“Thanks to the grant from the

Open to MVES consumers, the
Social Engagement Program is
designed to help improve the
health and well-being of isolated
older adults in the community by
providing meaningful social connection
– whether it be through
regular visits (when safe to do so),
telephone calls or email.
“Fostering closer relationships
between the City of Everett and
local organizations like MVES,
who provide direct support and
services to our residents, is precisely
the reason I pushed for the
establishment of the Everett Citizens
Foundation. Since its inception,
the ECF has provided grants
to 50 local organizations and I
want to thank the members of
the Board for their diligence and
our partners at Encore Boston
Harbor for their financial support,”
said Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria.
“The ability to engage socially
is vital to the health and wellbeing
of individuals. We are inherently
social beings. I am very
proud that the Everett Citizens
Foundation voted to provide financial
support to MVES’s Social
Engagement Program,” said
Attorney Matthew Lattanzi, ECF

ECF was established by the
Host Community Agreement
between the City of Everett
and Wynn Resorts that was approved
by the voters of Everett
in 2013. ECF receives an annual
payment of $250,000 from
Encore Boston Harbor, which is
distributed among local groups,
associations and programs with
important initiatives in Everett.

named Vice Chair
of Joint Committee
on Elder Affairs
S
tate Representative Kate
Lipper-Garabedian was
recently named the House
Vice Chair of the Legislature’s
Joint Committee on Elder Affairs
by House Speaker Ronald
Mariano just 11 months
into her role as the State Representative
for the 32nd Middlesex
District.
“I am thrilled to be chosen
for a Vice Chair assignment,”
said Lipper-Garabedian. “I am
honored by Speaker Mariano’s
confidence and delighted to
serve on a variety of committees
that will focus on critical
issues this session. I particularly
look forward to working
with Chair Stanley and the Elder
Affairs Committee members
in service to our seniors,
never more important than
during this time as we consider
the devastating impact of
COVID-19 on our older population,
particularly those in
long-term care facilities, rest
homes, and assisted living facilities.”
After
winning a special
election in March 2020, Lipper-Garabedian
took office
right as the Commonwealth
entered a State of Emergency
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Having never worked
a day in the State House, her
tenure has been different
from most. In her first year,
she assisted residents with
accessing state benefits, developed
resources on various
government and community
programs, frequently communicated
with the District
about legislative and policy
developments, including
in weekly newsletters, voted
to enact legislation, includKate

ing on economic development,
the climate crisis and
health care, and, more recently,
helped constituents
navigate the vaccine rollout
and appointment process.
Entering the new session,
Lipper-Garabedian has
filed more than 30 bills on a
variety of topics, including
student data privacy, vocational
technical education
and college in high school
programs, senior property
tax exemptions, community
corrections reform, and veterans’
benefits.
The recent addition of
Committee assignments
will complement her efforts
at the State House. The Joint
Committee on Elder Affairs
considers all matters concerning
elderly, handicapped
elders, nursing facilities, prescription
drugs, reverse mortgages,
senior pharmacy and
such other matters as may be
referred to it. Lipper-Garabedian
also has been named
to the Joint Committee on
Financial Services, the Joint
Committee on Public Service
and the Joint Committee on
Telecommunications, Utilities
and Energy.

Local doctors attempt to quell fears about COVID-19 vaccines
By Christopher Roberson
F
or more than an hour, a
panel of infectious disease
specialists fielded a flurry of
calls from residents with concerns
regarding the COVID-19
vaccines during a virtual Town
Hall discussion on February 24.
Dr. Ilona Goldfarb of Massachusetts
General Hospital
(MGH) spoke about concerns
that the vaccines could negatively
affect women who are
pregnant or breastfeeding. Although
no major studies were
conducted to test the vaccines
in those patients, she said, Dr.
Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading
infectious disease specialist,
reported that the vaccines have
been given to 10,000 womCORPORATE

en nationwide who are pregnant
or breastfeeding. Thus far,
there have been no documented
complications noted by the
federal Food and Drug Administration.
Goldfarb
also said there is
no evidence that the vaccines
cause miscarriages or decrease
fertility. “The COVID vaccine
seems like a very safe choice,”
she said.
In addition, Goldfarb said no
part of the virus is put into the
vaccines. “The COVID vaccine is

ing to get COVID by getting the
vaccine.”
Dr. Sandra Nelson of MGH encouraged
residents to get vaccinated
even if they already
had the virus, adding that after
symptoms subside patients can
wait 90 days to get the shots.
Yet, she acknowledged the
possibility of side effects, particularly
after the second inoculation.
“The rate of side effects
are a little bit higher after the
second dose,” said Nelson. She
also said the most common side
effect has been soreness in the
the turn of the 20th century by
former Mayor Elisha Converse. It
reportedly last sold several years
ago for $1.45 million.
According to Malden-based
Attorney Roberto Di Marco, who
appeared at Monday’s meeting
on behalf of the owners, two
options had been developed to
comply with the Historical Commission’s
request to preserve the
arm where the vaccine was administered.
She
also said residents should
continue to wear masks after
they receive the vaccines. “We
know that some people who
acquire this virus never get sick,”
said Nelson.
Dr. Paige Wickner of Brigham
and Women’s Hospital said there
is nothing in the vaccines that
would trigger a reaction from
someone with a food allergy.
“These vaccines are safe, even
for people with food allergies,”
she said.

the owners must get permission
from the MRA to entertain
any ideas of moving the building

who attended the virtual
meetings, spoke in favor of stayHere

building. One was to move the
building 60 feet south to its right
down Ferry Street and into the
adjacent parking lot. A second
option was to swivel the building
90 degrees so it would be facing
the parking lot. This option was
discarded, Di Marco said.
The parking lot is owned and
maintained by the Malden Redevelopment
Authority (MRA),
and as of Monday there had
been no response to inquiries
to the MRA regarding potening
demolition, preserving the
building, and of any plan by the
owners of moving the building.
Councillor O’Malley told those
in attendance he has tried previously
in 2020 to organize a meeting
between himself and representatives
of the property, the
Mayor’s Office and the MRA and
had been unsuccessful. He said
he would begin anew to try and
organize such a meeting to “discuss
what’s really going on here”
and try to come to a resolution.

Federal grand jury indicts Maldonian
on “murder-for-hire” charges
Suspect allegedly tried to hire
“hit man” to murder his wife
B
OSTON – A Malden man
was indicted by a federal
grand jury on Tuesday in connection
with attempting to
hire a contract killer – who was
actually an undercover federal
agent – to murder his wife,
according to a spokesperson
from the U.S. District Attorney’s
Office. Massimo Marenghi,
54, of Malden, was indicted
on one count of murder-forhire.
Marenghi was charged by
criminal complaint and arrested
in January 2021.
After a detention hearing on
February 10, 2021, U.S. Magistrate
Judge Jennifer C. Boal ordered
Marenghi detained without
bail pending trial.
According to charging documents,
an individual reported to
law enforcement that Marenghi
had complained about his
wife seeking a restraining order
against him, allegedly asking
the individual for assistance in
killing his wife. At the direction
of federal agents, the individual
introduced Marenghi to an undercover
agent who posed as
a contract killer. On January 20,
2021, Marenghi met with the
undercover agent and allegedly
sought help to “eliminate” his
problem, providing the undercover
agent with a photograph
of his wife’s residence and explained
how to evade detection
by cameras while approaching
the residence. It is alleged that
on January 29, 2021, Marenghi
again met with the undercover
agent and discussed moving
forward with the killing of his
wife. Allegedly, Marenghi provided
$1,500 cash as a deposit
for the murder and explained
that the sooner the “demolition
job” took place, the sooner
he would be able to pay the
balance owed. He also allegedly
provided the undercover agent
with a photograph of his wife,
the hours of operation of her
place of business and a schedule
indicating when he would
have custody of his children,
which he said would be the
“best time for the construction
work to start.”
Someone charged with murder-for-hire
faces a sentence of
up to 10 years in prison, three
years of supervised release and
a fine of up to $250,000. Sentences
are imposed by a federal
district court judge based on
the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines
and other statutory factors.
U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling
and the FBI’s Special Agent in
Charge of the Boston Field Division,
Joseph R. Bonavolonta,
made the case announcement.
The Malden Police Department
provided valuable assistance
with the investigation. Assistant
U.S. Attorney Adam Deitch
of Lelling’s Major Crimes Unit is
prosecuting the case.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 26, 2021
Malden: Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday –
Bridge Recovery Center
By Peter F. Levine
A
few weeks back, I wrote
about the Bridge Recovery
Center and the work of Callahan
Construction. A slip by me,
but I neglected to tell the story
of the real heroes who were essential
in making this valuable
resource happen in our community:
the Adelaide Breed Bayrd
Foundation. Since their formation
in 1927, this amazing organization
has been instrumental
in helping countless Malden organizations
find the funding to
advance their missions. A large
tip of the hat goes out to these
unsung heroes of Malden.
When you’re involved in youth
sports, or actually anytime you
have the opportunity to mentor
youngsters, it’s always gratifying
when somebody you coached
or taught or counseled gets to
the highest level in his or her
profession. I did extraordinarily
little coaching, mentoring or
counseling in years past, but
the little I did came with mixed
results.
Example one: Frankie Molis
cajoled me into coaching a
youth basketball league team
at the Y in 1985. “Danny” was my
team leader. Physically mature
range half jumper. Point taken.
I don’t remember if it went in or
not, but that was the last time I
tried to manage our offense. Or
Puggy. But, as usual, I digress...
Those, sadly, are my only two
examples in my coaching career.
But you know who has a
larger sample size to choose
from? Ya, I knew you already
knew – Bob “Mr. Knight” Rotondi.
Bob likes to make me look
good. He sent me this gem; take
it away, Bob: “When one of your
players you have coached, be
it baseball or hockey, makes it
The Bridge (Courtesy Photo)
at 14, he competed on a much
higher level than the rest of the
boys. We did well that summer.
We had good chemistry, and he
was a good listener. At age 18 I
see Danny doing the perp walk
into the Everett Police Station on
gun charges.

lsimeonejr@simeonelaw.net
Example two: I like to brag
to my brother Joe that I was
the impetus for professional
football player Breno Giacomini’s
success. Short story
shorter, when Joe and Dana
(Brown) were running all those
great youth basketball leagues
at the Salemwood, I helped
coached a team one year. Breno
was on my squad as a (I believe)
12-year-old. At well over
6 feet tall, he dominated. He
would easily rebound the ball,
sprint down the court each
and every time for an uncontested
lay in. After the 10th or
so time, I called a timeout. My
directions were simple: Breno
was to secure the rebound,
look for the outlet to the point
guard, follow the ball down
the court and run a play. Everybody
shook their heads in
agreement. The shot goes up,
Breno snags the rebound and
bounds down the court for another
lay in. At that point I said,
why mess with perfection?
Puggy Forbes did something
similar in the men’s hoop league
one time. My team is stacked
that year. I have rounded up
the usual talented round ball
suspects, such as Mark Burns,
Greg Phaneuf, Joe Levine, Steve
& Dave Johnson and Jerry &
Danny Lynch. But this season I
did some outside recruiting. The
league was becoming much
too competitive to stand pat.
I needed a few ringers. I asked
Malden High School Hall of
Fame hoopster Puggy Forbes
(drafted by the C’s – look it up)
to join us. He had a caveat: We
also have to include Billy Greeley
and Johnny Salmon. Twist
my arm, Puggy. Like I said, we
were stacked. So, we’re playing
Henry’s Restaurant early in the
year. Henry’s has talent up and
down their roster – Meffa studs
like Tommy Ryser, Mike Hognet,
Stan Fiumma, Mike McCormack
and Steve Krasker. They
go on an early run and put us
in a hole. Our offense is in disarray.
An abundance of great
players, too few balls. I call timeout.
I explain to Puggy that he
cannot bring the ball up the
court and shoot every, single,
time. I continue to explain that
he needs to let Danny or Jerry
bring the rock up. You set up in
the corner or the top of the key
big guy and they will feed you
the ball. Everybody agrees. The
ball is inbounded, but to Puggy’s
outstretched arms. Rodney
proceeds to dribble the ball
up the court and launch a mid‘big’,
it is extremely rewarding. I
have been blessed to enjoy that
feeling many times with people
in both sports. Likewise, when
one of your former charges becomes
a police or fireman, or
elected to school committee,
or city council, or even mayor,
equally great feeling. Well, I
want to include one of my former
players who has just got
a book on the market selling
briskly. It’s called ‘The Pickle Ball
Murder,’ a whodunnit, by Harvey
Caras. Harvey is a retired successful
businessman now living
with wife Joanna, in Port Lucie,
Florida. His wife also has written
a couple books and has a weekly
TV show on cooking. Harvey
was the Knights team co-captain
with former Malden Police
Captain, Angie Scacchi. They
batted 3-4 in a lineup that won
the championship in 1964. Harvey
was the catcher, and a terrific
field general. This was Harvey’s
second book on the market
by the way. He hailed from
Bainbridge Street in his playing
days. He and Joanna have 3 children;
two sons, and a daughter
- and as Harv says; they have
given me 12 delicious grandchildren.
A couple years earlier I
had another catcher who wrote
a great book on old Suffolk
Square. Richie Klayman from
Essex Street, I think, became a
college professor. Both Klayman
and Caras autographed the inside
covers of my book with
similar comments. It warms
your heart. Of course, Maldens’
Dave Caiazzo also has a book on
the market, which I also had him
sign. So, you see, it is not just the
ones that become ‘pros’ and I’ve
had a bunch; it’s also the many
others that leave their mark in
a diverse field of success. It is all
part of my ride, and I absolutely
love it.”
“This is the end, beautiful
friend, this is the end, my only
friend, the end” – the Adelaide

Malden Reads and Malden
Community Organizing
for Racial Equity to host
anti-racism workshop
A
s part of its 2021 program,
Malden Reads is collaborating
with the Malden Community
Organizing for Racial
Equity (MaldenCORE) to host
the virtual workshop Unlearn
to Relearn: Breaking Down Systemic
Racism. This free four-part
workshop will meet on March
11, March 25, April 15 and April
29 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and will
be led by Lesley University’s Urban
Scholars Initiative Assistant
Director, Bwann Kellie Gwann.
The workshop is funded by the
City of Malden through its Unite
2020 initiative.
Workshop participants will be
asked to read and reflect on the
book “Me and White Supremacy:
Combat Racism, Change
the World, and Become a Good
Ancestor” by Layla F. Saad. The
book is divided into 28 short
chapters with reflection questions
at the end of each chapter.
In the chapters, Saad discusses
her lived experiences of racism
as a result of her intersectional
identities and the ways readers
can dismantle forms of oppression
toward communities of color.
The workshop will help participants
who are actively reading
the book gain a deeper understanding
of systemic racism
in the United States through dialogue,
case study review and
small group activities. The workshop
will cover many topics, including
how Black, Indigenous
and People of Color communities
in the United States have
been historically oppressed and
different racial groups’ roles in
dismantling white supremacy.

Maldonian has hands
blessed before first
clinical rotation
M
ANCHESTER, N.H. – Malden
resident Emily Vigorito,
a sophomore at Saint Anselm
College, recently joined
fellow student nurses in the Abbey
Church for a blessing before
beginning clinical placements.
The blessing of the hands ceremony
held on February 5 is
a beloved tradition for the college’s
future nurses, connecting
the Benedictine values at the
center of their college experience
to their future work. Vigorito,
along with 87 other future
nurses representing 10 states,
received the blessing of hands,
marking a new chapter in their
nursing education by taking
the classroom, lab and simulation
learning to the clinical environment.
Due
to the COVID-19 pandemic,
the nursing students
were joined by only college faculty
and staff while family and
friends were able to watch livestreamed.
Father Mathias Durette,
O.S.B., presided over the
blessing.

Also, in the realm of food
security related to the pandemic,
the City of Malden provided
free breakfast and lunch, and for
a good part of the years, free dinners,
through the Malden Public
Schools (a program which continues
throughout the school year)
at school-based sites.
Housing security was also a
major part of the city’s response
to the pandemic, with the primary
goal of keeping people
in their homes, especially
those who were unable to pay
rent because they lost their jobs
and their household fi nances
were either stretched or eliminated
due to COVID-19-related
reasons. Mayor Christenson
declared an eviction moratorium
in Malden and then saw
a strong rental assistance/anti-eviction
program coordinated
through the Malden Redevelopment
Authority (MRA) distribute
over $700,000 in aid to
Malden residents. Back rent was
paid off for close to 150 households,
and agreements were negotiated
with the biggest landlords
in the city. The city’s eff orts
were highlighted as the best in
the state by a Boston news outlet
just this past week.
Mayor Christenson also pointed
to two other major highlights
this past year: the reopening of
Pleasant Street to through traffi
c for the fi rst time in 40 years
and the establishment of a new
Malden City Hall were big accomplishments
in the past year.
This past year, the Mayor
launched an initiative called
“Unite Malden” to address issues
of social and racial justice
around the community, culminating
with one of the key “reHighlights
from

– City came together to help all residents who needed assistance

– Safety and health measures instituted citywide from the

–
Malden’s unique eviction-prevention measures and moratorium
kept hundreds in their homes.
– For the fi rst time in 40 years, Pleasant Street reopened to

– New City Hall was established in a new space and awaits

– Despite pandemic, City of Malden replaced 200-plus lead

– Mayor launched “Unite Malden” to address issues of social

announce that Malden has been
selected as a priority community
for its 2021 grant program.
Nonprofi ts and city-run public
benefi t programs from Malden
are eligible to submit proposals
through May 7, 2021. Several
types of support are off ered by
the Foundation Trust, including
partnership grants, event-specifi

development.
Foundation Trust Executive
Director Dr. Joseph Spinazzola
explained how this year’s
grant program will prioritize active
partnerships between the
Foundation Trust and its grantees:
“We are positioned to offer
much more than funding
alone, and we are excited to explore
expanded partnership
opportunities with 2021 applicants.
Together, we’ll be able to
achieve much more in our local
communities than we could on
our own.”
Interested programs are invited
to propose innovative
programming, to be designed
and implemented in partnership
with the Foundation Trust,
in one or more of the foundation’s
funding tracks: overcoming
trauma and adversity, empowering
at-risk youths and
communities, restoring dignity
and quality of care for adults living
with chronic conditions, and
advancing inclusivity in the arts.
A virtual information session
on the awards and application
process will be held on Thursday,
March 25. Additional details

shuttered longtime entertainment
center Showcase Cinema,
and for the first time in 40 years,
the site is bereft of previews and
popcorn. Northbridge Corp.,
a Wakefield-based developer,
purchased the site from National
Amusements. It will be leasing
the 102,000 square foot site to
Amazon, which will repurpose
the land for another fulfillment
center, its second in Revere.
Councillor Sica’s resolve – offered
after a discussion and request
with Teamsters Local 25
Union officials – urged Amazon
officials to ensure that “its
operations meet or exceed
current Community Standards
established by existing e-commerce
delivery networks,” according
to the resolution. The
resolution went on, “This commitment
would include that
all delivery drivers will be direct
employees of Amazon
and not independent contractors.
“Amazon
must commit that
all of its delivery drivers will be
competent, safe drivers, that
Amazon and its delivery drivers
will maintain the utmost professional
conduct in their dayto-day
operations in the neighborhoods
of the city of Malden.”
“Our city has a long history of
supporting workers and unions
and we would support Amazon
workers in the same way we did
Stop & Shop and National Grid
union members in the past,”
Councillor Sica said. “We have
all benefitted from Amazon in
the COVID-19 pandemic. They
have delivered 25 billion packages
in this country and posted
a $385 billion profit in 2020, they
can afford to pay their workers
fair wages.”
The Malden City Council’s resolution
comes in the same time
frame as a historic voting period
for Amazon workers attempting
to unionize for the first time. The
National Labor Relations Board
rejected Amazon’s attempt to
delay a union vote set to begin
on Monday, February 8.
Councillor Sica’s resolution
drew support across the Council
when it was presented at Tuesday
night’s virtual City Council
Committee of the Whole meeting,
the only item on the agenda,
and unanimously approved
by an 11-0 vote.

Ward 3 Councillor Amanda
Linehan, who works as communications
director of the

Council (MAPC), a regional
planning agency serving the
101 cities and towns of Metro

along with her colleagues. She

1-21 WHEREAS, COVID-19
has had a devastating impact
on the health, safety, and
well-being of the residents of
the City of Malden; and,
WHEREAS, The preventative
measures put in place to combat
COVID-19 by state and local
agencies to prevent the
spread and curtail transmission
of the coronavirus have
had a devastating economic
impact on local retail establishments,
and have changed the
retail options for the residents
in the City of Malden; and,
WHEREAS, Existing retail
and e-commerce delivery networks
currently operate in the
City of Malden and set community
standards for every
family with sustaining wages,
benefits including but not limited
to quality health insurance
and secure retirement; and,
WHEREAS, Malden’s retail
and e-commerce delivery options
coexist in diverse neighborhoods,
while adding value
to the fabric of the community,
including offering good careers
for Malden residents to
provide for their families; and,
WHEREAS, Existing e-commerce
delivery options have
aptly served the residents of
the City of Malden throughout
the COVID-19 pandemic
while maintaining the highest
of standards for its’ essential
workforce; and,
WHEREAS, Amazon, which
does not conform to area standards
for wages, benefits, and
working conditions, may in the
future choose the City of Malden
for expansion of its e-commerce
operations.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,
The Malden City
Council, hereby assembled,
urges Amazon to meet and
confer with the Malden community,
included, but not limited
to, representatives of labor
unions including the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters
Local 25, locally impacted
neighborhood groups, local
residents, and other interested
parties to discuss how Amazon
can expand delivery operations,
warehouses, and fulfillment
centers in a way that is
beneficial to the City of Malden
and its residents while guaranteeing
sustainable growth for
the City and helping to ensure
that fair and equitable employment
standards are maintained
for
all e-commerce delivery networks;
and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
Prior to any expansion into
the City of Malden, Amazon
commits to and presents sufficient
evidence to the Malden
City Council that its operations
meet or exceed current Community
Standards established
by existing e-commerce delivery
networks. This commitment
would include that all
delivery drivers will be direct
employees of Amazon and
not independent contractors.
Amazon must commit that all
of its delivery drivers will be
competent, safe drivers, that
Amazon and its delivery drivers
will maintain the utmost
professional conduct in their
day-to-day operations in the
neighborhoods of the City of
Malden.

ed, pointing to a preponderance
of related issues to that
statement, here in the region
and nationwide.
She said that through her recent
research, there is over 12
million square feet of warehouse
space related to e-commerce
now open or opening
soon in Massachusetts. There
was $600 billion in online retail
sales in 2020, rising 34 percent
in just the past six months.
“The competition to rent warehouse
to support e-commerce
has caused the rents to rise 42
percent in the past year,” Councillor
Linehan said.
She added that it is important
for Malden’s city government
to keep a close eye on the
new Amazon operation, which
will be just one street away from
Malden’s Linden neighborhood
(which Sica represents), for a lot
of reasons. “This new operation
will impact our community with
traffic, greenhouse gases and increased
pollution,” Linehan said.
“In the future we have to consider
where Amazon is going next,
with delivery options such as
drones and autonomous [driverless]
vehicles. That’s all coming
our way.”
Linehan called into question
Amazon’s workforce relations.
“Amazon has a questionable
track record on public safety,
workers’ treatment and substandard
pay,” the ward 3 councillor
said.
Her remarks on workers’
standards were echoed by
Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon,
who knows the industry
well, as the retired longtime
supervisor of the Malden Post
Office branch on Mountain
Avenue. “When you see all the
Amazon Prime trucks round
our city, a lot of these workers
are independent contractors
who are paid by the number
of packages they deliver. They
drive too fast to get rid of as
many packages in the shortest
amount of time,” Councillor
Condon said. “We have a right
to expect these workers to be
paid what they should be paid.
Mr. Jeff Bezos, you can afford to
pay them.”
Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley
said he backed the resolution,
but along with “sending
a message to Amazon” he
would like to “see some teeth”
in the message and suggested
it be discussed at the Ordinance
Committee level.
Councillor-at-Large Steve
Winslow backed the resolve
as well. “Malden’s the kind of
community where we worry
about a buck,” Winslow said.
“We protect our workers in
Malden and we also have to
look out for our small businesses.
Small businesses owners
have real costs, and there are
other tolls when you work in
the retail industry.
“[Companies like Amazon]
come in, set up operations to
make a quick buck and leave
it for municipalities to solve,”
Winslow added. “It should be a
joint effort, as requested in this
resolve.”

State announces
$4.7 Million for Vaccine
Equity in Hardest-Hit
Communities
Everett, Malden, and Revere residents
can now make appointments
B
OSTON – The Baker-Polito
Administration on
Wednesday announced a new
$4.7 million initiative to promote
COVID-19 vaccine equity in the
20 communities most disproportionately
impacted by the
pandemic.
Vaccination Appointments:
on Thursday, around 50,000
new appointments will be added
at mass vaccination locations
across the Commonwealth. This
includes the mass vaccination
locations at Fenway Park, Gillette
Stadium, Springfield, Danvers,
Dartmouth and Natick.
Retail pharmacies like CVS and
Walgreens will also administer
over 20,000 doses next week
as well.
As of Thursday morning, residents
can go to www.mass.
gov/COVIDvaccineto find and
schedule their appointments.
Appointment availability is very
limited due to the constrained
supply of vaccine doses that
the Commonwealth is receiving
from the federal government.
$4.7 Million for Vaccine Equity:
The Administration on Wednesday
announced a $4.7 million effort
to support its vaccine equity
initiative announced last week,
which focuses on reducing barriers
to vaccination in the 20
hardest-hit communities in the
Commonwealth. The Administration
will work with Archipelago
Strategies Group (ASG) and
Health Care for All (HCFA) to best
leverage these funds.
The initiative will support
and coordinate with local leaders
and community- and faithbased
organizations to strengthen
existing efforts in these cities
and towns. These efforts will
specifically focus on communities
of color, homebound seniors,
disabled individuals and
other hard-to-reach populations.
ASG and HCFA will provide
hyperlocal, population-specific
communication resources
as well as hiring local residents
and working with local organizations
with cultural and linguistic
competencies to reach disparately
impacted populations in
each priority municipality. ASG
specializes in grassroots mobilization,
partnering with local
leaders, community organizations,
and media partners to develop
community-based solutions.
As a subcontractor, HCFA
will provide high-touch support
for priority communities, including
direct service support, community
organizing, education,
and outreach.
This work will complement
the Commonwealth’s $2.5 million
public awareness campaign,
“Trust the Facts, Get the
Vax,” adapting the campaign’s
messaging for specific communities.
The initiative will focus
on the 20 municipalities with
the greatest COVID-19 case
burden, taking into account social
determinants of health and
the disproportionate impact of
COVID-19 on people of color.
These communities are Boston,
Brockton, Chelsea, Everett, Fall
River, Fitchburg, Framingham,
Haverhill, Holyoke, Lawrence,
Leominster, Lowell, Lynn, Malden,
Methuen, New Bedford,
Randolph, Revere, Springfield
and Worcester. This work will be
coordinated with targeted opportunities
for increased vaccine
access through existing and
new locations, including pop up
sites and mobile clinics.

Board of Health updates
residents on availability
of COVID-19 vaccine
I
n the last few weeks, several
challenges regarding
the COVID-19 vaccine have
emerged. These developments
have increased frustration and
anxiety for everyone. We are
hoping to clarify some of the
misconceptions.
The Board of Health will announce
a vaccine clinic for seniors
to receive their second
dose as soon as they are notified
of the availability of a vaccine
supply. Once this happens,
all efforts will be made
to reach out to seniors and assist
with the registration for
the clinic. At the present time,

Breed Bayrd Foundation – galloping
through Malden like the

and large charitable contributions
along the way, quietly
going about their altruistic
calling. Yes indeed, true facts!
A quick Google search will attest
to the generosity of the
Foundation and the heart of
gold they possess. If they’re not
doing long overdue renovation
work to the wheelchair lift

Public Library, they’re handing
out large sums of money to
there is no Malden vaccine clinic
scheduled to request an appointment
for a second dose,
but the Board of Health is working
to secure enough doses to
Malden. The state has indicated
that it would be pulling vaccines
from individual municipal
clinics; however, Malden may
be one of the 20 communities
that will continue to distribute
the vaccine locally. The Board
of Health is confirming this information.
Right
now, registering for one
of the state vaccination sites has
become a challenge because
the state has opened the eligiMalden’s
Summer Youth Employment
Program. My favorite
though, cause it is near and
dear to many of us in Malden
who have been affected by a
loved one’s addiction, is their
continued support of Malden
Overcoming Addiction. Yes indeed,
the Adelaide Breed Bayrd
Foundation may fly under the
radar of many in this great big
beautiful city of ours, but rest
assured their contributions are
felt – whether they realize it or
not – by every single Maldonian.
Thank you sincerely.
Postscript: I’d like to express
my sincerest apologies to anybility
for the COVID-19 vaccine
to those 65 years of age and older
without having the infrastructure
to support the thousands of
appointments that are being requested.
Please
continue to try the following
resources to schedule an
appointment:
• Call 211 for an appointment
at a state mass vaccination site
and other area clinics.
• Call or go online to CVS.com
and register for an appointment.
The Broadway and Eastern
Avenue locations are available
to choose from for an appointment.

How to Choose a
Hospice Care Program
Dear Savvy Senior,
Where can I turn to fi nd a good Medicare covered hospice provider?
My husband’s mother has a terminal condition and wants to die at
home, if possible, so I’m helping out where I can.
Sad Sandy
Dear Sandy,
Hospice is a wonderful option in the last months of life because it
off ers a variety of services, not only to those who are dying, but also
to those left behind. Here’s what you should know about hospice care,
along with some tips to help you choose one.
Understanding Hospice
Hospice care is a unique service that provides medical care, pain
management, and emotional and spiritual support to people who
are in the last stages of a terminal illness – it does not speed up or
slow down the process of dying. Hospice’s goal is to simply keep the
patient as comfortable and pain-free as possible, with loved ones
nearby until death.
The various services provided by a hospice program comes from
a team of professionals that works together to accommodate all the
patients’ end-of-life needs.
The team typically includes hospice doctors that will work with the
primary physician and family members to draft up a care plan; nurses
who dispense medication for pain control; home care aids that attend
to personal needs like eating and bathing; social workers who help
the patient and the family prepare for end of life; clergy members
who provide spiritual counseling, if desired; and volunteers that fi ll a
variety of niches, from sitting with the patient to helping clean and
maintain their property.
Some hospices even off er massage or music therapy, and nearly all
provide bereavement services for relatives and short-term inpatient
respite care to give family caregivers a break.
Most hospice patients receive care in their own home. However,
hospice will go wherever the patient is – hospital, nursing home or
assisted living residence. Some even have their own facility to use as
an option.
To receive hospice, your mother-in-law must get a referral from her
physician stating that her life expectancy is six months or less.
It’s also important to know that home-based hospice care does not
mean that a hospice nurse or volunteer is in the home 24 hours a day.
Services are based on need and/or what you request. Hospice care can
also be stopped at any time if your mother-in-law’s health improves
or if she decides to re-enter cure-oriented treatments.
How to Choose
The best time to prepare for hospice and consider your options is
before it’s necessary, so you’re not making decisions during a stressful
time. There are more than 4,300 hospice care agencies in the U.S., so
depending on where you live; you may have several options from
which to choose.
To locate a good hospice in your area, ask your mother-in-law’s
doctor or the discharge planner at your local hospital for a referral, or
you can search online at Medicare.gov/care-compare, which provides
lists and ratings of hospice providers in your area.
When choosing, look for an established hospice that has been
operating for a few years and one that is certifi ed by Medicare. To help
you select one, the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization
off ers a worksheet of questions to ask CaringInfo.org.
Medicare Coverage
Medicare covers all aspects of hospice care and services for its
benefi ciaries. There is no deductible for hospice services although
there may be a very small co-payment – such as $5 for each
prescription drug for pain and symptom control, or a 5 percent share
for inpatient respite care. Medicaid also covers hospice in most states,
as do most private health insurance plans.
For more information, see the “Medicare Hospice Benefi ts” online
booklet at Medicare.gov/pubs/pdf/02154-medicare-hospice-benefi ts.

COVID-19 Contributes to Uptick
in Opioid-Related Deaths
B
altimore, MD, February 24,
2021— Telemedicine and
tele-mental health services have
emerged as valuable resources
for those battling addictions
during our country’s expanding
opioid crisis. The availability
of remote healthcare services
gives hope for those struggling
with their addictions against a
backdrop of social isolation, explains
Dr. Paul Christo, an Associate
Professor in the Division of
Pain Medicine at the Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine,
and he adds, clinicians
need to advocate to their patients
that online treatment options
are available.
Dr. Christo, who is on the frontlines
working to curb the impact
of the opioid crisis, also wants
patients to know that critical
medications for maintaining sobriety
can now be prescribed by
telehealth or telephone.
"The number of fatalities from
opioid-related overdoses could
be nearly 30 percent higher than
reported due to missing information
or incomplete death records,”
he says. “The worst fear is
that because of social isolation,
people are not being found or
treated immediately."
The opioid epidemic today
progressed in three phases, according
to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
The fi rst involves deaths caused
by prescription opioids, the second,
an increase in heroin use,
and the third, a surge in the use
of synthetic opioids or fentanyl.
Experts say the U.S. is right
in the middle of the third phase
of the epidemic, due to the increasing
availability of fentanyl
and increasing rates of overdose
deaths involving synthetic
opioids.
According to a recent study
there were 632,331 drug overdoses
between 1999 and 2016.
Most of these deaths (78.2 percent)
were drug overdoses
with known drug classifi cation.
Moreover, 21.8 percent were unclassifi
ed drug overdoses. A further
investigation revealed that
for unclassifi ed drug overdoses,
71.8 percent involved opioids,
translating to 99,160 additional
opioid-related deaths.
There were over 70,000 drug
overdose deaths in 2017, according
to an estimate from the
CDC. Based on fi ndings from the
new study, over half of those
deaths — about 47,000 — are
suspected of having involved
opioids.
Another study on opioid
overdoses found that the number
of drug overdose deaths
decreased by 4 percent from
2017 to 2018. In 2018, more
than 67,000 people died from
drug overdoses, making it a
leading cause of injury-related
death in the United States.
Almost 70 percent involved a
prescription or illicit opioid of
those deaths.
“COVID 19 impacted the drug
supply chain by closing borders
on some regions, and it led to
the higher death rate,” Dr. Christo
explained. He added that
drugs become more challenging
to get, and the potency of
overdose goes up. It also impacts
the price, everything goes
up, and in that sense, it becomes
more deadly each day, according
to Dr. Christo.
About Dr. Paul Christo
Dr. Paul Christo serves as
Director of the Multidisciplinary
Pain Fellowship Program
at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
He is the author of Aches
and Gains, A Comprehensive
Guide to Overcoming Your
Pain. Dr. Paul Christo also hosts
an award-winning, nationally
syndicated SIRIUS XM radio
talk show on overcoming pain
called, Aches and Gains®. For

THE HOUSE AND SENATE:
There were no roll calls in the
House or Senate last week. This
week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports
on the percentage of
times local senators voted with
their party’s leadership in the
2020 session. Beacon Hill Roll
Call uses 286 votes from the
2020 Senate session as the basis
for this report. This includes
all roll calls that were not on local
issues.
The votes of the 34 Democrats
were compared to Senate
Majority Leader Cynthia Creem
(D-Newton), second-in-command
in the Senate. We could
not compare the Democrats’
votes to those of Senate President
Karen Spilka (D-Ashland)
because, by tradition, the Senate
president rarely votes.
Saugus - $899,000
None of the 34 Democratic
senators voted with Creem 100
percent of the time in 2020. That
is a big change from the 2019
session when 14 (or 43 percent)
of the Democratic senators voted
with Creem 100 percent of
the time
Back to 2020: Three senators
voted with Creem all but one
time: Sens. Julian Cyr (D-Truro),
Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett)
and Adam Hinds (D-Pittsfi
eld). Seven senators voted with
Cream all but twice: Sens. Mike
Barrett (D-Lexington), Joe Boncore
(D-Winthrop), Will Brownsberger
(D-Belmont), Brendan
Crighton (D-Lynn), Cindy Friedman
(D-Arlington), Eric Lesser
(D-Longmeadow) and Jason
Lewis (D-Winchester).
Thirty-three (97 percent) of
the 34 Democrats voted with
Creem 90 percent or more of
the time. Sen. Diana DiZoglio
(D-Methuen) who voted with
Creem 89.8 percent of the time
was the only one who voted
with Creem less than 90 percent
of the time. The two other
Democratic senators who voted
the lowest percentage of times
with Creem were Sens. Anne
Gobi (D-Spencer) who voted
with Creem 90.5 percent of the
time and Walter Timilty (D-Milton)
who voted with Creem 90.9
percent of the time.
The votes of three Republican
senators were compared with
those of GOP Senate Minority
Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester).
In 2020, as in 2019, none of the
three voted with Tarr 100 percent
of the time. In 2020, the Republican
senator who voted the
lowest percentage of times with
Tarr was former Sen. Dean Tran
(R-Fitchburg) who voted with
Tarr 57.5 percent of the time.
Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton)
voted with Tarr 68.4 percent of
the time and Sen. Patrick O'Connor
(R-Weymouth) sided with
Tarr the most times - 91.2 percent
of the time.
Those numbers are a big
change from 2019 when Tarr
got way more cooperation from
those senators. In 2019, the Republican
senator who voted the
lowest percentage of times with
Tarr was Sen. Fattman who voted
with Tarr 90.8 percent of the
time; Sen. Patrick O'Connor voted
with Tarr 92.3 percent of the
time; and former Sen. Dean Tran
sided with Tarr 93.7 percent of
the time.
PERCENTAGE OF TIMES SENATORS
VOTED WITH THEIR
PARTY’S LEADERSHIP IN 2020
The percentage next to the
senator’s name represents the
percentage of times the senator
supported his or her party’s
leadership. The number in parentheses
represents the number
of times the senator opposed
his or her party’s leadership.
Some
senators voted on all
286 roll call votes. Others missed
one or more roll call. The percentage
for each senator is calculated
based on the number
of roll calls on which he or she
voted and does not count the
roll calls for which he or she was
absent.
Sen. Jason Lewis 99.3 percent
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 fi led. 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 February
15-19, the House met for a total
of 33 minutes while the Senate
met for a total of 17 minutes.
