Mark Bernstein Advocate Staff Report M ark Bernstein has been waking up each morning to news of the war in Ukraine. A little more than a week ago, it occurred to him that he could do a little thing to help a little: I got in touch with a pizza place in Kharkiv and ordered 10 pizzas for a bomb shelter. In the next day or two, Bernstein and friend J. Scott Johnson built pizzaForUkraine.com, a website where anyone can order a pizza for Kharkiv bomb shelters, emergency rooms, fire houses and police stations. “We Little girls are shown holding pizza at the Derzhprom train station, where residents are seeking shelter from the bombing. $3 yd. Just some of the hundreds of children eating pizza in the train station bomb shelter some from Australia, Malaysia, England and Germany. It’s all volunteer, and very simple.” Bernstein cited the courage of the pizza crews as an inspiration. “Kharkiv is about 25 miles from the border,” he said. “Bombs, rockets and shells fall day and night. Hot pizza isn’t much, but it’s not nothing. It’s an honor to be able to help a little.” According to the website, 273 pizzas have been delivered. Pizza delivery drivers in bullet-proof vests with just a few grateful children at the Derzhprom train station in Kharkiv, Ukraine batch the orders and send them each day to two Kharkiv pizza places,” said Bernstein. “More than 100 donors have come forward – many from Malden, but Kharkiv families are shown grabbing slices of pizza at the Derzhprom train station. ׉ 7cassandra://UyOr6iZi0nMwNG_uyfws7Ft--dWl_mD5tZTW_noBspg2`̰bj;5sabj;5sa PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://NIHME3Q-jztpAIDrWfYQWKkeNI29BLo3pVJgs3Svua4g`)׉ 7cassandra://FdwZL-r-QvMaMS1i1m6rmoADpMI1CdY41J5OP7aCf20͝`J׉ 7cassandra://DzbzxoAskrFKITctmMwhsha6wq122b9r-MXhK_zprgc. `̰׉ 7cassandra://z77H3pDIAH94KRdR6GqkbeF2GXnUQKZiBrCBBBVkzFc۟͠bj?5saט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://uAKOLBa6KsbM3tIQY6VIcqTa8heDRQnOvkELvOREDd0-`)׉ 7cassandra://Fs12rZ5xVXnNJKs1mkkx9lx9TOkj4NflDDmgn4p32qQ͕`J׉ 7cassandra://ZK8pr4Eykw93PevszQV0YN9gHy0K_dou6n4Lj9mdil4*`̰׉ 7cassandra://zthJVlU7hV7QxbW1t-zhaPmilZqC9dEQ1W0wwZx8AOg"͠bj?5saנbj?5sa 9ׁH"http://www.eight10barandgrille.comׁ ׁ Јנbj?5sa\k9ׁHhttp://WWW.MACKEYBROWNLAW.COMׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 4 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 29, 2022 Mayor, Councillors partner for successful Earth Day clothing drive L ast Saturday, Mayor Gary Christenson partnered with Ward 8 Councillor Jadeane Sica and Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora to conduct a clothing drive in honor of Earth Day. Residents dropped off more than 3,600 pounds of clothing and textiles to have recycled by the City of Malden’s textile vendor, Helpsy. Not only was keeping these materials out of the waste stream an environmental win, but proceeds from the recycled materials are put directly back into the Malden Public Schools. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), more than 84 percent of these types of items end up in a landfi ll or an incinerator. On average, that works out to about 85 pounds per person each year. As a result, textiles make up more than six percent of all the residential and municipal trash in the United States.

I’m talking about the Academically Enriched and Advanced Program (AEAP), which has been in existence for many years. The program has experienced challenges recently with changing administration, a lack of clear oversight, and removal of bussing, but these concerns can (and should) be addressed as part of policy and shouldn’t overshadow the benefi ts of the program. Why is this program important? Let’s say you’re in third grade but performing at a fi fth grade level. Sure, you may get good grades and sail along, but after a few years of being taught concepts you already know, frustration sets in. Your love of learning fades as you never push the bounds of what you know into the learning zone. The lack of challenge can lead to behavioral issues, anxiety, or the feeling that school is not for you. There are long-term effects of not being challenged as well. How prepared will you be to overcome obstacles later in life if you never had to manage your time, leverage study techniques, solve problems, and be resourceful? The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has recently acknowledged that their historic hands-off approach to these programs may need to change. A report commissioned by DESE concludes that Black, Hispanic, and low-income students are hurt the most when advanced programs aren’t offered. Malden’s AEAP program is exceptional in that it benefi ts diverse and low-income students. Privileged families will fi nd ways to help their kids when public schools don’t. As for the rest, the six hours they attend public school is their only hope to exercise their potential. Even after-school programs are not accessible for the many children who must care for their siblings while their parents work. The AEAP program here in Malden is putting us on the map as innovators among other cities and towns in Massachusetts where programs like these are PROGRAM | SEE PAGE 20 cityofmalden.org/textiles or by calling 800-244-6350.

The licenses already approved are for Misty Mountain, which is renovating a building at 323 Commercial St., near the intersection with Medford Street for future operations and Standard Naturals, which is near completion of construction of a new building at 7 Linehurst Rd. The Linehurst Road building is located next to Kappy's Liquors on Route 1. The owners of the new marijuana retailer are the owners of Kappy's. A special permit for a new marijuana retailer at 36 Charles was approved, 9-1, by the Malden City Council. The newly-approved special permit for DMS Trinity at 36 Charles St. would signal future plans for the transformation of an existing building at 36 Charles St. to a marijuana retail establishment. The building is now occupied by T&J Automotive, which operates an automotive repair and service business at the site. According to Attorney Roberto DiMarco, who is representing DMS Trinity, T&J Automotive, a longtime Malden business, would be relocating to another site in the city which has already been determined, contingent on the marijuana retail special permit being approved. Most of the discussion and the expressed sentiments, for or against the new establishment centered on traffic impact and, related, parking controls. Attorney DiMarco gave a detailed explanation of the parking plans which identified 8-11 parking spots on site at 36 Charles St. and provisions for as many as 25 in nearby, off-site locations. The offsite parking would be in close proximity, he explained. In the course of the discussion, at the request of Council President Craig Spadafora, included in the granting of the permit was a provision that a formal traffic study be undertaken six months after marijuana retailer opens. Another provision, suggested by Ward 6 Councillor Stephen Winslow, and agreed on by the entire Council, was if the offsite parking spaces were somehow no longer accessible by the establishment, they would have to be replaced by others. The Malden City Council includes, front row, from left, Jadeane Sica (Ward 8), Chris Simonelli (Ward 7), Carey McDonald (at large), Barbara Murphy (Ward 5) and Amanda Linehan (Ward 3). Back row, from left, Peg Crowe (Ward 1), Craig Spadafora (at large, Council President), Karen Colon Hayes (at large), Paul Condon (Ward 2), Ryan O'Malley (Ward 4) and Stephen Winslow (Ward 6). (Courtesy/City of Malden) A third provision, offered by Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe, whose ward includes the new retailer, was that the hours of operation be held to 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. for seven days a week maximum. City Planner Michelle Romero appeared at the request of the Council and related that the Malden Planning Board voted to deny the application, citing the parking numbers, but also informed the Council that the Planning Board suggested the provisions above, if indeed the Council approved the special permit, which it ultimately did. With a third marijuana retail shop, Malden would have more than any other in the region, though not as many as other communities such as some in the central and western parts of Massachusetts.Holyoke has granted 19 provisional licenses and Worcester and Fitchburg, 14 licenses each. Voting in favor of the special permit to allow a third marijuana retailer to open in the city of Malden were Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe, who made the motion to grant it, and Councillors Amanda Linehan (Ward 3), Ryan O'Malley (Ward 4), Barbara Murphy (Ward 5), Stephen Winslow (Ward 6), Chris Simonelli (Ward 7), Jadeane Sica (Ward 8), Councillors at large Karen Colon Hayes and Carey McDonald and Council President Craig Spadafora.

He was courageous enough to take up the challenge. Here is a very small glimpse in the life of a very good friend of ours, Steve Ultrino: What one thing would people be surprised to learn about you? Despite my stockier build, I am a very picky eater (except for milk chocolate). Where would you most like to buy a one-way ticket to? Aruba. What person, alive or dead, would you like to eat dinner with? Well, I would always like to see my father and grandparents again; however, I always wanted to eat with Saint (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta. What’s one song to play to put yourself in a good mood. The song “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran; a bonus if Andrea Bocelli sang along. What is the one piece of advice that most changed your life? A former teacher/Xaverian Brother once told me “The greatest deed is the one in which you have accomplished and not in which you need to talk about.” What one piece of advice would you give your younger self? Learn how to relax; one thing I am not very good at unfortunately. What’s the one thing that keeps you motivated? Helping people/working in the community. What’s the one thing you want to be remembered for? Helping people and community service. Malden is a small, vibrant community with, by any standard of measurement, a bright future.

By Heddie Otete A merican education has focused on one aspect of equity for several decades: on making sure that children who come from disadvantaged backgrounds reach a minimum level of proficiency. There has been some success. However, bright and high-ability students are often neglected, with the assumption that they already know enough or that they will do just fine no matter what. It’s not true. While there is nothing wrong with allocating resources to help students who are struggling to read at grade level, our policy makers should stop neglecting our advanced learners. At the last school subcommittee meeting, some speakers who called in expressed sentiments to the effect that the AEAP program is exclusive and unfair. I disagree. Educating everyone the same is not a good objective at all. These programs are not elitist, especially in a Title I district like Malden and we need to do more than just “close the achievement gap.” In the words of American author Chester Finn, “If America is to remain internationally competitive with other advanced nations; we need to maximize the potential of our top students.” It has been shown that “differentiated instruction” in the classroom is not effective. While a few teachers might be able to pull it off, too often the high-ability students are forgotten or get assigned busy work so the teacher can give more help to the students who are below grade level. On the other hand, separate learning opportunities, where peers are grouped together, as seen in acceleration and enrichment programs in countries like Germany, Canada’s Ontario, Switzerland and Singapore, have been shown to be more effective. Although we tiptoe around this fact, high-ability learners are the most likely to make major contributions to society. They are our future leaders, yet they are rarely pushed to their full potential. What if the high-ability students are from disadvantaged homes, in which academics are not a priority, they aren’t fluent in English or from families that do not have the financial means for tutoring? Equity requires that we develop their untapped potential. We can’t afford to waste it. Like any program, the AEAP is not perfect; it needs attention and to be adapted. But that can be done while the program is still running! As heard from students at the last school committee meeting, the program is creating a positive impact in children’s lives. Instead of ending a program that develops children, why not grow it into all the Malden Public Schools? I’ll be waiting to see if the Malden School Committee will do better by our students.

It began on April 2 and will conclude on May 2. Many residents of Malden practice Islam, including a growing number of students at Malden High School. Each year, as part of their participation and membership of the school's National Honor Society (NHS), individuals and small groups create and follow through on community service projects, This year, a very special project was completed by Malden High senior Jana Elshafey, a group she led along with some classmates. Elshafey's group took a vacant room on the third floor of the Boyle Building next to the office of House Principal Marta Cabral and transformed it into a beautiful Ramadan prayer room for use by MHS students and staff. The prayer room has been widely used and has been a welcome addition to the school, according to MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo. "Many of our students and some staff members observe Ramadan and its traditions," Mastrangelo said. "It was such a thoughtful and respectful idea for Jana and the other NHS members to create and decorate the Prayer Room." Malden High NHS President Jason Ong echoed the sentiment. "We have many cultures and faiths here at Malden High and our school recognizes and honors all of them," said Ong, a senior who will be graduating in June. "It was a great addition to our school for Ramadan and I Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order? Do you have an update Will, Health Care Proxy or Power of Attorney?

The antenna is extremely close to the front of my house and facing directly into my 5-year old daughter’s bedroom. I do not feel comfortable continuing to live in my house if this antenna becomes active, as there is not enough long term research on 5G antennas or their associated risks being this close to young children. As a father, it is my duty to protect my child. In five or ten years, if my child develops cancer, how will I ever forgive myself?Would you want your child or loved one sleeping this close to a 5G antenna given the risks involved? There are plenty of other poles nearby where the antenna would be much further away than a stone’s throw from a child’s head. Unfortunately, there was not enough due diligence done in the selection of the 5G antenna in front of my house. In fact, no one even visited the pole prior to installation! Clearly, the ordinances written by the committee had some flaws, and need to be corrected. The sign on the pole itself, which is just below the antenna, says “Transmitting antenna, radio frequency fields beyond this point may exceed the FCC occupational exposure limit.” That distance is the same distance as the antenna to the front of my house. Verizon confirms the health hazard on the pole itself that the antenna poses a danger to human proximity! My neighbors and I expressed our concerns about this 5G antenna since we learned of it possibly being installed early last year. However, after review, the Public Property Committee, led by Steve Winslow, ignored our concerns and decided to still keep this antenna in its current location. After I saw it being physically installed on the pole in late 2021, I expressed my concerns again to several members of the council. It is also important to note that I never once received proper notification of the antenna going up, because of the “glitch” in the town’s electronic mailing system, whereby only the abutters got notice, not the actual address where the antenna was being installed. The city council has admitted this was a mistake and now my family is in an unfortunate position because we did not have the opportunity to speak up again after our location was added back to the original list. On at least two occasions, other homeowners voiced their concerns to some of the members of the council regarding these antennas and the antennas were subsequently moved. For example, on one of those occasions, from the meeting minutes on Sept 2, 2021, several councilors voted to remove the antenna at 71 Plainfield Ave because it was too close to a small tree. And I quote from the meeting minutes, Councilor Winslow stated “it is fair for the city to ask them to look at another location because trees grow and they are important to the environment and the community and we need to protect them” On another occasion an antenna was moved because a friend of one of the councilors was recovering from cancer, and the resident requested the antenna be moved out of fears of cancer, and the antenna was approved to be moved. So clearly there is precedence to the council voting to move these antennas for a variety of reasons. And in the second case, there was no demand for case studies or any peer reviews to take place regarding radiation. However, at a public hearing a few weeks ago, Councilor Steve Winslow suggested peer review studies ANTENNA | SEE PAGE 21 ׉ 7cassandra://2dLM0CYxDvdwokC8l99lpZmT3fcvczJ9wgL78_hdSUY)6`̰bj;5saǁbj;5saƁ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://uosJAzsy8V2ovZkReo40FfYLJklx703RcXlR9nkw3CMf`)׉ 7cassandra://5EvIvW6EjoOb3w5iA7h33tHWtcVeJQNBCAFt3O0zFi8͎`J׉ 7cassandra://DfmMt3BTprv52jGDTdR-ZLHu9-tAxlp05N61hatmt2A*`̰׉ 7cassandra://E5YTe6Ley7qJ7LG6vcj0lRRpReICzNwXzlRxJOTlwB8o͠bjB5saט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://jjDTAtNdL2Uv9A6NPupMGu9h2KNHTAX2tqQgQGRYSD4)`)׉ 7cassandra://fYdAQnbSfXPfRjuQpkrI3KYpMjZgaq5V5ELMpnhw56o͚\`J׉ 7cassandra://s-RMSNUWpSLWCdyxpjPWpdbEZEb2Whs1ZDWTWeC84JI,`̰׉ 7cassandra://tAP5qz1N0ITk-I5O5jhvN4KA7ZNK8BK64BzVM6-yU78 "͠bjB5sa׉E`Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 29, 2022 Haitian Club Bake Sale Jon Norton on hand for MVES retirement party a great success Jon Norton (center) of the Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) Board of Directors is shown with former MVES CEO Daniel O’Leary (right) during O’Leary’s recent retirement celebration at Anthony’s in Malden.

Despite their well-documented necessity, a distorted view of equity has made it fashionable to tear down programs like ours.

COM den School Committee’s Equity and Opportunity Ad-Hoc Subcommittee held a meeting after 360 consecutive days of inactivity. Following a brief presentation from the superintendent, they voted to dissolve the only advanced learning program available to K-8 students in the city of Malden. The public uproar caused by this unprecedented maneuver was so great that the full committee refused to vote on the matter at their April 4th meeting, sending the matter back for further review. The following weeks saw Right by you. Member FDIC Member DIF teachers, parents, and children come together to save the program. A petition to unpause enrollment garnered nearly 200 signatures. Supporters worked together to bring in statewide experts to help review research and best practices that could enable Malden to be a leader in a state where programs like these are drastically neglected. When it emerged that the administration had not kept up with best practices for enrollment, training, or even basic recordkeeping, parents responded with a concrete list of evidence-based recommendations based on policy research from around the country. Nevertheless, when the subcommittee met on Wednesday, they voted once more to dissolve the program with no discussion of how to improve it, no discussion of research or evidence, and no acknowledgement of the overwhelming preponderance of support from the public. Neither the subcommittee nor district administrators presented any plan to serve these children. Instead of taking responsibility and working to address issues, the district’s own policy failures are being used as fl imsy excuses to throw away a program that serves children who have the right to a rigorous and challenging course of instruction. Challenge is what develops their talents, keeps them from losing interest in school, acting out, and failing to develop the skills and grit that they will need as adults. Malden could be a city on a hill for advanced learners in the Commonwealth. But unless our school committee shows leadership and creativity at its Monday meeting, our city is poised to take a massive step backwards while pointlessly harming a vulnerable student population in the process. Worse than that, we are helping ensure that advanced learners are only served in affl uent school districts like Newton, Brookline, and Lexington, or by parents who can afford expensive private enrichment options. Tell us, where’s the equity in that? ׉ 7cassandra://DfmMt3BTprv52jGDTdR-ZLHu9-tAxlp05N61hatmt2A*`̰bj;5sa׉E THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 29, 2022 Page 13 Coastal Carolina tight end Isaiah Likely to be selected in NFL draft today Former MHS record-setter expected to be first local pro football selectee since 2007 By Jason Mazzilli F or the first time in over a decade, a former Malden High School standout is expected to hear his name called while the National Football League conducts the annual player draft this week. Coastal Carolina tight end Isaiah Likely, a former record-setting Malden High wide receiver and Malden Pop Warner football standout, is projected as high as a second- or thirdround pick in today’s draft. The NFL Draft’s first round was held yesterday and Likely, a 6-4, 245 lb. prospect, has been projected as anywhere from the 40th to 60th pick, depending on what team is selecting. Some draft predictors had Likely being a potential draftee of either of the two New York teams, the Jets or Giants, or even the local New England Patriots. If, as expected, Likely is selected in the draft today, he could be the highest round draftee in Malden High School history and just the third NFL draftee from MHS ever, following former Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl winner, offensive lineman Breno Giacomini, a 2004 Malden High graduate, and Dan Jones, a 1988 MHS grad from UMaine who played for the Cincinnati Bengals for several seasons in the mid-1990s.

Likely was one of the most electrifying players in college football the past two seasons, helping propel the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers into the national spotlight. For the first time in program history, Coastal was ranked in the Top 20 in the 2020 season and this past season, 2021, started off the Top 20 and stayed there for virtually the entire season. Likely attended the Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, and also received an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine. One of the core pieces of Coastal Carolina’s path to the top of their conference, Isaiah Likely didn’t come onto campus as a big name. Likely played three seasons of his high school football career at Malden High School, leading the Golden Tornados to Thanksgiving wins in his freshman, sophomore and junior seasons. He played one season at Everett High. At Malden High, Likely played two seasons under former Head Coach Joe Pappagallo and one under former Head Coach Bill Manchester. Likely also was a standout in Malden Pop Warner football with several stellar seasons. Likely was not heavily recruited out of Everett High following his senior year, and was ranked by 247Sports as a twostar recruit and not ranked nationally. Likely received offers from eight programs, including Bethune-Cookman, Bryant, Central Connecticut State, UMass, Rhode Island, Sacred Heart and Southern Miss. When Coastal Carolina came knocking, it was the only national-level Division 1 offer Likely received, and Former Malden High wide receiver Isaiah Likely hauled in a pass during his junior season in a win over Medford on Thanksgiving Day.

At Coastal, Likely played all 12 games as a true freshman, recording 12 catches for 106 yards (8.8 yards per catch) and five touchdowns, which tied for the team lead. Likely got a bump in playing time in 2019, starting six games in 12 appearances and catching 32 passes for 431 yards (13.5 yards per catch) and five touchdowns, and he was named an All-Sun Belt third team honoree.

If structured as a grantor-type trust, the Trust would be able to sell the home and you would still be able to take advantage of the $500,000 capital gain exclusion on the sale of a principal residence for a married couple ($250,000 for a single person). If the home is sold, the sales proceeds would have to remain in Trust and invested by the Trustee, whether in a certifi cate of deposit, savings account, stock or bond portfolio, etc. The sale of the home does not start the fi ve year look back period all over again. The Trustee may also reinvest the sales proceeds in another principal residence. The net sales proceeds of the home must be used to purchase the replacement home. If the purchase price of the replacement property is much less than the sales proceeds of the home that is sold, the difference would remain in the Trust to be invested accordingly. Typically, the Settlor of the Trust would have the right to receive income generated by the Trust. This income could serve to supplement the Settlor’s living expenses. The income would be distributed to the Settlor and taxed on his or her income tax return. If the Settlor were to go into a nursing home after the expiration of the fi ve year look back period, the Trust principal would be protected. Any net income derived by the Trust would be paid to the nursing home as part of the Patient Paid Amount (PPA), along with social security income, pension ring your home to an irrevocable trust as opposed to directly transferring your home to your children with a reserved life estate, is that the Trust will protect your children in the event of a divorce or civil litigation case against them. If you prefer, you can include a provision in the Trust that one child will serve as Trustee of your other child’s Trust share (and vice versa) or you can include a provision for the appointment of a disinterested Trustee. If a son or a daughter were to predecease you, his or her share would remain in Trust for his or her own children to be administered pursuant to the terms of the Trust. That child’s share would not constitute part of his or her probate estate which involve signifi cant time delays and cost. Furthermore, if your child died prior to you while receiving MassHealth benefi ts after the age of 55, MassHealth would not be able to pursue repayment from the Trust share belonging to your deceased child. MassHealth can only collect against the probate estate. This is another reason why a Trust is far superior than a deed to a child with a reserved life estate. With so many people living well into their 80’s and 90’s, it is not uncommon for a child to die before his or her parents. If that were to happen, the child’s estate would have to be probated as the “remainder” interest in the home was owned by the child at the time of his or her death. As part of the probate process, MassHealth is required to be notifi ed of the probate proceedings. It is at this time that MassHealth will determine if benefits have been paid to the deceased. If so, MassHealth will fi le a claim in probate court in order to seek repayment. Placing the home in an irrevocable Trust would avoid these complications. MassHealth would not be able to lien the home as the home was not given directly to the deceased son or daughter. It was deeded to the irrevocable Trust instead. Joseph D.

Here are a few good places to turn to fi nd these types of trips in the U.S. and abroad. Tour Organizations One of the best places to start is with Road Scholar (RoadScholar.org), which invented the idea of educational travel for older adults in the mid-1970s. The Boston-based organization offers 5,500 learning adventures in all 50 states and 150 countries. You can search for learning adventures by location, interest, activity level and price. Road Scholar also off ers “Choose Your Pace” senior travel tours that allow participants to adjust their level of challenge on a daily basis. And for skip-gen vacations, they off er tours designed specifi cally for grandparents traveling with their grandkids. Another excellent option is Smithsonian Journeys (SmithsonianJourneys.org), a nonprofi t travel group affi liated with the Smithsonian Museum. They lead 350 educational trips a year on every continent that are led by experts from a variety of fi elds — academia, the diplomatic corps, scientists and curators, among others. If you’re seeking more adventure, you may want to consider ElderTreks (www.ElderTreks.com), which off ers 50-plus travelers small-group adventures by both land and sea in more than 100 countries. Their trips center on adventure, culture and nature, letting you get up close and personal with the locals. Academic Travel Another good source for educational trips is colleges and universities. Some of my favorites include Cornell University’s Adult University (SCE.Cornell.edu/travel), which off ers a half-dozen educational trips and courses in the U.S. and abroad, each lasting a few days to a week or more. And Stanford Travel/Study (Alumni.Stanford.edu) that off ers educational travel journeys to more than 80 countries each year. Most college/university trips are led by faculty who share their expertise, along with regional experts and local guides, and you don’t need to be an alumnus to participate. Also check out the Traveling Professor (TravelingProfessor. com), a small-group touring company led by Steve Solosky, formerly a professor at the State University of New York. They offer a dozen or so tours abroad each year and take between 8 and 16 people. Cruising Options If you enjoy cruising, consider Grand Circle Travel (GCT.com), which off ers educational travel aboard small ships, and Naturalist Journeys (NaturalistJourneys.com), which specializes in nature and birding tours. American Cruise Lines (AmericanCruiseLines.com) also off ers more than 35 river and coastal itineraries in the Northeast, Southeast, Pacifi c Northwest and along the Mississippi River. And it has themed cruises (Lewis and Clark, Mark Twain, Civil War, etc.) for people with specifi c historical, literary or other interests.

Each cruise makes one to two port stops a day as the ship winds its way up or down Europe’s most famous rivers like the Rhine, Seine, Danube and Douro. A free sightseeing tour is included at all stops, and special-interest excursions are available for additional fees. Viking off ers tours in the United States too.

This season’s program, which is titled “Lift Every Voice and Sing!” will be a celebration of the joy of music and singing, and it will consist of a varied program of inspirational, popular Broadway and patriotic selections. Admission is free. A portion of the proceeds from the concert program book will be donated to the new Medford Public Library, and concert basket donations will benefit the people of Ukraine. This is actually the concert the groups were in the throes of preparing back in March 2020, when the pandemic hit and brought everything to a screeching halt, and so the theme of the program seems especially appropriate now, after the nearly two years it wasn’t possible for members to come together physically to sing. The chorus is very excited to be able to present it now.

Charter schools and private schools are winning when it comes to challenging our kids; public schools must fi nd a solution. Whether our public school children need help achieving grade level, learning with disabilities, learning fluent English, or fi nding challenge beyond what their current grade instruction can provide, Malden Public Schools must offer appropriately diff erentiated learning opportunities for all students. Let’s make sure there’s accountability in the school district to oversee the program and unpause it immediately so we can enroll those who have missed out over the past two years. Once the program is up and running again, let’s do the work to ensure the program employs best practices from other states and is accessible across the city. If we continue to do nothing, what remains of this critical program will be lost. We owe our high-achieving current and future students this chance to receive the support they require. For many Malden children, past and present, the AEAP program is exactly what they need to realize their true potential. Without it, many never will. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI21P6553EA Estate of: Lorene Harling Date of Death: 05/15/2021 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL ADJUDICATION To all interested persons: A Petition for Formal Probate of Will with Appointment of Personal Representative has been filed by Arlene Sano of Cambridge, MA requesting that the Court enter a formal Decree and Order and for such other relief as requested in the Petition.
