It kind of goes with the job of heading up one of the most culturally vibrant and diverse communities in the Commonwealth. That is why he was so impressed with the impressive artwork now on display at Malden High School’s Cafeteria “A” following a summer-long project by Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program (MYSEP) employees. “It is incredible what our Malden youth can create when given some guidance and then encouraged to express themselves,” Mayor Christenson said during a A LIVING GALLERY: Malden Mayor Gary Christenson (center) and Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program (MYSEP) supervisor/art teacher Emily Gonzalez (to his left) joined with the youth workers to mark a visually appealing and transformational space at Malden High School’s Cafeteria “A”.

The Mayor discussed the project with its MYSEP supervisor, Emily Gonzalez, who will be beginning her third year as an Art Teacher at the Salemwood K-8 School this fall. What is especially impressive, the Mayor said, was the fact that a number of the MYSEP workers who created some of the fantastic artwork had done so on their fi rst-ever try at such a project. “They had never been involved in a project like this, and they did a tremendous job. What an accomplishment,” Mayor Christenson said, with a lot of praise in his voice. “I never cease to be amazed at 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut St. We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!

It is a great contribution to our high school and community.” “We are assigned students, a lot of them who had not requested this type of work, or any art-related work at all,” Gonzalez told the Advocate, “and we teach them, we work with them.

That project had a sports and cityscape theme, and it was a major success. “The students and staff loved the work those Mayor’s program artists did in that cafeteria,” Mastrangelo said, “and they will love this new art as well.” Gonzalez said the youth workers take a lot of pride in their task, noting that the finished product is a tangible one. “Their work here will live on; they really feel they have made a valuable contribution. That is a life skill learned through the MYSEP program and that is always our primary goal.”

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 11, 2023 Page 3 ~ Malden Musings ~ “Barney Kahn Revisited” By Peter Levine S herman, set the Wayback Machine to... A couple weeks back I mentioned Arthur Kahn’s dad, Barney, who was nicknamed “The Dean of Merchants” when he ruled the roost during “Malden, Back in the Day.” I gave no background info when I namechecked this legend who founded, arguably, the most successful business ever to call Malden Square home, Malden Jewelry. So, without further ado, here’s a little story about a man named Barney... Malden Jewelry started out as a one-man operation back in 1933. By 1959 he employed over 20 people in the offi ce and on his sales staff as well as his two pride and joys, son Arthur (diamond salesman) and son David, who handled stock and inventory. Malden Jewelry also saw Eddie Golden (silver and camera department) starting in 1934, Thelma Cullertin (bookkeeper), who started in 1929, Gert Daniels, Paul Hunt and Carl Silbert (store manager), who began his MJ career in 1927. Later, Ben Averbrook and Chris Dracopoulos were hired – starting as messengers before working their way up the sales force. Barney worked his way up the success ladder the hard way, fi rst as a newspaper boy earning just enough money over the years to open his fi rst business in 1925 at 216 Pleasant St. – right next door to the long-gone Strand Theatre (today that is where Malden Center Fine Wines is). In the beginning Mrs. Barney (Matilda) Kahn was the bookkeeper and half the sales force. As sales boomed the Kahns decided to relocate to upper Pleasant Street. The store increased four times its size and fi t snugly between the (again) long-gone Liggett’s Drug Store, Moe’s Smoke Shop, Granada Theatre and the popular teen hangout, The Palace of Sweets. Barney was a big supporter and a driving force behind the Malden Chamber of Commerce – getting himself involved in just about everything good that happened in Malden at the time. Barney brought life to Malden Square, anchoring the downtown area during what is referred to by Maldonians of a certain age as the “Golden Age” of shopping in Malden. In perspective, think Douglas Tran of mid-20th-century Malden. Douglas took a chance when he opened All Seasons Table in the not so glamorous Malden Square of just a few short years ago, and it’s paid off , “bigly.” Others saw Douglas’ success (through hard work, wicked awesome food and some of the best bartenders Regular Unleaded $3.539 MidUnleaded $3.839 Super $4.089 Diesel Fuel $4.159 ANGELO’S A FULL SERVICE 1978-2023 Celebrating 45 Years in Business!

Thank you, Douglas, once again. Thank you, Barney Kahn, for what you and your family have done for Malden. “What you are about to read is a matter of human record. Explain it: we cannot. Disprove it: we cannot. We simply invite you to explore with us the amazing world of the Unknown ... to take that One Step ... Beyond.” With the Titanic back in the news, I thought I would re-run this gem... “hard to believe Jerry Lee Lewis’s right-hand man, Gary Skala, has been gone 11 years now. Gary was a Long Island guy via Chicago and Florida who helped organize the original Jerry Lee Lewis Fan Club back in the late 1950s with the legendary Kay Martin. Gary worked his way up the Jerry Lee food chain and eventually became his personal assistant/ bodyguard/babysitter. Whenever our paths crossed, he would regale us with stories of life on the road with one of the pioneers of rock n roll, Jerry Lee Lewis. But the most interesting story he ever told was perhaps, a personal one. The story goes that in 1912 his grandfather was to be working his way across the Atlantic as a servant on the ill-fated luxury liner, the Titanic. Family lore has it that he spent the evening before the famous maiden voyage at a pub in Southampton, ‘drinking whiskey, smoking cigarettes, and playing cards.’ He never made it home that night. Instead, he passed out in the alley behind the pub and missed the launch. He ended up volunteering on ships destined to pick up survivors shortly after the disaster. His ‘Papa’ emigrated to the States shortly after. Gary has a tall glass of whiskey every year on the anniversary for his grandpappy and for the ‘souls who lost their lives that night.’” “Malden Musings” redux...

I have consistently pursued my vision of a more transparent and accessible government by working with my colleagues to create policy to ensure that all our meetings will be accessible to the public, both in person and virtually. As a member of the finance committee, I successfully pushed for our budget meetings to be virtual— for the first time ever in Malden! I am working hard to bring transparency and accountability to the City Council, and that includes keeping you updated on agendas, what is being voted on, and how I have voted on each matter that comes before the Council. I am always happy to share my views, always willing to listen, and always committed to making informed decisions based on facts and data. We are making progress and expanding communications in the city with the help of our language access coordinator. Language access is a critical component of equal access to local government services and improved engagement. Barriers are preventing people from engaging. I helped organize the first city meeting translated in real time for our Asian community. This was the first of more to come in different languages which will connect our residents with city Our 51st Anniversary Chris 2023 develop a plan to expand our revenue sources and tax base to offset future expenses. I look forward to continuing to Karen Colón Hayes Councillor-at-Large government. I attended the Racial Equity Commission meetings and co-sponsored a resolve to engage a consultant, host town hall community meetings, analyze demographic data and review the past history of racial equity efforts to make recommendations to the administration and elected officials. We need forward-thinking leaders. Balancing immediate needs with long term planning, setting clear priorities, and making conscious trade offs—these are the keys to moving Malden forward. Malden will be facing some real financial difficulties in the coming years and we must develop a plan to address the challenges heading our way. These include funding pension benefit costs for City staff and retirees, paying Malden’s required contribution to the Northeast Metro Tech High School construction project; repairing our parking garages, roads, and City buildings; continuing to remove lead pipes and make our water safer; and funding great public schools for the next generation. One of my top priorities is community safety. Our first responders must have the tools, training, and resources they need to do their jobs. I was part of the committee that worked in collaboration with the Mayor’s office, the Police Chief and community members to unanimously vote on a City Ordinance establishing a Police/Community Advisory Council. The aim is to promote public awareness and community engagement on the city’s police services, programs, and general public safety issues. The PCAC will also help to facilitate open dialogue and assist the Malden Police Department in their public safety mission. We need to balance our wants and needs. I support the Malden River Works Project and the idea of an Arts and Culture Center as well as the public park renovations, but we urgently need to work with my fellow Councillors to develop this plan. I bring to the table 25 years of experience in management, including 10 years working as a city employee, the first 6 years in the Mayor’s Office until 2017 when I was promoted to the Human Services and Community Outreach Director. I have a proven track record of balancing a budget and increasing revenue sources with grant funding. But grants alone will not fund our City. We have already missed years of potential revenue from the delay in opening cannabis shops, but we can improve the situation by changing our restrictive ordinances. Malden is a desirable place to live, work, and run a business. Let’s capitalize on that attractiveness and welcome more new businesses of all types to Malden. If we are to thrive as a city, we can no longer rely on business-as-usual and reactive, siloed decision making. Urban resilience demands that we look holistically at our capacities and risks; that perspective is possible only if we engage meaningfully with all parts of our community, including our most vulnerable members. This engagement is not easy—it requires dedication and hard work. When my husband Pat and I chose Malden as the place we would raise our family, we immediately became invested in this wonderful city. We volunteered at community events, we helped organize a neighborhood improvement group (FOOGI) We volunteered for the PTO and school activities, we coached soccer and softball, we led Girl Scout troops and made lifelong friends. Serving the people of Malden has been a top priority for me for the past 30 years and my commitment has never been stronger! Including YOUR voice in my decisions is something I will continue to do while representing the interests of all of Malden’s residents. #Together We Rise. I want to hear from YOU—and share more about my plans for Malden. l will be holding virtual office hours bi-weekly on Wednesday nights 7:00pm8:00PM beginning July 19th.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 11, 2023 Page 9 Lissette for Mayor of Malden Campaign Introduces Platform Initiative #2 - Improving Our Public Infrastructure (Note: This is a press release submitted by Lissette Alvarado.) M ALDEN, MA — Malden Mayoral candidate, Lissette Alvarado, and her campaign are pleased to introduce Platform Initiative #2: Improving Public Infrastructure in Malden. Improving our public infrastructure system will increase public safety, reduce transportation headaches, and improve our quality of life. First and foremost, we will move forward with building a new and modern Fire Headquarters for our Malden Fire Department. The building they currently reside in is beautiful and historic, but does not meet the modern needs of a city our size, or of the civil servants who do this hard and heroic work for us on a daily basis. Our fi re department deserves better. We will resituate our new Fire Headquarters to a more centralized location so that travel times to Maplewood Highlands to the north, and Newland Street Housing to the south can be reached in under 4 minutes when a fi re or medical emergency arises. It is not fair to residents of central Malden who have to cope with longer response times due to the lack of a fi re station in that area. An increase in public infrastructure here will specifi cally lead to an increase in Malden’s public safety. Secondly, we must modernize our traffi c light system. Although the system we have works and works well, it is an analog system leftover from 50 years ago. It is outdated and does not support the technology that could improve our traffic wait times. By beginning to modernize our traffic light system on our bike lane roads first, we can dramatically improve traffic, wait times, and the mental health for everyone who drives in Malden. It should not take forty minutes to travel through our city on our main roads. By installing newer systems where needed fi rst, we will be able to electronicalmore public spaces that can be used by the community. We hear wonderful stories about how Malden used to have a stage at Devir where bands played, library annexes around the city, Ward rooms in several locations. We want that back. We can identify city owned lots and buildings and retrofi t them for public use and to meet the needs of our communities today. Finally, and most importantly, we want you in on the ground fl oor of all of these decisions. With increased community outreach and language access options, we can truly build the Malden you want. Lissette has heard your complaints and will move forward to make sure that our infrastructure plan for the next four years prioritizes your needs. JOHN MACKEY & ASSOCIATES ~ Attorneys at Law ~ * PERSONAL INJURY * REAL ESTATE * FAMILY LAW Lissette for Mayor of Malden ly update the timing of our signals at any time, and start building a database of quantifi able data in order to adjust the system as needed in the future. An improvement in infrastructure here would streamline traffi c, reduce stress and headaches, plus best meet the needs of our residents and visitors who travel throughout our city on a daily basis. Thirdly, we will reprioritize the road work schedule, especially as it revolves around reducing the number of lead water pipes in our city. There are some streets that haven’t seen any roadwork updates for decades. That means a lot of potholes, lead pipes that haven’t been replaced, and possible risks of safety and damage to your vehicles. We will meet these needs where they are, and make sure that roads are being worked on in every ward. Fourth, we must identify a new space for our Malden Teen Enrichment Center (MTEC). The current agreement to share the Senior Center is a disservice to both groups. The Senior Center was built for the sole purpose of meeting the needs of our seClassifieds Advocate Call now! 617-387-2200 advertise on the web atwww.advocatenews.net nior population. It has proven to be a convenient stopgap for our teen program, since MTEC had to move out of their last location due to the building being demolished, but it is time that we prioritize our teens and give them center that focuses only on them. We’re talking about a dedicated space that could include: academic help, college counseling services, classes on adulting (such as writing a resume, getting a job, paying bills and taxes), a maker space, afterschool meals, continuing the great programming they have today, and expanding upon it with citywide partnerships in order to increase service to our high school population of 1,856 students. A dedicated center can inspire, teach, off er a safe space, and engage so many more of our young people.

Page 10 Blind resident frustrated with MBTA’s The Ride By Tara Vocino A blind Malden resident recently voiced her displeasure about her struggles taking the MBTA’s The Ride, feeling abandoned while waiting for her return pickup back to her Malden home. “Being stranded for three hours isn’t okay,” Marie Hennessey said. “Other times, they are failing to show up or are late, maybe because they couldn’t find me, or they reassign drivers.” Hennessey said she feels discriminated against and that isn’t acceptable. She said the security guards at North Station help her when she’s in Boston, but says it’s not their responsibility. The Ride sent her a letter apologizing for the inconvenience. But she feels that more has to be done. They asked her to take an Uber, the mobile app, but she doesn’t feel comfortable doing that, because she is blind. THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 11, 2023 HAPPY BIRTHDAY | FROM PAGE 1 “This has been going on for a few years,” Hennessey said. “The barriers have to be removed.” She said others have been in the same situation, but they haven’t filed action, so she feels she has to speak out on their behalf. Hennessey takes The Ride several days a week into Boston from Malden for errands and work duties. She said the issue has been mostly in Boston trying to get back to Malden.

He was a carpenter. Prezioso was a substitute teacher and owned her own alteration shop called “Gloria’s Alterations.” Together, they had two children: Robert, 80, of Saugus, and Gloria, 74, of Fort Myers, Fla.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 11, 2023 Page 11 Malden man, 22, sentenced in federal drug trafficking case involving fentanyl and firearm possession FBI investigated and prosecuted case with assistance from Malden Police and State Police A 22-year-old Malden man was sentenced this week in federal court in Boston for operating a drug traffi cking enterprise in which he sold fentanyl, cocaine and cocaine base to an undercover offi cer on multiple occasions. Dhamari Jordan, a/k/a/ “DMO,” a/k/a “DMO Crashout,” was sentenced on Tuesday by U.S. District Court Judge Leo T. Sorokin to time served (approximately three years in prison) and fi ve years of supervised release. In August 2021, Jordan pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance, one count of possession of a fi rearm in furtherance of a drug traffi cking crime and one count of conspiracy to possess fi rearms in furtherance of a drug traffi cking crime. Jordan and other members of his conspiracy were captured on recording selling fentanyl, cocaine and cocaine base to an undercover offi cer on three occasions in January 2021. During these sales, Jordan was on pretrial release for a pending fi rearms case in Cambridge District Court from June 2019. Acting U.S. Attorney Joshua S.

By marrying your unique design perspective with your backyard needs, you can create even greater memories with your family and friends, amping up the yard’s purpose and value. “Mulligan the TurfMutt and Department of Justice ton Field Division, James M. Ferguson; and Interim Colonel of the Massachusetts State Police John E. Mawn, Jr., made the announcement on August 9. Valuable assistance was provided by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Offi ce, Suff olk District Attorney’s Office, Boston Police Department and Malden Police Department.

Even small changes to your yard can make a big impact on how much you and your family enjoy spending time at home and doing what we call ‘backyarding’.” The first step is to decide which backyard style suits you best and understanding how you’ll use your dream yard, according to Kiser. Here are style suggestions from the TurfMutt Foundation to kick off your creativity in creating a yard style all your own: •Zen Garden. Serenity is the name of the game with a zen garden. Elements could include a relaxing water feature, easyto-maintain plants and shrubs, strategically placed lighting, and a hammock swinging gently in the breeze between two trees. •Play Yard. A play yard has a single mission: to have fun with family and friends. Create zones for all of the activities your family may want to tackle. Have a budding soccer star? Use the grassy area for a practice fi eld. Need a place to cool off ? Think about adding a pool or splash pad. Have kids and pets that need a place to get out the wiggles? Add a sandbox for digging. Remember, live plants, shrubs and trees make great boundaries between diff erent zones in the yard. •Entertainment Oasis. For those who view their home as the hottest spot in the neighborhood, an entertainment oasis is just the ticket. Seating is a must, so map out diff erent areas for eating and conversing. A fi re pit can help keep guests warm during chilly evening gatherings, and you can whip up a delicious dinner in an outdoor kitchen. If your neighbors are nearby, consider a wall of bushes or potted plants to create privacy. Hang string lights to create ambiance, and add lots of plants and fl owering bushes to create an inviting outdoor atmosphere. •Wildlife Sanctuary. Those who want to create a wildlife sanctuary in their own backyard should opt for a mix of native and adaptive plants that are recognizable and useful for local wildlife. A diverse array of fl owering plants attract birds, bees and butterfl ies. A bee fountain or hummingbird feeder can help pollinators thrive by providing important hydration. For other wildlife, provide natural sources of habitat by planting shrubs and trees. •Outdoor Offi ce. Taking work outdoors is all the rage for those who want to strike a good worklife balance. Set up your outdoor offi ce for success by selecting a comfortable, quiet spot that off ers seating and shade near electrical outlets and a strong Wi-Fi signal. The appropriate lighting and heating features can help extend the usefulness of the outdoor offi ce. Jazz up your video conference background by making sure trees, bushes and plants are viewable or add a green wall or a tall potted plant behind your seat. ~ Home of the Week ~ Saugus.... 7 rooms, 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath, warm and inviting home nestled on a side street, cul-desac.

Our volunteers, City officials and nonprofit partners come together each year to make this a signature event for our organization. MOA President Paul Hammersley remarked; “I think this might have been the best one we’ve ever had. Thank you, thank you to everyone who helped.” A special shout out to the City of Malden and all of the various departments who helped us coordinate the Tug of War was so much fun! event, and to city councillors and Winslow for the Bike Helmet giveaway.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 11, 2023 ~ Political Endorsement ~ Page 15 Amanda Linehan Endorsed for Malden City Council Ward 3 by Environmental League of Massachusetts Action Fund he Environmental League of Massachusetts Action Fund has endorsed Amanda Linehan in the election for Malden City Council Ward 3, a credit to her commitment to the environment and climate action. With issues of public health, environmental justice, transportation, and energy policy inextricably linked, we need leaders at every level of government who understand the pressing issues of their community and will call for ambitious action. “In her fi rst two terms, AmanT da has spearheaded the adoption of a new curbside compost program and secured funding for the creation of the fi rst new park in Malden in a generation,” said Casey Bowers, Executive Director of the ELM Action Fund. “We are thrilled to endorse her for a third term.” “I am thrilled and honored to once again have the endorsement of the Environmental League of Massachusetts Action Fund. We share a sense of urgency around the environmental challenges facing our city and state and are ready to work together to move the needle on climate and clean energy goals,” said Linehan. “I am committed to making this issue my most urgent policy priority, because our children’s future and the health of our planet is at stake.” During her time in offi ce so far, Amanda Linehan secured $6.5 million in state funding to preserve nine acres of land in Ward 3 at the site of the former Malden Hospital. This new open space will create the fi rst new park in Malden in decades and will be built in conjunction with the redevelopment of the former hospital campus into a new all-ages behavioral health facility that will be EV-ready, bike-commute friendly, and boast Malden’s fi rst-ever geothermal construction project. Her climate plans for the next term include re-greening hard surfaces, improving bike infrastructure, and adopting lower parking-minimum zoning in ~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ We Must Trust Our Elected Officials to be Forthcoming and Transparent Dear Editor, I am writing this letter to Malden Advocate newspaper in reference to the article published in last week’s August 4th edition where it stated that Councilor-at-Large Karen Colon-Hayes was fi ned a $7,500 Civil Penalty to the State of Mass. Confl ict of Interest law. Mrs. Colon-Hayes, you are an elected offi cial by the citizens of Malden. We trust our elected offi cials to be forthcoming and transparent with us. You have violated that trust as a sitting councilor-at-large. Not only did you keep this from the voters, you did a good job hiding this inquiry by the state ethics commission for almost two years. You were entrusted by the City of Malden to be fair, and impartial in overseeing the city as Human Services and Outreach director under the Mayor’s Summer Youth and Employment program (MSYEP). You were told by the Mayor’s Chief of Staff not to supervise your daughter you continued to do so after being told not to supervise her. You also approved a pay raise for her after being told not to supervise her. In 2019, you continued to be insubordinate to the Mayor’s offi ce by supervising your daughter and, now her boyfriend, you were also entrusted by the City of Malden to supervise weekly timesheets for both your daughters and boyfriend, again, being told not to continue this practice by the Mayor’s chief of staff . You admitted to sufficient facts of violating the state’s confl ict of interest laws prohibition against public employees knowingly or with reason to know acting in a manner that would cause a reasonable person to doubt their fairness in the performance of their offi cial duties. Mrs. Colon-Hayes how in any way can the voters of Malden trust you? Your deliberate insubordination to a city offi cial. Not being transparent to the voters of Malden and admitting to the state ethics commission you did this. At this point, you should resign from the Malden city council immediately. The sitting council president should also ask for your resignation immediately. Ms. Colon-Hayes you have violated the trust of the voters of Malden.

Maura Healey a conference committee version of a $56.2 billion fiscal 2024 state budget for the fiscal year that began July 1. The price tag represents a $3.8 billion increase over last year’s fiscal 2023 budget. The House and Senate had approved different versions of the budget and a conference committee hammered out a compromise version agreeable to both branches. Provisions include $171.5 million to require public schools to provide universal free school meals to all students; $50 million to support free community colleges; $50 million to create Green School Works, a program to fund projects to install and maintain clean energy infrastructure at public schools; $6.59 billion in Chapter 70 education funding for cities and towns, an increase of $604 million over last year; $504.5 million for the special education circuit breaker; $181 million for MBTA capital projects; $19.81 billion for MassHealth, the state’s Medicaid program that provides health care for low-income and disabled persons; and a new law that prisons must provide free unlimited incoming and outgoing phone calls for prisoners. Another provision would allow undocumented/illegal immigrants to qualify for the lower in-state college tuition rate if they attended high school here for at least three years and graduated or completed a GED. “This budget represents a major step forward for our commonwealth, particularly in making higher education more affordable and more accessible to everyone,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “Tuition equity, free community college for nursing students and students 25 and older and laying the groundwork for free universal community college starting next fall—all part of the Senate’s Student Opportunity Plan—are crucial to securing our long-term competitiveness, providing residents with concrete ways to create the futures they dream of, and continuing our state’s commitment to education at every level.” “From critical investments in health care and workforce development, to funding for new initiatives that are designed to increase educational opportunities, better support working families and provide for a safer and more reliable public transportation system, this fiscal year 2024 budget will help to make Massachusetts more affordable, while ensuring that the commonwealth’s most consequential institutions work better for Massachusetts residents,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “Massachusetts continues to move in a positive direction by making significant investments in this budget,” said Rep. Todd Smola (R-Warren), the ranking House member of the Committee on Ways and Means. “We prioritize local funding by increasing general government aid to municipalities and double the minimum aid contribution per pupil for education." "While there were many good provisions in the budget, the final version contained policies, unrelated to the budget itself, that we could not support,” said Reps. Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick) and Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) in a joint statement. The statement continued, “Seniors, renters, small businesses and hard-working families can barely afford to make ends meet. As a result, Massachusetts continues to see one of the highest out-migrations in the country. At the same time, this budget provides a massive expansion in financial benefits for illegal immigrants. It's easier for Hollywood movie studios and multi-national corporations to get massive tax cuts than for the working-class to catch a break. The people of Massachusetts deserve better." “Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka once again demonstrated that the Massachusetts legislature is not open to transparency or tax relief," said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. "They released the budget from conference committee after 8 p.m. on a Sunday night in late July and are requiring their members to vote on the $56.2 billion dollar budget less than 24 hours later." Craney continued, "They go through great lengths to hide a secret we already know, the Massachusetts legislature failed to provide any tax tangible relief in their budget. Despite an obvious need for the state to become more economically competitive after the narrow passage of the income surtax which is driving taxpayers to New Hampshire and Florida, Speaker Mariano and Senate President Spilka failed to respond." (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes SUSPEND RULES TO ALLOW AMENDMENTS TO THE BUDGET (H 4040)_ House 25-132, voting strictly along party lines, rejected a motion to suspend House rules in order to allow the House to consider amendments to the conference committee version of the budget. House rules prohibit any amendments from being offered to a conference committee version of a state budget and allows only an up or down vote on the entire package. Suspending the rules would allow representatives to offer an unlimited number of amendments to the spending plan. Republicans supported rule suspension while Democrats opposed it. The debate centered around a provision in the conference committee version of the budget that would allow undocumented/illegal immigrants to qualify for the lower in-state college tuition rate if they attended high school here for at least three years and graduated or completed a GED. They would also be required to provide a college or university with a valid social security number or taxpayer identification number, an affidavit indicating they applied for citizenship or legal permanent residence, or plan to do so once eligible and proof they registered for selective service if applicable. Under current law, in-state students pay $17,357 in tuition to attend UMass Amherst, while their undocumented/illegal immigrant classmates who do not qualifypay $39,293. The provision was included in the Senate version of the budget but was not included in the House version. The conference committee opted to include the provision in the compromise version. Supporters of rule suspension said it is unfair and undemocratic for the provision to be included in the final budget when the House never had the opportunity to vote on it. Opponents of rule suspension said that suspending the rule would result in hundreds of amendments, not just the one dealing with undocumented/ illegal immigrants' tuition rates, being proposed to the budget and starting budget debate all over again. They noted that both Republican members of the conference committee signed off on including the tuition provision. The provision seems headed to become state law since Gov. Healey in the past has expressed support for alBHRC | SEE PAGE 19

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 11, 2023 OBITUARIES Margaret A. (Flanagan) Geraghty A lifelong resident of Malden, passed away Monday August7th, 2023. Margaret was born in Malden on January 27th, 1947, the youngest daughter of William Flanagan and Eleanor (Kierstead). She was predeceased by her parents, her sister Kathleen Curran and brothers Arthur, John and William Flanagan and survived by her sister Mary Duhy. She loved telling stories of family parties with Irish songs sung by her brothers and loved being part of a large family with many nieces and nephews whom she loved. Raised and educated in Malden, Meg was a proud graduate of Girls Catholic High School, where she held lifelong cherished friendships. She went on to study at Malden Hospital School of Nursing where she found her calling of becoming a nurse. Meg was a kind and generous soul and was always helping someone in need; she was a natural born caretaker. She led by example and showed kindness in her work and life every day. Working as a nurse was a great source of pride for her. But it was her role as loving mother to Kevin, Chris and Katie and grandmother that was Meg’s life’s joy. Though her road was not always easy, Meg persevered and lived for her family. Her grandchildren Matthew, Carrolynne, Molly, Evan and Jack were what kept her heart full and brought her joy. She was utterly devoted to her grandchildren, bragged about them daily and snuck them candy as often as she could. She was actively involved in every 12 YEARS PRISON SENTENCE FOR TAX CRIMES chased a Bentley and a Maserati as well. Cosmetic surgery was also one of the benefits of continuing in this tax fraud scheme. The guilty verdict was handed down on April 3, 2023. She was sentenced on July 11, 2023. The IRS stated that she also A fter a four-day federal court trial, a tax preparer was sentenced to 12 years in prison. The tax preparer created phony businesses that reported false operating losses. She also claimed fuel tax credits even though only .2% of all taxpayers qualify for such fuel credits. She also claimed state income tax deductions as an itemized deduction on Schedule A for taxpayer clients of hers that lived in Texas. Texas has no state income taxes. Apparently, she also fabricated medical expense deductions, charitable contribution deductions and deductions for unemployment reimbursements. The IRS Criminal Investigation division uncovered evidence that 98% of her tax clients received refunds. In reality, several of her tax clients owed as much as $25,000 in federal income taxes and yet paid nothing. This tax preparer supposedly was charging more for tax preparation fees than was customary in her area of tax practice. She encouraged clients to refer her business in order to perpetuate the continuing crimes. The IRS confirmed she purowed over $1.9million in federal income taxes. She only began to pay money towards the outstanding balance once she realized the IRS’ Criminal Investigation Division Special Agents were investigating her and only after the crimes were committed. As a tax preparer, she is required to not only file all of her tax returns, but she is also required to pay all of the taxes due to the federal government. The CI is the Criminal Investigation division of the IRS, responsible for conducting financial crime investigations, public corruption, healthcare fraud, identity theft and much more. CI agents are the only federal law enforcement agents with investigative jurisdiction over violations of the Internal Revenue Code, obtaining more than a 90% federal conviction rate. The agency has 20 field offices located across the U.S. and 12 attache’ posts abroad. With 87,000 new IRS agents on the horizon and with over $47billion being earmarked for enforcement, you are much more likely to see an increase in tax evasion convictions in the years to come.

She was an expert cake decorator, hard core Boston sports fan, avid reader, lover of Hallmark movies, and a self- proclaimed bingo nut.

Sal was born in Malden in 1951, the son of James and Alma Morando. He was raised and educated in Malden, graduating from Malden High School with the Class of 1969. He furthered his education by taking classes at Mass Bay Community College and Salem State College. Sal had a career in, as well as managed, printing and bookbinding for several decades, and later went on to pursue a career in healthcare. He worked at Malden Hospital first as a Financial Counselor, prior to moving into Medical Records management. He later worked at Lawrence Memorial Hospital as the Manager of Patient Registration. Sal worked at Hallmark Health for 30 years until his retirement. After “retiring”, he expanded his skills by working jobs that gave him joy; substitute teaching in the Malden Public Schools, ushering at the Schubert, eventually returning to work per diem for medical offices within the Hallmark/Tufts community.

ADDRESS 57 CUSHING RD CITY MALDEN DATE 07.18.23 PRICE 760999 ham, his grandchildren Anthony, Giovanna, Abigail, and Amelia, and great-grandfather to Anthony Jr. Sal will be fondly remembered by several nieces, nephews, and special friends. Sal was the type of man that even if you hadn’t talked in twenty years, he’d treat you like his closest friend. As a leader of tradition, he’d insist on participation in “mandatory family fun,” even in the strangest of circumstances. Annually, he and his family would exchange gratitudes over a box of Bell’s Seasoning. He and Beverly would spend time together watching movies; they had many for each season, especially Hallmark holiday movies at Christmas or “On Golden Pond” to close out the summer. This too, was passed down to his daughters, who made these nights even more special by turning them into theme nights. At Halloween, he and his grandchildren would scour Halloween stores for the perfect new addition to our “House of Horrors”. Most of all, he and the people that he met along the way created the type of memories that would have an everlasting impact. To know Sal was to love him, and love him we did. If you know Sal, you know a tight hug, a hot cup of coffee, an Italian feast, a stained white t-shirt (v-neck, of course), an open door, and invaluable love. Our hearts break in the midst of the chaos, the world turns upside down, and nothing feels normal. The only constant is the feeling that Sal’s love is ever-present. If love had a name, it would be Salvatore. Sal’s passing is a tremendous loss to so many, but the way that this man loved openly and proudly, will be forever cherished by all. His spirit is a permanent part of everyone that has ever crossed his path, and we now live in his light. A service to celebrate Sal’s life will be held at the Weir-MacCuish Funeral Home, 144 Salem St Malden on Saturday, August 12 at 10:00 AM. Visitation will be held at the funeral home on Friday, August 11, from 4 – 8 PM.

BHRC | FROM PAGE 17 lowing these immigrants to pay the lower rate. In May, she said that offering in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants is "absolutely essential and a no-brainer.” Rep. Sarah Peake (D-Provincetown), the chief supporter of the provision during House floor debate and Rep. Paul Frost (R-Auburn), the chief opponent, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them to comment on the provision and on the motion to suspend rules. (A “Yes” vote is for rule suspension. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato No Rep. Steven Ultrino No ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL $375 MILLION FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES (S 2375) - Gov. Healey 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 $375 million package, a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds, also includes $175 million for several transportation-related grant programs. The programs funded by the $175 million include the municipal small bridge program; the complete streets program; a bus transit infrastructure program; and grants for municipalities to purchase electric vehicles and the infrastructure needed to support them. “This Chapter 90 bill will deliver funds straight to municipalities to support projects that we know are critical to their economic development, including bridge and road maintenance, public transit, electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, and pedestrian, cyclist and car safety,” said Gov. Healey. “As a former mayor, I know firsthand how much cities and towns rely on Chapter 90 funding to ensure that residents and visitors can get around safely and to spur economic activity,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. HEARINGS – The Judiciary Committee held a hearing on several proposals including: PRISON LABOR (H 1400) – Would prohibit any prisoner from being transferred to other states and being required to work on labor projects in that state. The measure was first filed in 2017 when former Bristol County Sheriff Tom Hodgson was planning to transport Bristol County prisoners across state lines to the nation’s southern border to help build former President Trump’s proposed border wall. “I simply believe it is in the best interests of Massachusetts residents, both morally and financially, for our criminal justice system and our county correctional facilities to be focused on the successful rehabilitation of inmates within their community,” said sponsor Rep. Tony Cabral (D-New Bedford). “To the extent prison work programs have value, the return from those programs should be recouped in our local communities, right here in the commonwealth and not on chain gangs in Texas.” NO/LIMITED SOLITARY CONFINEMENT (H 1740) – Would prohibit prisoners under 21 years old from being held in solitary confinement. “Research has shown a link between solitary confinement and mental disorders, as well as increased rates of suicide,” said sponsor Rep. Dave Rogers (D-Cambridge). “Young people are especially vulnerable to these negative effects, due to the developing state of their minds. [The bill] offers a reasonable solution which will protect incarcerated youth, ultimately strengthening their ability to rehabilitate.” DEDICATE 1 PERCENT OF MARIJUANA EXCISE TAX TO YOUTH SUBTHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 11, 2023 “This is really an opportunity for us Page 19 STANCE USE PREVENTION (H 103) – Would require that 1 percent of the excise tax on recreational marijuana be used for youth substance abuse prevention. “There are many compelling statistics that suggest recreational drug use among younger people can lead to greater risk of substance use later in life,” said sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers (D-Quincy). "Utilizing this revenue would help create programs and awareness among young people to ensure we are doing our part to prevent them from becoming addicted to harmful substances.” GUILTY BUT WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS (S 981) – Would create a new court verdict of “guilty but with a mental illness” that would carry the same sentence as provided by law for a defendant found guilty of the same crime, except they would serve the sentence at a mental health facility instead of a prison. The measure also provides that if the defendant is a male and the court determines that strict security is required, he would be housed at Bridgewater State Hospital. “This legislation aims to address the use of prisons as wholly inadequate facilities to treat mental illness,” said sponsor Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington). “In Massachusetts, defendants often fail to receive the mental health treatment they need which often contributes to committing a crime and winding up in our criminal justice system. For far too many years, we have relied on prisons to treat mental illness when they cannot, all while we have therapeutic, safe and secure facilities dedicated to this treatment that can be used instead.” ALLOW BUSINESSES TO OPT INTO "DO NOT CALL" LIST(S 202) - Would restrict telemarketing companies doing business in the state by allowing businesses to sign up for a "Do Not Call" list and fining companies up to $5,000 if they call a business on the list. Current law only allows individual consumers to sign up for the list. Under the bill, all current laws that now apply to individuals would also apply to businesses including allowing an individual on the list to sue a company for up to $5,000 if the company violates the law and calls the individual more than once a year; preventing companies from blocking their number from appearing on any business' Caller ID; prohibiting companies from using recorded message devices to make these calls; and restricting these calls to between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Sponsor Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) said he filed this bill to allow businesses to protect themselves from spam calls. “These harassing calls can clog up phone lines and waste time, which can be particularly harmful to the operation and revenue of thousands of small businesses across the commonwealth,” said O’Connor. REGULATE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES (H 1974) - Would create new safeguards and patient protections governing the use of AI in mental health services. “With the rise of telehealth and other technology changes in the delivery of behavioral health care, the prospect of generative AI use in therapy settings is no longer just the stuff of science-fiction novels,” said sponsor Rep. Josh Cutler (D-Duxbury). “We need to ensure that the rights of patients are always protected and that any AI use is fully disclosed and transparent. This bill would create those important safeguards and ensure we stay ahead of the curve.” QUOTABLE QUOTES - The NAACP held its national convention in Boston last week for the first time since 1982. Here’s what some of the participants said: here in Boston to reintroduce ourselves to Black America. We know the perception, the reputation we have as one of America’s most racist cities. This moment gives us the opportunity to reframe that.” ---NAACP Boston Branch President Tanisha Sullivan. "We aren't at the promised land by any means. But nowhere else in America is, either. But we aren't what we were.” ---Former Gov. Deval Patrick. “What I know about the leaders who are here is that the members of the NAACP are up to the challenge to fight for these hard-won rights and freedoms.And we know every day we must be vigilant in protecting that which we have achieved and keeping our eyes on our vision — our collective vision of how we can continue to strengthen our nation.” ---Vice-President Kamala Harris. “If you want policymakers who align with, say, your lived experience, who share your values, who operate with a sense of integrity and intentionality to get things done, they don’t get there by accident.They’re placed there by people who vote.And so I’m going to keep stressing that as a theme that keeps coming up.” ---Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell. "They continue to wage a war on education, health care, and opportunity to create new ways to criminalize our brothers and sisters and we have all felt the impact and bitter sting of this bigotry and bias. But today and every day after, the NAACP will not back down. --- Leon Russell, NAACP National Board of Directors Chairman. 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 31-August 4, the House met for a total of ten hours and 56 minutes while the Senate met for a total of ten hours and 20 minutes. Mon.

Page 20 avy n v y y avvyavvy S oravvy S ioreniioor io iori by Jim Miller How to Plan a Green Funeral Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about green funeral options? At age 80, I would like to preplan my funeral and make it as natural as possible. Old Environmentalist Dear Environmentalist, Great question! Green funeral options are becoming increasingly popular in the United States as more and more Americans are looking for environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional funerals. Here’s what you should know about “green burial” and “green cremation” options, along with some tips to help you locate services in your area. Green Burial If you wish to be buried, a green/natural burial will minimize the environmental impact by forgoing the embalming chemicals (which is not required by law), traditional casket and concrete vault. Instead, you’ll be buried in either a biodegradable container or shroud with no vault, and you won’t be embalmed. This allows the body to decompose naturally and become part of the earth. If you want to temporarily preserve the body for viewing or a memorial service, instead of embalming, you can request dry ice or Techni ice, a refrigeration unit, or a nontoxic embalming agent. You’ll also be happy to know that green burials are much cheaper than traditional funerals, which average around $8,000 in 2023. By scrapping the coffi n, vault and embalming, which are expensive, you’ll save yourself several thousand dollars on your funeral costs. To fi nd green burial services in your area, a good fi rst step is to see if there’s a certifi ed green funeral home in your area and contact them. The Green Burial Council off ers an online directory of providers and other resources at GreenBurialCouncil.org. If there isn’t one nearby, your next step is to contact several traditional funeral homes to see if they off er green funeral service options – many do. You’ll also need to fi nd a green cemetery. There are nearly 100 green cemeteries throughout the U.S., along with more than 300 traditional (hybrid) cemeteries that off er green burials too. To fi nd them, the New Hampshire Funeral Resources, Education and Advocacy website has a list at NHfuneral.org. Or, if you own rural property, you may be able to have a home burial there, if your state and county allow it. If, however, there are no green cemeteries nearby you can still make your burial more environmentally friendly by not being embalmed. And, if the cemetery allows, using a biodegradable casket or shroud and skipping the vault. If a vault is required, ask to have holes drilled in the bottom, or use a concrete grave box with an open bottom so the body can return to the earth. Green Cremation If you would rather be cremated, you have some green choices here too. While cremation has always been touted as being more eco-friendly than a typical burial, a traditional cremation, which uses high heat to incinerate the body, does emit greenhouse gases into the air. A green cremation, however, uses water and potassium hydroxide to reduce a deceased body to its basic element of bone ash within a few hours. This green technique, which is known as alkaline hydrolysis, is a little more expensive than traditional cremation but, unfortunately, it’s not legal in every state. Contact some local funeral providers to fi nd out if this is available in your area, or Google “alkaline hydrolysis cremation” followed by your city and state. Another green consideration is deciding what to do with the remains.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 11, 2023 MUSINGS | FROM PAGE 3 • Best song by a Maldonian of Irish descent: ‘I’ve Got The Rock And Rolls Again’ by Charlie Farren of the Joe Perry Project. • Best song by a Maldonian of Italian descent: “Hole Hearted” by Gary Cherone of Extreme. • Best song by Maldonians who grew up on Presley Street and were wicked good in hockey: “I Finally Found Her” by Boys Life’s John & David Surette. • Best song by a Maldonian that practically nobody has ever heard of written by a Cherone not named Gary: “Almighty Man” by Mark Cherone of the band Flesh. • Best guitar work by a Maldonian named Levine not related to me: Duke Levine of Peter Wolf’s (solo) band: “Nothing but the Wheel” from the record “Sleepless.” • Best song by a Maldonian in the fi rst (ever) interracial hiphop crew out of Malden: “Push It Past Red” by Jawn Preziosa of Top Choice Clique. • Best and sweetest tenor sax sound from a Maldonian working with a living legend: Marc “Son of Paul” Phaneuf on “The Lady Is a Tramp” – duet between Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett (“Duets II”). • Best and sweetest tenor sax sound from a (honorary) Maldonian working with a (deceased) legend: Neal Sugarman on “Rehab” from Amy Winehouse’s second release, “Back to Black.” • Best vocals by a Maldonian of Jewish descent who grew up in Suff olk Square: Ed Ames’ 1967 version of the Mike Rashkow/ Johnny Cymbal tune “Mary in the Morning.” • Best jazz riff on a Hammond organ by a Maldonian of Italian descent: Joe Bucci of the Joe Bucci Trio – “Patricia” from the Capitol Records release “Organs in Orbit.” • Best hardcore punk performance by a drummer from Malden: Mark McKay of Slapshot on “Step On It” from their debut 24-track album, “Step On It.” • Best guitar version of “Wichita Lineman” by an extraordinary guitarist born at Malden Hospital but not really a Maldonian – John Antonopoulos aka “Johnny A”: off the album “Sometime Tuesday Morning.” It is said in “Malden Musings”... • Former Chief of Police Kevin Molis brought to my attention the chandeliers that now hang in Faces Brewing Company at 50 Pleasant St. – a fi ne addition to a wonderful newcomer in Malden Square. Great beer, great food, great entertainment all under the same roof! Located in an historically important building, one of the few remaining in Malden (ask Barbara Tolstrup if you don’t believe me)! Google Frank Converse Malden, Mass., if you do not know the signifi cance of this location. • Travelling down Salem Street behind a JRM/Republic stink bucket on a hot and humid summer day is one of life’s more pleasant experiences...said no one! • Remembering Karen Anderson...Scott Lucey: “Karen had an amazing intellect, a brilliant and sharp wit, and unmatched institutional memory of Malden history and happenings. Like many others, I will miss her dearly.” • When I ran my Ferryway Green “If this tree could talk...” column a few weeks back, it struck a nerve with many Maldonians, for varied reasons, some personal, some nostalgic. This one particular comment came via Facebook from Lisa Sims Mclean and is as poignant and as heartfelt as I have ever read. I sincerely hope life has been good to you, Lisa. “If this tree could talk...It would tell you of my leaning against it telling it all my woes and concerns.” • Breaking news...on August 14, Massachusetts #1 and Massachusetts General Hospital #1 OBITUARIES Sandy L. (Pope) Moss A longtime resident of Malden, passed away on Saturday, August 5th in Melrose. Sandra was born in 1942, the daughter of Lester and Alma Pope. She was raised in Malden and attended the Pentucket Regional High School in Newburyport, graduating with the class of 1960. She went on to work at McFadden Manor in Malden, fi rst as a housekeeper before becoming a Nurse’s Aide until her retirement in 2008. In 1972 Sandy married her sweetheart, Donald T. Moss, and the two settled down in Malden to raise their family. They shared 43 years of marriage together until Donald’s passing in 2015. In her spare time Sandra enjoyed animals and reading. Sandy is Survived by her children Cherie Boncore of Tewksbury, Wendy Cardosi of Malden, Daniel T. Moss of Everett, her grandchildren Joseph, Isabella, Michelle, Kristen and Mark, and her great grandchildren Marcel and Elias. She was predeceased by her husband Donald T. Moss and her son Donald T. Moss Jr. Funeral from the Weir-MacCuish Golden Rule Funeral Home, Malden, on Thursday August 10th followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Joseph’s Church in Malden. Interment followed in Puritan Lawn Memorial Park Peabody. Visitation was held at the funeral home on Wednesday Aug 9t. In lieu of fl owers please consider making a donation in Sandra’s name to the MSPCA. Physical Therapist, Tricia Larson, turns the Big 6 0. No signs of slowing down; she loves her patients too much to retire. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – one more time with feeling…Merle Haggard once sang “are the good times really over?” Hell no, they ain’t! Reason being that not only will this year’s San Rock Festa feature topnotch music, but it will also bring back one of the funniest people in the funny people business – the guy who if he were a pitcher and he was walking to the mound and “Eck” was announcing the game he would say “entering the game is that guy that never half steps and never has mediocre cheese!” This guy is always on! Yes, David “I’m not that kind of Indian” Russo will bring his Boston scally cap, distinct Malden swagger and immense comedic talent to Pearl Street once again. Dave is one funny hombre as most of you already are aware of. Dave knows Malden and knows the Edgeworth neighborhood. His good-natured ribbing of local “characters” and his self-deprecating humor will have you saying to your friends “Lenny who?!” So, no – the good times are defi nitely not over, especially if you spend some time on Pearl Street this weekend!! Postscript: Maldonians, this may be the best Saint Rocco Feast weekend, ever! Do not miss out on the fun! Friday, August 11, Beatlejuice performs; on Saturday the 12th, WildFire, and on Sunday the 13th big band sounds with Steve Savio and Seabreeze from 2 to 5, and Billy Joel tribute act Heart Attack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack closing out the weekend from 6-9. —Peter is a longtime Malden resident and a regular contributor to The Malden Advocate.
