I also have no time for the lies and subterfuge of Malden’s longtime politicians. Unfortunately, lies and propaganda are all some politicians have to stand on because the rest is a cheap facade. In politics, the basics for success are to be truthful, work hard, and at least try to not intentionally break the law. It's a pretty simple recipe for success.

For me it was a chance to shine a light on the dysfunction of our city government. Natural gas leaks, lead water pipes, empty tree pits, deteriorating roads and sidewalks, and a City Council that was unwilling to follow the Open Meeting Law.

Known as An Act driving clean energy and off shore wind, this new law bolsters green transportation, green buildings and clean power production, including off shore wind and solar, while creating thousands of new jobs and economic benefits for the Commonwealth. The bill builds on previous efforts by the state legislature and will help ensure that Massachusetts achieves its goal of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. “Massachusetts is a national and global leader in combating climate change and shifting our economy away from dirty fossil fuels to clean, renewable sources of energy like off shore wind and solar,” said Senator Jason Lewis. “But the scale and urgency of the climate challenges we face demand that we rapidly expand our burgeoning off shore wind energy industry and accelerate eff orts to green our transportation sector and buildings. I’m grateful to my legislative colleagues, especially Senator Barrett and Representative Roy, and all the climate activists who worked so hard to ensure passage of this critical legislation.” Some of the highlights of the S LANDSCAPE & MASONRY CO.

The rebate amount will increase to $3,500 for passenger cars and light-duty trucks, and electric vehicle purchasers who trade in their emission-producing vehicles will be eligible for an additional incentive of $1,000. The bill also takes steps to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure. • Requires all electricity companies to submit proposals to the Department of Public Utilities for how they will off er reduced electricity rates for consumers who charge their zero-emission vehicles at off -peak times • Requires every passenger bus that is purchased or leased by the MBTA to be a zero-emission vehicle starting in 2030. By the end of 2040, the MBTA will be required to operate exclusively zero-emission vehicles. Underserved and low-income communities must be prioritized for the equitable deployment of these zero-emission buses. • Creates a demonstration project for up to 10 cities or towns, by local option, to require all-electric building construction. To participate, a municipality must also meet certain aff ordable housing or multifamily development thresholds. • Makes several enhancements to the Mass Save program, which provides rebates and incentives for owners and renters related to effi cient appliances and other home energy improvements Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma Prices subject to change Ask about our Heating Oil Conditioner!

You may not know Nicholas Menkello but you know Nicky Angelo! This beloved “Son of Edgeworth” singlehandedly kept the Saint Rocco Feast alive through the good and lean years, his status in his Edgeworth neighborhood a cross between Paul McCartney, JFK and Matt Dillon. Not only for the exemplary life he’s lived, not only for that handsome, ageless babyface (we often speak of Nicky’s still incredible head of hair), not only for marrying well, but most of all for his two beautiful daughters, Paula and Ann-Marie!! I remember my fi rst-ever Nicky Angelo experience. It was at Saint Rocco 1978. I was nursing a Miller High Life in “Albert’s Beer Garden” with my (late) BFF Jimmy Damiano when the “Prince of Pearl Street” comes strolling in. (Is it just me? This guy even walks cool!) Showing cult-like reverence, the crowd splits like the Red Sea as if Nicky were the Rolling Stones’ Brian Jones parting the crowd at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967! I asked Jimmy who the (heck) that was. He sideways glanced me with a smirk and says, “I forgot, you grew up on the other side of Highland Ave.; you probably don’t know Nicky Angelo.” But I digress... This little story is about Nick’s ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS....Beautiful colonial offers 6 rooms 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, nice open front foyer leading to an updated kitchen with maple cabinets, granite counters, granite peninsular with seating for four and pendent lighting, formal dining room, open concept to living room, main bedroom features private bath, trek deck - great for enjoying a cup of coffee or barbecuing, oversized yard with storage shed, security system, central air, roof, siding, heat approximately 10 years old, first floor interior painted 2 years ago.

Handsome like the godfather (oops, I meant his godfather), Nicky and I became fast friends this San Rocco over our love of the weekend and the reason we gather on Pearl on the second weekend of the year. Every year. Nick is chiseled like a WWE wrestler and has a “don’t mess with me”–type look about him, but as the saying goes, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Soft-spoken with a way about him that belies his appearance, Nicky pulled double duty this past San Rock weekend fi rst by volunteering behind the grill then walking the Procession on Sunday afternoon. This earned him my annual “San Rock 10th Player Award” for the three-day fest. I digress, once again. Nicky told me a great story about a recent purchase of his. Well, take it away Nicky: “Anyone who grew up in the Edgeworth section of Malden knows that around the beginning of August there is a heightened sense of community among the Saint Rocco faithful. For the past several years I’ve been searching for a statue like the one we all know and love that stood at the corner of Saint Peter’s Parish, and now, at the IACC (the original still displayed in Vinnie Della Gatta’s bay window on Pearl). I was able to fi nally fi nd the exact same one carved by the Daprato Brothers (1884 vintage Italy)! It went on auction, and I placed a bid along with my Edgeworth story, and what it meant to not only my family (godfather Nick) but to an event that brought us ALL together. I won the auction instantly and his long journey began to Boston. Unfortunately, upon arrival the Saint was destroyed, in pieces. I was devastated to see it in ruins. But much like my Italian ancestors would have done, I summoned the skills needed to take every shattered piece and slowly restore him. It took about a month and many hours but it’s back to a proper condition, with minor imperfections. It was a painstaking honor to rebuild alongside the amazing skill of the Diprato’s [sic] nearly 150 years ago. He will grace my dining room on a platform I built from hand and will be in our family and our hearts forever. Viva San Rocco.” Brilliant Nicky, thanks for sharing. Picked up pieces while (still) physically recuperating from (a long) Saint Rocco weekend... • San Rock weekend was a smashing success. The weather was outstanding, the enterMUSINGS | SEE PAGE 15

The collaboration continued as Naomi worked with Friends of the Malden River Cofounder/President Karen Buck to install the “REDUCE” letters in front of the DPW yard on Commercial Street this summer. The 3D messaging system of letters encourages passersby to fi ll the letters with plastics and litter collected from the roadway and sidewalks. By displaying these large-scale visual messages in public places, the hope is to encourage people to reduce their purchases of single use plastic bottles to keep our cities, streets and waterways clean. “The community enjoys being involved with clean-ups. Now we can visualize the waste by fi lling the REDUCE letters with plastic bottles and other recyclables. During cleanups, we see how the street litter lands up in the Malden River,” said Buck. Several cleanups have been organized around the city including at the YMCA, and Post Offi ce parking to fi ll the letters at the Malden DPW. “I’m grateful to Naomi Kahn and Karen Buck for implementing this creative way of reducing trash on our streets,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “This will make my job a lot easier!” Sponsors of the project in Malden include the Mayor’s Offi ce, the DPW, Malden Arts and Friends of the Malden River. ~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ Resident takes exception to councillor’s obligations to his position Dear Editor, My name is Kevin Larson and I am a 60-year homeowner and taxpayer of Malden. The reason for this letter to the editor is in response to Councillor at-Large/ Malden City Council President Craig Spadafora’s letter in regards to Councillor Ryan O'Malley not fulfi lling his obligation as city councillor and chairperson of the Parks and Recreation Committee. Councillor O'Malley, as you are aware, there are strict rules governing meetings in the state of Mass. and the city of Malden. Taking a chairperson position, i.e., our beautiful parks and recreation, is an extremely important chairmanship. Our parks are some of the beautiful jewels of the city of Malden. Obviously reading the Op-Ed by Council President Spadafora, you never took this appointment seriously. Also, he stated that you blatantly ignored the city of Malden’s Open Meeting rules. Also, wasting city of Malden legal fees an openly violating the rules of the city council is absolutely DISGRACEFUL as a sitting city councillor. As I remind you Councillor O’Malley, you represent the citizens of our beloved city - not your personal agenda!

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 26, 2022 Page 9 ORANGE LINE| FROM PAGE 1 than answers” syndrome? Well, some may take it that way, but not entirely so. The MBTA announced the onemonth shutdown (August 19-September 19) earlier this month following a string of concerning safety incidents, including the death of a man on the Red Line and an Orange Line train that caught fi re over the Mystic River. Federal offi cials are in the process of investigating the transit agency’s safety practices. MBTA and Massachusetts Department of Transportation offi - cials have stated they believe their work crews can fi nish fi ve years’ worth of repairs within the next four weeks. The $189 million project will replace thousands of feet of rail at Wellington Yard in Medford, crossovers that help trains switch directions, and signals at the Oak Grove and Malden Center Stations “to increase safety and reliability.” One of the key elements of both the rollout and then this week’s implementation of the Orange Line shutdown has been the provision of information of essentially every aspect of the unprecedented project. At this point, according to a multitude of online, print and televised media reports, the tens of thousands of daily “T” riders who are directly affected by the shutdown are well-informed site is www.mbta.com. Accessible on that website are both an explanation of the ongoing project, “Building a Better T,” as well as the regular feature, “Trip Planner,” which features up-to-date information on how to go from one place to another destination. In addition to encouragements as to the best way to get to their destinations. Here in Malden and in surrounding communities, there was a highly prioritized eff ort to get out information and ease the inconvenience and hardship in any way. Malden Mayor Gary Christenson was out at Malden’s two MBTA Orange Line Stations on Monday morning, the fi rst commuter day of the shutdown, alongside Malden Police Chief Glenn Cronin. Both were handing out prepaid CharlieCards to cover the cost of the rides on the Commuter Rails. Also, in Malden, at both of the city’s two Orange Line Stations – Malden Center and Oak Grove – eight-hour manned police details are in eff ect, expediting both pedestrians getting across busy streets onto the shuttle buses and then safely waving the buses through traffi c lights to save time. Both the City of Malden and the MBTA have Ridership Guides on their official websites. Malden’s website can be accessed at www. cityofmalden.org. The MBTA webto use the Commuter Rail, the Green Line, regular MBTA buses or even more basic modes of transportation, such as bicycles, the main way of getting to riders’ destinations is provided by the “T” via shuttle buses. A rolling armada of these shuttle coach buses was in effect beginning this past weekend and multiplying greatly – dozens in use through the course of the day – in time for Monday morning’s regular commute. According to a number of reports, the biggest negative about the Orange Line shutdown was the increased time of trips – anywhere – which was expected in advance. For example, a usual 26-29-minute trip from Malden Center to Government Center on the Orange Line is now 18-20 minutes longer – close to one hour – on the shuttle buses. Overall, according to comments in online reports and social media; however, other riders expressed gratitude over the conscientiousness and detail spent on assisting the T’s plans by local municipal and public safety offi cials. Riders boarded shuttle buses at the Orange Line’s Oak Grove Station on the fi rst day of the Orange Line shutdown. (Courtesy/nbcboston) Put Your Success To Work.

The event featured reading prizes and awards, games, music – and cake and other goodies. Summer library programs are so important since reading over the summer can stop the slide and help children improve their reading skills – without turning reading into a chore. Research confirms that children who participate in summer library programs better retain the reading skills they gained during the school year and might even improve their reading level.

His family members flew in from Texas and New Hampshire for the momentous occasion. Mayor Gary Christenson, who appointed him to the Malden Housing Authority Board of Commissioners in 2013, said Bayers was kind and a rare gem, while Ward 6 Councillor Stephen Winslow looked up to Bayers as a father figure. The mainly lifelong resident had lived at the Malden Housing Authority since 1997. All hands were “off deck” before the bench, where he would sit, was dedicated in George Bayer’s memory. Bayer’s son, Robert, and Mayor Gary Christenson cut the ribbon. A plaque on the bench reads that Bayers was a resident commissioner, a very gentle man and community leader. Bayer’s son, Robert, said he always knew his father was a great man; however, he didn’t know how many others thought he was, too, before the ceremony began. George Bayer’s son, Robert, neighbor Helen Primak and his brother Robert enjoyed sitting on the dedicated bench unveiling on June 8th at the Malden Housing Authority. A portrait of Bayers is shown with some baked goods and his favorite candy – for guests to enjoy after the ceremony. (Advocate photos by Tara Vocino) George Bayer’s pastime was playing bingo.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 26, 2022 Page 13 Metro Mayors Host Shannon Grant Basketball Tournament Annual event brings together law enforcement, youths, community workers to celebrate a safe summer & kick off the new school year Mayor Gary Christenson is shown with the Malden team and coaches. E VERETT – Local teens, community-based organizations and area law enforcement officials joined together for the Annual Shannon Grant Basketball Tournament in Everett last weekend, in a show of solidarity to support the fight against youth violence and gang involvement across Metro Mayors Coalition communities. On Saturday, August 6, teams from Everett, Malden, Somerville, Revere, Cambridge, Chelsea and Winthrop competed in the 13th Annual Shannon Grant Basketball Tournament at the Everett Recreation Center. This year’s event included a cookout, ice cream truck, three-point contest, an artist, backyard games and a visit from Malden Mayor Gary Christenson as well as Chelsea City Manager Tom Ambrosino. “The Shannon Basketball Tournament is an important reminder of the positive outcomes we are able to achieve by bringing young members of the community and law enforcement together to enjoy some food, fun, and friendly competition,” said Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “I am grateful for all the staff who work hard to make this event possible each year and to the young people for their willingness to engage with us.” “The Metro Mayors Community Safety Initiative is critical to steering young people across our region away from violence,” said Chelsea City Manager Tom Ambrosino, who also serves as Chair of the Metropolitan Mayors Coalition. “It’s always a pleasure to see the youth in the region come together for this tournament. The relationships we saw on display among youth, coaches, and mentors from different cities in the region remind us of the great progress we have made in this region since the start of the Shannon Grant.” “When people ask me what’s one of the best ways we can continue to move our communities forward, I always respond that it’s through partnerships especially like the ones on display at the 2023 Shannon Basketball Tournament. During this event, we had elected officials, police, and recreation department officials come together to support our youth and I am certain that relationships were formed as a result that will carry forward,” said Malden Mayor Gary Christenson. “Of course, events like these don’t happen on their own. Rather, there needs to be a catalyst and that was just what the Metropolitan Area Planning Council was, by organizing and administering this great event.” The annual basketball tournament has been held since 2009 to bring together youths, law enforcement and community-based organizations involved in the Metro Mayors Shannon Grant Community Safety Initiative, which is a state-funded program that supports regional approaches to combating gang violence through law enforcement, job training and afterschool programs. The tournament is hosted in a different community each summer and brings together more than 100 youths in a fun, friendly competition. For more information on the Shannon Grant or the Metro Mayors Coalition, contact Rosemary Volinski at rvolinski@ mapc.org. Cambridge won the tournament in a close game against Malden.

Malden High second-year Head Football Coach Witche Exilhomme says he believes he will have more than a few of these kinds of players on his Golden Tornado roster this 2022 season. It is no coincidence that he believes his Malden team will challenge for everything this fall. "We have a strong core of athletes who have put in a great deal of quality time this past offseason getting prepared for this season," said Coach Exilhomme, as he kicked off his second preseason camp as head coach of his alma mater's football program. "They have made great strides since last season and it has shown so far in the preseason camp, they are ready to go," the Malden coach added. Malden kicks off its season with a pair of non-league games, the season opener less than two weeks away, on the road on Thursday, September 8 at Whittier Tech (6:00 p.m. start, in Haverhill). On Friday, September 16, Malden hosts non-leaguer Melrose High at Macdonald Stadium at 6:00 p.m. Malden is coming off a 2-8 campaign in Coach Exilhomme's first season in 2021, which was capped by a solid, exciting 12-10 victory on Thanksgiving Day over Medford, a game decided by a Ronald Juarez 32yard field goal for the Tornados. The coach said his team's goals this year are high: Challenge for and win the Greater his words and follow his lead," Coach Exilhomme said. Other key players include junior 6-5, 190 defensive back/ split end Gabriel Vargas Cardoso, sophomore linebacker Matteus Brito, sophomore linemen Isaac Pineda, DeWayne Saintvil, Jerell Calixte and Karl Lange, and senior running back, sophomore quarterback Aidan Brett and defensive linemen John Lloyd. Coach Exilhomme concedes his team's youth, but had praise for their efforts so far. "They have put in the work. We do not look at their age, but just what they are producing right now, today. They have a bright future, we have a bright future because of them." ***** Malden players break it down with a GO MALDEN! at the end of practice Tuesday. Boston League championship and get to Gillette Stadium to have a chance to win it all in December. Malden's "why not us?" theme comes from the effort put in by a good amount of the players in the offseason, according to Coach Exilhomme. "Our players have worked harder than most teams in our league and in the state. It is time they got rewarded for that hard work." Leading the way for Malden High this year will be a quartet of captains, four seniors and sophomore. Senior 6-1, 205 defensive end Zachariah Pan is a returning defensive starter for a group that should be one of the team's strengths. He will serve as quad-captain along with starting senior running back and linebacker Makiel Coulong- es-Blaise (5-10, 175), senior defensive back and split end Andrew Louis (6-2, 200) and sophomore linebacker James Hyppolite (6-0, 195).

High School Fall Sports are here with Football heading up the list Long, hot summer will blend into a busy new school sports year for Everett HS, Malden HS and Revere HS By Steve Freker T he time-honored phrase “Long, hot summer” comes to mind this week as we come to realize that the high school Fall Season is upon us. We know it has definitely been hot out there most of the past 10 weeks of summer, but we might have to scratch the word “long.” It seems like yesterday that the teams were finishing double-plays on the baseball and softball fields, scoring goals in lacrosse or spiking volleyballs. How did the calendar flip so quickly? But they are tossing footballs and running sprints starting today as the fall sports season officially gets underway. Football kicked it off with two days of extra conditioning under MIAA guidelines. Golf was also allowed to begin its preseason today under newly adopted MIAA guidelines. All fall sports followed with their official starts on Monday, August 22, as boys’ and girls’ soccer, cross-country, field hockey, golf and girls’ volleyball all got underway.

Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen GET A FREE SUBSCRIPTION TO JOINT INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS AND MASSHEALTH subject to the five-year look back period. If you are concerned that a A ny asset, with the exception of joint bank accounts, owned by two or more single individuals is presumed to be owned in equal shares, unless a different percentage of ownership is substantiated. For example, a joint brokerage account with Fidelity owned by a parent applying for MassHealth benefits owned jointly with his or her son would only be a countable asset for eligibility purposes to the extent of 50% of that account value. Joint bank accounts, on the other hand, will be counted in full for MassHealth eligibility purposes, unless the other joint owner can prove contribution towards the balance in the bank accounts. The longer the joint brokerage account has been established, the more likely that MassHealth would only count 50% of the value of the account upon submitting an application for MassHealth benefits. If you were to open up a joint brokerage account several months prior to applying for MassHealth, it is likely the application would be denied as MassHealth would proceed to count 100% of the value of the account as opposed to 50%. The adding of a child as a joint owner of the brokerage account would be treated as a disqualifying transfer loved one, who is not married, and who may be in need of nursing home care well within the next five years, it might be worthwhile looking into taking some bank account monies and transferring them to a brokerage account in the name of the person who will soon be entering the nursing home and a son or daughter. If enough time goes by after the establishment of such an account, at least half of the monies will be protected. If MassHealth took the position that the entire account is countable, then excess assets in that situation could be transferred to a pooled trust depending upon the particular facts and circumstances. The pooled trust will take the excess countable assets off the table and convert them to non-countable assets held by the non-profit pooled trust entity. Monies can be spent on the nursing home resident on items and services not covered by MassHealth. There is a payback provision to MassHealth and there is an amount that will be retained by the charity depending on how long the recipient of MassHealth benefits resides in the nursing home. Even a Medicaid annuity should be looked at as another option of protecting as much money as possible. Countable assets are converted to a non-countable income stream that would have to be paid to the nursing home. By doing this, you would at least be able to obtain approval for MassHealth benefits.

That percentage is the number referred to as the roll call attendance record. Thirty of the 40 senators did not miss any roll calls and have 100 percent roll call attendance records. This high level of participation can likely be attributed to the fact that under emergency rules adopted because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the vast majority of the 40 senators are not in the Senate chamber during a session. Most are watching and listening to the session from their home, business or Senate office and casting their votes remotely. Senators’ remote votes are communicated to Senate officials during the session or prior to the session if senators are informed in advance that there will be a roll call vote. If a member wants to speak on an issue under consideration, they do so on a separate “debate phone line” and their voice is then heard in the Senate chamber and by anyone watching the broadcast online. The number of senators who had 100 percent roll call attendance records in the four years prior to the pandemic was lower than 2022 as follows: 28 in 2019; 20 in 2018; 25 in 2017; and 17 in 2016. It is a Senate tradition that the Senate president only votes occasionally. Current Senate President Karen Spilka follows that tradition and only voted on 39 (26.7 percent) of the 146 roll calls while not voting on 107 (73.3 percent) of them. Nine (23 percent) of the 39 senators, other than Spilka, missed one or more roll calls. Sens. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Diana DiZoglio (D-Methuen) and Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem) each missed three roll calls for a roll call attendance record of 97.9 percent. Sens. Sonia Chang Diaz (D-Boston), Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester) and Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) each missed two rolls and scored a roll call attendance record of 98.6 percent. Finally, Sens. Mike Rush (D-West Roxbury), Adam Gomez (D-Springfield) and Nick Collins (D-Boston) each missed only one roll call for a roll call attendance record of 99.3 percent. Beacon Hill Roll Call contacted the nine senators asking why they missed some roll calls. Only two of the nine responded. “I was prevented from engaging in three roll call votes while working remotely because my internet connection was interrupted,” said Sen. Lovely. “I have participated in all other roll call votes this session and submitted a letter on how I would have voted to the Senate Clerk.” “A vote of mine was not recorded due to remote communications issue,” said Sen. Rush. “I submitted a letter [indicating how I voted] shortly after with my vote on [the roll call].” Sens. Friedman, Chang-Diaz, Chandler, DiZoglio, Fattman, Gomez and Collins did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them for a statement. SENATORS’ 2022 ROLL CALL ATTENDANCE RECORDS The percentage listed next to the senator’s name is the percentage of roll call votes on which the senator voted. The number in parentheses represents the number of roll calls that he or she missed. Sen. Jason Lewis 100 percent (0) ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL FILL OUT ONE APPLICATION FOR MULTI-STATE BENEFITS– Gov. Baker signed into law a measure that would allow individuals to simultaneously apply online, on a state-sponsored website, for various state-funded benefits including MassHealth, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), childcare subsidies, housing subsidies, fuel assistance and other needs-based health care, nutrition and shelter benefits. Supporters say that people who need state assistance usually need it from several different programs. They noted this presents a problem because it is difficult for people without cars and childcare to go to all the different places to apply. They said a one-stop common application would help streamline the system and avoid a lot of bureaucratic red tape. Baker said he strongly support the measure “as it aligns with an important initiative that is currently underway in this administration.” “The agencies and secretariats included in the proposed [measure] are currently engaged in collaborative efforts to establish a common application mechanism nearly identical to the portal envisioned by this section,” said Baker. MEDICAL MARIJUANA USE ON SCHOOL GROUNDS – Gov. Baker vetoed and sent back to the Legislature a section of the cannabis bill that he recently signed into law. The section he vetoed would require the Cannabis Control Commission, in consultation with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Public Health, to conduct a study and issue recommendations on how to remove obstacles that currently prevent students at public and private K-12 schools from possessing and consuming medical marijuana on school grounds. Baker noted that current law states as clearly as possible that possession and consumption of marijuana must remain unlawful on the grounds of any K-12 school, on school buses and in youth centers. “The language of the section [that I vetoed] is highly prescriptive—making it clear that the agencies charged with producing the study must identify ways to make medical marijuana widely available within schools, rather than considering whether such an allowance is advisable,” wrote Baker is his veto message. “The voter initiatives that legalized medical marijuana in 2012 and 2016 included strong measures to keep marijuana away from K-12 schools and school children. Both laws explicitly stated that marijuana would in no circumstance be permitted on school grounds. [Current law] also states as clearly as possible that possession and consumption of marijuana must remain unlawful on the grounds of any K-12 school, on school buses and in youth centers. Because the study … clearly works against these important and well-established protections and disregards the clear intentions of the voters in legalizing marijuana use, I cannot approve this part of the bill.” Supporters of the study say they understand the governor’s concerns but note that this is only a study to get more information. They point out that the District of Columbia as well as 10 states—California, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington—allow students to take medical marijuana on school grounds during the school day as part of their daily treatment. They say that just because a student is in school at the time, he or she should take his or her dose does not mean that the dose should not be given. BOARD OF EDUCATION RAISES THE MCAS SCORE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL NEED IN ORDER TO GRADUATE – The State Board of Education voted to raise the minimum score that future high school students must receive on some of their MCAS tests in order to graduate including English language arts, math and science and technology/engineering. The higher score requirement will apply to students entering high school as freshmen beginning in the 2022-2023 school year. “Raising the … standard is critical, as is the message that we believe students are capable of meeting the higher standard and the commonwealth and its educators will support them to do that,” said Education Commissioner Jeff Riley. "This evidence underscores the importance of raising the standard and also highlights the need to articulate clearly to students, parents, educators and other stakeholders how the different levels of achievement on the MCAS tests signal whether a student is on track for success beyond high school, whether in postsecondary education, the military, the workplace, or independent and productive community life,” Riley continued. Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville) spoke against the regulations and said raising the passing score for English MCAS “will harm children who are English learners.” “These children will be the ones most affected by raising the English passing scores because, by definition, they don't yet read and write English fluently,” said Jehlen. “They can have bright futures as important members of our community and contributors to our economy if they can get a high school diploma.” The most outspoken critic of the proposal was Max Page, president of the Massachusetts Teachers Association. “You've fetishized an approach to education that is, at the very least, outdated and, at the most, destructive of our schools and communities,” said Page. “You know, somewhere a little before the ed reform bill in 1983, I had a shiny object I too thought was magical. It was called a mood ring and I thought it was capturing my every change of emotion. I also thought that REO Speedwagon's first album was really the height of pop music. Then I grew older and I grew up. The board is still fidgeting with your mood rings and spinning their REO Speedwagon albums, obsessed with a test invented some 20 years ago and repeatedly shown to do little more than prove the wealth of the student and the community where it is taken.” BHRC | SEE PAGE 20
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 26, 2022 Page 17 LAW | FROM PAGE 2 that was not properly before the City Council. This matter added millions of dollars in unfunded liabilities to the City of Malden. He knew this action was fi scally questionable and a violation of the Open Meeting Law. He laughed off his oath to follow the laws of the Commonwealth saying, who cares “if this is going to be an Open Meeting Law violation, we get one a week.” He then moved for a vote. The Attorney General’s Determination (OML 2022-135) clearly states that: “Based on the video evidence, we find that the Council intentionally violated the Open Meeting Law. We therefore order each member of the Council to attend a comprehensive Open Meeting Law training, either by participating in one of the Division of Open Government’s monthly webinar trainings or by attending a training presented by the Council’s legal counsel. Additionally, we refer this matter for a hearing pursuant to 940 CMR 29.07(3) and recommend that the Council be assessed a fi ne of $1,000 pursuant to G.L. c. 30A, § 23(c).” Craig Spadafora’s disregard for the law cost the City of Malden at least $1,000. So much for being fi scally prudent. The Attorney General’s determination can be found at the following POSITION | FROM PAGE 8 den Open Meeting Laws, and not fulfilling your obligation as Parks and Recreation chairperson. As a taxpayer, I formally request the city of Malden Human link: https://drive.google.com/ fi le/d/10NnoAhudTp-C7WdpTSONZLVR6goNYUJZ/view?usp=drives dk Less than a year later, on June 28, 2022, Craig Spadafora doubled down on his potentially lawless behavior by working with Mayor Gary Christenson’s staff to disrupt a public meeting of the Parks & Recreation Committee. Councillors Karen Colón Hayes, Amanda Linehan, and I had been trying to get a meeting posted for months but scheduling confl icts prohibited that. The situation was also rapidly changing around Roosevelt Park and we wanted to make sure the community and the Friends of Roosevelt Park would have a seat at the table. This is likely why the meeting was disrupted. Craig Spadafora and Gary Christenson appear to have been upset that the community is rising up against turf at Roosevelt Park and the Parks & Recreation Committee was giving these “pesky” residents a place to assemble and speak their minds. Most alarmingly, this unprecedented disruption was likely a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment protections: “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” Time will tell, if this was a serious and willful violation of Malden residents’ constitutional rights. If so, the sanction will likely be more substantial than a $1,000 fi ne. It could be our liberty. Resources Director look into this to see if any laws were violated and to recoup any monies paid during this incident.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 26, 2022 avy eniiooravvy S iorn or avvyavy vvy io iori by Jim Miller What is an Annual Notice of Change? Dear Savvy Senior, Last year I received a “notice of change” letter from my Medicare provider. Should I expect another one this year, and what should I do with it? Medicare Rookie Dear Rookie, The letter you’re asking about is actually referred to as the Annual Notice of Change (or ANOC), which is a letter you receive from your Medicare Advantage or Medicare Part D prescription drug plan in late September. (People with only a Medigap plan don’t receive these because Medigap plans do not have benefi t changes from year to year). So yes, you should expect to receive another letter next month. The ANOC gives a summary of any changes in your plan’s costs and coverage that will take eff ect Jan. 1 of the next year. The ANOC is typically mailed with the plan’s “evidence of coverage,” which is a more comprehensive list of the plan’s costs and benefi ts for the upcoming year. You should review these notices to see if your plan will continue to meet your health care needs in 2023. If you are dissatisfi ed with any upcoming changes, you can make changes to your coverage during fall open enrollment, which runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. Here are three types of changes to look for: Costs: If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, fi nd out what you can expect to pay for services in 2023. Costs such as deductibles and copayments can change each year. For example, your plan may not have had a deductible in 2022, but it could have one in 2023. A deductible is the amount of money you owe out-of-pocket before your plan begins to cover your care. Another example is that your plan may increase the copayments you owe for visits to your primary care provider or specialists. Coverage: If you have an Advantage plan with prescription drug coverage check to see if your doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers and pharmacies will still be in network for 2023. You have the lowest out-of-pocket costs if you go to providers and pharmacies that are in your plan’s network. If you see an out-of-network provider, your plan may not cover any of the cost of your care, leaving you to pay the cost out-of-pocket. You should also contact your providers directly to confi rm that they will still be accepting your plan in the coming year. Drugs: If you have prescription drug coverage, look through the plan’s formulary, which is the list of drugs the plan covers. Formulary changes can happen from year to year, so make sure the medications you’re taking will be covered next year, and that they’re not moved to a higher tier which will aff ect your copay. If you see any changes that will increase your costs, you may want to select a diff erent drug plan that covers all of your medications. If the formulary is incomplete, or you do not see your drug(s) on the list, contact the plan directly to learn more. If you have not received an ANOC by the end of September, you should contact your Medicare Advantage Plan or Part D plan to request it. This notice can be very helpful in determining whether you should make any changes to your coverage during the fall open enrollment. Reading your ANOC can also prevent any surprises about your coverage in the new year. Shopping, comparing and enrolling in a new Medicare Advantage or Part D plan during the open enrollment period can easily be done online at Medicare’s Plan Finder Tool at Medicare.gov/ fi nd-a-plan. Or, if you don’t have a computer or Internet access, you can also call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and they can help you out over the phone. Your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which provides free Medicare counseling, is also a great resource to help you make any changes. To fi nd a local SHIP counselor, visit ShipHelp.org or call 877-839-2675. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett), the Senate sponsor of the measure, said he is encouraged that the bill passed the House. “It is a very simple bill that would designate a date for plastic pollution awareness and action,” said DiDomenico. “Plastic consumption is something every consumer can work towards reducing and eventual- LEGAL NOTICE - City of Malden, Massachusetts MALDEN BOARD OF APPEAL PUBLIC HEARING The Malden Board of Appeal will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 at 6:30 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) at Malden City Hall, 215 Pleasant St, Room #106 Herbert L Jackson Council Chambers, Malden, MA on Petition 22-008 by Ryan Marie Ketterer and Brian Ketterer for a variance of - Title 12, Chapter 12, Code of the City of Malden as amended through February 1, 2022 –12.16.010 Table of Intensity Regulations – Specifically Setback/Side as per Plans RES-046879-2022 at the property known as and numbered 270 Bainbridge Street, Malden, MA and also known by City Assessor’s Parcel ID #092-710-006 Additional information, Petition & plans available for public review in the Office of lnspectional Services, 215 Pleasant St., 3rd floor, Malden MA or online at www.cityofmalden. org or https://permits.cityofmalden.org/EnerGov Prod/ SelfService Nathaniel Cramer Chair August 26, Sept. 2, 2022 - LEGAL NOTICE - City of Malden, Massachusetts MALDEN BOARD OF APPEAL PUBLIC HEARING The Malden Board of Appeal will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 at 6:30 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) at Malden City Hall, 215 Pleasant St, Room #106 Herbert L Jackson Council Chambers, Malden, MA on Petition 22-007 by Patrick P McDonald, Esq on behalf of SA & M Enterprises, LLC for a variance of - Title 12, Chapter 12, Code of the City of Malden as amended through February 1, 2022 -12.16.010 Table of Intensity Regulations - Specifically: Area, Setback/Rear as per Plans CMID-046598-2022 at the property known as and numbered 385 Medford Street, Malden, MA and also known by City Assessor’s Parcel ID #040-180-001 Additional information, Petition & plans available for public review in the Office of lnspectional Services, 215 Pleasant St., 3rd floor, Malden MA or online at www.cityofmalden. org or https://permits.cityofmalden.org/EnerGov Prod/ SelfService Nathaniel Cramer Chair August 26, Sept. 2, 2022 ly eliminating. With the passage of this bill I hope it will broaden our community awareness of the impact of plastic pollution.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Mayor Wu’s announcement demonstrates that the new climate law is already working. Cities and towns are lining up to do their part in the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy.” ---Ben Hellerstein, state director for Environment Massachusetts, on Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s announcement that she will lobby to have Boston included among the 10 cities and towns authorized under the new climate law to set fossil-fuel-free requirements for new buildings. “Gov. Baker talks a good game about supporting workforce development. But when he had the chance to help women and people of color build their skills and gain more access to state construction jobs, he vetoed a 20 percent apprenticeship requirement for projects over $1 million in the recently approved transportation bond bill. The 20 percent provision is modeled after the 2008 stimulus bill, which successfully increased diversity and brought new apprentices into the building trades.” ---Massachusetts Building Trades Unions president Frank Callahan. “I will say this: she and her team have been terrifi c partners on a lot of this stuff around the Orange Line. They've been great.” ---Gov. Baker on Mayor Wu. 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 fi led. 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 August 15-19, the House met for a total of 30 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 35 minutes. Mon.
