Michael Marchese, council leader

Michael Marchese unanimously elected Council President

By Juhi Varma

Everett’s new city council held its fi rst meeting Mon-

day night. The eleven-member council’s fi rst order of business, in the beautifully renovated McCarron Memorial Cham-bers, was to elect a president for the year 2014. Longtime alderman and Ward 3 Council-lor Michael Marchese received eleven unanimous votes and will serve as the leader of Ever-ett’s historic new government under the new charter for the coming year. There were no challengers.

Councillor-at-Large Joseph McGonagle stated, “I can’t say enough about Mike Marchese ... about how much he loves the city of Everett. I see him driving the streets at 5.00 a.m. in the morning, worried about the safety of the citizens of Ev-erett. I can think of no better councillor … at this time to lead this board to unify us.”

“I wrote something down,” strong-voiced Marchese said, making his first address as

president. “First, I’d like to wel-come this fi rst board in Ever-ett’s history – congratulations! I congratulate the voters for se-lecting a very competent and diverse group of people who I know represent our city with dignity and respect ... I would also like to congratulate this council for electing me the fi rst president of the new gov-ernment …I can’t wait to start working and get this thing go-ing. I’m very proud and hum-bled to be here.”

The board also elected John Burley as clerk of committees for 2014–2015. Marchese then appointed Councillors Fred Ca-pone, Richard Dell Isola and Cynthia Sarnie to inform the mayor of their organization.

The meeting was over with-in 11 minutes. At the end, Councillor Stephen Simonelli praised the newly refurbished hall, stating, “I’m really proud of the work that our city people can do …. everything’s been done in-house, and they did

Simply fabulousWow, what talent! You can’t help admiring the talented

EHS students who participated in the Everett High School Christmas Concert. It was a joy and pleasure seeing and lis-tening to so many students and their teachers participat-ing in such a wonderful annual event. I’m sure that the one who enjoyed it the most was Supt. of Schools Frederick For-esteire, whose enthusiasm for the performing arts has no boundaries and includes EHS student musicians and vocal-ists. Although you might already know, there are four pag-es of photo highlights in today’s Advocate. Enjoy the pho-tos just as much as you enjoyed the concert.

Speed controlSome of our readers telephoned The Advocate to inquire

about the 25 or so state police vehicles that were scattered along the Revere Beach Parkway from Everett to Medford on Monday during the mid-afternoon hours. A telephone call to the Everett Police was made, and we were told that the manned cruisers were assisting the traffi c congestion due to the Callahan Tunnel being closed for repairs. The next ques-tion is – who’s paying for it? Guess.

Chuck and CamilleIt was a classy, thoughtful gesture by former Alderman

Chuck DiPerri and his wife, Camille, who took the time to send a greeting card to The Advocate, thanking us for our coverage during the years Chuck was in offi ce. Chuck de-cided to pass-up this year’s city election, even though he would have been an odds-on favorite to get a seat. Chuck’s known and respected for his thoughtful views on issues and his mild-mannered, statesman-like way of getting his point across without argument. We wish Chuck, Camille and their family the best.

Early onDennis Gianatassio stopped by The Advocate. Dennis says

he’s thinking of another run for State Rep, but he’s not sure if his hip problem can take it. Speaking of the Rep. election this year, Mike McLaughlin says he’s thinking about it, but he’d rather have his council seat back. That’s just two think-ing about it and that’s why Wayne is everywhere.

Starting from an early age Jorunn Kaczmarek’s pas-sion was music. During her young years she studied piano and flute. At age 11 Jorunn began her violin stud-ies with Dorothy Stahler, a retired Pittsburgh Symphony violinist, in Sarasota, Florida. Jorunn was a member of the Florida West Coast Youth Or-chestras from 1984-1990. Jo-runn rose through the ranks eventually being named a finalist in the “Florida West Coast Symphony Young Art-ists” competition.

As a high school stu-dent, Jorunn founded the “Wolfe’s Gang” Quartet. This group was coached by the esteemed conductor Paul Wolfe, which won the First Prize in the Miami String Quartet Competition. Jorunn was sought after as a soloist and chamber musician in the Sarasota area. Jorunn was chosen for All-State Orches-tra four years straight includ-ing 4th in the state her senior year.

Jorunn graduated in 1990 with highest honors from Sarasota High School and the Booker Visual and Perform-ing Arts High School.

In 1990, Jorunn earned a full scholarship to Boston University. Her primary violin teacher was Bayla Keyes. Jorunn also studied with Ro-man Totenberg and Roksana Sudol. She attained her Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education with focus in violin pedagogy and performance.

Upon her 1994 gradua-tion from Boston University, Jorunn began teaching K-6 general music and chorus at the Lafayette School in Everett, MA. During her 20 years in Everett, Jorunn has been an integral part of re-

building the music program. Her innovative actions lead to the formation of several musical opportunities for the students of Everett; this includes the annual “Holiday Musical” at the Lafayette School, the Spring All-City Choral Night Concert and the co-founding of the Everett String Department in 2000. Jorunn and her husband Ma-ciej co-direct over 425 string students city-wide including the Everett High School Hon-ors Orchestra.

Jorunn has received numerous teaching awards including two “Golden Apple Awards for Excellence in Teaching” from the City of Everett. She was also ap-pointed director and pro-ducer of the Everett Public Schools Annual Memorial Day Production held each May.

Jorunn also enjoys private violin teaching in the studio she shares with her husband in Georgetown, MA. The Kac-zmarek Studio was founded in 1998 and enrolls students from age 2-adult on violin and viola. In 2011, the Kac-zmareks founded an “Early Learning” String Program in the Rockland Montessori Academy. Today the program is 30 students strong with ages varying from 2 to 6 years old.

Currently, Jorunn teaches K-8 Music, two 4-8 cho-ruses, and all strings at the Lafayette School as well as co-directing the High School Orchestra and overseeing the entire String Program. “Mrs. K.” as she is known to the kids loves teaching and believes “Music is for All!” Please welcome Mrs. Jorunn Kaczmarek into the Everett Music Hall of Fame.

COPS FOR KIDS WITH CANCER INC.

Boston Marathon 2014

My name is Robert Hall and I have been a police of-

fi cer in the City of Everett for the past 20 years. On Monday April 21, 2014, I will be running in the 118th Boston Marathon, my 5th Boston Marathon, 11th overall. This year, as I did last year, I will be raising money for Cops for Kids with Cancer, a 501C-3 charity.

As many of us are personal-ly aff ected by cancer, it is es-pecially heart wrenching to hear of a child with this dis-ease. Cops for Kids with Can-cer raises money and ultimate-ly awards it to families of chil-dren who are challenged with cancer. These families are each awarded $5000.00 to help re-lieve the stress of fi nancial bur-dens and hopefully put a small smile on their face. In the last 4 years, including the hospital donations, Cops for Kids with Cancer has given to over 200 families in need, totaling more than $1,000,000 in and around New England.

I am reaching out to you, my friends, family, and col-

leagues to help me in this en-deavor and no donation is too small. Last year, I was able to raise almost $7,000. This year, I hope to be able to surpass that amount. Your continued sup-port and encouragement will

carry me through the next few months of training and 26.2 miles on Marathon Monday!

Brady vs. Manning:

AFC Divisional, Round 4

By Jerry DiStefano

The New England Patriots will fi nally end a seven-year

drought of not meeting a Pey-ton Manning-led team in the playoff s. Brady and Manning have met a total of three times in the playoff s, with the Patri-ots winning two out of three of the matchups. This time Man-ning will be leading the Den-ver Broncos against Brady and the Patriots.

Manning led the Indianapo-lis Colts during the fi rst three playoff matchups. The last time this rivalry took place was January 21, 2007, in the AFC Championship. Manning and the Colts overcame a 21-3

halftime defi cit to better the Patriots 38-34. It was the fi rst time Manning has ever led his team to a playoff victory against Brady and the Patriots. Brady won the fi rst two match-ups: 24-14 in the AFC Champi-onship in 2004 and 20-3 in the AFC Divisional round in 2005.

Brady holds a career 10-4 head-to-head record against Manning; that includes a 34-31 come-from-behind victory in Foxboro earlier this season. In three playoff games against Manning, Brady has thrown for 613 yards, three touch-downs and two interceptions, while Manning has thrown for 829 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions. Brady’s

career playoff record is 18-7, while Manning’s is 10-11. Brady’s individual record and statistics are better across the board than Manning’s. Despite Brady owning Manning in the head-to-head matchup, there is one question that remains: Will Brady and the Patriots come out victorious against Manning and the Broncos this Sunday?

The last time Brady and Man-ning met in the playoff s, the Patriots were an underdog for the fi rst time ever against Manning’s team in the play-offs, where the Patriots lost. The Patriots are now for the

Lots of Love Cat Rescue presents the Cat of the Week!

Lots of Love Cat Rescuewww.lolcr.com

[email protected]

Kittens don’t belong in a car dealership lot. Someone saw them scampering around and cared enough to call. When we started trapping these kittens, we spotted a pregnant cat and after cautiously following, we came upon a heart-sinking sight – many cats, no doubt unfixed. Home was behind a church, finding shelter in sheds and a woodpile. A man visited every day and when hearing his car they would come running, hoping for a chance at the solo food bowl. Emma was one of thirty cats we rescued over the long haul, captured at seven months old, she’s the last of the colony. Many of them share the same sweetness DNA as Emma. She now has all the basics for the perfect cat – she’s submissive, quiet and calm. At about two and a half years old, she catches your eye with her beauty, a petite white and brown-splotched tabby, bunny soft fur, eyes sporting perfect eyeliner. Emma’s fine with other cats, gentle dogs and loves the affection from her foster mom, she’s learned that connecting with people is good. It’s rewarding to observe and partake in, because when you adopt a cat that was feral - you will be comforted by knowing you played a part in her journey off the street to curling at your feet.

Undefeated Tide boys’ hoop ranks No. 5 in state

Blast Cambridge to move up in rankingsThe Everett High Crimson Tide boys’ basketball team

keeps moving up in the polls (rankings) with each week that passes. Everett is now ranked the No. 5 team in

the state after an impressive 74-63 come-from-behind victory against No.13 Cambridge Rindge and Latin la st

Friday night. Everett was ranked No. 11 last week.

By Jerry DiStefano

The Tide had a tough time for the majority of the game

against Cambridge – they were behind until the fourth quar-ter. The Tide found themselves down 42-36 at the beginning of the third quarter. Everett needed something to change in the second half, and that is when Ernie Chatman and Gary Clark put their imprint on the game.

C h a t m a n w a s p l ay i n g through a hurt ankle and had major trouble moving lateral-ly in the fi rst half. Clark sat out most of the fi rst half dealing with an injury and foul trou-ble. Chatman took over the third quarter, and he scored six unanswered points in the third to spark the Tide. Chat-man helped bring Everett to within one point of Cambridge

at the end of the third.It was Clark’s turn in the

fourth quarter: He scored eight of his 12 second-half points in three minutes in the fourth. Chatman’s and Clark’s performances were a bit of a surprise to Everett coach John DiBaso.

“Ernie and Clark are not only very talented players, but tough kids,” DiBaso said. “We are very fortunate to have these two young men in Ever-ett uniforms.”

With Chatman and Clark be-ing non-factors in the fi rst half, Everett relied on their depth and defense to keep them in the game early-on against Cambridge.

“We went 12 deep tonight, which I feel is a major ad-vantage over most opposing

Lady Tide hoop finding range

against GeorgetownTalia Mirra leads the way with awesome defense

The Everett High girls’ Crimson Tide basketball team had a second chance against Georgetown. They had lost their fi rst encounter against them

54-46. The Tide did not disappoint – they avenged their earlier loss to the tune of a 59-36 victory.

By Jerry DiStefano

Everett led the game from the tip, but held a slim 14-8 lead

after the fi rst quarter and led 25-22 at the end of the fi rst half.

“ We did not play with enough intensity and passion in the fi rst half against George-town,” Everett Coach Tammy Turner said. “The girls respond-ed better than I ever could have imagined in the second half, which was great to coach and watch.”

The Tide turned the tables in the second half, and the dif-ference between the fi rst and second half was Everett’s de-

fense. Everett’s Talia Mirra set the tone for the Tide defense; she shut out Georgetown’s leading scorer for the entire second half.

“Mirra’s defensive eff ort real-ly sparked the rest of the girls,” Turner said. “Mirra’s intensity rubbed off on everyone and really led our best defensive eff ort of the season. Our de-fensive unit was able to cre-ate havoc in full-court and half-court situations. We were able to force Georgetown into twice as many turnovers … from the fi rst half to the sec-ond half, which is a great sign going forward.”

Everett started their second half dominance in third quar-ter – they outscored George-town 14-5 in the third. The Tide was even more impres-sive in the fourth, when they outscored the Royals 20-9. Mir-ra, who was the defensive start on defense, helped spark the Everett off ense in the second half. Leading the way for the Tide was Savannah Spinney, who scored a game-high 18 points. Also reaching double fi gures for Everett was Netta Johnson (12 points) and Talia Riccioli (11 points).

The Tide have had their ups and downs this season but are once again over .500, with a re-cord of 3-2. Everett will be look-ing to take this momentum against Georgetown and un-leash it against the rest of the Greater Boston League.

teams,” DiBaso said. “We had guys hurt, in foul trouble, but the men stepped up through the adversity.”

T i m m a n c e M c K i n n e y

stepped up for the Tide and scored 12 points. The Tide defense held Cambridge’s best player (Isaiah McLeod) to just 12 points, with sever-

al baskets coming late in gar-bage time. Chatman ended up with 16 points, and Clark fi nished with 15 points and eight rebounds.

Everett is now 7-0 and meets Malden next.

Guest Commentary

100 years of the Federal Reserve

By Dr. Mark Hendrickson

Editor’s note: A longer version of this article fi rst appeared at Forbes.com.

On Dec. 23, 1913, President Woodrow Wilson signed

the Owen Glass Act, creat-ing the Federal Reserve. Look-ing back, what has the Fed ac-complished during the last 100 years?

The stated original purpos-es were to protect the sound-ness of the dollar and banks and also to lessen the jarring ups and downs of the business cycle. Oops.

Under the Fed’s supervision, boom and bust cycles have continued. Three of them have been severe: the Great Depres-sion, the stagflationary peri-od of 1974-82, and the current “Great Recession.” Bank fail-ures have occurred in alarm-ingly high numbers. Depend-ing on what measurements are used, the dollar has lost be-tween 95 and 98 percent of its purchasing power. (Amazing-

ly, the Fed’s offi cial position to-day is that infl ation is not high enough, so the erosion of the dollar continues as a matter of policy.)

Having failed to achieve its original goals, the Fed also has had a miserable record in ac-complishing later goals. The 1970 amendments to the Fed-eral Reserve Act stipulated that the Fed should “promote eff ec-tively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.” In baseball parlance, the Fed has been “0-for-three.”

First, the premise that the central bank can “fix” unem-ployment is erroneous. It is based on the Phillips curve—the discredited academic theo-ry positing a trade-off between infl ation and employment. Un-employment is fundamental-ly a price problem, not a mon-etary problem; therefore, the cure for unemployment is a free market in wages, not any particular monetary policy. The

Fed’s current policy of persist-ing in “quantitative easing” un-til the offi cial unemployment rate reaches a targeted level is the wrong medicine.

Second, central bank tam-pering with interest rates is the fundamental cause of, not the cure for, the boom and bust cycles; thus, the Fed should cease from tampering with in-terest rates.

Finally, focusing on “sta-ble prices” is looking at the problem backwards. The Fed shouldn’t try to infl uence prices any more than a nurse should influence the readings of a thermometer. The “fever” that causes prices to rise and pur-chasing power to fall is sick money. “Heal” the money (i.e., do away with a fi at currency and abolish fractional reserve banking) and prices will take care of themselves.

So, what has the Fed accom-plished during its century of existence? Well, it has become adept at bailing out misman-

GUEST COMMENTARY | SEE PAGE 21


aged banks. In the aftermath of the 2008 fi nancial crisis, the Fed orchestrated the big bail-out of Wall Street. (Why the Occupy Wall Street movement didn’t focus their protests on the Fed mystifi es me.) Its oth-er “accomplishment” has been to become the enabler of run-away federal defi cit spending through its manipulation of in-terest rates.

Politically, the Fed is repug-nant to the American system. Its chairman is commonly re-ferred to as the second most powerful person in the coun-try. In a democratic republic, should the second most power-ful policymaker be unelected?

The Fed is unaccountable. Former congressman and pres-idential candidate Ron Paul tried to get Congress to man-date an audit of the Fed for years, but a majority of his col-leagues seem afraid to take this simple, prudent step. Here, let me share an experience I had in 1981: A young congress-man (later the governor of his state) gave a talk in which he asserted that Congress essen-tially was helpless because of the Fed’s enormous power. Af-terward, I approached him and said that the creator is supe-rior to the creation, and that

since the Fed was created by an act of Congress, it could be reformed or abolished by an act of Congress. The congress-man turned ashen and fell si-lent. You can decide for your-self whether congressmen are afraid of the Fed or are using the Fed to get themselves off the hook, but unless some-thing changes, Congress will allow the Fed to remain unac-countable.

The Fed is a rogue entity. As I mentioned in my article about Ben Bernanke, the Fed has arro-gated to itself arbitrary powers to create however much mon-ey it wants and buy whatever fi nancial assets—whether gov-ernment, private, or even for-eign—it chooses. The Fed even keeps its own Inspector Gener-al in the dark.

It is anomalous that there should be such a powerful, un-restrained institution as the Fed in our body politic. The Fed’s centennial is nothing to cele-brate. Instead, this institution of awesome, arbitrary powers makes a mockery of constitu-tional checks and balances. It poses a threat, not just to our currency and economic well-being, but to liberty itself. It’s a tragedy that this institution has lasted as long as it has.

second straight time an un-derdog against Manning’s team in this year’s playoff s. The Patriots were on the road the last time they fell short against Manning in the playoff s, and the Patri-ots this year will be play-ing in Denver. The most re-cent trends appear to point in the favor of Manning and the Broncos.

All these statistics, with some favoring the Patriots and some favoring the Bron-cos, mean zilch when 3:00 p.m. Sunday comes rolling around. It will not matter that Brady has the most all-time playoff victories in NFL

history, and it will not mat-ter that Manning has a 3-1 interception-to-touchdown ratio in the playoff s against the Patriots. What matters is, who will be the best team this Sunday and what quar-terback will help lead their team to the Super Bowl in 2014, Brady or Manning?

The answer to the sec-ond question is Brady. This year’s Patriots team is similar to the Patriots teams in the early 2000s that won three-out-of-four Super Bowls. The Patriots accumulated a to-tal of 234 rushing yards last week against the Colts in the AFC Divisional Round, with

LeGarrette Blount account-ing for 166 of those rushing yards and four touchdowns. Brady, like the Patriots of the past, does not need to carry the whole load on of-fense. The Patriot defense has also picked up their play, with the defense intercept-ing Andrew Luck four times in the AFC Divisional round.

Brady and the Patriots will send Manning home with another playoff dis-appointment, 32-29. That score is the same score as when the Patriots defeat-ed the Carolina Panthers in the 2004 Super Bowl. Coin-cidently, John Fox was the coach of that Panthers team and is the coach of this year’s Broncos team.

Fire Safety Tips for Home Medical Oxygen Users

The use of home oxygen sys-tems has increased over

the past decade and the Ev-erett Fire Department has re-sponded to a number of inci-dents recently involving med-ical oxygen use in the home. Chief David Butler would like to make sure that anyone us-ing medical oxygen practices the good fi re safe behaviors when oxygen is in use. Oxy-gen itself does not burn but a fi re needs oxygen to start and to keep burning. When more oxygen is in the air, the fi re will burn hotter and fast-er. Smoking should not be al-lowed in a home where oxy-gen is used. Even if oxygen is not being used, it may have

saturated the home includ-ing clothing, curtains, furni-ture, bedding, hair, and any-thing in the area.

Safety Tips • Never smoke in a home

where oxygen is used. • Post “no smoking” signs in

and outside of the home to re-mind residents and guests not to smoke.

• If oxygen is used in the home, the amount of oxygen in the air, furniture, clothing, hair, and bedding goes up, making it easier for a fire to start and spread. This means that there is a higher risk of both fi res and burns.

• Never use an open fl ame,

such as candles, matches, wood stoves, and sparking toys, when oxygen is in use.

• People who may have dif-fi culty escaping a fi re should have a phone near their bed or chair.

• Make sure that the home has smoke and carbon mon-oxide alarms. Test them at least monthly.

• Have a home fire escape plan with two ways out of ev-ery room and an outside meet-ing place.

• Practice the plan at least twice a year.

If you have any questions please contact the Everett Fire Prevention Offi ce at 617-394-2349.

Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras Presents

PUCCINI’S TOSCASemi-Staged Performance

Sunday, January 19, 2014, 3pm at Sanders Theatre at Harvard University

TOSCA - One Performance Only

Over one hundred young musicians from the Bos-

ton Youth Symphony Orches-tras’ (BYSO) premier orches-tra, Boston Youth Symphony (BYS) including 17 year old Ev-erett resident Jennifer Riche on Violin, will bring to life one of the most popular operas ever written - Puccini’s Tosca. A melodrama in three acts, To-sca is a tragic tale of love and loss that becomes a struggle for survival. Floria Tosca, a cele-brated opera singer who has all of Rome at her feet, is caught between two men – her lov-er and handsome painter, Ca-varadossi and Scarpia, a cor-

rupt chief of police who en-gage in a fi erce battle of wills in this stormy tale of desire and deception. Tosca captures the events of a mere 17 hours in the year 1800 amidst the polit-ical turmoil of Rome. Puccini’s captivating music will present the young musicians perform-ing center stage, profession-al singers in the coveted main roles, Handel and Haydn Soci-ety Chorus, Boston Children’s Chorus and Convivium Musi-cum, all joining together in this one-time only performance.

This performance of Tosca will be conducted by BYSO Mu-sic Director, Federico Cortese, Edward Berkeley as Stage Di-rector and will feature Handel and Haydn Society Chorus, Boston Children’s Chorus and Convivium Musicum. BYSO presents this opera perfor-

mance in collaboration with The Consulate General of Italy in Boston. This one time only opera performance takes place on Sunday, January 19, 2014 at 3pm at Sanders The-atre at Harvard University at 45 Quincy St. Cambridge,

Guest Commentary

January is National Stalking Awareness MonthFourteen years ago this month, an explosion rocked an

Everett apartment killing a woman and changing forever the way we look at the issue of stalking in Massachusetts.

By Peter J. Koutoujian & Laura R. Van Zandt

In 2000, Sandra Berfi eld – a resident of Everett who worked as a waitress

in Medford – was murdered by a cus-tomer who had stalked her for over two years. During the month of January, designated as National Stalking Aware-ness Month, we remember Sandra as well as the 6.6 million victims of stalk-ing throughout the United States.

In her case, Sandra recognized she was being stalked and took active steps to protect herself by alerting local law enforcement. Unlike the majority of fe-male stalking victims, Sandra had no personal relationship with her stalker, making it impossible for her to obtain a criminally enforceable restraining or-

der at the time.Sandra knew she was in grave dan-

ger and told people she feared what her stalker would do. She went so far as to set up cameras at her home and at one point her stalker served a six-month prison sentence for damaging her car, but in the end, Sandra was right – and despite her eff orts to ensure her safety, she was killed.

After Sandra’s death, her sister Cher-yl Darisse began a 10-year crusade to change Massachusetts law in an eff ort to protect people in similar situations. In 2010, the Legislature passed and Governor Patrick signed a law that al-lows those in Sandra’s position to ob-tain criminally enforceable restraining orders in cases where the victim and the perpetrator have never had an in-

timate family or dating relationship. As we mark the 10th anniversary of

the fi rst National Stalking Awareness Month, it is incumbent upon all of us to better understand the warning signs and educate ourselves about this com-plex and devastating crime.

Stalking remains one of the most misunderstood and as a result, under-reported crimes. Unlike other crimes that are defi ned by a single incident, stalking is a series of acts or conduct that – in isolation – might otherwise seem benign or noncriminal. It is why education, awareness and recognition of the signs of stalking are critical.

It is important that victims trust their instincts and ignore pressure to down-play stalking behavior. If you are unsure about whether the behavior of a family member, work colleague, neighbor, or stranger crosses the line by making you feel uneasy or in fear for your personal safety, please contact one of the many

victims’ rights organizations in our area to speak with a victim advocate to talk through your concerns and options.

After 10 years of fighting for in-creased rights for stalking victims on Beacon Hill, Sandra’s sister Cheryl was successful in giving them more of the protections they deserve. Now it’s our turn. Together, we can help to protect victims and ensure off enders are held accountable.

CITY RECEIVES

GRANT FROM

Mayor Carlo DeMaria and the Department of Planning and Development are pleased to announce that the City

has received a Technical Assistance Grant from Mass Hous-ing. The $15,000 grant, along with an additional $5000 grant from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, will be used to analyze housing needs throughout the City and create a Housing Production Plan to address those needs. Such a plan will bring the City in compliance with Mass General Law re-garding aff ordable housing. The creation of the plan will be a year-long process, which will include upcoming public fo-rums later in the Spring.

This is the seventh consec-utive year that BYSO presents a full, semi-staged opera per-formance and is the only US youth orchestra to have done so. BYSO has repeatedly per-formed their annual opera per-formance to sold out audiences and historically has presented three Mozart operas followed by 3 years of presenting Ver-di’s operas. BYSO’s semi-staged production of Puccini’s Tos-ca will be sung in Italian with English supertitles. This per-formance contains sensitive subject matter for young chil-dren. Running time is over 2½ hours. Only children ages 10 and older will be admitted to this performance.
