If you’re preventing someone from getting a diploma, but they’re passing the regular curriculum, shouldn’t that be enough to graduate High School? I think it is.” “I graduated with the fi rst class that required MCAS,” Member At-Large Kristin Bairos said. “The pressure of a special test takes away from learning life skills.” Much of the discussion centered around MCAS’ cultural bias, partly because it was written in 1993. “The whole thing needs to be revamped,” Member At-Large and Vice Chairperson Samantha Hurley said. “It’s not for everyone. It was created years ago and is not for our students today.” “The test is geared to a subset of students that’s not our population,” Chairperson and Ward 3 Member Jeanne Cristiano agreed. (She was participating remotely, leaving Hurley to conduct the meeting in the High School library.) “It’s not a fair test,” Ward 1 Member Margaret Cornelio added. “It’s not designed for all demographics. If you’re foreign, you won’t know some things on the test.” She also said that as a paraprofessional in the school system she saw “the trauma it caused across all grades. Some people don’t test well and were uptight about it.” “I believe we should not have MCAS as a graduation requirement,” Ward 5 Member Marcony Almeida-Barros said. “It hasn’t been revised and doesn’t reflect Everett students. It’s not a test for English as a Learned Language students.” Councillor-at-Large Katy Rogers released a statement agreeing with the School Committee. “I’m voting yes on Question 2 because I believe it is time to end MCAS requirements entirely,” it reads. “MCAS puts immense pressure on students and teachers alike at the cost of creativity, critical thinking and a passion for learning.

Held on October 2, 2024, at Encore Boston Harbor, the symposium was sponsored and organized by the International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (iMAPS). The event showcases microelectronics and advanced packaging technical content. EHS students learned about the fi eld of microelectronics, semiconductors and packaging systems relevant to missile defense systems, autonomous vehicles and handheld electronics, including phones and video games. Students networked with leading industry and government professionals from companies such as IBM, Intel, Raytheon and Invidia. They also explored college programs, internships and degree programs in the semiconductor and microelectronic fi elds. EHS was invited to attend the conference in 2026, when it returns to Boston, and the Everett Public Schools is excited to continue working with iMAPS.

Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 11, 2024 Public Safety Alert DEA issues warning about illegal online pharmacies Fake medications can lead to serious health risks, including harmful side effects, ineffective treatment and even death. DEA is committed to working jointly with the medical community to ensure legitimate controlled substances are not being diverted for illegal use. During Operation Press Your to be legitimate, U.S.-based or FDA approved sites, but are actually working with drug traffickers to fulfill online orders with fake pills. These website operators are going to great lengths to make the websites look like legitimate online pharmacies – they offer 24hour customer service, post online reviews and safety facts and offer deep discounts to deceive customers into believing they are buying from a reputable business. Often these illegal, online websites use U.S. website addresses and professional-looking designs to appear legitimate when, in fact, they are not. These companies operate illegally, deliberately deceiving American customers into believing they are purchasing safe, regulated medications when they are actually selling fake pills made with fentanyl or methamphetamine. Luck, which was announced on Monday, September 30, 2024, DEA discovered that a U.S.-based victim had ordered what she believed to be oxycodone from an online pharmacy, only to receive a fake pill made with fentanyl. The pill looked identical to a real oxycodone, but it was not – it was made with fentanyl and filler. Days after receiving the medication, the victim passed away from acute fentanyl poisoning as a result of taking one of the pills sent to her. The DEA has identified the following fake pharmacies in a recent criminal investigation: www.Curecog.com www.Pharmacystoresonline. com www.Careonlinestore.com www.yourphamacy.online www.MD724.com www.Greenleafdispensarystore.com www.Whatishydrocodone. weebly.com www.Orderpainkillersonline.com www.USAMedstores.com If you have purchased alleged medication from any of these websites, you should immediately stop using it and contact your local DEA office or report the incident at https://apps.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/rxaor/spring/main?execution=e1s1. The only safe prescription medications are those prescribed by a licensed he U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has seen an increase in illegal online pharmacies selling and shipping counterfeit pills made with fentanyl and methamphetamine to unsuspecting customers in the United States who believe they are purchasing real pharmaceutical drugs: Oxycodone, Adderall, Xanax and other drugs from legitimate pharmacies. As Americans increasingly turn to online pharmacies to purchase necessary medications, DEA is issuing this Public Safety Alert to warn of an increase in illegal online, often foreign-based websites that are deceptively targeting American consumers. DEA has identified websites being operated in India and the Dominican Republic. Many of these sites purport T medical provider and dispensed by a trusted pharmacy. Patients should remain vigilant when purchasing medications online. DEA remains committed to the safety and health of the American people, which is why it is urging consumers to exercise extreme caution when purchasing medications online. While it can be difficult to identify an illegal online pharmacy, the following are possible red flags that a website is not a legitimate: · Sells prescription drugs without requiring a valid prescription from a healthcare provider · Offers much cheaper prices than what is typically seen in the market · Lists prices in a foreign currency · Does not contain proof of a valid pharmacy state license or DEA registration · Medicine arrives in broken or damaged packaging or in a foreign language · Medicine does not have an expiration date or is expired · Medicine looks different from what you have received in the past from your trusted pharmacist For more information on how to keep you and your loved ones safe from illegal and fake pills, visit DEA’s One Pill Can Kill resource page: https://www.dea.gov/. Visit the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s BeSafeRx campaign page: https://www.fda.gov/ for information on how to safely buy prescription medicines online and to locate a state-licensed online pharmacy.

AICPA Personal Financial Specialist Designee SUPPORT | FROM PAGE 1 comes to MCAS, quality education is restricted when standardized testing becomes the focal point in the classroom.” Passage of Question 2 will not eliminate the test, just its requirement as for graduation. “Students will still be tested,” Hurley noted, clearing up a common misconception. If passing MCAS is no longer a requirement for graduation, school systems might alter the custom of teaching to the test, at least to some degree. How much would probably vary by community and could decrease the level of MCAS results and its value as an analytical tool. The argument against passage, as written in the Information for Voters mailing on the ballot questions from the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s office, is, “It would remove our only statewide graduation standard. It’s not fair to grant diplomas to students who aren’t ready to graduate. Some districts will just adopt lower standards so students graduate even if they haven’t learned the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.” It also reads, “Massachusetts would have less rigorous graduation requirements than Mississippi and Alabama,” but does not note that Massachusetts is only one of nine states with MCAS or a similar test. That fact was mentioned by Everett resident and Malden English as a Learned Language teacher Jessica Boots in Public Comment at the outset of the meeting. “Some schools teach to the test because they want their scores to be high, but are you really teaching the whole child?” School Superintendent William Hart asked rhetorically. “What are you giving up? The argument is if it’s a useful tool to determine a person’s ability to move beyond high school. Standardized testing doesn’t necessarily measure a student’s ability to succeed, but it’s the law so we follow it.” Nevertheless, he feels “it is a good tool to measure where students are” – and without having to teach to the test “if a curriculum is strong and teaching methodology supports it, hopefully, outcomes will be strong.” Eliminating it as a graduation requirement could help Everett students. Hart said it could keep kids in school who may otherwise drop out because they don’t think they could pass the test. “The answer I don’t have is if we should replace the test,” Almeida-Barros said. ”Some sort of test will be required, but not the same test. I believe if Question 2 passes or not, we need a revamp of MCAS. It can’t continue to be the same test.” “I stand with a yes vote to get rid of it, but wonder what will take its place,” Bairos added. She also reported that the Massachusetts Association of School Committees has not taken a stance on Question 2, but is in favor of amending the test regardless of the outcome of the vote. “We need something,” Cristiano offered. “We get a lot of aid and need metrics to measure how well that money is spent.” The Committee’s discussion and vote was preceded by remarks in Public Comment by Boots, class of 2023 Everett High graduate Thalia Patino Molano and current High School senior Mayra Gutierrez. “Yes on 2 seeks to rectify savage inequity in education,” Boots said. “Academic English takes five to seven years to learn, and our students come from diverse backgrounds with different abilities one test can’t measure. It affects students of color, handicapped students and other marginalized students disproportionately.” She also feels teaching to the test is “limiting the exploration of diverse subjects that provide a well-rounded education. MCAS can be one data point. We need to come together to determine what indicates the actual way students can show their ability.” In her remarks, Ward 2 Member Joanna Garren noted that the Malden School Committee has also endorsed eliminating MCAS as a graduation requirement. Patino Molano said that despite the high MCAS score she received, “It was not worth the tears and sweat I spent to prepare for the test. Students should not just be test scores.” She also echoed sentiments that the test is culturally biased. “Meritocracy in the educational system is flawed,” she said. “The test is not made for Everett students and is unfair to children coming to this country who may have limited resources. It uses phrases only Americans would know and is not relatable to students still learning English. It would need translation and material taught for the test translated into those languages.” Guterriez expressed similar opinions in Spanish in Public Comment.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 11, 2024 Page 11 BBB Reports: False advertising and price gouging are unfair and illegal P eople often find that the cost of high-demand items skyrockets during popular events or emergencies, such as ice storms, severe cold snaps, power outages, hurricanes, floods or other types of disasters. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) often receives reports about the frequency of scams involving sought-after items, such as high prices on gas, water or hotel rooms after a natural disaster or during a popular event. Some states’ Office of the Attorney General have initiated state price-gouging laws, which automatically go into effect during a declared state of emergency to prevent businesses from over-charging customers. “Price gouging” is a term meaning when a seller spikes the prices of goods, services or commodities to a level much higher than is considered reasonable or fair and is considered exploitative, potentially to an unethical extent. The best way to avoid price gouging is to plan ahead, if possible, and have the necessary supplies you need before a disaster. BBB warns businesses to avoid the temptation to raise prices during popular events or a situation like a storm or a pandemic because it may be illegal to do so in certain states and because it erodes marketplace trust. People will remember which businesses took advantage of them. Anyone who suspects price gouging during a declared state of emergency should report it to BBB by filing a complaint, or go to https://www.bbb. org/all/bbbi/adtruth/report-a-bad-ad. Consumers can report these activities to the state Office of the Attorney General. When reporting a price gouging complaint, gather as much information as safely possible and follow these three tips: · Be as specific about the transaction as possible, including the name and address of the business, names of any employees involved and information detailing the spike in pricing. · Gather documentation supporting the price gouging (receipts, photos of products and their advertised pricing, invoices, etc.). · Compare pricing of similar products with other sellers in the area and online. It’s important to note similarities and differences between brands, size/quantity, manufacturers, model numbers and prices. · Check your state’s laws. Price gouging laws vary by state. Consumers should first check their state’s specific regulations to understand if an increase qualifies as price gouging. Some states might have specific thresholds for what constitutes illegal price hikes. · Report to federal agencies. For price gouging related to essential goods during emergencies, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or the Department of Justice (DOJ) may investigate. Provide the appropriate links. · Spread awareness. Share your experiences on social media (without violating platform terms) to raise awareness.

Page 12 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 11, 2024 Crimson Tide Weekly Sports Notebook By Joe McConnell BOYS SOCCER The Crimson Tide boys soccer team (4-2-4) had a mixed week across the board that included a win over Medford (20) on Oct. 1. But then, they battled Malden to a 1-1 stalemate two days later, before dropping a 2-0 decision to non-league Lowell last Saturday. As of Oct. 8, Everett is seeded 44th in the Division 1 power rankings out of 59 teams statewide. Those teams past the Top 32, who maintain winning records, will also make the playoffs. The Everett boys opened up the season back on Sept. 5 against host Medford, and came away with a 2-0 victory. They repeated that same script last week to begin the second half of the season at home. “We had a strong first half possessing the ball and creating scoring chances, but it was not until the second half when we were able to score,” said first-year coach Rodney Landaverde. Captain Gabriel Garcia and senior Henrique Pinto netted the goals. Sophomore Efrain Ramos assisted on Pinto’s tally, while senior Jefferson Carbello setup the first Everett marker by Garcia. Goalie Douglas Landaverde helped secure the shutout with six saves. The Golden Tornadoes then came to Everett two days later, but the home team didn’t get off to a smooth start. It was the complete opposite from the start of the Medford game. The second half also began slowly until the 25-minute mark, when the Tide increased its intensity, according to Landaverde. With seven minutes left, Luvens Hector scored Everett’s lone goal of the game. Senior defender Antony Henriquez recorded his first assist of the year on the scoring play. Despite settling for the tie, the Tide was still able to record another valuable point and avoid a loss in their continuing chase LET THE PROS HANDLE IT! ™ Say “NO” to Cleaning Out Your Gutters.

After beating Everett, the Red Raiders remained undefeated at 11-0. Newton South (8-0-2) and Concord-Carlisle (7-1) are ahead of Lowell in the Division 1 power rankings. “We were missing some key players on defense, and had to make some adjustments and rotate some players around to fill-in for them,” said Landaverde. “We conceded an early goal in the first half. We were then able to hold on to the ball better in the second half, which generated more scoring chances for us, coming up just short from finishing them off.” Lowell netted an insurance goal in the second half on a free kick. Everett junior Daniel Pinho played a lot of minutes during the game, and did very well communicating with his teammates to keep Lowell’s attack Shown back row, from left to right, are: Kayleigh McMahon, Ashley Seward, Tanessa Duvilaire, Victoria Rodrigues; Front row: Sonia Flores, Trinh Dang, Clarice Alexis, Emilly Nogueira, and Murielle Campo. Their Senior Night is Friday, October 18 around 5:30 p.m. against Lowell High School. at bay, according to Landaverde. “As a coaching staff, we were pleased on how well the boys played against a top-ranked team. This game gave us a glimpse of what we can expect come tournament time,” added the Everett coach. Senior Night scheduled for the Stadium Oct. 22 Senior Night for boys soccer has been confirmed, and it will be held on Oct. 22 before the start of the 7 p.m. Somerville game at Everett Memorial Stadium, the program’s first home venue. The pregame festivities for the seniors will commence at 6:30 p.m. “I’m looking forward to going back to where I once played as an EHS player,” said Landaverde. “I’d love to see our fans pack the place one more time to honor our seniors, because there’s no better place for the sports community to meet than Everett Memorial Stadium.” In the meantime, the Tide went up against Chelsea (Oct. 8) and Revere (Oct. 10) after press deadline. They will then be at Lynn’s Manning Field to go up against Lynn English Monday (Oct. 14) at 4 p.m., before coming home to host Lynn Classical three days later at 7-Acres, beginning at 4:15 p.m. They will close out next week against non-league host Marblehead on Saturday, Oct. 19, at 10 a.m. GIRLS SOCCER FULL SERVICE GUTTER PROTECTION – SCHEDULE YOUR FREE INSPECTION NOW! 1-888-617-2908 The Everett High School (EHS) girls soccer team (4-7) first lost to Medford last week on Oct. 1, 3-2, before escaping past Malden two days later, 1-0. Alondra Flore scored the first goal of the game against Medford on a corner kick from Sofia Arana-Quintanilla. Yelsa Garcia netted the other Everett goal on a penalty spot. “The entire team was firing on all cylinders, and from the start of the game, we were dominating, but a few little mishaps led to a few turnovers and opportunities for Medford, and they were able to take advantage of them,” said coach Dom Persuitte. Everett then played a more perfect game against Malden. “Overall, it was a great team effort,” the coach said. Garcia netted the game’s only goal assisted by goalie Emilia Maria-Babcock, who made a beautiful punt from her own 18 to set it up, according to Persuitte. “The ball bounced over the Malden defense, and Garcia was right there for the two-touch shot,” he added. Persuitte also praised Flores, who once again played lights out, and her teammate Lavina Batista Simon, who continues to bring aggressiveness to the pitch, which makes her such a strong player. The Everett girls went up against Chelsea (Oct. 8) and Revere (Oct. 10) after press deadline, before hosting Lynn English next Tuesday (Oct. 15) at 7-Acres, starting at 4:15 p.m. They will then be facing Lynn Classical at Lynn’s Manning Field two days later at the same time.

By Joe McConnell E verett High School second-year football coach Justin Flores said after the loss to host BC High two weeks ago that his team’s margin of error to make the postseason was getting smaller. At the time, the Crimson Tide (2-3) had four games left before the playoff s were scheduled to begin on Nov. 8, and his exact quote was right to the point. Flores said: “We have to win more games to make the playoff s, and the minimum threshold for us is three wins.” Now, it’s two wins after the Everett boys took their frustrations out on the Taunton Tigers last Friday night at Everett’s Veterans Memorial Stadium to the tune of 35-15. That win moved the Tide up three spots in the Division 1 power rankings from 15 to 12 in just one week, as of Oct. 8. Taunton (2-2) is right behind them in 13th place. After last Friday night’s game, Flores was more upbeat. “We put a game together where all sides of the ball played (as one),” he said. “We had zero turnovers and a big takeaway in the second half of the game. We were more fundamentally sound with our tackling and blocking.” Flores specifi cally singled out Yariel Ortiz, Carlos Rodrigues, Joao Barreiros, Mark Sylvain and Jonathan Goes for their superb performances. “Sylvain and Goes played great games for us on the defensive line. They made big plays in crucial 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.

Ortiz and Rodrigues stepped it up for us on defense, (despite) making their fi rst starts on that side of the ball. Barreiros (9 carries for 63 yards, 1 TD; 1 reception, 18 yards) was one of the leaders in total team yards on off ense.” On off ense, Rodrigues, behind center as usual, completed eight passes out of 10 attempts for 119 yards with one touchdown, and he also carried the ball 10 times for 45 yards. Ortiz, who ran back an interception for a touchdown, also did his usual good job on off ense with three receptions for 69 yards and one touchdown. Manny Santiago (16 rushes for 101 yards, 2 TDs; 3 receptions for 21 yards), Armani Negron (1 reception, 11 yards) and Kevin Diaz (1 carry, 3 yards) also fi gured into the off ensive statistics against the Tigers. There were also other aspects of this game that pleased the coach. “I was happy to see the line of scrimmage move in the right direction on both sides of the ball,” Flores said. “But we still need to work on fundamentals, and also continue to line up faster on each side of the ball with the way we operate.” There’s no football for the Crimson Tide this week. They are on a bye, giving them more time to get ready for host Brockton, another nonleague opponent, next Saturday afternoon (Oct. 19), starting at 1 p.m. “It’s a long bye week with the game being next Saturday, and so we will have a mix of our usual regular daily practices with some time off (this) weekend,” said Flores. “But we are going to still spend the same amount of time in the weight room as we typically do (each week).” As for the Boxers, Flores has a better idea on who they are after looking over several weeks of games on tape. “It’s the middle of the season, so now we can start to see the identity of many teams,” he said. “(Brockton is) big up front, and they also have speed on the perimeter. “Physically, both our teams are similar,” Flores added. The Boxers (1-3) earned their fi rst win of the season against host Lawrence last Friday night, 27-12, and they are currently seeded 15th in the Division 1 power rankings. Given all of that, Flores is certainly not taking them lightly. “We certainly don’t think this is a trap game, because we respect all of our opponents. Right now, (Brockton) has a losing record, but they also play in a tough league (Big 3). They have already lost multiple close games by three points or less, and we know they are also resilient.” Tide running back Emanuel Santiago takes the hand-off from quarterback Carlos Rodriguez during the Tide’s win over Taunton, 35-15 Friday night.(Advocate photos by Emily Harney)

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 11, 2024 Page 19 THE HOUSE AND SENATE. There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call looks at Question 1, one of the fi ve questions on the ballot that will be decided directly by the voters in November. The question asks voters if they approve of a proposed law that would allow the state auditor to audit the Legislature. The actual language of the proposal is as follows: “The department of the state auditor shall audit the accounts, programs, activities and functions directly related to the aforementioned accounts of all departments, offi ces, commissions, institutions and activities of the commonwealth, including those of districts and authorities created by the General Court and the General Court itself, and including those of the income tax division of the department of revenue, and for such purposes, the authorized offi cers and employees of the department of the state auditor shall have access to such accounts at reasonable times and the department may require the production of books, documents, vouchers and other records relating to any matter within the scope of an audit conducted under this section or section 13, except tax returns.” The long trip of this question to the ballot started in 2023 when Diana DiZoglio, the newly-elected state auditor, announced she had launched an audit of the Massachusetts Legislature—something she promised in her 2022 campaign. “As I committed, my offi ce has begun an audit of the state Legislature,” said DiZoglio. “We hope this will increase transparency, accountability and equity in an area of state government that has been completely ignored. Historically, the Legislature has been a closeddoor operation, where committee votes have been hidden from the general public and legislation has been voted on in the dark of night.” House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) responded. “That your offi ce has the legal authority to conduct an audit of the General Court is a claim entirely without legal support or precedent, as it runs contrary to multiple, explicit provisions of the Massachusetts Constitution, and is wholly unnecessary as the public currently has full and ready access to the House’s fi nancial information,” said Mariano in a letter to DiZoglio. “All of the House’s accounts are available on the Commonwealth’s Financial Records Transparency Platform (“CTHRU”) webpage, which can be viewed at www.macomptroller.org/cthru,” continued the letter. “There are no expenditures of the House that are not posted on CTHRU and available for public inspection. Additionally, the House adopts rules for each legislative session, including a rule that requires all House accounts to be independently audited on an annual basis in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to fi - nancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and that the audit report be fi led with the House Clerk for public inspection.” Enter Attorney General Andrea Campbell. In November 2023, Campbell’s offi ce stepped in, saying the auditor “does not currently have the legal authority to audit the Legislature without the Legislature’s consent.” “Massachusetts has one of the least transparent legislatures in the country, and a legislative audit would shine sunlight on an infamously opaque body,” DiZoglio told Beacon Hill Roll Call last week. “This ballot measure would simply provide parity so that the Legislature receives the same type of audit conducted of all other state entities. Our incredible bipartisan coalition of advocates and activists agree, including Progressive Massachusetts, Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts, Act on Mass, the Massachusetts Voter Table, the Massachusetts Democratic Party’s State Committee, the MassGOP, the Coalition to Reform our Legislature, the Pioneer Institute, MassFiscal Alliance, Our Revolution and more. Most recently, the Boston Globe Editorial Board endorsed a yes vote on Question 1, saying it’s ‘simply the right thing to do.’” Here are the offi cial arguments, gathered by the secretary of state, by each side of the question. IN FAVOR: Written by Neil Morrison, Committee for Transparent Democracy, 617-297-8476 www. auditthelegislature.com “A Yes Vote on Question 1 expressly authorizes the state auditor to audit the Massachusetts Legislature. The state auditor is independently elected by the people of Massachusetts to audit every state entity to help make government work better. The State Legislature is the only state entity refusing to be audited by the state auditor’s offi ce. Legislative leaders claim it is suffi cient for the Legislature to conduct audits of itself through a procured private vendor. However, the Massachusetts Legislature is continuously ranked as one of the least eff ective, least transparent legislatures in America and is one of only four legislatures that exempts itself from public records laws. Support for this initiative will help the state auditor’s offi ce shine a bright light on how taxpayer dollars are spent to help increase transparency, accountability and accessibility for the people of Massachusetts. Vote “Yes” to expressly authorize the state auditor to audit the Legislature.” BEACON | SEE PAGE 20 If We Happen To Meet By Accident ... You’ll Be Glad You Found Us!

Page 20 BEACON | FROM PAGE 19 AGAINST: Written by Jerold Duquette, Professor of Political Science, Central Connecticut State University, 860-832-2964 www. masspoliticsprofs.org “A legislative audit conducted by the state auditor, who is an executive branch offi cial, without the Legislature’s consent would violate the separation of powers and legislative supremacy described in and required by the Massachusetts Constitution. The performance audits conducted by the state auditor measure administrators’ performance in achieving the legislatively determined goals of the public policies they administer. The state auditor cannot substitute her interpretation of those goals for the Legislature’s without compromising the constitutional independence and preeminence of the Legislature. If enacted, Question 1 would make the state auditor into a political actor and a potentially infl uential participant in the legislative process, two roles that would clearly compromise the state auditor’s ability to carry out her fundamental constitutional duty to conduct credible, independent, objective and nonpartisan audits of state government departments and programs.” ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL FOSTER HOMES AND DOGS (H 4911) – The House and Senate gave fi nal approval to and sent to Gov. Maura Healey a bill that would ban 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 regulations for human services employees or contractors. Supporters said that currently Rottweilers. “Current DCF regulations for foster homes impose a blanket ban on certain breeds of dogs,” said sponsor Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham). “Instead of eliminating countless prospective families, this bill empowers DCF to undertake a holistic review of the family, child and dog to ensure appropriate placement. This bill also amends reporting laws for animal abuse, extending the timeframe in which human services employees or contractors can report animal abuse. THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 11, 2024 Lewis continued, “As co-chair of DCF is allowed to prohibit placement of a child in a home with German Shepherds, Pit Bulls and the Protecting Animal Welfare Caucus, I am proud to spearhead the passage of this bill in the House. There is an urgent need for supportive foster families in the commonwealth, and this bill will open many loving homes to adoptive and foster children.” COMMISSION TO COMBAT ANTISEMITISM – Rep. Simon Cataldo (D-Concord) and Sen. John Velis (D-Westfi eld) have been appointed by House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) and Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) to lead the state’s new Commission On Combating Antisemitism. “The work is urgent and the mission is critical,” said the pair in a joint statement. “Over the past several years, our commonwealth has earned the ignominious reputation as a hub of antisemitic activity. We have heard it through harrowing accounts from Jewish students, parents, educators and people of all backgrounds who feel it on a visceral level in our communities. And we see it in the 2023 data.” They noted that the 189 percent increase in antisemitic incidents in Massachusetts outpaced the 140 BEACON | SEE PAGE 21 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.

Often times, these “mills” charge excessive fees many times with no results. These mills will often make false statements of their ability to settle IRS debts for pennies on the dollar. They will also make the claim that there is not much time provided to the taxpayer in order to compromise the debt with the IRS. The Offer in Compromise (OIC) program is a legitimate program off ered by the IRS. A taxpayer will need to meet all of the requirements in order to be able to settle with the IRS for a reduced amount of federal income taxes owed. IRS Form 656, Off er in Compromise, needs to be completed and submitted to the IRS. In addition, Form 433A, Collection Information Statement for Individuals and Form 433-B, Collection Information for Businesses (if applicable) would also have to be submitted to the IRS. The OIC program is not an easy program to quality for. The IRS will review your income and assets in order to determine your ability to pay. If a taxpayer was unemployed with very little assets, that individual would be a good candidate to submit off er in compromise paperwork to the IRS. You can learn more about the Off er In Compromise program by visiting www.irs.gov. The IRS has an Off er In Compromise Pre-Qualifier Tool that you can use in order to determine if you might initially qualify for a reduction in your tax liability. You can also apply for a payment plan on the irs.gov website. For taxpayers that owe less than $100,000, a shortterm payment plan will provide the taxpayer with an extra 180 days to pay the tax in full. For taxpayers that owe less than $50,000, a long-term payment plan will provide the taxpayer the opportunity to make monthly payments over a period of up to 72 months. So be careful with these companies that promise you the world. I’ve seen instances where more money gets paid to these companies than gets paid to the IRS in order to reduce the amount of taxes owed.

CHURCH | FROM PAGE 7 location served as the City’s fi rst City Hall until the fi rst offi cial building was constructed in 1893 at the same location where the current City Hall now stands. The second dedication ceremony will recognize the historical signifi cance of Immaculate Conception Church, which was originally named St. Mary’s Church when it was fi rst built in 1877 as Everett’s fi rst Catholic church. Designed by architect Patrick W. Ford, the cornerstone to this Gothic Revival structure was laid in 1896, and the church was completed in 1908 and has served Everett’s ever-changing community for more than a century. These two historical buildings will become part of the Historical Commission’s self-guided walking tour. The tour seeks to highlight the importance of Everett’s history and provides the opportunity for participants to learn about historical sites through informational signs placed at each location throughout the city. The ongoing project will eventually have nearly 100 locations dedicated to a person, historic event or location of a building that is considered part of the more than 150 years of Everett’s history. All are welcome to attend the ceremonies. Light refreshments will be provided in the church hall, which abuts the chapel and is downstairs from the main church of Immaculate Conception Church, immediately following the second dedication ceremony. To learn more about the event or the walking tour, please contact the Office of the City Clerk at 617-394-2225.

They said that vandalism increased by 70 percent, harassment increased by 444 percent, the number of assaults doubled and that 127 cities and towns in Massachusetts saw at least one antisemitic incident last year. “This is not OK,” said Cataldo and Velis. “These trends must be -- and can be -- reversed through concerted action. The commission will work with great dispatch to meet our statutory charge to provide specifi c, evidence-backed guidance on how to implement the White House’s national strategy to counter antisemitism, improve awareness in schools and the workplace, address harassment and hate crimes, bolster security for places of worship and build upon existing best practices and more. They continued, ”We will approach this exercise with humility and care, recognizing that antisemitism is a fraught and complicated topic in today’s society. Our work will not, however, be compromised by those who believe the problem of antisemitism is being exaggerated -- it is not -or who feel that a singular focus on antisemitism for a commission is inappropriate. Antisemitic fear mongering, conspiracy peddling and hate have for millennia been a harbinger of wider threats to democracy and peace throughout the world. This commission will work towards stamping it out in Massachusetts.” FREE COMMUNITY COLLEGE TUITION – The state offi cially launched MassEducate which allows Massachusetts residents who do not already hold a bachelor’s degree the opportunity to attend any of the state’s 15 public community colleges and pay no tuition or fees. MassEducate builds on the fi rst successful year of the MassReconnect program which provides free community college to students 25 and older. More than 4,500 students statewide received MassReconnect grant awards in the 202324 academic year. MassEducate expands the law and off ers the free tutition to all other residents in addition to those 25 and older. Suporters noted that the Bay State now has one of the most accessible, equitable and comprehensive free community college programs in the country for full-time and part-time students, regardless of income. To be eligible for free community college, candidates must have a high school diploma or equivalent; live in Massachusetts for at least one year with an intent to stay in the state; maintain satisfactory academic progress according to the college’s requirements; and not be in default on any federal or state educational loan. For more information about fi - nancial aid opportunities and how to apply for free tutition, go to Mass.Gov/StudentAid “We knew that MassReconnect would be transformative for thousands of students, for our amazing community colleges and for our economy – and that was only the beginning,” said Gov. Healey. “This universal free community college program will continue to transform opportunities for students and strengthen our workforce. Massachusetts’ community colleges are economic drivers, helping students move ahead in their careers and meeting the needs of our employers.” “We heard from MassReconnect students that the commonwealth’s investment in them was game-changing and now we are off ering that opportunity to our full and part-time students across the commonwealth,” said Education Secretary Dr. Patrick Tutwiler. “Massachusetts’ comprehensive free community college program is a true testament to Massachusetts’ commitment to increasing access and aff ordability in higher education so students can realize their dreams.” “Universal free community col- LEGAL NOTICE - CITY OF EVERETT BOARD OF LICENSE COMMISSION 484 BROADWAY EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS 02149 PHONE: 617-944-0211 philip.antonelli@ci.everett.ma.us annette.debilio@ci.everett.ma.us 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.

Our community colleges are well-positioned to support this program, which will change the life trajectories of many students and their families.” HEALEY BLOCKS SUSPENSION OF GUN LAW CHANGES – Gov. Healey attached an emergency preamble to the bill, recently signed by the governor, that changed some of the state’s gun laws. The emergency preamble makes the law take eff ect immediately instead of on Oct. 23 as originally scheduled. The move came on the heels of the announcement of a campaign to repeal the law by gathering the 37,287 signatures required to place it on the 2026 ballot. Under the Massachusetts Constitution, if a ballot campaign collects a certain number of signatures, it can prevent the implementation of a law without an emergency preamble from taking eff ect until voters weigh in on whether to repeal it. The emergency preamble prevents suspension while still allowing the repeal campaign to take place. A group of gun owners and Second Amendment supporters formed the Civil Rights Coalition to repeal the law. The group said they are “very confi dent” about gathering enough voter signatures before an Oct. 9 deadline that marks the next hurdle en route to giving voters the fi nal say on the matter. “It’s like telling Subaru they can no longer sell a Subaru Forester, the best-selling vehicle in their lineup,” said Toby Leary, a co-owner of Cape Gun Works in Hyannis and chair of the repeal coalition. “That’s basically what the state is doing to these businesses: they’re saying you can no longer sell one of the largest and most profi table segments of your business.” “Gov. Healey is once again putting our safety first by taking meaningful steps to protect our communities from gun violence,” said Olivia Benevento, a volunteer leader with the Northeastern University Students Demand Action Chapter. “For decades, the gun lobby has gotten richer while my generation continues to pay the price.” Provisions of the new law include cracking down on untraceable “ghost guns;” banning firearms in additional public spaces like schools, polling places and government buildings; expanding the 2018 “red fl ag” law that allows school administrators and licensed health care providers to petition a court to temporarily take fi rearms away from someone deemed a threat to themselves or others; closing loopholes that allow the modifi cation of legal fi rearms into illegal automatic weapons; and providing a legacy clause so all fi rearms legally owned and registered in Massachusetts as of the eff ective date of the bill will continue to be legal and may be bought and sold within the state.

Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of Sept. 30 - October 4, the House met for a total of 17 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 39 minutes. Mon.
