Although the district submitted an SOI for a new school last year, complications related to the COVID-19 pandemic prevented the process from moving forward. During the committee’s April 5 meeting, Assistant Superintendent of Operations Charles Obremski said the current Everett High School is exceeding its capacity by 387 students. “Our enrollment is increasing drastically,” he said. Obremski also said the district is planning to expand the Career and Technical Education program at the high school. “We want to add three major programs – electrical, HVAC and plumbing,” said Obremski. “We just don’t have the space to do it.” Although it would take approximately fi ve years to build a new high school, Obremski said time is of the essence to SOI | SEE PAGE 9 ׉ 7cassandra://N7PvuvazfQ3JOHwJQOAZ-fYGyc9nwHbz3t6JSiHHSAw*`̰bOM5s`?bOM5s`> PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://KfU2b_IbM1pml-gS5z5gBCTpVxi2oWIvjnbbbb36FSE `)׉ 7cassandra://9lWxuv0z95BOXitwPWzwzIt_LhSqjhnRrNHbz0dUj4wͪ`J׉ 7cassandra://R4XC-Jvddqxb7_So0DcuBCoZFeC_-sOBUyE7QMs7vMM0 `̰׉ 7cassandra://8dD7K8YUVE2XpBSi8BrxxU4A5ZYSRHJl0yarkBMGzGs <͠bOM5s`mט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://rQqpzwb9Aht08YKGzZZkM_wffI0KiiyZ74_FWMyTL2g4h`)׉ 7cassandra://JlQgBqymVOcKUng6nESgjwKstHdwzVmc3_KdzbkHCl0ͨ>`J׉ 7cassandra://ux2gQA4ImSUXkKxlvNWFUAW9y5vjAw4keuVpEN197Kc/`̰׉ 7cassandra://eoXr1NLlI_H7z9T1erNH94WepbyFd9gZChydsV0iPwUj f͠bOM5s`nנbOM5s`jM9׉H#mailto:Robert.Shaw@ci.everett.ma.usGׁ ׁ rנbOM5s`xM9ׁH#mailto:Robert.Shaw@ci.everett.ma.usׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 8, 2022 McGonagle, House pass $350M bond authorization for local transportation infrastructure S tate Representative Joseph McGonagle recently supported a $350 million bond bill to help maintain municipal roads and bridges under the state’s Chapter 90 program and to provide additional funding for several transportation-related municipal grant programs. House Bill 4638, An Act fi nancing improvements to municipal roads and bridges, will provide over $690,000 to Everett to assist with the upkeep of its local transportation infrastructure under the state’s Chapter 90 program, which is being funded at $200 million for Fiscal Year 2023. The bill was passed (156-0) by the House of Representatives on March 30, but it requires Senate approval and Governor Charlie Baker’s signature. “We had a pretty tough winter and it wasn’t kind to our roads,” said McGonagle. “This money will help us maintain their upkeep and repair them for the rest of the year. We also can use the money for other road related expenses and have the ability to apply for other transportation related grants. Overall, this money is necessary to keep Everett moving and I’m grateful to the House for their work on this.” McGonagle said the House bill also authorizes $150 million in additional spending for fi ve state grant programs that cities and towns can access for assistance in funding local transporANGELO’S FULL SERVICE Regular Unleaded $3.859 Mid Unleaded $4.269 Super $4.399 Diesel Fuel $4.919 "43 Years of Excellence!" 1978-2021 KERO $6.99 DEF $4.75 9 Diesel $4.599 9 HEATING OIL 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

State and local police take down Dorchester man at Encore By Christopher Roberson D ennis Penney, 40, of Dorchester, was taken into custody following a wild, 30-minute pursuit that came to an end outside Encore Boston Harbor. The incident allegedly began at approximately 7:15 a.m. on April 5 when a state trooper stopped at the intersection of Route 60 and Route 1 in Revere to assist Penney, who appeared to be emotionally disturbed. However, Penney drove off and merged onto Route 1 south, refusing to stop, thus prompting troopers to give chase. Penney then exited Route 1 at Carter Street in Chelsea, where he allegedly struck a car. He then began driving down a dead-end street where troopers were waiting for him. However, Penney was able to escape, hitting several police vehicles and parked cars as he continued to fl ee. State Police, assisted by offi cers from Everett and Chelsea, continued to follow Penney and surrounded him outside the casino. However, Penney did not go quietly and allegedly attempted to engage offi cers in a physical altercation. According to police, a Taser was needed to fi nally subdue the suspect. He was subsequently taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for evaluation. “We have one person in custody following a pursuit that just ended in the vicinity of the Everett casino,” State Police said in a Twitter post. “The suspect fl ed from one of our lieutenants and led us on a pursuit, during which the suspect struck several cruisers.” The incident remains under investigation. City looks to bolster Internet access with Digital Navigator Program F By Christopher Roberson unded by a $23.3 million grant from the MassHire Metro North Workforce Board, the city will be implementing a Digital Navigator Program designed to assist residents with Internet access. According to representatives from the city’s Human Resources Department, fi ve Everett High School students will be selected as Digital Navigators. They will be students who are interested in pursuing a career in Information Technology. They will be compensated at $15 per hour for 200 hours. “The city will have in-person service, phone communication and Zoom appointments available. Residents seeking assistance will call 311 and those calls will be routed to the Digital Navigators,” said Human Resources personnel. “Digital Navigators will be assisting residents with internet issues such as checking WiFi signal, helping see internet speed, or something as simple as helping someone who is locked out of Facebook.” The program is scheduled to begin in May and will run through the end of June. However, the Human Resources Department anticipates that the program will be extended for an additional eight weeks. “Since the pandemic, the city noticed residents need a more reliable and consistent form of communication,” said Human Resources personnel. “So, digital access became a massive contributor to everyone staying informed about what was going on in the world. The Digital Navigators’ job is to provide individualized or small group assistance or coaching in introductory digital skills.” In addition, students will enroll in Signal Success Training through the Commonwealth Corporation which is required by the National Digital Inclusion Alliance. The Digital Navigator Program stems from a larger collaboration with the Massachusetts Area Planning Council (MAPC). According to the MAPC, approximately 20 percent of homes in Gateway Cities are without Internet access. Ryan Kelly, digital services manager for the MAPC, said a Digital Equity Plan has been in the works for the past year to improve Internet access in Everett, Malden and Revere. He said the MAPC now serves as a liaison between local communities and the National Digital Inclusion Alliance. Prices subject to change Ask about our Heating Oil Conditioner!

He said 71 percent of Everett residents still currently use cars. “We want to bring that number down,” Monty said during the board’s April 4 meeting, adding that a figure in the 50 percent range would be ideal. In contrast, 67 percent of Revere residents use cars followed by 60 percent in Chelsea, 46 percent in Boston and 46 percent in Somerville. “We want to change the way things are done,” said Monty. “TDM is really about changing behaviors.” Monty also spoke about the impact and credit scores that are used when a new development is proposed. “It forces developers to provide what they need,” he said. He said a development’s impact score measures how disruptive the project could be to the surrounding neighborhood. According to the TDM, traffic flow and parking are the two primary factors that effect impact scores. “Above 20 points, you’ve got to negotiate some infrastructure,” said Monty. He also said the impact score is not meant to be a punitive measure. “We want developers to be partners in this,” said Monty. “I don’t want to be beating them over the head with a stick to do this.” In addition, he said credit points are awarded for things such as providing parking management programs, onsite amenities and rideshare and transit programs. Monty also said the city has received numerous monetary contributions from developers. “It’s significant – it’s in the millions,” he said. In addition to Everett, he said, Boston and Somerville both passed TDM Ordinances last year and that Somerville adopted a TDM in 2017. However, Monty said the premier TDM Ordinance belongs to Cambridge. “It’s been in place since the mid-90s,” he said. “They have a whole department devoted to this.” As result, 33 percent of Cambridge residents use cars. Planning Board Member Leo Pizzano said traffic volume has always been a problem in Everett. “Moving traffic is one of the things I’ve always complained about in this city,” he said. “Traffic Demand Management is so much more than parking. If we can’t move in this city, there’s reasons why.” Pizzano also said Boston transportation officials have allowed traffic congestion to spiral out of control, particularly on Causeway Street by the TD Garden. “You can’t move over there,” he said.

A record 906 healthcare facilities actively participated in the 2022 HEI survey and 496 of those earned an LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality Leader designation. “The Leader designation demonstrates CHA’s commitment to providing excellent care for members of the LGBTQ+ communities,” said CHA Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer Michael TOP SCORE | SEE PAGE 6 Spring is Here! ׉ 7cassandra://rdEEUCnkwpKJjSLuTKRPq0ipB82GHc0iOLn1cy2UQIU1$`̰bOM5s`I׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 8, 2022 Page 5 CHA partners with About Fresh to launch Fresh Connect program C ambridge Health Alliance (CHA) has partnered with Boston-based nonprofit About Fresh to launch a new program to help its underserved patients access fresh, healthy food in their local communities. Through the program, CHA will use About Fresh’s new Fresh Connect platform to support better nutrition for up to 500 patients covered by Tufts Health Together with CHA, a MassHealth Accountable Care Organization (ACO) program. Eligible CHA members may receive a prepaid Fresh Connect debit card with monthly resources for one year to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at approved vendors, including Stop & Shop, Fresh Truck mobile market sites and Daily Table with more than 20,000 retail locations joining the network by the end of 2022. “Helping patients stay healthy is at the heart of our population health mission,’” said CHA’s Senior Director of ACO network development and performance, Wilfred McCalla. “While our doctors and nurses do incredible work every day, the traditional health model has limits in addressing the social determinants of health. Thankfully, with creative partnerships like Fresh Connect, we are able to extend our services to provide different forms of assistance to those in need. This will help our patients stay healthier in the community.” According to recent research, individuals who have experienced food insecurity during the pandemic consume less fruits and vegetables than people who are food secure. This can lead to poorer health. Numerous studies have shown that less nutritious diets are associated with a variety of health issues, including increased risks of anemia, cognitive problems, aggression, anxiety, behavioral problems and oral health problems, as well as higher risks of being hospitalized. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with the Cambridge Health Alliance to serve their patients,” said About Fresh Cofounder/ CEO Joshua Trautwein. “CHA has had a longstanding commitment to addressing food insecurity as a social driver of health and we see this partnership as an important progression of that mission. Fresh Connect will make it easy for CHA providers to expand access to food for CHA patients and drive measurable impact on health outcomes and all of the other important benefits of food.” The CHA-About Fresh pilot helps certain members of the CHA MassHealth ACO plan and their families that meet specific criteria using Flexible Services Program funds. The Flexible Services Program, which is part of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services’ MassHealth Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program, is not a covered service and is only available to a limited number of eligible members. The Flexible Services Program offers MassHealth ACOs time-limited funding to pilot evidence-based approaches that address a member’s health-related social needs with the goal of improving health outcomes and reducing the total cost of health care for the member.

Ali Saaem was also ordered to pay a fi ne of $5,500. The government recommended a sentence of one year in prison. In April 2021, Saaem pleaded guilty to one count of obstruction of justice. “Dr. Ali Saaem showed callous disregard for public safety and federal authority,” said United States Attorney Rachael Rollins. “This prosecution sends a clear message that the attempted procurement of deadly weapons or toxins will be taken as a direct threat against the safety and security of American communities. Thanks to the swift action by authorities, no one was harmed.” “There is serious cause for concern when anyone tries to acquire a deadly biological toxin such as ricin, but it’s even more troubling when they lie to us about it, like Dr. TOP SCORE | FROM PAGE 4 James. “CHA’s long history of caring for marginalized groups provides a framework for creating a welcoming, safe and respectful environment. It’s an honor to receive the Leader designation from HEI acknowledging the work we’re doing to ensure LGBTQ+ patients get the care they deserve.” “Every person deserves to have access to quality healthcare, be respected and heard by their doctor, and feel safe in the facility where they are receiving care. But LGBTQ+ people are often subject to discrimination in all spaces, including healthcare facilities, which leads to members of the community avoiding care and anticipating our Ishtiaq Ali Saaem did,” said the FBI’s Special Agent in Charge of the Boston Division, Joseph Bonavolonta. “Today’s sentence should be a warning to others that you can’t obstruct a federal investigation and get away with it.” Saaem held a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, resided in Massachusetts and worked as the director of advanced research at a biotechnology fi rm based in Massachusetts. Saaem became interested in acquiring ricin from castor beans as well as convallatoxin, a poison found in lily of the valley plants, after watching “Breaking Bad,” a popular television show. Saaem ordered 100 packets of castor beans online, each containing eight seeds. Saaem falsely told law enforcement agents that he purchased castor beans for planting at his apartment for decoration and that he had accidentally purchased 100 packets instead of one. After he spoke to agents, Saaem researched tasteless poisons that could be made at home. During subsequent meetings with law enforcement, Saeem stated that his interest in buying castor beans related to an interest in gardening. He also made misleading statements about his knowledge of ricin. voices will not be respected in an incredibly vulnerable environment,” said the Human Rights Campaign’s Health and Aging Program Director, Tari Hanneman. “The Healthcare Equality Index, at its core, strives to ensure LGBTQ+ people are protected and affi rmed by their healthcare providers and feel safe seeking services.

The bill, An Act prohibiting discrimination based on natural and protective hairstyles – which is also known as the CROWN Act (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair) – prohibits the denial of employment and educational opportunities because of hair textures or protective hairstyles, such as braids, locks and twists. The protection means that no school district, school committee, public school, nonsectarian school or any equivalent school organizations, can adopt or implement policies that would impair or prohibit a natural or protective hairstyle that has been historically associated with one’s race. Hair discrimination remains a source of racial injustice with economic consequences for Black people. According to a 2019 study, Black women are one-and-ahalf times as likely to be sent home from the workplace because of their hair. Currently in Massachusetts and many states across the country, it is legal to discriminate against a person in the workplace or schools because of natural or protective hairstyles. The CROWN Act corrects this injustice by making hair discrimination illegal in Massachusetts. This legislation was inSal DiDomenico State Senator spired in part by sisters Mya and Deanna Cook, who as teens gained national attention after successfully overturning their school policy which had barred them from taking part in school activities. The National Crown Act Coalition has also had success in elevating the public narrative around hair discrimination, inspiring a movement to end hair bias and discrimination. In recent years, they have been successful in advocating for new laws in states across the country. In his remarks on the bill during the Senate debate, DiDomenico emphasized the need for this legislation, highlighting that existing anti-discrimination laws in Massachusetts fail to protect employees and students who wear their hair in natural or protective styles from discipline. “Far too many people, especially Black women and children, experience race-based hair discrimination,” he said. “I am incredibly grateful to the advocates who worked to pass this bill and especially our young students who shared their stories about how they have experienced hair discrimination in their daily lives. We are certainly overdue to pass this legislation, but I am proud that we are finally taking this step today and making clear that natural hairstyles should be celebrated, not discouraged.” “We must never forget how long and hard the struggle for true racial justice has been for Black and brown residents of Massachusetts, which is why I am proud the Senate listened to the voices of those residents and passed this critical legislation as one step toward breaking down discriminatory barriers,” said Senate President Karen Spilka. “The CROWN Act ensures that discrimination based on one’s hair style, which largely impacts Black residents, has no place in professional or school settings in the Commonwealth. I am grateful to Mya and Deanna Cook, who stood up and fought hard to right this wrong for Black women and girls across the state. I want to thank Senators Gomez, DiDomenico, Rodrigues, Lewis and Edwards, as well as their staff members, for their work on this issue, as well as all the advocates and allies for their collaboration. I look forward to seeing it signed into law soon.” “Today’s passage of the Crown Act is a symbol from the Massachusetts legislature that we stand with women of color who have experienced hair discrimination,” said Senator Adam Gomez. “As a father to young women of color this legislation means a great deal to me, but legislation is just the first step. In order to change hearts and minds, you have to ensure that people know that this exists, that it is deeply wrong, and that it is something that many women of color have lived experience with. I would like to acknowledge the incredible activists who have brought this to the forefront of our minds this legislative session, my colleagues who co-filed the bill with me and championed it in both branches – Senator DiDomenico, Representative Tyler and Representative Ultrino, and Senate President Spilka and Chair Rodriguez for bringing it to the floor today for a vote. This was truly a team effort and I am thrilled we were able to get it to the finish line.” A version of An Act Prohibiting Discrimination Based on Natural and Protective Hairstyles having passed the Massachusetts House of Representatives, both branches will now work together on compromise legislation before advancing a final version to Governor Charlie Baker. The Commonwealth is slated to be the next state to enact the CROWN Act into law. If signed into law, Massachusetts would become the fifteenth state to adopt the CROWN Act. ׉ 7cassandra://9VXvPBRrC7DahwvazXKtPbr6EhHV43ApWtI39nHXC8I,B`̰bOM5s`N׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 8, 2022 Page 9 SOI | FROM PAGE 1 submit the SOI. “It’s vital at this time to submit a Statement of Interest for a new high school,” he said. “We have to start somewhere.” In addition, Obremski said more than 4,000 housing units are planned to go in along Revere Beach Parkway, some of which would be located very close to the Adams School. In speaking with the developer of the project at 25 Garvey St., Obremski was informed that the development would have a number of three-bedroom units. Therefore, it is projected that at least 80 students would enroll in the district from that development alone. “It could be even higher,” said Obremski. School Committee Memberat-Large Samantha Lambert said the district had been approved for a new school in 2017. Although the project never came to fruition, she said a number of possible sites were identified. Therefore, she asked if any of those sites could be still considered for a new high school. In response, Obremski said the plan, at the time, was to build a new elementary school. “The MSBA was very good to us at that time,” he said, adding that the agency had also supported the option of a new middle school. However, Obremski said, there are now very few locations that could accommodate a new high school. Ward 4 School Committee Member Michael Mangan agreed that action needs to be taken. “We have to get something and we have to get something fast,” he said. The SOI must now be approved by the City Council and Mayor Carlo DeMaria before it can be submitted to the MSBA. the district. “They have always rendered excellent service to our schools,” he said. “Their ask for this has been granted previously during other fiscally challenging times.” Ward 1 School Committee Member Millie Cardello suggested that the payment period be retroactive from February 1 to June 30. “It seems like that’s when they really started to feel the strain of the increase in fuel,” she said.

According to AAA Northeast, the average cost of gas in Massachusetts is now $4.17 per gallon. “Currently, there is not a fuel escalation clause in our contract, so we are legally not required to pay for this,” said Tahiliani. However, she said the School Committee had the option of amending the contract to pay the surcharge until the end of the fiscal year on June 30. Ward 2 School Committee Member Jason Marcus said it was imperative to take the necessary action to keep the contract with Malden Transportation. “We wouldn’t ever want to lose that company,” he said. “They move faster than an ambulance.” School Committee Vice Chairman Michael McLaughlin also spoke highly of the company’s stellar track record with FOOD FOR THOUGHT Grow your own food.

Ward 5 School Committee Member Marcony Almeida-Barros said that early on in the COVID-19 pandemic he voted to continue supporting Malden Transportation to help the company stay open. “We paid them even though they were not providing the service,” he said. However, he said this time is different as Malden Transportation is no longer in danger of closing. “They’re asking because it is effecting their profit; it’s as simple as that,” said Almeida-Barros. He said the current letter requested a five percent surcharge until gas prices decrease to at least $3 per gallon. “I’m sorry, we shouldn’t agree with that,” he said, adding that there is no way of knowing when gas prices will come down.

Healey announced the partnership during a virtual event called “Addressing Hate & Bias in School Athletics: A Call to Action” that her office hosted in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents (M.A.S.S.), the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) and the Massachusetts School Administrators’ Association. The event provided a robust discussion and resources for school administrators, athletic directors, coaches and referees. In recent months, a rise in reported hate-based incidents across Massachusetts has presented an acute need and a clear opportunity for school and state leaders to come together and redouble efforts to ensure that schools and athletic programs provide a safe and healthy environment for young people. As part of the event, Healey announced a new collaborative project to expand programming around preventing and addressing hate and bias incidents in school sports, including an in-person conference planned for the start of the 2022-2023 school year, and regional trainings to be conducted by Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society. “Sports can be a powerful tool for bringing people together, but in recent months we’ve seen too many examples where the hate and bias that infects so much of our culture has made its way into our locker rooms and onto our playing fields,” said Healey. “At the end of the day, there is nothing more important than investing in the health and well-being of our young people. I want to thank our partner organizations and school leaders who are ready to build positive change throughout the state.” “School sports are important to students’ physical and mental health and are a great way to build a sense of community, but only when teams, locker rooms and competitions are safe and welcoming places for everyone,” said DESE Commissioner Jeffrey Riley. “This has been a challenging year in many ways, and I’m glad to see so many leaders convene around this important issue.” “There is no more important responsibility of our schools than providing a safe and supportive environment for our students to grow as responsible citizens,” said M.A.S.S. President Tim Piwowar. “Hate and bias have no place in our schools and community, and it is our collective responsibility to set appropriate expectations for our students.” “The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association is positioned to play a significant role in growing the courageous leaders of tomorrow,” said MIAA Executive Director Robert Baldwin. “Utilizing interscholastic athletics as a platform that proactively promotes behaviors that instill respect for self, team, opponents, officials, rules and the game itself prioritizes our core responsibility – particularly educational athletics, which includes sportsmanship and diversity, equity, and inclusion.” The event provided attendees with information on current resources available to schools, including the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office’s new School Sports Guidance. Following the event, the Attorney General’s Office and its partnering organizations will host an in-person conference for school administrators, athletic directors, coaches and referees, including panel discussions and workshops on best practices around creating a positive school environment and reporting hate and bias incidents. In addition, regional trainings across the state will be conducted by Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society to provide more in-depth training and equip school and athletic program leaders with the tools they need to empower and support their students and to prevent and address hate. “We, at the Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society, applaud Attorney General Maura Healey for her leadership and unwavering commitment to stop the promulgation and proliferation of hate wherever it exists in our Commonwealth and beyond,” said the Center’s Executive Director, Daniel Lebowitz. “Sport is an impact engine of inclusion. It has the power to elevate conversation, inspire individual and collective change agency, and create true, sustainable change. AG Healey, her office, and all the committed stakeholders in this initiative, see and embrace sport as a pathway to positive youth engagement, social-emotional development, and the collective community inherent in teamwork. Hate and hurt have no place in sport, and we remain grateful to AG Healey for her responsive proactivity in creating such an intentional program of hope and healing. We are honored to contribute and be part of the team.” Statements of Support State Senator Jason Lewis “Every student athlete in the Commonwealth should feel safe and supported on their team and in their school, and there should be zero tolerance for any incidents of hate or bias. I appreciate the leadership of Attorney General Healey, Commissioner Riley, and others who have joined together to help amplify this important message.” Tanisha Sullivan, president of the Boston Chapter of the NAACP “When the NAACP Boston launched Take the Lead with our professional sports teams in 2017, it was with the belief that athletes and the sports community have an important role to play in stomping out hate and bias and promoting the American values of justice and equality. Following that lead, and to build stronger school communities, it is critically important that we invest in education and supports to ensure that our youth athletes and programs are also serving as champions of anti-hate and bias in our school communities.” Iván Espinoza-Madrigal, executive director of Lawyers for Civil Rights “We are grateful for the Attorney General’s leadership in ensuring equity and fairness in school athletic programs. Hate and bias have no place in sports.” Robert Trestan, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League New England “The need for a statewide call to action to end hate, bias and hazing in youth sports could not be greater. Leadership and education remain the pathway to eliminating hate from the locker rooms, fields, gyms and arenas.” Attorney Patience Crozier of GLBTQ Legal Advocates and Defenders “Everyone should have a place in school athletics. Through sports, youth learn essential life skills like teamwork and collaboration and, most importantly, they have fun. LGBTQ students experience high rates of bullying in schools, and this bias-based bullying leads to higher rates of anxiety and depression. Our school communities – coaches, teachers, administrators, adult caregivers, and student-athletes – must work together to foster inclusion and safety in athletics. Too often lately, we’ve heard disturbing reports of anti-LGBTQ and racial bias and bullying in local locker rooms. We’re grateful to see this initiative. Together, we can do better, raise awareness, and send a collective message that hate and bias have no place in Massachusetts’ school sports.” Kimm Topping, program manager of the Safe Schools Program for LGBTQ Students “We are proud that Massachusetts is a leader in creating safe and supportive school communities for all students, and yet LGBTQ students in our state continue to experience disproportionate risk. We must be intentional in upholding the anti-discrimination policies and best practices that our state has created to protect all students, particularly those experiencing marginalization. We hope that today’s collaboration will ultimately create new resources that will allow districts to be even more proactive in protecting students through training, technical assistance, and ongoing education.” Anh Vu Sawyer, executive director of the Southeast Asian Coalition of Massachusetts “Hate and bias against members of our communities too often spills into our schools and even our school sports teams. We are grateful for the work of the Attorney General’s Office to provide resources to schools and athletic programs to address hate incidents and ensure a supportive and inclusive environment for all kids.” LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ADVOCATE NEWSPAPER FACEBOOK.COM/ADVOCATE.NEWS.MA ׉ 7cassandra://yzR_O7x63UPt5HVuV2btEhoAX84uRjMYv1TUIvEPdsY(]`̰bOM5s`R׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 8, 2022 Page 11 AG Healey, state and local leaders celebrate $525M in funding to abate opioid crisis F ollowing her office’s announcement of a $26 billion resolution with the nation’s three largest drug distributors which manufactured and marketed opioids – Cardinal, McKesson and AmerisourceBergen – as well as Johnson & Johnson, Attorney General Maura Healey recently joined with mayors and municipal and health care leaders from across the state and families harmed by opioids to celebrate $525 million that has been secured for prevention, harm reduction, treatment and recovery programs throughout Massachusetts. As part of the resolution, which was first announced in July 2021, municipalities across the country were eligible to sign-on to receive settlement funds to abate the opioid crisis in their communities. On April 5, 2022, Healey announced that, because of widespread support from cities and towns, Massachusetts will receive the maximum amount under the settlements. In addition, as the result of an agreement secured by the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Offi ce, all of the funds will go toward abatement resources for communities and families to address the devastating impact of the opioid crisis throughout the state. “Massachusetts led the nation in taking on the opioid industry, and we will lead the nation in delivering prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery,” said Healey. “Cities and towns across our state worked together to secure more than half a billion dollars, and we are committed to using every dollar to provide the services that families need.” Under the terms of the settlements, more than $525 million will be coming into Massachusetts over the next 18 years starting this spring. Of that, more than $210 million will be distributed directly to Massachusetts municipalities, and more than $310 million will go into the statewide Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund to ensure that funds are spent on harm reduction, treatment and prevention. These settlements are the result of an investigation that found that three major opioid distributors shipped thousands of suspicious orders without regard for their legitimacy and that Johnson & Johnson misled patients and doctors about their addictive nature. The first two annual payments due under the settlements are expected to fl ow into the state this spring and summer. From 2023 through 2038, the payments are expected annually in July. Statements of Support Boston Mayor Michelle Wu “Our administration will be working closely with public health experts and the recovery community to ensure every dollar of this funding delivers impact.

Tragic events like these are being driven by fentanyl. Fentanyl is highly-addictive, found in all 50 states, and drug traffickers are increasingly mixing it with other illicit drugs— in powder and pill form—in an eff ort to drive addiction and attract repeat buyers. These mass-overdose events typically occur in one of the following recurring scenarios: when drug dealers sell their product as “cocaine,” when it actually contains fentanyl; or when drug dealers sell pills designed to appear nearly identical to legitimate prescriptions, but are actually fake prescription pills containing fentanyl. This is creating a frightening nationwide trend where many overdose victims are dying after unknowingly ingesting fentanyl. Fentanyl is driving the nationwide overdose epidemic. The CDC estimates that in the 12-month period ending in October 2021, more than 105,000 Americans died of drug overdoses, with 66 percent of those deaths related to synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Last year, the United States suffered more fentanyl-related deaths than gun- and auto-related deaths combined. When a mass-overdose event occurs, DEA stands ready to offer all available resources to assist law enforcement partners, including: Interdicting the substance that is driving the spike in overdoses; Investigating and identifying the dealers and larger drug traffi cking organizations responsible for the overdose event; Providing priority access to all of the DEA’s resources, including its labs, chemists, and overdose subject matter experts; Assisting with the presentation of the investigation to federal prosecutors; and Warning the public about the lethal drug threat. During a recent call with Milgram, senior law enforcement officials expressed appreciation for the DEA’s commitment and partnership to address the increase in fentanyl-related overdoses and the crimes associated with drug traffi cking. “We must utilize all available resources to combat the opioid and fentanyl epidemic that continues to plague this great nation, said Sheriff Dennis Lemma, president of Major County Sheriff s of America. “In addition to those resources, we must shift how we respond to an overdose, no longer treating them as accidental deaths, but instead as a homicide crime scene. These individuals are victims of a greater problem, and we are committed to putting an end to these deaths.” The DEA is working diligently to trace mass-overdose events back to the local drug traffi cking organizations and international cartels responsible for the surging domestic supply of fentanyl.The DEA continues to seize fentanyl at record rates. In the fi rst three months of 2022, the DEA has seized almost 2,000 pounds of fentanyl and one million fake pills. Last year, the DEA seized more than 15,000 pounds of fentanyl— four times the amount seized in 2017—which is enough to kill every American. The warning expands on the DEA’s September 2021 Public Safety Alert on the increase in the availability and accessibility of fake prescription pills containing fentanyl. ׉ 7cassandra://HinuLMgIe9NgjAEReiABVHDAk_lnT1ok3RJ5r5eIlRE"Q`̰bOM5s`X׉EwTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 8, 2022 Page 17 Everett High’s Longmore hurls 3-hitter in win over Malden High baseball Crimson Tide in strong start for the 2022 GBl campaign By Jason Mazzilli S ophomore righthander Justin Longmore dominated on the mound and his teammates delivered some late noise at the plate in a convincing win over crosstown rival Malden in the Greater Boston League opener for both teams on Monday. The Crimson Tide hurler was nearly perfect through the first four innings as Everett clung to a 2-0 lead and then watched as the Everett offensive fireworks unloaded for seven runs all told in the fifth and sixth innings in an eventual 11-1 win. It was a solid season opener for Everett second-year Head Coach Joel Levine, who tipped his hat to Longmore for doing yeoman’s work on the Tide mound in the win. “He was sharp early and late and was able to keep [Malden’s] hitters off-balance, mixing speeds and location,” Coach Levine said. “It was good to see our bats come around later in the game and stretch out the lead.” Malden High (1-1, 0-1 GBL) matched Longmore’s pitching with some solid work from its own starter, sophomore righty Jake Simpson. Simpson was solid throughout, allowing zero earned runs and just three hits through the first four innings. Both of Everett’s two early runs came across unearned in the top of the second inning on an errant infield error throw. The 2-0 lead loomed large as Longmore, who recorded eight strikeouts and walked two, continued to set ’em up and knock ’em down like clockwork. A key play came in the bottom of the fourth when Malden senior leftfielder Sam Ortega absolutely smoked a line shot down the right field line which appeared to hit “chalk” and be fair for extra bases. With Shai Cohen on base at third after a single and stolen base, Malden appeared to have a huge hit and its first run. But the home plate umpire ruled “foul” and froze that potential Malden rally. “That was a gamechanger. Ortega’s ball gets called ‘fair’ and we are right in the game there,” Malden sixthyear Head Coach Steve Freker said. “It looked fair from where April 1 & April 8, 2022 we were.” Everett got to Simpson for a couple of hits and runs in the top of the fifth, and in came another sophomore righty for Malden, Saul Kruckenberg. Kruckenberg got the first out on a groundout to second, but then hit two consecutive batters to load the bases. Three Everett singles followed, tworun singles by Matt Turilli and Longmore himself, as Everett went ahead, 5-1, quickly. Kruckenberg, making his varsity debut, pitched out of it, but not before Everett scratched out two more runs for a 7-1 lead. Turilli led Everett’s offense with two hits and four RBI. Longmore knocked in three runs with two hits. Frankie Velasquez had two RBI; sophomore Enrico Vega had two stolen bases and scored two runs. Vega also had two hits. Senior Brian Gibbs stole three bases, scored three runs and was on base four times with two hits and two walks. For Malden, sophomore Ryan Coggswell kept a hitting streak going with a single in his second straight game, junior Brandon McMahon had a deep double in the third inning and sophomore Ezekiel Noelsaint hammered a long triple into the right field in the bottom of the seventh off the Tide reliever, Turilli. The Malden coach said he was impressed by both pitchers, including his own, Simpson, who was making his first career varsity start. “Jake [Simpson] pitched great. He threw strikes, which created contact and a lot of groundouts early. The only runs [Everett] got in the first four innings came after we made an infield error.” **** EXTRA INNINGS: Everett High baseball (1-0) was scheduled to stay on the road Monday, April 11 to play Lynn Classical at 4:00 p.m. at Fras~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ CITY OF EVERETT ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 484 BROADWAY, ROOM 24 EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS 02149 617-394-2498 To Whom It May Concern: This notice is to inform you that a public hearing will be held on Tuesday April 19, 2022 at 6:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room.

Don’t panic T his phishing scam looks like an honest mistake, but it’s not. The Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker is getting reports of phony emails that appear to be receipts for a new iPhone… that you didn’t buy. Scammers are hoping you’ll panic and contact them to correct the “error.” How the scam works You receive an email saying you purchased a new iPhone, and your Amazon account, bank account or credit card will be charged. But you didn’t buy a new phone! Eager to reverse the charge, you call the customer service number included in the email. The email might even specifically say: “Didn’t make this purchase? Contact us at…” or “If you feel you are receiving this message in error, contact us immediately.” When you call the number, you speak to a helpful customer service representative who says they can fix the problem. However, you must act immediately before the charge posts to your account. One consumer reported the following: “I called the number to get a refund. I told them there wasn’t a purchase on my account for $999 and they told me it wouldn’t show up for 24 hours and that’s why I need to cancel it right away.” The scammer asked the consumer to download an app as part of the refund process. When the consumer refused, the scammer hung up on them. Con artists also told victims that their accounts had been hacked. In these cases, the “customer service rep” asked for credit card or bank information, claiming they need it to cancel the sale. No matter what scammers say, don’t fall for it. Remember, con artists often stoop to scare tactics to trick you into action. How to avoid phishing scams • Double check the sender’s email address. Phishing emails are usually designed to look like they come from a reputable source, such as your bank or Amazon. But look closely at the sender’s email to see if it’s really from an official source. • Check your bank for charges first. If you receive an email claiming that you’ve made a purchase, check your bank or credit card account. If the change isn’t there, it’s like~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI22P1697EA Estate of: David Gualdarrama Date of Death: 07/22/2020 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL ADJUDICATION To all interested persons: A Petition for Formal Appointment of Personal Representative has been filed by Joy Gualdarrama of Haverhill, MA requesting that the Court enter a formal Decree and Order and for such other relief as requested in the Petition.

What tips can you provide to help me pick a plan? Ready to Retire Dear Ready, Medicare Advantage plans have become very popular among retirees over the past 15 years, as nearly half of all new Medicare enrollees are signing up for Advantage plans, which accounts for about 42 percent of the entire Medicare market. Here are some tips and tools to help you pick a plan that fi ts your needs. First, let’s start with a quick review. Medicare Advantage plans (also known as Medicare Part C) are government approved health plans sold by private insurance companies that you can choose in place of original Medicare. The vast majority of AdvanSay nr Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller tage plans are managed-care policies such as HMOs or PPOs that require you to get your care within a network of doctors. If you join an Advantage plan, the plan will provide all of your Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) coverage like original Medicare does. But many plans also off er extra benefi ts like dental, hearing and vision coverage along with gym/ fi tness memberships, and most plans include prescription drug ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ CITY OF EVERETT ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 484 BROADWAY, ROOM 24 EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS 02149 617-394-2498 To Whom It May Concern: This notice is to inform you that a public hearing will be held on Tuesday April 19, 2022 at 6:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room. All interested parties may attend and opinions will be heard regarding the following petition. Whereas a petition has been presented by: Property Address: 32 Everett Street Map/Lot: D0-04-000181 Person Requesting: Ms. Ava Kanta Tan Chatchai 32 Everett Street Everett, MA 02149 PROPOSAL: The applicant seeks to construct a two-story rear addition 20’ x 40’ and convert the existing 2 family residence into a 3-family residence. Reason for Denial: • The existing building is non-conforming in that the right-side yard is only 3.8 feet. • The FAR (floor area ratio) for the proposed use is 1.5. • One of the proposed egress’ for the new addition is shown to be built in the right-side yard. • The proposed plot plan indicates only 5 parking spaces where 6 are required. • The proposed parking is shown to be in the front yard set-back. Zoning: 1) Section 3 General Requirements paragraph C which states the following: C. Existing non-conforming structure or uses may be extended or altered, provided that such extension, alteration or change of use shall be permitted only upon the grant of a Special Permit by the zoning board of appeals after a public hearing and a finding by the board that such extension, alteration or change of use shall not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing non-conforming use or structure.

Medicare Advantage plans are also cheaper than if you got original Medicare, plus a separate Part D drug plan and a Medigap policy. Many Advantage plans have $0 or low monthly premiums and don’t always have a deductible, but they also typically have a high out-of-pocket maximum. In 2021, Advantage plan participants on average were responsible for a maximum of around $5,100 for in-network nior ior care, and about $9,200 when out-of-network care is included. How to Choose To help you pick a plan, a good fi rst step is to call the offi ce managers of the doctors you use and fi nd out which Advantage plans they accept, and which ones they recommend. Then go to the Medicare Plan Finder tool at Medicare.gov/plan-compare to compare Advantage plans in your area. This tool provides a fi ve-star rating system that evaluates each plan based on past customer satisfaction and quality of care the plan delivers. When comparing, here are some key points to consider: Total costs: Look at the plan’s entire pricing package, not just the premiums and deductibles. Compare the maximum out-ofpocket costs plus the copays and coinsurance charged for doctor office visits, hospital stays, visits to specialists, prescription drugs and other medical services. This is important because if you choose an Advantage plan, you’re not allowed to purchase a Medigap policy, which means you’ll be responsible for paying these expenses out of your own pocket. Drug coverage: Check the plan’s formulary – the list of prescription drugs covered – to be sure all the medications you take are covered without excessive co-pays or requirements that you try less expensive drugs fi rst. Dental, vision and hearing: Many Advantage plans come with dental, vision and hearing benefi ts, but are usually limited. Get the details on what exactly is covered. Coverage away from home: Most Advantage plans limit you to using in-network doctors only within a service area or geographic region, so fi nd out what’s covered if you need medical care when you’re away from home. Out-of-network coverage: Check to see what’s covered if you want to see a specialist in a hospital that is not in a plan’s network. You can get a list of doctors and hospitals that take part in a plan on the plan’s website. Need Help? If you need help choosing a plan, contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program at ShipHelp.org or call 877-8392675.

The package, a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds, also includes $150 million to pay for bus lanes, improvement of public transit, electric vehicles and other state transportation projects. Supporters said the funding will help cities and towns make their streets and bridges safer for all drivers and will improve the state’s public transportation system. They noted that this funding, known as Chapter 90, is relied on every year by local communities but noted that this is not the only source of local aid for cities and towns.

This and schools are usually the biggest factors in property taxes going up. Again, I believe this issue needs to be one of our top priorities at the Statehouse.” Opponents noted that the package already contains $200 million for roads and bridges and an additional $150 million for other local transportation projects. They said that the current formula, created decades ago, for distribution of the funds is considered unfair by many cities and towns. They argued the House should wait until an attempt is made to change the formula so that the additional $25 million will be distributed in a fairer manner. Rep. Bill Strauss (D-Mattapoisett), the House chair of the Transportation Committee and the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call for a comment. (A “Yes” vote is for the $25 million. A “No” vote is against the $25 million). Rep. Joseph McGonagle No “CROWN ACT” - FORBID DISCRIMINATION AGAINST A PERSON WITH A NATURAL HAIRSTYLE (S 2796) Senate 40-0, approved a bill that would prohibit any person or entity including educational institutions, workplaces and public spaces from implementing any policy that would explicitly target someone who wears their natural hairstyle. The measure defines natural hairstyle as hair texture, hair type and protective hairstyles including braids, locks, twists and other formations. The House has approved a different version of the measure and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. “Today’s passage of the Crown Act is a symbol from the Massachusetts Legislature that we stand with women of color who have experienced hair discrimination,” said Sen. Adam Gomez (D-Springfield). “As a father to young women of color this legislation means a great deal to me, but legislation is just the first step. In order to change hearts and minds, you have to ensure that people know that this exists, that it is deeply wrong and that it is something that many women of color have … experience with.” “On the long march toward justice, and especially racial justice, the Senate’s unanimous passage of this legislation marks another step forward,” said Sen.

Lydia Edwards (D-East Boston), referring to herself. “This is a perfect example of when the personal becomes political. I am grateful to Maya and Deanna and so many Black women who spoke up through and for our hair. This makes our commonwealth stronger and affirms our belief that we should be judged on the content of our character. Today’s politics is especially a blood sport so to see both houses and both parties come together for justice is especially meaningful.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes TEMPORARY LICENSE PLATES (S 2797) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would allow car dealers in Massachusetts to provide temporary license plates for vehicles that are purchased by out-ofstate residents and allow them to use the plates until the vehicle can be driven to and registered in their home state. The measure would direct the Registry of Motor Vehicles to design, issue and regulate the use of the license plates. Supporters said that under current regulations, out-ofstaters leave the dealership after a purchase and are forced to coordinate a complicated delivery across state lines. Sen. Mike Rush (D-Boston), the bill’s sponsor, said the measure recognizes the growing business of online auto sales especially in New England which has a very compact set of states. He noted the legislation will bring in an estimated $75 million to the state in new sales tax revenue and noted that almost all states currently allow this. “I [am] a proud sponsor of [the bill],” said Rush. “As state senator representing the Norfolk and Suffolk district, I have the privilege of representing the largest stretch of auto dealers in Eastern Massachusetts, the Norwood ‘Auto Mile.’ This legislation will enhance auto sales throughout our commonwealth.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes 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.
