He estimated $140 million to build it new. “You can occupy it tomorrow,” Tedesco said. “How much [renovation] you wish you do is up to you.” Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky asked if it’s possible to do one or two fl oors and the remainder at a later date.

Page 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 14, 2022 For the Sober Shuttle, Inc., it’s all about Appreciation! Special to Th e Advocate I n August 2022, the Sober Shuttle introduced their “Program of Appreciation” that recognizes the eff orts of Massachusetts Police Offi cers, Firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians. The Everett Fire Department on Broadway in Everett was the fi rst recipient of a Dunkin’ Box 5.25 O’ Joe and a dozen donuts. In September the Sober Shuttle improved this event by teaming up with The Well Coff ee House located at 983 Broadway in Everett in a unique appreciative partnership. On September 3 the “Shuttleians” accompanied by the Wellers visited the Malden Police Headquarters on Eastern Avenue and presented the Police Department with a Certifi cate of Appreciation. This certifi cate indicates that Wednesday, September 14 would be the Malden Police Department Day of Appreciation at The Well Coff ee House. This event allowed all Malden Police Department employees the opportunity to stop by The Well Coff ee House between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to enjoy a complimentary coff ee and specialty pastry. On October 7, Sober Shuttle members James A. Booker, Linda A. Booker and Joanie Thomas visited the Everett Police Department on Elm Street in Everett and presented Sergeant Kenneth Kelley with a Certifi cate of Appreciation and announced on behalf of The Well Coff ee House that Wednesday, October 15 will be the Everett Police Department Day of Appreciation. All employees with the Everett Police Department will have the opportunity to try a specialty coff ee and pastry as a gesture to say thank you for your service and strength throughout Everett. In addition to these monthly awards, the Sober Shuttle also announced their Letter Sober Shuttle members James Booker, Linda Booker and Joanie Thomas visited the Everett Police Department on Elm Street and presented Sgt.

On any given day in any given city or town, a Sober Shuttle member could present a First Responder with a thank you letter, a Sober Shuttle Brochure, Business Card and a $10.00 Dunkin’ Gift Card. Recently, the Sober Shuttle recognized a Stoneham Police Offi cer, a Quincy EMT and an Everett Police Offi cer with this award. However, it seems a common trait that Police Offi cers refuse the gift card and keep the literature. The Sober Shuttle then forwards the Dunkin’ Card to a homeless person. The Sober Shuttle, Inc. is proud to partner with The Well Coffee House in these local presentations and events. Although it would not be possible for coff ee and pastries to be delivered to distant cities and towns, the Sober Shuttle will continue to honor our distant People of Service with Dunkin’ Joe and a dozen donuts. So keep your eyes on your door! It may just be a group of “Shuttleians” coming to say thank you and to present your department with a Day of Appreciation at The Well Coff ee House, or a Box of Joe and a dozen donuts! Many thanks to all our First Responders across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts!

Page 4 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 14, 2022 THE SOUNDS OF EVERETT Time to shutdown Resnek and Marchese’s circus W ell folks, it looks as though #TeamCapone has morphed into #TeamResnek – or maybe it has always been #TeamResnek – as we watch the team of snowflakes waste everyone’s time at the City Council and School Committee meetings: empty heads echoing nonsense. It’s actually a laugh riot to watch Councillor Mike Marchese having to hold his nose as he stands firm with the local criminal element that went from holding signs for former mayoral candidate Fred Capone to ranting and raving against Mayor Carlo DeMaria. Pathetic – but that’s the Marchese way: hide in plain sight and mail anonymous letters with your attorney brother’s money. But #TeamResnek is still whistling past the graveyard pretending to be a newspaper publisher despite admitting in depositions that he lied, fabricated and made up stories against the mayor and other city officials under the direction of his boss, Matt Philbin. And speaking of the Philbins, they’re all hiding from the subpoenas served by the mayor’s attorneys because they’ll have to tell the truth. They should dub themselves #TeamRatnek after Josh Resnek’s lifelong nickname – when he was writing fiction in Chelsea and was a political loser as he is in Everett. Back to Mike, he’s now running against his old friend, Representative Joseph McGonagle, for the state representative seat, running Resnek-style ads in the Fishwrap, hoping that no one bothers to ask him about his once popular bar, McDonald’s Cafe on Ferry Street, when in 2003 the state police and DEA arrested eight people, including an auxiliary police officer, on drug charges. According to the Feb. 1, 2003, Boston Globe article, the bar was targeted because neighbors complained about “open drug transactions” going on for years – all while Mike was an alderman in the city. After the state shut down Marchese’s neighborhood hell hole, he went into hiding by taking a “no show” job with the Hanlon administration until the coast was clear – most likely at his real home in Florida. But fast forward to 2022 and Mike is riding #TeamResnek with the rest of the reprobates, including one Chris Lind (Billerica House of Corrections #088228), who’s doing time for felonies which may or may not include kidnapping, firearms violations, harassment, and assault with a dangerous weapon. Under the Everett Reporter Facebook page (see inset), Raymond is asking all #TeamCapone “people” to write his pal Lind as he passes time in the slammer. Truly a #TeamResnek team player. Sadly, this is what Everett has become – a traveling circus sideshow with Philbin as the ringmaster and Resnek as the clown – and Marchese is the bear riding the bicycle: a spectacle to behold. And shame on Marchese for letting Ratnek and Philbin falsely paint the city racist – all in the name of “get the mayor” at any costs. This isn’t the real Everett, folks, and despite their lunatic ravings and fake news, it never will be. It’s time to remove these scurrilous political bozos once and for all – so let’s start with Marchese in November. Good riddance to the Marchese and Ratnek circus act. —JDM The Foundation Trust Challenge Match to Support Bread of Life’s Backpack Nutrition Program O ctober 10, 2022-The Foundation Trust is offering a challenge match to help support the expansion of Bread of Life’s Backpack Nutrition Program. The Foundation Trust will match up to $10,000 of funds raised for the program in 2022. The Foundation Trust is the leading sponsor of Bread of Life’s Backpack Nutrition Program, which provides snacks and nutritious food for schoolage students in Everett, MA. The Challenge Match from the Foundation Trust will match 50% of every one-time contribution to the program in 2022, up to $5,000. In addition, the Foundation Trust will offer a 100% match of every recurring donation received during the year, up to a combined match of $10,000. These funds will enable Bread of Life’s Backpack Nutrition Program to grow to serve more students in need. Interested community members can learn more and donate by visiting: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E333299&id=41 To address a growing need for nutritious food for schoolage students, Bread of Life distributes backpacks filled with food to Everett students on a regular basis each month. Bread of Life works with school principals and guidance counselors who identify students struggling with poverty and food insecurity and distribute the backpacks. Backpack Items include snacks, juice boxes, crackers, peanut butter, cereal, milk boxes, noodle bowls, and other non-perishable food items. Bread of Life also provides blankets, gloves, hats, socks, hand warmers, towels, toothbrushes and other supplies as needed. With the support of the Foundation Trust, over 5,000 backpacks have been distributed to Everett students to date. “It’s disturbing to think about the financial strain some parents are under week after week to pay bills and make sure their kids are fed; the nutrition backpacks put good nutrition into the hands of the kids at school and help the rest of the family at home,” said Gabriella Snyder Stelmack, Bread of Life Executive Director. “We are extremely grateful that The Foundation Trust is providing the challenge grant to grow this program.” Dr. Joseph Spinazzola, Foundation Trust Executive Director noted that “we started this partnership with Bread of Life before the pandemic started, and unfortunately the need for the backpacks has grown considerably since that time. Bread of Life has risen to the challenge, and we are honored to be a small part of their About Bread of Life Bread of Life Bread of Life is a free food program based in Malden, MA, that serves the communities north of Boston with evening meals four nights a week, two food pantries, grocery delivery to senior citizens, food delivery to homeless families sheltered in local motels and a Backpack Nutrition Program for Everett students. www.breadoflifemalden.org About The Foundation Trust The Foundation Trust is a private operating foundation that partners with small to medium-sized New England nonprofits on new programming to better serve high-risk populations and elevate underrepresented communities.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 14, 2022 Page 5 RENOVATION | FROM PAGE 1 possible to phase the repairs. A few years ago, the city originally bought it for $10 million from the Catholic Archdiocese, with plans to make it aff ordable housing for veterans and seniors, according to Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “We, as a body, want to do what’s right for this community,” Matewsky said to much applause. “I like the phase idea that [Tedesco] brought up.” Matewsky added the whole neighborhood wants a school there and that they’re used to it. He said the best thing the city did was buy the school. Councillor-at-Large Michael Marchese, who is against modulars, was also in favor of keeping it a school. “It’s on a bus line, structurally sound and a good location,” Marchese said. “It’s been approved to be a school.” Tedesco said the plan is to renovate the school, anticipating it to last 50 to 60 years. Currently, it’s not considered a Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) project; it would have to be locally funded. Supt. of Schools Priya Tahiliani said it’s absolutely worth that investment. Her $30 to $40 million estimate was only trade costs; it didn’t include HVAC upgrades. DeMaria, who fi rst saw the presentation on Tuesday night, said, “It’s a lot of money for a temporary fi x.” of the most elite schools have modulars, and they are not construction trailers,” DeMaria said. “You can make it as beautiful as ever, adding new classrooms.” Andrew Barr, CEO of Rousseau Bar Associates, Inc., representing the school administration, said the mechanical systems, including the boiler, would need to be upgraded. “You could make it safe by Mayor Carlo DeMaria, who first saw the presentation during Tuesday’s City Council meeting at City Hall, said, “It’s a lot of money for a temporary fi x.” (Advocate photos by Tara Vocino) “We’re still waiting for the MSBA decision [for a new high school], which could be approved in December or February,” DeMaria said. Ward 3 Councillor Darren Costa said we’re going from kids in the library with a temporary partition, not a stateof-the-art building. Councillor-at-Large Richard Dell Isola said it’s either going to go all in, not just a 10year term. Tedesco estimated an eightmonth design phase, roughly two to three years before the building is occupied. DeMaria said modulars, which are attached to buildings, are still an option. “Some doing some of that,” Barr said. “The fifth floor [where the nuns lived] would require a fair amount of renovation.” Barr said it’s a great building. He added that the windows and roof need replacing. Ward 6 Councillor Alfred Lattanzi said the fi rst fl oor of Pope John is beautiful; however, there is rusty water on the other fl oors. “You don’t know what you’re going to fi nd behind those walls,” Lattanzi said. Tahiliani said they’ll have to look at modulars to alleviate overcrowding at the high school. Pope John would solve overcrowding within the middle school population. “Pope John would solve about 70 to 80 percent of the problem,” Tahiliani said during a presentation before the council. “I do not support modulars.” She said modulars would equal space; however, Pope John would equal opportunity. “There’s no price for Pope John to make me believe that it’s not a good investment,” Tahiliani said. She said modulars result in health concerns, a lack of security and a lack of sustainability. Tahiliani said Pope John could open in 14 months, if approved. Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins, who supports modulars while working on renovations, asked if the old high school on Broadway could be torn down and rebuilt. Martins said she had attended a school that had modulars. DeMaria, who advocated for a vocational school, said it would also have to be renovated as there’s a preschool there currently. “We’re going to go with Frank’s assessment, if we go with it,” DeMaria said. “I appreciate Barr’s assessment. I’ll go with the will of this council – whatever you’d like to do.” He said the overcrowding isn’t specifi c to the city, adding that it’s happening in surrounding communities. Smith requested to send it to the Mayor’s Offi ce and the school administration before the next council meeting in the coming weeks.

The White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health and the federal government’s expanded support are great steps toward addressing food and nutrition insecurity in Massachusetts and across the United States.” “This was the first White House Conference on hunger to be held since I joined The Greater Boston Food Bank 27 years ago, not to mention the first in 50 years,” said D’Amato. “After all this time, it was deeply rewarding to see the issue of hunger elevated to the national spotlight. We applaud the Biden Administration and the bipartisan coalition that made the conference possible. We look forward to continuing to engage with others in the hunger, nutrition, and health community around the resulting national hunger strategy in support of our mission, to end hunger here.” The underpinning theme and goal of the conference was to elevate the voices of individuals with lived food insecurity experience. In valuing the importance of continued engagement with neighbors most directly impacted, Donnette McManus, a client advocate at GBFB’s partner agency Catholic Charities in Brockton, was invited to be one of the leading voices on the panel. “Food is part of the cycle that fuels everything we do,” said McManus. “The Greater Boston Food Bank, its partners, and the front-line food pantry workers and volunteers give my family the fuel we need to not only consume nutritious foods, but also the desire to serve so that our legacy will be an example of breaking the DISCUSSION | SEE PAGE 9 Pictured with State Senator Sal DiDomenico are Massachusetts Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders, State Representative Andy Vargas, Stop & Shop President Gordon Reid, client advocate Donnette McManus, Roxbury Community College (RCC) Interim President Dr. Jackie Jenkins-Scott, RCC Director of Project Access Lisa Carter and GBFB President/CEO Catherine D’Amato.

CATALDO, CPA, CFP, MST, ESQUIRE. AICPA Personal Financial Specialist Designee Monogram D4 Double siding Cedar impression half rounds ~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ Hypocrite Samantha Lambert Dear Editor, I watched the latest joint meeting of the Everett City Council and School Committee on Tuesday, October 4, and was struck by what I consider the hypocrisy of School Committee member Samantha Lambert, who asserted that she is interested primarily in school overcrowding and student safety. This is the same school committee member whose landlord, a well-known former chairman of the committee, has at least three grandchildren enrolled in the Everett public schools who do NOT reside in Everett. To quote her, “I have heard a number of times about students who don’t live in Everett and encourage anybody who knows somebody, please call me. I have not received a call yet.” As for safety, I would point out that the son of Ms. Lambert’s landlord is a teacher in the public schools who has apparently had some problems with the law, if reports in our local newspapers are to be believed. This landlord’s son’s actions were investigated by the law fi rm of Cliff ord and Kennedy at the behest of the school committee, which recommended that the son’s school-issued computer be turned over to the Middlesex County District Attorney, and that he be suspended without pay from his teaching job. Instead, this teacher collected full pay for a year while at home on suspension. That situation seemed to have clear safety implications, did it not? If Ms. Lambert and her school committee colleagues did anything about that situation, they should tell the public what they did. And if they did nothing about it, they should tell the public why.

The program, which was put together by retired educator and Gold Star Mother Cindy Tatum, shares an established curriculum designed to teach the next generation about the value of their freedom. In the past few months, with consistent updates based on American holidays and other important events, this program has become wildly popular with proDISCUSSION | FROM PAGE 6 chain of food insecurities in our community and beyond.” The power of collaboration was also a theme during the conversation, and it was repeatedly stated that government cannot do it all – they will need bipartisan and private partnerships to achieve their goals. Senator DiDomenico has been a longtime ally of GBFB, successfully working with the organization and community organizations to secure anti-hunger funding. Some of his legislative endeavors secured this year are universal free fessional educators and homeschoolers. Last month alone, this program received over 2,000 individual downloads. The program, which consists of stories of courage and character, regularly introduces new educational materials – most recently you can fi nd lesson plans specifi cally related to Veterans’ Day – further focusing on character development and service projects for young people of all ages. This program is FREE to download from www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/teach and is also available to all educators and homeschoolers on Teachers Pay Teachers. The program school meals throughout Massachusetts, increased funding for the Massachusetts Emergency Food Assistance Program, creating a common application to increase access to SNAP benefi ts, and increased cash assistance for families living in poverty.

People participate in polls and surveys because they want to be heard, and scammers can use that desire to build trust. People donate because they want their candidate to win and to improve their country or community, and scammers are more than happy to take advantage of a competitive spirit or big heart. Elections are polarizing – there are winners and losers, fans and haters. It’s easy to get swept up in the moment and take risks you might otherwise avoid. At the Better Business Bureau (BBB), we can’t tell you how to vote, but we can tell you how to spot common cybersecurity threats so you don’t become a victim of scams. Check your email: It can seem like once a candidate or political party gets your email address, you hear from them every time you check your inbox. They need your help; they want to know your point of view through a poll or survey; they urge you to support their efforts and impact the future by donating, participating or sharing information. Candidates are persistent because people want to get involved, to be in the know and to be a part of the process, so campaign email helps them move toward their goals. Scammers mimic campaign emails not to get your vote but to compromise your online safety. You might receive a poll, survey or donation request that appeals to your passion, beliefs and desire to take action – that’s really an attempt to steal your personal information. What looks like a legitimate donation request might actually be an attempt to gain access to your bank account. Before you donate or give personal information, research the organization that reached out, and be wary of people who try to rush you to make a decision. Be especially careful of emails with links. Phishing emails might include a link that takes users to a spoofed version of a candidate’s website or installs malware on your device. Use BBB’s tips for spotting an email scam to be sure it’s real.

Sometimes they also offer a prize or gift card in exchange for your time. They might ask you to give a credit card number to cover shipping. Learn how to identify a fake survey. • Donate funds – and if you give them your account information, they’ve got you. Learn about donating wisely to a crowdfunding campaign. • Register to vote – fraudsters might say you’re not registered and offer to help you with the process over the phone, then steal personally identifying information. It’s common for actual candidates to use prerecorded messages to reach out to the public. Scammers sometimes use voice cloning to make it sound like an authentic message from a candidate and persuade people to donate or share info. After hearing the message, people are redirected or transferred to someone ready to take down their information and use it for nefarious activities. Trickery by smishing: Smishing is similar to email scamming, only messages are sent via text. Citizens might receive a message that looks like it came from a trusted source, inviting them to participate in a poll or donate. Tricksters might be out to get your passwords, account numbers, social security number or other data. Read more about smishing and how to identify a fake text message. Another type of scam happens when con artists send a text about a fake problem. For example, an individual might get a text that looks like it came from their bank, asking if they really donated to a candidate, organization or party with a prompt to reply “yes” or “no.” If the person replies no, the scammer calls them and asks for their account log-in, numbers or password to investigate or dispute the transaction. The person feels fear and an urgent need to act, so they might not think twice about giving up sensitive information. There’s also the text-yourvote scam. Con artists send text messages urging people to text their vote rather than voting in person or by mail.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call continues its look at the ballot questions that will be on the November ballot for voter consideration. This week: Question #2: Dental Insurance. BALLOT QUESTION #2 - REQUIRE DENTAL INSURANCE PLANS TO SPEND AT LEAST 83 PERCENT OF THEIR PREMIUMS ON DENTAL CARE – The second question on the November ballot asks voters if they support a requirement that dental insurance plans spend at least 83 percent of their premiums received from members on dental care for the members and quality improvements rather than the administrative expenses of running the company. The proposal is sponsored by ON FACEBOOK ADVOCATE NEWSPAPER FACEBOOK.COM/ADVOCATE.NEWS.MA the Committee on Dental Insurance Quality. Chief opposition to the proposal is being led by the similarly named Committee to Protect Public Access to Quality Dental Care. “Dental insurance pays too little of patient costs, so families, seniors and individual patients with insurance struggle to cover their dental costs,” Chris Keohane, a spokesperson for the “Yes on 2” campaign told Beacon Hill Roll Call. “Requiring insurance companies to put more money into actual patient care will mean a better deal for patients. Similar to medical insurance laws, this law would require dental insurance companies to allocate at least 83 percent of paid premiums to patient care or refund premiums to patients to meet this standard. Simply put, a ‘Yes’ vote is a value guarantee for voters.” “Delta Dental has funded roughly 90 percent of the ‘No’ side of Question 2 and have spent several hundred thousand dollars in legal fees trying to silence the voters who signed to have this placed on the ballot,” continued Keohane. “The facts are simple. Delta Dental doesn’t want people in Massachusetts to know that they spent only $177 million in actual patient care the same year they ‘gifted’ $291 million to their parent company. These are verifiable facts on their own IRS 990 Tax Form. Now they are spending millions to confuse voters with blatant lies and it is shameful.” The “No on 2” campaign did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to answer questions about its campaign. The following information is from the campaign’s website. “Question 2 will increase dental costs for Massachusetts families and employers — by 38 percent, according to an independent study by Milliman Research,” says the “No on 2” campaign on its website. “A recent survey of Massachusetts consumers and businesses found that if such increases occur, more than half of consumers would likely drop their dental insurance and 90 percent of businesses indicated that they would be likely to make changes to coverage – including decreasing employer contributions and employee benefits or dropping dental coverage for employees altogether.” “A ballot question is no place to decide such a complicated issue that will force consumers to pay more for the same level of care while only benefiting providers,” continued opponents. “Question 2 is an endrun around experts and the Legislature.” Keohane told Beacon Hill Roll Call that he disputes the characterization of the study by Milliman Research as “independent.” “The ‘No’ side has peddled this study as ‘independent,’ but the insurance industry funded it, provided the data for it and their advertising is highlighting a specific portion of the ‘study’ that the authors themselves say is not possible. Their lies are a slap in the face to all voters.” “We are extremely optimistic that ‘Yes on 2’ will win in November,” continued Keohane. “With well over 700 endorsers from patients, dentists, elected officials and organizations, we have assembled a grassroots movement that is fed up with insurance executives getting paid outrageous salaries and the exorbitant corporate waste that their own tax forms prove.” Here are the official arguments of the supporters and opponents as they appear in the Redbook – the book, distributed by the Secretary of State to households across the state, which provides Information to voters on ballot questions. IN FAVOR: Written by Dr. Patricia Brown The Committee on Dental Insurance Quality www.fairdentalinsurance.org “A ‘Yes’ vote ensures better coverage and value for patients, instead of unreasonable corporate waste. For example, according to its own 2019 Form 990, Delta Dental (in Massachusetts alone) paid executive bonuses, commissions, and payments to affiliates of $382 million, while only paying $177 million for patient care. A ‘Yes’ vote would eliminate this inequity. Similar to medical insurance, this law would require dental insurance companies to allocate at least 83 percent of paid premiums to patient care, or refund premiums to patients to meet this standard. Insurance companies will try to confuse voters by saying that dental insurance premiums will increase. This is false, because Section 2(d) of the law specifically disallows increases above the consumer price index without state approval. Stop the corporate waste. Vote ‘Yes’ for fair dental insurance.” BEACON | SEE PAGE 19

According to first-year coach Mike Fineran, there were some positive takeaways, including Alejandra Cajamarca’s and Victoria Rodrigues’ serving, Jane Ebay’s passing, Nicole Brandao’s digs and Julie Miranda’s and Sam DeSouza ‘s sets. Miranda was also eight-foreight in serves, while also getting one ace. Cajamarca made 12 out of 13 serves with two aces. Brandao recorded six of eight serves to go along with two kills and one block. Rodrigues was perfect in serves with 14 in a row. She also had three aces. Vanessa Almonte accounted for four serves in six tries, while also producing one ace and two kills. Michelle Ngo ended up one kill and one block. Prior to the match versus Chelsea, they lost to Malden, 3-0 on Oct. 3. This was a tale of two contests. The Everett girls cruised in the first game, 25-15. “We were then cruising in the second game, and were serving for the win, leading 24-19, but Malden’s server got on a roll and stole the set, 26-24,” said Fineran. “If we had taken that set, things might have gone quite differently. We managed to string together some good plays after that, but not enough to really challenge them again.” Miranda was nearly perfect in serves, coming up with 17 out of 18 attempts. Emily Nogueira came up with 14 out of 16 good serves, while collecting five aces. Brandao was nine for 11 in serves, and also had two aces; six kills and one block. Rodrigues (17-for17 in serves, 4 aces), Ngo (1417 in serves, 9 aces, 5 kills), Almonte (4-5 in serves, 2 kills, 1 block) and Kaesta Sandy (2 kills, 2 blocks) rounded out the Everett statistics against the Golden Tornadoes.

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 14, 2022 Tide extends winning streak to four after taking down visiting Revere With the playoffs looming in November, Everett still looks to improve in all three phases of the game By Joe McConnell T he Everett Crimson Tide football team (4-1) continues to cruise past opponents since its opening night loss to Xaverian, one of the top-ranked teams in Division 1. Their most recent win was against Greater Boston League rival Revere (2-3) last Friday night at home, 41-13. They outscored the Patriots, 28-0 after the visitors were credited with the first score of the game. Everett’s Jayden Prophete got the offense going with a 16-yard touchdown run. Adoni Santos then kicked the extra point to tie up the proceedings. Quarterback Karmarri Ellerbe followed up that score to put his teammates ahead for good with an explosive 45-yard dash to the endzone in the second quarter. Ellerbe then hooked up with Christian Zamor for an 18-yard scoring strike, before he called his own number once again, scooting the final 22-yards for the final six points of the first half. Santos added the extra point after the second and third score to help account for the 28-7 advantage. The Everett defense rose up to start the second half, when Kevin Ruiz intercepted a pass and ran it back 60-yards to the house for six more points, followed by another Santos boot through the uprights. The Patriots put another touchdown on the scoreboard late in the third quarter, but it was Everett that accounted for the final two scores of the game. Zamor came through with his second touchdown of the game after negotiating the final 22-yards for six points. Santos had another successful extra point boot. Everett coach Rob DiLoreto thought the game was played at a much closer pace. “Although the score became lopsided, this game was much closer than the final score would indicate,” he said. “The Tide receiver Jaiden Williams attempts to evade Patriot defenders during last Friday night’s blow-out win over Revere at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Everett. Quarterback Kamarri Ellerbe carries the ball during Everett’s match up with Revere Friday.

Revere team played very hard, and they should be proud of their effort. But our players made some very athletic plays that led to some points, but our overall discipline and performance needs to improve.” DiLoreto credits the play of the defensive linemen and linebackers for last Friday night’s win, specifically Kevin Ruiz, who had an interception return for a touchdown. “That was a huge play in this game,” DiLoreto said. Adian Duclos, Ralph Pierre and Shane McKenzie also played solid games up front on defense, according to the veteran Everett coach. The Tide had one less day to prepare for this week’s game Everett’s Dominic Papa takes down a Patriot ball carrier as his teammates offer support. against host Medford. They were scheduled to play the Mustangs on Thursday, Oct. 13, after press deadline. “We need to take advantage of every rep on the practice field to clean up areas that need improvement, while advancing in the areas that are going well,” said DiLoreto. “Our team needs to improve in all three phases of the game in this short week. The Mustangs are coming off a big win against Somerville, 39-12, and DiLoreto knows his club needs to play clean, hard football to keep the winning streak going, because he also knows Medford coach John Curley will have his team ready.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 14, 2022 Page 19 BEACON | FROM PAGE 14 AGAINST: Written by Louis Rizoli Committee To Protect Public Access To Quality Dental Care www.Protectmydentalcare. com “This question will increase costs for Massachusetts families and employers — a 38 percent premium increase in one recent independent study — and could result in thousands of people losing access to dental care. With consumer prices soaring, we don’t need a new regulation that will increase costs and decrease choice. There is no law like this ballot question anywhere in the nation. The Massachusetts Legislature actually repealed a similar law in 2011 because it proved overly burdensome and provided no real benefits for consumers. Federal lawmakers excluded it from Obamacare, and a special commission in Massachusetts reviewed and rejected a similar provision. Further, the state already requires reporting from dental plans.” ALSO, UP ON BEACON HILL ALLOW CITIES AND TOWNS TO COLLECT CONDO FEES ACCUMULATED DURING FORECLOSURE PROCESS (H 3022) – The House gave initial approval to a bill that applies to cities and towns which have put a tax lien on a condominium property for the owner’s failure to pay property taxes. The measure allows cities and towns to collect, at the time of the foreclosure sale, any condo fees owed to the condo association, during the foreclosure process. Under current law, the city or town can collect only the back taxes but not the condo fees. Sponsor Rep. Brian Murray (D-Milford) recounted a case in which several commercial condos in Milford were placed into tax title because of failure of the owners to pay taxes. He said it took six years until the property finally went to foreclosure, auction and sale. Following the sale, the condo association successfully sued the town for the back condo fees and the town had to pay $60,000 out of its pocket because under current law, it was precluded from recovering the condo fees in the foreclosure and auction process. “I filed this bill to prevent such an occurrence from happening in the future, by providing a municipality the right to recover these [condo fee] costs as an addition to the tax title account and part of the terms of eventual redemption,” said Rep. Murray. “The bill seeks equity for cities and towns to be able to recover all known costs in situations where foreclosures of condominiums, which can take a great deal of time that translates into expense, become necessary due to the failure to pay real estate taxes.” ELECTION LAWS BILLS SENT TO A STUDY COMMITTEE – Several bills affecting the state’s elections laws were sent to a study committee where bills are rarely actually studied and are essentially defeated. It is a way to kill a proposal without holding a vote on the bill itself. Here are some of the election law bills that were sent off to a study committee: MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO PAY SOMEONE TO ATTEND TOWN MEETING (S 467) – Makes it a crime to bribe someone to attend or not to attend their local town meeting and imposes up to a 1-year prison sentence on violators. Current law makes it illegal to pay someone to vote at an election but does not apply to town meetings. “For the integrity of our local government, it is crucial there be no incentive for attendance or absence at a town meeting,” said sponsor Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxboro). “There remains a loophole in the statute that we must work to close. [The bill] does just that by ensuring no payments, or compensation of any kind is exchanged for attendance or absence to a town meeting, similar to a prohibition on compensation in exchange for a vote at the ballot box. I will continue to support this measure in the upcoming legislative session and hope to see this oversight addressed.” ALLOW RESIDENTS TO REQUEST ANONYMITY ON STREET LISTINGS (S 456) – Under current law, all Massachusetts households receive in the mail and must fill out an annual street listing (census) form that includes each resident’s name, address, date of birth, occupation, veteran status and nationality, if not a citizen of the United States, in January of each year. The information is used to maintain voting and jury lists, aid in school enrollment projections and for many other things including veterans’ benefits and proof of residency for state universities. This bill would allow any resident of a city or town to request that his or her information from each city or town’s annual street listing not be posted publicly and not be disclosed to anyone without the person’s permission. Current law allows a few people, including those who are under a court order granting protection or living in a protective shelter, law enforcement and public safety personnel, to request their information be kept confidential. The bill allows anyone to request the exemption. “This straightforward bill would allow town clerks to refrain from making public personally identifiable information about voters if they receive a request from said voter,” said sponsor Sen. Jo Comer ford (D-Northampton). “I was happy to introduce this bill on behalf of a constituent of mine. This bill will not become law this session, but I look forward to further action in this space in subsequent sessions.” REGULATE “PUSH POLLING” (H 821) – Would require anyone conducting a “push poll” to identify the candidate or organization for which he or she is working and inform the interviewee that the telephone call is a paid political advertisement. A push poll is a political campaign technique in which an individual or organization attempts to manipulate or change voters’ views under the guise of conducting an opinion poll. During the call, the “pollster” asks questions related to an opposing candidate for public office which state, imply or convey negative and often untrue information about the candidate’s character, status or political stance or record, with the intent of “pushing” the interviewee toward adopting an - LEGAL NOTICE - unfavorable opinion of the candidate. Anyone violating the law would be fined up to $1,000. Supporters say that push polls are misleading and should be highly regulated. Sponsor Rep. Jim Murphy (D-Weymouth) did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on why he filed the bill and how he feels about its defeat. ALLOW SOME FELONS TO VOTE (H 829) – Would allow jailed felons to vote in elections unless they were convicted of indecent assault and battery on a child; attempt to commit murder by poison, drowning or strangulation; murder; manslaughter or assault with intent to commit rape; or any other crime for which the person may be punished by imprisonment in a state prison for BEACON | SEE PAGE 20 ENROLLED ORDINANCE PUBLISHED PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 1 SECTION 4.5 OF THE REVISED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF EVERETT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL LAWS Chapter 43, Section 23.

Charlie Baker declared October as “Massachusetts Cranberry Month.” “The Baker-Polito Administration is proud to support cranberry growers, who make significant contributions to the commonwealth’s agricultural sector and local economies. Our local growers are true stewards of the land, implementing the latest in proprietary technology and equipment to harvest their fruit, and utilizing innovative methods that conserve water and protect Massachusetts’ natural resources.” --- Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Beth Card. “As a side dish at Thanksgiving dinner, served dried on oatmeal or salads, or enjoyed in a glass in juice form, cranberries are a mighty multi-purpose fruit with enormous health benefits. Autumn in Massachusetts is a special time for many reasons, but chief among them is the breathtaking scenery and imagery that takes shape across ‘Cranberry Country’ in Southeastern Massachusetts when the harvest season is in full swing and bogs are awash in crimson.” --- Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources Commissioner John Lebeaux. “The hard-working cranSergio Cornelio, City Clerk October 14, 2022 For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net berry growers of Massachusetts are honored that the Baker-Polito Administration is once again recognizing October as cranberry month in the commonwealth. Despite the significant drought that impacted many of our cranberry farms this growing season, with some recent rain events, along with resourceful and innovative growers, we are excited for an expected good cranberry crop this year.” --- Brian Wick, Executive Director of the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association. “I am extremely pleased to be celebrating October 2022 as Massachusetts Cranberry Month. The commonwealth’s cranberry industry has historically served as one of our most abundant statewide agricultural sectors - especially in the Southeast region I proudly represent. With Massachusetts responsible for over one-fifth of our country’s domestic cranberry production, I am glad we are taking the opportunity to recognize the valuable opportunities that this agricultural sector continues to provide for our commonwealth.” --- Sen. Marc Pacheco (D-Taunton). HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of October 3-7, the House met for a total of 23 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 40 minutes. Mon.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 14, 2022 Page 21 Say nir Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller How Much Does an Average Funeral Cost? Dear Savvy Senior, How much does a typical funeral and body burial cost today? My wife and I are interested in prearranging our funerals but would like to have a cost idea before going in so we can plan and budget appropriately. Planning Ahead Dear Planning, It defi nitely pays to know what charges to expect when pre-planning a funeral. Most people don’t have a clue and can often be upsold thousands of dollars’ worth of extra services they may not want or need. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect. Funeral Prices The fi rst thing you need to be aware of is that funeral costs will vary considerably depending on your geographic location, the funeral home you choose and the funeral choices you make. With that said, here’s a breakdown of what an average funeral costs, nationwide, according to the most recent data from the National Funeral Directors Association. Professional services fee: This is a basic non-declinable fee that covers the funeral provider’s time, expertise and overhead: $2,300. Transfer of the remains: This is for picking up the body and taking it to the funeral home: $350 Embalming and body preparation: Embalming is usually mandatory for open-casket viewing, otherwise it’s not required unless the body is going to be transported across state lines. Embalming costs $775. Other body preparations, which includes hairdressing and cosmetics runs $275. Funeral viewing and ceremony: If the viewing and funeral ceremony is at the funeral home, you’ll be charged for use of the chapel and any necessary staff . Costs: $450 for viewing, and $515 for funeral ceremony. Metal casket: This is a big money maker for funeral homes, with markups of up to 300 percent over the wholesale price: $2,500. Funeral transportation: Use of hearse and driver; $325 to transport the body to the cemetery. Use of a service car/van: $150. Memorial printed package: This includes printed programs and memorial guest book: $183. In addition to these costs, there are also a number of cemetery costs like the plot or mausoleum fee, the vault or grave liner that most cemeteries require, and the opening and closing of the grave, all of which can run between $2,000 and $3,000; and the gravestone, which typically runs between $1,000 and $3,000. You’ll also need to budget for related expenses like fl owers for the funeral ($200 to $400), the newspaper obituary fee ($100 to $800 or more), the clergy honorarium ($200 to $300) and extra copies of the death certifi - cate ($5 to $35 per copy depending on the state). All told, the average cost of a total U.S. funeral today with viewing and cemetery burial is around $12,000. Ways to Save If this is more than you’re willing or able to pay, there are ways to save. For starters, you should know that prices can vary signifi cantly by funeral provider, so it’s wise to shop around. If you need some help, there are websites you can turn to like Parting.com that lets you easily compare prices online based on what you want. When evaluating funeral providers, be sure you get an itemized price list of services and products so you can accurately compare and choose what you want. The most signifi cant way to save is to request a “direct burial” or “direct cremation.” With these options you and your wife would be buried or cremated shortly after death, which skips the embalming and viewing. If you want a memorial service, you can have it at the graveside or at your place of worship without the body. These services usually run between $1,000 and $3,000, not counting cemetery charges.
