Perez has amassed student support in the hundreds in the form of signatures in the school and around the community. In a Google Slides presentation presented by Perez at a recent School Committee meeting, she and her collaborator, another MHS student, Leticia Carvalho, they stated that “the students in these programs need a higher level of academic support, as many of them are under-credited and overaged.” In addition to this, many of the students in these programs have financial, cognitive and emotional needs/challenges. After Perez’s presentation, Spadafora told her School Committee colleagues “it really spoke to me as my own son is in the Malden High students, from left: Leticia Carvalho and Benjamin Perez collected signatures backing a petition requesting a return of a guidance counselor position for alternative learning. The position was included in the Fiscal Year 2025 school budget by the Malden School Committee and approved by the Malden City Council. (Courtesy Malden Blue and Gold/Aiden Luciano) RISE program.” She said she believes every student should have access to someone who can guide them. Spadafora said that after hearing the story and statement from Perez, she expects the administration will support the need for a guidance counselor and fill the position soon. That position was not funded in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 school budget that just ended on June 30, but it is included in the recently passed FY25 Malden Public Schools budget and is expected to be in place for the start of the 2024-25 school year, according to Malden Public Schools staff. www.810bargrille.com Maldonian named to Dean’s List at University of New England M eghan Pothier, of Malden, has been named to the Dean’s List for the 2024 spring semester at the University of New England.

Having been enacted by both the House and Senate, the bill was signed into law by Governor Maura Healey on June 20, 2024. “With the passage of this bill, the Legislature is taking decisive action to support survivors of abuse,” said Senator Lewis. “Not only are we finally banning image-based sexual abuse, including through deepfake AI images, but we are also explicitly labeling coercive control as abuse, expanding the statute of limitations on certain domestic violence offenses, and creating an educational program to support minors who engage in sexting. I hope that these efforts will serve to support survivors and hold abusers accountable.” “The passage of this monumental legislation marks a groundbreaking victory for survivors of abuse,” said Representative Donato. “This legislation empowers survivors and provides legal recourse Lawrence A.

The enhanced protections to survivors included in this bill will show them that the Legislature supports and stands by them. Thank you to my colleagues and the Malden delegation for their efforts and support of this legislation.” “I was proud to join the full legislature to enact An Act to prevent abuse and exploitation,” said Representative Lipper-Garabedian. “This comprehensive bill is critical in supporting survivors and Celebrating Our 52nd Year Dan - 1972 Happy July 4th!

Throughout my career, I have worked to ensure state laws are attuned to technological developments, including more than a decade ago when I worked as an attorney in private practice counseling states about the need for statutory updates to address teen sexting. This bill takes critical steps to protect victims of revenge porn and survivors of coercive control and to educate minors about the long-term dangers of certain digital behavior.” To address the nonconsensual distribution of explicit images by adults, the bill criminalizes image-based sexual abuse and empowers victims to petition the court for a harassment prevention order against a person who has violated the new statute. The legislation also bans the distribution of sexually explicit “deepfakes,” responding to the growing trend of individuals using artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital imaging software to realistically depict a person’s face onto an unclothed body, making it challenging or impossible for viewers to determine what is reality. Under current law, minors who possess, purchase or share explicit photos of themselves or other minors are charged with violating child pornography laws and are required to register as sex offenders. This legislation allows Kate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative the Commonwealth’s courts to instead divert minors to an educational program established by the Attorney General to teach minors about the serious consequences and life-altering impacts caused by engaging in this behavior – except in extreme cases. The bill also adds “coercive control” to the definition of abuse. Coercive control is a nonphysical form of abuse that includes a pattern of behavior intended to threaten, intimidate, harass, isolate, control, coerce or compel compliance of a family or household member in a manner that causes the targeted individual to fear physical harm or to have a reduced sense of physical safety or autonomy. Examples of coercive control include threatening to share explicit images, regulating or monitoring a family or household member’s communications and access to services and isolating a family or household member from friends or relatives. Lastly, this legislation extends the statute of limitations for assault and battery on a family or household member or against someone with an active protective order from six years to 15 years. This change brings the statute of limitations for these domestic violence offenses in line with the statute of limitations for the crimes of rape, assault with intent to commit rape, and sex trafficking. ׉ 7cassandra://e_OZwhnzMLopDZMs7FiaSJBcJrOX1lsdLjjFdBKXdvo-`̰f2&2F2:׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 3, 2024 Page 5 ~ Malden Public Library Children’s Events ~ Spanish-English Storytelling "Song of the Chirimia" Wednesday, July 10, 6:30 p.m.: Presented in both English and Spanish, this beautiful Guatemalan folktale tells the story of the “chirimia,” whose music is sweeter even than that of the birds.

They were co-founders of Charlestown. On February 10, 1634, both of them signed the order to create a Board of Selectmen of Charlestown. Richard Sprague (1604–1668) took the Freeman's Oath in 1631. In 1638, he became a member of the Honorable Artillery Company. In 1652, he was promoted to first sergeant, in 1659 to ensign, and in 1665 to lieutenant. Later, he became the captain of the town train band. For several years, he was a Charlestown selectman. In 1644 and 1659–66, he represented Charlestown in the General Court. In 1639, the General Court granted Richard Sprague one hundred acres of land for “having borne difficulties in the beginning.” Besides land, Richard Sprague received grants and purchased thirteen lots of real estate, which included a wharf, a warehouse, investments in vessels, etc. He was captain of the Pink Consent and several other vessels, and he participated in trade with Barbados. Richard married Mary Sharp (1608–1672) in 1630. They had no children. When Richard Sprague died in 1668, his estate was valued at over 2,357 pounds. Apart from leaving property to his widow, he left to his brother William of Hingham his sword and to his nephew Richard Sprague (1627–1703) his wharf and warehouses with land. He also left to Harvard College 400 pounds, 31 sheep, and 30 lambs, and to the First Church of Charlestown, 30 pounds. In 1634, the youngest brother, William Sprague (1609–1675), married Millicent/Millesaint Eames (1615–1694/95), a daughter of Anthony Eames, who had served Hingham as first militia captain, a selectman, and Deputy in the General Court. In 1636, William Sprague moved from Charlestown to Hingham. He traveled there in a boat, landing on the east side of the Bare Cove (future Hingham), on a tract afterward granted to him by the town.His house lot on Union St. over the river was “considered to be the pleasantest one in the town and was situated about two miles north of the Patent Line which formerly divided the Mass Bay Colony Old Ship Meeting House, Hingham, MA, 17th century 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 Sprague Family Plot memorial from the Plymouth Colony.” Many parcels of land were granted to him from 1636 to 1647. These gifts showed the esteem in which he was held by his fellow townsmen. In 1645, William Sprague was one of seven men chosen to order the prudential affairs of the town. In 1649, “William Sprague, a godly Christian but not an ordained minister, did preach the word” to residents. In 1662, he was disbursing officer of the Hingham, as well as a constable and fence-viewer. William Sprague and his wife had eleven children. During the bi-centennial celebration of the arrival of Winthrop at Charlestown, the Hon. Edward Everett said: “Ralph, Richard and William Sprague were the founders of the settlement in this place, and were persons of substance and enterprise, excellent citizens, generous public benefactors, and the head of a very large and respectable family of descendants.” Ralph Sprague’s eldest son, John Sprague (1624–1692), emigrated at the age of 5 with his parents. In 1650, John Sprague Order creating a board of selectmen, Boston, 1634 (Richard and William Sprague among the signatories) succeeded his father in his homestead, and was engaged in shipping and foreign trade with his Uncle Richard. He married in Malden on May 2, 1651, to Lydia Goffe, daughter of Edward Goffe and Joyce Frost. Like John, she too had been born in England, and traveled to New England with her parents in 1635. John and Lydia had ten children. They lived at Pound Farm, Malden (now Melrose). Their house stood near Barrett's Mound on the southerly side of Maple Street and some of the early town meetings were held there. In 1652, John Sprague bought the Ell Pond farm from his brothers Richard and Samuel. He owned many parcels of real estate, including four acres near the top of Bunker Hill. On May 18, 1653, John took the Freeman’s oath. In 1654, John joined the Malden Militia as an Ensign. In 1664, he was promoted to Lieutenant.

The bill would make systemic changes to the state’s clean energy infrastructure that will help the state achieve its net zero emissions by 2050 goals, expand electric vehicle (EV) use and infrastructure, modernize the “bottle bill” to include more containers, and protect residents and ratepayers. The bill passed with a bipartisan vote of 38-2. This climate bill will enable Massachusetts to more quickly develop infrastructure essential for the fi ght against climate change, including new solar, wind, and storage facilities. It will also enhance the electric grid to support getting clean energy to residents effi ciently and in the needed capacities to power homes, businesses, and vehicles. Enhancements to the clean energy grid will be paired with measures to keep costs down The bill takes comprehensive action to address the climate crisis, including: • Consolidating large clean energy projects that require state, regional, and local permits into a single permit that must be decided upon within 15 months. Small projects with multiple local permits will also be consolidated into a single permit and must be decided upon within one year. • Establishing the Offi ce of EnJason Lewis State Senator for ratepayers across the state. “Massachusetts is a national and global leader in combating climate change and promoting clean, renewable energy like solar and off shore wind,” said State Senator Jason Lewis. “This robust legislation expands upon previous legislative eff orts in order to accelerate the building of clean energy infrastructure, more rapidly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, and help protect ratepayers.” vironmental Justice and Equity (EJE), the Offi ce of Public Participation at the Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB), and the Division of Siting and Permitting at the Department of Energy Resources (DSPDER). Each offi ce would be charged with engaging with communities and applicants in their respective areas to ensure a robust, thorough and community-centered review of all projects. • Protecting ratepayers from bearing the cost of new construction by requiring the EFSB to fi rst consider enhancing current technologies before looking to new construction. An online clean energy infrastructure dashboard would also be created to promote public accountability in real time. • Lowering utility rates for consumers by directing utility providers to off er lower rates to eligible consumers and providing more fl exibility to negotiate the lengths of basic service contracts with electricity providers to reduce cost spikes. • Expanding the “Massachusetts Offers Rebates for Electric Vehicles” program through 2027, which gives residents $3,500-$6,000 for the purchase of new or used electric vehicles. It would allow residents who own parcels within condominiums, homeowner associations, and historic districts to install EV chargers, and authorize condo boards to install EV chargers on community parcels. • Centralizing the deployment of resources with the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Coordinating Council (EVICC), and directing DPU to make it easier to install pole-mounted chargers that often are used in parking spots and on streets. • Making it easier for cities and towns to procure electric school buses and EV charging equipment for their municipalities. • Expanding the mission of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) to include carbon removal, embodied carbon reduction, and nuclear power. MassCEC would also be directed to promote carbon removal and embodied carbon activities, and study opportunities for future carbon removal. • Updating Massport’s enabling statute to prioritize reductions in greenhouse gas emissions alongside the promotion of commerce and growth. • Shifting the gas system from automatically replacing leakprone pipes to instead considering more targeted repairs, or decommissioning the line altogether if a more climate-friendly LEGISLATION | SEE PAGE 10 ׉ 7cassandra://1E17YmquKBTmZH2gYrKYwDyePqawKvWsT2Bc78p1K2o+Q`̰f2&2F2:f2&2F2: PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://e_o2lBIjZch6ZQtbbFR3h42uljsAYrrR0u3Rt-DQ9qI`)׉ 7cassandra://hryTvoRu_hE9WdRuDwpS11f0eCL7mOkilUM3CbCWuAE͙g`J׉ 7cassandra://cSspOfiE9hw78_cq3GL3E0frKFTYzV5JJiAGFoJaTK4)`̰f2+2F2:ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://ydS2Cx8R55kgFFk4u3Sph6KX88tSz_J9ThXtZ2NxyG06`)׉ 7cassandra://8BSd3zPIfUZD69TTLzUz2J6IkwNeFReNJtthKbjH3z4͎`J׉ 7cassandra://EBpHv_Y90TTc36cNC3trutecuC037J88jFV56ZZz1Ek)`̰f2+2F2:נf2,2F2:# 5с9ׁH!http://charity.pledgeit.org/f/rOBׁ ׁ Јנf2,2F2:"Y8̸9ׁHmailto:info@forestdalepark.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 3, 2024 APPRECIATION | FROM PAGE 1 about four generations together – he was a living bridge that connected so much about what Malden means from the past to the present. Now he has left us, passing away on Friday surrounded by family and friends, at 86. “Butch” Gennetti was like many of those who were at retirement age or close to it, contemplating the fast-approaching period of their lives where they did not have to wake up and face another day on the job. “What do I do now?” That is what many say when the work-free life draws near. For Butch, it was an easy call. A cop for nearly 40 years with the Malden Police Department before his retirement from active duty, a cop he remained, accepting then Mayor Richard Howard’s appointment as Malden Police Commissioner in 2010 and continuing in that post, reporting to Mayor Gary Christenson from 2012 until his sad passing this past Friday, June 28. By the way, Butch was 86 years young on the day he left us. But yes, he was still a Malden cop, actually the city’s “top cop” as Police Commissioner. Do you think Butch took that post seriously? Did he consider it an important responsibility in his life? “I do not think [Gennetti] missed a single weekly meeting I held with Police Chief [Glenn] Cronin or Chief [Kevin] Molis before him in the 13 years I’ve served as Mayor,” Malden Mayor Gary Christenson recalled Saturday afternoon while taking in a Malden Youth Baseball championship game at Devir Park’s Bruce Field. “He [Gennetti] was at this week’s meeting on Tuesday, just a few days before he passed,” Mayor Christenson shared. “He really was that passionate and committed to the men and women of the Malden Police Department and our community, right up to his fi nal days.” Along with being “A cop for life in Malden,” Butch also was forever a family man, friend, mentor, volunteer and Malden community leader. Another rite of passage from being in the working world and then on to retirement is the socalled “Bucket List,” a compiled “to-do list” of all that someone wants to experience and a task to complete before meeting their Maker. People that knew Butch Gennetti the best probably would concur on this one: Butch didn’t even have a “Bucket List.” Why not? Because was living all of the stuff he would write on said list, every day! He loved being a Malden cop so much that he never stopped being a cop, even to age 86!

In recent years he even started another new organization, Club Italia, which operated with a club building and small function hall on Maplewood Street on Malden’s East Side. He loved sports and stayed active in the ones he loved the most for most of his life – slow-pitch softball, golf and bocce. Butch helped start the popular Over40 Men’s Softball League, which rolled it out for decades at Callahan Park on Pearl Street on weeknights, and weekends at the former slow-pitch softball fi elds at Pine Banks. He was one of the founders of the bocce sport at the IACC, which has become all the rage in Malden, a lifelong sport in which guys and gals, well, even in their mid-80s can still participate. Politics? Butch could talk politics at every level – local, state, national, international – from past and present, about what happened in the past hour! – with anyone that cared to partake. He ran and won a seat on the Malden School Committee – four times, serving as chairman twice, and could probably have been a City Councillor for life if he had found the time, like his dear friend Paul LEGISLATION | FROM PAGE 9 alternative exists.

Butch was the youngest of 10 children of fi rst-generation Italian immigrants. Butch had fi ve children of his own, with his former wife “Peggy”: daughters Lisa, Dina, Carla and Maria along with his son and namesake, Sal. Sal, a Malden High grad like Class of ’55 Butch, followed his dad’s footsteps and is now a Malden PD veteran who was decorated for valor a few years back for saving lives at a fi re scene. Butch loved Malden and Malden loved him. He was most assuredly one of the record-holders in city history at returning waves from passing motorists and acknowledging the friendly horn beeps while he was on one of his thousands of fi tness walks on diff erent routes of extended lengths all over the community. Butch was a pillar of life wherever he was involved in his community in many ways, and it is not enough to say he will be missed, not enough to say he was someone who could not be replaced. Salvatore “Butch” Gennetti is just someone we were so lucky to have in our community for what it is now the ninth decade.

If you’re caring for a senior loved one, you may find your family sacrificing a summer vacation due to concerns over leaving your loved one alone. At Forestdale Park, we help families by offering a shortterm or trial stay option during vacations, business travel, or when caregivers simply need a break. We are here to care for your loved one while you take time to recharge, offering flexible, no-minimum shortterm stay programs in both our Assisted Living and Compass Memory Support Neighborhoods. 3 Reasons Why Families Turn to a Short-Term or Trial Stay at Forestdale Park: 1. Give primary caregivers a break: Caring for older loved ones can take a toll on one’s emotional and physical health. Leave your worries behind as you travel for business or vacation or simply take some well-deserved rest. You can rely on us to provide excellent care so that you can return with renewed energy. 2. Transition after a hospitalization or rehab stay: When reimbursement constraints determine when an older adult is discharged from the hospital or rehab, they may not be ready to return home yet. Many families take advantage of our respite stay program to provide their loved one with additional support and monitoring to help them fully recover in a secure, nurturing environment before returning home. 3. Try out the experience of Assisted Living: Our trial stay program helps families decide if Forestdale Park is the right fit for their loved one.

At Forestdale Park, residents enjoy the privacy and independence of their own apartment home nestled within a vibrant, supportive and friendly community. Short-term or trial stay residents have access to the same amenities as our traditional residents, including a fully furnished apartment, personalized care and services, three restaurant-style meals each day, and enriching learning, arts and fitness programs with lots of social opportunities. The best part - there is NO MINIMUM length required! We are here to care for your loved one for as long or as short as you need.

Kelleigh also serves as a member of a resident steering committee, convened by MyRWA, that has helped to guide the revitalization of 14 acres of open space next to her home in the Little Mystic Channel area of Charlestown. Both Kelleigh and Mary go out of their way each and every day to ensure CharlesNewtown residents are informed of these improvement efforts, that space is made available for public meetings, and that issues in need of address are raised, such as ongoing structural issues with the harborwalk outside their front doors. The CharlesNewtown board and property management have also agreed to help maintain a revamped plaza next to the apartments that will break ground this summer. Thalia Patino Molano is a recent graduate of Everett High School bound for BU in the fall.

Auditions are scheduled for July 8, 9 and 11; with callbacks on July 13. The Story: Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them into demons. It’s all up to Ash (a housewares employee turned demon-killing hero) and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons tell bad jokes … and all to music. The songs in the show are completely off the wall, with titles like “All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons” and “What the F**k was That?” and have had the audience rolling in their seats and screaming for more and more blood. You don’t need to be a fan of Evil Dead to love this show. You don’t need to be a fan of horror to love this show. You don’t even need to be a fan of musicals to love this show. This is a pure comedy start to finish. It has fun with the horror genre, and in doing so appeals to a wider audience than you could ever imagine. The director is Jason HairWynn, who directed previous Theatre Company of Saugus productions of “Little Shop of Horrors” and “Nevermore.” The music director is Shane Stetcher, with choreography by Jason Hair-Wynn and Jill Tokac and fight choreography by Amanda O’Donnell. The stage manager is Ally Lewis. Performances of “Evil Dead the Musical” are on October 1112-13 and 18-19-20, 2024. Rehearsals are planned for Sunday afternoons and on Monday and Wednesday evenings, with the possibility of adding more based on actor availability. For the audition, please prepare a song from the show for a character you are most interested in, or sing a song in the style of the show. All songs, sheet music, and sides are linked on the theatre’s website. Sign up for an audition slot on one of these dates: • Monday, July 8 – 7-10 p.m. • Tuesday, July 9 – 7-10 p.m. • Thursday, July 11 – 7-10 p.m. To sign up for an audition slot, to see the role descriptions and to view the audition sides, music and other information, please visit the Auditions page on the Theatre Company of Saugus website: TCSaugus.org/auditions/ Callbacks will be on Saturday, July 13, starting at 1:00 p.m. (Plan for a long afternoon.) Callbacks will consist of singing, acting, movement and possible stage combat. You will be learning a short combination from the show. This dance is not very complicated, and you do not have to be a strong dancer to be in this show. The main focus is that you can commit to this hilarious choreography and show the character as a “deadite,” as well as retain choreography quickly. Performances, auditions and rehearsals of “Evil Dead the Musical” will be at the Theatre Company of Saugus home at the American Legion Post 210 at 44 Taylor St. in Saugus, Mass. The upstairs performance space is not wheelchair accessible.

Lewis celebrates passage of clean energy and climate action legislation S tate Senator Jason Lewis joined his colleagues in the Massachusetts Senate to pass comprehensive climate legislation to meet the climate crisis head-on. The bill – An Act upgrading the grid and protecting ratepayers – would make systemic changes to the state’s clean energy infrastructure to help the state achieve its net-zero emissions by 2050 goals, expand electric vehicle (EV) use and infrastructure, modernize the “bottle bill” to include more containers and protect residents and ratepayers. The bill passed with a bipartisan vote of 38-2. The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for further consideration. This climate bill will enable Massachusetts to more quickly develop infrastructure essential for the fight against climate change, including new solar, wind and storage facilities. It will also enhance the electric grid to support getting clean energy to residents efficiently and in the needed capacities to power homes, businesses and vehicles. Enhancements to the clean energy grid will be paired with measures to keep costs down for ratepayers across the state. “Massachusetts is a national and global leader in combating climate change and promoting clean, renewable energy like solar and offshore wind,” said Senator Lewis. “This robust legislation expands upon previous legislative efforts in order to accelerate the building of clean energy infrastructure, more rapidly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, and help protect ratepayers.” The bill takes comprehensive action to address the climate crisis, including: • Consolidating large clean energy projects that require state, regional and local permits into a single permit that must be decided upon within 15 months. Small projects with multiple local permits will also be consolidated into a single permit and must be decided upon within one year. • Establishing the Office of Environmental Justice and Equity, the Office of Public Participation at the Energy Facilities Siting Board, and the Division of Siting and Permitting at the Department of Energy Resources. Each office would be charged with engaging with communities and applicants in their respective areas to ensure a robust, thorough and community-centered review of all projects. • Protecting ratepayers from bearing the cost of new construction by requiring the Energy Facilities Siting Board to first consider enhancing current technologies before looking to new construction. An online clean energy infrastructure dashboard would also be created to promote public accountability in real time. • Lowering utility rates for consumers by directing utility providers to offer lower rates to eligible consumers and providing more flexibility to negotiate the lengths of basic service contracts with electricity providers to reduce cost spikes. • Expanding the “Massachusetts Offers Rebates for Electric Vehicles” program through 2027, which gives residents $3,500-$6,000 for the purchase of new or used electric vehicles. It would allow residents who own parcels within condominiums, homeowner associations and historic districts to install EV chargers, and authorize condo boards to install EV chargers on community parcels. • Centralizing the deployment of resources with the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Coordinating Council (EVICC) and directing the Department of Public Utilities to make it easier to install pole-mounted chargers that often are used in parking spots and on streets. • Making it easier for cities and towns to procure electric school buses and EV charging equipment for their municipalities. • Expanding the mission of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) to include carbon removal, embodied carbon reduction and nuclear power. MassCEC would also be directed to promote carbon removal and embodied carbon activities, and study opportunities for future carbon removal. • Updating Massport’s enabling statute to prioritize reductions in greenhouse gas emissions alongside the promotion of commerce and growth. • Shifting the gas system from automatically replacing leakprone pipes to instead considering more targeted repairs, or decommissioning the line altogether if a more climate-friendly alternative exists. Payments for new gas lines are often financed over 30 years, beyond the 2050 goal of reducing fossil fuels. By repairing or decommissioning pipes instead of replacing them, costs shifted to ratepayers are reduced, and the clean energy transition is accelerated. • Modernizing the “bottle bill” by adding noncarbonated beverages, wine and spirits to the list of containers eligible for a bottle deposit, and increasing the deposit amount from five to 10 cents. During debate on the Senate floor, Senator Lewis was successful in getting an amendment adopted to improve wayfinding and other signage for EV charging stations. This would help encourage more drivers to consider switching to electric vehicles. Portal To Hope (“PTH”) serves people whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence and related assault crimes.

Happy 40 years of wedded bliss to you two lovebirds! • Ralph at Mafales Food Mart in Linden • The days when it didn’t cost you an arm and a leg, you’d walk into the Highland Cafe expecting the best pizza you ever tasted, served by the best wait staff Malden ever had and greeted by just about every patron between those four walls • “Irregular” Chuck Taylors that “fell off the back of a truck” • Or when you could get a brand-new pair of Chucks for four clams at the retail store on Pearl Street or out of the trunk of my ’66 Buick LeSabre for half the price. But fair warning, those sneakers may be different colors or have a “blemish” or two. Edgeworth, awash in Chucks! • Lunchtimes (and occasionally a skipped class) spent at Jack in the Box in the Square (currently home of 3 Amigos) • Lunchtimes (and occasionally a skipped class) spent at Jack Haney’s Grille in the Square (currently home to a parking lot) • When (the late) Walter Wishoski ruled the roost at Mike’s Café on Highland Avenue. Mike’s was one of the last of the “sawdust floor” bucket of bloods in Malden. We miss you, Walter, and the time and place Mike’s Cafe holds in our hearts is forever. • You are a really longtime Maldonian if you remember when local icon Sal “Butchie” Gennetti donned the MPD blues for the very first time As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – Timmy Bourque – in my book – is like, a famous Maldonian. Known, loved, respected throughout the city and without doubt, has a very, very large brain! Last month he witnessed the “G3 Tour 2024” at the Orpheum in Boston with MHS Alumni Hall of Famer Phil Bynoe commanding the stage on bass. By the way, Phil had some very capable help; his band included Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson and Steve Vai. Timmy’s report on the big show: “They were incredible. From the start of the show to the very end they were playing at 200 MPH. That Malden guy on bass was amazing. Even my girlfriend Luisa remarked on him. Not only for his playing skills but for his showmanship as well. I didn’t know he was a Malden kid. The whole band supporting Vai were all highly talented as well. The drummer was top notch too. The show also featured a great backdrop of changing video designs that reminded me of the artwork from the class album “Yessongs” (intergalactic style planetary landscape scenes). Joe Satriani was equally amazing. It was definitely one of the best guitar shows I’ve ever seen. I’ve played guitar for many years and, like yourself, have seen many rock shows over the years, and this show was absolutely one of the best. So, with Phil Bynoe being a ’79 MHS grad along with Gary Cherone, that certainly reveals some of the best professional musical talent from that class and Malden. What made it even better was it was at the Orpheum – a modest size venue. I think the last time I was at the Orpheum was in ’77 when I saw The Kinks and The Tubes on a double bill…LOL.” Thank you, Timmy. Rock on, dude! Postscript 1: You are a longtime Maldonian if you remember when Malden’s elected officials brought us together, not apart (actually, you don’t have to be that much of a longtime Maldonian to remember that sad truth). Postscript 2: Just for the record...Billy Spadafora Jr., you are a mensch! Postscript 3: Just for the record...June 25 was the night Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora’s principled stand rocked Malden from Rotondi Field in Linden all the way to Sgt. Joseph J. Lumino Memorial Square in Edgeworth. You were heard loud and clear, Craig! —Peter is a longtime Malden resident and a regular contributor to The Malden Advocate and can be reached at PeteL39@aol.com for comments, compliments or criticisms. IRS CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION T he IRS Criminal Investigation Division files reports on an annual basis relating to investigations relating to tax fraud, corporate fraud, money laundering, identity theft as well as drug trafficking. The Internal Revenue Service states that its conviction rate was 88% in calendar year 2023. The IRS makes it a point of continuously releasing press releases in order to inform the public of its role in seeking prosecutions of people violating the tax laws. What types of tax fraud might the IRS look for? Claiming losses on lottery tickets that don’t exist, point-of-sale systems that delete a certain amount of revenue from being reported, the filing of false tax returns, claiming of fraudulent fuel tax credits, employee retention tax credits, paycheck protection plan forgivable loan applications, cryptocurrency crimes, narcotics trafficking, unreported income, underreported income, fictitious expense deductions, etc. The IRS allocated $38million in fiscal year 2022 in order to pay to whistleblowers. The IRS compensated whistleblowers between 15% to 30% of the amount of tax dollars recovered by the IRS, which amounted to over $143miilion paid to whistleblowers. Since 2007, the IRS has paid a whopping $1.1billion to whistleblowers. 71 percent of all claims filed by whistleblowers were denied. A Whistleblower would file Form D-3949-A with the IRS, (Tax Fraud and Identity Theft Information Report). The IRS is now using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in order to assist in its data gathering activities. The IRS will be able to increase its data gathering activities exponentially with the use of AI in order to more efficiently review tax-related data in order to detect income tax fraud and other types of crimes. We’ve entered a new age where governmental agencies will have just one more tool at their disposal to achieve their objectives. . Joseph D.

Butch had long been active in local government and community organizations. In addition to his esteemed career with the Malden Police Department, he was also a past President of the Malden Police Relief Association, past member of the Malden Police Honor Guard, member of the Malden Police Softball team and former league President, Mayor Howard’s Ombudsman, Malden School Committee member for eight years and two years as Chairman, co-founder and fi rst President of the Malden Over 40 Softball League, manager of the former Kappy’s Kops Softball Team, member of the St. Rocco Society, past President and current board member of the Italian American Citizens Club, past President of Malden Kiwanis, past President of the Brittolesi Mutual Aid Society, member of the Irish American Club, member of the Italian-American World War Veterans and member of Club Italia. Butch loved to play bocce, golf and softball and loved working out. It was not an uncommon sight to see Butch walking through the streets of Edgeworth, always waving to someone driving by or stopping to say hello to a neighbor. But more than anything, Butch loved his family and friends. Butch was born and raised in Malden’s Edgeworth neighborhood. He was a graduate of Malden High’s class of 1955. He went on to serve his county in the U.S. Air Force and returned to Edgeworth, where he raised his fi ve children. He loved to spend time with family and friends, whether at the bocce court, on the golf course, at family barbecues or gatherings, holidays, Sundays or just because. Butch loved to visit Florida, by train, of course, and he was as much a VIP there as he was in Malden. Everyone has a fond memory of Butch and he will be greatly missed and cherished by OBITUARIES | SEE PAGE 21 ׉ 7cassandra://sAviGKYhgaS1v5PexuCbN8JrvdJvsIGS0KT-ik16ldI*`̰f2&2F2:f2&2F2: PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://VsslaSsbv8ssa674yEtQyt1zyUkGpsg8dQvmcHGxlAo`)׉ 7cassandra://R7a4lRUZY3T_znrX41CSI8zQKJv5Nhg1rOrFsLJl_aE͊`J׉ 7cassandra://p9E6cv9uytwXUdagDxP-sAfE9hU-XwbutotcQM3flhM%a`̰f2.2F2:Gט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://17N1Y4-nreDqwFdGJGnd5zqST5bYMCrBnj30LmRoH30[`)׉ 7cassandra://-vlmy02FbRXvJ_xWFOrFL5dpC4BI5wI2W-GrI6Og4IQ͟`J׉ 7cassandra://9R5E3Gr4aRVZDV278etxEXygXiGiFo5O46EVhzQoRJE-`̰f2.2F2:Hנf2.2F2:Rs9ׁHhttp://www.advocatenews.netׁ ׁ Јנf2.2F2:QLQ9ׁHhttp://ingkids.orgׁ ׁ Ј׉E|Page 20 avvya yavvy eniiooravvy S iorn or v y io iori by Jim Miller How to Hire a Caregiver for In-Home Help Dear Savvy Senior, I need to hire a good in-home caregiver to help my elderly father who lives alone. What’s the best way to do this? Searching Sarah Dear Sarah, Finding a good in-home caregiver for an elderly parent is not always easy. How can you fi nd one that’s reliable and trustworthy, as well as someone your parent likes and is comfortable with? Here are some tips that can help. Know His Needs Before you start the task of looking for an in-home caregiver, your fi rst step is to determine the level of care your dad needs. For example, if he only needs help with daily living tasks like shopping, cooking, doing laundry, bathing or dressing, a “homemaker” or “personal care aide” will do. But if he needs health care services, there are “home health aides” that may do all the things a homemaker does, plus they also have training in administering medications, changing wound dressings and other medically related duties. Home health aides often work under a nurse’s supervision. Once you settle on a level of care, you then need to decide how many hours of assistance he’ll need. For example, does your dad need someone to come in just a few mornings a week to cook, clean, run errands or perhaps help him with a bath? Or does he need more continuous care that requires daily visits? After you determine his needs, there are two ways in which you can go about hiring someone. Either through an agency, or you can hire someone directly on your own. Hiring Through an Agency Hiring a personal care or home health aide through an agency is the safest and easiest option, but it’s more expensive. Costs typically run anywhere between $15 and $30 an hour depending on where you live and the qualifi cation of the aide. How it works is you pay the agency, and they handle everything including an assessment of your mom’s needs, assigning appropriately trained and pre-screened staff to care for her, and fi nding a fi ll-in on days her aide cannot come. Some of the drawbacks, however, are that you may not have much input into the selection of the caregiver, and the caregivers may change or alternate, which can cause a disruption. To fi nd a home care agency in your dad’s area use search engines like Google or Bing and type in “home health care” or “non-medical home care” followed by the city and state your dad lives in. You can also use Medicare’s search tool at Medicare.gov/care-compare – click on “home health services.” Most home health agencies off er some form of non-medical home care services too. You also need to know that original Medicare does not cover inhome caregiving services unless your dad is receiving doctor ordered skilled nursing or therapy services at home too. But, if your dad is in a certain Medicare Advantage plan, or is low-income and qualifi es for Medicaid, he may be eligible for some coverage. Hiring Directly Hiring an independent caregiver on your own is the other option, and it’s less expensive. Costs typically range between $12 and $25 per hour. Hiring directly also gives you more control over who you hire so you can choose someone who you feel is right for your dad. But be aware that if you do hire someone on your own, you become the employer so there’s no agency support to fall back on if a problem occurs or if the aide doesn’t show up. You’re also responsible for paying payroll taxes and any worker-related injuries that may happen. If you choose this option, make sure you check the aide’s references thoroughly and do a criminal background check at companies like eNannySource.com. To fi nd someone use an elder-care matching service like Care. com or CareLinx.com, which both provide basic background checks. 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.

Later, he was appointed to be one of a committee of three to lay out the county's highways between two new towns: Redding (now Wakefi eld) and Winnesmett (now Chelsea and Revere). Captain John Sprague died in 1692 and was buried in the Bell Rock Cemetery. The younger son of Ralph Sprague, Richard Sprague (1627/8–1703), inherited part of his uncle, Richard Sprague's, estate and the foreign shipping trade with Barbados in 1668. In 1681, he joined the First Church in Charlestown and became a Representative in the General Court for Charlestown. During the Dutch War (1674), he commanded an armed vessel of twelve guns and cruised in Long Island Sound for the protection of the coast trade.

He was also recruited as a member of the Artillery Company, and in 1683-84 became fi rst sergeant. On April 18, 1689, he marched with his company into Boston, and assisted in the revolt against Edmund Andros (1637–1714), English Governor of the Dominion of New England (1683-89). Richard Sprague was appointed to the "Council for the safety of the people and conservation of the peace, which was established for the provisional government of the colony; but when the convention of the colony was subsequently chosen, besides taking temporary measures for public safety, assumed to institute a new government without the sanction of the crown, he, with other leading citizens, protested and appealed to their majesties, William and Mary, believing the action of the convention unconstitutional and contrary to their oaths of allegiance. He was thereupon deprived of his captaincy, expelled from the House of Representatives for ‘his contemptuous carriage against the government’, and was arranged before the court for ‘seditious libel.’ He was, however, acquitted of the charge and was elected to represent the town in the General Court until his death."
