But there are few cases or investigations that are addressed, looked into and solved in one or two hours on the small or big screen — as they are on a nightly basis, on police shows or movies. What is not squeezed into those accounts are the real-life details — the "nitty gritty" of police life — on the job. A group of Malden High School 11th and 12th graders got a true helping of authentic, real-life information on policing and public safety from a community service lens recently when a Malden Police Department Lieutenant and Sergeant delivered a compelling presentation.

Black History Month inspires Malden High School students, staff for theme-based decorating contest Competition was part of month-long, observance of important cultural event By Steve Freker M alden High School was full of colorful, informative displays representing many diff erent themes during Black History Month, in a local glimpse of a national observance. One of the most popular parts of Black History Month returned to MHS following a two-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The members of the MHS Black Culture Club, under the direction of advisors and staff members Kristy Magras and Michel-Le Meranda, this year brought back the Door Decorating Contest, where they creatively decorated classroom and offi ce doors with theme-based art. The themes were all related to Black History Month. Last week, the Door Decorating Contest was held and a winner was selected after an extensive tour of the school by a trio of "celebrity judges". Leading the tour was Malden High School principal Chris Mastrangelo. Joining him was Malden Mayor and School Committee chairman Gary Christenson and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy. About 20 doors were decoratCONTEST | SEE PAGE 5 er way to express it," said Tivnan, who has spent nearly 20 years in the Malden Public Schools. "It was just a great presentation and the students really got into the subject matter the offi cers were sharing. It was just a great day for our class. "To get so much fi rst-hand information, right from the source, was so valuable to these students," Tivnan added. For Lt. Powell, who is a 14year Malden Police veteran and longtime detective, his appearance was mutually benefi cial. "All of us at the Malden Police Department really enjoy interacting with young people and we are always looking for ways we can do that," Lt. Powell said. "This was another great opportunity for us to meet some Malden kids and talk about policing and service in our community." Lt. Powell said information-sharing is a two-way street. "We like the interaction because we are also very interested in hearing what our young people have to say and to let them know their opinions, perceptions and just what's on their minds, is very important to us," Lt. Powell. Sgt. O'Brien is into his fourth month as a full-time Resource Officer in the Malden Public Schools.

"In my position now, I interact with students in the schools every day and it has been a great experience," Sgt. O'Brien said. "It was great to be able to go into a classroom and see what students in this specific class on Criminal Justice had on their minds" Sgt. O'Brien said. Both officers told the class of 23 students of their backgrounds. Lt. Powell himself is a Malden High School graduate from the decade of the 1990s. He is a 14-year veteran of the Malden PD and in addition to his duties in the Detectives Division; he serves as MPD's fi rst Civil Rights Offi cer. If a case or a complaint has a civil rights element to it, Lt. Powell becomes the lead investigator charged with resolving the issue. Earlier in his career, Lt. Powell worked on many undercover cases on loan to the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). He described several memorable cases to the students, of cases where he made "buys" of illicit fi rearms and/or drugs in the course of investigations, eliciting a slew of questions from students on LEARNING | SEE PAGE 9 AND THE WINNER IS! — Mayor Gary Christenson, center, Supt.

Since MPS began reporting the numbers on its district website – right after the school year began in September – the overall number of new virus cases reported on the “COVID-19 Dashboard” has been in single digits for the periods ending March 16 and March 23. For the latest reporting period, released Wednesday, that included just nine cases districtwide and zero cases at five of the seven MPS schools: no cases at Malden High School, Early Learning Center (ELC), Linden STEAM Academy, Salemwood or Forestdale. There were five cases at the Beebe School and four at Ferryway School. Of the nine total cases, six cases out of the total MPS population of over 6,400 students (less than 1/10th of 1%) and three cases of over 500 staff members (2/3 of 1%) were stated in the latest reporting period ending March 23. Overall, Massachusetts has seen a dramatic drop in COVID-19 cases statewide, which has prompted most communities to drop pandemic mask restrictions in public spaces and in schools. The massive drop in cases and hospitalizations came beginning in early February, following a spike in virus infections caused by the highly contagious COVID-19 omicron variant in late December into mid-January. Despite the drop, there have been some isolated, recent outbreaks in cases at schools which have caused the brief closings of at least two schools in Eastern Mass. in the past two weeks. Last week, after 44 COVID-19 cases were reported in the sixth grade at the Concord Middle School in Peabody, the school was ordered shut down for deep cleaning on Friday, but it reopened earlier this week. Public health experts have been urging leaders to continue to invest in pandemic preparedness despite the drop in cases, advising that new variants and surges can still arise. Current1,900 students attending Malden High School continue to wear the protective masks every day inside the building, despite the existence of the “no mask” option. Supt. Noriega-Murphy stressed at the most recent COVID-19 | SEE PAGE 8 AUTOTECH ly, national and state experts are eyeing the uptick in cases in Europe, apparently driven by the variant BA.2, which is also referred to as “stealth omicron.” The City of Malden lifted its indoor mask mandate in February, and on March 7 the Malden School Committee voted, 7-2, to lift the mask mandate in the Malden Public Schools. Dating back to February 2021, when individual Malden school buildings successively began to reopen to in-person learning – per individual family choice – all students and staff were required to wear protective facemasks at all times inside the buildings. This policy was reinforced with another School Committee vote at an August meeting, just prior to schools reopening. At the time of the recent vote, there was an anxious tone to the comments made by nearly all the School Committee members who voted on lifting the mask mandate in the schools, along with Superintendent Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy. Specifically, some expressed concern over potential negative reactions by students in the schools who decided to no longer wear the masks toward those who chose the option of continuing with the mask wearing. That concern apparently has gone by the wayside as across the district, particularly at the high school level – the age group of 14-19 most susceptible of all of them for COVID-19 transmission – many students and some staff have opted to continue to wear the masks.

The bill now goes to the Massachusetts Senate. Shortly following the bill’s passage in the Massachusetts House, the United States House of Representatives followed suit by passing the federal version of the legislation (235-189). “This is an historic moment for Massachusetts. The success of the CROWN Act on the federal level speaks to its significant impact but also shows how this is a shared experience amongst many across the nation. I am beyond delighted that the CROWN Act passed unanimously in the House, and words cannot describe how great it is to see the years of hard work from advocates, staff , legislators and community members bear fruit,” said Ultrino. “We have sent a clear message: race-based discrimination has no place in our Commonwealth. With our votes, we ensured that a person’s racial and cultural identity will no longer be an obstacle Paul Donato State Representative to their education, professional career, and path to success. I am confi dent that the bill will be well received in the Senate with the support of Senators Gomez and DiDomenico. Lastly, I would like to thank Speaker Mariano, Chair Michlewitz, Chair Day and Representative Tyler for their support and guidance throughout this journey.” “Today, marks a great day for Black and Brown communities throughout the Commonwealth,” said State Representative Chynah Tyler, who is chair of the Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus. “Black women are more policed in the workplace than any other racial or ethnic group based on the way they choose to wear their hair. The passing of this legislation gets us one step closer to ending a barrier for communities of color in Massachusetts.” “I am proud to join the unanimous House in passing the CROWN Act,” said Lipper-Garabedian. “When enacted, this legislation will end racial discrimination against natural and culturally signifi cant hairKate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative styles. I’m particularly mindful of the importance of this legislation for our young people who should feel embraced and empowered in their identity – from the classroom to the corporate boardroom.” “The passing of the CROWN Act is an important step in ensuring that workplaces, schools, and places of housing across the commonwealth are creating safe and non-discriminatory environments,” said Donato. “These racist practices, often targeted at black women, are a continued attempt to override our anti-discrimination laws. We must remain committed to tearing down the barriers that people of color overwhelmingly face in their professional and personal lives.” With overwhelming support and dedication from the national CROWN Coalition, Massachusetts Appleseed Center for Law and Justice, ACLU Massachusetts, New England Blacks in Philanthropy, and many others, Massachusetts is en route to become one of 14 states to pass legislation prohibiting racebased hair discrimination.

In October 2012, the Fulton Ross Group was awarded a $500,000 contract funded by The National Endowment for the Arts to design a gateway public art installation in Opa-locka, Florida. Called “Many Voices, One Story,” the installation centered on a monumental, 30-foot high sculpture of an inspirational matriarch, complemented by an interactive program to engage local residents and raise awareness of art. The painting “Modern Sojourner” is a Fulton Ross tour de force done in her signature figurative style, capturing the wisdom and strength CONTEST | FROM PAGE 1 ed by Black Culture Club members and others. "The students are amazing with their creative artwork," Dr. Gale Fulton Ross of the family matriarch, a reprise of the theme of the artist’s massive public artwork in Opa-locka. Fulton Ross was raised in Malden, the oldest of nine children. Fulton Ross displayed an aptitude for art at a very young age, which was nurtured by her father, Herman Fulton, himself an accomplished but unheralded automobile designer. He frequently referred to her as “baby artist.” Fulton Ross studied at the recognize Black History Month." After the tour and tabulations were completed, the winner was selected and it was a "Black is Beautiful"-themed project on the door of Ms. Meranda's room, Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, where she explored a wide variety of styles and media, including sculpture. She also attended the California College of Arts and Crafts in San Francisco, concentrating in the study of Fine Arts and Art History. In addition to college training, she studied under the guidance of established artists, including Melvin Johnson, at the Vesper George School of Art, Boston; Cleveland Bellow, of the DeYoung Museum, San Francisco, California; and Pierre Parsus, of France. The Malden Public Library is honored to have three other works by Fulton Ross in its permanent collection. Early in her career, Fulton Ross traveled extensively throughout Africa, Europe and as far east as China, in order to study and paint. Fulton Ross cites several modern-day African-American masters as influences on her work, primarily Charles White, Elizabeth Catlett, Samella Lewis, and Beauford Delaney, as well as the classical masters Michelangelo, DaVinci and Rembrandt. Her work incorporates both the figurative and the abstract. She has become a highly regarded portrait artist whose portfolio includes commissions for many leading professionals, celebrities and politicians. Among them are Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Justice Thurgood Marshall, Governors Michael Dukakis and L. Douglas Wilder and author and activist James Baldwin as well as professional athletes Jackie Robinson and Arthur Ashe. Fulton Ross continues to create, driven by the passion of her life.

Something I say a lot is... “At least they don’t smoke.” It is actually funnier in Italian (Almeno Non Fumano) as it was meant to say, “things could be worse.” You could tell I was brought up by older Italians. 7. I consider myself to be... A caring person. 8. I need to have... Purpose in life. 9. My favorite movie of all time is... Pete’s Dragon with Mickey Rooney (childhood); Patch Adams with Robin Williams (adult). 10. My all-time role model is... My parents and grandparents. 11. I respect people who...

Bar Association’s 2022 Mock Trial Tournament M alden Catholic High School (MC) was recently named winner of the Massachusetts Bar Association’s 36th annual high school 2022 Mock Trial Tournament State Finals. MC prevailed against Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School in South Hadley (PVPA) at the State Finals Trial, which was conducted virtually. This is Malden Catholic’s first Mock Trial state championship. Next up for MC is the National High School Mock Trial Championship – which will also be conducted virtually – from May 5–7. Ninety-five high schools from around Massachusetts competed in the 2022 Mock Trial Program, which placed high school teams from across the state in simulated courtroom situations where they assumed the roles of lawyers, defendants and witnesses in hypothetical cases. From January through March, the teams competed in over 150 trials using a virtual format. This year the teams at the State Finals Trial were presented with a criminal case using the following scenario: On Nov. 29, 2019, Alex MacArthur, Katherine Denger and Clarke Painter drove to Leo’s Convenience Store for the alleged purpose of collecting an alleged debt that one of the store employees, Hank Isselback, owed to Painter. Gunplay ensued and Isselback’s sibling, Daniel, was fatally shot by MacArthur, who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is awaiting sentencing. Denger has been charged with accessory to murder and is awaiting trial. In this case, the defendant, Painter, is charged with first-degree felony murder for participating as joint venturer with MacArthur and Denger in the commission or attempted commission of the predicate felony of armed robbery, which resulted in the death of Daniel Isselback. MC played the role of the defense in the State Finals Trial, and PVPA played the role of the prosecution. Before the championship round commenced, Massachusetts Bar Association President Thomas Bond welcomed Melrose Arts & Crafts Society announces March meeting T he March meeting of the Melrose Arts & Crafts Society will be held at the First Baptist Church (561 Main St. in Melrose) on Monday, March 28 at 9 a.m. This month Gina Stuffle will be instructing members on how to make a spring or Easter basket. She will also be supplying all the materials needed to those who have signed up the previous month and paid a small fee. Earlier this month, Pat Boyer, a longtime member of Melrose Arts & Crafts, delivered to Oga Farham, of Saugus, dozens of teddy bears, hats, scarves and blankets made by herself and other members of the society for almost immediate delivery to Ukraine. Because of the great need of such items, members will be stuffing teddy bears and again donating homemade items at the March meeting that will be sent in the next shipment to the brave and beleaguered people of Ukraine. Later on a business meeting will be held, followed by tea and coffee. If you are interested in learning a new craft, improving an old one or just meeting other crafters, please contact Dorothy Iudice at 781-662-2099 if you have any questions.

That’s what any job requires you to do,” Bond said. “To think on your feet, to see both sides of an argument, these are great transferable skills, and you got a great start here.” The state championship was judged by a three-member panGerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

Sgt. O'Brien held the students' rapt attention when he described details on how jet fi ghters landed and departed the surface of the navy carriers. "The students paid special attention to Sgt.

Malden High Principal Chris Mastrangelo sat in for a good portion of the presentation and said he was highly impressed. Malden Police Lt.

(Courtesy/Blue and Gold) By Juliana Luong MHS Blue and Gold T he Greater Boston League Champion Malden High School gymnastics team ended their season on a good note. Compared to the previous season with COVID, gymnastics head coach Katie Bowdridge said, “This year was much better than last year” with returning gymnasts and new ones. While the season showed satisfying outcomes, the hard work came from the athletes and gymnasts themselves. Senior Nathan Weng stated, “The hardest part of the season was getting back into routine and practicing every day after school.” Returning to the schedule was not the only struggle as Weng also said stamina was an issue and how he worked through that obstacle by using repetition for long time periods. As athletes have tried their best to bring normalcy back to sports, masks and restrictions still came into play. Coach Bowdridge described how fl oor routines were especially diffi cult, seeing as the routines are a minute and a half long with continuous motion and determination to seek perfection with a mask on.

A six-year member of the program, Guo is a two-year captain who left an indelible mark on the program’s record books. She is the school record holder in the 200 Individual Medley (IM), 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke and part of all three relay teams (200 medley, 200 freestyle, 400 freestyle) that swam the fastest time in school history. What’s just as remarkable is that Guo sits within the top five fastest in the 50 freestyle (fourth), 100 freestyle (third), 200 freestyle (third) and 500 freestyle (third).In fact, she has swum the program’s eighth-fastest time in the 100 breaststroke, meaning she is represented on all eight Top 10 lists. In 2022, she claimed gold in both the 200 IM and 100 butterfly at the CAC Championships as well as a 400 freestyle relay team title.She departs the CAC as the all-time leading medal winner in girls swimming. A junior, Cheng is the program’s record holder in the 100 butterfly and also, as an eighth-grader, was a part of the 400 freestyle relay team in 2019 who swam faster than any quartet in Eagles history.Cheng is high atop Eagles Top 10 lists, sitting only behind state champion Christian Kinnon (’16) in the 50 freestyle, third in the 100 freestyle, third in the 500 freestyle, fourth in the 200 IM and tied for ninth in the 100 breastHONORS | SEE PAGE 19 Senior Deanna Guo, Head Coach Andrew DiGiacomo and junior Jeremy Cheng (Photo Courtesy of Mystic Valley Regional Charter School) QUARANTINE | SEE PAGE 14 ׉ 7cassandra://qIO3d33etLjNp1qBUGbcrdNzkbRm6gUHpLHXXq9i7J8(`̰b<2~qj׉E UTHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 25, 2022 Page 15 ~ Malden Neighborhood Basketball League ~ Madness Mayhem Saturday, March 19: Game 1 – Sixers 87, Bullets 55 The Crimson maintained their dominance this season by taking care of the very young Boys in Blue, who held their own the best they could as they squeaked into the fourth slot at the last minute. The Bullets’ top scorers were Cameron Kilpatrick (14), Logan Guertin (11) and Paccini Louis (10), but they just couldn’t keep up the pace – but have a great future if they can all return next season. The Sixers’ top guns were Ross Dyer (35) and Darrens Roc (18), but they also got some big help from Ivan Tao (13) and Gui Nommi (12); they went up 8, 12, 17 – basically game over – moving to the title game, still unblemished. Game 2 – Pistons 54, Sonics 43: The Pistons had to come back from a 10-point deficit at the half and did it in fine fashion by holding the Sonics to just three points in the third quarter as they scored 14 to gain the lead & not look back. Everyone scored for the Pistons in this contest: Jayson Dos Reis led with 13; Bobby Spoto & Nikoliss McDuffie each scored 11. The Sonics were led by Jameel Dorceena (22, the game high) and Isiah Normil (13); they just needed a more balanced attack as only four of the eight scored for them this game. Sunday, March 20: Game 1 – Coaches 77, Players 72 A different game to end a different type of season, as only six players dressed for the All-Stars going up against nine coaches. The Players were all over the place, causing havoc to the older Coaches. But when “Mighty” Joe Young (Celtics Coach) took over the third, scoring 11 of his 28, and Kings Coach Rob Hart hit three from deep in the same quarter, ending with 15, the Coaches basically got & kept the lead the remainder of the contest, especially when it was A. Cohen carrying them in the second quarter, scoring all 10 of his for the Coaches. The Players were led by Oscar Ruan with a game high of 32 – who also dropped an All-Star record of 8 from the 3-point area – and Logan Guertin, who scored 13 in this close loss for the players. Coaches back on top, after losing the previous two contests! Three-Point Contest: won by Sixers – Ivan Tao. Hot Shot Contest: won by The Sixers celebrate their win as 2022 MNBL Champions. Ivan Tao Hawks – Oscar Ruan. Game 3 – Sixers 70, Pistons 50: The Pistons, for a bit, slowed the normally “foot on the pedal” Sixers in the first half, but thanks to the odds-on favorite for League MVP – Ross Dyer – who took over the second half by scoring 34 of his game high 43, followed by Darrens Roc with 14, they were en route to the Championship Victory. Bobby Spoto (25) & Jayson Dos Reis (13) did what they could, and they were only down by one at the halfway break, but then got outOscar Ruan scored by 15 in the third. R. Dyer dropped 20 alone in that quarter. The Pistons just couldn’t stop the man but should still hold their heads up high for rocking the second-place slot most of the year as well as making the Big Dance. The year 2022 is in the Books with just the Banquet to come soon enough. ׉ 7cassandra://4hViZHNMTN5MuJCyiESpJ0fE888ivXeScn_F4byg_wY)2`̰b<2~qkb<2~qj PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://RaXp7QUEIWZuVQQHGpJQFBwGjP5iGpp75LfEaO-CXnw1`)׉ 7cassandra://MI9cqlxi5dpkxxpoxC6oxcZ7zrRZcTEOzBJuX8HKUzQ`J׉ 7cassandra://y7vrFB1d35msjiK2Hfn9zrL7gDtgH6WPnbRrtV_4Wxk$a`̰׉ 7cassandra://l-erceFaSLA4i54qN1k_f3M8p5fVUtk2rP49shUT8SQ71X͠b<9~qט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://9NRMokHwdLvK8EvWDO3zcwTL1VqTNcHXuixfDdoeQ9w V`)׉ 7cassandra://2Ja_2Khy0H8ynMIWSWAW2RuWq8jRZMny41_mVUGofG4͏)`J׉ 7cassandra://DRPBJ9E8efR11fk_qvwfWXXUM-9WrhlmztbvAdohfXw$`̰׉ 7cassandra://XNDy8iZFjpSDqKjDg9aTWSXPk56N-dWJFNM31Ji6PcAl͠b<9~qנb<9~qf9ׁHhttp://SavvySenior.orgׁ ׁ Јנb<9~q̓9ׁHhttp://MyHolySmoke.comׁ ׁ Јנb<9~q܁̇9ׁHhttp://ArtFromAshes.comׁ ׁ Јנb<9~qO܁X9ׁHhttp://itPieces.comׁ ׁ Јנb<9~q =Ɓ̧9ׁHhttp://CloseByMeJewelry.comׁ ׁ Јנb<9~qVr9ׁHhttp://Andvinyly.comׁ ׁ Јנb<9~q )\9ׁHhttp://Celestis.comׁ ׁ Јנb<9~q ge9ׁHhttp://Mesoloft.comׁ ׁ Јנb<9~q ny9ׁHhttp://EternalReefs.comׁ ׁ Јנb<9~qO{9ׁHhttp://themselves.Thׁ ׁ Јנb<9~q [b9ׁHhttp://UrnaBios.comׁ ׁ Јנb<9~q̃9ׁHhttp://TheLivingUrn.comׁ ׁ Јנb<9~q &a9ׁHhttp://Amazon.comׁ ׁ Јנb<9~qod̾9ׁH!mailto:bob@beaconhillrollcall.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 25, 2022 A NATURAL HAIRSTYLE (H 4554) House 155-0, approved and Beacon 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.

There were no roll calls in the Senate last week. FORBID DISCRIMINATION AGAINST A PERSON WITH sent to the Senate a bill that would prohibit any person or entity including educational institutions, workplaces and public spaces from implementing any policy that would explicitly target someone who wears their natural hairstyle. The measure defines natural hairstyle as “hair texture, hair type and protective hairstyles including braids, locks, twists and other formations.” The bill also expands existing anti-bullying law in schools to include recognition for students who may be more vulnerable to bullying or harassment because of their natural hairstyle. Another provision requires the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination to investigate complaints filed against employers who have discriminated based on natural hairstyle. “This is an historic moment for Massachusetts. I am beyond delighted that the [bill] passed unanimously in the House, and words cannot describe how great it is to see the years of hard work from advocates, staff, legislators and community members bear fruit,” said co-sponsor Rep. Steve Ultrino (D-Malden). “Today, the votes in our chamber sent a clear message: racebased discrimination has no place in our commonwealth. On this day, we ensured that a person’s racial and cultural identity will no longer be an obstacle to their education, professional career and path to success.” There was a light moment during floor debate on the bill. “As you may have guessed, I have never experienced hair discrimination,” said Rep. Ultrino, who is bald. “People of color across the commonwealth, particularly Black women, continue to face discrimination in school, in the workplace and in public spaces based on the texture and style of their hair,” said Rep. Michael Day (D-Stoneham), House Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary. “It is racism, and this bill is necessary to address continued attempts to outflank our laws against discrimination based on race." The House approved the bill in the 2019-2020 session on July 31, 2020 and sent it to the Senate Ways and Means Committee where it died without further action and without a vote by the full Senate. Beacon Hill Roll Call asked Senate President Karen Spika (D-Ashland) and Senate Ways and Means chair Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport) to explain why the Senate Ways and Means Committee in 2020 did not act on what seems to be a non-controversial bill and if they think the bill will die in committee again this year or get through the committee and be approved the Senate. Despite repeated requests, neither Spilka’s office nor Rodrigues’ office responded. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes CREATING WOMEN’S RIGHTS HISTORY TRAIL PROGRAM (H 4555) House 154-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would require the state to develop and implement a Women’s Rights History Trail program. The measure includes requiring the state to designate properties and sites that are historically and thematically associated with the struggle for women’s rights and women’s suffrage. Another provision provides that the state promote education and awareness of the struggle for women’s rights in the commonwealth. A 13-member Women’s Rights History Trail Task Force would be formed to research, solicit public input and make recommendations for sites, properties and attractions to be included in the trail. “I am humbled and proud to sponsor this legislation,” said Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury). “This legislation ensures that the many women from our commonwealth who contributed to the fabric of our nation and democracy are recognized, and their accomplishments preserved in our state’s history, so that their legacies may serve as inspiration for future generations of young women.” "The establishment of this trail continues Massachusetts’ commitment to honoring women BHRC | SEE PAGE 17 ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI22C0224CA In the matter of: Liliana Jayde Frost CITATION ON PETITION TO CHANGE NAME A Petition to Change Name of Minor has been filed by Liliana Jayde Frost of Malden, MA requesting that the court enter a Decree changing their name to: Liliana Jayde McCarthy IMPORTANT NOTICE Any person may appear for purposes of objecting to the petition by filing an appearance at: Middlesex Probate and Family Court before 10:00 a.m. on the return day of 04/11/2022.

Once the project is completed, Redfern and his colleagues will be responsible for ensuring that the invasive plants stay out of the Fells. “It’s an ongoing commitment to do this kind of work,” he said. The grant is part of a $1.2 million thrust to improve the State Parks System. In addition to the Fells, 28 other projects will be supported through the DCR Partnerships Matching Funds Program. “The DCR Partnership Matching Funds Program allows us to work with dedicated stakeholders, such as municipalities, nonprofi ts and other community-based organizations to make significant investments within the Massachusetts State Parks System,” said Energy and Environmental Aff airs Secretary Kathleen Theoharides. “Importantly, this funding will be used to improve ecological health as well enhance and expand public use and enjoyment for years to come.” DCR Acting Commissioner Stephanie Cooper also spoke in favor of the Partnership Matching Funds Program. “The Department of Conservation and Recreation is proud to work with so many passionate stakeholders through the Partnership Matching Funds Program,” she said. “The funding provided to this year’s deserving projects will make great improvements to agency assets and will enhance the visitor experience.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Rep. Paul DonatoYes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of March 1418, the House met for a total of three hours and 53 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 56 minutes. Mon.

If you choose this route, keep in mind that some places, such as national parks, require a permit. And many public areas, like parks or sports stadiums may prohibit scattering.

Or you may want to use an old cookie jar or favorite container that reminds your family of you. Bury/inter them: The burial option is good if you wish to have a special place for your family to visit. This is also the only option for cremated ashes sanctioned by the Catholic Church, which specifi es that ashes of the dead should be kept in sacred places like a cemetery or a columbarium and not kept at home or scattered.

Turn them into a record: If you love music, a UK company called Vinlyly (Andvinyly.com) will turn your ashes into a vinyl record. You supply the music (or voice recording) and cover image, and the company creates a memorial that your family can listen to for years to come.

Congratulations, Albert. Franny, how does it feel to be married to a Hall of Famer? Insert smiley face Ten musings from the immensely creative pen of the late John O’Brien, whose wit and wisdom endeared him to generations of Malden High School students, Maldonians and faculty at MHS. Here are 10 of my favorite witticisms from his iconic “Musings” columns: 1. “A Russian napkin is a Soviet serviette.” 2. “Ex-streakers are overbearing.” 3. “In a conservative bookstore, the customer is always right.” 4. “A crab apple a day keeps the psychiatrist away.” 5. “Bikinis: you have to draw the line somewhere.” 6. “When she brought the T.V. Guide to bed, I knew our prime time was dead.” 7. “Well, Bud, wiser men than you drink beer.” 8. “Carson for the vulgar, Paar for the coarse.” 9. “Only a chump chomps like a chimp, champ.” 10. “Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fl y, oil gotta spill, I gotta cry.” “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – Devir Park is in the news again (and it ain’t all bad this time – insert smiley face). The ole ballyard is due for a complete makeover in the near future. I literally grew up in that green sanctuary on the Fells: my second home. Devir Park memories, I have a few... I mixed it up recently, had my Sunday morning cup of Donut Villa coff ee with my Globe and Malden Advocate at Devir Park instead of the Forestdale Cemetery. I parked adjacent to the big-league diamond. In days of yore this end of Devir was not a parking lot. Foul balls off the bats of America Legion or Augustine Athletics hitters would land harmlessly on the green behind the home team’s stone bench. The big-league diamond is basically gone in 2022. Jack from Sunrise Postal and his friends use it for cricket these days.

Some of the best “mud bowls” were on that infi eld diamond. I remember Angelo Nardone sending DPW crews to the park after a hard rain. They would spend hours trying to get the infi eld in game shape. Many big Inter City League contests were played in the ’70’s on that fi eld: standing room only crowds, 1520 deep most nights. After the DPW left, Stevie Ring would stop by and spend time on the fi eld getting it just right, the way his ace pitcher Dave “Athlete of the Decade” Caiazzo liked it. The shade tree in right fi eld still looms large. I, Annette Magistro, Mike Scibelli, Jay Gramolini, Patty Colangeli, Ricky DiPietro, Frankie Levine, Beth Sampson, Rose Ann Tomasello, Paul Figelski, Jimmy & Jerry Damiano and Greg Lucey spent many a warm summer afternoon under that tree playing whist. The Bandstand is Devir Park folklore now, but at one time it was the center of the universe for many youngsters. Too many Bandstand memories to recall, not many fi t for print in a family newspaper (insert smiley face?), though one of my fondest memories was of showing up late at night at the park (early 1970s), plugging in an old black and white TV then lighting up an old hibachi for midnight barbecue – Johnny Carson, Don Kirschner’s Rock Concert or Jimmy Cagney movies preferred. Bruce Field consisted of crabgrass and weeds. It had no concession stand but was surrounded by the ugliest green wooden fence you ever did see. During the Saint Rocco Feast the infi eld was used for earth shattering fi reworks. Unheard of today. The trees that were planted as saplings on the Emerald Street side (in front of the Durso, McCarthy, Petrangelo, McFarland, and Guerin houses) sometime in the early 1970s have matured and have really enhanced the beauty of the park. The basketball court was located where the tennis courts are currently located. I had many battles on those courts with the sharp elbows of Dave Angelo. Two full courts and if memory serves me correctly two tennis courts – most of the time in full use. There was a wading pool just about where the basketball court meets the children’s playground today. A circular asphalt hole in the ground with a metal pipe jutting up the middle – water gushing out of said pole at about 150 mph, leaving bruises noticeable for weeks. Our park instructors (Tom Powers, Ed “Porky” Garrant, Perry Verge, Donna Angelo, Cliff Cioffi) would sweep up the broken glass on the asphalt, then (John) Monte would go down that musty old cellar under the Bandstand and turn the water on – a lifesaver on many hot summer days. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ MALDEN PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING The Malden Planning Board will hold a public hearing in the Herbert L.
