THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 13, 2024 Page 5 Seventh Annual Lantern Walk T he Seventh Annual Lantern Walk took place on August 24 on an afternoon with perfect weather. Attendance was slightly larger than last year! As we reported previously, we made some changes to take into account our changing circumstances. A few points: • We bought 70 small LED light strings and have fi ve left, so 65 went into lanterns – our most accurate measure of attendance. Using these lights also meant that we didn’t have to spend time on sticking candles to lanterns or on lighting them. • Most of the lanterns went home with their creators this year, as well as a large number of lanterns from previous years. We think this is also due to the LED lights, as they are safer and more likely to be used indoors. • Tess Fredette covered nearly all of our “blank” lantern bodies with white tissue paper, neatly edged with diff erent colors. These were very popular, both for coloring and for stickering. We will be talking about bottle collection in a future blast. As many of you know, our Lead Lantern Artist, Ginny Remedi-Brown, has been dealing with major health issues since the last Lantern Walk.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 13, 2024 ~ Malden Musings ~ Malden 1963 – Part 2 By Peter Levine M y recollection of 1963 is scant. Six years old in 1963 when we arrived on (pre-urban renewal) Charles Street from Carney Court in Charlestown; the six bedrooms were foreboding to us youngsters coming from a cramped two-bedroom apartment off Bunker Hill Street on the mean streets of Charlestown; Charles Street looking like Edinburgh Castle in Scotland as we pulled up for the very fi rst time. What I remember about 1963... I remember that terrified first walk to Emerson School on Highland Avenue with my mother and brothers Joe and Frank. Before my mother walked us into the school, she took us across the street to “Gennetti’s Spa” at Emerald & Highland (Henry’s father, Kristen & Matt’s grandfather), where she bought us comfort snacks for the day. I remember Johnny Puleo and a memorable conversation we had as fi rst-graders (ask me about it next time you see me), and later in the month I remember Principal Feeley coming into our classroom to tell us the shocking news of our beloved, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I also remember classmate Donna McCaff rey and how upset she became upon hearing the news. With that said, a very small glimpse into Malden 1963 – Part 2 – courtesy of the Malden Evening News and the Malden High School Maldonian: It is said in “Malden Musings” circa 1963... • October 3 – “Hero Officer Eyes Return To Job” – “53 year old Malden Patrolman George Hood – his upper lip swollen, his half-a-knee cap wired together, his eyes still bloodshot and sensitive to light from his hospital bed recounted for the fi rst time his version of the A&P Supermarket holdup attempt on September 14th where he was shot three times and his partner Patrolman Eddie C. Callahan was fatally wounded.” • Oct. 3 – “Inside Information...” “A position on the State Commission Against Discrimination, due to go to a “Negro Republican,” sees Malden Councilor Herbert L. Jackson, former State Rep supposedly having the inside track for the appointment.” • Aug. ’63 – who remembers DeMarco’s Cafe at 137 Pearl St. (now Pisa Pizza) featuring “99 cent specials” and “delicious barbecue” – another throwback establishment we frequented back in days of yore. It was so throwback it had a sign above the side door on Charles Street that read, “Ladies Entrance.” We would sit at the bar at lunch – (owner) Mike DeMarco behind the stick – order up bowls of his homemade meatballs with a side of hot cherry peppers (really hot!) and the freshest, crispiest French Bread (Pearl Bakery?) in Malden. And of course, a cold Miller High Life. The best of times for sure! • Aug ’63 – who remembers Mid-grade Regular $3.73 2.97 64 37 Over 45 Years of Excellence! Full Service $2.95 Order online at angelosoil.com Tricca’s Cafe & Restaurant at 192 Pearl St. “Malden’s leading Italian American Restaurant” – later morphing into Richie Cremone’s pride and joy “Cremones.” One of my earliest memories of Tricca’s was sometime in the early 1970s. Edgeworth fi ve tool baseball stud Dennis Damiano (1970 BRL City Champ Barons & co-MVP) took me and my bestie (his little brother) Jimmy for a feast one Saturday afternoon. I don’t remember what Jimmy ate but (I believe) Dennis consumed crab after crab after crab. Epic! My ravioli and meatball were rivaled at the time only by my mom’s! • Aug 9 – check out a typical fabulous Wednesday morning on TV in August of 1963: at 5 a.m. the movie “Invaders from Mars” on Channel 4, Bozo on Channel 5 (in color!), Three Stooges Theatre on Channel 7 and Popeye on Channel 9. • Aug 9 – “Inside Information...” “Whether the matter is settled or not, about naming the new Coytemore Lea MDC swimming pool in honor of some distinguished ‘Maldenite,’ Harvey Nadler’s 1963 Malden High School senior picture there’s a growing sentiment for recognizing a Malden boy who lost his life in World War 2. And since the pool is in Ward Four, it is a coincidence that among the fi rst, if not the fi rst, to sacrifi ce his life in that war was a Ward Four young man, Ralph W. Barrett Jr, killed in action Sept. 13, 1942, fi ghting with the Marines at the Battle of Bloody Ridge, Guadalcanal. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W. Barrett, still reside at 66 Greenleaf Street.” • Meanwhile at Malden High School... “CAM Collects Over $150 for March of Dimes.” The Convenimus Ad Meditandum Society will be sponsoring an “Indian girl’s” education in Arizona. Ten-year-old Nesbah Clark will be the recipient of money earned from the sale of “tipons” for her education. Not sure what “tipons” are and I would love to know how far little Nesbah got in life. • Both of Anthony and Michelle (Settemio) Spadafora’s parents graduated in that star-studded class of ’63. “Popular” Anthony William “Tony” Spadafora (75 Emerald St.) was a “swimming, football, and music enthusiast.” Tony works at Broadway Piano Exchange and his bio reads he “will win a prominent place in whatever profession he chooses.” • The future Mrs. Spadafora, Lucille Claire Trevisone of 93 Suff olk St., is a typist for the Blue & Gold but after school she “waits on customers at Jordan Marsh in Boston.” “Browneyed Lucy” is a big sports fan, excelling as a swimmer, and plans a career as a medical secretary. I never knew Tony, but I did know Lucille, one of the nicest, one of the sweetest human beings I have ever met. She is dearly missed, taken from us too damn soon. • Malden celebrities of note graduating in ’63... Local legend Harvey William Nadler of 269 Ferry St. (where he still resides today) “never ran short of time in serving his class as a student council member, a decorator for the sophomore dance, and as a right fi elder on the baseball team.” “Dependable Nad” has a “natural” ability in French and looks forward to teaching French in the future after visiting “la belle France.” I don’t believe Nad ever pursued a career in education and not sure he ever visited France (I know he made a memorable trip to NYC as a child, read below), but Harvey did succeed in life. A gentleman and a street scholar, the affable Harvey Nadler will always be one of my favorite Malden landsmen. • Vincent Joseph Minervini of 147 Oakland St. earned a sweater and a letter as a member of the M.H.S. football team and was also a recipient of a Gold Key and a citation for his “outstanding artistic achievements.” His high school photo shows a handsome young man with jet black hair, a cross between Victor Mature and Tony Curtis. I spotted Vinny last week at the Italian American Citizens Club; he amazingly still has jet black hair, still has Hollywood good looks although resembling an older version of Victor Mature and Tony Curtis at this point in life (insert smiley face). Vinny never stopped creating art, by the way. I’ve seen his stuff ; it is really good. • William Joseph “Billy” Furlong (995 Eastern Ave. – across the street from Adam’s Plaza) was a baseball and basketball star winning numerous basketball trophies, including the Outstanding Student Athlete Award, as well as the Citizenship Award. Billy was also a member of the baseball and hockey teams at the C.Y.O. A truly gifted athlete – I didn’t know Billy growing up but heard of his legend playing sports throughout the city as a youngster. His little brother Johnny was a chip off the old block following in his brother’s large footsteps as an outstanding athlete in his own right. • Robert DiGiovanni (196 Adams St.) was (according to his bio) a “tall, dark, and handsome” athlete who enjoys travel with a “goal of going west someday.” Robert, did you ever make it out west? As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – in case you don’t know the legacy of one our most famously celebrated residents, Herbert L. Jackson, here is a small glimpse (check out the Herbert L. JackMUSINGS| SEE PAGE 16

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 13, 2024 Page 9 MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL: MHS ‘Senior Sunrise’ draws a large crowd to welcome new day, school year Back to School Night/Open House planned for Thursday night, Sept. 19 By Steve Freker M ost high school principals arrive at their buildings for the start of the school day well before the opening bell. For instance, Malden High School eighth-year Principal Chris Mastrangelo usually is at his desk between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. each school day, ahead of the 7:45 a.m. bell to start the homeroom period before the first class. So, when he pulled up to Macdonald Stadium on Pearl Street on the first full day of the school year last week at about 5:15 a.m., it was a bit early, even by his watch. Mastrangelo was at the football stadium to open the gates at the request of members of the Malden High School Senior Class of 2024, whose aim was to embark on what they hoped was a new school tradition, “Senior Sunrise.” Much to the MHS principal’s surprise, there were dozens of his students waiting for him. “Not even 5:30 in the morning and we’ve already got a big representation of our Senior Class showing their school spirit,” Mastrangelo said. “What a great way to start the day!” The numbers grew as the clock inched along, and the sun indeed began its ascent in the skies so that over 100 students were on hand to participate in what has become a national trend. The “Senior Sunrise” is a tradition that was started over a decade ago and is celebrated across the United States at many different schools. This tradition is usually hosted at the beginning of the year to signify seniors starting their final year together to add another special memory to the many they will be sharing this school year. “This event by our Senior Class really fits in with the theme of our whole school year, which is ‘Let’s Make it Happen,’” Mastrangelo said. “School safety along with academic progress and success are our highest priorities every year. This year we are focusing on our positive and welcoming school culture and this is just another way of showing it.” BACK TO SCHOOL/OPEN HOUSE: set at Malden High School on Thursday, September 19, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. At about 5:15 a.m., getting ready for “Senior Sunrise” were these members of the Class of 2024.

Bay Colony and “godfather” of Malden By Inna Babitskaya J oseph Hills (1601/02–1688), one of the first settlers of Malden and godfather of the city, was also among the main lawmakers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was born in the parish of Great Burstead, Essex, England, on March 3, 1601/02, to linen draper George Hills and his wife Mary Symonds. The family was prosperous and wealthy. Joseph’s future was determined. Following the family tradition, he became the draper, but unlike his father, he worked as a woolen draper (dealer in woolen cloths of different kinds). On July 22, 1624, Joseph Hills married Rose Clarke in Billericay, a small town located 25 miles east of Central London. Joseph and Rose decided to settle in Billericay and their elder children were born there. That town was very useful for Hills as Great Burstead, UK Maldon, UK Maldon had a very interesting and long history since the Bronze Age. Maldon was a regional trading center that was known for the wool export. Hills’ business was very successful and prosperous. He lived in Maldon for six years. However, the increasing pressure on Puritans forced Joseph Hills to change dramatically his own fate and the lives of his family. Many of his friends and clients had already moved overseas, seeking religious freedom. In their letters, they wrote about the wonderful opportunities for life and business in the colonies. So, in 1638, Joseph Hills beWoolen draper a trader. However, in 1632, Hills and his family moved to another Essex city, Maldon, where his other three children were born. came a stockbroker or “undertaker” on the voyage aboard Susan and Ellen. He usually used that ship for the transportation of goods from Maldon to London. The ship left London on April 11, 1638, with her master, Edward Payne, and arrived in New England on July 17, 1638. Joseph Hills and his family first settled in Charlestown near the marketplace. According to the town records, on “July 30, 1638, Mr. Joseph Hills was admitted a townsman and granted 25 acres of land on Mystic Side by Mr. Coitmore’s lot, and 50 more after the great lots are finished.” Very soon after arrival to the colony, Joseph Hills began to actively participate in the town life and earned great respect in the colony as a politician and a lawyer. Many colonists noted his ability to understand the causes of the existing conflicts and to reconcile the opposing parties. In just two years, Joseph and Rose Hills became the members of the First Church of Charlestown in 1640. In 1644, Hills became a selectman. In 1645, he was admitted freeman and, according to the state records, was the first named by the General Court on a committee “to set out lots to the settlers of Nashaway plantation.” In 1646, he began to work on framing the first code of colonial laws as a member of the committee that included Herbert Pelham, Increase Nowell, Rev. Thomas Shepard, Rev. John Knowles and Capt. Edward Johnson. In 1646, that committee reported to the General Court the first codification of the colonial law using the statutes of England.

Hills’ predecessors in that work were famous colonial minister Rev. John Cotton and noted clergyman and pamphleteer Nathaniel Ward. Unlike Hills, both of them had college education. Rev. John Cotton (1585–1652) was a prominent minister, theologian and outstanding orator. He graduated from Trinity College and Emmanuel College, Cambridge. In 1633, he and his wife immigrated to New England. In May 1636, Cotton was appointed to a committee to create colonial laws based on the Bible. He wrote “Moses, His Judicialls,” which was not adopted and not printed in the colony but published in London in 1641. In 1641, Cotton published “An Abstract of the Laws of New England as They Are Now Established.” While that legal code was only partly used in MassaThe Hills’ house in Malden, Massachusetts Bay Colony chusetts, it became the basis for the New Haven Colony’s legal system. Nathaniel Ward (1578–1652) studied law at Emmanuel College of Oxford University and practiced as a barrister in England; later he became the minister. In 1634, Ward immigrated to Massachusetts. In 1639, he wrote for the colony “The Body of Liberties,” which was based on Common Law, Magna Carta and the Old Testament. Though it was adopted by the General Court in December 1641 for a trial of three years, it was not printed.

This unlocks affordability for residents across the MBTA service area, including in the Gateway Cities. This expansion will be the first reduced fare program to include The RIDE. As part of this change, Senior users of The RIDE will also be eligible for half-priced fares on both Standard and Premium RIDE trips. “Equity in transportation is vital and income-eligible reduced fares mean we are supporting increased mobility access for all,” said Transportation Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt. “This is a proud moment for the MBTA as we make transit more affordable. Under the leadership of the Healey-Driscoll Administration and the advocacy of Secretary Tibbits-Nutt, income eligible reduced fares are now a reality across all of our modes of travel…. On behalf of the many advocates who have championed this initiative, this is a giant step that allows the public we serve and those that rely on mass transportation an opportunity to use it, improving quality of life, boosting economic mobility, and connecting people and communities,” said MBTA General Manager/ CEO Phillip Eng. “One of Malden’s greatest strengths is public transit, and it just got stronger thanks to the Healey-Driscoll Administration expanding the low-fare program to include eligible riders who are aged 26-64 with reduced fares of approximately 50 percent,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “For many of our residents who depend on public transit in their daily lives this new initiative will create new opportunities such as furthering their education, going to work, or having more disposable income for their groceries and housing needs. Like many new initiatives, this one has been in the works for the last decade, HOMEOWNERSHIP | FROM PAGE 1 project,” said TND Executive Director Rafael Mares. This meeting will be conducted in a hybrid manner. The in-person meeting will be held at Malden City Hall (215 Pleasant St.) in Conference Room but it wasn’t until the HealeyDriscoll Administration not only prioritized it but allocated sufficient funding has it become a reality. Thank you to them and everyone involved with this great announcement!” The online application is simple and can be completed in English, Spanish, Portuguese, simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Haitian Creole or Vietnamese. The launch also includes the availability of in-person support at five locations around the MBTA service area in partnership with ABCD and the Massachusetts Association for Community Action (MASSCAP) network. An additional 31 locations will become available for service during fall 2024. Riders can apply online at mbta.com/income-eligible. Program participants can demonstrate eligibility via existing enrollment in programs with a cutoff of 200 percent of the federal poverty level (or lower), including Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Transitional Assistance for Families and Dependent Children (TAFDC), Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled & Children (EAEDC), MassHealth CarePlus, MassHealth Family Assistance, MassHealth Limited, MassHealth Standard and MASSGrant. As part of the program launching tomorrow, RIDE customers enrolled in the Senior or income-eligible reduced fare programs will also be able to use an online form to link their reduced fare eligibility to their RIDE accounts and receive a discounted rate on Standard or Premium RIDE trips. Additionally, young people with low income already enrolled in the Youth Pass will be guided to enroll in the new program with the Youth Pass program discontinued on October 31. The MBTA is committed to providing reliable, accessible transportation to all and is implementing this new, expanded reduced-fare eligibility that will make all MBTA transportation modes available and affordable to income-eligible individuals.

This reduced fare program will make traveling around greater Boston more accessible and affordable. We will continue to take steps to make the cost of living more affordable for all in the Commonwealth.” State Representative Paul Donato (D-35th Middlesex): “The launch of the reduced fare program for eligible MBTA riders marks a historic step in making public transportation more affordable and accessible for all that live in the Commonwealth. This program will not only assist low-income riders, but it will also promote a greater equity in our public transportation system. It will further ensure that all residents will have the opportunity to travel the state using the MBTA. Thank you to Governor Healey, Lieutenant Governor Driscoll, General Manager Eng and Secretary Tibbits-Nutt.” State Representative Steven Ultrino (D-33rd Middlesex): “This expansion to the MBTA’s reduced fare program takes us another step closer to fare equity and will greatly improve access to public transit for low-income riders across our Commonwealth, especially in Gateway Cities. I am also excited to witness the MBTA’s collaboration with ABCD, a community organization that has been a longtime community partner in Malden. Working with ABCD and MASSCAP physical locations, this program ensures that all eligible riders can access affordable and reliable public transit. Thank you again Governor Healey, Lieutenant Governor Driscoll, General Manager Eng, and Secretary Tibbits-Nutt for highlighting this initiative on the ground in Malden today!” State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-32nd Middlesex): “I am excited to see the implementation of the MBTA’s income-eligible reduced fare program. I proudly joined the legislature in supporting this program through our appropriation to the MBTA’s operating budget and through revenue generated from the Fair Share Amendment. With public transportation so critical for the 32nd Middlesex District, this greater access to ridership will empower families to access public transit, make our communities healthier, and aid the Commonwealth in meeting state climate goals.”

Together, these artists have enriched Malden’s public spaces by transforming ordinary switchboxes into vibrant ~ Guest Commentary ~ Remembering a Day in Our Lives By Jim Fabiano wonder if anyone still remembers? Has it evolved into a date in history only seen in textbooks or in on-line searches? Since that day we have experienced many times that are hard and changed our lives. The Covid-19 pandemic must be one of them with the ending of the war in Afghanistan being another that altered the way we viewed our nation and society. I still remember that day in my class with my students; that day when all our histories changed, that day I spend most of my life trying to not only understand, but to also believe. I just couldn’t do it. I just couldn’t express what I was feeling in words. I knew every one of those people who were condemned to die. I didn’t know their faces or their names, but I knew them all. They were husbands and wives of families working to make the people they were responsible for safe and comfortable. They were the children of families whose hard work and perseverance made their families proud. They were the grandparents who were almost ready to live out their lives doing something they had dreamed they wanted to do. They were also the young and tough men and women who decided their lives would not be equated by the dollar bill. They had decided their legacy would represent the best of the human spirit. They were the first to respond to people needing help. I They will be last ones we will find. There are certain days in our lives that define who we are and the path we will take in life. Mine occurred on November 22, 1963. I remember what I was doing and where I was. Hell, I even remember what I was wearing. I look at my students and realize that their day will be filled with unspeakable horror. Their defining moment will include hate, fear, and disbelief. My day started like all my other days. I was concerned with things that now have little importance. I was giving a test in one of my chemistry courses when my computer reported that one of the towers in New York City had been hit. I felt sorrow that such an accident could occur. But it was an accident, and accidents happen all the time. I decided to turn on a television that was located on the wall behind my desk at the front of my room. Another defining moment in my life had begun. A new defining moment for my students was about to be born. We watched in disbelief. The test no longer existed. The silence in the room was overcome by the crackled sounds coming from my old television located on the wall at the front of my room. One of my students came to my desk and asked if this was real. I told her it was, and, in her eyes, I saw a bit of hate because I didn’t tell her that this was some special effect from an old disaster movie. As she returned to her seat all I could say was, “I’m sorry.” We then watched as one of the towers burned. We watched brave men and women with unknown faces and names run toward the building to help. To do the jobs, they were trained to do. They wore thick black coats with bright yellow stripes, some with tanks draped across their back. They didn’t hesitate. They ran toward something they knew they had never seen before. They ran toward the disaster because they wanted to help. We continued to stare at my television located on the wall at the front of my room when we saw another plane. We watched in horror as we saw it disappear into the other tower and then explode through the other side. I didn’t hear anyone gasp or even breathe. I just heard total silence from my class, who was supposed to be taking a chemistry test. In a few seconds I heard one of my students exclaim, “Independence Day.” He had just spoken what they must have all been thinking. This couldn’t be real. It was never supposed to be real. We were promised that it would never be real. We watched as two of our nation’s grandest architectural marvels burned and filled the sky with smoke. We watched more of our nation’s finest run toward what seemed unreal. They did it because they were trained to do so. They did it because they wanted to. The commentators bellowed this was the worst kind of terrorist attack and that it could not be happening in our nation. All of us in my room heard little from the television located on the wall behind my desk in the front of my room. We only saw what was happening. The silence in my room was replaced by short almost silent sighs. I am not sure if it was coming from my students or from me. The pictures that were coming from my television located on the wall behind my desk at the front of my room now started to show something else. The fiery towers were no longer billowing smoke above a city that was never supposed to sleep. The pictures now showed another building in flames. A shorter building that was thought to be more powerful than any other building in the history of life. A building that was now broken and in flames. Once again, my students and I watched brave men and women with unknown faces and names run toward the building to help. To do the jobs, they were trained to do. They wore thick black coats with bright yellow stripes, some with tanks draped across their back. They did not hesitate. They ran toward something they knew they had never seen before. They ran toward the disaster because that was what they were supposed to do. “Are we at war, Mr. Fabiano?” I looked up and stared into the eyes of a large young man who appeared to be both afraid and angry. Before I could answer him, I noticed that my entire class was staring at me and waiting for my reply. They all had faces and names I knew. They were all destined to become the family leaders of tomorrow and the people that are trained to go into places simply to help other people. Before I could answer I watched all their eyes reach toward the television located on the wall behind my desk at the front of my room. They watched with their mouths open and in an attempt to close their minds as the spiked steeples above the burning towers started to spiral in a macabre kind of dance that made them disappear into a dense translucent fog. I knew I didn’t have to answer the question. It was answered for us all. The rest of my day was filled with the times that will be forever etched in all our minds. We watched the husbands and wives of families working to make the people they were responsible for safe and comfortable disappear. We watched the children of families whose hard work and perseverance made them their family’s pride being forced to leave their lives. We watched the grandparents who were almost ready to live out their lives doing something they had dreamed they could do never realize their dream because they were destined by someone else not to do so. I just couldn’t do it. I just couldn’t express what I was feeling in words. I still can’t. (Jim Fabiano is a retired teacher and writer living in York, Maine.)

Eagles Girls Soccer kicks off 2024 season with 2-0 win over MC By Emily Brennan T he Mystic Valley girls’ soccer team opens the year 1-0 following a 2-0 win over Malden Catholic at Eastern Avenue on Wednesday night. The talent and athleticism showcased by each player contributed signifi cantly to this thrilling win. Starting goalie Emily DeLeire was kept busy in the fi rst half, as the freshman made 15 saves to keep the game scoreless. Junior Katie Guo continued her strong form from last year by shooting on net twice but was not able to capitalize on either shot. Malden Catholic outshot Mystic Valley in the first half but could not break through despite keeping the Eagles hemmed in in their own end. Mystic Valley hit the ground running, using the opening minutes of the second half to set a tone for the rest of the contest by controlling the ball in the off ensive end. Junior Lucia Antonucci made it a 1-0 contest for the Eagles after connecting on an assist from senior captain Abby Ssewankambo. Malden Catholic had two more shots, and a corner kick, but were unable to take back an advantage. In the fi nal fi ve minutes, Antonucci added her second goal, unassisted. Malden Catholic moved the ball against a very stubborn defense but did not fi nd the back of the net at Lucia Antonucci Tabatha Tumbry all. The hosts were able to continue to press for the remainder of the game to give the Mystic Valley Eagles a 2-0 win at home. “I was proud of how we turned our game around coming into the second half,” Coach Katie Morales said. “Our off ensive line was strong at pushing through the defensive line and remaining on sides even though they were holding the midfi eld tight.” The Eagles will be the hosts again on Thursday, September 12, for a game against Innovation Academy.

The event was held at Fraser Field in Lynn in mid-August and featured some of the best underclassmen players in New England. Representing Malden High School were Brayan Jose (Class of 2025); Billy Gavin, Ryan McMahon, Colin Okoth and Eudy Francisco (Class of 2026); and Nicholas D’Anna, Davante Layne, Devin Otero Milonopoulos and Jaylen Rivera (Class of 2028). The event began in Lynn 2006 and this was the 18th year under the direction of Tim Fila, who is a coach with the St. Mary’s-Lynn baseball program. Also in his 18th year, as field operations chief, is Malden High School baseball Head Coach Steve Freker. Chris MacDonald of Malden totals up his scores as his teammate looks on. The Lynn Invitational is a three-day event featuring one day of skills evaluations and two days of games. The main attraction is the more than 40 colleges represented at the recruiting event, either head coaches or college coaches. The skills metrics include a timed 60-yard dash; on-field batting practice, where bat exit velocity is measured; defensive infield/outfield where defensive velocity is measured; catcher’s pop time (the time from release of the throw from the plate to second base; and then pitcher’s velocity from the mound in the games. Malden High senior (Class of 2024) Brayan Jose was one of the top performers of the entire event. Jose, a native of the Dominican Republic who is in his third year in the United States and at Malden High, was second overall of the 164 players at the event in the 60-yard dash at 6.74 seconds.

D’Anna managed an RBI single Colon Okoth (Class of 2026) takes a swing. off one of the hardest-throwing pitchers of the tournament, who was firing 87 mph in one of the games. D’Anna – who helped lead the Malden Middle School Tornados to back-toback GBL titles as a seventh- and eighth-grader in the past two years – had an exit velocity of 86 mph in his batting practice session, making the top 15 for the entire field of 164 players. “Our Malden High guys did an excellent job and more than held their own,” Malden High coach Freker said. “We had four eighth-graders who are incoming ninth-graders at MHS and they were the youngest players in this whole event, but they did not play like it, that’s for sure.” “Ryan McMahon and Billy Gavin were both outstanding yard dash time (6.75 seconds) and had the highest outfield defensive velocity (89 mph). on the mound and we have them both for the next two seasons in the spring,” the Malden coach added. “Brayan Jose was one of the most electric players in the tournament,” Freker added. “He talked to four college coaches during the tournament and since Brayan is also an Honor Roll student with a 3.6 grade point average, they are all very interested. It was a very worthwhile week for all of the Malden players.” The Malden coach said it was excellent experience for all the Tornado players, especially the younger ones. “Our incoming freshmen are the only kids in this area who went for the opportunity to play in an event like this. It was really great to see.”

Harvey’s dad bragged that he knew “The Manassa Mauler” and ya know what? He did! They walk into the bar and Jack greets Sam with a bear hug and a loud “hiya pal” greeting.

This legislation dismantles archaic legal barriers to basic parenting responsibilities for modern families, enabling all parents to legally attend and make decisions during medical appointments, manage a child’s finances, participate in educational decisions and provide authorizations for a child’s travel. On August 8, Governor Maura Healey signed the Massachusetts Parentage Act into law as Chapter 166 of the Acts of 2024. “All parents and families should have the same parenting rights and protections, regardless of the gender identity or sexual orientation of the parents or the use of assisted reproduction,” said Senator Lewis. “I’m proud that Massachusetts continues to be a safe and welcoming place for all families MASSACHUSETTS | SEE PAGE 19

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 13, 2024 Page 17 Serial violent robber sentenced to over six years in prison for robbing multiple spas at gunpoint Defendant beat and ducttaped victims A ccording to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce, District of Massachusetts, a Malden, Mass., man, Li Wen Tang, 33,was sentenced on September 3, 2024, in Boston federal court for his role in the armed robberies of two businesses in which he and two others beat and duct-taped victims. He was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton to 78 months in prison and three years of supervised release. In April 2024, Tang pled guilty to two counts of robbery aff ecting commerce after a jury convicted one of Tang’s co-defendants, Alfeu Barbosa, in March 2024 for the same off enses. Barbosa was arrested and charged in June 2022. Tang and Jonas Nunez were later arrested and charged in August and September 2022. All three defendants were subsequently indicted by a federal grand jury. On June 12, 2022, at approximately 8:51 p.m., Tang entered the Balance Refl exology Spa in Brookline pretending to be a customer seeking a massage. Because the victim was the only employee in the spa that night, she locked the door before taking Tang into the back room to begin the massage. Tang asked the victim if there was anyone else in the spa and that if there was, he would like to see them. Almost immediately after the massage had begun, Tang claimed that he no longer wanted a massage because his stomach was upset and demanded a refund. The victim employee stated she had to call her boss to approve the refund. While the victim employee was on the phone in the lobby, Tang unlocked the front door and two masked men – later identifi ed as Barbosa and Nunez – entered the business carrying fi rearms. One of the men hit the victim employee in the face, knocking her to the fl oor, and put a gun to her head. Barbosa and Nunez then pulled the victim by her hair into the back hallway, where they instructed her to be quiet. There, the men proceeded to bind the victim’s wrists and ankles with duct tape and gag her. As they were doing this, Barbosa and Nunez repeatedly yelled at the victim asking, “Where is the money?” The men ransacked ~ Op-Ed ~ Fair Share Amendment is Working as Intended By State Senator Jason Lewis and State Representative Jim O’Day L ess than two years after voters approved the Fair Share Amendment to the Massachusetts constitution, the “millionaire’s tax” is already having a positive impact on Massachusetts. Our state now has a fairer tax system, and we are making transformative investments in education and transportation that are improving residents’ lives. From 2015 to 2022, we were Gray duct-tape on floor (Courtesy photo) the spa for roughly three minutes before locating and stealing approximately $500 along with the victim employee’s cell phone and then exiting. Surveillance footage revealed that all three men had arrived in the same vehicle parked nearby, which they drove away in together following the robbery. Later on the evening of June 12, Barbosa, Nunez and an associate of Barbosa committed a similar robbery of May’s Spa Massage in Stoneham. Specifi - cally, they entered the business wearing masks and firearms and duct-taped several victims who were in the spa. In addition to stealing approximately $600 in cash from the business and victims, Barbosa, Nunez and Barbosa’s associate took three cell phones belonging to three of the female victims present during the robbery, as well as a victim’s license, gift cards and credit and debit cards, before leaving in the same vehicle. Nunez pled guilty and was sentenced on April 18, 2024, to 23 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release. Barbosa was convicted by a federal jury and sentenced on July 17, 2024, to 121 months in prison to be followed three years of supervised release. Acting U.S. Attorney Joshua S. Levy and the FBI’s Special Agent in Charge of the Boston Division, Jodi Cohen, made the sentencing announcement. Valuable assistance was provided by the FBI in New York and the Massachusetts State Police, as well as the Brookline, Stoneham, Boston, Wakefield and New York City Police Departments. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Luke A. Goldworm and Robert E. Richardson of the Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case. proud to be the lead legislative sponsors of the Fair Share Amendment, the constitutional amendment to establish a new 4% surtax on annual incomes exceeding one million dollars, with the revenue dedicated to funding our public schools, colleges, roads, bridges, and public transit. Working alongside the Raise Up Massachusetts coalition of community organizations, faithbased groups, and labor unions, we helped shepherd the amendment through four legislative votes and onto the November 2022 ballot. The Fair Share Amendment was designed to address two related problems: our unfair tax system, and years of inadequate investment in public education and critical transportation infrastructure. We’re already making great progress on both counts. Before Fair Share was passed, the richest one percent of Massachusetts residents paid a lower portion of their income in state and local taxes than did lowerand middle-income taxpayers. But the new Fair Share tax closes most of that gap, with the state’s highest-income residents now paying closer to the same share of their income that the rest of us pay. And because the tax is only applied to the portion of a taxpayer’s annual income that is over $1 million (with that threshold increased annually for infl ation), most of the revenue raised comes from those making more than $5 million – the richest of the rich. As a result, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, Massachusetts is now the seventh most “progressive” state tax system in the country, moving up 10 spots from before voters approved the Fair Share Amendment. While the ultra-rich are paying a little bit more, the Fair Share Amendment is making Massachusetts more aff ordable for everyone else. Since last year, money from Fair Share has enabled every public K-12 student in the state access to free breakfast and lunch at school. Families are saving $1,200 a year per child due to free school meals, and the number of students who are eating a healthy school breakfast and lunch has increased by 24.5% and 16%, respectively. Starting this fall, Fair Share will fund free community college for every student in Massachusetts, covering both tuition and fees as well as a $1,200 stipend for students whose income is less than 125% of the state median to help pay for books and other expenses. We’ve also increased fi nancial aid signifi cantly for students at our public colleges and universities, and campuses are already seeing higher enrollment as a result. At the MBTA, Fair Share is funding hundreds of millions of dollars in much-needed infrastructure improvements, including station and accessibility upgrades, bridge repairs, subway track and signal improvements, and commuter rail projects. And for low-income T riders, the tax now funds a reduced fare program to lower the cost of commuting. For bus riders in other parts of the state, Fair Share is supporting the largest-ever investment in regional transit authorities, allowing them to expand service, eliminate fares, and add new routes. And the new tax has already generated record funding to local cities and towns for road and bridge repairs, so that municipalities can repave more miles each year. Finally, the Fair Share Amendment is supporting record investments in early education and child care, from expanding universal preK to thousands of children in Gateway Cities and rural communities, to providing grants to child care providers so they can serve more children and raise the wages of their educators without hiking tuitions for families. These investments funded by Fair Share are making Massachusetts more aff ordable and equitable for working families and are supporting two key building blocks of a competitive economy: a well-educated workforce and a reliable transportation system. During the years it took to pass the Fair Share Amendment, opponents claimed there would be dire consequences, from millionaires fl eeing the state to tax revenues plummeting. But nearly two years after the Amendment’s passage, those claims are proving to be false. The state collected $2.2 billion in Fair Share revenue during its fi rst full year of implementation, far surpassing the projected amount of $1 billion. And there is no evidence of substantial millionaire fl ight beyond the usual number of retirees who leave each year. In fact, Massachusetts’ population grew in 2023, the fi rst year the Fair Share Amendment was in eff ect, after declining in 2022. With the Fair Share Amendment, Massachusetts asked the state’s wealthiest residents to pay a little more to make much-needed investments in education and transportation. Not even two years later, Fair Share is working as intended, and we’re all better off as a result. Mayors across Massachusetts Urge NO Vote on Question 5 Bipartisan group comes together to protect servers, bartenders and neighborhood restaurants put as risk by ill-conceived ballot question B oston, MA – The Committee to Protect Tips released the first round of Mayors endorsing a No on 5 vote on this November’s ballot. This bipartisan group of Mayors represent every corner of Massachusetts, thousands of neighborhood restaurants, servers, bartenders and other tipped employees. “The more Mayors learn about the impacts Question 5 will have on their communities, the more they join NO on 5,” said Chris Keohan, spokesperson for the Committee to ProVOTE | SEE PAGE 18

Page 18 Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/ Advocate.news.ma INHERITED IRA REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS T he IRS recently finalized its regulations on inherited IRA Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) in July of this year. This area of the tax law has become more and more complicated. The Secure Act involved major tax legislation relating to RMDs when dealing with beneficiaries other than spouses, minor children, beneficiaries less than 10 years younger than the decedent IRA owner and disabled or chronically ill beneficiaries, who are referred to as eligible beneficiaries. The other group of beneficiaries is referred to as ineligible designated beneficiaries (i.e. the non-spouse, et al beneficiaries). An example would be your child. Under the old rule, a child could stretch out the RMDs over his or her life expectancy. This would allow for great tax efficiency as the distributions could be stretched out over 20, 30 or even 40 years. Under the Secure Act, your child is required to deplete the IRA account within 10 years following the year of your death. This is a massive change in tax law. The new regulations now make it clear that if you reached your Required Beginning Date (RBD) at the time of your death, meaning you had already reached the age where you are required to begin taking your RMDs, your child would not only be required to deplete the account by the end of the 10th year following your death, your child would also have to begin taking annual distributions from this IRA account in years 1 through 9, with RMD calculations based upon his or her own life expectancy. This was unclear in the IRS’ previously proposed regulations. In the event you had not reached your RBD and were not required to begin taking your RMDs, your child would not have to take any distributions during years 1 through 9. However, the entire IRA account would have to be completely depleted by the end of the 10th year following the year of your death. It should be noted, that depending on one’s tax position, it may very well be beneficial to actually withdraw funds from the IRA account ratably over that 10 year period to reduce Uncle Sam’s tax bite allowing you to remain in a lower federal tax bracket. The IRS has waived RMDs with respect to inherited IRA’s for calendar years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. However, the RMDs must commence in calendar year 2025. If you inherited an IRA from someone who died in 2020, the account would still have to be depleted by the end of 2030, notwithstanding the fact that RMDs are not required to be taken until 2025. This rule would not apply to surviving spouses and other eligible beneficiaries. These rules are complicated to say the least. There are different rules applying to estates and conduit Trusts that have been named beneficiaries of IRA accounts. Joseph D.

Vote No on 5 for the future of Haverhill and communities across the Commonwealth.” – Melinda Barrett, Haverhill “This out-of-state ballot initiative is an approach that does not work for Massachusetts. Our tipping system has proven to be successful, and the majority of tipped employees prefer it. To ensure our local businesses can continue to prosper, vote NO in November.” – Gary Christensen, Malden “Question 5 will force restaurants to raise prices and our servers and waitstaff will earn less. We need to help our tipped employees and restaurants, not make things harder, while making it even more expensive for everyone else.” – Robert Hedlund, Weymouth “The advocates of this ballot initiative fail to consider the real-world impacts on tipped workers and the businesses that employ them. If passed, Question 5 will hurt the very people it claims to help.” – Patrick Keefe, Revere “The Commonwealth was built on small, local businesses. The passing of this ballot question will create irreversible economic damages within each and every community in Massachusetts.” – Neil Perry, Methuen "I'm supporting the overwhelming majority of servers and bartenders who oppose Question 5 because it will reduce their wages while forcing many restaurants to raise prices. Higher prices and lower wages while we are still struggling with inflation is not what we need in Massachusetts." – Joe Petty, Worcester “Nobody knows the Massachusetts tipping system better than the bartenders, servers, and owners themselves. I worked in restaurants for over 30 years, and it was an occupation that kept my family in our home and food on our table. This could cripple restaurants in the Commonwealth, and particularly my City of Newburyport. To prevent excess, unnecessary financial burdens, it is of utmost importance to vote NO this November.” – Sean Reardon, Newburyport For more information about the campaign, please visit www. protecttips.org.

The Parentage Act continues this work by updating the Commonwealth’s laws so that common paths to parentage may be used equally by all families, regardless of marital status.

He served his county honorably in the United States Army Reserve for many years. He later served in the United States Coast Guard. In retirement, Frank became well known as a performer in “Joey and Maria’s Comedy Wedding Show”. Many people also remember Frank as a crossing guard at the Beebe School in Malden.

In lieu of fl owers, donations in his memory may be made to the American Cancer Society The Parentage Act also makes critical updates to laws related to assisted reproduction, including surrogacy and in-vitro fertilization (IVF). It outlines rights, requirements, procedures and safeguards for parents, donors, surrogates and others involved in the process. Further, it establishes clear paths to parentage for individuals or couples utilizing assisted reproduction and surrogacy in order to provide legal recognition and status prior to the child’s birth. For many families, non-biological parents are their child’s parent in every way except being legally recognized as such. The Parentage Act recognizes the importance of relationships between children and parents in modern families and aff ords individuals who have been acting in a meaningful parental role for a signifi - cant amount of time the opportunity to seek full legal rights befi tting their relationship. It also provides notice, and an opportunity to be heard, to existing parents, and adds safeguards against abuse and protections for domestic violence survivors and military parents. avy eniior avvy S iorn oro a y avvyavy iori by Jim Miller Health Insurance Options for Early Retirees Dear Savvy Senior, I’m going to retire in a few months and need to get some temporary health insurance until I can enroll in Medicare at age 65. What are my options? Early Retiree Dear Early, There are several places early retirees can fi nd health insurance coverage before Medicare kicks in, but the best option for you will depend on your income level, your health care needs and how long you’ll need coverage for. Here’s where to look. Aff ordable Care Act: For most early retirees who aren’t yet eligible for Medicare, the Aff ordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance marketplace, also know as Obamacare, is the best option for getting comprehensive health coverage. And you won’t be denied coverage or charged extra for preexisting health conditions. And, if your income falls below the 400 percent poverty level after you retire – anything below $60,240 for a single or $81,760 for a couple in 2024 – you’ll also be eligible for a subsidy that will reduce your monthly premiums. The ACA also ensures that at least through 2025, households with incomes above that 400 percent poverty level will not have to pay more than 8.5 percent of their income for a benchmark policy. To see how much subsidy you may be eligible for, use Kaiser Family Foundation subsidy calculator at KFF.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator. To shop for ACA plans in your state, visit HealthCare.gov or call 800318-2596. Or, if you want some extra help, contact a certifi ed agent or broker at HealthCare.gov/fi nd-assistance. COBRA: Another temporary health insurance option you may be eligible for is the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). Under this federal law, if you work for a company that has 20 or more employees, you can remain on your employer’s group health plan for at least 18 months – but could last up to 36 months. But be aware that COBRA isn’t cheap. You’ll pay the full monthly premium yourself, plus a 2 percent administrative fee. To learn more, talk to your employer benefi ts administrator or contact the Employee Benefi ts Security Administration (Askebsa.dol.gov; 866-444-3272). If, however, the company you work for has fewer than 20 employees, you may still be able to get continued coverage through your company if your state has “mini-COBRA.” Contact your state insurance department to see if this is available where you live. Short-Term Health Insurance: If you can’t fi nd an aff ordable ACA plan and COBRA is too expensive, another possible option is shortterm health insurance. These plans, which are not available in every state, are cheaper, bare-bones health plans that provide coverage for up to 3 months with a one-month extension available. But be aware that short-term plans don’t comply with the ACA so they can deny sick people coverage, they don’t cover preexisting conditions and they can exclude coverage essentials like prescription drugs. To fi nd and compare short-term health plans, try sites like eHealthInsurance.com or PivotHealth.com. Healthcare sharing ministries: If the previously listed options don’t work for you, another temporary solution could be healthcare sharing ministries (HCSM). These are cost-sharing health plans in which members – who typically share a religious belief – make monthly payments to cover expenses of other members, including themselves. HCSM’s are cheaper than paying full out-of-pocket costs for traditional health insurance but be aware that HCSM’s are not health insurance. They don’t have to comply with the consumer protections of the ACA, and they can also reject or limit coverage for having pre-existing health issues and limit how much you’ll be reimbursed for your medical costs. Preventive care typically isn’t covered either. To look for these plans, comparison shop at the three largest providers – Samaritan Ministries (SamaritanMinistries.org), Medi-Share (MyChristianCare.org), and Christian Healthcare Ministries (Chministries.org). Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Thank you! 781-558-1091 | infowithmango@gmail.com | www.mangorealtyteam.com Real Estate Market Trends: What to Expect The real estate market is experiencing moderate home price increases due to high demand and limited inventory. Buyers should be prepared for competitive bidding, while sellers can take advantage of favorable market conditions to achieve strong sale prices. Staying informed and working with local experts can help navigate these trends effectively. Mortgage Rates: What You Need to Know Mortgage rates remain historically low, offering a valuable opportunity for buyers to secure favorable financing. However, experts predict that rates will rise gradually in the coming months. This makes it a good time for prospective homeowners to act sooner rather than later to lock in advantageous terms and potentially save on long-term interest costs. FOR SALE: Charming home on a picturesque tree-studded lot, blending comfort with convenience. The first floor features a bright family room and an inviting oak kitchen with hardwood floors. The main bedroom offers a private balcony and his-and-her closets. With 2.5 baths, a spacious deck, and a garage, this home is both functional and serene. Set back for privacy yet close to amenities.
