Attorney Robert Galvin, counsel for the Everett School Committee, appeared at the meeting and informed the members that he received a memo from the City of Everett’s Human Resources Director that included complaints from 10 Everett Public Schools employees Free Every Friday ATTE T 617-387-2200 Friday, November 3, 2023 Everett School Committee votes to conduct investigation into employee concerns Supt. placed on paid administrative leave over allegations made by 10 school employees that included a variety of allegations, including complaints of retaliatory and hostile work environments and allegations that the Human Resources Department for the School Department was not investigating complaints and issues raised by employees. Superintendent Priya Tahiliani in her statement to the School Committee informed them that she herself had conducted investigations into employees accused of bad behaviors, including bullying and threatening colleagues. Alleged bad behavior by department leadership in the complaints shared with the School Committee is similar to the conduct that the Superintendent indicated that she determined needed to be addressed. The superintendent, through her own stated action, seems to agree that investigations of this type and manner should occur. Attorney Galvin informed the members that no determination has been made as to whether or not the complaints were substantiated. The School Committee was informed that the information and allegations shared warranted a full investigation.

The Everett School Committee has been criticized for acting differently than it did during the leadership of the previous superintendent. We are acting differently, but not for any malicious or political reasons. We are acting differently because we have learned from our mistakes. We are making a concerted effort to be more accountable to employees, especially those who felt that they were failed in the past. This week, we did not revert back to more than 30 years with a superintendent denying and dismissing any and all complaints and a school committee simply taking that to be the answer because the superintendent said so. Requesting an independent investigation is not a new approach. It is a practice that has been used in the past in Everett. It also is a practice that is used by other school districts and school committees in other cities and towns. Investigations are professional tools that are used to review the conduct and performance of employees at all levels of an organization. The votes taken by the Everett School Committee on Monday night were not determinations on the merits of recent claims that have been made. Not every claim of harassment, discrimination, hostile work environment, or retaliation is proven to be true. The votes taken by the members who support an independent investigation were decisions that school employees deserve a better opportunity to have their complaints reviewed than they were given in the past. If we know that we have done nothing wrong, then there is no need to object to or take offense at a process being followed. Are investigations fun? Absolutely not. Are they how we would choose to spend our time? Of course not. Are they an important part of making sure we are fulfilling our obligation to our employees and to the public? Absolutely. I don’t know what the outcome of this investigation will be. I do know that this process will respect the rights of all parties involved and that is the obligation of all employers. What troubled me the most about the discussion and debate that I witnessed this week was the lack of acknowledgement and the outright dismissal by some committee members of the complaints that had been brought forward by school employees. Voting against an investigation basically sent a message to those employees that there was no merit to their concerns and they didn’t even warrant being considered.

S everal School Committee members coined the term “we are lucky” for Everett and its students to have Priya Tahiliani as the school superintendent four years ago when she was hired. Let us review these last four years to see her impact on the community. She was hired at a time when our schools were competitive in education. She started three-quarters of the way through what was already a transition year. The year was moving along quite well, and she was walking into what should have been an easy fi nish. A week later our world shut down and the plan for an easy year changed immediately. Everett quickly made the transition to virtual learning. September 2020 quickly arrived with no plan in place to return to school. Parents were up in arms; they needed their kids physically in school. The students returned to school in the spring of 2021 to absolute chaos, after over one year of virtual learning. Control, order, structure and discipline had vanished from the Everett Public Schools. Bullying increased, destroying of school property increased, janitorial staff were let go. Our schools that were once attractive to the eye became eyesores. Screens were broken; the grounds were in bad need of landscaping; and trees were growing out of the side of “Character” at the Parlin. That was just visible on the outside. Inside the bathrooms and lockers were destroyed. Kids began to feel unsafe; they didn’t want to go to school, and educationally the schools started to fail. Summer 2021 should have been a time to review what was a success and failure upon the return to school, but that September, as school returned to complete in-person learning, matters only continued to escalate. Nothing had been done. Parents began e-mailing and calling the teachers, principals and eventually the administrative offi ce, and received no response from all three departments. The parents began reaching out to the previous School Committee, and the School Committee members were told by the Superintendent that they were not allowed to talk to the parents. The word from the top was to keep quiet, say nothing. In the meantime, the violence, bullying and destruction continued. Violent incidents and bullying became a daily occurrence, and with no action from the Superintendent, on October 13, 2021, the Everett Teachers Association composed a letter to the Everett School Committee (which was also published in The Everett Advocate on October 22, 2021) notifying them of what was happening and had “several reservations” about how the Superintendent handled these issues. The Teachers Association urged that school safety be prioritized and addressed immediately. The uptick in violence was the direct eff ect of Superintendent Tahiliani’s decision to remove critSOUNDS | SEE PAGE 22 Lasell University Welcomes New Students L asell University is honored to welcome over 370 new students for the Class of 2027 to our community, including two Everett residents, Alison Benavides Lopez and Domenic Catino.

More attention and focus were placed by some members on trying to fi gure out who had made the complaints and what steps they had taken. This type of behavior that scrutinizes employees who have the courage to voice their concerns and make the complaints is the type of behavior that can have a chilling impact on the willingness of employees to come forward in the future.

It off ers undergraduate and graduate degrees in the liberal arts, sciences and professional fi elds of study. Committee was sending to students with its decisions this week, the message is a simple, but important one. The message is that we are capable of learning from our past, including our past mistakes. The message is that we have an obligation to create safe spaces and channels for our employees to voice their concerns. The message is that all of us who serve the residents of Everett must be held accountable and are subject to scrutiny regardless of the position held. The most important lesson that we have learned from our educational past in Everett is that respect is owed to every Everett employee and we need to have processes in place to meet that obligation.

It all began on Church Street By James Mitchell A s you have been reading for over the last three years, it’s well known that the Leader Herald has been disgraced as a result of a defamation lawsuit fi led by the Mayor. The result of these false stories was the creation of a small circus of clowns who they believe have been empowered to continue with the lies created by the newspaper’s disgraced owner Matthew Philbin and his corrupt publisher/reporter Joshua Resnek. A band of clowns, also known as Team Capone, after failed mayoral candidate Fred Capone, have accomplished nothing, and don’t even know that their support has a negative eff ect on those they hope to help. They simply do not know that people think they are irresponsible bullies that echo only each other’s small mindedness. So, who do the Leader Herald and the clowns endorse? Mike Marchese, Darren Costa, Peter Our 51st Anniversary Chris 2023 Pietrantonio, to name a few. Darren Costa, who holds a City Council seat only because he fi nished in second place, is so obviously upset that the City and its offi cials were cleared of racism by the United States Attorney’s Offi ce (even more than one of his fellow council members, that we hear had his social media investigated before he changed accounts), which should have been celebrated. Costa uses proven false headlines from the Leader Herald to smear his opponent. Costa, however, is a hypocrite. Costa believes people cannot be redeemed. Yet his hand-picked ward captain, Tony “The Razer” Raymond, has been arrested for violent crimes dozens of times and has served numerous years in prison as a convicted felon. Tony has used the “N” word on his social media and has demeaned the City’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion offi - cer by calling her names and giving the opinion that she “is a traitor to her race.” Not surprising is that Costa looks the other way when it comes to Tony, whose soDIVIDED | SEE PAGE 11 JOHN MACKEY & ASSOCIATES ~ Attorneys at Law ~ * PERSONAL INJURY * REAL ESTATE * FAMILY LAW * PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY * LANDLORD/TENANT DISPUTES 14 Norwood Street Everett, MA 02149 Phone: (617) 387-4900 Fax: (617) 381-1755 WWW.JMACKEYLAW.COM BESTIES: Shown is a picture from Tony “The Razer” Raymond’s Facebook page showing his candidate Darren Costa during a sign-holding event in Glendale Square.

Free cash is a revenue source which results from the calculation, as of July 1, of a community’s remaining, unrestricted funds from operation of the previous fiscal year. It includes actual receipts in excess of revenue estimates and unspent amounts in department budget line items, plus unexpended free cash from the previous year. For the last several years, the City has retained well over $15 million in free cash, showing that the City is proactive in its fiscal management, something that bond rating agencies, bond buyers and the DOR all look fa“I am pleased to report that Carlo DeMaria Mayor vorably upon. The city strives to follow Massachusetts Division of Local Services (DLS) best practices, which recommends a city’s reserves total 5-10% of the operating budget. This year’s free cash of $25,105,861 represents 9% of the Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) general fund operating budget of $288,621,894. free cash is over the $25 million mark,” said Mayor DeMaria. “Our diligent and conservative approach to revenue forecasting, our sound fi scal management of expenditures, and our fi nancial reserve policies have served us well and have allowed us to retain our secure fi nancial position and a AA bond rating with Standard and Poor.” This year the impressive amount of certifi ed free cash was a result of conservative budgeting by Mayor DeMaria and his administration as well as appropriation “turn backs” by City departments. Diligent collection of tax titles also helped to boost the amount of certifi ed free cash. One aspect of free cash comes from higher than anticipated revenue collections in such accounts as motor vehicle excise taxes, license and permit fees and meals taxes.

My name is Jim Mastrocola, and as you might know, I am embroiled in a campaign for a seat on the Everett School Committee. When considering this challenge of my civic responsibility, I was asked; “If not YOU, then who? …and, if not NOW, then when?” My opposition has grown more desperate than ever; going so far as attempting to remove me from the ballot by challenging my residency, albeit unsuccessfully. They understand what I stand for, and they are in fear of my positions: academic honesty in the classroom, transparency with parents and teachers, and preventing the curriculum of racism taught in CRT (Critical Race Theory). And finally, prevent highly sexualized reading material in grammar schools and young students (as we’ve seen in other school districts). Biology is taught in High School and until then, PARENTS know what’s best for their young children. Those who know me and know my background, not only with my own children, but from my many seasons coaching baseball and softball to the kids of this Community, then they understand my heart and passion for these kids, right here, in the City of my youth, where I grew up. Rather than wrangling over what their pronouns should be, or which bathroom and locker room to use - they need to be better prepared for the challenges that lie before them; … prepared to take on a career and be productive members of society. They deserve a good start, and academic excellence, to prepare for their future. With unfettered support from parents and teachers, we can help give them the advantages they need and deserve from our school system. There are many educators and parents who work hard to this end - let’s join forces with them and make it happen for these kids. If any of this hits home; if you think any of it is a worthwhile endeavor, and if you have the time and are not otherwise committed, please join me and others this TUESDAY, Nov. 7th, for however much time you can spare (an hour or two would be great) to hold a sign in my Ward 4, or give a ride to the Polls if needed, and then, hopefully, celebrate a victory for Everett Schools. The two polling places in Ward 4 are Lafayette School, and Glendale Towers on Ferry Street near Glendale Square. Please feel free to contact me at 972-273-0211, and we will accommodate you to participate in this worthwhile venture, with a sign and an assignment, at one of the two polling places.

The bill targets these inequities by empowering employees with salary information, including when they are seeking jobs and receiving promotions, and by giving the state new data tools to track employment trends. The eff ort to boost salary transparency has robust support from businesses and industry advocates. “Passing this policy has great signifi cance for our state, and especially for the women and people of color in my district who are too often losing out on wages because of their identity,” said Senator DiDomenico. “Equipping workers with salary information is the fi rst step in preventing discrimination and moving us towards equal pay for all our state’s workers. I want to thank Senate President Kar~ Re-Elect ~ IRENE CARDILLO City Councilor-at-Large Rich Delrossi, widely known for his influential role as Executive Director of Everett Grace Food Pantry, an organization that strives to empower and uplift the community, has publicly endorsed Irene Cardillo’s bid for re-election as councilor-at-large. Delrossi believes that Irene’s commitment for serving the community, coupled with her proven track record, makes Cardillo the ideal candidate for re-election. Cardillo’s understanding of local issues is a valuable asset in the ongoing growth and development of Everett. Her ability to listen to constituents, address their concerns, and advocate for positive change has earned Cardillo the respect and admiration of many in the community. As election approaches the community can have confidence that Irene Cardillo, with her leadership, experience and commitment to public service, will continue to make a positive impact in Everett as Councilor-at- Large. On November 7th, Vote to keep her Strong, Independent Voice! (Paid Pol. Adv.) en Spilka and my colleagues for approving this important legislation that will empower workers throughout the Commonwealth. “This is simple: everyone deserves equal pay for equal work, regardless of your gender, race, ethnicity, or background,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland), who sponsored previous pay equity legislation that was enacted into law in 2016. She added, “It is far too common for women and people of color to be paid less than their coworkers nationwide, and we are not immune to this discrepancy here. By passing this bill, the Senate stands united behind every worker— and with every business—in Massachusetts in our steadfast commitment to the fundamental principle that every person has the right to be treated and compensated fairly in the workplace.” The bill – S.2468/H.4109, which is also known as the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act – empowers job applicants by requiring employers with 25 or more employees to include salary range information in job postings. It also requires employers to provide salary ranges to employees off ered a promotion or a transfer, as well as to employees currently working in a position, should they ask. If signed into law by the Governor, the legislation would boost the Commonwealth’s ability to track pay discrepancies. It requires employers with 100 or more employees to fi le annual employment data reports, including information on employee demographics and salaries, with the Commonwealth. In addition, the bill directs the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development to track compensation data and fi le an annual report on data showing the Commonwealth’s progress toward equal pay for equal work. The bill marks another step forward for pay equity in a state with a long history on the topic. Massachusetts was the fi rst state in the nation to pass pay equity legislation in 1945, and most recently passed legislation in 2016, when the legislature passed An Act to establish pay equity, which barred employers from asking prospective employees about their salary history and guaranteed the right of workers to discuss salary with other employees. The Governor signed the bill later that year. According to a report from the National Women’s Law Center, women in Massachusetts who are full-time employees earn 85.7 cents for every dollar that men make. Women of color face even steeper inequities: Black women make 58.1 cents per dollar; Hispanic women make 53 cents; Native American women make 66 cents; and Asian women make 91 cents.

During my tenure representing our Ward, I’ve built the relationships necessary to effectively get the job done and help residents navigate City Hall. I’ve spent the entire summer knocking on doors to hear your concerns because taking the knowledge you learn on doorsteps back to City Hall is how you make government work for all. The most rewarding part of campaigning is always meeting voters at their doors, and listening to their concerns and hopes for our neighborhood, and our city. Ward 3 needs a leader who listens and brings what they hear to the City Council. What’s clear from meeting hundreds of you during this campaign, is that we need civil, level-headed leadership in our Ward and City. I’m proud of my record serving Everett, and I’m ready to use the relationships I’ve built to get to work for everyone in Everett. While I’ve spent this campaign talking about what I have to offer our Ward, my opponent has spent his time talking about me, to distract you from his record, or lack thereof. He has not passed a single piece of meaningful legislation and he continuously votes against the needs of our Ward Three. While Ward Three serves as home to three DIVIDED | FROM PAGE 4 cial media presence is nothing less than a perpetuation of who he truly is. Costa has never spoken about Tony’s racist acts or violent actions. Tony is redeemed in Costa’s DIDOMENICO | FROM PAGE 8 The legislation would boost awareness of the rights it guarantees employees, by directing the Massachusetts Attorney General to begin an outreach and awareness campaign. It would also give the Attorney General new authority to enforce the law among employers in the state. On Oct. 4, 2023, the Massapublic housing communities, my opponent ran away from his chair when it was time to re-appoint two members of the Everett Housing Authority. Furthermore, my opponent voted against placing utilities underground while Elm Street is being reconstructed. While he speaks of Everett being a heat island, he voted against the continuation of work at Glenwood Cemetery that would have planted more trees and new graves for Veterans. These votes make our streets less safe, our utility services less reliable and the accessibility of affordable and beautiful final resting places for our residents unattainable. My opponent’s votes have held back our Ward and our City. This election is about you, the people of Ward Three getting a leader that can build consensus and work with the administration to ensure the needs of our ward are met. My opponent says the job is 70% budget. I say it’s 70% constituent services and being able to deliver those services to your doorstep. That’s the clear difference that distinguishes the two of us. This election, I humbly ask for your vote so I can get back to work for Ward Three and all of Everett. Big words don’t get the job done, big work does. Vote Anthony DiPierro, a leader who listens. Because actions speak louder than words. Thank you, Anthony DiPierro Candidate for City Councilor, Ward 3 eyes. Tony represents Costa. He was hand-picked by Costa. That should tell you everything about Costa’s motives.

The practice of placing school personnel on paid administrative leave is a measure that has been used by the Everett School Committee in the past. A paid administrative leave is not disciplinary in nature. This practice is one that has been used by other communities that have reviewed issues raised regarding the performance of superintendents in other cities and towns. School Committee members raised concerns about whether the parties that were the subject of the complaints were afforded due process. Statements were made that the parties whose alleged conduct was at issue were being denied due process. Attorney Galvin informed the School Committee that he had contacted counsel that he knew had represented members of the school leadership team to inform them of the existence of the complaint but no response was received. As the Superintendent has fi led multiple actions against the City of Everett and is represented by a lawyer, Attorney Galvin understands that the prudent way to contact someone represented by counsel is through that counsel. School Committee Chair Michael Mangan confirmed for his colleagues that he had seen Attorney Galvin’s written effort to contact counsel for members of the school leadership team. The purpose of a hiring an independent outside investigator is to ensure that concerns and rights of all parties are honored. The investigation will include the process elements that many of the members alleged were not afforded to the employees whose alleged conduct was the subject of the complaints. The members who voted in support of the outside investigation by their votes ensured that all employees’ rights would be respected. The Committee’s discussion included questions about whether it was a best practice to have discussion about the matters before them in an Executive Session. Attorney Galvin reminded the members that he had made a recommendation to hire an outside investigator to investigate the conduct of the previous superintendent in an open meeting. A request for the School Committee to hire two independent investigators, one to work on behalf of the Everett School Committee and one to work on behalf of the Superintendent, was denied. Attorney Galvin informed the committee members that such a request had never been granted by a School Committee in the past and that it had never allowed an employee whose alleged conduct was the subject of a complaint to infl uence the selection of an outside investigator. There was little mention during the majority of the discussion and debate at the meeting about the importance of respecting the rights of the employees who raised concerns or the obligation of the Everett Public Schools to create a positive work environment for its employees. The questions raised about the complaints focused on wanting to know more about the identities of the employees who made the complaints, and whether those employees had union representation and if they chose to go through that process. During last night’s meeting, the scrutiny given to the complaints and the interest in knowing the identity of the accusers was in sharp contrast to concerns and comments previously made by School Committee members who shared that they were afraid that employees wouldn’t come forward with concerns. Despite the fact that the meeting did not include a public comment period, several emails from groups and organizations commenting on the subject matter of the meeting were read into the record by a School Committee member. Included in the emails read was an email sent by the Everett Teachers Association, the union representing a majority of Everett School Department employees, opposing any action by the School Committee to place the Superintendent on leave. One of the other emails that was read into the record was from a current Everett educator, who argued that what was in the best interest of the Everett Public Schools is not to conduct a full investigation into complaints made against current leadership personnel. The communication complained about the conduct of other leaders in Everett, but did not support any examination of the current complaints of a continuing culture, including fear of retaliation by current school leadership. The City of Everett and the Everett Public Schools have been the subject of past inquiries by outside organizations due to allegations of not properly investigating and addressing concerns about alleged discriminatory, harassing, hostile and retaliatory conduct. “My votes at Monday night’s meeting reflect the understanding about the importance of creating safe environments for employees to come forward with concerns after we refl ected and learned from how prior issues within the Everett Public Schools were handled,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “The decisions made by the Everett School Committee will provide for a process in which all parties involved will have the ability to have their issues and concerns heard in a thorough, fair, and impartial manner. Most importantly, it will send a message to employees that if they have the courage to come forward with their concerns, then we will show them the respect that they deserve to have those complaints reviewed.” ׉ 7cassandra://l6D6eTZhnJwa4XLYy8wf5b4CnIWShO3jvib0VrR2zGM'`̰eD%[X6ߤ׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 3, 2023 Page 17 Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen GET A FREE SUBSCRIPTION TO MASSTERLIST – Join more than 22,000 people, from movers and shakers to political junkies and interested citizens, who start their weekday morning with MASSterList—the popular newsletter that chronicles news and informed analysis about what’s going on up on Beacon Hill, in Massachusetts politics, policy, media and infl uence.

They argue that research shows that the inability to access menstrual products aff ects students’ class attendance. They also note that women facing homelessness or who are incarcerated face high barriers to access, with Massachusetts shelters reporting that menstrual products are among the least donated items. They argue that restricted access in shelters and correctional facilities means that products can be used as bargaining chips and tools of control for people in vulnerable circumstances. “I learned about this issue from young people in Medford High School, Somerville High School and Cambridge Rindge and Latin who took leadership at the local level to make menstrual hygiene products available in their own communities,” said sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “This is a true grassroots movement starting with girls talking about their experiences of missing valuable class time or feeling embarrassed to access products during the school day. These conversations have already started to change the culture and have motivated us to expand this across the state.” “Period products are not luxuries, but necessities required for people’s basic needs, health and hygiene,” BEACON | SEE PAGE 21 On Tuesday, November 7th ~ Re-Elect ~ Stephanie Smith City Councillor-at-Large #4 on the Ballot A vote for Costa...

Let’s take a look at a few of these examples: Michael Marchese Candidate for City Council, At-Large Michael Marchese, who is seeking reelection to his position as Councilor-at-Large and who currently serves as President of the City Council, led the charge for the City to be investigated for claims of racism and discrimination. The hypocrisy for this man to point any fingers charging others with racism and discrimination is, truly, unrivaled. Sure, it’s easy to make accusations and to paint people as a certain way, but it can be difficult to find the words to really prove the accusation. Well, why bother taking my word that Marchese is a bigot when you can just take his? Darren Costa Candidate for City Council, Ward 3 Darren Costa, the unelected Ward 3 Councilor, pounced on the opportunity to oust the elected Ward 3 Councilor. He lobs allegations of racism against his opponent and claims to be the Council’s “independent voice.” Let’s see how his actions stack up against his stances. (1) Darren’s “Ward-Captain” – a title akin to a campaign manager – is Tony “Contempt-ofCourt / Getaway-Driver / Aggravated-Assault-with-a-Deadly-Weapon / Arsonist / TeenTik-Tok-Wannabe” Raymond. The man that Darren proudly knocks doors with is a person that has spent more years behind bars than Darren has spent living in Everett. (2) Darren seems to conflate “independence” with “listening to the loudest voices in the room.” The cabal of nitwits scream at meetings, lament on Facebook, and complain in (poorly written) Op-Eds. This is the constituency that Darren proudly represents. Not the majority. Not the independent. Just the loudest and most disruptive. Jimmy Tri Le Candidate for City Council, Ward 4 Nowhere is hypocrisy more abundant than those who stand with Jimmy Tri Le. For over a year, the same Everett resident has made claims of sexual assault perpetrated against her. Her words are filled with emotion and are met with applause, support and calls for action by members of the public. These same residents turn their supportive claps into figurative slaps in the face of all victims of sexual assault by not only urging voters of the city to support Jimmy Tri Le, but victim-shaming the individual who bravely brought forward allegations of assault to a court of law. Jimmy Tri Le was unable to appear in the City Council Chambers for over a year while his sexual assault case was being litigated. Now, only after agreeing to a Continuance Without A Finding (CWOF) in front of the Malden District Court and a one-year stay away order from the victim, is Jimmy allowed to participate in City Council meetings via Zoom. The hypocrites who advocate for justice for a victim of alleged sexual assault should be ashamed of themselves for voicing their support for Tri Le and denigrating another victim of sexual assault because of their political alignment. Never allow words to speak louder than actions – these vocal supporters of Tri Le do not care one iota about sexual assault; they selectively rally around causes when it aligns with their politics. Peter Pietrantonio Candidate for City Council, Ward 6 The candidate with absolutely no platform, Peter Pietrantonio, has run a dirty campaign bashing his opponent rather than talking about what he would advocate for as an elected official. This childish tactic is often employed by those with no vision or idea on how to represent the people. Peter likes to tout that he is committed to his city. That commitment fell a bit short when he abandoned his post, leading Everett’s DPW for a cushier gig over in Melrose, only to come sniveling back in an unsuccessful attempt to regain his job a few years later. Not to mention the time that Pinch-Hitter-Peter came to City Hall with a baseball bat to threaten a City Hall employee for catching him on some questionable business practices while leading the DPW. Elected representatives should be committed to the city; Peter should be committed to an asylum to work on his priorities. Most recently, Petulant Pete criticized his opponent for having members of his family on the City of Everett payroll. Two important pieces of information are missing from his allegations: (1) These two family members were hired before his opponent ever ran for office; (2) Peter, conveniently, neglects to mention his own family who riddle the City’s payroll. You know, like his two brothers and father, who all collected a lifelong pension from the City. Or his niece who runs the Elections Department; or his son who has been trying to secure a department head job for years. Being in the Halloween spirit, the only logical explanation is that Peter is a vampire; after all, he must be unable to see his own reflection in the very thing he accuses others of. Guerline Alcy Candidate for City Council, At-Large Guerline has been campaigning under the guise that she’s been working for the constituents of Everett for years. She claims that her reason for running in this election is that the City of Everett doesn’t do enough to address the concerns of residents. As a full-time employee for Constituent Services at Everett City Hall, Guerline had a very consistent work record of drastically lagging behind her colleagues in terms of work production. Even the part-time summer youth help would outperform her on the numbers of calls logged and issues addressed. With such a poor work performance as a full-time employee, just imagine how little she can accomplish as a parttime employee! Sadly, she’d rather falsely label Everett a racist city to get her picture in The Boston Globe than actually run a campaign. If she hates the city so much, why stay? ׉ 7cassandra://Hxi6mrIF5mzIk3IUonIoD6wbVmQJPG97sXNKtnqXOlQ0`̰eD%[X6ߤ׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 3, 2023 Page 19 Everett Celebrates Halloween at City of Everett’s Halloween Bash Hundreds attended the spookiest celebration of the year with plenty of games, treats, entertainment and more T he City of Everett hosted the annual Halloween Bash on Tuesday, Oct. 31, at the Recreation Center.

Julian Cyr (D-Truro), Senate Chair of the Committee on Public Health. “Today’s passage of the … bill affi rms that women and all menstruating people deserve access to menstrual products. An inaccessibility of period products speaks to the longstanding and persistent misogyny in our society, a bias that intersects with inequalities in housing, education, socioeconomics and beyond. By ensuring better access to these products, we support further access to essential health needs regardless of our situation in life.” During floor debate, Cyr commented, “I think it’s pretty obvious that if most men could menstruate, these products would be as ubiquitous and free as toilet paper.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes HIV PREVENTION DRUGS (S 2480) Senate 38-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would allow pharmacists to prescribe, dispense and administer a short-term supply (60-days once in a twoyear period) of HIV prevention drugs, known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), to a patient without a prescription. The bill requires pharmacists to provide counseling to the patient regarding the use of PrEP, to inform the patient’s primary care doctor that the pharmacist has prescribed the drug and to connect patients without a primary care provider with a health care provider for ongoing care and to obtain a prescription for PrEP Under the bill, pharmacists could only prescribe PrEP to patients who have tested negative for HIV within the past seven days, do not have HIV symptoms and are not taking medications that are not safe to use with PrEP. Supporters say that PrEP is a life-saving medication that is nearly 100 per cent eff ective in stopping the transmission of HIV. They note that that under current law, individuals who take PrEP must make an appointment and go through their doctor, a barrier that can stand in the way for people who need the medication on short notice, cannot make an appointment or cannot access medical care. “PrEP is a game changer in HIV prevention. Yet, while this life-saving medication reduces the risk of transmission by 99 per cent, it remains inaccessible for too many,” said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro), Senate Chair of theCommittee on Public Health. “Allowing pharmacists to prescribe and dispense PrEP on a short-term basis, similar to what’s already allowed for contraceptives, would signifi cantly increase the accessibility of this essential HIV prevention tool. With greater access to PrEP we can narrow the gap in PrEP utilization among LGBTQ+ people of color. I am someone who uses PrEP and most of my gay, bisexual and queer friends rely on it too. With this legislation, we are once again putting people at the center of our public health policy. I’m thrilled it has passed the Senate.” “When someone is ready to begin PrEP, it is crucial that they are able to [do so] as soon as possible,” said Carrie Richgels, Manager of Policy and Advocacy at Fenway Health. “At Fenway Health, we regularly work to overcome barriers that patients face due to trauma, stigma and discrimination. We know from experience that to overcome these obstacles we must meet people where they are and build trust. Trust is essential to getting people on PrEP, and a local pharmacy can provide a lower threshold of access and can be a trusted access point for those who may face discrimBEACON | SEE PAGE 23 ׉ 7cassandra://X4DaGnpWqiCbfOQOSs7Wa6NNQfdFuLF3A_mBJyPj3No.j`̰eD%[X6ߤ!eD%[X6ߤ  PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://Kb-ojxbgTTCAhHEYdDAnRmJk6Z3OhuGWP-B722YchRk!`)׉ 7cassandra://19QKyFeAS5OC5Om1MyN6fk0N6LBRWziakOLaqcqZUoI͎`J׉ 7cassandra://tqUt22FBBBhuNmUS93MhwZM3ZO-OOflvlOBwijS2jIE)`̰׉ 7cassandra://dXd-5bm0xMtp163SVghoU6o3cDczchINxIjYhch68_Y͠eD%aX6ߤgט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://QuLZFAluom40xMOCufvXbszfaC4PGuDafhSl_hUu6sg 8u`)׉ 7cassandra://mO9cdpQ4DbgdbC0bO4NSnGcStbZMzr-et6gyu2bdJJoͦ`J׉ 7cassandra://cplCgPiHZi7yN2TJpBhNqCEEr3J8PP2eAoSI_CNqpHY+`̰׉ 7cassandra://F_xAuLNiZ8ZIxgoyLDgut3Sx6NoXU8wf_kGwdVuYPcE'͠eD%bX6ߤhנeD%bX6ߤl ̳9ׁHmailto:Info@advocatenews.netׁ ׁ ЈנeD%bX6ߤk9ׁHhttp://www.roller-world.comׁ ׁ ЈנeD%bX6ߤjd9ׁH http://eventbrite.com/e/buildingׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 22 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 3, 2023 SOUNDS | FROM PAGE 3 ical members of the Teachers Association who served as security supervisors around the schools to de-escalate violence. The Superintendent’s immediate reaction was to fault the teachers, social media, Covid, parents and students for the increase in violence and destruction within the schools. She blamed everyone and everything except her actions that germinated the issues. Reducing security staff caused the increase in violence and destruction. She never admitted to that major error. The School Committee were all up for reelection that fall (2021), and many candidates while campaigning were met with the questions that parents were trying to have answered. Many did their best to answer those questions; I’m sure not all were answered. There was a large enough voice at the polls that November where enough new candidates were elected to challenge the Superintendent and her administration. Parents wanted transparency and communication. The “do nothing and keep quiet” mentality was changed to “do the minimum.” The schools leveled off and performance has been falling below all of our surrounding communities since. They have fallen so much that only 20% of our students are performing at expectations. Minimum input finishes with minimum results. Fast forward to this past December – our School Committee voted to not renew Superintendent Priya Tahiliani’s contract. There are many who believe this was the correct decision; some believe this decision was wrong. Those who believe that this was a wrong decision have been very quiet about their decision. They are campaigning that they are for our children and are so supportive of making their education better. I ask a question: How has what has gone on here during the past four years been beneficial to our children? Underperforming schools, the district heading into receivership, no progress or achievement, and flatlining MCAS scores are the facts. How is this helping our children?

Chris Flanagan (D-Dennis). “There are many members steeped in town bylaws and state regulations. However, there are many appointed and elected members who do not have this expertise or knowledge base. [The bill’s] objective is to support local board and commission members in their work and give members a baseline understanding of laws and procedures to assist them in their deliberations.” FENTANYL STRIPS (H 2009) – The Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery held a hearing on a proposal that would create a pilot program for the purpose of implementing and studying the efficacy of fentanyl testing strips in combating the increasing rate of opioid-related deaths of individuals addicted to opioids and other substances. These small strips of paper are used to detect the presence of fentanyl in many different kinds of drugs including cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. “I decided to sponsor this bill because there were 2,301 opioid-related overdose deaths [in Massachusetts] in 2021 and according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, synthetic opiates, mainly fentanyl, accounted for 90 percent of all opioid-related deaths in Massachusetts,” said sponsor Rep. Smitty Pignatelli (D-Lenox). “Fentanyl testing strips – and the pilot program that this legislation creates – can protect against the pervasive threat of fentanyl exposure in our neighborhoods, our homes, our schools and our communities.” MAG I C MUSHROOM THERAPY (S 1263) – Another measure heard by the Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery Committee would establish a psilocybin-assisted therapy pilot program operated by the state Bureau of Substance Use Addiction Services to provide qualified patients with the funding necessary to receive psilocybin-assisted therapy as part of any expanded access program approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration. Psilocybin is a hallucinogenic substance found in magic mushrooms and is used to treat mental health disorders including major depressive disorder and substance abuse. “There is mounting evidence from over 50 years of medical studies that suggest psilocybin has potential as a form of treatment for a variety of disorders, particularly substance use disorder,” said Sen. Susan Moran (D-Falmouth). “This bill is a proactive step towards establishing a framework for the medicinal use of psilocybin and bringing a potentially revolutionary therapy to those suffering from mental health disorders.” ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CHARGING STATIONS IN CONDO PARKING SPACES (S 852) – The Housing Committee’s hearing included a bill that would prevent condominium associations from prohibiting or unreasonably restricting owners from installing EV charging equipment in or near an owner’s parking space. Restrictions that significantly increase the cost of the equipment, decrease its efficiency or effectively prohibit its installation would not be permitted. The bill would also require owners to pay the costs of installing and maintaining the charging equipment and for the costs of the electricity consumed during charging. “The commonwealth needs to install hundreds of thousands of residential electric vehicle charging stations to meet its goals for EV adoption, but at the moment, condominium associations can prevent owners from installing them,” said sponsor Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “We need to clear away unreasonable obstacles to installing EV charging stations at condominiums, not only because we will need those charging stations to reach our climate obligations, but also because condo owners deserve the right to charge.” OPT OUT OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS GOING TO ABORTION SERVICES (H 2887) BEACON | SEE PAGE 28 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!

We already know Tom does not put our children fi rst, he puts his family fi rst. He is protecting $600,000 in salaries and benefi ts. He is protecting his son’s illegal activities as an Everett Public School’s teacher. Those School Committee members who believe the nonrenewal of the superintendent’s contract was a poor idea have all endorsed Tom Abruzzese. These members and Superintendent Tahiliani have all been silent on the illegal activities by Tom’s son, an Everett Public School employee. They do have the power to renew or not renew teachers’ contracts. They are in a situation where they have complete control to make the correct, just and ethical decision that they all claim to practice. By putting the children fi rst, they have the ability to take action on this employee, yet they are silent because he is an Abruzzese. Are they really putting the children fi rst like they claim to be? Are the City of Everett and the Everett Public Schools really “lucky” to have Priya Tahiliani’s leadership? Trick-or-Treat H alloween just past, the trick-or-treaters greeted us in costume pretending to be something they are not. There are a number of candidates running for School Committee. At the October 2, 2023, School Committee meeting, Ward 4 School Committee candidate Robin Babcock spoke out during public comment and stated that she is a professor at UMass Boston. It is impressive that we had a professor as a School Committee candidate running for the Everett School Committee. The newspaper office received a number of phone calls from Lafayette School parents claiming that she is not a professor. When she was asked by parents what her area of expertise was, she immediately retracted that statement. After these phone calls, I did my due diligence on Ms. Babcock, and to my surprise, learned she is NOT a college professor. Nowhere in UMass Boston’s records does it state she is a professor. She is a Writing Program Manager. If he lived today, the Greek philosopher Diogenes – remembered for holding a lantern before the citizens of Athens in hopes of discovering an honest candidate – would fi nd his arm throbbing as he searched Ward 4 in vail for a wannabe worthy of inhabiting the Everett School Committee. At this time the Everett School Committee needs honest candidates who will focus on the education and the issues that arise within the schools rather than grandstand. With this week being Halloween, don’t be tricked by Robin Babcock, who claims to be something she isn’t. The Circus Comes To Town…Again A contentious circus is the only way to describe Monday’s special meeting of the Everett School Committee as a result of the activity of school committee members Lambert, Cristiano, and Barros.This meeting was called due to ten complaints filed by Everett School Personnel against Superintendent Priya Tahiliani for a hostile work environment.School Committee member Samantha Lambert grandstanded throughout the entire process, speaking out of turn and was even ruled out of order a number of times.Why is she not listening to these employees’ complaints?She works for them too and they have a right to have their complaints respectfully addressed. She showed her true colors tonight by interrupting everyone that disagreed with her opinions. She performed a great side show explaining due process but what due process did she do when she was handed the report composed by the Law fi rm of Cliff ord and Kenny, LLP that provided clear recommendations on how to handle the illegal activities by Mr. Jason Abruzzese, the son of her landlord and former school committee chair Tom Abruzzese?She disregarded it!She never spoke up about the safety of the children at the English School and allowed his transfer to the Webster School. She had a few years to investigate these claims while he was being paid with your tax dollars to stay home. This office received many phone calls on her hypocritical performance.Why is Mr. Abruzzese allowed to escape freely without an investigation, while she blocks ten investigations against Superintendent Priya Tahiliani?Samantha, please speak up on your decisions regarding the superintendent.We have yet to hear a good reason for her defense.Someone once said, “Sunshine is the best disinfectant in a democracy.”Mrs. Lambert, LET THE SUNSHINE IN! — JDM ׉ 7cassandra://sUW_yyGECccKf3CtwOdcdKqpBbj53mp_1bvFXN0Vyr0(Q`̰eD%[X6ߤ$׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 3, 2023 Page 25 Everett hosts second annual Community Bowl Everett community gathered at Everett Stadium as EHS alums competed in a fierce flag football game The players and community members in attendance honored the former players who are no longer with us by presenting their families with framed jerseys with their name and number on them.

It was the team’s seventh straight win, and first-year Head Coach Justin Flores and his players were optimistic that they would soon be preparing for the Division 1 playoffs. But two days later, all that optimism quickly turned to disappointment. The Crimson Tide started the Lynn Classical game as the 16th seed, but in a matter of 48 , putting them on the hours they dropped two spots to 18th outside looking in of a playoff spot. The Top 16 teams in each division qualify for the playoffs, and it doesn’t matter if a team has an extraordinary winning record, because it’s all about power rankings under the new statewide postseason format that features three rounds of games, with the semifinal winners advancing to the respective Super Bowl games at Gillette Stadium in early December. But none of this makes it any easier for Flores and his players. “I don’t agree with the final rankings, as I and many others know we are one of the Top 16 teams in Division 1,” said Flores. “The players are taking it very hard. It’s a mixed bag of emotions, but especially for the seniors who will never get a shot at the playoffs again.” The only solace they can take from this news is that they are still beating up on opponents, with the Rams from Lynn their most recent victims. Last Friday night’s win also secured another GBL championship. “The defense carried us through the [Lynn Classical] game,” said Flores. “We didn’t execute well in the first half on offense, but we got back on track as a team in the second half.” Quarterback Carlos Rodrigues had another good game, completing five of 14 passes for 71 yards with one touchdown. He also rushed the ball three times for 78 yards. Manny Santiago was credited with two rushing touchdowns against Classical, while also running for 47 yards on 16 carries. Christian Zamor once again had a superb all-around twoway game. On offense, Zamor ran the ball three times for 34 yards, accounting for two touchdowns. He also caught one pass for six yards. He made an impact on defense, as well. He was credited with eight tackles, one fumble recovery and one interception, which went for a touchdown. Senior Domenic Papa was on the receiving end of one touchdown pass that went for 49 yards. Flores said that Zamor was the standout on offense Crimson Tide girls’ soccer team completes season with positive outlook for an encouraging future By Joe McConnell T he Everett High School girls’ soccer team (7-11) split the final week of the regular season. They first defeated non-league Lowell, 4-1, on Oct. 25. Two days later, non-league Stoneham was all over them to the tune of 7-1. Layla Cardona set up Aldrona Flore for a goal on a free kick against Lowell to begin the week. Luna Sepulveda Maselli then assisted on Yelsa Garcia’s marker. Layla Leles was credited with the team’s third goal of the game via a deflection off the Lowell goalie. Sofia Arana-Quintanilla closed out the offense in this game with her first goal of the season. “Sofia is showing a lot of promise that will only benefit the program in the future,” said coach Dom Persuitte. The coach then added that Emilia Maria-Babcock played well in net to help secure the win for her teammates. Despite the lopsided score against Stoneham, the Everett girls played well into the second half, according to Persuitte. “But then, a few mistakes started to happen, and Stoneham capitalized on them,” the coach added. Garcia scored the lone Everett goal in this game assisted by Layla Cardona. “We played very well overall, but the standout against Stoneham was our goalie Emilia Maria-Babcock, who kept the Stoneham offense at bay, despite the final score,” said Persuitte. “My takeaways on the season are nothing but positive,” continued Persuitte. “My overall goal is still to get to .500. This year, we were plagued by injuries, but the amount of positives that came out of this season far outweighed everything else. I’m very proud of this group of girls. They were asked to do a lot, especially when they had to step outside their comfort zone. “I want to thank my coaching staff – Bridget Cifuni and Rodney Landaverde – for helping out and making this such an enjoyable experience and season. All three of us are already looking forward to next year.” The Everett girls ended up in Division 1, which is com48th prised of 51 teams. Natick (151-1), Bishop Feehan (16-0-1), Hopkinton (16-0-1), Wellesley (13-5), Brookline (12-3-2), Winchester (15-1-1), Franklin (162), Acton-Boxborough (10-32), Concord-Carlisle (12-3-2) and King Philip Regional (15-3) are the Top 10 teams in the division this fall. against the Rams, particularly in the second half, when he scored all of his team’s touchdowns in those final two quarters. The first-year coach had a more difficult time singling out individual contributions on the other side of the ball. “The defense as a whole was outstanding all game long,” he said. “I can’t single out any one guy. They all played together as one, forcing five turnovers, including a safety and an interception that went for a touchdown.” But now, unfortunately, the Everett boys move on to the non-playoff games of their schedule. Flores doesn’t anticipate any letdown after being robbed of a playoff berth. “I don’t think there will be a hangover effect, but these teenagers are only human, and they have gone through a lot in a short amount of time,” he said. Flores will find out the mood very quickly tonight (Nov. 3) when they host Lowell (2-6, 23rd seed) in a 7 p.m. game at Everett Stadium. But if they want to maintain their winning streak, they will come out and play very hard, according to the coach. “[Lowell] will come in with a true spread offense, while playing a 3-4 defense,” he added. For the record, St. John’s Prep (8-0), Xaverian Brothers (6-2), Needham (7-1), Andover (7-1), Lincoln-Sudbury (71), Methuen (6-2), Springfield Central (7-1), Boston College High (5-3), Taunton (5-3), Central Catholic (3-5), Natick (5-3), Weymouth (6-2), Franklin (53), Westford Academy (5-3), St. John’s of Shrewsbury (3-5) and Leominster (4-4) are the Top 16 2023 Division 1 teams. These playoff teams include BC High, which the Tide defeated in September. It’s just another example of a possible flaw in the process that left Flores’ squad bewildered to be left out of the postseason. Crimson Tide field hockey team wraps up season with competitive games against Revere, Malden By Joe McConnell E ntering the final week of the regular season, the Everett High School field hockey team (4-13) first took on host Revere on Oct. 24. The Patriots were able to double up the Tide in a competitive game, 4-2. “This was a good matchup,” said first-year coach Sabrina Wright. “[Revere] had some lucky corners that resulted in a goal. The highlight of this game was a penalty stroke in the first quarter. We have a great goalie [Willins Julien], and I had full faith in him, and he came up with a huge save on that stroke. This was the first and only penalty stroke of the season, so it was fun.” Senior Emma Longmore accounted for the first Everett goal. Malaica Guillaume produced the second score. Luiza Velev was the team’s MVP in this game. Last Saturday, Malden came to Everett to wrap up the 2023 season and was able to escape with a slim 1-0 victory. “This was a crazy game,” said Wright. “The game was scoreless until late in the third quarter when Malden scored on a penalty corner. My team fought hard, and had a few good scoring opportunities, but Malden held on to win the game, 1-0.” “It was a great game to HOCKEY | SEE PAGE 35 ׉ 7cassandra://S3OjsVtDgY7x5tjhfe6wRxUlrtDY8sVT5nv-7eIDX7E+`̰eD%[X6ߤ&׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 3, 2023 Page 27 EHS Crimson Tide Varsity Field Hockey seniors present roses during Senior Night E By Tara Vocino verett High School Varsity Co-Ed Field Hockey Crimson Tide seniors presented roses to their mothers during Wednesday’s Senior Night against Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational High School at Seven Acre Park.

Joseph McKenna (R-Webster). “People should not be forced, through the use of their taxes, to support this industry that has taken the lives of millions of unborn babies.” USE INCOME TAX RETURN TO MAKE VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS TO FIREFIGHTERS ACADEMY TRUST FUND (S 2446) – Another proposal before the Revenue Committee would give taxpayers the option on their tax return to donate to the Massachusetts Fire Fighters Academy Trust Fund. According to its website, the academy “trains municipal fire service personnel at no cost to cities and towns … and also offers fire officer training and over 300 continuing education courses.” “I filed the legislation because firefighters, including in my district of Western Massachusetts, provide a critical service and are the safety backbones of our communities,” said Sen.

Its deposits of approximately $1.4 billion would be drawn from existing state revenues currently invested out-of-state. The bank would provide affordable financing to small and medium-sized businesses, especially in under-served communities; assist businesses and municipalities in recovering from the economic repercussions of external shocks, including pandemics, recessions and natural disasters; respond to the unmet affordable financing needs of cities and towns in the commonwealth; address the historic and current disadvantages experienced by the state’s minority and women-owned enterprises by providing affordable financing; and increase available affordable housing options for all Bay State residents. “I sponsored [the bill] to ensure that more working families, underserved communities including women and minority owned small businesses and farms, cities and towns interested in infrastructure and climate resiliency projects and housing and worker cooperatives have better access to capital,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton). “Too many residents, entrepreneurs and municipalities do not have access to loans from financial institutions, creating a barrier for job creation, limiting the ability to address the housing and climate crises and maintaining the status quo for improving communities. Establishing a public bank will help Massachusetts overcome these challenges and help address wealth and racial inequities that were only made worse as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.” “Notably, our public bank GRAND OPENING SPECIAL!

Mike Connolly (D-Cambridge). “Rather, this bank would smartly leverage state resources to address needs that the commercial banking sector is often unable to meet. In fact, the bank would look to partner with commercial banks, thereby helping to make more projects and small businesses ‘bankable’ when they otherwise wouldn’t be.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “The death of four Massachusetts workers in the last three weeks is a clear sign that more must be done to protect workers on the job.” ---Statement from the Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health. “MGM Springfield’s failure to provide its employees, especially service workers earning an hourly wage and relying on tips, with their full wages and benefits made it more difficult for these employees to take care of themselves and their families.

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 latenight sessions.

My 88-year-old dad, who lives in a retirement community, has some dementia and gets confused with all the buttons on his remote. As a result, he keeps accidently reprograming his TV set. Searching Son Dear Searching, Most modern TV remotes – that come with dozens of unnecessary buttons – can be confusing for anyone to operate but can be especially challenging for elderly seniors. Fortunately, there are several universal TV remotes available that are specifi cally designed for older adults with vision, memory, or confusion issues, as well as those that are technologically challenged. These remotes have bigger buttons and paired down options that make them much easier to see and use. Here are three top choices to consider. Senior-Friendly Remotes The two most popular simplified TV remotes on the market today are the “Flipper” and the “EasyMote.” Both of these are infrared (IR) only remotes intended for those who use traditional cable/ satellite boxes or their TV’s internal tuner. They are not designed for people who use streaming media devices and will not work with devices that are controlled via Bluetooth or radio frequency (RF). If you’re not sure how your dad’s TV is controlled, point his remote at the ground in the opposite direction from the device, and then press a button. If the remote still executes the command, then it’s using Bluetooth or Radio Frequency (RF) signals. The Flipper, which is a top-rated remote, works with all major TVs including cable, satellite and digital TV receiver boxes. Available for $40 at FlipperRemote.com, this lightweight, remote has a tapered design that makes it easy to hold, and for simplicity it has only six large color-coded tactile buttons that are exposed to control the power, mute, volume up/ down, and channel up/down. Flipper also off ers an optional “favorite channel” feature that will let you program up to 30 of your dad’s favorite channels and eliminate the useless channels he never watches. And it has a builtin keypad hidden behind a slide-down panel. This will give your dad the ability to directly punch in a desired channel, while keeping the remote simple and uncluttered. The Flipper remote can also be locked to prevent accidental reprograming. The other popular senior-friendly remote that’s worth a look is the EasyMote (see EasyMote.us), which is available on Amazon.com for $18. This lightweight remote, which controls most TV and cable boxes, also comes with six large easy-to-see buttons (on/off, mute, channel up and down, and volume up and down buttons) that light up when pressed, which is nice feature if your dad watches TV in the dark. It also comes with a handy wrist strap to prevent misplacing the remote but can be removed anytime. Multi-Device Remote If the Flipper or EasyMote is too basic for your dad’s entertainment system, another simplifi ed remote that off ers the ability to control multiple devices is the “GE Big Button 2-Device Universal Remote” – also available at Amazon. com for $9. This IR remote has an ergonomic design with large buttons that will let him control up to 2 audio/video components such as TV, cable/satellite receiver, Blu-ray/DVD player, Roku box, Apple TV and other streaming media players and sound bars. In addition to power, volume, channel, mute buttons and number pad, this remote also off ers a previous channel, sleep timer and input buttons for convenience.

BOARD OF APPEALS FOR THE CITY OF EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS Mary Gerace - Chairman Roberta Suppa - Clerk of Board of Appeals November 03, 10, 2023 Special Needs Trusts S pecial needs trusts are often referred to as supplemental needs trusts. The name used isn’t so much important as are the terms of these trusts. A special needs trust funded with assets of a disabled individual as a result of an inheritance or judgment in a lawsuit is often referred to as a sole benefit trust. Assets in such a trust must be utilized for the sole benefit of the special needs individual. The special needs individual can now be the Settlor of his or her own sole benefittrust. It is no longer a requirement for such a trust to be created by a parent, legal guardian or probate court. These are what we call first party trusts as the trusts are created by the special needs individual with his or her own assets.

If there is money left over after MassHealth is paid back, the remaining monies can be distributed to family members pursuant to the terms of said trust. A third party trust, on the other hand, is created by a parent, for example, with the parent’s own assets. A third party trust is less restrictive than a first party trust and there is no payback provision to MassHealth upon the death of the special needs child. Any monies remaining will be distributed to the remainder beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the trust. If a parent was transferring assets to a special needs trust in order to qualify for MassHealth long-term care by reducing countable assets to $2,000 or less, MassHealth will require the Trust to contain a payback provision in order that MassHealth gets paid back for all of the expenditures it made for the parent’s long-term care expenses. Any monies remaining in the trust upon the parent’s death would then be available to provide for the special needs child’s care. Also, keep in mind all of these special needs trusts are designed to supplement the special needs child’s care, but not to supplant any governmental benefits being received by the child. A trustee needs to be very careful when administering a first party special needs trust. If expenditures are not made consistent with the law, the special needs child could either have public benefits reduced or lost altogether. There is more flexibility when administering a third party special needs trust in terms of expenses paid for. A trustee should keep very accurate records of trust receipts and disbursements and should be transparent with the special needs child and family members that may be involved in the child’s care. Investments should be prudent and disbursements should always take into account the child’s live expectancy, standard of living, etc. The trustee, if at all possible, would like to make sure that the special needs child does not outlive the funds in the trust. Taking on the role of a trustee in these situations needs to be taken seriously. Money can never be spent willy nilly. Joseph D. Cataldo is an estate planning/elder law attorney, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a masters degree in taxation. ׉ 7cassandra://pbx9VUbcsk-DwK1o4RAXUqLMj7uD0Emw8h3rJpaZ-0o(`̰eD%[X6ߤ,׉E THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 3, 2023 Page 33 head? 9.
