Maldden alld a Vol. 29, No. 14 den AADD -FREEBy Christopher Roberson M alden Taxi, an iconic transportation company in the city, will close its doors for at least two weeks as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. “As we get closer to April 20, we’ll reassess,” said David Morovitz, the son of longtime proprietor Lester Morovitz, who has made numerous donations to city organizations over the past fi ve decades. He said the decision to close was based on Governor Charlie Baker’s projection that the number of COVID-19 cases in Important COVID-19 Information see page 9 CTE CAT AT www.advocatenews.net Published Every Friday 617-387-2200 the state will begin to surge between April 7 and April 17. “The best way to combat this is to stay home,” said Morovitz. “It’s an unfortunate situation, but health supersedes anything else.” The company has been owned by the Morovitz family since the 1960s. Morovitz said the last time Malden Taxi closed was for 24 hours, following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963. On March 31, Baker announced that the closure of all nonessential businesses would be extended to May 4. Free laundry loads of love C ity offi cials were back on Malden Access TV and Facebook on Wednesday night with another update on COVID-19 and its eff ects on the community.

Webb said the key to keeping the numbers down is for residents to continue to stay home except for trips out to grocery stores and pharmacies. “The plan is in place; it does work and it is working,” he said. Webb said that the Malden Police and Fire Departments are probably the least aff ected fi rst responders in the area because they have followed their extensive training. As with previous updates, residents called in or posted questions on Facebook, and once again, there was a request from a Maplewood resident for more specifi c information about where the city’s confi rmed cases were located. “They are everywhere,” said Webb. “We have one small cluster, which really isn’t even a cluster. What we are looking at is widespread, so the trick is to stay home.” The state Department of Health has shared information about the location of COVID-19 cases with police, firefighters and emergency medical technicians so they can take precautions if they need to respond to calls from those homes. Otherwise, federal laws that protect patient information and confi - dentiality prohibit releasing that information to the public. Last week, Police Chief Kevin Molis assured residents that the location of COVID-19 cases was not an issue and no one inside a home can transmit the virus to someone outside. Several residents asked about grocery stores and if crowded aisles and lines are risk. Molis recently met with managers at Super Stop & Shop on safety measures, including separating the self-checkout lines and marking off the required six feet for social distancing with tape on the fl oor. And the Health Department is checking on sanitation measures every day. “Just keep your distance,” said Webb. “The store is making progress; they are short-staff ed, but they are getting the cleaning done.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has suggested that people unpack groceries, throw out shopping bags, wipe down kitchen surfaces, consider changing clothes and, as always, wash their hands.

The state initially defi ned construction as an essential service. “The governor has changed that order eff ective immediately,” said Christenson. While restrictions on construction have been tightened, workers in construction-related trades can still provide services to maintain safety and sanitation to residences, businesses, public buildings and health care facilities. Construction projects that will provide much-needed residential housing are also allowed to continue. Although city parks have been closed and signs have been posted to inform people about the new restrictions, one resident who lives near the bike path called in to say she often sees groups of 10 to 20 teens walking along the trail. Another viewer asked what to do if there were large parties taking place in apartment buildings, and another resident wondered about nonessential businesses that are still working behind locked doors and curtains.

As of Thursday, April 2d, the City of Malden has 83 tested and confi rmed cases and these individuals are in isolation. There are also 85 residents quarantined because of contact with someone who has tested positive. Currently, Malden Health Department nurses are monitoring each of these cases and all are taken the necessary precautionary measures. Tested & Confi rmed (Isolated) Quarantined Cases (Because of exposure) Monitored Cases 83 85 168 It is anticipated that these numbers will increase as more testing takes place. Please continue to avoid gatherings, practice social distancing, wash hands and sanitize surfaces frequently. If you feel sick, consult a medical professional immediately. Schools look ahead to September By Barbara Taormina T he School Committee is scheduled to meet this Monday, April 6, to update the community on the rest of the academic year. Superintendent John Oteri off ered answers to several of the major questions during the city’s weekly COVID-19 update streamed live on Facebook and Malden Access TV. Oteri said Malden students will return to school when it’s safe, which, according to Gov. Charlie Baker, will not be before May 4. Others managing the city’s response to COVID-19, including Director of Public Health Chris Webb, do not expect to see students back in school for the rest of the school year. That prediction raised the specter of summer school, a possibility that Oteri said is unlikely. “The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education [DESE] has said no district will be required to go beyond 185 days, which in Malden is June 19,” said Oteri, adding that summer school could be potentially unhealthy in school buildings that don’t have air-conditioning. But DESE has already shifted lanes in its response to 505 Broadway Everett, MA 02149 Tel: 617-387-1120 www.gkdental.com • Family Dentistry • Crowns • Bridges • Veneers/Lumineers • Dental Implants • All on 4 Dental Implants • Emergency Dentist • Kid Friendly Dentist • Root Canals • Dentures • Invisalign Braces • Snap On Smile • Teeth Whitening We are the smile care experts for your entire family COVID-19. Districts were originally asked to provide online learning and enrichment resources for students who were expected to return to classrooms on April 8. That return date has since been moved up to May 4, and DESE is now asking districts to develop remote learning plans, which Oteri hopes to have rolled out online by the end of this week. To ensure that all students can participate in remote learning, the district is planning a Chromebook distribution program. Oteri said the district will hand out 650 Chromebooks at a drive-through point at Ferryway School. “We don’t have unlimited resources, but we want to make sure there’s one per family for families that don’t have technology at home,” he said. A Chromebook request form is available on the School district’s website. Seniors will graduate although Oteri isn’t sure when that might happen. “If the regular prom doesn’t go off , we’ll try to do something for our seniors,” he said. “I’m sure the city and School Committee would be behind something like that. We would like our seniors to have closure and to have those milestone events take place in some shape or form.” Residents who called in and posted questions on Facebook during this week’s update wanted more information about where students CITY OFFICIALS | FROM PAGE 1 In House Dental Plan for $399 (Cleanings, X-Rays, Exams twice a year and 20% OFF Dental work) Schedule your FREE Consultations today rands to reach out to Malden Neighbors Helping Neighbors, a mutual aid group launched to provide information and support residents in need during the ongoing public health emergency. The group has a Facebook page where residents can post off ers of services and material support while those who need help can make confi dential requests for assistance. Christenson told one viewer having trouble fi nding blue trash bags to contact Neighbors helping Neighbors. “We are maintaining the [Pay-As-Youwould land when school starts again. They wanted to know if students would be promoted. “The state is looking at that, but I can’t envision a case where kids are held back,” said Oteri. “What I can envision is that curriculum will be adjusted statewide to give students time to catch up.” Oteri said students have already completed 70 percent of this school year, and he suggested next year will be a hybrid year that blends what was missed with what’s ahead. Oteri said that was how New Orleans handled a school year broken apart by Hurricane Katrina. While a plan for reopening city schools continues to take shape, Oteri said, the district will continue to provide breakfast and lunch for all Malden students. And the district will continue to mail updates to parents which will include information on how to access assistance from the Department of Transitional Assistance programs, several of which have new guidelines. Oteri said he hopes Malden families would stay healthy and safe and he mentioned that the school department doesn’t use the term social distancing. “We use physical distancing because we want to maintain that social emotional connection which is critical to support our students and families,” he said. Throw] program,” he said, adding that bags are available at pharmacies and grocery stores which remain open. Christenson said it is not a good time for the city to fall behind in the revenue needed for waste disposal. Although no one knows how long it will take for the city, the state and the country to recover once the threat of COVID-19 has passed, Christenson and other elected offi cials are already bracing for hardships ahead with strained fi nances and limited resources to meet the challenges. “State lawmakers will get together next week to revise their revenue projections,” he said.

The legislation includes the following provisions. • Permits establishments licensed to sell alcohol for on-premises consumption to sell wine and beer via delivery and takeout provided the wine or beer is sold in the same transaction as a purchase of food and in a sealed container. • Modifies local permitting processes, extends municipal tax deadlines and allows municipalities to extend property tax exemptions and deferrals. • Allows municipalities to activate qualified workers by suspending the cap on hours and compensation for certain retired employees for hours worked during the state of emergency. On March 27, the Baker-Polito administration and House and Senate leadership announced the extension of the tax deadline. On March 30, the Senate passed the two bills regarding beer and wine and municipalities and state authorities.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 3, 2020 Page 5 “Malden: Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday…” remembering the Highland Café By Peter F. Levine I have this neat piece of Malden memorabilia sitting right here in front of me, generously donated to me by the former CEO of the iconic Highland Café, Dave Angelo. It’s a menu from the restaurant, year unknown. The drinking age was 18, the Massachusetts meals tax was five percent, and a veal cutlet dinner was $3.25! So, we figured this must be sometime in the early to mid-1970’s. I was a fresh-faced high school graduate at that point spending a lot of time in the booths at the Highland. “Feelings” by Morris Albert, “It only takes a minute” by Tavares and “Rhinestone Cowboy” by Glen Campbell were playing constantly on the jukebox in each booth that year. Like I said once before, the only women to serve me more meals in my life, besides my mother, of course, would be the wonderful waitresses at the old Highland! Anna Puleo, Lucy Lally, Jean Sacco, Peggy Gennetti, Jeannie (Parker) Lamphier, Mary Cole, Anna’s daughters – Nancy and Anna, Lorraine Gennetti, Lisa LaPani and Annette Magistro, to name but a few. And how could we ever forget some of the best bartenders in Malden: Paul Gennetti, Pete Trabucco, Kevin Hanley, Jimmy Cahill, Richie Morando, Johnny Puleo, Dave Angelo – the list goes on and on and on! The menu is a flashback to times when you didn’t have to spend an “arm and a leg” to get a good meal. Sirloin Steak dinner – $4! Fried Clam dinner – $2.50! Broiled pork chops – $2.25! No, I did not forget the item that put the Highland on the map – their signature offering (and whose recipe Dave Angelo guards with his very life) – the famous Highland Café pizza! Large cheese – $2.60! Any extra ingredient – $.35! Loved the mixed drink list – Vodka Collins, Sloe Gin Fizz, Screwdriver – $.90! Beefeater Martini, Scarlett O’Hara, Golden Dream – $1.00! Schlitz and Knickerbocker on draft! Sweet days indeed; as Kris Kristofferson once sang – “I’d trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday.” Sitting at the bar at the old Highland – a soft summer night in old Ward 2?

A cold Ballantine with a sizzling hot Highland pie fresh out of that ancient oven! Count me all in! Forgetaboutit! Random thoughts while trying to maintain my sanity during these crazy days... • All the Aerosmith/Extreme/ VH talk lately got me thinking of Sammy Hagar’s autobiography, “Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock.” In the book Sammy heaps praise on a Maldonian (no, not the Settemio’s). Highland Avenue’s Gary Cherone toiled three years with Van Halen after Sammy left. Page 202 reads: “Gary’s a talented guy. Good singer, good physical shape, a healthy guy, not a druggie, really a cool guy. Wrong for the band? A hundred times over.” Sammy – thank you for putting that in print, but between us – Malden was already hip to the wonderful soul Gary has. • Just last week I bumped into Malden High School Class of 1974’s Paul Lee cruising the vegetable and fruit aisles in Stop & Shop. Paul looking like a boss by the way. Hadn’t seen Paul in many years, but he has an unmistakable appearance and gait. It also helped that he recognized me first! Insert smiley face. Paul was a good hoop player. His brother Gary better – Gary a captain of the MHS hoop team as a senior in 1976. They made a formidable duo. We’d put together a team and travel across town to Harvard Street Park and do battle with Paul and his guys for hours. The call would go out to the Lynch brothers, Jerry & Danny, Mark Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma Burns, the Cioffi brothers, Greg Phaneuf and my brother Joe. Paul would get little brother Gary (not so little at 6'4"), Rod Marshall, Derek Wilson, Kenny Fulgham and playground legends like Gregory, Douglas and Phil Rogers, and we’d have at it. Going back and forth. Win some. Lose some. Great memories with some great guys. • Talking with some friends recently about politics reminded me of this Winston Churchill quote: “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” • Andrew Mark Cuomo! Where have you been all our lives! • Happy 10th year of life on this great big beautiful world of ours to the sweetest little boy who has ever shot a basketball, my beautifully handsome and clever grandson Christian Joseph Falzarano. He may not be able to beat me one on one right now, but that day is coming rapidly where Papa will meet his match.

JRM to enforce recycling requirements next week B eginning Monday, April 6, Malden’s trash hauler, JRM Hauling & Recycling, will begin strictly enforcing proper recycling procedures and will leave behind all recycling materials that are not in compliance. Even the most conscientious recyclers must be careful to make sure they are following JRM’s strict requirements. The City of Malden realizes this is coming at a time when residents are already dealing with uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please give this mandate from JRM your fullest attention 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 are 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 RECYCLING | SEE PAGE 8
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 3, 2020 Page 7 Governor Announces Additional Steps to Encourage Social Distancing at State Parks and Beaches Coastal State Beach Parking Areas Will Temporarily Close; Select Seasonal State Parks to Open Early BOSTON — Governor Charlie Baker Thursday issued an emergency order requiring all coastal beach reservation parking areas managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to close eff ective 12:00 PM on Friday, April 3, 2020 to reduce large concentrations of people at beaches during the COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, eff ective 12:00 PM on Friday, April 3, 2020, DCR will open select seasonal state parks early and expand access at other parks to provide additional open space opportunities for residents to enjoy and alternatives to popular state parks throughout the Commonwealth. Coastal parkways that provide access to state beaches will also be closed to both parking and dropping off passengers. State beaches will remain open and available to pedestrians for transitory use only (walking, jogging, biking, solitary fi shing, etc.). State parks and associated parking areas remain open at this time; however, the public is asked to visit state parks and other open space properties that are located near their homes to ensure social distancing to limit the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, DCR’s agency-owned ice rinks, visitor centers, campgrounds, playgrounds, fitness areas, athletic fi elds, athletic courts, golf courses, and bathroom facilities will remain closed until Monday, May 4, 2020. DCR will also be limiting the amount of parking spaces available at certain high-visitation state parks. DCR continues to stress that if a park is crowded, visitors should consider visiting a diff erent location or returning at a later date or time. The state parks system has over 450,000 acres of property, and every region of the state contains multiple parks to explore that may be less busy than others in the area. DCR advises visitors of Volunteers rally together to deliver 10,000 emergency meals to MVES consumers D uring a typical month, Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) delivers approximately 50,000 meals to more than 2,000 older adults aged 60 to 100+ years in their homes as part of the Meals on Wheels program. These individuals are our loved ones, parents, grandparents, veterans and neighbors. The program provides hot and cold nutritional meals daily to these individuals as some might struggle to prepare meals for themselves, or because of physical limitations or fi nancial diffi culties. However, these are not typical times. But despite the pandemic that surrounds us, MVES continues to serve home-delivered meals to consumers, and the number of those needing meals delivered is increasing daily. “Along with daily meals, we have been delivering extra shelf-stable meals to our consumers and are initiating other methods to assist meal delivery personnel and provide the best services to our consumers,” said MVES Director of Nutrition Angie Fitzgerald. One of those methods is delivering a weeks’ worth of frozen meals to the consumers to help with their nutritional needs at this trying time. “We began delivering frozen meals last Friday with deliveries continuing into the middle part of this week. These boxes of emergency frozen meals will provide our consumers an option to use in the event their regular daily meals are interrupted by the eff ects of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Fitzgerald. One hundred thirty volunteers delivered 10,000 frozen meals across MVES’s 11 community service area. Those volunteers were MVES staff, Council on Aging partners, community offi cials and other members of the community. Those volunteers reported how thankful the consumers were – stating words of appreciation, such as, “Thank you and stay safe out there” and “God bless you for what you are doing.” MVES’s Nutrition Department created manageable and realistic delivery routes for the volunteers as they met in MVES’s parking lot to help unload Lindley Food Service’s truck and then load up their cars for delivery. “I want to thank all the volunteers who helped deliver the frozen meal packs. We got a great response to our call for volunteers. It was a great team eff ort,” said MVES CEO Daniel O’Leary.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 3, 2020 Malden student-athletes still hoping to have a spring sports season High school sports still may happen, according to MIAA officials By Steve Freker he light is still flickering on the possibility of having a high school sports season in 2020, but the fate of the season is still very much up in the air. With three high schools in the city of Malden, hundreds of spring season student-athletes, coaches, fans and parents were anxiously awaiting any updates, which officially came this week. When Governor Charlie Baker delivered the news last week that Massachusetts schools would now remain closed until at least May 4 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it automatically pushed back a potential start of high school spring sports to that same date. High school sports can only be played if school is officially in session, except for the two weeks before the official start of school in the fall. The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) Board of Directors confirmed this new start date of spring sports on Monday, announcing that the spring season now would be on a May 4 starting date. In somewhat of a surprise move, the MIAA Board also T Many Malden High School spring student-athletes, such as the Golden Tornadoes baseball team, are hoping that they will be able to get out onto the field for their spring season this year. (Steve Freker Photo) stated that if high school spring sports do resume on May 4, then there will also be an MIAA state championship held at the conclusion of the regular season. The main change the Board made was that it extended the end-ofseason date to June 27. It originally was set at June 20. According to the MIAA, which took into consideration recommendations of its own Tournament Management J& • Reliable Mowing Service • Spring & Fall Cleanups • Mulch & Edging • Sod or Seed Lawns • Shrub Planting & Trimming • Water & Sewer Repairs Joe Pierotti, Jr. Committee (TMC), the regular season would be able to start on May 4, with an abbreviated practice period of seven days, and games could begin on May 11. A final setup plan for a postseason tournament is being left up the TMC at this time. In another change, the MIAA Board also voted to allow teams that do not qualify for a postseason tournament to continue playing games up S LANDSCAPE & MASONRY CO.

This has not been done before in the past. Even if classes resume on May 4 – and the operative phrase here is that schools will remain closed until “at least” that date – it would mean an abbreviated regular season schedule for most spring teams. High school baseball, softball and lacrosse teams traditionally play 16-to-20game seasons in the spring. With a tentative May 4 start, the Board voted it would mean the season would be 8 games minimum and a 12game maximum limit. Already, those in the high school sports world are talking about how teams would most likely configure a schedule which would include league play only and possibly some extra nonleague games. At this point, Malden Public Schools Athletic Director Charlie Conefrey has been updating his coaches on the real-time status of the spring sports season as well as working with his Greater Boston League colleagues on any future actions regarding scheduling. Malden Catholic High School Athletic Director Bill Raycraft and Mystic Valley Charter School Athletic Director Jonathan Currier are doing the same. At this point, with nothing completely certain in the future in the fight against COVID-19, hundreds of local spring season high school student-athletes and thousands statewide are hoping for the best and keeping their fingers crossed that at least some of their schedule can be salvaged. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT MIDDLESEX Division Docket No. 20W-0306 SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION Elsa D.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 3, 2020 Page 11 House passes legislation to move state’s tax filing deadline, support municipal governments and local restaurants H ouse Speaker Robert DeLeo and State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian along with their colleagues in the House of Representatives passed legislation to move the individual tax filing and payment deadline, support municipal government operations and allow beer and wine sales for takeout or delivery at restaurants. “As the COVID-19 public health crisis continues to evolve, the House responded again today to the growing needs of our communities, our businesses and our residents by easing burdens related to local permitting, extending the state’s tax deadline and giving restaurants more business opportunities,” said DeLeo. “Thank you to Chair Michlewitz and Chair O’Day for their leadership on these important issues.” “In my first week as a State Representative, I am glad to be able to support legislation that benefits the vibrant restaurant community in our District and provides the local governments of Malden, Melrose and Wakefield with needed flexibility during the COVID-19 crisis,” said Lipper-Garabedian. “I thank the House Leadership for its responsiveness to the needs of our communities.” The legislation would extend the individual state tax filing and payment deadline from April 15 to July 15. The legislation includes the following provisions: • Permits establishments licensed to sell alcohol for on-premises consumption to sell wine and beer via delivery and takeout provided the wine or beer is sold in the same transaction as a purchase of food and in a sealed container • Modifies local permitting processes, extending municipal tax deadlines and allowing municipalities to extend property tax exemptions and deferrals • Allows municipalities to activate qualified workers by suspending the cap on hours and compensation for certain retired employees for hours worked during the state of emergency. “This relief package will give administrative and economic relief to our restaurants, our cities and towns, and to the taxpayers of the Commonwealth,” said Representative Aaron Michlewitz, who is Co-Chair of the Joint Committee on Ways & Means (D-Boston). “As we continue to face the day-to-day effects of COVID-19, it is vital that we do all that we can to offer assistance to those in need.” “The bill has several provisions that give towns and municipalities the flexibility they need to allow for extending time frames for town meetings and assessing some kind of temporary leniency with paying taxes and late fees,” said Representative O’Day, who is Co-Chair of the Joint Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government (D-West Boylston). “I applaud the many adjustments that are addressed in this bill during these very trying times. On March 27, the Baker-Polito administration, Speaker DeLeo and Senate President Karen Spilka announced an agreement to extend the tax filing deadline. On March 30, the Senate amended the House’s bill regarding municipalities and COVID-19 and allowing restaurant beer and wine sales by takeout. Also on March 30, the House concurred in the amendment. ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Sen. Lewis seeks constituents’ input Dear Editor: I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well. As we continue to deal with the new reality of the COVID-19 pandemic, I want to thank the doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers, first responders, public health officials, grocery store workers, truck drivers and everybody else who is working hard to save lives and help us all get through this crisis. Our government -- at the local, state and federal levels – continues to take the necessary steps to contain the spread of the virus and ensure that our healthcare providers can safely treat those who become seriously ill. Our top priorities are expanding testing, securing additional supplies of personal protective equipment and expanding hospital bed capacity. We are also taking the necessary steps to mitigate the social and economic harm resulting from this pandemic, by moving quickly and aggressively to support workers, small businesses, non-profits, municipalities and others who are facing significant disruptions and hardship. My office has compiled two resource guides that I hope residents will find helpful – one for individuals and the other for small businesses and non-profit organizations. Links to both documents can be found on my Facebook page at facebook.com/SenJasonLewis. We also need your feedback to help us best respond to the public health and economic impacts of this crisis. Please take a few minutes to complete a survey that we have created, which can be found at bit.ly/LewisCOVIDsurvey. I encourage you to contact my office at Jason.Lewis@ masenate.gov or call 617-7221206 if you need assistance or information, or want to bring an issue to our attention. We are working remotely based on advice from public health officials, but we will respond as quickly as possible. We continue to work very closely with municipal and state officials to serve our communities during these challenging times.
