The reminder is especially important in Everett, where preliminary data from MassDOT’s IMPACT crash data portal shows traffi c crashes increased from 319 in 2024 to 506 in 2025. Between 2020 and 2025, Everett also recorded 80 pedestrian crashes, 61 of which resulted in injuries. Twenty percent of pedestrians struck during that period were children, teens or young adults. “As a City, we are constantly looking at our streets, intersections and the areas around our schools and asking where we can do better,” said Mayor Robert J. Van Campen. “The ‘School’s Open, Drive Carefully’ initiative is an important reminder for all of us to slow down, stay alert and do our part to make sure everyone gets home safely.” “As we welcome students back to school, the ‘School’s Open, Drive Carefully’ initiative is a reminder that safety is a shared responsibility,” said Interim MassDOT Secretary and MBTA General Manager/CEO Phillip Eng. “Under the HealeyDriscoll Administration, we have made investments in safe infrastructure, supporting safer Students are shown holding a sign for safe driving outside the press conference at the Parlin School. roads and crossings and working with our communities to create transportation systems that protect our most vulnerable road users, especially our children. We urge every driver to slow down, stay alert and put safety fi rst.” “This school year, the RMV is reminding drivers to slow down and stay alert for school buses, and to watch for children in the roadway,” said Registrar of Motor Vehicles Colleen Ogilvie. “Drivers are required by law to stop when a school bus has its red lights fl ashing, and we ask that drivers use extra caution to help keep our students safe.” “The Everett Police Department and our crossing guards, principals, faculty and parents do their part to make sure students get to and from school safely every day,” said Everett Public Schools Superintendent William D. Hart. “But we must also rely on drivers to be cautious, follow posted signs and obey speed limits. Safe conditions depend on safe drivers. We owe it to each other and, most of all, our students.” “The switch from summer to Registrar of Motor Vehicles Colleen Ogilvie addresses the attendees. school routines can be a major adjustment for everyone on the road,” said AAA Northeast Senior Spokesperson Mark Schieldrop. “Reducing speeds and taking extra care around school buses, pedestrians and cyclists takes extra time, but it could save a life.” Drivers should expect more traffi c during school arrival and dismissal times and allow extra time for their commute. The City and its partners are asking drivers to: • Slow down and follow posted school-zone speed limits. EPS Supt. Bill Hart addresses the attendees at the recent school safety press conference outside the Parlin School. • Stay alert for students, crossing guards, bicyclists and e-bike and e-scooter riders. • Put phones and other distractions away while driving. • Stop for school buses as required and never attempt to pass a stopped bus. • Check carefully for pedestrians and cyclists before turning or entering an intersection. Pedestrians and cyclists should use designated crossings whenever possible, limit distractions and never assume a driver can see them before entering the roadway. Mayor Robert Van Campen, EPS Supt.

For comparative purposes to 106 acres, Boston Common and the adjacent Public Garden total about 75 acres, with Boston Common 50 acres and the Public Garden 25. Boston Common and two Public Gardens equal about the size of the Docklands District area in question. Davis Managing Director of Mixed-Use Development Melissa Schrock called plans “district size development.” Charlestown comprises most of Ryan’s district, but the Docklands District is also in it. “I’m interested in the future of the entire area and how taking the old industrial area and changing it into housing, commercial and mixed use will revitalize the economy,” he said. “I want to be helpful to Everett but also understand the effects on Charlestown just as I Landscape architect Anthony Fox. wouldn’t want development in Charlestown to affect Everett negatively.” “People want to see the community revitalized,” State Representative Judith Garcia said. “Projects that can regenerate a city create hope. The vision of what they’re trying to create is ambitious and on a grand scale, but it seems like it will accommodate different uses.” Most of her district covers Chelsea but also includes sections of Everett’s Ward 2. The Docklands District is in adjacent Ward 1. “Chelsea is watching these developments closely to see what our good neighbors in Everett are doing,” she said in reference to the economic, environmental and social impacts development will have on Everett and surrounding communities. “We got to see what’s possibly going to happen, but there are a lot more steps to go,” Ward 4 Councillor Holly Garcia said of the event. “I’m interested in seeing variety and more parking.” The Open House allowed people to see maps of the area, photos of it while the gas tank were there and after they’d been removed, conceptual maps of dense and light development and artist renditions of what area may look like, but it should be noted development may look radically different from those renditions, which was acknowledged by Dempsey. He added that the Open House was part of the public process of incorporating the area into a local Master Plan to “set guardrails.” The plans also require adherence to environmental guidelines set by the state Environment Protection Agency (EPA). The site is only three miles from Kendall Square near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and could provide space for a high-tech start-up by MIT grads. It is also close enough to so many communities; people working in Boston, Cambridge, Somerville or communities north of Everett would find it accessible to their places of work. Installation of a commuter rail stop and more bus service in the area would help facilitate that. The commuter rail stop would be on the Newburyport/Rockport line. “Public transportation is very important to this,” Davis Vice President of Development Ben Masselink thinks. Long awaited and desired access to the waterfront and open space with access to the Mystic River, on existing streets or future pathways, are also parts of the plans.

When complete, this new bridge will provide a safe, accessible connection that ties together transit, neighborhoods, and businesses with an expanding network of shareduse paths on both sides of the river.” The project is being delivered through a design-build contract, which allows design and construction work to advance together. MassDOT is delivering the project in partnership with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), which will own and maintain the bridge once construction is complete. The new bridge will provide a dedicated, accessible crossing for people walking, rolling and biking. In addition to the bridge itself, the project includes connections to existing shared-use paths, new lighting and wayfinding, landscaped approaches and improvements along the riverfront. The project has advanced with extensive public input, including public informational meetings and a design public hearing. MassDOT and DCR have worked with the communities of Everett and Somerville throughout the design, permitting and procurement process to incorporate feedback and strengthen connections to the surrounding trail network and destinations. The Mystic River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge is part of the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s continued investments to make transportation safer, more reliable and more accessible across Massachusetts. Since taking offi ce, the Administration has made historic investments in roads and bridges, public transit, walking and biking infrastructure and local transportation projects that better connect communities and give residents more choices in how they get around. “This is an exciting milestone for Everett and a project that will fundamentally change how our residents connect to the region,” said Mayor Robert J. Van Campen. “For too long, the Mystic River has been a barrier between Everett and our neighboring communities. This bridge will give residents more options to get to work, connect to public transit, and walk or bike instead of sitting in traffi c. Building a more connected and sustainable Everett is a priority for my administration, and this project is a major step in that direction.” For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 6173872200 ׉ 0s3://-AazpGUqVsCwJLshztWcL8K3TX5svjgPcZHaE9AqNxo5}`jhc_e׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 2, 2026 Page 7 Local fi lmmaker’s ‘CALVIN’ brings Chelsea story to the big screen F Special to Th e Advocate or Everett, Massachusetts fi lmmaker Altavius “Five” Andrews, “CALVIN” is more than a short film. It represents eight months of hard work, personal sacrifi ce and a belief that independent fi lmmakers can create meaningful stories without a major studio behind them. Andrews, founder of YIC Productions and Louisiana Five Film, originally grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana, before moving to Massachusetts to pursue his passion for fi lmmaking. His latest project, “CALVIN,” became a deeply personal creative journey that brought together local talent and locations throughout the Boston area. Approximately 90 percent of “CALVIN” was fi lmed in Chelsea, Massachusetts, making the city an important part of the fi lm’s identity. Rather than simply using Chelsea as a backdrop, Andrews wanted the environment and atmosphere of the community to help tell the story. The fi lm is an emotional drama centered around family, violence, loss and the lasting effects of trauma. At the heart of the story is Calvin, whose life and circumstances have a profound impact on the people around him. Characters including Mama Rosa, Maleek and Cathy help tell a larger story about family, survival and the emotional consequences that can follow tragedy. Getting the film completed was not easy. Andrews balanced production with his responsibilities as a working father while investing his own time and reCast and crew at the August 2026 premiere of “CALVIN” at the Capitol Theatre in Arlington. sources in bringing the project together. From fi lming and locations to promotional materials and other production expenses, much of the process required him to make personal sacrifi ces. Still, he continued pushing forward. That determination reached a major milestone on August 30, 2026, when “CALVIN” premiered at the Capitol Theatre in Arlington, Massachusetts. The premiere featured a red-carpet experience, photo opportunities, a performance connected to the fi lm’s soundtrack, a question-and-answer session with the cast and crew, and the theatrical screening of the fi lm. The response from the community was signifi cant. The “CALVIN” premiere sold out twice, giving Andrews and his team an opportunity to celebrate the project with an audience that had followed its journey. But Andrews sees the premiere as the beginning of the next chapter rather than the end. He is now working to bring “CALVIN” to additional theaters, fi lm Homecoming Hustle 47 Elm Street, Everett, MA 02149 Everett Rec Center Free Registration for Students Director Altavius Andrews (holding umbrella) with Reese Write, Siraaj, Flash Lato, Dae Heat and Navi on the set of “CALVIN” in Chelsea.

He has already begun sharing the story behind the fi lm through interviews, including an appearance on CCTV with the Bounce Back Podcast. The larger goal extends beyond “CALVIN.” Through YIC Productions, Andrews hopes to build a platform that gives independent artists and fi lmmakers opportunities to tell stories, collaborate and create something lasting. His philosophy is simple: “We’re not just premiering a fi lm. We’re building a platform where Behind the scenes with lead cinematographer Daniel Vera and director Altavius Andrews on the set of the short fi lm “CALVIN” in Boston. (Photos courtesy of Altavius Andrews) storytelling creates opportunity, starts conversations, and helps communities see themselves in a diff erent light.” For Andrews, “CALVIN” is proof that a story can start with one person, grow through a community and eventually make its way to the big screen. ׉ 0s3://Lyk5OmoIO6AWRdieIfUJkzlLGdCE_myCMBJPK-4-EW45`jhc_fjhc_e rבCטUru׉׉ 0s3://VDWzcqqazZ-m4kNjFPuWNKXaRgcZh9ViIs73XQRuMls`'p׉ 0s3://Gm52IE2htR15saoDbPoZSLZmdXz1MPe-CSIS7VGeSKo`׉ 0s3://dxiS_Ww37UpbE6YEKZCyY-V1H5ejPYeI9ejV7MZ5NTs9`jic_טUUru׉׉ 0s3://8YfVC4phTaDgU_ux79_aO7rlPIWuxdnbk7owjv1PY90 `'p׉ 0s3://_ZrXgVzbjonyEykMeEedlMabkXExLPVkuosAx7snt6oͫ*`׉ 0s3://KKDl1nFYhnAot9p-t4M_quDsU3HIAI6H29Hw8c6asPQ3J`jic_׉EPage 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 2, 2026 Crimson Tide football edges perennial superpower BC High on the road; Girls soccer keeps on winning; Boys soccer looks to regain winning form after losing two straight games By Joe McConnell Everett ranks 11th I in early season D-1 poll after big win over the Eaglets n back-to-back weeks, the Everett High football team (2-1) went up against two perennial Catholic Conference powerhouses. The Xaverian Hawks took them to school at the Stadium on Sept. 18 to the tune of 53-6, but they must have learned their lessons well, because the following week they won a close battle at BC High’s James Cotter Field, 22-19. As a result, the Everett boys ended the month of September as the 11th seed in Division 1, according to the Sept. 29 MIAA power rankings, just ahead of the 12th -seeded Eaglets. It was definitely a seminal win for a program that has longed for one seemingly for years, and Coach Rob DiLoreto couldn’t be any happier. “(Last) Friday night’s win was hard fought, and a complete team effort,” he said. “We made big plays in all three phases of the game – offense, defense and special teams – and the players in each group contributed a great deal to this victory.” DiLoreto knows that BC High is traditionally a talented Catholic Conference opponent, and he’s “very proud” of the way his players bounced back from the previous week’s loss to Xaverian. “Our players showed tremendous belief in each other by coming from behind twice (against BC High),” he added. Everett enjoyed a 14-7 lead at halftime. The Eaglets trimmed that lead to one after three, 1413, and took the lead themselves in the final period, 1914, only to see freshman quarterback Michael Walsh (7 completions for 188 yards, 2 touchdowns) take it right back on a 69-yard bomb to Jamauri Dulin (3 receptions for 87 yards). The tandem then hooked up again on the conversion try to account for the final margin of difference. That was Walsh’s second 69yard touchdown pass of the game. He previously found Jeremiah Joseph (3 catches for 80 yards) for a long-range scoring strike in the second quarter. Luca DaSilva then made his second extra point of the first half. The first one came after Tyler Freni’s three-yard run to the endzone earlier in that frame. Throughout the game, Freni carried the ball 19 times for 78 yards, and caught one pass for another 21 yards.

CATALDO, CPA, CFP, MST, ESQUIRE. AICPA Personal Financial Specialist Designee chael Walsh connected on “some beautiful passes,” said DiLoreto, “while showing tremendous composure directing our offense.” DiLoreto also singled out running backs Roshon Beloney (6 carries, 39 yards) and Freni for their contributions to the offense, while on defense, linemen Kamari Washum (1 solo tackle, 3 assisted tackles) and Michael James (2 solos, 7 assisted tackles) were solid on Tide freshman quarterback Michael Walsh tosses a pass during recent action. Walsh garnered 7 completions for 188 yards and 2 touchdowns during Everett’s win over BC High.(Advocate file photo) that side of the ball. DiLoreto also mentioned those in the defensive backfield like Godson Dellisme (2 assisted tackles) and Phil Pimenta (1 solo tackle, 8 assisted tackles), who helped slow down the BC High offense. DiLoreto continues to be amazed by the composure of his young quarterback. “I’m very impressed with Michael’s poise as a quarterback,” he said. “He’s doing a nice job of staying in the moment, playing one play at a time, which is helping him stay grounded in each game.Every high school quarterback enjoys a huge growth curve in their first year as a starter, regardless of their age, but being a freshman makes the growth curve even more impactful.His confidence is a key component to his performance and success. I have 100% faith in him that he’ll continue to get even better.” SPORTS | SEE PAGE 9 Law Offices of JOSEPH D.

(Advocate file photo) SPORTS | FROM PAGE 8 The Tide begins the Greater Boston League schedule Friday night (Oct. 2, 6 p.m.) against the host Golden Tornadoes at Malden’s Macdonald Stadium. Like Everett, Malden is also 2-1, and is coming off a solid win over Lowell Catholic. They have a high-powered running attack, led by extremely talented backs, according to DiLoreto. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for (Malden) Coach (Witche) Exilhomme, and I know he will have his team ready for this rivalry game,” DiLoreto said. Tide girls soccer extends winning streak to four E ntering this week, the Everett High School girls soccer team (5-1-1) was riding a threegame winning streak that included shutout road victories over Revere (3-0, Sept. 22) and Lynn Classical (4-0, Sept. 24). They then made it four in a row after a non-league home win against O’Bryant, 2-1 on Monday, Sept. 28. Against Revere, the Everett girls turned in a complete team effort, according to coach Dom Persuitte. “(Their play) looked and felt great,” said a very enthusiastic Everett coach afterwards. Odalis Sandoval and Johanna Flores were the goal scorers against the Patriots. Sandoval’s goal came off a corner kick, followed by a scramble in the box. Senior captain Sofia Arana-Quintanilla was credited with an assist on the play. Flores scored the team’s second goal from Brianna Santos, and Persuitte then praised both players after the game. He said of them: “They are both making a name for themselves this season (as fine soccer players).” But as the Everett coach said, it took a team effort to beat rival Revere. Midfielder Kayla Andrade, outside winger Connie Paz-Hernandez, winger Bella Mitrono, speedy freshman reserve Mahiya Begum and Sofia Arana-Quintanilla were also standouts among others in his mind. Two days later against the Rams, it was more of the same. “We are really starting to see the team come together, and play as one,” said Persuitte once again after this contest. Santos, only a freshman, paced the offensive attack with her first varsity hat trick. Classmate Melany Arana-Quintanilla assisted on her second score. She scored both goals in the first half, and added the third goal for the hat trick late in the game. Sofia Arana-Quintanilla netted the team’s final marker on a penalty kick. “Sofia was cool, calm and collected when she shot the PK into the net,” said Persuitte. Persuitte also specifically singled out Santos, Sandoval, Flores, Begum, Gissell Lemus, Rosa Romero and Sofia Arana-Quintanilla for their extra effort. “Overall, I’m very pleased with our play. It’s been fun to watch them move the ball around, and see the hard work they have been putting in so far this year pay off,” the coach said. The Everett girls went up against visiting Revere on Sept. 30 after press deadline, before heading to Waltham’s Leary Field on Friday (Oct. 2, 4:30 p.m.) to take on the nonleague Hawks. They will then return home to play host to Malden (Oct. 5 at the Stadium, 7 p.m.), Lynn Classical (Oct. 6 at 7-Acres, 4:15 p.m.) and Lynn English (Oct. 9 at 7-Acres, 4:15 p.m.) next week. Tide boys soccer looks to bounce back following close losses to Revere, Arlington A fter winning two in a row, the Tide boys soccer team (2-5) lost twice last week to Revere (5-3, Sept. 22 at 7-Acres) and non-league Arlington (4-2, Sept. 25 at the Stadium). “The game against Revere went back-and-forth in the first half,” said coach Rodney Landaverde. “We went goal for goal with them for a while. Revere then scored three goals, which helped put the game out of reach. But we continued to create opportunities until we finally got one back with 10 minutes left in the game.” Daniel Henriquez led the way for the Everett boys with two scores. Saymon Coelho accounted for the other tally. Arlington then came to Everett to take on the Tide last Friday afternoon at the Stadium. Throughout the first 25 minutes of this game, it was a battle, but Arlington still led at halftime, 2-0. ‘We continued to fight back, but Arlington was still on the attack, and was able to sneak in two more goals,” said Landaverde. “With 10 minutes left, we subbed-in senior Jorge Ayala to add more to our attack that also included Saymon Coelho and Daniel Henriquez. As a result, we were able to score three times, and (Ayala) picked up an assist on each goal.” The Tide was scheduled to go up against Lynn English at home on Oct. 1 in their only game this week after press deadline. But next week, they have a couple of road encounters against Lynn Classical (Oct. 7 at Manning Field, 4:30 p.m.) and Marblehead (Oct. 9 at Piper Field, 7:30 p.m.) on tap to hopefully begin another winning streak. ׉ 0s3://KKDl1nFYhnAot9p-t4M_quDsU3HIAI6H29Hw8c6asPQ3J`jhc_hjhc_g rבCטUru׉׉ 0s3://fBdK5CErGy9UZhbhuTm_sDo60CBx4TkUVWVz5a7tA7A_`'p׉ 0s3://-SHdR9Ol_VQk60CfxTE5imyvSe6GcqY1ABTx_sWFbC4͸\`׉ 0s3://FDtrTGYMZwEbthUjwldmvRDC_IiWjzlUZRzZrXhXPr0A`jjc_טUUru׉׉ 0s3://6npfJIc9z_L_oYgYvVUJdp4lfvALhlKfO5JjbHnBVfwL`'p׉ 0s3://W74F4G_OAgcSMB2GHlH0-Xcu0yRcjeKEQxhOwxyYNUIb`׉ 0s3://Rfip3ANj2ZAla5h_17Moy1eQF9xK3KQbclyC7eLG7aA4~`jjc_׉EkPage 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 2, 2026 Lady Tide Field Hockey Blank Malden on the Road, 2-0 T he EHS Crimson Tide field hockey team traveled to Malden on Wednesday to take on the Golden Tornados and take the win on the road, 2-0.

EVENTS | SEE PAGE 14 Due on Sale Clause and Irrevocable Trusts P eople are often concerned about a lender exercising the “due on sale clause” contained in their mortgage allowing a lender to call in the note and force a refinance of the property at a much higher interest rate. So many people have been locked in at 2.75% to 3.75% mortgage rates and they certainly would not want to be paying today’s mortgage rates approximating 7.00%. When trying to protect your home from a nursing home, you may very well decide to transfer it to an irrevocable Trust to start the five-year look back period. Five years after the transfer, the home will be protected as it would not be considered a countable asset for MassHealth purposes. Under 12 U.S.C. Section 1701(j)-3(d)(8), a lender may not exercise a due on sale clause when a borrower transfers residential real estate (with fewer than 5 dwelling units) into an “intervivos” Trust where the borrower is and remains a beneficiary of the Trust and rights of occupancy do not change. An intervivos Trust is simply a Trust you create during your lifetime. An intervivos Trust can be revocable or irrevocable. Therefore, transferring your home into an irrevocable Trust should not lead to a lender exercising its due on sale provision. Your interest rate should be protected. We often will ask the lender to approve the transfer to the irrevocable Trust by providing the lender with a draft of the Trust. I have yet to see a lender exercise the due on sale clause when someone transferred the home to an irrevocable Trust when the home was encumbered by a mortgage. The Garn-St. Germain federal law passed in 1982 was designed to protect lenders by having federal law preempt State law that might have limited a lender’s right to exercise the due on sale clause. Subsequently, Congress enacted 12 U.S.C Section 1701j-3(d) which carved out 9 exceptions where lenders cannot exercise the due on sale clause. Exception number 8 applies to intervivos Trusts. So long as the Settlor of the irrevocable Trust (who is also the borrower on the original mortgage taken out), pursuant to the terms of the Trust, has the right of use, occupancy and possession of the real estate held in Trust and is the current income beneficiary, Section (d)(8) should protect against the due on sale clause as this is federal law. Consequently, you should not have to reserve a life estate on the deed to protect against the due on sale clause. The downside to reserving a life estate on the deed is that if the home is subsequently sold, the portion of the sale attributable to the life estate interest gets paid to the life tenant and is then back on the table as a countable asset for MassHealth eligibility purposes. You can always cite this federal statute to a loan officer as many will not be familiar with this law. Joseph D.

Families enjoyed sensory-friendly games and activities while children had the opportunity to get an up-close look at fire trucks, police cruisers and other first responder vehicles. The event offered a quieter, more accessible version of a traditional Touch-A-Truck for children and adults who may be sensitive to loud noises, flashing lights or large crowds. “It was great to see so many kids and families come out for Everett’s first sensory-friendly Touch-A-Truck,” said Mayor Robert J. Van Campen. “Everett is home to people with different needs and experiences, and it’s important that the events and programs we offer reflect that. Every family should have opportunities to participate, feel comfortable and enjoy being part of our community.” Acting Director of Youth Development and Enrichment Roberto Velasquez said the event was an important step toward offering more inclusive programming for Everett families. “It was amazing to see kids and families enjoying a TouchA-Truck experience designed to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable,” said Velasquez. “We’re excited to build on this event and continue finding ways to make our programs more accessible to families across Everett.” The City of Everett was proud to partner with EFRC, Everett Public Schools, the Everett Fire Department, the Everett Police Department and other community partners to create a welcoming environment where children could explore, learn and have fun at their own pace. ׉ 0s3://lpZTduKFOMs70FGWCwu6gptwB2UCKPpUKoyOUCTT1f4;`jhc_k׉EnTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 2, 2026 Page 13 Center for First-Ever Sensory-Friendly Touch-A-Truck ׉ 0s3://_X33bpYhbv3MwOaSK8P3LIJHWuNMh_uWsXQ_Ggr1STM?_`jhc_ljhc_k rבCטUru׉׉ 0s3://Gme3M6_cf_7iRIJZP5czmaGPrQ0gWQaBIqW7mkxj568Ӎ`'p׉ 0s3://igcoJZTGhNKJzOiviEiH7GFho6rSk0QMZOSt12YK5bYͱ`׉ 0s3://dLyR-V0MI9aW7svzdLvY7-WHLA96KxzpmER0-7eGC7o.`jjc_טUUru׉׉ 0s3://Th9JXBxMDV4RgE0P19VzKdS4T4xoTFWA485AMr5GLFc`'p׉ 0s3://e3u2dtQOq2exgMc5L9Hiq5aO0PirDc2Wod7AL3X-5rkͲ4`׉ 0s3://1EIyG7PKbQ8IMcPe3aUrUHQADeuymJ8mHKfiJJ2K8rU1`jjc_נjjc_ ̵ 9ׁHhttp://commonmoves.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E Page 14 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 2, 2026 EVENTS | FROM PAGE 11 Shute Adult and Teens Golden Minds: Play, Create, Connect: Shute Meeting Room, Monday, October 5, at 10 a.m.; join us for our monthly senior social!

Sa Sa a Say y Senior enior Sen by Jim Miller Medicare and Moving: What You Need to Know Dear Savvy Senior, I’m planning to move later this year to be closer to my youngest son and his family. I’ve lived in the same state for decades, so I’m a little nervous about how this might aff ect my Medicare coverage. Will I need to change plans or take any special steps to avoid gaps? Relocating Rita Dear Rita, Great question. A move like this is exciting, but it’s smart to think ahead about how it could aff ect your coverage. Whether your Medicare is impacted – and what you’ll need to do – depends on the type of plan you have. Here’s what to expect and steps to take before and after your move. Original Medicare If you’re enrolled in original Medicare (Part A and Part B), you’re in the simplest situation. Your coverage will go with you anywhere in the United States, so you won’t need to change your plan when you move. That said, you do need to update your address so you don’t miss important notices like your Medicare Summary Notice or billing statements. The easiest way to do that is online through your “my Social Security” account at ssa.gov/myaccount using the “My Profi le” tab. If you don’t already have an account, you can set one up in just a few minutes. Or, you can call Social Security at 800-772-1213 and have them update it for you. Part D drug coverage If you have original Medicare along with a stand-alone Part D drug plan, your move may require a change. Drug plans are based on where you live, so you’ll need to contact your current plan to see if it operates in your new state. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to choose a new plan that does. You’re given a special enrollment window to make this switch – starting the month before your move and lasting up to two full months afterward. If you miss that window, you may have to wait until the next open enrollment period (Oct. 15 to Dec. 7), and you could face a late enrollment penalty if you go without qualifying drug coverage. Advantage plans Medicare Advantage plans are also location-based, so a move almost always means you’ll need to take action. Check with your plan to see if it serves your new area. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to enroll in a new Advantage plan or switch to original Medicare. Like Part D, you’ll have a special enrollment period that begins the month before you move and continues for two months after. If you move outside your plan’s service area and don’t pick a new plan, your current plan will eventually disenroll you, and you’ll be placed back into original Medicare. To compare plans available in your new location, visit medicare. gov/plan-compare, which lets you review both Advantage and Part D options side by side. Medigap If you have original Medicare and a Medigap policy, you generally won’t need to switch plans when you move. These policies are standardized nationwide, meaning a Plan G in one state offers the same basic benefits in another. Still, you should notify your insurer of your new address. And keep in mind that while your coverage stays the same, your premium might change depending on your new ZIP code. One exception to be aware of is Medicare Select, a type of Medigap plan that uses provider networks. If you have one of these (they’re not very common), you may need to switch plans when you relocate. A move doesn’t have to disrupt your Medicare, but it pays to plan ahead. Update your address, and if you have a Part D or Medicare Advantage plan, review your coverage and make any needed changes on time.

Known as Ron to his friends, Mr. Farnell to his children’s friends and many in Everett, and Papa to his family, he was born in Georgetown, Massachusetts, to Annie Buckley and Harold Farnell. One of 17 children, he grew up in Somerville and made Everett his home for 60 years. He and his wife, Judy, later lived in Naples, Florida, before moving to Salt Lake City to be near family. Ron served in the Army National Guard. He sold advertising for the Record American newspaper. He spent most of his career in the advertising department at Wilmington Ford. Ron loved sports and created opportunities for Everett children to play them.

A petition has been presented to said Court by, Aparicio Umana ,of Everett, in the County of Middlesex, representing that She holds as a joint tenant a 50% undivided part or share of certain land lying in Everett, in the County of Middlesex, and briefly described as follows.

At which point supporters were required to collect another 12,429 signatures by July 1, 2026 in order to get their question on the ballot. All nine groups gathered suffi cient signatures to get their question on the 2026 ballot. Although neither the House nor Senate voted on any of the nine proposals, the Committee on Initiative Petitions did hold public hearings on the questions. The committee eventually issued a majority report recommending that the Legislature take no action on each proposal. The Legislature never acted on the reports which were simply “placed on fi le,” where they died. Secretary of State Bill Galvin has issued an 88-page book via the U.S. mail and online with details about each question. If you would rather not read the entire 88-page book, Beacon Hill Roll Call will be presenting a report on each ballot question over the next several weeks prior to the election. BALLOT QUESTION 2 – Here is a look at Question 2: QUESTION 2: ALLOW EMPLOYEES OF THE COMMITTEE FOR PUBLIC COUNSEL SERVICES (CPCS) TO ENGAGE IN COLLECTIVE BARGAINING WITH THEIR EMPLOYER. THE CPCS PAYS FOR ATTORNEYS TO REPRESENT INDIGENT PERSONS IN CRIMINAL AND CIVIL CASES. This question asks voters if they approve of a proposed law that would specify that employees of the CPCS are permitted to engage in collective bargaining with their employer. It would also require CPCS, after executing a collective bargaining agreement, to request the appropriation necessary to fund such agreement from the governor. WHAT SUPPORTERS SAY: “Vote ‘Yes’ on 2 because public defenders are underpaid as it relates to other states,” Tom McKeever, President of SEIU Local 888, told Beacon Hill Roll Call. “Public defenders provide legal services for people that need it the most -- the underprivileged and poor [including the] indigent population, our neighbors, constituents and residents in the commonwealth. Organizing public defenders and support staff will give predictably for the future. Security through just cause, protection through grievance processes. Fair compensation, safe working conditions and additional membership benefi ts through the union.” McKeever continued, “[There is] no opposition to [Question 2] to speak of at this time. Our campaign received over 100,000 signatures in just over a month. SEIU Local 888 and partners National Association Government Employees are very happy with the momentum being built as we approach Election Day on Nov. 3rd.” WHAT OPPONENTS SAY: There is no organized group urging a “No” vote on this question. Opponents in general say that CPCS is an independent agency of the judicial branch and allowing it to collectively bargain could cause problems. They say that any such agreement could aff ect the agency’s delivery of its legal services because of questionable specifi cs of the agreement that might limit the agency’s ability to have fl exibility in responding to varying caseloads and other conditions. OFFICIAL ARGUMENTS: Here are the official arguments, gathered by the secretary of state, from each side of the question: IN FAVOR: “A ‘Yes’ vote will give employees of the CPCS the right to organize a union and collectively bargain with their employer if they choose to do so. CPCS employees provide critical support for the constitutional right to counsel and help ensure that Massachusetts residents who cannot aff ord an attorney have access to legal representation. Yet, unlike other state employees, CPCS employees do not currently have the right to choose whether to organize and collectively bargain over wages, benefi ts and working conditions. This ballot question would allow CPCS employees to form a union if they so choose. It simply gives CPCS employees the right to make that choice for themselves. Vote ‘Yes’ to give CPCS emBEACON | SEE PAGE 17 ׉ 0s3://r5R2mpaoSxM2Af6-sHtUzv2IgMsvkNPF2PJCV86JCLY-`jhc_o׉EPTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 2, 2026 Page 17 BEACON | FROM PAGE 16 ployees the right to choose.” AGAINST: “Allowing employees of CPCS to collectively bargain creates serious operational and fiscal risks for the judiciary. CPCS operates as an independent judicial branch agency tasked with providing constitutional defense to indigent clients. Introducing collective bargaining into this framework could disrupt existing management and supervisory frameworks, introduce ambiguity into lines of authority and create operational inefficiencies. Changes to labor relations policies of this scale could have unintended consequences for the delivery of legal services, particularly if they limit the agency’s ability to respond flexibly to fluctuating caseloads, staffing needs and court demands.” WHAT YOUR VOTE DOES: A “Yes” vote would allow the CPCS to form a union to collectively bargain with their employer. A “No” vote is against allowing CPCS employees to form a union and collectively bargain with their employer. ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL SUSPEND THE GAS TAX – Mike Minogue, the Republican candidate for governor, proposed a suspension of the state’s 24-cent-per-gallon gas tax whenever prices climb above $4 per gallon. “A gas tax holiday is a commonsense solution for hardworking Massachusetts families,” said Minogue. “The Legislature must put the people first and get this done. As governor, I’ll do the audit and free up millions lost to waste, fraud and abuse -- allowing us to provide relief to Massachusetts families.” Minogue continued, “Maura Healey’s transportation and climate agenda points the other way. Instead of lifting the tax on a gallon, allies on Beacon Hill have advanced plans to measure how many miles residents drive and use that figure to cut car travel, with a per-mile tax left on the table as a future tool. A miles-driven tax does not wait for a spike at the pump. It charges people for going to work, taking kids to school and living outside a transit line.” Healey responded by filing a supplemental budget that includes a two-month suspension of the gas tax. Her budget goes further and also includes $2.25 million to strengthen postpartum care and mental health support for mothers and families; a cap on ticket resale prices and fees; $41.5 million for the Department of Transitional Assistance for caseworkers and technological upgrades to help people stay enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) despite President Trump’s cuts; funding for MassHealth, public safety and other state services; and changes to how utility companies purchase electricity for customers on basic service, which Healey estimated would save ratepayers $610 million. “While President Trump is driving up costs with his war and tariffs, in Massachusetts, we’re doing everything we BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS CITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - To Whom It May Concern: This notice is to inform you that a public hearing will be held on Monday October 19, 2026 at 6:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room.

They note that people need homes, a warm place to sleep, a place to shower, a place to eat and a place to feel safe. They say the state is failing at providing that by allowing landlords to try to charge huge increases year after year and constantly evict people for nonpayment of rent. Opponents say rent control reduces the supply of housing which drives rents up, makes it more difficult for owners to afford rising operating and repair costs and hurts all the tenants in the buildings who depend on the landlord to provide safe and well-maintained living spaces. They say it makes it almost impossible for landlords to remove non-complying tenants. REQUIRE ONLY ONE LICENSE PLATE ON VEHICLES (SD 3760) – The Senate referred to the Committee on Transportation a bill that would require only a rear license plate be issued for every motor vehicle. Current law requires both a front and back plate. The bill was filed by Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) at the request of a constituent, Rich Carlson of Gloucester, under a state law that allows citizens to request their local legislator file a bill on the constituent’s behalf. These bills are known as “By Request” bills and do not necessarily have the support of the legislator who filed it for the constituent. Tarr did not respond to several requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him if he supports or opposes the proposal. “Massachusetts should return to a single rear license plate because modern enforcement tools already rely on rear plate scanning and nearby jurisdictions like Connecticut, Rhode Island and most Canadian provinces operate safely with one plate,” BEACON | SEE PAGE 19 ׉ 0s3://NOVgp6SMuyB4_GWv2J0ZIOJiuE40TuTxF11wiJ5DoUQ(\`jhc_q׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 2, 2026 Page 19 REAL ESTATE TRANSAC TIONS Copyrighted material previously published in Banker & Tradesman/The Commercial Record, a weekly trade newspaper.

BUYER1 Campos, Sophia I Gongora-Garcia, Felipe A Malapati, Aaditya BEACON | FROM PAGE 18 said Carlson. “In Massachusetts, the second plate adds cost and environmental impact, with Massachusetts spending over $3 million annually on aluminum plates that require energy intensive production and create unnecessary waste. A single plate also avoids vehicle design conflicts since most modern cars aren’t built to accommodate front plates without drilling or brackets. Massachusetts has successfully used a one-plate system before, and with 22 states now requiring only one plate, the arguments for keeping two plates no longer match current technology or regional practice.” Carlson continued, “Opposition to this bill, primarily from police organizations, is based on outdated assumptions about front plate visibility, even though modern enforcement tools overwhelmingly scan rear plates, which are illuminated, unobstructed and consistently readable. Front plates are frequently blocked by grills or bumper geometry and are nearly useless at high closing speeds, so keeping them adds cost and complexity without improving identification. Studies have shown no advantage in law enforcement of states with two plates vs. states with one plate.” Registrar of Motor Vehicles chief Colleen Ogilvie did not respond to several requests BUYER2 Campos, Oscar G Calixto, Ana M SELLER1 Oscar & Sophia Campos Inter Gagnon, Collin Blake Hussey Paul T Est by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her if she supports or opposes the proposal. Opponents say that vehicles that have both front and rear license plates are more easily identifiable and improve vehicle identification which increases public safety. They argue that the twoplate system has worked well for many years and should not be changed. MBTA COMMUNITIES ACT (SD 2615) – The Senate referred to the Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government a bill that changes the current law which requires that an MBTA community “must have at least one zoning district of reasonable size in which multi-family housing is permitted as of right and meets other criteria including minimum gross density of 15 units per acre; and a location not more than 1/2 mile from a commuter rail station, subway station, ferry terminal or bus station. No age restrictions can be applied and the district must be suitable for families with children.” Current law also provides that cities and towns that do not comply with the MBTA law would be ineligible for various state grants to the municipality. The amendment would strike that provision and specifically states that any MBTA community that fails to comply with this law will not lose eligibility for any state grants. Co-sponsors of the meaSELLER2 Campos, Sophia I Oneil Jr, Richard J sure, Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) and Rep. Colleen Garry (D-Dracut), did not respond to repeated requests asking them why they sponsored the bill. Amendment supporters say that the Healey Administration’s Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities is not being flexible and is pulling funding from some cities and towns that are not complying. They noted this hurts cities and towns which are already struggling financially. Amendment opponents say that current law already allows some flexibility for these adjacent communities or adjacent small towns by establishing lower capacity requirements and greater flexibility over where they site their districts. They noted that the Office of Housing and Livable Communities currently has the administrative ability to offer some flexibility to these communities and said the amendment is not necessary. They argue that the amendment is unfair to more than 100 communities that have already done the work and complied with the law; and sends the message that deadlines don’t mean anything. 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 ADDRESS 66 Wyllis Ave 69-71 Winslow St 39 Elsie St Everett Everett Everett of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of Sept. 21-25, the House met for a total of 28 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 30 minutes. CITY DATE 09.08.26 09.11.26 09.08.26 PRICE 89000 865000 575000 Mon.
