ADDOCCO TEAT Free Every Friday Supt., school board hopeful on plan for reuse of former EHS By Neil Zolot S chool Committee Chairperson Jeanne Cristiano and School Superintendent William Hart expressed concern due to the critical level of overcrowding across the Everett Public School district but are hopeful the City Council will soon appropriate $72 million to renovate the old High School on Broadway, to move 7th and 8th graders out of neighborhood schools to relieve overcrowding. “I can’t say how much we need this enough and we’re getting down to where we need to be,” Cristiano said. “I’m sure the City Council can iron out the EHS, including the Eliot Family Resource Center and a boxing club. “It’s taking longer than I Kelly St. Fort School Committee Student Rep issues,” a reference to concerns voiced by many City Councillors at their last meeting on September 9, about the fate of current tenants of the old hoped, but the City Council understands where we are,” Hart added in reference to councillors’ comments on September 9. “They’ve acknowledged it’s a good plan and it’s important everyone has their concerns addressed. I want to respect that. I want everyone to be comfortable with the plan.” Part of the frustration is based on the School Committee and Superintendent’s inability to act independently.

From 4:30 to 6 p.m., the Stadium will be open to EHS students only, as they enjoy food trucks, a U.S. Army Obstacle Course, games and music, in the lead-up to the game. The gates open to the public at 6 p.m. Tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for students and senior citizens. Everett High’s dominance from 2001–2003 was a sight to behold. Players from that era included Matthew and Frank Nuzzo, Darryl Doe, Gennaro Leo, Victor Ruiz, Andre Rutigliano, Dan Connors, Brian Schurko, Danny Sullivan, Theluxon Pierre, Eric Mazzeo, Adam Arsenault, Paul Arsenault, Joshua DelGaizo, Paolo Lambresa, Ross Pietrantonio, Tom Lam – to name just a select few from these three dominating teams that were coached by the incomparable John DiBiaso. “Many of the players and coaches from the early 2000’s still live in Everett, they work for the EPS and the City, and they remain active in our community,” said Superintendent Hart. “We are looking forward to seeing them on the field inside Veterans Memorial Stadium, where they produced some of the best moments in the long and illustrious history of the Crimson Tide football program.” Thanks go to the team of EHS administrators who are planning this year’s Homecoming Game, including Athletic Director Tammy Turner, Assistant Athletic Director Steve Gallagher, EHS Dean Rico Dello Iacono, Music Coordinator Eugene O’Brien and EHS Administrative Assistant Gina Gennette. 2001-2003 – Dominance Personified The following information would not be possible without the book “City of Champions, A Crimson Tide Dynasty: 1892-2007,” by the late Arnie Boardman. The 2001 season was an historic one, as it marked the first year of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association’s four-team playoff format, under which teams played a semifinal game the week after Thanksgiving, followed by the Super Bowls on the ensuing Saturday. With the extra game, the Tide finished 11-1, marking the first time since 1926 that EHS played 12 games in a season. The Crimson Tide suffered their only loss during this three-year stretch on Thanksgiving of 2001, a 13-7 stunner to Cambridge. But they rebounded with a hard-fought, 17-13 victory over St. John’s Prep in the Division 1 semifinals, before beating BridgewaThe 2001 EHS Crimson Tide Football Team The 2002 EHS Crimson Tide Football Team The 2003 EHS Crimson Tide Football Team ter-Raynham, 8-7, in a memorable Division 1 Super Bowl. The Super Bowl victory featured one of the most iconic plays in EHS history: Gennaro Leo leaped into the end zone for a two-point conversion with 30 seconds remaining in the game, providing EHS the narrowest margin of victory. From there, Coach DiBiaso and Co. assumed juggernaut status. The 2002 Crimson Tide went 12-0, outscoring their foes by an aggregate score of 381-84. After a narrow win over Leominster (14-13) in the season opener, the Crimson Tide were not challenged again until the Division 1 Super Bowl. In another Play of the Century candidate, Frank Nuzzo returned an interception 94 yards for the game-winning touchdown late in the third quarter. The victory was sealed when Brian Schurko fell on a fumble in the Everett end zone with 1:32 remaining in the game, thwarting a would-be game-winning drive by the Prep. The 2003 team left nothing to chance or doubt, winning all 11 of its games by double digits behind the stellar play of quarterback Matt Nuzzo (who threw for 10 touchdowns and ran for eight more) and a stifling defense that recorded four shutouts – including a 21-0 triumph over Marshfield in the Division 1 Super Bowl.

Dr. Priti Amlani DiDomenico Secures Critical Food Security Funding in State Budget Special to The Advocate T his summer, Senator Sal DiDomenico and his colleagues in the legislature enacted a $58 billion budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This budget was a victory for families and working people in his district and throughout the Commonwealth. Senator DiDomenico was especially proud to secure his amendments and priorities that invest significantly in food security programs throughout Massachusetts. Senator DiDomenico ensured that $42 million that was included for food services in the Massachusetts Emergency Food Assistance Program (MEFAP). DiDomenico also secured $250,000 in additional funding for the program’s operations services. For the fourth time since 2020, DiDomenico helped secure a 10% increase in cash benefits for low-income families. Because of these increases, low-income families, older residents, and individuals with disabilities in Massachusetts receive around $100-$200 more each month in cash assistance benefits than they would have gotten without these historic investments. This will help countless people in need afford basic necessities like food, housing, and healthcare for themselves and their families. DiDomenico’s longtime priority, Universal School Meals, was fully funded again with a $170 million investment. The Hunger Free Campus Initiative was provided a $500,000 investment. DiDomenico has once again supported this important program priority that helps eliminate food insecurity on college campuses. $15 million was secured for the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP). Senator DiDomenico has ensured funding for this program which helps families buy healthy, local fruits and vegetables from farm vendors across the state. Senator DiDomenico also advocated for the inclusion of $15 million for Food Security Infrastructure Grants. These grants ensure that individuals and families throughout the Commonwealth have access to food, with a special focus on food that is produced locally. “I couldn’t be prouder to have helped secure these investments which will assist people in need keep food on their table so they can survive and thrive in our state,” said Senator Sal DiDomenico. “It is my highest priority to ensure people all over my district and throughout the Commonwealth never have to worry about their next meal. These programs will go a long way towards eliminating hunger in our state.” Dr. Bhavisha Patel * Restorative Dentistry * Cosmetic Dentistry * Implant Restoration * Zoom Whitening * Teeth in a Day - All on 6 * Invisalign * CEREC Crowns (Single Visit Crowns) * Root Canal Treatment * Sedation Dentistry ~ Full Mouth Rehabilitation ~ Before After

He has some balance issues along with arthritis in his hips and could use a little more help than a cane provides. Wobbly in Wisconsin Dear Wobbly, When it comes to choosing a walker, there are several styles and options to consider, but selecting the best one for your father will depend on his needs, as well as where he’ll be using it. Here are some tips that can help you choose. Types of Walkers There are three basic types of walkers on the market today. To help your dad choose, consider how much support he’ll need. Then, pay a visit to a medical equipment store or pharmacy (see Medicare.gov/ medical-equipment-suppliers) that sells walkers so he can test-walk a few. Here are the diff erent types he’ll have to choose from. Standard walker: This is the most basic style of walker that has four legs with rubber-based feet (no wheels), is very lightweight (5 to 6 pounds) and typically costs between $30 and $100. This type of walker must be picked up and moved forward as you walk, so it’s best suited for people who need signifi - cant weight bearing support, or who are walking very short distances. Two-wheeled walker: This has the same four-leg style as the standard walker except it has wheels on the two front legs that allow you to easily push the walker forward without lifting, while the back legs glide across the fl oor providing support while you step forward. These are best for people with balance issues and are priced at around $50 to $150. Rollator: This is a rolling walker that has wheels on all (three or four) legs. Fourwheel rollators typically come with a built-in seat, basket and hand-breaks and are best suited for people who need assistance with balance or endurance inside or outside the home. Some rollators even come with pushdown brakes that engage with downward pressure and will lock if you sit on the seat. Or, if you dad needs to navigate tight spaces at home, three-wheel rollators, which don’t have a seat, are a nice option. Rollators typically run between $60 and $250. Other Tips After deciding on the type of walker, there a few additional things you need to know to ensure it meets your dad’s needs. First, be sure the walker’s height is adjusted appropriately. To do this, have your dad stand with his arms relaxed at his sides. The handgrips of the walker should line up with the crease on the inside of his wrist. If your dad is a large person, verify that the walker’s weight capacity will support him, and if he chooses a fourwheel rollator, that his body can fit between the handgrips when sitting. Heavy duty (bariatric) rollators with higher weight capacities, bigger wheels and wider seats are also an option. Your dad also needs to test the handgrips to make sure they’re comfortable and be sure to purchase a walker that folds up (most do) for easier storage and transport. There are also walker accessories that can be added for convenience such as food tray attachments, tote bags for carrying personal items, oxygen tank holders, and tennis ball walker glides that go over the feet of a standard walker to help it slide more easily across the fl oor. For more tips on how to choose and use a walker, visit Mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/healthy-aging/in-depth/ walker/art-20546805. It’s also a smart idea to work with your dad’s doctor or a physical therapist, and be sure to get a written prescription, as Medicare will cover 80 percent of the cost.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 20, 2024 Page 9 Tide girls soccer regroups as a team to win two straight against Malden, Chelsea By Joe McConnell A Everett will play host to Lynn Classical Tuesday, Somerville Thursday at 7-Acre team’s designated set play fter starting the season with three straight losses, the Everett High School girls soccer team (2-1 in the Greater Boston League, 2-3 overall) have seemingly turned it around quickly with GBL wins over Malden (5-2) and Chelsea (6-4) last week. In the Sept. 13 edition of the Everett Advocate, coach Dom Persuitte said that he thought his team just might be on the cusp of winning, despite the slow start. His clairvoyance was spot-on, maybe sooner than expected. One week ago, he said: “This was another tough loss (to Methuen, 7-1), but I’m seeing signs of improvement.” That loss to Methuen was on Sept. 7, but just three days later, the Everett girls reversed the trend quickly with a rather convincing win over the Golden Tornadoes, 5-2. “(This) was a massive win (for us against Malden). The team was working hard and together in this game (to secure the first win),” said Persuitte. Yelsa Garcia netted all five goals, two of them on penalty kicks, to help lead her Tide teammates to victory. Luna Maselli and Alondra Flores provided assists on Garcia’s three other tallies. Goalies Emilia Maria-Babcock and Ashley Heath split the time in net, and did a great job holding their Malden counterparts at bay, according to Persuitte. The veteran coach also praised the contributions of Flores that helped secure the win, saying, “on top of her assist to Garcia, Flores stepped up and played with heart and aggression.” Varsity newcomer Gisele Erazo and Connie Paz-Hernandez, a couple of wingers, were also singled out by the coach after this game, along with freshman Leilany Rodriguez, who played her defensive role on the team very well. Alongside Flores, freshman Rosa Romero did her part to control the midfield. Sofia Arana-Quintanilla, as the kicker and left back, was also “phenomenal” in this game, said Persuitte. On Sept. 12, the Tide girls kept up their winning ways against Chelsea, 6-4. “Chelsea gave us a good run for our money, but we came out on top as a team,” said Persuitte. Persuitte credits the bench players for this win. “I moved many players into different positions (to get more involved in the game),” he said. Maria-Babcock netted her first goal of the season from Flores, before closing out this game in net. Arana-Quintanilla was credited with her first penalty kick in high school, while Garcia paced the offensive attack once again with four more goals, one on a breakaway and another on a deflection off the Chelsea goalie. Flores had one of her best games as a Tide player, according to Persuitte, while taking charge of the defenLady Tide’s Yelsa Garcia with the ball scored all five goals against Malden recently.

The Tide girls have since gone up against Revere (Sept. 17) and Lynn English (Sept. 19) this week after press deadline, before hosting Lynn Classical Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 7-Acre, starting at 4:15 p.m. Somerville will then come to town two days later to play the Tide at the same time and place.

Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 20, 2024 DIDOMENICO | FROM PAGE 3 proud to support this legislative package, and I am thrilled that we are moving our state forward in helping ensure our long-term care and assisted living facilities are safe and providing quality care throughout the Commonwealth. We are all going to need some form of care when we get older, and it is our obligation in government to guarantee everyone has the right to age with dignity. I want to thank Governor Healey, Senate President Spilka, Chair Rodrigues, and Senator Jehlen for prioritizing this critical legislation.” The new law, Chapter 197 of the Acts of 2024, includes the following: • LGBTQ+ inclusion: requires each long-term care facility to provide staff training on the rights and care of LGBTQ+ older adults and older adults living with HIV; forbids any longterm care facility and longterm care facility staff from discriminating based in whole or in part on a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, intersex status or HIV status, whether through the denial of admission, medical or non-medical care, access to restrooms or through room assignments. • Improving the workforce: The law’s Long-Term Care Workforce and Capital Fund supports several new initiatives to recruit and retain a dedicated long-term care workforce, including grants to develop new Certified Nursing Assistants, career ladder grants for direct care workers to train to become Licensed Practical Nurses and leadership and supervisory training for nursing home leaders. The fund also establishes a no interest or forgivable capital loan program to offset certain capital costs, including the development of specialized care units, and to fund other capital improvements. Civil penalties secured by the Attorney General against nursing home facilities for abuse or neglect will be deposited into the fund to support these initiatives. • Estates: limits MassHealth estate recovery to only federally mandated recovery and removes estate recovery for residents receiving assistance under CommonHealth. • Medication aides: requires the Department of Public Health (DPH), in consultation with the Board of Registration in Nursing, to create a program for the certification, training and oversight of certified medication aides who shall be authorized to administer medications to residents of long-term care facilities. • Access to services: makes it easier for assisted living residences (ALRs) to offer basic health services, such as helping a resident administer drops, manage their oxygen or take a home diagnostic test. The legislation requires ALRs to create service plans that demonstrate a residence has the necessary procedures in place, such as staff training and policies, to ensure safe and effective delivery of basic health services. • Ensuring quality care: enhances oversight and compliance of ALRs by lowering the threshold for ownership interest disclosure from 25 per cent to five per cent. Under the new law, applicants are required to demonstrate that any prior multifamily housing, ALRs or health care facilities in which they had an interest met all the licensure or certification criteria. If any of these facilities were subject to enforcement action, the applicant must provide evidence that they corrected these deficiencies without revocation of licensure or certification. This law also gives the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA) new powers to penalize noncompliance by allowing EOEA to fine ALRs up to $500 per day. This is in addition to existing EOEA powers to modify, suspend or revoke a certification, or deny a recertification. Finally, the law adds whistleblower protections for staff and residents who report anything happening at an ALR that they reasonably believe is a threat to the health or safety of staff or residents. Further, the law authorizes the Attorney General to file a civil action against a person who commits abuse, mistreatment or neglect of a patient or resident; misappropriates patient or resident property and/or recklessly permits or causes another to commit abuse, mistreatment or neglect of a patient or resident or misappropriate patient or resident property. • Requires DPH to inspect each long-term care facility annually to assess quality of services and compliance; requires DPH to review the civil litigation history, in addition to the criminal history, of the long-term care facility applicants, including any litigation related to quality of care, patient safety, labor issues or deceptive business practices. The law requires DPH to review the financial capacity of an applicant and its history in providing long-term care in Massachusetts and other states. It requires applicants to notify DPH if it is undergoing financial distress, such as filing for bankruptcy, defaulting on a lending agreement or undergoing receivership. The law allows DPH to limit, restrict or revoke a long-term care facility license for cause, such as substantial or sustained failure to provide adequate care, substantial or sustained failure to comply with laws or regulations or lack of financial capacity to operate a facility. It also gives DPH the power to appoint a temporary manager if a long-term care facility owner fails to maintain substantial or sustained compliance with laws and regulations. This manager would be brought on for at least three months, at the facility owner’s expense, to bring the facility into compliance. • Small house nursing homes: Some evidence has demonstrated superior clinical outcomes in addition to higher resident and staff satisfaction levels at these locations. The law streamlines the process for small house nursing homes to be licensed in the Commonwealth. • Outbreak response planning, enhanced training, and financial performance: The law requires long-term care facilities to develop individualized outbreak response plans to contain the spread of disease and ensure consistent communication with DPH, residents, families and staff. These plans must include written policies to meet staffing, training and facility demands during an infectious disease outbreak and requires plans to be reviewed and resubmitted to DPH annually.

PLAN FOR REUSE | FROM PAGE 1 “This is out of our purview,” Cristiano explained. “We can’t appropriate money to build a school.” “Pieces of this are beyond my ability to do anything about it,” Hart confirmed. “The City Council wants to be sure the building I get is secure and we have enough space to do what we need, but I can only give assurances about things I’m in control of.” As a former city councillor, Cristiano is sympathetic to the present councillors’ concerns, including Council President and Ward 5 Councillor Robert Van Campen, in whose ward the old EHS is located. “It’s in his ward and he’s doing his job,” she said. “Constituents have spoken to him. Their questions need to be answered.” Time is a factor, however. Hart said estimates for construction and renovation are between 18 and 24 months, which could have the building open for students in January or September of 2026. If it comes down to moving one grade at a time, Hart said, seventh would probably go first to give them as much time in the building and because eighth would only be there a year at most. He would prefer to move both together. There has been talk of moving some of the current old EHS tenants, including Eliot, to the unused former Pope John XXIII High School, at 888 Broadway, but mostly facing Lafayette Street, close to the Malden line. On September 9, Councillor-at-Large John Hanlon said Eliot should be located “where our families can get to them. Their kids are our students. They have to be in the middle of Everett,” which the old High School is. Having Eliot at Pope John would dovetail with the For Kids Only afterschool program there, but the City could lose Eliot altogether. They are located in Everett by choice and could be sited in any community in their service area, which includes Chelsea, Malden and Medford. Most of their patrons are from Everett because they’re in Everett. Use of Pope John as a school is not viable according to Hart, based on inadequate capacity, although some in the city seem obsessed with the idea. At their meeting on Monday, the School Committee met new High School Student Council members seniors Milena Antonio and Trevon Carrington, junior Kaylee Rodriguez and sophomore Kristin Calix. They were accompanied by their faculty advisor history teacher Carolyn MacWilliam and attended, in part, to support fellow Student Councillor and its representative to the School Committee, senior Kelly St. Fort, who succeeds 2024 graduate Sal DiDomenico in the post. It was St. Fort’s second meeting as Student Representative. “It’s going great,” she said. “I have a good team behind me.” She’s been involved in student government since her freshman year and quickly set her sights on being the Student Rep. “I watched the other representatives and was inspired,” she remembers. She’s looking to go to college to study biomedical engineering and is applying to Harvard and Tufts among others.

This legislation also directs DPH, in coordination with other agencies and departments, to examine cost trends and financial performance across the nursing industry that will help regulators and policymakers untangle the complicated ownership structure of nursing homes. • Uniform prior authorization forms: The law requires the Division of Insurance to develop and implement uniform prior authorization forms for admissions from acute care hospitals to post-acute care facilities. • Two-year prior authorization pilot: requires that all payers, including MassHealth, approve or deny a request for prior authorization for admissions from acute care hospitals to post-acute care facilities or home health agencies for post-acute care services, by the next business day or to waive prior authorization altogether when a patient can be admitted over the weekend. In the case of prior authorization for nonemergency transportation between health care facilities, once authorization has been granted, that authorization must remain valid for at least seven days. • Establishes Hospital Throughput Task Force to study and propose recommendations to address acute care hospital throughput challenges and the impact of persistent delays in discharging patients from acute to postacute care settings. The task force will examine hospital discharge planning and case management practices; administrative legal and regulatory barriers to discharge; efforts to increase public awareness of health care proxies; post-acute care capacity constraints; the effectiveness of interagency coordination; and other items. • MassHealth long-term care eligibility: requires MassHealth to study the cost and feasibility of changes to its eligibility requirements with the goal of reducing the time applicants spend at acute care hospitals awaiting long-term care eligibility determinations. The study will consider improvements to the eligibility determination process, establishing a “rebuttable presumption” of eligibility, guaranteeing payment for long-term care services for up to one year and expanding the undue hardship waiver criteria. • Requires the Health Policy Commission to conduct an analysis and issue a report on the impact of Medicare accountable care organizations on the financial viability of long-term care facilities and continued access to services for Medicare patients.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 20, 2024 Page 13 Everett resident enrolls Tide boys soccer remains unbeaten with wins over Medford, Chelsea, and Malden tie Everett plays under the lights monday night against Classical at Lynn’s manning Field By Joe McConnell T he Everett High School boys soccer team (2-0-1) remains unbeaten after defeating Chelsea last Thursday, 1-0. They had already blanked host Medford in the opener on Sept. 5, 3-0, before tying Malden, 2-2 on Sept. 10. Coach Rodney Landaverde is naturally quite pleased with the results so far. “The boys have been playing really well together after applying a lot of the principles we have been working on in practice,” he said. “We will continue to sharpen those skills over the next few games and practices.” Captain Gabriel Garcia, freshman Jonathan Hernandez and Efrain Ramos scored the goals against Medford. Lucas Rabelo-Araujo assisted on all three scores. Goalie Douglas Landaverde made five saves to record the shutout. Landaverde praised the efforts of midfielders Luvens Hector, Santiago Arredondo, senior Kareem Drissi, who was recently named the team’s second captain, Rene Lainez and Timothy Villanueva after the Medford game. Against Malden, Garcia and Rabelo-Araujo netted the Everett goals. Hernandez and Hector were credited with one assist apiece. The Everett boys dominated the game, collecting many shots on goal, while Landaverde did his part to earn a point for his teammates in the standings. He was also a significant factor in the shutout triumph over the Red Devils. Hector accounted for the lone goal in the Chelsea game on a penalty kick. “We as a coaching staff have seen a lot of potential in this group to date, and we trust it will continue to build,” said Landaverde. Newly appointed captain Kareem Drissi has stepped up as a leader and player to earn a ton of minutes at midfield, according to the first-year boys soccer coach. The coach also mentioned that Hector has been outstanding. His versatility has definitely been an asset in the early going for the team. Going forward, Landaverde wants to see his team be more consistent in all aspects of the Members of the Everett boys’ soccer team line up to block the Malden penalty shot in recent GBL action.

Page 14 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 20, 2024 Tide football gets untracked against host Medford to even record at one Everett returns home to welcome non-league Division 1 powerhouse Xaverian to town tonight By Joe McConnell A fter dropping the home opener to non-league Mansfield, the Everett High School football team (1-1) dominated Greater Boston League (GBL) rival Medford at Medford’s Hormel Stadium last Thursday night to the tune of 34-14. But despite the lopsided win, second-year coach Justin Flores knows there’s room for improvement. “We still have a lot of work to do in all three phases of the game,” he said. “We need to tackle better and set the edges more consistently on defense, while on off ense, we need to do a better job running the ball all the time. But in the second half against Medford, we did a good job making some adjustments that allowed us to run the ball more consistently, which then opened up the passing game more.” Flores once again singled out the contributions of Carlos Rodrigues (14/22 for 222 passing yards with 3 TDs, 1 interception; 6 carries for 46 yards, 1 rushing touchdown) and Yariel Ortiz (8 receptions for 100 yards, 2 TDs) against Medford. “They were impressive for the second year in a row,” the coach added. The coach also mentioned that Armani Negron (2 receptions for 53 yards, 1 TD) made some big plays to keep his teammates comfortably ahead on the scoreboard, while adding, “all three players continue to be explosive in the passing game for us, and are capable of changing the outcome of games in a moment’s notice.” LEGAL NOTICE City of Everett PLANNING BOARD 484 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 Lucas Brito (2 receptions for 40 yards; 1 carry for 5 rushing yards), Elijah Lassister (1 reception for 20 yards) and Philip Pimenta (1 reception for nine yards) also contributed statistically to the Tide’s off ense against Medford. Ortiz scored Everett’s lone first half touchdown in the opening stanza, when he was on the receiving end of a 12yard scoring strike from Rodrigues. The Tide then broke the game open in the second half with four scores.Ortiz got it going again in the third quarter with a 16-yard touchdown reception. Negron began the fourth quarter by hauling in a 43-yard TD catch. Manny Santiago (18 carries for 77 yards, 1 TD) then scored a running touchdown from 12 yards out, before Rodrigues closed out the off ense by calling his own number with a 10-yard run to paydirt. The Everett boys hope to make it two in a row, when they welcome nonleague Division 1 powerhouse Xaverian to Everett Memorial Stadium tonight (Sept. 20) at 7 p.m. The Hawks won last year’s game in Westwood, 32-21. Flores is anticipating another hardfought competitive game. “Xaverian is going to be physical on both sides of the ball,” he said. “But this year is a new year, however, with two new teams, so we don’t see it as avenging a loss.” But at the start of the game, Tide quarterback Carlos Rodriguez, shown making a pass against Mansfi eld last week, went 14/22 for 222 passing yards with 3 touchdowns, 1 interception; and 6 carries for 46 yards last week against Medford.(Advocate fi le photo) the Tide will have four captains at midfi eld for the coin toss.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 20, 2024 Page 15 Everett’s Shea Willcox dazzles in his pro debut ‘Fight Night at the Vets Club 2’ results from bridgewater “Showtime” Shea Willcox couldn’t have had a better pro-debut performance. (Photo Courtesy of Emily Harney / Fightography) Special to The Advocate E verett, Mass., junior welterweight “Showtime” Shea Willcox had a dazzling pro debut in last night’s “Fight Night at the Vets Club 2” card – presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) – at the Bridgewater Veterans Club in Bridgewater, Mass. Fighting in front of a packed venue, in which the large majority of attendees were there supporting him, the 22-year-old Willcox did not disappoint: He floored Travis Crain three times, the last leading referee Jack Morrell to wave off the fight at the 43-second mark of the opening round. Willcox, who was this year’s New England Golden Gloves Champion, as well as the Most Outstanding Boxer of the championship final, displayed poise beyond his age would indicate, calmly setting up his vaunted left hook. Willcox used his left hook for the first two knockdowns, a minute into the fight and again 30-seconds later, and he closed the show with a crisp right cross for the technical knockout. “I had a lot of fans at the New England Golden Gloves, and they really turned out for my pro debut,” Shea said after the fight. They’re always there for me and I’m grateful for their support. I love it! “We had a game plan, and I knew what to do. I figured that he’s a southpaw and he’d be right Shea Willcox had his arm raised in victory by referee Jack Morrell.. (Photo Courtesy of Emily Harney / Fightography) there for my left hook. We trained nine weeks for it. My left hook, whether to the head or body, is my best punch. I saw him back up when I hit him early and knew that I had him. I’ll go right back into the gym to work on being a little more relaxed and balanced.” Friday the 13th certainly wasn’t unlucky for the popular Willcox. “I knew Shea had a big fanbase, but WOW, what a turnout,” GCP promoter Chris Traietti commented. “It was a great night of local boxing. Shea certainly didn’t disappoint with an impressive firstround stoppage. He was poised and really handled the moment well. The supporting bouts were also incredible. We had two draws and a razor-thin opening bout that ended in a unanimous deCapital Gains Tax And Irrevocable Trusts M any people question if they place real estate into a Medicaid qualifying trust what will happen upon the death of the Donor/ Settlor/Grantor some years down the road. If the irrevocable trust is drafted properly, the real estate will receive a full step-up in cost basis equal to the fair market value at the time of the Settlor’s death. Therefore, going forward, the original purchase price and improvements over the years become irrelevant. The beneficiaries of theTrust are treated as if they paid fair market value for the real estate at the time of the Settlor’s death. Why is this important? If the children/ beneficiaries were to sell the appreciated property shortly after the Settlor’s death, there would be little or no capital gains tax to pay. The capital gains tax to be paid would be based upon any further appreciation between the time of death and the subsequent sale. As an example, let’s assume the Settlor purchased his home for $500,000 with approximately $100,000 in improvements during the Settlor’s lifetime. The cost basis in the hands of the Settlor in this case would be $600,000. If the Settlor had subsequently transferred his home to an irrevocable trust, and died 10 years later when the value of the home was $1,000,000, the cost basis in the hands of the beneficiaries would be $1,000,000. If the property were sold by the beneficiaries for $1,000,000, there would be no capital gain, and hence, no capital gains tax to be paid. If, however, the Settlor had simply given the property to his children without first transferring to such an irrevocable trust or without reserving a life estate within the deed of conveyance itself, a future sale by the children for $1,000,000 would result in a capital gain of $400,000 with a corresponding federal (15%) and Massachusetts (5%) capital gains tax to be paid of $80,000. Depending cision. Nobody left the Vets Club disappointed and that is always the goal, to give the fans their money’s worth. Thank you to everyone that came out, our sponsors, the Granite Chin Staff, and most importantly…the fighters for making this night our best show at the Vets Club to date!” The other three bouts on the card were all action-packed, entertaining and competitive. Two ended in draws. Rhode Island middleweight Alfred “Keenan” Raymond (2-10-3, 0 KOs) and Daniel “The Hudson Valley Kid” Sostre (13-26-2, 5 KOs) fought to an entertaining four-round draw that could have been fought in the proverbial phone booth. Keenan won all four rounds on one of the judges’ scorecards, on the other income of the children, the federal capital gains tax rate could be as high as 20%. Furthermore, you might also get hit with the federal“net investment income tax” of 3.8%. Instead of the total rate being 20%, the children could be looking at a total rate of 28.8%, or $115,200. When you simply gift an appreciated asset outright to the children, there is what we call a “carry-over” basis in the hands of the children. That is to say, the cost basis in the hands of the Settlor becomes the cost basis in the hands of the children. No step-up in cost basis occurs. This concept of a step-up in cost basis would also apply to appreciated securities such as a brokerage account, common while Sostre took two of three and one from one of the other judges, and 36-36 on the third for a draw. Sostre nearly snapped his 17-fight losing streak. Lightweight Brandon Sandoval, fighting out of Salem, Mass., by way of Mexico, was the aggressor from the opening bout of the evening’s first fight en route to a four-round win by unanimous decision. A portion of the proceeds went to the Fire For Effect Foundation (www.ffefinc.org), which honors and empowers veterans, first responders and their families in the community. “Fight Nights at the Vets Club 2” was taped live and will be posted this week on the Bridgewater (BTV) YouTube page. stock, preferred stock, etc. Reserving the right to use, occupy and possess the real estate during the Settlor’s lifetime will result in a step-up in cost basis upon the Settlor’s death. Reserving the right to receive the income generated by the assets housed in the Trust would also result in a step-up in cost basis upon the Settlor’s death. In order to obtain the benefit of Internal Revenue Code Section 121, which allows for the $500,000 capital gains tax exclusion for a married couple when the principal residence is sold, a provision allowing for a lifetime limited power to appoint Trust principal to charities will accomplish that objective.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the percentage of times local senators voted with their party’s leadership in the 2024 session through September 13. Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 124 votes from the 2024 Senate session as the basis for this report. This includes all roll calls that were not on local issues. The votes of the 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. Fourteen (41.1 percent) of the 34 Democrats voted with Creem 100 percent of the time. Seventeen (50 percent) Democrats voted with Creem at least 90 percent of the time. Only three Democrats voted with Creem less than 90 percent of the time. The senator who voted with Creem the least percentage of times is Sen.

Maura Healey a bill that would allow the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources to establish rules and regulations for ~ Legal Notice ~ dog kennels in the Bay State, to ensure animal welfare, protect consumers and keep kennel staff safe. A person who violates the regulations would be fi ned $500 for a fi rst off ense and $1,000 for a second or subsequent off ense. Required regulations would include obtaining a license from the municipality, an annual inspection, dog to staff ratio specifi cations, injury reporting, indoor and outdoor physical facility requirements, insurance and minimal housing and care requirements. Supporters said that currently, the state has no oversight of dog daycare or boarding kennels. They argued it is estimated that a dog is injured or killed every 9 to 10 days in Massachusetts at these kennels. They noted that many families have suffered the loss or injury of an animal at a dog daycare or kennel that could have been prevented by commonsense regulations over these facilities. The bill was filed by Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford) in memory of “Ollie,” a 7-month-old labradoodle who was attacked by other dogs at a boarding kennel in East Longmeadow. Ollie needed roundthe-clock care and surgery and was in the hospital for two months before succumbing to his injuries. While the facility was shut down by town offi cials, Ollie’s owner Ann Baxter was stunned to learn that there were no state regulations regarding boarding facilities, and soon took up the fi ght to help ensure tragedies like this never happen again. “Pets are family who provide boundless love and affection that we are lucky to receive,” said Montigny. “For this reason, it is critical that we ensure all businesses entrusted with the care of our family adhere to proper health and safety protocols no matter what town they operate in across the commonwealth. Too often, we have heard devastating stories of pets like Ollie who have been injured or killed due to negligent care. These people have no place caring for such precious creatures and it’s time that we implement consistent standards across Massachusetts.” RENAME THE MASSACHUSETTS REHABILITATION COMMISSION (S 2941) – Gov.

They said the legislation also removes outdated and offensive terminology in the Massachusetts General Laws like changing “handicap” to “barrier;” “handicapped” to “person with a disability;” and “retarded,” to “person with an intellectual disability.” Supporters said the name change reflects the intention to empower individuals living with disabilities and move away from outdated terminology as the office undergoes broad changes toward a more expansive model for disability employment services and independent living. “Words matter,” said Gov. Healey. “This legislation ensures that the names and terms we use accurately reflect the strength and capabilities of the disability community, supports our goal of helping the people we serve achieve autonomy and independence and breaks down stigma.” “The new name MassAbility and language changes reflect both the state and agency’s commitment to inclusivity, because we know that words matter,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh. “MassAbility represents pride and self-determination. It’s about rights and equal access. It’s about building a future and being fully present and counted in the world.” “This historic legislation represents the state’s commitment to propelling the disability movement forward,” said MassAbility Commissioner Toni Wolf. “Language has the power to shape people and culture, tackle stigmas, biases and stereotypes. For too long, the words we’ve used have not reflected the strengths, resilience and determination of the disability community. This legislation changes that. We are changing life in Massachusetts for the better, making it more equitable, accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities.” “The new name MassAbility and language changes reflect both the state and agency’s commitment to inclusivity, because we know that words matter,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh. “MassAbility represents pride and self-determination. It’s about rights and equal access. It’s about building a future and being fully present and counted in the world.” ADD 225 LIQUOR LICENSES (H 5039) – Gov. Healey signed into law a bill adding 225 new alcohol licenses for the City of Boston over the next three years. Supporters said the licenses would be distributed across 13 Boston zip codes, expanding equity for restaurant owners in historically underrepresented parts of the city and boosting economic opportunity in communities of color that have been systemically excluded for decades. They noted that sit-down restaurants in Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, East Boston, Roslindale, West Roxbury, Hyde Park, Charlestown, Jamaica Plain and the South End now stand to benefit from the restricted licenses.

Healey a $362 million to help close out fiscal year 2024. Key provisions ratify and fund some 38 collective bargaining agreements and direct $228 million in funding for the American Rescue Plan Act Home and Community Based Services. Other provisions include $20 million to replace lost federal funding for victims of violent crimes; $29.7 million in early education and care subsidies to ensure providers can maintain access for all income-eligible families in need of childcare; $5.6 million for tax abatements for veterans, widows, blind persons and the elderly; $5.1 million to support increased demand for the Healthy Incentives Program which provides fresh healthy food options and supports local growers; and $2.1 million for Women, Infants and Children nutrition services to fully support the current caseload of recipients. “The funding included in this supplemental budget is critical, as it addresses a number of important issues affecting residents, invests in workforce development and ratifies dozens of collective bargaining agreements,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “Today’s funding will ensure that our workers get the raises they deserve, and that vital support systems across our state have the resources they need to close out the fiscal year,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “The essential funding contained in this supplemental budget will help fund important programs and approve numerous collective bargaining agreements that will help essential employees our commonwealth relies on,” said Rep.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 20, 2024 Page 19 OBITUARIES Lillian H. Johnston O f Ev - erett. B or n in Brooklyn, NY in the year of the great dust bowl and the time of Bonnie & Clyde and John Dillinger. She was the 5th of nine children, and treasured her 6 other sisters Edith, Catherine, Jeanette, Mary, Helen and Anna and her 2 brothers, Henry and William born to Henry and Edith (Jordan) Shappe. The family moved back to Charlestown, MA where Lil met and married the love of her life Robert (Red) Johnston when she was 21 years old. Lil brought 4 children Patrick, Robert, Maureen and Kathleen into this world and loved them richly and deeply until her death on September 8, 2024 at the age of 90. In 1968, Lil and Red’s home in Charlestown, MA was taken by eminent domain (it is now the site of the Sullivan Station MBTA station) and the family relocated to Everett.Growing up Lil always cared for others and this trait became a dominant factor in her life. In 1971, with all her children in school, Lil went to work for Intercity Homemakers, an agency serving families and the elderly. During her tenure at Intercity Homemakers, Lillian held ever increasing levels of responsibility; from Homemaker, Home Health Aide, Field Supervisor, Caseload Manager and finally Opening and Managing Branches in Somerville, Salem, Medford and Watertown. While working full time and raising 4 children Lil made volunteering a priority, this included serving as a Money Manager for some of Mystic Valley Elderly Services clients as: an Ombudsman in a nursing home and a waiting room hospitality hostess to families of severely ill residents. Lil “encouraged” her husband and children to participate when Lil‘s volunteering included, moving furniture, manning a recycling station, building gardens for JCCHA, collecting home goods, along with a host of other activities, even giving up their beds when Lil took in refugee children from Vietnam and Cambodia. One of her favorite memories was cleaning the Immaculate Conception Church’s altar with her young daughters during the years her sons were altar boys. Of all the roles she took on in her lifetime the one that fi t her like a glove and brought her the greatest joy was being a grandmother to Jordan, Annie, Steven and Daniel and a great grandmother to Calum, Liam, Emerson, Scarlet, Charlie and Jack. Lil has always been on the forefront of change from being part of the Mom’s March to Washington against the Vietnam War in the 70’s, her involvement in Everett’s fi rst recycling station in the 80’s as well as traveling with her 2 daughters to Washington for the Women’s March in the 90’s. After retiring from Intercity Lil worked and volunteered for the Council on Aging while teaching English comprehension to those who would soon gain citizenship. Throughout her working and volunteerism career Lil met wonderful people and was lucky to have impressive mentors and in turn she became a mentor to others. Lil has always felt fortunate that her volunteering brought her in contact with people who shared their stories, insights and histories, which served as great inspiration to Lil and in turn she inspired her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Cherished wife of the late Robert (Red) Johnston, Sr. Loving and proud mother and matriarch to her four children Patrick, Robert Jr, Maureen (Mo) and Kathleen and their spouses, Jayn, Elaine, Richard ( Chi Chi ) and Steve (Nuge). Treasured grandmother to Annie, Jordan and Lindsey, Steven and Samantha and Daniel. Honored great grandmother to Calum, Liam Scarlet, Emerson, Charlie and Jack. Daughter of the late Henry and Edith (Jordan). Devoted sister to Edith Small, Catherine Murray, Henry Shappe, Jeanette Griffi n, Mary Cahill, Helen Shappe, Anna Rainone and William Shappe. Dear Aunt to all her loving nieces and nephews. Lil will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure to have known her.

Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of Sept. 9-13. the House met for a total of two hours and 40 minutes and the Senate met for a total of two hours and 44 minutes. Mon.
