From many, the point of view was clear: Whether in terms of economic growth, international tourism, or professionalism, Wynn Resorts is the best applicant on the table. “As this proposal first came to the table, we had to take a pause, because we knew that a project of this size would change the face of Everett,” said past President of the Everett Chamber of Commerce Steven Rocco. “People from all over the world could come here to enjoy the area.

The sale was conducted by a licensed auctioneer on Friday, August 1, and was awarded to the highest bidder, Fernanda and Leandro Macedo. The City settled the process for receivership for the negligent Central Ave. property earlier this year. The property had acquired numerous violations of the Mass. State Sanitary Code 105 CMR. After several months of no response to Inspectional Services Department (ISD) enforcement action requests and fines totaling over $3,500, the property was turned over to the law firm of D’Ambrosio & Brown LLP, whose services were secured by the City in order to begin the process of receivership. D’Ambrosio & Brown were able to expedite the lengthy legal process, and a judge from the Woburn Superior Court issued receivership of the property to contractor Daniel Tammaro. D’Ambrosio & Brown LLP has a SOLD: The neglected property at 28 Central Ave. was sold at auction after the city was granted receivership by the courts. proven track record of successfully negotiating and facilitating complex real estate transactions and development projects. They work with developers to navigate ever-changing government regulations and zoning laws. As appointed receiver, Tammaro took full responsibility for the property and made the necessary repairs to fix all state sanitary violations. Once the repairs were completed, Tammaro collected payment for the cost of the repairs with additional fees allowed for management of the project. The City has been paid all fines, back-taxes, or any other money owed in regards to the property and has cleared the property of the violations. The owners of the property and the banks or management companies were given the first opportunity to make repayment to Tammaro. He then took advantage of a rapid foreclosure process through the Court.

After a competitive bidding session, the Macedos, who had been searching Everett for the right home, secured the highest bid and were awarded the sale. They look forward to moving into their new residence soon. D’Ambrosio & Brown representatives praised the City of Everett and the mayor for his commitment to cleaning up properties and neighborhoods and for utilizing the receivership process to do so. “The work done at this property has exceeded expectations,” stated the mayor. “At the outset, this house was an eyesore for this neighborhood. Now through the work of a vigilant ISD department, a dedicated receiver, and a committed firm like D’Ambrosio & Brown, we have been able to remedy the situation and see that the property was sold to someone who will take pride in the home, the neighborhood and our city.” THE EVERETT ADVOCATE - Friday, August 15, 2014 Page 3 MAYOR RECEIVES SHUTE MEMORIAL LIBRARY UPDATE M ayor Carlo DeMaria recently received a report outlining the ongoing progress for the reconstruction of the Shute Memorial Library. The renovation project, part of the of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan, began last December. “The Shute has always been an important part of our community,” states Mayor DeMaria, “not only is it a beautiful historic building, but it also serves that side of our City for library needs. The upgrade and expansion is an important project for the City.” The upgrade of the Shute has been a long time in the making. In 1999, the Library was awarded a planning grant to examine the needs of the community for library services and to evaluate the Shute Library Building. Then in 2005, the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners approved an application for renovation of the building and placed the library on the construction list of projects to be funded by future state capital budgets. Finally, under the DeMaria administration, along with Director of the Everett Libraries Deb Abraham, the City earmarked the Shute for the renovation and expansion it deserves. The renovation includes a total overhaul of the existing structure including foundation and mason work, new windows, utility upgrades, interior space redesign, and exterior landscaping upgrades, as well as making the facility ADA compliant with the inclusion of an elevator. The expansion of the current collection both print and electronic, and the addition of new media and computer technology round out the project.

According to the engineering and construction firms for the project, crews have completed the installation of utility poles, framed the wall along the north side and built the entrance and stairs. They have also made substantial progress inside the building with the installation of drywall, new windows, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work. During construction, the crew discovered an original stained glass window that was boarded up under a piece of plywood above the old front door. They uncovered it with care and it will be restored and placed back above the original entrance. Construction is expected to conclude some time in November, and a re-opening of the library is being targeted for the end of the calendar year. Mayor DeMaria and Deb Abraham, Director of the Everett Libraries would like to remind residents to that they can follow the progress of the renovation on the Shute Memorial Library website and blog. Visit Shutelibrary.org and read all about the renova- -6 tion including updated news and information relative to the ongoing project. A reminder that donations for the renovation of the Shute Library are still being accepted. If you are interested in donating please visit Shutelibrary.org and click on the “Donate Now” link or contact Deborah Abraham at 617-394-2303. The City would also like to remind residents that the sidewalk in front of the Li- brary will remain closed for the duration of construction. Gledhill Ave will also only be open to residents of the street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riday, August 15, 2014 Page 4 CASE | from page 1 “ said Local 26 Vice President Richard Aliferis of Boston. “This casino will be here for over 100 years and will set the community standards for generations to come.” Mayor Carlo DeMaria also made an impassioned plea to CLASSIFIEDS 617-387-2200 Call for special rates! advertise on the web at www.advocatenews.net the commission, in which he described his efforts to help the city rise above the economic stagnation it’s suffered for decades and to give it a vision of an economic future. “We’re asking for your help,” he said. “Great things are happening in the city of Everett. This would bring our city to a whole new level.” The hopes of many Everettites are much closer to home, however. Like many post-industrial communities throughout New England, Everett has struggled to find its economic footing in the last few decades. The city’s manufacturing base is a distant memory; the Low- er Broadway area has until recently been chronically underdeveloped; and a huge swath of land on the Mystic River, the site of a former Monsanto Chemical plant and proposed home of the Wynn resort, has remained contaminated and unusable for years. As the city begins to strive for a brighter economic future; however, many in the city hope that this project could be a tipping point which changes all of that. “Everett is a humble community,” said State Representative Wayne Matewsky. “This is a game-changer. We have dealt with industry that has polluted our community. We … finally have an opportunity to address that polluted prop- erty and have not just a casino, but the water infrastructure, the boating, the fishing, and all the nice things that’ll occur with that. … We need something like this to pick ourselves up.” “As a sophomore at Suffolk University, I see Wynn Resorts as an immense opportunity for young people like myself,” said 19-year-old lifelong Everett resident Anthony DePiro. “I’ve seen a lot of people grow up, go to school, get jobs and leave. Wynn Everett … creates a unique opportunity for people to have a greater impact in their hometown; they can come back. It’s something we haven’t seen since the old days of Market Forge and GE.” Several residents expressed concerns about the traffic impact of the project, particularly at the notoriously congested traffic circle at Sullivan Square in Charlestown, which sees a significant amount of the traffic between Everett and Boston, as well as Cambridge and Somerville. Several requested that the commission press the developer to ensure that infrastructure projects were prioritized. The Gaming Commission will begin its deliberations on whether to award the sole Eastern Massachusetts casino license to the Wynn project or the Suffolk Downs Mohegan Sun development on September 8. They are expected to make their decision by September 12 at the latest. AIRPLANE NOISE Over Everett PPlease call the MASSPORT NOISE COMPLAINT LINE 617-561-3333 State Rep.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE - Friday, August 15, 2014 Page 6 Part VI [Editor’s note: printed below is the sixth part of Revere resident David Leo Dwyer’s tome of an essay, “Next Year.” Following one man’s love of “everything Red Sox” and baseball through the years, this entertaining tale of sports history will bring you back to the glory days and heartbreaking seasons of the Olde Town Team and the excitement of last decade’s World Series Win. The sixth in a nine part limited series, this timeless classic of summer, baseball, and family tradition continues this week.] 2000. Sports Illustrated has been a popular national magazine for decades. This is especially true in the month of March when they put out their Swimsuit Edition. An old friend once called S.I.’s March issue Skin Illustrated. And they have a fine writing staff, men and women who are really knowledgeable on all phases of all sports. Along with the pages of beautiful models in early 2000, the staff of Sports Illustrated made their predic- “Next Year” tion about the coming baseball season. They concluded that in October 2000 the Boston Red Sox would win the World Series. Could it really be that this year, 2000, would be “next year”? In February, Dan Duquette traded with the Houston Astros and brought Carl Everett to town. Everett was a very valuable player for the Texas team in 1999. He was an outfielder; he played center field with great speed and skill. An effective switch hitter, his statistics with the 99’Astros were eye catching. He hit .325, belted 25 home runs, and drove in 108. It looked like Duquette landed a valuable asset to the team. To my mind he was just an ass. My first clue to Everett’s personality was when he came to bat with a toothpick in his mouth. But I cut him some slack. Some players came to bat with a mouthful of tobacco, some with a wad of bubble gum; others came to the plate spitting the shells of sunflower seeds. Maybe the toothpick /267'2* *2(6%<+$5/(< 5(:$5' helped him focus or unnerved the pitcher. I let it go. But at the same time, he oozed attitude. I remember thinking that maybe Everett was one of those players who, as my old man used to say, came to play. Early in the season the Red Sox were in first place. But by late June they were not; the Yankees were. Injuries were a factor but so was that nebulous quality, team chemistry. Not only were G.M. Duquette and Manager Jimy Williams having some fairly publicized differences, but Carl Everett began acting out. He was prone to ranting and delivering foul mouthed tirades directed at everyone, manager and team mates. Then in July he head butted umpire Ron Kulpa, earning a ten game suspension. When he returned he was still arrogant. He never apologized to Jimy Williams, in fact he berated him publicly. Dan Duquette never backed his manager, he simply said Everett was “intense” and that was his playing style. When teammate Darren Lewis suggested to Everett that he was not respecting the manager or the team, a near violent outburst by Everett ensued. The two men had to be forcibly separated by teammates. Towards the end of the season, when the Sox had a chance to overtake Cleveland in the Wild Card race, Everett had another tantrum. He had been nursing a muscle injury and By David Leo Dwyer, Jr. had assumed that Jimy Williams would not have him in the starting lineup. He arrived late for the game, and when he saw Williams had listed him as a starter, he began to rant. He openly cursed and insulted his manager again. As he had before, G.M. Duquette backed Everett and not the manager. One sports writer penned his opinion that Carl Everett was now running the team. I began to wonder if Dan Duquette was afraid of Everett. So the unhappy team didn’t even make the playoffs in 2000. Pedro Martinez had a great year with a record of 18-6 and an ERA of 1.75. Nomar Garciaparra won his second straight batting title with a .372 average. Even the petulant, tooth pick chewing Carl Everett had a good year with 34 home runs and 108 RBI’s. But it takes more than three players having good years to win a championship. When October came around there were two teams from the Big Apple in the World Series. The Yankees bested the Mets 4 games to 1. I missed every game. By now I had thirteen grand children and had yet to see the team I love win a World Series. Before I begin the season of 2001 and, since I mentioned my thirteen grand children, I’d like to relate a brief anecdote. My oldest son, Michael, has two boys, Ryan and Casey. When Ryan was about eight years old, he put on his first baseball uniform when he signed up for the Canton Tball league. No pitched balls, all the kids had to do in their first year of organized baseball, was to hit a plastic ball off a T-shaped device and run the bases. Michael called me and said Ryan was upset and asked if I’d speak to him. I asked what was wrong and my son said he’d let Ryan tell me. The boy got on the phone and blurted out, “Pappy, they put me on the Yankees! I have to wear a shirt that says Yankees on it!” So I quickly became the wise and gentle grandfather he needed, and tried to soothe the child. I told him baseball was baseball and by next year he’d likely be on another team, maybe even the Red Sox. I told him there was a lot of fun and experience to be had no matter what team he was on. I told him about whacking that old whiffle ball over the field, running the bases, sliding into home plate, playing the field. I told him about making new friends, learning the rules of the game and how to follow the instructions of the coaches. How to put the team, what- ever its name, before his own feelings. All the while I spoke, I sensed he was listening and understood the points I was trying to make. So I finished my chat with, “So Ryan, go play your game. Have fun, it’s going to be just fine.” And he choked out this reply, “Pappy, it’s not going to be fine! I’m on the Yankees!” Later when Michael and I talked about this matter, he told me he promised Ryan that when the season was over they could burn the Yankee shirt in the back yard. Before the start of 2001 season, there were big doings in Red Sox nation. Among the list of free agents on the market that year were Manny Ramirez of the Cleveland Indians and Alex Rodriguez of the Seattle Mariners. At one point it seemed as if Rodriguez was headed to Boston. I quite relished the thought. But the Texas Rangers won the bidding war and A-Rod was off to the Lone Star State with a 10 year contract for 252 million dollars. Some felt Rodriguez was the best player in the game. Perhaps he was, and may still be. At the same time, many held the view that the best hitter in baseball was Cleveland’s Many Ramirez. Over the last three seasons with the Indians, Ramirez averaged over one RBI per game. In 415 games with Cleveland he drove in 432 runs, and he was just 28 years old. After turning down an offer for 122.5 million for seven years, Ramirez finally accepted Boston’s deal for 160 million for eight years. Twenty million dollars a year to play a game! I remembered a story The Master told me about Babe Ruth. He said someone commented to Ruth that he was making more money than the President of the United States. The Babe was quick to reply, “Well, I had a better year than the President”. Before the start of the 2001 season, while in Florida for spring training, Carl Everett was in the news again. One day he didn’t arrive in time for the bus to a game in Clearwater. This year was to be Everett’s last in Boston; most felt he was too troublesome. He sustained a knee injury in June and some thought he never worked hard enough to rehab himself. He was still on the disabled list at the All Star break. After the events of September 11, 2001, baseball was suspended for one week. On his first day back Everett showed up late to the ball park and was told to leave. His resentment flared and anoth- NEXT YEAR | SEE PAGE 7 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE - Friday, August 15, 2014 NEXT YEAR | from page 6 er foul mouthed eruption ensued. Dan Duquette hit him with a suspension, but when the suspension ended, Everett never came back, complaining of knee pain. He was fined $140,000 for his behavior and soon after, Everett, his tooth pick and his attitude were shipped out of town. In April, on the second day of the new season, the Sox were in Baltimore. New to the team was Hideo Nomo, a 31 year old free agent who had enjoyed a fine career with the L.A. Dodgers. He pitched the first no hitter the team had seen since Dave Morehead threw one in Cleveland in 1965. That really lifted our hopes for a successful season, but injuries again became a problem. Most troublesome was the injury to Garciaparra’s wrist, which was operated on before the start of the season. Nomar didn’t get back in the game until July 29th. He celebrated his return by hitting a game tying home run, and then a game winning RBI single. Evidence of his value to the team. One player is never enough. By midseason, Boston had eleven men on the disabled list, including Pe- dro Martinez and the starting catcher Jason Varitek. In mid-August G.M. Duquette fired his field manager, Jimy “One M” Williams, and replaced him with pitching coach Joe Kerrigan. It was Kerrigan’s first time managing a baseball team. It had been obvious that Duquette and Williams didn’t always agree, but I was disappointed with the move. A lot of fans, the sports writers as well as a number of players were unhappy with the move and voiced displeasure with Duquette. The team finished just over .500 in 2001 and that, of course, meant no playoff spot that season. And then in December, after 68 years of Tom Yawkey, his family or affiliates of his family, the team changed ownership. The Red Sox were now owned by John Henry and Tom Werner. There had been five other potential buyers, or groups of buyers, of the team. Henry and Werner chose Larry Lucchino to run the front office. This group of experienced baseball men was the only one of the six bidders who were not of a mind to tear down Fenway Park and build a new stadium. This was all that tradition- alists like myself had to hear. I couldn’t bear the thought of my Red Sox not playing in the wee ball park near Kenmore Square. Visions of ugly bowl like stadiums plagued my thoughts. What if they had to move out of Boston the way the Patriots did? The New England Red Sox? John Henry and Tom Werner knew the importance of the Fenway Park tradition and felt it was best to make some improvements on what they had. There were to be changes before the 2002 season began. Dan Duquette’s often controversial tenure ended in February. The following month the team fired Joe Kerrigan and gave the job of field manager to Grady Little. Little had minor league management experience, some quite successful. He had also been Jimy Williams bench coach for the Sox from 1997-99. Also, before Duquette left the team he signed free agent Johnny Damon from Oakland. Damon was a good catch. He excelled as a speedy center fielder, a good lead-off man who could steal a base. The team played very well in the early weeks of the 2002 season. By the end of May their record was 40-7 due, largely to the solid work of the pitching staff. Fenway fans saw the first Red Sox no hit game pitched at home since 1965 when Derek Lowe confounded the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in late April. The batting lineup felt the absence of Manny Ramirez when he broke a finger in early May and was out of action for a month. Johnny Damon lived up to expectations and looked to be a candidate for the MVP Award. Inter league play proved difficult however. The Sox had tough times against the Braves, Dodgers, and Diamond Backs, and their record for June was 10-16. But they rallied for a five game sweep of the Blue Jays at the start of July, and found themselves just one game behind the Yankees. On July 5th, 2002, at the age of eighty three, Ted Williams passed away. He had often said he wanted to be remembered as the greatest hitter who ever lived. In the minds of many, he was just that. If you were at the ballpark or watching at home on T.V., and you knew Ted was coming to bat in the next inning, you’d put off your bathroom or beer break. I remember watching a tele- Page 7 vised game with my father in the late 50’s. Ted hadn’t started in the game for some reason, but was available to pinch hit. The Sox were down by one run in the last of the ninth, and the batter, Jim Pagliaroni, a catcher, had two balls, no strike count on him. I said to my old man, “No sweat Master. This guy’s going to walk Pagliaroni, Ted’s going to pinch hit a home run.” A few minutes later, that’s just what happened. My father got the biggest kick out of that. In 1960 I was as student at Boston University. One day, early in September semester, I was walking through Kenmore Square, not far from Fenway Park. I noticed a lot of peanut shell litter and remembered that the Sox were playing a day game against Baltimore. I was aware that Williams was going to retire at the end of the season and felt I had a chance to see him play one more time. In those days when the game got into the late innings, and the crowds were small, as they often were, they’d allow fans to just walk into the park and take an empty seat without buying a tick- NEXT YEAR | SEE PAGE 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE - Friday, August 15, 2014 Page 8 NEXT YEAR | from page 7 et. When I got there the Orioles were leading by a lopsided score and Williams had been taken out of the game. I was quite disappointed that I didn’t get my last look at Old Number Nine. I was even more disappointed for not waiting one more day to show up at Fenway. That was the day when, in his final plate appearance, he hit a game winning home run. I’ve seen the replay tape many times. He hit the ball into the seats, loped around the bases, touched home plate, and disappeared into the dugout. True to form, he never tipped his hat. Ted Williams, and a part of my childhood, were gone. A few years later, again in Kenmore Square, I saw Williams again, up close this time. He was at the Boston University book store autographing copies of his book, “The Art of Hitting”. I bought two copies, which he signed; I shook his hand and snapped his picture. Ted looked bored. After his death, his son, John Henry Williams, whose motives I’ve never understood, had his father’s remains shipped to Arizona. There Wil- liam’s body was put into deep freeze in a cryonics laboratory. The suspicion is that the younger Williams, who had made a living off his father’s fame, was planning to profit by selling Ted’s DNA. There was outrage around Boston and from time to time we’d see bumper stickers that read, “ThawTed”. John Henry Williams followed his father in death about a year later. Sad to say, he was not profoundly mourned. Boston ended the 2002 season with a record of 9369. They were hot and cold all year, often in contention but failed to make the playoffs. When Dan Duquette left the team, he was replaced by his assistant, Mike Port. It was understood that Port’s tenure would be temporary. When the year ended with no post season play, writers and fans began to clamor for a permanent and capable general manager. Larry Lucchino offered the job to two established G.M.’s. J.P. Ricciardi of the Toronto Blue Jays and Billy Beane of the Oakland Athletics. But both were content with the jobs they had. Beane, at Oakland, was a true innovator. Along with his scouting staff, he made serious use of the input offered by a statistical advisor when drafting young players. Eventually Beane let all the scouts go and relied solely on the statistician. Noting Beane’s success Lucchino hired Bill James as the Red Sox statistical advisor. Then Lucchino promoted the Red Sox Assistant General Manager, Theo Epstein, as the youngest G.M. in baseball history. At age twenty eight, Epstein was younger than all but two players in Boston’s starting lineup. Epstein, for all his youthfulness is a very smart man. He started as an intern with Baltimore’s public relations department, and then moved on to the San Diego Padres where he worked with Larry Lucchino. While he was there he went to San Diego Law School, and then passed the bar on his first try. While with the Padres he was the director of baseball operations. When Lucchino moved to head the front office in Boston in 2001, he asked Epstein to join him as assistant G.M. In 2003, Epstein’s first year as G.M., the bad blood that NEXT YEAR | SEE PAGE 12 Key Facts of Reverse Mortgages • Must be 62 years or older • Proceeds may be taken in either lump sum, periodic disbursements or a combination of both • The borrower must continue to pay taxes, homeowners insurance, maintain the property and keep as their primary residence • Always discuss alternatives with a trusted advisor • Reverse mortgage counseling is done by an independent agency and is mandatory • A new reverse mortgage with reduced cost is now available in most cases Contact Chris Grevelis, Reverse Mortgage Officer to learn more about other benefits and risks of a reverse mortgage.

Everett’s National Night Out is a collaboration with the National Association of Town Watch, a nonprofit crime prevention organization that works in cooperation with thousands of crime-watch groups and law enforcement agencies throughout the country. It is an annual event designed to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships and neighborhood solidarity, and the event sends a message to criminals to let them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. “It was important to come together as a community and showed that we, the residents of Everett, are in control of our streets,” stated DeMaria. “I am honored to work with our Police, Fire, and E911 departments on a daily basis to make Everett’s streets and homes safe and secure, and both Chief Mazzie and I were grateful to the residents who joined with us toward that goal during National Night Out.” This year Everett residents met at gathering points in their Wards and then walked with Everett police officers and city officials through the streets of Everett to the Samuel Gentile Recreation Center. Par ticipants were then treated to hot dogs, courtesy of Target, who is a partner of the National Association of Town Watch. Attendees also enjoyed raffles and a demonstration from the EPD K-9 Unit. In addition, local organizations, including the Everett Joint Committee on Children’s Health Care in Everett and Teens In Everett Against Substance Abuse ( TEASA), set up informational tables about their groups and organizations.

Theo brought second baseman Todd Walker from Cincinnati to Boston in his first move in his new job. Then he began negotiations with José Contreras, who had defected from his native Cuba. In December 2002, the Yankees signed star Japanese outfielder Hideki Matsui for $21 million. This move by New York came about after they had announced that they were cutting their payroll, the league’s highest. Then that same month they signed Contreras for a four year $32 million deal. Prior to that signing, the pitcher’s agent had abruptly cut off negotiations with Boston. It’s safe to say that there were hard feelings around teams in the American League, especially in Boston. Larry Lucchino began to refer to the Yankees as, “The Evil Empire”. The image of George Steinbrenner as “Darth Vad- er” began to emerge and was quite popular in Red Sox Nation. This was especially so when the Yankee owner began to snipe at Lucchino’s character, suggesting that Lucchino had deserted both the Orioles and the Padres. The Montreal Expos could not afford the salaries of their two star pitchers, Bartolo Colón and Javier Vasquez. Theo Epstein tried hard in negotiations with Expos G.M. Omar Minaya, to trade for either or both pitchers. Enter the machinations of the Evil Empire. To keep Colón from the Red Sox, New York sent pitcher Orlando Hernández and $2 million to the Chicago White Sox. Chicago then traded Hernández to Montreal for Colón. The Yankees got a minor league relief pitcher and the satisfaction of keeping Colón from Boston. Yankee G.M. Brian Cashman denied making the trade to frustrate the Red Sox, but few of us believe that. Theo Epstein proved he could play hardball as well. The Florida Marlins had put Kevin Millar, an outfielder who had hit .300, on waivers with the understanding that Millar was going to Japan to play for the Chunicki Dragons. Epstein claimed Millar off the waiver wire, despite the fact that Millar had promised to sign with the Dragons. It was, technically, a legal move. But it broke an unwritten code between major league front offices that no team would interfere when a player wished to play overseas. The Marlins raised minimal fuss but Kevin Millar wound up at Fenway Park. Epstein then signed Chicago Cubs third baseman, Bill Mueller and two relief pitchers, Mike Timlin and Chad Fox. Soon after, he signed the player who would become known as “Big Papi”. David Ortiz was a left handed first baseman who could hit with power. In 2002, with the Minnesota Twins, he had hit 20 home runs and drove in 75 runs. Ortiz had suffered some injuries. He had a knee surgically repaired and had also broken a wrist sliding into home plate. Along with these injuries, Ortiz’s spirits were low after his mother was killed in an automobile accident. The Twins released him. On the day of his release, Pedro Martinez called Epstein and urged him to sign the big first baseman, citing his potential and relative youth. Epstein quickly did the necessary research, and signed Ortiz. Ortiz started slowly. He was not a starter for most of April and May and only hit three home runs. But by June he was the regular designated hitter and became a key performer in a very formidable batting order. On September 9th, Ortiz homered against Baltimore. That was the team’s 214 run of the year, a new team record. The record prior to that had been set in 1977, with a team that featured sluggers like Jim Rice, Fred Lynn, Carl Yastrzem- ski, George Scott, and Dwight Evans. For all their hitting prowess, the Red Sox spent the 2003 season chasing the “Evil Empire”. The Yankees took over first place in the division by the end of May and went on to post a record of 101-61. The Sox record of 95-67 was good enough for the wild card spot and an entry to post season play. As is so often the case in baseball, the best teams have the best pitchers. No doubt our own Pedro Martinez was excellent. Derek Lowe was very reliable and when Tim Wakefield’s knuckleball was working, he could be very hard to hit. But they couldn’t compare with the Yankee staff. Starters Mussina, Pettitte, Clemens, and Wells were as good a group of hurlers as I’ve seen in over fifty years of following the game. A big weakness in the Boston pitching staff was the bullpen, the relief pitchers.

New York’s go to guy was Mariano Rivera, a legend, who will no doubt be in the Hall of Fame the first time his name is offered. Early in the season Boston experimented with a concept that was called, “Bullpen by Committee”, which really never worked out. I’d have traded the lot of them for Mariano Rivera. Oddly enough, for all of Rivera’s skills, the Red Sox had enjoyed a fair amount of success against him over the years. In the A.L. West, the Oakland A’s had won that divisional title with a record of 96-66, one game better than Boston’s numbers. The five game series started out west in Oakland. The A’s won both games and the Sox came back to Boston two games down, but not out. They won the first of the home games by a score of 3-1. The game was played before a standing room only crowd of 35,460 fans who got their money’s worth as the game went eleven innings. In the home half of the eleventh, with Doug Mirabelli on first, Manager Grady Little called on Trot Nixon to pinch hit. Halfway through the game, Nixon, inspired by Kevin Millar, had gone into the clubhouse and shaved his head. Millar had taken a razor to his head when the team came back from Oakland two games down. Nixon hit a home run into the center field bleachers and the home town Red Sox were back in the series. Game four was also close. The A’s led by two runs until, in the home sixth, Todd Walker hit a solo homer to close the gap to a 4-3 Oakland lead. In the last of the eighth, Oakland sent their best relief pitcher to the mound, Keith Foulke. Foulke had led the league in saves in 2003 with 43. With one out, Nomar doubled to left. Walker flew out, Nomar remained on second. Prior to their game, neither Manny Ramirez nor David Ortiz had hit well in the series, Big Papi was 0 for 16. Then Ramirez singled through the infield, Nomar taking third. With a count of no balls and two strikes on him, Big Papi hit a liner to deep right field. The ball bounced to the wall as Oakland outfielder Jermaine Dye seemed to have been dazzled by the setting sun. Two runs scored and the Red Sox had a 5-4 lead going into the final inning. Scott Williamson pitched a perfect ninth frame and the series was tied at two games each. The fifth, and decisive game was played in Oakland, and it too was decided by a single run. Both teams started their ace pitchers, Pedro Martinez for Boston and Bar- -6 ry Zito for Oakland. The Red Sox managed only two hits through the first five innings and trailed at that time by a 1-0 score. Boston tied the score in the sixth on a home run by Jason Varitek. They took a 4-1 lead in that same inning when Manny Ramirez, whose bat had been relatively quiet, hit a long three run homer. Up to that point Ramirez hadn’t driven in a single run. In the Oakland half of the sixth, the A’s got a single run on a pair of doubles. In their next at bat, Oakland’s Jermaine Dye hit a pop fly to shallow center. Damian Jackson and Johnny Damon both chased the ball and collided heads. The ball dropped in for a hit as Damon fell to the ground senseless and bleeding from his right eye. Dye tried to advance on the play, but the ball was picked up by Garciaparra, and threw Dye out at second. Damon was taken to a hospital and treated for a concussion. By the eighth inning Martinez was tiring and gave up a run making it a one run, 4-3 game. In the A’s last at bat, they threatened to win it. Two bases on balls put two on with no one out. Manager Little called Derek Lowe in from the bullpen. The next batter laid down a sacrifice bunt which put men in scoring position with just one out. A base hit from either of the two next scheduled batters could give Oakland the series. The next batter, pinch hitter Adam Melhuse, took a third call strike. Lowe intentionally walked the next batter to set up a force play at any base situation and Lowe then faced Terrence Long. With the count on Long at one ball, two strikes, Lowe threw a sinker over the inside corner of the plate. Long was badly fooled on the pitch and was jumping back from it as the umpire called strike three. Game and series over, Boston wins, bring on the Yankees. /(*$/127,&( &,7<2)(9(5(77 385&+$6,1*'(3$570(17 /$1'6&$3(0$6215<&2 'HVLJQLQJDQG&RQVWUXFWLQJ,GHDVWKDWDUH´*URXQGVIRU6XFFHVVµ 0DVRQU\$VSKDOW %ULFNRU%ORFN6WHSV %ULFNRU%ORFN:DOOV &RQFUHWHRU%ULFN3DYHU 3DWLRV:DONZD\V %ULFN5H3RLQWLQJ $VSKDOW3DYLQJ /DQGVFDSLQJ 5HOLDEOH0RZLQJ6HUYLFH 6SULQJ)DOO&OHDQXSV 0XOFK(GJLQJ 6RGRU6HHG/DZQV 6KUXE3ODQWLQJ7ULPPLQJ ,UULJDWLRQ6\VWHPV ZZZ-DQG6/DQGVFDSLQJ0DVRQU\FRP 6HQLRU'LVFRXQW)UHH(VWLPDWHV/LFHQVHG,QVXUHG -RH3LHURWWL-U-RH3LHURWWL6U 6HDOHG%LGVZLOOEHUHFHLYHGDWWKH2I¿FHRIWKH3XUFKDV LQJ$JHQW 5RRP &LW\ +DOO %URDGZD\ (YHUHWW 0DVVDFKXVHWWVQRODWHUWKDQDP0RQGD\ $XJXVWIRUWKHIROORZLQJDQGRSHQHGDWWKHWLPHV VSHFL¿HG ³5(7$,16(59,&(62)$12:1(5¶6 352-(&70$1$*(5230725(35( 6(177+(&,7<2)(9(5(77¶6,17(5(67,1 0$1$*,1*7+('(6,*1'(9(/230(17 $1'&216758&7,212)7+(+$1&2&. 675((7),5(67$7,21´ )XOOVSHFL¿FDWLRQVDQGLQIRUPDWLRQDYDLODEOHLQWKH2I¿FH RIWKH3XUFKDVLQJ$JHQW5RRP&LW\+DOO0RQGD\WKUX 7KXUVGD\IURPDPWRSPRUE\HPDLOLQJWKH 3XUFKDVLQJ'HSDUWPHQWDWELGV#FLHYHUHWWPDXV /DUD%:HKEH(VT &KLHI3URFXUHPHQW2I¿FHU $XJXVW Overnight Detailing Too busy during the day?

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE - Friday, August 15, 2014 Page 16 Joseph D. Cataldo “YOUR FINANCIAL FOCUS” CARETAKER CHILD EXCEPTION M assHealth regulations provide for an exception to the transfer penalties if the nursing home applicant transfers the principal residence to a caretaker child. If your child has been caring for you in your own home (while also living in your home for at least two years prior to you entering a nursing home) then the home can be transferred to your “caretaker child” without such transfer being deemed a “disqualifying” transfer. You should arrange to obtain a letter from the MassHealth applicant’s primary care physician that simply states that had it not been for the care provided to the MassHealth applicant by the caretaker child over the past two or more years, the applicant would have been required to be placed in a nursing home at least two years earlier. The level of care should be substantial. It is always best to document the exact nature of the caregiving services actually performed on a daily basis. If the doctor’s letter can address the activities of daily living that the caretaker child assisted the parent with, all the better. If, for example, the caretaker child was working at his or her job for a period of 60 hours per week, and the house was transferred to that child under the caretaker child exception, based upon the recent Maguire case, MassHealth may very well not accept just a doctor’s letter. MassHealth may want to see much more evidence as to the amount of time the child put in each and every day in assisting the parent with the activities of daily living such as cooking, cleaning, prescription adminis- tration, toileting, bathing, getting on and off the bed, etc. It may be real difficult to prove that the required level of care was met if the child had been working on average, 60 hours per week!! The 2010 case was Maguire v. Dehner (Mass. Sup. Essex, Civ. No 2008-02259, Sept. 28, 2010. The caretaker child exception was shot down by MassHealth at the Board of Hearings level. The nursing home applicant appealed to Superior Court and MassHealth prevailed. The MassHealth hearing officer concluded that the applicant’s daughter’s level of assistance to the nursing home applicant did not meet the regulatory criteria for assistance with activities of daily living. The caseworker went on to say that the level of care did not meet the “institutional or nursing home level of care”. Traditionally, MassHealth has accepted a physician’s letter stating that had it not been for the care provided by the child, the parent would have been placed in a nursing home at least two years earlier. The facts of each case are of course different. However, it is important to note that the care must truly be substantial and continuous. The more evidence you provide the better. A daily log of care provided during that two year period may not be such a bad idea. The transfer of the house to a caretaker child could mean a substantial savings of assets for the family. Massachusetts law provides for this very important exception and it is an opportunity that must not be missed if at all possible. Just keep in mind that depending on the MassHealth caseworker assigned to the application and/or the MassHealth legal department “higher-ups” that are analyzing such transfers as part of the overall application review, you might have an easier time or more difficult time with having the transfer of the home pass muster.
