Maldden alld a Vol. 29, No. 13 den AADD -FREEM ayor Gary Christenson led another online community forum that was streamed live on Facebook this week to provide updates on novel coronavirus (COVID-19) information and to answer questions from residents. Together with Police Chief Kevin Molis and Director of Human Services and Community Outreach Karen Colón Hayes, Christenson explained steps the city has taken to contain the spread of the virus as well as strategies for residents to protect themselves. But in addition to off ering the latest news, the forum also reflected the mood of the city and residents, particularly seniors, who expressed fears about the spread of the virus and anxiety about what’s ahead. “As of [Monday] the city of Malden has nine confi rmed cases, and we believe those cases are most likely from interpersonal contact,” Christenson told viewers. “The Health Department has Coronovirus Information – see page 9 CTE CAT AT www.advocatenews.net COVID-19 forum reminds residents safety depends on them By Barbara Taormina Published Every Friday 617-387-2200 been in touch with those aff ected residents and they are cooperating and following all quarantine protocols and precautionary measures,” said Christenson, adding that the number of cases is expected to increase with more testing. There are also 57 presumed cases in the city with an additional 21 people who are self-isolating due to contact with those individuals. Several viewers called in or emailed questions about the confi rmed cases and quarantines. Christenson assured viewers the Health Department is on top of the situation – continually checking with residents who are quarantined. He said the city cannot provide information pinpointing the location of confi rmed and presumed cases. Federal laws protect patient privacy and confi dentiality. Christenson said the one exception to the law allows health departments to share information on COVID-19 cases with fi rst responders, the police, fi refi ghters and emergency medical teams, who may need to respond to calls at those locations. “First responders are, by the nature of their job, required to go to places where others don’t have to go, but we still have to do everything we can FORUM | SEE PAGE 15 Exelon Generation donates $7,500 to Bread of Life M E Friday, March 27, 2020 Better Safe Than Sorry WEB OF CAUTION: In wake of the Coronavirus, caution tape is strewn along the gate and fence at Madison Street Park to remind visitors that the park is closed since the city has closed all city parks and playgrounds.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 27, 2020 Page 3 Police adapt to COVID-19 By Barbara Taormina T he novel coronavirus emergency has triggered some changes at both the Malden Police Department and Malden District Court. Chief Kevin Molis explained that social distancing has led to a new policy that allows minor crimes to be reported over the phone. The change will cut back the personal contact between the police and the public and reduce the risk of spreading the virus. Residents can report minor incidents, such as harassing phone calls, lost or stolen credit cards and cell phone and thefts from motor vehicles, by calling 781-391-7171 and following the prompts to speak with an offi cer. Police are no longer required to visit callers in their homes, and residents can report minor crimes without interacting with a police offi cer. A police report will still be written, but person-to-person contact will be minimized “This is something we’re doing to keep police offi cers safe and free them up for work associated with the current health crisis,” Molis explained in a public service announcement posted on the department’s Facebook page. Some of that additional work involves enforcing Governor Charlie Baker’s new emergency order prohibiting gatherings of 10 or more people. This week, Malden made what was described as a diffi cult decision and closed city parks until further notice. The city originally intended to keep the parks open for passive recreation, but offi cials said people were congregating and failing to practice social distancing, which requires residents to keep six feet of space between themselves and other people. “We looked at what was unfolding; it was an evolving situation,” said Molis during the city’s latest Coronavirus Update that was streamed live on Facebook Tuesday night. The parks were closed to help enforce the ban on small gatherings and prevent the potential spread of the virus. “We are not looking to become the social distancing police,” said Molis. “If we see a violation, it would probably involve a verbal interaction and a warning to maintain social distancing.” Molis said Malden Police continue to be fully engaged in their response to emergency calls. He mentioned a recent overdose that brought police, fi refi ghters and EMTs together to save a life. He also described a 911 call from someone who had fl ulike symptoms. He said he was awed by an EMT who put on a face mask and went in without hesitation to help someone he didn’t know. Molis also spoke briefl y about the impact the health crisis is having on the courts, which are closed to the public until at least April 6. Matters such as arraignments for new arrests, probation violations, search warrants, warrants for new arrests and mental health orders will be heard by the court’s presiding judge during video or telephone conferences. Molis stressed that help is still available for victims of domestic violence seeking restraining orders, protection orders and abuse or harassment prevention orders. “It’s something that can be done through the court sometimes over the phone with an advocate,” said Molis. “But I want to assure the public that their access to protection under the law is being addressed by the courts and the criminal justice system as best we can.” AUTOTECH 1989 SINCE Is your vehicle ready for the Spring Season?!!

I am proud of the work Chair Michlewitz did to move this legislation so quickly.” “I thank Speaker DeLeo and Chairman Michlewitz for ‘stepping up to the plate’ in this very difficult time,” said Representative Donato. “We must all work together to reduce as much as possible the negative impact of this pandemic.” “Ensuring that workers have immediate access to unemployment benefits is critical,” said Representative Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), who is Co-Chair of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Ways & Means. “I want to thank my colleagues in the House and our partners in the Senate and the Baker administration for moving this legislation along so quickly so that people can receive expedited benefits.” On March 18, the bill passed in the Senate, and the Governor signed it into law. Sen. Lewis reports state action on COVID-19 pandemic fter Governor Charlie Baker declared a State of Emergency for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on March 10, the state government has moved swiftly to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and mitigate the impacts of the pandemic and related public health orders on Massachusetts residents, businesses and institutions. In addition to working closely with the House of Representatives and the Baker Administration, the Massachusetts State Senate has also formed an emergency task force to help us better understand and respond to the many impacts of this outbreak on our families, schools, municipalities, businesses and other institutions. State Senator Jason Lewis was appointed by Senate President Karen Spilka to serve on this task force. “The COVID-19 global pandemic is an unprecedented challenge for our communities and our Commonwealth, and it demands decisive and effective leadership from all levels of government,” said Lewis. “In the midst of this crisis, it has been inspiring to see the response from our healthcare workers, first responders, and residents of our communities who are stepping up to support each other.” In addition to federal actions, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has taken many major actions to address the pandemic, including the following: zThe Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) has been activated and is bringing together health, human services, public safety and several other government agencies.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 27, 2020 Page 5 “Malden: Today, tomorrow and yesterday”… Cohousing comes to Malden legendary long-winded storytellers like “Preacher” Jack. AnMALDEN: TODAY | SEE PAGE 13 Bay State Commons Cohousing groundbreaking ceremony. (Photo Courtesy of Paul Sherman) By Peter F. Levine S amuel Clemens’ pen name was Mark Twain. According to legend, a reporter found Twain and asked him to comment on the rumor that he was dead. As the story goes, Twain replied that “reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” During Malden’s gloomiest days when “The Beast That Ate Pleasant Street” (thanks for the nickname Freck!) was acting as Malden’s version of Godzilla leaving death and destruction to the downtown area; barren, devoid of life and activity. The occasional tumbleweed spotted blowing down the wind tunnel that Pleasant had become. Like Twain’s death, though, reports of Malden’s demise were, indeed, greatly exaggerated. Fast forward and along comes the progressive, forward thinking leadership of Jeff’s son Mayor Gary Christenson. His promise to “tear that building down!” in addition to surrounding himself with nothing but the best and brightest have turned Malden’s fortunes around quicker than you can say “Jackie Robinson”! A booming downtown restaurant business bringing the Square back to life much like Joe Morgan of the Boston Red Sox and his “Morgan Magic” in 1988 bringing the Sox back from the dead. “Christenson Magic” continues with that never-say-die attitude! With that said it was a breath of fresh air when I picked up the local papers and saw Bay State Commons breaking ground at the old Legion site on Pleasant Street. The ill-fitting hard hats a distraction – nonetheless it was an historic event. Insert smiley face. Mayor Gary and Councillor-at-Large Steve “Bike Path to the Future” Winslow joined Bay State Commons Cohousing founding members Vladimir Barash and Peter Goldstein leapfrogging into Malden’s 21st century with this innovative concept called cohousing. Scheduled for a late 2021 grand opening – cohousing “balances community and privacy, creating a traditional neighborhood designed for social interaction and developed by residents working with innovative architects.” I really like that! What this means is that the individuals who buy into this concept will become fully invested in their neighborhood and city. They will put down roots right here in Malden. They will become an important cog in this community. The development, a 30unit condo building, will add beauty and serenity to both the architecture and landscape in a neighborhood/city eager to embrace both. Kudos to Ward 2 Councillor Paul “Mr. Cohousing” Condon for having the vision to embrace the idea. I spoke with one of the coolest cats in Malden and a leader in the movement to get cohousing to Pleasant Street, Paul Sherman. As always Paul was cogent and engaging: “the members of this project envision their building as a handsome new addition to an already diverse Pleasant St. Returning green space to what was blacktop and adding a historical marker paying tribute to the memory of what was previously located there – the American Legion Post 69 Club. The building will also be a departure point for its members – to Malden Center for subway and buses taking them to work, to local businesses for socializing, to the new city hall for civic involvement. These people gathered to develop a building and a neighborhood, on their own, will be active citizens of Malden and, inside and outside, their structure will reflect the can-do attitude that got their project completed.” Learn more about Bay State Commons and cohousing at www.baystatecommons.org.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 27, 2020 MHS student’s artwork featured in city’s marketing campaign on teen stress T he Malden Health Department launched a social marketing campaign called “Find Your Calm” aimed at promoting healthy ways to cope with stress among high school aged youngsters. With support from a Partnership For Success (PFS) prevention grant from the State Bureau of Substance Addiction Services (BSAS), the department worked with youngsters and adults from Healthy ME, the Mystic Valley Public Health Coalition, the YWCA and Malden High School (MHS) to create the campaign. The team presented a poster contest to MHS art students that consisted of creating a graphic that represents healthy stress-relieving activities. Focus groups were conducted with other MHS students to help the team choose which graphic should be used for their campaign. MHS freshman Jadelini Mara created the winning artwork that was deemed the favorite and resonated most with the students, and with the theme “Find Your Calm.” “I came up with the picture by thinking what ways I deal with stress on a daily basis, because it’s common knowledge that school is stressful for most kids my age and above,” said Mara. “So, I wanted to go for a happy and uplifting mood for the artwork by using bold colors. The boy in the picture was inspired by one of my friends in my art class, as he was the one who makes our friend group double down by laugher with his jokes.” Prevention research shows J& S LANDSCAPE & MASONRY CO.

Also, the data showed a relationship between self-reported prescription drug (Rx) misuse history and current life stress. After comparing the prevalence of Rx misuse with reported stress, it was determined that MHS students who have a history of prescription drug misuse also report life stress.

Exelon donates $7,500 to Bread of Life Special to The Advocate E xelon Generation, owner of the Everett LNG Facility and Mystic Generating Station, donated $7,500 to Bread of Life. The organization has ramped up efforts to feed those less fortunate in Everett and surrounding communities during the pandemic. In fact, it just started a “drop-and-go” grocery delivery service, in response to the Governor’s StayAt-Home Order. T her e are man y heart-wrenching stories of neighbors struggling during these challenging times, who have found some relief thanks to Bread of Life. One mother contacted the organization recently saying she is a nine-year Everett resident, and the wife of a disabled veteran with four children. With local food pantry supplies depleted and limited transportation options, she has found it difficult to feed her family. When Bread of life told her they would deliver a box of groceries for her family, she was beyond grateful. Later that day she conveyed her thanks: “I just want to thank you again for your help and kindness; my kids were very happy with a full stomach; please be safe and have a wonderful day.” “As difficult as these times are for all of us, it is particularly trying for families who lack transportation and adequate food and other essentials,” said Exelon Generation’s Northeast Region General Manager, Archie Gleason. “Our company is honored to do what we can to make everyday life a bit brighter for our less fortunate neighbors through donations to organizations, such as Bread of Life.” This year, Bread of Life celebrates 28 years as an incorporated nonprofit helping neighbors in need. From its beginnings as a church potluck supper in 1980, Bread of Life now provides more than one million meals a year to residents in and around Everett who have low-incomes and/or are unemployed, homeless, elderly or disabled.

JOE BONO T he City of Malden has made the difficult decision to close our city parks until further notice, effective immediately. We truly understand the benefi ts of being outside during a time like this for fresh air and exercise; however, we must do all we can to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The health and safety of our community is our top priority. The closure of the parks also includes our community gardens. The city’s initial plan was to keep parks open for passive activity and not allow use of playgrounds and other equipment, but after monitoring this for several days, it has been diffi cult to ensure that all our park goers are using the necessary precautions and protocols to protect their health and safety and that of those around them. Residents have been using the bike path for walking, jogging, etc., and that seems to be an alternative that doesn’t lend itself to people congregating. Remember when in public to avoid groups and maintain a social distance of at least six feet.

(Steve Freker Photo) By Steve Freker W hen you think about “tradition” and Malden High School (MHS), many people, events and other remembrances flood the minds of the many thousands of students, educators and administrators who have passed through the school’s hallowed doors through the years. Whether it’s a special teacher who helped illuminate the connection between that classwork and the “real world” outside on Salem Street, or that big project that you worked on with your classmates that earned accolades and richly deserved “well-done” from your peers and mentors, it’s all etched in the fabric of the overall recall of most for their Malden High years. Recently one of the longest-running traditions in school and city history celebrated its 80th birthday when the Malden High School Class of 2021 produced this year’s version of Junior Varieties. Many former MHS alumni carry fond and favorites memories of either participating in or simply being in the audience savoring the performances of their high school friends and peers. A handful of MHS alumni serving as educators or administrators in the Malden Public Schools, including Superintendent John Oteri, himself a 1982 Malden High graduate, remember their participation in Junior Varieties, whether as a performer, or in Supt. Oteri’s case, a member of the stage crew at the 41st Junior Varieties show in 1981. An eclectic mix of music, both instrumental and vocal, dance routines and some running skit comedy, the MHS Junior Varieties show has been wowing packed crowds since 1940. Not only is it one of the longest-running traditions in Malden, it is also one of the oldest such high school shows in consecutive years in the nation, surpassed on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States only by Cony High School of Augusta, Me., whose “Chizzle Wizzle” has been performed for 125 consecutive years. Junior Varieties, traditionally produced by each year’s MHS junior class, is the single-largest fundraiser for a high school class, with proceeds primarily going to defray the cost of the Senior Prom, which could run well into the $100-plus range otherwise.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 27, 2020 Page 11 Lipper-Garabedian sworn in as state representative K ate Lipper-Garabedian of Melrose was recently sworn in as state representative of the 32nd Middlesex District. Lipper-Garabedian, formerly a Melrose councillor-at-large, ran a grassroots campaign in the special election to replace former State Representative and current Mayor of Melrose Paul Brodeur. Lipper-Garabedian was sworn in at the State House with a limited audience due to restrictions put in place surrounding the coronavirus social distancing protocols. Joining Lipper-Garabedian at her swearing in – all at least six feet apart – were Governor Charlie Baker, Governor’s Council Member Terrence Kennedy, House Speaker Robert DeLeo, State Senator Jason Lewis and State Representative Paul Donato. “I’m proud to be on Beacon Hill as the District’s state representative and am ready to hit the ground running” said Lipper-Garabedian. “I ran to ensure that the District is represented by someone who believes passionately about the role government can play in supporting people and their families. That core belief is particularly salient as we grapple with a global pandemic. I wish my husband and our boys could be here to share this special moment, but their absence is evidence of the remarkable time in which we all are living. I remain mindful of the importance, now more than ever, that the communities I represent have a voice in the policies being developed and support addressing the unique needs they will have navigating this crisis.” As a Melrose councillor-at-large, Lipper-Garabedian raised the bar for resident engagement, providing frequent updates on what’s happening at City Hall, composing comprehensive newsletters and responding to constituents.

Even the most conscientious recyclers must be careful to make sure they are following JRM’s strict requirements.

Please give this mandate from JRM your fullest attenSTATE ACTION | FROM PAGE 4 riods and loosening eligibility requirements for those seeking unemployment assistance. zTo limit the spread of COVID-19, the Baker administration ordered the closure of all schools and childcare providers until at least April 6. Similarly, Baker ordered a halt to eat-in dining at restaurants and bars in order to minimize social contact and transmission of COVID-19. The state created a $10 million loan fund for small businesses and nonprofits to provide working capital, and pushed back sales tax and meals tax payments that would otherwise be due this month to help small businesses, especially restaurants, weather the storm. tion in order to avoid materials not being picked up and left on the curb. Improperly recycled bins will receive a tag indicating that the materials are improperly recycled. Some of the most common mistakes include the following: • Not washing out cans/bottles/jars and having food still on them (including milk cartons – these must be thoroughly rinsed) • Pizza boxes or other takeout food containers with food or grease on them • Styrofoam materials (not recyclable) • Using a plastic bag to contain Baker ordered the activation of the Massachusetts National Guard, authorizing the activation of up to 2,000 National Guard members across the Commonwealth, who will be tasked with supporting requests from state agencies for equipment, logistics, warehousing and related duties. The State Senate and Sen. Lewis’s office, following recommended best practices from public health authorities, are implementing “social distancing” practices to limit the chance of COVID-19 transmission, including canceling State House events and tours, holding virtual committee meetings and enabling more work to be done remotely. To that end, Sen. Lewis encourages constituents and advocates to contact his office by email at Jason. Lewis@masenate.gov, by phone City Council’s critical review of budget requests and proposals and championed successful street safety efforts. Most recently, Lipper-Garabedian served as the GenerMiddlesex al Counsel at the Massachusetts Executive Office of Education. She lives in Melrose with her husband Mark, sons Harrison and Oscar, and family dog Baryn. Bread of Life’s your recyclables – recyclables must be in bins/barrels. Residents who avoid these common mistakes will find no disruption in service. Some of our residents are asking “Why now?” and that is a fair question. The answer is that companies who purchase recycled materials are demanding that materials are clean and not contaminated as contaminated materials go directly into the trash stream. For information about proper recycling, contact the Malden DPW at 781-397-7160 or visit cityofmalden.org/trash for a quick reference flyer on proper recycling practices. at (617) 722-1206, or through social media channels, such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The senator’s office will continue to provide constituent services to residents in need throughout the crisis. Lewis also strongly encourages residents to rely only on trusted sources of information, such as the DPH or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for news about COVID-19. Anyone in Massachusetts seeking more information about COVID-19 or the state’s response should visit mass.gov/ covid19 or call 2-1-1 to reach the state’s COVID-19 hotline. Residents should also rely on their local town or city website for upto-date information about preventative actions at the local level and advice from public health authorities.

Please check often for updates. MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 5 other great story from Kevin! He remembers one time when (his late brother) Eddie was playing for the Braves down at Devir Park’s Bruce Field. Eddie Lynch was the coach at the time. Kevin’s dad never missed a game. This night his family – including his pops – were putting up the awnings on the side of the house, preventing him from making the game. Ed came walking back home after the game. His dad asked him how he did tonight. Eddie told him it was a good game and they won. Coach (Eddie) Lynch came over to the house after (he lived close by) and asked my dad if Eddie told him that Unemployment Benefits Chinese Progressive Political Action, Vietnamese American Initiative for Development (VietAID), Greater Boston Legal Services and other organizations are helping Chinese-speaking and Vietnamese-speaking people apply for unemployment benefits and access other resources. Food Assistance he had a great game. Eddie was extremely modest. His dad said, “No, what happened?!” Coach Lynch recounted Eddie’s three home runs and star of the game honors. Fact! Eddie’s dad never missed another game. Or pretty much any of his grandsons’ games also. In the near future I will profile the Mintz brothers, Mayer and Aaron. Mayer is a treasure trove of nostalgic information about Malden of the 50’s and early 60’s and especially the long gone Suffolk Square area. He says there were many characters there pre-Urban Renewal whom he knew and can talk about. Mayer worked as a pharmacist at drugstores in Malden in the 1960’s before he went The City of Boston, in partnership with Project Bread, YMCA of Greater Boston, Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF), and other community organizations, will provide free meals to all youth and teens at various locations and times across the City. Locations in Chinatown include: Wang YMCA of Chinatown, 8 Oak Street (Mon-Fri 8AM-12PM) to medical school and got to know many Malden people doing that job. Mayer was also a ventriloquist who performed at the MHS Jr. Varieties for a couple of years and as a trumpeter in the MHS band – culminating in the highlight of his career performing the MHS fight song solo at football games. He still performs but now it’s as a stand-up comedian at shows in condo developments in Florida. He had an impressive career as a surgeon and appeared on the TV show “That’s Incredible” in the 1980’s. Fascinating fact: Mayer was a pioneer in new kinds of microscopic back surgery.

My husband and I are very nervous about this virus and would like to fi nd out if or when we should get tested, and how Medicare manages it. Nervous Nelly Dear Nelly, Yes! Medicare is indeed covering the cost of testing for the coronavirus, or COVID-19. But be aware that getting a test isn’t as simple as going to your local pharmacy or doctor’s offi ce and asking for one. Here’s a breakdown of what Medicare is covering, along with how to get tested if you think you may have symptoms. Medicare Coverage Medicare (Part B) will cover the lab test to see if you have coronavirus, but only when your doctor or other health care provider orders it. You will pay no out-of-pocket costs for these tests. In addition, Medicare also covers all medically necessary hospitalizations. This includes if you’re diagnosed with COVID-19 and might otherwise have been discharged from the hospital after an inpatient stay, but instead you need to stay in the hospital under quarantine. While there’s currently no vaccine yet to protect against COVID-19, when one becomes available next year, it too will be covered by all Medicare prescription drug plans (Part D). If you happen to get your Medicare benefi ts through a private Medicare Advantage plan, you will have access to these same benefi ts. In addition, many Advantage plans are also expanding coverage of telemedicine, which allows benefi ciaries to consult with medical professionals without having to go to a doctor’s offi ce. Check with your plan for coverage details. When to Call Your Doctor Older adults, age 60 and older (especially those in their 70s and 80s), and people with chronic medical conditions like diabetes, heart, lung or kidney disease are at a higher risk of serious illness if they contract the coronavirus. So, everyone in these categories need to be vigilant. Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Severe cases can lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and death. If you develop any symptoms that are concerning, you should contact your primary-care provider by phone for guidance. If your doctor believes you need testing, he or she will instruct you on what to do. Unfortunately, there have been reports of test shortages across the country, so depending on where you live you may have to wait a few days. Prevention Tips To help you steer clear of COVID-19 the CDC recommends that you avoid close contact with anyone who is sick. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being out in public, blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water isn’t available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol. To the extent possible, try to avoid touching your face, nose, and eyes. And avoid touching high-touch surfaces in public places, like elevator buttons, door handles, handrails, and handshaking with people. Use a tissue or your sleeve to cover your hand or fi nger if you must touch something. Also, clean and disinfect your home to remove germs: Practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces – tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks and cell phones. You should also avoid crowds, especially in poorly ventilated spaces. Your risk of exposure to respiratory viruses like COVID-19 may increase in crowded, closed-in settings with little air circulation if there are people in the crowd who are sick. The CDC also recommends that seniors and high-risk individuals stock up on supplies, such as extra medications and groceries. And, if there is an outbreak in your community, remain at home as much as possible. They also discourage non-essential travel. For more information on the COVID-19, visit Coronavirus.gov. 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.

Molis also said dispatchers are now asking people who call in for assistance if anyone at that address has flu-like symptoms or has been exposed to anyone with a confirmed case of COVID-19. First responders can use information provided voluntarily to take steps to prevent themselves from becoming infected. “We are balancing the rights of people’s privacy with the common good of the public,” he said. Molis also said information on the location of COVID-19 cases does not provide any additional protection for the community. “The location itself doesn’t present a risk to the community,” he said, adding that from everything he’s read about COVID-19, a person with the virus who is in their home does not present a risk to anyone outside the home. Molis urged residents to depend on facts about the virus rather than emotions. And he stressed that, according to the facts, people can protect themselves from the virus through social distancing, handwashing and staying home, which are all practices individuals them~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 208 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA 02141 (617) 768-5800 Docket No. MI291746 TRUST CITATION In the matter of: Georgina B.

Hayes joined Molis in repeatedly stressing that staying home, handwashing and social distancing – remaining six feet apart from other people – are the best ways for people to avoid contracting the virus. “If you’re not leaving your house, you don’t have too much to worry about,” said Hayes, who urged seniors, who are especially vulnerable to the virus, to stay home where they can control their interactions with other people. She suggested that seniors ask any visitors to take off coats and jackets and wash their hands as soon as they arrive. “Just stay home,” said Hayes. “I know it’s hard but that’s your best bet if you’re a senior.” One resident called in with a question about safety in senior housing where hundreds of people live close to each other. Even those who are quarantined still use the elevators to ride down to the lobby to collect their mail, she said. “How can we protect ourselves?” she asked “I think you have to look at every environment that you are in as a potential hazard,” said Molis, adding that elevators and door handles can pose risks. Molis said residents should wait and only use elevators that allow a safe space between people. Hayes suggested that residents could wear gloves to avoid direct contact with buttons and handles, or they could carry wipes to clean off any surfaces they might need to touch. She also suggested that one person be designated to collect the mail for a group of neighbors. Viewers asked about other issues during the forum, including available testing, volunteer opportunities, online city services and blue trash bags, which are still being delivered and stocked by vendors. But the discussion repeatedly returned to social distancing, handwashing and staying home as the best defenses against the virus. “At the end of the day, your One Call Does It All! safety is up to you,” said Molis. “Your safety depends on how you live your life.” A video of this week’s coronavirus update and forum is available online at https://youtu.be/ ACk0Du64_hY?t=56.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 27, 2020 SHOW | FROM PAGE 10 leading up to the big two-night show, which is held on the fi rst weekend of March each year. This year’s theme was “Back to the 80’s” and the skit by hosts Danny Gilligan, Ava Pizziferri and Brianna Preston, all Class of 2021 offi cers, was hilarious. They appeared in many “period” costumes associated with the 1980s, as well as a treasure trove of 1980s references, from Olivia Newton-John’s workout video complete with blaring, pastel outfi ts...to costumed depictions of two of the more memorable 1980s decade movies, “Ghostbusters” and “E.T: The Extraterrestrial.” Large, enthusiastic crowds fi lled the Jenkins Auditorium at both Friday and Saturday night shows the weekend of March 6-7. One of the most comical sketches was the appearance of MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo adorned in circa 1980s garb and wearing a full-length mullet hairpiece, right out of the best Patrick Swayze fi lm from that era. “It was a fantastic show, very well-done and one of the best ever,” Mastrangelo said. “Many thanks to the staff and Class of 2021 students and others who worked so many hours to put this tremendous show together. The talent level of our MHS students is incredible, and it’s just a great night for everyone…this year and every year.” The faculty advisors and co-producers of the Junior Varieties show were MHS educators Rebecca Corcoran and Katherine Haskell. Following is a listing of all the performers in this year’s show Act One Yusra Tafraoui sang “Rolling in the Deep” (Adele); Massimiliano Lam performed “Nuvole Bianche” (Ludovico Einaudi) on the piano; Saran Oliviera sang “All I Ask” (Adele); Suiyernah Chen and Astha Lama performed a mashup of songs – “Bad Boy” (Red Velvet), “Mama” (Ella Eyre) and “Mi Gente” (J. Balvin & Willy William; Christine Dumo and Leila Imani sang “Runnin’” (Naughty Boy, Beyonce and Arrow Benjamin); Melissa Calixte and Lynn-Sarah Georges sang an original rap song; Sara Zakaria recited an original poem; the Afro-Caribbean Dance Group – made up of Djenny Georges, Tiannah Macharia, Jinayah Chevalier, Christina Pierre-Rene and Deborah Yennah – performed an Afro-Caribbean medley; and Gabriella Frois sang “I Have Nothing” (Whitney Houston).
