I’ll keep fighting for the resources and programs to make sure you are.” Over the past six years, Everett has seen a 28% drop in crime, thanks to a strategy combining more engaged policing, smarter data use, and strong coordination with residents. Community policing is no longer just a slogan — officers now work closely with neighborhood groups, youth organizations, and businesses to build trust and prevent crime. Everett’s Fire & EMS services under Carlo have also seen major enhancements. The City launched its own ambulance service, cross-trained firefighter/EMTs, and invested in upgraded gear and new fire engines. These investments have improved response times and increased capacity across emergencies. To prevent crime, not just respond to it, Carlo has expanded Everett’s support programs for young people: the Summer Jobs Program helps hundreds of teens build skills and stay engaged, and youth outreach efforts offer alternatives to risky pathways.

Hydrant fl ushing will take place Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. throughout neighborhoods citywide. The purpose of this program is to remove sediment buildup within the water mains and ensure the proper operation of hydrants and valves. Residents may experience temporary water discoloration or reduced water pressure during flushing hours. The discoloration is caused by small particles that become dislodged during the process and is not harmful. “Flushing our hydrants is crucial to maintaining clean and safe water throughout the community,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “I am grateful to the Water Department for their continued dedication to providing high-quality water to our residents.” While the water remains safe to use, residents are advised LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ADVOCATE NEWSPAPER FACEBOOK.COM/ADVOCATE.NEWS.MA to avoid doing laundry – especially white or light-colored items – during fl ushing hours, as discolored water may cause staining. Before using water for laundry, please check your cold water supply for discoloration. If the water appears discolored, allow it to run for several minutes until it clears. If it does not clear, wait and try again later. Because the water system is being actively disturbed, the City cannot guarantee water clarity during evenings or outside fl ushing hours. Residents are encouraged to check water carefully before doing laundry and to inspect clothes before drying them.

Moulton, an influential North Shore Congressman with a national following, announced his intentions in a YouTube video, ending speculation that has involved Markey’s Senate seat even since the last election, in 2020. While he was rumored to be considering a challenge to Sen. Markey in that election, it did not happen that year. In his announcement video Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Moulton, a Democrat, called out the Democratic “establishment,” claiming it has not effectively challenged the policies and actions of President Donald Trump since the Republican returned to office for a second, nonconsecutive term in January. “Our party has clung to the status quo, insisted on using the same old playbook, and isn’t fighting hard enough.

Markey’s age. “We’re in a crisis, and with everything we learned last election, I just don’t believe Senator Markey should be running for another six-year term at 80 years old,” Moulton said. Sen. Markey, 79, turns 80 in July 2026 and would be 86 at the completion of another term. Sen. Markey announced nearly one year ago, in October 2024, that he fully intends to seek reelection in 2026. The term “generational fight within the Democratic Party” has often been cited since President Trump came back to the White House. In an interview with a Boston television station at that time, when asked directly about “whether it was time for generational change in the Senate,” Sen. Markey said this is the “most energized” he has ever been and he is ready for the fight ahead. “It’s not your age, it’s the age of your ideas. And I’ve always been the youngest guy in the room,” Sen. Markey said, citing examples from his tenure, including the Green New Deal, climate change legislation and his existing push for a “privacy bill of rights.” Age has been rising as an issue among Massachusetts political observers, with the “generational change” term at the forefront. Markey is the eldest congressional member from Massachusetts at 79, while U.S. Rep. Richard Neal and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who was reelected to a six-year term in 2024, are both 76.

House Speaker Ron Mariano will turn 79 on Halloween, and Senate President Karen Spilka is 72. Secretary of State William Galvin has been at the helm for 30 years and is now 75. Moulton, who turns 47 this month, said Wednesday, in his video, that Markey is “a good man” but he should nevertheless move on after decades in Congress. “I don’t think someone who’s been in Congress for a half century is the right person to meet this moment and win the future,” Moulton said. Moulton has a history of challenging those in power. He was first elected to Congress in 2014 after defeating incumbent Rep. John Tierney, and tried to block Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) from becoming speaker in 2018. Markey has been in Congress since 1976 and would be 86 at the end of another term. At 79, he’s one of the oldest members of Congress seeking reelection next year. Markey has faced the “generational change” position before and won, in 2020, over then-Rep. Joe Kennedy III by double digits. Markey was boosted by an “army” of younger, digital-savvy supporters. His trademark Converse sneakers, an ode to his youthful backers, became well-known in that campaign, which was waged in the midst of the once-in-100 years pandemic. Lately, Sen. Markey has been rolling out endorsements from prominent lawmakers and labor unions for weeks amid rumors of a potential primary challenge. ׉ 7cassandra://YLboe4viLULGJiPXQRFCES62i3nI8L5cuVQhJANFKeA3`hfN,{-׉E THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 17, 2025 Page 7 State Fire Marshal and Fire Chiefs Make Statewide Push on Expired Smoke Alarms Alarms installed Shortly After 2015 Fire Code Change Should be Replaced Special to The Advocate S TOW—State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine and the Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts (FCAM) are teaming up this month to draw attention to a wave of smoke alarms that are nearing the end of their useful lifespans. In 2015, a change to the Massachusetts Comprehensive Fire Safety Code set a new requirement that replacement smoke alarms in most Massachusetts homes have a sealed, 10-year battery and a “hush” feature. This requirement reduces the likelihood that residents will disable the device after a nuisance alarm from cooking smoke or remove the batteries for use in another device. The long-life batteries in these alarms are reliable only for 10 years. For that reason, the alarms purchased and put into service by early adopters of this code change may no Fire service leaders from across Massachusetts emphasized the importance of working smoke alarms in every home and offered tips on how to choose devices that will offer the best protection while reducing nuisance alarms. (Courtesy Photo) longer be reliable soon. “Smoke alarms are like any other appliance – they don’t last forever,” said Westborough Fire Chief Patrick Purcell, who serves as FCAM President. “Right now, the alarms that were purchased and put into service 10 years ago are reaching the end of their useful lifespan. Our concern is that a wave of smoke alarms in homes across Massachusetts won’t be reliable in the months ahead.” Chief Purcell kicked off the month-long push yesterday at a press conference with State Fire Marshal Davine, Auburn Fire Chief Stephen Coleman, and fire chiefs from across Massachusetts. “Every smoke alarm should have a manufacturing date printed on the back of the device,” said Brockton Fire Chief Brian Nardelli, who serves as FCAM’s First Vice President. “If it’s more than 10 years old, or if it doesn’t have a date, replace it right away. If it’s not 10 years old and it takes alkaline batteries, this is a great time to put fresh batteries in to be sure you’re protected through the winter.” Chief Nardelli will host a press conference at the Brockton Fire Department on October 9 to promote the smoke alarm safety message for news media in Southeastern Massachusetts. “When it ’s time to re - place your smoke alarms, we strongly recommend choosing new alarms that meet UL Standard 217, 8th Edition or later,” said State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine. “Look for that language on the packaging or the product specifications. These devices use the latest multi-criteria technology, which helps to prevent nuisance alarms caused by cooking smoke.” “Sealed-battery smoke alarms are powered by lithium-ion batteries, so please don’t put them in your household trash or recycling,” said Easthampton Fire Chief Christopher Norris, who serves as FCAM’s Second Vice President. “If they’re crushed or SMOKE ALARMS | SEE PAGE 9 The Committee to Elect Alfred Lattanzi Candidate for Everett Ward 6 City Councilor Cordially Invite You To A FALL FUNDRAISING RECEPTION THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2025 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM ANTHONY’S OF MALDEN 105 CANAL STREET MALDEN, MASSACHUSETTS FOOD AND CASH BAR SUGGESTED DONATIONS $25/ $50 / $100 / $250 / $500 DONATE AT EVENT For Tickets, Call (617) 594-0455 (Paid Pol.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) Scam Tracker has received a few reports of phony websites offering deals that are too good to be true or fake coupons sent via email. Here’s how to spot these impostor sites and avoid being tricked. What you’ll learn • How impostor Halloween costume websites trick shoppers with fake ads, coupons and extreme discounts • Warning signs to look for when shopping online for costumes and decorations • Practical tips to protect your money and personal information from holiday scams How the scam works You see an ad online or receive an email for Halloween costumes with shockingly low prices — claims like “overstock clearance,” “90% off ” or “reduced prices.” It looks like a great deal, especially with Halloween right around the corner. But before you click “buy,” take a closer look. BBB Scam Tracker has received reports of fake websites tricking consumers into purchasing costumes that don’t actually exist. One consumer shared, “fake website- attempted to buy a Halloween costume- took my payment and all my contact information including my mailing address. The payment part of the site just spun. I knew they just took all my info and then a For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net at day later I had two charges on my credit card that were fraud.” Other consumers reported clicking on social media ads promising great deals on costumes and decorations only to find out that they’ve shared their credit card information on phony websites and purchased items that they will never receive. One consumer shared this experience on BBB Scam Tracker: “Sent email stating 90% coupon off all [company name redacted] items. Clicked on it and ordered items. Next day my bank said fraud alert. I called and denied all actions and cancelled card.” If you’re tempted by these “too good to be true” deals, keep these tips in mind before making a purchase.

We will continue to do everything within our power to protect the people of Everett and ensure schools remain safe for learning.” Following fingerprinting, the juvenile was taken into custody by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency based on a match in their database. “There are two separate issues at play in this situation: safety and immigration,” DeMaria explained. “Everett and the Everett Police are responsible only for public safety, and we take that responsibility very seriously. Everett Police do not make arrests based on immigration status. Once an arrest is made, the police follow the standard booking process required by law. The police didn’t contact ICE about the arrest, but ICE acts independently and has authority to access certain daTips to avoid Halloween-related scams • Research before you buy. Search online for terms like “scam” or “complaint” or look up the company’s name on BBB.org to see if others have reported issues. • Check for contact information. Legitimate retailers generally provide a physical address and customer service phone number. Be cautious if a website only has an email form. • Try a fake website checker. Website checkers, such as Google’s Safe Browsing tool, can also help you decide whether a website is safe to visit. • Avoid deals that seem too tabases and take action of their own accord. When an individual is taken into custody by ICE, Everett has no control over what happens next.” Answering questions, he said he knows many people are scared of ICE. “We have people who are undocumented immigrants and they are scared,” he acknowledged. “We try to advise them to continue to live their lives. Cities like Everett thrive on immigration. Hopefully, people in Washington can get together and get it done.” He and Strong also reported that the juvenile’s mother was present during processing, although no information about where the juvenile arrested or the juvenile subjected to the threat attend school was offered. ICE operates independently of the City of Everett and good to be true. Extreme discounts on trending costumes can be a red flag. Check prices from reputable retailers to confirm. • Use secure payment methods. Credit cards and other secure payment methods offer fraud protection.

After seeing an American Lung Association billboard that read “If you smoked, this lung cancer screening could save your life,” Denise scheduled a low-dose CT scan. The next day, her results came back: a mass was detected, which they later confirmed was lung cancer. When she scheduled the scan, Denise had yet to develop a single symptom – and catching her lung cancer that early meant she had multiple treatments available. It’s been eight years since, and Denise remains cancer-free. Lung cancer screening is a simple, quick, painless and non-invasive procedure. A lowdose CT scan takes less than a minute and, as Denise knows, it could save your life. I’ve dedicated my life to advocating for healthy lungs, starting as a regional program director of the American Lung Association all the way to my current position as president and CEO. As such, I want anyone and everyone – especially those who’ve smoked – to know how easy and eff ective a screening is. While we continue to make significant strides, lung cancer remains the top cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. – yet about only one quarter of lung cancer cases are caught early, when fi ve-year survival rates are over 60%. Lung cancer often grows silently without any symptoms, which is precisely why early detection is so important and can lead to more effective treatment. But over 80% of high-risk current and former smokers haven’t been scanned. Screenings are recommended for high-risk individuals – that includes current smokers, those who quit within the last 15 years, or ex-smokers between the ages of 50 and 80 who smoked a pack a day for 20 years (known as ‘20 pack years’) or the equivalent, such as two packs a day for 10 years. With recent medical advances, lung cancer screenings can now be conducted using lowdose CT scans. Patients simply lie down on a table while an open imaging machine takes pictures to examine lung health. Less than a minENOUGO G OUGH IS OUG IS S S ute long, the screening is completely painless, and most private insurance plans cover the test, as does Medicare. Of course, no one wants to hear that they may have lung cancer. But the head start afforded by a screening can make all the difference and open the door to more treatment options – from surgery to chemotherapy to newer advances like targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Early detection has turned lung cancer from a terminal diagnosis into an eminently treatable condition. In the past 10 years, these scans have saved 80,000 years of life – that’s nearly thirty-million more days spent with loved ones and friends. If every high-risk individual had been screened for lung cancer between 2013 and 2020, PUBLIC SERVICE SHOULDN’T MEAN SELF-SERVICEUB C SERVICE SHOULDN’T MEAN SELF-SERVICE PUBLIC SERVICE SHOULDN’T MEAN S PUBL C S RVICE SHOULDN’T MEAN SELFSER CE PUBLIC SERVICE SHOULDNT MEAN SELF-SERVICE UBLIC SERVICE SHOULDN’T MEAN SELF-SERVICE B C S R CE SHOULDNT MEAN SELF-SERVIC S BLIC SERVICE SHOULDN’T MEAN SELFSERVICE S R OUGH IS ENO C S OU D S ENO D ’ CE SHOULDNT MEAN SELF-S R C O GH S OUGO G OUG G A -S S S CE Mayor Carlo DeMaria was supposed to serve the people of Everett—not himself. Instead, an independent state investigation found he took $180,000 in improper “longevity” bonuses, which were kept hidden from the city council and the public. He even pocketed $30,000 in advance—before the law he pushed through for himself was ever on the books. “Mayor DeMaria used his position to unjustly enrich himself by orchestrating a city ordinance that provided him with a considerable bonus.”* “The City improperly paid Mayor DeMaria $30,000 in retroactive longevity payments before the ordinance was enacted.”* that number could have been more than six times higher — half a million years of life saved. If you think you might be at risk, it’s now easier than ever to fi nd out. Visit SavedByTheScan.org and take a brief quiz to fi nd out whether you’re eligible for a low-dose CT scan. One in fi ve people who took the quiz found out they were at high risk. I joined the American Lung Association nearly five decades ago. I’m proud to have witnessed the enormous progress we’ve made against lung cancer. But there’s more work to do and that starts with more people getting scanned. If your lungs could talk, they’d tell you to talk to your doctor and ask about lung cancer screenings. Taking just a couple minutes to hear them out could save your life. “Mayor DeMaria and his administration concealed the Mayor’s longevity payments from the council and the public.”* “....members of Mayor DeMaria’s administration failed in their public duties and instead took actions that financially benefited the mayor at the city’s expense.”* Citations: * Massachusetts Inspector General Report 2/27/25 PAID FOR BY VAN CAMPEN COMMITTEE ׉ 7cassandra://JLkiDXCOJ3EhxG6eIuRhpDHLjuB-LjZJf3k4JsJSsSs0`hfN,{-hfN,{- rבCטUru׉׉ 7cassandra://TNRIbgVjU2SC8NTrE22NcGuaM4M4nNxEJZjHlkpbZ_EjB`'p׉ 7cassandra://5xeHdhJi2AajVWHKehit1abvVCdkYZGhZkAF0HZCoxg͡e`׉ 7cassandra://Nw1McVWFTrxNdkhtGrIo80g3nTYUEhwjruRrJ3dW2Os7`hmN,{-טUUru׉׉ 7cassandra://gBTcULsQMLz7GdW0LnC2n28r6FkhqlBKefOt8b8sYms'`'p׉ 7cassandra://awn17sEXjVkwRvuzn4FZu4B9O1hkXAlh1_7fgFeDu7s͠B`׉ 7cassandra://7RQUSm4h_CnR89lMbssb-WxadUIuDNSpP7O79g1Gito6`hmN,{-׉EPage 12 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 17, 2025 City Council candidate Tina Oliveri Hosts Campaign Fundraiser 1801 — Tina Marie Oliveri was accompanied by her family members — daughter Cristina Snook, son Nicholas Snook, husband David Oliveri and daughter Kaleigh Snook.

The Crimson Tide started the week off by shutting down non-league Northeast Voke at 7-Acres, 8-0 on Oct. 6, before closing it out with a nifty 3-1 victory over host Haverhill, another non-league foe, on Oct. 10. Between those two games, they lost a heartbreaker to visiting Marblehead out of the Northeastern Conference, 1-0. Prior to last week’s success, the Tide dropped five in a row, but they proved during that stretch that they are a resilient group, understanding anything but a losing record would get them into the postseason. “Although (that losing streak) presented some challenges on the scoreboard, the team’s grit and growth truly outshined its previous efforts earlier in the season,” said coach Nicola Jones. “It marked significant progress for them.” The steady growth spurt in different phases of the game began on Sept. 29 with a 4-0 loss to visiting Waltham. The home team demonstrated remarkable improvement by cutting the goals against significantly since the two teams last played each other on Sept. 8, when the Hawks won, 9-0. Then on Oct. 1, Everett fought hard, only to lose to Revere by the slimmest of margins, 1-0. “We showcased incredible spirit and determination on the road in this game,” said Jones. The turnaround week of the season, despite the losses, concluded with a 2-0 home defeat to Hamilton-Wenham on Oct. 3. Jones singled out several players during that three-game stretch, starting with captain Stéphano Oreléus. Jones said of her captain: “she continues to Everett Crimson Tide 2025 Varsity Cross Country Team in no particular order: Akanksha Neupane, Shashi Pokhrel, Nathalia Dos Santos Cesario, Dominico Delle Rose, Lucas Nunez, Emit Nunez, Jeremy Whitlow, Anthony Whitlow, Carlos Pagan, Bryan Lewis, Wilmer Fuentes, Dante Gell, Pratyush Darai, Anthoid Khanal, Michael Lemus Solis, Raakin Shrestha, Christopher Portillo Cruz.(Advocate photo) be a vital midfield leader.” The veteran coach also praised goalie Wilins Julien for the energy and skill that he consistently brings to the defensive end of the field. His backup, senior Isadora Da Silveira, stepped in at times with no prior experience to make some crucial saves to keep the games close. In the dominating win over aforementioned Northeast Voke, Captain Oreleus scored four goals to pace the offensive attack. Lindsey Sylva tacked on two scores, while Dadspencer Racine and Julien accounted for their first varsity goals. The focus was on maintaining this momentum throughout the rest of last week, and they did so by defeating Haverhill. They have since gone up against host Malden on Oct. 15 after press deadline, and will then take on Haverhill again, this time at 7-Acres on Friday, Oct. 17, starting at 4:15 p.m. Saugus (Oct. 20, 4 p.m.), Lowell (Oct. 22, 5 p.m.) and Revere (Oct. 23, 5:30 p.m.) close out the regular season for the Tide next week, all at home at 7-Acres. Volleyball remains positive The Crimson Tide volleyball team (2-13) played well at times last week, but ultimately came up short against Lynn Classical (Oct. 6) and Lawrence (Oct. 10) at home by identical scores of 3-0, while also losing to Lynn English (Oct. 8) on the road, 3-1. “Obviously, we wish the results were different, but I have been pleased by the team’s attitude, which has been positive throughout this tough stretch,” said Coach Mike Fineran. “This group has stuck together and kept on fighting, and that’s a credit to our senior leadership.” Fineran was referring to the likes of captain Nicole Damaceno, who has set the tone on the court this year. “As our setter, she is involved in almost every play, and is simply a natural leader,” he said. “She also leads the team in total serves and serve percentage. In last Wednesday’s match against Lynn English, Damaceno was credited with her 400th career serve, and in this season alone she has successfully made 96% of her serves. She has also secured 50 aces and 50 kills in three years. Fineran states that assistant captain Juliette Romboli is the team’s most vocal leader on the court. “We feed off her energy,” the coach said. “She leads in kills with 72 this year, which is nearly 40 more than the second highest on the team.” Senior Amanda Verteiro, also an assistant captain, has been dynamic on defense in recent matches, according to Fineran. “She is closing in on 150 made serves and 50 aces in her career,” he added. Their classmates, Shaendra Hall and Lindsey Cherichel-Paul, have also kept the spirits of their younger teammates up. “Hall, in particular, has served nearly 100 times, and has also tallied 33 kills, while playing all over the place – outside, middle, back row – at various times this fall,” the coach said. Cherichel-Paul leads the team in blocks with 11. Aya Selimovic and Leliani Ros-Morales provides much needed depth on the front line, and both have also been reliable servers when necessary. “I’m disappointed for them that we haven’t been able to squeeze out a couple of more victories,” Fineran said. “The competition has been playing at a high level, but we also know that it’s more about our own performance than theirs. We need to execute better in the clutch, and that is something we will continue to work on in our final six regular season games.” One of those matches was against Somerville on Oct. 14, a 3-0 loss at home. They were also at home against Medford the next day after press deadline, and will close out this week against non-league Saugus on Friday (Oct. 17) at the EHS gym, starting at 5:30 p.m. They will remain at home next week to complete the season versus Revere (Oct. 20, 5:30 p.m.), Malden (Oct. 22, 5:30 p.m.) and nonleague Lowell (Oct. 23, 6 p.m.).

The Crimson Tide began last week with a thrilling 4-3 win over visiting Chelsea at 7-Acres on Oct. 7. “In the first 10 minutes against Chelsea, we gave up two early goals,” said second-year coach Rodney Landaverde. “I then called an immediate timeout to settle them down, and also to emphasize that we were still in the game and needed to regroup, while staying disciplined at the same time.” After listening to his coach, senior captain Gabriel Garcia began to pressure the Chelsea defense, before bagging his first goal of the game on a long ball from Whitney Pereira. A couple of minutes later, according to Landaverde, Garcia received a great through ball from Saymon Coelho to tie up the proceedings, and just before halftime, he picked up a penalty kick goal to complete the natural hat trick. The second half was a backand-forth affair early on. Both teams then started to become aggressive to create scoring chances, but the home team was beyond dominating, according to Landaverde. With just six minutes left in the game, Chelsea earned a free kick from 40 yards away and was able to place a header off the crossbar to tie up the game at three. With two minutes remaining on the clock, a Kevin Renderos throw-in to Garcia resulted TEAM LEADERS: Everett High School Boys Varsity Soccer Seniors: Gabriel Garcia, Lucas Rabelo-Araujo, Daniel Pinho, head coach; Rodney Landaverde. Front row from left to right: Isaque Miranda-Agostinho, Kerim Memic, Anthony Sanchez, Bryan Souza. in his fourth goal of the game, only one of four Everett players to ever do so in the history of the program. It also turned out to be the game-winning marker, but not before giving Landaverde some angst in the waning minute. “With one minute remaining in the game, we gave up an immature penalty kick, and as a result junior goalie Edwin Carbajal had to face the shot with everything on the line. But he ended up making an incredible leg save that sent the ball in the air, which ultimately won it for us,” the coach said. Two days later at Rivergreen, Revere, one of the top teams in the Greater Boston League (GBL), was able to beat the home team, 3-1. “(The Patriots) took the early lead, but it did not detour us,” said Landaverde. “Our midfielders and defensemen were holding down the lines, while combining really well to create scoring chances all game long.” Still trailing 1-0 midway through the game, the Tide continued to challenge the visitors from the Beach City, and with 16 minutes remaining in the game junior captain Rene Lainez sent a through ball to freshman Miguel Santos, who accounted for the game tying goal. But Revere was able to get it right back on another set play to regain the lead. They then added the all-important insurance tally that secured the victory. It was then off to Dorchester, where they took on nonleague BC High last Saturday, Oct. 11. The Eaglets were able to be beat the Everett boys in a close game, 2-0. “It was a very tense matchup against the fourth-ranked team in Division 1,” said Landaverde. “We traveled with a small squad, but still were able to create many scoring chances.” BC High scored its first goal on a long throw-in, but as it turned out, it was the only clear shot they had on net. Everett junior goalie Diego Teixeria was able to hold his own throughout the majority of the game. Landaverde also singled out Kevin Renderos, who played solidly, along with sophomore Jason Santos, who was credited with strong tackles that made it tough on the host team to generate any offense. With 15 minutes left, BC High had a chance in the box and didn’t waste it to account for its second score. The Tide since then returned home for Senior Night against Lynn English at Rivergreen on Oct. 14. They then headed to Lynn’s Manning Field to face the Lynn Classical Rams two nights later. Both games took place after press deadline. The regular season comes to an end next week on the road against Somerville (Oct. 21) and Medford (Oct. 23). Both games are scheduled to begin at 4:15 p.m. ׉ 7cassandra://ujJ63vu1VlL6L6k1vqlC-6ndmiE4lfCpCWWlU8XWBN87R`hfN,{-ƁhfN,{-Ł rבCטUru׉׉ 7cassandra://MnlsyDnCIukX5oEJMu396cH15be-Rhilkd33ZhfsDdIX`'p׉ 7cassandra://74FmhastuYQJc-TP2nmX5p9yFgrxi2wd1v5DKX7IBhoX`׉ 7cassandra://WOl5hYRHXyKTFYESKDncA-Umx__rXsgaXJvjoYmR1iI5`hoN,{.טUUru׉׉ 7cassandra://elKDOq8MSY2SguvmwRmMInn0CBBWsx3_QTDtZ6H8TZs2`'p׉ 7cassandra://TRaDUhEpyNUPRpsYvCyMBkiuvFmHHIUaf37x3OAzY1I͹`׉ 7cassandra://7uUczkH8VtmO7r72fhqQX0xM-RJNAmmYBK6kzW3vMYU3`hoN,{.נhoN,{. 4̆9׉Hhttp://www.perkins.orgGׁ ׁ rנhoN,{. )-9׉Hhttps://www.komen.org/Gׁ ׁ rנhoN,{.v́P9׉Hhttps://www.komen.org/Gׁ ׁ rנhpN,{.vсS9ׁHhttp://komen.orgׁ ׁ ЈנhpN,{.̨y 9ׁHhttp://neralHome.comׁ ׁ ЈנhpN,{.̒̋ 9ׁHhttp://www.Roׁ ׁ ЈנhpN,{.8̆9ׁHhttp://www.perkins.orgׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 22 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 17, 2025 ~ Everett Public Libraries Calendar of Events ~ October 20–25 Parlin Adult and Teens Gaming Club: Parlin YA Room, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3 p.m.; join us for board games and video games at the library!

They understand they need a sense of urgency in the final few games of the regular season. “We backed ourselves into a corner, but one thing I know about this team is that when their backs are against the wall they start fighting (for every possession),” said Persuitte. “It’s going to be a tough, long process, but I have faith in these girls that they will turn it around and hopefully make it SPORTS | SEE PAGE 23 ׉ 7cassandra://WOl5hYRHXyKTFYESKDncA-Umx__rXsgaXJvjoYmR1iI5`hfN,{-׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 17, 2025 Page 23 SPORTS | FROM PAGE 22 to the tournament.” Following the win over the Bulldogs, the Everett girls took on visiting Lynn Classical on Oct. 16 after press deadline, before heading to Revere on Monday night (Oct. 20) to face the Patriots at 7 p.m. They will then come right home to go up against Somerville the very next day at 7-Acres, beginning at 4:15 p.m. Cross-country teams take on league rival Revere T he boy s ’ and g ir ls ’ cross-country teams had mixed results in the meet against host Revere last week at the Belle Isle Reservation on Oct. 8. The Everett boys’ (4-1) won going away, 18-40, while the girls’ (0-5) dropped a 15-50 decision. In the girls’ race, senior captain Akanksha Neupane (22:15) led her teammates across the finish line with a third-place finish. The Everett boys dominated the Patriots, taking six of the top seven places, led by senior captains Lucas Nunez (17:19) and Jeremy Whitlow (17:57), who topped the ticket with first and second place finishes, respectively. As a result of his firstplace finish, Nunez remains undefeated in the Greater Boston League. Following Nunez and Whitlow across the finish line were teammates Chris Portillo (18:40, fourth), Anthony Whitlow (19:00, fifth), Wilmer Fuentas (19:10, sixth), Dominico Delle Rose (19:12, seventh), Carlos Pagan (19:28, eighth), Pratyush Darai (20:55, 10th Shrestha (20:56, 11th Khanal (21:00, 12th is (21:42, 13th (22:05, 14th ), Raakin ), Anthoid ), Bryan Lewharjan (24:24, 18th ), Michael Lemus ) and Brasesh Ma).

When state spending increases by billions year after year, even small, reasonable cuts become politically impossible.

Override supporters said the cut will hurt the Bureau of Substance Addiction Services which oversees the statewide system of prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery support services for individuals, families and communities aff ected by substance addiction. In her veto message, Gov. Healey said, “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary to support continued programming.

Override supporters said the $1,530,735 cut will hurt this program which helps infants and toddlers (from birth to 3 years old) who have developmental delays or are at risk of a developmental delay.

Joseph McGonagle Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL SUNSCREEN LOTION (H 600) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would allow any person, including students, parents and school personnel, to possess and use a topical sunscreen product without a physician’s note or prescription while on school property or at a school-related event or activity, to avoid overexposure to the sun. “Exposure to sun during childhood and adolescence is a signifi cant risk factor for skin cancer later in life,” said sponsor Rep. Kate Hogan (D-Stow). “Regular use of sunscreen substantially reduces the risk associated with the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Outdated policies treat sunscreen as an over-the-counter medication requiring medical authorization. This antiquated policy creates barriers to a basic, preventative health practice.” Hogan continued, “[My bill] ensures that sunscreen is not to be treated as medication for the purposes of school policy and that sunscreen can be used, without imposing on school staff . The bill also gives school districts the opportunity to incorporate sun safety education into their wellness efforts, which will foster lifelong healthy habits. This legislation is particularly important as outdoor school activities such as recess, athletics, fi eld days and fi eld trips expose students to the sun. Enabling access to sunscreen is a common sense and evidence-based step that supports student health.” EMPLOYMENT PROTECTION FOR ABUSE VICTIMS (H 2143/S 1294) – The House gave initial approval to a proposal that would prohibit discrimination against an employee based on their status as a victim of abusive behavior. The measure requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to ensure employees are able to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and address the situation, while remaining productive in the workplace. “I fi led this legislation because Massachusetts needs stronger employment protections for individuals in the commonwealth who are either experiencing abusive behavior or have a family member experiencing abuse,” said Senate Majority Leader Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton), the Senate sponsor of the bill. “The reforms included in this bill will help ensure victims of abuse and their family members are not unfairly penalized in the workplace for requesting reasonable accommodations to protect themselves or a loved one from a dangerous situation.” Rep. Jay Livingstone (D-Boston), the House sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll asking him why he filed the measure and how he feels about its approval. BAN MASK USE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT (HD 4886) – Rep. Jim Hawkins (D-Attleboro) has fi led a bill that would prohibit police and other law enforcement offi - cers from wearing masks or personal disguises while interacting with the public in the performance of their duties. The measure was referred to the Judiciary Committee and the date for a public hearing on the proposal has not yet been set. “Reports are on the rise and becoming increasingly alarming of masked, non-identifying individuals and groups approaching and disappearing people throughout the country,” said Hawkins. “This behavior erodes public trust, which ultimately puts everyone, including law enforcement offi cers, at risk. It’s unscrupulous, unethical and leads to further threats to democracy, deeply harming our communities. The traumatic experience of unwarranted and aggressive approaches by masked strangers, especially for women and girls, has proven terrifying. Often, they are in unmarked vehicles, stalking our neighborhoods and failing to produce a valid judicial warrant or explanation.” Hawkins continued , “Spokespersons for ICE and the current administration have tried to frame our bill as an attempt to grant sanctuary to dangerous criminals and intentionally put law enforcement personnel in harm’s way. The truth is contrary. This bill is a step toward mending the divide and fostering trust between law enforcement offi cers and the public. With transparency, identifi cation and reason, there should be no need for disguises while performing their duties to the communities they serve.” RENAME COLUMBUS DAY (S 2113) – A bill fi led by Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton) would designate the second Monday in October, now known as Columbus Day, as Indigenous Peoples Day and recommend appropriate exercises in schools to acknowledge the history of genocide and discrimination against Indigenous people. The State Administration Committee held a hearing on the proposal on June 4 but has not yet taken action on the measure. This year, Columbus Day is on October 13 so any name change, if approved, would have to wait until 2026 to take eff ect. “Christopher Columbus did not discover the Americas,” says Comerford. “That long-perpetuated myth — rooted in racism and violence — has allowed generations to credit a European man with discovering a land BEACON | SEE PAGE 26 Sa nr Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller Is Long-Term Care Insurance Worth It? Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I have been thinking about getting a longterm care insurance policy, but we hate the idea of paying expensive monthly premiums for a policy we may never use. Is long-term care insurance worth it? Approaching Retirement Dear Approaching, There are two key factors you need to consider that can help you determine if purchasing a long-term care (LTC) insurance policy is a smart decision for you and your husband. One factor is your fi nancial situation and second is your health history. Currently, around 7.5 million Americans own a policy. Who Needs LTC Insurance? As the cost of LTC – which includes nursing home, assisted living and in-home care – continues to rise, it’s important to know that most people pay for LTC either from personal savings or Medicaid when their savings is depleted, or through a LTC insurance policy. National median average costs for nursing home care today is over $100,000 a year, according to the Genworth Cost of Care survey. Assisted living facilities and home care aides average more than $65,000/year. While national statistics show that about 70 percent of Americans 65 and older will need some kind of LTC, the fact is, many people don’t need to purchase LTC insurance. The reasons stem from a range of factors, including the fact that relatively few people have enough wealth to protect to make purchasing a policy worthwhile. Another important factor is that most seniors who need LTC only need it for a short period of time, for example, when they’re recovering from surgery. For those people, Medicare covers in-home health care and nursing home stays of 100 days or less following a hospital stay of more than 3 consecutive days. So, who should consider buying a policy? LTC insurance make the most sense for people who have investable assets of $500,000 to around $2 million that they want to protect. Anything less, and you will likely deplete your resources and go on Medicaid for LTC coverage. Anything more, and you can probably aff ord to pay for care yourself. Another factor to weigh is your personal health and family health history. The two most common reasons seniors need extended long-term care is because of dementia and/or disability. And, almost half of all people who live in nursing homes are 85 years or older. So, what’s your family history for Alzheimer’s, stroke or some other disabling health condition, and do you have a family history of longevity? You also need to factor in gender too. Because women tend to live longer than men, they are at greater risk of needing extended LTC. Choosing LTC Coverage After evaluating your situation, if you’re leaning towards buying a LTC policy, be aware that premiums can vary widely. According to the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, premiums for a policy bought by a couple who are both age 65 for a benefi t pool of $165,000 each, with a 3 percent infl ation rider, ranged from $7,137 to $8,493 a year. You can buy LTC insurance from an insurance company or through an agent. Or you might also be able to buy a policy at work. Be sure to get quotes from several sources for the same coverage to compare prices. There are two main types of long-term care coverage you’ll want to consider. Traditional LTC insurance, which is “use it or lose it.” And hybrid policies that combine LTC coverage with life-insurance benefi ts. These policies promise that if you don’t end up needing long-term care, your benefi ciaries will receive a death benefi t. Both types of policies require medical underwriting to qualify. Another hybrid product to consider is an income annuity that includes a provision to increase your payout if you need LTC. However, the payout may not cover the full cost of care, and the added cost of this provision, known as a rider, can reduce the standard payout from the annuity.

All interested parties may attend and opinions will be heard regarding the following petition. Whereas a petition has been presented by: Property Address: Map/Parcel: Property Owner: 39 Walnut Street Everett, MA 02149 B0-04-000032 Ms. Paulina Vaca 39 Walnut Street Everett, MA 02149 ~ Legal Notice ~ Proposal: The applicant seeks to convert the existing one (1) family residence built approximately in 1907 into a two (2) Family. Reason for Denial: Permit was denied in accordance with the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance as follows: • The Everett Zoning Ordinance, Section 4(B)(2)b, requires 7,000 s.f. of lot area for a two- family dwelling. Accordingly, the 3,592 s.f. lot is currently nonconforming as to area. • Pursuant to Section 17.A.1 of the Zoning Ordinance, the new two-unit residential use would require four (4) parking spaces. • Section 17. J: Parking facilities shall be designed so that each motor vehicle may proceed to and from the parking space provided for it without requiring the moving of any other motor vehicle. Therefore, the property is nonconforming as to parking requirements, and your proposal will increase this nonconformity. The Board of Appeals, however, may by special permit modify this requirement. Pursuant to Section 3(F) of the Zoning Ordinance, or participate in the Transportation Demand Management program under Section 35 of the Zoning Ordinance.
