(Courtesy of Mayor’s Offi ce) Special to Th e Advocate O n Monday, October 5, Governor Maura Healey held a press conference at the Connolly Center to announce new actions to help Massachusetts families lower their utility bills this winter. She was joined by former Congressman Joe Kennedy III, Mayor Robert J. Van Campen and representatives of Citizens Energy and Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD). Governor Healey declared a State of Energy Emergency, unveiling an energy affordability plan that will expand eligibility for heating assistance, provide temporary relief on electric bills and protect against petroleum product price gouging. This plan includes creating a new home heating assistance benefi t for approximately 50,000 middle-class households who did not qualify for existing programs, as well as increasing heating assistance for approximately 156,000 low-income households as part of the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). In addition, the governor will eliminate the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) program charge on residential electric bills for three months and cut the Alternative Portfolio Standard by 50 percent this winter. Overall, this plan will lower energy bills for approximately 85 percent of ratepayers. She also sent a letter to Congressional leaders urging them to provide an additional $3 billion in emergency funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), bringing the program to $7 billion. “I’m declaring a State of Energy Emergency because in Massachusetts, we are going to use every tool we have to get people relief,” said Governor Healey. “We’re delivering nearly $150 million in savings, including helping middle-class families who didn’t State Representative Joe McGonagle is shown listening to Governor Maura Healey during the press conference at the Connolly Center on Oct. 5, 2026.

I’m also grateful for the strong partnership of Congressman Joe Kennedy and Citizens Energy to create the Winter Warmth Fund to deliver additional relief to families…” “For too many of our neighbors, an unexpected heating emergency can quickly become a crisis — forcing families to make impossible choices between keeping the heat on and putting food on the table or paying other essential bills,” said Citizens Energy President Joe Kennedy. “Every family deserves a warm and safe home, especially when winter arrives in Massachusetts. The Emergency Winter Warmth Fund is about making sure no one has to face that choice alone. By bringing together Citizens Energy, the Commonwealth, and partners across Massachusetts, we can help families through the moments when Governor Maura Healey held a press conference at the Connolly Center on Oct. 5, 2026, to announce new actions to help Massachusetts families lower their utility bills this winter.

(Courtesy of Mayor’s Offi ce) they need a helping hand most and make sure no one is left out in the cold.” The cost of heating oil is currently 70 percent higher this winter compared to this week last year, and prices are likely to remain volatile. In Massachusetts the average price of home heating oil reached $6.08 per gallon as of September 28, 2026, up 73 percent from $3.52 last year. Approximately one in fi ve Massachusetts households relies on heating oil, particularly in older homes and rural communities. “Keeping Everett affordable and making sure our residents can get help when they need it is a priority for my administration,” said Mayor Van Campen. “No senior should have to choose between heating their home, putting food on the table, or fi lling an essential prescription. Strong relationships with our partners at the state level are critical to addressing challenges like rising energy costs, and I’m grateful to Governor Healey and her administration for recognizing the pressure families are facing and taking action to provide real relief. When the City and the Commonwealth work together, we can make sure these resources reach the residents who need them most.” The City of Everett is committed to helping residents get assistance when they need it.

The following defendants have been indicted by a federal grand jury on one count each of bank fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. 1. David Obeng, 24, of Dedham; 2. Lynley Joseph, 26, of Brockton; 3. Lindsley Georges, 33, of Everett; and 4. Shaunsayh Addo, 33, of Leominster. A second indictment also charged Obeng with one count of wire fraud conspiracy, fi ve counts of bank fraud, two counts of money laundering and one count of aggravated identity theft. All four defendants were arrested this morning. Following initial appearances in federal court in Boston, Joseph and Addo were released on conditions and Obeng and Georges remain detained pending hearings to be scheduled at a later date. According to court records, Georges was previously convicted of money laundering in the District of Massachusetts in January 2022. Georges was serving a term of federal supervised release at the time of his alleged participation in the conspiracies charged in the indictment. “Today’s indictment of these four individuals is a major step in bringing justice for all those impacted by this self-serving crime,” said Thomas Demeo, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, Boston Field Offi ce. “For too long, organized criminal elements have preyed on the American public. These individuals thought that they were untouchable, operating with impunity, as they stole treasury checks intended for hard working taxpayers. IRSCI is committed to fi nding defendants involved in fraud and bringing them to justice.” “Today, we arrested four men for their alleged roles in a yearslong, sprawling fraud ring that not only defrauded multiple banks and credit unions out of millions of dollars, but dragged dozens of innocent victims into their scheme. These men apparently thought they found an easy way to score some fast cash, but they couldn’t have been more wrong.

School configuration, scheduling and class size plans call for the new High School to be organized by grades by floor and departments vertically stacked to share resources, what is often called a “layer cake” school. Special Education (SPED) and English as a Learned Language (ELL) classes and students would be integrated throughout the building. Some, such as a Newcomer Academy and Life Skills, would be clustered. The two-day, four-block schedule would be retained with class sizes averaging 23. Regarding Administration and Academic Organization, the Main Office would have space for a Family Welcome Center and security office, with other administrative support people, such as Assistant Principals, Counselors, Social Workers and Department Directors, dispersed in various wings and on various floors throughout the building. The Nurse’s Office would be adjacent to the Main Office. Core Academics would involve flexible learning environments for differentiated instruction, varied teaching modalities and co-teaching; have spaces that mirror careers and opportunities in those fields; have spaces for core collaboration, seminars and small group opportunities and have science labs that can accommodate outdoor learning. The Athletics and Physical Education facilities would include a partitionable gym with three distinct areas for simultaneous classes/practices, and, ideally, a track, fitness center and Olympic-style weight room, direct outdoor field access from the building, a film room and storage areas for equipment. College and CTE would include Advanced Manufacturing, Carpentry, Culinary Arts, Health and Medical, and Marketing with additional programs in Automotive Technology, Biotechnology, Cosmetology, Dental Assisting, Design and Visual Communications, Early Education and Care, Electrical, Engineering and Technology, Environmental Science, HVAC, Multimedia and Broadcasting, Plumbing and Public Safety. The Media Center and Library would include a digital research area, recording/ podcast studio, small study areas, career rooms and seminar spaces for professional development, mock trial and alternate lunch. The idea is to centralize technology with availability to all students and staff. A double-entry vestibule screening system, student electronic passes, lockable bathrooms with monitoring devices to detect vaping, and clear sightlines with no columns blocking views in the library or cafeteria are planned to ensure Safety and Security. Having lockable bathrooms is the result, in part, of a discussion at a School Committee meeting on September 15, 2024, during which Superintendent William Hart and High School Principal John Braga reported bathrooms were being used by students to meet between and during classes and were being damaged. A Cafeteria would be large enough to accommodate four lunches of approximately 700 students each and six to eight serving lines. There would also be outdoor eating and quiet lunch areas. At the School Committee meeting on Monday, October 5, Adams told the members Everett’s schools have been classified as “not requiring intervention,” based on a series of metrics tracked by the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The metrics include rates of completion of High School, dropout rates, proficiency in English for ELL students and state Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) test scores. The rating is a result of implementing initiatives from the 202526 school year, including expanding opportunities for out-of-school tutoring, redesigning professional learning communities, focusing on students writing, and creating a system of walk-throughs that have teachers monitoring and learning from other teachers. Adams added that the walkthroughs and observations are “to give feedback about what we see in the classroom in a supportive way, not a gotcha” and “student writing and test scores improve the more they write.” Initiatives for the current school year include “using High Quality Instructional Material (HQIM) ensuring all students, especially students with disabilities and multi-language learners, experience targeted, rigorous instruction that leads to grade-level proficiency and student ownership,” increasing opportunities for reading at home, having models for K-8 co-teaching and tutoring for first and second grades. “We want students to take ownership of their education and have them do more of the heavy lifting,” Adams elaborated. That includes having high academic and behavioral expectations. ׉ 0s3://xMeibVT34cb55Rp9-Y3Oc_L3vn6mmjE61lWHRJsycJU1`j9 Fpc׉E UTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 16, 2026 Page 7 Everett’s first affordable family housing in 50 years takes shape on Garvey Street ing alongside Impact Residential, with the support of the City of Everett and the many public and private partners who have helped move this project forward.

Since the 2025 groundbreaking, construction has moved quickly. All vertical construction is complete, and crews are now working on the interior. The 125-unit building is scheduled for completion in summer 2027. The building will have five residential stories over a podium parking garage, with a mix of unit sizes for individuals and families: nine studios, 28 one-bedroom, 74 two-bedroom and 14 three-bedroom apartments. Seventy percent of the units, the maximum allowed by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC), will have a preference for Everett residents. “Garvey Street represents years of work, investment, and a shared commitment to bringing 125 new affordable rental homes to Everett,” said The Neighborhood Developers’ Director of Real Estate, Steve Laferriere. “We’re grateful to be buildPlease contact your local Board of Health or Department of Public Works for information on where to safely dispose of these items.

When we build housing, folks not only have a place to live, they deepen their sense of community in Everett.” The Garvey Street tour was one of two events this month focused on aff ordability in Everett.

Many guests inquired about Woody’s secret to longevity, as he approaches his 100th birthday in January 2027, and heard him tell stories of his time as a Black man entering the service. “I have had the tremendous honor of getting to know Woody over the years,” said McGonagle. “He is an incredible man who has lived an incredible life and I never get tired of listening to his stories and absorbing his wisdom. He chose to fi ght for a country in a time where people like him were still discriminated against. Yet, he persevered. This ceremony is about showing Woody the impact he has on the veteran community and the Commonwealth as a whole.” Woodhouse was a paymaster/finance officer for the 332nd Fighter Group, 15th Air Force — also called the Tuskegee Airmen — in the United States.

Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Boston Division. “The FBI will investigate anyone engaged in this sort of alleged criminal behavior. To those thinking about following in their footsteps: get ready to learn the same lesson, courtesy of the FBI and our law enforcement partners.” “The arrests made today highlight the broad reach of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service when it comes to dismantling complex fi nancial crimes. This investigation showcases the results that postal inspectors strive to achieve in collaboration with our law enforcement partners. We remain steadfast in our mission of protecting the integrity of the U.S. Mail and all customers who use it,” said Justin Page, Acting Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Boston Division. According to the fi rst indictment, the defendants allegedly coordinated the theft and deposit of United States Treasury checks, totaling at least $12.2 million between 2023 and 2026. As alleged, each of the U.S. Treasury checks was issued to a true payee but had been altered to be payable to shell companies the defendants controlled. Each defendant allegedly directed the deposit of fraudulent checks at banks or credit unions in and around Metro Boston in exchange for a cut of the proceeds of those deposits. Following the initial fraudulent deposits, the defendants allegedly conducted and caused others to conduct fi nancial transactions to conceal the origin of the stolen funds, including, among other things, the purchase and deposit of cashier’s checks, the purchase of $310,000 in luxury watches and a $425,000 real estate loan secured by property in Nantucket, Mass. Eight other individuals in June 2025 and one other individual in June 2026 were charged with the theft of government funds or bank fraud in connection with the deposit of the same stolen Treasury checks. According to the second indictment, Obeng and others allegedly obtained unauthorized electronic access to victims’ bank and retirement accounts, including through sending texts that were made to appear to be from the victims’ banks seeking to confi rm a recent purchase and by posing as bank representatives in calls with victims. In the calls, conspirators allegedly posed as fraud investigators and persuaded victims to provide codes needed to authorize withdrawals from their accounts under the guise of verifying their identities. Obeng and others allegedly used this access to transfer funds from victim accounts to accounts Obeng and his coconspirators controlled. The indictment also alleges that Obeng and others recruited individuals to go into bank branches and pose as customers, open accounts, transfer or deposit fraud proceeds into these accounts and then withdraw the funds in cash. The charges of bank fraud and bank fraud conspiracy provide for a sentence of up to 30 years in prison, fi ve of supervised release and a fi ne of up to $1 million. The charge of money laundering conspiracy provides for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fi ne of up to $250,000. The charges of money laundering and money laundering conspiracy provide for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fi ne of up to $500,000. The charge of aggravated identity theft provides for sentence of no less than twoyears in prison to run consecutively to any other sentence imposed, one year of supervised release and a fi ne of $250,000. The sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case. U.S. Attorney Foley; IRS SAC Demeo; FBI SAC Docks; and Acting USPIS IIC Page made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kristen Kearney and Seth B. Kosto of the Securities, Financial & Cyber Fraud Unit are prosecuting the cases. The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendants are presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in the court of law. ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Bring back Village Fest Dear Editor, I’m writing as an Everett resident to ask a simple question: when is Village Fest coming back? For years, one Saturday every September, this whole city ended up in the same place. Santilli Highway in the Village closed to traffi c and fi lled with neighbors — families with kids, old friends running into each other, people who’d lived on the same street for years fi nally learning each other’s names. There was music, food trucks, and the local breweries, but the real draw was each other. In 2017 something like 10,000 of us were down there together. You could feel what this city is. Then the pandemic scattered us, and like so much else, the festival never came back. We’ve gotten used to living more separate lives — and the irony is we need a day like that now more than we did then. Everett just proved it can still do this: the Multicultural Festival celebrated its 20th year, neighbors from every background in one place. And look next door — Somerville’s Porchfest turns whole neighborhoods into music venues for a day, and the HONK! festival packs Davis Square with street bands every fall. Those cities never let their community days die. Village Fest deserves the same second chance. It was never really about the headliners, great as they were. It was about a free day where everybody belonged — local shops and food vendors showing what they do, kids running around, and a whole city remembering it’s a community. So I’m asking the city, and anyone reading this who remembers those September Saturdays: let’s bring it back. Not for nostalgia’s sake, but because a city is only as strong as the people in it, and people need a place to be together.

Crimson Tide Sports Notebook: Football keeps on winning; Girls soccer dominates; Boys soccer looks ahead to the GBL Cup By Joe McConnell Tide football thinks ‘next play’ for more success T he Crimson Tide football team (4-1) has now won three in a row, and four of their first five games, including last Friday night’s home encounter against Revere, 35-27. What’s the secret to their success, here’s what Coach Rob DiLoreto had to say about that. “Our team is committed to adhering to a next play mindset,” he said. “We are trying our best to stay in the moment and stay focused on what we can control, which is (as simple as) the next play for us throughout each game. This next play mentality helps us to focus on our effort and performance on each snap. I can hear our players saying ‘next play’ to each other, especially if something bad happens. It is helping us stay focused, for sure.” DiLoreto mentioned that Jamauri Dulin (5 receptions for 136 yards; 6 carries for 64 yards) played a tremendous game on both offense and defense to help lead his teammates to past Revere. “(Dulin) made several extremely athletic plays as a wide receiver in this game, and also played very physical on defense,” the veteran coach added.

She’s proud and insists on doing things herself, but I worry she’s falling behind. How can I help her manage her fi nances without upsetting her? --Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, You’re not alone – lots of adult children step in to help aging parents with their fi nances. Whether it’s paying bills, handling bank accounts, filing insurance claims, or sorting through taxes, taking on these responsibilities can feel tricky. The key is to approach it with respect, organization, and the right safeguards. Here’s how to help your mom without stepping on her independence. Have a conversation Talking about money can be sensitive, especially with a parent who values doing things on her own. Start with a gentle, respectful conversation. Share your concerns and off er to help with her bills or other chores. If you have siblings, loop them in too. Knowing the whole family is on the same page can reassure your mom that everyone cares, not that you’re taking over. Get organized If your mom is open to your help, the fi rst step is getting organized. Make a clear list of her fi nancial info, including monthly bills like utilities, phone, cable, and credit cards; bank and investment accounts; company benefi ts like retirement plans or pensions; insurance policies, including life, home, auto, long-term care, and Medicare; and copies of recent income tax returns. Having everything in one place will make managing her fi nances much smoother for both of you. Locate legal documents Now’s also a good time to see if your mom has essential legal papers: a will or trust, an advance directive with a living will and health-care proxy, and a durable power of attorney for fi nances. If she doesn’t, now’s the time to get them in place. If she does, make sure they’re up to date and that you know where to fi nd them. Simplify fi nancial tasks To make life easier for both you and your mom, set up automatic payments for her bills and have her income go straight into her bank account. If her accounts and investments are scattered, consider consolidating them – it makes everything much simpler. You can also get her banking and investment accounts online so you can pay bills and monitor everything anytime, without digging through papers or making extra trips. Set up protections Protect your mom from scams or risky spending. A True Link Visa Prepaid Card (truelinkfinancial.com/prepaid-card) gives her access to her money but lets you set spending limits. Online monitoring services like Carefull (getcarefull. com) or EverSafe (eversafe.com) can watch her accounts, fl ag anything suspicious, and send alerts if something seems off . These tools give peace of mind while letting her maintain independence. Seek outside help If you live far away or just need a hand, professional services can step in. SilverBills (silverbills.com) handles bill payments, while a certifi ed daily money manager (aadmm.com) can come by once or twice a month to pay bills, make deposits, sort through health insurance statements, and keep everything organized. Think of them as extra hands to make life easier for both of you. Helping a parent manage fi - nances takes patience, respect, and tact. With clear communication, organization, and the right safeguards, you can support your mom while keeping her independence and peace of mind intact.

On November 3, or prior to that for voters who take advantage of early voting between October 1730, all voters will have the opportunity to vote on nine ballot questions that will become law if approved by the majority of voters. To get on the ballot, the groups backing each ballot question were required to collect and submit at least 74,574 signatures last fall. The Legislature had until May 5, 2026 to act on the proposed law. The Legislature did not act on any of the proposals by the May 5 deadline. At which point supporters were required to collect another 12,429 signatures by July 1, in order to get their question on the ballot. All nine groups gathered suffi cient signatures to get their question on the 2026 ballot. Although neither the House nor Senate voted on any of the nine proposals, the Committee on Initiative Petitions did hold public hearings on the questions. The committee eventually issued a majority report recommending that the Legislature take no action on each proposal. The Legislature never acted on the reports which were simply “placed on fi le,” where they died. Secretary of State Bill Galvin has issued an 88-page book via the U.S. mail and online with details about each question. If you would rather not read the entire 88-page book, Beacon Hill Roll Call continues its look at each ballot question over the next several weeks prior to the election. This week’s report includes Questions 4, 5 and 6. BALLOT QUESTION 4 – Here is a look at Question 4: QUESTION 4: THIS PROPOSED LAW WOULD PERMIT ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS TO REGISTER TO VOTE ON ELECTION DAY. This question asks voters if they approve of allowing an eligible individual to register to vote on Election Day by going to their polling place and presenting proof of residency and signing a written oath. Proof of residency could be a valid photo identifi cation, or documentation showing the individual’s name and the address where the individual resides, including a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, residential lease, wireless telephone statement, paycheck, current student fee statement or other document from a post-secondary school, or another government document or correspondence. The written oath would require the individual to certify that they are a citizen of the United States, are at least 18 years old, are not legally prohibited from voting, and have not and will not vote in the same election at another location. The oath would require the individual to acknowledge that providing false information is a felony punishable by not more than 5 years imprisonment or a fi ne of not more than $10,000, or both. WHAT SUPPORTERS TOLD BEACON HILL ROLL CALL Norma Shulman, a spokesperson for “Yes on Election Day Registration” did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her why voters should vote “Yes” on Question 4; why opponents are wrong and are they distorting the truth in their arguments; and how is the campaign for Question 4 going? Shulman did respond to Secretary of State Bill Galvin and her response was included in Gavin’s 88page book. “A vote for Election Day Registration ensures our democracy is truly representative, secure and modern,” wrote Shulman. “Allowing voters to register at the polls will give thousands of citizens the chance to participate in important national elections. This policy especially helps those who move frequently, like young people and renters. This law provides maximum voter access with rigorous security safeguards. It is a common-sense reform that guarantees every eligible voice is heard.” WHAT OPPONENTS TOLD BEACON HILL ROLL CALL Amy Carnevale, a spokesperson for the Massachusetts Republican party, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her why voters should vote “No” on Question 4; why supporters are wrong and are they distorting the truth in their arguments; and how is the campaign for Question 4 going? Carnevale did respond to Secretary of State Bill Galvin and her response was included in Gavin’s 88page book. “The public welfare demands that elections be protected from fraud,” wrote Carnevale. “Sameday voter registration prejudices that welfare by eliminating the advance period during which election offi cials can examine a registrant’s identity, residence, eligibility or duplicate registration before a ballot is issued. Instead, offi cials would be required to make those determinations at the polling place, under substantial time pressure and amid the extraordinary demands of Election Day. Errors, false statements or confl icting records that escape detection may not be discovered until after the ballot has been cast and commingled with all others, when it can no longer be identifi ed or withdrawn. WHAT YOUR VOTE DOES: A “Yes” vote would allow Election Day voter registration. A “No” vote would make no changes to the laws governing voter registration. BALLOT QUESTION 5 – Here is a look at Question 5: QUESTION 5: THIS PROPOSED LAW WOULD LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE THE STATE CAN COLLECT EACH YEAR AND PROVIDE THAT THE EXCESS AMOUNT, ABOVE THAT LIMIT, BE REFUNDED TO TAXPAYERS. This question asks voters if they approve of limiting state revenue in a given year to the net amount of state revenue from the prior year, increased by a rate equal to the average growth of wages and salaries in Massachusetts over the most recent three years. If revenue collected by the state exceeds the limit, the excess amount would be refunded to taxpayers the following year. WHAT SUPPORTERS TOLD BEACON HILL ROLL CALL “Massachusetts families are facing a real aff ordability challenge,” said Chris Keohane, a spokesperson for Taxpayers for an Aff ordable Massachusetts. “Housing, food, childcare, energy and other everyday costs continue to put pressure on household budgets. At the same time, state tax revenues have grown dramatically. Since 2010 our state budget has grown more than two times the rate of wage increases and 2.5 times the rate of infl ation. This is unsustainable -- particularly with stagnant job growth and a resident leaving our state every 11 minutes and 38 seconds. At a time when people are struggling, now is the time to put money directly back in people’s pockets.” BEACON | SEE PAGE 16 ׉ 0s3://5bOHfpmt6xAoG5_jIQipqvv252-ZZEbfIe2NcqRId4U0<`j9 Fpv׉E"THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 16, 2026 Page 15 SPORTS | FROM PAGE 11 (10 completions for 181 yards; 7 carries for 19 more yards) was credited with three passing touchdowns against the Patriots, plus he rushed for another one on the ground. With that type of off ensive output, DiLoreto praised his off ensive line of Kellyson Linhares, Guerlins Christalin, Omarian Ayala, Moises Interiano and James DeSouza for the team’s success in constantly moving the ball up and down the field. “They continue to play well as one unit that has enabled us to move the ball so successfully this year,” the coach added. Tyler Freni carried the ball 12 times for 98 yards. He also caught one pass from Walsh for 14 more yards. On defense, Armani Negron led the way with four solo tackles and eight more assisted tackles. Freni was next with two solos and seven assisted tackles. The Everett boys will be looking for their fifth win of the year, when they head to Lynn’s Manning Field to take on the Lynn English Bulldogs on Friday night, Oct. 16, at 5 p.m. “Lynn English (2-3) has another very good football team this year,” said DiLoreto. “They are very well-coached in all three phases of the game, and I’m also very impressed with their physicality. We need to practice hard and prepare very hard for this game. We know that they run the spread off ense with success, and they also run the ball very well on the ground. On defense, they mix up their fronts between odd and even, and so our linemen need to communicate with each other, so we can be up for those challenges that are presented to us. We know that we will need to play our very best on Friday night.” Tide girls soccer dominates both Lynn GBL teams A fter dropping a close 3-2 home encounter to Greater Boston League rival Malden under the lights at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Oct. 5, the Everett girls soccer team (8-2-2) got right back to winning with shutout victories over Lynn Classical (4-0, Oct. 6) and Lynn English (8-0, Oct. 9) to close out last week. The Golden Tornadoes scored fi rst, but the home team answered back about 15 minutes later to tie up the contest at one. Melany Arana crossed the ball to a waiting Johanna Flores, who fi red the shot into the back of the net. Sofi a Arana-Quintanilla netted the team’s second goal on a penalty kick. “Arana-Quintanilla is our best penalty kick and free kick specialist,” said coach Dom Persuitte, who also singled out Tiffany Aguilar and goalie Julianna Rivera for their eff orts in this game. It was a much diff erent story the next day at 7-Acres against the Rams. “This was a great bounceback win,” said Persuitte. “We’re beat up with injuries, but we’re still giving it our best.” Captain Sofi a Arana-Quintanilla, on a free kick from about 25 yards out, accounted for the fi rst goal of this game. Brianna Santos netted goal number two assisted by captain Kayla Andrade. Odilas Sandoval then dribbled through the Lynn Classical defense, before producing the third tally. Flores closed out the off ense in this game with a goal that mirrored Sandoval’s score, as she too dribbled through the Classical defense. “Overall, this was a good game,” said Persuitte. “We worked on moving the ball around to limit our touches, while focusing on quicker play. Both of our goalies – Julianna and Kaylin Rivera –earned another shutout for themselves.” Lynn English then followed its Classical neighbors to 7-Acres three days later, which featured more dominating results by the Tide. “It was good to see the girls move the ball around with precision and pace,” said Persuitte. Norma Chaves helped lead the attack with two goals, both of which were off defl ections. The Crimson Tide scored within the fi rst two minutes of the game, and never looked back throughout this 8-0 rout. Rosa Romero passed the ball to Brianna Santos, who accounted for one of those goals. Andrade then received a cross, before scrambling in the box that helped produce her goal. Santos chipped in with another marker after the ball defl ected off the Classical goalie. ConOffered at $599,000 Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Commonwealth Real Estate Formerly Carpenito Real Estate nie Paz Hernandez also came through with a goal, followed by Santos’ third tally for the hat trick. Mel Ribeiro gave her a crisp pass to collect an assist on that play. Everett scored its fi nal goal of the game thanks to Lynn English’s generosity, when the Bulldogs shot the ball into their own net. Goalies Julianna and Kaylin Rivera earned yet another shutout, their sixth overall this fall. “This was a great overall team effort by everyone,” said Persuitte. The coach also specifi - cally mentioned the play of Tiffany Aguilar, Sofi a Arana-Qunitanillia and Gissell Lemus, which helped make the team’s eighth win possible. This week, the Tide has already gone up against Somerville (Oct. 13) and Malden again (Oct. 15), this time on the road, after press deadline.

The game turned out to be a back-and-forth battle, with the home team prevailing by one, 4-3. “We conceded a goal early on, when we got caught watching the ball,” said coach Rodney Landaverde. “We then held our own against them, and after a quick sub later on in the fi rst half, senior Whitney Pereira tied up the game on a goal from Cesar Rengifo.” The game was tied at one at halftime. “We were eager to start the second half, and as a result we came out pressing them aggressively,” said Landaverde. Rengifo set up the next goal after sending a far cross to the back post, where Daniel Henriquez was there to head it home to give his teammates the lead, 2-1. “We held the lead for another 10 minutes, before they countered with the tying goal,” said Landaverde. But the home team also scored the next two goals to take the lead for good. With fi ve minutes left on the clock, the Everett boys were still fighting to stay close on the scoreboard. Senior Pedro Nascimiento subbed-in, and quickly initiated a scoring opportunity on a through ball 30 yards away from the Marblehead net. Junior Saymon Coelho alertly pounced on the ball to trim the defi cit to one. But unfortunately for the Tide, that’s where the scoring ended. To say the least, it was a heartbreaking loss, but for Landaverde, he’s now looking forward to four upcoming Greater Boston League (GBL) matchups Home of the Week SAUGUS – 1st AD - Classic Colonial with Space, Character & Potential.

This simply limits how much we can grow revenue year to year. Furthermore, their position that this benefits the wealthy is patently false. Under a 2023 change in Massachusetts law, refunds are required to be distributed equally among eligible taxpayers. The proposed ballot measure does not change that. We are excited with the direction of the campaign. Every public poll has shown us with a significant lead and the interactions we have with voters reflects it. We have been doing dozens of regional forums, interviews and meetings. In each one, the response has been phenomenal because people want money back in their pockets.” WHAT OPPONENTS TOLD BEACON HILL ROLL CALL “As voters learn about the negative consequences Question 5 would have for Massachusetts, they’re increasingly seeing through the spin from the anti-government multi-millionaires who paid to put Question 5 on the ballot,” said Andrew Farnitano, a spokesperson for Protect Massachusetts’ Future. “Question 5’s reck~ Legal Notice ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT DEPARTMENT MIDDLESEX, ss Docket No: MI26E0055PP To Luis E. Umana of Gardner, in the County of Worcester, in the and to all other persons interested. A petition has been presented to said Court by, Aparicio Umana ,of Everett, in the County of Middlesex, representing that She holds as a joint tenant a 50% undivided part or share of certain land lying in Everett, in the County of Middlesex, and briefly described as follows. SOUTHWESTERLY by Nichols Street, 55 .25 feet; NORTHWESTERLY by Lot Al on said plan, 96.9 feet; SOUTHWESTERLY again by Lot Al on said plan, 2.3 feet; NORTHWESTERLY again by Lot Al on said plan, 25 feet; NORTHEASTERLY by land now or late of Lovejoy, 20 feet; SOUTHEASTERLY by land now or late of Bennett, 39 feet; NORTHEASTERLY again by land now or late of Bennett, 38.08 feet; and SOUTHEASTERLY again by Lot B, shown on said plan, now or late of Ida.

Question 5 would give repeated tax rebates to the rich while the rest of us suffer the pain of budget cuts, and it would severely limit the state’s ability to recover from recessions. Question 5 is great for multi-millionaires who don’t rely on public services, but it would be terrible for the rest of us.” WHAT YOUR VOTE DOES: A “Yes” vote would limit state revenue to the net amount of state revenue from the prior year, increased by a rate equal to the average growth of wages and salaries in Massachusetts over the most recent three years and return the excess amount to taxpayers. A “No” vote would make no changes to the laws governing the amount of revenue the state can collect. BALLOT QUESTION 6 – Here is a look at Question 6: QUESTION 6: THIS PROPOSED LAW WOULD ESTABLISH A “NATURE FOR ALL FUND” THAT WOULD RECEIVE 50% OF STATE TAXES COLLECTED FROM THE SALE AND USE OF SPORTING GOODS, RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND GOLF COURSES FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF ITS OPERATION AND 100 PERCENT IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS. This question asks voters if they approve of establishing a “Nature for All Fund” that, subject to appropriation by the Legislature, would receive 50% of state taxes collected from the sale and use of sporting goods, recreational vehicles and golf courses for the first year of its operation and 100% in subsequent years. The proposed law would allow the state Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs to spend the money in the fund for natural resource conservation and would also allow public and private donations to the fund. Natural resource conservation would include the conservation or restoration of land to protect drinking water, streams, rivers, lakes, coasts, farms, forests, connectivity between open spaces and lands and natural resources of indigenous cultural significance, as well as the creation, improvement and management of parks, trails, greenspaces and outdoor recreation access. WHAT SUPPORTERS TOLD BEACON HILL ROLL CALL “Mass Audubon, the Trustees, the Conservation Law Foundation and more than 125 organizations across Massachusetts support Question 6 because we see an urgent need to protect clean drinking water, preserve forests and wildlife habitats, build more trails and parks, and increase access to the outdoors and nature for everyone in the commonwealth,” said Andrew Farnitano, a spokesperson for Mass Audubon. “Question 6 would dedicate funds from the existing state sales tax we already pay on sporting goods like camping gear, golf clubs, and fishing equipment to a new “Nature for All Fund,” without raising taxes one cent. That means as much as $100 million each year — just 0.16% of the overall state budget — for permanently protecting and conserving water and nature.” Farnitano continued, “And Question 6 comes with real accountability: a public oversight board that approves all spending and strict annual reporting requirements so the public can see how every dollar is spent. A “Yes” on 6 will permanently protect the places we love by conserving forests, farms and wildlife habitats, reducing pollution in our rivers and streams and creating and improving local parks. I’ll also note that there is no organized opposition to Question 6.” WHAT OPPONENTS TOLD BEACON HILL ROLL CALL There is no organized group urging a “No” vote on this question so Beacon Hill Roll Call could not reach out to such a group. Opponents in general said that the law would create an unstable fiscal framework by permanently earmarking 100% of state sales tax revenues from sporting goods, recreational vehicles and golf courses. They noted that currently that revenue goes to existing ongoing programs and that redirecting it would require the reallocation or reduction of funds presently directed toward these other state initiatives, raising questions of opportunity costs and the potential displacement of existing infrastructure and environmental funding priorities. WHAT YOUR VOTE DOES: A “Yes” vote would create a fund that would be utilized for natural resource conservation. A “No” vote would make no changes to the laws governing natural resources conservation. ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL RENAME COLUMBUS DAY (S 2113/H 3292) – A bill sponsored by Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton) would designate the second Monday in October, now known as Columbus Day, as Indigenous Peoples Day and recommend appropriate exercises in schools to acknowledge the history of genocide and discrimination against Indigenous people. Rep. Christine Barber (D-Somerville) filed the same bill in the House. Both bills are tired up in committee and have yet to reach the House or Senate floor for debate and a vote. The measure met the same fate in the 2021-2022 and 2023-2024 Legislature. “Christopher Columbus did not discover the Americas,” said Comerford. “That long-perpetuated myth — rooted in racism and violence — credits a European man with ‘discovering’ a land alBEACON | SEE PAGE 17 ׉ 0s3://cXTEQUtimbzalxnEC8Vs88gXy40IKRe4mQxxoglfx0E,"`j9 Fpx׉E!iTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 16, 2026 Page 17 Updating Your Beneficiary Designations T he importance of initially establishing proper beneficiary designations (and then periodically updating them) with respect to retirement plans, IRA accounts, life insurance policies, annuity policies, etc., cannot be overemphasized. If you have an IRA account that you established prior to getting married and you never get around to changing the beneficiary designations after you get married, if you subsequently die, your spouse will receive nothing. The original primary beneficiary will take all. If the primary beneficiary dies prior to you, the contingent beneficiary will take all. A life changing event such as a marriage or a divorce should prompt you to review all of your beneficiary designations. If you have an ERISA compliant retirement plan at work, however, most likely your spouse will be the primary beneficiary of the retirement plan even if you don’t get around to updating the beneficiary designation by naming your spouse as the primary beneficiary. With an ERISA compliant retirement plan, a spouse must consent in writing for you to name someone else as the primary beneficiary. Beneficiary designation mishaps are more common than one might think. In fact, they occur quite frequently. In many cases, there are no named beneficiaries and the IRA/ retirement plan proceeds or life insurance proceeds end up being paid to the estate of the deceased person passing to the heirs at law based upon the Massachusetts intestacy statute, assuming there was no valid Last Will and Testament. The ultimate takers may include individuals that the deceased would never have BEACON | FROM PAGE 16 ready home to thriving societies, cultures, governments, language and economies. Our commonwealth is home to sovereign tribal nations and Indigenous communities whose knowledge, leadership, stewardship, art, scholarship and advocacy shape Massachusetts today. They have protected this land, preserved its stories and insisted that we confront a history that has too often been erased or sanitized.” Comerford continued, “We must listen to them. We must learn from them. And we must honor them. We cannot do that while continuing to honor Christopher Columbus.” This year, Columbus Day is on October 13 so any name change, if approved, would have to wait until 2027 to take effect. $403,500 TO PROMOTE SPEwished to leave anything to. The lesson to be learned here is to give careful thought to your initial beneficiary designation form when completing it and remember to revisit the form every few years or so in order to update it if necessary based upon a change in marital status, family members or any other circumstances that would warrant making a change. You can select a primary beneficiary and a secondary beneficiary. You can also attach an exhibit to the form to be more detailed about who gets what upon your death. For example, you can leave a life insurance policy death benefit to your three children with instructions to pay the children of a deceased child (i.e. your grandchildren) in equal shares. We often refer to this as “by right of representation” or “per stirpes”. Most of the time, people completing beneficiary forms will choose a primary beneficiary and a contingent beneficiary. People don’t realize that you can actually attach a supplemental schedule to the pre-printed form that allows you to tailor your beneficiary designation selection to your own estate planning objectives. You do not necessarily have to restrict yourself to the “four corners” of the pre-printed form. Joseph D. Cataldo is an estate planning/elder law attorney, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a masters degree in taxation. CIALTY CROPS – The Healey Administration announced grants of $403,500 to six Massachusetts agricultural organizations to promote specialty crops to help local farms and producers bring more fresh fruits, dried fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, horticulture and nursery crops, including floriculture, to market. The measure is designed to help these local farms reach new customers and grow their businesses across the state. “Specialty crops set Massachusetts apart and are essential to the state’s agricultural identity,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “These grants are aimed at helping our specialty crop producers compete in a crowded marketplace – by funding projects that improve quality, expand marketing and create new opportunities for local businesses.” “Specialty crops represent an enormous and essential part of our agricultural economy, and the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) is committed to providing the resources necessary to scale their production and increase marketplace visibility,” said MDAR Commissioner Ashley Randle. “Through this critical federal-state partnership, we are equipping our growers and commodity associations with the tools needed to drive consumer sales, strengthen supply chains and secure the long-term economic sustainability of Massachusetts agriculture.” CANNABIS CONTROL COMMISSION (CCC) CELEBRATES TEN YEARS OF ADULT USE OF CANNABIS – The CCC kicked off a multimedia initiative to mark ten years of adult-use cannabis in Massachusetts. The commission offers insights into how the industry has become an economic force with hundreds of businesses that employ tens of thousands and has generated nearly $2 billion in state and local tax revenue. The initiative will include a dedicated webpage featuring economic data and a video capturing the highlights of the industry over the last decade. The public will also be able to view initiative materials via the agency’s Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X pages. “After ten years, cannabis businesses are familiar, becoming part of everyday life in hundreds of communities across the state,” Commissioner Anthony Wilson said. “As a commissioner, I’m looking forward to shaping the next decade of the industry by working to improve and update our policies to support the growth of the industry and to protect health and safety, including the safety of workers in the industry and the safety of products available in the marketplace.” The initiative is launching just a few weeks before Bay State voters will vote on November 3 on a ballot question asking them if they favor repealing the law making recreational use of marijuana by adults legal. Some supporters of repealing the law say that the timing of the initiative is not coincidental and is designed to use state revenues, which fund the commission, to help defeat the ballot question.

The poll comes on the heels of Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell’s report detailing the fi ndings of her offi ce’s investigation into child sexual abuse in the Catholic Dioceses of Fall River, Springfi eld and Worcester. The investigation found evidence that more than 270 Catholic clerics abused nearly 1,000 children at the three dioceses. The House and Senate in July approved two diff erent versions of a primary care and health care affordability bill. The House version includes a provision that would eliminate the civil statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse. The Senate version does not include that provision. A House-Senate conference committee is working on hammering out a compromise version of the two bills. Under current law, eff ective for abuse that took place after June 26, 2014, survivors must sue within 35 years of the abuse, or within seven years of discovering that the abuse caused them psychological harm. However, the clock does not start ticking until the survivor turns 18. In practice, that caps most claims around age 53 and leaves survivors whose window has already closed with no path back into court. “We are grateful to Speaker Mariano for his leadership in support of healing for survivors and stopping future crimes, and we are gratifi ed to see such strong support among voters for getting this eff ort over the finish line,” said Jetta Bernier, executive director of Enough Abuse. “We urge Senate colleagues to stand with the House and keep these provisions in the fi nal bill.” INTEREST RATE ON UNPAID PROPERTY TAXES (H 3238) – The House in February gave initial ap- LEGAL NOTICE - Frederick Cafasso- Chairman COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS LAND COURT DEPARTMENT OF THE TRIAL COURT DOCKET NO. 26SM003240 ORDER OF NOTICE To: Gordon Scott and to all persons entitled to the benefit of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, 50 U.S.C. c. 50 §3901 (et seq): Wilmington Trust, National Association as trustee for Tryon Street Acquisition Trust I claiming to have an interest in a Mortgage covering real property in Everett, numbered 23 Fairlawn Street, given by Gordon Scott to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., as mortgagee, as nominee for Contour Mortgage Corporation, its successors and assigns, dated September 9, 2025, and recorded in Middlesex County (Southern District) Registry of Deeds in Book 84630, Page 363, and now held by the Plaintiff by assignment, has/have filed with this court a complaint for determination of Defendant’s/Defendants’ Servicemembers status.

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of October 5-9, the House met for a total of 21 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 23 minutes. MON. OCT. 5 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:07 a.m. Senate 11:19 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. TUES.
