Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2022 Marc Hilton and Chris Fabiano are October 2022’s Public Servants of the Month REVERE, MA – The Revere Department of Public Works and the Water and Sewer Department, despite their importance in city operations and residents’ daily lives, often goes overlooked by the general public. But let’s face it – every time there’s a storm, a water break, or even a fallen American fl ag on Broadway, Marc Hilton and Chris Fabiano are there for the City of Revere – even at the drop of a dime in the middle of the night. Marc Hilton, DPW Supervisor for the Water and Sewer Division, and Chris Fabiano, Supervisor for the DPW Parks and Open Spaces Division, embody what it means to be a Revere public servant.

Their love for their city and dedication to the work they do make Marc and Chris clear choices for this month’s Public Servant of the Month. Q: What does Revere mean to you? FABIANO: I grew up here all my life. Both sides of my family – my mother and my father – grew up in Revere. I went to school here, nowhere else. It’s nice being able to work in the City you grew up in – you see familiar faces and know what you’re doing aff ects those you care about. HILTON: I grew up in East Boston, but my wife lives in Revere and I’ve been here for about 20 years now. Q: How did you end up in this line of work? FABIANO: I did the summer  program down at the DPW yard when I was in high school and I always thought it was a great place to work back then. It was nice when I was able to come down here – I initially ended up in the Water Department and I never pictured myself doing that type of work but I took to it, enjoyed it, and enjoyed the guys I was working with. It’s definitely a diff erent type of work but it’s an important function. Then there was an opportunity to work in the Parks Department and I decided to make the jump. Marc Hilton (left) and Chris Fabiano (right) pose in front of Revere City Hall HILTON: My career started in construction right after high school. I was in the union for a lot of years, and when I saw in the paper the City of Revere was hiring, I said “why not work in the city I live in?” I landed in the Water Department and it was like second nature coming from construction. I didn’t work on water in the union but when I started in Revere, I learned a lot and I’ve been here ever since. Q: What’s the most rewarding part of your job? FABIANO: The Parks Department that I’m in now is very visible to the community. You can kind of see a start and an end result – whether it’s setting up events, cleaning up a park, or landscaping designs. So you can see work getting done with your vision. The Water Department is a lot of unseen work. People know when they have water and when they don’t – it’s defi - nitely an important function of this city. The reward is probably being able to work in the city that you grew up in, and see a lot of people you grew up with – it really is rewarding. HILTON: He hit it on the head! I mean, you’re working with a great group of people, which always make things easier. It’s a team eff ort – without us all it wouldn’t be possible. That’s the rewarding part for me. Q: What do you wish more people knew about the departments you work in? HILTON: With the Water Department, what a lot of people don’t know is that we don’t break the pipes – we’re just there to fi x them! Some people do get frustrated and understandably so – but a lot of times we’re the target of that frustration. But we do care and we love what we do. We are there to fi x things – it’s what we do. FABIANO: I want the residents to know that we do care about the work we do and how we leave jobs and what the city looks like. We want it to be a good refl ection of our city and our people. We really do care. SERVANTS | SEE Page 5

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2022 Page 3 Mayor responds to this year’s rising energy costs Advocate Staff Report A s energy costs are slated to rise substantially in the coming months, Mayor Brian Arrigo is taking several measures to educate residents and off er them ways to save on utility bills. The City of Revere is currently gathering educational materials from the state and the Mass Save program to provide residents with some ways to cut back on their energy expenses this coming winter. Additionally, there will be opportunities to attend informational sessions for those interested in purchasing electricity from a competitive supplier. These sessions will also provide residents with some tips on how to avoid scams associatsimilar to what many other surrounding communities have in place. “We are working diligently to help our residents through these unprecedented energy rate increases,” said Mayor Arrigo, “and having our own electricity aggregation program will provide our residents with more options and off er reliable competition.” Establishing a municipal agBRIAN ARRIGO Mayor ed with energy suppliers. At the upcoming City Council meeting on Monday, October 17, Mayor Arrigo will seek approval from the City Council to establish a community electricity aggregation program gregation program requires approval by the City Council and from the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities – a process that will take several months to complete.

Human Rights Commission meets for first time since June By Adam Swift T he city’s Human Rights Commission met for the fi rst time since June on Thursday, Oct. 6, and it was a decidedly sedate aff air compared to some of the contentious meetings that took place before the summer break. Commission Chair Janine Grillo Marra said there were several reasons for the long break between meetings, including the resignation of Commission Executive Director Dr. Maritsa Barros in the spring, as well as some confl icts in scheduling and clerical support. Barros also served as the city’s Chief Offi cer of Talent and Culture. “It was sad to see her go, but she got a really wonderful opportunity for her own advancement and was a good fi t for her personally as well as professionally,” said Marra. In addition, former state Representative Kathi Reinstein resigned from the Human Rights Commission due to a confl ict in scheduling, according to Marra. Once the commission got down to business, the members discussed possible next steps in having the city support changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day, while still celebrating people of Italian-American heritage in the city. Last year, the commission recommended the city change the name of the day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day, as many other communities in the state have. Marra noted that the Human Rights Commission is not a legislative body and cannot make changes on its own; however, she said, it can work with the city to see how changes could be made. “We are trying to learn more and trying to have conversations so that we can move in a direction where we can still celebrate Italians during October and Italian Heritage Month, and at the same time, move forward to be able to adopt attitudes where we can also honor the indigenous people that were the first people of this land,” said Marra. Marra said she would also like to see the commission dive into recent census data to help identify those people in Revere who have indigenous roots. “We need to include them and engage with them, and education needs to be done,” said Marra. In other business, the commission agreed that it would like to move forward with two separate banners designed by commission Vice Chair Chai Hossaini after a few tweaks are made to the banners. One banner would be used for website purposes and includes the Human Rights Commission’s entire mission statement with a background consisting of the fl ags of the world. A second banner could be printed for events and include the fl ags and a shortLike us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma er version of the mission statement. Dan 1972 R.Y.O.

The operator of the SUV, which is a ride-share vehicle, suff ered serious injuries. Preliminary investigation by Troopers indicated at at approximately 10 PM Saturday a Kenworth tow truck was northbound on I-93 in Boston. Simultaneously, 2007 Lexus RX400H SUV was traveling in front of the truck. South of Exit 20, the Lexus slowed for reasons still under investigation and was rear-ended by the tow truck.

By Sal Giarratani I don’t know about you but I always read Bob Katzen’s Beacon Hill Roll Call. I don’t know when I didn’t love politics and history. The two are intertwined together going back to the Pilgrims now 400 years ago. As a full-time substitute teacher now, after being on the job as a police offi cer for 28 years, I believe our young people in school need to be taught civics in the classroom and also know a thing or two about our nation’s history. We would have many more voters showing up at the polls if we educated our children in school on the sacrifi ces given over the generations to get us to where we are right now. There is still room to make us better tomorrow, but we can only make that happen if we know what is in our past. Today in public schools across America, students are asked to stand if they wish for the Pledge of Allegiance. ASKED TO STAND IF THEY WISH? Doing so is not indoctrination, it is understanding how lucky we all are living here. We should WANT to stand not as a meaningless gesture but as an affi rmation of who we are and what we believe. There is a lot of complaining today about our so-called jaded past. We are not members of a perfect nation. We do however continue to aspire for a nation with “liberty and justice for all.” Always our goal. We struggle hoping each succeeding generation moves us closer to bringing more life to those inspired words. There is a lot of confusion about our country’s greatness. Many today have decided to just b*^#@ about all the things we haven’t accomplished because we never live up to the words in that Pledge, or in historical documents like the Declaration of Independence or in the Bill of Rights. America is in constant change. Hopefully, we will always be changing and growing to being the very best that we can be. The America of 2022 is not the same as the America of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. History means learning from the past and moving beyond it but never forgetting it either – our journey to being better than what we were. We don’t have to be ashamed of anything in our past. We must learn from it as we progress onward into our future. Getting back to the designation of July 8 as Massachusetts Emancipation Day has nothing to do with those who would cancel culture but would add to our history. Back in my boyhood school days there were lots of things we were never taught. However, those things we didn’t know still happened. My dad always told me you never stop learning. There’s always something we don’t know yet. I never heard of Quock Walker. I grew up during the Civil Rights era. I even met Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as a 16-year-old, but Quock Walker was no one to me. I should have known about this person who helped render slavery unconstitutional here in my state. Our representatives up on Beacon Hill are moving H.3117 forward. Soon it will be voted on by the Senate and sent to the governor’s desk for a signature. Knowing more about how slavery was abolished in Massachusetts can only enrich all of us. The more we know, the better we are as America’s history moves on with or without our participation.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2022 Page 11 Better Business Bureau Tip: political scams expected to increase as midterm elections near A n election’s approach always seems to turn up the emotional heat across the nation, and the United States 2022 midterm elections are no exception. The voices arguing for and against hot-button issues are loud and persistent. And when emotions run high, bad actors look for ways to use peoples’ passion to trick them. Scammers prey on emotion. The more people care, the more vulnerable they can be. People participate in polls and surveys because they want to be heard, and scammers can use that desire to build trust. People donate because they want their candidate to win and to improve their country or community, and scammers are more than happy to take advantage of a competitive spirit or big heart. Elections are polarizing – there are winners and losers, fans and haters. It’s easy to get swept up in the moment and take risks you might otherwise avoid. At the Better Business Bureau (BBB), we can’t tell you how to vote, but we can tell you how to spot common cybersecurity threats so you don’t become a victim of scams. Check your email: It can seem like once a candidate or political party gets your email address, you hear from them every time you check your inbox. They need your help; they want to know your point of view through a poll or survey; they urge you to support their eff orts and impact the future by donating, participating or sharing information. Candidates are persistent because people want to get involved, to be in the know and to be a part of the process, so campaign email helps them move toward their goals. Scammers mimic campaign emails not to get your vote but to compromise your online safety. You might receive a poll, survey or donation request that appeals to your passion, beliefs and desire to take action – that’s really an attempt to steal your personal information. What looks like a legitimate donation request might actually be an attempt to gain access to your bank account. Before you donate or give personal information, research the organization that reached out, and be wary of people who try to rush you to make a decision. Be especially careful of emails with links. Phishing emails might include a link that takes users to a spoofed version of a candidate’s website or installs malware on your device. Use BBB’s tips for spotting an email scam to be sure it’s real. If you want to receive more information or visit a site, it’s better to type the offi cial website address into your browser. You can also hover your mouse over hyperlinks and compare the web address that pops up with the legitimate web address. When fraudsters give you a ring: Actual campaign supporters call people to conduct surveys or solicit donations. Scammers often do the same thing. Criminals pretending to be affi liated with your party or candidate might try to scam you over the phone by asking you to: • Answer survey questions – then ask for your personal information like your social security number or birthdate. Sometimes they also off er a prize or gift card in exchange for your time. They might ask you to give a credit card number to cover shipping. Learn how to identify a fake survey. • Donate funds – and if you give them your account information, they’ve got you. Learn about donating wisely to a crowdfunding campaign. • Register to vote – fraudsters might say you’re not registered and off er to help you with the process over the phone, then steal personally identifying information. It’s common for actual candidates to use prerecorded messages to reach out to the public. Scammers sometimes use voice cloning to make it sound like an authentic message from a candidate and persuade people to donate or share info. After hearing the message, people are redirected or transferred to someone ready to take down their information and use it for nefarious activities. Trickery by smishing: Smishing is similar to email scamming, only messages are sent via text. Citizens might receive a message that looks like it came from a trusted source, inviting them to participate in a poll or donate. Tricksters might be out to get your passwords, account numbers, social security number or other data. Read more about smishing and how to identify a fake text message. Another type of scam happens when con artists send a text about a fake problem. For example, an individual might get a text that looks like it came from their bank, asking if they really donated to a candidate, organization or party with a prompt to reply “yes” or “no.” If the person replies no, the scammer calls them and asks for their account log-in, numbers or password to investigate or dispute the transaction. The person feels fear and an urgent need to act, so they might not think twice about giving up sensitive information. There’s also the text-yourvote scam. Con artists send text messages urging people to text their vote rather than voting in person or by mail. When voters believe them, they don’t show up to actually vote, and their chance to participate in elections is lost. Midterm election cybersecurity tips: • See prizes as a red fl ag. Legitimate pollsters don’t usually off er a prize for completing a survey. • Know what pollsters don’t need. They might ask for demographic information or what party you most align with, but they don’t need personal information like birth dates, social security numbers or fi nancial information. No state off ers voter registration by phone. • Don’t answer unknown numbers. Con artists can’t trick you if they can’t get in touch. • Listen to your gut. If something seems off , protect yourself. If in doubt, check with your local election offi ce. • Don’t provide information in response to an unsolicited message. The entities that need your account and personal information already have them. • Do report suspicious activities to BBB’s Scam Tracker (https://www.bbb.org/ scamtracker/reportscam). BBB provides tips for understanding and managing cybersecurity risks during the 2022 midterms and every other season.

Wreaths Across America Expands FREE TEACH Program Curriculum for Educators FREE Access to an expanded patriotic, educational curriculum and resources for service-based learning COLUMBIA FALLS, Maine — October 12, 2022 — This year’s theme for Wreaths Across America (WAA) is “Find a Way to Serve.” In keeping with this, the organization launched a new TEACH program earlier this year. The program, which was put together by retired educator and Gold Star Mother Cindy Tatum, shares an established curriculum designed to teach the next generation about the value of their freedom. In the past few months, with consistent updates based on American holidays and other important events, this program has become wildly popular with professional educators and homeschoolers. Last month alone, this program received over 2,000 individual downloads. The program, which consists of stories of courage and character, regularly introduces new educational materials – most recently you can fi nd lesson plans specifi cally related to Veterans’ Day – further focusing on character development and service projects for young people of all ages. This program is FREE to download from www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/teach and is also available to all educators and homeschoolers on Teachers Pay Teachers. The program curriculum encompasses all grades starting at kindergarten through the senior year of high school. This service-based curriculum is designed to share educational materials from philanthropic and patriotic organizations like The Unites States of America Vietnam War Commemoration, the American Rosie MovementTM , Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, The Congressional Media of Honor Society, and IKEducation at the Eisenhower Foundation. Additionally, WAA has developed a Veterans’ Oral History Project for youth from 4th -12th grades that encourages young people to interview a veteran, service member, or Gold Star Family member to learn about the sacrifi ces our military make on behalf of our country and teach the next generation the value of their freedom. To learn more, or to download WAA’s TEACH materials, please visit www. wreathsacrossamerica.org/ teach. “As a volunteer, founding family member, and mother of six kids and grandmother to nine, whose lives have been greatly impacted by the opportunity to meet so many in the military community, I know that the teaching aspect of our mission is the most important,” said Karen Worcester, Executive Director, Wreaths Across America. “Finally, this long-standing desire to develop a more robust education program took a giant step forward with the launch of this expanded program. I am thrilled to see that so many educators are already seeing value in the materials and hope that more will have the opportunity to utilize these important lesson plans in their classrooms.” Lesson plans for all grade levels and learning abilities have been designed by WAA’s Education Liaison, Cindy Tatum. “Being a part of helping Wreaths Across America teach younger generations about the value of freedom and the importance of honoring those who sacrificed so much to protect those freedoms, is something I know I am supposed to be doing and I know my son Daniel would want me to do,” said Tatum, a Gold Star Mother who lost her son who was serving in the USMC on Christmas Eve. “I want America’s youth to learn that as citizens of this world, there are things they can do to lift the human spirit, things that are easy, things that are free, things that they can do every day.” This year, National Wreaths Across America Day is Saturday, December 17, 2022. It is a free event and open to all people. For more information on how to volunteer locally or sponsor a wreath for an American hero, please visit www.wreathsacrossamerica.org.

Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2022 Attorneys question Leader Herald publisher Resnek in defamation lawsuit Asked for proof mayor had taken kickbacks – Resnek: “No, I don’t” By James Mitchell In the most disturbing tesO n June 3, attorneys for Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s defamation lawsuit began questioning Everett Leader Herald newspaper publisher/reporter Joshua Resnek in a videotape deposition at the Boston law offi ces of Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr LLP. During questioning, Attorney Jeff Robbins established a timeline of Resnek’s employment status and fi nancial woes, which suddenly disappeared just months prior to his new job as publisher of the Everett Leader Herald. According to the deposition, Resnek stated that he and his wife, Carolyn Resnek, had fi led for bankruptcy protection on two occasions, in 2001 and again in 2017, due to Internal Revenue Service and Massachusetts Department of Revenue liens, judgments by creditors and attachments to property. Resnek described his fi nancial state as, at one time, broke and sleeping out of his car after losing millions of dollars in personal wealth and real estate holdings due to the recession. Resnek and his wife signed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection on April 18, 2017. Resnek was then shown a signed document showing that he and his wife were discharged from bankruptcy on Sept. 26, 2017. Two months later, on November 29, 2017, Resnek would fi le as manager for Dorchester Publications LLC with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth Corporations division, leaving off the owner’s name, Matthew Philbin. Resnek stated that he wasn’t told to fi ll that part of the document in – but admitted that his “partner” Matthew Philbin was the owner of the newspaper. Resnek claimed that he wasn’t an employee of Dorchester Publications LLC, had no written agreement – just an oral one – receiving a 1099 IRS form from Philbin. When asked if he reached this oral understanding with Philbin before or after he was discharged from bankruptcy, Resnek said he didn’t remember. FOOTBALL | FROM Page 13 ter that. But head coach Lou Cicatelli was pleased with his team's tenacity and eff ort. He pointed out that miscues which can't be made against opponents the caliber of Everett really hurt the Patriots in the end. timony given by Resnek, he was asked about the derogatory name he gave the mayor in his many articles and editorials, “Kickback Carlo.” “You've called him “kickback Carlo, correct?” asked Robbins. “Yes,” replied Resnek. “Do you have any evidence that he’s ever taken a kickback?” asked the attorney. “Do I have any evidence that he’s taken a kickback?” replied, Resnek, adding. “No, I don't.” Resnek was asked about the financial situation beginning when he started working at the Leader Herald, stating that in the fi rst year the paper made money, but it had continued to lose money annually to the tune of approximately $25,000 per year since 2018. When asked if the newspaper was totally dependent on advertising revenue, Resnek stated, “Not exactly. It’s dependent upon Mr. Philbin’s desire to keep the paper going.” Resnek testifi ed that he hadn’t been employed since 2012 when he was forced out of the Independent Newspaper Group, owners of the Everett Independent, for breaching fi duciary duty to the owners after taking $250,000 from Vector Media, a vendor of solar powered barrels for the City of Boston in a deal he claimed to help broker for his son’s company. According to the deposition, Resnek had taken the money without informing his partners in the Group. Stephen Quigley, 75% majority owner, discovered emails on Resnek’s work computer of the deal. The Independent Newspaper Group publishes four newspapers in Boston, and Quigley felt that Resnek’ side deal impugned the integrity of the Group. Resnek – who had what he claimed was 10-15% ownership of the newspaper group along with four others and worked there from 1999 to 2012 – was, once again, out of a job over what he claimed was a “strong diff erence of opinion.” Resnek was then asked about a company called Chelsea Press LLC, which he stated was a A 60-yard interception return for a touchdown by the Tide was one of those damaging errors. "We made two big mistakes that really cost us, but other than that, we played them tough," Cicatelli told the press after the game. "It's Everett, and bottom line is, they're tough to beat." checking account and that it never published a newspaper but did a lot of printing business from 2018 to 2020. When asked how much he earned over the last five years from the Chelsea Press, Resnek stated that Dorchester Press (Philbin) issues a weekly check to him made out to the Chelsea Press LLC. “So the way you work out your arrangement with Mr. Philbin is he doesn't pay you. He writes a check not to you but to Chelsea Press LLC, and you deposit it in that account and you make expenditures for your personal expenses through that account?” asked Robbins. “Yes,” replied Resnek. Resnek said he worked briefly for the Boston Herald and has had a longstanding relationship with The Boston Globe, saying that at one time he was an investigative reporter, but he admitted he was just a freelancer and hadn’t been paid by The Globe in 10 years. He also admitted to being fi red by Regan Communications, a prominent Boston media company, after only three months on the job, denying the allegation of inappropriate behavior, a sexual harassment issue. The questioning moved on to Resnek’s LinkedIn profi le and the Everett Leader Herald website, which contains a biography written by Resnek. The attorney asked him why he still represented himself in the LinkedIn bio as an employee and a partner of Independent Newspaper Group LLC when he hadn’t been for 10 years. He was also asked about being president of Chelsea Press LLC, which he claimed was only a checking account and never published any newspapers. “Well, Chelsea Press LLC is Joshua Resnek,” replied Resnek. He also states in his LinkedIn bio that he is president of “Globex services and Solutions/ Chelsea Press LLC” – Globex is a company owned by his son which has an arrangement with a City of Boston vendor – which Resnek claimed was in title only and without compensation. The attorney asked him about a description of Globex which statCicatelli also cited the diffi culty his defense had in containing Everett quarterback Karmarri Ellerbe, who ran for touchdowns of 45 and 22 yards. The Patriots had stiff ened on defense over the previous 10 quarters entering last Friday's contest, having allowed just 22 points in that ed the company was “experts at Print, Digital and OOH Advertising Campaigns - with a Nationwide Reach.” When asked if he was an expert in the mediums described in the bio, Resnek stated he was in print and an “almost expert” in digital – but said he didn’t know what an OOH advertising campaign was. Robbins then asked Resnek if he was the owner of Dorchester Publications/Chelsea Press LLC as he stated on the bio; Resnek replied that he was owner and publisher of Chelsea Press only and only editor and publisher of Dorchester Publications. The questioning turned to the Everett Leader Herald website bio, which he admitted he wrote. Asked about a publication called Casino Boston, a casino-oriented publication that was in publication from 2016 to 2017, Resnek stated that he should have removed that from the bio as it hadn’t been published in fi ve years. Despite his claim to have “almost expertise” in digital, Resnek stated he placed it but didn’t know how to remove it. “I posted it – I posted it years ago,” he said to the attorney. The attorney then circled back to Chelsea Press LLC, which – as stated on Resnek’s LinkedIn profi le – he was owner of since May of 2000. But Resnek stated he founded the company in 1997 but admitted that he did write on his bio the May 2000 date. But the attorney pointed out that Resnek fi led with the Secretary of State on behalf of Chelsea Press LLC on or about August of 2016. When asked why he refi led for a company that was no longer in operation, Resnek stated that it ceased to exist for a while after he went bankrupt several times so he felt he needed to start it back up. “You think you had to fi le a new LLC to create it?” asked Robbins. “Yes,” replied Resnek, “I just did it myself.” “Then why didn’t you list the owner,” asked Robbins. “You didn't think there was anything dishonest or nefarious or corspan. Everett erupted for 28 points after the Patriots had taken an early lead in the opening half. The Patriots, led off ensively by QB Carlos Rizo, running back Maylin Gonzalez and receiver Domenic Boudreau, who each had strong outings in the previrupt about fi ling an LLC document which didn't disclose the owner, did you?” “That’s correct,” said Resnek. Robbins showed Resnek a document from the Massachusetts Secretary of State’s Offi ce showing that Chelsea Press LLC was involuntarily dissolved by a court on June 28, 2019, which Resnek claimed he was unaware of until that moment. “So the fi rst you’ve ever heard that the LLC that you say you’re still the owner of was involuntarily dissolved three years ago is right now. Is that what you’re saying?” asked Robbins. “Yes,” said Resnek. Questioning moved on to the journalists whom Resnek frequently sent his articles or links to; he stated the recipients were Boston Globe reporters Stephanie Ebbert, Andrea Estes and Steve Kurkjian. Resnek stated he spoke or emailed Ebbert and Estes about DeMaria because The Globe has an interest in municipal corruption. “Did you try to get Stephanie Ebbert and Andrea Estes to, quote, as you put it, ‘do stuff’ for you, correct?” asked Robbins. Resnek replied that he wanted The Globe reporters to “make their own judgments about its newsworthiness.” Resnek claimed he didn’t send them articles – just information – but then corrected himself by saying he did send them articles. Resnek then admitted that he posted the articles that were the subject of the lawsuit online knowing that the mayor has a family, a wife, three children and elderly parents. Resnek was asked if he knew the impact of what the stories he wrote about the mayor would have on his family; Resnek claimed he was a humanist and a writer and wasn’t out to destroy somebody’s family. The questioning turned to a June 2018 editorial that Resnek wrote claiming that the mayor was hurting the Leader Herald’s bottom line in advertising revenue, complaining that DeMaria wasn’t giving a penny in LAWSUIT | SEE Page 16 ous week's 47-0 win over Lynn English, hope to get back on the winning track this week.

During the same period, scams perpetrated by phone dropped by 42%. The new report, Start With Trust® Online: BBB Online Scams Report, analyzes the changes in how scams are being perpetrated, including new information about impersonation and online purchase scams. This research paper is based on two sets of data: 1) An analysis of more than 300,000 reports submitted to BBB Scam TrackerSM between 2015 and 2022, and 2) survey research conducted in July 2022. “The methods scammers use to target consumers have shifted signifi cantly since BBB began collecting scam reports from the public in 2015,” said Melissa Lanning Trumpower, executive director of the BBB Institute for Marketplace Trust, which produced the report. “The shift in scam tactics is driven by a range of factors such as the rise of social media, world events, and changes in consumer behavTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2022 LAWSUIT | FROM Page 14 reports Online Scams have risen 87% since 2015 ior. Our latest fi ndings reinforce the guidance we’ve been giving consumers to help them stay updated on these tactics to avoid losing money to scams.” All scam types perpetrated online So far in 2022, scams perpetrated online are more prevalent (55%) than other delivery methods, with a higher percentage of people losing money when targeted (75%). When breaking out scams perpetrated via phone with a monetary loss, scams perpetrated via text message rose from 11% in 2015 to 30% in 2022. Scams perpetrated via text had a median dollar loss of $800 in 2022, higher than other reported means of contact. Text messaging was the most reported offl ine method used to push people online. “Carrots” appear to be riskier than “sticks,” according to our survey research. About 70% of respondents said they continued the online engagement because they hoped to gain something, sell something, or were curious to learn more. That’s compared to ELECTION | SEE Page 20 city ads to the newspaper that was criticizing him on nearly a weekly basis. “Can we agree that you’ve been angry at the mayor because you held him responsible for advertising revenue not coming into the coff ers of the paper?” asked the attorney. “That’s a valid statement,” replied Resnek. Resnek further claimed that the mayor forced a major advertiser from advertising with the Leader Herald but refused to reveal the name of the advertiser or any other advertiser. The Leader Herald reporter was asked for his defi nition of extortion, Resnek replied that it is when “one thing is withheld from someone else to give someone else an advantage.” When asked if he knew if stealing was a crime, Resnek replied, “I would not consider stealing in some respects a crime.” When asked if he knew extortion was a crime, Resnek replied, “I would say, in some respects, that the use of the word ‘extortion’ to connote the interaction between people is not a crime.” Resnek was then asked to look at the article he wrote in which he stated, “We won’t be intimidated or extorted here by the mayor” – “you were saying he was trying to extort you, correct?” – to which Resnek “Do you have any evidence that he’s (mayor) ever taken a kickback?” asked the attorney. “Do I have any evidence that he’s taken a kickback?” replied, Resnek, adding. “No, I don't.” – Attorney questioning Josh Resnek in Carlo DeMaria, Jr. Defamation Lawsuit vs Leader-Herald, Matthew Philbin and Andrew Philbin, Sr. dismissively replied, “Water off a duck’s tail,” claiming that it wasn’t his words and that he wasn’t prosecuting the mayor. The attorneys then delved into a Sept. 6, 2021, redacted email thread between Resnek and Philbin where Philbin complained that the Everett Co-Operative Bank had stopped advertising and blamed the mayor. Resnek was then asked if he contacted anyone at the bank to fi nd out why the ad was pulled; he stated he did not. “Did you make any eff ort, sir, to ascertain from anybody at the Everett Cooperative Bank whether or not Mr. DeMaria had intervened to get the bank to not provide money to your newspaper?” “I did not,” replied Resnek. He was then asked why he stated in the email thread that the Everett Co-Operative Bank was not advertising in the Leader Herald because the bank was somehow connected to the city putting money in the bank interest free. Resnek replied that’s what he believed to be true. Resnek was then asked if he spoke to anybody at the bank or City Hall about if the allegation was true. “Did you ask to look at any public records refl ecting the holdings of city money in various banks to see what the interest rate was?” asked Robbins. “No, I didn't,” replied Resnek. Resnek was then shown a list of fi nancial institutions, all public record, in which the City of Everett has money deposited: 10 accounts, all showing interest that is paid. “Did you do any investigation to ascertain whether or not there was a single account at Everett Cooperative Bank where city money was held which was interest free?” asked Robbins. Resnek claimed he was told by a variety of sources – sources which he refused to name. Resnek gave another deposition on Thursday and is scheduled for another at a later date.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2022 Page 17 ~ Legal Notice ~ ~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~ How Much Does an Average Funeral Cost? Dear Savvy Senior, How much does a typical funeral and body burial cost today? My wife and I are interested in prearranging our funerals but would like to have a cost idea before going in so we can plan and budget appropriately. Planning Ahead Dear Planning, It definitely pays to know what charges to expect when pre-planning a funeral. Most people don’t have a clue and can often be upsold thousands of dollars’ worth of extra services they may not want or need. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect. Funeral Prices The fi rst thing you need to be aware of is that funeral costs will vary considerably depending on your geographic location, the funeral home you choose and the funeral choices you make. With that said, here’s a breakdown of what an average funeral costs, nationwide, according to the most recent data from the National Funeral Directors Association. Professional services fee: This is a basic non-declinable fee that covers the funeral provider’s time, expertise and overhead: $2,300. Transfer of the remains: This is for picking up the body and taking it to the funeral home: $350 Embalming and body preparation: Embalming is usually mandatory for opencasket viewing, otherwise it’s not required unless the body is going to be transported across state lines. Embalming costs $775. Other body preparations, which includes hairdressing and cosmetics runs $275. Funeral viewing and ceremony: If the viewing and funeral ceremony is at the funeral home, you’ll be charged for use of the chapel and any necessary staff . Costs: $450 for viewing, and $515 for funeral ceremony. Metal casket: This is a big money maker for funeral homes, with markups of up to 300 percent over the wholesale price: $2,500. Funeral transportation: Use of hearse and driver; $325 to transport the body to the cemetery. Use of a service car/ van: $150. Memorial printed package: This includes printed programs and memorial guest book: $183. In addition to these costs, there are also a number of cemetery costs like the plot or mausoleum fee, the vault or grave liner that most cemeteries require, and the opening and closing of the grave, all of which can run between $2,000 and $3,000; and the gravestone, which typically runs between $1,000 and $3,000. You’ll also need to budget for related expenses like fl owers for the funeral ($200 to $400), the newspaper obituary fee ($100 to $800 or more), the clergy honorarium ($200 to $300) and extra copies of the death certifi cate ($5 to $35 per copy depending on the state). All told, the average cost of a total U.S. funeral today with viewing and cemetery burial is around $12,000. Ways to Save If this is more than you’re willing or able to pay, there are ways to save. For starters, you should know that prices can vary signifi cantly by funeral provider, so it’s wise to shop around. If you need some help, there are websites you can turn to like Parting.com that lets you easily compare prices online based on what you want. When evaluating funeral providers, be sure you get an itemized price list of services and products so you can accurately compare and choose what you want. The most signifi cant way to save is to request a “direct burial” or “direct cremation.” With these options you and your wife would be buried or cremated shortly after death, which skips the embalming and viewing. If you want a memorial service, you can have it at the graveside or at your place of worship without the body. These services usually run between $1,000 and $3,000, not counting cemetery charges.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call continues its look at the ballot questions that will be on the November ballot for voter consideration. This week: Question #2: Dental Insurance. BALLOT QUESTION #2 - REQUIRE DENTAL INSURANCE PLANS TO SPEND AT LEAST 83 PERCENT OF THEIR PREMIUMS ON DENTAL CARE – The second question on the November ballot asks voters if they support a requirement that dental insurance plans spend at least 83 percent of their premiums received from members on dental care for the members and quality improvements rather than the administrative expenses of running the company. The proposal is sponsored by the Committee on Dental Insurance Quality. Chief opposition to the proposal is being led by the similarly named Committee to Protect Public Access to Quality Dental Care. “Dental insurance pays too little of patient costs, so families, seniors and individual patients with insurance struggle to cover their dental costs,” Chris Keohane, a spokesperson for the “Yes on 2” campaign told Beacon Hill Roll Call. “Requiring insurance companies to put more money into actual patient care will mean a better deal for patients. Similar to medical insurance laws, this law would require dental insurance companies to allocate at least 83 percent of paid premiums to patient care or refund premiums to patients to meet this standard. Simply put, a ‘Yes’ vote is a value guarantee for voters.” “Delta Dental has funded roughly 90 percent of the ‘No’ side of Question 2 and have spent several hundred thousand dollars in legal fees trying to silence the voters who signed to have this placed on the ballot,” continued Keohane. “The facts are simple. Delta Dental doesn’t want people in Massachusetts to know that they spent only $177 million in actual patient care the same year they ‘gifted’ $291 million to their parent company. These are verifi able facts on their own IRS 990 Tax Form. Now they are spending millions to confuse voters with blatant lies and it is shameful.” The “No on 2” campaign did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to answer questions about its campaign. The following information is from the campaign’s website. “Question 2 will increase dental costs for Massachusetts families and employers — by 38 percent, according to an independent study by Milliman Research,” says the “No on 2” campaign on its website. “A recent survey of Massachusetts consumers and businesses found that if such increases occur, more than half of consumers would likely drop their dental insurance and 90 percent of businesses indicated that they would be likely to make changes to coverage – including decreasing employer contributions and employee benefi ts or dropping dental coverage for employees altogether.” “A ballot question is no place to decide such a complicated issue that will force consumers to pay more for the same level of care while only benefi ting providers,” continued opponents. “Question 2 is an end-run around experts and the Legislature.” Keohane told Beacon Hill Roll Call that he disputes the characterization of the study by Milliman Research as “independent.” “The ‘No’ side has peddled this study as ‘independent,’ but the insurance industry funded it, provided the data for it and their advertising is highlighting a specifi c portion of the ‘study’ that the authors themselves say is not possible. Their lies are a slap in the face to all voters.” “We are extremely optimistic that ‘Yes on 2’ will win in November,” continued Keohane. “With well over 700 endorsers from patients, dentists, elected offi cials and organizations, we have assembled a grassroots movement that is fed up with insurance executives getting paid outrageous salaries and the exorbitant corporate waste that their own tax forms prove.” Here are the offi cial arguments of the supporters and opponents as they appear in the Redbook – the book, distributed by the Secretary of State to households across the state, which provides Information to voters on ballot questions. IN FAVOR: Written by Dr. Patricia Brown The Committee on Dental Insurance Quality www.fairdentalinsurance.org “A ‘Yes’ vote ensures better coverage and value for patients, instead of unreasonable corporate waste. For example, according to its own 2019 Form 990, Delta Dental (in Massachusetts alone) paid executive bonuses, commissions, and payments to affi liates of $382 million, while only paying $177 million for patient care. A ‘Yes’ vote would eliminate this inequity. Similar to medical insurance, this law would require dental insurance companies to allocate at least 83 percent of paid premiums to patient care, or refund premiums to patients to meet this standard. Insurance companies will try to confuse voters by saying that dental insurance premiums will increase. This is false, because Section 2(d) of the law specifi cally disallows increases above the consumer price index without state approval. Stop the corporate waste. Vote ‘Yes’ for fair dental insurance.” AGAINST: Written by Louis Rizoli Committee To Protect Public Access To Quality Dental Care www.Protectmydentalcare.com “This question will increase costs for Massachusetts families and employers — a 38 percent premium increase in one recent independent study — and could result in thousands of people losing access to dental care. With consumer prices soaring, we don’t need a new regulation that will increase costs and decrease choice. There is no law like this ballot question anywhere in the nation. The Massachusetts Legislature actually repealed a similar law in 2011 because it proved overly burdensome and provided no real benefi ts for consumers. Federal lawmakers excluded it from Obamacare, and a special commission in Massachusetts reviewed and rejected a similar provision. Further, the state already requires reporting from dental plans.” ALSO, UP ON BEACON HILL ALLOW CITIES AND TOWNS TO COLLECT CONDO FEES ACCUMULATED DURING FORECLOSURE PROCESS (H 3022) – The House gave initial approval to a bill that applies to cities and towns which have put a tax lien on a condominium property for the owner’s failure to pay property taxes. The measure allows cities and towns to collect, at the time of the foreclosure sale, any condo fees owed to the condo association, during the foreclosure process. Under current law, the city or town can collect only the back taxes but not the condo fees. Sponsor Rep. Brian Murray (DMilford) recounted a case in which several commercial condos in Milford were placed into tax title because of failure of the owners to pay taxes. He said it took six years until the property fi nally went to foreclosure, auction and sale. Following the sale, the condo association successfully sued the town for the back condo fees and the town had to pay $60,000 out of its pocket because under current law, it was precluded from recovering the condo fees in the foreclosure and auction process. “I fi led this bill to prevent such an occurrence from happening in the future, by providing a municipality the right to recover these [condo fee] costs as an addition to the tax title account and part of the terms of eventual redemption,” said Rep. Murray. “The bill seeks equity for cities and towns to be able to recover all known costs in situations where foreclosures of condominiums, which can take a great deal of time that translates into expense, become necessary due to the failure to pay real estate taxes.” ELECTION LAWS BILLS SENT TO A STUDY COMMITTEE – Several bills aff ecting the state’s elections laws were sent to a study committee where bills are rarely actually studied and are essentially defeated. It is a way to kill a proposal without holding a vote on the bill itself. Here are some of the election law bills that were sent off to a study committee: MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO PAY SOMEONE TO ATTEND TOWN MEETING (S 467) – Makes it a crime to bribe someone to attend or not to attend their local town meeting and imposes up to a 1-year prison sentence on violators. Current law makes it illegal to pay someone to vote at an election but does not apply to town meetings. “For the integrity of our local government, it is crucial there be no incentive for attendance or absence at a town meeting,” said sponsor Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxboro). “There remains a loophole in the statute that we must work to close. [The bill] does just that by ensuring no payments, or compensation of any kind is exchanged for attendance or absence to a town meeting, similar to a prohibition on compensation in exchange for a vote at the ballot box. I will continue to support this measure in the upcoming legislative session and hope to see this oversight addressed.” ALLOW RESIDENTS TO REQUEST ANONYMITY ON STREET LISTINGS (S 456) – Under current law, all Massachusetts households receive in the mail and must fi ll out an annual street listing (census) form that includes each resident’s name, address, date of birth, occupation, veteran status and nationality, if not a citizen of the United States, in January of each year. The information is used to maintain voting and jury lists, aid in school enrollment projections and for many other things including veterans’ benefi ts and proof of residency for state universities. This bill would allow any resident of a city or town to request that his or her information from each city or town’s annual street listing not be posted publicly and not be disclosed to anyone without the person’s permission. Current law allows a few people, including those who are under a court order granting protection or living in a protective shelter, law enforcement and public safety personnel, to request their information be kept confi dential. The bill allows anyone to request the exemption. “This straightforward bill would allow town clerks to refrain from making public personally identifi able information about voters if they receive a request from said voter,” said sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton). “I was happy to introduce this bill on behalf of a constituent of mine. This bill will not become law this session, but I look forward to further action in this space in subsequent sessions.” REGULATE “PUSH POLLING” (H 821) – Would require anyone conducting a “push poll” to identify the candidate or organization for which he or she is working and inform the interviewee that the telephone call is a paid political advertisement. A push poll is a political campaign technique in which an individual or organization attempts to manipulate or change voters’ views under the guise of conducting an opinion poll. During the call, the “pollster” asks questions related to an opposing candidate for public offi ce which state, imply or convey negative and often untrue information about the candidate’s character, status or political stance or record, with the intent of “pushing” the interviewee toward adopting an unfavorable opinion of the candidate. Anyone violating the law would be fi ned up to $1,000. Supporters say that push polls are misleading and should be highly regulated. Sponsor Rep. Jim Murphy (D-Weymouth) did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on why he fi led the bill and how he feels about its defeat. ALLOW SOME FELONS TO VOTE (H 829) – Would allow jailed felons to vote in elections unless they were convicted of indecent assault and battery on a child; attempt to commit murder by poison, drowning or strangulation; murder; manslaughter or assault with intent to commit rape; or any other crime for which the person may be punished by imprisonment in a state prison for life. Currently, the state’s constitution prohibits all convicted felons currently in prison from voting. Supporters say the current law goes too far and should only apply to the worst of felons. Sponsor Rep. Dave Rogers (D-Cambridge) did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on why he fi led the bill and how he feels about its defeat. QUOTABLE QUOTES HAPPY CRANBERRY MONTH - Gov. Charlie Baker declared October as “Massachusetts Cranberry Month.” “The Baker-Polito Administration is proud to support cranberry growers, who make signifi cant contributions to the commonwealth’s agricultural sector and local economies. Our local growers are true stewards of the land, implementing the latest in proprietary technology and equipment to harvest their fruit, and utilizing innovative methods that conserve water and protect Massachusetts’ natural resources.” --- Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Beth Card. “As a side dish at Thanksgiving dinner, served dried on oatmeal or salads, or enjoyed in a glass in BEACON | SEE Page 20

Despite the significant drought that impacted many of our cranberry farms this growing season, with some recent rain events, along with resourceful and innovative growers, we are excited for an expected good cranberry crop this year.” --- Brian Wick, Executive Director of the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association. “I am extremely pleased to be ELECTION | FROM Page 16 30% who continued the engagement because they feared they’d lose something, were threatened, or thought there was an urgent situation they needed to address.

Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view ued to be the most reported scam type to BBB Scam Tracker in 2022, making up 30.0% of all scams reported, with 71.6% reporting a monetary loss. The reported median dollar loss for this type of scam rose from $101 in 2021 to $114 in 2022. The reported median dollar loss for this scam type for ages 18-24 increased 25.8% from $124 in 2021 to $156 in 2022; this age group also reported the highest median dollar loss. According to the report, active-duty military reported losing signifi cantly more money ($355) than veterans ($122), military spouses ($126), and non-military consumers ($111).

Thirty-one percent of survey respondents said they lost confidence/emotional well-being after being targeted by an online scam. Prevention tips How and where you search, research, and conduct transactions may impact your susceptibility to online scams. Tips for avoiding losing money to online scams: • If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. Price was the top motivating factor for people who made a purchase and then lost money. Don’t shop on price alone. • Be careful purchasing soughtafter products. Scammers offer hard-to-find items and highly sought-after products at great prices. • Before you buy, do your research with a trustworthy source. One of the best ways to avoid on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

Avoid paying by wire transfer, prepaid money card, gift card, or other non-traditional payment methods. • Choose your online payment system carefully. Take some time to understand the rules around your online payment system; not all will reimburse money if you get scammed. • Don’t believe everything you see. Scammers are great at mimicking offi cial seals, fonts, and other details. Just because a website or email looks offi cial does not mean it is. For example, if a business displays a BBB Accredited Business seal, you can verify its legitimacy by going to BBB.org and looking up the company yourself. • Ask for verification and take time to do research with a trustworthy source. People who lost money to a scam were almost twice as likely as those who avoided losing money to say the scammer used impersonation as a tactic. • Be skeptical about anyone who reaches out to you unsolicited. Survey respondents told us scammers produced fake business cards, websites, credentials, ratings and more to convince them they were legitimate.
