This funding is a result of the state legislature’s passage of An Act fi nancing improvements to municipal roads and bridges, which authorized $200 million for repairs and improvements to municipal roads and bridges through the state’s Chapter 90 program. On June 17, 2022, the Governor signed the bill into law. “I’m very pleased that the state legislature is providing these badly needed funds to our local communities for transportation improvements,” said Senator Lewis. “I know that this money will certainly be put to good use in Malden improving roads, sidewalks, and other infrastructure.” “The Chapter 90 Program plays an important role in in the www.advocatenews.net Mass.

Page 2 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 22, 2022 Retired funeral director turned author Stephen Rocco releases new book Available on Amazon.com and BarnsandNoble.com By Marianne Salza ecently retired funeral director Stephen Rocco has been utilizing his experiences in the funeral industry and background in psychology and counseling to write his fi rst fi ctional novels published in June 2022: “The Ecstasy of Pupusas: Filled with Love” and “The Girl R Who Woke Up in the Morgue.” “After 10 years in the funeral business, I wanted to use my skills as a family mediator, so I worked in the court system in Dedham for 15 years,” explained Rocco, a Saugus resident. “These varied jobs ultimately helped me in my writing because I combined my training in psychology with all the people I met. You learn about people’s struggles, grief, and resilience.” In “Ecstasy of Pupusas,” Chelsea, the lonely daughter of a wealthy physician, befriends Maria, the family’s housekeeper. The ladies share their dreams and bond over their love of pupusas, but when a horrible incident alters the families’ lives, Maria, an illegal immigrant, is exiled to her home country of El Salvador. “Their love for one another is challenged by a ter-Help WantedTra visors (Cr ds)    City of Malden Malden Police Department, Traffic Commission The City of Malden seeks Part Time Traffic Supervisors (Crossing Guards) – Multiple Positions.

He eventually escaped through the Mexican desert, where he met his wife, became an American citizen and now manages a cleaning crew. In Rocco’s second novel, “The Girl Who Woke Up in the Morgue,” opiates are claiming the lives of youths in Springdale. When funeral director Sonny Fiorentino – modeled after Rocco’s father – realizes that overdose victim Kelsey Jordan is alive, he saves her, and the pair vow to expose those responsible for the opiate epidemic. “Sonny forms a friendship with the girl who woke up at his morgue, and they make it their mission to uncover a conspiracy in their town,” said Rocco, who set the novel in the early 2000s, when pills were promoted as safe and nonaddictive. “It involves doctors, pharmacists, street dealers, and runners.

(B OSTON – 07/13/2022) State Senator Jason Lewis joined his Senate colleagues in unanimously passing a bipartisan bill to protect healthcare providers, residents, and visitors to the Commonwealth who engage in legally-protected reproductive and gender-affi rming healthcare, including access to abortion. An Act expanding protections for reproductive and gender-affi rming care includes provisions preventing the Commonwealth’s cooperation with ‘bounty-style’ anti-abortion and anti-gender-affi rming care laws in other states; mandates health insurance coverage for abortion and abortion-related care with no cost-sharing for the patient; ensures access to emergency contraception; and provides confi dentiality to providers of reproductive and gender-affi rming care. “In the wake of the shocking Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade, it is imperative for the Commonwealth to ensure that abortion providers are fully protected and patients, whether from Massachusetts or other states, have access to the care they need," said Senator Jason Lewis. "I was proud to join my Senate colleagues in passing this critical legislation to further protect and expand access to reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare in Massachusetts. I'm especially pleased S LANDSCAPE & MASONRY CO.

Under the legislation, physicians, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, psychologists, genetic counselors and social workers are insulated from legal action in Massachusetts courts as a result of providing healthcare services which are legal in Massachusetts. This language specifi cally protects reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare, which has been the target of ‘bounty-style’ laws passed in states like Texas and Oklahoma that seek to limit this critical care beyond their states’ borders. This bill also allows anyone who faces abusive litigation in another state for providing legally protected reproductive and gender-affi rming care services to sue in Massachusetts court to obtain a judgment, including actual damages, expenses, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees. The bill includes prohibitions on Massachusetts law enforcement assisting other states in investigations of legally protected reproductive and gender-affi rming care in Massachusetts, and protections against extradition to another state. The bill also implements a statewide standing order to ensure emergency contraception can be dispensed at all pharmacies in Massachusetts. During the debate, Senator Lewis spoke in support of an amendment he fi led to expand access to medication abortion services on public college and university campuses. This will help address the signifi cant barriers to accessing reproductive healthcare faced by many students today. The amendment was adopted. With a version of An Act expanding protections for reproductive and gender-affi rming care now having passed both branches of the state legislature, the differences between the bill’s two versions will be reconciled before sending a fi nal version to the Governor.

By North End standards the Pearl Street festa is a small one but has an unusually big heart. And a long history. It was started 92 years ago to help the poor Italian immigrants of Edgeworth stay warm in the winter, eat healthy in the summer and stay spiritually connected all year round (as well as drunk for three straight days in August). • Fact: The only time residents from Edgeworth in Ward 2 check the weather report is the week prior to the Saint Rocco Feast. • Speaking of the Feast, Dom ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS...Classic Center Entrance Colonial with all the modern updates, including 4 full baths, beautiful granite kitchen, formal dining room, living room and 20’ family room, all with hardwood flooring. 2nd floor features 3 bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a full, private Jacuzzi bath and an additional 8’ x 11” dressing area or office.

He looks great but when you marry as well as Dom did, it’s easy not to look your age. Dom has done more good things in the last 24 hours than most politicians do in their entire careers. Fact! Dom is one of those guys, an unsung hero if I may ramble on, who has made Malden a fabulous place to live in 2022. He’s been involved with the Feast his whole life. He even goes back to the day when a portion of the weekend’s entertainment was the placing of a white bed sheet across Pearl Street with the 1943 movie “The Song of Bernadette” showing in a loop for the evening. True story. • The Feast was not the same last year without Jimmy Palermo. I loved that man. We all loved that man. Here is what I wrote in 2020 for our Jimmy Palermo: “Where have you gone Jimmy Palermo, Edgeworth turns its lonely eyes to you...Jimmy, I bet you had no idea how much you were loved in your neighborhood. And beyond. You would be embarrassed by all the attention, whether you believed it was deserved, or not. Born into that generation where selfl essness, a strong work ethic, and fi erce devotion to family were ingrained in your DNA. Handed down from your grandfather to your father to yourself to your wonderful children. We are a poorer country, my friend, whenever we lose another of your great generation. Jimmy had swagger. Jimmy had self-confi dence. Jimmy had serious game! I really, really miss his presence.” • The spirit of the late Tony Pisaturo will be hovering over the Feast this year. His family will honor him. We will honor him. The Italian American Band of Lawrence and the Procession will make a special stop at his stoop on Pearl to show their respect for him. It won’t be the same this year, but we’ll toast this special man all weekend long anyway. • Speaking of the procession, so sad to see the Sunday afternoon Procession route, which once numbered most of the streets in Edgeworth, down to a scant few. Families (such as the Pitts, the Goodwins, Gambys, Crowes, Trabuccos, Pisaturos, Toccos, Palermos, Spadaforas, Scibellis) make hard decisions. As their parents age or pass on, as the neighborhood MALDEN: TODAY| SEE PAGE 7

Top of the list are Peter Giuliano, fried dough guy John Wood and Animal Control Officer Kevin Alkins (as always) followed closely by that old warhorse, Billy “President for Life” Settemio. • The entertainment this year is, as always, outstanding! On Sunday your musical sensibilities will be pleasantly assaulted with Malden’s newest fan favorites “Heart Attack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack” bringing the best of Billy Joel right to your doorstep. • Opening the weekend on Friday night (7-11) is one of the hardest working bands on the North Shore, the dance band WildFire. If you’ve ever seen them at Capone’s, Polcari’s, Focaccia’s, Whippersnappers, Scoreboard Bar & Grill or Stonewood Tavern, you know what I am talking about. From AC/DC to Journey, from Lady Gaga to Shakira, to some of the all-time R&B greats, you won’t be disappointed with their set list no matter your taste in music. • Saturday night will be another really big shew. For the first time in Saint Rock history, we have a night of dueling pianos. “Capitana Dueling Pianos” will send you home Saturday night with a song in your heart and a smile on your face (visiting Albert’s Beer Garden frequently this night will enhance that effect). What exactly is “dueling pianos” and what should you expect, you may be asking. Dueling pianos is described as a high-energy, interactive show that actually puts you in charge of the set list! The show is all-request, and sing-alongs are highly encouraged. Audience members can also “outbid” each other to get their songs played faster. Davina Yannetty, Ricky Lauria and Neil Haven will be taking your song requests all Saturday evening. Prepare to hear music you love, belt your heart out and have the time of your life. Guaranteed! Have I ever lied to you or fed you fake news? Don’t answer that, Pete Robinson. My prediction for the night – Kenny Coye, Joe Bagz, Hoss Condon, Louie Yanakopoulos and Dana Brown will be singing show tunes all the way home! Go to YouTube and search for Davina – a dynamic performer sure to bring delight into your “Groundhog Day” lives. • The fun continues on Sunday afternoon for a third straight day (right after the Procession)! Old friend Steve Savio brings his band Sea Breeze, one of the premier Italian American show bands this side of the North End, back to the gritty streets of Malden once again. Sea Breeze perform everything – from Broadway hits to Italian favorites to American standards to popular songs – and regularly play at Italian feasts in New York, Boston’s North End and East Boston, as well as other Italian fests throughout Massachusetts. Request “Al di là,” the Italian ballad made famous by Jerry Vale; you will not be disappointed. Steve’s chops give Jerry’s a run for his money. • Stay tuned as additional Saint Rock 2022 news unfolds. As Animal Control Big Boss Man, Kevin “The Old Ranger” Alkins always says, “Don’t stand around! Buy a round!” Words to live by as you spend time in the “Albert & Franny Spadafora Beer Garden” this August 12, 13 and 14. • Watts Street’s Peter Caso will be in attendance (short walk from Watts). Who’s better than Pete Caso and his Facebook page “All About Malden?!” Correct, nobody. Pete has over six thousand rabid followers who now call him friend on Facebook with no end of friends in sight. His posts are informative and timely. He keeps his page clean with no fake news, no dirty talk or ugly, divisive politics. And at dinner time his supper is the envy of Malden! So, as Pete would say, “congrats to you, Pete” on a fabulous page. Peter, some unsolicited advice: You may have to set up your own stand for autograph and picture seekers; your fan club grows with each FB post. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character “Columbo” would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – this year’s Saint Rocco Feast is the 92nd year Malden takes to Pearl Street and celebrates. If you are a regular attendee, we look forward to seeing you back. If you are one of those people on the fence or haven’t graced us with your presence in some time, this is the year to reappear. Newcomers to Malden – we welcome you with open arms! The San Rock Festa was the original multicultural event. Nothing has changed. Make your presence known! Come by, even for one night. Make new friends or get reacquainted with old ones. Either way, good times await you at this year’s Festa! The 92nd Annual Feast of St. Rocco starts Friday night, Aug. 12 at 6. I hope to see you all there. Cent’anni. Postscript: Recently retired Malden Police Chief Kevin Molis will spend most of Saint Rocco weekend on Pearl Street enjoying his childhood neighborhood block party: “From the perspective of being the (former) Malden Police Chief and still a ‘Kid from Edgeworth’ what stands out for me that weekend is what Saint Rocco’s says about who we are as a city. Saint Rocco’s represents a group of Italian immigrants coming to America and to Edgeworth and bringing with them their rich culture and customs, their proud traditions and their strong faith and not keeping it for themselves but offering and sharing it with others. My own ancestors on my mother’s side had made a similar journey from Ireland to Edgeworth. Saint Rocco’s was born out of those proud Italian immigrants remembering where they were from and keeping that spirit alive in their new home. But what stood out for me as the Malden Police Chief was that on that same weekend, I had the joy, honor, and privilege to attend a Caribbean Festival at Lincoln Commons and to stand among a large gathering of Muslims as they prayed during a Holy Day called Eid al- Adha. Each and every day there are tremendous examples of people from all over the world who have chosen Malden to be their home, just like those proud Italian immigrants did so many years ago.” Chief Molis continued: “Saint Rocco’s shows what Malden has been, what it is, and what it will always be… the best place to live, work, worship, and to raise a family! And with that said, the best place to be a Police Chief.” www.eight10barandgrille.com We Have Reopened for Dine-In and Outside Seating every day beginning at 4 PM WE'RE OPEN! 8 Norwood Street, Everett (617) 387-9810 STAY SAFE!

Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 22, 2022 Mass. State Legislature Enacts The CROWN Act in Final Steps to Ban Race-based Discrimination in the Commonwealth Representative Steven Ultrino’s bill to prohibit discrimination of natural and protective hairstyles has been enacted by both Senate and House, and now goes to Governor Baker’s desk for final approval B OSTON – Monday, July 18, 2022 – After the House enacted H.4554, An Act prohibiting discrimination based on natural and protective hairstyles – better known as Massachusetts’ version of The CROWN Act last Thursday, the Senate has followed suit and enacted the legislation. The bill was initially filed last session by Representative Steven Ultrino with the endorsement of the National CROWN Coalition in an effort to prohibit race-based hair discrimination throughout the Commonwealth. With the support of co-filers Representative Chyna Tyler, Senators Sal DiDomenico, and Adam Gomez, the CROWN Act as gained significant momentum this session – passing the House and Senate unanimously earlier this Spring. The bill would define natural and protective hairstyles in statute, as well as prohibit any form of discrimination and policy restricting these respective hairstyles in schools, employment, housing, and business settings. This legislation would also expand criminal law prohibiting assault and battery for purposes of intimidation to include natural and protective hairstyles, while adding natural and protective hairstyles to hate crime data collection and reporting requirements. Minor changes were made to the legislation following the Senate passage and conference committee negotiations which applies the provisions of the bill to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association and similar entities, as well as clarifying legal safeguards for protective hairstyles in addition to natural hairstyles. “I am proud to see the progress, momentum, and success the CROWN Act has experienced in this session.

Depending on the program, many of the students will earn college credits. “These students’ personal growth and successes encapsulate what we do at Minds Matter,” said Minds Matter Boston Executive Director Rachel Kanter. “Their determination and talent, coupled with the support and advice of their mentors, helped them excel in school and develop a sense of community. The opportunity to experience college life and college courses while still in high school will prepare them for the next stage of their education and beyond.” Minds Matter Boston is a mentoring organization devoted to connecting driven and determined students from low-income backgrounds with people and opportunities to support success in college and beyond.

Volunteers from various Boston businesses and organizations dedicate hundreds of hours over three years to guide their mentees through college prep, as well as helping them to navigate the college application and grant and scholarship application processes.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 22, 2022 Page 13 BBB Scam Alert: With used cars in high demand, look out for too-good-to-be-true prices A ccording to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), used cars are in high demand, and scammers know it. Con artists are taking advantage of shoppers who turn to online platforms in search of a reasonably priced used vehicle. Be wary of this latest twist and too-good-to-be-true prices. How the scam works: You are shopping for a used vehicle on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, eBay or another online platform. You fi nd the make and model you want at an excellent price. Amazing! However, when you contact the seller, you fi nd out that the vehicle is in another city. Fortunately, the seller knows a transport company that can deliver it to you. All you need to do is pay the transport company, which will hold the funds in escrow until the vehicle is delivered. Many scammers will add a sad story meant to tug on your heartstrings. For example, they might claim the car belonged to a relative who has passed away. FESTIVALS | FROM PAGE 1 Malden Chamber of Commerce, the festivals draw large crowds who are looking for a chance to hear a variety of music, opportunities to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods and meats at the ever-growing Farmer’s Market, and a shopping bazaar lined with vintage clothes vendors, jewelry makers and other artisans. The Festivals celebrate Malden’s business community as it continues to rebound from the eff ects of the devastating Covid-19 pandemic. Malden Strategy and Business Development Offi cer Kevin Duff y has organized this successful series of An example: Reportedly, a scammer claimed to be selling a car on behalf of their aunt, who inherited it from her recently deceased father. “The ‘Auntie’ claimed she was a nurse and worked shifts, and that my daughter’s original email had fallen into her junk folder. The ‘Auntie’ had moved to another province thousands of miles from us. But if my daughter wanted to purchase the car for the stated price (which was well under the going price for a vehicle of this type, year and mileage), the Auntie had a contract with an automotive transport company.” Once you’ve paid the third-party company, usually by a wire transfer or prepaid debit card, your vehicle won’t be delivered. The sale was a scam, and the con artist was in cahoots with the third-party transport company. Unfortunately, your money is gone for good.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 22, 2022 Page 15 Greater Boston League is achieving many of its goals as success and competitive spirit rise GBL puts most teams in the postseason MIAA State Tournaments than any season in league history O ne of the chief reasons the Greater Boston League was reconstituted two years ago into the vibrant, successful league it is becoming was the type of competition and spirit shown on the fields and courts this past spring. A prominent marker of success is participation in the MIAA postseason State Tournaments for the various sports. This past Spring Season, more teams, on both the boys’ and girls’ sides, participated in the MIAA State Tournaments than any season in GBL history: 27 league wide! Malden High School and Revere High School were among the league leaders, with 5 teams each in the postseason, along with prominent participants in the track and field individual events. Everett High was close behind with 4 teams in the postseason, along with several boys and girls track participants. When the member school principals and athletic directors came together to reconstituting the Greater Boston League, this was indeed what they had in mind, with the goal of establishing the GBL as the premier urban school league for Athletics and Wellness in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It was so important that the "Original Four" of Everett, Malden, Medford and Somerville were able to be joined in a "leap of faith," first by Revere Public School, then Lynn English, Lynn Classical and fi nally, Chelsea Public Schools. There is a good chance that more schools continue to come the GBL's way as the prominence and success of the league resonate. Hats off and an enthusiastic salute to all of the administration, athletic directors and support staff , coaches, athletic trainers and staff , game offi - cials — and most importantly— the GBL teams and players, who made this past Spring Season, and the entire 2021-2022 academic and athletic year! Let's hope that the 2022-2023 Above, Malden High senior placekicker Ronald Juarez and holder Gavin West prepare for the game winning fi eld goal in this past season's 137th Malden-Medford Thanksgiving Day football game, now the longest continuous high school football rivalry in the nation.

Jerry Parisella (D-Beverly), House Chair of the Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies. “Some highlights include providing a boost to our local theaters, giving our academic institutions the ability to lead the nation in fields like artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, cyber security and robotics. And also provide funding to create thousands of units of housing throughout the commonwealth. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE (S 2996) Senate 40-0, approved a bill designed to further protect reproductive health care and those who perform abortions in the Bay State. The measure specifically declares that both reproductive health care and gender-affirming care are rights secured by the constitution or laws of Massachusetts and would shield providers of reproductive and gender-affirming care and their patients from out-of-state legal action. Other provisions include preventing the state’s cooperation with anti-abortion and anti-gender-affirming care laws in other states; mandating health insurance coverage for abortion and abortion-related care with no cost-sharing; ensuring access to emergency contraception; and providing confidentiality to providers of reproductive and gender-affirming care. “Passing this legislation is a monumental step forward in Massachusetts, as we are seeing increasingly more anti-abortion and anti-gender-affirming care legislation rise across the country,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate Chair of the Committee on Health Care Financing and the sponsor of the bill. “We must do everything to protect the rights of our providers, patients and visitors to the commonwealth. As we further realize the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision … we will continue to fight these attacks on reproductive and gender-affirming care with meaningful action.” “A fundamental teaching of the Catholic faith is that an unborn child is a human person with the inalienable right to life and this life must be protected from conception to birth,” said a statement from the Massachusetts Catholic Conference. “It is in this light that the Catholic Bishops of Massachusetts have always strongly opposed abortion and all legislative efforts to expand the practice.” “We cannot let other states threaten Massachusetts’ pregnant and transgender people, or the providers who take care of them,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “Massachusetts will not waiver in protecting our residents’ rights. The Legislature prepared for the end of Roe v. Wade by passing the ROE Act in 2020, which ensured the continuation of reproductive healthcare services when we could no longer count on the federal government. Now, we must prepare our commonwealth for the potential further erosion of our rights and protections at the federal level.” “The Legislature’s myopic pursuit of abortion and gender identity extremism is out of sync with the voters of Massachusetts, and seeks to undermine pro-life, pro-parental rights laws across the country,” said the president of the Massachusetts Family Institute Andrew Beckwith. “This bill also specifically grants Planned Parenthood the power to effectively re-write our commonwealth’s abortion laws through the regulatory process. When you combine that with the $15 million giveaway to abortion activists in the proposed state budget, it is clear what this is really about: our elected officials handing over power and money to their political allies in the abortion industry.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Jason Lewis Yes $10.9 BILLION TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE (S 2989) Senate 39-0, approved a nearly $11 billion transportation and infrastructure package that includes $1.375 billion for Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) modernization; $400 million for MBTA safety projects; $275 million for the EastWest rail project; $1.27 billion for non-federally aided roads and bridges; and a provision that directs the MBTA and allows Regional Transit Authorities across the state to create a low-income fare program. The House has approved a different version of the package and a House-Senate conference committee will likely hammer out a compromise version. Other provisions include $225 million for emissions reduction initiatives, including $50 million to support access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure; $114 million for airport improvements; $25 million for municipal road pavement improvements; and $407.7 million for local and regional transportation projects. Of the more than 200 amendments filed by senators none came to a roll call vote. Many were simply approved or rejected one at a time on voice votes. To move things along even faster, the Senate also did its usual “bundling” of many amendments. Instead of acting on each amendment one at a time, dozens of the proposed amendments are bundled and put into two piles— one pile that will be approved and the other that will be rejected, without a roll call, on voice votes where it is impossible to tell which way a senator votes. Senate President Karen Spilka, or the senator who is filling in for her at the podium, orchestrates the approval and rejection of the bundled amendments with a simple: “All those in favor say ‘aye,’ those opposed say ‘no.’ The ayes have it and the amendments are approved.” Or “All those in favor say ‘aye,’ those opposed say ‘no.’ The no’s have it and the amendments are rejected.” The outcome was predetermined earlier behind closed doors. “This transportation bond bill provides Massachusetts with the key to unlock once-in-a-generation federal funding from the bipartisan infrastructure law,” Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn), Senate Chair of the Committee on Transportation. “With these combined state and federal investments, we will be able to complete vital work on our highways, roads, bridges and public transportation systems, improving mobility for all residents of the commonwealth.” “While repairs to our transportation infrastructure will be beneficial to many communities across the commonwealth, this bill goes much further than merely repairing but will instead actively transform our infrastructure to be more modern, environmentally sustainable and regionally equitable,” said Senate President KarenSpilka (D-Ashland). “The support for electric vehicles, regional transportation authorities, low-income fares on public transit, expanded East-West connectivity and many other initiatives included in this bill will bring benefits to residents, visitors and businesses throughout Massachusetts.” “Today’s passage of this multipronged … transportation infrastructure investment package builds on our longstanding commitment to ensure the commonwealth’s transportation system is more equitable, reliable, safe and modern,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “Going far beyond just roads and bridges, the Senate’s transportation bond bill will stimulate our economy, increase accessibility for our residents, support local businesses, create jobs, and boost economies in all corners of our commonwealth,” said Rodrigues. (A “Yes” vote is for the package). Sen. Jason Lewis Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL ADOPT ANIMALS USED IN RESEARCH – "THE BEAGLE BILL" (S 2992) – The Senate approved a bill that would require research labs to make every effort to offer healthy animals up for adoption by registered non-profit animal rescue organizations rather than euthanizing them when the research is done. According to supporters, more than 60,000 dogs—almost all beagles—and nearly 20,000 cats, are used each year for animal experimentation in the United States to advance scientific research and to test cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other household products. Currently, many research labs choose to automatically euthanize these cats and dogs once their experiments are over. The House has already approved a different version of the bill and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. “I am proud the Massachusetts Senate passed legislation prioritizing the protection of animals across our commonwealth,” said Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem), Senate Chair of the Judiciary Committee. “The Beagle Bill will give research dogs and cats a second chance at life and bring Massachusetts in line with other states across our nation. We owe so much of human advancement to the service and sacrifice of these animals, and they deserve to be loved and cherished after a job well done.” House sponsor Rep. Michelle DuBois (D-Brockton) said the bill will save dogs and cats from needlessly dying when their time in the testing lab comes to an end. “This national effort was brought to my attention by a constituent … [and] provides a framework to provide an alternate ending in a loving home through places like the MSPCA,” DuBois said. PROTECT PUPPIES AND KITTENS (S 2994) – The Senate approved and sent to the House legislation designed to protect the health and safety of puppies and kittens in cities and towns by addressing inhumane practices relating to the transfer of pets. Provisions include prohibiting the sale of puppies and kittens under eight weeks of age; ending the sale of animals on roadsides, parking lots, flea markets or in other public spaces; and requiring the Department of Agricultural Resources to establish reasonable rules and regulations for the operation of breeding kennels and catteries producing pets for the public as well as boarding kennels and daycare facilities for dogs and cats. “Separating puppies and kittens at a critical stage from their mother and litter before the end of their primary socialization developmental stage can result in significant behavioral problems, including separation anxiety and aggression,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester). “This bill has the potential to truly protect the wellbeing of puppiesand kittens in the commonwealth, who will otherwise suffer without clear, mandatory regulations on their purchase, storage and caretaking.” “As the owner of a Labrador Retriever and a cat, and as a veteran who has observed the important work that animals do to assist the young and the old when we are in crisis and need, I know firsthand that our animal companions play a central role in our lives—and promoting their well-being protects both pets and people,” said House sponsor Rep. Linda Dean Campbell. “By ensuring kennels meet safety standards and preventing the dangerous sale of pets that are too young, we will reduce the risk of aggressive behavior that can put dogs, cats and people at risk.” POACHING (S 2993) – The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would regulate poaching—the illegal hunting that harms or kills wildlife including fish, birds, mammals and endangered or threatened species. Other provisions elevate the fines and penalties for poaching; align Massachusetts poaching regulations with other states; and bring Massachusetts into the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact, which helps states to work together to prevent illegal hunting across state lines. “It has been nearly a century since many of the commonwealth’s anti-poaching laws were last updated,” said sponsor Sen. Michael Moore (D-Millbury). “The absence of action on anti-poaching laws has resulted in outdated penalties that result in no more than a slap on the wrist for offenders. This legislation finally brings our laws, fines and penalties in line with other states. It also brings Massachusetts into the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact, a nationwide law enforcement network that allows our wildlife protection agencies to share information about poachers with other states. With the passage of this legislation, Massachusetts is making it clear that we will no longer be a safe haven for those who wish to do harm to our wildlife, marine life and ecosystems.” $56 MILLION FOR FAMILIES OF VICTIMS OF HOLYOKE SOLDIERS’ HOME (H 4932) – The House and Senate gave final approval to and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker $56 million in funding for the families of the victims of the COVID-19 outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home. Sen. John Velis (D-Holyoke), chair of the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee said that these families have been through so much over the past two years. “No dollar figure will ever bring their loved ones back, but this resolution does end the painful BHRC | SEE PAGE 17

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 22, 2022 Page 17 BHRC | FROM PAGE 16 process of litigation,” said Velis. “What happened at the home will forever leave a scar on our commonwealth, especially Western Mass. Now we must continue to work to get much needed reforms for the home signed into law as well.” PROHIBIT REVOCATION OF PROFESSIONAL LICENSES IF A PERSON DEFAULTS ON A STUDENT LOAN (H 425) – House gave initial approval to legislation that would repeal current state laws which created professional licensure consequences for anyone who defaults on their student loan. Under existing law, a borrower’s state-issued professional or occupational certificate, registration or license can be suspended, revoked or cancelled if the borrower is in default on an education loan. “As a former seventh grade public school teacher and an education attorney for more than a decade, I’ve come to expect Massachusetts to be identified as a pioneer in a promising practice or out in front on an education issue,” said sponsor Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose).“So I was quite surprised to find that Massachusetts is one of the only states that mandates the denial of professional licenses to student loan defaulters. This draconian approach prevents an individual from access to the profession for which he or she has trained and has the perverse result of furthering hindering their ability to earn a living and making it more difficult to make loan payments. And as families work to recover from the financial fallout of the pandemic, the last thing the state should do is deny them access to their professional pursuits because of student loan defaults.” “CROWN ACT” – FORBID DISCRIMINATION AGAINST A PERSON WITH A NATURAL HAIRSTYLE(H 5028) – The House and Senate approved a new version of a bill that would prohibit any person or entity including educational institutions workplaces and public spaces from implementing any policy that would explicitly target someone who wears their natural hairstyle. The measure defines natural hairstyle as hair texture, hair type and protective hairstyles including braids, locks, twists and other formations. Only final Senate approval is needed prior to the measure going to Gov. Baker for his signature. “Racial discrimination is unacceptable in all of its forms,” said bill sponsor Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham). “I was proud to join my House colleagues in unanimously advancing a bill which would ensure that Black students and workers won’t be told that their hair is unprofessional or be forced to cut it in order to participate in activities or go to work. I hope that the governor will join the Legislature in standing against discrimination by signing these protections into law.” “On the long march toward justice, and especially racial justice, the Legislature’s passage of this legislation marks another step forward,” said Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester), Senate Chair of the Committee on Education. “We would not be at this point without the great courage and strength of Mya and Deanna Cook, who as 15-year-old students faced discrimination and abuse from their high school for their hairstyles, and bravely stood up for their rights and those of so many other black women.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Taxpayers are experiencing the largest inflation spike in 41 years and our Statehouse leaders have a pile of money they could give back to help taxpayers with these high costs. Instead, they are choosing to hold onto the vast majority of the money and they even have the nerve to continue to push for their graduated income tax surcharge amendment which will increase the state income tax by 80 precent on some high-income earners and small businesses.” ---Paul Craney, spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “This legislation is critically important because despite the well-known hazards, Massachusetts law still permits schools and childcare centers to use toxic pesOBITUARY John 'Jack' Freker Sr. Longtime Florida resident, formerly of Malden, at 86 John C. "Jack" Freker Sr., of Stuart, FL. and formerly of Malden, MA, and Charlestown, MA, passed away peacefully on July 10, 2022. He was 86 years old. Jack was born in 1936 in Presque Isle, ME, and lived there for several years and then in Long Island, NY before moving to Charlestown, MA He was a Charlestown High School graduate, Class of 1954, and excelled on the school's basketball and baseball teams. After high school he served active duty for two years in the U.S. Army and continued to live in Charlestown, beginning a family there before moving to Malden in 1965. There he lived for nearly 30 years while raising his family of six children. He also lived in Saugus for several years. Mr. Freker began working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the mid1960s, where he was employed in the MIT stockroom, eventually rising to supervisor, while also taking night classes at Northeastern University and working a second job with the US Postal Service. In 1969, he began working in the subcontracting department at MIT Instrumentation Laboratory which was later named the Dr. Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, internationally known for developing the computer guidance systems for the Apollo Space missions under the direction of NASA. Mr. Freker continued to be employed at Draper Lab for the remainder of his working years, becoming supervisor of the subcontracting department until his retirement in 1998, nearly 40 years with MIT and Draper. Jack, as he was known to his friends and family, had a full life, raising his large family in Malden. He always put a lot of effort into making holidays a special time for his family, and presided over summer outings to Canobie Lake Park in NH, serving as grill master for family cookouts, and for several years spending vacation time in Wells Beach, ME.

Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately Tues.July 12 House11:01 a.m. to11:07 a.m. No Senate session.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 22, 2022 avy eniiooravvy S iorn or avvyavy vvy io iori by Jim Miller Should You Take Daily Aspirin for Your Heart? Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve been taking daily aspirin for almost 20 years now because I have a family history of heart disease. But I recently read that using aspirin is not recommended anymore. What can you tell me about this change in philosophy? Confused Aspirin User Dear Confused, There’s no doubt that taking low-dose daily aspirin is benefi cial to most people who’ve had a heart attack or stroke. But if you don’t have heart disease, should you take it as a preventative measure? The answer for most people is probably not, according to new guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), a widely respected independent panel that develops recommendations on preventive health care. Here’s what you should know. New Guidelines For years, aspirin has been a go-to pill Americans use to help ward off cardiovascular disease because of its blood thinning capability. But like most medicines, it can cause serious side eff ects. Aspirin irritates the stomach lining and can cause bleeding in the stomach, intestines and brain which can be life-threatening. And the risk of bleeding increases with age. About one-third of Americans age 40 and older, and more than 45 percent of people over age 70 – who don’t have cardiovascular disease – already take a daily aspirin to help prevent cardiovascular disease because it’s been recommended for decades by many diff erent health experts. But in the past few years, new research has emerged showing that for many people without diagnosed heart disease, the risk of bleeding may outweigh the benefi ts of taking a daily aspirin. This research, along with the advent of other eff ective therapies in preventing heart attacks and strokes that don’t cause bleeding – better blood pressure drugs and statins for lowering cholesterol – has narrowed the role aspirin plays. Here’s a breakdown of the updated USPSTF guidelines of who should, and shouldn’t, take a daily aspirin, and for those who should, how to take it safely. Who Should Take It? There are two categories of people who can still benefi t from using aspirin. People with established cardiovascular disease, especially those who have already had a heart attack or stroke. There’s strong evidence that taking a daily low-dose aspirin signifi cantly reduces the risk of a second cardiovascular event. And adults ages 40 to 59 with a 10 percent or higher risk for a cardiovascular disease over the next decade. They may see a small benefi t to daily aspirin, but it should be an individual decision and discussed with your doctor. Who Should Skip It? People who are 60 and older – without established cardiovascular disease – who do not currently take a daily aspirin to prevent heart disease should not start now. This is particularly true for people with a history of bleeding, say from ulcers or aneurysms, or those taking medications such as blood thinners, steroids or anti-infl ammatories such as ibuprofen or naproxen. If they already take a daily aspirin now, they should ask a doctor about how to proceed, because there may be a serious risk to suddenly stopping. How to Use it Safely The best approach is to talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefi ts of aspirin specifi cally for you. Because the risk of bleeding raises with dosage, if aspirin is recommended, take the lowest possible amount, which for most people is an 81 mg baby aspirin. And if you experience any stomach pain, talk to your doctor. You should also know that in 2016 the USPSTF suggested that daily aspirin use could also help lower the risk of colorectal cancer along with cardiovascular disease. But the group now says there’s not enough evidence to support that claim. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 22, 2022 Page 19 SCAM | FROM PAGE 13 How to avoid car sales scams Watch out for prices that are too good to be true. It’s probably a scam. Scammers know that used cars are in high demand, and they will tempt shoppers with great deals. Contact the seller by phone. As early as possible, speak to the seller on the phone and ask plenty of questions. If you get very vague answers, if the seller gets defensive or aggressive, or if they can’t confirm their location or the location of the vehicle, you’re probably dealing with a scammer.
