Maldden alld a Vol. 30, No. 21 den AADD -FREEBy Steve Freker M alden High School students gave high marks to the staff and administration at their school in an extensive survey and review of how all have fared both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. There are over 160 staff members at Malden High School, between educators, administrators and support personnel, and just under 1,800 students. In a committed program to foster and promote equity and inclusion among and between its students and staff , Malden High School and Principal Chris Mastrangelo used grant funding to obtain the services of a national group called YouthTruth Student Survey to gauge the responses of MHS students Have a Safe & Happy M CTE CAT AT www.advocatenews.net Published Every Friday City Celebrates Trafton Park Improvements 617-387-2200 T his Memorial Day, two newly installed bronze Mayor Gary Christenson, State Representative Paul Donato and State Senator Jason Lewis were recently joined by members of the City Council and Malden Redevelopment Authority to celebrate the ribbon cutting at Trafton Park.

The project was overseen by MHS Boyle House Principal Stephanie Sibley, who had been involved in similar projects during her previous tenure in the Boston Public Schools. The staff and administration got superlative marks in the category of providing consistent and valued support to students. Over 70 percent of Malden High School students who responded (73 percent) to the survey stated they felt strongly supported by MHS staff and administration both before and during the pandemic this past 12-16 months. “We are very much encouraged and excited about the positive responses to several of the categories, including this one,” Mastrangelo said. “Our primary focus since Day One of the pandemic has been to support our students in any way possible and I could not be prouder for our staff and YOUTHTRUTH | SEE PAGE 22 T By Steve Freker o coin a phrase, the shoes keep dropping like apples off the tree in the fall for this year’s Malden municipal election. The theme this year has quickly evolved from who is running for election this year...to who is NOT running. Malden City Council President Neal Anderson delivered another bombshell announcement at the end of Tuesday night’s regular City Council meeting when he told his colleagues and the general public still tuned in at 9:35 p.m. that he will not be seeking reelection as Ward 7 Councillor this fall. In so doing, Anderson became the fourth would-be incumbent Councillor to announce he or she was forgoing a reelection campaign, leaving no less than four open seats up for grabs this year. Other seated Councillors already announcing City Council President Neal Anderson Will not seek reelection in Ward 7 they would not seek reelection are Ward Six Councillor David Camell, after two terms; Councillor-at-Large DeMaria, after four terms; and Councillor-at-Large Stephen Winslow, after two terms.

Page 2 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 28, 2021 City seeks associate member for Board of Appeal M ayor Gary Christenson is reaching out to Malden residents in an effort to fill the vacancy of associate member on the Board of Appeal. The present vacancy is the result a member moving out of the city. The seven-member Board of Appeal (five members and two associate members) operates under the mandates of M.G.L. c. 40A and the City of Malden zoning ordinance. The Board of Appeal assists in the administration of the City’s zoning ordinance by considering appeals to vary dimensional controls (lot size, frontage, height, setback, etc.) when a literal application of the ordinance would impose a hardship. Residents may also appeal decisions of the Building Inspector to the Board of Appeal. Board of Appeal members are appointed by the Mayor with City Council confirmation and serve a term of three years. The Board meets the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Due to the pandemic, the Board is currently meeting via Zoom, but it plans to resume meeting in person as soon as possible. The primary difference between an associate member and a full member is that full members participate and vote on all petitions, hearings and/ or matters before the Board for which they are in attendance and do not have a conflict of interest. An associate member participates when there are not five full members available for the hearing. Typically, the need for associate members arises when a full member is absent from a meeting or when a full member is present but has a conflict of interest. Associate members should plan to attend all scheduled Board of Appeal meetings and prepare for them as a full member would, in the event they are called upon to participate. If all five full members attend, the associate members do not participate. If there is one member not in attendance, hearing participation will be alternated between the two associate members. To apply, please complete the online Boards and Commissions Application in full by logging on to www.cityofmalden.org/BCApplication. Please also attach your resume to assist Christenson and/or the City Council in making their selection. If you have any questions, please email kmanninghall@cityofmalden. org. The deadline for accepting applications is Monday, June 7. Community ribbon cutting celebrates Trafton Park improvements T he first phase of construction under the Trafton Park Master Plan has been completed, bringing an expanded playground with new play equipment, ballfield dugouts, benches, picnic tables and trees to the park as well as improvements to walkways, drainage and other systems. Mayor Gary Christenson recently joined state officials, city councillors, Malden Redevelopment Authority (MRA) staff, landscape architect Pam Shadley, members of the Community Preservation Committee and neighborhood residents for a ribbon cutting. “Congratulations to everyone involved on what I think will now be known as the premier tot lot in Malden,” said Christenson. “Before we even cut the ribbon, there were already a ton of kids utilizing many of the new features, which to me is a telltale sign that this will be a great ameniANGELO’S FULL SERVICE Regular Unleaded $2.759 Mid Unleaded $2.879 Super $3.019 Diesel Fuel $2.899 "42 Years of Excellence!" 1978-2020 KERO $4.65 DEF $3.49 9 Diesel $2.569 9 HEATING OIL 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

Now on to the next phases.” The Phase I project is the first completed under the Trafton Park Master Plan and prioritized improvements that would serve children, families and people with disabilities. The Master Plan was created in 2019 following a series of community engagement meetings led by Ward 6 Councillor David Camell and Councillor-at-Large Steve Winslow. The plan envisions a new tennis court, a U8 soccer field, basketball hoops, a challenge course, dog park improvements, additional play areas and a sheltered plaza for community gatherings. Future phases of the Master Plan will be pursued as funding becomes available. “These improvements mark the largest investment in Trafton Park in the three decades my family has lived in the neighborhood,” said Winslow. “I am glad to see parents and children already enjoying the playground expansion and improvements as much as my granddaughters have over the years. I have already begun working to secure funds for additional improvements, including to the backstop, field and court area.” “As both a councillor, and a dad, I’m so excited that this first phase turned out so great,” said Camell. “We've been down there as a family and seen so many more folks enjoying the playground. And, as a family who is on Malden fields five days a week for baseball and tee ball, we are really looking forward to completion of future phases. It will be great to watch the kids play right in our own neighborhood in upcoming seasons!” Both the Master Plan and Phase I projects were administered by the MRA with landscape architecture firm Shadley Associates. J.J. Phelan & Son of Tewksbury was the contractor for the Phase I project following a competitive procurement process. In 2019 the MRA received a $400,000 state Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities grant for Phase I improvements. The Malden Community Preservation Committee provided an additional grant of $225,000. Christenson as well as Councillors Camell, Winslow, Craig Spadafora and Debbie DeMaria contributed additional mitigation funds to the project.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 28, 2021 Page 3 TALKING TURKEY: Malden High School adopts ‘Tilda’ and her new brood Turkey’s poults fi nally hatch and proud mom tends to new family around the school By Steve Freker T here are already plenty of events “gobbling” up attention at Malden High School these days, with red letter days such as Senior Prom tonight and Graduation Day on June 6 topping the agenda. However, a totally unexpected revelation has garnered the spotlight these days. About six weeks ago, staff members noticed a wild turkey hen centered in a secluded spot alongside Malden High School (MHS) and realized that she had built a nest. While she stayed near the nest for the entire period, eventually it was apparent she had laid eggs. Well, as spring has moved toward summer, another major event took place earlier this week: The eggs have hatched and there is now a family of 11 newborns living outside the school! The mother turkey gained plenty of notoriety around MHS for the impending arrival of her new family. and we could not be happier for her,” Mastrangelo said. Mastrangelo says it has been a treat to have something like this happen, as it brings excitement to everyone in the school. He noted that one of the fi rst moves he and his staff made when they confi rmed a turkey hatching was in the works was to notify Malden Animal Control Offi cer Kevin Alkins, who checked out the scene and in turn notifi ed MassWildlife, “Tilda the Turkey” and her new baby fl ock of chicks were hatched and have taken up residence on the campus at Malden High. (Advocate Photo/Steve Freker) According to MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo, they are the new “stars of the show.” “Our entire staff has pretty much adopted them as our own. It’s just a delight to see nature take its course right outside, in the middle of such an urban setting,” he said. Just to make it offi cial, the turkey hen already has a name, “Tilda,” which was bestowed on her by longtime MHS Media Production educator Jim Valente. A lifelong animal lover, Valente has closely chronicled the stages of Tilda’s hatching period. Valente sent a video of Tilda and her brood to WCVB-TV Channel 5, and they broadcast it on Wednesday night’s local news show. “Tilda got the star status she and her new family deserve, Malden woman pleads guilty to stealing $796K from employer By Christopher Roberson K ayla Figelski, 32, of Malden, recently pleaded guilty to embezzling $796,747 from her employer, a Malden law fi rm.

I personally feel and hope that others share this feeling that music very much plays a part in our memories and is synonymous with the places, people, and events in our lives, we all shared in ‘Malden Back in the Day.’ I have posted, I thought, was an excellent article called ‘Why Does Music Evoke our Memories’ and its importance to helping us remember the past we shared growing up or living in Malden, that posting of songs/music, to this site, helps to conjure, other vivid memories about Malden, we share about buildings we lived in, worked in or were educated in. Also, the physical events we shared like our Saturday and Sunday high school football games, Saturday night dances, where we may have met the person of our dreams, or we at least thought they were. The many historical buildings and locations, our parades and why we had them. Where, why, or when, a particular song is so reminiscent, it jars our memories, of people, past events, and places. I hope you would agree that songs and music are as much a part of our memories, of the city of Malden and that the older generation can and would love to share these songs associated along with and by our memories of Malden past and present with the younger generation? Please feel free to express your thoughts!” Songs that reach back through the years! I agree 100 percent with Robert. So many songs heard during childhood remind me of a time and a place in Malden. Hearing Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit in the Sky” reminds me of the first group of friends I had, riding our Raleigh ten-speeds from one end of the city to the other even without bike lanes or helmets! Imagine?! “Mr. Big Stuff” by Jean Knight brings me back to 1971 Devir Park and meeting Cliff “Mr. Big Shot” Cioffi for the first time. Morris Alpert’s “Feelings” takes me back to my senior year at Malden High School and all the time we spent at the Highland Café. “Train Kept a Rollin’” by the James Montgomery Band in 1973 at the Jenkins Auditorium introduced me to Chicago Jean Knight – “Mr. Big Stuff” (Courtesy Photo) blues. The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil” conjures up that night in 1972 at Devir Park when an “underfed long haired leaping gnome” playing “Sympathy” on his acoustic guitar in the middle of the park stood down and continued playing as hundreds of us scattered in all directions as Malden’s finest invaded from all directions, lights flashing with harmful intentions on their minds. I could go on. Thank you, Robert. Let me know your song/memories and I will get them in print. It is said in Malden today, tomorrow and yesterday... In the “Teamwork Makes the Dream Work” Department I present to you this dispatch issued by the Malden Police Department just a week or so ago. It involves two dedicated public servants, one of which happens to be somebody I have known and loved since he was an underage prankster sneaking in the back door at the Irish American for Joe Levine’s “Chill Outs.” Take it away, MPD: “If you noticed a large police presence in the area of Harnden Road at Summer Street this morning, it was due to a report of ‘shots fired.’ Malden Police acted quickly and were able to apprehend the person believed to be responsible, thanks to the decisive action of Ofc. George Mackay and Sgt. Peter Mitchell. A loaded firearm was located on the man upon detaining him. One Malden man was placed under arrest and will be charged accordingly. He is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.” Atta boy, George! Once again just goes to show what living a good clean wholesome life can do for a guy – oh yeah – and marrying (hello Lisa!) well. Malden High School Class of 1978’s Dave Slaine recently made a sizable donation to the Malden Rec Dept. Dave’s done good in life and just wanted to give a little something back to the city he still holds near and dear to his heart. Although he’s been gone for many years, settling in sunny Florida, he continues to keep in touch with fellow Maldonians like Joe Levine, Mike “Buffalo” Byrnes and Johnny Furlong. I had a long talk with Dave recently where we caught up on life after years being out of touch. He mentioned that Furgie was one of the toughest competitors he ever played against back in the day. I agreed wholeheartedly. I assured Dave he wasn’t the only one John torched back then. “Hold hands you lovebirds.” Oh my! How time flies. Happy 51 years of wedded bliss to those two eternal lovebirds, Billy & Donna Spadafora. Fabulous couple – two of Malden’s best! If you see Jack Bello wish him a (belated) happy birthday. Jack turned 87 last week and, of course, looks fabulous. Just goes to show what living a good, clean, godly life can get ya! Oh yeah, and marrying very well, of course. All the best to you, Jack, and your lovely wife, Diane. Guilty pleasure of the month goes to Tammy Wynette/ George Jones for their version of the ill-fated tearjerker, “My Elusive Dreams.” Happy birthday, Dom Fermano; 81 might be the new 61! And by the way, 81 never looked so good! Again, it helps marrying well. Dominic, my friend, always remember this William Shakespeare gem: “The golden age is before us, not behind us.“ Who remembers “Big Lou’s Sub Shop” on Exchange Street? Dave Angelo does. He and “Big Lou” (Riley) were thick as thieves back in the heady “Just Say No” days of the 1980’s! On occasion, after getting a few under his belt, Dave would serenade Lou with: “Big Lou, eyes of blue, six feet two, working the barbecue.” Okay, I guess you had to be there, but it does rhyme.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 28, 2021 ~ Guest Commentary ~ School Dept. must hire more people of color By Fern Remedi-Brown Dear Malden Residents, As a longtime member of the Malden community and a parent of two Latinx daughters, I wanted to bring to your attention a longstanding issue in our school district that increases the achievement gap that some of our students experience – namely, racial inequity, especially the experiences of Black and African American students and educators in Malden. Malden is known as a great city – the fourth most diverse in the Commonwealth. Knowing this, can you believe that in a school system with kids from so many different cultures, that some students have never had a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) educator? While intentional efforts have recently been made regarding hiring BIPOC educators, there’s a disconnect with their retention in the District. As an example, many BIPOC educators who were hired in 2019-20 left before the academic year was up, and this occurred even before the Covid-19 pandemic highlighted these inequities. Why is this happening?

As we know, this pandemic has deeply affected staffing – in the Malden Public Schools as well as elsewhere – so the pandemic has served to amplify the loss. This is what I’ve learned thus far through my community conversations: Many BIPOC educators are often not treated as colleagues, they experience exclusion and feel unwelcome in their work environments. BIPOC educators’ opinions are often not heard. Multiple BIPOC teachers have shared with me that there’s a theme of feeling invisible in their workplaces. For example, their ideas are not heard, but if a white colleague then states the same idea as their own, it’s applauded. Even white educators who support either their BIPOC colleagues or students have experienced pushback and become targets among their peers. Moreover, when BIPOC students have the courage to speak up, they are not listened to. One BIPOC educator who left the District said, “When Malden is hiring, they need to add, ‘Blacks need not apply.’” If we look at the language differences that are represented in Malden, according to Malden Superintendent of Schools John Oteri, “More than 37% of new educators are fluent in a language besides English. These [seven] languages include Arabic, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Spanish, Vietnamese, Italian, and American Sign Language.” (Email from Superintendent Oteri, December 22, 2020.) This means that 90% of students’ languages – approximately 60 languages – are not represented by their teachers, even when the students are new immigrants. If you look at the statistics, you will see that only 27% of students in Malden are white and 73% are Asian, Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and multirace. (Ref./DOE: https://bit. ly/3e6x1Xd ) Yet, in 2020, there were only 7 African American full-time teachers in Malden (2%) in comparison to 306 white teachers (91%). (Ref./ DOE: https://bit.ly/3e5Iyq0) Why does that matter? Some white parents might ask, “If you have a great teacher, what difference does it make what color they are?” Why do Black educators matter? “...society is better off when students see diversity in the ranks of teachers rather than when they hear lessons about the importance of inclusion from a monolithic group of educators. Representation matters.” “Research shows that Black students who have Black teachers have better academic outcomes, are suspended less often, and face higher expectations from their teachers.” ... This may reduce teacher turnover in “hard-to-staff” schools. “Ultimately, all students benefit from teachers of color, as exposure to individuals from all walks of life can reduce stereotypes, prevent unconscious bias, and prepare students to succeed in a diverse society.” (Ref./Hechinger Report: https://bit.ly/33yx6OG ) It has been shown that student outcomes have been proven to be much more positive when students identify with the demographics of their educators. (Ref./NY Times: https://nyti. ms/3afutF8) Our students depend on us to empower them with all the resources this city can provide. Malden students have spoken out about the need for BIPOC educators to represent them. In 2018, 7th grade Salemwood students spoke, to the City of Malden School Committee, on the racism that they experienced. Take a look at this moving MATV recording of the meeting: http://vp.telvue.com/preview? id=T01001&video=332367 How can you make a positive difference? Here are some ways: You can ask the superintendent and school committee members why there are so few Black, Indigenous, People of Color teachers in Malden. When you notice that something seems amiss in the schools, find a way to speak up. If you are white, learn how to be an ally to BIPOC students and educators. Read, for example, “Waking Up White,” by Debby Irving, https://www.debbyirving.com/ the-book/ or “Me and White Supremacy,” by Layla Saad, http:// laylafsaad.com/meandwhitesupremacy . Watch videos, such as, “How to raise a black son in America” | Clint Smith, https:// bit.ly/3hiWgcc or “How to get serious about diversity and inclusion in the workplace” | Janet Stovall, https://bit.ly/3eJHDND . Consider civic engagement, such as learning about local candidates and if they are what the community needs. Attend Malden School Committee meetings and speak up during the Public Comment Period about policies that you see as incongruous with those of the forward-thinking and inclusive community, in which we seek to live. Attend MaldenCORE 4th Wednesday Conversations, https://www.facebook.com/ MaldenCORE . We want to create spaces so that we can hear the voices of the BIPOC community. We need data, we need policy, and we need protocol. These are lacking in Malden Public Schools. When we have all of our voices at the table, we can become who we say we are.

MEMORIALS | FROM PAGE 2 and the Soviet Union. More than three million people (including over 58,000 Americans) were killed in the Vietnam War. Opposition to the war in the United States bitterly divided Americans, even after President Richard Nixon ordered the withdrawal of U.S. forces in 1973. Communist forces ended the war by seizing control of South Vietnam in 1975, and the country was unified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam the following year. Veterans Services Director Kevin Jarvis is requesting that the families of Malden Veterans who died during the Korean or Vietnam Wars please contact him at kjarvis@cityofmalden.org or at 781-397-7139 so that we may acknowledge them on Memorial Day.
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 28, 2021 ~ Political Announcement ~ Page 7 Brian DeLacey announces candidacy for City Councillor-at-Large care a lot about the City of Malden and Integrity in Government. That’s why I pulled papers to run for Councilor at Large. My family has lived in Malden I for more than 25 years. My wife, Lynn, and I raised three children who enjoyed all of Malden’s academics, athletics, and activities throughout primary and secondary school years. Malden can provide a strong foundation for friendships, higher education and careers. We like to say – in a good way: “You can take the kid out of Malden, but you can’t take Malden out of the kid.” Yes, Malden offers the promise of strong, positive values. However, the city can – and we can – make this better for all of us in the future. Malden is at a crossroads. We are just finishing up a pandemic year. And we are still feeling the unsettling aftershocks of our national political climate. Your vote in the 2021 municipal election will help elect representatives to lead Malden into the future. I’m hopeful you will be a part of this process. Democracy relies on us. In 2015, I ran for Ward 3 Councilor. It was a great experience campaigning against the sitting Council President. After the 2015 election cycle, I didn’t disappear. Some campaign issues I focused on in 2015 have been addressed. Others haven’t. The City turned attention to pedestrian safety issues I raised. Yet an important – though somewhat esoteric – area of municipal finance and mitigation accounting was ignored. After years of follow-up, it appears Malden’s accounting is now (finally) catching up and becoming more transparent. However, this has taken far too long to serve the best interests of Malden’s residents. In 2016, I co-founded “Malden News Network”. MNN has published hundreds of articles since then. This publication has a simple format with stories to benefit Malden residents. Many articles are in-depth and fact researched using public records and reliable sources. As a spinoff from this, we ran new-candidate bootcamps to encourage the local elections process. In 2017, I was a member of Malden’s Open Space and Recreation Plan committee. This involved extensive discussion, citywide community meetings, and a lengthy final report. That process made clear the benefits of public interaction, interdepartmental collaboration, and communication with the State. Critical governance issues around transparency and accountability caught my attention. This led to a time-consuming but remarkably productive multi-year effort of public records work, writing, video, and communicating with City and State Officials. As a direct result, the City is now doing a (much) better job adhering to Open Meeting Law, Public Records Law, and the state’s Shade Tree Law. Other residents have made similar positive contributions to the fabric of our city. This kind of civic engagement is fundamentally educational; it needs to be more widely encouraged and appreciated. There have been plenty of fun local activities too. In 2019, I was part of the group that established “Malden After Dark”, a social media site focused on Malden residents and stakeholders. The site aims to be helpful, polite, respectful, responsible, thoughtful and a First Amendment friend. It is a format that is needed now more than ever. The potential for more far-reaching development and use of technology in Malden presents a significant citywide opportunity. A small group of us formed the first Community Preservation project to be approved. We worked with other volunteers on a number of improvements at High Rock Park: simple but striking hiking trails, bench and table seating, a new veteran’s memorial flagpole, and appropriate signage. This was a good example of a resident-driven, CPA-funded, small budget project – an approach that could work well throughout the city. Successful projects begin with the sharing of good ideas and talented teams. That was crucial for the Devir Park Revitalization Project. But these projects also take time and commitment. I was able to assemble another group of residents to work with DCR, city officials, and MIT to help preserve and improve the MIT Geodetic Observatory in Malden’s corner of the Fells. This project took more than a year to arrange but the simple value is lasting. Elsewhere, a neighbor and I rediscovered the Sylvester Baxter Delta at Fellsmere Park quite unexpectedly. That historic project was subsequently embraced and improved upon by city officials. More recently, hidden gems of political history surfaced in Malden’s City Charter. Opportunities abound. Malden accomplishes more when residents work together to get things done. I’ve provided a link to a number of ISSUES which could benefit from greater attention. We need to get more done. Faster. If we share in the effort, we’ll share in the benefit. YOUR ideas are most welcome! Please feel free to reach out to me with the contact information below. Let’s work together to make Malden better.

Barbara Murphy City Council Finance Chair May 28, 2021 W Hope is Back By Virginia Ruane hat are you looking for now that COVID-19 is almost over? More time with your children, your grandchildren, friends or, like in my case, my great-grandchildren. Time goes by so quickly and they grow up so fast. Now you can take the time to watch them grow and enjoy your time with them. I can’t wait to hug them and just watch them play. I don’t want to waste another minute. To this end, I did get the vaccine and I am so glad that I did. If you have not gotten it yet, do it. Let all do our part to get rid of COVID-19 for good. Although we need to be cautious to a point, some of us who have been vaccinated can feel free, and we can even shed our masks on certain occasions. We active and shed a few of those pounds that we gained during quarantine. Living is back and it feels good! On another note: I recently Virginia Ruane can do things that we could not do before and the feeling of imminent danger has subsided. With summer coming, we can now take day trips that were restricted before or be able to take in an open air concert. Baseball is back and so are the backyard barbecues. We can now be more spent some time in the hospital, and I am working my way back to good health. During my time in the Melrose-Wakefield hospital, I was under the care of the medical staff. I cannot say enough good about them. The nurses attended to my every need and made sure that I was following all my doctor’s orders. I attribute my recovery to the dedication and expertise of my doctor and the nurses. So thank you to my doctor, the nurses and, of course, the Good Lord for my return to tiptop shape. In closing, Happy Summer to all! Stay safe and don’t get too much sun! —Virginia Ruane is a lifelong Malden resident. Please send comments and suggestions to virginiaruane@aol.com.

ANDERSON | FROM PAGE 1 According to reports, it is believed the remaining incumbent Councillors will all be seeking reelection, though several have still not pulled nomination papers for their respective seats as of press time. Anderson made his announcement rather informally, during the personal privilege portion reserved for Councillors’ individual comments during the end of the City Council meetings. Anderson, who has served a total of 11 terms over parts of three decades, including the past five in a row, expressed gratitude to both the citizens of Ward 7 who have continued to support his candidacies and the colleagues he has served with through the years. Anderson, who has consistently sponsored and hosted a variety of popular Ward 7 events, such as visits from Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, who travel around the ward on floats and flatbeds, made it clear “I am not going anywhere” and indicated he would continue to be involved in these and other local and ward events. By the next day, following City Council President Anderson’s announcement, two candidates for the now open Ward 7 seat emerged: present Ward 7 School Committee Member Michelle Luong and Ward 7 resident and former State Representative and School Committee candidate Nichole Mossalam. —More on Councillor Anderson’s announcement and the 2021 Malden municipal election will appear in next week’s Advocate. Spring!
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 28, 2021 Page 9 ~ The Advocate Movie Review ~ “A Quiet Place Part II” – Grade B Emily Blunt returns in “A Quiet Place Part II” with Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe in the latest sequel to John Krasinski’s 2018 horror fi lm, “The Quiet Place.” By Mitchell Ringenberg A lmost two decades after Newsweek announced M. Night Shyamalan as “The Next Spielberg” on their cover, director John Krasinski (best known for playing the ever-smug Jim on “The Offi ce”) earned similarly bold pronouncements with his second directorial eff ort, “A Quiet Place,” in 2018. That horror-thriller was certainly one in the Spielbergian tradition: a slick creature feature with an unabashedly sentimental (and surprisingly eff ective) family story at its center. It also featured a genuinely novel concept: a world overrun by monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing, forcing those still living to remain quiet for the majority of the fi lm, lest they become lunch next. That gimmick made for an enthralling theatrical experience, forcing the audiences to wait in silent terror alongside the characters. Therefore, few movies seem more appropriate to lead this crucial Memorial Day Weekend charge at the theaters than “A Quiet Place Part II,” an early summer blockbuster that delivers plenty of killer suspense sequences and heartfelt character beats on par with the fi rst fi lm, even if it ultimately feels like more of the same. Those who have missed going to the movies this past year should find this a fi tting return, as Krasinski clearly designed his sequel to be seen on the big screen: Every ominous creak and fl itter in the sound design, every creature darting just out of frame in the background – it all lands with maximum impact in a theater. “Part II” opens with a fl ashback that gives audiences a glimpse of life moments before the alien invasion. Most importantly, however, it’s a showcase of what makes Krasinski such a promising director. As Lee (Krasinski), his wife Evelyn (Emily Blunt) and hearing-impaired daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds, who steals the whole show here) watches his son, Marcus (Noah Jupe) during his Little League game, cinematographer Polly Morgan frames this mundane weekend afternoon with palpable menace. These images of pure Americana – barbecues, baseball, nuclear families – are undermined by eerie silences and the uncomfortable open spaces Morgan leaves in every frame. An over-the-shoulder shot of a kid at home plate leaves the wide-open sky in the foreground, suggesting an incoming alien invasion that the audience knows could be coming at any instant. When chaos does indeed erupt, the camera remains on the actors’ faces, letting the monsters scutter in and out of focus. It’s an ingenious technique that prioritizes the human drama while also elevating the horror of the alien threat. The rest of the fi lm takes place immediately after the events of the fi rst “Quiet Place,” following the central family as they leave the now-destroyed farm they called their home and venture out into the world seeking a new one. Story-wise, there really isn’t anything here one couldn’t fi nd in, say, your average episode of “The Walking Dead.” Post-apocalyptic tropes abound here, and yet “Part II” does just enough to rise above its more generic genre contemporaries. First and foremost is positioning Millicent Simmonds’ character Regan as the real lead, subverting expectations with the introduction of a grizzled survivor, played by Cillian Murphy, named Emmett. Here, Regan emerges as the determined leader of the pair, her steely resolve making up for Emmett’s frightened skepticism. In the end, “A Quiet Place Part II” doesn’t necessarily tell you anything that the fi rst one didn’t three years ago. Family is still a source of courage in the most dire of situations, and watching this follow-up is simply watching these characters learn that lesson once again. Nonetheless, “Part II” would stand out as a worthwhile trip to the theater in any summer movie season. In 2021, of course, that’s now twice as true. Photo by Rodrigo de Mendoza Remember. Honor.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 28, 2021 Page 13 Memorial Day 2021 Though we can never repay our debt to them, we honor those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our Freedom. Ward 2 School Committee Rob McCarthy Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe ~ Op-Ed ~ One Year Later: How Far Have We Actually Come? O n April 20, 2021, Derek Chauvin was convicted of third-degree murder, second-degree unintentional murder, and second-degree manslaughter. Among activists, the feeling was of relief but not closure. Although it was the right decision, it was just one decision. Hundreds of families aff ected by police violence never receive an acknowledgement of wrongdoing, let alone reparation of harm. The trial could not possibly bring about justice for Black America. A year after George Floyd’s murder, we ask ourselves, how far have we really come in our pursuit of a world where no more lives are lost as tragically, senselessly, and unjustly as Floyd’s? Unfortunately, there is still no trust between law enforcement and too many communities. The daily trauma of excessive police force, racial violence, and brutality continue to plague us. To make progress, we must hold our policing and legal systems accountable. Only then can we work on building trust. Last summer, we called on the Massachusetts Legislature to follow the lead of the Black and Latino Legislative Caucus and enact reforms to dismantle structural racism in policing at the state level. In an encouraging fi rst step, they passed An Act Relative to Justice, Equity and Accountability in Law Enforcement in the Commonwealth. As an Alliance focused on racial justice, the YWCAs of Massachusetts urge policymakers to continue our national journey towards healing by: 1. Enacting standards of police conduct to end police violence, use of force, and abuse against people of color: This starts with passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act in the U.S. Congress. The bill seeks to make prosecution of police misconduct easier, expand federal oversight into local police units, limit bias among offi cers, and improve policing tactics. Another important piece of legislation is the Police Training and Independent Review Act. This bill would award grants to states to increase diversity and sensitivity training in police departments. 2. Declaring racism and police violence a public health crisis: These declarations would result in additional investment in social workers, trauma informed care, and de-escalation training. While the City of Boston took this step, the Commonwealth has yet to make this declaration. We must call on Governor Charlie Baker to do so. As an Alliance, we join YWCA USA in demanding the federal government make this declaration as well. Support the eff ort by contacting your members of Congress. 3. Demanding police accountability and transparency: This means passing local ordinances so every police offi cer is required to wear body cameras, establishing a discipline matrix, ensuring cases of potential bias or extreme force are investigated to the full extent, holding offi cers accountable for misconduct, and making police misconduct public record. In addition, it includes supporting Congresswoman Pressley’s proposed Ending Qualifi ed Immunity Act on the federal level. Each one of us needs to play a part if we want to make collective progress. Here are some examples of what individuals can do: 1. Attend council meetings, budget meetings. Make sure your town is moving toward justice. If they aren’t, consider testifying in a hearing, writing a letter to your representative, or publishing an op ed (like this one!). 2. Show support to our Massachusetts Legislation in Congress. Every member of the delegation is supporting the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Congresswoman Pressley and Senator Markey re-introduced the Ending Qualifi ed Immunity Act, and Markey is also cosponsoring the Police Training and Independent Review Act. It is important to recognize and encourage them to continue this important work. 3. Reach out to your State Representatives and State Senators to support H.2292: An Act to Reform Civil Service Exam and H.1440: An Act Establishing a Special Commission on Structural Racism. 4. Get involved with your local YWCA’s racial and social justice advocacy eff orts. There are nine YWCAs in Massachusetts. Find your local organization and participate.

Malden’s Linda Fasciano honors essential workers alden craftswoman Linda Fasciano off ered her services at the beginning of the pandemic to sew more than 1,000 face masks for the residents and staff of the Malden Housing Authority. After she completed this ambitious undertaking, she began to make dolls wearing face masks to thank people who were helping others in her building and in the community. What started as a desire to encourage others and to make a contribution led her to designing what she calls “Essential Worker Dolls.” Fasciano has macular dysfunction, an inherited genetic disease which causes low vision. She has also been diagnosed as color blind, although she says that she can see colors close up. This requires her to adjust how she does things. For example, to thread her sewing machine, she uses her fi ngers to feel the needle, as she can’t see it clearly enough. Fasciano is now taking special orders and making Essential Worker Dolls to honor doctors, nurses, police offi cers, maintenance workers, fi refi ghters, the mayor of Malden and others in order to “remind people of how they’ve survived through hard times, and of how they have come together to support the community.” She donates $5 from the sale of each doll in the Essential Worker series to the Bread of Life food pantry in Malden. “I enjoy doing this. As time goes on, I have found easier ways to make the dolls and I am more inspired given the community response,” she said. Linda Fasciano Her dolls can be found at The Gallery@57 at 57 Pleasant St. in Malden and online at gallery@57. com.

Stay tuned to this channel. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – in the spirit of full disclosure, Craig Spadafora has been a friend for about 40 years now, his father, Albert, a bit longer. Greg Lucey and I took Craig and Greg’s little brother Scotty to their fi rst concert in 1984, Prince (with Sheila E) at the Worcester Centrum. I have watched Craig grow into a wonderful family man, a valued member of the community and a dedicated public servant. With that said, his “Guest Commentary” in the April 16 edition of The Advocate was (in my humble opinion) a breath of fresh air. Craig is an old-school public servant – from a long line of dedicated public servants – serving only for the betterment of all Maldonians, so when he speaks it is very often straight from the heart. Much like his grandfather (Police Commissioner and much more) “Papa Tony.” This line from the article was like a Dana Rosenblatt gut punch: “Like most matters, there is no ‘right’ and no ‘wrong.’ We aren’t arguing about what two plus two equals. It’s for precisely that reason that we need more communication, collaboration, and relationship building, not less.” I like that idea. I do. And I know it resonates with many. It seems like a big, bold statement in 2021 but it really isn’t. It is long overdue (again, in my humble opinion). I’ve followed Malden politics for some time now. Malden’s elected offi cials did not always like each other. Just ask Neal Anderson, Eddie Lucey or Karen Anderson. But they always seemed to be able to sit together and get the job done. As cliché as this might sound: together as one city. Postscript 1: Okay, so my last statement may have sounded “political,” but that was not my intention. It is not necessarily an endorsement of a candidate but an endorsement of a sentiment behind a statement. I applaud the eff ort. I applaud anybody’s willingness to reach across the table for the good and welfare of Malden. I’m looking for the snowball effect where all our elected offi - cials (and those that “pull” papers) are of the same mindset. The future of Malden is bright. Many important decisions to be made. Together. Postscript 2: Who else remembers that night at Devir? The police confiscated enough Schlitz that evening to keep them happy for at least a month! Insert smiley face.
Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 28, 2021 New 10-Year Rule For Inherited Ira’s determine the age of the IRA owner at the time of death for distribution purposes as long as the IRA owner dies after 2019 and the benefi ciary is a designated beneficiary under the IRA account (a Trust or an individual). For designated beneficiaPThe SECURE Act (Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act) was signed into law on December 20, 2019. A signifi cant provision of the SECURE Act was the repeal of the ability of a designated benefi ciary of an IRA account to withdraw the funds over his or her life expectancy. Designated benefi ciaries inheriting IRA accounts after 2019 must now withdraw monies from the IRA account within 10 years. The IRS should be issuing proposed Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) regulations soon as a result of the changes made by the SECURE Act. It is no longer necessary to ries subject to the 10-year rule, withdrawals from the IRA account are optional until December 31st of the 10th year following the year of death of the IRA account owner. The new 10-year rule also applies to a successor benefi ciary of a designated benefi ciary of the original IRA account owner, who inherited an IRA account prior to 2020, but who dies after 2019. A designated benefi - ciary will establish a benefi ciary IRA account and will then select a beneficiary of his or her inherited IRA account. That subsequent benefi ciary would be deemed to be a successor benefi ciary. If the designated benefi ciary, however, had died prior to 2020, then the successor benefi ciary would have the right to withdraw the remaining balance of the IRA account over the life expectancy of the designated benefi ciary, and not be subject to the 10-year rule. Under the SECURE Act, an Eligible designated benefi ciary is eligible to withdraw the remaining balance of the inherited IRA account over his or her life expectancy. The following qualify as an Eligible designated benefi ciary: a. The surviving spouse of the IRA account owner b. A child of the IRA account owner who has not yet reached the age of majority. Once the child has reached the age of majority, the child then has 10 years to withdraw the balance in the inherited IRA account c. Disabled benefi ciary d. Chronically ill benefi ciary e. An individual not falling into A-D who is not more than 10 years younger than the IRA account owner. These are complicated new rules relating to benefi ciaries of IRA account owners. However, since IRA accounts are so common, it is important to understand the new rules. Joseph D.

Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about lung cancer screenings? I was a big smoker but quit years ago, so I’m wondering if I should be checked out. Former Smoker Dear Still, Lung cancer screening is used to detect the presence of lung cancer in otherwise healthy people with a high risk of lung cancer. Should you be screened? It depends on your age and your smoking history. Here’s what you should know. Screening Recommendations The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force – an independent panel of medical experts that advises the government on health policies – recently expanded their recommendations for lung cancer screenings. They are now recommending annual screenings for high-risk adults between the ages of 50 and 80 who have at least a 20-pack year history who currently smoke or who have quit within the past 15 years. This is a change from the 2013 recommendation that referred to patients ages 55 to 80 with 30-year pack histories. A 20-pack year history is the equivalent of smoking one pack a day for 20 years or two packs a day for 10 years. In 2020, lung cancer killed more than 135,000 Americans making it the deadliest of all possible cancers. In fact, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. Lung cancer also occurs predominantly in older adults. About two out of every three people diagnosed with lung cancer are 65 or older. You’ll also be happy to know that most health insurance plans cover lung cancer screenings to high-risk patients, as does Medicare up to age 77. Screening Pros and Cons Doctors use a low-dose computed tomography scan (also called a low-dose CT scan, or LDCT) of the lungs to look for lung cancer. If lung cancer is detected at an early stage, it’s more likely to be cured with treatment. But a LDCT isn’t recommended for every high-risk patient. LDCT scans have a high rate of false positives, which means that many will undergo additional (and unnecessary) screening or medical procedures, such as another scan three, six, or even 12 months later to check for changes in the shape or size of the suspicious area (an indication of tumor growth). For some patients, the anxiety or worry that goes along with waiting can be a real issue. Or you may need a biopsy (removal of a small amount of lung tissue), which has risks, especially for those with underlying health conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or emphysema. For example, in people with emphysema, there’s a chance of a lung collapsing during the procedure. If you meet the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force criteria for high-risk lung cancer, the University of Michigan off ers a free online tool (see ShouldIScreen.com) to help you decide if you should get an LDCT. It’s also important to discuss the benefi ts and risks with your primary care doctor before making a decision. Tips for Testing If you and your doctor determine that you should be screened, look for an imaging facility whose staff follows American College of Radiology requirements when performing low-dose CT scans. You can fi nd accredited facilities at ACRaccreditation.org. This can help to ensure an accurate read of your scans by a highly trained, board-certifi ed or board-eligible radiologist. You may need a referral from your primary care provider. Most insurance companies, including Medicare require this before they’ll cover the cost of screening.

He could talk sports with anyone who spent time with him and was always reading different sport pages and magazines. His favorite college football team was Boston College followed by Notre Dame, Army, and Navy, as long as they were not playing against BC. George grew up in Malden and lived there for most of his life. He went to Beebe Jr. High, and was a graduate of Malden High School, Class of 1956. He had a passion for baseball and was a pitcher, and actually tried out for the New York Yankees. Buddy worked for the Post Office, and was a letter carrier in Malden for most of those years. He was out there many days rain or shine, and he loved being out in the elements. He was an avid golfer and won the Green Jacket when he participated in the Regional Post Office Golf Tournament. He had the game of his life that day, and could never repeat that performance. George retired at a young age of 62 years old from the Malden Post Office with one of his buddies after 36 years. He then worked for the Meals on Wheels Program delivering to those in need. On top of that he worked for the Malden Traffic Department for 18 years and retired at 80 years old in 2019. Buddy loved that position so much being with the kids and their parents. He had a write up in the Malden Newspaper, and was visited on his post by the Malden Police Chief and the Mayor a few years back. The police chief actually covered his post protecting the kids and parents crossing the street going to school. Buddy kidded around with us that the chief was a great guy, but he was a much better crossing guard. George was married and had 4 children in his previous marriage. He later remarried again to Patricia Brown Knox and lived in Melrose for many years before she passed away a few years back. He loved spending time with her and often went out for their frequent Sunday drives. Their favorite spot for vacation was up in Wells, ME and they spent many years at the same vacation place. George is going to be sorely missed by his family and friends. He had Alzheimer's which is a deadly disease and takes too many people every year. It certainly took George too early in his life. I know that there are many of you that knew him from Malden and Melrose. I hope he had positive impact on you by just knowing him. He was a funny guy, and had a lot of energy. I hope many of you can say a small prayer for my dad if you have a moment in your day. Thanks to all who have read this post, and took the time to hear about a few words about his life. George was the husband of the late Patricia M. (Wight) Knox and the late Marilyn (Shepard) Knox. Father of Michael Knox & his wife Zoubida of Revere, Cynthia Riley of Lynn, Lisa Knox of Revere and the late Timothy Knox. Grandfather of Nicole Riley, Danielle Riley, Sean Knox, and Tim Knox.
