According to police, no other cars were involved in the crash, which happened at approximately 12:25 p.m. near the Fulbright Street intersection. Dutra-Moraes was rushed to the hospital, where he later passed away from his injuries. Ari Dos Passos, a friend of Dutra-Moraes, set up a GoFundMe Page to help the family cover the funeral costs. To date, $3,417 has been raised. Although the incident remains under investigation, Dos go too low,” he said. “We suspect his hypoglycemia caused him to pass out while driving, leading him to crash into a tree.” Dos Passos said Dutra-Moraes had recently immigrated to the United States from Brazil and was working as a DoorDash delivery driver. Dos Passos said his friend would frequently go to work at 5 a.m. and would not return home until 18 hours later. “Airton was a hardworking man,” he said.

The new strain has also spread to several other countries, including Botswana, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom. Dr. Lou Ann Bruno-Murtha, division chief of infectious diseases at Cambridge Health Alliance, said it is only a matter of time before Omicron works its way into Massachusetts. The arrival of Omicron in the Bay State will only compound the current problems created by the already-prevalent Delta variant. “Delta is still the variant contributing to the recent increase in infections and hospitalizations in the region,” said Bruno-Murtha. “The science and implications of the Omicron variant are actively being examined, and we will know more very soon. At this time, the best response is to promote COVID vaccination for those not fully vaccinated and encourage everyone who is eligible to seek a booster dose as soon as possible.” Dr. Kimiyoshi Kobayashi, chief quality officer at UMass Memorial Medical Center, said Massachusetts may not necessarily be a target. “It is still unclear whether this will happen,” he said. “It will depend on how it competes with the Delta variant. We will have to watch what the balance between Delta and Omicron will be.” Dr. George Abraham, chief of medicine at Saint Vincent Hospital, said he was not surprised by the detection of Omicron and the previous strains. “We have predicted and long suspected that we would see variants,” he said. “The variants pop up in parts of the world where there have been the lowest levels of vaccination.” Abraham also said Omicron may not be that troublesome in the long-term. “Based on preliminary data from our South African colleagues, the number of cases has risen dramatically, about 700-fold, but the number of hospitalizations, serious illnesses and deaths have not increased significantly,” he said. “This suggests that there might be overall mild disease associated with this variant as opposed to severe disease.” In addition, Abraham said he trusts the efficacy of the vaccines. “We know the vaccines work reasonably well, generating what’s called virus-specific antibodies. But they also generate what’s called a polyclonal response,” he said. “That means it may also work against some viruses in the same family. Right now we need to determine how well our vaccines work against this variant.” Dr. Shira Doron, an Infectious Disease physician and epidemiologist at Tufts Medical Center, said Delta continues to attract a great deal of attention. “Delta is a major threat in Massachusetts and for the time being, a far greater one. We do not yet know if Omicron is more deadly, more transmissible or more easily evades immunity than Delta,” she said. “If it does any of those things and if it manages to outcompete Delta and become predominant, then it could mean a worse winter than what we are already facing. What everyone should do now is get vaccinated if they have not received the vaccine. If eligible for a booster, now is the time to get one.” Dr. Daniel Kuritzkes, chief of the Infectious Diseases Division at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, shared a different opinion, saying it is likely that Omicron is already in Massachusetts. “I’m sure it’s here,” he said. Kuritzkes said he was very surprised to learn that the new variant had been detected in Australia, which has extremely tight COVID-19 restrictions. “It’s highly mutated,” he said of Omicron. “This is why people need to get vaccinated.”

The legislation creates a more rigorous review to ensure that when large hospital systems expand, they are not infringing on community hospital markets and raising health care costs for patients. H.4253 also requires the ongoing upkeep of a health resource inventory, which will give regulators a better understanding of the Commonwealth’s existing health care resources to inform these review processes and future reform eff orts.

Mariano (D-Quincy). “Community hospitals off er high-quality care to the most vulnerable patient populations at aff ordable rates. Our efforts to control health care cost growth depends on their continued existence.” “Last week, I was proud to support legislation that will protect community hospitals in the state of Massachusetts. This law will ensure rigorous review processes to make sure that when large healthcare systems are looking to expand that they are not infringing upon community hospital markets,” said Representative Paul Donato of Medford. “This is especially important in the 35th Middlesex District as we make sure that our community hospitals Like Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Winchester Hospital, and Melrose-Wakefi eld Hospital are not hurt by private healthensuring continued competition in the health care market. “An Act enhancing the market review process”: • Expands and strengthens the material change notice (MCN) process of the Health Policy Commission (HPC) to include a broader range of transactions and give cost and market impact reviews (CMIRs) more weight in the Determination of Need (DoN) and Attorney General (AGO) proceedings • Requires the Department of Paul Donato State Representative care expansion. As always, I will continue to fi ght to make sure healthcare remains accessible and aff ordable to all our citizens.” H.4253 continues the House’s commitment to health care as demonstrated in Massachusetts’ health care reform law of 2006 and in the landmark cost containment law of 2012. Community hospitals operate on thin margins and with the constant possibility of closure. H.4253 limits unchecked growth of hospital chains, better suiting community hospitals to survive and Public Health (DPH) to consider additional sources of information, including CMIRs and Center for Health Information & Analysis (CHIA) data, as part of the DoN process • Re-establishes a health planning council that will assist DPH in maintaining an inventory of health care resources to inform the MCN process and better assess the appropriateness of DoN applications • Protects independent community hospitals’ markets and gives hospitals another tool to halt DoN proceedings should a proposed project encroach on their primary service area Melrose Arts & Crafts Society donates to Shaw’s Giving Tree On November 22, the Melrose Arts & Crafts Society decided to donate to the Melrose Shaw’s Giving Tree.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 3, 2021 Page 5 Malden City Council approves new 2022 property tax rate Average Malden homeowner will see a $307 increase this year; Council continues residential tax exemption By Steve Freker T he Malden City Council unanimously approved a new property tax rate for residential and commercial property owners at Tuesday night’s meeting. Following a presentation by Nate Cramer, Chairman of the Malden Board of Assessors, and a public hearing on their proposal, the City Council voted, 110, to adopt the tax factor advised by the Board. That figure for 2022 will be $12.35 per $1,000 of assessed value for residential property owners and $19.17 per $1,000 of assessed value for commercial property owners. Last year’s 2021 property tax rates were $12.29/$1,000 for residential property owners and $19.14/$1,000 for commercial owners. According to Cramer, the increase will mean an increase of approximately $307 for the average Malden single-family homeowner and about $1,100 for commercial property owners. The City Council also approved another year of a 30 percent owner-occupied resiin Malden is now assessed at $503,000, the first time in municipal history that this assessment has surpassed $500,000. In 2021, the single-family home assessment was $486,000. This represents an increase of nine percent in one year. There was brief discussion on the merits and detractions of going up or down with the residential tax exemption. Cramer said there are only 16 communities in Massachusetts which ofNate Cramer Chairman Board of Assessors dential tax exemption (reduction). That exemption computes a reduction of about $2,000 per owner-occupied residence. The residential exemption is offered only to those residences with a value below $977,000. In Malden, that means there are seven single-family homes, 23 two-families, 23 three-families and a number of apartment buildings that do not qualify. Cramer also reported that the average single-family home Sen. Lewis joins Senate vote for Nero’s Law to protect police dogs S tate Senator Jason Lewis recently joined a unanimous vote in the Massachusetts State Senate for An Act allowing humane transportation of K9 partners, which is also known as Nero’s Law and ensures that law enforcement officers’ K-9 partners can receive life-saving medical attention and transport if injured in the line of duty. The bill comes in response to the tragic events in 2018 that took the life of Yarmouth Police K-9 Sergeant Sean Gannon and severely injured his K-9 partner, Nero. “Police dogs often assist our law enforcement officers in dangerous and sometimes deadly situations to protect public safety,” said Lewis. “I’m very pleased that the Senate has passed Nero’s Law in honor of the memory of Sgt. Sean Gannon.” In April 2018, Gannon was shot and killed while serving a warrant in Barnstable. Despite the multiple empty ambulances on site, Nero had to be rushed to the animal hospital in the back of a police cruiser. Current Massachusetts law prohibits emergency medical personnel from treating and transporting animals. Fortunately, Nero survived his injuries, but the inability to transport him showed that reform is needed to better care for police working dogs that risk their lives every day to serve the Commonwealth. Nero’s Law authorizes emergency medical service personnel to provide emergency treatment and transport of K-9 partners. This includes basic first aid, CPR and administering life-saving interventions, such as naloxone. On November 15, the Massachusetts House of Representatives referred Nero’s Law to its committee on Ways and Means. fer this exemption to residents. In the greater Boston area, Malden is at 30 percent, Everett at 25 percent, Medford at 30 percent, Chelsea at 35 percent and Somerville at 35 percent. Cramer explained that if Malden goes to a higher percentage, it would have immediate adverse effects, as in heavy tax increases for commercial and non-exemption residential property owners. Councillor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria noted that Cramer and the Board of Assessors had done a great deal of work in the past two years identifying, and eliminating, inappropriate claimants of the residential exemption. Residential tax revenues have increased. That is because the number of claimants has been reduced from 8,359 to 8,291. “They have done a tremendous job; it’s great to see only those truly eligible are receiving this exemption,” Councillor DeMaria said. ~ Under New Ownership! ~ Robert’s Restaurant 251 Broadway, Rte. 99, Malden * (781) 397-0628 Hours: 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM Family-owned & Operated The BEST Breakfast & Lunch for 32 Years!

Time to revisit my top 200 basketball players in the history of my life while living and playing basketball in the best hoop city in the Commonwealth: Malden! This is by no means a definitive list. I’ve got great memory recall, but Father Time has diminished my ability to think on my feet as quickly as I did in the past. If I have excluded you or made a glaring error, please let me know and we’ll rectify that after I have carefully examined all the facts. These are ballplayers that I have played with, and against, in my lifetime. They all have lived in Malden at one point in their lives or were born and raised here. The list is in no particular order. Joe wasn’t the best I ever played with/against (close though), and number 200 (Joe Frauton) was not the worst. Again, if I did not play against or with you in those glorious hoop days of yesteryear, that is why you aren’t mentioned here.

It is said in Malden today, tomorrow and yesterday... It was 82 years ago this past spring that the children of Edgeworth got their elementary school back. The Emerson School reopened its doors in the spring of 1939 (after a complete renovation), and the children, mostly of Italian immigrants, that fl ooded Ward 2 at the turn of the century didn’t have to walk up to the Leonard School on Pleasant Street any longer. Dommy Settemio entered the second grade; Johnny Barry and Johnny Marsinelli were entering the third grade; Joe “Tiger” Settemio went into the fourth grade; Peter Trabucco, Samuel “Sammy” Saldutti and Larry Scibelli into the fi fth grade; and Pasqual “Patsy” Chiacchia into the 6th grade. Prominent Edgeworth names learning their ABCs at the Emerson in ’39 were Puopolo (not Donald because he would have been way too young!), Bucci, Angelo, DiPaolo, Mehos, Pisaturo, Sica, Notarangeli, Brandano, Fantozzi, Pagliccia, Cuoco, Martino, Gennetti, Parker, DiSerio and Russo. Very hard to believe, but we’re fast approaching the 13th anniversary of the passing of “Old Blue Eyes” – Frank Sinatra. For your reading pleasure my favorite Frank quote: “Rock ’n’ roll smells phony and false. It is sung, played, and written, for the most part, by cretinous goons. And, by means of its almost imbecilic reiteration, and sly, lewd and in plain fact, dirty lyrics ... it manages to be the marching music of every side-burned delinquent on the face of the earth.” Sitting in the Forestdale Cemetery on a quiet Sunday morning with Honey Dew Donuts coff ee and Boston Globe is like sitting in a wildlife preserve in your very own backyard! Spotted two hawks dive-bombing right above my car, ducks (not those disgusting Canada geese – real ducks), a heron that resembled a prehistoric dinosaur upon takeoff and a fl ock of nasty looking turkeys parading by my car. Who knew! On a Forestdale Cemetery side note, I am always amazed at how well kept the cemetery grounds looks. Can’t be easy keeping 60 or so acres looking so good with such a small crew. Amazing job by some amazing Malden employees who care. “Long ago, and not so far away...” A couple of years before his major league baseball career would end tragically, Roy CamMALDEN: TODAY| SEE PAGE 17
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 3, 2021 Page 7 Malden Public Schools launches English Learners Parent Advisory Council EL Director outlines details of MPS program, pledges multilevel support of all students, families By Steve Freker A telling modicum of success already in place for the Malden Public Schools (MPS) came about midway through Tuesday night’s inaugural meeting of the new English Learners Parent Action Council (ELPAC). This was when Salemwood K-8 student Grace Burgos Patino came onto the virtual meeting and asked some pertinent questions regarding possible English learning classes her mother could take in the near future. These cogent inquiries were made – and answered by MPS fi rst-year English Learners Director Jennifer McCabe. This was an example of the success already happening in the Malden Public Schools English Learners program in the district and a hoped-for harbinger for the future, when it comes to goals for the over 1,100 EL program students in the district. English Learners are students whose fi rst language is not English and who have limited to no profi ciency in speaking or reading the English language. For nearly all of these students, a language other than English is spoken at home. Malden Public Schools is recognized as the #1 most diverse school district in Massachusetts, and according to the latest Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) fi gures, MPS is educating 1,118 English Learner students (18.3%). Across the district, over half of the MPS student population, just under 3,500 (57.2%), live in households where English is not the fi rst language. Malden fi rst-year Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy and her central administrative staff have made it a top priority to enhance and expand the support system for all English Learner students and their families. Establishing the ELPAC is a key facet of the overall strategy toward this goal, EL Director McCabe explained at Tuesday night’s well-attended virtual meeting. McCabe noted the online participation of many MPS principals, other administrators and educators, in addition to parents, caregivers and students. “When I see so many of our principals, staff and central administration in attendance at this fi rst [ELPAC] meeting, [it] is a great example of what we are about in this district,” McCabe students attending the Malden Public Schools,” Brockwell said. “Malden Public Schools administrators and teachers really care about supporting students in achieving their highest potential.” McCabe announced that Imagine Language was donating account memberships to parents and caregivers of MPS students as part of its goal to enhance the opportunities for families to learn English together. Also introduced were opportunities for adult family members to participate in English language learning classes at The COUNCIL | SEE PAGE 7 OUR DOORS ARE OPEN said, in addressing the English Learners families and students. “We’re here for you in Malden. We are honored to be partners in your children’s learning experience.” McCabe said the key goal associated with the formation and Tuesday’s launch of ELPAC was “to connect home to school.” “We want to connect families to the source to their children’s education and encourage them to provide input into how their children learn and how we can do better in the Malden Public Schools,” McCabe said. Supt. Noriega-Murphy and Assistant Supt. of Diversity, Equity and Engagement Laryssa Doherty have specifically stressed that for the six months that they have been guiding the district that improved outreach and engagement with all MPS families, including EL families, was an integral element of overall improvement planning. At Tuesday’s meeting McCabe discussed the foundational English Learner instructional model in place at MPS and Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) and noted that many specially trained teachers with dual capability of EL and traditional instructional certifi cation are in place in these classrooms. A representative of a widely used educational program in the EL curriculum, Anne-Marie Brockwell of Imagine Language and Literacy, gave a brief presentation of that platform, which incorporates a variety of media, including games and fun literacy drills in both English and the participant’s fi rst language. The platform is translated in 15 languages. “Parents and caregivers are very lucky to have their You chose the charity. WE DONATED.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 3, 2021 ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Post 69 remembers Pearl Harbor D ecember 7th marks the 80th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The attach killed 2,403 U.S. personnel, including 68 civilians, and destroyed or damaged 19 U.S. Navy ships, including 8 battleships. The three aircraft carriers of the U.S. Pacific Fleet were out to sea on maneuvers. This catastrophe let to the American entry into World War II. This attack changed America forever. In his speech to Congress requesting a declaration of war President Roosevelt called it a day that will live in infamy. The war dragged on until two events turned the tide for the Americans, the first was the Marines successful invasion of Guadacanal that ended in the defeat of the Japanese. The second was the naval battle of Midway Islands that took a heavy toll of American and Japanese battleships and airplanes, but in the end the Americans won. By the end of the Pacific war the U.S. had lost 364,748 killed and wounded and has 21,580 missing. We also note the 76th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge that took place in Bastogne, Belgium from December 16, 1944 to January 1945. It was the most significant battle of the war after Normandy. The American and British Armies were outnumbered and low on supplies. The Armies also had to contend with snow and frigid temperatures. At one point the Germans sent a letter to General Anthony McCauliffe demanding that the Allies surrender, he replied to the order with the word “Nuts”. The battle continued until General Patton’s 3rd Army came to the rescue. With the end of this battle World War II came to an end in April. The casualties included 90,000 Allies and 100,000 Germans. What happened at Pearl Harbor and Bastogne should give us pause and reflect on the courage of those Navy, Marines, Army and Airmen that defeated our enemies, and kept our freedoms alive. Post 69 had many members from World War II. Our Post will always salute their heroism and will always remember their sacrifice to save our great country. George Sahady, for the members of the Post Malden Arts Founding President Naomi Brave retiring with stellar accomplishments Special to The Advocate W ith hearts full of appreciation, admiration and sadness, too, Malden Arts announces that founding president, Naomi Brave, is passing on the mantle of leadership. Naomi and Kelvy Bird founded Malden Arts in 2005, and beginning in 2006, Naomi Brave has led the organization through an amazing series of accomplishments: Window Arts Malden, the Switchbox Project, the Salon Series, initiating Little Free Libraries, Malden Pop-ups and the birth of the Malden Arts ARTLine bringing public art to Malden streets and the Northern Strand Community Trail. Always with a small band of volunteers and the citizenry and elected officials behind her, Naomi has led the way. She leaves Malden Arts in a good place with more murals and a pocket park in the planning stages, and she will continue as a volunteer in the organization. The board of Malden Arts happily announces that the vote was unanimous for naming Ari Taylor as the new president of Malden Arts. Ari Taylor’s energy and enthusiasm for the arts, for Malden and for all its citizens is a perfect match to her new role. Mayor Gary Christenson is shown cutting the ribbon with Malden Arts President Naomi Brave and former Maldonian rock music legend Norman Greenbaum during the Malden Arts mural presentation a few years back.

Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 3, 2021 Zonta Club vigil raises awareness about domestic violence M ayor Gary Christenson joined Malden Zonta Club President Michelle Luong and club members for a candlelight vigil on City Hall Plaza to remember and reflect on those lives lost to domestic violence. Other attendees included State Representative Steve Ultrino, Malden School Committee Member Adam Weldai, Malden Police Chief Kevin Molis, Detective Elijah McNeal of the Domestic Violence Division of Malden Police, Girl Scouts City Coordinator Denise Keating and Malden Warming Center Chair Melanie Flynn. This event was part of Zonta’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, which is an annual international campaign that kicked off on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and will run until December 10, Human Rights Day. This year’s global theme is “Orange the world: End violence against women now!” Thanks to Zonta member Sharyn Zeiberg, the Malden club also participated in a lighting of the Zakim Bridge “in orange” on the night of November 26. The hope is that these events will bring attention to the issue of domestic violence and its gravity while giving a voice to both victims and survivors. The vigil concluded powerfully with a reading by Zonta member Ari Taylor of the names of those individuals who have been killed because of a domestic violence situation during the past year.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports local representatives’ roll call attendance records for the 2021 session. No more roll calls are planned in the House until January 2022. The House held 121 roll calls in 2021. Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates the number of roll calls on which each representative was present and voting, and then calculates that number as a percentage of the total roll call votes held. That percentage is the number referred to as the roll call attendance record. The vast majority of the 159 representatives are not in the House chamber during a session because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sources tell Beacon Hill Roll Call that they have seen as few as 12 members in the chamber and as many as 40. The remainder are watching the session from their home or business and voting remotely. Here’s how the remote voting system works: Eight appointed monitors are required to be present in the House chamber and are each given the task of recording the votes of approximately 20 members who are watching the session remotely from their homes or business offices. Each monitor has their 20 members on a conference call and fills out a form indicating how each member voted. The sheets are given to the court officers who then give them to the House Clerk who verifies that the correct totals have been recorded on the sheet and that the sheet is signed by the monitor. The assistant clerk records the yeas and nays in the roll call computer, which activates the green (voted YES) or red (voted NO) lights on the electronic roll call board. Members participating remotely then have the opportunity to see on the broadcast how they are recorded so that they can verify that their vote is recorded accurately. The tally is then displayed on the roll call board and the presiding officer announces the totals and the result of the vote. If a member wants to speak on an issue under consideration, they leave the conference call temporarily. Using a different telephone, they call into a line that patches them into the debate. Their voice is then heard in the House chamber and by those watching the broadcast online. In the House, 86.7 percent (138 representatives out of 159) did not miss any roll calls and have 100 percent roll call attendance records while 13.3 percent (21 representatives out of 159) have missed one or more roll calls. The representative who missed the most roll calls is Rep. Meghan Kilcoyne (D-Northborough) who missed 15, resulting in an 87.6 percent attendance record. Rounding out the top six representatives who have missed the most roll calls are Reps. Patrick Kearney (D-Scituate) who missed eight roll calls (93.3 percent attendance record); David LeBoeuf (D-Worcester) who missed six roll calls (95.0 percent attendance record); Chynah Tyler (D-Roxbury) who missed four roll calls (96.6 percent roll call attendance record); and Reps. Ann-Margaret Ferrante (D-Gloucester) and Tami Gouveia (D-Acton) who both missed three roll calls (97.5 percent roll call attendance record) Beacon Hill Roll Call contacted these six legislators and asked each one for a comment on his or her attendance record. Only four responded: Reps. Kilcoyne, Kearney, Ferrante and Gouveia. Reps. Tyler and LeBoeuf did not respond to repeated requests for a comment. “I was forced to miss one full formal session because I sat for the Massachusetts Bar Exam at the end of July,” said Kilcoyne. “My absence is recorded in the House Journal along with the explanation for the missed votes on that one day. The journal also reflects how I would have voted had I been present on that day. Other than the one day I was forced to miss, I have a perfect voting record.” “As a lieutenant in the United States Navy Reserve, I report for active duty at least for two weeks a year, sometimes longer depending on the nation's needs,” said Kearney. “I have been undergoing treatment at Dana Farber,” said Ferrante. “I take my role as a state representative very seriously, so when I experienced technical difficulties in dialing in during one of our formal sessions, I quickly alerted the clerk,” said Gouveia. “While my roll call vote for quorum was unable to be recorded, I did record two votes in favor of the two bills before the House that day.” REPRESENTATIVES’ 2021 ROLL CALL ATTENDANCE RECORDS The percentage listed next to the representative’s name is the percentage of roll call votes on which the representative voted. The number in parentheses represents the number of roll calls that he or she missed. Rep. Paul Donato100 percent (0) Rep. Steven Ultrino 100 percent (0) 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 filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night 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 November 22-26, the House met for a total of 26 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 57 minutes. Mon. Nov. 22 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:05 a.m. Senate 11:15 a.m. to 11:41 a.m. Tues. Nov. 23 No House session No Senate session Wed.

Malden took that tone and ran with it, using some remarkable individual performances, most notably by McGuffie, senior placekicker Ronald Juarez and senior defensive end Lyden Lewis. Malden came into the game Golden Tornados defensive back Makhial Coulanges-Blaise wraps up a Mustang player. Golden Tornados running back Makhial Coulanges-Blaise ran past some Medford defenders during Thursday’s action. as an underdog, but that forecast probably changed in a lot of minds quickly when McGuffie broke through a trio of Mustangs at about the Malden 35 on the right sideline and then saw all green for an 85-yard kickoff return touchdown on the game’s very first play. Juarez booted PAT for a 7-0 lead before a lot of the late-arriving crowd filing in even got a chance to take their seats. That would be all the scoring from Malden for a long time in this game, as Medford’s defense zeroed in on the Golden Tornados’ offensive game and locked it up for most of the day. Medford held Malden to one first down and less than 40 yards total offense in the first quarter and no offensive points. The Golden Tornados football historians are researching to find out if this year’s game was the first one Malden High won in the 134-game history of the series where the Golden Tornados did not score an offensive touchdown. Malden led 7-0 after the first DOUBLE TROUBLE: Malden defensive back Lyden Lewis (#4) and Makhial Coulanges-Blaise (#20) double up on a Mustang running back. quarter as both defenses held the fort for their respective teams. Medford cut into Malden’s lead early in the second quarter when penalties and two tackles for losses by Mustang defenders backed the Golden Tornados all the way back to their own end zone. Malden freshman QB starter Aidan Brett was looking for an open man when he threw a pass to no one on the left sideline. The referees tossed a penalty flag for intentional grounding on the play, and Medford was on the board with a two-point safety and a 7-2 Malden lead with 9:21 to go in the first half. Penalties ended up playing a Golden Tornados quarterback Jordan Rodriguez looks for a receiver as running back Makhial Coulanges-Blaise fakes the handoff. major role in this game, particularly hurting Medford’s chances, as the Mustangs were flagged a whopping 13 times for about 150 yards in penalties, including a brutal four 15-yard personal foul/unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on the day. Malden also got six penalties in the first half, but cleaned it up with only one penalty flag in the second half. Malden’s absent offense continued in the second quarter with no first downs, but the Golden Tornados defense was front and center, continuing to stalemate with Medford’s attack. The Mustangs finally broke through and got on the board BOXSCORE Medford 0 10 again with a drive that started on its own 45 with less than two minutes to go. This time it was a costly Malden penalty which kept the Medford drive alive when a Golden Tornados defender hit the QB Terranova when he was sliding after going down. The Mustangs then were handed a first-and-goal from the Malden 7 and under a minute to play. With only 9 seconds to play on the next to the last play of the first half, Medford scored a dagger touchdown when quarterback Terranova kept the ball for an 8-yard touchdown run.

Malden shed no tears at halftime, put on the hardhat and went right to work in the second half, as Davian McGuffie came up huge for the second time in the game, recovering an onside kick by Juarez with the whole team running out of the “muddle huddle” formation. Nine plays later, the game was tied when Juarez (on his second try after an inopportune penalty by Medford) nailed a 23-yard field goal to tie the game at 10-10. Juarez, who hit a 27-yarder in Malden’s 29-0 win in 2019, is believed to be the only player in Malden High history to kick field goals in two Malden Thanksgiving wins. Malden’s defense was huge in the second half, giving Medford next to nothing and holding the Mustangs to just two first downs and a paltry 36 yards total offense in the entire second half. Malden came up with two interceptions of Terranova passes, one in the second quarter and one in the third, which stopped Medford drives. On Medford’s last drive of the second half, Lewis tackled Terranova in the end zone for a two-point safety and a 12-10 lead after three quarters, the eventual final score. There was not scoring by either team in the fourth quarter as the two defenses ruled. When Lewis made his second huge defensive play of the game, a blocked Medford punt and a recovery at the Mustang 45 with 5:35 left to play, the Golden Tornados looked to play ball control and eat the clock. Up stepped Makhial CoulangGolden Tornados linebacker James Hyppolite pounced on a Medford running back on Thanksgiving Day.

He had fumbled a ball away in the first half, but this time around he produced. Coulanges-Blaise carried the ball 8 out of 10 plays on handoffs from senior quarterback Jordan Rodriguez, who had replaced Brett late in the second quarter. Rodriguez also played a key role in the final, clock-eating drive, with three carries himself, including a huge threeyard gain on a keeper on the left which gave Malden a veritable game-clinching first down. Malden ran out the rest of the clock and then celebrated with the championship trophy, racing around the field en masse with fans roaring from the stands. Malden Police matter results in lockdown of school and other buildings on Salem Street Officials: Students and staff were safe throughout the lockdown A A Malden Police Officer and some upset Medford fans got a great view of Golden Tornados safety Omar Ayouch intercepting a Medford pass on Thanksgiving Day. Keeping the peace at the Malden-Medford Turkey Day game with Mayor Gary Christenson were Police Chief Kevin Molis and Capt. Glenn Cronin. Malden Police matter unrelated to any school or business in the area caused a lockdown along Salem Street late Thursday morning. This was an added layer of precaution for safety purposes, according to police, who did not release details of the police matter as of press time. Malden High School (MHS), the Malden Public Library and residents of the immediate area were requested to be in lockdown mode at 11:50 a.m. The lockdown lasted until about 12:40 p.m. MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo made it clear to all students and staff in the school a number of times that there was no incident related to the school and that all inside the school were safe during the lockdown. Malden Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy sent out a recorded message to all MHS families shortly after the lockdown began, reiterating the details Principal Mastrangelo had made in his message. She also sent out a message when the lockdown was lifted that the regular school day was resuming. Since the lockdown took place in the middle of the MHS lunch period, the lunch block was extended so all students were able to eat as scheduled, school officials said.

I Malden Catholic students walk on behalf of the Leonard Florence Center for Living and raise $13K MAKING YOUR ESTATE THE BENEFICIARY OF YOUR IRA I n most situations you would name your spouse as your primary beneficiary of your IRA or 401(k) account. If you were to die, your spouse would be able to establish his or her own spousal IRA account and would be able to defer withdrawals until age 72, at which time your spouse would then be required to take out required minimum distributions (RMD’s) over his or her life expectancy. One reason why you might wish to make your estate the primary beneficiary would be to actually protect the remaining IRA or 401(k) monies in the event your surviving spouse were to go into a nursing home. If the estate were to be named the beneficiary of your IRA or 401(k) account, you would include a testamentary trust provision in your Last Will and Testament which would take effect once your Will is allowed. The testamentary trust would provide for discretionary distributions of income and principal in order to benefit your surviving spouse. One of the downsides to this, of course, is the cost and time associated with the probate process. Another downside to this is the remaining monies in the IRA or 401(k) account would have to be distributed over a five-year period with the passage of the SECURE act. Income taxes will have to be paid each year which will have a negative impact on the ability of the account to grow over time. The upside of this strategy is that MassHealth does not treat testamentary trusts the same as irrevocable trusts and the transfer penalty provisions do not apply to these trusts as well. There is no fiveyear look back period to be concerned with. With irrevocable trusts, there can only be income distributed to the Settlor, not principal. With a testamentary trust, principal distributions are allowed to be distributed to the surviving spouse without any negative impact on MassHealth eligibility. If the testamentary trust is structured with a remainder share and a marital share, this strategy may also provide for Massachusetts estate tax savings so that when you die, you will have taken advantage of your $1million Massachusetts estate tax exemption by making sure the remainder share in your testamentary trust is funded with enough of the IRA or 401(k) account monies to bring the total of all assets being distributed to your children to at least equal the $1million. If your spouse is aging and you are concerned about a future nursing home admission, and are also concerned about providing for all of your spouse’s health care needs, daily living expenses, housing needs, etc., then this is one strategy to at least consider.

I felt devastated and overwhelmed but having the MC Lancers come out today, providing a circle of love and care for those in the community who are suffering, meant a tremendous amount to me and my family,” said Paquette.

Every single dollar raised from this Walk goes directly back to patient care and programs for the ALS and MS residents. The Center cares for more individuals living with ALS than any place else in the world. “Malden Catholic has partnered with the Leonard Florence Center for the past eight years and we are delighted to join together as a community to provide an improved quality of life for those who suffer from ALS and MS,” said MC Headmaster John Thornburg.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 3, 2021 Page 17 MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6 panella appeared at Patkin Cadillac on Eastern Avenue to sign autographs and shake hands with the locals. Patkin’s was located a stone’s throw from the long gone Harry’s Showboat and almost across the street from the old Faulkner Mfg. Company. One exceptionally small hand that “Campy” shook that day in 1955 was of then 10-year-old Harvey “Nat the Cat” Nadler. Young Harvey also had an issue of Sport magazine signed by the Hall of Famer but for the life of him cannot remember where he placed it. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – the election results on November 2, in my humble opinion, were a clarion call, so to speak. As the so called “voice of his generation” Bob Dylan once sang, “the times they are a changin’.” Indeed, they are. Malden 2021 does not resemble Malden 1961 – however, you’d like to quantify that – or even Malden 1981. Time brings change: the good, the bad and the ugly. We in Malden are fortunate. Seems we’ve always been open to change, for the good mostly; the ugly, once in a while. Again, however, you’d like to quantify that. Whether it be an ever-changing downtown area or politicians that, for the most part, “get it,” or a school system that strives to be the best they can possibly be for every child in the city – Malden always rolls with the punches. There’s room for everybody within these five square miles. That’s the way it’s always been. Let’s hope the recent call for unity in government by Councillor Spadafora is heeded. Meet the new boss, not the same as the old boss. Old Malden, meet New Malden. Let’s all play nice and continue our upward trajectory. Postscript 1: I am very happy that old friend Rob DiMarco did so well at his first run for public office. Good guy whose campaign was well run, and with class. That’s what I’m talking about! Rob, Malden needs more citizens like yourself to step up and bring us forward. Congratulations on a job well done and please consider another run in the future. Postscript 2: Chris Simonelli, I call him the “Comeback Kid.” Chris ran a very visible (and loud at times) campaign, putting heart and soul into every single moment. Those in Ward 7 who remember Chris know what to expect from the original energizer bunny. Those newbies to Ward 7 will be gobsmacked at his energy, “can do” attitude and novel approach to any situation placed in front of him. Chris’ story is one we should all be proud of. Chris would be the first to admit that his life, at times, was a struggle. The power of redemption is sweet. The double play combo of two wonderful children and hard work has put Chris back in the saddle, so to speak, ready to help Malden and Ward 7 be a better place to call home. Postscript 3: Craig Spadafora, once again, was the top vote getter. He deserves each and every one of those votes. He deserves to be reelected, each and every time he runs. There is nobody that works harder or has a firmer grip on the issues than Craig. More importantly there is nobody who runs for office that loves Malden more than this man, IMHO. If you decide to focus on the “R” next to his name, frankly, you don’t get the big picture. Focus on that meaningless letter and the city of Malden suffers. For more than 100 years, the Spadafora family has made Malden a better place to live. They are war heroes that have paid the ultimate price. They have been elected officials doing a full-time job at part-time wages. They are business ownAG’s Office offers guidance on donating to charities ahead of holiday season In anticipation of the upcoming holiday season and as people across the state continue to struggle amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Attorney General Maura Healey is advising residents to make informed decisions when donating to charities. Her Office released a new bulletin showing that only 43 percent of the funds that conventional professional solicitors raised on behalf of charities were transferred to charitable organizations in 2020. More than half of charitable contributions collected were retained by the professional solicitors. “Thousands of charities in Massachusetts rely on donations to help provide critical services and resources to individuals and communities, especially as we continue to face challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Healey. “If you are in a position to give, be sure to do your research and make informed decisions in order to maximize the impact of your donation.” While some charities raise funds on their own, others pay professional solicitors to solicit donations from the public, and solicitors are required by statute to register with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office. Conventional professional solicitors fundraise through phone, mail and door-to-door campaigns. The 2020 Professional Solicitor Bulletin outlines the financial results that solicitors and charities report from campaigns conducted in Massachusetts in 2020, a year where many charities faced fundraising challenges due to the pandemic, with new restrictions around in-person events, along with cancelations and solicitations that were limited. In 2020, 44 conventional professional solicitors collected $93 million through campaigns conducted in Massachusetts. While the amount kept by professional solicitors varied widely among solicitors, only approximately $40 million ended up with the actual charities. The 2020 report is consistent with campaign reports from the last five years, in which conventional professional solicitors transferred less than 50 percent of funds they raised to charities. However, the total revenue that all professional solicitors reported as having raised in 2020 campaigns conducted in Massachusetts increased from approximately $950 million in 2019 to $1.2 billion in 2020. This increase is largely due to three professional solicitors that employed DONATING | SEE PAGE 18 ers who bring joy, happiness and compassion into our lives.

These three professional solicitors reported raising $1.12 billion for charities in 2020 and transferred nearly 99 percent of those funds to the charities. The AG’s Office encourages potential donors to ask questions when they are contacted by a professional solicitor: • Is the solicitor calling your home a volunteer or a professional fundraiser? • How much of every dollar donated will go to the charity? • Confi rm the charity’s name and the services it off ers. Professional solicitors are required by law to disclose certain information when asked and may not mislead prospective donors or misrepresent facts. While the Attorney General’s Offi ce has a variety of tools to address deceptive practices in charitable solicitation, the most eff ective means of preventing fraud is an educated donating public. The Attorney General’s Offi ce maintains annual financial reports from charities and professional solicitors that operate in the Commonwealth, which are available for public inspection online.

View all our listings at: CarpenitoRealEstate.com a y avvy S iorenniiooro a avvyavvy iori n r by Jim Miller Senior Alert: Your old cell phone may not work in 2022 Dear Savvy Senior, My 80-year-old father has an old fl ip phone he carries around with him for emergency purposes, but I’ve heard that these devices will soon be phased out. Is this true? If so, how can we know if his phone will be aff ected, and where can I fi nd him a simple new one that he can operate. Searching Daughter Dear Searching, Yes, it’s true! If your dad’s mobile phone is more than a few years old, he will probably need to upgrade it in the very near future. Why? Because all of the major cell phone carriers – AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile – are shutting down their older 3G networks in 2022 to free up airwaves for 5G and other advanced services. So, if your dad is using an old 3G phone, like millions of other older Americans, he’ll need to get a new device if he wants to make calls, text or reach 911. But you should also know that it’s not just older cellphones that will be obsolete. Older home security systems, medical devices and personal emergency response systems that still harness 3G will also be aff ected. Adding to the confusion, older 4G phones that don’t support modern cellular voice technologies, such as Voice Over LTE or HD Voice, are impacted, too. Those customers may need a software upgrade or a new phone. Here are the timelines for the 3G shutdowns: AT&T - Feb. 2022; T-Mobile - July 1, 2022; Verizon - Dec. 31, 2022; Sprint (which is owned by T-Mobile) - March 31, 2022; and Sprint LTE - June 30, 2022. Other smaller carriers like Tracfone, Cricket, Boost and Straight Talk, will also be aff ected, because they rely on airwaves from the big three. Is Your Phone Aff ected? Cell phone carriers say they have been alerting customers who use older phones that services are ending, sending a combination of texts, letters, phone calls and emails. If you’re not sure about your dad’s phone, contact his carrier or check their website for a list of aff ected devices. Another way to see if your dad’s phone is 3G is to look up his international mobile equipment identity number which can be found by pressing *#06# on his keypad. Once you have it, go to www.imei.info and type it in the search bar to get the phone’s details. If his phone has a frequency of 900 megahertz (MHz) or 2100 MHz, it’s 3G. You can also look for a “3G” icon at the top corner of his phone, but not all 3G phones have that icon. How to Upgrade If you fi nd that you do need to upgrade your dad’s cellphone, carriers are off ering discounts and special promotions on replacement devices. If you’re worried about your dad having to learn your way around a new device, you’ll be happy to know that there are plenty of modern new fl ip phones available that work on the next-generation networks. Or, if your dad decides that he would rather forge ahead without a phone than upgrade, then he will need to cancel the service. Most carriers will let you cancel your plan without any penalty. However, if he forgets to cancel his phone plan and doesn’t upgrade to a working device, the company won’t automatically stop charging him just because he isn’t able to access their network. How to Recycle If your dad does have to replace his old cellphone, the best way to dispose of it is to recycle it. Large retailers, such as Best Buy, offer recycling programs for old electronics. Or you can search for local recycling programs on websites like Call2Recycle.org and Earth911.com. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Page 20 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 3, 2021 Start the New Year with a new career at the MBTA T he MBTA is aggressively hiring new employees to join its dynamic workforce. It takes many people to move more than a million trips a day, and the 6,500-person MBTA is redoubling efforts to hire hundreds of open positions – from train and trolley operators to administrative and technical positions, and especially bus drivers, who are in high demand to transport Massachusetts residents to work, play and everywhere in between. Prospective candidates looking for a rewarding career where they can have a positive impact on the entire region should visit mbta.com/ careers for more information on open positions and to learn about the MBTA’s many benefi ts and incentives. “The MBTA plays an integral and essential role in keeping Massachusetts moving. The T is a diverse and exciting place to work, and we’re actively hiring and training new employees, especially bus drivers, right now to join our ranks and play a significant part in revitalizing the region post pandemic,” said MBTA General Manager Stephen Poftak. “The MBTA is being proactive in recruiting new individuals to join our team and fast-tracking the hiring process, and will continue to work closely with local and state career centers and our community partners to recruit new individuals to join our team. We offer a variety of growth opportunities to employees and encourage members of the public to visit our website to learn more about our many open positions and beginning their career at the T.” This fall the MBTA has gone to over 20 online and in-person career fairs across the region, and it is updating the way it hires to make it easier and faster to start a T career, including Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) permit “events” at Registry of Motor Vehicle locations (CDL permits are encouraged in applying for bus operator positions), a revamp of the interview process and streamlining the application REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 DOAN, KHANH BARON, HEIDE ZHONG, YANG TAMANG, RUPESH CAIN, MATTHEW D PARFENI, SERGIU MASTROCOLA, ANTHONY BUYER2 MURRAY, WESLEY YONJAN, SANGITA L ELLIS, BRITTANY CARAUS, EVELINA SELLER1 SELLER2 TARDANICO MARIA EST GOLISANO, ENZA KELLY FT CAIN, MATTHEW D DAUNTLESS PATH LLC STONE GABLES CONDO ASSN OBRIEN RT TESTA, JAMES A OBRIEN, DENNIS M process.

The MBTA offers competitive salaries, extensive healthcare benefi ts, free public transit, training programs, tuition assistance, employee assistance programs and an emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion. MBTA employees also receive attractive retirement plans, paid vacation, holidays, sick time and fl exible spending accounts.
