The Everett Independent • Wednesday, March 11 2015 Page 2 LONG ISLAND TO ISLAND END PHOTO BY PAUL KOOLLOIAN Many travelling along the Tobin Bridge or Rt. 99 or anywhere near the Produce Center/Admiral’s Hill area might have found themselves severely perplexed by the appearance of a new steel bridge seemingly plopped onto the banks of the Island End River. What is it and where did it come from were the most common refrains. Well, it seems the large span of bridge is actually the Long Island Bridge, which used to hold buses carrying homeless folks to the Long Island Shelter in Boston Harbor. Of course, in what was big news last year, state officials condemned the bridge and the shelter had to be temporarily shut down. Now, the bridge is being replaced, but large pieces of the old bridge are coming to Island End to be torn apart and sold for scrap in the Everett/Chelsea scrap yards.

Thomas Martin, President of Middlesex Gases & Technologies, recently presented a check in the amount of $500, to Mayor DeMaria and Carolyn Lightburn, Director of Human Services. Middlesex Gases & Technologies is an industry leader in the distribution of a wide range of specialty, microbulk and bulk gases along with related products and safety equipment. Since its inception in 1949, Middlesex Gases has proven itself to be a trusted and reliable leader in the specialty/rare gas industry. Due to the generous support from local businesses and residents, each year Human Services is able to provide emergency services to support hundreds of local families, children, and seniors. “I am thankful the City of Everett has the support of the business community,” states Mayor DeMaria, “Without their help, we would not be able to provide assistance to as many families in Everett. They realize the need in our community and they once again generously donate to our Human Services program.” Left to Right- Joetta Yatkins (Credit Manager), Mayor DeMaira, Thomas Martin (President), Jake Condon (Sales Consultant), Carolyn Lightburn (Director of Human Services) Wynn // CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 companies and required extraordinary non-gaming amenities that will ensure that Massachusetts casinos are the most attractive, highly-competitive and true destination-resort facilities. In addition, the Commission closely monitors long term industry trends as opposed to more short term market variations. We are confident that our licensees will develop top-quality resorts that will withstand a competitive environment.” In a conference call last month with financial analysts, Steve Wynn talked about Macau and how the Everett property and resurgence in Las Vegas are now part of the longterm plan to deal with changes in the industry – as is being seen now in Macau. “People with money are destabilized at the moment in China. I think, and you were seeing that all across mainland China, that people are being cautious,” Wynn said in the conference call. “There's an uncertainty in China these days about things that are a little foreign to us here. What is expected of them? What's the relationship of Chinese businessmen to Chinese government officials? Is corruption as widespread as people say it is?...Now it's comforting to note that the liaison officer who represents the central government in Juhai that looks over Macau made a public statement when I was there last week that there is little or no evidence of any government officials gambling away their money in Macau. He wasn't concerned about that. That was a positive announcement by him, and I think he felt it necessary to say that. But we wait for announcements from the government with baited breath to understand what their perceptions are of Macau and what the related activities will be as a result of those perceptions.” Wynn also said something he has often said in Boston and Everett – that he creates an experience that goes beyond gaming. That, he said, has insulated the company from being severely harmed by gaming declines and has helped the overall industry to diversify in the way that Wynn has made its trademark. “Tourism, the broadest definition of tourism, a positive exciting experience that you can't get at home, and surely we recognize that a slot machine or a Baccarat is an experience you can get anywhere,” said Wynn. “Every slot machine on earth looks like every other one; I can't tell one manufacturer from another unless I look at the plate on the side. Every roulette table is identical to every other roulette table no matter what nation you are in from one end of the gold to the other. Our company has recognized that more than any other company in history. Our non-casino revenue always exceeds our casino revenue. Wynn Palace was built as Bellagio and Wynn and Encore have been built, to create a complete tourist destination experience. Only the smallest part of our budget in Macau is dedicated to Baccarat tables, but hundreds of millions - yes billions of dollars, up to $4 billion dedicated to entertainment, shopping, food and beverage, spas, incredible hotel room experiences…” Wynn went on to speak at length in the conference call about the Everett casino and how it’s financing and purpose have really helped to diversify the company overall. “We're feeling great about Boston incidentally, just great,” Wynn said. “We love the idea that we've got that for diversification. We've never ever been in the position we were the only game in town…So speaking for myself, I am delighted with the Boston opportunity Wynn America now enjoys. I think we're alone. This last few months we got our investment grade which we've had from Moody's, now from Standard & Poor's, so our credit rating is the highest in the industry. We financed $1.25 billion of our Boston project a few months ago at LIBOR plus 175, and we're in real apple pie shape just as our financing in China was at LIBOR plus 175; $3.85 billion of the project in China was financed nonrecourse at LIBOR plus 175…Our Boston financing is nonrecourse to the parent in Wynn America, which is as I just said, I'm proud to say investment grade. So all in all, the setup is just right for Massachusetts, and 50 Church Street, Everett, MA Pastor Larry Russi facebook.com/larry.russi twitter.com/cleanslate789 F or A dvertis ing R ates , P lease C all 617-387-9600 In Pursuit of Spiritual Excellence Philippians 1:10 PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST as we wind our way through the complexities of the Asian situation, our setup is just right to keep our promise to our employees and to the government in China.” Even with the spotlight on the Macau situation, stock prices have not suffered. In the wake of more news last week concerning Macau revenues declining, stock prices for Wynn’s Macau division rose 3.2 percent. WYNN SAYS EVERETT IS ‘MY BEST WORK’ While the public has only seen the general outside renderings of the Wynn Everett project, Wynn CEO Steve Wynn said in a recent conference call with financial analysts that the entire design is done and is some of the best work he and his architects have ever produced. With award-winning resorts all over the world notable in their outstanding design, that’s quite a thing to say. “We finished the design of the hotel, and I think it's, along with the Palace, the best work we've ever done based upon 40 years of experience with what's, best of all, with the same group of executives that have learned from all of our past experiences and projects,” Wynn said. “And hopefully our next stuff that comes up will reflect the evolution and the enlightenment that we've been able to achieve because of those experiences.” Full renderings for the Everett hotel have yet to be delivered to the MGC, but Wynn executives have said they likely will be presented at some point this spring.

Within the past several days, two different situations involving students in the Everett public schools have caused much sorrow in our community, and attracted the fervid interest of the news media. I’m speaking, of course, about the Everett High School senior who was seriously injured in an out-of-school-incident and the cell phone transmittal of inappropriate images by middle school students.

I speak for every member of the School Committee and every educator in our district when I say we are doing everything within our ability and power to prevent things like this from happening again. Fortunately, I have a very strong team of educators and parents behind me – men and women who are as firmly resolved as I am to instill the principles of morality in our young people and to keep the environment in our schools healthy and safe. As just one example of how we as a school system are responding, an educational program on the safe and appropriate use of cell phones, email and social media is being held for all seventh and eighth graders. Attendance will be mandatory. At times like this, we must keep in mind that these incidents are the exception in Everett, not the norm. I do not mean to cast aspersions on any particular student when I say that the large majority of students in the Everett public schools are good kids who want to do what is right, in school and out of school. The large majority of our students set out each morning to do what is expected of them by their parents and their teachers. Most aim for high achievements in academics, athletics and extracurricular endeavors. And, over time, most succeed in one field of endeavor or more. Today, as always, we are striving to protect and expand the gains we have made in public education. We are striving, also, to improve the culture of learning, of respect, and of shared responsibility, which is evident in all of our schools. And we are striving to uphold the highest standards of personal conduct throughout our system. Are we always successful? Have we eliminated every problem, difficulty and risk? Of course not. But our schools are thriving. Our system is the envy of many a community comparable to our own. We should never lose sight of the goodness in our children and in our schools, nor fail to appreciate the incredible number of good students and good teachers we have. Proud, as always, to be associated with the Everett Public Schools, I ask humbly for your continued support. Thank you. Frederick F. Foresteire, Superintendent Everett Public Schools COUNCIL Briefs By Joseph Domelowicz Jr. Council approves raise for School Committee members The Everett City Council on Monday night voted 9-2 in favor of giving the School Committee members raises for the first time in several years. The Council approved a raise to $11,500, with Councilors Stephen Simonelli and Sal Sachetta voting against the raise and instead a favoring smaller raise to $9,000. The motion was brought by Councilor Rosa DiFlorio, who had led the effort to review city salaries and stipends for Mayor, School Committee City Council and City Clerk over the last few months. Prior to the vote, Simonelli read from a prepared statement that said in part, “It seems to me the only time the school committee comes before the council is for more money, we believe they’re salaries are high enough and also some members of the school committee have disrespected the council. Simonelli did not clarify his accusation that School Committee members had disrespected the Council, but did continue saying, “It’s time we say no, it is time for the school committee to use their own money,” apparently unaware that School Committee salaries are set in the city charter and need to be approved by the City Council in order to be approved. Simonelli’s comments also did not recognize that School Committee stipends, though approved by the Council, are paid through the School Department’s bottom line budget, not through the general fund as other city employees and the City Council salaries are paid. Councilor Sal Sachetta, in voicing his support for a smaller raise, pointed out his role in denying raises for the School Committee two years ago. “A year or two ago the School Committee came before the Board of Aldermen,” said Sachetta. “At that time I recommended a lower (raise), but the board voted for no raise at that time.” Sachetta’s motion to amend the raise to $9,000 per School Committee member was seconded by Simonelli, but failed 2-9. Clearing the way for the Council to vote on the increase to $11,500, which passed by an identical 9-2 margin. Mayor’s water/sewer budget referred to committee Mayor’s Carlo DeMaria’s proposed water and sewer budget for fiscal year 2016 was referred to a Committee of the Whole of the City Council, to give all councilors a chance to ask questions about the budget before upcoming budget hearings. In addition, the mayor’s office informed the Council that the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) would be submitted for the Council’s consideration at the March 23 meeting later this month. According to Mayor Dearia, the unprecedented weather and record snowfalls made it difficult for department heads who were busy with snow clean-up and response to complete the departmental requests in time to be included in a comprehensive CIP for the Mach 9 meeting. Council refers Office of Gaming proposal to Ways and Means The City Council voted 11-0 to Monday night to refer Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s proposal to establish a new Office of Gaming Accountability and Development, to the subcommittee on Way and Means Mayor’s raise article The Council opted not to vote on the ordinance brought forward by Councilor DiFlorio, to increase the annual salary for the Mayor to $126,252 and index to an average of the three-previous years’ Consumer Price Index, beginning on January 1, 2016. The Council voted to put off a vote on the proposal, until it could receive an explanation of how much the indexing would cost the city in future years. However, prior to that vote Councilor Michael Marchese offered his opinion of the proposal, “I have a problem increasing anyone’s salary by $40,000 in one year, we have employees that don’t make $40,000 in a year. I will not be voting for this.” Wynn closes on MBTA land, gives Everett-only access point By Seth Daniel A key parcel of land that will allow access through Everett to the proposed Wynn Casino without having to cross into City of Boston land passed hands last week from the MBTA to Wynn Everett. The purchase puts into question at least one major piece of the City of Boston’s lawsuit against the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) claiming it was a host community due to the fact that there was no Everett-only access point. Wynn Resorts announced late Tuesday, March 3, that it has closed on land that was purchased from the MBTA for $6 million. The acquisition of the 1.75-acre property, which is adjacent to the 33-acre Wynn Everett site located off Route 99 in Everett, culminates a lengthy public bidding process and advances the construction of the $1.6 billion five-star Wynn Everett Resort. “The process of building Wynn Everett is moving forward exactly as planned,” said Robert DeSalvio, president of Wynn Everett. “After an extended period of public process and due diligence, we’re checking off the boxes and hitting the milestones we need to hit. Right now, there are teams of people in Massachusetts and Las Vegas working around the clock to make sure that permitting, design and planning continue to progress smoothly and building can start as soon as possible.” The access point now makes the use of Horizon Way unnecessary. Horizon Way, a small street half in Everett and half in Boston on lower Broadway, would have been the only access point to the casino site had the MBTA purchase not gone through. Because it is half in Boston, the City has long stated - and against stated so much in the recent lawsuit - that it should be considered a host com- munity for the casino’s use of Horizon Way as an access road. A spokesman for the Mayor’s Office said late yesterday after the news of the closing came out that they had no comment on the news or how it affected the lawsuit. That was because the City cannot publicly discuss ongoing litigation. Pre-construction soil boring has been ongoing for several months at the Wynn Everett site. Site preparation and remediation is expected to start in the summer of this year.

The culinary arts students, string orchestra, ambassadors and moving personal stories left a lasting impression on all that attended. This was the most talked about stop on our tour the entire day, and our Legislators listened to how we can continue to support our cities and schools. I also want to thank Mayor Carlo DeMaria, Rep.

Mayor DeMaria launches Everett fitness challenge Mayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce that the City of Everett has joined the PHIT America Initiative, a national organization aimed at fighting the obesity and sedentary crisis through education, legislation, and local programming. As part of the initiative, the Mayor, along with Energize Everett and the new Everett Community Health and Wellness Center will be hosting the Mayor’s Fitness Challenge, a 10 week, fun fitness program. The Mayor’s Fitness Challenge is designed to get residents moving, active and fit! The goal is to have city residents lose as much weight as possible and improve their health during a 10 week time period...or "challenge.” Every Everett resident, no matter what their condition, is encouraged to sign up and get involved. “Many of the citizens of our great city are struggling with the obesity and sedentary crisis,” states Mayor DeMaria, “This Fitness Challenge will help people jump start their journey to a fit and healthy lifestyle.” Once participants officially sign up, they will be asked to “weigh in” to establish their baseline. Then, they will be offered a series of fun, fitness activities over a 10-week time “self-improvement” challenge. These activities will give every participant the opportunity to lose weight, get fit and improve their health. The Challenge will also cover healthy eating, as well as conduct body fat analysis and blood pressure testing. The registration fee for the Mayor’s Fitness Challenge is $25 per person. Awards will be given in several categories such as, Male losing the most overall weight, Male losing the greatest % body fat, Female losing the most overall weight and Female losing the greatest % body fat. The Mayor’s Fitness Challenge will kick-off with the initial weigh in on Saturday, April 18th at 9:00am at the Everett Health and Wellness Center (548 Broadway), and culminates with a final weigh in on Saturday, June 27th. Residents can sign up, pay the registration fee, as well as see a complete timeline and description by visiting the Everett Community Health and Wellness Center website at everettfitness.org or by visiting the Mayor’s Fitness Challenge Facebook page at Facebook. com/everettchallenge or the Energize Everett Facebook page Facebook.com/energizeeverett.

ALLIED HEALTH ACADEMY STUDENTS TAKE A FIELD TRIP TO THE MUSEUM OF SCIENCE Sophomores in Everett High School’s Allied Health Academy (AHA) enjoyed a field trip to the Museum of Science in Boston on February 27. The museum's “Hall of Human Life” exhibit, as well as the film “The Human Body” shown inside the Mugar Omni Theater, reinforced AHA curriculum. The exhibit featured dozens of interactive stations that explored the way the human body works as well as how various circumstances, choices, and living conditions can alter the body’s natural functions. The AHA is a three-year program for students interested in pursuing careers in the health and medical fields. While enrolled in the program, students are introduced to the anatomy and physiology of the human body and how diseases affect the body’s homeostasis. They also learn First Aid and CPR skills.

Please send to [email protected] or call 781-485-0588 Black Cyan Magenta Yellow First Baptist Church News and Notes We are in the church season known as Lent. It is a period of self-denial and preparation. We deny ourselves certain things in order to get closer to God. Some Christians make a decision to fast—denying themselves food in order to spend more time with God and nourish their souls spiritually through prayer and the reading of God's Word. We also prepare for the Easter season by praying, meditating, and reflecting on the sacrifice that Jesus made for us and His subsequent resurrection from the dead. The family and friends of First Baptist observed Ash Wednesday by having a day of prayer and fasting. We have decided to fast and pray every Wednesday. Last Wednesday our prayers and thoughts centered on World Hunger. This week we are focusing on World Peace and the end to terrorism. Please use wisdom and common sense if you decide to fast. Don't do anything that would be detrimental to your health. This Sunday I will begin a series of sermons on God and His covenant names that will continue until Palm Sunday. It is also Communion Sunday and I invite you to join with us. May our Lord richly bless you! As Christians we believe that Jesus (which means Sav- ior) and Christ (which means Messiah) and that he is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. He holds a special place in the hearts of Christians because of all that he has done for us. He is our Lord, Savior, healer, deliverer—He is everything to us. We invite you to join with us at 10:30 Sunday morning as we worship our Lord and Savior. May the Lord's richest blessings be yours during this wonderful time of the year and throughout the new year. “WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM” Pastor Larry Russi 781-640-5384 First Baptist Church 50 Church St. Everett, MA Sunday service 10:30 am Sunday evening service 6:00 pm Thursday evening service 7:00 pm E-Mail: ljrussi@gmail. com Pastor Russi's Facebook page: larry/[email protected] Pastor Russi's Twitter: twitter.com/cleanslate789 Pastor Russi's Blog: restoreandencourage.blogspot.com Church Facebook Page: facebook.com/firstbaptisteverett Glendale Christian Lighthouse Church News and Notes Greetings to all!!!

Glendale Christian Lighthouse Church Pastor Bob MacDonald 701 Broadway (Glendale Square) Everett, MA 02149 617-387-7458 Freedom In Christ Gospel Outreach News and Notes Greetings from the desk of Pastor Larry at Freedom In Christ. Revival is a word we often use but don't always understand. I believe if we want revival in our churches then we need to yield control to the Holy Spirit. For too long we have looked for revival with limited success because we did it our way. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. If we let the Spirit of God take over we will see those great things that only God can do. Revival is not only needed in the churches and in the body of Christ, it is also needed in each individual. If each of us seeks out revival for our own souls, just imagine the results. Revival, seek it, desire it, pray for it and see what God will do in us and in His body of believers! On Thursday nights, in particular, we have been having revival services because we see the deep need in our own lives and in the church of Jesus Christ, everywhere. Why not join us some Thursday night at 7:00 pm for singing, preaching and praying, all geared toward surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and asking the Holy Spirit to take control. If you are regularly gath- ering with other believers at a meeting house or church building where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached, Praise the Lord! If you are not though let me extend an invitation to join us here at Freedom In Christ for any of our services or consider attending another Bible believing, bible preaching church and see what you may be missing. Our services are: Sunday School at 10:00 am Sunday Worship at 11:00 am Tuesday Prayer Meeting at 7:00 pm Wednesday Bible Study at 6:00 pm Thursday Revival Service at 7:00 pm If you want to join a Saturday outreach give us a call to find out time and meeting location!
