This Tuesday, September 1, is primary election day in Massachusetts for both national and state legislative of- fices. Primary elections in Massachusetts typically are of little or no consequence because of the overwhelming Demo- cratic voting enrollment and because most Democrats run unopposed. However, this year’s primary election is different be- cause of the hotly-contested U.S. Senate race between in- cumbent Ed Markey and Congressman Joseph Kennedy that will draw a larger-than-usual turnout for a primary. In addition, there are two truly unique and important aspects to Tuesday’s election. This will be the first election in which we will be vot- ing either early, by mail, or in person amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Tuesday’s primary will be a good test of the ability of Massachusetts’ election officials to conduct an election under these difficult circumstances and thus will serve as excellent preparation, both for voters and officials alike, for the upcoming November Presidential election. It is important that all of us participate in the democratic process on or before Tuesday so that both we and our elec- tion officials can be as knowledgeable as possible about the procedures that we will need to follow in November to ensure a successful final election. In addition, thanks to the chaos that reigns throughout the country (for many reasons), it is not an understatement to say that the elections to be held this year -- both the primaries and the final -- have taken on more significance than any in our nation’s history. The Presidential elections of 1860 (prior to the start of Guest Op-Ed the Civil War) and 1932 (when we were in the midst of the Great Depression) arguably were the most consequential elections since our founding, but the 2020 election cycle will be even more significant than both of those.

Hopefully, if everything works out, the dream that I keep working on, I want to go back and give back to my homeland.” Ismael has a younger brother, Christian Zam- or, who is beginning his freshman year at EHS and will be a candidate for the varsity football team. Like his older brother, Christian excelled in the Everett Pop Warner program, benefit- ing from the excellent in- struction he received from coaches such as CarolLyn Manuel, Victor Ruiz and Frank Cafarelli. “Our ‘A’ team came one game short of making it to Florida,” said Ismael. Another brother, Jerol Zamor, is nine years old and plays quarterback for Ever- ett Pop Warner. “I’m trying to get him to come to my workouts but sometimes he wants to stay home and play video games, but I’m not going to let that happen. He needs to be active,” of- fered Ismael.

A meeting with Chief Mazzei Ismael said he was work- ing at the Everett Recre- ation summer camp when he met Everett Police Chief Steve Mazzie for the first time and they began chat- ting about the high school football season. “I hadn’t realized that is was his son [Central Catholic placekicker Nick Mazzie] who kicked that field goal against us,” said Ismael. That dramatic 41-yard field goal by Mazzie ended Everett’s quest for a Super Bowl title in Ismael’s fresh- man year. “I know he [Nick Mazzie] has had other long field goals as well.” Last year, Everett was again derailed by Central Catholic in the state play- offs. But come this spring, keep an eye on No. 3 in your program, the state’s premier junior, Ismael Zamor. “I just have to keep working hard, keep doing what’s right,” he said.

By Seth Daniel

Family members of Rich Eliseo Sr. had planned ear- lier this year to have a big party for their father’s 75th birthday this August, but COVID-19 put a damper on all of those plans, yet it didn’t stop a surprise birth- day party for Eliseo with a select group of friends on Aug. 18.
