Because the change requires an amendment to the City Charter, the matter still needs to be approved by the state legislature. Therefore, President Rosa DiFlorio said DeMaria will continue his virtual Listening Tour with the next session scheduled for December 1 at 6 p.m. Ward 3 Councillor Anthony DiPierro said there is no harm in giving DeMaria a vote on the School Committee. “We’re not handing the School Committee to the mayor,” he said. “We’re giving the mayor one vote.” Despite his previous quarrels with DeMaria, Ward 6 Councillor Michael McLaughlin said the mayor, whomever that may be, deserves a seat on the School Committee. However, Ward 1 Councillor Fred Capone said the question should have been put on the ballot. “We have done a disservice to the voters tonight,” he said. Councillor-at-Large Gerly Adrien also disagreed with the vote. “We’re putting the Carlo DeMaria Mayor priorities of our mayor first,” she said. In addition, the council voted 7-4 to change the city’s election format. However, the ordinance still failed as a two-thirds vote was required. Had it passed, the ordinance would have allowed ward candidates to run for office in their own wards rather than citywide. Therefore, residents in a particular ward would only vote for the candidates running to represent that ward. “I am shocked that this did not pass,” said DiFlorio. As with the prior vote, Capone said a Charter change needs to be decided by the VOTES | SEE PAGE 22 CATE Wednesday, November 25, 2020 Residents thank McKinnons, Kiwanis for Thanksgiving meals Lahcen Mzaouakk requested all vegetables at the Connolly Center last Friday.

Page 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2020 Rep. McGonagle, House pass balanced budget with targeted investments in housing, economic development and food security S tate Representative Joseph McGonagle along with his colleagues in the House of Representatives passed its Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) budget, which invests in programs and services across the Commonwealth. Funded at $46 billion, the House budget aims to address the sweeping effects of the global pandemic by making targeted investments in housing, food security, substance use addiction services, and domestic violence, sexual assault treatment and prevention programs. The budget also invests in programs that provide COVID-19-related supports for students and increases funding for developmental services. Aside from Chapter 70 and Unrestricted General Government Aid (UGGA), Everett received an additional $75,000 to help combat housing instability. “I am extremely pleased with how Everett made out in such a difficult and strange budget process,” said McGonagle. “Being able to afford rent or mortgages is a big concern in our community so having these new funds is tremendously helpful. I’m thankful for my close relationships with House leadership that helped us get this money. I’d especially like to thank Speaker DeLeo and Chair Michlewitz for their hard work in these tumultuous times.” The House continues to further its commitment to cities and towns by investing $1.1 billion in UGGA and providing $5.3 billion in Chapter 70 education funding. The House budget education allocations include: ● $53 million (M) in COVID-19-related student supports ● $340M for Circuit Breaker Special Education reimbursement ● $117M for Charter School reimbursement ● $82M for Regional School Transportation reimbursement Due to the pandemic, access to safe and affordable For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net housing for many families across the Commonwealth is threatened.

Wade.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2020 Page 3 High school players, fans going cold turkey with no Thanksgiving Day Football tomorrow COVID-19 has cancelled the entire HS slate this fall, including traditional holiday matchups By Steve Freker C old turkey’s going to take on a whole diff erent meaning in less than 24 hours, when people arise from their holiday slumber tomorrow morning and realize there is no high school football game to attend. When the reality sets in, that high-pitched wail you hear emanating from the greater Boston and North Shore region, particularly from such high school football strongholds as Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus, will be the sound of the thousands of folks who suddenly realize they have absolutely nothing to do until the mashed potatoes and gravy gets here. This is serious stuff here, folks. Everyone was well aware that there was not going to be a Thanksgiving football feast to complement the turkey and fi xings this year – we all got plenty of advance notice. But when reality really, truly arrives, sometime around 8 o’clock or so tomorrow morning, it is all over, close the curtains. There really, really is no Thanksgiving football game this year! In Malden, it means no game for the fi rst time since 1888! Their game with Medford is the second-oldest continuous rivalry in the nation, for goodness’ sake! Game #133 was supposed to be tomorrow. “Was” is the operative word. Not happening now, kids. How about in Revere? Tomorrow the Patriots were supposed to be meeting traditional rival Winthrop for the 92nd time. Oh, what a glorious day it will be in 2028 for the Centennial 100th meeting! Uh, wait a minute. That will be delayed a year, now. At least. And in Saugus? It would have been the 74th meeting with Peabody between the longtime Turkey Day foes. Last year the fi nal game in storied Sachem history was played at good old Stackpole Field as the new Saugus High includes a new football fi eld as well. Will this game now be played sometime next March? Will Saugus still get a home game to open its new fi eld in the fall of 2021? You need Agatha Christie to write the next chapter of this mystery. The pain in Everett will not be quite as severe, as the Crimson Tide was looking at a year without a Thanksgiving Day game anyway, as Masconomet, which had played Everett on Turkey Day the past couple of years, including a game at Fenway Park in fabled coach John DiBiaso’s fi nale, had pulled out of the relationship after three years. Not having any football all this fall season stung just as sharply as at the other schools, though. There will be the regular NFL games fl ooding the TVs tomorrow, of course, but it will not be even close to the same. High school football on Thanksgiving is oh, so much more than just going to the game – seeing old teammates, renewing friendships with former classmates and just getting out there and soaking it all in, whether your team wins or does not. How many of us see people at Thanksgiving football games and that is the only time we see them all year! Most of us? All of us? We cherish those moments so much and we look forward to them all year. Thanksgiving Day football matters. It really does, and now it is simply not going to happen because of COVID-19, a sinister thief over which we have no control. This is going to be a very tough loss in a year in which we have already lost so much. Now we know exactly how Charlie Brown feels the second after Lucy pulls the ball away. Thankful. Grateful. Inspired. At Members Plus, we feel truly blessed to be part of such a great community of hard working, real people. We are proud and honored to be your community credit union. Happy Thanksgiving!

In order to support programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the House budget increases funding for developmental services to $2.1 billion and includes $264M for community day and work programs across the Commonwealth. The House budget also includes the following investments: ● $236M for state-operated residential services ● $78M for family respite services ● $39M for autism omnibus services The budget furthers the House’s ongoing commitment to fi ght the opioid epidemic. To help those who are battling substance addiction, the budget increases funding for the Bureau of Substance Addiction Services to $162M while off ering continued support for stepdown recovery services, jail diversion programs, and expansion of access to life-saving medication. The House budget includes funding for the judiciary and ongoing criminal justice reform, including a $761M investment in the trial court and $20M to implement criminal justice reform. The budget also includes: ● $24M for civil legal aid to provide representation for low-income individuals via the Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation ● $9.6M for a new, community-based reentry program ● $4M for a pre- and post-release services grant program The House calls for $302M in spending for environmental programs, which aims to protect the Commonwealth’s natural resources. These investments include: ● $50M for state parks and recreation ● $40M for the Department of Environmental Protection ● $16M for fi sheries and wildlife protection ● $8.1M for agricultural resources ● $2.1M for ecological restoration ● $500,000 for the Commonwealth’s endangered species program On November 12 the House passed the FY21 budget, 14314. On November 18 the Senate passed its version of the budget, 39-0. On November 23 the House appointed a Conference Committee to reconcile the differences between the Senate budget and the version passed by the House of Representatives.                 some of the remarkable organizations based in and serving the people of Everett,” said Ted McEnroe, spokesperson for The Boston Foundation. “To date, The Boston Foundation has awarded at least $400,000 from our COVID-19 Response Fund to Everett-based organizations – more if you include organizations that may be based in other communities but include Everett in their service area.” The $1.6 million is a part of an overall $10 million thrust from the state’s Community Foundations Grant Program for COVID-19 Relief. In addition to The Boston Foundation, grants were awarded to 13 other organizations throughout Massachusetts. “Since the onset of the pandemic, the House has worked to provide relief to the most vulnerable among us with funding for housing, food security, unemployment benefi ts and economic development,” said House Speaker Robert DeLeo. “Our communities need support during these unprecedented times, and these investments will go into the hands of groups that directly serve those in need across the Commonwealth.” Senate President Karen Spilka said the timing is crucial as the state faces a new wave of COVID-19 cases. “As Massachusetts experiences a second COVID-19 surge, there are so many people suff ering and in need of help,” she said. “Our priorities in the Senate have been to provide immediate access to emergency food support, mental health support, rental and utility assistance, emergency childcare, educational support, and emergency fi - nancial support for individuals with COVID. We are fortunate to be able to work with outstanding community partners, such as Foundation for MetroWest, to provide these critical resources in a timely and eff ective manner.” In addition to the Community Foundations Grant Program for COVID-19 Relief, the Baker-Polito Administration launched the Food Security Infrastructure Grant Program in May to combat food insecurity. Since then, more than $17.7 million has been awarded to support the state’s fi shermen and farmers.                         Prices subject to change HAPPY FALL!

Woodward golf tournament and the 5K Walk for Ersilia, all to raise money to provide scholarships for Everett students. Everett Kiwanis provides 12 scholarships annually ranging from $1,000 to $2,000,” said Mitchell. Nursing home or your home? Know your options.

Breetika Maharjan, Alyssa Hurley and Lakisha Kirnon, students in Anna Seiders’ math and engineering classes, created Speckles: The COVID-19 Fighter. The app offers a host of features ranging from the current number of positive cases in the city to a 24/7 hotline for anyone suffering from anxiety or loneliness. “In a district that is nearly 100 percent remote; developing authentic learning experiences feels almost insurmountable. This project could not have come at a more perfect time,” said Seiders. “Not only did it fit perfectly in my curriculum, but it also allowed my students to engage in a real world problem that drastically impacts their community. To be able to integrate the COVID-19 pandemic into our class and give my students an opportunity to discuss, design and develop meaningful solutions was so powerful. This applied learning project was a meaningful way for them to see how what they learn in class directly affects their neighborhood as well as inspire them to consider different STEM career pathways for their futures.” Seiders lauded the efforts of her three juniors that resulted in the first place finish. “I am extremely proud that my students came up with such a valuable product for their community,” said Seiders. “During the time of virtual learning, everything is hard and new. Collaboration has never been more challenging, but yet they surpassed all barriers. All of my students learned a lot through this activity.” A Boston civil engineer was also impressed with the design of Everett’s COVID-19 app. “This app goes above and beyond the task of contact tracing, devising a comprehensive view of how to flatten the curve,” he said. “I would absolutely download this app and feel confident that my community would be safer as a result.” Everett and other top teams in the competition will have the opportunity to pursue further collaboration with experts at IBM iX, Dell Technologies, the New England Aquarium, Partners In Health and Bionic Project, Inc. “The projects submitted for the STEM Week Challenge reinforce how effective applied learning is when it comes to engaging students and driving authentic learning,” said Katherine Skrivan, director of Mass STEM Hub. “We’re proud of all the students who took their learning to the next level by submitting their projects for review and feedback by STEM professionals.” City tree lightings slated for Dec. 3 M ayor Carlo DeMaria will be remotely conducting the city’s annual Christmas Tree Lightings on Thursday, December 3. This year’s festivities that we all look forward to have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There will be trees lit at the Everett Housing Authority, Wehner Park and Everett Square. However due to the pandemic, these events will be closed to the public and shared virtually on Facebook Live. “Christmastime is a wonderful time of the year and I am excited to begin the Christmas season with our Tree Lightings,” said DeMaria. “This year has been challenging for our community and I hope lighting our trees can provide a small glimmer of hope. It is truly unfortunate we cannot welcome the community to join us for the festivities; however, health and safety come first.” The Tree Lightings will take place during the evening hours on December 3. Below is the schedule for the events: ● Everett Housing Authority (381 Ferry St.) at 4 p.m. ● Wehner Park (Broadway and Lynn Street) at 5:30 p.m. ● Everett Square (Broadway) at 7 p.m. Residents are welcome to visit the mayor’s Facebook page, @mayordemaria, during these scheduled times to participate.

(Courtesy Photos) City Life/Vida Urbana ready for “tsunami of evictions” By Christopher Roberson W ith Governor Charlie Baker refusing to reinstate the Eviction Moratorium, City Life/Vida Urbana has promised to do everything possible to keep residents in their homes. “We are expecting a tsunami of evictions,” said Gabrielle René, a City Life community organizer, during a virtual forum on November 20. She said that 25 percent of tenants who are behind on rent expect to be evicted within the next two months. René also said Baker’s Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) program only covers 25 percent of rental expenses. “Whatever solution Governor Baker is offering through RAFT is not helping,” she said, adding that tenants usually wait up to eight weeks before they receive a decision from the state. However, the Baker-Polito Administration has added $100 million to RAFT, which makes tenants and property owners eligible for assistance up to $10,000. In addition, René said Housing Court is open five days a week with three eviction hearings happening every hour from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. “The system is trying to evict our families; they’re betting on you not knowing what’s going on,” she Katie McCann City Life/Vida Urbana said. “Those who come to City Life have been beaten down by the system. We believe that housing is a human right. Even though you don’t own the property, it is your home.” Therefore, René emphasized that City Life has a myriad of resources at its disposal, including partLike us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma nerships with Greater Boston Legal Services and the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. “We have 47 years of experience fighting for families,” she said. “We are very visible.” Katie McCann, also a City Life community organizer, said tenants can apply for protection under the eviction moratorium from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). She said that moratorium will Gabrielle René City Life/Vida Urbana remain in effect until December 31. To be shielded from eviction by the CDC, tenants must send a declaration form to the property owner, preferably before they receive a Notice to Quit. In addition, there are five criteria that tenants must meet in order to qualify. However, McCann urged tenants not to assume that they are ineligible for the CDC moratorium. “That’s something for a judge to determine,” she said. “Only a judge can evict you.” McCann also said City Life is pushing for housing stability legislation – H.5018, An Act to guarantee housing stability during the COVID-19 emergency and recovery. Should the bill be signed into law, it would put a ban on evictions and foreclosures for one year following the end of the State of Emergency.

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2020 No Thanksgiving football for Everett By Greg Phipps B y now, the Everett High School football team may have been pursuing a 13th state title had the 2020 season played out as planned. The Crimson Tide have been a perennial state Super Bowl contender over the past two decades, with 12 state championships on their resume – the most recent in 2017. But Thanksgiving Day this year will be one without football, as the fall season was cancelled statewide due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Crimson Tide will have to wait until next year to resume their Turkey Day battle with the Masconomet Chieftains. Everett has gone 5-0 in its holiday meetings against Masco, including last year’s 41-7 victory at Veterans Memorial Stadium. That was the first home Thanksgiving game for Everett since 2011 when the Tide won the last-ever game against Cambridge Rindge & Latin. That holiday series ended after 2011, and Everett remained idle on Thanksgiving until resuming a new series against Masco in 2016. The decision to cancel high school football statewide this fall came back in August, when the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) delayed the fall start and approved a gridiron season that would commence this coming February and run through April. If the season does actually take place – dependent on the status of the pandemic at that FOOTBALL | SEE PAGE 17 2019 EHS Crimson Tide Football Team Coaches: Shown in the back row, left to right: Vondell Langston, MacClure Powell, Mike Ruth, Head Coach Theluxon Pierre, Chris Miller, Rob Doherty, and Claudy St. Juste.

Lynn Classical and Lynn English cleared to join GBL in 2021 NEC votes 12-0 to let “Lynns” leave league as of June 2021 By Steve Freker A nd then there were EIGHT! That’s how many teams are now in the fold as the Greater Boston League (GBL) got the great news it had been waiting for on Friday morning when officials learned that Lynn Classical High School and Lynn English High School will be officially joining the GBL as full members beginning in June 2021. The final hurdle was passed Friday when the Northeastern Conference (NEC) principals voted unanimously, 12-0, to approve the petition of the two Lynn high schools to leave the NEC immediately, without a potential two-year wait period. The Bulldogs of Lynn English and the Rams of Lynn Classical will be ready for competition as “GBLers” for the fall season of the 2021-22 school year. The addition of the two Lynn schools, which officially came about in lightning fashion, in a span of just two weeks, bolsters the GBL to eight teams, the largest the league has been since the early 2000s. The league already includes Everett, Malden, Medford, Revere, Somerville and Chelsea (rejoining the GBL in the fall of 2021). The addition of Lynn Classical and Lynn English in June will make it an eightt eam league . M a n y ar ound the re - gion have stated that with the addition of the two Lynn schools the GBL will become the top urban-based high school league in Massachusetts. There has been talk of the Lynn Classical football celebrated a 22-9 Thanksgiving win over archrival Lynn English last year. (Courtesy Photo) two Lynn schools picked up steam when it became known they had officially petitioned the NEC to leave the league in which they had been charter members for over 30 years. On November 13, the GBL two Lynn teams coming in the GBL ever since the four GBLers – Everett, Malden, Medford and Somerville – indicated they’d like to end their brief, two-year pilot program stay in the NEC at the end of the 2018-2019 school year. Revere quickly left the NEC and joined the GBL midway through the summer of 2019 as the league grew to five members. The move of the Board officially voted unanimously, 6-0, to officially welcome the two schools as members to join the GBL. “It was an easy decision and we are thrilled as a league that Lynn Classical and Lynn English wanted to become part of the Greater Boston League,” Malden High School Principal and GBL President Chris Mastrangelo said at the time of the Lynn English girls’ basketball played Lynn English in a rivalry matchup last year.

Moving forward, we believe the GBL will be the premier urban-based league in Massachusetts.” Immediately, the GBL becomes stronger in basketball as the Lynn English boys basketball team is the two-time defending MIAA Division 1 State Champion. The Bulldogs are also highly competitive in boys and girls soccer and track. Classical has been solid in football, soccer, boys basketball and baseball in the past several years. Both of the Lynn schools’ athletic directors were pleased with the vote and the new move to the GBL. “We’re incredibly excited to join the GBL,” said Lynn Classical Athletic Director Bill Devin. “We feel that this really is the best fit for both sides, and we’re still going to look forward to scheduling and playing our NEC foes in our non-conference games going forward.” “I’m glad to see the league [NEC] went with this and made it a smooth transition,” said Lynn English Athletic DirecJOIN | SEE PAGE 17

This is going to be a great thing for everyone involved,” Newton added. The GBL and the two Lynn teams had already been planning on being scheduling partners in the now planned “Fall 2” athletic season, February 22-April 25, for boys and girls soccer, volleyball, field hockey and cross-country. The Lynn schools missed out on this past fall season since the community was consistently listed in the high-risk “Red” designation for COVID-19 transmission and not allowed to compete in interscholastic sports. The rest of the NEC went ahead without them and played a fall season in everything but football, much to their dismay. But the GBL schools stepped up and offered the two Lynn schools scheduling dates. “It’s a great fit, for many reasons,” said Malden High Athletic Director Charlie Conefrey, who serves as GBL Commissioner. He is also a member of the MIAA Board of Directors and is MIAA District 5 regional director. “Both of the Lynn schools, as well as Chelsea, which joins the GBL as a full member next fall, are similar in demographics and diversity as our present league schools.” “We will be a much stronger league. Malden and all the other GBL schools are very excited about this expansion and are really looking forward to what lies ahead,” Conefrey said. To Whom It May Concern: application for zoning relief.

Everett finished 8-3 in 2019, suffering a particularly tough two-point overtime loss in the playoffs against Lawrence. Last year’s Turkey Day affair was well worth the eightyear wait to bring holiday football back to Veterans Memorial, as the Tide romped over the Chieftains, 41-7. The result was a bit of a surprise given that the Chieftains advanced to the Div. 3 North semifinals and seemed prepared to make it a competitive contest. Masco produced a 78-yard drive to tie the game at 7-7. But it was all Everett from there. The Tide would score three straight touchdowns to enter the half up 28-7.

During his four years in the Navy, he was able to see a lot of the world, including the Panama Canal, Lima, Peru, Reykjavik, Iceland, and his favorite place, Auckland, New Zealand. He loved the Navy, and although not a big football fan until later in his life, he always paid attention to the Army-Navy game results. After his military service, he was given a nickel for expenses to get back home from his base in Charlestown. He kept it and walked home! Upon return, he immediately went back to work in construction, operating heavy equipment, including plowing City roads during the winter but mostly favored the more demanding work with stone, brick, and concrete. After working for a few diff erent construction companies over a little more than a decade, he founded Frank Noel Masonry, which he owned and operated for over 40 years in the greater Malden area. During that time, Frank never worked with a contract. Every job was agreed upon and completed with a handshake. He was a former member of the First Lutheran Church of Malden. Frank spent his free time traveling around the Boston area, visiting his large family, and always helping others with their home improvement projects, except for a marquee trip to Alaska with his late wife June. After retirement, Frank spent a handful of winters in the Sun Belt, traveling when he could to see his siblings. An experienced chess player and billiards player, Frank also enjoyed cribbage, jig-saw puzzles, bingo, bowling, horseshoes, browsing the fl ea markets, and going to the horse tracks with his brother, “Law.” Not surprisingly, he was a devoted Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy watcher. He also developed a love of black-jack and craps, with regular trips to the casinos, including Las Vegas. Following his fi rst-ever in-person Patriots game and tailgate, several seasons back, Frank became a skilled “bags” or cornhole player, always looking forward to outdoor gatherings where he could challenge others to a friendly game. He became an avid walker, walking three-four miles every day, including even the week before his passing, with his favorite spots being Lynn Shore Drive and Breakheart Reservation. Frank’s reliable red Ford pickup truck was always close. His long love of Fords even inspired his later love of NASCAR and Ford driver, Joey Logano, the “red” and yellow #22 car that he cheered on most Sunday afternoons. Frank was a true patriot. He was a former member of the Malden V.F.W and loved the American Flag and what it stood for. He is survived by his nephew John Noel, Jr., dear friend Stephanie McArdle, his daughter, Debra Noel Richardson, son, Frank Noel, sister Elizabeth Noel Campbell Dickeson, brothers Arthur Noel, Lawrence Noel, George Noel, John Noel, and Joseph Noel, six step-children with a special mention to Phillip Constantino, dozens of nieces and nephews with a special mention to Linda Gignac Warner, dozens of grandchildren and great-grandchildren and dozens of beloved in-laws, with special mention to Phyllis Constantino, and some who have passed. He was also the husband of the Late June Noel of Melrose, where they made their home for almost 35 years, and brother of the late Janet Noel Mooney and his beloved, Evelyn Noel Gignac. He will be missed by many friends he met along the way, including those over the past five-plus years playing cribbage several times a week, visiting various senior centers to play bocce ball, or traveling in a senior billiard circuit within Middlesex County. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to Mystic Valley Elder Services’ Meals on Wheels Program (300 Commercial Street, No. 19, Malden, MA 02148) www.mves. org/donate-now/.

Page 22 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2020 VOTES | FROM PAGE 1 residents. “Charter reform of this nature belongs with the voters,” he said. “I don’t think 11 people should make a decision for the city at-large. Let the voters make the choice.” Adrien said the matter had been “delayed way too long.” “It is crucially important that we have ward representation,” she said. Having pushed to change the election format for the past several months, Councillor-at-Large Wayne Matewsky said there was nothing left for him to do. “After tonight, I’m not going to speak on this anymore,” he said. “I’m just trying to fix something that appears to be flawed in the Charter.” He also reminded his colleagues of the potential legal consequences for not making the change. “It isn’t going to pass the court system; it hasn’t worked in other cities,” he said. In 2017, the City of Lowell was sued by a coalition of Asian American, Hispanic and Latino voters. They said the “use of citywide atlarge plurality elections for all seats on the City Council and School Committee illegally dilutes the voting power of minority voters.” Two years later, Lowell officials agreed to change the election format.
