Due to an unexpected “snow day” on the last day of Black History Month, a number of other reps of Malden Black-owned businesses could not change their plans and come share their stories with Malden High students. Anderson, though, still forged ahead and spent a couple of hours talking about Soul City Yoga and inviting students and staff to come visit her establishment. “I love spending time with young people, and it was a great way to share my experience with yoga and as a business owner,” Anderson told The Advocate. “Some of the students are planning to stop by the studio and they asked a lot of good questions, particularly about running a business.” “We are so grateful that Ms. *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is accurate as of the date posted and is subject to change without notice.

It also invests $86 million in the emergency shelter system to expand the capacity of agencies to meet growing demands for services and provide housing supports to individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Bond authorizations also include $400 million for the MassWorks grant program and $104 million for the Clean Water Trust. Other investments and allocations in the bill will go towards: • Combatting food insecurity: $130 million will be used for a temporary transition period for residents whose COVID-19 Emergency SNAP benefi ts will expire in March. The “ramp-down” funding will cover 40% of the supplemental allotments for SNAP for three additional months after the expiration of federal funding; $2 million will be used to reimburse victims of SNAP “skimming”, or other similar fraudulent, electronically based theft, during the Steven Ultrino State Representative period of April 1 through September 30, 2022; • Funding educational supports: $65 million to sustain the universal school meals program until the end of the 2022-2023 school year; $68 million in Early Education and Care Workforce Stabilization Grants (C3 Grants), which was set to run out of funds in April. These grants are critical for building back the Commonwealth’s early education and care infrastructure. • Extending pandemic era programs and policies: hybrid meetings of public bodies and virtual town meetings for two more years; establishing electronic notarization as a permanent policy; outdoor dining and cocktails to-go for another year. “This supplemental spending bill will provide additional investment in local, regional, and statewide programs, services, and resources while addressing rising challenges in a post-pandemic world,” said State Representative Steve Ultrino (D–Malden). “I am particularly grateful to see the signifi cant eff orts to address increased food assistance needs in our communities. This bill will provide much needed relief to many of our seniors, families and low-income residents as emergency SNAP benefi ts expire this month. Thank you again to all … Representative Donato and Lipper-Garabedian, Speaker Ron Mariano, and Chair Michlewitz for the tireless work on this bill.” “The House has secured funding for an array of important services in this supplemental budget. These important investments will help to improve housing and comKate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative bat food security. The funding will also strengthen our workforce and improve our educational services,” said Representative Paul Donato (D– Medford). “This bill will be a powerful tool to help residents across the Commonwealth. As always, it was great to work with Representative Lipper-Garabedian and Representative Ultrino, focusing on the most critical needs of the community to build an ever improved Malden and Massachusetts.” “I was proud to support the House's FY23 supplemental budget to ensure sufficient resources for state programs – including for food security, emergency housing, and reproductive justice – that are critical to our communities,” said State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D–Melrose). “The ongoing investment in our early education and childcare workforce grants is a personal priority for me, having heard about and seen directly the critical needs in that sector. Additionally, I was glad to join the House in extending or making permanent a number of pandemic-era fl exibilities, including remote reverse mortgage counseling for seniors, fully incorporating a bill I fi led to start this legislative session.” The bill was passed unanimously to be engrossed after the House dispensed with 27 amendments to the bill – with one consolidated amendment. On March 2 the Massachusetts Senate referred the bill to its Ways and Means Committee, and on March 6 that committee recommended to pass the bill with an amendment.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 10, 2023 Page 5 ~ Letter to the Editor ~ School Committee Votes to Retire AEAP program T his month the School Committee voted to “retire” the AEAP program of studies. I thank everyone, who came along on this ride with me of supporting the AEAP or Gifted program in Malden. Some background on the program from former Linden principal Richard Bransfield: “The Linden School opened in September of 2001 and was one of Malden’s theme based and technology focused schools. The theme of the school was the Communications, Humanities and Multi-Media and Magnet/Gifted Education.” More than a decade ago, this is what the attempt was according to the same documentation provided by Bransfield: “We will offer Pre-Advanced Placement opportunities to further challenge our middle school students by providing a rigorous curriculum and instruction to prepare them for advanced classes in high school.” Keeping this brief. The main thrust of this month’s work was this key new resolution of the School Committee in 2023: “The Malden School Committee recommends the retirement of the current AcceleratJoseph Gray Ward 6 School Committee Member ed and Enriched Academic Program (A.E.A.P.) to be replaced with a method and/or program that better meets the needs of the students of Malden Public Schools.” I voted against this resolution to end the program. We are entering into a new era as values and focus has shifted over these past two decades away from much of the original Gifted/AEAP intent. So, I apologize, that I could not do more to steer the situation to engineer a continuation of a Gifted/AEAP program for another generation of children. Going forward, I will help steer MHS Class of 2024 hosts 83rd Annual Junior Varieties show tonight ‘A Nightmare on Salem Street’ debuts at 7:00 tonight at Jenkins Auditorium and guide the new programs being spun up to lead our city’s children into the new century. I will help assist with the new pre-high school Honors program. And I will work as hard as ever to make our Malden Public Schools the best in the state. No river too wide, no mountain too high, no goal too far to keep striving to make our Malden children the best.

In the site plans approved by the Building Subcommittee but revealed only after the 2022 Special Election, instead of using an existing road as access to “the site” abutting it, an entirely new entrance and one-half mile access road would be constructed next to wetlands, then carved through rock ledge, to a perched site scoured of trees and other living things, then blasted extensively to remove the hilltop covering many acres, creating a new “footprint” 60-feet above student parking and other student access to the new building. For the January 2022 Special Election, information posted on the NEMT’s own website as well as reporting in The Boston Globe did not disclose that the Building Committee no longer intended to use the specific building site as recommended by the design consultant. Instead, the term “site” then began to be employed to mean “somewhere generally on the entire 60-acre site,” even though NEMT’s public-facing plans still showed the site as the playing fi eld. Similarly, the materials circulated in support of the ballot item lacked suffi cient detail for the public to know that the Forest was targeted. A signifi cant number of our members are residents and voters in the communities ultimately providing funding for site preparation and building construction, including cost overruns and other contingent expenses to maintain a completed project and comply with state and federal code, such as accessibility accommodations under Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and their continuing upkeep in all weather conditions from Hemlock Road to the new “site.” The issue presented on the ballot was a matter of the fi nancing, whether to accept funds from the Massachusetts School Building Authority and support the balance from the school systems served by NEMT. The need for the “New Voke” was supported by the longstanding pre-feasibility recommendation. Since the only documentation about the plan for the school was the pre-feasibility recommendation of using the playing fi elds, voters that were paying attention would reasonably believe that was the intent. For the NEMT to then publicize their more fi nancially and environmentally costly plan only after the vote can only be described as a bait and switch ~ Letter to the Editor ~ The Mail Must Go Through!

Elderly neighbors are not receiving their medications which are depended upon by the USPS. No manager or supervisor returns calls to anyone; important documents being delivered after 4:00 PM - days of sitting in the Malden Post offi ce. Poor excuses as, “Oh sorry, short staff ed.” So, Maplewood pays the price for all of Malden. Whomever is the Postmaster in Malden, you should be terminated on the spot as this is unacceptable practice. I have contacted Congresswoman Katherine Clark’s offi ce – let’s see how this plays out. If the residents of Maplewood do not get any satisfaction; then my next letter is going to the Postmaster General of the US. Rain, sleet, snow never stops the USPS. Only in Maplewood Malden it does. Signed, Kevin Larson Malden resident maneuver. We stand with the Sierra Club-Massachusetts in its recent letter to the Massachusetts School Building Authority detailing the environmental value of this hilltop forest. The NEMT must also consider the quantifiable environmental services provided by a mature upland forest and the other benefi ts to human habitation it confers. It provides shade that cools ambient air temperatures for the surrounding areas, serves as a windbreak to extreme winds, presents structures and features that aid stormwater retention, erosion control, and groundwater recharge during extreme weather events, and provides a ready means for exchange and sequestration of atmospheric carbon, all in addition to the preserving relative tranquility and enjoyment of place by neighbors and the community at-large. On behalf of our members, we join with the many voices opposing the current site plan. A well designed, suitably sited, and solidly constructed “New Voke” should be built on the fi rst site proposed, with traffi c access via the existing improved right of way, Hemlock Road.

The presentation, which went 98 minutes and was the single longest (time-wise) presentation in recent Malden School Committee meeting history, also included a detailed explanation of a new pilot that is being implemented next school year (202324) in the Malden Public Schools middle schools (Grades 6-8), the Middle Schools Honors Pathway. The Honors Pathway is designed to complement the new curriculum and tie it into a bona fide academic recognition platform. Combined, the new curriculum and new Honors Pathway are a new and innovative platform to both challenge and acknowledge all students in the respective grades, the directors stated, and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ligia Noreiga-Murphy confirmed. Dr. Dias, who was the impetus behind the new Honors Pathway, said the pilot was designed for a lot of reasons, most notably as a means to identify and acknowledge high-achieving Malden Public Schools middle schoolers, and also prepare them for a clear and smooth path to continued Honors level achievement at Malden High School. Students in this program – which will be open for inclusion to all qualified students in Grades 6-8 – would have the distinction of Honors marked and noted on their permanent academic transcript. “It would also make it easier for guidance and other academic staff to create the right path for these Middle School Honors students and help make the right class schedule for them at the high school level, long before they walk in the door to start the new year,” Dr. Dias said.

To do it this way, to have a Program of Studies, it holds us accountable.” “Our job as School Committee members is to create policy, and it is up to the Superintendent to provide curriculum for our students,” Ward 3 School Committee Member Jennifer Spadafora said. “There is a need for students that learn differently; the current program, as it stands, was not meeting the needs of all students, just a few. “This curriculum meets where they’re at and helps them get where they can be. We have had three qualified directors explain to us how this curriculum will work in this fashion, and I can support this model moving forward,” Spadafora added. “For me it is creating a richer environment for [our students] because that is what life is about,” Dr. Dias said. “This illustrates why we are not the ones who make decisions about curriculum and instruction. We hire and trust educational experts who do that for us,” Ward 5’s Adam Weldai said. “For the first time in a while this does address the primary function of what we were looking for curriculum to do, which was grow; meet any kid where they are and find a way for them to grow. [For] some people that’s getting them to grade-level standards; for others it pushing them above grade-level standards, for others it going deeper into grade-level standards.” “It would be to meet every kid where they are; provide targeted and legitimate ways to have a student grow. I appreciate hearing that in the presentation,” Weldai said. “From what I have heard tonight, it is an evolution to where we should be going,” Mayor Gary Christenson, who serves as School Committee chairperson, said. “We will take all into consideration all of your suggestions on all of our Program of Studies and then you will see the draft and vote on it.” “We are willing to listen to your suggestions, but I must say I am surprised why we are having this conversation at this level. Programming, curriculum, instructions are under the purview the Superintendent,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy. Rose Zeiberg said, “I still feel the need for a resolution to get us back on track, considering the history of how we got here, and make sure we are in the right lane, to make sure going forward. this doesn’t happen again.” The resolution reads as follows: “Whereas the Malden Public Schools’ goal is to graduate all students ready to succeed in a diverse local national and global community, “And whereas the Malden School Committee believes in raising the achievements of all students, “And whereas the Malden School Committee requires that the Malden Public Schools district provides every student with access to high quality curriculum, support and other educational resources, “And whereas the Malden School Committee acknowledges that students learn at different speeds than their peers, “Therefore, be it resolved that the MSC recommends the retirement of the current Academic Enrichment and Advanced Program - AEAP to be replaced with programs that better meet the needs of the students of the Malden Public Schools; “Be it further resolved the Superintendent includes in the yearly Program of Studies the method in her program that will be used to address the needs of students who are performing higher level than their peers within their assigned grade; “A specific method in the program will also address the needs of students who are determined to be above grade level and any subject matter using objective data such as IXL and IReady; “These methods and programs are to be subject based and offered at each school in the district serving K-8 students; “The methods and the programs and the program of studies will be updated at least once a year before submission to the School Committee; “The School Committee will receive the programs of studies no later than May of each year for discussion and approval.” After reading the resolution, Rose Zeiberg said, “One of my biggest concerns in looking at how everything happened, was that there was a program, but it wasn’t fostered and we weren’t paying attention to it,” referring to the AEAP. “We are now going to be held accountable. The Superintendent’s Office will be held accountable. [This resolution] puts us on alert so that students who come before us and speak and say they want this – we can answer them that we are meeting your needs,” Rose Zeiberg said.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 10, 2023 Page 9 YOGA | FROM PAGE 2 ing your own business. I have a lot I could discuss.” Also stopping by to visit that day were Malden Mayor Gary Christenson and the city’s Strategy and Business Development Officer, Kevin Duffy. “We are lucky to have such a great business like Soul City Yoga which is so accessible in diff erent ways right in the center of the downtown,” Duff y said. “Soul City Yoga has been a great business partner for the city of Malden,” said Mayor Christenson. “We are certain they will continue to be successful and thrive in downtown Malden.” Anderson noted that city offi - cials, including Duff y, the Mayor and others, have been extremely helpful in both getting her and Bailey’s business started and then assisting further in keeping Soul City Yoga viable during the pandemic years. The assistance was of key importance considering the business opened at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in September 2000, when not much was known about the virus and the future of any type of business. “We just went full steam ahead with our opening as planned, not knowing what the future held, and it turned out fi ne for us,” Anderson said. “The attention of Malden city offi cials made all the diff erence.” Anderson grew up in Lynn and was impressed and invigorated by the therapeutic value of the art of yoga in classes she took there. She fell in love with yoga, to the point of wanting to teach and instruct the Hindu-originated discipline. From there, she used her business acumen and opened the original Soul City Yoga studio in Lynn, before partnering with Bailey, who formerly was a fulltime practicing attorney, as well as a lifelong friend. “I spent a lot of time in yoga classes before becoming an instructor myself,” Anderson said in an interview with the Malden High School newspaper, The Blue and Gold, shortly after Soul City Yoga’s opening in 2000. A key reason why Anderson decided to open a yoga studio was the lack of diversity she perceived in yoga “There weren’t a lot of Black women in the class,” she recalled in The Blue and Gold story. She said classes never felt overly “welcoming” since she was a Black woman herself. “I wanted to change that.” Anderson said, “If you have a dream or an idea, be patient, follow through and don’t give up.” Filmbuilding Malden, Collaborative Filmmaking Project Seeks Filmbuilders U rban Media Arts (UMA, formerly Malden Access TV) is excited to announce the theme and 2023 schedule for the “Filmbuilding Malden: Our City in Motion” program, a unique, citywide program that strengthens the Malden community through collaborative fi lmmaking projects, fi lm screenings and public media art events.

In 2001, on the streets of New York City, Linda Hattendorf met an elderly homeless man who created whimsical paintings of cats and only accepted money from passers-by if they took one of his paintings in exchange. As the tragedy of 9/11 unfolded, Hattendorf invited the artist into her home and learned that he was Jimmy Mirikitani, a Sacramento, California-born man whose family moved from California to Hiroshima, only to fl ee Japan as World War II began. Over time, with remarkable compassion and empathy from Hattendorf, Mirikitani revealed that he is a “Grand Master Artist” who once met Jackson Pollock, and that during World War II he was one of the thousands of Japanese-American people who were forced to go to Tule Lake, one of the most notorious Japanese-American internment camps during World War II. This profound and gripping documentary is a story of art, resilience, compassion and healing and is not to be missed. This fi lm screening is one of Malden Reads’ 2023 events (cosponsored by Malden Reads and the Malden Public Library) for the graphic novel “They Called Us Enemy” by George Takei. Pick up a copy of the book in English or Spanish at the Library or read the e-book via Libby or Hoopla with your Library card.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 10, 2023 Page 13 Malden High Baseball & Malden Recreation host Instructional Baseball Camp Nearly 40 players turn out to learn skills and have some fun at the Salemwood Fieldhouse By Jason Mazzilli T he weather outside last Saturday morning may have been frightful, with a wintry mix of sleet and snow, but that did not chill the atmosphere inside the Sam Fishman Fieldhouse at Salemwood K-8 School on March 4. Nearly 40 Malden boys and girls turned out for the Malden Recreation Department's free Baseball Camp held from 9-11 a.m. The Baseball Camp was free of charge for all who attended, and about 20 players and coaches from the Malden High School Baseball Team, including MHS Varsity Coach Steve Freker, were also in attendance on Saturday to provide instruction and guide the younger players, ages 6-14, in some skills and even a simulated game. “This is the first time we have been able to hold this indoor camp during the winter months in several years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it was nice to see all the interest from the young Malden players,” Coach Freker said. “Our great partnership between the Malden High Athletic Department and Malden Recreation allows this to happen every year.” Malden Rec Coordinator Malden High Baseball players and coaches were on hand for the Malden Recreation Baseball Camp & Clinic held last Saturday morning at the Sam Fishman Fieldhouse at Salemwood K-8 School. (Advocate Photos) Joe Levine was on hand for the event as well, and the Recreation Department provided all of the equipment needed to run the clinic. “The kids had a blast and we had a bunch of extra gloves at the fieldhouse in case they did not have one,” Coach Freker said. “It was a great baseball day for everyone. We can’t wait to come back and work with these playA young Malden player practices getting his grip on the baseball by encircling the laces. ers and others.” The Malden High coach said there was some other news to share as well. “Malden High Baseball is going to continue to partner with Malden Rec in late spring and early summer to bring the Major League Baseball (MLB) Home Run Derby and Pitch, Hit and Run competition to Malden for the first time this year.” “We have already started the Malden Recreation Coordinator Joe Levine talks to the baseball campers at Salemwood just before the camp begins.

Malden Public Schools Athletic Director Charlie Conefrey said that the partnership between the local public schools and the Rec Department has been a valuable link in the past seven years since he had been at the helm in Malden. “We are now doing so many programs together, both instructional and for competition, and it has been a great partnership. It is really valuable to have our Malden High players and coaches working directly with our Malden middle school and elementary school players.” “They are our ‘Future TornaMalden High player Ryan Bowdridge helps a young player with his swing at the Baseball Camp.

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 10, 2023 Mystic Valley Boys Swim Team finishes 3rd at State Championship By Emily Brennan M ystic Valley Regional Charter School’s boys’ swim team fi nished in third place at the MIAA Boys’ Swimming and Diving State Championship meet held on February 17 at MIT. The team score of 176 points was the largest point total ever achieved by an Eagles’ swim team, outscored only by Wayland and Weston, the former the eventual meet champion. Seniors Armando Indresano, Jeremy Cheng and Aiden Acuna-Rosa all made podium appearances in multiple events. The three captains have registered more top three fi nishes at States than any group in Mystic Valley history. In the opening event, the 200 Medley Relay, Acuna-Rosa, freshman Thomas Sodeyama-Cardoso, Cheng and Indresano set the stage for the day. The team swam to a second-place fi nish with a time of 1:39.83, matching the best fi nish for this event in Mystic Valley history and coming within a second of the school record. Getting out of the water and swimming in the very next event, the 200 Freestyle, Acuna-Rosa led most of the way but was touched out at the end by fi ve-tenths of a second, finishing in third place. In his school record-breaking eff ort, ond place, behind Weston and just ahead of Wayland. After the break, Cheng scored 15 points and placed fourth in the 100 Butterfl y with a time of 51.79. Sodeyama-Cardoso finished 26th at 58.03 seconds. Indresano followed in the next event, the 100 Freestyle, fi nishing in eighth place at 49.85. In the last individual event of Eagle Boys swimmers, from left: Jeremy Cheng, Jason Yan, Aiden Acuna Rosa and Armando Indresano. he dropped three seconds from his fastest time ever, fi nishing at a 1:43.89. Freshman Jaden Anthony, one of two freshmen in the state to score in the event, finished sixteenth at 1:53.82, also a personal best. In the 200 Individual Medley (IM), one of the most grueling events, where each swimmer swims eight lengths of the pool (two of each stroke: butterfl y, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle), junior Jason Yan finished 10th at 2:04.71. Sodeyama-Cardoso placed 15th at 2:09.10. The 50 Freestyle was the next event up and Armando Indresano, one of the most accomplished sprinters in Mystic Valley team history, scored six points. Indresano completed the race in 11th place with a time of 22.74. At the halfway point of the meet, Mystic Valley was in sechis high school career, the 500 Freestyle, Acuna-Rosa swam neck and neck with Longmeadow’s Evan Lyons for 20 laps of the pool, ultimately being touched out by eight-tenths of a second and taking home a silver medal. Acuna-Rosa dropped an amazing fi ve seconds from previous lifetime best and set the school record once again. Anthony fi nished a respectable 20th with a time of 5:17.43. The 200 Freestyle Relay followed, and the young team of Yan, Dylan Phan (freshman), Anthony and Christian Antonucci (freshman) placed 11th, scoring a valuable 12 points. Mystic Valley’s young qualifi ers outperformed expectations the entire day, which bodes well for the future. Cheng, one of Mystic’s most accomplished swimmers ever, fi nished his individual career – bringing home the bronze medal in the 100 Backstroke with a time of 54.76. Yan also scored in the event, fi nishing in 12th place in a time of 57.42. In the fi nal event of the day, Mystic Valley’s senior team of Acuna-Rosa, Cheng and Indresano, along with Yan, did not disappoint. They fi nished in second place with a new Mystic Valley record time of 3:18.0, averaging 49.5 seconds per 100yard yard leg of the event. Few teams in this area have ever accomplished such a feat. Acuna-Rosa, fi nishing a spectacular day, led off the relay and set a new Mystic Valley record in the 100 Freestyle at 48.06, breaking teammate Armando Indresano’s record of 48.67, which was set at States last year. Head Coach Andrew DiGiacomo – recently named Boys’ North Coach of the Year by the Eastern Massachusetts Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association – heaped praise on his accomplished team: “It is hard to believe the season is over and this crop of outstanding seniors, who set a new standard for Mystic Valley by finishing third at States two years in a row, will be graduating. Aiden Acuna-Rosa had one of the best days ever by a Mystic Valley Swimmer, setting three new individual Mystic Valley records and fi nishing second three times and third once, including leading off on the record setting 400 Freestyle Relay. This group will be an inspiration for all future Mystic Valley teams.” Singling out the stars after another competitive hoop season Everett, Malden, Revere boys basketball players make their mark in the GBL By Joe McConnell A s the high school state tournament boys basketball brackets shrink to a precious few teams, who are now getting ready for their Elite 8 games, or the Round of 8, as the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) calls them, respective leagues have been announcing their all-star teams, as well as individual awards to their most outstanding individual players and coaches. The Greater Boston League (GBL) is no exception. Crimson Tide trio earns star status Senior guards Steven Cordero, Kevin Ruiz and David DeSouza completed their scholastic hoop careers on this always prestigious squad. Coach Stanley Chamblain could always count on Cordero to consistently be one of the team’s leading scorers, while Ruiz and DeSouza also did their part to spark the off ense at crucial times during the season. As a team, they were 9-5 in the GBL, and 10-10 overall to qualify for the Division 1 state tournament, where they lost to Attleboro in a preliminary round game, 67-55. Patriots fi nish season strong with two allstars in the lead Revere coach Dave Leary’s team also ended up 10-10 overall after a late regular-season surge. They carried that momentum over to the Division 2 state tournament, where they upset Plymouth South, the 27th seed, 55-50, before bowing out to Nashoba Regional, the sixth seed, in a Round of 32 game, 71-40. Off the court, the Basketball Patriots were honored with two league all-stars: senior forward Domenic Boudreau and senior guard Alejandro Hincapie. Golden Tornadoes complete winning season with two all-stars Malden veteran boys basketball coach Don Nally had a good year in the GBL, and it also helped that he had two senior all-stars leading the way. They are center Jonald Joseph and guard Justin Bell. The Golden Tornadoes through the eff orts of these two players ended up with a 12-8 regular-season record. They then lost a close game to host Lowell, the 20th seed, in the Division 1 preliminary round game. GBL all-star roundup Here’s the 2022-23 GBL girls all-star roster: senior guard Tyrese Melo Garcia, senior center Joshua St. Jean, senior forward Nelson Obarisiagbon and sophomore guard Warren Keel of Lynn English; senior guard Sam Orcutt, sophomore guard Justin Marino and senior guard Anthony Teixeira-Kugler of Medford; freshman guard Marvin Avery, Jr. and junior guard Almina Gerado of Lynn Classical; senior guard Franco DiFusco and senior forward Jared Antonelli of Somerville; and junior guard Brauli Quezada Timeo of Chelsea.

Whether behind the scenes or in front of the podium, women can be a source of strength and inspiration. Since the dawn of time, mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives have conquered fear, pain, injustice, and uncertainty on their paths to service and success. That is certainly true of women who have chosen uniformed service to our nation. With heartfelt gratitude, Wreaths Across America pays tribute to the women of our history and honors those who continue to blaze trails into the future. We’ll share the stories of their remarkable contributions to their communities and our nation during the month of March, Women in History Month. Women’s History Month is the perfect time to visit the Wreaths Across America TEACH curriculum for students in grades K-12. Amelia Earhart, the fi rst woman to fl y solo across the Atlantic, was also a nurse’s aide in Canada during World War I. “Lady Lindy,” as she was named, opened the skies to women worldwide. Dr. Mary Edwards Walker shaped history during the Civil War. She was ridiculed most of her life for not conforming to the woman’s wardrobe standards of the day, preferring men’s clothing for comfort instead. Dr. Walker remains the only female Medal of Honor recipient. Yet another historical fi gure to whom women owe a great deal is Susan B. Anthony, a champion for women’s rights, more specifically, the right to vote. History lessons abound with intriguing stories of service and success by women who were soldiers or healers, spies or confi dants, rulers or attendants. You can learn about these extraordinary women and so much more in the Wreaths Across America TEACH curriculum produced by lifelong educator, Cindy Tatum.

There were no roll calls in the Senate last week. $353 MILLION SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET (H 57) House 153-0, approved and sent to the Senate a $353 million fiscal 2023 supplemental budget. Provisions include $86 million for the emergency shelter system to help offset medical costs for migrant families going to emergency rooms for shelter and assistance; $130 million to keep expanded nutrition assistance in place for a few more months; $65 million for the universal school meals program; and provisions to keep some pandemic-era programs, set to expire, in place including allowing restaurants to sell beer, wine and cocktails for take-out and expanding outdoor dining from April 1, 2023 to April 1, 2024. Another provision extends the authority, set to expire in a few weeks, for public bodies, agencies and commissions to hold their meetings remotely until March 31, 2025. “The package … covers a number of different areas that all require our immediate attention,” said House Ways and Means Committee chair Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston). “This modest proposal addresses some of the pressing needs the commonwealth is facing currently. As we begin this legislative session, we are on a quick time frame for some of these programs and this spending bill is one that we need to move fairly quickly to ensure our people receive the services they need.” “The migrant crisis our commonwealth has been facing with these last couple of months has put our will to the test,” continued Michlewitz. “While Washington continues to struggle with finding a reasonable compromise on a broken immigration system, it is the state and our municipalities that have been forced to pick up the pieces.” (A “Yes” vote is for the budget.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL – A look at some bills filed for consideration in the new 2023-2024 Legislature: BABY BONDS (SD 711) – Would create a Baby Bonds program in Massachusetts to provide funds at birth to certain low-income residents which can be accessed when the account holder turns 18 to support asset-building activities such as post-secondary education, homebuying or investing in a business. “I am proud to have filed [this bill] to start building an effective and transformational baby bonds program in the commonwealth that will build wealth from the bottom up, and the middle out, to put hard-working residents on a trajectory for wealth-creation from day one," said sponsor Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough). “By automatically investing from day one of a child’s life, we are providing a jump-start to individuals otherwise at a disadvantage by beginning to narrow the racial wealth gap and giving our poorest residents a fighting shot at the middle class and the American Dream.” CHOREOGRAPHER LAUREATE (SD 2382) – Would create a new state position of Choreographer Laureate to encourage participation in the arts, elevate the dance legacy and current dance in Bay State communities and choreograph performances for important state events and ceremonies. “In my decades as a dancer and choreographer, I’ve witnessed the power of dance and movement to bring people together, and to embrace the joy and diversity of humanity,” said sponsor said Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham). “I filed this bill to help spread that joy and appreciation throughout the commonwealth and uplift the importance of the arts and cultural exchange in our communities.” IMMIGRANTS IN SCHOOLS (SD 2412) – Would require the Department of Education to establish an assistance program for cities and towns that are experiencing sudden influxes of immigrant populations in their schools but are not receiving any additional educational aid from the state. Sponsor Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield) said that he filed the measure to start an important conversation on how we can assist municipalities that are seeing a sudden influx of population in their school districts. “I am pleased that Gov. Healey has also recognized this issue and set aside funding in her supplemental budget to help schools take care of these students. This is a working bill and I look forward to continuing to collaborate with my colleagues to ensure our municipalities have the resources they need.” ACTIVE SHOOTER (SD 157) – Would require the state to adopt the National Fire Protection Association’s standard guidelines for active shooter or hostile events. The bill also establishes an Executive Council comprised of representatives of fire fighters, EMS and law enforcement agencies to develop best practices for all elements of active-shooter response situations. “In recent years, our country has been presented with greater risks and threats when it comes to active shooter situations,” said sponsor Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth). “We are fortunate that here in Massachusetts, we have been proactive and collaborative about protecting the safety of all residents. This legislation seeks to ensure that we remain ahead of the curve and keep our residents safe well into the future.” MAKE ELECTION DAY A LEGAL HOLIDAY (SD 353) – Would make Election Day, every two years, a statewide holiday and provide people who cannot take the holiday off because they are Election Day workers or perform other essential work, with two hours paid voting leave. “The ability to vote is the foundation of our democracy,” said sponsor Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham). “For economically vulnerable communities, the question of voting oftentimes comes down to missing hours at work, holding onto a job or earning pay they rely on to put food on the table. My bill to establish Election Day as a holiday gives voters the greatest flexibility to cast their ballot and make their voices heard.” QUOTABLE QUOTES – Gov. Maura Healey released a proposed $55.5 billion fiscal 2024 state budget. Here’s what they are saying about it. “Our … budget is what Massachusetts needs to meet this moment and build a strong economy, livable communities and a sustainable future. Combined with our tax relief proposal, we will set Massachusetts up for success by lowering costs, growing our competitiveness and delivering on the promise of our people. Additionally, we are taking aggressive action to address our housing crisis by creating the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities led by a housing secretary who will coordinate across state government and with cities and towns to move us forward on our housing goals.” ---Gov. Maura Healey. “Hang onto your wallets. Gov. Maura Healey’s budget will cost you. A $55.5 billion dollar proposed budget, which is 14 percent higher than [ex-Gov. Charlie Baker’s] budget proposed last year. If Question 1 didn’t scare away the taxpayers, a 14 percent increase to state spending certainly will. This budget doesn’t include broad based tax cuts and tax eliminations that Massachusetts desperately needs to compete with states like New Hampshire and Florida. Instead, it explodes state spending, which seems to be rife with abuse by adding generously to payroll expenses, new bureaucracies and giveaways.” ---Paul Craney, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “We thank the Healey-Driscoll administration for a … budget that makes significant and important investments in Jewish communal priorities. Today’s budget provides $1.5 million in vital funding for nonprofit security grants, $1.5 million in the Genocide Education Trust Fund and builds towards greater economic security.” ---From a press release from the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston. “While the governor’s budget proposes several meaningful new initiatives, it doesn’t come close to making the investments necessary to address our workforce challenges, tackle our broken childcare system, end the housing affordability crisis or fix the MBTA and build a 21st century statewide transportation system. Instead, a massive permanent tax cut for the wealthy would most likely lead to catastrophic budget cuts the next time we hit a recession.” ---Andrew Farnitano, spokesman for Raise Up MA Coalition that spearheaded the successful November 2022 ballot question requiring taxpayers who earn more than $1 million annually to pay an additional 4 percent income tax, in addition to the current flat 5 percent one, on their earnings of more than $1 million annually. “Gov. Healey’s … budget proposal includes several positive elements that begin to address the new competitive challenges Massachusetts employers are facing, but rehabilitating Massachusetts’ declining business climate will require far more significant steps.” --- Chris Anderson, President of the Massachusetts High Technology Council. “The filing of Gov. Healey’s first budget proposal comes at a critical time for the commonwealth. With pandemic-era federal support ending for many programs, it is imperative that we set clear priorities to ensure that state spending is maintained at sustainable levels. I look forward to reading through the governor’s budget in more detail and following the upcoming Ways and Means budget hearings to get a better understanding of what her proposal entails.” ---GOP House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). 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 brieflength 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 27-March 3, the House met for a total of five hours and four minutes while the Senate met for a total of four minutes. Mon.

It seems that when Jean and Lauren Fisk were taking bundles from their car, they were greeted by none other than the grunts of....a pig! Sure enough, there it was moseying around their backyard. Well, after some coaxing and cajoling, they finally corralled him in the open spaces between garage and fence and promptly called the Malden police. “‘Hello, this is Jean Fisk. Has anyone reported a lost pig, because I’ve got one in my backyard.’ “After finally convincing the station that it wasn’t a left-over prank from Halloween, and that this pig story was no fish story Officers [Joe] Pontbriand [who grew up on Adams Street and still resides in Malden, by the way] and [John] Amirault were dispatched to the scene. A return call to the station on the walkie-talkie to report the situation was quickly confirmed as Petunia (or Porky) confirmed the situation for them with a few oinks and snorts over the air. “In the few hours of captivity, during which he feasted on sirloin and apples, this adorable 60-pound rust colored intruder quickly captured the hearts of all, especially Valerie Fisk, and it was with some dismay that he was reluctantly sent away in the Animal Rescue League van. But not before he was visited by the curious who had heard Petunia’s performance over the scanners, and by one gentleman who happened upon the scene not knowing about Petunia and calmly inquired if the commotion was due to a possum which has recently visited his home. “And you thought Malden had lost its rural flavor!!” den.org.

Nuno succinctly put into words his feelings that day: “Here we stand in the company of Gods. Doing the classic...’does anyone remember laughter’ pose. It doesn’t get much heavier than this, Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin, when it comes to Rock and Roll singers. I’ll never forget this day... my head was down playing my guitar. The curtain opened. Doves flew in, angels sang, and he entered. I looked up in disbelief. I would have bowed, but I was already looking up. Before I could get a word out, he spoke. Just wanted to pop in and say, I really dig your tunes man. Hole Hearted, very cool. Excuse me? Giants of this caliber, throwing out compliments like confetti. It wasn’t enough that we were about to walk onto the Wembley Stadium stage in London. To perform our Queen medley for Freddie’s aids tribute concert. It wasn’t enough that we were sharing the stage with. Bowie. Daltry. Iommi. Elton. Axl. Slash. Hetfield. U2. George Michael. Def Leppard. Metallica. GnR. Seal. Lennox. Liza. Elizabeth Taylor. Queen. And of course... Plant. And ALL there for the one and ONLY Freddie Mercury. Possibly the greatest day of my life and one of greatest performances and triumph in Extreme’s career. I’ve said it before and say it again and again. A Portuguese immigrant from an island in the middle of the Atlantic who grew up in Hudson Ma. Who woulda thought. It CAN happen to any of us. Want it?

FY24 will be the third year of implementing the SOA (which is on a six-year implementation schedule). The Governor’s FY24 budget also proposes fully funding the Special Education Circuit Breaker (including out-ofdistrict transportation costs) and Charter Tuition Reimbursements, as well as substantially increasing reimbursements for other school transportation costs. “Having led the passage of the Student Opportunity Act as the Senate Chair of the Education Committee, I’m thrilled to see the continuing implementation of this law deliver substantial new resources for our local schools,” said Senator Lewis. “Governor Healey’s full funding of the SOA in her FY24 budget, which I fully expect to receive the support of the legislature, will provide the largest increase in Chapter 70 school funding for Malden in decades.” “Public education is one of the most critical local services we deliver, and the partnership that Malden has with our State Delegation in delivering that is vital to our success. I know that the competition for limited dollars is fierce. The commitment our State Delegation made in passing the Student Opportunity Act was historic, and to see the fruits of that labor with over $9 million more in school funding this year is so greatly appreciated by city leaders and the families we serve. Jason, Paul, Steve, and Kate, THANK YOU! Your partnership, advocacy and passion for Malden will never go unnoticed,” said Malden Mayor Gary Christenson. Now that the Governor has released her proposed FY24 state budget, the state legislature will debate and finalize the budget this spring. FY24 begins on July 1, 2023.

Here’s what you should know. Body Donations Each year, it’s estimated that approximately 20,000 people donate their whole body, after death, to medical facilities throughout the country to be used in medical research projects, anatomy lessons and surgical practice. After using your body, these facilities will then provide free cremation and will either bury or scatter your ashes in a local cemetery or return them to your family, usually within a year. And, just in case you’re wondering, your family cannot not be paid for the use of your body. Federal and state laws prohibit it. Here are a few other things you need to know and check into, to help you determine whether whole-body donation is right for you: • Donation denial: Most body donation programs will not accept bodies that are extremely obese, or those that have infectious diseases like hepatitis, tuberculosis, H.I.V. or MRSA. Bodies that suff ered extensive trauma won’t be accepted either. • Organ donation: Most medical school programs require that you donate your whole body in its entirety. So, if you want to be an organ donor (with the exception of your eyes), you probably won’t qualify to be a whole-body donor too. • Religious considerations: Most major religions permit individuals to donate both their full body and organs, and many even encourage it. If you are unsure, you should consult with your pastor or spiritual adviser. • Special requests: Most programs will not allow you to donate your body for a specifi c purpose. You give them the body and they decide how to use it. • Memorial options: Most programs require almost immediate transport of the body after death, so there’s no funeral. If your family wants a memorial service, they can have one without the body. Or, some programs off er memorial services at their facility at a later date without the remains. • Body transporting: Most programs will cover transporting your body to their facility within a certain distance. However, some may charge a fee. How to Proceed If you think you want to donate your body, it’s best to make arrangements in advance with a body donation program in your area. Most programs are off ered through university-affi liated medical schools. To fi nd one near you, the University of Florida maintains a list of U.S. programs and their contact information at Anatbd.acb.med.ufl .edu/usprograms. If you don’t have Internet access, you can get help by calling the whole-body donation referral service during business hours at 800-727-0700. In addition to the medical schools, there are also private organizations like Science Care (ScienceCare.com) and Anatomy Gifts Registry (AnatomyGifts.org) that accept whole body donations too. Some of these organizations will even allow organ donation because they deal in body parts as well as whole cadavers. Once you locate a program in your area, call and ask them to mail you an information/registration packet that will explain exactly how their program works. To sign up, you’ll need to fi ll out a couple of forms and return them. But you can always change your mind by contacting the program and removing your name from their registration list. Some programs may ask that you make your withdrawal in writing. After you’ve made arrangements, you’ll need to tell your family members so they will know what to do and who to call after your death. It’s also a good idea to tell your doctors, so they know your fi nal wishes too. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

ANSWERS Sandy Juliano Broker/President orried about getting taken in by the latest scam? Concerned about the possibility that your ID could be stolen, and you suddenly fi nd yourself saddled with thousands of dollars of surprise bills? This week (March 5-11) could bring you some peace of mind. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is partnering with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to promote National Consumer Protection Week. The week is devoted to informing consumers of their rights and educating the public about scam and ID theft prevention. You might have rights as a consumer you did not realize you had – rights that could make all the difference in today’s rough-and-tumble, internet-based financial landscape. Check out ftc.gov for a list of upcoming online events designed to give you the information you need to stay safe. BBB’s basics for safeguarding against scams At the very least, guard yourself with these fundamental consumer protection tips: • When someone you have not met asks you to send them money, especially by wire transfer, prepaid debit card or gift card, don’t do it. • Never click on links or attachments in unsolicited emails or texts. That’s how crooks put malware on your devices. • Don’t trust the legitimacy of something by its looks. Emails and websites are easy to fake with copied logos and graphics. • Don’t trust your Caller ID. It can be faked to read any way a crook wants it to read. • Buy online only from legitimate sources with a website address with the “s” in “https.” Look for the lock icon in the address bar as well. • Look up any company you’re unfamiliar with at BBB.org. • Treat your personal identifi cation information like gold. Don’t give it away to anyone who contacts you out of the blue. Your banking, Social Security and insurance numbers should be closely guarded. • Anyone pressuring you to act quickly could be a scammer who doesn’t want you to have time to consider the “off er seriously.” • Get details in writing and read them thoroughly. • Don’t overshare on social media. Con artists can collect your information from such sources and use it to make you think they know you. • Keep your travel plans to yourself and only share them after the fact. • Shred junk mail, old documents, bills and medical paperwork. • Monitor your accounts and check out any unknown transaction, even for tiny amounts (crooks start with small amounts to see if you pay attention). • Use strong passwords and keep software and virus protections updated constantly. Be sure to check the FTC website for National Consumer Protection Week events (https://consumer.ftc.gov/features/national-consumer-protection-week). Check out BBB’s articles on phishing scams, tech support scams and social Security scams. Scammers never quit, but they can be thwarted by staying on top of the latest tips and news from organizations that monitor them, like the FTC and BBB.
