With an average tuition of approximately $22,000 at 4-year institutions, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, paying for a college degree is a challenging obstacle for prospective students. A challenge that is made more diffi cult by the presence of scammers looking to take advantage of students and parents searching for financial aid opportunities. The Better Business Bureau receives numerous reports of scholarship scams every year. Multiple reports have already been submitted to BBB Scam Tracker in 2022, detailing consumer interactions with unethical businesses claiming to provide students financial guidance. For students struggling to pay tuition, a sudden off er of a grant or scholarship can look like a dream come true. But it could be bait for a scam. This con hooks victims with the promise of money, but upfront “fees” never actually materialize into those much-needed funds. In a more recent twist, these scammers claim to help with student loan forgiveness. Better Business Bureau (BBB) recommends caution when dealing with companies that offer assistance in finding financial aid opportunities. Students and their families should be wary of websites, seminars, or other schemes that promise to fi nd scholarships, grants, or fi nancial aid packages for a fee.

The details vary, but the con is the same. The scammer will pose as a fi nancial aid representative using words like “National” and “Federal” to sound more offi cial. They claim you have won a scholarship or a grant (without ever applying) and ask for payment of a onetime “processing fee.” In another version, the scammer pressures you into applying for a “guaranteed” scholarship or grant. However, there is a fee to apply. Once the fee is paid, time goes by, and the money is never sent. When attempting to contact a representative, it is quickly discovered that the company has set so many conditions that it is almost impossible to receive a refund. In yet another variation, a check arrives for the scholarship and instructions are included to send back payment for taxes or fees. The check turns out to be a fake, and you’re out whatever money was sent. A consumer reported this version recently: “The business claims to have been around for 14 years, but the website has been up for two... The fi nancial aid workshops are a pitch meeting where they try to get you to pay $2,000 for help with college admissions, but it turns out that help is limited to exchanging text messages with an unknown person. The contract’s fi ne print states that the person you are texting is not a professional and has no expertise in college admissions or fi - nancial aid.” Due to the sensitive personal and financial information provided for scholarship and grant applications, it is important to be cautious when choosing one to apply for. Of the 2.47 million full-time students enrolled in post-secondary institutions during the 2018-19 school year, 84% were awarded fi nancial aid through student loans or federal, state, local or institutional grants. On average, students were awarded slightly over $5,000 from federal grants, such as FAFSA, and more than $11,000 from institutional grants. While the amount awarded varies depending on the institution (public versus private or twoyear versus four-year), applying for grants and scholarships is a great way to help ease the fi nancial burden of attending college. Legitimate companies are helping students fi nd aid with some results. However, students and parents can usually fi nd the same awards and others on their own by searching online. Prospective college fi - nancial aid offi ces can help as well, especially if it is a college the student is seriously considering attending. It is generally free to apply for scholarships. In Canada, visit the Government of Canada student aid resources to learn about fi nancial aid programmes available. Each province has its own support organization and opportunities for fi nancial aid. The relevant support organization and applicants will review each application and match you with loans, bursaries, and grants for which you appear eligible. In the U.S., More information is available online at studentaid.gov for the different financial aid options. Even if you don’t think you qualify for financial aid, review the options on the Federal Student Aid website, as many colleges and universities use it for nonneed-based awards. To protect students and parents searching for fi nancial aid opportunities from falling victim to scholarship scams, the Better Business Bureau recommends following these guidelines: Beware of unsolicited offers. Typically, winning a scholarship or grant that wasn’t applied for is impossible. Ask how the organization got your name and contact information, and then verify it with the source outside of the email, phone number or website they used to contact you. Take your time. Avoid being rushed or pushed into paying for help at a seminar. Use caution if a representative urges you to buy now to avoid losing an opportunity. Ask lots of questions. Be cautious if a company is reluctant to answer questions about the service or the process. If the company or seminar representative is evasive, walk away. Ask your guidance counselor or a college fi nancial aid offi ce whether they have experience with the company. Be skeptical of glowing success stories touted on websites or at seminars. Ask instead for the names of families in your community who have used the BBB TIP | SEE PAGE 3 OUR OFFICE HAS MOVED TO 519 BROADWAY, EVERETT SABATINO INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 PHONE: (617) 387-7466 FAX: (617) 381-9186 Visit us online at: Rocco Longo, Owner WWW.SABATINO-INS.COM Prices subject to change Ask about our Heating Oil Conditioner!

Yellow roses were gifted to each woman, as the symbol of the MCSW in honor of the yellow rose symbol used by suffragettes for many years. “Tammy is just an incredible woman who works tirelessly for our students and community,” said McGonagle. “I was very excited to be able to nominate her for this recognition as someone who advocates fiercely for the betterment of our schools and athletics. I am also thankful to be able to meet with Tammy and Superintendent Tahiliani to present Tammy with a citation to celebrate this moment.” The MCSW is an independent state agency that was legislatively created in 1998 to advance women of the Commonwealth to full equality in all areas of life and to promote their rights and opportunities.

They are ignoring their constituents’ calls for suspending the gas tax, ignoring efforts from the Governor and fellow legislative colleagues to pass any type of tax relief, and they remain so dysfunctional they cannot even pass their annual budget,” stated Paul Diego Craney, spokesperson of Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “With 26 days left, the clock is ticking, and time is running out. Instead of passing legislation that would help ordinary middle class Massachusetts taxpayers, they are focused on fringe policies that have an outsized influence in Democratic primaries like passing drivers licenses for illegal immigrants,” continued Craney. “There is also a looming ballot question this November proposed by the Speaker and Senate President which could increase the income tax by 80 percent on some high-income earners and small businesses. With the possibility of higher taxes down the road, and no action on tax relief right now, Massachusetts taxpayers should be ready for a very expensive 2023 if Speaker Mariano and Senate President Spilka continue to get their way,” concluded Craney. Better Business Bureau Scam Alert Fake events & phony tickets take festival goers by surprise M any people are looking forward to fun festivals this summer. As usual, scammers are taking advantage of the building excitement. This time, they are cashing in with phony tickets – and even fake events. How the scam works: You see a fantastic deal on tickets to a summer festival in your area, usually through a link on social media. The event promises live music, all-you-can-eat meals, craft beer or wine, or other fun activities. When you click the social media link, it takes you to a professional website with fantastic pictures. You enter your credit card information to buy tickets, and you think you are all set. But before you buy, do a little research. Whether the event is nonexistent, merely disappointing, or you just bought phony tickets, the result is the same: Someone pockets your hardearned money! The BBB Scam Tracker of the Better Business Bureau has received numerous reports from people who purchased fake tickets to real events or bought tickets to events that never materialized.

The proposals include: • Tearing down an existing residential structure and detached garage at 52 School St. and building a fi ve-story 71,035-square-foot residential building. This structure would contain 55 residential units, 31 parking spaces and accessible open space The applicant is proposing that nine of the units be designated as aff ordable housing. • A proposal for the redevelopment of a 71,357-squarefoot structure at 128 Spring St. and new construction of a seven-story 327,550-squarefoot multiuse building. The structure would contain 230 dwelling units, 222 parking spaces and 2,500 square feet of retail space on the ground fl oor. The applicant is proposing that 23 of these units be deemed aff ordable. Each plan would require site plan review and approval of a zoning special permit. Planning & Development Director Matt Lattanzi said Everett is in the forefront of Massachusetts communities responding to what he said is a housing crisis in the state. “The two larger proposals are in the commercial district,” said Lattanzi. “That zone was created to encourage high-density development. The goal is to produce a critical mass of housing supply so that we can meet the ever growing [housing] demands in our city and in the Boston area.” Raul Duverge of RISE Construction Management said the project at 52 School St. would be a plus for Everett. “We think this project would be a positive impact to the neighborhood,” said Duverge. But some questioned the size of the structure. “I doubt there’s enough space for [visitors] to come and park there,” said resident Darren Costa. Regarding the proposed structure at 128 Spring St., developer Craig Krupitzer of Solomon Cordwell Buenz said the members of his team want to work with the city and Planning Board to make the project work. Part of that eff ort, he said, would be to make changes to the project plan to fi t into the area. “This creates a more pedestrian scale to the project,” said Krupitzer. But Planning Board member Leo Pizzano said he has his doubts. “It’s a very nice-looking building as opposed to what it was,” said Pizzano. Additional building project on tap A proposal is also being considered for the redevelopment of a 70,649-square-foot site located at 380 Second St. The site is currently occupied by an industrial warehouse and parking lot. The plan calls for the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a 21-story mixed-use building. The building, to be called “ The Sofia,” would total 675,202 gross square feet and contain 643 housing units, 539 parking spaces and 8,335 square feet of ground-floor retail space and space open to the public. The applicant is proposing 65 of these units be designated as aff ordable. Developer Scott Brown said the development team brings the experience needed for the project, adding that as many as 2,000 workers will be hired to build the structure. “For a world-class building, you need a world-class team,” he said. “We applaud the city’s eff orts to improve this area. We’re making a long-term commitment to the community.” James Gray, senior principal at Stantec Architecture, Inc., said the building will include parking for hundreds of bicycles in addition to the proposed 539 automobile parking spots. He said the project will be adjacent to train tracks in the area. “It’s a part of the city that’s more or less industrial,” he said. “I believe you were looking for something in this part of the city that is world-class architecture.” But Planning Board member Leo Pizzano questioned the scale of the project. “I don’t get the sense you are building any kind of community,” he said. “It doesn’t create the kind of community we’re looking for. I just think that area is super tight.” BOARD | SEE PAGE 16 ׉ 7cassandra://M0OjVvLBAGvQAALzC0H72yWDGumIVOwZbjLx6zEk9zA)`̰bKPGZ!}Y؁bKPGZ!}Yׁ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://8hqkf2oI9kAh8LbLrOErcnD_nKEknMUU3EyFHTAW4XA 1`)׉ 7cassandra://5mcAn9YgxOuoO01F2P-eyBjtn7Cx1uhYh8M28pUScCkͩ`J׉ 7cassandra://QunArRfEJ2p37-IlTpQvSDEExXiX7DIG7Nq5rRZ9cS4.`̰׉ 7cassandra://C07rBIk5vCd15ruSXzpUTe6cd1G2OjvSsp9ZZBn90O0W͠bKiGZ!}Z+ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://yq_K5az-NotoQ0Dn1vjifOLIYVGHpJi_rWgai7f9lP4I`)׉ 7cassandra://Z4r7oeYw-DqKbTJJNQd5XK3-0v0d6lfUwJoXtJDuFzo͡`J׉ 7cassandra://JjmmbEXBvDn6Rvo6Y6sO3jFm0ZeGgMq-JOK3MA9RrTw/`̰׉ 7cassandra://SwiMbIZRPwwIfuNIZ5Cymvv9dhF7Du0A8GRitSS15mwB͠bKkGZ!}Z-נbKhGZ!}Z(*a9׉Hhttp://www.mves.orgGׁ ׁ rנbKkGZ!}Z8 m̉ 9ׁHmailto:info@posnik.comׁ ׁ ЈנbKkGZ!}Z7̋ 9ׁHhttp://www.posnik.comׁ ׁ ЈנbKkGZ!}Z6~ہ9ׁHhttp://memberspluscu.orgׁ ׁ ЈנbKkGZ!}Z5x̗9ׁHhttp://memberspluscu.orgׁ ׁ ЈנbKkGZ!}Z49ׁHhttp://EddiesAutotech.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E)Page 6 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 8, 2022 Options Counseling opens doors to older adults and people with disabilities O lder adults and people with disabilities, and those who help to care for them, are often not aware of all the services and supports that are available to them mostly because they are not sure where to begin the search for information about such programs. In partnership with the Commonwealth, Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) responds to this need by providing a free resource to older adults and people with disabilities – and their caregivers – who have no idea how to gain access to services and programs when they need it. The service, which is called Options Counseling, can be considered a one-stop resource to help guide these folks to obtain the supports they are seeking. The MVES Options Counseling team works with individuals and their families to help them decide what supports they need to live where they want with dignity and choice. “Options counseling is an interactive short-term process to empower individuals in need of long-term services and supports to make an informed choice about the settings and services that best meet their needs,” explains MVES Options Counselor Diane Glaude. “Individuals and families receive unbiased information from us about relevant programs, services, housing options, and financial resources to help pay for services. We assist individuals to determine next steps and connect with relevant referral sources.” A person-centered resource, Options Counseling is provided at no cost and to all income levels of people who want to remain at home but need supports to do so, after having been admitted to a long-term care facility following a hospital stay, or when a family caregiver needs help to continue providing care in the community. The program is built to objectively help guide referral sources, caregivers, other agencies, MVES consumers and their families, and individuals living in the community. It is a great “first call resource” for anyone with aging-related service option questions. According to MVES Options Counselor/Clinical Coordinator We Sell Cigars & Accessories R.Y.O.

That’s where we come in. We provide counseling about the different options so community members and our consumers can make the best informed decision regarding their care,” said Phelan. The MVES Options Counseling staff will explore options for housing, in-home supports, transportation, public benefits, nutrition and caregiving. Together, they help make the best choice for the person’s unique situation.

I discuss the consumer’s needs, concerns, and goals to determine the appropriate options and provide them with information on these options,” said Brookes. “Then I can assist consumers in the decision making process once all options are presented as well as make the necessary referrals, if needed.” The team makes referrals to a variety of programs and informs consumers about many different types of options. “We often refer consumers to programs at MVES including home care services, clinical casework, home delivered meals, SHINE, and Money Management,” said Brookes. “We also meet with many consumers who are seeking housing resourcALERT | FROM PAGE 4 Scammers often use names that sound like those of real festivals. • Check for (working) contact information. Be sure the festival website has a real phone number and email address. • Watch out for prices that sound too good to be true. There is no way a festival can offer tickets at extremely low prices without losing money. If the prices are much lower than elsewhere, it’s likely a scam. What can you do? • Pay with a credit card. You can dispute the charges if the business doesn’t come through. Be wary of online sellers that don’t accept credit cards. • Look for secure sites. The website should begin with HTTPS (the extra “s” is for secure) and have es, including completing housing applications, learning about subsidized housing options, emergency rental assistance options, and homeless services.” As for government-funded programs outside of MVES, Options Counselors help individuals with information on fuel assistance, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, Social Security and MassHealth options. They also provide information on general community resources, including transportation, medical equipment providers, and legal resources. “We work with consumers with a variety of concerns, questions, and needs and explore many different options – each referral and each consumer is unique,” Brookes said. If more long-term support is needed, the Options Counseling staff might refer the individual to the State Home Care program if home care services are needed.

The Administration’s proposal would provide $700 million in tax relief to support those most impacted by rising prices and infl ation, such as seniors on fi xed incomes, renters and residents who care for older adults or children. State tax revenues continue to dramatically overperform expectations, with a recent deposit of $2 billion deposit of excess capital gains revenue into the Stabilization Fund leading to an all-time high balance of $6.6 billion. Even with that historic deposit, the Commonwealth is on track for a signifi - cant surplus at the end of the fiscal year, and the advocacy organizations today urged legislative action to give some of that surplus back to taxpayers. “Older adults, many of whom are on fi xed incomes, have been especially hard-hit by infl ation and rising prices, and our tax cut plan would provide meaningful relief for seniors and their families,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “With state tax revenues continuing to come in far above benchmark, state government can more than aff ord to give seniors and other residents hurt by inflation a tax break. We hope our colleagues in the Legislature will join us to enact these tax cuts which would help those who are hardest hit by these tough times.” “Inflation and rising prices are impacting everyone in Massachusetts, but especially seniors on fi xed incomes,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “Our tax cut plan takes advantage of Massachusetts’ large expected surplus and targets relief to populations and communities who have been hardest-hit by both the pandemic and ongoing economic pressures.” “The Commonwealth remains in a historically strong fi scal position and has ample resources to continue investing in critical areas of need, while also implementing important tax relief measures for everyone in Massachusetts – particularly seniors,” said Secretary of Administration and Finance Michael J. Heff ernan. “We look forward to working with the Legislature over the coming weeks to pass these benefits onto hundreds of thousands of hardworking taxpayers and help ensure the continued strength of the AUTOTECH $$ CASH FOR YOUR CAR, TRUCK OR SUV! $$ GET YOUR VEHICLE SUMMER READY!

It’s very clear these older taxpayers want and need alternative forms of income and other ways to save. The tax relief to be passed to older Massachusetts residents through these proposals will make it easier for residents to make ends meet. The Age-Friendly Institute supports the moves.” The plan includes several tax relief measures: Double the maximum Senior Circuit Breaker Credit to lower the overall tax burden for more than 100,000 lower-income homeowners aged 65+, resulting in $60 million erett received a Bachelor of Arts in Management with a concentration in health care management.

For example, the rental deduction increase would provide $34 million in annual tax relief to renters in the 20 “equity communities” that the Department of Public Health identified as having been hardest-hit by the pandemic (based on factors like social determinants of health and the disproportionate racial impact of the pandemic). The “no tax status” change to eliminate the income tax for more low-income people would result in nearly $12 million in annual savings in those same communities. and graduate students, the College provides boundless opportunities for students to expand their worldview through rigorous coursework, significant internship and career opportunities throughout the Boston area and beyond, collaborations with distinguished and dedicated faculty, and participation in a dynamic campus community. Emmanuel’s more than 70 programs in the sciences, liberal arts, business, nursing, and education foster spirited discourse and substantive learning experiences that honor the College’s Catholic educational mission to educate the whole person and provide an ethical and relevant 21st-century education.

He admitted to attorneys for DeMaria that his stories published on Sept. 8 and 15, 2021 – written just weeks before the primary election – contained lies and fabrications that falsely claimed the mayor strongarmed City Clerk Sergio Cornelio in their legitimate commercial property land deal on Corey Street in Everett. Attorney Jeffery Robbins commanded answers from the dodgy Resnek regarding his emails to Boston Globe reporter Andrea Estes about information written in his articles based on information Resnek claimed he obtained from Leader Herald owner Matthew Philbin. In just one example of Resnek’s attempt to goad The Globe reporter into writing articles about the mayor, Resnek was asked if he had any notes of any kind that proved the mayor threatened to withdraw city money from the Everett Co-operative Bank if he didn’t get a mortgage. Resnek admitted that he didn’t – his information was based on only what he was told by Philbin. When Estes asks Resnek how the mayor could justify having money in an account that pays no interest, Resnek stated, “It’s all speculation. I didn’t know whether or not there was a phony LLC.” Yet, Resnek wrote his articles accusing DeMaria of just that. Resnek had stated in his articles that Cornelio told him that the mayor strong-armed his way into the Corey Street lated to the deal, and that he knew there was a legitimate LLC between Cornelio and DeMaria listed with the Mass. Secretary of State’s offi ce, despite not having the names of the owners, portrayed it as illegitimate, as if information was being purposely hidden. But Resnek admitted that he also never listed his name as owner of Chelsea Press, LLC, a company which he uses to collect his paycheck When asked about his motivation to send emails to Estes which stated that he (Resnek) could not say with any certainty if the mayor threatened Everett Co-operative Bank President Richard O’Neil and his brother, Atty. David O’Neil, who represented DeMaria and Cornelio in their land deal, to “do his bidding” with respect to the property deal, Resnek stated he did because the bank’s ad was “So, you knew what the stakes were, correct? You knew that you were being accused of having fabricated quotes, correct?” asked Atty. Robbins. “I thought I had defamed the mayor,” replied Resnek. property deal and the mayor fi led a phony LLC in order to collect on the deal – just one of many false allegations Resnek claimed in his articles in 2021. Resnek stated to the attorneys that all documents with respect to the land deal were, according to his testimony, witnessed by Philbin and related to him as information to use in his Sept. 2021 articles. Resnek admitted he never saw any documents, including a lawyer’s note refor his work for the Everett Leader Herald, as well as never listing Matthew Philbin as owner of Dorchester Publications, LLC, which publishes the newspaper. “In your articles in Sept. 2021, did you inform your readers that it was very typical, quite common for LLC documents to be fi led with the Secretary of State’s offi ce without identifying the owners?” asked Robbins. “No, I didn’t,” replied Resnek, pulled from the newspaper, calling it “cause and eff ect.” “Mr. Resnek, have you given us just now your basis for believing that Mr. DeMaria threatened the O’Neils? Have you just told us everything?” asked Robbins. “That’s about all I have to say, yeah,” replied Resnek. “Did you have any evidence that Mr. DeMaria had threatened the O’Neils in any way relating to Corey Street?” Resnek answered, “No.” Robbins then asked Resnek about the Philbin family, who had taken ownership of the Everett Leader Herald in 2017 following the passing of Joseph Curnane, Jr., purchasing the Church Street offi ce property and the newspaper for reportedly $750,000. The attorney asked about the newspaper’s fi nances after Resnek became publisher in 2017. Resnek claimed it made $330,000 that year – to $200,000 by 2021 – described by Resnek as “bleeding” funds year after year. Resnek also claimed that the Philbins weren’t happy with the mayor for losing the city’s insurance business after DeMaria was first elected mayor. Resnek also stated that Matthew and Andrew Philbin, Sr. were upset that the Everett Co-operative Bank had pulled their $350 a week ad from their newspaper, believing it was at the behest of the mayor. Resnek claimed to have “anecdotal evidence” but admitted to not having any actual evidence.

Resnek replied that he did. The attorney delved further into the emails with Estes, asking Resnek about the email where Resnek describes the scenario where Estes should call DeMaria, Cornelio and the O’Neil brothers, and said that she should not expect them to reveal their pocket LLC to protect the mayor’s $96,000 “unless you provoke them that they met privately” – “at least three times before Cornelio gave up and signed over the $96,000 to the mayor.” Resnek claimed that evidence came from Cornelio’s statements; that it’s only what he told him and that he didn’t have any notes to back it up. “And in fact – Mr. Cornelio never told you, Joshua Resnek, that the mayor ever pressured him into giving money to him, correct?” asked Atty. Jeff rey Robbins. “Correct,” replied Resnek. Estes, in the same email, tells Resnek that Cornelio was expected to call her later, but her editors wanted her to get the story published before the primary, asking Resnek, “Do you think Carlo will win?” Robbins asked him if his plan was to have The Globe reporter write a story about the mayor before the primary in which DeMaria was seeking reelection; Resnek stated that it would have been an “optimum situation,” adding, “Yes.” When asked if he had any formal training in journalism or was familiar with any guidelines for ethical journalism, Resnek replied he wasn’t and had not received any formal training but was mentored by Andrew Quigley, Sr., father of his former partner, Steven Quigley of the Everett Independent. Robbins asked Resnek if he agreed that it was dishonest to fabricate quotes or to publish as fact something which is actually speculation. Resnek agreed despite admitting to having no evidence, proof or notes to justify his articles from Sept. 8 and 15, 2021. When questioning focused on a story Resnek wrote in March 2022 titled “Irish Humiliated in Racist E-mail and Text Threads Shared by Mayor, Others,” Resnek’s Attorney, Bernie Guekguezian, instructed Resnek not to answer any questions related to anything after Sept. 2021, until it was decided by the judge. Robbins continued to ask Resnek about the story, quoting passages with derogatory statements, and then asking Resnek if he fabricated any parts of the story. Resnek refused to answer on the advice of counsel. When the questions moved to Philbin’s financials and real estate holdings in Everett, particularly the rooming houses and multifamily units, Resnek was asked if the Philbins had sought favorable treatment from the City of Everett on various occasions in the past; Resnek replied in the affi rmative. Resnek also agreed that the Philbins stopped receiving favorable treatment once DeMaria was elected mayor and the Philbins weren’t very happy about it. Robbins then asked if it was wrong to ascribe statements to the wrong person and to knowingly tell readers that person X has said something when person X had not said that, and that it would be false; Resnek agreed. “That would be reckless journalism, correct?” asked Robbins. “Not necessarily,” replied Resnek. “If you knew the mayor hasn’t said something and you tell readers that it’s the mayor that said something, that would be reckless, right?” asked Robbins. “Yes,” replied Resnek. Resuming after lunch, Robbins asked Resnek if owner Matthew Philbin was a journalist or had any background in journalism. Resnek stated that other than owning the newspaper, Philbin did not. Resnek admitted that he had never seen any notes by Philbin of any conversations that Philbin claims he had with Cornelio for Resnek stories. When asked if the newspaper had any policies in place with respect to reporting, Resnek stated he did, and that was to “always tell the truth or as close to the truth as we feel it can be.” In a paltry attempt to justify his articles, Resnek was questioned on his journalistic ethics. When asked if he believed it was wrong to mislead readers, misquote or present as fact information which is speculation, Resnek replied that it was. “You will admit that it would be reckless to disregard those fundamental journalistic principals, correct?” asked Robbins. “Without meaning any disrespect, it depends on who you’re writing about,” stated Resnek. When asked by Robbins if he thought it was okay to falsify information about certain people, Resnek, despite objection from counsel, stated that if the person was heinous and his actions are detrimental to our freedom and free speech and a wide variety of things…someone needs to stand up. But when asked if it was okay to falsify information about certain people, Resnek replied that it was not. “And would it be dishonest of your newspaper to falsify information about Mr. DeMaria, correct?” Resnek replied, “Yes.” Robbins questioned Resnek on Matthew Philbin’s dislike for the mayor, asking him if he believed Philbin felt that the mayor was unfavorable to his business interests. Resnek agreed. “And you understood that when you were publishing these articles about the mayor, correct?” asked Robbins. “I understood that long before,” he replied, including admitting to Philbin’s personal animosity towards the mayor.

Instead, Resnek claimed to have heard it from a person named Gary DiCicco, a real estate developer Resnek claimed owned the land purchased by Wynn for the casino license. When asked by Robbins if DiCicco provided any proof, Resnek replied, “He just alluded to it very strongly.” “Was there proof?” asked Robbins. “I can’t provide you with any proof,” replied Resnek. Resnek claimed he read an FBI report, a lawsuit, yet did not attend any trial or read any documents that claimed the mayor had taken kickbacks – which he stated in his articles on multiple occasions leading up to the elections. As in the majority of his articles written about the mayor, Resnek admitted to having no notes of any kind to back up any of the allegations written in his articles. Resnek was then asked about his claim he made at the end of his article promising the readers of a “fellow I know well has promised to tell in the near future – a bad development for Kickback Carlo.” When asked to reveal the “fellow,” Resnek stated it would be DiCicco, but, three years later, DiCicco failed to show. Resnek then admitted he made no preparations before he wrote the article, including making notes or documentary evidence which provided information that would support his allegation. Again the questioning turned to the “Blue Suit” columns; Resnek, in previous testimony, established that the Blue Suit was fictional, but was also a “conversation” between him and the suit. In a July 1, 2021, column leading up to the elections, Resnek would again promise the readers that “before Sept. 7, everything dark and ugly about Carlo’s background is going to come out.” Resnek admitted he did make that promise but stated his “timing was way off.” Sticking to his ending narratives of his Blue Suit columns, the “journalist” fell short of his goal. Robbins then asked Resnek about his notebook, a leather-bound BU notebook his daughter gave him which he carried on August 25, 2021, the day he went to the City Clerk’s Office to deliver his newspapers. When asked about his routine prior to sending his stories to print, Resnek was asked if he called up anyone to verify his quotes, such as Cornelio, of which his Sept. 8 story was about. Resnek said Mr. Philbin despite Philbin not being quoted in the article. Resnek said that Mr. Philbin is the Leader Herald and the Leader Herald is quoted in the article. When asked if he called up anyone who was quoted in the articles to ask them if they were quoted correctly, Resnek replied he did not. Resnek is then questioned on the notes he had taken regarding the Corey Street property deal and exactly where in the notebook they were written. After reading small missives in quotations such as “sexual harassment”, “Big issue”, and “Mayor extorts 96,000 from Cornelio – promises to ruin Cornelio, mother”, Resnek is asked if these notes were related to any conversation and with who. “I believe they were from Mark Puleo,” said Resnek. “He’s one of our sources.” Resnek stated that Puleo works for a national polling company – “and that he’s big into issues.” Resnek went on LAWSUIT | SEE PAGE 16 ׉ 7cassandra://zhED61msnLiuniMtup95TafWFv0dnokGpwBXRZ93RmY)`̰bKPGZ!}Y׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 8, 2022 Page 13 Everett Families Pack Glendale Park for Grand July 4th Celebration C By Tara Vocino hildren wore patriotic attire and participated in a carriage, wagon and bicycle American flag decorating contest during last Friday night’s Fourth of July celebration outside of Glendale Park.

By Tara Vocino T he 2022 White Sox went 16-3 in the regular season to earn the number one seed in the major league playoffs. In his first year as head coach, Joseph Young has preached a “next man up” attitude all year long. In the Everett Little League championship final last Friday night, the White Sox matched up against a great Rays team at Sacramone Park. White Sox player MJ Guida pitched a no hitter and also got the only hit of the game with a triple to right field, according to Young. “Rays player AJ Palazzo was on fire from the start,” Young said. “He finished the game with 12 strikeouts.” The final score was 1-0 with MJ Guida, scoring on a delayed steal. With White Sox player Nicholas Young out with COVID-19, Caden Foley was huge behind the plate stopping every ball. In game 2 of the championship, the Rays pulled out a close 4-3 win over the White Sox, leading to a game 3. “John Van Campen pitched amazing for the Rays, only giving up four hits in five innings,” Young said. “White Sox player Caden Foley pitched amazing also — only given up six hits in five innings. Jovens Jean had a huge inside of the park home run in game 2 that gave the Rays the lead that they never gave back. Tyler Schaefer came in to close the game for the win. In game 3, the White Sox scored 2 runs in the first inning on some great base running. Carlos Gutierrez got the start for the White Sox, giving up one run in five innings and 10 strike-outs. Calling it a team effort, Thai Spencer, Christian Miranda, Caden Foley and and Gutierrez all had at least 1 hit in the game. Twelve-year-olds MJ Guida and Ryan Tiberii played their last Little League game, going 7-7 with six RBIs. “The White Sox have won five back-to-back championships in the last six years,” Young said.

When asked if the quotes were from Philbin as said to him by Cornelio, Resnek replied they were but had trouble giving the date of the meeting, saying August 25 or 27. Resnek then claimed that Philbin met with Cornelio on the same day he was delivering newspapers but couldn’t recall the date, stating it could have been the night after Philbin met with his parents. In either instance, the intrepid reporter couldn’t guess when both dates occurred. Resnek was then asked to highlight in diff erent colored markers which quotes were attributed to who – blue for Philbin statements made to him by Cornelio when he was asked for the dates of the meetings between the two.

Taking more than a little inspiration from the massive success of Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” director Taika Waititi (the New Zealand comedy legend behind “What We Do in the Shadows”) injected the movie with some much-needed humor and colorful splendor. Suddenly, “Thor” went from being a second-tier “Avenger” to one of the most promising. While these Marvel movies so often feel fresh off the assembly line, Waititi managed to make a movie that feels thematically and stylistically in line with the rest of his work. Needless to say, after almost five years, the expectations for a “Ragnarok” follow-up are sky high. And thankfully, die-hard fans of Marvel and Waititi will likely find much to appreciate in “Thor: Love and Thunder” – Waititi’s inimitable quirky humor still makes for several uproarious gags throughout, and the movie’s visuals, drawing from the colorful and outlandish heavy-metal album covers from the likes of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, make this one of the more stylistically distinct Marvel entries. Unfortunately, those strengths that carried over from “Ragnarok” must contend with a few new weaknesses in “Love and Thunder,” mainly some strange tonal clashes, awkward pacing and an underdeveloped villain. We’re introduced to that villain, Gorr (the always-reliable Christian Bale), in an opening scene that gives us his origins as the man who becomes known as the God Butcher, a powerful supervillain who lives to decapitate gods with his magical Necrosword. (If all this sounds very silly, that’s because it is, but luckily Waititi never takes it too seriously). In his never-ending revenge quest to kill every god in the galaxy, it’s only a matter of time until he gets to our titular God of Thunder. Bale brings plenty of menace and verve to a character who, on the page, actually has very little to do. As usual, the performances are largely what make “Love and Thunder” a total breeze. Chris Hemsworth once again proves he’s not only one of the best-looking movie stars on the planet but also one of the funniest. He’s at his best playing well-intentioned, handsome morons and both his performance and the screenplay (by Waititi and Jennifer Kaytin Robinson) lean into those charms beautifully. Natalie Portman makes her grand return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Jane Foster after nine years, and the film makes some surprising and bold decisions by revamping her as the female Thor. Her turn as the new Thor is electric, but how the script gets her there feels rushed and clumsy, with the entire transformation seeming to take roughly five minutes of screen time. Unfortunately, that clunky pacing hurts a great deal of the movie, where massive character arcs are barely touched upon in favor of odd humorous digressions. Without giving too much away, Portman’s character is facing some heavy life circumstances, and when the story has to slow down to deal with her subplot, it feels jarring with the goofy romp that preceded it. The movie is so concerned with hitting the major plot beats of your standard superhero fare that it never gets a chance to let the character moments breathe. Still, those who come into “Love and Thunder” hoping for more of the same charm and thrills they got from “Ragnarok” won’t have too much time to feel disappointed during this breathlessly paced blockbuster, but they might find it receding from their memory even faster once they leave the theater. ׉ 7cassandra://OUFUlU7QFeBwfB4jRFpXSw2Li2WfZZQq-tqiSINvris(`̰bKPGZ!}YbKPGZ!}Y PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://z3F5RdZ8IUMeHGTzaGncYGEChDZfJ5o4cCa-zlvJLAQp`)׉ 7cassandra://W30bbIIjvi313IOcJVE7nlFQCYb9RvddM4Wztuis6YE͠`J׉ 7cassandra://UfRPokXKy4dlyQqpZbLUHaxNtokD2kFq_FrBUc3n8cU0`̰׉ 7cassandra://cic5GLOtColPpbkGbMTRTww7sazlhjI8qa1YWJiSqto͠bKsGZ!}ZZט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://MCseZdcw3c0ZvLzUr6f8KJu92Dm_6LcFBbXIbSo3pFEwk`)׉ 7cassandra://ZpwxgY25rb3xrVwVHEkWsGf_N5yGXWfp5Xh-gwVuUBE͞`J׉ 7cassandra://_CYYuck87tp-tJzxh-nzi02JLuCq39o4Y9fBIq0mdgg.`̰׉ 7cassandra://vhjonY8JZa2sPzw3cUxULK_5tGBur13Vi_4bLjHkgLEE.@͠bKtGZ!}ZaנbKtGZ!}Zgox9ׁHmailto:infowithmango@gmail.comׁ ׁ ЈנbKtGZ!}ZfNӁ9ׁHmailto:infowithmango@gmail.comׁ ׁ ЈנbKtGZ!}Ze 9ׁHhttp://mangorealtyteam.comׁ ׁ ЈנbKtGZ!}Zd0 9ׁHhttp://www.roccofuneralhome.comׁ ׁ ЈנbKtGZ!}Zc̮9ׁHhttp://www.thewarrengroup.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 20 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 8, 2022 REAL ESTATE TRANSAC TIONS Copyrighted material previously published in Banker & Tradesman/The Commercial Record, a weekly trade newspaper.
