According to reports, 12 residents of fi ve of the six apartments located in the top two fl oors of the building were displaced as a result of the blaze, with one of the units believed to be vacant at the time of the fi re.

Charles grew up in Haiti, but he came to the United States at the age of 18. From there, he attended public high school in Brooklyn, N.Y., and then moved on to Alfred University in Alfred, N.Y. Just fi ve years after his arrival in the United States, he then made a major move when he transferred into Columbia University, of the prestigious Ivy League. After Columbia, he moved on to medical school, although shortly after that, Charles said, he decided to go into teaching and earned his Master’s in Education from Framingham State University. He began his career teaching physics and biology at a high school in Church Point, Louisiana. Charles was not always planning on being a teacher. However, during his college years, one of his teachers got him interested in teaching Biology. He then began working in Brooklyn with “inner city kids, whom people often marginalize and don’t think are successful.” He taught one girl named Amanda who he is “never going to forget”; she passed the High School Regent Exam (the New York equivalent of the MCAS) at the age of 10 with an 86.

Many Malden residents and those in public service have been honored through the years at these events. The keynote speaker for the last luncheon, which was held in 2019, Malden Judge Benjamin Barnes, expressed well what Dr. King was about, why he is honored each year and how Dr. King’s work laid the foundation for social change today. “It’s not only about the struggle. Keep going forward and keep moving forward. We stand on the shoulders of great individuals,” Judge Barnes said. “We have to teach our children to think like King.

Mastrangelo said he feels that being an immigrant who moved to the United States makes Charles “relatable to a lot of our students, not just from Haiti but from any country.” Above all else, Mastrangelo said that he (Charles) is “so calm and kind in his approach to students,” and his interactions are outstanding “because he cares.” Mastrangelo added that Charles is fl uent in four languages and the fact that he was on track to becoming a medical doctor speaks for itself. Charles stated that so far he is very pleased with his Malden High experience. “There’s a great population of students here, and the diversity is amazing,” Charles said. "It’s almost as if there’s something I’m looking for up in the sky, and I’ve found that here.” Charles also said that he loves the structure of the school and the accessibility of all students to available forms of higher learning. He said he believes that it is important that kids have “access to AP classes, honors classes” and that all of the students get the same opportunities. “There are some classes that you walk in, and you see that the discussions that are taking place are getting students ready for college,” Charles said. During his fi rst few weeks, he recalled, an MHS student would routinely check in on him to see how he was doing. Charles said, “It brought tears to my eyes a little bit, because she cared so much.” Charles added that the Malden High student population is “so nice, genuinely nice and respectful,” making MHS a great place to work.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 14, 2022 Page 5 Agero employees grant MVES’ holiday wishes through Giving Tree program C onsumers of Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) received an unexpected but cheerful visit during the holiday season from their care managers, who delivered more than 100 care gift bags full of clothing, linens, games, books and other items they had on their “wish list” – all donated by employees of Agero, a pioneer of the driver assistance industry in Medford. Agero employees have been contributing to the Giving Tree program since 2013, with more than 1,000 personal gifts shopped for and provided by employees to older adults in beautifully wrapped packages with items ranging in price from $20 to $200. The program operates by Agero staff letting MVES know how many gifts they will pledge to shop for each year. Case managers then nominate an older adult served by MVES who they feel needs items for personal use and enjoyment. Since the case managers know the older adults they serve so well, they create a “wish list” of items they know they would like and use. Each wish list is unique to that individual. Employees of Agero then “adopt” and shop for these older adults, collecting items on the list and ultimately fulfi lling their wishes. MVES Resident Services Coordinator Betsy Kantt shared an MVES consumer’s reaction to the gift: “Artie’s Secret Santa gave him a $25 gift card to Market Basket and some chocolates. What was more special; however, were the 12 greeting cards which he received. Santa wrote one for each month,” she said. “Artie opened them all at once and hung them up in his apartment next to the birthday card I gave him in August. He was thrilled to get them! They were the only Christmas cards which he got.” “We were so moved to see the multiple gifts so thoughtfully chosen to brighten the days of older adults in need,” said MVES Director of Development Jenny Vanasse. “My consumer Daniel received gifts this year and was truly touched by the generosity of the staff at Agero,” said MVES Resident Services Coordinator Kerry Kawalski. “He loved everything that he received. With every gift that he opened his smile grew bigger. Daniel wanted me to make sure that the folks at Agero know how grateful he is for everything.” Agero is not just giving to MVES during the holidays; the organization has sponsored the annual MVES Spring for Independence fundraiser for more than a decade. This coming spring, Agero will be a Lead Sponsor of this event at $20,000. They have also donated more than 230 bags of nonperishable food and grocery gift cards since 2010.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 14, 2022 Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday – Billy Nutile, 1929-2021 By Peter F. Levine M alden High School, 1946 – William Nutile, 57 Oakland St: “A bashful, cute little Trade School scholar with a real sharp wave in his hair is Bill. Has a yen for a certain girl called ‘Cuddles!’ Has proven his ability as the Trade School’s senior class and Student Council secretary. Plans to become a cartoonist.” Billy Nutile passed away in 2021 at age 92 years lived. I never got a chance to say goodbye. I will miss his emails. I will miss his wit. I will miss his total recall of years gone by. I will miss his love of Malden and his personal playground growing up, Edgeworth. We never actually met but Billy ran the same streets of Edgeworth as I did as a child only 50 years earlier. Here’s a little something I published back a couple of years ago. Rest in peace, Billy. “Sherman, set the Wayback Machine to...” He hasn’t jumped off the Medford Street Bridge into the Malden River on a warm summer’s night in many decades. Probably hasn’t worn Chuck Taylors in just as long. Or picked up a freshly killed chicken for dinner at Freddy’s Market on Pearl Street lately. But in his heart (and mind’s eye) – Billy Nutile, who turned 90 years young this past January 15 and has called Maryland home for many years, has never strayed very far from his beloved hometown of Malden. Now residing in the birthplace of Tallulah Bankhead, Chestertown, Md., Billy graduated MHS the year Law Offices of Terrence W.

Like many youngsters over the years growing up in Malden/ Edgeworth, he worked on and off for Freddie Spadafora at his restaurant when it was located at the corner of Highland Avenue and Medford Street opposite (the long gone) Timmy DiLea’s Drug Store. He trained as an upholsterer at the Warren Carpet Cleaning Company located on Commercial Street behind the Strand Theater, then as an apprentice ‘tin knocker’ at the Brunell Sheet Metal shop on Charles Street, long since torn down as part of the Charles Street Urban Renewal of the ’60s. Uncle Sam beckoned after high school: five years in the military as an M.P. with the U.S. Forces in Austria before discharging in Feb 1952. Billy married into Edgeworth royalty in 1954 with nuptials to Evelyn Ann Perry. Ms. Perry was the stepdaughter of Joseph Scibelli of the famous “Edgeworth Scibellis!” In 1966 – “following the money,” as they say – Billy was commandeered by Servomation Corporation in Baltimore, Md., and quickly became Vice President. In 1970, tired of “working for the man,” he started his own food service company in Annapolis and ran it until he sold in 1994. Billy retired far ed in ’46. He and close friend Larry (pronounced ‘Laurie’) Scibelli, both “pursued” her through high school. Divergent paths were taken by all. College, the military, careers and the passage of time separated these childhood pals. According to ‘sources’ Camille passed away William Nutile from his roots in Malden on a piece of property he purchased from a farmer and his daughter who owned 450 acres of farmland and a 250-acre Hanoverian horse farm located in Chestertown on the eastern shore of Maryland. Billy and his wife of 64 years recently sold their home and will be settling down in a condo on the western shore of Maryland, closer to their four sons. “About his high school picture from the ‘Maldonian’: ‘Cuddles’ was Billy’s nickname for classmate Camille Santoro who lived on Noble Street in the Linden area and who also graduat‘many years ago’ but not before achieving a modicum of success in Boston in ‘local radio and TV.’ Larry passed away at 86 years young in 2015 at his home on Marco Island in Naples, Fla. Most of Billy’s classmates have passed on. He also lost track of many classmates and Malden friends from back in the day but still has family in Malden. And has made a friend for life in me. I find his tales of ‘Malden Back in the Day’ priceless. “Here is another fascinating look into Malden’s past from the man with supernatural memory recall.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 14, 2022 Page 7 MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6 into an old ‘tin lizzy’ as they use to call old cars back then, delivering Christmas presents to relatives up in the New Hampshire area. At the last house we visited, only my Uncle Al went in to drop off the gifts. Everyone was tired by then and it was snowing quite a bit with a long way to get home. When Uncle Al came out, he told everyone he had just heard on the radio that the country was at war with Japan. Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor in a sneak attack earlier that day. I remember a lot of discussion about this at fi rst, then grandma and my Aunt Florence started crying and soon, dead silence. Or very hushed tones from the men all the rest of the way home. As a youngster, I had no idea how my life was going to change over the next few years. Growing up in the early years of the 2nd World War life was a special experience by itself along with the other everyday happenings. Such as the time I had scarlet fever and the house on Oakland Street was ‘quarantined.’ A big red sign was posted on the front door, and no one was allowed in or out except the doctor, a visiting nurse, my uncle, and my mother who could go to work. Later because of the war, in school, we practiced evacuating out into the hallways at Beebe Jr. High by sitting against the walls on the fl oor. I guess in the teachers’ naiveté that was how to handle a potential air raid in the early years. I remember being fi ngerprinted. A questionable eff ort at best. But this was all new. Everyone was caught with their ‘pants down’ you might say. Everyone! I remember we all said daily prayers for the men in the services. Back then, you ‘prayed’ in school. We prayed for President Roosevelt too and ‘patriotism’ was accepted as a matter of fact. Everyone was proud to be an American and to do all they could for the war eff ort. I mean, everyone! There was no left or right. No Democrat or Republican. We were all Americans on just one quest. Me and my classmates bought ‘Savings Stamps’ and mounted them in booklets which when full would represent $18.75, the cost of a $25 ‘War Bond.’ I went to ‘Bond Rallies’ in Malden Square where movie actors came to help the war effort by drumming up ‘War Bond’ sales. But the newest phenomenon, the ‘air raid drills’ and the excitement – the loud, shrieking noise of the alarms. Which later became an everyday occurrence when the fi re department took them over after the war for the 9 o’clock curfew alerting the teenagers to get home and off the streets. Your heartbeat would start to race always wondering if this one is real. It didn’t take long for us kids to fi gure out when one was due though. During the summer, when we would go to Revere Beach, we would see big military boats laying anchor off shore with more and more of them being added each day until there would be a ‘blackout air raid drill’ one night. The next day we would see that all the ships had left the harbor on their way overseas, in convoy. Soon we could get to predict a new black out air raid drill coming ourselves. President Roosevelt used to have ‘Fireside Chats’ on the radio, which everyone tuned in to listen. Everyone believed what the President told them, and everyone loved President Roosevelt. I sacrifi ced for the war eff ort along with all my friends and neighbors and lived with rationing. After food rationing took place, you needed ration books to buy a pair of new shoes at Thom McCanns, to buy meat at Freddy Brandano’s on Pearl Street, and for butter and sugar and I think gasoline was rationed at like maybe three gallons a week. I helped grow ‘Victory Gardens.’ Food was in such demand for the armed forces it left a shortage in the markets. I also remember how we collected scrap iron in bins the city erected. When full the city workers would come and empty them, donating the scrap metal to the war eff ort. I recall the ‘Brown Outs’ where all the streetlights had bonnets put on them, so the light shown only directly down to the street. The automobiles had the top half of the headlights painted black to keep the lights low and the factory windows at Converse Rubber and other factories were all painted black. This was called a ‘Brown Out.’ Then there were the ‘Black Outs’ when they would have air raids. The Air Raid Wardens would make sure lights were out in all the houses or at least could not be seen from the street. I learned then that the glow of a cigarette could be seen from the air by enemy bombers. Seems like there was always at least one plane flying overhead in the rays of the search lights during these air raid drills. Practicing, I guess. I remember how the girls couldn’t get ‘nylon stockings.’ All the nylon was being used to build parachutes. How they painted a line up the back of their leg to look like a seam over the leg paint giving the impression of stockings. Teen age clubs became popular during the war with the big bands playing the newest pop songs then but are the classics of today. I used to go dancing with most of my friends at least three times a week. We worked on and perfected our ‘jitterbug.’ To be continued...” Vaccine equity project seeks volunteers for Everett and Malden T he Vaccine Equity and Access Program (VEAP) of Social Capital Inc. (SCI) is seeking members of the Everett and Malden communities to serve as VEAP Leaders to help promote local vaccination clinics this winter. VEAP is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)–funded project designed to increase public confi dence in the COVID-19 and fl u vaccines. SCI’s VEAP focuses on training trusted community members to encourage people in their network to get vaccinated. Through this project, SCI is working with community leaders to reach people who are at the highest risk of COVID-19. SCI recently expanded its VEAP initiative to serve Everett and Malden, as both communities have been identifi ed by the Department of Public Health as having need for more vaccine equity outreach work. In particular, SCI is seeking to recruit people interested in a VEAP leadership role to encourage participation in the series of upcoming vaccine clinics that have been scheduled. Training and a stipend are available for VEAP leaders. Those tapped for this role will be asked to educate family, friends and neighbors about the vaccines and promote vaccination opportunities at local clinics. Other outreach activities conducted by the leaders will include flier distribution, attending community events with proper COVID-19 precautions, and sharing information about the clinics through social media. SCI is particularly interested in recruiting VEAP leaders who can speak one or more of the following languages: Spanish, Portuguese and Haitian Creole.

Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 14, 2022 FIRE | FROM PAGE 1 Side and East Side Fire Stations arrived. A third alarm was called less than 30 minutes after the second. Chief Sullivan, in a televised news report, said the cold conditions made it tough for firefighters to get water on the flames. At the time of the fire, the temperature was sub-freezing in the low 20s, dipping into the high teens as the night wore on. The water from the hoses and ladder pipes used to fight the blaze soon led to icing conditions in the area around the large building, leading to, at times, treacherous footing for the firefighters. “Anytime that you’re [using] water in sub-freezing temperatures, you’re going to run into icing conditions,” Chief Sullivan, who commanded operations at the fire scene, said in a televised report on the fire, “so you’ve got to be sure of your footing. The ice takes over everything.” Those fighting the blaze included local first responders, as well as mutual aid firefighters from seven other local communities. Mutual aid response brought firefighters from Boston, Chelsea, Everett, Lynn, Medford, Melrose and Revere to assist Malden Fire Department, eiMalden Fire Chief William Sullivan was at the scene of the three-alarm fire on Monday.

All streets leading to or at the fire scene – Grove Street, Glenwood Street, Washington Street and Winter Street (from northern Main Street, Malden) – were closed off and detoured from the time the fire started until about 8:00 p.m., after the icy streets were salted and treated. Despite it being the height of the evening commute, access to and from the nearby Oak Grove Station was severely impacted due to the fire. Other impacts included a Firefighters battled this blaze from all angles on Monday at the three-alarm Grove Street fire.

Power was out for a period of time in both the Oak Grove neighborhood and some streets in the nearby North Medford area, off of Highland Avenue. According to a televised online news report on WCVB-TV, one resident of the building, Brian Pham, whose parents own Oak Grove Laundry Center, said he was walking home from the adjacent train station when he saw multiple fire trucks outside of the building. “I basically sprinted over here knowing that my parents are working. Luckily, they were already out,” Pham said in a televised news report. “I have never seen anything like that. I was just in shock.” The Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Services team from Lynn responded to the scene, providing snacks, water, blankets and other care on a frigid night. Representatives from the American Red Cross were also on hand at the fire scene and reported they would procure shelter for those Malden residents displaced by the blaze. City officials also indicated they were ready to help, including Malden Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy and Ward 3 Councillor Amanda Linehan, whose ward includes the site of the fire. Supt. Noriega-Murphy mentioned the fire at Monday night’s Malden School Committee meeting and said any resources available to Malden Public Schools would be at the ready to help any residents affected by the fire, particularly if any students and their families lived there. Councillor Linehan, via Twitter and Facebook social media, alerted Ward 3 and all Malden residents to the fire shortly after it began and also of the icy Water came from hoses at all angles from the many pieces of fire apparatus, including those from seven other communities battling Monday’s three-alarm building fire on Grove Street.

She also thanked Malden Fire, Malden Police, the mutual aid communities and the Malden Department of Public Works (DPW) for all the combined efforts to keep the neighborhood safe, including the DPW crews’ extensive salting and sanding of the streets heavily iced up due to the water at the scene. Councillor Linehan mentioned the fire and its aftermath the next evening at the first-of-the-year Malden City Council meeting, again thanking all city agencies and departments involved, and noting she would be following up with residents of the burned out building to evaluate their needs and what Ward 3 and city resources might be available and needed to assist them. Several other Councillors, including City Council President Craig Spadafora, Ward 6 Councillor Stephen Winslow and Ward 7 Councillor Chris Simonelli, among others, also expressed their concern for the victims of the fire and said they were ready to help. There was no estimate or the damage to the building at the time of The Advocate’s press deadline, but there appeared to be heavy extensive damage the day after the fire. The latest assessed value of the building was over $900,000.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 14, 2022 Page 13 GBL NOTEBOOK: Former MHS star Isaiah Likely gets 2022 NFL Combine invite after standout Coastal Carolina career Rated a top tight end heading to 2022 NFL draft; played three seasons at MHS, one at EHS; RHS swimmers off to impressive 4-2 start By Justin McAllister M alden High School may soon be able to say it has produced another NFL player if all goes as planned for Coastal Carolina senior tight end Isaiah Likely. The speedy, 6-4, 225, pass-catching machine, a former longtime Malden resident, now of Cambridge, has had an illustrious college career for the Coastal Chanticleers and just this week received an invitation to participate in the National Football League Combine. This year’s combine will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. from March 1-7. Likely had another year of eligibility at Coastal Carolina, despite being a senior, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which threw a monkey wrench into most college football programs over these past two seasons. Likely announced on his Twitter page last week (@DaGorilla4) that he was forgoing his final year of college football eligibility and was declaring for the NFL 2022 draft. In a statement on Twitter, he thanked his family, teammates and fans for their support. “I am excited for the road ahead and the challenges of attaining my ultimate goals in professional football,” Likely wrote in part. “I can’t wait for you all to be there with me for the ride.” He is projected as high as the second round in this year’s NFL Draft and possibly a late firstround pick, anywhere from 2940, in many mock drafts. If Likely, as expected, is drafted by the NFL and makes a roster for the 2022 NFL campaign, he would become the third Malden High player to move on the NFL in the past 28 years, and the first offensive skill player. Dan Jones, a 1988 Malden High graduate who played for the University of Maine, played three seasons in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, from 1993-1995. A 6-7, 298 offensive tackle, he appeared in 35 NFL games for Cincinnati, starting five. Breno Giacomini, a 2005 Malden High School graduate, was drafted in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers. He went on to have the longest NFL career of any playFormer Malden High School football standout Isaiah Likely, who played five seasons of Pop Warner Football and then three Varsity seasons at Malden High School, has been invited to the 2022 NFL Combine.

Likely is projecting to be the highest-drafted player in Malden High history, as well. The second-team All-American grew up in Malden and played eight seasons in Malden, five with Malden Pop Warner football from 2008-2013. Likely then played three seasons at Malden High School, from 20142016, catching over 900 yards receiving and 14 touchdowns for the Golden Tornados in 2016, earning Greater Boston League All-Star honors for the second straight year. In 2015, Likely played a key role in Malden’s 22-19 victory over Everett which gave Head Coach Joe Pappagallo’s Golden Tornadoes team its first GBL Championship in 27 years. At Malden High, Coach Pappagallo – and for his final season, Malden Head Coach Bill Manchester – and their staffs worked dil~ Legal Notice ~ Notice of Funding Availability, Public Hearings and Public Comment Period for CDBG and HOME Program Year 2022 (City Fiscal Year 2023) Funding and Annual Action Plan The City of Malden will conduct public hearings regarding the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and the North Suburban Consortium (NSC)’s Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program Year 2022 (City Fiscal Year 2023) funding.

(Courtesy Photo/MHS Blue and Gold/Brandon Wong) T Malden High Choral Arts Society resumes its Annual Winter Concert Popular event returns to Jenkins Auditorium for first time since 2019 due to pandemic By Luella Harding he Malden High Choral Arts Society recently held its first annual Winter Concert since 2019, as it was held virtually last year. The concert, which was held in-person at Malden High School’s Jenkins Auditorium, was divided into three sections, Mixed Chorus, Madrigal Singers and the Concert Choir, with each section performing a variety of different holiday-themed songs. Concert Choir Singer and Senior Krista Micalizzi said one of the biggest challenges this year was that the performers were required to wear masks during the concert. Choir Director and Malden High longtime educator Todd Cole agreed that the mandated mask-wearing due to Malden municipal COVID-19 protocol was a challenge, but added it was exciting for his singers to be able to perform in person this year and that the evening was a major success. Concert Choir Singer and Senior Lucas Williams said he felt as though the buildup to the concert was much more nerve-racking than the actual concert itself. “Obviously there were times during the concert where I felt nervous because I had to make sure I had my parts right so my MHS senior James Holland sings at the Annual Winter Concert.

(Courtesy Photo/MHS Blue and Gold/Brandon Wong) section could hear me… but the only nervousness I saw in other people were memorizing parts, like ‘Oh Holy Night,’ or the pitch we had to sing for certain songs,” Williams said. In addition to wearing masks, Micalizzi said that the song “Silent Night” was somewhat challenging since it had been so long since they had performed the time-honored audience favorite. “I think we were able to pull through in the end with ‘Silent Night.’ It was something we all remembered and were able to click with," she said. Cole said some of his choir singers were somewhat nervous before the concert, but it was balanced with a visible sense of excitement, with all of the individual groups. “I noticed an excitement that we actually get to perform again for an au

A big highlight for Williams was the shining moment he was able to experience during his solo performance of “I Saw Three Ships.” Williams said that he was glad he could have a solo as “you’re typically not chosen for them if you’re not a senior,” and “even though it was really short I was really happy that I did it before I left for college.” Concert Choir and Madrigals Singer Senior Mateus Flaherty has been in choir for two years and was excited to finally be able to do his first solo as well for “The Chanukah Song: We Are Lights” along with Senior Yusra Tafaroui. He said he was nervous beforehand, but “proud of the whole concert,” adding that “it all came together in the end.” Cole added, “I did not notice nerves so much, not even with my ninth-graders. I think that they were so prepared that they were excited to do it.” Part of the fun this year for Cole was that along with his chief task of leading the choir through conducting and cue-ing performers, he was also able to join the Madrigals Singers in their performance of “Fum Fum Fum“ and “Carol of the Bells.” “I was really proud of the kids,” Cole said. “I think that they did a wonderful job, especially coming off of a year of almost no choral singing.” Although it went by fast, “all of the songs came together beautifully in the end,” he added, resulting in a successful night for everyone.

The Patriots defeated Shawsheen Valley Tech in a non-league meet to start the season, 97-71, and have earned wins over Greater Boston League teams Lynn Classical (89-75), Somerville (87-73) and Lynn English (76-54). Revere’s two setbacks have both been to Malden, falling 93-75 in the first meeting and 90-77 this week. The Patriots have had a lot of individual success stories, including senior captain Mohamed Benzerdjeb, who was first in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke against Classical, first in the 200 IM against Shawsheen, and first in the 100 butterfly against Malden.

Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 14, 2022 ~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ Ward 6 resident requests public input for Maplewood Square Dear Editor, I am writing in regards to your article in last week’s Malden Advocate “City of Malden, MVRCS in Maplewood Square”. I am questioning why the residents of ward 6 were not notified by the councillor-at-large, now councillor of ward 6 Stephen Winslow, as to any input to this decision and why no residents of ward 6 are on the advisory committee. These are major decisions which affect Maplewood Square, one of the crown Jewels of Malden. Input from ward 6 residents sitting in on these future meetings is extremely important to the future of our city and our ward 6. Please Councillor Winslow, three or four ward 6 residents are needed to participate in this process. It is in the best interest of our ward. Signed, Kevin Larson 34 yr. resident of ward 6 59 yr. resident of Malden ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI21P0657EA Estate of: Shisen Zhu Also known as: Shi Sen Zhu Date of Death: 10/27/2020 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL ADJUDICATION To all interested persons: A Petition for Formal Adjudication of Intestacy and Appointment of Personal Representative has been filed by Jinyan Yu of Malden, MA and Jiemin Zhu of Malden, MA requesting that the Court enter a formal Decree and Order and for such other relief as requested in the Petition.

DECRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE January 14, 2022 Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen With today’s edition, we begin coverage of the 2022 Massachusetts legislative session with our weekly Beacon Hill Roll Call report. This iconic feature is a clear and concise compilation of the voting records of local state representatives and state senators at the State House. Beacon Hill Roll Call provides an unbiased summary of bills and amendments, arguments from floor debate on both sides of the issue and each legislator’s vote or lack of vote on the matter. This information gives readers an opportunity to monitor their elected officials’ actions on Beacon Hill. Many bills are reported on in their early stages, giving readers the opportunity to contact their legislators and express an opinion prior to the measure being brought up for final action. The feature “Also Up on Beacon Hill” informs readers of other important matters at the Statehouse. Beacon Hill Roll Call is written and provided by Bob Katzen, a former Boston radio talk show host at WRKO, WMEX, WITS and WMRE.

He was inducted into the New England Newspaper and Press Association (NENPA) Hall of Fame in 2019. Fun Fact: Bob invented the “Bagel Route” when he was 10 years old.

The House and Senate held brief sessions with little of the ceremonial pageantry that usually accompanies the beginning of a new year on Beacon Hill. The Massachusetts Statehouse is the last state capitol building in the nation that is still completely closed to the public, and in addition, most legislators and staff members continue to work and vote remotely amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. There were no roll calls in the House and Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call begins a recap of the 2021 session. Here are some of the bills that were approved by the House and Senate and signed into law by Gov. Charlie Baker in the 2021 session. Most bills that were still pending at the end of the 2021 are carried over into 2022 in the same status they had in 2021. $48.1 BILLION FISCAL 2022 BUDGET (H 4002) House 160-0, Senate 40-0, approved and Gov. Charlie Baker on July 16, 2021 signed into law, after vetoing several items, a $48.1 billion fiscal 2022 state budget for the fiscal year that began on July 1. The budget was based on new estimates that tax collections in fiscal year 2022 will increase by more than $4.2 billion above the amount originally predicted by the governor, the House and the Senate. In light of the pandemic, elected officials had for months braced themselves for a substantial decrease in tax revenues and a cut in some programs and/or even a tax increase. The new estimates also led to the cancellation of a planned withdrawal from the state’s Rainy Day Fund of at least $1.5 billion. Officials also project a $1.1 billion deposit into the fund which will drive its balance to $5.8 billion by the end of fiscal year 2022. The budget also cancels a plan to raise fees on Uber and Lyft rides in order to generate new money for cities and towns, the MBTA and other infrastructure projects. Other provisions include a $350 million fund that could be used in future years to help cover the cost of the $1.5 billion school funding reform law passed in 2019; permanently extending the state’s tax credit for film production companies in Massachusetts; and a new law, based on a bill filed by Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford) that will provide victims of violent crime and human trafficking enhanced protections. “[This budget] … upholds our Senate values, charts a hopeful path forward for our commonwealth and more importantly reflects our priorities,” said Senate Ways and Means chair Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport). “We maintain fiscal responsibility and ensure our commonwealth maintains healthy reserves for years to come. It safeguards the health and wellness of our most vulnerable populations and new supports for children and families.” Although she ultimately voted for the budget, Sen. Diana DiZoglio (D-Methuen) said that she objected to the fact that legislators were given only a few hours to read the 434-page bill before voting on it. The budget was released late on a Thursday night and was voted on Friday afternoon. DiZoglio said that positioning members to take a vote on something they did not get adequate time to review is not acceptable. “If we keep doing this over and over again, it’s not going to magically become acceptable,” she said. “The fact that we didn’t get even a day to review this is very disappointing. But what’s more disappointing … is the fact that those in our communities who have a stake in what happens in the bill before us, those it will impact most—our schools, our elderly populations, those who are coming from positions of powerlessness, those folks, probably many of them, still don't even know that we’re taking this bill up. And yet we continue to call what happens in this chamber part of the democratic process.” (A “Yes” vote is for the budget.) Rep. Paul DonatoYes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason LewisYes BHRC | SEE PAGE 19 Malden man pleads guilty to holding stolen trailers By Christopher Roberson R obert Gramolini, 63, of Malden, pleaded guilty, on January 4, to having four stolen trailers in his possession. According to federal law enforcement officials, video surveillance from May 16, 2020, showed Gramolini stealing a black trailer from a business in Hampton, N.H. Police recovered the trailer four months later at a storage facility 15 miles away in Brentwood, N.H. The facility’s owner told police that Gramolini was renting space from him. While searching Gramolini’s space, police found three other trailers that were reported stolen from Massachusetts. Although Gramolini confessed to stealing the Hampton trailer, he had “varying stories” regarding the three trailers from Massachusetts. Gramolini even went so far as to tell police that he found one of them on “the side of the road.” “I am grateful to the law enforcement officers whose hard work put an end to this defendant’s criminal activities and held him accountable for his unlawful conduct,” said John Farley, U.S. attorney for the District of New Hampshire. “We work each day with our law enforcement partners to protect residents of the Granite State from crime and to seek justice for crime victims.” According to New Hampshire law, Gramolini could face up to 15 years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 26.
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 14, 2022 Page 17 OBITUARIES Richard Don Cremone Of Wakefield passed awa y peacefully on Wednesday, December 29, 2021 at the age of 71. Raised in Malden, Richie was a proud Edgeworthian. From a young age, he earned a living cooking, his life's passion. Initially, he worked as a milkman with his father at Sunnyhurst Farms, but soon found his calling at Tricca’s, Anthony’s, and Brandano’s restaurants, where he built a reputation as a hardworking and talented chef whose food brought people together and buttons apart. He also experienced great joy and satisfaction catering many events throughout the years. Richie was the proud owner of Cremones’ Restaurant in Malden. The fulfillment of a lifelong dream, the restaurant was a special place where everyone truly knew your name. It’s impossible to recount the number of friendships, loves, and good times that were made at Cremones’ and will be cherished throughout the years. After closing the restaurant, Richie worked for several years at the Middlesex Sheriff’s office as the Director of Food Service in Cambridge. It was through cooking that Richie expressed his creativity and demonstrated his love for family and friends. His delicious soups, stuffed artichokes, Abruzzi sauce, and, of course, skiffyskaf happily filled the bellies of countless people over the years. Richie was a graduate of Malden High School’s Class of 1967. He served in the Army National Guard’s 182nd Infantry Regiment as a mess steward. Although he and his wife raised their daughters in Wakefield and enjoyed innumerable good times with their dear "neighborhood" friends, his heart was always in Malden. Richie was a longtime member of the American Legion and Italian American Citizens Club. Cooking braciole and sausages at St. Rocco’s every summer was one of his favorite activities and he also loved golfing in several leagues and being a champion bocce player. Some of his charitable activities included fundraisers for Children’s Hospital of Boston and the Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/ Advocate.news.ma Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Richie was the son of the late Joseph and Eleanor (Clivio) Cremone and the brother of Robert Cremone of Woburn, his late twin, Dr. Joseph Cremone, Jr. of Wakefield, and Janet Schweitzer and her husband Allen of Reading. He was also a dear cousin of the late William Condon of Middleton and Paul Condon of Malden. He was married for 48 years to Toni Marie (Cole) and together they raised two daughters, Julie Ann (Whitson) and Lindsay (Cammarata), who will never fully recover from the loss of their devoted and doting father. Richie was dearly loved by his sonsin-law, John Whitson (of Wakefield) and Jason Cammarata (of Melrose). His greatest joy was being Papa to MollyBeth, Johnny, Toni Marie, Ellie, Josie and JJ and they will forever hold his love for them in their hearts. Richie was also well-loved by many nieces, nephews, and cherished friends. The Cremone family would like to thank the many doctors, nurses, and therapists that cared for Richie over the years, especially the Medical ICU team at Tufts Medical Center for their outstanding care and compassion in the last days of his life. Carolyn A. (Barthelmes) Keohan Passed away on January 10, 2022. She was 84 years old. Born in Everett, Carolyn lived in Malden. She was a past president of the Malden Emblem Club and a member of the Saugus Elks. Carolyn was preceded in death by her late husband Ronald J. Keohan. She was the loving mother of Donald MacMullin and his wife Ellen of Middleton, Catherine MacMullin of Malden, Diane Masiel of Malden, R. Jean Barker and her husband Robert Lynn, Ronald Keohan of Everett and his late wife Marie and the late David and James Keohan. Carolyn was the dear sister of Michael Barthelmes and his wife Claude and the late Francis Barthelmes. She is also survived by 15 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 14, 2022 Page 19 BHRC | FROM PAGE20 $400 MILLION FOR NEW SOLDIERS’ HOME IN HOLYOKE (H 3770) House 160-0, Senate 40-0, approved and on May 20, 2021 Gov. Baker signed into law a bill authorizing $400 million to fund the construction of a new Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke. The push to construct the new home follows the deaths of 77 veteran residents in 2020 as a result of a COVID-19 outbreak at the current facility. The bill also provides $200 million to increase geographic equity and accessibility of long-term care services for Bay State veterans with a focus on areas that are not primarily served by the soldiers’ homes in Chelsea or Holyoke. “Rebuilding the soldiers’ home in Holyoke and increasing access to services for our veterans is necessary and long overdue, especially after tragically losing many residents of the soldiers’ home to a COVID-19 outbreak last year,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington). “This funding will ensure that the commonwealth’s veterans are met with the services that they deserve and that address their unique and changing needs.” “As the senator for the city of Holyoke and the Soldiers’ Home, I know what this new home means to so many in our community,” said Sen. John Velis (D-Westfi eld), Senate chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Aff airs. “This has truly been a long and emotional process that started well before this legislation was fi rst fi led. From the very start, families and veterans gave me a very clear message: ‘Get this done.’ We could not let them down and I am proud to say that we have not let them down … The funding authorized in this bill will ensure that the future residents of the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home and veterans across our commonwealth receive the care with honor and dignity that they have earned in service to our nation.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Writing your dad’s obituary would be a nice way for you to honor him and sum up his life, not to mention avoiding any possible mistakes that sometimes occur when obituaries are hurriedly written at the time of death. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips and tools to help you write it. Contact the Newspaper Before you start writing your dad’s obituary, your fi rst step is to check with the newspaper you want it to run in. Some newspapers have specifi c style guidelines or restrictions on length, some only accept obituaries directly from funeral homes, and some only publish obituaries written by newspaper staff members. If your newspaper accepts family-written obits, fi nd out if they have a template to guide you, or check with your dad’s chosen funeral provider. Most funeral homes provide forms for basic information and will write the full obituary for you as part of the services they provide. You also need to be aware that most newspapers charge by the word, line or column inch to publish an obituary, so your cost will vary depending on your newspaper’s rate and the length of your obit – most range between 200 and 600 words. Also note that many newspapers off er free public service death listings too, which only include the name of the person who died along with the date and location of death and brief details about the funeral or memorial service. Obituary Contents Depending on how detailed you want to be, the most basic information in an obituary usually would include your dad’s full name (and nickname if relevant), age, date of birth, date of death, where he was living when he died, signifi cant other (alive or dead), and details of the funeral service (public or private). If public, include the date, time, and location of service. Other relevant information you may also want to include: cause of death (optional); place of birth and his parents’ names; his other survivors including his children, other relatives, friends and pets and where they live; family members who preceded his death; high school and colleges he attended and degrees earned; his work history and military service; his hobbies, accomplishments and any awards he received; his church or religious affi liations; any clubs, civic and fraternal organizations he was members of; and any charities he feels strongly about that he would like people to donate to either in addition to or in lieu of fl owers or other gifts. You’ll also need to include a photo of your dad. Need Help? If you need some help writing your dad’s obituary there are free online resources you can turn to like Legacy.com, which provides tips and articles at Legacy.com/advice/guide-to-writing-an-obituary. Or consider the 25-page e-book “Writing an Obituary in Four Easy Steps” available at DearPersonObits.com for $5. This guide will help you gather the details of your dad’s life so you can write an obituary that will refl ect his personality and story. Online Memorials Many families today also choose to post their loved one’s obituaries online and create digital memorials. Some good sites that offer this are MyKeeper.com, GatheringUs.com and EverLoved.com, which provide a central location where family and friends can visit to share stories, memories and photos to celebrate your dad’s life. Or, if your dad used Facebook, you could also turn his profi le into a memorial (you’ll need to show proof of death) where family and friends can visit and share anytime.

Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “Our communities should feel that their infrastructure is reliable and making it easier for them to go back to their normal activities.” This legislation recognizes that in addition to the backlog of local roads in need of repair, there is an unmet need for local projects that benefi t all modes of transportation,” said Rep. Bill Straus (D-Mattapoisett), House chair of the Committee on Transportation. “And I am pleased that the Legislature was able to provide municipal assistance for road work and expanded funding for towns and cities to advance public transit and reduce congestion.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

House 157-0, Senate 40-0, approved and Gov. Baker signed into law on April 1, 2022 a bill that supporters said will stabilize the state’s unemployment system and provide targeted tax relief to employers and workers. Provisions exclude Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans from being taxed by the state in 2020; exclude $10,200 of unemployment compensation received by an individual with a household income of less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level from gross income for tax purposes; and create a mechanism ensuring all employees will be able to access 40 hours of paid sick time for any COVID-related issues, including testing positive, needing to quarantine or caring for a loved one. Other provisions waive penalties on unemployment insurance taxes; freeze unemployment insurance rates paid by employers and extend the state’s tax fi ling deadline from April 15, 2021 to May 17, 2021. Businesses would also face a new surcharge, in the form of an excise tax on employee wages, through December 2022 to help repay interest due “The House and Senate enacted legislation to make important updates to our state’s Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund, which has provided an economic lifeline for so many families in need,” said Rep. Josh Cutler (D-Duxbury), House chair of the Committee on Labor and Workforce Development. “Our actions today will prevent a sharp increase in rates on our businesses, help stabilize the fund over the longer term, provide tax relief to lower income jobseekers and ensure that needed jobless benefi ts continue to fl ow.” “Massachusetts employers faced a signifi cant increase in their unemployment insurance costs, with employers’ experience rates scheduled to jump from $539 to $858 per worker this year,” said Republican House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “This legislation mitigates that increase by freezing the rate schedule. Restaurants and small businesses, already struggling fi nancially during the COVID-19 pandemic, secured federal Paycheck Protection Program loans to keep their businesses afl oat and save employees’ jobs during the pandemic faced a collecREAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 NGUYEN, KIEU A TRAN, KAREN H YU, XINYU NADEEM, UMAR H TSERING, GADEN TRAN, TRINH T SALEH, GEORGE JIANG, EMERALD BUYER2 TRAN, KAREN H NGUYEN, KIEU A WU, JINYAN ZATOON, GHULAM TSOMO, FNO NGODUP SELLER1 SELLER2 IQBAL, MUSARRAT LUO, PATTY 103 GILMAN STREET RT MUI, MIKE FB 19 CLARK MALDEN LLC WILMINGTON SVGS FUND SOC tive tax bill of $150 million.

Workers need Emergency Paid Sick Time.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul DonatoYes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason LewisYes 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 the 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 fi led. 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 January 3-7, the House met for a total of 34 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 16 minutes. Mon. Jan. 3 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. Senate 11:08 a.m. to 11:16 a.m. Tues.
