ADDOCCO TEAT www.advocatenews.net Free Every Friday The Blue Suit gets laundered – again Leader Herald publisher admits Resnek’s columns weren’t satire By James Mitchell I n a continuation of a deposition by Everett Leader Herald newspaper owner Matthew Philbin by Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s attorney Jeff rey Robbins on Oct. 13, 2023, in the ongoing defamation lawsuit against the newspaper, Philbin, his father Andrew Philbin, Sr., reporter Joshua Resnek, and Sergio Cornelio, Philbin stated that Resnek, his corrupt reporter, didn’t report to him after Atty. Robbins asked him about an Oct. 2021 text to Resnek. The text ordered him not to distribute an edition, telling Resnek he did not want any of those papers “to see the light of day.” When asked if it was a strong suggestion to his reporter, Philbin agreed that it was a “very strong suggestion,” as he’s the owner of the newspaper. “To the person who reported to you, correct?” asked the attorney. “No, Josh didn’t report to anybody,” said Philbin, stating that Resnek had “fi nal say” and that Resnek didn’t report to him. Atty. Robbins asked Philbin if he was aware that Resnek had apologized under oath to the mayor at Resnek’s recent deposition. Philbin stated that he wasn’t aware of what his corrupt reporter was apologizing for and that he told him that he’d “probably read in the paper that I apologized for any mistakes that I made in the paper.” Philbin said he didn’t ask Resnek to clarify the mistakes he made, but instead stated that he said, “That’s good.” “And since you said ‘‘that’s good,’ has the Leader Herald apologized to Mr. DeMaria?” asked Robbins. Philbin replied that he didn’t know; that he never gave Resnek instructions to apologize or to issue a retracRESNEK | SEE PAGE 9 SINCE 1921 Messinger Insurance Agency 475 Broadway Everett, MA 02149 Phone: 617-387-2700 Fax: 617-387-7753 NEW COMPETITIVE AUTO RATES AND BENEFITS AVAILABLE ACCIDENT FORGIVENESS DISAPPEARING COLLISION DEDUCTIBLE 11% DISCOUNT WITH SUPPORTING POLICY 10% COMBINED PAY IN FULL DISCOUNT AND GREEN DISCOUNT 10% GOOD STUDENT DISCOUNT Celebrating 100 years of excellence!

Page 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 20, 2023 School Committee approves Alma Advisory Group for school supt. search T By Neil Zolot he School Committee approved using Chicago-based consulting firm Alma Advisory Group to help search for a new school superintendent at a cost of $85,600, at their meeting Monday, October 16. The vote was 4-3 with member-at-large Samantha Lambert, Jason Marcus (Ward 2) and Jeanne Cristiano (Ward 3) dissenting and member-at-large Joseph LaMonica, Marcony Almeida-Barros (Ward 5) and Mayor Carlo De Maria absent. Cristiano and Lambert were part of a coalition, along with Barros, that voted against various proposals at the October 2 meeting to hire and pay Alma that eventually led to a visit from City Clerk and informal parliamentarian Sergio Cornelio, who advised that while the appropriation required only a simple majority vote because the funds are already in the budget, the matter should be tabled and be reintroduced with cost figures included. Committee Chairperson Michael Mangan came prepared. “Two weeks ago, I didn’t have all the proper answers and wanted to make sure I have,” he apologized before reiterating the points Cornelio made October 2. Following a meeting with the City Solicitor Collen Mejia, it was discovered that the city clerk’s opinion was faulty and inaccurate. The vote was followed by a motion for reconsideration made by member-at-large Michael McLaughlin, which was defeated 7-0. He said it was standard procedure in part to prevent future reconsideration. Mangan projects having a new superintendent chosen before 2024. Former School Committee Chairman Thomas Abruzzese took exception to that in Public Comment. Recalling the 2019 superintendent search process that yielded current Superintendent Priya Tahiliani, he said, “in the first four months we were just barely into the process and having public meetings to get a feel for what the community wanted.” He added that consultants the Mass. Association of School Committees, which conducted the search at no cost, “guided us every step of the way in a process that took almost a year,” later elaborating that it took 11 months. Cristiano expressed similar concerns about the timeline of October 2nd , which is ironic whereas the last School Committee hired Tahiliani in December 2019 and began her tenure in March 2020. Abruzzese was preceded by Peggy Serino, who said the fact that only one firm, and it being from out of state, applied to the Requests for Proposals to be the consultant indicated “many companies don’t want anything to do with this fiasco.” The reason that may be is Business Owner, Coach, Independent Jim Mastrocola knows the concerns of the Ward 4 residents. He is a lifelong resident of the ward, residing at 56 Preston Street his entire life. He and his 3 daughters attended the Everett Public Schools. Jim owned and operated the Mastrocola Insurance Company on the Parkway in Everett for 34 years. His work ethic enabled him to service over 3,000 clients. His work ethics, management skills and professional experience will be an asset to the school committee and city. Jim is community oriented, having volunteered for over 12 seasons as a coach, manager and mentor for Babe Ruth Baseball and Girls Softball Organizations. The Everett School Committee needs an independent voice to ensure that our administrators, teachers, and coaches are doing everything possible to provide the children of Everett the skills needed to maximize their potential. due to the fact that the last search committee, under former board member Abruzzese, chose the least qualified candidate out of four, Tahiliani, who was never qualified nor was never employed as a principal of a school – a basic qualification. What’s even more disturbing, Tahiliani never earned a Master’s Degree in Education, which all of her fellow candidates held. Later in the meeting, Mangan said Alma is also in negotiations with Lawrence as a consultant, which he feels “is a lot like Everett, only bigger.” He started the meeting with a call for a moment of silence to recognize the hostilities in the Middle East. “What’s going on is a tragedy,” he acknowledged. “We hope the situation is resolved sooner rather than later.” Mangan ended the meeting with an announcement that a representative from Greystar Real Estate Partners will hold a free construction panel discussion for High School students who might be considering a career in property development, construction and/ or engineering on Wednesday, November 1. The item was placed on the agenda of the September 5 and 28 meetings by DeMaria, but no Greystar personnel attended. “It is important for the city H to create as many opportunities as possible for young people to explore potential career options because learning about possible long-term interests may influence a student’s educational choices,” DeMaria feels. “Students can see several Greystar development projects underway in Everett. Creating the chance for young people to connect with members of the Greystar team to learn about what it takes to bring these projects to fruition may help students find a future opportunity they didn’t APPROVES | SEE PAGE 4
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 20, 2023 Page 3 ~ Letters-to-the-Editor ~ Parent upset over Abbruzzese’s candidacy; relationship with supt. Dear Editor, As a parent of three children in the Everett Public Schools, two at the high school and one at the English School and a Ward 6 resident, I am appalled to see Tom Abruzzese running again for school committee. His interests are not for the students but with his family. He has seven members of his family on the school payroll, his three sons, two daughterin-laws, a niece, and a nephew. The present superintendent has promoted two of his children, one to a truant offi - cer and the second to a lead teacher. I am further appalled that he and the present superintendent did nothing regarding with what was reported in the local paper about his son’s illegal activities on a school-based computer during school hours. The fi rm hired to investigate his son’s illegal activities recommended that the computer be turned over to the district attorney for further investigation. We paid him to stay home for one year. In the end, our superintendent failed to forward the report to the District Attorney. Instead, she brought him back to work and looked the other way. It should be noted that Tom Abruzzese led the committee to elect her superintendent. I am further appalled that a school committee member, Samantha Lambert, who is a tenant of Tom Abruzzese, talks about integrity on the school committee and did nothing to protect our children. She did nothing with this report. Let’s not turn back the clock. Signed, Name withheld for fear of retaliation to my children Resident supports ward 3 city councillor’s challenger Dear Editor, As an Everett homeowner and Ward 4 resident, I write to express my concern regarding our City Councilor Jimmy Tri Le. He is unable to attend council meetings due to allegations of sexual assault against a colleague. What is troubling is the apparent acceptance of these allegations by some of his fellow council members. This raises questions about their ethical standards and honor in public service. Adding to the dismay, Mr. Le has admitted to the facts of the crime, yet he continues to canvass our neighborhood and seek re-election. This despite a guaranteed “stay away” order that has kept him out of the council and will continue if he to win! I am compelled to discuss with my neighbors why he cannot perform his duties.

On October 4, 2023, Governor Maura Healey signed the bill into law as Chapter 50 of the Acts of 2023. “I am thrilled we passed this long-awaited tax relief package,” said McGonagle. “House and Senate leadership have proven that we in the Legislature are making it a priority to address affordability concerns in the Commonwealth without sacrificing our standards.

Mariano (D-Quincy). “I’m confident Joseph McGonagle State Representative 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. I want to thank Chairman Michlewitz, the members of the conference committee and all the members of the House, as well as Senate President Spilka and our partners in the Senate for working diligently to get this done.” “This tax relief package will help thousands of residents keep more money in their pockets by providing much needed financial assistance,” said Representative Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), who is Chair of the House Committee on Ways & Means. “This package will also help keep the Commonwealth an economically competitive work environment for both businesses and workers. “I want to thank Speaker Mariano for his leadership, my counterparts on the conference committee for their tireless work to make this legislation possible, as well as the entire Legislature for their collaboration on this issue.” The compromise bill includes the following tax changes: Child and Dependent Tax Credit: The bill increases 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 taxable year 2024 and beyond, while eliminating the child/ dependent cap.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 20, 2023 Page 9 RESNEK | FROM PAGE 1 tion. Despite Resnek’s recent intentions, Philbin or the newspaper have yet to follow through on any attempt at an apology. Atty. Robbins asked Philbin, given the fact that Resnek, under oath, apologized to the mayor for writing falsehoods, should the newspaper retract them, or inform their readers that the articles they published were admittedly false; Philbin replied, “No, I did not.” Philbin also testified under oath about if his newspaper had ever set procedures or constituted a policy to ensure that the newspaper only publishes accurate articles; Philbin said he did not, and that he didn’t recall. “Have you taken any steps at all to ensure that articles published by your paper be accurate?” asked Atty. Robbins. “I have not,” said Philbin. “I believe that Mr. Resnek, as the reporter and editor, would do so.” When asked if the newspaper had taken any steps since the lawsuit was filed against them in 2021 to ensure that they do not publish false articles again, Philbin stated that he may have had a conversation with Resnek about it but couldn’t remember the exact date. Philbin was asked if he was aware that the insurance company that held the libel and slander policy for his newspaper might not cover his current legal expenses; Philbin said he was concerned and may have had conversations about the situation with Resnek. Philbin was presented with an exhibit of a Jan. 15, 2023, email conversation between Resnek and his friend, Russel Pergament, a local publisher, including of the long defunct Metro newspaper, where Resnek asked Pergament for advice regarding the Utica Insurance Company refusing to renew the newspaper’s policy. “As of this week, we are publishing without insurance, which I hate to say, is a very bad place to be in today’s litigious world,” stated Resnek to his pal. “For my partner, it is as you suggested a move toward extinction. He RE-ELECT JASON MARCUS For Ward 2 School Committee Because Experience Counts! (Paid Political Adv.) does not want to go on without insurance.” Philbin admitted that he had talked about the issue, admitting that he felt it wasn’t a good idea to continue publishing without insurance. When asked why Resnek told Pergament that he and Philbin were partners, Philbin said that Resnek used that word “pretty loosely” – and that he believes he uses that word with a lot of people, falsely claiming he’s part owner. “Were you and he partners in running the Leader Herald?” asked the attorney. “No,” said Philbin. The legitimacy of the newspaper company, Dorchester Publications, LLC and its ownership appeared front and center when Philbin was asked if he was aware of any articles of organization, operating or management agreement, documents that spell out management responsibilities; the name of the manager or even the identity of the ownership. Philbin stated he did not. “Are there any documents of any kind that identify the purpose of Dorchester Publications?” asked Atty. Robbins. “I don’t know,” said Philbin. The witness continued answering that he didn’t know of any documents which proved that he owned Dorchester Publications, documentation identifying an owner, officers in the company or any documents reflecting the company’s agreement to borrow money. Philbin admitted that there possibly were signatories for several bank accounts for Dorchester Publications, which may or may not have included former Operations Manager Elena Vega and former employee Nicole Porcella, but he confirmed that Resnek had access since 2017. Philbin stated that there were never any written agreements between Dorchester Publications and the newspaper’s employees, including Resnek, Mary Schovanec or Lorenzo Recupero. Asked about the newspaper office on Church Street, Philbin admitted that Dorchester Publications is a “tenant at will” with the owners of the building, who happen to be himself and his brother, Andrew Philbin, Jr., an Everett firefighter and rooming house owner. Philbin said he couldn’t identify any written lease between the Dorchester Publications and the entity which rents property. The questioning returned to the newspaper articles, this time an exhibit of an Oct. 11, 2023, “Eye on Everett” article where Resnek writes at the beginning of his “Blue Suit” article a disclaimer reminding readers that it’s all fiction, writing, “It is all made up. Everything I tell the Blue Suit and everything the Blue Suit tells me is all made up. We don’t use tape recorders. We don’t conduct interviews. We don’t take notes for these columns. In other words, these columns are a fiction, a spin.” Philbin was asked when he instructed Resnek to start publishing the disclaimer in his column; he replied that he didn’t and wasn’t aware when Resnek started. Asked if he remembered Resnek saying that his articles were fiction and all “made up” prior to the lawsuit, Philbin said he did. Atty. Robbins then produced exhibits of emails dated Sept. 29, 2020, between Resnek, Joseph Prezioso and Lorenzo Recupero from James Mahoney, the former newspaper designer, of the Everett Leader Herald Oct. 1, 2020, edition where Resnek states in his Blue Suit article, “’Then the mayor comes back with his lackeys claiming I write articles without sourcing them. That’s a joke,’ I said. ‘EveryRESNEK | SEE PAGE 10 Is the election about sign popularity, or is it about qualifications, skill and experience of the individual?

The truth is a terrible weapon of aggression,’ the Blue Suit said.” The mayor cringes at your story telling about him. It drives him crazy, this column from week to week. He hates it. You reveal nearly everything he does wrong. Everything he is sneaking.’” Philbin said that he doesn’t remember Resnek sending him the draft but is shown an email between him and Resnek at 6:30 p.m. – an hour after he sent him the draft article; in the subject line, its states, “The Eye – enjoy” – Philbin emailed back to Resnek, “How bout [sic] what a loss for the City.” Asked what he meant by his suggestion to Resnek, Philbin stated that he didn’t know what he was commenting about when he replied to Resnek. Robbins again asks Philbin to read what the subject line in his reply to Resnek states; Philbin replies, “Subject: The Eye – enjoy.” Philbin is then asked to read the subject line in his response to Resnek; Philbin states, “Oh, regarding the Eye – enjoy.” In another exhibit of the “Eye on Everett Blue Suit” column, in a June 4, 2019, email between Resnek, Philbin and Alex Yates, Philbin is shown the draft article titled “The Mayor and I talk about Life, Donuts and Money.” Resnek begins by referring to the mayor as “Kickback Carlo,” falsely writing about how the mayor was involved in a “number of incidents” involving women at his donut shop and city hall, and in one incident where he held a knife to a woman’s throat. The second page describes how the mayor received bribes, free gas from a local gas station owner whose daughter he employed, a free Mercedes from his father-inlaw, free dry cleaning and landscaping. Philbin was asked to confi rm if the article was sent to him prior to publication; he agreed, but pointed out to the attorney that there was an “Editor’s Note” disclaimer that the column was all fi ction – but this time it appeared at the end of the article. Atty. Robbins asked him why it wasn’t placed at the beginning of the column; Philbin stated that he didn’t know but it was satire and he printed it. “Did you give instructions that it be described as satire? asked the attorney. “No,” replied the witness. Philbin was then asked if he ever instructed his corrupt reporter that he should make sure that the Blue Suit articles were described as fi ction; Philbin answered, “Not that I recall.” In another incriminatory piece of evidence, Philbin is presented with an exhibit which shows a draft of an article written by Resnek and sent to Philbin the day before the paper went to press. The article is titled “An Open Letter to Andrew Lelling” (the US district attorney) – Resnek invites Lelling and an FBI agent Elio to Everett in order to investigate “Kickback Carlo” as, he writes, he’s “in his tenth year of organized, obscene, uniquely disguised municipal theft and greed.” Resnek’s obscene drivel states that he “has knowledge of the kickback, including one who says he can identify how Kickback Carlo is paid,” among other false claims. “Did Mr. Resnek ever present you with any evidence that Mr. DeMaria had ever taken a kickback?” “No. I don’t think he ever produced any evidence,” replied Philbin. “Did you ever ask Mr. Resnek if he had any evidence that Mr. DeMaria had ever committed any kind of theft or crime?” asked Atty. Robbins. “No. I don’t believe I did,” he replied. Asked if there was anything in that article which says that what is written is satire, Philbin says, “I don’t see anything in this article that suggests that, no.” “When you read the article just a moment ago, Mr. Philbin, did anything in there indicate to you that Mr. Resnek was saying it was fi ction or satire or shouldn’t be believed in any way?” “No,” was Philbin’s answer. Next week: Leader Herald owner Philbin was the last word before press time.

Code Red! The Everett Public School system has flatlined! After reviewing the MCAS scores over the past three years for all grade levels in both English-Language Arts and Math, the results are shocking. Everett is performing lower than our surrounding cities, including Boston, but also has been stagnant. The results of the scores have minimally changed over this time. A flat line. The Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System, or MCAS, is the only set of standardized tests used to measure public school students’ performance by meeting or exceeding the expectations of the curriculum. The test is also analyzed by the districts to measure the health and vitality of their curriculum. These scores are used to identify strengths and weaknesses within the school system and the curriculum is adjusted accordingly. After the test scores are analyzed by the Department of Education, an accountability report is published listing each school building throughout the Commonwealth and categorizes them into “schools that require assistance” and “schools that do not require assistance.” Everett’s Keverian School was categorized as needing assistance. Assistance can mean a number of things. The people of Everett have not heard a word from the superintendent about the necessary assistance for the Keverian School. Everett’s scores in the Grades 3-8 Math category, went from only 14 percent meeting or exceeding expectations in 2021 to 20 percent in 2023, peaking at 22 percent in 2022. This shows only about one-fifth of our students are meeting the curriculum requirements.

In 2021, 41 percent were performing at or better than curriculum expectations as opposed to only 33 percent in 2023. Grade 10 Math and Grades 3-8 English-Language Arts scores were both around 20 percent each year, showing no progress or changes that have been made to the curriculum. When results dramatically show regression, stop-gap measures must be put in place to prevent further regression. What do you do when everything is stagnant, a “flat line”? Bring in a new superintendent! During the October 3, 2023 School Committee Meeting, member Samantha Lambert made the motion to end the use of the MCAS test. Eliminating the test is not the answer. It is the only form of accountability and performance for teachers and administration authorized by the Commonwealth. If these were eliminated, the public would never know that the Keverian School is underperforming and needs more assistance. We would never know that only one-fifth of our students are understanding the basic curriculum and that no action has been taken to increase that number over the last three years. Do the parents really want this level of attention being taken from our children’s education? Changes should be made to the curriculum and to the teaching methods to better ensure learning is taking place in our schools. Medford Malden Revere Peabody Somerville Boston Everett

Malden Council on Aging (COA) are hosting a second MassHealth Renewal Day at the Malden Senior Center (7 Washington St.). The event will be held on Thursday, Nov. 9, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. MassHealth members aged 65 years and up are invited to register for a one-on-one renewal session with a trained expert. All MassHealth members need to renew their coverage during the next year, following the end of the federal public health emergency. During the peak of the COVID pandemic, MassHealth members were able to keep their benefits, but renewal is now required again. Residents will receive a blue envelope from MassHealth notifying them when their renewal is due. “MVES and the Malden COA want to ensure that every older adult in our community retains their insurance benefi ts,” explains MVES CEO Lisa Gurgone. “Our certifi ed counselors will be on hand to help members complete their renewal.” For members who are not yet due for renewal, the counselors can provide guidance on their future renewal date, whether they need to update the information they’ve provided to MassHealth, eligibility and more. “We want to make the renewal process as clear and seamless as possible for our residents,” notes Malden Senior Center Program Director Mikeneil Paul. Please try to bring to your session your blue envelope from MassHealth and its contents, form of identifi cation, social security number and proof of income, assets and insurance. Reservations are required. To sign up, please call Mystic Valley Elder Services at 781-324-7705, ext. 100.

Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 20, 2023 MCGONAGLE | FROM PAGE 6 will be the most generous universal child and dependent tax credit in the country. Estate Tax: Massachusetts’ current estate tax, which has not been updated in many years, has become an outlier in several ways. The changes made in this bill update the tax to bring it more in line with other states and eliminate punitive elements of the tax for those with incomes just high enough to trigger it. The bill reduces the estate tax for all taxpayers and eliminates the tax for all estates under $2 million by allowing a uniform credit of $99,600. Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): This bill increases the refundable EITC from 30 percent to 40 percent of the federal credit. This increase will provide crucial support to working individuals and families, benefiting nearly 400,000 taxpayers with incomes under $60,000. Single Sales Factor Apportionment: Currently, most businesses in Massachusetts are subject to a three-factor apportionment based on location, payroll and receipts. To support companies headquartered in Massachusetts, this bill establishes a single sales factor apportionment in the Commonwealth based solely on receipts, matching what 39 other states currently do. Senior Circuit Breaker Tax Credit: This bill doubles the refundable senior circuit breaker tax credit, which supports limited-income seniors facing high rents or real estate taxes, from $1,200 to $2,400. This change is expected to impact over 100,000 seniors across Massachusetts. Rental Deduction Cap: This bill increases the rental deduction cap from $3,000 to $4,000. This is expected to impact about 800,000 Massachusetts taxpayers. Short-Term Capital Gains Tax: At 12 percent, Massachusetts is among the states with the highest short-term capital gains tax rate, and taxes shortterm capital gains at a higher rate than long-term capital gains. The bill lowers the short-term capital gains tax rate to 8.5 percent. Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP): The bill increases the statewide cap from $10 million to $57 million for 2023, and subsequently to $30 million annually, which will provide Gateway Cities with an expanded tool to develop market rate housing. This increase is estimated to create 12,500 new homes in Gateway Cities and spur over $4 billion of private investment in these communities. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit: This bill raises the annual authorization from $40 million to $60 million. This increased authorization cap provides enough funding to spur the creation of thousands of new units of affordable housing annually while also bolstering economic development. Local Option Property Tax Exemption for Affordable Housing: This new policy will permit municipalities to adopt a local property tax exemption for affordable real estate that is rented by a person whose income is less than a certain level set by the community. Title V Cesspool or Septic System Tax Credit: This bill will triple the maximum credit from $6,000 to $18,000, and it increases the amount claimable to $4,000 per year, easing the burden on homeowners facing the high cost of septic tank replacement or repair. Additional Tax Changes: • Lead Paint Abatement: doubles the credit to $3,000 for full abatement and $1,000 for partial abatement to support families with older homes. • Dairy Tax Credit: increases the statewide cap from $6 million to $8 million to provide more assistance for local farmers during downturns in milk prices. • Student Loan Repayment Exemption: ensures that employer student loan payments are not treated as taxable compensation. • Commuter Transit Benefits: makes public transit fares, as well as ferry and regional transit passes and bike commuter expenses, eligible for the commuter expense tax deduction. • Apprenticeship Tax Credit Reforms: expands the occupations for which this workforce development credit is available. • Cider Tax: raises the maximum amount of alcohol for these classes of drinks to 8.5 percent, allowing more locally produced hard cider and still wines to be taxed at a lower rate. • Senior Property Tax Volunteer Program: increases from $1,500 to $2,000 the maximum that municipalities may allow for certain seniors to reduce their property tax by participating in the senior workoff program. Additional Reforms: In addition to tax relief, the bill updates Chapter 62F of the Massachusetts General Laws, which triggered nearly $3 billion in taxpayer refunds in 2022. This law requires that excess revenue be returned to taxpayers when tax revenue collections in a given fiscal year exceed an annual tax revenue cap. The bill ensures that each credit is applied equally to every taxpayer. The bill also adjusts the Stabilization Fund cap, allowing the Commonwealth’s savings account to retain more funding. In addition, the bill requires married taxpayers who file a joint return with the federal government to file a joint state return, subject to exemptions or adjustments promulgated by the Department of Revenue.
Sa nr Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller Protecting Your Pets After You’re Gone Dear Savvy Senior, What is the best way to ensure my pets are taken care of after I’m gone? I have two dogs and a cat that are my four-legged family, and I want to make sure they’ll be well taken care of after I die. Solo Senior Dear Solo, It’s a great question. Every year, approximately 500,000 cats and dogs enter shelters when their pet parents experience an emergency or pass away. Without a proper plan in place for the future care of your pets, they are at risk of ending up in a shelter where they could be euthanized. To avoid this terrifying scenario and ensure your furry family is cared for both physically and financially after you’re gone, you should consider including them in your estate plan. Talk to your attorney about how to insert them in your will or trust in accordance with your state’s laws. Here’s what you’ll need to do. Wills If you already have a will or are planning to make one, you could simply add in a trusted caretaker clause for your pets, along with an alternative if your fi rst choice falls through. You should also set aside money in your will for your pet’s care with an explanation of how the funds should be spent. To determine how much to leave, multiply your pet’s annual food, care and medical costs by their life expectancies. You may want to add a separate document, called a letter of instruction, describing your pet’s routine, food and medication. But be aware that even with this provision in your will the caretaker is not legally obligated to follow your instructions, spend the money as you intended or send the pet to another caretaker that you’ve named. Once the money is distributed to the caretaker, it’s an honor system. Trusts Another option is to create a pet trust, which provides more legal protections. Depending on your state’s laws (see aspca.org/ pet-care/pet-planning/pettrust-laws), you could set up either a revocable pet trust, which can be changed or canceled during your lifetime, or an irrevocable pet trust that can’t be reversed. A pet trust can be completely separate or part of an existing trust that encompasses your other assets. Along with appointing a trustee to manage your trust’s finances, you name your pet’s caretaker (who could also serve as the trustee), and any alternative caretakers, as well as an optional trust protector for added oversight of the trustee given that the benefi ciary (your pets) can’t defend their own rights. Unlike a will, the caretaker has a fi duciary duty to follow your letter of instruction if you include one. The cost for a living trust range anywhere between $1,000 to $3,000, while a will typically costs between $200 and $1,000. There are also cheaper do-it-yourself resources for making a simple will or trust, like Nolo’s Quicken WillMaker & Trust (Nolo.com, $99) and Trust & Will (TrustandWill.com, $159). Or, if that’s more than you’re willing to pay, you can make your will for free at FreeWill.com or DoYourOwnWill.com. Other Arrangements If you don’t have anyone who would be willing to take care of your pets after you’re gone, you should make arrangements to leave them to an animal retirement home, a rescue, humane society, pet care program or other animal welfare group. Many of these organizations fi nd new homes for pets or offer lifetime care but may require a fee or donation. Talk to your veterinarian about the options available in your area. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 20, 2023 Page 21 Lackland’s five-touchdown performance helps power past Medford to secure another Tide victory After taking on host Malden last night, Everett returns home to prep for Lynn Classical on Oct. 27 By Joe McConnell layers from Andover, Natick, Taunton, Weymouth, Lincoln-Sudbury, Westford Academy and Needham were chosen Division 1 Stars of the Week by the Boston Herald this past week, along with Everett High School football senior wide receiver Damien Lackland. Nominating Lackland to high school football’s honor roll list was easy after his five-touchdown performance against visiting Medford last Friday night, which propelled his teammates to a 41-6 victory. It was the team’s fourth Greater Boston League of the year in as many games, and they are 5-1 overall. As of Oct. 17, the Crimson Tide is ranked 16th P in Division 1 with just two regular season games left before the playoffs begin in early November. The Top 16 teams in each division make the postseason. First-year Crimson Tide head coach Justin Flores didn’t take long to figure out what type of skilled player Lackland is once he was officially named to the position by the school committee in early July, and now the rest of the state is just beginning to catch up. “Damien is a tremendous Tide girls’ soccer bounces back to beat Lynn English after losing to Revere, Reading By Joe McConnell O n Oct. 12, the Everett High School girls’ soccer team (5-9) lost to Greater Boston League rival Revere, 3-1. Despite the loss, Crimson Everett’s Damien Lackland is shown breaking through the BC High defensive line during the Tide’s Homecoming win over the Eagles. Lackland was picked as a Boston Herald Division 1 Stars of the Week this past week. (Advocate file photo) running back,” Flores said. “Teams may be fooled by his size, but he runs with a lot of power and heart. He rarely ever goes down on first contact, and is also one of the smartest players on the field. “The (offensive) line did a good job, along with Damien in executing some schemes that we put into the gameplan to beat the (Medford) defense on the perimeter,” added Flores. “Nothing really changed for us as an offense, and we will continue to be efficient as much as possible, while winning the numbers game at the line of scrimmage.” Flores credited the offensive line for Lackland’s touchdown scoring barrage that also included 19 carries for 133 yards. To say the 3-3 Mustangs has seen enough of Lackland would be an understatement. The Everett coach also mentioned the contributions of several other skilled positions on this talented roster that played significant roles in the win against Medford. “Besides (Jayden) Prophete (2 catches, 23 yards) and (Christian) Zamor (1 catch, 7 yards), Dom Papa has also stepped up, along with (Jaysaun) Coggins (3 catches, 40 yards), which made us more dynamic in both our running and passing games,” said FOOTBALL | SEE PAGE 24 Tide field hockey drops close decision to rival Malden By Joe McConnell T he Everett High School field hockey team (3-9) played just one game last week, and the Tide ended up falling to Greater Boston League rival Malden in a close encounter on the road, 3-0. Cephas Orleus was Everett’s honorary game captain. “We were fired up for this game, because it was their Senior Night, and as a result it was a great match-up,” said first-year Everett coach Sabrina Wright. “This game featured two evenly skilled teams against each other. We get along really well with their coaches, and we’re hoping the relationship continues to build between both programs over the next few years.” Malden scored a goal late in the first quarter to break the scoreless tie. Throughout most of the game, it was just a volley separating us from their end to our end until the fourth quarter, when we let up their two insurance goals, which secured the win for them.” The final score was not indicative on how well the visitors played, according to Wright. “Similar to us, Malden has a team consisting of mostly boys, so watching this game was fun, because the boys on both our teams don’t get tired,” added Wright. “It was a race to the ball, and a race to the goal, and it was really fun. I can’t wait to play them again later this month at home on Oct. 28, and hopefully at that time we will end up on top.” The Crimson Tide have since gone on to blitz non-league foe Greater Lowell on Monday, Oct. 16, 8-0. Caden Sylva and Orleus led the way on offense with three goals apiece. Malaica Guillume and Meghan Currie accounted for the other two scores. It was Currie’s first marker of the season. Everett then faced nonleague Northeast Voke on Oct. 18 after press deadline, before they head to Waltham to play the Hawks later today (Oct. 20) at Leary Field, starting at 4:15 p.m. It’s the second meeting of the year between both teams. The Hawks defeated the locals the first time around way back on Sept. 6 in the opening game of the season at home, 5-0. The Tide is ranked 48th in the Division 2 power rankings, as of Oct. 17. The Top 32 teams make the state tournament, and with still six regular season games left on the schedule there’s still a chance Everett can move up with a late surge. Teams with a .500 or better record that finish below the Top 32 squads must then participate in a play-in game, before moving on to the postseason. Norwood (13-1), Reading Memorial (13-1), Somerset-Berkley Regional (12-01), Minnechaug (11-1-1) and Hopkinton (9-3-2) are currently the Top 5 Division 2 clubs. Tide Coach Dom Persuitte had no problem with the effort of his team. “Our aggressive play was fantastic across the board,” he said. “Emilia Maria-Babcock was tremendous in goal, while Aldrona Flores set up our lone goal. She headed the ball down to Layla Cardona, who in turn ripped it over the keeper’s head.” Layla Leles, Sofia Arana-Quintanilla, Luna Sepulveda Maselli, Shyann Ambersley, Maria Silvestri and Casey Martinez also stood out in this game, according to the coach. On Oct. 16, the Tide dropped a 4-0 decision to non-league Reading. Persuitte praised the efforts of Maria-Babcock, who was once again fantastic in her new role as the team’s starting goalkeeper. She was able to keep her teammates close on the scoreboard during this game that was dominated by the Rockets. The Everett girls got back on the winning track earlier this week against host Lynn English at Lynn’s Manning Field, 6-0 on Oct. 17. More on this game will be in next week’s Everett Advocate. They also took on Lynn Classical at home yesterday (Oct. 19) after press deadline, before heading to Medford’s Hormel Stadium Monday night (Oct. 23) to face the Mustangs at 6 p.m. They will then have four games left on the regular season schedule. The Crimson Tide was ranked 50th in the Division 1 power rankings, before the win over Lynn English was calculated into the standings. The Top 32 teams qualify for the state tournament. Teams with a .500 or better record that finish below the Top 32 squads must then participate in a play-in game, before moving on to the postseason. Bishop Feehan (12-0-1), Natick (10-1-1), Hopkinton (13-0-0), Wellesley (11-3-0), Franklin (121-0) and Winchester (12-1-0) are right now the Top 6 Division 1 clubs.

Treasured wife of the late Sal DiDomenico. Beloved daughter of the late John and Dora (Olivero) Apruzzese. Devoted mother of Senator Salvatore DiDomenico and his wife Tricia, Lisa Lavoie, Brenda Giunta and her husband Joseph, Allison DiDomenico and her fiancé Jonathan Killeen. Cherished grandmother of Emma, Lindsey, Matthew, Salvatore, Marissa, Hailey, Olivia, Ava and Amelia. Loving sister of Lucille Barrett, her late husband Leo, of Saugus and Vincent Apruzzese, his wife Beverly, of Burlington. Dear sister-in-law, aunt, cousin and friend to so many. Marie was born on June 17th in Chelsea, MA. She met the love of her life, Sal, at Moseley’s on the Charles and they never stopped dancing. They married in 1970 and spent over 50 glorious years together. In October of 1969, Marie and Sal proudly opened the doors to Flowers by Sal, which became a pillar in the East Cambridge community. Marie was the backbone of their family business. The flower shop wasn’t just a flower shop, but it was also a place where family and friends gathered. Because of their love of traveling, they also opened and operated Jet-A-Way Travel for many years. Here they brought customer’s vacation plans to life and where they were known for their many bus tours. Marie & Sal raised four children and Marie was the best mom. In their early years, she was involved in the PTO at their school, here is where she met her lifelong best friends. Marie was the most devoted, generous, patient and loving mother and Nonni. Her love of cooking was known by all. She went on to teach her grandchildren her secret recipes, but most importantly for her legendary pasta sauce. She loved her grandchildren, being their Nonni was her pride and joy. Seeing them happy made her happy. She was the most selfless woman and had a special bond with each and every one of them. She spent many years babysitting and loved every second of it! She loved her family and always put them before herself, as she did with everyone she met. She knew that the most valuable thing in life was family and treasured every moment with them. She loved family gatherings, holiday celebrations (where she’d cook for three times the amount of food than those that were coming for dinner), annual trips to Disney, cruises, Europe and most recently their trip to Hawaii and California. She radiated joy that entire trip. She beamed as she watched her children become adults and her family continue to grow, passing on her traditions to the next generation. Marie loved all things fancy: jewelry, high heel shoes, sunglasses, glitter and glitz. She sparkled from the inside out. Marie also devoted her life to the S.S. Cosmas and Damian Society, in Cambridge, where she was a beloved member, Counselor and Treasurer. She kept the society’s feast, banquets and annual traditions alive for more than 5 decades. Due to her strong faith and devotion to the Saints, she and her husband brought the annual feast to new heights and made it one of the largest events in the community. She was also a longtime member of the Dante Alighieri Society, Sons of Italy Greater Boston Renaissance Lodge and member of the Pirandello Lyceum. She and her husband were fixtures in the Italian American community. She was also honored and given awards by these organizations for her true dedication and received the ‘key to the city’ of Cambridge. She put her whole heart into everything she did. Marie was the most gentle and kind woman, who never said a negative word. Everyone she met felt the glow of her warmth and kindness. In 2001, the city recognized her many years of service to the community by dedicating a square to Marie and her husband, on the corner where their flower shop is located. She is an unforgettable presence. Marie was strong beyond measure and proved that more than ever over these past 2 years. Many say she must have a superhero cape in her closet. She faced every challenge with courage and a smile. She wanted everyone else to be okay. And she had the ability to make everyone feel just that. This explains the kind of person she was. She is a true inspiration to her nine grandchildren. She has taught her family more about strength in these past 2 years than one can learn in a lifetime. Marie was always there for everyone, and each day she showed how much she loved her family. She was a great friend to so many, and you were better for having known her. Her warm smile, calming presence, welcoming way and laugh will be missed beyond measure.

Ocotober 20, 2023 LEGAL NOTICE City of Everett PLANNING BOARD 484 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 A Grantor Trusts Grantor Trust is a trust in which one or more “donors” or “other persons” are treated as “owning” all, or a portion of, a trust for federal income tax purposes. The donor is often referred to as the settlor or the grantor as well. The applicable tax law is found in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Sections 671 through 679 (the “Grantor Trust Rules) and the corresponding regulations thereunder. Assets owned by a Grantor LEGAL NOTICE EVERETT PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Hearing on a Proposed Zoning Amendment Section 33 – “Commercial Triangle Economic Development District” – of the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance The Everett Planning Board will conduct a public hearing on Monday, November 13, 2023 at 6:00PM in the Speaker George Keverian Room (Room 37, Everett City Hall) to consider a proposed Amendment to Section 33 of the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance. This proposed amendment is as follows: To amend Section 33(E)(1), “Uses Allowed by Right”, to add a new subsection 33(E)(1)(f) – “Multifamily residential developments; provided that the maximum building height is 3-stories, or thirty-five (35) feet.” To amend Section 33(E)(2), “Uses allowed by special permit from the planning board”, to delete the existing 33(E)(2)(a) – “Multifamily residential developments; provided, that the minimum density of such a development shall be fifty (50) units per acre, which density requirement shall be prorated based upon the size of the development parcel.” In making this change, all subsequent existing subsections shall be re-sequenced [33(E)(2)(b) shall be re-sequenced to 33(E)(2)(a); 33(E)(2)(c) shall be re-sequenced to 33(E)(2)(b), etc.]. To amend Section 33(F) “Dimensional Requirements”, (5) “Height” by adding the following bolded language to the existing language: “Height. Multifamily (non-mixed-use) residential developments shall be limited to a maximum height of thirty-five (35) feet. All other buildings shall be limited to a maximum of eighty-five (85) feet. Other structures on the roof shall not count towards the height unless the area of such structures exceeds thirty-three percent (33%) of the area of the roof or any enclosed structure or mechanical equipment exceeds twelve (12) feet in height. The height of any building may be increased to a maximum of one hundred (100) feet upon the grant of a special permit.” All persons interested in or wishing to be heard on the proposals may attend and participate in person. This proposed amendment, along with all other projects to be discussed at the meeting, can be found on the posted Agenda at the following link: http://www.cityofeverett.com/AgendaCenter.

Frederick Cafasso Chairman October 13, 20, 2023 Trust may be included or excluded from the decedent’s estate for federal estate tax purposes. The determination of whether or not those assets will be included in the donor’s estate depends on the provisions found in the trust instrument itself. In order for the assets of the Grantor Trust to be excluded from the decedent’s estate, the transfer of assets into the trust must be considered to be a “completed” gift, and the donor must not retain one of the prohibited powers or interests as set forth in IRC Sections 2036, 2037, 2038, 2041 and 2042. An example of a power retained under IRC Section 2036 is a right to use, occupy and possess the real estate that was transferred to the trust. In that situation, the entire value of the property would be includible in the donor’s estate for estate tax purposes upon his or her death. Not a problem for federal estate tax purposes so long as the decedent’s estate is less than $12.92million. The Massachusetts estate tax exemption has increased from $1million to $2million just several weeks ago. You should also note the federal gift tax exemption is $12.92million and that Massachusetts has no gift tax. Therefore, a parent can gift $500,000 to a child one day before dying thereby reducing the gross estate from $2.5million to $2million and completely avoid the Massachusetts estate tax. Regardless of whether the transfer to a trust is treated as a completed gift for federal gift tax purposes, or whether the trust assets are to be included in the donor’s estate for federal estate tax purposes, the federal “income tax” result is the same: Each donor of a Grantor Trust is taxed on all of the income, deductions, gains, losses and credits of the trust assets to the extent that the donor is treated as the owner of the trust. Therefore, you look to the Grantor Trust Rules in order to determine who owns the assets of the trust for federal income tax purposes. This determination of ownership, however, is not to be confused with the tax treatment of the trust for federal “gift” and “estate” tax purposes, or who may own the trust assets for state property law purposes. IRC Section 671 provides the general rule that a donor or some other person who is found to be an “owner” of all or a portion of a trust must report and pay tax on the portion of the trust that the donor (or such other person) is treated as owning. Sections 673 through 679 (with the exception of Section 678) provide specific rules that cause a “donor” to be treated as an “owner” of all or a portion of a trust. Section 678 deals with the situation in which someone other than the donor is treated as the owner. There must also be a gratuitous transfer to the trust for the Grantor Trust Rules to apply. The Ownership Rules will usually apply when a donor is deemed to have a specific interest or power over a trust. A donor may be treated as owning all or a portion of the “income” of a trust. Also, a donor may be treated as owning all or a portion of the “principal” of a trust. Why is all of this important? It is the Grantor Trust Rules that provide the answers as to where to report the Trust’s gross income, capital gains or losses, deductions or tax credits: on a trust income tax return or on the individual income tax return of the donor. Since there are so many trusts that have been executed and funded, it is important to understand the corresponding tax implications. Joseph D.
