Speaker Mariano and President

“Over eight months, I’ve

‘yes,’” said State Representative
Kate Lipper-Garabedian. “In
that same time frame, evidence
like the largest wildfi re in California

the imperative that we
take action now. I’m incredibly
proud to support bold climate

components of a comprehensive

Inside Information:
City Treasurer Grover provides
departmental update for City
Council’s Finance Committee
Dog 'doings' will be discussed further
by Council as problem grows around the city
By Steve Freker
n informative presentation
on Tuesday night provided
an inside look into one of
the City of Malden’s key departments.
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.

Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday –
Remembering Ed Larson
By Peter F. Levine
W
ith the free-for-all going
on for the Council seat
over in Ward 6, Kevin Larson
gave some serious thought
about whether to run or not.
If you do not believe me, just
ask him. 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.
From coast to coast, ward to
ward and without further ado
enquiring minds wanted to
know:
1. My full name is...Kevin M.
Larson.
2. I am currently...58 years
old.
3. I am saving up for...retirement.
4.
My home is in...our beloved
city of Malden.
5. I love people who...are
happy and genuine.
6. Something I say a lot is...“God
bless, be safe.”
7. I consider myself to be...independent
and an underdog.
8. I need to have...nothing, I
am quite content.
9. My favorite movie of all
time is...“The Verdict” (Paul
Newman), he never gave up!
10. My all-time role model
is...my mother and father, my

late brother Eddie, and my
grandfather.
11. I respect people who...
admit when they messed up.
12. The best thing anyone
has ever said to me is...“don’t
talk about it, DO IT!”
13. I am happy when... I’m
with my family up on Lake
Winnipesaukee.
14. I fi nd Lenny Clarke funny/hilarious.
15.
I am named after… I’m
unique; no other person was
named Kevin in my family
(good Irish name though).
16. I have two wonderful
kids...Brian and Christopher.
17. The farthest I’ve ever
been from home is...New Zealand,
Australia.
18. My special talents are...
coaching hockey and cooking.
19. I have one pet...Miss Molly,
whom I adore.
20. I played sports as a
youngster at Devir Park…
where else! The greatest park
in Massachusetts!
It is said in Malden today, tomorrow
and yesterday...
Kevin’s a character. He was
born that way. 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 got stories.
If you don’t believe me...
well, I think you know the answer
by now. Here’s a couple...
So, Kevin’s in Los AngeUSA

les (Beverly Hills) many years
ago, and he’s looking to meet
movie stars. 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

Lifelong Malden resident
celebrates a century
L
ifelong Malden resident
Gertrude “Gert” Murray celebrated
100 years on Sunday,
March 21. Mayor Gary Christenson
surprised her at a family celebration
at Exchange Street Bistro
to give her a Citation in recognition
of her milestone birthday.
Murray has lived in the same
house her entire life, has been
a proud member of the community
and is well-known for
her devotion to her family
and being a loving aunt. Perhaps
she is most famous for
being Malden Hospital’s longest
working employee, having
spent more than 50 years
on the job. When Christenson
asked Murray what her secret
was for such a long and happy
life, she said that the love
of her family, walking and taking
apple cider vinegar every
day is what keeps her young.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 26, 2021
TESTING | FROM PAGE 1
letter to Malden Public Schools
families released via email and
social media on Tuesday.
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.

lives of those living in underserved
communities. 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. This session
Governor Charlie Baker offered
amendments to the bill,
which have been considered
by the Legislature. The House
and Senate rejected eff orts to
slow the rate of progress toward
net-zero emissions by
2050, while accepting a number
of more technical amendments
that improve the bill.
The fi nal legislation:
• Sets a statewide net-zero
limit on greenhouse gas emissions
by 2050 and mandates
emissions limits every five
years, as well as sub-limits for
transportation, buildings and
other sectors of the economy
• Codifi es EJ provisions into
Massachusetts law, defining
EJ populations and providing
new tools and protections for
aff ected neighborhoods
• Establishes a municipal optin,
specialized stretch energy
code which includes a defi nition
of “net-zero building” and
net-zero building performance
standards
• Requires an additional 2,400
megawatts of off shore wind,
increasing the total authorization
to 5,600 megawatts in the
Commonwealth
• Directs the Department of
Public Utilities, the regulator
of the state’s electric and natural
gas utilities, to balance priorities
going forward: system
safety and security, reliability,
aff ordability, equity, and, signifi
cantly, reductions in greenhouse
gas emissions
• Sets appliance energy effi
ciency standards for a variety
of common appliances,
including plumbing, faucets,
computers and commercial
appliances

•
Establishes $12 million in
annual funding for the Massachusetts

• Provides solar incentives for
businesses by exempting them

on their premises to help
them off set their electricity use

for municipal lighting plants
that requires them to purchase
50 percent non-emitting
electricity by 2030, 75 percent

~ Political Announcement ~
Leone announces candidacy
for Ward 6 City Councillor
Dear Residents of Ward 6,
My name is Jerry Leone and I
am announcing my candidacy
for Ward 6 City Councillor.
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

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. Malden City Clerk
Greg Lucey, at the request of
Councillors Condon and Anderson,

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 26, 2021
Supt. 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.
You can attend the forum
through the following Zoom

We will provide further updates
in advance of next week’s
town hall meeting.
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.
Sincerely,
John

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.

~ 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.

Last-second thriller:
Dalencour three-pointer lifts Malden

own a point with less than
15 seconds to play, Malden
needed something big to
happen. 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.
Malden and Revere were
scheduled to meet up for a second
time for the week tonight at
6:00 p.m. at Revere High School.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE:
Beacon Hill Roll Call records the
votes of local representatives
and senators from the week of
March 15-19.
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~

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

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.”

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.

“In January, I declared that we
must act quickly to provide our
workers with COVID-19 Emergency
Paid Sick Leave, and today
the Senate has delivered on
that promise,” said Senate President
Karen Spilka (D-Ashland).
“I am proud of the collaboration
that brought about this agreement,
which will provide needed
relief for both businesses and
workers … As we continue to recover
from the COVID-19 emergency,
these measures will provide
stability to our economy,
and keep workers safe.”
“No worker should have to
choose between staying home
if they risk spreading COVID-19
and earning a paycheck to support
their family, 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 Sen. 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

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.)

$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.

She started her day with a fresh attitude,
letting the day take her wherever

Dog “doings” create a health
and safety issue, and O’Malley
advocates well-placed signage,
beginning in the Malden Square
area (which is included in his
ward) and other well-frequented
spots around the city by dog
walkers. “It could be mostly visual
with images so that it would
avvyavy
y
be easy to understand by everyone,
including our residents
whose fi rst language may not
be English,” O’Malley said.
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.

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.
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.

en’t been around long enough
to receive the aid that is being
offered to established businesses,
it is devastating,” said sponsor
Sen. 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.)

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.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 26, 2021
MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 4
never get made.” Back-to-back
bangers, don’t you agree!?
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!
