If an off ense can’t get something going consistently, it makes it more diffi cult to win the game, and as a result the Everett High softball team (19-3, 33rd I seed) has to go home early after host Belmont (11-8, 32nd seed) was able to hang on to beat its Greater Boston League (GBL) counterparts in a Division 1 preliminary round game, 2-0 on May 31. “(Belmont) was such a beatable team, but unfortunately we just didn’t bring our bats,” said coach Stacy Poste-Schiavo afterwards. Pitcher Peyton Warren once again did her job after going six complete innings, and allowing just six hits and two earned runs. She fanned one batter.

Emma Longmore led off the game with a walk. Bryanna Mason then tried to bring her home, but her line shot to center was tracked down by the centerfi elder. The Marauders went down in order in the home half of the fi rst on a liner to shortstop Gianna Masucci, a fly to centerfielder Jayla Davila and another fl y to leftfi elder Arabella Cvitkusic. The Tide loaded the bases in the second on walks to Emilia Maria-Babcock, Davila and Arabella Cvitkusic, but they were unable to get that clutch hit to break the scoreless tie. But the Marauders did break the tie when they came to the plate with two runs on three hits. In the third, Mason was credited with Everett’s fi rst hit of the game, but she too was stranded on the basepaths. The game continued to move along at a brisk pace, thanks to the solid pitching and defense on both sides. But in the fi fth, Cvitkusic walked, before Longmore singled to start the visitors fourth threat in fi ve innings. Alexa Uga then drew a two-out walk to load the bases again, but another fl y to the outfi eld ended that potential surge, as well. In the home half of the sixth, Belmont had runners on first and second, but the Everett girls once again made the defensive plays to go along with a strikeout by Warren to get out of the jam. But in its fi nal at-bat, Everett was retired in order to lose the close, heartbreaking contest. “This was defi nitely a frustrating loss, because our girls played great defense to support their pitcher Peyton Warren, who pitched another amazing game,” said Poste-Schiavo, “and Emilia (Maria-Babcock) supported (Warren) throughout the game behind the plate. “This was not the hitting team that we have been throughout this entire season,” added the veteran Everett coach. “The Belmont pitcher was not overpowering, and we should have hit her better. We made contact, but directly at their players, and also couldn’t take advantage of our bases loaded chances. “Overall, assistant coach Jennifer Nigro and myself are extremely proud of this team. They worked hard work, and played with determination all season long. They are also a great group of kids, who worked well together on and off the fi eld, and we would like to thank everyone for their support to the team this season.” Masucci chosen GBL MVP Everett senior shortstop Gianna Masucci was selected as the GBL MVP by the league coaches recently. They also named junior catcher Emilia Maria-Babcock, senior second baseman Emma Longmore, senior fi rst baseman Bryanna Mason and junior pitcher Peyton Warren to the 2024 all-star team.

Nobody could have predicted the path of our high school journey. But regardless of starting high school like no other class before us, we made the most of it. It’s been quite the ride, but we’ve tackled it together and made our mark. Over these four years we have been through a lot together. We survived a pandemic, got through online schooling, we even wrote essays alongside chat gpt. (We all used it at least once or twice… some of us a couple thousand - we can all have our own opinion on who that was). We’ve formed bonds that will last a lifetime and shared experiences that will forever have a place in our memory. From rushing to do projects at the last minute to playing an intense basketball game at gym, to the good times we all shared, each moment has forever left a mark on all of us. As we say goodbye to high school, let us carry with us the lessons we’ve learned, the strong friendships we’ve forged, and the memories we’ve created together. Let us cherish the moments we’ve shared and look forward to the adventures that lie ahead. And let us never forget that no matter where life takes us, we will always be united by the bond of our high school years. For most of us we will be independent for the first time, we will be attending new classes with different people. We will have to make new decisions for ourselves like what courses to take, what job opportunities to pursue , and how to get around taxes - shoutout to Mr. Peach. Being your Class President has been a great honor and I am thankful that you trusted me with this position. As you all know, I promised that every senior would have a free prom. And after months of fundraising I was able to raise over 50 thousand dollars to make this crazy idea a reality. The money that was left over from this fundraising will go towards funding scholarships in the name of our Class of 2024 to help fulfill the dreams of future EHS graduates. This will be our way to paying it forward and ensuring our Class will also have a presence at EHS for years to come. I consider these things to be my biggest accomplishments throughout high school. My parents and brother have been my biggest cheerleaders and the best support system I could ever ask for. My whole family has always been by my side overcoming any challenges I was facing and supporting everything I wanted to accomplish. Thank you all for being right behind me always. I would also like to thank Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Sachetta. They were my biggest supporters throughout my time at Everett High School, they have shown me that hard work pays off, and in times of uncertainty they alSalvatore DiDomenico EHS Class President ways offered me unwavering support and were always there for me to talk to. They were always there for me when I needed help and I will forever hold dear the profound friendships we share. These two people have changed my life in a way words cannot even begin to describe. Thank you for everything done for me. When we graduate and leave here today, I want everyone to not forget this pivotal moment in our lives that has set us up for success, never forget the teachers that guided us through highschool, our support staff, the people that are invested in your success, and the friends that you have made. I will forever treasure the friendships that I have made and I am proud to have started at the Keverian School. We must all never forget where we came from. Wherever you go in life remember Everett, remember where you started, remember the community that you grew up in. Do not hold back - follow your dreams and don’t let anyone knock you off your course. As Walt Disney said, “Your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them.” That is absolutely true and I can’t wait to hear about the many success stories that will come from our Class. The sky is the limit and I know we have the drive and determination to make our dreams a reality. Thank you again and Congratulations Class of 2024! I look forward to coming together as a class at our 5-year reunion. Best of luck to you all. Simran Tamang - Class of 2024 Salutatorian Resonance: The Power of Presence G ood morning faculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, thank you for joining us in celebrating this monumental milestone. My name is Simran Tamang and I am honored to be standing here today as the Salutatorian of the Class of 2024. I want to start off by thanking my teachers, coaches, and all EHS administration, faculty, and staff for providing me as well as my fellow graduates with an unparalleled education over our four years of high school. I want to especially thank my mom and dad, and my family in Nepal who have sacrificed so much for my brother and me to be able to receive a quality education in America and pursue our dreams. My parents left the comfort and safety of their little village in Nepal to venture into America, an unfamiliar land where the language, customs, and traditions were different. Stepping foot into America, we traded in our grand celebrations of Dashain and Tihar for mellowed celebrations of strange western holidays. My parents courageously took on jobs outside their fields of expertise–my dad went from serving in the Nepali army to working as a delivery man, and my mom from being a farmer to a barista, all the while lacking English fluency. Their resilience and unwavering strength and determination as they worked every day of the week and attended night classes twice a week at Bunker Hill to learn English has been an inspiration and testament to their tireless dedication to their children. I am beyond grateful for their example and the lessons of courage and hard work they have taught me. So, to Mummy, Baba, tapai her la suby gernupha ko la gi, theri theri dhanyabad. If you’re not from Nepal, that was me saying thank you for everything to my mom and dad! High School has been quite the experience for all of us here, in good ways and bad ways. Whether we’ve formed friendships that last a lifetime, developed an unforeseen love for an activity, or grown a strong dislike towards certain subjects, the last four years of our lives will be a core memory that we’ll surely tell our grandchildren. All about “When I was in high school, we would panic if we lost our AirPods and rejoice if the school lost WiFi.”, “When I was growing up, we knew something was a fact if we had seen it on Tiktok” “Back in my days, President Swift was just a singer, in fact some of us even saw her on the Eras Tour.” But I want to recognize one (serious) thing in particular. High school is such an important time in our lives because it’s the time when we discover our identity. We figure out who we are, and who we hope to be. Some of us have found a sense of belonging on stage, performing in Augusta and Noble, or singing in the holiday concerts. Some have found our niche on the field, playing football or soccer, or even on the courts, playing volleyball or tennis or participating on the Mock Trial team. And there are also those among us who are still searching, still figuring out who they are, their likes and dislikes, figuring out a balance between what they want and what they need. And that’s completely fine. That’s good. Growth is good. Change is good. But whether you’ve discovered yourto take up space as a Nepali, proudly showcasing my Nepali heritage and culture wherever and whenever I can. At the college you will be Class Salutatorian Simran Tamang has a grade point average of 4.952. Tamang encouraged students to savor memories from their teachers. self or you’re still searching, I want to encourage each and every one of you to be proud of who you are, to take up space, to be unapologetically you. Throughout high school, not being able to grow up in my home country and be as connected to my culture and traditions as I would like, I began to realize the power of my presence and the importance of my identity as an immigrant from Nepal. To preserve the culture and traditions that my parents and I had to give up when we came to the United States, I now strive attending next fall or the jobs you will be holding in the future, let your presence be known. Walk confidently into a room full of strangers, keep your head up, voice your opinions, let people know the correct way to pronounce your ethnic name (Sim-run and Nisch-al), and wear your cultural garments with pride. Let your presence resonate as you find your way through life. Start today if you haven’t already. Yes, it’s graduation, but it’s not too late. In a little while, when you walk across this stage, walk with confidence. Let your presence be felt, and maybe those few short seconds will resonate long into the future. Savor the moment. We’ve earned it. I wish you all good luck in your future endeavors, and I hope that you exceed all of your expectations in life!

It is my honor and privilege to stand on this stage in front of this wonderful audience and give this speech. First, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the EHS teachers and staff for helping my classmates and me overcome numerous obstacles and adversities throughout our journey and reach this point in life. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to my parents, who are the building blocks of my life. Ever since we moved to the US when my sister and I were 9 and 10, my parents have constantly supported us as we adapted and grew in a new environment. Like many proud parents and guardians in the stands today, they have made countless sacrifices in their lives to support us; whether it is leaving their lives in Nepal and starting from scratch in America with minimum English, or working 7 days a week for ten to twelve hours each day so that we could afford whatever we needed. It is thanks to their sacrifices and support that I am able to proudly stand here today, and it is their greatest lessons that they taught me that have built me into the individual that stands in front of you. So, this moment is not only mine but my father’s, who despite the pain aching labor and countless hours of overtime, always finds the right words to brighten the room with his hilarious nature, and my mother’s, whose kindness fills the room and makes me forget about all the adversities. Thank you both for being the best parents. I would also like to thank the class of 2024 for sharing these past years of high school with me and creating unforgettable memories and building unbreakable bonds. It truly felt as if every one of my interactions with this group of students helped me gain a greater understanding of myself as well as the environment around me. This group of students is not only one of the smartest and most hard-working groups, but also one of the most resilient groups to have walked the halls of Everett High School. As we all know, Covid struck the US when this group of students were nearing the end of their eighth-grade year, and as a result, were forced to transition from middle school to high school through online classes in a time of great uncertainty and unrest. This was a rough start since online school was just a weird experience. Every student was just a black box with their name written on it, we weren’t able to physically talk to one another, (I mean I don’t count those Zoom breakout rooms since the students rarely unmuted their mics or turned their cameras on), and many high school activities such as sports and clubs were canceled. Even so, when school became in person again, we came into the school as excited as ever, eager to meet new friends, learn new topics, and try new things–like football in February and eating socially distant lunch in the gym. The resilience and optimism of our class helped us push forward through some of the greatest challenges that were thrown our way. I don’t know if I can emphasize enough how supportive our teachers were throughout that year, and over these past four years as a whole. It is thanks to their passion for teaching and desire to assist and connect with their students that helped each one of us stay motivated, grow, and achieve our goals. The connections that we made with our teachers helped us look forward to a school day, even if we didn’t always love getting up in the morning. Whether it was spending the after school discussing the middle east in Mr. Bailey’s room, enacting the different scenes of Julius Caesar in Mr. O’s class, or bugging Mrs. Brogna for more Calculus help, these precious moments that we shared with our teachers motivated us to continue and revealed to us that there were more people uplifting us and wanting us Class Valedictorian Nischal Tamang has a grade point average of 4.996. Tamang said precious moments shared with teachers motivates graduates to succeed. to succeed. They believed in us, which helped us believe in ourselves. However, I am not going to act like everything went right for everyone, every day. There are memories from these high school years that each one of us will hold dear in our hearts– but there are also those moments of regrets that will linger in the back of our minds. “I wish I had joined this sport or club,” “I wish I had talked to this person,” “I wish I had passed instead of shooting in that one game,” or “I wish I had taken that class more seriously.” No matter who you are, you are bound to have one of these “wishes” or regrets. But the truth is that these events of the past cannot be changed. As one saying goes “is it the past because it cannot be changed or can it not be changed because it is the past?” (I’m kidding, I made that saying up). But going back to the topic, I ask you, what is the point of looking back on these regrets if you can’t do anything about them? Well that’s why: because it is best to forget it and move on; unlock the tomorrow that awaits you and approach it with excitement and an open mind without the lingering thoughts of those regrets. Luckily for us, this is the perfect moment to start approaching life with this new thought, because this is not only a graduation but the beginning of a new adventure, a new chapter of our life with an uncertain but exciting future. Whether you are attending college, enlisting in the military, attending a trade school, or something entirely different, a variety of new experiences and opportunities are waiting for each one of us. So, as you take your diploma today, I want each one of you to take this opportunity to leave those past regrets behind and to look forward to your future. I want your diploma to be a symbol of your promise to continue being resilient and move forward no matter the adversity thrown your way, to erase those regrets and embrace those opportunities that await us as we move forward into all of our tomorrows. I wish you all the best of luck. Thank you. William Hart – Supt. of Everett Public Schools Graduation Remarks G ood morning! A heartfelt thank you to everyone for being here this morning.

City of Everett hosting Babson College’s Youth Entrepreneurship in Action Workshop Everett residents ages 14–19 can register now for this FREE opportunity M ayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce that the City of Everett will host Babson Academy’s Youth Impact Lab to bring its Youth Entrepreneurship in Action Workshop to Everett residents on Wednesday, June 27, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Everett Recreation Center (47 Elm St.). Everett youth ages 14 to 19 will have the opportunity to participate in this program that is designed to teach students how to think and act like an entrepreneur. The program is taught in an engaging and conversational style with students to develop a solution to a problem in groups with other students. “The City of Everett Youth Development and Enrichment Department is ecstatic to be able to provide this opportunity for our youth and young professionals in collaboration with Babson Academy Youth Impact Lab,” said Director of Youth Development and Enrichment John Russolillo, who is an alumnus of Babson. He added, “I recognize the importance of being exposed to entrepreneurial principles at a young age not only to learn how to start a business, but to expand your mind to be an adaptive and progressive member of society as well.” “Babson Academy Youth Impact Lab works with youth and educators around the world to cultivate future entrepreneurial leaders who possess the agency, confidence, and resiliency to solve sticky problems,” said Babson Academy Youth Impact Lab’s Senior Director for Academic Strategy, Dr. Beth Goldstein. “Possessing entrepreneurial skills can have a positive role in a youth’s future success. We look forward to working with the City of Everett to show their youth how to navigate a world filled with uncertainty and help them see themselves as entrepreneurs equipped with the skills, knowledge and agency to be changemakers.” The workshop will be divided into two sessions. The first session – Thinking and Acting Like an Entrepreneur – will introduce students to Babson’s definition of entrepreneurship and its Entrepreneurial Thought & Action® (ET&A™) methodology. Students will work in teams to practice design thinking by generating solutions for a challenge related to a United Nations Global Goal. At the end of the session, students will present their problems and proposed solutions and receive real-time feedback on their ideas. In the second session – Prototyping Challenge – the students will be led through a rapid prototyping exercise where they bring their ideas to life in physical form. Students will learn about the advantages of taking action and receiving real-time feedback. In this hands-on activity, students will learn how they can make their ideas tangible using simple resources, such as paper, cardboard, scissors, markers and tape to communicate their ideas. Residents who are interested in this free opportunity must register in advance by visiting cityofeverett.com/ events/youth-entrepreneurship-workshop. The program is limited to 45 participants. For more information, please call 617-394-2270 to be connected to the Youth Development and Enrichment Department or email John.Russolillo@ci.everett.ma.us. ׉ 7cassandra://5EFTT8vftW9tGkEGbLwe4-LkcX14Xn5_f64-tKeG0Uo0`̰fb:mefb:me PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://Y_3tJlrl1okg2xzJJdDqc9lq_phXpqYiFojJnvWNTy0&`)׉ 7cassandra://Lzbq4-16mqz9r8Ox8dwWziE446kiXvlRJqSSPk3IbHQ͉0`J׉ 7cassandra://lhnP4pTy3MjgDeZ3xFD1DPCzyHCPL9YTycv6TOZ5LS8&:`̰fbDme,ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://XQaBMdvvFf90_k2YTXzpoVO4hy4sIGqOaPTYTZN6xyY-`)׉ 7cassandra://z-5gaUPPUiHmSmstSmoyax5u6A0q4ImyCCEu7GwSH_I͛R`J׉ 7cassandra://7eEw7msZnqNvT88nmeC97mm0jGF0XiEB4IpWC3RZvCA,`̰fbFme-נfbGme0 4Jr 9ׁHhttp://www.aspca.orgׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 20 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 7, 2024 ANNOUNCEMENT ~ Everett Public Libraries Calendar of Events ~ June 10–15, 2024 Parlin Adult and Teens Pin Your Pride On!

Say nr Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller Long-Term Care Benefi ts for Veterans and Surviving Spouses Dear Savvy Senior, I understand that the Veterans Administration has a benefit that can help veterans and spouses with longterm care costs. We recently had to move my elderly father into an assisted living memory care facility, and my mother will probably need care too in the near future. What can you tell me? Searching for Aid Dear Searching, The Veterans Administration (VA) does indeed have an underutilized benefi t that can help wartime veterans and their surviving spouses pay for a variety of long-term care costs. This benefit, called “Aid CITY OF EVERETT and Attendance,” is a special pension that’s paid on top of existing VA pensions for eligible veterans and surviving spouses. In 2024, it pays a maximum of $2,727 a month to married veterans; $2,300 a month to single veterans; or $1,478 a month to a surviving spouse. The money is tax free, and can be used to pay for assisted living, memory care, nursing home or inhome care services. Currently, around 156,000 PUBLIC HEARING FOR PETITION FROM MASSACHUSETTS ELECTRIC COMPANY D/B/A NATIONAL GRID OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS & VERIZON, NEW ENGLAND To all parties interested in the public hearing.

Wherefore it prays that after due notice and hearing as provided by law, it be granted a location for and permission to erect and maintain poles and wires, together with such sustaining and protecting fixtures as it may find necessary, said poles to be erected substantially in accordance with the plan filed herewith marked: Beacham Street - Everett - Massachusetts Hearing to be held with the Everett City Council, held on Monday at 7:00PM, on the 24th of June, 2024 at the Everett City Council Chambers, 3rd Floor, Everett City Hall. June 07, 2024 For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net veterans and survivors are receiving the Aid and Attendance benefi t, but many thousands more are eligible who either don’t know about it or don’t think they qualify. Eligibility Requirements To qualify, your dad must have served at least 90 days of active military service with at least one day of service during a period of war, and not have been discharged dishonorably. Single surviving spouses of wartime vets are eligible if their marriage ended due to death. In addition, your dad will also have to meet certain thresholds for medical and fi nancial need to be eligible. To qualify medically he must be either disabled, or over the age of 65 and need help performing basic everyday living tasks such as eating, bathing, dressing or going to the bathroom. Being blind or in a nursing home due to disability or receiving Social Security Disability or SSI also qualifi es him. Single surviving spouses have no age restrictions, but they must require help with basic everyday living tasks to be eligible. To qualify fi nancially your parents “net worth,” which includes assets and annual income combined, must be below $155,356 in 2024. To calculate this, add up your parent’s assets, which includes their personal property (like investments, real estate, etc.) excluding their primary home and vehicles. And tally up their income over the past year (including Social Security, pensions, interest income from investments, annuities, etc.), minus any out-of-pocket medical expenses, prescription drugs, insurance premiums and long-term care costs over that same period of time. The VA also has a threeyear lookback to determine if your parents transferred any assets to ensure they would qualify for benefi ts. If so, they may be subject to a penalty period of up to 5 years. How to Apply To apply for Aid and Attendance, you’ll need to fi ll out VA Form 21-2680 and mail it to the Pension Management Center (PMC) for your dad’s state. You’ll need to have your dad’s doctor fi ll out the examination information section. Or you can also apply in person at a VA regional offi ce near your parents. For more information or to download application forms see VA.gov/pension/aid-attendance-housebound. You can also call the VA at 800– 827–1000 if you have questions. If you need some help, you can appoint a Veteran Service Offi cer (VSO), a VA-accredited attorney or claims agent to represent your dad. See VA.gov/ogc/apps/accreditation/index.asp to locate someone. If your dad is eligible, it can take months for his application to be processed, so be patient. You should also know that if your dad’s Aid and Attendance application is approved, the VA will send a lump sum retroactive payment covering the time from the day you fi led the application until the day it was approved. Then your dad receives monthly payments going forward. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

It is also a very good idea to have contingent beneficiaries on your IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, annuity policies, etc. Under Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) Chapter 190B, Section 2-603, commonly known as the “anti-lapse” statute, if a legacy is to a grandparent or a lineal decedent of a grandparent of the testator, and that beneficiary predeceases the testator, the issue (i.e. children or grandchildren) of the deceased beneficiary will take the legacy. If they are all of the same degree of kinship, then they will all take equally. If they are not all of the same degree of kinship, those of the more remote degree take by right of representation. Lineal descendants of a grandparent include adopted children. If a beneficiary is “not” related by blood or adoption to the testator, and there is no alternate taker in default, the legacy will “lapse” and fall into the residue of the estate. Wellman v. Carter, 286 Mass. 237, 255 (1934). Under MGL Chapter 190B, Section 2-604(b), if a residuary gift to a residuary beneficiary fails, then such share will pass to the other residuary beneficiaries proportionally. As is usually the case with statutory presumptions, the statutory presumptions found in the anti-lapse statute are designed to approximate what the legislature believes the testator’s intent most likely would have been if the testator had specifically addressed the subject. It is better practice in drafting a Will to specify, for each gift, whether the gift is to pass to the beneficiary’s issue if the beneficiary does not survive the testator, or whether the gift is to be only “if he or she survives me”. Issue would include children and grandchildren. For example, “I give the sum of $100,000 to Davie Crocket, if he survives me”. If Davie does not survive the testator, the $100,000 legacy will lapse. The testator could also include the following provision: “I give the sum of $100,000 to Davie Crocket, if he survives me. If Davie Crocket is not living at the time of my death, I give the sum of $100,000 to his children who survive me, the issue of any deceased child to take their parent’s share by right of representation”. If Davie does not survive the testator, and has one son living at the time of his death, his son will receive the $100,000 legacy. If both Davie Crocket and his son are not living at the time of the testator’s death, but Davie’s grandson is living, his grandson will receive the $100,000 legacy. In this instance the gift will not lapse and fall into the residuary estate. The residuary estate is that part of the testator’s estate that is not specifically bequeathed or devised to an individual or entity or that part of the testator’s estate that includes bequests or devises to individuals or entities that have “lapsed”. Right of representation (or “per stirpes” as the two phrases are used interchangeably) means that each “branch” of your descendants will share equally. For example, if you die having had three children, with one child having 2 children, one child having 3 children and the third child having 4 children, but one child had predeceased you, your estate will still be divided equally among 3 “branches” or “stalks”. If the child who predeceased you was the one with 4 children, his 4 children will share equally in 1/3 of the estate. Joseph D.

Among other things, the Operating Budget will fund portable police radios. Chief Financial Officer Eric Demas told the Councillors that the totals were so large because “the Mayor is trying to be transparent and show everything department heads are requesting. In years past he put forward CIPs based on what he planned to spend, but he wants to share everything he sees with the Council to make sure it’s aware of all projects the City is facing. It’s not likely he’ll put forth all the projects this year, but wanted to make sure the Council is aware of what he sees.” Demas added that the Mayor also hopes “to solicit feedback from the City Council as to what they may be interested in and projects that don’t get any traction, knowing that some projects require special meetings.” As for what might be funded, Demas said the funding for some projects might aff ect others, but items funded through the Capital Improvement Stabilization Fund will probably be prioritized. “As projects get closer to approval, the Mayor will send them forward to the Council,” he predicted. He also noted that the Council sometimes gets on board with projects it may not prioritize when aid becomes available. Noting the high total slated for borrowing, Van Campen asked, “Is there a rule-of-thumb as to how much of the budget should be debt, say 5%?” “5% is the standard rule, but you have to look at the overall budget and what fi xed costs are,” Demas answered. In comments in the last month, the Mayor’s Chief of Staff , Erin Deveney, has said increases in fi xed costs are a major factor in formulating the City’s budgets. - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI24P3017EA Estate of: MARY C.
