Maldden alld a Vol. 29, No. 53 den AD -FREEO n a cold December morning, just over a century and a half ago, Watchman David S. Faulkner was doing what so many who have followed him have done as well. Making the night rounds just a few hours after midnight on December 22, 1868, Watchman Faulkner was at his post, protecting the citizens of Malden from loss, danger and harm. Acting on a tip from a neighborhood citizen, Faulkner and his partner, another Malden Watchman by the name of George Chase, were beefing up a patrol around one of Malden’s focal sites, the Summer Street train depot, which was located midway between Pleasant Street and the western end of Mountain Avenue.

Discuss how they are doing around the house and ask what their daily routine looks like. Is it becoming increasingly diffi cult to get up and get dressed in the morning? Is it a challenge to navigate successfully in the bathroom? Have there been any falls or other accidents in the home? Are they preparing healthy meals and eating them? These are just some of the issues that an MVES care manager can address with you and your parents. Consultations are free and there are no obligations. Options and choices will be presented for consideration by your parents and you as caregivers. The great news is that most individuals will be fortunate to live well into their older years. The other news is that while it may be hard to accept as people age, many will eventually require some type of assistance. But ask any older adult where they prefer to live as they age, and the response will likely be “at home.” MVES’s Home Care Program provides access to a variety of in-home and community-based services that make these daily activities easier. The program is available to individuals ages 60 and over who need help with a range of daily tasks. People can receive services no matter what their income level might be, and the fees are based on a sliding scale. Care managers will provide all the information on eligibility guidelines, fees and availability of services up front as you consider options that make the most sense for your parents and you as a caregiver. We understand that each person/family has different needs, and we tailor care plans to meet those unique circumstances and needs. And we will continue working with you and your parents for as long as you need, and the advice and care planning is always free. A fundamental advantage Happy New Year from Everett Bank!

The person gets to continue living by his or her own schedule, choosing when to eat, sleep and socialize. MVES describes this as person-centered care and does everything possible to support each person’s ability to receive care at home on his or her own terms in the safest matter. Home care can help older adults remain in their homes and be healthier, more socially engaged and independent. In fact, research shows home care can expedite healing and improve older adults’ quality of life. It can also prevent or delay the need for long-term care, which is fi - nancially better for individuals and their families. Frank, 87, of Chelsea, is receiving homecare services, including homemaking, a medication dispenser, a personal emergency response system, nutrition counseling and home-delivered meals. As the caregiver, Frank’s son is pleased with the services. “Mystic Valley Elder Services provides support for both my father and my family in a caring manner. They knew my father’s likes and dislikes and provided a care plan that met all of his individual needs,” said Frank’s son. “I’m so grateful to the staff who have helped my father age in place. Because they have adapted to my father’s needs, he continues to feel independent.” Since Frank is very low income and is eligible for MassHealth coverage, his services are no cost to him. MVES believes everyone should have the ability to live life to the fullest, with dignity. Through the Home Care Program and the care manager’s customized care plan, older adults are given the support they need to remain in their homes and communities. Make this holiday special for your parents and think about how you can give them additional support and reassurance through MVES’s range of home- and community-based services.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Thursday, December 31, 2020 Page 3 Longtime Councillor Neal Anderson elected City Council President for 2021 He’s one of the longest-serving municipal legislators in Malden history By Steve Freker O ne of Malden’s longest-serving city legislators in municipal history is taking the reins as Malden City Council President for 2021. Longtime Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson will be wielding the gavel beginning with the fi rst meeting of the New Year in January after being elected at the last City Council meeting of the year on December 22. Anderson was elected by a majority vote of the Council, with the vote then changed to unanimous at the request of Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley, who had been the runner-up in the Council’s roll call balloting. Anderson will have served 26 years on the Malden City Council as of the close of this year, 12 terms in all, beginning when he was fi rst elected to represent Ward 7 in the fall of 1983. He served seven consecutive terms on the Council until he lost a reelection bid in 1997, leading to a 10-year break in his Council tenure. In 2007, Councillor Anderson returned to the political scene and ran for election to a then open Ward 7 seat, winning by a wide margin. Since returning in 2008, he has served six more terms, having last been reelected in 2019 to a seventh straight term. Councillor Anderson is rivaled in longevity by Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon, who followed a similar path, serving on the Council for many years, departing for a spell of years and then returning. The Ward 7 Councillor has also served as Council President several times in the past. Most recently, he made Council history when he served two consecutive years handling the gavel, in 2013 and 2014. At the time, the second year drew some controversy. The two years had never been done at the time. However, that mode was continued in the past two years as outgoing Council President Jadeane Sica, who represents Ward 8, has been at the Council helm AUTOTECH 1989 SINCE CA$H Neal Anderson Incoming Council President in both 2019 and 2020. Anderson, at the December 22 meeting, pledged to help keep the Council on a solid course heading into 2021. “It will be another challenging year, but we will continue to work together and come to the right decisions for the citizens of Malden, as we have done in the past,” Councillor Anderson said. Before the vote was taken, Ward 4’s O’Malley made a formal pitch for the Council President post, citing past practices of the Council and his desire and capability to handle the Jadeane Sica Outgoing Council President position. When the fi rst round of voting took place and Anderson was the majority winner by a 6-5 margin, O’Malley requested the record show a unanimous vote, and that motion was passed 11-0 by the Council, in a show of unity by its members. Anderson later publicly acknowledged and thanked O’Malley for the gesture. The Councillors were also unanimous in their expressions of their thanks to outgoing Council President COUNCILLOR | SEE PAGE 18 FOR YOUR CAR! DRIVE IT - PUSH IT - TOW IT!

Levine T he next couple of Malden: today, tomorrow, and yesterdays will be the equivalent of summer reruns. Not sure if they even do summer reruns any longer, but here ya go anyway. This column appeared a few years back. It was a wicked blast to write and readers liked it (“Mikey likes it!”). Back by popular demand: “Malden in 1967.” Part One: Malden in 1966 was designated as an “All American City.” All American banners were flying high across our main streets and Malden had the swagger of a city on the rise; the future looked bright going into 1967 and in honor of the 53rd anniversary of the Summer of Love here is a snapshot of Malden as we appeared in that lazy, crazy, hazy yesteryear: “Torby” Macdonald represented us in Washington. Malden’s John Volpe was Governor. Walter Kelliher was Mayor. Paul H. Phaneuf was the Superintendent of Schools. The legendary Bill Tighe was the head football coach at the High School. The equally as legendary Eddie Melanson was the Director of Athletics and Physical Education. Michigan Governor George Romney is trying to persuade Massachusetts Governor John Volpe not to enter the 1968 GOP New Hampshire Presidential Primary. Romney figures having Volpe in the primaries will draw his support away. Volpe is being mentioned in some circles as a GOP Vice Presidential candidate in 1968. Volpe has deep Malden ties and calls the All-American City home. The Vietnam War is raging. It is dividing the country. Tens of thousands gather in Washington (and around the rest of the country) to protest. Malden is no exception.

His name can be viewed on Panel 21E, Row 9 on the Vietnam Veterans Wall. Many brave Maldonians will go off to fight in Southeast Asia; you can view memorials to the ones that did not come home scattered across the city. Cable TV is coming to Malden in 1968. C.A.T.V. as cable was called in those days may be “piped” into the homes of Malden subscribers via a community antenna service come the New Year. Malden, Medford and Somerville are the first communities in the Metro Boston area to take any definite steps towards bringing the miracle of C.A.T.V. to their residents.

At Forestdale, the age nine to 11 boys sack race was won by Greg Lucey and partner Ricky Taich; Cathy Winslow won the 11-12 girls sack race and Mark Angrisano participated in the bean bag game for boys three to five. Waitresses are wanted at the Kernwood on Dartmouth Street. In early 1967, Malden resident Albert DeSalvo (aka the alleged Boston Strangler) is sentenced to life in prison. DeSalvo lived on Florence Street and would frequent many of the bars in the area, such as the West End Grille and Charlie Brown’s on Pleasant Street. Dr. West’s Medicine Show and Junk Band featuring Lisbon Street’s Norman “Spirit in the Sky” Greenbaum have a Billboard Top 100 hit in 1967 with their “psychedelic” number “The Eggplant That Ate Chicago.” The average cost for a gallon of gas is 33 cents.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Thursday, December 31, 2020 Page 11 OFFICER | FROM PAGE 1 Faulkner family due to their courageous patriarch’s service and sacrifice. Faulkner’s mother had 11 children and had deep roots, having been born in Malden in 1798, and lived to the age of 94, some 24 years after her eldest son was killed. Eventually, the two suspects first spied at the Summer Street Depot were caught in the town of Salem, Mass., and put in prison. Last week, on December 22, again, three days before Christmas and exactly 152 years later, Police Chief Kevin Molis headed up the unveiling of a permanent sign memorial in Watchman David Faulkner’s honor, at 53 Summer St. at the site of the very train depot where his life was taken. The well-preserved structure is now the home of the well-known local restaurant Pearl Street Station. “Watchman” dates back to the 5th century Molis detailed the use and derivation of the term “watchman” and revealed it had been used as early as the 5th century A.D., to describe a “protector at night.” The chief also noted that while no family members are around to witness Watchman Faulkner’s memorial, “in a sense, all of you gathered today are his family, here to honor him, his brothers and sisters from the Malden Police Department.” Chief Molis also quoted from speech from the late President John F. Kennedy where he referred to a watchman, noting his courage and diligent duty, calling it “righteous”. “What David Faulkner did was truly righteous. He gave his life for the safety of others. It was righteous then and it has been righteous throughout the proud history of the Malden Police Department and police service all around this country,” Chief Molis said. “It remains vividly righteous in the service and sacrifice that you, the members of the Malden Police Department, make each and every day,” Chief Molis added. “You do not serve in vain.” Malden Police Officer Amanda Selfridge pulled the cloth unveiling the sign, and Police Captain Glenn Cronin played “Taps” in Watchman Faulkner’s honor. Second memorial to a fallen officer this year This was the second unveiling of a fallen Malden police officer memorial this year, as in November, Malden Ptl. Isaiah McClain was honored with a similar ceremony held on Fellsway East. He was killed by a gunman on November 12, 1934. Two other Malden Police officers died in the line of duty; Officer Edward Callahan was shot and killed in a store robbery in Malden Police Officers stood at attention during last Tuesday afternoon’s ceremony for the first member of the Malden Police Department to be killed in the line of duty. Malden Police Chief Kevin Molis said Watchman David Faulkner was shot in the chest during a potential robbery at 53 Summer St. on December 22, 1868. (Advocate photos by Tara Vocino) Malden Police Officer Amanda Yanovitch unveiled the sign. A memorial was held on the calendar day, Dec. 22, when Watchman David Faulkner gave “his last full measure.” September 1963. A permanent memorial in his honor has been in place at the site, at the intersection of Elm and Pleasant Street. Officer Aldo Ray died from complications from an illness in the line of duty in 2014. He is memorialized, along with the other officers who died in the line of duty, in a permanent memorial stone in front of the Malden Police Station at 500 Eastern Ave. (Route 60). (Advocate photos by Tara Vocino) During taps, Police Chief Kevin Molis saluted along with Officer Amanda Yanovitch. Police Captain Glenn Cronin played taps. The memorial sign was placed between the American flag and Malden flag.
Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Thursday, December 31, 2020 MVES and Cornucopia Foods partner to deliver more than 300 meals on Christmas Eve M ystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) and Cornucopia Foods, both of Malden, partnered on Christmas Eve to deliver more than 300 meals to older adults served by MVES so they could have a nutritious meal for Christmas. The meal contained baked stuffed chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, carrots and gravy prepared and donated by Cornucopia Foods. The meals were delivered by more than 35 volunteers to individuals living in Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Melrose, North Reading, Reading, Revere, Stoneham, Wakefield and Winthrop. Mystic Valley Elder Services Community Programs Director Lauren Reid handed off meals to delivery volunteer Holly Ardito and her daughter. DEDUCTIBILITY OF THE PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM EXPENDITURES T he Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 provides for the deductibility for the expenditures paid for with the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan proceeds. This Act just passed both houses of Congress on December 21, 2020. President Donald J. Trump signed it into law on December 27, 2020. This reverses the Internal Revenue Service’s recent revenue rulings stating that the expenditures would not be deductible as the proceeds of the PPP loan represented tax-exempt income. This is truly having your cake and eat it too. Not only do businesses now not have to report the loan forgiveness as income, they now have the ability to deduct all of the expenditures. It’s a big win for businesses that have suffered so much as a result of the Corona Virus. The COVID-Related Tax Relief Act of 2020 (COVIDTRA), Section 276(a)(1) codifies the deductibility of the expenditures paid for with the PPP loan proceeds. COVIDTRA also provides that the tax basis and other attributes of the business’ assets will not be reduced as a result of the PPP loan forgiveness. COVIDTRA also provides for the direct payments to individual taxpayers called “recovery rebates”. As of this writing, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has blocked the increase from the $600 stimulus check to a $2,000 stimulus check. Section 307 of Title III, Continuing the PPP and Other Small Business Support in the Consolidated Appropriations Act states that if a PPP loan is not more than $150,000, it will be forgiven if the eligible recipient submits a certification to the lender with the following information: 1. A description of the number of employees that were retained due to the PPP loan 2. The estimated amount of the PPP loan that was spent on payroll costs 3. The total loan amount No other documentation will need to be provided to the lender. The PPP forgiveness amount also does not have to be reduced by any Economic Injury Disaster Loan advance.

Cataldo is an Estate Planning/Elder Law Attorney, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a Master’s Degree in Taxation. я Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) and Cornucopia Foods partnered to deliver 300-plus Christmas meals to MVES clients.

Malden’s Dan Doherty is there and remembers most of it! Dandy Donuts on Pleasant Street announces that they are now selling “Dairy Freeze” in cones for 15 and 25 cents. On July 8-16, the Lone Ranger will appear at Pleasure Island in Wakefield. By midsummer, the Boston Red Sox have captured the hearts and minds of all New England (and most everybody in Malden) with their thrilling rush to the pennant. Cellar dwellers for the previous 25plus years Dick Williams and his team of “cardiac kids” will go on to change the baseball culture in New England and usher in the era of excellence (for the most part, anyway) that we all enjoy today. Overflow crowds were reported at the Hibernian Hall, the VFW, the American Legion, the Jewish War Veterans (JWV), the Irish American, the East Side AA, the Italian American Citizens Club, the Italian American War Veterans Post, and the DAV Hall for the Sunday pennant-clinching game versus Minnesota in September. Meanwhile, Boston night spots – like Your Father’s Mustache, The Improper Bostonian, The Mad Russian and the Candy Lounge – are reporting large Friday and Saturday night crowds for the game. Born in Malden, 1967: Paul “Quadzilla” DeMayo (rest in peace), world class body-builder. Born in Malden, 1967: Gary DiSarcina, professional baseball player. Interracial marriage is declared constitutional by the Supreme Court in the Loving v. Virginia case. This decision barred Virginia and by implication other states from making interracial marriage a crime. Suffolk Square guy Ed “Mingo” Ames formerly of the Ames Brothers scores a huge International hit with “My Cup Runneth Over.” Principal Miss Inez M. Carter of Beebe Jr. High School at the Beebe Graduation Ceremony gave the “Lions Club Citizen Athlete” to Steven Caiazzo and Irwin Zalko. At the same award ceremony, John “Trixie” Trischitta, Gary Campsmith and Paul Gennetti received a certificate and letter in baseball. In July, diploma recipients at the Rockland Nursery School included Jill Weiner, Mike and Kevin Hannon (brothers of Mary “Ms. Pisa Pizza” Hannon!) and Paul Lussier. “Bewitched,” “The Beverly Hillbillies” and “Hogan’s Heroes” were making people laugh. To this day nobody can figure out how a program about a German POW Camp during World War II could be funny! At Beebe, Judy (the future “Fabulous Judy”) Repucci, Diane Marsinelli and Donna Angelo made the seventh grade honor roll. Israel is fighting for its life as they battle Egyptian forces across the Suez in what will become known as the “Six Day War.” In June, Rabbi Judea B. Miller of Temple Tifereth Israel on Salem Street announced that the Synagogue will hold a special service and prayer for the State of Israel still fighting for its life. Meanwhile, in July a swastika is discovered painted on a brick wall on Holden Street. Mister Sub at 220 Pleasant St. is offering a “Special of the Week” – pizzas (any combo) for $1.25.

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Thursday, December 31, 2020 avvya yavvy en oniorior avvy S ior io iori by Jim Miller What Caregivers Should Know About Medicare Dear Savvy Senior, I am the caregiver for my 81-year-old mother, who recently fell and broke her hip, and have a lot of questions about how original Medicare works and what it covers. Where can I get some help understanding this program? Overwhelmed Caregiver Dear Caregiver, Excellent question! Having a working knowledge of Medicare can help you take full advantage of the coverage and services it provides to ensure your mom receives the best care possible. Here’s what you should know. Medicare Assistance A good starting point to get familiar with Medicare is the offi cial “Medicare & You” handbook that overviews the program. It’s mailed to all benefi ciaries every fall and provides an up-to-date description of all services and benefi ts. You can also see it online at Medicare.gov/medicare-and-you. If you have a particular question, you can call and visit with a Medicare customer service representative at 800-633-4227. Medicare also works closely with State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIP) to provide free health insurance counseling. To fi nd a SHIP counselor in your area visit ShiptaCenter.org or call 877-839-2675. Caregivers also fi nd Medicare’s secure website – MyMedicare. gov – especially useful. After setting up a personal account for your mom, you can view the details of her coverage, track recent health care claims and keep up to date on the preventive services she qualifi es for. Compare Tools Medicare can also help you locate the right health care providers for your mother. At Medicare.gov/care-compare you can fi nd and compare doctors, hospitals, home health agencies, dialysis facilities, inpatient rehab facilities, long-term care hospitals and nursing homes in your mom’s area. What Medicare Covers Medicare can reduce many out-of-pocket medical expenses your mom incurs, but it doesn’t cover everything. Understanding what Medicare does and doesn’t cover can save you time and spare you frustration when navigating the caregiving maze. Here are some key points for caregivers: Besides basic hospital and physician services (which includes telehealth services) and optional prescription drug benefits, Medicare covers home health care too. To qualify, your mom must be homebound, under a physician’s care and in need of part-time skilled nursing care or rehabilitative services like physical therapy. Medicare also helps pay for oxygen, catheters and other medical supplies that a doctor prescribes for home use. The same is true for medically necessary equipment like oxygen machines, wheelchairs and walkers. In addition, Medicare covers skilled care in a nursing home for limited periods – up to 100 days – following hospital stays. But it doesn’t cover long-term stays. Patients who need custodial care (room and board) must pay out of pocket unless they’re eligible for Medicaid or have private long-term care insurance. Medicare pays for hospice care too, for someone with a terminal illness whose doctor expects to live six months or less. The hospice benefi t also includes brief periods of respite care at a hospice facility, hospital or nursing home to give the patient’s caregivers an occasional rest. Besides long-term nursing home stays, original Medicare typically doesn’t cover regular dental care or dentures, regular eye exams or eyeglasses, and hearing exams and hearing aids. Likewise, it won’t pay for nonemergency ambulance trips unless a doctor certifi es they’re medically necessary. To fi nd out what Medicare covers, visit Medicare.gov/coverage and type in the test, item or service you have questions about, or download the Medicare “What’s covered” app in either the App Store or Google Play. Financial Assistance If your mom lives on a limited income, you should check whether she qualifi es for help with prescription drug costs or with other Medicare-related premiums, deductibles and copayments. For help with drug costs, visit SSA.gov/prescriptionhelp or contact Social Security at 800-772-1213 and ask about the “Extra Help Program.” For help with other Medicare costs, go to Medicare. gov or call 800-633-4227 and ask about the “Medicare Savings Programs.” Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ City of Malden Conservation Commission Notice of Public Hearing Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 131, Section 40, Wetlands Protection Act (as amended) of the Massachusetts General Laws that a Hearing of the City Of Malden Conservation Commission will be held on Tuesday, January 5, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom, Hearing of a Request for Determination of Applicability (RDA) for the review of the wetland map(s) along the railroad Right-of-Way (ROW) within the City of Malden as part of the renewal of the five-year Vegetation Management Plan (VMP).

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Thursday, December 31, 2020 Baker announces $668M small business relief package T he Baker-Polito Administration recently launched a $668 million program to provide financial assistance to Massachusetts small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program in part relies on the federal COVID-19 relief bill signed into law on December 27, 2020. The Baker-Polito Administration will soon start releasing millions in new funding to restaurants, retailers and other small businesses throughout the Commonwealth. The Administration announced nearly $49 million in grants through the Massachusetts Growth Capital Corporation (MGCC) COVID-19 Small Business Grant Program to support over 1,158 small businesses. More than 10,000 applicants had sought relief in this grant round. Additional grants will be made available to eligible small businesses through MGCC. The Small Business Grant Program was established in the fall, and currently has a pool of eligible applicants awaiting funding. This additional funding will allow the Administration to award more of those pending applicants. Eligible businesses that already applied to the program, but were not funded due to limited funds available, will be prioritized for funding first and do not need to reapply. The funds will also be used to stand up an additional grant program at the MGCC. This program will target the industries most hard-hit during the pandemic. Eligible industries for the new program include: • Restaurants, bars, caterers • Indoor recreation and entertainment establishments • Gyms and fitness centers • Event-support professionals (photographers, videographers, etc.) • Personal services • Retail The new business relief program would offer grants up to $75,000, but not more than three months’ operating expenses, to be used for employee wage and benefits costs, space-related costs and debt service obligations. The online application portal for the new program will close on Friday, January 15. Awards are expected to be announced in early February. More details on how to apply and eligibility requirements are available at www.empoweringsmallbusiness.org. COUNCILLOR | FROM PAGE 3 Jadeane Sica. “What you have done in leading us for the last three years has been incredible,” Councillor Condon said. “We’ve gone through three City Clerks, a lot of other changes, we’re in the middle of a pandemic, and you’ve held it all together.” “Your leadership through these tumultuous times has been so commendable, you got us through 2020,” Councillor-at-Large Steve Winslow said. City Council President Sica For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net at the end of the meeting showed a slide show of the Council’s accomplishments over 2020, which also drew high marks. As to incoming President Anderson, she said, “This Council needs a steady, experienced hand, someone with an even temperament that can relate the challenges we face,” she said. “The world looks a lot more different than when this year started. I am proud of the work we have done this year, and I believe we have helped set the city up for success. We must continue to have perseverance for the love we all share for Malden.”
