THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 12, 2022 Page 3 TB12 Foundation graduates two classes of student athletes in Malden and Brockton with surprise virtual appearance by Tom Brady and Alex Guerrero F OXBORO, MA, June 7, 2022 – The TB12 Foundation, a nonprofi t organization dedicated to maximizing the health, well-being and athletic potential of underserved athletes, graduated two classes of student-athletes in its TB12 Training Program in partnership with the Brockton and Malden High Schools. Students in both cities were surprised with a special drop-in virtual chat featuring TB12 Cofounders Tom Brady and Alex Guerrero. Tom joined the TB12 Foundation’s virtual meet & greet with a group of juniors and seniors from both the Malden and Brockton High Schools and congratulated them on their completion of the TB12 Program. “On behalf of the TB12 Foundation, we are extremely proud of all your hard work and the commitment you’ve made to yourselves,” said Tom Brady. “You have put in the work every week with our amazing body coaches, and we hope you’ll continue to practice what you’ve learned, stay disciplined and accountable and continue to make the best decisions for your training as you move forward in life.” Malden and Brockton students are shown enjoying a Zoom meeting with former Pats’ quarterback Tom Brady. During the 2020-2021 school year, the TB12 Foundation partnered with Brockton Public Schools to establish a TB12 Training Program for 17 aspiring high school athletes. Recognizing the continuing need to support young and underserved athletic talent, the TB12 Foundation expanded its programming this academic year and partnered with both the Brockton and Malden High Schools to train a total of 24 students. In addition to the students receiving a full TB12 training experience, the Brockton and Malden High School coaches received an in-school training session from TB12 body coaches and a donation of TB12 equipment. At Brockton High School, Body Coach Nick Zinani visited three times a week during the winter and spring seasons for a strength and conditioning program with other students from various sports teams. “In 2020 we sought new ways to lift up the youth in our local MALDEN DEMOCRATS TO HOST BARBECUE AUGUST 25 AT ANTHONY’S M alden, MA, August 9, 2022 – The Malden Democratic City Committee cordially invites friends and neighbors from Malden and around the region to attend this year’s Malden Democrats Summer Barbecue at Anthony’s of Malden’s outdoor space on Thursday, August 25 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.

Fueled by blind ambitions and campaign financing, the ego-driven aspirants will take to stage and media outlets with speeches of grandeur and bombast. They will employ catchphrases, such as “gaslighting,” “revolving door;” “push back the curtain” and references to “cool-aid” and “rabbit holes.” Also egregious names association to: Marx, Trotsky, Axis Sally, Rita Zucca, Chou En-Lai and Pol Pot. You will hear strange sounding words, sometimes very diffi - cult to pronounce or understand unless you are attuned to political jargon, words such as Autocrat, Bureaucrat, Populist, Hawk, Dove, Fascist, Nationalist and last yet not least, the word “Gerrymander.” A term that is associated with the intent and purpose of destroying the foundation of a democracy that we all embrace regardless of party affiliation. A word that future generations will refer to as political profanity. The origin of the term “gerrymander” can be traced back to 1812, when the governor of Massachusetts – named Eldridge Gerry – devised a plan to manipulate congressional districts geographically, in order to send more members of his party to the US House of Representatives, in an attempt to become the majority. The device has geopolitical complexities. However, rather than dwell on intricate machinations, the simplifi cation of the process is in order. Each State has congressional districts according to the population, each district has an elected representative, the more districts, the more reps. Legislative maps are drawn after each 10-year census. Expanding or shrinking the boundaries, by the party in power is the key factor. Governor Gerry distorted one district on the map that resembled a salamander, hence the term “Gerrymander.” Redrawn districts can be reconstructed by “splitting” or “packing” the constituents, usually aff ecting minorities, rendering their vote ineff ective, mute or “wasted.” This practice if left unabated will soon allow our beloved democracy to devolve into a Third World Autocracy, ripe for insurrection, led by a “Willie Stark” or “Elmer Gantry” type. Several lawsuits were presented to challenge the ploy, and one, in particular, reached the Supreme Court in the form of a suit tilted “Rucho vs Common Cause.” In one of the most controversial decisions made in the history of the Supreme Court, including “Dred Scott” and “Citizens United,” the court ruled 5 to 4 that federal judges cannot block “Gerrymandering.” This decision in eff ect allowed each state legislature the path toward the loss of credibility. The fl oodgates of partisan polarization were opened, and the tentacles of political discourse found democracy to be an easy prey. Complaint without remedy is counterproductive, and a solution may be possible by assigning an independent commission to draw legislative maps. Supreme Court Justices are only human and at times those long black robes they wear allegedly become porous from long use and have lost their “Solomon” perceived wisdom. In summation, when the time arrives, be sure to rise up off that couch and get out to vote. However, be careful when you fi ll in that oval; that darkened sphere may result in dire consequences if you had listened to those who will sow seeds of division. Be cognizant of some that advocate Nationalism garnished with the foul rhetoric of Jingoism. Be aware of the Oligarchs who spread “Dark Money” around under the cover of anonymity. Sever ties with those who march to the beat of a diff erent drummer. They chant slogans of discord, division and insurrection that are out of tune with mainstream America. When that kind of political carnage is allowed to fl ourish, then a Democracy is Under Siege.

The City will use $85K to install two new fl ashing school zone signs at the Beebe School and fi ve new fl ashing school zone signs at the Ferryway School. The existing signs at these schools are in poor condition compared to those at Malden’s four other K-8 public schools. These devices are important toward reducing vehicle speeds, increasing the visibility of students and reducing the risk of pedestrian crashes. Replacing the existing school zone flashing signs with up-to-date equipment will not only help calm traffi c where students travel the most, but it will address a gap in Malden’s school safety infrastructure. The new equipment will alert drivers of the school zone 20 mph speed limit with fl ashing lights and show their speed when entering the school zones. “Student safety is a priority for our community,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “This award and the fl ashing school zone signs we will be able to purchase with it will help protect young people and make the roads safer for some of our most vulnerable users.

As some may have noticed, I no longer write for the Malden Observer. “Malden Musings” was unceremoniously put out to pasture in mid-June. The sad news came via email by a very nice person named Katie. She expressed her regret at having to be the bearer of bad news. She also mentioned how they were going through a transition at WickedLocal.com – making changes to the stories they are putting in the paper and on their website. As part of the change, they would no age was (less than) adequate at best.

The death knell of print media continues I thought to myself. Such is life. September 2022 would have marked 15 years of “Malden Musings.” The column began with gentlemen like Bill Mini, Don Squires and John O’Brien in mind. I was a fanboy of those three local print media icons when they were writing for the various papers way back when. I loved and respected their knowledge, wisdom and passion. I felt that local points of interest, for those who grew up in Malden or who have recently made Malden their home, weren’t being served. I thought that the local covermedia from my late father, Jerry Levine. He was an avid newspaper reader, from the respected (Boston Globe, NY Times), to gossipy tabloids (NY Post), to the center/right (Boston Herald). A self-taught man, he would also devour magazines, such as Newsweek, Life, Playboy (for the articles of course) and Time. He consumed it all and sorted the truth out all by himself – what most people did prior to the 24-hour news/opinion brainwashing cycle beginning. I got the bug fi rst by reading the sports page, eventually progressing to the op-ed pages. His education, as well as mine, was greatly enhanced by our love of print media. I have no formal training besides writing a “newsletter” back in the 8th grade at Beebe Jr. High School called “The 8-7 Times,” the “8” standing for the 8th grade and the “7” standing for those students who were not trying very hard in their scholastic pursuits.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 12, 2022 Page 7 MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6 letter consisted of 8th grade gossip with some afterschool extracurricular shenanigans thrown in. I would write it up, xerox a bunch of copies, then hand them out to classmates. One day a copy landed on the desk of my 8th grade English teacher, Mrs. Bothwell, whereas she politely asked me to stick around after class, to “talk to me.” That dear lady told me how much she enjoyed reading my xeroxed offering. She also said that if I applied myself, I had some “real potential” in journalism. I was fl attered. I tucked that conversation into my memory bank, never forgot it and continued my scholastic downward spiral. I have good naturedly been called a hack by many of my friends (I think it has been good naturedly), but I hope that my passion for Malden and the love I have for the many friends that I have made over the years translates into these columns. I started “Malden Musings” in 2007. Marty Gately was the very fi rst person to compliment the column. His urging to write more of them was the impetus for me to continue. Thank you for that, Marty, I have really appreciated your feedback over the years. Then editor Nathan Lamb liked my column. I was very fl attered at the time. It meant a great deal to me. I said to myself, “If Marty and Nathan like it, I must be doing something right!” Insert smiley face. I’d also like to convey my heartfelt appreciation to all the wonderful people who I’ve interacted with at the Observer, from editors I knew as fl esh and blood human beings, like Nathan (Lamb), to Wendall (Waters), to Amanda (Mantone-Linehan), to Jane (Enos), to the many more who were just an E-message that popped into my Inbox from time to time. Thank you. Again, I want to publicly thank the many others who have told me over the years they enjoyed the column. I am truly humbled by your kind words. I sincerely appreciate it. There have been a few missteps along the way, but I’ve learned from each one. I hope my columns haven’t offended anybody. That was never my intention for “Malden Musings.” If I have, please accept my apologies. Once again, I realize that my columns continue to be “Edgeworthcentric,” that I may dwell on Ward 2 a bit much. They say home is where the heart is. So, bear with me, I’ll get to the rest of Malden...eventually. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character “Columbo” would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – for those Boston Globe readers out there, my version of “50 Words” – 1962 Galleria Umberto: “1962. The walk from Carney Court in Charlestown to Parmenter St. in the North End is a short one. Moms taking the three of us to Galleria Umberto for square slices of pizza before square slices had a name. Before Ralph, Paul and their mom opened up on Hanover Street.” Living in Charlestown at the time as youngsters my mom would take her three boys into the North End to shop and eat. Our go-to place was Galleria Umberto – then located on Parmenter Street – for Sicilian slices before they were called Sicilian slices. Galleria moved to Hanover Street, I believe, in 1965. My mother, Dorothy Drago, was a second-generation Italian from the North End of Boston. My father Solomon, aka Jerry, a second-generation Jew from the West End of Boston. We originally lived on North Russell Street in the West End – bulldozed out and sent into exile by Rappaport and his gang around 1960 at the beginning of the West End diaspora. With all due respect, Carney Court in Charlestown (at the time) wasn’t very conducive to raising a family of three rambunctious boys. My father drove a truck for Agar Supply on Clinton Street in Boston (who remembers the big blue trucks with the pig on the side?). Karl Bressler opened the doors at Agar Supply in 1940. At the time, Agar barely had enough heavy trucks/vans to fulfi ll their obligations delivering meat and poultry to restaurants in Chinatown and suburban supermarkets. Mr. Bressler was old school – a smart businessman with a heart of gold. My parents were looking for a permanent (aka safe) place to raise their ever-expanding brood. Malden made an impression. It took a mitzvah from Mr. Bressler, but the Levines fi - nally found a home. In 1963 we landed in Malden, which is where the Levine family resides to this day.

Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 12, 2022 Middlesex Sheriff’s Office celebrates the fourth Youth Public Safety Academy graduation of 2022 Cadets from Middlesex County communities graduated on Aug. 5 C HELMSFORD, Mass. – Middlesex County Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian congratulated approximately 75 graduates of the fourth and final session of 2022 of the Youth Public Safety Academy (YPSA) during a ceremony at Chelmsford High School on Friday, August 5. The cadets were primarily from the communities of Acton, Chelmsford, Everett, Malden, Maynard, Newton and Waltham. YPSA was first established by the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office in 1999, and it focuses on sharing important public safety lessons on issues like internet safety, fire preparedness and prevention, water safety skills and more. The academy is open to youngsters ages eight to 12 from across Middlesex County, as well as older cadets who may participate through the YPSA’s Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program. “After two years of remote programming, we are proud to welcome cadets, their families and our community partners back to YPSA,” said Sheriff Koutoujian. “Throughout its history, YPSA has provided valuable opportunities for the county’s youngest residents to get to know some of the corrections officers, police officers and firefighters who serve their communities on a daily basis. It also teaches cadets crucial lessons about teambuilding, friendship and public safety that they take back to their homes, schools and communities. That is why I truly believe this is one of the best, most comprehensive camps around and why we are so excited to be back this summer.” To learn more about YPSA and some of the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office other community-based programming, visit middlesexsheriff.org/community.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 12, 2022 Page 9 Sen. Lewis applauds passage of bills to advance animal welfare I n July, State Senator Jason Lewis joined his colleagues in the Massachusetts Senate to pass two bills that promote and advance animal welfare in the Commonwealth. Senator Lewis has long been a champion for preventing animal cruelty, including the successful passage of protections for farm animals against cruel confi nement systems. On July 11 the Senate passed S.2992, An Act protecting research animals – commonly known as the Beagle Bill – which encourages research facilities that use dogs and cats to off er these animals up for adoption after fi nishing research, rather than automatically euthanizing them. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, nationally more than 60,000 dogs, almost all beagles and nearly 20,000 cats are used each year to advance scientifi c research and to test cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other household products. Currently, many research labs choose to automatically euthanize these animals once their experiments are over. This legislation facilitates a relationship between animal research laboratories and registered nonprofit animal rescue organizations and requires that when these animals are no longer needed, the research facilities make every eff ort to place animals up for public adoption. On July 11 the Senate also passed S.2994, An Act protecting the health and safety of puppies and kittens in cities and towns, which ensures the safety of puppies and kittens during breeding, sale and boarding. As separating puppies and kittens from their mother and litter prior to completion of their eight-week developmental socialization stage prevents them from learning important behaviors, such as bite inhibition and the development of proper social relations with other members of their species, this bill prohibits the sale of puppies and kittens under eight weeks of age. To promote the Hearts, Hugs & Hope: An Alzheimer’s Support Group at Forestdale Park Senior Living August 25, 2022, 5:00 pm, at Forestdale Park Assisted Living and Memory Care Community, 341 Forest Street, Malden. Our support group is now meeting in person at Forestdale Park! Dealing with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia isn't easy, so it is helpful to share your concerns and personal experiences with others who completely understand what you're going through.

Forestdale Park Senior Living is a project of the nonprofi t Volunteers of America Massachusetts, which has supported local seniors with specialized services for over 75 years. continued well-being of puppies and kittens in group settings, this legislation tasks the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources with creating Massachusetts’s fi rst state-wide oversight regulations and licensure requirements for breeders, doggie daycare, and boarding facilities. The bill also ends the sale of animals on roadsides, parking lots, fl ea markets or in other public spaces. “As an animal welfare advocate and pet owner, I was very pleased to support the passage in the Senate of these two important bills,” said Senator Lewis. “They will build on progress already made to ensure the humane treatment, health, and safety of animals in Massachusetts.” An Act protecting research animals has passed both branches of the legislature and been signed into law by Governor Charlie Baker. The House referred An Act protecting the health and safety of puppies and kittens in cities and towns to its Committee on Ways and Means for further consideration.

At last night’s final session, students in both locations competed in an obstacle course created by the body coaches, who also participated. Both groups finished the night with a catered dinner and watched a video highlighting their accomplishments and shared the impact TB12 has had on their lives over the past 10 months before the surprise virtual visit from Tom and Alex. One of this year’s graduating students said, “I changed for the better as both an athlete and as a person to understand the work and care I must do to perform at my best all the time. It has helped me understand health and wellness from a different perspective by being a part of TB12.” TB12 has not only improved the students’ athletic abilities but has created adept leaders who will use what they have learned to educate their families and peers. The TB12 Foundation expects to expand this program in other cities as additional TB12 Centers open across the country. About the TB12 Foundation Founded in 2015 by seven-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady, the TB12 Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to maximizing the health, well-being and athletic potential of underserved athletes by providing free access to health and wellness resources that support preparation, performance and recovery – empowering people who are at risk due to economic or health-related obstacles to reach their performance and life goals. Through the Foundation’s services, they aim to educate and help athletes improve longevity, prevent injury and stay on the field, court, track or course doing what they love, better and for longer. The TB12 Foundation accepts scholarship applications from student athletes, tactical athletes and individuals who have experienced a tragic event who are seeking financial support for high-quality post-injury recovery. To date, the Foundation has donated more than $1.8M to athletes and organizations in need of support. For more information about the TB12 Foundation, please visit www.tb12foundation.com.

The Governor’s bill signing finalizes what has been a three-yearlong push to legalize sports betting in Massachusetts and bring the state into line with many of its neighbors. Sports betting is already legal in more than 30 states, including four states that border Massachusetts: Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut and New York. Under the bill signed into law by the Governor on Wednesday, anyone at least 21 years old will be able to place a wager in Massachusetts, with a 15% tax on in-person wagers and a 20% tax on mobile bets. Governor Baker took a historical tack when describing the story around signing the new bill. “Our administration first filed legislation to legalize sports wagering in the Commonwealth several years ago, and I am glad to be able to sign this bill into law today,” Governor Our 50th Anniversary Dan 1972 R.Y.O.

(Courtesy Photo) Baker said in a statement. “We appreciate the dedication and compromise that the Legislature demonstrated on this issue, and we look forward to supporting the work of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission on the responsible implementation of the law over the next several months,” Governor Baker added. While there will be excitement in the Greater Boston area and beyond for the introduction of legal sports betting, state officials advised that “this isn’t something that is going to happen overnight,” or even in time for the fall NFL and college football seasons – two of the most heavily wagered seasons of the year, according to experts. According to reports, it may take until 2023 before people can place bets within the state on Boston and other sports teams. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) must now solidify regulations for the newly legal state industry and process licensing applications. Mass. Gaming Commissioner Brad Hill said regulators want to “take our time” with implementing the new law. “I want the public to understand, as we as commissioners are starting to understand, that this isn’t something that’s going to happen overnight,” Commissioner Hill said Wednesday night in a statement released by the Commission. In an online report, Hill said, “I just want the public to be clear, at least from my view – I’m not speaking for the whole commission – but from my point of view, this is going to take a little longer than people probably anticipate. And I’m OK with that.” One of the most anticipated related moves would be the introduction of a “sports book” site at Encore Boston Harbor in Everett, which already has a space in place at the casino inside its new sports bar, named WynnBET, which features 60plus television screens for all the big games. Mass. House Speaker Ronald Mariano said in an online report that it would be “disappointing” if implementation takes too long. “You’ve got two hotels that are ready to open the doors as quickly as you can,” he said. “I know Encore has built a room, and I know MGM is depending on this to increase their bottom line. So, I hope we can get it up and running … at least in time for fall football.” The new sports wagering law Baker approved sets a 15% tax rate on in-person sports betting and 20% for mobile or digital wagering. It also allows for some collegiate sports betting, though residents cannot bet on Massachusetts colleges and universities “unless they are involved in a collegiate tournament,” according to the bill. March Madness, for example, is fair game for betting on Massachusetts schools. The bill outlines three licensing categories: in-person wagering at casinos with some digital and mobile application options, in-person wagering at live or simulcast horse racing facilities, and fully mobile or digital wagering. Lawmakers incorporated what they said were myriad consumer protections into their bill, like not allowing people to use credit cards to place bets. Licensed mobile applications and digital platforms must also “prominently display” information for a problem gambling hotline, which will be overseen by the state Department of Public Health. It is estimated that Massachusetts could reap from $6065 million annually in new tax revenue. Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 12, 2022 avvya yavvy eniiooravvy S iorn or vvy io iori by Jim Miller How to Choose a 55-Plus Active Adult Community Dear Savvy Senior, What tips can you recommend for choosing a good active adult housing community? My husband and I, who recently retired, are planning to relocate to an area closer to our grandkids and are interested in buying a house in an age-restricted 55-plus housing community. Active Retirees Dear Active, If you’re contemplating moving into an age-restricted community, fi nding one that’s right for you takes some legwork. While active adult communities generally off er the opportunity for a lower-maintenance lifestyle around similar aged people, they vary enormously. Here’s what you should know. Today’s active adult communities come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges, ranging from small city-based apartment complexes, to single-family homes, to sprawling resort-style locations situated on a gated golf course. Most are owned by their occupants, but a growing number are rentals. Typically, at least one occupant of each property must be at least 55. It’s also important to understand that 55-plus active adult communities are not the same as retirement or independent living communities, which are primarily designed for older seniors in their 70s and 80s. Active adult communities do not typically include meals or have a central dining area, but many of them do off er a range of recreational amenities and activities. To help you locate and research active adult communities in the areas you’re interested in, the best resource is 55places.com. This is a comprehensive website that provides ratings, reviews and information on activities and amenities for thousands of communities across the country. Once you fi nd a few you like, here are some questions to ask yourself that can help you choose: What’s our budget? To help you choose the right active adult community you’ll fi rst need to determine what you can aff ord. Consider the home’s purchase price, whether you’ll need a mortgage, how much the property taxes and insurance are, and how much the homeowners’ association or community fees are. These fees, which typically run a few hundred dollars per month, go toward lawn care and possibly snow removal, as well as community areas like a clubhouse or pool. However, some communities may require additional memberships or fees for golf, tennis, classes, or other activities. You also need to consider the area’s cost of living for other things like food, utilities, transportation, health care and taxes. Numbeo. com and BestPlaces.net off er tools to compare the cost from your current location to where you would like to move. And Kiplinger’s has a tax guide for retirees at Kiplinger.com/links/retireetaxmap that lets you fi nd and compare taxes state-by-state. How active is the community? Some communities provide fi tness facilities, swimming pools, tennis courts and more, along with dozens of organized activities, classes and social events. Other communities are much simpler and more laid back with very limited amenities and structured activities. You’ll want to choose a community that has the types of people, facilities, activities and vibe that appeals to you. Will we like the surrounding area? Will the area around your prospective community serve your needs now and in the future? Ideally, this means having easy access to good doctors and hospitals, and a local airport if you plan to travel much. You’ll also want to research how far you’ll be from essential services like grocery stores, banks and pharmacies, as well as dining, shopping, and recreational attractions. Schedule a Visit Once you’ve narrowed your choices, call to make an appointment and visit them. Be sure to allow plenty of time at each community and, if possible, go back to your favorites more than once. Also be sure to ask questions while you are visiting, particularly about the community rules. Some developments will let you stay overnight in a model home for a few nights to get a feel of what it would be like to live there. While you are there, try the amenities and activities, and speak with as many residents as you can. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
