Black Cyan Magenta Yellow Everett Independent Published by the Independent Newspaper Co. Wednesday, November 16, 2016 Running Down A Title Everett ground game overwhelms Andover, earns Super Bowl berth By Cary Shuman The Everett High School football team had a 2-2 record when head coach John DiBiaso challenged his team. Yes, only a couple of plays separated the Crimson Tide from an undefeated record at that point, but some fans wondered in which direction the 2016 season would go. Everett, as expected, rolled to its final title in the Greater Boston League, but could this team continue that momentum and step up its game in what looked like a wide-open Division 1 North Sectional? Everett answered that question emphatically with a powerful 62-33 victory over Andover in the Division 1 North final Saturday at Everett Veterans Memorial Stadium. Everett will play Xaverian in the “Battle to be the Best” in the Division 1 Super Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 3. The Tide stamped their ticket to the Super Bowl by unleashing a ferocious rushing attack at the Golden PHOTO BY JIM VALENTE Everett’s Jason Maitre finds himself in the thick of the Golden Warriors' offensive line as he picks off an EJ Perry pass for an interception and makes his way back down field. Eagles from the first possession and making things difficult all day for Andover’s superb quarterback, E.J. Perry IV. Perry IV, who could be Boston College’s starting quarterback next fall, praised Everett’s defense and the team’s strategy. “Everett’s defense got to the quarterback, got to me - they had a really good defensive line and really good coverage and when they started giving pressure, we started going quicksnap and they were able to jump in – and that was their game plan all game and it worked well for them,” said Perry IV. “Obviously you always come in confident that you can play with any team, but today Everett got the better of us.” Everett linebacker RJ Fialli was one of the key defenders who kept the pressure on Perry. “Our defense played really well,” said Fialli. “We contained Perry. He scored a couple of touchdowns on us but we came back and finished strong. Our defensive line really showed up today and our defensive backs really came back in the second half and got the Pick-6 right off the bat.” Indeed, super sophomore Mike Everett High School head football coach John DiBiaso and his captains, (front row) Bobby Lopes and Michael Smith (back row) Carlins Platel, David Pierre, RJ Fialli, Jordan McAfee, Marvens Fedna, Richardson Maitre, and Duval Paul are pictured after accepting the Division 1 North Sectional championship trophy Saturday. Sainristil delivered a defensive gem on the second play of the second half when he returned an interception 32 yards for a touchdown. He had Everett inaugurates first female Veterans agent By Seth Daniel Everett brought in a new era in the Veterans Affairs office at City Hall, and also made history by inaugurating the first woman to serve in that office during Veterans Day ceremonies on Friday, Nov. 11.Jeanne Cristiano, an Everett resident and military veteran, took the oath of office on Friday to become the first female Veterans’ Agent in the City, filing the vacancy left by recent retiree Joe Hickey. “While our female soldiers served with dignity and honor, they were not allowed to serve in combat roles,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria, noting that more than 21,000 women served in World War II. “Finally, last year, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter reversed that and allowed women on active duty to serve in all roles. Today, I am proud and honored that I can appoint Jeanne Cristiano as Everett’s first female Veterans Officer.” New Veterans Agent for Everett, Jeanne Cristiano, taking the oath of office on Friday during the Veterans Day ceremonies. That was followed by loud applause within the Connolly Center, where her large family and groups of friends were there to show their support. “I will work tirelessly and persistently to defend, honor, support and serve all our soldiers,” she said after taking the oath from Clerk Michael Mattarazzo. “That you for allowing me to serve Everett’s heroes. Never forget these men and women.” Cristiano was a US Army Specialist with the 881st Maintenance Company from 1977-1980. She spent 32 months stationed in Hanau, Germany where she met her husband, John. John was also serving in the US Army with the 19th Maintenance Company. John Cristiano is now a lieutenant with the Everett Police Department. Her two sons are also veterans. One is on active duty as a captain in the Army. Cristiano was a former Alderwoman in Everett and served on the staff of former State Sen. Jarrett Barrios. Everett’s Quiet Hero Lester McLaughlin recalls Vietnam service 50 years later By Seth Daniel Lester McLaughlin is the kind of quiet guy who often is more concerned about his duties as a long-time School Committeeman, as a businessman or as a father and husband, than he is about telling others the amazing sacrifices he made in Vietnam. So it was, when McLaughlin took to the podium during the Veterans’ Day Ceremonies on Friday, Nov. 11, and told his story, he left the room in tears that erupted into a round of applause that would not stop. McLaughlin carries the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star, the United States Bronze Star for gallantry and the Vietnam Campaign with six battle stars – among many other honors. He spoke publicly about his experiences in Vietnam during Veterans’ Day as a tribute to the 50-year anniversary of the Vietnam War – something that many Vietnam Veterans don’t often do given the nature of how they were received by the general public when they returned to the United States. However, many Vietnam Veterans lately have been speaking publicly about their heroic and traumatic experiences given the anniversary that has come this year. “What I’m about to talk about isn’t fun; it’s pretty hard stuff,” he said at the outset, holding back the emotion. “No one who has participated in (war) is the same. You can’t see what you see and do what you do without it affecting the rest of your life…In Vietnam, a lot of times we played Frisbee and threw the football around. We had fun with each other and depended on each other for our lives. We shared dreams of wives, girlfriends, children born and children yet to be born. Our lives were yet unlived. We were all there when others were killed or wounded and all the dreaming stopped.” While in his early 20s, already married and with three children in Everett, McLaughlin was drafted into the Army in 1966. After training at Ft. Devens, he said he was sent over to Vietnam in July 1966. Most of his service in Vietnam came in the dangerous and difficult Iron Triangle near the city of Cu Chi in the Tay Ninh Province. McLaughlin was a 1st Lieutenant in the 196th Light Infantry Brigade on Nov. 11, 1966 and he was attached to the 25th Infantry Division – which was in the Iron Triangle near Cu Chi. “They were getting hit all the time and they needed a blanketing wall and we were the ones chosen for that task,” he said. “There had been a ferocious battle on Nov. 7, 1966 where half my company were killed or wounded. Some of this is hard to talk about.

Those two funds have been used in the past for tax relief, but never before has Everett had casino money to augment that pay down. The proposal was heard on Monday evening when Mayor DeMaria joined the Everett City Council for a classification hearing regarding the fiscal year 2017 Tax Rate and residential exemption vote. Chairman of the Board of Assessors, Bill Hart, offered a presentation explaining the breakdown and anticipated tax reduction plan. "On average, last year, a single-family home taxpayer had a $3,071.48 tax bill, with a 20 percent (owner-occupant) exemption. This year, that same average single-family home with a 25 percent exemption, if you so approve, will pay $2,918.77," Hart explained, urging the Council to accept the Mayor's recommendation. The general consensus was that this tax relief would benefit Everett homeowners but not without further questions from the City Council. Councilor Mike McLaughlin asked, "Why did we decide this year versus any other year to go See TAX Page 2 Messinger Insurance Agency, Inc.

Everett mom Jodi Kelly has been proactively advocating for the legalization of marijuana on behalf of her 4-year-old son, Joseph, since the controversial question was proposed for the ballot last year. Joseph began having seizures at three-months-old and was diagnosed with CDKL5 a few months prior to his second birthday. CDKL5 is a rare genetic disorder that results in seizures and severe neuro-developmental impairment related to the X chromosome. Many children who suffer from this disorder cannot walk, talk, or function. Prior to the approval of Question 4 on the Nov. 8 statewide ballot, medical marijuana became decriminalized in Massachusetts under strict regulations in 2012 that allowed legal use for those with medical needs. These regulations restricted use for minors and only allowed exceptions for chil- Everett’s Joseph Kelly has benefitted from the use of cannabis oil, and his mother, Jodi Kelly, said the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes will allow her to more easily get the oil for her son, a treatment she said has helped him to flourish despite his chronic sickness. dren who have been diagnosed by at least two Massachusetts licensed certifying physicians. Medical Marijuana would only be permitted to children who have tried every other alternative treatment available and were expected to die within two years. Kelly shared there is a struggle to even bring the topic up with doctors, as, "Doctors do not even want to talk about it, let along suggest it, because it was still a Schedule 1 drug - meaning it technically has no medical value." Since Joseph did not meet all of these qualifications, his physicians ruled out medical marijuana and were leery of prescribing him the controversial drug to begin with. As a result, by the age of three, Joseph was already on 10 different medications, and doctors were suggesting an additional one. The new medication they were suggesting is known to cause vision problems, including blindness in children. Kelly said that in addition to him continuing to suffer from seizures while on all of these medications, her son was now in a "zombie-like" state, completely unresponsive. "My child was no longer my child,” she said. "He could no longer do anything he did before. Eating, drinking, walking, or smiling; he was just existing." That is when Kelly put her foot down and proceeded to research med- ical marijuana online, finding that families who administered Cannabis oil to their children with CDKL5 witnessed remarkable progress without the horrid side effects of the other suggested medications. Kelly shared that she administered Joseph his first dose of cannabis oil in the summer of 2015. "It was like a film was lifted from his eyes,” she said. "He started gaining back all of what he had lost. He started coming to life in ways I had only prayed about. Everyone took notice. His family, his teachers, and even his doctors. But again, they still could not support it because they have no actual proof from studies of their own.” Since the rules were so tight on medical marijuana, it had been difficult for Kelly to obtain it for her son. She has imported Haleigh's Hope from Colorado, but shared that many families cannot afford to do this and resort to the black market, going to illegal drug dealers to obtain the substance. On the streets there is no way to completely regulate what they are getting. "Because it isn't readily available, many parents are so desperate to save their kids, they often get robbed or are given 'snake oil,' which consists of 'who knows what’ because there are no regulations,” she said. Joseph has continued to take his dosage via his G-tube, and has shown significant improvement, Kelly said. Joseph now eats, drinks, climbs stairs, and is even beginning to say a few words, something Kelly never imagined she would see her son do. Days before the election, Everett Police took a different stance, urging voters to vote No on 4. Chief Steve Mazzie issued a statement via Facebook stressing the negative impact marijuana will have on communities like Everett. "In all the years I have been working around these issues, the problem with marijuana has been that people do not see the negative consequences until much later after something bad happens,” he wrote. Everett was one of the few cities where the majority of voters (51%) voted ‘No’ on legalization. Statewide, the Question 4 passed easily. Kelly understands that the issue is a controversial one, but hopes people have an open mind as it proceeds to become legal throughout the Commonwealth. "Joseph's story forces people to look at it from a different point of view,” she said. More than 14,000 Everett voters cast ballots in historic election Tax // CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 By Joseph Domelowicz Jr. Some 14,189 voters turned out in Everett last week and in early voting to have their voices heard in the Presidential Election and to determine the outcome of four state ballot questions. In the end, everyone knows that Everett and Massachusetts bucked the national trend in electing Donald Trump as the next President of the United States. 9,439 Everett voters chose Hillary Clinton in her losing effort, while just 3,932 Everett residents voted for Trump. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson got another 307 votes and Green candidate Jill Stein got 164 votes. There were also 185 write-in votes for other candidates and 153 blanks. The top vote getter from Everett in all races was incumbent Democratic US Congressman Michael Capuano, who got 11,077 votes in his successful re-election bid. He was unopposed. Other down ballot candidates running unopposed included Governors Councilor Terrence Kennedy who got 10,808, State Senator Salvatore DiDomenico who had 11,065 votes, State Representative Joseph McGonagle who was roundly approved by voters both here and across the state. However, Everett voters parted ways with their fellow Massachusetts citizens when it came to Question 4, which successfully legalized the use of marijuana as a recreational drug. Though the ballot questions succeeded statewide, it failed in Everett by a narrow margin, after Police Chief Steven Mazzie urged residents to vote down the initiative. Question 4 failed in Everett by a count of 6,853 against and 6539 for. got 10,795 votes and Middlesex Sheriff Peter Koutoujian who got 10,145 votes. Everett voters went along with their counterparts statewide in voting down Questions 1, which would have authorized another slots casino in the state and Question 2, which would have eliminated the cap on Charter Schools in Massachusetts. Question 2 had been hotly opposed by local school administrators and teachers in Everett. Question 3, which called for the humane treatment of certain farm animals being raised as a food source including chickens, pigs and goats F or A dver tising R ates , P lease C all 617-387-9600 to 25 percent [exemption] versus 20 percent last year?" Hart explained, "The 25 percent exemption has just been passed by state legislature, so we didn't have that option before. That's why this is the first time you'll see it." Furthermore, Councilor Leo McKinnon asked if the intention of this proposal is meant to balance out the large increases to property values. Since residential property values are increasing, homeowners won't necessarily see a great amount of savings, even with the 25 percent owner-occupant exemption and the $8 million to offset taxes. It was also discussed whether this tax relief could be maintained for the coming years. "We have the funds and we have the funds for the foreseeable future," Mayor DeMaria assured the Council. “Not only with the Wynn resorts, but with all of the new growth and development in the city." He explained that with the new hotels on the Parkway and other new businesses being introduced to Everett, the City will see an influx of income through taxes where revenue for the City was not coming in at this capacity before. “This is a good thing for the City of Everett; this is a good thing for residents who own property,” he said. “It's not a save all for everybody, but it's weakening the burden. A lot of residents, with the value of the property going up, even though the rate has gone down, are going to see an increase in their taxes. Commercial taxpayers are going to see a benefit this year, which is great." There are 8,537 residential parcels in the City of Everett and 4,095 will receive the owner-occupant exemption, which is applicable to only those who occupy the residential home they own. While single-family homeowners will see a decrease in their taxes, multi-family dwellings will see a slight increase because their property values increased more drastically in the past year, which has been the case in Everett and many surrounding cities as well. The Council unanimously approved the proposed rate and the rates will be $14.48 per $1,000 of value for residential taxpayers, and $35.69 per $1,000 of value for commercial/industrial taxpayers.

Everything begins with superior leadership and our school system and athletic program have that in Supt. of Schools Frederick Foresteire and head football coach and director of athletics John DiBiaso, who’s already an inductee in the Mass. State Football Coaches Hall of Fame. Saturday’s Super Bowl bid-deciding game was another great chapter in Everett’s football history that the late Arn Boardman has chronicled so well. On a crisp fall afternoon, fans from Andover and Everett packed the stands and were treated to a rare matchup of Division 1 college-bound quarterbacks in the Tide’s Jordan McAfee (UConn) and the Golden Eagles’ EJ Perry IV (Boston College). The Everett football team, led by DiBiaso and his staff of coaches, turned in one of the most powerful displays of offense in recent memory, scoring 62 points in the victory and winning the Division 1 North title. And no, DiBiaso did not “run up the score” – he never does - and that’s one of the reasons that some of his former Everett superstars (including his son, Jonathan DiBiaso and players like Omar Easy, Diamond Ferri, and Matt Costello) are not the all-time statistical leaders in state history. John DiBiaso and the Everett football team compete with pride and sportsmanship. So many of the Everett players have taken the skills and lessons they learned at Everett High School and gone on to play college football. College coaches nationwide think very highly of the Crimson Tide program and stay in touch with coach DiBiaso and listen to his recommendations. The EHS cheerleaders and EHS band contribute to the camaraderie and festive atmosphere that one encounters at the stadium on game nights and days, not to mention the splendid Homecoming Game which is in a category all its own. But perhaps what we’ll remember most about Everett’s impressive victory over Andover is not Everett's superb play on the field but Supt. Foresteire’s thoughtful gesture of setting up a hospitality tent and chairs for the Andover fans on the visitors’ side of the field. We’re not sure we’ve ever seen that before – anywhere. When you consider the professional approach that Supt. Foresteire and Coach DiBiaso take in every aspect of the football program – the expert public address announcing by Josh Del Gaizo, the amazing souvenir game program – complete with full color photos of the football and cheerleading teams and the band, the tribute to the seniors – along with the support of the residents in this close-knit community including former Everett players (We saw the great Matt Nuzzo and George Paone Jr. at Saturday’s game) and alumni and the foundation of continuity set by Crimson Tide Pop Warner – there is no disputing that Everett stands at the top of the list of high school football programs in Massachusetts. And on Saturday, Dec. 3, Everett will once again take the field with the title of “best team in Massachusetts” to be decided. Congratulations, Everett High football and good luck in the Super Bowl!

Everett High School, the undisputed public high school champion, will play Xaverian, the perennial Catholic Conference champion and two-time defending state champion, in the Division 1 Super Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 3 at a site to be determined. On paper, the state championship game will match Everett’s high-powered offense that has been basically unstoppable for the past six games against Xaverian’s bestin-the-state defense that blanked BC High, 17-0, in the Division 1 South final. That is not to say that Everett’s defense has been less than outstanding in wins over the three GBL opponents and Merrimack Valley powerhouses Haverhill, Central Catholic, and Andover in the playoffs. Duane Binns, Duval Paul and Company have been on a roll for a long time. The fact is Everett is two plays away from being undefeated and the No. 1-ranked team right now in Massachusetts. The 2016 team now has an opportunity to take its place alongside the greatest teams in Everett’s storied history with a victory over Xaverian in a rivalry that has become second to none in Massachusetts football. The coaching matchup pits two legends of the sport, Everett’s John DiBiaso, and Xaverian’s Charlie Stevenson. Both men are alumni at their respective schools. The Tide have a Thanksgiving game against a very good Masconomet team and then it’s on Xaverian and the matchup that many expected and everyone wanted after the first meeting in September. The game generated conversation on the "Kirk and Callahan Show" on WEEI-FM sports radio this week. Following an interview with former ESPN analyst and former Xaverian quarterback Tim Hasselbeck, host Gerry Callahan termed the Everett-Xaverian game, the gritty Everett kids playing against the elites. TIDE NOTEBOOK Masconomet football coach Gavin Monagle was on hand for the Andover-Everett game to scout the Crimson Tide. Masconomet will be a good test on the holiday. Andover coach EJ Perry said he had scouted Everett in the playoffs and the regular season and was impressed by the Tide’s speed and balance. Perry said he coached his son, EJ Perry IV, and his senior teammates through their youth sports years and was hoping for a Super Bowl berth in their final season together. Perry said Everett was “an outstanding team” that earned the victory. “You can’t fall behind Everett. They are just too powerful.” Former Everett High All-Scholastic lineman John Montelus, a member of the University of Notre Dame football team, visited with Supt. of Schools Foresteire following the final Greater Boston League football game in EHS history, a 43-0 win over Malden on Oct. 21 that clinched the 2016 league title. Everett’s offensive line was immense against a large Andover defensive line. Helber Fagundez Brigante, Michael Smith, Richardson Maitre, David Pierre, and center Bobby Lopez opened the holes for Everett’s backs and gave quarterback Jordan McAfee sufficient time to throw the ball. Mike Sainristil is becoming an electrifying presence for Everett with two Pick 6s this season and kickoff returns for touchdowns. The play calling by the Everett coaches has been phenomenal in the playoffs. The perfect mix of run and pass has produced 144 points the past three games. Meanwhile, the defense set the tone for the playoffs by stifling Haverhill running back J.C. Laguerre and continuing from there. The possible sites for the Division 1 Super Bowl are reportedly Lynn’s Manning Field, Lowell’s Cawley Stadium, and Boston College High School’s James Cotter Field at Viola Stadium. celled in the playoff conquests of Haverhill, Central Catholic, and Andover. John DiBiaso felt the offense’s quick start was essential against Andover, a team that averaged 42 points a game. “Our offense executed and we had some big plays early in the game,” said DiBiaso. “We wanted to get out in front early because we know they’re very explosive and we didn’t want to be coming from be- hind. I thought our offensive line did a good job. We ran the ball well. Marven sprained his ankle and the next two guys – Jenkins and Miller – stepped up and played very well. We executed up and down the field and Sainristil made some big plays.” Everett will play Masconomet Regional on Thanksgiving morning before turning its full attention to Xaverian with the state championship on the line. round of applause for her?” McLaughlin also said that coming home was not a happy occasion, and many like him never got the closure they deserved from Vietnam. “When I got back to California, they told us to take off our uniforms and don’t tell anyone we were in the service,” he said. “Then they said, ‘Welcome home Vietnam Vets.’ I have attended reunions recently of some of those I served with. Life has not gone well for many of them.” He said looking back after 50 years, he wished everyone to know how horrible war is and what young men and women go through in order to protect those in their country. “It has been said that freedom has continued because stout young men are willing to commit violence on our behalf,” he said. “Please do not forget them and what they sacrificed.” At the conclusion of his speech, new Veterans Officer Jeanne Cristiano led a standing ovation that lasted several minutes as the room digested the story relayed by McLaughlin. “It’s truly amazing what Lester did and we should never forget his story,” she said. “He is truly an American hero.” Tide // CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 catch and cut-across-the-entire field run for a third score. Everett’s other offensive stars, led by quarterback Jordan McAfee (8-of-14 for 179 yards) also barreled through the beleagured Andover defense that couldn’t contain the Tide’s multi-faceted rushing game. Marvens Fedna (7 carries for 62 yards) provided the early spark with a 27-yard touchdown run before leaving the game with an injury. Chris Jenkins had six carries for 144 yards and two touchdowns, including a 32yard burst to paydirt.

We had 22 people left. Everyone else was killed or wounded. I knew them all. They had trained in Ft. Devens – all drafted and 19 years old. I knew their families, their parents. “The Air Force and Navy and all Army military services exist just to get those 19 year old kids on the line,” he continued. “At 19, you give these kids the job to find the enemy, fix them in place and kill them… On the other side, their job is to find us, pin us down with fire and kill us.” McLaughlin also detailed the tough times that spouses went through, particularly his wife, Helen, whom he has been married to for 52 years. Asking for a round of applause, he said times were tough for military families during Vietnam, and few know about that. “She was here alone with three children in Everett,” he said. “When I was over there, they held our pay for three months and so she had nothing during that time. She begged and borrowed to get through it. In Vietnam, we were dumped into a black hole. There was no communication and no contact, but we got through it. How about a PAAE sponsors After School Program at Boston's Nazzaro Center The Nazzaro Center and Public Action for Arts & Education recently completed its 10th Annual Arts Contest. The program involved more than 40 boys and girls ages 6-14. The Arts Projects over the course of six months, culminated with an awards ceremony at the Center. Prizes were given for age group categories as well as honorable mention in each division. The Judges for the contest were members of PAAE, which included Joseph Hill, President of PAAE, Alan Rouleau, Board Member, and Richard D'Amore of Northbridge Capital. Josephine Lepore, Art Director for the Nazzaro Center, for the past 15 years, presided over the awards ceremony. "We are so proud to be benefactors of PAAE and their commitment to helping children,” Mrs. Lepore said.

The land is expected to be used right now for construction crew parking in order to keep such vehicles out of the surrounding neighborhoods. The long-term plans are still uncertain, Wynn officials said, but Wynn Boston Harbor President Bob DeSalvio has said they plan to landscape them. It was the first of several buildings purchased by Wynn Boston Harbor to be demolished. GTA Landscaping and Construction of Everett had the contract to demolish the buildings. Councilor Michael McLaughlin, who represents the area, said watching the old lounge come down was a tangible symbol of how Everett is changing, especially in his area. "It was a milestone moment standing on Lower Broadway Saturday morning watching the icon of the entrance of Everett from Boston GT's Lounge being taken down,” he said. “It was one of those moments when you truly see your hard work of four years paying off. To me it is a symbol of the Everett past and the future of what Everett will be.” DIDOMENICO RECEIVES EARLY INTERVENTION CHAMPION AWARD Senator DiDomenico was joined by former Senator Fred Berry and EI specialists from across the Commonwealth at a ceremony at the State House to celebrate the Senator’s EI Champion award from the Massachusetts Early Intervention Consortium.

DEP re-opens National Grid license process on Malden River By Seth Daniel A state environmental license has been held back from National Grid as Mayor Carlo DeMaria and advocates of the Malden River call for more community benefits along the burgeoning waterfront. The state Department of Environmental Protection has re-opened the National Grid Chapter 91 license, and will hold a public hearing on Thursday, Nov. 17, at Everett City Hall. National Grid had proposed work in the area to replace some electrical infrastructure in Malden, Everett and Medford, and as part of that, the company proposed a public improvement of re-building the viewing platform along the river. The public hearing for that proposal was held on July 21, and the comment period closed on July 25. That happened a little below the radar of Everett officials, who hope that the company will do more to provide better access, such as walking and biking paths, along the water. After inquiries, DEP Commissioner Martin Suuberg announced that he would re- open the licensing process and hold a hearing in Everett. “As we were preparing a draft license to approve the matter, we were contacted by the Mayor’s Office in Everett who asked us to re-open the comment period,” said Ed Coletta of the DEP. “After consulting with National Grid, we did re-open the license for further comment.” The comment period for the National Grid license will close on Dec. 9, leaving room for Malden River and open space advocates plenty of time to weigh in on what they think National Grid should do to improve the public accessibility of the riverfront. A major opportunity to weigh in will come at the public hearing tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 17, in the Keverian Room at Everett City Hall, 11 a.m. Coletta said Commissioner Suuberg has also agreed to meet with Mayor DeMaria to discuss the matter as well. “In the meantime, Commissioner Martin Suuberg is going to be meeting with the mayor next Monday for a good discussion on the issue,” said Coletta. STATE REP. JOE MCGONAGLE VISITS CHELSEA SOLDIERS’ HOME Senator Sal DiDomenico recently received the Frederick E. Berry Early Intervention Champion Award from the Massachusetts Early Intervention Consortium (MEIC). This award was created to honor the legacy of former Senator Berry, who served as a tireless advocate for Early Invention (EI) during his 30 year tenure in the Massachusetts Legislature, and to recognize a legislative champion who has delivered results for EI programs in the Commonwealth. Early intervention is a system of services that help children birth to age three with developmental delays or disabilities learn the skills that typically develop during the first three years of life. Over 40,000 children throughout the Commonwealth are served by these programs. “Thank you to the Massachusetts Early Intervention Consortium for presenting me with this award,” said Senator DiDomenico. “Early Intervention has continually been one of my top priorities since I entered the Senate, given its proven track record of providing high quality services to children with special needs. I have seen firsthand how effective these programs are and the critical difference they have made in the lives of the children who need extra support early on in life. It is a privilege to be a voice for early intervention in the Legislature, and I will continue fighting to ensure that every child who needs these services has access to them.” "Senator DiDomenico has been an amazing and tireless advocate for Early Intervention since the day he entered the Massachusetts Senate in 2010," said Joanne Sweeney, Massachusetts Early Intervention Consortium President-Elect and Director of Riverside Community Care Early Intervention Programs. "His ongoing support for Early Intervention has not only helped thousands of children in his district but has positively impacted the lives of more than 500,000 infants and toddlers across the Commonwealth. It was an honor to be involved in presenting Senator DiDomenico with the Frederick E. Berry Early Intervention Champions Award in recognition of his leadership, support and advocacy for Early Intervention services." PHOTOS BY SETH DANIEL State Rep.

Stepping up to fight the opioid crisis Council approves public health clinician and coordinator positions with funding from grants and Mayor’s office By Joseph Domelowicz Jr. The Everett City Council voted Monday night to approve a new line item of $72,000 of city funding to match a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and utilize the funds to hire a fulltime clinician and a part-time program coordinator in the Everett health department, and also requested that Mayor Carlo DeMaria budget an additional $6,000 to hire ten part-time Recovery Coaches to work with the health department in outreach and helping opioid and substance users get the support they need to maintain recovery. The two initiatives are part of the approach the City Council has taken, through its Special Committee on the Opioid Crisis, to help residents get into recovery and stay there. Shortly after the meeting, Mayor DeMaria confirmed through sources that he will act favorably on the Recovery Coach positions as well. “I am glad that the work the committee has been doing will start to help our community,” said Councilor John Leo McK- innon, who chairs the Special Committee on Opioids. “I feel that this is a good start, but we have more work to do. I also want to thank the administration for obtaining the grant funds and for working with our task force and I want tom thank Council President John Hanlon for putting this committee together.” As cities and town across the Commonwealth have begun to recognize the growing Opioid epidemic over the last year, the Everett City Council and Mayor Carlo DeMaria both decided that action needed to be taken. The Council first established it Special Committee on Opioids earlier this year, as Mayor DeMaria brought together members of the addiction treatment and recovery communities with city health officials and tasked them with working together with the City Council to develop strategies to address the issue. Recognizing that there was a lack of trained staff in city government that had the resources to begin working with local residents seeking treatment and recovery services, the Mayor directed the health department to seek grants to help fund those resources. Monday night’s votes will put staff in place, both in city hall and in the community where they can interact with residents who are struggling with addiction.

Continuing his season long assault on the record books, Tyrese Baptiste exploded from 65 yards out to score Everett"s one and only touchdown in the first quarter. His partner in scoring Eagan Geuveia added the conversion for a 7-0 first quarter lead. East Lynn responded with a second quarter score to cut the deficit to 7-6 at the half. East Lynn tacked on another score in the third quarter which ended up as the eventual game winner for the final of 12-7. East Lynn rebuffed numerous Everett offensive drives while at the same time Everett's defense stood tall in keeping the game within range with its own defensive prowess.

Elizabeth’s illegitimate son of of her owner, an Army colonel, died at the Battle of Wilson Creek, Mo., fighting to achieve President Lincoln’s goal- freedom for slaves and restoration of unity to our split country. Elle Borders portrays Elizabeth, tracing Elizabeth’s childhood, her moves with slave owners, her failed marriage to slave, James Keckley, and her upward battle to buy her freedom and establish her own dressmaking business. Elizabeth’s stylish gowns find favor with Washington, DC’s politically connected women, after First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln selected Keckley, not only as her dressmaker, but her personal friend and confidante. Borders captures Keckley’s spunk, integrity, intelligence, networking ability and upward mobility, as Elizabeth gained fame as a political activist, working with Frederick Douglass. She also taught dressmaking at Wilberforce University in Ohio. In 1868, Elizabeth wrote and published “Behind the Scenes, or Thirty Years as a Slave and Four Years in the White House,” a ‘tell-all,” biographical book about the Lincolns during his presidency and assassination. Bridgette Hayes captures Mary Todd Lincoln’s penchant for extravagance, especially pretty dresses, and her petulant, behavior, as she depends more on Keckley for guidance and friendship. In two emotional scenes, one while traveling together, Mary refuses to take a hotel room in the “white section” and stays on the “slave” floor, in solidarity for Elizabeth. But when Elizabeth shows Mary the book she was writing, Mary objected, severing their longtime relationship. Borders effectively retorts emotionally, telling Mary she appreciates the former First Lady’s help and sympathy. Emphatically, she declares they have shared tragedies but Mary can never know, nor experience, precisely what Elizabeth has survived. “You ask BOX OFFICE Bad Habit Productions’ world premiere of Boston-area award-winning playwright Kirsten Greenidge’s one-act, 90-minute play, appearing through Nov. 20, Boston Center for the Arts, Calderwood Pavilion, 527 Tremont St., Boston:Wednesday, Thursday, 7:30 p.m.; Friday, Saturday, 8 p.m., Sunday, 2 p.m. Advance tickets, $21; day of show, $28. bostontheatrescene. com/season/iThe-Silver-Liningi/, or call 617-933-8600. if we’re friends,” Elizabeth spouts. “What do you know about me?” Jade Guerra, Lizzie Milanovich, and Margaret Clark portray several roles, including a slave employee of Elizabeth, friends and relatives of Mary, ranging from carefree children to adulthood. Besides fulfilling the tall role of Lincoln, sporting his own natural red beard and stovepipe black hat, non-Lincolnesque Gabriel Graetz fills other cameo roles. Kaya Simmons also spans the chronological spectrum, portraying roles from age 6 to 35 years old, including the Lincolns‘ happy, doomed child, Willie, and Elizabeth’s son, George. In a post-show one-on-one chat the day after the presidential election, Simmons said how difficult it was for the cast to perform. But they felt empowered, too, aware that the tone of Greenidge’s play was now intensified, its relevance to today’s society more important than ever. Greenidge doesn’t say Keckley’s book was intended to help besieged widow Mary, but had the opposite popular effect. Despite her fame, Keckley died impoverished at age 89 in the National Home for Destitute Colored Women and Children, Washington, DC.

Memory Café starts in Medford December 16 The Community Family, a non-profit adult day health provider, is introducing the Moments in Time Memory Café , a free social opportunity for those in early stages of memory loss and their care partners. The Moments in Time Memory Café will be held the third Friday of each month at the West Medford Community Center, 111 Arlington Street, Medford. The first Moments in Time Memory Café will be held Friday, December 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon. The mission of the Moments in Time Memory Café is to create a comfortable setting which fosters social engagement among those experiencing changes in memory and their care partners. The Café is a social gathering with a relaxed coffee house atmosphere. It is not intended to be a clinical program. In this safe, supportive and engaging environment, participants are made to feel comfortable and to know they are not alone. Each month, the Café offers discussion, purposeful activities, refreshments and friendship. The Moments in Time Memory Café is open to people from all communities who are experiencing changes in memory and their care partners. The Café is supported through a grant from Mystic Valley Elder Services and the MA Executive Office of Elder Affairs. There is an emerging world-wide Memory Café movement with growing involvement in Massachusetts. While Memory Cafés share similar goals and structure, each has a unique “personality” based on their participants’ interests and the community resources available. The Moments in Time Memory Café is part of a larger state-wide network of Cafés coordinated by Jewish Family and Children Services. There are currently no Memory Cafés in the region primarily served by The Community Family. The Community Family provides adult day health services at its centers in Everett and Medford, with the Medford center specializing in care for those with memory loss. Medical care, therapeutic activities, nutrition, and social services are provided to 100 adults daily at these two locations. For more information on the Moments in Time Memory Café, please visit www.communityfamily.org, send an e-mail to info@communityfamily. org or call 617-381-6248.
