He did not waste any words when describing what hammered this city and the region early Sunday night. “In my 27 years here, it was the quickest and most damaging storm I have ever seen or experienced,” the longtime Malden Department of Public Works (DPW) Director told the Advocate. “Never saw anything like it.” The fast-moving, severe thunderstorm, which brought wind gusts of over 50 mph, heavy doses of lightning strikes and even hail in some spots, roared in around 5 o’clock Sunday evening and wreaked havoc for about 3040 minutes, before rolling out and continuing north. Most destructive storm in recent Malden memory Despite the relatively brief duration, the storm was, as Knox attested, the most destructive weather event in recent memory. The DPW Director was still dealing with the aftermath on Tuesday morning; it was the worst damage locally in decades. Power lines and utility poles were downed – along with massive reports of downed trees and even more incidences of limbs ripped right off others. Flash fl ooding, combined with downed trees and tree limbs, made many streets in Malden and next door in Melrose, Saugus and Revere unpassable. “We had trees into houses, into pools and on top of cars,” Knox said, “and between Malden and Melrose, over 25 utility poles were knocked down by heavy winds and rain.” No injuries, but 30 trees, 25 utility poles down Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in Malden due to the severe storm and STORM | SEE PAGE 10 ANGELO’S FULL SERVICE "42 Years of Excellence!" 1978-2020 Regular Unleaded $1.979 Mid Unleaded $2.399 Super $2.459 Diesel Fuel $2.359 KERO $4.159 Diesel $2.199 HEATING OI 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

Malden Public Schools ready for reopening in Remote Learning Model Teachers will undergo 10-day training and professional development period before classes start Sept. 16 By Steve Freker S chool bells signaling the start of the new year will ring a bit later than originally planned this year for the Malden Public Schools, but planning is moving along well, according to Superintendent John Oteri. Supt. Oteri updated the members of the Malden School Committee at its meeting Monday night on plans for the reopening of schools and how it will look in the era of the Coronavirus pandemic. As the School Committee already voted earlier this month, Malden Public Schools (MPS) will be administering classes in a full Remote Learning Mode and instruction will begin on Monday, Sept. 16, Oteri said. “I’d like to thank everyone who has worked on the reopening planning and commend them for all of their eff orts,” Supt. Oteri said, noting the nonstop work that has gone on all summer from both his central administration cabinet, MPS directors, the School Re-Entry Advisory Task Force and many city offi - cials, including the members of the School Committee. “It has truly been a team effort, and we are grateful for the diligence, compassion and focus that everyone involved has contributed to this vitally important process,” Oteri said. The Superintendent said he and his staff were especially impressed and encouraged with the “unprecedented response” they received from a series of surveys and community listening sessions held to solicit feedback from caregivers and family members of the district’s nearly 7,000 students. “Their input was so valuable in assisting us SCHOOLS | SEE PAGE 8 AUTOTECH 1989 SINCE CA$H FOR YOUR CAR!

Malden’s newest edition to Malden “Murderer’s Row:” Paul Solano, Douglas Tran, Albert Spadafora and now Chris Lianos! Stay tuned for details. I mention the Malden-based pop/punk band Boy’s Life often in my columns. I feel strongly that these talented young (at the time) boys do not get the credit or acknowledgement from Malden that they so richly deserve. As Malden High School Chuck Taylor–wearing teenagers (along with fellow teenage road crew of one Johnny Bionelli), they took the fertile Boston punk scene by storm and within a very short period of time were headlining all the big clubs in Boston and the North Shore. With that said I am going to nominate the band as a whole for the Malden High School Alumni Hall of Fame once that gets back up and running. On a side note, I have nominated their solo road crew John Bionelli a number of times to no avail. John went on to become Aerosmith’s road manager and is a perfect example of what the Alumni H.O.F. is all about. Or should be all about. Let’s hope the committee gets it right next time around. I know you’re reading, committee! Insert smiley face.

Some surrounding communities have changed and consolidated locations, citing COVID-19 precautions. Local election officials have left Malden’s 16 polling places unchanged and will include safety precautions in compliance with local and state guidelines. A listing on the polling places for each precinct and ward appears below. This year’s primary has a great deal of special, local interest since it involves U.S. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), a lifelong Malden resident, who is locked in a contentious reelection battle versus Democratic challenger U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy III. When the race began when Kennedy announced he was challenging the incumbent Sen. Markey over a year ago, it was said the 4th District Congressman had an immediate lead in the polls, largely due to statewide name recognition of his famous political family. As the campaign rolled on right into this, the last week, many political watchers are viewing it as “too close to call,” as both Sen. Markey and Rep. Kennedy have waged a vigorous, pitched battle on both the campaign trail and in a series of televised debates. Sen. Markey, a Townsend www.eight10barandgrille.com We Have Reopened for Dine-In and Outside Seating every day beginning at 4 PM Street resident, who has been a presence locally for much of the pandemic this year, including shooting a television campaign ad in Malden, has represented Malden and many communities in the region for nearly 50 years.

Donato, who is also Second Assistant Majority Leader in the Massachusetts House, is challenged in the Democratic primary by Nichole Dawn Mossalam, an Essex Street, Malden resident. There is no Republican candidate, so Tuesday’s primary winner is the de facto winner for the seat. The only other contested race is for Governor’s Councillor on the Democratic ballot for the Sixth District, which includes Malden. Incumbent Terence Kennedy is facing a challenge from Helina Fontes, a Lynn resident. Congresswoman Katherine Clark (D-5th District, Melrose) is running unopposed on the Democratic ballot but faces a Republican challenger, Caroline Colarusso, a Stoneham resident, in the November general election. State Sen. Jason Lewis (D-5th Middlesex) is running unopposed for reelection to another twoyear term in Tuesday’s primary, with no Democratic or Republican challenger. Thirdterm State Rep. Steven Ultrino (D-Malden) is also running unopposed for reelection in Tuesday’s primary, having first been elected in 2014. He also formerly served on the Malden City Council and School Committee. Middlesex Register of Probate Tara DeChristofaro is also running unopposed for reelection Tuesday.

The emergency legislation also included one of the strongest moratoriums in the country protecting tenants and homeowners from eviction and foreclosure and creating opportunities for restaurants to serve alcohol, beer and wine for carryout service. “While my first legislative session has been far from normal, it has definitely been one to remember,” said State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian. “I am proud of all that my colleagues and I have accomplished to protect public health, mitigate financial impacts and reinforce community supports during the ongoing pandemic. We also advanced important legislation focused on economic development, support A.B.C.

I am glad to be able to continue working alongside them as our session continues into the fall.” For the first time in the history of the Commonwealth, the House voted on emergency rules to establish procedures for remote voting. These temporary changes enabled the House to vote on items requiring formal votes (such as a measure facilitating the postponement of the tax deadline) while reinforcing public health and safety. Amid a difficult fiscal climate, the House also voted to keep Chapter 90 level-funded at $200 million for key repairs for the maintenance and upkeep of municipal roads and bridges in Massachusetts. As part of a sweeping economic development bill, the House passed legislation to legalize sports betting, provide supports to small businesses and at-risk populations and make investments in affordable housing.

He reported that 3,615 parents responded to an online survey asking for opinions of how MPS should educate their children in 2020-21, either in-person, hybrid or remote learning. Oteri said a series of three community listening sessions on the same subject drew over 500 participants. MPS also conducted a survey (which drew nearly 100 responses) to parents of special education students. “The support and trust that these participants in our surveys and listening sessions demonstrated in our school community was inspiring to us…Our primary goal through all of this is the safety of our students, their families, our educators and staff,” Oteri said. “That has driven all of our decisions and strategies in starting this school year, which is like no other.” The Superintendent said teachers will be returning to working full-time on Monday, August 31, where they begin 10 days of training in professional development related to the MPS commitment to remote learning. Labor Day will be observed on Monday, September 7 and classes will begin remotely on Monday, September 16. Supt. Oteri said that when remote learning starts, every sturecognition of the House’s commitment to a safe, accessible, and reliable transportation system, the House also approved an $18 billion investment in the Commonwealth’s transportation infrastructure. In keeping with the House’s ongoing commitment to protecting public health and safety, the House passed health care legislation to facilitate the use of telemedicine as well as strengthen community hospitals. The House also passed legislation aimed at eliminating racial inequities in maternal health that have resulted in women of color dying of pregnancy-related causes at more than double the rate of white women. Under a policing reform bill, the House voted to establish a certification process for police, creating an independent and empowered oversight board, and codifying restrictions on useof-force measures. The House also voted to protect public sector SESSION | SEE PAGE 10 dent in grades K-12 will have a Chromebook issued by the school to use. Any student or family without access to Wi-Fi internet will be provided access via a hotspot from MPS. In a survey result of note, over 95 percent of MPS reported they had access to internet in their homes. Oteri said much work has been done in preparing a “robust and detailed remote learning curriculum” that will be both valuable and inclusive to the Malden school community, and “one geared to the academic progress and academic integrity of all students.” The safety of the students and educators when there is, as is hoped, an eventual return to the school buildings will be enhanced by some extensive purchases of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for use by students and school personnel and many other safety practices involving cleaning and disinfecting. Much of the cost for these items is being covered by a federal CARES Act grant administered to the school districts through the state. Supt. Oteri said he and his central staff are in continuing discussions and negotiations on protocols, guidelines and response strategies related to training and implementation of protocols with the Malden Education Association (MEA), which represents MPS teachers and some other staff members. ׉ 7cassandra://UVPCXujGN1W2YjERyrhOMFs6wuP5ojGRWWlo4ARbNpI,+`̰_H>] |wר׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 28, 2020 Page 9 MRA | FROM PAGE 1 lost their jobs or seen their incomes diminish. Small business owners have also taken huge hits financially, which began with the shutdowns in the spring due to state and local pandemic-related regulations and continued in recent weeks as they’ve tried to reopen or stay open. The Malden Redevelopment Authority (MRA) is overseeing two programs which represent funding of $550,000 combined to assist both segments of the Malden community. MRA Director Deborah Burke gave the MRA Board an update on both programs at its meeting on Aug. 18. Burke reported that a few dozen applications had been approved for prequalification for the rental assistance program, which provides direct payments to landlords on behalf of those qualifying renters who are struggling to meet their monthly obligation. The program is funded by a $250,000 Community Preservation Grant (CPG) from Malden’s Community Preservation Committee, which includes assistance with aff ordable housing among its targets for funding. Applications have been accepted since the beginning of the summer, and the MRA Director said that as of the Board meeting; there were some 125 applications from Malden residents that were still waiting processing and review. “There’s been a lot of momentum [in the review process] in the past week,” Burke said, adding that it is expected most of the applications would be reviewed by the end of August. The MRA Director said her staff was using two consultants, Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD) and Just A Start, a Cambridge-based program, to process and review the applications. Burke said the program has the backing and support of the offi ce of Mayor Gary Christenson and the Malden City Council and that moving forward, the impact of the rental assistance program will be assessed. “After dialogue with the Mayor and others, we will be able to determine if we could or should extend or expand this program,” she said. Through the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Malden received funding for another community assistance program, with $300,000 allotted for local small businesses which qualify for individual $10,000 grants. “They have to be brick-and-mortar local businesses that have employees and have been adversely affected by the pandemic,” Burke explained, noting that information on the grant’s availability had been made available to all Malden business owners and that the information was translated into several languages. To date, eight applications were approved and $80,000 was to be paid to Malden business owners and 20 applications had been received, with more applicants welcome to seek a grant. More information on both of these assistance programs is available by contacting MRA staff online at maldenredevelopment.com or calling 781-324-5720. The MRA moved to the new Malden City Hall, 215 Pleasant St., 3rd Floor. To reduce risk from COVID-19, the MRA remains closed to the public. Meetings with staff are available by appointment only.

The downed utility poles caused power outages in both Malden and Melrose, including part of Forest Street in Malden near the Malden-Melrose city line. The outages lasted over 24 hours in those spots, Knox said. Power was restored by 10 o’clock Monday night, he added. Another downed utility pole caused a major artery in Malden – Eastern Avenue/Route 60 from Maplewood Street to Broadway – to be completely closed off for hours by Malden Police due to live wires down on the street. Power was out in that neighborhood for hours as well as on other streets in the Linden area, including Sheafe Street, where a tree split in half and fell right onto live wires, knocking out power, and further east on Route 60 on Marlboro Street. “There were four trees down on Marlboro Street alone. I had a crew down there all day [Monday],” Knox reported. Tree fell and split house on Columbia Street The Malden DPW Director said one of the worst scenes was on Columbia Street in the Maplewood neighborhood when a large tree fell directly into a house. “The tree split the house in half; it’s a miracle no one was hurt,” Knox said. It could not be determined by press time if anyone was home at the time of the Columbia Street tree down. Knox said, in all, in addition to the downed utility poles, at least 30 full trees came down around the city as a result of the storm, the most “[he] could ever recall...by far” in a single storm in Malden. The severity and havoc caused by the storm required instant mobilization of the DPW’s manpower and resources, as soon as the storm hit, Knox recounted. “I was coming home from hockey with my son and driving down Route 1, and I knew right away it was going to be a bad one,” he said. “Route 1 was flooded out in some places right away and the wind was whipping up stronger and stronger.” Knox said 12-15 DPW personnel proceeded to work around the clock from just after 5:00 Sunday night until about 4:00 Monday afternoon, answering dozens of calls and reports, mostly on the downed trees, tree limbs and felled utility poles. “We didn’t stop. Everyone worked right through night and we got assistance from Malden Police and other public safety agencies when needed,” Knox said.

We got the streets clear and were able to safely get trees away from wires and poles. I think we did a good job in a short amount of time.” Mayor, Councillors kept close watch on storm, aftermath The DPW Director noted that Mayor Gary Christenson and other elected officials were offering support from the outside, as soon as the storm hit. “He [Mayor Christenson] was the first phone call I got, right after the storm hit, to see if we needed anything,” Knox said. “I think he [the Mayor] knew right away the damage a storm of that nature could cause.” Knox said he also heard from the Ward Councillors of the hardest-hit neighborhoods – Councillors Jadeane Sica (Ward 8, Linden), David Camell (Ward 6, Maplewood) and Barbara Murphy (Forestdale, Ward 5) – as well as Ward 2’s Paul Condon, as they sought updates and offered assistance. Knox said work continues on the aftermath of the storm, as crews are now tasked with repairing sidewalks that were destroyed by the bevy of uprooted, downed trees on Marlboro Street. “It looks like a bomb hit down there, but we’ll be pouring concrete and repairing [the sidewalks] this week,” Knox said. “The Mayor asked me if I had expected the storm to be as bad as it was,” Knox said, “but there’s no way I expected that. I’m just so glad no one got hurt. There was a lot of damage out there.” SESSION | FROM PAGE 8 employee rights and to approve campaign finance reform. In building on the House’s history of leadership in climate change policy, the House passed legislation setting a statewide 2050 net-zero greenhouse gas emissions limit, establishing environmental justice population criteria, increasing statewide renewable energy requirements and bolstering green programs for underserved populations. In keeping with the House’s commitment to the Commonwealth’s most vulnerable and at-risk children and families, in May, the House announced the formation of its Early Education and Care (EEC) Recovery Advisory Group. The group is tasked with helping address the challenges facing childcare in this new and changing landscape, and established the EEC Public-Private Trust Fund, creating an infrastructure to foster public-private and philanthropic efforts for childcare providers, including providing $500,000 for technical and small business support during the recovery process. In July, in response to growing concerns about the significant drop in reports of child abuse and neglect during the COVID-19 crisis, the House also passed legislation to strengthen oversight policies and operations at the Department of Children and Families. At the start of this session, in 2019, the House passed some landmark legislation, including a historic $1.5 billion statewide investment in public schools – known as the Student Opportunity Act. Given the long-term importance of the transportation infrastructure to the region, the House also passed a $600 million investment in new transportation funding – known as An Act relative to transportation finance. The House also passed nation-leading legislation to modernize tobacco control and ban all flavored tobacco, and legislation to reduce distracted driving. In addition, the House passed legislation to protect college students by ensuring higher education financial stability and oversight. The House also banned conversion therapy for minors, ensured no student in need would go hungry by requiring breakfast after the school bell and provided supplemental funding for women’s reproductive health organizations as a result of federal cuts to the Title X program, which was included as part of a supplemental state budget. Helping to protect the most vulnerable children and families in the Commonwealth prior to the onset of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the House voted to lift a decades-old family welfare cap to extend cash benefits to the 8,700 Massachusetts children and their families who had previously been excluded. The House also passed legislation creating a care registry to protect persons with intellectual or developmental disability from abuse. To address the complex health and wellness needs of the Commonwealth’s 1.4 million children, the House led efforts this session passing comprehensive legislation to ensure increased access to services and a more holistic approach to children’s health and wellness supports. The House acted to address climate resiliency by advancing a $1 billion investment – known as GreenWorks – over the next 10 years to help communities across Massachusetts adopt technologies that cut greenhouse gas emissions, fortify infrastructure and reduce municipal costs. Due to the public health emergency, the House and Senate have extended the legislative session through December 31, 2020. The House passed the following legislation over the General Court’s two-year session from January 1, 2019, through July 31, 2020: An Act to facilitate the delay of the income tax filing deadline (H.4677) An Act providing additional support to those affected by the novel coronavirus through the unemployment insurance system (H.4648) An Act addressing COVID-19 data collection and disparities in treatment (H.4672) An Act relative to voting options in response to COVID-19 (H.4820) An Act making $15 million in appropriations for the fiscal year 2020 to provide for supplementing certain existing appropriations relating to the Coronavirus (H.4561) An Act to further address challenges faced by municipalities, school districts and state authorities resulting from COVID-19 (H.4616) An Act to address challenges faced by municipalities and state authorities resulting from COVID-19 (H.4598) An Act providing for a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures during the COVID-19 emergency (H. 4647) An Act granting authority to postpone 2020 municipal elections in the Commonwealth and increase voting options in response to the declaration of emergency to respond to COVID-19 (Senate Bill 2608) An Act authorizing waiver of the one week waiting period for unemployment benefits (Senate Bill 2599) SESSION | SEE PAGE 14 ׉ 7cassandra://_lqAH9Qfz8ho2SLL9Gu_7Nd1DWXjwLs55pJ5fI6-StI'V`̰_H>] |wר׉E THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 28, 2020 Page 11 Malden Republican City Committee hosts first annual “Teddy” Roosevelt BBQ The Coronavirus Count State reports 25 new confirmed Malden COVID-19 cases T David D’Arcangelo received the first award from Malden Republican City Committee (MRCC) Chairman Jerry Leone (right) for his service to the Republican Party as MRCC chairman and his service to Malden.

The ceremonies marked the end of a tumultuous year for the 48 graduates of PCSS 1 in Everett and the 45 graduates of PCSS II in Saugus, who had to shift to online learning practically overnight as a result of COVID-19. Despite the obstacles the pandemic presented, the class of 2020 persevered and received their much overdue congratulations. “Though this was their last year of high school, it was a year of firsts for many of our students,” said PCSS CEO Barish Icin. “Their first online learning experiences, their first pandemic, and their first test of character as they gracefully handled the rites of passages in a young person’s life getting delayed. Our students have already shown they have the grit, mettle and perseverance they need to be successful as they move forward into the next chapters of their lives.” The ceremonies required special planning due to health considerations. Students and parents were invited to a drive-through graduation. Each family was given the chance to take photos at the stage with the graduate. Social distancing was enforced, and guests stayed in their cars other than to come out to take pictures as a family. The ceremony was kept short, with students turning their tassel in lieu of being handed a diploma. Personal contact was kept between immediate family members, and no communal gatherings were allowed before or after the ceremonies. Adiva Daniar, of Chelmsford, was PCSS I Valedictorian, achieving a GPA of 4.57. Andrew Thai of Malden was PCSS I Salutatorian. Gayathri Raja, of Malden, was PCSS II Valedictorian, achieving a GPA of 4.75. Patrick Orcino, of Malden, was PCSS II Salutatorian.

The PCSS II class of 2020 earned $7,835,000 in scholarships and grants. PCSS I and II rank among the highest achieving public schools in not only the Greater Boston area, but the entire state; 100% of the students who applied received acceptance letters to college. The schools provide a strong focus on math and science, and the curriculum is balanced with a solid foundation of humanities and positive character-building in order to best prepare students for successful collegiate and professional careers.

I remembered back to that day (1965) when my late cousin Joey “The Pride of Charlestown” Bates took us to see the newly released Three Stooges blockbuster film “The Outlaws IS Coming!” Best line in the movie by Moe – “Oh, a Japanese Beatle?!” We had a cold refreshment across the street at the Strandway Cafe after the show. Fellsway East and Highland Avenue – once known as the Dodge City on a Saturday night in 1875 of Malden has become a sea of tranquility since the lights went up. Granted they started the project in 1875, but it was worth the wait. Insert smiley face. How bout this “throwback” memory from Mike Craven via Facebook: 1973-1975 C.M.H.L. Friday night hockey at Hockeytown in Melrose. The Maplewood Spartans coached by Bob Rosano had the Bellavia brothers (Fran, Bobby & Steve), Steve ‘Moose’ Kinnon, ‘Tiger’ Connelly, Bobby Doolin, Tom ‘Stittles’ Littlewood, Dennis Lordan, Mike ‘Plummer’ Plumbodis, (the late) Mike Moriarty, Mike Buckley, and Mike Craven with a few missed due to hockey battle fatigue from the ’70’s. Many games fought with Sacred Heart coached by Bob Rotondi. What!? You thought Bob was a one trick pony?! Those guys could put together a baseball team that could beat the 2020 Boston Red Sox! Dennis Lordan was my catcher for the Stars in the B.R.L. and an all-star (he actually made me look good in a couple of games!). As well as Plummer whose baseball exploits are told around campfires throughout the city to this very day. Moose could flat out pitch! Tommy Littlewood could hit a ton! Malden produced some real baseball talent in the 1970’s! The countdown is on! Gabby’s Barber Shop will be leaving the building soon. If those walls could talk! Johnny is closing up shop by August’s end, but he will not be going very far. I will have all the news that’s fit to print very soon. Preacher Jack led a larger than life existence: most stories true to fact – some embellished over the years – none boring. The accolades for his life’s work behind the keyboard continue to pour in. I’d like to share three more stories from behind the veil, the life and times of Preacher Jack: David “Doc” Vincent – drummer, friend, confidant: “R.I.P. John Preacher Coughlin I will keep the flame burning for you! One of the world’s best boogie pianists right here folks. Best of the best. A true rock star. Proud to have backed you on drums. Heaven just got another rock n’ roll legend in the band. Gone but never forgotten my friend and music maker, what a journey we had together. As Jack would say, energy, energy. Will do my best my friend. Love you!” Tom Devaney via Facebook: “Farewell Preacher Jack. I have fond memories of watching the Preacher do his thing Sunday evenings at Frank’s in Cambridge. A true original. I recall one night he dedicated a song to the people in the kitchen ‘for makin’ all those steak tips happenin’ for you out there.’” Don Smith also via Facebook: “Always a good time with ‘The Preacher.’ Hauling Jack from gig to gig was an adventure, every time. We were on our way back to Salem after a gig in Middleton (the old Santa’s Lookout). At the time I was a Sexton at a historic church in Danvers. I needed to make a quick stop at the church to check on something. Jack being a lifelong student of history followed me in. While I went about my business, I told Jack to have a look around and turned on the lights in the sanctuary. The next sound I heard was Jack twinkling the ivories of an old spinet, in the corner of the room. The next hour or so I was treated to Preacher at his best. In a room he said was one the most acoustically perfect rooms he ever played in. Rock on, Jack!” “This is the end, beautiful friend; this is the end, my only friend, the end...” Love to hear from readers! 1970 Malden Babe Ruth League co-MVP Dennis Damiano reached out last week much to my surprise. A very pleasant exchange made my day. In the spirit of full disclosure, the Damianos and Levines go back. Way, way back. He loved my 1972 baseball article. He knew all the actors, played ball with most of them when he was a pup until he joined the Navy in the early 1970s. He also loved the Joe Levine pop up caught with his knees story. Joe and Dennis go way back. Joe, Dennis, Matt Ciccarelli, Vinnie Disano, the late Dommy DiSario, Freddie McCarthy and a cast of hundreds graduated from Pearl Street High School, where they learned most of the important things in life: friendship, party, neighborhood, family, as well as a few things that cannot be published in a family newspaper. Dennis has a million stories. I hope to bring a few of them to you in the future. Postscript: Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition! Ballantine Ale lovers of the world! Rejoice in the news that Chris (Lianos) promises to carry the nectar of the gods in his shop for one and all to enjoy! Malden Bambinos fall to Lexington in Championship Final Monahan-Dasilva is team MVP By Jason Mazzilli I t was a banner year, but also one that fell just short of taking the biggest flag of the summer, for the Malden Bambinos. Playing in their 37th straight playoff series, Malden soared to the Championship Final game for the 14th time in team history, before falling to the host Lexington Minutemen, 14-9, in the title game of the Middlesex Summer League, featuring teams at the Senior Babe Ruth level (ages 16-20). The Bambinos finished 10-5 overall for the season (8-4 regular season), including two exciting wins at home at Maplewood Park in the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds. Veteran pitcher and outfielder Christian Monahan-Dasilva was named Most Valuable Player for the season, going 3-1 on the mound and leading the team with four game-winning base hits on the summer. Monahan-Silva is a 2019 Malden High grad, where he starred for and captained the baseball and boys’ basketball teams his senior year. Malden fell to Lexington in the title final, at the end of an unusual playoff series which featured three games and three nights in single-elimination format on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 10-12. The Malden Bambinos won the first game, 4-1, over Lexington 2, to advance to the semifinal. Monahan-Dasilva (3-1 for the season) pitched a complete game three-hitter with 10 strikeouts to lead Malden to the win. He got Christian Monahan-Dasilva led the Malden Bambinos to the Championship final game with a super season at the plate and on the mound to earn the Most Valuable Player honor.

Bragg made several exceptional catches and also threw two runners out on the bases. Another former Malden High standout and baseball captain from the Class of 2019, Ari Cohen, went the distance in an 8-5 win for the Bambinos over Bedford in the semifinal.

Monahan-Dasilva helped his own cause with a two-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning to take an 8-4 lead for Malden. Other members of the team this season included Malden High team members Liam Jordan, Shai Cohen, Sam Solorzano, Tylor West and Tyler Doyle from Northeast Metro Tech along with Nick Longo and Angelo Robertson.

Lewis supports passage of bills to advance women’s health and reduce health disparities O n July 30 the State Senate unanimously passed three bipartisan bills to increase birth options and safety for pregnant women in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. One bill establishes a commission to address racial inequities in maternal healthcare, another increases options for safe, professional birthing care by licensing midwifery and the third bill creates a commission to study barriers to substance use treatment for women in the perinatal period. “Black women in Massachusetts are twice as likely to die in childbirth as white women, and this unacceptable racial health disparity must be addressed,” said State Senator Jason Lewis. “This package of bipartisan bills will advance women’s health and reduce health disparities.” An Act to reduce racial inequities in maternal health establishes a special commission to address the continuing racial inequities in the Commonwealth’s maternal health outcomes, specifically in cases of maternal mortality and morbidity. Among the developed nations of the world, only the U.S. continues to allow people giving birth to die in increasing numbers, and the outcomes are staggeringly worse for people of color, who experienced a 238 percent increase in the risk of maternal death between 1978 and 2015. The commission will bring ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 208 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA 02141 (617) 768-5800 Docket No. MI20P3428EA Estate of: Royce Williams Also known as: Royce E.

The bill requires that most commission members represent Massachusetts communities most impacted by maternal health inequity, which statistically have been black and brown communities. The commission must submit a report of its fi ndings and recommendations, including any draft legislation necessary to achieve the recommendations of the commission, within one year of its creation. The House had unanimously passed a version of this bill on June 30.

Now is the time to evaluate and take inventory of our open space and public parks. It is time to clearly communicate the current and planned uses for each park, recognizing their use for recreational events by residents. The vision of the Friends of Roosevelt Park and the Salemwood Community is to preserve open green space in this very congested neighborhood, to adhere to Malden’s Climate Vulnerability Plan which designates the park as key to mitigating heat island eff ects and to mitigate fl ooding, to provide a place for community recreation and meeting, and to be a useful area for play and school based activities for the Salemwood School students. There are currently two plans for Roosevelt Park/Salemwood Field. The recently submitted proposal from our community based group is known as Roosevelt Community Park (RCP). This plan emphasizes natural open green space for multiple community uses. The city sponsored initiative – now stalled and over-budget – is known as Roosevelt Park Improvement Project (RPIP). The city’s committed plan specifi es an athletic sports stadium engineered with artifi cial turf. We request the city council to reconsider the bonding authorization at this time. We urge City of Malden offi - cials to publicly review the Roosevelt Community Park plan through a credible, documented public hearing process. Listening sessions for public comment are needed and being planned. This letter was submitted by Friends of Roosevelt Park and the Salemwood Community. Banking with a hometown touch.

This credentialing process will standardize midwifery training and qualifications, provide consumers with transparent information when seeking a home birth and facilitate the hospital transfer process in the event of labor complications. On July 30 the House referred the bill to its Committee on Ways & Means. An Act relative to improving access to treatment for individuals with perinatal substance use disorder creates a special commission to study the barriers to substance use treatment for women in the perinatal period. This commission will bring together the Department of Mental Health (DMH), the Department of Public Health (DPH), the Department of Children and Families (DCF), MassHealth, the Bureau of Substance Abuse Services, and private partners with expertise in maternal mental health and substance use treatment to ensure all pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorder have access to the care they need.

The assets held in this Trust will be solely for the benefit of the disabled beneficiary. You will not be able to draw assets out of such an irrevocable Trust in the event you need to access them. There is no payback proviT If a family, as part of an overall estate plan, has decided to move forward on the execution of a Special Needs Trust, a decision needs to be made as to whether or not the Trust will be revocable or irrevocable. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Which one to choose will depend on the facts and circumstances that apply to a particular family. With a revocable Trust, you can alter or amend any of its terms, or event revoke it in its entirety. You can withdraw assets from the Trust at any time. The Trust can be changed over time to accommodate changes in family dynamics. Assets held in such a Trust will be considered yours, and will be reachable by creditors in a lawsuit. Assets in such a Trust will also be part of your taxable estate. With an irrevocable Trust, the assets held in such a Trust will not be reachable by your creditors. You will not have the right to alter, amend or revoke the Trust. If a completed gift has been made into the Trust, the assets held in the Trust will not be included in your taxsion for a special needs Trust funded by the parents’ assets. Upon the death of the special-needs child, the remaining assets held in Trust can be distributed to the beneficiaries surviving brothers and sisters, for example. When a special needs Trust is funded with the beneficiary’s own assets, there must be a payback provision contained within the Trust document. For example, MassHealth will be paid back for any Medicaid benefits paid on behalf of the special-needs child. The beneficiary of such a Trust might have received a settlement as part of a lawsuit. The Settlement proceeds may be placed in such a Trust in order to continue to be eligible for any and all governmental benefit programs. The special needs trust is designed to supplement, but not supplant, the beneficiaries necessary living expenses. Often times, there is a pourover provision in one’s Last Will and Testament which will serve to fund the special needs trust upon the death of the parent(s). In this situation, the special needs trust is not funded until the death of the parent(s). Joseph D.

Collins Age 79, formerly of Sudbury and Malden, died August 19, 2020 at his residence. Born in Malden, he was the son of the late Michael and Marjorie M. (Skillins) Collins. David was the loving husband of Janet L. (Robinson) Collins for 55 years. David graduated from Malden Catholic H.S. in 1959, received his B.S. in Accounting from Bentley Uniavvya yavvy en oniorior avvy S ior io iori by Jim Miller An Executor’s Guide to Settling A Loved One’s Estate Dear Savvy Senior, My aunt recently asked me to be the executor of her will when she dies. I’m fl attered that she asked, but I’m not sure what exactly the job entails. What can you tell me about this? Inquiring Niece Dear Inquiring, Serving as the executor of your aunt’s estate may seem like an honor, but it can also be a lot of work. Here’s what you should know to help you prepare for this job. As the executor of your aunt’s will, you’re essentially responsible for winding up her aff airs after she dies. While this may sound simple enough, you need to be aware that the job can be time consuming and diffi cult depending on the complexity of her fi nancial and family situation. Some of the duties required include: • Filing court papers to start the probate process (this is generally required by law to determine the will’s validity). • Taking an inventory of everything in her estate. • Using her estate’s funds to pay bills, including taxes, funeral costs, etc. • Handling details like terminating her credit cards and notifying banks and government agencies like Social Security and the post offi ce of her death. • Preparing and fi ling her fi nal income tax returns. • Distributing assets to the benefi ciaries named in her will. Be aware that each state has specifi c laws and timetables on an executor’s responsibilities. Your state or local bar association may have an online law library that details the rules and requirements. The American Bar Association website also off ers guidance on how to settle an estate. Go to AmericanBar.org and type in “guidelines for individual executors and trustees” in the search bar to fi nd it. Get Organized If you agree to take on the responsibility as executor of your aunt’s estate, your fi rst step is to make sure she has an updated will and fi nd out where all her important documents and fi nancial information is located. Being able to quickly put your hands on deeds, brokerage statements and insurance policies after she dies will save you a lot of time and hassle. If she has a complex estate, you may want to hire an attorney or tax accountant to guide you through the process, with the estate picking up the cost. If you need help locating a pro, the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (naepc. org) and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (naela. org) are good resources that provide directories on their websites to help you fi nd someone. Avoid Confl icts Find out if there are any confl icts between the benefi ciaries of your aunt’s estate. If there are some potential problems, you can make your job as executor much easier if everyone knows in advance who’s getting what, and why. So, ask your aunt to tell her benefi ciaries what they can expect. This includes the personal items too, because wills often leave it up to the executor to dole out heirlooms. If there’s no distribution plan for personal property, suggest she make one and put it in writing. Executor Fees As the executor, you’re entitled to a fee paid by the estate. In most states, executors are entitled to take a percentage of the estate’s value, which often ranges anywhere from 1 to 5 percent depending on the size of the estate. But, if you’re a benefi ciary, it may make sense for you to forgo the fee. That’s because fees are taxable, but Uncle Sam in most states doesn’t tax inheritances.

Mason was convicted of fi rst-degree murder, armed assault with intent to murder, animal cruelty and other related off enses. He fi led an appeal earlier this year arguing error on the part of trial counsel, the prosecutor and the judge, and sought a new trial. Authorities said that shortly before 5:30 a.m. on March 2, 2001, Mason broke into the apartment of Michael Lenz, 25, and Gene Yazgur, 28, and opened fire on them as they slept. Mason shot Lenz fi rst, and Yazgur tried to shut his door when he heard the gunfi re, prosecutors said. Mason partially kicked in Yazgur’s door and shot through the opening, alternating between shooting at each man, as well as Yazgur’s dog, for several minutes before leaving the apartment, prosecutors said. FOR SALE by owner 15 Gilway, SAUGUS Lenz was shot in his head, chest and wrist and died two hours later. Yazgur sustained gunshot wounds to his face, back, hand and each thigh but survived after undergoing multiple surgeries and being placed in a medically induced coma for more than two weeks. Yazgur’s dog was shot fi ve times and died at the scene. The state’s case against Mason was circumstantial. Yazgur described the shooter as matching Mason’s build but said he could not see his face. A witness saw a man walking near the victims’ home around the time of the shooting who matched Mason’s build and wore clothes and ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ carried a bag resembling those later seized from Mason’s home. Less than an hour after the shooting, Mason was driving away from Jamaica Plain when he hit a car in front of him. The other driver told police Mason refused to provide his name or MURDER | SEE PAGE 22 PUBLIC NOTICE CITY OF MALDEN LIQUOR LICENSING BOARD Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held before the Licensing Board for the City of Malden via Zoom Webinar on the 15th day of September, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. regarding the application of 110 Grill ET Malden LLC (Name of Licensee) d/b/a 110 Grill (Business Name) for an annual all-alcohol liquor license (Application Type) to sell alcoholic beverages as a Restaurant (Business Type i.e., Restaurant, Package Store) at 200 Exchange Street, Malden, MA.

The passenger in the other car noticed two bags in Mason’s car, court documents stated. Mason asked his roommate to say he had not left their apartment the night of the shooting, and that he had never seen guns or explosives in the apartment, prosecutors said. Mason, who was 35 years old at the time of the murder, was a former member of the Israeli Defense Forces and claimed to be a trained assassin.

Call Michelle at: 781-233-9507 gunshots were “very measured” and not quick, lending credence to evidence that Mason was a trained marksman, according to court documents. The murder weapons were never found, but prosecutors said Mason’s uncle owned two handguns that matched the bullets and shell casings recovered from the scene. They alleged that the guns might have been stored in Mason’s apartment prior to the shooting. Prosecutors also pointed to bad blood between Mason and Yazgur, stemming from a traffic dispute in 1997. During an argument over Yazgur’s truck blocking his car, Mason pulled a knife and sliced off part of Yazgur’s ear. Mason was convicted of assault and placed on probation, and Yazgur filed a civil suit two years later. Prosecutors said that the day before the murder Mason had been served an execution of judgment awarding Yazgur $118,000. Mason vowed that the man would “never see a penny” and he would kill Yazgur first, according to court documents. Mason’s defense argued at trial that there was very little physical evidence tying him to the shooting and challenged his motive against Yazgur. The defense also suggested that authorities had not fully investigated people who might target Lenz rather than Yazgur. Mason claimed, among other points, that jurors were not properly vetted to determine potential anti-Jewish bias. He also contested testimony providing context for his hostility toward Yazgur and argued that his uncle’s testimony about access to firearms “insinuated by negative inference” that he used the guns in the shooting. The SJC found that testimony provided evidence of means and motive for the shooting, and upheld Mason’s conviction. 199 Essex Street, Saugus - $979,000 Open House Aug. 29 & Aug. 30th from 12:00-1:30 p.m. This magnificent and spectacular home thrives with much to offer.
