S tate Senator Jason Lewis and State Representatives Steven Ultrino, Kate Lipper-Garabedian and Paul Donato are pleased to announce that the Malden Fire Department will be receiving $22,809.51 to purchase new safety equipment to protect their firefighters through the FY23 Firefi ghter Safety Equipment Grant Program.

This is the third year of a fi ve-year grant program to support fi refi ghter safety now and in the coming years. “Our brave fi refi ghters risk the health hazards posed by smoke and other fire byproducts to keep us safe. We owe it to our fi rst responders to provide them the equipment they need to stay safe and healthy,” said Senator Lewis. “I’m pleased that this state grant will support the Malden Fire Department and help keep our community and fi refi ghters protected.” “These grant funds will provide new equipment to our Malden Firefighters. Making sure that our emergency services have access to the best tools to keep both them and us safe has always been a top priority of mine,” said Representative Donato. “I’m proud to have worked with my colleagues on securing this funding.” “I was pleased to see this funding awarded to the Malden Fire Department,” said Representative Lipper-Garabedian. “It is of high importance that the men and women who work to protect us are themselves protected, and these funds will function to that end, allowing the purchase of impactful safety equipment.” “Our fi refi ghters dedicate their lives to the protection of our community, and we must ensure they have the best equipment and tools to continue keeping Malden safe,” said Representative Ultrino. “This funding will be used to upgrade equipment and purchase new protective gear and essential 10% Off Senior Discount!

With the passage of a home rule petition, Malden is now authorized to provide candidate names transliterated from English letters to Chinese characters – making it the next Massachusetts city to do so after Boston.

This past election, the City provided bilingual interpretation at every precinct, conducted extensive voter outreach among the Chinese-speaking population and created a hotline for live support if interpreters are unavailable. “This bill is the culmination of years of collaboration between advocates, voters, and the City. The work doesn’t stop here, but it’s a good time to pause and take stock of how much progress we have made,” said Greater Malden Asian American Community Coalition Co-Founder Diana Jeong. “It took more than a village to get here, but in particular we are grateful for the tireless work of Mayor Christenson, City Clerk Lucey, Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian Representative Amanda Linehan Ward 3 Councillor Ultrino, Representative Donato, Representative Lipper-Garabedian, Senator Lewis, and all the voters who go above and beyond the exercise their right to the ballot box.” “As a Malden resident, a community organizer, and activist with limited English profi ciency, I am delighted to hear about the passage of a fully bilingual ballot home rule petition that includes transliteration of candidate names. I read, write, and speak some English but sometimes I am not 100% confi dent if I voted for the candidate I want. With candidate names in Chinese on the ballot, I would be 100% sure of the candidates I voted for,” said Chinese Progressive Association Worker Center Coordinator Fiona Yu. “This important win for the voting rights of Chinese Americans in Malden demonstrates how even something as seemingly obvious as the ability to read the name of your preferred candidate on the ballot must be hard fought and hard won. This law helps Chinese speakers have the voice they deserve in our democracy and to participate in the decision-making of the community they contribute to every day.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 23, 2022 ~ Malden Musings ~ “A Christmas Prayer” by Peter F. Levine T he year, 1943 – Americans were fi ghting for their way of life, united against a common enemy, Maldonians very much included. We came together as a nation with an indomitable spirit led by what would later be christened (by Tom Brokaw) as “the greatest generation.” The free world would not bend. While the horrors of war raged, we clung to our faith in the inherent goodness of humanity. During these times, our conviction never broke. This prayer offered up by the New York Life Insurance Company in a 1943 Life Magazine full-page ad illustrates what the Christmas Season has meant to generations of Americans through the best of times – and the worst: “Let us pray that strength and courage abundant be given to Need a hall for your special event?

That the good that lies in every man’s heart may day by day be magnifi ed. That men will come to see more clearly not that which divides them, but that which unites them. That each hour may bring us closer to a fi nal victory, not of nation over nation, but of man over his own evils and weaknesses. That the true spirit of this Christmas Season – its joy, its beauty, its hope, and above all its abiding faith – may live among us. That the blessings of peace be ours – the peace to build and grow, to live in harmony and sympathy with others, and to plan for the future with confi dence.” The Extreme founding member, Malden’s very own Gary Cherone, lives for the Christmas season. Gary is the guy who wrote the Billboard #1 hit “More Than Words,” sold over 20 million records worldwide and commanded the stage at the 1991 Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert like he was boss of bosses! I’m talking about the skinny little kid from Highland Avenue who dreamed a dream that actually came true, and in the process, made Josephina an “extremely” proud mom (pun intended). Gary was the one with the awkward set shot always leaving his feet too early; the one with an obsessive love for Kong Gorilla; the one who never, ever forgot his Malden roots. With that said, yes – I am biased. I have been a fanboy since that fi rst time I heard “Mutha.” In my life since that fi rst chance encounter in 1979 standing outside my house on Charles Street with my brother David – “you should come see my band play some time.” I was all in. Gary had charisma.

View all our listings at: CarpenitoRealEstate.com Christmas 1896 Malden Young Men’s Christian Association set the world on fi re. They were not Elvis, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, but the music world and those of us that still have a love for guitar, drums and bass with an enigmatic front man appreciate that they were always honest and true with their music. Gary’s vocation in life was his music. He was all in. Turns out he was one of the fortunate ones. Many came before him (many came after) with that same dream, but the stars were aligned for Amerige Park’s most famous son. He went all in because it always came from the heart. And because he was a little mishigas! Most “artists” are! Which brings this long-winded diatribe somewhat full circle. His ode to the holiday, “Christmas Time Again,” was released in 1992 on A&M Records as part of an E.P. single with “Stop the World.” Gary may not have been the “Shakespeare of rock n roll,” as his ex-bandmate (the late) Eddie Van Halen once proclaimed, but he strived to always make a diff erence with his lyrics – like many of his musical heroes before him. It is a beautifully written, sentimental tune clocking in at 5:07 that got lost in the early ’90s shuffl e that was the world of pop and rock n roll. It should not be lost. It should be played every year at Christmas time (even on WJIB!). It should take its rightful place alongside all the other great holiday standards that have become holiday earworm in our lives. Forget all you know about Extreme. The pretty boy image. The bluster that is Nuno. The ill-advised “heavy metal” label that was thrown at them and stuck. Listen to this song. Listen to the sincerity in Gary’s voice as he sings this composition to his favorite day – the honesty in the lyrics. Listen to what is in Gary’s heart and to a song written from the soul of a man who made art his career. Merry Christmas, G Man, keep on rockin’! Who remembers happier days; Christmas shopping in Malden Square...Jordan Marsh, the Slack Shack, Bakers, Malden Jewelry, Roli Music and Malden Music Center, Sound on Sound, Pandora’s Box, Casual Scene, Sparks, Woolworths, Lady Grace, Gilchrist, Lerner’s, Tom McCann, Moe’s Smoke Shop, Converse Smoke Shop, Headlines, Jordan Marsh, Malden Army & Navy, Jerry’s Army & Navy, Kotzen’s, Boston Leader, Chisholm’s Sporting Goods, Hanlon’s Shoes, Liggett’s?

The Malden of today is an exciting and welcoming place to be living in with potential for even better days. But the generation that remembers buying blueberry muffi ns at Jordan Marsh, shoes at Louie Klane’s, school clothes at Sparks, or rolling papers at Headlines? You’re old! Really old. I kid! We may be old, but we had the best music ever created (as the t-shirts imply). Insert smiley face. And we had the best places in the Square to lighten our load and get our merry on like the Do Re Lounge, Bunkie Klane’s, Jack Haney’s, the Centre Bar & Grille (later Richard’s Pub), the Horseshoe Bar & Grille and the Auld New Lounge. Memories that will remain with us forever – for those that didn’t overindulge in Schlitz, that is. Insert (yet another) smiley face. Ten Christmas/Holiday songs for 10 nights in December, all guaranteed to get you in the 2022 holiday spirit: 1. James Brown – “Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto” 2.

One of the times when that quote springs to life happens to be tomorrow, Christmas Eve itself and then Christmas Day Sunday, no precipitation at all is forecast for the weekend after Friday, so a White Christmas for 2023 appears to be out of the question. With much lower gasoline prices, over 113 million travelers THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 23, 2022 MUSINGS | FROM PAGE 6 Holiday travelers are expected to fill the roads beginning today and continuing through January 2.

(Courtesy Photo) this weekend, which will feature buckets of rain today in the greater Boston area, followed by a precipitous, rollercoaster-like drop of temperature that will bring frigid temperatures for Saturday’s Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on Sunday. According to most forecasts, while temperatures are expected to be downright balmy today and tonight, into the high 50s and near 60, they will then plunge into the low 20s by Saturday morning, in a span of less than 12 hours. Accompanied by high and gusty winds, the unpredictable wind chill factor will make it seem like the low digits and close to zero degrees! A large storm system bringing heavy rain to Eastern Massachusetts and New England is predicted – a major storm affecting the entire East Coast, from the Canadian border in the north to the southern United States. A high wind warning is in effect for most of eastern Massachusetts from Friday morning to Saturday morning and a coastal flood watch through Friday afternoon. Forecasters are saying the biggest concern with this storm is the wind though the worst of the rain is expected to be this morning, with downpours for the commute, and then more heavy rain through the midday. After the drenching rains, which are expected to dissipate by early evening, the warmer, high 50s temperatures will plummet rapidly. After 9:00 tonight and continuing into the early morning hours, the temperature is expected to drastically fall close to 40 degrees in 9-10 hours, to the low 20s and high teens. Alas, while there will be frigid temperatures in the 20s and wind chills to the low single digits for both Christmas Eve Day expected to be hitting the roads this holiday season According to the AAA, 112.7 million people are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home in the United States between today, December 23 and Monday, January 2. It comes as New England is experiencing some of the lowest gasoline prices since May 2021, while heavy rains and high winds might affect holiday travel across the state. According to the AAA, about 102 million people are expected to drive to their holiday destinations this year, up about 2 million motorists from the 2021 holiday season. The number of 2022 motorists is in line with 2018 levels but down from pre-pandemic 2019, when a record 108 million motorists drove to their holiday destinations. “This year, travel time will be extended due to Christmas Day and New Year’s Day falling on Sundays,” said Paula Twidale, senior vice president of travel for AAA. “With hybrid work schedules, we are seeing more people take long weekends to travel because they can work remotely at their destination and be more flexible with the days they depart and return.” Air travel is expected to rise by 14 percent to 7.2 million passengers this year from 2021. In 2019, 7.3 million passengers traveled by air. Travel by bus, rail and cruise ship is projected to rise by 23% to 3.6 million people this holiday season from last year. That’s almost 94% of 2019 travel volumes. Statewide, the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline is $3.41. Nationwide, the price is $3.104, down from $3.68 in November and $3.30 at the same time last year. past, my mother was very special. Strong, protective, loving – she was adored by all and had a way of making each and every person feel special (whether she liked you or not!). Our friends became her friends over the years, and she just might have fed every single one of them. The Facebook posts honoring her life were what makes social media special in such tragic times. Moms would have loved to have read them and would have bragged unabashedly about one particular photo of her shoveling snow reaching almost 300 likes. My saint of a mother shoveling her sidewalk on Charles Street as her four big strong boys slept through the morning. They don’t make them like Dorothy Drago Levine any longer. For mom, her favorite Dr. Seuss Christmas quote: “And the Grinch, with his Page 7 Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?” Postscript 1: I love Malden during the holiday season. It is ingrained in my heart and soul – made extra special with memories of my late mom on Christmas morning. With that said…one of my favorite Boston Globe columnists, Beverly Beckham, wrote this on a recent Sunday: “Maybe this is the miracle of Christmas, not only that the heart remembers but that it speaks. And we listen. And while we do, it’s not the craziness and busyness of the season that we feel. It’s a kind of peace mixed with joy and love and gratitude. For what was. And for who was. And who is. And for all the Christmases past and this next one that’s yet to come.” Merry Christmas and happy new year, Malden! Postscript 2: It won’t soon replace “It’s a Wonderful Life” as the holiday go-to, but the 1964 Rod Serling–penned “Carol for Another Christmas” is a minor classic and is worth the watch. Postscript 3: On the tragic Christmas season passing of John Esposito – to Debbie: please remember – life carries on and love continues, stay strong and we will keep “John John” in our thoughts and in our hearts. Postscript 4: To my grandchildren Christian, Lola, Jack, Lana and Milo – thank you. Thank you for taking me along with you through another magical holiday season. WE CAN HELP PAY YOUR HEATING BILLS!

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call begins a series on highlighting the bills that were approved by the Legislature in 2022 and signed into law by Gov. Charlie Baker. LEGISLATURE OVERRIDES BAKER’S VETO OF BILL ALLOWING DRIVER’S LICENSE FOR UNDOCUMENTED/ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS (H 4805) House 119-36, Senate 32-8, gained the two-thirds vote necessary to override Gov. Charlie Baker’s veto of legislation that would allow, starting July 1, 2023, undocumented/ illegal immigrants to apply for a Massachusetts standard driver’s license.The legislation requires an applicant “without legal presence” in the United States to provide the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) with a foreign passport and at least one of five “We are grateful that providing financial education opportunities is a core value for these banks,” said MVES Money Management Program Manager Larry Poirier. “With their generosity, our volunteers make an immediate and meaningful impact in the community.” Please call 781-324-7705 or email info@mves.org if you are interested in sponsoring the Money Management Program and/or becoming a volunteer, or know someone who could benefit from the program. other documents: a driver's license from another state, a foreign driver's license, a birth certificate, a foreign national identification card or a marriage certificate or divorce decree from any U.S. state. Opponents of the bill gathered sufficient signatures to put the proposed law on the November ballot for voters to decide. Voters approved the law at the recent November election. “This is a victory for all, making our roads safer and allowing the 185,000 immigrants without status the ability to earn a driver’s license,” said sponsor Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn). “No one should fear deportation over essential everyday tasks, such as getting to work, school, doctor’s appointment and grocery stores.” “I cannot sign this legislation because it requires the Registry of Motor Vehicles to issue state credentials to people without the ability to verify their identity,” Baker had said in his veto message. “The Registry does not have the expertise or ability to verify the validity of many types of documents from other countries. The bill also fails to include any measures to distinguish standard Massachusetts driver’s licenses issued to persons who demonstrate lawful presence from those who don’t.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino Sen. Jason Lewis Yes Yes Yes FORBID DISCRIMINATION AGAINST A PERSON WITH A NATURAL HAIRSTYLE (H 4554) House 155-0,Senate 40-0, approved and Gov. Baker signed into law a bill that would prohibit any person or entity including educational institutions, workplaces and public spaces from implementing any policy that would explicitly target someone who wears their natural hairstyle. The measure defines natural hairstyle as “hair texture, hair type and protective hairstyles including braids, locks, twists and other formation.” BHRC | SEE PAGE 14

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 23, 2022 Page 11 Malden boys’ basketball knocks off Everett in 59-46 win Defense is the key for Tornadoes as they improve to 2-1 By Steve Freker E verything on this night seemed different, right from the start. The lights seemed a little brighter. The crowd was a bit larger (and louder). On this night, the home team looked very much like it was on a mission. If this was so, then by the end of the latest chapter of the Malden-Everett Basketball Chronicles, it was the Tornados' turn to trumpet: "Mission Accomplished!" The final was Malden 59, Everett 46 and that just happened to be the largest margin for either team on the evening. Malden used a game-long, rock-solid, man-to-man defense to keep a potent Everett scoring attack bottled up and then capitalized on its own offensive opportunities when they arose. Overall, it was a total team effort, according to Malden head coach Don Nally. "We used a short bench in this one and I have to say that everyone who was on the court for us contributed in a positive way and everyone played well." Topping the list was Malden's starting five. Coach Nally's Tornados picked the right night to get its best games of the season out of senior 6-6 center Jonald Joseph, junior 3-man Ezechial Noelsaint and freshman point guard Ethan Phejarasai. Junior 2-guard Justin Bell, tied for the game's leading scorer with 15 points, with most of his scoring at the free throw line. He was highly effective, scoring just two field goals, both of them, but sinking a deadly 9-of-10 from the free throw line, including a mega-clutch 6-for-6 in fourth quarter crunch time. Senior 6-6 center Jonald Joseph was a force on both ends, especially defensively (4 steals, 7 blocked shots) and also seemingly cemented the win with a thunderous, fourth-quarter dunk that put Malden up 11 points, 49-38, with 3:21 to go in the game. He ended up with six points on the night.

"For most of the night, Zeke (Noelsaint) was the best player on the court, that's how active and much of time, dominant he was." Noelsaint also scored 15 points for Malden and pulled down 11 rebounds. He also had four blocked shots. Nally also said that he went out of the box and instead of putting a guard as a defender against Everett's best player and scorer, junior Steven Cordero, he had the 6-4 Noelsaint switch off with 6-6 Joseph to cover the 5-11 Cordero. Cordero, who scored 22 and 25 in Everett's first two games, was held to 12 points Tuesday night.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 23, 2022 Page 15 Malden High swim has strong season opener, topping Bishop Fenwick, 84-77 Relay teams, Captain Nathan Nguyen lead the way in great start for Golden Tornados By Steve Freker M alden High coed swim team Head Coach Jess Bisson was not exactly sure what she had in the preseason practices, with so many new swimmers on the roster this winter season. But the rookies mixed in just fine with the more experienced Malden swimmers in the season opener last Thursday, Dec. 15 as the Tornados took an 84-77 win at the Barry Fitzpatrick Pool at Malden High. The win put Malden at 1-0 to start the season. The Tornados team was back in action Tuesday on the road at Medford in its Greater Boston League (GBL) opener. “It was a very good start to the season with a win over a strong non-league team like Bishop Fenwick,” Coach Bisson said. “We got some solid performances with some of our swimmers already qualifying for Sectionals and one swimmer qualifying for States with their times.” Malden got off to a big start by winning the 200-yard medley relay with senior co-captain Nathan Nguyen, seniors Nimon Jusufi and Kyle Lee and sophomore David Xu coming in at 1:56.15. The team of Jocelyn Nguyen, Hailey Tran, Sophie Tran and Wara Ramirez Morales took third place (2:04.51), and the team of Christina Mui, Danielle Harrington, Tiffany Pham and Justina Lim was fourth at 2:45.02. Malden had a solid showing in the 200-yard freestyle relay Malden Mayor Gary Christenson attended the first Malden High coed varsity swim meet on Thursday, Dec. 15.

Sophomore Karim Ammar led the way in the sweep of the 100 free with a time of 1:04.86. Lee was second at 1:05.16. Pham was third at 1:06.7. In the 200 freestyle relay, Malden won that event as well, which put the Tornados over the top. The home team also took second and fourth places. Nathan Nguyen, Nimon Jusufi, Kyle Lee – all seniors – and sophomore David Xu combined for the winning time of 1:52.72. Taking second was the four of sophomore Hailey Tran, freshman Danielle Harrington, sophomore James Zhou and sophomore Jocelyn Nguyen. Fourthplace finishers were Malden’s Stephanie Wong, a sophomore, senior Leo Chen, junior Justina Lim and sophomore Lanyu Liang. Co-captain Nathan Nguyen came up big for Malden with a win in 50-yard freestyle at 25.42 seconds. Kyle Lee was third (27.68 seconds) and Joao Victor Santos fourth (30.22 seconds). Jusufi won the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:17.04. Hailey Tran was third at 1:18.37 and the seventh-grader Sophie Tran fourth (1:19.78). Another key reason Malden was able to pull out the overall meet win was that the Tornados THUMBS UP!

Kyle Ammar was third (2:30.79), Joyce Zhou was fourth (2:49:10) and Ryan Li was fifth (3:01.17). Bishop Fenwick won the 200yard medley, but Malden took 2-3-4; Hailey Tran was second at 2:28.43, David Xu was third at 2:35.55 and Jusufi was fourth (2:55.59). Malden also went 2-3-5 in the 100-yard backstroke. Nathan Nguyen was second at 1:08.63.

The Tornados went 2-4-5 in the 100-yard butterfly. Malden seventh-grader Sophie Tran placed second, qualifying for the 2023 MIAA State Swim Tournament with a 1:05.49 finish.

Bloom, Santos, Ammar and Sophie Tran finished at 4:28.69. Crimson Tide Co-Op hockey begins new season with positive results Talented Everett turns heads after competitive battle against perennial postseason contender Medford By Joe McConnell I n recent years, the Medford High School Hockey Mustangs have been a dominant team in the Greater Boston League. But only two games into this season, the Everett Crimson Tide co-op squad (1-1) is quickly sending a message to its opponents that they are not going to be taken lightly anymore. After defeating the Lynn Jets 8-1 to open up the season, Everett literally put a scare in the host Mustangs last Wednesday (Dec. 14) at the LoConte Rink, where they led after two periods, 4-3. At that point, Medford knew work had to be done to come away with two points. After scoring a couple of third-period power play goals, followed by one into the empty net, the Mustangs managed to escape with a 7-4 victory. Considering they blew away the Tide last year – also right before Christmas – to the tune of 11-1, the Medford boys now understand they will have to pay attention to Everett in the standings throughout the next three months. First-year Everett head coach Craig Richards already knew what he had on the roster before the Medford game, but his club only reinforced his belief in them after last week’s game in Medford. “We’re still firing on all cylinders, even after this loss,” Richards said. “We have a deep, hardworking team that has a lot of talent this year, and we’re definitely on par with Medford after I was able to see a lot of positives that came out of this game.” Mystic Valley’s Mike Brandano of Malden paced the offensive attack against Medford with two goals. Revere’s Frankie Annunziata and Mystic Valley’s Lucas Deguire accounted for one apiece. Revere’s Chris Cecca was the assist leader in this game with two. His schoolmate Matt Lacroix and Everett’s Cam Couto each setup one lamplighter. Goalie Ben Rosa of Malden was in net versus Medford. But he also had help from his defensive friends, specifically Everett sophomore Andrew Crasco, who was one of the players of the game, according to the coach. “(Crasco) blocked six or seven shots in this game to help keep his teammates ahead or close on the scoreboard,” said Richards. The Everett boys are currently on holiday break after taking on Lynn again in the home opener on Dec. 21 after press deadline. They will resume the schedule against host Somerville on Jan. 4, starting at 5:30 p.m. Malden High sophomore David Xu (left) and senior Kyle Lee talk between events at the swim meet.

Page 18 avy eniiooravvy S iorn or avvyavy vvy io iori by Jim Miller How to Reduce Your Medical Bills Dear Savvy Senior, What tips do you recommend to Medicare benefi ciaries dealing with hefty medical bills? My husband recently had open heart surgery and is recovering slowly, but the medical bills are coming in fast and furious and they’re putting us in medical debt. Struggling in Springfi eld Dear Struggling, I’m sorry to hear about your billing struggles, but medical debt has unfortunately become a chronic problem in this country. According to U.S. Census data 19 percent of Americans households carry medical debt, including 10 percent of households headed by someone 65 or older. Even seniors on Medicare can easily get snagged in a web of complicated billing and coverage problems. To help you slash your medical bills, here are some tips recommended by health care experts that you should try. Double check your bills: Almost half of all medical bills contain at least one error, including duplicate charges or charges for services you never received. If you’re facing a high bill and are on the hook for some portion of it, request itemized invoices from the hospital and other providers that detail everything you were charged for and go through them line by line. If you fi nd something you don’t understand or fi nd fi shy contact the provider for an explanation or a correction. Wait for your EOB: Doctors’ offi ces and hospitals may mail initial bills to you before they even submit them to your health insurer. So, hold off on any payment until you receive an explanation of benefi ts (EOB) from your provider – Medicare, supplemental Medicare, Medicare Advantage, or private insurer. This will show what you owe after your insurance has paid its portion. If your EOB shows that your insurer is refusing to pay for services that you think should be covered, call them to see whether it’s a correctable mistake, such as a coding error for a certain test or treatment. If it’s truly a denial of coverage, you may need to fi le an appeal. For details on how to fi le a Medicare appeal, see Medicare.gov/claims-appeals/how-do-i-fi le-an-appeal. Ask for a discount: Call the hospital’s accounting offi ce or the billing staff at your doctor’s practice and ask if they can reduce your bill. You’d be surprised how often this works. Or if you have the funds to pay the entire bill, ask the hospital or provider for a “prompt pay” discount which may save you 15 percent or more. If it’s best for you to pay your bills over time, ask the billing offi ce to set up a no-interest payment plan for you. It’s in the provider’s interest to work with you to obtain payment. You can also call the hospital where your husband had his surgery and ask a billing specialist if the facility off ers fi nancial assistance. According to the American Hospital Association, about half of U.S. hospitals are nonprofi t. This means they are required to off er free or discounted services in some instances. This is usually reserved for low to moderate income patients who have limited or no health insurance, but requirements vary from hospital to hospital. If you’ve gotten nowhere on your own, contact the Patient Advocate Foundation (patientadvocate.org, 800-532-5274) who can help you understand and negotiate your medical bills, free of charge. Or consider hiring a medical billing professional to negotiate for you but be aware that these services can cost upward of $100 an hour. You can fi nd potential candidates through the Alliance of Professional Health Advocates (advoconnection. com). Be sure to choose someone who is credentialed by the Patient Advocate Certifi cation Board. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book. THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 23, 2022 BHRC| FROM PAGE 8 The bill also expands existing anti-bullying law in schools to include recognition for students who may be more vulnerable to bullying or harassment because of their natural hairstyle. Another provision requires the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination to investigate complaints fi led against employers who have discriminated based on natural hairstyle. “On the long march toward justice, and especially racial justice, the Senate’s unanimous passage of this legislation marks another step forward,” said Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester). “We would not be at this point without the great courage and strength of Mya and Deanna Cook, who as 15-year-old students faced discrimination and abuse from their high school for their hairstyles, and bravely stood up for their rights and those of so many other Black women.” “This is an historic moment for Massachusetts. I am beyond delighted that the [bill] passed unanimously in the House, and words cannot describe how great it is to see the years of hard work from advocates, staff , legislators and community members bear fruit,” said co-sponsor Rep. Steve Ultrino (D-Malden). The votes in our chamber sent a clear message: race-based discrimination has no place in our commonwealth. On this day, we ensured that a person’s racial and cultural identity will no longer be an obstacle to their education, professional career and path to success.” There was a light moment during fl oor debate on the bill. “As you may have guessed, I have never experienced hair discrimination,” said Rep. Ultrino, who is bald. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis 5090) Yes REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE (H House 137-16, Senate 40-0, approved and Gov. Baker signed into law a bill designed to further protect reproductive health care and those who perform abortions in the Bay State. The measure specifi - cally declares that both reproductive health care and gender-affi rming care are rights secured by the constitution or laws of Massachusetts and would shield providers of reproductive and gender-affi rming care and their patients from out-of-state legal action. The measure would ensure that patients over 24 weeks of pregnancy are able to receive an abortion in Massachusetts because of a grave fetal diagnosis that indicates the fetus is incompatible with sustained life outside of the uterus without extraordinary medical interventions and requires that those decisions are made between the patient and their treating physician. Other provisions include preventing the state’s cooperation with anti-abortion and anti-gender-affi rming care laws in other states; mandating health insurance coverage for abortion and abortion-related care with no cost-sharing; ensuring access to emergency contraception; and providing confi dentiality to providers of reproductive and gender-affi rming care;clarifying that vending machines may dispense over-thecounter drugs, such as Plan B – the “morning after” pill; andensuring access to medication abortion on all public college and university campuses. “Massachusetts remains steadfast in its commitment to protect access to reproductive health care services, especially in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade,” said Gov. Baker. “The court’s decision has major consequences for women across the country who live in states with limited access to these services, and our administration took quick action in the hours following that decision by issuing an executive order to protect access here in the commonwealth. This new legislation signed today builds on that action by protecting patients and providers from legal interference from more restrictive laws in other states.” “In the face of an increasing amount of anti-abortion and anti-gender-affirming care laws enacted across the country, Massachusetts continues to serve as a national leader in protecting these essential rights with the passage of this legislation,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), the lead sponsor of the measure and Senate chair of the Committee on Health Care Financing. “We must do everything we can to protect the rights of our providers, patients and visitors to the commonwealth. "As a candidate for governor in 2014, Charlie Baker was sold as a Bill Weld-style Republican—socially liberal but fiscally conservative," said Catholic Action League Executive Director C.J. Doyle. "The abortion expansion bill which he signed … imposes new burdens on taxpayers and business owners, increases the scope of government—with state colleges now dispensing Plan B abortion pills and denies personal freedom of choice for those opposed to abortion. There is no conscience clause for pharmacists, business owners or non-profi t organizations, and the religious exemption is so narrowly drawn that most Catholic educational institutions will not qualify under it. Baker's legacy on this legislation is one of higher spending, bigger government, and less personal freedom.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against the bill.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes CLEAN ENERGY AND REDUCED EMISSIONS (H 5060) House 143-9, Senate 38-2, approved and Gov. Baker signed into law legislation that would expand the clean energy industry and reduce emissions from the transportation and building sectors across the state with the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. “Massachusetts has an opportunity to meet the urgency of the climate crisis through our nation-leading innovation, workforce and energy resources,” said Rep. Jeff Roy (D-Franklin), House chair of the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy. “This timely and comprehensive piece of legislation is carefully calibrated to provide a portfolio of robust clean energy, including off shore wind and decarbonize our largest-emitting industries, all while attracting a world-class supply chain, intensive workforce training initiatives and the investment necessary to prepare our electric distribution system for the energy needs of the future.” “The bill dramatically increases the cost of energy in Massachusetts at a time when energy costs already hover at record highs, and the price of all other goods are increasing due to record infl ation,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “People won’t be able to aff ord this legislation, especially the drastic changes that will be needed in older homes. Everyone laments how expensive housing is, yet the Legislature just made housing more expensive by passing this bill.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes CREATING WOMEN’S RIGHTS HISTORY TRAIL PROGRAM (S 2802) House 154-0, Senate 39-0, approvedand the governor signed into law a bill that would require the state to develop and implement a Women’s Rights History Trail Program. The measure includes requiring the state to designate properties and sites that are historically and thematically associated with the struggle for women’s rights and women’s suff rage. Another provision provides that the state promote education and awareness of the struggle for women’s rights in the state. A 13-member Women’s Rights History Trail Task Force would be formed to research, solicit public input and make recommendations for sites, properties and attractions to be included in the trail. “Massachusetts has a rich history of involvement in the women's rights movement,” said the bill’s Senate sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “Women have had a pivotal role in shaping the policies of our commonwealth, and this bill will ensure that those contributions are known and celebrated … The history of these women is our history, and we must continue to advance that history forward.” “I am humbled and proud to sponsor this legislation,” said House sponsor Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury). “This legislation ensures that the many women from our commonwealth who contributed to the fabric of our nation and democracy are recognized, and their accomplishments preserved in our state’s history, so that their legacies may serve as inspiration for future generations of young women.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Yes Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL GOV. BAKER APPOINTED TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE NCAA – The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced that eff ective March 1, 2023, Gov. Charlie Baker will serve as the next NCAA President, assuming the role effective March 2023. “We are excited to welcome Gov. Charlie Baker to the NCAA and eager for him to begin his work with our organization,” said Linda Livingstone, President of Baylor University and Chair of the NCAA Board of Governors. “Gov. Baker has shown a remarkable ability to bridge divides and build bipartisan consensus, taking on complex challenges in innovative and eff ective ways. As a former student-athlete himself, husband to a former college gymnast, and father to two former college football players, Gov. Baker is deeply committed to our student-athletes and enhancing their collegiate experience. These skills and perspective will be invaluable as we work with policymakers to build a sustainable model for the future of college athletics.” “I am honored to become the next president of the NCAA, an organization that impacts millions of families and countless communities across this country every day,” said Baker. “The NCAA is confronting complex and signifi cant challenges, but I am excited to get to work as the awesome opportunity college athletics provides to so many students is more than worth the challenge. And for the fans that faithfully fi ll stadiums, stands and gyms from coast to coast, I am eager to ensure the competitions we all love to follow are there for generations to come. Over the coming months, I will begin working with student-athletes and NCAA members as we modernize college sports to suit today’s world, while preserving its essential value.” CITIZENS FOR LIMITED TAXATION (CLT) CLOSES DOWN AND HANDS OFF TO THE MASS FISCAL ALLIANCE – Chip Ford, the executive director of CLT announced that the group will end its 48-year operation at the end of the year. “It’s a new era, time for new energy to move the tax limitation movement forward in Massachusetts,” said Ford. “For going on half a century CLT has carried the burden of leadership in that indispensable mission. The time has come to pass the tax limitation torch on to another generation. Fortunately for Bay State taxpayers, and especially for CLT members, Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance is positioned well to run with that torch.” “We thank Chip Ford for having faith in us to carry on the tremendous legacy of Citizens for Limited Taxation,” said Paul Craney, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “From the 5 percent income tax roll back, to Prop 2½ and Chapter 62F, CLT’s legacy continues to have a measurable, positive impact on the businesses and working families of Massachusetts every day. We look forward to preserving that legacy and continuing on their mission of taxpayer protection for decades to come.” The late Barbara Anderson, the group’s fi rst executive director died in 2016 and associate director Chip Faulkner died in 2019. Both passed away at the age of 73. Chip Ford, CLT’s co-director alongside Barbara since 1996 then executive director since 2016, turned 73 last month and decided it’s time to step aside. “I’m not particularly superstitious,” Ford said, “but why tempt the fates? With Paul Craney and his team at MassFiscal so ably advancing the mission this is a good time and place for CLT and me to take our leave.” CLT led the charge for many tax savings measures over the years including passage of Proposition 2 ½ which limited property taxes, repeal of the 1975 7.5 percent surtax and the roll back of the 1989 income tax hike. Most recently, CLT was responsible for the return of $2.9 billion to taxpayers based on Chapter 62F, a 1986 law proposed by CLT and approved by the voters. That law requires that tax revenue above a certain amount collected by the state go back to the taxpayers. The state has determined that the net state tax revenues of BHRC | SEE PAGE 20

Attorney General Maura Healey partnered with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents (MASS), the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) and the Massachusetts School Administrators’ Association (MSAA) in hosting the conference, which was called “Addressing Hate in School Sports.” School administrators, athletic directors and staff , coaches, and referees attended the event, which was planned in collaboration with Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society, ADL New England and other community organizations, and featured representatives from the Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Boston Pride, Boston Renegades and BASKETBALL | FROM PAGE 11 balanced off ensively, passing the ball extremely well and also doing an excellent job defensively on everybody he covered," Coach Nally said. Phejarasai scored 9 points, including a nothing-but-net dagger "three" in mid-fourth quarter when Malden was furiously trying to put the game away. Nally also pointed to the efforts of three Malden seniors, who also put in valuable minutes to the Tornado win: starting guard Peyton Carron, 6-3 forward Andrew Louis and 6-1 guard Ransley Saint-Jean, who scored six points. Louis, who came out for the team for the fi rst this year, had several big rebounds and was another big body under the basket for Malden. Carron helped break the Everett full court press on a number of occasions and also hit one of two, big fourth-quarter three-pointers Tuesday. Everett's scoring was well-balanced with Cordero leading the way with 12 points, but only two points in the second half— and no fi eld goals—two free throws. Ruiz and senior Anderson Joseph both scored 10 points, with all Joseph's points coming in the fourth quarter. Desouza had six points for Everett. ganizations earlier this year during a virtual call-to-action. “There is no place for hate in our society, and our school athletic programs have an obligation to set those standards and expectations,” said Superintendent Kelly, who is the MASS president. “The Addressing Hate in School Sports Conference brings superintendents, principals, athletic directors and coaches together focused on the goal of creating the individual and team culture that supports the diversity of our At TD Garden, Attorney General and Governor-Elect Maura Healey led a statewide conference on student-athlete hate with participants including education leaders from Malden and Revere.

Conefrey and Superintendent Kelly are both part of a statewide task force created by AG Healey to address these issues. “As a former student-athlete and coach, I know that sports can be a powerful unifi er,” said AG Healey at the event. “Today, we brought together coaches, athletic directors and educators who are committed to ensuring that young people can participate in school sports in a safe and inclusive environment. I am grateful to all our Malden came out of the gate determined, leading 10-4 after the fi rst quarter. The defense was already in control and the lesd went to 26-14 for Malden at halftime.

Riley. “Sports teams and events should be places where everyone feels welcome and respected, and I hope that this conference will empower schools and athletic offi cials to build a more positive culture for our students.” “MIAA and MSAA are committed to providing the support and resources our members need to promote behaviors that instill respect for self, team, opponents, officials, rules and the game itself,” said MIAA/MSAA Executive Director Robert Baldwin. “We are excited to be working with the Attorney General’s Offi ce and other partners to utilize the collective power of positive infl uence to help student athletes and teacher-coaches serve as role models to empower ALL participants in the process of positive decision making. When teacher-coaches, student athletes, and game offi cials choose the privilege of participating in interscholastic athletics, they assume the responsibility for right action,” Baldwin added. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY (NOFA) American Rescue Plan Act Funds Available for Vacant Property Acquisitions NOFA RELEASED: QUESTIONS DUE: ADDENDUMRELEASED: APPLICATIONS DUE: APPLICATION OPENING: DECEMBER 28, 2022 AT 10:00 A.M.

ALLOW USE OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS FOR CHILD CARE FOR CANDIDATES FOR PUBLIC OFFICE(S 3152) – The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would allow a candidate for public offi ce to use campaign funds for childcare while the candidate is campaigning on his or her own behalf or attending events directly related to his or her campaign. The bill prohibits payments to family members, unless the relative owns, operates or is employed by a professional daycare or babysitting service and the cost of the service is not greater than the family member would otherwise charge. Under current law, candidates are prohibited from using campaign funds for their personal use. The state’s Offi ce of amping and Political Finance has classifi ed childcare, while performing campaign duties, as a personal expense rather than a cam- LEGAL NOTICE - City of Malden Massachusetts paign expense. “This bill would break down a major barrier to open elective offi ce to people who have traditionally not had that opportunity,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “Many of us currently in offi ce would not be here today if we didn’t have trusted people taking care of our kids while we knocked doors for our fi rst campaigns. Allowing campaign fi nances to be used for childcare means that more people in our communities can participate than ever before and amplify the voices of those who have previously not been heard.” “It’s exciting to see [the bill] move through the Senate,” said House sponsor Rep. Mike Connolly (D-Cambridge). “We fi led this bill so that all candidates, no matter their economic or family background, can have a better opportunity to run for state or local offi ce. Allowing candidates to use their own campaign funds for childcare will help to strengthen the diversity of the candidate pool and the representation in our elected bodies.” REQUIRE CERTIFICATION FOR TECHNICIANS WHO STERILIZE AND MAINTAIN HOSPITAL SURGICAL EQUIPMENT (S 2933) — House approved a Senate-approved measure that requires standardized certifi cation of an estimated 1,800 Bay State hospital technicians by a nationally accredited organization. These 1,800 technicians are responsible for ensuring that surgical instruments are safe and sanitary to protect patients from possible infection. The proposal also requires the technicians to complete an annual continuing education curriculum. It was fi led as a response to several high-profi le incidents across the state in which surgical tools used in operations on patients may have been improperly disinfected. Supporters said that technicians are currently allowed to work with a high school diploma or equivalent degree and without additional relevant training, despite being required to keep up to date with the latest practices for over 37,000 diff erent surgical instruments. Sen. Anne Gobi (D-Spencer) said she co-sponsored the bill in order to make sure that central service technicians have proper credentials. “The reason is that they are responsible for the sterilization and packaging of surgical equipment,” said Gobi. “That is a critical duty and improper sterilization can lead to infection and could lead to death.” Only fi nal approval is needed in each and branch prior to the proposal going to Gov. Baker. DEATH OF A CHILD UNDER 2 (H 5422) – The House approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would require that the autopsy report for a child under the age of two be reviewed and approved by the Chief Medical Examiner to determine the cause of death. Changes to the autopsy report would also have to be reviewed and approved by the Chief Medical Examiner. Supporters said the measure addresses recent cases in which the Chief Medical Examiner’s offi ce changed the cause of death for deaths of children under two, creating serious implications for ongoing court cases and for the families of those children. They noted that the most experienced person in the offi ce should provide oversight to what are typically junior medical examiners without pediatric autopsy experience. They argued this will provide more confi dence and peace of mind for families who have tragically lost infants. “Cases involving very young children are complex and sensitive—and fortunately, rare—representing a small portion of the cases handled by the Medical Examiner’s offi ce,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington). “That means that pediatric cases deserve to be reviewed and approved by the most exBHRC | SEE PAGE 22 1. “Gulliver’s Travels” by Jonathan Swift 2. Louisa May Alcott 3.

I hope the Senate takes up the matter soon, it’s the least that we can do when these tragedies occur.” “I am deeply appreciative that the House has affi rmed the importance of this bill for the second time this session. I hope that the Senate will take it up soon so that we can send it to Gov. Baker's desk,” said House sponsor Rep. Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge). QUOTABLE QUOTES — GOV. BAKER MOVES ON TO THE NCAA — Gov. Baker was appointed to be president of the NCAA beginning in 2023. Here are some of the things he said following his appointment: “My wife was probably the best athlete in the family.” “I've always believed that sports just have this tremendous power to bring people together.” “It's big and complicated. So have been a lot of things I’ve done in my life, but most of the time, they were absolutely worth doing.” “It’s about being a convener and the collaborator of a very large organization that has a lot of points of view and seeking to fi nd those places where people can come together, can agree and can make a case generally to the public, to their student athletes, to their alumni and their fans about what the best way to ensure that we don’t lose this jewel going forward.” “It is through sports that so many people fi nd themselves and develop a lot of the skills and capabilities that translate through the rest of their lives.” HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and briefl ength of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible latenight sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.
