Three of the homes will be moderate-income households for residents earning up to 80 percent of the area median income. The other three homes will be middle-income households for residents earning up to 120 percent of the area median income. “Aff ordable homeownership is such an important goal of mine. I am confi dent that we will be able to increase aff ordable housing in Everett,” said DeMaria. “The construction of affordable housing remains paramount to ensure that our residents have a place to call home.

DiDomenico and Rouse, alongside Massachusetts Congresswomen Katherine Clark, Ayanna Pressley and Lori Trahan, toured Nurtury Early Education in Cambridge, New England’s fi rst early education and care agency, to spotlight the nation’s “care infrastructure” and its fragility – a fact which has been brought into sharper focus during the pandemic. Like many early education providers across the nation, Nurtury was hit hard by the pandemic and has remained understaffed and unable to meet its licensed capacity despite high demand. This is largely because many childcare workers were unable to fi nd care for their own children during the COVID-19 crisis. Consequently, a lack of available childcare services and providers prevented many parents from being able to get back to work. “Education, and more specifically early education, has been a top priority of mine since I was fi rst elected back in 2011,” said 91ST ANNUAL Grande Festa in Honor of San Rocco August 6th, 7th, & 8th, 2021 Feast hours: Friday 6:30-11pm; Saturday 6-11pm; Sunday 1-9pm Pearl and Thacher Streets.

Located on T Route: Malden Center - Orange Line State Senator Sal DiDomenico recently participated in a roundtable with members of the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts. (Courtesy Photo) DiDomenico following the tour. “Therefore, it was sadly no surprise to hear that childcare centers like Nurtury are unable to fi ll classrooms, since they cannot fi nd staff who either can afford to work in the childcare industry or can fi nd care for their own kids. This pandemic has hit our childcare industry hard but has also revealed how critical this industry is to our economy. I do hope that this crisis has showed all Americans just how important it is that we invest in early education and care at both the state and federal levels.” DiDomenico’s visit was in support of an infusion of public funds for early childcare and education services through Biden’s $1.8 trillion American Families Plan. The plan would create universal pre-Kindergarten for all children ages three and four and help to make the childcare industry more aff ordable for all families. The provision would also establish rules preventing childcare costs for low- and middle-income families from exceeding seven percent of their income. Additionally, the plan would create a national comprehensive paid family and medical leave program as well as extend the Child Tax Credit increases that were included in the national COVID-19 recovery package signed into law by the president in March.

DiDomenico hosts anti-hair discrimination legislative briefi ng S tate Senator Sal DiDomenico recently joined the national CROWN Coalition in hosting a legislative briefi ng on hair discrimination and the Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair (CROWN) Act. The Crown Coalition is an alliance of organizations dedicated to advocating for new state laws – known as the CROWN Act – that provide protection from racebased hair discrimination. In the Massachusetts Senate, DiDomenico is the lead sponsor of S.994, An Act prohibiting discrimination based on natural hairstyles, which would prohibit race-based hair discrimination, including the denial of employment and educational opportunities because of hair textures or protective hairstyles. DiDomenico hosted this anti-hair discrimination briefi ng alongside his State House partners, Senator Adam Gómez and Representatives Chynah Tyler and Steven Ultrino. Together, these legislators are sponsoring and advocating for the CROWN Act to be passed here in Massachusetts. Currently in Massachusetts and 36 states across the country, it is legal to discriminate moderated by the National Lead Strategist for the CROWN Coalition, Adjoa B. Asamoah. Other speakers at the event included Boston City Councillor Lydia Edwards; Mya and Deanna Cook of Malden, who fought back against hair discrimination at their school in 2017; Janicka Ellis, the owner of Castle Hair Studio in Roxbury; and Bitiah Carter, the President/CEO of New England Blacks in Philanthropy. During the event, DiDomeniSal DiDomenico State Senator against a person in the workplace or schools because of natural or protective hairstyles. Hair discrimination remains a source of racial injustice with economic consequences for Black people. According to a 2019 study, Black women are 1.5 times more likely to be sent home from the workplace because of their hair. The CROWN Act corrects these racial injustices by making hair discrimination illegal. The legislative briefi ng included a multitude of speakers detailing their own personal experiences and involvement in the fi ght against race-based hair discrimination. The briefi ng was co emphasized that the existing anti-discrimination laws in Massachusetts fail to protect employees and students who wear their hair in natural or protective hairstyles from discrimination. For this reason, he stressed that it is crucial for the CROWN Act and any supporting bills to become law. “We need to play our part in ensuring that adults and children throughout the Commonwealth, like Mya and Deanna, are protected from hair discrimination that targets hairstyles associated with race,” he said. “While this bill would fi nally help provide protection from race-based hair discrimination, there is still plenty of work that needs to be done. However, I am hopeful that we can continue working together to make these changes a reality in the near future.” According to the The CROWN Act website, the Act was fi rst created in 2019 in California “to ensure protection against discrimination based on race-based hairstyles by extending statutoDIDOMENICO | SEE PAGE 21 ry protection to hair texture and protective styles such as braids, locs, twists, and knots in the workplace and public schools ….

Vogler V ietnam War veteran Dennis J. Moschella says he’s been to “The Wall” in Washington, D.C., at least fi ve times and says it’s a trip that more of his fellow Vietnam vets could get to experience. “It’s unbelievable to see all of those names – 58,000 men and women from my generation – mostly teenagers and people in their early 20s who lost their lives in the War,” Moschella recalls of his visits to the Vietnam War Memorial. “I was just in awe the first time I saw it. It’s really quiet. And it’s kind of surreal, knowing I served in the same area – in the same part of the world as all of these people,” he said. “Did you ever look at the names of people on a monument and wonder what these people were or could be? Somebody’s son or daughter, brother or sister, husband or wife … Whenever I go to D.C., I always go to the wall.” Moschella, a longtime Saugus resident, and his group – Veterans Assisting Veterans (VAV) – have organized a special benefit concert for next month to help send 10 needy Vietnam Veterans who have never seen “The Wall” on a weekend trip to Washington, D.C., in September to live that experience. VAV and Rockin 4 Vets are sponsoring Classic Rock Experience Benefi t Concert, featuring John Caff erty and the Beaver Brown Band, at Kowloon on Saturday, Aug. 14. The gate opens at 1 p.m. – with a 2 p.m. show in the parking lot of the Kowloon at 948 Broadway (Route 1 North) in Saugus. It costs $35 a ticket. The rain date is set for Sunday, Aug. 15. Full bar and food service will be available. For ticket information, go to Tickets@GIMMELIVE. COM/CLASSICROCK.

We’re sending 10 Vietnam veterans who have never been to the wall and we’re paying for all of their expenses,” he said. Ten members of the nonprofi t group VAV will be going on the Sept. 17-19 trip, but will be paying their own expenses there. The needy Vietnam veterans were supposed to go last year, but the trip was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’re estimating it will cost $1,200 to $1,500 per person for these guys to go down there,” Moschella said. “We’re paying for the train, the hotel and the meals. We have to supply food on the train; it’s a seven hour drive. When we go there at night, there’s going to be a reception. And Saturday night, there will be dinner and Sunday morning we will head back to Boston,” he said. In addition to helping to raise enough money to send the 10 veterans to Washington, D.C., Moschella is organizing a plan to have veterans enjoy the upcoming concert. He has been reaching out to area businesses to buy tickets that can be distributed to veterans throughout the area. “We hope to have enough tickets bought by companies to take some tickets to the Soldiers’ Home in Chelsea,” Moschella said. “Whatever tickets we can’t give away at the Soldiers’ Home, we’ll fi nd a needy veteran in Saugus, Everett, Malden and Revere or wherever. Whatever tickets are donated, we’re going to give away,” he said. “If people don’t want to go to the concert, they can buy a ticket for a veteran. That’s a good way to honor a vet.” Praising those who stepped up to help Moschella is familiar with John Caff erty and the Beaver Brown Band. “John puts on a great show,” he said. “I booked John a couple of years ago in Lowell and his band put on a BUY A TICKET FOR A VET: In addition to helping 10 needy Vietnam War veterans to go to Washington, D.C., to see “The Wall” that honors more than 58,000 veterans killed in the Vietnam War, Vietnam War veteran Dennis Moschella is encouraging area businesses to buy tickets that can be distributed to area veterans who might enjoy the Aug. 14 concert at Kowloon.

People won’t have to drive into Boston to see the concert. And if they don’t want to go to the concert, buy a ticket for a veteran to go and enjoy the show.” Moschella credited several people with stepping up on short notice to help make the concert a reality. Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria donated a portable stage for use at one of two possible venues in Saugus. “Originally, we were going to do the concert at Floor & Decor in Saugus. But, because of the tax free weekend coming up, we couldn’t do it because there would be no room with people coming in to buy stuff , Moschella said. “Then we were going to do it at Harley-Davidson (in Revere) and ran into some logistical problems,” he said. “And then I called Bobby GIVE VIETNAM | SEE PAGE 21 ׉ 7cassandra://qYkgaZbP8DkRA2mrUSxbDHSFV9NOH_m4pQthqHmv56Y/F`̰a rKE׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 2021 Page 9 Planning Board gives final approval for Urban Renewal amendment By Christopher Roberson he Planning Board, during its August 2 meeting, voted unanimously to approve the second amendment to the Lower Broadway District Urban Renewal Plan (URP). The amendment initially consisted of defining four parcels that could be taken by eminent domain and redeveloped. They included 39 Rover St., 23 Mystic St., 36 Mystic St. and 39-43 Mystic St. However, Matthew Lattanzi, acting director of Planning & Development, said there was considerable opposition from the property owners, which prompted the City Council to take action to protect three of the parcels from eminent domain. Planning Board Member T Leo Pizzano said he has never been a proponent of taking someone’s property. “Eminent domain is not a good thing, I really don’t like it,” he said. Therefore, the 40-acre parcel at 39 Rover St. is now the only property in the URP that can be taken by eminent domain. The land is the current site of the Mystic Generating Station, which is slated to be decommissioned in June 2024. Pending approval from the state, the amendment would remain in effect until the URP expires in 2035. The URP was originally approved in September 2015 by the state Department of Housing and Community Development. The first amendment, made in January 2019, was fairly modest, as it only called for the construction of a public parking lot. However, the Everett Redevelopment Authority recently identified the need for a “major change.” During a prior interview, Lattanzi said the second amendment would transform Lower Broadway into a “Destination District” and ensure that all future development is in full compliance with the current zoning regulations. He said that in addition to bolstering the city’s tax revenue, the Rover Street property would provide further access to the city’s waterfront. “When crossing the bridge from Boston into Mayor promotes transportation initiatives at Ward 6 meeting By Christopher Roberson W hile speaking to residents of Ward 6, Mayor Carlo DeMaria drove home the importance of having a sufficient transportation network in Everett. “We’re the only inner core community that’s not connected by rail access,” he said during the August 4 meeting at The Meadows park. “That’s what is holding us back.” DeMaria said a Commuter Rail station and Silver Line bus service would make the city much more attractive to companies in the fields of biotechnology, life sciences and pharmaceutical manufacturing. “No one is a small, little sleepy town anymore,” he said. Transportation Planner Jay Monty said the Silver Line, which currently ends in Chelsea, would travel north on Second Street and into Everett Square. “We’re probably three to four years out,” he said, adding that the proposed extension is in the feasibility stage. DeMaria also said Everett was the first city in the state to create a bus lane. As bus lanes were adopted by other communities, he said, they were all shaded with Everett’s signature colEverett, this site is one of the first things that comes into view,” said Lattanzi. “No longer does Everett wish to welcome visitors and residents alike with a blighted power plant; rather, the city wishes to boast a Destination District that we can take pride in.” Looking back, Lattanzi said the opening of Encore Boston Harbor continues to be the leading accomplishment since the URP took effect six years ago. “The 2015 URP vastly improved Lower Broadway, transforming it from a blighted streetscape to a much more vibrant, walkable streetscape,” said Lattanzi, adding that $68 million was invested to decontaminate the former Staging Yard parcel where Encore is now located. He said the URP also called for converting the former GE site into what is now Rivergreen Park. Other improvements have included the construction of a canoe/kayak launch on the Malden River and the Mystic Riverwalk. Lawrence A.

DeMaria said other transportation projects include the $25 million Mystic River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge as well as the completion of the Northern Strand Community Trail. “Nobody wants to live in Billerica to go to work in Boston; they want to live here,” he said. DeMaria also addressed the debate surrounding the possible relocation of Everett Veterans Memorial Stadium. “It was built in a neighborhood where there’s no parking,” he said, adding that two years ago, 80 cars were towed from the stadium. Should the stadium be relocated, DeMaria said, the land could be repurposed for affordable housing. Resident Samantha Lambert said parking has become an even greater challenge with the ongoing road construction. “Parking is already tight; oftentimes I find myself parked two blocks from home,” she said. Lambert also said construction vehicles are being left overnight on Woodville Street. However, DeMaria said no equipment larger than four wheels can be parked overnight. “We’ll address that,” he said. ׉ 7cassandra://VHANYvviz71PR1L2wUUrQKcjt8tCAGPRDum3I4WQHlE+ `̰a rKFa rKE PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://G3mE_fRAD5ckzes2MC58qO-rK8KtXp0SyVxdDXO3ZHs`)׉ 7cassandra://dN4I97MAn_w9nYepgan4DIf5tpcV3o5YMnlq4Dmh-9A͙n`J׉ 7cassandra://cxwe-ab2iFXh5EEaso7_KevqfIY878uFdiDQv-RNiKY/`̰׉ 7cassandra://JtXfdRIFTvxl3fPjFjQ3n9IKquofvW0xa6itZVNje1Ḯ͠a rKwט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://Qzs8qIiig0iQRf4oDOAkumKKn7YqisQax6NZEg4gCHQ(`)׉ 7cassandra://iMwDsyAbWap5b33dYUGaZQ3euTT5x4qQ2siqaUYX3FEͥ`J׉ 7cassandra://h4syo5VsG0m8ZIRDGXBg00NtR73QeoBob7mNY7QDO4U5g`̰׉ 7cassandra://1b7S0P59xB2R9C8AhItZuHA24shS5Qo7JsTUZJCG95M^6͠a rKx׉E{Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 2021 Annual Kiwanis Club Golf Tournament funds scholarships By Tara Vocino T he Everett Kiwanis Club held their Annual Frank Woodward Golf Tournament last Friday morning at Mount Hood Golf Course.

"The pandemic has further proven that overall health and well-being is inextricably tied to housing and other nonmedical factors,” said Manny Lopes, CEO of the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center. “We’re thrilled to be one step impact as we seek to connect more families with homeownership opportunities,” he said. “By making these investments, we can accelerate an equitable recovery, support those who were hardest hit by the pandemic and create real and lasting change in communities across Massachusetts.” Within the $1 billion figure, Baker said, half of that money would be used to bolster the state’s housing stock and CommonWealth Builder. The other $500 million would be used to build more affordable rental units.

With affordable housing and high-quality healthcare under the same roof, East Boston Neighborhood Health Center looks forward to maximizing impact on older adults in the community for decades to come.” The project is being funded by a $250,000 Housing Choice grant, a $410,000 contribution from the City of Everett through the North Suburban Consortium and a $900,000 contribution from the state’s CommonWealth Builder Program. Launched two years ago by the Baker-Polito Administration and MassHousing, the CommonWealth Builder Program is a $60 million effort designed to “create homeownership opportunities and build generational wealth in communities of color.” Baker also spoke about his plan to take $1 billion from the American Rescue Plan Act and invest it in CommonWealth Builder and other housing opportunities. “Our proposal to invest $1 billion in housing priorities would enable the CommonWealth Builder Program to have an even greater Michael Kennealy, secretary of Housing and Economic Development, said Baker’s investment proposal is a “once in a generation opportunity.” “Our housing crisis demands a strategy that will result in more housing of all types across the Commonwealth,” he said. “Thanks to MassHousing for implementing the CommonWealth Builder program, we can target homeownership opportunities to families that have historically faced barriers to purchasing homes and the chance to build the wealth that comes along with it.” Daniel Rivera, president and CEO of MassDevelopment, said he has watched a number of friends move to New Hampshire to escape the housing crisis in Massachusetts. “The state’s shortage of housing supply was a growing concern before COVID-19, but we saw the impacts of this issue exacerbated by the pandemic – particularly for our most vulnerable residents,” he said. “That’s why projects like this one will provide homes for more than 80 families and seniors. MassDevelopment was proud to deliver a $9.1 million tax-exempt bond to help The Neighborhood Developers East Boston Neighborhood Health Center CEO Manny Lopes create affordable rental units here at St. Therese and we will continue to be a resource for building and preserving housing in the communities that need it most.” State Senator Sal DiDomenico agreed that residents are routinely priced out of the housing market. “We’re one of the richest states in the entire country and we need more housing,” he said. “This is a lifeline for so many people in this community.” State Representative Joseph McGonagle said he has already been fielding calls from seniors expressing their excitement for the project. “This residential facility is going to be fantastic for Everett,” he said. “I am grateful that we can redevelop the St. Therese site as a community residence to keep the people of Everett in Everett.” Massachusetts Housing and Economic Development Secretary Michael Kennealy State Senator Sal DiDomenico On August 2, Governor Charlie Baker toured the site of the future St. Therese Senior Building and Townhouses, saying the project is a step in the right direction to end the state’s housing crisis.

Science teacher Courtland Ferreria-Douglas, who is leading the program, said the crux of the internship is teaching students how to use engineering to solve problems that one might encounter in the garden. As an example, Ferreria-Douglas said, some of his students are working to create a device that will automatically water house plants. He also said gardening seemed appropriate as food insecurity continues to be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. F “I like the topic that we’re doing,” said Ferreria-Douglas, adding that such a class is not always possible during the school year. “It can be very difficult to put engineering into a curriculum.” In addition, students have been using programs such as Fusion 360 and Tinkercad to design three-dimensional objects. They have also been learning about circuits using Arduino kits and about coding using Sphero programming. Ferreria-Douglas said some of this year’s guest speakers include Eric McGill, senior technology manager at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, Devona Stevenson, founder of Melanated Organics, and representatives from RightHand Robotics in Somerville and Boston Dynamics in Waltham. Ferreria-Douglas said there are plans to visit Everett Community Growers and MassRobotics in Boston. “We have some of the best tech companies here,” he said. During the internship, students meet from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday with the program scheduled to end on September 3. Ferreria-Douglas said that after completing the program, students could pursue careers in mechanical, chemical or biological engineering, adding that those sectors have experienced significant growth in recent years. The internship was made available through a partnership with the Boston Design Academy and is sponsored by the Timothy Smith Network in Roxbury.

The deduction was in effect only for one year after its passage in 2000 and its implementation has been delayed by the Legislature since that time. Gov. Baker is against the delay. “This deduction was approved by voters 20 years ago and slated to go into effect when state finances allow and the combination of strong state revenues and serious needs facing nonprofits and charitable organizations necessitates this tax deduction’s going into place,” said Baker. “While it is true that our fiscal situation has recently improved, we are not out of the woods yet, and the charitable deduction as currently designed may not be the best use of our resources going forward,” said Senate Ways and Means Committee Chair Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport). “There are few things that Massachusetts Democrats love more than spending other people’s money and flouting the will of the taxpaying voter,” said Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Lyons. “Their actions not only hurt Massachusetts taxpayers, but also the local charities that stood over the years to receive their donations. More than two decades ago, voters approved charitable tax deductions, but the Democrats will use any maneuver they can to nullify the outcome of that vote.” “[The delay] will allow us to debate permanent changes to the tax code not solely based on current revenues, but considering its longterm impact on taxpayers, charitable organizations and tax collection,” House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) said. (A “Yes” vote is for the delay. A “No” vote is against the delay.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes EARLY RELEASE OF PRISONERS (H 4002) House 132-27, Senate 37-3, overrode Gov. Baker’s veto of a section that authorizes the commissioner of corrections, if it can be done safely, to release, transition to home confinement or furlough prisoners with prioritization given to populations most vulnerable to serious medical outcomes from COVID-19. The section also maximizes the awarding of “good time” by eliminating mandates for participation in programming for those close to their release dates and awarding credits toward reduced sentences for time served during the pandemic. Another provision authorizes the Disability Law Center to monitor the continuity of care for Bridgewater state hospital patients who are discharged to county correctional facilities or department of mental health facilities. In his veto message, the governor said that he struck the section because it is not consistent with his original budget proposal. Override supporters said the veto would eliminate important measures to ensure the state’s correctional facilities remain safe and healthy environments for all prisoners and staff. (A “Yes” vote is for the section authorizing the release and furlough of prisoners and allowing the Disability Law Center to monitor the care of prisoners transferred from Bridgewater. “A “No” vote is against the section.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes $150,000 FOR ANALYSIS ON IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON CHILDREN (H 4002) House 147-12, Senate 38-2, overrode Gov. Baker’s veto of $150,000 to fund an analysis of and report on the existing and anticipated future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on children’s behavioral health. The analysis and report would be done by the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the Children’s Mental Health Campaign. In his veto message, the governor said, “I am vetoing this section because the Behavioral Health Roadmap which is the product of a multi-stakeholder process is the most comprehensive approach to identifying behavioral health needs and implementing services to provide the most effective care for all Massachusetts residents, including children.” The roadmap was developed and released by the Baker administration a few months ago. Override supporters said this $150,000 analysis will help children whose mental health suffered as a result of the pandemic and hopefully prevent these problems in any future pandemic. (A “Yes” vote is for the $150,000 and the analysis. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes $1 MILLION FOR POLICE TRAINING (H 4002) House 159-0, Senate 40-0, overrode the governor’s veto of $1 million (from $4,577,545 to $3,577,545) in funding to help cities and towns pay for officer training requirements that were mandated by the 2020 law making changes in the state’s policing system. In his veto message, the governor said that he reduced the funding by $1 million to provide the amount of funding that is consistent with his original budget proposal. Override supporters said it is important for the state to fund police training that it essentially mandated in the recent law changing the policing system in the state. (A “Yes” vote is for the $1 million). Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes REPEAL THE HARBOR TAX CREDIT AND MEDICAL DEVICE TAX CREDIT (H 4008) Senate 3-36, House on a voice vote without a roll call, voted to repeal the current medical device tax and the harbor maintenance tax credit. Gov. Baker had supported retaining both tax credits saying they encourage innovation and economic activity in the Bay State. “The medical device tax credit is an expenditure available to medical device companies for 100 percent of the user fees paid to submit certain applications and supplements to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for devices developed in Massachusetts,” said Baker. “The harbor maintenance credit … made available to shippers, importers and exporters, is a dollar-for-dollar credit against the corporate excise for harbor maintenance taxes paid to the federal government. Its purpose is to promote the use of Massachusetts harbors.” Supporters of repealing the tax credits said the Tax Expenditure Review Commission’s recent report made clear these two tax credits do not provide meaningful benefit to the state and its residents. They noted that no other states offer these credits which are mostly used by large, profitable companies. (A “Yes” vote is to abolish the two tax credits. A “No” vote is to retain them.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No 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 26-30, the House met for a total of 14 hours and 41 minutes while the Senate met for a total of four hours and 50 minutes. Mon.

This funding will be used to help the residents of Everett with costs such as rent, mortgage and/or utility payments. “The Emergency Food and Shelter Program has provided support to our community over the years, and I am grateful that we were approved for this year’s funding,” said DeMaria. “The pandemic has impacted our residents in countless ways and this funding will help provide relief to our community.” EFSP is a federally funded program administrated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE NOTEBOOK: Fall season is just around the corner for local teams A couple of big losses for the GBL as a pair of former Mustangs have left us: Ray Buckland and 'Buddy' Kelley By Steve Freker F all season is the longest by the calendar, and for fall student-athletes, it is also the longest wait of the year for preseason, as they are in high anticipation. Football and soccer are the two sports which draw the most participation, numbers-wise, in all of the sports offered in the Greater Boston League. Everett High and Revere High featured the highest numbers across the league in football in this most recent, much-abbreviated "Fall 2" season held this past spring. First-year Everett High head man Rob DiLoreto had close to 60 players in uniform for the "Fall 2" and the Revere High Patriots and longtime head coach Lou Cicatelli welcomed ever more players than that to the shortened season. Both are expecting even higher rosters this fall as they eagerly await the 2021 campaign. For the high school football lovers in this area, and there are many, this has been a veritable smorgasbord of activity, with the basically back-to-back football seasons in 2021. A lot of the action has never stopped! Ray Buckland was a Greater Boston League legend in basketball and baseball for Medford High from 1974-1976. (Courtesy Photos) Another program looking to make some noise this fall will be Malden High School's Golden Tornado squad, led by first-year man Witche Exilhommer, a former Tornado star and 2012 MHS grad. Exilhomme has assembled a staff of all former Malden High standouts like himself, and says he is excited about the "buzz" being generated in Tornado-land. Preseason football practice for conditioning begins just two weeks from today on Friday, August 20. Golf also begins August 20, with all other sports able to start preseason practices on Monday, August 23.

'Buck' and Coach Kelley: Two Medford legends who will surely be missed Bad news travels fast and it was no surprise when I reached out to Malden High Hall-of-Famer John Furlong following the sudden passing of a legend from "the other side of the aisle" recently, Medford's Ray "Buck" Buckland. "Buck was the best," Furlong, a 1977 Malden High grad and twosport standout (basketball, baseball) who went on to excel for Salem State basketball in the late 1970s and early '80s. "He was a true friend, a great teammate when you were lucky enough to be on his team and a tremendous and tough opponent." Furlong recalled when the two squared off against each other in the NCAA Division 3 Basketball Regionals in the Boston Garden in the early 1980s, he for Salem State and Buckland for Boston State. "We were great friends by then, even though we were still rivals, but we decided it was the last game for one of us so we went outside our locker rooms and got dressed out in the hall." Buckland, 64, fell in front of his house in Lynn recently, hit his head and then died suddenly a few hours later, leaving his many friends in Lynn, Medford and Malden saddened. For all who knew him, he was a great guy who always had a good word for everyone he saw and will be missed so much. In the same category is the late former longtime Medford High athletic director, football and basketball coach Francis "Buddy" Kelley, who passed a few months ago. "One of a kind" was meant for Coach Kelley, who stalked the sidelines in the 1970s as an assistant football coach and in the 1980s and early 1990s as head coach. We will all miss both of these late Mustang legends.
