"Many of us have lost sleep over this tragedy," said Councillor at large Debbie DeMaria. "No matter what your political beliefs are or what party you belong to. this was an atrocity and we have tell our community we condemn this action." Councillor DeMaria was the initial sponsor of a formal resolution of the Council that was supported by colleagues Steve Winslow (at large) and Amanda Linehan (Ward 3 as co-sponsors. By the end of the discussion on the resolution, all of the Councillors had joined on as co-sponsors. The resolution read: "Resolve: We the Malden City Council, strongly condemn the violence and atrocious acts held on January 6, 2021 in Washington D.C. Further, we vow to respectfully continue our work for the greater good of residents and our city, Malden, Massachusetts." Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O'Malley said, "This is not a partisan issue; it is an issue we must all stand for." He then read a lengthy statement from social media by former Gov.

Levine T he last couple of Malden: Today, Tomorrow and Yesterdays were the print media 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 “Mikey liked it!” Back by popular demand: “Malden in 1967: Part 2”: Malden in 1966 was designated as an “All American City.” All American banners were fl ying 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: On July 10, Ruffino “Ruffy” Mugica playing for the Malden Legion baseball team struck out nine batters, pitched a three hitter, and had two of the Legions three hits as they beat Everett 3-1. Ruffi no was chosen to the prestigious Hearst Sandlot team the week before. Ruff y lives in Vegas these days and produces shows at various casinos.

They surmise that basketball reigns as the most popular summer sport before even baseball. They also note that Park Department Foreman Angelo Nardone has explained that the reason the city’s parks look so shabby is because the city has only ten power lawn mowers and that nine of the ten are inoperable. Lillian’s dad Angelo was a colorful character and from what I remember was always blunt and to the point. “It is said in Malden”.........(July 7) that Barney Kahn has returned from a vacation trip to Mount Washington, N.H. “It is said in Malden”.........that Councilor James Conway has invited his Council colleagues to the annual dance to be run by his ‘Conway Associates’ at the Revlon Room in Linden (now home to a Walgreens I believe and formerly owned by the DiVencentis family). “It is said in Malden”.........that the ‘Royal Crownsmen’ of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, will march in the annual Edgeworth Fourth of July Parade (this Fourth of July Parade missed its organizer and benefactor Ward 2 Councilor Billy Callahan due to the passing of his mother) In June, during the Malden Recreational Junior Division Spring Hoop competition, the Bears beat the Panthers 28-22 behind John Finn’s ten points. Jimmy “Father of Marty” Cahill had eight points for the losers. In Central Little League action at Roosevelt Park Tommy Hoff - man fi red a no-hitter and batted his team, the Tigers, to an 8-1 win over the Browns. Tommy (rest in peace) was also an exceptional hoopster with one of the sweetest jumpers around. In American League action at Trafton Park (the late great) Jerry Robbins fi red a one hitter and struck out 12 batters as his Yankees beat back the Red Sox 13-0. Jerry did not issue any walks and at one point struck out seven straight. In the past four games he has K’d 40 batters. The Yanks were led by Billy Doyle and Kenny Barchard who would later go on to play with Jerry in the Babe Ruth League for the Stars under Mgr. Bob Rosano and coaches Don Garren and Jim French. Jerry put up one of the fi nest BRL seasons ever as a 14-yearold for the Stars with an 8-1 record (if my memory serves me correctly).

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 15, 2021 Page 5 Representative Ultrino releases end of year constituent services report End of year report details services provided to constituents between August and December of 2020 S tate Representative Steven Ultrino recently released a report detailing his office’s work with constituents between August and December of 2020. In these five months, Representative Ultrino and staff responded to 316 individual constituent inquiries and requests for assistance. The plurality of these inquiries and requests for assistance came in November. This was the peak of an upward trend which began in August with 20 calls and continued through September with October (79) and November (93) before a slight decline in December (55). Ultrino and his staff connected 292 constituents (92percent) with the resources they needed to resolve their questions and get the assistance they needed, while they continue to work with the remaining 24 constituents to ensure they get the resources they need. Nearly two-thirds (65.9 percent) of constituents’ requests for assistance were related to unemployment, while housing (16.7 percent), food (7.6 percent), and Steven Ultrino State Representative transportation (5.3 percent) were the next most requested forms of assistance, respectively. The remaining 4.5 percent of requests were related to veterans’ issues, local issues, and healthcare. Constituent calls on issues in the legislature addressed a diverse array of topics with most calls (33.3 percent) addressing the fiscal year 2021 state budget, followed by police and criminal justice reform (13.8 percent), reproductive justice (10.6 percent), and civil and voting rights (9.5 percent) as constituents’ highest priorities. The remaining calls addressed legislation on education, housing, taxation, healthcare and transportation. “I’m so grateful to all the members of our community who put their trust in my office to help with a variety of issues, some very sensitive and difficult to discuss. My staff and I see this community as family, and like any family, we’re always here to offer our support” said Ultrino.“I’m also incredibly thankful for our partners in the community without whom we couldn’t do this work. It would be impossible to name all these people and organizations on a single page, but I want to give a particular thanks to Action for Boston Community Development, the Malden Redevelopment Authority, Malden Neighbors Helping Neighbors, and Portal to Hope for their partnership during this difficult year.” The full report is available on Ultrino’s website at representativeultrino.com as well as on his social media accounts: @ UltrinoForRep on Facebook, @ RepSteveUltrino on Twitteand @ RepUltrino on Instragram.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 15, 2021 Page 7 Sheriff Koutoujian completes term leading Massachusetts Sheriffs’ Association M iddlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian has officially completed his tenure as president of the Massachusetts Sheriff s’ Association (MSA) after leading the organization for the past three years. The tenure of Koutoujian, who was elected in October 2017, was originally slated to conclude at the end of 2019. MSA presidents traditionally do not serve longer than a single twoyear term, but Sheriff Koutoujian was asked to serve an additional year by his colleagues in order to synchronize the MSA presidential term with the legislature’s session. “I want to thank my colleagues for the faith they placed in me as president. I especially thank outgoing Vice President Sheriff Chris Donelan for his thoughtful partnership over the past three years,” said Koutoujian. “During our tenure we worked closely with the legislature and the Baker Administration on some of the most important legislation impacting the criminal justice system in decades. Sheriff s do this job because we want to help those we serve; I am proud to have helped advance that goal over the last three years.” Koutoujian has been succeeded by Suff olk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins as President. Donelan has been succeeded by Hampden County Sheriff Nicholas Cocchi as Vice President. “As Sheriffs Tompkins and Cocchi begin their tenure, I look forward to working with them to build upon the foundation of collaboration and professionalism that have been the hallmark Peter Koutoujian Middlesex County Sheriff of MSA’s approach to enhancing public safety and improving outcomes for those in our custody, their families and our communities,” said Koutoujian. “Over his tenure as MSA President, Sheriff Koutoujian helped us to shepherd through a number of changes that impacted not only our collective organization as a whole, but our individual county operations as well,” said Tompkins. “We are all thankful for his service to the MSA and appreciative of his great eff orts to advance our mission. And, as I take the baton, I look forward to expanding upon those efforts alongside Sheriff Cocchi and MSA Executive Director Carrie Hill as we continue to elevate the work of the MSA.” During his term as president, the MSA worked with State Senator William Brownsberger and State Representative Claire Cronin on the historic 2018 criminal justice reform bill. The bill included changes to restrictive housing within jails and prisons, created a special commission to study the prevention of suicide among correction offi cer,; expressly authorized the establishment of specialized housing units for individuals ages 18–24 (which the Middlesex Sheriff ’s Offi ce had previously opened) and created a mechanism for medical parole, among other key provisions. Medical parole had been a top priority for Koutoujian since 2013 when he began working with State Senator Patricia Jehlen on passage. Under his leadership, the MSA also worked with the Baker-Polito Administration, State Senator Cindy Friedman and State Representative Denise Garlick on the passage and implementation of legislation establishing a landmark Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) pilot program involving seven sheriff s’ offi ces. Under the law, those entering custody in one of those seven counties on an FDA-approved MAT regimen can continue that regimen unless determined otherwise by a qualifi ed addiction specialist. Sentenced inmates not on a verifi ed MAT regimen at the time of their commitment may also be evaluated for participation 30 days prior to their scheduled release. For the past year, Koutoujian served concurrently as president of both MSA and the Major County Sheriffs of America (MCSA). As MCSA President, Koutoujian leads an association comprised of sheriffs of over 100 of the nation’s most populous counties. He will serve as MCSA President through the end of 2021. Thirty-five legislators urge Baker to prioritize low-income schools for vaccines, pool testing S tate Representative Steven Ultrino and 34 of his colleagues in the legislature are calling upon the Baker administration to prioritize low-income schools for vaccines and pool testing in order to ensure the quickest return to in-person learning in communities that need it most. While remote learning has changed life for every student and family, it is evident that the consequences and negative effects are disproportionately felt in low-income districts. Led by State Representative Andy Vargas and State Senator Adam Gomez, the 35 legislators signed a letter to Governor Baker, Secretary Sudders, and Secretary Peyser, asking for “a deliberate prioritization in the application and marketing of both pool testing and vaccine deployment” in low-income school districts. “With vaccines for all K-12 staff on the horizon and the recent announcement of pool testing resources available, we hope the administration can prioritize low-income school districts fi rst. Several studies and evidence from our constituents have shown how challenging remote learning has been for low-income schools and families,” said Vargas. “There is no question that lower income communities have been hit the hardest since the pandemic began,” said Gomez.“This letter makes clear, through the support of my colleagues, that the Administration should prioritize the needs of low-income school districts for vaccines and pool testing, particularly in communities where COVID-19 cases are at their highest.” “Communities like Malden have suff ered more than most during the ongoing pandemic, that’s as true for our students as it is for the broader community” said Ultrino. “It simply makes sense to prioritize vaccines and pool testing in school districts like ours where online learning has been difficult due to systemic barriers between students and reliable technology and internet connections. I hope that Governor Baker will honor his commitment to put the communities hurting the most at the front of the line for this vaccine by ensuring that low-income school districts are appropriately prioritized.” The Baker administration has placed K-12 workers in Phase 2 of the vaccine deployment plan, but it has not specifi ed which K-12 schools would come fi rst. Additionally, the administration announced pool testing resources last week and funding available on a fi rst come fi rst serve basis. Legislators would like to see both off ered and deployed in low-income districts fi rst. Malden Lions Club announces clothing drive T he Malden Lions Club is having a clothing drive. They accept clothing, shoes, pocketbooks, etc. Items may be dropped off at Dr. Deborah Wayne’s offi ce, which is located at 702 Salem St. in Maplewood Square.                                        

Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 15, 2021 North Shore Black Women’s Annual MLK Luncheon canceled due to COVID-19 Scholarships will still be granted; donations are welcome By Steve Freker I t is the most well-known event in this region that honors the most familiar icon of the civil rights movement. But this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 28th Annual North Shore Black Women’s Association, Inc. (NSBWA) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. luncheon has been cancelled. Every year on about the second Saturday in January, two days before the national Martin Luther King Day holiday, the NSBWA holds its annual luncheon, the first coming in 1993. For many years, the luncheon, which customarily draws a packed house at Anthony’s in Malden, has been the premier MLK event in the region. Despite the cancellation of the luncheon, the North Shore Black Women’s Association is still accepting donations and will be awarding scholarships to students locally and in the region who are enrolled as college students. The deadline for applications passed in December, but more information on the scholarship program can be obtained on the website at www.nsbwa.org. The North Shore Black Women’s Association was formed in West Medford in the late 1980s by Iodiah Henry and Johnnie Knight-Wilder with a mission of promoting the values, character and accomplishments of the Black community in this area, as well as committing to provide scholarship support to students who were bettering themselves through the pursuit of a college education. The first Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. luncheon was held in January 1993, and it has become a much-anticipated tradition in Malden and around the region. Many Malden residents and those in public service have been honored through the years at these events. The keynote speaker for the 2019 luncheon, 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. Don’t put any limits on how you think, or what people can say, or what you can do. We have the ability in us to do anything we want and travel down any roads we want.” Shannon Anderson serves as NSBWA Board President this year. The other officers include Vice President Joy Bailey, Secretary Gladys Rivera Rogers, Treasurer Barbara Kahn, Assistant Treasurer Jeanette Corbin and additional Board members Marion Desmond, Sheila Kipnis and Joanne Stroud-Lebeau. Other NSBWA members are Tana Tselpis, Mickey Levine and Robin Lewis. Malden City Council President Neal Anderson (Ward 7) has served as Master of Ceremonies at the event for many years. In a message posted on its website, NSBWA President Anderson stated, “We will continue to grant scholarships and at a later date we will post the scholarship recipients. The NSBWA, Inc. has been immensely proud to provide students who want to continue with their education an opportunity to obtain additional funding…We hope to have fundraising events in 2021. As always, any donations would be greatly appreciated in any denomination to help assist in this endeavor.” Donations can be made to: NSBWA, Inc., PO Box 631, Malden, MA 02148. Also, the NSBWA can be contacted via email at nsbwainc@gmail.com. “We look forward to celebrating the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in 2022 at our annual MLK Jr. Luncheon. Please join us in keeping the North Shore Black Women’s Association Inc. going by viewing us on Facebook and of course our website at www.nsbwa.org,” the NSBWA Board states on its website.

Typically, this event sells out each year and raises tens of thousands of dollars for older adults and those living with disabilities, but due to COVID-19 protocols, there will be no show. But despite the pandemic, ABC Home Healthcare Professionals feel that it is still important, if not more important during these trying times, to support our neighbors in need. Jeannette Sheehan and Joan Lepore, her daughter, founders and owners of ABC Home Healthcare Professionals, see the ability to live independently as critical to many older adults’ well-being. With seniors being most vulnerable to COVID-19, they want to make sure they are being taken care of. “Everyone should have the opportunity to live in their communities for as long as possible in a safe and supportive environment,” they said. “That’s just one of the many reasons we’re so proud to continue to be connected with Bellyful of Laughs and with Mystic Valley Elder Services, even during the COVID-19 pandemic.” ABC Home Healthcare Professionals is a full-service home healthcare organization, family owned and operated by Nurse Practitioners and Certified Geriatric Care Managers. Their home health aides, homemakers, companions, caregivers, nurses, and hospice professionals are dedicated to providing the highest quality and most comprehensive private home care services in northeastern Massachusetts. In collaboration with MVES and other community organizations, ABC assists older adults in maintaining their independence within the comfort of their own homes. “Sadly, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot gather as usual for our January Bellyful of Laughs comedy night fundraiser, which typically attracts more than 400 donors and friends of Mystic Valley Elder Services who gather for a night of comedy, raffles, buffet dinner and good times in support of critical programs and services for people in need who live in our 11-community region,” said MVES CEO Daniel O’Leary. “But it is wonderful to see ABC Home Healthcare Professionals join together this year with us to support such an important cause. Mystic Valley is lucky to have fantastic, supportive friends.” Special thanks to ABC Home Healthcare Professionals for their lead sponsorship of this Un-Event, as well as supporting sponsors, including Brookline Bank, TRIO Community Meals and Melrose Cooperative Bank Foundation as well as Natale Company & SafetyCare. While we will miss gathering together this January to laugh for a good cause, there are still opportunities to help older adults and adults living with disabilities to stay independent!

Included has been the introduction of districtwide programs centering on social and racial equity awareness training for staff and students, implementation and use of a restorative justice model, and a wide range of programs for students and staff featuring dialogue, focus groups and support on the issues of racial and social justice. As for the search process, it has been at a brisk pace since it was first begun this past November. “We’ve received numerous resumes so far: well into the double-digits in resumes submitted,” said Spadafora, who along with Ward 5 School Committee Member Adam Weldai is serving as co-coordinator of the superintendent search process. “The people at the Collins Center are very happy with the quality of the applicants we have received so far.” CHARGED | FROM PAGE 1 sault with intent to murder, assault and battery by discharge of a firearm, possession of a large capacity firearm, and possession of ammunition in connection with the shooting of the Malden teen. Suspect ordered held without bail; dangerousness hearing will be held Malden District Court Judge Emily Karstetter ordered Rogadi held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing set for next week. The Everett man was remanded to the custody of the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office in one of their facilities. On December 29, at approximately 7:03 p.m., Malden Police responded to a report of a shooting that had occurred on Bowdoin Street. Upon arrival, officers located Jaden BritoWhite suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The preliminary investigation suggested the victim was standing outside of his apartment building when two males allegedly approached him and shot him. As the result of an around-the-clock investigation, police were able to gather surveillance video from the area that allegedly showed a Chevy Malibu with a distinct paint color in the area at the time of the shooting. Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office subsequently located the vehicle while it was being driven by It has been just over six weeks since the School Committee officially hired and set to work the Edward J. Collins Center for Public Management of UMass Boston to oversee the superintendent search. The initial timeline the School Committee established in November is ambitious, with today’s deadline for applications followed by several formal meetings with the search committee and Collins Center personnel over the next four to six weeks. Interviews of candidates will be held in March, according to the initial timeline, with the goal of offering a candidate the position and hiring in early April. Weldai said at least two focus group forums are being planned in the month for School Committee members to discuss qualities sought from the candidates. He noted that some tenets were recently added to the official job description for the next Malden Public Schools superintendent, including: “A leader committed to social jusRogadi. The car was seized and a search warrant for the car was obtained. Report: gun similar to one used in shooting found in car driven by suspect According to reports, during the execution of the search warrant, police located a loaded 9mm handgun consistent with the type of gun used in the fatal shooting. The serial number plate located underneath the gun barrel was blank. As the serial number was absent, and not obliterated, investigators believe the weapon may be a “ghost gun.” These guns are often manufactured from firearm parts kits, often lack identifying marks and are made to be untraceable. During a further review of the evidence and surveillance video collected in the area of the shooting, investigators were allegedly able to identify Rogadi as one of the individuals involved in the shooting. Authorities said Rogadi was arrested Tuesday night without incident in Cambridge by Massachusetts State Police, Cambridge Police and Malden Police. The investigation into this matter, including the identity of the second individual involved and the motive, is still open and ongoing. This case is being investigated by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, Massachusetts State Police assigned to that office and the Malden Police Department. The prosecutors assigned to this case are Clarence Brown and Julie Kunkel. The Victim Witness Advocate is Anne Foley. tice through advancing a culture of anti-racism in our curriculum and climate; implementing district strategies conducive to recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce; and fostering welcoming environments that honor an individual’s race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, language, and sexual orientation.” Weldai also said a webpage has been added to the Malden Public Schools website, titled “Malden Public Schools Superintendent Search.” It will contain updated information on the search’s progress, status and other pertinent information, he said. The MPS website can be accessed at www.maldenps.org. The search committee, at 15 members, is both large and diverse. “It is an extremely diverse [search] committee,” Spadafora said, “and we wanted it this way so our community members can have a voice in the process.” “We’re bringing in voices to the search that have not been heard before,” Weldai said. “It is unlike search committees from the past.” Weldai said an effort was made to make this search committee more school district-oriented. For instance, there are three parents of schoolchildren on the committee. There are actually five, including Spadafora, and Ferryway K-8 teacher Jennifer Hedrington, both of whom are parents of children attending school in the district. Hedrington was recently honored as “Teacher of the Year” in Massachusetts by the Mass. Dept. of Elementary and Secondary Education. “I commend [Ward 1 Councillor] Peg Crowe. She gave up her seat on the committee so another parent could be represented,” Weldai said. Spadafora said she is confident the calendar pressure can be met. The Collins Center and lead person Ray Shurtleff and the search committee will screen the candidates for the search committee, interviews will be held and the School Committee will have the final vote on the finalists and eventual new superintendent. “It’s a tight timeline, but I see us on track,” Spadafora said. “They [the search committee] are ready to hit the ground running.” A.B.C.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 15, 2021 A wild night indeed: the time BC football beat Alabama at Sullivan Stadium A Forrest Gump-like remembrance of that Flutie Era win on Nov. 25, 1983 By Steve Freker W hen you look at Alabama Crimson Tide football these days, it is not simply a matter of the biblical David and Goliath matchup when an opponent ventures onto its path in most years. Nick Saban has transformed ’Bama back into a college football National Championship factory, with its modest recent title just a few days old after the 2020-21 Tide annihilated an exceptionally good Ohio State team Monday night in New Orleans, a 52-24 wipeout win. No, they don’t win it every year, it just seems that way. We do know they are always the favorite, and they have been for probably every single game they’ve stepped on the field the past 11 or 12 seasons, at least since 2009 when they won their fi rst National Championship since the Bear Bryant days at ’Bama. The latest title Monday night got me to thinking, and a fantastic memory jogged back into the front of my mind. Does anyone recall the fi rst and only time Alabama football came north of the Mason-Dixon Line to play Boston College on Eagle home turf... and LOST?! I do. It was on the evening of November 25, 1983, a Friday night and the night after Thanksgiving... And I Was There! That’s right. In one of my many “Forrest Gump-like” appearances, I was in attendance at that windy, rain-swept, dreary weather matchup in good old Sullivan Stadium (where the practice bubble for Gillette Stadium now sits), the original home of the New England Patriots. A very memorable “I Was There” moment I’ve actually had many “I Was There” moments in Boston (and some national) sports history in terms of attendance. But those are stories for another day. Although, just for context, yes, “I Was There” in December 1982, just under a year earlier (when it was still called “Schaefer Stadium”) for the notorious Patriots-Dolphins 3-0 “snow plow” game, too!) This one certainly was up there in importance, for sure – with Cowboy Jack Bicknell’s BC Eagles on one side and future Patriots assistant coach Ray Perkins leading Alabama on the other sideline; this was a national level game at the time. CBS televised in nationally, a big deal in college in those days, nothing like it is today. Doug Flutie was in the midst of building his legend in his junior year when he led Boston College (BC) football to a comeback 20-13, upset win over visiting #13-ranked Alabama at then-Sullivan Stadium in Foxborough, one of the biggest wins in BC history. (Courtesy Photo) When #13-ranked Alabama came to Foxborough in 1983 to play #15-ranked Boston College, its fi rst-year head coach Ray Perkins, above, had mighty big shoes to fi ll since he was replacing the most iconic and winningest coach in Crimson Tide history, Bear Bryant.

When it opened in 1971, it was christened “Schaefer Stadium” by its original naming rights sponsor, Schaefer Beer. (Courtesy Photo) Talk about pressure and a target on his back – Perkins was in his fi rst year as Alabama head coach – succeeding to that point the most legendary college football head coach in history, Bear Bryant, who had won more national titles than any coach ever, six of them. Alabama had come out of the gate on fi re in 1983, winning four straight and rising as high as #3 in the national polls before a pair of tough losses to then #3 Penn State and #11 Tennessee knocked them back down them down to #18. But Perkins and the Tide roared back with three straight wins over three more Top 20 opponents to climb back to #13. Alabama that year was like many in the old-school collegiate days, playing at monster strength of schedule. How many teams these days play an entire season of ranked, Top 20 opponents as the Tide did in 1983? At 7-2 coming into the BC game, Alabama was a big favorite on the road “up North” over the Eagles.

Page 12 Oil Burner Service • Oil Filter • Cleaning • Tune-Up $140 Call 781-324-2770 IRS DEBT I RS offers in compromise aren’t always the best way to eliminate IRS debt. The IRS does not have an unlimited amount of time to collect unpaid taxes owed by taxpayers. Oftentimes, taxpayers unknowingly and needlessly give the IRS more time to collect the tax. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 6502, the IRS only has 10 years from the date of assessment to collect the unpaid tax. This is called the Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED). It is important to keep in mind prior to filing for bankruptcy, filing an offer in compromise, filing for innocent spouse relief or delaying the collection process by filing a collection due process appeal thar you should keep the following in mind: a. Be confident in the probability of success b. That success will result in less debt than waiting for the CSED Once you file for an Offer in Compromise, that will extend the CSED for the time the Offer in Compromise is open plus an additional 30 days. Offers in Compromise can be open for anywhere between six months and one year. With Covid-19, the time period is almost certain to be longer. Most Offers in Compromise fail anyway. The CSED is tolled while the Offer is pending. The tolling ends once the Offer is accepted. Furthermore, the taxpayer must remain current for a period of five years on all tax filings and payments. Making a payment plan in order to get the IRS off your back does not extend the CSED. Filing for bankruptcy extends the CSED plus an additional six months after the bankruptcy is finalized. If the bankruptcy fails due to the tax returns not being timely filed, then you have simply given the IRS more time within with to collect the tax. You can file for bankruptcy for a federal income tax for any tax return that was due to be filed more than three years prior to the bankruptcy filing. Keep in mind that the original tax returns themselves must have been filed on a timely basis. The CSED is not extended if you enter into an installment agreement with the IRS. It is not extended while it is requested and while it is in place. Also be careful when applying for innocent spouse relief. If both husband and wife sign off on a tax return, they are both liable for the taxes owed. To be eligible for innocent spouse relief, the following conditions apply: 1. There was a joint income tax return filed for the year that resulted in the disputed debt 2. There was a substantial understatement of tax that was caused by an erroneous item on the return or the negligence of one spouse 3. The “innocent” spouse didn’t know or didn’t have reason to know there was a substantial underpayment of the tax liability 4. It would be inequitable or unreasonable to hold the spouse liable for the tax liability The problem is that filing for innocent spouse relief extends the CSED. If the CSED isn’t far off, you might be better off not filing for such relief. Remember: know the date of assessment and realize the IRS has only 10 years to collect that debt before you take any one of these courses of action. Joseph D.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 15, 2021 AUDIT | FROM PAGE 1 It was the same in the Malden Public Schools, where just over 1,000 students of its total population of around 6,200 were receiving special education services last spring and continuing to receive such services this school year. All of these students were in the fully remote learning program from March 13, 2020, until the end of last school year in June. This school year, about 200 of the highest needs students returned to in-person learning this past October and will begin again on Tuesday, January 19, as previously planned. The other 80 percent of special education/IEP students will remain in remote learning for the time being, due to either parental choice or existing COVID-19 pandemic concerns. Special Education audit was requested Several Malden School Committee members expressed concerns late last spring about the quality and quantity of services being delivered by the Malden Public Schools to its special education students. These inquiries were echoed by members of the Malden Special Education Parent Action Committee (SEPAC) and were similar to questions posed by parents and officials in many districts statewide and nationwide. The premise for the questions was similar as well, due to obvious issues arising from attempting to replicate in-person learning techniques and practices to students, particularly in the cases where students are high-need and are physically and/or intellectually challenged. At a May meeting, Ward 7 School Committee Member Michelle Luong called for a directed, in-house audit of special education services delivered, or missed, for Malden students as well as an explanation of how any issues arising from the remote learning model could be addressed. In the meantime, in addition to the challenges posed by remote learning, the Special Education Department underwent a change in its leadership when Assistant Superintendent Michael Wood, who oversaw special education, unexpectedly announced his resignation in mid-June. New Assistant Superintendent MacDonald appointed A new Assistant Superintendent, Pamela MacDonald, was appointed by Supt. John Oteri in August, and one of her immediate tasks was compiling the requested audit. On Monday night, at the regular January School Committee meeting, Assistant Supt. MacDonald presented the results of the special education services audit. MacDonald said efforts were made for several months to contact parents of special education students and ask them survey questions about last spring’s initial COVID-19-fueled remote learning model as well as other questions on the learning plans in place for this school year. The complete results of the survey and Special Education Audit Presentation is available for review on the district website, www.maldenps.org. Go to the Resources Tab and then to Student Services Office. There is also a separate website for Student Services available at https://sites.google.com/maldenps.org/maldenstudentservices/home. Nearly 550 families responded to the survey, representing 54 percent of those contacted, which MacDonald said was a positive number, considering the contacts were “cold calls” by email, primarily. She added that just under 20 percent of the parental contact emails on the students’ records were incorrect, primarily due to changes left unreported to the school district. Responses were encouraging, MacDonald said Macdonald said many of the responses were encouraging, in that 61 percent of those responding indicated they received all the services outlined in their remote learning plan and the percentage rose to nearly 80 percent when the responses included “most of services” received. Other questions asked which specific services families believed were missing or lacking, and MacDonald said steps have already been taken to address them. The most common answer for services lacking or not received were for “academic support” or “speech and language therapy”; both areas were cited by 70 percent-plus of the respondents who answered on lacking/missing services. MacDonald reported that several new speech and language therapists have been hired by the district for this school year and a private, state-of-the-art tele-therapy company has also been contracted by the Malden Public Schools to enhance academic support resources. The Assistant Superintendent also noted the Malden district has been one of just 20 statewide to be included in a new IEP program management pilot system coordinated by the state Department of Secondary and Elementary Education (DESE), which she said will “greatly enhance tracking and management of students’ programs” in addition to what is already in place. The new IEP pilot program is geared to urban districts with lower to middle income demographics, like the Malden Public Schools. Luong: It is important we continue to track progress School Committee Member Luong had asked “What is the temperature check?” for determining where students stood as to their academic and therapeutic status and how any lost progress could be restored. As for future steps before the end of this school year, MacDonald said she and her staff are working to set up a program where additional instruction in both academics and therapy can be provided to assist special education students who may have regressed to be able to reclaim their progress with “compensatory services.” This would be delivered during vacation weeks in February and April and possibly on Saturdays. “We have some students in front of screens five to six hours a day. It’s a hard ask to have them stay on longer at the end of a school day. That is why we would offer the alternative times and days,” MacDonald said. “We aren’t going to do it [provide extra learning opportunities] just to do it. We want it to be meaningful for kids. We are determining who needs new services and who needs compensatory services.” Luong called the presentation “very informative” and said she would continue to monitor the situation with her colleagues. “It would be a good idea to continue assessments such as these on a regular basis, at least once a year,” she said. “It is critical that we make sure our special education students receive the services they and their families need.” Ward 5 School Committee Member Adam Weldai, who has long been a special education activist on the board, along with Ward 3’s Jennifer Spadafora, said he appreciated receiving the report and noted it was a two-sided situation when MacDonald came on board in her post in late-August. “It was great to get a fresh set of eyes on these issues and she [MacDonald] was not expecting this [audit] coming her way at the start either,” Weldai said. “We have to assist these students as much as we can and make sure we continue providing services they require to progress and succeed.”

Page 14 avvya yavvy en oniorior avvy S ior io iori by Jim Miller Is Social Security Income Taxable? Dear Savvy Senior, What tips can you recommend for making a bathroom seniorfriendly? My 78-year-old mother has mobility problems and fell getting out of the bathtub last month. I’d like to modify her bathroom with some safety features that can help keep her safe. Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, Great question! Because more accidents and injuries happen in the bathroom than any other room in the house, this is a very important room to modify, especially for seniors with mobility or balance problems. Depending on your mom’s needs and budget, here are some simple tips and product recommendations that can make her bathroom safer and easier to use. Floor: To avoid slipping, a simple fi x is to get non-skid bath rugs for the fl oors. Or if you want to put in a new fl oor get slip-resistant tiles, rubber or vinyl fl ooring, or install wall-to-wall carpeting. Lights: Good lighting is also very important, so install the highest wattage bulbs allowed for your mom’s bathroom fi xtures and get a plug-in nightlight that automatically turns on when the room gets dark. Bathtub/shower: To make bathing safer, purchase a rubber suction-grip mat, or put down adhesive nonskid tape on the tub/ shower fl oor. And have a carpenter install grab bars in and around the tub/shower for support. If your mom uses a shower curtain, install a screw or boltmounted curtain rod, versus a tension-mounted rod, so that if she loses her balance and grabs the shower curtain the rod won’t spring loose. For easier access and safer bathing, consider getting your mom a shower or bathtub chair so she can bathe from a seated position. In addition, you should also have a handheld, adjustable-height showerhead installed that makes chair bathing easier. If your mom has the budget for it, another good option is to install a curb-less shower or a walk-in-bathtub. Curb-less showers have no threshold to step over, and come with a built-in seat, grab bars, slip resistant fl oors and an adjustable handheld showerhead. While walk-in tubs have a door in front that provides a much lower threshold to step over than a standard tub. They also have a built-in seat, handrails and a slip resistant bottom, and some have therapeutic features like whirlpool water jets and/or bubble massage air jets. Curb-less showers and walk-in-tubs run anywhere between $2,500 and $10,000 installed. Toilet: Most standard toilets are around 15 inches high and can be an issue for taller seniors with arthritis, back, hip or knee problems. If your mom has trouble getting on or off the toilet, a simple solution is to purchase a raised toilet seat that clamps to the toilet bowl, and/or purchase toilet safety rails that sit on each side of the seat for support. Or, you can install a new ADA compliant “comfort height” toilet that is 16-to-19 inches high. Faucets: If your mom has twist handles on the sink, bathtub or shower faucets, consider replacing them with lever handle faucets, or with a touch, motion or digital smart faucet. They’re easier to operate, especially if she has hand arthritis or gripping problems. Also note that it only takes 130-degree water to scald someone, so turn her hot water heater down to 120 degrees. Doorway: If your mom needs a wider bathroom entrance to accommodate a walker or wheelchair, an inexpensive solution is to install some swing clear off set hinges on the door which will expand the doorway an additional two inches. Emergency assistance: As a safety precaution, you should also consider purchasing a voice-enabled medical alert system like Get Safe (GetSafe.com) for her bathroom. This device would let her call for help by simple voice command, or by pushing a button or pulling a cord. You can fi nd all of these suggested products at either medical supply stores, pharmacies, big-box stores, home improvement stores, hardware and plumbing supply stores, as well as online. 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. THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 15, 2021 SPORTS | FROM PAGE 10 It was the best start in years for BC football BC came in at 8-2, its best start in years as Bicknell and the Eagles were experiencing the fi rst wave of “Flutie Fever.” BC had played only one ranked opponent that season and lost, 27-17, to #12 West Virginia. But this was Alabama. A perennial national title contender under Coach Bryant and Coach Perkins was expected to stay that course. Future Heisman Trophy winner and quarterback Doug Flutie, leading BC in his junior year season, was quickly building a following for the surprisingly #15-ranked BC Eagles and for football fans like me, it was like this: To go watch the University of Alabama Crimson Tide come to town and play a local team like Boston College was like getting a chance to witness a piece of history. When I found out I was getting a free ticket, courtesy of Coach Bicknell himself and the BC football program, it was like getting a chance to go see that history live. We got to see Flutie... and Godzilla, too Forget about David and Goliath, this was about seeing Doug Flutie in the fl esh. And Godzilla, too. How did these tickets materialize? Well, right place, right time always wins. Throw in a 1972 Chevy Impala, mint condition, with those big, roomy seats, and we were good to go. On November 25, 1983, a kid named Steve Monaco had one day earlier just completed an excellent varsity football season as the starting varsity quarterback for Head Coach Paul Finn’s Malden High School (MHS) Golden Tornadoes football team. Monaco was a steady-under-pressure fi eld general with a rocket arm who had already begun to attract the attention of college scouts, despite it just being his sophomore season. Just 36 hours earlier, Monaco had directed a brilliant comeback attempt in the 96th Annual Malden-Medford Thanksgiving Game, only to see the Tornadoes fall, 25-14. Despite the loss, the 15-year-old Monaco was sensational, staring down a 25-0 halftime defi cit at windy, frigid Hormel Stadium and completing 18 of 21 passes for 177 yards and two TDs. I was an assistant coach, just my second season of many on Coach Finn’s football staff ; we all had visions of what lay ahead for this kid, who would go on to set records and be one of the best Tornadoes signal-callers of all time. A high school sophomore already on the map Games like that had already put Monaco on the map, and about a week earlier Cowboy Jack and the Eagles had invited a passel of local high school prospects, including Monaco, to come see what was arguably the most anticipated BC home football game in its history at the time. Since Monaco wanted to take two of his MHS football buddies to the game, Moose Gennette and Jake McGrath, who had been on the receiving end of many of Monaco’s passes the day before, there left one more ticket to be had. “Thank you very much,” I said, “I’ll drive,” as we loaded up the Impala and headed down 95-South to go see Godzilla and try and see what Flutie Fever felt like in person! Despite the horrendous weather, with wind and rain drizzling at the beginning and then whipping up stronger and stronger like an orchestral storm, the game lived up to its billing...if you were a BC fan. An Alabama fan? An utter disaster. The Crimson Tide was supposed to mop up the fl oor with the lowly Eagles, who had somehow surreptitiously snuck into the Top 20. First half all tied at 6-6, a disaster for Alabama The fi rst half was a deadlock, tied at 6-6. The rain, wind and snow had been a steady threecourse, sloppy serving of weather that football fans and players all swear they love, but most of them are fl at-out liars on that one. Obviously, being from Malden, we had brought neither umbrellas, proper rain gear nor decent footwear, except Monaco, who swore by work boots even at that young age. For all of us, it was plastic trash bags all around, belay the ponchos, with holes ripped open to poke our heads through, of course. For the Eagles, it was not “Flutie Magic” that ruled the night – it was the BC defense. Leading the way for BC was middle linebacker Steve DeOssie, a senior captain who simply ate the Crimson Tide for dinner, one of the best games of his senior year. Alabama was stopped at the BC two-yard-line on one fi rst-half drive, then at the BC one-yard line in another deep drive. It had to settle for fi eld goals of 20 and 28 yards for a 6-0 lead. (An aside: I actually knew DeOssie at the time, having met him when he played in the Shriner’s High School Football All-Star Game in 1980 with my younger brother, Gary. The two became good friends, having both been born in Charlestown, and they stayed in touch. They both went on to be college football captains, DeOssie at BC, after a great high school career at now gone Don Bosco, and Gary a three-year starting tight end at UMass Amherst. DeOssie went on to a 12-year NFL career and is now an analyst of the present-day Patriots. My brother got some professional football off ers from the then fl edgling USFL, but he opted to go start earning a paycheck and became a career corrections offi cer.) Back to the game: Flutie took his team 66 yards in the closing minutes of the half to a fourthdown, one-yard touchdown dive by Steve Strachan to make it 6-6. But kicker Kevin Snow missed two chances at the extra point – on the fi rst miss Alabama was penalized – and the score was tied at intermission. The weather continued to be incredibly bad. Let the record show that over 58,000 tickets were sold for this game, a near sellout. But the place was, maybe, just over half full at kickoff . Thousands more fl ed the wicked weather at halftime. When asked about the game at the time, Flutie said in one published report, “It was so bad that when you came out of the game after not moving the ball you were almost glad because you had a chance to get warm. That sounds ridiculous, but it’s true.” A weird night got weirder: “The Big Blackout” A weird and crazy night then got a little weirder, and a little crazier. Then came “The Big Blackout” just before the second half began. The Sullivan Stadium lights went out just before the second half was to begin. It was later reported that the nationally televised CBS picture transmission went out, too, although the commentators, Lindsey Nelson and Jack Snow, continued the play-by-play audio. But they kept playing the game! The game had started at 1:30 p.m., but now it was well after 3:00 and heading to 4:00 as the second half started. Daylight wasn’t burning, to quote John Wayne from “The Cowboys,” it was running away and hiding, it being late November. With about 4:30 left in the third quarter, no times were exact because of the absence of a scoreboard; a punt by Boston College’s John Mihalik from midfi eld was blocked by Paul Tripoli. Anthony Smiley got the ball at the Alabama 42, picked up several blockers and went all the way to give the Crimson Tide a 13-6 lead. That must have been what jumpstarted the “Fever.” Flutie had been not much of a factor up until the fourth quarter. That changed in the fourth quarter as Flutie took over and along with two fourth-quarter touchdowns by fullback Bob Biestek, one on a fi ve-yard pass from Flutie, the other on a three-yard dive with SPORTS | SEE PAGE 18

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 15, 2021 Page 15 MATV to become UMA on Jan. 19 O n January 19, Malden Access TV (MATV) will officially change its business name to Urban Media Arts (UMA). To mark this important milestone, at noon on January 19 we will host a virtual ribbon cutting with Mayor Gary Christenson at the UMA studio to unveil a new website, logo and short introduction to our new name and expanded identity as UMA. This ribbon cutting will be broadcast on YouTube Live. Visit matv.org for that link. Those who have been following our journey might be saying, “Well, it’s about time! We’ve been hearing ‘MATV, soon to be UMA’ for over a year now!” And you would be correct. We first announced the new name 15 months ago at our Annual Celebration in October 2019. But becoming UMA turned out to be more than a new name and a logo change. Though the reason for changing our name was borne from the evolution of our growth from a cable TV station to a multimedia center serving the community both in and beyond Malden, defining our new identity involved a lot of hard work and exploration. Reflecting back, it was actually the pandemic that helped us hone in, crystallize our mission and define who we are becoming. When life as we knew it ground to a halt, we had to find new ways to fulfill our mission to “connect community, promote civic engagement, and nurture arts and culture in the city of Malden.” The first order of business was to get critical local information regarding COVID-19 out to the community. We worked hand in hand with the Mayor’s Office to produce the (then) weekly Coronavirus Update show, and distribute it on cable television, video-on-demand and social media platforms. Our Neighborhood View citizen journalists stepped up to report on a wide range of stories about how the pandemic is affecting our community. From the very start of the lockdown to the present day, we have been documenting the stories of our local residents, businesses, organizations and institutions. Neighborhood View has been reinvigorated as our team tells the unfolding story of this historic time in our city’s history. The need for connection has never been greater. We found ways to use virtual platforms, creative thinking and new technology tools to outreach, engage and foster meaningful connection in our community and with people and places across the globe. Working in collaboration with Tom Flint, founder of the Filmbuilding initiative, we are using a discovery-based approach to co-creative filmmaking. Currently done in an all-virtual format, Filmbuilding crosses boundaries of cultural differences and creates a shared experience that deepens our connection and sense of comA scene from “Beyond Television,” the video shown at the MATV/UMA Annual Celebration in 2019. mon humanity – likewise with our storytelling workshops, collaborative programs and virtual events that bring people together from all walks of life to explore the terrain of the human experience. UMA, it turns out, is more than a physical place – a location at 145 Pleasant St. It is an interconnected hub of evolving community that can transcend boundaries of time and distance and the challenges of a pandemic to explore our histories, share our stories and foster meaningful dialog. Working together as a community hub, we provide opportunities for shared experiences that encourage creativity, collaboration and problem-solving. Though we will change our logo and our name on January 19, we are still becoming UMA. You are a part of becoming UMA. We hope you continue to join us on our journey.

Mr. John “Commander” Carroll is the Rifl e Team coach and the Meteorology teacher at the High School. As facetious and gracious a man that has ever lived Mr. Carroll had the patience of a monk but could be a strict disciplinarian. His classroom rules were fi rm; no drugs or weapons were allowed, so he made sure everybody who was carrying empty out their pockets before the period began. You put your contraband in a desk drawer and collected your stuff after class. He was also considerate of other people’s feelings, never speaking too loudly as to wake up anybody who may have dozed off during his class. In July, Royal Ballet stars Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn are arrested on narcotics charges in San Francisco – the headline screamed “Busted at Hippy Pad!” Alfonso’s (later to be reinvented as The Squire) in Revere is also hiring “Cocktail Waitresses.” “Grilles” and “Cafes” were plentiful in Malden in 1967. You could quench your thirst and sate your appetite at any of the following: The Belmont Grille, the Malden Grille, The Highland Cafe, the Brunswick Cafe, Jack’s Cafe, the Maple Bar, Jack Haneys, the Showboat, Spadey’s Restaurant, the Strandway Cafe, the West End Grille, Fred’s Diner, The Embassy Restaurant, the Linwood Cafe, Maher’s Cafe, DeMarco’s Cafe, The Rosebud, Max’s Delicatessen, the R&R Lounge, the Robin Hood Motor Lodge, the Salem Grill, the Town Line Oyster House, the Horseshoe Bar & Grille, Mike’s Cafe, Morrison’s Cafe, Brandano’s, Tricca’s, and many many more. On May 21, the Jimmy Fund Little League Parade will begin at the Linden School at one o’clock and will include Congressman Torby MacDonald, Senator Fred Lamson, Mayor Walter Kelliher, and LL President Charlie Maccaris. “Slim-It” (imagine for a moment what exactly was in this!) is available at the Elmwood Pharmacy at 342 Pleasant Street. Johnny Marsinelli of 30 Oakland St. is inducted by Local Boards 20 and 101 into the service as part of the May Quota. The late great MacDaniel ‘Mac’ Singleton will assume the duties of phys ed instructor at the Beebe Junior High School. Mac played football with the Lowell Giants of the Atlantic Coast League in 1966 and was captain of the defense. He also had a tryout with the BosSaugus - PRICE CHANGE! $899,000 ton Patriots in 1966 but was cut. I had Mac as my gym teacher in the 7th & 8th grades and used his foul throw shooting technique he taught us my whole life. M.H.S. junior catcher Billy Croken is quickly earning a reputation as a potential pro baseball prospect. In the fi rst eight games he has thrown out 16 runners. The 5' 9" 170 lb. high schooler also pitches and in his fi rst start of the season threw a 3-hitter against Chelsea. He will eventually be drafted by the Red Sox. Danny Boland struck out 18 batters and allowed four hits as the Pirates beat the Bees in Northern Little League action. In Babe Ruth League action Richie ‘Ace’ Howard fi red a two-hitter as the Stars beat the Colts 2-1. At Nelson’s Bakery you can pick up a mince pie for 65 cents, Danish Kispies six for 50 cents, and apple gems banana nut bread three for $1.10. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – Malden in 1967 was a wonderful and memorable moment in time. Urban Renewal was bulldozing us into the 21st century and the Orange Line had not yet opened us up to the rest of the world. Each neighborhood had its own distinct fl avor and unmistakable characters. We had a thriving downtown, no concrete barrier in the middle of Pleasant Street, our own movie theatres, and the Highland Cafe had the best pizza this side of the North End. For a year full of SPORTS | FROM PAGE 14 5:06 to go, the Eagles soared to 9-2, as great a come-from-behind victory as the school has ever experienced. Flutie Magic pulled it out for BC in the end Flutie fi nished 14-of-29 for 198 yards, over half of that total yardage in the fourth quarter. Defensive end Dave Thomas recovered two deadly (for Alabama) Tide fumbles in the fourth quarter to set up both BC TDs. Alabama never gave in, and with under three minutes left got the ball back twice, but BC’s defense hung on with stops at the Eagles’ 28-yard line, and fi - nally, on the last play of the game, at its own 11-yard line. Of course, the Malden guys stayed all the way to the end. Wet and cold, but happy to see a part of history. Flutie would go on to be one of the most celebrated collegiate players in modern times, winning the Heisman Trophy as unrest and chaos at home, turmoil in the Middle East as well as across the world, with social mores being swept into the dusty past this was not such a bad year to be an All American Maldonian. the nation’s best player the next year, his senior season in 1984. He also led BC to back-to-back wins over Alabama, a 37-31 victory in Tuscaloosa, Ala., the next season. (Alabama never scheduled BC again!) Flutie – 5-10, 175 lbs. – was not projected as a professional QB, but went on to have a 20-year pro career in the USFL (1985), NFL (1986-89 and 1998-2005) and Canadian Football League (CFL, 1990-1997), including two stints with the Patriots (1987-89, 2005). Monaco did not end up wearing the Gold and Maroon of BC. After he fi nished a Hall of Fame career at Malden High, he became the Golden Tornadoes’ fi rst Division 1 scholarship quarterback since the 1940s, heading to South Kingston to play four years for the University of Rhode Island Rams. It was great to see history in the making...and we will all never forget the day we saw BC beat Alabama in our own backyard. Good times, indeed – a real memory-maker.
