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 J& • Reliable Mowing Service • Spring & Fall Cleanups • Mulch & Edging • Sod or Seed Lawns • Shrub Planting & Trimming • Water & Sewer Repairs Joe Pierotti, Jr. Earn an EASY$20 every month.

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. *** SERINO CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY Held in Saugus: 2014 — Saugus 2015— Saugus 2016 — Saugus Held in Malden: 2017 — Malden HS 2018 — Malden HS 2019 — East Boston 2020 — No classic-COVID-19 2021 — Winthrop 2022 — East Boston 2023 — East Boston 2024 — Malden HS 2025 — Malden HS 2026 — ?

Her work often captures delicate details and natural compositions that evoke moments of calm, joy and reflection. Lambias first explored painting in oils in her late twenties. As family life grew and a career in banking took center stage, her art was temporarily set aside. During those years, camping trips in the Maine woods became an important source of relaxation and inspiration.

Office of the City Engineer Yem Lip April 24, 2026 LEGAL NOTICE 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 Arts Medford and volunteers at The Gallery@57, helping support fellow artists and the growing arts scene in the area. “In the LIMELight: Feathers & Petals” opened on April 1 and will MARATHON | FROM PAGE 1 Lokedi, the defending women’s winner, also repeated as champion with a time of 2:18:51.
