From there, he transitioned to South Boston High as Director of Student Support and part of their administrative team. He is now in his third year with PCSS as the Dean and track and football coach. He credits his extracurricular athletic endeavors to the support he has within PCSS. “I found a community here, and it has really helped me to focus on training,” said Jean. “Not wanting to let the community down, it’s a sense of pride.” A former football player at Charlestown High, Jean began Jean completed his lifelong goal with a fi nish time of 6:05:33.

While he is proud of his Chicago accomplishment and other races he has run out of state, he says that running his hometown race was his lifelong goal. Dean Jean runs with the Heartbreakers of the Heartbreak Hill Running Co., a Boston institution. His running team and Coach, Dan, kept him motivated and disciplined in his quest to complete the Boston Marathon. The team has trained every Saturday since Christmas of 2023 despite the fickle and inclement New England weather. Part of his training includes proper nutrition, as PCSS students have been quick to remind him. “On Fridays, we get pizza. Some students remind me that I couldn’t have it,” said Jean. “They care. They will say, ‘You have to fi nish the race, no pizza for you!’ They keep me honest.” PCSS students and student-athletes coached by Jean were along the course on Marathon Monday to cheer their mentor and coach on as he accomplished his goal. Seeing them there kept Jean excited and focused, and his biggest advice to his students and novice runners is to stay the course and keep reaching for the next goal. Jean completed his lifelong goal with a fi nish time of 6:05:33. Post-race, Jean’s new goal was to procure an “extra-large vanilla milkshake,” a treat training has prevented him from enjoying.

T 8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 Open Daily 4:00 PM Closed Sunday Announcing our Classic Specials Dine In Only: he Everett Advocate has received a number of phone calls regarding a serious incident involving the interaction between a School Committee member and a minority school leader. This School Committee woman claimed to be accepting of all people and fought hard to become a member of positive change for the School Committee. The November 2023 city election caused a great divide within the city regarding diversity, equity and inclusion. She claimed the “old Everett” was closed minded and racist against anyone diff erent from them. The “new Everett” is allegedly open-minded, diverse and equity inclusive driven. This School Committee woman claims to be all of what “new Everett” is and wants. Her campaign was based around diversity, equity and inclusion, stating that our elected offi cials need to be transparent, be open, honest and accountable with its citizens on how business is conducted. Her actions toward this minority school employee spoke otherwise. She acted derogatory and inappropriately in both words and actions. A formal complaint has been fi led by the employee. We are waiting for the review. It will be interesting to see the eff ect this racist incident will have on the School Committee. Will they see to it that this member will be accountable for her actions? We will continue to monitor this issue and keep the community informed as it unfolds. * FREE Salad with purchase of Entree, Monday & Tuesdays * Cheese Pizza - Only $10 Catch ALL The Live Sports Action On Our Large Screen TV’s SHOP LOCAL & DROP BY FOR DINNER! www.eight10barandgrille.com SABATINO/MASTROCOLA INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 Auto * Home * Boat * Renter * Condo * Life * Multi-Policy Discounts * Commercial 10% Discounts * Registry Service Also Available Sabatino Insurance is proud to welcome the loyal customers of ALWAYS READY TO SERVE YOU: Our Staff are, Emma Davidson, Jeimy Sanchez, Josephine Leone, Marie D’Amore, Rocco Longo, Z’andre Lopez, Anthony DiPierro, Darius Goudreau, Laurette Murphy, Danielle Goudreau and Tina Davidson.

The journey began with a flight from Beverly Airport to Bangor International Airport. From there, the teachers boarded four planes in sets of two and fl ew northeast and then due west along the line of totality. At approximately 8,000 feet, Morrissey and Plotnick enjoyed unforgettable views of the total eclipse. “The entire horizon for 360 degrees looked like dawn with orange skies and darkness all around,” Plotnick said. “Jupiter, which would normally be obscured by the sun’s brightness, appeared as a very bright star just a bit below the sun from our viewpoint.” The EHS duo was fl own by pilot Charles Dale, who skillfully maneuvered a Cessna 182 through a series of 360-degree turns and banks, giving his passengers views of the eclipse from various angles.

However, it has not been all that bad for them. The past five games could be summed up easily to one bad inning, otherwise the Everett boys have been quite competitive against their Greater Boston League (GBL) rivals. First-year Everett head coach Malik Love understands it’s all fixable through more playing time in order to get that necessary varsity experience. “We are shooting ourselves in the foot right now,” said Love. “We have a young group of talented players, who are just making mental Everett’s Alex Lara at bat for the Tide during last week’s game against Revere. mistakes, usually in just one bad inning.” Alex Lara started the game on the mound against Revere, but after giving up a leadoff double and walking The Tide’s baserunner Jevaun Berberena takes a nice lead off first base against Revere during last week’s battle in Revere.

Isaiah Goffigan relieved him, but by the time the dust settled the Patriots had already scored eight runs.

Leading up to the Medford contest, the Tide girls were all over non-league O’Bryant (16-8), before taking down Greater Boston League (GBL) rivals Somerville (12-1) and Revere (16-7). On April 12 at Madison Park, coach Stacy Poste-Schiavo’s team doubled up O’Bryant to kick off April vacation on a successful note. Freshman pitcher Mia Allen started the game against O’Bryant before Peyton Warren made a triumphant return after taking a line shot off her elbow against Lynn English. Allen pitched one complete inning. During her stint in the circle, she walked seven that led to seven runs in the second. She ended up allowing no hits, while fanning two. things down, yielding just two walks, while issuing no hits that resulted in zero earned runs over three innings. She also whiffed two. The game was called after four. Olivia Dresser ignited the offense in the first inning with a one-out double. She moved to third on a passed ball, before coming home on a hard hit single to left by Ashley Seward. But O’Bryant tied up the proceedings in the home half of the first. The Tide girls broke the game wide open in the second with 13 runs. Emilia Maria-Babcock and Allen led off the frame with walks. They moved up into scoring position on a passed ball. Arabella Cvitkusic then reached on an infield single to load the bases. Maria-Babcock broke the tie by scoring on a wild pitch. Kassidy Rivera then reloaded the bases with a walk for Emma Longmore, who doubled home two. Dresser kept up the offensive surge with a run producing single. Seward then doubled home Longmore, before Gianna Masucci also came through with a double that produced two more runs. Maria-Babcock, up again for the second time in the inning, singled home Masucci. Allen and Cvitkusic followed respectively with a single and a walk to load the bases again for Longmore, who singled in two more, before Dresser blasted a three-run homerun to close out the uprising. But O’Bryant got seven of those runs back, mainly as a result of free passes in the bottom half of the second. After Bryanna Mason singled in the third, Masucci belted an apparent inside-the-park homerun, but was thrown out at the plate after Mason scored the team’s 15th run. In the fourth, Alessandra Foster singled, and eventually scored the final run of the game on another base hit.

It was a much more competitive game in the second half after the home team scored nine times before halftime. “Our defense was excellent in the second half, especially from the likes of Tanessa Duvilaire, Jackie Sampaio and Aura Linhares,” said McNiff .

Once a conference committee works out a compromise version, the full House and Senate vote on that version which, if approved, goes to the governor for her signature. Here are some bills currently in conference committees, or soon to be in a conference committee, and how senators and representatives voted on the version originally approved by each branch. SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET INCLUDING $250 MILLION FUNDING FOR SHELTERS (H 4466 and S 2711) House 121-33, Senate 32-8, approved different versions of a supplemental budget that includes an additional $250 million in funding for the Emergency Assistance Program that funds the emergency family shelter system which houses migrants. Other provisions keep in place some pandemic-era programs, set to expire, including allowing restaurants to sell beer, wine and cocktails for take-out and expanding outdoor dining. The bills have been in conference committee since March 28. (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes USE INTEREST FROM STATE’S “RAIN DAY FUND” TO LEVERAGE FEDERAL FUNDS (H 4446 and S 2554) House 154-0, Senate 39-0, approved different version of a bill that would leverage the interest from the state’s Rainy Day Fund to better compete for federal dollars, to ensure the state receives the maximum possible share of federal funds and to pay down the state’s long term debt liabilities. The Rainy Day Fund currently has a historic balance of $8.2 billion. The bills have been in conference committee since March 25. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes APPROVE FIREARMS CHANGES Yes (H 4139 and S 2572) House 120-38, Senate 37-3, approved different versions of a bill that would change some of the state’s gun laws including limiting the carrying of guns into public places including schools, polling places, government buildings and the private residences of others, with an exemption for law enforcement. Another provision would crack down on the spread of ghost guns -- unserialized and untraceable firearms. The bills have been in conference committee since February 29. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes EMPLOYERS MUST DISCLOSE A SALARY RANGE WHEN POSTING A JOB (H 4109 and S 2484) House 148-8, Senate 38-1, different versions of a bill, dubbed the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act, which would require employers with 25 or more employees to disclose a salary range when posting a job position. The bills have been in conference committee since October 30. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes REVENGE PORN AND TEEN SEXTING (H 4241 and S 2703) House 151-0, Senate 40-0, approved different versions of a bill that would prohibit the posting of sexually explicit images of another person online without their permission— commonly referred to as “revenge porn.” The practice is often used by ex-spouses or ex-partners. Massachusetts is one of only two states that does not have a law about this crime. The measure makes it illegal to do so and establishes a sentence of up to 2.5 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000; increases the upper limit of the fine for criminal harassment from $1,000 to $5,000; and allows a victim to petition the court for a harassment prevention order against a person who has violated this statute. Another provision changes current law under which minors, under 18 years of age, who share explicit images of themselves or other minors, can be charged with violating Massachusetts child pornography laws and are required to register with the Sex Offender Registry. The bill allows minors to be diverted to an educational program that would provide them with information about the consequences of posting or transmitting indecent visual depictions of minors. This bill has not yet been sent to REQUEST FOR BIDS GRASS CUTTING SERVICES OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS Everett Housing Authority hereby solicits sealed bids from contractors offering to provide grass cutting services in accordance with the specifications in Bid Documents dated May 2024.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL EXPAND PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENTS FOR POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS (H 2890) - The House gave initial approval to a bill that would expand the current law which provides a property tax abatement to the surviving spouses and minor children of police officers and firefighters “killed in the line of duty.” The bill provides that Yes the abatement also go to the families of officers who “died in the line of duty.” “Killed in the line of duty” has a limited definition usually meaning the individual lost their life in an incident, accident or due to violence that are directly related to their service. “Died in the line of duty” is broader and can account for a number of medical emergencies like stroke or heart attack. “This legislation honors the sacrifice of our brave police and firefighters,” said sponsor Rep. Paul McMurtry (D-Dedham). “This simple language change will assure that surviving family members receive the tax benefit they are deserving of and what I believe was the original intention of the exemption.” TAX INCENTIVE FOR URBAN AGRICULTURE (H 2852) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would promote urban agriculture and horticulture by allowing Gateway cities as well as cities and towns, with populations of more than 50,000, to exempt from property taxes any land of two acres or less that is used for commercial urban agriculture and horticulture. Additionally, the parcel must have had at least $500 in gross sales of agricultural or horticultural products in the prior year to be eligible for the tax exemption. “Rep. Vanna Howard (D-Lowell) and I filed this bill together to support small-scale urban agriculture, which expands access to healthy food and promotes economic growth in cities,” said co-sponsor Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury). “In addition to these benefits, urban agriculture also improves environmental health and makes local food systems more resilient. By incentivizing urban agriculture, this bill will help cities obtain the benefits of these operations.” INCREASE PARKING FINES (H 3326) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would allow cities and town to double the mazimum fine for some parking violations. Current law sets a maximum fine for many violations at $50 if paid within 21 days, $55 if paid after 21 days and $75 if paid after the parking clerk reports the parking offense and fine to the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The bill increases the fines to $100 if paid within 21 days, $110 if paid after 21 days and $150 if paid after the parking clerk reports the parking offense and fine to the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Rep. Susan Gifford (R-Wareham), the bill’s sponsor, said the current maximum fines established in have not been changed since 2004, nearly twenty years ago. “This bill does not establish any minimum fines or mandate an increase in any existing fines,” continued Gifford. “It merely gives communities the option to adopt policies that better suit local needs and enforcement priorities.” REPLACE PROPERTY TAX (H 4271) – The Revenue Committee held a hearing on a measure that would allow cities and towns to abolish the local property tax and replace it with both a personal and business income tax to fund the local city or town’s budget. The bill was filed by Rep. James Arciero (D-Westford) at the request of a constituent, under the state law that allows citizens to requerst their local legislator file a bill on the BHRC | SEE PAGE 21 ׉ 7cassandra://JccxdcUVGYMCtIlJndd9rjqKwYnvcdQNSSeZ3k-uzao( `̰f*/!n:~׉E"HTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 26, 2024 Page 21 BHRC | FROM PAGE 20 constituent’s behalf. These bills are known as “by request” bills and do not necessarily have the support of the legislator who filed it for the constiuent. “This bill was filed at the request of Mr. Peter Barbella of Littleton who is interested in ways to decrease the real estate tax burden on seniors who typically are on a fixed income,” said Arciero. “He feels this would help seniors, who in many cases have already paid taxes for many years to their local town government, to stay in their long-term residence instead of being forced out by rising real estate tax rates. 1.

ANSWERS This bill would essentially allow a municipality to change from a revenue stream based on real estate taxation by replacing it with both a personal and business income tax to support a local town’s budget.” INCREASE TAX ABATEMENT FOR BLIND RESIDENTS (H 4458) – Another bill heard by the Revenue Committee would increase from $457 to $1,800 the amount of the real estate tax exemption for blind residents. Supporters said this exemption has remained at $437 for more than 20 years and has not provided the intended benefit to blind residents. “I sponsored this bill after being made aware of this issue by a constituent who had received this tax abatement for most of his life,” said sponsor Rep. Angelo Puppolo (D-Springfield). “It does not make sense for a benefit such as this one to lose its value with the US dollar. The figure should be updated to reflect the proportional assistance that was intended to be given to blind residents.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Utility accidents from damaged underground lines and pipes are both dangerous and costly. Calling 811 is the best way to ensure a line won’t be hit when starting a new home project this year.” --- James Van Nostrand, chair of the Department of Public Utilities, highlighting April as Dig Safe Awareness Month to remind excavators, contractors and residents to call Dig Safe’s 811 line before starting any outdoor digging projects. 811 is the line for Dig Safe, an organization that notifies gas, electric, telephone and cable companies about any intended digging project to ensure underground lines and pipes are not tampered with. “I am honored to be here tonight to express my support for Dana-Farber’s proposed adult inpatient hospital that will expand access and equity, reduce costs and save lives. I’ve always had great respect for the work Dana-Farber does, and even more so now that I’m a patient. This proposed cancer hospital will ensure Dana-Farber is equipped to provide every patient with worldclass care in an environment that supports the best health outcomes. But most importantly, it will offer more of what every single cancer patient and their families is looking for, which is hope.” ---Rep. Frank Moran (D-Lawrence) testifying in support of a new hospital dedicated to cancer patients and a new collaboration between Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. “Although we are heading into warmer weather, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) can provide much needed assistance for customers who are struggling to keep up with their energy costs and helps to cover energy usage dating back to November 1, 2023.” --- Damaris Dominguez, Manager of Customer Advocacy at National Grid, urging people to sign up before April 30 for the fuel assistance program that can help them pay and manage their energy costs. “Over a million people each year use the MassLegalHelp website, often in moments of crisis. By providing information that folks can trust and presenting it in an understandable format, we hope to help make stressful situations less overwhelming and make the legal system more navigable.” ---Marlena Idrobo, MassLegalHelp Website Project Manager, announcing the official relaunch of MassLegalHelp.org --one of five websites it manages. “Our hospitals and research institutions are key contributors to Massachusetts’ global leadership BHRC | SEE PAGE 23 Name_________________________________________ Address_______________________________________ City_______________ State_______ Zip ____________ CC# _______________________________ Exp. _____ Sec. code____ Advocate (City):___________________ Clip & Mail Coupon with Credit Card, Check or Money Order to: Advocate Newspapers Inc.

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.
