here was no mystery about
this kid. If you knew him,
even a little, you probably considered
him a friend. Those who
knew him the best, even more
so. A quick smile, an easy laugh
and those bright, magical eyes
which could brighten a room
like a firefly in the midst of a
summer night. Those are just
some of the gifts he possessed.

New ping-pong club kicks off in Malden
T
he Greater Malden Asian
American Community Coalition
(GMAACC) kicked off its
new Ping Pong Club on June
1. Going forward, the club will
provide regular space for community
residents to gather in
and engage in social and recreational
activities. Mayor Gary
Christenson, State Representative
Steven Ultrino, Ward 3
Councillor Amanda Linehan
and Councillor-at-Large Stephen
Winslow were in attendance.
“This

– giving the AAPI [Asian American
Pacific Islander] community
a safe space to spend time
outside their homes is so essential.
We are so grateful to
the Unitarian Universalist
Church of Malden for partnering
with us on this long-awaited
effort.”
Asian American elders have
been seeking a space to play
ping-pong. Due to the closure
of the Malden Senior Center due
to the COVID-19 pandemic, the
Senior Center’s ping-pong program
was put on hold. The Senior
Center recently resumed
programming, but on a more
limited basis. Other community
groups have tried to fill the gaps,
but regularly available space for
such a program has been challenging
to find.
The GMAACC Ping-Pong Club
will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

cus on the strong sense of community
pride, first-class residents,
local attractions and hidden
gems. Wednesday’s taping
focused on one of the longest-serving
members of Congress
in history, as Sen. Markey
– first elected as a U.S. Rep. from
Malden in 1976 – approaches 50
years serving in Washington, D.C.
Markey recalled a kaleidoscope
of Malden memories while seated
in front of a true local gem of
a building. Coincidentally, it was
on the lawn of this same library
where Markey, who turns 75 on
July 11, celebrated his impressive
primary win over Democratic
challenger Joseph Kennedy in
September 2020.
When he was finished with
that portion of filming, Sen. Markey
led the crew directly across
Salem Street to another iconic
local building, Malden High
School. There he showed Underwood
and the Boston 25 crew
the impressive mural which displays
great moments in Malden
history, for about a 1/10th of a
mile stretch along the side of the
building. Sen. Markey also led the
group into the MHS courtyard,
where he introduced Underwood
and crew to the Louise May
Stokes Fraser memorial sculpture
honoring the 1928 MHS alumna
who went on to become the
first Black female U.S. Olympian.
Known as “The Malden Meteor,”
Stokes Fraser participated in 1932
and 1936 as a member of the U.S.
Olympics Women’s Track Team.
While visiting Malden High
School, Senator Markey was
greeted by MHS Principal Chris
Mastrangelo and Malden Superintendent
of Schools John Oteri.
The trio discussed both Stokes
Fraser’s legacy and the present
status of Malden High School
as the most diverse high school
in Massachusetts as well as the
16th most diverse in the United
States. Underwood and Supt.

Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday – concrete baby steps
By Peter F. Levine
M
y destination: “The Sager
Family Foundation and
Traveling Roadshow” located in
a majestic high rise overlooking
the Boston Common – and the
Charles River stretching as far
as the eye can see – Bobby Sager’s
comfy home and sanctuary.
I have a sit down scheduled with
“The Philanthropist” himself on
this sunny Friday afternoon at
his humble (10,000+ square
feet) abode not far from where
the old “Sugar Shack” once
stood; two Malden boys getting
acquainted. Bobby (Sager)
and his family are currently on
a short hiatus recharging their
souls in anticipation of their next
challenge. Bobby and his family,
through their foundation, go
around the world fighting the
good fight, from the mundane,
such as living in a tent in Karachi
and sharing a toilet with 40
monks in the Himalayas, to important
stuff like working alongside
President Kagame in Rwanda
or discussing science education
with the Dalai Lama in India.
And on occasion enjoying
the moment by joining forces
with the likes of Bruce Springsteen,
Sting, Tom Hanks and
Lady Gaga spreading the awareness
gospel – most importantly,
helping people help themselves
in just about every hot
spot around the world. What I
took from our hour plus conversation
was that although he
is making a difference around
the globe on a grander scale
than most, he feels we can all
make a difference with what he
calls “concrete baby steps.” According
to Bobby each one of us
making a small difference in our
own community is as vital as the
work he has taken on.
A Malden slice of life...It’s the
random acts of kindness and
small gestures in life – those
“concrete baby steps” that Bobby
Sager preaches about all the
time – that make Malden such
a great place to call home. Read
on: Henry Figueroa is a maintenance
engineer at Malden High
School. He came across a turkey
nest maybe a month back behind
the high school building
hidden behind a bush. Henry
contacted Animal Control Maven
Kevin Alkins because there
were quite a few eggs in the
nest. He was concerned for the
safety of mom (since named “Tilda”
by one of the teachers, by
the way) and her future chicks.
He made sure to check on mom
and make sure no students
bothered her or the nest. The
chicks finally hatched. Henry’s
significant other Joanne (Settemio)
congratulated him on his
new status: stepfather! According
to Joanne the 11 chicks are
the “cutest things she ever saw
and well-guarded” as Henry and
seated at the booth or standing
behind their teammates anchored
by their coaches. Some
names you will recognize; some
you will not. Doesn’t matter. It
is pure delight to the eyes. Sgt.
George Mancini is the manager
and Joe Barahona is the coach.
The young ballplayers included
Jimmy & Joey Barahona, Guy &
Steve Catallo, Billy Carbonneau,
Billy “Cas” Casamento, Diego
“Dickie” Barricelli, Gennaro Funicella,
Jackie Gagliardi, Johnny
Brandano, Ronny Golini, Billy
& Peter Gennetti, Paul Mancini,
Bobby Marinelli, Ronny Moore,
Bobby Moro, Anthony Pagliccia,
Carl Pappo, Phil Scaramozzino,
Anthony & Paul Sestito, Joe
Teta and Ray Tricca. A short update
on a couple of the children,
many who made a significant
impact in Malden over the years,
68 years later:
Anthony Sestito was killed in
action in Vietnam on the same
day in June of 1969 as his neighbor
Kevin Crowe.

to be from Malden or to have
lived here very long to appreciate
it. You just have to be a human
being. The children in the
photo remind me of what we
all once were those many years
ago: filled with youthful innocence,
imbued with the joy of
being young, playing baseball
and having friends. Their smiling
faces, priceless. The playfulness
in their demeaner you
can spot all the way across Malden
and through the newsprint.

Dance films and art fair to be held
at City Hall Plaza
C
ity Hall Plaza will be transformed
into an outdoor movie
theatre on the evenings of
June 5 and June 12, when Monkeyhouse
presents the Malden
Dance Mile, a series of free dance
films on a large screen. (Rain
dates are June 6 and June 13.) The
dance films were created during
National Choreography Month
(NACHMO) Boston and feature
the work of 27 local choreographers
over the two evenings.
Anyone attending the free event
should bring a chair or blanket to
sit on to watch the performance.
An art fair will be held on the plaza
starting at 5 p.m. The films will
start at 8 p.m. on both evenings.
NACHMO Boston is a program
where choreographers create
brand-new dance pieces during
January every year and perform
them at the end of the month.
Since there were no live performances
this past year, the choreographers
created dance films
instead. This is the live presentation
of those films by choreographers
with a range of styles, ages
and ethnic backgrounds. Choreographers
include Lacey Sasso,
Brett Michael Bell, Sarah Craver,
Amy Foley & OnStage Dance
Company, Lila Ruth Klaus, Jessica
Roseman, Jennifer Binversie,
Zara Williams-Nicholas, Meena

scalped tickets outside the Boston
Garden as a teenager, graduated
from Yale and has one of
the most unique approaches to
life and living as anybody alive
today? Google Bobby and tell
me “concrete baby steps” and his
“eyeball to eyeball” philanthropy
aren’t building blocks for a
better future around the world.
Want to hear something really
cool? Information you need to
know about Bobby “The Philanthropist”
Sager: Bobby’s son
Shane plays harmonica in Sting’s
touring band. Sting of Police fame.
Shane of Sager Family Traveling
Foundation and Roadshow fame.
Did you know...that Bobby
(Sager) is an internationally acclaimed
photographer? His images
(and back story) of sevenyear-old
Moses, a child soldier in
Rwanda forced to commit murder,
are breathtaking. His photos
of young Moses with his only
possession, a soccer ball put together
with trash, plastic bags
and string, are heartbreaking as
well as amazing.
Gleaned a great idea from
Facebook last week (concrete
baby steps?). A lot of Maldonians
worried after the first time
using the new recycle bin that
access to the redeemable cans
and bottles would be difficult at
best for those who make a living
retrieving them. Somebody on
Facebook suggested using the
old recycle bin for easy access to
the returnable. Problem solved.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Did you know...that a
175-pound meteorite that landed
in Ghana now sits in Bobby
Sager’s living room at his apartment
in Boston? Fascinating collectible.
Call
me a sentimental old fool
but Neal “Mr. Concrete Baby
Steps” Anderson’s three minute,
26 second closing statement at
last week’s City Council meeting
announcing that he will not
run for his seat again hit me like
a Ron “Bevy” Drinkwater uppercut.
I like and respect Neal very
much. I/we will miss him a great
deal. Mazel Tov, my friend!
“This is the end, beautiful
friend, this is the end, my only
friend, the end” – man, oh man
did I blow it last week! In my
comments praising retired Malden
Police Officer Frankie Spinelli
and his ex-colleague Capt.
Paul Hopkins, I neglected to
mention possibly the most important
Malden police officer in
the past 50 years. He almost singlehandedly
helped the force
shed the negative image associated
with them from the 1970s,
paving the way for the MPD that
we all praise today. I mentioned
Frankie, John Crannell, Kevin
Molis, Gary Hennessey and
George Grimes but left out (the
late) Al “Aldo” Ray. Check out last
week’s Malden Advocate for a
detailed explanation on why my
omission was so glaring. Thank
you, Mr. Ray, for your sacrifice.
Postscript 1: “I have seen Maplewood
change from a homogenous
village to a cosmopolitan
community. The Maplewood of
today is better and more interesting
than the Maplewood of
over a generation ago. I deplore
the tendency to compare the
Maplewood of the present with
the Maplewood of the past to
the disadvantage of the former.
Everything in Maplewood
can be improved. That is true of
every other place in the country.
That is the job of those of
us who live here. We cannot be
content and cease to strive for
better things.
I was brought here an infant
in arms. I have never seen the
day I had any desire to live anywhere
else, nor can I conceive
of any other place having sufficient
attractions to cause me to
move out of here.”

Club Magazine, April 1930.)

LOSS | FROM PAGE 1
Simon Daponta, at only age
19, probably had more friends
than most folks who were decades
older than the popular
Malden teen might accumulate
through the years. Simon
also had a close family
who loved him dearly and
supported him through his
formative years right through
to the present, where he was
just at the doorstep of young
adulthood. That is why it hit
the Malden community and
those at Malden High School
so very hard, stopping many
in their tracks with disbelief,
when news spread of his devastating
loss in a tragic motor
vehicle accident on Friday afternoon,
May 28.
Malden High School Principal
Chris Mastrangelo was busy
Friday afternoon with last-minute
preparations for the first
MHS Senior Prom since 2019,
a glittering, down-home affair
to be held right on the campus
of MHS, when he got the
terrible news. “I was devastated.
Simon was just a great kid
in so many ways, who brightened
up our school and helped
bring so much happiness to
his classmates and teammates
in his years here,” Mastrangelo
said. The MHS principal said
he had to sit down and collect
his thoughts before sharing the
tragic news with Superintendent
John Oteri and the MHS
administrative team.
“We had so much excitement
and goodwill all week
… for the Prom, and then we
heard about Simon’s passing
the same day,” Mastrangelo
said. “We certainly had
heavy hearts that evening.
Everyone loved Simon and
our hearts go out to his family
and friends.”
According to Massachusetts
State Police (MSP) reports,
Daponta was the driver of a
2009 Freightliner M2 box truck
that crashed into the grass
shoulder of the highway on
Route I-93 southbound near Rt.
35 in Tewksbury at about 12:15
p.m. on Friday.
According to MSP, he apparently
fell asleep at the wheel
and the truck drifted right, hit
an electrical box and rolled
over onto the driver’s side. According
to MSP, Daponta suffered
fatal injuries while the
two passengers in the truck’s
cab, a 41-year-old Medford
man and a 29-year-old Taunton
man, were not injured in the
crash. No other vehicles were
involved in the crash.
The crash continues to be investigated
by Troop A of the
MSP, the MSP Collision Analysis
and Reconstruction Section
and the MSP Crime Scene Services
Section.

student-athlete in the Class of 2020. (Courtesy/MHS Maldonian)
Malden and attended the Forestdale
and Linden K-8 Schools
before coming to Malden High
School. He was a member of
the Class of 2020 and graduated
at an outdoor ceremony
with limited attendance
in August, in the midst of the
COVID-19 pandemic. It was a
joyous day, one of the few traditional
events able to be reclaimed
for that graduating
class. Simon was a two-sport
standout, excelling as a league
All-Star for the MHS Varsity Golf
Team under Coach Bob Malatesta
and also the Varsity Boys
Lacrosse Team led by coach Jon
Copithorne. Both coaches said
they and the teammates who
knew Simon were hard-hit by
the tragic news.
MHS Principal Mastrangelo
and Supt. Oteri both informed
the high school community
and the districtwide community
of the devastating news over
the weekend. Mastrangelo said
grief counselors were made
available beginning Tuesday
morning when students and
staff returned to school and
the long holiday Memorial
Day weekend, and they were
in place for those who needed
support the remainder of
this week.
Many from Malden High
School and from the Malden
community attended a celebration
of Simon’s life held
Wednesday night at Anthony’s
of Malden.
Born on February 5, 2002,
in Melrose, Simon was the beloved
son of Steven and Helen
Daponta, cherished brother
of Aidan and his wife, Lauren,
of Boxford and his sister,
Emily Daponta of Malden. Simon
grew up in Malden but
was surrounded by a loving
family near and far. Simon
will be lovingly remembered
by many aunts, uncles, cousins
and friends. He was predeceased
by his grandparents:
Julio and Loretta Daponta of
Everett and Larry and Phyllis
Quinn of Dublin.
Arrangements are being handled
by the Spadafora Funeral
Home (865 Main St., Malden).
An obituary may be viewed at
www.spadaforafuneral.com.
Donations may be made in Simon’s
name and honor to the
JL11Fund at www.jl11fund.org.

THE
HOUSE AND SENATE:
Beacon Hill Roll Call records local
senators’ votes on roll calls from
the week of May 24-28. All Senate
roll calls are on proposed amendments
to the $47.72 billion fiscal
2022 budget. There were no roll
calls in the House last week.
This was the Senate’s second
state budget in the COVID-19
era and most senators participated
virtually from their homes
or offices.
Of the 923 amendments filed
by senators only 15 came to a
roll call vote. Many others were
simply approved or rejected one
at a time on voice votes without
debate.
To move things along even
faster, the Senate also did its usual
“bundling” of many amendments.
Instead of acting on all the
amendments one at a time, hundreds
of the proposed amendments
are bundled and put into
two piles—one pile that will be
approved and the other that will
be rejected-with a single vote on
each pile.
Senate President Karen Spilka,
or the senator who is filling in for
her at the podium, orchestrates
the approval and rejection of
the bundled amendments with a
simple: “All those in favor say ‘aye,’
those opposed say ‘no.’ The ayes
have it and the amendments are
approved.” Or “All those in favor
say ‘aye,’ those opposed say ‘no.’
The no’s have it and the amendments
are rejected.”
Senators don’t actually vote
yes or no, and, in fact, they don't
say a word. The outcome was
predetermined earlier behind
closed doors.
process this year reflected lots
of careful work by our Ways and
Means Chair, Michael Rodriques,
and our Senate President, Karen
Spilka, to build consensus in the
weeks before the budget," said
Senate President Pro Tempore
Sen. Will Brownsberger (D-Belmont).
Despite
repeated requests
from Beacon Hill Roll Call, Senate
President Karen Spilka's office did
not respond to a request to comment
on the bundled amendments
and the small number of
roll calls. And no response was
received from Spilka's leadership
team of Sens. Cindy Creem
(D-Newton), Joan Lovely (D-Salem),
Mike Barrett (D-Lexington)
and Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett).
"Roll call requests are based
on a number of factors that are
the subject of both continuing
and contemporaneous discussions
within the caucus based
on specific issues," said GOP Minority
Leader Bruce Tarr (R-North
Reading).
“[The process] more accurately
highlights the increasingly efficient
use of the legislative rubber
stamp,” said Chip Ford, executive
director of Citizens for Limited
Taxation. “Massachusetts
doesn't need the cost of 200 legislators
when a handful decide
all legislation before it comes for
a vote. If the three token 'loyal
opposition' Republican senators
weren’t taking up space taxpayers
could at least save the ‘leadership
stipends’ they collect.”
“This type of process was not
the norm only several years
ago," said Massachusetts Fiscal
Alliance executive director Paul
Craney. "Over the last few years,
with new legislative leadership,
they rush through votes, often
don’t record the votes and don’t
allow the public to gain access
to what is happening because
most of the important work is
done behind closed doors. With
that being said, the state Senate
is much more transparent than
Speaker Ron Mariano and Republican
Brad Jones in the House.
The House is arguably the most
opaque legislature in America.”
$47.72 BILLION FISCAL 2022
BUDGET (S 3)
Senate 40-0, approved a $47.72
million fiscal 2022 state budget
for the fiscal year that begins July
1, 2021.
Senators added on an additional
$63.7 million in spending
during three days of debate on
the Senate floor. The House recently
approved its own version
of the budget. A House-Senate
conference committee will hammer
out a compromise version.
“This is an extraordinarily hopeful
budget, designed to get us
‘back to better,’” said Senate
President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland).
“The Massachusetts Senate
vowed to act on what we
learned from the COVID-19 public
health crisis and invest in areas
that lift up our children, families
and seniors across all communities
-- and that is exactly what this
budget does.”
Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport),
Chair of the Senate Committee
on Ways and Means said,
“The Senate has charted a hopeful
path forward this week and
passed a fiscally responsible fiscal
Year 2022 budget that makes
investments to expand educational
opportunity, safeguard the
health and wellness of our most
vulnerable, support our children
and families and meet the needs
of our post-pandemic economy.
“The budget that we passed
today focuses on the future and
ensures that every resident, business,
and family can find success
in a post-pandemic Massachusetts,”
said Sen. Patrick O’Connor
(R-Weymouth), Ranking Minority
Member of the Senate Committee
on Ways and Means. “The
past year has been difficult for so
many, and this budget strives to
put in place programs designed
to recover from the effects of
COVID-19. Now is the time for
us to rebuild and make the commonwealth
an even better place
to call home.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the budget).
Sen. Jason Lewis Yes
TAX DEDUCTION FOR REMOTE
LEARNING SUPPLIES
(S 3)
Senate 5-34, rejected an
amendment that would provide
up to a $500 tax deduction
for any K-12 teachers’ expenses
they paid for the costs of remote
teaching their students. Eligible
expenses include professional
development courses taken related
to the curriculum, books, supplies,
computer equipment and
for personal protective equipment,
disinfectant and other supplies
used for the prevention of
the spread of COVID-19.
Amendment supporters said
it is unfair that teachers have to
personally pay from their own
pockets to cover for these costs.
He noted that a recent survey
showed that teachers spent an
average of $745 was spent of
their own money on learning
materials.
Amendment opponents said
they support reimbursing these
teachers but argued a tax deduction
is not the best way to do
it. They noted the state should
use some of the billions of dollars
in federal funds it receives
under the Elementary and Secondary
School Emergency Relief
Fund and directly reimburse
the teachers.
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment
allowing a $500 deduction.
A “No” vote is against it.)
Sen. Jason Lewis No
ALLOW FARMERS A TAX DEDUCTION
FOR DONATING
FOOD (S 3)
Senate 6-33, rejected an
amendment that would give a
taxpayer who is in the trade or
business of farming and makes
a charitable contribution of food
to a nonprofit food organization
a deduction on their income tax
return for up to 25 percent of the
value of the food. The amendment
also regulates the contributions
and sets standards that the
food quality must meet.
Amendment supporters said
the deduction will help these
generous farmers and the charities.
They noted that the federal
government and several states already
allow this deduction.
Amendment opponents said
the state cannot afford the revenue
loss in a budget that is tight
and still relies on money from the
Rainy Day Fund. They noted the
budget delays the implementation
of the overall charitable deduction
that was discontinued in
2001 and argued it is not time to
pick and choose a specific group
of taxpayers who will receive a
charitable deduction.
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment
allowing the charitable deduction
for farmers. A “No” vote is
against it.)
Sen. Jason Lewis No
ADDITIONAL $3 MILLION
FOR LOCAL BOARDS OF
HEALTH (S 3)
Senate 39-0, approved an
amendment increasing funding
for local boards of health by $3
million (from $10 million to $13
million).
Amendment supporters said
that these grants will improve
public health protections across
the state by strengthening local
capacity and supporting sharing
of services among cities and
towns.
“The pandemic made clear
what has long been true: Protecting
our health requires strengthening
investments at the local
level,” said sponsor Sen. Jo
Comerford (D-Northampton). “In
our commonwealth, every municipality
has their own board
of health or health department.
These funds will decrease inequities
between communities
and promote better health for
everyone.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the $3 million
increase in funding).
Sen. Jason Lewis Yes
ADDITIONAL $508,419 FOR
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION
AND SURVIVOR SERVICES
(S 3)
Senate 39-0, approved an
amendment increasing funding
for Domestic Violence and Sexual
Assault Prevention and Survivor
Services by $508,419 (from
$50,874,714 to $50,366,295).
“What many people don't realize
is that a consequence of
the pandemic has been a significant
increase in instances of domestic
abuse,” said sponsor Sen.
Mike Moore (D-Millbury). “As a result,
there has been an increase in
individuals seeking services provided
by the Executive Office of
Health and Human
Services. It is critical that we
provide more funding for these
services so that access to care remains
available for survivors of
domestic abuse and sexual assault
in the commonwealth."
(A “Yes” vote is for the $508,419
increase in funding).
Sen. Jason Lewis Yes
$500,000 TO IMPROVE MATERNAL
AND NEWBORN
HEALTH OUTCOMES (S 3)
Senate 38-1, approved an
amendment that would provide
$500,000 for the Perinatal-Neonatal
Quality Improvement Network
(PNQIN) of Massachusetts
that works with hospitals and
maternal health organizations to
eliminate disparities in maternal
morbidity and mortality.
“I filed [the] amendment … to
provide funding to PNQIN because
I believe that it is every person’s
right to build a happy and
healthy family in the commonwealth
of Massachusetts,” said
amendment sponsor Sen. Harriette
Chandler (D-Worcester). “An
essential element of PNQIN’s mission
is to fight and eliminate long
standing racial disparities in maternal
mortality and to improve
health outcomes of all pregnant
people and their children. PNQIN
is at the forefront of maternal
health equity, and their work will
unequivocally bring us closer to a
commonwealth full of happy and
healthy parents and children.”
“I have a strong belief that the
practice of earmarking funds
for private organizations within
the budget leads to more harm
than good in our political system,”
said Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz,
the only senator to vote against
the amendment. “Although the
PNQIN does important work,
and I appreciate Sen. Chandler's
championing of this worthy
cause, I believe government
works better when the Legislature
sticks to its role of setting categories
of funding priorities, and
I respect the executive branch
agencies’ responsibility to make
comparisons among projects
and service providers to choose
the organizations that best carry
out those priorities. As such,
I have a policy of voting against
earmarks when it comes to setting
budget priorities.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the $500,000.
A “No” vote is against it.)
Sen. Jason Lewis Yes
ADDITIONAL $500,000 FOR
SECURITY FOR SCHOOLS AND
HOUSES OF WORSHIP (S 9)
Senate 39-0, approved an
amendment increasing funding
by $500,000 (from $1 million
to $1.5 million) for security and
enhancements for at-risk houses
of worship, schools, community
centers and other nonprofit
institutions. This includes the
installation of security cameras,
enhanced lighting, ballistic doors

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 4, 2021
Malden High baseball tops Everett,
7-4, for first GBL win
Cohen, McMahon lead way on the mound; Jordan, Ortega and Noelsaint lead offense
By Jason Mazzilli
T
here were two game balls
to be bestowed on a pair of
players following Malden High
baseball's 7-4 win over visiting
Everett at Kezer Field in Malden
Tuesday.
That was due to a superb, "tag
team" pitching performance by
Golden Tornado junior righthander
Shai Cohen and sophomore
righty Brandon McMahon.
Cohen hurled the first four innings
and scattered four hits. A
few walks and some great base
running by the Everett Gibbs
brothers (Brandon, 2-for-4, 5 stolen
bases and Brian, 1-for-3, 4
stolen bases) led to some Everett
scoring after Malden had taken
a 3-0 lead after two innings.
Cohen pitched tough and escaped
a pair of situations in the
first four innings where Everett
could have potentially tacked
on more runs.
"Shai (Cohen) has done an
excellent job in both of his two
starts," said Malden High 5thyear
head coach Steve Freker.
"Today we backed him up with
some scoring and all-around excellent
defense."
McMahon came on in relief to
start the top of the fifth inning
and was simply dominating.
The big 6-2, 200 righty tossed
all zeroes over three complete
innings, allowing just one hit,
walked two and struck out seven.
"What a job Brandon did,
but it's really no surprise, because
he's been doing it all year,"
Coach Freker said. "His earned
run average is 1.25 and he has
allowed only five hits in 12 innings
of relief so far. He's really

on Mondays through Thursdays.
“Many elders have been
so excited about this,” said Du.
“They have been asking me for
months when we’ll get this program
started.”
“Many in our community – including
Asian American elders
– have been eager to find recreational
opportunities after a
year of lockdown,” said GMAACC
Program Director Dr. Jenny Hsi.
“With more people getting vaccinated
and restrictions being
lifted, we are excited to provide

team to a 7-4 win over Everett in Malden on Wednesday.(Advocate Photo)
given us a chance to win in all
of the games he's appeared on
the mound."
With the win, Malden improved
to 2-4 overall, 1-2 in the
Greater Boston League (GBL).
Everett is still seeking its first win.
A big reason for the victory
on Wednesday was the standout
defense Malden played.
It has been a rough patch until
then for the Tornados, who
a safe and healthy way for folks
to gather.”

have gotten very good pitching
each time out, but a poor defensive
showing nearly every game,
with too many errors.
On Wednesday, there was
only one defensive error and
plenty of great defensive plays.
Malden fans got a glimpse
of what to expect in the very
first inning when senior captain
Mike Mathes made a spectacular
catch in centerfield, on a full
run and dive, going to his right.
"Mike (Mathes) saved two
runs right there," Coach Freker
said."That was one of the best
outfield catches ever made
by anyone I've ever coached,"
added Coach Freker, who has
coached over 600 high school
games in all.
Malden's middle infield of senior
captain and shortstop Liam
Jordan and junior second baseman
Shawn Bartholomew also
played strong all game, making
every play on a succession of
hard-hit balls by Everett batters.
Senior captain Clifton Noelsaint
made one of the plays of the
game when he nailed an Everett
runner at the plate with s perfect
throw from left field to junior
catcher Aidan Jordan, who applied
the tag and stamped out
a Crimson Tide rally,
"That was a huge play. They
(Everett) had just taken the lead
(4-3) for the first time and that
run would have given them a
bigger lead," Coach Freker said.
Malden came right back with
a big rally in the bottom of the
fourth inning, scoring three
times with two out to re-take
the lead at 6-4. After junior Luke
Zubryzicki and Mathes drew key
walks to start the inning, junior
Sam Ortega (2-for-3) laid down
a perfect sacrifice bunt to move
up the runners.
Junior Solarzano mashed an
RBI single into centerfield to
score both runners, and Liam
Jordan then hit a bomb triple
way over everything to onehop
the fence in deep left field
to Malden ahead, 6-4.
Malden added an insurance
run in the sixth inning when
Mathes walked, stole second
and then stole third, scoring
when the throw down went into
left field making it 7-4 Malden.
McMahon took the reins and
steered Malden to the win, striking
out four of the last five batters
he faced.

~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~
Resident seeks answers to Trafton Park issues
Dear Editor,
I am writing as to the article
in last week’s Malden Advocate
regarding the Trafton Park renovations.
First,
I would like to say the Tot
Lot looks wonderful. Dedicating
it to long time Malden resident
Joan Callahan was so deserving
of her.
The issue I as a resident of ward
6 am having is the plan we as residents
were shown last year by
both councilors (David) Camell
and (Stephen) Winslow was not
what has come to fruition. The
field at Trafton Park has been left
in deplorable condition.
Please, councillors Camell and
Winslow; where did this $400,000
go to? The crown jewel of Maplewood
has been left in complete
disarray and cannot be used by
the children of Malden in any way.
As residents, this is not what
you both put forth to us. Leaving
Trafton Park unusable this season
is unacceptable. I have text Councillor
Winslow multiple times
and you choose to ignore them.
I have requested a meeting with
you both to discuss these issues
and Councillor Camell, you flat
out denied me and the residents
of ward 6 any meeting to discuss
these serious issues.
Thank you,
Kevin Larson
58 yr. Resident of Malden

in public review of local
police 'use of force' policies
Informational ZOOM public meeting
set for June 10 at 6:30 p.m.
Special to the Advocate
A
national conversation is
taking place on the role of
policing in American communities.
Protests have surged
across the country in the past
few years, starting with Michael
Brown’s death at the
hands of police in 2014 in
Ferguson, MO and now following
the recent murder of
George Floyd in Minneapolis,
MN.
As part of the Mayor’s
UniteMalden2020 initiative,
Mayor Christenson signed
the Obama Foundation’s “Reimagining
Policing Pledge”
and committed to the following
actions:
REVIEW your police use of
force policies.
ENGAGE your communities
by including a diverse range
of input, experiences, and stories
in your review.
REPORT the findings of your
review to your community and
seek feedback.
REFORM your community’s
police use of force policies.
An advisory group was
formed to review the Malden
Police Department’s use
of force policy by navigating
these 4 steps and making recommendations.
A critical stage
of the process is to gather feedback
from the community and
include their input on the recommendations.
Members
of the community
are urged to learn more
about the use of force of policy
and the recommendations
and to fill out a survey which
is found at: https://www.cityofmalden.org/741/UniteMalden-2020
The
information is translated
in different languages.
The community is also invited
to attend an informational
public meeting on June 10
at 6:30PM, on Zoom (Webinar
ID: 974 0704 6842 and Passcode:
455489). For more information
call 781-397-7000,

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 4, 2021
Savvy Senior
by Jim Miller
How to Downsize Your
Home for a Move
Dear Savvy Senior,
What tips can you offer for downsizing? My husband and
I would like to relocate from our house into a retirement
community condo near our daughter but need to get rid of a lot
of personal possessions before we can move.
Overwhelmed Willa
Dear Willa,
The process of weeding through a house full of stuff and parting
with old possessions is difficult and overwhelming for most people.
A good place to start is to see if your kids, grandkids or other family
members would like any of your unused possessions. Whatever
they don’t want, here are a few tips and services that may help
you downsize.
Sell It
Selling your stuff is one way to get rid of your possessions and
pad your pocketbook at the same time. Selling options may include
consignment shops, a garage sale, estate sale and selling online.
Consignment shops are good for selling old clothing, household
furnishings and decorative items – they typically get 30 to 40
percent of the sale price. A good old-fashion garage sale is another
option, or for large-scale downsizing you could hire an estate
sale company to come in and sell your items. See EstateSales.net
and EstateSales.org to locate options in your area. Some estate
companies will even pick up your stuff and sell it at their own
location – they typically take about 35 percent of the profits.
Selling online is also a great option and opens you up to a wider
audience. The OfferUp app (OfferUp.com), Facebook Marketplace
(Facebook.com/marketplace), Craigslist (Craigslist.org) and the
CPlus for Craigslist app (Yanflex.com) are great options for selling
locally, which can eliminate the packing and shipping costs and
hassle. These websites and apps also don’t take a cut of your sales,
but you’re responsible for connecting with your buyer and making
the exchange of money and goods.
Donate It
If you itemize on your tax returns, donating your belongings to
charitable organizations is another way to downsize and get a tax
deduction. The Salvation Army (SAtruck.org, 800-728-7825) will
actually come to your house and pick up a variety of household
items, including furnishings and clothing. Goodwill (Goodwill.org)
is another good option to donate to but they don’t offer pickup
services.
If your deductions exceed $500, you’ll need to file Form 8283,
“Noncash Charitable Contributions” (IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8283.
pdf). You’ll also need a receipt from the organization for every
batch of items you donate and will need to create an itemized list
of the items donated. To calculate fair market value for your stuff,
use the Salvation Army’s donation guide at SAtruck.org/home/
donationvalueguide.
Toss It
If you have a lot of junk you want to get rid of, contact your
municipal trash service to see if they provide bulk curbside
pickup services. Or, depending on where you live, you could hire
a company like 1-800-Got-Junk (1800gotjunk.com, 800-468-5865)
or Junk-King (Junk-King.com, 888-888-5865) to come in and haul
it off for a moderate fee.
Another disposal option is Bagster (TheBagster.com, 877-7892247)
by Waste Management. This is a dumpster bag that you
purchase for around $30, fill it to a limit of 3,300 pounds and
schedule a pickup, which costs anywhere between $100 and $300
depending on your area.
Get Help
If you want or need some help, consider hiring a senior move
manager. These are professional organizers who help older adults
and their families with the daunting process of downsizing and
moving to a new residence. To locate one in your area, visit the
National Association of Senior Move Managers at NASMM.org
or call 877-606-2766. You can also search at Caring Transitions
(CaringTransitions.com), which is a large senior relocation and
transition services franchise company that has more than 200
franchises nationwide.
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.

~ Letter to the Editor ~
Governor owes Francisco
Ureña an apology
Dear Editor:
Veterans Assisting Veterans
is a volunteer nonprofit organization.
We note that The Boston
Globe Spotlight team’s recent
article vindicates the former
Massachusetts Secretary
of Veterans’ Services Francisco
Ureña, regarding his role at the
Holyoke Soldiers’ Home, where
76 elderly veterans died from
the COVID-19 outbreak. Ureña,
a decorated American war hero,
dedicated public servant and
dedicated veterans advocate,
was wrongfully summoned to
the State House to resign last
year. Ureña was used as a scapegoat
for the protection of the
Baker Administration. As a result,
his resignation caused severe
damage to his reputation
and livelihood.
The Board of Directors of
Veterans Assisting Veterans
finds no better time than now
to demand that Governor Baker
issue a public apology to
Ureña.
We call upon the people and
veterans of Massachusetts to directly
contact the governor and
his administration and demand
this public apology.
The deaths of veterans at
the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home
are tragic and could have
been avoided had the governor
favored professionalism
and skills in his choice
to oversee the facility rather
than political patronage and
nepotism.
Sincerely,
John A. MacDonald

motion detectors and vehicle
blockades.
“We are in the middle of a
pandemic of hate and violence,
and it’s growing at alarming
rates,” said sponsor Sen. Eric Lesser
(D-Longmeadow). This year
alone, there was the attempted
bombing at Ruth’s House, a
Jewish-affiliated assisted living
facility in Longmeadow, and in
the months that followed, a rapid
rise in Anti-Asian hate crimes.
We have an obligation as a commonwealth
to make sure that we
have the resources to put these
basic precautions in place for
these community groups and organizations.”
(A
“Yes” vote is for the $500,000).

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 May 2428,
the House met for a total of
eight minutes while the Senate
met for a total of 23 hours and
40 minutes.
Mon. May 24
House 11:01 a.m. to 11:03 a.m.
Senate 11:11 a.m. to 11:13 a.m.
Tues. May 25
No House session.
Senate 11:10 a.m. to 7:55 p.m.
Wed. May 26
No House session
Senate 10:30 a.m. to 8:05 p.m.
