HOT! HOT! Statewide Heat Advisory in effect to start the weekend as fi rst heat wave of summer arrives local residents asked to take heat safety precautions and keep watch over children, seniors and pets By Steve Freker T he fi rst offi cial heat wave of the summer arrived late Wednesday and is expected to continue through the start of the weekend today into Saturday. Temperatures were in the low 90s late Wednesday and on Thursday and are expected to remain in the 90s today to make three in a row – the fi rst heat wave of Summer 2023. Overall, it has been a relatively mild summer, temperature-wise, climbing to 90 degrees Fahrenheit or above just two days this summer. A major contributing factor to the lack of high temperatures this summer has been the proliferation of rainy days – 12 days in June and 12 days so far in July. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has issued a Heat A Advisory for nearly all of the state, including here in Eastern Mass. in Middlesex, Suff olk and Essex Counties, which includes the entire Advocate readership area of Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus. Temperatures approached 90 on both Wednesday and Thursday and were expected to be 90-92 today. The hot temperatures will be accompanied by oppressive humidity, resulting in stifl ing heat index values: over 100 degrees on Thursday and Friday. The National Weather Service also issued a Heat Advisory beginning late Wednesday through Saturday. The heat advisory is meant to put residents on alert about heat-related illnesses, like heat stroke and dehydration.

City offi cials in Everett and Saugus also urged residents to take precautions and keep a watch on children, the elderly and pets during the predicted heat wave. For the official heat wave designation, there needs to be three consecutive days of 90 degree, or higher, readings. Last summer, we hit 90 degrees or greater 21 times and had two heat waves: one in July (for seven days) and one in August (for six days). A heat advisory was in place for both Thursday and Friday, which means heat-related illnesses can occur more easily under these conditions. Make sure to stay hydrated, seek shade and air conditioning, and check up on family, friends and neighbors. Remember: Young kids and pets should never be left in vehicles. On Saturday, a cold front arrives at the surface from the Northwest, triggering more storms after high temperatures reach 90 degrees again for parts of southern New England. New air arrives behind the cold front on Sunday, which means lower humidity, lots of sunshine and noticeably cooler temperatures, around 80.

These and other related issues were illustrated this month when multiple respiratory illnesses sickened many of the close to 300 migrants being housed temporarily at the enVision Hotel on Revere Beach Parkway in Everett. According to online reports, the outbreak of illness shows how the limited, cramped quarters can aff ect those who have no other place to go, doctors and immigrant advocates have reported. According to reports, the outbreak at the enVision Hotel – located at 1835 Revere Beach Pkwy., right at the Everett-Chelsea city line – began the day after the July 4 holiday, when migrants at the hotel began to get sick. What was quickly identifi ed as a respiratory illness spread rapidly among the nearly 300 migrants. Representatives of a Chelsea organization, La Colaborativa, which is working as a support group for the migrants, said they enlisted clinicians from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston to come to the hotel and treat the sickened migrants directly. Although the outbreak quickly multiplied to several respiratory illnesses, with most of the children becoming ill, a representative of La Collaborativa said in an online report that none of those affl icted tested positive for tuberculosis – the most serious and potentially deadly respiratory illness – or COVID-19. Some of those sickened were diagnosed with severe cases of the fl u. Infectious which oversees the emergency shelter system. Over 4,300 families, including many not involved in the migrant infl ux, are being sheltered by the Commonwealth’s services.

An illness swept through the hotel earlier this month, and it was later identifi ed as multiple respiratory illnesses. (Courtesy Photo) disease experts are saying that the migrants are essentially “healthy people,” but the stress of the conditions before they crossed the border to the United States and the relocation process, upping the physical and mental stress, have added up to make them much more vulnerable to illness, according to online info. While New York City and other places around the country have declared a state of emergency related to the migrant infl ux, this has not been done in Massachusetts. According to reports, altogether well over 1,000 families of migrants have arrived in Massachusetts in just the past four to fi ve months, conservatively, over 3,000 in all. Many more are expected before the end of 2023 due to the expiration of a more restrictive immigration policy that was not renewed by the federal government. Nationwide, major population centers, including New York City, Chicago and Detroit, are being overwhelmed by numbers of migrants who need housing, food and other basic necessities. State offi cials are scrambling to add apartments and shelter space.

The scholarships are each valued at $9,400 (cumulatively over $28,000) and named for the father of Attorney Anthony Rossi, a graduate of MC’s Class of 1990 and Everett native. Antonio Rossi was born in Naples, Italy, in 1946 and at the age of 20 immigrated to Massachusetts, where he met his wife, Gina (Leo). They moved to Everett shortly after they married and raised two children. Antonio Rossi worked full time as a metal machinist and sent his two sons, Anthony ’90 and Terigi ’87, to St. Anthony’s School in Everett and then to MC. Anthony Rossi, an Everett native who started as an attorney in Everett almost 25 years ago, launched the inaugural scholarships in 2022 and commented, “My dad believed in Catholic education and worked hard every day to support our family and provide us with an outstanding education from both St. Anthony’s and MC. From my father, we learned how to focus, apply ourselves every day to our studies and the importance of giving back to the community. I hope my father’s legacy lives on through these scholarships and provides a new generation of hard-working Everett families the opportunity for a great education and a strong foundation for the future. My family’s goal is to continue to grow the Antonio Rossi Scholars program to four Everett students at MC each year, giving a life-changing opportunity to great students from Everett.” Lisbeth Monteagudo ’25 graduated from St. Anthony’s in Everett and is a high-honors sophomore at MC with a 90 average or above in all classes during her fi rst two years at MC. David Beauvoir ’26 is an honor roll student at MC, and Jordan Demetrio ’27 is a high-honors student from St. Anthony’s in Everett and will For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net be a freshman at MC in September. Malden Catholic CFO Sean Hurley said, “We cannot thank Mr. and Mrs. Rossi enough for their commitment to Malden Catholic and inspirational decision to assist families in Everett. Mr. Rossi has been an incredible benefactor of our school and we thank him for using his success to help hard-working families from his hometown. Lisbeth and David have been great students at MC, and we know that Jordan, Lisbeth and David will benefi t from the exceptional programming and academic rigor of MC.” Jordan Demetrio ’27, Lisbeth Monteagudo ’25, and David Beauvoir ’26 ׉ 7cassandra://_nWvba5grXAUPM4L4mosSV1QG3yrVUNTpjUYA4ssK9M,`̰d.Fז0?H5d.Fז0?H5 PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://jVI07tt8r-BP4EEVCclwVcG2Vhv9Km6MgX60WVkbRRA `)׉ 7cassandra://P5T9JXznBynFzIicqzwk_Riw9Jps-N8JJQSOlKs_6Nk͡`J׉ 7cassandra://jKvysIoyEAlzY1fTToVDz9fOqqfuDwu2e9OgnPaeE4A-F`̰׉ 7cassandra://3eN0ZdZld1guUUqx9Up_M1OopoA00IpY1U8OjkkjgYgH͠d1Fז0?H5ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://gEMVyJX__LIRC4lLUwaofji-jn47m6Xgu_dz9IazAY8Ix`)׉ 7cassandra://1AXBbpCow1HRkMD1-KapL4n3k54JbvyYyIueIq8SfYM͟:`J׉ 7cassandra://TvoLYvNzhQ3ybrxnMRuxki-Qynrh3YCRPewfaWfuZAg-`̰׉ 7cassandra://ItmOZBN8RXXVjyWr1cALJRxJ7MC5AVUdjcFOiwHPPT8_\͠d1Fז0?H5נd1Fז0?H5ā 9ׁHhttp://www.advocatenews.netׁ ׁ Јנd1Fז0?H5Á9ׁHhttp://www.roller-world.comׁ ׁ Јנd1Fז0?H5`9ׁHmailto:Info@advocatenews.netׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 28, 2023 Everett resident graduates from William James College yler Brathwaite of Everett has successfully graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Human Services as a member of William James College’s class of 2023.

They were now in the Sweet 16, an enviable position that hundreds of teams in the state strive for every summer. This part of the tournament is divided into four sections, and the Everett boys were in Section 3 against the likes of Canton (District 11), Parkway (District 10A) and Wellesley (District 10B). Parkway, located in West Roxbury, was the host team. Unfortunately, the local nine didn’t fare that well, losing to Parkway (12-2, 5 innings), Wellesley (4-0) and Canton (12-2). Canton ended up defeating Parkway, 12-7 in the championship game to move on to the state fi nals in Oxford this weekend. “For our kids, it was an amazing experience,” said the Everett manager. “They were able S LANDSCAPE & MASONRY CO.

We made sure every player was able to get into these tournament games. “There are currently 170 kids in the league, and our goal is to get more involved to keep the interest in baseball growing in the city,” added Young. “For me coaching these kids the last four years in tournaments has been a special time for me. They have improved so much in the last four years, and with coaches Freni and Savi also pushing them we showed them that they can win the district title. It has been a blast coaching with these two guys. It had become just a part of our everyday lives. These kids certainly made this the best summer of our coaching lives.” Young admits Everett has always been a football town, but this summer might have evened the playing field in terms of future participation. The three state sectional games didn’t show how close they could have been, according to Young. “In the opener against Parkway, we gave them seven outs in the fi rst two innings, and as a result they scored 10 runs,” he added. Against Wellesley, Everett loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning, but then couldn’t put the ball in play to get at least a run home during that threat. Nick Young kept the Wellesley batters off balance, but they got around that by implementing small ball tactics like bunts and scoring runs the hard way. In the final game against Canton, the eventual sectional champs scored fi ve times in the fi rst inning aided by two Everett errors. Colin Rogers pitched well for two innings, and was credited with three hits. Troy Coke, Nick Savi and Wood also contributed to the off ense. Mateus Bueno played good defense throughout the entire tournament. But Young said to get this far in this prestigious tournament could not have been possible without the support of the parents, volunteers and fans. that they won’t forget anytime soon, and hopefully it’s a springboard for more tournament success throughout the foreseeable future.

Local performer returns home as part of Veterans Benefi t Concert Series N ot every kid in town who falls in love with music will be successful or even advance to the level of being able to pursue it as a passion. One Saugus High School grad had that great fortune. John Antonopoulos, a 1970 SHS Graduate, who is more commonly referred to around the world as Johnny A., did and continues to do so, 50 years later! Over the course of his career, Johnny has performed as both a solo artist and a member of other bands. Some notable bands he has been a member of were the Peter Wolf Band (J. Geils frontman) and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band The Yardbirds. The name “Johnny A.” might not be mainstream, but there’s no doubt it’s synonymous with guitar. Bitten at an early age by the desire to perform like his idols (Clapton, Beck and Page), he never relented. A devotee of the 1960s British Invasion, it gave him a goal. By the 1970s, he was performing throughout the New England area, drawing attention from established musicians, like Derek & The Dominos’ keyboardist Bobby Whitlock and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Doug Cliff ord. All this is to say that Johnny A. has the chops, and that’s not to mention his prolifi c solo career. Spanning three fulllength albums, Johnny A. has earned a Grammy Award nomination, the honor of Boston Music Awards, “Blues Artist of the Year 2010,” and a spot in the revered Boston Music Hall of Fame. With all this said, it will be like old-home week, as Johny A. takes the stage with special guest Myke Scavone, of The Yardbirds, joining.

Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham) filed and gained approval for several amendments in the Senate budget. “I secured these amendments to further bolster the demonstrated commitment to our shared values built into the base budget that came to the fl oor,” said Rausch. “Whether in health care, education or otherwise, my amendments advance justice, fairness and equity.” Here are three of her amendments: $300,000 FOR WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE CELEBRATION IN BAY STATE (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved $300,000 to fund the Women’s Suff rage Celebration. Amendment supporters say the celebration will honor the history of women’s activism and contributions to civics and democracy in Massachusetts. They note the funds will help create the Massachusetts Women’s History Center and Massachusetts Women’s Hall of Fame -- inspiring generations of women and girls to pursue their passions and paths forward. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes $350,000 FOR MATERNAL MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY REVIEW COMMITTEE (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment funding $350,000 for the operation of and hiring of additional personnel for the Massachusetts Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee to enhance the committee’s ability to comprehensively review deaths and complications that occur during or within one year of pregnancy. Amendment supporters say that maternal morbidity and mortality remain serious issues in Massachusetts and note that signifi - cant inequities in maternal health persist. They argue that one of the best tools to improve maternal health outcomes is to strengthen and empower the committee and make advances in eff orts to improve pregnancy care access, quality, outcomes and equity. - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Division Docket No. MI23P3698EA Estate of: JOHN S.

Sal DiDomenico Yes $150,000 FOR HOPE AND COMFORT TO ADDRESS HYGIENE INSECURITY (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved $150,000 to fund Hope and Comfort – the state’s largest organization that addresses hygiene insecurity by providing low-income people with soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant and other personal hygiene items. Amendment supporters say that last year, Hope and Comfort provided people with more than 2 million hygiene products. They note that this is still not enough, especially because these basic hygiene items are not covered by government support programs like SNAP or WIC. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL The Education Committee held a hearing on several bills including: FARM TO SCHOOL GRANT PROGRAM (S 243/H 558) - Would establish a grant program for eligible public schools and licensed childcare programs to purchase ingredients grown and produced on Massachusetts farms, prepare scratch-cooked meals and educate students about the food system. “Offering fresh local-grown food in Massachusetts schools benefi ts children and their families who learn more about healthy food choices,” wrote co-sponsors Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton) and Rep. Smitty Pignatelli (D-Lenox) in testimony to the committee. “These programs will Page 17 encourage increased consumption of fruits and vegetables. Particularly for families struggling to aff ord fresh food, the Farm to School grants can expand the availability of nourishing meals for vulnerable students. The grant program will also yield economic benefi ts to the agricultural sector, increasing demand for locally produced products and strengthening our farm communities”. SUNSCREEN LOTION (S 258) – Would allow any person, including students, parents and school personnel to possess and use a topical sunscreen product without a physician’s note or prescription while on school property or at a school-related event or activity to avoid overexposure to the sun. The product must be one that is regulated by the Federal Food and Drug Administration for over-thecounter use. “Routine application of sunscreen is essential to promoting health and reducing the risk of melanoma, the most commonly diagnosed cancer in children,” said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “I fi led [the bill] to ensure students have the ability to use sunscreen during the school day without a physician’s prescription.” AIR TEMPERATURES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS (S 322) - Would create a 15-member special commission to study the regulation of minimum and maximum allowable air temperatures in public school classrooms and facilities. The commission would gather any relevant statistics on the number of air-conditioned public schools in Massachusetts; the impact of indoor air quality on children, including children with respiratory conditions or special needs; and the state’s funding and bidding processes for installing air conditioning and heating upgrades in public schools. “This bill was fi led after several constituents in the educational fi eld brought this issue to our attention,” said sponsor Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth). “In particular, the very beginning and very end of each school year is frequently accompanied by stifl ing classrooms, while the winter months can see frigid temperatures. Not only do these extreme temperatures create a distraction for both teachers and students, but this study aims to look at the potential health impacts that could result from failing to address this issue. This study will give the Legislature a complete picture of this topic and allow for more eff ective future policy.” UNIVERSAL SCHOOL MEALS (S 261) – Would indefi nitely provide free breakfast and lunch to every child in a Massachusetts K-12 school. Supporters noted that schools across the state provided Universal School Meals during the pandemic because the costs for this program were temporarily funded by the federal government. They said that in 2022, however, federal support for the program was cut off , but funding was secured in last year’s state budget to continue funding free school meals. They noted the bill would continue the program indefi nitely without having to reauthorize it each year. “We have heard time and again from educators, advocates and parents, that kids cannot learn when they are hungry,” said sponsor Sen.

Charles worked for and retired from the Malden Housing BEACON | FROM PAGE 17 ett). “Providing free breakfast and lunch in schools will empower all our students to study, focus and live up to their full potential. It is past time, in the year 2023, that we finally pass my commonsense bill into law and ensure no child will ever go hungry in a Massachusetts school again.” MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN SCHOOLS (H 494) – Would require each public school district to appoint one or more full time school psychologists and one or more full time school social workers to provide mental health services to all students in grades K-12. “Coming out of the pandemic, it is clear that our students need greater mental health resources,” said sponsor Rep. Brian Hamilton (D-Methuen). “Ensuring all students, regardless of their zip code or background, can access a mental health professional through school is critical to the health and well-being of our youth,” “By prioritizing access to care now, we can help foster positive socio-emotional skills and psychological development before students enter the workforce and adulthood.” REQUIRE FOOD ALLERGY PLAN IN SCHOOLS (S 250) – Would require every school district that enrolls a student with a life-threatening food allergy to develop and implement a Food Allergy Management and Prevention Plan. The plan would include food allergy safety and training, including epinephrine administration protocols; identifying students with known food allergies; and developing strategies for reducing exposure to allergens and treating allergic reactions.. Current law does not require, but rather recommends, that schools establish these programs. “With diagnoses on the rise, it is increasingly important to ensure that schools are ready to provide safe learning environments for children with food allergies,” said sponsor Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “This bill would help ensure that Massachusetts kids are safe from allergens at school, both in the classroom and in the OBITUARIES Authority.

We’re grateful to our philanthropic and private partners for quickly answering the call to action and creating this fund to deliver relief directly to farmers. This is about Team Massachusetts – where we come together to support farmers and their livelihoods, build resilience for our farms and food supply, strengthen our economy and create a stronger future for our children and families.” ---Gov. Maura Healey unveiling the Massachusetts Farm Resiliency Fund, a partnership between philanthropic organizations and private foundations intended to support farms impacted by recent flooding. “Taxpayer advocates have a true champion in [New Hampshire] Gov. Chris Sununu. He showed other aspiring elected officials what it looks like to be a successful fiscal conservative in New England. Gov. Sununu laid out the blueprint for how a Republican can get elected in New England while both staying true to their fiscally conservative principles and bringing success to likeminded, down ballot lawmakers.” ---Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance on Sununu’s announcement that he will not seek re-election. “This [proposed] law is a winwin for Massachusetts, saving residents and businesses money while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the risk of toxic mercury exposure and contamination.” ---Rep.

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 July 17-21, the House met for a total of 25 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 13 minutes. Mon.July 17 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. Senate 11:13 a.m. to 11:17 a.m. Tues.
