The race – formerly the Malden Rotary Road Race – has raised funds for events in the past, such as the refurbishment of Malden’s World War I Memorial as well as the Wounded Veterans Ride. The event is being organized by Cambridge 5K. The racecourse, a loop running through the downtown, has proven to be popular with runners as well as spectators. Beginning at the new City Hall at 215 Pleasant St., the course will take runners through the downtown, Commercial Street and up Canal Street before returning to the downtown. Five loops through the course gives runners the 13.1 miles – and gives the families and fans a chance to cheer them on repeatedly. The awards ceremony will be held in the Pleasant Street parking lot. The Half-Marathon starts at 8 a.m. and the Five-Mile Road Race starts at 9:30 a.m., so bring your lawn chairs down to Pleasant and Exchange Streets and cheer for your runners.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 4, 2022 Page 3 ~ Letter to the Editor ~ MVRCS board chair expresses concerns about future of Maplewood Square Committee Dear Councillor Winslow: Please accept this letter from Mystic Valley Regional Charter School (MVRCS), which expresses the school’s opposition to the City of Maiden’s strategy for planning the future of Maplewood Square, as outlined in Mayor Christenson’s Request for Technical Assistance letter to the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC). MVRCS agrees that there ought to be a plan for improving Maplewood Square. However, the mayor’s proposed direction, as outlined in his letter, raises serious questions regarding the newly formed Future of Maplewood Square Committee (Committee). This leads the school to believe that the process is already fundamentally flawed. Our objections are as follows. The Committee was created in a non-transparent, non-inclusive manner. The Committee is not representative of Maplewood Square or its stakeholders. For over 100 years and until the gerrymandered district lines were redrawn (effective January I, 2022), Maplewood Square was entirely inside of Ward 6 boundaries. Ward 6 still holds claim to over 75 percent of the land area and more than 80 percent of the businesses within the square. The Committee, in its current iteration, is composed of five members. Only one member; Councilor Winslow, is from Ward 6. Three members are from Ward 5, two of whom do not live within one mile of Maplewood Square. There is only one commercial business owner from the square on the Committee, but this person does not reside in Malden and has only been in Maplewood Square for two years, mostly during the pandemic. The Committee does not contain a single commercial property owner within the defined Maplewood Square historically surveyed area as defined by the Malden Historical Commission Survey of 2016-2017, which is largely the reason this Committee was initially established. There are many viable long-term property owners and stakeholders with longstanding interests in Maplewood who are likely to be most impacted. These stakeholders are notably absent from Committee representation. Instead, the current Committee is comprised largely of politicians, government bureaucrats, and social service providers who work in the nonprofit sector. Are these the people who are best equipped to determine what should occur with the property owners’ buildings? The Committee does not include a single resident homeowner who lives in the defined Maplewood Square historically surveyed area or any of its adjacent streets, as defined by the Malden Historical Commission Survey of 2016-2017. There are owner-occupied houses within the defined district and streets directly abutting it. No earnest attempt was made to reach out to these individuals, despite it being a common courtesy to seek volunteers from within 300 feet of the defined area. These homeowners will be far more impacted than those who currently sit on the Committee and should have been included. While a business owner sits on the Committee and while we believe he will provide meaningful feedback, we respectfully note that the business opened just two years ago, immediately prior to the pandemic. Of note, it is located on Lebanon St., where there are a fraction of the businesses that are on Salem St. Lebanon St. is also less impacted by bus transportation. This business typically does not open until later in the day, limiting exposure to the morning rush hour traffic. The Committee, therefore, should be expanded to include members with more longevity and experience in Maplewood. MVRCS would be glad to furnish a list of viable business and property owners upon request. The mayor’s letter cites the 2010 Master Plan. That Master Plan, largely created by MAPC, was rejected by the Malden City Council in 2011. Thus, citing it is misleading. When the City Council voted down the 2010 Master Plan, it effectively made that report irrelevant from a planning perspective. In fact, it is our understanding that it was rejected largely because it called for increased housing density around “Squares and Centers” such as Maplewood Square. In the Vision Survey of 2008, Malden citizens resoundingly opposed more apartments, particularly outside of downtown Malden. Further, during the Moratorium Survey of 2017, an overwhelming majority of the residents of Ward 6 and the city at large voiced their opposition to any further apartment growth within the city. The citizens expressed support for height limits of no more than three stories outside of downtown Malden (the height limit was lowered to four stories) and opposition to bike lanes on streets. Despite that direct feedback from the citizens, the letter appears to be promoting both more density and the creation of bike lanes. For clarification, MVRCS is aware of the results of the 2017 Moratorium Survey because MVRCS MVRCS | SEE PAGE 16 SNOW BLOWER SALES, SERVICE & REPAIRS Pickup/Delivery Available 1039 BROADWAY, REVERE 781-289-6466 781-289-6466 WWW.BIKERSOUTFITTER.COM WWW.BIKERSOUTFITTER.COM AUTOTECH $$ CASH FOR YOUR CAR, TRUCK OR SUV! $$ GET YOUR VEHICLE SPRING READY!

Last year Lewis joined Reading town and school leaders on a historical tour of Reading – organized by CATO – that shed light on the enslaved black people who once lived in the town, including Cato Eaton, who only gained his freedom after fi ghting for three years in the Revolutionary War. “My work represents that change is possible, no matter how large or small; that even a little black boy such as myself can come back 20 years later to be the change he wishes to see in his lifetime as long as one stays determined to see the change through,” Phillip said regarding the importance of his work. “I’m proud to have nominated Philmore as a Black Excellence on the Hill honoree, and grateful that his important work to advance racial equity in Reading and beyond is being recognized,” said Lewis. Phillip has also worked closely with two Reading teachers, Kara Gleason and Megan Howie, who have done extensive research into the history of enslaved people in Reading, to broaden the school curriculum to include this untold history. He was also a featured speaker at Reading’s fi rst Juneteenth celebration.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 4, 2022 Page 5 COUNCIL | FROM PAGE 1 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, has also been lifted so that the Councillors were also able to participate without wearing masks. At their fi rst in-person meeting of 2022, the Councillors also got a special treat when they were able to take a brief recess and review the informative and inspiring exhibit on display in the lobby of Malden City Hall outside the Council Chamber of a historical look at Black Women Suff ragists. The display was provided by the North Shore Juneteenth Association as part of their recent commemoration of Black History month. Maria Luise, Special Assistant to Mayor Gary Christenson, appeared and spoke at Tuesday's Council meeting and encouraged Councillors to inform their constituents of the display, so it could be viewed. The exhibit gives the Black Women Suff ragists both the recognition and the appreciation they deserve, she said. According to Malden city offi cials, during the 19th and 20th centuries, Black women played an active role in the struggle for universal suffrage, participating in political meetings and conventions where they strategized on obtaining the right to vote. "These heroes along with many others displayed incredible amounts of fortitude, resilience and courage and played an important role in getting both the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments passed," according to a release from Mayor Christenson's offi ce. The exhibit will be on display through Monday, March 7 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Malden City Hall, 215 Pleasant St. **** Council approves salary transfers due to municipal job reclassifi cations The Malden City Council approved a series of funds transfers from the Salary Reserve Fund to cover some salary increases generated by municipal position reclassifi cations. The reclassifications were made by under the auspices of the Council's Finance Committee and its chairperson, Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy. "We are pleased to announce these salary adjustments and to note the continuing work of the committee members in reclassifying some of these positions," Councillor Murphy said, acknowledging the other Finance Committee members, Counclllors Paul Condon (Ward 2, Vice chairperson), Karen Colon Hayes (at large), Jadeane Sica (Ward 8), Chris Simonelli (Ward 7) and Stephen Winslow (Ward 6). "We have more work to do as we navigate through the other city departments this year." The salary transfers due to the reclassifi cations included: Teen Center Salaries, $8,081.77 Police Administration Salaries, $3,831.74 Information Technology Salaries, $4,034.33 Controller Salaries, $2,343.41 DPW Admin Salaries, $1,571.00 Fire Admin Salaries, $2,343.41 Health & Human Services Salaries, $2,893.97 Recreation Salaries, $2,893.97 Engineering Salaries , $2,343.41 Inspectional Services Salaries, $1,571.00 Traffi c Administration Salaries, $5,319.25 **** Council approves new, third polling place for Ward Six at Malden Moose Hall Due to the redistricting process approved by the Council at a recent meeting, the new, three-precinct setup of the eight Malden wards is now in place, The relocation of former portion of Ward 8 into Ward Six, on the western side of Broadway, resulted in the need for a new, third polling place for Ward 6 residents. That new polling place, the Malden Moose Hall, 562 Broadway, was unanimously approved by the Council at Tuesday's meeting at the request of Ward 6 Councillor Stephen Winslow. This would be for Ward 6, Precinct 3. The other Ward 6 polling places are Ward 6, Precinct 1 (Community Room, 630 Salem St. Senior Housing) and Ward 6, Precinct 2 (Club 24, 787 Salem St., Malden). The Council later approved all of the new precincts for all of the eight wards in a separate vote. ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Thanks MVRCS chairman for Maplewood Square plans Dear Editor, As a resident of the city of Malden, I would fi rst like to thank Mr. George Warren, Chairman of Mystic Valley Regional Charter School for informing the residents of Malden in regards to MVRCS’ plans for Maplewood Square and future plans for reGerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

I am fit as a fiddle (thank you to all who reached out to me) and ready to get back to bringing you all the Malden news that is vital to your existence – more hard-hitting questions lobbed at local polls, more essential news on where I drink coffee on Sunday mornings and more updates on the best cemetery director in the state, Jimmy “Stinger” Cahill. Thank you again. Congratulations go out to Johnny “Meats” Mehos on surviving 35 years, five months and 12 days working as a beast of burden for the USPS. A few weeks back Johnny was preceded in retirement by Peter Myles, who also survived year after year the most grueling working conditions known to civilized man. Peter and John getting out with their sanity and good looks still intact. These letter carriers are real heroes worthy of our admiration and praise. John, I wish for you many years of “retirement” happiness. You certainly deserve it. “Meats” is one of the good guys (not only because he is from Edgeworth, insert smiley face). Maldonians, please remember these hard-working individuals around the holiday season. I’m talking lots of green stuffed in an envelope with some kind words for these modern-day warriors. Vinnie Straccia! Again, I get shocked by the randomness and vagaries of this life we lead. I was not ready to lose you as a friend, Vinnie. Not yet anyway. You had too much life in you. And specialness (is that even a word?). I wasn’t done picking that massive musical brain of yours for more of the classics I may have missed growing up. Or hearing you perform more music. You were a true original, Vinnie. Loved beyond words, my friend.

Wise guys out there may snidely remark, “What exactly does he do best?!” To the haters out there, Kevin, I say, we know. All of Malden knows my friend. And we love and respect you for that! Get better, my friend, with the huge personality not only because you promised me some nice Malden Police swag, but because I miss you barking out for all to hear, “Don’t stand around, buy a round!” Speaking of North Shore Acappella, I just love running into the pride of Medford (via the North End) Steve Gambale whenever I pop into DD’s on Lake Street in Peabody. Steve’s a great guy whom I befriended at the old Y while both were members of the Health Club during its glory days. Steve also appeared in Street Magic as well as just about every a capella group on the North Shore. The complete package, Steve’s charm, voice and Hollywood good looks has made him a fan favorite for years. I am happy to call him a friend.

Time for Part 4 (and the last) of my top 200 basketball players in the history of my life while living and playing basketball in the best hoop city in the Commonwealth, Malden! This is by no means a definitive list. I’ve got great memory recall, but Father Time has diminished my ability to think on my feet as quickly as I did in the past. These are ballplayers that I have played with, and against, in my lifetime. If I have played with or against you and have excluded you or made a glaring error, please let me know, and we’ll rectify that after I have carefully examined all the facts. All have lived in Malden at one point in their lives or were born here. The list is in no particular order. Joe wasn’t the best I ever played with/against at number one (close though), and number 200 (Joe Frauton) was not the worst. Again, if I did not play against or with you in those glorious hoop days of yesteryear, that is why you ain’t mentioned here (or you just weren’t that good – insert smiley face). Again, please take into account that this is a list of players from my era. Players from the ’64 MHS State Champ team would not be included – never played with or against them. Also never played with Angel, Willie or Buddy Arthur.

I miss him holding court, spread out, cane by his side, at a round table in front of the bar, barking out his opinion for all to hear – most times just to get a rise out of us – on occasion, when he was in a good mood, explaining to admirers the fine art of the kitchen with his 60plus years of culinary expertise.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 4, 2022 Page 7 FUTURE | FROM PAGE 1 den Public Schools. Hogan’s report was made in coordination and consultation with City Controller Charles “Chuck” Ranaghan, who was also present at Tuesday’s meeting. There was somewhat of a siren set off with regard to a potentially significant “budget buster” item down the road, as Hogan described a “Top Six” of existing budget items that were significant to the financial planning responsibilities of both present – and future – Malden city officials. The largest “Budget Future” line item of concern described by Hogan was the $266 million Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability. OPEB covers the medical insurance coverage costs the City of Malden provides to municipal employees who are vested after a certain number of years of employment. The $266 million was the liability the city is obliged to fund for employees no longer actively employed who are eligible for the medical insurance subsidy. While Malden at this time nor in the future will not be required to provide funding for the entire OPEB all at one time, it is a liability and the city is responsible for administering that figure, Hogan explained. He said that while the state at this time is not requiring communities to apportion direct fiscal budgetary funding to the health insurance liability, as it does to the pension liability figure, he expects that it will do so at some future date. “When that day comes, $266 million is a big number; it’s real and it’s #1,” Hogan said. To put the figure in perspective, Hogan said the #2 item on the budget impact list was the municipal pension liability figure, which he said is approximately $100 million. He said the city provided $14.8 million in the present fiscal year budget toward that liability figure. “So, when you look at $266 million, you can see where that will go,” he said. The city’s chief financial strategist did tell the City Council that Malden is in a better position financially on this issue than many communities of its size and in its region for two key reasons. Hogan said Malden has already funded over 70% of the pension liability, which is far above many communities. He told the City Council the state-mandated budget item assigned to the employee pension liability figure is designed to increase a minimum of 8.6% annually. “We’ve done a very good job as a community on our pension liability The city’s chief budgetary stra t egist, Ron Hogan, addressed the Malden City Council at last Tuesday’s meeting. (Advocate Photo) fund. When you hear of states like Florida and Rhode Island with these pension fund crises, they are about in the 15 to 20% funded range.” The second reason Malden is in better shape than some other communities in the region, Hogan said, is the fact that a new ad hoc City Council committee is now in place to examine and discuss longterm financial matters – established for the first time this year by City Council President Craig Spadafora. “This is something that not many other communities have in place. I really have not heard of it in any of our cities and towns,” Hogan said. Hogan added that a good example of an item to be discussed was the pension liability fund. Due to go up 8.6% next year, it would be a budgetary line item increase of $1.1 million, an increase that would not be sustainable annually given the existing resources. A third issue on the budgetary impact list is the discrepancy in the Chapter 70 education funding from the state and what the state has determined Malden is assessed to fund locally. Hogan gave a presentation on this sole issue to the City Council earlier this fiscal year, this past November, where it was stated Malden is expected to pay what local city officials have determined is a disproportionate amount for education funding, as compared to similar communities, such as Everett and Revere. He reiterated that Malden officials have been in frequent contact with our local representatives at the state level – State Representatives Paul Donato, Steven Ultrino and Kate Lipper-Garabedian and State Senator Jason Lewis – to request that gap be lessened. It is a liability for Malden financially, and it has to be addressed to get the city to a more equitable result from the state Chapter 70 funding formula, Hogan said. Another impactful budgetary item in the near future is the expected decision on a lawsuit made by a group of past and present Malden Police officers regarding detail pay, which is called Owens et al v. City of Malden. Hogan says there is a potential municipal liability for the city in that case of $8.25 million. The status and condition of the two major parking garages in the downtown district of the city – the Jackson Street Parking Garage and the Central Business District (CBD) Garage – is another budgetary impact item. Both garages were formerly maintained and run by the Malden Redevelopment Authority (MRA), which in 2021 was dissolved and reconfigured as a wholly municipal office, Strategic Planning and Community Development. The two garages were deeded to the City of Malden as a result and are now its responsibility. The two garages, particularly the CBD garage, are in various stages of disrepair, and need work in regard to both safety and sustainability. About $3.5 million was spent by the MRA on ongoing repair projects prior to the garages being turned over. Hogan said some major expenditures have to be made in the coming years to achieve the safety and general repair needs and goals for the two garages. He estimated $10 million is a base figure for those repairs and enhancements. Number Five on the “Top 6” list is a new addition: the coming assessments to the City of Malden as its share of the new, $317 million Northeast Metro Tech high school building in Wakefield. Like all of the 12 sending schools, Malden has been assessed a portion of the funding cost, with that total figure at $36.3 million spread over a 30-year bond, which would make it approximately $1.2 million per year, beginning in Year 3 of the construction in 2025. The final “Top 6” item is the expected, future costs of repairs and mandatory maintenance of the Malden Public Schools buildings, particularly the five K-8 school buildings, Beebe, Ferryway, Forestdale, Linden and Salemwood, which were all built close to 25 years ago, from 1997-2000. “They were all built around the same time, close to 25 years ago, and they are starting to show some of the same maintenance needs, like leaky roofs, for instance, that buildings require of that age,” Hogan said. Several Councillors had some questions on a number of the points made in the presentation, with Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon and City Council President Spadafora concurring with Hogan that productive discussions are expected to originate and continue in the future with the new Long-Term Finance Committee.

Wednesday’s salvo at the Malden High Model UN was a perfect example of how real life can interject into real time when a historical event of the invasion of Ukraine occurs. The Ukraine delegate directly tied the newly initiated war with the ceasing of any progress or continuity of education in that country, with the invasion bringing academic pursuits to a standstill. “The Ukraine invasion by Russia was being discussed in all our History classes the past week, since it began,” said Malden High Social Studies Teacher Leader Kerri Veritas, who this year and for the past three years coordinated the Model UN participation at Malden High School.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: As is customary during the February school vacation week, the Legislature met in only brief informal sessions and there were no roll call votes in the House or Senate last week. BILLS APPROVED BY SENATE AND STUCK IN THE HOUSE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS – Several bills have received unanimous or near-unanimous approval in the Senate as far back as September 2021 and are still stuck in the House Ways and Means Committee which has not acted on them and has not sent them to the full House for debate and a vote. Beacon Hill Roll Call asked House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) and House Ways and Means chair Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston) for a comment on the four Senate-approved bills being stuck in the House and Means Committee. “They’re under review," was the brief three-word response from Ana Vivas, Mariano's spokesperson. Mariano’s office also cited five bills that have been approved by the House and are currently stuck in the Senate Ways Means Committee. Despite repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call, no one in House Ways and Means Chair Aaron Michlewitz’s office responded to our request for a comment. Here are the four bills and how local senators voted on them: CHANGE GENDER ON BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND MORE (S 2533) On September 23, the Senate 39-0, approved a bill that would allow people to change their gender on their birth certificate, driver’s license, learner’s permit, identification card or liquor purchase identification card, including to a non-binary option other than male or female. The possible designations include “female,” “male” or “X” which would indicate that the person is another gender or an undesignated gender. The gender can only be changed by an adult, an emancipated minor or the parent or guardian of a minor. No documentation is required but the person changing the gender must submit an affidavit executed under the penalty of perjury attesting that the request is to conform to the person’s gender identity and is not made for any fraudulent purpose. The bill also directs the state to develop a plan for allowing a non-binary option on all state forms and instances where a gender choice is required. “People know what gender they are,” said sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton) at the time the measure was approved. “This bill simply allows for gender identification and IDs as diverse as our people. The Legislature must ensure that all of our constituents have access to IDs with nonbinary gender markers as beautifully diverse as they are.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes BENEFITS FOR MILITARY FAMILIES (S 2558) On October 21, the Senate 39-0, approved legislation that would support military families who relocate to the Bay State by providing career stability for the spouses of service members and education for their children. Provisions include making it easier for military personnel and their spouses who move to the Bay State to get a Massachusetts professional license, if their job requires one, so that they can continue their civilian careers and provide for their families without interruption; requiring the Commissioner of Education to issue a military spouse a valid certificate for teaching if he or she holds a valid teaching license from another state; allowing children of military members to register and enroll in a school district at the same time it is open to the general population by waiving the proof of residency requirement until the student actually begins school; creating a purple-star campus designation for certain schools that are military-kid friendly and show a major commitment to students and families connected to the nation’s military; and requiring that a child or spouse of an active-duty service member in Massachusetts continue to pay the in-state less expensive tuition rate at state universities even if the service member is assigned to move out of the state. “Our commonwealth has always led from the front in terms of taking care of our active-duty service members and veterans, but I strongly believe that there is more we can do for the spouses and children of service-members who also call Massachusetts their home,” said sponsor Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield) at the time the proposal was approved. “Anyone who has worn the uniform or has a family member who has worn the uniform knows that the sacrifice of military service goes far beyond the individual service member. By passing this legislation, we are saying to these families that we understand their challenges, that we recognize the great sacrifices that they have made and that we are committed to doing everything we can to support them.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes INCREASE MENTAL HEALTH ACCESS (S 2572) On November 17, the Senate 39-0, approved a measure known as the Mental Health Addressing Barriers to Care (ABC) Act that will make mental health care more accessible in the Bay State. “Today, the Massachusetts Senate took vital strides toward transforming mental health care in Massachusetts,” said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro) at the time the bill was approved. “By unanimously passing [this bill], we affirm that mental health is just as essential as physical health and take a leap forward to ensure that all people in Massachusetts BHRC| SEE PAGE 18 A 6-piece classic rock band featuring music from the 60’s to the 80’s.

The girls’ time of 1:44.63 is an in-season best and good for a ninth-place fi nish overall. Joining her on the relay was Albuquerque as well as team. We are incredibly lucky to be part of a school that wants to see these young men and women succeed and will go above and beyond for them. It was a phenomenal season and only sets us up to keep rolling into next year.

Coach Andrew DiGiacomo is pictured in back. (Photo Courtesy of MVRCS) Athletic Association Division 2 State Championships at Boston University. The girls competed against some of the top teams in the Commonwealth and emerged with a 19th-place fi nish, highlighted by multiple season and lifetime best swims. In the fi rst event of the day, the girls 200 medley relay team of freshman Lana Albuquerque, eighth-grader Britney Nayiga, senior Deanna Guo and eighth-grader Isabella Cirame fi nished with a time of 1:56.82, which was good for a 12th-place overall finish. The girls cut almost three full seconds off their previous best time. The relay was highlighted by Guo’s 27.57 butterfl y split and Nayiga’s 32.94 breaststroke split. Guo concluded her epic career in the Maroon & Gold by continuing to lead the Eagles in state championship meets. First up in the 100 butterfl y, she shaved three seconds from her previous seed time to fi nish in 10th place. In her other individual race of the day, the 100 backstroke, Guo continued to drop time, fi nishing in 1:01.61 for a ninth-place fi nish. Guo will be forever remembered in Eagles swimming lore as the highest point scorer – having scored in both sectionals and state meets since seventh grade. Next up, in the 200 freestyle relay, Guo once again led a great group of young Eagles to eighth-graders Britney Nayiga and Isabella Cirame. Guo’s split of 25.05 was one of the fastest anchor splits in the fi eld. Nayiga completed her eighthgrade campaign in the 100 breaststroke. As in her sectional swim, she was out fast in the fi rst 50 and used a strong kick to bring the race home in a lifetime best of 1:13.27; while fi nishing just off the scoring in 19th place, she was the fastest freshman or eighth-grader in the event. Finally, in the 400 freestyle relay, a glimpse of a bright future was shown in spectacular fashion as Albuquerque, freshman Crystal Tang, Cirame and Nayiga fi nished with an in-season best time of 3:59.07 with each girl swimming better than their seed to drop almost three seconds off their entry time. “This group of girls continues to impress me with their hard work and dedication all season. This was never more apparent [than] in the way they attacked every single race at BU today,” coach Andrew DiGiacomo said. “I would like to further point out the signifi cant impact Deanna Guo has had on our program and how much we will truly miss her next year.

Eagles girls’ basketball team falls in first round of state tournament T he girls’ basketball team of Mystic Valley Regional Charter School saw its season come to an end, falling to Ayer-Shirley in MIAA Division 5 state tournament action, 3935, before a spirited crowd, many of whom made the onehour-plus trip from the Malden area. Engaged in a defensive struggle for most of the contest, neither team was able to pull away. As the fourth quarter began, the Maroon & Gold (10-11) got within two of the Panthers but were never able to get any closer. At the game, senior captain Mairead St. Clair made her final visit to the hardwood a memorable one with 10 points and 13 rebounds. Fellow senior captain Lili Palomino added six points. In what is a great sign of things to come, freshman Bailey DeLeire – a starter all season long – continued her strong play at point guard while contributing nine points. “While the outcome certainly stings, it doesn’t not take away how hard this team played and competed tonight and all season,” said Head Coach Jonathan Currier. “Ayer-Shirley played a unique style which we didn’t have much time to prepare for, and credit them, they are a good basketball team. Our team is solid as well. I was glad to see Mairead finish what has been a stellar career with such a strong effort.”

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 4, 2022 OBITUARY Stephen Frederick Hill S ea cap - tain, artist, pilot, craftsman, and much-loved friend left this world and arrived in his eternal home on February 20, 2022. His sudden death is a shock to his family and to his many close friends. He was born on April 7, 1954, the fourth of five children born to Frederick and Theresa (Procopio) Hill. His first day was off to a rough start with several unexpected birth complications. He was rushed to Children's Hospital, fighting for his life, and to the doctors' amazement, he survived! He grew up in Malden, an inquisitive kid always full of ideas. As hard as it is to believe now, his parents were alarmed that he couldn't say a word 'til he was 3 years old, and then he jumped right into talking in complete sentences. Stephen was prayed for before he was born, and his mom and dad raised the family under the guidance of the Bible which was read in their home each day. It was here that he learned about Jesus, believed the Gospel and received the promise of everlasting life, which he is enjoying right now. The family was hospitable; there was always room for extra people around the table, and an unspoken credo that food was at the ready for "company." Unexpected visitors, missionaries, and friends were welcomed day or night--no exaggeration. That generous lifestyle paved the way for Stephen's legendary meal creations – his amazing dinners for friends on land or on the water, for every occasion and celebration; or whipping up a gourmet supper on an ordinary weeknight with a friend or two- lighting the candles, plating the food, all with that twinkle in his eye. The experiences of his life POST ELIGIBILITY TREATMENT OF INCOME MassHealth issued Eligibility Operations Memo 21-13 outlining the post eligibility treatment of income (PETI) process for MassHealth members enrolled in the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) and who had income at or below 300% of the Federal Benefit Rate (FBR) at the time of the member’s initial MassHealth eligibility determination. PETI rules are used to calculate a member’s contribution to the cost of care in a community MassHealth situation (as opposed to someone on MassHealth in a nursing home). For PACE members who had initially been approved for MassHealth benefits with income at or below 300% of the FBR, but who later experience an increase in countable income, causing their income to exceed 300% of the FBR, they may retain their MassHealth Standard benefit and remain enrolled in PACE by spending the excess income on medical expenses in order to reduce their countable income to 300% of the FBR. These members will be subject to a monthly patient pay amount that is equal to their excess income over 300% of the FBR, less any allowable deductions. Community MassHealth programs such as the Frail Elder Waiver Program and the PACE Program are subject to income limits. When you initially apply for one of these programs, your income needs to be below the required level. For 2022, 300% of the federal benefit rate is $2,523, as the FBR for a single person for 2022 is $841. Therefore, your income must be below $2,523 in order to initially qualify for the PACE program. This Eligibility Operations Memo was effective on July 14, 2021. It is important to know that someone enrolled in the PACE program will not become ineligible simply because of an increase in countable income, regardless of the source of the income. Rather, MassHealth will simply calculate how much of the excess income will have to be spent down on medical care. Therefore, if you initially qualify for the PACE program as a result of your countable income being at or below 300% of the FBR, you should be able to continue in the PACE program even if your income subsequently increases and puts you over that level.

Steve, he had a wealth of adventures on the sea and in the air, and many stories to tell. He loved music. He had the innate ability to design and build -mostly starting with a sketch on napkin- homes and kitchen addons on a grand scale. He never ran out of ideas. He was such fun to be with, and would stop at nothing to offer help when needed. He had friends everywhere he went, and somehow he kept them all, even when he moved away. In 2015, he came to Falmouth. The perfect spot- not too far from his family on the North Shore and right near the harbor. It didn't take much time to become a part of the community here – boat people, fishing people, church people, families he came to know and love, and a fresh audience for his jokes. ~ Legal Notice ~ City of Malden Community Preservation Committee Public Information Session Notice/Monthly Meeting Agenda Wednesday, March 16, 2022, 6:00 PM Public Information Session & Monthly Meeting will be held remotely via Zoom On June 16, 2021, Governor Baker signed into law An Act Extending Certain COVID-19 Measures Adopted During the State of Emergency.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 4, 2022 Page 15 OBITUARY Pauline “Polly” Shea Following 101 years of love, laughter, and inspiration, the last of the beautiful Shea sisters of Malden, Pauline (Polly), entered eternal life on February 28, 2022. She joined her beloved sisters Mary Richmond and Barbara Driscoll as well as brother Peter, along with their parents Honora (Regan) and John J. Shea. Strong-willed, smart, and sassy with a huge heart and boundless energy, Polly was a force. She seized each day with determination and enthusiasm, always dressed with flair, and ensured that everyone she met left her presence feeling better than before their encounter. Polly was a consummate storyteller and the heart and soul of every social gathering she attended (and she never declined an invitation). She spoiled everyone around her, treating family, friends, and those she hadn’t quite yet met (there were no strangers) to coffee at Melrose’s former Breads ‘n’ Bits of Ireland and D’Amici’s and so much more. She modeled self-care, calling it “Be Good to Polly Day” and wanted everyone around her to do the same for themselves. Her zest for life, service to others, wit, and wisdom were experienced by so many and beloved by all. There was only one Polly Shea. Born only three years after World War I, as a young teenager, Polly assumed the role of maternal caretaker following the untimely death of her mother. She helped her father raise her younger sisters and manage the household while completing her education at Cheverus High School and business school; at which time she worked her way up the administrative ladder at the John Hancock Life Insurance Co. in Malden retiring as Office Supervisor, one of the first women to hold that position. She leaves her beloved nieces and nephews Sheila Driscoll and Cliff Brown, Colleen and Scott Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/ Advocate.news.ma Kinder, James (Jeff) and Margaret Driscoll, John (Jack) and Marion Driscoll, Gail and Mike Burati, and Julie and Francis (Fran) Nolan. She is also survived by her great-nieces and -nephews Alyssa, Ashley, John Peter, Ryan, Andrew, Lizzie, Claire, Dylan, Frankie, Marissa, and Danny as well as three great-grandnieces and two great-grandnephews. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Polly’s honor to the Fitch Home, 75 Lake Ave., Melrose, MA 02176 or Cheverus Catholic School, 30 Irving Street, Malden, MA 02148. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ CITY OF MALDEN INVITATION FOR BID The City of Malden invites sealed bids in accordance with M.G.L. c.149 from Contractors for: MALDEN PUBLIC LIBRARY BASEMENT ARCHIVES RENOVATION Email purchasing@cityofmalden.org for Contract Documents.

Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 4, 2022 MVRCS | FROM PAGE 3 students performed the data entry for most survey responses after a volunteer request from the mayor’s Office. At the project’s completion, the report was provided to the school for documentation of student hours. Although MAPC is a decent organization, its conflicts on this matter cannot be ignored. MAPC is effectively an arm of the State of Massachusetts and has a stated agenda. It cannot possibly be an unbiased arbiter in this process. Its mission is to “promote Smart Growth,” achieved, in large part, by lobbying cities and towns to adopt the state’s housing agenda. That agenda has established a target for Malden to add over 6,900 housing units by 2030. The implementation of MAPC’s agenda will exacerbate current traffic concerns in Maplewood Square to a far greater extent than MVRCS’s planned growth. Traffic congestion is almost always cited as a problem in Maplewood Square, and, in the last decade, MVRCS has added almost none, due to an enrollment cap that was only recently increased. We acknowledge that traffic is increasingly problematic during rush hour and other times during school days. Schools like MVRCS, however, have not collectively added any traffic to the Salem St. corridor in the last decade. What has, in fact, compounded problems with traffic congestion is the city, in many respects steered by planners from MAPC, introducing more than 3,000 housing units (many on the east side of town in the Overlook Ridge Development). This growth has filled our streets with thousands of cars each day. Creating many more housing units in the City of Malden, one of the five most densely populated cities in the Commonwealth, is not the answer for Malden nor Maplewood. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI21P2755EA Estate of: Rena Ellen O’Neill Also known as: Rena E.

DECRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE March 4, 2022 With the 2009 Land Use Plan, the 2010 Master Plan, and the attempted 2018 Housing Needs Analysis, MAPC has demonstrated that it is unable to act in a manner not in accordance with its mission when it conducts such work for the city. MAPC has a well-documented track record of producing results that are consistent with its mission and organizational goals, rather than what the majority of the citizens of Malden would prefer. Because MAPC cannot ignore its mission, we believe the city should seek an unbiased private planning entity to provide technical assistance in creating the neighborhood plan. It is surprising and insulting that MVRCS was not invited to participate in the February 28, 2022 meeting of the Future of Maplewood Square Committee, particularly given that MVRCS is currently engaging in productive negotiations with the mayor and the City of Malden. MVRCS is Maplewood Square’s largest property owner with over 135,000 square feet of land within the defined Maplewood Square historically surveyed area. The school is also the square’s largest lessee, renting over 70,000 square feet of land from the Archdiocese of Boston (Saint Joseph’s Parish). MVRCS is the area’s largest employer, with a multimillion-dollar payroll and more than 150 employees working in Maplewood, and we are LEAGUE | FROM PAGE 10 road tonight (6:30 tipoff) to take on the North High School team in Worcester.

Included were UNAGB Education Director Emma Belza, Director of Development & Community Outreach Alex Bostian and Education Program Manager Alexander Beatty, among others on hand. “They do a tremendous job,” Veritas said of the UNAGB staff. UNAGB staff leaders were seen encouraging swift responses to a variety of opinions and statements made among the delegates, with over 40 students assigned to represent various nations at each of the multiple daylong sessions this week. In a spirited debate on Wednesday, in one of the two sites, the MHS library, Beatty helped student-delegates break down the debates into which countries were able to offer assistance to other nations, and others who were seeking assistance – and in what forms. All of this was connected to the overlying thematic issue of Global Educational Equity. “The Model UN is one of the activities our students really look forward to each year and it is such a valuable addition that enhances our curriculum,” said Malden High Principal Chris Mastrangelo. “We are grateful to Ms. Veritas and her colleagues in the Social Studies department for coordinating Model UN as well our partners at United Nations Association of Greater Boston for all of their assistance.”

(On a side note, my father was a West End guy to the core although he left there in 1960 after only 29 years. He lived in Malden some 60 years but never considered himself a Maldonian. West End forever, as they say). I did not write his amazing obit but somebody asked me if I did. Particularly this line, which I could not have written any better (and wish I did): “Initially, he worked as a milkman with his father at Sunnyhurst Dairy, but soon found his calling at Tricca’s, Anthony’s, and Brandano’s restaurants, where he built a reputation as a hardworking and talented chef whose food brought people together and buttons apart.” I was one of the many, many people that enjoyed Richie’s cooking over the years (and yes, for you wise guys, there are a few of my buttons missing along the way). I wholeheartedly agree that Richie used his remarkable ability to connect with people through his culinary skills. His spectacular soups along with other outstanding dishes, like stuff ed artichokes and his Abruzzi sauce, did indeed secure the ties that bind to a generation of Maldonians and beyond. Once again, I completely agree, his concoction, skiffyskaf, happily filled the ever-expanding bellies of countless contented people over the years. (What do you say, Dom?) Postscript 1: My sincerest condolences to his wife Toni Marie and two daughters Lindsay and Julie Ann. The line “they will never fully recover from the loss of their devoted and doting father” really struck a chord with me. Richie was a very proud father. He spoke of his family often. He loved his daughters and simply adored his grandchildren. That is for sure. Postscript 2: “Happy trails to you (Richie), until we meet again, happy trails to you, keep smiling until then...” To me, my friend, it was always the way you rode the trail that impressed me. Life carries on, dude (not quite the same though), and our love for you will continue. Keeping you in my thoughts and my heart every Ballantine Ale along the happy trail, big guy.

DECRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE March 4, 2022 a y avvy S iorenniiooro a avvyavvy iori Scared of Shingles Dear Scared, Great question! Many healthcare professionals across the country have been urging their older patients to get the shingles vaccine (in addition to the COVID-19 vaccinations) during the pandemic because getting COVID-19 can increase your chances of developing shingles. And the more severe case of COVID you get, the greater your risk for shingles. The reason for this is because when you contract COVID-19 your immune system becomes compromised fi ghting off the virus, which gives shingles – a virus that already exist in your body if you’ve had chickenpox – a chance to reactivate. Here’s what you should know about shingles, the shingles vaccine, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations. What are Shingles? Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a burning, blistering skin rash that aff ects around 1 million Americans each year. The same virus that causes chickenpox causes shingles. What happens is the chickenpox virus that most people get as kids never leaves the body. It hides in the nerve cells near the spinal cord and, for some people, emerges later in the form of shingles. In the U.S., about one out of every three people will develop shingles during their lifetime. While anyone who’s had chickenpox can get shingles, it most commonly occurs in people over age 50, along with people who have weakened immune systems. But you can’t catch shingles from someone else. Early signs of the disease include pain, itching or tingling before a blistering rash appears several days later, and can last up to four weeks. The rash typically occurs on one side of the body, often as a band of blisters that extends from the middle of your back around to the breastbone. It can also appear above an eye or on the side of the face or neck. In addition to the rash, about 20 to 25 percent of those who get shingles go on to develop severe nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia, or PHN) that can last for months or even years. And in rare cases, shingles can also cause strokes, encephalitis, spinal cord damage and vision loss. Shingles Vaccine The vaccine for shingles called Shingrix (see Shingrix.com) provides much better protection than the old shingles vaccine, Zostavax. Manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, Shingrix is 97 percent effective in preventing shingles in people 50 to 69 years old, and 91 percent eff ective in those 70 and older. Shingrix also does a terrifi c job of preventing nerve pain that continues after a shingles rash has cleared – about 90 percent eff ective. Because of this protection, the CDC recommends that everyone age 50 and older, receive the Shingrix vaccine, which is given in two doses, separated by two to six months. Even if you’ve already had shingles, you still need these vaccinations because reoccurring cases are possible. The CDC also recommends that anyone previously vaccinated with Zostavax be revaccinated with Shingrix. You should also know that Shingrix can cause some adverse side eff ects for some people, including muscle pain, fatigue, headache, fever and upset stomach. Shingrix – which averages around $205 for both doses – is covered by most private health insurance plans including Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, but there may be a cost to you depending on your plan. Contact your insurer to fi nd out. 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. n r by Jim Miller Can COVID-19 Cause Shingles? Dear Savvy Senior, How eff ective is the shingles vaccine and what is the CDC recommendation for getting it? My older brother and sister, both in their fi fties, got COVID a few months back followed by shingles. Do you know if there is a connection between these viruses, and would the shingles vaccine have protected them?

The measure also requires any school offering sex education to notify parents about the school’s sex education curriculum and gives parents the right to withdraw a student from the instruction. Another provision creates a process for parents to inspect the program instruction materials prior to the start of the course. Supporters said that under the bill, local cities and towns still have the authority and power to decide whether sex education is taught in their schools. They said the measure will ensure that schools that choose to teach sex education will have a framework to follow. They noted the bill will prepare students to make healthy decisions and will reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. “I am very proud that the Massachusetts Senate has once again reaffirmed our commitment to this commonsense healthy policy that will ensure our youth have the tools needed to protect their health and form respectful relationships,” said sponsor Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett) at the time the legislation was approved. “This legislation makes it clear that sex education in the commonwealth must be inclusive for all students and emphasize the importance and necessity of consent. “This is a highly controversial bill, as demonstrated by the fact that it has failed to pass for multiple sessions,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) at the time the measure was approved. He was the only senator who voted against the bill. “If this legislation is to pass into law, it would be a direct usurpation of the local school district’s decision-making abilities. Each community has different needs based on their specific demographics, which is why they should have the ability to decide their curriculum. By mandating a statewide sex education curriculum, you directly take away the ability of a community to decide how sensitive topics like sex education are taught.” “It is quite troubling that our elected officials think taking local control away from school districts and parents regarding sex ed curriculum is a good idea,” said Andrew Beckwith, executive director of the Massachusetts Family Institute. “And even worse is the type of graphic content they want to push on students in the curriculum they are sancBHRC| SEE PAGE 19 1.

In what reality does normalizing high risk sexual activity like anal and oral sex for teens or teaching young vulnerable girls how to obtain abortions without their parents’ knowledge or consent result in healthy youth?” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of February 21-25, the House met for a total of 31 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 30 minutes Mon. Feb. 21 No House session No Senate session Tues.

MS-13 is organized into branches operating in local territories. Duggins was a “homeboy” (full member) of the MS13 gang and the leader of the Sykos Locos Salvatrucha (Sykos) clique of MS-13 for nearly 10 years. Achieving promotion to “homeboy” in MS-13 generally requires the commission of a signifi cant act of violence, often including murder. As part of his leadership role, Duggins personally recruited, mentored and encouraged younger clique members to commit violence on behalf of MS-13. The evidence in this case showed that Duggins had been a leader of MS-13 since approximately 2006 and was part of the core group of MS13 members who helped build up the Sykos clique of MS-13 in Lynn. In 2012, Duggins and another member of the Sykos clique participated in an attempted murder during which Duggins stabbed a victim multiple times on a public street. For that crime, Duggins was prosecuted in state court for armed assault with intent to murder and other charges and was sentenced to 54 months in state prison. An investigation revealed that after Duggins was released from state prison in 2016 he went back to associating with MS-13 and helped PRISON | SEE PAGE 21

For example, upon learning of a 2016 murder committed by codefendant Henri Salvador Gutierrez in East Boston, Duggins recruited Gutierrez to the Sykos clique and off ered to promote him to a higher rank based on his prior violence. Duggins remained a leader of the Sykos clique in the years following Page 21 his release from state prison in 2016. During his leadership, members of the Sykos clique continued to engage in racketeering activity and violence on behalf of MS-13. On July 30, 2018, six members of the Sykos clique participated in a horrifi c murder in Lynn where they lured a teenage victim to a playground pretending to be friendly with the unsuspecting victim. At the scene, the gang members surrounded the victim and repeatedly BUILDING FOR RENT Featuring 2500 square feet; 2 offices, and 12 foot overhead door; parking.

An autopsy revealed that the victim suff ered at least 32 sharp force trauma wounds consistent with being stabbed repeatedly, along with blunt force injuries to the head. Although Duggins did not participate in the 2018 murder committed by other members of his clique, the Court noted his leadership role and his longstanding involvement in the gang as reasons to impose the 15-year sentence on Duggins. Following an investigation in November 2018, Duggins was indicted along with fi ve MS-13 members who participated in the July 2018 murder in Lynn. In a related case, the government charged a juvenile coconspirator who was the sixth person involved in the Lynn murder. All six defendants indicted in this case, along with the juvenile charged in the related case, have pleaded guilty. Duggins is the fourth defendant to be sentenced. On Feb. 16, Henri Salvador Gutierrez was sentenced to life in prison. On Feb. 14, Erick Lopez Flores was sentenced to 40 years in prison. On Feb. 15, Jonathan Tercero Yanes was sentenced to 33 years in prison. Sentencing hearings for the two remaining codefendants, Eliseo Vaquerano Canas and Marlos Reyes have not yet been scheduled.
