WWW.JMACKEYLAW.COM COVID-19 brings changes to city jobs By Christopher Roberson I n just three short months, George Lane’s position as the director of the Facility Maintenance Department has morphed into something much more than keeping the city’s buildings up and running. “Everything is more complicated across the board,” he said, adding that one of his new duties is to oversee the distribution of “five to seven” tons of food each week. In addition, Lane said, his department is responsible for keeping City Hall stocked with sanitizer. However, that is easier said than done. “It’s already hard enough to obtain these products,” he said. Lane said he ordered 150 cases of Purell hand sanitizer and thus far, 60 of them have arrived in Everett. He also said touch-free faucets have been installed in City Hall as well as “$8,000 to $10,000” in Plexiglas. City Clerk Sergio Cornelio said the biggest changes in his job have been organizing virtual City Council meetings and serving residents online. He said that prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 15,000 residents would come into his office every year. Cornelio also said he is one the few City Hall employees who continue to go into work despite the risk of contracting the virus. “I’ve been in since day one of COVID,” he said. Land Use Planner Shane O’Brien said learning to use Zoom has been a challenge, adding that it was initially difficult to ensure that residents had the opportunity to participate in meetings. “Public access was one of the biggest issues that we had to overcome,” he said. “It was a struggle at first; it was an interesting shift,” he said. However, O’Brien and his colleagues were quick to adapt. He said two major projects on Norman Street and Garvey Street were both approved remotely. In addition, O’Brien said, permit applications can be filled out online and signed electronically using DocuSign. “When problems arise, we figure out ways to solve them. That’s our job,” he said. Mayor’s son looking to donate basketball hoop By Christopher Roberson Patricia Ridge, Esq. * Katherine M. Brown, Esq. A fter receiving a regulation size basketball hoop as a gift a few weeks ago, Carlo DeMaria, Jr., the son of Mayor Carlo DeMaria, has decided to donate it. In prior years, he had enjoyed playing and coaching in the Everett Youth Basketball League; however, between going to school and working full-time, he has not been able to use the hoop very much. Therefore, DeMaria decided he would like to give the hoop to the Family Veterans Housing development behind Everett High School, adding that he has submitted his request to the city’s Housing Authority. “There’s no basketball hoop in that area,” he said. “I definitely want it to stay in the Everett community; I want to bring some happiness.” Prices subject to change We're all in this together!

After starting his career as a U.S. history teachFormer Everett resident sentenced to 15 months for mailing threatening letters from prison to N.H. residents C ONCORD, N.H. - Matthew Oliver, 38, formerly of Everett, Mass., was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison for mailing threatening communications, announced U.S. Attorney Scott W. Murray. According to court documents and statements made during a jury trial, Oliver mailed the threatening communications while incarcerated at the Onondaga County Justice Center in Syracuse, N.Y., in 2017. In January of 2017, Oliver mailed to a home in New Hampshire a letter that contained a threat to injure the woman who lived there. While still incarcerated at the facility in April of 2017, the defendant mailed another letter to the home that contained a threat to assault the woman’s daughter. Oliver was found guilty by jury on November 19, 2019. “Violent threats damage the personal peace and security of victims and are not protected by the First Amendment,” said U.S. Attorney Murray. “Those who send violent threats through the mail are not exercising free speech rights; they are committing crimes that undermine the rights of their victims. We will not tolerate such threats. Rather, we will work closely with our law enforcement partners to identify, prosecute and incarcerate the criminals who send them.” “Matthew Oliver is fi nally being held accountable for terrorizing two women with violent threats, causing them to fear for their physical safety,” said the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Boston Division, Joseph R. Bonavolonta. “Let this case be a warning to others who are seeking to exact revenge while behind bars; the FBI and our law enforcement partners will not hesitate to take swift action against anyone who tries to continue their criminal conduct by sending threatening hate mail.” The Seabrook New Hampshire Police Department, the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Offi ce and the FBI investigated the case.

In DeMaria’s promise to the city, he committed to former President Barack Obama’s Mayor’s Pledge in which he promised to engage the community by including a diverse range of input, experiences and stories into the policy making decisions of the city. Through this, the City of Everett’s Diversity and Equity Advisory Board has been formulated. The Everett Diversity and Equity Advisory Board will be an independent group of community members chaired by Bishop Robert G. Brown, who is Senior Pastor of the Zion Church Ministries and Presiding Prelate of the Covenant Christian Church Alliance Inc. The Advisory Board will review the Everett Police Department’s use-of-force policies, training guidelines, data and reporting while producing recommendations within the next 90 days. Aligned with the “Mayor’s Pledge,” the community will have three weeks to review recommendations and provide feedback to the City of Everett and Mayor DeMaria. Shortly thereafter, DeMaria will announce reforms to be implemented as a result of these combined recommendations within 120 days of the Advisory Board beginning their review. In addition to reviewing the policies of the Everett Police Department, the Advisory Board will be charged with producing recommendations to promote the inclusion of Everett’s diverse population by reviewing inequities and making recommendations of human services and advancement programs that will provide mental health assistance, housing assistance, social services, training and development to promote equity within the community. The members will also review the City of Everett’s hiring process and assist with discussing inclusive recruiting practices to promote diversity in the workforce. The Advisory Board will be calling upon experts in the suggested subject matter for opinions and guidance to form their recommendations. There are nine community members invited to participate in the Diversity and Equity Advisory Board in addition to the Chair, Bishop Brown.

Immaculate Conception Parish announces reopening he Immaculate Conception Parish in Everett has reopened for celebration of Holy Mass and all are welcomed back. Anyone who feels uncomfortable returning at this time as well as those of vulnerable age should remain at home and worship with us through Catholic TV or other social media where people are able to follow Holy Mass. Meanwhile, the Immaculate Conception Parish announces that it is making a change to its Mass schedule. Beginning on the weekend of July 4-5, there will no longer be a 9 a.m. Mass and an 11 a.m. Mass. There will be a 10 a.m. Mass instead. For the summer, the 5:30 p.m. Sunday Mass has already been suspended, so the weekend Mass schedule for the summer will be as follows: Saturday, 4 p.m. (English); Saturday, 7:30 p.m. (Vietnamese); Sunday, 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. (English); Sunday, 1 p.m. (Spanish); Sunday, 4 p.m. (Haitian). The Parish continues to honor social distancing, and requires the wearing of a mask before, during and after Mass. The Church is cleaned by volunteers after each Mass. Due to the restrictions on attendance, there is limited sitting in the upper Church (about 78 people) and in the Chapel (about 30 people). It is very important that anyone seeking to attend one of the Masses call the Rectory to indicate which Mass time is preferred. If the preferred Mass is full, another Mass that has availability will be recommended. The Rectory number is 617-389-5661. ׉ 7cassandra://Ck_72w2e89UKfEryh4IYWRwP1lytTWADBfRdvTTee6Q-`̰^m2W9n9G׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 26, 2020 Page 5 DiDomenico and Senate colleagues unanimously pass comprehensive elections bill O n June 16, State Senator Sal DiDomenico and his colleagues in the State Senate unanimously passed a bill to expand voter access and address safety for all remaining 2020 elections, including the September 1 state primary and November 3 general election, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The bill, An Act relative to voting options in response to COVID-19, would, for the first time in state history, give all eligible residents the opportunity to vote early for the state primary and general election, allow residents to vote by mail and expand absentee ballot access. “Ensuring that we have safe, inclusive, and accessible elections is always of the highest importance, but especially critical as we face the COVID-19 crisis,” said DiDomenico. “I am proud that we have unanimously passed a comprehensive bill that will allow voters – for the first time ever – to cast ballots by mail, vote early, and safely vote in person, as well as give our local election officials the tools they need to successfully run our fall elections. I am also pleased that we were able to adopt a number of amendments that will ensure there is a strong public awareness campaign on these election changes to help educate and empower voters ahead of the 2020 elections and help drive turnout.” The bill does the following: may return their early voting ballot in the mail, in a secure drop box or in person. • Tasks the Secretary of State with creating an online portal: The bill requires Secretary William Galvin’s office to create an online portal by October 1 to make it as easy as possible for people to apply for general election early voting ballots electronically. • Expands absentee voting: Sal DiDomenico State Senator • Implements an early-voteby-mail system: An application to receive an early voting ballot will be mailed to all registered voters by July 15. The Secretary will then mail another application for the general election in the voter booklet sent out in the fall. Both applications and ballots will be postage paid. • Creates early voting for the primary and expands early voting periods: For the first time in Massachusetts, early voting will be available for the state primary, to take place from Saturday, August 22 through Friday, August 28. Early voting for the general election would take place from Saturday, October 17 to Friday, October 30. Early voting hours would vary according to the size of the municipality in order to give voters ample opportunity to participate while not overburdening small towns’ election departments. Voters The bill provides for absentee voting by any person taking precautions related to COVID-19. Voters may also return absentee ballots via a secure drop box. • Provides tools to assist clerks: Acknowledging the increased burden these options might place on municipalities and clerks, the bill also provides for several accommodations to make the logistics of processing votes easier. The legislation allows for tabulating ballots prior to Election Day, and it offers preaddressed envelopes to voters, so their applications go directly to their clerk’s office. • Makes in-person voting more efficient: The bill allows municipalities to consolidate polling places and eliminate the check-out table at these locations, allowing for a more efficient process and fewer poll workers. It also expands who is eligible to serve as a poll worker, knowing that many current volunteers are seniors who Mayor announces Independence Day celebration M ayor Carlo DeMaria is proud to announce that the City of Everett will host an Independence Day Celebration on Thursday, July 2 at 6:30 p.m. In order to practice safe social distancing, the celebration will feature a drive-in movie at Rivergreen Park showing the classic baseball movie “The Sandlot.” “I think it’s important to celebrate the ideals of our country that all men are created equal and everyone has the right to the pursuit of happiness,” said DeMaria. “I am happy we are able to provide an opportunity for families to relax and enjoy this holiday in a socially responsible manner.” Prior to the movie, residents are invited to watch virtual fireworks on the screen, interact and take pictures with patriotic characters and superheroes. The City of Everett will also provide free popcorn and drinks. “I hope residents of Everett will take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the holiday with their family members,” said DeMaria.

Everett has the fourth highest rate in the state, with an average of 3,599.36 per 100,000. Of the 6,774 people who were tested for COVID-19, 25.79 percent tested positive for the virus. People can compare the number of COVID-19 cases confirmed in Everett to those in neighboring cities and towns as well as communities of similar size by going to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) website at https:// www.mass.gov/info-details/ covid-19-response-reporting – click on COVID-19 cases by PRIOR VOTE | FROM PAGE 1 back,” said Adrien during the council’s June 22 meeting, adding that she did not understand why her resolution was being reconsidered, particularly after the council had voted on it. “My questions have not been answered.” President Rosa DiFlorio attempted to intervene, but Adrien was relentless. “You do not cut me off,” said Adrien. “You don’t cut anyone else off.” Councillor-at-Large Peter Napolitano said it is not uncommon for resolutions to be reconsidered after a vote. Chelsea (7,718.12 per 100,000), Brockton (4,271.83 per 100,000) and Lawrence (3,986.35 per 100,000) have the highest rates in the state for people testing positive for the Coronavirus. Here’s how nine other area communities compare to Everett: Lynn: 3,604 cases, 3,571.74 per 100,000 (fifth highest in state). Revere: 1,748 cases, 2,869.51 per 100,000 (sixth highest in state).

Saugus: 556 cases, 1,956.00 per 100,000 (21st highest in state). “I’ve seen it numerous times in my 20 years on the council,” he said. Regarding Adrien’s resolution, Napolitano said she was “barking up the wrong tree,” adding that the School Department is separate from the council. “It’s not in our purview,” he said. Adrien said she intends to pursue the matter until her questions are answered. “This is not a personal attack on our superintendent,” she said. “I believe children are being left behind.” However, Napolitano said that in an official capacity, it would not be possible for Adrien to raise those questions again. “As a city councillor, due to the Education Reform Act, you cannot pursue these questions,” he said. The council voted unanimously to send the resolution back to Adrien. Layoff discussion postponed until July In other news, the council voted to postpone the discussion about layoffs until its next meeting on July 27 as the city has not released budget information for fiscal year 2021. Therefore, Ward 1 Councillor Fred Capone asked that the layoff projections be included in this year’s budget. Summer meetings With the exception of the July 27 meeting, the council voted to suspend its sessions until September. However, the council can still hold Wakefield: 313 cases, 1,159.05 per 100,000. Melrose: 242 cases, 836.73 per 100,000. Reading: 296 cases , 1,076.99 per 100,000. Lynnfield: 93 cases, 798.35 per 100,000. Statewide totals: 102,762 cases, 1,475.03 per 100,000.

DiFlorio lauds council for COVID-19 response Although the council did not meet for two months because of the COVID-19 pandemic, DiFlorio said, her colleagues continued to serve Everett in other ways. She said Councillor-at-Large Wayne Matewsky made several calls to senior citizens, Capone participated in the food distribution effort and Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins assisted in distributing hundreds of Chromebooks. “Credit is due where credit is due,” said DiFlorio. However, Adrien interjected, taking offense at not being recognized. “Are you going to also give credit to the work that I did?” she asked. Adrien said she handed out care packages to residents at Glendale Towers and at the Whittier School. She also said she spent $1,500 of her own money to purchase groceries and raised an additional $2,000. DiFlorio did not appreciate Adrien’s lack of decorum. “Stop interrupting me, I’m not going to take it,” she said. “You need to have respect; you raising $2,000 is against ethics.” In response, Adrien said she received authorization to raise that money. “Don’t make that accusation – that’s not okay,” she said. “I’m requesting an apology – that was out of line. You accused me of an ethics violation.” ׉ 7cassandra://rZyUaMenIgU-TnrZnCP6wCab-7H8cEBD3GArlHZYcpA/x`̰^m2W9n9G׉E jTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 26, 2020 Page 7 Everett celebrates first gay pride flag raising By Christopher Roberson F or the first time in the city’s history, the rainbow-colored flag representing the LGBTQ community was recently hoisted above Church Street in recognition of Pride Month. “Everett is a melting pot of race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria during the June 22 ceremony outside City Hall, adding that the first Pride Flag was raised in San Francisco 42 years ago. “In Everett, everyone is accepted, welcomed and at home.” He also called attention to the 6-3 ruling – handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court on June 15, 2020 – that makes it unlawful for an employer to terminate an employee based on their sexual orientation. “This ruling was long overdue, LGBTQ rights are human rights,” said DeMaria. Ward 5 School Committee Member Marcony Almeida-Barros said he is Everett’s first gay elected official. “I moved from Brazil to Everett and met my Everett-born husband at Everett City Hall,” he said. Almeida-Barros also spoke about the Stonewall riots that State Senator Sal DiDomenico (Advocate Photos by Christopher Roberson) Ward 5 School Committee Member Marcony Almeida-Barros The LGBTQ Pride flaps in the breeze above Church Street next to City Hall. broke out on June 28, 1969, during a police raid at the Stonewall Inn in New York City’s Greenwich Village. He said it was that series of events that ultimately led to the Gay Rights Movement. “Discrimination has no place anywhere in our country,” he said. In addition, Almeida-Barros shared his message for the youths of the LGBTQ community: “Be proud of who you are, don’t let anyone tell you you’re not important – you are.” State Senator Sal DiDomenico recalled sponsoring the Transgender Equal Rights Act in 2011, saying it was a major piece of legislation at the time. Although passing the Act was a substantial accomplishment, Mayor Carlo DeMaria State Representative Joseph McGonagle DiDomenico said there is still more to be done. “Not everyone feels safe being who they are,” he said. State Representative Joseph McGonagle spoke about the significance of having the Pride Flag in Everett. “Each time we pass by this flag, we can look up and see how important it is,” he said.

Unlike other tests currently on the market, Tru-Immune detects the presence and magnitude of neutralizing antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus (which causes COVID-19) that could prevent future infection. “This test will provide personalized information that has not been available before,” said ARCpoint Franchise Group CEO John Constantine. “This is the first test that can give you an indication of how effective your antibodies are at fighting COVID-19. We are excited about what this means for individuals, and the value it provides as they make decisions about returning to work and other activities safely and with confidence. ARCpoint Labs is proud to be the first national network of collection sites for Tru-Immune as we roll this out.” According to a recent article published by Johns Hopkins University, neutralization assays are the “gold standard” for determining if a patient has effective antibodies and protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2. “Tru-Immune is the first test to evaluate protective immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus that does not require the use of live virus, cell culture or even pseudovirus,” said Ethos Research and Development’s Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Joshua Gunn. “These significant innovations allow us to process samples in less than three hours, compared to viral neutralization tests that can take three to five days to produce results.” Blood tests capable of detecting anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies have flooded the market, but none can measure the viral neutralizing capacity of these antibodies. “If test results indicate the presence of neutralizing antibodies, that means you’ve been exposed and your immune system is capable of inhibiting the virus if you are exposed again,” said Gunn. More studies will be required to better understand how long the protective antibody response lasts in recovered patients, and this information will be key for developing effective vaccine strategies. “Behind the scenes, we’re all geeking out about the science involved in this test,” said Constantine. “But we’re most excited about how this information will help with vaccine development and convalescent plasma donations, which could be potentially life-saving. Until we have a vaccine, this could be the strongest defense we have to fight COVID-19.” Tru-Immune has not yet been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization. Ethos Laboratories has submitted data and statements to the FDA for review. ARCpoint Labs is now offering Tru-Immune at select locations, including ARCpoint Labs of Woburn (400 West Cummings Park, Suite 3500, in Woburn).

Cataldo Paycheck Protection Program EZ Forgiveness Form The borrower is self-employed and has no employees; or Did not reduce the salaries T he SBA, working with the Department of the Treasury, announced the release of new Form 3508EZ for certain Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) borrowers in order to apply for forgiveness of the PPP loan. This Form is much simpler than the initial forgiveness loan application. This will not only streamline the process for the PPP borrowers, but also for the lenders that served as the intermediary between the SBA and the borrower. The lender is the one that has to actually approve the forgiveness loan application. In order to be eligible to complete Form 3508EZ, borrowers must meet the following criteria: or wages of their employees by more than 25% and did not reduce the number of hours of their employees; or Experienced reductions in business activity as a result of health directives related to COVID-19 and did not reduce the salaries or wages of their employees by more than 25%. On page one of the instructions to Form 3508EZ you will fi nd a checklist with 3 checkboxes. If you can check off at least one of those 3 checkboxes, you will be able to complete Form 3508EZ, which is only a two-page form. On page two of Form 3508EZ, the borrower must check off certain representations and certifi cations. The fi rst page of the application has the forgiveness amount calculation: Line 1: list the gross payroll for the covered period Line 2: list business mortgage payments made during the covered period Line 3: list business rent paid during the covered period Line 4: list business utility payments made during the covered period Line 5: add the amounts on lines 1 through 4 Line 6: insert the amount of the PPP loan Line 7: divide line 1 by 60 percent (this is the payroll paid out requirement) Line 8: the forgiveness amount. The lesser of lines 5,6 or 7 The covered period is either the 8 - week period following the date your loan was funded, if you so elect, or the new 24week period following the date your loan was funded. Many businesses will need to take advantage of the new 24- week period in order to meet the 60% of gross payroll test. This new form was welcomed relief to borrowers and lenders of the PPP. Joseph D.
