Suspect faces drug trafficking, gun-related
charges after Malden traffic stop

A
traffic stop on one of Malden’s
busiest streets led to
the arrest of a driver on nearly a
50
dozen alleged offenses, including
drug trafficking, gun-related
and motor vehicle-related
charges. Malden Police arrested
Devyne Yosantos Germain
after he was pulled over driving
on Salem Street at about 2:00
p.m. on Saturday, April 18 by Ptl.
Blake Ferry. The suspect, 35, was
detained after being stopped
at the corner of Porter and Salem
Streets. Malden Police Officers
Scott Chalmers, Dave Kessler
and Cam Selfridge also assisted
in making the arrest, according
to reports.

Sen. Lewis and Mass. Senate pass environmental
protection bill including plastic waste reductions
Special to The Advocate
T
his month State Senator Jason
Lewis joined his colleagues
in the Massachusetts
Senate to pass the Mass Ready
Act, an environmental bond bill
that takes action to reduce plastic
waste, invest in climate preparedness
and protect natural
resources statewide. After passing
with a vote of 36-3 in the Senate,
the bill was sent to the House
of Representatives for further
consideration.
The Senate’s legislation supports
the removal of “forever
chemicals” from drinking water,
helps municipalities withstand
floods and droughts and makes
outdoor recreation possible
for more residents through improved
trails and parks. It also expedites
timelines for culvert replacement
projects and includes
requirements to inform prospective
homebuyers and renters of
flood risks. The bill includes $3.9
billion in bonding authorizations
for a wide variety of environmental
programs.
In an effort to cut down on
pollution and our reliance on
plastics, the bill would remove
single-use plastic bags from retail
stores, allow plastic utensils
and straws to be given to
consumers only upon request,
prohibit single-use plastic bottle
purchases by state agencies,
except in emergency situations,
and require the Department of
Environmental Protection (MassDEP)
to establish a statewide
bulk plastic recycling program
for products, such as car seats.
During debate on the Senate
floor, Senator Lewis was successful
in amending the bill to add a
statewide prohibition on unrecyclable
black plastic from being
used as food service ware, and to
require MassDEP to report back
to the legislature on the feasibility
and benefits of phasing out
single-use polystyrene products.
“The production, consumption,
and disposal of single-use
plastics is causing tremendous
harm to our environment and

the high school season.
On Friday the Malden High
School Golden Tornado baseball
squad will host a Doubleheader
at Pine Banks Park in semifinal
and finals action, beginning
at 10:30 a.m. East Boston
High School will play the Greater
Lawrence Tech Reggies at 10:30
a.m. at Kezer Field at Pine Banks
in one matchup. Malden High
and Greater Lawrence will face
off at 1:30 p.m. at Pine Banks in

three scoreless innings to pick
up his first pitching win. D’Anna
also clubbed his first home run
of the season (fourth of his career)
and knocked a career single-game
high five RBIs.
Malden High Baseball Head
Coach Steve Freker said it has
been an honor to memorialize
Coach Serino all of these years.
“He [Serino] was a leader and
mentor to hundreds of athletes
and coaches. There is really no
one in this region who has made
such an impact on so many lives
in the high school and college
ranks,” said Coach Freker, who is
now in his 10th year at Malden
High, his second time around as
baseball head coach of his alma
mater.
Freker previously coached
at Malden High Baseball from
1985-1999. He was Baseball
Head Coach at Malden Catholic
from 2000-2012, all of the years
Coach Serino was Athletic Director.
From 2014-2016, Freker was
Baseball Head Coach at Saugus
High, before returning to Malden
High for the 2017 season.
While at Malden Catholic, Freker
served under Serino, who
was athletic director at the time,
and also coached two of Coach
Serino’s sons, Nick and Anthony.
Both sons were D-1 scholarship
baseball players at UMass
Amherst. Nick Serino went on to
the professional ranks with the
Toronto Blue Jays organization,
one of eight professional MLB
baseball players from Malden
Catholic from 2003-2012.
“We started the Serino Classic
in 2014 at Saugus High and
it was such a big success we
brought it to Malden High when
we returned here,” Freker said.
Malden Mayor Gary Christenson
has attended all the tournaments
held in Malden since 2017
and was expected to deliver the
first pitch today.

the rocky shores of Maine to quiet

delicate details and natural

Lambias first explored painting

As family life grew and a career

her art was temporarily set aside.
During those years, camping

an important source of relaxation

inspired by the intricate beauty
of nature and the Maine coastline,
she returned to painting,
working primarily in watercolor
and acrylic.
“Nature is full of quiet moments
of beauty,” Lambias said.
“When I paint, I try to capture
those fleeting details—the light
on petals, the movement of
flowers in the breeze—so others
can pause and enjoy them too.”
Her creative journey continues
to evolve. In 2019, while working
on a commissioned painting,
Lambias felt inspired to write
a children’s story. The result was
“Sunflowers Dance at Night,”
a book she illustrated and designed
herself. It was published
in 2024 and is available for sale
at The Gallery@57.
Lambias remains deeply engaged
in the local arts community.
She serves on the board of
