McCarthy announced he is seeking re-election to the Northeast Vocational School Committee and his name will appear on the ballot on November 5, 2024. Attorney McCarthy is currently practicing law with Law Offi ces in Malden. He also served as the Ward 2 City Councillor for many years. He also served as a curriculum administrator in the Malden Public Schools for many years. The twelve communities included in the Northeast School District are: Malden, Melrose, Stoneham, Wakefi eld, Winchester, Saugus, Chelsea, Reading, North Reading, Revere, Winthrop and Woburn. Attorney Robert S. McCarthy was fi rst elected to serve on the Northeast Vocational School Committee in 2012 and he has brought his legal, fi nancial and curriculum development experience to the school committee deliberations. During his tenure on the board he served as the Chairman of the School’s Budget Committee where he led the eff ort to revise the entire budget process. He advocated for budget measures that allowed for the budget to be more transparent and accountable to the cities and towns that Northeast serves. McCarthy also proposed the implementation of a detailed line-item budget format for the school. McCarthy said, “The implementation of this budget format allowed for a cost eff ective process to look at all school expenditures to mandate that the budget is fi scally sound as well as being educationally sound.” Attorney McCarthy is espe~ Political Announcement ~ Attorney Robert S. McCarthy Seeks Re-Election to The Northeast Vocational School Committee His name will appear on the ballot on November 5, 2024 Attorney Robert S.

These projects were done by the Northeast students which allowed them to gain real life experience and saved the cities and towns valuable fi nancial resources in the process.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 4, 2024 Page 3 ~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ Homecoming? Dear Editor, The season of autumn is, if you talk with most New Englanders, their favorite season. As the weather gets cooler and family fall activities commence – fairs, apple picking, corn mazes, Halloween, football – it becomes a time to be nostalgic, to reminisce on the past year and the memories created and to reminisce of being a kid, settling into your school routine, prepare for the holidays, and meeting friends to watch a football game followed by pizza and ice cream. Here in Everett, we have all spent weekends in October and November cheering on our Crimson Tide at Everett Stadium which used to be followed by going to Papa Ginos and Brigham’s. Annually, one Saturday was dedicated to bringing all of our past and current Everett community together to celebrate Everett and our beloved Crimson Tide – HOMECOMING. We can all agree that Everett had the biggest and the best homecoming celebrations in the area. It always began with a charity road race followed by a community breakfast, a massive parade from Everett High School down Broadway to Everett Stadium, and a rival Crimson Tide football game. The 50th Anniversary graduating class were honored with their own special breakfast and with a fl oat in the parade. Many of those classmates had not been back to an Everett football game since their senior year. The nostalgia of high school football, seeing their old friends and telling stories many had long forgotten added laughter and happiness to their high school memories. Former residents returned with their friends for their own annual reunions. Homecoming was a true community event, a day to come home. Fast forward since the last major homecoming event this city has seen and homecoming has now turned into a short walking parade only for high school students from Everett High School down Ferry Street with no spectators to Everett Stadium on a Friday afternoon concluding with a Friday night football game. A Friday night when everyone is tired from working all week, often forget about the game or they do not want to fi ght the traffi c to come from elsewhere to celebrate. Homecoming is no longer a community event or a celebration to come home. Homecoming was about bringing people back to Everett, about bringing the community together and about celebrating our great city. It is about creating a school year so memorable for the senior class they will tell stories about their senior year their entire life. Our students, especially our seniors, deserve a fun and memorable year both inside and outside the classroom. Homecoming was and should be a great way to involve the students, parents, and the community in memories that will last a lifetime. Let’s hope that in the future that homecoming will return to its glory days of big parades, community events, and a rival football game. Right now, homecoming is just another piece of Everett nostalgia that is reminisced over every fall.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 4, 2024 Page 9 Tide football drops second straight game to Catholic Conference foes Despite the losses, Everett is currently in the playoffs as the 15th By Joe McConnell F or the second consecutive week, the Everett High School football team (1-3) went up against non-league Division 1 Catholic Conference opponents with the same unfortunate results. The Xaverian Hawks (2-1) bested the Tide fi rst, 56-27, and last Friday night on the BC High campus in Dorchester, the host Eagles (3-0) were even more dominant to the tune of 46-7. With just four regular season games left before the playoff s, you might say the Crimson Tide are now in must-win situations. Everett coach Justin Flores also agrees with that notion. “We have to win more games to make the playoff s, and the minimum threshold for us is three wins,” he said after last week’s game against the Eagles. Flores understands that his squad has to quickly get back on track after last week’s loss to BC High if they hope to remain in playoff contention. But ironically, despite their sub-.500 record, the Tide would be in the postseason right now as the 15th seed in Division 1, according to the Oct. 1 power rankings. The second-year coach’s theory to play a stronger schedule to improve their playoff odds seems to be working out quite well. Xaverian is just ahead of the Eagles in fourth place. The Eagles are fi fth overall. The postseason includes the Top 16 clubs in each division. But to stay in the Top 16, Flores knows that his club has to start playing better in a hurry. As previously stated, he figures that they need to win at least three more games to accomplish their postseason goal. To that end, Flores said after last week’s game against BC High: “We have to execute our gameplans better, and commit less turnovers and penalties,” while adding, “no individuals stood out (in the BC High game), and as a result we rushed for only 260 yards as a team, and our tackling and pass protection needs to improve. There’s nothing to be happy about in another blowout loss.” Taunton is up next for the Tide, when they come to Everett Veterans Memorial Stadium tonight (Oct. 4) for a 7 p.m. game. The Tigers are presently 2-1 after losing to North Attleborough last week, 42-8. They won their fi rst two games of the season against longtime Big 3 rivals New Bedford (37-7) and Durfee (24-14). Following the Taunton game, the Everett boys will be on a bye week before resuming the schedule on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 19, versus host Brockton, starting at 1 p.m. The Boxers round out the Big 3, and are currently 0-3 going into their game tonight at Lawrence. They already lost to Barnstable (10-7), Franklin (35-7) and Lincoln-Sudbury (17-14). Flores expects another physical game tonight. “Taunton will be physical and tough up front, and it also has speed at the skill positions,” he said. “They also have a very good quarterback and a linebacking core that leads them.” For the record, here’s the breakdown on the Everett numbers against BC High: Quarterback Carlos Rodrigues (11-for20 passing for 62 yards with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. He carried the ball 14 times for 89 yards); Manny Santiago (10 rushes for 93 yards); Joao Barreiros (1 catch for 5 yards, and 4 rushes for 55 yards); Gidion Legall (4 receptions for 25 yards); Armani Negron (1 reception for 10 yards); and Yariel Ortiz (5 receptions for 17 yards, 1 touchdown).

Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 4, 2024 RESNEK | FROM PAGE 1 chased by his father, Andrew Philbin, Sr., the patriarch of a once proud Everett family, he decided to use his barrel of ink to vilify and ruin Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s reelection chances in the 2021 election. In order to do that, Philbin needed someone who, for a price, would become his editorial hit man – and that person, whose reputation as a scurrilous journalist proceeded him, would be Joshua Resnek. Now the editor, reporter and publisher, Resnek would take to his new position like a shark smelling blood – except Resnek’s chum was money. And according to Resnek, “Philbin just pisses money.” Resnek, who was once an owner-partner in the Independent Newspaper Group with his childhood pal Steven Quigley, was kicked out of the group after taking money from a vendor who held a contract with the City of Boston, according to depositions given by Resnek in this defamation lawsuit. Philbin found Resnek, who was, once again, unemployed after being fired by a well-known Boston public relations fi rm, to run his new venture. According to the court fi ling, Resnek and Philbin began collaborating on fabricating false articles about the mayor, repeatedly stating that DeMaria had committed numerous crimes ranging from assaulting a woman and taking bribes and kickbacks to extorting the city clerk, Sergio Cornelio, for $96,000 over the purchase and sale of property in Everett. By October 2021, DeMaria had had enough and filed a defamation lawsuit against the Philbins, Resnek, Cornelio and the newspaper company, for writing and publishing defamatory editorials and stories for over two years leading up to the 2021 election. This week, in a Joint Pretrial Memorandum fi led by the attorneys for Mayor DeMaria and the defendants, Dorchester Publications, LLC, owner Matthew Philbin, Resnek and Sergio Cornelio, the defendant’s lawyers wrote that “Mr. Resnek admits that he acted with ill will in publishing articles about Carlo DeMaria and wrote articles and editorials about him because he did not want Mr. DeMaria to win reelection as Mayor in November 2021. Mr. Resnek also admits that he wrote articles about Mr. DeMaria with reckless disregard as to whether they were factually accurate, motivated by his ill will and his desire to infl uence the election of November 2021.” The memorandum also states that the words Resnek wrote were “entirely his and he has taken responsibility for same, and will do so again at trial.” But in a ridiculous twist of desperation, the defendants’ attorney claims that Resnek’s brutal attacks over a two-year period, both personal and professional, did not establish “malice” and are “irrelevant and serves no probative value.” The attorneys then ask if Resnek’s “atomic bombs” – as the corrupt publisher called his articles in emails to Philbin – against DeMaria caused any damage to DeMaria’s reputation, and physical and psychological well-being. The attorneys cite the end result of the 2021 elections, saying that the mayor “garnered 18% more votes after the articles and editorials were written” about him and they did not have an eff ect and “were not taken seriously by members of the Everett community.” The memorandum goes on to state that the mayor’s psychological well-being was also unaff ected and that his emotional state improved when the articles were written. Talk about desperate overreach.

Contrary to the attorney’s claims of Philbin’s innocence by ignorance, hundreds of emails between Resnek and Philbin presented in numerous depositions by the defendants prove that not only did Philbin know about the articles Resnek was writing about the mayor, but also contributed and provided the fi nal approval of the editions’ content. With the trial beginning on Jan. 21 and expected to last a month, it will be interesting to see how long Philbin’s lawyers can bluff their way out of their client’s years of printing lies and fabrications in order to destroy the person they called their “enemy.” It’s all there in black and white.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 4, 2024 Page 11 Everett Crimson Tide fall sports weekly roundup By Joe McConnell G irls soccer drops two league contests The Everett High School (EHS) girls soccer team (3-6) had a rough week with a pair of 4-0 losses to Lynn Classical (Sept. 24) and Somerville (Sept. 26). Both games were played at 7-Acres. Coach Dom Persuitte says that the team played “lights out in the first half” against the Rams. The Everett girls only allowed one goal that came in the last 30 seconds on a misplay. “But in the second half, we could not click and get it together, because simple fundamentals and little mistakes kept us back,” added Persuitte. Goalie Emilia Maria-Babcock played well in net, according to the coach, but she also had help from central defensive midfielder Aldrona Flores. “(Flores) has been killing it in that role so far this season,” said the veteran Everett coach. The Highlanders then came to 7-Acres two days later to face the Tide with similar results. “It was another tough loss, but the girls nonetheless played extremely well,” said Persuitte. “Maria-Babcock, in particular, played well in net once again, turning away countless shots to keep the game close on the scoreboard.” Yelsa Garcia played well in her new role as a central attacking midfielder. She was consistently stringing passes together, according to the coach. Despite the loss, Persuitte was still pleased with the team’s performance. “Overall, it was a great team effort, and we are looking forward to playing the Highlanders again on Oct. 22 at Somerville’s Dilboy Stadium,” he added. Everett has since gone up against Medford (Oct. 1) and Malden (Oct. 3) after press deadline. Boys soccer edges Lynn Classical under the lights The Crimson Tide boys soccer team (3-1-3) had mixed results last week. They first edged Lynn Classical under the lights at Lynn’s Manning Field on Sept. 23, 3-2, before falling to host Somerville on Sept. 26, 6-1. The Everett boys scored all three goals in the first half against the Rams. Sophomore Kevin Renderos netted the first goal assisted by Lucas Rabelo. Senior Henrique Pinto also notched a goal after taking a corner kick from senior Luvens Cross country seniors Angelina Vazquez and Senior Captain David Huezo. (Advocate file photo) Hector. Senior captain Kareem Drissi closed out the first half scoring on a solo effort. “The boys did a good job holding possession and creating opportunities in the final third of the pitch throughout the first half,” said first-year coach Rodney Landaverde. “We also managed the game pretty well in the second half up until the last 20 minutes, when we began to lose the ball, and as a result Classical was able to score twice to cut our lead to one.” Everett then headed to Somerville’s Dilboy Stadium three days later. “We got off to a shaky start, and as a result we conceded two early goals,” said Landaverde. The visitors managed to get one back before halftime. Hector was credited with the score. The second half was aggressive, and it built up momentum for Landaverde’s team. “But Somerville eventually caught us flat-footed, and ended up scoring two more goals to widen the gap,” said Landaverde. “We lost our pace at that point. “Our smaller mistakes led to all of Somerville’s goals,” added Landaverde. “The final score doesn’t reflect our efforts or the way we played in this game. We learned a lot from this game, and will continue to move forward.” Goalie Douglas Landaverde manned the net in both games. He made five saves against the Rams, and six more versus Somerville. The Tide have since taken on Medford (Oct. 1) and Malden (Oct. 3) after press deadline, before going up against nonleague Lowell, the third ranked team in the state, tomorrow (Oct. 5, 10:30 a.m.) at Lowell’s Cawley Stadium. Tide boys, girls cross-country runners sweep Malden The EHS boys cross-country team defeated Malden at 7-Acres last Wednesday, Sept. 25, 24-32 to remain undefeated after three meets.They welcomed Revere to town for another league meet on Oct. 2 after press deadline. The Everett girls (1-1) also defeated Malden in a virtual shutout, 15-50. They too went up against the visiting Patriots on Oct. 2 after press deadline. Field hockey team earns split decision last week The EHS field hockey team (4-2) lost to non-league host Waltham on Sept. 25, 5-0, but it reversed that score two days later versus Revere at Revere’s Harry Della Russo Stadium, 5-0. They were then at non-league Arlington on Oct. 2, before coming home to 7-Acres the next day to face Revere again, both after press deadline. The Tide girls have three games next week, starting with non-league Greater Lowell Technical at home on Monday (Oct. 7) at 4:30 p.m. They will then head to Wakefield to face nonleague Northeast Vocational two days later, beginning at 4 p.m., and will close out the week at Pine Banks against host Malden next Friday (Oct. 11) at the same time. Golfers secure second win The Everett golfers (2-4) won their second match of the year against Lynn Classical at Gannon Country Club on Sept. 24, 2052. They then went up against Medford (Oct. 1) and Lynn English (Oct. 3) after press deadline, and have a date with Salem at Stoneham’s Oak Golf Course on Monday (Oct. 7), beginning at 4 p.m. Somerville then heads to Stoneham the next day to go up against the Tide at 4:10 p.m. to wrap up the Greater Boston League (GBL) season. Volleyball team snaps losing streak with three straight wins The EHS volleyball team (3-7) won three straight matches last week against the likes of Saugus (3-0), Medford (3-1) and Revere (3-1). The Tide began this week with a loss to host Malden, 3-1 on Monday, before taking on visiting Chelsea two days later (Oct. 2) after press deadline. They will be at Lynn Classical Monday (Oct. 7) to face the Rams, starting at 5:15 p.m., before coming home to host Lynn English two days later at 5 p.m., and non-league Lawrence Friday at 6:30 p.m.

Rebecca Edmondson Korem - Chairman Roberta Suppa - Clerk of Board of Appeals October 04, 11, 2024 happen anytime – not just during the cold months – can be a serious and even life-threatening condition. Each year, pneumonia causes a whopping 1.5 million people to visit medical emergency departments in the U.S. and causes roughly 50,000 deaths. A recent study found that the use of pneumonia vaccines is associated with a 24 percent decreased risk of death, but vaccination rates aren’t that high. Around 67 percent of adults over the age of 65 are vaccinated against pneumonia, and just 24 percent of younger people (19-64 years old) at risk for pneumonia are vaccinated. The main reasons for this are because many people are unsure whether they need the vaccine, while others aren’t even aware a vaccine exists. Types of Vaccines There are three different vaccines available, some more appropriate for certain people than others. They are the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine PPSV23 (Pneumovax23), the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine PCV15 (Vaxneuvance) and PCV20 (Prevnar 20). The numbers indicate how many strains, or serotypes, of streptococcus pneumoniae are included in the vaccine. So, which vaccine should you get? If you’ve never been vaccinated for pneumonia, the newer PCV20 is the top choice – it covers the 20 most common serotypes now. If that vaccine is not available in your area, you can get the PCV15 vaccine, followed one year later by PPSV23. If you had the earlier PCV13 (but not PCV15), or the PPSV23 at or after age 65, you’re likely eligible to get the PCV20 for increased protection. But because of the diff erent possibilities, you need to talk to your doctor or pharmacist about the most eff ective option for you. Side eff ects of these vaccines tend to be mild, but may include feeling achy and tired as well as redness, swelling and soreness where the injection was given. You’ll also be happy to know that Medicare Part B covers both single dose and two-dose pneumococcal shots, and you only need to get it once. Unlike the fl u shot, which is given annually. Most local pharmacies and community health clinics offer pneumococcal vaccines, but you may want to call ahead just to be sure. For more information, visit the CDC’s Pneumococcal Vaccination webpage at CDC. gov/vaccines/vpd/pneumo/ index.html. Other Vaccines To avoid getting pneumonia as a consequence of a viral infection, you should also consider getting a fl u shot, RSV shot and a Covid-19 booster in the fall. While vaccines cannot prevent every case of pneumonia (or other conditions they’re given for), those who get them usually have milder infections, a shorter course of illness and fewer serious complications than people who don’t get vaccinated. The flu shot and Covid booster are both covered by Medicare Part B, while the RSV vaccine (which is recommended every other year) is covered under Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plans. All three shots can also be given simultaneously. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 4, 2024 Page 15 STRONG | FROM PAGE 1 increased patrols and a presence in schools and parks to acquiring new fi rearms and working towards accreditation – at their meeting on Monday, September 23. Chief Strong was appointed and sworn in as the new Police Chief at the City Council meeting on Monday, June 10. He feels things have been going well since then. “I have a good team and command staff around me,” he said. “You don’t want to make too many changes too quickly, not that I’ve had to make many changes. The department is a well-oiled machine.” Changes that have been made might better be described as adjustments. For instance, summer directed patrols in parks and the number of School Resource Officers (SROs) has increased. “There are five SROs based at Everett High School that also visit other schools,” Strong reported. “We’ve developed a good working relationship with the School Department. They take turns and go into other schools.” Some of the SROs participated in patrolling parks over the summer. As a result, they got to know the same kids they’re seeing in the schools. “We started in the spring and continued over the summer, which is probably the reason we had a quite summer, one of the quietest summers we’ve had in a few years,” Strong explained. “We have a robust SROs program. They’re very proactive in getting to know the students. In the summer they joined direction patrols. The kids know them.” Ward 6 Councillor Peter Pietrantonio asked about parents parking near schools well before dismissal to pick up children. “I’ve gotten e-mails about this,” he said. “People don’t think people that live near schools have jobs. I know it’s tough, but is there anything that can be done?” “We try to do our best in dealing with parents,” Strong answered. “When it gets out of hand we ticket,” but he also suggested some educational outreach to the community might help. He also said traffi c enforcement has been stepped up in the last three months. A problem like too many parents waiting outside a school, a traffi c jam or accident or other non-emergency situation the police may not be aware of might be one of the things citizens can report to the police through a new e-alert system, also called See Say. “It’s another tool for people to report problems if they don’t want to call 911 or the Police Department,” Strong said. “You can text or send a photo, but you have to download an app. It goes directly to the console of the Police Department, but there’s no tracking of phones. We’ll do a push so people can sign up.” The console dispatch team is switching to a new web-based system that will facilitate multitasking. Another effort at outreach and visibility with the public is increased use of a Facebook page. “We’ll put out as much information as we can,” Strong said. Another eff ort at outreach is availability of police log information to the public. “I log in every day,” Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith said. “Parents were concerned with why police were in the parks, but I can tell them it’s what they do every day.” “I love the eff orts to achieve transparency,” Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins added. “Now people can go online and see what kind of calls the police are getting.” Strong also reported that he added fi ve offi cers to the Department’s Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team, for which the Boston police provide free training. The department received a new set of 9 mm fi rearms to replace 45 caliber fi rearms. “We had them for 10 years so it was time we got new fi rearms,” Strong said. They’re also getting new frontline vehicles and administrative cars and are switching to hybrid cars for fuel effi - ciency to increase car mileage. Strong also reported patrol officers and detectives being more proactive on cases involving scams, in one of which a veteran was recently scammed out of money, in weapons seizures and in dealing with drug cases. Activity has involved undercover stings or trips to other communities to track drug dealers. Strong is also instituting a management plan to fi ll vacancies as a result of retirements or offi cers moving out of the department. All these elements dovetail with a larger eff ort to receive accreditation from the state Police Accreditation Commission. It’s not unlike school accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges or the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. “When a police department is accredited, it means our policies and methods of how things are handled are in-line with state standards,” Strong explained. “It includes our evidence fi ling system. We want to get all our policies and procedures in one place, nice and straight so when CITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - BOARD OF APPEALS 484 BROADWAY, ROOM 24 EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS 02149 To Whom It May Concern: This notice is to inform you that a public hearing will be held on Monday October 21, 2024 at 6:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room.

Reason for Denial: Permit was denied in accordance with the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance as follows: The existing structure is a non-conforming structure in that it does not have the proper front yard or side yard. Section 3 General Requirements paragraph C which states the following: Existing non-conforming structure or uses may be extended or altered, provided that such extension, alteration or change of use shall be permitted only upon the grant of a Special Permit by the zoning board of appeals after a public hearing and a finding by the board that such extension, alteration or change of use shall not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing non-conforming use or structure.

A benefi t is more practical risk management, which reduces liability claims and it improves the delivery of law enforcement services to the community.” The Police Department has 119 offi cers, which will be increased to 123 shortly. Many people feel they need a new station. “You are due for a new building,” Pietrantonio said. “The current building scares me.” “If it happens it happens, but I don’t think the station is that bad and some improvements have been made,” Strong feels. “It depends on the City’s priority list.” He feels the same way about having a new satellite station, possibly being shared with the Fire Department, near the casino.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the number of times each representative sided with Gov. Maura Healey on her 20 vetoes of state budget items in the 2024 legislative session. A two-thirds vote is required to override a gubernatorial veto. In a full 160-member House, the governor needs the support of 54 representatives to sustain a veto when all 160 representatives vote—and fewer votes when some members are absent or a seat is vacant. Healey fell far short of that goal as 25 votes was the most support she received on any veto. The House easily overrode all 20 vetoes. No Democrats voted with Healey to sustain any vetoes. All 133 voted to override all the vetoes. Of the 25 Republican members, only two voted with Healey 100 percent of the time to sustain the vetoes: Reps. Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick) and Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica). The two GOP members who supported Healey the least number of times were Reps. David Vieira (R-Falmouth) and Kelly Pease (R-Westfi eld) who each voted with Healey BEACON | SEE PAGE 17 CITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - BOARD OF APPEALS 484 BROADWAY, ROOM 24 EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS 02149 To Whom It May Concern: This notice is to inform you that a public hearing will be held on Monday October 21, 2024 at 6:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room.

EVERETT HOUSING AUTHORITY GROUNDSKEEPER/CUSTODIAN Everett Housing Authority seeks qualified applicants with a minimum of two years of custodian and groundskeeping experience for this full-time position. The wage rate for this position is $31.96/hr., with an excellent benefits package. Applicants must have a valid Massachusetts driver’s license and access to reliable transportation. Non Massachusetts Real Estate O ur state legislature, on September 19, 2024, amended Mass General Laws, Chapter 65C, Section 2A, thereby clearly excluding non-Massachusetts real estate from the gross taxable estate for purposes of preparing a Massachusetts estate tax return for a Massachusetts resident. Up until this point in time, many practitioners were uncertain as to whether or not the value of the non-Massachusetts real estate should be included as part of the gross estate on a Massachusetts estate tax return while at the same time reducing the value entirely by an off setting deduction by including a memorandum stating that none of the value of such real estate should be included as part of the gross estate. This is consistent with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court case Dassori v. Commissioner of Revenue, wherein the court ruled that real estate outside of Massachusetts cannot be subject to the Massachusetts estate tax on the grounds that this would simply be unconstitutional. Some practitioners were excluding the value of the non-Massachusetts real estate from the Massachusetts estate tax return altogether. Others were including the full value of the non-Massachusetts real estate on the Massachusetts estate tax return and then backing out the estate tax attributable to the non-Massachusetts real estate. They followed the instructions issued by the Mass Department of Revenue which would put taxpayers in a position where the non-Massachusetts real estate had to be included as part of the gross estate thereby, in many cases, bringing the value of the gross taxable estate over $2million, requiring the fi ling of a Massachusetts estate tax return. Massachusetts, as of January 1, 2023, increased the estate tax exemption to $2million. Only estates valued over $2million now need to fi le an estate tax return. As an example, if you are a Masachusetts resident with stocks, bonds and real estate located in Massachusetts with a total value of $1,900,000, and you also have real estate in New Hampshire with a value of $1million, for a total gross estate of $2.9million, a Massachusetts estate tax return will not have to be fi led upon your death as the New Hampshire real estate is simply not subject to the Massachusetts estate tax. This is welcomed news to all Massachusetts residents with non-Massachusetts real estate. We finally have the clarity that we all were looking for. The selected candidate must pass a physical and criminal records check. Resumes with cover letters may be submitted to Stephen Kergo Executive Director, Everett Housing Authority, 393 Ferry St., Everett, MA 02149 or SKergo.eha@comcast.net. Position is open until filled.

The number in parentheses represents the actual number of times the representative supported Healey. Rep. Joseph McGonagle 0 percent (0) ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL USE INTEREST FROM STATE’S “RAIN DAY FUND” TO LEVERAGE FEDERAL FUNDS (S 2954) – Gov. Maura Healey signed into law legislation that would leverage the interest from the state’s Rainy Day Fund to better compete for federal dollars, to ensure the state receives the maximum possible share of federal funds and to pay down the state’s long term debt liabilities. The Rainy Day Fund currently has a historic balance of $8.2 billion. Supporters said the bill would require the state comptroller to transfer interest from the Rainy Day Fund to the Commonwealth Federal Matching and Debt Reduction Fund on a quarterly basis if the Rainy Day balance contains a healthy amount of money. The Secretary of Administration and Finance would then pursue federal funds for infrastructure, resiliency and economic development. “From day one of our administration, we’ve been committed to competing aggressively to win more federal investments in Massachusetts,” said Gov. Healey. “We know that every federal dollar we pull in is vital to repairing our bridges and roads, improving transportation infrastructure in all parts of the state, leading the clean energy revolution, and supporting our workforce at every step. With this legislation, we will be able to provide unprecedented tools for our communities to seek the federal support they need.” “We are constantly competing with 49 other states for our share of limited federal dollars,” said Rep. Matt Muratore (R-Plymouth). “Leveraging the interest on our Rainy Day Fund will give us a significant advantage by better positioning Massachusetts to successfully secure much-needed federal dollars that will help pay for a wide range of infrastructure projects.” “This legislation puts Massachusetts in a position to take full advantage of federal grant opportunities to ensure we don’t leave a single dollar on the table,” said Sen. John Cronin (D-Fitchburg). “This bill will help our commonwealth partner with the federal government to meet our challenges and build for the future.” “Remaining competitive, BEACON | SEE PAGE 18
Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 4, 2024 BEACON | FROM PAGE 17 equitable and affordable as a commonwealth means thinking creatively about our state’s fi nances and seizing opportunities,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “We have been fiscally prudent in building up the largest rainy day fund in Massachusetts’ history, and with the governor’s signature, our communities will now be able to leverage our robust interest earnings to compete for federal dollars to fund transformative projects. FOSTER HOMES AND DOGS (H 4911) – The Senate approved a House-approved bill that prohibits the Department of Children and Families (DCF) from prohibiting placement of a child in a foster home solely based on the presence of any specifi c breed of dog in the home. The bill also updates animal cruelty and abuse reporting regulation for human services employees or contractors. Supporters said that currently, DCF is allowed to prohibit placement of a child in a home with German Shepherds, Pit Bulls and Rottweilers. “This legislation will open the door for seemingly countless additional families to potentially become foster families addressing the great need for emergency, short-term and permanent supportive housing for the commonwealth’s children,” said sponsor Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham). “From my work as the co-chair of the bipartisan Protecting Animal Welfare Caucus and my own personal experience of becoming a pre-adoptive foster parent, I know the power of this legislation.” The bill needs fi nal approval in the House and Senate before it goes to Gov. Healey for her signature. $12.4 MILLION FOR ROAD SAFETY – The Healey administration announced it has awarded some $12.4 million in federal traffi c safety funds for programs to promote saf- LEGAL NOTICE - er roads in across the state. “These programs, taken together, represent a holistic approach to addressing road safety concerns,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “No one agency or approach can resolve these issues, but the combination of prevention, enforcement, education and outreach initiatives funded through these grants will ensure safer roads for all in Massachusetts.” “The initiatives funded through these grant programs will ensure that drivers in communities across the state are better informed and safer behind the wheel,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy. “These grants promote strong partnerships between nonprofi ts, community members and public safety officials. Those relationships are key to our public safety strategy.” $5 MILLION FOR FIREFIGHTER SAFETY GRANTS – The Healey administration announced that $5 million in grant are available to support the purchase of fi refi ghter turnout gear, fi re suppression equipment, and other related items by local cities and towns. “Modern firefighters do much more than fi ght fi res,” said State Fire Marshal Jon Davine. “They perform technical rescues, mitigate the release of hazardous materials and treat traumatic injuries. Many of their day-to-day activities expose them to carcinogens and other health hazards. These grants give local fi re departments the fl exibility to purchase the safety equipment that will best serve their needs, from small rural towns to large urban areas. It’s an investment in the safety of our fi refi ghters and all our communities.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “I was a little bit outraged by the fact that her opponent declared himself the winner when he knew there were ballots that had to be counted.” ---House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) commenting on a statement on primary election night on September 3 by challenger Evan MacKay declaring a 40-vote victory over incumbent Rep. Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge).

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 4, 2024 Page 23 Spotting a Great Deal in a Competitive Real Estate Market: How to Find a Good Deal in a Competitive Real Estate Market This is perhaps nothing as daunting as finding a good real estate deal in a hot and competitive market. While it may seem like finding the needle in the haystack, with the right strategies and knowledge you will be able to identify those opportunities which might pass by others. Here's how to find a good deal in a competitive real estate market. 1. Know Your Market Inside Out: First, know the local market. Get to know prices currently, time spent on market, and neighborhood trends. If you understand what a home is actually worth, you'll know when a property is priced below value and spot it immediately. 2. Take Advantage of "Days on Market": Long lasting listings may also mean that the house is a good deal. Those houses that have sat on the market unsold for months may be easier to negotiate prices with. Careful though, make sure the long listing isn't because there are huge issues with the house. 3. Consider Off-Market Deals: Off-market deals involve properties that are not on the market, yet may become available. Examples include preforeclosure property, for-sale-by-owner property, and properties via local networking. These may come through networking with other agents and industry professionals. 4. Be Ready to Move Fast: Don't be held back by a competitive market. Get pre-approved for a mortgage, and have all your financial documents in a row. This puts you in a position to strike quickly when a great deal comes your way, and gives your the leverage over the buyers. 5. Look Beyond Cosmetic Flaws: Outdated kitchens, worn carpets, and poor landscaping will turn off many buyers. However, most cosmetic issues are relatively easy and inexpensive to fix. Homes that require minor improvements usually sell for much lower prices, so these homes can be a very good opportunity for buyers willing to invest a little effort and sweat equity. 6. Focus on Location: The old adage in regard to real estate is "Location, location, location." A great property in an up-and-coming neighborhood or near schools and amenities has the potential to be a goldmine. Even if the home needs some modernizing, often the right location makes the investment worthwhile. 7. Evaluate Long-Term Potential: When hunting a good bargain, consider the long-term outlook. Will the neighborhood appreciate in the coming future? Are the infrastructural or economic aspects that will boost property prices? Purchase a house with the best long-term outlook to secure a good bargain now and for years to come. 8. Consider Fixer-Uppers: You can often pick up fixer-uppers at a discount. If you don't mind putting some time and money into renovations, the payoff can be huge. Just be sure to calculate renovation costs carefully to avoid spending too much. 9. Work with an Experienced Agent: A good real estate agent can help you identify a good deal in no time. They know the market, have 'pre-market' access to the properties, and can negotiate the best possible price on your behalf. 10. Be Flexible with Your Criteria: This means that if you can be flexible on things like square footage, the number of bedrooms, or specific amenities, you will allow yourself to consider more deals. Sometimes, compromising on a few features of the house that are really not essential can help in getting a better deal. In a competitive real estate market, being proactive, well-prepared, and open-minded is key to spotting a great deal. Stay informed, be ready to move quickly, and don't be afraid to look beyond the surface to uncover the hidden gems.
