However, the vote was later voided as it was determined that the committee did not have a quorum. Therefore, the budget hearing has been rescheduled for May 11. The operating budget totals $98.8 million, an increase of $10.6 million over last year. Some of the larger individual school budgets include $18.5 million for Everett High School, $9.7 million for the Lafayette School, $7.7 million for the Parlin School and $5.4 million for the Whittier School. During the April 27 budget hearing, Ward 4 Member Dana Murray said the city’s contribution of $36.4 million is insuffi - cient. “We looked at our children and said, ‘Sorry, but you just don’t rank high enough,’” she said. “I don’t know how we can say yes to this budget.” Murray maintained that the city’s contribution has remained mostly stagnant in recent years and was not aff ected by the COVID-19 pandemic. “Before COVID even happened we weren’t budgeting enough,” she said.

Living costs, infrastructure, accessibility to Boston, and a welcoming community were contributing factors that helped determine the top spots. “I am beyond proud that the M City of Everett was named the Top Spot to Live North of Boston for the second year in a row,” said DeMaria. “Everett truly is a great place to live and a great place to work. This isn’t a coincidence that the City is receiving this recognition for the second consecutive year.” Through a breakdown, The Boston Globe illustrated how the median cost for a single-family home in Everett is $497,500, which is one of the most aff ordable rates in the area, and Everett has one of the lowest tax rates in the Metro Boston region. Boston is just a short commute, which is something that is attractive to people. Everett also has Encore Boston Harbor and newly renovated parks and has made vast infrastructure improvements that draw interest to the community. “People are fi nding that living in the City of Everett is a strategic economic decision,” said DeMaria. “It not only provides residents a convenient commute into the City of Boston, but the cost to live here is aff ordable with the median single-family home costing under $500,000.” Mayor Carlo DeMaria with his wife Stacy and dog Hugo (Photo Courtesy of the City of Everett) Tirso Peña of Peña Realty mentioned how the housing boom in Everett was actually anticipated. He expressed how wonderful the city has been for his business, and he was not surprised that about the recognition. “It has always been a pleasure to be working in Everett,” said Peña. “The housing boom is unsurprising, given its proximity to Boston, the investments made to improve the sidewalks and streets, and the Encore Boston Harbor casino. I have tenants who live in my building that work at the casino, and they want to live close to where they work. People want to be in Everett.” In the article, former Boston resident Blessing Chitanda mentioned that she and her partner, Shawn Roberts, decided to buy a home in Everett because of the closeness to Boston and the lower rates. They also decided to move their business to Everett, and they feel embraced by the community. “We have a strong sense of community in the City of Everett,” said DeMaria. “Whether someone has lived here their whole life or just moved in a few weeks ago, the City of Everett is a warm and welcoming community. There is no divide within, we are one. I look forward to welcoming new residents in our community and allowing them to experience why our City is truly a Top Spot to live. Everett is for everyone.” Everett named Top Spot to Live North of Boston Century 21 North East                            C21Phil.com 781-864-4414    For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net call The Advocate Newspapers ׉ 7cassandra://WyqIBT-QXxkGWUMrZQmDVyul5O6xiSQ4g1w-hcXRofM0`̰`@7<;׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 2021 Page 3 City mourns loss of Kristin Fulton By Christopher Roberson K ristin Fulton, 38, tragically passed away on April 23, just six days after the birth of her daughter Lenna. Fulton had dedicated a number of years to working for Everett’s Recreation Department as well as the Health and Wellness Center. She was also a cheerleading coach for the Everett Huskies Athletic Association. “Kristin touched the lives of so many people. She was an inspiring coach, friend, wife, daughter and mother to Lenna.

Kristin’s legacy will live on forever.” As of April 28, the Fulton Fund had received $62,065. City Council President Pro Tempore Anthony DiPierro knew Fulton as an “incredible person and a tenacious fi ghter.” “Despite her health struggles, she always smiled and prayed for those that were in need.

Together, they called for urgent action on legislation to crack down on the rampant epidemic of wage theft here in Massachusetts. DiDomenico is the lead sponsor of S.1179, An Act to prevent wage theft, promote employer accountability, and enhance public enforcement, which would give the state greater power to go after corrupt employers and provide additional tools for the Attorney General’s Offi ce to hold violators fully accountable. “Each year that goes by without action on this bill means that more and more workers – many of whom are immigrants – fall victim to wage theft, and thousands of dollars are stolen from our economy,” said DiDomenico during the April 15 rally. “Wage theft takes many different forms, but they all have the common denominator of hurting hardworking men and Got Plans?

First off , it was the only time in the Tide's storied history that the football season is being held in the spring. That's due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a shift of the traditional Fall Season from fall 2020 to the spring of 2021. Another big fi rst was the debut of fi rst-year Everett head coach Rob DiLoreto, who was appointed in November to lead the Tide football fortunes. DiLoreto is only the fi fth Everett head coach since the 1950s, covering nearly 70 seasons. With all the "new" items on the agenda what was all too familiar Friday was a big Everett win, 42-12, fueled by a potent running game and a solid defense. It was also the opener for the newly-formed Greater Boston League, with Lynn English coming over from the Northeastern Conference (NEC). Lynn English scored first when QB Jessie Maggs ran for a 9-yard touchdown in the fi rst quarter. The visitors exploded on their sideline and led after the fi rst quarter, 6-0. But after the fi rst quarter, it was all Everett, all night. The Tide would go on to score 36 straight points, leading 20-6 at halftime and then tacking on two more scores in the third quarter. Jayden Clerveaux led the way for Everett with close to 100 yards rushing and scoring three touchdowns, fi nishing of three time-eating drives for Everett, two in the second quarter and a third in the third quarter. Junior Ishmael Zamor also scored a touchdown for Everett, on a 14-yard touchdown run on a pitch that helped build the Tide lead in the secsetts Legislature. He is now Chairman of the Operations, Facilities and Security Committee, and Everett residents should be proud of his accomplishment. All state legislators aspire a chairmanship position as they further their careers in the “House”, and Representative McGonagle has reached this plateau. The next time you see Representative McGonagle, address him as Mr. Chairman and watch the proud smile come across his face. Along with Senate Assistant Majority Leader, Senator Sal DiDomenico, whose accomplishments are too many to list, the City of Everett’s interests are well represented at the Massachusetts State House.

The Tide defense was especially strong after the fi rst quarter, basically shutting down the Lynn English attack until the visitors scored against the Everett reserves in the fi nal minutes. It was led by Josiah Stewart who had seven tackles and three sacks on the game.

White Sox Head Coach Peter DeSimone said it was a nice way to start the 2021 season. “Players came out real strong, made a few errors in the middle of the game, but held on to get our fi rst win of the season,” DeSimone said.

Beloved husband of Bernadette (Lupis) DeAngelis. Loving son of the late Edward and Helen (Johnson) DeAngelis. Devoted father of Jennifer Weaver and her husband JR of Plainville, Nicholas DeAngelis and his wife Kristin of Woburn and Melissa Booth and her husband Roy of Chelsea. Adored grandfather of Alexis, Frankie, Marcella and Bella. Alan was a former employee of Amtrak dedicatedly serving the company for over 33 years. In lieu of fl owers, memorial donations may be made in Alan’s name to Care Dimensions, 75 Sylvan Street, Danvers, MA 01923. Age 103, of Everett passed away on April 23, 2021. She was born on March 4, 1918 in Ochre Pit Cove, Newfoundland. She was the daughter of William Harris Jacobs (a tough, brave, hard-working man who knew where the codfi sh were and wasn’t afraid to go get them) and Laura Martin Jacobs (a nurturing, loving mother and equally hard-working partner). They had ten children, six of whom survived childhood. Armorel is pre-deceased by all of her beloved siblings who were close-knit and supportive of each other. Armorel came to this country as a young woman and found true love with Eben Davis Butt, a wonderful, wise, and tender man. Eben was also a Newfoundlander, and together they shared wonderment of and love for their new country. They had two children. Eben’s bad health robbed them of the life they had planned together and his early passing left Armorel with a young family to raise and provide for. She did heroic things for her children, providing not only the material things needed but also love, values, structure, faith, and a role model from which they profited. Armorel epitomized the old seafarer’s proverb: “When there is no wind, row.” By example, she taught her kids how to row. Later in life Armorel was again blessed with fi nding love with her second husband, Jabez Butt, a loving generous man who was a friend to all. Their marriage brought them happiness until his passing. Armorel leaves two children: Cheryl Webb of St Louis, MO and Bradford Eben Butt of Glastonbury, CT. She also leaves three grandchildren whom she dearly loved and adored (and they her): Bradford Webb and his wife Anne of St. Louis, MO, Haley Rist and her husband Andrew of Ipswich, MA, and Lauren Redfi eld of Glastonbury, CT. She also leaves six sparkling great grandchildren who amazed her, whom she also loved dearly, and whose lives sustained her as age and infi rmities encroached on her life: William, Jack, and Tommy Webb, Lila Redfi eld, and John and Emily Rist. She was also further blessed with many faithful friends whom she valued throughout all of her long life. Well done, Ma! We all love you. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in her name to UNICEF USA, 125 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038 or on-line at www.unicefusa.org, to honor Armorel’s life-long love of children.

So help me God.” Currently Quakers are allowed to change the word “swear” to “affi rm” and the words “So help me God” with “under the pains and penalties of perjury.” The amendment would give that same option to anyone, not just Quakers. The measure’s sponsor, Rep. Mindy Domb (D-Amherst) did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on the proposal. CHANGE “SELECTMAN” TO “SELECT BOARD” (SD 2564) – Changes all references to the constitution to a town’s “selectman” to “select board.” “This bill would recognize that both men and women can lead in local government by updating antiquated references to “selectmen” in the constitution,” said sponsor Sen. Will Brownsberger (D-Belmont). The modern terminology, adopted by many towns, is “select board.” 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 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. During the week of April 19-23, the House met for a total of eleven minutes while the Senate met for a total of eight minutes. Mon. April 19 No House session. No Senate session Tues.

The grant is estimated to be $20 million and can be used over a three-year period. “We all were very vocal in the fi ght to get equitable funding,” she said. “Our students deserve every investment and every opportunity.” Senior Class President Laurie Pierre said additional funding is needed for the Guidance Department at Everett High School. “I always knew where I wanted to go to college, but not everyone does,” she said. Because of the pandemic, Pierre said, many of her classmates who planned on going to college in the fall have decided to take a year off . “The dreams that they had crumbled,” she said. Dennis Lynch, principal of the Parlin School, spoke about his request for a second assistant principal. Lynch said he currently has 940 students and expects that number to increase once again in the fall. He also said 86 percent of his students have high needs, 80 percent speak English as a second language and 70 percent are economically disadvantaged. Lynch also cited other schools in the area that have two assistant principals and smaller student populations. Those schools include Browne Middle School in Chelsea, the Ferryway School in Malden and Clark Avenue Middle School in Chelsea. “A school the size of the Parlin is the exception, not the rule, in terms of school leadership,” said Lynch.
