"This bill will make the Commonwealth a national and even global leader in reducing carbon emissions; accelerating our transition to clean energy, including solar and offshore wind; improving public health; creating tens of thousands of new well-paid green jobs; and advancing environmental justice for the most signifi cantly impacted communities.” “I’m proud to stand with my Right by you.

Quick takes included the affi rmation that, like many governmental operations, the Malden Treasurer’s Office had to adapt and adjust to ever-changing conditions imposed on it by the COVID-19 pandemic this past year. In addition, in the city of Malden, cash can still be king if you wish to use paper greenbacks to pay your municipal bills or parking fi nes. Malden City Treasurer Dan A Daniel Grover City Treasurer Grover was thrust into a new world order created by the COVID-19 pandemic literally just over one week after being appointed to the post, in March 2020. Grover was appointed to one of the most integral jobs in city government after the unexpected February 2020 passing of his predecessor, Jonathan Davis. Ten days after the Malden City Council unanimously voted to appoint Grover, a worldwide pandemic was declared. Ten days after that, the city and state were placed in lockdown – no entry to public buildings, no personal contact. What a way to start a new job! On Tuesday he told the members of the Malden City Council’s Finance Committee that being forced to reconfi gure and reassess operational strategy due to the pandemic was both challenging and satisfying as new ways to service Malden residents came into place. Grover, a lifelong Malden resident, credited the hard work and dedication of his Treasurer’s staff , including Assistant Treasurer Jackie Jones, for the offi ce’s success in adapting to the challenges imposed by the pandemic. With City Hall and all its services relegated to an online presence with the shutdown of city offi ces and a shift to a remote service model, changes were made to the manner in which residents could pay bills, as one popular way, in-person payments, was eliminated for over a year now, due to COVID-19 protocols. The Treasurer’s Department prepares and generates all real estate, excise tax and water-sewer bills as well as late notices for parking tickets. This department also collects all money mailed or wired to the City of Malden by federal or state government agencies, various fees paid by individuals and corporations and permits and fi nes. Residents may pay real estate, excise tax, personal property tax and water-sewer bills online. With City Hall closed to personal visitation, a secure drop box was installed in front of the 215 Pleasant St. building for use by residents. This has basically replaced the previous in-person method.

Kevin is a longtime Malden resident. Kevin’s not shy and has been known to express his opinion from time to time. Again, if you do not believe me...just ask him. With such an important decision to be made, he asked himself “What would Eddie do?” Eddie being his big brother who passed away in 2014. Kevin has opted out! Turns out Eddie would say, “Are you crazy, Kevin!?” People stop me on the street constantly, look me straight in the eye and ask “When the heck are you going to give Kevin Larson 20 questions for your column?!” I knew Kevin was popular. I knew he wrote very interesting “Letters to the Editor.” And I knew he was besties with Governor Charlie Baker. But little did I know of this groundswell of popularity throughout Malden.

I’ve known him since he was a shorty down Devir Park with his tiny little skates and oversized hockey equipment racing up and down the frozen big-league infi eld waiting his turn to play with the big boys.

He knows Jimmy Stewart lives on Roxbury Drive next door to Lucille Ball and Gary Morton, so Kevin thinks to himself why not knock on Jimmy’s door and introduce himself. Longtime Maldonians will recognize that as pure Malden chutzpah! Think Jeff Hurley. Kevin knocks, Jimmy answers. “My name is Kevin Larson and I live in Malden, Ma” was Kevin’s opening line. Jimmy chuckled, according to Kevin, and was “very polite.” To Kevin’s surprise he is asked inside the Stewart home. Kevin requests a picture. Jimmy says he has to put his sweater on first. Sweater falling nicely, he stands by the piano and Kevin snaps away. Kevin’s not through just yet. Before he leaves, he asks Jimmy if he could do an imitation of him. Jimmy laughs and says, “Please, that would be nice.” So, Kevin channels his inner Jimmy Stewart from the classic “It’s A Wonderful Life” – “Mary, Mary!” Jimmy signed an autograph for Kevin to Kev’s dad, Jack. True stories mind you, I can vouch for that. When you are Kevin Larson chatting up Jimmy Stewart, entering his home and taking one of the last pictures ever known to be taken of Smith, that isn’t quite good enough. How about breakfast with Katharine Hepburn? It’s the summer of ’81. Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn are fi lming “On Golden Pond.” The fi lming takes place close to the Larsons’ summer home on Squam Lake in Holderness, N.H. Kev’s dad spots Hepburn getting out of a vehicle and nonchalantly asks if she’d like to join the Larsons at the breakfast table. It’s about 7 in the morning and Jack says, “Miss Hepburn, would you like a cup of coff ee?” She turns to him, looked him in the eyes and replied, “Is it perked coffee?” To which Jack replied, “Absolutely it’s perked.” She enters their humble cottage on Squam Lake and enjoys a homemade breakfast, Malden-style. Believe it or not Fonda arrived and was outside waiting to pick Hepburn up. Kevin asks Fonda for his autograph, and Henry’s exact quote was “Son, if I sign that autograph this movie will MALDEN: TODAY| SEE PAGE 22 Call ׉ 7cassandra://8vYC8LmzPXUj0GkIYNVjtpkzr45BRJnVgyLbRD4KjyE+a`̰`]2~>׉EtTHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 26, 2021 Page 5 Lifelong Malden resident celebrates a century L ifelong Malden resident Gertrude “Gert” Murray celebrated 100 years on Sunday, March 21.

Perhaps she is most famous for being Malden Hospital’s longest working employee, having spent more than 50 years on the job.

The Superintendent noted the welcome news around increased vaccinations and lower COVID-19 positivity rates. But he also cautioned local families regarding the continued presence of the novel coronavirus and the steps necessary to help ensure the health and safety of the community and those in the school district. “Over the past couple months, we have been pleased to see all the good news coming our way regarding vaccinations and lower COVID-19 positivity rates in our community and across the nation,” Supt. Oteri stated in his letter to Malden families. “However, the fact remains that the pandemic is still very much with us. We must continue to take the steps necessary to protect one another and prevent the spread of this terrible virus.” Supt. Oteri reminded Malden families that their child must stay at home and not come to school for hybrid or any other phase of in-person learning if he or she is COVID-19 symptomatic or is awaiting test results for COVID-19. “If your child or a household is symptomatic and awaiting COVID-19 test results, they should not come to school for in-person learning,” Supt. Oteri said in his letter. “In fact, we believe that some of the cases we have had recently were due to individuals coming to school while awaiting test results, and then later testing positive.” The Superintendent urged parents/caregivers to contact the principal of the school or the school nurse where their student attends if they needed further explanation of school policy as it comes to students awaiting test results.

Now is the time to be proactive in how we approach our climate crisis and to protect our environment for future generations. I want to thank my legislative partner, House Speaker Mariano for his collaboration, Senator Barrett and Representatives Golden and Roy for their steadfast support, and the residents of Massachusetts for their unwavering support in advancing this legislation.” “I am proud the House and the Senate have not backed down from our ambitious goals and unwavering commitment to make Massachusetts a leader in climate protection and clean energy,” said Speaker of the House Ronald Mariano. “There is no doubt this legislation will set Massachusetts on the right path and benefi t generations to come. I thank Chairman Roy and Leader Golden for their work over the course of two sessions and Senate President Spilka for her collaboration in getting this bill once again back to the Governor’s desk.” “The Roadmap sets us on a strong course to net zero by 2050 and signifi cantly advances off shore wind, truly representing the best ideas from both chambers. Hats off to the House and the Senate for holding firm on ambitious emissions targets. A special thank you to Speaker Mariano for his tireless perseverance and vision in seeing this day become a reality. This bill off ers us a comprehensive roadmap to move us away from fossil fuels and towards ensuring environmental justice,” said Senate Majority Leader Cindy Creem. “The provisions of this bill represent a great step forward in our eff orts to reduce harmful carbon emissions and it needs to become law now.” The passage of the climate bill comes after a joint commitment from Spilka and Mariano to quickly refi le the legislation following a gubernatorial veto last session.

As a lifelong resident of (Maplewood) Ward 6, I am running because I believe the Ward and City is at a critical juncture in its history which will determine its future direction and well-being. I believe the Ward deserves a Councillor, who will make his work on the City Council a top priority – and that work is to reflect the priorities of the residents – first and foremost! As I watch, listen and learn, I hear that these particular issues are of greatest concern to you: Fighting against burdensome and inappropriate overdevelopment which will further overcrowd our city, over-tax our citizens and over-populate our already overcrowded schools. Until such a time where Malden can receive its fair share of state aid for education, over-populated classrooms have become a norm – much to the detriment of individual student achievement. Everyone knows that smaller classroom sizes provide children the individual attention they need to thrive and excel academically. As a former School Committee member who worked to improve our schools, I bring this critical experience to the table. Malden’s infrastructure has been deteriorating. Our roads and intersections desperately need municipal attention. My goal would be to create an infrastructure plan to improve our roads, sidewalks and intersections based on the actual needs of our city. I believe we should Our small businesses are hurting. I am committed to helping each small business in Malden thrive. Small businesses provide 3 out of 4 new jobs. I am committed to working to improve Maplewood Square to make it more business friendly in terms of parking and improving traffic throughout. I will push for the City to work to purchase or lease additional space for parking. I propose that the City purJerry Leone refocus the effort of designating a repaving program to address our neighborhood streets rather than wasting tax dollars on feel good projects and trendy proposals (to the tune of $2.4 Million!) Our streets and sidewalks are still in appalling condition. Funds must be appropriately and responsibly applied to our city’s greatest and most desperate needs. Our police need our support. Crime is a serious concern among Malden residents. The basic need of any citizenry is to live one’s life safely and peacefully. There have been increasing efforts to defund police departments. I believe that this would be another trendy and dare I say; disastrous policy-direction for our wonderful city and our people. We must maintain our respectful and responsible Public Safety presence throughout the city; I will stand with our dedicated police force and vote against any talk of defunding Public Safety. As a graduate of the Police Academy at Lackland Airforce Base in 2003, while I was in the Air Force, I am committed to this most critical issue. I support any plan that would maintain or improve our current services to residents while enhancing efficiency. This is why I plan to support the flat fee of $75 per barrel. I will oppose all efforts to raise that fee, such as my opponent is trying to do as he has proposed the fee be increased to $125. The typical Malden resident has a budget to live on – the local government must also live within its means! As a lifetime resident of Malden I have seen our fee structure and tax base increase exponentially. As your next Ward Councillor I promise to fight against tax and fee increases. Malden must and will be affordable for years to come. chase, through the Community Preservation Funds any large parcels of property that can be set aside in Maplewood Highlands rather than be developed. Over three and half million of CPA funds have been collected from the taxpayers since the voters passed it in 2015 and Maplewood has not gotten its fair share. It is time that priority be put on open space acquisition throughout the city as many supported this measure for that reason. I pledge to continue the work started by Councillor Camel at Trafton Park making sure the adjacent neighbors’ priorities and right to quiet enjoyment of the property is maintained. Another topic that is of great concern to the residents of Ward 6 is the issue of a fire station either in the ward or somewhere on the east side, this would not happen overnight but a discussion on this topic needs to happen. For many years – whether I was serving on the school committee and regularly speaking to residents in the ward or in discussions both times as a candidate for councilor – I have always been a vocal proponent for this, unlike my opponent who has served on the city council now for 4 years (2 out of the 4 served as Safety Chair!) has never brought this up until now! I have also been very outspoken on the issue of real grass vs. artificial turf, advocating that we should use real grass, while my opponent thinks the opposite. I had the privilege and honor of serving this community as a former member of the school committee (2014-2018) serving on the budget, policy and public safety sub committees and have a record of getting the job done. I ask that you please consider me for your Ward 6 City Councillor. I guarantee that if elected I will work for you and your priorities, not those of special interest groups and developers. Very Truly Yours, Jerry Leone ׉ 7cassandra://QAcYMs38jIOh7IVcZR9rfOOVMefCWSmzy5IEilx_JxM,0`̰`]2~>׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 26, 2021 Page 9 COMPLAINTS | FROM PAGE 1 Last week, Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley’s complaint made with the Attorney General regarding an email transmission originating with Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora was discussed. Last week’s discussion of the matter involving Councillor Spadafora, which was confi rmed as a transgression by Malden City Solicitor Kathryn Fallon, was lengthy and detailed with copies and discussions of at least two emails sent by Councillor Spadafora to other Councillors. The content of the emails regarded a matter involving a joint meetcomplainant, Councillor O’Malley, who would be able to then accept or reject them and/or further address or pursue additional remediation steps regarding the complaint with the AG’s Offi ce. Councillor O’Malley spoke briefly several times during the discussion last week, which was before a full City Council meeting, reiterating previous remarks that he would continue to address and report any incidences where he believes rules and regulations within the City Council or any other part of municipal government are not being followed. He said he had a duty to safeguard the peated his advice from the previous week’s meeting that moving forward, all email communication between Councillors be directed through him and Clerk of Committees Lisa Cagno to both assure transparency and appropriate manner of communication. All Councillors agreed. Attorney Fallon was not present at Tuesday’s meeting. Ward 3 Councillor Amanda Linehan, who has worked for many years as Communications Director for the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), suggested the City of Malden pursue a plan to off er formal training in Open Meeting Law and other state regulatory practices for all new elected city officials and/or board of commission appointees, so as to avoid further issues with violations and other matters. Councillors O’Malley and Spadafora immediately endorsed an initiative of this sort, and other councillors quickly followed suit, and Clerk Lucey agreed to look into it for further possible action.

Closing Costs Two Open Meeting Law violations complaints in two weeks, by one Malden City Councillor against another Councillor, were discussed in two weeks in two separate meetings. ing of the City Council’s Ordinance and Finance Committees and the Malden Planning Board. Attorney Fallon confirmed Councillor O’Malley’s complaint claiming Councillor Spadafora’s email constituted a “deliberation” since the number of Councillors receiving it numbered enough for a quorum, which means it could be construed as an improper assembly outside of the legal parameters of a municipal body. Councillor Spadafora: Action was unintentional Councillor Spadafora, at last week’s meeting, read a lengthy personal statement, asserting the violation was unintentional and issuing a public apology for the transgression. City Council President Neal Anderson said he agrees that the violation appeared unintentional, and Attorney Fallon added that regardless of the intent, the violation was formally registered with the Attorney General’s Offi ce and had to be addressed. The formal discussion of the violation was the fi rst step, and City Council President Anderson said that all the members of the City Council would be participating in an in-person training session on the parameters of the Open Meeting Law conducted through the AG’s Offi ce in the near future. Attorney Fallon said these steps for remediation would be formally documented and delineated to the integrity and transparency of city government. Second Open Meeting Law complaint In the second Open Meeting Law violation complaint, which Councillor DeMaria fi led in February regarding an email to Councillor Sica’s email to other Councillors regarding a license application by a potential car dealership, the discussion was much briefer on Tuesday night. There was a brief exchange at last week’s City Council meeting, during the personal privilege segment, almost entirely from Councillor Sica directed toward Councillor DeMaria, after Councillor DeMaria announced the news of her complaint being fi led. At Tuesday’s discussion during the License Committee meeting chaired by Councillor Condon, again, there was a mention by City Council President Anderson on upcoming training. Councillor DeMaria did not speak on the matter Tuesday night, and Councillor Sica confi rmed the violation through use of the email she sent to other Councillors. Councillor Sica said it was an unintentional violation and publicly apologized for the transgression when she spoke at Tuesday’s meeting.

Oteri’s letter to the Malden Public Schools community on return to full in-person learning Dear Malden School Community, Earlier this month, the Massachusetts Board of Elementary & Secondary Education and the Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE) announced a requirement that all K-5 students must return to full-time in-person learning by April 5. On Monday, March 15, the Malden School Committee voted unanimously to direct the Malden Public Schools to seek a waiver to delay the return of K-5 students for full in-person instruction. This waiver has been denied by DESE officials in a letter sent to the district today. The positive experience MPS has had in providing hybrid instruction to PK-4 students over the past several weeks was a factor in DESE’s decision. Our principals, educators, and staff have done an incredible job preparing our buildings for in-person learning. We remain extremely grateful for their efforts. As a result of the state’s decision, MPS will begin in-person instruction, five days per week, for grades K-5 on Monday, April 5. Additionally, students in grades 6-8 will begin in-person learning five days per week on Wednesday, April 28. To learn more, I invite you to attend our virtual town hall forum on Tuesday, March 30, at 6:00 p.m. During the forum, we will explain the impact of the waiver denial and provide additional information related to the return of students to our buildings.

For now, we continue to work to reconfigure classrooms to meet the latest guidance from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and World Health Organization, which calls for maintaining at least 3 feet of distancing between students in schools. Pool testing is also underway in our schools. This process involves combining test samples from several people and conducting a single laboratory test on the combined pool of samples to detect the virus that causes COVID-19. Pooling is a good way to determine if there is significant spread among our school community while using fewer testing resources. Finally, we are working with the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents to advocate for prioritized vaccinations for all our educators and staff. We are pleased to share that increasing numbers of our staff already have received their first dose. Giving all staff the opportunity to get vaccinated is a key component to our efforts to reopen our schools safely. As we have said many times before, we truly appreciate your flexibility and patience as we have managed the effects of the pandemic. If you have any questions about next steps, please contact your child’s school principal.

DESE Office of Public School Monitoring to conduct required triennial review at Northeast Metro Tech W AKEFIELD – Superintendent David DiBarri reported that during the week of April 12 the Office of Public School Monitoring (PSM) of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) will conduct a Tiered Focused Monitoring Review of Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational High School. PSM visits each district and charter school every three years to monitor compliance with federal and state special education and civil rights regulations. Areas of review related to special education include student assessments, determination of eligibility, the Individualized Education Program (IEP) Team process and IEP development and implementation. Areas of review related to civil rights include bullying, student discipline, physical restraint and equal access to school programs for all students. In addition to the onsite visit, parent outreach is an important part of the review process. The PSM review chairperson will send all parents of students with disabilities an online survey that focuses on key areas of their child’s special education program. Survey results will contribute to the development of a report. During the onsite review, PSM will interview the chairperson(s) of the district's Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC). Other onsite activities may include interviews of district staff and administrators, reviews of student records, and onsite observations. Parents and other individuals may call PSM Chairperson Moses Nduati at 781-338-3707 to request a telephone interview. If an individual requires an accommodation, such as translation, to participate in an interview, the Department will make the necessary arrangements. Within approximately 60 business days after the onsite visit, the review chairperson will provide Northeast Metro Tech with a report with information about areas in which the school meets or exceeds regulatory requirements and areas in which it requires assistance to correct or improve practices. ׉ 7cassandra://DT6H7-uosTQIsf5skS7ntg8bpWnnTRqfY--5au25zqo*(`̰`]2~>׉ETTHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 26, 2021 Page 11 ~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ Ward 4 Councillor is Present – And Unaccountable Dear Editor, During my eight years as a City Councillor for Ward 4, I can’t recall a time when a fellow councilor voted “present”. It’s a cop out rarely used in local politics, as politicians usually correctly identify that their constituents won’t look kindly on their elected representative hiding behind a ‘present’ vote. A present vote is essentially ‘taking a pass’ on the vote. Yet in the last 5 weeks, my ward councilor Ryan O’Malley has done just that four times. Is it any wonder politicians at times get labeled as not trustworthy? City Councilors are elected to represent the citizens of Malden. That means taking a position on issues. Sometimes those issues are easy, great photo ops, with everyone happy. Sometimes not. As a ward four resident, I expect my ward councilor to actually vote on important issues. Yet on four occasions, O’Malley has refused to go on record and do the job he was elected to do. Voters should demand to know why O’Malley: Voted ‘present’ after an hour long debate on a critical licensing matter. Despite the fact that the license applicant was at the meeting to answer questions, and despite the fact that the issue had been discussed thoroughly the prior week in committee, O’Malley choose to leave voters guessing what his opinion was on the issue. Proposed a 66% increase in fees charged to residents for trash disposal, and then voted ‘present’ after his proposal was rejected by all of his colleagues. REVIEW | FROM PAGE 8 view team examines. The survey focuses on key areas of their child’s ELE program. Survey results will contribute to the monitoring report. Parents and other individuals may call OLA Review Chairperson Sibel Hughes at 781338-3569 to request a telephone interview. If an individual requires an accommodation, Refused to return to work at City Hall despite the fact that many of his fellow ward four residents have no choice but to work on site every day, and despite the fact that hundreds of City workers are working every day. O’Malley then voted ‘present’ when his colleagues all voted in favor of following the recommendation of the Council President on the issue. Voting present can only mean one of a few things. Either O’Malley is showing up at meetings unprepared to discuss and vote on items docketed well in advance, or O’Malley is, in an election year, avoiding going on the record on items that have any element of controversy. Either one is unacceptable to me as a ward four voter. Malden residents have heard the word ‘transparency’ from O’Malley more times than one can count. Yet basic transparency starts with voting on matters you are elected to vote on so residents know where you stand. Otherwise, voters are left to speculate, leading to concerns about back room deals and bad motives. The residents of ward four deserve to know where their ward councilor stands, especially with important votes coming up on additional development in the downtown. Anything less is simply unfair to those living in the ward without representation. Signed, Jeffrey Donahue Ward 4 resident and former city councillor such as translation, to participate in an interview, DESE will make the necessary arrangements. Within approximately 60 business days of the onsite visit, the review chairperson will provide Northeast Metro Tech with a report with information about areas in which the district meets or exceeds regulatory requirements and areas in which it requires assistance to correct or improve practices. Malden girls’ basketball team tops Somerville, 43-35, for first GBL win Cherilus (15 pts.) and Curran (12 pts.) lead balanced attack By Steve Freker T he steady improvement each game was evident as Malden got closer and closer to the “W.” In a 43-35 win over visiting Somerville last Friday night, Lady Tornadoes Head Coach Scott Marino’s Tornado finally cashed in and reaped the benefits. Led by a balanced scoring attack, topped by sophomore forward Nevaeh Cherilus’s season-high 15 points, Malden claimed its first win of the season and first in the Greater Boston League to go to 1-2 on the year. Cherilus was joined on the scoresheet by teammates Yasmine Alayan (9 points) and Lisette Curran (12 points) for the balanced offense. Cherilus has been a key performer on offense since the season started, but just could not seem to get shots to drop in previous games, not breaking double digits yet this season. But that changed Friday. Cherilus stayed aggressive with drives to the basket and offensive rebounds which led to some uncontested layups and some baskets after contact. “Some of her [Cherilus’s] shots started to drop and it was great to see,” Coach Marino said. “She’s been working hard and just hasn’t been able to contribute like she wanted to do in the scorebook.” Malden also ramped up the defense and got some good capitalizing baskets off turnovers by Somerville, igniting a big, 10-2 run in the third quarter which broke a tie and put Malden ahead for good. **** Malden topped Lynn Classical for a second straight win on Tuesday night (2-2) and was scheduled to play on the road at Revere High tonight. Malden High School sophomore Nevaeh Cherilus led Malden with 15 points in a 43-35 victory over Somerville at Malden’s Finn Gym.

Junior Ryan Dalencour had just the right answer. With the clock ticked down to just 8 seconds, Dalencour lined up a “three” from the left corner and drilled it – nothing but net – to give Malden a twopoint lead and the eventual 5048 win. Dalencour’s heroics gave head coach Don Nally’s Golden Tornados their first win of the season after starting the season with three consecutive stumbles. “It was great to see the shot go down. We have such a young team, and when they get to see firsthand that if you play right to the end, you still have a chance to win, it’s a big plus,” Coach Nally said. Dalencour scored 11 points for Malden. Sophomore Justin Bell led all scorers with 14 points for the Tornados. Senior captain Ali Alayan scored 12 points for Malden. Sophomore Jonald Joseph had 5 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocked shots for the Tornados. Carbone topped the gym with 15 points for Revere. Urdanets added 7 points, Clauto scored 8 points and senior co-captain Dillan Day added 9 points.

CLIMATE CHANGE (S 9) House 145-14, Senate 391, approved and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker a lengthy climate change bill. A key section makes the state’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal net zero by 2050. The House and Senate both voted to adopt many of the amendments that Gov. Baker proposed to the original measure approved by the Legislature in February. Other provisions in the measure codify environmental justice provisions into Massachusetts law by defining environmental justice populations and providing new tools and protections for affected neighborhoods; provide $12 million in annual funding for the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center to create a pathway to the clean energy industry for environmental justice populations and minority-owned and women-owned businesses; require an additional 2,400 megawatts of offshore wind and increase the state’s total authorization to 5,600 megawatts; set appliance energy efficiency standards for a variety of common appliances including plumbing, faucets, computers and commercial appliances and set benchmarks for the adoption of clean energy technologies including electric vehicles, charging stations, solar technology, energy storage and heat pumps. “History has been made today with the passage of the Next-Generation Roadmap bill,” said Rep. Tom Golden (D-Lowell). “The roadmap sets us on a strong course to net zero by 2050 and significantly advances offshore wind, truly representing the best ideas from both chambers. Hats off to the House and the Senate for holding firm on ambitious emissions targets.” “Massachusetts leads the nation in reducing carbon emissions, of which there are some measures that I have supported,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman who was the only senator who voted against the measure. “However, this legislation, often described as ‘far reaching’ by the media and economic experts, will ensure the costs of building homes and commercial economic development dramatically increase, making us the most expensive state in the nation to live and do business. In this time of economic recovery from COVID-19, this is not only inad~ Legal Notice ~ Malden Housing Authority Request for Quotes MHA #010821 The Malden Housing Authority (MHA) is seeking quotes to move tenant furniture from point A to point B, and the occasional office furniture move.

The MHA is an Equal Employment Opportunity and a Drug Free Workplace March 26, 2021 visable, it is detrimental to the long-term interests of keeping Massachusetts affordable and prosperous.” “Today, the Legislature will take an important step toward a cleaner, healthier future by putting the climate bill back on the governor's desk,” said Ben Hellerstein, State Director for Environment Massachusetts. “I applaud House and Senate leaders for preserving the key elements of last session’s bill, including energy efficiency standards for appliances, expanded offshore wind procurements, and a requirement for at least 40 percent of Massachusetts’ electricity to come from renewable sources by 2030. If Gov. Baker vetoes the bill, I hope legislators move quickly to override the veto and turn this bill into a law.” A new study by the Beacon Hill Institute says that legislation calling for a net-zero emissions policy by 2050 is flawed and unrealistic. “In this study, we conclude that this legislation is misconceived,” said co-author David Tuerck, president of the institute. “The ‘absolute zero’ approach embodied in the legislation would be economically ruinous. It would increase costs to the average Massachusetts household to unacceptable levels. If the commonwealth sought to reduce emissions by 100 percent, the price of a gallon of gasoline would have to rise above $14.10.” “The Next-Generation Climate Roadmap Act reflects the concerns of people of every age, from every part of the state,” tweeted Sen. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington). “There is little doubt the legislation that passed today, if it becomes law, will cost taxpayers and businesses greatly in the future,” said Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance Executive Director Paul Craney. “The only questions that remain are just how much it will cost them and how ordinary, working-class families will be able to pay for it moving forward. Today’s legislation puts ideology ahead of common sense. It asks nearly every resident to make economic sacrifices in order to achieve unrealistic and ideologically driven climate goals.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul DonatoYes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason LewisYes HELP BUSINESSES AND WORKERS (S 35) Senate 40-0, approved a bill that excludes Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans from being taxed by the state in 2020; excludes $10,200 of unemployment compensation received by an individual with a household income of less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level from gross income for tax purposes; and makes employees eligible for up to five days of paid leave, at their regular rate of pay, capped at $850 per week. Other provisions waive penalties on unemployment insurance taxes; freeze unemployment insurance rates paid by employers; create a mechanism ensuring all employees will be able to access 40 hours of paid sick time for any COVID-related issues, including testing positive, needing to quarantine or caring for a loved one; and extend the state’s tax filing deadline from April 15, 2021 to May 17, The day after this vote, the Department of Revenue (DOR), citing powers it says it can use when the U.S. president declares a disaster, unilaterally moved the Massachusetts tax filing deadline to conform with the postponed federal deadline of May 17. DOR said Massachusetts individual personal income tax returns and payments for the 2020 tax year that would have been due April 15 are now due May 17 under this automatic extension. 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.

Jason Lewis (D-Winchester). “As we slowly emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, I am proud of the collective action taken by the Senate and House to pass this comprehensive bill that strikes a balance to help businesses, workers, and jumpstart an equitable recovery for our commonwealth,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “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.” The House has approved a different version of the measure and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes TAKE-OUT AND DELIVERY OF ALCOHOL BEVERAGES (S 35) Senate 9-30, rejected an amendment that would extend the life of a current law that allows restaurants during the pandemic state of emergency to sell sealed containers of mixed drinks, beer and wine with takeout and delivery orders. Under the current law, restaurants would be able to continue doing this only until the governor lifts the ban. The amendment would extend the law for another two years after the governor lifts the ban. “A year into the state of emergency we are seeing glimmers of hope for economic recovery,” said Sen. Diana DiZoglio (D-Methuen), the amendment’s sponsor. “But businesses, particularly in the food and beverage sector and other segments of the hospitality industry, are still in survival mode. If we have any intention of helping them actually recover, we will continue to need programs like beverages to-go that provide our restaurants with much needed revenue streams now and in the future.” Amendment opponents said they support the alcohol takeout and delivery options for restaurants but noted that the emergency ban is still in eff ect and will likely be in eff ect for a long time. They argued there is no pressing need to extend the take-out and delivery options and noted the extension can be revisited sometime in the future. (A “Yes” vote is for extending the take-out and delivery of alcoholic beverages for two years following the end of the emergency. A “No” vote is against extending it). Sen. Jason Lewis No PERMANENT CAP ON DELIVERY CHARGES (S 35) Senate 8-31, rejected an amendment that would permanently cap delivery fees by third parties like Grubhub, DoorDash and Uber Eats at 15 percent of the order price. The amendment would replace the current law which lifts the cap on the day the governor lifts the pandemic emergency. “We fi nally addressed the issue of capping third-party delivery fees to prevent price-gouging and pandemic-related windfalls in January of this year, ten OBITUARIES Michael McGrath Of Malden, passed away on March 17, 2021, after a short battle with cancer.

Her love of life, OBITUARIES| SEE PAGE 16 months into the state of emergency as our restaurant industry was hanging on for dear life,” said sponsor Sen. DiZoglio. “We know that even when the state of emergency comes to an end and businesses are allowed to fully reopen that recovering from the losses incurred during this strange chapter of our history will take a very long time. We need to make permanent the cap on the amount that third-party delivery services are able to charge local restaurants at 15 percent of the purchase price of the online order. The need to regulate these fees will persist as delivery services continue to play an ever-increasing role in our lives post-pandemic. If we agree these delivery services should not be able to price gouge during the pandemic, we should agree they should not be able to price gouge once the state of emergency is lifted.” “I have been a strong supporter of measures to support the restaurant industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, including capping delivery fees charged to restaurants and allowing limited cocktails to go,” said Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “These measures are currently in place and will remain in place throughout the duration of the governor’s declaration of a public health emergency … I did not believe the underlying bill—focused on time-sensitive tax relief to businesses and individuals—was the appropriate legislation to consider these important issues, and I look forward to considering them as separate legislation after the public hearing process.” (A “Yes” vote is for making the cap permanent. A “No” vote is against making it permanent.) Sen. Jason Lewis No $5 MILLION FOR BUSINESS RELIEF FUND (S 35) Senate 8-31, rejected an amendment that would create and fund a $5 million Business Relief Fund to provide grants to struggling businesses aff ected by COVID-19 that thus far have not qualifi ed for grants because of a lack of operational and income history. The amendment requires that businesses must have been open at least 90 days before the pandemic state of emergency was declared and on the day it was declared. Amendment supporters explained that businesses that were not in business in 2019 don’t have income tax returns and other documentation from 2019 to compare to 2020 and show how their business has been adversely aff ected. “When people dedicate their lives and their savings to starting their own businesses, to contributing to the economy and to the strength of the workforce by hiring and training employees, only to be told that they havBHRC | SEE PAGE 19 ׉ 7cassandra://kY_CgzGDGg11tmONe_9NlJxFY0yACYEqUMUqBrCCb_8&s`̰`]2~>`]2~> PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://vEzHt459yxewBCcmfETfLBccKsEOrtfY1mc7jEjB9Io B`)׉ 7cassandra://7u-f9YH5MYMNSo2cYPuO-QivEdM7nCubz_zMlMZkGDY͂`J׉ 7cassandra://zXL5N6fJI6hFi7bE9JEZndITpzwMQ95JyjTz8vsRfbE!`̰׉ 7cassandra://ipjbpTN1Z_nuvm1eIL40W_0oLkECTkdxz7PB9v2tlV4$9L͠`]2~>!ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://xWUi4_7S3O-c-GLQ9yuzpXV4Uj-jyiiV-fQbJOCkB0U۪`)׉ 7cassandra://NY02zV0VGdFNHp-a8LUQ_G54L5i0N66PmGzSXxxg-JUt `J׉ 7cassandra://lhhHRU5EUU8Ea1KNEXDLLTaA8PBOV9DWL5ZyhyjuZa4">`̰׉ 7cassandra://jMI3gOUHkdfDNq_EvZLcu5YI6sYsw4xa_JI3FeY6oNs$(p͠`]2~>"נ`]2~>.T9ׁH!mailto:maldencpc@cityofmalden.orgׁ ׁ Јנ`]2~>-.9ׁH?https://cityofmalden.zoom.us/j/98732434313?pwd=WUQwaHZ1dEZ3T2x4ׁ ׁ Јנ`]2~>,~+9ׁHmailto:mluise@cityofmalden.orgׁ ׁ Ј׉E%'Page 16 OBITUARIES | FROM PAGE 15 smile, laughter and sense of humor were infectious and abundant.

Councillors Steve Winslow (at Large) and Barbara Murphy (Ward 5) agreed with the sentiment, with Councillor Murphy mentioning the same issue at some parks in the city and Winslow confi rming a problem of dog owners leaving the droppings on the bike path. The matter was referred to further discussion in committee sessions by Councillors. avy Sniioorior avvy Sneniioor by Jim Miller Keeping Your Balancei Y Bl as You Age Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about balance exercises? I’ve fallen a few times over the past year and have read that balance exercises can help me regain my steadiness, but I’m not exactly sure what to do. Unsteady at 70 Dear Unsteady, Most people don’t think much about practicing their balance, but they need to. As we age, our balance declines if it isn’t practiced, which can lead to falls that often result in a broken bone. Every year more than one in four people age 65 and older fall, and the risk increases with age. Here’s what you should know about balance problems, along with some diff erent exercises that can help you improve it. Aging Aff ects Balance Balance is something most people take for granted until it’s challenged by a medical condition, medication or advanced age, which dulls our balance senses and causes most seniors to gradually become less stable on their feet over time. Poor balance can also lead to a vicious cycle of inactivity. You feel a little unsteady, so you curtail certain activities. If you’re inactive, you’re not challenging your balance systems or using your muscles. As a result, both balance and strength suff er. Simple acts like strolling through a grocery store or getting up from a chair become trickier. That shakes your confi dence, so you become even less active. Balance Exercises If you have a balance problem that is not tied to illness, medication or some other specifi c cause, simple exercises can help preserve and improve your balance. Here are four exercises you can do that will help: • One-legged stands: Stand on one foot for 30 seconds, or longer, then switch to the other foot. In the beginning, you might want to have a wall or chair to hold on to. Or, for an extra challenge try closing your eyes, or standing on a throw pillow or Bosu ball (an infl ated rubber disc on a stable platform). • Heel-to-toe walking: Take 20 steps while looking straight ahead. Think of a sobriety test. • Standing up: Without using your hands, get up from a straightbacked chair and sit back down 10 to 20 times. This improves balance and leg strength. • Tai chi: Research has shown that the Asian practice of tai chi – which uses a combination of slow, graceful movements, meditation and deep breathing – can help reduce the risk of falls. For more information on diff erent balance exercises you can do at home, there are a variety of balance and strength exercises and beginner Tai Chi DVDs you can purchase at Amazon.com or through Amazon Prime video. There are also senior fitness programs, like SilverSneakers (silversneakers.com) and Silver&Fit (silverandfi t.com), that off er online classes that can guide you through a series of exercises you can do at home during the pandemic. See a Doctor I do, however, want to emphasize that if you’ve already fallen, are noticeably dizzy or unsteady, or have a medical condition aff ecting your balance, you need to see a doctor. They might refer you to a physical therapist or to an appropriate balance-training class in your community. It’s also important to know that many medicines and medical conditions – from Parkinson’s disease to diabetes to inner-ear disorders – can aff ect balance.

DiZoglio. “They deserve a chance to survive, to see a return on their investment, to contribute to the tax base and employ our family, friends, neighbors and fellow residents of the commonwealth. Every additional business that survives the pandemic in Massachusetts will enhance the longer-term health of our economy.” Amendment opponents said they are open to the idea of the relief fund but argued that the Senate should focus on the bill itself which offers millions of dollars in relief to businesses rather than add amendments at this juncture. They said this idea can be revisited in the future. (A “Yes” vote is for the $5 million grant program. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis No HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of March 15-19, the House met for a total of four hours and 56 minutes while the Senate met for a total of seven hours and 44 minutes. Mon.

If you see Kevin “Eddie’s little brother” Larson at Planet Fitness on Eastern Avenue or at the Y doing the dog paddle or just tooling around town, congratulate him on 33 years (May 21) of wedded bliss. Congrats, Kev, to you and your lovely bride Tricia. Thanks for this quote also: “Malden guy did well with a beautiful Meff a girl!” “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – my, oh my, how time fl ies! Damn! Seems like just yesterday we gathered at Devir Park for the dedication of the Edward “Eddie” J. Larson Field at Devir Park. It was Sept. 7, 2015, when we all stood on a beautiful Sunday morning to watch the city of Malden and our rad Mayor Gary Christenson dedicate the baseball diamond at Devir Park (Eddie’s home away from home since he was a wee bitty boy). It’s been seven years (April 17) since we lost our dear friend, Mr. Eddie Larson. Eddie was a wonderful human being and he just loved to laugh. He loved to chew the fat also, especially about the old days in the city he loved so much. He truly loved life. A very brief history of Eddie: He started his involvement with the semipro baseball league the Intercity League in 1969 as a batboy for the Malden Merchants. By the time he “retired,” he was the general manager of the Augustine Athletics with nine Intercity League championships under his belt. He was also elected into the ICL Hall of Fame in 2012 and became a member of the ICL board as treasurer the same year. There are not many people in the city of Malden more knowledgeable about the game of baseball, and its local history, than Eddie. Perhaps the late Tom Heerter, Bob “Mr. Babe Ruth League” Rotondi, Steve Freker from the Malden Advocate, Peter “Panama” Carroll, Kenny Mazonson, former pro baseball player Dave Caiazzo and Terry Matthews come to mind. But Eddie could hold his own with all of them. I loved to chat up Eddie – pick his brain about this player or that player. He always had a story and it was always spot on, most of the time hilarious. One of the last times we talked at Anthony’s on Canal Street, it was about Malden High School Hall of Famer Steve Ring and Steve’s run in the ICL. We laughed out loud. Eddie told a good story. Postscript: As Eddie would say, “No man is a failure who has friends.” We love and miss you, Eddie!
