Everett boasts area’s second lowest
single-family residential tax rate
By Christopher Roberson
W
hen compared to 21 other
communities throughout
Greater Boston, Everett currently
has the second lowest single-family
residential tax rate in
the region.
According to a recent report
from the Boston Assessing
Department, Everett’s
residential property taxes average
$3,339 per year. This
figure is second only to Chelsea,
which averages $2,818
per year.
“I am happy to report that
as a result of conservative
budgetary management and
responsible fiscal forecasting,
we are able to provide
some relief to help residential
homeowners stay in Everett
and invest in their community,”
said Mayor Carlo DeMaria.
He said the low tax rate is
the result of the city taking

~ POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT ~
Millie Cardello announces School
Committee re-election bid
I
, Millie J. Cardello, of 27 Ferry St.,
Everett, am announcing my candidacy
for election to the position of
School Committee at Large.
What is the School Committee’s
responsibility? To explain briefly, according
to the Department of Education,
the answer is “The School
Committee has oversight and responsibility
for the school department,
sets the direction in which
the system must go and establishes
criteria to determine if its goals
and polices are being met.”
I started my venture into city politics
in 1994 when I was elected to
the School Committee. After serving
six years on the School Committee,
I ventured into a run for the
Common Council where I served
for six years. My next venture was
to the Board of Alderman where I
served for four years.
Currently I am serving on the
School Committee having been
humbly elected by the City Council
and the School Committee to fill an
open position of the School Committee
at Large due to the untimely
passing of the then member Richard
Baniewicz. It was bittersweet for
me. Richard and his wife Linda had
been friends of mine for over fifty
years; it was very emotional to think
I would be now serving in his place.
I have worked diligently with my
colleagues, administrators, teachers,
paraprofessionals, students,
secretaries, cafeteria employees,
custodians and city government,
etc. to live up to the responsibilities
of a School Committee member.
I enjoy being involved in my community
and strive to be a good example.
I enjoy living my life to help
people in any way I can. That is
who I am!
The reasons I want to be a voice
Millie Cardello
School Committee
Member-at-Large
for the people of Everett are: I was
born here (at the Whidden Hospital);
go to church here; went to
school here, I graduated Everett
High. Class of “68”. After my tour of
duty in the United States Air Force
I returned to Everett and resumed
my life here. I raised my family here,
I pay taxes here, I shop here, and I
do all the things you do so I get it!
My roots go very deep in Everett.
My grandparents, my parents,
aunts, uncles, cousins lived here,
went to school here, owned property
here, worked here and a lot of
them still do. This is my home; this
is your home. Everett is our home
town and I am proud to be here.
I want to continue to serve you as
your representative on the School
Committee at Large. I want to be
here to take your phone calls and
emails, to listen to your concerns,
problems and suggestions.

City Council approves holiday streetlight

hat was intended to be
a simple appropriation
of $160,000 to the Department
of Public Works (DPW)
for streetlight holiday decorations
quickly snowballed into
a point of contention during
the October 15 City Council
meeting.
DPW Director Gregory St.
Louis requested the funds to
purchase wreaths with holiday
lights and bows to be displayed
along Broadway up to
the Malden line. “Previously,
the lights were in excess of
$1,000,” he said.
However, St. Louis said he

McLaughlin said he could not

that was still in flux. “We don’t
know what the number is, I
don’t like voting for things that
are hypothetical,” he said. “I’d
like to have a hardball number.”
St.
Louis responded, saying
the $160,000 figure was accurate.
“As of right now, we believe
we need the full value
of this,” he said, adding that

New England's Premier Foreigner Tribute
proved in time and the order
went to another community.
“Time is of the essence in this
matter.”
Councillor-at-Large Wayne
Matewsky said he will be
checking to ensure that the
lights are operating properly.
“If they’re brand-new and
$1,000 a piece, I want them
working right,” he said.
Although the City Council
voted 5-3 in favor of the appropriation,
City Clerk Sergio Cornelio
said six votes were needed
for it to pass.
Councillor-at-Large Peter
Napolitano said there was no
reason to belabor the matter.
“To me, this is a little bit ludicrous,”
he said. “To save a few
bucks, we could hold out to
November and maybe have
the lights up by February –
does that make sense to anybody?”
Napolitano
also said
$160,000 is a modest request.
“This is what we do, we appropriate
money,” he said.
The City Council ultimately
voted 9-1 to approve the appropriation.
Possible
Pope John sale
In other news, the councillors
agreed to support Mayor
Carlo DeMaria’s proposal
to purchase the property formerly
occupied by Pope John
XXIII High School and convert
the building into affordable
senior housing. According
to the Assessor’s Office, the
property is currently valued at
$20.4 million.
“As you know, a lot of our seniors
are having a tough time
paying rent in the city,” said
DeMaria. Therefore, he said,
Everett residents would be given
priority to occupy the “300400”
units.
Matewsky said Glendale
Towers was the last cityowned
housing development
to open. “The City of Everett
needs to have a footprint
on property,” he said. “I’d like
to see the City purchase that
property.”
In terms of funding, DeMaria
said he is planning to use state
dollars as opposed to federal
money. “I’d like to have this RFP
[Request for Proposals] out
within the next six months,”
he said.
Ward 5 Councillor Rosa DiFlorio
said the City Council
should exercise prudence in
working with the state to negotiate
funding and construction.
“I want to be very careful
on how this is done,” she said.
“I want to make sure we have
full control.”

DeSalvio leaves Encore after
five years as president
By Christopher Roberson
F
our months after the opening
of Encore Boston Harbor,
its president, Robert DeSalvio,
has decided to step
down. According to Wynn Resorts,
the owner of Encore, DeSalvio
spent five years at the
helm of the $2.6 billion hotel
and casino. The reason for his
departure was not released.
“Bob DeSalvio’s ability to
partner with community leaders
and elected officials, assemble
a world class team
and lead them to produce
and launch a project of the
highest quality is remarkable,”
said Matthew Maddox, Wynn’s
chief executive officer, in a
written statement. “His unique
talent to both manage a complicated
construction process
while listening to the needs of
key stakeholders was essential
to our success. Bob leaves
Encore with a hand-selected
team prepared to take on
the challenges ahead. I salute
him for his commitment to the
project and, most importantly,
his dedication to his team.”
DeSalvio will be replaced
by Encore’s Food and Beverage
Manager, Brian Gullbrants.
Prior to his work in Everett,
Gullbrants was in charge
of opening Encore Las Vegas
in 2008. Three years later, he

~ POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT ~
Rosa Leo DiFlorio announces candidacy for re-election as Ward 5 City Councilor
M
y name is Rosa “Leo” DiFlorio,
and I am seeking
re-election to Everett’s City
Council as your Ward 5 City
Councilor. I am running for
re-election because I continue
to care deeply about the City
of Everett and its residents. I
care about the City of Everett
because my friends, family
and co-workers live and work
in Everett, and all of us rely on
a well-run city. That’s why I initially
ran for Common Council
in 2005, and why the voters
of Ward 5 elected me then
and have since re-elected me
to represent them.
I know the City of Everett because
I am from here. My parents
came to this country from
Italy when I was 7 years old
and faced discrimination and
economic hardship, so I am
well aware of the challenges
faced by our newer immigrant
population. My parents held to
their principals that hard work,
dedication, and investment in
the future would ultimately allow
them and their extended
family to achieve success
and live the American dream.
I have taught my children that
those principals hold true. I
attended the Everett public
schools, graduated from Everett
High School in 1975 and
eventually started my family’s
successful tile business in Everett
in 1981. My husband Michael
and I have been married
for over 40 years, and during
that time, we have worked in
Everett, have gone to church
in Everett, and have raised
our five sons in this city, all of
whom attended Everett High
School and went on to pursue
higher education at colleges in
Massachusetts. I also have several
grandchildren and, therefore,
I’m worried about how
changes in the City of Everett
may impact the lives of our
new generation.
A very important reason that
I was initially elected and then
re-elected was that my constituents
expected me to represent
those who cannot vote –
the children of the City of Everett.
A strong commitment
to public education is critical
because our children and
their futures are impacted by
the quality of the education
we give them in our schools.
The City of Everett is very fortunate
to have a school system
that is rated as one of the best
in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
However, funding
from tax revenues alone does
not support our school system.
Federal and state grant
monies are required continuously
to maintain our high
standard of education and to

advance growth in other fields
of education. While there’s still
work to be done in amending
the State’s school funding formula,
I’m proud of the work
the City of Everett has done in
the past few years to fund our
schools in difficult times.
If I am re-elected, my emphasis
will be to advocate for
similar funding for our senior
citizens, a group that unfortunately
hasn’t been the focus
of as much discussion lately.
We need to ensure that our
senior centers and buildings
are well-maintained and our
City’s grant-writer captures
every opportunity available –
not only for education – but
for city-wide for infrastructure
development, parks, recreation,
senior services, veteran
services and green space.

I’ve also embraced many of the
innovative changes that have
propelled Everett into the national
spotlight, such as the
dedicated morning bus lanes,
making it easier for commuters
to get to the Orange line T
stations and other local destinations,
reducing traffic and
pollution.
My constituents rely on me
to make certain that the City
of Everett is run properly and
that services such as DPW,
police and fire, trash pickup,
street cleaning and many
other City services are to the
satisfaction of my constituents.
I keep a close eye on all
of the City’s services and am
always available if there is an
issue with any of them. As
your Ward 5 City Councilor, I
will advocate to provide more
jobs, housing, medical services
and counseling to our
Veterans, hire more diverse
and qualified police officers
and firemen, reduce businesses
taxes to create additional
Page 11
tax revenue streams and jobs,
apply good business practices
in adopting future capital
improvements.
I have been an elected official
for the City of Everett and
the voice of Ward 5 on the City
Council for over 12 years, serving
as the Chair of the Business
and Community Development
Committee for over
8 years. I also serve on the
Legislative Affairs Committee
(formerly known as Rules
and Ordinances) & the Elections
Committee. As a former
Co-Chair of the City Council’s
Finance Committee, I always
read every line of the Mayor’s
City budget and will continue
reviewing every penny spent
by this City to benefit the taxpayers
of this City. I have also
served as the Common Council
President. In each capacity,
I have embraced the philosophy
that all tax revenues must
be wisely spent and that there
must be accountability.
My qualifications and experience
as your Ward 5 City Councilor,
coupled with my legislative
knowledge, are just a
few of the many reasons why
I should be re-elected. I have
always been available to my
constituents during my tenure
as Ward 5 City Councilor
and will continue to be available
to speak to any constituent
about any issue at (617)
407-0860.
If you are not familiar with
me, please ask your friends
and neighbors about me and
what I stand for. They will tell
you that I have been a dedicated
public servant to our community
since day one as serving
as your Ward 5 City Councilor.
On
November 5, I am asking
you for your vote to continue
my advocacy on behalf
of my Ward 5 constituents so
that YOUR VOICE continues to
be heard at City Hall.
Thank you very much for
your consideration.

Tide field hockey battles hard in loss at Revere
By Greg Phipps
H
aving earned a place in
the postseason tournament
for the first time more
than three decades, the Revere
Lady Patriots notched
their ninth win of the season
by defeating a competitive Everett
Crimson Tide team, 4-1,
Monday morning in field hockey
action at Harry Della Russo
Stadium.
Katie O'Donnell scored twice
and Juliana Raffa added two
goals and an assist, as the
Lady Patriots improved to 9-21.
On the other side, Everett
has made the win column recently
and actually carried the
play for portions of Monday's
game, especially in the second
half after it had fallen behind
3-0.
O'Donnell's goal off an assist
from Raffa at 19:16 of the first
period gave the Lady Patriots
a 1-0 edge. Raffa followed that
up with her first score when
she received a nice cross pass
from Eve Lescovitz to make
it 2-0 about five minutes later.
That's how it stayed until
halftime.
Revere would increase the
advantage to 3-0 on Raffa's
second tally (Crystal Valente
assisting on the play) about
five minutes into the second
session. But the visiting Tide
refused to lay down, as they

began to pressure the Revere
end and produce several good
scoring chances.
Everett finally broke through
when DJ Schovance connected
on a wrist shot from about
10 feet away to close the deficit
to 3-1. Revere proceeded to
call a time out. Almost immediately
the Lady Patriots went
on the offensive and it paid
off when O'Donnell wrapped
one home from close in to regain
the three-goal lead with
just under eight minutes left.
The Crimson Tide was scheduled
to host Gloucester on
Thursday and Rockport on
Saturday (scheduled 10 a.m.
start).

key investments in the city.
“Standard and Poor’s has
given us one of their highest
ratings,” he said. “Our operating
surpluses, our very
strong liquidity, our low
overall net debt and formal
five-year long-term capital
projections show that we
can meet our infrastructure
needs while also providing
some relief to our
taxpayers.”
He also said Everett has
one of the highest yearly
appropriations in the state
that is dedicated to funding
the city’s retirement system,
adding that full funding is
expected within the next
11 years. In addition, DeMaria
said funding for other
post-employment benefits
will increase once the retirement
system is fully funded.
However, this plan flies in
the face of one of the recommendations
made recently
by the School Finance
Task Force. It stated
that “the distribution of the
annual casino revenue for
the city should be dedicated
to ongoing critical needs
of the city in its provision of
operational and capital services.
Going forward, these
funds should not be applied
to reducing property
owners’ tax bills.”
Yet, the DeMaria Administration
is anticipating a “significant
increase” in state
education funding under
Chapter 70. The Student
Opportunity Act, which was
recently passed by the State
Senate, will infuse $1.5 billion
into the Chapter 70 system.
Within that figure, Everett
is expected to receive
at least $19 million incrementally
over the next seven
fiscal years.

By Greg Phipps
A
s the old adage goes,
nothing is a guarantee
when it comes to high school
football. That proved to be
the case, at least through one
half, last Friday night in Malden.
The winless Golden Tornadoes
reached halftime in a
6-6 deadlock with the highly
favored Everett Crimson Tide.
But the visiting Tide awoke
and reeled off 30 unanswered
points in the second half to
walk away with a 36-6 win. The
victory upped Everett’s mark
to 5-1, having clinched a spot
in the postseason tourney.

be the biggest offensive weapon
for the Tide, scoring two

touchdowns in the win. Everett
has now outscored opponents,
94-6, since the second
half of the Sept. 27 win over
Brockton. In last Friday’s win,
quarterback Duke Doherty
ran 15 yards for a TD when he
scrambled away from pressure,
and Eli Auguste had a big
game with a 67-yard run, a TD
run and a returned interception
for a score. All told, Everett
outgained the Golden Tornadoes,
286-74.
It turned to be a surprisingTide

ly competitive contest, given
that Malden had to forfeit
last year’s game due to lack of
players. The recent history between
the two teams; however,
isn’t all that one-sided. Malden
scored a big upset win
over the Tide back in 2015
As of this week, the Boston
Globe still had the Tide ranked
fifth overall in Eastern Mass.

Stadium. Pierre has remarked
that his team just wants “to
keep improving and take it
one game at a time” as the
playoffs draw near.

Malden, Doherty had thrown

almost 2,500 for his career. The

Metro Credit Union raises over $55,000 for domestic violence prevention
Gala fundraiser honors memory of Everett Kiwanian Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo
C
HELSEA – October 11, 2019
– Robert Cashman, President
and CEO of Metro Credit
Union, announces that Still
She Rises, a celebration of the
life of Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo,
raised over $55,000 to benefit
local domestic violence–
prevention organizations. The
event coincided with the beginning
of Domestic Violence
Awareness Month. All proceeds
from the event will benefit HarborCOV,
Portal To Hope and the
Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo Fund
by Kiwanis. These organizations,
which are based in Everett and
Chelsea, provide comprehensive
services to people whose
lives have been impacted by domestic
violence.
Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo was
a beloved member of the community
and 20-year employee
of Metro Credit Union whose life
was tragically cut short as a result
of domestic violence in December
2018. To honor Ersilia,
Metro hosted Still She Rises on
Thursday, October 3, 2019, at the
Robert Cashman, Everett
Mayor Carlo DeMaria and
First Lady Stacy DeMaria
Holiday Inn at 30 Washington St.
in Somerville. Congresswoman
Ayanna Pressley delivered the
keynote address to over 250
guests in attendance. This event
was made possible by the generosity
of our sponsors, the businesses
and people that donated
items for our silent auction
and the multitude of guests that
joined us that evening.
Speaking of the need to put
forth bold legislation to end the
epidemic of domestic violence
and provide trauma-informed
care to victims, keynote speaker
Congresswoman Pressley noted
that spreading awareness is
“our charge and our sacred task,
to take these stories out of the
shadows, to put them on full
display, because sunlight is the
best disinfectant. That is why it
is so important that we are here
tonight, raising funds for organizations
that are doing the work
in our communities to not only
support people who are suffering
at the hands of a loved one,
but to put an end to the suffering
altogether.”
“One in three women and one
in four men are victims of domestic
violence in the United
States,” stated Senior Vice President
and General Counsel Jacqui
Krum of Encore Boston Harbor,
the Host Sponsor of the
evening. She noted that statistically,
of the 5,000 people employed
by Encore, over 1,500
have or will experience domestic
violence, remarking that society
must end the stigma surrounding
the epidemic so that
people feel supported to come
forward and seek help.
“We are so proud of the success
of Still She Rises,” said Senior
Vice President of Outreach, Advocacy
and Chief Development
Officer Charlene Bauer of Metro
Credit Union. “Celia’s presence
will forever be missed at Metro
and in her community. We’re so
thankful to all of our sponsors
and guests who came together
in raising over $55,000 in her
memory to end the epidemic of
domestic violence.”

MVRCS | FROM PAGE 6
Abigail Adams Scholarship; it
was announced recently by
the Massachusetts Department
of Elementary and Secondary
Education. The 43 students
represents over half of
MVRCS’ total graduating class,
making the school one of a select
few throughout the Commonwealth
in which a majority
of its graduating seniors received
the scholarship award.
The scholarship entitles the
graduate to four years of tuition
assistance at any Massachusetts
state college or university.
“I
am proud to congratulate
our 43 seniors for receiving
the Adams Scholarship,” Mystic
Valley Director/Superintendent
Alex Dan said. “Many of
these young men and women
have been a part of our
school community since kindergarten
and credit for this
accomplishment goes to not
only the students themselves
but our faculty, staff and administration
that has not only
educated but nurtured these
students during their formative
years.”
Because only 25 percent of
any given district’s students
are eligible for the John and
Abigail Adams Scholarship
(each city is capped at 25 percent
regardless of where those
students attend school), the
fact that 52 percent of MVRCS’
Class of 2020 earned this designation
firmly proves that the
school delivers a far more rigorous
education when compared
to its sending districts.
“This is a great proverbial
feather in the caps of over
half of the class of 2020,” Matthew
Stone, MVRCS’ Assistant
Director said. “This will assist
them greatly in their ongoing
college selection process and
beyond. Looking at the numbers
once again validates our
academic offerings and rigor
and makes everyone involved
to want more.”
Scholarship recipients from
Everett include David Nguyen
and Isabel Ospina.

MORE MONEY FOR SCHOOL
BUILDING PROJECTS (S 2350)
Senate 38-0, approved an
amendment raising from $602
million to $800 million the annual
funding cap that the Massachusetts
School Building Authority
(MSBA) is allowed to
spend on school building and
renovation projects. The quasi-independent
government
authority’s job is to fund capital
improvement projects in public
schools across the state. According
to its site, “The MSBA strives
to work with local communities
to create affordable, sustainable
and energy-efficient schools
across Massachusetts."
“We can’t expect our students
to succeed in the 21st century
when they’re attending schools
built to serve students in the
1950s, which is why it’s crucial
that we give the hardworking
staff at the MSBA the resources
they need to evaluate and finance
more projects,” said the
amendment sponsor Sen. Barry
Finegold (D-Andover). “The
increase to the cap will allow
the MSBA to spread more dollars
across the commonwealth
and address the demand for potential
projects. With a potential
downturn in the economy on
the horizon, we need to authorize
these projects now so that
we create jobs and get these
projects off the ground while
we are able to do so.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.)
Sen.
Sal DiDomenico Yes
REGIONAL SCHOOLS (S
2350)
Senate 38-0, approved an
amendment to study reimbursements
to school districts
for regional school transportation,
homeless children and
youth transportation, and special
education costs.
Amendment supporters said
this is a step in the right direction
to correct some of the inequities
in the Chapter 70 formula
which is used to distribute
school funds to each city
and town.
“School funding under Chapter
70 has been underfunded
for two years,” said amendment
co-sponsor Sen. Dean Tran
(R-Fitchburg). “I am very happy
to see that many of the districts
across the commonwealth
are now adequately funded. We
should continue to work towards
growing our economy in
order to support the revenue
that is necessary to fund our
schools, and in support of this
bill going forward.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.)
Sen.
Sal DiDomenico Yes
RURAL SCHOOLS COMMISSION
(S 2350)
Tues. Oct. 8 No House session
Wed. Oct. 9 No House session.
Fri. Oct. 4 No House session
Senate 38-0, approved an
amendment creating a special
commission to study and make
recommendations concerning
the long-term fiscal health of rural
school districts that are facing
or may face declining student
enrollment.
According to the bill, the commission
will study long-term
economic, demographic and
student enrollment trends and
projections in communities that
are rural or experiencing population
decline; long-term fiscal
trends in school districts experiencing
declining student enrollment;
an analysis of the fiscal
health of regional school districts;
the impact of regionalization
on each contributing municipality,
especially in low-income
and middle-income areas;
and the best policies and practices
in other states.
Amendment supporters said
many rural districts are losing
enrollment and they face additional
challenges in the coming
years.
“This commission will be a robust
effort to look at real challenges
the school districts in my
region are facing, due to low or
declining student enrollment
and other rural challenges,” said
the amendment’s sponsor Sen.
Adam Hinds (D-Pittsfield). “This
will not be a report that sits on
a shelf and collects dust. I know
I intend to use it to continue my
advocacy for rural schools and
the students, families and communities
they serve.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.)

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.
During the week of October
7-11, the House met for a total
of 29 minutes while the Senate
met for a total of 28 minutes.
Mon. Oct. 7 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.
Senate 11:08 a.m. to 11:20 a.m.

Savvy Senior
How Seniors Can Get Help with
Credit Card and Mortgage Debt
Dear Savvy Senior,
My husband and I, who are both 66 years old, have fallen
behind on our mortgage payments and have accumulated
quite a bit of credit card debt over the past few years. Where
can we get help?
Drowning in Debt
Dear Drowning,
Unfortunately, credit card and mortgage debt have
become a growing problem for many older Americans
who often face medical-related expenses on top of their
mortgage and other growing costs. Here are some tips and
services that can help.
Credit Card Counseling
To help you get a handle on your credit card debt, a
good place to turn is an accredited credit counseling
agency. These are nonprofit agencies that offer free
financial information and advice on how to handle financial
problems.
Depending on the significance of your credit card debt,
they can help you sort out your finances and set you up in
a debt management plan (DMP), which allows a counselor
to negotiate with your creditors to lower your interest rates
and eliminate any late fees and other penalties.
The agency will then act as a consolidator, grouping your
debts together into one payment that you would make, and
distributes those funds to your creditors. Typically, the first
counseling session is free, but a DMP comes with monthly
fees of roughly $20 to $75 a month, depending on the state.
To locate a credible agency in your area, use the National
Foundation for Credit Counseling website at NFCC.org (800388-2227),
or the or the Financial Counseling Association
of America FCAA.org (800-450-1794).
But make sure that you don’t use a debt settlement
company that claims to settle all your debt or cut it in half
for a fee without counseling. Most of these companies use
deceptive practices and will only leave you more in debt
then you already are.
Mortgage Counseling
If you have fallen behind on your mortgage payments,
or if you have already received a letter or phone call
about missed payments, you should contact your lender
immediately to explain your situation and see if you can
work out a payment plan. Be prepared to provide your
financial information, such as your monthly income and
expenses.
You can also get help from a foreclosure prevention
counselor. These are HUD-approved, trained counselors
that will work with you, examine your financial situation,
and offer guidance on how best to avoid default or
foreclosure. They can also represent you in negotiations
with your lender if you need them to.
To find a government-approved housing counseling
agency in your area, use the National Foundation for
Credit Counseling or Financial Counseling Association of
America websites or phone numbers previously listed. Or,
for a larger selection of housing counseling options see the
Department of Housing and Urban Development website
at HUD.gov – click on “Resources” at the top of the page,
then on “Foreclosure Avoidance Counseling,” or call 800569-4287.
Financial
Assistance
You also need to make sure you’re not missing out on
any financial assistance programs. The National Council on
Aging’s website (BenefitsCheckUp.org) contains a database
of more than 2,500 federal, state and local programs that
can help seniors with prescription drug costs, health care,
food, utilities, and other basic needs. The site will help you
locate programs that you may be eligible for and will show
you how to apply.
Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box
5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim
Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author
of “The Savvy Senior” book.

he Department of Public
Works is looking for residents

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, October 18, 2019
ALMEIDA-BARROS | FROM PAGE 2
Throughout my brief time on
the School Committee, I’ve been
an active voice for parents and
students while concentrating
on the future of our school system,
bringing my professional
background and experiences
to accomplish several important
goals.
Upon hearing the need from
parents and school administrators,
I helped secure a $5,000
donation from the Cambridge
Health Alliance Foundation to
buy laptop computers at the
Devens School so students
could practice for the MCAS test,
which is now taken online.
I also fought for and won a
$30,000 grant from the Mass
Housing and Shelter Alliance
to help Everett students whose
families are in crisis, to cover
emergency expenses for temporary
food and housing. This
program has already helped improve
graduation rates and lower
truancy. This October, I was
able to get another $25,000 –
and in a second term, I will fight
hard to expand this program.
I also helped sponsor a mentoring
program led by two former
Everett High graduates
who plan to match other graduates
with students to help them
navigate life after high school.
A pilot program will start this
school year.
Throughout this past term, I’ve
been committed to being accessible
and present at many school
events and community forums.
I’ve even started office hours,
so parents can bring their concerns
directly to me as well as
learn what the role of a School
Committee member is.
I’m also honored to serve on
the search committee for the
new superintendent, where
I’ve helped lead the charge for
an open and community-led
process.
In a new term, I want to address
teen vaping and other
youth health concerns, as well
as facilitate more programs for
youth violence, bullying and
drug use prevention.
I’m working hard to earn your
vote. Together, we can continue
to ensure the brightest possible
future for our school age
children. I would be honored to
have your support to continue
to serve on the School Committee
Ward Five, voted citywide.
