Red Sox Foundation, Sox co-owner Steve Somers hit a home run with $10,000 award at Malden High Scholarship Night Another record night: Bar raised again as over 50 MHS Class of 2025 seniors receive record $129,000 in scholarships from 75 sponsors By Steve Freker S he may have made her mark these past four years in the classroom and on the volleyball court, but on this night, for a special Malden High senior, it was all about baseball — and another uncommon woman in MHS history. Helen Manning excelled in the classroom in the mid-1940s at the height of World War II, earning all As on her report card in a time when it was not expected and seldom acknowledged for young women. A 1946 Malden High School graduate who yearned to continue learning after high school years, Helen never had the opportunity — like so many other women before and after her time — to go on and matriculate in college. It was an unfulfilled longing that kept her devotion to education at full flame when she became a mother and embraced the task of raising her son, Steve Somers. “My mother made sure that I fully understood the value and importance of education and learning in my life from an early age,” Somers, a highly successful entrepreneur and philanthropist, told a receptive audience at the annual Senior Scholarship Night at Malden High School’s Jenkins Auditorium on May 27, “and my mother, Helen Manning, had this respect and love for education ingrained in her right here at Malden High School!” Somers would go on to award $10,000 in a single scholarship AWARD | SEE PAGE 8 SOMERS SCHOLARSHIP: The Somers Scholarship, which was presented by Boston Red Sox co-owner Steve Somers (second from left), was a $10,000 award given to Abigail Lee (third from left), who is shown with her parents, along with Malden Superintendent of Schools Dr. Timothy Sippel (at left), Malden High School Principal Chris Mastrangelo (right) and Red Sox Foundation Director of Development Kiana Swepson.

Margie Labedz was nominated by Senator Jason Lewis for her many years of strong support and advocacy for the military and veteran communities. Margie Labedz was raised in Malden, currently resides in Winchester, and has been a stalwart advocate for veterans and servicemembers for her entire life. As a part of the Victory Troubadours during World War II, Margie would sing, dance, and take time out of high school to perform for the troops overseas. Along with her family in Massachusetts, she would support soldiers before, throughout, and after their service with food and entertainment, as well as by sending countless care packages and letters to soldiers who did not have family supporting them during their service. As a member of the Red Cross, Margie would visit hospitals to visit soldiers and has continued to volunteer and run programs for hospitals in the years since. Her devotion to the military is deeply personal—her father, brother, husband, and sons all served in the military. She is a member of the VFW Auxiliary and is the current president of the Winchester VFW Auxiliary. Margie continues to coordinate remembrance ceremonies throughout the region and to march in the Winchester Veterans and Memorial Day parades each year. “I was so proud to nominate Margie for this award. She works hard every day to ensure that our veterans, past and present, are remembered and well taken care of,” said State Senator Jason Lewis. “Margie ensures that we honor and appreciate our veterans’ commitment to our nation, and this is an opportunity for us to honor her in return for her countless years of service to the community.” Governor Maura Healey, Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, Senate President Karen Spilka, and Veterans Services Secretary Jon Santiago were joined by retired General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. (former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 36th Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps) to celebrate the inaugural Military Appreciation Day at the State House. General Dunford delivered a keynote address discussing the legacy of service, leadership, and community and the importance of honoring those who serve across generations.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 13, 2025 ~ Malden Musings ~ Dave Pashoian; Hall of Fame Bound? By Peter Levine T here is a question being asked from the Mid-Atlantic’s Potomac River all the way to the Malden River: Why isn’t Dave Pashoian in the MHS Golden Tornado Sports Hall of Fame? Reliable sources (his brother Norman, who lives not far from the Potomac) reminded me recently that Dave Pash has nine varsity letters for basketball, baseball and golf; three-year starter in baseball and a two-year starter in basketball (with significant playing time as a sophomore). Dave was captain of the hoop and golf teams and a GBL All-Star in B-ball his senior year. Throw into the mix that he’s on the all-time assist list — according to them that know — and his entry into the HOF should be a slam dunk. I played hoop with Dave’s two older brothers — Mark & Norm — both outstanding players and key contributors to the MHS hoop team during their playing years (mid 70s). I watched Dave play high school hoop and most times he was the most dominant player, clocking in at 5' 9" at the most. I also played hoops with Dave post high school and there were few better; always a very tough cover and a point of pride to try to contain him. Dave comes from a long line of outstanding ball players that grew up in the Linden area. A worthy candidate in my (sometimes) humble opinion. Speaking of the Pashoians, Dave’s big brah Norm reached out to me last week to contribute to the hockey players of past Maldonia obsession kick I’ve been on lately. Take it away Norm: “A voice from the past wishes to share with you the Pash family’s connection to Malden hockey. My dad, Norm Jr., and his brothers Eddie and Warren, would skate from their house onto Huntington Field’s frozen tundra. Linden Park at that time also housed an outdoor ring. Norm eventually played for the Tornado hockey team but dropped off due to a knee injury (perhaps his sophomore year). My sister holds a team picture from that period. Jimmy Murphy’s dad, Dennis ‘Red’ Murphy, was also on the team at that time (43-44). Warren skated first line for the Tornados for 3 seasons. Future Olympian Richard [Rodenhiser] was his teammate for one or two seasons. He was an All-Eastern Mass all-star at least once or perhaps twice.” Wonderful, Norman, thank you! Hope to see you at the 50th Class Reunion later in the year. In 2013, Norm Pashoian (paNorman Pashoian’s Malden High School 1946 Senior picture triarch of the family) hung up his bellman’s cap after an astonishing 66 years of service at the legendary Taj Hotel in Boston — once known as the Ritz Carlton. His career wasn’t just long; it was storied. Over the decades, Norm opened doors and carried bags for the giants of history: Ted Williams, Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, Joe DiMaggio, Joe Kennedy Sr. and Jackie Onassis, to name a few. But perhaps his most important guest arrived in 1950 — Claire, the woman who would become his wife. He met her on the job, at the hotel SABATINO/MASTROCOLA INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 Auto * Home * Boat * Renter * Condo * Life * Multi-Policy Discounts * Commercial 10% Discounts * Registry Service Also Available Sabatino Insurance is proud to welcome the loyal customers of ALWAYS READY TO SERVE YOU: Our Staff are, Emma Davidson, Jeimy Sanchez, Josephine Leone, Marie D’Amore, Rocco Longo, Z’andre Lopez, Anthony DiPierro, Darius Goudreau, Laurette Murphy, Danielle Goudreau and Tina Davidson.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 13, 2025 Page 7 that would be his only employer, and she was unforgettable. Claire’s beauty was matched by a rare spark; if you never had the chance to know her, you missed something truly special. The Pashoian legacy didn’t end with Norm and Claire — it was just getting started. Their four bambinos — Norman, Mark, Lisa and Dave — all graduated from Malden High with honors, with the boys adding their own shine to the city’s sports scene. Norman and Mark were fixtures at the Malden Y, sinking jumpers with swagger before their sacred post-hoop pilgrimage to Riley’s Roast Beef — a late-night rite of passage in Malden Square. And then there’s Dave: a oneman varsity machine who racked up an eye-popping nine letters in just three years. He wasn’t just a student-athlete — he was a walking highlight reel, a strong contender for a spot in Malden’s athletic Hall of Fame. And let’s not forget Lisa — graceful, brilliant and, frankly, the reason the “Pash Brahs” didn’t scare off every spectator. She brought beauty to the bleachers and poise to the proceedings. Danny, that’s said with all due respect (and a wink). The Pashoians didn’t just play sports, they became a beloved Malden family and still are. It is said in “Malden Musings”... • We get letters...from my main man with that pecan tan Timmy Bourque: “Hey Peter, just read your column. Awesome job as usual. Loved the bit about great Malden hockey players of days gone by. All those named are certainly worthy of Malden hockey royalty. But don’t forget my former Gale Street neighbor and longtime Malden Firefighter Jimmy Vazarkis. Jimmy is a great guy and an awesome athlete…. not only in hockey but in baseball/softball as well. Keep on writing, my friend. I should also mention that today April 25th would have been my brother Bobby (Tar) Bourque’s birthday.” Thank you, Timmy. “Malden Musings” will never forget your big brother and my classmate at MHS. • One more State of the City comment (I promise): Congratulations (once again) to Pasquale Petrangelo’s niece, Communications Director Elaina Savino, on the yeoman behind-thescenes effort she put in making this year something really special (in her very first try, I gotta note). The “Jeopardy!” theme? Wicked good! • I’ll be the first to admit — hockey was never my sport. My good time pals can vouch for that; I could barely stay upright on skates. And to be honest, it was just too damn cold! But that didn’t stop me from becoming a die-hard fan of Bobby Orr and the Big Bad Bruins, or later (name drop alert) the Lyndon “LB” Byers/Cam Neely era. Those were the days — sweating through “businessman’s workouts” at the old Y before heading over to Cai’s Playoff Pub on Pearl Street to properly rehydrate with LB, Cam and the rest of the gang. • I always forget (Edgeworth’s) Richie “Red” Howard, Joey Mayne, Bobby McCarthy, Buddy Lawler and Bobby Gallagher when I speak of hockey greats from yesteryear. Thanks to Frank “Always Looking for Malden Postcards” Levine for jolting my memory of these long ago but never forgotten skaters. • The June 3rd City Council Meeting may eventually be known as the night Craig Spadafora cemented his place in the Maldonia Elected Officials Hall of Fame. Must-see TV! • Malden Police Chief Glenn Cronin could not have said it any better honoring Officer Robert Selfridge on his retirement. Take it away, Chief G Crow: “your 27 years of devoted service to the MPD and the City of Malden have been a shining example of courage, honor, and dedication. As you retire, we honor your remarkable contributions and wish you and your family a long and joyful retirement.” Congratulations, Rob, and thank you for your service and for being a good guy. • We get letters...this one from the stable genius with the very large “a brain” from Bowman Street, Kevin Larson: “Maldonians who have left a fingerprint on our beloved 02148. John Monte bon vivant of Devir Park and gate keeper of Malden’s crown jewel. Shy Donahue aka Mr. John St. Don Daley aka Mr. Emerald St./Mr. Hockey. Eddie Larson - Malden’s Mr. Baseball.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 13, 2025 MHS Class of 2025 Salutatorian Speech By Hailey Tran G ood afternoon, everyone! Congratulations to all of us, Class of 2025 and family, we made it. I’m Hailey Tran. I am honored to be standing in front of you as the salutatorian of the Class of 2025 today. Class of 2025, we’ve finally made it to the end! It’s been an interesting four years, but thankfully we’ve gotten through it. I’d like to recognize some of the people that have had a role in the success of our class today. Thank you, Mayor Christenson, Superintendent Dr. Sippel, Mrs. Jennifer Spadafora of the Malden School Committee, and all of your teams, for coming to so many of our events and extracurriculars, and for all of your unwavering support of not only the Malden High School Class of 2025, but the entirety of Malden. Mayor Christenson, when I was in 6th grade, I won an essay contest, and you gave me a citation to recognize me along with advice to keep persevering; it motivated me to keep pushing to reach my goals. Thank you for your summer youth employment program; it means a lot to us students. For me it meant that I got the chance to intern under City Solicitor Alicia McNeil, who I thank along with her team for all of the insight they gave me into careers and for all of their support. Thank you to the City Councilors for providing opportunities for youth to get involved in the community. Councilor Amanda Linehan, thank you for the opportunity to serve as a Youth Representative on the Malden Center for Arts and Culture Steering Committee, it gave me a greater sense of belonging in Malden. Thank you, State Representative Steven Ultrino, for continuing to support Malden High School at the Massachusetts Student Government Day. Thank you, Malden Public Library Librarians and staff, especially Mrs. Rebecca Smith, Mrs. Cathy Bartlett, and Ms. Carol Woodruff. You all encouraged not only me, but so many others, when we were young and spending time at the library, to keep reading. Without all of your support, I would not have such a love for reading and writing. Thank you as well to the Malden Youth Center and Malden Recreation Department for providing so many outdoor activities and programs to support teens and youth during afterschool hours so that we all have the chance to explore different things in and out of our community. Class of 2025, don’t forget to find a way to give back to your community, because it’s helped you get this far. Class of 2025, remember to always be grateful for the people who teach you and guide you through life. Guidance and advice from all of our teachers will live in our hearts and support us through moments where we want to give up. Hailey Tran MHS Class of 2025 Salutatorian Thank you to all of the teachers, counselors, and staff at Malden High who have taught others and I in the Class of 2025. Principal Mr. Mastrangelo, thank you for reminding me that our paths are never-ending and always changing and to always keep going through them, as well as for always finding the time to be a down-to-earth principal that cares for all the students. Mr. Tivnan, you fed my interest in law through all your law classes, and I thank you for all of your help through AP Gov, Mock Trial, and Student Government Day. Ms. Clapp, your classes taught me so much about public speaking and English. That’s why I’m standing here. I thank you both for your advice and all of your insight, it has never failed me. Ms. Mayer and Ms. Brookes, I’m grateful for the solid foundation of Spanish skills that you’ve taught me that are giving me the ability to pursue more advanced courses in college. Class of 2025, we’ve all creat50 ed friendships that can last. Remember to keep your friendships strong and to support one another to keep striving for success. A lot of people think of rubber ducks as just children’s bath toys, but to me, receiving ducks means victory, because at a lot of the larger swim meets, the winners receive rubber ducks. So, Susila Wong, Kathleen Yick, Megyn Ta, Linh Le, Stephanie Wong, and Erica Lu, thank you for all of the mini rubber ducks, they’ve gotten me through the last month with all the laughter. We’ve all gone through so many ups and downs through these last four years, especially with the AP exams and stressful college applications, but we’ve come out on top and won, so now the ducks are on my grad cap for all of us. I wasn’t able to mention all of my friends in this speech, but I think you know who you are. I treasure all of our friendships and all of you have always pushed me to be better. Class of 2025, remember that you should never give up on doing the things you love. Mr. Conefrey, thank you for providing an environment for everyone to try out new sports and to thrive in all of the sports provided at Malden High. For me, that was swimming, and for a while, volleyball. Thank you to all of my coaches for all your guidance and to my teammates for cheering me on through these four years. I’ve looked forward to every season with you. Some of you may not know what this next person does for us behind the scenes. Ms. Marquardo, thank you for getting the team and I through the beginning of this season; we missed you a lot after captains’ practices! You’re always there for all of us students, and you go way above and beyond what any of us could ever ask for. I still remember my dream when I was young: to become a competitive swimmer. I can still recall my first swim coach at my first swim lesson; I had four floaties on my back and four noodles on my front, and I kept struggling even though they definitely knew I wasn’t going to sink. My coach encouraged me to keep trying and gave me the confidence to do so, and now I’ve gained all these swimming accomplishments. That same coach was also my last varsity swim coach. Coach Grillon, you were with me for two of my biggest swimming milestones, so thank you. Last, but certainly not least, I’d like to thank the people closest to my heart. Without my family, I would absolutely not have made it this far. Mom and dad, you’ve unconditionally supported me through the stressful days and driven me to all my extracurriculars morning practices even when you only have a couple hours of sleep, and away meets in what feels like has been every state by this point. You always encourage me to try new things, to push myself to excel in whatever I choose to, to strive to always be a humble, respectful, and kind person, and you never let me get down on myself for too long. Sophie, you’re not just my little sister, but you’re mighty, and someone that’s always pushing me to swim better — because you’re competitive. Even though we disagree sometimes, and the MIAA announcer always thinks we’re the same person for at least the beginning of the championships, I always know I can count on you to be there for me when I need it, and for you to be there with me to celebrate our victories. I’d like to thank these next few family members in their native language, Cantonese. 公公、婆婆、二姨、三姨 姨, 雖然你們住在遠方，但 每一次我需要你們的時候， 我好感激你們每一次都會 放低手頭的工作來幫我。I love you all. Class of 2025, we’ve all worked so hard to get to this point, and we’ll continue to thrive in the future. As we keep moving forward into the next chapter of our lives, I hope you keep caring about our community, being grateful for those who guide you through life, preserving your friendships, pursuing your dreams, and cherishing your loved ones. I wish you all the best! Thank you.

In his very first game, in his very first at bat, on his very first swing, Malden High School's DaLayne also finished with 18 stolen bases and scored 23 runs to lead the team as well. Defensively, the Malden High freshman played every game at second base and was solid for the entire year. SPRING POP-UP MARKET Davante Layne, Malden High baseball freshman, was the Greater Boston League Batting Champion with a .556 batting mark this past spring. Above, he is shown with his parents Tara and Ramon and other family members at the Malden High Baseball end-ofseason dinner. (Courtesy/ Malden High School Athletics) vante Layne smashed a line drive single into right center, between the first and second basemen of Salem Charter Academy. Truth be told? The Golden Tornado ninth-grader started his Malden High baseball career in a state of en fuego in that first games of the season, and he never did cool off. Layne had his first multi-hit game of the season (2-for-4)— one of 12 games where he had more than one base hit— and basically never looked back. When the season finally came to an end, in a hard-luck loss in the opening game of the MIAA Division 1 State Baseball Tournament, Layne (who went 2-for4 in that game as well) had put together a season for the ages. Layne finished the season with the top batting average for a Malden High School player in decades, going 30-for-54 and .556 overall. The Golden Tornado ninth grader was one of a group of talented freshmen who became integral parts of the Malden season in their very first years. For the season, Malden had freshman in the everyday lineup batting leadoff (Davante Layne), hitting third was freshman Nick D'Anna, who manned third base the entire season and batting fifth was freshman Devin Milonopolous, who was the designated hitter and played in the outfield. D'Anna hit over .370 for the season and Milonopolous was at .341.All three and other classmates are expected to contribute in big ways again next year and thereafter.

Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 13, 2025 Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen HE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives' votes on roll calls from the week of June 2-6. There were no roll calls in the Senate last week. REGULATE CANNABIS (H 4187) House 153-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that makes several changes to the state’s cannabis laws that supporters say would allow the cannabis industry to continue growing responsibly. The bill makes changes to the structure of the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC), increases the number of retail licenses that an entity may have, lowers the barrier to entry for medical marijuana retail, increases purchase limits for consumers and patients and addresses the selling of hemp products. The bill creates an oversight structure for the importation, manufacture and sale of two forms of consumable federally legal hemp products: hemp beverages and consumable CBD products. Under the bill, both products may only be sold if registered with the CCC. The bill instructs the CCC to develop regulations for hemp product registration that aligns with regulations for marijuana products, Law Offices of JOSEPH D.

CATALDO, CPA, CFP, MST, ESQUIRE. AICPA Personal Financial Specialist Designee including a prohibition on any product containing synthetic cannabinoids. The products may only be manufactured from concentrate that complies with federal potency limits on hemp. Other provisions include increasing the purchase and possession limit from one to two ounces of marijuana; increasing from two ounces to three ounces the possession limit that would result in a civil penalty or drug awareness programming for those under 21; restructuring the CCC by making the governor the sole appointing authority – replacing current law which gives that authority to the trio of the governor, treasurer and attorney general; and requiring the chair of the CCC to serve coterminously with the governor. The bill also incrementally raises from three to six the limit on the number of retail licenses any individual or entity may hold and requires that priority consideration for licenses be given to social equity businesses, minority businesses, woman businesses and veteran businesses. “This legislation not only makes needed changes to the structure of the Cannabis CCC, it’s also representative of the House’s commitment to ensuring that the cannabis industry in Massachusetts is regulated in a manner that bolsters economic opportunity, especially for communities that were disproportionately impacted by the criminalization of marijuana,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “[The bill] calls for restructuring the composition and appointing authority of the CCC, which has been seen for some time now as dysfunctional and, in the words of the Inspector General, ‘rudderless’ when it comes to who is responsible for overseeing its day-to-day operations,” said House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “The bill contains additional reforms by establishing standards for licensing, compliance and testing of intoxicating hemp-derived beverages and other consumable CBD products which can cause impairment but are widely available at many of the state’s convenience stores and gas stations. I supported this bill because it will protect consumers and support businesses by strengthening the cannabis industry’s regulatory framework.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes OUT-OF-STATE TESTING LABORATORIES (H 4187 House 154-0, approved an amendment to a section of the cannabis bill which requires outof-state testing laboratories used by Massachusetts to meet certain standards, including being licensed in its home state to test hemp and cannabis. The amendment would add an additional provision that the testing laboratory must also be certified and in good standing with the Massachusetts CCC. “The underlying bill … sets a definition for what constitutes a qualified out-of-state testing laboratory to make sure it meets certain standards, including being licensed in its home state to test hemp and cannabis,” said Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “This amendment adds a further provision that the testing laboratory also be certified and in good standing with the CCC to ensure that Massachusetts’ testing standards are not compromised and consumers are fully protected.” Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham), the sponsor of the amendment, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on passage of his amendment. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL “DONUT SPARE TIRES (H 3694) – The Transportation Committee held a hearing on legislation that would prohibit vehicles operating on a “donut” spare tire from driving in the high-speed lane nearest to the left side of the road. A "donut" spare is a tire that is smaller than a conventional tire and takes up less room in the trunk of the car. Supporters said that donuts are designed to only drive up to 50 miles at speeds of up to 50 mph. “Driving at speeds higher than this with a donut spare, which the high-speed lanes normally run at, not only puts the driver at risk, but surrounding cars as well,” said sponsor Rep. Steve Howitt (R-Seekonk). ELECTRIC AND GAS RATES (S 2238) - The Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 13, 2025 Page 13 Energy held a hearing on a measure that would prohibit the Department of Public Utilities from approving any rate request that would result in a utility earning a higher profit than what is allowed in five neighboring states. “Massachusetts ratepayers are experiencing some of the highest costs in the nation,” said sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton). “Now is the time for an all-hands on deck effort focused on reducing costs to ratepayers. In recent years, DPU regulators have approved utility rates resulting in returns on equity for utilities that are higher than what utilities are allowed to earn in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. The result has been Massachusetts ratepayers paying millions more annually on their utility bills so that utilities can earn higher profits in Massachusetts than in surrounding states." CAP HOSPITAL PROFITS AND SALARY OF HOSPITAL CEOS (H 1398) –The Health Care Financing Committee held a hearing on a legislation that would require that in any hospital which accepts state funding,if the CEO’s annual compensation is greater than 50 times the lowest paid employee, the facility will be subject to a civil penalty equal to the amount by which the Chief Executive Officer's annual compensation exceeds 50 times the value of the lowest paid employee. Another provision provides that any state-funded hospital whose annual operating margin (profit) is more than 8 percent will be subject to a civil penalty equal to the amount by which the annual operating margin exceeds 8 percent. "[The bill] represents a necessary step to ensure that our state’s burgeoning healthcare industry is guided by fairness and accountability,” said sponsor Rep. Jim O’Day (D-West Boylston). “As it stands, hospitals and licensed healthcare institutions are some of the most profitable entities in Massachusetts, with executive pay rivaling that of the highest-paid corporate CEOs. Meanwhile, safety-net hospitals – those serving low-income and underserved populations – often struggle to stay afloat. To address this inequity, the proposal introduces financial fairness standards by placing a cap on executive pay and redirecting excess revenue into the public, needs-based system.” O’Day continued, “When hospitals prioritize profit over patient outcomes, treatments are delayed, emergency departments become understaffed and entire communities are left without critical care. As a result, this legislation is essential to safeguard public health." RESTRICT ABILITY OF CRIMINAL OFFENDERS TO PROFIT FROM THEIR CRIME (H 1789) – The Judiciary Committee held a hearing on a bill that would restrict the ability of criminal offenders to profit financially by undertaking any ventures that capitalize on the infamy of their crime. The bill sets forth a procedure to determine if the criminal offender is attempting to make money from the notoriety surrounding their actions by allowing the Attorney General, by and through the Division of Victim Compensation, to investigate and monitor such profits, and to distribute these profits to victims who were victimized by the underlying crime. “This bill seeks to protect victims of crime by making sure that incarcerated felons do not reap unexpected financial benefits from their wrongful actions,” said sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “It not only takes steps to ensure that criminals do not profit from their crimes while in jail but also establishes a process for using this money to compensate their victims as a form of restitution.” ALLOW PETS IN PUBLIC STATE-FUNDED HOUSING (H 1476) – A bill heard by the Housing Committee would reinstate the elderly state-aided housing pet program which was inadvertently eliminated when the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities was established in 2023. The program allows elderly residents of public housing to have pets. This bill would also expand the pet program to apply to all state-aided housing, without restrictions on a dog’s breed, size, weight or appearance. In addition, it would prevent state-aided public housing facilities from requiring pet declawing in line with Massachusetts law prohibiting this practice, requiring unreasonably expensive pet deposits or evicting a tenant because they own a pet. Another provision would create an advisory group to help develop and effectively implement pet-friendly policies in state-funded housing. "Elderly residents should not have to choose between access to housing and keeping their pets,” said sponsor Rep. Tackey Chan (D-Quincy). “The provisions outlined in this bill are crucial for ensuring elderly residents in state-aided housing can remain with their pets safely and without unfair restrictions." FLY FLAG OUTSIDE CONDOS (H 1555) – Another proposal before the Housing Committee wouldprohibit any condominium association from denying a unit owner the right to fly or display the flag of the United States, the official flag of the United States Armed Forces or a Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flag in a window of the unit. The measure limits the size of the flag to 4.5 feet by 6 feet in size and prohibits any flag from obstructing the sightlines of other unit owners. “This bill stems from a constituent several years ago being told they could not fly the American flag- which she vehemently disagreed with,” said sponsor Rep. Dave Muradian (R-Grafton). ALLOW BUSINESSES TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS A FEE TO COVER CREDIT CARD FEES (S 194) – The Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure heard a bill that would allow Massachusetts businesses to charge customers a fee to cover the cost of the processing fees that the credit card companies charge the business, provided that the surcharge amount is not greater than the actual cost to the seller and is posted prominently on their premises and website. “I filed this bill after hearing from a small business owner in my district whose auto repair shop is struggling to stay afloat under the weight of rapidly rising credit card processing fees,” said sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton). “His experience is not unique. It reflects a growing challenge faced by small businesses across the commonwealth. Credit card fees add an unnecessary challenge to the operation of small businesses. Credit card companies and banks charge businesses for accepting credit cards by attaching a fee to transactions. These fees range from 2 to 4 percent of the transaction, despite the total cost of such transactions only being around 3.6 cents.” Comerford continued, “Large companies have leverage to negotiate better rates with these credit card companies and banks. However, small businesses do not have this luxury and are forced to bear the cost. While other states allow businesses to pass this fee to the consumer through surcharges, Massachusetts is one of two states that prohibit this. Small businesses play a vital role in the economy of Massachusetts. In 2024, these businesses comprised 99.5 percent of businesses in the commonwealth and employed 43.9 percent of Massachusetts' employees. However, a 2025 study from the UMass Donahue Institute reported that 51 percent of retailers are likely to close or sell their business in the next five years, citing high-cost business challenges as a main factor behind their decision.” REGULATE BODY ART (H 321) – Another measure heard by the Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure would require the state to establish regulations and licensing for the body art and modification industry. Body art includes tattooing, piercing, branding and scarification and is currently regulated at the municipal level. Doctors who practice body art as a part of patient treatment and individuals who pierce only ears would be exempt from the bill. The bill establishes standards for businesses conducting body art, including procedures, sterilization, equipment, facilities and instruments. An individual licensed to perform body modification or body art would be required to have taken a college-level course in both anatomy and physiology, a course on the prevention of disease transmission from bloodborne pathogens, hold a certification in basic first aid and have two years of experience in the practice of body art either as part of an apprenticeship or from working in the field outside of the state. “Body art has grown in popularity, but the lack of consistent statewide standards puts both practitioners and clients at risk,” said sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers (D-Quincy). “This bill ensures proper training, health safeguards, and oversight, so that every body art procedure in Massachusetts meets the highest standards of safety and professionalism.” QUOTABLE QUOTES\ “Office to housing conversions are transformative for our main streets and downtowns. Building new housing from vacant buildings is a long-term investment in the community, providing more living options for residents, a renewed tax base and more customers for local businesses.” ---Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll on the Healey Administration awarding $7.4 million in for two office to housing conversion projects that will create nearly 200 new units in downtown Boston. “This program was inspired by my own journey as a public safety intern nearly three decades ago. Our goal is to give students the tools, relationships and real-world insight that can spark a lifelong career in public service. The passion and diversity this cohort brings makes me optimistic for the future of public safety in Massachusetts.” ---Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy on the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security’s Internship Program which continues to serve as a pipeline for talented, mission-driven individuals interested in careers in public safety and government service. “This program is a great example of government being innovative and supporting people’s financial and career goals based on their needs and unique circumstances.” ---Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett) on the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities awarding more than $1 million to local housing authorities and regional administering agencies this month to promote economic opportunity for public housing residents. “The data are clear. Lead was detected in most of the taps tested at schools and childcare centers across the state and we know children are the most impacted from exposure to lead. BHRC| SEE PAGE 19

This announcement is part of the Trump Administration’s push to restore America’s manufacturing strength, advance America’s role as a technology leader, and put American workers first. Micron is the only U.S.-based As part of their Helping Hands initiative, Forestdale Park residents and team members were honored to drop off donations of much-needed items to the Malden Immigrant Family Services Institute to support Haitian immigrants. This donation drive was inspired by the Forestdale Park residents and associates who wanted to make a difference and provide invaluable resources for the families facing these challenging times.

Currently, 100% of leading-edge DRAM production occurs overseas, primarily in East Asia. Micron will build on its existing investments in Idaho and New York to construct a second stateof-the-art chip fabrication facility in Boise, Idaho. Micron will also expand and modernize their fabrication facility in Manassas, Virginia to onshore critical technology from Taiwan. This facility will greatly improve supply chain resiliency for automotive and industrial markets and the defense industrial base. Micron will bring advanced High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) packaging capabilities and R&D to drive American technology leadership. Micron’s expanded $200 billion investment also includes up to two additional fabrication facilities in New York. Previously, the Department of Commerce awarded up to $6.165 billion in CHIPS Act direct funding on December 10, 2024, as part of Micron’s commitment to build three fabrication facilities in Idaho and New York. Today’s expanded investment of $200 billion is accompanied by up to $275 million in incremental CHIPS Act direct funding. Together, these projects in Idaho, New York, and Virginia will create 90,000 jobs and reinforce the Trump Administration’s commitment to rebuilding American industry, spurring private-sector innovation, and putting America First. “President Trump has made it clear that the time to build in America is now,” said Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. “In partnership with the Department of Commerce, Micron is announcing a $200 billion semiconductor manufacturing and R&D investment to bring the full spectrum of memory chip production back to the United States. Micron’s planned investment will ensure the U.S. advances its lead across critical industries like AI, automotive, and aerospace & defense. And we’re doing it at a scale that secures American technology dominance for decades to come. Micron’s commitment to Idaho, New York, and Virginia is a huge win for our economy, our national security, and American workers.” To support this investment, the United States Investment Accelerator will partner with Micron to provide white glove service to expedite permitting requirements. The Trump Administration has also streamlined the Biden Administration’s onerous policy requirements for the awards for Idaho, New York and Virginia. "Micron's U.S. memory manufacturing and R&D plans underscore our commitment to driving innovation and strengthening the domestic semiconductor industry," said Micron Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. “This approximately $200 billion investment will reinforce America’s technological leadership, create tens of thousands of American jobs across the semiconductor ecosystem and secure a domestic supply of semiconductors—critical to economic and national security. We are grateful for the support from President Trump, Secretary Lutnick and our federal, state and local partners who have been instrumental in advancing domestic semiconductor manufacturing."

I read your article from May 30, 2025, “Malden Lions Meet Malden Disability Commission,” with great hope. You wrote about efforts to ensure equal access to facilities, services, and programs. But I must ask: Where is that equal access in our own City Hall? I am 79 years old and rely on a wheelchair. Since the new City Hall was built, I have been unable to enter or exit through its front doors on my own. I cannot tell you the humiliation and helplessness I feel having to ask strangers for assistance or being The Pamela Perry Wickwire Scholarship Fund: Emma Strano, $3,000. told simply, “We are compliant — nothing more needs to be done.” This is the third letter I’ve written. I am trying — truly trying — to speak up not just for myself, but for every senior, every person using a wheelchair, a walker, a cane, or crutches who faces these barriers every day. Do we not deserve the dignity of entering our government buildings independently? Do we not deserve to be heard? Please — I am asking, once again, for your voice and your help.

Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 13, 2025 OBITUARY Paul M. DeMayo Passed away on June 5, 2025. He was 85 years old. Paul was born and raised in Malden and spent the majority of his life there. The city always had a special place in his heart. He spent his youth growing up in the Edgeworth neighborhood surrounded by family and friends that would remain with him for a lifetime. He was a member of Malden High's class of 1958, and while playing football during that time his kicking skills earned him the nickname of "The Golden Toe". He was a proud veteran of the US Army serving in the First Recon Squadron 14th Armored Cavalry and performed border duty between the US and USSR in Germany during the Cold War. He spent his early working years in local shipyards, primarily at General Dynamics in Quincy MA. And he spent his later working years at Massport at Logan Airport, where he retired from in 2013. Paul was an avid football fan and had the honor of coaching many Malden youth in the Pop Warner program. He was always eager to attend high school football games, especially if his grandsons were playing. While he would never be considered a chef, he was famous among many for his pasta fazoul. It truly had a cult following! Never one to shy away from a crowd, Paul was often the life of the party wherever he went. He loved telling and hearing jokes and sharing a great meal and a laugh with family and friends. He will be dearly missed. Paul was pre-deceased by his brother Donald DeMayo (1988) and his son Paul E DeMayo (2005). He is REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS CITY OF MALDEN - OFFICE OF THE CONTROLLER The City of Malden invites sealed price, and non-priced proposals, in accordance with M.G.L. c.30B, §6, from Vendors for: REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE SERVICES Proposals will be received by THURSDAY JULY 17, 2025, BY 2:00 P.M. at the Office of the Controller, 215 Pleasant Street 2nd Floor, Malden MA 02148.

Chuha Clerk June 6, 13, 2025 T he Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) protects assets held in a qualified retirement plan from the reach of creditors. What about IRA’s? Are they a protected asset? The trend in recent years has been to bring IRA’s in line with qualified plans in terms of protection against creditors. In Patterson v. Shumate, 504 U.S. 753 (1992), the Supreme Court ruled that an interest in an ERISA qualified trust is excluded from a debtor’s bankruptcy estate. In Rousey v. Jacoway, 544 U.S. 320 (2005), the Court ruled that Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA’s) are similarly exempt. Subsequently, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 amended the Bankruptcy Code to provide that IRA’s and Roth IRA’s are exempt up to certain limits that are adjusted every three years. The latest update in March of this year brought the level of protection up to $1,711,975. In Massachusetts, under Mass General Laws, Chapter 235, Section 34A, amounts that have been rolled over from a qualified retirement plan into an IRA are protected from all credFor Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net ASSET PROTECTION CONCERNS WITH IRA’S itors’ claims other than those connected with divorce, child support, or criminal penalties or restitution. This is exactly the same degree of protection as is provided by the statute for qualified plans. If you roll money from your 401(k) plan into an IRA account that includes non-ERISA contributions, the liability protection level will not be unlimited. Liability protection will be limited to $1,711,975. This is an example of a co-mingled IRA account. IRA contributions other than rollovers made during the 5-year period preceding the IRA owner’s declaration of bankruptcy are protected only to the extent of an amount equal to 7% of the individual’s income during that 5-year period. For the calendar year 2025, the maximum amount you can contribute to an IRA is $7,000. For anyone 50 years or older, the additional catch-up contribution is $1,000. These same limitations apply to Roth IRA’s. Individuals who receive compensation (e.g. W-2 income), including alimony, that is includible in gross income, are entitled to make contributions to Traditional or Roth IRA’s per the SECURE Act of 2019, regardless of age. Previously, the age limit was 70 ½. When you or your spouse are an active participant in a qualified retirement plan, the deduction may be reduced or even eliminated depending on how high your adjusted gross income is. You need to make the contribution by 4-15-26 for a calendar year 2025 deduction. Filing for an extension will not give you extra time to make the IRA contribution for calendar year 2025. For married individuals filing joint returns, if both taxpayers are active participants in an employer’s qualified retirement plan, their ability to claim a deduction for contributions made to traditional IRA’s depends upon the amount of their modified adjusted gross income. The allowable deduction will be reduced when modified adjusted gross income is between $126,000 and $146,000. For a single taxpayer, the deduction for an IRA is phased out if he or she is an active participant in a qualified retirement plan and modified adjusted gross income is between $79,000 and $89,000. However, if only one of the married taxpayers is an active participant in a qualified retirement plan, the deductible contribution by the spouse who is not an active participant is phased out if the couple’s modified adjusted gross income is between $236,000 and $246,000. Knowing that you not only get a tax deduction for a contribution to a Traditional IRA and thatthe IRA account is exempt from creditors, one might have one more reason to contribute each year to an IRA.

Who else? • Steve Winslow and Jane Ventrone were kind enough to keep me in the loop about the Trafton Park reopening. They sent some great pictures, and I will be following up with Fran Mauriello soon for the inside scoop on some history at Trafton. Thanks again, Mr. Winslow. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” — I spent one of those rare, balmy Saturday mornings in April doing my best impression of a competent defender (Malden YMCA circa 1988 maybe?) — chasing my 15-year-old grandson Christian around the driveway as he blew past me for yet another uncontested left-handed lay-in. (Side note: It was a lot easier to cover him when he was four feet tall and more interested in juice boxes.) After getting thoroughly schooled, I retreated that evening to the familiar embrace of a cold Narragansett Lager (Hi Neighbor!) and the soothing Savvy Senior by Jim Miller Essential Legal Documents All Seniors Should Have Dear Savvy Senior, What kinds of legal documents do I need to help my family take care of me in my elder years? I would like to get my affairs in order but could use some help. Approaching 80 Dear Approaching, All adults, especially an older adult like yourself, should have at least five legal documents to protect yourself and your family. These documents will make sure your wishes regarding your estate are legal and clear and will help minimize any conflicts and confusion with your family and your health care providers if you become seriously ill or when you die. Here are the key documents you need, along with some tips to help you create them. Durable Power of Attorney: This document allows you to designate someone you trust to handle your financial affairs if you become incapacitated. Advance Directive: This includes two documents that spell out your wishes regarding your end-of-life medical treatment. The two documents are a “living will” which tells your doctor what kind of care you want to receive if you become incapacitated. And a “health care power of attorney” (or health care proxy), which names a person you authorize to make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable. To complement your advance directive, you should also consider getting a Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment – see POLST.org. This is a state specific form that your doctor would fill out that translates your end-of-life wishes into medical orders to ensure your wishes are carried out. A Will: This lets you spell out your wishes of how you’d like your property and assets distributed after you die, whether it’s to family, friends or a charity. It also allows you to designate an executor to ensure your wishes are carried out and allows you to name guardians if you have dependent children. In addition to a will, if you own real estate or have considerable assets, another option you may want to consider is a “revocable living trust.” This functions like a will but allows your estate to avoid the time and expense of probate (the public legal process that examines your estate after you die) and helps ensure your estate’s privacy. HIPPA Release: This form gives your healthcare provider permission to discuss your medical care and medical bills with those you designate. You may need specific HIPAA release forms for each medical professional or health care establishment you deal with. Do-It-Yourself If you have a simple estate and an uncomplicated family situation, there are do-it-yourself resources that can help you create all these documents for a few hundred dollars. Some top-rated options to consider include Quicken WillMaker & Trust software (see WillMaker.com), Trust & Will (TrustandWill.com) and Legal Zoom (LegalZoom.com). Get Help If, however, you want or need assistance or if you have a complicated financial situation, blended family or have considerable assets, you should hire an attorney. An experienced lawyer can make sure you cover all your bases – especially when writing a will or living trust – which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after you’re gone. Costs will vary depending on where you reside, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $500 and $2,000 for a basic estate plan that includes a will, power of attorney and advance directive. If you want your estate plan to include a living trust, that can run anywhere between $1,500 and $5,000. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org) and the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (NAEPC.org) are two good resources that have directories on their websites to help you find someone in your area. If money is tight, check with your state’s bar association (see FindLegalHelp.org) to find lowcost legal help in your area. Or call the Eldercare Locater at 800-677-1116 for a referral.

And wouldn’t you know it! I struck cinematic gold as I stumbled upon Playwright 56’s 1955 adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s “The Battler”, featuring a crazy young Paul Newman. But that’s not what made me sit up in my recliner. No sir! Who should appear on screen almost immediately, sharing credits with Hollywood royalty, but Malden’s very own Richard “Sonny” Collier — credited simply as “truck driver.” Now, Sonny may not have been a household name (except maybe in his own), but he carved out a solid, if underappreciated, career as a Hollywood character actor — despite (from what I have been told) his wife reportedly never being all that impressed. He popped up in “Blazing Saddles,” “Snow White and the Three Stooges,” “Imitation of Life” (with Lana Turner, no less), and even made a splash as Otto Puffendorfer in the gloriously campy 1960s “Batman” TV series. That, my friends, earns him a well-deserved spot in the Maldonia Hall of Fame. In “The Battler,” young Nick Adams — played by Dewey Martin — is out wandering the world, trying to figure himself out. He thumbs a ride and gets picked up by none other than Truck Driver Sonny. As Nick talks dreamily about his future, he nods off in the passenger seat. Sonny listens, nods along, smiles warmly... then casually lifts Nick’s last $30 right out of his pocket. The sly, mischievous glint in Sonny’s eye as he robs the poor kid blind? Worth the price of admission all by itself! Postscript: Speaking of the McCarthys of Emerald Street... where loyalty runs deep and public service runs in the blood.
