Attorneys Michele and Fred Capone recently donated new children’s books to Everett organizations to help families during the ongoing pandemic. “The local organizations in Everett are doing a great job of meeting a wide array of needs. We’re so proud of our City and commend everyone who has given of their time and resources.” said the couple. The Capones, who value volunteer work, are always looking for new ways to contribute and help. “One of the challenges of this pandemic is trying to keep children entertained.” The idea to distribute board books was inspired by their children, Zachary and Gabrielle, who, while high school students, donated books to Reach Out and Read through their pedia- trician’s office. Reach Out and Read encourages children to read daily by making books accessible. In addition to board books, the Capones donated coloring books, crayons, and sticker activity books. Michele and Fred are also distributing Word Search, Crossword, and Sudoku books to local seniors. “Community service is about working together and helping one another. These donations are just another way to give back to the community we love.”

Telemedicine allows health care professionals to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients at a distance using telecommunications technology, such as a smart phone or computer. Telemedicine allows us to continue to provide high-quality care to our patients during the COVID-19 pandemic while minimizing exposures.

Telemedicine appointments are being scheduled in Pediatrics, Adult Medicine, Family Medicine, Women’s Health (OB/GYN), Behavioral Health, Neighborhood PACE, and other departments. We use certified medical interpreters during telemedicine appointments for languages other than English.

Do you need to schedule a telemedicine appointment with your primary care provider? Did you miss an appointment that needs to be rescheduled? If so, call 617-569-5800 to schedule a telemedicine appointment. This is especially important if you have a chronic or a behavioral health condition. You should be treated if needed, especially during this public health crisis. We’re here to keep you healthy!

NOT SO FAST

Racism, from subtle to overt, has existed at every level of American society since our nation’s inception. It was embedded in our Constitution by our Founding Fathers, many of whom were slave owners, who declared that slaves should be counted as only three-fifths of a person. Even though slavery was abolished by Abraham Lin- coln with the Emancipation Proclamation, segregation and discrimination became the norm in the American way of life after the Civil War and judicially affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 1896 decision, Plessy v. Ferguson. Although the Supreme Court overturned the “separate but equal” doctrine in the 1954 decision of Brown v. Board of Education, it has become clear that despite the apparent strides toward racial equality that have been made in the past 66 years, so little actually has changed. Tragically, it has taken the brutal death-by-suffocation of a 46 year-old African-American man, George Floyd, at the knee of a white police officer in Minneapolis to bring to the eyes of every American the gross discrepancy be- tween the uniquely American ideal that, “All men are cre- ated equal” and the stark reality of life today for persons of color who comprise most of our country’s permanent underclass. To be sure, the shockingly inhumane treatment by police officers of minority suspects (and even non-suspects) in the past few years has highlighted the racism that contin- ues to exist in many police departments across the country. There also have been instances of police brutality and over-reaction during these past two weeks against most- ly-peaceful demonstrators.

Dear EHS Graduates, Congratulations! All of your hard work and dedication has paid off. The long hours of studying, homework, projects, and presentations have come to an end. You have worked tirelessly to get to this point. Our hats are off to you for a job well done.

Upon graduating, you have likely made the decision to enter the workforce, attend a college or university, or join the United States Armed Forces, all noteworthy choices.

For those entering the job force, we commend you. You will continue to learn the value of a strong work ethic and the ability to provide for yourself. For those furthering their education, study hard. Don’t ever forget the value of education, and be sure to apply what you have learned from the Everett Public Schools. For those joining our military, be safe, stay vigilant and thank you for making that sacrifice for our nation. For those of you who are undecided, find what pushes you to better yourself, your family, and the world around you.

Your graduation is certainly unique. 2020 is a year that will be talked about for centuries to come. COVID-19 has changed the way we interact and think with one another as well as the world around us. . You didn’t ask for this; no one anticipated this change and its upheaval, yet one thing remains certain: you have supported one another, shown kindness and helped our community understand the importance of social distancing and having empathy during these difficult times. The Class of 2020 has risen to the occasion, adapting to the uncertainties that the past months have brought. But that is what we do.. We roll with the tide that is upon us.

Everett Crimson Tide, as your next adventure approaches, we challenge you. We challenge you to go against the tide! To make waves where you deem fit, to jump hurdles when you confront them, and persevere where you are doubted.

Congratulations on a job well done, and may God bless the class of 2020. Mayor Carlo DeMaria
