In the past weeks, Representatives Steve Ultrino, Paul Donato, Kate Lipper-Garabedian, and Senator Jason Lewis have worked to ensure the bill will provide immediate support and much-needed resources to our residents and families, and applaud the Governor for signing the supplemental budget into law. This $388.7 million budget includes additional funding for the state’s family shelter system amidst rising demand as well as ensuring free school meals for all students in Massachusetts though the end of the school year. Additionally, over 630,000 families will receive 3 months of additional supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) benefi ts, equal to 40 percent of their COVID-19 federal benefi ts levels, to help them transition from the recent end of federal emergency COVID-19 SNAP allotments. Details of these investments and additional funding allocations include: • $85 million to expand capacity of the state’s emergency family shelter system as demand rises; • $130 million for a 3-month extension of SNAP emergency benefi ts at 40% of the COVID-19 allotment levels to help families transition; • $2 million for reimbursements to victims of SNAP “skimming” and other fraud from April 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022; • $65 million to fully fund uniJason Lewis State Senator Paul Donato State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative versal school meals program through the end of the school year; • $15.7 million in additional funding for the Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) program; • $68 million to continue the Commonwealth Cares for Children (C3) grant program which will help stabilize our early education and care workforce; • $21.9 million to support schools through the end of the 2023-24 school year to help communities experiencing a large influx of families with school-aged children due to shelter placements. • $400 million in bonds for the MassWorks Infrastructure Program. “This bill will provide crucial support as Malden and the rest of the Commonwealth adjusts to a post-pandemic world by continuing the invest in local and statewide programs, services, and resources,” said State Representative Steve Ultrino (D – Malden). “I am especially grateful to see the signifi cant investments 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 they deal with the sudden ending of extra SNAP Steve Ultrino State Representative benefi ts. Thank you again to my delegation colleagues, as well as Governor Healey and Speaker Ron Mariano 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 combat 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.” “The legislature’s FY23 supplemental budget ensures suffi cient 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).

In Malden, about 500 Malden High School students participated in the protest, leaving their classrooms and some departing from their scheduled lunchtime to leave the building and initially gather in front of the Jenkins Building of MHS on Salem Street. Several students associated with the MHS Youth Civics Council used megaphones to address the students gathered outside the building. They then led a walk around the perimeter of Malden High School, staying on the sidewalk at all times, according to MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo, who was outside the building throughout the walkout, along with other members of this administrative team, as well as some MHS educators. According to Mastrangelo, “It was a safe and orderly event, as have been other similar events here at Malden High School in the past.” The MHS principal commended the student organizers of the event and those who participated, for their motivation and passion for a worthy cause – protesting gun violence in schools in the United States. He also thanked the educators who helped provide support to ensure the safety of the student participants “who never left school grounds, as they stayed on the perimeter of the building at all times,” he said. “We were able to express our opinion on an important issue and it is time for action to be taken to make sure we are safe in our own school and students in all of our country are safe at school,” said one student, who asked not to be identified by name. Mastrangelo sent out an informative email to the parents and caregivers of all of Malden High's 1,890 students, a copy of which was obtained by the Advocate. The MHS Principal wrote: “Today, a group of students decided to walk out of school to protest against gun violence.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 7, 2023 ~ Malden Musings ~ Anthony Chic Born to Run By Peter F. Levine B ruce was in town again. At this point all you need is a first name, for Bruce has now reached iconic status. Well, he actually reached that in 1975 gracing covers of both Newsweek and Time magazine. But I am at a loss for anything greater than “iconic.” He played the old Boston Garden then added yet another show at Gillette for later in the year. He was amazing (as always) from what I have heard/ read. An ageless wonder whose music reaches deep into our collective psyche – no matter what year you were born – grabs your soul and, much like the “walkers” in “The Living Dead,” never lets up. I was late to the Bruce dance party. The Boss fi rst appeared on my radar screen in 1975 as a graduating senior at Malden High. We were piled into Paul ColeNeed a hall for your special event?

Paul channeled his inner Bruce for the next four minutes 31 seconds, much to our delight – if you knew Pony – and went word for word with Bruce. When I told Paul I never heard of Bruce, he looked at me incredulously: “You don’t know who Bruce Springsteen is?!” I hung my head in shame. Fast forward to the Bicentennial year of 1976. After a hard day at work (Polygon Corp. in Melrose – they made church candles – hey, it was a fi rst job), the boys and I (Jimmy Damiano, Mike Scibelli, Paul Figelski), along with a fellow candlemaker from Melrose named Jerry, once again piled into a car, but this time Richie Callahan was driving, and the destination was the Topsfi eld Fair. Jerry was a Bruce fanatic. Jerry had “Born to Run” on cassette. Richie had a really good sound system. We blasted that tape all the way to Topsfi eld and all the way back home. I was all in. I was a Bruce disciple: through the great years, through the mediocre MTV years, back to the great years. On a related note, Richie (Callahan) told a great story of himself and Dave Doyle walking into the Bow & Arrow Pub (Bow Street?) in Harvard Square back in 1977 and running into Bruce and his bandmates holding court at the bar and shooting pool. That’s the story they told me, anyway. Fugazi news? Perhaps, but it was fun to originally hear. Back to our regularly scheduled program....

Chic was there at the new Boston “Gahden” on Monday night, March 20. The joy he received from “Bruce Live” was contagious. Witness the “Power of Bruce” fi rsthand. Take it away, Anthony: “He was incredible! Still has more energy than most 30-yearolds. Doesn’t run around the stage like he used to but still moves around and plays to the audience like no one else. The band is so incredibly tight and everyone in the band is always laughing and smiling – they love what they do! Max Weinberg is truly amazing. He and Bruce never stop. Their energy levels are off the charts. Nils Lofgren’s guitar solos were fantastic – better than most current lead guitarists!! Little Steven brings so much humor and fun to the group and he still kills with his guitar playing! I still miss Clarence and Danny Federici and always will, but Zack Clemons is a tremendous sax player plus the audience feels a special connection given he’s Clarence’s nephew! “I was there with my wife and 2 daughters; the crowd is getting long in the tooth as they say but my kids helped bring the average age down. A cool moment was when we were leaving the Garden walking down the stairs, we were next to this guy with his young daughter or maybe even granddaughter and he was talking to her about the songs, and she knew them all!!! Bruce fans from 8 to 80!! We were even sitting next to an older couple and the wife said this was her fi rst Bruce concert and she was so excited. Still getting new fans!!! “My daughter Bailey, she pushes for getting tickets all the time when he’s around!! My son is also a big fan. His fi rst concert was a road trip to Shea Stadium in 2003 at age 8 which was, I believe, the last show of The Rising tour. It was definitely the last show of the tour but I’m not 100% whether it was The Rising. “I’ve been to probably 70 or so shows. Most true diehard fans, including my friend Ed Nigro, have been to over 100. My fi rst show was one I think we talked about – The River Tour at the old Boston Garden in December 1980. ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’ for the fi rst time for me!! Favorite album is Born to Run – so many great songs. No, ALL great songs. “Oh, and I can’t forget my wife being a big fan. We were just talking about it last night. We went to a show in the old Garden in December 1992 when she was 8 months pregnant with Cailyn. Walked up to the 7th fl oor since there were no elevators back in those days!!! “True story – when my daughter Cailyn was born (my oldest) the fi rst time I held her I actually sang Thunder Road to her. No rhyme or reason – it just popped into my head (nobody was around while I sang, by the way!). So, Thunder Road was always our song. She just got married this New Year’s Eve and our father/daughter dance of course was … Thunder Road. Meaningful moment!!” Beautiful, Anthony. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – I wasn’t there for the legendary four nights at the Music Hall (now the Wang) in March of 1977, but I was present during his “River Tour” at the old Boston Garden in 1980 – my fi rst Bruce live experience. Thirty or so Edgeworth strong descended on the “Gahden.” We gathered at the corner of Highland and Whitman; the caravan, 10 cars long. We found free parking on streets surrounding the arena, didn’t have to take out a second mortgage for the tickets, and the booze we snuck in was naughty, but it was MUSINGS| SEE PAGE 7

Nobody has come close since that night. Well, maybe The J. Geils Band in 1981 – maybe Queen in 1982 – maybe Aerosmith/Extreme at Fenway in 2022. But there is only one Bruce and the E Street Band! As Captain Lou (Albano) would say: “Often imitated, never duplicated.” Postscript 1: Willie Barron was Malden’s G.O.A.T. Nobody equal, certainly not in the past 70 years. Malden was shocked at the news of his passing. Lest we forget: The 1961-1962 Malden High School Boys Basketball Team is considered one of the best teams of the great era of Malden High School basketball in the 1960s. Led by greats such as Willie Barron and the late Bill Carty, Malden fi nished as Greater Boston League co-champions with Quincy that year after splitting the regular-season series with the Presidents, including an epic overtime win for Malden at the old Marshall Gym, which featured what may have been the biggest crowd ever in the former Tornado “barn.” Malden would go on to fall to the same Quincy team, in overtime, in the quarterfi nals of the Class A Tech Tourney at the Boston Garden, another epic encounter, and fi nish with a 17-4 overall record. Willie Barron remembered. Postscript 2: Malden lost a little bit more of its heart and soul recently. The “Greatest Generation” took another hit with the passing of three pillars of the Malden community: Ermelinda “Mimi” Callahan, Gloria (Iacobacci) Pasciuto and Mary (Cocco) Smeglin. “Mimi” tragically lost her husband, Malden Patrolman Eddie (Callahan), in 1963 when he was murdered in the line of duty. Gloria and her husband, Cosmos, reached Malden in 1960. Mary passed at age 94 and was lifelong Edgeworth. The families they raised and nurtured in Malden – you can connect the dots and follow directly to Malden’s resurgence today. May their memory be a blessing. Postscript 3: On a very happy note, Esther Carducci of the Edgeworth Carduccis celebrated her 98th birthday last week. Happy birthday, Esther; Saint Rocco is right around the corner. —Peter is a longtime Malden resident and a regular contributor to The Malden Advocate.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 7, 2023 Page 9 ‘THE MALDEN METEOR’: Louise Mae Stokes Fraser, Malden’s one and only female U.S. Olympian, remembered History was made just before the 1932 Olympics by Fraser; unfortunately, her race most likely played a role in her not getting an opportunity to compete (Ed. Note: Following is the second and fi nal Part Two of a two-part series on one of Malden’s most renowned athletes, Louise May Stokes Fraser. Part One appeared in the March 24 edition of The Malden Advocate.) By Steve Freker I t has been 91 years since history was made just before the 1932 Olympic Games, when a fl edgling young runner put her hometown on the international map. Malden’s own Louise May Stokes, still just a teenager quite new to the world of organized athletics, was thrust into the national spotlight with her selection to the U.S. Olympics women’s track and fi eld contingent. Stokes, then just 18, and fellow selectee Tidye Pickett of Illinois were groundbreakers and history makers. The two teens were the fi rst-ever Black women to be selected for a U.S. Olympic Team, in this, the VIII Olympiad. It was only the second Olympics in which women were even permitted to compete in track and fi eld events. It was also only the second time the Olympics were to have been Some of the members of the 1932 U.S. Olympics Team are shown, including Louise Stokes (at left), one of the fi rst two Black women selected to the U.S. Olympics Team.

After the 1932 Games, she continued a regimen of training and competition, which earned her another spot on the women’s team for the 1936 Olympics held in Berlin, Germany. For the second time, Stokes was not afforded an opportunity to compete in an event that year. A number of sports historians and researchers have claimed Stokes was denied the opportunity to compete because of her race. The chief evidence pointed to is that she was replaced at the last minute, both in 1932 The City of Malden dedicated this memorial located in the center of the then new Courtyard at Malden High School in 1987 in the name of former twotime U.S. Olympian Louise Mae Stokes Fraser.

Though both relay teams would go on to win Gold Medals as fi rst-place fi nishers in each year, setting a new world record in 1932, some researchers insist Stokes and Pickett both deserved to have run in those races. In 1936, Pickett did achieve some notoriety when she beOLYMPIAN| SEE PAGE 10

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 7, 2023 OLYMPIAN| FROM PAGE 9 came the first Black woman to compete in the Olympics, in the hurdles event. However, fate was not with her as she broke her foot in the semifinals of her event and was forced to withdraw. Once again, she joined her Black teammate, Stokes, in the stands to watch the American team win a second Gold Medal in the 4 X 100 relay and tie the world record of 46.9 seconds that the 1932 women’s team had set four years earlier. Malden rejoiced at Stokes’ great news When the news hit in 1932, residents of Malden rejoiced at the selection of Stokes to the Olympics team. She was the first-ever Malden resident to achieve such national fame, an achievement that still reigns as unique. To this day she is the only Malden female athlete ever to be so honored. Richard “Dick” Rodenhiser played on two U.S. Hockey Teams in the 1956 and 1960 Winter Olympics – the only other Malden Olympian. Even as a teenager, Stokes was well-known around the community for her athletic exploits in both track and field and in girls basketball for Malden High School in the early 1930s. Stokes had brought fame to Malden on an international scale a year before her Olympic selection, having set a new world record for women in the standing broad jump event at a Boston-based, regional competition. In late spring, Stokes joined other Olympic hopefuls, including Pickett, in track trials being held at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. For the wide-eyed Stokes, it was the farthest she had ever travelled from her Malden home. What an adventure! Dominating those trials was none other than someone regarded as one of the greatest female athletes of all time, “Babe” Didrickson, who went on to be a multiple Gold Medalist in the 1932 Olympics and then one of the most successful professional women golfers in history. Stokes and Pickett, the two 18-year-olds, despite their age and experience, did extremely well against national competition. Pickett hailed from Illinois, so she was not so much out of her element. Not so for Stokes, due to the limited travel of Americans overall in those days. Who knew she would be making even longer and more distant travels that were looming in her immediate future? Many of the women who comJ& • Reliable Mowing Service • Spring & Fall Cleanups • Mulch & Edging • Sod or Seed Lawns • Shrub Planting & Trimming • Water & Sewer Repairs Joe Pierotti, Jr. S LANDSCAPE & MASONRY CO.

For instance, Didrickson, regarded as the best athlete of all those competing, was trained and supported by the nationally known Employee Casualty & Life Co. Stokes had only been training specifically for track and field on a semi-regular basis for just over a year at the time, with Malden track enthusiast Bill Quaine, who had formed the Onteora Track Club in the Malden-North Shore area. Pickett had just a bit more formal training than Stokes. History made: First two black women as Olympians Still, both persevered, performed at a high level and prevailed, as each etched their names in the history books as the first Black women to become Olympians. In 1932, Stokes finished fourth in the 100-meter finals with a time of 12.4 seconds while Pickett was right behind her in sixth place at 12.5 seconds. According to Smithsonian Magazine writer Matt Osgood, in a 2016 article, the method of selection for the four women who would run in the 4 X 100 Relay team for the Olympics women’s team would be the top four finishers in the 100-meter event at the trials, and the fifth (Pickett) and sixth-place finishers would be alternates. The top finishers were Ethel Harrington, Wilhemina “Billie” von Bremen, Elizabeth Wilde, Stokes, Evelyn Pearl Furtsch and Pickett. Judging from what ultimately transpired, when women’s track coach George Vreeland announced the members of the 4 X 100 team who would compete the next day in Los Angeles, this all changed. It would appear there were two glaring omissions: Stokes and Pickett. Of the top three eventual selectees for the event, only one of the top five Olympic trial finishers was picked – von Bremen, who was to be regarded as the third fastest woman in the world at the time when she won Bronze at the 1932 Olympics at 100 meters. Harrington, who finished first at the trials, and Wilde, who finished third at the trials, competed only in the 100 meter individual event. They did not compete in the relay and apparently that was decided early. According to researchers, the women had been told at the Olympic trials at Northwestern that the top six finishers in the 100-meter at the trial would all be in the relay “pool” and the four who would be competing would be selected from the pool. It would appear that Stokes, primarily, and Pickett, most likely, would have a chance to join von Bremen and a fourth runner, Annette Rogers, on the 4 X 100 Relay team. Rogers was the national Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) 100-meter titlist in 1931 and 1932 and ended up finishing fifth in the 100 meter sprint in the 1932 Olympics. On an interesting local note, Rogers was born in Chelsea, Mass., and lived there in her early years before moving on to become a longtime Chicagoan in Illinois. It looked like Stokes would break the color barrier It really looked like an 18-yearold Black woman from Malden was going to break the color barrier in an international event: the first woman of color to compete in a U.S. Olympic track and field competition. But it was not to be for Stokes and Pickett. The quartet for the 4 X 100 Relay was announced, and the roll call did not include either one of them. Instead, joining von Bremen and Rogers on the 4 X 100 Relay Team would be Evelyn Pearl Furtsch of San Diego, Calif., and Mary Carew from – who would have ever guessed it – Medford, Mass.! Furtsch, also 18 at the time, had a somewhat similar story as Stokes in her early years. Facing little competition from her own gender in her home region, she ran against boys for a couple of OLYMPIAN| SEE PAGE 11

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 7, 2023 Page 11 OLYMPIAN| FROM PAGE 10 years before competing with the Los Angeles Athletic Track Club. She did not have a wealth of national competition experience, though considered a fine, upand-coming runner. But she had finished behind three other American sprinters – Wilde, Stokes and Pickett – at the supposedly decisive time trials two weeks earlier. Her only claim to fame had been a second-place finish in a regional AAU competition. Furtsch was a bit of a local hero; however, as she ran with the highly regarded Los Angeles Track Club at the time, a direct affiliation to that 1932 venue. The fourth selectee raises even more eyebrows, as Mary Carew had graduated from the school known as Malden High’s fiercest athletic rival – Medford High – just a few months earlier. At age 17, she was seemingly not in the mix in the 100-meter field, individually or in the relay. Medford woman selected to relay team over Stokes They called Stokes “The Malden Meteor” during her Olympic run. Carew also garnered a catchy nickname, “The Little Medford Miss.” Like Stokes, Carew had garnered acclaim for her sprinting exploits next door in Medford, but in a shorter distance, the 60-meter sprint. She was a National Champion in the AAU 60-meter dash – four years running! She was tops in the United States each year from 1929-32. Her best time was 7.32 seconds. Still, a spot on the 4 X 100 Relay Team was Carew’s, much to the dismay of Stokes, Pickett and all of Stokes’ many friends, fellow citizens and supporters back in Malden. Were she and Pickett denied the privilege of competing for their country because they were Black? Was the color of their skin more of a factor in Coach Vreeland’s decision than the pure ability of these young women? When asked in later years, Stokes, who added Fraser to her name when she married a local cricket enthusiast, Wilfred Fraser, in 1941, was most often reticent on the matter. “I felt bad but I tried not to show it,” she was quoted in a few biographical pieces, “I just tried to keep it out of my mind.” Osgood, of the Smithsonian, titled his article, “Sports History Forgot About Tidye Pickett and Louise Stokes, Two Black Olympians Who Never Got Their Shot.” Pickett was more vocal about the 1932 Olympics decision. According to Osgood, Pickett literally took her bitterness to her grave believing that “prejudice, not slowness” kept her out of that competition, according to her Chicago Tribune obituary. In another recollection, African-American Olympic History, Pickett is quoted as saying, “They did not allow the better runners to compete,” referring to herself and Stokes. “It was unjust.” The Chicago Defender, the leading newspaper nationally of what was referred to as “The Black Press,” in the 1920s up until the 1950s, made its opinion of the matter quite clear. “Lilywhiteism,” wrote editor Rus Cowan in The Defender, “a thing more pronounced than anything else around here on the eve of the Olympic Games, threatened and ousted Tidye Pickett and Louise Stokes from participation and put in their stead two girls who did not qualify.” Of course, at the time in the 1930s, much of America was still very much in the status of segregation, including in hotels, travel by train and bus and in restaurants. This was clearly in place and stated as such in Southern states, and it stretched as far as California at the time. America of the 1930s had widespread segregation Recollections of the events leading up to the last-minute omission from the Olympic competition include stories of segregated travel to the Los Angeles venue as well as separate, segregated lodging for Stokes, Pickett and the black men who were competing for the men’s 1932 U.S. Olympic Team. Sadly, all of that was status quo for America at the time, and it appears, judging from a lot of research and some facts that could be construed as evidence, that race ultimately could have caused Stokes and Pickett to be left out in Los Angeles. Of course, judging that – while Stokes and Pickett were relegated to the stands as spectators – the foursome comprising the 4 X 100 Relay Team raced to a convincing victory, the Gold Medal and a new world record, 46.9 seconds, some could debate that Vreeland chose the right four women anyway, regardless of racial considerations. (In a quirk of the times, the Olympics did not recognize tenths of seconds at that point – believe it or not! – so the record was rounded off to 47.0 seconds for the 4 X 100 relay.) But the facts also point to the extremely high probability that had Stokes and Pickett been placed on the relay team – as the protocols that had been explained to them a few weeks earlier seemed to dictate – then a Malden woman and her friend from Illinois would have made two parts of history. Not only would they have been the first two Black women to compete in the Olympic Games, they would have been the first Black women to have been Gold Medalists as well. All these women could do was compete as best they could. Through decisions out of their control, they were denied an opportunity to shine, create a oncein-a-lifetime achievement and represent their country on the biggest stage. As somewhat of a postscript, neither woman was thwarted by this glaring omission. Louise May Stokes was received warmly and with great honor when she arrived back in Malden, as was Pickett in her hometown. Stokes continued to train at a world-class pace and amazingly, she earned another try as a U.S. Olympian at the 1936 Games, this time being held in Berlin. Pickett also had a OLYMPIAN| SEE PAGE 13

These were some of the most well-known Olympics in history, featuring an eventual, fourGold Medal performance by Jesse Owens, a well-known black athlete, and two Gold Medals by Johnny Weismuller, who gained great fame as the star of the Tarzan movies after the Olympics. Generous Malden residents helped Stokes get to the 1936 Olympics in Germany Stokes was beloved in Malden for earning another Olympic Team bid, and Malden residents responded by raising $680 to pay for her transportation to the Olympic Games. To gauge the generosity of locals at the time, that sum is worth $11,172 in today’s dollars! For one round trip ticket! Stokes was humbled and thrilled by the gesture and vowed to do her best. Unfortunately, “The Malden Meteor,” for the second time in four years, missed out on competing. Once again, she and Pickett were in the 4 X 100 Relay pool, but neither was selected for the competition event. There were two small bits of consolation. Pinkett did go on to become the first Black woman to compete in the Olympics, in the hurdles event, but she broke her foot in the semifinals and had to bow out. Apparently, she had always trained with loose hurdles, and the ones at the Berlin 1936 Olympic Games were rigid and stationary, which probably played a factor in her injury. Also, this time around, Stokes finished fifth in the pre-Olympics trials, while Pickett had concentrated on the hurdles. The four participants who were selected for the women’s 4 X 100 Relay Team in 1936 were all highly experienced and previously successful sprinters, unlike the field in 1932. This time around Stokes, again a spectator, saw the women’s team grab a Gold Medal finish and, ironically, tie the still standing world record at 46.9 seconds. Heroine’s welcome for Stokes in Malden By all accounts, Stokes got another heroine’s welcome when she came back to Malden after a second Olympics and was honored and revered in her hometown. Stokes fully intended on trying for a third time, at age of 26, to compete in the 1940 Olympics, but the Olympic Games were never played because of the onset of World War II. THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 7, 2023 As the years went on, she stayed in Malden and around the area, donating her time teaching other young girls and women the sports of track, running and also basketball. She also gained acclaim and was a highly successful professional bowler and was instrumental in helping found the Colored Women’s Bowling Association. She passed away too young at the age of 65 in 1978. The City of Malden named what then was a new fieldhouse in her honor at Roosevelt Park on SaPage 13 lem Street, right next to the old railroad tracks where she used to race the boys in her younger years. In 1983 she was posthumously recognized and inducted as one of the charter members of the Malden High School Golden Tornado Hall of Fame for her school and Olympics selections. In 1987 a memorial was erected in the courtyard of her hometown high school as part of the extensive renovations completed there. Recently, in May of 2020, Stokes Fraser’s hometown of Malden showed once again that they have never forgotten her and the pride she brought to the city when Mayor Gary Christenson presided over the dedication of a major portion of the Northern Strand Community Trail/“Bike to Sea” path, the Louise Stokes Fraser Loop. Whether she brought home medals or not, the memory, character, passion and legacy of Louise Mae Stokes Fraser will forever shine brightly in Malden history. Law Offices of JOSEPH D.

Claim (by Northeast offi50+ Job Seekers Networking Group info cials): “In January 2022, voters in the 12 communities served by Northeast Metro Tech voted overwhelmingly, with 82.6% in favor, to authorize construction…” Reality: The following words did not appear on any ballot, nor were they a part of any public presentation about what it would entail to build the new vocational school up on the forested hilltop site (site C3). These words should have been on our ballots: “Mass tree-clearing and blasting operation.” 2. Claim: “The construction site in Wakefi eld was deemed…to be the only feasible site for the new building…” Reality: All three drafted deSign up dates signs (options C1, C2, and C3) were designed to accommodate 1600 students in a 383,000 square foot building space. The two options not chosen – C1 and C2 – are on land that will NOT require clear cutting of 13.5 acres of virgin forest. C2 is a completely feasible option using existing open space where there are currently football and baseball fi elds. It would entail the lowest new construction costs, shortest building construction schedule, and least environmental impact. The current hilltop site chosen, site C3, was chosen NOT for the lowest new construction costs, shortest building construction schedule, or least environmental impact. Rather, it was chosen to not disrupt the current athletic fi elds during construction, and to allow for a future hockey rink. (Note there are already two hockey rinks within a 10-minute drive, including the Kasabuski Memorial Rink, recently renovated and managed by the Department of Conservation & Recreation.) The hilltop site will require more than $40 MILLION just for site prep. “The location of the new school allows construction to occur with the least amount of disruption to the existing school of any option. The district gains additional athletic fields with this option and maintains the potential of reserving the current football fi eld/track for future development as a hockey rink.” Source: Preferred Schematic Report - 3.3.1 Final Evaluation of Alternatives – Dec 21, 2020. The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) noted in their February 11, 2021 meeting minutes (p. 7) that site C2 (baseball/football fi eld location) was acceptable but had been removed from consideration by the Project team and not by the MSBA. 3. Claim: “…a small group of residents opposed to the project has taken to typical ‘not in my backyard’ tactics…” Reality: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” –Margaret Mead This “small” group is actually not so small; nearly 6000 people signed the change.org petition to save OUR back yard – the NEMT forest. 4.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 7, 2023 GAME | FROM PAGE 1 managed exactly no base hits at the plate. No, nada and zero. Somerville High pitchers Kevin Clark and Ian Born had combined to shut down Malden, which had scored 30 runs total in its fi rst game. Malden had been able to scratch out two runs in the fi rst inning on a collection of walks and errors, but then was shut down by Clark (fi ve innings, 10 Ks) and Born (two-plus innings, six Ks). Meanwhile, Malden was getting the same kind of pitching from senior ace righthander Brandon McMahon. Through seven complete innings pitched, McMahon had pitched perhaps his best game ever as a Malden Golden Tornado, scattering three hits with a whopping 13 strikeouts. Somerville tied the game with two runs in the top of the fi fth and a stinging loss loomed for Malden when the visitors rallied for a go-ahead run (on no hits) in the top of eighth. But the Tornados refused to give in. Malden first loaded the bases with one out when McMahon and sophomore catcher Bo Stead drew back-to-back walks off the Somerville reliever Born. The Tornados then loaded the bases when sophomore Brayan Jose beat out a bunt when Born slightly bobbled the pickup. Next up was Tim Melton, with a chance to be “The Guy.” The senior outfi elder worked the count to two-and-two, then delivered the biggest hit of his Malden career, dumping a soft liner straight up the middle, just in front of the outstretched glove of the Somerville centerfielder, dropping right in front of him. It was also the only base hit Malden had gotten on the frigid afternoon at Pine Banks Park. In raced McMahon, followed by the game-winning run in the person of Stead. Malden was the new owner of a walkoff win, and a wild celebration followed. The victory was Malden’s third straight to start the season – in just seven days since the season began – rolling to a 3-0 record (2-0 Greater Boston League [GBL]). It is Malden’s best start in over a decade for baseball and nearly equals its win total for all of last season. The walk-off win was well-deserved for Malden, according to COGGSWELL TAKES A HACK: Malden High junior co-captain Ryan Coggswell took a big swing in Wednesday’s game with Somerville. McMahon, a four-year varsity player who has now struck out 23 batters in his fi rst two starts on the mound for Malden. “This team has worked so hard to get ready for the season and it has showed so far,” said McMahon, who has already committed to attend and play collegiate baseball for Salem State University next fall. “We knew Somerville was a good team and this would be a close game, but we were never going to give up, even when they took the lead.” Malden had opened the game with two runs off the Somerville starter. Jake Simpson drew a walk and McMahon hit a grounder to third base which drew an errant throw, leaving McMahon safe at fi rst on the error. Simpson alertly motored to third, which drew another throw off the mark, bouncing into the left fi eld net, allowing him to score the fi rst run of the game on the second Somerville error of the inning. McMahon went to third on the second error, and after Stead waited out a walk to keep the inning alive, Jose struck out in order, Brown looking and Jared Antonelli swinging to keep it tied up, Born struck out the Malden side in order in the bottom of the seventh to send the game to extra innings. Somerville squeezed out a run despite some solid relief work on the mound by Simpson, but Malden’s walk-off rally in the bottom of the eighth sent the Tornados home with an instant-classic win. **** TORNADO TIDBITS: Malden McMAHON-to-McMAHON: Malden High freshman second baseman Ryan McMahon fi red a throw to brother Brandon McMahon (18) at fi rst base for a big out in Wednesday’s win over Somerville. on a Clark curveball, but the ball skipped away from the Somerville catcher on the third strike. Jose sprinted to fi rst safely on the passed ball, and McMahon did the same from third, scoring to make it 2-0, Malden.

After Somerville tied the game at 2-2 on backto-back hits by Born (single) and Foscatera (double), Malden threatened in a big way in the bottom of the sixth, but it did not score. Simpson was hit by a pitch by the left reliever, Born, to start the Malden sixth. Brandon McMahon drew a walk to extend the threat. Stead’s attempt at a sacrifi ce bunt was popped to the pitcher for the fi rst out, and Jose struck out. Melton drew a walk to load the bases with two outs, but Born came back to strike out Aidan Brett to quench the Malden rally.

Since mom died last year, his health has declined to the point that he can’t live at home anymore but isn’t ready for a nursing home either. Searching Susan Dear Susan, If your dad needs help with things like bathing, dressing, preparing meals, managing his medications or just getting around, an assisted living facility is defi nitely a good option to consider. Assisted living facilities are residential communities that offer diff erent levels of health or personal care services for seniors who want or need help with daily living. There are nearly 29,000 assisted living communities (also called board and care, supportive-care or residential-care facilities) in the U.S. today, some of which are part of a retirement community or nursing home. Most facilities have anywhere between 10 and 100 suites, varying in size from a single room to a full apartment. And some even off er special memory care units for residents with dementia. To help you choose a good assisted living facility for your dad, here are some steps to follow. Make a list: There are several sources you can turn to for referrals to top assisted living communities in your area including your dad’s doctor or nearby hospital discharge planner; friends or neighbors who’ve had a loved one in assisted living; or you can do an online search at Caring.com. Do some research: To research the communities on your list, put a call into your long-term care ombudsman. This is a government offi cial who investigates long-term care facility complaints and advocates for residents and their families. This person can help you fi nd the latest health inspection reports on specific assisted living facilities and can tell you which ones have had complaints or other problems in the past. To fi nd your local ombudsman visit LTCombudsman.org. Call the facilities: Once you’ve identifi ed a few good assisted living facilities, call them to see if they have any vacancies, what they charge and if they provide the types of services your father needs. Tour your top choices: During your visit, notice the cleanliness and smell of the facility. Is it homey and inviting? Does the staff seem responsive and kind to its residents? Also be sure to taste the food, and talk to the residents and their family members, if available. It’s also a good idea to visit several times at different times of the day and diff erent days of the week to get a broader perspective. On your facility visit, get a copy of the admissions contract and the residence rules that outline the fees (and any extra charges), services and residents’ rights, and explanations for when a resident might be asked to leave because their condition has worsened, and they require more care than the facility can provide. Also, fi nd out their staff turnover rate, COVID infection-control procedures and if and when medical professionals are on site. To help you rate your visit, Caring.com off ers a checklist of questions that you can download and print at Caring.com/static/checklist-AL-tour.pdf. How to pay: Monthly costs for assisted living ranges anywhere from $2,500 to $6,000 or more, depending on where you live, the facility you choose, and the services provided. Since Medicare does not cover assisted living, most residents pay out-ofpocket from their own personal funds, and some have longterm care insurance policies. If your dad has limited fi nancial resources and can’t aff ord this, most states now have Medicaid waiver programs that help pay for assisted living. Or, if he’s a veteran, he may be able to get funds through the VA’s Aid and Attendance benefi t. To fi nd out about these programs, ask the assisted living facility director, or contact his local Medicaid offi ce (see Medicaid.gov) or the regional VA benefi t offi ce (800–827–1000). 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.

The hilltop site will require more than $40 MILLION just for site prep. “Save NEMT Forest” change. org petition states, “The Building Committee has two other viable sites available to them right there on vocational school land.

Application is being made for an on premises S12 Restaurant Wine and Malt Beverages 7 day license. All interested parties will be given an opportunity to be heard. Lee A. Kinnon, Chairman Andrew Zeiberg, Member Paul Lee, Member clear the only thing they want to derail is the LOCATION of the project. The very title of the Facebook group is “SAVE the Forest and BUILD the Voke.” The change. org petition states, “We support both Vocational training as well as the new vocational school. It is only the building design and location to which we object. We do not want to ‘stop’ this project; we merely want the new school to be built on a diff erent site that is less expensive and more accessible to everyone, no matter their physical abilities.” On a personal level, my father went to a vocational school and used his education to start a thriving business in Malden ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ Square that he successfully ran until he was well into his 80s. I am very proud of what he achieved, and 100% back a new vocational school for NEMT’s diverse population, to allow them the opportunities they deserve. I simply do not want to sacrifi ce the NEMT forest to achieve that goal. Northeast offi cials continue to be tone deaf to requests to simply relocate the project to a different site. I urge readers to visit nemtforest.org and their Facebook page SAVE the Forest and BUILD the Voke, two valuable sources of information used in this letter, to learn the REAL facts about this project. Then call or write your elected and appointed leaders and urge them to support site C2, a completely feasible option using existing open space where there are currently football and baseball fi elds, that would entail the lowest new construction costs, shortest building construction schedule, and least environmental impact. Tell them publicly funded projects using state agency funds should take environmental impacts into account. This request is urgent, because Northeast offi cials will soon begin clear cutting the forest as one of the fi rst steps in the process.
