Only 2,864 out of 22,918, or 12.49%, went to the polls. “It was defi - nitely lower than what I expected, but we did expect a low turnout because there weren’t many contested races,” City Clerk Sergio Cornelio said on election night, in reference to forgone conclusions in the presidential races and all ward party committee candidates being elected. The only competitive races were those for state party committees to represent Everett, Chelsea and other communities. Weather also aff ects turnouts and it was a cold and rainy day. In the Democratic presidential primary, President Joe Biden got 1,096 voters (69.19%), ahead of 237 No Preference votes, Dean Phillips’ 122 and Marianne Williamson’s 64 and 63 Blanks. Statewide, Biden received 83% of the votes. In the Republican presidential primary, former President Donald Trump got 972 votes (80.9%), ahead of former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley’s 198 (16.4%), 10 as No Preference, 5 each for Chris Christie and Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy’s 3, Asa Hutchinson’s 2, 2 Blanks and 1 Ryan Binkley. Christie, DeSantis, Hutchinson, Ramaswamy and now Haley had all previously withdrawn from the race. Statewide, Trump received 60% of the votes, Haley 36%. There was also a presidential primary for the Libertarian Party. Half the votes (16) expressed No Preference and 5 were Blank, followed by Jacob Hornberger’s 3, 2 each for Michael Rectenwald, Chase Oliver and Michael Ter Maat and 1 for Lars Mapstead.

After speaking with principals, teachers and guidance counselors, I believe no solution should be off the table. Every building has diff erent needs and ideas to maximize space.” She and other new members spoke with employees at the schools while touring the Adams, Lafayette and Webster Schools and the High School on February 9. “Every location is doing a fantastic job optimizing space in the buildings, but I think we can all agree how we are currently operating is not an ideal learning or working environment,” Hurley reacted to what she saw. “Hallway learning is distracting and, even though they are spacious, converted utility closets are not ideal spaces. Some have no windows or glass on their doors because they were closets.” She also said some of the temporary modules being used at Webster lack running water, bathrooms or well circulated air. “Webster has modules extended from the back of the main building,” Hurley reported. “They were originally installed as a temporary solution, hence no direct plumbing. Students and staff have to go into the main building to use restrooms, which was stressed to be an inconvenience.” Nevertheless, she praised teachers for “making the best of these situations and creating warm and welcoming learning spaces. Kids don’t feel they’re out of place, but there is a sense of disjointedness.” The use of modular units were topics of discussion at the September 11 and 25 City Council meetings last year. In the latter, $150,000 of American Rescue Plan Act funds was appropriated to hire an Owner’s Project Manager to study using them. Mayor Carlo DeMaria hopes they can be in place at various schools in September, although topography will make it impossible at the Devens School and High School. He touted their use at colleges. Everett is one of the very few school systems with kindergarten to 8th grade neighborhood schools, although at one time the Parlin School was a junior high school. The 2019 closure of Pope John XXIII High School, now owned by the City of Everett and slated for housing, and the age of the old Everett High School on Broadway, now being used for preschool and other programs, prompted the building of the current High School in 2007 and eventually led to K-8 neighborhood schools. Saugus, on the other hand, opened a new Middle/High School complex in 2020, converted their Middle School to a townwide upper elementary school, and one elementary school to a townwide lower elementary school and closed their neighborhood schools. Marblehead opened their new High School in 2002, converted the old High School into a Middle School, converted the original Middle School/Junior High into a townwide upper elementary school and recently consolidated the lowest grades into two elementary schools.

The Healthy Youth Act, S.2686, would enhance parental rights and codify into law the voluntary framework approved by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). It calls for sex and relationship education to be inclusive and appropriate for students regardless of gender, race, disability status, sexual orientation and gender identity. “The Healthy Youth Act will fi nally make it clear that sex and relationship education in Massachusetts must be inclusive of all students and emphasize the importance and necessity of consent in relationships,” said Senator DiDomenico, who is Assistant Majority Leader and lead sponsor of the Senate bill. “We must fi - nally get this commonsense health policy over the fi nish line to ensure our children have the information they need to protect their health, form respectful relationships, and build the bright futures they deserve. I want to thank Senate President Spilka, Chair Rodrigues, Chair Lewis, and all the advocates who have worked tirelessly to give our children the best education available.” “The true north for the Massachusetts Senate is providing our young people and families with every tool possible to empower them to live a bright future, right here in our state,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “Inclusive and medically accurate sex and relationship education is fundamental to supporting residents in building that future, and critical if we want to continue leading and competing in all aspects of education nationally. Thanks to the relentless work of Senator DiDomenico, and the tireless support from Chair Lewis and all who have worked so hard on this eff ort, Massachusetts has an opportunity to continue to lead in this space.” This is the fi fth consecutive session during which the Senate has adopted similar legislation. On March 6, 2024, the House referred the bill to its committee on Ways and Means. Requiring medically accurate curriculum for public schools teaching sex and relationship education The Healthy Youth Act mandates ensuring that students in public schools that offer sexual health education are receiving, and teachers have guidance on, curricula that is age-appropriate, medically accurate, comprehensive and inclusive of LGBTQ+ health and lessons on consent. The Act mandates incorporating comprehensive sex and relationship education that could support students in delaying the initiation of sex, increasing use of contraception, lowering the rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancy among teens and reducing reported levels of bullying towards LGBTQ+ youths in school. Curricula for schools that choose to teach sex and relationship education would include the following: the benefi ts of delaying sex; human anatomy, reproduction and sexual development; eff ective contraceptive use; prevention of pregnancy and STIs; relationship and communication skills to form healthy relationships; coverage of affi rmative, conscious and voluntary consent; and age-appropriate information about gender identity and Senator Sal DiDomenico spoke in favor of S.2686, An Act relative to healthy youth, on the Senate fl oor.

Protecting and enhancing parental notification and rights This legislation also protects and enhances parents’ right to remove their children from all or part of the sex and relationship education program if they choose to do so – an action already protected by state law. Additionally, this bill updates parent-notifi - cation guidelines for districts that choose to teach sex and relationship education curriculum and requires schools to send notice to parents in English and in other commonly spoken languages in the district. Notice would alert parents that their child is enrolled in a sex and relationship education course and would inform them of their right to review the curriculum or opt their child out of some or all of the lessons. Building on the DESE education framework The Healthy Youth Act mandates codifying into law the health education framework approved by DESE last year, which is currently only a voluntary guideline for school districts in the Commonwealth. If passed, the legislation would strengthen the impact of the new health education framework and create standards for sex and relationship curricula in public schools. The Healthy Youth Act would require the DESE to collect data on sex and relationship education taught in public schools and require DESE to review and update the framework at least every 10 years to ensure the sex and relationship education guidelines remain comprehensive and are meeting the needs of students. The bill has the support of a broad coalition of education and LGBTQ+ advocates around the state. The following are statements from some of its supporters. BILL | SEE PAGE 7 Lawrence A.

While being bullied can lead to poor self-esteem and withdrawal from school and everyday activities, it can also lead to self-harm and suicide. Parents must know all they can about bullying. What they don’t know about it could be hurting their children or, at the very least, not helping them get through it healthily. The more parents know about it, the better off their children will be in the fi ght against it. “We all know that bullying exists, but most of us are not sure how to identify it or what to do about it,” says Stand for the Silent Cofounder Kirk Smalley. “We have to improve as a nation in preventing and addressing it so that our children don’t suff er.” Smalley knows all too well the suff ering that bullying can lead to. His 11-year-old son committed suicide due to bullying, which led him to start the organization to help raise awareness for other families. The facts surrounding suicide and our youngsters are eye-opening and something that everyone should be aware of. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicide is a severe public health challenge. It is the second leading cause of death in those ages 10-24, making up 15% of all suicides. From 2000 to 2021, there was a 52% increase in the number of suicides among this age group, and there is also a high rate of emergency department visits for self-harm. There are things parents, teachers and others in the community need to know about bullying so they can help protect kids and teens. They must know how to recognize it, what actions to take when they identify it, how to discuss it with their kids and where to get additional support. Stand for the Silent off ers the information parents need to help navigate the situation, including giving community talks and seminars and offering downloadable guides on their website. Here are crucial signs that your child might be being bullied and what to do about it: • Sudden changes in school attendance, avoiding recess or being withdrawn • Complaining of headaches, stomach aches or a loss of appetite before going to school and returning home • Having diffi culty concentrating, displaying signs of anxiety or depression or talking about running away or suicide • Having a noticeable diff erence from other students or a learning disability • Lacking the ability to be self-assertive or having insuffi - cient social skills and body language, reflecting low self-esteem • Having injuries and not providing clear explanations of how they got them • If a child is being bullied, be prepared to take action. First, ensure the child is okay and remove them from the situation. Ensure they know they are supported and cared about and in a safe space.

We look forward to working with the House to pass the Healthy Youth Act this session so that the state’s exciting new Health and Physical Education Framework can reach its full potential and do the most to support our students and teachers.” “Ensuring that Massachusetts schools are places where all students feel safe and supported––no exceptions––has never been so urgent,” said EducateUS Executive Director/ Healthy Youth Coalition CoChair Jaclyn Friedman. “The type of sex and relationship education provided for by the Healthy Youth Act is proven to protect young people against bullying, abuse, and feelings of isolation. We applaud the Senate’s steadfast and timely commitment to young people across Massachusetts.” “We are excited to learn that, once again, the Healthy Youth Act has passed the Senate,” said Massachusetts Commission on LGBTQ+ Youth Executive Director Shaplaie Brooks. “This tells us that the number one priority for the Senate is comprehensive, intersectional, and medically-accurate health education for students in the Commonwealth. With this win, we believe that the Senate has weighed the pros and cons of this life-saving legislation, and ultimately centered the importance of cultivating a safe environment for students to engage a modern curriculum that refl ects the issues they face every day and answers their questions about healthy relationships––rooted in consent. The Commission believes that the House understands the same, and urges it to take up this bill immediately. We are at a pivotal moment in our Commonwealth’s history where we have a chance for all youth including LGBTQ youth to receive critical information that can equip them with the tools to keep themselves safe, be a safe person in their relationships, understand the risks and red fl ags specifi c to their communities, and have the autonomy to make informed decisions based on the power of knowledge and not fear.” ׉ 7cassandra://2QOIVnmNBHEeSKP4eZuzfzY43SYbf0NvuuSc7R7JRtY*`̰er'g3er'g2 PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://H1zqbpi1jFy5kSDWUFLgQX7kmeXR3xrvRSEnJBrlqxM&`)׉ 7cassandra://fX7LZ7U6gDxLz5Zn1E-tlvHojK1NfVRjYIXMqsfcR1k͟ `J׉ 7cassandra://jFAZd5xrW-1-fbUnF3mfBO_246Wl0QqtjsNLGb7gWHk,`̰ez'geט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://b0LlcSGUYvsxdFAhC8RovihTdifJduczFNkJzxsB-GQ`)׉ 7cassandra://ct8E9eEUkSobAO7ExjT_rtCOadfk5_1HBx5Mjrc-dHg͗z`J׉ 7cassandra://wNZaQi_6dahNwSo5DOS5gJo_8bODk_HtZwsByxzbyFY-`̰ez'gfנe{'gl̠ 9ׁHhttp://Commonmoves.comׁ ׁ Јנe{'gk 9ׁHhttp://www.advocatenews.netׁ ׁ Јנe{'gjÁ9ׁHhttp://www.roller-world.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E$Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 8, 2024 DISCUSSION | FROM PAGE 2 The long-term plan for Everett is to build a new High School at Rivergreen Park, complete with a vocational program, and presumably convert the current High School into a Middle School, but the funding, approval and building process could take years, if it happens at all. Last September 25, Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith noted, “I haven’t heard one person say they want modules.” She wondered if the vacant Pope John could be used instead. “I love the long-term plan. It’s the short-term plan I disagree with,” she said. September 11, in Public Participation, Margaret Cornelio said, “People don’t want the modules. They look terrible and will make our city look run down.” She now represents Ward 1 on the School Committee. “We need to start pursuing feasible ways to address overcrowding,” she said on February 27. “We have to have a discussion to fi nd a concrete solution. A tangible solution is long overdue.” The members approved her suggestion to discuss the matter further at the March 18 meeting. “This has to be a collaborative conversation with the City Council,” Vice Chairperson Samantha Lambert feels. “I’ve asked the City Council to create a School Study Commission, not just address our needs now, but so we can look Law Offices of JOSEPH D.

That is $51,120 (3.52%) higher than the Fiscal Year 2024 tuition of $1,450,440. SEEM uses public funds to educate students who can’t be educated in their home district because the support they need isn’t offered. Although not used as a name anymore, SEEM originally stood for Special Education of Education Mutual. It has 11 member communities, which are Lynnfi eld, Melrose, North Andover, North Reading, Reading, Saugus, Stoneham, Wilmington, Winchester and Woburn. Programs are off ered at schools in Lynnfi eld, Melrose, Stoneham, Wakefield and Wilmington. There are also 48 non-member communities, including Chelsea, Malden and Revere along with Everett. The total projected Fiscal Year 2025 Budget is $36,801,722, up $899,949 (2.51%) from $35,901,773 in Fiscal 2024. Tuition will comprise 62.76% of SEEM’s revenue. Member community tuitions will total $4,409, 280 (12%), while non-member community tuitions are $18,687,200 (51%). “In accordance with the SEEM mission, the budget reflects the goals to exercise fi scal responsibility to minimize expenses while maximizing services and exist as a viable option to school districts by attracting and retaining qualifi ed staff while off ering competitive salary and benefits,” reads their Fiscal 2025 Budget Highlights report. Both the Fiscal Year 2024 and 2025 budget are balanced, with revenue equaling expenses, dovetailing with the goal to “use methodology to determine tuition and fee for service rates based on determining projected expenses and projected enrollment and then establishing tuition and fees at a level that will generate enough revenue to cover projected expenses.” In Fiscal 2023 $32,958, 931 in revenue exceeded $32,731,346 in expenses. ׉ 7cassandra://jFAZd5xrW-1-fbUnF3mfBO_246Wl0QqtjsNLGb7gWHk,`̰er'g4׉E2THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 8, 2024 Page 9 Melrose Arts & Crafts Society Meeting 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 Judi Lamentea instructs members on how to make their own earrings.

During FY 2021, the DEA made 3,138 arrests for fentanyl, 2,591 arrests for heroin and 676 arrests for other opioid offenses. From FY 2020 to FY 2021, there was a 36% increase in arrests made by the DEA for fentanyl and a 29% decrease in arrests for heroin. The DEA also reported an increase (1,528 arrests, or 6%) in total drug arrests from FY 2020 to FY 2021. Fentanyl arrests made up 11% of that total; heroin, 9%; and other opioids, 2%. The majority (55%) of drug arrests were for methamphetamine (33%) and cocaine (22%). Arrests for heroin, fentanyl and other opioids increased from 4,830 in FY 2001 to a peak of 8,258 in 2015, then declined to 6,405 in FY 2021. Of the 6,405 total persons arrested by the DEA for opioids as the primary drug in FY 2021, 52% were ages 21 to 34, while 11% were age 50 or older and 5% were age 20 or younger. Males made up 80% and females 20% of persons arrested for opioids. In FY 2021, 1,679 persons were sentenced for drug offenses involving fentanyl—a 45% increase from FY 2020. “Beyond the overall increase in fentanyl sentences from FY 2020, looking at regional patterns in FY 2021, sentences imposed for drug offenses involving heroin, fentanyl and other opioids made up a larger share of drug sentences imposed in northeastern states than in other regions,” said Kevin M. Scott, Ph.D., BJS Acting Director. “Most persons sentenced for heroin, fentanyl and other opioids (97%) were sentenced for drug trafficking.” Males accounted for 82% of persons sentenced for a drug offense involving opioids in FY 2021 and females accounted for 18%. The majority (77%) of persons sentenced in FY 2021 for drug offenses involving heroin, fentanyl or other opioids as the primary drug were Hispanic (39%) or black (38%), with white (21%); American Indian (1%); and Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (1%) comprising the remainder. Most (86%) persons sentenced for opioid-related drug offenses were U.S. citizens. Non-U.S. citizens comprised 14% of persons sentenced for a drug offense involving opioids, with 7% being citizens of Mexico, followed by 4% with citizenship in a Caribbean country. Of those individuals sentenced for an opioid-related offense, 89% received a prison term. Most persons sentenced for drug offenses involving heroin (89%) or fentanyl (87%) had a prior criminal history at sentencing and received a median prison term of 46 months. Persons sentenced for oxycodone received a median prison term of 26 months, and those sentenced for hydrocodone received a median term of 24 months. Among individuals sentenced for any opioid-related offense, 67% received a shorter sentence than the guideline range. These and other findings are from BJS’s Federal Justice Statistics Program, which collects data from the U.S. Marshals Service, DEA, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, Federal Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Sentencing Commission.

As we spring forward this weekend, remember to check your alarms when you change your clocks. Be sure they’re present on every level of your home. And unless you have newer alarms with sealed, long-life batteries, this is a great time to replace the alkaline batteries in all your alarms.” Most fatal fi res occur in oneand two-family homes: Of 45 fi re deaths in Massachusetts last year, 31 – nearly 70% – took place at home. Nearly 75% of these residential fi re deaths took place in one- and two-family homes. Investigators found working smoke alarms at just one-third of those dwellings. Replace expired alarms: “Smoke and CO alarms are like any other appliance – they don’t last forever,” said Hyannis Fire Chief Peter Burke, who is president of the Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts. “An alarm’s manufacturing date is printed on the back of the device. Smoke alarms need to be replaced after 10 years, and carbon monoxide alarms need to be replaced after 5, 7, or 10 years, depending on the make and model. If your alarm is out of date, or if there’s no date at all, it’s time to replace it.” Replacing an out-of-date alarm? The Massachusetts Comprehensive Fire Safety Code requires replacement battery-operated smoke alarms in older one- and two-family homes to be photoelectric and have sealed, long-life batteries and a hush feature. These alarms are easier to maintain and less likely to be disabled while cooking or by someone using the batteries for other household appliances. “Disabling a smoke alarm puts you and everyone in your building at risk,” said Chief Burke. “Test your alarms once a month to be sure you and the people you care for are protected.” Fire officials recommend that you choose alarms from a well-known, national brand. Look for the mark of an independent testing laboratory, such as UL or Intertek. Many Massachusetts fire departments have found alarms purchased on Amazon and other online retailers that do not meet the Fire Code – and may not perform when they’re needed most. “If the price seems too good to be true, then it probably is,” said Davine. Create & practice a home escape plan: “We have less time than ever before to escape a fi re at home,” said Davine. “You could have three minutes to escape safely. Creating and practicing a home escape plan that includes two routes out will help you make the most of that precious time to get outside before poisonous gases and heat make escape impossible.” “Working smoke alarms and a practiced home escape plan are among the most fundamental and important tools for surviving a fi re,” said Chief Burke. “Be sure everyone in the home knows what to do and where to go when the alarm sounds, including young children, older adults, and people with disabilities. Always keep doorways, stairways, and windows clear of furniture and other obstructions so you can leave quickly and safely.” Older adults at greatest risk: More than half of last year’s fire deaths involved adults aged 65 and older. In FY23, the Department of Fire Services’ Senior SAFE grant program awarded more than $575,000 to hundreds of fire departments across Massachusetts to support assistance with alarm installation and testing. Older adults who need help testing, maintaining or replacing smoke alarms should contact their local fi re department, council on aging or senior center for assistance. Carbon monoxide hazards: Heating equipment is the leading source of carbon monoxide at home, Davine said, but winter isn’t over yet and CO remains a hazard even in warmer weather. While many carbon monoxide incidents involve furnaces and other heating appliances, CO is also produced by stoves, grills and vehicles, as well as generators put into use during a power outage. “Firefi ghters detect carbon monoxide at about 5,000 calls each year in Massachusetts, and we’ve already seen cases of fatal carbon monoxide poisoning in 2024,” said Chief Burke. “We can’t see, smell, or taste carbon monoxide. Working CO alarms are the only way to detect this silent, invisible killer. If you hear you CO alarms sounding, get out to fresh air and call 9-1-1 right away.” Come watch Polymnia Choral Society tell the story of Anne Frank’s diary, life and legacy F or over 70 years, Polymnia Choral Society has been delivering great performances to acknowledge and honor the important times in our lives.

BULLYING | FROM PAGE 6 facts about what happened and document them. Then, take action to report the bullying to the school and, possibly, authorities and monitor the response that is being taken. If not much is done, take it further up the chain of command until something is done to address the situation. Some families might also consider taking legal action, depending on the situation. “We have to all come together to end this problem in our country,” adds Smalley. “Parents, teachers, community members and students should all be aware and work together to prevent and address it. We help people learn how to do that.” Smalley and his wife, Laura, started the organization following their 11-year-old son ending his own life due to bullying. They turned their pain and loss into a mission of helping others. He travels the country giving presentations about bullying to schools, providing bullying prevention, giving out scholarships, off ering intervention strategies, and more. Those interested in getting involved can start a chapter of the group in their area, obtain a free K-2 bullying-prevention curriculum or cyberbullying handbook for parents, host a presentation at their school, get an intro of how all started video and donate to help support the cause.

The following is the list of Greater Boston League (GBL) all-stars from Everett, who participated in the eight extra-curricular sports on the Tide’s winter calendar. The boys basketball team finished the regular season with a 15-5 record. They were the 36th seed in the Division 1 state tournament. They ended up losing to host Haverhill (10-11, 29th seed) in a preliminary round heartbreaker, 69-67. The Hillies sank a clutch three-point basket with Bottom row, shown from left to right: Malica Guillaume, Taisha Alexandre, Dori Vilson, Emilia Maria-Babcock, Malaica Guillaume, and Gleidy Tejada Sanchez. Top row, shown from left to right: Assistant Coaches Alex Strempel with Courtney Meninger, Casey Martinez, Sonia Flores, Clarice Alexis, Gerniah Boyce, Kaesta Sandy, Manal Bouhou, Katerin Landaverde and Head Coach Riley Dunn. CRIMSON TIDE CAPTAINS: Shown from left to right: Head Coach Gerard Boyce, with Co-Captains Cleevence Erilus, Leison Ruiz, Lian Dorosario Santos, Jaysaun Coggins, and Assistant Coach Lawan Swain. (Advocate fi le photo) 6.6-seconds left on the clock to seal the deal. Despite the bitter loss, the Everett boys, under the direction of fi rst-year head coach Gerard Boyce, still had a tremendous season, and as a result they were awarded with three players making the league all-star team. Junior Jaysaun Coggins, and seniors Lian Dorosario and Allsin Desruisseaux made the elite squad in recognition of their extraordinary play on the court this winter. The girls basketball team fi nished up with an 8-12 record, but they were still in the postseason mix right up until the fi nal week of the regular season. Emilia Maria Babcock and Malaica Guillaume did their part to keep their teammates in the Division 1 state tournament hunt, and for their efforts they too made the GBL all-star team. The Everett boys co-op hockey team fi nished up with a 6-13-1 record. They did not qualify for the Division 3 tournament. Jake Simpson and Jacky Summers, both of Malden, were chosen all-stars by the league coaches to represent the club. Darrynn Desrameaux and Suzanne Maharjan are the girls indoor track all-stars from Everett, while Kayshaun Eveillard, Dawens Germain and Donald Michel made the starstudded GBL boys squad. Maria Medeiros and Kevin Argueta are the Tide’s wrestling all-stars. Hockey cheerleaders Rebecca Hickey and Alyssa Parziale also went to the head of the class as league all-stars, along with basketball cheerleader Ana Luiza Silva.

In Ward 2, its City Councillor, Stephanie Martins, got 172 votes; Michelle Garrity-Goudey, 119; James Henderson, 103; Rebecca Garrity, 99; and John Goudey, 94. In Ward 3, State Senator Sal DiDomenico got 86 votes; Councillor-at-Large Katy Rogers, 145; City Clerk Sergio Cornelio and Francis Parker, 126 each; Tricia Tankevich DiDomenico and Michael Dantone, 98. “I’m excited to serve the Democratic Party,” Cornelio said. In Ward 4, Patricia Cheever got 165 votes; Brendan Michael Mangan, 157; Jessica Gold Boots and John Zakrosky, 125 each; and Timothy Boots, 111. In Ward 5, City Council President Robert Van Campen got 139 votes; Lisa Van Campen, 121; its ward School Committee Member, Marcony Almeida-Barros, 118; former City Councillor Rosa DiFlorio, 111; and City Committee Chair Mark Puleo, 102. “The results were positive for the president and local candidates,” Puleo said. In Ward 6, Danielle Pietrantonio got 116 votes; its former City Councillor, Alfred Lattanzi, 107; School Committee Member At-Large Samantha Lambert, 92; Thomas Abruzzese, 86; and Mary Puleo, 79. “I’m pleased,” Lattanzi said of the results. Coming Saturday morning, March 9, Democrats will meet at the Connolly Center on Chelsea Street to pick delegates to the state party convention. No slates were off ered in Republican or Libertarian Ward Committee races. “Massachusetts is a Democratic state and Everett is a Democratic city,” Sergio Cornelio gave as an explanation. In the Democrat State Committee races, in which one man and one woman are elected, Brian Corr got 1,070 votes, running unopposed for the man’s position. In the woman’s race, Olivia Walsh got 516 votes; Danielle Allen, 433, and Henrietta Davis, 323. In the Republican State Committeeman race, Chelsea City Councillor Todd Taylor got 535 voters and John Olds, 367. Taylor represents Chelsea’s Prattville area, which is adjacent to Everett. In the Republican State Committeewoman race, Regina Taylor got 703 votes, running unopposed. At the polls, precinct wardens reported slow going. “Maybe there isn’t much excitement and the weather may be why,” Ward 3, Precinct 1 Warden Ruthy Dottin said at the Whittier Community Center. “It’s slow, but we’ve had little spurts,” Ward 4, Precinct 1 Warden Lawrence Arinello reported from the Lafayette School. “The day hasn’t dragged.” Ward 5, Precinct 3 Warden Philomena Mullen at the Parlin School also said it was slow. At City Hall, Ward 5, Precinct 2 Warden Linda Shedden felt the response was “not bad considering it’s a primary. We had a lot of mailin votes, so I didn’t expect a lot of walk-ins. I’m sure we’ll be busier in November. A lot of people wait.” There was some speculation Democrats, Libertarians and others took Republican ballots to vote for Haley. “Unaffi liated voters may have,” Arinello said. “It’s anybody’s guess, but I wouldn’t be surprised about that,” Todd Taylor added. Losing candidates performing above expectations can be considered winners, although usually only in the earliest caucuses or primaries. Did Haley perform above expectations? Not enough to keep her in the race, and she withdrew the day after the primary, setting the stage for a Biden vs. Trump rematch in November. Todd Taylor said it was “too late for moral victories; most Republicans in Mass. support Trump” and that she had to “win outright” to stay in the race. Haley did win in Vermont, adding to her victory in Washington, D.C., the week before, but those two areas are uncharacteristic of the Republican Party. The last time a major party candidate was its nominee in three or more consecutive elections was in 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944 when Franklin Roosevelt was the Democratic nominee and winner four straight times. The last time two candidates met in consecutive general election presidential races was in the 1950s when Republican Dwight Eisenhower defeated Democrat Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and 1956. ׉ 7cassandra://vKfYHZR3r9XWahm91_Jc7FjV_We7iFNG9KCgnCoMt3o*`̰er'g=er'g< PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://EbWgZAe8Gxi3c85RHugiUllY5o2i3C6ggwfy4Sq-a1AX`)׉ 7cassandra://q5IWJgN1akGFtFAdXmQxdih4SHpY0Ah3G4hLtNz5iNgwa`J׉ 7cassandra://gxJkIa62MPGudhPy9SHxRNxS-IewNPHoCtyKEs6vyTo `̰e'gχט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://6FvokxjfLnAyxA4IPXMeqKIoK-Q2cvMQVofU9GL521ot]`)׉ 7cassandra://RtxagyN-HPAD1MDPiKwGtZSNM3te3QQHSxxHmtyWdxI͉`J׉ 7cassandra://I2UhYRESWr8GTCQzw0-bdMUlBOhI_7Q1KrZDD8JNHhE&Y`̰e'gψנe'gϏ 4ځR9ׁHhttp://home.comׁ ׁ Јנe'gώ Gā9ׁHhttp://www.luׁ ׁ Ј׉E zPage 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 8, 2024 City of Everett Income-Restricted Rental Opportunity Anthem Everett 484 Second Street Everett, MA 02149 # of Units # of Bedrooms 2 6 2 4 4 5 Studio 2-Bedroom 1-Bedroom Studio (ADA Units) 2-Bedroom (ADA Units) 1-Bedroom (ADA Units) Estimated 464-566 570-782 945-1,140 464-566 570-782 945-1,140 Square Footage 23 Income-Restricted Rental Units Rent Maximum Income Limit (% AMI) $1,903 $2,149 $2,382 $1,903 $2,140 $2,369 80% 80% 80% 80% 80% 80% # built out for Mobility Impairments - - - 3 4 4 # built out for Visual Impairments and/or Deaf/Hard of Hearing - - - 1 - 1 *Tenants are responsible for all utilities including gas (heating, hot water, & Non-ADA 1- and 2-Bedroom cooking), electricity (cooling, laundry, & Studio and ADA 1- and 2-Bedroom cooking), & cable/internet (optional) Minimum Incomes (set by owner + based on # of bedrooms + Area Median Income (AMI)) # of Bedrooms Studio 1-Bedroom 2-Bedroom Studio (ADA Units) 1-Bedroom (ADA Units) 2-Bedroom (ADA Units) Maximum Income 80% AMI $57,090 $64,470 $71,460 $57,090 4 $64,200 $71,070 5 6 Maximum Incomes (set by HUD + based on household size + Area Median Income (AMI)) Household Size 1 2 3 Maximum Income 80% AMI $82,950 $94,800 $106,650 $118,450 $127,950 $137,450 *2023 Area Median Incomes for the Boston, Cambridge, Quincy, MA-NH MSA Minimum incomes do not apply to households receiving housing assistance such as Section 8, MRVP, or VASH.

MARY GERACE- Chairman ROBERTA SUPPA - Clerk of Board of Appeals March 1, 8, 2024 over to Michigan, but I soon discovered it was two different levels between high school and college football. But the leadership part of it carries over (naturally) for players who know how to lead, and that alone allowed me to separate myself from others to be successful here (in Michigan) in my own way,” he added. Sainristil got his first chance to show off his immense athletic skills to the NFL teams at the Combine last Friday. By all accounts, he had an impressive 40-yard dash, vertical leap, broad jump and threecone drill. After wowing his captive audience, some experts seem to think he could go early on in the draft. ESPN’s Jordan Reid puts the 5-foot-9, 182-pound Sainristil first on his list of “biggest risers” at the conclusion of the Combine. The former EHS Crimson Tide standout started out as a third day selection, but he just might be taken on the second day. According to Reid, Sainristil is at the top of that nickel cornerback group, and solidified himself as a late-Day 2 prospect on Friday after jumping 40-inches in the vertical leap, jumping 10-feet, 11-inches in the broad jump and running a 4.47 in the 40yard dash. As a converted receiver, he added, his ball skills and change-of-direction ability really stood out. He had six interceptions in 2023. Teams that are looking for an immediate starter at nickel have to be excited about Sainristil’s workout. But CBS Sports thinks that Sainristil has a shot at going in the first round on the first day, and that was before the Combine. Its reasons include his playmaking ability, penchant for forcing turnovers (he had six interceptions including two pick-sixes, along with two forced fumbles in 2023) and a knack for being in the right place at the right time. The Minnesota Vikings, who have nine picks in next month’s draft, have this assessment of Sainristil’s strengths and weaknesses: “First thing that stands out about Sainristil is his awareness, especially pre-snap. Whether it’s motion or an audible, he is constantly communicating with the rest of his teammates and looks like the leader (he was) for the Wolverines. Sanristil pairs it with good recognition skills. He sees what is happening in front of him and attacks the football. He caught six interceptions along with securing two fumble recoveries and scoring two touchdowns this past fall. His motor never stops, and is an ultra-aggressive defender who loves to attack the football. “(On his weaknesses), tackling is spotty in both effort and technique. Doesn’t always want to get his hands dirty in the run game and when he does, attacks too high and will bounce off the ball carrier. Sanristil is likely limited to the slot at the next level due to his slight build, and can get manipulated at the stem. He often falls often for subtle head and shoulder fakes and allows separation.” The Vikings’ overview on Sainristil: “Sainristil is an aggressive slot cornerback that can thrive there but his size won’t allow him to be successful on the outside consistently. Tackling needs to be improved but some technique coaching can help fix that.” More general scouting observations on Sainristil Strengths: Can get up under a receiver’s chin and has the speed to flip his hips and run downfield.

The hearing will be held on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, at 3:00 P.M via Zoom at https://cityofmalden.zoom.us/j/97847627800?pwd=UGVaWExmVlN0VEU3MzhZZXNuckdoUT09 Passcode: 972058.

Per Order Breanna Lungo-Koehn, Chairperson Mystic Valley Development Commission March 08, 15, 2024 Explodes out of his backpedal and has exceptional closing speed, showing excellent timing and the ball skills to come up with the interception. Changes directions with ease and has the frame to hold up at any spot in the secondary. Instincts are outstanding, and Sainristil does an excellent job in route recognition. Weaknesses: Has a high backpedal and loses a step in-transition. Plays with adequate speed but there are concerns about his ability to handle the truly explosive speedsters of the NFL. Grab-and-drag tackler who will struggle to make plays against running backs, and he’ll be susceptible to some catch-and-run plays against bigger receivers. Fails to maintain inside technique in man coverage. Not a press corner. But in the end, it’s all subjective in determining draft selections. Opinions will turn to facts, however, when the NFL Draft begins on April 25 in downtown Detroit’s Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza. For three straight days, NFL teams will then be picking their future, and since it’s in Michigan this year once Mike Sainristil’s name is called, there should be a loud roared coming from his fans there all the way back to Everett.
