T
he Malden City Council waded
into international “waters”
for the fi rst time in recent
memory at Tuesday night’s regular
meeting. The members also
weighed in on a statewide issue,
acting on a request from a Malden-based
community organization.
The result was the passage
of a pair of City Council resolutions,
both centered on human
rights issues.
One of the resolutions came
following a request from the
Zonta of Malden organization.
Following an appearance by a
representative of Zonta during
the public comment section and
some additional remarks from
Ward 3 Councillor Amanda Linehan
and others, the City Council
voted unanimously, 10-0, to approve
the following:
Resolve: That we, the Malden
City Council strongly condemn
Malden's only local news source for over 30 years!

the abusive practice of child

that we indicate our support
for state-level legislation
currently under consideration
to ban legal marriage in Massachusetts,
for the protection of
human rights, dignity, and opportunity
for all young people,
especially young women who
are disproportionately impacted
by child marriage laws.
In a second vote, one of the
few times the City Council has
offi cially weighed in on a national/international
issue, the Councillors
voted, 8-2, to support the
following: BE IT RESOLVED, That

Malden High’s 82nd Annual Junior Varieties show
was a ‘MARVEL-ous’ success
Class of 2023’s signature event entertained big audiences in Jenkins Auditorium this past weekend

High alumni recall the annual
Junior Varieties show as one of
their fondest memories. Whether
they participated directly in
the show or took it in as part of
the audience, the performances
of their classmates stay with
them for years to come.
For the 82nd year, one of the
longest-running, continuous
high school variety shows in the
nation did not disappoint, with
two well-attended shows on Friday
and Saturday evenings jampacked
with an eclectic mix of
talent. The planning and delivery
of the performances went
so well that even “Loki” could
not deter the “MARVEL-ous”
success of the Class of 2023’s,
whose theme was centered on
the Marvel comics and characters.
The show featured a mix of
vocalists – both solos and duets
– along with dance troupes and
soloists, pianists and the incomparable
MHS Step Team.
“It was a big success; everyone
worked very hard to help make
it a great weekend,” said MHS
Class of 2023 Advisor Michael
Lightbody, a longtime MHS Social
Studies teacher and himself
a 1986 MHS alumnus.
“Junior Varieties never lets you
down! The performers were incredible.
The audience was excited.
Mike Lightbody and Jim
Valente and the junior class
knocked it out of the park,” said
MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo.
“It was awesome to see the
auditorium fi lled with our students
participating in an 82 year
tradition at MHS.”
The show is dubbed “Junior
Varieties” because the hosts of
the annual event is the “reigning”
junior class at MHS, which
is continually fundraising in its
four years at the school, with
the ultimate goal being to lessen
the cost of the Senior Prom
for the members of the Class of
2023. Junior Varieties is the biggest
one-event fundraiser for
the junior class; its revenue usually
represents a substantial portion
of the over $20,000 the class
aims to raise in the course of its

Metro Boston Aging and Disability
Resource Consortium receives grant to
promote COVID-19 booster vaccinations
M
etro Boston Aging and Disability
Resource Consortium
(ADRC), of which Mystic
Valley Elder Services is a member,
was recently awarded a
grant from the Administration
for Community Living to promote
COVID-19 booster vaccinations
to the populations
they serve. The Metro Boston
ADRC comprises community
organizations that support older
adults, persons with disabilities
and their caregivers: Mystic
Valley Elder Services, the Boston
Center for Independent Living,
Minuteman Senior Services,
Somerville Cambridge Elder Services
and Springwell.
“The Metro Boston Aging and
Disability Resource Consortium
agencies have been at the forefront
of supporting communities
through the pandemic and
view the opportunity to promote
vaccine participation as an
extension of our ongoing work,”
said Metro Boston ADRC Coordinator
Hilary Viola. “Boosters are a
critical tool to help mitigate the
risk of COVID transmission and
serious illness.”
The grant-funded campaign
“Get Boosted Boston” includes
direct mail, print advertisements
and online resources through a
comprehensive website, GetBoostedBoston.org,
all of which
provide multiple options on
how to make vaccine booster
appointments. The information
is available in multiple languages
and provides links to find local
appointments via Vaxfinder
and pop-up mobile clinics online.
If access to the internet is
a problem, there is the phone
alternative of calling 211, and
if someone is unable to leave
their home, they may call (833)
983-0485 to arrange an in-home
booster.
The Massachusetts Executive
Office of Elder Affairs has praised
the Metro Boston ADRC and
their partners in helping older
adults gain access to vaccines
and boosters, stating that their
efforts “propelled Massachusetts
to be amongst the highest
vaccinated states in the country.”
Now that almost 1.4 million
adults aged 60 and above in the
Commonwealth are eligible for
a COVID-19 vaccination booster,
the Metro Boston ADRC’s work
in promoting and facilitating
access to COVID-19 vaccination
and booster doses is vital to protect
those they serve, as well as
the overall population.

D
espite the inclement weather,
nearly 1,000 runners from
across the state and region recently
gathered in front of City
Hall to compete in the second

5 Mile Road Race on March 13. A
total of 943 runners took part in
this year’s event. Within that figure,
493 competitors ran the Half

get to from Boston,” he said. “I
really loved it; the atmosphere
was amazing and there were so
many runners and spectators

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 18, 2022
Sen. Lewis joins colleagues to pass oversight reforms
for veterans’ homes in wake of COVID-19 tragedy
O
n March 10, 2022, State Senator
Jason Lewis joined his
Senate colleagues to unanimously
pass legislation to increase
public oversight over the administration
of state-operated veterans’
homes in Holyoke and Chelsea.
To improve safety and transparency
at the veterans’ homes,
the bill mandates restructuring
the chain of command to more
closely match established administrative
practices used in
hospitals and other large organizations.
This legislation follows
continued scrutiny of administrative
and other failures at the Soldiers’
Home in Holyoke that led
to the tragic deaths of 77 veterans
during the early days of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our veterans and their families
have made many sacrifi ces
to serve and protect our nation,
and it is unconscionable that so
many veterans lost their lives
due to inadequate health and
safety protocols at the Holyoke
veterans’ home,” said Lewis. “I’m
hopeful that this legislation will
lead to the reforms and necessary
oversight to ensure that
a tragedy like this never happens
again and that our veterans’
homes provide the highest
quality care to their residents.”

Now’s the time
to schedule those
home improvement
projects you’ve been
dreaming about
all winter!
Jason Lewis
State Senator
This comprehensive reform
bill is designed to increase the
safety of residents of veterans’
homes in the Commonwealth.
A new, full-time ombudsperson
would receive, investigate and
assist in resolving complaints
related to the health, well-being
and rights of veterans’ homes’
residents and staff . To eff ectively
aid these eff orts, a public hotline
would be created for residents
and staff to direct concerns.
The bill would also task
the Department of Public Health
(DPH) with regularly inspecting
the homes; all inspection reports
would be made publicly
available, excluding identifying
information of patients and
staff . Veterans’ homes would be
required to be licensed as longterm
care facilities by DPH and
adhere to the same standards
and regulations.
This bill would also:
• Give the authority to appoint
a superintendent for each of the
veterans’ homes to the Executive
Director of the Offi ce of Veterans’
Homes and Housing.
• Create a statewide Massachusetts
Veterans’ Homes Advisory
Council – tasked with recommending
policies to the Secretary
of Veterans Services – as
well as Regional Councils, which
would be tasked with representing
the interests of the local
community, residents and
family members at each veterans’
home.
• Require each veterans’ home
to have a full-time specialist in infection
control and emergency
preparedness and to adhere to
medically sound guidelines for
trauma-informed care, including
best practices for the treatment
of post-traumatic stress disorder
and suicide prevention.
• Remove existing procedural
hurdles which make it harder
to donate operating supplies,
clothing, medical equipment,
personal hygiene products and
holiday gifts to veterans’ homes.
• Require state-operated veterans’
homes to accept Medicare
and Medicaid payments.
• Provide mental health resources
to employees of
state-operated veterans’ homes
who worked during the pandemic.
•
Create a commission to rename
the Soldiers’ Homes in
Chelsea and Holyoke after specifi
c Massachusetts veterans.
• Establish March 21 as Veterans’
Homes Remembrance
Day, to honor the veterans who
lost their lives due to the tragic
COVID-19 outbreaks at veterans’
homes.
Since a version of An Act relative
to the governance, structure
and care of veterans at
the Commonwealth’s veterans’
homes was previously (February
10, 2022) passed (156-1) by the
Massachusetts House of Representatives,
a conference committee
will be appointed to resolve
diff erences between the
Senate and House versions of
the bill, and then the Legislature
will send its fi nal bill to Governor
Charlie Baker for his signature or
other action(s).
MassHealth expands long-term care coverage for immigrants
A
s of November 1, 2021,
thousands of immigrants
are now eligible for long-term
care coverage under MassHealth,
the state’s Medicaid program.
This new policy is an expansion
of MassHealth Family
Assistance to cover longterm
services and supports
for elderly and disabled immigrants.
The new guidelines entitle
qualifi ed immigrants to receive
long-term care and supports
in a skilled nursing facility
or in the community, including
limited access to home care
and other programs covered
by Standard MassHealth. This
change will also ensure that
MassHealth Family Assistance
enrollees have access to the resources
they need to transition
from acute hospitals to other
settings, including back to their
own homes.
Prior to this policy change,
hundreds of immigrants remained
longer than needed
in Massachusetts hospitals because
of immigration-related
barriers to long-term care coverage.
Please
call Mystic Valley Elder
Services at 781-324-7705 to
learn more about this change
and determine whether or not
you or a loved one is eligible for
enhanced supports through this
coverage expansion.

Local business owner says ‘Yes’ to Malden High
Senior Class... on ‘Promposal Day’!

to Boston Park Plaza on Prom Night

T
hey could not have scripted
it any better.
On National “Promposal Day”
– no less – a generous, longtime
Malden business owner once
again stepped to the fore in supporting
those in need. This time
it was the Malden High School
Senior Class of 2022, which has
been beset by more than its fair
share of setbacks related to the
calamity of COVID-19.
Well-known throughout his
11 years-plus in office of “keeping
his ear to the ground,” Malden
Mayor Gary Christenson
caught wind of a financial dilemma
faced by the Malden High
School Senior Class of 2022 in
planning perhaps the most special
of all high school students’
traditional events: Senior Prom.
The Mayor learned from fifthyear
Malden High Principal Chris
Mastrangelo that there was a
“good news-bad news” element
to this year’s prom planning.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 18, 2022
Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday – reintroducing Paul Donato
By Peter F. Levine
S
tate Representative Paul Donato
is straight out of Compton,
oops, I mean Medford. But
make no mistake; he is one of
Malden’s best friends. Has been
since “goodness knows when”
(Three Stooges catchphrase).
He knows all the local characters.
He knows the landscape.
He knows the fl ava from Robinson’s
News to John Brewer’s Tavern.
And he knows where all the
best restaurants are (and where
a few bodies are buried – I kid)!
In all seriousness, when it comes
to doing the right thing, Mr. Donato
checks off all the correct
boxes. Constituents he reps in
Malden and our Thanksgiving
Day archrival, Meff a, voted him
in year after year after year because
he is always on the right
side of the issue. Renewable energy?
Check. Keeping children
safe? Check. Fighting for veterans?
Check. Adores puppies?
Check. Loves long walks at sunset
on Revere Beach. Check!
This election Paul would give
his right arm to continue to
serve the good folks of Malden
and Medford. You know him
as a public servant who always
fi ghts the good fi ght. Let’s get
to know Paul the person, just a
little bit. You wanted the best!?
You got the best! Ten questions
for the hardest working man in
show biz...
1. Where would you most like
Law Offices of
Terrence W.
Kennedy
512 Broadway, Everett
• Criminal Defense
• Personal Injury
• Medical Malpractice
Tel: (617) 387-9809
Cell: (617) 308-8178

to buy a one-way ticket to? Sicily.
2. What person, alive or dead,
would you like to eat dinner
with? Abraham Lincoln.
3. What’s one song to play to
put yourself in a good mood?
“It’s Impossible” by Perry Como.
4. What is the one piece of advice
that most changed your
life? Be true to yourself.
5. What one piece of advice
would you give your younger
self? Reach for the stars.
6. What’s the one thing that
keeps you motivated? Being
able to help people.
7. What’s the one thing you
want to be remembered for?
Helping to improve the lives of
children in the foster care system.
8.
Malden is a small, vibrant
community with, by any stanState
Representative Paul Donato channels his inner Miles Davis.

dard of measurement, a bright
future. You’ve represented Malden
for a long time. Through
good times and bad. With the
infl ux of new restaurants, new
residents, a forward-looking
administration in City Hall led
by Mayor Christenson and his
staff , the removal of the city hall
building/police station and the
ongoing “transit-oriented development”
centered around the
Orange Line – what is your vision
of Malden and the downtown
area, in say, five years?
And how would you continue
to spur growth in Malden? I’m
really excited about what’s happening
in Malden, especially
downtown. I foresee additional
residential and business development,
as well as many new
restaurant opportunities. My vision
is to upgrade and rehabilitate
the Malden Train Station to
accommodate those who will
take advantage of the indicated
opportunities. In addition,
I’m excited for my ability to assist
the city in acquiring the old
Malden Courthouse that hopefully
will be transformed into an
Arts and Cultural Center.
9. Malden has long been
known for its outstanding
restaurants, delis and bakeries.
What was your go-to place
in the past? What is your go-to
place today? My old go-to was
Pasta Market and my current favorite
is All Seasons Table.
10. What one thing would
people be surprised to learn
about you? I spent eight years
in two foster homes as a foster
child.
You are a longtime Maldonian
if you remember…
When Malden had two movie
theaters (The Strand & Granada);
you’re an even longer resident
if you remember when we
had three.
When the Malden River ran
under Charles Street along Canal
and could be openly viewed
behind the Granada Theatre in
all its trash strewn pre-EPA polluted
glory.
When you could make it from
your home in Edgeworth to the
Square (substitute your section
of Malden here) without hitting
a light if you knew which side
streets to take; try that today.
When Freddie’s Market on
Pearl Street was a thriving neighborhood
Italian Deli before the
corporate giants came in and altered
a way of life.
When Mr. Carroll (our very
patient meteorology teacher
at Malden High School) would
have you deposit all illegal or
banned substances on his desk
before you departed for the restrooms.
When
basketball players
would be lined up 30 deep at
the YMCA on a Wednesday
night for the next game.
When the DPW fl ooded Devir
Park in the winter and most
of the best hockey players in the
city (and the state for that matter)
would play deep into the
night; players such as the Matty
& Mike Marden, Frankie & Mike
Hanley, Joey & Peter Mayne, and
the Surette brothers Steve, Dave
and John.
When the Settemio brothers
Billy & Dommy took ownership
of the Stadium Café sometime in
the late 70s (now home to John
Brewer’s Tavern) and had their
incredibly successful and very
popular “Three Stooges Nights.”
When then manager of the
Augustine Athletics of the Intercity
League Steve Ring got
involved in a disagreement with
some of the youngsters from
the Bandstand and was pig
piled right there on the pitcher’s
mound at Devir Park as bat

Urban Media Arts presents gallery reception and short
screening of “Voice of the Malden River” on March 26
A
group of Malden students
collaborated with Urban Media
Arts (UMA) and Malden River
Works to create a Photo-Narrative
project sharing pictures
and refl ections of the Malden
River. Photos taken by the students
and interns are on display
at Gallery UMA through April 4.
On March 26, from 3:00 p.m.3:30
p.m., there will be a tour of
the gallery at UMA (145 Pleasant
St. in Malden). This will be
followed by a screening of related
short fi lms and a follow-up
discussion from 3:30 p.m.-4:30
p.m., which will be held nearby
– at the Malden Senior Center (7
Washington St.). Food and beverages
will be provided during
the discussion/Q&A. There will
also be an additional chance to
view the gallery following the
screening, from 4:30– 5:00 p.m.
Media arts meets environmental
activism at this eye-catching
and inspiring event.
Tickets are donation based
and can be reserved through
Eventbrite-https://www.
eventbrite.com/e/voice-ofthe-malden-river-gallery-reception-and-screening-tickets-294036349637.
This
project came out of ongoing
programming with Malden
students. Over the spring
and summer of 2021, students
from Malden Catholic and Malden
High participated in cleaning
up and documenting the
land surrounding the Malden
River. From these programs,
they created the Photo-Narrative
project and series of short
films that will be on view on
March 26.
On April 21, 2021, the students
did a river cleanup at River’s
Edge park in Medford while
simultaneously capturing video
and imagery to create a PSA
project titled “Be a Role Model!
Protect the Malden River!”
to spread the word about the
excessive plastic debris that is
carelessly dumped into the river.
With Karen Buck doubling
as their tour guide and teacher,
the students witnessed the
leaking trash boom that was
placed in the river to stop some,
yet not all, of the ultimate damage
done. They also interviewed
and fi lmed Matt Preotle of Preotle,
Lane and Associates to learn
about the development at River’s
Edge!

initiated a deportation
policy under a public health
law that restricts immigration
at the United States-Mexican
border based on an invocation

42”) in confl ict with U.S. constitutional
law and
international law; and
WHEREAS, The Biden Administration
has continued the immigration
policies of the Trump
Administration, further ramping
up deportations, leading
to mass expulsions of Haitians
under Title 42; and
WHEREAS Haitian migrants
are unable to make claims for
asylum as required under U.S.
law and international law. Consequently,
the actions of the
Biden administration are contrary
to U.S. and international
laws against returning migrants
to persecution and torture;
and
WHEREAS, In early September
2021, images revealed the
inhumane treatment of Haitian
migrants at the hands of
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
agents who, mounted
on horseback, used the
hides of their whips to violently
chase Haitian migrants, a
cruel reminder of slavery and
the anti-Blackness embedded
in this country’s immigration
policy; and
WHEREAS, On September
24, 2021, Haitian community
leaders in Boston organized a
protest in front of the John F.
Kennedy federal building denouncing
the deportations of
Haitian migrants and the inhumane
treatment by border offi -
cials. Many local and state offi -
cials joined in this protest; and
WHEREAS, The deportations
under Title 42 have only escalated,

deporting nearly 14,000 Haitian
migrants since September
2021, totaling more than
17,000 Haitian migrants deported
to Haiti since the beginning

from human rights groups,
public health officials, elected
offi cials, and asylum advocates;

forced to return to a Haiti rife
with political, social, and economic
instability and are often
at a greater risk of kidnappings,
abuse, and violence.
The United States government
recognizes the risk in Haiti as
the State Department’s Level
4 travel advisory to U.S. citizens
currently states, “Do not
travel to Haiti due to kidnapping,
crime, civil unrest, and
COVID-19:” and
WHEREAS, The City of Malden
has long welcomed immigrants
from many nations his
city – whether fl eeing persecution
or terror, escaping gender-based
violence, seeking
reunion with family members,
or pursuing economic opportunity;
and
WHEREAS, This country has
a legal and moral obligation
under its founding principles,
its own laws, and international
laws and treaties, to receive
migrants in distress in search
of relief and refuge, thus measures
restricting access to asylum
must not be allowed to become
entrenched under the
pretense of public health; and
WHEREAS President Biden
has expressed his commitment
to reverse Trump-era immigration
policies and build a humane
immigration system; and
WHEREAS, We have an obligation
as a City Council to ensure
that we have a government
and a community committed
to justice and dignity
for all people, including Haitian
migrants seeking refuge;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,
That the Malden City Council
calls for the federal government
to reverse the Title 42
determination and immediately
halt the deportation of
Haitian migrants, thereby allowing
them to seek due process
through our legal system
to make claims for legal status.

Text of Malden City Council resolution condemning
the abusive practice of child marriage in Mass.
R
Thousands of Haitian migrants are among the many seeking
asylum in the United States across the Mexican border, but are
being blocked by Title 42 regulations.
esolve: That we the Malden
City Council strongly condemn
the abusive practice of
child marriage in Massachusetts.
Further, that we indicate
our support for state-level legislation
currently under consideration
to ban legal marriage in
Massachusetts, for the protection
of human rights, dignity,
and opportunity for all young
people, especially young women
who are disproportionately
impacted by child marriage
laws.
WHEREAS forced child marriage
constitutes a violation of
a minor child’s rights and dignity;
and
WHEREAS the United States
Pictured from left to right: Malden City Councillors Chris Simonelli
(Ward 7) and Amanda Linehan (Ward 3) both voted in favor of
both City Council resolutions passed on Tuesday – condemning
child marriage in Massachusetts and supporting Haitians’ U.S.
asylum application rights.
the resolution during the public
comment segment of the
City Council meeting. “Each of
you have pledged to protect
children in the course of your
responsibilities as City Councillors,”
said Luong, herself a candidate
for City Council in November’s
election. “In the past year
a 12-year-old and a 13-year-old
girl have been married to older
men and in Massachusetts alone
55 girls age 15 or younger were
married to older men.”
Luong asked the councillors to
support the resolve on Tuesday’s
docket and for them and their
ward and citywide constituents
to contact State Representatives
Steven Ultrino (D-Malden), Paul
Donato (D-Malden, Medford)
and Kate Lipper-Garabedian
D-Malden, Melrose, Wakefi eld)
as well as State Senator Jason
Lewis (D-5th Middlesex) to express
their condemnation of the
child marriage practice.
Zonta International active
against child marriage
worldwide since 2014
Zonta International, to which
the Zonta Club of Malden belongs,
has supported ending
child marriage since 2014, contributing
$2 million to delay early
marriage in Niger from 20142018.
From 2018-2020, Zonta
contributed 2 million to the UNFPA-UNICEF
Global Program to
End Child Marriage – the fi rst private-sector
donor to the Global
Program.
“It’s amazing this [child marriage]
is still happening. This
would have been inappropriate
100 years ago – let alone today,”
Ward 6 Councillor Stephen
Winslow said. “To have young
girls 12 or 13 being forced into
marriage is simply abuse.”
Before the unanimous vote
was taken in favor of the resolution,
the other six councillors, in
addition to the original sponsors
– Councillors Linehan, Winslow,
Colón Hayes (at-Large) and Ryan
O’Malley (Ward 4) – all signed on
as cosponsors.
McDonald: movement to
rescind Title 42 growing
regionally, nationally
Councillor McDonald said the
resolution he cosponsored with
Councillor Colón Hayes – calling
for the ceasing of federal
deportations of Haitians at the
U.S.-Mexico border by denying
application for asylum – is “a big
issue with the Haitian community
[in Malden].”
According to the last U.S. Census
in 2020, of Malden’s total
population of 66,352, approximately
9,350 residents are Black
(14.1%) and over 30% (over
3,000) are of Haitian descent.
Councillor McDonald said
there is a growing movement
both regionally and statewide
to get behind a push toward
the administration of President
Joe Biden to rescind the Title 42
regulation, which originated
under former President Donald
Trump, which denies Haitians
at the Mexico and Texas border
the opportunity to seek/apply
for asylum in the United States.

by the U.S. government of
persons who have recently been
in a country where a communicable
disease was present. The

rights abuse; and

During the COVID-19 pandemic,
the Trump Administration used
this provision (section 265) to
generally block land entry for
many migrants, particularly a
sulting in more than 1,200 children
as young as 13 married in
the Commonwealth between
2000 and 2018 – 83% of them
to adult men; and
WHEREAS child marriage increases
the risk of domestic violence
and poverty, and undermines
a child’s access to healthcare,
education, and opportunity;
and
WHEREAS minors who are
married cannot obtain abuse
prevention orders, seek help
from DCF or domestic violence
shelters, enter into a legal contract
or retain an attorney, or
even fi le for their own divorce
or annulment; and
WHEREAS child marriage petitions
have continued throughout
the pandemic, and Massachusetts
has no residency requirement
for out-of-state petitioners,
resulting in our status
as a ‘destination’ for those seeking
child marriages.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED THAT THE
MALDEN CITY COUNCIL:
1. Condemns the abusive
practice of child marriage in
Massachusetts.
2. Stands with women’s right
organizations, including Zonta
International, and elected
leaders across the country, including
our own local legislative
delegation, who are working
to end the harmful and archaic
practice of child marriage;
3. Supports statewide legislation
that would ban child marriage

Stop the Stigma Day a huge success
Special to The Advocate
O
n Wednesday, March 9, 2022,
Malden Overcoming Addiction
(MOA) held their annual
Stop the Stigma Day, which
originated in 2016. A new organization
at the time, MOA, under
the guidance of President Paul
Hammersley started the awareness
day with the goal of putting
an end to the stigma surrounding
substance use disorders.
This year MOA brought the
“Stop the Stigma Day” into
all the Malden Public Schools
and the local private schools,
Cheverus and Malden Catholic.
In some schools students
made posters and signs supporting
the elimination of stigma.
All the schools made time
for guest speaker Dana Brown,
who asked all students and staff
for their support in ending the
stigma attached to addiction.
Students and staff across the
schools wore blue ribbons provided
by MOA.
Using social media as a platform,
community activists, first
responders, citizens and nonprofit
groups across Malden promoted
the day with the hashtag
#Maldenstopthestigma. Many
posted pictures showed the
blue ribbons they wore to support
the cause.
MOA is a community partner
whose mission is to connect
the community with addiction
support and recovery
services, remove the stigma of
addiction and fight to eliminate
overdose fatalities in Malden
and surrounding communities.
The annual MOA “Stop the
Stigma Day” is about “leveraging
the collective power of Malden’s
community to bring attention
to the stigma surrounding
addiction.” The stigma associated
with drug addiction prevents
many from seeking the help,
whether emotionally or physically,
that they require.
Students at the Cheverus School supported Stop the Stigma Day.
Linden School students created
Stop the Stigma paperwork
and ribbons.
Dana Brown picked one of the
students to speak on Stop the
Stigma Day at the Cheverus
School.
Students at the Ferryway School supported Stop the Stigma Day.

Paul Hammersley along with MOA board
members Mindy Tam, PJ Bell and Dana Brown

Golden Tornadoes Swimming Banquet named
all-stars, awarded senior class gifts
By Tara Vocino
T
he Malden High School Varsity
Swimming Golden Tornadoes
held their banquet at
the high school’s gallery last
Thursday night. They named
Greater Boston League (GBL)
All-Stars, gave each other informal
awards and presented senior
class gifts. Head Coach Jessica
Bisson said the best way to
describe a season impacted by
the COVID-19 pandemic is: “Your
hardest times often lead to the
greatest moments of your life.”
All-Stars were the top scorers
in the GBL all season.
The undefeated Malden High School Golden Tornadoes swimmers took a team photo.

Outgoing captains welcomed new captains: Abby Tang,
Tony Giech, incoming captain Liam Bloom, incoming
captain Nathan Nguyen, Molly Sewell and Sarah Oliveira.
Tony Giech, who did a 100-yard
breaststroke in 1:04.23 and Hailey
Tran, who did the breaststroke in
1:16.05, were the top two seasonal
swimmers on the team. Giech
competed at Boston University.

~ LEGAL NOTICE ~
COMBINED NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT &
NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS
March 18, 2022
City of Malden
215 Pleasant Street
Malden, MA 02148
This notice shall satisfy two (2) separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Malden.
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or about April 11, 2022 the City of Malden will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the
release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended,
to undertake a project to be known as Roosevelt Park Improvement Project at 529 Salem Street, Malden, Massachusetts 02148. The project involves
the reconstruction of an existing multi-use field with a new multi-use synthetic turf field and related improvements, including: improved field and
site drainage; earthwork including removal and proper disposal of urban fill beneath the athletic field; site grading that will improve surface runoff
and protect against the loss of flood storage; the replacement of portions of the municipal and site storm drain systems that run under the field; an
improved outdoor classroom; and other miscellaneous site improvements including basketball shooting areas, new ADA compliant walks, site
fencing, seat walls, shade trees, and landscaping. The project anticipates $1.2 million in City of Malden CDBG funds through the Section 108
program. Other anticipated funding includes $1.7 million in local Community Preservation Act funds, and $660,000 from a Bayrd Foundation Grant,
with other local funds potentially being sought in the event of a funding gap. The total estimated project cost is approximately $3.56 million.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The City of Malden has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental
Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the
Environmental Review Record (ERR) and is available for review upon request at the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development,
Malden City Hall, 215 Pleasant Street, Third Floor, Malden, MA 02148 or online at: https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/environmental-review/
environmental-review-records. Please submit your request to review the ERR through an alternative method to the Office of Strategic Planning and
Community Development at info@maldenredevelopment.com.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on this activity may submit written comments on the
ERR to the City of Malden. All comments received by the deadline will be considered prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of
funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing (e.g. “Roosevelt Park Improvement Project”).
Written comments must be received by the City of Malden or the Malden Redevelopment Authority on or before April 4, 2022. Comments may be
submitted to info@maldenredevelopment.com or delivered by mail or in person to the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development,
215 Pleasant Street, Third Floor, Malden, MA 02148, RE: Roosevelt Park Environmental Review. City Hall is open 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday,
Wednesday, and Thursday; 8:00am to 7:00pm on Tuesday; and closed on Fridays.
RELEASE OF FUNDS
The City of Malden certifies to HUD that Gary Christenson, in his capacity as Mayor of Malden, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal
Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been
satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the City of
Malden to use HUD program funds for the purpose specified.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and the Responsible Entity (RE)’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated
submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not
executed by the Certifying Officer of the name of RE; (b) the RE has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD
regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or
undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD/State; or (d) another Federal agency acting
pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.
Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to
Office of CPD - HUD at the following email address: Bosenvironmental@hud.gov. Potential objectors should contact HUD office to verify the

substance use services to members
of our community in crisis.”
The Restoration Center Commission
was established under
2018’s Act Relative to Criminal
Justice Reform and was tasked
with studying and making recommendations
for the creation
of a crisis diversion facility
in Middlesex County. The new
center would provide an alternative
to arrest or emergency
room transport for individuals
in need of behavioral health services.
Through a no wrong door
policy, both walk-in services as
well as police drop-off would be
available at the center.
“Once established, the Middlesex
County Restoration Center
will serve as a shining model
for what behavioral health
crisis services and wrap-around
support can look like across the
Commonwealth,” said Congresswoman
Trahan. “I’m proud to
have secured over $1.6 million
in federal funding for this critical
project — bringing the Center
one step closer to becoming
reality. I look forward to working
with Sheriff Koutoujian, Dr.
Mauch and our local partners
to get this project across the finish
line.”
“I fought hard alongside Congresswoman
Lori Trahan and
Senator Ed Markey for federal
funding to establish a crisis
diversion facility in Middlesex
County, and I'm glad we secured
$1.65 million for those efforts,”
said Senator Warren. “These
funds will be critical to expanding
mental health and substance
use services for members
of our community. I’m grateful
for the continued partnership
with Sheriff Koutoujian and Dr.
Danna Mauch to combat the
substance use disorder crisis.”

on connecting people in crisis
with mental health and substance
use services, instead of
putting them in the back of a
police cruiser,” said Senator Markey.
“With this investment, we
can bring behaviorial healthcare
to the Commonwealth and get
people the help that they need
in a more supportive setting.”
The commission also recently
announced it had secured $5
million in ARPA funding through
the state legislature funding
thanks to the work of State Senator
Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington)
and State Representative
Ken Gordon (D-Bedford). Additionally,
Governor Charlie Baker
included $1 million in his proposed
Fiscal Year 2023 budget
for the project.
“It is very exciting to see federal
money appropriated that
will make a direct impact on
the Middlesex County community,”
said Senator Friedman. “An
enormous thank you to our federal
delegation and to my colleagues
on the Middlesex County
Restoration Center Commission
for bringing a mix of federal
and state funding to the table to
help make the Middlesex County
Restoration Center a reality.”
“I’m deeply grateful to our
partners in Congress for prioritizing
the Middlesex County
Restoration Center,” said Representative
Gordon. “This additional
funding will be crucial as
the Commission continues its
work to transform behavioral
health services in our communities.
The investment underscores
the importance of the
goal we share with our federal,
state, and local partners.”

Can’t Get Up
Dear Can’t,
Yes, Medicare does indeed provide some coverage for lift
chairs, provided your doctor prescribes it for a medical reason,
but they won’t cover the entire cost of the chair. Medicare will
only pay for the motorized lifting mechanism, which is considered
durable medical equipment (DME), and is covered under
Part B. The other parts of the chair – the frame, cushioning, and
upholstery – are not covered. Here are a few more details you
should know.
What Is a Lift Chair?
First, for those who aren’t familiar with them, lift chairs, which
look like traditional recliners, have motorized lift mechanisms
built in that aid with standing up and sitting down for people
with limited mobility. With the push of a button, a lift chair hoists
a person from sitting to a position where they can comfortably
stand up. It also works in reverse to help a person gently take a
sitting position.
Medicare Coverage Requirements
If you’re a Medicare benefi ciary, to fi nd out if you qualify for
coverage, you’ll need to get a prescription and a “Certifi cate of
Medical Necessity” from your doctor that indicates your need for
a lift chair. The conditions you’ll need to meet include:
• That you have severe arthritis of the hip or knee, or a severe
neuromuscular disease.
• That you can’t stand up on your own from a regular chair.
• Once standing, you can walk independently or with the aid
of a walker or cane.
• That you do not reside within a skilled nursing facility, hospice
or nursing home facility.
You’ll also need to purchase your lift chair from an equipment
supplier that’s enrolled in Medicare. To fi nd and compare Medicare
approved suppliers in your area go to Medicare.gov/medical-equipment-suppliers,
type in your Zip code and “Seat Lift
Mechanisms” in the equipment box.
If you do qualify, Medicare will pay 80 percent of the approved
cost of the chair’s motorized lifting mechanism, after you’ve met
your Part B annual deductible. You, or your Medigap supplemental
policy (if you have one), will pay the remaining 20 percent of
the lift mechanism. You will also pay 100 percent of the remaining
cost of the chair.
You should also be aware that if you do buy your lift chair
from a Medicare supplier, you will likely pay for the total cost
of the chair upfront and can then seek reimbursement from
Medicare. Lift chairs can run anywhere from $400 to $2,000 or
more depending on the fabric, options and upgrades. The reimbursement
is usually between $250 and $300 depending on
the state you live in.
Advantage Coverage
If you happen to get your Medicare benefi ts through a private
Medicare Advantage plan, they too provide lift chair coverage,
but they may impose diff erent rules and will likely require you
to see an in-network supplier. You’ll need to contact your plan
directly for details.
Other Helpful Options
If you fi nd that Medicare won’t cover your lift chair or if you’re
looking for something less expensive, there are assistive products
you can add to your current furniture like the Stander EZ
Stand-N-Go (Stander.com, $140), which has adjustable support
handles that can be used on any sofa or recliner to help with sitting
down and standing up.
Another way to make your furniture more accessible is by increasing
its height with “furniture risers.” These typically range
from 2 to 5 inches in height and are inserted under the legs of
your furniture. Costs range from a few dollars up to $50 or more
and can be purchased at retail stores like Walmart and Target,
or online at Amazon.com.

You’re a longtime Maldonian
if you remember the day
when you confronted a bully
face to face. The days when they
did not hide behind a keyboard.
The shameless and cowardly

that is so ubiquitous on some
Malden based social media sites
is troubling, to say the least.
“This is the end, beautiful
friend, this is the end, my only
friend, the end.” My father, Soloman
Levine, grew up hard on
the streets of the West End of
Boston, a self-taught man who
had street smarts and may have
actually written the book on
street smarts. Utilizing these
street smarts when his three
oldest boys came of age, there
were two truths that he held
close to his heart (truths that I
will be forever grateful for): My
boys will not play football and
they will not go to Vietnam.
Thank you, pops, for the courage
of foresight and hindsight.
My dad wore his Star of David
proudly right up until that day
last year when he passed on.
(Hopefully, his long-awaited
and hoped for reunion with his
father, Herschel, was realized.)
A voracious reader, he had a
saying after scanning the obituaries;
noticing the passing of
yet another lantzman, he’d say
to nobody in particular, “We
lost another friend today.” With
that said, dad, we lost a couple
of friends today; rest in peace,

However, her desire to compete
could no longer be suppressed
and Stephenson was
compelled enter the Half Marathon.
“With cold temperatures
and high gusts of wind, it was
definitely a challenging race,”
she said. “It really became a
mental game to know I trained
in snow and cold the past couple
months and could similarly
perform in this weather.”
However, Stephenson said
there was plenty of motivation
along the way. “The race was five
loops, which allowed runners
to constantly be surrounded by
other runners,” said Stephenson.
“It helped knowing others were
tackling the same race and battling
the same weather conditions.
Staying close to downtown
for the race also allowed
a good amount of spectators
to come and cheer runners on.”

espite growing vaccination
rates, which have allowed
mask mandates to be
rolled back, the fact remains that
COVID-19 is still out there.
“The number of cases per day
is still in the hundreds,” said Dr.
Robert Klugman of UMass Memorial
Hospital. “We are not yet
fully out of the woods. The BA.2
variant is on the march and
may cause a signifi cant bump
in cases.”
Klugman also said 54 percent
of the state’s 7.1 million residents
have received booster
shots and that 5.4 million residents
are fully vaccinated. Nationally,
he said, the vaccination
rate is nearly 90 percent.
However, the vaccines have
proven to be more eff ective in
terms of controlling the severity
of the virus rather than preventing
it.
In addition, Klugman called
attention to the global population.
“If we look at the outbreak
in China and other poorly vaccinated
countries, we know there
will continue to be outbreaks
and also new variants to contend
with,” he said.
With masking and social distancing
becoming more relaxed,
Klugman said, the chances
of contracting COVID-19 will
now be determined by a person’s
level of exposure. “Outdoors

MHS Prom planned
for May 27 at Boston
Park Plaza
The Senior Class leaders are
planning on hosting an exciting,
traditional social highlight of their
high school years at the venerable
Boston Park Plaza Hotel ballroom
on Friday, May 27. However,
a potential roadblock constructed
of dollar signs seriously
threatened plans for this most
magical of nights. For practical
and safety reasons, it has been
determined that all prom-going
students must be transported
by privately hired buses on the
9.1-mile trip from Malden High
School to the prom site at Boston
Park Plaza. The night’s agenda is
that prom-goers participate in
the pre-prom “Red Carpet” highlight
at Malden High at 4:30 p.m.,
then travel to the prom venue for
photos, dinner and dancing beginning
at 7:00 p.m.
The cost of that transportation
item quickly arose as a bona
fi de “budget-buster” for the evening’s
events. According to Principal
Mastrangelo, the estimate
was in the neighborhood of
$5,000. Mastrangelo told The
Advocate this fi gure would have
made the cost of prom tickets
for the MHS couples soar astronomically,
most likely putting

Massachusetts are falling, cases
are rising elsewhere in the
world,” he said. “As long as there
are new infections, there is the
possibility of new strains emerging
and spreading.”
Chow also refl ected on what he
and his colleagues have learned
during the past two years. “We
now have precedent for rapidly
developing vaccines using the
mRNA platform and the ability
to create PCR [polymerase chain
reaction] tests,” he said. “It’s certainly
possible to respond faster
to these situations with the technology
we have now.”
However, Chow said burnout
rates have hit record high
levels among healthcare workers.
“First and foremost, we are
constantly reminded that the
healthcare system runs on people,”
he said. “These people do
not have infi nite capacity to take
on more work.”
In addition, Chow said pandemic
prevention will be a challenging
endeavor. “Bringing a local
epidemic under control and
preventing it from becoming a
pandemic depends on early detection,”
he said. “It’s much harder
to do these when it’s a completely
new infectious disease
and we don’t have treatments
we know to be eff ective.”
Dr. Sabrina Assoumou, an infectious
diseases physician at
Boston Medical Center, said
Massachusetts continues to
move “in the right direction.”
However, the same cannot be
said for countries overseas. “If
we’ve learned one lesson about
this pandemic, it’s that we’re all
connected,” she said.
Assoumou also spoke about
the importance of having proactive
leadership. “Leadership
matters; it’s so important when
you’re dealing with a pandemic,”
she said. “You can lose control
very quickly.”
MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo described the rough road the

the past two years of COVID-19.
the price out of reach for some.
Mayor Christenson soon learned
of this money problem and mentioned
it during his regular directors’
meeting late last week.
Mayor: ‘One phone call...
and the issue was solved’
“It took one phone call,” the
Mayor told The Advocate Tuesday,
“and the issue was solved.”
Malden Facilities Director Eric
Rubin contacted Town Line Luxury
Lanes/Mixx360 Nightlife of
Malden owner Anthony DeCotis
and told him about the shortfall
in the Senior Class of 2022’s
budget. DeCotis immediately
agreed to donate the generous
sum of $5,000 to cover the cost
of the prom buses. MHS Prom
Night was absolutely a go!
“Once again, Anthony DeCotis
stepped up to help some
Malden citizens in need,” Mayor
Christenson told a group of
Malden High students and Malden
Public Schools administrators
who met with the Town

Mayor’s Offi ce on Tuesday afternoon.
“That is the type of business

“Isn’t this a federal issue?”
asked Councillor Condon. “We’re
the Malden City Council. Where
does this go if we vote for this?
What would this solve?”
Councillor McDonald responded,
“Alone? This would
aff ect nothing at all. We want to
send this to our federal lawmakers
(Congresswoman Katherine
Clark, U.S. Senators Ed Markey
and Elizabeth Warren) as part of
an aligned strategy.”
Condon: ‘I’m not in
favor of open borders’
“I understand it’s a problem,
but we shouldn’t be allowing
anyone into the country who
is not prepared to go on a direct
route for citizenship. Everyone
should be vetted,” Councillor
Condon said.
“Some of those people who
are trying to cross the borders
in Mexico, I hope they aren’t allowed
in this country,” Councillor
Condon added. “I’m not in
favor of open borders and I’m
not in favor of accepting everyone
into this country. That’s why
you vet people.”
Ward 6 Councillor Stephen
Winslow diff ered. “We should remove
this unnecessary barrier for
allowing Haitians into this country,”
he said. “Here in Malden we
welcomed thousands of Haitians
into our city and our schools after
the [2010] Haitian earthquake.
“Here in Malden, the Haitian
people who have come here
have been a wonderful addition
to our population,” Councillor
Winslow said.
“There is a really powerful case
being made from the Haitian
community aff ected to support
this,” said Councillor Linehan.
“There has been a misapplication
of public health data. They
can’t make the case this [denying
asylum applications] is tied
to the pandemic anymore.”
O’Malley: ‘They’re
not asking for special
treatment’
“These people aren’t asking
for special treatment,” Councillor
O’Malley said, in support of
the resolution. “All they’re asking
for is a return to U.S. and international
law as it was applied
before the pandemic.”
Ward 7 Councillor Chris Simonelli
asked if the Malden-based
resolution could be amended to
include all people seeking asylum,
not just Haitians. Councillor
McDonald agreed to do so.
City Council President Spadafora
said he was not in favor of the
resolution because “We’re not out
of COVID yet. Basically, this resolution
is having us tell the federal
government, ‘We don’t believe
your [public health] data.”
“I believe in asylum... but I believe
in scientifi c data and I believe
in public health. I am not
against people from Haiti – or
a lot of other places around the
world – trying to enter the country,
but I do not support going
against a federal law designed
to protect public health,” Councillor
Spadafora added.
The resolution passed, 8-2,
with Councillors McDonald,
Linehan, Winslow and O’Malley
joined by Councillors Peg Crowe
(Ward 1), Barbara Murphy (Ward
5), Simonelli and Jadeane Sica
(Ward 8) voting in favor, with
Condon and Spadafora voting

helping make these kids’ dream
come true, of having a wonderful
Prom in a fantastic venue,”
Mastrangelo told all in attendance
on Tuesday. “These
members of the Senior Class
have gone through so much
and missed a lot during the
COVID-19 pandemic of the past
two years.”
Fundraising for
Senior Class of 2022
took a big hit during
COVID-19 pandemic
Mastrangelo noted that the
continuous fundraising eff orts
of the Class of 2022 – nearly all
of which are geared toward lowering
the cost of the Senior Prom
– “really took a big hit during
the pandemic, since there was
such a lack of opportunities
for so long of a time for holding
any live fundraising events.”
Mastrangelo also noted a compelling
point regarding the Senior
Class of 2022: They are the
only Class at Malden High that
has gone a full year of in-person
learning, due to the changes
to remote learning during the
pandemic, as it was during their
freshman year, 2018-19.
“We really had to struggle to
raise every dollar possible, but
these students learned a lot
about life – and how to deal with
adversity,” Class Advisor Dan Jurkowski
said Tuesday.
Several of the students on
hand, including Class Officer
Sami Nie and Tony Giech,
thanked DeCotis for his generous
donation: a $5,000 check he presented
at Tuesday’s gathering.
For his part, the Town Line
Luxury Lanes owner said he was
happy to help the Malden High
seniors with their prom costs,
considering what they have
gone through during the pandemic.
“I have three children
myself and have seen fi rsthand
what you all have gone through
with remote learning, in school
some time and out of school
other times,” DeCotis told the
MHS students and personnel
who gathered on Tuesday.
He also noted that times had
been tough as a business owner,
like so many others locally and
around the world, with shutdowns
and other obstacles for
the past two years. “We have all
gone through so much, but we
have to be ready to help each
other,” said DeCotis, who has become
well-known locally for his
generous support of individuals
and groups for many years
through his business, which is
located at 665 Broadway (Route
99) in Malden.
“I am happy that you will be
able to have a special night for
the Prom in May,” he told the students.
“You all deserve to make
those memories you’ll never
forget.”
