MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 4 (1991-1999), for the US Women’s Olympic Ice Hockey Team (Gold in 1998, Silver in 2014, Gold in 2018) and for the World Champion Boston Red Sox. His brothers Arthur and Dave also could not be prouder. Not bad for a kid from Amerige Park. I thought the “First Pup of the Parking Department,” Theo, was a cute dog, then along comes Franklin, Johnny Spadafora’s French bulldog – a close second on the puppy cute scale to Theo. I did not know this (said in my best Ed McMahon voice) ... in another lifetime “The Comeback Kid,” Chris Simonelli, was a Sergeant Training Instructor for the Middlesex Sheriff’s Department, eventually being promoted to Captain. He was a Hearings Officer also for the Department of Corrections mostly dealing with dispute resolutions. During that time, he ran an afterschool program for the youths of Malden where he taught martial arts while also including the dangers of substance abuse in his teachings. Gang awareness, bullying and taking pride in their neighborhood was also incorporated. In his spare time (what spare time?), he helped spearhead something called the Triad Program which had youngsters, seniors and police working together in making the neighborhood a safer place to live. Did you also know that he created the first skateboard park in Malden? Great job, Chris! Spoke with first year Malden High School head football coach Witche Exilhomme last week about the season so far. He mentioned that although the wins are few he sees progress each and every week and a bright future for the football program. That was good to hear; I could sense a great deal of optimism in his voice. Keep up the great work, my friend. Malden has your back. “It was 48 years ago today…….” • The 1973 Ward 2 Councillor seat being vacated by incumbent Billy Callahan (who at the time was recuperating at Boston’s Deaconess Hospital after a “serious operation”) saw future City Controller Dom “Mr. St. Rocco” Fermano edge out Eddie Lynch 1,113 to 823 votes with only 53 blanks. • “Marty’s Sub Shop” in MapleTHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 5, 2021 • Lou Reed’s song “Walk on wood Square – 728 Salem Street – had “Spaghetti with meat ball” for 99 cents. • Walter “I endorse placing a large ugly building in the middle of Pleasant Street” Kelliher was an easy winner of his eighth two-year term as Mayor, beating “progressive” Council candidate Amelia Miclette: 11,399 to 6,675 with only 422 blanks. • Councillor Herbert Jackson was the top vote getter running for an At-Large seat with 9,041 votes. • “Alberti’s Salon for Men” (338 Broadway) featured cuts in all the latest styles – “rega cut,” “layer cut” and “shag” – all the cuts for your bad 1973 self. • Roli Music on Irving Street had a sale going on – “3 pop records” for one measly dollar! I bought a bunch of Monkees singles back in ’73. (Yes I know, I was a little too old to be listening to the Monkees but I really liked them!) • Malden High School Class of 1933 got together for their 40th class reunion on Nov. 9 at Spinelli’s on Route 1. the Wild Side” was a huge hit in 1973. I vividly remember playing it on the little jukeboxes that were in the booths at the old Highland Café – not exactly sure what the heck he was singing about at the time. • Jesus Christ Superstar – the movie – came out in 1973. I believe I saw it at the Granada, but my mind is a bit fuzzy on that. We were big fans of the album (the “brown album”), but when the movie came out we were a bit confused by the direction of the film. Years later I had the privilege of hanging out a bit with the star of the movie and album – Ted Neeley – a sweeter, nicer man I do not think I have ever met! • Born in 1973: Andrew Lincoln (“Walking Dead”), Rose McGowan (best actress of her generation!) and Monica Lewinsky. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – my (late) father told me a great story years ago about himself and one of his good time pals running into Leonard Nimoy on the streets of the old West End back in 1952, shortly after Nimoy’s first ~ 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. MI21C1049CA In the matter of: Unknown Gyalthar CITATION ON PETITION TO CHANGE NAME A Petition to Change Name of Adult has been filed by Unknown Gyalther of Malden, MA requesting that the court enter a Decree changing their name to: Gyalthar Tsering IMPORTANT NOTICE Any person may appear for purposes of objecting to the petition by filing an appearance at: Middlesex Probate and Family Court before 10:00 a.m. on the return day of 11/23/2021.

WITNESS, Hon. Maureen H. Monks, First Justice of this Court. Date: October 27, 2021 TARA E. DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE November 5, 2021 Page 21 movie, “Kid Monk Baroni,” was released. Nimoy was born in the West End, and he and Ruth Roman are two of the more famous people to walk the streets of that long gone, greatly missed neighborhood. The movie “Kid Monk Baroni” was the type of movie that made “unknowns out of celebrities,” as Nimoy was once quoted as saying. It featured the future Mr. Spock as a tough street punk bound for glory in the ring as a boxer. The neighborhood story goes that Nimoy was home for a stretch of time; he was walking on the opposite side of the street (North Russell, I believe) of my father and his friend when my father’s pal yelled out to him (and I am paraphrasing) that he found his portrayal as a street tough less than realistic and his acting ability rather lacking (much saltier language than this, though). Nimoy acknowledged the two men with a shrug of his shoulders and a smile and kept walking, straight into pop culture history. Check out the movie on YouTube – Leonard Nimoy as you have never seen him. Postscript: Contrary to popular belief, Paul Anka did not write “My Way” for Frank; he wrote it for my late father, Solomon (Jerry) Levine. Yes indeed, my pops lived every single day of his life his way. Fact is he passed away as he lived his life, fearless. My family and I are grieving once again, but the outpouring of condolences from friends far and wide has made it a little easier to navigate. “Kel Maleh Rachamim” to the man who instilled dignity, compassion and altruism in his five children probably without even knowing it.
