Union seeks answer to grievance over fire chief’s promotion

By Christopher Roberson

15 YEAR

PAGES 10-11

n the days following the City Council’s 9-1 vote to make Anthony Carli the permanent fire chief, the Everett Firefighters Local 143 Union is still waiting to hear from the Division of Labor Relations as to whether or not Carli had an unfair advantage in the promotion process. “He was provisionary chief for three-and-a-half years and all of the sudden they rushed to make him permanent chief,� said union President Craig Hardy.

Hardy said that in May 2018, the union received a letter from City Solicitor Colleen Mejia stating that the city was considering using the Civil Service Assessment Center to select a fire chief. “They knew they had an obligation to communicate with us,� said Hardy.

The union replied saying

that Everett had historically made promotions based on the score of the written civil service exam. However, Hardy said the union still offered to negotiate with the city. “We never heard from them again,� he said.

Hardy said that at this point, the union’s objective is to have the promotion process done over again.

During the council’s January 27 meeting, Assistant City Solicitor Keith Slattery said Carli did not have an unfair advantage of any sort. “Chief Carli only had an administrative role,� said Slattery. “You have a valid and legal process.�

In addition, council President Rosa DiFlorio said the council cannot engage in labor-related conflicts. “We are not here to get involved in labor negotiations,� she said. “We are here to protect the taxpayers.�

Eagle Scout thanks Kiwanis

At the Everett Kiwanis Club’s Holiday Dinner at Abbondanza Ristorante on Tuesday evening, Club President Rafael Santos accepted a handmade wooden plaque by Eagle Scout Jared Alphen, son of Kiwanian Matthew Alphen, thanking the Club for supporting his efforts.

Lift Our Kids Coalition holds shoes-and-socks event to highlight needs of children in deep poverty T he Lift Our Kids Coalition joined State Senator Sal DiDomenico, State Representative Marjorie Decker and other legislators at the State House for an event to highlight the difficulty families receiving cash assistance face in meeting their children’s basic needs. As part of the event, shoes and socks were collected to benefit children in need. After the event, coalition members The Home for Little Wan-

derers and Cradles to Crayons are distributing donated shoes and socks to children they serve.

The Coalition advocates for Massachusetts Bills S.36/H.102, An Act to lift kids out of deep poverty – whose lead sponsors in the Senate and House are DiDomenico and Decker, respectively. This legislation would raise cash assistance grants by 10 percent a year until they reach 50 percent of the federal

poverty level approximately four years from now. Families living below 50 percent of the poverty level are considered to be in Deep Poverty. Under the bills, once grant amounts reach half the poverty level, the grant would be adjusted as the poverty level goes up with inflation and would no longer lose their value over time.

“It is unconscionable that we have 50,000 children living so far below half of the poverty level in our Commonwealth,” said DiDomenico. “Children go to school without socks, wearing worn out shoes, because their families have to pay other bills. We can – and must – do better.”

Massachusetts Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children benefits are a maximum of $593 a month

for a family of three, leaving thousands of Massachusetts children below the level of Deep Poverty, currently $905 a month for three. Costs have gone up, but grant levels have been frozen. As a result, the grant buys only half as much as it did 30 years ago.

“Repealing the family cap made children equal regardless of when they were born, but they are still in Deep Poverty. Passing the bill this year would be the first step to bringing them halfway to the federal poverty level,” said Decker. “ Toilet paper and soap should not be luxury items people can’t buy,” she added,

Everett firefighters survey the damage at Posada Food Market after a pickup truck crashed through the front of the store.

Upon arrival, crews found that a white Pontiac Bonneville was also at the scene with damage to the front end. The driver of the Pontiac, Darlene Spina, said Michael Alterio, the driver of the pickup truck, struck her vehicle before barreling through the storefront at 69 Hancock St. According to police, Alterio, who was traveling west

Neither driver was injured in the crash. No further information was available and the cause remains under investigation.

Everett hockey closing in on postseason bid

ot since 2015 has the Everett High School hockey team made a trip to the Division 2 postseason tournament. It appears the Crimson Tide are going to end that drought this season.

Entering this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action, the Tide stood at 9-4-1 and needed just one more point to claim a playoff berth. Sporting a roster consisting of just one senior and 13 players who are sophomores or younger (seven freshman), this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, which includes five players from Mystic Valley Regional Charter School, has perhaps exceeded the expectations of many.

The play of junior goalie Derek Schovanec and the defense has been a big reason for the success so far. And the offensive production â&#x20AC;&#x201C; led by fresh-

Everett had its chances to score but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat Revereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalie, freshman goalie Cam Wickens. Schovanec was just as effective in the Everett net, as he helped keep the visitors off the scoreboard as well.

Tide head coach Alex Naumann said a few weeks ago that his young team appeared to be on a mission to reach the playoffs. Everett won five games all last season and has supplanted that total by four with six regular-season contests left. Over their last five games, the Tide have gone 3-1-1, and they hope to clinch a postseason spot this week.

They hosted Medford on Wednesday and travel north for a 6 p.m. game on Saturday at Rockport.

t was a slow beginning to the season for the Everett High School boys’ basketball team.

But the team has been on a roll since late December. The Crimson Tide have not lost a Greater Boston League (GBL) contest yet this year and have notched wins in 10 of their last 11 outings.

The Tide celebrated their Senior Night on Tuesday with a convincing 74-32 home victory over league foe Malden. Guard Brandon Johnson was the lone senior honored and he was clearly revved up for the game.

Playing pressure defense and making some big steals, Johnson ignited the Tide early, as Everett raced out to a 19-5 lead after one period.

Visiting Malden settled down the pace for the early portion of the second quarter and began to inch back into the game, getting within eight at one point.

But the Tide turned up the pressure again and built a 31-15 advantage by halftime. Everett would go on to outscore Malden by 20 in the second half and coast to the comfortable win.

Head coach Stanley Chamblain said before the game that focus is the key to his team’s success over the remainder of the regular season. “We’re playing some decent basketball of late. We lost to Brookline last week and we didn’t play to our caliber in that game, but that’s going to happen throughout the long season,” he said. “Right now, we’re 11-3 and looking to go 12-3.”

The Tide were coming off a 25-point victory over Medford late last week, and Chamblain said it was a strong re-

bound from the Brookline loss that proceeded it. “I thought we had a good bounce-back game against Medford. We were intense and assertive, and we came out aggressive on defense,” he said. “Where we’re at right now – we know what

we’re capable of. But we have a young team, so it’s a matter of maintaining consistency as we move on.”

Everett honors Black History Month

M

ayor Carlo DeMaria is proud to announce that the City of Everett, Zion Church Ministries and the Everett Public Schools are hosting a series of events to celebrate Black History Month and to recognize the central role of Blacks in American History.

To kick off the celebration, Everett City Hall will open an Art Gallery inspired by the poem “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” by Langston Hughes.

Throughout the month of February, the art gallery will showcase local and regional artists to commemorate and celebrate Black History Month.

The gallery will officially open on February 12 at 6 p.m. in the

City Hall lobby.

“What better way to celebrate black history than through art. The art gallery provides the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the achievements of African-Americans who have led the fight towards equality in our communities,” said DeMaria. “I hope everyone will take time to visit this new addition to city hall and join all the other events that will be happening around our community.”

As part of the monthlong celebration, Zion Church Ministries is hosting a Black History Month church service and dinner on February 23. “Black History Month is a time to gath-

er as a community to reflect, recognize, and honor the invaluable contributions of African-Americans. Without their courage and determination in the pursuit of opportunity, we would not have the chance to break bread together at the same table,” said Senior Pastor Bishop Robert G. Brown.

Additionally, DeMaria will join the Empowering Young Black Excellence (EYBE) club from Everett High School to honor prominent Black Americans on February 26. EYBE is a newly established club by Everett High School students and Guidance Counselor Sashae Walls that strives to provide academic support, participate in

community service projects, facilitate open discussions about ongoing social injustice, develop leadership skills and promote self-esteem, confidence, teamwork and respect, especially for young students of color.

“We want to celebrate Af-

rican-Americans who have shown dedication and success in the Everett Public Schools and are always giving back to the Everett community. Every year we hope to honor a member of the Everett Public Schools during the month of February,” Walls said.

MATTHEW BULLOCK “Coaching pioneer and distinguished public servant”

J

esse and Amanda (Sneed) Bullock were parents on a mission. Born into slavery in North Carolina, both Jesse and Amanda were determined to claim their piece of the American dream and prepare their children to do the same.

Shortly after the birth of their second son, Matthew on September 11, 1881, the Bullocks moved to Boston.

Jesse worked as a day laborer wherever and for as long as his body would hold up.

Through hard work and sacrifice, Mr. And Mrs. Bullock saved enough to buy a home and in 1895, the family moved to Everett and bought a home on Winter Street.

Matthew, now 14 years old, began attending the Everett Public Schools where Matt was recognized for his academic and athletic ability, as well as his affable personality. Matt entered Everett High School in 1896 and made an immediate impression; especially on the football field where he started at left tackle as freshman.

The 1896 and 1897 Everett High School football teams won Everett’s first two state championships with the legendary James “Hub” Hart running behind a stellar offensive line that included the young Matt Bullock.

The 1898 season, however, would see the Everett team fall victim to infighting and discontent. Prior to 1902, the football team was coached by whoever was elected captain.

The 1898 team was coached by team captain Chester Lothrop who resigned and was succeeded by future Everett mayor William Weeks. The situation got so bad that the team disbanded on November 16th thereby forfeiting three games.

When the team gathered in 1899 to choose a new coach/ captain, it was important that they chose someone who could pull the fractured team together and regenerate team spirit and pride. The person they chose was senior left tackle and four-year starter Matthew Bullock; perhaps the first African-American to coach a predominately white high school.

Under Bullock’s leadership and outstanding ability to open holes for his freshman running back and brother

Henry Bullock (who would coach the team in 1901), the 1899 team would bring a third state championship to Everett.

The local media praised Bullock not only for his play on the field but for his game prepa-

ration and for the leadership that he brought to team and touted him as “good timber for a college tackle.”

An outstanding student, Matthew entered Dartmouth College in 1900. The young man arrived at Hanover, NH carrying only one suitcase but with $50 dollars given to him by his hard-working father and equal to $1,428.57 in today’s dollars. While the relationship between Dartmouth and Matthew may have been originally based on his status as a star athlete, he quickly showed his diversity academically as a member of Paleopitas, the senior honors society, athletically in track where he specialized in broad jump and high jump for four years, in football where he was one of the college's top football players for three years and musically singing in the Church and Chapel Choirs and several glee clubs.

According to one article from the Worcester Telegram, “he

An incident in 1903, however, marred Matthew’s senior year at Dartmouth. Bullock and the Dartmouth team were scheduled to play Princeton in New Jersey and to stay at the Princeton Inn on campus. The Inn, however, would not provide accommodations for Bullock because he was black, so the team, unwilling to be separated from their teammate, stayed in New York City and made the fifty-mile trip to Princeton on gameday.

On the first play of the game, a number of Princeton players piled on Bullock breaking his collarbone. Considering that Matt was a tackle and did not carry the call, the Dartmouth players were incensed and accused Princeton of purposely hurting Bullock because of his color. While the Princeton players did not deny purposely hurting Matthew, they claimed that it is their intention in every game to take out the best player as early as pos-

sible. The injury ended Matt’s season and college career; a season in which Walter Camp stated that, until the injury, he was sure to name the tackle as an All-American.

He graduated from Dartmouth in 1904 and headed to Harvard Law School from which he graduated in 1907.

To pay for law school, Bullock coached football; starting at Massachusetts Agricultural College (now UMass-Amherst) in 1904; which made him the first African-American to coach a predominately white college football team.

He had a very successful first year as the team went 5-2-1 but for the next two years athletic department had trouble raising the $251.03 for a coach’s salary and Matt went to coach at Malden High School for the 1905 and 1906 seasons.

In 1907, Massachusetts Agricultural hired Bullock back and he coach there for the next two seasons. He left there with a reputation for impeccable game preparation, an insistence on proper conditioning for his players and a record of 13-8-5.

By 1909, Jesse Bullock’s years of hard work began to catch up with him and on May 17th, he died from symptoms caused by diabetes and complicated by what doctors termed exhaustion. He was only 60 years old.

Shortly after his father died, Matt accepted a position at Atlanta Baptist College (now Morehouse College) coaching football and teaching economics, Latin, history and sociology and eventually, he would Director of Athletics to his resume as well. With all that was going on in his life, Matt still had time for love and in 1910 he married Katherine Wright of Boston. Katherine, the daughter of Peter and Julia (Heatherlee) Wright was a fashionable dressmaker and milliner.

The couple returned to Atlanta and Atlanta Baptist, but 1912, Matt was ready to practice law full-time and did so until 1915. He returned to academia as the Dean of the Alabama State Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes, now Alabama A&M, and also coached football there, as well.

With the outbreak of World War I, Matthew attempted to enlist but was rejected because of what was called athletic heart, a condition commonly found in athletes who routinely exercise more than an hour a day, in which the human heart is enlarged, and the resting heart rate is lower than normal.

Unable to serve in uniform, Matthew went to Camp Meade as an educational secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association organization which served the military forces. He was sent to France with the 3 69th Infantry, becoming a part of the American Expeditionary Forces. He served fifteen months in France and at the end of the war he chosen to represent the “Y” at the Burial of the Unknown Soldier. However, while in France, he was recommended for the Croix de Guerre for his leadership and bravery during his frontline service but the colonel of the regiment refused to approve it for reasons of bias.

After the war, and with two children at home Matthew Jr., born in 1920 and Julia Amanda, born in 1921, he returned to Boston where he practiced law, served as executive secretary of the Boston Urban League and in 1925 received his first public appointment when Republican Attorney General Jay R. Benton appointed him as a Special Assistant Attorney General. Bullock served in that capacity until 1927 when Republican Governor Alvan Fuller appointed him to the State Board of Parole and the Advisory Board of Pardons.

While Matt’s legal training and commitment to the safety and welfare of the public served him well on the Parole Board, on one occasion so did his time on the gridiron. After denying him parole, a convict charge angrily at Bullock but Matthew quickly wrestled him to the ground rendering him helpless until guards could take him into custody.

He was not reappointed to the Parole Board by Democratic Governor James Michael Curley, serving instead as an assistant to the commissioner of corrections, for six years when Republican Gov-

Walter Carrington “U.S. Ambassador”

By Michael Matarazzo

ary. They won more state and national championships than any other. They were memorialized in Look Magazine. The basketball team was a state power house. Jocks were the most popular group in school. Yet I, who excelled, not on the field but on the stage as a debater and orator, was each year elected Vice President of a class of five hundred of whom but five were black.”

Walter graduated from Everett High in 1948, and at encouragement of his Everett High guidance counselor took the entrance exam and was admitted to Harvard. “I often read in the national black newspapers tales of horror about white high school guidance counselors steering promising black students away from college careers to vocational ones. I was blessed to have one who insisted that I should settle for nothing but the best. With his encouragement I got into Harvard.”

Carrington was one of only four black students at Harvard University at the time. At Harvard, he founded the first Harvard chapter of the NAACP. and, as its Youth Council delegate, he was also vice chair of the Students for Stevenson organization when Adlai Steven-

son campaigned in 1952 as the Democratic candidate for President. Carrington graduated from Harvard with a Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) degree in 1952.

Like many young men at the time, Walter was drafted into the United States Army in 1955, where he served as a clerk typist in Germany, eventually being assigned to the Judge Advocate General Corps. After his discharge, he enrolled in Harvard Law School, earning his J.D. degree in 1958. He practiced law in Boston and served on the three-member Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, becoming, at the age of 27, the youngest person to be appointed a Commissioner in the Commonwealth’s history. At the MCAD, he was in charge of the case which led to the Boston Red Sox, the last remaining all white Major League Baseball Team, hiring their first black player – “Pumpsie” Green.

It was the establishment of the Peace Corps in 1961 and Carrington’s appointment as one of its first overseas Country Directors that began the historic relationship between Walter Carrington and the continent of Africa. Walter served 10 years in the Corps that included directing programs in Sierra Leone, Tunisia and Sen-

egal and rising to the position of Regional Director for Africa.

After serving with distinction in the Peace Corps, the following decade saw Carrington serve as executive vice president of the Africa-America Institute, and as a member of Africare. He also taught at Marquette University in Wisconsin, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Washington College in Maryland and served as a consultant at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.

In 1980, Carrington served for a year as President Jimmy Carter’s Ambassador to Senegal. In 1981, he was named director of the Department of International Affairs at Howard University. In 1991 Carrington, along with Edwin Dorn, published “Africa in the Minds and Deeds of Black American Leaders.”

In 1993, Carrington, who had served as a senior advisor on Africa to the Clinton Transitional Team, was appointed by the President as Ambassador to Nigeria. The newly appointed Ambassador was to assume his post just as the military was voiding the democratic election recently held in that country. Still, his appointment began on a positive note for it was during the very first diplomatic function that he attended as ambassador that he met Dr. Arese Ukpoma, an intelligent and impressive physician.

She would become Mrs. Carrington in 1995, while continuing to add to her already stellar record of service to humanity.

During his tenure in Nigeria, Carrington consistently challenged the Nigerian government on the questions of democracy, human rights and drug trafficking. The dictatorship of General Sani Abacha was firmly committed to discrediting Ambassador Carrington and blamed him for every shortcoming in U.S.-Nige-

sion to investigate relations between black and white enlisted men in the Pacific theatre. This assignment, a sense of great pride to Matthew, resulted in a report that began the process of racial integration of the United States Navy.

Matthew was unable to relish in his accomplishment however as 1945 was also the year that his beloved Katherine died.

Bullock would continue to work for several more years

but his attention was gradually turning toward his Baha’i Faith that he had accepted in 1940.

Starting in 1953, Matthew spent his winters in Curacao, Netherland West Indies as a member of the Baha’i community. Bullock often made public appearances on behalf of the Baha’i Faith and served as a member of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’i Faith in the United States.

For his efforts in opening

new territories to the Faith during its Ten-Year Crusade from 1953-1963, he was given the title Knight of Bahá’u’lláh and his name was added to the Roll of Honour that stands beneath the entrance door to the Shrine of Bahá’u’lláh; the most holy place for Bahá’ís.

By 1967, he moved to Detroit where his daughter lived and with his health gradually diminishing he entered a nursing home. In 1970 Harvard University conferred upon him

T

here is no way one can capture the spirit of Walter Carrington by the written word.

His resume, while certainly impressive, does not tell the full story. His own words better express this man’s heart, and most of the quotes are from his essay, “Remembrance of an Atypical Black American Boyhood” published by the Harvard Book Store in “Paige Leaves: Essays Inspired by New England.”

Walter Charles Carrington was born July 24, 1930, in New York City, N.Y., to Marjorie Irene Hayes Carrington and Walter Randolph Carrington, an immigrant from Barbados. His mother and father divorced, and Walter and his sister came to live with his father’s family on Cedar Terrace.

At the time Everett was a predominantly Italian-Irish community. In his essay, “Remembrance of an Atypical Black American Boyhood,” he recalled, “My younger sister, Marilyn, and I were the only black kids on the block in a town that was a sociological anomaly. I would learn many years later, while a Commissioner on the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, that an Urban League study had found my Everett to have been the least segregated city of its size in the country. So assimilated did I, as a youngster, become to my heavily Italian neighborhood that I could curse in Italian, with a Sicilian accent, almost before I could in English.”

Walter was very popular throughout his public school years – being elected vice president of his class at both Parlin Junior High and Everett High School. This puzzled Walter; as he quipped in that same essay, “I was a popular kid in a sports obsessed town who was not an athlete. Our high school football teams were legend-

MATTHEW | FROM PAGE 10 ernor Leverett Saltonstall convinced him to serve on the Parole Board again. Bullock continued in that position until his retirement.

Matthew Bullock’s reputation soon expanded beyond academia and Massachusetts state government when, in 1945 as WWII was coming to an end, he was asked by Secretary of the Navy, James Forrestal, to serve on a commis-

rian relations. However, the attitude of the Nigerian government did not deter the Ambassador from standing firm in defense of the values that he held so dear.

The situation was so bad that even a farewell reception held in his honor was interrupted by armed police who threatened to shoot one guest and ordered all foreigners, including the Ambassador, to leave at once. This shocked many in the diplomatic corps, but not Ambassador Carrington, who saw the dictatorship as a self-serving government that was wasting a talented population and vast natural resources for its own gain.

After the fall of the dictatorship, the Nigerian government surprised Carrington by naming the diplomatic area of Lagos after him. Today, Water Carrington Crescent is the location of more than 12 diplomatic missions.

In 2017, Everett celebrated its 125th Anniversary as a city. Upon learning that he was to be the Grand Marshall of the Anniversary Parade, Carrington with his trademark humility told the Everett Independent newspaper, “I was really overwhelmed when I learned I would be Grand Marshal because I still have a soft spot for Everett, because without Everett, I might not have become the person I became had I grown up in another place that wasn’t so accommodating,” he said. “To be remembered and honored like this is more than I can put to words. It’s a great honor to me.”

Accomplished, intelligent, humble, principled, honest and loyal – it is Everett that is honored to call Ambassador Walter C. Carrington a favorite son.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records the votes of local senators from the week of January 27-31. There were no roll calls in the House last week.

NEXT GENERATION CLIMATE PACKAGE (S 2476, S 2477 and S 2478) Senate 36-2, 36-2 and 36-2 on three separate roll calls, approved three bills known as the “Next Generation Climate Package.” Under the bills, the Baker administration would be free to choose among various market-based forms of pricing carbon—including a revenue-neutral fee or a regional “cap and trade” system similar to the Transportation Climate Initiative. —It would have to do so by Jan. 1, 2022, for transportation; Jan. 1, 2025, for commercial, industrial and institutional buildings; and Jan. 1, 2030, for residential buildings.

Any mechanism would be implemented so as to minimize the impact on low-income households, disadvantaged communities, and vulnerable manufacturing sectors.

The package includes setting a statewide greenhouse gas limit for the year 2050 of“net zero”emissions; requiring the MBTA to limit bus purchases and leases to zero-emissions vehicles beginning in 2030, and to aim for an all-zero-emissions fleet by 2040; directing state government to limit purchases and leases of vehicles to zero emissions vehicles only, beginning in 2024; and updating Massachusetts appliance standards to improve energy and water efficiency standards for common household and commercial appliances.

Other provisions establish the Massachusetts Climate Policy Commission as an independent public watchdog to oversee government’s handling of the climate change crisis; jumpstart efforts to supply lowcost solar electricity to low-income communities; and require the Department of Public Utilities to balance six priorities: reliability of supply, affordability, public safety, physical and cyber security, equity, and significantly, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

“We’ve written the strongest climate statute in the nation,” said Sen. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington), Senate Chair of the Utilities and Energy Committee and author of the legislation. “The bills started out strong.

Then they got better as the debate went on. More protection for low- and moderate-income families. Special sensitivity to the climate challenges facing small towns and rural areas. Retraining for people who may need to change jobs as we green the economy. In the fight against climate change, this lifts Massachusetts to the next level.”

“We applaud Senate President Spilka and the Massachusetts Senate for this significant step forward in addressing the climate crisis,”said Jacob Stern, Deputy Director of the Sierra Club Massachusetts Chapter.“By setting a much-needed 2030 emissions target, rolling out zero-emission building standard and creating new

Healthy Youth Act In other news, Health Coordinator Julie Ann Whitson spoke about the district’s sex education curriculum as it relates to the state’s Healthy Youth Act, which is currently being considered by the House of Representatives.

Whitson assured the committee that Everett’s curriculum is delivered in a meticulous manner depending on the age of the students. “In our program, these topics, which are highly sensitive to some, are presented age-appropriately and with less detailed information on the middle school level,” she said.

In addition, Whitson said the central part of the curriculum is presented to all students using HealthSmart. “It is comprehensive based on research and best practice,” she said.

Whitson said the district also uses Get Real for students in grades 6-12 and Botvin LifeSkills Training for students in grades 5-12. She said sex education classes meet once every six to seven days on the middle school level and every other day for high school students. Whitson said letters are sent to middle and high school parents 30 days before the start of the sex education unit. She also said parents can elect to have their child excused from certain parts of the curriculum.

Whitson said the district’s Parental Notification Policy appears to comply with the Healthy Youth Act. However, Interim Superintendent of Schools Janice Gauthier asked the committee members to review the letters and make any revisions they deem necessary.

LIFT OUR KIDS | FROM PAGE 2 “certainly not people in Massachusetts.”

The Lift Our Kids Coalition, which is comprised of 127 organizations, is led by the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute and Greater Boston Legal Services. The Coalition organized in late 2016 to advocate for repeal of the welfare family cap, the law that barred benefits for children conceived while the family received assistance.

The Legislature repealed the family cap in 2019 by an almost unanimous vote. About 11,000 previously excluded children are now receiving benefits, but the benefits are so low that families still struggle to pay for necessities like children’s shoes and socks.

GRANTS | FROM PAGE 15 Cambridge Fire Department has a similar program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kind of lose touch with kids in that junior high area,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Regarding Senior SAFE, Carli said the objective is to educate seniors about fire and safety hazards that could exist in their

own homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A burn or a fall can really mean the end,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Carli also plans to use components of the Remember When program, which was created by the National Fire Protection Association to â&#x20AC;&#x153;teach older adults through trivia, humor and nostalgia how to protect themselves from fires and falls.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since 1995, the SAFE program has brought fire education to hundreds of thousands of students in the Commonwealth,â&#x20AC;? said Governor Charlie Baker.â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program allows firefighters and teachers to work together to provide fire and life safety education to young people.â&#x20AC;?

As a result, the number of children dying in fires has decreased by 76 percent during the past 25 years.

The Senior SAFE program, which began in 2014, offers $600,000 in grant funding statewide. It is funded by tobacco companies, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensure their products meet the fire safety re-

Governor Karyn Polito.
