Everett info for those who live Could a “Revolution Row” emerge from Everett’s industrial waterfront — a dining and entertainment destination akin to Assembly Row just across the Mystic River in Somerville In an unusual appearance at a community meeting in Everett last week Kraft Group executives Robert Kraft and Jonathan Kraft made the case for why the city should embrace their plans for a professional soccer stadium on the banks of the Mystic where the pro soccer team they own The father and son pledged additional development and uses well beyond the 20 or so Revs games the stadium would host each year Robert Kraft referred to the smokestacks at the site and contrasted it with their vision for a 24,000-seat stadium and waterfront park “We’ve had people from outside of Massachusetts trying to get us to move the team,” Robert Kraft said and do something really cool and creative.” the Krafts have additionally invested well over twice that amount in the stadium and surrounding properties pointing to the adjacent Patriot Place retail development and upgrades to the stadium “If we’re fortunate enough to be able to build this stadium I’m confident that working together with the community of Everett and the political leaders that this will only be the beginning,” Jonathan Kraft said “There will be more investment that follows.” They left the building without taking comments leaving Revs president Brian Bilello and vice president Cathal Conlon to talk about the project’s details Bilello said the stadium could host concerts for up to 30,000 people high-profile soccer games outside of Major League Soccer “There’s really no end [to] how we could use the facility,” he said the Revs are busy negotiating community impact agreements with Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s administration and with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s administration State and city permitting reviews will follow such as the Orange Line or to a future commuter rail stop currently under discussion for a spot near the casino DeMaria brushed away calls from a few critics in the audience to hold a citywide referendum over whether the stadium should be built saying the Krafts’ proposal is the best use the city could hope for to clean up and reuse the site City Councilor Michael Marchese said that what Everett really needs is more tax revenue much like the millions that used to flow each year into the city’s coffers from the power plant during its heyday (The annual amount the Krafts would contribute to the city hasn’t been determined yet.) they supported the city pretty damn well over the last 100 years,” Marchese said “I just want to see what the trickle-down part is for us It looks fantastic [but] we need to make money also Stephanie Ebbert of the Globe

artists and doing artist development in 2012 as we started the Everett Music Initiative Managing artists gave me a really important perspective as we were producing events in Everett and building a music festival We started by throwing shows at a bar in Everett monthly What artists have influenced you?Our inspiration comes from the community Everett is a city with a great history of live music coming through What excited us was building a community amongst local artists and pairing them up with bigger names from Seattle and other touring acts we could route through strong marketing and a brand people could trust for new music discovery it felt like a recipe that filled a gap for where Everett was in 2012 Getting the insight of working with local artists and seeing the work and dreams behind their projects really helped inspire the team to build a festival that shines a spotlight on local artists as well as regional and national touring artists What genres of music does the festival cover?Each year our lineup includes an array of genres that makes sure there's something for everyone Fisherman's Village does tend to have a strong presence of Americana artists soul and R&B as well as rock and roll projects but always round it out to make sure there's a diverse mix of flavors in the performances How has your festival evolved over time?Our festival learns a lot from attendees and the community each year and there are often changes made every year With our move to the three stages inside APEX Everett this year there have been performances on as many as 20 stages and locations since 2014 Sasquatch and plenty others helped pave the way for a demand for the multi-day music festival experience in the Pacific Northwest We felt like Everett deserved to have its own weekend that brought names the community and gave a chance for local artists to play that desire to see a lot of artists in one day seems to have evolved and we've found that consolidating things a bit while trying to get bigger headliners has helped It seems like the "less is more" approach is where a lot of longstanding events in the industry are heading and that's in line with a lot of the feedback we've got the last few years Do you have a favorite festival moment that sticks out to you?There have been lots of special moments over the years Part of the challenge of running a festival is to find those moments to take it all in where you leave the stress and commotion of it all to appreciate what's happening that moment People were pouring in the doors to catch his set and I was able to sneak in the alley door and watch from the side stage at the Historic Everett Theatre I looked out at all the smiling faces and caught his entire set and it was that moment of appreciating what I do and why I do it What experiences in your life have shaped your career path?I think the biggest experience that shaped my career path was finding Everett Finding Everett helped me understand what community is and what it means It helped me understand that community work is my calling and there's no real ladder to climb or blueprint to learn but it also takes the appreciation for learning as you go If we want to learn more about EMI and Fisherman's Village, where should we find it?everettmusicinitiative.org Anything you're working on right now that you're really excited about?Everett

marriages His players knew that long ago when she’d be on the bench with them and more recently when Jones was her caretaker the parent of a player or a long-time close friend Kenny Turner first met Jones in 1968 when Turner was playing baseball for Sexton and Jones was pitching for Battle Creek Central raised a stink before the game because he didn’t think there was any way Jones was still in high school “He had a bushy Afro and goatee,” Turner said A great basketball player and running back part of Battle Creek Central’s 1966 state championship team whose nickname was “Tuna” coming out of Battle Creek he was the best player and pitcher on Earvin “Magic” Johnson’s slow-pitch softball team in Lansing “Johnny was the driving force,” Turner said “He was one of the most real friends that you can have if you ask him his opinion about something He's going to tell you exactly what he feels And that's what everybody respected about him That’s what separated him from a lot of people but then he’d have you rolling on the floor laughing five minutes later because he’s going to say something that you haven't heard Jones was famous for how he demonstrated a jump stop to his players for his press defense — which Ferguson had him come teach to his teams after he took over — for spending 30 minutes on how to take a charge And for recognizing when there was a greater more practical life lesson that needed to be taught Derick Nelson the star of Jones’ 2004 boys state title team remembers discovering his car had a flat tire in the parking lot after practice “I didn’t know how to change it,” Nelson said He asked everybody on the team if they knew how to change a tire Every man should know how to change a tire.’ Something small like that That’s why I said he was more like a father figure for a lot of us because it just felt like a family playing for him He also got the best out of a lot of teams on the court during 32 years as the boys coach (until 2012) and 13 with the girls (through 2008) — including an era at Everett in the early 2000s that’s unlikely to ever be matched The Everett girls made the Class A state championship game three straight years Jones led the Everett boys to the Class A title The girls basketball season moved to the winter in 2007-08 and Jones coached one final season of both In terms of his feat — winning titles with both teams — he has few peers Hudsonville Unity Christian’s Scott Soodsma won a girls state title in 2006 and a boys title there in 2019 Lansing’s Paul Cook won at Eastern High School with the boys and later with Lansing Catholic’s girls team Those are the only other two coaches to win both titles No one else has done it while running both programs at the same school “He saw something in us that none of us thought that we had,” said Candice Jackson who starred on that 1999 team that made the state championship game “That's what led us to get all the way to the state championship and for them to go on and win it a couple years after back to back “I don't know if anybody in the Lansing area would have foreseen that when he first took the (girls) job I think we won like six games one year (as freshmen) and then seven games and then we didn't lose a game until regionals our junior year and then senior year in the state championship game they warmed up before games to the James Brown song Everett’s level of dominance in those championship seasons is something this area might never see again in girls basketball Good teams struggled to get the ball past half court he wouldn’t even go out there to receive the trophy,” Turner said “He told his assistants to go out there with the team.” He didn’t even show up when his girls championship teams went into the Greater Lansing Sports Hall of Fame He just swung by at the end of a reception for them later at the school “You couldn’t pay him to get in a picture,” Douglas said one of his girls teams saw it when he cried after a postseason win “He was a genuine and caring soul and he was a teacher by nature,” Jackson said of Jones who also taught physical education and coached JV baseball at Everett “He made sure that you didn't just pass the class “All the positive impact he had on so many kids’ lives I know I can probably speak for a lot of other players students and people — I’m eternally grateful and blessed to have had a chance to play for him and come up under him.”  A Johnny Jones memorial ceremony will be held from 12-3 p.m Anyone who'd like to celebrate Jones' life is welcome Follow him on X @Graham_Couch and BlueSky @GrahamCouch
