The next minute that all changed and a tragedy was narrowly averted when a large chunk of concrete parapet came crashing down onto the sidewalk from the roof of a 94-year-old apartment building. One Malden City Councillor called it “a miracle” that no one was hurt or killed by the unexpected – and frightening – roof collapse. “How no one was hurt in that area is a miracle, to say the least,” Malden Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora said Tuesday night as he and his colleagues got a detailed, in-depth report of the incident at 166 Salem St. from Malden COLLAPSE | SEE PAGE 8 The 166 Salem St. Mount Vernon apartments are closed down following the roof collapse last Saturday.

For more than 20 years, she has worked in the Public Facilities Department, stepping up wherever needed. Whether she was working to keep the buildings in great shape, monitoring the mailroom or keeping employees’ plants alive, she has always epitomized the meaning of hard work and dedication. “I have always felt that we are only as good as the people around us and Dotty exemplifi es that philosophy,” said Christenson. “Dotty has been invaluable to the Department and she will truly be missed.” (Photo Courtesy of the City of Malden) Malden Public Schools opening fill-time, five days, in-person for Grades K-5 Monday Informative session held for parents, caregivers, and students virtually on Tuesday By Steve Freker S tudents in Grades K-5 in the Malden Public Schools will return to classes full-time, fi ve days a week and in-person on Monday, due to a mandate by the state Department of Secondary and Elementary Education (DESE).

The comprehensive legislation includes unemployment insurance rate relief for businesses, tax relief for unemployed workers and businesses that received federal Paycheck Protection Program loans, an extension to the income tax filing deadline, and new emergency paid sick leave benefits for workers. The emergency paid sick leave provision included within the bill was based on legislation filed last year by Senator Jason Lewis and Representatives Paul Donato and Sean Garballey to respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency. “No worker should have to choose between staying home if they risk spreading COVID-19 and earning a paycheck to support their family, sistent leadership of Senator Lewis and Representatives Donato and Garballey mean that this important measure will soon be available to Massachusetts working people and their loved ones.” Employers will be required Jason Lewis State Senator but unfortunately this impossible choice faces many workers who do not have adequate job-protected paid sick leave during this pandemic, especially low-income essential workers,” said State Senator Jason Lewis. “I'm very pleased that emergency paid sick time is included within this legislation, and grateful to my colleagues, the Raise Up coalition and business leaders for working collaboratively to make this possible.” “Giving working people acFrom foundation to finish, let’s make it happen.

The bill also establishes a COVID-19 Emergency Paid Sick Leave Fund, which will be administered by the Executive Office for Administration and Finance and used to reimburse eligible employers for providing emergency paid sick leave to their employees. The relief package includes a two-year unemployment insurance (UI) rate freeze for employers to mitigate the impact of a scheduled April rate increase. It also waives state taxes on forgiven federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans as well as federal Economic Injury Disaster Loans. In addition to mitigating the scheduled UI rate increase, the bill authorizes up to $7 billion in low-interest borrowing to repay federal UI loans and includes a temporary two-year employer assessment to ensure the state’s UI Trust Fund remains solvent.

John O’Brien made the Dean’s List. Here’s the point! The local newspaper printed the names of Malden residents who made the Dean’s List! Sorry about all the exclamation points. But this greatly increased the probability of me being here! Elizabeth Prince, a teller in a Malden bank at the time, read the paper and saw the list. She wrote a hand-written letter to her ex-MHS classmate. Apparently, writing and mailing letters wasn’t considered strange back in the day. It was simply to say: Congrats. “John went to the bank where Elizabeth worked, simply to say, thank you for the letter. It was lunch time. What were they going to do? Eat alone?

The school population reflects the definition of an environmental justice population as written in the Climate Change Bill. (See Appendix A for school data) “Environmental justice principles”, principles that support protection from environmental pollution and the ability to live in and enjoy a clean and healthy environment, regardless of race, color, income, class, handicap, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, ethnicity or ancestry, religious belief or English language proficiency, which includes: (i) the meaningful involvement of all people with respect to the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies, including climate change policies; and (ii) the equitable distribution of energy and environmental benefits and environmental burdens. The Malden Education Association has written to the Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs in opposition of the proposed project due to the effect it will have on the students at the Salemwood School concerning their socio economic status, limited English language proficiency, ethnicity and national origin of the student population. A planned renovation of this park would remove the environmental benefits, as stated in the bill, for these students and the surrounding neighborhood. “Environmental benefits-as defined in the Climate Bill”, “the access to clean natural resources, including air, water resources, open space, constructed playgrounds and other outdoor recreational facilities and venues…” Instead of removing the lead contamination across the field and remediating the park with clean soil and natural grass, the multi-million dollar planned sports complex, which will primarily benefit those outside this neighborhood and school community, will introduce additional contaminants consisting of tons of plastic turf, rubber backing and a styrofoam pad creating an environmental burden for the neighborhood and the school community. The natural resource of a grass park for community use will be extricated; plastics and microplastics will runoff into the Saugus Branch Brook culvert, a stormwater tributary to the Malden River disqualifying the hard work of cleaning up the river over the past several years. The Friends of the Malden River have written a letter of opposition to the plan to remove a natural grass park because of the negative impact a synthetic (plastic) grass field will have on the environment concerning pollution of soil and water ways, and introducing another heat island to the City of Malden. Currently, these fields are not being recycled as promised by the industry, instead, they are responsible for hundreds of used artificial turf graveyards which are storing these used fields or they are being dumped into landfills. (Appendix D see attached photos). As written in the Climate Change Bill-“Environmental burdens”, any destruction, damage or impairment of natural resources that is not insignificant, resulting from intentional or reasonably foreseeable causes, including but not limited to, air pollution, water pollution, improper sewage disposal, dumping of solid wastes and other noxious substances, excessive noise, activities that limit access to natural resources and constructed outdoor recreational facilities and venues, inadequate remediation of pollution, reduction of groundwater levels, impairment of water quality, increased flooding or storm water flows, and damage to inland waterways and water bodies, wetlands, marine shores and waters, forests, open spaces, and playgrounds from private industrial, commercial or government operations or other activity that contaminates or alters the quality of the environment and poses a risk to public health. The Malden Vulnerability Plan states that Roosevelt Park is key to mitigating flooding in the surrounding neighborhood and the Salemwood School. It also states that the park, as grass with a tree canopy, is key to mitigating a heat island effect in this densely populated neighborhood.

There are a lot of older buildings in our city, and we have to address this issue immediately, in all of our neighborhoods,” Councillor DeMaria said. “It's a blessing no one was hurt or worse because of this.” About 35 residents of the 32unit, four-story building were evacuated from the Mount Vernon Apartments and remain out of the building, displaced until or unless the building is declared safe for occupancy. Malden fi re department and police were on scene within minutes after the roof collapse, as well as EMTs and ambulance personnel, though, amazingly, no one was hurt in the incident. The apartment building is located at the corner of Salem and Mt.

That's one black trash cart and one blue recycling cart per unit. An example would be a 3 family house which will receive three sets of carts. *** What can I put inside my black trash cart? Just remember this rhyme before you put anything inside of the black trash cart “Blue Bag or Trash Tag."When you fi rst receive your black trash cart that will be delivered to your curb in April, you can immediately begin using it by placing your blue bag inside. In July you will have the ability to use your black trash cart an additional way.

In reference to Councillors Spadafora and DeMaria’s remarks, as well as those from Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy, in whose ward the building is located, Miller said Mayor Christenson had already indicated he intends to request City Council approval for an allocation of $75,000 to fund a citywide survey/inspection of at risk buildings.

Sincerely yours, Friends of Roosevelt Park and the Salemwood School Community Cc Senator Ed Markey Senator Elizabeth Warren Representative Katherine Clark MVES receives grant from Meals on Wheels and PetSmart Charities to support older adults and their pets M ystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) received a $4,000 emergency pet food grant through a partnership between Meals on Wheels America and PetSmart Charities®. Funding was used to meet an increased demand for MVES’s pet-related services and to overcome infrastructure challenges amid COVID-19. MVES care managers chose consumers who needed the help the most. Through this generous grant, 20 consumers and more than 30 pet companions were helped. “While our mission remains focused on the independence and dignity of older adults, oftentimes, their best friends may be their pets. For that reason, being able to provide food resources for both people and their pet pals can make a positive difference,” said MVES CEO Daniel O’Leary. Amid stay-at-home guidance and other health and safety measures in place to protect against COVID-19, millions of older adults are experiencing the impacts of loneliness and diminished social connection. While pet ownership is known to lower instances of illness and reported feelings of loneliness among older adults and is particularly crucial during this challenging time, many face difficulties with procuring groceries, like pet food and supplies, on their own. According to a Grace, whose mother Betty is a MVES consumer and a recipient of the grant, the gift of dog food for her pet has helped her family in several ways. “Because my mother is 97 years old, and I too am a senior, we will not have to go out now to get food for our dog. We have been trying to keep our public outings to a minimum during COVID,” explains Grace. “Because our dog is on a special diet, her pet food costs a little more. This grant helped save about $170 over the next three months. The savings will go toward pet insurance and our dog’s needs. There is even a little left over for a toy or two! So the savings are a great help.” “As so many older adults became homebound practically overnight in the face of the pandemic, they also became shut off from critical social connections,” said Meals on Wheels America President/ CEO Ellie Hollander. “Meals on Wheels programs have been working around the clock to serve an influx of seniors in need of support over the past year, which includes preserving the proven powerful relationships they have with their pets. This generous funding from PetSmart Charities makes that possible.” Grace and Betty’s dog is a four-year-old rescue dog that has been with them for about a year and half. She is part Chihuahua and part terrier. “When we were asked by the MVES care manager what kind of food our dog ate, I was surprised. She then explained the grant to me and how my mother could benefit from it. At first, I thought we would receive a bag of dog food. Never did I image we would receive two large boxes of food!” said Grace. “Yes, there are savings, but more than that, it is the thought of the organization to realize that pets are one of the nearest and dearest things to folks, especially during the Pandemic.” Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma J& • Reliable Mowing Service • Spring & Fall Cleanups • Mulch & Edging • Sod or Seed Lawns • Shrub Planting & Trimming • Water & Sewer Repairs Joe Pierotti, Jr. S LANDSCAPE & MASONRY CO.

After a three-year stint as a graduate assistant on the staffs of two big-time college football head coaches, the former record-setting Everett High quarterback is in the midst of a new adventure. DiBiaso was named as assistant coach for Vanderbilt University football in Nashville, Tenn., in February, where he is serving on the staff of first-year head coach Clark Lea, who was appointed in December. DiBiaso has spent the past three years working on the offensive side of the ball and handling some recruiting chores for the Boston College Eagles: two years under former BC head man Frank Spaziani and then retained this past season by first-year Eagle head coach Jeff Hafley. At Vanderbilt, DiBiaso is working as an offensive analyst under offensive coordinator David Raih, who came to Vandy after seven seasons in the pro ranks with the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals. DiBiaso is the son of legendary former Crimson Tide Head Coach John DiBiaso, who is regarded by more than a few high school football watchers as one of the best coaches in Massachusetts history, with over 300 victories and 10 MIAA Super Bowl Championships, nine of them at Everett High. At Everett, the younger DiBiaso smashed every single-season and career passing record in existence for the storied Crimson Tide program, leading Everett to a pair of Super Bowl wins in his junior and senior years in 2010 and 2011. DiBiaso, who threw a school and state record 103 TD passes in his career, helped lead the Crimson Tide to a 25-0 record and back-to-back Super Bowl titles in his junior and senior years. He was named the Gatorade Massachusetts Football Player following his senior year. He played a year of college football at Dartmouth College in the Ivy League and then two years at Tufts University in Medter taking the reins of the Lynn English boys’ basketball program, Head Coach Antonio Anderson announced Wednesday he is stepping down and moving on.

On Saturday, Boudreau puts away his sneakers and puts on football cleats as the two-year starting quarterback joins his teammates who have been practicing for the past week at Dello Russo Stadium.

Businesses would also face a new surcharge, in the form of an excise tax on employee wages, through December 2022 to help repay interest due in September on the federal loans. “With more people getting vaccinated by the day, and our economy re-opening, this bill will bring much needed relief to small businesses, keep our essential front line workers safe, and target tax relief to lift up low-income families who lost jobs during this pandemic,” said Senate Ways and Means chair Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport). “I’m proud to join my colleagues in supporting legislation that seeks to ease the economic burdens brought on by the pandemic,” said Rep. Bill Driscoll (D-Milton), House chair of the Committee on COVID-19 and Emergency Preparedness and Management. “The Legislature has a commitment to the commonwealth’s workers, and I am glad to see funds go to those who need it most during these challenging times.” "I am proud to vote for legislation that will support workers and advance an equitable recovery,” said Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton), Senate chair of the Committee on COVID-19 and Emergency Preparedness and Management. “In Western Massachusetts, main street businesses and nonprofits are the foundation of our economy and rightfully targeted for relief in this bill." “The House and Senate enacted legislation to make important updates to our state’s Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund, which has provided an economic lifeline for so many families in need,” said Rep. Josh Cutler (D-Duxbury), House chair of the Committee on Labor and Workforce Development. “Our actions today will prevent a sharp increase in rates on our businesses, help stabilize the fund over the longer term, provide tax relief to lower income jobseekers and ensure that needed jobless benefits continue to flow.” “Massachusetts employers faced a significant increase in their unemployment insurance costs, with employers’ experience rates scheduled to jump from $539 to $858 per worker this year,” said Republican House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “This legislation mitigates that increase by freezing the rate schedule. Restaurants and small businesses, already struggling financially during the COVID-19 pandemic, secured federal Paycheck Protection Program loans to keep their businesses afloat and save employees’ jobs during the pandemic faced a collective tax bill of $150 million. This legislation will make sure their forgiven loans will not be subject to state taxes.” “Hundreds of thousands of people received benefits last year without taxes being withheld,” said Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville), Senate chair of the Committee on Labor and Workforce Development. “They have no idea that they owe taxes on those payments and are going to be hit hard in April. The bill will give them more time to pay taxes owed, eliminate usual penalties, and most importantly create a tax exemption for our most vulnerable families.” “Over the past year, thousands of Massachusetts workers have lost pay, or even lost their jobs, BHRC| SEE PAGE 18 ׉ 7cassandra://FKLsjSlkVFyKVNNsjJCHNG7Iwr0oULL1PUTOFbmTFho"`̰`fl7<u׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 2, 2021 Page 17 TRASH | FROM PAGE 8 website or in person at the Treasurer's Office at City Hall.The cost of a Trash Tag will be $75 per year per cart and will be affixed to your black trash cart.

Looking to Save Dear Looking, One of the best, yet underutilized perks of growing older in the United States is the many discounts that are available to older adults. There are literally thousands of discounts on a wide variety of products and services including restaurants, grocery stores, travel and lodging, entertainment, retail and apparel, health and beauty, automotive services and much more. These discounts – typically ranging between 5 and 25 percent off – can add up to save you hundreds of dollars each year. So, if you don’t mind admitting your age, here are some tips and tools to help you fi nd the discounts you may be eligible for. Ask! The fi rst thing to know is that most businesses don’t advertise them, but many give senior discounts just for the asking, so don’t be shy. You also need to know that while some discounts are available as soon as you turn 50, most don’t kick in until you turn 55, 60, 62 or 65. Search Online Because senior discounts frequently change and can vary depending on where you live and the time of the year, the internet is the easiest way to locate them. A good place to start is at TheSeniorList.com (click on the “Senior Discounts” tab), which provides a large list of discounts in categories, i.e., restaurant dining, grocery stores, retail stores, prescription medications, travel discounts and more. You can also search for discounts by provider. Go to a search engine like Google and Yahoo and type in the business or organization you’re curious about, followed by “senior discount” or “senior discount tickets.” If you use a smartphone, there are also apps you can use like the “Senior Discounts & Coupons” app (available on the App Store and Google Play), which categorizes discounts by age and type. Join a Club Another good avenue to senior discounts is through membership organizations like AARP, which off ers its members age 50 and older a wide variety of discounts through affi liate businesses (see AARPdiscounts.com). If, however, you don’t like or agree with AARP, there are other organizations you can join that also provide discounts like the American Seniors Association (AmericanSeniors.org), the American Automobile Association (AAA.com), or for retired federal workers, the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE.org). Types of Discounts Here’s an abbreviated rundown of some of the diff erent types of discounts you can expect to fi nd. Restaurants: Senior discounts are common at restaurants and fast-food establishments – like Applebee’s, Arby’s, Burger King, Chili’s, Denny’s and IHOP – ranging from free/discounted drinks, to discounts off your total order. Retailers: Many thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army, and certain retailers like TJ Maxx, Banana Republic, Kohl’s, Michaels, Ross and Walgreens stores off er a break to seniors on certain days of the week. Grocery stores: Many locally owned grocery stores off er senior discount programs, as do some chains like BI-LO, Piggly-Wiggly, Fry’s Food Stores, New Seasons, Fred Meyer, and Hy-Vee, which off er discounts on certain days of the week, but they vary by location. Travel: American, United and Southwest Airlines provide limited senior fares in the U.S. to passengers 65 and older, while British Airlines off ers AARP members discounts of up to $200. Amtrak provides a 15 percent discount to travelers over 62. Most car rental companies give discounts to 50-plus customers or those who belong to organizations like AARP. Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Celebrity and Carnival cruise lines off er discount rates to cruisers 55 and over. And, most hotels off er senior discounts, usually ranging from 10 to 20 percent. Entertainment: Most movie theaters, museums, golf courses, ski slopes and other public entertainment venues provide reduced admission to seniors over 60 or 65. And the National Park Service off ers a lifetime senior pass for those 62 and older for $80 (see nps. gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm). Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book. ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS...RARE FIND!

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 2, 2021 BHRC | FROM PAGE 16 because they needed to stay home from work due to COVID symptoms, or to recover after receiving a vaccine,” said Steve Tolman, President of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. “Countless other workers have gone to work even when they might be sick because they can’t aff ord not to get paid. Workers need Emergency Paid Sick Time today, and we urge Gov. Baker to sign this critical legislation immediately.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul DonatoYes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason LewisYes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time SCHOOLS | FROM PAGE 1 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A well-attended and informative presentation was co-hosted by Malden Mayor and School Committee chairperson Gary Christenson and Superintendent of Schools John Oteri Tuesday night. The presentation, held virtually, was designed to provide parents, caregivers and students information needed to prepare them for the change. Superintendent Oteri told those in attendance the Malden school district was well-prepared to provide in-person learning according to estabthat 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 precedlished local, state and federal CDC guidelines. Supt. Oteri also reported there have been zero COVID-19 transmissions — none — reported in the Malden Public schools from January until now. Any positive tests have been traced to contacts outside the school system, he said. Students in those grades have been attending classes in hybrid fashion for the past two months. Students in grades 5 and 8 have also been in hybrid model (two days in-person, three days remote) for the past week. At the high school level, students in Grades 9 and 12 have ing the end of an annual session. During the week of March 2226, the House met for a total of eight hours and 54 minutes while the Senate met for a total of eight hours and 56 minutes. Mon.

All hybrid and in-person learning choices are made by the parents and caregivers, and all students may remain in remote learning if their parents/caregivers choose to do so. Supt. Oteri said about twothirds to 70 percent of the Malden students in Grades K-5 have opted to return to full in-person learning, while the percentage for in-person hybrid learning opted in at the high school level is about 5560 percent overall if the 1,800 MHS students. ׉ 7cassandra://vQb-oxW4L3cdYlgPCGy3ySnWqdZD6hCUyZrnHJ-Vw-E(`̰`fl7<w׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 2, 2021 Page 19 Kick The Bucket Commercial Cleaning * Featuring Electrostatic Disinfectant Spray Call for Free Estimate * Licensed & Insured Call or Text: 781-974-4817 Email: Kickthebucketservices@gmail.com ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 208 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA 02141 (617) 768-5800 Docket No. MI21P1519EA Estate of: Daniel Francis Moore Date of Death: 05/22/2020 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL ADJUDICATION To all interested persons: A petition for Formal Appointment of Personal Representative has been filed by Jean M.

CJU has also built partnerships with local food banks and advocacy organizations to help combat food insecurity. • Children in DCF care or other out-of-home situations: Working with partners in government and advocacy organizations, CJU works to promote the best interests of children who are involved with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) and/ or in caregiving situations outside of their home.

CJU will continue to pursue outreach and other work with state and federal partners to bolster trust and protections and undo harms against immigrant communities in Massachusetts. • Youth vaping: In partnership with the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division (CPD), CJU has helped to fi le litigation against e-cigarette companies, including JUUL Labs Inc., for creating a youth vaping epidemic by intentionally marketing and selling its e-cigarettes to young people. With CPD and Healey’s Policy & Government Division, CJU advocated for successful legislation banning fl avored e-cigarettes and other tobacco products. The Children’s Justice Unit leverages its expertise by working closely with other divisions and bureaus in the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Offi ce on child-related work and also advises child-serving state agencies.
