Twins Mya and Deanna Cook, along with their parents Aaron and Colleen Cook, who are Malden residents, joined Senator Lewis on the floor of the Senate Chamber for the debate and vote on the bill. In 2017, when they were students at Mystic Valley Regional Charter School in Malden, Mya and Deanna faced discrimination and abuse when they were told by the school administration that their long braids with extensions violated school policy and would need to be removed. Mya and Deanna refused, arguing that this policy discriminated against black students. The girls then faced escalating consequences, including the threat of suspension. Deanna, a member of the track team, who had qualified for the state finals, was removed from the team. Mya was removed from the softball team and told that she could not attend prom. Even after they prevailed with Mystic Valley Charter School, the Cook family did not stop their fight for justice. They turned their efforts to championing passage of the CROWN Act here in Massachusetts and nationally. “On the long march toward justice, and especially racial justice, the Senate’s unanimous passage of this legislation marks another step forward,” said Lewis. “We would not be at this point without the great courage and strength of Mya and Deanna Cook, who as 15-year-old students faced discrimination and abuse from their high school for their hairstyles, and bravely stood up for their rights and those of so many other black women.” The CROWN Act prohibits discrimination based on hairstyles by incorporating hair texture, hair type and protective hairstyle into the definition of race in the Massachusetts General Laws. The protection means that no school district or employer can adopt or implement policies that would impair or prohibit a natural or protective hairstyle that has been historically associated with one’s race. With the leadership of State Representative Steven Ultrino, who originally filed the bill, the Massachusetts House of Representatives had previously passed the CROWN Act. The House and Senate will now work to reconcile some differences between the versions of the bill that passed in each Chamber before sending the final legislation to Governor Charlie Baker for his signature. If signed into law, Massachusetts would become the fifteenth state to adopt the CROWN Act. Sen. Lewis welcomes Malden residents Mya and Deanna Cook to State Senate for passage of CROWN Act

Her art brings to life many of her childhood memories of growing up in Trinidad in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Her interest is in nature, still life and design. She credits her high school art teacher for helping to awaken her artistic passion, as on her first day in class at age 12, written on her blackboard was: “Art is not only a painting hanging up on a wall, art is in every aspect of your daily life.” These words have stuck in her head ever since. There is a personal story behind every one of her paintings. She painted every single festival celeI brated in Trinidad as well as all the folklore stories heard while growing up. Stop by the library through April 30, 2022, to view Indra’s vibrant paintings in both the hallway and glass case located in the atrium of the library. J& $46 yd. S Landscape & Masonry Co. MULCH SALE!

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 8, 2022 Page 5 More than 160 Massachusetts municipal leaders attend Antisemitism Summit Malden and Revere among participating cities and towns O n March 28, Lappin Foundation’s “Two Steps Forward against Antisemitism Summit” brought together 168 Massachusetts municipal leaders representing 108 cities and towns across the Commonwealth, including Malden and Revere, to explore ways to stand up to the growing threat of antisemitism. “For communities to combat antisemitism they must first understand it,” Lappin Foundation Executive Director Deborah Coltin told the leaders at the summit. “Educating the community is the best way to stop hate from continuing.” A survey done by the Claims Conference found a significant lack of Holocaust knowledge in the United States. A significant majority of American adults believe that fewer people care about the Holocaust today than they used to, and more than half of Americans believe the Holocaust could happen again. The purpose of the event was to educate the officials on two important steps communities can take to combat antisemitism. The first is adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) non-legally binding, working definition of antisemitism (what does it mean, why it’s important and how to use it. “What this does is provide a common framework for constructively dealing with antisemitism,” said American Jewish Committee New England Regional Director Robert Leikind. “It establishes guideposts that can be used to interpret and navigate antisemitic incidents, facilitate important conversations, and help advance the creation of responsible approaches to the problem.” Robert Soffer, a community activist who helped make Sharon the first municipality in Massachusetts to adopt IHRA’s working definition of Antisemitism, also spoke at the summit. “When antisemitism grows, eventually so do other forms of intolerance and hate. Ultimately, everyone in society suffers,” Soffer said. Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker endorsed the IHRA definition on February 18. The second step recommended at the summit is for cities and towns to annually commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27, so the lessons of the Holocaust, including the dangers of antisemitism and hate, are not forgotten. “By honoring the victims and survivors we recognize the value and dignity of each person,” Mystic Valley Elder Services offers free transportation to get second booster vaccination T he Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending that certain immunocompromised individuals and people over the age of 50 who received an initial Moderna or Pfizer booster dose at least four months ago are eligible for another shot of either vaccine. CDC also said adults 50 years or older who received a primary vaccine and booster dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine at least four months ago may receive a second booster dose of either the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) is offering free transportation services via one of MVES’ transportation providers to adults 60 years and older to local COVID-19 booster vaccine sites to residents of Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Melrose, North Reading, Reading, Revere, Stoneham, Wakefield and Winthrop. To register for your rides, call MVES at 781-324-7705 and ask to speak to an Information and Referral Representative about the COVID-19 Booster Free Transportation Program. Make sure to call MVES in plenty of time so you can plan the most convenient travel time for yourself. There are many ways to make a COVID-19 booster vaccination appointment. Find out how at www.getboostedboston.org or dial 211. said Peabody Mayor Edward Bettencourt, who was the Honorary Chair of the event. His city of Peabody marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day annually. Holocaust survivor Dr. Hans Fisher talked about why experiences like his must never be forgotten. “The Holocaust could not have happened if people had spoken up. You can’t sit by quietly. You must let your voice be heard,” said the now 94-yearold Newton resident who at the age of 11 was one of 937 passengers aboard the MS St. Louis, which left Germany in 1939 to escape escalating antisemitism. It returned to Europe after it was turned back by the Cuban government and neither the United States nor Canada would accept the passengers. Marblehead teens Sofia Vatnik and Lucy New were the two youngest speakers at the Two Steps Forward Against Antisemitism event. New and Vatnik are co-chairs of the Teen Antisemitism Task force. New told the audience at the summit about the chilling effect antisemitic graffiti found at a Marblehead elementary school had on young children at her synagogue. “No student should be scared to go to school because of their identity,” she noted. “We must all work together to ensure that every community member feels welcomed, appreciated, and most importantly, safe.” Vatnik’s parents experienced antisemitism before they immigrated from Russia to the United States in the early 1990’s. “Here in the United States, we can openly practice Judaism, not be turned away from a job because of a religious belief and live a life of freedom,” she said. “However, we can no longer wait until an antisemitic incident occurs to act. We must be as proactive as we are reactive.” Mackey & Brown Attorneys at Law * PERSONAL INJURY * REAL ESTATE * FAMILY LAW * GENERAL PRACTICE * PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY * CIVIL LITIGATION 14 Norwood St., Everett, MA 02149 Phone: (617) 387-4900 Fax: (617) 381-1755 WWW.MACKEYBROWNLAW.COM John Mackey, Esq. * Katherine M.

Levine O n April 29, at 6 p.m., the Malden High School Alumni Association will be inducting into its Hall of Fame eight outstanding Malden High School graduates. They walked the same halls as you and me, had lunch at the same greasy spoons in the Square as you and me (Brigham’s, Jack in the Box, Signor Pizza) and probably studied at the same library across the street from the high school as we did, but it appears they studied a lot harder than us (insert smiley face). With that said, the Alumni Association requests your presence at Anthony’s of Malden to honor your amazing classmates. Please contact Camille Colantuoni at 781-632-1646 or email cmc5767@aol.com for ticket information. If you would like to place an advertisement in the program book, please feel free to contact Len Iovino at 781321-3568 or email him at lvi_ mps@yahoo.com or John Froio at 781-321-0339 or email him at jfroio38@verizon.net. I always felt that the Malden High School Alumni Hall of Fame was long overdue – that perhaps a disproportionate amount of attention was placed on the many fi ne athletes as opposed to the academics that have walked the celebrated halls of MHS. The Alumni Association does the (deity of your choice) work. They’ve toiled long and hard to create a space where all the math nerds, all the English wonks and all the talented brainiacs could be recognized for the hard work they’ve put into their scholastic life/personal careers. There are eight inductees this year. The committee did not have to search very far for worthy candidates. By the looks of this year’s inductees, they hit a buzzer-beater with no time left on the clock in game 7. A couple I know personally. A couple I don’t. Truth be told, I nominated Norman (Greenbaum) and Michael (Goldman). I know, those two were no-brainers, but inquisitive readers might be wondering aloud how on earth these two MHS superstar graduates didn’t make it in the inaugural class. Ronny (Cox) and Albert (Spadafora), frankly speaking, left me speechless. Don’t get me wrong. Not that I don’t think that they are Hall of Fame worthy – they are – but because they both fl y so low under the radar, never drawing attention to themselves. Well, maybe Ronny draws a little attention to himself but certainly not Albert (insert smiley face). Both have been in the Peter F. Levine Hall of Fame for like, forever; Ronny since about 1972 when he introduced himself to the young Devir Park ruffi ans as an Outreach worker as part of the Y Extension. His saintly presence and new-age hippie sense of himself endeared him even to the most grizzled Bandstand occupier of the time. I have called Albert a friend since about 1978. We would sit at the old bar at Anthony’s and watch his young son Craig run roughshod, like a bat out of hell, through the barroom. We’d also order up plates full of his brother Neal’s famous sausage and steak tip dinners and drink Miller High Lifes until closing time (or until Franny called and told Albert to get the expletive deleted home). It was during that time that I saw how generous, how thoughtful, how philanthropic Albert was (and a whole heck of a lot of fun to hang out with) – simultaneously disciplining young Craig, trying to corral Neal in, and entertaining a room full of his best and closest friends/barfl ies (insert yet another smiley face) – oh yeah, and keeping his saint MALDEN: TODAY| SEE PAGE 16

The team will participate in the event through The Commonwealth Program, which gives organizations addressing food insecurity 60 percent of all funds they have raised to support their own hunger relief programs, with the remaining 40 percent applied to Project Bread’s statewide anti-hunger eff ort. As a group, Team Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services aims to raise $1,000 through several personal fitness challenges leading up to event day on which they will walk together in the organization’s neighborhood. Lamb’s goal is to run 100 miles. As of April 4, Lamb has clocked 25.04 miles. “We recently surveyed our Meals on Wheels Clients and just under half of them said they would have a shortage of food without the program as roughly three-quarters said it provides their main meal for each day,” said Lamb, who is the Outreach and Community Relations director for Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services. “Food access for older seniors has been a huge concern during the pandemic. Luckily, our service areas and my hometown all responded to the increased need through donations, community fridges and the like. The Walk for Hunger off ers an additional way for my team of colleagues to get together and fi ght food insecurity in Massachusetts.” Money raised through the virtual Walk for Hunger is funding Project Bread’s urgent mission to ensure kids have reliable access to food, to directly help individuals and families and to advocate at the state and federal levels for expedited and effi cient relief for those in need. Walk funds are also supporting community organizations, like Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services, that are helping people access food locally and ensuring communities have the resources necessary to respond to the hunger crisis now and over the long road to recovery ahead. In 2021, 28 nonprofi ts participated in The Commonwealth Program and raised more than $165,000 to support their own work. “Our walk community always inspires us. In the early days of the pandemic, we weren’t sure what would happen. The people of Massachusetts showed up for us in a big way – almost immediately.

View all our listings at: CarpenitoRealEstate.com Last summer, Reading Little League President Mike Wondolowski reached out to Northeast's Department Head of Carpentry, Richard McGuiness, to inquire about students' availability to construct new dugouts for the town's little league program. Wondolowski reached out after seeing the strong work Northeast students did to construct two dugouts at North Reading High School, which students completed between November 2020 and March 2021, and hoped for similar results in Reading. Work on two dugouts at Hunt Field in Reading is ongoing, and students will build another two dugouts at a fi eld elsewhere in town. The construction on Reading's dugouts is happening at the same time as work to build similar facilities at Northeast's own baseball fi eld. "These projects are a combination of two of my passions -carpentry and baseball -- and it's so gratifying to see our students' work not only have an impact on our sending communities, but also right here on campus," Northeast's varsity baseball coach and carpentry instructor Bob Calla said. "I've long hoped to see dugouts for our baseball team, and I'm so glad to see them becoming a reality thanks to our students' hard work." Once work on Reading's dugouts is complete, students will move on to building two dugouts at Revere High School through a partnership with Revere's Parks and Recreation Department. "Our carpentry students have developed a reputation for themselves, and there's clearly now a demand for their work in this area," Superintendent David DiBarri said. "I'm so proud of all of the students who have contributed to making a tangible impact on the baseball programs at Northeast and in the communities Northeast serves."

This year, the election of Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora as City Council President saw the creation of several new committees, including one focused on long-term critical fi nancial challenges facing the city. “Each year, we spend a lot of time focusing on short-term fi nances through the budget and day to day council business,” commented Spadafora. “However, some of the most critical items facing the city just don’t get the focus they need because they don’t necessary require a decision today. This new committee is charged with a dedicated focus on these matters so that our short-term planning is done with the full knowledge of the long-term issues facing the city.” Spadafora recently asked that Chief Strategy Offi cer Ron Hogan provide an overview of the top items that will be the focus of this new committee. From the city’s OPEB liability of over $200 million, to an escalating pension payment, to a school funding formula that leaves Malden disadvantaged as compared to other communities, the public was given a preview of the critical fi nancial matters facing the city in the coming years. “Each of these topics on their own is complex,” stated the City Council President, adding, “I expect this new Committee to start by creating an educated awareness of the topic, followed by discussion and ideas of steps we can and should take today to plan for the impact of these.” Spadafora’s goal seems to be to ground the city in the reality of what is coming fi nancially, perhaps as important now as ever during a time of unprecedented federal spending that could lead cities and towns to lose discipline. The formulation of committees each year is one area where a City Council President can really relay to the public the goals of the council presidency, and Spadafora has sent a clear message that one of his priorities is to make sure city offi cials are always keeping their eyes on the future of the city beyond the next year or two.

By way of song and story, our hearts will peer one more time into a dark and damp tomb – only to find that the body of the One who once lay there – is gone – and because of that, we have hope!All are invited to attend; the young, the old, the believer and the doubter.There will be something for everyone.” On Thursday, April 14 at 7 p.m., we will be celebrating the “Last Supper” during our Holy Thursday Service at the First Baptist Church in Melrose, 561 Main St. in Melrose. “Together, in solemn refl ection, we will attempt to experience at least a little of what that night might have been like for Christ’s disciples to hear Him say, ‘This is my body,’ as He handed each a carving of unleavened bread,” explains Pastor McClenthen. “This service is intended to turn hearts and minds heavenward and prepare us for our EASTER | SEE PAGE 20

Malden Police warn against use of water bead guns O n April 5, Malden Police responded to a call in which a water bead gun was reportedly used in a not-so-funny way. Although no one was hurt, using a water bead gun to target people and/or property can potentially lead to criminal charges as serious as a felony. Let this be a warning that if anyone is caught in the city engaging in this type of behavior, the Malden Police will seek to prosecute the offender to the fullest extent of the law, because of the seriousness and dangers associated with the behavior. Parents, please be cognizant of what some are calling the Orbeez Challenge, and if you purchase a water bead gun, understand how some young people are using them.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 8, 2022 Page 11 Everett High’s Longmore hurls 3-hitter in win over Malden High baseball Crimson Tide in strong start for the 2022 GBL campaign By Jason Mazzilli S ophomore righthander Justin Longmore dominated on the mound and his teammates delivered some late noise at the plate in a convincing win over crosstown rival Malden in the Greater Boston League opener for both teams on Monday. The Crimson Tide hurler was nearly perfect through the fi rst four innings as Everett clung to a 2-0 lead and then watched as the Everett off ensive fi reworks unloaded for seven runs all told in the fi fth and sixth innings in an eventual 11-1 win. It was a solid season opener for Everett second-year Head Coach Joel Levine, who tipped his hat to Longmore for doing yeoman’s work on the Tide mound in the win. “He was sharp FOOD | FROM PAGE 1 a higher gross cost than the bid put in by Whitson, which sought to remain as service vendor, School Committee Vice-Chairwoman Jennifer Spadafora told her colleagues the overall presentation of Aramark spurred her ad hoc committee to recommend the new provider. "We just evaluated the off erings that would be provided by Aramark and the plans they said would be put into place and determined it would be a better choice for our students," Spadafora said. For several meetings this school year, there had been marked criticism of the existing food services provider, Whitson, particularly for meals provided to students at the city's fi ve K-8 schools and the Early Learning Center. "There have been continual complaints and this has been going on for some time," said School Committeeman Adam Weldai, "It is time for a change." Complaints by parents that were expressed publicly at the meetings and also in emails and phone calls from parents included direct criticism of the nutritional value of meals, both breakfast and lunch, as well as the timeliness of the service, citing long lines at lunchtime. There have been continual complaints lodged by parents from the Beebe K-8 School. One factor discussed by Spadafora in the presentation of her committee's recommenearly and late and was able to keep [Malden’s] hitters off -balance, mixing speeds and location,” Coach Levine said. “It was good to see our bats come around later in the game and stretch out the lead.” Malden High (1-1, 0-1 GBL) matched Longmore’s pitching with some solid work from its own starter, sophomore righty Jake Simpson. Simpson was solid throughout, allowing zero earned runs and just three hits through the fi rst four innings. Both of Everett’s two early runs came across unearned in the top of the second inning on an errant infi eld error throw. The 2-0 lead loomed large as Longmore, who recorded eight strikeouts and walked two, continued to set ’em up and knock ’em down like clockwork. dation was the fi nancial end of the food service equation. She told the School Committee Whitson's estimation showed the food service plan they would off er for the 202223 school year would result in approximately a $169,000 profit. The Ward 3 School Committee member said that Aramark's projection was about a $73,000 deficit for the plan it said it would be about a $242,000 difference from Whitson's bid. "My opinion is that Aramark had better (meal) options and that every school would have a healthy and tasteful meal selection," Spadafora said. One point the Ward 3 member made was that all the reviews of the food served at Malden High School for students Grades 9-12 were mostly highly positive and complimentary. The criticisms and complaints have come from the K-8 schools' level. She also said that it was expected an improved food service and options would increase the number of students eating the school meals, particularly lunch. This in turn would raise revenues received by the Malden Public Schools from the federal government. The federal government subsidizes the free breakfast and lunch provided by Malden Public Schools to all of its students from PreK-12 and the amount of federal subsidies is directly tracked according to how many meals are consumed, "I am looking forward to greater returns with our new company," Weldai said. A key play came in the bottom of the fourth when Malden senior leftfi elder Sam Ortega absolutely smoked a line shot down the right fi eld line which appeared to hit “chalk” and be fair for extra bases. With Shai Cohen on base at third after a single and stolen base, Malden appeared to have a huge hit and its fi rst run. But the home plate umpire ruled “foul” and froze that potential Malden rally. “That was a gamechanger. Ortega’s ball gets called ‘fair’ and we are right in the game there,” Malden sixth-year Head Coach Steve Freker said. “It looked fair from where we were.” Everett got to Simpson for a couple of hits and runs in the top of the fifth, and in came another sophomore righty for Malden, Saul Kruckenberg. Kruckenberg got the fi rst out on a groundout to second, but then hit two consecutive batters to load the bases. Three Everett singles followed, two-run singles by Matt Turilli and Longmore himself, as Everett went ahead, 5-1, quickly. Kruckenberg, making his varsity debut, pitched out of it, but not before Everett scratched out two more runs for a 7-1 lead. Turilli led Everett’s offense with two hits and four RBI. Longmore knocked in three runs with two hits. Frankie Velasquez had two RBI; sophomore Enrico Vega had two stolen bases and scored two runs. Vega also had two hits. Senior Brian Gibbs stole three bases, scored three runs and was on base four times with two hits and two walks. For Malden, sophomore Ryan Coggswell kept a hitting streak going with a single in his second straight game, junior Brandon McMahon had a deep double in the third inning and sophomore Ezekiel Noelsaint hammered a long triple into the right fi eld in the bottom of the seventh off the Tide reliever, Turilli. The Malden coach said he was impressed by both pitchers, including his own, Simpson, who was making his fi rst career varsity start. “Jake [Simpson] pitched great. He threw strikes, which created contact and a lot of groundouts early. The only runs [Everett] got in the fi rst four innings came after we made an infi eld error.” **** EXTRA INNINGS: Everett High baseball (1-0) was scheduled to stay on the road Monday, April 11 to play Lynn Classical at 4:00 p.m. at Fraser Field in Lynn.

Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 8, 2022 Coggswell delivers game winning hit in Malden's 4-3 walk-off win in baseball season opener Hosts are winners in first game of inaugural Tornado First Pitch Classic By Jason Mazzilli S ophomore Ryan Coggswell's two-run single in the bottom of the eighth inning carried host Malden High varsity baseball to a 4-3, walk-off win over Salem Academy Charter School in the opening game of the Inaugural Golden Tornado First Pitch Classic. The two teams were tied at 2-2 after regulation and Salem Academy scored a run in the top of the extra eighth inning to take a 3-2 lead. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Malden freshman Aiden Brett led off the pivotal extra inning with a leadoff double down the left field line, just inside the third base bag. Next up was another freshman, Bo Stead, who drew a sixpitch walk to keep the inning alive. A passed ball moved the runners up and after a strikeout, the sophomore leadoff hitter Coggswell came to the plate. On a 1-1 pitch, Coggswell then delivered the biggest hit of his 3-hour old varsity career, a soft liner to left field that bounced in front of the Salem leftfielder. Brett scored easily to tie and when the fielder did not pick up the ball cleanly, Stead was waved in as well for the game walks, a single and a groundout in the first inning, but nothing else the rest of the senior righty's time on the mound into the fifth inning. Cohen allowed just five hits, walked three and struck out eight on the day. Cohen worked out of a number of jams throughout the day, including two inning-ending strikeouts after starting innings with men on second and third, no outs. Junior All-GBL Conference Malden High Assistant Coach Ken Runge talks it up with the team between innings at Saturday's game. (Advocate Photo) winning run, sparking a wild celebration at the plate by Malden's players. "It was an exciting finish, that's for sure," said Malden sixth-year head coach Steve Freker. "We needed that big hit all day and we finally got it." Malden (1-1, 0-1 GBL) dropped its GBL opener to Everett on Monday (see separate story) and was scheduled to play Somerville Wednesday before the game was rained out. That game was rescheduled for yesterday and the result was not available by press deadline. The story of the game aside from the dramatic finish was the pitching from both sides. Salem's pitcher, lefty Marc Dreisen, stranded a whopping 12 Malden baserunners, including eight in scoring position, as Malden had men on base all day but could not get them across home plate. Malden's pitching was superb, with Salem getting to starter Shai Cohen for two runs on two right-hander Brandon McMahon came in with one out in the fifth with a man on second and promptly escaped that problem with two strikeouts. He threw zeroes in the sixth and seventh and Malden tied the game in the bottom of the sixth with a pair of runs on a Cohen double. Salem Academy scratched out a run in the top of the eighth to take a 3-2 lead, but Malden roared right back with two runs to win it in the bottom of the inning. "Both of our pitchers, Shai (Cohen) and Brandon (McMahon) did a great job and kept us in it to give us a chance to win," Coach Freker said. "We just need one more win to take this tournament title in the first year we have held it." The third team in the Golden Tornado First Pitch Classic is the Chelsea High Red Devils. A Malden win in that second game of the tournament will give the Tornados the championship. Mayor Gary Christenson, at right, and Malden Public Schools Director of Wellness and Athletics Charlie Conefrey, second from right, were in attendance wishing the Malden High Baseball Team well at Saturday's game.

The Lady Tide girls also got the job done at the plate in the 7-0 season opening victory. Fuccillo took charge of the game on the fi rst pitch and did not let up until the last, striking out 12 on the day in the Greater Boston League opener for both teams. Host Everett went ahead, 2-0, in its fi rst at bat RBIs going to freshman Gianna Masucci (sacrifi ce fl y) and junior Kayla Rossi (fi elder's choice).Jayla Davila (reached base on error) and Emma Longmore (walk) scored runs for a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth. Freshman Emilia Maria-Babcock (single) and Mason (single) both scored on a two-out single by Davila to make it, 4-0. Fuccillo closed out the Malthe fi rst two Everett runs. Fuccillo dominated the fi rst three innings, striking out fi ve Tornados, while showing her stuff defensively with four infi eld assists for outs. Everett tacked on two more den fi fth inning with two strikeouts and got a great play at shortstop followed by a nice stretch for the ball at fi rst base by Mason to preserve the shutout. The Crimson Tide extended the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning. Junior Kristi Skane drew a walk, but was out on a fielder’s choice to second on a grounder by Babcock, who reached fi rst. Emilia stole second base, advancing to third on a Mason single. Everett pitcher Fuccillo helped her own cause, scoring Babcock on a groundout to fi rst and Mason scored on an error. Davilia scored on a Longmore RBI single to make it a commanding 7-0 lead. Fuccillo struck out two more Tornados and then got the fi - nal out of her historic day on a grounder to fi rst to fi re up the postgame celebration.

(Advocate Photo) Malden past Lynn Classical in boys’ lacrosse opener It started fast and the pace was much to host Malden’s liking as the Golden Tornado boys’ lacrosse took an early lead and never looked back in a 12-6 win over Lynn Classical. It was the season opener on March 31 at Macdonald Stadium in Malden. Malden High sophomore Chad Robertson scored his team's fi rst two goals, both inside of the fi rst two minutes, to stake Malden a 2-0 lead. This would be a good indicator of a big day for Robertson overall, as he ended up being Malden's top producer with six goals overall for the Golden Tornado team. Malden led 6-2 after the fi rst quarter and 7-4 at the half as Lynn Classical made a bit of a comeback in the second quarter to pare down Malden's lead. Robertson scored another goal in the second quarter and one each in the third and fourth quarters to continue to pace the Malden scoring. Making his debut in the Malden High net was senior goaltender Aidan Jordan, who played a strong game with 12 saves to pace the Tornado defense.

The package, a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds, also includes $150 million to pay for bus lanes, improvement of public transit, electric vehicles and other state transportation projects. Supporters said the funding will help cities and towns make their streets and bridges safer for all drivers and will improve the state’s public transportation system. They noted that this funding, known as Chapter 90, is relied on every year by local communities but noted that this is not the only source of local aid for cities and towns. Geoff Beckwith, the executive director of the Massachusetts Municipal Association, is one of the biggest advocates for more Chapter 90 funding above the $200 million. “We are pleased that Chapter 90 and other important municipal transportation grant programs have been advanced by the House,” said Beckwith. “This is timely action to make sure that these funds are available for the upcoming construction season, and we look forward to continuing to work with lawmakers to address the long-term needs for local roads.” Many local officials across the state continue to advocate for additional money to increase the funding and argue that the cost of repairing roads has increased by up to 40 percent but the state has kept this funding flat at $200 million for the past 11 years. Rep. Bill Strauss (D-Mattapoisett), the House chair of the Transportation Committee and the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call for a comment. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes ANOTHER $25 MILLION FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES (H 4638) House 28-128, rejected an amendment that would provide an additional $25 million to cities and towns in one-time funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges across the state. This would be in addition to the $200 million already included in the spending package. “Roads are one of the biggest complaints we get from our constituents,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Kelly Pease (R-Westfield). “I believe that elected officials need to make dedicated road funding to our cities and towns a priority. Chapter 90 funding has not been increased for the last 11 years. Cities and towns throughout the commonwealth continue to take more and more money out of their budgets to try and keep up with the increasingly poor road conditions. This and schools are usually the biggest factors in property taxes going up. Again, I believe this issue needs to be one of our top priorities at the Statehouse.” Opponents noted that the package already contains $200 million for roads and bridges and an additional $150 million for other local transportation projects. They said that the current formula, created decades ago, for distribution of the funds is considered unfair by many cities and towns. They argued the House should wait until an attempt is made to change the formula so that the additional $25 million will be distributed in a fairer manner. Rep. Bill Strauss (D-Mattapoisett), the House chair of the Transportation Committee and the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call for a comment. (A “Yes” vote is for the $25 million. A “No” vote is against the $25 million). Rep. Paul DonatoNo Rep. Steven Ultrino No “CROWN ACT” - FORBID DISCRIMINATION AGAINST A PERSON WITH A NATURAL HAIRSTYLE (S 2796) Senate 40-0, approved a bill that would prohibit any person or entity including educational institutions, workplaces and public spaces from implementing any policy that would explicitly target someone who wears their natural hairstyle. The measure defines natural hairstyle as hair texture, hair type and protective hairstyles including braids, locks, twists and other formations. The House has approved a different version of the measure and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. “Today's passage of the Crown Act is a symbol from the Massachusetts Legislature that we stand with women of color who have experienced hair discrimination,” said Sen. Adam Gomez (D-Springfield). “As a father to young women of color this legislation means a great deal to me, but legislation is just the first step. In order to change hearts and minds, you have to ensure that people know that this exists, that it is deeply wrong and that it is something that many women of color have … experience with.” “On the long march toward justice, and especially racial BEACON | SEE PAGE 21 ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI84P7071 Estate of: Domenic Berardi Date of Death: 09/04/1984 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE To all interested persons: A Petition has been filed by Debra L.

As Mayor of Malden, he transformed the way we did business in a way that will be felt for generations, all without the help of a smartphone or the use of a computer, believe that or not! Ace took control of the corner office after Ed Lucey put into motion a game plan to get Malden out of the musty old past and into the bright, new future. No problem for Richie! He was the impetus behind the five new K-8 schools that were built. Past President of the Chamber of Commerce. Check. Director at the YMCA. Check. Commissioner of the Malden Housing Authority. Check. After serving as Malden’s mayor, Richie got bored so he took on the Town Manager position in Winchester. When I get bored, I take a nap on my recliner. Not Richie Howard! On a personal note, I have always been a big fan of Richie Howard. I got to know him well on the hoop court at the old Y (he introduced himself to me with a sharp elbow to the midsection). It was love at first sharp elbow. Congratulations, Ace, well deserved. Phillip Hyde is from the Class of 1982. I’ve mentioned the Class of ’82 in past columns (can you guys believe you’ve been out of school 40 years now?!). What is up with this class?! I’ve called them possibly the best, possibly the most successful, possibly the most fun class to hang around with from the past 50 years. Fellow Alumni Hall of Famer Marc Phaneuf is from that class. Aerosmith Tour Manager John Bionelli is from that class (future Hall of Famer).

Phil is CEO at InContinuum Software in The Netherlands. Phil is recognized as a “cloud trendsetter” (whatever that is). I kid you, Phil, way to go! I knew quite a few of Sandy (Velleman’s) classmates from 1977, but unfortunately not Sandy. Most of the great athletes from her class have been celebrated: guys like Dave O’Brien, John Furlong, Danny O’Boyle and Shawn Brickman. About time Sandy got her name in lights. She is being celebrated in the field of science. Dr. Velleman was named a Distinguished Professor for her research in Food, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, in Animal Science, at Ohio State University. How about that! She is also very much active mentoring young women and minorities in agriculture sciences. Way to go, Dr. Velleman. Being inducted posthumously, Nancy Finkelstein, Class of 1960, was an English and French teacher in the Malden Public School system. Nancy was President of the Malden Teachers Association and President of the Massachusetts Teachers Association. She worked with Governor Dukakis to pass legislation to ease the effects of Proposition 2½ on cities and was head of the Massachusetts Cultural Alliance. That resume says it all about Nancy Finkelstein.

Insert a great big smiley face. Four fun Nancy June Finkelstein facts... • Nancy grew up at 113 Harvard St. • According to her high school yearbook her “magnetic personality” was the reason she attracted so many friends at MHS. • Nicknamed “Likeable Nancy” in her yearbook, she is described as an “enthusiastic” member of the French Club, the MHS Band and Sigma Phi Sigma. • Nancy graduated with Tony Bova, Johnny Brandano, Susan Capone, Norman Greenbaum, Ernie LeBlanc, four Levines(!) and Jordan Shapiro.

I was no hall of famer, just for the record. Got me thinking of the recently departed as well as those lost to “the foggy ruins of time.” Most understand that this life of ours is short. If we’re fortunate, we enjoy a few highs and rejoice in a few kicks. Most likely we have just as many lows along the way (unless you’re a Buddhist of course – insert smiley face). In my humble opinion, we should slow dance to Sinatra whenever the opportunity presents itself. Laugh out loud. Regardless. Delight in small pleasures. Always! Postscript 1: About the above photo, Mike speaks: “Forty-four years ago, I had a head full of hair with a matching brown beard, and some small responsibility for dealing with the worst blizzard in the history of the Commonwealth. Decades later, the hair has just about completely disappeared, and the beards turned white, but I’ll always be proud of having shared 8 long days and nights with former Governor Mike Dukakis; former MDC Commissioner Jack Snedeker; and hundreds of people from dozens of state agencies who were examples during that crisis of what was and is the best public service.” Postscript 2: Norman was no “One Hit Wonder!” His 1967 tune “The Eggplant That Ate Chicago” (from his Dr. West’s Medicine Show and Junk Band days) reached Billboard’s Top 100 chart (#52) in that “Summer of Love.” With lyrics like these, how could it not: “You’d better watch out for the eggplant that ate Chicago, for he may eat your city soon…if he’s still hungry, the whole country’s doomed. He came from outer space, lookin’ for somethin’ to eat. He landed in Chicago. He thought Chicago was a treat.” Norman had four songs that charted, by the way. Not bad for a longhaired Jewish kid from Malden. Postscript 3: Alice (Spadafora), we salute you! You raised a good boy! Hall of Famer, Albert Spadafora! Alice, who would have thought!?

DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE April 8, 2022 ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ a y avvy S iorenniiooro a Dear Savvy Senior, I will be 65 and eligible for Medicare in a few months and am interested in getting a Medicare Advantage plan to cover my health care and medications. What tips can you provide to help me pick a plan? Ready to Retire Dear Ready, Medicare Advantage plans have become very popular among retirees over the past 15 years, as nearly half of all new Medicare enrollees are signing up for Advantage plans, which accounts for about 42 percent of the entire Medicare market. Here are some tips and tools to help you pick a plan that fi ts your needs. First, let’s start with a quick review. Medicare Advantage plans (also known as Medicare Part C) are government approved health plans sold by private insurance companies that you can choose in place of original Medicare. The vast majority of Advantage plans are managed-care policies such as HMOs or PPOs that require you to get your care within a network of doctors. If you join an Advantage plan, the plan will provide all of your Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) coverage like original Medicare does. But many plans also off er extra benefi ts like dental, hearing and vision coverage along with gym/fi tness memberships, and most plans include prescription drug coverage too. Medicare Advantage plans are also cheaper than if you got original Medicare, plus a separate Part D drug plan and a Medigap policy. Many Advantage plans have $0 or low monthly premiums and don’t always have a deductible, but they also typically have a high out-of-pocket maximum. In 2021, Advantage plan participants on average were responsible for a maximum of around $5,100 for in-network care, and about $9,200 when out-of-network care is included. How to Choose To help you pick a plan, a good fi rst step is to call the offi ce managers of the doctors you use and fi nd out which Advantage plans they accept, and which ones they recommend. Then go to the Medicare Plan Finder tool at Medicare.gov/plan-compare to compare Advantage plans in your area. This tool provides a fi vestar rating system that evaluates each plan based on past customer satisfaction and quality of care the plan delivers. When comparing, here are some key points to consider: Total costs: Look at the plan’s entire pricing package, not just the premiums and deductibles. Compare the maximum out-ofpocket costs plus the copays and coinsurance charged for doctor offi ce visits, hospital stays, visits to specialists, prescription drugs and other medical services. This is important because if you choose an Advantage plan, you’re not allowed to purchase a Medigap policy, which means you’ll be responsible for paying these expenses out of your own pocket. Drug coverage: Check the plan’s formulary – the list of prescription drugs covered – to be sure all the medications you take are covered without excessive co-pays or requirements that you try less expensive drugs fi rst. Dental, vision and hearing: Many Advantage plans come with dental, vision and hearing benefi ts, but are usually limited. Get the details on what exactly is covered. Coverage away from home: Most Advantage plans limit you to using in-network doctors only within a service area or geographic region, so fi nd out what’s covered if you need medical care when you’re away from home. Out-of-network coverage: Check to see what’s covered if you want to see a specialist in a hospital that is not in a plan’s network. You can get a list of doctors and hospitals that take part in a plan on the plan’s website. Need Help? If you need help choosing a plan, contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program at ShipHelp.org or call 877-8392675. Also see the HealthMetrix Research 2022 Cost Comparisons Report at MedicareNewsWatch.com that lists the best Advantage plans based on health status. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Following his graduation from Boston College in 1956, Jim served in the United States Navy. During the Kennedy Administration he began his federal career and arrived in Washington, DC for a 60 day detail. He never left. Instead he found positions and lifelong friends serving at the Civil Service Commission, the Smithsonian Institution, the Department of Commerce and the Department of Energy. Over the decades Administrations changed with elections yet as a civil servant Jim was a proud member of The B Company whose motto is, "We'll be here when you come and we'll be here when you go." Upon his retirement from federal service in 1984, he worked in house for Martin Marietta Corp. and Lockheed Martin Corp. as a lobbyist. After retiring from Lockheed Martin Jim opened James Desmond Consulting to continue lobbying but at a slower pace. Notwithstanding his federal career, Jim's energy led him to seek other endeavors in a totally different environment. After Jim's friend Michael O'Harro established the Junior Officers and Professional Association (JOPA) in 1964, Jim became Michael's partner in the enterprise. JOPA was a private club that held parties at hotels and bars where junior officers, young professionals and young women could mingle, dance and drink beer. The rules were that members had to be single and 21 to 35 years old. Men paid $3 at the door. Women got in free. A good time was had by all.

The partners opened the Beowulf in 1972, Tramps in 1975 (the first disco in DC) and Champions in 1983 (the first sports bar). Jim's parents were born in Ireland and he was proud of his Irish ancestry. Following the fine Irish tradition, he was a renowned storyteller and could bring the house down with one glorious story after the other.

These innate traits helped him become a well-respected lobbyist with many long-time friends on Capitol Hill including Members of Congress, their staffs, and fellow old-fashioned, shoe leather lobbyists. Being an avid hunter and fisherman also contributed to his success. He spent countless hours with his many good friends on the Chesapeake Bay and in the fields and on the rivers of Maryland's St. Mary's County and its Eastern Shore. But that did not keep him from traveling all over the United States and Canada to find good hunting and fishing (Argentina too). However, no place was dearer to his heart than Southern Maryland, the Land of Pleasant Living where he spent years enjoying the land, admiring the beauty of St. Jerome's Creek, and having good times with great friends at Courtney's Babe Ruth League.

Cicarello has led Revere High softball for the past 12 seasons, with 11 consecutive MIAA Division 1 State Softball Tournament appearances. Included was a deep run in the 2014 season, which produced a Northeastern Conference and North Sectional Championship, along with 18 wins. That season, Revere rolled to the Eastern Mass.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 8, 2022 Page 21 BEACON | FROM PAGE 15 justice, the Senate’s unanimous passage of this legislation marks another step forward,” said Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester). “We would not be at this point without the great courage and strength of Mya and Deanna Cook, who as 15-year-old students faced discrimination and abuse from their high school for their hairstyles, and bravely stood up for their rights and those of so many other Black women.” “Today, an African-American woman with natural hair voted on the Crown Act,” said Sen. Lydia Edwards (D-East Boston), referring to herself. “This is a perfect example of when the personal becomes political. I am grateful to Maya and Deanna and so many Black women who spoke up through and for our hair. This makes our commonwealth stronger and affi rms our belief that we should be judged on the content of our character. Today’s politics is especially a blood sport so to see both houses and both parties come together for justice is especially meaningful.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Jason Lewis Yes TEMPORARY LICENSE PLATES (S 2797) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would allow car dealers in Massachusetts to provide temporary license plates for vehicles that are purchased by out-ofstate residents and allow them to use the plates until the vehicle can be driven to and registered in their home state. The measure would direct the Registry of Motor Vehicles to design, issue and regulate the use of the license plates. Supporters said that under current regulations, out-ofstaters leave the dealership after a purchase and are forced to coordinate a complicated delivery across state lines. Sen. Mike Rush (D-Boston), the bill’s sponsor, said the measure recognizes the growing business of online auto sales especially in New England which has a very compact set of states. He noted the legislation will bring in an estimated $75 million to the state in new sales tax revenue and noted that almost all states currently allow this. “I [am] a proud sponsor of [the bill],” said Rush. “As state senator representing the Norfolk and Suff olk district, I have the privilege of representing the largest stretch of auto dealers in Eastern Massachusetts, the Norwood ‘Auto Mile.’ This legislation will enhance auto sales throughout our commonwealth.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Jason Lewis Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of March 28-April 1, the House met for a total of 13 hours and 29 minutes and the Senate met for a total of nine hours and four minutes Mon. March 28 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:49 a.m. Senate 11:14 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. Tues. March 29 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:04 a.m. No Senate session Wed.
