They ended up defeating the Dallas Mavericks going away, 106-88 to win the 2024 NBA Finals four games to one. Led by Jaylen Brown, the NBA Finals MVP, and Jason Tatum, the Celtics have jumped over the Los Angeles Lakers, their longtime rivals, in championship banners, 18-17 after the Game 5 win over fifth-seeded Dallas, the western conference champs. There’s also a local element to this championship story that makes it more compelling in the eyes of the partisan Boston fan. Second-year Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla was born in Johnston, R.I. on June 30, 1988. He attended 8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 Open Tues. - Sat. at 4:00 PM Closed Sun. & Mon.

Bishop Hendricken High School, an institution noted for its excellence in sports for decades in the Ocean State. Mazzulla was an integral player on three of its state championship boys basketball teams, including hitting a last-second shot to secure the third title in his senior campaign. Mazzulla went on to play for the West Virginia Mountaineers, where as a freshman in 2007, he helped the team win the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). The Mountaineers made the NCAA Tournament in 2008, and were able to upset Duke in a second-round game. Mazzulla was credited with 13 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists to help lead his teammates past the Blue Devils. He then suffered a shoulder injury the following year. But as a redshirt junior, Mazzulla led the Mountaineers to the 2010 NCAA Final Four as one of the team’s captains. However, they lost to eventual champion Duke in a semifinal game. Prior to that contest in the Elite 8 game against Kentucky, Mazzulla scored a then-careerhigh 17 points to help his teammates pull off the upset. As a senior, Mazzulla averaged 7.7 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. Throughout his collegiate career, he had 700 points and 340 assists. Mazzulla started his coaching www.810bargrille.com career at Glenville State as an assistant in 2011. Two years later, he became an assistant at Fairmont State, before becoming an assistant for the Maine Red Claws, the Celtics G League team during the 2016-17 season. He returned to Fairmont State to become its head coach in 2017, before returning to the Celtics organization in 2019 as one of the NBA’s team’s assisWhile doing his postgame media obligations Monday night following the victory over Dallas that clinched the organization’s 18th championship, Boston Celtics second-year head coach Joe Mazzulla proudly proclaims his love for God on his shirt, a sentiment that he has also passed along to his team.

One year later, he guided the team to the organization’s 18th championship, the youngest coach ever to win an NBA title in the history of the league, beating out former Celtics player-coach and legendary Hall of Famer Bill Russell by months. But what struck many fans throughout this year’s playoff run was Mazzulla’s references to his faith in God during postgame press conferences. After the Celtics won the championship on Monday night, he was seen wearing a shirt with the words “BUT FIRST… LET ME THANK GOD” on it. As a devout Roman Catholic, he’d recite the rosary hours before home games, while walking around the fabled parquet court at the TD Garden with rosary beads his wife, Camai Roberson Mazzulla, made for him out of remnants from the original Celtics floor. His players to a man bought into his ideals, often citing God during their postgame media obligations after Monday’s game. Mazzulla uses his religious values to establish in some cases his coaching strategy. His message is simple: Great leadership is centered around humility and selflessness, and he believes his players reflect that philosophy. He recently said: “You see it right in front of your face, and you see a group of guys doing it, and it doesn’t get the appreciation and the recognition that it deserves.” In this day and age, where many shy away from publicly professing their religious beliefs, Joe Mazzulla is not afraid to follow the word of God. Through his lifestyle, he has become a championship coach in the long and storied history of the Boston Celtics. But he has also proven that he’s more importantly a winner off the court.

Lewis and Massachusetts Senate pass HERO Act to support veterans Special to Th e Advocate O n June 13, 2024, State Senator Jason Lewis and his colleagues in the Massachusetts Senate unanimously passed legislation to boost benefits, modernize services and promote inclusivity for veterans. The bill mandates supporting hundreds of thousands of individuals across the state who have served in the United States military, including nearly 30,000 women veterans and thousands of LGBTQ+ veterans. An Act honoring, empowering and recognizing our servicemembers and veterans – referred to as the HERO Act – would increase benefi ts for disabled veterans, bolster support for businesses that hire veterans, update the defi nition of a veteran, expand the scope of the Veterans Equality Review Board, codify medical and dental benefi ts, and more. On May 22, 2024, the House of Representatives had passed its own version of the HERO Act. The Massachusetts Legislature will now appoint a Conference Committee to reconcile diff erences between the versions of the HERO Act passed by the Senate and House before the legislation is sent to Governor Maura Healey for her signature or other actions. “Massachusetts has a strong record of supporting our nation’s veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much for us,” said Senator Lewis. “The HERO Act builds on previous legislation to ensure that we are doing as much as possible to meet our commitment to State Senator Jason Lewis at the Stoneham Field of Honor. (Courtesy photo) supporting those who have put the most on the line to defend our freedoms.” Some highlights of the HERO Act: 1. Veteran benefi ts expansion • Allows veterans to be reimbursed for visits to outpatient behavioral health providers. • Increases the annual annuity for veterans with a 100% service-connected disability, surviving spouses, or Gold Star Parents from $2,000 to $2,500. • Increases to $2,500 a tax credit for small businesses hiring chronically unemployed or low-income veterans • Lengthens the time frame for veterans in public service to participate in the active-duty service buyback program and allows retroactive participation for veterans who missed the buyback opportunity • Prevents the “COLA Cliff ”: ensures that a cost-of-living adjustment in Social Security benefi ts will not aff ect veterans’ eligibility for Chapter 115 benSaving Should Be Easy.

The Sprague brothers passed “through the country on the easterly bank of the Mystic River,” where they “found it ‘an uncouth wilderness’ and ‘full of stately timber.’” They came to a neck of land “lying on the north side of the Charles River, full of...Aberginians.” Their old Sachem being dead, his eldest son Wonohaquaham, by the English called John Sagamore, was their chief and “a man naturally of a gentle and good disposition; by whose free consent, they settled about the hill of the same place, by the said natives called Mishawum.” Wonohaquahamm, a chief of the Pawtucket, was described by Thomas Dudley as “a handsome young man, conversant with us, affecting English apparel and houses, and speaking well of our God.” According to the Puritan treatise “New England’s First Fruits” (1643), “Sagamore John, prince of Massaquesers, was from our very first landing more courteous, ingenious, and to the English more loving than others of them; he desired to learn and speak our language, and loved to imitate us in our behavior and apparel, and began to hearken after our God and his ways, and would much commend English men and their God, saying much good men, much good God, and being convinced that our condition and ways were better fair than theirs, did resolve and promise to leave the Indians, and come live with us.” Sagamore John’s tribe population was reduced due to the epidemic of plague and wars with the Tarratines. The Tarratines were a band of the Mi’kmaq tribe of Native Americans, who inhabited northern New England, did not practice agriculture and made raids on the food supplies of more sedentary bands who cultivated crops. In 1619, the Tarrantines killed Sagamore John’s father, Sachem Nanapashemet (“the Moone God or New Moon), a great leader of the Pawtucket Confederation of Abenaki peoples in present-day New England, before the landing of the Pilgrims. The Pawtucket controlled Montowampate (Sagamore James of Saugus) Sagamore John’s burial monument at Sagamore Park in Medford “his interest and just Title to the Lands of his late brother deceased on Mystic Side” and “the Ground about powder home hill,” which were “wrongfully detained from him.” He petitioned that “now, at last, out of your Great clemency and compassion towards your poor Indian and Petitioner you will be RON’S OIL Call For PRICE MELROSE, MA 02176 NEW CUSTOMER’S WELCOME ACCEPTING VISA, MASTERCARD & DISCOVER (781) 397-1930 OR (781) 662-8884 100 GALLON MINIMUM Puritan explorers 425r Broadway, Saugus Mishawum (Charlestown), Mistic (Medford), Musketaquid (Concord), Winnisemet (around modern Chelsea), Swampscott (Lynn), Naumkeag (Salem), Agawam (Ipswich) and Pentucket (Haverhill), as well as Piscataqua (Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Eliot, Maine), Pannukog (Concord, New Hampshire) and Accominta (York, Maine). Nanapashemet’s tribe caught fish in the rivers and sea, dug and harvested shellfish, and raised corn on the Marblehead peninsula. After Nanapashemet’s death, his people inhabited the area around the Mystic River and Rumney Marsh. The chief’s widow, the Squaw Sachem (c. 1590–1650), and his sons, Wonohaquaham (1608– 1633) and Montowampate (Sagamore James of Saugus, 1609–1633), ruled the tribe. Sagamore John allowed the colonists to settle on the tribe’s lands. In 1631, Wonohaquaham and Montowampate were wounded by the Tarratines at Ipswich, where they visited their relatives and friends. Montowampate’s wife, Wenuchus, was kidnapped, and only two months later, with the help of Abraham Shurd, a colonist from Pemaquid, she could return home. In 1631, after two of the Wonohaquaham wigwams had been burned, he received compensation after complaining to the court. The same year, both brothers complained to the governor Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street Squaw Sachem depicted as part of the Robbins Memorial Flagstaff in Arlington, Mass. about the stealing of 20 beaver skins by some colonists. “The governor entertained them kindly,” giving a recommendation letter to a London lawyer. Famous Lynn historian Alonzo Lewis wrote that “Montowampate went to England, where he was treated with much respect as an Indian king, but, disliking the English delicacies, he hastened back to Saugus.” In 1632–33, smallpox swept away the Indian villages, including their chiefs. After the death of the Sagamores, their brother Wenepoykin (1616–1684), a 17-year-old young man, became the chief of those who survived. His English name was George Rumney Marsh, after the place where he lived – near Powder Horn Hill on the southern borders of Malden. He had a son, Manatahqua, and three daughters, who were named by colonists Cicily or Su-George, Sarah and Susannah, and by their own people as Wanapanaquin, or the Plumed Ones.

The review was conducted by the Council’s Finance Committee, which is chaired by two-term Councillor McDonald. “Here we are with one of the most important [tasks] we have as a City Council each year,” Councillor McDonald said. “We have had great conversations with various department heads and gotten some very good feedback from them as well as good questions from the public, particularly on the school budget, which is the biggest single part of it.” McDonald said one boon to this year’s budget is that “we [the city] have negotiated new contracts with almost every union [in Malden] and all the salary increases are already included in the budget,” MacDonald said. The second-term Councillor said Malden is in the same boat as nearby communities when it comes to the rising budget crunch, both this year and in the future. “Like every other city, we are seeing costs [of everything] going up, and revenue sources are fl at,” McDonald said. He noted that Malden used one-time stopgaps of $4 million from the last of Malden’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and another $2.5 million spent to fi ll a gap in this year’s budget from the cash reserves fund. McDonald, who drew high marks for his handling of the budget review process last year, as a fi rst-term Councillor, was in the same seat for this year’s process. The $224 million city budget represents an increase of about $10 million, or some 6%, from the FY24 budget of $213.9 million. The largest expenditure in the approved budget is the $93,380,000 budgeted for the Malden Public Schools, followed by $24.9 million for the Human Resources Dept., primarily for employee benefi ts. As in the City of Malden side, where no jobs were cut this year, there are no projected layoff s on the School Department side. McDonald did note that the Malden Public Schools did opt to wipe out a potential $1 million-plus shortfall in its budget by leaving a number of its unfi lled positions empty. Other big ticket items are $15.4 million The Malden City Council voted unanimously to adopt a $224 million FY25 city budget. for retirement pensions, $14.15 million budgeted for the Malden Police Department, $12.86 million for the Malden Fire Department and $8.5 million for the Malden Department of Public Works. Councillor McDonald said that this year’s budget discussions were similar to this year’s review since the same issues remain, regarding finances. “We have the same issue with disproportionate Chapter 70 [state aid to schools] funding as we had last year,” he said. There was action recently, as McDonald noted that a working task force is now in place to study strategies and actions that could be taken to work toward a goal of getting more of a Chapter 70 funding share to Malden. “We have required minimum spending for the students,” Councillor McDonald said. “These required minimums eat up almost all of the new revenues as the gap continues to grow.” McDonald also noted that Councillors are now working on a new Master Plan for the city and in the course of discussion has involved talks of potential zoning changes that could possibly jumpstart development that could potentially generate more property tax revenue. “But the reality of zoning changes that actually lead to development is that it takes years for it to actually happen and it is not likely to affect our community fi nancially in even two years from now,” the Finance Committee chair said. “If we are in the same place next year come budget time, we could be staring at much, much harder choices,” McDonald said. “It would be a question of whether we choose them, or they choose us.” ׉ 7cassandra://-BR-2nK4dk_qFEIAXEh2KantaGgqaVC_39dT8IRRkvw+`̰ftme^ftme^ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://pT4ZfbniA2S8h8QitkbVISwcp3fOOC1qabLTXzTOY38Ss`)׉ 7cassandra://wX_mP_eG7fjYAjIxP6T_wdQyMH7es7oNTe0MRWTesn4͏n`J׉ 7cassandra://fIP4MtP_2-KIjWgw56dseeZCem7Yw0jW728WgZODgTg)`̰ftme_ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://UICQ7Ej9LftSBjtt0HKgaRjG-yj_WgkYQq6Grl2zYhk`)׉ 7cassandra://LEwNgD4NUOQXl83L3wMVfKV9aFL5x5jj7qnrJi9a_ag͆"`J׉ 7cassandra://BcC2hJ2tmPhzKF1PzFj6zwHnRlSAl6dz24xbjS0Rgd0(`̰ftme_נftme_8P~9ׁHmailto:mcsw@mass.govׁ ׁ Јנftme_?̧9ׁHmailto:david@larovere.comׁ ׁ Јנftme_N 9ׁH!http://www.everettkiwanisgolf.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EWPage 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 21, 2024 HEROINE | FROM PAGE 1 ors women who strive to make a difference and improve the lives of others within their community.

It warms my heart to see all the women who are recognized alongside me, knowing that our work does not go unnoticed and we are all making an impact in our communities.” “The Commonwealth Heroines are women who don’t make the news, but make all the difference in their communities,” said MCSW Chairwoman Dr. Sarah Glenn-Smith. “Thousands of women in every community across the Commonwealth perform unheralded acts on a daily basis that make our homes, neighborhoods, cities, and towns better places to live.

In a ceremony held on Friday, June 7, at Melrose High School, Northeast Metro Tech bid congratulations and goodbye to students from the Class of 2024, several of whom spoke during graduation ceremonies. “As we stand on the brink of the next chapter of our lives, I am filled with hope and anticipation,” said Valedictorian Amanda Andrade Ferreira, of Malden. “We are ready to face the future, armed with the lessons we’ve learned and the strength we’ve gained from our experiences. We have proven that we can adapt, persevere, and thrive, no matter the obstacles.” Principal Carla A. Scuzzarella noted that this graduating class started their high school careers amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges it presented, and that they rose above those challenges to thrive at Northeast Metro Tech. “Like the classes just ahead of you, you are the definition of the word ‘resilient.’ You navigated through remote learning, virtual shop classes, and Zoom fatigue with steady determination. You found ways to connect with each other, even when physically apart. And through it all, you demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to care for one another, to support your classmates and to stay positive,” Scuzzarella said. “You helped bring the ‘normal’ back into our school.” Class President Kerryn Jean, of Melrose, told her fellow graduates that it’s okay if some of them are still searching for direction, and encouraged students to be themselves as they head into the world. “As we stand on the road of adulthood, it’s natural to feel a mix of The Class of 2024’s class officers stand before their classmates.

Life is a journey, not a destination, and it’s perfectly normal to feel unsure at times. What matters most is that we stay true to ourselves, hold fast to our dreams, and never lose sight of the unique path that lies ahead,” said Jean. “Reflecting on our high school years, it’s hard to believe how much we’ve grown since those early days as freshmen. The challenges we faced, particularly with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, tested our resilience and adaptability. Yet, through it all, we remained united, eager to explore the mysteries of high school life and create lasting memories together.” Salutatorian Muhammad Fazeel, of Winthrop, told classmates that despite having different paths through high school, each graduate shared a common goal of excellence. “Standing before you today fills me with immense pride and gratitude. We are here to celebrate a significant milestone in our lives, the culmination of four years of hard work and dedication. Each of us has traveled a unique path through this school, pursuing different shops and pathways. Rain fell though the sunshine at the Northeast Metro Tech Class of 2024’s graduation ceremony. (Courtesy Northeast Metro Tech) Yet today, we stand united, side by side, in the same field,” said Fazeel. “Throughout high school, we had the opportunity to explore various careers – from robotics to plumbing, electrical to cosmetology, business tech to health assisting, and many more. Despite the diversity of our trades, we shared a common goal: to excel in our chosen fields and prepare for the future. This shared ambition created a sense of unity among us, showcasing the breadth of our collective achievements and bridging the gaps between our various shops.” A double rainbow appeared over graduates during the ceremony.

The evening of Wednesday, May 18 started off with the traditional “Red Carpet” showout, entering from Salem Street in front of the school and continuing into The Courtyard and then The Gallery. The evening then launched, with all promgoers required to transport to the magical night at Danversport in Danvers, Mass., via chaperoned coach buses. According to all T reports, the evening was a tremendous event, filled with delight and excitement. “The venue was great, the evening was tremendous and our kids were fantastic. Once again, the folks who are in charge of the evening went out of their way to complement our students and all who attended on their respectful behavior at the prom,” said seventh-year Malden High School Principal Chris Mastrangelo. “We credit our students, the class officers and advisors and all members of our staff who took the time to go up the Danvers and attend the prom as chaperones for the entire effort in making this a wonderful night for everyone!” Ezechiel “Zeke” Noelsaint, a two-sport captain and a top student in his Class of 2024, and Juliana at the Senior Prom.

A flag raising and a brief speech or two are the norm, as were recalled in remarks Wednesday by Malden Mayor Gary Christenson, who was describing an event in another neighboring community. “They raised a flag, they spoke and everyone got ready to leave,” Mayor Christenson explained, “and someone said, ‘that’s it?’ Then they said, ‘I guess if you REALLY want to celebrate and honor Juneteenth, you have to go to Malden, Massachusetts!’” The Mayor’s words got a roar and raucous applause from the large crowd assembled in the foyer of the Ferryway K-8 School in Malden on Wednesday morning as opening ceremonies were held for what has become one of the largest Juneteenth recognition and celebration events in the state. On Wednesday, hundreds of Malden residents and those from other communities filled the Ferryway School for the 7th Annual Juneteenth Celebration. Also known as Freedom Day, Emancipation Day or America’s second Independence Day, Juneteenth – on June 19 – commemorates the end of slavery in the United States after the Civil War. Many Americans have celebrated it annually for more than a century, even though the holiday was not officially added to the national calendar as a federal holiday until 2021. The holiday commemorates the ending of slavery by marking the day Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, after the end of the Civil War, on June 19, 1865, to let the last enslaved Americans know they were free under the Emancipation Proclamation – issued by President Lincoln more than two years earlier, on January 1, 1863. In Malden, the Juneteenth celebration began on June 19, 2018, as many others, with a flag raising and words of hope and honor, by the Juneteenth Committee, which included founding members Erga Pierrette and Karen Colón Hayes and others. Since then it has grown in scope and focus to become a full-fledged community-wide event, with something for everyone, all ages and cultures. On Wednesday, the event was quickly (and easily) shifted from a planned, outdoor event at the nearby Lincoln Commons to inside the Ferryway K-8 School, due to the intense heat wave, which pushed outdoor temperatures to what was eventually a Boston June 19 record of 98 degrees. Apparently, the move was the right one as many believe Wednesday’s Juneteenth celebration in Malden drew the largest attendance yet. Hundreds came to the school to celebrate, from babies to senior citizens, including those from all cultures. “What an amazing day with such a large group of attendees from all across our community. It is really great to see,” said Pierrette near the end of the day. Pierrette opened the day’s events with introductory remarks, where she gave a brief history of the meaning of Juneteenth and thanked all in attendance. tee founding member, Colón Hayes, who also serves as Councillor-at-Large on the Malden City Council, echoed that sentiment. “We have really tried to make sure that this is a community event where everyone is welcome,” Councillor Colon Hayes said. “Today it is easy to see we have achieved that.” “What a tremendous turnout! There really is something for everyone here today,” Colón Hayes said just before she jumped into a impromptu cultural dance that was associated with the group drum session organized in the Ferryway foyer. Wednesday’s agenda included artist performances, including a special one by Malden High School’s A-O Step Team, poetry, dances, drumming and over 25 tables for vendors and representatives of various cultural and community organizations. There were also “Arts for All Ages,” including a teen workshop, button and bookmark making and a story walk. Henna art was available to be applied to hands and arms, and attendees were welcomed to contribute to some living art: a Community Mural. Another big highlight was a free, sumptuous, all-you-caneat buffet meal with Southern comfort food and other dishes generously donated by Maxine’s on St. James, 304 Dudley St., Boston; The Island (Caribbean Cuisine and Drinks), 118 Ferry St., Malden; and the Neighborhood Kitchen, 84 Spring St., Medford. Many of the attendees took advantage of the seemingly endless dishes: fried chicken, beans and rice, jambalaya, collard greens, sweet potato pie, Mayor Gary Christenson acknowledged the importance of the day and Malden Juneteenth Committee efforts. macaroni au gratin, tofu and romaine salad, among others. Some of the highlighted performances: the opening Black National Anthem sung by Lydia Harrell, who later sang an original song accompanying herself on a ukelele; a powerful spoken word performance by T.J.

There is no time to waste. By Lara Jirmanus, MD, MPH O ne million Palestinians may die of starvation by mid-July, according to UN agencies, because Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war. Our neighbors in Somerville, Medford, Melrose and Boston passed ceasefire resolutions. But the Malden City Council resolution stops short of calling for ceasefire. It merely “supports the work of Biden and the UN Security Council to broker a bilateral, lasting ceasefire.” Why does it matter how our humble city votes? Location, location, location. We would be the third city in Representative Katherine Clark’s district to call for ceasefire. Clark is one of the top Democratic Party leaders. Her staff literally sit in meetings with Biden and Netanyahu’s teams negotiating political and military objectives. But the current language would not push her at all. In fact, it’s strikingly similar to her tweet from March: “The United States, and the world, must continue to push the ceasefire negotiations…” Biden has disparaged Netanyahu for months, while sending billions of our tax dollars in weapons to Israel. Last week, as Biden proposed a ceasefire agreement, American forces allowed Israel to use the US “humanitarian pier” to smugglesoldiers into a Palestinian refugee camp and massacre 274 Palestinians to rescue 4 Israelis, who would have been released in a ceasefire agreement. I’m sure my fellow parents, teachers, and really any other human will concur, when warnings aren’t followed with consequences, behavior doesn’t change. Malden taxpayers send nearly a million dollars to Israel a year. That money could be used for schools, to fix roads, or address countless local issues. Two out of three Americans have supported ceasefire in Gaza since October, including over 80% of Democrats. Over half of US residents supported ending military aid to Israel in a March poll. So why did our elected officials vote to send over $17 billion more to Israel in April? Our investment in Israel’s military already means this issue is profoundly local, but it also touches members of the Malden community. My sister’s husband, who is a Palestinian Christian, had 9 members of his family killed in Gaza when they were sheltering in the historic St. Porphyrius Church, which was bombed in October. The Malden mosque is hosting 2 funeral prayers a day, just to mourn members' relatives in Gaza. An immediate, lasting ceasefire, along the lines of the current ceasefire deal which Biden proposed could be a meaningful first step to peace. Our City Council must send a clear message, to Clark and Biden. A UN investigation has just found Israel guilty of “crimes of extermination in Gaza.”If another million Palestinians die from forced starvation next month, there will be blood on all our hands. In December, Netanyahu instructed an aide to explore ways to “thin out” the population of Gaza. With over 100,000 dead or injured Palestinians in a mere 8 months, he seems to be achieving this goal. Do we support that? If not, the answer should be simple and needs to be said loud and clear. Ceasefire now. New Group Raises Awareness of Islamic Terror and Slavery in Africa W ASHINGTON, D.C. — Many Americans are unaware that terror attacks, like the October 7 massacre of Israelis, are committed every few days in Africa against innocent Christians and moderate Muslims. In Nigeria, Sudan, and other African nations, Islamists routinely converge upon villages while burning, raping, murdering, abducting, and enslaving the innocent inhabitants. Because they have been shockingly ignored and under-reported in the West, these ongoing atrocities in Africa have been called a “silent genocide.” The African-Jewish Alliance was formed to bring awareness to the shared origin of these crimes against humanity: the Islamist supremacist ideology which motivates Hamas in Gaza, Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Janjaweed and its derivatives in Darfur, and many other actors throughout Africa. All operate in the same manner: raids, murder, torture, burning, rape, and abBeacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen GET A FREE SUBSCRIPTION TO MASSTERLIST – Join more than 22,000 people, from movers and shakers to political junkies and interested citizens, who start their weekday morning with MASSterList—the popular newsletter that chronicles news and informed analysis about what’s going on up on Beacon Hill, in Massachusetts politics, policy, media and influence.

REVENGE PORN AND TEEN SEXTING (H 4744) House 155-0, Senate 38-0, approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey a bill that would prohibit the posting of sexually explicit images of another person online without their permission— commonly referred to as “revenge porn.” The practice is often used by ex-spouses or ex-partners. Massachusetts is one of only two states that does not have a law about this crime. The measure makes it illegal to break this new law and establishes a sentence of up to 2.5 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000; increases the upper limit of the fine for criminal harassment from $1,000 to $5,000; allows a victim to petition the court for a harassment prevention order against a person who has violated this statute; and extends the statute of limitations to pursue criminal charges for certain domestic violence offenses from six years to 15 years. duction of innocents for ransom or use as slaves. The slaughter and kidnapping of Israeli Jews is but one arm of a global jihadist movement that extends to Africa and beyond. On June 25 and 26, the African-Jewish Alliance will host a groundbreaking summit in which representatives from the African and Jewish communities will join U.S. officials and journalists in raising awareness of this silent genocide, as well to expose the ideological conThe measure adds coercive control to the definition of abuse. Coercive control is a nonphysical form of abuse that includes a pattern of behavior intended to threaten, intimidate, harass, isolate, control, coerce or compel compliance of a family or household member in a manner that causes the targeted individual to fear physical harm or to have a reduced sense of physical safety or autonomy. Examples of coercive control include threatening to share explicit images, regulating or monitoring a family or household member’s communications and access to services, and isolating a family or household member from friends or relatives. Another provision changes current law under which minors, under 18 years of age, who share explicit images of themselves or other minors, can be charged with violating Massachusetts child pornography laws and are required to register with the Sex Offender Registry. The bill allows minors to be diverted to an educational program that would provide them with information about the consequences of posting or transmitting indecent nections between the “free Palestine” movement in the U.S. and Islamic terrorism in Africa and Israel. The event will be held on June 25 at 10 A.M., in Room 2255 of the Rayburn House Office Building, and at the same time June 26 at the National Press Club. Attendees include: • Frank Wolf, Former U.S. Representative for Virginia (1981 – 2015) • Dr. Charles Jacobs, African visual depictions of minors. “The House has heard the urgent call of survivors to enhance protections and ensure that our laws keep up with technology,” said Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham), House chair of the Judiciary Committee and lead House sponsor of the measure. “But the House does not just listen, we act.” “After so many years of hard work, we are finally at a stage where we can bring closure to those who continue to suffer the consequences, and live under the threat of, revenge pornography and abusive control,” said Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy), lead Senate sponsor of the legislation. “We are sending a message that this kind of activity will not be tolerated in our commonwealth … Once this bill is signed into law, we will be able to rectify and prevent so many injustices across Massachusetts.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven UltrinoYes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes PARENTING (H 4762) Jewish Alliance • Stephen Enada, International Committee on Nigeria • Simon Deng, former slave from South Sudan • Dumisani Washington, Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel • Olga Meshoe Washington, Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel • Faith McDonnell, Katartismos Global • Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Simon Wiesenthal Center House 156-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that supporters say would ensure legal parentage equality by protecting LGBTQ+ families, and children born through surrogacy and assisted reproduction, in forming the legal bond of a parent-child relationship. Supporters said that parental rights and responsibilities are broad and include the ability to attend and make decisions during medical appointments, manage a child’s finances, participate in educational decisions and provide authorizations for a child’s travel. They noted that while Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriage 20 years ago, LGBTQ+ residents continue to face significant barriers in obtaining full legal recognition as a parent. “Today marks a major advancement in the reinforcement of equal rights for LGBTQ+ families in the commonwealth, assuring that children born through assisted reproduction and surrogacy have a clear route to establish their legal parentage,” said Rep. Kay Khan (D-Newton), a lead sponsor of the bill. “A BHRC| SEE PAGE 17 ׉ 7cassandra://BLq8XyMVzS245bZd3qz3JOgwJqc3rghqR8N5-wP-GC8%`̰ftme^׉E3BHRC | FROM PAGE 16 child’s relationship to their parents is core to their overall stability and well-being, and it is from that relationship that so many rights and responsibilities flow.” “The [bill] is a critical piece of legislation for so many families in the commonwealth, particularly LGBTQ+ families,” said Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury), a lead sponsor of the bill. “By updating the commonwealth's parentage laws, we will provide clarity, security and equality in the matters of parentage, reflecting the evolving realities and complexities of assisted reproduction, surrogacy and LGBTQ+ parenthood that has to date left many families vulnerable.” “What we are doing today is giving a tune up to our statutory structure to reflect the modern and contemporary ways that people become parents whether they are straight or gay,” said Rep. Sarah Peake (D-Provincetown). “This is a bill that is good for everyone in the commonwealth of Massachusetts.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes OPIOIDS (H 4743) House 153-0, approved and sent to the Senate legislation that supporters say will cover the licensure of recovery coaches who help people with substance use, make opioid overdose reversal drugs more accessible, protect harm reduction providers and remove barriers that new mothers in recovery face at the time they give birth. Provisions include establishing recovery coach licensing and oversight within the Department of Public Health; and requiring that all health care plans cover recovery coach services and opioid overdose reversal drugs, such as Naloxone, without cost-sharing or prior authorization. The bill protects public health or harm reduction organizations and their agents who provide drug-checking services, such as needle exchange programs, to reduce the risk of accidental overdose, from civil liability or professional disciplinary action and from being criminally charged or prosecuted for possession of drug paraphernalia and illegal possession of controlled substances. Another provision removes “physical dependence upon an addictive drug at birth” from the conditions necessitating a child abuse and neglect report, essentially exempting pregnant people taking medications prescribed by their doctor from automatic investigation by the Department of Children and Families. “The bill passed today builds on the commitment of the House to support individuals and communities across the commonwealth who are dealing with the effects of the opioid crisis,” said Rep. Adrian Madaro (D-East Boston), House chair of the Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery. “This legislation builds on our historical commitment to reducing stigma and providing comprehensive support for individuals in recovery,” said Rep. Jim O'Day (D-West Boylston), lead sponsor of the bill. “By embracing harm reduction strategies, patient education and compassionate care, we are advancing public health and offering renewed hope to those affected by substance use disorders. Together, we are forging a path towards a healthier, more supportive future for all.” “As families across Massachusetts know all too well, the impact of opioid addiction can be utterly devastating for the individual and for their loved ones, which is why a continued focus on combating substance use is a critical responsibility that we have as elected officials,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes VETERANS BENEFITS (S 2817) Senate 38-0, approved a package designed to benefit veterans in the Bay State by broadening the definition of a veteran, increasing tax credits and state benefits for which they are eligible and modernizing the services on which they rely. Provisions include requiring a public school district to provide support services to a military-connected student when a parent or guardian is called to active duty; allowing Gold Star Family spouses to remarry without the penalty of losing their annuity benefit; increasing from $2,000 to $2,500 the amount of a tax credit for each qualified veteran hired by an employer; eliminating the fee for specialty license plates for veterans; increasing local flexibility for veterans property tax exemptions; and allowing municipalities to increase the property tax obligation of a veteran in exchange for volunteer services; Other provisions include modernizing statute language for inclusivity and standardization to ensure gender-neutral and inclusive language while removing antiquated references; allowing veterans to be reimbursed for visits to outpatient behavioral health providers; providing consistent care to veterans by codifying medical assistance benefits; and creating a working group to study and make recommendations on the use of psychedelics as an alternative therapy for mental health treatments for veterans. “Very few are brave enough to raise their hand and pledge to defend our nation and the values that we hold dear, no matter the cost,” said Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield), chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs. ”It is on us - as a commonwealth - to always remember, recognize and honor that sacrifice however we can.” THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 21, 2024 “As a commander in the United States Naval Reserves and an Iraq War veteran, it is my great privilege to serve in a body that commits itself time and time again to honoring our nation's armed service members,” said Sen. Mike Rush (D-Boston), vice chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs. “This legislation passed by the Senate maintains our state’s promise to our service members and their families that they will be honored as they have done for us.” “We don't rest on our laurels in Massachusetts,” said Sen. John Cronin (D-Fitchburg). “This bill modernizes our laws to ensure that the commonwealth remains second to none delivering veterans services and ensures our vets have the support needed to repatriate into our communities." The House has approved a different version of the measure and a House-Senate conference committee will work to hammer out a compromise version. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes MERCHANT MARINE DAY (S 2817) Senate 38-0. approved an amendment designating June 12 as United States Merchant Marine Day in recognition of the establishment of the United States Merchant Marine on June 12, 1775. The amendment was approved last week on June 13 and if eventually approved again by both branches, will not take effect until June 12, 2025. “I co-sponsored this amendment because it rightfully acknowledges the Merchant Marines, who deserve equal recognition among other branches of service,” saidSen. Mike Brady (D-Brockton). “It honors those who have served our country with distinction, affirming their importance.” “I was honored to co-sponsor and vote for [this amendment] said Sen. Pavel Payano (D-Lawrence). “This amendment would recognize the service of Merchant Marines by installing their flag at veteran cemeteries and the Statehouse as well as creating a Massachusetts Merchant Mariner Medal. I was proud to see the Senate pass the amendment with unanimous support.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment). Sen. Jason Lewis Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL SALES TAX HOLIDAY (H 4751) – The House and Senate approved a measure designating August 10 and August 11 as a sales tax holiday weekend for the Bay State, allowing consumers to buy most products that cost under $2,500 without paying the state’s 6.25 percent sales tax. State law currently calls for a 2-day sales tax holiday every year. This bill simply sets the specific dates. “I was happy to sponsor the legislation establishing this year’s sales Page 17 tax holiday,” said Rep. Jerry Parisella (D-Beverly). “This bill emphasizes the Legislature’s commitment to supporting local jobs and businesses. Consumers have faced higher prices for goods due to inflation, so this tax-free weekend is a great opportunity to provide individuals, families and businesses across the commonwealth with some relief.” “The sales tax holiday provides significant relief to families during a time of year where their checkbooks are already stretched from the purchase of back-to-school supplies and other family expenses,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Susan Moran (D-Falmouth). “It's also a vital tool in bolstering our economy, especially for our cherished small businesses, who often operate on thin margins.” “The sales tax holiday is a great opportunity for residents to get out and support the local businesses in their community and get some shopping done during a time of year when people are gearing up for the fall,” said Senate President KarenSpilka (D-Ashland). “I’m glad we worked together in the Legislature to get this done for residents again this year. “Each year, the Legislature’s temporary suspension of the sales tax aims to boost revenue for small businesses and enhance affordability for consumers,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). REQUIRE ALARMS IN RESIDENTIAL SWIMMING POOLS HOT TUBS AND SPAS (H 2389) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would require alarms in all existing, newly-renovated and newly-constructed residential swimming pools, hot tubs and spas. The measure would impose a fine of between $100 and $500 on violators. “I sponsored this legislation in order to bring a higher level of safety to the commonwealth regarding swimming pools,” said sponsor Rep. Angelo Puppolo (D-Springfield). “The installation of a swimming pool alarm is a simple measure that can save a person’s life. An alarm, when activated, detects when someone enters the pool so that no person is unnoticed whether they are an adult or child.” DON’T MISS THIS EVENT: WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THE NEWS INDUSTRY - As the news industry rapidly evolves and struggles with financial challenges, the local media ecosystem continues to adapt.

Jessica Ann Giannino (D-Revere). “Their life has already been altered by their physical disability. They should not suffer a financial penalty for stepping up and protecting the communities they serve, nor should their family. These violent crimes are thankfully few and far between, however when an officer is injured serving and protecting so severely that they can no longer work and provide for their family, they should be covered, one hundred percent.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “It is always a joy to celebrate National Women Veterans Appreciation Day at the Statehouse to honor the remarkable women who have served in our armed forces. We recognize the immense contributions and sacrifices they have made, and their ongoing service to our community, state and country.” --- Gov.

Patricia Ann Hayes Passed away peacefully at the Fuller House in Stoneham on June 13, 2024, surrounded by her beloved family, at the age of 88. She was the devoted wife of Harold “Babe” Hayes for 63 years until Babe’s passing in 2020. Pat was born in Charlestown on June 16, 1935 to the late William and Anna (Kelly) Lynch. She was proud of her Charlestown roots and considered herself a life-long ’townie”. Pat’s strength and resilience can be directly attributed to her upbringing in Charlestown. Pat was predeceased by her brothers John “Jackie”, William “Bill”, and Frances “Whimpy” Lynch, and her sister Catherine Sweeney. She is survived by her siblings Dorothy “Dottie” O’Donnell and Gerald “Jerry” Lynch. In her youth, Pat excelled at many sports. She played basketball and swam competitively. She earned many medals for swimming and for the high dive. For a young woman growing up in the early 1950’s this was an exceptional feat, that Pat was very proud of. Pat and Babe lived for many years on Highland Ave in Malden where they raised their four children. Pat was a very active member of her community. She spent countless hours playing tennis and planning the 4th of July celebrations at Amerige Park. Pat and Babe’s summer tradition of taking their family to Crescent Lake in Wolfeboro was the highlight of their year and this tradition continues to this day. Wolfeboro and the lake were an integral part of the Hayes’ family life. After retirement, Pat and Babe became snowbirds and spent winters in Naples, Florida. The Pars in Naples welcomed her with open arms and she loved being there. You could find Pat playing tennis, swimming, dancing and enjoying any card game that she could find. Her neighbors knew that most likely Pat would win and they would lose some money. Pat had a unique ability to make friends wherever she went. Pat had such a wide variety of interests; cooking, reading, playing mahjong, playing cribbage, listening to music, and weekly card games with her friends of 60 years. She was always able to find a common interest with people and gain a new friend. After Babe passed, Pat lived with her daughter Carol and son-in law John O’Brien. Pat and John spent many evenings together watching the Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, and concerts on PBS. They were great roommates. Pat was the loving mother of Carol O'Brien and her husband John of Malden, the late William Your Hometown News Delivered!

Dear Savvy Senior, Can I stop my Social Security retirement benefi ts and restart them later to get a bigger payment? I recently got a nice unexpected inheritance, so don’t need the money from Social Security right now. If possible, I would like to suspend my benefi ts and restart them at age 70. Do-over Dan Dear Dan, Yes, there are actually two diff erent strategies that allow Social Security benefi ciaries to undo their claiming decision. But to be eligible, there are certain conditions you’ll have to meet. Here’s what you should know. Withdrawal Benefi ts If you are in your fi rst year of collecting retirement benefi ts, you can apply to Social Security for a “withdrawal of benefi ts.” Social Security will let you withdraw your original application for retirement benefi ts, but it must be within 12 months of the date you fi rst claimed your benefi ts. If you opt for a withdrawal, Social Security will treat it as if you never applied for benefi ts in the fi rst place. But there’s a catch. You’ll have to repay every dollar you’ve received, including those of any family members who have been collecting benefi ts on your earnings record, such as a spouse or minor child, along with any money that was withheld from your Social Security payments – for example, to pay your Medicare premiums. You can only withdraw your application for Social Security benefi ts once, but you can apply for benefi ts again later when the monthly amount would be larger. To withdrawal your benefi ts, fi ll out Social Security form SSA-521 (see ssa.gov/forms/ssa-521.pdf) and send the completed form to your local Social Security offi ce. If you change your mind, you have 60 days from the date Social Security approves your withdrawal to cancel the request. Suspend Benefi ts If, however, you miss the 12-month window, or if repaying your Social Security benefi ts is not fi nancially feasible, there is another do-over option, but you’ll need to be full retirement age or older to be eligible. Full retirement age is 66 and 6 months for those born in 1957, but it rises in two-month increments every birth year to age 67 for those born in 1960 and later. You can fi nd your full retirement age at SSA.gov/benefi ts/retirement/planner/ageincrease.html. At that point, you can “suspend” your Social Security benefi t and the good news is you don’t have to repay anything. But the bad news is your monthly Social Security benefi ts stop and so do those of any dependent family members (except a divorced spouse). During the suspension, you will also accrue delayed retirement credits, which will increase your monthly retirement benefi t by two-thirds of 1 percent for each suspended month (or 8 percent for each suspended year) up until age 70. Suspended benefi ts would automatically resume at 70, or you could choose to resume Social Security benefi ts earlier, but you’d only receive delayed retirement credits for the period when benefi ts were suspended. You can request a Social Security suspension over the phone (800-722-1213), in writing or in person at your local Social Security offi ce. The suspension would begin the month after you make the request. Also note that if you’re enrolled in Medicare, there’s another consequence of withdrawing or suspending your benefi ts. Normally, Medicare Part B premiums ($174.70 per month in 2024 for most benefi ciaries) are deducted directly from monthly Social Security payments. If you withdrawal or suspend your benefi ts and you’re enrolled in Medicare Part B, you’ll start receiving a quarterly bill from Medicare. You’ll have the option of paying electronically or by mail. Or you can sign up for Medicare’s Easy Pay, which automatically deducts your premium payments from your savings or checking account each month. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 21, 2024 MUSINGS | FROM PAGE 6 his contributions to the world and his Malden upbringing. First, I’d like to start with these poignant words Ed wrote some years ago. Ed was born in 1918 and passed in 1992 – those 74 years fi lled with spirited adventure, professional accomplishments and exotic world travel but always with a deep-seated love of Malden. Ed was an actor appearing in the original (1968) Hawaii Five-0, 1980’s Magnum, P.I. with Tom Selleck, and the acclaimed 1960 film “Twelve Hours to Kill” with Barbara Eden, Gavin MacLeod and Nico Minardos. He was also an author (“Days of ’41: Pearl Harbor Remembered”), worked as a “ship fi tter” at the Pearl Harbor Shipyard in World War II and was a renowned radio personality later in life in Honolulu. If you are Malden, these words go straight from the Ed’s heart to yours. They jump off the page and grab you much like Elliot Paul and his culturally relevant volume, “Linden on the Saugus Branch.” Where you can see, hear, and smell our beloved Malden of yesteryear: “There is a part of me that will always be Malden. Our family was wealthy in everything but money. My father was a sheet metal worker and my mother, a nurse... moved to Malden ...thinking it a nicer place to raise a family. They were right. Our clothes were always clean - our stomachs full. I left high school after the fi rst year to go to work. After that I got my education at the Malden Public Library. I went to Pearl Harbor in 1940 - where it was always summer - I have always been happy. But I need only to shut my eyes to bring back the faces and places of Malden - its streets of brilliant autumn, moist spring, and silent snow. Summer sassafras and lilac, fresh bread, crisp apples - the slap of a screen door and my mother’s voice summoning me to supper. In my memory there is a Malden that will never change. I am grateful to it - I wish it could have happened to everybody.” In 1984 this appeared in our beloved, late great (David Brickman published) Malden Evening News. I thought it apropos on many levels to include this week: “Malden’s Ed Sheehan wins noted travel writing award Israel honors Ed Sheehan by David Brickman “Malden and the State of Israel have something new in common. Malden native Ed Sheehan, he of the facile pen, and fl owing prose, who makes his home in Honolulu part of the year and during the warmer months in London, where he presently is sojourning with his wife, Sally, has won the 1984 Benjamin of Tudela Award, the Israel Government’s prize for excellence in travel writing on Israel, it was announced last week in New York City. “Sheehan visited Israel in the fall of 1983, to attend the convention of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) meeting held in Jerusalem. His winning article appeared in the Honolulu Sunday Star-Bulletin and Advertiser, the Toronto Star, and in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “Those who know Sheehan and recall his earlier years before World War II in Malden, are not surprised at this new honor. His travel writings published in four continents over the decades, have won many accolades before this one. “The Tudela Ward is named for the medieval Spanish Jewish writer whose visit to the Holy Land in the twelfth century was the basis of a book, ‘The Itinerary of Benjamin Tudela,’ published in 1953 in Constantinople.” More on Ed in the future. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – suff erin’ succotash! Time for another “Corrections & Amplifi cations.” Seems my “1985” article struck a raw nerve or two with a couple of readers. Some thought the portrayal of My Honey Fitz was a bit harsh, that it lacked a balanced representation. Point taken. I had written that the Fitz was known for “brawls, good, stiff drinks and partying until you dropped or heaved.” That’s only partially true – I kid. I spoke to a half dozen or so former patrons and asked for thoughts on the former Malden Square hotspot. To a person, they mentioned what a fun joint it was, that some of the best times of their lives were played out between those four walls. Marty Gately noted how his political acumen was greatly enhanced at the Fitz when the powers that be gathered for cocktails after council meetings – networking, old-school style. Many mentioned Thursday nights at the Fitz as some of the best times of their lives as well as, of course, Saint Patrick’s Day. My time at the Fitz was usually after a hard workout at Y with my bud Greg Phaneuf sitting at the bar with his uncle drinking expertly poured pints of Guinness. Don’t get me wrong, the crowd was loud at times, overindulging a bit (at times) and on (rare?) occasions spilling out onto Pleasant Street. But my experiences were always a pleasure and were in line with the sentiment of those I spoke to. Customers also spoke of very large doormen that had them feeling comfy and cozy – most of the time (LOL). In retrospect, my intention wasn’t to place the Fitz in a harsh light, just to poke a little fun at the memory of the cherished old bucket of blood. Tell you the truth, wish we had more joints in Malden today like the Fitz (Hello, Patrick’s!). —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. ׉ 7cassandra://gXB-bqGCW1z74tuYru12qYwweJkHVyzeo01V_786SAQ%u`̰ftme^׉EzTHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 21, 2024 Page 21 OBITUARIES | FROM PAGE 19 21, 2024 at 10:00 at Immaculate Conception Church 600 Pleasant St. Malden, MA 02148 Paula English Of Malden.
