Statement of Interest by a community triggers a complete assessment of its school system and can lead to realignment. Although dating only back to 2007, the High School is overcrowded. It was built to hold 1,800 students, but 2,200 attended last year. There is no Middle School; K-8 students attend neighborhood schools throughout the city. “Overall, we’re in pretty good shape,” Tahiliani said. “The main issue is space.” A number of remarks in Public Comment referred to overcrowding. “Our children are Friday, September 1, 2023 Supt. reports MSBA reps will tour high school as part of city’s aid application starting another year in overcrowded classrooms when Pope John’s just sits there,” retired teacher Peggy Serino said in reference to the closed Catholic school on Broadway. Millie Cardello and science teacher Nancy Cianchetta also talked about overcrowded classrooms. Cianchetta feels the current alignment needs expansion.

During a subsequent bench trial on July 27, Judge Cathleen Campbell found Harris guilty of being an armed career criminal, based on 2007 convictions for armed assault to murder and assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon. Judge Campbell sentenced Harris to life in prison with the possibility of parole at 25 years on the charge of murder and fi ve years to fi ve years and one day concurrent with the murder and each other on the armed career criminal charges. “We will not allow this kind of gun violence to go unchecked in Middlesex County. As Harris’s conviction on all of these charges illustrates, we have an unswerving commitment to prosecuting these cases. We will pursue every avenue to hold those defendants, such as Harris, who repeatedly engage in violence and threaten the safety of others, fully accountable,” said District Attorney Ryan. At approximately 3:40 a.m. on Saturday, October 14, 2017, the Somerville Police received 911 calls reporting gun shots in the area of Jacques Street. Officers responded and determined that the location of the gunshots was in the parking lot behind 20 Canal Ln., which is part of a housing development operated by the Somerville Housing Authority. In the parking lot, police found a revolver and a gold chain, which were later determined to have Harris’ DNA on them. The investigation revealed that Raymond had been shot in that parking lot and then transported to CHA Hospital. He had sustained three gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival at the hospital. Following Raymond’s murder, investigators located multiple videos capturing Harris driving a vehicle that matched the suspect vehicle in and around the area of the murder both before and after the shooting. Investigators also were able to locate a video of Harris wearing a gold chain that matched a gold chain that was found in the parking lot behind 20 Canal Ln. Both that chain and a revolver found in that parking lot were later determined to bear Harris’ DNA. Additionally, Raymond’s blood was found in the vehicle Harris was driving that night. He was arrested on November 3, 2017. This case was investigated by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Offi ce, Massachusetts State Police Detectives assigned to the District Attorney’s Offi ce, Somerville Police, Massachusetts State Police, Cambridge Police, Boston Police, Everett Police, Medford Police and Medway Police. The prosecutors assigned to this case are Assistant District Attorneys Nicole Allain and Ashlee Mastrangelo. The Victim Witness Advocate is Joanne Szeto.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 1, 2023 Page 5 SOUNDS OF EVERETT Talk about name-calling…here’s some names for ya By James Mitchell D uring Monday night’s usual dumpster fire at the School Committee meeting, or as its now called, Public Participation by Team Capone, the usual suspects were back at it again, making the usual noise of ”we hate the mayor” – you know, to help the children of Everett. What a joke! This crew of Tahiliani cheerleaders would do anything to return her to her throne of disaster. But alas, the school board had the guts and common sense not to renew her contract. And to show you just how smart she and her band of slackers are, they believe that she could actually become a candidate for her old position. And why, in God’s name, would the School Committee – who decided not to renew her contract – allow her to become a candidate for a job she failed at and was never qualified? Sorry, Team Capone, but all the fake news from the Fishwrap’s corrupt reporter Josh Resnek and Tahiliani’s double-dipping Communications Director David O’Connor cannot whitewash this superintendent’s lack of qualifications, test scores and shameless self-promoting at the expense of the high school students. Imagine, this crew is upset over the name-calling. I wonder how upset they were when the Everett Leader Herald’s corrupt publisher, Josh Resnek, was writing disgusting lies about the mayor. Not so much, is my guess. What hypocrites. My advice to Tahiliani and her gang: Get out of politics if you can’t take it. And about those names, let’s see, where do we start? How about Tony “The Razor” Raymond; former convicted bank robber in 2004 and jailed for contempt in a 2005 Federal arson case, with a rap sheet filled of crimes such as assault & battery. He is also the genius behind the Facebook page, The Everett Reporter, which published all the fake stories by the Everett Leader Herald about the mayor, and calls on all his “Team Capone” members to write to his prison pals and show up to all City Council and School Committee meetings to intimidate their members. Another hater is Paula Sterite, who actually asked the school board on Monday night what qualifies them to grade the superintendent. Well, Paula, the answer to that question is the school board members were actually elected by the people – you know, through the Democratic Process of elections; and that’s their job. I guess Paula won’t be invited to any Mensa meetings.

Often, these pictures feature a child holding a “first day of school” sign with basic information, such as their name and grade. But before you jump on the trend and snap a similar picture of your little one, read these tips from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and be cautious about what you share. Back-to-school photo tips • Avoid sharing personal details about your child. Back-toschool photos often involve kids holding a board with their full name, age, height and other details. Scammers or predators could use this information to commit identity theft or earn your child’s trust. • Leave off information about kids’ schools. Even sharing the name of your child’s school, teacher or grade level SOUNDS | FROM PAGE 5 And then we have local businesswoman, Reading, Mass., resident and head mayor hater Sandy Juliano, who could be seen sitting at the feet of her beloved supt. as she shouted into the bullhorn outside City Hall calling for all the racists to resign as a large number of high school students just dropped their signs and walked away thanks to their early release. Must have been a field trip on self-serving propaganda. Funny how so many of the signs the students were carrying read, “Priya For Everett.” Even before the School Committee decided to give you the boot, you needed to get the kids involved – and The Boston Globe. Pathetic – but I guess if you can’t do the job – then create a diversion. Nothing to see here, parents. There are more bad actors for the good folks of Everett to know – all one has to do could make them a target for unscrupulous people. Not to mention, these details are often used as security questions for banking or credit card accounts. • Double-check your privacy settings. Review your social media account’s privacy settings regularly. Be mindful of who can view your posts. You might want to remove personal information from your account that others can see, such as your telephone number or address. • Watch out for phony friend requests. Don’t accept friend requests from strangers. Also, think twice before you accept a friend request from someone you are already connected with. It could be an impostor trying to access your information and friends list. More back-to-school tips from BBB are at https://www. bbb.org/all/back-to-school is watch with disgust, mind you, the “Public Participation” during the City council and School Committee meetings to see the same bad actors talking trash about their own city – and demanding a return of this phony school supt. who would never have qualified for the position to begin with in any city or town had it not have been for a former School Committee member whose kid needed to stay on the public payroll despite his serious legal issues. And that doesn’t include his two other sons, daughter-in-law, and nephew who are also on the school dept. payroll. Thankfully, the voters kicked him to the curb in the last election. And if they’re still paying attention, they’ll do it again come November when the voters remind Tom Abbruzzese – and the Team Capone circus – that their wretched act has gotten old.

I have plans to expand this program, so that we have a bigger turnout for years to come,” the rookie coach said. The 2023 varsity captains will be announced later today, Sept. 1, and they will be in charge of a roster consisting of 16 players. Each and every one of the players on this year’s team has something different to offer, according to Wright. “I’m extremely impressed and excited at what I’m seeing, especially considering many of the players have never played before,” the coach added. “We have a strong defense that could be unstoppable. But we have some big hitters also on offense. I think we will see what happens in our first game,” she said. Nicola Jones returns as the team’s assistant coach.

Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 1, 2023 Seven Tips Towards Healthy Aging By Laurie Fullerton S eptember is known as Healthy Aging Month, as it is just a great time of year to make some lifestyle changes. As our hot, summer days wind down, we all tend to draw on that “back to school” urge embedded in everyone from childhood. It is a time to focus and take precautions to help face the challenges that come with aging. Healthy Aging Month started over 30 years ago in 1992 when a television special aired that inspired people to make lifestyle and dietary changes to prevent heart problems. At the time, the show received the American Heart Association’s Howard Blakeslee Award. Many campaigns followed, including the distribution of books, brochures, videotapes, etc. In 2000, the “Healthy Aging Magazine” was launched followed by their website launch in 2014. The founder of Healthy Aging Magazine, Carolyn Worthington, notes that September is a perfect time to celebrate Healthy Aging Month when many people think about getting started on new tasks after the summer. Over the years, it has featured articles and information on positive lifestyle changes that could boost one’s health and well-being. The publication draws on the observance month’s activities that are designed to encourage people to rejuvenate and get going on positive measures that can impact the areas of physical, social, fi nancial and mental wellness. Here are Seven Tips for Reinventing Yourself during Septem ber according to Healthy Aging Month magazine. 1. Do not act your age or at least what you think your current age should act like. What was your best year so far? 28? 40? Now? Picture yourself at that age and be it. Some people may say this is denial, but we say it’s positive thinking and goes a long way toward feeling better about yourself. (Tip: Don’t keep looking in the mirror, just FEEL IT!) 2. Be positive in your conversations and your actions every day. When you catch yourself complaining, check yourself right there and change the conversation to something positive. 3. Surround yourself with energetic, happy, positive people of all ages and you will be happier too. (Tip: Smile often. It’s contagious and wards off naysayers.) 4. Start walking not only for your health but to see other people and stay social. 5. Make this month the time to set up your annual physical and other health screenings. Go to the appointments and then, hopefully, you can stop worrying about ailments for a while. 6. Find your inner artist. Who says taking music lessons is for young school children? You may have an artist lurking inside you just waiting to be tapped. Have you always wanted to play the piano, violin, or tuba? Have you ever wondered if you could paint a portrait or scene in oil? What about working in wood? 7. Eat and Drink Healthy – Make healthy choices like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, low-fat dairy products and plenty of water!

I’m a divorced 58-year-old women with a teenaged son and have very little saved for retirement. Financially Vulnerable Dear Vulnerable, It’s an unfortunate reality, but many single women – whether they’re divorced, widowed or never married – face much greater financial challenges in retirement than men. The reasons behind this are because women tend to earn less money – about 82 cents for every dollar that men make, on average, and they have shorter working careers than men due to raising children and/or caring for aging parents. And less money earned usually translates into less money saved and a lower Social Security benefi t when you retire. In addition, women live an average of fi ve years longer than men, which requires their retirement income to stretch farther for living expenses and healthcare costs. And, according to some studies, women tend to have less confi dence about fi nancial issues than men, which means they don’t always manage their money as well as they should. Because of these issues, it’s very important that women educate themselves on fi nancial matters and learn how to save more effectively. Here are some tips and resources that may help. Start Saving Aggressively If your employer offers a retirement plan, such as a 401K, you should contribute enough to at least capitalize on a company match, if available. And if you can swing it, contribute even more. In 2023, you can save as much as $22,500 in a 401(k), or $30,000 to those 50 and older, due to the catch-up rule. If you don’t have a workplace plan, consider opening a Traditional or Roth IRA. Both are powerful tax-advantaged retirement savings accounts that let you contribute up to $6,500 annually, or $7,500 when you’re over 50. And if you’re self-employed, consider a SEP-IRA, SIMPLE-IRA and/ or a solo 401(k), all of which can help reduce your taxable income while putting money away for retirement. Also, if you have a high-deductible health insurance policy (at least $1,500 for self-only coverage or $3,000 for family coverage), you should consider opening a health savings account (HSA). This is a triple tax advantage tool that can be used to sock away funds pre-tax, which will lower your taxable income; the money in the account grows tax-free; and if you use the money for eligible medical expenses, the withdrawals are tax-free too. Pay Off Debts If you have debt, you need to get it under control. If you need help with this, consider a nonprofit credit-counseling agency that provides free or low-cost advice and solutions, and can help you set up a debt management plan. To locate a credible agency in your area, use the National Foundation for Credit Counseling website at NFCC.org (800-388-2227), or the or the Financial Counseling Association of America FCAA.org (800-450-1794). Find Help To help you educate yourself on fi nancial matters like retirement planning, saving and investing, health care, annuities and more, a top resource is the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement at WiserWomen.org. And to help you get up to speed on Social Security, visit SSA.gov/people/women. This web page, dedicated to women, provides helpful publications like “What Every Woman Should Know,” along with links to benefit calculators and your personal Social Security account to help you fi gure out your future earnings at diff erent retirement ages. You should also consider getting a fi nancial assessment with a fee-only fi nancial advisor. Costs for these services will vary from around $150 to $300 per hour, but this can be very benefi cial to help you set-up a retirement plan you can follow. See NAPFA.org or GarrettPlanningNetwork.com to locate an advisor in your area. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

MASSterlist will bee-mailed to you FREE every Monday through Friday morning and will give you a leg up on what’s happening in the blood sport of Bay State politics. For more information and to get your free subscription, go to: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/aPTLucK 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 2023 session through August 25. Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 61 votes from the 2023 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 34 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. Walter Timilty (D-Milton) who voted with her only 52 times (85.2 percent). Rounding out the top four who voted with Creem the least number of times are Sens. John Keenan (D-Quincy) who voted with her 55 times (91.6 percent); and Barry Finegold (D-Andover) and Becca Rausch (D-Needham)who each voted with her 57 times (93.4 percent). Beacon Hill Roll Call contacted these four senators and asked them to comment on the percentage of times, lower than the other senators, each one voted with the leadership. Only one of the four responded. “I always respect and value the views and contributions of all my colleagues,” said Sen. Keenan. “I also recognize the difference in our perspectives and the politics of the districts we represent, and these sometimes lead to differences in voting records. What has always guided me in voting is doing what I believe is right and what best benefits my constituents and all the residents of the commonwealth.” Sens. Timilty, Finegold and Rausch were contacted three times but did not respond. Overall, 33 of the 34 Democrats (97 percent) voted with Creem 90 percent or more of the time -- including 19 (55.8 percent) who voted with Creem 100 percent of the time and nine (26.4 percent) who voted with Creem all but one time. The votes of the two Republican senators were compared with those of GOP Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) voted with Tarr 61 times (100 percent) while Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) voted with Tarr 60 times (98.3 percent). SENATORS’ SUPPORT OF THEIR PARTY’S LEADERSHIP IN 2023 THROUGH AUGUST 25 The percentage next to the senator’s name represents the percentage of times the senator supported his or her party’s leadership so far in 2023. The number in parentheses represents the number of times the senator opposed his or her party’s leadership. Some senators voted on all 61 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. Sen. Sal DiDomenico 9 8 . 3 percent (1) ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL DUELING VERSION OF TAX REDUCTION BILLS ARE STILL STUCK IN COMMITTEE (H 377 and S 2406) – A 6-member House-Senate conference committee, appointed on June 20, is still negotiating the hammering out of a compromise version of different versions of competing tax relief packages approved by each branch. The Senate’s package would cost the state about $590 million annually, while the House’s would cost close to $1.1 billion. In the meantime, there are dozens of tax relief bills pending before the Revenue Committee. Here are some of them: CHARITABLE DEDUCTION (S 1801) – Would allow the state’s charitable deduction to be claimed only by taxpayers who do not itemize their federal returns -- a group that supporters say generally consists of lower to moderate income people. They say the bill makes the charitable tax deduction more progressive. “This bill strikes the right balance between encouraging charitable contributions and ensuring that our tax code is fair,” said sponsor Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough). DEDUCT COLLEGE TUITION COSTS (S 1884) – Would allow students or their parents, on their state tax returns, to deduct up to 50 percent of their tuition payments to public colleges in the Bay State. “An individual choosing to pursue higher education is a student making an investment not only in their own future, but also in the future of the commonwealth,” said sponsor Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury). “I believe we ought to encourage and celebrate that. At a time when higher education is becoming increasingly unaffordable, creating a tax deduction for students pursuing a degree at one of Massachusetts’ world-class colleges or universities seems like a no-brainer. Increasing access to education makes all of us more competitive, more productive and more successful. Let’s do what we can to make higher ed possible for every student who wants it.” ALLOW STATE INCOME TAX DEDUCTION FOR SCHOOL AND MUNICIPAL FEES PAID BY RESIDENTS (H 2868) – Would provide a tax deduction for the school fees that parents must often pay for their public school children and for trash pick-up and disposal fees. Supporters say most public schools levy a variety of fees on their students including fees to park cars in school lots, to enroll in full-day kindergarten, to ride the school bus, to participate in after-school sports and to join clubs and other extracurricular activities. “I filed this bill because many families in my district and in MetroWest pay over $1,000 per year in school fees,” said sponsor Rep. David Linsky (D-Natick). “All these services were formerly funded through the local property tax, though that is no longer the case. [The bill] will benefit the middle class and help to uplift the purpose of well-rounded public schools.” CONSERVATION LAND TAX CREDIT (H 2839) – Makes changes to the state’s current Conservation Land Tax Credit (CLTC) law which provide an incentive for individuals to donate land in Massachusetts to a public or private conservation agency. The CLTC provides an up to $75,000 refundable state tax credit equal to 50 percent of the fair market value of the donated property. The land being donated must have significant conservation value, which includes forest land, farmland, land used for wildlife protection and projects essential to water quality protection. The bill would increase the current annual statewide maximum total CLTC cap allowed from $2 million to $5 million over a three-year period. The $5 million cap will remain in effect until December 31, 2034, at which time the cap will revert back to $2 million. “For every $1 in tax credits paid out under this program, the state has leveraged $4.16 of private land donated value, which is a tremendous return,” said sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “Since the CLTC was launched, it has protected over 15,000 acres of land with an appraised value of over $89 million, with many more projects already lined up seeking a tax credit. Increasing the annual cap will help clear up the waiting list and allow more landowners to take advantage of the tax credit while also ensuring that more of the state’s natural resources are protected.” BEACON | SEE PAGE 18 ~LEGAL NOTICE~ NOTICE OF PUBLIC SALE Notice is hereby given by Paul’s Towing 3 Buell Street, Everett, MA, pursuant to the provisions of M.G.L c. 255, Section 39A, that they will sell or junk the following vehicles on or after September 9, 2023 beginning at 10:00am by private or public sale to satisfy their garage keepers lien for towing, storage, and notices of sale.

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 latenight sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

Students and taxpayers are telling you they want to keep the Superintendent.” “Anyone who has worked has probably had an annual job review,” Lillian Gorman added. “After receiving satisfactory scores, I’d assume my job was safe, not being voted out before my contract expired.” Sterite also admonished some members for accepting support from former Superintendent James Hanlon in their election campaigns despite him having been in jail for indecent assault and battery. She would like to have a Superintendent “who can’t be a black hole at the center of what? 15. On what old radio show would you find “Bebopareebop Rhubarb Pie?” 16.

In Everett, that’s a rarity.” “It’s silly to look at her tenure and say nothing good came of it,” Cianchetta said of Tahiliani. “She’s given us the best she had to offer and saw us through the pandemic.” “Many parents are upset why the School Committee is looking for a new Superintendent so close to the start of the school year,” Cardello added. “They fear there’ll be disruption. They don’t understand why you want to get rid of her. The children love her. You can’t blame one person for low MCAS scores. There are many reasons for low scores.” She also feels “We can state our case in a civil manner” and asked, “What are we showing our children?” Speakers also objected to being called clowns in a local newspaper. “To call citizens clowns is totally inappropriate,” Gorman feels. “I am disgusted a local newspaper is resorting to name-calling,” Wendy Poste offered. “I love clowns,” Serino joked. She also said, “Last week’s paper took a shot at what the Superintendent majored in” and alluded to “the person who wrote the article and who they wrote it for,” without elaborating. ANSWERS Matters brought up in Public Participation are not subject to debate or discussion at the same meeting. It would violate Open Meeting Law regulations to discuss a matter not on the agenda because there’s no advance notification to the public the matter is being discussed or something decided. Usually, the subject is placed on an agenda of a subsequent meeting. “Everybody is entitled to their opinion,” School Committee Chair Michael Mangan said. “I respect that.” Tahiliani had no comment. In other developments, Class of 2024 student Sal G. DiDomenico, son of State Senator Sal N. DiDomenico, attended his first School Committee meeting as Student Representative. “I want to bring a student voice to the School Committee and have students involved in local government,” he said. His friend and classmate Benjamin Brag said DiDomenico becoming Student Rep was “not unexpected.” “I’m very proud of him,” State Senator DiDomenico said of his son. “He’ll be a valuable member of the School Committee.” “I’m sure he’s up to the task,” Mangan added.
