A Man shot by Malden Police after allegedly coming at officer with a knife on May 22 Report: Man, 31, wounded in incident and held until dangerousness hearing this week Advocate Staff Report 31-year-old Malden man – who was shot and wounded by Malden Police after he allegedly came at an offi cer while wielding a knife on May 22 – was held on serious charges pending a dangerousness hearing in court this week. The results of that hearing were not immediately available by Advocate press time. The suspect, Dominique Matthew Long, of Malden, was wounded and sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the incident. He was hospitalized following the shooting. The incident, which took place the morning of Wednesday, May 22, is still under investigation by the offi ce of Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Malden Police. On the day of the incident, Malden Chief of Police Glenn Cronin and DA Ryan confirmed an incident where a man allegedly assaulted and robbed a Malden woman before being shot and wounded by Malden Police on Eastern Avenue in Malden. According to reports, a second woman was threatened with a knife by the same suspect. According to police reports, at www.810bargrille.com approximately 9:15 a.m. Malden Police responded to the area of 260 Eastern Ave. due to a reported disturbance. Upon arrival police located a male – identifi ed as Dominique Matthew Long, 31, of Malden – engaged in an altercation with a woman. That woman and a witness who called 911 alleged that the defendant had a knife. Multiple Malden Police Offi - cers arrived on the scene and verbally engaged with the suspect, according to police reports. The suspect refused to comply with offi cers’ orders to put down a number of items he was carrying, police said. The suspect then dropped his possessions, pulled a kitchen-style knife from his pants pocket and advanced on one of the responding offi cers, according to reports. Police deployed lessthan-lethal Tasers, which were ineff ective. Another offi cer on the scene fi red at the suspect, striking him, according to police reports. The suspect was responsive on the scene and was transported to a Boston hospital. One police offi cer was transported to an area hospital and was later released. The preliminary investigation indicates that the alleged victim, a 43-year-old Malden woman, was walking in the area of Eastern Avenue the morning of May 22 when the suspect allegedly threw a cup at her before striking her in the head with a closed fi st. Reportedly, following the altercation she attempted to record the suspect, at which time the suspect took the victim’s iPad before brandishing a knife. Reportedly, police said the suspect continued to walk on Eastern Avenue and threatened one additional witness with a knife. The woman who had allegedly been assaulted was taken to a local hospital, where she was treated and released. Dominique Matthew Long was placed under arrest and will be charged with armed robbery, assault and battery, three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and intimidation of a witness. No names of any police offi cers on the scene and/or involved in the incident, nor was the name of the police offi cer treated at the hospital following the May 22, have been released, pending the ongoing investigation. This is an open and ongoing investigation being conducted by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Offi ce, the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Offi ce and Malden Police.

In 1953, the Ames Brothers recorded with Hugo Winterhalter’s Orchestra and Chorus their great hit, the German tune “You, You, You.” A year later, the group made another hit, the novelty song “The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane,” which also sold more than a million copies and was a top-10 hit in the UK. Among their other hits were “Can Anyone Explain?”, “Wang Wang Blues,” “I Wanna Love You,” “My Favorite Song,” “My Bonnie Lassie,” “A Very Precious Love,” “Tammy,” “Melodie d’Amour” and “Pussy Cat.” During 14 years, the Ames Brothers recorded more than 40 albums, song titles for movies, eight gold records and 50 U.S. chart entries. In 1958 and 1960, Billboard magazine named them their best vocal group of the year. Forty years later, in 1998, the Ames Brothers were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame. The Ames Brothers regularly participated in different shows. In 1955–1956, on Friday nights, they even had their own 15-minute TV program, “The Ames Brothers Show,” the first syndicated TV show that was aired abroad. Though the brothers were very successful with their smooth voices and variety of styles, from folk songs to rhythm and blues, the new rock era required different songs and manners of singing. Ed’s solo career: acting lessons and “foot in the door” In 1960, Ed was the first to leave the group. As he later Cover of The Ames Brothers’ LP said, “At 30, I found everything stagnant and saw nothing in the future but a repetition of well-painted nothingness.” He wished to try acting. For nearly two years, he studied it at the School of Acting founded by Austrian-American actor and director Herbert Berghof. (Among its alumni are Al Pacino, Liza Minnelli and Barbra Streisand.) Ames also took private lessons with well-known acting coaches Tamara Daykarhanova, Lee Strasberg and Milton Katselas. Strasberg created a unique system of actors’ training and taught Marlon Brando, Paul Newman and Dustin Hoffman. Katselas, his former student, taught, in turn, George Clooney, Michelle Pfeiffer, Gene Reynolds and others. Lessons with these great professionals were invaluable for Ed and helped him in his acting career. However, Ed’s first attempts to find a job as a single performer were unsuccessful. He used every possibility in order to find his way on stage. He even began to make commercials and voice-overs, including one for The Walt Disney Studios. Eventually, his talent, hard work and resilience helped him overcome the obstacles, and he could successfully pursue a theatrical career. He proved the words of Emile Zola: “The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.” As Ed mentioned in 1967, Ed Ames as Don Quixote, singing “The Impossible Ed Ames as Sheriff Thompson Dream” from the musical “Man of La Mancha” “In the beginning, you keep knocking on doors, and after a lot of hard work, you get your foot in the door. Your foot gets squashed from time to time, but Ed Ames as Mingo from the popular TV show “Daniel Boone” the door is partly open. Suddenly you have a hit record, and those doors fly open.” Ed on the theater stage: brilliant roles in drama and musicals This kick-off event happened when, in 1961, he received the HISTORY| SEE PAGE 18 Window Glass & Screen Repair ׉ 7cassandra://YEsNkL54IGu5Jg8vYa8VYkC09z11bD3HYIPX-61v8Zk,`̰fX͵meIfX͵meH PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://hucockDnaFQmRj6Z3x0CHZvsoahyVGoczJegoTqvVF4`)׉ 7cassandra://wh1lzEKJYJXO6UNp0JRilsm8IUch4yfotc0pVp94MRQ͟`J׉ 7cassandra://zgBHBhfvO3Ha7i59_Ba8JHUlxGpjJvv-IHyGmI76PUM.`̰fXͷmekט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://v4KAh8z9Y1k6M7YkT4WBUohLWH5WwyzoB5br4LCaD5cV`)׉ 7cassandra://WsS8QLauBPO0L6IDQ8Hh7H-RTG95CBbu6SU04PP9w7o͙`J׉ 7cassandra://ZTjnHPzaYUDdK-FzosYSaH_DlTINL4iQT5tkSEJkuAg.`̰fXͷmelנfX͸mesU9ׁHhttp://WWW.SABATINO-INS.COMׁ ׁ ЈנfX͸mer b9ׁHhttp://angelosoil.comׁ ׁ ЈנfX͸meqȕj9ׁH$http://Facebook.com/Advocate.news.maׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 4 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 31, 2024 Malden House delegation celebrates passage of landmark veterans legislation House passes legislation increasing state benefits, tax benefits, and modernizing services for veterans O n May 22, 2024, the Massachusetts House of Representatives unanimously passed H.4661, An Act honoring, empowering, and recognizing our servicemembers and veterans – also known as the HERO Act.

Additionally, the bill broadens the definition of a veteran for the purpose of expanding veteran benefits eligibility, and to align it more closely with federal law. Veterans who are current Massachusetts residents will be eligible for benefits, regardless of how long they have resided here. “As we approach Memorial Day, it was crucial for us as elected officials to pass the HERO Act to express our unwavering support and to honor the Commonwealth’s veterans who sacrificed their lives and freedoms for our country,” said State Representative Paul Donato (D-Medford). “This landmark legislation takes important strides in increasing access to critical tax credits and state benefits for veterans and their families, including expanded access to behavioral health treatment centers and increasing the annual annuity paid out to disabled veterans. As one who has had numerous family members serve our country, I’m proud of my House colleagues for prioritizing the passage of this bill to honor our servicemembers and their loved ones.” “From expanding access to Steve Ultrino State Representative behavioral health care to increasing tax credits for businesses that hire veterans, this bill takes much-needed steps to ensure our veterans receive the benefits, resources, and support they deserve,” said State Representative Steve Ultrino (D-Malden). “I am thankful for the work of my House colleagues and particularly proud of the Malden delegation standing together to reaffirm our commitment to honoring our servicemembers and their families.” “I was pleased to vote to pass the HERO Act in the week leading up to Memorial Day, a powerful way to honor those who have died to protect our freedoms, their families, and our veteran community,” said State Representative Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose). “The bill addresses vital quality of life issues and expands access to resources for our veterans. It increases the annuity for disabled veterans and tax credits for businesses who hire veterans; modernizes and increases access to important health benefits, including behavioral health assistance; and allows for veterans to count their military service toward state retirement benefits more effortlessly.

I wrote an article on Jack last year that is still available online that I am very proud of (https:// advocatenews.net/malden/ news/malden-musings-happy-birthday-104-jack-garrity-2/). This time, I feel that my simple words would fall short if I were to eulogize this amazing man, husband and father. In the future I will attempt to do just that, but for now I will let one of his daughters speak, June Garrity Fagan: “The last two weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster. Saying goodbye to our dad was very painful, even though we knew we would lose him one day. I would like to thank my wonderful husband and beloved children for giving me strength and supporting me throughout these difficult days. The outpouring from friends, family, and especially the Malden Fire Department will never be forgotten. Dad would be so grateful, as are we. Dad lives on in our hearts and will remain with us until we meet again one day. We were truly blessed to have him for so many years. You were the best, Dad. Rest well now.” It is said in “Malden Musings”... • Made my morning last week when I ran into one of Malden’s best human beings, darn good hoopsters and Friend of the Levines: Gregory Rogers. I’m at New Deal Fruit Inc in Revere, just got through ordering my “West Ender” (Sausage, Broccoli Rabe, Provolone & Grated Cheese), I turn around and it’s 1986 all over again and Gregory stutter steps by me as he pulls up and swishes another 15-footer over my outstretched arms. Greg graduated When giants walked the earth: Left to right: City of Malden Veteran’s Service Director Kevin Jarvis, former Malden Fire Chief Jackie Colangeli, Jack Garrity, former Malden Police Chief Kevin Molis, Mayor Gary Christenson and former Ward 7 Councilor Neal Anderson. MHS in ’74 and was a BMOC. He was a shining star, becoming a GBL All-Star as a senior. Greg still calls Malden home and whenever he wants non-fake news, he picks up a copy of The Malden Advocate and reads another exciting episode of “Malden Musings.” Great seeing you, Gregory! Please say hello to Cousin Douglas for me. • The “West Ender” was named after the neighborhood in Boston that was bulldozed into oblivion by Rappaport and his gang without regard for the many working-class families that called the West End home for generations. • Enjoying a pleasant walk back in Malden history as I scan a musty old copy of the Blue & Gold Yearbook from the mid 1940s. Malden High School in 1946 was a vastly different place than MHS in 2024 – in many ways – too many to detail here (maybe a future column). World War II was in the rear-view mirror and optimism for the future is a common thread amongst the students’ yearbook comments. Also, I noticed, many of the girls made their own clothes (Americans sacrificing and learning to live frugally during the war years). Loved this under Rita Mucci’s picture: Rita is a senior and lived at 64 Whitman St. (the house right behind Pumpsie’s) and would be around 95 years old if still alive: “The typical bobby-socker is Rita Mucci, a ‘sharp’ dancer and dresser. [Frank] Sinatra will never lack an audience as long as Rita can swoon, nor will smart clothes be lacking as long as she can sew.” If anybody knows/knew Rita, please contact me at the email below. • Never too early to talk San Rock Festa. Friday, August 9, has North End favorites 12 Barz Band (12barzband.com). Saturday, August 10, the immensely popular Wildfire is back (my advice, get there early if you want a seat up front)! Sunday, August 11, has Steve Savio’s Seabreeze during the afternoon hours (after the Procession) and fan favorites the Billy Joel tribute act, Heart Attack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack. Another outstanding weekend of music brought to you by San Rock Society President Joyce Mover, San Rock MVP Anthony Spadafora,and the rest of the gang on the San Rock committee! • I don’t talk about these cats very often when I do my Malden back in the day hoop nostalgia trip, but these guys from the Oak Grove area could flat out play. Underrated and often overshadowed by the Amerige Park popinjays – Scott Hanley, Neal Jones, Larry White, Jimmy DiNitto, Danny Marsinelli, Bobby Foley and Bernie McCole could play on any court in Malden. Just saying... • Bobby Martino has “left the building.” Bobby “Mad Dog” Martino was an Edgeworth legend. Period. If you know, you know. He passed on February 16 but not before living and loving his way through a colorful life, on his very own terms. Always. If you grew up in Edgeworth you knew Bobby or his brothers Ed (Perry) or David or his cousins. A larger-than-life presence in the neighborhood – not soon to be forgotten. • Here is a Malden feast for the eyes & ears brought to you by John Horne: “Great post Peter (Dino’s, the Dream, & Joanne Codi)!

My favorite story of hers from around this time was when she pulled her car out of the driveway and realized she had a fl at tire. She pulled over in front of his house (on Highland Ave) and he happened to be coming out at the same time. She was going to walk home to call for help, but he insisted on changing the tire for her. He absolutely made her day. She was one of his and Extreme’s biggest fans from that day forward and for the rest of her life would never miss an opportunity to extol his virtues and tell everyone why ‘that Gary Cherone is such a nice boy.’ I’ve never had the opportunity to personally thank him for what he did, so I’ll throw it out here on the off chance he happens to see this. Thank you for your kindness, Gary! As much as I love your music (and damn, Six is a great album!) regardless of your career you’ll always be most remembered by me as the neighbor who was there for my mom when she needed help. A great example of old school Malden at its fi nest!” “Sherman, set the Wayback Machine to...” speaking of the 1985 Malden Men’s Recreational Basketball League, here are the top 10 high scorers during the 1984-1985 Winter season at Malden High School: • Amerige Park’s “Big Dog” Danny Meyers at 25.4 ppg. He took everybody on one-on-one – a trail of tears from Amerige to Devir to Linden and all points in between. • Medford’s own Mike McCormack at 25.1 ppg. Smooth and classy – can’t say that about all Medford guys (I kid you, Tom Natola). • Saint Joe’s standout and Cliff Cioffi ’s bestie Dennis Cakert at 22.8 ppg. Dennis was a killer on the court! Friend, or foe, you were just another notch on his leather hoop belt to him. • The pride of Lincoln Park John Stanasek at 21.6 ppg. Stana (like Shawn Brickman) could beat you in his sleep, the best! No debate. • Ray “The Pride of Medford” Buckland at 21.5 ppg. All hail, Ray Buckland! Never saw anybody play the game of hoop so well so eff ortlessly. Rest in peace, our friend. • Salem State alum (NY Knicks’ coach Tom “Thibs” Thibodeau teammate at SS) John Furlong at 20.6 ppg. Fergie was another guy who just got the job done on the court. He’d cut you down no matter what size you were. • Another great Meff a baller: Gerry Martin at 19.2 ppg. Never knew there were that many nice guys from Medford (insert another smiley face)! • The late great MHS Sports Hall of Famer Rod “Puggy” Forbes at 17.6 ppg. Ruthless on the hardwood – nobody better, nobody tougher, nobody smarter! No debate. • City of Malden crossing guard by day, best “Papa” by night Shawn “Big Shot” Brickman at 17.1 ppg. Mini Stana could outshoot you and out tough you also. • Melrose-born via Malden Catholic adopted Devir Park guy Steve Johnson at 14.9 ppg. Smarter, tougher and more talented than you on the court (think Hondo meets Bill Bradley). As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – sad news from John King of the Malden Historical Society: “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joe Cesario, a cherished member of our Society and an indispensable fi gure on our Board of Directors. Joe’s invaluable contributions spanned decades; his commitment unwavering since the inception of the Antique Show committee over 30 years ago. “His dedication knew no bounds as he selfl essly devoted countless hours to enhancing the Society’s mission. From graciously loaning items from his personal collection for our exhibits to delivering captivating talks at our meetings, Joe’s presence enriched our community profoundly. His melodic voice, raised in song to uplift and entertain us, will echo in our memories. “Joe’s absence leaves a profound void within our Society. His legacy of service and camaraderie will endure, yet his presence will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and condolences are with his loved ones during this diffi cult time. —Peter is a longtime Malden resident and a regular contributor to The Malden Advocate and can be reached at PeteL39@aol.com for comments, compliments or criticisms.

When she arrived, the transition was challenging for everyone in her family. Qiaomin – now a Malden resident – was the only family member who was able to speak any English so she took on many of the family responsibilities including caring for her sick grandfather and struggling to act as translator during his medical appointments. Determined to support her parents, who were stuck in low-paying jobs due to their limited English skills, Qiaomin continued to study English at the Asian American Civic Association so she could take on all the family aff airs that involved speaking English. In 2021 Qiaomin was nominated for a First Literacy Scholarship. The scholarship provided her with the funds necessary to pursue her goal of becoming a radiologic technologist. “I was not satisfi ed with where I was when I fi rst came to the United States,” said Qiaomin. “I wanted to dive into a career that I loved, and I could spend my whole life doing. The scholarship made it possible to pursue a career. I bought a laptop that I needed for my studying, and I was able to buy the pricy textbooks for every semester.” Each year, First Literacy, a Boston based nonprofit, awards $1,500 scholarships to recent graduates of Massachusetts Adult Basic Education (ABE) or English language programs who are continuing to vocational training or higher education. Since First Literacy’s Scholarship Program began in 1990, over 600 scholarships have been awarded to adult learners throughout Massachusetts. Awards are given in recognition of educational achievements and potential, community service and perseverance in the face of hardship. Despite some challenging – proof that her determination, positive attitude and hard work paid off . “Times were tough when I arrived in the U.S. with my family,” said Qiaomin. “ I knew that the most important thing was to complete my education and reach my goal – after all the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Qiaomin plans to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists exam in June and will begin working at Brigham and Woman’s Hospital in August. About First Literacy: In 1988 Qiaomin received her diploma from Bunker Hill Community College (Courtesy of First Literacy, Inc.) times, Qiaomin stayed the course and diligently worked towards her degree in medical radiography. On May 23, Qiaomin received her diploma from Bunker Hill Community College a consortium of public and private sector leaders, including Mayor Raymond Flynn and Boston Globe publisher William O.

The Malden High School Varsity Baseball Team has had plenty to celebrate this season – including all the families – together on a recent Senior Night. (Courtesy/Blue and Gold/Shuyi Chen Photo) By Shuyi Chen Malden High Blue and Gold E xpectations have been shattered by the Malden High baseball team this spring. With a now 16-4 record, they were looking to make a state tournament push after breaking their 11-year tournament drought last season. Two seasons ago, the team managed only four wins. However, a strong core of players who have stuck together and persevered has allowed them to elevate each year, winning 11 games in 2023 and now 16 with a 3-0 win over Revere last Friday. The team opened the year with a big win over Salem Academy Charter, who is managed by former Malden assistant Mike Barbati. Somerville handed the Golden Tornados their fi rst loss. After a rebound victory against Chelsea, Malden managed an 8-6 victory over Lynn Classical at Fraser Field, the team’s fi rst win against any Lynn opponent since the pandemic. They then dropped a game to Revere before finishing out the week with a Chris Serino Tournament Championship, handling both Greater Lawrence Tech and East Boston with ease. The next week, the Golden Tornados struggled with two close losses to Lynn English and Medford. Still, they took a big victory over Everett during the stretch. Sitting at 6-4, not many would have guessed what followed. Over the next few weeks, Malden took down all of their GBL opponents, winning 10 straight games, including league champions Somerville, Lynn Classical, Everett, Medford, Lynn English and Chelsea. This impressive 10-game win streak solidifi ed a second-place GBL fi nish for the team, which they have not done since the late 2000s. Led by Head Coach Steve Freker, assistant coaches Mike DiCato, Phil Cook and Mike Nicholson and senior captains Ryan Coggswell, Ezechiel Noelsaint and Jake Simpson, there have been vast strides in all areas of the game. The team has received great pitching from Jake Simpson, freshman Ryan Bowdridge and sophomore Ryan McMahon. Junior Chris MacDonald and sophomore Billy Gavin have picked it up with the bats this year. Junior Bo Stead has been excellent behind the plate, preventing scoring chances all over the fi eld. Brayan Jose has improved steadily all year in the outfi eld and at the plate. Sophomores Matt Candelario Da Costa (12 stolen bases), Joe Hatch, Eudy Francisco and freshman Tommy Cronin (7 hits, 5 RBIs) have all made key contributions. Also successful in the classroom Coach Freker notes that the team had one of the highest average GPAs in the state. Coggswell and Noelsaint were named to the National High School Baseball Coaches Association All-Academic Team, an incredible accomplishment that honors their determination within the sport. “We have gotten great leadership from our captains – Ryan, Jake and Zeke – and important contributions from everyone on our roster,” said Coach Freker, who was also coach of the 1994 team decades ago. “We are very grateful for all the support we have gotten from the families of our players, our own student fans, the most we have ever gotten, and Mr. Conefrey and Ms. Marquardo from Athletics and our school administration. It’s been quite a year and we want to keep it going in the state tournament, too.” For the first time in a long time, Malden has a chance to do some damage in the MIAA Tournament, which opened yesterday with a road trip to Needham. Malden baseball is most certainly back on the map.

Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma Donato, Steve Ultrino and Kate Lipper-Garabedian are pleased to announce that Malden Public Schools received a $16,400 High School Senior Internship in Education Project (HSSIEP) grant from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The HSSIEP program provides high school seniors with paid internships to explore the teaching profession as a potential career path. Students gain valuable experience by working with elementary school students in a classroom setting, learning instructional methods from mentor instructors and engaging in educator preparation curriculum. This program helps to grow the educator pipeline by engaging students while they are still in high school and seeks to help encourage a more racially diverse educator pipeline to support a teacher workforce that is reflective of the student populations served in Massachusetts. “These internships are a terrific opportunity for high school students to explore what it is like to be a teacher through a paid, hands-on program,” said Senator Lewis, who is Senate Chair of the Massachusetts Legislature’s Joint Committee on Education. “I’m pleased that Malden schools are receiving this grant that not only helps students see teaching as a potential career path, but also helps expand and diversify the teacher pipeline for our public schools.” “I’m thrilled to see Malden Public Schools be a recipient of this important grant,” said Representative Donato. “This grant will help Malden students explore the teaching profession as a possible career path, as well as work to diversify the teaching workforce within our public schools.” “I would like to congratulate Malden Public Schools for receiving such a critical grant,” said State Representative Steve Ultrino, who is House Vice Chair of the Joint Committee on Education. “The program not only allows high school seniors to explore a potential career path, but also learn what it means to be an educator through practice in their internship. I look forward to seeing our students participate in this unique opportunity.” “As a former seventh grade teacher, I am mindful of the critical role that hands-on experience plays in informing a student’s learning and exploration of future professions,” said Representative Lipper-Garabedian. “I am thrilled that Malden Schools has been awarded this competitive grant to provide high school seniors with paid internships to explore the teaching profession. This program will aid in growing and diversifying the educator pipeline, ensuring that students of color see their identities reflected in their teachers, which research shows to be crucial for student outcomes.” ׉ 7cassandra://CmVU3CHx_ksf5uAEdnr7fNpAFFKhqhpbd6C2MtPzGhU)A`̰fX͵meQfX͵meP PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://ZeUA7nbJol6Qf_lsiZ4-arN_LFimcs20h2U0HRWlwoAd``)׉ 7cassandra://m6m-GDfVhDGY74tdZ6w8CEWtrLQjghv5CmKyZ-dgyTY͑`J׉ 7cassandra://R4jc1domcUktJ2dVZeFrfNAnHx2_ex53jiKrt3SJkdY*`̰fXͻmeט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://5gKHcpZ2fKdvu9uvX9JqCLCzIDWQEtfgC4eJjmbzM4s `)׉ 7cassandra://DLq_OvAD9UwiOwe4ylQ4F0obcpUQbGvnGtHNg0oECQ0͙`J׉ 7cassandra://8k0oT350qbBpY-hqOLFwiHIcBoLhPK2BRPvnXEIJG7A(`̰fXͼmeנfXͼme 5̰9ׁHhttp://neighborhoodview.orgׁ ׁ ЈנfXͼme 5O-9ׁHhttp://ple.Itׁ ׁ ЈנfXͼmeMA9ׁHhttp://6.MVׁ ׁ ЈנfXͼme`zy9ׁHhttp://congestion.Moׁ ׁ ЈנfXͼmeJ9ׁHhttp://enjoy.Thׁ ׁ ЈנfXͼmeYy~9ׁHhttp://changed.Baׁ ׁ ЈנfXͼmenP9ׁHhttp://parlors.Thׁ ׁ ЈנfXͼmezU 9ׁHhttp://Center.Thׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 31, 2024 Building Community Momentum: The future of Maplewood Square By Joy Pearson P lans have begun to make improvements to the historic Maplewood business district in Malden. A Maplewood Square Committee of Ward 5 and Ward 6 residents has been following up on the research done in spring 2023 by the ‘Initiative on Cities,’ a capstone project for Master’s students of the Boston University Metropolitan College in City Planning and Urban Affairs. Maplewood Square is 1.5 miles east of Malden Center down Salem Street. Its name dates back to 1853 when Joshua Webster who, as surveyor, connected the Saugus railroad line to the Boston and Maine railroad.In the mid-nineteenth century, Webster sought to establish a community in the area including 200 maple trees.And so it was done.Businesses grew; changes occurred. Ten years ago, the old Saugus railroad was transformed and made into a bike and pedestrian path that crosses Maplewood Street.Since then, the path has been part of the Northern Strand Bike Path through the Bike to the Sea organization.It is well-used by locals and by New England bicyclists. Then and now, Maplewood was built around transportation.Soon MBTA bus route changes will add to the improvements the Maplewood Square Committee is making. The present business district — Salem Street at Maplewood Street to the south and its extension Lebanon Street to the north — is getting upgraded through the leadership of Ward 6 Councilor Steve Winslow and a seven-person Maplewood Square Committee. Improvements will be ongoing for years. Some will need City of Malden Departments for structural changes. All will need funding. The committee is basing its attention on the research of the BU students. The students and their lecturers, Emily Keyes Innes and David Valecillos, met with Maplewood residents (Wards 5 and 6) in three forums at the Salemwood School between February 2 and May 1, 2023. “I am struck with the potential for the space [Maplewood Square], with the beautiful historic buildings and local pride,” said Daniel Milbrandt, Master’s tensively.They spoke to attendees of the forums and got ideas. They used the Fall 2022 Ward 5 and Ward 6 survey in their research. They spoke to all business owners. They researched data about Malden in general. They, then, incorporated all their ideas into nine individual project displays presented on May 1, 2023. While identifying current conditions, students mentioned deficits that combine to limit the In addition to the railroad line that ran nearby, Maplewood Square was served by a trolley.

Dempsey’s soldiers fought off the guards, killing most of them, and provided weapons to some of the detainees, who also fought the rest of the Germans in the camp. There were still 30,000 poor souls in Dachau awaiting execution to include 1,000 anti-Nazi Catholic priests when Dempsey and the Rainbow Division liberated them. Dempsey came back to Malden and graduated from Boston College. He and his wife were both educators and Dempsey was the principal at Linden School for 26 years. Dempsey has helped many students over the years and many still visit him at Forestdale Park Assisted Living, where he currently resides. Last Veterans Day, the City of Malden dedicated a Memorial Square to Bill Dempsey in Linden Square, and they plan to paint photos of Dempsey over the years on the switchbox there to honor his service to Malden and America.

The plan itself says that the “[b]iggest challenge to this plan is identifying a funding source.” “The purpose of the Maplewood Square Committee is to work with [students’ ideas and presentations] to make a great Maplewood Square,” said Winslow. The Committee’s current focus is on seven of the points that the BU students identified: make Maplewood Square more welcoming; create an organization to promote Maplewood Square; promote Maplewood Square through events; support business with incentives and incubator businesses; simplify parking; include Maplewood in Malden’s Complete Streets and bus plans; and support zoning changes for housing. The present businesses in Maplewood Square include but are not limited to:a cold-pressed juicery, a custom-made curtain/blinds’ manufacturer, a fresh meat/groceries/vegetable market, a fresh fish market, a physical therapy store, a funerCity Council President/Ward 6 Councillor Stephen Winslow’s nephew, Geoff Winslow is serving in the United States Army. Winslow introduced elected officials present during the Memorial Day ceremony at the Forestdale Cemetery. and thousands of students and many others over the years. Also recognized during the ceremony was Gilberto Tercetti, known as Junior, who recently joined the Malden Chamber of Commerce. He was born in Italy and raised in Brazil and served for a year and a half in the Brazilian Army before transferring to the Military Police, where he served for an additional two and a half years. He then worked as a Police Detective for some years, gaining significant experience in one of the world’s most dangerous countries. Tercetti moved to the United States 31 years ago and adapted to life in his new home, starting a car repair business in Somerville 26 years ago. Despite his new caal home, a flower shop, an optometrist, a women’s boutique, a shoe store, a high-end sneaker store, a service station, churches, convenience store, and pizza parlors.The Committee’s improvements aim to give Maldonians and beyond additional reasons to discover and explore Maplewood Square. The Maplewood Square Committee has begun cosmetic and functional changes. The Fortune Corner floor-to-ceiling storefront windows now have seasonal artwork. A recent circular walkability sign graces the Square near Salem and Maplewood Streets. A ‘Welcome to Maplewood’ mural is suggested for the blank brick wall of the Converse Building that faces Dunkin’ Donuts. Plans are to have a Maplewood Square logo. Also, large moveable planters will brighten up the Square and be seasonably changed.Banners and flags can enhance the appeal of Maplewood Square. Blue Bikes, a public bike-sharing program, will be made available. Businesses will be encouraged to include games and puzzles for the public to enjoy.The Mayplewood Fest will continue each year.

Recently, Tercetti moved his However, there is tangible tension between Ward 5 and 6 residents and the Mystic Valley Regional Charter School (MVRCS) that has occupied part of Ward 6 for years. The real estate arm of MVRCS recently bought land in the middle of Maplewood Square, displacing three restaurants, a barbershop, a bank and two apartments and parking behind all of them. MVRCS students come to Ward 6 daily from seven or eight other cities and towns, which causes a lot of traffic congestion.Most MVRCS students live outside Ward 5 and 6.MVRCS does not actively participate in activities in Ward 6 or in Maplewood Square although its students frequent some of the Square’s business establishments. Most residents want Maplewood Square to be primarily a business area. Kevin Duffy of the City of Malden Office of Strategic Planning and Redevelopment says, “Businesses are looking at Malden right now.”But he says that money is tight and interest rates are high.He goes on to say that the dimensions that businesses may need for their businesses may not be available in Malden right now. Nevertheless, the students’ business to Malden, remodeling Junior Auto Body on Whitman Street to reflect his values. Upon joining the Chamber, he shared his desire to give back to the community. In partnership with AutoZone, Tercetti has committed to offering 30 free oil changes to projects will continue to be an excellent point of reference for the Maplewood Square Committee. The students’ work will fashion a lot of what the Committee does. “We hope that you choose to move forward with [some of students’ ideas] as you go,” Innes said. “I am hoping the community sees these projects from the students and the genuine care and effort put into them as a strong starting point to take interactive and positive steps towards making a good impact for the community,” said Alejandro Lopez, Master of Urban Affairs student. “I hope this serves as a path towards consensus.” “The Maplewood Square Committee has reviewed the students’ presentation and ideas and thanks them for outreach efforts to the residents and businesses in and around Maplewood Square, the studious research that went into the presentations and creative ideas they presented,” said Winslow. In a subsequent forum on April 4, 2024, the Maplewood Square Committee presented details of the seven earlier-mentioned vision statements for the first time to the public.

Dempsey is celebrating his 100th birthday this August. each of the following groups at Junior’s Autobody in Malden: 30 to veterans, 30 to police officers, 30 to firefighters and 30 to EMTs. Tercetti looks forward to the year ahead and hopes to continue giving back to the Malden community in meaningful ways. Besides looking for new ideas, they also want to bring out the best of what used to be. Since there is hunger for participatory government, the committee included sign-up sheets for audience members who would like to work on subcommittees for each vision. These subcommittees will be the additional arms and legs of the Maplewood Square Committee, reaching out to officials and non-officials and coming back to the committee with findings and fresh ideas. Anyone who is interested in being on one of these subcommittees can contact the Maplewood Square Committee through Ward 6 Councilor Steve Winslow or Ward 5 Councilor Ari Taylor It is said that what makes a great community is the people.It’s the people who want it to thrive. All in all, Maplewood Square is looking to be a vibrant part of the entire city of Malden and beyond.

Believed to be Most Successful Single Sports Season Ever in MHS History By Nick Toscani W hat does it mean when six teams in all qualify for MIAA Division 1 State Tournament competition... and those teams total more than 80 wins for the regular season? “We think this has to be one the most successful single seasons in school history,” said Malden Public Schools Director of Athletics Charlie Conefrey, who is in his eighth year at the helm, with his history as a coach and student-athlete at Malden High reaching back to the late 1990s. “It could possibly be THE most successful overall regular season, considering the team wins, postseason berths and league championships.” “It is easily the most successful since the Greater Boston League was reconstituted with the additions of Chelsea, Lynn English, Lynn Classical and Revere,” the Malden AD said. Add in multiple Greater Boston League Championships – for the Boys Volleyball Team (16-4); Girls Tennis Team (undefeated for three years in a row, 36-0); Boys Tennis Team (16-1); Girls Outdoor Track (4-0) – and it’s easy to see how this has to be the case in spring 2024. The mega-success of the Malden High Baseball team, which at 16-4 overall has won its most regular season games in 30 years (17-3 in 1994) and the second-best record in the past 50 years, is another big highlight. All six of the postseason-qualifying teams were either in action this week or awaiting their turn as of yesterday. The Boys Tennis and Girls Tennis teams opened MIAA State Tennis Tournaments with victories this week On Tuesday, the Malden Boys Tennis Team (13-3) opened its postseason with a 3-2 win over visiting Durfee at Amerige Park in Malden. Malden swept the three singles matches, and Durfee took the two doubles matches in the 3-2 fi nal. “We played well and the team was excited to play a fi rst-round match at home, which was the second straight year for us,” fi rstyear Head Coach Brian Sou said. Last year, coach Sou recalled, Malden advanced to the second round and fell in a hard-fought match to #6-seeded Acton-Boxin front of our home fans and borough. Malden has a similar draw ahead. After defeating Durfee on Tuesday, Malden advanced to take on #3-seeded Newton North (15-1) in Newton. That match was played at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday (after press deadline) at Newton North High School. If successful yesterday afternoon, Malden Boys Tennis will be advancing to a Saturday showdown with the winner of yesterday’s Arlington-Attleboro match. Eighth-year Malden Girls Tennis Coach Cheryl Camassa and the Tornado squad won their first State Tournament match in some years – and at home to boot– with a 5-0 shutout sweep of familiar Greater Boston League rival Revere on Wednesday at Amerige Park in Malden. The Malden girls (13-0) – who have won three consecutive GBL title and are unbeaten in the regular season for 2022, 2023 and now 2024 (36-0!!) – now advance to take on #3-seeded Winchester (14-3) today, Friday, May 31, at the Crosby Courts in Arlington at 4:00 p.m. The winner of today’s match advances to play the Franklin-Belmont winner on Saturday on Monday, June 3. GBL Champ Malden Boys Volleyball team hosted King Philip in State Tourney #27-seeded Malden High Boys Volleyball (16-4) hosted #38-seeded King Philip Regional (11-9) in the preliminary round of the MIAA Division 1 State Boys Volleyball Tournament last night (Thursday, after Advocate press deadline) at 6:00 p.m. Malden Head Coach Dan Jurkowski’s squad won its third GBL title in the past fi ve years with a 16-4 overall record, 13-1 GBL, and earned the #27 seed and a home match. “We got a home tourney game for the fi rst time in awhile and that was one of our team goals, as well as the league title,” Coach Jurkowski said. “We appreciate that we will be able to play hopefully that can help us get into the next round with a win.” A victory in last night’s match would push Malden forward into a road matchup at #6-seeded Malden’s Isabelle Tan led the Tornado Girls Tennis Team in some pre-match motivation. Malden won its opening State Tourney match and is on to the next round. (Courtesy/Malden High Blue and Gold/Chelmie Hyppolite Photo) Malden High Baseball had its best record in 30 years and second best record in the past 50 years at 16-4 this season. Malden played on the road at Needham in the MIAA Division 1 State Tournament yesterday (after Advocate press deadline) and would advance to play #6 seed St. John’s Prep Saturday if the Tornado team won over Needham. (Advocate Photo) Winchester (16-4) on either Saturday or Monday. Malden Boys and Girls Lacrosse Teams qualifi ed for State Tourney and scheduled for preliminary rounds Malden High Girls Lacrosse qualifi ed for the MIAA Division 1 State Girls Lacrosse Tournament with the #33 seed and drew a preliminary round matchup on the road tomorrow, Saturday, June 1, at 1:00 p.m. at #32-seeded Bridgewater-Raynham High School (6-14). Led by record-setting junior Mackenzie Jenkins, who recently scored her 200th career goal, pushing her school record to even greater heights, the team would advance to play top-seeded Central Catholic (19-2) on the road Monday, with a win over the B-R Trojans tomorrow. Coach Jonathan Copithorne’s Boys Lacrosse Team soared to new heights this season with its fi rst MIAA Division 1 State Tournament berth, with its 7-7 regular season fi nish. Malden High Boys Volleyball won the GBL title this year and hosted its preliminary match against King Philip Regional last night. (Advocate Photo) #34-seeded Malden was scheduled to take on #31-seeded Brookline (3-15) on the road at Boston University’s Nickerson Field at 4:00 p.m. yesterday (Thursday afternoon, after Advocate press deadline). A win Thursday would send Malden into a fi rst-round road game at #2-seeded Lincoln-Sudbury (116) on Saturday or Monday at a time to be determined. “We worked hard to get to the postseason and we are ready to go,” said Malden Head Coach Copithorne, whose team is led by another all-time career leading scorer, senior Chad Robertson, who had banged home more than 150 career goals. His teammate, Ben Rosa, is the Malden High career-leading goalie for saves. Malden High Baseball was on the road Thursday at Needham in second-straight State Tourney action Malden High Baseball, which rang up the most regular-season wins in 30 years (16-4) and fi nished a solid second in the Greater Boston League (10-4) drew the #39 seed in the MIAA Division 1 list and was on the road Thursday (after Advocate press deadline) to take on host Needham High at Memorial Field at 4:15 p.m. Needham (6-12), which plays in the Bay State League, which saw 9 of its 12 teams advance to postseason play, was the #26 seed – largely due to strength of schedule. Malden was expected to send freshman Ryan Bowdridge to the mound against Needham. Bowdridge has answered the bell at every call this year, going unbeaten in his seven starts (7-0) as well as registering two saves and a 1.59 earned run average. The lanky, 6-2 righthander has struck out 86 batters in 53 innings of work, the most since lefty Billy Stickney recorded 102 strikeouts in 2019 for Malden High. Malden’s 16 wins are the most since 1994, when the three-headed pitching combine of senior lefty Kurt Gaudet (5-2), lefty Joe Souza (8-1) and future Atlanta Brave setup man Kevin McGlinchy (7-1) led MalSPORTS| SEE PAGE 18 ׉ 7cassandra://s2tEGhl9bU2EUezzJ3Ya_1FF4Cx2aVMVh5PkHyFdoDs+ `̰fX͵meWfX͵meV PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://mDG-0L3YvL5XWYedc4AyeLRy7su2XM49Vz_K9w9Ohd4 0`)׉ 7cassandra://ScIi2-oZUuJ5t2c-yeQcaQXhtVSyinIwFAp7nSL0Abs͗`J׉ 7cassandra://ZbRZP1nXK3vCTu9CFU0KW2Ov8WRxdycYwbY-CBho2WA'`̰fXͽmeט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://6Ra0Zl0E16I3vCjmT_wS1VHIiM5lllC3r9HxvfsadJs`)׉ 7cassandra://o2DhltWtcNLfWayRkF2mGIQ0Q2Vd7HlOj1bpY-fuRqQ͑`J׉ 7cassandra://lY8P4e8MIvcsl-MStUxyRRPncRKuUyG8HAAjKj0_Zhk)`̰fXͽmeנfX;mẹ 9ׁHhttp://www.thewarrengroup.comׁ ׁ ЈנfX;mesL9ׁHhttp://www.advocatenews.netׁ ׁ ЈנfX;meNa9ׁHhttp://angle-inc.orgׁ ׁ Ј׉E&@Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 31, 2024 SPORTS | FROM PAGE 17 den to a school record 17-3 regular season and 20-4 overall campaign.

COLLECTING SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS Y ou can claim your social security benefits once you reach age 62. However, if you begin collecting at age 62, your benefi ts will be permanently reduced by 25% to 30%, depending on your birth year. Furthermore, if you begin collecting at age 62 and you are still working, you will have your benefi ts further reduced once your income exceeds a certain level. Once you reach your full retirement age, you can earn as much as you want without suff ering a reduction of benefits. For those born in 1960 or later, the full retirement age is 67. If, for example, you were born in 1958, your full retirement age would be 66 and 8 months. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a table that you can go by to determine what your full retirement age is and how much your benefi ts will be reduced by claiming early and how much they will be increased by waiting to age 70 to collect. If you wait beyond age 70 to collect, you will not receive any higher benefi t. If you delay collecting your social security benefi ts until after your full retirement age, your benefi ts will increase 8% each year until age 70. One benefi t of this strategy is if you were to die at age 71, your surviving spouse who was married to you for at least 10 years would receive 100% of your monthly benefi t. If that surviving spouse did not have a higher monthly benefi t under his or her own work history and did not have a suffi - cient state pension to live on, as well as signifi cant liquid assets, that could be very important for the surviving spouse in order to continue with his or her standard of living. If a spouse collects benefi ts under his or her spouse’s work history, those benefi ts will be permanently reduced if that spouse begins collecting prior to his or her full retirement age. If you were to die after reaching your full retirement age, your surviving spouse would then be able to collect 100% of your monthly benefi t, including the increased benefi t you might be receiving as a result of waiting until age 70 to collect benefi ts. You can claim a surviving spouse social security benefi t under your deceased spouse’s work history at age 60 and then transition to your own work history at your full retirement age assuming this would result in a higher monthly benefi t. Furthermore, you could even wait until age 70 to collect under your work history resulting in even a higher monthly benefi t. I would suggest establishing an account on the www.ssa.gov website to review your work history and to make sure all of your earnings have been posted properly. Go onto the retirement calculator tab to project your estimated benefi ts based upon retiring at full retirement age or at age 70. You would input your expecting earnings as well. If a divorced spouse remarries, he or she would lose the opportunity to collect benefits based upon the previous spouse’s work history. That is a real important consideration for divorced couples. .

(Courtesy of the Malden Public Library) HISTORY | FROM PAGE 3 starring role of John Proctor in Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible,” the modern adaptation of the Salem Witch Trials. Though this was an off -Broadway production, soon he was invited to play on Broadway as El Gallo in the musical “The Fantasticks,” based on famous French poet Edmond Rostand’s play “The Romancers,” which in turn included elements of the Romanian mythological story “Pyramus and Thisbe,” Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and Donizetti’s opera “The Elixir of Love.” Critics and the audience also applauded his bitter and crippled puppeteer Paul Berthalet from the road show production of Gower Champion’s “Carnival,” and his voice was called one of the fi nest on the stage. In 1963, he brilliantly played Indian Chief Bromden in the stage version of Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” (costarring Kirk Douglas and Gene Wilder). In the 1970s and 1980s, Ed Ames starred in the famous John Kenley summer stage productions. Ed Ames played such starring roles as Charlie Anderson in Gary Geld’s musical “Shenandoah,” Tevye in Jerry Bock’s musical “Fiddler on the Roof,” Don Quixote in Mitch Leigh’s “Man of La Mancha” and King Arthur in Frederick Loewe’s “Camelot.” His role as Emile de Becque in one of the greatest American musicals, “South Pacifi c,” became his actor’s triumph. Ed’s charisma and psychological depth won the audience momentarily. Ames also starred in the musical version of George B. Shaw’s play “Androcles and the Lion” and played Lord Capulet in the famous Milton Katselas production of “Romeo and Juliet” in Los Angeles. Ed Ames has successfully directed regional and national companies. In 1994, he was selected for the Performers Hall of Fame in Northern California for excellence in stage performances. Another outstanding singer, Elvis Presley, said, ‘‘Singers come and go, but if you’re a good actor, you can last a long time.” According to Ames, his love for acting and singing closely intervened in his career: “Acting is a representation of life. So is singing, and I approach a song as I would a short dramatic scene.” Ed and TV: from Native American to alcoholic sheriff Ames’ fantastic performance in “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” as well as his appearance (dark eyes and hair and slightly rugged face features), led to his invitation by 20th Century Fox for the role of Mingo, an Oxford-educated Cherokee, in the ABC TV show “Daniel Boone,” about the famous U.S. explorer and frontier. Ames decision to play in the show was based on realistic motives, including reliable payment for the production. As he said in a TV guide in 1968, “You’re an actor, so you act. Work is tight, and if you get a decent part on Broadway every three years, you’re lucky. Whereas you can just keep hackin’ ’em out week after week on TV. And then, of course, you have to eat.” So, Ames signed a fi ve-year contract with the show, though he was sure that it would not last long. However, his own very talented acting disproved his predictions. The show became a great success. Ames learned how to be a real Indian and played his role without any exaggeration, respecting his character and really living his life. When he performed a Cherokee song of death on the episode “Not in Our Stars,” he sounded authentic; his vocabulary and pronunciation were flawless. Maybe Ed’s linguistic talents helped him with it (he knows half a dozen languages). Ames’ acting was so convincing that many Native Americans considered him one of them. Ames even received a letter from the Arizona Indian Association saying, “You have done more for the Indians by your excellent characterization than all the missionaries, government offi cials, and book authors combined.” Despite the huge success of the show, after four years, Ed Ames understood that his singing career was suff ering. Also, he didn’t want to always be seen as Mingo. As he explained, “Television series are a great hazard. The more successful the show, the more identified with the characters you become.” In 1968, he decided to leave the show because he wanted “to do two feature fi lms” and “to go on extended tours... to consolidate my career and... return to Broadway... if the role is right.” Ed was a guest star on numerous TV dramas and shows as a singer and as an actor. Among them were “Murder, She Wrote,” “Santa Barbara,” “The Rifl eman,” “Personality,” “Kraft Music Hall” and “Land’s End.” His role as the alcoholic sheriff Thompson on “The Heat of the Night” again won the audience. Ames liked the “Heat” script “because it deals with police brutality. It takes another look at ethnic prisoners and the police. It doesn’t turn the guy into a monster. He was a man who had helped people, but when he went bad, there was no system in the community to deal with it.” To be continued… (Inna Babitskaya is a Malden historian, a Member of the Malden Historical Commission and author of historical books “From Maldon to Malden,” “Time of Converse” and “Fellsmere Park – Emerald of Malden.”) ׉ 7cassandra://ZbRZP1nXK3vCTu9CFU0KW2Ov8WRxdycYwbY-CBho2WA'`̰fX͵meX׉E;THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 31, 2024 Page 19 Triangle, Inc. awarded $75K Cummings Grant T riangle, Inc., an organization serving people with disabilities and their families, was recently awarded a $75,000 grant from the Cummings Foundation.

How to Find Reliable Health Information Online Dear Savvy Senior, How can I tell if the health info on a website is trustworthy? I usually do a Google search on a symptom, drug or health condition when I want to research something, but with so much information out there I’m not sure what I can trust. Skeptical Sal Dear Sal, You’re wise to be skeptical! There’s an overwhelming amount of health advice on the internet today and it can be hard to tell what’s credible. To help you sort through the online clutter and locate reliable, trustworthy health information, here are a few tips to follow, along with some top-rated sites you can turn to with confi dence. Savvy Searching First, know that Google or Bing is not always the best place to start a search. You’ll increase your odds of fi nding reliable health information if you begin with websites run by government agencies (identifi ed by URLs ending in .gov), medical associations (often .org) or academic institutions (.edu). Commercial websites (usually ending in .com), such as drug or insurance companies who may be trying to sell you their products, are usually not the most trustworthy options. To fi nd out who’s sponsoring a site and where the information came from, click on the “About Us” tab on the site’s home page. Also note that good health and medical information changes all the time so check the date that information was published to make sure it’s current. Some other areas you need be wary of include online symptom checkers and artifi cial intelligence (AI) tools. While symptom checkers do off er potential diagnoses that could fi t your set of symptoms, they are often inaccurate, and tend to err on the side of caution says Ateev Mehrotra, MD, professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School. AI tools, like ChatGPT, can also be wrong or generate false but scientifi c sounding information. You also need to be cautious about using medical information from social media, online forums or YouTube. Comments in these places may sound authoritative even if the authors have no medical training or expertise. Top Health Sites While there are many excellent websites that provide reliable health and medical information, one of the best all-purpose sites that’s recommended by Consumer Reports for researching symptoms and conditions is MedlinePlus (medlineplus.gov). A service of the National Library of Medicine, the world’s largest medical library, and part of the National Institutes of Health, MedlinePlus provides high-quality, trustworthy health and wellness information that’s easy to understand and free of advertising. Here are a few additional websites, recommended by the Medical Library Association and others, to help you fi nd reliable information on specifi c diseases, conditions and treatments. Cancer: National Cancer Institute (cancer.gov), American Cancer Society (cancer.org) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (nccn.org). Heart disease: American Heart Association (americanheart.org), National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (nhlbi.nih.gov). Diabetes: American Diabetes Association (diabetes.org). Alzheimer’s disease: Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org) and Alzheimers.gov. Public health and vaccines: Center for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov). Alternative medicine: National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (nccih.nih.gov) and the National Institutes of Health’s Offi ce of Dietary Supplements (ods.od.nih.gov). Any research you do online before seeing a doctor, be sure to save or print your fi ndings out on paper, including the site you got your information from, so you can review it together.
