However, that all changed when the residents received a letter from Attorney Thomas Brennan, counsel for MVRCS. With the holiday season just weeks away, the November 10 letter stated that residential tenants only had until the end of December to move out. Although there are also commercial units in the building, Brennan’s letter was only sent to the residents.

Warren said he was very appreciative of Spadafora reaching out; in fact, it is unfortunate Mystic Valley had to step up the notices to quit for tenants due to Councillors Stephen Winslow’s and David Camel’s actions taken over the summer and recently toward Mystic Valley, without regard to the impact such actions might have on their constituents who are current tenants at the purchased properties.

I should know, I spent every morning and afternoon with him for around nine years. I learned a lot, like what ‘latch-key kid’ meant and that daytime judges come and go but Judge Judy is forever. Pa taught me how to eat grapes by biting them in half and never drinking water when lying down. He also taught me to come to a complete stop at stop signs and never honk because you never know what kind of day the guy in front of you has been having, and you especially don’t know if he has a baseball bat. “On our drives he taught me to always wear my seatbelt. This is where him and Pavlov have a lot in common. My grandfather, who may or may not own a hammer, used toilet paper rolls to make piggy banks, which we would put a dime in every time he forgot to wear his seatbelt. I wouldn’t compare him to Benjamin Franklin, but it worked. I still wear my seatbelt every time I get into a car. When he stopped driving me to school, we made a tradition that every Sunday he would have fi ve dollars for me in the fi sh dish (a porcelain dish shaped like a fi sh where he placed his valuables) – which he fondly referred to as my seatbelt money. Pa was very proud of the fi sh dish. He would brag about his children’s accomplishments, but what he was most proud of most was that for the last 50+ years he would keep money on the fi sh dish and know that it would always be there the next morning. “Pa taught me a lot about trust, but what he taught me most about was family. He had a saying: ‘Your only friends are The late Solomon “Jerry” Levine of West End fame is shown with family friend Gary Cherone of Extreme fame. (Courtesy Photo) your family.’ I misunderstood this for a long time; I thought it meant that you can only trust your family – but what he really meant was that it doesn’t matter if you haven’t spoken to your brother in 30 years – when he does fi nally call, you’ll always be there to listen. Even with his own brothers, Pa would go years – if not decades – not speaking, but he was always there to answer. Frank would still call him to ask for rides from time to time, even when they were not necessarily speaking. Pa always had fond recollections of his brothers. Pa was in awe of his brother Frank, who he considered so intelligent, but just never learned to drive – which was something Pa would remember, even when they weren’t speaking.

He would often remind me that ‘distance only makes the heart grow fonder’ – although it didn’t always make missing everyone easier. After spending so much time together, he would often refer to us as ‘heartzaga’ (not sure of the spelling), which means ‘two hearts beat as one.’ These last few years, Pa spoke very lovingly about my mother. He would often compare her to Noni, which was the highest compliment he could ever give. Pa spoke often of his father, a man he loved and respected. When Pa was a young man, he remembers his father reading obituaries, and whenever he would see a Jewish person had passed he would say ‘Zulick, we lost a friend today.’ “Well, Zulick, we lost a friend today.” It is said in Malden today, tomorrow and yesterday... • The City of Malden’s very own Energizer Bunny, Strategy and Business Development Offi cer Kevin Duff y, is at it again, Maldonians. He’s all in for December 4 when he throws yet another of those fabulous parties in Malden Square. This time it’s called the City of Malden Winter Festival and will follow the same script as his popular summer festivals this past summer. On Saturday, December 4, from 12 to 4 p.m., Kevin has lined up artists and artisan gifts, circus performers (can we still call them “circus performers?” – just kidding), and there will be a tree lighting with fun for kids of all ages. I reached out to the Duff for a comment once I heard the good news. Never at a loss for words – you go, Kevin: “The Winter Festival will be a treat. With holiday shopping and amazing performances, this outdoor event will help the community celebrate the holidays together while also supporting our downtown businesses.” Save a hot chocolate for me, Kevin. • Bravo to longtime Maldonian Kevin Larson for the donation of 800 pairs of socks to the Warming Center in his late brother Eddie’s name. Kevin wears his heart on his sleeve when it comes to his love for his brother Eddie and the city of Malden. Thank you, Kevin. • Anybody else read Richard Umbro’s article titled “A Soldier of Misfortune” in last week’s Malden Advocate? Beautifully written, heartfelt piece on the most “unluckiest kid” during World War II, Eddie Slovic. If you missed the print edition, read it online. • I commemorate the passing in 1959 (Oct. 14) of the greatest actor of his generation (and of all time) – Errol Flynn. In his memory I give you my favorite Errol quip: “The public has always expected me to be a playboy, and a decent chap never lets his public down.” Ward 5 School Committee dude Adam Weldai ran unopposed, but I still want to take a moment to congratulate this wonderful young man. I had a conversation with him years ago at Pisa Pizza after he successfully ran for the fi rst time. I mentioned to him that he would have my complete and enthusiastic support if ever he decided to run for higher offi ce. That off er still stands. I will admit that it was very encouraging to see all the new blood running for office this year. Seems to have added some much-needed energy and interest in this year’s proceedings. This was not your grandfather’s November 2 in Malden. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – thank you, by the way, to everybody who has been so kind – sending along condolences on the passing of the living legend himself, my father, Jerry Levine. Joe, Frank, Barbara, David and I will never forget the kind words and the wonderful memories of our father that you shared with us. So many wonderful memories, so many great times. Dennis (Damiano) might have summed it up best, though. The Damianos and Levines go back to the beginning of time and still do. Dennis and my father had a special bond. “We’ll never see another man like your father; he was a man’s man Peter.” Thank you, Dennis.

While neighboring, similar communities like Everett received close to $14 million is SOA funding, Malden's allocation was a fraction of that, in the $2.2 million range. At a recent Malden City Council meeting, city budget analyst Ron Hogan described the existing situation on this community where the state funding aid formula does not balance with Malden's needs. In a comparative analysis with a similar community such as Everett for example, Malden's needs do not match up with such critical funding as Chapter 70 aid for schools and in other areas. "It is now out of whack," Hogan told the Councillors. "It's something we have been aware for some time and it is coming to a head." Hogan said the state aid funding being allocated is increasingly leaving a gap which is not going to be sustainable in the near future. The key ingredient to the funding formula that does not truly match Malden's profile is the wealth per capita, which, in this city, according to city officials, does not accurately depict Malden's basic funding need. There are other inequities as well, officials say. For instance, according to a 2020 report by the Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce claims that the formula for distributing state funding to schools in Massachusetts gives wealthier communities more money than they need, creating a widening gap in the student expense of lower-income communities. Hogan said the Chapter 70 funding formula was established in 1993 and "a lot has changed since then."Several Councillors concurred that the nearly 30-year-old formula is now "largely obsolete". Hogan added that Malden's state legislative delegation, led by state Sen. Jason Lewis, who actually authored the Student Opportunity Act, has been working in concert with city leaders to address this major issue. The Malden budget analyst said it is time for state legislators to revamp the funding formula for Chapter 70, primarily, so communities like Malden do not fall further behind financially. ******* Malden City Councillors continue to work on redistricting change proposals The Malden City Council 425r Broadway Saugus, MA 01906 781-231-1111 Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Rt. 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut St. We are a skating rink with bowling alleys, arcade and Two TV’s where the ball games are always on.

But before her extensive professional baseball career, Helen “Nordie” Nordquist was a Golden Tornado from Malden High School. From an early age, Nordquist was a trailblazer with her distinctive athleticism. As a child, she played with the neighborhood boys. The adults who watched them noted that she was already better than her peers. For junior high, she attended the Beebe School. Almost immediately, Nordquist seen as a standout Crafting her legacy already, she stood out in her grade almost immediately, as she impressed her gym teacher by being the only girl to climb to the top of the rope during class. From then on, she made MHS history by being the first female to ever be recognized for her athleticism, earning two Varsity letters and various certificates for her achievements. Nordquist’s streak of athletic excellence reigned during her years at Malden High School. She was a triple-team competitor from her first year, playing field hockey, basketball and softball, eventually obtaining the role of co-captain for both field hockey and softball. She stunned fellow classmates and teachers with her sheer talent. Her gym teacher and coach, Virginia Gardner, called her one of the “best and finest athletes” she had encountered. For the Class of 1950, she was voted as the most athletic female student. In the same year, she won the Kappa Phi award for best female athlete, taking home a gold cup. Gardner came up with “Nordie” Malden High helped her earn several accolades, but it was also the place that gave her the nickname “Nordie.” Gardner was the creator; she was known for calling her students by their last names. For Nordquist, Gardner shortened her last name down to “Nordie” – becoming a name all of Malden knew her by. Nordquist graduated from Malden High in 1950, but her sports journey did not end there. By either fate or chance, she found an advertisement in a newspaper for tryouts hosted by the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). She trekked all the way to Virginia with her mother on a Greyhound bus. The grueling tryouts paid off immensely as Nordquist was accepted into the League. However, her acceptance 100 years of cigar experience meant that at the young age of 19 she would have to move from her home of Malden to Kenosha, Wisconsin, as the AAGPBL only operated in the Midwestern states. Despite the drastic change in location, Nordquist hustled on the baseball field, establishing one of her strongest assets: her adaptability. She played for the Kenosha Comets during their 1951 season. Even though she was an outfielder, she was noted for versatility, with her baseball stats describing her as a “versatile player” who “led the league in assists” in her first-ever year in the AAGPBL. The Kenosha Comets, unfortunately, disbanded in 1951, but Nordquist recuperated, finding a place with the Rockford (Illinois) Peaches. Played for “A League of Their Own”–inspired Rockford Peaches in 1952 and 1953 Taking on both roles as an outfielder and pitcher, Nordquist competed with the Rockford Peaches for their 1952 and 1953 seasons. In a remarkable feat, the Peaches made the playoffs in those same two years. For the 1952 season, the team had a record of 55-54; in 1953 the record was 51-55. The Rockford Peaches grew to have a substantial legacy after the 1992 film “A League of Their Open Thanksgiving Day 8 am to 2 pm Happy T-Day to All!

While the film mainly uses fictional characters to drive the plot, it is based on the Rockford Peaches during their creation in the 1940s. The former members of the team, including Nordquist, were invited to be extras for the film. During this time, Nordquist joined another league, the International Girls Baseball League, playing for them simultaneously. The IGBL was created by the same founders of the AAGPBL, and it focused on playing in areas such as Cuba and South America. She played for the Miami Beach (Florida) Belles. Nordquist switched to the AAGPBL’s South Bend Blue Sox in 1954, which would be her last year with the league, as the league dissipated due to the increasing popularity of television, which allowed the public to view men’s baseball games, thus decreasing the need to attend the women’s baseball games. The team finished their season with a record of 48-44. Returned to Malden in the late 1950s After her time with the AAGPL, Nordquist returned to Malden, reuniting with her family. She worked as a switchboard operator while also using her penchant for engineering for her personal projects, such as adding a three-way switch on her stairs and installing a rail for her mother. Another sports opportunity came to her in 1959, when Gardner informed her about a softGURGONE | FROM PAGE 2 cess, it was immediately clear that Lisa was the right fit,” said MVES Board of Directors President Janice Houghton. “We’ve been aware of her work for years and we know she will lead us into a new era.

I’m confident that Lisa will carry on the long legacy of providing the highest level of service and support to Mystic Valley Elder Services’ consumers, staff, donors and volunteers. The Board of Directors and I are excited for the energy and vision she will bring to help the organization work towards meeting our mission.” “I could not be more grateful to accept the position as CEO to this well-established and mission-driven agency that consists of an extremely talented team of professionals,” said Gurgone. “For more than 45 years, Mystic Valley Elder Services has led the way in designing and ball team in Malden, the Malden Collegiates. Nordquist joined the team, achieving great success in the process. She was even featured numerous times in the local news, such as when she attained nine hits and a walk. In the meantime, she also competed in various bowling leagues, earning several trophies for her advanced bowling skills. Nordquist eventually moved to New Hampshire, but she made a triumphant return to Malden on November 23, 2019. Nordquist was one of the Malden athletes chosen to be inducted into the Golden Tornado Hall of Fame. Currently 87 years old, she attended the ceremony to receive the honor. Prior to that, she also attended a reunion hosted by the AAGPBL in which 22 original players were present. This incredibly talented athlete was able to cultivate her skills and her work ethic to create a legacy for herself and for Malden. Nordquist paved the way female sports are viewed at Malden High, especially at a time when the country and the world, did not fully take women’s athletics seriously. There is still a long way to go in today’s world for full equality between women’s and men’s sports. However, Malden provides a bounty of hope as Malden High women are encouraged to participate in athletics, from gym class to actual teams, and there is no doubt that the Golden Tornado superstar, Helen “Nordie” Nordquist, helped shape that reality today. managing home and community-based services available to older adults throughout its 11 communities.

Almost 200 people gathered to pay their respects on this day. Joining in were local clergy, MOA Board members, members of the Malden Opioid Task Force and several elected officials led by Mayor Gary Christenson. Also participating were Fire Chief Bill Sullivan and Police Chief Kevin Molis. Most importantly, families and friends grieving the loss of a loved one were in attendance for the vigil. The night began with a somber and slow walk from the steps of the Jenkins Auditorium at Malden High School around the corner on Ferry Street into the Malden High School Courtyard. There, a respectful silence overcame those in attendance as MOA Board of Directors President Paul Hammersley encouraged friends and families to view the symbolic lit candles and handwritten names of those being remembered. There was no rush to begin the speaking portion of the evening as those in the courtyard looked for their loved one’s name and stood quietly in reflection. One family and their friends gathered in a circle, held hands and prayed. It was just one emotional moment out of many that night. The vigil included guest speakers and concluded with the reading of the names of those being memorialized. In the background, photos of those lost scrolled by on a giant screen. As each name was read, Chief Sullivan rang the Fire Department Bell. The evening ended with singers Scott Best and Andrea Tracey singing “Amazing Grace.” MOA would like to thank everyone who contributed to the event, and it remains committed to erasing the stigma associated with addiction and to bringing resources to those in need of help and support. For more information visit the website https://www.maldenovercomingaddiction.com. Alan Fucci told his story of recovery to the approximately 200 attendees. John Greene spoke on the loss of his son, Evan.
