Tahiliani fi led her complaint on January 17 and the cameras were found on January 28. The mayor expressed his anger about the situation and has since gone to the authorities. “I am extremely disturbed by the allegation, apparently verifi ed, that cameras were found in the offi ce of the Everett School Superintendent. I have given instructions to city offi cials that an investigation be immediately undertaken to determine how this occurred and who is responsible,” said DeMaria. “However, in order to ensure that such an investigation is as comprehensive as possible, I call upon the Offi ce of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth and the Middlesex District Attorney to conduct their own investigations, in order that those responsible can be held accountable to the fullest extent provided by law.” School Committee Memberat-Large Samantha Lambert said she is disheartened by this development. “I am saddened and disturbed that this could occur,” she said. “Until the investigation is complete and we have a full scope of what happened, I cannot comment further.” Neither Tahiliani nor her attorney, Benjamin Flam, could be reached for comment. Offi cials from the Attorney General’s Offi ce and the Middlesex District Attorney’s Offi ce were also unavailable. ׉ 7cassandra://TaRMOldjTB0MggOMn0ueKmKMRbfl8bfa_MrDOIKyAvo(`̰b.O#qu b.O#qu  PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://xy11CAqeH-ebflofsLHla5_gqfliTPWaZaQxiFdAumY`)׉ 7cassandra://NZrd3j4JBHVcj6qXvYTMn3MAm5_xxh1dn_ELabl_-uwͧ^`J׉ 7cassandra://VXv0bdvBgmL0naiuEfrJJ9hq4jE-IGOE-woe5d1kzeQ3`̰׉ 7cassandra://4iVGXrZA2guozHCLVLUivrDLmBz_bcIDl1N83QEANEM4͆$͠b1O#qu.ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://kVs1L-c2tGfACq1uzr6ne6OkqECm4NL-jsVUtn5djv80.`)׉ 7cassandra://B4a9HQuBc9rI6ahR42eo8XyrMexs5EPdH2GuiuaLCUoͥ`J׉ 7cassandra://CnGC1YD9cZ1c68zRse2FQ20ToLr0J432Ct-_8iqjo6w1j`̰׉ 7cassandra://wP8LeNuRlhOIzMk2Bwgz95yXayUh4JzBfuGJIpdzv8kv͠b1O#qu/נb1O#qu2f 9ׁHhttp://www.angelosoil.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E Page 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2022 Rep. McGonagle, House pass extended COVID-19 funding O n January 19, 2022, State Representative Joseph McGonagle and the House of Representatives unanimously passed House Bill 4340, which appropriates $30 million to establish and expand COVID-19 testing sites, with at least $5 million dedicated to expanding vaccination rates among kids ages fi ve to 11. The youth vaccination eff orts would be focused on communities disproportionately affected by the virus. Instead of tapping into some of the $2.25 billion that remains in state American Rescue Plan Act funds, the bill spends money out of the state’s general fund with instructions in the bill pointing to reimbursements from FEMA. “As we move forward through the COVID pandemic, we need to learn how to the live with the virus and the diffi culties that come with it,” said McGonagle. “Increased access to vaccination and testing sites will allow people to continue their regular routines while feeling safe to do so.” On January 26, the Senate unanimously passed a slightly diff erent version of the bill, and on February 3, the Legislature enacted its fi nal version of the bill. On February 12, Governor Charlie Baker returned the bill to the House with some vetoes and amendments.

W He said that during the past year, more than 1,500 emergency calls originated from that part of the city. “That’s a lot of calls,” Matewsky said during the February 14 City Council meeting, adding that there is currently no synchronization between the response times from the Fire Department and Cataldo Ambulance Service. “Cataldo’s service is not what it used to be. From my own experiences and observations, the Fire Department arrives almost 10 minutes before the ambulance.” Matewsky also said the proposed East of Broadway development underscores the need for a public safety building. He said the facility would need to house police and fire services as well as an ambulance. “This is a $25 million item we’re talking about, maybe more,” he said. Matewsky also mentioned a possible site for the building. “As we all know, Exxon is moving out; that’s almost 100 acres,” he said. Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins said a public safety building is long overdue. “The population is growing, development is growing – this should’ve been there since the casino was built,” she said. Lieutenant Craig Hardy, president of Everett Firefighters Union Local 143, said the department desperately needs a new fire station. “We’ve needed it for a long time,” he said. Although the union supports adding an ambulance to the Fire Department, it will not be the ultimate solution. “Just understand it’s not a cure-all,” said Hardy. However, Hardy said manpower is what the Fire Department is really lacking. “We have a grant sitting on the shelf right now from the federal government for eight members,” he said. “We need to use that grant.” The City Council voted unanimously to refer the matter to Mayor Carlo DeMaria and his administration.

The plaque reads: “We hereby present Diane Portnoy with this award in recognition for the free education program you provide for the public. On behalf of the Haitian community, my family and I gratefully off er you this plaque. Thank you, Jeantilus Gedeus.” Since its inception in 1992, The ILC has helped more than 11,000 immigrants from 122 countries gain the essential skills to create new lives in the United States. The ILC started keeping electronic student records in 2000 and has recorded 2,049 students from Haiti since then. The makeup of its students often refl ects world events, and the displacement of Haitians caused by the 2010 earthquake led to an increase in students from Haiti. Gedeus was a teacher in his native Haiti. In 2010 he first came to The ILC as a student seeking help with English. He later became a classroom volunteer and in 2011 joined the staff as a teacher, helping many other Haitians, as well as immigrants from across the globe, learn English.

Depending on when one attended EHS, the names Walter Sewell, Fred Milton, George Burnham, Frank and Matt Nuzzo, Ralph Young, Ron Luongo, Sam Gentile, George Brickley, Al Pierotti, Danny Silva, Sam Ali, Hub Hart, etc. all left their mark on the EHS nine of their day. In 1924, however, the crowds came to watch a lanky southpaw pitcher named Elmer Munroe. Elmer was one of three African-Americans on the Everett High squad, along with football star and outfielder “Jit” Taylor and a speedy, diminutive, freshman outfielder Edward “Zing” Rice. The team also included legendary Crimson Tide athletes “Bud” Terrio, Eddie Bond and Angie DiMott. Elmer had incredible control over his pitches and while he would consistently rack up eight to fifteen strikeouts per game, it was his ability to locate his pitches and prevent hitters from getting solid wood on the ball, that was his claim to fame. When he was on his game, hits were hard to come by. Munroe was not the most dominant pitcher in the Suburban League, however; that title belonged to Somerville's Danny McFayden. Connolly Center Book Club News M There was nothing about McFayden's appearance that would lead one to believe that he was an ace. Bespectacled and standing at 5-10 and 160 pounds, Danny looked more like an accountant than a dominating hurler, but dominating he was. Throughout his high school career, he left hundreds of opposing batters shaking their heads as they walked back to the bench with their bats still on their shoulders. On May 7, 1924, the Highlanders made the trip from Somerville to Everett to battle the Crimson Tide in what is considered the greatest pitchers’ duel in Massachusetts high school baseball history. The game featured the Suburban League's first-place team versus the second place team and, more interestingly, Danny McFayden versus Elmer Munroe. What was reported as the ayor Carlo DeMaria, the Council on Aging and the Everett Public Libraries are excited to announce the return of the Connolly Center Book Club for seniors. Facilitated by librarian Kathleen Slipp, the book club will meet in the conference room at the Connolly Center on the second Wednesday of each month at 10:30 a.m. “The Venice Sketchbook” by Rhys Bowen is our featured book for this month.

They weren't disappointed. Things didn't start off well for Elmer. He walked the first batter, who was then sacrificed to second base. An Everett error at shortstop gave Somerville its first run, but Munroe struck out the next two batElmer Munroe Dany McFayden ters to avoid further damage. Everett threatened in the bottom of the first when Rice tripled to lead off the frame. McFayden, however, reached back and struck out the next two batters before getting Eddie Bond to pop up to the shortstop. With both pitchers tossing flawlessly, the score remained 1-0 until the eighth. Everett scored on two singles and a wild pitch by McFayden. Both teams would strand a runner on third; Somerville in the ninth and Everett in the 13th. With the score tied 1-1 in the 17th inning, none of the spectators dared to leave the park. Munroe and McFayden had pitched the entire game and showed some signs of tiring. Somerville led off the top of the 17th with a single; the runner was then sacrificed to second. The next batter singled, as well. The runner on second attempted to score, but was tagged out at the plate by Angie DiMott on a perfect throw by “Zing” Rice. Elmer retired the next batter and it was now Everett's turn. Elmer grounded out to start the inning. “Zing” Rice singled and stole second. Bud Terrio added a single, but Rice had to stop at third. The next batter, Eddie Bond, signaled to “Zing” that he intended to lay down sacrifice bunt. Without Coach Brickley's knowledge, Bond sent a perfect bunt up the first base line and Rice flew across the plate. Everett had won the marathon game, 2-1. The crowd cheered both pitchers at the game's end. McFayden had struck-out an unbelievable 31 batters; while walking none. Munroe had struck-out 11, walked two, scattered six hits; only two of which reached the outfield. The fans had seen a masterpiece by two of the best that high school baseball had to offer. Years later, Danny McFayden would call this his favorite game, despite pitching two no-hitters during his Somerville career. McFayden and Munroe would be forever linked in high school lore, but their futures were determined by the racial attitudes of the day. McFayden went on to pitch for 17 years in the major leagues; including 7 with the Boston Red Sox and 6 with the Boston Braves. Munroe, however, never got that chance. With Jackie Robinson's debut 23 years away, there would be no opportunity for Elmer to make to the major leagues. At only 19 years old and just a year out of high school, Elmer's reputation caused him to be hired as head baseball coach by Calais Academy in Maine. Elmer, not wanting to be embarrassed, had contacted the school asking them if they knew he was black. In response, the school had sent him a telegram that read: “Color makes no difference. Come as soon as possible.” Munroe would later pitch for clubs like the Boston Colored Tigers, the Cambridge City Club, the Hagan Club, Cuban All-Stars and the Boston Royal Giants. His teammates and opponents, including Danny McFayden, all believed that Elmer Munroe had major league talent. “He had the stuff on the ball and the heart it takes to pitch in the majors.”–Danny McFayden on Elmer Munroe. Major league talent that he would never get to display at that level. Elmer died in 1970 at Boston City Hospital.

During the commission’s February 10 meeting, Christopher Gordon, president of WynnDevelopment, said the size of the events center has been scaled back from 1,800 seats to 999 seats. “We think a theater of this size can be a major addition to the cultural scene in Massachusetts,” he said. “We think this can really be a gem.” In addition, Gordon spoke highly of the Lower Broadway Master Plan that was created by city officials in 2013 and the Urban Renewal Plan that followed in 2015. “They were really trying to make sure this district came alive,” he said. Gordon said the development would feature 20,000 square feet of retail space, the possibility of three hotels and seven restaurants as well as a parking garage with 2,900 spaces. He said the fi rst phase of the project would include the construction of the events center, the parking garage and a much-needed pedestrian bridge over Lower Broadway. “If you’re a pedestrian, it’s not the most comfortable place to cross the road,” said Gordon, adding that the traffi c fl ow is frequently interrupted with so many pedestrians crossing that section of Lower Broadway. MGC Chair Cathy Judd-Stein and MGC Commissioner Bradford Hill raised concerns about individuals under the age of 21 using the pedestrian bridge to get into the Mémoire nightclub. In response, Gordon assured them that anyone who is underage would be stopped by security. “You’re not going to get in,” he said. “You’re going to get checked twice: once as you try to get into the building and once as you try to get into Mémoire.” However, Hill was still uncertain about the location of the bridge. “What I’m wrestling with is we’re connecting a bridge to a gaming area,” he said. Hill also questioned the level of safety in the parking garage. He said there have been reports of patrons leaving their children alone in their vehicle Plans announced for St. Patrick’s Day Senior Social P lease join Mayor Carlo DeMaria and the Council on Aging (COA) for the monthly Senior Social on Wednesday, March 16 at Anthony’s Restaurant at 105 Canal St. in Malden from 11:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. In celebration of St Patrick’s Day, the COA has chosen a traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner complete with Irish soda bread, coff ee and dessert.

Tickets for this event are Shots fi red at Batch Yard Apartments By Christopher Roberson E verett Police responded to The Batch Yard Apartments for a report of shots fi red at approximately 11:30 a.m. on February 11. Offi cers, armed with shields and rifl es, remained at 25 Charlton St. throughout the afternoon, searching the area. “We do not believe this to be a random incident,” police said in a Facebook post. Witnesses stated that the shots may have come from the third fl oor. Residents received emails from the property management company instructing them to shelter in place. No injuries were reported. Opened in August 2014, the apartment complex sits on the site that was formerly home to the Charleston Chew candy factory, which had been vacant for nearly 30 years. Police Chief Steven Mazzie said his offi cers executed two search warrants and recovered one fi rearm, ammunition and fi rearm magazines. Mazzie said that on February 15, a third search warrant was executed on a vehicle that was found in Quincy following the incident. “We are also investigating a connection between an apartment break in the same building that occurred the night before,” said Mazzie. No arrests have been made thus far. Anyone with additional information is asked to call Everett Police at 617389-2120.

Encore Boston Harbor Senior Vice President Jacqui Krum said the casino is fi rmly committed to ensuring the safety of its patrons. She also said Encore patrons are not likely park in the garage. “We do not believe that this garage will be used by visitors to Encore Boston Harbor,” said Krum, adding that it would likely be used by patrons visiting the events center or staying at one of the hotels. As the development would be located across the street from Encore, the question previously arose as to whether or not it would be part of the casino. It was this question that prompted Wynn Development to put the brakes on the project last month. However, Attorney Samuel M. Tony Starr, counsel for WynnDevelopment, was able to lay that matter to rest. “The proposed development is not part of the gaming establishment,” he said, adding that a four-part analysis was used to make that determination. “East of Broadway, LLC will be functioning as a typical landlord.” The commission will hold a public hearing on the project on February 28.

Hosted by the Young Black Excellence Society, the virtual event featured a variety of submissions in different art forms. EPS Chief Equity Officer Cory McCarthy facilitated the expo, introducing each artist and encouraging discussion about their work. Emerging Los Angeles-based film director Richard Monteiro delivered a special message to Everett High School (EHS) students, followed by a screening of his short film, “Beat.” The film is a powerful look at the forces that greatly determine the paths we take. The first-, second- and thirdplace finishers are artists Zakiah Walker and Selma Moutaouakkil as well as poets Neeysa Denning and Gabby De Gouveia, who tied for third place. All four students walked away with prizes, including AirPods for Walker and free lunch for Moutaouakkil and five of her friends as well as free lunch for Denning and De Gouveia and a teacher of their choice. “There are not enough superlatives to describe the talents and abilities of our students,” said McCarthy. “Our expo is a meaningful way to showcase this work and, more importantly, give it the attention and consideration it deserves.” The prize-winning poems are below. Lotus Flower By Neeysa Denning Lotus Flower in a tree Right across the big blue sea. In the tree attached to a blossom, the flower lies alone. Other flowers having fun blowing in the gleaming sun. Flowing in the spring breeze as bees lie on their petals, colored gold like shining metals. Oh so suddenly, a squirrel! No a flying squirrel! Soaring in the tree, playful as can be. “Little Lotus Flower, why so blue? Usually I oversee a pink-ish hue…” Lotus Flower shyly drooping her petals explained… “I’d like to play too with all the others, But I suppose they all know each other… I wouldn’t want to interrupt, as the flowers merrily erupt!” But how would little Lotus know if she didn’t try to introduce and wave her petals “hi.” Sometimes ones can be so shy, but the flower has a lot to offer. Lovely oh so lovely smile when she’s making art. Oh and not to mention her humongous heart. Terrific sense of humor as she laughs brightly. Up helping fellow flowers lay to sleep nightly. Super incredible in every single way. “If you want to make a friend or two Lotus, then make some now today!” Sometimes it is hard to introduce oneself, but determined Lotus leaped and yelped. Roses, Tulips, Daisies, galore. Dandelions, Lilacs and many more! All of which stared, but stared with a smile. “Come sweet Lotus, let’s sway for a while!” Acceptance and fun with friends of many… Is much appreciated but still EXCELLENCE | SEE PAGE 20 Artwork created by Everett High School student Zakiah Walker was on display during the Cultural Arts Expo on February 2.

Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins said the funding came in at the right time. “This comes at a crucial time where we really need to invest in youth programs,” she said. “I hope it is applied in engaging ways that promote community building, a sense of belonging and creates opportunities for our young residents.” This year, the state awarded 15 municipal grants totaling $11.2 million to 27 cities and 14 research partners. “The Shannon Grant program invests in community-based efforts to connect with at-risk youth and help put them on a pathway to future success,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “The long-term positive impacts of the programs funded by Shannon Grants demonstrate the importance of a collaborative approach to addressing youth violence and improving the safety of our communities.” Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy said the grants continue to play a vital role to alleviate youth violence. “The successful initiative helps to build meaningful partnerships between police and community while providing at-risk or gang-involved youth with alternative pathways to healthy, productive and fulfilling lives,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy. Last year alone, the grants provided funding for 140 fulltime equivalent positions to address youth gang violence. Grant funding was also used to serve more than 15,000 young people across Massachusetts. The grant program was established in 2006 in memory of State Senator Charles Shannon of Winchester. He represented the Second Middlesex District from 1991 until his death in 2005 following a five-month battle with leukemia. Prior to his election to the Senate, Shannon was a Lexington police officer for 20 years. He was also a Town Meeting member in Winchester and was on the town's Board of Assessors from 1987 to 1990. City announces COVID-19 vaccination clinics during February Vacation T he city is partnering with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) to provide COVID-19 vaccination clinics during School Vacation Week from February 20–26.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts is partnering with DPH to help sponsor the event, providing funding Wynn Resorts to sell Encore property for $1.7B W By Christopher Roberson ynn Resorts, the parent company of Encore Boston Harbor, recently announced that the prestigious 1 Broadway address will be sold to Realty Income in San Diego for $1.7 billion. “Encore Boston Harbor is the premier gaming resort on the East Coast and the valuation we achieved in this sale reflects the property’s quality,” said Craig Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts. “Equally important, the bespoke structure and terms of the lease allow us to maintain a great deal of operating flexibility across economic cycles. The proceeds of the transaction also provide us with liquidity for several of our upcoming development projects and the potential to retire other debt.” Under the terms of the agreement, Wynn will enter into a triple-net lease with Realty Income for Encore. Therefore, Wynn will continue to oversee the operation of the five-star resort and casino. The gaming giant will also continue to pay the real estate taxes as well as the insurance and maintenance costs. On the surface, patrons will not notice any difference. There will also be no changes to the Community Host Agreement between the City of Everett and the resort casino. The transaction is expected to be completed before the end of the year. In addition, the 13 acres across the street from Encore will remain in the hands of Wynn Resorts Development. Therefore, the proposed East of Broadway project will continue to move forward as planned. During his recent presentation to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, Christopher Gordon, president of Wynn Resorts Development, said the first phase would include a 999seat events center, a pedestrian bridge and a parking LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ADVOCATE NEWSPAPER FACEBOOK.COM/ADVOCATE.NEWS.MA for activities and giveaways at clinics. $25 gift cards are available while supplies last as well as a free two-week membership to the Malden YMCA.

Giech is one of the winningest performers in Malden High swim team history, in addition to being one of the top student-athletes at Malden High School academically and as a Class of 2022 officer. Giech qualified for this weekend's MIAA State Championship in the 100 Yard Breaststroke by way of his 10th place finish in the MIAA North Sectional Meet, held at Milford High School. Giech finished at 1:04.43 (one minute, 4.43 seconds) in the 100 Yard Breaststroke event, right behind Eric Xu a senior from Andover High School (1.04.24). The event was won by Paul Shen of Weston, with a time of 59.98 seconds. For Giech, it was a season personal best in the pool, though not a personal best overall, which was 1:02.48 this past summer. Giech said he was pleased with his performance this past Saturday and was looking forward to the State Meet this weekend. "It was my best time this season, but I am looking forward to the competition at BU which will be the best I will face all year," said Giech, who customarily trains year-round with his club team.

And, if things go according to plan, it will be published sometime in February, around Valentine’s Day. Normally, when people think of “the holidays,” they are thinking about the routine-derailing, end-of-theyear extravaganza that starts after Halloween and ends with New Year’s Eve. If a holiday shows up on a T retail calendar, it will probably impact your routine and diet. It is best to use the lesser holidays as a way to mark time on the calendar, as inspiration to stay disciplined. Valentine’s Day: If you are single think about how being in shape might help next Valentine’s Day. And, if you are committed, focus on having a long and healthy life with your beloved. Super Bowl: Eating light early in the day and going heavy on protein (rather than carbohydrates) can mitigate the consequences of eating late in the day (when the game is on). Easter: While watching Heston in “The Ten Commandments” or Brooks in “History of the World,” Easter is about one-third of the way through the year. Weigh in. End of School: The end of the school year generally means a more open schedule, making it easier to make better decisions about food. (The end of school can mean food scarcity for some families. If you are able, please consider supporting a local food pantry.) Fourth of July: We celebrate the founding of our country with a day that off ers chances to make uniquely bad food choices. Eat lightly when possible, and favor protein over carbohydrates. Labor Day/Back to School: Think of summer’s last BBQ For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net and new routine as a way to test, and maybe improve, routines. Weigh in. Halloween: The start of the routine-derailing holidays. Where did you start this year? How do you want to end this year? If you are going to treat a holiday as a “cheat day,” try to cheat in ways that cannot become routine. For example, nostalgia fl avored candy eggs are generally only available at Easter. It is easier to get back to a diet if the bad choice is not consistently available. Happy (lesser) holidays.

Everett Boys Basketball finishes atop the GBL for first time in five years EHS Head Coach Stanley Chamblain's Crimson Tide Boys’ Basketball squad finished the regular season unbeaten (14-0) in Greater Boston League play and 18-2 over. Everett is led by junior Roger Vasquez, senior John Monexant and sophomore Steven Cordero, who are the team's top scorers and are among the top scorers in the GBL as well. The Crimson Tide squad is looking forward to participating in the MIAA Division 1 State Boys Basketball Tournament, which will begin the week after the upcoming February school vacation. Everett is GBL champions for the first time in six years. Lynn English was GBL champions the past two years and Everett was part of the Northeastern Conference (NEC) for three years preceding the reconstitution of the GBL. This season Everett swept the two-game series, home and away, over Lynn English, with convincing wins. Beside Everett and Lynn English, both of which have clinched postseason berths, three other teams are still alive for state tournament play, all needing at least a .500 record: Medford is at 8-6; Revere is 8-7; Chelsea is 8-9. Lynn Classical (6-11), Malden (1-15) and Somerville (0-14) are all out of the running for state tourney consideration. **** GBL Boys Basketball Standings Team League Overall Everett 14-0 18-2 Lynn English 11-2 13-4 Medford 7-5 8-6 Revere 6-5 8-7 Chelsea 6-7 8-9 Lynn Classical 5-8 6-11 Malden 1-12 1-15 Somerville 0-11 1-14 **** Revere Girls Basketball finish 3rd in GBL The Revere High girls basketball team has clinched a postseason MIAA State Girls Basketball Tournament spot with an 11-8 overall record, 10-3 in the GBL.

Part with me and you will fall. We are connected, and such has been, since we’ve gone through it all. There is no danger between us, for we are always safe. For when we fight, we fight with love. For us, the heavens will always shine above. So till the end of time, and for as long as we’re kind, I am your Kite, and you are my Line. Opportunities for staff In its continued efforts to recruit teachers, the EPS is being diligent to look at an obvious and vital place: the Everett Public Schools. “We have talented and dedicated staff members across all levels of the district,” said Superintendent of Schools Priya Tahiliani. “We have to encourage and support present EPS employees who are interested in taking the steps needed to become a certified teacher. Failure to do so would be a disservice to our students.” This year saw the district launch an Emerging Educators Program for substitute teachers, paraprofessionals and other staff members who are interested in becoming certified teachers. In the first round of mentoring in the fall of 2021, 14 EPS employees participated in a five-part mentor program. Sessions were held virtually in the evenings and featured presentations and question-and-answer sessions led by EPS leaders in special education, English Learners, guidance, equity and curriculum and instruction. Those who completed the course received a $200 voucher to take the MTEL Communication and Literacy Skills test, which is a mandatory step for anyone who wants to be certified to teach in Massachusetts. The 14-person cohort will continue to receive professional mentorship as they pursue a teaching career. CTE Partnerships EHS has launched an exciting partnership with the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology (BFIT) that enhances and expands the district’s commitment to providing Career and Technical Education opportunities to students. The BFIT partnership allows juniors and seniors to earn certificates and degrees for free while remaining on track to earn EHS diplomas. Currently, a small group of students are enrolled in the Institute’s Electrical Engineering and Automotive Technology programs. In March a second group of students will attend BFIT to pursue health or HVAC training. ׉ 7cassandra://d05PjG2HNYp00bLrs9T4D6JFsTfbUWxFn2GZJgETVJU`̰b.O#qu׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2022 Page 21 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 influence.

Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ and senators’ votes on roll calls from the week of February 7-11. SOLDIERS’ HOMES OVERSIGHT BILL (H 4441) House 156-1, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would make major changes to the oversight and governance structure of the state’s veterans’ homes in Holyoke and Chelsea. The proposal follows the deaths of 77 veteran residents in 2020 as a result of a COVID-19 outbreak at the Holyoke facility. Key provisions include requiring superintendents of the two soldiers’ homes to be licensed as nursing home administrators and either be a veteran or someone with experience managing veterans in a nursing home or long term-care facility; establishing an ombudsperson for each facility to advocate on behalf of the veterans and staff; requiring the Office of Veterans’ Homes and Housing to submit an annual report including findings on the quality of care provided at the homes at each facility; establishing a 17-member statewide Veterans’ Homes Council to manage and control the homes and confirm and remove superintendents; and establishing the Office of the Veteran Advocate, an independent office that will be led by a person appointed by the governor, attorney general and auditor. “I believe this comprehensive bill takes the necessary steps to protect deserving Massachusetts veterans,” said Rep. Paul McMurtry ( D-Dedham), House chair of the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee. “It’s not about partisan politics, and it’s certainly not about control. It is first about ensuring that a tragedy like this never happens again and providing our veterans the best possible care we can. I believe this legislation takes the necessary steps forward toward achieving that worthwhile goal.” “Today, with the best interests of our veterans and their families in mind, the House took action to ensure greater accountability and oversight for veterans’ homes in Massachusetts,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “This legislation takes significant steps to change how our veterans’ homes are governed and managed and establishes protocols that are designed to identify and correct any examples of mismanagement or inadequate care as quickly as possible.” “I don’t think this bill addresses the core concerns of the people who testified before the investigatory committee,” said Rep. Chris Markey (D-Dartmouth) who cast the only “No” vote. “I [favor] a centralized chain of command and a single person who is responsible for the hiring and firing of the superintendent.” Rep. Linda Dean Campbell (D-Methuen) voted “Present” on the bill. “Like the Inspector General of the commonwealth, I have serious concerns about the new bill,” said Campbell who along with Sen. Mike Rush (D-Boston) last year had filed a different bill that she says was more comprehensive. “The Inspector General has stated in a letter his ‘office finds that the current and proposed structure for the governance and oversight of the homes are flawed,’” said Campbell. Campbell said that her bill included provisions that are not in the current measure including ones that would have elevated the secretary of veterans’ services to a full Cabinet-level position and given the governor authority to appoint or remove a facility’s superintendent and deputy superintendent based on consultation with other officials. Campbell continued, “In the original bill filed, we identified qualifications for service on a statewide council with expertise in financial management, health care administration, clinical services, treatment of PTSD and labor relations, among others. Our original bill intends for statewide representation on this council, as these homes are for all veterans in the commonwealth, not just veterans located geographically near to the homes. Accordingly, the original bill also calls for participation by a female veteran, the fastest growing population of any veterans’ group and a member of the LGBTQ veterans’ community, among other veterans’ groups that served in various conflicts. The bill passed by the House … has none of these provisions and no qualifications to serve on this council.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes DRUG COSTS (S 2651) Senate 39-1, approved and sent to the House a bill aimed at addressing the high and rapidly increasing costs of prescription drugs in the Bay State. A key provision provides immediate price relief for insulin used by one in ten people living with diabetes who must take it daily or risk major health problems. The measure limits out-of-pocket spending for insulin by eliminating deductibles and coinsurance and capping co-pays at $25 per month. Rising insulin prices have resulted in some people paying out-ofpocket costs of $1,000 or more per BHRC | SEE PAGE 22 ׉ 7cassandra://gPUX1rf0DLCu0NOYPEtaARbZiCJ9hd4mfPpbFlJ6qYA!3`̰b.O#qu b.O#qu PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://oAWORdHz7OS6zn9sUK12Obe8tISkZ7XE90_nyNYrKO8 V`)׉ 7cassandra://LBiU0y3gD5uDMGGTj81gQlyNzb2PX96W0xq4KJM7Kyo͞`J׉ 7cassandra://_DT-wGGHvXXn5d3arsCOg-N9DrvV3rT09w72BsYzHS0)$`̰׉ 7cassandra://7BhWozFez_nW55WdVqGNh5KfllUUq85wrqoSXihp8Ks<:͠bOO#qubט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://ZWoo6gUefylxiL_tla5Bo9FRJCLF4DfnIV6bZ9acZAk`)׉ 7cassandra://W4eHO3kehGJjH9UeBUkSEZKsqOtLaCs-Hn6XnStf8RǗ `J׉ 7cassandra://ugqfLFe8pb44pZkzOdrRcdvhz2l6W2H8vxBkxMbySUk'`̰׉ 7cassandra://b6I9UpaGbCQy_LqHwCoF3lwQceNzssLVOvnz0MCV16It09͠bOO#qucנbOO#qul>ׁ́9ׁHhttp://SavvySenior.orgׁ ׁ ЈנbOO#quk+WO9ׁHhttp://AARP.org/fiׁ ׁ ЈנbOO#qujÁU9ׁHhttp://IRS.trׁ ׁ ЈנbOO#qui9؁n9ׁHhttp://IRS.gov/FreeFileׁ ׁ ЈנbOO#quh)Y̳9ׁHhttp://Taxadmin.org/stateׁ ׁ ЈנbOO#quf s9ׁHhttp://IRS.gov/Help/ITAׁ ׁ ЈנbOO#quew79ׁHhttp://IRS.govׁ ׁ Ј׉E$Page 22 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2022 BHRC | FROM PAGE 21 year, leading to some patients decreasing their insulin dose or not taking it at all. Other provisions include requiring pharmaceutical companies to notify the state in advance of new drugs coming to market, and of signifi cant price increases for existing drugs; providing patients with greater access to mail-order prescriptions; and several transparency and accountability mandates. “This legislation moves the commonwealth one step closer to a system that delivers aff ordable, high quality and accessible care for our residents,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate chair of the Committee on Health Care Financing. “[The bill] ensures that more consumers can access prescription drugs at a fair price, by capping out-of-pocket insulin costs, providing relief for certain high-cost drugs, improving patient access to medications and pharmacies of their choice and enhancing transparency and oversight within the pharmaceutical industry.” “Our Helpline takes calls from people across the state who can’t afford their medications,” said Amy Rosenthal, executive director at Health Care For All. “Individuals and families in Massachusetts have been struggling for far too long to access and aff ord the prescriptions they need, and this legislation provides critical fi nancial relief at a pivotal time,.By passing this bill today, senators took an important step to rein in excessive drug costs, bringing oversight of pharmaceutical companies and pharmacy benefit managers in line with other health care industries in the state.” Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton), the only senator to vote against the measure, acknowledged that there are many laudable parts of the bill but criticized parts to which he objected and resulted in his vote against it. “[The bill] unfairly penalizes individuals who receive mail-order prescriptions by raising the cost of their drugs,” said Fattman. “Many people today use mail order prescriptions from pharmacies because of the convenience and the fact that there are certain discounts off ered for out-of-pocket costs. The number of people that use this program has increased signifi cantly since the start of the pandemic, as it was seen as a safer and more convenient alternative for many people who wanted to avoid going to the store and being in public. The passage of this bill will force all current mail-order pharmacy patients, many of whom are older or ill, to pay higher out-of-pocket cost because they will not be allowed to take advantage of these discounts. [That provision] is a poison pill, and in good conscience, I can’t vote to increase costs for drugs for those who want them delivered via mail.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes DRUG COUPONS (S 1651) Senate 7-31, rejected an amendment extending until 2028 the current law, due to expire in 2023, that allows consumers to use coupons to get discounts and rebates when purchasing prescription drugs. In 2012, Massachusetts was the last state to lift a ban on the use of prescription coupons. “It’s important that we continue to have this particular tool particularly because it helps those who have high out of pocket costs, which a recent state study concluded are twice the national average and the third-highest in the nation,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). “This amendment helps consumers control their out-of-pocket costs and provides further information for policymakers so we can achieve what is clearly our common objective—reducing the systemic cost of prescription drugs and improving the lives of those who need prescription medicines.” Amendment opponents said that extending the authorization for prescription drug coupons is typically done through a provision in the annual state budget. They noted they prefer doing it that way because the budget, with the coupon provision, will eventually get to the governor’s desk and be signed into law. They noted that including it as part of a comprehensive drug bill with an uncertain future is not a good idea. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment extending the use of coupons. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No POSSIBLE LICENSING OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND MEDICAL DEVICE SALES REPS (S 1651) Senate 38-0, approved an amendment that would require the Department of Public Health, in consultation with the attorney general, district attorneys, health care practitioners and patient advocates, to review the existing “gift ban law” which is the marketing code of conduct that bans and limits gifts by pharmaceutical and medical device representatives to physicians. The original ban from 2008 included a ban on the payment and provision of meals to doctors at restaurants and other venues outside of the health care setting. This provision was repealed in 2012 and current law now allows for those meals. The department’s analysis would include a comparison of the marketing code of conduct rules with similar rules established in other states; a review of any enforcement actions taken for violations of the law; a review of opioid marketing practices and direct impact upon increased substance abuse disorders and related deaths; an assessment of the need and recommendations for BHRC | SEE PAGE 23 Sa nir Sa a y Senior Seni BY JIM MILLER Do I Have to File Income Tax Returns This Year? Dear Savvy Senior, What is the IRS standard tax deduction for 2021? I didn’t fi le a tax return last tax year (2020) because I lost my job and my income in March due to COVID. But I got a part-time job in 2021 and am wondering if I made enough money that requires me to fi le this year. Part-Time Retiree Dear Retiree, Whether or not you are required to fi le a federal income tax return this year depends not only on how much you earned last year (in 2021), but also the source of that income, as well as your age and your fi ling status. Here’s a rundown of this tax season’s IRS tax fi ling requirement thresholds. For most people, this is pretty straightforward. If your 2021 gross income – which includes all taxable income, not counting your Social Security benefi ts, unless you are married and fi ling separately – was below the threshold for your fi ling status and age, you may not have to fi le. But if it’s over, you will. Single: $12,550 ($14,250 if you’re 65 or older by Jan. 1, 2022). Married filing jointly: $25,100 ($26,450 if you or your spouse is 65 or older; or $27,800 if you’re both over 65). Married fi ling separately: $5 at any age. Head of household: $18,800 ($20,500 if 65 or older). Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child: $25,100 ($26,450 if 65 or older). To get a detailed breakdown on federal fi ling requirements, along with information on taxable and nontaxable income, call the IRS at 800-8293676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of the “1040 and 1040-SR Instructions for Tax Year 2021,” or you can get it online at IRS.gov. Check Here Too You also need to be aware that there are other fi nancial situations that can require you to fi le a tax return, even if your gross income falls below the IRS filing requirements. For example, if you earned more than $400 from self-employment in 2021, owe any special taxes like an alternative minimum tax, or get premium tax credits because you, your spouse or a dependent is enrolled in a Health Insurance Marketplace plan, you’ll need to fi le. You’ll also need to file if you’re receiving Social Security benefi ts, and one-half of your benefits plus your other gross income and any tax-exempt interest exceeds $25,000, or $32,000 if you’re married and fi ling jointly. To figure all this out, the IRS off ers an online tax tool that asks a series of questions that will help you determine if you’re required to fi le, or if you should fi le because you’re due a refund. It takes approximately 12 minutes to complete. You can access this tool at IRS.gov/Help/ITA – click on “Do I Need to File a Tax Return?” Or you can get assistance over the phone by calling the IRS helpline at 800-829-1040. Check Your State Even if you’re not required to fi le a federal tax return this year, don’t assume that you’re also excused from fi ling state income taxes. The rules for your state might be very different. Check with your state tax agency before concluding that you’re entirely in the clear. For links to state tax agencies see Taxadmin.org/state-taxagencies. Tax Prep Assistance If you fi nd that you do need to fi le a tax return this year, you can free fi le through the IRS at IRS.gov/FreeFile if your 2021 adjusted gross income was below $73,000. Or, if you need some help, contact the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (or TCE) program. Sponsored by the IRS, TCE provides free tax preparation and counseling to middle and low-income taxpayers, age 60 and older.

Mark Montigny (D-New Besford) who also had sponsored the first gift ban and licensing bill in 2006. “The corruption of the sacred doctor-patient relationship by the pharmaceutical industry by schmoozing at fancy restaurants is exactly the consequence that the original gift ban law was intended to prevent. Such dinners contribute to the illegitimate relationship between some physicians and [the] industry that can make some doctors feel obliged to prescribe high-cost brand name drugs, even when a cheaper alternative may be more appropriate.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of February 7-11, the House met for a total of six hours and 26 minutes and the Senate met for a total of four hours and 11 minutes. Mon.
