The City of Malden envisions a more inclusive and accessible Kierstead Park, including a new, larger playground, improvements to the baseball field, walkways and lighting around the park and increasing the tree canopy. “This grant is a major win for our city and is the result of strong community partnerships and engagement,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “With these funds, we will be able to not only bring upgrades to Kierstead but also make it more accessible.” “Kierstead Park serves some of the city’s lowest-income residents, and they deserve a great playground and a great ballfield,” said Ward 7 Councillor Chris Simonelli. “I am glad the City is leveraging so many funding sources, including this PARC grant, to make sure we deliver the best project possible.” In addition to the PARC grant, Malden will allocate $900,000 in City ARPA funding to the project. The City has also applied for funding for this project from the Community Preservation Committee and the Community Development Block Grant program.

Page 2 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 11, 2022 Mayor issues statement over recent antisemitic incidents T he recent antisemitic acts in surrounding communities and across the country are a call to action. Antisemitic incidents are up 48% in Massachusetts this year, a larger increase than the rest of New England and a much larger increase than the country overall. Although these recent incidents took place outside of Malden, we know that anti-Jewish sentiments and actions have no borders. I stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors in Malden and Jewish communities across the country in condemning these hateful and harmful acts. We have been in touch with our Jewish congregations and leaders in our Jewish community to off er our support and ask what we can do. Working with Police Chief Glenn Cronin, we are increasing safety measures around our Jewish congregations and our annual Hanukkah Celebration. We are also implementing the recommendations from the Two Steps Forward Against Antisemitism summit I attended earlier this year, including recognizing January 27th as International Holocaust Remembrance Day and adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working defi nition of antisemitism. We will continue to meet with leaders and advocates in our Jewish community to identify other steps we can take as a city to support them. Government alone cannot Gary Christenson Mayor stop antisemitism. We need our neighbors to speak out against antisemitism when they see it, whether it is subtle innuendo or overt statements or actions. All of us must demonstrate our support and solidarity to our Jewish neighbors, friends, and family. Malden is a welcoming place not because of the incredible diversity we have in our community, but because we make our community safe and welcoming every day with our words and our actions.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 11, 2022 Page 3 2022 MYSTIC RIVER HERRING RUN LARGEST IN THE STATE MYSTIC RIVER HERRING RUN 2022: 425,000+ A ccording to the offi cial estimate from the Division of Marine Fisheries (Mass DMF), more than 425,000 river herring passed through the fi sh ladder at the Mystic Lakes Dam in Medford in 2022, and an additional 20,000 passed into Horn Pond. This the highest documented herring run this year in any river in Massachusetts! River herring — Alewife and Blueback herring — are migratory species that spend most of their lives in the open ocean, but return to freshwater every year to spawn in the river system they were born in. They are threatened by overharvesting in the ocean and — crucially — by the loss of inland habitat for breeding caused by dams blocking access to inland lakes and streams. The recent count represents the latest chapter in an ecological restoration success story that has included the installation of multiple fi sh passages on the river resulting in a sharply rebounding population of river herring in the Mystic River. HERRING NUMBERS IN CONTEXT This year’s total is a bit lower than last year’s estimate but consistent with the sense that the Mystic population remains robust. (Fish populations fl uctuate over time for multiple reasons). Often the Mystic is among the largest documented herring runs in the state, but this year it was the largest. This is both remarkable and a sign of some less positive changes elsewhere. It is remarkable because one might not expect the largest herring population in the state to be one that has to run the urban gauntlet of Boston Harbor and the Amelia Earhart Dam — not to mention the Mystic Lakes Dam — to get to their breeding grounds. Usually, the largest runs in Massachusetts are on rivers with relatively unobstructed streams and protected estuaries like the Herring River in Wellfl eet on Cape Cod Bay. But this year, numbers from herring counts from other usually high-count Massachusetts sites were notably lower than last year. The Herring River count, for instance, was 290,000, after counts of over 1,000,000 as recently as 2019. As Ben Gahagan of the Division of Marine Fisheries says, “Indeed it was a bad year across most of southern New England.” Similar patterns were seen in Rhode Island and Connecticut. “On the other hand,” Gahagan adds, “Maine had record runs and New Hampshire was actually pretty decent." That is, there may be some phenomenon at work disproportionately aff ecting southern populations in recent years. Multiple causes may be at work, and state scientists say it is too soon to point to a single reason. One major factor in reducing Massachusetts herring populations in recent years might be the droughts the area has experienced. In many river systems, droughts late in the summer can prevent juvenile migration back to the ocean by drying up streams, reducing productivity in the population in a way that is seen years later in the fi sh counts of returning adults. The Mystic system may be relatively immune from this eff ect, at least currently. There are fewer dead ends for fi sh to end up in, even in relatively severe drought. MORE ON THE ECOLOGICAL SUCCESS STORY A fish ladder at the Mystic Lakes Dam in Medford was built in 2012 — allowing fi sh in the Mystic River to reach Upper Mystic Lake for the fi rst time in decades. At that time, the Mystic River Watershed Association launched a volunteer herring count in collaboration with Mass DMF. Dozens of volunteers annually visit the dam to make 10-minute sampling counts of fi sh passing into Upper Mystic Lake every daylight hour from April to June, and the data are used to estimate the total number of fi sh passing through the fi sh ladder. In the fi rst year, an estimated 200,000+ fi sh passed through the dam, based on data generated by volunteer counters. But river herring fi rst return to freshwater to reproduce HERRING| SEE PAGE 4 AUTOTECH DRIVE IT - PUSH IT - TOW IT! Cold Hard Cash for Your Vehicle!

When the fi rst cohort of fi sh born in the newly expanded freshwater habitat reached reproductive age and returned for the fi rst time to Mystic Lakes in 2015, volunteer counts showed that the population of fi sh loyal to the Mystic River had doubled (Figure 1). And numbers continued to climb over the next few years to an estimate of as many as 780,000 fi sh in 2019. This is a huge success story: the single simple fish ladder at Mystic Lakes doubled — and even tripled — a significant wildlife population. For a sense of scale: 500,000 of these foot-long fi sh end-to-end would stretch 100 miles!

Currently the Scalley Dam at Horn Pond mainJason Lewis Senator ly blocks fi sh passage into the lake, although a small percentage of fi sh who arrive make it up a small cascading stream that goes around the dam when water levels are high enough. The estimated number of fi sh able to enter Horn Pond this year, based on volunteer counts, was approximately 20,000. Many more fish were seen at the base of the dam, most of which presumably turned back downstream. The good news is that money from two federal environmental damages settlements — including from famous Superfund cases in Woburn — will bring millions of dollars of investment in building a fi sh ladder at Horn Pond. The City of Woburn is also investing in this project, expected to be completed in the next few years. Fisheries scientists believe this will expand the population of river herring in the Mystic system even further. Horn Pond will also likely be a place where the general public will be able to view this migraliver results for our communities and Commonwealth,” said Senator Lewis. “I want to thank everyone who took the time to vote in this important election, and express my deep gratitude to our campaign team, volunteers and supporters for all your hard work.” Senator Lewis earned 63% of the vote in the election; his opponent Ed Dombroski earned 37%. tion directly. "Woburn has proposed expansive improvements to the park area to integrate the ladder and viewing opportunities for the public,” says DMF’s Ben Gahagan. “I think all parties see public engagement as integral to long term success."

On the west side, sitting behind the houses on Linden Avenue, was a line of gigantic elm trees, under which sets of swings, a seesaw, and sand boxes provided entertainment for the young’uns. “On the east side, the larger side, which in front of Park View Terrace, lay a fl at patch of ground, a veld, or lea, stretching from Clifton Street to Mountain Avenue. With makeshift bases, an infi eld was laid out by the participants to play baseball.

His dam, near present day Mountain Ave, on the easterly side of Three Mile Brook (later, Spot Pond), carried the water in a wooden trough to the gristmill below. This early enterprise fl ourished for years, long after the death of the then original owner.’ “Kimball continued, ‘Scarcely four years after he had begun his mill, Captain Coytemore was lost at sea off the coast of Spain. He commanded ‘The Trial’ the fi rst ship ever built in Boston, completed in 1642.’ “From Saint Patrick’s Day until near Thanksgiving, baseball was the sport of choice for the athletes of Coytemore. The difference between baseball played at other parks across the city of Malden and Coytemore, was often a batted ball ended up with a splash. Since baseballs were in great demand, the outfi elder closest to the bridge had to run between the fence and bridge and grab the ball before it went under Mountain Ave, never to be seen again. “Of course, occasionally, the retriever fell into the brook, which was studded with rocks, creating ripples, and re-routing the ball in various directions. After a heavy rain, the river would swell into the Colorado River, and the ball would gain momentum, racing toward the bridge. In an instant, the bobbing covered rawhide sphere would disappear forever, If it was recovered, the ball would be put back into play immediately, even though it weighed twice as much as it did before it was driven into the waterway. “However, they came to play, through the 1950’s, into the 1960’s, until the MDC Pool was constructed. Dozens of the immediate area’s youths matriculated to the ‘hole,’ the pasture, the lea that was Coytemore. “The Rodenheisers, Dick and Bert.

Donny Schultz and Aldo Agnoletti came off the Main Street side of Waitt’s Mount to play. Dr. Fox’s son, Jay, when he wasn’t practicing his trombone also. The list goes on and on. “It was a diff erent time. No uniforms. No coaches, no umpires. Hand-me-down equipment. Their skills were honed by playing from sunrise to sunset. And yes, in the Summer Parks City Program where Coytemore did compete against the parks and playgrounds across town. Edgeworth, Maplewood, Amerige, Faulkner, Linden, Forestdale, and Suffolk. The only handicap: none of the other parts of town would come to Coytemore. Forcing us to play all away games. “Before the MDC put the swimming pool in, every winter Malden would build a berm of earth, maybe 200 feet by 75 feet and fl ood the area for ice skating. The depth of 4 to 5 inches assured parents their off spring would not drown. After World War 2, located closer to Clifton Street, clay tennis courts were erected. But seldom used. Once those fences came down, it opened up things for baseball. “Once the MDC Pool was built, in the early 1960’s, most everything ended. For a long while, little went on at “The Lea.” The hurricanes of the late 1950’s and early 1960’s had knocked down many of the stately elms on the west side of the park. Eventually, the brook was covered with a culvert. The water now runs under a pagoda. The bridge is long gone; a basketball court now sits over the creek that once was. “Today, most of the season fi nds the bare legs of little soccer players racing around the old pasture called Coytemore Lea.” Bob is lifelong Malden, a neighbor of Coytemore Lea Park, and one of the best friends the youths of Malden have ever had.

The funds are from the state’s surplus of money. The two versions went to a conference committee to hammer out a compromise version. Finally last week, the House and Senate crafted the compromise version and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker a $3.8 billion spending bill to fund an economic development package and a supplemental budget to close out the state’s books on fi scal 2022. There was no roll call on the bill because it was approved at informal sessions of each branch at which roll calls are not allowed. Under legislative rules, each one of the state’s 192 legislators had the power to stall the bill indefi nitely but no one did. Absent from the package is millions of dollars in tax relief that was part of the original confl icting versions approved by each branch including $500 million one-time tax rebates to an estimated 2 million eligible people. A $250 rebate would go to individual taxpayers and a $500 rebate to married taxpayers. Eligibility would be determined by annual income reported in 2021, with the minimum income required to be $38,000, and the maximum $100,000 for individual fi lers and $150,000 for joint fi lers. Beginning in 2023, several permanent tax reductions would take eff ect including increasing the Child and Dependent Care Credit from $180 per child to $310 per child, as well as eliminating the current cap of $360 for two or more children; increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit from 30 percent to 40 percent of the federal credit; increasing the senior circuit breaker tax credit cap from $1,170 to $2,340; increasing the rental deduction cap from $3,000 to $4,000; and increasing the estate tax threshold from $1 million to $2 million. “With many economic experts predicting fi nancial uncertainty in the year ahead, our agreed upon package is limited to onetime investments,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano, Senate President Karen Spilka, House Ways and Means Chair Aaron Michlewitz and Senate Ways and Means Chair Michael Rodrigues in a joint statement. “House and Senate leaders are committed to revisiting the issue of broader, more permanent tax relief next session. This will help to ensure that our discussion of permanent tax relief can and will be informed by the views of a newly elected Legislature and governor, while considering the looming challenges facing the commonwealth.” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) explained why the GOP decided not to hold up the bill despite the fact that it did not include the tax cuts. “At this important point, when one member could stop this process from moving forward, we will not jeopardize those important priorities,” said Tarr. “Too often, we see sometimes obstruction of someone else’s agenda because someone isn’t able to get all of their agenda. This is a time that requires statespersonship on behalf of all of us, so we will not stand in the way of helping all of those that need our help that will be the benefi - ciaries of some of the important appropriations in this bill. But what we will do is insist on a commitment to this IOU.” Former representative and current GOP Party chair Jim Lyons disagreed with Tarr and criticized the Democratic leadership. “They removed the tax cuts from the original package, and the reason they did that, according to their own words, is that they're uncertain about economic conditions moving forward,” Lyons said. “Yet somehow that isn’t stopping them from spending a whopping $3.7 billion of the taxpayers’ money. This is exactly why Massachusetts taxpayers are absolutely fed up with the status quo on Beacon Hill,” continued Lyons. “The Democrats are using an informal session to pass this progressive grab bag stuff ed with handouts because they’re afraid of having to go on the record and actually vote for it.” ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL WHEELCHAIR WARRANTY AND REPAIRS (S 3136) – The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would strengthen consumer protections for wheelchair users. Current state law does not set any timeline for assessing repairs and does not require dealers to off er wheelchairs on loan within a fi xed time period. Provisions of the bill include requiring that wheelchair manufacturers, lessors and dealers provide customers with written notifi cation of the warranty for their wheelchairs; increasing the minimum duration for an any warranty from one year to two years; mandating that if an in-warranty wheelBHRC | SEE PAGE 13 Jacob Williams voted for Governor candidate Maura Healey for her Democratic policies.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 11, 2022 Page 9 DEVELOPMENT | FROM PAGE 1 In July 2022 the Massachusetts House and Senate had both unanimously passed diff ering versions of the bill, which were resolved by a conference committee. The bill now awaits Governor Charlie Baker’s signature or other response. The Malden delegation successfully secured $6 million for MelroseWakefi eld Healthcare for the redevelopment of the former Malden Hospital site, while a total of $950,000 was acquired for the City of Malden for local priorities and projects, including investments of: • $300,000 for improvements to Summer Street, including placemaking, streetscaping and artistic design • $250,000 for renovations to public parks in the city • $200,000 for the maintenance of the Northern Strand Community Trail in Malden • $200,000 to complete planning and economic development studies “After lengthy negotiations on this economic bill, I am delighted to see the Legislature reaching a compromise together to help ease the fi - nancial strain on families and communities who are feeling the monumental impacts of rising energy costs, rent, groceries and other basic necessities,” said Representative Ultrino. “This bill successfully addresses critical needs throughout the Commonwealth, and I am grateful for the eff orts of all my colleagues from House and Senate who helped ensure our communities will receive much-needed assistance. Once again, I am honored to have worked closely with the Malden delegation to obtain key investments for local priorities and programs that will continue to help Malden grow and strengthen our local economy.” “It’s good news that the House and Senate reached fi - nal agreement on this major economic development legislation that will help struggling families and bolster economic growth in the Commonwealth,” said Senator Lewis. “I was very pleased to work closely with the Malden delegation to secure funds for local projects, including improvements for parks, bike paths, and Summer Street.” “The Legislature’s successful efforts on the economic development bill will result in signifi cant investments in state programs and resources that support individuals and families,” said Representative Lipper-Garabedian. “In addition to critical supports for hospitals and human services workers, MBTA improvements, and housing production, among other statewide initiatives, I’m thrilled that the Malden delegation successfully advocated for nearly $1 million in earmarks for the City of Malden’s infrastructure priorities.” “Massachusetts is going to see great community benefi ts as a result of the Economic Development Bill,” said Representative Donato. “The legislation includes funding for projects that will benefi t everyone across the Commonwealth such as MBTA improvements, improved low-income housing, and energy assistance. But Malden will also see the positive eff ects of the spending bill directly with new walking and biking trails, park renovations, Malden Hospital Construction, and more. It’s always excellent to work with the rest of the Malden Delegation to make sure that we are listening to and delivering on the needs of our constituents.” The legislation represents an historic combination of economic investment and statewide fiscal relief that is designed to help communities in Massachusetts weather rising infl ation and challenging economic circumstances. Other major statewide investments include: • $1.4 billion for the human services sector, including $350 million for fi nancially strained hospitals as well as $225 million for provider and worker rate increases • $57 million for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) • $409.5 million to support aff ordable housing • $112 million to the MBTA for public transit projects and improvements Classifieds Advocate Call now! 617-387-2200 advertise on the web atwww.advocatenews.net Come Celebrate Thanksgiving Eve Wednesday, Nov. 23 at The Schiavo Club 7:00 PM to Midnight * Free Food! * DJ and Dancing! 71 Tileston Street Everett 2.50 %APY* With rates like this, earning while you save is easier than ever.

The process repeats itself. The laddered short-term W ith the Federal Reserve increasing the overnight federal funds rate once again by .75%, interest rates on US Treasuries have not been this good in many years. The interest rate on the 90 day US Treasury Bill as of Friday, November 5th, was 4.06%. Interest rates will continue to rise into the new year until the Feds are convinced that infl ation is under control and refl ects consistent downward trends. At some point the Feds will begin lowering the federal funds rate and the rates on US Treasuries will fall. Once approach to investing in such Treasuries is by utilizing a laddered short-term Treasury Bill portfolio. For example, if you invested $50,000 in such a portfolio, you could have fi ve different maturing Treasury Bills, each with $10,000. There would be a 3 month Treasury Bill, a 6 month Treasury Bill,a 9 month Treasury Bill , a 12 month Treasury Bill and a 15 month Treasury Bill. As the 3 month Treasury Bill matures, interest is added to the $10,000 and that amount is then invested in a 15 month Treasury Bill. The original 15 month Treasury Bill now has only 12 months to mature, the 12 month Treasury bill now has only 9 months to mature, the 9 month Treasury Bill now Treasury bill portfolio offers very good liquidity and of course, tremendous safety. The Treasuries are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. As long as you hold on to each bond until maturity, you will not lose any money, even if interest rates continue to rise. There is an inverse relationship between interest rates and an existing bond price. When interest rates rise, the price of that bond will decrease. When interest rates fall, the price of that bond will increase. The benefi t of the short-term duration laddered Treasury portfolio is that every three months you are investing in a new Treasury. If interest rates rise, the new Treasury will refl ect the higher rate. Also, they are state income tax free. If you needed to access monies, you could decide not to roll over a 3 month Treasury Bill into a 15 month Treasury Billupon maturity. You could simply cash in the 3 month Treasury Billwith the interest earnings added to the original bond purchase. This strategy could be on option for those that wish to invest safely while earning rates of returns that we have not seen in many years. This strategy could also complement a typical stock and bond portfolio designed for long-term results. Hard to believe that only one year ago the interest rate paid on a 3 month Treasury Bill was only .05%. Joseph D.

And that includes two years when there was no champion crowned (2020, 2021) and two other years when Everett (and the other then, three, GBLers were members of the Northeastern Conference [NEC]). That means that only two times in the past 30 years when the title was up for competition since 1992 Everett has not won the crown: 2001 (Cambridge) and 2015 (Malden).

Supporters said wheelchair repairs pose substantial problems for people with physical disabilities. The noted that it is not uncommon for those who use wheelchairs to wait for weeks for repairs. This leaves these individuals stranded at home and unable to go to work, school, medical appointments, grocery shopping or elsewhere. This creates a crisis for individuals and families and often exacerbates other health conditions. Existing state law does not set any timeline for assessing repairs or require dealers to off er wheelchairs on loan within a fi xed time period. “This bill's passage is an important step forward to protect wheelchair users and their families," said the bill’s sponsor Sen. John Cronin (D-Lunenberg). “The bill implements critical protections in the law to prevent wheelchair users from being stranded in their homes for prolonged periods when their wheelchair or mobility device becomes inoperable.” “I have fought my entire career to make Massachusetts a more inclusive place for people of all abilities to live, work and play,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “It is especially fi tting that the Senate has passed these bills on the same day that we adjourn in memory of Paul Spooner, a committed and tireless disability rights and Everett Logo playoff s at Central Catholic Friday night after the opening round win over Taunton. **** Malden High football is back in action this week after taking a “bye” due to an infl ux of injuries, and hosted Beverly last night.

In a guardianship, the guardian makes medical, fi nancial and other major life decisions for the person. Under a supported decision-making agreement, an individual actually makes his or her own decisions with the support of a designated person or team and his or her decision cannot be overridden by the supporters. “I am incredibly proud that this life-changing legislation has advanced through the Senate,” said Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem), the sponsor of the measure. “Supported decision-making agreements maximize the dignity, freedom and independence of persons with disabilities and provide a proven, cost-eff ective and less restrictive alternative to guardianship … Everyone should have the opportunity to be the decision-maker of their own lives, and this legislation will empower many for whom that was not previously possible.” “People with disabilities deserve the freedom to maintain their independence and dignity,” said Sen.

Adam Gomez (D-Springfi eld), chair of the Senate Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities. “Supported decision-making is a no-brainer that allows individuals, including those with disabilities and elders, to maintain their rights and independence, allowing them to choose one or more trusted advisors to provide assistance in making decisions about their lives. I am thrilled that this legislation is moving forward and I know it will change many lives.” STEP THERAPY (H 4929) – Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law a bill that limits the use of health care plan mandated prescription drug “step therapy” protocols and provides more exemptions to the mandate. Step therapy requires the patient to try less expensive options before “stepping up” to drugs that cost more. Conditions which would exempt a patient from trying the less expensive drug fi rst include if the treatment will harm the patient, or if the patient previously tried the required treatment, or similar treatment, and it was ineff ective. Supporters said that insurers that utilize step therapy protocols require medical providers to prescribe lower-cost medications to patients fi rst, and only grant approval for alternative medications when the cheaper options have failed to improve a patient's condition. This results in insurers eff ectively choosing medications for the patient, even in cases where their providers have recommended an alternative. When paMalden High senior Mak Blaise (1), the league’s leading rusher and scorer, is out for the season with a knee injury.

Baker has signed it into law,” said Marc Hymovitz, Government Relations Director in Massachusetts for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. “This law puts treatment decisions back in the hands of doctors and patients where it belongs. It ensures patients will get the necessary medicine in a timely manner. Without a doubt, this will have a positive impact on thousands of patients across the commonwealth.” “We are taking action to ensure that patients with complicated illnesses receive the medications that their doctors know they need—not repeatedly taking medications that are ineff ective,” said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro), Senate chair of Committee on Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Recovery. “Waiting for treatment to fail fi rst before utilizing a preferred medication often leads to worsening symptoms that cause complications and needless suff ering for patients. It is a shortsighted practice that puts patients at unnecessary risk.” “This bill is a major step forward in ensuring patients and doctors have access to the right medication at the right time,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate chair of the Committee on Health Care Financing. “We are fi nally joining over half the states in the nation in reforming step therapy practices, putting the focus back on health care providers working with patients to off er the best treatment possible.” The governor’s offi ce did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call to get the governor to comment on the new law/ INCREASE PENALTIES FOR HIT AND RUNS WITH RECREATIONAL VEHICLES (H 4504) – The House approved and sent to the Senate legislation, known as the James Ward Act, which would increase the penalty of a hit and run with a recreational vehicle that causes bodily injury from a fi ne between $500 and $1,000 to a jail sentence of one year and/or a fi ne between $500 and $1,000. The proposal also creates the penalty of up to a $5,000 fi ne and/or a jail sentence of 2.5 years for a hit and run with a recreational vehicle that results in the death of the other party. The legislation, according to the current sponsor, Rep. Kathy LaNatra (D-Kingston), was originally fi led by Kingston’s former Rep.

After the accident, the rider of the other dirt bike promised James’ father that he would run and get help, yet instead fl ed the scene without returning. The other party was acquitted of negligent driving and only faced misdemeanor charges for leaving the scene of an accident. “I am proud to see the James Ward Act fi nally pass the House of Representatives,” said LaNatra. “We must hold those accountable who are guilty of the cowardly act of leaving the scene of an accident trying to escape the consequences.

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 11, 2022 avvya yavvy eniiooravvy S iorn or vvy io iori by Jim Miller Top Financial Scams Targeting Seniors Today Dear Savvy Senior, What are the most common scams today that target elderly seniors? My 75-year-old mother has been swindled several times over the past year, so I’m being extra cautious. Paranoid Patty Dear Patty, Great question! While many scams today are universal, there are certain types of fraud that specifi cally target older adults or aff ects them disproportionately. And unfortunately, these senior targeted scams are on the rise. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in 2021 there were 92,371 older victims of fraud resulting in $1.7 billion in losses. This was a 74 percent increase in losses compared to 2020. Here are fi ve of the most common senior scams that were reported last year, that both you and your mom should be aware of. Government imposter scams: These are fraudulent telephone calls from people claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration or Medicare. These scammers may falsely tell you that you have unpaid taxes and threaten arrest or deportation if you don’t pay up immediately. Or they may say your Social Security or Medicare benefi ts are in danger of being cut off if you don’t provide personal identifying information. They may even “spoof” your caller ID to make it look like the government is actually calling. Sweepstakes and lottery scams: These scams may contact you by phone, mail or email. They tell you that you’ve won or have the potential to win a jackpot. But you need to pay a fee, or cover taxes and processing fees to receive your prize, perhaps by prepaid debit card, wire transfer, money order or cash. Scammers may even impersonate well-known sweepstakes organizations, like Publishers Clearing House, to fool you. Robocalls and phone scam: Robocalls take advantage of sophisticated, automated phone technology to carry out a variety of scams on trusting older adults who answer the phone. Some robocalls may claim that a warranty is expiring on their car or electronic device, and payment is needed to renew it. These scammers may also “spoof” the number to make the call look authentic. One common robocall is the “Can you hear me?” call. When the older person says “yes,” the scammer records their voice and hangs up. The criminal then has a voice signature to authorize unwanted charges on items like stolen credit cards. Computer tech support scams: Theses scams prey on senior’s lack of knowledge about computers and cybersecurity. A popup message or blank screen usually appears on a computer or phone, telling you that your device is compromised and needs fi xing. When you call the support number for help, the scammer may either request remote access to your computer and/or that you pay a fee to have it repaired. Grandparent scam: The grandparent scam has been around for several years now. A scammer will call and say something along the lines of: “Hi Grandma, do you know who this is?” When the unsuspecting grandparent guesses the name of the grandchild the scammer most sounds like, the scammer has established a fake identity. The fake grandchild will then ask for money to solve some unexpected fi nancial problem (legal trouble, overdue rent, car repairs, etc.), to be paid via gift cards or money transfers, which don’t always require identifi cation to collect. Other Scams Some other popular scams targeting older adults right now are romance scams through social media and online dating sites, COVID-19 scams, investment scams, Medicare and health insurance scams, and Internet and email fraud.

They have already defeated Whittier Tech (48-34), Chelsea (38-12) and Somerville (44-12). But games against Melrose (46-26), Lynn Classical (22-6), Lynn English (8-6), Everett (42-6) and Revere (23-0) went into the loss column. Malden was 3-1 at one point, but the injuries started to pile up; that ended up spoiling its playoff plans. After losing its first eight games of the season, Beverly won the last two games against Swampscott (28-23) and Winchester (28-14). The win over the Sachems was the Panthers’ first non-playoff game. But now Malden is getting some of the walking wounded back, and coach Exilhomme is expecting a strong finish. “We are looking to finish 5-5 this year, which will be a success and a step in the right direction for this program,” he said. “This team has definitely overcome a lot this year.” Joining Malden in Week 10 action are a bunch more games; they are St. John’s of Shrewsbury at Lynn Classical; Lowell at Newton South; Haverhill at Lexington; Lawrence at Acton-Boxborough; Peabody at Westford Academy; Concord-Carlisle at Woburn; Winchester at Cambridge Rindge & Latin; North Andover at Waltham; Arlington at Lincoln-Sudbury; Beverly at Malden; Masco at Revere; Lynn English at Boston Latin; Dracut at Somerville; Tewksbury at Melrose; Newburyport at Burlington; Salem at Danvers; Wayland at Malden Catholic; Medford at Wilmington; Arlington Catholic at Ipswich; Swampscott at Winthrop; Gloucester at Triton; Pentucket at Greater Lowell; Saugus at Whittier Tech; O’Bryant at Weston; Brighton at Watertown; East Boston at Georgetown; South Boston/Excel at Chelsea; Minuteman at Hamilton-Wenham; and Tech Boston at Latin Academy. Belmont, Boston English and Roxbury Prep have opted out this week. Malden’s GBL rival Everett remains in the playoff hunt after beating host Taunton last Friday night, 33-14. The Tide will now face host Central Catholic in Lawrence on Friday night, starting at 5 p.m. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING CITY OF MALDEN A Public Hearing will be held by the Malden City Council at Malden City Hall in the Herbert L.

Walter Timilty (D-Milton). “We must take action here in Massachusetts to ensure our school custodial workers know we appreciate their hard work and dedication. I am happy to see this bill move out of the Senate and over to the House for action.” QUOTABLE QUOTES — The Baker administrationannounced grants totaling more than $4.1 million to help Massachusetts nonprofi t, faith-based organizations to improve physical security and protect against terroristic and hate-fueled attacks. The announcement was made at the 4th Annual Faith-Based Organizations Safety and Security Seminar hosted by the Commonwealth Fusion Center and attended by more than 150 federal, state, local and nonprofi t partners at the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center. Here are some of the quotes on the grant: “Protecting our commonwealth means protecting the organizations that are the pillars of our communities. We are committed to ensuring that these nonprofi ts and houses of worship are protected and that everyone can feel safe when they gather and worship.” ---Gov. Charlie Baker “Faith-based organizations provide important opportunities for people to worship, gather and connect with their faith and their community. Protecting these institutions from threats ensures that residents of every creed have a safe, dedicated space to engage in the life of their community.” ---Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito “These grants ensure that nonprofi t institutions where community members gather have the resources that they need to improve security. Ensuring the right to gather safely and to practice faith without fear is fundamental to our public safety goals.” ---Secretary of Public Safety and Security Terrence Reidy “Gathering places such as houses of worship have unique security needs. The grants awarded through this program will help the recipients increase the security of their facilities while continuing to provide the open and welcoming gathering places their communities rely on.” ---Offi ce of Grants and Research Executive Director Kevin Stanton HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and briefl ength 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. During the week of October 31-November 4, the House met for a total of four hours and 41 minutes and the Senate met for a total of fi ve hours and 55 minutes. Mon.

I joined Mango Realty Inc. in 2022 as a licensed real estate agent. I grew up in Charlestown, MA where my love of real estate began. I graduated from Suffolk University with a determination to start buying and flipping properties in my home town of Charlestown, MA. Welcome home. This two family with large units and an additional living space in the lower level. 5 Baths total. Unit 1 is New which holds a 4 Room 2 bedroom fireplace, washer and dryer. Unit 2 offers a 6 Room 3 Bedroom and 2 full baths with a fireplace that leads to dining area with sliding door overlooking deck where you could view miles of flat land. Generous size rooms with ceiling fans and plenty of storage space. 2 tier decks, heated pool. 2 car drive way with space for 8-10 cars, cabana with a full bath and a kitchen. Close to shopping malls, transportation, Airport, and more .....$819,000 SAUGUS I purchased my first 2 family home with my husband in 1997. I converted this home into 2 condominiums and renovated them for rental and eventually selling them for great profit which catapulted me into more and more investing opportunities in Charlestown. My next move was to start investing in areas that I felt were good opportunities to start spearheading my love of short term rentals which to me has been a game changer in my investment portfolio. In 2012, I bought a multi-family on Martha's Vineyard, MA and started renting by the day instead of by the month. I quickly realized that I could make the mortgage payment in a week instead of a month. For the past 7 years, I have been an Air bnb hostess and property manager for 6 properties; 3 in Rockport, MA, 2 on Martha's Vineyard and my newest property on Lake Mascoma, NH which is a sprawling lake front property my first 1031 exchange which is when you sell an investment property and to defer the capital gains tax, you purchase another investment property (definitely a little tricky). This is where my passion for real estate and investing is beneficial to guiding clients in either buying or selling their home. I know the ins and outs of how to think outside the box. How easily a coat of paint and staging can add thousands of dollars to selling a home or adding instant equity to a home. 20 Pamela Ln U-20 Amesbury, MA 01913 My experience has always taught me to buy properties that have potential or "good bones" in a desirable neighborhood.
