THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 23, 2021 Page 3 Malden Police Officers forge early, vibrant relationships with local young people Year-round activities provide close, proactive interaction as bonds continue to build By Steve Freker T he relationship-building starts early in Malden between members of its police department and youths of all ages around the community. Whether it’s coaching youth basketball and other sports in one its many collaborations with the Malden Recreation Department or conducting its own annual Police Academy as it had done the past two weeks, local police officers are continually interacting with Malden kids. Malden Police Officer Phil Halloran has been involved in both programs for years and said the participation numbers-wise and the quality of the relationships being forged are extremely valuable to the community overall. "We get to know the kids at a younger age and we can watch them grow up to young adults through their participation in these programs,” said Officer Halloran, who just completed another successful season coaching in the Mac Singleton Basketball League, which crowned its champion on Tuesday night after a seven-week regular season, plus playoffs. More than 70 players took part in the league, which is for players in grades 7 and 8. It is complemented by a younger division, which is for boys and girls in grades 4-5-6. Between 8-10 Malden Police officers assist with the leagues, coaching and mentoring kids from age 7 to 15. “We want to show the kids through this positive interaction that police officers are friendly and interested in meeting them and getting to know them,” Halloran said. “We want them to know that we go home to our own families; many of us have children just like them; we have dogs and cats at home like them. “If they like to watch ‘American Ninja Warrior’ on television, we also like to watch ‘American Ninja Warrior’ on TV,” Officer Halloran added. “There’s a lot of common ground and we get to express this through these programs.” Malden Recreation Department Coordinator Joe Levine has been a strong proponent of linking police officer involvement in the team and individual athletic programs he has created for many years. “It has been a fantastic partnership from Day One, with both our police officers and our Malden kids constantly benefitting,” Levine said. “Our community’s children have the opportunity to meet our poLawrence A.

They stop and are able to share a memory or just talk and catch up on how each of them are doing,” Levine said. “That’s the best and we see it all the time.” Levine said Malden Mayor Gary Christenson and Police Chief Kevin Molis are the strongest supporters of the collaboration between the Police Department and the Recreation Department. “Everyone realizes how valuable these relationships are,” Officer Halloran said. “It really helps build a community.” Recharge your vehicle's AC for the warm weather!

This funding will support conservation efforts that protect and enhance the habitats of the Middlesex Fells Reservation. Lewis and Donato serve as www.eight10barandgrille.com We Have Reopened for Dine-In and Outside Seating every day beginning at 4 PM the co-chairs of the Middlesex Fells Legislative Caucus, which was formed earlier this year. The other members of the Caucus include State Senators Brendan Crighton and Pat Jehlen and State Representatives Christine Barber, Michael Day, Sean Garballey, Kate Lipper-Garabedian and Steven Ultrino. The goal of the Caucus is to advocate for funding and policies that promote conservation and provide sustainable recreational opportunities for all to enjoy the Middlesex Fells. The Caucus will be working closely with the Department of Conservation & Recreation, which manages the Fells, as well as the Friends of the Middlesex Fells Reservation and other stakeholder groups. The Caucus was also successful in creating a new Middlesex Fells Reservation Trust Fund. This Fund will be able to accept both public funding and private donations that advance recreational, educational and conservation Jason Lewis State Senator efforts, and support infrastructure improvements for the Middlesex Fells Reservation. “The Middlesex Fells Reservation is a wonderful resource available to our communities, which even more people have discovered during the pandemic,” said Lewis. “I’m thrilled that we were able to secure this funding in the state budget to support the vital work that the Friends of the Fells does to promote conservation, recreation and education for all in the Middlesex Fells.” “As co-chair of the Fells Caucus, I take great pleasure in the securing of important funding for Friends of the Fells as well as the Middlesex Fells Trust Fund,” said Donato. “It is our duty to protect the beautiful nature that is all around us in the Commonwealth. Nobody knows that better than the Friends of the Middlesex Fells as they tackle imPaul Donato State Representative portant conservation initiatives such as reducing rogue trails, managing invasive weeds, and so much more. It is my honor to support them, and it is all of our responsibilities to protect the nature that surrounds us here in Massachusetts.” “The Middlesex Fells is one of the Commonwealth’s favorite nature spaces, and has proven to be essential natural infrastructure during the pandemic, providing a safe space to get outside, get active, and access the mental health benefits nature provides,” said Friends of the Middlesex Fells Reservation Executive Director Chris Redfern. “This funding allocation to the Friends of the Middlesex Fells’ Sustainable Fells Campaign will strengthen our ability to care for the nature of the Fells and make sure it is a safe and welcoming space for everyone.” WE'RE OPEN! 8 Norwood Street, Everett (617) 387-9810 Jefferson Apartment Group announces retail openings at J Center STAY SAFE!

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 23, 2021 ~ Guest Commentary ~ Page 5 MALDEN…ALIVE AND WELL By Craig Spadafora, City Councillor-At- Large A s I began thinking about whether I was going to seek another term as a Councillor-At-Large, it caused me to pause and think. What is the job of any elected official? I think you’d get a lot of different answers to this question. Here is mine. The job of an elected official is to understand how to work with others to get things done. It sounds simple enough, yet year in and year out you’ll see elected officials content to grandstand and fail. When I look back at what this great city has accomplished together over the past ten years, I think it is testament to a core group of elected officials who have embraced the opposite approach. And when you look at what we’ve done, it is clear that success through compromise can deliver amazing results. With all of the negativity that seems to be the norm these days, it just feels right to stop and appreciate the good things going on. While in Malden Square on a recent weekend enjoying one of the wildly successful summer festivals, I was stopped by countless people who were simply feeling really good about Malden. As I looked at the crowd of people checking out the amazing products offered at Tous les Jours, the newest addition to the downtown scene, I couldn’t help but agree. So, for those of you interested in stepping back to appreciate just some of what we’ve been able to accomplish the past ten years, read on. For those who are more interested in focusing on “all that’s wrong with Malden,” this article isn’t for you. With that out of the way, just Gateway Caucus of the Massachusetts State House held their meeting at Malden City Hall and marveled at the unique approach and the beauty of the new space. Old City Hall had served us well, but it was too big for modern times and needed tens of millions of work. With the new City Hall, we have set ourselves up with a home for years to come that is worthy of being the civic core of the city. We secured one of the largest what are some of the things we have done together by embracing a success through compromise approach? We built a new Police Station, on time, under budget. It is easy to forget that on the site where the police station currently stands, the prior property owner was using it for storage and processing of road waste. Not exactly what we wanted next to residential dwellings. We replaced an aging and outdated police station and located it in an area central to the entire city, while eliminating a source of constant complaints. We reopened Pleasant Street to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Anyone who has visited the downtown recently will attest to the fact that while COVID delayed the positive impact of reopening Pleasant Street, it is now bearing fruit. We’ve see three new quality food establishments open in the past couple months, and there’s more on the way! Malden is attracting retailers like we’ve never been able to before. There is life back at the end of Pleasant Street, and it’s fantastic to see. We built a brand-new City Hall.

Summer is Here! State MassWorks Grants ever to make the above possible. Taking on such an ambitious project alone was beyond our financial means. Yet access to state grant money is a very competitive process. State leaders look to provide state funding to projects that are unique, well developed, and will be completed. Through relationship building and hard work, we sold the state on our little project, and they rewarded is with almost $10 million in funding to make it possible. You will find few if any other state grants of this magnitude. We increased our bond rating to the highest level it has ever been. Make no mistake about it, the bond rating of a city drives a lot. First, it is a “report card,”’ if you will, from the ratings agencies of how well we are doing running the city. It also makes a tremendous difference in the cost of borrowing. So when a rating agency examines all aspects of decision making for a city and rewards you with a rating increase, it means a lot. It means your local elected officials understand the importance of operating within your means, which helps to avoid surprises. We’ve funded our schools with millions above the state requirement. For years we struggled to fund our public schools at even the minimum level required by the state. For several years, we fell below the required minimum spending. Over the past five years alone, through fiscal prudence and sound financial practices in other areas, we’ve been able to provide our MALDEN | SEE PAGE 9

Levine I t is said in Malden today, tomorrow, and yesterday... • The July 2 issue of The Malden Advocate was another outstanding issue filled with informative and fun Malden stuff. My favorite part of the paper though was the “2021 Edward J. Larson Scholarship” announcement/presentation. Malden High School’s Rayleigh Stumph received the award, and below the photo the caption reads that Eddie’s dad is handing young Rayleigh the check. But upon closer inspection it is not Eddie’s (late) dad handing over the check but Eddie’s little brother Kevin. Kevin got some grey but looks good these days. A clean, wholesome lifestyle, which he started as a child in Edgeworth, is what keeps him young. • Malden now boasts at least three of the best coffee shops on the North Shore. Although we dearly miss John and his green sweater, Donut Villa on the Malden/Medford line is still serving some of the best java and donuts in Malden. I just love being greeted by Dawn as I enter that hallowed door. Bikeeny caffe on Summer Street is Malden’s O.G.! They brought the good stuff to Malden, and we thank you for that, Sergei. See you soon. Rounding out the terrific trio of coffee shops is Tous les Jours on Malden’s most happening corner, Commercial and Pleasant Streets. Big brother Joe, niece Dorothy and I spent some quality time camped out in a corner of the bakery on the 4th of July weekend drinking coffee and sampling the wares. Yummy is the best I can come up with! Everything on the menu! By the way, after recently spotting former Malden High School Principal Dana Brown in the same corner of the bakery conducting “business” we have dubbed that part of the bakery “Dana’s Conner.” • Stop the presses! For those who enjoy pricey coffee served up by former Abercrombie model looking baristas, Mayor Gary Christenson has announced that a Starbucks will set up shop on the corner of Exchange and Commercial. Yes! They like us! • After 19 years John and the rest of the gang at Maplewood Meat Market are calling it quits. Maplewood Square will never be the same again, but fear not, we hear a husband-and-wife team have purchased the business and will be reopening soon – featuring fish as well as all your favorite meats. Please note that although John will be gone that does not mean you can park for more than 15 minutes in front of the new meat market. Insert smiley face here. • Historic Macdonald Stadium on Pearl Street has never looked better! No weeds in sight. No nip bottles to be found anywhere on the premises! Not even one person sleeping off a toot under the bleachers! A recent walk by saw a beautiful sunset over the ancient stadium while girls’ youth softball played out at Callahan Field – country line dancing classes in the far end zone of the football field – with many families enjoying a quiet walk around the track.

Its supporters come from those communities as well as surrounding communities, including Melrose, Medford and Somerville. That trail – called the Northern Strand Community Trail – is now a reality, running along the former route of the Saugus Branch Railroad. The trail from Saugus to Lynn was recently paved, and more landscaping improvements and amenities are being added. The Northern Strand will soon connect directly to Encore Boston Harbor and “connector projects” could add access to Assembly Row in Somerville and into Boston.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 23, 2021 Page 9 MEETING | FROM PAGE 1 will host a “live” Town Hall Meeting on July 31, beginning at 10:00 a.m., on Malden City Hall Plaza (215 Pleasant St.). “As an initial opportunity to get to know one another and communicate my vision for Malden Public Schools, Mayor Gary Christenson and I are hosting an In-Person/Virtual – Community Town Hall Meeting,” Supt. Noriega-Murphy said in a letter distributed to MPS families. “I am inviting you to share your ideas and personal history about your lives in Malden,” the Superintendent stated in the letter. “We want our students who are our present and future to have a voice while respecting and valuing the fact that we are one community of learners.” Supt. Noriega-Murphy praised and thanked the Malden Public Schools faculty, administration and staff which worked together to educate students and guide them through the COVID-19 pandemic era these past 15 months. “Our school leaders, faculty, staff, and central office staff all have my utmost respect. Throughout the MALDEN| FROM PAGE 5 public schools $16 million over the state required level, and the results show it’s a worthwhile investment. Our public schools are doing an amazing job educating our leaders of tomorrow. We’ve gone green. Several years ago, we replaced over 3,000 high energy consuming street lights with energy efficient LED lights. Better quality light at a fraction of the cost, and well-lit neighborhoods are safer neighborhoods. The energy savings has allowed us to invest in other areas. The city has begun purchasing electric vehicles as part of our fleet, and recently Mayor Christenson announced the “go live” of over 20 electric charging stations across the city. As a member of the Energy Efficiency Committee, I’m proud that we are leading the way in running a more environmentally efficient city. We implemented a new solid waste program. With 32,000 barrels purchased and delivered citywide, with significant assistance from state grants, we’ve greatly reduced the trash blowing around on the streets, and provided residents an alternative to the blue bags. With these changes, we have also created a platform to continue to improve as we get more resident feedback. We create a Planning and Community Development Department. After years of talk but not action, we worked collaboratively with the Malden RedeCOVID-19 pandemic, they have been working incredibly hard to meet the needs of our students,” the Superintendent stated. “They had to adapt and learn new things rapidly; using technology to bridge distances and deliver instruction online.” Supt. Noriega-Murphy is also encouraging the Malden Public Schools’ 6,200-plus student population to re-engage with their education as the district plans for the full reentry of students and start of the 2021-22 school year in the fall. The first day of school for students is planned for Wednesday, September 1. “To our students who, for multiple reasons, could not engage with us consistently during the past school year, we ask that you please come back to school in the fall. We need to work together to close learning and socio-emotional gaps that were created by the global pandemic,” Supt. Noriega-Murphy said. “Students, your resilience during extremely unpredictable times showed, and you became stronger,” she added. “Please carry on with this resilience with a warm heart, open mind, and a commitment to keep learning velopment Authority to modernize a structure that was inefficient and made for a fragmented approach to planning and development. Without any animosity, minus the grandstanding, we “just got it done,” and Malden will benefit for years to come. I realized as I began to think back over the past several years that the positive developments are simply too many to list them all. But the point should be clear. Malden is alive and thriving. We continue, as we have for generations, to welcome new members to our great city from all backgrounds and religions, while being grateful to those who have called Malden home for generations. Over the past several months, the encouragement I’ve heard from my constituents to “give it another go” has been overwhelming. I started this last term thinking this would be my last. However, I’m so inspired, so energized, and so proud to be part of what is going on in this city that I cannot pass up the opportunity to continue to be part of it. You have all told me you want to see us stop the focus on everything negative, and embrace all the good happening across the city. That is exactly what I intend to do as I campaign for another term. Sure, we have work to do in areas, there is no denying that. But this is one great city, it has been for generations. It’s not broken. My family has been part of it for generations. And if you’ll have me for another term, when you come back to school.” The Superintendent also had a message for the families of the Malden district’s students: “Caregivers, please know that you are not alone. Let’s work together with our school leaders, social workers, guidance counselors, and partners to see how we can support you and our students.” In addition to inviting all who wish to attend to come to City Hall Plaza on Saturday, July 31, those who wish to participate virtually are invited to a Zoom webinar of the event.

John Oteri, who retired as of June 30 after nearly 30 years in the education field. “Former Superintendent John Oteri, thank you for your stewardship of Malden schools and for your helpful assistance to me as I take the reins of the district.” “It is going to be a wonderful start of a new school year, where together we can strive to give our very best as members of this community of learners,” Supt. Noriega-Murphy stated. “I truly look forward to starting this journey with all of you.” I want to continue to represent you on the Malden City Council.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 23, 2021 ~ Political Announcement ~ Joe Gray announces candidacy for Ward 6 School Committee N ow is the time in the election cycle when last minute add/ drops take place among candidates for all kinds of reasons and I’m no exception. Anything can happen. Any skeletons can emerge. Many activists (voters) look for candidates like themselves, yet they want someone different. When I was a teenager in Boston, all my friends and family prided themselves on how different we all were, yet being together. It felt strange to me to see how shocked everyone around me was to truly learn that I was a little extra different, when I decided to join the military out of high school. Even in my own family. Reconciling the words of diversity with the reality can be difficult for many. From what pieced-together memories that I can recall, making my own decisions, whether right or wrong, has always been a thing with me. And attempting to do the right thing had become part of me due to my parent’s influence. I zigged and zagged a lot in Trinidad as a child and as an adult in America. As a toddler, I wandered off and left my parents downtown in a strange city in Trinidad. Of course, they went nuts trying to find a little child (maybe about 7 or 8 years old at the time), while I calmly walked home through a strange city and hung out till they returned, shocked to find me normal and playing miles from where I had left them. My mom still recounts that story till this day. Virtually penniless and poor, we eventually moved to America, when I was about 5 years old. Experiencing multiple cultures and multiple countries growing up in New England in the 1970s gave me a diverse perspective on many levels, as America went through continuing changes. Spending time with friends alternatively in Puerto Rican households, Cape Verdean, Jewish, Italian, Irish, African, Chinese, Lebanese, etc. Somehow ending up running with rich kids at swanky soirees, basements with heavy metal punks, all white girls club as an honorary type member, country and western honky-tonks, helping steel bands in Franklin Park carnivals, hanging with the jocks, making friends with the computer geeks, acting in drama club productions, singing in choral groups statewide, watching pals build machines at Harvard, that could pick up, rotate an atom and take color photos, watching pals become international super lawyers and sailing my own little boat on the Charles River. Benign random choices seem normal to me, like going from my days as an Army soldier and male stripper to being a politician and a parent. I don’t slap on leather gloves and go ride mechanical bulls anymore, but I do what I can now that I’ve slowed down a lot at this time in life. No advanced degrees or special skills. I am just a normal person with normal experiences. Growing up next to gang/drug infested ghettos in Boston gives me certain perspectives to deal with life. At various times people randomly tried to kill or intimidate me. Seeing neighborhood knife fights, fist fights, bar room brawls, being investigated by the police, being saved Joseph Gray Ward 6 School Committee Candidate by the police, being brought up on court martial charges (dismissed), being hunted by international spy rings, where co-workers were likely to end up dead in an alley in foreign countries. I almost started a riot in the barracks once in the early 1980s in Fort Jackson, South Carolina simply for saying that I had gay friends and relatives. Or on the flip side during my short stint as a security guard in Boston, when I had to deal with investigating gun battles, breaking up drug rings, intervening in domestic disputes on college campuses, wondering where the police and fire were, while I had to deal with traffic and a flaming wreck vehicle outside a hospital, chasing potential kidnappers through Fenway during the day and single handedly hunting down perps through dark, rain soaked alleys around Fenway Park with nothing but a flashlight and a badge. Getting paid barely more than $7 per hour at the time to be in the line of fire, like a cop, was ridiculous, so I eventually left being a guard. I think my Barney Fife stance one night, when I had to single handedly face down a car load of drunk hockey players by myself, who were trying to get to a young girl in the buildings I had to oversee, convinced me to change jobs. Little old me against four tall, drunk hockey players wasn’t going to end well for me, but they backed down. I’d had too much of this scenario in much of my life. In another similar situation, I had to rescue my sister from a black gang during an after-party in the ghetto. I can’t remember even a fraction of the little incidents that got me here in life, but it is on to politics, for now. When people ask, I have little to say politically. No mission statement. No grand vision. No eloquent speeches. When you have people in your life, who you trust, like your parents, siblings, coworkers, military brothers/sisters, children, pets, automobile, house, horse or country, there isn’t a grandiose speech, that will make a lick of difference to create “trust”. In my personal opinion, trust has to be earned over time. As a candidate two years ago, I looked into the camera and plainly said that I would not make any elaborate promises. Nothing, zip, nada. I will do my best, figure things out and keep learning. Randomly, people ask whether I’m democrat or republican. While having been raised in a Democratic household, I have long since (early 1980s) abandoned the labels as meaningless to me. From the outside looking in, some people swear I’m a Democrat, while others swear I’m a republican and decide whether to trust me on that criteria alone. Makes me sad, but I can deal with that. Maybe many should see me as a person with my own specific tastes, FESTIVALS | FROM PAGE 1 needing to access Sprague and Park Streets. Other events on the schedule for Saturday’s Summer Festival include a vintage clothing trunk show in the Pleasant Street Parking Lot, multiple mini-escape room challenges and a mini-golf hole challenge along Pleasant Street, a pet pageant on City Hall Plaza from 3 to 4 p.m. and the second pub crawl – Steam Punk Pub Crawl Experience – starting at 5:30 p.m. Reservations are required in advance. Restaurants offering the $18.91 specials are as follows: 110 Grill, All Season’s Table, ideas and free will, that is/are my own and not controlled by “any” party bosses. Sometimes, I will say the right thing. Sometimes, I will say the wrong thing. But I will always try to do the right thing, if everyone will trust me to try as they would trust a friend or family member. Sometimes, us normal people can get lucky and end up doing something good. I will answer direct questions as best I can, but I will avoid spilling anything of a confidential nature. And if there is not an answer, I will likely just stop talking, especially if the answer is of a legal or confidential matter. Unlike some politicians, who you will come across, I will not chatter just to hear the sound of my own voice, unless I accidentally forgot that I had already said something and explain it again. And in all things going forward, I will always try to be practical, which does not mean being all things to everyone or being on all sides of any issue. There will be times when I unavoidably have to take sides on committee votes. And that will either help or harm some people at different times. Being practical will not mean robotic party line decisions will be made. As usual, sometimes I may zig or zag depending on what seems best in the moment and do my best. I am a black, Christian, male, moderate, heterosexual, middle aged, veteran, immigrant, computer nerd, etc. I self-identify as an American of Caribbean descent. My hope is that this snapshot overview addresses a lot of questions concerning the current Ward 6 School Committee candidate, Joe Gray.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 23, 2021 Page 11 Hong Yen Chang: the effect of justice denied By Mark Rumley S upreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall in a 1987 article in the Harvard Law Review reflected on the Constitution on the occasion of its bicentennial. In it, he noted that the Framers “could not have imagined, nor would they have accepted, that the document they were drafting would one day be construed by a Supreme Court to which has been appointed a woman and the descendant of an African slave.” Justice Marshall went on to say that the phrase “We The People” does not belong to the Framers, but rather “belongs to those who refused to acquiesce in outdated notions of liberty, justice and equality, and who strive to better them.” The efforts of those in our country who have dedicated themselves to move the words “liberty,” "justice," and “equality” from “mist” to “solid” are many. As we have just celebrated Independence Day, keep in mind that these efforts continue and are best fueled when stories from the past are retold and remembered. In that spirit, I offer a story of an injustice experienced and later acknowledged, but well too late. It is the story of Hong Yen Chang. In 1871, at the age of 13, Hong Yen Chang came to the United States from China as part of an educational program. After graduating from Philips Academy, he attended Yale, where he received his undergraduate degree. Later, Chang attended Columbia Law School. In spite of a unanimous recommendation from the Bar Examiners in New York, Chang was refused admission as an attorney because he was not a citizen of the United States. After a judge issued Chang a certificate of naturalization, he was admitted to the New York Bar, becomT he Immigrant Learning Center (ILC) expanded its leaderHong Yen Chang ing the first Chinese-American lawyer. With a desire to serve the Chinese community in California, he applied for admission there, but was denied because California considered Chang’s naturalization certificate void under the provisions of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. More than 100 years later, Chang's descendants petitioned the courts in California for him to be granted posthumous bar admission. In 2015, the California Supreme Court [In re Chang, 60 Cal. 4th 1169] agreed, saying “… it is past time to acknowledge …the discriminatory exclusion of Chang …. It denied Chang equal protection of the laws… And it was a loss to … countless others who, like Chang, aspired to become a lawyer only to have their dream deferred on account of their race, alienage, or nationality. And it was a loss to our communities and to society as a whole, which denied itself the full talents of its people and the important benefits of a diverse legal profession.” Mark Rumley is an attorney who presently serves as special counsel in the City of Malden and deacon at Saint Raphael Parish in Medford. He is the former city solicitor in Medford.

Portnoy will continue as ILC’s CEO, concentrating on longer-term strategy for growing and strengthening the organization. Rivers will take on the responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations: offering free, year-round English classes to immigrant and refugee adults in Greater Boston; conducting research on the economic contributions of immigrants; and informing Americans about the economic and social contributions of immigrants. Rivers has been an ILC supporter for more than 20 years as a donor, volunteer and, starting in 2005, a member of the board of trustees. His successful career in bankVincent Rivers ILC Executive Director ing and investment management makes him a good choice for the financial side of the organization, and his long commitment to the mission positions him well to help ILC give more immigrants a voice. Rivers described his pivot from a profit-driven career to one that is mission-driven. “I always assumed I would find my way back to my roots. My parents were educators, and education has always been high on my priority list,” he said. “I wanted to point my career in a direction that has more of a social return. This seemed like the right time, and my longstanding relationship with The Immigrant Learning Center made it the right place for me. I could not be more thrilled for this opportunity to help Diane prepare The ILC for its next stage of growth.” Community members will have the opportunity to meet Rivers and the rest of the leadership team and learn more about their work when ILC hosts a reception this fall.

Mystic Valley Elder Services offers tips to beat the heat this summer W e have already had many heatwaves descend upon us this summer and it is expected they will continue throughout the season. During these hot and humid summer months, Mystic Valley Elder Services recommends that it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on the older adults in our lives. Older adults are much more likely to develop heat-related illnesses than younger people because as we age our bodies don’t adjust as well to drastic changes of temperature. Also, some medications that older adults are taking can affect the way their bodies regulate heat. Here are some tips and resources to help you beat the heat: • Slow down and avoid strenuous activity; don’t try to do too much on a hot day. • Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing; light colors will reflect heat and sunlight and help maintain normal body temperature. Protect your face with a widebrimmed hat. • Eat well-balanced, light, regular meals; avoid high protein foods that increase metabolic heat. • Cover windows that receive morning or afternoon sun with drapes, shades, awnings or louvers; outdoor awnings or louvers can reduce the heat that enters a home by up to 80 percent. • Air-conditioning can provide a lot of relief in the summer; on the most unbearably hot days when it’s too hot for fans to be effective, air conditioners can even help you stay safe. If you don’t have air-conditioning, stay on your lowest floor, out of the sun. Electric fans do not cool the air, but they do help evaporate perspiration, which cools your body. • The heat affects more than just people; our pets can be in danger when the temperature rises. Keep your animals safe and healthy in this heat; do not leave them in a hot car or without water. Staying hydrated The ability to feel thirst lessens with age so you may not realize when you need to drink more. You may find you have to use the bathroom more often, losing more fluid. As we age, our bodies start losing muscle (which holds water) and gain fat (which cannot hold water). Medications that increase urination or help constipation can also cause dehydration. Dehydration occurs when you don’t have enough fluid in your body. It can cause serious health problems, but luckily, it is easy to prevent. Dehydration might be caused or worsened by diarrhea, vomiting, overheating, diabetes, high fever or excessive sweating. If you experience any of these, be aware and make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. Hydration tips: • Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink; by this time you are already dehydrated. • Keep a glass of water near you and drink from it regularly. • Eat foods which contain water (fruits, soups, gelatin). • Keep a full water bottle in the refrigerator and take a drink every time you open it. • Drink extra in extreme heat to replace the water lost from sweating. • Start and end the day with a cup of water. • Do not replace water with alcohol or caffeinated drinks. • Recognize when your body is asking for more water. In extreme heat, it’s important that we watch out for each other and stay informed about how to remain healthy and safe when the thermometer climbs. Stay cool, hydrated and out of the harmful rays of the sun. Malden to receive $908K in Chapter 90 road repair funds S tate Senator Jason Lewis, as well as State Representatives Paul Donato, Steven Ultrino and Kate Lipper-Garabedian, worked to pass legislation that will provide the City of Malden with $908,906 to help fund local transportation infrastructure upgrades. The bill, An Act financing improvements to municipal roads and bridges, authorizes $200 million for municipal roads and bridges through the Chapter 90 program and $150 million to support statewide projects to address congestion, support electric vehicle infrastructure and improve public transit. The bill also includes language that clarifies that COVID-19 recovery funding received by the state from the federal government will be eligible for transportation infrastructure projects. An Act financing improvements to municipal roads and bridges was signed into law by Governor Charlie Baker on July 16. “Leaders at the state and local level continue to work together to ensure that our public infrastructure and transportation network are safe, reliable and useful,” said Lewis. “As we work towards a strong and equitable post-pandemic economic recovery, investment into our transportation infrastructure will produce significant benefits for our communities and our region.” “The Chapter 90 Program plays an important role in in the maintenance and development of our state’s transportation infrastructure projects,” said Donato. “Malden is a lively, hard-working community and there is no doubt that this investment will be of great benefit to the city, its citizens, and the surrounding area. It was a pleasure working with my colleagues to approve this funding, and I look forward to seeing the results in the next year.” “Public transportation and infrastructure are pillars of a healthy community and economy. They are also our most powerful tools to increase job opportunities and create sustainable growth,” said Ultrino. “The funds received from the Chapter 90 program represents another big step towards economic recovery and rebuilding our community in the post-pandemic world. I am proud to have worked alongside the rest of the delegation to secure such important funding for Malden.” “I am pleased to have secured $908,906 for Malden along with Senator Lewis and Representatives Donato and Ultrino,” said Lipper-Garabedian. “This important funding will be used for preservation, infrastructure, and important municipal improvement projects that improve the quality of life in our cities and towns. I am proud to secure funding that will help our community grow and prosper.” “We all know that that the funds borrowed by the state to help us get through COVID-19 will have to be paid back at some point,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “As a result, we thought this program might have been one of the first to do that but not only was Chapter 90 not reduced but it was actually kept at the same funding levels as pre-COVID. As always, thank you to our State Delegation for always supporting our community.” In addition to providing funding for local road and bridge repairs and maintenance, this legislation provides funding to communities to meet other local transportation needs. Specifically, the bill authorizes the following additional funding: • $25 million for the municipal small bridge program • $25 million for a traffic congestion relief program • $25 million for transit-supportive infrastructure • $25 million for municipal bus transit grants • $25 million for municipal mass transit access • $25 million for electric vehicles and electric-vehicle infrastructure for cities, towns and regional transit authorities Established by the Legislature in 1973, the Chapter 90 program provides funding to municipalities on an annual basis to assist with critical transportation infrastructure projects, including road and bridge repairs. The funding is allocated using a formula that is based on the weighted average of a community’s population, employment and total road miles. Chapter 90 funding can be used for a variety of purposes, including road resurfacing, sidewalks, street lighting, traffic control measures and roadside drainage. Municipalities can also use the money for the purchase, replacement and long-term lease of road-building machinery, equipment and tools.
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 23, 2021 Page 13 MPD hosts annual Junior Police Academy The Special Operations Unit of the Malden Police Department is shown with the first class of this year’s Junior Police Academy. (Photo Courtesy of the Malden Police Department) Delta variant targeting those without COVID vaccine By Christopher Roberson W ith the recent rise of the COVID-19 Delta variant, doctors at area hospitals suggest that this strain of the virus can attack anyone who has not been vaccinated – and it will do so with ease. Delta is a staggering 225 percent more contagious than the original COVID-19 virus and the other variants that have surfaced. “It is almost exclusively infecting unvaccinated individuals,” said Dr. Lou Ann Bruno-Murtha, division chief of infectious diseases at Cambridge Health Alliance. “This variant has demonstrated improved fitness and is expected to increase.” Although there have been instances of Delta breaking through the vaccine, Bruno-Murtha said, the probability of a vaccinated person becoming infected remains quite low. “Fully vaccinated individuals are very well protected against the Delta variant,” she said. “Only 0.1 percent of breakthrough infections in Massachusetts are attributed to Delta and by and large, have been mild infections not requiring hospitalization.” To date, 63 percent of Massachusetts residents are fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Bruno-Murtha said Delta is most likely to flourish among groups of unvaccinated individuals. “Local clusters will emerge, particularly where unvaccinated individuals gather now that masking and physical distancing in public areas is no longer required,” she said. “Masking and other mitigation strategies may need to be implemented locally, in response to increases in community transmission rates.” Looking ahead to the 20212022 school year, she strongly recommended that masks continue to be worn and that parents and school staff be fully vaccinated as well. Unlike last fall, Bruno-Murtha said remote learning is not the answer this year. “Our children will do better by returning to the classroom,” she said. “Although some cases will continue to occur in the foreseeable future, testing and contact tracing should limit clusters and enable public health and school officials to react quickly.” Dr. Scott Dryden-Peterson, an attending physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said Delta is now responsible for the majority of the state’s COVID-19 infections. Although studies remain ongoing, he said, the Delta strain appears to be more severe. “If community rates of COVID-19 continue to increase, either from Delta or another variant, increasing use of masks and distancing would be a good idea,” he said. “I advise my older patients and those with conditions that place them at risk to continue to wear masks in public indoor spaces, even after vaccination.” Dryden-Peterson said getting vaccinated will continue to be crucial, particularly since the upcoming school year is expected to be in-person. “To make schools as safe as possible, we should encourage vaccination of adults and older children to protect children who cannot yet be vaccinated,” he said. Therefore, until a pediatric vaccine becomes readily available for children under the age of 12, the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that children, ages two and older, wear masks.

Mayor Christenson said he, the residents of Malden and those from around the region who frequent downtown Malden and the MBTA Malden Center Orange Line station – located across the street from where the new Starbucks will be located – could not be happier. “Since I came into office (in 2011), Starbucks was our most requested franchise, and we have been on the hunt for all these years,” Mayor Christenson said in an online report.

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 23, 2021 ~ Greater Boston League Notebook ~ Once a Tornado... A lot of baseball years reunited Monday at Pine Banks Park Boudreau made his mark at Revere High; on to Curry College Previlon sets new Everett High track record in the 400 hurdles By Jason Mazzilli W hen a trio of two former Golden Tornadoes standouts and a “still going” Tornado coach just happened to reunite at their former “stomping grounds” at Pine Banks Parks Monday night, there were a lot of stirred-up memories... and lots of baseball years. Just by happenstance, when the Metro Red Sox team of the Boston Men’s Baseball League (BMBL) had a game at Pine Banks Park, it was the first time two former Malden High School baseball players had competed on their old high school field... since high school! For 1977 MHS graduate Billy Smeglin and 1987 MHS alumnus Sam Steed, that’s 44 years and 34 years, respectively, between games played on their former field. Add to it that the umpire assigned to the game behind the plate was another Tornado, Steve Freker. He is also an MHS grad in addition to being the present Malden High School varsity baseball head coach. Since Freker will mark his 40th season coaching in the high school athletics ranks beginning in the 20212022 school year, that represents over 100 years of baseball between just the three of them, not to mention the years spent on the diamond before high school. “I’ve been playing baseball since I was six in Malden Little League and I never stopped,” Smeglin told The Advocate, making it over 50 years pitching in total in consecutive seasons, since the 1960s at Devir Park. “This is the first time I played on this field since the 1976 season.” Smeglin – a crafty right-handed pitcher who was a teammate of MHS Hall of Famers Shawn Brickman, John Furlong, John Stanasek, Donnie Roach and Tony Jesi on the MHS Baseball Team (his coaches were Frank Adorn and Bob Ware) – also spent many years in the local Intercity semiprofessional league for several teams, including the Medford Mustangs and Melrose Rams. Smeglin never stopped, still taking the mound regularly for the Metro Sox in the 38+ division of the BMBL, in his early 60s in age. Steed, a lefty ace who was 8-0 on the mound his senior year at Malden High in 1987, was also an undefeated pitcher for the Barons in Malden Babe Ruth in the mid-1980s and the Malden Bambinos in Senior Babe Ruth League, in the late 1980s. He went on to win two NCAA Division 2 National Baseball Championship rings with the University of Tampa in 1991 and 1992. Since college and a couple of pro ball tryouts, Steed has continued to play in the Intercity League for several teams, including a bevy of title seasons with the Lexington Blue Sox. On Monday night, he was the starting pitcher and was well on his way to a win when a lights malfunction cut the game short. Umpiring the game was Malden High baseball Head Coach Steve Freker. Coincidentally, he was an assistant varsity baseball coach in his second and third years at Malden High when Steed hurled for the Tornados in 1986 and 1987. “I had a lot of memories here and it’s great to come back to the park where it all started,” Steed said. **** Revere’s Calvin Boudreau on to Curry College after being ‘Man for All Seasons’ at Revere High Hard to believe you won’t be seeing Quarterback Calvin Boudreau out there at Della Russo Stadium this fall for the first time since 2016. No, #8 won’t be seeking out receivers and deking defenders this fall for Coach Lou Cicatelli, as he has graduated from Revere High and will be moving on to Curry College, where he will vie for playing time as a freshman this fall. Boudreau – who was a “Man for All Seasons” as Revere High’s first-time threesport Greater Boston League All-Star (football, basketball, baseball) in decades – will be embarking on his first-ever college football preseason camp at Curry in two short weeks. Curry will open its season on Saturday September 4 on a road trip to MIT, which will afford Boudreau’s family and friends a chance to check out the Colonels in nearby Cambridge.

When two veteran team managers with over 35 years of service between them went head-tohead at Kezer Field at Pine Banks Park on Wednesday night, it was the odds-on favorite that prevailed. Led by a big night at the plate from several key contributors, Manager Deano Summers’ Flames topped Chris Kosuk’s Chiefs in a one-sided victory to take the 2021 City Series Championship. The Flames had come into the title final with a perfect 2-0 mark and had to be beaten twice in the double-elimination battle. The Chiefs lost to the regular season first-place Pilots in the first round of the playoffs, but caught lightning in a bottle the second time around and defeated the pennant winners the Pilots to put themselves in the finals. In Wednesday’s championship final, the Flames got big contributions from Jacky Summers, Jake Simpson, Rysan Cogswell and Jackson Norales. Ezechiel Noelsaint and Saul Kruckenberg played well for the Chiefs. Congratulations to the Flames, who were led on the field by Manager Deano Summer and Coach Nolan Bagley. The Flames players are William Baker, Chase Boiling, Ryan Cogswell, Gabriel Fernandes, Mike Goslin, Sean Hudson, Jackson Norales, Robert Sewell, Jake Simpson, Christian Spoto, Bo Stead and Jacky Summers.

Charlie Baker signed into law a bill that includes authorizing $200 million in one-time funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges in cities and towns across the state. The $350 million package, a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds, also includes MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6 back for some hard-hitting interviews with both candidates in future columns. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – he was a “Son of Edgeworth.” The neighborhood mourns once again as yet another small part of it passes away with West Street’s Richard Santo. If you knew “Dickie,” you loved Dickie – his beautiful wife of 63 years, Maryjane, and wonderful sons Robby, Barry and Dickie also. They are/were what makes a city like Malden such a great place to live – The Santos of Malden – their lives and our lives overlapping like all close-knit communities do these things. His was a life well lived, raising those three beautiful boys, all giving back to the community to this very day. I’ll never forget that great head of hair on Dickie! I’ll never forget seeing Dickie and his wife walking the neighborhood. Like clockwork. I’ll never forget seeing both of them at Devir Park supporting their three sons as they tore through Little League, Babe Ruth League, all the way to the Intercity League and beyond. The Santos were a big $150 million to pay for bus lanes, improvement of public transit, electric vehicles and other state transportation projects. “Public transportation is a public good,” said Senate Transportation Committee Chair Sen. Joe Boncore (D-Winthrop). “The $350 million investment is among the largest Chapter 90 bond bills to date and represents the Legislature’s commitment to safe roads, reliable bridges and modernized transit infrastructure.” “The long-standing state-municipal partnership established under the Chapter 90 program is critical to helping cities and towns meet their transportation infrastructure needs,” said part of the Levine’s childhood, and a big part of Malden’s for just as long. Mr. Santo, you will be missed. Postscript 1: His daughterin-law (Barry’s wife) Rose posted this loving tribute to Dick on her Facebook page: “I lost my beloved father-in-law over the weekend. Richard ‘Dick’ Santo passed away on Friday, July 2nd. He took his last breath, surrounded by family and his loving cat, Liberace. His health had been gradually deteriorating over the past several years. He was a wonderful, caring man with a great sense of humor. He was the ideal father-in-law, everyone loved him. I always enjoyed chatting with him especially about the movies that Barry and I watched and current affairs. He always had great stories to tell us. He and his wife Maryjane were true soul mates. They were married for 63 years, and you would never see one without the other. We are all going to miss you so much Dick, and you will always be fondly remembered by those who knew you. God bless you.” Postscript 2: City of Malden Parking Supervisor Ernie Ardolino explained to me last week about the “Robby Santo Rule.” Robby grew up on West GOP House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “Today’s agreement continues the House and Senate’s ongoing commitment to support this important road and bridge program.” “When building a better normal post-pandemic, investment in transportation infrastructure is crucial,” said Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “Our communities should feel that their infrastructure is reliable and making it easier for them to go back to their normal activities.” “This legislation recognizes that in addition to the backlog of local roads in need of repair, there is an unmet need for local projects that benefit all modes Street, played baseball at Devir Park and eventually became so good at the sport that he was signed by the Baltimore Orioles and toiled in their minor league system until injuries shortened his career sometime in the mid 1980’s. So, it’s the mid 1990’s, Ernie is playing Little League ball for the Braves at Devir; home games on Bruce Field; Robby is playing in the super competitive Intercity League for the Medford Mustangs – an away game on the big league diamond for Robby. Rewind three weeks prior to this game: The late Larry Lehane is sitting in the stands watching the L.L. games on Bruce; Robby is at bat on the big league diamond. He hits a shot to right over everything. It’s a mammoth clout by the lefty swinging Robby Santo. It bops Larry right on the head – no serious injury reported but still a dangerous situation. Fast forward three weeks: The Mustangs are back at Devir, but there will be no repeat of Robby bopping anybody off the head. New rule in effect – the Robby Santo Rule – where play is stopped and time called on Bruce Field each and every time Robby is at bat. The Robby Santo Rule goes into the history books. True story. of transportation,” said Rep. Bill Straus (D-Mattapoisett) House chair of the Committee on Transportation. “I am pleased that the Legislature was able to provide municipal assistance for road work and expanded funding for towns and cities to advance public transit and reduce congestion.” Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough) said the bill is a smart investment for the commonwealth. “There is no question our local infrastructure is in dire need of repairs and upgrades,” said Feeney. “As we recover from the pandemic and businesses and offices reopen, more people are hitting the roads and commuting once again. This comprehensive investment in our transportation infrastructure will put people to work and allow our city and town officials to forge ahead with the critical projects necessary to keep our communities moving along safely.” “These funds will continue a partnership with our cities and towns ensuring that our infrastructure needs are met at the local level,” said Rep. Brad Hill (R-Ipswich). (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul DonatoYes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason LewisYes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been 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 preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of July 1216, the House met for a total of seven hours and 42 minutes while the Senate met for a total of three hours and 23 minutes. Mon.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 23, 2021 a y avvy Seniorioreniioor a vy avvy vavvy ennioorn rniiori by Jim Miller Why You Should Create a “My Social Security Account” Dear Savvy Senior, I’m 58 years old and working on a plan for my retirement. I’ve read that I need to check my Social Security statement every year to validate its accuracy. How do I go about doing this? Planning Ahead Dear Planning, Checking your official Social Security statement every year is smart move to make sure your posted earnings are correct, which will ensure you get the benefits you’re entitled to. But most Americans don’t do it. In fact, most U.S workers have never even created a digital “my Social Security account” so they can access their statement information. Here’s what you should know. Online Statements In 2017, as a cost cutting measure, the Social Security Administration stopped mailing paper Social Security statements to everyone under age 60. The only people who still get statements in the mail are those over age 60 who aren’t yet getting benefits and who haven’t set up an online account. (Paper statements, however, are still available to anyone on request by submitting form SSA-7004.) If you haven’t done so, you should create a “my Social Security account” which will give you instant access to your personal Social Security statement so you can check your earning record and get estimates of your future retirement benefits at full retirement age, as well as at age 62 and age 70. Your statement will also let you know how much you would qualify for if you become disabled, and how much your family members will receive in survivors’ benefits if you die. How to Create an Account? To create a “my Social Security account,” go to SSA.gov/ myaccount. When you open the account, you’ll be asked to enter your Social Security number and birth date, and you’ll also be prompted to answer a series of multiplechoice questions that might include inquiries about financial products you own and previous addresses to confirm your identity. Then you’ll receive a code by either email or text, which you will enter online to complete the process. If you have a problem creating an online account, call 800772-1213. After you establish an account, you’ll get an annual email reminder to log on and review your statement. If you have a security freeze on your credit report to help ward off fraud, you must lift it temporarily to set up your online Social Security account. Specifically, you’ll need to thaw the freeze at Equifax, the company the administration currently uses to help verify users’ identities. Creating an online account is also a good idea to prevent someone else from fraudulently creating one first and using it to steal benefit payments in the future. Given the number of security breaches in recent years, it’s possible someone may be able to illegally obtain your sensitive personal information, like your Social Security number, and use it to set up an account in your name. Once you get access to your statement, compare the earnings listed on your statement with your own tax records or W-2 statements. You have to correct errors within 3 years, 3 months and 15 days following the year of the mistake. If you happen to spot a discrepancy within that time limit, call 800772-1213 to report the error. Some corrections can be made over the phone, or you may need to schedule an appointment and go in with copies of your W-2 forms or tax returns to prove the mistake, or you can mail it in. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

The new Starbucks location will occupy more than 2,500 square feet of space on the building’s ground floor at the corner of Commercial and Exchange Streets and will also offer outdoor patio seating. Starbucks will join 110 Grill and Evviva Trattoria, two full-service restaurants that opened at the building earlier this summer. Both the 110 Grill and Evviva Trattoria have enjoyed a lot of business already, as have other new specialty eateries which have opened in that part of the downtown in recent months. Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse chain in the world, and in December 2020 announced plans to open more than 20,000 new locations in the next decade, the Malden Starbucks being among the first of that wave of expansion. By the end of 2030, it is expected that Starbucks will have added to its existing 32,000 existing locations and reached approximately 55,000 internationally. There are actually more Starbucks located outside of the United States – in 75 countries – than there are in this country. In contrast, Dunkin’ has expanded internationally in the past 25 years to 42 countries worldwide, with about 12,900 locations around the world.
