THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 23, 2022 Page 5 City’s Cultural Council announces installation of movie theatre trellis at Wehner Park T he Everett Cultural Council is pleased to announce that the installation of a movie theatre trellis – measuring 10 feet tall – has been completed at Wehner Park. The concept for an outdoor movie theatre came to mind in 2020 as a creative response to social distancing. Thank you to the Everett Cultural Council for sponsoring the project, Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s office for their coordination, and Everett DPW for the labor and installation. Special thanks to Director of Public Grounds and Maintenance Andy Hunt for his attention to detail. The theatre at Wehner Park stretches over the path, allowing people to walk through it, giving it an additional interactive element. Flowering vines have already been planted along the posts and will grow throughout the fall. The screen is detachable, transforming the structure into a theatre for community movie nights. Residents are encouraged to use it to display their own projects.

It has also been learned that Guerline Alcy, the former City of Everett employee who recently lost in the state representative primary race, was ordered to appear after she claimed in a story published by Resnek in the Leader Herald that she was sexually harassed by the mayor while working in the Mayor’s Office for over a decade. It was reported that Alcy had since cancelled her deposition weeks ago, failing to produce documents, including communications between herself, Resnek and Philbin. It is believed that motions will be filed against the parties to produce documents as well as appear at their depositions in the near future. To bag or not to bag During ongoing depositions, Resnek was presented with texts and emails in which he details alleged payments from mayoral challenger Fred Capone’s supporters where he would be receiving cash payments to help fund the newspaper through the 2021 elecI ~ in celebration of italian Heritage month ~ Mayor announces October Senior Social n celebration of Italian Heritage Month, Mayor Carlo DeMaria and the Council on Aging (COA) are pleased to announce a very special Senior Social for Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2022, at Anthony’s Restaurant (105 Canal St. in Malden) from 11:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. The COA has chosen a delicious meal featuring antipasto salad, ravioli, chicken marsala, roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables, coffee and dessert.

Resnek even went as far as producing a plan to newspaper owner Matthew Philbin describing three donors: Mr. A, B and C, who would donate thousands of dollars to the newspaper’s production and home delivery budget. Resnek claimed he couldn’t recall who the three men were. Resnek would then describe to Philbin and email confidants the scenarios of picking up the cash, whether at a breakfast meeting outside a restaurant on Main Street or at meetings with Capone or his supporters. “I owe him my life” In the fourth deposition of the Leader Herald publisher/ reporter, Resnek discussed his “billionaire buddy” Joseph O’Donnell, a former Everett native who was responsible, according to Resnek, for getting his son into Harvard by way of an introduction by former Everett Supt. of Schools Frederick Foresteire. In one of his many emails to his good pal Russell Pergament, the newspaper publisher who brought Boston the failed Tab and Metro newspapers, Resnek was all giddy when he stated that he owed O’Donnell his life for getting his son into Harvard. In typical Resnek fashion, he tells Pergament in a May 2019 email not to “share this with anyone” – that “my billionaire buddy from Everett Joe O’Donnell – we’ve been friends for about 30 years. He got my kid into Harvard and Harvard Law School. I owe him my life – and I do some work for him.” Resnek would attest that he had “many meetings” with O’Donnell to discuss the casino license for which O’Donnell, along with his partner, Richard Fields, of Sterling Suffolk Racecourse LLC (SSR), who partnered up with Caesar’s Entertainment for the Class A gaming license. SSR would lose out to Steve Wynn and the City of Everett for the gaming license as Caesar’s was found not suitable by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission’s Investigative Enforcement Bureau (IEB) over financial stability. In a May 3, 2019, email to O’Donnell, Resnek offered his two cents about the Mass. Gaming Commission’s ruling to let Wynn Resorts hold onto their license, despite, in typical fashion, claiming without any facts that Wynn was guilty. A familiar theme for Resnek – no facts, all fiction. “What does this mean for us – for you and me?” asks Resnek. “It means my shit-ass nitwit newspaper of record with me at the helm DEFENDANTS | SEE PAGE 6 For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net
