(Advocate photo by Tara Vocino) For the fi rst time since 1889, football is not on the menu for Nedlam – the Malden High School mascot – and the Golden Tornados players, cheerleaders, coaches and fans, because the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled the entire 2020 high school football season, including what would have been the 133rd Malden-Medford Thanksgiving football game. (Steve Freker Photo) High school players, fans going cold turkey with no Thanksgiving Day Football tomorrow COVID-19 has cancelled the entire HS slate this fall, including traditional holiday matchups By Steve Freker C old turkey’s going to take on a whole diff erent meaning in less than 24 hours, when people arise from their holiday slumber tomorrow morning and realize there is no high school football game to attend. When the reality sets in, that high-pitched wail you hear emanating from the greater Boston and North Shore region, particularly from such high school football strongholds as Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus, will be the sound of the thousands of folks who suddenly realize they have absolutely nothing to do until the mashed potatoes and gravy gets here. This is serious stuff here, folks. Everyone was well aware that there was not going to be a Thanksgiving football feast to complement the turkey and fi xings this year – we all got plenty of advance notice. But when reality really, truly arrives, sometime around 8 o’clock or so tomorrow morning, it is all over, close the curtains. There really, really is no Thanksgiving football game this year! In Malden, it means no game for the fi rst time since 1888!

School Committee chairperson and Mayor Gary Christenson at the meeting outlined an ambitious superintendent search timeline which included selecting an outside search fi rm, forming a search committee and following the process through the start of the new year. The goal would be to select a new superintendent by April 2021 with the intent of having that selectee in place by July 1. Supt. Oteri last week informed the School Committee he would not be seeking an extension to his existing contract and would be departing on June 30, 2021, at the close of this school year. Supt. Oteri last week informed the members that he intends to pursue other professional and personal options after serving the Malden Public Schools for the past three-plus years, since his appointment in April 2017. On Monday, the School Committee took a key fi rst step with an eventual 7-1 vote selecting the Edward J. Collins Center for Public Management at UMass Boston to head the superintendent search. The Collins Center was one of three groups seeking the contract, the others being the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC) and the New England School Development Council (NESDEC). The consensus vote selecting the Collins Center came on a third voting round, which followed a pair of deadlocked, 4-4 votes. It appeared the School Committee might have to wait until a future December meeting to make a decision, before one Committee member said he was willing to change his vote, citing a wish for expediency for the process. The first round, coming on a motion by Ward Five Member Adam Weldai to select the Collins Center, failed 4-4 with Weldai, Ward Three’s Jennifer Spadafora, Ward Seven’s Michelle Luong and Mayor Christenson voting “yes” and Ward Two’s Robert McCarthy Jr., Ward Four’s Leonard Iovino, Ward Six’s SUPERINTENDENT | SEE PAGE 17

Mayor Gary Christenson recently stopped by the home that he shares with his lovely wife of 50 years, Karen, and presented him with a citation in recognition of his milestone birthday. Spignese is proud of his four children and absolutely loves being a “Pampa” to his four grandchildren. A military veteran, Spignese has gotten much satisfaction from volunteering for Disabled Veterans and many other organizations. When Christenson asked Spignese his secret for such a long and healthy life, he said that “at least 25 pushups a day” is what keeps him young.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 25, 2020 Page 3 Malden launches Eviction Prevention Program M alden residents facing eviction will now have extra help staying in their homes through a new Eviction Prevention Program announced by the City of Malden and the Malden Redevelopment Authority (MRA). The program will provide court-based legal aid, mediation and rental assistance to Malden renters facing eviction. “No one should face an eviction alone, especially during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “This program ensures that every Malden resident facing eviction will have an advocate or mediator available to help them in court. The Eviction Prevention Program is an investment in our community and demonstrates our commitment to helping one another in times of great need and vulnerability.” In addition to legal aid and mediation, rental assistance funds will be available through the program to eligible Malden households. Households are eligible if they are being evicted by their landlord for nonpayment of rent, they meet income requirements and their inability to pay is related to the Coronavirus or the resulting economic downturn. Rental assistance is paid to landlords on behalf of tenants in order to prevent eviction and keep residents in their homes. The MRA, which administers the Eviction Prevention Program, has partnered with two local nonprofi ts to provide services in the two courts that receive eviction cases from Malden. Housing Families, Inc. (HFI) will provide legal aid and rental assistance in the Northeast Housing Court, which is in Woburn, and Just-A-Start Corporation will provide mediation and rental assistance in Malden District Court, which is currently located in Medford. Each nonprofi t’s program is funded with $250,000 in special Community Development Block Grant funds secured through the federal CARES Act. Both nonprofi ts have extensive experience providing courtbased eviction-prevention services to the Malden community. “Housing Families stands ready to help Malden renters in court to keep them in their homes during the worst housing crisis we’ve seen in more than 30 years serving Malden,” said HFI CEO Laura Rosi. “These local resources will help us stop evictions and keep the Malden community together. We are proud to partner with the City to meet the challenge of this moment.” “The pandemic has made the extent of our region’s housing crisis even clearer, and it has further destabilized communities throughout Greater Boston that were already challenged by high housing costs,” said JustA-Start Executive Director Carl Nagy-Koechlin. “Our experienced staff have been working since Day 1 in Malden District Court to help stabilize households during the pandemic, and these funds will help our eff orts to keep families safe and securely housed.” Landlords must have approval from a judge to carry out an eviction, which can only happen after a trial. Tenants have the right to stay in their apartment until a court orders them to leave after a trial. Households facing eviction in Northeast Housing Court should contact HFI at info@ housingfamilies.org or 781-3229119 ext. 8. Households facing eviction in Malden District Court should contact Just-A-Start Corporation at contact@justastart. org or 617-494-0444. Households needing rental assistance who have not been served with an eviction notice should contact Malden’s Director of Human Services and Community Outreach, Karen Colón-Hayes, at khayes@cityofmalden.org or 781-397-7144.

He went to his great reward in 2009 but not before leaving us a treasure trove of the written word to remember him by. He wrote a column for the Malden Evening News called “Then and Now” and one for the Malden Advocate called “Reminiscing with Bill Mini” that were pure pleasure and an essential read. It is from these columns that I gained much knowledge of everyday life in a Malden long gone, and mostly forgotten. It is also with great pleasure that I bring you one of my favorites. It appeared in the Malden Evening News June 14, 1993, simply titled, “All Roads Lead Back to Suffolk Square.” “They all played ball… “If you remember Zadle, Doody, Yosell, Yankel, Snootsie, Gorilla, Mustard, Shikie, Speed, Rusty, Natie, Apples, Cherry, Pickles, Pinky, Twisty, Pippy, Mugsie, Spinach, Ubie, Tiger Jack, Small Man, Buffle Carp, Putzil, Abie Gordan, and others too numerous to mention, then you can say you came from the old Suffolk Square. “All the above-mentioned guys at one time or another hung around Mrs. Gordon’s store on Cross Street. It was the only place where you could get a ‘2 cent plain’ and the chance to win a prize if you picked the chocolate candy that had the pink filling. Many a fingernail scratch could be seen on the bottoms of the candies. “They also had a target practice game. Today the machine shoots small steel balls. In those days it shot the penny that you put in the machine. If you got it in the hole the penny would return, and you’d get another try. Although there is no official record available, I have been told by Mike Golomb himself that he held the championship for the most wins. “Mrs. Gordon’s store was a meeting place for the boys. She thought highly of my good friend Jerry ‘Dowie’ Swartz and he was the only one allowed behind the counter. It was here that the guys would hang out and discuss their dates, basketball games or maybe a dance that was coming up. The dances were usually held after basketball games at the Lincoln Junior High gym. “There were several basketball teams in those days, namely the Bisets, Y.M.H.A., Rangers, ALCOAS, Macabees, Missions, and the Diamonds. The ‘Personality Kid,’ Putzil Glick, was the guy who booked all the games, dances, and events back then. They called Putzil the ‘Personality Kid,’ not only because of his popularity but because he used to wear a white suit made by Personality Clothes Company. When he opened his jacket, there covering the entire front of his vest were the 48 states. He was given a lot of attention when he came on the scene in those days. He is still the same today, personality busting out all over especially when he starts talking about the old days. “In those days we had a semipro baseball team in Malden. It was called the Malden Athletics. This was long before Babe Perrigo and the Twi-City league started in Malden. Hawkie Weiner played for the Athletics and Twister Nager was their star pitcher. “In those days pro teams would travel to various cities and put on exhibition games.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 25, 2020 Page 5 Sen. Lewis supports passage of FY 2021 Budget T he State Senate, on November 18, unanimously passed a $46 billion budget for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21). Passed with bipartisan support, the budget aims to move the Commonwealth toward an equitable recovery by making critical investments in sectors impacted by COVID-19, including early education and childcare, food security, housing supports and public health. “As our communities continue to struggle with both a public health and economic crisis, this budget represents an essential step forward to help our Commonwealth recover from the pandemic and rebuild a strong and equitable economy,” said State Senator Jason Lewis, who is Assistant Vice Chair of the Senate’s Committee on Ways and Means and Senate Chair of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Education. “I’m especially pleased that despite a significant decline in revenue, this budget invests substantially in early education and childcare – recognizing how critical this sector is for children, working families, and the state’s economic recovery – and also seeks to protect important public transit services that are currently at risk.” As COVID-19 continues to spread across the Commonwealth, the Senate budget preserves access to essential services for our most vulnerable residents. The budget funds MassHealth at a total of $18.2 billion to maintain critical access to aff ordable health care coverage for over 1.9 million people, ensuring that comprehensive care for our most vulnerable children, seniors and low-income residents is protected in the middle of a public health crisis. The Senate’s budget also includes targeted investments to maintain and expand access to mental health care while strengthening public health infrastructure at the local, state and regional level to combat the eff ects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Senate’s budget protects Massachusetts students and educational institutions. Continuing the Senate’s long-standing support of targeted investments in education, this budget holds harmless Chapter 70 funding in a manner consistent with the agreement reached between the Senate, House and Administration in July by providing $5.283 billion, an increase of $107.6 million over FY20. This additional level of investment will allow all school districts to maintain foundation spending levels while accounting for enrollment and inflation changes. The budget also includes $345 million for the Special Education (SPED) Circuit Breaker, reimbursing school districts for the cost of educating students with disabilities at the statutorily required 75 percent reimbursement rate. In addition to ensuring stability for the state’s K 12 population, the Senate’s budget takes steps to invest in childcare providers and higher education institutions – both of which are critically important to the state’s economy and recovery in midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Senate’s budget recommends a total of $46 billion in spending, a 5.5 percent increase over the Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) General Appropriations Act. This spending recommendation is based on a revised tax revenue estimate of $27.592 billion, which provides for $3,558 billion less in available revenue than the original consensus revenue estimate originally agreed on in January 2020. To close this anticipated revenue shortfall, the FY21 budget includes $1.5 bilThankful. Grateful. Inspired.

It is Said in Malden T By Steve Freker hat there were TWO rare, "Thanksgiving Week" meetings of the two major municipal bodies this week, a special meeting of the Malden School Committee Monday night and a Malden City Council meeting Tuesday night. Monday the school board established a timeline for a new superintendent search and last night the Councll voted on a residential and commercial tax factor for property tax assessments. **** That there still has been no "official" announcement, but everyone knows there will be no Annual Parade of Holiday Traditions on Saturday, for the first time in over 20 years! **** That one of the most time-honored traditions of the Malden High School sports galaxy, the annual "Burning of the Cleat" at the very last full Malden High football practice, would have happened yesterday around 4:30 p.m., right at dusk. **** That the cleat ceremony, where a guest speaker, usually a former Golden Tornado player of coach, would regale the present team with stories of the past and advice for today, was started by the late coach Bill Tighe in the 1960s, continued by his successor (and former player) Paul Finn for 26 more seasons and then by each of the five coaches who followed, to the present day. **** That a "washout" rainstorm is predicted for Thanksgiving Day this week, but still does not diminish the loss of the traditional Malden-Medford football game from the ranks this year, disrupting MANY streaks of attendance at the holiday event. **** That a tip 'o the cap is in order for DPW chief Bobby Knox and his crew for the stellar work they did over the past week decorating the street lights with festive holiday wreaths and bow in and around Malden Square. **** That Malden City Hall is on a half-day schedule today, closing at 12 noon, is closed tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day for the holiday, and is regularly closed on Fridays. So business will resume in our municipal operations center on Monday, November 30. **** That another "tradition" by the boards this year is the quick turnaround from fall to winter sports for the high schools, when tryouts for winter usually start the Monday after Thanksgiving football. Not so this year. Winter sports like basketball and hockey tentatively now start on Monday, December 14 with tryouts and games around January 7. It is all still "TBA," however. **** That report cards for the Malden Public Schools for the First Quarter marking period were mailed out to the homes of the nearly 6,500 students on Monday this week.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 25, 2020 Page 7 Local nonprofit partners with award-winning journalist to help teachers tackle contentious issues T he Immigrant Learning Center (ILC), in partnership with Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Jake Halpern, recently released a new, free resource, “Welcome to the New World: Curriculum and Learning Guide,” for teachers who are looking for engaging ways to teach about timely issues like migration, refugees and the Syrian Civil War. It is intended to accompany Halpern’s latest book, “Welcome to the New World,” a graphic novel based on the real-life experiences of a family of Syrian refugees who arrived in Connecticut on Election Day in 2016. The Curriculum and Learning Guide is well suited for language arts, social studies, current events and world history classes in grades seven through 11. These flexible lesson plans can be used individually or collectively as a curriculum and are easily adapted to other classes. Immigration, refugee resettlement and asylees are contentious and not well-understood topics. In an overheated political environment, it can be difficult to bring these issues into a classroom. The “Welcome to the New World” curriculum brings the refugee experience to life in a uniquely relatable way. This project started in 2016 when Halpern and “Welcome to the New World” illustrator Michael Sloan met the Aldabaan family as they arrived in the United States. Halpern and Sloan documented the family’s experiences in a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoon series in The New York Times, which formed the basis for the graphic novel. The story is told mainly from the perspective of the teenage son. This perspective makes the story relatable for many students, and the graphic format makes the material particularly engaging. Halpern chose to partner with ILC on this curriculum because of its track record providing high-quality, free professional development for educators and its partnerships with well-known organizations, such as the Anti-Defamation League, Teaching Tolerance, Re-Imagining Migration and many schools and universities. For more than a decade, ILC has provided in-person and online workshops, videos and a wealth of other resources for teaching immigration-related topics as well as serving immigrant students. This project is the first in an upcoming series of free, immigration-related curricula from ILC. “Welcome to the New World: Curriculum and Learning Guide” is currently available for free at the ILC website at www.ilctr.org/promoting-immigrants/ilc-workshops/educators-2/ and will be published on sharemylesson.com. PLAYERS| FROM PAGE 1 Their game with Medford is the second-oldest continuous rivalry in the nation, for goodness’ sake! Game #133 was supposed to be tomorrow. “Was” is the operative word. Not happening now, kids. How about in Revere? Tomorrow the Patriots were supposed to be meeting traditional rival Winthrop for the 92nd time. Oh, what a glorious day it will be in 2028 for the Centennial 100th meeting! Uh, wait a minute. That will be delayed a year, now. At least. And in Saugus? It would have been the 74th meeting with Peabody between the longtime Turkey Day foes. Last year the final game in storied Sachem history was played at good old Stackpole Field as the new Saugus High includes a new football field as well. Will this game now be played sometime next March? Will Saugus still get a home game to open its new field in the fall of 2021? You need Agatha Christie to write the next chapter of this mystery. The pain in Everett will not be quite as severe, as the Crimson Tide was looking at a year without a Thanksgiving Day game anyway, as Masconomet, which had played Everett on Turkey Day the past couple of years, including a game at Fenway Park in fabled coach John DiBiaso’s finale, had pulled out of the relationship after three years. Not having any football all this fall season stung just as sharply as at the other schools, though. There will be the regular NFL games flooding the TVs tomorrow, of course, but it will not be even close to the same. High school football on Thanksgiving is oh, so much more than just going to the game – seeing old teammates, renewing friendships with former classmates and just getting out there and soaking it all in, whether your team wins or does not. How many of us see people at Thanksgiving football games and that is the only time we see them all year! Most of us? All of us? We cherish those moments so much and we look forward to them all year. Thanksgiving Day football matters. It really does, and now it is simply not going to happen because of COVID-19, a sinister thief over which we have no control. This is going to be a very tough loss in a year in which we have already lost so much. Now we know exactly how Charlie Brown feels the second after Lucy pulls the ball away.

Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 25, 2020 House passes balanced budget with targeted investments in housing, economic development and food security S tate Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian along with her colleagues in the House of Representatives passed a Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) budget that invests in programs and services across the Commonwealth. Funded at $46 billion, the House budget aims to address the sweeping effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic by making targeted investments in housing, food security, substance use addiction services and domestic violence, sexual assault treatment and prevention programs. The budget also invests in programs that provide COVID-related supports for students and increases funding for developmental services. “Amid this unprecedented global pandemic, the House passed a budget that helps protect those most vulnerable among us as a result of the widespread effects of COVID-19, with significant investments in housing, substance addiction programs, food security, and economic development,” said House Speaker Robert DeLeo. “I am proud that this budget also furthers the House’s ongoing efforts to help survivors of domestic and sexual assault, safeguard women’s reproductive rights, protect the environment, and support high-quality early education and care. I thank Chair Michlewitz for his thoughtful work, and my colleagues in the House who played a critical role in this process including Vice Chair Garlick and Representative Malia.” “I am grateful to Speaker DeLeo and Chairman Michelwitz for their leadership in passing this critical budget,” said Lipper-Garabedian. “The investments we are making in such instrumental aspects of our communities – funding our public education system, addressing housing and food security, supporting labor and economic development, and prioritizing our environment – are essential. I also was proud to vote to remove medically unnecessary barriers to reproductive health care in Massachusetts. None of this would have been possible without the hard work of my colleagues.” “This budget is the product of tireless work over the past few months that focuses on the challenges our constituents face in the midst of this difficult time, while avoiding any drastic cuts, something that was unthinkable back in the Spring,” said State Representative Aaron Michlewitz, who is Chair of the House’s Committee on Ways and Means. “In times of need, people rely on the services that government provides. Vital areas like housing stability, food security, education funding and combating the growing concerns surrounding domestic violence and substance addiction, are all areas we prioritize in this budget. I would like to thank Speaker DeLeo for his guidance during this process, as well as Vice-Chair Garlick, Representative Malia, and all the members of the House for their support during these difficult circumstances.” “I join with my colleagues in passing a state budget that stabilizes our communities and sustains valuable services for Massachusetts to be strong now and resilient in the future,” said State Representative Denise Garlick, who is Vice Chair of the House’s Committee on Ways and Means. “This budget holds true to the promise of education resources and local aid while protecting the hungry, the homeless, and those hurt by illness or economic hardship. We appreciate the leadership, experience and steady hand of Speaker DeLeo, and we are grateful to Chair Michlewitz for his extraordinary engagement in understanding and meeting the needs of our constituents and Commonwealth.” The House continues to further its commitment to cities and towns by investing $1.1 billion in Unrestricted General Government Aid (UGGA) and providing $5.3 billion in Chapter 70 education funding. The GRANTS| FROM PAGE 2 with the additional costs of remote learning. “As an educator, I fully understand the challenges remote learning presents for students and their families,” said State Representative Steven Ultrino (D-Malden). “I’m proud that Malden could partner with the Executive Office of Education to gain these desperately needed funds to support all of our students and their families as remote learning continues.” “Support is needed during this pandemic for remote learning for both Malden educators and students,” said State Representative Paul Donato. “I am pleased that Malden was able to secure the grants funded by the CARES Act Relief Fund and the Governor’s Emergency EduHouse budget education allocations include: ● $53 million (M) in COVID-related student supports ● $340M for Circuit Breaker Special Education reimbursement ● $117M for Charter School reimbursement ● $82M for Regional School Transportation reimbursement Due to the pandemic, access to safe and affordable housing for many families across the Commonwealth is threatened. The House budget represents its ongoing commitment to housing and homelessness-prevention funding. This year, the House makes targeted investments into rental and housing assistance to combat the eviction crisis by providing: ● $50M for the Residential Assistance for Families in Transition Program (RAFT) ● $135M for the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) ● $80M for public housing subsidies ● $56M for homeless individual shelters ● $13M for homeless student transportation ● $11M for Department of Mental Health Rental Subsidy Program ● $8M for unaccompanied homeless youths Keeping in mind the widespread economic effects of the COVID pandemic, the House makes specific investments in laBUDGET | SEE PAGE 15 cation Relief Fund to assist them at this time.” “As a former seventh grade teacher and a mother of a remote learner, I know just how important it is to have the necessary supports in place for our students to succeed,” said State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose). “I am glad that these grant funds will provide the students of Malden and their educators with additional resources and opportunities to enhance their educational experience during these unprecedented times.” If you have any questions about the Executive Office of Education’s Remote Learning Support Services Grants or their impact on Malden Public Schools, please contact Representative Ultrino at (617) 722-2460 or Steven.Ultrino@MaHouse.Gov.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 25, 2020 Page 9 FOOTBALL| FROM PAGE 1 event after event, it has been an unending series of postponements, reschedules and most of all, outright cancellations with no hope of a “TBA” in sight. STORY INSIDE: We rate Top 10 most memorable Malden wins One of the biggest iconic sports events to topple and disappear this year was the Boston Marathon, which has gone on, in some form, continuously since 1897. Well, the ancient Malden-Medford Thanksgiving Day football rivalry is older! For the first time since 1889, Malden-Medford 2020 will carry a gigantic asterisk: *NO GAME– COVID-19. There is no game tomorrow due to the fact the entire high school football season has been cancelled and moved to a “Fall 2” season that, at this time, is designated to start on Feb 22, 2021. Just like that – poof. The longest-standing and most storied tradition of two neighboring high schools vanishes. First game played on a random Tuesday in 1889 The first game was played eight and half years before the Boston Marathon even started, on October 15, 1889. The game was played five months after the Eiffel Tower opened to the public in France and just over three months after renowned abolitionist Frederick Douglass began serving in his post as U.S. Ambassador to Haiti. The Malden-Medford game was not always played on Thanksgiving. As you can see, the first one was played on a random Tuesday, October 15, 1889, a game won by Medford, 34-0. The two teams actually played a second time that year, on Saturday, November 30. There are few high school sporting events that compare to the annual Malden-Medford Thanksgiving Day rivalry. Tomorrow’s cancelled matchup would have been the 133rd meeting between the two schools. Every year the Thanksgiving Day game is basically its own season. It really is true about “throwing out the records.” Many a time a Malden or Medford team has come in with a subpar record, even winless, and put it together to grab a “season-saver” victory. The first meeting between the two schools was played on October 15, 1889, at the Medford Cricket Grounds. Medford easily beat Malden by a score of 34-0, but the game was not without controversy. Malden accused Medford of using players from Tufts and MIT. In response to the complaints, Medford hosted Malden in a rematch on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and won the game 4-0, the only scoring being a field goal (then worth four points) by the Mustangs. After these humble beginnings, the two schools have played the game continuously – through the Flu Pandemic of 1919-1920 and two World Wars. First time in over 100 years, no football on Thanksgiving This will be the first time in over 100 years, since the game began to be held on Thanksgiving Day in 1899, that the game won’t be played tomorrow on the holiday. Over the years, the two schools have played many memorable games. —In 1899, the series moved to Thanksgiving Day, its traditional date every year since. The 1899 game also set an attendance record at the time with 1,500 spectators, and it was especially disappointing to Malden fans, who brought a large balloon that they planned to fly over the field with Malden’s winning score written on it. Bubble burst, Malden! —In 1905, Malden installed ex-Dartmouth and Everett High end Matt Bullock as coach specifically for the Medford game and upset the Mustangs, 27-0, in the first game at Bryant Street Park in Malden. —The 1906 matchup was the first game in which a forward pass was legal. Malden used the pass to score (touchdowns were worth 5 points that year) but lost the game to Medford by a score of 6-5, earning the Medford a Suburban League title. —In 1908, the rivalry heated up and got nasty. With the game tied at 0-0, a Medford touchdown was called back on a penalty. Medford was then given a 40-yard penalty for “slugging” and also saw one of theirs ejected. After a police officer escorted the player off the field, Malden scored the only touchdown of the day for the 6-0 victory. —In 1924, a new attendance record was set in when 15,000 people saw Malden get 4 touchdowns from quarterback “Sheep” Jackson in the second half to take the game, 27-6. —The record lasted five years, until 1929. That year the all-time largest crowd of 18,500 (with 2,000 to 3,000 additional spectators outside the stadium) saw Malden captain Sam Fishman score the only score of the day on a 55yard punt return. The win also earned Malden its fifth EMass championship. Malden got national attention in 1948 —The post-World War II years of 1947 and 1948 had both Malden and Medford receiving national attention. Medford topped Malden in 1947, 13-7, to win the Class A State Championship and earned the Mustangs an invitation to represent a national-level game at the Gator Bowl in Florida. —In 1948, Malden won, 3314, over a “peaks and valley” descent Medford that came in at 0-9, and clinched a Class A state title and an invitation to the Gator Bowl. Malden went on the Gator Bowl victory, 140, over Lee, Fla., on December 11, 1948, and came home to a hero’s welcome. —In 1951, both teams entered the Thanksgiving game unbeaten. Malden, with one tie, was out of contention for a state title, but could still stop Medford (8-0) from claiming the title. The Tornadoes prevailed, 19-0, and denied their rivals their sixth state title. —The 1969 game was memorable, the game involving a dramatic story line. After receiving 60 stitches in his head, as a result of a car accident the night before, Malden co-captain Dave Moulton watched the first half from the sidelines as a precaution. With Malden trailing, 6-0, to Medford at the half, Moulton suited up and convinced Coach Bill Tighe to let him onto the field In the second half. Moulton entered the game and led a game-winning Tornado rally, scoring two touchdowns as part of 26 unanswered points as the Tornados rolled past Medford, 26-6. —Former Tornado star Paul Finn (Class of 1965) became the youngest head coach in Malden history when, at age 25, he took the reins of the football team in 1973 from his own former coach Bill Tighe. In just two seasons, he steered Malden to back-toback Thanksgiving wins (4215 in 1974 and 14-8 in 1975) and two GBL co-championships in a row led by a slew of Golden Tornado Hall-of-Famers, including Jack Freker, Mark Burns, Jeff Sullivan, Pops Ruelle, John Stanasek, Don Roach, Charlie Russell and Shawn Brickman. —The 1978 Turkey Day contest was the last year when the rivalry featured state champiFOOTBALL| SEE PAGE 12 A new home for Malden Auto Body of Everett A landmark on Route 99 in Everett was recently torn down to make way for the Encore resort casino project.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 25, 2020 Foundation Trust provides studio space for Malden artist’s first solo exhibit By Tara Vocino M alden artist Rebecca Flores-Mantilla hosted her first solo artist exhibit at Follow Your Art Community Studios in Melrose on Friday night – the first Foundation Trust “Emerging Artist.” The Foundation Trust provided a year-long studio space and a $300 supply stipend. The Foundation Trust seeks to advance inclusivity in the arts across cultural, neurological and gender identities, according to Foundation Trust Manager Lauren Liecau. “Just trying to find a space can be challenging, but to have someone provide it is a blessing,” said Flores-Mantilla, who showcased nine pieces and provided refreshments. Foundation Trust Executive Director Dr. Joseph Spinazzola congratulated Flores-Mantilla. “The Foundation Trust is proud to foster inclusivity in the arts in our community by creating new opportunities for diverse artists, such as this partnership with Follow Your Heart Community Studios,” Spinazzola said. Liecau said viewing Flores-Mantilla’s work after a tumultuous year is meaningful. “She created a special collection that reflects on our connections and memories, linked to food, family and culture – something all of us can relate to, particularly around the holidays.” The 2021 Emerging Artist Fellow is Gisella Bonilla, an Afro-Latina, who plans to create a series that she hopes will provoke conversations about healing from abuse, according to Liecau.

Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 25, 2020 TOP 10 MOST MEMORABLE MALDEN THANKSGIVING DAY GAMES! T he Malden Advocate has researched the extensive Malden-Medford Thanksgiving Day history and compiled a list of what we think are the TOP 10 MOST MEMORABLE GAMES of all time. (Compiled by Steve Freker) #10–Malden 42, Medford 15 (November 26, 1974) Malden routs Medford, 4215, at Pearl Street Stadium for second-year head coach Paul Finn’s first Turkey Day win of his 26-year career and share of the first Greater Boston League title since 1969. Tornado Co-Captain Jeff Sullivan rushed for 130 yards and scored two touchdowns; John Stanasek passed for two TDs and four conversion points; John Ruelle had a touchdown and a two-point conversion; Mark Burns, Paul Coleman and junior Steve Defillipis scored TDs; Steve Carlin netted a two-point conversion and Shawn Brickman kicked two PATs. All-Scholastic Co-Captain Jack Freker and defensive backs Steve Carpenter and Charlie Russell led the Malden defense. #9–Malden 59, Medford 36 (November 26, 2015) They went out to a high school football contest…and a Madden NFL Game broke out. Scoring was fast and furious in this as Malden rolled to a 59-36 win, in the highest-scoring game in series history. The win was significant in that it clinched the Tornados’ first GBL Championship since 1988, breaking a 27-year title drought. The Exilhomme Brothers, Danley and DJ, who both went on to star at Central Connecticut State University, dominated this one, scoring six TDs between them. Head coach Joe Pappagallo, who had steered Malden to a dramatic win over Everett (first time since 1992) two weeks earlier, retired after seven years at the helm and a 6-1 coaching record on Thanksgiving Day. #8–Malden 26, Medford 6 (November 27, 1969) In a scene out of a movie script, senior co-captain Dave Moulton, sidelined with 60 stitches in his head after an automobile accident the night before the game, comes off the bench in the second half including a 46-yard toss to Carmine Cappuccio. Roderick also scored a TD and J.P. Kelley had an interception for Malden. #3–Malden 6, Medford 0 (November 28, 1929) With both teams coming and scores two touchdowns to lead Malden to a 26-6 win over Medford and earn a share of the GBL title with Quincy. Malden had trailed, 6-0, at the half, with Moulton relegated to the sidelines in street clothes. In a scene we assure you would never be replicated today, “Moultie” convinced legendary Malden coach Bill Tighe to let him on the field and led his team to a win, complete with bloody bandages at the end of the game. #7–Malden 19, Medford 14 (November 28, 1955) Dom Fermano was no stranger to Thanksgiving Day exploits, having scored twice in a Malden win over Medford as a star junior one year previously. In his senior season, with the game and the GBL Championship on the line, Malden trailed, 14-13, with under three minutes to play. Not for long. Fermano took a pitch, found some space and raced 40 yards for a Tornado touchdown, electrifying the crowd and giving Malden the winning points – and the GBL title, with a 19-14 victory. #6– Malden 19, Medford 0 (November 22, 1951) For only the second time in series history, both teams came into the game unbeaten. Malden, at 7-0-1, was not in the running for either a league or Class A State Title. Medford, at 8-0, would share the Class A State Championship and league crown with Weymouth, if the Mustangs prevailed. Malden sent the Mustangs home empty-handed, no longer unbeaten, with a decisive, 19-0 victory. Malden finished with its last undefeated season at 8-0-1, and Weymouth won the league and Class A titles by winning its Thanksgiving game over (get this) Greenfield, Vermont, clinching a perfect 9-0 finish, its 37th straight win, spanning four years. TIE @ #5–Malden 12, Medford 2 (November 26, 1931) A 12-2 win over Medford finishes Malden with its second unbeaten season (9-0-1) and Class A State Co-Championship in three years. Touchdowns by Sam Pashoian and Lloyd Tupper led the way. and Malden 0, Medford 0 (November 28, 1935) Defensive purists exult! The punting and the leg of Malden’s “Chuckin” Charlie O’Rourke, one of the best quarterbacks to ever wear the Blue and Gold, and that of Medford Captain Art Wareham dominated in a battle of lines in a 0-0 tie, the second straight in the series that enabled Malden to finish unbeaten (8-0-1) FOOTBALL| FROM PAGE 9 onship implications. Medford had to rely on a 19-yard field goal from Franz Ebert to win the game, 9-7, and cement their place in the Division 1 Super Bowl, where the Mustangs went on to defeat the Rebels of Walpole for the school’s first state crown in 31 years. 100th Game drew national television coverage —In 1987, led by a team that would eventually be inducted to win the Eastern Mass. Class A State title. #4–Malden 28, Medford 0 (November 26, 1987) Who knew that the series would have the longevity it did possess, all the way up to 100 games? Malden-Medford celebrated in grand style, with commemorative program books and rings for all the participants, and Malden capped one of its best seasons in school history with a 28-0 shutout win, its eighth straight after an Opening Day loss to Melrose, at breezy Hormel Stadium. Malden drove to an undefeated (8-0) Greater Boston League Championship, its first in 12 years, and its best record (9-1) in over 30 years. The game drew a huge crowd and included national television coverage by sports commentator Bob Costas. A pregame pep talk to Malden by former Tornado legend Dave Moulton appeared on national TV that day. Lawrence Hicks ran for 118 yards and scored two touchdowns. Bill Roderick passed for 152 yards, into the Tornado Hall of Fame, Malden defeated Medford, 280, in the 100th Game between the two rivals, as 12,000 filled the stands at Hormel Stadium in Medford. Malden was led by Hall-of-Famers split end Carmine Cappuccio and tailback Lawrence Hicks – each scoring 2 TDs – QB Billy Roderick and future NFLer Dan Jones and the top tackler in the GBL, Brian Hatch. The game drew national TV coverage as commentator Bob Costas interviewed Malden star Cappuccio at halftime into the game undefeated, an all-time series record crowd of 18,500 inside the fence and an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 outside saw Malden captain Sam Fishman lead the Golden Tornados to an unbeaten season (90-1) and a share of the Eastern Mass. title by returning a punt 55-yards for the only score of the game as Medford (7-1-0) fell by a 6-0 score. Coming just two weeks after the stock market crash, which signaled the start of the Great Depression, this win lifted football fans’ spirits. #2–Malden 35, Medford 0 (November 24, 1910) Six different players scored as Malden clinched State and Suburban League titles with its 13th straight victory, 35-0. Malden finished with its best, most wins, only undefeated, untied (13-0-0) season in school history and went on to beat Providence (R.I.) Tech, 29-8, in a postseason game at Bryant Street Park. #1–Malden 33, Medford 14 (November 25, 1948) Dan Duggan scored twice and led Gator Bowl-bound Malden to a 33-14 win, an unbeaten 9-0-1 record and Class A State Championship. Malden would go on to be crowned “National Champs” in the Kiwanis charity game after blanking Robert E. Lee HS, 14-0, in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., Malden’s only football appearance in a game of this stature. and broadcast the clip during halftime of the Lions-Cowboys game! —In 2015, Malden broke the league championship drought – for both teams – when the Tornados topped Medford, 59-36, in the highest-scoring game in series history, to clinch its first Greater Boston League championship in 27 seasons, since 1988. Head coach Joe Pappagallo resigned after the game, completing seven years and a sparkling 6-1 personal coaching mark on Turkey Day.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 25, 2020 Page 13 THEY’RE COMING! Lynn Classical and Lynn English cleared to join GBL in 2021 NEC votes 12-0 to let “Lynns” leave league as of June 2021 By Steve Freker A nd then there were EIGHT! That’s how many teams are now in the fold as the Greater Boston League (GBL) got the great news it had been waiting for on Friday morning when officials learned that Lynn Classical High School and Lynn English High School will be officially joining the GBL as full members beginning in June 2021. The final hurdle was passed Friday when the Northeastern Conference (NEC) principals voted unanimously, 12-0, to approve the petition of the two Lynn high schools to leave the NEC immediately, without a potential two-year wait period. The Bulldogs of Lynn English and the Rams of Lynn Classical will be ready for competition as “GBLers” for the fall season of the 2021-22 school year. The addition of the two Lynn schools, which officially came about in lightning fashion, in a span of just two weeks, bolsters the GBL to eight teams, the largest the league has been since the early 2000s. The league already includes Everett, Malden, Medford, Revere, Somerville and Chelsea (rejoining the GBL in the fall of 2021). The addition of Lynn Classical and Lynn English in June will make it an eightteam league. Many around the region have stated that with the addition of the two Lynn schools the GBL will become the top urban-based high school league in Massachusetts. There has been talk of the two Lynn teams coming in the GBL ever since the four GBLers – Everett, Malden, Medford and Somerville – indicated they’d like to end their brief, two-year pilot program stay in the NEC at the end of the 2018-2019 school year. Revere quickly left the NEC and joined the GBL midway through the summer of 2019 as the league grew to five members. The move of the two Lynn schools picked up steam when it became known they had officially petitioned the NEC to leave the league in which they had been charter members for over 30 years. On November 13, the GBL Board officially voted unanimously, 6-0, to officially welMALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 4 ed on the corner of Pearl and Charles Streets. That was the only real hit for the Braves because the ‘Suffolk Square Kid,’ Twisty Nager, cooled down the Braves allowing no more runs. After the game was over, the Braves’ coach offered Twisty a spot on their farm team. Twisty asked how much salary he would receive. When he was told there was no salary attached Twisty quipped back, “I make more money selling ice cream at the dog track.” He refused to join the team and the Braves left town without him. “There were two local footLynn Classical football celebrated a 22-9 Thanksgiving win over archrival Lynn English last year.

They played with very little equipment because they could not afford to buy any. But they did manage to wear football jerseys that were all the same. The games were played all over the city at such places as Dell Park (now Roosevelt Park). And of course, the old Malden High football field located where the Newland Street housing project now stands. There were good ball players in those days. “One day while the team Lynn English girls’ basketball played Lynn English in a rivalry matchup last year. (Courte come the two schools as members to join the GBL. “It was an easy decision and we are thrilled as a league that Lynn Classical and Lynn English wanted to become part of the Greater Boston League,” Malden High School Principal and GBL President Chris Mastrangelo said at the time of the vote. “We will become a stronger, eight-team league with these two great additions. Moving forward, we believe the GBL will be the premier urban-based league in Massachusetts.” Immediately, the GBL becomes stronger in basketball as the Lynn English boys basketball team is the two-time defending MIAA Division 1 State Champion. The Bulldogs are also highly competitive in boys and girls soccer and track. Classical has been solid in football, soccer, boys basketball and baseball in the past several years. Both of the Lynn schools’ athletic directors were pleased with the vote and the new move to the GBL. “We’re incredibly excited to join the GBL,” said Lynn Classical Athletic Director Bill Devin. “We feel that this really is the best fit for both sides, and we’re still going to look forward to scheduling and playing our NEC foes in our non-conference games going forward.” “I’m glad to see the league [NEC] went with this and made it a smooth transition,” said Lynn English Athletic Director Dick Newton. “This is pretty much how I expected things would go, and I think it’s a great move for both sides. “We move into an eightteam league [GBL]; they GBL | SEE PAGE 22 was practicing at the old high school field they were met by visitors from the corners of Ferry and Belmont Streets.

They picked on the wrong guys this day because these Jewish boys were tough, and before long the ‘Monkey Corner Gang’ was seen fleeing up Rich Street with their tails between their legs never to return.” To be continued. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – the undefeated 1929 Lincoln Junior High football team was stacked with what Bill referred to as “members of the Jewish faith.” They were the “boys from Suffolk Square.” Young Jewish boys like Captain Harry Berg, Abraham Miller, Joseph Weinberg, Isaac Rigmont, Tommy Lutch and Leonard Lutes went 7-0 and outscored their opponents by an amazing 180-6. In Game 4, they blew out the Centre School of Malden 88-6. Actually, Lincoln went undefeated for the third consecutive year, going 25-0 in the process. The annual Football Banquet was held in November 1929 at the Malden Club Banquet Hall catered by Fitzgerald Brothers. Principal Galvin could not attend due to a “heavy cold” contracted by “following the boys at practice.” Superintendent of Schools Mr. Marshall was the toastmaster and introduced the school committee. The “popular football official” James Parker was the principal speaker and gave the boys “much good advice” according to written accounts from the day. Coach Dempsey and Coach Goodreau were “loud in their praise of the boy’s spirit and success.” Each player was given a pencil. Mr. Galvin was presented with a gold piece by the team, and Mr. Dempsey was awarded a gold football. For those unfamiliar with the term “boys from Suffolk Square” here is a (very) short tutorial. The Suffolk Square area was located around Bryant/Cross Street and was heavily populated with most of the Jewish population in Malden. A large community, it consisted of Jewish delis, houses of worship, a movie theater and much more. It was a vibrant, robust neighborhood until Urban Renewal reared its ugly head. Unfortunately, very few remnants of that beloved Jewish enclave exist today. Former residents scattered against the wind. Michael Goldman, Norman Greenbaum (and many others, including most of West Peabody) mourn to this very day. Postscript 1: I simply cannot imagine better nicknames than the “boys from Suffolk Square” had! Postscript 2: I had the great pleasure of meeting Bill (Mini’s) great-granddaughter Sara (Mini) this morning, a wonderful young woman. Bill, you’d be darn proud! Postscript 3: Don’t ya wish you could time travel back and spend just a couple of hours in Mrs. Gordon’s variety store? Postscript 4: In my eyes the late great Bill Mini will always be the foremost authority, historically and contemporarily speaking, on the city of Malden. In my lifetime nobody could touch Bill’s memories as he lovingly documented the many diverse neighborhoods, the many historic events and the many colorful characters that the city has produced. His obituary made mention of him graduating Malden High School in 1940, being a World War II veteran and attending Fitchburg State, where he received his teaching degree. It also told of his love of photography and his joy of painting (a Bill Mini original hangs proudly on my living room wall). But in my opinion his obit could have gone on for 25 pages and not tell the complete story of this extraordinary man’s life.

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 25, 2020 Neighbors concerned about bike path reducing property values Councillors reassure: Trail must have support of private land owners to continue By Tara Vocino A pproximately 12 homeowners met on Saturday afternoon to advocate against building an approximately eight to 15-foot-wide bike/walking path, called the Spot Pond Brook Greenway, that they say would take and demolish a section of private land. Forming an informal group called “No Way to the Greenway,” they’re fighting against the project in its proposed location. “We’re not against it per se, but we’re against it affecting our property,” said resident Pamela West-Turco, who would consider moving with her family if it passes. In its feasibility study stage, the path is a 1-mile cut-through from Oak Grove Station to downtown Malden. Councillor-at-Large Stephen Winslow, who is an avid bicyclist, said that from his years of work on regional bike trails, including the Northern Strand in Malden, he knows that trails can only be built on public land with agency support and/or with the cooperation of private land owners. “My understanding is that research on the land ownership issue of Spot Pond Brook routes has not been completed, so I cannot really comment on those issues at this time,” Winslow said in a separate interview on Sunday night. “The purpose of a feasibility study, such as the one being done on the Spot Pond Greenway, is to look at potential routes, review plans and deeds that help establish ownership and to also determine which routes have public support.” Agreeing, Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley, who is spearheading the project, said in another interview Sunday night that various routes are being investigated, including the Main Street corridor, the Washington Street corridor and on public property or drainage easements along the original course of the Spot Pond Brook. As part of this process, the city has conducted the first of three community engagement meetings to solicit community input as part of this study. O’Malley invited residents to register for the Wednesday, Dec. 9 public hearing at 6 p.m. via Zoom at cityofmalden. zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ micxs5icTh-FnDOj6kh5gA. However, resident Margaret Geiren said that since she and Where they feel the Greenway should be built along Winter Street across from Oak Grove – in the bottom row: Georgina Oduro and Pamela West-Turco.

Understanding COVID-19 regulations, she feels their voices fell on deaf ears as a result. “The whole point of this feasibility study is to engage landscape architects and civil engineers to determine the feasibility of these routes and research property ownership records,” O’Malley said. “The final route hasn’t been selected.” However, bicyclist Joanne Silva, who is an abutter, said it’s too close for comfort, citing a noise disturbance and invasion of privacy when cyclists cut through her yard along the pathway. Winslow went on to say that he and his wife had poor experiences bicycling on the streets of the Oak Grove area when they An aerial view of six properties that would be affected. first moved to Malden. The trail will separate motor vehicle traffic from walkers, joggers and bicyclists. Winslow added that the 1996 Bike to the Sea feasibility study process went through a similar controversy with one neighborhood in Revere. “The route of the Bike to the Sea trail shifted from the original vision to go directly towards Revere Beach along the southern edge of the Rumney Marsh – which was owned by numerous private landowners – to a longer route to Lynn that followed the Saugus Branch railbed that was owned by the MBTA,” Winslow said. “Great to say that by the end of 2021, that route will be paved from Malden through Revere and Saugus to Western Avenue in Lynn and beyond.” According to O’Malley, the project has been funded in part by the MassTrails Grants program and the Malden Community Preservation Committee, which allowed Malden to hire Shadley Associates, landscape architects, who designed the rehabilitated Waitt’s Mount Park, River’s Edge and upgraded Coytemore Lea Park. The firm is currently working on the revitalization of Trafton and Devir Parks in the Maplewood and Edgeworth neighborhoods, respectively.

Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 25, 2020 OBITUARIES Frank W. “Uncle Frank” Noel 86, passed away Saturday, November 21, 2020, peacefully at home with his family members by his side following a brief illness. A son of the late Arthur J. Noel and the late Nellie Summers Noel, however, Frank was raised by his late Uncle Ernie and Grandmother (Ernest W. Noel and Lexi Morrison Noel) in Malden. Frank was born on September 28, 1934, in the family home. He was a hard worker from an early age, taking jobs shining shoes, delivering newspapers, and working on cars. His greatest enjoyment as a child and teenager was his Pony Boy Ice-cream route, where he delivered and sold ice-cream via cart and pony throughout Malden, Everett, Revere and Chelsea. At the age of 18, Frank enlisted in the United States Navy, serving for four years, with some of that time covering the Korean War years. Leaving Malden High School early, he received his G.E.D. in Madison, Wisconsin, while training with the U.S. Navy. As fate would have it, he was stationed at the U.S. Naval Yard (Charlestown, MA), just a few miles from his home on the icebreaker U.S.S. Edisto, where his older brother “AJ” was already on board, soon to become his shipmate. During his time in the Navy, he was part of Operation Deep Freeze, a mission to Antarctica where he spent almost four months and began his love of Penguins. While in the South Pole, he was also given a small lot of land called Penguin Patio, which he loved telling people about whenever he could. “I own land in Antarctica,” he would exclaim! During his four years in the Navy, he was able to see a lot of the world, including the Panama Canal, Lima, Peru, Reykjavik, Iceland, and his favorite place, Auckland, New Zealand. He loved the Navy, and although not a big football fan until later in his life, he always paid attention to the Army-Navy game results. After his military service, he was given a nickel for expenses to get ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 208 Cambridge Street Cambridge, MA 02141 (617) 768-5800 Docket No. MI20P5199EA Estate of: David Arteaga Date of Death: 10/22/2020 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL ADJUDICATION To all interested persons: A Petition for Formal Adjudication of Intestacy and Appointment of Personal Representative has been filed by Michael Arteaga of Pleasant Valley, NY requesting that the Court enter a formal Decree and Order and for such other relief as requested in the Petition.

He kept it and walked home! Upon return, he immediately went back to work in construction, operating heavy equipment, including plowing City roads during the winter but mostly favored the more demanding work with stone, brick, and concrete. After working for a few diff erent construction companies over a little more than a decade, he founded Frank Noel Masonry, which he owned and operated for over 40 years in the greater Malden area. During that time, Frank never worked with a contract. Every job was agreed upon and completed with a handshake. He was a former member of the First Lutheran Church of Malden. Frank spent his free time traveling around the Boston area, visiting his large family, and always helping others with their home improvement projects, except for a marquee trip to Alaska with his late wife June. After retirement, Frank spent a handful of winters in the Sun Belt, traveling when he could to see his siblings. An experienced chess player and billiards player, Frank also enjoyed cribbage, jigsaw puzzles, bingo, bowling, horseshoes, browsing the fl ea markets, and going to the horse tracks with his brother, “Law.” Not surprisingly, he was a devoted Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy watcher. He also developed a love of black-jack and craps, with regular trips to the casinos, including Las Vegas. Following his first-ever in-person Patriots game and tailgate, several seasons back, Frank became a skilled “bags” or cornhole player, always looking forward to outdoor gatherings where he could challenge others to a friendly game. He became an avid walker, walking three-four miles every day, including even the week before his passing, with his favorite spots being Lynn Shore Drive and Breakheart Reservation. Frank’s reliable red Ford pickup truck was always close. His long love of Fords even inspired his later love of NASCAR and Ford driver, Joey Logano, the “red” and yellow #22 car that LEWIS | FROM PAGE 15 maximum amount of rental assistance that a household can receive from $4,000 to $10,000 and allow eligible households facing a housing crisis to access both RAFT and HomeBASE. ● $53.4M for assistance for homeless individuals ● $27.2M for the HomeBASE diversion and rapid rehousing programs ● $12.5M for the Alternative Housing Voucher Program (AHVP), which provides rental assistance to people with disabilities, and $2.5M for grants to improve or create accessible aff ordable housing units ● $10.5M for housing vouchers for Department of Mental Health (DMH) clients to transition into housing and community-based services ● $4.75M for the Housing Consumer Education Centers (HCECs) he cheered on most Sunday afternoons.

But we could always revisit this at the December 7 meeting if necessary.” In initiating a third round, Ward Six’s Gray said he was willing to change his vote, citing his relative inexperience and knowledge of the three parties seeking the contract. “I’d rather we get out of this logjam. All my knowledge is just academic from reading the proposals and brochures,” he said. A 7-1 vote selecting Collins Center to head up the superintendent search followed, with Gray, Froio and McCarthy all changing their votes to back Collins Center, with Froio the lone vote against the choice. Mayor Christenson solicited opinions of the three groups from the School Committee before any of the votes were taken. Weldai said he supported Collins Center, citing some of their most recent work in the searches for new superintendents in Chelsea, Melrose and Salem. Weldai himself is employed as an administrator in the Chelsea Public Schools. “I liked the work they [Collins Center] did in the [superintendent] searches they performed in Chelsea, Melrose and Salem,” Weldai said. “I was impressed with the extent of family and community engagement they solicited and included in their searches.” Spadafora concurred with Weldai, “specifically due to their [Collins Center’s] work in urban schools. I have real confidence in the Collins Center and their pledge to know the district inside and out before they select their candidates.” Luong said she was in favor of “a fresh look” at the Malden Public Schools district, noting that MASC had conducted all of the most recent superintendent searches in Malden. “I was especially impressed that [the Collins Center] provided references and a list of where their searches are current,” Luong said.

I am very impressed with what they have to offer,” he said. “MASC is great and Collins Center is great.” Spadafora said she was in favor of a “fresh set of eyes” other than MASC, saying she would like to see longevity be a goal in hiring the next superintendent. “We need a longterm approach. A [superintendent] needs longer than two or three years to make significant change in our district.” In the end, Collins Center from UMass Boston won out and will be notified so it can get to work, the Mayor said. Mayor Christenson said that a search committee would consist of School Committee Members Weldai and Spadafora, as well as other stakeholders, which would include community members and parents of students. He encouraged those interested in being selected to serve on the committee to submit their names and interest by email at supersearch@maldenps.org. 1.

Page 18 avvya yavvy en oniorior avvy S ior io iori by Jim Miller How to Claim Social Security Benefits During the Pandemic Dear Savvy Senior, With my local Social Security offices being closed due to COVID-19, what is the best way to apply for my Social Security retirement benefi ts? Approaching 62 Dear Approaching, Because of the pandemic, all Social Security fi eld offi ces across the country have been closed since March, so you can’t just walkin, talk to a counselor and apply for benefi ts in person right now. But there are other ways to claim your benefi ts that are much easier and quicker. Here’s what you should know. How to Apply? The easiest and most convenient way to apply for your Social Security benefi ts during the pandemic is to do it yourself online at SocialSecurity.gov. It usually takes around 15 minutes to complete the application, as long as you’ve gathered all of the required information and documentation (more on that at the bottom of the column). You can also save your application as you go, so you can take a break at any time. If your situation is complicated or you’re uncomfortable using the Internet to apply, you can have a Social Security employee assist with the process via telephone. To make an appointment call 800-772-1213. (If you’re hearing impaired, you can call 800325-0778.) The phones are monitored Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. At the time of your appointment, the representative will call you. If you start to complete the online application form but fi nd that it’s too confusing or complicated, call the agency and set up a phone appointment. Once you have submitted your application, a representative may contact you with updates or questions about your application. You can also check the status of your application by signing in to your “my Social Security” account at SSA.gov/myaccount. When to Apply? You should fi le one or two months before you want benefi ts to begin, but if you’re the worrying type, you can do it up to three or four months before. It takes a little time to process the paperwork, so by putting in your application a few months early, you can fi x any problems that come up without it interfering with your starting date. It’s also worth noting that if you start receiving your Social Security retirement benefi ts before age 65, you will automatically be enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B, and you’ll receive your Medicare card about three months before your 65th birthday. It will include instructions to return it if you have work coverage that qualifi es you for late enrollment. But if you decide to delay your retirement benefi ts, you’ll need to sign up just for Medicare at age 65, which you can also do at SocialSecurity.gov or over the phone at 800-772-1213. Need Information In order to apply for Social Security benefi ts online or over the phone, you’ll need to be able to document some information about your identity and work history. So before applying, have the following information handy: • Your Social Security number. • Your birth certifi cate (original or certifi ed). • Proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful alien status if you were not born in the United States. • A copy of your U.S. military service papers if you had military service before 1968. • A copy of your W-2 forms and/or self-employment tax return for last year. • Your bank information (including your account number and the bank routing number) where you want your benefi ts direct deposited to. For a complete checklist of what you’ll need to complete your application, see SSA.gov/hlp/isba/10/isba-checklist.pdf. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
