(Advocate photo by Tara Vocino) Suspicious glitter mailed to local straight pride parade organizer By Barbara Taormina T he Massachusetts State Police bomb squad, the FBI and local fire personnel and police responded to three reports of suspicious packages on Monday, including one delivered to a home on the Fellsway in Malden. The packages, envelopes filled with colored glitter and Bible verses, were delivered to three leading members of Super Happy Fun America, the group organizing a straight pride parade scheduled for Aug. 31 in Boston. Malden resident Mark Sahady, vice president of the group, President John Hugo of Salisbury and Sam Racioppi of Woburn all found taped envelopes with no return addresses in their mailboxes and contacted authorities. Malden Police were quick to post a message on Twitter explaining there was no threat of an explosion and the envelopes were taken to a lab for analysis and a follow-up investigation. A post on the Super Happy Fun America website said the glitter letters were sent by “domestic terrorists” intent on intimidating straight pride parade organizers. “These latest threats against Super Happy Fun America are obviously being made in response to our planned Straight Pride Parade to be held in Boston on Aug. 31. This serves at the end of Monday night’s School Committee meeting that she will not be seeking a third term, leaving the race for the Ward 5 seat on the committee wide open. “I want to thank Ward 5 for giving me the honor of representing them for the past four years,” said Beardsley, who added it is with sadness that she was announcing she would not be running for reelection in the fall. “My career and my family will as further proof of our sincerely held belief that Straight people are an oppressed majority,” wrote members of the group, who vowed the parade will go on. According to the group’s website, Sahady been involved in social justice issues in the Boston area for several years but is now focused on the problems of straight people of all income levels and social standing. “We will educate the public about straight issues and foster unity and respect by having a parade,” said Sahady. The idea of a straight pride parade has triggered plenty of SUSPICIOUS | SEE PAGE 19 Suffolk Downs send-off require more of my time in the future, and I’m not able to serve you to the best of my ability,” she said. Beardsley said she joined the School Committee to bring educational equity to all students in the city. “I’m proud that we have done a lot and accomplished a lot together,” she said, adding that she has six more months to continue working on ongoing projects and issues. Beardsley’s announcement opens the door to new candidates who may have been reluctant to challenge an incumbent who had not only had the support of Ward 5 but also the goodwill of families throughout the city. The other news on the city’s electoral landscape came with the latest update on the candidates from Assistant Registrar of Voters Carol Ann Desiderio. “As you'll see, we've had some movement within the campaigns, including a new candidate who has pulled papers in the Mayor’s race,” she said.

However, funding for the program, which offers academic support and enrichment activities, has failed to keep pace with teachers’ salaries and the need for additional staff. At the start of the program in 2006, teachers were paid for the extra time at a rate of 18 percent above their base pay. This year, they were offered 15 percent with the School Department covering a funding gap of roughly $100,000 to keep the program in both schools. The School Committee has always maintained that the cost of the Extended Learning Time program should be covered by the grant and should not dip into the School Department’s operating budget, which would affect funding for other schools. Each year, the faculty at Extended Learning Time schools must vote to accept the state grant and operate the program. Teachers at Ferryway voted for another year of Extended Learning Time, but the faculty at Salemwood voted to DISTRICT | SEE PAGE 8 Students lobby to get rid of plastic straws By Barbara Taormina O n the last day of school, a group of fourth graders at Forestdale School sat down and wrote a letter to Mayor Gary Christenson which he shared with the School Committee this week. The students reached out to Christenson to say they think the schools should stop using plastic straws and make the switch to paper. “The plastic used for the straws is being dumped into the ocean and the sea turtles are sucking up the straws and it’s making them sick,” they wrote. “We love the way that you pick up trash and we thank you for doing that,” read Christenson, who paused to assure committee members that the students actually included that line in their letter. The students went on to stress that each day pollution and plastic litter like drinking straws is killing sea turtles and many other sea animals. “We hope you will consider this small act that would save animals and show Malden cares,” they wrote. Christenson said that he, Superintendent of Schools John Oteri, Forestdale School Principal Donald Concannon and Malden Public Schools Food Service Director Omar Hernandez met with the students to discuss the proposed switch to paper straws and the students presented a compelling case. This week, Christenson asked the committee to support a pilot program to switch to paper straws at the Forestdale and Beebe Schools. Christenson said Beebe would be included in the pilot program since Beebe students had proposed switching to paper straws earlier this year during discussions on eliminating single-use plastic bags in Malden.

There’s only one home on Brazil Street that isn’t a total loss, the homeowner said, and the city provided temporary hotel accommodations since the water had to be shut off. “It’s not about the cause right Lauren Ecker, at left, buys a cup of yellow lemonade from Emory Sieswerda. now but more about getting people back into their homes,” Alderman-at-Large Michael Zwirko said during a neighborhood meeting last Wednesday night. Zwirko said that while the cause remains under investigation, it likely began with a blockage in the sewer pipes that released an unknown amount of sewage into people’s homes. In response, approximately eight students from Mystic Valley Regional Charter School who live within a two-block radius put together a homemade lemonade stand, which raised more than $1,000 on June 26. “People were very generous, many of them giving $20 for a strawberry or yellow lemonade that costs $1,” parent Lloyd Graves III said.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, July 5, 2019 Page 5 ARTLine Installation transforms Malden Friday, July 5 at 9 PM Live Music by TIME & AGAIN GIRLS Saturday, July 6 at 9 PM BILLY PEZZULO Singer/Musician Mayor Gary Christenson (center) with artists, elected officials and members of ARTLine (Photo Courtesy of the City of Malden) O n Thursday, June 20, ARTLine unveiled two sculptures and one mural on the ARTLine at the Canal Street Hub on the Northern Strand Community Trail. A large crowd turned out to view the newly installed public art by artists Colin Selig and Joe Malesky and a mural by Malden resident Clay Larsen. Detroit native and sculptor Joe Malesky works mostly with structural grade steel, wood and stone. Newton native artist Colin Selig takes junk propane tanks and transforms them into whimsical, colorful and comfortable benches. Malesky and Selig were among 120 artists across the country who answered ARTLine’s call to artists. Stay tuned for more murals and benches to be installed this summer and fall! Since last year, drawing inspiration from the NYC High Line, the Rose Kennedy Greenway and the mural festivals in Lynn and Worcester, Malden Arts has been working with Groundwork Somerville, Mass Development and the City of Malden to transform Malden and its section of the Northern Strand Community Trail into the ARTLine. The goal is a public art gallery with miles of professional murals, sculptures and hubs that will feature gathering spaces with bursts of art, greenscapes and pedestrian and bicycle accommodations, which will fuel economic growth through the act of creating unique and interesting places throughout Malden. Several of the Large Wall Murals will feature artwork by well-known artists, musicians and writers, including Norman Greenbaum, Ed Emberley, Frank Stella and Keith Knight, who were born in Malden, as well as a River of Ties Mural celebrating the old rail corridor and the Malden River, which both run though Malden. Malden Arts members are grateful to ARTLine donors John Preotle, City Councillors Jadeane Sica, Dave Camell, Neal Anderson, Craig Spadafora, Debbie DeMaria, Ryan O’Malley and the David A. DeMaria Foundation for their support of the Ed Emberley Mural, which got this project started.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, July 5, 2019 Page 7 ~ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ~ Regarding impending building demolitions I , Ryan O’Malley, write to correct the record related to the misinformation spread by an individual who recently wrote a letter to the editor of the Malden Advocate regarding the impending demolition of 1 Salem Street (the Teen Center Building) and 15 Ferry Street (Chris Fallon’s former building.) The author, Frank Russell, is a well-known figure in Malden who like me appreciates history and desires to protect our historic landmarks. I applaud him for his work with the Historical Society (of which I have been a member for over a decade) and his assistance to the Historical Commission in drafting and filing petitions to place various Malden landmarks on the Massachusetts Register of Historic Places. Frank and I are no strangers. In fact we have been in close contact for many months now on the topic of the threat of demolition facing 1 Salem Street and 15 Ferry Street. He is someone I have worked with to protect Malden’s proud past and I hope to continue to work with him now and in the future toward achieving that goal. While I think his recent actions are misguided, I understand the value of positivity, forgiveness, and cooperation. As such I will not speak negatively about this individual’s character and reputation; however, I must address the false information for the benefit of the public record. A Clear Track Record of Protecting Historic Landmarks As a longtime member of the Malden Historical Society and as a graduate from the College of the Holy Cross with a degree in Classics, the study of Ancient Rome and Greece, I take the demolition of our historic landmarks very seriously. That is why I have been consistently on the side of historic preservation. The Malden community knows this well. When the First Congregational Church on Pleasant Street was about to be demolished, I led the fight to try and save the structure. I approached the Historical Commission and asked for them to halt its demolition so that alternative uses for the beautiful building could be explored. At the time I was shocked to learn that there was no mechanism available to delay the demolition and save the church. Award-Winning Landscaping Servicing the North Shore for over 38 Years That experience is why in 2018 I worked diligently, as Chair of the City Council’s Ordinance Committee, with then Council President Debbie DeMaria, At-Large Councillor Craig Spadafora and the Historical Commission, lead by the renowned Barbara Tolstrup, to pass an ordinance to protect our historic buildings and landmarks. The result of this proactive collaboration was the Demolition Delay and Historic Facade Protection ordinance (“Demo Delay”) which allows the City of Malden to delay the demolition of historically or culturally significant buildings for up to one year. As a testament to the effectiveness of the new Demo Delay ordinance, the Historical Commission held a public hearing on June 5, 2019 where I spoke passionately against the demolition of 1 Salem and 15 Ferry Street buildings and advocated for a creative way of saving the buildings and their facades. The vast majority of the residents agreed with me on this matter and also voiced their support of saving the buildings and enacting the Demo Delay for the maximum time allowed: one year. We as a community were successful in advocating for the protection of these buildings and the Historic Commission voted to delay their demolition for one year. During this one year period the goal is for the private property owner and the Historical Commission to explore alternative options to avoid the demolition of our community’s significant buildings and landmarks. It is important to understand that compromise is crucial in order for our community to save, and if possible repurpose, historic buildings slated for demolition. If we do not work together to find a reasonable alternative to demolition the property owner would be able to move forward with the demolition once the one year time limit is up. I will repeat this for clarity: we BUILDING | SEE PAGE 22 Lawnmower Tune-Up and Repairs • We repair all makes & models! • Authorized • FREE PICK-UP for all Tune-Ups! all m • We r d K-U makes & mo ma akes & mo D KU for all Tun UP fo Biker’s Outfitter 1039 Broadway, Revere • (781) 289-6466 www.bikersoutfitter.com Dealer NOW BOOKING NEW CUSTOMERS!

Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, July 5, 2019 ~ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ~ Candidate for Ward 3 Councillor writes about local transportation To the Editor: My name is Amanda Linehan, and as many of you have read in these pages, I am running to represent Ward 3 on the Malden City Council. What you may not know is that I also work full time and take the Orange Line from Malden Center to Boston every day. I’ve seen first-hand how drastically bus cuts have hit local riders, and I know from my daily commute that Orange Line cars are in rough shape, with chronic delays and breakdowns. As a public school parent, I also know that the MBTA serves as our de facto school bus system, transporting hundreds of students to Malden classrooms every morning. We are a city that relies on the T. That’s why, early Monday morning, I joined hundreds of volunteers across Greater Boston as part of the #BostonTParty to protest the MBTA’s most recent #UnfairHikes. The six percent fare increase that went into effect July 1 comes on the heels of several other fare hikes in recent years, adding up to a staggering 41 percent increase since 2012. To do this without a real plan to fund the transit system Maldonians rely on every day is simply unacceptable. Raising fares amid worsening service gives commuters one more reason to choose driving and ride-hailing over transit, and that’s not good for our Amanda Linehan, candidate for Ward 3 Councillor traffic, our climate, or our quality of life. Our system is in decline, and desperately needs the kind of long-term, sustainable investment and accountability that raising fares alone won’t provide. When everyday residents can’t get to daycare pickup on time, or are late to important meetings or job interviews, or (worse) lose pay or employment because of the T, we as a community need to stand together to demand better. On Monday, I stood beside friends, neighbors and colleagues to do just that, to tell the MBTA loud and clear: enough is enough. Maldonians deserve an affordable and reliable public transportation system and we need to pursue proven solutions that will get us there. Tools such as increasing the gas tax, raising fees on Uber and Lyft, and exploring regional congestion pricing would all help directly fund a robust transportation system, including better roads, transit, and bike and pedestrian amenities. Massachusetts should also allow cities and towns to band together and vote locally on regional ballot initiatives to fund transportation improvements where they are needed most, without waiting on state or federal dollars. Working with our newly-funded transportation planner, City Hall could explore dedicated bus lanes, an expanded biking network, drop-off zones for Uber and Lyft to alleviate traffic, and so much more. If you elect me to the City Council, I promise I will continue to advocate for a transportation system that serves all commuters and helps to solve the problems our city faces, not exacerbate them. I will work with elected officials in Malden, Greater Boston, and the Legislature to ensure our needs are heard. Please join me in raising your voice to demand the kind of modern transportation network we deserve. Working together, we can make it a reality! Amanda Linehan Ward 3 City Council Candidate B Malden legislators applaud $153K MassTrails Grant for Spot Pond Brook Greenway T he Malden legislative delegation – State Senator Jason Lewis and State Representatives Steve Ultrino, Paul Donato and Paul Brodeur – is pleased to announce that Malden has been awarded a $153,056 MassTrails Grant. This grant funding will be used to pay for the design, engineering and permitting of the Spot Pond Brook Greenway (SPBG), a proposed multiuse path alongside the MBTA Orange Line’s Oak Grove Station. The SPBG project will extend an existing shared use path along MBTA and state Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) property adjacent to Oak Grove Station in Melrose and Malden. This stretch of the trail will take advantage of the MBTA's ongoing roadway and parking lot reconstruction project at Oak Grove Station, and the design of the roadway project has been modified by the MBTA to allow room for the construction of the shared use path. “This grant is great news for our ongoing efforts to improve access and safety for pedestrians and cyclists at Oak Grove Station,” said Senator Lewis. “I want to thank in particular Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley for his hard work and advocacy in helping the city to secure this grant.” “We welcome these funds from the Commonwealth as we continue to develop alternative ways of transportation and increase the amount of environmentally friendly recreation for our residents,” said Representative Ultrino. “All the stakeholders have worked extremely hard to plan this innovative approach allowing them to be a recipient of these funds.” “I applaud all involved in securing this grant,” said Representative Donato. “It is yet another example of interested parties working together to better our community.” “Multimodal access to quality transportation is a major asset our residents value,” said Representative Brodeur. “This grant will complement our ongoing efforts to improve the facilities at and around Oak Grove, and I am grateful to have played a role.” Funding for MassTrails Grants comes from DCR’s capital budget and from the motor fuel excise tax on off-road vehicles, including ATVs and snowmobiles, which is provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Surface Transportation Act, in coordination with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, July 5, 2019 Page 9 Virginia Ruane Recalls Her Firefighter Father By Virginia Ruane I thank you for this great honor! I am delighted to be here. I wondered why I was selected. After much thought I remembered that not only was my father a firefighter, but so was my husband. So I guess I qualify! Both are gone, but not forgotten. Nor are any of the firefighters of yesterday and today. Such a legacy has been passed on from that generation to us of today. My father loved his job, but at the age of about 55, he was hurt at a fire in the Maplewood Section of Malden. He fell down a flight of stairs and had to take his retirement. He did not want to, but he had to. My husband, on the other hand, also loved his job, loved the men he worked with, had to retire, but for another reason – his age: 65 years old. And he had to go. Both men were dedicated to the Malden Fire Department. I am very proud of them. So as I stand here, I guess I belong. There have been many changes from the days of old – one big one is women have been added to the Fire Department, and I believe it is a good decision. In the days of old, men had to wear uniforms to work and they looked handsome. The only place I have seen them now is in parades. In my father’s day, to leave the city even on your day off, you had to get permission from Headquarters (the Central Fire Station). My father’s father lived in Cambridge – on his day off, he had to get permission to go visit his father there. He accepted all the rules.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, July 5, 2019 Historical reenactment celebrates American independence By Tara Vocino A pproximately 40 people revisited the Founding Era by celebrating Malden Declaration Day on Friday night at the Malden Public Library. Guests viewed original and digital displays of the city’s municipal documents from the Revolutionary Period, some of which were enclosed in glass cases for preservation. Afterward, historical actor Thomas Coots performed the third annual reading of the “Instructions of the Inhabitants of Malden, Massachusetts to their Representatives in Congress.” He was then escorted by the William Diamond Junior Fife & Drums Corps along Salem Street onto the library’s front lawn. Also known as the Malden Instructions, the 1776 document was unanimously voted on by the residents of Malden to be delivered to the Second Continental Congress by their representative Ezra Sargeant, who was portrayed by Joseph Brown. Town Clerk Samuel Merritt wrote the document, according to Coots. In the communication, Malden voters renounced the Colony’s ties to Great Britain and asked to become an independent American republic. The document is credited as a precursor to the Declaration of Independence. The original document will remain on display at the library. Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.

Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, July 5, 2019 ~ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ~ Malden officials tout our diversity, but do nothing to preserve it Dear Editor. Malden is one of the most diverse cities in the state. City officials often use this talking point as a way to highlight how welcoming and inclusive the city is. But how inclusive is it, really? You need look no further than our city’s housing stock – and what our city leaders say about housing – to surmise that, perhaps, Malden is not as inclusive as they suggest. I was perplexed by the Mayor’s proclamation of his anti-housing position in his recent op-ed and by the anti-housing rhetoric of his opponent John Matheson. The Mayor seems oddly proud of being the lone voice among more than a dozen metro mayors obstinately refusing to do his part to address what is a regional crisis of housing affordability. Our local leaders seem to think that, amid this regional housing crisis, we can simply wall the city off and that would maintain the status quo. STUDENTS | FROM PAGE 2 School Committee Member Tara Beardsley said the pilot program is an opportunity that could open the door to other student initiatives like more recycling or a Malden Schools Green New Deal. She urged administrators to allow the Forestdale students to own the program and to let them propel it through the district. Malden is – perhaps to the chagrin of some – not an island. We are not insulated from rising housing costs. The housing crunch is here, whether we like it or not. If we continue to dig our heels in and try to prevent any new housing development, we risk pushing out the most vulnerable among us. Because of historic, systemic racism, people of color face barriers to opportunity and have less access to financial assets to help cushion the blow from a volatile housing market. This includes Black, Latinx, Chinese, Haitian, Arab, Vietnamese, and other Maldonians who make the fabric of the community we all love. It is said that the type of housing you have in a community indicates who you want your neighbors to be. Increasingly in Malden, the housing stock is neither diverse nor affordable to low- and middle-income workers, families, and older adults. “These youngsters are thinking, and they are thinking very positively, and they are looking to us to validate their thinking,” said School Committee Vice Chair Leonard Iovino. “I think that if we don’t do this, we are making a serious error.” Christenson said that Hernandez believes he could cover the cost of switching to paper straws at Forestdale and Beebe internally through the Maldonian graduates from University of New Haven W EST HAVEN, Conn. – Cameron Koizumi of Malden recently graduated from the University of New Haven with a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance. The University of New Haven, which was founded on the Yale campus in 1920, is a private, coeducational university situated on the coast of southern New England. It’s a diverse and vibrant community of more than 6,800 students, with campuses around the country and the world. Maldonian graduates from Centre College D ANVILLE, Ky. – Aryzona MacDonald of Malden graduated from Centre College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology during the 196th Commencement ceremony held on campus on May 19. MacDonald is the daughter of Bobbi-Jo MacDonald of Malden and the late Phil MacDonald and is a graduate of Malden High School. Kentucky historian Stuart Sanders, Centre College Class of 1995, and the Rev. Canon Naomi Tutu both received honorary degrees and addressed the graduates. Tutu spoke at the morning baccalaureate service, where her sermon celebrated the humanity, dignity and wonderful variability of all people. Sanders used his commencement address, “Seeking Inspiration from Our Past,” to highlight Centre alumni from the past who should inspire the future.

In early June, researcher Amy Dain published a report looking at the local zoning policies of 100 cities and towns in Eastern Massachusetts and found that, as the region’s housing prices are surpassing those in New York City, cities and towns are using measures that restrict multifamily housing. Very little land is zoned for multifamily housing and developers have to go through the approval process, which has become increasingly discretionary and ad hoc, according to Dain, which can be expensive and risky. These costs are passed on to households. Last week another report from The Boston Foundation and led by Alicia Sasser Modestino found that, although overtly discriminatory practices have been outlawed, current policies have done little to reverse these harmful legacies. In fact, food service budget. He also said the pilot program would be ready to launch in September. Hernandez estimated that switching the entire district over to paper straws would cost somewhere between current policies can even “promote segregation implicitly and create additional barriers to opportunity.” That statement from Sasser Modestino’s report highlights a key issue in the debate around whether to allow more housing developments in Malden – schools. Rising housing costs won’t only make it harder to find a home in Malden; it will also make it harder to educate our kids. If Malden completely freezes housing development as many have suggested, property values will skyrocket, and Chapter 70 education funding for our schools will plummet. We’d be forcing ourselves to educate roughly the same number of students while pushing away the state funding that helps us do so now. In reading these reports, Malden often came to mind. In a city where residential buildings with three or more units require a special permit, the process is $8,000 and $10,000. But again, he was confident he could cover the cost internally without raising the price of school lunches. The pledge of no additional costs was enough to seal the deal, and the committee votmuch more political and reduces the chances that we will follow a methodical, citywide plan for where to develop new housing – if any. Through this practice, we discourage developers from even considering Malden and those who do will try to recoup the higher cost from Maldonians. The fabric of our community is at risk. Meanwhile our decision-makers think that, by doing nothing, we are preserving the city as it is. The opposite is true. Maldonians face rising housing prices and, if we continue to do nothing, many will be pushed out of the community. The actions, not words, of our leaders make our community inclusive. If we want to tout the diversity of our community to highlight what an inclusive community we are, then we have to mean it. Sincerely, Monique Ching Malden resident ed unanimously to support the pilot program. Christenson said the students will be invited to join school officials for some type of official recognition of the program in September to highlight what they’ve accomplished. We Love You Mom

Also, some medicaMalden Public Library hosts free ice cream day tions that older adults are taking can affect the way their bodies regulate heat. Here are some tips and resources to help you beat the heat: Slow down and avoid strenuous activity. Don’t try to do too much on a hot day. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing. Light colors will reflect heat and sunlight and help maintain normal body temperature. Protect your face with a wide-brimmed hat. Drink plenty of water regularly and often, even if you do not feel thirsty. Stay hydrated. Limit your intake of alcoholic beverages, as they can actually dehydrate your body. Eat well-balanced, light, regular meals. Avoid high-protein foods that increase metabolic heat. Cover windows that receive WHAT’S THE SCOOP?

New York Athletic Club (NYAC) visits Harry Della Russo Stadium in Revere at 7 p.m., with the Lions in a confident mood, having won at home for the first time this season. NYAC also took three points from their penultimate match and scored four goals in the process, so soccer fans should be in for a treat on Saturday. Tickets are available at www.BostonCityFC.com. Historically, NYAC has proved to be a troublesome opponent for the Lions, winning in Boston in 2016 and 2017, with Boston City claiming victory in only one of six meetings. Buoyed by last Sunday’s home success, which knocked bitter rivals the Stockade out of postseason contention, the hosts will be looking for three points to reward the home fans in Revere. The sides played out a 1-1 draw earlier in the season with Jhonata Batista finding the target, though the club’s top scorer was absent from the win over the Stockade as four defenders operating in midfield The Boston City Football Club each scored for the first time. In a memorable victory, William Balanta earned a 16th-minute lead with a decisive finish from 15 yards out; nine minutes later Willian Bonora Santana doubled the advantage as he broke free on goal, calmly controlled the ball and slotted a composed finish past the keeper. Kingston drew level with two second-half goals, but Francisco Neto’s trickery won a penalty that he scored to take a 3-2 lead, and Avner Alves also converted from the spot in added time. The club's Ironside Crew supporter group will present their Player of the Season award following Saturday’s match. Previous winners were goalkeeper Vitor Scariot (2016), top scorer Isaac “Nana” Addai (2017) and goalkeeper Jake Wagmeister (2018).

ALLOW UNIONS TO CHARGE NON-UNION MEMBERS FOR SOME COSTS (S 2273) Senate 38-1, approved a bill that would allow public sector unions to charge non-members for the cost of some services and representation. The bill was filed as a response to a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that public employees cannot be forced to pay fees or dues to a union to which he or she does not belong. Freedom of speech advocates hailed the decision while labor advocates said it was an unjust attack on unions. “Today we protect the right of unions to be able to make the case for membership to new hires, and to be compensated for representation they offer,” said Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “Unions have benefited all of us. They helped build the middle class, and they are now our main protection against its erosion. This bill is an important step in the fight against the rising tide of inequality, and it will safeguard the support that unions have provided for generations to workers across the commonwealth.” “The Boston Globe’s editorial on the Janus fix was spot on,” said Rep. Ryan Fattman (R-Webster), the only senator who voted against the bill. “I agreed with the underlying legislation, however as the Boston Globe pointed out, the Senate had the opportunity to protect private information including the personal cell phone, email, and birth dates of the employee and their family members who chose not to be part of a union. We failed to do so. I believe if you choose to opt out of union membership your personal and private information should be exactly that: personal and private. These employees should not be compelled to turn over that private information to anyone. It is because of this privacy concern that I voted no.” “I urge my colleagues to reject all the amendments that would undermine the principles set forth in this underlying bill and adopt a bill that will, again, ensure workers can come together, can organize together, can work together,” said Sen. Marc Pacheco (D-Taunton), during Senate debate on the floor. “[And] to have a voice that will help each and every one of us as citizens of this commonwealth and, at the end of the day, help to continue to improve the economy in a way that is more equitable for all people.” “Legislators today voted against amendments that sought to educate workers on their rights regarding union membership, to give employees control over their private and personal information, and to protect that personal information once it is in the hands of union bosses,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “One thing is absolutely clear—this legislation has nothing to do with protecting employees. It is entirely about protecting union bosses and advancing their power over the workers. The legitimate concerns over protecting people’s right to privacy were completely swept under the rug by lawmakers beholden to union bosses. We urge the governor to veto the bill when it lands on his desk.” The House has approved a different version of the bill and a conference committee will likely work out a compromise version. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes PERSONAL INFO (S 2273) Senate 6-32, rejected an amendment that would eliminate the requirement that employees give the union their home address, home and cell phone number and personal email address. The amendment would leave in place the requirement that the employee provide his or her work telephone number and work email address. Amendment supporters said that requiring personal information is an invasion of the employee’s privacy. They noted that unions have enough ways to contact new employees without using personal information. Amendment opponents said laws have to keep up with the times. They noted that today’s communication is done via cell phone and personal email adVATE (S 2273) Senate 7-31, rejected an amendment requiring that unions keep the personal information of an employee confidential. Amendment supporters said this is a simple amendment that ensures privacy and guarantees that the union will not sell the employee’s information. Amendment opponents said this is a problem in search of a solution and that this information is already kept confidential. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis No EMPLOYEE NOT REQUIRED TO MEET WITH THE UNION (S 2271) Senate 5-33, rejected an amendment providing that no newly-hired employee be required to meet with the union. Amendment supporters said the bill ensures that the union has the ability to meet with new hires. They said it is vague on whether the new employee can decide not to go the meeting. They noted that this amendment clarifies that the employee can opt out of the meeting. Amendment opponents said the amendment is unnecessary because nothing in the bill requires an employee to meet with a union or prohibits the employee from choosing not to go to the meeting. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it Sen. Jason Lewis No HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of th /e Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of June 24-28, the House met for a total of four hours and five minutes while the Senate met for a total of six hours and 56 minutes. Monday, June 24 House 11:05 a.m. to 11:25 a.m. Senate 11:20 a.m. to 12:33 p.m. Tuesday, June 25 No House session Wednesday, June 26 No House session Friday, June 28 No House session No Senate session No Senate session Thursday, June 27 House 11:06 a.m. to 2:51 p.m. Senate 11:12 a.m. to 4:55 p.m. No Senate session Bob Katzen welcomes feedback at bob@beaconhillrollcall.com Savvy Senior Hiring an In-Home Caregiver Dear Savvy Senior, I need to locate a good in-home caregiver for my 83-year-old mother. What’s the best way to find and hire one? Looking for Care Dear Looking, Finding a good in-home caregiver for an elderly parent can be challenging. How can you find one that’s reliable and trustworthy, as well as someone your parent likes and is comfortable with? Here are some tips that can help. Know Your Needs Before you start the task of looking for an in-home caregiver, your first step is to determine the level of care your mom needs. This can pinpoint the type of help she’ll need. For example, if she only needs help with daily living tasks like shopping, cooking, doing laundry, bathing or dressing, a “homemaker” or “personal care aide” will do. But, if she needs health care services, there are “home health aides” that may do all the things a homemaker does, plus they also have training in administering medications, changing wound dressings and other medically related duties. Home health aides often work under a nurse’s supervision. Once you settle on a level of care, you then need to decide how many hours of assistance she’ll need. For example, does your mom need someone to come in just a few mornings a week to help her cook, clean, run errands or perhaps bathe? Or does she need more continuous care that requires daily visits or a full-time aide? After you determine her needs, there are two ways in which you can go about hiring someone. Either through an agency, or you can hire someone directly on your own. Hiring Through an Agency Hiring a personal care or home health aide through an agency is the safest and easiest option, but it’s more expensive. Costs typically run anywhere between $14 and $25 an hour depending on where you live and the qualification of the aide. How it works is you pay the agency, and they handle everything including an assessment of your mom’s needs, assigning appropriately trained and pre-screened staff to care for her, and finding a fill-in on days her aide cannot come. Some of the drawbacks, however, are that you may not have much input into the selection of the caregiver, and the caregivers may change or alternate, which can cause a disruption. To find a home-care agency in your mom’s area ask for referrals through friends, family or doctor’s offices, or use the homecare locator service tool at PayingForSeniorCare.com – click on “Find Quality, Affordable Care.” In addition, Medicare offers a home health compare tool at Medicare.gov/HomeHealthCompare to help you find and compare home health care agencies. You also need to be aware that original Medicare does not cover in-home caregiving services unless your mom is receiving doctor’s ordered skilled nursing or therapy services at home too. But, if your mom is in a certain Medicare Advantage plan, or is low-income and qualifies for Medicaid, she may be eligible for some coverage. Hiring Directly Hiring an independent caregiver on your own is the other option, and it’s less expensive. Costs typically range between $12 and $20 per hour. Hiring directly also gives you more control over who you hire so you can choose someone who you feel is right for your mom. But, be aware that if you do hire someone on your own, you become the employer so there’s no agency support to fall back on if a problem occurs or if the aide doesn’t show up. You’re also responsible for paying payroll taxes and any worker-related injuries that may happen. If you choose this option make sure you check the aide’s references thoroughly, and do a criminal background check, which you can do sites like eNannySource.com. To find someone, ask for referrals or try eldercare-matching services like Care.com or CareLinx.com. Or, for a fee, an aging life care expert (see AgingLifeCare.org) can help you find someone.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, July 5, 2019 Page 19 SUSPICIOUS | FROM PAGE 1 outrage in the national press and on social media, with many suggesting the event is meant to mock and harass the LGBTQ community, which last month marked the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots and the birth of the gay rights movement. Alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, who was tapped to be the parade’s grand marshal, acknowledged in a YouTube video that the parade is an “inversion of leftist stuff,” which is what makes it humorous. “I get the joke of this, but I also get the seriousness of it,” said Yiannopoulos. “I agree with the ideological motivation behind all of this, obviously.” But not a lot of people have been laughing. Straight people have obviously not been subjected to the violence and discrimination that members of the gay community know too well. Most people seem to agree that a straight pride parade ridicules that experience. Other reports on Super Happy Fun America have gone beyond the obvious and pointed out that the parade is suspect not only because of its intention to taunt and deride, but also because of the ties the organizers have to other far-right groups. Sahady has been repeatedly called out for his for association with the Boston chapter of Resist Marxism, a loose-knit umbrella organization that embraces Western culture, Christianity and capitalism and opposes all things progressive, including open borders, hate speech laws, identity politics, political correctness and postmodernism. He has been credited with organizing the Free Speech Rally and the Rally for the Republic, two alt-right events held in the wake of the violent Unite the Right rally of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia. Reporters, commentators and bloggers have also placed Sahady in the thick of it during violent confrontations at demonstrations in Oregon and Rhode Island. And he has defended the Proud Boys, a far-right group that attends alt-right rallies under the guise of keeping the peace but who many say provoke confrontations and brawls. Sahady’s defenders, other altright minded activists and commentators, say he has been unfairly labeled as a fascist and a neo-Nazi and his views are neither extreme nor violent. But others suggest that Sahady and other far-right activists have developed a subtler form of attack and the straight pride parade is a prime example. “COMPLETE GLASS SERVICE CENTER” Storefronts & Entrance Doors Custom Mirrors • Table Tops • Auto Glass Insulated Glass • Window & Screen Repairs 2034 Revere Beach Parkway, Everett 617-389-GLAS COMEAU PLUMBING & HEATING Small Projects and Emergency Repairs LICENSED INSURED Window, floor, deck, and gutter Walter Robinson (617) 415-3933 cleaning Power-washing, trash removal & clean up Erik Comeau Master Plumber erikcomeau75@gmail.com FREE ESTIMATES Saugus, Mass.

Page 22 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, July 5, 2019 BUILDING | FROM PAGE 7 have been able to delay the demolition of these historic buildings for up to one year. A single year – not indefinitely. Now the real work begins. How can these buildings be saved or repurposed? During the public hearing the property owner’s representative offered to relocate and give the City 15 Ferry Street. Some have proposed this building be used to house a Museum of Malden history and/or house the Malden Historical Society. The fact that this is one of just three buildings left that were gifted by the Converse family makes the proposal something the public and the Historical Commission should vet. We cannot lose this building. Additional Protection for Converse Square To add another layer of protection to Malden’s most historic square, I have proposed and the City Council unanimously passed a resolution to have Converse Square, where 1 Salem Street and 15 Ferry Street are located, designated a Local Historic District. This process takes a long time and needs to be undertaken immediately if we are to be able to ensure the protection of other historic buildings like the Malden Public Library, the First Baptist Church, the Davenport Estate, the Odd Fellows Building, Malden High School’s art deco building, and the Central Fire Station. If we as a community can band together on this vitally important issue we just may be able to save historic buildings from being razed. I hope you will join me in fighting for the best possible outcome as we work together to protect our shared cultural heritage.
