Priya Tahiliani’s Communications Director David O’Conner, when the latter reminded Resnek of his “sickening work” that he was doing to Mayor Carlo DeMaria, his family and the city. In his fi fth deposition over a week ago, Resnek was questioned about an email sent by O’Connor, the former double-dipping writer for the newspaper and the school dept. when he reminded Resnek of his description of the damage he was causing the mayor, stating the holocaust he was doing to DeMaria through his stories and editorials.

But it was clear that he was proud to use the word to describe the voracity to which his lies and fabricated stories about the mayor, his administration and the city as a whole was causing. Resnek believed that the city was, thanks to the mayor, a racist and sexist stronghold by creating false narratives through former city employees who lied about allegations against the mayor. It was Resnek’s vulgar and decrepit stories that allowed the grossly unqualifi ed Supt. of Schools to fi le empty lawsuits against the mayor for racism and discrimination over security cameras that hadn’t worked in over a decade before her arrival to Everett and her ouster by the school board for not renewing her contract. In a city that is more diverse than any city in America, Resnek reaped his holocaust upon the mayor and the city for almost four dark years leading up the 2021 election. I wondered of his circus of clowns that applauded Resnek during their weekly meetings upstairs in the real estate offi ce in Everett Square before they scurried off like rats for Ratnek. Imagine the disgraceful behavior during last week’s city council meeting when a sexual assault victim was threatened by an angry speaker during the public participation session prior to the start of the meeting when he shouted at Councillor Stephanie Martins that her admitted attacker would be back in the same council chambers; RESNEK | SEE PAGE 2 City Offi ces Closed Monday, Oct. 9 in Observance of Columbus Day Trash will be delayed by one day E VERETT – City offi ces will be closed to the public on Monday, Oct. 9, as Everett observes the Columbus Day holiday.

The matter will come before the full City Council Tuesday, October 10 – delayed from the usual MonAN day meeting day due to the Columbus/Indigenous People’s Day holiday. “We prioritized projects we could do in the near term,” Conservation Agent Tom Philbin said. “We’d [like] to get the boathouse built next year. Our design is 85% done, but we need to acquire the land.” According to Philbin, the land belongs to Wynn Associates, owner of the Encore CaNGELO’S FULL SERVICE 1978-2023 Celebrating 45 Years in Business!

They bought land in the area to swap open land back to the city to compensate for land used for the casino. Not all the land is being returned, however, and there are as yet unformulated plans on how it will be used. Philbin is hopeful. “We’re in negotiations now, but they’ve allowed us to do everything we wanted on the property,” he said. That includes waterfront facilities that allow the High School rowing team to compete and practice locally for the fi rst time in years, including a ramp to launch shells completed two years ago. A boathouse would include lockers and other facilities. Philbin said the project is a priority for Mayor Carlo DeMaria, who envisions part of the area as the site of a new Everett High School. “We’d love to have a new High School there; it gives you a campus,” Philbin feels. “This could be the beginning of that.” The area would also serve as an educational tool for biology and environmental studies. Philbin called it “a perfect area.” Everett will be partnering with the Mystic Valley Regional Charter School (MVRCS) in Malden, Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston and the nonprofi t Living Root dragon boat company. RESNEK | FROM PAGE 1 a blatant threat to physical and emotional wellbeing. And shame on those city councillors that stood by and said NOTHING. The court only days later, “MVRCS currently has 295 of its 1,600 students that reside in Everett. Several years ago, we began working with Everett to discuss launching a Crew Co Op program,” MVRCS Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations Rick Veilleux wrote the Council. “During those discussions, we were informed about the plans discussed above and indicated our interest in partnering to make this happen. We began developing plans with Tom Philbin who has done a great job under the Mayor’s direction to launch a CO Op Crew Program to serve as a catalyst for opening up access to the Malden River. We believe that a new boathouse will significantly impact the future of our Crew Co Op program by providing a stateof-the-art facility complete with publicly accessible bathrooms, changing rooms, and exercise space which could also be utilized as community space when not being used by crew program and provide other residents of the city to have recreational access to the river. Tom led the way in developing and getting approvals required that led to the clearing of the site and the procurement of a dock system. For our part, we invested around $85,000 in crew equipment, coach boat launch, temporary continued without a fi nding, Councillor Jimmy Tri Le’s count of indecent assault & battery which will continue his absence from the council chambers after admitting to the charge. And in what day and age storage containers, property maintenance and coaches and look forward to continuing our partnership by providing future investments to construct a new boathouse.” “These funds are critical to ongoing eff orts to create recreational and education opportunities for the residents,” Living Root Dragon Boat President Helen Quach wrote to the Council about the appropriation request. “The funds are being requested to build a public boathouse that will benefi t generations to come, promote physical health and overall wellbeing of people who live in Everett and the surrounding communities. “In just five years, more of the waterfront has been open to the public, including a living shoreline, walking paths, a new canoe and kayak launch, a new crew dock and storage facility and wetlands that highlight historic natural features. “As a non-profit organization, Living Root Dragon Boat is one of the entities that rely on public space. With reconstruction of greenspace and waterfront access in Everett, it was possible for my team and the community to have access to paddling a dragon boat.” Mystic River Watershed Association Executive Director Patrick Herron also wrote a letter of support. would a council president or fellow female councillors sit idly by while a sickening verbal threat took place in plain sight? Inexcusable. Once again, the sad circus continues – same bad actors at the council meetings and school board meetings, ranting and raving just to hear their own voices. Cheering on a school supt. who has failed the children of Everett for years; only seeking compensation, publicity and awards for continued low test scores, discontent, and discrimination lawsuits. And like the unfortunate high school students on what she determined to be a “Homecoming” instead was an absolute embarrassment as hundreds of high school students marched in the pouring rain at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon to the stadium for a 7:00 pm football game. Everett’s schools are no longer Everett’s pride – not in a long time and that’s a terrible shame.

Call Dennis at (857) 249-7882 for details. dent was tabled after a series of parliamentary questions, partly based on the lack of a dollar fi gure, that necessitated a visit from City Clerk Sergio Cornelio at the School Committee meeting Monday, October 2. “It tends to be one of our roles,” he said. The question was to “ratify the selection of the Alma Advisory Group, based in Chicago, chosen as the consultant as part of the Requests for Proposals process to assist both the Superintendent Screening Committee, as well as the School Committee in the process of searching and screening candidates for Superintendent.” It did not formally include the $85,600 Ward 4 member and Committee Chairman Michael Mangan said it would cost. After approval by a 5-3 margin with Marcony Almeida-Barros (Ward 5), Jeanne Cristiano (Ward 3) and Member at-Large Samantha Lambert dissenting, Lambert asked if the question required a twothirds majority to pass and asked for a legal opinion on the matter. Amid some rancor between Mangan and Lambert, Cristiano added that appropriations require a two-thirds majority to pass. “Where is the transparency in this?” she asked. This prompted Mangan to request an opinion from the city clerk. Cornelio told the members an appropriation of new funds raised from tax dollars requires two-thirds approval by present members, but a transfer of funds within a budget requires only a simple majority. “City Counsel KP Law indicated we thought we needed two-thirds more than we did,” he reported. Calling $85,600 “a significant sum,” he said the fi gure should be included in any question “because the public has a right to know the dollar amount.” He also pointed out the matter required reconsideration because a vote had already been taken. “That would be the cleanest way,” he advised. Almeida-Barros pointed out that a call for reconsideration had failed just a few minutes before, with himself, Cristiano and Lambert in the minority, as they were in the initial vote to appoint Alma, but Mangan asked the members to “reconsider in order to do it properly,” which passed 8-0. This turn of events was set in motion by an agenda item sponsored by Lambert asking for an update on the Superintendent Screening Committee, the process used to pick its members and the fi - nal hiring process. She feels the Screening Committee and consultant were selected without suffi cient involvement by the Committee as a whole, but by Mangan, more or less on his own. “We didn’t have the language of an RFP and never chose a designee to select a consultant,” she said. “A call was put out, but there was a feeling you had to be connected to an individual to be selected. This community is too diverse and broad to not be inclusive.” She also accused Mangan of continuing “to take all this on yourself and acting as if you are the body.” He answered it was diffi cult to choose one applicant over others when they all might be qualified, but he achieved what he wanted in having more women than men on the Screening Committee and it includes current and former educators. He added that he feels that he has a good working understanding of the school system, but admitted, “In hindsight I wish I could have handled it diff erently.” QUESTIONS | SEE PAGE 6
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 6, 2023 ~ Political Announcement ~ Page 5 Cynthia Sarnie Announces Her Re-Election for School Committee-At-Large M y name is Cynthia Sarnie and I am asking for one of your 3 votes on Nov 7th for School Committee At Large. I am running for School Committee at Large, because I want to make a real diff erence in the lives of our students and the future of our schools. I have served for the city government for over 15 years. I care about the city including our children and residents of our community. I would like to take a moment to share a bit more about myself. I believe that my experiences, my dedication, and my passion make me a strong candidate for this important role. I lost both my parents by the age of 16. When I was a junior in high school my teachers and guidance counselors helped me through the toughest years of my life. This experience has helped me recognize the importance of teachers and the education community. I have witnessed the incredible potential that our school holds. I have seen the amazing talent and creativity of our students and the hard work and RESNEK | FROM PAGE 2 coming on a Saturday with marching bands, local youth organizations, and students representing their schools as they walked with pride on Broadway to the stadium. I guess she believes her circus of n’er do wells will keep up the harassment at the school board meetings will work in her best interests. I highly doubt that – the parents, and the students are catching on – she’s just too arrogant to nodedication of our teachers and staff. I am a firm believer in open communication and collaboration. If elected, I promise to be a voice for all students and teachers and a bridge between our school’s administration and its students. I will actively seek out your ideas, concerns, and feedback to ensure that our school committee decisions truly refl ect the desires of our community. I envision a future where every child, regardless of their background has access to a high-quality education that equips them with the skills and knowledge and confi dence to pursue their dreams. I believe in fostering an environment where teachers are supported and empowered to excel in their vital roles. I am committed to ensuring that our schools are safe. If elected to the school committee, my vision for our school is simple yet powerful. I envision a school where every student feels valued, empowered, and motivated to achieve their full potential. To turn this vision into reality, I propose the following: Enhanced Communicatice while her circus runs interference. And just like Resnek and Everett Leader Herald owners Matthew and Andrew Philbin, who unleashed their holocaust without remorse on the city for years, the clowns disrupt, intimidate, and spew lies and hate whether in person or on social media. Words do come back to haunt; just ask Resnek and Philbin. They declared war on the mayor, his family, and the people of Everett years ago – an inclusive and diverse environment where every student feels respected and heard, regardless of their background, ethnicity, or beliefs. Together, we can create a brighter, more inclusive, and more exciting future for our . Lawrence A. Simeone Jr. Attorney-at-Law Cynthia Sarnie announces reelection tion: I will work to improve communication between students, teachers, parents, and the school committee. We can achieve this through regular open forums, suggestion boxes, and online platforms that facilitate dialogue and transparency. Student Welfare and Mental Health: I will advocate for increased support for students’ mental health and well-being. Our mental health is just as important as our academic success, and I want to ensure that resources are available for those who need them. Diversity and Inclusivity: I am committed to fostering all for their own interests – and they lost. It’s only a matter of time before Tahiliani takes her circus back over the bridge – except the clowns will most likely be left standing abandoned at the Boston/Everett line.

Page 6 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 6, 2023 QUESTIONS | FROM PAGE 4 Lambert chided back, “Of course you’d have more applicants than seats.” She also said that even though there was only one applicant, they should have been vetted according to a scoring rubric. “Just because we only had one applicant, it’s not automatic,” she feels. “The consultant will be paid from a budget line item we didn’t vote on,” Almeida-Barros added. “It was your sole decision. You’re asking us to ratify something, but the group has already been hired.” Mangan answered that he appointed four people to evaluate Alma, and “based on what they saw, they thought it was a good fi t. They work with many urban districts, especially urban districts. I believe Alma gets us and the challenges of an urban district. That was what was appealing to me.” In Public Comment at the outset of the meeting, Robin Babcock asked why a fi rm outside the state was chosen and said Alma favors privatization of education. Lambert echoed these comments, saying, “Alma is affi liated with groups interested in privatization and private money determining what is happening in public schools.” “Consulting fi rms from Massachusetts didn’t want to be part of this,” Almeida-Barros added. “If no consulting fi rm from Massachusetts applied, is there a reason for that?” Mangan answered that being from Massachusetts or another state was and should not be a qualifying or disqualifying factor. He suggested members research Alma on their own. Outlining the search and screening process, he said the Search/Screening Committee will meet every two weeks, with their next meeting scheduled for Wednesday, October 11. Meetings will be held in executive session to protect the privacy of applicants. Alma will be winnowing down the usually large fi rst-round pool of applicants before the screening aspect takes over. In the meantime, a list of stakeholders and interested parties in the city will be determined and there will be a schedule of forums at various schools to hear concerns. The Screening Committee will submit a list of fi nalists to the School Committee, who will interview them in public sessions to determine who will be the next superintendent in late November or December. The election in November will determine new School Committee members who will take offi ce in 2024. Mangan said any members-elect will be able to participate in various steps, but the fi nal decision will be made by the current School Committee. Cristiano called this an overly aggressive and ambitious timeline. “To think of having a new Superintendent by December – I’m not comfortable with that,” she said. She doesn’t feel this process should be happening at all. “I can’t say enough wonderful things about her,” she said of Supt. Priya Tahiliani, whose contract was not renewed by the board. This echoed earlier Public Comments by teachers and administrators. Director of Instruction Anne Auger said Tahiliani empowers teachers, including having them on hiring and review committees, and the School Committee is disregarding how hiring a new Superintendent will affect teachers. Teacher Shane McNally was quite blunt in his vitriol. “End this fiasco and let the new School Committee decide on the Superintendent’s contract,” he said. “You are implicated in an unethical racist campaign to remove the Superintendent. None of your history absolves you of that. The next generation of leaders are everything you’re not. Your actions reek of white privilege.” Once again, the supporters of Tahiliani ran the race card, mirroring her empty lawsuits she fi led based on false claims against the mayor; and again, when her contract was not renewed. According to sources, Tahiliani’s lawyers have yet to move forward in either of her lawsuits – possibly relating to the August announcement by the state U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce of its offi cially dropping its year-long inquiry – absolving the city of any racism, sexism, discrimination or sexual harassment. Tahiliani, who left the Boston School District for her current position after fi ling a lawsuit against the City of Boston, was picked for the job thanks to the eff orts of former school board member and search committee chairman Thomas Abruzzese, who picked Tahiliani to lead the school district despite instead of more qualifi ed candidates. The highest degree she attained was a Master of Liberal Arts in Creative Writing and Literature. According to the resume she fi led for the position, she was still earning her Master’s in Education degree with Pheonix University online. (Editor’s Note: James Mitchell contributed to this story.)
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 6, 2023 Page 7 Sen. DiDomenico and colleagues approve bill to provide free ID cards to people experiencing homelessness bill seeks to enable access to basic services by removing fi nancial and documentation barriers T he Massachusetts Senate unanimously passed An Act to provide identifi cation to youth and adults experiencing homelessness, to establish a process allowing an adult or youth experiencing homelessness to apply for a free Massachusetts identification card. Identification cards enable access to basic services in the Commonwealth that are often unreachable for those without identifi cation. “I am proud to support this bill because it provides crucial support to people experiencing incredibly challenging circumstances and it will work to address our housing crisis,” said Senator Sal DiDomenico, who is Assistant Majority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate. “All Massachusetts residents deserve access to food, healthcare, and housing, and providing proper identification will take a step toward expanding that right to every person. I want to thank Senate President Spilka, Senator Robyn Kennedy, and all my colleagues for fi ghting for people experiencing homelessness, and I hope to see this bill signed into law soon.” People experiencing homelessness currently face prohibitive fees and documentation requirements that can be barriers to acquiring identifi cation. This legislation removes those barriers by eliminating fees and only requiring that applicants present documentation showing that they Sal DiDomenico State Senator are currently receiving services provided by the Commonwealth, a homeless services provider or another service provider. Having a state identifi cation is a prerequisite for accessing many basic services, including applying for a job, enrolling in school, interacting with law enforcement, accessing government buildings and opening bank accounts. The struggles of homelessness are compounded by an inability to access these basic services, and often contribute to a cycle of poverty. This is the fourth consecutive session during which the Senate has adopted similar legislation. In July 2023 the Massachusetts House of Representatives referred the bill to its Committee on Ways and Means.

This month’s program was titled “Journeys in Recovery: Rebuilding Lives One Step at a Time.” In commemoration of National Recovery Month, City employees were pleased to be joined by community members Eliot Community Human Services Recovery Coach Dennis Doris, Eric Mazzeo, Jessica Nadeau and Everett Overcoming Addiction Founder Patti Scalesse, as well as the City of Everett’s Addiction Recovery Resource Specialist, Paul Guarino, and Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator Chris Simonelli to speak and participate in a discussion panel. All of the speakers have been affected in some way by substance abuse disorder and work to help others who are currently affected by it. The participants in the discussion panel shared their stories, the work that they are doing in the community, and different ways we can change our culture to be more inclusive to those who are suffering from substance use disorder. City employees were pleased to be joined by community members and other employees who shared their stories and ways to change the culture to be more inclusive to those who are suffering from substance abuse disorder.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 6, 2023 Page 11 McGonagle, Education Committee visit Everett early education centers I n late September, State Representative Joe McGonagle welcomed State Representative Denise Garlick, who is House Chair of the Massachusetts Legislature’s Joint Committee on Education, and her staff to visit two early education centers in Everett. The visit was part of the Education Committee’s effort to understand the needs of early education centers across the Commonwealth post-pandemic. The group began the visit at Children’s Playhouse Daycare, a family owned and operated business that takes children from four weeks old through kindergarten. They then followed that by meeting with ABCD Head Start in Everett, one of several Head Start programs across Boston, Malden, Medford and Everett. ABCD Head Start is a nonprofit organization aiming to give quality early education to low-income families. Each visit was comprised of a tour of the facilities and in-depth discussions with program leaders about the goals, struggles and needs of early education centers. “To say I was impressed by both centers is certainly an understatement,” said McGonagle. “I was truly blown away by the quality of care that exists in our own community. The settings for each were slightly different yet they both maintain the mission of the providing the best possible education and care to every child that walks through their doors. They are also committed to the wellbeing of their teachers and staff which is vital. This does not go without its’ struggles though as we discussed raising costs of providing such quality care and staff retention.” “Rep. Joe McGonagle’s leadership has been integral to the Education Committee,” said Representative Garlick. “In our visit he showed us … the importance of accessible, affordable, and quality early education in the Everett community. Our visits to Children’s Playhouse and ABCD Head Start will inform us as we continue our focus on early education and care in the Legislature.” “I’m so thankful to these centers for welcoming us in and being gracious hosts who answered all our questions,” said McGonagle. “I’m also grateful to my friend and colleague Chairwoman Denise Garlick who is working hard to better understand the educational needs across the Commonwealth. I also want to thank Senator Sal DiDomenico and Rep. Judith Garcia for joining us.” The Education Committee, which McGonagle serves on, also visited early childcare centers in Malden and Lowell and will be conducting several more visits around the Commonwealth to different demographic and geographic areas.

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 6, 2023 Tide football’s no-quit attitude propels them to dramatic late comeback win over perennial powerhouse Looking to make it four straight, Everett gets ready to take on the host Revere Patriots tonight By Joe McConnell T hese are seminal games that usually define a season. Last Friday night at Everett Stadium, the Everett Crimson Tide football team staged a late game comeback to upend perennial power BC High, 35-34 to run its record to 3-1 overall. The Eagles also have a 3-1 record, and are ranked eighth in Division 1, according to the Oct. 3 MIAA (Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association) power rankings, while the Tide is 20th overall. The Top 16 teams with at least three wins automatically make the playoffs. There are still four more regular season games left on the schedule, before the playoffs begin on Nov. 3. The Everett boys scored 14 fourth quarter points, while limiting the visitors to just six points to erase the deficit in dramatic fashion. BC High led at halftime, 14-8, and 28-21 after three quarters. Christian Zamor (2 receptions for 45 yards and 1 TD; 6 rushes for 24 yards and 1 TD) scored the first touchdown in the fourth quarter from four yards out. Quarterback Carlos Rodrigues (11/23 in the air Tide QB Carlos Rodrigues with the quarterback keeper for Everett. (Advocate photos by Emily Harney) for 162 yards and 1 TD) then hooked up with Jaysaun Coggins (3 receptions for 10 yards and 1 TD) for a three-yard aerial strike to account for the winning score. First-year Everett coach Jason Flores was not surprised by the comeback. “The team has fought through adversity in multiple games this year, so I know they are always going to fight to the end,” he said. “I personally think the second half of our first game (against non-league Xaverian) set the tone for our season. It showed us who we really are and who we can be. We just need to show more consistency, and start faster in all phases of the game, so we don’t fall behind (they were held scoreless in the first quarter against BC High).” Jayden Prophete (7 receptions for 148 yards; 1/1 in completed passes for 41 yards, 1 TD), Damien Lackland (18 rushes for 133 yards and 2 TDs, one each in the second and third quarters) and Rodrigues were standouts on offense against BC High, according to Flores. Zamor was on the receiving end of Prophete’s 41 yard pass that resulted in six more Everett points in the third quarter. “The entire offensive line also had an amazing game (against BC High), and have had a great season so far as a unit,” added Flores. “They have not allowed any sacks to date, which gives our quarterback the necessary time on play action passes to get the ball downfield.” Flores singled out the conEverett’s Domenic Papa rushes the BC High quarterback during Everett’s win Friday night. tributions of Aidan Duclos, Shane MacKenzie and Matt LaMonica on defense for doing a great job in shutting down BC High’s run game, which was the team’s No. 1 goal going into it. But the confidence is brewing in the Everett offense that has helped the team to three straight wins. “As long as we have the ball, we feel like we have a chance to score,” said Flores. “We stalled out on the second to the last drive of the game against BC High, but we were moving the ball the entire second half, so we still had plenty of confidence in what we could do (to eventually get that game-winning score).” The Tide now looks to make it four in a row, when they head to Revere tonight (Oct. 6, 6 p.m.) to take on the Patriots. Here’s Flores’ assessment of the Patriots: “On offense, they run a variety of formations, and get the ball to different players on the perimeter. On defense, they play a 4-3 that looks to stop the run before anything else.” The Tide will continue to approach every game as if it was the playoffs. “Our preparation will never change, and the same goes for our mindset week in and week out,” said Flores.

Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 6, 2023 GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE ROUNDUP: Everett is now the lone Division 1 GBL Football Team after realignment New this year, Malden drops from D-1 fi rst time ever, now in Division 3 with Revere, Lynn Classical, Lynn English By Steve Freker E verett has stood alone quite a bit in the Greater Boston League for most of the past three decades — and the modern era in general – when it comes to success on the gridiron. The Crimson Tide won a whopping 13 Division 1 Super Bowl State Championships under former Head Coach John DiBiaso Jr. from 1993-2017. The only other GBL teams to win a Super Bowl title in the past 50 years were Head Coach Silvio Cella and the Revere High Patriots in 1973 and Head Coach Armand Caraviello and the Medford High Mustangs in 1978. Everett has also had a monopoly on the GBL Football Championship for the past three decades, winning every one except two from 1993-2023. Cambridge upset Everett on Thanksgiving Day in 2002, clinching that year’s GBL title. Malden, under then Head Coach Joe Pappagallo, upset Everett on October 24, 2015, and won the GBL crown after clinching it with a win over Medford. All in all, alone at the top has been a frequent perch for the Everett High football team. Well, now they are definitely alone at the top in the Greater Boston League for another reason.

Last year, two of the eight GBL teams competed in the Eastern Mass. highest division, Everett and Malden. Not coincidentally, Everett and Malden are two of the winningest teams in the history of MIAA football, going back to the early 1900s. In fact, Everett is number 10 in THE NATION at 844-378 overall (since 1893). Malden dropped down two divisions to Division 3 for the fi rst time in its history for some basic reasons, according to Director of Athletics Charlie Conefrey. “One of the main reasons is that we are now aligned with schools in our own league of similar size and similar participation numbers in the sport,” said Conefrey, who also sits on the Board of Directors for the MIAA. With the shift to Division 3, Mike Sanristil is serving as captain for the Michigan Wolverines in his fi fth year of football in Ann Arbor. He is considered the best player to ever wear a Malden Pop Warner Football uniform who played high school football at Everett High. (Courtesy/Michigan Football) Malden is now in the same spot as Lynn Classical, Lynn English, Somerville and Revere. Medford dropped down to Division 4 this year and Chelsea moved up one division to Division 7. Size-wise, Everett has the largest enrollment in the GBL, followed by Revere, Lynn English, Malden, Somerville, Medford, Chelsea and Lynn Classical. Conefrey stressed the alignments were for playoff games and postseason considerations only, and would aff ect nothing as to GBL league play. The only GBL team that does not play a full league slate is Chelsea, which is allowed to pick the teams it wishes to play from the GBL – this year selecting Medford and Somerville only. “We are hoping to qualify for the postseason for the fi rst time since 2015 this year and then compete for the title in our new division,” Conefrey said. Revere High Boys Soccer Team just one game out of first-place in GBL standings; Everett boys close to top as well Revere High Boys Soccer is just one game and three goals out of fi rst place in the Greater Boston League race. Somerville sits atop the list at 5-11 in league play, while Revere is right behind at 5-2-1 in the league. Everett is the only team to have beaten Somerville this season – 2-1 in the season opener. Revere, which tied Somerville, 1-1, in their only meeting on Tuesday this week, put the Patriots right in the mix for the GBL crown. Everett, at 4-3-1 GBL, is right there for the league top spot as well. Everett has a split with Somerville, and a big one on its list is a home game with Revere on Thursday, October 12 at 4:15 p.m. Revere has a game to make up with Somerville before the season ends, a game which very well could decide this year’s GBL Boys Soccer Championship. All four top GBLers – Somerville, Revere, Medford (4-3-1 GBL also) and Everett – appear to be headed to postseason play at this point. Stay tuned.

Page 20 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 6, 2023 Say nr Sa a Tide fi eld hockey challenges Melrose with an all-out effort, only to lose by two late goals By Joe McConnell O n Monday, Sept. 25, the Everett High School fi eld hockey team (1-8) took on Melrose in what was one of their best games of the year, according to first-year Tide coach Sabrina Wright. The Tide came up just short, 5-3. “This was probably one of my favorite games to watch,” Wright said. “It was raining, but the team played hard throughout. At halftime, Melrose was up 1-0. They then led, 3-1 after three quarters. Jonathan Scoletti, the birthday boy, scored our goal to keep us in the game. His goal fired up the team like I’ve never seen them before. “Right out of the gate in the fourth quarter, Malaica Guillume and Cephans Orleus scored goals to tie up the game. But Melrose came back to score the next two to regain the lead,” added Wright. “We continued to fi ght hard to tie it back up, but the clock ran out on us.” Scoletti was the team’s MVP against the Red Raiders. “He kept his stick down, and as a result he continuously came up with the ball against Melrose,” said Wright. Two days later, the Tide took on Wakefi eld, and lost, 7-0. “After Monday’s game, we took two steps back against a team that beat us the fi rst time we played them, 6-0,” said Wright. “The team that showed up to this game was a different team than the one that played on Monday against Melrose. I always tell the team that I don’t care if we lose as long as we lose fi ghting to the end. But if we lose because we gave up or didn’t try, then you let the entire team down.” But individually, there were still some standouts against the Warriors. Senior Emma Longmore was the game MVP. “It was great watching her play in this game, because she did all the fundamental little things that allows teams to control a game,” said Wright. Last Friday, the Tide was in Peabody, where they were shutout by the host Tanners, 3-0, and their new head coach and Wright’s former mentor Jillian Tobin. Wright played for her, when she suited up for the Prime club fi eld hockey squad. The Tide then went up against Revere on Oct. 4 after press deadline, and won’t play again until Wednesday, Oct. 11, against host Malden at Pine Banks, starting at 4 p.m. Tide girls’ soccer drops two to Lynn Classical, Somerville to dip below .500 By Joe McConnell A fter evening their record at three apiece, the Everett High School girls’ soccer team (3-5) lost to Lynn Classical to begin a brand-new week on Sept. 26, 4-1. Despite the loss, coach Dom Persuitte had called it “an excellent outing.” Layla Cardona scored the lone goal for the Tide assisted by Yelsa Garcia. It was a rocket shot over the Classical’s keeper’s head from about 20 yards out. Emilia Maria-Babcock also stood out in this game. “(Maria-Babcock) has just excelled in her new role as a center-back, and her tireless eff orts in this game against the Rams kept their attack at bay,” said PerGBL| FROM PAGE 18 to Everett High immediately after his junior year football season at Malden High. Following is an excerpt from a writeup in Sports Illustrated on Sanristil’s decision to return to Ann Arbor before the season. “The opportunity to spend another year in Ann Arbor, to continue his education at a world-class university, to continue building on the bonds he’s created with his teamsuitte. Alondra Flores and Gleidy Tejada also played well on defense. “Gleidy controlled the left side of the defense with her physicality, while Alondra controlled the midfield with her foot skills,” added the Everett coach. The Everett girls were then blanked by Somerville two days later, 9-0. “The fi nal score was not an accurate depiction of this game at all,” said Persuitte. “Laura Sanchez faced over 20 shots in goal during the game, and single-handedly kept the score as low as she could.” The Everett coach also referenced that over half of Somerville’s goals were arguably off - mates and his coaches, and ultimately the opportunity to win a national championship - all compelling reasons for a return to Michigan. “From wide receiver to defensive back, Michigan’s Mike Sainristil has certainly made his mark on the football program in Ann Arbor.

She also played a small portion of her time in net, when Laura (Sanchez) got hurt.” The Tide had games against Revere and Malden this week after press deadline. They will then be at Chelsea Stadium to face the Red Devils on Tuesday (Oct. 10) at 4:15 p.m., before heading to Revere for a night game against the Patriots on Thursday, Oct. 12, starting at 7 p.m. “After much thought and careful consideration, Sainristil chose Michigan once again.” “Year after year, Ann Arbor is always ranked top-three as a college town,” Sainrstil said in a recent interview. “The people here are great, you walk around and everyone is nice to you. Ann Arbor is home to me. “I love my teammates, coach Harbaugh - my football Dad - was giving me the opportunity to leave, I said, ‘no dad, I want to stay home.’” y Senior Seni by Jim Miller Three Vaccines Seniors Should Consider Getting This Fall Dear Savvy Senior, Which vaccines are recommended for Medicare seniors this fl u season? Just Turned 65 Dear Just Turned, There are actually three different types of vaccines seniors should consider getting this fall to protect against a repeat of last winter’s “tripledemic” of respiratory illnesses, which included fl u, RSV and coronavirus. Here’s a rundown of the diff erent vaccines the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending and how they are covered by Medicare. Senior-Specific Flu Shots For people age 65 and older, there are three fl u vaccines (you only need one) that the CDC recommends over traditional fl u shots. These FDA-approved vaccines provide extra protection beyond what a standard fl u shot does, which is important for older adults who have weaker immune defenses and have a greater risk of developing dangerous fl u complications compared with younger, healthy adults. The three senior-specific options include the: Fluzone High-Dose Quadrivalent vaccine, which contains four times the amount of antigen as a regular fl u shot does, creating a stronger immune response for better protection. Fluad Quadrivalent vaccine, which contains an added ingredient called adjuvant MF59 that also helps create a stronger immune response. FluBlok Quadrivalent vaccine, is a recombinant protein (eggfree) fl u vaccine that contains three times the amount of antigen as compared with a regular fl u shot. There isn’t enough evidence yet to indicate whether one of these three vaccines provides superior protection over the other two for seniors. As for side eff ects, you should know that the Fluzone HighDose and Fluad vaccines can cause more of the mild side effects that can occur with a standard-dose fl u shot, like pain or tenderness where you got the shot, muscle aches, headache or fatigue. While the side eff ects of Flublok tend to be a little less frequent. All flu vaccines are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B as long as your doctor, health clinic or pharmacy agrees not to charge you more than Medicare pays. New RSV Vaccines Anyone age 60 and older, especially if you have any heart or lung conditions, diabetes, kidney or liver disorders that make you vulnerable to the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) should consider getting one of the new FDA approved RSV vaccines (either Arexvy or Abrysvo). These vaccines, recommended by the CDC, will help protect older and immunocompromised adults from respiratory illness, which is responsible for 6,000 to 10,000 deaths and at least 60,000 hospitalizations each year in seniors 65 and older. The new RSV vaccines are covered by Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plans. Updated Covid Booster If you haven’t had a Covid-19 booster shot lately, you should consider getting one this fall. Even though the Covid public health emergency has ended and the number of cases has gone way down, it has been surging in recent months causing an increase in hospitalizations, especially among the elderly. The updated Covid vaccine targets the XBB omicron subvariants that are some of the most dominate coronavirus variants circulating in the U.S. It will also provide protection against the EG.5 variant (Eris), which is closely related to the XBB. Covid booster shots are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B. When and Where Most health officials agree that it’s safe to receive the fl u and Covid booster at the same time. But because the RSV vaccines are new this year, many doctors are recommending a two-week window between an RSV shot and the fl u and/or the COVID shots. You can fi nd all three vaccines at most pharmacies, medical clinics and health departments, or you can do a search at Vaccines.gov. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 6, 2023 Page 21 Out of State Property and the Mass Estate Tax M assachusetts General Laws Chapter 65C, Section 1(f) specifi cally exempts from the Massachusetts estate tax tangible personal property and real estate located outside of Massachusetts. The Commonwealth of Mass directs taxpayers to calculate the federal gross estate for estate tax purposes and then provides for a reduction of out of state tangible personal property and out of state real estate. Under the current proposed tax relief package that is now on Governor Healey’s desk (that she has until October 8, 2023 to sign), the estate tax exemption will be increased to $2,000,000. If a taxpayer dies with a $2,000,000 taxable estate, the $2,000,000 is reduced by $60,000 in order to arrive at the adjusted taxable estate, or $1,940,000. The Table B Computation of Maximum Credit for State Death Taxes results in a credit of $99,600. This table is utilized by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to determine the estate tax due when someone dies in Massachusetts. Under the old federal estate tax law, the IRS allowed a credit for state death taxes on the federal estate tax return. The federal government no longer allows for this tax credit. Massachusetts, however, actually uses that table to determine the Massachusetts estate tax due. The Massachusetts estate tax return actually piggy backs the prior Federal estate tax return based upon the 1999 Revision date. We, as preparers, have to prepare the current Massachusetts estate tax return and the federal estate tax return, Form 706, as it existed back in 1999. The good news is that an estate of $2.5million would only result in $44,000 in Massachusetts estate taxes. Compare this with the current es~ Home of the Week ~ tate tax provision in Massachusetts which would result in an estate tax of $143,600. Quite a big diff erence. This is due to the $99,600 credit against the Massachusetts estate tax based upon the fi rst $2million of the gross estate being exempt from the estate tax. Only the estate value over $2million is actually subject to tax. The Dassori v. Commissioner of Revenue 2016 decision involved a case of fi rst impression. The probate court judge decided the case against the Commonwealth of Massachusetts holding that a real estate investment in Paris, France was not subject to the Massachusetts estate tax. The real estate in question was held in a vehicle similar to a nominee realty trust utilized by real estate attorneys in Massachusetts. The Commonwealth tried to argue that the real estate investment was intangible personal property due to the nature of the taxpayer’s interest in the entity that actually held title to the real estate. The probate judge considered the investment to be real estate based upon Massachusetts law and, as such, the real estate could not be subject to estate tax by Massachusetts. Otherwise, that would represent a due process violation under the 14th amendment to the Constitution. Joseph D. Cataldo is an estate planning/elder law attorney, Certifi ed Public Accountant, Certifi ed Financial Planner, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a masters degree in taxation.

LEGISLATURE APPROVES TAX RELIEF Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen PACKAGE (H 4104) House 155-1, Senate 38-1, approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey the conference committee version of a tax relief package. It was drafted as a compromise to the different versions approved by the House and Senate. Supporters say this will provide $561.3 million in tax relief in fiscal year 2024 and $1.02 billion per year in subsequent years. Provisions include increasing the rental deduction cap from $3,000 to $4,000; reducing the estate tax for all taxpayers and eliminating the tax for all estates under $2 million by allowing a uniform credit of $99,600; increasing the refundable tax credit for a dependent child, disabled adult or senior from $180 to $310 per dependent in taxable year 2023, and then to $440 in subsequent years while eliminating the child/dependent cap; doubling the refundable senior circuit breaker tax credit from $1,200 to $2,400; increasing the refundable Earned Income Tax CredCITY 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 there will be a Special Metting held on Monday, October 23, 2023 at 5:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room.

This bill includes a historic expansion of housing programs that will ignite affordable housing development and ease the housing crunch, as well as significant relief for families with young children. It will also make Massachusetts a more competitive place to live and work and encourages businesses to continue investing in our region.” “This tax relief package strikes the critically important balance of providing permanent financial relief to residents and businesses across Massachusetts, without compromising the long-term financial security of the commonwealth,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “I’m confident that this tax reform legislation will help to make Massachusetts more affordable for all residents, while also helping to make the commonwealth more competitive with other states.” “Back in April, I stood at the rostrum for about 13 minutes and expressed a mix of support for the many elements of this bill that will help working families and people experiencing poverty — while at the same time criticizing the elements of this bill that will benefit large corporations and the super-rich,” said Rep. Mike Connolly (D-Cambridge), the only House member to vote against the package. “From my vantage point, this bill was significantly improved through the conference committee process, and there are several elements of the bill I enthusiastically support,” continued Connolly. “And yet, as I stand here today, I still cannot bring myself to support the total price tag of $1.1 billion once fully implemented. Not after we just spent a decade working to pass the Fair Share Amendment to gain desperately needed new revenue … A lot more needs to be done, including bigger public investments in programs, services and infrastructure — investments that could be significantly constrained by the overall cost of today’s tax cut bill.” The measure also includes two provisions which the Mass Fiscal Alliance says will result in tax hikes. One would require Massachusetts married couples who file income tax returns jointly at the federal level to do the same at the state level. The other changes the system under Chapter 62F that requires that annual tax revenue above a certain amount collected by the state go back to the taxpayers. Under current law, the money is returned to taxpayers based on what he or she earned and paid in taxes.The new tax package changed that and provides that each taxpayer will receive a flat rate refund, unrelatedto what they earned or paid in taxes. “Never before have so many waited so long for so little,” said Paul Craney, a spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance.“Leave it up to two career politicians to not only deliver a two-year late tax relief package while almost every other state saw immediate relief but include tax hikes in their relief package. The speaker and Senate president’s proposal includes a marriage penalty, applying the new income surtax to married couples who have a combined income of over a million dollars.” Craney further explained that changing how Chapter 62F surplus money is distributed to taxpayers actually hijacks the system and turns it into a socialist wealth redistribution scheme.

Republicans supported rule suspension while Democrats opposed it. Supporters of rule suspension said Senate rules allow only a Yes or No vote on the tax package. They argued there are some flaws in the bill and that rule suspension is the only way to allow amendments to be proposed. Opponents of rule suspension said that suspending the rule would result in hundreds of amendments being proposed to the package and lead to starting tax relief debate all over again.

Other provisions index the minimum wage to inflation beginning in January 2028; increase the minimum wage for tipped workers from $6.75 to $12 by 2027 and then set it at 60 percent of the full minimum wage in future years. “Increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour has had a tremendously positive impact on hundreds of thousands of working individuals and families in the commonwealth who have seen their take-home pay increase and improve their standard of living,” said Senate sponsor Sen.

ALLOW CITIES AND TOWNS TO IMPOSE A NEW 2 PERCENT ALCOHOL TAX (S 1773) – The Revenue Committee held a hearing on a bill that would allow cities and towns to impose a local sales tax of up to two percent on alcoholic beverages sold at retail, bars or at restaurants. Municipalities that choose to impose the local tax would be required to use the revenue generated for substance abuse prevention andfor protecting the public health. “There is tremendous unmet need for substance use disorder treatment in every community in Massachusetts,” said Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “This bill would enable interested cities and towns to expand their addiction and public health programming to meet that need.” $4 MILLION FOR SECURITY AT FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS - The Healey administration announced that more than $4 million in federal funds have been awarded to address priority security needs at faith-based and community service organizations at heightened risk of a hate crime or terror attack in the Bay State. “Communities rely on nonprofit and faith-based organizations for essential social services, spiritual support and guidance,” said Gov. Healey. “Our administration is deeply committed to ensuring these vital organizations have the tools and resources needed to create safe, inclusive and protected environments. These federal funds provide critical support to our nonprofit and faith communities while strengthening Massachusetts’ ability to uphold our values and celebrate our diversity.” $5.2 MILLION FOR RECYCLING, COMPOSTING AND WASTE REDUCTION - The Healey Administration announced nearly $5.2 million in grant funding to 283 municipalities to bolster their recycling, composting and waste reduction programs. “Residents partner with their communities to help protect the environment by recycling and reusing as much as possible,” said Lt.

We need policies that get the lead out of faucets and fountains in our schools and pre-schools.” --- Deirdre Cummings, MASSPIRG legislative director state urging lawmakers to pass a bill to get the lead out of drinking water at Massachusetts schools and childcare centers. “I was proud to file and testify in support of … [a bill] preventing false confessions, a necessary piece of legislation to prevent law enforcement from knowingly or recklessly engaging in deception in order to coerce a confession. Significant research demonstrates that deception can cause suspects to waive their rights and make false confessions. This leads to wrongful convictions and the incarceration of innocent persons, the denial of justice to victims and ongoing risks to public safety. It is time to end a practice that undermines the effectiveness of our criminal justice system.” ---Sponsor Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose) testifying before the Judiciary Committee on legislation that would prevent false confessions in Massachusetts by ending the use of deceptive interrogation tactics.
