RENTAL CARS Available plain by 2070.” “This investment is critical for the well-being of our communities and benefi ts the environment, workforce, businesses and residents,” State Senator Sal DiDomenico, in whose district the area is located, said. “Climate change is creating severe and frequent natural disasters across our nation and the cancellation of federal funding threatens the viability of this essential project that would protect our communities and residents from severe fl ood risks over the coming years. The importance of this resilience development is without question. The $50 million allocated for this project underscores the importance of promoting coastal resilience for Everett, Chelsea and the region. I will continue doing everything I can to support Everett and Chelsea as they fi gure out what is next for this project.” Governor Healy agreed: “Massachusetts cities have been devastated by severe storms, fl ooding and wildfi res. We rely on FEMA funding to not only rebuild but also take steps to protect against future extreme weather, but the Trump Administration has suddenly ripped the rug out from under cities and towns that had been promised funding to help them upgrade their roads, bridges, buildings and green spaces to mitigate risk and prevent disasters in the future. This makes our communities less safe and will increase costs for residents, municipalities and businesses.” “With a reduction of FEMA funds, the feasibility of funding this large-scale project is certainly in jeopardy at this time,” Everett Planning and Development Director and Planning Board Administrator Matt Lattanzi told The Advocate. “From the last meeting we had between the relevant parties from Everett and Chelsea, the near-future consisted of planning, design and stakeholder discussions, which can move forward with the funding already in place. It is the construction of the project that was most-reliant on the federal funds, so some progress can still be had for the overall project, but construction schedules will, likely, be pushed out.” The Island End River Flood Resilience Project is a collaborative effort between Everett and Chelsea to prevent projected coastal storm surge fl ooding from the IER across a 500-acre floodplain that will impact more than 5,000 residents, 800+ buildings and 11,000 jobs in southeast Everett and southwest Chelsea. The Cities are working to construct a coastal storm surge barrier, storm surge control facility, nature-based approaches along the riverfront, a revitalized coastal park and related amenities at the IER. The approximately six-acre Project Site is currently composed of a mix of commercial and industrial uses and supporting roadway and utility infrastructure. The existing banks of the river are highly degraded by legacy industrial uses and are comprised of hardened slope stabilization measures and littered with debris. This Project will construct an approximately 4,650-linear-foot storm surge barrier, an approximately 2,900-square-foot underground storm surge control facility, approximately 20,000 square feet of nature-based approaches along the riverfront, and associated wetland and public access improvements along the IER. The storm surge control facility will be a gate or gates that control tidal fl ows. Nature-based solutions include upgrading river slopes by planting. BRIC is an annual FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grant funded by FEMA and administered through a partnership with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). BRIC makes federal funds available to states, territories, federally recognized tribal governments and local governments for hazard mitigation activities, which have become all the more important in recent years given the severe rise in extreme weather events caused by climate change. “Climate studies show changes in sea levels pose a risk to areas not presently prone to fl ooding,” DeMaria’s Chief of Staff, Erin Deveney, PROJECT | SEE PAGE 11 ׉ 7cassandra://4Rl4DU_y_hIFfnMKetmB02FRbPvvV3mV41KbhfUwtIo1C`h ^^r+׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 25, 2025 Page 7 Sen.

What resources are available to solo seniors like me, and where can I turn to find a reliable person to be my emergency contact, as well as lookout for my health, fi - nancial matters and living arrangements in my elder years? Solo Ager Dear Solo, This is a very common concern for the 22 million solo agers across the United States who don’t have adult children or other family they can depend on to watch out for their well-being. Here are some tips and resources that can help you plan ahead. Choosing Helpers & Decision Makers While older adults who have children or are married usually name off spring or spouses as proxies/decision makers, solo agers most often choose a sibling, niece or nephew, or rely on a trusted friend or neighbor. Whomever you choose, talk to them fi rst to make sure they’re up for the task. If, however, you don’t have anyone you feel comfortable with, or who is willing to take on that responsibility, you can hire someone. One of the best resources for this is an aging life care manager. These are trained professionals in the area of geriatric care who often have backgrounds in nursing or social work and can serve as your emergency contact, oversee your care and even act as your executor. They can also connect you with professional legal and fi nancial services in your area that can help you manage your aff airs. Aging life care managers typically charge anywhere from $100 to $300 an hour, depending on their location and experience. To search for an expert near you, visit aginglifecare.org. If you can’t aff ord this, there are other reliable sources you can turn to for specifi c help. For example, if you haven’t already done so, you need to prepare a basic estate plan (including a power of attorney, advance directive and a will) to ensure your wishes are carried out if you become incapacitated and when you die. To help you prepare these documents, your best option is to hire an experienced estate planning attorney, which can cost anywhere between $500 and $2,000. He or she may also be able to act as your power of attorney or executor, or help you locate a professional in your area that can. To locate someone, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (naela.org) and National Association of Estate Planners & Councils (naepc.org) have online directories to help you search. If you need help with bill-paying there are services like SilverBills (silverbills.com), or you can work with a daily money manager (aadmm.com) who, in addition to paying bills, can handle tasks like balancing your checkbook and organizing tax information. And to help you navigate care and senior housing options there are certifi ed senior advisors (csa.us). It’s also a good idea to meet with a fi nancial adviser to help figure out what services and living arrangements you can aff ord and what steps you can take to ensure that your fi nancial resources last your lifetime. If you don’t have an adviser, you can fi nd a fee-only, fi duciary fi - nancial planner trough the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors at napfa.org. Some other helpful resources you can turn to include Aging Alone Together (dorotusa. org/agingalonetogether), a program off ered by DOROT, which is a nonprofi t social services organization that provides practical ways to help solo agers prepare for the future. They are offering a free, six-session virtual workshop (off ered weekly) via Zoom starting April 24th . Also see Navigating Solo (navigatingsolo.com), a national clearinghouse of resources for solo agers and information about solo-ager groups in the U.S. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

If we don’t take action there could be flooding. The response is to the mutual benefi t of both communities.” On April 16, the state’s four food banks (The Greater Boston Food Bank, the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, the Merrimack Valley Food Bank and the Worcester County Food Bank) gathered for an advocacy day for the Massachusetts Emergency Food Assistance Program (MEFAP). Established in 1995, it is a funding mechanism for the state’s hunger-relief eff orts, enabling the food banks to distribute high-nutrition food to over 894 emergency food providers statewide. It is also considered an economic stimulant that supports local farms and agriculture. The event celebrated 30 years of the program and called for a $55.5 million line item in the Fiscal 2026 state budget to help maintain the state’s hunger-relief efforts, positioned as a “replacement mechanism” after $3.3 million in federal Department of Agriculture funds have been cut from the state’s food system, eff ectively canceling 122,000 cases of food slated for families in need. Meanwhile, threats to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) loom alongside high grocery prices and infl ation. DiDomenico attended. “We all know what’s happening at the national level is an assault, an assault on people in need,” he said. “There’s an assault on programs that benefi t people in need, and food science programs and SNAP. These have been on their radar since day one and, because of that, we have to prepare even more and give more at the state level to combat what is happening at the federal level. So, the $55.5 million ask for MEFAP this year is, in my mind, very reasonable.” EVERETT PUBLIC SCHOOLS JOB FAIR For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net ׉ 7cassandra://6Cgnrqm2zHLY1u40Pd4NOcpGyKVX6ko_Br4QYKvW4Zk0`h ^^r+h ^^r+ rבCטUru׉׉ 7cassandra://JE0yP6tDD-U8bRFeKpC90JOtPU2r0BqSn90pYqBvAVI³`'p׉ 7cassandra://BndCFfa35VeVa6EG-dIoG973aO6zM0s-G7Hoqx1Fz_s͗`׉ 7cassandra://w1-GlSWk-dbjoiSvPXJ8ibZ4y1QcWnp7qndLd-vpOB84}`h ^^r, טUUru׉׉ 7cassandra://CaG7V1wCbmQzOqqiDw8_fHMrmF8AEoqrBM8DiY6zqX0`'p׉ 7cassandra://S0olKlhirVQvbDEelXMwyPG76QK8gyeuww2lcsEsl4w͚]`׉ 7cassandra://St-xOLz_ZJhd6rf8qnAD4EPOYm6dCrqiW9iFv-btdqI06`h ^^r, נh ^^r,#$9ׁH"mailto:infomvt@atlantictambone.comׁ ׁ Јנh ^^r,$9ׁH"http://ofeverett.com/calendar/cateׁ ׁ Јנh ^^r,2 9ׁHhttp://ma.usׁ ׁ Јנh ^^r,9ׁH!mailto:Antoine.Coleman@ci.everettׁ ׁ Јנh ^^r,\9ׁH"mailto:infomvt@atlantictambone.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 12 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 25, 2025 City of Everett hosts luncheon for veterans Attendees learned more about Everett’s services and programs for veterans Veterans joined together with City of Everett staff and elected officials for the City of Everett’s Veterans Luncheon at the Crimson Café in Everett High School.

But like many purchases with a big price tag – and high stakes – a lot can go wrong. Buying a wedding dress or prom dress can come with unexpected expenses, delayed orders, surprise policies and unwanted stress before a big event. How can you ensure that dress shopping goes smoothly? • Start shopping early: Experts recommend buying a wedding dress six to nine months before the big day. You don’t need as much time for a prom or another special occasion, but experts recommend starting a few months ahead. Delivery and alterations can take time, and spring is a busy season for seamstresses. The more time you have, the more you can compare shops, and the less rushed and stressed you’ll feel. • Be clear about your budget: Be upfront so your salesperson shows you dresses in your price range. You don’t want to fall in love with a dress only to discover that it’s over your budget. • Research and try different styles: Browse online or in magazines for inspiration on what styles suit your body type. Once in the store, you’ll be able to narrow down your options. • Test out the dress: Walk, sit, stand and dance in the dress to test for comfort. You want to make sure that you’ll be comfortable in the dress for extended hours. Also consider bringing a pair of shoes to try on with the dress to make sure the height and length are to your desired taste. • Factor in alterations: Dress alterations can be costly, so double-check policies in advance. Some dress shops offer alterations for a flat fee or cap expenses at a certain amount. • Don’t pay 100% upfront when buying a wedding dress: Most salons ask for a deposit of about 50% of the dress price for expensive gowns. You should not be pressured into paying the entire cost of a wedding dress upfront. A deposit will generally be less of an issue for a prom dress. • Check the cancellation policy: Always check a store’s policy for your specific order. Each contract is different, and custom orders may have a strict cancellation policy. • Be clear about your schedule: Brides have complained to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) that their dresses arrived too late for alterations. Be very clear about schedules and leave extra time to resolve any issues. • Take your dress home: Promptly pick up your dress after your alterations are finished. You can’t control what happens at the store where you found a prom dress or wedding dress – it might even go out of business – so the safest place for your dress is at your home (or the place where you will be dressing on the big day). • Want to rent? Do your homework: Renting a dress is an increasingly popular option for proms and other special events. Be sure to start early because popular styles and sizes will sell out. Also, check BBB.org before committing to a specific company. • Check BBB: Research dress shops on BBB.org before making a purchase. What should you look for when buying a gown online? Some online sellers offer gowns that look like designer dresses for a fraction of the price. Buyers expect these dresses to be low-cost replicas, but BBB often hears that the dresses that arrive need to be more fitting and constructed from better-quality materials. If you’ve decided to buy a wedding dress or prom dress online, keep the following tips in mind: • Beware of counterfeit gowns: Authorized retailers are the only stores allowed to sell designer gowns. Anyone else claiming to carry them is likely selling counterfeits. Many dress designers do not sell their gowns online at all. • Shopping for a deal? Be realistic: As much as a budget-conscious bride or party-goer may want to find a $5,000 dress for $350, it will probably not happen. Many designers don’t allow their dresses to be discounted below a certain margin. An in-person sample sale, not online, might be a bride’s best bet for finding a discounted gown. • Double-check delivery promises: Your dress must arrive on time, so be sure the seller clearly states its typical delivery times. • Understand the return policy: Review the guarantee, return and refund policies before purchasing. Know if you can return your dress (and how much it will cost) if you are not happy with it. Make sure you can contact the company where you find the prom dress or wedding dress in case of problems. A website without contact information is a big red flag when shopping online. • Be wary of overseas sellers: Buying wedding dresses or prom dresses from an international seller might seem like a good deal; however, U.S. and Canadian laws and consumer protections will be difficult, if not impossible, to enforce. • Read BBB tips for shopping online: Although a wedding or prom dress might be an extra special purchase, much of the general advice for shopping online applies here, too.

We encourage everyone to plant something, step outside, and embrace the nature just beyond their doorstep.” 8 ways managed landscapes help save the planet: 1. Cool Down Our Communities – Parks, yards, natural turf sports fields, and green schoolyards help reduce the urban heat island effect. 2. Boost Oxygen Production – Trees, lawns, and greenery act as natural oxygen generators. 3. Capture Carbon – Turfgrass is an efficient carbon sink, absorbing up to seven times more carbon than is released through maintenance. 4. Support Wildlife & Pollinators – Living landscapes provide essential food and shelter for birds, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife. 5. Improve Air Quality – Vegetation acts as nature’s air filter, trapping dust and pollutants to keep our air clean. 6. Reduce Noise Pollution – Plants and trees serve as natural sound barriers, helping to create quieter environments. 7. Manage Water Runoff – Landscaping, especially turfgrass, absorbs and filters rainwater, helping to replenish ground water supplies. 8. Prevent Soil Erosion – Plant roots help stabilize the soil, reducing erosion and protecting land from degradation. To help children and families explore the benefits of green spaces, the TurfMutt Foundation offers free lesson plans and activities designed to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.

These Crimson Tide girls had won seven straight games, including two against Chelsea (152) and Somerville (20-3) to begin last week. They then went on the road to Haverhill to face nonleague Whittier Tech last Thursday afternoon, their third game in as many days, and as a result, it might have contributed to the 13-1 loss to the Wildcats. But, like all good teams, they quickly put that loss behind them, and went on to beat host Revere on Patriots Day, 10-4. The home game against Chelsea on April 15 quickly turned into a five-inning mercy rule rout. Pitcher Peyton Warren went the first three, and gave up just one walk, while striking out five. Her backup Graziella Foster pitched the final two innings, and allowed two hits, one walk and two earned runs, while also fanning five. The Tide offense quickly got going with four runs in the home half of the first. Arianna Osorio-Bonilla started it off with a double, before stealing third. Olivia Dresser then doubled her home, before Ashley Seward belted a two-run blast. Alexa Uga followed with a triple, and subsequently came home with the fourth run of the frame on a throwing error that tried to nab her at third. Kassidy Rivera and Juliette Romboli were credited with singles to prolong the inning, but were stranded on base to end the uprising. The Everett girls tacked on another run in the second on a Dresser triple and throwing error from the outfield in an attempt to get her at third. The home team then broke it open with six runs in the third to extend its lead to 11-0. With one out, Romboli and Jayla Davila singled, before Foster walked to load the bases. Warren then helped her own cause with a two-run double. Osorio-Bonilla followed with a two-run double of her own, and then waltzed home on a two-run round tripper by Dresser to close out the inning in style. The Red Devils got two back in the fourth, but still trailed, 11-2. In the fifth, the Tide put them out of their misery with four runs, just enough to invoke the mercy rule. Dresser doubled home Osorio-Bonilla with the first run of the inning. Seward then drew a walk, followed by a single from Uga, which knocked in Dresser. Romboli’s hit to the outfield scored the final two runs of the game. It was another five-inning mercy rule win for Everett at Somerville’s Trum Field the next day. They ended up beating up the Highlanders with a 20-run outburst. Warren once again only had to pitch three innings. This time, she walked one, and also gave up a hit and an earned run, while whiffing five. The offense got it going quickly once again with four runs in the top of the first. Osorio-Bonilla drew a walk, before Dresser doubled her home. Uga then drew a walk with one out, before Romboli knocked in Dresser and Davila doubled home Uga with the third and fourth runs of the inning. In the second, Everett put up 12 more runs. Warren started the inning off with a walk. Osorio-Bonilla followed with a double, before Dresser doubled both of them home. Seward then singled ahead of a double by Uga that accounted for two more runs. After a strikeout, Romboli drew a walk, before Davila doubled in Uga. Foster then singled in Romboli. Warren kept the inning going with another single. Osorio-Bonilla then walked to load the bases. Dresser was also issued a walk that scored Foster. Warren then came home on a free pass to Seward. Uga knocked in Osorio-Bonilla and Dresser with a single, before Seward completed the scoring in the inning on a fielder’s choice. The Highlanders got two back, when they came to the plate, but still trailed big after two, 162. Davila started the third with a double, and Foster knocked her in with an apparent homerun, but she missed touching third base, and was called out. She was still credited with a double SOFTBALL | SEE PAGE 22 Tide baseball beats Somerville, Revere to secure sixth win in nine games Malden, Chelsea come to Glendale next week as the schedule flips to begin Round 2 By Joe McConnell The Tide offense managed T he Everett High School baseball team (6-3) sandwiched two more wins around a non-league home loss to Belmont last Friday afternoon, 111. Before that loss, they edged Somerville, 3-2, also at home on April 16. Revere then came to Glendale on Patriots Day, and the home team was able to win another squeaker, 5-4. Derek Soper (6.2-innings, 2 hits, 4 walks, 2 earned runs, 12 strikeouts) and M.J. Guida (0.1-inning, 1 walk, 1 strikeout), two of Everett’s talented youthful brigade, combined to shut down the visiting Highlanders on the mound. just four singles in the game, but they made them all count. They scored the first run of the game in the opening stanza. The Highlanders tied it up in the third, before the home team notched two in the sixth to win the game, despite Somerville trimming the deficit in the seventh to one run. Captain Jevaun Berberena, Chris O’Neil (1 RBI), Guida and Soper (1 RBI) supplied the hits for Everett. Captain Albert Santana was credited with a walk and one RBI. Last Friday’s home game against non-league Belmont did not go that well for the local nine. The Marauders had a 7-0 lead, before the Tide scored one in the third. They then scored a run in the fourth and fifth innings, and sealed the deal with four in the sixth to invoke the mercy rule. The Everett boys was credited with only six hits, led by Armani Negron with a single and a double. Captain Nordeivy Santana chipped in with two singles. Tyler Freni and Berberena each singled once. Albert Santana did the same thing against Belmont as he did against Somerville. He once again walked, while knocking in the team’s lone run against its formidable Middlesex League opponent. The results were much better on Patriots Day for coach Malik Love’s squad. They led, 3-0 after three. The Patriots got one back in the fourth, and actually tied up the game at four with three in the seventh after the locals scored their fourth run in the sixth. But the Everett boys won the game in the home half of the seventh. Guida (4.1-innings, 3 hits, 4 walks, 1 unearned run, 5 strikeouts) teamed up with Freni (2.2-innings, 1 hit, 3 walks, 3 unearned runs, 5 strikeouts) to get their teammates back on the winning track. The Tide once again had trouble mustering up any offense. They only had three hits, but Isaiah Goffigan supplied some power with a run-producing double. Freni singled in another run. O’Neil ended up with a base hit. Nordeivy Santana chipped in with a walk and one RBI, along with Negron. Guida also knocked in one of his team’s five runs. The Everett boys have since closed out this week on Wednesday against host Medford after press deadline. They will play three next week to begin the second half of the season, starting with Malden coming to town Monday afternoon (April 28), followed by another home game two days later against Chelsea. They will wrap up the week next Friday (May 2) against non-league Charlestown at Bunker Hill Community College. All three games will begin at 4 p.m. ׉ 7cassandra://tfB7Y_vPGb5NwWLZi8d0XArlMV7v6VxLaTHbnx-PnRw5`h ^^r+׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 25, 2025 Page 19 Meet the 2025 Everett High School Crimson Tide Boys’ Varsity Tennis Team The 2025 EHS Crimson Tide Boys’ Varsity Tennis Team, shown top row, from left to right, are: David Severe, Pablo Jimenez, Carlos Mungia, Tariq Sadeddin, Captain Bryant Jimenez, Anthony Fontes and Ricardo Contreras.

SOFTBALL | FROM PAGE 18 and an RBI on the play to extend the lead to 17-2 after three. Somerville scored its final run of the game in the fourth, before the Tide finished them off with three more in the fifth. Dresser and Seward started the inning off with walks, before Emma Salvi doubled them home. Foster then completed the onslaught by singling home Salvi. “I’m incredibly proud of the way our team started (last) week. They were focused and energized, and were ready to execute,” said coach Stacy Schiavo. “Warren and Foster were lights out in the circle, combining for 15 strikeouts over two games, while giving up just two hits in 10 total innings. We set the tone Catching for Everett, Tide senior Isaiah Goffigan. early, and our bats were able to stay hot throughout both games.” But then, Whittier Tech humbled them with a mercy rule win to close out the week. Warren surrendered 14 hits and five walks that resulted in 10 earned runs. She fanned five. Everett scored its lone run of the game in the very first inning. Dresser drew a one-out walk, followed by two more walks to Seward and Uga to load the bases. Dresser scored on a hit by Romboli, before the Wildcats shut them down from that point on. The Wildcats then scored two in the home half to take the lead for good. They added three more in the second, and added four in the fourth and another four in the fifth to close out their offense in this game against Everett. “I felt like we didn’t bring our best effort,” said Schiavo afterwards. “We were flat, made too many mistakes, and as a result didn’t compete the way we should have. It’s frustrating, but it’s also our first loss, and sometimes a tough one like this one is what a team needs to refocus. I know this group, and I have no doubt we’ll bounce back stronger and hungrier.” After beating Revere on Monday, the Everett girls then welcomed Medford to town on April 23 after press deadline. They have since been off to get ready for road games against Malden (April 28 at Callahan Park) and Chelsea (April 30 at Carter Park). Both games are scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. ums not covered by advance tax credit payments During enrollment through the Health Connector, the Health Connector will determine if you are eligible for advance payments of the premium tax credit, also called advance credit payments. Advance credit payments are amounts paid directly to your insurance company on your behalf to lower your out of pocket cost for your health insurance premiums. It is the federal government that is funding the Advance Premium Tax Credit. The Massachusetts website is: www.mahealthconnector.org. When you enroll in coverage through the Health Connector, you can choose to have monthly advance credit payments sent directly to your insurance company. If you get the benefit of any advance credit payments in any amount or if you wish to claim the premium tax credit itself, you must file a federal income tax return, even if you are usually not required to file one. You must attach Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit, to your tax return to either claim the tax credit or to reconcile the advance credit payments made to your health insurance carrier. If you do not file this Form with your return, your tax return will not be accepted by the IRS when you go to electronically file your tax return. Furthermore, you will not be entitled to future advance credit payments. The Health Connector will provide you with Form 1095A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement. This form is necessary for you or your tax preparer to complete Form 8962. It contains all of the relevant information. Keep this in mind for the 2025 tax filing year. Every tax season, so too often, taxpayers do not submit Form 1095-A to their tax preparer. In this situation, the preparer cannot possibly prepare Form 8962 in order to attach to Form 1040. In fact, the preparer wouldn’t necessarily even know that the taxpayer had received advanced premium tax credits during a particular calendar year. The electronic filing will be rejected if no Form 8962 is included with the tax filing. Form 8962 can be prepared once the tax preparer has Form 1095-A. Joseph D.

She was 87. Born and raised in Everett, Massachusetts, Kay was the cherished daughter of Irish immigrants, the late Andrew and Mary (Winters) Philbin, and the devoted wife of the late Attorney Richard Donovan of Chelsea, with whom she shared 25 wonderful years of marriage. At a young age, Kay made the selfless decision to forgo medical school aspirations to care for her ailing mother—a choice that shaped a distinguished career in education and a lifetime of service to others. She was a proud graduate of Matignon High School (Class of ’55), Regis College (B.A., cum laude, ’59), and Boston College (M.Ed., ’62). She continued postgraduate studies at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education and Bowdoin College. Kay began her career teaching in Chelsea and Everett schools and was the first lay teacher at the Immaculate Conception School. She rose from teacher to administrator in the Everett Public Schools, making history as the district’s first female Superintendent. Guided by her fundamental philosophy that “every child matters,” Kay was a widely recognized and revered leader in education. Her work earned her an invitation from U.S. House Speaker Tip O’Neill to speak at the 1983 White House Conference on Education, where she was presented a Certificate of Merit in 1985 by U.S. Secretary of Education William Bennett. It also took her abroad—to chair educational conferences in Helsinki, Finland, and China to study early childhood models. She then went home to Boston, where she served as Vice Chair of the commission that unified the University of Massachusetts and Boston State College. She went on to lead the school districts of York, Maine, and Arlington, Massachusetts, respectively, where she constructed eight new schools, secured millions of dollars in grant funding to invigorate math, science, research, and athletics in her schools, launched employee childcare programs, and negotiated a ten-million-dollar contaminated land remediation with major energy corporations, resulting in new high school athletic fields and facilities. Kay’s lifelong career dedication extended well into her retirement years, with teaching school law at Emmanuel College and as President of Pope John XXIII High School in Everett, where she established an international boarding school. An entrepreneurial spirit, Kay remained actively involved in her family business for her entire life. She will be fondly remembered as a brilliant educator, champion for children, fierce advocate for women’s empowerment, and a loyal friend. Kay was a charismatic presence who embraced life with joy, curiosity, and grace. She leaves us with a legacy of wisdom, generosity, and love that inspires those who knew her. Along with her parents and husband, Kay is predeceased by her brother Joseph Philbin, sister Mary (Philbin) Gorman, and her husband John, brother-inlaw John Donovan, and his wife Marguerite. She is survived by her brother Andrew Philbin and his wife Mary of Lynnfield, sister-in-law Ellen Philbin of Everett, brother-in-law Robert Donovan of Chelsea, and her extensive family of adoring nieces, nephews, and their children.

There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. CONSOLIDATED EDUCATION AMENDMENT (H 4005) House 151-4, approved a consolidated amendment adding $46.2 in education funding to the $1.3 billion supplemental budget. Much of the funding was for education projects and programs proposed by individual representatives for their local districts. “This consolidated amendment provides critical funding for a variety of education-related programs and projects at both the state and municipal levels, including $15 million to assist communities with regional school transportation costs,” said Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “These initiatives are funded with excess … surtax revenues, which is in keeping with the will of the voters to use this money to supplement spending for education and transportation-related initiatives.” Amendment opponents said that the amendment was full of pork barrel spending proposed by representatives for projects in their own district. They noted that the money should be used for education projects for all cities and towns, including fully funding special education costs for all the cities and towns in the state. (A “Yes” vote is for the $46.2 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes CONSOLIDATED TRANSPORTATION AMENDMENT (H 4005) House 134-20, approved a consolidated amendment adding $28.8 million in transportation funding to the $1.3 billion supplemental budget. Much of the funding was for transportation projects and programs proposed by individual representatives for their local districts. “This consolidated amendment includes funding for multiple transportation-related initiatives across the state, providing cities and towns with the funding needed to carry out essential transportation infrastructure repairs and maintenance,” said Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “When the voters approved the [surtax] amendment in 2022, they were clear that these revenues should be spent only on transportation and education, and this consolidated amendment upholds the will of the voters.” “We are seeing the necessity for overrides pop up all across the commonwealth and in multiple towns of the 6th Plymouth District, dominated mostly by school operational budgets,” said Rep. Ken Sweezey (R-Hanson). “I believe that the … funds would have been best used on education in the dire situation we fi nd ourselves in rather than the disproportionate amount we funneled to transportation and the MBTA.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $28.8 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL FORECLOSURE PREVENTION PROGRAM (S 765) – The Financial Services Committee held a hearing on a bill that would create a Massachusetts Foreclosure Prevention Program to assist homeowners in avoiding foreclosure through supervised pre-foreclosure conferences between creditors and borrowers regarding foreclosure alternatives. Conferences would result in a report, and foreclosures can only proceed with a Certifi cate of Compliance, contingent on BEACON | SEE PAGE 25 ׉ 7cassandra://GM3FteHHk-HGgF5QMlEKPJpM_iE_Ni9di7b-UD6cWbE.W`h ^^r+׉E!THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 25, 2025 Page 25 BEACON | FROM PAGE 24 a creditor’s good-faith efforts to negotiate. Judicial enforcement provisions allow sanctions against non-compliant creditors, including interest tolling, penalties or dismissal of foreclosure actions. The program would be funded by the Foreclosure Prevention Fund, supported by creditor fees to cover administrative costs such as conference monitors and outreach initiatives. “With Massachusetts foreclosures on the rise, updated state laws that better protect homeowners are long overdue,” said sponsor Sen. Adam Gomez (D-Springfield). “In the Pioneer Valley, more than half of all renters are ‘cost burdened,’ spending 30 percent or more of their income on housing. This trend is even worse for communities of color in the region, such as Springfield where we continue to face serious housing stability challenges.” DIVEST STATE RETIREMENT FUNDS FROM FIREARMS COMPANIES (H 49) - A bill heard by the Public Service Committee would require the Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management (PRIM) Board to divest direct investments with companies that derive more than 15 percent of revenues from the sale or manufacture of ammunition, firearms or firearm accessories used for civilian purposes. “It is crucial that we take a stand against gun violence, which is now the leading cause of death for children - LEGAL NOTICE - ages 1 to nineteen,” said State Treasurer Deb Goldberg. “This bill takes a fiscally responsible approach in divesting from an industry that has repeatedly refused to work toward protecting our communities.” She noted that while this MORTGAGEE’S NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE BEACON | SEE PAGE 26 represents only a minuscule fraction of the state’s invest~ Legal Notice ~ By virtue and in execution of the Power of Sale contained in a certain Mortgage given by Jaime Mendoza and Marta Mendoza to U.S. Bank National Association, dated October 7, 2019 and recorded with the Middlesex County (Southern District) Registry of Deeds at Book 73419, Page 314 for breach of the conditions of said Mortgage and for the purpose of foreclosing same will be sold at Public Auction at 11:00 AM on May 9, 2025 at 285 Chelsea Street, Everett, MA, all and singular the premises described in said Mortgage, to wit: The land with the buildings thereon situated in Everett, Middlesex County, Massachusetts and being the premises numbered 285 on the present numbering of Chelsea Street and being Lot 40 on a “Plan of House Lots in Malden owned by Nathaniel Shields, July 1, 1845, J.H.

SENIORS’ FINANCIAL STABLITY (S 471) - The Elder Affairs Committee’s hearing included legislation that would require the state treasurer to develop and periodically review and update model curriculum to support seniors’ financial literacy and stability, in consultation with the Executive Office of Elder Affairs, the Massachusetts Councils on Aging and AARP Massachusetts. “Massachusetts is among the three states where older people are most likely to be financially insecure,” said sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “Older people are the fastest group of unhoused people, and among the most likely victims of scams.” LIQUOR LICENSE SUSPENSION (H 390) – Current law suspends the liquor license of and closes down for a period of time, any package store that is found guilty of selling to a minor or an intoxicated individual. However, in big box stores, supermarkets, gas stations and other places in which liquor sales are not their primary business, a violation results only in the closing of the liquor department. A bill, sponsored by Rep. Steven Howitt (R-Seekonk) and heard by the Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee, would amend current law so that the entire establishment is closed down. Supporters said current law creates an unfair disadvantage to the liquor stores and argued the bill levels the playing field. “As licenses to sell alcohol have expanded into big box stores and supermarkets, the small, in most cases, family owned ‘packies’ have suffered,” said Howitt. “If any liquor store is caught selling to a minor, they may face closure for a few days, not the case for liquor-selling big box ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE JUDICIAL BRANCH SUPERIOR COURT Hillsborough Superior Court Northern District 300 Chestnut Street Manchester NH 03101 CITATION FOR PUBLICATION Superior Court Rule 4(d) Case Name: Optiline Enterprises LLC v Interiano Drywall Corporation Case Number: 216-2024-CV-00945 The above entitled action is now pending in this Court.

Should this occur in one of these retailers, only the alcohol department is shut down for a suspension period.” Howitt continued, “This bill would shut down the whole business, just as a liquor store. It would also ensure that these big stores would be mindful, as small liquor stores are, that this is serious business, not just a small additional merchandise department in their stores.” “HERSTORY” PHOTO EXHIBIT HONORING TRAILBLAZING WOMEN - Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) announced the opening of HERstory, a photo exhibit honoring 91 trailblazing women who have shaped the history of Massachusetts and the nation. The exhibit will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Fridays, in Spilka’s ceremonial office on the third floor of the Massachusetts Statehouse, directly outside the Senate Chamber. Photos include Phillis Wheatley, the first African American author of a published book of poetry and a strong supporter of America’s fight for independence; Frances Perkins, workers’ rights advocate and the first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet; Elberta Futrelle Copeland, the first woman publisher of the State House News Service and first woman to step foot on the floor of the Massachusetts House of Representatives; Margaret Marshall, anti-apartheid activist and the first woman to serve as Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court; Kitty Dukakis, longest-serving First Lady of Massachusetts and advocate for mental health and Holocaust awareness; and Therese Murray the first woman to be elected Senate president. These photos replace the current hanging photos of past Senate presidents going back to 1780. The most recent presidents still have their portraits hanging in the Senate Reading Room including former Senate Presidents Therese Murray, Bill Bulger, Tom Birmingham, Kevin Harrington and Bob Travaglini. “Massachusetts residents have always been dynamic and diverse, but our Statehouse art has failed to fully represent them,” said Spilka. “It is our responsibility to make sure every resident can see themselves in the halls of power, regardless of their background. I hope that when women walk into this office, they know that they have a place in this building—and in shaping Massachusetts’ future. I’m so excited to be able to share this with residents, visitors and staff who come to the Statehouse.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “This project underscores Massport’s strong commitment to sustainability and reinforces our responsibility to BEACON | SEE PAGE 27 ׉ 7cassandra://PHqS2eBmJ4LYaqNhHYE54uezUmz4AqyM14ZUWhsrc_I)A`h ^^r+׉E"THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 25, 2025 Page 27 BEACON | FROM PAGE 26 minimize our environmental footprint across all of our facilities as we work toward achieving our Net Zero goal.

This funding will support noncredit Certified Nursing Assistant and Medical Assistant training programs at each of the state’s 15 public community colleges, serving approximately 1,125 students in the state. “At its core, this bill is about investing in and strengthening our public higher education system by bringing educator salaries in line with the national average. It ensures that every student—regardSELLER1 Vongoli Rt Haile, Beruk D Bold Vision Re Soln LLC 119 Florence St LLC less of background—learns in a classroom supported by educators and staff who are respected and fairly compensated.” --- Senator Pavel Payano (D-Lawrence) on his bill to provide fair compensation for faculty and staff at the state’s public colleges and universities. “No child should ever experience abuse or neglect. Today’s event serves as an important reminder to look beyond the statistics. Behind every number is a story of a child that is experiencing harm and it’s on us to ensure that we’re speaking up against abuse of all kinds, but especially when it’s against our most vulnerable.” ---Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll at an event, sponsored by Children’s Trust, which is dedicated to ending child abuse and neglect in Massachusetts. The event called attention to Child Abuse Prevention Month and emphasized the urgent need to invest in the family support workforce. The annual Step Up for Kids event featured a display of 70 children’s shoes on the steps of the Grand Staircase at the Statehouse, each pair representing the average number of children confi rmed as abused or neglected every day in Massachusetts.

Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of SELLER2 Mastrocola Mgmt Inc Tr ADDRESS 88 Chestnut St 8 Bradford Ter 1 Magnolia Ct 119-121 Florence St #2 CITY Everett Everett Everett Everett 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 fi led. 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.

Attendees had the chance to ask questions, hear from experienced professionals, and connect with others going through similar life transitions. A heartfelt thank you goes to Laurie, Director of the Saugus Senior Center, for offering such a warm and welcoming space for the event. Her continued support of community-focused programming made this gathering possible. Special appreciation also goes out to Peter for his behind-the-scenes dedication and coordination, which played a crucial role in the event’s success.
