Jmitchell@advocatenews.net Representative Stephen “Stat” Smith, who is also a member of Everett’s School Committee, was granted a liquor license for his new bar, “Backpacker’s Pub”, located on the first floor of Smith’s youth hostel at 13 School Street at Monday’s meeting of Everett’s Board of License Commission. Voting to grant the liquor license to Smith was the Commission’s Chairman, Phil Antonelli, and member Brian McCarthy. The third member of the Commission was not present, and did not vote. McCarthy made the motion to approve the liquor license. The public was invited to attend the hearing, and an overflow crowd of concerned parents, neighbors, and School Department personnel were on hand to oppose the awarding of Smith’s liquor license. Many in the crowd who were there to speak against the granting of this liquor license had just learned about Smith’s plans on WBZ-TV (Channel 4) news that afternoon. Superintendent of Everett Public Schools, Frederick F. Foresteire, began his remarks by reminding the Commission that an Everett High School student was killed by a drunk driver only two hundred yards from Smith’s pub. Mr. Foresteire expressed his primary concern about the safety of the young students who attend the Whittier and the Adams schools, which are in close proximity to Smith’s hostel and first-floor bar. Foresteire also expressed his concern about the requested hours of Smith’s drinking establishment (11:00am—1:00am, Monday through Friday), because Smith had requested operating hours that meant that his pub would be open for most of the school day. Superintendent Foresteire also expressed a concern shared by many at the hearing that Smith’s pub would attract student and underage drinkers; first because it is located on the first floor of the youth hostel whose customers will typically include American and international students, many of whom will be younger than the legal drinking age of 21, and second, because the pub’s name, “Backpacker’s Pub”, is aimed specifically to appeal to young people, including students under 21. Dr. Thomas Stella, Assistant Superintendent; Michael McLucas, Principal of the Sumner G. Whittier Elementary School; and Mrs. Denise Hanlon, Head Teacher of the Pre School Program at the Adams School, also attended the meeting to oppose the granting of the requested liquor license. Also, a large number of local residents and parents expressed their opposition to Smith’s request; citing the negative impact it would have on their neighborhood and most importantly, the threat to the safety of the young children and parents walking to and from school as they pass this “Backpacker’s Pub.” Those who spoke in opposition to the Liquor License said they welcome the hostel, but were not in favor of serving liquor at the facility. Voicing in favor of the license was Rep. Smith’s wife, Judith Locke-Smith, who read aloud a prepared statement and two men who identified themselves for the record. WBZ-TV (Channel 4) news team interviewed both Smith and the Superintendent of Everett Public Schools separately about the issue beforehand. The segment ran on both the 5:30pm and 9:00pm news program, and the 11:00pm news briefly announced the granting of the liquor license. This was the second time Smith had applied for this liquor license. Last month, the Liquor Licensing Commission had to declare the first hearing regarding Smith’s request illegal, because the published legal notice of the hearing did not include information where the meeting would be held, in spite of inviting the public to speak for and against the granting of the liquor license. The Commission had to republish the legal notice stating when and where the meeting would be held and the address, so that the public would be properly notified of Monday evening’s hearing.
SMITH GETS LIQUOR LICENSE FOR HIS SCHOOL ST. HOSTEL
City issues license despite resident's/school official's protests
By James D. Mitchell
Attorney Terry Kennedy of Lynnfield formally announced his candidacy today for the Democratic Party nomination to become the next Governor’s Councilor from the Sixth District of Massachusetts. The Sixth District includes the city of Everett and twenty other cities and towns. Among those endorsing the candidacy of Attorney Kennedy from throughout the district are Middlesex County Sheriff James DiPaola; and Michael Callahan, the sitting Governor’s Councilor from Medford, who has chosen not to seek reelection this year. “To have them me with their support during my first campaign for elected office is humbling,” Attorney Kennedy said. “My goal is to be worthy of their trust, as well as the trust of the citizens of the Commonwealth.” Attorney Kennedy, who grew up and operates a law practice in Everett, Massachusetts, is a graduate of Pope John XXIII High School; the University of Massachusetts, Boston; and Boston College Law School. In making his formal announcement, Attorney Kennedy stated, “Few people are aware that the Governor must seek the advice and consent of the Governor’s Council with respect to a wide range of governmental responsibilities, from granting pardons and commutations to approving payments from our State treasury. “Those who are familiar with the Governor’s Council,” he continued, “know it best for its most important function: the role it plays in approving specific judicial nominees and other key senior court personnel put forth by the Governor for consideration. It is this responsibility which has inspired me to seek this office. “My two and a half decades of work in the Massachusetts Court system – first as a law clerk; then as an Assistant District Attorney; and finally as a private practice attorney involved in both civil and criminal law - has taught me that justice for the accused and justice for the victim depend on Judges who both understand the law, and recognize that fairness and impartiality are crucial to maintaining the public’s support and confidence in our justice system.” “The fact is”, Kennedy concluded, “judges matter, judicial temperament matters, judicial fairness and objectivity matter, and judicial discretion matters. If you honor me with your vote, I would feel privileged to represent you as a Councilor committed to approving only the most impartial and best prepared nominees put forth by the Governor.” Terry has been married to his wife, Cheryl, for the past 25 years. They have three children together- Alycia, Julie, and Peter- and currently reside in Lynnfield.
EVERETT ATTORNEY TERRY KENNEDY FOR SIXTH DISTRICT GOVERNORS COUNCIL SEAT
John F. Hanlon Seeks Office of State Representative
I am announcing today, that I am seeking the office of State Representative, representing the 28th Middlesex District, which comprises all of Everett and ward 7 precinct 2 of Malden. I do this because I strongly feel that the communities of Everett and Malden deserve dedicated, hands on, proactive, responsive, and tenacious representation.
The 28th Middlesex seat has been historically significant. The phenomenal essence of individuals such as Billy Hogan, George Keverian, and Edward Connolly, set Everett apart from the rest; these men put the district on the map. Each of these fine and distinguished men were proactive champions and as constituents, we all reaped the benefits of their advocacy.
Unfortunately, we have lost that positive, vital energy and I feel that it is essential that we reinvigorate these ideals and move forward once again for the sake of ourselves and our families.
I promise that my work ethic and commitment as State Representative will embody the positive, can do, lead of men, and keep the needs of the 28th Middlesex District on the forefront of the formal public agenda; including, a proactive, diligent approach to find new economic opportunities for the hard working people of Everett and Malden.
For forty-two years, I have had the privilege of serving the people of Everett. I have done so in the capacities of Mayor, City Clerk and Alderman and approached each task with integrity, honesty and diligence, keeping in mind, always that the needs of the people I served came first.
We have come to a crossroad. It is time for an infusion of energy, innovative thinking and a keen sense of our districts needs. We need an accountable, selfless, State Representative who believes in the people he serves. Whose commitment to his constituents takes first and only precedent and will do whatever it takes to benefit his constituents. I pledge to be that man.
In the next few weeks, I will be knocking on your doors. I look forward as I have in the past to speak to each of you, hear your voices and share your thoughts.
I would love your help! Please feel free to contact me personally at 617-594-9852. Farmers Market Returns to Everett Sq. through October 9

CityFest Set for September 18th in Everett Square Mayor Carlo DeMaria Jr. and the Everett Chamber of Commerce proudly announce September 18 as the upcoming date for the Everett CityFest (formerly the Cultural Festival.) Both the Mayor and the Chamber of Commerce are excited to put together an event that brings the entire Everett community together. Matt Laidlaw, Director of Communications and one of the event organizers says that the name change is a welcome addition, “we talked about what is special about the event, Everett has always been a great collection of diversity, changing the name to CityFest centralizes what we really want to do, celebrate Everett.” The city will ask all local businesses, organizations, and churches to participate by either setting up a booth, volunteering or sponsoring an attraction. Although the entertainment for this year’s event is not finalized, the lineup looks impressive including Banda Belo, and the regrouping of the Laquidera Brothers to headline the day. The partnership between the Chamber and the city is proving to be a worthwhile experience, bringing in the business community to help organize and participate in the event. “We’re not going to be able to shut down Everett Square yet,” states Matt Laidlaw, “however, our goal is to get as many people out in the square to enjoy our local food, meet our organizations, listen to some great music, and ultimately have a great day in Everett.” Monday, July 19 Rildo Pereira Andrade, 35, of 32 Parker Street was charged with illegal possession of a Class B substance; twelve counts of unlawful possession of a firearm; and two counts of receiving stolen property $250. or more.
