Everett Kiwanis Donates to Evelyn’s Little Public Libraries Network

Presenting the Kiwanis donation was President Fred Capone, accompanied by members of the Board of Directors and many Club members.

The Everett Kiwanis recently donated $1,000 to Evelyn Gayhart to establish a new little public library in the City of Everett. Evelyn established her first public library over four years ago. Since then, she has created three more.

With the Kiwanis donation, Evelyn will create a fifth little public library in Everett. The intent is to locate it in Glendale Park near the high school. Good luck Evelyn and keep up the great work!

Fred Capone’s return

The very public exchange between the mayor and former councilor and Attorney Fred Capone at the last meeting of the school committee showed that Capone has not yet given up on expressing himself in public, and taking on the mayor.

Capone, of course, lost for mayor last time out, to the mayor, who reminded him of that at the meeting.

However, Capone’s overtly aggressive posture at the meeting towards the mayor, and the mayor’s angry response to Capone, indicates that we may not have seen the end of the battle between these two for the corner office.

Capone has remained conspicuously quiet about his future intentions.

Whether or not he runs for mayor again is a big question among many voters throughout the city.

Capone to head Kiwanis after installation of officers at sit down dinner

By Josh Resnek

Local attorney and former city councilor Fred Capone was recently elected to head the Everett Kiwanis Club.

Last week, at a sit down dinner at Anthony’s in Malden, Capone was installed as the President of the local club which plays an important role in the life and times of the city.

Charlie Radosta served as the Master of Ceremonies. He had the crowd laughing, as he is able to do, for much of the night.

Radosta was also presented with a plaque to commemorate 60 years of membership with the Kiwanis Club.

Capone maintaining deep silence about his political future; will he pull papers?

By Josh Resnek

Former councilor, former mayoral candidate, Attorney Fred Capone has been maintaining the kind of radio silence that submarine commanders insist upon when they are out to sea in enemy waters.

Not much has recently been heard from Capone.

We know this, Capone is watching with interest as papers are pulled as the election season takes shape and form.

This is a given for Capone, who, if nothing else, is per- haps the most informed present non-candidate in the city standing on the sideline.

To confuse his quiet with a lack of interest is probably an incorrect assumption.

Capone did well as a mayoral candidate.

But in the end, there was no cigar, no triumph, just a tough campaign that came close but not close enough.

He lost.

Losing is hard. Coming back is hard.

Doing nothing is hard when you have been as involved as Capone has been for the past decade.

Will Fred Capone run?

Former Councilor Attorney Fred Capone has been very quiet in recent weeks.

Many residents and his supporters are wondering – will Ca- pone be running for a council seat?

And if he does get back on the council, or even if he fails to run, will he run again for mayor in two years?

These questions swirl around Capone during this period of quiet away from the council and the Everett political scene.

The widely assumption is if that Capone pulls papers and runs for a council seat, that that may just be the precursor to another try for the corner office – assuming his wins the council seat.

Or maybe not.

Some observers claim Capone’s last run against the mayor proved the mayor’s invincibility.

Many of the mayor’s closest supporters believe he cannot be beaten.

Would Capone try another run for mayor?
