Page 2 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 22, 2021 Friends of the Malden River launch inaugural Malden River Photo Contest T he revitalization of the Malden River is well underway. All one needs to do is come to the shores of the Malden River at River’s Edge Park in Medford or River Green Park in Everett or stand on the Medford Street Bridge in Malden. The restoration of the Malden River from an industrial wasteland back to its long ago natural beauty and grandeur is well underway. Considerable public and private investments at River’s Edge, River Green Park and the proposed new public park at Malden’s DPW have resulted in renewed interest and appreciation for this local jewel. The Friends of the Malden River (FoMR) invite community members and the general public to document these positive changes by participating ELECTION | FROM PAGE 1 "We are hoping that everyone takes the opportunity to get out and vote," Desiderio said, noting that many of the municipal races in recent years have been very close results.

Desiderio also explained how new voting assistance is available from the city of Malden for voters who are either hearing or sight impaired and who may want to vote independently, without direct assistance from another person. "Some people do not want help, they do so much on their own despite their impairment, and want to vote by themselves as well," she said. Responding to an inquiry from Ward 3 Councillor Amanda Linehan, Desiderio explained that Malden has the benefit of having all poll worker positions filled for this November 2 election, "but when we shift to three precincts per ward next year in 2022, there will be a need to staff eight additional precincts (with poll workers)." Desiderio talked about continuing efforts to reach out to ing paths at River’s Edge Park in Medford or stroll through the amazing, newly created River Green Park in Everett. You can easily walk to any of these locations or bike along the Northern Strand Community Trail adjoining or near the trails and walkways lining the Malden River. So, discover the Malden River again!

Desiderio said it would be helpful if all voters continued to follow the COVID-19 related protocols which will still be in effect at the polls, which will include social distancing for those waiting in line as well as a mask-wearing policy for all those either working at the polls or voting. Desiderio said all election materials including sample ballots which voters may review for each of the city's eight wards are available on the city's Election Page on the Malden city website at www.cityofmalden.org.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 22, 2021 Page 3 City Council approves historic change to city voting map: three precincts each ward in 2022 State legislators must review proposed municipal changes before fi nal ward lines drawn By Steve Freker S ome Malden voters could be casting ballots in different polling places in future elections if changes to the city voting map are approved at the state legislative level. The Malden City Council on Tuesday night voted unanimously to approve changes to the city voting map which would redraw ward boundary lines and move some city blocks into diff erent wards. In a historic move, including in the changes was an increase from two precincts per ward to three precincts, which is believed to be the fi rst time ever in Malden. While the City Council on Tuesday night passed the new voting map proposal unanimously, the changes still must receive approval from the state legislature’s Redistricting Committee before going into eff ect for the 2022 state and federal election. Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon, other City Councillors, City Clerk Greg Lucey and State Representative Steve Ultrino (D-Malden, 33rd Middlesex) all stressed that the voting map changes do not aff ect this year’s 2021 municipal election – set for November 2 – in any way. “We just want everyone to be very clear. Any changes in ward lines or adding a precinct would take eff ect in 2022. It would not aff ect this year’s election whatsoever,” Councillor Condon said. “There will be plenty of notice before any changes are made.” Malden Director of Community Development Alex Pratt, who gave a detailed analysis of Malden’s Census 2020 results before the discussion of the voting map changes, explained that the process of redrawing ward boundary lines is done following every census count.

Public health officials are urging Americans, especially older adults, to get their seasonal flu vaccine early this year, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic still in existence. Those over 65 years of age are more susceptible to both the flu and COVID-19. Both diseases prompt an inflammatory response in individuals, and people with underlying health conditions, such as coronary artery disease, are already at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It’s more important than ever to get a flu shot this fall – and the sooner the better. And if you have not received both doses of your COVID-19 Vaccine, please do so as soon as possible as well. Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) wants to remind individuals that it is offering free transportation services via one of its transportation providers to adults 60 years and older to local COVID-19 and flu vaccine sites. You do not have to wait until you have booked an appointment to be vaccinated or to receive a flu shot to receive free transportation for COVID-19 vaccinations, including any booster shots recommended by your primary care physician along with transportation for those electing to receive the annual flu vaccine. The CDC stated that the Pfizer COVID-19 booster is now available to individuals 65 years of age and older and individuals 60 years of age and older at risk for severe COVID-19 due to certain underlying medical conditions. MVES understands that older adults are more susceptible to the flu and pandemic and feels it is important to help all older residents in its 11 communities served get vaccinated for both, so if you live in Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Melrose, North Reading, Reading, Revere, Stoneham, Wakefield or Winthrop, give MVES a call at 781324-7705.

The program will cover the cost of membership dues for Malden businesses and fi rst-time members of the Malden Chamber of Commerce with 50 percent of the funds slated for traditionally underserved businesses, such as women- and minority-owned businesses. “This effort to support our businesses through these Chamber memberships is an investment into our business eco-system that goes beyond today,” said DeMaria. “It is the hope that this fi nancial infl ux will off er our business community a hand up rather than a handout.” Chamber membership will assist businesses access the networking and support systems that the Malden Chamber has provided during its 130 years of existence in Malden. Additionally, the remaining funds are slated for fi rst-time business memberships that the Chamber determines are strategically benefi cial to the overall membership. This new infl ux of members will give the Chamber necessary funding to provide myriad business support services, such as seminars and sharing best practices. The Business Support Team is comprised of Councillor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria, Business Development Offi cer Kevin Duff y and Resident Member/Business Owner Kashawna Harling.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 22, 2021 ~ Guest Commentary ~ What is your most meaningful accomplishment? I By Craig Spadafora, Councillor-at-Large t’s a question I get asked all the time on the campaign trail, and it’s one that I’m glad to hear people ask. After all, while a new candidate can promise things without any track record to point to as evidence of the ability to get the job done, those of us who have been around should rightfully be expected to point to meaningful, concrete accomplishments. While I have many things I’m proud of, including the project that has breathed new life into our downtown with the reopening of Pleasant Street, the answer here SABATINO INSURANCE AGENCY Call for a Quote 617-387-7466 Or email Rocco@sabatino-ins.com We cover: * Auto * Home * Boat * Renter * Condo * Life * Multi-Policy Discounts * Commercial 10% Discounts * Registry Service Also Available is fairly easy. For me, it was my creation of Malden City Ordinance section 9.24.010, “Regulation of Lead Pipes in Residential Housing”. There’s been quite a bit of talk over this campaign season about lead lines from many campaigns, and rightfully so. It’s a topic that never got enough attention. I was talking one day to a realtor about home sales, and that’s when the idea hit me. The sale of property represented the single best time to require that the home being sold is free of lead service pipes. Homeowners cashing out of a hot real estate market have the ability to be part of the solution. Similar to the way we use a sale transaction to ensure proper adherence to the critical need for smoke detectors, this leverage point would allow us to impact literally hundreds of homes each year and put them ‘in the rearview mirror’ as it relates to lead lines. The City Council showed what can happen when we collaborate and leave the divisiveness behind when we strengthened my original draft by also requiring ~ Op-Ed ~ Getting the job done – respectfully Y ou deserve a Councillor who, first and foremost, respects YOU. No matter if that is in a face-to-face conversation, listening to you over the phone, or responding to you online. You deserve to be listened to and heard – not attacked.

We all have different viewpoints and opinions which is a strength, not a weakness. The fi rst idea isn’t always the best idea. The best ideas come from dialogue and discussion that result in compromise and collaboration. I promise that I will continue to listen to you, respect your opinions, and empower you as we improve our beautiful community. You deserve to ask the hard questions, and it is my responsibility to fi nd solutions. You deserve a councillor who will work at all hours to get the job done right! Malden’s Ward 4 inherited infrastructure that was neglected for decades. Our roads were falling apart, we had the most lead water pipes in the state (by percentage), and our gas lines were leaking and dangerous. We came together, wrote petitions, and we are accomplishing those goals together. But we still have a lot more work to do! You deserve a councillor who will try to follow the law. Someone who will expect his colleagues to do the same. You deserve someone who will take your hard questions and bring those to the people in charge. You deserve a councillor who will get to the bottom of what is going on, whether or not, it ruffles some feathers. We have accomplished so much together in just a short amount of time. Increased property values, new businesses, and safe infrastructure. Now is the time to move forward, not backwards. You deserve an experience leader with a bold vision that can get the job done right. Remember – actions speak louder than words. On November 2nd, it is my hope that you will choose fact over fiction. I would be honored to have your vote to continue to solve the challenges we face in Malden’s Ward 4, together.

Taken together, these three sections of our ordinances have played a meaningful role in Malden truly tackling this problem once and for all. I’m sure there are a few homeowners who would prefer to not have to pay for this change when selling. While I appreciate the desire to maximize the proceeds of each sale, I’m proud to tell those selling that yes, I’m to blame for that requirement.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 22, 2021 ~ Political Announcement ~ Page 7 John Matheson announces candidacy for City Councillor-at-Large I am running for Malden City Council at-Large this November, and I am asking for your support. I cannot thank you enough for the support you have given me in the past. We accomplished great things together, but our work is not done. Our city needs us now. These are challenging times. This pandemic has touched us all, with many lost, and many more who mourn. Small businesses are under extreme pressure, and unemployment remains high. Meanwhile, politics and race have divided our country like never before. With the right leadership, we can heal these wounds. I will be a source of stability and experience on the Council. As a lifelong resident and local business owner, who attended the Malden schools, and has served on its City Council, I know this community. Through my four terms on the Council, I remained independent of political pressures. I looked to the residents to lead on big issues like the deadly intersection at Fellsway and Highland Ave., John Matheson Candidate for Councillor-at-Large and the Malden Hospital site, which was nearly overdeveloped with hundreds of apartments and tons of traffi c. I was your tireless councilor and advocate then, and I will be that councilor for you again. I have complete and total support for our public safety, our veterans, and our American Flag. Last year there were several attempts on the Council to defund the police, including a motion to cut their funding for bullet proof vests by 50%. This is the “representation” we get from politicians who care more about impressing their political circle than acting in the best interests of our city. On Election Day, people have the power to change that. Let’s get back to the basics. I fi rst ran in 2007 because the sidewalks on my street were badly broken and my neighbors were getting hurt. Fixing sidewalks and paving streets are as important as ever. I also advocate for planting trees and making our city beautiful. In 2015, I applied to make Malden a Tree City USA, and it is making a diff erence in our neighborhoods. These things generate pride in our city, while raising our reputation and property values. I need your help in asking all of our Malden friends and neighbors for their vote on November 2nd. In return, you will have my commitment to bring steady leadership that will get us back on track. It is hard to express how grateful I am that you have given me this chance to do some good in our little piece of the world. Thank you! John P.

If you meet them on the street, stop them; take advantage of their wisdom, their knowledge and their Malden sports history recall. You’ll regret it if you do not. On a side note, if they start to ramble, do not interrupt. Al Barriss was an integral part of possibly the best MHS boys’ basketball team in the school’s history. They were stacked! They shot well, were defensive demons, and nobody rebounded better than these kids. Led by the outstanding jump shooting of Co-captain Donnie Moore and Willie Barron, by the playmaking and defense of Al (Barriss) and the rebounding of Elliot Guenter and Co-captain Johnny Keats, that 1960 team went 17-1, reeling off 17 straight victories after a season-opening loss. I’ll write more about this team after I do some research. Congratulations to Michele and Billy Settemio on the closing just last week of a wicked nice condo in Naples, Fla. – well deserved by this wonderful power couple from Edgeworth. Billy, all that I require is that Ballantine Ale always be stocked, and you can have me for the entire Naples winter social season. Contrary to popular belief, our lives did not come to an end when Facebook crashed on Monday, October 4. If you watched the Malden City Council Forum on September 30 on UMA (formerly Malden Access TV) you probably wondered, as I did, why on earth Ward 1’s Peg Crowe had to lead off each question.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 22, 2021 Page 9 MALDEN TODAY | FROM PAGE 8 three regularly when they were writing for the local print media and was in awe of their knowledge, wisdom and sincerity. In 2007 I felt that local points of interest for those of us who grew up in Malden or who had recently made Malden their home weren’t being served and thought that local coverage was adequate at best. I wished to continue in the tradition of Mr. Mini, Mr. Squires and Mr. O’Brien; to inform as well as entertain those in Malden who love the city as much as I do (and as much as they did). I have no formal training besides writing a “newsletter” back in the eighth grade at Beebe Jr. High School called “The 8-7 Times.” The “8” standing for the eighth grade and the “7” standing for those of us who were not trying very hard in their scholastic pursuits. The newsletter consisted of eighth grade gossip with some afterschool shenanigans thrown in: stuff like who had a crush on whom or who drank too much Apple Wine at Tina Gaudette’s house, the Rez or behind the Glenwood on Friday night. Of course, the occasional sniping at our least favorite educators (My favorite: Mr. Jim O’Connell, who set me correct those many years ago). I would write it up, print up a bunch of copies and hand them out to all my friends and classmates (the 1971 print version of Facebook!). One day, my eighth grade English teacher, Mrs. Bothwell, found a copy. She asked me to stick around after class; she “wanted to talk to me.” That dear lady told me how much she enjoyed reading my newsletter and that I had some “real potential” in journalism if I applied myself. I was flattered. I tucked that conversation into my memory bank, never forgot it, but nonetheless, sadly continued my scholastic downward spiral. I acquired my love for print media from my father. He was an avid newspaper reader. A self-taught man, he would devour The Globe, the Herald, The New York Times, Newsweek, Life, Time Magazine and just about anything else he could get his hands on. I got the newspaper bug first by reading his sports pages and eventually progressing to the editorial pages. His education, as well as mine, was greatly enhanced by our love of print media. Fast forward 40 years: I was having a Miller High Life at the Italian American Citizens Club (before they carried Ballantine Ale, of course), probably in mid-2007, with a then close friend. He was writing an occasional column at the time for the Malden Observer. I told him how much I enjoyed reading it. I told him I would love to try to write an article and get it printed. He gave me the email address of the editor at the time, and the rest is history. By no means am I Kevin Cullen but I hope that my love of Malden as well as the love for the many friends that I have made over the years translates into these columns. I have had a few missteps along the way but have learned from each one. I hope my columns haven’t offended anybody. That was never my intention with anything I’ve ever written. Please accept apologies if I have. I would like to thank all of you who have enjoyed them and have told me so. I am truly humbled and sincerely appreciate your kind words. In closing, I realize that my columns may be “Edgeworthcentric,” that I may dwell on Ward 2 a bit much, but that is where I grew up, that is where my heart is, that will always be my home. So bear with me, I’ll get to the rest of the city – eventually. Postscript: In the “you can’t put your arms around a memory” department; three years gone, Steve (Bouley) 10.23.18 to 10.23.21.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 22, 2021 ~ Political Endorsement ~ GBLC endorses eight City Council candidates T he Greater Boston Labor Council (GBLC), the umbrella labor union organization for the Boston area, has officially endorsed eight candidates for city council elections in Malden, citing their ongoing commitment to union members and to creating an equitable economy. The Greater Boston Labor Council represents more than 100,000 union members in the region, including many in Malden. The GBLC has endorsed the following candidates: Karen Colón Hayes, Carey Macdonald, Amanda Linehan, Ryan O’Malley, Ariane Taylor, Stephen Winslow, Michelle Luong and Nate Bae Kupel. “Malden needs leaders that not only understand what working families are up against, but are ready to tackle big challenges and reimagine our city to build back better for a truly equitable economy,” said GBLC Executive Secretary-Treasurer Darlene Lombos. Lombos continued: “We believe that these leaders will tackle the urgent challenges of our time head on, from quality jobs, equitable development, affordable housing, pay equity, affordable and accessible child care and the escalating climate crisis. We hope that the voters of Malden will support labor’s endorsed candidates. With public support for unions at a 56-year high, people from all walks of life understand that a society is stronger when unions are strong. Together with unions, elected leaders can help bring equity and prosperity to all city residents.” Artists and poets sought for “Lines Connecting Lines” exhibit W e are seeking visual artists and poets for an exhibit of poetry and art that will highlight local poets, provide artistic stimulation and inspiration for artists in the area and further enhance the enjoyment and understanding of both art forms for the general public.

Although they continue to sell meat and poultry, they have added fresh seafood to their selections. Jose is employed during the day at a fish business, so their fish is brought in fresh. Following in the footsteps of the previous owner, they have a small stock of exotic meat readily available, but they are more than happy to bring in more when requested (within reason, of course).

(Advocate photos by Tara Vocino) GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE NOTEBOOK: Everett continues GBL gridiron dominance with another showdown win Malden Boys Soccer hanging onto postseason hopes; Tornado football blanked on road by Lynn Classical By Steve Freker ****** A nother "Showdown Night," another big win for head coach Rob DiLoreto's Crimson Tide football team. The two teams that were highlighted to potentially give the Everett squad the most pushback before the first kickoff of the year was held in 2021 were its last two opponents: Lynn Classical, two weeks ago, and Revere, this past Friday night. Everett's response? Domination...and a pair of big wins. Friday night was the JC Clerveaux Show as the senior back scored a career-high four TDs in a 37-11 win on the road at Revere. In the previous game, Everett's special teams play led the way in shutout trouncing of the Classical Rams at home. Everett has gotten down to power-run football first; anything else second on offense and it has carried the Tide to a perfect, 5-0 record. That undefeated mark includes a perfect 4-0 GBL mark as well. Malden Boys Soccer and Captains Christian Osorno, Aman Chhetri and Andre Oliveira are looking for one more win. (Advocate Photo/Henry Huang) Everett has racked up about two miles of rushing offense since the season began, fueled by a slew of productive running backs, and led by Clerveaux and Cam Mohammed, fronted by a steady offensive line. The Tide can clinch at least a share of what would be Everett's 25th GBL Championship since 1992 with a win at home over 1-5 Medford. Kickoff is at 6:00 p.m. tonight. A win tonight combined with a win at home next week (Friday, October 29, 6:00 p.m.) on the road at Malden would make Everett sole Greater Boston League champions, in the first full GBL season since 2015. Malden was 1-4 overall (1-2 GBL) heading into last night's home game versus Lynn English. Malden Boys Soccer needed one more win for postseason berth Head coach Jeremiah Smith's Golden Tornado boys’ soccer squad grabbed a big, 1-0 win over visiting Lynn Classical Tuesday. Senior goalkeeper Josh Angulo got the shutout in net and had 7 saves on the day while Malden's lone goal came on a shot after a crossing pass from about 10 feet in front of the Classical net, late in the first half. Malden was seeking one more win to qualify for Division 1 MIAA State Soccer Tournament play when it hosted Revere on Thursday afternoon, at 6-5-4 overall. Results were not available at press time. ****** Malden High football was blanked by Lynn Classical at the fabled Manning Field in Lynn Saturday, 32-0 The Tornado squad was again hampered by key personnel out with injury as well as costly turnovers. Malden did drive deep into Classical territory on two occasions, but could not punch one in. Classical quarterback Brian Vaughan Jr., son of the head coach Brian Vaughan had a strong day with two TD passes and one rushing touchdown. Classical went ahead, 24-0 at halftime and then added a fourth score on its first possession of the second half in the third quarter. Malden was scheduled to be back in action tonight at home, hosting GBL rival Lynn English at 6:00 p.m. Tonight is a "Pink Out" game where Breast Cancer Research Month will be acknowledged at Macdonald Stadium. Malden stays home next week when it hosts #3-ranked and undefeated Everett on Friday, October 29 at 6:00 p.m. This will be Homecoming Night for Malden and the theme is "Black Out" with all fans encouraged to wear black-colored clothing to support the evening's festivities.

There were no roll calls in the House and Senate last week. REPEAL $250 ASSET LIMIT (H 4011) House 130-29, overrode Gov. Charlie Baker’s veto of a bill that would repeal a current law that prohibits anyone with assets of more than $250 from being eligible for Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled and Children (EAEDC). This program provides cash and medical assistance to certain categories of needy individuals in Massachusetts, including the physically or mentally disabled, aged 65 or older or caring for a disabled individual who would otherwise be institutionalized. In his veto message, Baker said that he supports aligning the asset limit for the program with the federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Program asset limit which is currently $2,000. “I prefer this alternative to eliminating the asset test completely, as EAEDC is generally designed to provide a bridge to individuals waiting for an eligibility determination from the SSI program. I look forward to the opportunity to work collaboratively with the Legislature to develop a policy that is in alignment with relevant federal policies and ensures that these benefits are available for individuals and families in highest need.” Supporters of repealing the $250 limit said potential recipients are already facing economic hardship and should not be required to spend down a small amount of money in a savings account in order to qualify for this vital assistance. They argued it makes no sense to require recipients to spend down savings that could be used to pay their regular expenses and other important bills. (A “Yes” vote is for repealing the $250 asset limit. A “No” vote is for keeping the $250 limit.) Rep. Paul DonatoYes Rep.

The commission would include ten members of the governor’s cabinet and other executive branch commissioners. The governor supported reducing the commission from 29 members to 20 members. “I strongly support the aim of this commission,” said the governor is his veto message. “However, in my view, to streamline the efforts of the commission and permit the meaningful participation of all members, it is necessary to modify its composition, retaining the position reserved for the Secretary of Health and Human Services and BEACON | SEE PAGE 18 ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI21P5102EA Estate of: Donald Keddy Date of Death: 04/04/2021 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL ADJUDICATION To all interested persons: A Petition for Formal Adjucation of Intestacy and Appointment of Personal Representative has been filed by Shelley Bouthillette of Mashpee, MA requesting that the Court enter a formal Decree and Order and for such other relief as requested in the Petition.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 22, 2021 Page 17 Portal To Hope Celebrates 25 Years T he award-winning, Massachusetts nonprofit organization, Portal To Hope ("PTH") is celebrating 25 years in providing services to people whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking crimes. Driven by the voices of survivors, PTH is community-based in Everett, Lynn, Malden, Medford and Winthrop. Serving these and neighboring communities, PTH has been grateful to have the support of grassroots activists and community leaders over the years. Founded in Malden in 1996 by Deborah Fallon, PTH has thrived under her leadership and dedicated team members who serve an average of 900 people each year. Having strong roots in the Malden community as the daughter of former Mayor of Malden Thomas Fallon and Janice Fallon, Fallon partnered with Rev. Frank Silva at the Immaculate Conception Parish to begin offering Support Groups to survivors. By year-end 1996, Fallon partnered with Rev. Paul Garrity of St. Mary's Parish in Lynn for the same purpose; and PTH gained the help of 75 new volunteers. By 1998, PTH partnered with former Mayor David Ragucci and Everett Police Chief James Rogers to create the first law enforcement program of its kind in the Commonwealth whereby a civilian team worked onsite at a police department to provide direct care services to crime victims. This effort, known as EVAPorate Violence, has received national acclaim under the leadership of Everett Police Chief Steven Mazzie, including having been featured on the national talk show, The Montel Williams Show, and awarded by the AVON Hello Tomorrow Fund. Last month, Fallon received the Purple Ribbon - Survivor of the Year Award by Theresa's Fund. As survivor of violent crime, Fallon has dedicated her life to helping others struggling through domestic violence. "The experience back in 1995 was definitely life-changing," said Fallon. "Walking through the criminal justice system and meeting other survivors in the courts, I felt much gratitude - not just to have survived the attack but to have the support of my family, friends and others. Most of the people whom we help at PTH do not have built-in support systems. So, it is an absolute privilege to be doing the work that we do as Victim Advocates, because what it comes down to is being that support person for someone and reminding them of their own strengths." One of 11 children, Fallon's family members have long volunteered at PTH. Her sister, Malden City Solicitor Kathryn Fallon, has provided pro-bono legal services to victims of domestic violence for years. Fallon's brother, Michael Fallon, Founder of My Sister Mary Foundation, volunteers his time managing the organization's website; and her husband, Malden Fire Fighter and a Deputy Fire Chief in the United States Air Force, SMSgt. George Romvos, volunteers his time working with military families affected by abuse. "In addition to having the opportunity to help others, the best part of the job is in meeting people along the way who want to get involved at PTH," said Fallon. "We would not be the organization that we are today if it wasn't for the people who have partnered with us, working to end domestic violence." Today, PTH remains one of six Massachusetts nonprofits serving survivors of domestic violence onsite at medical facilities, thanks to its long-standing partnership with MelroseWakefield Healthcare. Its law enforcement program serves as a model for other agencies to adopt; and PTH enhanced its partnership with the Medford Police Department where Police Chief Jack Buckley created space for PTH to open-up a new office onsite at the new station. This year, PTH opened a new Legal Aid office in Malden thanks to the help of the Mallon Family and VOCA grant support administered by the Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance. 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 SALEMWOOD SCHOOL FORESTDALE SCHOOL CLUB 24 MEMBER’S ROOM 630 COMMUNITY ROOM FERRYWAY SCHOOL SUFFOLK MANOR COMMUNITY ROOM LINDEN SCHOOL LINDEN SCHOOL 529 SALEM STREET 74 SYLVAN STREET 787 SALEM STREET 630 SALEM STREET 150 CROSS STREET 312 BRYANT STREET 29 WESCOTT STREET 29 WESCOTT STREET October 22, 2021 WD.

Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible latenight sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 22, 2021 Page 19 CENSUS | FROM PAGE 1 which is a decrease from the last Census in 2010, when Malden’s White population was 52.5%, or, 31,211 residents. The city’s Black population also decreased slightly percentage-wise since 2010, at 14.2%, down from 14.4% in 2010. On the fl ip side, Pratt explained, the two demographic groups which showed significant increases in population were Asian residents, now making up 25.8% of Malden’s total (11,898) and Latinos, which nearly doubled since the last census, to 10.4%. Pratt put in further perspective for the Councillors. “In 2010, one in five Malden residents were Asian; now it is one in four local residents,” he said. “In 2010, roughly one in two Malden residents were people of color. Now that number is three of fi ve residents are people of color.” The Malden Offi ce of Strategic Planning and Community Development representative said the fact that Malden is now majority minority would pay dividends, literally, when it comes to federal funding. Majority minority communities are eligible for more programmatic subsidies and grant monies from the federal government. Pratt did note that the demographic groupings identified in the Malden Census 2020 are broad and cover a lot of diff erent ethnicities, countries of origin and culture. “The Asian and Black groupings are oversimplifi ed,” Pratt said. “Diff erent cultures and those from diff erent countries have diff erent needs, COUNCIL | FROM PAGE 3 tion to over 66,000 has caused the shift to three precincts. In certain wards, especially ones showing the most growth, since the maximum is 4,000 residents per precinct, the standing two-precinct system will not be suffi cient moving traits and preferences.” Asians, for example, include those from the world’s two most populous nations, China (1.467 billion) and India (1.36 billion), as well as many countries in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Korea and Cambodia, Pacifi c Islander nations, such as Japan and the Philippines, and Pakistan. Pratt said a goal for the immediate future for the city administration is to gear its provision and supervision of services and “continue to improve” in matching them to residents of color and their individual cultures. “It is very important that we know more about out our community, and the Census fi gures provide that information,” Pratt asserted. A total of 69% of Malden’s population self-responded to requests from Census 2020, a jump of 5% from Census 2010 (64%), despite the COVID-19 pandemic. City offi cials estimated just over 90% of the population was officially counted through the census. Pratt thanked the members of the Malden Complete Count Committee for their hard work in drumming up those impressive percentages of residents counted here. Included were Malden resident Barbara Kim, Evan Spetrini from the Offi ce of Strategic Planning and Development (formerly Malden Redevelopment Authority), and Administrative Offi cer Kathleen Manning Hall and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Coordinator Bybiose LaRochelle, both from the offi ce of Mayor Gary Christenson. forward, Pratt said. “We must shift some [ward] boundary lines and increase from two precincts to three precincts per ward,” Pratt, who worked with several Councillors in preparing the changes in an ad hoc group called the Redistricting Subcommittee. “We kept [the wards] largely Malden Census 2020 ‘Fast Facts’ In the course of the presentation, a number of interesting facts were reported, including the following: – Malden officially surpassed 60,000 in total population for the fi rst time, though it has been estimated in the past the city first topped 60,000 around 2016. – With 66,263 residents, Malden is the 16th largest population among the Commonwealth’s 351 cities and towns, just ahead of Waltham (65,318) and Brookline (63,191). – Malden’s population has grown about 15% since 2010, which is nearly identical an increase as in a number of other communities in the Greater Boston area and the North Shore. – Ward 3 in Malden, comprised largely of the city’s West End neighborhood, has the city’s most White residents at 49.8% (4,053) and the lowest percentage of Black residents (688, 7%). – Ward 4 has the city’s largest Asian population; the majority of the ward’s residents at 41.8 percent (3,661 residents). – Ward 2 has the second-largest Asian population in Malden, with 25.8 percent (2,807 residents). – Ward 7 has the most Black (21.9% or 1,792) residents and most Latino (13.5 percent, 1,098) residents in the city. intact, but we had to shift precinct lines to fi t the population we have now.” The three precincts would be between 2,500 and 2,800 residents moving forward for 2022, as opposed to close to the 4,000 maximum which COUNCIL | SEE PAGE 20 ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS...Imagine being on vacation everyday in this tranquil waterfront retreat on the Saugus/Melrose line.

I would like to help my grandparents make a few modifi cations to their house so they can continue living there safely, but money is tight. Searching Grandson Dear Searching, Yes! There are a number of fi nancial aid programs available that can help seniors with home modifi cations and improvement projects for aging-in-place, but what’s available to your grandparents will depend on their fi nancial situation and where they live. Here are some diff erent options to explore. Medicare Advantage benefi ts: While original Medicare does not typically pay for home improvements, if your grandparents are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan, it may off er some aid for modifi cations based on need. Contact their Medicare Advantage provider to see if this is available. Medicaid waivers: If your grandparents are low-income and eligible for Medicaid, most states have Medicaid Home and Community Based Services waivers that provide fi nancial assistance to help seniors avoid nursing homes and remain living at home. Each state has diff erent waivers, eligibility requirements and benefi ts. Contact your Medicaid offi ce (see Medicaid.gov) for information. Non-Medicaid government assistance: Many state governments and several agencies within the federal government have programs that help low to moderate income seniors, who aren’t eligible for Medicaid with home modifi cations. For example, the Department of Housing and Urban Development off ers HUD Home Improvement Loans by private lenders. Contact a HUD approved counseling agency (call 800-569-4287) to learn more. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a Rural Development program that provides grants and loans to rural homeowners. Your local USDA service center (see offi ces.sc.egov.usda.gov) can give you more for information. Many states also have fi nancial assistance programs known as nursing home diversion programs. These programs, which may include grants or loans or a combination, helps pay for modifi - cations that enable the elderly and disabled to remain living at home. Modifi cations covered typically include accessibility improvements like wheelchair ramps, handrails and grab bars. To fi nd out if there are programs in your grandparent’s area, contact the city or county housing authority, the local Area Aging Agency (800-677-1116) or the state housing fi nance agency – see NCSHA.org/housing-help. Veteran benefi ts: If your either of your grandparents is a veteran with a disability, the VA provides grants like the SAH, SHA and HISA grants that will pay for home modifi cations. See Benefi ts. va.gov/benefi ts/factsheets/homeloans/sahfactsheet.pdf for details and eligibility requirements. Some other VA programs to inquire about are the “Veteran-Directed Care” program and “Aid and Attendance or Housebound Benefi ts.” Both programs provide monthly fi nancial benefi ts to eligible veterans that can help pay for home modifi cations. To learn more, visit VA.gov/geriatrics or call 800-827-1000. Nonprofi t organizations: Depending on where your grandparent’s live, they may also be able to get assistance in the form of fi nancial aid or volunteer labor to help with modifi cations. One of the most noteworthy is the organization Rebuilding Together (RebuildingTogether.org, 800-473-4229), which off ers three programs: Safe at Home, Heroes at Home, and National Rebuilding Day. Another option is community building projects, which provide seniors with volunteer labor to help them make home improvements. To search for projects in your grandparent’s area, do web search containing the phrase “community building project” followed by their “city and state.” Reverse mortgage: Available to seniors 62 and older who own their own home and are currently living there, a reverse mortgage will let your grandparents convert part of the equity in their home into cash – which can be used for home improvements – that doesn’t have to be paid back as long as they live there. But reverse mortgages are expensive loans, so this should be a last resort. For more information on these and other fi nancial assistance programs, go to PayingForSeniorCare.com and click on “Senior Care” followed by “Home Modifi cations.” 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.

Page 20 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 22, 2021 COUNCIL | FROM PAGE 19 now exist across the city’s eight wards. Pratt also explained that changes to ward boundary lines must be done by street blocks, not just by individual streets. With the plan adopted by the City Council on Tuesday, Malden’s population growth will result, beginning in 2022, for some voters in Ward 8 shifting to Ward 6 and some in Ward 6 shifting to Ward 5. There are some other changes in other wards as well, but Councillors stressed that no changes are fi nalized until the state legislature approves them and the City Council looks at the map a fi nal time before endorsing it for 2022. A copy of the new Malden voting map is available to view online at the city’s website, www.cityofmalden.org. “We are actually re-precincting, not redistricting,” Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley, a member of the Council’s Redistricting Committee, said. “You vote where your precinct is. Our main goal was to redraw the ward lines to keep as much as possible the same.” “We don’t want to confuse people as to where they vote,” Councillor O’Malley said, reiterating that the changes have no effect on the upcoming election. Councillor O’Malley did note that there is a time sensitive urgency to the issue. “We are in a time crunch; our goal is to pass it tonight so it can be sent to the state legislature,” he said, “we will get another crack at this before it is fi nalized [at the local level].” Rep. Ultrino was on hand Tuesday and said the process was “to fi t your [local] map into Part-Time Handyman 4 to 5 days a week Must have own transportation Must speak English $20 per hour Call 617-549-7475 the state map” and noted there were “some concerns, since I share representation with other reps in some wards.” “We can’t split precincts,” Rep. Ultrino said. “We might see some districts change. We will continue to work with [City Clerk Lucey] and the Council. It’s a great map – it’s just concerning with the wards I split [with other reps].” Rep. Ultrino’s 33rd Middlesex District includes about 70 percent (11 of 16) of Malden’s precincts. Longtime state Rep. Paul Donato (D-Malden, Medford, 35th Middlesex) represents four precincts in Malden: Ward 1, Precincts 1 and 2; Ward 3, Precinct 2; and Ward 7, Precinct 1. State Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian’s (D-Melrose, Malden) 32nd Middlesex District includes parts of Melrose, Wakefi eld and one precinct in Malden: Ward 5, Precinct 2. Rep. Ultrino said the goal of the state legislature mirrors the intent of the local Councillors: to leave as much as possible intact so as not to confuse voters. “We want to continue representing the same residents. That is our goal,” Rep. Ultrino said. The timeline would be for the state Redistricting Committee to approve, reject or adjust the city and town plans and have their response back to the local communities after the beginning of the new year to prompt more local action. Obituary Sandra J. Anzalone 65, of Wilmington, NC, formerly of North Reading, died suddenly at her home Wednesday, October 6, 2021. Sandra was born May 13, 1956 in Malden to Rose and Francis Gaff . Her father was an Electrical Engineer and her mother was a waitress. Sandra loved her family (especially her grandchildren Anthony and Siena), good music, traveling, and entertaining.

They raised a large blended family, having one daughter of their own in addition to Anthony’s 6 children. They remained passionately devoted through an unbelievable life together until Anthony’s passing in 2014.
