Bread of Life is a group that has come together to prepare food bundles and distribute them to people who are experiencing food insecurity. Their main goal is to help and contribute to the community as much as they can. Allison Yu, MHS Key Club president, explained how the match was made: “I’m a worker at the Malden Teen Enrichment Center and the people at Bread of Life said that they needed people on Tuesdays to help them unpack bulk food items and originally I thought that Key Club could be a good use of having members go there and help them unpack. “But it became more of a thing where we stayed to actually help them pack the food and hand them out to the people who receive their food,” Yu said.

Not only do they work hard, but they work fast. “I volunteer to help out the community and to see however I can help out and benefi t as much as possible.

Their intention is to come up with a proposal that would most likely overhaul the existing report card system, one that has not been changed for close to two decades. They are close to completion of a formal plan, which will then be presented to the Malden School Committee for fi nal approval. It is expected the plan will be presented, considered, then potentially approved before the end of this school year in June. Many of the educators are from the Beebe School, though there are also others from across the Malden Public School (MPS) district, The work has been going on for most of the school year and an update was provided as a recent School Committee.

Black women are three times more likely to die due to pregnancy in America than white women. This crisis refl ects the interwoven injustices that persist in our communities, from institutional racism to the lack of aff ordable health care to the ongoing assault on reproductive freedom. “Tragically, the health out9 comes of Black moms will only worsen as Republicans restrict access to comprehensive reproductive health care, including abortion services. Instead of working to save lives and improve the well-being of Black women, extremist politicians are taking away the vital services that safeguard moms’ health and safety. “Working alongside the Katherine Clark Congresswoman Biden-Harris Administration, House Democrats are leading the way toward a future that fully honors the rights and dignity of every parent. We have proudly taken action to bolster maternal mental health services, extend postpartum coverage under Medicaid, defend the workplace rights of pregnant and nursing employees, and fi ght for reproductive health care in every state and zip code. While these are important strides forward, we will not rest until every expecting family is guaranteed the safety, security, and support they deserve.” Earth Day 2023 – Lawrence A.

Earth Day was inspired by Senator Gaylord Nelson (Wisconsin), who was concerned that not enough was being done to address environmental issues, as well as by Vietnam War demonstrations, around the country to promote conservation action and awareness. Earth Day and other actions helped inspire the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts. Without exposing this writer’s exact age, I can tell you that I attended the fi rst Earth Day Celebration in Philadelphia. Thousands of people gathered to listen to music and hear about the importance of protecting Mother Earth. It was a joyous experience. Little did I and others know at the time how seriously the protection of our earth needed to be taken. To this day, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 all over the world. Yet the environmental issues that were publicized back in 1970 have not been solved, and in fact many of them have gotten far worse as climate change has taken center stage. We still have so much to do, and it is urgent that we act. Every one of us can take action, whether you choose recycling, stopping the use of Styrofoam or plastic containers, eating plants in lieu of meat and dairy, supporting the switch to renewable energy, or all of these. The City of Malden, Friends of the Malden River, Malden Community Gardens and other environmentally friendly organizations will join together in April to celebrate Earth Day, hosting a series of events to educate and activate our communities around protecting and improving our environment. On Saturday, April 22, from 12:003:00 The Gallery@57 is joining with Creative Malden to host a “Celebration of the Earth” thanks to the sponsorship of East Cambridge Savings Bank and the Mass and Malden Cultural Councils. Artists will show us how they make treasures out of found and recycled materials.

Best example: the March 24 edition of the Malden Advocate and Steve Freker’s “It is said...in Malden” column. For newcomers to Malden, Frek has more right than anyone when he uses the iconic “It is said...in Malden” header. That was a mainstay for the late, great Malden Evening News for many, many years, including Frek’s time at the MEN as Editor (and writer of just about every article). Frek uses “It is said...in Malden” with love and the reverence it deserves. If your name appeared in that column back in the day, you were somebody. But back to why I love local journalism... In this column he acknowledges a couple of beloved legends (Jeanne Marqurdo & Katie Bowdridge), gives us a bird’s-eye view of nightlife activity in Malden Square on weekend nights, name-checks another legend – Judy Spadafora aka Brandano Sullivan (insert smiley face) – and the paragraph that brightened my day – the dead skunk at Maplewood Park and that classic rock fave mention (I remember it vividly when it hit the AM airways back in ’72), Loudon Wainwright’s “Dead skunk in the middle of the road.” Thank you, Frek, for keeping local journalism interesting, fun and alive! • Also, the best picture of the year appeared on those very same pages – the (MNBL) broadcast team of Laker’s coach Bernard Stroud aka “Unc” and Nester Dudley sitting courtside with huge smiles – two famous and forever handsome local icons! • Sad day for Malden when Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy announced she would not run for reelection. Sad day indeed. Barbara lived for her Ward and her constituents. Everything she did for Ward 5 (and Malden) was from the heart and for selfless reasons. Never a self-promoter, Barbara was an “old school”– type pol – a direct descendent of Johnny Furlong, Jim Conway, Paul Condon, Greg & Ed Lucey, Steve Finn, Dom Fermano – too many to name-check – who just got the job done. From my heart to yours, Barbara, all the best! • The Kierstead Park facelift is long overdue. With as much visibility as it gets being on a main drag, such as Eastern Avenue, it makes sense to beautify this very much neglected gem of a park. My only concern is that the Jerry Robbins memorial stone be preserved and honored as it should be. Back in 2017 the City of Malden acknowledged Jerry’s humanitarian legacy by naming the baseball diamond at Arthur S. Kierstead Park in his honor. The Jerry Robbins Memorial Field is located just a block away from the former Robbins family business site. The stone commemorating Jerry sits at the corner of Eastern and Willow. • Another hidden gem in plain sight: the “Jaden-Brito White Memorial Basketball Court” at Miller Park. Thank you to Ward 7 Councillor Chris Simonelli and his predecessor Neal Anderson for ensuring Malden doesn’t forget Ward 7. • Speaking of Tous les Jours, I recently spotted the forever youthful former mayor, Riche “Ace” Howard, sitting at a window seat enjoying the view. Richie looks marvelous btw and is without doubt a respected Malden elder statesman.

More so than most elected offi cials (or otherwise) in Malden. A journalist in another life, Deb put pencil to paper and penned this beautiful missive to the late Karen Anderson’s family: “Hi Jim and family: I just don’t have the right words to express how sorry I am to learn about Karen’s passing. I had the pleasure of knowing Karen for more than 30 years— ahhh such a lifetime ago. In fact, she and I were pregnant with our kids just months apart from the other and I must admit I was so fl attered when she asked to share some of my maternity clothes. Ahh a 2 for one as they would say —such a deal! Lol… on a more serious note working alongside her at city hall I quickly admired her brilliance. She had a great legal mind and knew how to pull everything together. She was one of a kind. The city was indeed so very fortunate for her longtime devoted service. There will never be another Karen Anderson, but we are all the better for having had the pleasure of knowing her. Rest in peace my friend, you will indeed be missed, love Debbie Burke.” Postscript 1: My only brush with true greatness: 1983 – I am “in between jobs.” It’s a glorious midsummer morning so I decided to take the Orange Line into the North End. Destination: Galleria Umberto on Hanover Street. I get off at Haymarket and as I arrive at Hanover and Cross (close to where the Tony Demarco Statue now stands) I accidentally bump into a very tall man. I look up to see 6' 5" Boston Mayoral candidate (civil rights icon and much more) Mel King. I apologize then realize who this man is. I am taken aback for a moment before I gush best wishes to him on his run for mayor. The smile he gave me and the wave of thanks are indelibly imprinted in my mind. Rest in peace to a giant amongst men. Postscript 2: Not a dry eye on my face as I walk into Principal Mastrangelo’s offi ce space at Malden High and experience the love fest thrown for longtime MHS employee Judy – “don’t call me Spadafora” – Brandano Sullivan. Timing is everything in life as the MHS Choral Group begin “Time to Say Goodbye (Con Te Partiro)” before segueing into “An Irish Blessing.” Congratulations and all the best in retirement, Judy.

Yamamoto was two months old when her family entered the American internment camps. It follows her family’s passage from immigration in the1890s through their imprisonment during the war years and documents how they rebuilt their lives thereafter. The 45-minute presentation is richly illustrated with more than 100 family and historic World War II photographs, many of the latter obtained from U.S. government archives. Beyond describing the internment experiences of a single family, the talk focuses on the plight of the 120,000 Japanese – two-thirds of them American citizens – who were imprisoned, sometimes for years, by a presidential order deemed by many then and now to be in violation of the United States Constitution.

Dozens of legislators, mayors and community members gathered on March 28, 2023, at MVES’ headquarters in Malden. Speakers and attendees at the event included Massachusetts Legislature members Senator Jason Lewis (cohost), Representative Paul Donato (cohost) as well as Senators Sal DiDomenico and Pat Jehlen, Representatives Christine Barber, Michael Day, Richard Haggerty, Kate Lipper-Garabedian and Joseph McGonagle; and Melrose Mayor Paul Brodeur, Malden Mayor Gary Christenson and Medford Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn. Key staff from the offices of Senator Bruce Tarr, Representative Bradley Jones and Representative Steve Ultrino were also in attendance. These elected officials were joined by MVES Board members, MVES staff and stakeholders from community programs across the region. Malden resident Larry Pruitt (at right) described the assistance he receives from Mystic Valley Elder Services, including support from MVES Resident Service Coordinator Kerry Kisiel (left). Representative Donato explained that he had two reasons for speaking: to urge his fellow lawmakers to support the legislative agenda laid out by MVES and to thank MVES for its efforts. “The real workers, the ones who are in the trenches doing the daily, daily work for the seniors in the community,” he said.

A U.S. District Court civil case jury on March 20 concluded that a former Haitian mayor – now a Malden resident – should pay $15.5 million in damages over allegations he led a brutal campaign against his political opponents. A federal jury in Boston found Jean Morose Viliena liable on claims arising out of a long-running lawsuit, begun in 2017, by three Haitian citizens who accused him of persecuting them or their relatives during his time as mayor of the rural town of Les Irois. The civil case shed a light on widespread violence that has plagued Haiti, where armed gangs have been expanding their territory; kidnappings have become frequent; and gun battles between police and crime groups are routine. The $15.5 million awarded to David Boniface, Juders Yseme and Nissage Martyr includes $11 million in punitive damages, according to their lawyers at the human rights group the CenFormer Haitian mayor Jean Morose Viliena, now a Malden resident, was found responsible for violent actions against three individuals who first filed a lawsuit in 2017. He was ordered to pay $15.5 million in punitive and other damages. (Courtesy Photo) ter for Justice and Accountability (CJA). “Today’s verdict brings justice to me, my family, and the other families of those who have been victims of Viliena’s campaign of terror,” Boniface said in a statement. Viliena, now a truck driver living in Malden, denied wrongdoing, arguing he took no personal action against the plaintiffs. His lawyer did not respond to requests for comment. The lawsuit was filed in 2017 under the Torture Victim Protection Act, which allows for U.S. lawsuits against foreign officials accused of extrajudicial killings or torture when avenues for redress in their home countries are exhausted. The lawsuit also claimed Viliena in 2009 coordinated a mass arson of dozens of homes occupied by the plaintiffs and people associated with the political opposition in Les Irois, which has a population of 22,000. The jury awarded $15.5 million in damages, including $11 million in punitive damages, to the plaintiffs – David Boniface, Juders Ysemé and Nissandère Martyr – who are represented by CJA, Morrison & Foerster LLP and Dentons US LLP, in collaboration with the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux. “I have dedicated over fifteen years to holding Mayor Viliena accountable for ordering the murder of my brother,” said plaintiff David Boniface, who is Eclesiaste Boniface’s brother. “Today’s verdict brings justice to me, my family, and the other families of those who have been victims of Viliena’s campaign of terror. I believe justice uplifts a nation, and that’s why I have continued to pursue this case for all this time.” Over the course of the six-day trial, the jury heard evidence about how Viliena targeted those who opposed his strongarm rule in Les Irois. Victims, family members, eyewitnesses and experts testified to the violence and intimidation that the plaintiffs and other witnesses endured in the years following these events, and the failure of the Haitian legal system to hold Viliena accountable. “Viliena has committed gross human rights violations,” said CJA Senior Staff Attorney Daniel McLaughlin. “Despite a clear record of criminal acts, the government of Haiti allowed him to remain in power. Viliena should be prohibited from holding public office in the future.” The Center for Justice and Accountability (CJA) is a San Francisco–based international human rights organization dedicated to working with communities impacted by torture, war crimes, crimes against humanity and other serious human rights abuses to seek truth, justice and redress using innovative litigation and transitional justice strategies. CJA has successfully brought cases against defendants, including the commander in charge of the Lutheran Church Massacre in Liberia, the military officer responsible for the assassination of Chilean activist and singer Victor Jara, and Syria’s Assad regime for its targeted killing of war correspondent Marie Colvin. ׉ 7cassandra://4gbCerbpVY0kFHc3c64vLVAsZ6jExJbqDTD1r1zLhp8('`̰d8pS#xd8pS#x PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://VF6hZtfByYZdRc7f5vc6TvwW0yo1PAk5lkTXbAmHENg`)׉ 7cassandra://4Js-QtuuQ_QVV_atn3OI3CYIxV6J6VvhXWNCk0jLqX8͎B`J׉ 7cassandra://_dloeNZjQvmjDBeLWSjjIrpcWiShkjf4THRzBRGYuFQ& `̰׉ 7cassandra://DwDh3bIc2yf1kgzl2VHycRqHFMzYcy8i1ph0ljqSacoL<͠d8p\#x4ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://J6ssG5OYV7Uz792TJrt9eyjHv09HiSKYsTS56gxKTIc"`)׉ 7cassandra://WE_4tX_i7Trk9Qp25rgoR0Pq5plzgCrmyRHdt2vkfw4͢`J׉ 7cassandra://sf86dobP8HEGay8yzQYpTKzy2-RsfDHxWrWvSN92YlA0`̰׉ 7cassandra://cPqnG0VKtg7aCOuAfAeQ6KNnuxhzTVTIG2-B1v9M5Xk* &͠d8p\#x5נd8p\#x<9ׁHhttp://www.roller-world.comׁ ׁ Јנd8p\#x;k̊9ׁHhttp://www.advocatenews.netׁ ׁ Ј׉E Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 14, 2023 MARATHON | FROM PAGE 1 Advocate’s readership area appears below.

As for the second budget priority, Gurgone urged lawmakers to support a request to add $3 million to the state budget to support the Serving the Health Insurance Needs of Everyone (SHINE) Benefits Counseling Program, which helps people navigate their healthcare options, including Medicare. Understanding available healthcare options is often confusing and stressful for consumers.

Gurgone stated that while the COVID pandemic drew attention to this program, home-delivered meals have always been and continue to be an essential service for older adults. With costs rising, the program needs additional funding.

Can you write a column on low-stress part-time jobs that are popular among retirees? Part-Time Retiree Dear Retiree, Working part-time in retirement can be a terrifi c way to occupy your time and earn some extra income. The key, however, is fi nding the right gig that’s fun and satisfying for you. While there are literally hundreds of diff erent part-time job opportunities out there for retirees, here are a few possibilities to explore. Pet Services: If you love animals, consider pet sitting and/or dog walking. Pet sitters, who attend to a pet’s needs when their owner is away, can earn $15 to $40 per visit. Dog walkers can make $10 to $30 for a 30-minute walk. To fi nd these jobs, advertise your services in veterinarians’ offi ces or online at sites like Craigslist.org or Care.com. Or, if you’d rather work for an organization that off ers these services, visit Rover.com. Teach or Tutor: Depending on your expertise, you could substitute teach or tutor students privately on any number of subjects. Substitute teachers typically make between $75 and $125/ day, while tutors can earn between $15 to $30 per hour. To look for substitute teaching positions, contact your local school district to see if they are hiring and what qualifi cations they require. To advertise tutoring services, use websites like Wyzant.com and Tutor.com. Or, if you have a bachelor, master or doctoral degree, inquire about adjunct teaching at a nearby college or university. Drive: If you like to drive, you can get paid to drive others around using Uber or Lyft apps, or become a food delivery driver through Instacart or Uber Eats. Drivers make around $15 per hour. Babysit: If you like kids, babysitting can be a fun way to put money in your pocket. Hourly rates vary by location ranging anywhere from $10 to $40 per hour. To fi nd jobs or advertise your services, use sites like as Care.com and Sittercity.com. Tour guide: If you live near any historical sites or locations, national parks or museums (anywhere that attracts tourists), inquire about becoming a tour guide. This pays anywhere from $10 to $40/hour. Write or edit: Many media, corporate and nonprofi t websites are looking for freelancers to write, edit or design content for $20 to $60 per hour. To fi nd these jobs try FreelanceWriting.com, FreelanceWritingGigs.com and Freelancer.com. Consult: If you have a lot of valuable expertise in a particular area, off er your services as a consultant through a fi rm or on your own through freelancer sites like Upwork.com, Fiverr.com, Freelancer.com or Guru.com. Translator or interpreter: If you’re fl uent in more than one language you can do part-time interpretation over the phone or translate documents or audio fi les for $20 to $40/hour. Try sites like Translate.com, ProZ.com or Gengo.com to locate translation jobs. Public events: Sporting events, festivals, concerts and shows need ticket takers, security guards, ushers, concession workers and more. The pay is usually $10 to $20/hour. Contact nearby venues to apply. Tax preparer: If you have tax preparation experience or are willing to take a tax prep course you can fi nd seasonal work preparing tax returns at big-box tax fi rms like H&R Block or Jackson Hewitt for around $17/hour. Bookkeeper: If you have a fi nance or accounting background you can fi nd freelance bookkeeping gigs at sites like Upwork. com and Fiverr.com, or through fi rms like BelaySolutions.com. Librarian assistant: If you love books, public libraries hire parttime workers to shelve books, send out overdue notices, help patrons, etc. Contact your local library to see what’s available. If you don’t fi nd these options appealing, try FlexJobs.com, which lists thousands of fl exible work-at-home jobs from more than 5,700 employers. Membership fees start at $10.
