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.

Human Services receives emergency services donation
Mayor Carlo DeMaria
would like to recognize Middlesex Gases & Technologies
Inc. for their recent donation
to the Office of Human Services Emergency Services
Program. Thomas Martin,
President of Middlesex Gases

and Carolyn Lightburn, Director of Human Services.
Middlesex Gases & Technologies is an industry leader
in the distribution of a wide

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

community and they once

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

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.

SECOND ANNUAL SAL DIDOMENICO ST. PATRICK’S DAY CELEBRATION
Photos and story by Marianne Salza
Sen. Sal DiDomenico hosted his 2nd Annual DiDomenico
Foundation St. Patrick’s Day Celebration on March 6 at the
Bunker Hill Knights of Columbus in Charlestown. Some 300
guests and more than 70 federal, state, and local officials celebrated the green after one of the snowiest Februaries in Boston
history. Proceeds from the festive evening go to scholarships for
students in the Greater Boston area.
“This is a very diverse crowd we have here,” said Boston
Mayor Martin J. Walsh. “I want to thank everyone for being
here. I wouldn’t miss this. The senator does and incredible job
with this foundation. He is an extremely great leader. I want to
wish you all a happy St. Patrick’s Day.”
Everyone enjoyed a traditional Irish dinner (with special consideration for those honoring Lent) among shamrocks, Irish folk
music, vibrant step dancers, comedy by Tony V., and a resounding bagpipe band. During the excitement, Mayor Walsh and
Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria met center stage, shook hands Governor Charlie Baker gets
with a hearty laugh, and exchanged orange cone parking space involved in the roast.

“When I came to this event last year it was the first time I
walked away thinking I could actually win. That was because
of the warmth, graciousness, and generosity of the people here
in Charlestown,” said Gov. Charlie Baker. “I can’t tell you how
much it meant to me that you showed me so much kindness and
openness when I came. I stayed all night.”

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
CITIZENS OF EVERETT
First and foremost, our thoughts and
prayers go out to the female student from
Everett High School who was injured
over the weekend as well as to her family.
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.
First and foremost, our thoughts and
prayers go out to the female student from
Everett High School who was injured
over the weekend, as well as to her family.
As a lifelong resident of Everett, as
a parent and as the Superintendent of
Schools, I share the emotions of every
resident of Everett who is concerned and
worried about these incidents. I want to
assure my fellow citizens that the School
Department has confronted these situations honestly, forthrightly and energeti-

cally. 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

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.

COMMONWEALTH CONVERSATIONS TOUR
Sen. Sal DiDomenico welcomed Senators throughout the state into the City of Everett on
Weds., March 4 as part of the Senate's Commonwealth Conversations Tour. At the event, Everett
officials met and mingled with several Senators throughout the Commonwealth. Sens. Sal DiDomenico, Will Brownsberger, Sonia Chang-Díaz, Linda Dorcena Forry, Pat Jehlen, and Anthony
Petruccelli spent the day touring schools, local businesses, redevelopment sites, Massport, and a
union apprenticeship program. DiDomenico chose Everett High School to as the setting for the
event in order to showcase the pride that the city takes in its students. Guests enjoyed live classical music, delicious food served by the culinary department, and fine art by Everett High School
students all within the Crimson Cafe.
"I want to thank the students, teachers, administrators and Supt. Fred Foresteire for welcoming
President Stan Rosenberg and the members of the State Senate to Everett High School,” said
DiDomenico. “I knew this was the perfect location to show my colleagues how special our young
people really are. 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. Joe McGonagle as well as members
of the City Council and School Committee for joining us and showing everyone how we are all
working together to move our community forward.”

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.

Inclement Weather—Winter
is so unpredictable in New En-
gland and we strive to make the
best decisions when the weather
forecast raises concerns. If there
is a need to postpone or cancel
a worship service, we will strive
to get the word out to everyone
by Saturday before the worship
service. However, please always use your best judgment to
determine if it is safe to come to
church. As soon as we make a
decision that impacts our worship schedule, we’ll include the
announcement on our website
and on the telephone answering
message.
Mid-Week Prayer Call—We
have set up a prayer conference
call during the week to provide
a way of offering prayers and
concerns during this Lenten season. The hope is that this time
of prayer will allow anyone (or
everyone) to listen and to offer
prayer concerns; prayers of joy,
prayers for health, prayers in
time of need, and prayers for
each other. Email Pastor Dave
for more information. PastorDavidJackson58@gmail.com

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.

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!

about Jesus feel free to give a
call anytime at 617-319-2449.
