ADVOCTE 617-387-2200 Carlo Demaria, Jr. vs. Everett Leader Herald, Sergio Cornelio, Joshua Resnek, matthew Philbin and Andrew Philbin, Sr. Former Leader Herald newspaper designer testifi es Philbin was in total control of newspaper’s content – in sharp contrast to Resnek’s testimony ua Resnek and owner Matthew Philbin, stated under oath that Philbin was truly in charge of the newspaper’s content from cover to cover during the years he worked from February 2020 to July 2022. Mahoney stated to Attorney Jeff rey Robbins that from the start, as the newspaper’s makeup man, he was in direct contact with Philbin via email several times a week, providing drafts of the newspaper edition and awaiting comments from Philbin prior to sending the fi - nal weekly draft to press. His testimony contradicts Philbin’s answer to the lawsuit where he claimed he was not involved in the review, editing and approval of the Leader Herald’s articles. “Every week you provided copies of the Everett Leader Herald to Mr. Philbin for his review prior to publication, correct?” asked Atty. Robbins. “That is correct,” replied Mahoney. And every week you would wait for Mr. Philbin’s comments or approval of the newspaper before it was published, correct?” “That is correct.” “And you sent the Leader Herald in draft form to Mr. Philbin so that he could review the paper and edit or approve it, correct?” continued Robbins. “That is correct,” replied Mahoney.

According to School Committee Vice Chairperson Michael McLaughlin, who represents ward 6, they deleted the line in the contract that Everett Public Schools “may obtain the services of police or investigative agency personnel” to conduct investigations into a student’s residence. Everett Public Schools can still request additional documentation or use the assistance of the school department’s attendance offi cers to conduct investigations into a student’s residence. In order to attend the Everett Public Schools, students must reside in the city. Students must submit evidence of residency – including a recent mortgage payment or property tax bill, copy of lease and recent rental receipt, residency certifi cation provided by the City Clerk’S Offi ce, or a section 8 or housing agreement – as well as evidence of occupancy, including an excise tax, gas, electric or home telephone bill that is dated within the past 30 days. Newcomer, refugee and homeless students are the sole exception, according to a federal law that requires equal access to a public education. All students must establish residency when they approach the third, sixth and ninth grades. All students entering the high school in grade 9 for the 2023-2024 academic year will be required to reestablish residency, according to Superintendent of Schools Priya Tahiliani. MARCHETTI CORP.

During public comment, Lynn Street resident Nancy Cianchetta, who doesn’t support an extension of the superintendent’s contract beyond June of next year, said residents have always been unifi ed, but she hasn’t felt that the city has been a community recently. “If our key issue is our students, will they be impacted by this political tension?” Cianchetta asked. “Recent events have made me very concerned and uncomfortable.” She referenced a recent mandatory Vine Street Everett Public Schools staff meeting, in which attendees had to sign up for a time slot. However, it wasn’t made clear why. “Stress was definitely felt by other staff and students,” Cianchetta said. “Some staff members requested exit interviews because of pay issues – others said they didn’t feel safe here; then, they were denied exit interviews.” What was also troubling was when high school students were offered three hours of community service for attendEVALUATION | SEE PAGE 11 and throughout the coming new year.” After the menorah was lit, all who attended were invited to enjoy music, latkes, doughnuts, dreidels, chocolate gelt and more.

(Advocate photos by Tara Vocino) By Tara Vocino T wo Phunk Phenomenon dancers will have an interesting time when they watch the movie premiere that they star in. Peabody resident Maya Sutton, 13, and Lynn resident Devin Woolridge, 37, are background dancers in the movie “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” produced by Clive Davis. The movie centers around the late R & B singer Whitney Houston and her husband, Bobby Brown of Boston’s New Edition fame. Wooldridge, whose dance is five minutes long (with 50 takes), said it was an amazing opportunity, getting the gig out of thousands of male dancers nationwide. “My mother, Robyn, grew up listening to [Houston],” Wooldridge said in the Everett studio on Tuesday. He has been dancing and teaching with Phunk Phenomenon for 14 years. His 1984 old-school hip-hop piece was filmed at the Wang Theatre in Boston’s theater district. Sutton also grew up listening to Houston. “It was an unexpected, exciting opportunity,” Sutton said. “My piece is jazz incorporated with hiphop.” She filmed her five-minute dance, also with 50 takes, at the House of Blues near Fenway Park. Sutton has been dancing with Phunk Phenomenon for six years. Her mother, Kathy Sutton, said they’re super excited for the opportunity and to see both dancers on the big screen. “I thank Reia for allowing her to be considered,” Kathy Sutton said. “I went to the House of Blues for the filming, and it was a cool experience to watch.” Phunk Phenomenon Director and Co-Founder Reia Connor submitted an application last November, and these two dancers were chosen for the part. “I feel very blessed and proud to have some of our dancers represent themselves and our company in a major movie for this beautiful icon,” Connor said. They plan to have a watch party at an Assembly Row theater soon.

They might not know our names or who we are, but they will know that there are people out there who care about them.” The DiDomenico Foundation is an all-volunteer organization and one of its primary missions is to distribute toys to children in homeless and domestic violence shelters, parishes and local schools. The Wong family, owners of Kowloon Restaurant, once again generously hosted this year’s toy drive at their restaurant. In addition, U-Haul Boston also donated all of the trucks to transport the toys.

She said if students don’t pass the MCAS exams, they won’t graduate with a high school diploma, leading to a decrease in salary over the course of their career. Student Representative Riley Avelar voiced her opinion on the comments made by Cianchetta. Avelar said the City Council meeting was shared on social media long before students knew that community service hours were offered. “I was never pulled out of class for anything related to the walkout,” Avelar said. “We saw something wrong and acted on it.” Third-grader Emily Soto sat on Santa’s lap. Avelar asked why it took a walkout for what she called a “racist official” to step down.

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, DECEmbER 23, 2022 Everett begins season on the road with winning results, despite lapses momentum swings catches up with the Tide against malden Tuesday night By Joe McConnell tive effort from the rest of the team that helped them secure T he Everett Crimson Tide boys’ basketball team has a winning record of 2-1 after three games, and that’s despite playing away from home, while also experiencing way too many momentum swings as in lead changes for coach Stanley Chamblin’s liking. The Tide defeated host Medford last Thursday, 60-45. They led by as many as 19 points, before the Mustangs roared back to trim the deficit to just seven. Steven Cordero paced the offensive attack with 25 points. He was Everett’s only double-digit scorer, but Chamblin liked the collectheir second straight triumph. “Collectively, we played very good defense, and our offense was spread out nicely among many players,” said the veteran Everett coach. But Chamblin didn’t like the momentum swings that continued to plague his players. The Tide had trouble holding onto the lead in the opener against Revere that they eventually won in overtime, and it was no different against Medford. “We have the height, speed and physicality to maintain leads throughout games, and I’m confident we’ll get that complete effort back again,” he said. “Everett basketball has always emphasized defense. That’s been our identity forever,” added Chamblin. “The schedule has definitely been a factor (no home games until Jan. 3 against Chelsea), but they also have to realize the importance of practice that sharpens up things we need to work on.” It all came into reality Tuesday night, when the Golden Tornadoes took advantage of Everett’s lapses to pin a 59-46 loss on them. “We weren’t assertive in this game,” said Chamblin, “and that included not being aggressive on the boards. And when you combined all of this, it’s definitely a recipe for disaster, and Malden did a good job capitalizing on it. Coach (Don) Nally effectively coached his guys up to overcome a 13-point deficit.” Kevin Ruiz, Anderson Joseph and Cordero led the team in scoring against Malden with 12 points apiece. Chamblin challenged his players after the Malden game to see how they will bounce back from the loss, and hopes it begins in practice with a more concerted focus on defense. “We have to learn how to apply the pressure on the opposition once we take the lead,” said Chamblin. The Everett boys hope to take what they had learned in practice this week to the annual BABC (Boston Amateur Basketball Club) Winter Tournament at Cathedral High School on Dec. 27 and 28. The Tide will face BC High at noon on Dec. 27, and then Jeremiah Burke High School the next day at the same time. Brookline, Springfield Central and host Cathedral are the other teams in this year’s tourney. Each team is guaranteed two games, except for the host club, and there won’t be any championship and consolation games to wrap up the proceedings. The tournament is designed to keep these squads sharp over the holiday break. Chamblain’s team will resume the Greater Boston League (GBL) schedule against aforementioned Chelsea in the home opener on Jan. 3, beginning at 7 p.m. Crimson Tide Co-Op hockey begins new season with positive results Talented Everett turns heads after competitive battle against perennial postseason contender medford By Joe McConnell n recent years, the Medford High School Hockey Mustangs have been a dominant team in the Greater Boston League. But only two games into this season, the Everett Crimson Tide co-op squad (11) is quickly sending a message to its opponents that they are not going to be taken lightly anymore. After defeating the Lynn Jets 8-1 to open up the season, Everett literally put a scare in the host Mustangs I RESNEK | FROM PAGE 1 “And that was per the instruction of Mr. Resnek and Mr. Philbin, correct?” “That is correct.” A liar’s liar Mahoney’s testimony greatly contradicts Resnek’s testimony that he gave under oath to Atty. Robbins during his fourth deposition on Sept. 1, 2022. “Mr. Resnek, as a general matter, every week for the last several years you have sent the drafts of the articles you plan to put into the Leader Herald for Mr. Philbin’s review and approval, correct?” asked Robbins. “No,” replied Resnek. Resnek was then asked to confirm if he received revilast Wednesday (Dec. 14) at the LoConte Rink, where they led after two periods, 4-3. At that point, Medford knew work had to be done to come away with two points. After scoring a couple of third-period power play goals, followed by one into the empty net, the Mustangs managed to escape with a 7-4 victory. Considering they blew away the Tide last year – also right before Christmas – to the tune of 11-1, the Medford boys now understand they will have to pay attention to Everett in sions and edits back from Philbin and his employees. Resnek stated, “Mainly his employees.” At one point, Resnek would attempt to lay blame on Philbin’s former vice president of operations, Elena Vega, claiming if he sent 12 stories to her for misspellings and editing, and then gave them to Philbin, “that’s her business.” Resnek noted that Vega had no newspaper or editorial experience – but routinely received, as Philbin’s “chief bottle washer” according to Resnek, drafts of articles. Robbins would also show Resnek exhibits of emails he sent of editorials as far back as 2019 to another newspaper makeup person named Alex Yates – as well as Matthew the standings throughout the next three months. First-year Everett head coach Craig Richards already knew what he had on the roster before the Medford game, but his club only reinforced his belief in them after last week’s game in Medford. “We’re still firing on all cylinders, even after this loss,” Richards said. “We have a deep, hardworking team that has a lot of talent this year, and we’re definitely on par with Medford after I was able to see a lot of positives that came Philbin. Following the Philbin Mahoney said that it was the regular practice that he observed while working for the newspaper between April 2020 and November 2021. Mahoney, who worked for many years for the Boston Herald, was represented at the deposition by attorneys provided by Philbin. Mahoney stated that during one of the few meetings he attended with Resnek at Philbin’s office on Railroad Avenue in Revere, he noted that the understanding of the newspaper’s content was to stay focused on town politics. When asked if the priority was to focus primarily on the mayor in a negative way, Mahoney said out of this game.” Mystic Valley’s Mike Brandano of Malden paced the offensive attack against Medford with two goals. Revere’s Frankie Annunziata and Mystic Valley’s Lucas Deguire accounted for one apiece. Revere’s Chris Cecca was the assist leader in this game with two. His schoolmate Matt Lacroix and Everett’s Cam Couto each setup one lamplighter. Goalie Ben Rosa of Malden was in net versus Medford. But he also had help from his defensive friends, specifically that – over the course of time working at the newspaper – it was clearly written in a critical manner. “And you discussed with Mr. Resnek or Mr. Resnek discussed with you the fact that the articles were focusing on Mr. DeMaria, correct?” asked Robbins. “Certainly,” replied Mahoney. “And Mr. Resnek, in various ways, indicated to you that the focus of the paper was being critical of Mr. DeMaria, correct?” “I think that’s pretty apparent, yes,” said Mahoney. When asked about the working dynamic between Resnek and Philbin, Mahoney stated that Resnek reported to Philbin on a regular basis throughout the process as he was part of the email traffic between ResEverett sophomore Andrew Crasco, who was one of the players of the game, according to the coach. “(Crasco) blocked six or seven shots in this game to help keep his teammates ahead or close on the scoreboard,” said Richards. The Everett boys are currently on holiday break after taking on Lynn again in the home opener on Dec. 21 after press deadline. They will resume the schedule against host Somerville on Jan. 4, starting at 5:30 p.m. nek and Philbin. “And you observed that Mr. Resnek waited for Mr. Philbin to edit or approve the articles before the newspaper went to bed, so to speak, correct?” asked the attorney. “That’s also correct,” replied Mahoney. Mahoney stated that, typically, Resnek would be sending drafts of the articles to Philbin via emails, which Mahoney was included in, on Monday and Tuesdays, followed by revised versions of the articles. By the end of the day Tuesday, Mahoney would send a mockup of the edition to Resnek and Philbin for editing and final approval before going to press. RESNEK | SEE PAGE 18

Mahoney said that once the paper was “edited to their standards” (Resnek’s and Philbin’s), only then would the final draft be released. “And then you would hear from Mr. Resnek or from Mr. Philbin that Mr. Philbin had approved it and it was ready to go?” asked Robbins. “Always from Mr. Resnek,” said Mahoney. “But he would tell you that Mr. Philbin had approved it, correct?” “That is also correct,” said Mahoney.
