The National Honor Society has chapters in all 50 states, the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.), all U.S. territories and possessions (including Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands) and in American schools in more than 40 foreign countries.

Society in the charter year, 1921. The first attempt to form a national high school academic honors organization were initiated at the 1919 annual convention of the National Association of Secondary School Principals in Chicago. The fi rst chapter of the new society was chartered in 1921 at the Fifth Avenue High School in Pittsburgh, Pa., the school at which Edward Rynearson, considered the father and founder of NHS, was principal. Malden is believed to have been perhaps the fi rst Massachusetts high school to obtain an NHS charter, when it initiated the John W. Hutchins Chapter at Malden High School. By 1922, Massachusetts had added 14 new NHS Chapters. Each year since, Malden High School’s National Honor Society has selected new members, often the selections being made after requesting recommendations from MHS educators and other staff after worthy students whose academic grades met the established criteria were nominated. Formal inductions then follow at a later date. For the remainder of this school year, the new NHS selectees will be required to participate in both NHS group and individual community and civic service projects, some assigned and others planned individually. Typical service projects include tutoring programs for underclassmen, reading development for elementary students, fundraising for local or national charities, blood drives, serving meals at local food banks and servicing the needs of the elderly in the community. In addition, selectees are required to maintain the high level of academic performance that earned them acceptance, in addition to continuing to exhibit high character as school citizens. “We are extremely proud of our new National Honor Society selectees and we thank NHS advisor Paul Marques for his continued service in guiding our top academic association at Malden High School,” MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo said. “He [Marques] does a tremendous job in accepting recommendations of students from our staff and then guiding their service projects after selections,” Mastrangelo added. “These students and Mr. Marques are a credit to our school community.” Following are the newest National Honor Society selectees from Malden High School: Orit Abel Belen Quispe Almendro Yonglin Chen Shawn Chen Ryan Coggswell Giselle Dessert Nicholas Duggan Dante Federico Victoria Gammon Larissa Retamero Granja Danielle Harrington Kyle Huang Saia Hussain Abdullah Khan Ada Li Jessica Li Keira Lin Erica Littlejohn Thalia Louigene Christina Mui Lily Nguyen Daniel O’Toole Ilyes Ouldsaada Guertternnensje Pierre Rene Emma Strano Hailey Tran Isabelle Tan ׉ 7cassandra://CbvZo97YKd2TWO5BMkKsco9xVw7B7ADoQX7zrp-TOz4.`̰e!fK6׉E THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 29, 2023 Page 5 Library presents outdoor family Movie HOUSING | FROM PAGE 2 Night in the Park at River’s Edge J oin us for a “Movie Night in the Park at River’s Edge” on Thursday, October 5.

This initiative was initiated by the Malden Public Library and further supported by a generous grant from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) through the Sustainable Materials Recovery Grant program. The Library of Things concept is simple but revolutionary: Instead of buying and owning rarely used items, residents of Malden may now check them out with just a library card, encouraging a culture of reuse and resourcefulness. This innovative library extension promotes sustainability and provides residents access to an array of items they might need for various projects and activities. One prime example of how the Library of Things can help eliminate waste is the availability of a sewing machine. While sewing machines are incredibly useful for specifi c projects and help the environment in their own right, they often collect dust in the back of closets when not in use. By borrowing a sewing machine from the Library of Items from the Library of Things are available to loan to adult Malden residents with a library card in good standing. Each item can go out for two weeks at a time and cannot be renewed. Patrons can borrow a maximum of two items at a time. Holds must be placed one day prior to picking up the item. When borrowing an item for the fi rst time, patrons will be asked to sign a borrower’s agreement and waiver regarding use of items in the Library of Things. To place a hold, pick up an item, or for any questions, please visit or call the information desk. For a full list of items, or more information, visit https://maldenpubliclibrary.org/services/ library-of-things/ Information Librarian and Library of Things Project Coordinator Katie Walsh with Mayor Gary Christenson (photo courtesy of the City of Malden) Things, residents can complete their projects (ideally repairing clothing instead of throwing it out) without the need for longterm ownership, ultimately reducing clutter and environmental impact. Mayor Gary Christenson, who has been an advocate for sustainable initiatives in Malden, was there to experience this new service fi rsthand. “The Library of Things is a solid addition to our community, aligning perfectly with our goals of promoting sustainability and reducing waste,” he commented. “This resource will undoubtedly make a positive impact on the lives of Malden residents and the environment.” The Sustainable Materials Recovery Grant from MassDEP has been instrumental in making the Library of Things a reality. This grant program provides funding to municipalities to support initiatives that maximize reuse, recycling and waste reduction, furthering Massachusetts’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The Library of Things off ers a diverse catalog of items beyond sewing machines: audio/visual Items, outdoor recreation, crafting, music, home improvement, technology and more. The service aims to make life in Malden more convenient and sustainable while fostering a sense of community.

At $15 per hour, Massachusetts now has one of the highest state minimum wages in the nation. Some state legislators want to make it even higher – as soon as possible – due to the high cost of living and inflation concerns here. On Tuesday, a familiar voice led a renewed call to hike the minimum wage in the Commonwealth, as State Senator Jason Lewis (D-5th Middlesex) urged lawmakers to back a push to raise the pay rate even higher, this time to $20 per hour by 2027. Additionally, a joint legislative contingent seeks to tie even further future minimum wage hikes over $20 per hour, indexing more hourly raises down the road to increase in the inflation rate. “We need to raise the minimum wage again,” Senator Lewis, one of the bill’s primary sponMalden State Senator Jason Lewis (D-5th Middlesex) is one of the chief sponsors of a proposal before state legislatures to raise the Massachusetts minimum wage – already one of the highest in the U.S. at $15 per hour – to $20 per hour by 2027. sors, told the committee Tuesday. “Nobody expected that we would be seeing close to double digit inflation. That level of inflation has really eaten into the real earnings that our residents are taking home.” The cost of living in Massachusetts continues to soar higher than in most other states in the New England and the Northeast, supporters of higher wages claim. In Massachusetts, increases in recent years that have nearly doubled the minimum wage from $8 to $15 per hour since 2014 have not kept up with record high inflation and the Commonwealth’s rising cost of living, higher pay backers say. Those who have historically been against the minimum wage hikes, primarily critics who operate Massachusetts businesses, claim another substantial hike such as this would hurt employers in several ways, cause layoffs and generally impact the state’s economy adversely. A recent report released by the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) estimates the new Massachusetts wage hike plan would cost an estimated 23,000 jobs – or 0.5% of the state’s employment base – many of them among small business owners. In an online “ TWENTIES”: $20 PER HOUR: The Massachusetts Legislature’s Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce De v elopment hear d testimony on Tuesday on a new proposal by Malden State Senator Jason Lewis (D-5th Middlesex) to raise the Massachusetts minimum wage to $20 per hour by 2027. report, Chris Carlozzi, NFIB’s Massachusetts state director, said the report shows “now is not the time” to raise the minimum wage floor to $20. He added that such a move “would hurt small businesses and consumers.” “Raising the base wage to $20 is not only unsustainable for Massachusetts employers who are already raising compensation to counteract the state’s labor shortage and attract workers into the workforce,” Carlozzi said. “These types of one-sizefits-all mandates hurt smaller, Main Street businesses that cannot absorb the cost the most.” Massachusetts has one of the highest state minimum wages in the nation, which rose to $15 per hour in January under a 2018 agreement between lawmakers, worker advocates and the business community. The wage has increased nearly every year since 2014, when it was $8 an hour. The minimum hike wage proposal also calls for raising the state’s sub-minimum “cash wage” at restaurants and bars from $6.75 per hour to $12 per hour by 2027. Cash wages allow employers to meet their minimum wage obligation for tipped workers using a credit for customer tips.

September 9 was a rescheduled date from a rainy day in June. “It’s a totally free event usually done before summer vacation so kids have books, but we got rained out,” member Lisa Mendelson said. The annual giveaways were started seven years ago by past and incoming President Robin Jorgenson. “I was trying to think of a way to get books to kids in a way we could afford,” she remembers. “People don’t like to throw away books. They want to pass them on to people who will use them and there’s evidence if kids own books they do better in school. It had to be free; every child is equal here. It makes it pleasant for the families. They don’t have to pay.” “We want to give books to kids who want and need them,” Fitzgerald added. “The focus is to improve the lives of children and their literacy by putting books in the hands of kids that otherwise might not be able to afford them.” “Children’s books are expensive,” Kiwanis Board of Directors member Danielle Hender pointed out. “The giveaways get books out to children whose families may not be able to afford them.” Books are collected through the schools, and those not taken often end up in neighborMalden Kiwanis group with Mayor Gary Christenson.

State Representative, Malden Kiwanian, part time Suffolk and Salem State University professor and former Malden Catholic High School teacher Steven Ultrino called the giveaway “an extremely important event for the Malden Community. As an educator, I firmly believe that anytime you can place a book in the hand of a child, and in many instances, their family, you are giving them a gift of a lifetime. A book allows the child to learn, dream, think outside the box, and virtually travel to destinations where some have never been.

I just love hearing from readers (or as Bullwinkle would say, “fan mail from some flounder?”), especially those with stories to share. As noted in the past, I feel it’s imperative that as a community we try our best to keep the past alive – to preserve tales of yesterday before they are lost to time. Bill Mini was famous for his Malden of yesteryear recall. We are a better place today because of gentlemen like Bill and John O’Brien and Don Squires – no longer with us – but who left a paper trail of our collective past to look back on proudly. It is vital for us to remember our history – that is why whenever the opportunity arose, I sat and listened to Joe Croken, Richie Cremone, Karen Anderson, Walter Mullaney and Jim Conway. That is why whenever the opportunity arises, I sit intently and listen to Barbara Tolstrup, Johnny Brandano, Neal Anderson, Bob Rotondi, Jack Garrity, “Butch” Gennetti, Dom Fermano, Arthur Kahn and Eddie Lucey. They visually connect me to a longgone time and place, a place inaccessible but for those that lived it. With that said, Aaron Mintz (and his brother Mayer) have been reaching out to share tales from outside of Edgeworth (is there such a place?)! A foreign land called Suffolk Square was their stampin’ ground and their history is a fascinating snapshot of a city and a neighborhood with a rich history. Have at it my friend! “A Malden Rock n Roll Reminiscence by Aaron Mintz”: “My brother Mayer introduced me to Rock n Roll in the mid 1950’s We listened to DJs like Arnie Ginsburg on WBOS and Ken Malden on WILD. Ken Malden was really Milton Tokson - he preferred being on the radio to plucking chickens at his family’s poultry store in Suffolk Square.” “WHIL was Malden’s own station with studios in Malden Square where Mayer bought records at Roli Music. As president of the local ‘Bill Haley and Comets Fan Club,’ Mayer won tickets to see a preview showing of ‘Rock Around the Clock’ at the Colonial Theatre in Boston in March,1956. My mother and I went with him and took in the excitement. “As the 1950’s ended, Mayer’s pal Norman Greenbaum - Legal Notice - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 Docket No. MI23D2314DR DIVORCE SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION AND MAILING JACIENE C.

Norman tuned his guitar in a unique way and began to write songs, which he sang in our living room on Harvard St. Norman went to BU after he and Mayer graduated MHS in 1960, and Norman worked for Arnie Ginsburg now on WMEX. “I was still immersed in Rock n Roll and at Malden High, circa 1962, our lunchroom was Malden Square. Every Thursday I raced to Moe’s Smoke Shop to buy the latest Billboard Magazine. Instead of learning Latin grammar, I devoured the top 100 hits of the week. In the summer of 1962, I walked Revere Beach with Norman polling teenage beachgoers. Arnie Ginsburg had given Norman a list of new records, and Norman’s job was to find out which ones were liked. Meeting girls was a bonus. “High school friend Bob Prodanas lived near Jack Coughlin in Malden, and Bob and I got to hear Jack play rockabilly and boogie woogie styled versions of vintage Hank Williams and Jerry Lee Lewis songs on an old upright piano. I’ll never forget how good a young Preacher Jack sounded - what a talent! His music evoked that early rock and roll sound my brother and I heard as kids. “Later in the 1960’s, I saw Jack play at a bar in Everett Square. Mayer saw him at a North Shore club and in the mid 1970’s, I heard Preacher Jack play at the Inman Square Men’s Bar in Cambridge. I would always make the Malden connection with Jack, and he would smile. “Norman Greenbaum had moved to California and formed Dr. West’s Medicine Show and Junk Band, and Norman’s song ‘The Eggplant that Ate Chicago’ was a big Boston hit late in 1966. Mayer saw the group at the Frolic on Revere Beach, and I heard Albert Spadafora Beer Garden screaming, “last call for alcohol!!” • Saint Rocco is placed in the “Preacher Jack” at the Inman Square Men’s Bar in Cambridge circa 1984 (Henry Horenstein photo) them at the Unicorn on Boylston Street in Boston. The band had painted faces, avant-garde clothing, and psychedelic lyrics. Seeing the band was a look into the future of Rock and Roll. ‘Spirit in the Sky’ followed 3 years later. “I did an oldies show on Western Mass. radio stations for 20+ years and always played Preacher Jack to great response. The Ames Bros, Preacher Jack, and Norman Greenbaum made for a great 3 song set...all Malden artists.” To be continued... It is said in “Malden Musings”... • We had so much fun at San Rock Festa 2023! Combine a killer musical lineup with Mother Nature at her finest, fuhgeddaboudit, as we say down in Edgeworth! The dance band WildFire just lit up Saturday night! We’ve had big crowds in the recent past – Al Martino at the 75th and Midtown Men at the 90th come quickly to mind – but Kenny and his extremely talented band of merrymakers just might have topped the list for a non-anniversary year! Total pros – they had San Rock pilgrims dancing, eating and drinking right up to the witching hour of 11, when we could hear Franny and Mary in the middle of Pearl Street during the Feast. Pilgrims pin money to the Rock to help raise funds for the cause and are rewarded with a San Rocco pinback and the knowledge that they have helped fund worthy scholarship applicants and to keep this thing of ours funded for yet another year. Usually there is a volunteer working the Saint: collecting money and handing out pins. In the last few years, it has been Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe doing the Lord’s work and hanging all weekend with the Saint. This year Mayor Gary Christenson took Friday night duty, and Peg took the reins for Saturday night. Word trickling down from the powers that be tell us that Mayor Christenson’s debut was a smashing success, raising much gelt along with many photo ops! Peg’s work during the Feast is legendary. We thank you both for all that you do. • A passing of the torch of sorts...four-year-old Nolan Ryan Edwards (with little sister Kennedy watching) was gently lifted by Billy “Papa” Settemio so he could place a wreath of donations on the Saint as it stopped in front of the Italian American Citizens’ Club before the Sunday afternoon Procession. Nolan’s grandmother Michelle looked on proudly. Not a dry eye on Pearl Street. • My sincerest condolences go out to Eddie and the whole Casaletto family on the recent passing of the patriarch of the family, Joe “Chubby” Casaletto, at age 89. “What we have once enjoyed we can never lose.

Not only did Malden High football (0-3) sustain its third straight entry in the loss column to start the season, the Tornados also lost the services of one of their key players for the remainder of the season. Down 21-6 in the second quarter, Malden two-way lineman and starting offensive center Christian Cassion went down in a heap after making a block. It did not look good from the get-go for the 5-11, 295-lb. junior and Malden's worst fears were confirmed later at the hospital when Cassion was ruled to have a dislocated and fractured ankle, requiring surgery that was scheduled to be performed this week. "It is a tough loss for sure," said Malden High third-year head coach Witche Exilhomme, who saw his sixth offensive starter get knocked out of the game and sidelined since the season started. "He (Cassion) had worked hard in the offseason to be prepared to win a starting position and that's exactly what he did. "It's been an extremely long year already with all of our injuries, but we have to pull together, face this adversity and respond. Our schedule goes on, regardless of our hardships," Coach Exilhomme said. Malden is also down four or five starters on the defensive side of the ball due to injuries and a combination of a lack of experience and some plain old bad luck added up to a rough start for the Tornados. They never really recovered. It was the home opener for Malden after two straight road losses to start the season and combination of great, early auCHEERING SQUAD— The Malden High football cheerleaders did a great job pepping up the crowd Friday night. Above, they are performing at halftime on the Macdonald Stadium field. tumn weather and a decent home crowd looked like it would spark the Tornados to a big night. Alvirne, which is in Hudson, N.H.threw a blanket on that aspiring fire early on, as the Broncos used a methodical running game to eat up both yards and clock time on their way to a quick, 14-0 lead after the first quarter. Alvirne running back Aiden Mills ran for 116 yards and two touchdowns to help Alvirne lift its record to 2-2 overall (1-2 New Hampshire Interscholastic AA). The Broncos received a 1-yard TD run from Sean Boudreau, a 16yard TD run from Jonavan Santana and also scored when Cam Porter recovered a fumble in the end zone. Malden fell behind 14-0 after the first quarter and was down, 21-0, before junior quarterback Aidan Brett hooked up with senior Gabriel Vargas Cardoso for a 40-yard touchdown pass across the middle. Alvirne managed another touchdown before halftime to go ahead 29-6. Down 36-6 in the fourth quarter Malden scored its final points when freshman quarterback Ryan Bowdridge threw a 23-yard TD pass to Cardoso, the Tornado senior's third touchdown catch of the season and Bowdridge's second scoring pass of the year. Another highlight of the game TWO TDS FOR GABRIEL— Malden High 6-5 senior split end Gabriel Vargas Cardoso leads the way onto the field for the Tornados and also led Malden on the field with two touchdown catches of 40 and 23 yards, his first multiple TD-scoring game of his career.

That dream is now being realized with the construction of Bread of Life’s new home at 54 Eastern Ave. in Malden. Tom dedicated his life to making the world a better place through spreading peace and adding color. He did this through his devotion to his extended family, to feeding the hungry, and for more than 50 years, to protesting against war, violence, racism and social injustice and advocating in support of peace, social justice, the homeless and anyone in need.

Sponsorship opportunities MASSACHUSETTS TAX RELIEF BILL T he most recent tax relief bill could become law if Governor Maura Healey signs off on it on Friday, September 29th. This bill is long overdue. It will take some time to digest some of the key provisions in the bill, especially the estate tax provisions. Some of the key elements in the bill thus far include: Increasing the rental deduction from $3,000 to $4,000. Unfortunately, that only results in a tax savings per tax return of $50. The senior circuit breaker tax credit would increase from $1,200 to $2,400. This is substantial as a tax credit is much more meaningful than a deduction. It is a reduction dollar for dollar in the total tax once calculated. Either your balance due will be reduced by $2,400 or your refund will be increased by $2,400. For those 65 years of age or older who would not otherwise be required to file a tax return, this new bill is even more of an incentive to file. The income tax rate on short-term capital gains will decrease from 12% to 8.5%. I was hoping for that rate to drop to 5%, which is the tax rate levied against all ordinary income including W-2 income, interest income, dividend income, etc. However, if someone has a $100,000 short-term capital gain on the sale of real estate or stock, that would be a savings of $3,500. That is a considerable savings. The estate tax exemption will be increasing from $1million to $2million. Furthermore, only the gross taxable estate over $2million will be subject to tax. Under the current estate tax provisions, once an estate is over $1million, the entire $1million is subject to tax. The $2million threshold will now exempt many estates from the estate tax. I wish Massachusetts had adopted portability. This would have eliminated the need for many families to be put in a position to implement more complicated estate planning with the use of Trusts in order to maximize a married couple’s estate tax exemptions. With portability, if a husband died, his $2million exemption could be passed along to his wife so that when she subsequently dies with a $4million estate, no estate tax would be due. She would be entitled to her $2million exemption and her deceased husband’s $2million exemption. This would be so much easier for so many married couples. This would also have served to encourage more affluent married couples to continue to live in Massachusetts rather than move to another state that has no estate tax. They would continue to spend money in Massachusetts and employ workers to help propel the economy. The federal government adopted portability years ago. It’s hard to imagine that Massachusetts is only going to increase the renters deduction to $4,000. That number is arrived at by taking one half of $8,000, when rent payment for one year can easily reach $30,000. Even a $15,000 rent deduction only saves $750 in Massachusetts income taxes. We’ll digest the bill when finalized and report back on the key provisions. Joseph D.

One street separated us growing up but that was as close as we were. I could toss a baseball at his home on Watts from mine on Charles. But we never played ball together. Our mothers were closer. My mother just adored Alice. The feeling was mutual. I traveled one road. Harry traveled his. I have always respected him and that life journey. We would run into each other from time to time. Quickly catch up on life. That was the extent of our relationship. When I ran into him last week in the parking lot of Stop & Shop, time stood still. It had been years since we last saw each other. We recognized one another immediately. Even with masks pulled up tight. We exchanged pleasantries as friends of 55 plus years will do. We took that road as far as we could. When he told me of his mom’s passing, I glanced down. I was caught by surprise. I knew how much she meant to him. What they meant to each other. I was speechless. I tried to find some words. My first instinct was to let him know that he wasn’t alone, to assure him that I understood his hurt. I flirted with trying to comfort him by letting him know that time will heal this great loss. These sentiments seemed trite. Instead, silence. I expressed my condolences, muttered something banal like ‘gotta get back to work Harry, great to see you and I am very sorry for your loss.’ His pain, his grief, her death left him alone in the world. His loss, so real. Too real. I had no words for that.” —Peter is a long-time Malden resident and a regular contributor to the Malden Advocate.

The House and Senate months ago approved different tax relief packages. The Senate's package would cost the state about $590 million annually, while the House's would cost close to $1.1 billion. No details were released about the new package. Mariano and Spilka said they plan to have a vote on the package during the week of September 25. "In an effort to provide meaningful financial relief to the commonwealth's residents and businesses, we are thrilled to announce that an agreement has been reached in principle that reconciles the differences between the House and Senate tax relief packages,” said the statement. “We look forward to filing and taking up the conference report next week, which responsibly implements our shared goal of making Massachusetts more affordable, equitable, and competitive." "As I've said from day one, tax relief is essential for making Massachusetts more affordable, competitive and equitable,” responded Gov. Maura Healey. "I'mpleased that the Legislature has taken this step and look forward to delivering urgently needed tax relief to Massachusetts residents and businesses." The lack of details thus far has led to some criticism. “The public is told that they’ve come to agreed terms, but they haven’t released any details and plan to vote on it next week,” said Paul Craney, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “This process should be occurring out in the open, not behind closed doors like it has for the majority of the last two years. Unfortunately, the basic tenets of openness, transparency and good government are anathema to Beacon Hill leaders.” EQUITY IN EDUCATION - What can our business, political and education leaders do differently to connect Black and Latino students to pathways to careers that our thriving life sciences, health, clean tech and other sectors so urgently need to fill?

Healey announced an executive order that, effective immediately, will prohibit state agencies from buying single-use plastic bottles. Healey noted that this historic move will make the Bay State the first state in the nation to implement this type of ban. "We know that plastic waste and plastic production are among the leading threats to our oceans, our climate and environmental justice,” said Healey. “In government, we have an obligation -- we also have an opportunity -- to not only stop contributing to this damage, but to chart a better path forward. In our coastal state, we know climate change is our biggest threat. We also believe that taking action is our greatest opportunity, an opportunity to secure a safe, prosperous and sustainable future.” “We applaud Gov. Healey’s announcement, which shifts our state’s focus on plastics from recycling waste to reducing waste,” said MASSPIRG Executive Director Janet Domenitz. ”While recycling is better than just throwing things out, after several decades it’s clear that we cannot recycle our way out of the mess we are in. Recent studies and reports show that it is next to impossible to recycle plastic.” She continued, “Massachusetts sends to landfills or incinerates almost six million tons of waste each year. Reducing single-use plastics would reduce that waste and the commonwealth’s new commitment to use fewer water bottles is an important step towards zero waste in Massachusetts.” HUNGER ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES (S 835) – The Higher Education Committee held a hearing on legislation that would create the Hunger-free Campus Grant Program to provide funding to address food insecurity among college students at the state’s public universities. “Thirty-seven percent of public college students are food insecure, with a disproportionate impact on Black, Latin, LGBTQ students and student parents,” said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “However, only 20 percent are enrolled in SNAP. The Hunger-Free Campus legislation creates a grant program to support college campuses in taking steps toward ending food insecurity. Initiatives funded through the grant program can include notifying students about eligibility for federal food assistance like SNAP or WIC and establishing on-campus EBT/SNAP vendors or meal-sharing programs. No one should have to choose between furthering their education and being able to feed themselves or their families. By fighting hunger insecurity on our public college campuses we can remove barriers to graduation for low-income students and help them secure a brighter future.” FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION (H 1265, S 823) – Another bill heard by the Higher Education Committee would make it the policy of the state to guarantee free public higher education as a right for all residents, including undocumented ones. The measure would create a grant program to pay the equivalent of tuition and mandatory fees to an eligible student at any Massachusetts public college or university, or certificate, vocational or training program at a public institution. "I want to emphasize that making college free is critical to strengthening our democracy, at a time when threats nationwide to our democracy are at a peak,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough). “Giving young people the opportunity to build upon their roots and experiences in the community they grew up, by going to college without financial insecurities, plays a critical role in the development of young people as they become active citizens and contribute to the world in a way that makes the fabric of Massachusetts society stronger.” “As a proud first-generation college student (I graduated from Umass Amherst in 2009), I want to ensure all Massachusetts residents have access to public higher education,” said House sponsor Rep. Natalie Higgins (D-Leominster). “In Massachusetts, you’re more likely to take on student debt, and in higher amounts, if you attend a public college/university rather than a private college/university. Massachusetts cannot afford to wait to address the affordability challenges of public higher education, and this legislation will help to address many of the workforce challenges we’re facing, across education, healthcare and human services.” NONOPIOD PAIN RELIEF (H 1962) – The Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery Committee held a hearing on legislation that would require the Department of Public Health to develop and publish on its website an educational pamphlet regarding the use of nonopioid alternatives for the treatment of pain. Provisions include requiring the pamphlet to include information on available nonopioid alternatives; the advantages and disadvantages of nonopioid alternatives; requiring health care practitioners to inform patients in hospitals, emergency care departments and hospice care for whom they intend to administer anesthesia involving the use of an opioid drug, to inform the patient and/or their representative, of nonopioid alternatives and their advantages and disadvantages. “Over the last two decades the use of opioids as a pain medicine has resulted in unprecedented cases of addiction and overdose,” said sponsor Rep. Jim Arciero (D-Westford). “In order to give an alternative to their direct use, this legislation will offer information to patients about potential non-opioid treatments for pain control. I believe this legislation will provide individuals with greater choices in making their personal medical decisions which can impact their own future, their families and society.” REQUIRE WARNING LABEL (H 1968) – Another measure before the Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery Committee would require pharmacists filling a written, electronic or oral prescription for an opiate to affix to the container a label with a clear, concise warning that the opiates dispensed can cause dependence, addiction and overdose. “Nearly 50 percent of opioid dependence originates with prescribed opioid painkillers,” said sponsor Rep. Peter Capano (D-Lynn). “While the state hasn't released final numbers for overdose deaths in 2022, some of Massachusetts' biggest cities say they've seen an uptick in fatal overdoses. Warning labels won’t solve the opioid addiction crisis but it is one tool mixed with other strategies that would help combat this epidemic.” MARIJUANA AND FIRST RESPONDERS (S 48) – The Cannabis Policy Committee held a hearing on a proposal that would require the Cannabis Control Commission and the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security to study and report to the Legislature on the barriers that first responders face about their legal right to use cannabis. "As we move away from cannabis prohibition, we should ensure we do not hold on to pre-existing, bias-driven bans,” said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “I filed … [the measure] to investigate the existing barriers to first responders' legal right to use cannabis a first responders are asked to perform difficult jobs. The bill would also explore the effectiveness of cannabis in treating anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD and other traumas." QUOTABLE QUOTES “We respectfully urge the United States Congress to act expeditiously to enact legislation relative to comprehensive immigration reform and, in doing so, help resolve the dual crises of a dysfunctional immigration system and a rapidly devolving domestic workforce shortage.” ---From a letter from 65 state legislators to President Joe Biden and members of Congress. “The commonwealth is committed to supporting health care providers who deliver health care services that meet the needs of high-risk communities and populations where they are.Not only do these community health centers provide critical care to families and individuals that would otherwise have limited access to services, but these climate resilience projects also reflect the community health canters’ commitment to healthy communities.” --- Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh announcing $20 million in grants awarded to community health centers to support capital projects that address the intersection between climate change and a person’s health. “We are in the middle of a crisis in both health disparities and health care workforce retention. We can’t effectively address either of these crises without specific, current data to inform actionable policy decisions.” --- Dr. Ellana Stinson, New England Medical Association President testifying in support of legislation to address physician diversity and health disparities by mandating that licensed healthcare facilities collect and submit demographic data on physicians and physicians-in-training to the state. “The funding provided through the Urban and Community Forestry program is critical for these cities and towns to address some of their most pressing needs around public health, workforce development and climate resiliency through increasing access to green space. The commonwealth looks forward to continuing our aggressive pursuit of federal funding opportunities that will deliver for communities all across Massachusetts.” --- Director of Federal Funds and Infrastructure Quentin Palfrey announcing that several Bay State communities will receive more than $22 million in funding from the USDA Forest Service's Urban and Community Forestry Program to plant and maintain trees, combat extreme heat and climate change and improve access to nature in communities across the country. 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 September 1822, the House met for a total of one hour and 26 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 56 minutes. Mon.

Can you recommend some good companies? Arthritic Andy Dear Andy, Yes, of course! A good home stair lift is a great mobility solution for anyone who is unable, or has a diffi cult time climbing stairs. To help you choose a quality stair lift that meets your needs and budget, here are a few shopping tips along with some top-rated companies. What to Know There are two basic types of stair lifts that are sold today: straight and curved. The type you need will depend upon the design of your staircase. A straight stair lift is one that travels in a straight line up a fl ight of stairs uninterrupted by landings, bends or curves, and costs anywhere between $2,000 and $5,000 installed. Curved lifts, however, are much more elaborate and will go around corners, bends and changes in direction. Curved lifts are also much more expensive, typically running between $8,500 and $15,000 or more depending on the complexity of the installation. Most stair lifts available today also have seats, armrests and footplates that fold up out of the way, and swivel seats that make getting into and out of the chair easier. They also come with standard safety features like seatbelts, braking systems and footrest sensors, push-button or rocker-switch controls located on the armrest for easy operation, and “call send” controls which allow you to call or send the unit to the other end of the stairs. Make sure the lift you choose has all these features. If you are a large person, you may need to get a heavy-duty lift with a wider seat and bigger lifting capacity – all companies offer them. Or, if you’re tall, fi nd out about raising the seat height during installation. Depending on the company, you may also have the option of choosing between an electric (AC) and a battery powered (DC) stair lift. Electric stair lifts are simpler and cheaper than battery powered units, but if your home loses power so does your lift. While battery powered lifts work even if there’s a power failure. Best Stair Lifts To help you choose a great stair lift the National Council on Aging, which is a national nonprofi t organization that advocates for older Americans, put together a review team to research the diff erent companies. Their list of best stair lifts of 2023 includes: • Editor’s Pick: Bruno (bruno.com) • Most Aff ordable: AmeriGlide (ameriglide.com) • Best Customer Reviews: Acorn (acornstairlifts.com) • Most Supportive Design: Harmar (harmar.com) • Most Adaptable to the Home: Access BDD (accessbdd.com) • Best for Arthritis: Stannah (stannah-stairlifts.com) See NCOA.org/adviser/stair-lifts/best-stair-lifts to read their detailed reviews. Financial Help Unfortunately, health insurance including original Medicare does not cover home stair lifts, but some Medicare Advantage plans may help pay. Or, if you have long-term care insurance it too may cover a portion of the costs. If you qualify for Medicaid, many states off er waivers that may help pay for a lift, and the VA has several grant and benefi t programs that may off er assistance too if you’re a veteran. To save some money, you may want to consider purchasing a used or refurbished model. Or, if you need a stair lift for only a short period of time, consider renting one. Most companies offer these options, and many off er fi nancings too. To get started, contact some of the previously listed stair lift companies who will put you in touch with a dealer in your area. All dealers provide free in-home assessments and estimates and can help you choose an appropriate lift. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Souther Sr. A longtime resident of Malden. Passed away on Tuesday, September 26th, after a brief illness. John was born in 1943, the son of Everett and Dorothy Souther. He was raised in Everett, and soon after completing his education, he enlisted in the US Army to help our country’s fight during the Vietnam War. Upon his honorable discharge, he returned to the Boston area and settled down in Somerville. In 1971, John married his sweetheart, Eileen Clain. The two settled down together in Somerville to raise their family, until 1976, when they relocated to Malden. John had worked as a Steel Worker for the Boston Steel Company in Malden until his retirement. His life revolved around his family, and he enjoyed traveling with his wife as well as playing poker and pool with his sons. He is survived by his children, James McLeod and wife Rosario of Malden, Fred McLeod and wife Holly of Manchester, NH, Kim Ferretti and husband Donald of Windham, NH, John H. Souther Jr. and wife Jennifer of Malden, Scott Souther and wife Michelle of Lynn, Daniel Souther and wife Tracy of Manchester, NH, and Brett Souther of Peterborough, NH, his siblings, Edward Souther of VA, Joseph Souther of OK, Lillian Scheri of Amesbury, Florence Lauziere of Ashby, and David Souther of Methuen, as well as 17 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. John was preceded in death by his wife Eileen, his daughter Kellie McLeod, his sisters Rosemary Kyle and Dorothy Lemay, and his brothers, William Souther, Thomas Souther, and Robert Souther. A memorial service will be held on Monday, October 2, at the Weir-MacCuish Golden Rule Funeral Home, 144 Salem St, Malden with visitation from 3:00 PM to 6:30PM and a prayer service starting at 6:30. Paul C. Hardy Sr. Formerly of Malden and Cotuit. Died on Sept. 17th, at 94, in Wakefield. Born in Medford to Charles S. Hardy and Marie (McBride) Hardy, he attended Medford Vocational School. He worked for Coombs MacBeath, then joined the Air Force in 1950. After leaving the service, he worked for Westinghouse and partnered in an appliance repair business. He joined the Malden Fire Department in 1963, retiring at the rank of Captain in 1994. An avid cyclist, golfer, and hockey player, he was a member of the AMC “4000 Foot Club”. He left us with a riddle: why his vanity plate for 20+ years read “ONCE”. Paul is survived by his wife of 72 years, Lois (Flaherty) Hardy, his children, Pat Hardy (Michael Dwyer), Cheryl Hardy-Faraci (Chuck Faraci), Paul C. Hardy Jr. (Deborah), and 7 grandchildren, Arthur, Alexandra, Devlin, Nina, Christopher, Carolyn and Geneva, as well as many other family members and friends. His daughter, Ellen G.
