The key focus of the response team and joint resources is to assess the full impact of the cyberattack and consequently determine if there had been a data breach of municipal information as a result of the January 25 cyberattack.

While the city of Malden’s telephone system and email communication availability were restored at the end of last week into the beginning of this week, as of Tuesday, January 31, municipal employees still had limited access to some city IT internal systems as the investigation continues, according to city offi cials.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 3, 2023 Page 3 Malden Public Schools students take part in Empowering Girls Conference Local girls from six Malden schools get to meet and interact with keynote speaker Valerie Biden Owens By Steve Freker H ow many Malden residents can say they are friends with the sister of the President of the United States? Dozens of Malden Public Schools students can, including a large contingent of young women from Malden High School! Nearly 70 students from six Malden public schools attended last week's 2023 Empowering Girls Conference, held at the State House in Boston and hosted by Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan. More than 450 students from 30 middle and high schools across Middlesex County took this year’s 12th Annual Conference. This year’s theme focused on "Inspiring Engaged and Civic-Minded Leaders”. Throughout the day, students heard from women who are accomplished advocates, leaders in their fields and actively engaged in the democratic process. Middlesex DA Ryan and Director of the District Courts Alice Casey led students through workshop sessions, reviewing concepts and strategies from the "Digital Citizenship Academy". The keynote speaker for this event was Valerie Biden Owens, younger sister of U.S. President Joe Biden, who has served on the political side as President Biden's campaign manager for 40 years, dating back to his first U.S. Senate run. Other speakers included DA Ryan, Newton Mayor Ruthanne Fuller; Diana Hwang, Founder and Executive Director of the Asian American Women's Political Initiative; Lisa Fortenberry, Executive Vice President, Camp Harbor View; Harvard Law School Professor Dehlia Umuuna; and Joanna Lydgate, Founder and CEO of the States United Democracy Center. Malden students were excited about their participation in the event, particularly since they got an opportunity to personally meet and interact with Valerie Biden Owers. "It was awesome to meet the President's sister," said MHS junior Victoria Gammon. "She talked to us for a while and was such a real person. We really appreciated that." "We are so grateful to DA Ryan for once again hosting our students at such an inspiring event," Malden High Principal Chris Mastrangelo said. "We have so many strong and successful young women in our school and district and it is great to have such tremendous resources available for them." Malden Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy was there to greet the students as they departed for the conference. "It was a tremendous opportunity for the students from our district. It was such a valuable experience for all of them." The students were accompanied to the event by Malden High School administrative assistant Barbara Scibelli and Malden Public School Superintendent's Office Executive Assistant Shirley Dorai.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 3, 2023 ~Malden Musings~ 1965 Malden By Peter Levine H ere I present some random thoughts on 1965 Malden. A coherent thread it may not be at times. Insert smiley face. My recent article on the 1965 Malden Catholic State Champion Football team brought back nostalgic memories for many readers. People had wonderful, vivid memories of their childhood growing up here. Malden was somewhat of a sleepy little burg back in the mid-sixties: two years away from All-American City status, 10 or so years away from the Orange Line bringing the world to our doorstep, a city with the same growing pains as many back in those turbuNeed a hall for your special event?

Those in Boston proper (notably my mom, who grew up in the North End) called Malden “the countryside.” The only thing “diverse” in 1965 Malden was the choice of bar rooms, taverns, pubs, social clubs, and waterholes. Places we gathered and socialized were plentiful – each distinctive from the other. Our demographics or ethnic population varied little. Although the vast majority did have one common denominator that held us all together, we were a proud working-class city – and still are. The Irish and Italians of Ward 2, the remnants of the Jewish population in the Suff olk Square area, a small but vibrant African American population, and a smattering of this and a smattering of that, which was as good as we could get at that point in time (I will fl esh that out later). But each neighborhood had its own distinct fl avor and character. From the far-fl ung reaches of Linden on the Saugus Branch to the West End and Edgeworth, you could fi nd active, tight-knit enclaves full of people with roots proudly dug down deep in Malden’s (sometimes contaminated) soil. Families were large and it was not uncommon to fi nd generations living together or just blocks away. The parks and recreational spaces overfl owed with children. Day and night. Civic pride was high and if you wore the “Blue & Gold” you were truly a big man/ woman on campus. Students at Malden High School/Malden Catholic in 1965 were becoming increasingly aware, socially and poCarpenito Real Estate is proud to congratulate Lori Johnson As a Multi Million Dollar producer once again.

Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement shared the headlines each night along with that nightmare of a war in Southeast Asia. Students and Maldonians in general were becoming acutely aware of their responsibility as global citizens and were voicing their opinions in ways unheard of just years before. Here is a small glimpse of Malden 1965 through the pages/eyes of esteemed local daily – David Brickman’s baby – the Malden Evening News: February 23, 1965: • At the traditional Washington’s birthday handshaking marathon held at the State House’s Hall of Flags in Boston (Malden boy) Governor John Volpe (and his wife Jennie) shook hands with 6,791 people. • The A.O.H Division 12 on View the interior of this home right on your smartphone.

Rock, Mike Conway, Jimmy Lucey, Neal Sullivan, Billy Flanagan, Marcus Kelley, Patrick Kelliher, John Haggerty, John Galvin, Chris Maher, Joey Ryan, Eddie Sheedy and Billy Callahan. • Councillor-at-Large Paul Callahan, a Major in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, leaves on Feb 24 for California and Hawaii on a three-week tour of Marine duty, taking part in Pacifi c operations. Major Callahan is also assistant principal at the Forestdale School. • The Granada Theatre is showing “Sex and the Single Girl” starring Tony Curtis and Lana Wood. The Strand is showing “The Outlaws Is Coming” with The Three Stooges and Adam West and the Hank Williams biopic “Your Cheatin’ Heart” with George Hamilton. My comment: I saw The Three Stooges movie with my older cousin “Big Joe” (Bates) and my little brother, Frank, that year. • My next-door neighbor at the time, Marty Long’s mom Mary, passed away that week. Mary was only 69 at the time. She was a native of Ireland. The Longs were some of the best people ever and welcomed the Levines into the neighborhood in 1963 like we were long lost “landsmen” from the Emerald Isle. • The Malden High School boys hoop team beat rival Medford at the Gene Mack Gymnasium in Medford for the 12th straight time, 64-61.

Future MHS football coach (and Hall of Famer) Paul Finn had 6. My comment: I had the pleasure (misfortune?) of playing against Stan the Man in the Malden Men’s Recreation Hoop League some 20 years after this game. Mr. Fiumara still had serious game. Those Medford teams that played in Malden were stacked with talent: guys like Stan, Tommy Ryser, Jay Sweeney, Mike Hodnett, Bobby Maloney, Freddy Pizzi and Mike McCormack. Forgetaboutit!! • “Coaches against Players” will take place Feb 27th at the Medford MDC Rink. A few of the Bantam Hockey League managers and coaches participating in the exhibition game will be Paul Surette, Tommy Mayne, Jake Crowley, John Blake, Al McGee, Joe Tomasi, Joey Mayne and Charlie Pini. A few of the players: Phil Shea, Bobby Boland, future Malden Police Chief Kenny Coye, Paul McCarthy, Steve Harris, Ruffino (Ruffy) Mugica (future fireballer), Mike Moriarty, Pete Hanifan, Frank Knox and Arthur Murray. March 9, 1965: • The Malden Evening News headline screamed, “8 Youths Face Charges in Court Stemming from Burglary Wave.” Echoing the same sentiments that are heard this very day, Police Chief (John) Buckley told the City Council, “unless the people take an interest and call the department when they see someone acting suspiciously, then things will get worse.” The police broke the case with the help of a call from a citizen. My comment: The names of the juveniles I will not print because of some well-known Malden names involved. • “Malden Minister Answers Plea, Flies to Selma, Joins March.” Forty-five-year-old (Reverend) Earl Lawson of 120 Madison St. joined an army of civil rights supporters from throughout the nation for the scheduled “freedom march” from Selma (Alabama) to the state capital in Montgomery. My comment: Malden at it’s very best! • Nelson’s Bakery in Maplewood Square is offering “gaily decorated Shamrock Specials” in anticipation for Saint Patrick’s Day. Shamrock Cookies, Saint Patrick Cups and Saint Patrick Gingerbread Men can be purchased all week. • “Blue & Gold Alumnus Remembers Anniversary.” Edward J. Hoffman of 61 Acorn St. was business manager when the first edition of The Blue and Gold was published in October of 1915. He became one of the first student editors. His generous $100 cash gift along with a brandnew typewriter made many people at The Blue and Gold very happy. Eddie, a practicing attorney in Boston at the time, graduated in the 1916 class at Malden High. The gift coincided with the paper’s upcoming 50th anniversary. • John Forrest (communications – electronics specialist) of Bainbridge Street, Norm Cook (aircraft maintenance specialist) of Lincoln Street and David Atwater (technical training as an office equipment repairman) of Rockland Avenue recently completed U.S. Air Force training at Lackland AFB in Texas. • Malden High School Class of 1960 are planning their 5th reunion to be held at Valle’s Steak House in Saugus. • The Malden Business School at 6 Pleasant St. is offering IBM Career Training. Various programs offered are Key Punch Operator, Office Data Processing, Machine Operator, Computer Programming, and Data Processing Specialist. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – here in Malden 1965, we got up for work early each day (Converse Rubber, Faulkner Mfg., Volpe Construction, Lewis Candy), punched the clock, had a snort or two before we hightailed home for dinner, tuned into the 6 o’clock news religiously (we had trust in Walter) and got a good night’s sleep. Malden 2023 has had an awakening of sorts. Mayor Christenson made a campaign promise to tear down “The Beast That Devoured Pleasant Street,” reconnect Pleasant Street, then introduce us to the phrase “transit-oriented development.” Our fortunes changed. Business took notice. They lined up and came calling (Kevin Duffy has been a busy man!). Malden became a city on the go – no longer viewed as mired in the dismal past. Mayor Christenson and his administration had a strong game plan with a vision for the future – not afraid to make the big, bold decisions. Here in Malden 2023, we get up for work each day (some travel, some remotely), punch the clock (on occasion), have a snort or two before we head home for dinner, tune into the 24-hour news cycle that is available to us now (but not with as much confidence/trust as we had in Walter, unfortunately) and get a good night’s sleep.

To the amazing teachers, who sometimes come in on weekends to help cover extra activities, that the students need. Principal Van is an amazing hands-on principal, who knows every child in the building by name and knows all of their histories and situations in order to push towards positive outcomes. I’ve learned that a number of new initiatives have been implemented in the last six months, that have not yet made it into official reports, that seem to be yielding amazing and positive outcomes for the Salemwood children. In the tour, at one point we were blindsided by a spontaneous question and answer session by a fourth-grade class. Maybe the students were genuinely interested or maybe they formed a spontaneous plan to hijack the class to get out of their daily lesson. But either way it was an amazing experience to stand there and get peppered by random questions by the room full of students.

They wanted to know how old I was, how long I was a school committee member, what it was like in elected office, what was for school lunch the next day, how long principal Van was an “assistant” principal, how many schools superintendent Noriega started, etc etc. At one point the students were amazed to learn that when I was around their age, my parents enrolled me in the High School Studies Program (HSSP) at MIT. A young African American student in today’s Salemwood class had been told about the HSSP program by his parents. I relayed to the students, that after being enrolled for a time, that as a teenager, that I had started teaching light Saturday morning classes to other kids in the HSSP program at MIT. Everyone was fascinated. Extensive questions were asked about the camera surveillance systems in the school buildings. Not sure why that even came up, but the staff answered those questions. The questions, that myself, the superintendent and the principal fielded were eye opening for everyone involved. The students invited me to come back. If it can be arranged it would be my honor to stand in front of those students and randomly field any questions about any topic, that they can throw at me. Seeing a little of the curriculum at the Salemwood school It was lovely and inspiring to be put on the spot with no prep whatsoever. It was natural. If it is possible to work out the logistics with the superintendent, I would be thrilled to come in on a Friday morning on future dates in the school year and let the students ask me anything about anything. Having our public school students engage and get to know us and us getting to know them is essential for building trust in the system over the long term. The Salemwood Sharks stole the show today and it was amazing. Sincerely, Joseph Gray Ward 6 School Committee Member

Describing the coyotes’ natural territory, such as in rural areas, food is displaced so coyotes have a larger home range,” Bird said. “In urban areas, their food range is approximately five miles.” Coyotes howl to communicate with each other and to attract a mate during breeding season. Their populations are dynamic and ever-changing The event was well-attended with over 100 people in the Forestdale School auditorium. A map of the coyote sightings in Malden and Revere is shown. Wildlife Biologist Chalis Bird displayed a coyote’s skull and coat. based on food resources. Bird provided a Question-and-Answer session with the audience, including on what coyotes eat and what time of day they come out. Coyotes will eat small mammals. Coyotes are active during the day, even when they’re sick. Children often mistake a domestic dog, which has a robust shape, for a coyote. The Mass. Division of Fisheries and Wildlife gets more dog bite than coyote reports. Their fur is adaptable for winter and summer seasons. Bird said she doesn’t recommend relocating or killing them since they’re here to stay. Relocating wildlife is illegal, unless it’s done professionally by the state. There are hunting and firearm discharge restrictions also in place. “Hazing, such as using air horn or whistle, and eliminating food sources can help to control the population near your home,” Bird said. “It’s about educating people, not harming them.” Wattles added that people can bang pots and pans to steer away coyotes from returning near humans. “We’re trying to teach coyotes not to come near homes,” Wattles said. “If it’s being harassed, it won’t want to be sitting in your backyard.” She advised people not to charge at them and don’t run either. Coyotes can jump fences, like dogs. “It’s best to remember that they are here to stay,” Bird said. “Tolerate their behavior well within reason.” She added that conflicts often come from unintentional feeding, such as trash, compost, pet food or birdfeed being left outside. They frequently visit areas in the day and night. An audience member asked if coyotes come out in groups. Wattles replied that that’s how they teach their young how to survive on their own and to hunt. Bird advised against intentionally feeding coyotes. If neighbors feed them, either have a conversation with them against that or have an animal control officer talk to them. “If you live near conservation land, that’s a place that coyotes are naturally going to be,” Wattles said.

The windchill – a measure of what it will feel like due to the combination of temperatures and wind – is expected to be close to 30 below zero Friday night into Saturday morning. The National Weather Service early Wednesday morning issued a windchill watch for all of Massachusetts from late Thursday to Saturday afternoon. The peak of the windchill is expected through early Friday evening, forecasters said, before it drops off slightly overnight into Saturday. City and town officials in all of our Advocate communities are urging all residents to be extremely cautious in conjunction with this weather, including how to dress in extreme cold and to stay inside as much as possible. The same advice is for humans and pets when venturing outdoors in extreme cold. (See separate story on extreme cold tips.) Temperatures are expected to return to the slightly above normal temperatures we have been experiencing thus far this winter by Monday, with the thermometer in the lowto-mid 40s, even back to low 50s by Tuesday. There is no substantial snow forecast in the near future, as the snowfall total of just 7 inches so far this winter remains well below normal.

Cemetery staff locate lost drone Sports Betting S ince the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal ban in 2018, sports gambling has exploded in popularity. According to the American Gaming Association, a record 46.6 million people planned to bet on the 20222023 NFL season. That’s nearly 18 percent of all American adults! If you’re planning on getting in on the action, first learn how you can maximize your fun and play responsibly. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) offers the following tips for responsible sports betting: • Understand gambling terminology. A basic wager in which you bet on who will win a game is called a money line bet, but there are many other terms you’ll need to get to know as well. Get familiar with pointspread, prop and futures bets and how each works. In addition, learn what terms like juice, parlay, total and teaser mean before you start placing bets. • Get familiar with sports statistics. It should go without saying, but don’t place a bet without researching. Use reputable sources to get statistical breakdowns on the teams and players on whom you want to bet to ensure the odds are in your favor. • Set limits for yourself. The InLast week Joe Turner, an FAA 107–certified drone pilot, lost his infrared drone while flying it in the woods between Forestdale and Wyoming Cemeteries. He was searching for coyotes over the woods at night. The technology failed and the drone flew away. After four unsuccessful searches over five days, the staff at Forestdale Cemetery located it – a very happy reunion. Pictured with the grateful drone owner are maintenance staff members, from left to right: Gary Stumpf, John Locke, Joe Turner holding the drone, Matthew Sullivan and Jimmy Knox, and, of course, Michelle Connolly of the office. ternational Center for Responsible Gaming (ICRG) recommends establishing what constitutes an acceptable loss before you start gambling. Knowing when to stop and only gambling with money you can afford to lose is critical. You might also want to set time limits for yourself regarding sports betting. • Avoid high-risk betting. Don’t borrow money to gamble, and avoid gambling if you are emotionally distressed. Remember that gambling under the influence of alcohol is risky since your good judgment could be compromised. • Only place bets with reputable bookmakers. Whether you’re placing a bet in person or online, only use “white-listed” sports books that your local gaming commission approves. • Be wary of paid handicappers. Sports handicappers might offer amazing odds, thanks to “insider information,” but often scams are behind their too-good-to-be-true promises. Some handicappers offer money-back guarantees or free picks if you make a losing wager, but these are also signs of a scam. • Watch out for scams. Handicappers aren’t the only source of scams regarding sports betting. Watch out for pop-up gambling ads, email spam or text messages that take you to websites offering “risk-free” bets, exaggerated incentives or deceptive bonuses. Bogus betting websites often use these tactics to draw in unsuspecting customers. • Get help if you need it. If you suspect you or a loved one suffers from a gambling addiction, get help from the National Council on Problem Gambling. You can call their hotline or find other resources available in your state.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 3, 2023 Page 13 Malden High School Boys and Girls Basketball both in contention for postseason berths following big wins over Chelsea By Steve Freker L ed by an 18-point, season-high scoring performance from junior Zeke Noelsaint and some solid team defense, the Malden High School boys’ basketball squad rolled to a 62-31 win over visiting Chelsea at Roy Finn Gym in Malden Tuesday. The victory stopped a 4-game slide for the Tornados and buoyed their drive for a potential MIAA Division 1 State Tournament berth. With the win, Malden improved to 8-7 overall and need at least 2 wins of their final 5 games to get to the postseason for the first time since 2018. "We needed that win after some struggles lately," said 18thyear Malden head coach Don Nally, "We got into a rut where the shots just weren't falling, but we stuck with it and got this win. We need to be more consistent on the offensive end, but fortunately guys like Zeke (Noelsaint) and Jonald (Joseph) stepped up tonight." Malden got a team-wide defensive effort against Chelsea led by senior captain Joseph (12 rebounds, 2 steals, 5 blocked shots) and freshman Ethan Phejarasai (4 steals, 5 rebounds). Off the bench Malden got solid minutes from sophomore Nate Sullivan (4 rebounds, 2 blocks, 5 points) and senior Aiden Tham (6 points).

"We are playing hard and we have been putting away some opponents, but we still have lots of work to do to get better," Coach Marino said. "What is great is that this is an extremely young team and they are willing to put in the work to get better," Coach Marino said. "We are very close to one of our biggest goals, which is making it to the State Tournament. We are very close." Malden's first shot at that goal came last night at home versus Lynn Classical.Malden also plays on the road Tuesday, February 7 at 6:00 p.m. Postseason remains in reach for the Everett boys’ co-op hockey team Crimson Tide gets ready to host league rival Medford Saturday afternoon By Joe McConnell T he Everett High School boys’ hockey co-op team (3-4 in the Greater Boston League, 5-6 overall) remains on track to qualify for the state tournament with nine games still left on the regular season schedule. “We have a lot of games left, and we are starting to gel at the right time,” said coach Craig Richards. “We’re staying in the hunt, because we don’t give up a lot of shots on goal. We’re getting good defensive coverage in front of our goalies.” The Crimson Tide icemen defeated St. Joseph’s Prep in a nonleague game at the Warrior Ice Arena in Brighton last Saturday, 8-1. The game was called in the middle of the second period, because a St. Joe’s player had to be wheeled off the ice and taken to the hospital via ambulance after falling to the ice. It turned out to be nothing serious, nothing broken, according to Richards, who talked to The Phoenix coach Rob Dwyer the next day. Michael Brandano of Everett helped pace the offensive attack for the Tide in this game with two goals. The Everett co-op then lost to host Taunton Monday night, 6-2. The Tigers jumped out to a 3-0 lead after one period, but the visitors trimmed the deficit to one after two, 3-2, before the home team lit the lamp three more times in the third to seal the deal. Everett senior David Saia notched the first goal against Taunton from Brandano. Revere senior Austin Annunziata then accounted for the other goal assisted by his classmate Chris Cecca and junior Matt LaCroix, also from Revere. Junior goalie Ben Rosa played all but the final three minutes of the game, and ended up making 15 saves. Aaron Al-Marayati, also a junior, manned the net for the remainder of the game. After taking on non-league host Lowell on Feb. 1 after press deadline, the Tide has since returned home to face GBL rival Medford Saturday at the Allied Veterans Memorial Rink, starting at 2 p.m.

Their meet against Greater Lowell begins at 3:30 pm on Jan 27. Serve and Succeed: The Story of Black Quartermasters in WWII By Joe Reagan, Director of Military and Veterans Outreach at Wreaths Across America A t the entrance to the U.S. Army Infantry Museum, located in Ft. Moore, GA, (formerly Ft. Benning), visitors begin their journey by walking up a 100yard ramp that shows the history of the U.S. Army Infantry. It is a symbolic representation of what is ingrained in every infantry soldier – you can have all the tanks, artillery, planes, trucks, and anything else in the world, but in battle the last 100 yards requires a soldier with a gun – the last 100 yards will always belong to the Infantry. This mindset inspires great pride in Infantry Soldiers, and inspires the admiration of historians, filmmakers, and civilians alike – often lost is the story of those troops who comprise supply lines that often begin in the U.S. and extend thousands of miles to ensure that the infantry has everything it needs to fight their way across that last 100 yards. By some estimates standing behind each infantry soldier are six support soldiers – they are the lifeline and unsung heroes whose efforts are often overlooked. This was especially true in World War II. World War II saw an increased level of mechanization – no longer did an army run solely on its stomach, fuel and spare parts were needed to keep the machines of war moving and that meant a supply chain extending back to industrial hubs in the United States. When comparing the success of campaigns like D-Day to failures like the German invasion of Russian in 1941 – it was logistics that determined success or failure – even the most tactically proficient army can’t win if it doesn’t have supplies. This required support soldiers to be better trained, and the U.S. Army needed more of them. Nearly one million black men served in WWII, over 80 percent of them were assigned to logistics and service units, in fact by 1944 almost all black soldiers were assigned to these units. They were responsible for building bridges, roads, and runways, they moved beans, bullets, fuel, and the fallen – their efforts were critical to the allied success and were the embodiment of the modern military saying, “armatures study tactics, professionals study logistics.” To be historically accurate, all black units such as the 92nd and 93rd infantry divisions, the 861 Tank Battalion, and the Tuskegee Airman have impressive and well documented success in combat – the story of black quartermasters is important because it not only embodies the courage and valor of these Americans but demonstrates their ingenuity and how their service led to success on the battlefield and when they came home. In Europe, allied preparations for the D-Day invasion required a massive movement of supplies, ships would have to be quickly unloaded to make room for the next load – this job fell to the quartermaster corps whose dockhands were primarily black GI’s. In prior conflicts much of this unloading would have been done by hand – a menial task – given the size of the loads, often exceeding 30 tons, it required skilled crane operators who worked non-stop during the 18-month build up to D-Day. In the final hours before the invasion these skilled operators would transfer loads directly from the supply ships to the invasion crafts. Once the foothold was established in Normandy, the quartermasters were in a race to ensure the front-line troops they needed to continue to push the Nazi’s back. By July of 1944, allied troops were moving east at a rate of nearly 80 miles a week. With sea and rail infrastructure badly damaged – Normandy remained the sole point of entry for supplies entering the European theatre. Allied commanders were determined to prevent a lack of supplies from stopping the advances on the front lines, so they devised an ambitious plan that became known as the Red Ball Express. Nearly 75 percent of the drivers who made up this critical and constantly expanding supply line were black and not all of them were trained to drive trucks, never mind drive trucks filled with ammunition, at night, without headlights working in teams of two to complete the 54-hour round-trip journey. They succeeded in delivering roughly 12,000 tons of supplies per day – for 82 consecutive days. The quartermasters played a huge role in the Pacific as well. While we typically think about the island-hopping campaign in the Pacific, crucial to the success of these missions was the work of our Chinese allies under Chiang Kai-shek. The Ledo Road, like the Red Ball Express, was a critical supply route connecting U.S. bases in India with allied forces in China – without these supplies Chinese forces likely would have been defeated allowing Japan to focus all its efforts on the Pacific. The building and maintenance of the Ledo Road was overseen primarily by these units. The roughly 1,000mile road cut through many obstacles including Japanese snipers, dense jungles and of course the southern Himalayan Mountains. Running the route was treacherous, challenging even experienced drivers. Keeping the road open was an equally daunting task that fell on engineering units who would operate bulldozers and other specialized equipment in torrential rain to clear blocked portions of the road or reconstruct parts that washed out. The legacy of black quartermasters in World War II is one of Service and Success. GI’s who quickly learned how to become skilled crane operators working non-stop to ensure the D-Day invasion had all the supplies needed to succeed. They became expert truck drivers and tirelessly kept the flow of supplies moving to the front during the Red Ball Express. They were engineers and drivers who crossed the Himalayan Mountains to ensure allied forces could keep pressure on the Japanese to allow U.S. forces to succeed in the Pacific. These quartermasters answered the call to serve, while in uniform they succeeded in quickly learning new skills, adapting to challenges, and committing themselves to mission success. After the war their service left an enduring legacy on our military. An after-action review of the war found that the contributions of black soldiers was instrumental to the success of the war effort. The report went on to recommend creating a desegregated force that was fully reflective of STORY | SEE PAGE 19

The debate over the rules on how the House and Senate will operate during the upcoming 2023-2024 session will soon begin, as it does every year at the beginning of a legislative session. The rules are important and have an effect on how much power individual members have compared to House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy), Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) and the rest of the Democratic leadership team. A LOOK BACK: Here are some of the new rules that House Republicans proposed for the 2021-2022 session, the comments of supporters and opponents of the new rules and how your local representatives voted. The proposals were all defeated mostly along party lines with the vast majority of Republicans voting for the changes and the vast number of Democrats voting against them. These four rules are likely to be offered by the GOP soon in the 2023-2024 session. TERM LIMITS FOR SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE (H 3930) House 35-125, rejected an amendment that would reinstate a 2009 rule that prohibited any representative from serving as speaker of the House for more than eight consecutive years. The rule was repealed in 2015. “The speaker holds the most powerful office in the House of Representatives, but all 160 Representatives stand as equals when it comes to representing their constituents,” said GOP House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “Setting term limits on the speaker’s office is a way to prevent too much power from being consolidated in the hands of any one individual over time. Reinstating the term limits that were repealed in 2015 would send a powerful message that the House is committed to inclusion and the periodic transition of power.” THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 3, 2023 Rep. Paul Donato continuously improve our Legislature, I do not support term limits,” said Rep. Jim O’Day (D-West Boylston). “Term limits can place the House at a severe disadvantage during negotiations with the governor and other officials, which is not beneficial for advancing legislation or for our districts.” (A “Yes” vote is for term limits for the speaker. A “No” vote is against term limits for the speaker.) Rep. Paul Donato No Rep. Steven Ultrino No POST HOW REPRESENTATIVES VOTED ON BILLS IN COMMITTEE (H 3930) House 38-121 and 41-117, rejected two similar amendments that would require that committees make public how each legislator on the committee voted on whether or not to favorably report a bill to the House. This would replace a section that would only post the names of legislators who voted against the bill and list the aggregate vote tally without names, of members voting in the affirmative or not voting. “The public has a right to know where their legislators stand on the issues being debated in committee, and it makes absolutely no sense to identify by name only those members who vote “no” at an executive session or on a poll,” said Rep. Brad Jones, sponsor of one of the amendments. “When we vote in the House chamber, our individual votes are displayed for all to see, and legislative committees should be held to the same standard by providing full disclosure of where each member stands on a given issue.” “I believe every resident of Massachusetts has the right to hold their elected state representative accountable,” said Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven (D-Somerville), the sponsor of the other amendment. “Under current rules, there is no accountability on the votes we take in committee. This amendment ensures that every vote taken in committee is available to the public, including when bills are sent to [a] study [committee].” Rep. Joe Wagner (D-Chicopee) opposed the listing of which representatives vote “yes” or did not vote. “The names of votes of those voting in the negative being there for everyone to see is sufficient in terms of transparency,” said Wagner. “I have always been concerned, and I’ve chaired committees for about 20 years, and I have been always concerned that when we take votes in committee, the votes that we take to advance legislation does not reflect necessarily, when an affirmative vote is taken, the support for the matter as it is before the committee.” Wagner continued, “So, for example, there are points at which members will vote affirmatively to move a matter from a committee because they support the idea conceptually of a particular piece of policy or legislation … And so I think that where a vote in the negative is very clear, a vote in the affirmative is less clear. And there are interest groups and there are people frankly who may have agendas and would use a vote in the affirmative, if a member’s name were attached in that way, to try to discredit a member perhaps or potentially misconstrue a member’s position on a particular issue.” (Both roll calls are listed. On both roll calls, A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato No/No Rep. Steven Ultrino No/No ALLOW MEMBERS TWO HOURS TO VOTE IN COMMITTEE (H 3930) House 35-124, rejected an amendment that would give legislators two hours to vote electronically when casting a vote on a bill in committee. “Members are often given very little time to respond to committee polls, even when the poll involves multiple bills and complicated issues,” said sponsor Rep. Brad Jones. “One of the more glaring examples … was a recent House Ways and Means poll that gave members just 16 minutes to review a 38-page supplemental budget and a separate election reprecincting proposal. That is simply not enough time to properly review and understand these bills.” Opponents of the amendment said it goes too far. They argued the current system works fine and that always allowing two hours can delay getting some important and urgent bills to the House floor. (A “Yes” vote is for giving two hours to vote. A “No” vote is against giving two hours.) Rep. Paul Donato No Rep. Steven Ultrino No GIVE LEGISLATORS 72 HOURS TO READ CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORTS (H 68) House 35-123, rejected an amendment that would give legislators 72 hours to read a conference committee report before voting on it. Current rules allow the conference committee report to be considered the next day. “Conference committees often require weeks or even months of negotiations between the House and Senate to arrive at a compromise bill that can be presented to the membership for a vote,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Brad Jones. “The current process allows very little time between the release of the conference committee report and the vote to accept the report for members to review and understand what they’re actually voting on. Providing a 72-hour window would give both the public and legislators a better understanding of what’s included in the conference committee report before a vote is taken.” “We are a deliberative body oftentimes debating issues for a half of the session,” said Rep. Daniel Hunt (D-Dorchester). “Over a year and a half we have come together and have great debate over the bills. Amendments are filed. The Senate takes the same action. We might look at what the Senate did and further amend our bill. We then go to conference, where three members of each side sit in lengthy debate on our behalf and when the bill comes back to us it’s an up or down vote. I do appreciate the leader's point where at the end of last session, because of necessity, because of the global pandemic, because of the extended session and the hour of the day, oftentimes reports were out in a 24-hour period.” (A “Yes” vote is for giving 72 hours. A “No” vote is against giving 72 hours.) No Rep. Steven Ultrino No ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL 6,403 BILLS FILED FOR CONSIDERATION IN 2023-2024 SESSION – Legislators filed 6,403 pieces of legislation by the January 20 deadline. The 159 House members filed 4,050 while the 40 senators filed 2,353. Here are some of the 6,403: HEARING AIDS (HD 3777) – Would require all health care plans to provide hearing aid coverage of up to $500 per hearing aid and then 80 percent coverage of the next $1,500 for each hearing aid. “This legislation was first brought to my attention by a senior citizen in my district who cannot afford his hearing aids,” said co-sponsor Rep. Jessica Giannino (D-Revere). “This bill will go a long way to improving the quality of life for people of the commonwealth,” said co-sponsor Rep. Sean Garballey (D-Arlington). “It builds on top of a law that was passed allowing children up to the age of 21 to receive hearing aids. This current bill would expand that coverage to every person.” RECOGNIZE HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADING AS A SPORT (HD 4074) – Would designate and treat high school cheerleading as a legitimate sport and have it governed by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) which currently governs 19 other high school sports. “I filed this bill to have cheerleading designated a sport at the high school level, governed by the MIAA so that it is supported like all other teambased athletic programs offered in high schools across the state,” said sponsor Rep. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica). “I have filed it … for the town of Billerica, [because] our cheerleading program is one of the best in the state and just won their 8th state championship this past March.” Supporters said that Bay State high school cheerleading is currently governed by the Massachusetts Schools Administrators’ Association (MSAA) which only supports Cheer/Game Day, Dance and eSports. They argued it would be more appropriate to have the MIAA run and support this highly athletic and competitive sport. HIS, HER AND THEIR EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR (HD 3598 and HD 3729) – Would amend the part of the state constitution that creates the title “His Excellency” for the governor and lieutenant governor. The proposal would add two more possible titles – “Her Excellency” and “Their Excellency.” “It’s time to bring Massachusetts into the 21st century,” said sponsor Rep. Jenny Armini (D-Marblehead). “Given who is sitting in the corner office, it’s obviously ridiculous that the constitution doesn’t recognize Gov. Healey’s gender. We must plan for the future, which is why these bills also include language to accommodate those across the gender spectrum.” RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE FROM $15 PER HOUR TO $20 PER HOUSE (HD 3965) – Would increase, over a 4-year period (2024-2027), the minimum wage from $15 per hour to $20 per hour; and the tipped worker minimum from $6.75 to $12, increasing it from 45 percent of minimum wage to 60 percent of it. Another provision beginning in 2028, would index the minimum wage for inflation, using the consumer price index. “While we celebrate the significant victory of the 2018 law, we know that working families and individuals are still under enormous financial stress with rising inflation and increased costs of housing and living,” said sponsor Rep. Tram Nguyen (D-Andover). “They are struggling to meet their basic needs and provide for their families.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “One of the most effective ways to reduce tobacco use, not only among low-income individuals but also for youth, is to significantly increase the tax on all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. Multiple studies have shown that every 10 percent increase in the price of cigarettes reduces consumption by about 4 percent among adults and about 7 percent among youth.” ---The American Lung Association recommending that Massachusetts lawmakers increase the state’s current $3.51 per pack tax on cigarettes by at least $1. “We need tax reform. We need tax relief. Making Massachusetts more competitive and attractive means doing just that. I know how important this is to the business community.” ---Gov. Maura Healey in a speech to the business group Associated Industries of Massachusetts. “The dedicated men and women who keep our communities safe too often hide the significant stress and trauma they incur from the job. Every officer in the commonwealth must have access to quality mental health services and peer support to combat this stigma.” ---Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford) on distribution of money for a statewide grant program, which he created via legislation in 2018, providing police officers across Massachusetts with access to mental health services and peer support. “We know that when kids are hungry at school they cannot learn. We know that hungry kids have problems concentrating, have lower academic achievement, suffer cognitive development impairments and exhibit more behavioral problems in their food secure peers.” ---Rep. Andres Vargas (D- Haverhill) on his bill that would allow every Massachusetts student to receive free breakfast or lunch in school without providing income or other eligibility information. 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.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 3, 2023 THE DERMODY SJC CASE O n January 27, 2023 the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court handed down a decision in favor of MassHealth with respect to Medicaid annuities required benefi ciary designations. This was a long-awaited decision by members of the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law attorneys. Several members of the Massachusetts Chapter presented an amicus curiae brief in favor of the plaintiff in the lawsuit, Laurie A. Dermody. The case was originally heard in the Superior Court in 2017 and the SJC granted an application for direct appellate review. Robert G. Hamel purchased a Medicaid annuity issued by Nationwide Life in order to seek approval for his wife Joan Hamel’s MassHealth application. He named the Commonwealth of Massachusetts the remainder benefi ciary to the “extent of benefi ts paid”, and his daughter Laurie A. Dermody as the contingent benefi ciary. Upon Robert’s death, prior to having received all of the monthly payments under the annuity policy, Laurie brought suit against MassHealth and Nationwide contending that she, rather than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, was entitled to the remainder of the annuity payments. A Medicaid annuity is a last-minute strategy to take excess assets off of the table by purchasing it with those excess assets thereby creating a non-countable income stream for the spouse who is at home, thereby qualifying the spouse in the nursing home for MassHealth benefi ts. Congress intended on providing the at home spouse with enough income to pay for monthly living expenses and not to be impoverished. The SJC reasoned that Congress’ intent when it passed the Defi cit Reduction Act (DRA) was to name the Commonwealth of Massachusetts the remainder benefi ciary on any Medicaid annuity, regardless of whether or not the annuity was purchased by the institutionalized spouse or the community spouse. If the community spouse outlives the term of the annuity (e.g. fi ve years of monthly payments), then he or she will have enjoyed the benefi t of those monthly payments over that fi ve year period. Upon the community spouse’s death in that situation, there are no remaining payments left and no balance remaining that could be paid to the State. However, if the community spouse dies in year two or three, for example, the remaining balance of the annuity must be paid to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to repay it for any MassHealth benefi ts paid for the institutional spouse while in the nursing home. Any remaining balance after that can then be paid to the children. Elder law attorneys have been unsure as to whether or not the annuity beneficiary designation could state “Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to the extent of benefi ts paid on behalf of the community spouse”. The hope was that so long as the community spouse never went into a nursing home and qualifi ed for MassHealth benefi ts, upon his or her death, the insurance company would make payment of the remaining balance to the children. This SJC case makes it clear that will not be the case. The community spouse will simply have to live for the entire term of the annuity policy in order to protect all of that money. Otherwise, the state must be paid off in full fi rst before the children can receive anything. The SJC stated that the DRA requires the State to be named the primary remainder benefi ciary on the death of the community spouse. The SJC did hold that the Medicaid annuity met all other requirements of the statute and was an effective strategy in order to achieve MassHealth approval for Joan Hamel. As a further note, the lookback period was extended from 3 years to 5 years under the Defi cit Reduction Act of 2005. Joseph D. Cataldo is an estate planning/elder law attorney, Certifi ed Public Accountant, Certifi ed Financial Planner, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a master’s degree in taxation.

Where can retirees fi nd affordable dental care? Uninsured Al Dear Al, Unfortunately, about two-thirds of U.S. retirees don’t have dental insurance today. Without coverage from traditional Medicare, and with private dental insurance typically costing too much to be feasible, most seniors are stuck paying full out-of-pocket prices every time they visit a dentist. While there’s no one simple solution to aff ordable dental care there are a variety of options that can help cut your costs. Here’s where to look. Medicare Advantage: While dental services are mostly excluded under original Medicare, many Medicare Advantage plans do provide coverage for dental care, but it’s usually very limited. Medicare Advantage plans are government approved health plans (usually HMOs and PPOs) sold by private insurance companies that you can choose in place of original Medicare. To shop and research Advantage plans in your area visit Medicare.gov/plan-compare or call 800-633-4227. Dental insurance: If you have gum problems and need exCity of Malden Massachusetts MALDEN HISTORICAL COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING The Malden Historical Commission will hold a public hearing in the Herbert L. Jackson Council Chamber, Malden City Hall, 215 Pleasant Street, Malden, MA at 6:00 P.M. on Thursday, February 23, 2023, to review and consider the following: Notice of Intent to Demolish Buildings regarding demolition permit application #CMID 051597-2022 for the buildings at the properties known as and numbered, 100 Hospital Road (City Assessor’s Parcel ID # 025 104 401), and 57 Hospital Road (City Assessor’s Parcel ID # 025 105 501), which have been determined to be Significant Buildings, in accordance with Title 4, Chapter 24, Code of City of Malden, the Demolition and Alteration Delay Ordinance, for the purpose of making a determination whether the Buildings on these properties are Preferably Preserved Buildings and the demolition permits should be delayed, in accordance with Title 4, Chapter 24, Code of the City of Malden, the Demolition and Alteration Delay Ordinance. Permit application and plans are available for public review on the City website at https://maldenma-energovweb.tylerhost.net/apps/SelfService#/home By: John Tramondozzi Chair Malden Historical Commission February 3, 10, 2023 tensive dental care, a dental insurance plan may be worth the costs versus paying for care yourself. Monthly premiums for individual plans range from about $20 to $80. A typical plan includes two or three cleanings and checkups per year, but these plans will likely have a waiting period – anywhere from a few months to a few years – before coverage for more expensive procedures kicks in. To fi nd dental plans in your area, see eHealthInsurance.com. Dental savings plans: While savings plans aren’t as comprehensive as insurance, they are a good option for those who don’t have dental insurance. How this works is you pay an annual membership fee – around $80 to $200 a year – in exchange for 10 to 60 percent discounts on service and treatments from participating dentists. To fi nd a savings plan, go to DentalPlans.com (or 888-632-5353) where you can search for plans and participating dentists, as well as get a breakdown of the discounts off ered. Veterans’ benefi ts: If you’re a veteran enrolled in the VA health care program or are a benefi ciary of the Civilian Health and Medical Program (CHAMPVA), the VA off ers a dental insurance program that gives you the option to buy dental insurance through Delta Dental and MetLife at a reduced cost. The VA also provides free dental care to vets who have dental problems resulting from service. To learn more about these options, visit VA.gov/dental or call 877-222-8387. Cheaper dental care: Because prices can vary by dentist, one way to ensure you get a good deal on your dental care is to call multiple provides and compare prices. To get an idea of what diff erent dental procedures cost in your area, see FairHealthConsumer.org. If you’re paying cash, it’s also perfectly reasonable to ask your dentist for a discount. There are also a number health centers and clinics that provide low-cost dental care to those in need. And all university dental schools and college dental hygiene programs off er dental care and cleanings for less than half of what you would pay at a dentist’s offi ce. Students who are supervised by their professors provide the care. See TeethWisdom.org to search for a center, clinic or school near you. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Kinnon, Chairman Andrew Zeiberg, Member Paul Lee, Member February 3, 2023 SLEEP | FROM PAGE 2 prepare ourselves for the next day. This is accomplished by the brain cycling through the diff erent stages of sleep. The amount of time needed in each stage of sleep varies depending on various factors including age. Q: Why is it important to get restorative sleep? MM: Just as our muscles need rest after using them, our brain needs rest after being awake all day. Restorative sleep allows our body and mind to properly function the next day. Without restorative sleep, we may feel fatigued and our performance at work and home might not be reaching high performance levels. Q: What can be the consequences of not receiving enough sleep? MM: Not receiving enough restorative sleep has been associated with many adverse eff ects aff ecting all systems of the body. In addition to feeling exhausted, some examples include high blood pressure, memory problems, increased risk of heart disease and stomach ulcers, obesity, depression, and reduced immune function. Q: What are some of the reasons we are not getting enough? MM: There are many reasons why we may not get enough restorative sleep. These include factors aff ecting our sleep environment, our habits prior to bedtime, and co-morbid medical conditions including sleep disorders, and some of the medications we take. Time lying in bed when not tired can also lead to an active mind or “busy brain.” Meditation and breathing exercises can help. Q: Do you have any tips or suggestions on how we can get more sleep? MM: The most important thing we can do is to adopt good sleep hygiene practices. These include setting a relaxing and consistent night-time routine that helps promote sleep, keeping the room dark and cool, avoiding excessive caff eine, getting plenty of exercise, fresh air and sunlight during the day, refraining from eating right before bed, and turning off electronic devices. You may also want to speak to your doctor to determine if any of your conditions or medications could be aff ecting your sleep. Q: Is it possible to “bank” our sleep or “catch up” on sleep we’ve missed? MM: A lot of people try to catch up on sleep on the weekends to help pay off their sleep debt. A better approach is to work on reducing that debt during the week. Even adding 30 extra minutes every day of additional sleep will help you gain the benefits of a good night’s sleep. Q: Is there anything else you would like to add? MM: Sleep is just as important as being awake. Getting sleep that is restorative is even more important and treating it as an essential part of our health can have positive health outcomes for years to come. If you are concerned about if you are achieving restorative sleep, speak your health care provider today.
