Oteri stated in the letter. Specifically, the Superintendent stressed there are no imminent plans to close the Malden schools due to COVID-19. “Our schools will remain open until further notice,” he stated in the letter to Malden families and school staff .

He stated the local schools “will continue to follow the guidance put forth by city, state (Mass.

Police Captain Glenn Cronin, the city’s emergency management director, was at this week’s City Council meeting to explain steps the city has in place to deal with COVID-19. “In Malden, we are still in a prevention mode,” said Cronin. “If and when we have confirmed cases, we would go into a containment mode.” Cronin said the city is prepared for quarantines, isolation and even mass vaccinations. A widespread outbreak in the city would trigger Malden’s participation in the Incident Command System, a national emergency management program that integrates equipment, communications and other resources in a common organizational structure. “It’s my opinion that we won’t reach that point, but we have to be prepared in case it does,” said Cronin. Public Health Director Chris Webb, who is also a member of the city’s Emergency Management Team, was also at the City Council meeting with some numbers and news. “In Malden, we’ve had 47 casChris Webb Public Health Director es in isolation since this started,” said Webb. “Of those, 36 have completed 14 days of isolation with no symptoms and no one has progressed to the disease.” Webb said there are 10 more residents in isolation, and none have experienced any symptoms. One additional case involving a resident who was symptomatic after returning from a trip to Japan was tested for the virus. “That doesn’t feel like it will be a case, but we are erring on the side of caution,” said Webb. Webb also announced that Communications Director Ron Cochran, another member of the Emergency Management Team, will be posting alerts on the city website with pertinent information about COVID-19.

In October, MBA delivered a case packet to over 130 high school mock trial teams that were divided into 32 regions for the preliminary round of trials in January. This year’s case involved a student claiming a suspension handed down by the student’s school violated the student’s constitutional rights to free speech and due process. On March 1, MC, along with the The Mock Trial team at Malden Catholic High School recently advanced to the Elite Eight round of the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Mock Trial Tournament.

Now, they are reaping the benefi ts.” The regional opponent pairings were determined when the students arrived at the event – along with which side of the case the team had to defend. In the tournament, Malden Catholic drew Tewksbury as an opponent, and in a coin toss, Tewksbury chose to defend the side of the plaintiff . Led by senior captain, Jake Morrow, MC presented a strong defense and emerged victorious. Malden Catholic then advanced to the Sweet Sixteen tournament round in the afternoon and went on to defeat Holbrook in another strongly contested trial where they presented the plaintiff side of the case. The team traveled to Boston on Thursday, March 12 (after press deadline) for the Elite Eight round of the tournament at the John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse, where they are expected to compete against other top regional teams.

Malden Superintendent John Oteri relayed this information in a presentation at the Malden School Committee on March 2. At that meeting, he detailed how he and his staff compiled a plan that must be submitted by April 1 to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) as a means of providing an overview of how the Malden schools intend on using funds being provided under the new, recently passed Student Opportunity Act (SOA). The details of the plan were briefl y discussed at the March 2 meeting. At a follow-up meeting, held Tuesday night at the Malden Senior Center, the School Committee voted unanimously to approve the plan drawn up by the school administration. “We feel very confi dent that all of the top four areas that were cited most frequently by our stakeholders as areas for improvement seem to be in line with what our central staff had identifi ed,” Supt. Oteri said Tuesday night, reiterating that the methods used to solicit responses were by hosting a town hall meeting, an online survey and general comments received in the central offi ce. “I’d like to thank the superintendent and his staff for the work they have put into this plan,” Ward 5 School Committee Member Adam Weldai said. “It was really well done and well laid out. It will enable the School Committee to take some concrete steps in planning spending throughout the budget process.” Mayor Gary Christenson, who serves as School Committee chairman, said, “the [plan] will be evolving as time goes on, when there is more discussion on the details.” As part of the SOA process as outlined in the bill – signed into eff ect by Gov. Charlie Baker – each school district receiving additional funding for the FY21 fiscal year, which begins July 1, must submit a general plan on how it intends to use those funds. State Senator Jason Lewis (D-Malden, Winchester) was one of the lead sponsors of the SOA bill. He is also chair of the legislature’s Joint Committee on Education. Malden is receiving approximately $2.1 million in additional school funding in Year One of the seven-year SOA funding cycle. According to state offi cials and other reports, the Malden Public Schools are expected to receive from $23-25 million over that seven-year period. Class size reduction, hiring more teachers top list For this year’s plan, Supt. Oteri said, Malden has identifi ed class size reduction; increasing funding for social, emotional and physical health; more resources for professional development to improve teachers’ training; and more funding and resources for college and career readiness programs. “A focus on the classroom is central to our mission,” Supt. Oteri stated in the report under the heading “Class Size Reduction through Additional Hires.” “As we work through the budget season, we will collaborate with the Parent Information Center (PIC) and principals to identify areas where class size exceeds recommended guidelines and will use SOA funds to add teachers to schools and classrooms most aff ected by large class size.” At the March 2 School Committee meeting, Supt.

Health Connector for Business, which is operated by the state health insurance exchange, empowers small employers in Massachusetts to provide employees high-quality, affordable coverage. With nine carriers and more than 50 plans available, small businesses can find the right plan for their company and their employees. In 2019, 460 small businesses decided to purchase employee health insurance through Health Connector for Business, as overall enrollment in the program increased by nearly one-third. As in the Health Connector’s individual market, new participants are motivated by costs and are gravitating to plans that have premiums up to 20 percent less than other plans, despite offering similar benefits.

To backslide just a bit – a wise man once taught me the key to maximize the Ellio’s experience. Recently back from his college days at Worcester State future City Clerk Greg Lucey advised if you add additional mozzarella cheese to the frozen slab – while not exactly Highland Café pie – at three in the morning it will taste just as good as the Highland! Insert great big smiley face. First person I see as I start walking the aisles is Virginia Ruane’s daughter Janice. I adore Janice and her tall husband Rick. Janice quietly goes about her business and does so much for the children of Malden. For that we are grateful. Her husband Rick, that’s another story. A Malden guy until the 9th grade at Beebe in 1971, he took himself and his immense basketball talent to Medford High and tortured his little friends from Malden whenever he and his stacked Medford High teams played us. All is forgiven since. Rick married well and came back home. When he did get home, I scooped him up and made him part of the “Twin Towers” along with Mark wrap it up and move along. Insert smiley face.

Her columns are a must read with Maldonians eager for the next wonderful Virginia Ruane reminiscent. Janice and I chatted for a while – she mentioned that she has a picture of those basketball glory days hanging in her offi ce at the Forestdale School. We all had short shorts on and a few of us had no shirts on. Must have been quite a while ago. Insert another smiley face. On a side note, my late friend Jimmy Damiano would chide me whenever Virginia’s article would appear. He’d say, “Peter, if you could only write like Virginia Ruane you would be worth reading!” On a very recent Saturday afternoon I spied City Clerk Greg Lucey and his wife Marie leisurely walking the aisles, Marty following closely behind. The cart Greg pushed contained cans of Pastene Kitchen Ready Ground Peeled Tomatoes, ziti rigatoni, chicken cutlets and more. A sure sign that Greg and Adam would be feasting once again on another epic Sunday dinner. Luce and I agreed that opening day is a sure sign that spring is near and wondered how, back in the day, we could have gone to so many Fenway openers, many of them in 30-degree weather! We also talked about his dad (former Mayor) Ed still loving local print media, $2,300 studio apartments in Malden and the recent death of our close friend Jimmy Damiano, Marie giving Luce the (well-rehearsed) high sign to Friday, March 20 at 9 PM BRIAN MAES BAND WILDFIRE Saturday, March 21 at 9 PM FUNBUCKET With 43 CHURCH STREET Friday, March 27 The Nation's #1 U2 Tribute Experience With: Mary Beth Maes & Coolidge Park JOSHUA TREE TANGERINE Party with the Party Band!

The group is appealing the Malden Conservation Commission’s conditions for approval of the synthetic fi eld. The Friends and the Salemwood Community are also appealing what they believe is a misclassifi cation of the site. The state’s Wetlands Protection Act requires that wetland resource areas be identified and delineated and that work done to those areas follow performance standards. Although the resource area at the park was originally described as “bordering vegetated wetland,” it has since been classifi ed as “an isolated fi eld subject to fl ooding” and an “isolated vegetated wetland.” In a letter to MassDEP Northeast Regional Director Eric Worrall, the Friends and the Salemwood Community say the city is trying to circumvent the law SKATING CENTER www.Roller-World.com | 781-231-1111 ATM on site Sunday Located Adjacent to Rite Aid Pharmacy in Saugus Plaza, South Bound Route 1 MBTA Bus Route 429 FREE WI-FI - 2 WIDE SCREEN TV’S FULLY AIR CONDITIONED WINTER SKATING SCHEDULE ATTENTION! 12-8 p.m. $7.50 Monday Private Parties Tuesday School & PTO GROUPS 7:30-10:30 p.m. Adult Night 18+ only $8.50 Wednesday Private Parties Thursday Private Parties 3-11 p.m. $7.50 Friday Saturday Admission after 6 p.m. $8.50 12-11 p.m. $7.50 Admission after 6 p.m. $8.50 Skates included in price/Blades $3 Bowling Alleys, 2 snack bars, video games.

The Friends and the Salemwood Community believe the Conservation Commission should have issued an order of conditions prohibiting any work at the park until and unless the city fi les a new Notice of Intent that recognizes the naturally occurring bordering vegetated wetland and meets the performance standards that pertain to that resource. Late last month, the Conservation Commission issued three conditions for the synthetic turf fi eld, which is part of the larger Roosevelt Park Improvement Project. The Commission ordered the city to use organic infi ll for the fi eld and to perform regular inspections of the catch basins during construction. The Commission also ordered the city to post signs at the fi eld that will keep Malden in compliance with the artifi cial turf warranty. In their letter to Worrall, the Friends and the Salemwood Community argue that the Conservation Commissions conditions do not meet performance GENERAL PLAN | FROM PAGE 3 and would prevent any layoff s. Supt. Oteri outlined in his report that spending and resources for additional social, emotional and physical health support would come after “a strategic examination of current staff - ing and critical needs in this area [and] we can carve out a plan to augment existing resources in a way that is equitable across the district.” As for additional funding for professional development for teachers, the Superintendent noted that there is at present “modest funding.” He stated, “An increase in the budget for professional learning will ensure that teachers have access to current training and remain up to date in the latest, research-based practices. Access to a robust array of training opportunities has a direct impact on the students our educators serve.” College and Career Readiness will be enhanced standards for an isolated fi eld subject to fl ooding, particularly as they relate to the adverse effect on private and public water supplies and the adverse eff ect on the area’s capability to prevent ground water pollution. “The design of the artifi cial turf fi eld will increase the amount of untreated storm water being directed into the Saugus Branch Brook culvert,” they wrote. They also said the runoff will contain hazardous elements and chemicals from the artifi - cial turf, including lead, crystalline silica cadmium, fungicides, pesticides, fl ame retardant, microbiocides, fabric softener, PFAS (per- and polyfl uoroalkyl substances) and plastics. As for the conditions, the group contends the Conservation Commission’s requirement to use organic infi ll for the fi eld is misguided. “The city’s preferred infi ll, Brockfi ll, does not disclose the ingredients list. U.S. Patents for the product list many chemicals that are not organic compound,” they told Worrall. The Friends and the Salemwood Community also point out that the condition that requires signs with rules that would keep the artificial turf field in compliance with the manufacturer’s warranty reveals the commission’s primary concern is protecting the turf, not the wetland. “We implore you to issue a superseding order of conditions prohibiting the installation of an artifi cial turf fi eld,” they wrote at the end of their letter to Worrall. The fourth area of concentration planned to be addressed with new SOA funding at present is College and Career Readiness, where it is proposed to use funds to buy additional curriculum materials and use funds to increase students’ access to post-secondary planning. “We need a renewable cycle for these materials that would enhance our approach to this extremely important area,” Supt. Oteri said, adding that it would be an all-district push, with grade-appropriate support materials. “In our ever-changing economy we have to educate our students to prepare them for careers in today’s working world, on whatever path they need to get there. It may or may not involve college for our students and we acknowledge that fact.” Supt. Oteri said he would keep the School Committee members informed of the SOA timeline for submissions and that he expects plenty of discussion of detailed spending plans during the upcoming FY21 school budget process.

I think it would be a nice idea to bring them back, and Fellsmere Pond is such a lovely place. Enjoy this time of the year. It is a time fi lled with blossoming spring fl owers and warmer air that is slowly rising and so comforting. It is such a good time to By Virginia Ruane think spring is a happy time of the year for just about everyone including me. I have wonderful memories of this time of the year. It was this time of the year when my mother and I would go out shopping for our new spring hat. Hats were very fashionable at the time. My mother’s favorite store was Gordon’s. I would take her there, and I would check out the hats, but they were too conservative for me. I would go across the street to a store called Sparks. Sparks was a store that sold a great variety of women’s clothing, including hats. I found one there that was just right for me and the price was right. Today, hats are almost a thing of the past. Women no longer have to wear a hat to church. In those days, when you went to Boston on the train, you alI Virginia Ruane and her mother wearing one of her “classic spring hats” (Courtesy Photo) Start Your Weekend at the Marina Dance Party! ways wore a hat and don’t forget to wear your white gloves, especially in the spring and summer. As a young woman, I would go to Boston to look for a job. I would get all “dolled” up with my hat and gloves ready to meet a prospective employer. Now, I often wonder what the young women wear today when they go to Boston to apply for a job. A little advice to all the young girls is “Don’t wear dungarees or sneakers.” By the way, I always got the job I applied for. I think the white gloves won them over. In the old days, in early spring, my husband and I would take a ride up Route I, going toward New Hampshire and look for the budding trees and the early fl owers. It was a beautiful scene to witness. Then we would fi nd a nice restaurant at which to have dinner. A Perfect Spring Day! In Malden, we have a very special picnic area at Fellsmere Pond. Many residents had a Maypole Party, and all the children got out their spring jackets and pretty spring dresses and, of course, their Easter Baskets. The baskets were filled with small candy bars, which the children would give to the small children and adults in the crowd.

Because these hearings are an important part of the process of developing the state budget for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2021, they are held around the state each spring, and Lewis hosted the March 6 hearing in Malden. The state budget will be fi nalized later this spring. (Courtesy Photo) Oteri presents priorities for increase in state aid Students Opportunity Act. Last fall, state lawmakers passed the legislation which overhauled the funding formula for educational aid to better serve students in need of more support.

The list was developed with input gathered in forums, a public meeting and an online survey which the committee has reopened to allow more school families and residents to weigh in on how the additional funding should be deployed. The survey will be available on the Malden Public Schools website through March 15. Superintendent John Oteri presented four categories that stakeholders identified as areas that the district should target for investment.

Increasing services to support social emotional and physical health of students was also on the list. The administration plans to assess student needs and staffing for these services and develop a plan to bolster resources throughout the district. “Professional development is an ongoing concern,” said Oteri adding that the district has a relatively small budget for training for teachers and staff. Oteri said that dedicating new funds to expand professional development opportunities would keep Malden educators up to date on the best practices in their field and, at the same time, demonstrate the district’s commitment to its teachers. The district’s fourth priority is college and career readiness which would begin with a regular review of curriculum to ensure that Malden teachers and students have high-quality resources and materials aligned to state standards. The administration also plans to increase access to Naviance, an online program that helps students better understand their interests and strengths in order to plan for life after high school. The DESE also requires the administration to identify students in specific subgroups who wi l l benefit from the district’s plans for the new funding and to include targets and outcomes that will measure the district’s success. ׉ 7cassandra://bDkmiIo3z61GQAmyyYbmi5PKNPhER03FcF9y8LwyWq4+ `̰^jV4~81r׉E~THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 13, 2020 Page 9 New trash plan provides options By Barbara Taormina C ity councillors reviewed a revised plan to improve Malden’s trash collection and recycling program this week, and they think you’re going to like it. The new approach gives residents a choice between continuing to use the blue PayAs-You-Throw bags or switching to a city-issued barrel with a $75 special trash tag that can be filled with trash tied up in any bag they choose. “It’s a great compromise,” said Parking Department Director Ron Hogan. “If you don’t want to change, don’t change; keep buying the bags.” The city originally proposed eliminating the blue bags and replacing them with 64-gallon trash barrel and a 32-gallon recycling barrel that would cost residents a $10 monthly fee tacked on to their water bills. But some residents had concerns about hauling the big barrels out to the curb while others, who barely fill one blue bag a week, felt they would be overcharged under that system. Under the new plan, the city will provide all households with a 32-gallon covered trash toter and a 32-gallon covered recycling toter at no cost. Residents can use the barrels for trash in blue Pay-As-You-Throw bags, or if they purchase the tags, trash can be packed in any bags. HoOTERI | FROM PAGE 1 “We also continue to take precautions in our schools with extra cleaning and making sure hand sanitizer is available,” he added. At the recent March Malden School Committee meeting, Supt. Oteri told the members that the district’s custodial staff has been taking extra time to clean doorknobs and other touchpoints on a daily basis before school begins and also at other times during the school day. The Superintendent urged all families and staff to try and prevent the spread of respiratory diseases and illnesses, such as COVID-19 and the flu, by taking the following precautions: zWash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds zAvoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth zAvoid sharing drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, dishes, towels or other items zAvoid close contact with people who are sick, as much as possible zStay home when you are sick zCover your mouth when you cough gan said the new plan would get blue bags off the sidewalks, and the covered toters would prevent trash and recycling from blowing through neighborhoods. Households that generate more than 32 gallons of trash a week can buy a second barrel from the city at cost – and either purchase an additional $75 tag, which will have a unique number and bar code to identify where it belongs – or use it for trash in blue bags. Residents can also use their own barrels for blue-bagged trash. As part of the new program, the city will move to single-stream recycling, which means all glass, plastic and paper can go into the new covered toters. “The proposal comes with some costs,” explained Hogan. The City’s trash hauler, JRM, will charge $200,000 a year for the switch to single-stream recycling, and $50,000 a year for the additional work involved in curbside collection. The city also plans to spend $552,000 for 16,000 trash barrels, $552,000 for 16,000 recycling toters and $128,000 to have them delivered throughout the city. However, the city will also be eligible for a $300,000 Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection grant for the barrels and a $200,000 grant for the recycling toters, which brings the Also, the letter stated, families should contact the school nurse if they are unsure whether a child should attend school or stay home.

The city will pay that bill with a five-year loan or annual payments of $160,000 a year. Although some councillors raised concerns about the costs and suggested that residents pay for their barrels, Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora said this proposal will require a small increase in city spending for an essential service that affects every resident in the city. However, councillors agreed with Councillor-at-Large Stephen Winslow to review the financing after the first year. Councillors voted to schedule a public meeting to present the plan to the community and to begin crafting a new solid waste disposal ordinance. “The program is fantastic,” said Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon. “I never thought it would happen. There’s an option for everyone.” B BUONFIGLIO FUNERAL HOME BUONFIGLIO FUNERAL HOME INVITES YOU TO A FREE INFORMATION SEMINAR ON FUNERAL COSTS, CREMATION AND PRE-PLANNING Thursday, March 19, 2020 at 11 AM and 6 PM Held at Buonfiglio Funeral Home 128 Revere Street, Revere, MA 02151 R.S.V.P. by March 13, 2020 at 781-284-3376 Seating Is Limited & Refreshments Will Be Served “Providing compassionate, quality service and counseling to the families we serve before, during and after their time of need” ׉ 7cassandra://tJHzxbel4FT62hpYSStqEbbOUYR3G0NSHHKHsdvlbdw*`̰^jV4~81rƁ^jV4~81rŁ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://4V_na4KnFXo4jgQ4pICDno3n5DCK7WthFU2n77dH5yYa`)׉ 7cassandra://OtkjFAOKRmqKDVxWn392wcwF12m5PQOYsBcpRGzoN98ͣ`J׉ 7cassandra://eHtjJYnQZcS4HiRPvSLdnPfZbQlyNA_603N7EEW_D3c/%`̰׉ 7cassandra://QPCASV3nyejPKn8XpywU6YwvWrtzNu63PLxqzRxjLjše8͠^j]4~81s ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://On9243clUYpZ3aaT0EBc7MF1V8UVqF4Xbktp9r9khtAI`)׉ 7cassandra://lTkbAMjJ0AshvVGUBEThVQNZVG9o3s3eF_HjC8a08Tw͚`J׉ 7cassandra://R6pct969jE9hqihtLzfXtOZBtgBOL09XQVKJ3yOqkww,`̰׉ 7cassandra://0maWJaNXD16Sxem-_Bbj8coKyoGayMePFQp4G-Rvt6I]͙͠^j]4~81s ט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://4V_na4KnFXo4jgQ4pICDno3n5DCK7WthFU2n77dH5yYa`)׉ 7cassandra://OtkjFAOKRmqKDVxWn392wcwF12m5PQOYsBcpRGzoN98ͣ`J׉ 7cassandra://eHtjJYnQZcS4HiRPvSLdnPfZbQlyNA_603N7EEW_D3c/%`̰׉ 7cassandra://QPCASV3nyejPKn8XpywU6YwvWrtzNu63PLxqzRxjLjše8͠^j]4~81s ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://On9243clUYpZ3aaT0EBc7MF1V8UVqF4Xbktp9r9khtAI`)׉ 7cassandra://lTkbAMjJ0AshvVGUBEThVQNZVG9o3s3eF_HjC8a08Tw͚`J׉ 7cassandra://R6pct969jE9hqihtLzfXtOZBtgBOL09XQVKJ3yOqkww,`̰׉ 7cassandra://0maWJaNXD16Sxem-_Bbj8coKyoGayMePFQp4G-Rvt6I]͙͠^j]4~81s ט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://4V_na4KnFXo4jgQ4pICDno3n5DCK7WthFU2n77dH5yYa`)׉ 7cassandra://OtkjFAOKRmqKDVxWn392wcwF12m5PQOYsBcpRGzoN98ͣ`J׉ 7cassandra://eHtjJYnQZcS4HiRPvSLdnPfZbQlyNA_603N7EEW_D3c/%`̰׉ 7cassandra://QPCASV3nyejPKn8XpywU6YwvWrtzNu63PLxqzRxjLjše8͠^j]4~81s ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://On9243clUYpZ3aaT0EBc7MF1V8UVqF4Xbktp9r9khtAI`)׉ 7cassandra://lTkbAMjJ0AshvVGUBEThVQNZVG9o3s3eF_HjC8a08Tw͚`J׉ 7cassandra://R6pct969jE9hqihtLzfXtOZBtgBOL09XQVKJ3yOqkww,`̰׉ 7cassandra://0maWJaNXD16Sxem-_Bbj8coKyoGayMePFQp4G-Rvt6I]͙͠^j]4~81s נ^j]4~81sz29ׁHhttp://www.everettaluminum.comׁ ׁ Јנ^j]4~81sO9ׁHhttp://CarpenitoRealEstate.comׁ ׁ Јנ^j]4~81sށ9ׁH(mailto:missgspetsittingservice@gmail.comׁ ׁ Јנ^j]4~81s ̑9ׁHhttp://matv.org/gallery.ׁ ׁ Јנ^j^4~81s)9ׁHhttp://www.AtlasAutobody.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 13, 2020 “Carrefour/Crossroads” to be displayed in MATV Gallery C ome to the multifaceted reception for the current exhibit in the MATV Gallery, “Carrefour/ Crossroads” on Wednesday, March 18, from 6:30–8:30 p.m. This exhibition highlights photographs that offer an introspective and artful lens to people and scenes from everyday life in Haiti paired with the artist’s abstract creations. Born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, Nic Hyacinthe lives and works in the Boston area as a filmmaker, photographer and painter. Passionate about photography early on, Hyacinthe studied film production and photography at Emerson College. He draws inspiration from various sources and disciplines and creates at the intersection of culture, landscapes and mediums. “I have a lifelong passion for creative expression, artistic integrity and visual meditation,” said Hyacinthe. “My art relies on my experience as a Haitian immigrant who lived a significant portion of his life in America. My life’s converging of languages, cultures, landscapes, politics and mediums have afforded me with a vast panorama of sources for inspiration and innovation. I am gifted with the ability and opportunity to produce bold images and compelling narratives that challenge viewers to discover the unexplored and delight in the beauty of our shared experiences. It is my wish that my art adds not only charm into one’s life, but that it creates a dialogue for our potential as a collective human race.” At the March 18 reception, attendees can view the artwork, enjoy a Haitian-themed buffet (that can serve as a light supper) and take part in a discussion with the artist, who will also screen his short fi lm “Homesick,” an atmospheric meditation on life in Haiti that reveals a beauty rarely portrayed in the news. Please RSVP for the free reception on Eventbrite. (Search MATV Gallery or Nicolas Hyacinthe.) The MATV Gallery is located at MATV (soon to be UMA – Urban Media Arts) at 145 Pleasant St. in Malden.

DeLeo (D-Winthrop). “Thank you to Vice Chair Garlick and Representative Kane for their diligence and focus on this issue.” “I fully support this legislation,” said Representative Donato. “It will help each resident have access to public health services that they need.” “The House has voted unanimously to strengthen local health departments through training and resources, and to create regional synergy with other health departments,” said Representative Denise Garlick, who is Vice Chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means (D-Needham). “Public health departments in our 351 communities deal with issues seen and unseen, from water quality and effective sanitation to substance use disorders and suicide prevention. These are the concerns that affect quality of life in Massachusetts. This bill is vitally important and timely given current concerns over emergency preparedness with infectious diseases, such as EEE and COVID-19.” Specifically, the legislation seeks to strengthen local public health in three ways: • Establishes the State Action for Public Health Excellence (SAPHE) program: a competitive grant program that provides funding to public health departments to increase sharing of services across municipalities, to strengthen service delivery capabilities and to improve system accountability and data reporting. • Ensures the local public health workforce has access to training: Provides boards of health officials and staff with free educational and training opportunities four times annually in regions across the state. • Sets new statewide public health standards: The Department of Public Health will develop a set of minimum standards for foundational public health services to improve the quality of and create uniformity within the public health services of the Commonwealth. As a first step, last year the House committed to $500,000 in the Fiscal Year 2021 budget to fund new and expanded shared service programs in Metrowest, North Shore and Western Massachusetts communities. The legislation builds on the work of the Special Commission on Local and Regional Public Health, a 25-member body of public health and municipal experts established in 2016. The commission released a 2019 report identifying ways for municipalities to overcome barriers and provide quality public health services to residents in Massachusetts. The report found that of the 105 towns with fewer than 5,000 residents, 78 percent lacked fulltime staff and that more than half had no health inspector. The report also found inconsistencies in training and credentials of local health department staff members and a lack of consistent data reporting across communities. On February 27 the Senate referred the bill to its Committee on Ways and Means.

ESTIMATED $18 BILLION IN TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS (H 4506) House 150-1, approved and sent to the Senate an estimated $18 billion bond bill authorizing spending on transportation projects and infrastructure over the next ten years. Provisions include $5.6 billion for federal highway system projects, $1.75 billion for the design, construction and repair of non-federally aided roadway and bridge projects and another $1.25 billion for construction, resurfacing and improvements of bridges and approaches. The bill also increases Chapter 90 funding to cities and towns for road and bridge repairs from $200 million to $300 million. The package is a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds. The package includes earmarks for hundreds of millions of dollars for hundreds of projects in legislators’ districts across the state — many of which will never be funded. The Baker administration is required to adhere to the state’s annual bond borrowing cap and ultimately decides which projects are affordable and actually get funded. Sometimes a legislator will immediately tout the inclusion of local projects in these types pf bond bills, especially in an election year to show he or she “brought home the bacon.” But be warned that none of the projects in this package have yet been funded and most will end up never being funded because of the borrowing cap and the power of the governor's office to pick which projects actually get the green light. “The House’s transportation funding package is an important step forward in fixing the commonwealth’s transportation crisis,” said Chris Dempsey, Director of the Transportation for Massachusetts coalition. “We applaud vices, housing assistance, fuel assistance and job training, Business Solutions Unplugged for computer classes, 3MG Boston for media workshops, the YMCA for health and wellness, and Seven Mile Road Church for spiritual well-being. A study published in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment (2016) found that peer-to-peer recovery is beneficial. The Peer-to-Peer Recovery Model has proven to be very effective in helping people stay sober and continue on their recovery path. This model, which will be used at BRC, uses a participatory process that is an established decision-making process, where peer volunteers initiate, design, create, implement and evaluate BRC activities and policies. These activities are designed for and by people in recovery, are culturally relevant and also responHouse members for taking a balanced approach to addressing transportation needs and ensuring that statewide investments will improve daily commutes in every city and town. We’ve dug ourselves a big hole and this bill is an important step to help us climb out.” “The transportation bond bill was an earmarked-filled document which is being treated as one Democratic chairman noted, as “Monopoly money,” said Rep. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica), the lone opponent of the measure. “Massachusetts already has the largest per capita debt in the nation and some of the highest cost per highway mile in the nation. We need to do better.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes ESTIMATED $522 MILLION TO $600 MILLION TAX HIKE FOR TRANSPORTATION (H 4508) House 113-40, approved and sent to the Senate an estimated $522 million to $600 million tax hike package to fund improvements to the state’s transportation system. Hikes include a 5 cents-per-gallon increase in the motor vehicle gas excise tax; a 9 cents-per-gallon increase in the diesel fuel tax; an increase in the aviation fuel tax from 5 percent of the average price per gallon to 7.5 percent of the average price per gallon; elimination of the sales tax exemption on vehicle purchases for traditional rental car companies; replacing the current flat $456 minimum corporate excise tax with a nine-tiered sliding scale ranging from $456 if the corporation’s total sales are less than $1 million to $150,000 if the corporation’s sales total $1 billion; and increasing the 20 cents-pertrip flat fee to $1.20 for each non-shared Uber and Lyft ride and $2.20 for every luxury ride. The bill includes language aimed at preventing Uber and Lyft from passing those hikes directly onto riders. “We applaud the House for recognizing the importance of providing much needed transportation resources for the state,” said John Pourbaix, Executive Director of the Construction Industries of Massachusetts. “With the passage of the Transportation Revenue Bill, the House has acted in a way to better position Massachusetts to undertake the much-needed improvements in our substandard roads and bridges, our underperforming transit system, our overcrowded interchanges and choke points, and our critical local infrastructure.” “Massachusetts consistently squanders over 300 percent more than the national average for its annual highway maintenance, most dramatically in administrative costs,” said Chip Ford, executive director of Citizens for Limited Taxation. “Over the past few years the state has been raking in billions in revenue surpluses, aka over-taxation, and when the Millionaire’s Tax is approved as expected it will add two billion more a year to that. But the standard assertion is that more, more, always more is needed for transportation. Spending review, reform and cost-cutting is rare at best in Massachusetts,” he added, “but imposition of ever higher taxes is just as reliably perpetual.” “The legislation passed by the House today puts Massachusetts on the road to both a better statewide transportation system, and a more equitable approach to transportation sive to community needs. The Gavin Foundation has been providing recovery support services since 1962. Gavin’s Devine Recovery Center adheres to the Peerto-Peer Recovery Model and was established following a Substance Abuse Mental Health Service Administration grant in 2011. MOA has operated since 2016 and has built a community of approximately 100 members who are active in supporting its mission. Representatives from the Gavin Foundation and MOA will be on hand for an informational session on Monday, March 23 from 6:308:00 p.m. at the Beebe School (401 Pleasant St., Malden) for the community to learn about the peer-topeer model, what the program will involve and what resources will be offered. funding,” said Andrew Farnitano, spokesman for Raise Up Massachusetts. “Corporate taxes are an essential part of this revenue package, and we are glad the House rejected pressure from corporate lobbyists to remove the tiered corporate minimum tax from the bill. Large corporations make massive profits by using our transportation infrastructure to move their goods and customers and they must pay their share to help fund transportation improvements.” “Regressive tax schemes, like Speaker DeLeo’s tax hike to the state’s gasoline and diesel tax, hit the middle class and the working poor the hardest,” said Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance spokesman Paul Craney. “The gas tax hike will come out of the earnings of the hard-working taxpayers who rely on their vehicle to get to work, run errands and operate a business. Instead of looking at how to spend taxpayer’s money more wisely, Speaker DeLeo added an additional cost onto the backs of the state’s already very generous taxpayers.” “It has become clearer by the day that the need for more transportation revenue is real and it is immediate,” said Rep. Aaron Michlewitz, chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, during the floor debate. “Whether your constituents come from a district that is considered urban or rural or anything in between, it is undeniable that our transportation system is not meeting the needs that our citizens expect and deserve.” “I listen to the people,” said Rep. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica). “I can tell you no one is calling my office saying pass the gas tax. The opposite is true. I am hearing from families who don’t want their budgets stretched. I am hearing from soccer moms who bring their children to activities. I am hearing from seniors who live on a fixed income. Like me, they believe that Beacon Hill needs to reform spending, not increase taxes.” (A “Yes” vote is for the tax hikes. A “No” vote is against them.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes NO TAX HIKES IF MILLIONAIRE’S TAX IS APPROVED (H 4508) House 36-118, rejected an amendment that would repeal all the tax increases, except the one on Lyft and Uber, if the proposed Millionaire’s Tax ballot question is approved by Massachusetts voters in November of 2022. The tax, estimated to raise up to $2 billion per year, would allow a graduated income tax in Massachusetts and impose an additional 4 percent income tax, in addition to the current flat 5.1 percent tax, on taxpayers’ earnings of more than $1 million. Language in the amendment requires that “subject to appropriation” the revenue will go to fund quality public education, affordable public colleges and universities and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation. “Speaker DeLeo has said repeatedly that the transportation finance bill is a ‘bridge’ to the Millionaire’s Tax, which is projected to generate $2 billion in new revenues for education and transportation,” said Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading), the sponsor of the amendment. “If the money from the ballot question is really going to be spent on transportation, then I think it’s only fair the tax increases contained in this bill be sunset once those new revenues start coming in.” Mystic Valley Elder Services’ Spring for Independence theater event – April 4 M ystic Valley Elder Services’ Spring for Independence theater event for 2020 will be a special performance of tribute band The Cast of Beatlemania on Saturday, April 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the Greater Boston Stage Company in Stoneham.

They noted the two are separate proposals and noted the Millionaire’s Tax is not even guaranteed to be on the 2022 ballot. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato No Rep. Steven Ultrino No STUDY/DELAY TAX HIKES (H 4508) House 35-119, rejected an amendment that would indefinitely delay the implementation of the tax hikes until Gov. Charlie Baker’s Office of Administration and Finance and the Department of Revenue furnish a study of the taxes’ impact on the state’s economy and on cities and towns. The study would include an analysis of the impact on taxpayers of varying income levels, current practices of other states and any anticipated changes in employment and ancillary economic activity resulting from the tax increases. “This study language is identical to what the Democratic leadership has used many times in the past to block Republican-sponsored amendments during floor debate,” said Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading), the amendment’s sponsor. “I say what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Collectively, these tax increases will cost the state’s taxpayers and employers more than $600 million, which is reason enough to conduct a study of the long-term implications of these tax proposals before they’re implemented.” Opponents of the study said it is craftily worded to simply kill the tax hikes. They noted the study is assigned to the Baker administration which is opposed to many of these tax hikes and is unlikely to ever conduct the study. (A “Yes” vote is for the study. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul DonatoNo Rep. Steven Ultrino No STRIKE THE INCREASE IN MINIMUM CORPORATION TAX (H 4508) House 35-119, rejected an amendment that would strike a section of the bill that would replace the current flat $456 minimum corporate excise tax with a nine-tiered sliding scale ranging from $456 if the corporation’s total sales are less than $1 million to $150,000 if the corporation’s sales total $1 billion. “The proposed changes to the corporate minimum excise tax would put Massachusetts employers at a competitive disadvantage, hurt job growth and make it even more difficult to attract new businesses to the state,” said the amendment’s sponsor Rep. Liz Poirier (R-North Attleboro). “The advocates who are pushing for this new tax structure haven’t taken into consideration online retail sales tax collections, combined reporting and other major business tax policy changes that have been implemented over the last decade.” Supporters of the new tiering system said this sliding scale protects small businesses but also makes sure that large companies pay their share into the state’s transportation system. (The roll call was on striking the increase. Therefore a “Yes” vote is AGAINST the increase in the current $456 minimum corporate tax. A “No” vote is FOR the increase.) Rep.

Steven Ultrino No EXEMPT CITIES AND TOWNS FROM GAS TAX (H 4508) House 36-118, rejected an amendment that would exempt cities and towns’ vehicle fuel purchases from the state’s gas tax. Some state agencies are currently either exempt from the gas tax or receive a rebate, including regional transportation authorities, the MBTA, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority and Massport. “Municipal budgets are already under an enormous strain, and this exemption would help to ease the financial burden on cities and towns by freeing up resources they can allocate to support essential municipal services,” said Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading), the amendment’s sponsor. Opponents of the exemption said it would result in a loss of tax revenue and weakens the bill. They noted that cities and towns will be benefiting from all the tax hikes, including the gas tax. They argued Chapter 90 funds for maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges will also increase by 50 percent. (A “Yes” vote is for the exemption. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato No Rep. Steven Ultrino No HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of March 2-6, the House met for a total of 19 hours and 39 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 24 minutes. MON.

Charlie Baker declared a state of emergency in Massachusetts. Wednesday’s alert hit closer to home. “With an increase of Coronavirus cases recently reported state-wide combined with members being a part of a susceptible age group, and out of an abundance of caution, our Senior Center is ceasing all activities for its members until further notice,” reads the post. Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy asked what type of outreach the city has been doing to ensure older residents, particularly those who live in senior housing, have the information they need to protect themselves from the virus. Webb said flyers are being handing out, and signs with information about the virus are being posted in senior housing facilities. “Most seniors are taking the right track with social distancing and staying home,” added Webb. Cronin said that as the director of emergency management, it’s his responsibility to keep things running. “My job is to keep the community safe and healthy by maintaining primary services, such as police, fire, the DPW, just to name a few,” he said. “These involve the basic services one would expect to receive even in the face of a crisis.” Cronin said that each mission-critical department in the city has a line of succession that guarantees someone will always be in charge. “The purpose is to ensure the essential functions of city government continue on unhindered,” he said. Cronin also said department heads with look at their department and determine if staff can and should work from home. Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora asked what would happen if the virus infected the fire station. Cronin said the key part of that potential scenario is prevention. “They prepare themselves before they go into something with that possibility in mind,” he said. Cronin said if the virus took hold in the police station, the department would have to limit their services. “There are certain calls we wouldn’t respond to,” he said. “Of course, we would always respond to crime calls and to anyone who needed help.” With the virus moving so quickly, the Emergency Management Team is continually reviewing different management approaches. We can’t predict the path of COVID-19 here in Malden, but we have trained for it, and we are prepared for it,” said Cronin.

A trio of former Golden Tornadoes baseball standouts have gotten off to strong starts on the baseball diamond, including a southpaw hurler and a slugging third baseman, each of whom got off to great starts recently. First-year lefty Billy Stickney, a two-time All-Conference AllStar for MHS the past two seasons and a 2019 MHS graduate, made his collegiate debut when he got the opening day nod on the mound for Northern Essex Community College (NECC) on Saturday at Haverhill’s Trinity Stadium. Stickney responded with three scoreless innings and two strikeouts, allowing just one hit in his outing against University of Connecticut-Avery Point. He did Andrew Caulfield not get a decision as UConn-Avery Point had a rally in the later innings with Stickney out of the game, and took the win. “It was a good opening day for Billy [Stickney],” said NECC head coach Jeff Mejia, who has taken three NECC teams to the NJCAA World Series in the past several years. “He filled up the strike zone and challenged hitters.” 2020 Team Malden Neighborhood Basketball League (MNBL) Games behind Celtics - c* Sonics - c Hawks - c Bullets - c Kings Lakers Pistons Sixers W L 13 11 10 6 5 4 4 3 1 3 4 8 9 10 10 11 C = Playoff Bound *Clinched 1st Week 10 Saturday, March 7 at Ferryway Game 1 – Kings 55, Bullets 40 Prior to the game starting, the Kings finally unveiled their 2019 Championship Banner. And then they came out and took care of business against a team/coach they struggled against year after year. It was Jason Crocker leading the way to this much coach anticipated victory, by scoring a game-high 25, and Sammy Solorzano added 15, which was the margin of victory. The Bullets Cameron Kilpatrick (15) and Jason Mei (12) were the top two for the boys in blue as they ended their regular season on a two-game losing streak and have the luck of facing the Top seeded Celtics this Saturday in game one of the playoffs – “anything can happen.” Just remember that! Game 2 – Hawks 2, Lakers 0 (forfeit) Sadly, the Purple & Gold’s season came to an end with their third forfeit of the year. A very tough season for a promising team with talent – they just couldn’t keep the bodies on the court. The Hawks on the other hand, who already locked up a playoff berth two weeks ago, get to rest their players and prepare for next week’s Madness Weekend – finishing in third place overall and playing the second-place Sonics, who they swept this year, 2-0. Mental advantage goes to the Hawks…but that’s why it’s the Madness; expect the unexpected at all times.

Billy Stickney Stickney had a great career at Malden High School the past two seasons, compiled an 8-7 record overall with nearly 200 strikeouts in two full seasons on the mound, over 147 innings. This past season, he was named to the Northeastern Conference (NEC) All-Conference Team for the second consecutive season after going 4-3 overChuck Andre all on the mound and leading the NEC in strikeouts (93 in 68 innings pitched) and finishing with a 1.27 earned run average. Stickney also had a breakout season at the plate for Malden last spring, finishing in the top 10 in the NEC with a .341 average with 14 RBIs and five doubles. Joining Stickney on the NECC roster is another former MHS ~ Malden Neighborhood Basketball League ~ standout, 2016 grad Ronnie Luke. Luke, also a lefty, led the Knights in every pitching category in the 2019 season (6-0 record, 56 Ks, 44.1 IP, 3.86 ERA) and will return as the staff ace this season. Down the Mass.

I would like to get my aff airs in order but could use some help. Almost 75 Dear Almost, All adults – especially seniors – should have at least four essential legal documents to protect yourself and your family. These documents will make sure your wishes regarding your estate are legal and clear and will help minimize any confl icts and confusion with your family and your health care providers if you become seriously ill or when you die. Here are the key documents you need, along with some tips to help you create them. Will: This document lets you spell out your wishes of how you’d like your property and assets distributed after you die, whether it’s to family, friends or a charity. It also allows you to designate an executor to ensure your wishes are carried out and allows you to name guardians if you have dependent children. In addition to a will, if you own real estate or have considerable assets, another option you may want to consider is a “revocable living trust.” This functions like a will but allows your estate to avoid the time and expense of probate (the public legal process that examines your estate after you die) and helps ensure your estate’s privacy. Durable Power of Attorney: This allows you to designate someone you trust to handle your fi nancial matters if you become incapacitated. Advanced Health Care Directive: This includes two documents that spell out your wishes regarding your end-of-life medical treatment. The two documents are a “living will” which tells your doctor what kind of care you want to receive if you become incapacitated, and a “health care power of attorney” (or health care proxy), which names a person you authorize to make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable. You should also consider making a do-not-resuscitate order (DNR) as part of your advance directive, since advanced directives do little to protect you from unwanted emergency care like CPR. To create a DNR, ask your doctor to fi ll out a state appropriate form and sign it. Do-It-Yourself If you have a simple estate and an uncomplicated family situation, there are do-it-yourself resources that can help you create all these documents for very little money. Some options to consider include Quicken WillMaker & Trust 2020 software (available at Nolo.com) that costs $90 and works with Windows and Macs and is valid in every state except Louisiana. And LegalZoom.com, which off ers an estate plan with professional legal guidance with an independent attorney for $179. Get Help If, however, you want or need assistance or if you have a complicated fi nancial situation, blended family or have considerable assets, you should hire an attorney. An experienced lawyer can make sure you cover all your bases – especially when writing a will or living trust – which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after you’re gone. Costs will vary depending on where you reside, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $500 and $2,000 for a basic estate plan that includes a will, power of attorney and advance directive. If you want your estate plan to include a living trust, that can run anywhere between $1,500 and $5,000. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org) and the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (NAEPC.org) are two good resources that have directories on their websites to help you fi nd someone in your area. If money is tight, check with your state’s bar association (see www.FindLegalHelp.org) to fi nd low-cost legal help in your area. Or call the Eldercare Locater at 800-677-1116 for a referral.

Kevin Larson has been on the injured reserve list for a while now. But his gift of gab remains intact.

He worked for legendary Edgeworth prankster (and occasional curmudgeon) Angelo Nardone. Lilian (Nardone) Fitzgerald may know him. On day one he reported for duty at the City Yards when they were located on Green Street. Angelo says to young Kevin, “Aren’t you the altar boy from Saint Peter’s Church and you live on Julia Street?” A confused Kevin replied, “Yes.” Angelo continued, “Good, report to South Broadway Park” (for the uninformed, South Broadway Park was a hundred miles away for us Edgeworth kids).

Louie Yanakopoulos was in a long line, but when we spotted each other we had to give each other a great big manly hug of friendship, a fi rm handshake and a loud “How ya doing?!” Seems his cousin Jimmy (Yanakopoulos) passed away unexpectedly just recently. Jimmy was a Malden High School Class of 1972 graduate and played for Bob Rotondi on the Knights in the Malden Babe Ruth League. He retired two years ago after 40 years at HP Hood. Jimmy, I was told, was also a big baseball fan dispensing fatherly baseball advice to his son Paul, who played for the Malden Chiefs and UMass. The family wanted to keep his passing private so there was no announcement in any of the local papers. Louie felt that a mention in my column would help friends and family remember Jimmy and the good times. From the Yanakopoulos family: “Jim Y– The Family Guy: It’s common in this lifetime to hear ‘my father was the best,’ but those people never met my dad – a guy who truly outshined the rest. Your talents: creativity, intellect, wit – patience, understanding, fashion-sense, and grit. Every single quality and value that you had, makes it clear as crystal that YOU were the best dad. There’s no one on this planet who loved his family more. Your selfl essness, humility, and courage we adored. When I think back on my childhood, and I know my siblings feel the same, we always had the biggest fan and greatest coach at any game and when we had school projects, one thing was for sure – our teachers couldn’t wait to see what Jim Y had in store. He took away our fears, solved our problems, gave advice – Dr. Bob tastes just like Dr. Pepper – don’t pick the brand names, go by price! Dad taught us to respect the rules – the big laws and the small, unless those rules said anything about ‘no playing ball’ (those rules did not apply). Every day with dad was special, no matter where we went, fishing, bowling, Nana’s house – every minute was well spent. And as we grew, we realized, you weren’t just the best dad, you were also a stellar husband, son, brother, and granddad. Your love for mom was evident; you had that special touch. Bonded by a love of Seinfeld and a marriage built on trust. The time you spent with Copeland was something we all loved to see. Nothing was more fun than learning new things from GP. And even in life’s struggles, you had a rare and unshaken grace. A perseverance for your family that cannot be replaced. I’ll miss your sense of humor; I’ll miss our post-work chats. I’ll miss watching sports together and yelling at the refs. One thing that is for certain; losing you will be our greatest test. But we’ll hold you in our hearts and smile knowing: ‘OUR father truly was THE BEST.’” “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end...” So great to hear the announcement from Mr. Malden Baseball himself Bob Rotondi that Greg (Lucey) had been named the newest Commissioner of the Malden Babe Ruth League! Greg replaces John Murphy, who enjoys playing golf in Florida, we hear, seven months a year these days. Greg himself is a graduate of the program, playing for Joe D’s (DeVincentis) Barons. Mainly a ceremonial position, Greg becomes the 10th B.R.L. Commissioner/President. Fifty years ago, in 1970, Luces’ father, former Mayor Ed Lucey, served as the Big Cheese. Bob says that this year the commissioner will have an additional duty, as Malden is host city to the 2020 “14-year-old State Tournament,” to be held in July. Congrats, Greg! Well deserved!!
