Steve Ultrino can help fix it. But will he? By Chris Fernandez I n 2019, a bill was brought to the state legislature that would make Massachusetts the 3rd US state to ban child marriage. This bill passed the Senate unanimously. However, in 2021, it is still legal for children, primarily girls, to be married off by their parents in our state. Despite broad popular support from both the public and the MA Senate, the State House sent the bill to committee. It never received an actual vote. Like many other pieces of legislation, the State House is where important bills go to die. The act to ban childhood marriage is far from alone in this experience. In 2011, Rep. Jason Lewis (now Malden’s state senator) introduced a bill to enact a single-payer Medicare For All program for the state of Massachusetts. This bill was sent to study by the State House in 2012. Subsequent versions were sent to study again, in 2014 and 2016. In 2018, it died without action. It still has not come to a vote. Similar fates have been met by important bills on climate change, taxation, abortion, and immigrant rights. Why is this? Why is it so difficult for these critical issues to actually be brought to a vote? Why does it take decades for extremely popular legislation, like codifying abortion protecANGELO’S FULL SERVICE Regular Unleaded $2.819 Mid Unleaded $2.919 Super $3.079 Diesel Fuel $2.999 "42 Years of Excellence!" 1978-2020 KERO $4.65 DEF $3.49 9 Diesel $2.859 9 HEATING OIL 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

Many of these problems can be traced back to the rules of the Massachusetts State House. Each legislative cycle, the House sets their own set of rules for how votes are cast and how their business of government is conducted. Generally, the rules of the previous session are carried forward for the new session, sometimes with very little review or public oversight. These rules are the reason that constituents do not have access to their legislator’s voting record. They are the reason that bills can be quietly shelved, stonewalled, or otherwise delayed, without cause, and without any backlash. The public isn’t allowed to see who is killing these bills, so we cannot ask why, and cannot replace the legislators responsible. In fact, the Massachusetts State House is one of the least transparent in the country. Observing these occurrences for years, sometimes decades, has led to the creation of a joint effort to fight against this cycle of ineffectiveness. The People’s House campaign is proposing three modest reforms to the MA House Rules: • Make all committee votes public • Ensure that bills are made public 72 hours before a vote • Reinstate term limits for the house speaker In December, a team of advocates, including myself, met with our state rep, Steve Ultrino, to explain the importance of these rules updates. Rep. Ultrino was patient and courteous, but not receptive. He stated that while he is happy to always be transparent and will gladly explain how he personally votes on any bill, he cannot speak for other legislators. He told us that he would speak with his colleagues to discuss our concerns. But that is exactly the problem: a single honest representative is not enough to fix a secretive, dysfunctional State House. We need transparency and accountability to be the rule for all state reps, not a privilege that varies between districts and electoral cycles. Given Rep. Ultrino’s personal commitment to transparency, we hoped that he would step up and help lead this effort. Steve Ultrino can help usher in a new era of openness to the State House, where citizens can be better informed, more active participants in our democracy. One of the arguments we’ve heard against these reforms is that they are supported by conservatives. And it is true: Massachusetts conservatives have broadly supported similar efforts to modernize the State House rules. It is important to remember that conservatives are the longstanding minority party in Massachusetts.

Malden Police had to shoot the rabid raccoon which attacked Rose and injured her heel, which required treatment.

The bill, which was cosponsored by Senator Jason Lewis, would upgrade Massachusetts’s egg production law to create predictability and certainty by mirroring the national United Egg Producers cage-free guidelines, which have been adopted by leading retailers, producers and other states. On June 28, the House referred the bill to its Committee on Ways and Means. In 2016, Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly passed what at the time was the strongest law for farm animals in U.S. history, An Act to prevent cruelty to farm animals – known as Question 3. Since then, leading retailers, producers and other states mandated even stronger standards in the shift to cage-free conditions for hens. The legislation passed this year in the Senate, An Act to upgrade hen welfare and establish uniform cagefree standards, updates existing Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order? Do you have an update Will, Health Care Proxy or Power of Attorney? If Not, Please Call for a Free Consultation. 14 Proctor Avenue, Revere (781) 284-5657 state law to meet this new standard. This bill has the support of the animal welfare groups that supported the 2016 ballot question, as well as the support of the leading egg producers in the Commonwealth. “In 2016, the advocacy of animal welfare groups across the Commonwealth and overwhelming support from voters passed Ballot Question 3 to ensure that the factory farming industry provides more humane standards for pigs, calves and egg-laying hens, representing a historic victory for animal welfare,” said Senator Lewis. “Since then, the standard around the country for egg-laying hens has evolved, and Massachusetts is now an outlier, which could threaten our supply of eggs. Fortunately, the egg producers and animal welfare groups have come together to agree on this legislation, ensuring safe and humane conditions for egg-laying hens and affordable eggs for Massachusetts consumers.” “We’re grateful to the Senate for passing the upgrade to the Commonwealth’s farm animal protection law today, and necessary priority.” Upgrading the standards of the 2016 farm animal law would help streamline regulatory and enforcement processes to mirror similar laws in other states. Specifically, these amendments would bring the Massachusetts standard in line with other states by: • Incorporating industry stanJason Lewis State Senator to Senator Lewis for his strong leadership on this bill,” said the Humane Society of the United States’ Massachusetts State Director, Laura Hagen. “The mandate of critical environmental enrichments for chickens, including areas for them to dust bathe, perch, scratch, and lay eggs in nest boxes will improve the lives of millions of these birds.” “We commend the Massachusetts Senate for their vote and Senator Lewis for his leadership on this issue. This is a victory for consumers, common sense and good animal husbandry,” said New England Brown Egg Council General Manager William Bell. “We also thank the Legislature’s Committee on Environment, Natural Resources, and Agriculture and especially the Committee Chairs for giving this bill the dards and animal welfare upgrades passed in other states. This upgrade enacts the standard used by leading food companies and other states and provides detailed cage-free standards, including enrichments that provide hens the ability to engage in vital natural behaviors, such as perching, scratching, dust bathing and laying eggs in a nest. • Ensuring the sales provision covers various types of eggs. As passed in 2016, the law applied to shell eggs, but not egg products. This legislation would also cover egg products, mirroring legislation passed in other states. The bill would also enhance market and regulatory certainty by: • Updating authority for promulgating rules and regulations to include both the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) and the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR). As passed in 2016, the law assigns to the Attorney General exclusive authority to promulgate rules and regulations as well as to enforce the law. This legislation would update the regulatory authority so that it’s shared between AGO and MDAR. (Enforcement authority would remain exclusively with the AGO.) Many states with similar laws include their state department of agriculture in the regulatory process. An Act to upgrade hen welfare and establish uniform cage-free standards is endorsed by the New England Brown Egg Council, The Country Hen (the major egg producer in the Commonwealth), United Egg Producers and the Massachusetts Food Association, which notes that the language in this legislation offers a “readily available solution” to ensure retail-endorsed cage-free standards. The bill also has the support of numerous animal protection organizations, including the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Farm Sanctuary, the Humane Society of the United States, Animal Rescue League of Boston, Animal Equality, Animal Outlook, The Humane League, Harvard Law School Animal Law & Policy Program, Mercy for Animals, Compassion in World Farming, and World Animal Protection – all groups that have been working to increase welfare for farm animals, and egg-laying hens, for decades. ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Sheriff Koutoujian lauds DEA for expanding access to medication for opioid use disorders Dear Editor: COVID-19 is a pandemic that worsened the already existing epidemic of opioid use disorder (OUD). Last year, Massachusetts lost 2,104 people to confirmed and estimated opioid overdoses – more than ever before. It is as critical as ever that we promote and destigmatize treatment, especially medication for opioid use disorders (MOUD). That is why I applaud the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for its new rule allowing methadone providers to include mobile dispensation in their existing registrations. I have worked with federal partners, including the DEA, to ensure methadone regulations are not overly burdensome to jails and houses of corrections that run MOUD programs like ours. This rule will help reentry efforts in jurisdictions across the country, including Middlesex County. It will expand access to methadone in rural areas that lack a brick-and-mortar clinic. That will save lives, especially when combined with behavioral health treatment programs. We need more community-based care in order to strengthen the continuity of our care. Enhancing access to MOUD is key to preventing relapses, which means fewer overdoses and fewer deaths. This rule is a positive step towards more successful recoveries and successful reentries for those that most need our support. Sincerely, Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian ׉ 7cassandra://FGXVbr8g7VPBFlsvGPmnifW0U0spXj8KdLZrietS91k+`̰`n >&e׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 2, 2021 Page 5 ATTACK | FROM PAGE 3 I wasn't quite sure where the raccoon was," said Day, who is blind, in a report. "Laurie was screaming that it was biting her. I just kind of reached down and felt with the pan where it was, and I kind of whacked it four or five times as hard as I could." The efforts by Day were successful in dislodging the raccoon from Rose's heel and the couple went inside and called police. Ptl. Polston arrived and put the raccoon down due to the dangerous situation. Rose was first alerted to the raccoon’s presence Saturday when she heard her chicken, Alice, squawking Saturday evening and decided to go outside to put Alice in her pen. That's when she spotted the raccoon. "It just charged me. I slipped and it grabbed a hold of my heel, and it would not let go," Rose said. Animal Control Officer Alkins warned Malden residents they should never approach a wild animal even in their own backyard and that most of them want nothing to do with humans, anyway. "Almost every wild animal, including raccoons will run away when they see you," he said. If the animal is exhibiting any warning signs such as aggressiveness, residents should call the police as Rose and her husband did. "We had the animal tested at the state level and it did come out positive for rabies," Alkins said. "It was a good team effort with our police and fire departments and EMS," Alkins said. "We all worked together to come out with the best outcome." Alkins said the presence of rabid animals also illustrates the need for precautions of rabies vaccination for residents' pets to safeguard their lives. "All dogs and cats must be vaccinated to protect them. They can't protect themselves." Anyone with animal issues of this nature may call 911 or the Malden Police directly at 781322-1212.

Levine I f you remember Joe & Nemo’s hole-in-the-wall hot dog joint on Main Street across the street from the First Baptist, at the Crossroads of Malden (Ferry, Salem, Main), then you are a Malden old-timer. But the purpose of this piece isn’t to gloat about our old-time Malden bona fides but to give life back to the memory of the best darned hot dog you ever had. Joe & Nemo’s steamed heavenly treats! Let’s start with a little J&N history. J&N started their hot dog legacy in 1909 on the outskirts of the old West End near Scollay Square on Cambridge Street. Joe Merlino and Anthony (Nemo) Caloggero were barbers who decided one day to purchase a bakery not too far away. They soon discovered that they were not very good bakers – instead deciding to pursue the side business of selling hot dogs. A dynasty was born. They developed a formula of just the right proportion of beef and pork, specially ground with a carefully developed combination of seasonings, according to what I have learned. The formula was a tightly kept secret much like the Highland Café pizza recipe that Dave Angelo guards with his very life. The rolls were delivered twice a day hot and uncut from a bakery in Chelsea. In 1925 they expanded the menu (slightly) and the space they occupied. They killed it! Staying open (almost) 24 hours a day, seven days a week, closing for a two-hour period each morning to clean and restock. In the 1950s “Institutions Magazine” found in a study of restaurant businesses that J&N ranked 321st in the country for revenue, outpacing local institutions like Locke-Ober, Durgin-Park and Jimmy’s Harborside. Selling hot dogs! They were the best! The J&N saga continues... when developer/villain to generations of West Enders Jerome Rappaport, with a little Ten-year-old Pam Picillo, her dad Mike and mother “Lal” inside Joe & Nemo’s in the mid-1960s; notice the beautiful J&N sign partially visible hanging in the background above Mike’s head. (Courtesy Photo) help from a few “shortsighted, pig-headed politicians” in power at the time, decided to raze the West End in the name of urban renewal, J&N fell victim. Charles River Park and the new Government Center were born, but millions of dreams were needlessly buried under the rubble of those old tenement streets of the West End. But I digress. At that point J&N had expanded their operation and franchised. From my own memory bank, I can remember the last three J&N’s in the area: At the base of Beacon Hill off Cambridge Street (not the original), North Station across from the “Gahden” and the one located right here in our hometown of Malden. Fast forward to 1971 and my first memory of J&N in Malden Square: I’m 13 and I spend most of my waking hours at Devir Park. When we’re not playing baseball on Bruce Field, we’re playing softball on the diamond closest to the Dalton’s Shell Gas Station on the Fells. Or we’re playing pickup hoops on one of the two basketball courts at the time. Or we’re tackling each other, imitating “Mean Joe” Greene and the rest of the “Steel Curtain” defense from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Anyway, Bert Cioffi’s big brother Cliff is our Park Instructor this summer. He introduces us to the Amerige Park way of life – Devir and Amerige to be forever linked by this one man with more charisma than should be allowed – the guy we affectionately called “Choff.” The girls just adored him and all the guys wanted to be like him. So, I become Cliff’s right hand. He takes me under his wing and instills in me something he lived his whole life by: “keep shooting, you’re bound to get hot.” It’s a hot summer morning (is it just me or were the summers hotter back when we were kids?). I volunteer to help Cliff move something around at his childhood home on Pine Street. (He still lives there, by the way, and he is still moving stuff around.) My reward: Choff’s gonna purchase for me my first “gray t-shirt” at Lee Chisholm’s (Sporting Goods) on Exchange Street and treat me to hot dogs at Joe & Nemo’s in the Square. Best day evah! Choff loads me up with three steamed dogs and a coke. Total cost, 95 cents! The hot dogs were the best I ever had – till this very day. I became a regular throughout high school. Then one day, they were gone. Fast forward many years, I started dating the love of my life (eventually to become my wife), Pam Picillo. Come to find out her uncle Henry (Picillo) owned and operated Malden Square’s J&N until its untimely demise and departure from the Square. Pam’s father, Mike, had two sisters and a brother.

Dear Editor, Over the past few days since the announcement that the Mystic Valley Regional Charter School (MVRCS) has entered into agreements to purchase 3 parcels in the heart of Maplewood Square with the noted intent to expand, scores of Maplewood residents have spontaneously expressed their outrage to us as well as on social media. That outrage has already given rise to a petition to stop the sale and to social media effort to organize against expansion of MVRCS.

As Maplewood residents ourselves, we enjoy being able to dine, shop and meet with friends and neighbors in our neighborhood. The properties involved threaten to impact long-time main stay restaurants including Serena, Panda Castle and Patricks and our local pub Frannys. A school building that eliminates or saps their vitality will essentially make ¼ of Maplewood Square a dead zone at nights and weekends. Residents already complain about the extra traffic congestion and parking mayhem generated during morning and afternoons around MVRCS. ObviSTATE HOUSE | FROM PAGE 2 reforms will make it harder for a single party to quietly behave however they like behind closed doors. For years, this is how the State House has operated. The State House rules vote is coming up in early July. Last week, volunteers from The People’s House campaign met with Rep. Ultrino again. Rep. Ultrino strongly opposed all of our proposed reforms. We asked him why the State House rules couldn’t be brought up to the same level as the State Senate, where all committee votes are public, and he didn’t have an answer. For transparency advocates, this response is both disappointing and frustrating. We fear that the State House as a body is more accountable to Democratic party leadership than it is to the public. In the past year, we have all seen the dangers ously an expansion that would put another 300 students along with staff will further aggravate a bad situation when MVRCS turned what were walkable neighborhood schools into a regional destination. MVRCS students have been major daytime users of Trafton Park, yet when an effort Councillors Camell and Winslow reached out to MVRCS leadership to participate in the planning of Trafton, no one from MVRCS participated. If MVRCS has funds to purchase land, they should be sure to include and build an outdoor play area for students as well to prevent overuse of the playground and field at Trafton. MVRCS notes its core virtues include “the fundamental ideals of our American Culture, which are embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.” MVRCS must not only teach those virtues, it must practice those, by ensuring the people who support this government-funded institution have input in its decisions. We as your local elected officials will be sure to strongly advocate for all residents of Maplewood to have input in the planning of Maplewood Square. Signed, Councillor Stephen Winslow School Committee Member Joseph Gray of weakening democracy for the sake of maintaining power. MA House Democrats should take the initiative to strengthen our democracy, by enacting rules that promote openness, accountability, and trust in our government. Here in Malden, the People’s House campaign has been endorsed unanimously by Our Revolution Malden and the Malden Democratic City Committee. This raises an important question: If the progressives, conservatives, and mainstream Democrats are in unanimous support, what grounds does Rep. Ultrino have to resist these reforms? Bay Staters pride themselves on hailing from the birthplace of modern democracy. I hope that Rep. Ultrino will change his mind, and do his part to honor that legacy.

The dream of opening The Bridge peer-to-peer recovery center in Malden was realized over the last several months after years of advocacy, planning and legislative efforts to secure the funding. The partnership formed between MOA and the Gavin Foundation was forged with the support of Mayor Gary Christenson and State Senator Jason Lewis. BRC is operated and managed by the Gavin Foundation and is funded by the Massachusetts Bureau of Substance Addiction Services. Gavin Foundation President/ CEO John McGahan spoke of The Bridge’s peer-to-peer model as a pathway from “darkness to dignity”. He thanked the Malden Legislative delegation, Mayor Gary Christenson and MOA President Paul Hammersley for their unwavering support and dedication to the project. He also acknowledged the tremendous efforts of the BRC Director, members, volunteers and the BRC crew who run the center. Hammersley, who was the driving and relentless force behind the opening of BRC, credited his sponsor and friend, the late Dom DiSario, as an inspiration and the conscientious leader of the movement to open a center. Hammersley and Mayor Christenson both heaped praise on Malden’s legislative delegation, who were fierce supporters of the project and largely responsible for ensuring that a consistent funding stream was available to open a center. On hand for the ceremony were Senator Lewis, State Representatives Paul Donato and Steve Ultrino and former State Representative and current Melrose Mayor Paul Brodeur. Also participating in the ceremony were Malden Police Chief and Malden Opioid Task Force member Kevin Molis and Pastor Gerry Whetstone of the Nazarene Church in Malden, who is also a member of the Opioid Task Force.

The Baker administration argues that the governor doesn’t need legislative approval on how to spend the money. The Legislature disagrees, and a few weeks ago approved a measure that would segregate the money in a separate fund and give the Legislature control over when and how to spend it. Gov. Baker responded with a compromise that would allow him to unilaterally spend $2.8 billion of the funds in several areas including housing and homeownership, economic development, job training, workforce development, health care and infrastructure. It would give the Legislature the authority to spend the remainder. Last week, on a strictly party line vote, the House 30-130 and the Senate 3-36 rejected the governor’s amendment. Baker’s plan included $300 million for expanded homeownership opportunities, focused on first-time homebuyers who are residents of disproportionately impacted municipalities; $300 million for senior and veteran housing; $100 million for cultural facilities and tourism; $150 million for workforce credentials for entry and mid-level wages; $35 million for English for Speakers of Other Languages programs and Adult Basic Education; $50 million for financially stressed hospitals in disproportionately impacted municipalities; $175 million for addiction treatment and related behavioral health services; $300 million to improve culverts, dams and other environmental infrastructure; $100 million to enhance and modernize state park facilities; and $100 million to close the digital divide and increase broadband internet access. “The Legislature stands firm in its commitment to employing an open, transparent and thorough public process to best understand how we as a state can make smart investments with these one-time federal dollars to address pressing and longterm needs while promoting a just recovery for all areas of the state,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka in a joint statement. “Therefore, the Legislature will be holding a series of public hearings throughout the summer … with the goal of crafting spending plans directly informed by feedback from constituents and stakeholders, including those representing the areas identified by the governor in his proposal. We will continue to seek input from the governor and expect that he will file additional legislation so that his priorities can be part of that process. We invite the Baker administration to testify in these hearings.” “While the administration has proposed working with the Legislature to appropriate all of the funds, the administration also remains concerned about holding up these funds with a process that would take years while the communities that were hit hardest by the pandemic, including communities of color, wait,” said Baker Communications Director Terry MacCormack following the vote. The original bill now goes back to the governor who is likely to veto it. Both the House and Senate seem to have the number of votes necessary to override the veto. (A “Yes” vote is for the governor’s proposal allowing him to spend $2.8 billion of the funds. A “No” vote is against the proposal.) Rep. Paul DonatoNo Rep. Steven Ultrino No Sen. Jason LewisNo LEGISLATURE CONTROL $4.9 BILLION AND BAKER CONTROL $200 MILLION (H 382) House 160-0, approved a new version of the bill determining who controls the COVID federal aid. This version would segregate $4.9 billion in a separate fund and give the Legislature control over when and how to spend that amount while giving the governor control over $200 million. Supporters said that this will give the Legislature control over the vast majority of the funds but allow the governor to respond to any urgent public health and other needs that might require immediate use of the funds prior to the legislative hearings and action. Rep. Daniel Hunt (D-Dorchester), the co-sponsor of the measure, did not respond to numerous attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his proposal. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul DonatoYes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes $200 MILLION FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES (H 3903) House 160-0, approved a bill that includes authorizing $200 million in one-time funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges in cities and towns across the state. The package is a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds. “The … bill is an important one, as every member knows and our municipal partners know, because it is essentially our unrestricted commitment and assistance to municipalities for local road and bridge repair and maintenance projects that they identify at home and know best how to prioritize,” said Rep. William Straus (D-Mattapoisett), House chair of the Transportation Committee. “There's really no equivalent program without strings that’s provided in any other state in the country. It’s something we do. We’re not ahead of the pack; we’re the only one in the pack that provides this kind of assistance to our municipalities.” Massachusetts Municipal Association (MMA) Executive Director Geoff Beckwith said he is relieved that the bill is moving forward and called it a much needed first step. “Communities depend on these funds for critical road repair projects,” said Beckwith. “Ideally, the state will also use a portion of this year's large state surplus to supplement the $200 million bond bill and put more funding on the street, as it has done in past years to move above $200 million in total funding. MMA estimates that the annual cost of getting and maintaining 30,000 miles of municipal roads into a state of good repair is approximately $600 million, and communities don't have the resources to get there themselves.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul DonatoYes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Rep. Donald WongYes DEATH BENEFIT FOR POLICE OFFICERS (S 2480) Senate 40-0, approved an amendment to a current law that gives a line of duty death benefit to a police officer only if he or she is killed in a vehicular accident or because of an assault by another person. The amendment would provide the benefit to any officer on duty who dies at the scene of an emergency regardless of whether the death is the result of a vehicular accident or an assault. The amendment is in response to the recent tragic death of Worcester Police Officer Manny Familia who drowned while heroically trying to save 14-year-old Troy Love who also drowned. If the House approves the bill and the governor signs it, Officer Familia’s family will receive an annual pension equal to the salary had he continued in the position he held at the time of his death. “I filed this legislation because I view it as a common-sense upBHRC | SEE PAGE 22 ׉ 7cassandra://ExHrcaneS8yjlgGKwDgTRca2ieDPZGL13QQ8-f6yJ6Y)w`̰`n >&o׉E!"THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 2, 2021 Page 15 MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6 player for the Bellevue Cadillac), take it from here: “Mike married my mother’s sister Lal, and his sister Millie married my mother’s brother Jimmy. Henry Picillo was the franchise owner, Pam’s actual uncle. It was mostly in the 60’s that I remember that place. Actually, not until I got to high school. A small, narrow place, I used to go there after school or at lunch time. My mother’s sister Sue used to work for Henry, and she used to make us a drink she called a ‘zombie’ (a combination of every flavor soda mixed together.) I remember lots of family there that have passed on since. Great, lifelong memories and the best doggies ever.” Jimmy’s sister Marge (Capone) also was a regular at J&N: “Actually J&N in Malden was run by Pam’s uncle Henry Picillo, her father’s brother. Mike’s sister Catherine was always there working. Henry and Catherine, if I recall, all lived with my uncle Jim in Medford. He married Mike’s other sister Millie. But J&N was the meeting place in the 60’s, my mother would drop us off in the Square on a Saturday, she’d go to Sparks or Jordan Marsh or go to the Washington St home of Mikes and visit his wife Lal (Pam’s mom). We’d go to the Granada then J&N and wait there for her. Henry was a really nice guy. He’d give us a soda cup and let us mix our own soda. A little orange aid, some cola, a little root beer. Then we’d get a hot dog or a burger. If I remember, the burgers were steamed too. Eventually everyone wound up there; Pam, her mother, my mother, brother, and sister – especially if we went to Granada Lanes. My mother loved bowling. Pam has a ton of memories also. But I remember Henry being a real nice guy and Catherine was sweet too.” Yes, indeed, Pam remembers that the family Christmas Eve would be celebrated in the cozy confines of Joe & Nemo’s. Her father Mike’s friends and the whole extended Italian family would gather, lock the door, load the long counter up with an Italian feast, plenty of spirits and celebrate the holy spirit(s?)

She continued: “Every Friday I went to the Malden Public Library then after, I would visit J&N for the giant pickles in the jar on the counter before my ride home on the ‘blue bus.’ Uncle Henry was a soft spoken, unassuming man, complete opposite of my dad (Mike). My Aunt Catherine, who was a spitfire, was always behind the counter with Uncle Henry. Such wonderful family memories.” “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – so, Joe & Nemo’s disappears from Malden Square (and our lives), but a sole survivor remains for a few more years at the bottom of Beacon Hill right off Cambridge Street close to the Red Hat on Bowdoin Street.

(July 2021) – Chelsea Jewish Lifecare (CJL), a highly respected leader in healthcare with campuses in Chelsea and Peabody, announced that it will require all employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19. CJL is a founding member of Legacy Lifecare, a network of nonprofit organizations that also includes JGS Lifecare of Longmeadow, Deutsches Altenheim of West Roxbury, and Elizabeth Seton Residence and Marillac Residence of Wellesley. The network is the first long-term care provider group in Massachusetts to issue a vaccine mandate for its employees. “Our top priority is always the health of our residents and our staff,” said Legacy Lifecare President/CEO Adam Berman. “With over 323 million doses administered in the United States, the COVID-19 vaccines have been proven to be both safe and effective. After consulting with experts and careful consideration, we feel strongly that requiring staff to be vaccinated is the most important action we can do to ensure the safety of our long-term care communities.” CJL and other Legacy Lifecare affiliates plan to implement the mandate once the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) grants final approval of one of the three vaccines. Receiving the COVID-19 vaccine will be a condition of employment for all staff members and volunteers, with exemptions limited to religious and medical reasons. This is consistent with the network’s approach to the flu vaccine. Since last December when vaccines were first made available to health care workers, CJL and Legacy Lifecare have conducted an extensive education ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI21P3207EA Estate of: Evelyn M.

Here are several to help you get started. Where to Retire? If you’re at the beginning of your search, a good starting point is to take the “Find Your Best Place” retirement quiz at Sperling’s Best Places (BestPlaces.net/fybp). This free quiz asks 10-questions on your preferences such as climate, recreation, community size and more, and suggests possible destinations that match your answers. MarketWatch also has a new matchmaking tool called, “Where’s the best place for me to retire?” at MarketWatch.com/graphics/best-place-to-retire/. Media resources like U.S. News & World Report, Kiplinger’s, Forbes and Money Magazine also publish “best places to retire” lists on their websites each year. And be sure you check out Milken’s “Best Cities for Successful Aging” (SuccessfulAging. MilkenInstitute.org), which ranks 381 U.S. metropolitan areas based on factors that are important to older adults. You should also consider getting a copy of “America’s 100 Best Places to Retire” (the sixth edition book; $25 at Amazon. com) that looks at a range of destinations, and groups some in categories like best college towns, mountain towns, undiscovered towns and main street towns. Once you find a few areas that interest you, your next step is research them. Here are some important areas you need to investigate. Cost of Living: Can you afford to live comfortably in the location where you want to retire? Numbeo.com and BestPlaces.net offers tools to compare the cost of living from your current location to where you would like to move. They compare housing costs, food, utilities, transportation and more. Taxes: Some states are more tax friendly than others. If you’re planning to move to another state, Kiplinger’s has a tax guide for retirees at Kiplinger.com/links/retireetaxmap that lets you find and compare taxes state-by-state. It covers income taxes, sales tax, taxes on retirement income; Social Security benefits taxes, property taxes, and inheritance and estate taxes. Crime Rate: To evaluate how safe a community or area is, websites like AreaVibes.com provide crime data for certain localities. Climate: To research the climate in the areas you’re interested in moving, Sperling’s Best Places is again a great resource that offers a climate/weather compare tool BestPlaces.net/climate. Healthcare: Does the area you want to relocate have easy access to good healthcare? To locate and research doctors and hospitals in a new area, use Medicare’s compare tool at Medicare.gov/care-compare. Also see Healthgrades.com, which provides detailed information on U.S. hospitals and doctors. Transportation: If you plan to travel much, or expect frequent visits from your kids or grandkids, convenient access to an airport or train station is a nice advantage. You should also investigate alternative transportation options, since most retirees give up driving in their eighties. To do this visit RidesInSight.org, a free website that provides information about senior transportation options in local communities throughout the U.S. Once you have narrowed your choices down to two or three, spend a couple weeks in each location at different times of the year so you can get a feel for the seasonal weather changes, and so you can carefully weigh the pros and cons of living there. You may find that you like the area more as a vacation spot than as a year-round residence. It’s also a good idea to rent for a year before buying a home or making a commitment to a retirement community. . Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

I n a recent Superior Court case decided on June 1, 2021 (American National Insurance Company vs. Jennifer Breslouf, the Superior court ruled in favor of MassHealth allowing for MassHealth to be the primary beneficiary of a Medicaid annuity contract. Jennifer’s dad Julius Breslouf had purchased the Medicaid annuity in order for his wife to qualify for MassHealth benefits. Pursuant to the annuity application, MassHealth was in fact named the primary beneficiary and Jennifer was named the contingent beneficiary. The annuity provided for monthly payments to Julius based upon his life expectancy. Julius died prior to all of the monthly annuity payments having been made. MassHealth requested that American National Insurance Company make the remaining payments ennioorn rniiori by Jim Miller How to Pick the Best Place to Retire Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I will both be retiring in a few years and are interested in relocating to a warmer climate but could use some help. What resources can you recommend for locating and researching good places to retire in the U.S.? Retiring at 65 RECENT MASSHEALTH SUPERIOR COURT ANNUITY CASE on the policy to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Therefore, American National filed an interpleader action in order to have a court decide to whom the remaining payments were to be made. Jennifer argued that she should receive the remaining payments from the insurance company as her father had never received MassHealth benefits and MassHealth had no right to require it be named as the primary beneficiary on the annuity contract. Julius was never on MassHealth. Only his wife was on MassHealth and she was not the owner of the annuity policy. The annuity beneficiary designation read as follows: “Commonwealth of Massachusetts as remainder beneficiary in the first position for the total amount of medical assistance paid on behalf of the institutionalized individual pursuant to 130CMR520.007(J)(2)”. Jennifer’s argument was that her father is considered to be the institutionalized spouse. Since he was never institutionalized, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts should be entitled to nothing, as no benefits were paid on behalf of him. MassHealth argued that it was implied that the institutionalized individual that the beneficiary designation was referring to was his wife Suzanne. It argued, once Julius died, there was no more need for the monthly income stream to be paid to him. Since the purpose of allowing the Medicaid annuity as a planning tool is not to leave the spouse at home in an impoverished state, the remaining payments on the annuity policy must now be paid to the Commonwealth. MassHealth has been requiring it be named as the primary beneficiary on Medicaid annuity policies. If that is not the case, then the MassHealth application is most often not approved. It was common practice several years ago for the community spouse to simply name his or her children as primary beneficiaries. This is not an acceptable practice any longer. There will be more annuity beneficiary court cases and hearings to follow. Elder law attorneys are advocating for consistency in this area of the law and wish to make sure that MassHealth is following federal law. Joseph D. Cataldo is an Estate Planning/Elder Law Attorney, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a Master’s Degree in Taxation. ׉ 7cassandra://evRcMPNoJOWgqq4XNsiD4kKgoGIf0mXT9LY5F73kQtY(f`̰`n >&s׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 2, 2021 Page 19 MVRCS announces students with honors and high honors T he following Malden students in grades 7-11 achieved honors or high honors at Mystic Valley Regional Charter School for the third quarter of the 20202021 academic year.

Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester) said the amendment will fix an unfair loophole. “I am thankful that this amendment will ensure that the family of Officer Familia can access the benefits of his pension after he lost his life trying to save another,” Chandler said. “I am grateful for Officer Familia’s service to the City of Worcester, and I keep his family in my thoughts and prayers.” “This crucial legislation was sadly necessitated by the tragic death of Worcester Police Officer Manny Familia … [who] died protecting his community, and we need to make sure we do our part to recognize his sacrifice,” said Sen.

Jason Lewis Yes 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 June 2125, the House met for a total of ten hours and 14 minutes while the Senate met for a total of two hours and 54 minutes. Mon. June 21 House 11:02 a.m. to 11:19 a.m. Senate 11:13 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. Tues. June 22 House 11:01 a.m. to 4:58 p.m. No Senate session Wed. June 23 No House session No Senate session Thurs.
