Malden rallies for reforms to end racism in city schools
C
By Barbara Taormina
alls for racial equity in the
cityâ€™s school district continued
this week with a rally
early Monday morning in
front of Malden High. Malden
Community Organizing for Racial
Equity (MaldenCORE), with
support from the NAACP Mystic
Valley Branch, planned the
rally to coincide with a meeting
of teachers and administrators
who were at the high
school at 7 a.m. for their first
meeting of the new school
year. MaldenCORE members
and others who spoke at the
rally focused on a slate of reforms
aimed at ending systemic
racism within city schools
and providing support to students
and teachers of color.
MaldenCORE is demanding
that the district hire more
teachers and staff of color to
reflect the diversity of the cityâ€™s
students. The group has continually
highlighted the disparity
between the districtâ€™s
teachers, nearly 90 percent of
whom are white, and the students,
67 percent of whom are
Asian, African American or Hispanic.
â€œTeachers
are meant to be
role models, but I never had
ger or a click of a mouse, but
it takes time,â€� said Councillor-at-Large
Stephen Winslow,
who spoke at Mondayâ€™s rally.
Winslow said the problem is
that the pool of educators of
color is smaller than the demand
for them. â€œWe need to
inspire more people of color
to go into education,â€� he said,
inviting those at the rally to
think about what they could
do to help.
MaldenCORE is also calling

in Malden schools.

a role model who looked like
me,â€� said one Malden student
who spoke at Mondayâ€™s rally.
Over and over, students have
described going through the
Malden school system without
ever once having a class
with a Black, Asian or Hispanic
teacher. Many said their education
in city schools would
have been dramatically different
if there had been teachers
who understood them on
a linguistic, cultural and social
level.
5th Annual Fairy House Festival at
Pine Banks Park a great success
Last year, Lorna Closeil, a
member of Malden Highâ€™s
Class of 2010, attended a
school committee meeting
and shared her story about
how her life was changed by
her relationship with Jennifer
Hedrington, a Haitian American
math teacher at Salemwood
School. Closeil said she
was struggling academically
and constantly in and out of
in-house suspension, but connecting
with a teacher from a
similar background who understood
her experiences
helped her change track.
â€œI was able to shift my
self-concept as a troubled
student to one that reaffirmed
my ability to be a leader in and
out of the classroom,â€� she said,
adding that diversity without
inclusion is not only ineffective,
itâ€™s damaging.
MaldenCORE members acknowledged
school administrators
have made some progress
in diversifying the districtâ€™s
staff, particularly among
the districtâ€™s administrators,
but they want more teachers
of color to be recruited, hired
and retained.

Upcoming library lectures explore Malden
and Massachusetts shoe industry
A
s part of its continuing
series Converse 2020, the
Malden Public Library will be
present two lectures exploring
the shoe industry in Massachusetts
and Malden.
On Saturday, September 7 at
2:00 p.m., join us for â€œBest Foot
Forward: The Shoe Industry in
Massachusetts,â€� a fascinating
lecture by Anna Fahey-Flynn
of the Boston Public Library.
At the end of the nineteenth
century, Massachusetts was
at the heart of the American
shoemaking industry. Fahey-Flynn
will explore the history
of the shoe industry in
Massachusetts with a special
focus on her hometown. Fahey-Flynn
is the exhibit organizer
for the Digital Public Library
of Americaâ€™s online exhibition
on the Massachusetts
shoe industry. Fahey-Flynn
will discuss the resources

archives and historical
societies across the state.
On Monday, September 9
at 6:30 p.m., join us for â€œHeart
and Sole: The Lives of Malden
Factory Workersâ€� presented

Malden Superintendent of Schools John Oteri, NAACP Mystic Valley
Branch President Zane Crute and Malden Education Association
President Deb Gesualdo voiced their support for efforts to
establish racial equity in Malden Schools.
Councillor-at-Large Stephen Winslow urged those at this weekâ€™s
rally to consider how they can help increase the number of educators
of color who are in high demand not only in Malden, but
in school districts throughout the country.
MaldenCORE is calling for more teachers of color to reflect the diversity
of the cityâ€™s student population. A study from John Hopkins
University found that African-American students who have
one black teacher in elementary school are much more likely to
graduate from high school and continue on to college.

the n-word. Students said that
teachers seemed unprepared
or at a loss on how to handle
these incidents of racism, so
they were often ignored.
In addition to calling for anti-racism
training, MaldenCORE
is asking the district to
appoint a person who will hear
complaints involving racism
and discrimination from students
and teachers and ensure
that policies against racism
are followed. MaldenCORE
has also called for the districtâ€™s
curriculum to be expanded to
include classes that focus on
history and culture that reflects
the ethnic and racial diversity
of the students.
MaldenCORE Cofounder Erga Pierrette leads the organizationâ€™s
rally for racial equity in city schools.

Commission delays demolition of American Legion Post
By Barbara Taormina
P
lans to build a co-housing
development at 368 Pleasant
St. will be delayed for up
to 12 months so that the owners
and the city can consider
alternatives to demolishing
the existing building. Bay State
Commons, a group of individuals
and families, bought the
former American Legion Post
three years ago with the intent
of creating a co-housing project
with 30 individual condos built
around shared interior and exterior
space. But the plan calls
for razing the existing building,
which the cityâ€™s Historical Commission
has determined is historically,
socially and architecturally
significant and should
be preserved for the benefit of
the public.
The cityâ€™s Demolition Delay
Ordinance gives the Historical
Commission the authority to put
a demolition permit on hold for
up to a year while owners consider
alternatives to preserve or
sell the property. This week, the
commission voted unanimously
to start the 12-month delay
clock ticking.
â€œI must say I think itâ€™s our duty
to maintain this ordinance,â€� said
Commission Member John Tramondozzi.
â€œThis building should
be preserved as much as possible.â€�
Commission
members agreed
that the building checked all
the boxes of a â€œpreferably preservedâ€�
building. Built in 1864
as one of several large suburban
estates that lined Pleasant
Street, the buildingâ€™s age, its location
in an area with other historical
buildings, its place in local
history and its use first as a
single-family home and later as
an American Legion Post make
it historically, culturally and socially
significant. Commission
members also agreed that the
building has exterior and interior
architectural features that
also make it a candidate for
preservation.
At a public hearing on the
demolition permit, members of
Bay State Commons, architects
designing the new co-housing
building and members of the
community who support the
project acknowledged that the
building is historically significant
because of its past. However,
they stressed that the buildingâ€™s
interior is not viable for the
co-housing project and many of
the buildingâ€™s 19th-centuy details
and characteristics have
been lost to time, alterations
and damage making it a poor
candidate for preservation.
But local historian Frank Russell
said the buildingâ€™s gables,
floor-length windows and entryway
granite steps are among the
buildingâ€™s original features that
still exist. â€œIf the vinyl siding were
to be removed, the exterior restored,
the brackets put back under
the eaves, from my conversations
with the state historical
commission, this building would
be eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places
as having local significance,â€�
Russell told the Commission.
â€œThere is enough here that can
be preserved and brought back,â€�
he added.
Commission members agreed
that they are primarily concerned
with preserving the historical
characteristics of the exterior
of the building. Tramondozzi
said the Commission has
worked with other property
owners to restore original characteristics
of the facades of older
buildings.
â€œWe want to work with people
and preserve as much as we can,â€�
he said. â€œItâ€™s a matter of money,
and I realize that but, and I hate
to say it, but money is not our
consideration. We want to preserve
the building.â€�
Commission Chair Barbara
Tolstrup stressed that the demolition
delay is not a 12-month
waiting period that will eventually
end with demolition of the
building. She, and other commission
members, said repeatedly
that they want to work with
Bay State Commons to find a
way that the buildingâ€™s original
exterior can still be seen in the
co-housing projectâ€™s design.

Vacation
Memories
By Virginia Ruane
I
am back writing again! I did not
go anyplace special, but took off
June, July and August. Just what I
needed! Now, it is over, and Iâ€™m revived.
The time just flew by.
I did not take my usual summer
vacation to Squam Lake in New
Hampshire. Do you remember the
movie â€œOn Golden Pondâ€�? Squam
Lake is where this movie was filmed.
Thatâ€™s where my family spent two
weeks every year. We rented a cottage
right on the lake. We shared it
with my brother and his wife and six
children. Along with the five of us,
it seems like a lot of people in one
cottage, but it was fine. Our families
shared this vacation time together
for over 40 years.
Sixty years ago, when we first
rented, we paid $42 a week. This
year my nephew rented the same
cottage, and the rent was $1,800
for one week. The water and the
peacefulness are just as I remembered
it. Of course there were some
changes made â€“ like a new second
bathroom with a shower, running
well water and a modern kitchen.
All these things made a big difference.
Even without the improvements,
we had a wonderful time
with great memories.
Do you ever have a memory of a
trip you wanted to take some time
in your life and you never went
there? Something in your life always
came up, and you just could
not get there.
Well I did. I always wanted to go
Hawaii and never got there, and
now it is too late. Iâ€™m too old (94).
During World War II, my husband
was in the Navy and stationed in
Maui, Hawaii. It was right after
Pearl Harbor. Thank the good Lord
I did not know him then as I would
have been worried sick. He loved
Hawaii: the weather, the music, everything.
He talked about it to me
all the time. But I never got to see
these wonders.
After we were married, our life
was too busy to think of trips. The
children always needed something
or the house needed work. Other
than Squam Lake we did get to
take some vacations together. We
went to Jamaica, Ireland, Bermuda
and Barbados, but we never quite
made that trip to Hawaii.
My advice to you is: Donâ€™t wait!
Find the time to take that trip you
have always dreamed about. I do
remember the days of Squam Lake,
and the happy times we all had. I am
grateful for those memories. But I
still never made that trip to Hawaii.
Well, my vacation is over and
I am back at the computer. I am
glad to share my experiences with
you. Please enjoy the remainder of
the summer and look forward to
the fall, cool, crisp days and colorful
leaves.

Habitat for Humanity construction
offers affordable home ownership
H
abitat for Humanity is very excited
to be building homes
in Malden. Ground was broken recently
on the first two units of an
eight-unit development on Main
Street opposite Pine Banks Park.
Two single-family homes are under
construction with a six-unit townhome
building to follow shortly.
Homesteader families have been
chosen, one from Malden and
the other from Everett, for the first
phase and are currently working
on their required 300-hour â€œsweat
equityâ€�.
Habitat for Humanityâ€™s ability to
provide local opportunities is significantly
improved by the support
of the Greater Malden community.
That support comes from every corner:
residents, businesses and other
nonprofits in terms of volunteers,
building supply and services as well
as financial contributions.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATEâ€“Friday, August 30, 2019
Residents invited to help choose
Maldenâ€™s new logo
C
ouncillor-at-Large Debbie
DeMaria recently rolled
out an initiative that involved
high school students in the creation
of a brand-new logo for
the City of Malden. This was
not an effort to replace the official
City seal, which remains
unchanged. The thinking was
that with so much happening in
Malden, including the complete
transformation of the downtown,
which will soon include a
new City Hall, Malden is on the
move! Although Maldenâ€™s history
and foundation are crucial aspects
of who we are, a new logo
offers a fresh vibrant new look.
The image will be used on a variety
of printed materials as well
as online and will help market
new initiatives within the city
government.
DeMaria worked with the
Mayorâ€™s Office through Communications
Director Ron Cochran
to reach out to all of Maldenâ€™s
high schools and engage
them in the project. They later
held several meetings with
students from Malden Catholic
High School and Malden High
School as well as members of
the Malden Historical Commission;
then for several months
the participants identified what
Malden means to them and
how they view our community.
Simultaneously, a local resident
graphic designer/artist, Busha
Husak, was commissioned
to capture their ideas to help
form the new logo. The City of
Malden now invites residents
to participate in the voting process
to select one of the four
logo designs by visiting https://
www.cityofmalden.org/665/
Malden-Logo-Project. A description
of each design is provided.
The voting period will close on
September 16 at noon. Shortly
thereafter the results will be announced.

tinued transformation of Malden
center.
â€œIt is fast becoming a destination
for engaging and unique
experiences,â€� said Silk. â€œThese
locally owned establishments
will add enormous value for
not only the future residents of
J Malden Center, but also for the
city and surrounding communities
as well.â€�
Those who have been waiting
and watching as the pieces
of the J Malden Center fall into
place have been buzzing about
the two new businesses for the
past month.
Malden Center Fine Wines will
be the third location for owner
Chris Lianos, who also owns
Ball Square Fine Wines in Somerville
and Needham Center Fine
Wines in Needham. The selection
of wines at the Ball Square
shop covers a wide range of
tastes, and customers can pick
up a bottle of Abigail Rose Sauvignon
Blanc 2018 for $10 or a
bottle of Chateau Margaux 1990
for $1,200. According to Silk,
Malden Center Fine Wines will
also feature hard-to-find craft
beers and gourmet foods. The
Somerville shop has a selection
of cheeses, crackers, salsas, salami
and sweets.
J Malden Center will be the
second location for Bit Bar, a
popular Salem bar that found
a winning combination with
alcohol, reimagined pub food
and classic arcade games, such
as Donkey Kong, Pac Man and
Tetris. Launched by a group of
classic game enthusiasts, Bit
Bar is scheduled to open at the
end of the year and will offer patrons
a choice of more than 50
pinball machines and arcade
games and a menu featuring
craft beer, Tetris potato tots, mac
and cheese bytes, burgers, salads
and other casual fare.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE:
There were no roll calls in the
House and Senate last week.
This week, Beacon Hill Roll
Call reports on how often local
senators voted with their
party leadership.
The votes of 33 Democratic
senators were compared
to Senate Majority Leader
Cindy Creem (D-Newton).
The votes of five Republicans
were compared with those of
GOP Senate Minority Leader
Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester).
Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 87
votes from the 2019 Senate
session as the basis for this
report. This includes all roll
calls that were not on local
issues.
Eighteen of the 33 Democratic
senators (54 percent)
voted with Creem 100 percent
of the time.
The Democratic senator
who voted the lowest percentage
of times with Creem
was Sen. Michael Moore
(D-Millbury) who voted with
her 94.2 percent of the time.
None of the five GOP members
voted with Tarr 100 percent
of the time. Two of them
came close. Sens. Vinny deMacedo
(R-Plymouth) and
Donald Humason (R-Westfield)
both voted with Tarr
on all but one of the roll calls.
The GOP senator who voted
with Tarr the lowest percentage
of times is Sen. Patrick
Oâ€™Connor (R-Weymouth)
who voted with him 90.8 percent
of the time.
PERCENTAGE OF TIMES
SENATORS VOTED WITH
THEIR PARTYâ€™S LEADERSHIP
IN 2019
The percentage next to the
senatorâ€™ name represents
the percentage of times the
senator supported his or her
partyâ€™s leadership.
ses represents the number
of times the senator opposed
his or her partyâ€™s leadership.
Some senators voted on
all 87 roll call votes. Others
missed one or more roll call.
The percentage for each senator
is calculated based on
the number of roll calls on
which he or she voted and
does not count the roll calls
for which he or she was absent.
Sen.

HOW LONG WAS LAST
WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon
Hill Roll Call tracks the length
of time that the House and
Senate were in session each
week. Many legislators say
that legislative sessions are
only one aspect of the Legislature's
job and that a lot
of important work is done
outside of the House and
Senate chambers. They note
that their jobs also involve
committee work, research,
constituent work and other
matters that are important
to their districts. Critics
say that the Legislature does
not meet regularly or long
enough to debate and vote
in public view on the thousands
of pieces of legislation
that have been filed. They
note that the infrequency
and brief length of sessions
are misguided and lead to
irresponsible late-night sessions
and a mad rush to act
on dozens of bills in the days
immediately preceding the
end of an annual session.
During the week of August
19-23, the House met for a
total of 17 minutes while the
Senate met for a total of 17
minutes.
Mon. Aug. 19 House 11:05 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.
Senate 11:11 a.m. to 11:20 a.m.
Tues. Aug. 20 No House session
Wed. Aug. 21 No House session
Fri. Aug. 23. No House session

Thurs. Aug 22 House 11:03 a.m. to 11:10 a.m.

Savvy Senior
Is Pet Insurance a Good Idea
for Seniors on a Budget?
Dear Savvy Senior,
I own two dogs and a cat that I would do almost anything for,
but expensive veterinary bills put a strain on my budget. Is pet insurance
a good idea?
Dear Pet Owner,
If youâ€™re the kind of pet owner
who would do anything for their
furry family, including spending
thousands of dollars on medical
care, pet insurance definitely
is an option to consider. Hereâ€™s
what you should know.
Rising Vet Costs
The cost of owning a pet has
gone up in recent years. New
technologies now make it possible
for pets to undergo sophisticated
medical treatments for
many life-threatening diseases,
just like humans. But these
treatments donâ€™t come cheap.
Thatâ€™s why pet insurance has
gotten more popular in recent
years. More than 2 million pets
are currently insured in the U.S.
and Canada, according to the
North American Pet Health Insurance
Association.
How Pet Plans Works
Pet insurance is actually very
similar to human health insurance.
Pet policies typically come
with premiums, deductibles,
co-payments and caps that limit
how much will be paid out annually.
But unlike people coverage,
you usually have to pay the
vet bills in full and wait for reimbursement
from the insurer.
Pet policies vary greatly from
basic plans that cover only accidents
and illness, to comprehensive
policies that provide
complete nose-to-tail protection
including annual checkups
and vaccinations, spaying/
neutering and death benefits.
You should also be aware that
pet policies typically donâ€™t cover
pre-existing conditions, and
premiums are generally lower
when your pet is young and
healthy.
Costs for pet insurance will
also vary by insurer and policy,
but premiums typically depend
on factors like the cost of
veterinary care where you live
and the age and breed of the
pet. The average annual premium
for basic accident and
illness coverage was $516 per
pet in 2017, while the average
claim paid was $278, according
to the pet health insurance association.
Shopping
Tips
Major pet policy providers
include the ASPCA, Embrace,
Healthy Paws, Nationwide, PetFirst,
Petplan and Trupanion.
To help you shop and compare
coverage and costs from pet
insurers, go to PetInsuranceReview.com.
If
youâ€™re still working, one way
to pay lower premiums, and
possibly get broader coverage,
is to buy pet insurance through
your employer, if available. Eleven
percent of employers in the
U.S. offer pet health insurance
benefits, according to the Society
for Human Resource Management,
and these plans are
usually discounted.
Alternative Option
Many animal advocates think
most pet owners are better off
forgoing pet insurance and instead
putting the money you
would have spent on premiums
into a dedicated savings
account to pay for vet care as
needed. Depending on the
policy, pet insurance can cost
$1,500 to $6,000 over the life of
an average pet, and most pet
owners will never spend that
much for treatment.
Ways to Save
If you canâ€™t afford pet insurance
or choose not to buy it,
there are other ways you can
save. For example, many local
animal shelters offer free
or low-cost spaying and neutering
programs and vaccinations,
and some shelters work
with local vets who are willing
to provide care at reduced prices
for low-income and senior
pet owners.
There are also a number of organizations
that provide financial
assistance to pet owners in
need. To locate these programs,
visit HumaneSociety.org/PetFinancialAid.
To
save on pet medications,
get a prescription from your vet
(ask for generic is possible) so
you can shop for the best price.
Medicine purchased at the vetâ€™s
office is usually more expensive
than you can get from a regular
pharmacy or online.
Most pharmacies fill prescriptions
for pets inexpensively, and
many pharmacies offer pet discount
savings programs too.
You can also save by shopping
online at a verified pharmacy
like 1800PetMeds.com, DrsFosterSmith.com
and PetCareRX.com.

OBITUARIES
(Pappas) Harris
Cynthia A.
we are thankful. He was loved by
many who wished life would have
been easier for him. He was a brilliant
man who loved to read
about religion, art and music. He
was a gifted photographer and
gardener. Our father died on August
14, 2019 at 74 years old. We
wish we had more time with him.
Mary E. (Donovan)
Mingo
Of Malden, passed away on August
21, 2019. She was 79 years
old.
Cynthia loved family gatherings
and cooking. She was also a beautiful
singer and loved animals.
Cynthia was the beloved wife of
James Harris. She was the daughter
of the late Peter and Melvina
(Cromwell) Pappas. Cynthia was
the loving mother of Cynthia Harris,
Christine Hardy, and the late
William Harris. She was the dear
sister of Peter Pappas, Mary Mullen,
and the late Spencer and Harry
Pappas, Lillian Homer, Sophie,
George, Marion, and John Pappas,
and Josephine Hampton.
Cynthia was the cherished grandmother
of James Harris, John Hardy,
Elyssa Hardy, and Emily Hardy,
and great grandmother of Payton
Hardy. She is also survived by
many nieces and nephews.
Roy Wesley Liddell
Born Dec. 30, 1944 in Brunswick,
ME to Helen Maynard and James
Schworm and later adopted by
Helen's second husband Kenneth
Liddell. Roy grew up in Malden
and is survived by his two sisters,
Dottie Jean Holmgren and Nancy
Liddell Sparkman and a brother
K.C. Liddell, as well as many nieces
and nephews. He will be
missed tremendously by his two
daughters, Laureen Hadley and
Jennifer Noble and his four grandchildren,
Olivia Slifer, Juliet Hadley,
Gabriel Noble and Bella Noble.
Roy was married to our mother
Joy Sacramone for a short time
but they remained close throughout
his life. They were great
friends and cared deeply for one
another. He married for a second
time to the late Elaine Trembly
and they lived together in Lynn.
Roy struggled with addiction for
most of his adult life, but was sober
for some of the most important
times in our life and for that
A resident of Holyoke and formerly
of Malden and Stoneham, passed
away peacefully at Day Brook Village
Center Nursing on Wednesday,
August 21, 2019, at age 98.
Mary was born in Malden on
April 30, 1921, one of seven children
of the late John and Beatrice
(Prowse) Donovan. Raised in Malden,
Mary graduated from Malden
High School, Class of 1939,
and worked as a bookkeeper in a
local dental office for many years.
In February of 1942, she was married
to William T. Mingo at St. Joseph's
Church in Malden. As the
wife of a B24 bomber pilot during
WWII, Mary traveled the country
at the beginning of their marriage,
before returning to Malden
to raise three children.
Mary was a strong, selfless woman
who raised three young children
after the loss of her husband
at an early age. A dedicated and
caring mother, Mary always welcomed
family and friends with
an open heart and a warm meal
to her house for the holidays and
family events. Her home in Malden
served as a gathering place
for generations of family and she
was always baking her famous
apple pie, chocolate chip cookies
and hermit cookies for all. Later in
life, as her mother grew older, she
served as caretaker and supportive
daughter with the help of extended
family. A Gold Star wife,
Mary carried her love for Bill in her
heart forever.
In her free time, she enjoyed playing
cards, especially bridge, canasta
or just "go fish" with her
grandchildren. With a love for
words, she was an avid reader, and
enjoyed playing scrabble with her
family. She also enjoyed traveling
to Florida, going on bus trips with
family, and going out to eat.
Mary will be greatly missed, but
her strong will, and determination
that supported and shaped the
lives of her children and grandchildren
will carry on as her legacy.
The
Mingo family wishes to extend
their warm thanks and appreciation
to the staff of Day
Brook Village (formerly Loomis
House) for their care and concern
over the last several years.
Mary was the beloved wife of
the late William T. Mingo with
whom she shared 23 years of
marriage. Devoted mother of
William T. Mingo and his wife
Paula of Brooklyn, NY, Kathleen
M. Albert and her husband
James of Holyoke, and John R.
Mingo and his wife Ruth of Billerica.
Predeceased by her siblings,
John "Jack" Donovan, Ethel
Donovan, Beatrice Hawkes, Walter
Donovan, Marguerite Armstrong,
and William Donovan.
