Malden High School graduates 402 at Macdonald
Stadium as a more traditional ceremony returns
By Steve Freker
T
he COVID-19 pandemic turns
out new pieces of history
like no other event in the past
100 years. Malden High School
(MHS) Principal Chris Mastrangelo
noted the same at the MHS
Class of 2021 graduation exercises
held Sunday at Macdonald
Stadium, where 402 seniors
received their diplomas.
Class President Harriet Gerochi’s
address to her classmates
spurred him to point out, “This
Class of 2021 has made plenty
of history, but Harriet’s speech
was most definitely the first time
a Malden High School graduation
speech began with ‘What’s
up, shorties!’"
To the credit of all who
planned and prepared the event
and all those who took part, that
was the tone of the day, despite
the at times oppressive heat settling
in at temperatures in the
mid-90s under a brilliant sunny
sky. There was a clear sense of a
lighter atmosphere on this highest
of priority days for the Class
of 2021, which was the second
group of MHS seniors in a row to
have lived through the “once-in100-years”
COVID-19 pandemic.
In turn, the speeches were to
the point, while at the same time
inspiring and uplifting – not to
mention, efficient – as this graduation
was called by many “veteran”
Malden Public Schools
alumni in the house the quickest
in memory at one hour, 29
minutes.

and the Malden Girl Scouts will

is being coordinated by Ward 1
Councillor Peg Crowe and Ward
1 School Committee Member
Mike Drummey. The ceremony
will take place rain or shine.
Flag Day commemorates the
June 14, 1777, adoption of the
United States Flag by resolution
of the Second Continental
Congress. On May 30, 1916,
President Woodrow Wilson officially
established June 14 as
Flag Day, and on August 3, 1949,
President Truman signed an Act
of Congress designating every
June 14 as National Flag Day.
issue. It’s important because it’s
common. And it can happen to
anyone,” said Shelly Sevinor, protective
services quality improvement
specialist and community
liaison for Mystic Valley Elder
Services (MVES).
Sevinor points out that the financial
exploitation of elders is at
an all-time high. Many scammers
think of elders as prime targets
because they might live alone
and have retirement savings or
own a home. Scammers might
assume that their crimes against
seniors will go unreported.

are conducted by phone or
over email, or sometimes even
through door-to-door solicitation.
They might come in the
form of credit card offers, charitable
donation requests, investment
opportunities, sweepstakes,
home improvement offers,
wire and banking transfers,
health and wellness products,
Amazon scams, computer
pop-ups and insurance offers.
All too often, scammers access
seniors’ personal information
online and leverage it to exploit
them financially.
For example, an older adult
posts to her Facebook page
that her grandson has been accepted
to a specific college or
university. A scammer accesses
her phone number online
and calls to seek a donation to
the school’s alumni association.
Once the senior gives her personal
information, including
credit card number and billing
address, the scammer can then
make fraudulent charges.
According to the AARP, sweetheart
scams (also referred to as
romance scams) cause a heavy
financial toll on men and women
aged 60 and older. These cons
are like other scams except that
these scammers are providing
their purported affection in an attempt
to get the victim’s money.
In today’s world of online dating
and social media, these scams
have increased as perpetrators
leverage the anonymity of the Internet
to target victims. Once the
perpetrator gets a senior’s money,
he or she often disappears,
leaving the senior feeling taken
advantage of and ashamed.
While seniors may be targeted
over the phone or online by
scammers, Sevinor points out
that MVES regularly sees cases
of family members financially exploiting
their loved ones. In other
words, it’s not always a stranger
taking advantage of a senior.
“An adult child may be managing
Mom’s finances and begin
drawing on her mother’s money
when she loses her job,” said Sevinor.
Oftentimes elders are less
likely to report cases of financial
exploitation when it involves a
child, grandchild or other relative.
MVES plays a proactive role in
addressing elder abuse by not
only investigating cases but by
proactively offering education
and trainings in the 11 communities
MVES serves. “We have developed
a strong rapport with
mandated reporters of elder
abuse such as police officers and
hospitals,” said Sevinor. “We also
educate seniors themselves by
offering seminars and resources.
Our goal is to build awareness
while enabling seniors to
remain safe and independent
living in the community.”
If you suspect elder abuse
of a loved one or are being
abused yourself, please call the
state’s Elder Abuse Hotline at
1-800-922-2275 or file online at
https://www.mass.gov/how-to/
report-elder-abuse.
What can you do to
avoid a scam?
• Block unwanted calls and
text messages. Take steps to
block unwanted calls and to filter
unwanted text messages.
• Don’t give your personal or financial
information in response to
a request that you didn’t expect.
Legitimate organizations won’t
call, email or text to ask for your
personal information, such as
your social security number, bank
account or credit card numbers.
• If you get an email or text
message from a company you
do business with and you think
it’s real, it’s still best not to click
on any links. Don’t call a number
they gave you or the number
from your caller ID.
• Resist the pressure to act immediately.
Legitimate businesses
will give you time to make
a decision. Anyone who pressures
you to pay or give them
your personal information is a
scammer.
• Know how scammers tell
you to pay. Never pay someone
who insists you pay with a gift
card or by using a money transfer
service. And never deposit a
check and send money back to
someone.
• Stop and talk to someone
you trust. Before you do anything
else, tell someone – a
friend, a family member, a
neighbor – what happened.
Talking about it could help you
realize that it’s a scam.

Malden Police announce
Junior Police Academy
T
he Malden Police Department
is pleased to announce
that due to the lifted COVID-19
restrictions we will once again
be hosting the Junior Police
Academy (JPA). We understand
that COVID-19 is not gone, and
we will be taking additional
steps to ensure the health and
safety of our youths and that this
will be our first priority.
To ensure proper social distancing
and the safety of our
youths, we will be conducting
two separate academy weeks.
Both weeks will be identical. The
first week will be July 12 through
July 16 and the second week will
be July 19 through July 23.
The program is designed for
students entering the fifth,
sixth, seventh or eighth grade
this fall. The JPA will begin
promptly at 9 a.m. and end at
approximately 3 p.m. each day.
A limited number of cadets will
be accepted to the week-long
program. You must be sure you
can attend during these dates
before submitting an application.
If a cadet fails to comply
with the rules of the JPA
or fails to cooperate with fellow
cadets or staff, the cadet
will be immediately removed
from the program. The JPA will
feature a variety of training situations
in which all cadets will
be required to participate. The
JPA will include, but not be limited
to, classroom instruction,
hands-on police tactics training,
physical training and travel
days to special events.
An officer will contact you to
confirm the child’s acceptance
into the program. Applications
can be found on the Malden Police
website.

and Tartikoff Parks. Councillor
Camell and I have already been
working with the Mayor’s Office,
our DPW and Youth Baseball to
secure additional funds to undertake
more work on the ball
field at Trafton.
Councillor Camell and I held
5 community meetings and
worked with our Mayor and fellow
Councillors to initially invest
$641,800 in Trafton, the biggest
investment the City has made in
the park in the 30 years my wife
and I have lived in Maplewood.
This initial investment has proven
its success, just go by the Park
on a weekend morning of any
afternoon and see the scores of
kids using the playground and
walking and bicycling around
the revamped pathway.
All funds were spent in accordance
with state public bidding
and prevailing wage laws.
The City awarded the contract
to a highly qualified lower bidder,
JJ Phelan of Tewksbury experienced
with many municipal
projects including parks in Everett
and Salem.
How was that $641,800 spent?
1. Removing unsafe equipment,
fencing and asphalt: a
key priority was to eliminate facilities
that fell into disrepair after
the East Side Little League
dissolved a decade ago including
a collapsing batting cage, a
broken asphalt path and associated
fencing in the outfield, an
unsanitary snack stand and dated
play equipment. $105,000
2. Increasing the size of the
playground and making it more
accessible: residents who participated
in the 5 community
meetings overwhelming agreed
that the playground was the top
priority for funding. So the City
funded a bigger, more attractive
playground with a safer, accessible
rubber surface that replaced
a loose stone material. Worn
out tot equipment has been replaced
with a tot play structure
and a new merry-go-round and
multi-person teeter-totter that
are a big hit for all ages. $207,000
3. An Improved Pedestrian
Pathway: a new paved pathway
for walking and bicycling has replaced
the broken outfield path
and the path by the playground
was redone to allow expandSPENDING

has capably performed multiple

at a cost of $20 million,
including two phase projects

City plans Summer Festivals
to support Malden’s reopening
M
ayor Gary Christenson is announcing a series
of outdoor Summer Festivals in Malden
Center this summer. Beginning June 12 and occurring
every other Saturday through the end
of August, the City of Malden will be sponsoring
live music, cultural performances, artisan
and craft displays, a car show, cosplay contests
and many other surprises throughout the summer.
A main stage will be erected in the Pleasant
Street Parking Lot, while other events will
occur at City Hall Plaza and other areas along
Pleasant and Exchange Streets.
“To help our businesses rebound after a horrible
year, we want to bring a series of open-air
events that will give our residents an opportunity
to come out and re-explore Malden. We have
a bunch of surprises, but we also hope to add
to the full slate of events as the summer goes
on and bring something for everyone to enjoy,”
Mayor Christenson said.
This effort by the Mayor’s Office, the Malden
Redevelopment Authority and the Malden
Chamber of Commerce is the result of the City
taking part in Massachusetts’s Local Rapid Recovery
Plan Program where cities are required
to define an area and then try and help businesses
recover from the pandemic. With Malden
continuing to improve its classification of
being a community of risk with the pandemic
and the lifting of the restrictions by the Governor,
the summer looks to be a great time for additional
outdoor activities.
The Summer Festivals will take place on June
12 and 26, July 10 and 24 and August 7 and 21.
Free parking is available in the CBD Garage (170
Centre St.) and in the Jackson Street Garage (7
Jackson St.). For more information about the
Summer Festivals and the ever-evolving list of
events, please visit cityofmalden.org/summerfestivals.

DaPonta Family thanks
Malden community
Dear Editor:
W
e wish to express our sincere
appreciation for all
who offered their condolences
after the tragic passing of our
beloved son Simon. While we
will endeavor to reach out to everyone
personally, we simply do
not have contact information for
the many who attended his Celebration
of Life.
We were truly amazed by
the outpouring of support that
came from far and wide. Thank
you to all who donated to the
JL11 Foundation, which had a
special place in Simon’s heart.
Even though the pain of losing
Simon will remain, your prayers,
kind words and gestures have
Simon DaPonta
provided so much comfort to
our family.
Thank you,
The DaPonta Family

Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday –
Anthony and Neal Spadafora Memorial
By Peter F. Levine
I
t is said in Malden today, tomorrow
and yesterday…
Nice to see the beautiful granite
benches memorializing the
lives of Neal Spadafora and his
dad, Anthony (Papa Tony), on
the path along the Malden River
behind the Cambridge Health
Alliance building. I can still see
Neal out back of the bar on Canal
Street with his fishing rod
pulling out the strangest looking
fish.
Chris Rigano; Edgeworth
1981-2021. From Renee Straccia’s
heart via Facebook: “I don’t
even know where to start. It just
doesn’t feel real. Rest easy Chris,
you watch our babies up there,
you have an army down here
to make sure Stef, Kay, Joey and
Tink are always good. Have a
twisted tea and peanut butter
whiskey shot for me up there.
Watch over our babies.”

Grantland Rice, called it
perhaps the greatest football

his generation and possibly of
all generations. Malden High

Calling Malden Democrats –
join your virtual caucus on June 26
Malden Dems invited to elect delegates to Sept. 25, 2021, Massachusetts Democratic Party Convention in Lowell
A
ll Malden residents who are
registered or preregistered
Democrats are cordially invited
to join fellow Democrats from
their ward at the annual caucus
on Saturday, June 26, 2021,
where they will elect delegates
to represent Malden at this fall’s
Massachusetts Democratic Party
Convention. “Every Democrat
over age 16 in Malden can
participate in deciding who
represents them at the statewide
convention,” explained
Ryan O’Malley, Chair of the Malden
Democratic City Committee
(MDCC). “If you are curious
about local or statewide political
activities, attending the annual
caucus is a great way to develop
your network of Democrats and
make your voice heard.”
Each year Democratic Party
caucuses are held in every
city and town in Massachusetts
to elect delegates to the state
Convention in accordance with
Massachusetts Democratic Party
guidelines (www.massdems.
org). While the pandemic forced
the cancellation of last year’s
convention, the 2021 convention
will be delivered in a hybrid
mode so delegates can choose
to attend virtually or in person.
Malden’s caucus for all wards
will take place on Saturday, June
26 at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom. Preregistering
online for the caucus
is strongly encouraged. Interested
people can preregister
for the caucus at https://
us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUtd-uhpzIoE9fgdkniYQRlnd4_Ay5IN2xY.
The Zoom
room will open no later than at
9:30 a.m. on June 26. Participants
will be assigned to breakout
rooms by ward. Those interested
in participating should arrive
promptly, as registration for the
caucus will close at 10:15 a.m.
Who can participate? To vote
at the caucus or become a delegate
or alternate from your
ward, you must be a registered
or preregistered Democrat, live

in the ward and be elected as
a delegate during the caucus
by other attendees from your
ward. (You must attend in order
to be elected as a delegate.)
MDCC will have a list of registered
Democrats; if you registered
or changed your registration
recently, you should be prepared
to show proof of registration.
Young people who have
preregistered as Democrats and
reached the age of 16 by June
15, 2020, may vote in the caucus,
run as delegates and be elected
as delegates to the convention.
They should bring proof of preregistration.
The
Massachusetts Democratic
Party is committed to representing
the party’s diversity at
its annual Convention. In electing
delegates, the Party works to
maximize gender balance and
inclusion. Candidates who identify
as gender nonbinary can run
for delegate or alternate without
needing to classify themselves
as male or female. Members of
potentially underrepresented
groups – including youth (35 or
under), minority (black, Hispanic,
Asian American, Native American,
Cape Verdean, LGBTQ+)
and disabled Democrats – who
were not elected as delegates
or alternates at their caucus,
may apply to the Massachusetts
Democratic Party as “addon
delegates” to the convention.
The Party evaluates the diversity
of elected delegates and
draws from the pool of add-on
applicants to maximize fair representation.
Convention
in Lowell on September
25: The 2021 Massachusetts
Democratic Party Convention
will take place September
25 at the Tsongas Center
in nearby Lowell. According to
Massachusetts Democratic Party
Chair Gus Bickford, “Attendees
will be able to join in-person at
the Tsongas Center or engage
remotely, depending on their
comfort level, and voting will

take place remotely to ensure
that every delegate has the opportunity
to participate.” As 2021
is not a nominating year, this
year’s convention will focus on
the Massachusetts Democratic
Party Platform. The Convention
also typically includes networking
opportunities as well as
speeches by elected officials –
and likely some candidates running
for statewide office in 2022.
Attending the Convention is
a great way to learn more about
the Democratic Party in Massachusetts
and to meet elected officials,
candidates, activists, organizers
and other active Democrats
from around the Commonwealth.
While there is a cost
to attend, it should not become
a barrier. Delegates may confidentially
request funding from
the Massachusetts Democratic
Party or MDCC.
Whether or not Malden Democrats
participate in the caucus,
they are also invited to attend
MDCC monthly meetings and
ward-level meetings. All meetings
are open to the public, with
Democrats and prospective
Democrats especially welcome.
Anyone interested in learning
about upcoming events for Malden
Democrats and ways to get
involved should visit www.maldendemocrats.org,
where they
can join the email list. They can
also follow the group on Twitter
(@MaldenDems) and Facebook
(https://www.facebook.com/
groups/MaldenDems/).
Democrats with questions
about the Caucus or any aspect
of MDCC should contact Chair
O’Malley at maldendemocrats@
gmail.com. Find details on Caucus
rules, the Convention and

remnants from the last

How about the movie “The
Friends of Eddie Coyle”? Best
darn movie shot around Boston
evah! Bad boy Robert Mitchum
at his best. I recollect back in
1973 rumors of a movie being
shot round Malden, but it wasn’t
like today when Peter Caso
blasts the news out over social
media. The Malden scene was
filmed around the Rowe’s Quarry
area. Best line of the night
spoken by Robert Mitchum aka
Eddie “Fingers” Coyle sitting in
the old Boston Garden at a Bruins
game a short while before he
gets ‘whacked’: “Can you imagine
being a kid like that. What
is he, 24 or something? Greatest
hockey player in the world.
Number four – Bobby Orr. Geeze,
what a future he’s got, huh?”
Malden makes history! Did
you know that the very first
same-sex partners to be legally
married in Mass. were Malden’s
very own Marcia Kadish and Tanya
McCloskey at the Cambridge
Court House in Cambridge?
“Great minds think alike,
though fools seldom differ.”
Malden is full of great minds –
a couple of fools also (some still
here, some living far away), but
that is a story for another time.
The great minds I speak of belong
to the two greatest hardball
aficionados currently residing
in Malden. They got about
150 years of knowledge between
them and they love to
share it. Thank goodness for
that. This long-winded intro
takes me right to the doorsteps
of Steve Freker and Bob Rotondi
– of course it did. I yearn for the
days of Bob’s “Diamond Dust”
column but am happy as a pig in
slop for Steve’s offerings at The
Malden Advocate. Which leads
me to a piece of Malden baseball
trivia which baseball junkies
like Dave Cai live for. This appeared
a couple of years back
in Bob’s “Diamond Dust” column
when it ran in the Malden
Evening News. Bob and Steve
put those great minds together
and did some Carmine Cappuccio
research, coming up with the
fact that CC was drafted higher
than 17-year veteran and Boston
Red Sox World Series hero Derek
Lowe. Incredible. Steve did
an amazing series on Carmine’s
baseball career and how it intertwined
with the great Michael
Jordan and future Sox greatest
manager of all time Tito Francona.
I believe the series is still
available online somewhere.
Thank you, gentlemen.

alden High senior David
Lombardi has been recognized
with the prestigious Boston
Globe Foundation/Richard
Phelps Scholar Award for District
5.
Out of thousands of District
male student-athletes, Lombardi,
a three-sport standout
for the Golden Tornados, is the
top pick.
Lombardi, who is ranked in
the Top 10 in his Senior Class of
2021, is headed for Elon University
in North Carolina in the fall.
He is one of the top student-athletes
in MHS history,
with four years on the Varsity
Swim Team, three years of Varsity
Boys Soccer and two years
of Varsity Boys Volleyball.
"David (Lombardi) has been
one of our top student-athletes
at Malden High Schools for several
seasons," said Malden Public
Schools Director Physical Education,
Health and Athletics
Charlie Conefrey. "He is the perfect
example of what type of
student-athlete we produce in
the Malden Public Schools and
is a true role model for all of our
athletes.
David Lombardi was recognized as a Richard Phelps Scholar by
the Boston Globe Foundation. Lombardi has been one of the
top swimmers at Malden High School for the past three seasons.

"David has excelled in the
classroom, on the sports fields,
in the pool and also has demonstrated
his high level of leadership
skills through his involvement
in extracurricular activities
other than sports and as a Class
Officer," Malden High Principal
Chris Mastrangelo, who awarded
Lombardi his diploma this
past Sunday. "We are proud of
David for all of his accomplishments
and commend him for
this impressive honor."
Lombardi also serves as Class
Treasurer for the Senior Class of
2021 and is involved in a number
of charitable endeavors
both in and out of school, as well
as holding down an outside job.
A busy lifestyle, indeed!

he biggest rollout of a vaccine against a virus in world history
has been accompanied from the outset with a conMalden
also checks in at one
of the lowest positivity percentages
of all those who undergo
COVID testing in Massachusetts.
According to Mass DPH figures,
just 1.06 percent of the 5,177
tests conducted in the city of
Malden in the past 14 days have
come out positive.
Health experts both locally,
statewide and nationally credit
an efficient rollout of vaccines
for the turnaround. More than
60 percent of people over 18,
nationwide, have received at
least one shot, and almost half
are fully vaccinated, according
to federal Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
reports.
In addition to having the lowest
case numbers, Malden ranks
among the highest communities
overall, statewide, in percentage
of residents either partially
or fully vaccinated against
COVID-19. Some 61.7 percent
of all Malden residents hit this
mark, with over 42,607 local residents
making this list, according
to data compiled by DPH this
week. This surpasses the Massachusetts
state average of about
57 percent with partially or fully
vaccinated.
As a state, Massachusetts has
consistently been ranked #1 or
#2 in the state for vaccination
percentages nationally. As of
press time, Massachusetts was
#2 in the nation, behind topranked
Vermont, which has 58
percent of its population vaccinated.
The six New England
states happen to occupy the top
six spots in the national rankings
of top vaccination percentages.
One of the reasons for Malden’s
high vaccination rate – which
spreads across all demographics
– is the outreach by Malden city
officials and agencies, including
the Mayor’s Office and Malden
Health Department, as well as
outside agencies which are using
grant funding to “get the word
out.”
Phone calls, emails and good,
old-fashioned knocking on
doors to deliver information on
free COVID-19 vaccination clinics
available in Malden and in
the area have been going on
for months, with the assistance
of outside agencies. Health Care
For All (HCFA) is just one of the
agencies assisting locally in Malden
through state and federal
grant funding.

cern whether it would be distributed fairly to different populations.
The term “vaccine equity” is used to describe the efforts
being made across-the-board, from the international level
right down to the streets of Malden.
After several months since the COVID-19 vaccine first began
being administered, Malden has emerged as a state leader
in vaccine equity. Malden is among the state leaders in vaccination
rates among racial and ethnic groups, according to
Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) data. In
Malden:
— Malden’s Asian residents lead the list with nearly 63 percent
receiving vaccinations. (In Malden, Asian residents comprise
22.5 percent of the city's 61,000 population, close to
15,000 community members.) This figure surpasses the statewide
average of 58 percent of Asian residents vaccinated in
Mass.
— Malden’s Caucasian/Non-Hispanic residents, the city’s
largest racial group at 53.1 percent, have a 62.5 percent vaccination
rate.
— Malden’s Hispanic-Latino community, about 8.5 percent,
or, 6.100 residents, has a 48.6 percent vaccination rate.
— Black residents of Malden have been vaccinated at a rate
of 30 percent. Comprising about 18.5 of Malden’s community,
about 12,000 residents, the 30 percent is close to the statewide
average and surpasses the national rate.
A combination of intensive outreach and other actions has
led to high rates of vaccination percentages among a number
of race and ethnic groups. Malden’s data meets or exceeds the
percentages of the highest rates across the state.
City health and other officials have endorsed and embraced
the statewide push for more and wider vaccinations for all.
They have had a great deal of success working with agencies
associated with the state’s COVID-19 Vaccine Equity Initiative,
a grant program which has distributed over $3.2 million statewide
to help foster increased awareness of the vaccine as well
provide guidance to vaccine access. The Vaccine Equity Initiative
works with the populations and communities hardest
hit by COVID-19 to increase awareness and acceptance of the
vaccine, access to vaccination locations and vaccine administration
rates. According to the DPH, this approach “is driven
by community needs and is centered on equity, a core pillar
of the state’s vaccine distribution plan, and is informed by the
state’s COVID-19 Health Equity Advisory Group and the Vaccine
Advisory Group.”
A chief concern of the CDC is that the longer some avoid
or decline readily available COVID-19 vaccinations, the more
prone they could be to becoming infected with new variants
of the virus.
Anyone with questions or concerns or who may be seeking
information on the COVID-19 vaccine is encouraged to contact
the Malden Health Department and Director Chris Webb
at 781-397-7000, x2049 or the Office of Mayor Gary Christenson
at 781-397-7000.

Malden High School Principal
Mastrangelo: 'You have proven you can
handle tough challenges, uncertainty'
By Chris Mastrangelo
Malden HS Principal
W
ell, here we are. Minutes
from receiving your diplomas
after years of working towards
earning them. Year in and
year out high school students
across the country walk across
a stage as their names are read.
They hear cheers from friends
and family, and pose for some
pictures. In many places it has
almost become cliche to quote
Jake. That is not the case in Malden.
You see, the journey for so
many of you was anything but
cliche.
For some it began in parts of
the world that are far from this
stadium in the middle of this
city. For others it began as close
as Edgeworth, Maplewood, or
Bowdoin St. But for all of you,
the path to today’s graduation
went directly through a global
pandemic. For 15 months
high school students across the
world were dealing with this. Beyond
the normal pressures and
anxieties that come with being
months dragged on. In my business,
I am supposed to have
answers, but I didn’t. I am supposed
to have some sort of lesson
to pass along, but I didn’t.
Like I said, I am supposed to be
able to put a positive spin on
things, but I couldn’t.
But as I stepped back and tried

a high school student, you were
dealing with the fear, isolation,
and uncertainty of Covid.
On more than one occasion
in my life I have been accused
of being overly positive. I tend
to focus on the good that can
come from something that is
not so good. But if I am being
honest, that was increasingly
more difficult as the past 15
to make sense of everything,
I noticed something. Our kids
were pushing through. Yes, they
were sad and isolated from their
school, their teachers, and their
friends but they started to push
through. The resilience that our
kids were showing began to
shift the mindset of the adults
around them. The teachers became
the students. We leaned
on you! Slowly, we moved forward.
We were on even ground
and realized that we needed
each other to get well. We were
healing together.
Our lives began to shift towards
a sense of normalcy. We
were letting students back into
the building to learn. We were

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 11, 2021
GRADUATE | FROM PAGE 1
to more of a traditional ceremony
as, once again, the Macdonald
Stadium stands were near
capacity filled with family members,
unlike the dramatically reduced
attendance of last year’s
mid-pandemic event held in the
middle of August. Still, precautions
were fully in place, with
a reduced on-field seating arrangement
but the 402 members
of the Class of 2021 on full
display. The Class of 2021 was
praised and congratulated by
Mayor Gary Christenson, Superintendent
of Schools John Oteri
and MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo
for their perseverance,
patience and commitment to
achieving their goals, despite
the many restrictions and challenges
raised by the pandemic.
“You have shown a great deal
of strength and resilience, both
individually and as a group, and
that will help carry you forward
to the all-important next step of
your lives,” Mayor Christenson
told the Class of 2021.
Mayor Christenson keeps
in lighter spirit of the day
Keeping in what was a lighter
spirit of the day, Mayor Christenson,
at the conclusion of his
graduation address, unveiled a
snazzy, replica suit he was wearing
(with added sunglasses) of
the same attire that “stole the
show” at the recent Malden Senior
Prom by “Struttin’” Ronny
Batista. It was the Mayor’s own
special way of personally honoring
the Class of 2021, he said.
Supt. Oteri noted the strength
the members of the Class of
2021 have shown in their high
school years, particularly since
the pandemic was declared in
March 2020. “Through it all, you
have persevered, and you have
earned the respect of all of us,”
Supt. Oteri said.
He recalled the legendary
North Carolina State basketball
coach Jim Valvano, and his special
relationship with his father,
noting that father and son always
prepared for the best outcome,
expecting to reach their
highest goals. “Go forth and
follow your dreams, remember
where you came from and
remember your journey,” said
Supt. Oteri, who was participating
in his final MHS graduation
day, as he is retiring at the end of
this school year after four years
at the Malden Public Schools’
helm.
Principal Mastrangelo’s
message to Seniors
Principal Mastrangelo also
had a heartfelt parting message
for his seniors in his formal address
to the Class of 2021, just
before the distribution of the diplomas.
“The Class of 2021 just
got through a global pandemic
that brought the world to its
truly unexpected. Covid hit and
we thought that it would just be
a two-week vacation. This class
has missed most of their senior
year, but we were able to pull
through in the end.”
Class Orator Jacob Pettigrew,
the third-ranked student in the
Class of 2021, spoke about how
he has turned a completely different
direction regarding clichés.
“Hearing ‘Reach for the
stars’ isn’t someone telling me
to fight my way to the top,” Pettigrew
said, “It’s a call to action
imploring me to seek out my
own definition of success and
to strive for that.”
The day also featured memoClass

own path, craft my narrative,
and most importantly, it gave
me space and the strength to
explore my identity,” Zeng said.
“Being alone shielded me from
the outside world telling me
how I should act, what I should
be and what I should be doing.”
Class of 2021 President Harriet
Gerochi told her classmates, “I
would just like to say that life is
rable performances by the Malden
High School Band under the
direction of Erin Mazza and the
MHS Chorus, directed by Todd
Cole. Malden City Clerk Greg Lucey
announced the awarding of
over $50,000 in scholarships to
18 deserving seniors through
the Malden High School Scholarship
Association. With the
speeches completed, diplomas
distributed and the smiles
in abundance, all that was left
was the traditional cap-tossing
at the end.
Congratulations and best of
luck to the Malden High School
Class of 2021!
Class Orator Jacob Pettigrew stated in his address, ‘It is a good
time for all of us to look at clichés with fresh eyes.”
The top of the cap says it all.

knees. They can handle anything
that comes at them,” said
Mastrangelo, who was presiding
over his fourth graduation ceremony.
“This class endured a year
like no other class that has come
before them.”
Mastrangelo said he and his
staff went to great lengths to
maintain and continue interactions
with both his seniors and
the other students in the MHS
population of 1,800-plus, but it
was a daunting task during the
pandemic. “I feel like I missed
out by not having day-to-day
connections with them for the
past 15 months,” he said. “But
step-by-step, with a return to
in-person school for some, my
nightly check-in emails to the
senior class and other ways,
we began to heal and get back
to more of a traditional experience.”
Valedictorian
Zeng:
‘Loneliness was my
superpower’
MHS Valedictorian Zi Yi “Billy”
Zeng was the #1-ranked student
with a 4.89 grade point average.
In his speech he thanked teachers,
administrators, his family
and others.
He described the loneliness
that accompanied living
through the COVID-19 pandemic
as a high school senior.
“Looking back, my loneliness
became my greatest superpower.
It taught me how to forge my

Valedictorian’s Address: ‘Class of 2021, it is your responsibility
to use your voice to make the world a better place’
By Zi Yi “Billy” Zeng
Class of 2021 Valedictorian
B
efore I begin my speech, I
would like to take a moment
of silence to honor and respect
the way too many innocent lives
taken because of COVID-19, systemic
and gun violence, bullying
and other unjust acts of
hate that we must condemn
and speak up on.
“Let me tell you what I wish
I’d known. When I was young
and dreamed of glory, you have
no control, who lives, who dies,
who tells your story. I know that
we can win. I know that greatness
lies in you. But remember
from here on in, history has its
eyes on you.” —“Hamilton”
Ten months ago, many of us
watched the Class of 2020 graduate
at home, unsure of what
our own senior year would look
like. We learned new phrases
and words like social distancing,
asynchronous, remote Wednesdays,
Google Meet, Zoom and
our personal favorite word,
breakout rooms. We learned
how to navigate an entirely new
lifestyle as our sense of security
was stripped away from us.
The world around us, in which
we were so comfortable with,
would never be the same. Our
forms of social interaction were
reduced to virtual-only and so,
experiencing the same routine
for the past year and a half has
taken a huge mental toll on me,
and I’d assume, on all of us here.
Throughout this time, a
five-lettered word echoed in
my head. Alone, that was the
word. Being trapped in my bedroom
24/7 gave me a lot of time
to reflect. Sure, I had people who
talked to me. We had our fair
share of petty drama, Boba and
New York Pizza runs and collective
breakdowns over Ms. Filer’s
APUSH [AP U.S. History] multiple
choice quizzes. After all, we
were just young, dumb, broke
high school kids.
But, growing up under your
typical immigrant household,
my parents dreamed of me and
my brother achieving their visions
of the American Dream.
My mother would tell me, “Son,
you study well, go to a good
college, find a job, then buy a
house” (in Cantonese). And so,
this became my guiding principle.
But as I brought home the
good grades, I realized that I
didn’t really know myself. That’s
why I felt alone. I spent so much
of my time invested in school
that I realized my only personality
trait was school and I didn’t
want that.
Looking back, my loneliness
became my greatest superpower.
It taught me how to forge my

own path, craft my narrative and
most importantly, it gave me
space and the strength to explore
my identity. Being alone
shielded me from the outside
world telling me how I should
act, what I should be and what I
should be doing. I had the freedom
to explore, which brought
me a great sense of tranquility.
I learned that I actually enjoy
playing a sport, which would
surprise middle school me
(shout out to my field hockey
team, who by the way if you
have not heard, finished this
season UNDEFEATED – wooo go
GBL champs! Another shout out
to the wonderful captains this
year, Elaine Du, Bonnie Kuang
and Kenny Nguyen!).
The most important thing I
learned, these past four years,
was that I can create change, no
matter how big or small. Simple
as that. And so can you. We all
can. I always thought that you
needed to be the most educated,
most powerful and most
outspoken to create change. As
global citizens of this world, we
all have a lifelong assignment
that even Google Classroom
cannot put a deadline on. And
that assignment, Class of 2021,
is your responsibility to use your
voice to make the world a better
place.
Our voices are the one tool in
our lives that will help us complete
this assignment. No matter
how hard others try to bring
you down, your voice and your
story provide such a special outlook
on life. Your voices can be
similar to each other, but like
our DNA, can never be the same.
Our voices grant us power. You
are the only person in your lifetime
that will know your full story
and truth.
History is the teacher who will
always have its eyes on you, reminding
you that this assignment
of yours is here and will
never go away, that is why it’s so
important to speak your truth.
As much as I love procrastination,
history does not tolerate
procrastination. The time is now.
With that said, I know many
of you are 18 or will turn 18, and
those in the crowd listening who
are of voting age and live in Malden,
I urge you all to use your
voices by voting for your next
school committee members
and city councillors in the upcoming
municipal election this
November. Change starts within
our communities, and don’t you
ever forget that your voice does
not have any value.
We must build solidarity with
one another and achieve intersectionality
because that is what
makes us truly not feel alone
in the world. I know our motto
here at Malden High is “you are
not alone,” but today I challenge
all of you to be alone – really allow
yourself to marinate in your
thoughts, goals and aspirations
– because you never know what
beautiful transformations may
come out of it. Don’t be afraid
to elevate in silence.
Obviously, I could not be given
this platform without shouting
out some of the best mentors
and friends that I have had
the privilege of getting to know.
I felt bad leaving people out, so
I tried my best to squeeze you
all in because you have all done
so much for me, and this is the
least I can do!
Shout out to my wonderful
and 10x more talented co-Art
Director, Natalie Pham: You are
the sweetest and kindest person
anyone will meet and don’t you
ever forget that please.
Shout out to the entire MHS
science department, but especially
Votaw, Haskell, Berryman,
Simone, Webber, Campbell,
Morrison, Kirby and Maglio, for
welcoming me into your classroom
with open arms, for being
so patient with me when I was
confused on every concept we
learned about, and encouraging
me to think critically – I hope
that my professors at Tufts are
just as awesome and inspiring
as you all are!
Shout out to my GMAACC
family for trusting me to sit on
your board and accepting me,
a random stranger over the internet
passionate about making
a difference, into your posse.
Andrea, Mai, Vivian H and N,
Shaina, Jenny, Yu Sin, Monique,
Diana, Johnny and Brendan and
my inspiring co-Youth Leaders
– Aileen, Enzo, Mandy, Trisha
and Thomas – thank you from
the bottom of my heart. Thank
you for giving me a voice and a
place where I felt like I was genuinely
heard and valued. You all
showed me what a community
looks like, and your commitment
to the City of Malden is so
inspiring.
Shout out to the two busiest
people that I know and still
somehow find time to deal with
all my extra-ness – Krishi and
Sheilly – my 4 lifers. Thank you
for listening to me and following
along my wild ideas and giving
me your endless and unconditional
support. Without you, I
would have never believed in
myself to do what I do now. And
I am so proud of you both; you
both inspire me every day to be
better. Thank you both for being
you and also thank you for letting
me complain whether you
wanted me to or not.
Lastly, shout out to my family
(who probably has no idea
what I’m saying right now, and
will want me to translate this entire
speech for them later) – everything
I do is because of them.
To them, I am their laziest son
and older brother, but to me, my
family has always been “my why”
and they inspire me to carpe
diem (seize the day).
Now, wherever your journeys
take you, Class of 2021, I hope
you will always remember my
three fundamental truths because
these life lessons got me
through it, and I hope they’re
helpful.
1. Be nosy. Get up in everyone’s
business, but know your
limits.
2. Try to have it all.
3. Cry and let it all out. You’ll
feel much better afterwards.
With that said, I wish you all
the very best. May the diploma
that you are about to receive
symbolize your roots at Malden
High and the start of something
new. Soak in both positive and
negative experiences these past
four years; they are your main
character moments. There’s a
world out there and your life is
what you make out of it, so go
make your mark on the world.
As the wise woman herself, Olivia
Rodrigo, once said, it’s brutal
out here, so take care of yourselves.
Congratulations once
again, Class of 2021, and remember
to stand tall and fear
none!
But before I go, I know everybody’s
asking the question, everybody
wants to know what
I would do if I didn’t win valedictorian…
And… I guess we’ll
never know.
Thank you! Valete!
Orator’s Address: ‘It is a good time
for all of us to look at clichés
with fresh eyes’
By Jacob Pettigrew
Class of 2021 Orator
As I sat at my desk, mulling
over how to write this speech,
I came up with an unfathomably
long list of b.s. clichés. “It’s
been a rollercoaster.” “Go above
and beyond.” “The sky’s the limit.”
Blah blah blah. And the thing
is, and I mean this with all of the
love in the world to the rest of
our speakers here today, you’ll
probably hear all of that somewhere
else. So, for the sake of
originality and to spice up this
snooze-fest, I’m going to try to
avoid as many clichés as possible
throughout this speech.
So let’s get it going.
When I learned that I was giving
this speech last week, I was
told that I’m supposed to provide
you with an uplifting message
about how my time in high
school was the most influential
period of my life and that each
and every one of you has impacted
me in innumerable ways.
And while all that is true, if I actually
said any of that, well… I’d
be engaging in cliché. So I won’t.
In addition to that, a lot of
people recommended that I
talk about how difficult this entire
year was for everyone due
to the pandemic. And while for

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 11, 2021
Firefighters remember the fallen in 152nd annual observance
By Tara Vocino
F
irefighters remembered the
fallen by marching from Forestdale
School to the memorial
bell at Forestdale Cemetery on
Sunday morning.
“Every year we gather to remember
all members of the
Malden Fire Department who
have passed away, particularly
those who were killed in the
line of duty,” Fire Chief William
Sullivan said. “There have been
16 in the line of duty deaths in
the history of the Malden Fire
Department.”
Each year, they also honor
those retired members of the
department who have passed
away during the 12 months
since the previous year’s Memorial
Sunday. This year, they honored
the following five retired
members who passed away in
the last two years – due to the
pandemic limiting last year’s
memorial service:
• Fire Captain Arnold W. Hammersley
– Engine Co. 3, retired
• Fire Captain James J. Sullivan
– Engine Co. 1, retired
• Fire Lieutenant David F. MacLennan
– Ladder Co. 3, retired

students we had to trudge our
way through hours of google
meets with a world of distractions
at our fingertips, and for
teachers school became a sea
of unresponsive black squares in
an increasingly grim virtual environment,
talking about corona
and all the tough stuff that it
brought with it would be… say
it with me now… super cliché.
And of course, I was told I
should include a personal high
school story that inspires you,
tugs at your heartstrings or
makes you laugh. And while
I could tell you all about my
mental health crisis, coupled
with depression, OCD and anxiety
diagnosis, and how going
back into school and seeing all
of you guys again, even if it was
just in passing, pulled me out
of one of the darkest points in
my life, of course, I wouldn’t.
Because that would be – you
get the idea.
So now I’m here. More than
halfway through my allotted
time and I’ve basically talked
about nothing. I guess, given
the nature of the speech
and the occasion, I probably
shouldn’t have been so focused
on avoiding clichés. They’re kinda
how these things tend to go.
Class President’s
Address: ‘Class of 2021,
I’m so proud of all of you
because you made it’
By Harriet Gerochi
Class President
W
hat’s up shorties? So I wrote
my speech two days ago.
Of course I’m procrastinating,
but who didn’t this year? I think
the other three before me spoke
enough words plus Mastrangelo
had a speech as well. To my advisors,
thank you for stepping
up when I know you’re probably
tired of doing this. Hopefully,
you won’t have to cover any
other classes after that. To my
class officers, we did it. I’ll be
missing the dodgeball tournaments,
volleyball, the car washes
and the months that we spent
every waking hour in the school
for Junior Varieties.
I would like to quickly thank
my mom for being everything
that I could ask for. I could go
on about how much of an inspiration
she has been for me,
but she already knows what’s
up. To my Papa, I just wanted
to say that I made it and thanks
for looking over me. Thank you
to the family, friends and the
staff that has helped me for
the last four years. I’m sending
you my love. Thank you for
making my eighth grade little
dream come true as I am here
today as your class President.
I hope that I’ve done a good
enough job. Well, it seems
like it from all the Snapchat’s
I receive from people asking
about the absent teacher list
or any class events.
I would just like to say that life
is truly unexpected. Covid hit
and we thought that it would
just be a two-week vacation.
Then, it turned into months of
quarantining and here we are a
year later. This class has missed
So I guess I’ll fold. They told me
I was supposed to provide you
guys with some sage advice
as we move forward into the
next stage of life. And while I
don’t really think that because
I had a high number on a piece
of paper that I deserve to give
you advice, I’m already up here,
so here goes. Embrace cliché.
There’s a pretty big reason why
things get so overstated that
you groan when you hear them.
It’s because, usually, what’s being
said is pretty damn good
stuff. So go with the flow, reach
for the stars, follow your dreams
and be true to yourself because
that’s actually some pretty fine
advice.
In conclusion, I guess I want to
apologize. I went into this calling
this a snooze-fest and jabbing
at the other speakers, but in reality,
they’re doing it right. So if
there’s one thing I guess I can
leave you with, it’s to listen to
these folks up here, clichés and
all. This year, I made it my goal
to change my relationship with
these clichés. Hearing “Reach for
the stars” isn’t someone telling
me to fight my way to the top –
it’s a call to action imploring me
to seek out my own definition
of success and to strive for that –
and “Go with the flow” has morphed
from someone telling me

most of their senior year, but
we were able to pull through in
the end. We got some seniors
nights, red carpet, prom and, of
course, we had to pull through
with the skip day. At that moment,
it was a sense of normalcy
because we were swimming,
playing volleyball, football and
just having a good time. Clearly
Enzo did with that fish in his
bag and the bicycle he was riding
around. I think we all needed
that after the year we’ve had.
I unexpectedly created relationships
with people that I couldn’t
have imagined a year ago. I
can’t even express the impact
you had on me this year, but I
would just like to say my biggest
thanks.
I’d also like to give a quick
shout out to Kenny for looking
over my speech and motivating
me to actually write it.
Thank you VP.

INDENTITY PROTECTION
PERSONAL
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The IRS has been issuing
Identity Protection Personal
Identification Numbers (IPPIN’s)
since 2011 in order to
assist in identifying taxpayers
and to accept a tax return for
filing. In January of this past
year, the IRS opened up this
program to all taxpayers if
they choose to opt into the
program.
Prior to January of this year,
the IRS would assign an IPPIN
to a taxpayer whose identity
was stolen. So too often tax
preparers would go to e-file a
tax return only to find out that
someone had already filed a
tax return under that taxpayer’s
social. Therefore, the electronic
filing would be rejected.
A taxpayer would then
have to call the IRS fraud department
and the IRS would
then issue a IPPIN to the taxpayer
to be attached to the
paper return that would then
need to be filed.
In New Release IR-2021-9,
the IRS announced the program
is now available to
all taxpayers who can verify
their identity by specified
procedures. The IRS will mail
a CP01A Notice to taxpayers
that opt in which contains
their 6-digit IPPIN. A Taxpayer
can also obtain a IPPIN by
using the IRS online tool Get
an IPPIN. Each year, taxpayers
will receive a CP01A Notice
containing a new IPPIN.
Taxpayers may opt in by either
faxing or mailing Form
15227, Application for an
Identity Protection Personal
Identification Number, or by
using the Get an IPPIN online
tool. In order to file Form
15227, taxpayers will need:
1. A valid social security
number or individual taxpayer
identification number
(ITIN)
2. Adjusted gross income of
$72,000 or less
3. Access to a telephone
The IRS will process the
form and then call the taxpayer
to validate his or her
identity. Upon successful
validation, the taxpayer will
then receive a CP01A Notice
with an assigned IPPIN for the
next filing season. To online
method of obtaining a IPPIN
is available at www.irs.gov/
getanippin.
Once you opt in to the IPPIN
system, as of right now,
you cannot opt out. The IRS
expects that taxpayers will be
able to opt out beginning in
2022. Data breaches of personal
information are still on
the rise. Obtaining an IPPIN
may provide some taxpayers
comfort particularly if their
personal information may
have been compromised.
Think about how many people
this past year received
notices from Mass Unemployment
stating that they
applied for unemployment
benefits when in fact someone
else did using their name
and social security number.

MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 8
“This is the end, beautiful
friend, this is the end, my only
friend, the end” - A Malden slice
of life:
Morris “Moe” Sack was born
on Dec. 6, 1926, growing up in
Malden on Linwood Street. His
parents were immigrants from
Lithuania and Poland. In 1944,
he was drafted into the army,
where he served until 1947.
He holds a bachelor’s and
master’s degree from BU. He
married Reva Kaplan in 1952
and settled in Peabody. Here
is a fascinating glimpse into
Moe’s (Jewish) life during his
childhood in Malden: “I had a
very Jewish upbringing. I was
brought up in an observant
house, and my father never
worked on Shabbos. I went to
shul with my grandfather and
my cousin on Shabbos. I had
a private melamed, or teacher,
by the name of Reb Slonim,
and he taught a Hebrew curriculum
and prepared me for
my bar mitzvah. My parents
were immigrants and spoke
Yiddish in the house. I heard
Yiddish on the streets in Malden

Circle in Malden, and

they all spoke Yiddish. It was
a different time. Malden was
a very friendly place; the Jewish
kids all grouped together
but I had a lot of Gentile
friends. There was some Anti-Semitism
in the schools. In
junior high (Lincoln) I had a
gym teacher who gave Jews
the toughest exercises to do

bawl us out. Overall, though,

Dear Savvy Senior,
Do you know where I can find cheaper high-speed internet
services for my home? I’m 70-years old and live strictly on my
Social Security and would like to find something faster and less

Dear Susan,
There are actually two new resources available today that can
help you save money on your home internet services, but what’s
available to you will depend on your income level and where you
live. Here’s where to begin.

Depending on your financial situation, a good first step to
reducing your home internet costs is through the new Emergency
Broadband Benefit (EBB) program. This is a temporary federal
benefit that provides a discount of up to $50 per month towards
broadband service for eligible households and up to $75 per
month for households on tribal lands.
Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up
to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from
participating providers if they contribute $10 to $50 toward the
purchase price.
To qualify, you’ll need to show that your annual household
income is at or below 135 percent of the federal poverty
guidelines, which is $17,388 for one person or $23,517 for two.
Or, if you’re receiving certain types of government benefits such
as Medicaid, food stamps (SNAP), SSI, public housing assistance,
veterans’ pension or survivors pension benefit, or live on federally
recognized tribal lands.
Households that experienced a substantial loss of income since
February 29, 2020 due to job loss or furlough can also qualify for
the EBB program, as long as their household income for 2020 was
at or below $99,000 for single filers and $198,000 for joint filers.
To apply, go to GetEmergencyBroadband.org where you can
apply online or print out an application and mail it in.
If you’re already receiving assistance through the federal Lifeline
benefit (see LifelineSupport.org), which is a $9.25 monthly subsidy
for phone or internet costs, you automatically qualify for the EBB
program, and you can receive both benefits at the same time.
You can apply your EBB and your Lifeline benefit to the same or
separate services.
Or, if your broadband provider already has its own low-income
or COVID-19 relief program, you may be able to qualify through
this program as well. Talk to your broadband provider for more
information.
Low-Cost Internet
If you’re not eligible for the EBB program, another resource for
locating cheaper high-speed internet is Aging Connected, which
has a higher income qualification.
Created by Older Adults Technology Services from AARP (OATS)
and the Humana Foundation, Aging Connected is a nationwide
campaign created to help lower-income seniors find low-cost, inhome
broadband options in their area.
Partnering with telecommunications companies, nonprofits and
public entities, Aging Connected will help you search for services in
your area that provide high-speed internet at a very low cost. Most
participating companies charge around $10 to $15 per month,
with no contract and no equipment fee.
Aging Connected also provides referrals to affordable desktop
and laptop computers for under $160.
To qualify, you’ll need to show that your annual household
income is at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty guidelines,
which is $23,800 for one person or $32,200 for two. Or, if you’re
receiving certain types of government benefits similar to the EBB
program.
To search, go to AgingConnected.org and type in your ZIP code,
name and email address, or you can call 877-745-1930.
Other Search Options
If you find that you’re not eligible for either of the previously
listed resources, you may still be able to save on your internet by
shopping and comparing. The best way to do this is at websites like
InMyArea.com and BroadbandNow.com, both of which provide
a list of internet providers in your area, along with pricing and
download speeds.

with a $400,000 state PARC
grant we had planned to have
$900,000 for Phase I, allowing
all the playground and ballfield
improvement to be done
at once. Unfortunately the
CPC only provided $225,000
in funds. Federal CDBG funds
could not be tapped to close
the $275,000+ gap since Trafton
Park sits outside the low
and moderate-income eligibility
area and other funding
sought did not materialize.
The state PARC grant has
a strict construction deadline
so rather than giving up that
$400,000 grant, the decision
was made to prioritize the
playground improvements
and scale back the improvements
to the ballfield.
Councillor Camell and I have
worked to submit a request for
an additional $142,000 in funds
to complete work on the ballfield.
