By Steve Freker W hen she was a young girl, former U.S. Olympian Louise Mae Stokes Fraser would race against boys in her Malden neighborhood on the B&M Railroad tracks just outside of Malden Square. She beat most of them. In a fi tting bit of touching irony, part of that historic landmark, now known as the Northern Strand Community Trail, a popular walking cycling and running path, has been named in her honor. Malden always beams with pride and excitement as a community when one of its own is recognized on a national level for excellence and achievement. www.advocatenews.net Congratulations MHS Class of 2020!

It is taking care of your needs so that, in turn, you can take care of others. A great example is a flight attendant who instructs the passengers “to put the face mask on themselves first before attempting to assist another passenger.” Here are a few self-care tips to get you started: 1. Declutter – You don’t have to tackle a big project, just start small and give yourself a 30-minute time limit. You could go through your junk mail pile or dresser drawers; the point is that even small victories over clutter can give you a feeling of accomplishment. 2. Music – Make a music playlist with your favorite feel-good music. The genre doesn’t matter as long as it makes you feel good. 3. Nonalcoholic Happy Hours – Have a happy hour with friends on Zoom or Google Meet. Share fun times by having a meal together, a cup of coffee, or play a silly game to shake off the week’s stress. 4. Limit Social Media – Take a break from social media to decrease the amount of negative information you consume. You’d be surprised how much better you feel if you stop looking at your phone for a while. 5. Exercise – Get moving! Studies show exercise helps release stress, whether it is taking the dog for a walk, stretching, or even just dancing in your living room. 6. Meditate – There are many kinds of meditation practices you can learn. Start slow by checking out websites like Mindful.org, where you can learn meditation/mindfulness techniques that can be done in as little as 10 minutes. 7. Get More Sleep – For most of us, we do not get enough sleep, especially now when our sleep patterns can be interrupted. Many health professionals feel lack of sleep can cause major health issues. 8. Learn to say No – Sometimes we need to say No to recharge our batteries. Don’t feel guilty; remember, the car doesn’t run without gas! 9. Read – Try reading a book on self-care or a new mystery or other fiction novel to take your mind off your stress. 10. Plan – It’s important to regularly schedule self-care time. Even if it’s a few minutes a day, schedule it and guard it like you would a meeting. It’s up to you to make sure that you take care of yourself during these challenging times. By practicing regular self-care, you will be better equipped to deal with the stress brought on by COVID-19. (Note: Elizabeth A.

Instead, Mayor Gary Christenson and Veterans Service Offi cer Kevin Jarvis held a simple and solemn Memorial Day ceremony that was streamed live on the city’s website “This year, the COVID-19 pandemic prevents us from coming together as a community to observe this important day with the respect it deserves,” said Christenson. “While we are all paying the price to keep one another safe, we cannot forget those who paid the ultimate price so we could live safely.” Christenson recalled that former President Barack Obama once said that the nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that it can never repay. “We can, however, make a down payment by doing our part to help get past this pandemic and back to a time when we can have our traditional parade and ceremony to honor this sacred day.” Jarvis said that despite the cancellation of the traditional parade and ceremony, the city is still honoring generations of Malden residents who fought and died while serving in the military. “We still remember their service and sacrifi ce to our great nation,” he said. Jarvis urged residents to go back and watch videos of the World War I Memorial rededication and last year’s Memorial Day Service. “Since World War I more than 350 Malden residents were killed while serving and many more injured,” said Jarvis. “Today we honor those who fought, those who gave their lives, and those who stand by willingly to do the same today,” he said. Over on the east side of Malden, City Councillors David Camell and Stephen Winslow and School Committee Member Joseph Gray rode through the neighborhood, stopping at diff erent squares and sites dedicated to Malden vets. They stopped at Cipriano Memorial Square to honor Private George Cipriano, who was killed in action in North Korea on Sept. 30, 1951. They went on to Rumson Memorial Square to memorialize Samuel Rumson, who was killed by a sniper on March 8, 1968, in Phu Pen, Vietnam. Their next stop was Wright Memorial Square, where they honored Nathaniel Wright, who served in the Marine Corps during World War II and was awarded the Bronze Star for his service during the Battle of Okinawa. It was then on to Trafton Park, to pay tribute to Corporal William Trafton, who was killed in action on May 31, 1918, in Richecourt, France, and Lance CorpoHERO | SEE PAGE 5 Finance Committee considers new approaches to city budget By Barbara Taormina T he Finance Committee has started reviewing Mayor Gary Christenson’s $184.3 budget proposal for 2021 against a backdrop of questions and uncertainties. Like other communities, Malden is facing a cut in local aid, but no one knows how deep it will go. City revenues are expected to dip, but no one knows how big the loss will be. Federal aid will be available for COVID-19 related costs, but guidelines and restrictions for that funding aren’t clear. City Treasurer Dan Grover, Controller Chuck Ranaghan and Parking Department Director Ron Hogan off ered members of the Finance Committee an overview of some of the factors at play that could have a signifi cant impact on Malden’s fi nancial future. “The scale of what’s coming from the state is enormous,” Hogan told the committee this week. The state is bracing for a $4 to $6 billion shortfall in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hogan said the Commonwealth’s $3 billion rainy day fund won’t cover the gap. According to Hogan the anticipated cuts in local aid won’t be a one-year fi x. It took years for local aid to inch back to where it was before a series of cuts made during the last recession. Hogan said responsible planning was behind this 2021 budget proposal, which includes $180.2 million in spending and $4.1 million set aside to cover an anticipated 15 percent cut in general local aid and a decrease in Chapter 70 state funding for public schools. The plan also includes wage freezes for employees throughout the city with the exception of the police and fi re departments. Although there is no offi cial hiring freeze, Hogan said the plan is to look at each job opening as it comes up and see if the city can live without it.

Grant Program supports Massachusetts nonprofi ts that are based in and primarily serve Middlesex, Essex and Suff olk Counties. Through this placebased initiative, Cummings Foundation aims to give back in the area where it owns commercial buildings, all of which are managed, at no cost to the Foundation, by its affi liate, Cummings Properties. Founded in 1970 by Bill Cummings, the Woburn-based commercial real estate fi rm leases and manages 10 million square feet of debt-free space, the majority of which exclusively benefi ts the Foundation. The Cummings Foundation has now awarded more than $280 million to Greater Boston nonprofi ts. “We have been impressed, but not surprised, by the myriad ways in which these 130 grant winners are serving their communities, despite the challenges presented by COVID-19,” said Cummings Foundation Executive Director Joel Swets. “Their ability to adapt and work with their constituents in new and meaningful ways has an enormous impact in the communities where our colleagues and leasing clients live and work.” Social distancing requirements will prevent Foundation and grant winner representatives from convening for a reception at TradeCenter 128 in Woburn, as planned, to celebrate the $20 million infusion into Greater Boston’s nonprofit sector. Instead, Cummings Foundation expects hundreds of individuals to gather virtually for a modifi ed celebration in mid-June. The Cummings $20 Million Grant Program resulted from a merger of the Foundation’s two fl agship grant programs, $100K for 100 and Sustaining Grants. The Foundation and its volunteers fi rst identifi ed 130 organizations to receive grants of at least $100,000 each. Among the winners are fi rst-time recipients as well as nonprofi t entities that have previously received Cummings Foundation grants. A limited number of this latter group of repeat recipients will be invited to make in-person presentations in the fall, when public-health-related circumstances allow, proposing that their grants be elevated to long-term awards. Thirty such requests will be granted in the form of 10-year awards ranging from $200,000 to $500,000 each. This year’s diverse group of grant recipients represents a wide variety of causes, including homelessness prevention, aff ordable housing, education, violence prevention and food insecurity. The nonprofi t entities are spread across 40 diff erent cities and towns, and most will receive their grants over two to fi ve years. The complete list of 130 grant winners is available at www.CummingsFoundation.org.

Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy said she appreciates the long view presented by the financial team. “I think you’ve put us in a place where you’ve made us think about the future,” she said. “We’re in this for the long haul. We’re not just looking at 2021, we’re looking at this for another 10 years.” Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley suggested the possibility of restructuring some city departments. “I think we could look at how we can combine city departments and find efficiencies,” said O’Malley, who floated the idea of rolling the Malden Redevelopment Authority in the economic development department.

Just up the road, at Forestdale Community Church, her granddaughter Emily was getting married to husband Rob, and the couple planned to stop by Forestdale Park to bring the celebration to Beverly. Like so many other brides who had to change their wedding plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Emily had to postpone her planned ceremony and reception, but she made the decision to get married on their original wedding date for one very important reason: Beverly. “I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without my Nani,” said Emily of the decision to bring her celebration to Forestdale Park. “While we had to bump the big party to 2021, we wanted to have a special moment here with her.” When Beverly finally saw her granddaughter in a wedding dress, she was overcome with joy. Staff at Forestdale helped the proud grandmother decorate the community’s farmer’s porch with tulle, and the family spent time together singing, laughing and dancing – all from a safe distance. While it wasn’t the reception that every bride dreams of, for this family it was perfect.

Ward 3 Councillor Amanda Linehan and Councillor-at-Large Stephen Winslow have proposed the Housing Stability Notification Ordinance that would require landlords seeking to evict tenants to provide a flyer or letter that outlines available legal aid, housing counselling and financial assistance for back rent and MALDEN METEOR | FROM PAGE 1 cord in the standing broad jump event as a member of a women’s track and field club in December 1931, just a few months after her graduation from Malden High School. First-ever Malden resident, first black women selected for U.S. Olympics in 1932 Just a few months after that, she brought further international acclaim to her hometown when she became the first (and only) Malden resident, man or woman, ever to be named to a U.S. Olympic Team, when she was selected as a sprinter for the 1932 Olympic Games, which that year were being hosted in Los Angeles, Calif. Stokes Fraser also made history as she and teammate Tidye Pickett, an exceptional athlete from Chicago, Ill., were the first two African-American women to be selected as U.S. Olympians that year. Sadly, neither Stokes Fraser nor Pickett were able to compete and represent their country in the 1932 Olympic Games – replaced at the last minute in the 4 X 100 relay event. Since the two women had appeared to have earned the right to a spot on that relay team due to their performances at pre-Olympics time trials and the fact that their 11th hour replacements were white women, race has been cited by a number of historians as being a factor in their being denied a spot to compete in any official Olympics events in 1932. Both women again were picked to compete in the 1936 Olympics, this time the historic Games being held in Berlin, the heart of Nazi Germany. These games were forevermore known as the “Jesse Owens” Olympics, due to Owens, an African-American on the men’s team, winning four Gold Medals. Once again, Stokes Fraser did not get an opportunity to compete – left off the relay team once again. Pickett did go on to achieve notoriety as the first African-American woman in history to compete for the U.S. Olympic Team, though an injury ended her quest for a medal in the semifinals of the 100 meter sprint. Though, by the numbers, Stokes Fraser did not excel in the pre-competition times as she had four years earlier in the, again it appeared she had earned a spot in the 4 X 100 relay with the better performances. But again, some sports historians claim racism was ultimately a factor in her being denied a chance to run. Louise Mae Stokes Fraser grew up in Malden and excelled in all athletics in her formative years, despite the fact that women’s participation in sports competition was extremely limited both by opportunity and public opinion. Added to the limitations was the fact that in many parts of the United States, segregation according to race was prevalent and in effect in many ways. A flat-out paucity of available opportunities for wouldbe women athletes in both team and individual sports was indeed one major barrier. Add to that the belief in many circles that athletic competition was innately wrong, physically and mentally, for women to participate in. From the late 19th century right up until the 1940s, prominent scientific minds spoke against women competing in athletics, citing adverse effects anywhere from the child-bearing process to mental instability. Who was Louise Mae Stokes Fraser? Louise May Stokes grew up moving expenses. “This would be another tool in our toolbox to protect our most vulnerable residents and to help them understand their rights,” said Linehan, who introduced the proposal at the May 5 City Council meeting. “It would also be a benefit for landlords because it would give tenants access to resources that will help them get paid,” added Linehan. Winslow said ensuring that people know their rights made a huge difference at 33 Park St., where tenants were hit with a 40 percent hike in rents without much warning. Councillors raised questions about how the ordinance would work and concerns about which property owners would be subject to the ordinance. “There are a lot of owner-occupied homes where people rely on rent,” said Murphy, adding that the council shouldn’t enact an ordinance that will benefit some residents but not others. “We need to have a discussion and make sure all parties are at the table and have a voice,” said Murphy. The Ordinance Committee began discussing the proposed ordinance this week, and committee members continue to raise questions. Linehan stressed that Malden could be facing an onslaught of evictions in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. Factors such as the city’s shortage of affordable housing and high rents would add to the problem. But councillors wanted more details and facts. Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson asked about the typical number of evictions in Malden. “I want to make sure everyone has the information, but I haven’t appreciated the scope of the problem,” he said. Linehan and Winslow, who have been relying on national statistics, said they would find specific numbers for Malden. Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe wondered how landlords would document the fact that they provided information to tenants, and how tenants would prove they didn’t. Linehan suggested that enforcement of the ordinance would come from housing advocates who could argue in housing court that landlords failed to follow the city’s regulation. That could weigh against them in an eviction proceeding. But Murphy once again brought up owner-occupied properties where landlords, particularly seniors, depend on rent as a lifeline. “I would like to have a discussion with both landlords and tenants,” she said. “I think we need to hear from folks on both sides.” Committee members agreed to continue gathering information and discussing the proposed ordinance.

(Courtesy Photo) near Malden’s downtown and developed a love of running and sports in general at a young age. According to her son, Wilfred Fraser Jr., she beat any girls in town easily, so she began racing neighborhood boys on the B&M Railroad tracks that ran along the city behind Malden Square, now the site of the Northern Strand Community Trail. She went on to become a student at the then brand-new Beebe Junior High School on Pleasant Street in the late 1920s, before moving on to Malden High School. It was there that Louise Mae began to excel athletically. She starred on the fledgling Beebe girls’ basketball team, which was a very rudimentary, 6-on-6 game, with only one dribble allowed per player at a time and only three players allowed over half court of the small court surface at a time. These girls’ basketball rules remained essentially the same for 50 years, into the 1970s. She caught the eye of the local Park Commissioner, William H. Quaine, who ran the Onterora Club, a private track and field club in the area. Quaine quickly took an interest in Stokes Fraser and began to guide her career, entering her in races and events around the region. This coincided with her athletic participation at Malden High School, where she was a member of the Class of 1931 who competed in basketball and girls’ track and field. She established MHS school records in nearly every event offered and balanced her time by singing in the choir at Eastern Avenue Baptist Church. “The Malden Meteor” sets a World Record in 1931 In the spring of her senior year, at Quaine’s urging, she entered by the Boston-based Women’s Track Championships, which were held in the Fens near Fenway Park and adjacent to where Northeastern University is now located. Stokes Fraser wowed the large crowd in attendance by winning four events and setting a New England record in the 100 meter sprint with a time of 12.9 seconds. Most remarkably, she also tied the World Record in the standing broad jump, with a mark of 8 feet-5 3/4 inches. She was awarded the James Michael Curley Mayor’s Cup as the event’s Most Outstanding Performer. Furthermore, as news of her world record began to spread, almost immediately national attention began to come Stokes Fraser’s way. A bright future appeared to be looming for the teen who many had started to call “The Malden Meteor.” ׉ 7cassandra://rSNbXM2td0npxeHbIE0DmSeOX3HuYjERJcEPljWhKdA'`̰^H|7Rt׉E"vTHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 29, 2020 Page 9 “Malden: Today, tomorrow and yesterday”... Random thoughts during Phase 1 By Peter F. Levine “I t is said in Malden: today, tomorrow and yesterday...” The hits keep rolling in. Loved this post honoring the life of Preacher Jack – Chris Oleks via Facebook: “Well, John Coughlin aka ‘The Preacher’ may have left the earthly confines of the round mound, but as we all know, he’d like us to remember to ‘kiss a belly button for Jesus,’ and that ‘Jesus didn’t want no bad boogie-woogie!’ Ain’t many true originals out there, especially the ones many never took much notice of, but my Lord, he was one of ’em.” This one also: Mike Cherone, cohost of MATV’s “02148”: “I took a picture with Jack after a sizzlin’ 45-minute set down at St. Rocco’s back in 2009. The likes of which the Feast has not seen since! And of course, many memories at the Blue Star back in the day. Rest in peace, Preacher Jack! Thank you for sharing your music and your love of God! I can still hear you singing ‘Just a closer walk with thee!’ You can’t get any closer now, Brother!” Us old ‘Y’ guys (and there are many of us there still plugging away) are still wondering what happened to the memorial plaque that hung at the old barn for that hard-nosed, but always lovable competitor – Peter Placowicz? Anybody get around to watching the video posted by “The Irish Poet” on YouTube recorded at an Irish couple named Trish & Neil’s wedding in Donegal, Ireland? It might be time. At this point over 9.2 million have viewed the “Catholic flash mob” singing “How Great Thou Art” – bringing tears to the bride as well as a woman sitting a few DONATED | FROM PAGE 1 emony in August with consideration to local and CDC guidelines, they still put together a plan to honor seniors this weekend, a mini-parade consisting of teachers and administrators fanning put across the city to visit each graduating senior’s home. “We thought it would be a great way to honor our seniors, basically bring the graduation to them,” said Malden High School Principal Chris Mastrangelo. “We got a great response from our staff, who are volunteering to drive along the routes. Our seniors are excited about it.” The MHS principal said the idea is for the seniors to be all dressed up in their official caps back Thursday on Friday: “Sherman, set the Wayback Machine to August of 1979” – as reported in the Malden Evening News: “Death knell for the old city hall” – “Malden City Hall is days away from destruction. The M.R.A. board members at their meeting Thursday afternoon voted 3-0-1 to formally confirm the low bidders on the demolition contract.

The simple guitar/organ combo and emotionally inspired lyrics coupled with the sentimental impact of the day offer up a perfect example for the power of music and – bottom line – a well-written song. Local heroes among us: Tricia Larson (Kevin’s saint of a wife) has been stationed over at MGH Chelsea working Herculean hours since the pandemic broke round these parts – working directly with COVID-19 patients. Trish is a physical therapist by trade but since there is no elective surgery going on, she has been working shoulder to shoulder with doctors, nurses and other valiant health care professionals because of the need since the very beginning of this darn outbreak. Direct quote from Trish: “We do what needs to be done.” We thank you so much for that, Trish! Kevin also reports that on Thursday, May 21 he and his saintly wife swapped “I do’s” at a and gowns and have a few family members and friends with them standing in front of their homes. To that end, Mastrangelo and his staff engineered an assembly-line distribution of the caps and gowns, along with some other special gifts for the seniors on Thursday. In addition to caps and gowns, Class of 2020 seniors also received commemorative T-shirts and specially-designed Class of 2020 protective masks from the school. A generous donation from a local business owner, Rob Noe of Universal Screening (175 Ferry St. in Everett), of more than 400 T-shirts was available to present to the seniors Thursday. “Universal Screening and Rob [Noe] are great friends of Mal“neutral location” – the Immaculate Conception Church on the Malden/Medford line being the location.

My nomination for Malden’s new motto: lyrics by late, great reggae legend, Peter Tosh: “Cause I’m a man of the past, and I’m livin’ in the present, and I’m walking in the future, stepping in the future.” When Malden Evening News Editor Steve Freker departed that paper after 32 years, those of us with a love for print media panicked. Would that be the end of one of the last great local print guys? Fear not: Steve now appears on these very pages and has made The Malden Advocate the must read in Malden with his long memory, firsthand knowledge of all things sports in the past 50 years and his way with words. Catch his piece on Carmine Cappuccio last week? Outstanding! I just love this one: Throwden High School and our athletic department. They are always ready to help with great apparel and equipment needs for our student-athletes,” said Malden High School Director of Athletics Charlie Conefrey. “It was a very generous gesture to help honor our seniors. Rob’s the best.” “It’s been a tough year for all of us, especially those seniors from Malden High and all the high schools,” Noe said. “We are happy to do anything we can to help honor them and brighten their day.” Rob Noe, owner of Universal Screening, recently donated more than 400 t-shirts to the Class of 2020.

Speaking of the YMCA, whenever I walk through those doors, I always take a moment to stop, reflect and remember the late Andrea Giannattasio whose memorial plaque hangs resplendently on the wall, reminding us to not forget the past. Andrea was an MHS 1975 grad, an inspiration to many of us and (of course) beloved to this day by her many friends and family members. Phase 1 is here. I am cautiously as well as optimistically looking forward to a new and more challenging tomorrow. Doing my part as a member of this community as well as the global community. It will not be easy for many, but we will survive. And adapt. The Saint Rocco Feast will be bigger and stronger next year. Possibly I will appreciate the Boston Red Sox again (next year?), having grown disillusioned over the years with 30-million-dollar-a-year prima donnas and $50 to park your car at Fenway. On a more personal note, my yard has never looked better – the tender loving care missing in recent years back with a vengeance. I’ll really feel we’re on the path of correctness when the state and the powers that be in Malden give the Italian American Citizens Club the okay to open their vaunted door and boccie starts its glorious season. “Look a little on the sunny, sunny side of life” as the greatest lyricist of all time – Ray Davies – once sang.

Small note: These musings are taken from John’s columns from the 1970s, and to “get” some of his quips it may require residence in Malden for at least the last 45 years. I hope all enjoy nonetheless: “You don’t have to be a druggie to get off on the Orange Line.” “Goodbye Granada, goodbye, Malden Square.” “Is it true that St Rocco is the patron saint of the Rolling Stones?” “Malden must be the greatest city in the world. It’s the only one where you have to pay to get off a train.” “We met on the Isle of Capri, but we split in an aisle at the A&P.” “I fell for a fallen woman, one fall in the Fells.” “When we breakfasted at the Robin Hood, you were the toast of Broadway.” “An optimist is someone who thinks the Malden Station escalator will be repaired before MALDEN: TODAY | SEE PAGE 11 ׉ 7cassandra://9SdbIM7YPGTbMrY43tlgf_ubsD_bDAKVegYqTbevYGA)l`̰^H|7Rt^H|7Rt PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://6KWMRQ4ocr9on1MnyLyv_6pnf3GKIHkPVFhgAA8s1Ps^`)׉ 7cassandra://KTGxXSqiocNpnApz6lfTpz-aTe4Tw55KvEJ9X9xkz50͗+`J׉ 7cassandra://IddAYzy4RaKOaM7M-Bg_AS8IQZN7Ca3UD10gX9B8ziE*J`̰׉ 7cassandra://vzupOsvP3j2TOJ9Q-9wQoNcZRhT-cvnwzibrswGtUHEX͠^H7Rt4ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://ePSFnMMHRqnk1gmnRv7ON2BGjsbHfOJ__5eumQMIkvQٺ`)׉ 7cassandra://zVeNSbrLqLIu-THeScaZCX6Tp01_Q30D9C3ZEIKJ0Jgͥ`J׉ 7cassandra://y1FId6MhJvtinsWuyLciK7DqU34B4lVJ65cBweUJ0rc)`̰׉ 7cassandra://UHsvIZIk-kl9oAqakhxZTrjaEMrkg7IdgfUgpj6invwͪ͠^H7Rt5נ^H7Rt<+9ׁHmailto:Info@advocatenews.netׁ ׁ Јנ^H7Rt;0"̊9ׁHhttp://fpmalden.org/Pride.ׁ ׁ Јנ^H7Rt:K} 9ׁHhttp://classcentral.comׁ ׁ Јנ^H7Rt9̈P̘9ׁHhttp://www.suׁ ׁ Јנ^H7Rt8Kq9ׁHhttp://www.edx.orgׁ ׁ Јנ^H7Rt7K̀9ׁHhttp://www.mooc.orgׁ ׁ Ј׉E[Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 29, 2020 Tailor Your Career! By Elizabeth Hart O ne thing this pandemic has shown me and other colleagues in the workforce development field is that everyone needs to take responsibility for making sure their career is sustainable. There are many things outside our control – we went from an unemployment rate of below 3% to a rate of 24% in a matter of months. So, even if you are not in an active job search, circumstances arise when we may be looking for new employment. Here are a few tips to remember and be ready for whatever career-related challenges may occur: Control. You can only control what you can control. You can’t control the economy, pandemics, or whether the company you are working in survives. These things are out of your control so it does no good to dwell on them. Invest. Start investing in yourself. Keep your skills sharp; take free webinars, courses, and training. If there is something you are weak in, strive to get better. Did you know that there are many opportunities for free classes – yes, free – you can take? Check out these websites to get you started: MOOCS (www.mooc.org); Edx Classes (www.edx.org); and for those looking for technical training there are Microsoft training tutorials (www.support.office. com). Not sure what class to take? Start a search at www. classcentral.com. Network. Now’s the time to take networking seriously and be strategic. Don’t just join LinkedIn; use it as the great networking tool that it is. Tailor Everything. Customize your resume, job applications, and cover letter – remember one size doesn’t fit all. Each resume and cover letter should be tailored to the specific position and make sure you use keywords from What is kindness? Resident thanks staff at Forestdale Park Assisted Living the job description in each. Don’t Burn Bridges. Never bad-mouth a previous employer or manager. You never know when you might need a reference or a networking connection. Look for the silver lining. I’m a big believer that you need to look for opportunities in the challenges. My mantra is “What opportunity could this be?” Confidence. Have confidence in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, who will? Basic Needs. You may have to take a less than perfect short-term job. Remember Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and take care of your basic needs first. LinkedIn. Update your LinkedIn profile. There are many articles written on how to make your LinkedIn profile stand out to recruiters. A quick Google search will lead you to insight from LinkedIn experts. Clean Up. Clean up your social media. The majority of recruiters report that they check out a person’s social media profile (i.e., LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter) before reaching out to a potential candidate. If there are things in your social media you would rather not have a recruiter see, delete it. Make sure your social media accounts are private and start deleting old potentially embarrassing posts. These are challenging times for us all, but I believe if you start looking at ways to make the best of the situation, you’ll come out ahead in the “new normal.” Remember, success is a journey, not a destination.

With the speed of Bobby Orr zooming down the Garden ice, Joanne was in total command. She pressed my buzzer instantly as I had not pressed it fully, adjusted the towel I placed on the cut, gathered my clothes, and dressed me. Of course, I had to leave in style! Due to COVID-19, I was hesitant at having to go to the ER. As quick as a flash, she responded in her authoritative voice, “If you have to go, you have to go.” Would I dare resist? It reminded me of saying “Yes Sister Superior.” Upon hearing the signal from the buzzer, Fara and Jade quickly appeared. They immediately went into action, calling 911, waiting while the fire department and EMTs arrived and putting my apartment in order. Offers of help came from our associates Alexis and Programming Assistant Karen, followed by calls, newspaper delivery, sweets and general help and get well wishes from my Forestdale Park neighbors, dear and precious friends. Also, Laura and her nursing team cheerfully provided ongoing care. The dictionary defines kindness as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. I define kindness as: Joanne the passerby acting as the Good Samaritan. Fara and Jade remaining while the emergency team arrived. All associates nursing staff and friends at Forestdale Park offering care, help, concern, and good wishes. The Malden Fire Department and EMTs doing their job with efficiency and compassion.

On May 21, An Act providing additional support to those affected by the novel coronavirus through the unemployment insurance system was enacted and laid before the governor for consideration. The bill builds on the legislature’s efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic and follows the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which increased UI benefits and expanded eligibility during the COVID-19 pandemic. “From the outset of this public health pandemic, our focus has been on easing the burdens felt by working families, and this thoughtfully crafted bipartisan legislation exemplifies that commitment,” stated Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “With this legislation, we are taking steps to ensure Massachusetts workers and employers can maximize the benefits available to them through state and federal actions. I am thankful to my Senate colleagues as well as Speaker DeLeo and his members for their work in moving this legislation one step closer to becoming law.” “This bill protects employers, including nonprofits, and workers as we deal with the economic crisis in the wake of COVID-19,” said House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D-Winthrop). “I thank Chair Michlewitz, Chair Ferrante, Vice Chair Hay, Senate President Spilka, and my colleagues in the House and Senate for their work on this important UI Bill.” “With the passage of this bill, the Senate is building on its commitment to support the workers and business owners of the Commonwealth who are struggling with the financial impacts of COVID-19,” said Senator Michael Rodrigues (DWestport), who is Co-Chair of the Legislature’s Joint CommitMALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 9 Christmas.” (He wrote this in May.) “There’s a line between the Indianapolis Speedway and Exchange Street that’s hard to draw on a morning such as this.” “The Audubon Society just sighted a double-breasted seersucker in Jordan Marsh.” “This is the end, beautiful tee on Ways & Means. “I applaud my colleagues in the Senate and the House for continuing to work collaboratively to provide relief to the state’s most vulnerable citizens during this challenging time.” “Throughout this pandemic our unemployment system has been put under tremendous stress as employers and employees try to navigate the system,” said Representative Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), who is Co-Chair of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Ways & Means. “By passing this legislation we will help both businesses and workers alike have a more streamlined relationship with the unemployment system.” “Our Commonwealth is confronting both a health crisis and an economic crisis. Due to no fault of their own, more than 1 million Massachusetts residents have now filed for unemployment. Our communities face layoffs on a scale that has no modern precedent, with potentially devastating long-term consequences if policymakers fail to act swiftly,” said Senator Eric Lesser (D-Longmeadow), who is Co-chair of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies. “It is urgent that families receive their benefits in a timely matter, that the benefit period is extended and properly compensates families with dependents, and that small business owners also get relief from fines and penalties that are unjustly applied. This legislation will help offer such relief, which is why it passed both the Massachusetts Senate and House with bipartisan support. On behalf of the more than one million families and hundreds of small businesses facing urgent need, I urge Governor Baker to sign this legislation immediately.” “Clearly, Covid-19 has presented many challenges to the Commonwealth. Chief among them are protecting residents from a potential life threatening virus, financial ruin and friend; this is the end, my only friend, the end...” Damn you, Covid-19! You take from us the most vulnerable. Our weakest. The ones who survived Korea, Nam, Richard Nixon and “Lite” beer; the elderly who’ve paid their dues and have earned the right to leave on their own terms. Your time will come, you expletive deleted. This great country of ours has the best and hunger. In Massachusetts and across the country, we have seen unparalleled levels of unemployment,” said Representative Ann-Margaret Ferrante (D-Gloucester), who is Co-Chair of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies. “As our residents try to navigate an enormously difficult health care and economic crisis, this unemployment legislation allows the Commonwealth to work more effectively with the business and nonprofit communities by streamlining unemployment regulations and mitigating costs while simultaneously tending to the needs of residents, who may require additional time to return to work.” “It is so important that we continue to support the people who have had their incomes interrupted by the efforts necessary to contain the spread of COVID-19,” said Senator Patricia Jehlen (D-Somerville), who is Co-chair of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development. “I am glad we are able to take this step to expand unemployment to help more people, and their families, longer and with extended benefits.” “This bill provides critical support to businesses, nonprofits, and municipalities facing an unprecedented crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, this bill contains a necessary change to the unemployment system to help low-income families struggling to make ends meet by raising the cap on dependency benefits,” said Representative Stephan Hay (D-Fitchburg), who is Vice Chair of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development. “I am proud of the work done by this legislature to respond to the needs of the Commonwealth during an extremely difficult time.” “Unemployment benefits are a critical lifeline in an economic storm and the pandemic has brought into sharp focus the brightest determined to eradicate you and this scourge once and for all. We have a real-life warrior in one Dr. Anthony Fauci leading the assault, followed closely by fearless real-life heroes and role models, like Andrew Cuomo, Rick Bright and the brilliant minds at the CDC, never mind everyday heroes, like our health care professionals, who will crush this monster importance of having a sound unemployment insurance system that responds effectively to people depending on it,” said Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). “The measures contained in this bill will go a long way to strengthening our system and helping individuals and families when they need it most.” “The economic fallout from the COVID-19 global pandemic has been devastating, with over one million Massachusetts residents filing for unemployment and businesses struggling to survive. This bill takes additional steps to assist residents and employers impacted by the pandemic,” said House Minority Leader Bradley Jones, Jr. (R-North Reading). “It allows for a four-week extension in benefits if new unemployment claims filed in any week exceed 100,000, and lays the groundwork for lifting the dependency cap. It also protects employers from being penalized and hit with rate increases if they are forced to lay off workers due to the pandemic. This bill will help families and businesses as we continue to navigate through this unprecedented public health crisis.” “I was proud to join my colleagues in the House to pass this urgent piece of legislation that will expand unemployment benefits for low-income families, nonprofits, and employers,” said Representative Ultrino. “It is more crucial now than ever to ensure that our most vulnerable populations in the Commonwealth are supported and do not fall through the cracks.” The components of the bill Protection for employers: Employers who participate in UI pay contributions based on their layoff experience. Like other forms of insurance, employers that are more likely to have workers use UI are asked to pay more in the system. The system does not anticipate a situation where employers across several sectors have been forced to sigin due time. In closing, I would like to take a moment to say goodbye and state respectfully “rest peacefully” to a few in my life that I have lost. Amerige Park guys Bert and Cliff Cioffi lost their dad in April. The “Boston Boogie-Woogie Man” John “Preacher Jack” Coughlin lost a short battle in April also. A man who had Edgeworth in his soul, Billy Casamennificantly reduce their workforces due to situations outside of their control. This bill prevents layoffs related to COVID-19 from negatively impacting an employer’s future UI contributions. Extending unemployment benefit period: The number of weeks of unemployment compensation available in Massachusetts is tied to unemployment rates around the state; however, this trigger did not anticipate a situation in which unemployment grows rapidly in a very short time. This bill ensures that the 30-week benefit period is triggered by a significant uptick in weekly unemployment claims. Lifting the cap on dependency allotment: This bill eliminates the 50% cap for the dependency allotment providing additional benefits to low-income families. This increase will be in addition to the $600 per week benefit add-on provided for in the CARES Act for all workers eligible for state or federal benefits. This provision is effective for 18 months after the end of the COVID-19 emergency and the end of enhanced federal benefits. Currently, UI recipients are entitled to an additional $25 per week for each child in the family, capped at 50% of a recipient’s base allotment. The result is that workers with particularly low allotments, such as low wage workers, can easily be capped out of receiving these additional amounts. Nonprofit contribution grace period: Presently, many nonprofits self-insure for unemployment claims. This means that when layoffs in the sector occur, nonprofits pay the cost of those benefits dollar for dollar at the next billing period. This bill provides a 120-day grace period for nonprofits to make these contributions. This delay will allow the state to review additional changes that are warranted to mitigate the impact on nonprofits. The CARES Act provides 50% reimbursement for self-insured benefit payments during the COVID-19 crisis. to, lost his battle on April 17. Three fine men. One awful, soon to be defeated virus.

Many high school baseball prospects, particularly Class of 2021 juniors, who consider themselves “next up,” were devastated when the coronavirus pandemic erased the spring sports season for all high schools nationwide. Though many state officials nationally, as well as those here in Massachusetts, now say the surge in virus cases is behind us, the impact has already cut into the summer season. The spring school season, combined with the summer baseball months, was considered prime time for recruiting 2021 juniors along with top prospects from the Class of 2022 sophomore class of baseball prospects. A group of well-known, Massachusetts-based college baseball coaches all said that far from the “all is lost” feeling experienced by some disappointed high school players, they instead should sharpen their focus and keep pursuing their dreams. Looking for players who are “a good fit” for the program Assumption College Coach Mike Rocco “We are still recruiting, we are still looking for good baseball players,” said Division 1 Merrimack University head baseball coach Nick Barese, “but most importantly we are looking for good baseball players who are a good fit for our program. That will never change.” Coach Barese was joined on a three-coach panel which included Mike Rocco, head baseball coach at Assumption College, a Division 2 school located in Worcester, which plays in the NE-10 Conference, and Amherst College head baseball coach J.P. Pyne, a Division 3 school which is a member of the high-end academic New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). The three coaches combined to deliver a tremendous, nearly four-hour virtual “Zoom” session coordinated by the Massachusetts Baseball Coaches Everett Aluminum 10 Everett Ave., Everett 617-389-3839 Owned & operated by the Conti family since 1958 • 57 Years! “Same name, phone number & address for family since 1958 • 62 over half a century.

Merrimack University Coach Nick Barese Association (MBCA), a 350-plus member organization comprised of Massachusetts high school and college baseball coaches. Over 50 high school coaches and about a dozen college baseball coaches participated in the virtual clinic. Pandemic-related factors affect future college rosters Both Coach Barese and Coach Rocco confirmed that there would be fewer spots on their recruiting shopping list for Class of 2021 players this year, but they pointed to other pandemic-related factors as well. Namely, all collegiate baseball players have been granted an additional full year of athletic eligibility, since the college seasons were ended about three weeks after they began in the spring, due to the pandemic. That means that seniors who played this past spring can come back for anAmherst College Coach J.P. Pyne other year to replace the season they missed, if they wish. “Naturally, that’s going to tighten up rosters and reduce spots, depending on how many seniors come back,” Coach Rocco said, “but we are honoring any and all commitments we have made; that includes committed players from the 2020 and 2021 classes.” “Some seniors will come back, others will just go out into the working world, not wanting to be full-time students an extra year just to play a last year of college baseball,” Barese said. “Obviously, there’s a cost involved with a decision like that, and parents and players will have a big decision to make on that value of another year, especially in … uncertain financial times.” Coach Pyne said the “senior return” factor did not affect his program as much for a lot of reasons, particularly since his brand of student-athletes at Amherst College were “strongly on the four-year track to graduation and seldom waver from that.” Coach Pyne agreed with his colleagues that the recruiting calendar was indeed thrown a nasty curveball by the coronavirus pandemic, but it did not mean a great deal to the process overall. “We use a lot of factors in determining whether a prospect is right for our program,” Pyne said, echoing what Coaches Barese and Rocco had said. “The right fit is what has the most value as far as intangibles, when you have already considered academic achievement, athletic and baseball skills and ability.” Be proactive: Research colleges you are interested in All three coaches urged baseball prospects to be proactive when it comes to pursuing a college baseball future. Researching the colleges they have on their radar and being prepared when an opportunity does arise for interaction between player and recruiting coach goes a long way. “Anyone in our field can identify a good baseball player. It’s what happens afterward which creates a path to that player becoming a valued recruit to our program,” said Merrimack’s Barese, whose WarSPORTS | SEE PAGE 17 Spring! ׉ 7cassandra://9rqCjKHSE8I9jwcFmABH089-1m9EsPAjpHykv95-oJE.m`̰^H|7Rt׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 29, 2020 Page 15 Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE: The House and Senate continued to hold remote sessions with just a few members in the chambers. Most members watched and listened to the debate from their home or business office through their computers and voted via phone. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ votes on two roll calls from the week of May 18-22. There were no roll calls in the Senate last week. $1 BILLION-PLUS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BOND (H 4708) House 149-7, approved and sent to the Senate a $1 billion-plus information technology bond titled “An Act Financing the General Governmental Infrastructure of the Commonwealth.” The state would borrow the funds to finance the projects in the bill. The original version of the package was filed by Gov. Charlie Baker more than a year ago on April 11, 2019.The current version is the handiwork of the House Ways and Means Committee. Members filed 189 amendments to the bill and two of those were withdrawn, the remaining 187 were rolled into a single consolidated amendment that was approved. “This legislation provides authorizations for critical public safety and information technology projects at the state and municipal level,” said Baker in the message he sent along with the original bill. “The projects in the bill will improve the quality, consistency, efficiency and delivery of state services to the residents of Massachusetts, including digital services for healthcare, housing, education, employment assistance, public safety and emergency management, transportation, and energy and the environment.” Hundreds of provisions in the bill include massive state projects including $165 million for state telecommunications and data-security-related equipment; $140 million for the purchase and implementation of information technology, telecommunications and data-security-related items for various state agencies; $1.25 million for information technology upgrades for the House of Representatives; and $100 million for the vague “infrastructure related to governmental performance and efficiency.” And then there are hundreds of local projects successfully sought by individual legislators for their districts including $500,000 for New Bedford’s Buttonwood Park Zoological Society’s infrastructure improvements for the animal ambassador and nature connection education center projects; $61,200 to update the town hall conference room’s streaming technology for the local cable services in Stoughton; $15,000 for Medfield for the implementation of an electronic payroll program; and $1 million for Everett for electronic learning devices for all Everett students and virtual professional development, training and remote learning support for their teachers. “Over the last several months, thousands of public employees have been working from home,” said House Ways and Means Chairman Aaron Michlewitz. “While this has certainly helped us flatten the curve, it has also put tremendous pressure on our information technology infrastructure like the commonwealth has never seen before. We can all share stories from the past couple of months of the difficulties of conducting business in this new environment. These funds will help ensure that employees can continue to work remotely as needed while still providing vital services to our constituents.” “The House’s redraft of Gov. Baker’s…bond bill (proposed over a year ago) increased state borrowing by almost half a billion more than his initial request, to fund lots of add-ons,” said Chip Ford, Executive Director of Citizens for Limited Taxation. “In this period of crisis—both societal and financial, both personal and governmental, with record high unemployment and historic low revenue collections both anticipated and experienced—this is the wrong time to borrow any more than unavoidable for absolutely essential spending. For once, fiscal austerity needs and ought to be considered in the Legislature.” One legislator had mixed feelings. “[The bill] contains critical funding for cyber-security and public safety initiatives at all levels of government,” said Rep. Brad Hill (R-Ipswich). “However, I had strong concerns about the levels of additional borrowing proposed in the consolidated amendment and felt that many of the earmarks were not needed. The state is facing a projected revenue shortfall of $6 billion to $8 billion in next year’s budget, which requires us to engage in a careful balancing act of protecting the state’s bond rating from being downgraded while making sure we can still deliver essential programs and services to the residents of the commonwealth.” “The worst depression in a generation didn’t stop the Massachusetts General Court from borrowing over a billion dollars today,” said Paul Craney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “Despite over one million workers BEACON | SEE PAGE 17 WE WORK FOR YOU! * Have your car repaired by Real Manufacturer Certiified Technicians * An I-CAR GOLD CLASS SHOP Highest Certificate in the Repair Industry * Premier Insurance Co.

We have received a lot more video this year than ever before, and that’s because we did not have a chance to see any of these guys in the spring.” “But we are being positive and expecting there will be good opportunities to see a lot of players later this summer and probably into the fall,” Barese added. “I can’t wait to go spend 12 hours at a ballpark watching a showcase or a tournament and scouting players. I speak for a lot of coaches on that, too.” Both Barese and Rocco agreed that a lot of the most heavily recruited 2021 players have already made verbal commitments, including to their Division 1 and 2 programs, respectively. But both also acknowledged the door is still very much open. Recruiting process will probably go later “This [recruiting] process is defi nitely going to go later than in the past...into the fall BEACON | FROM PAGE 15 Changes To Required Minimum Distribution Rules T he Secure Act (Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement) may very well have the largest impact on retirement accounts since the passage of the Pension Protection Act in 2006. Although the Secure Act did away with the IRA stretch provisions that allowed benefi ciaries to stretch out distributions from the IRA account over their lifetimes, it also increased the age at which IRA account holders are required to take out minimum distributions (RMD’s). Section 114 of the Act increases the age at which an IRA owner or participant in an employer-sponsored retirement plan must begin taking RMD’s from 70 ½ to 72. Participants in 401(k), 403(b) and similar Non-IRAbased employer-sponsored plans will still be able to delay taking RMD’s provided they are still working and meet the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(9). The new required beginning date for taking RMD’s is now April 1st following the year in which the IRA owner reaches age 72. If you choose to take an RMD in the following year on or before April 1st , you will still have to take another RMD in that same year representing the age 73 RMD. This would double up your RMD for that particular year possibly putting you in a higher income tax bracket. Therefore, it might not be to your advantage to defer taking your RMD in the year you actually turn age 72. You might also get hit with IRMAA (Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount) thereby increasing the amount of your monthly Medicare Part A premium. For anyone that actually turned 70 ½ in 2019, the RMD’s still need to be taken in 2020 if not already taken in 2019. The Secure Act does not allow those individuals to delay RMD’s until age 72. The life expectancy tables have not changed under the Secure Act. These are the tables used to determine the amount of the RMD to be taken each year. Some individuals may wish to take more out of their IRA accounts than the RMD’s. Why? For Estate/Medicaid planning in order to transfer assets to children. Parents may also be in a low tax bracket so taking more money out of IRA accounts now might make sense. Income tax rates could increase with future changes in the tax law. Someone has to pay the income taxes on IRA distributions. Sometimes it makes more sense for the IRA owner to pay the tax and not the children. Asset protection is always a consideration as maybe older Americans are very concerned about nursing home placement and do not have long-term care insurance. They are looking to transfer assets out of their name sooner than later. Joseph D.

Countless brick and mortar retail shops, restaurants and lodging destinations have been forced to keep their doors shut. Instead of focusing on these worthy concerns, our Statehouse leaders dug up something from last January’s to-do pile and secured their own future during an election year.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul DonatoYes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes $101 MILLION CONSOLIDATED AMENDMENT (H 4708) House 138-18, approved a consolidated amendment adding $101 million to the cost of the $1 billion-plus information technology bond. Members fi led 189 amendments to the bill, but none were voted on individually. Two amendments were withdrawn by their sponsors and the other 187 were rolled into this one big consolidated amendment. 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 and probably early winter,” Barese said. “We encourage players to stay active and continue what they are doing.” All three coaches encouraged baseball prospects to contact coaches of schools they are interested in, particularly schools they researched to determine if they, the players, appear to be a good fi t for that school. Videos of any kind are also acceptable, whether it’s a workout or game fi lm. “Just use your heads, though,” Coach Pyne advised. Amendment supporters said the projects and provisions in the amendment were important items. They noted there is nothing wrong with these local earmarks where members propose including in the bill worthwhile projects in their districts. Amendment opponents said many of the earmarks are not urgently needed. They pointed to the state’s projected revenue loss of up to $8 billion in next year’s budget as a result of diminishing income tax revenues during COVID-19 when the Bay State moved the tax return fi ling deadline from April 15 to July 15 in addition to the loss of sales tax and other revenue as a result of business shutdowns. They noted that state tax collections dropped in April by more than $2.3 billion compared to April 2019. (A “Yes” vote is for the $101 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul DonatoYes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes “The backwards-hat-wearing kid who uses the language he uses with friends that’s not fi t for public ears is not going to help himself at all. Be smart about what you are projecting when sending a video.” “Stay positive,” Coach Rocco said. “There is absolutely a spot for everyone at the college level for players who want to work to get better, are coachable and are willing to work in the classroom. You just have to keep searching to fi nd that right match.” that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and 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.

We would like to fi nd out if our diabetes increases our risk of getting the coronavirus. Concerned Diabetics Dear Concerned, Currently, there’s not enough data to show that people with diabetes are more likely to get coronavirus (COVID-19) than the general population. But the problem for diabetics is, if you do happen to contract the virus, your chance of developing serious complications are much higher. This is especially true if your diabetes isn’t well-controlled. Here’s what you should know. Diabetic Risks Health data is showing that about 25 percent of people who go to the hospital with severe COVID-19 infections have diabetes. One reason is that high blood sugar weakens the immune system and makes it less able to fi ght off infections. Your risk of severe coronavirus infection is even higher if you also have another condition, like heart or lung disease. If you do get COVID-19, the infection could also put you at greater risk for diabetes complications like diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which happens when high levels of acids called ketones build up in your blood. Some people who catch the new coronavirus have a dangerous body-wide response to it, called sepsis. To treat sepsis, doctors need to manage your body’s fluid and electrolyte levels. DKA causes you to lose electrolytes, which can make sepsis harder to control. How to Avoid COVID-19 The best way to avoid getting sick is to stay home as much as you can. If you have to go out, keep at least 6 feet away from other people. And every time you come back from the supermarket, pharmacy or another public place, wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds. Also wash your hands before you give yourself a fi nger stick or insulin shot. Clean each site fi rst with soap and water or rubbing alcohol. To protect you, everyone in your house should wash their hands often, especially before they cook for the family. Don’t share any utensils or other personal items. And if anyone in your house is sick, they should stay in their own room, as far as possible from you. The CDC also recommends that you stock up on medications and diabetes testing supplies to last for at least a month. The same goes for grocery supplies and other household necessities. Also know that Medicare is now covering the cost of telehealth visits, so if you have questions for your doctor, you can ask by video chat or phone instead of going into the offi ce. If You Get Sick The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are a dry cough, fever, or shortness of breath. If you develop any symptoms that are concerning, call your doctor about getting tested. If you fi nd that you have contracted COVID-19, the fi rst level of care is to stay home and check your blood sugar more often than usual and check your ketones too. COVID-19 can reduce your appetite and cause you to eat less, which could aff ect your levels. You also need more fl uids than usual when you’re sick, so keep water close by, and drink it often. You should also know that many over-the-counter medicines that relieve virus symptoms like fever or cough can aff ect your blood sugar levels one way or the other. So, before you take anything, check with your doctor. Be aware that if you start experiencing severe shortness of breath, high levels of ketones or DKA symptoms like severe weakness, body aches, vomiting or belly pain, you need to see your doctor or get to an emergency room right away.

Despite the impact of COVID-19 on daily life in Massachusetts and beyond, Northeast Metro Tech has continued to work its way through the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) design process as it continues its efforts to replace its current building. Through close collaboration with owner’s project manager PMA Consultants, which the school retained last fall to oversee all facets of the project, as well as Waltham-based architectural firm Drumney Rosane Anderson (DRA). Northeast Metro Tech has now begun a feasibility study, which is the third phase of an eight-phase MSBA process. PMA Consultants is a national construction management, scheduling and project controls group that has worked on 45 MSBA projects so far, while DRA has designed seven technical high schools in the last seven years. Throughout the feasibility study, the team will evaluate all available construction options, including renovating the existing school to code, additions or renovations, and new construction. Those options will be evaluated against a variety of criteria, including cost, but also on each one’s ability to satisfy the district’s educational plan with projected enrollments. The feasibility study concludes with the project team selecting the single most appropriate option and seeking MSBA approval to advance. The feasibility study also includes in-depth analyses of the existing building, as well as impacts of construction on the environment, traffic and other factors. While its initial schedule remained attainable, the project team has elected to extend its time frame slightly in the wake of COVID-19 in order to maximize public outreach through the key design phases, as in-person meetings have had to be replaced with virtual ones. “A critical piece of making this process as successful as possible REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 Paulding, Brian Talwar, Hakikat R Atack, Thomas Zheng, Yan Huang, Chaorong Perlera, Mario Su, Tao T Ram, Daniel Kelsey, Michael J BUYER2 Paulding, Cayla Deb, Paramita Bartlett, Melissa Hall, Tyler J Perlera, Ana Chan, Qinfei Cao, Shiliang A Ashour, Marisa S SAUGUS SELLER1 Hui, Carrie K Korba, Alec Invernizzi, Steven R Breau FT Yang, Da H Jo Jo Properties LLC Mclaughlin Malden RT Mclaughlin, Robert Macy, Farrah M Adam B Rosen LT Macy, Algert R Spector, Robin SELLER2 Mingalone, Tyler F Breau, Darlene F Jiang, Xue Z is ensuring that all of our stakeholders are involved throughout,” Superintendent DiBarri said. “We want to settle on a final project that will fulfill the needs of students for decades to come, and in order to that to happen the design process needs be both thoughtful and inclusive.” On Aug. 14, following several planned School Building Committee meetings, the team will submit its Preliminary Design Program to the MSBA. That submission will incorporate feedback on the early-stage options that will be shared during meetings throughout the summer. The submission in August will include consideration for more than 20 different construction and enrollment scenarios, as well as 12 preferred options. It will be followed in January 2021 by a Preferred Schematic Report that will outline the most desirable option identified by the project team. Next February, the project team will seek MSBA approval to move to the schematic design phase, before working to advance through additional modules over the course of 2021. Ultimately, if the project earns MSBA approval and funding, the communities Northeast Metro Tech serves will be called upon to contribute a portion of the remainder of the project’s budget. All stakeholders will be able to remain informed about the progress of the project via a dedicated website, northeastbuildingproject.com.
