Check out our NEW website! www.messingerinsurance.com he City Council, during its February 17 meeting, voted 6-5 to enroll the ordinance sponsored by Ward 3 Councillor Anthony DiPierro to keep Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s longevity pay at $2,500 per year. “In government, you have to compromise; I believe my ordinance does just that,” said DiPierro. “The current individual serving as mayor has 28 consecutive years of service to this community.” Yet, on January 31, the council’s Committee of the Whole voted 6-4 to recommend that the mayor’s longevity pay be reduced to $1,700, which would have been consistent with the longevity pay of other department heads. Therefore, Ward 4 Councillor Jimmy Tri Le suggested adopting the committee’s recommendation. However, Le was unsuccessful as DiPierro had already made a motion for favorable action on his ordinance. Prior to the vote, resident Anthony Raymond called attention to the $180,000 that DeMaria allegedly collected from prior longevity payments, which had reportedly been infl ated. Raymond said Chief Financial Offi cer Eric Demas should be held personally responsible for “disrespecting the Everett taxpayers regard ing the longevity payout.” Le said the matter pertaining to the $180,000 has been referred to Massachusetts Inspector General Glenn Cunha. He also said the ongoing stream of emails from residents was unnecessary. Therefore, Le asked City Council President John Hanlon to intervene. “Could you please tell the taxpayers of Everett to put a halt on emailing us, demanding that the mayor repay that money?” Le asked. “We have no authority over him whatsoever and it’s out of our jurisdiction.” However, Hanlon did not agree with Le’s request. “I’m COUNCIL | SEE PAGE 9 ׉ 7cassandra://YBZCxQtsSRh1uzAlo_reeULVvli31Xb8qatE6WRNnKU)+`̰b.EO#qϯb.EO#qϮ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://5gOvzDcZLZpkQKh1MFee5ZZRDcnCq01HbAbUWFWLz-A &`)׉ 7cassandra://1Yk4osLzoHBUXXTKNMGyGYodcybym2gFexYx2pTvCXcͮ`J׉ 7cassandra://qKng4htZ9aP3zC8KWqLLP3sN7IMyOKlRX1s_oTd98_Y1`̰׉ 7cassandra://kKjs_jt_-1vXOJTrpL5y0uAzfwqogqD_kVfreQ8qKZQV͠ͅb.HO#qט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://F2q-p2T43qRnuiFNPuW2nDj2SMg_YxmoYuxmx5a_CV8n`)׉ 7cassandra://bLzRm1Ud88t25SpzH6Q9_X-3P27wSEH51kZpQzxjpiU͢3`J׉ 7cassandra://YRi1k0czZKBcM3WidH-COV2bKQsoj_2IifkXKDSNWw8/`̰׉ 7cassandra://ULfzSob3MoqduLVpaE8SfaTQ1AQuG87cfuqxKowWwFU,f͠b.HO#qّנb.HO#qf 9ׁHhttp://www.angelosoil.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2022 No action taken by ZBA at February meeting Five petitions postponed to March By Christopher Roberson F ive of the six petitions on the agenda at the February 22 Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) meeting were postponed to March 21 while the last petition was withdrawn without prejudice.

Everett to receive $825K in CDBG funding By Christopher Roberson E verett is once again slated to receive an $825,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to provide funding for housing rehabilitation assistance, social services for homelessness individuals and youth and elder services as well as the Bread of Life. Matthew Lattanzi, director of Planning and Development, said the $825,000 grant is the maximum amount available for a Mini-Entitlement Community. Within that fi gure, he said, $438,000 will be used for the Housing Rehabilitation Program. “Assuming an average allocation of $36,500 per unit, this equates to 12 units eligible for rehabilitation,” said Lattanzi. “Residents can apply for zero percent interest loans for home repair projects and, if the property owner continues to own and live on the premises for a certain number of years, the loan is 100 percent forgivable.” In addition, $40,000 will be allocated to Housing Families Inc., $60,000 to Bread of Life, $35,000 to For Kids Only and $30,000 to Mystic Valley Elder Services. “These four organizations have shown their ability to spend down the funds within the year and have proven themselves as fantastic partners with the city, servicing our residents’ needs,” said Lattanzi. Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith highlighted the importance of using a portion of CDBG funds for youth programming. “I am hopeful that the Administration uses portions of this grant to further develop plans for a Boys and Girls Club for the youth of our city and for continuing to invest and support our local businesses that are still struggling in the aftermath of COVID,” she said. On the state level, more than $38 million in CDBG funds have been awarded to 57 communities throughout Massachusetts this year. “Community Development Block Grants have been critical to our efforts to support communities across the Commonwealth,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “Now more than ever, it is important that we focus our eff orts on providing services to our most vulnerable residents, and the projects we fund through CDBG are geared toward doing just that.” During the past two years, the state Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) secured more than $75 million in federal funding to assist 36 communities during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Municipalities continue to prove their adaptability with rapidly changing demands during this extended period of uncertainty. DHCD and our partners are here to help communities address short-term needs and plan for growth and shared prosperity,” said DHCD Undersecretary Jennifer Maddox. “I also want to thank the team at DHCD for their attention in distributing an additional $75 million CDBG CARES funds to support eviction diversion efforts, food stability initiatives, and other critical services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.” Seniors on the road again M ayor Carlo DeMaria and The Council on Aging (COA) have planned a very special trip to Aqua Turf, Tuesday April 12.

Everett resident Jordan Goudreau fulfilled his dream of becoming an airline pilot at Envoy Air, a subsidiary of American Airlines. “It’s the best job in the world and the best thing is it doesn’t ever feel like work,” Goudreau said. “I love working for an amazing company that always puts safety first.” The 2012 Everett High School graduate said the city has contributed to his success. “Everyone always felt like family,” Goudreau said. “Everyone in Everett always supports everyone and is always there for you.” Goudreau said he knew from the age of 10 that he wanted to be a pilot, so he knew that he had to get good grades in order to get into the college of his dreams for flying – Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. He commented about why he loves the craft. “My favorite part of my job is flying; as soon as the cockpit door is closed and you take-off, everything in life you forget about,” Goudreau said. “Landing is definitely the fun part of the job.” One of the challenges he faces is flying in inclement weather when the work level goes up significantly. All of his high school teachers had an amazing influence and have followed him throughout his college career. Teachers Andrea Tringali, Sarah Simmons and Keith Spencer stand out. Goudreau had great support from teachers in the Everett Public Schools, who encouraged him to go after his dream job. He spoke at the high school approximately four years ago to students. His mother, Danielle, who works at Mastrocola Insurance, took him as a child to Constitution Beach in East Boston often to watch the airplanes take off and land. His grandmother, Lorrie, was his copilot when he was 10 on his first flight on a small plane. “He is always willing to give a helping hand to anyone who needs it,” Danielle Goudreau said. He still remains in touch with many of his Everett teachers and is proud to be from Everett. He stays in contact with Simmons, his eighth grade Jordan Goudreau is pictured with his proud mom, Danielle. teacher at the Keverian School. He struggled in school up until the eighth grade. However, Simmons pushed him to work harder. “Jordan was always a really dedicated student,” Simmons said. “He worked really hard in all of his classes, and he has such a big personality that he is a very memorable student.” She remembered talking with Goudreau about schools and how he was initially worried about being able to get into Embry-Riddle. However, she encouraged him to keep up his great school work, to keep doing his extracurriculars and to apply regardless. “I always tell students that the worst a school can do is say no,” Simmons said. “When Jordan got into Embry-Riddle, I didn’t think I could be more proud.” Fortunately, she is lucky to still have a connection with Jordan and she can say that she is continually proud of him and his accomplishments. “He truly is living his dream, and it is beautiful to watch,” Simmons said. Looking ahead, Goudreau plans on staying at Envoy and eventually becoming a check airman for the company, which will allow him to train new pilots on the airplane. “Ideally I would love to fly the 777 and do the Boston to Paris flight, which I believe will be the highlight of my career,” Goudreau said. ׉ 7cassandra://YRi1k0czZKBcM3WidH-COV2bKQsoj_2IifkXKDSNWw8/`̰b.EO#qϱb.EO#qϰ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://KOpcVKPet5BYZPPcYQLBCNEgOiKOM7LCGDGqobwln80`)׉ 7cassandra://6UFvrqIovvnNa3VN0XfjxzZWI1Pt4vCHpWkNDroyQVk͟`J׉ 7cassandra://iHwfbB5N3_445DEqytWKbtB9CaFVxcXVSzsoIhEiwfI-`̰׉ 7cassandra://UYuxDVLfPv4wY78rs-arl-FkaW0VuzV0OZ048Gl2FngzH͠b.JO#qט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://dV8NbpLLCMQp5M_RW-uXbF_NWjkXhHftmVZFeb281QYf`)׉ 7cassandra://tT1VuOvea7KvX33YCYdoW_LDRH-Q1yLYWsgn2eHXdP8͛`J׉ 7cassandra://0_aT7J55Ghj_PI9Q_VoVAXfneWjLBT5Xdail5dURT5Q,y`̰׉ 7cassandra://HqO4PZiTjiW4pHTj-VV-EyztI5efG86kAQczl6hepMA|0@d͠b.KO#qנb.HO#q܁V#9׉Hhttp://cityofeverett.com/Gׁ ׁ rנb.HO#q݁$kt9׉Hhttp://cityofeverett.com/Gׁ ׁ rנb.HO#qށk9׉Hhttp://revere.org/Gׁ ׁ rנb.HO#q߁$D9׉Hhttp://revere.org/Gׁ ׁ rנb.HO#q"9׉Hhttp://saugus-man.gov/Gׁ ׁ rנb.HO#q$i9׉Hhttp://saugus-man.gov/Gׁ ׁ rנb.HO#q"9׉Hhttp://cityofmalden.org/Gׁ ׁ rנb.HO#q$*i9׉Hhttp://cityofmalden.org/Gׁ ׁ rנb.HO#qՁ9׉H2https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_(magazine)Gׁ ׁ rנb.HO#q@̬.9׉H2https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_(magazine)Gׁ ׁ rנb.HO#q 4̬49׉H#https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCAPGׁ ׁ rנb.KO#q$/m9ׁHhttp://ofmalden.orgׁ ׁ Јנb.KO#q$n9ׁHhttp://gus-man.govׁ ׁ Јנb.KO#q$I9ׁHhttp://vere.orgׁ ׁ Јנb.KO#q$o~9ׁHhttp://ofeverett.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E TPage 4 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2022 WINTER STORM WARNING: We’re not out of it yet!

Though today’s expected storm was not forecast to be accompanied by the usual strong winds associated with similar winter weather events, a nasty mix of sleet and freezing rain should be coming by early afternoon to cause a messy and potentially hazardous evening commute. With schools already closed in Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus due to the February Winter Break week, that aspect of the respective cities’ operations will not be affected. In Malden, municipal offices in City Hall are already closed on Fridays due to their regular Monday-Thursday schedules. Residents of Everett (cityofeverett.com), Revere (revere.org) and Saugus (saugus-man.gov) should check the city websites for information of possible schedule changes and weather/snow-related decisions. The city of Malden’s municipal website address is cityofmalden.org. If any of The Advocate readership communities determine if a Snow Emergency (and related parking restrictions) are to go into effect, such information would be available on the respective websites. The “Winter of 2021-2022” continues to be a real-time “Yo-Yo Adventure” in this region — even this week— with dramatic changes in temperatures and weather conditions.

Coupled with today’s anticipated snowstorm, this represents still another “peaks and valleys” effect, weather-wise. “Only in New England” continues to be the battle cry of local residents and city officials, who are forced to rapidly shift gears to combat weather shifts. Malden Department of Public Works (DPW) Chief Bob Knox, a veteran of over two decades of New England winters has seen plenty of the unpredictability that winter brings to this region, particularly in the later stages of the official winter season. Knox said that state-of-theart forecasts from various sources are highly accurate; there is always the possibility of an unexpected, unforeseen shift in a weather pattern.

He also performed at Mémoire in June 2021. “Having big name artists and talent at our venues is something we strive to deliver to our guests,” said Joseph Mazzei of Big Night Entertainment.

Some of his top songs are “In da Club,” “21 Questions,” “Candy Shop” and “Disco Inferno.” He has also compiled five albums, starting with “Get Rich or Die Tryin,’” which came out in 2003 and put 50 Cent on the path to stardom. Later albums included “The Massacre,” “Curtis,” “Before I Self Destruct” and “Animal Ambition.” Known as a “master of the nuanced art of lyrical brevity,” 50 Cent boasts a current net worth of approximately $40 million. In addition to performing at the Super Bowl, 50 Cent was a featured performer at the Golden Sand music festival in Riviera Maya, Mexico, last month.

In some cases, novelty makes it easier to maintain a relatively new routine. However, that same new routine is easier to disrupt (because of weather or some other distraction). Part of setting a routine requires a minimum of self-discipline. This means spending certain amount of time working on something. This can be a specific quantity of time per week (__ hours), a specific block of time (Monday and Tuesday, ___a.m.-____a.m.) or getting a certain amount of work done (___ reps or lifts). At my studio (Weigh Better U), we do what we can to support and encourage people to hold to their best habits and reach their goals. At our facility on Main Street in Everett, we have a built-in buddy system with supportive coaches and instructors who make a point of understanding the client as a person, treating regular check-ins as conversations. Another way to hold to a routine is to make it a game, or simply collect data. Counting inches lost or gained (from weight loss or muscle gain) can also make a goal seem more real and thus more possible. My studio offers a 3D body scanner, allowing people to get full-body snapshots of themselves as they begin or continue their new and healthier habits.

STORM | FROM PAGE 4 area can attest, that is why most of the media-driven weather forecasts often “hedge their bets” by offering explanations of different “models” of what could potentially happen, if certain variables came to light. Already this year, the greater Boston area’s snowfall been more than double the previous two year’s full season snowfalls. So far, 48.1 inches of snow has fallen this winter, surpassing the very light winter snowfall totals of the past three years — 2021 (21.8 inches), 2020 (21.6 inches), 2019 (38.7 inches)— and close to being more than four of the next five years before that. The Blizzard of 2022, on January 29-30, was about half of that total for this year, a 23.8-inch deluge of snow. After today’s snowfall, forecast to be between 8-12 inches in greater Boston, this year’s total would be 56-60 inches. That would be higher than 2018 (51.0 inches), 2017 (50.9 inches), 2016 (41.2 inches) and 2014 (50.2 inches). The only mark of the past 10-12 years of snowfall totals that seems out of reach for this year’s total, which could easily be 70-90 inches, would appear to be 2015, when 108.6 inches of snow fell during a whopping 21 days of snowfall events. At this point, however, “Never say never” has to be the mantra, as another blizzard day of 20-plus inches of snow could jack up the totals and as we all well know, we are far from out of the woods, even when March arrives. It is a rare year when no snow falls in March at all around greater Boston. Spring season officially begins on Sunday, March 20— three weeks away this weekend— but that calendar date means nothing to the dynamic duo of neither Mother Nature or ‘Ole’ Man Winter. They will each change seasons when they are good and ready, calendar or no calendar, and not before. Happy shoveling and plowing this weekend, everyone. ׉ 7cassandra://pv8aMWIqNUAuB0ajKDGqxVYVhpJjKN-08lnLa5InE3w.K`̰b.EO#qb.EO#qϿ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://waq0hGa6oXwvY450geLT_W_yr1xxCtvBmvTNNxsOetQ>`)׉ 7cassandra://xlhf3JZ9G5XefoGjvvQma_zle1xshWE0OCUYAjUrV9M͛_`J׉ 7cassandra://nybHM98XwP6AeP6DYMkSsOvs7oS0zF2zEeeMwQe_Hqs-`̰׉ 7cassandra://-qzbuURBkEB1gweTmN1uawi1ZGa6pcpwe6akzjO5yJEv͠b.NO#qט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://KMmBndkOHGAQhV0N9YYXtQa2Oa6KEZoSSm-ostET8DY`)׉ 7cassandra://B-GweEsRXTA1vyX3jQFv4g4hlHnTmIpUuD3JhMR293s͠8`J׉ 7cassandra://DN3TxnSSCC_A1UZBf2FxDpXCfU87ofrDKftd72TcJGk-`̰׉ 7cassandra://HDtCH9I6J2q0vozLuQ5I1i6xJ_qwoKlQSkidJrgMJmUWd͠b.NO#qנb.OO#q79ׁHmailto:Info@advocatenews.netׁ ׁ Ј׉E Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2022 BLACK HISTORY | FROM PAGE 6 setts House of Representatives Honored by the Boston NAACP for his work on civil rights.

The bill recommends $2.4 billion in supplemental appropriations, at a net state cost of $1.6 billion, relying on surplus revenues realized through the fi rst half of FY22. “Massachusetts remains in a strong fi scal position, which enables us to use surplus Fiscal Year 2022 revenues to sustain our eff orts to respond to COVID-19 and invest in areas COUNCIL | FROM PAGE 1 not about to tell people what they can do or can’t do on email,” he said. Resident Paula Sterite asked the councillors to make, what she believes, is the right decision. “We’re not asking you to put on a uniform and go fi ght in a war – all we’re asking is to do the right thing for the people of Everett,” she said. “Giving the mayor any additional money is an insult to every resident and taxpayer, especially when he has already pocketed over $180,000 wrongfully.” Resident John Puopolo said DeMaria’s annual base salary of $191,000 continues to be out of line. “The current salary is more than [the salaries of] many governors in the country,” he said. Further investigation by The Advocate showed that Governor Charlie Baker has the fifth-highest gubernatorial salary in the nation, receiving $185,000 per year. Elsewhere in New England, Vermont Governor Phil Scott receives $184,100, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont receives $150,000, Rhode Island Governor Daniel McKee receives $145,755, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu receives $134,581 and Maine Governor Janet Mills receives $70,000. D During the City Council’s February 17 meeting, Ward 3 Councillor Anthony DiPierro presented his ordinance to keep Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s longevity pay at $2,500 per year. Sandra Juliano, owner of JRS Properties, said DeMaria has not done anything worthy of a longevity bonus. “I do not believe the mayor should be entitled to such a bonus,” she said. “He’s simply doing the job that he is paid to do; this is not private industry.” Resident Janice Lark said DeMaria’s real reward came in November 2021 when he was reelected to a sixth term. “We like to say this bonus is about the position, but we know this is about the mayor,” she said. “The mayor received his reward when he was reelected; he doesn’t need a cash reward.” For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net Resident John Puopolo said the mayor has a higher salary than many governors. Maria Bussell, executive secretary of the Everett Fire Department, said she has worked for the city since 1996 and makes a base salary of $64,000. Although she receives $1,650 per year in longevity pay, it took her a while to reach that point. “I did not start receiving longevity until I was employed for 10 years,” said Bussell. like early education, human services, housing and more,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “Thanks to our careful management of state finances in partnership with the Legislature and the resilience of our economy, revenues continue to exceed projections, making Massachusetts well-positioned to make these investments.” “This supplemental Fiscal Year 2022 spending plan expands on our eff orts to support the Commonwealth’s families and communities, including resources for counseling, advocacy and intervention services to fi ll an important gap in federal funds for victims of crimes,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “We look forward to partnering with the Legislature to make these and other critical investments through this spending plan.” The spending bill proposes a signifi cant investment to stabilize child care providers, special education schools and human service providers to ensure that the critical services that they provide remain available to all who need them, despite enrollment and utilization fl uctuations caused by the pandemic. The legislation includes $450 million to extend Commonwealth Cares for Children (C3) stabilization grants for child care providers through Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23). It also includes $140 million for special education schools to continue support through FY23 that will help address direct care and clinical staffi ng needs and ensure that these schools are able to safely provide residential and day education services to approximately 7,000 people between the ages of three and 21. The bill further proposes $401 million to extend rate enhancements for human service providers and support other investments in Home & Community Based Services; $346 million of this spending is supported by federal funding provided through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), for a total of $55 million in net state cost. The bill increases support for children and families, with a focus on those whose lives have been significantly disrupted by the pandemic. It recommends $100 million for matching grants to youth-focused nonprofits that will support the construction and renovation of new facilities for youngsters across the state. It provides $60 million to maintain access to rental assistance through the Rental Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) program as the federal Emergency Rental Assistance program begins to wind down. Additionally, the bill includes $8.4 million to continue additional short-term assistance to families fostering children during the pandemic, which will benefi t approximately 4,500 foster families caring for 6,700 children.

As an exclusion school, Everett is not eligible to play more than 20 games under the new statewide format, according to the MIAA. By MIAA rules, any games scheduled beyond the 20game maximum are ruled forfeits, with a score of 10-0 to credit the winning team with the minimum margin of victory required to boost its power rating. That means that a win over Newton North and a loss to top-ranked BC High at the recent IAABO Board 27/Comcast Classic, were both ruled forfeits by the MIAA. Everett defeated Newton North, 82-68, in the Comcast Classic semifi nals Sunday at Woburn High, then lost, 7864, to top-ranked BC High on Monday. Both games are now ruled as 10-0 losses. Representatives of the Everett team or athletic department were not able to be reached for comment before press time. Pairings determined by the new statewide tournament Power Ratings system were expected to be released either late this afternoon or Saturday morning. With the new adjustment, Everett is now rated #14 in Division 1 Boys Power Rankings at 18-4. That means the Crimson Tide would still most likely be able to host a fi rst round home game, but would then be facing off against a higher seed than anticipated, should they prevail with a win in the fi rst round. ******* Malden High girls basketball makes State Tourney with win over Lowell Head coach Scott Marino’s Malden High girls’ basketball team qualifi ed for the postseason MIAA Division 1 State Girls Basketball Tournament with a The Malden High School girls’ basketball and Head Coach Scott Marino, third from right, are headed to the MIAA State Tournament for the fi rst time since the early 2000s, Above, they are shown right after their tourney-clinching win over Lowell Wednesday, at home.

Heffernan. “The Baker-Polito Administration is pleased to propose a spending plan that will redirect surplus revenues to high-impact investments in human services, childcare, education, local infrastructure and more that will continue the Commonwealth’s recovery from COVID-19.” The Administration also recommends supporting a range of infrastructure and climate-related needs in local communities. It proposes $100 million for a supplemental Chapter 90 distribution, $100 million to help municipalities repair roads from winter damage and $150 million in supplemental grants to fund climate change resiliency initiatives, including the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) program. Several other initiatives are supported in the supplemental budget proposal, including: • $60 million to stabilize and support counseling, advocacy and intervention services for victims of crime through FY25 until federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) resources are restored • $50 million to support the guardian ad litem expansion proposal (described more fully below) • $14 million to fully fund service improvements for men who are civilly committed for substance use treatment under Section 35 • $10 million to ensure Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled and Children (EAEDC) payments are uninterrupted through caseload volatility • $5 million to expand STEM teacher professional development, materials and technology • $5 million to support the implementation of the new 988 emergency call line • $5 million for Department of Mental Health (DMH) housing repairs and additional housing vouchers • $2 million to optimize government services for hybrid work models • $1.8 million to support behavioral health services for Haitian and Afghan evacuees • $1.1 million for Safe Water Initiative Massachusetts (SWIM) grants and other summer water safety investments.

Henri Salvador Gutierrez, 23, a Salvadoran national, was sentenced to life in prison. In June 2021, Gutierrez pleaded guilty to RICO (from the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) – conspiracy on behalf of MS-13. As part of his activities in furtherance of MS13, Gutierrez played a critical role in two horrific murders in which teenagers were repeatedly stabbed to death in public parks in Massachusetts. Both victims were murdered with extreme atrocity and cruelty in violation of Massachusetts law. MS-13, or La Mara Salvatrucha, is a transnational street gang operating in Massachusetts and numerous other states, as well as countries, such as El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. MS-13 gang members often commit acts of extreme violence against suspected rivals, those suspected of cooperating with law enforcement and others whom the gang views as a threat. The gang is also known for recruiting young members at local high schools, who are then groomed to commit violence in furtherance of the gang’s mission. In recent years, dozens of MS-13 members have been convicted of RICO conspiracy and other serious felonies in the District of Massachusetts. MS-13 is organized into “cliques”: branches operating in local territories. Gutierrez was a member of the “Sykos Locos Salvatrucha” (Sykos) and, previously, the “Trece Locos Salvatrucha” (TLS) cliques of MS13. Achieving promotion in MS-13 generally requires the commission of a significant act of violence, often including murder. The evidence in this case showed that Gutierrez was a “homeboy,” or full member of the MS-13 gang. On December 24, 2016, in furtherance of MS-13’s racketeering activities, Gutierrez participated in the murder of a teenage boy in East Boston. The evidence showed that Gutierrez lured the victim to a public soccer stadium based on Gutierrez’s belief that the victim might have been associated with a rival gang. Gutierrez personally stabbed the victim numerous times and left the victim’s body at the bottom of a stairwell. An autopsy revealed the victim had at least a dozen sharp force wounds consistent with a stabbing, with significant injuries to the neck, chest and back. His throat appeared to have been slashed, and he had multiple incised wounds to the neck and multiple stab wounds to the chest. In 2017 – while the December 2016 murder remained unsolved and unrelated to that investigation – immigration authorities arrested Gutierrez as part of ongoing removal proceedings. Gutierrez had entered the United States unlawfully in 2014 and was facing deportation. Authorities sought to remove Gutierrez from the United States and pointed to evidence of his association with MS-13 as part of the reasons to oppose Gutierrez’s petition for asylum and other relief. Gutierrez submitted an affidavit and testified under oath at his removal proceedings. Through his statements, Gutierrez misled the immigration court, telling the court that he was not associated with MS-13, had not committed prior violence and was committed to living a peaceful life in the United States. Relying in part on Gutierrez’s false testimony, in an order dated June 22, 2018, a United States Immigration Judge ordered Gutierrez released and adjusted his status to that of a person admitted for lawful permanent residence in the United States. On July 30, 2018, barely a month after being released from immigration custody, Gutierrez committed his second murder, this time with five members of the Sykos clique of MS-13. The six assailants, four of who were secretly armed with knives, took a 17-year-old boy to a park in Lynn and pretended to be friendly with the unsuspecting victim. At the scene, the six men surrounded the victim and repeatedly stabbed and hacked him to death. After killing the victim, the gang members left his body in the wooded area of the public park, where it was discovered on August 2, BLACK HISTORY | SEE PAGE 18 ׉ 7cassandra://jCc7gtsnkR0P3Q79jBSCHeqc-rqOrr4357U2dXEa-9s#F`̰b.EO#q׉E^THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2022 Page 17 Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen GET A FREE SUBSCRIPTION TO MASSTERLIST – Join more than 22,000 people, from movers and shakers to political junkies and interested citizens, who start their weekday morning with MASSterList— the popular newsletter that chronicles news and informed analysis about what’s going on up on Beacon Hill, in Massachusetts politics, policy, media and influence.

Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ votes on roll calls from the week of February 14-18. There were no roll calls in the Senate last week. DRIVER’S LICENSES FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS (H 4461) House 120-36, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would allow people who are unable to prove lawful presence in the United States to apply for a Massachusetts driver’s license by providing two documents. The first document is a valid unexpired foreign passport or valid unexpired consular ID. The second is a valid non-Massachusetts U.S. driver’s license, birth certificate, valid foreign national ID card, valid foreign driver’s license or a marriage certificate or divorce decree. The measure also provides that when processing an application for a Massachusetts license, the registry is prohibited from inquiring about or creating a record of an applicant’s citizenship or immigration status. “In line with the 16 other states that have passed laws offering standard licenses to those providing secure identification documents, this carefully crafted public safety legislation will mean that all drivers using our roads are identifiable, competent and insured,” said Rep. Bill Straus (D-Mattapoisett), House Chair of the Committee on Transportation. “I oppose this legislation as it creates an incentive and encourages more illegal immigration to Massachusetts by allowing those who are undocumented and here illegally to get a driver’s license,” said Rep. Paul Frost (R-Auburn). “The federal government must address the matter of those who are here illegally and tackle the flow of illegal immigration into the country before we start giving out government issued IDs to undocumented individuals here illegally in Massachusetts. It sends a wrong message to those who are going through the intended process of legally immigrating to the country.” “The [bill] will make Massachusetts roads safer and more accessible for all, ensuring all drivers have the same safety training, standardized identification and insurance,” said Rep. Tricia Farley-Bouvier (D-Pittsfield), sponsor of the original version of the measure. “I could not support the bill because I have serious concerns about the message it sends, how it will be enforced and whether it will truly improve road safety as its proponents have claimed,” said GOP Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “Making driver’s licenses available to undocumented immigrants is unfair to those individuals who have followed the law to secure lawful presence status or citizenship. I’m also concerned that many individuals who will now be eligible for a license will instead continue to drive without a license and without insurance, either because they distrust the government and won’t come forward to apply or because they don’t want to pay the added costs of carrying insurance.” “I filed this bill to enable all residents, regardless of immigration status, to apply for a driver’s license so they can get to work, take their children to school and doctor appointments and buy groceries,” said Rep. Christine Barber (D-Somerville), another sponsor of the original bill. “The idea that individuals can cut in line and illegally enter the United States of America, then be rewarded with the privilege of obtaining a Massachusetts driver’s license, shows yet again just how far left the state Legislature has become,” said Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Lyons. “This new law will only serve to encourage more illegal immigration and make the problem much worse.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes REQUIRE REGISTRY OF MOTOR VEHICLES TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO CITIES AND TOWNS (H 4441) House 31-125, rejected an amendment to a section of the bill that prohibits the Registry of Motor Vehicles from disclosing personally identifying information and communications regarding any applicant for a Massachusetts driver’s license or learner’s permit, “including failure to provide proof of lawful presence in the United States,” unless specifically authorized to do so under regulations that are to be drafted by the attorney general’s office. The amendment would make this information automatically available to municipal clerks attempting to verify the identity and eligibility of someone using a Massachusetts license to vote or to register to vote. “I think it’s perfectly reasonable for these regulations to include, at a minimum, language that will ensure the sharing of information with municipal clerks seeking to verify a voter’s identity and eligibility, and with law enforcement officials conducting an investigation,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading.) Rep. Patricia Farley-Bouvier (D-Pittsfield) said she opposed the amendment due to the violation of privacy that would occur had it been adopted not just for immigrants without legal status who would newly be applying for standard driver’s licenses, but also for all license applicants. “[The bill] was carefully drafted to protect the privacy of all who are applying for licenses in Massachusetts and ensure immigrants without status would trust that their legal status would not be disclosed beyond the standards for all current license holders i.e. for law enforcement investigations or insurance purposes,” said Bouvier. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of February 14-18, the House met for a total of six hours and 33 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 50 minutes. Mon.

An autopsy revealed that the victim suff ered at least 32 distinct sharp force trauma wounds consistent with being stabbed repeatedly, along with multiple blunt force injuries. The victim also had small pieces of metal embedded in his head, consistent with parts of the large knives breaking with the force of the strikes to the victim’s skull. The evidence in this case, which included a recording of Gutierrez describing the murder in graphic detail and boasting about it, revealed that the gang members murdered the victim based on their mistaken belief that he might have been assisting law enforcement. In the recordings, Gutierrez seemingly took pleasure in recounting the horrific act and expressed laughter while saying the murder was like “chopping wood,” as he and fellow gang members “were stabbing the knife right through him, bringing it down like [...] Bang, bang, bang, bang!” Following an investigation in November 2018, Gutierrez was indicted along with the fi ve other MS-13 members who participated in the July 2018 murder in Lynn. The six defendants in this case included fi ve participants in the 2018 murder as well as one longstanding member of the Sykos clique. In a related case, the government charged a juvenile co-conspirator who was the sixth person involved in the murder. All six defendants indicted in this case, along with the juvenile charged in the related case, have pleaded guilty. Gutierrez is the third defendant to be sentenced in the case. On February 14, Erick Lopez Flores was sentenced to 40 years in prison. On February 15, Jonathan Tercero Yanes, was sentenced to 33 years in prison. Djavier Duggins was scheduled to be sentenced for RICO conspiracy on February 17. Sentencing hearings for the two remaining codefendants, Eliseo Vaquerano Canas and Marlos Reyes, have not been scheduled. Sa nir Sa a H C y Senior Seni by Jim Miller i Dear Savvy Senior, What is the best way to deal with older drivers who probably shouldn’t be driving anymore? My dad, who’s 86, is bound and determined to keep driving as long as he’s alive. Backseat Daughter Dear Backseat, For many families, talking to an elderly parent about giving up the car keys can be a very diffi cult and sensitive topic. While there’s no one way to handle this issue, here are a few suggestions that can help you evaluate your dad’s driving and ease him out from behind the wheel when the time is right. Take a Ride To get a clear picture of your dad’s driving abilities, a good fi rst step, if you haven’t already done so, is to take a ride with him and watch for problem areas. For example: Does he have diffi culty seeing, backing up or changing lanes? Does he react slowly, get confused easily or make poor driving decisions? Does he drive at inappropriate speeds, tailgate or drift between lanes? Also, has your dad had any fender benders or tickets lately, or have you noticed any dents or scrapes on his vehicle? These, too, are red fl ags. If you need some help and your dad is willing, consider hiring a driver rehabilitation specialist who’s trained to evaluate elderly drivers and provide safety suggestions. This type of assessment typically costs between $200 and $400. To locate a professional in your area, visit AOTA.org/ older-driver or ADED.net. Transitioning and Talking After your assessment, if you think it’s still safe for your dad to drive, see if he would be willing to take an older driver refresher course. These courses will show him how aging aff ects driving skills and off ers tips and adjustments to help keep him safe. Taking a class may also earn your dad a discount on his auto insurance. To locate a class, contact your local AAA (AAA.com) or AARP (AARPdriversafety.org, 888227-7669). Most courses cost around $20 to $30 and can be taken online. If, however, your assessHow to Convince an Elderly Parent to Stop Driving nior Eldl ior ment shows that your dad really does need to stop driving, you need to have a talk with him, but don’t get carried away. If you begin with a dramatic outburst like “Dad, you’re going to kill someone!” you’re likely to trigger resistance. Start by simply expressing your concern for his safety. For more tips on how to talk to your dad about this and evaluate his driving skills, the Hartford Financial Services Group and MIT AgeLab off ers a variety of resources to assist you. Visit TheHartford.com/lifetime and click on “Publications” on the menu bar, then on the “We Need to Talk” guidebook. Refuses to Quit If your dad refuses to quit, you have several options. One possible solution is to suggest a visit to his doctor who can give him a medical evaluation, and if warranted, “prescribe” that he stops driving. Older people will often listen to their doctor before they will listen to their own family. If he still refuses, contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles to see if they can help. Or call in an attorney to discuss with your dad the potential fi nancial and legal consequences of a crash or injury. If all else fails, you may just have to take away his keys. Alternative Transportation Once your dad stops driving, he’s going to need other ways to get around, so help him create a list of names and phone numbers of family, friends and local transportation services that he can call on. To fi nd out what transportation services are available in your dad’s area contact Rides in Sight (RidesInSight. org, 855-607-4337), and the Eldercare Locator (800-6771116), which will direct you to his area agency on aging for assistance.
