The station will also allow for more low-density housing to be constructed without having to worry about parking. “The vision is for buildings to be built without cars,” said DeMaria. “We cannot build more parking, it’s too congested.” State Representative Joseph McGonagle said the Bond Bill is currently funded at $18 billion. “It’s bigger than all of us; we’ve been fighting for this,” he said, adding that the Bond Bill will be voted on during the current legislative session, and “It’s a historic day in the city of Everett; it’s going to transform the whole area.” McGonagle also said the station will bring in new residents who will need a place to live. “It’s a wraparound effect – we need to build more housing,” he said.

E SERVPRO cleaning specialists in the Everett area share common sense precautions for controlling the flu virus According to the CDC, nearly VERETT – Flu season is here, and it’s often marked by the offer of free flu shots in neighborhood pharmacies and stores across the country. SERVPRO cleaning pros in the Everett area – experts in cleaning and sanitizing building materials, surfaces, and contents after fire, water or natural disasters – remind home and business owners how important it is to step-up routine cleaning efforts during this time of year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flu virus can remain viable on surfaces for up to 48 hours. Cleaning surfaces and objects that are frequently touched minimizes the likelihood of contacting the flu virus when you touch an infected surface. 15 percent of the U.S. population suffered from the flu in 2018. More than 950,000 people were hospitalized, and almost 80,000 people died from flu complications, making 2018 the most severe flu season since 2009. “As an emergency response company, we understand the hidden danger of contaminated surfaces in a workplace or home,” said Servpro Industries, LLC CEO Rick Isaacson. “This time of year, the flu virus can be a ‘hidden danger’ at home, at work and in the community. It is a serious illness, and we want our friends and neighbors in the Everett area to take it seriously.” The CDC recommends the following to help protect yourself or your loved ones from contracting the flu: 1. Get vaccinated. The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccination as the first and most important protection against this serious virus. 2. Thoroughly wash your hands (20 seconds or more with soap and water) or sanitize them frequently throughout the day, even if you are not infected, to help protect yourself and others. 3. Beware of frequently touched surfaces, like handrails and doorknobs. Keep them clean at home using a bleach and water solution and clean your hands as soon as possible if you must touch them in public. If you or a family member comes down with the flu despite these precautions, keep in mind that the flu spreads primarily through droplets from a sick person when they cough, sneeze or talk. With that in mind, the CDC offers the following guidelines to help control the spread of the disease: 1. Stay home and keep your distance. Infected droplets from a sick person’s nose or mouth can travel up to six feet and land in the noses and mouths of people nearby, exposing them to the illness. 2. Wait until you are fever free – without medications – for at least 24 hours before returning to school, work or normal activities. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your sleeve or elbow when you cough or sneeze. Dispose of the tissue and clean your hands with soap or a sanitizer with 60 percent alcohol. There is no such thing as a foolproof flu protection plan, says Isaacson, but frequent handwashing and conscientious cleaning practices at home, work and in the community are precautions everyone can practice to help keep them and their loved ones healthy.

The Broadway bus lane was so successful that week that we quickly made it permanent and it has operated nearly every day since. Successful because over half of all people moving down Broadway during rush hour are on a bus and more Everett residents are on a bus during those hours than are in cars on Broadway. We were the first City in the Boston region to give priority to bus riders in this way. With a half dozen projects in Boston, Cambridge, Arlington and Somerville launching since then, Everett started a revolution. Cities from around the country and beyond have looked to us for guidance with their own similar projects. But what we really did that morning was to no longer look at our transportation problems as a congestion problem, but a MOBILITY problem. Because, after all, whether you’re trying to get to work, to school, or to your favorite lunch or coffee spot, what’s most important is your ability to get there quickly and efficiently, not whether you drove, rode a bike, walked, or took the bus. Using mobility as a lens we are continuing to lead the way locally and regionally. The success of the Broadway bus lane is now developing into a vision and action plan to develop gold standard Bus Rapid Transit all the way down Broadway. Fast frequent bus service running in unobstructed lanes from Malden to downtown Boston. My own advocacy with Mayor Walsh in Boston on this issue has led to a commitment for inclusion of bus lanes on Rutherford Avenue in Charlestown as part of a major reconstruction effort beginning next year. In Everett, we’re working with MassDOT and Encore Boston Harbor to include dedicated bus lanes through Sweetser Circle and down Lower Broadway as part of future redevelopment efforts. We’re also beginning design this winter on an extension of the Silver Line bus rapid transit system from Chelsea through Everett to Sullivan Square. Commutes that today take 45 minutes or more from Everett to Boston would be reduced to as little as 15 minutes. Regional advocacy is key.

Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo was a 20-year Metro Credit Union employee whose life was cut short due to domestic violence in December 2018. Her estranged husband, Emilio, was charged with shooting her to death inside her car in the driveway. The money raised went toward HarborCOV, the Ersilia Cataldo Memorial Fund by Kiwanis, and Portal to Hope. These organizations, located in Everett and Chelsea, provide services to people whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence. The Keynote Speaker was Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. Mayor Carlo DeMaria and wife Stacy DeMaria, Everett Kiwanis Club President Rafael Santos, Metro Credit Union President/CEO Robert Cashman, HarborCOV Co-Executive Director Khourou Pich, daughter, Amata Matarazzo, father, Giuseppe Cataldo, son, Carmine Matarazzo, and son, Giuseppe Matarazzo.

Ersilia’s family: Sister Adriana Carbo, sister Maria Pagliuca, sister Erminia Buscaino, brother, Anthony Cataldo, sister, Tricia LaRocca, sister, Gina Maniscalco, and sister, Giuseppina Cerasuolo. Master of Ceremonies Saritin Rizzuto said that Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo will never be forgotten and that she did great things for the community. Ersilia was a fellow employee at Metro Credit Union. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, U.S. Representative, said as a child of a domestic violence survivor that ‘We see you, we believe you, and it’s not your fault’ Mayor Carlo DeMaria said her cousin, Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo was a bright light in the city and one of their own. Metro Credit Union President/ CEO Robert Cashman, who exchanged holiday gifts for approximately 20 years with Ersilia, said she was proud of her children and bought life to everyone, always smiling. St. Anthony’s Church Father Olmos Milani led a moment of silence for Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo.

Domenic, Angelo and James all served during the Korean War with the youngest brother, Peter, serving in the late 50s.” State Senator Sal DiDomenico spoke about his grandfather, who was among the tens of thousands of American soldiers to storm the coast of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. DiDomenico said his grandfather still had the bravery to move up the beach even after seeing the men on either side of him get killed. However, the events of that fateful day were never discussed in the years after the war; DiDomenico said it was not until his grandfather’s wake that he learned the full gravity of his involvement in D-Day. “People from around the world see our servicemen and women coming into their communities with an American flag on their arm and they know all Angelo Colameta (center) is joined by his family, Everett Fire Chief Anthony Carli, US Army Command Sergeant Major Thomas Ardita, Major Katherine Murphy and Mayor Carlo DeMaria during this year’s Veterans Day ceremony at the Connolly Center. (Advocate Photo by Katy Rogers) is going to be well,” said DiDomenico. Although Massachusetts provides more veterans services than any other state in the country, DiDomenico said, there is always room for improvement. “Our fight does not end now, our veterans deserve more,” he said. “They fought for us every single day.” During her keynote address, Major Katherine Murphy said all veterans are comrades regardless of when they served. “We will always share an unbreakable bond,” she said. “Thank you all for serving honorably at home and abroad.” She also agreed with DiDomenico in that greater efforts are needed to prevent veterans’ homelessness and helping them find jobs after returning home. State Representative Joseph McGonagle said money is now in the state budget for female veterans and veterans’ housing, adding that the state has invested $190 million in the longterm care facility at the Soldiers’ Home in Chelsea. McGonagle said funds are also available for veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. “We are losing, nationally, 22 veterans a day to post-traumatic stress disorder,” he said. In addition, McGonagle spoke about Deborah Sampson, who under the guise of Robert Shurtleff of Uxbridge, joined the Fourth Massachusetts Infantry Regiment during the Revolutionary War. During her time with the Fourth Massachusetts, Sampson led a raid that resulted in the capture of 15 British soldiers and took part in attacking a British fort during the Siege of Yorktown. Therefore, in recognition, the House recently voted to approve a bill to create a “special commission for the purpose of making an investigation and study of a suitable memorial to commemorate Deborah Sampson, a hero of the American Revolution.” ׉ 7cassandra://Wtu3zEX3vSJkTx2--kr2C510OHFb2KGQ5taUf6830O016`̰]kA%׉EXTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, November 15, 2019 Page 9 Saint Anthony School’s third-graders celebrate All Saints Day S aint Anthony School’s third-graders dressed as their favorite saints to celebrate All Saints Day.

Once again, it came down to the final play, as Tide quarterback Duke Doherty came within inches of tying the game in overtime when his two-point conversion run came up short at the goal line. Eli Auguste celebrates after scoring a touchdown. EHS running back Tyrese Baptiste heads for the end zone. Tide showed resiliency by battling back from a two-touchdown deficit and forcing the contest into overtime. Everett actually had a chance to end it in regulation when it drove into field goal range late in the game. But an interception of a Tide screen pass thwarted that opportunity. Down 31-24 in the fourth quarter, Everett produced a 13play, 68-yard march (helped by two clutch fourth-down conversions) that ended with running back Jayden Clerveaux’s Tide’s Jayden Clerveaux finds a big hole in in the Central Catholic defensive line. scoring run from 10 yards away. Abraham Betancourth’s extra-point kick tied the game with nearly three minutes to go. A pass interference call on Everett helped lead to a touchdown and subsequent twopoint play that put Central Catholic ahead 39-31 in the overtime session. The Tide answered back when Tyrese Baptiste rushed for a three-yard score. Unfortunately, Doherty’s attempt to tie it was unsuccessful. Everett also lost to the Raiders in last year’s semifinal round on a field goal in overtime. Doherty finished with 121 yards passing, 12 completions and a touchdown through the air. Baptiste had a big day by running back a kickoff 87 yards to set up Everett’s first touchdown – a two-yard burst by Deshawn Weston – and scoring in overtime. Betancourth connected a field goal and made good on four PAT attempts.

What can you tell me about walk-in tubs, and can you recommend some good companies that make and install them? Dear Betty, Walk-in tubs are a good option for mobility challenged seniors because they’re much easier to get into and out of than a standard tub, and will help prevent slips, trips and falls too. Here’s what you should know. The Basics Walk-in bathtubs are uniquely designed tubs that have a watertight, hinged door built into the side of the tub that provides a much lower threshold to step over (usually 2.5 to 7 inches) versus a standard tub that’s around 15 inches. In addition to the low threshold, most walk-in tubs also have a built-in seat, grab bars, anti-slip floors, anti-scald valves and a handheld showerhead. And many higher-end models offer therapeutic spa-like features that are great for seniors with arthritis and other ailments. The kind of tub you choose will depend on your needs, preferences and budget, and the size and layout of your bathroom. The cost of a walk-in tub today with professional installation ranges anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000. Here are some other things you’ll need to consider, to help you make a good choice. Tub size: Walk-in bathtubs vary in size. Most models have high walls between three and four feet high, and are between 28 and 32 inches wide, but will fit into the same 60-inch long space as your standard tub without having to reconfigure the room. There are also bariatric walk-in tubs that have wider door openings and larger seats to accommodate people over 300 pounds. Wheelchair-accessible: Most walk-in tubs have an inward opening door, but if you use a wheelchair, an outward opening door may be a better option because they’re easier to access. Tub options: The most basic and least expensive type of walkin tub you can get is a simple soaker tub. But depending on your preferences, you have many other options like an aero therapy (air jets) tub, hydrotherapy (whirlpool water jets) tub, aromatherapy tub that mixes fragrant essential oils with the water, or a combination tub that has multiple features. Also, look for tubs that have an in-line heating system to keep your bathwater warm while you soak. Fast fill and drain: One drawback to using a walk-in bathtub is that the bather must sit in the tub as it fills and drains, which can make for a chilly experience. To help with this, consider a tub that has fast-filling faucets and pump-assisted drainage systems, which significantly speed up the process. But these options may require some plumbing modifications to your bathroom. Easy cleaning: Keeping the tub clean should be a priority, especially if you get a therapy tub because of the bacteria that can grow in it. So, look for tubs with self-cleaning systems. Warranty: The best walk-in bathtubs on the market today are made in the USA. Also make sure the company you choose has a lifetime “leak-proof” door seal warranty and lengthy warranties on both the tub and the operating system. Where to shop: While there are many companies that make, sell and install walk-in bathtubs, some of the best in the industry are American Standard (AmericanStandard-us.com), Safe Step (SafeStepTub.com) and Kohler (KohlerWalkinBath.com). Most companies offer financing with monthly payment plans. Unfortunately, original Medicare does not cover walk-in bathtubs nor do Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policies, but some Medicare Advantage plans may help pay. There are also many states that offer Medicaid waivers that will help pay for the purchase and installation of a walk-in tub to those that qualify, and the VA offers some programs that provide financial aid too. To get started, contact a few companies who will send a local dealer to your home to assess your bathroom and give you product options and estimates for free.

Other types of income that By Joseph D. Cataldo T he Internal Revenue Service has recently released a draft of its new Form 1099NEC, Nonemployee Compensation. This form will be replacing Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, beginning in calendar year 2020. The Protecting Americans From Tax Hikes Act, P.L. 114113, enacted as Internal Revenue Code Section 6071(c), requires that nonemployee compensation be reported to the Internal Revenue Service on or before January 31st following the year of payment to are reported on Form 1099MISC, however, are not required to be reported to the Internal Revenue Service until March 31st following the year of payment to the recipient of that income. Form 1099-MISC has been used for many years to report non-employee compensation to the Internal Revenue Service for payments made in excess of $600 to self-employed individuals such as contractors, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc. Form 1099MISC does not have to be issued to corporations. It does have to be issued to general partnerships and limited liability companies (LLC’s). So, beginning in calendar year 2020, taxpayers will be required to issue Form 1099NEC to independent contractors and will no longer be using Form 1099-MISC. This is important as there are so many independent contractors that are not incorporated and that provide services to other taxpayers in any given calendar year in excess of $600. For self-employed individuals, single member LLC’s, and partnerships, it will be a benefit to them to receive a 1099-NEC by January 31 of each year in order to timely file their individual income tax return, or partnership income tax return. If you are not treating someone as an employee, at a minimum, you should at least issue that person a 1099-MISC (for calendar year 2019) and a 1099-NEC (for calendar year 2020). If the person truly qualifies as an employee, then of course, you should be putting that person on the payroll and withhold federal, state, and FICA taxes. ׉ 7cassandra://g5AtWRpLGHg3T3MBFK7beXn2VzjjCW7rHsF7x-AuRes(`̰]kA%Ӂ]kA%ҁ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://CfHdNkbOTcP21t1y6WYGLKrkjERcSHCNfphx2BcAIN0 `)׉ 7cassandra://b29I1X8yNk5pOLiGPEwTG-dEQtqCaq5d8dVfejLuSew͗`J׉ 7cassandra://fWhu4-DLwheilmVCsfhZ7-RHZYbW_zmQiSYYYZAJ_ZE&`̰׉ 7cassandra://djFBmpx2rNS872l3RGN_P-22S0e9aLmbYp2FwHizBsI͠]܈A%ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://A7qMW84rNJmSu3b0RHWNyRmgeB9JK7wNFk-FisqmCkEM`)׉ 7cassandra://3I-C5FNcR1sWd0F1etNiHr5mnw2cxLSVhpTqj-Kj4Msͨ`J׉ 7cassandra://TCBaNzbOw9yOqrws01gYAJA7HLvE5_9SgnMUHRff1wk2`̰׉ 7cassandra://-yLnFp1IWRKH83qv2dq6zwbAndWwof_Ip8a59jfXC3Usf͠]܉A%נ]܉A%9ׁH!mailto:bob@beaconhillrollcall.comׁ ׁ Јנ]܉A%rg̫ 9ׁHhttp://www.massterlist.com/subׁ ׁ Ј׉E.Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, November 15, 2019 can Revolution who disguised herself as a man in order to serve in the Continental Army.

COUNSELORS FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE VETERANS (H 4177) House 154-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill providing that UMass Medical School develop a continuing education program focusing on the needs of students who are veterans. Clinical and non-clinical counselors at the 29 state colleges across the state would be required to participate in the program. Issues covered would include post-traumatic stress disorder and its symptoms; military culture and its influence on the psychology of service members and veterans; and available resources and methods of referral for the treatment of deployment-related health conditions. “Conditions like PTSD can be incredibly debilitating and isolating on campus,” said Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee Chair Rep. Linda Dean Campbell (D-Methuen). “Veterans need to know that there are resources to help them. Training counselors at our institutions of higher learning to be familiar with the challenges that veterans face during the transition from active duty and combat to civilian life, and to assist them when the going gets tough, will greatly enhance the chances of a veteran completing their program of study and leading a productive civilian life.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes COLLEGE CLOSURES (S 2387) House 158-0, approved a bill that would require colleges and universities to post financial information online in a publicly accessible fashion, undergo regular budgetary screening and alert state officials if they face imminent closure. The Senate approved the measure on a voice vote without a roll call and sent it to Gov. Charlie Baker. The bill was filed in response to Mount Ida College which in April 2018 caught everyone by surprise with the unexpected announcement that it would shut down at the end of that academic year. Under the bill, all higher education institutions would be required to alert the Board of Higher Education if they have any liabilities that create a risk of “imminent closure.” The measure also requires board members at every college and university to undergo regular fiduciary and accreditation training. If the board determines that a school does in fact face closure, the school would be required to create a contingency plan with details outlining how students can complete their programs, how their records would be maintained and how deposits would be refunded. The board would impose a fine of up to $1,000 per day if it determines that an institution has failed to comply with this new law. The board would also have the power to suspend state funding to the college or revoke degree-granting authority. “I look forward to the governor signing this important piece of legislation into law,” said Sen. Anne Gobi (D-Spencer), Senate chair of the Committee on Higher Education. “Just this week news of another Massachusetts College considering a merger punctuates the importance of having the law in place quickly to establish guidelines and give students, faculty, staff and the community a form of protection. This bill adds necessary protections to make sure that students, faculty and staff are protected from abrupt school closings and provides greater transparency and accountability relative to the financial stability of all institutions of higher learning.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes ERECT A MEMORIAL FOR REVOLUTIONARY WAR HERO DEBORAH SAMPSON (H 4179) House 158-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would establish a commission to investigate and report on a suitable memorial in the Statehouse to commemorate Massachusetts native Deborah Sampson, a heroine of the Ameri“Robert Shurtleff” to join the elite Fourth Massachusetts Infantry Regiment led by Captain George Webb at West Point, New York. Over the following year and a half, she participated in dangerous scouting missions, led a raid that brought about the capture of 15 Tory men, and stormed a British fort during the Siege of Yorktown. “Deborah Sampson was truly an unsung heroine of the American Revolution,” said Rep. David Vieira (D-East Falmouth). “It is time we begin to sing her story and the stories of the countless women veterans who have contributed to the freedom of our country and the strength of our democracy. I am pleased to introduce the Deborah Sampson Memorial Commission Resolve along with a woman veteran herself … Rep. Campbell. I look forward to the day when young men and women will enter the Massachusetts Statehouse, see the Deborah Sampson memorial and know that women have fought alongside men since the founding of our country.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes CAMPAIGN FINANCE CHANGES (S 2391) Senate 39-0, approved a bill making changes in the state’s campaign finance laws. Current law exempts legislative candidates and some candidates for mayor from the requirement that they use a depository reporting system which currently must be followed by statewide, county and many other municipal candidates. The bill requires legislative candidates and some candidates for mayor to adhere to the same strict requirements. The depository reporting system requires candidates to file a monthly report that discloses all campaign finance activity. Legislative reports are under the current non-depository system and are filed only two or three times a year. Another provision directs the Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) to write regulations regarding appropriate use of websites and social media for campaign purposes. The measure also creates a special legislative commission to examine the feasibility of allowing candidates for state, county or municipal elected office to use campaign funds to pay for family care and child care services for the candidate “Nearly all candidates, including statewide officers, county officers, Governor's Council, mayors and councilors in cities over a population of 65,000, have participated in this depository reporting system — with the exception of some mayoral and all legislative candidates,” said the bill’s sponsor Sen. Diane DiZoglio (D-Methuen). “This landmark legislation enhances transparency and accountability in our campaign finance law by requiring that bank statements are sent to OCPF and that we disclose our sources of campaign contributions and expenditures much more often for the public to see.” “I’m proud of the Senate for passing this campaign finance reform legislation today,” said Elections Committee chair Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover). “The depository system will lead to increased transparency and uniformity, while minimizing the accidental errors in reporting that often plague campaigns. Voters deserve to know how we get our money as candidates and how we spend it, and the move to the depository system will make all of that data more readily available.” The House has already approved a different version of the bill and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes CHILD CARE FOR CANDIDATES FOR PUBLIC OFFICE (S 2391) Senate 38-0, approved an amendment that would allow a candidate for public office to use Mon.

I’m happy to announce that thanks to our advocacy efforts, the MBTA Fiscal Control Board last week committed to making the Newburyport/Rockport line one of the first that will have frequent, affordable, electrically powered trains between Lynn and Boston. These trains will run every 15 minutes, include a new stop in Everett, and cost the same as an MBTA subway ride. One of the most difficult issues not only to discuss, but also change, is our City’s parking policies. However, the decisions we make with regard to parking will have some of the biggest effects on congestion, affordability and quality of life. Parking is one of the most expensive and least efficient uses of land in an urban area such as ours. A single space can cost upwards of $50,000 to construct, and under our current zoning, take up as much as 50 percent of available land area on a developed lot, OP-ED | SEE PAGE 17 campaign funds for child care while the candidate is campaigning on his or her own behalf or attending events directly related to his or her campaign. Under current law, candidates are prohibited from using campaign funds for their personal use. The state’s OCPF has classified child care, while performing campaign duties, as a personal expense rather than a campaign expense. “Campaigning is so hard and has so many barriers, especially with family to care for,” said the amendment’s sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “But today we are starting the process to remove one more barrier by examining whether candidates should be able to use donated funds to pay for family care services during campaign activities. We must take bold steps to diversify our elected office holders.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) 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.

And yet our current zoning requires far more parking to be constructed than we actually use. Though our zoning requires two spaces per residential unit, a recent Metropolitan Area Planning Council study found that, on average, fewer than 0.8 spaces per unit are actually used. That same study also found that the biggest predictor of parking utilization was the availability of parking itself. In other words, the more parking you build, the more cars that will come. We must acknowledge that one of the biggest contributors to traffic congestion is the over-construction of parking. We must also acknowledge that existing parking requirements are currently the biggest obstacle to creating affordable housing, revitalizing our downtown districts, and providing a clean and healthy environment for all of our residents. To address this, my administration is undertaking a three pronged approach to revise our parking policies as well as provide better mobility options in its place. This winter we will be proposing a new parking ordinance that better reflects our needs and goals for the City. This will be guided by a Transportation Demand Management Ordinance that will allow and encourage developers to reduce, in some cases to zero, the number of parking spaces they are required to construct. In exchange, they will be required to join a Transportation Management Association that assists them with providing other mobility options. Depending on the size and scope of the development, or its proximity to transit, they may be required to offer discounted MBTA passes, a bike share station, car sharing spaces or, in some cases, joining with other developers to operate a shuttle bus to nearby destinations or T stations. At the same time, our new parking policies will aim to protect our existing neighborhoods by reducing or eliminating the availability of on-street parking permits to new developments, ensuring that parking on local streets is preserved for those who have come to depend on it. I am proud that in Everett we are placing people and quality of life over cars and easy parking. We are prioritizing the ability to create affordable housing and a clean environment for our most vulnerable residents, and we are choosing to be a world class city, rather than a second class suburb. ׉ 7cassandra://TCBaNzbOw9yOqrws01gYAJA7HLvE5_9SgnMUHRff1wk2`̰]kA%Ձ]kA%ԁ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://vNv6cyJ5wS0lCoiURjlxW3ohA1Dr0XL3lEOvEvtxaaw%`)׉ 7cassandra://6vd1WIA5MVqnjQ0gsT3PSPAuClUbZU5AYj2Vd3Eq9Ic͌S`J׉ 7cassandra://WPSfiI3xj8DqbnJ3jO2jlvaxaKFAm8XVmryDl2sdgHs(3`̰׉ 7cassandra://NF8CNvpVsKDXUREVIpv-EawFoEXE6ONa-bzUYIp1Gd0̎͠]܉A%ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://o461kHXBUNp2b_Zg1woQIYWt60wgYzkyWkLeyE3UOvQ`)׉ 7cassandra://GPTp5VFbtZtAJDlDPZIxJZcxQqPPI0-lP7YBIAWOfeUͫ`J׉ 7cassandra://-U2hzLtRPqx_sak7OwlyUALZSxFbIBavgh9qJzwclU4/`̰׉ 7cassandra://A7XJtyVJd3BWuvWw5noTJ8q_RRu7BnyumRXvbgsf0q0͠]܋A%נ]܋A% OՁ̾9ׁHmailto:Info@advocatenews.netׁ ׁ Ј׉E5Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, November 15, 2019 OBITUARIES Alice M.

Tahiliani is currently working on her doctorate in education and urban education leadership at the University of Phoenix. “When these four candidates come forward, you’re going to be blown away,” said School Committee Chairman Thomas Abruzzese during the School Committee’s emergency meeting on November 13. He also described the Search Committee as “a jury handling a first-degree murder trial.” “It was an amazing performance by all of you,” he said. Ward 4 School Committee Member David Ela said the Search Committee collectively spent more than 350 hours reviewing the qualifications of the original 22 applicants. “This is one of the best things I’ve ever done,” he said. However, Mayor Carlo DeMaria said the Search Committee made a mistake by not interviewing any internal applicants. “I’m a little bothered by that,” he said, adding that City Hall has provided the School Department with emergency funding on more than one occasion. Although she said the search process was conducted properly, interim Superintendent of Schools Janice Gauthier was upset that she was never considered for the position. “I stepped up when this city needed me the most and I couldn’t get an interview,” she said.

The contest was marred a bit by what appeared to be an officiating-crew error that allowed the Raiders an extra down on their final regulation scoring drive. Central Catholic also pulled off a successful fourth-down, fake-punt play during that same possession. The defeat ended a seven-game winning streak for the Tide after they opened the season by losing 40-12 to Springfield Central. This week’s opponent, Andover, was the third seed in the Div. 1 North tourney and lost to St. John’s, 39-17, in the other semifinal, so this week’s matchup plays out as a consolation game of sorts.
