on March 13
alden’s Annual Half-Marathon
and Five-Mile Road
Race will be returning on Sunday,
March 13 after a two-year
hiatus. The race – formerly the
Malden Rotary Road Race – has
raised funds for events in the
past, such as the refurbishment
of Malden’s World War I Memorial
as well as the Wounded Veterans
Ride. The event is being organized
by Cambridge 5K.
The racecourse, a loop running
through the downtown,
has proven to be popular with
runners as well as spectators.
Beginning at the new City Hall
at 215 Pleasant St., the course
will take runners through the
downtown, Commercial Street
and up Canal Street before returning
to the downtown. Five
loops through the course gives
runners the 13.1 miles – and
gives the families and fans a
chance to cheer them on repeatedly.
The awards ceremony
will be held in the Pleasant
Street parking lot.
The Half-Marathon starts at
8 a.m. and the Five-Mile Road
Race starts at 9:30 a.m., so bring
your lawn chairs down to Pleasant
and Exchange Streets and
cheer for your runners.

~ Letter to the Editor ~
MVRCS board chair expresses
concerns about future of Maplewood
Square Committee
Dear Councillor Winslow:
Please accept this letter from
Mystic Valley Regional Charter
School (MVRCS), which expresses
the school’s opposition
to the City of Maiden’s strategy
for planning the future of Maplewood
Square, as outlined
in Mayor Christenson’s Request
for Technical Assistance letter to
the Metropolitan Area Planning
Council (MAPC).
MVRCS agrees that there
ought to be a plan for improving
Maplewood Square. However,
the mayor’s proposed direction,
as outlined in his letter,
raises serious questions regarding
the newly formed Future of
Maplewood Square Committee
(Committee). This leads the
school to believe that the process
is already fundamentally
flawed. Our objections are as
follows.
The Committee was created
in a non-transparent, non-inclusive
manner. The Committee
is not representative of Maplewood
Square or its stakeholders.
For over 100 years and until
the gerrymandered district lines
were redrawn (effective January
I, 2022), Maplewood Square was
entirely inside of Ward 6 boundaries.
Ward 6 still holds claim to
over 75 percent of the land area
and more than 80 percent of the
businesses within the square.
The Committee, in its current iteration,
is composed of five members.
Only one member; Councilor
Winslow, is from Ward 6.
Three members are from Ward 5,
two of whom do not live within
one mile of Maplewood Square.
There is only one commercial
business owner from the square
on the Committee, but this person
does not reside in Malden
and has only been in Maplewood
Square for two years, mostly
during the pandemic.
The Committee does not contain
a single commercial property
owner within the defined
Maplewood Square historically
surveyed area as defined by
the Malden Historical Commission
Survey of 2016-2017,
which is largely the reason this
Committee was initially established.
There are many viable
long-term property owners and
stakeholders with longstanding
interests in Maplewood who
are likely to be most impacted.
These stakeholders are notably
absent from Committee representation.
Instead, the current
Committee is comprised largely
of politicians, government bureaucrats,
and social service providers
who work in the nonprofit
sector. Are these the people
who are best equipped to determine
what should occur with
the property owners’ buildings?
The Committee does not include
a single resident homeowner
who lives in the defined
Maplewood Square historically
surveyed area or any of its adjacent
streets, as defined by the
Malden Historical Commission
Survey of 2016-2017. There are
owner-occupied houses within
the defined district and streets
directly abutting it. No earnest
attempt was made to reach out
to these individuals, despite it
being a common courtesy to
seek volunteers from within 300
feet of the defined area. These
homeowners will be far more
impacted than those who currently
sit on the Committee and
should have been included.
While a business owner sits on
the Committee and while we believe
he will provide meaningful
feedback, we respectfully note
that the business opened just
two years ago, immediately prior
to the pandemic. Of note, it is
located on Lebanon St., where
there are a fraction of the businesses
that are on Salem St. Lebanon
St. is also less impacted by
bus transportation. This business
typically does not open until later
in the day, limiting exposure
to the morning rush hour traffic.
The Committee, therefore,
should be expanded to include
members with more longevity
and experience in Maplewood.
MVRCS would be glad to furnish
a list of viable business and property
owners upon request.
The mayor’s letter cites the
2010 Master Plan. That Master
Plan, largely created by MAPC,
was rejected by the Malden
City Council in 2011. Thus, citing
it is misleading. When the
City Council voted down the
2010 Master Plan, it effectively
made that report irrelevant from
a planning perspective. In fact, it
is our understanding that it was
rejected largely because it called
for increased housing density
around “Squares and Centers”
such as Maplewood Square. In
the Vision Survey of 2008, Malden
citizens resoundingly opposed
more apartments, particularly
outside of downtown Malden.
Further, during the Moratorium
Survey of 2017, an overwhelming
majority of the residents
of Ward 6 and the city at
large voiced their opposition to
any further apartment growth
within the city. The citizens expressed
support for height limits
of no more than three stories
outside of downtown Malden
(the height limit was lowered
to four stories) and opposition
to bike lanes on streets. Despite
that direct feedback from
the citizens, the letter appears to
be promoting both more density
and the creation of bike lanes.
For clarification, MVRCS is aware
of the results of the 2017 Moratorium
Survey because MVRCS

portunities and support for
people of color by nurturing
collaboration and engaging
diverse people in planning
and participating in events,
programs and educational
curriculum. Last year Lewis
joined Reading town and
school leaders on a historical
tour of Reading – organized
by CATO – that shed light on
the enslaved black people
who once lived in the town,
including Cato Eaton, who
only gained his freedom after
fi ghting for three years in
the Revolutionary War.
“My work represents that
change is possible, no matter
how large or small; that even
a little black boy such as myself
can come back 20 years later
to be the change he wishes
to see in his lifetime as long as
one stays determined to see the
change through,” Phillip said regarding
the importance of his
work.
“I’m proud to have nominated
Philmore as a Black Excellence
on the Hill honoree, and grateful
that his important work to
advance racial equity in Reading
and beyond is being recognized,”
said Lewis.
Phillip has also worked closely
with two Reading teachers,
Kara Gleason and Megan Howie,
who have done extensive
research into the history of enslaved
people in Reading, to
broaden the school curriculum
to include this untold history.
He was also a featured speaker
at Reading’s fi rst Juneteenth
celebration.

due to the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic, has also been lifted
so that the Councillors were
also able to participate without
wearing masks.
At their fi rst in-person meeting
of 2022, the Councillors also got
a special treat when they were
able to take a brief recess and review
the informative and inspiring
exhibit on display in the lobby
of Malden City Hall outside the
Council Chamber of a historical
look at Black Women Suff ragists.
The display was provided by
the North Shore Juneteenth Association
as part of their recent
commemoration of Black History
month.
Maria Luise, Special Assistant
to Mayor Gary Christenson, appeared
and spoke at Tuesday's
Council meeting and encouraged
Councillors to inform their
constituents of the display, so it
could be viewed.
The exhibit gives the Black
Women Suff ragists both the recognition
and the appreciation
they deserve, she said.
According to Malden city offi
cials, during the 19th and 20th
centuries, Black women played
an active role in the struggle for
universal suffrage, participating
in political meetings and
conventions where they strategized
on obtaining the right to
vote. "These heroes along with
many others displayed incredible
amounts of fortitude, resilience
and courage and played
an important role in getting
both the Fifteenth and Nineteenth
Amendments passed,"
according to a release from Mayor
Christenson's offi ce.
The exhibit will be on display
through Monday, March 7 from
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Malden
City Hall, 215 Pleasant St.

Council approves salary
transfers due to municipal
job reclassifi cations
The Malden City Council approved
a series of funds transfers
from the Salary Reserve Fund
to cover some salary increases
generated by municipal position
reclassifi cations.
The reclassifications were
made by under the auspices of
the Council's Finance Committee
and its chairperson, Ward 5
Councillor Barbara Murphy.
"We are pleased to announce
these salary adjustments and
to note the continuing work of
the committee members in reclassifying
some of these positions,"
Councillor Murphy said,
acknowledging the other Finance
Committee members,
Counclllors Paul Condon (Ward
2, Vice chairperson), Karen Colon
Hayes (at large), Jadeane Sica
(Ward 8), Chris Simonelli (Ward
7) and Stephen Winslow (Ward
6). "We have more work to do as

Council approves
new, third polling
place for Ward Six at
Malden Moose Hall
Due to the redistricting process
approved by the Council
at a recent meeting, the new,
three-precinct setup of the eight
Malden wards is now in place,
The relocation of former portion
of Ward 8 into Ward Six, on
the western side of Broadway,
resulted in the need for a new,
third polling place for Ward 6
residents.
That new polling place, the
Malden Moose Hall, 562 Broadway,
was unanimously approved
by the Council at Tuesday's
meeting at the request of Ward
6 Councillor Stephen Winslow.
This would be for Ward 6, Precinct
3. The other Ward 6 polling
places are Ward 6, Precinct
1 (Community Room, 630 Salem
St. Senior Housing) and Ward 6,
Precinct 2 (Club 24, 787 Salem
St., Malden).
The Council later approved all
of the new precincts for all of the
eight wards in a separate vote.

Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday – remembering Richie
By Peter F. Levine
I
t is said in Malden today, tomorrow,
and yesterday...
I am fit as a fiddle (thank you
to all who reached out to me)
and ready to get back to bringing
you all the Malden news
that is vital to your existence
– more hard-hitting questions
lobbed at local polls, more essential
news on where I drink
coffee on Sunday mornings
and more updates on the best
cemetery director in the state,
Jimmy “Stinger” Cahill. Thank
you again.
Congratulations go out to
Johnny “Meats” Mehos on surviving
35 years, five months
and 12 days working as a beast
of burden for the USPS. A few
weeks back Johnny was preceded
in retirement by Peter Myles,
who also survived year after
year the most grueling working
conditions known to civilized
man. Peter and John getting out
with their sanity and good looks
still intact. These letter carriers
are real heroes worthy of our admiration
and praise. John, I wish
for you many years of “retirement”
happiness. You certainly
deserve it. “Meats” is one of the
good guys (not only because he
is from Edgeworth, insert smiley
face). Maldonians, please
remember these hard-working
individuals around the holiday
season. I’m talking lots of
green stuffed in an envelope
with some kind words for these
modern-day warriors.
Vinnie Straccia! Again, I get
shocked by the randomness
and vagaries of this life we lead.
I was not ready to lose you as a
friend, Vinnie. Not yet anyway.
You had too much life in you.
And specialness (is that even a
word?). I wasn’t done picking
that massive musical brain of
yours for more of the classics I
may have missed growing up.
Or hearing you perform more
music. You were a true original,
Vinnie. Loved beyond words, my
friend. Thank you for turning me
on to the “Unifics,” for the many
hours of watching you perform,
for those times a smile would

break out all over my face when
I saw “Vinnie Straccia” appear
on my cell phone; “Of course,
we want you guys to perform
at Saint Rocco!” Rest peacefully,
my friend.
Get well soon to the “gregarious
one” Kevin Alkins. By the
time this appears in print, The
Big Dog will probably be up
and around doing what he does
best. Wise guys out there may
snidely remark, “What exactly
does he do best?!” To the haters
out there, Kevin, I say, we know.
All of Malden knows my friend.
And we love and respect you
for that! Get better, my friend,
with the huge personality not
only because you promised me
some nice Malden Police swag,
but because I miss you barking
out for all to hear, “Don’t stand
around, buy a round!”
Speaking of North Shore
Acappella, I just love running
into the pride of Medford (via
the North End) Steve Gambale
whenever I pop into DD’s on
Lake Street in Peabody. Steve’s
a great guy whom I befriended
at the old Y while both were
members of the Health Club
during its glory days. Steve also
appeared in Street Magic as
well as just about every a capella
group on the North Shore.
The complete package, Steve’s
charm, voice and Hollywood
good looks has made him a fan
favorite for years. I am happy to
call him a friend.
Breaking news...while on my
recent “COVID-19 Vacation” (as a
colleague so cheekily called it),
I discovered the 1975 police TV
series “Bronk.” It is Jack Palance at
his best (or worst depending on
how you look at it). Archie Bunker’s
Carroll O’Connor created
the short-lived police show starring
Palance as a detective lieutenant
who recently lost his wife,

cars you’ve ever seen and mostThe

mid ’70s police work. I just
love it. Thank you, thank you
very much.
Time for Part 4 (and the last)
of my top 200 basketball players
in the history of my life while
living and playing basketball in
the best hoop city in the Commonwealth,
Malden! This is by
no means a definitive list. I’ve
got great memory recall, but
Father Time has diminished
my ability to think on my feet
as quickly as I did in the past.
These are ballplayers that I have
played with, and against, in my
lifetime. If I have played with or
against you and have excluded
you or made a glaring error,
please let me know, and we’ll
rectify that after I have carefully
examined all the facts. All have
lived in Malden at one point in
their lives or were born here.
The list is in no particular order.
Joe wasn’t the best I ever
played with/against at number
one (close though), and number
200 (Joe Frauton) was not
the worst. Again, if I did not play
against or with you in those
glorious hoop days of yesteryear,
that is why you ain’t mentioned
here (or you just weren’t
that good – insert smiley face).
Again, please take into account
that this is a list of players from
my era. Players from the ’64
MHS State Champ team would
not be included – never played
with or against them. Also never
played with Angel, Willie or
Buddy Arthur.
For your reading pleasure,
the last of the fabulous 200: Earl
McAllister, Sean Leonard, Sandy
Mathews, Steve Carlin, Mike

friend, the end” – “An empty

from my heart to the fingertips
on these gnarly old hands
the Richie Cremone lovefest
continues. I really miss Richie
Cremone. I miss him walking
through the door at the Italian-American
Citizens Club
with mischief in his eyes, his
partner in crime, Pete Robinson,
in lockstep behind him. I
miss him holding court, spread
out, cane by his side, at a round
table in front of the bar, barking
out his opinion for all to
hear – most times just to get
a rise out of us – on occasion,
when he was in a good mood,
explaining to admirers the fine
art of the kitchen with his 60plus
years of culinary expertise.
I especially miss the times he
would walk in and quietly whisper
in my ear, “Your soup is in
the back seat of my car.” I miss
that a great deal. I miss that
big slug! Loved that his obituMALDEN:

den Public Schools.
Hogan’s report was made in
coordination and consultation
with City Controller Charles
“Chuck” Ranaghan, who was
also present at Tuesday’s meeting.
There
was somewhat of a siren
set off with regard to a potentially
significant “budget
buster” item down the road, as
Hogan described a “Top Six” of
existing budget items that were
significant to the financial planning
responsibilities of both
present – and future – Malden
city officials.
The largest “Budget Future”
line item of concern described
by Hogan was the $266 million
Other Post-Employment Benefits
(OPEB) liability. OPEB covers
the medical insurance coverage
costs the City of Malden
provides to municipal employees
who are vested after a certain
number of years of employment.
The $266 million was the
liability the city is obliged to
fund for employees no longer
actively employed who are eligible
for the medical insurance
subsidy.
While Malden at this time
nor in the future will not be required
to provide funding for
the entire OPEB all at one time,
it is a liability and the city is responsible
for administering
that figure, Hogan explained.
He said that while the state at
this time is not requiring communities
to apportion direct fiscal
budgetary funding to the
health insurance liability, as it
does to the pension liability figure,
he expects that it will do so
at some future date. “When that
day comes, $266 million is a big
number; it’s real and it’s #1,” Hogan
said.
To put the figure in perspective,
Hogan said the #2 item on
the budget impact list was the
municipal pension liability figure,
which he said is approximately
$100 million. He said
the city provided $14.8 million
in the present fiscal year budget
toward that liability figure.
“So, when you look at $266 million,
you can see where that will
go,” he said.
The city’s chief financial strategist
did tell the City Council
that Malden is in a better position
financially on this issue
than many communities of its
size and in its region for two
key reasons. Hogan said Malden
has already funded over
70% of the pension liability,
which is far above many communities.
He told the City Council
the state-mandated budget
item assigned to the employee
pension liability figure
is designed to increase a minimum
of 8.6% annually. “We’ve
done a very good job as a community
on our pension liability
The city’s chief budgetary
stra t egist, Ron Hogan,
addressed the Malden City
Council at last Tuesday’s
meeting. (Advocate Photo)
fund. When you hear of states
like Florida and Rhode Island
with these pension fund crises,
they are about in the 15 to 20%
funded range.”
The second reason Malden
is in better shape than some
other communities in the region,
Hogan said, is the fact
that a new ad hoc City Council
committee is now in place
to examine and discuss longterm
financial matters – established
for the first time this year
by City Council President Craig
Spadafora. “This is something
that not many other communities
have in place. I really have
not heard of it in any of our cities
and towns,” Hogan said. Hogan
added that a good example
of an item to be discussed
was the pension liability fund.
Due to go up 8.6% next year, it
would be a budgetary line item
increase of $1.1 million, an increase
that would not be sustainable
annually given the existing
resources.
A third issue on the budgetary
impact list is the discrepancy
in the Chapter 70 education
funding from the state and
what the state has determined
Malden is assessed to fund locally.
Hogan gave a presentation
on this sole issue to the City
Council earlier this fiscal year,
this past November, where it
was stated Malden is expected
to pay what local city officials
have determined is a disproportionate
amount for education
funding, as compared
to similar communities, such
as Everett and Revere. He reiterated
that Malden officials have
been in frequent contact with
our local representatives at the
state level – State Representatives
Paul Donato, Steven Ultrino
and Kate Lipper-Garabedian
and State Senator Jason
Lewis – to request that gap be
lessened. It is a liability for Malden
financially, and it has to be
addressed to get the city to a
more equitable result from the
state Chapter 70 funding formula,
Hogan said.
Another impactful budgetary
item in the near future is the
expected decision on a lawsuit
made by a group of past and
present Malden Police officers
regarding detail pay, which is
called Owens et al v. City of Malden.
Hogan says there is a potential
municipal liability for the
city in that case of $8.25 million.
The status and condition
of the two major parking garages
in the downtown district
of the city – the Jackson
Street Parking Garage and the
Central Business District (CBD)
Garage – is another budgetary
impact item. Both garages
were formerly maintained and
run by the Malden Redevelopment
Authority (MRA), which
in 2021 was dissolved and reconfigured
as a wholly municipal
office, Strategic Planning
and Community Development.
The two garages were deeded
to the City of Malden as a result
and are now its responsibility.
The two garages, particularly
the CBD garage, are in various
stages of disrepair, and need
work in regard to both safety
and sustainability. About $3.5
million was spent by the MRA
on ongoing repair projects prior
to the garages being turned
over. Hogan said some major
expenditures have to be made
in the coming years to achieve
the safety and general repair
needs and goals for the two garages.
He estimated $10 million
is a base figure for those repairs
and enhancements.
Number Five on the “Top 6”
list is a new addition: the coming
assessments to the City of
Malden as its share of the new,
$317 million Northeast Metro
Tech high school building
in Wakefield. Like all of the 12
sending schools, Malden has
been assessed a portion of the
funding cost, with that total figure
at $36.3 million spread over
a 30-year bond, which would
make it approximately $1.2 million
per year, beginning in Year
3 of the construction in 2025.
The final “Top 6” item is the
expected, future costs of repairs
and mandatory maintenance
of the Malden Public Schools
buildings, particularly the five
K-8 school buildings, Beebe,
Ferryway, Forestdale, Linden
and Salemwood, which were all
built close to 25 years ago, from
1997-2000. “They were all built
around the same time, close to
25 years ago, and they are starting
to show some of the same
maintenance needs, like leaky
roofs, for instance, that buildings
require of that age,” Hogan
said.
Several Councillors had some
questions on a number of the
points made in the presentation,
with Ward 2 Councillor
Paul Condon and City Council
President Spadafora concurring
with Hogan that productive
discussions are expected
to originate and continue in the
future with the new Long-Term
Finance Committee.

sia, and it was straight to the
point: “Stop bombing our country...
and please go back to your
own,” the Ukraine delegate said.
Wednesday’s salvo at the Malden
High Model UN was a perfect
example of how real life can
interject into real time when a
historical event of the invasion
of Ukraine occurs.
The Ukraine delegate directly
tied the newly initiated war
with the ceasing of any progress
or continuity of education
in that country, with the invasion
bringing academic pursuits
to a standstill.
“The Ukraine invasion by Russia
was being discussed in all our
History classes the past week,
since it began,” said Malden High
Social Studies Teacher Leader
Kerri Veritas, who this year and
for the past three years coordinated
the Model UN participation
at Malden High School. She

said she was “not surprised” the
issue carried over into the overall
event’s discussions.
The theme of his year’s event
is Global Educational Equity,
and a lot of the tangential topics
were related to delivery of academics
in the face of the international
COVID-19 pandemic.
Nearly 200 MHS students, primarily
from the junior year History
classes, participate in Model
UN, and Veritas said it is a great
tool to show real-life workings
of an international humanitarian/governance
organization,
such as the United Nations. She

(D-Quincy) and House Ways and
Means chair Aaron Michlewitz
(D-Boston) for a comment on
the four Senate-approved bills
being stuck in the House and
Means Committee.
“They’re under review," was
the brief three-word response
from Ana Vivas, Mariano's
spokesperson. Mariano’s office
also cited five bills that have
been approved by the House
and are currently stuck in the
Senate Ways Means Committee.
Despite repeated requests
from Beacon Hill Roll Call, no
one in House Ways and Means
Chair Aaron Michlewitz’s office
responded to our request for a
comment.
Here are the four bills and how
local senators voted on them:
CHANGE GENDER ON BIRTH
CERTIFICATES AND MORE (S
2533)
On September 23, the Senate
39-0, approved a bill that would
allow people to change their
gender on their birth certificate,
driver’s license, learner’s permit,
identification card or liquor purchase
identification card, including
to a non-binary option other
than male or female. The possible
designations include “female,”
“male” or “X” which would
indicate that the person is another
gender or an undesignated
gender. The gender can
only be changed by an adult, an
emancipated minor or the parent
or guardian of a minor.
No documentation is required
but the person changing the
gender must submit an affidavit
executed under the penalty
of perjury attesting that the request
is to conform to the person’s
gender identity and is not
made for any fraudulent purpose.
The bill also directs the
state to develop a plan for allowing
a non-binary option on all
state forms and instances where
a gender choice is required.
“People know what gender
they are,” said sponsor Sen. Jo
Comerford (D-Northampton)
at the time the measure was approved.
“This bill simply allows
for gender identification and
IDs as diverse as our people. The
Legislature must ensure that all
of our constituents have access
to IDs with nonbinary gender
markers as beautifully diverse
as they are.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)
Sen. Jason Lewis Yes
BENEFITS FOR MILITARY
FAMILIES (S 2558)
On October 21, the Senate
39-0, approved legislation that
would support military families
who relocate to the Bay State
by providing career stability for
the spouses of service members
and education for their children.
Provisions include making it
easier for military personnel and
their spouses who move to the
Bay State to get a Massachusetts
professional license, if their job
requires one, so that they can
continue their civilian careers
and provide for their families
without interruption; requiring
the Commissioner of Education
to issue a military spouse a valid
certificate for teaching if he
or she holds a valid teaching license
from another state; allowing
children of military members
to register and enroll in a
school district at the same time
it is open to the general population
by waiving the proof of
residency requirement until the
student actually begins school;
creating a purple-star campus
designation for certain schools
that are military-kid friendly and
show a major commitment to
students and families connected
to the nation’s military; and
requiring that a child or spouse
of an active-duty service member
in Massachusetts continue
to pay the in-state less expensive
tuition rate at state universities
even if the service member
is assigned to move out of
the state.
“Our commonwealth has always
led from the front in terms
of taking care of our active-duty
service members and veterans,
but I strongly believe that there
is more we can do for the spouses
and children of service-members
who also call Massachusetts
their home,” said sponsor
Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield) at
the time the proposal was approved.
“Anyone who has worn
the uniform or has a family
member who has worn the uniform
knows that the sacrifice of
military service goes far beyond
the individual service member.
By passing this legislation, we
are saying to these families that
we understand their challenges,
that we recognize the great sacrifices
that they have made and
that we are committed to doing
everything we can to support
them.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)
Sen. Jason Lewis Yes
INCREASE MENTAL HEALTH
ACCESS (S 2572)
On November 17, the Senate
39-0, approved a measure
known as the Mental Health Addressing
Barriers to Care (ABC)
Act that will make mental health
care more accessible in the Bay
State.
“Today, the Massachusetts
Senate took vital strides toward
transforming mental health care
in Massachusetts,” said sponsor
Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro) at the
time the bill was approved. “By
unanimously passing [this bill],
we affirm that mental health is
just as essential as physical health
and take a leap forward to ensure
that all people in Massachusetts

Eagles girls’ swim team excels
in State Championships
T
he girls’ swim team of Mystic
Valley Regional Charter
School concluded a historic
postseason last weekend at the
Massachusetts Interscholastic
a top 10 fi nish. The girls’ time
of 1:44.63 is an in-season best
and good for a ninth-place fi nish
overall. Joining her on the relay
was Albuquerque as well as
team. We are incredibly lucky to
be part of a school that wants to
see these young men and women
succeed and will go above
and beyond for them. It was a
phenomenal season and only
sets us up to keep rolling into
next year. I know I have said it
many times, but the results from
today only further show that the
future is very bright here at Mystic
Valley.”

Athletic Association Division 2
State Championships at Boston
University. The girls competed
against some of the top
teams in the Commonwealth
and emerged with a 19th-place
fi nish, highlighted by multiple
season and lifetime best swims.
In the fi rst event of the day,
the girls 200 medley relay team
of freshman Lana Albuquerque,
eighth-grader Britney Nayiga,
senior Deanna Guo and
eighth-grader Isabella Cirame
fi nished with a time of 1:56.82,
which was good for a 12th-place
overall finish. The girls cut almost
three full seconds off their
previous best time. The relay
was highlighted by Guo’s 27.57
butterfl y split and Nayiga’s 32.94
breaststroke split.
Guo concluded her epic career
in the Maroon & Gold by
continuing to lead the Eagles
in state championship meets.
First up in the 100 butterfl y, she
shaved three seconds from her
previous seed time to fi nish in
10th place. In her other individual
race of the day, the 100 backstroke,
Guo continued to drop
time, fi nishing in 1:01.61 for a
ninth-place fi nish. Guo will be
forever remembered in Eagles
swimming lore as the highest
point scorer – having scored in
both sectionals and state meets
since seventh grade.
Next up, in the 200 freestyle
relay, Guo once again led a
great group of young Eagles to
eighth-graders Britney Nayiga
and Isabella Cirame. Guo’s split
of 25.05 was one of the fastest
anchor splits in the fi eld.
Nayiga completed her eighthgrade
campaign in the 100
breaststroke. As in her sectional
swim, she was out fast in the
fi rst 50 and used a strong kick to
bring the race home in a lifetime
best of 1:13.27; while fi nishing
just off the scoring in 19th place,
she was the fastest freshman or
eighth-grader in the event.
Finally, in the 400 freestyle relay,
a glimpse of a bright future
was shown in spectacular fashion
as Albuquerque, freshman
Crystal Tang, Cirame and Nayiga
fi nished with an in-season
best time of 3:59.07 with each
girl swimming better than their
seed to drop almost three seconds
off their entry time.
“This group of girls continues
to impress me with their hard
work and dedication all season.
This was never more apparent
[than] in the way they attacked
every single race at BU today,”
coach Andrew DiGiacomo said.
“I would like to further point out
the signifi cant impact Deanna
Guo has had on our program
and how much we will truly miss
her next year. To swim the way
she did this season and come
out with such fast times at states
is so impressive. She has laid the
groundwork for what it means
to be successful in this sport

Eagles girls’ basketball team falls in first
round of state tournament
T
he girls’ basketball team
of Mystic Valley Regional
Charter School saw its season
come to an end, falling to
Ayer-Shirley in MIAA Division
5 state tournament action, 3935,
before a spirited crowd,
many of whom made the onehour-plus
trip from the Malden
area. Engaged in a defensive
struggle for most of the contest,
neither team was able to
pull away. As the fourth quarter
began, the Maroon & Gold
(10-11) got within two of the
Panthers but were never able
to get any closer.
At the game, senior captain
Mairead St. Clair made her final
visit to the hardwood a
memorable one with 10 points
and 13 rebounds. Fellow senior
captain Lili Palomino added
six points. In what is a great
sign of things to come, freshman
Bailey DeLeire – a starter
all season long – continued
her strong play at point
guard while contributing nine
points.
“While the outcome certainly
stings, it doesn’t not
take away how hard this team
played and competed tonight
and all season,” said
Head Coach Jonathan Currier.
“Ayer-Shirley played a unique
style which we didn’t have
much time to prepare for, and
credit them, they are a good
basketball team. Our team is
solid as well. I was glad to see
Mairead finish what has been
a stellar career with such a
strong effort.”

OBITUARY
Stephen
Frederick Hill
S ea cap -
tain, artist, pilot,
craftsman,
and much-loved
friend left this
world and arrived
in his eternal
home on February 20, 2022.
His sudden death is a shock to
his family and to his many close
friends.
He was born on April 7, 1954,
the fourth of five children born
to Frederick and Theresa (Procopio)
Hill. His first day was off to
a rough start with several unexpected
birth complications. He
was rushed to Children's Hospital,
fighting for his life, and to
the doctors' amazement, he survived!
He grew up in Malden,
an inquisitive kid always full of
ideas. As hard as it is to believe
now, his parents were alarmed
that he couldn't say a word 'til
he was 3 years old, and then
he jumped right into talking in
complete sentences.
Stephen was prayed for before
he was born, and his mom
and dad raised the family under
the guidance of the Bible which
was read in their home each
day. It was here that he learned
about Jesus, believed the Gospel
and received the promise of
everlasting life, which he is enjoying
right now. The family was
hospitable; there was always
room for extra people around
the table, and an unspoken credo
that food was at the ready for
"company." Unexpected visitors,
missionaries, and friends were
welcomed day or night--no exaggeration.
That
generous lifestyle paved
the way for Stephen's legendary
meal creations – his amazing
dinners for friends on land or
on the water, for every occasion
and celebration; or whipping up
a gourmet supper on an ordinary

POST ELIGIBILITY
TREATMENT
OF INCOME
MassHealth issued Eligibility
Operations Memo 21-13 outlining
the post eligibility treatment
of income (PETI) process
for MassHealth members enrolled
in the Program of All-Inclusive
Care for the Elderly
(PACE) and who had income
at or below 300% of the Federal
Benefit Rate (FBR) at the
time of the member’s initial
MassHealth eligibility determination.
PETI
rules are used to calculate
a member’s contribution
to the cost of care in a
community MassHealth situation
(as opposed to someone
on MassHealth in a nursing
home).
For PACE members who
had initially been approved
for MassHealth benefits with
income at or below 300% of
the FBR, but who later experience
an increase in countable
income, causing their income
to exceed 300% of the FBR,
they may retain their MassHealth
Standard benefit and
remain enrolled in PACE by
spending the excess income
on medical expenses in order
to reduce their countable
income to 300% of the FBR.
These members will be subject
to a monthly patient pay
amount that is equal to their
excess income over 300% of
the FBR, less any allowable deductions.
Community MassHealth
programs such as the
Frail Elder Waiver Program and
the PACE Program are subject
to income limits. When you
initially apply for one of these
programs, your income needs
to be below the required level.
For 2022, 300% of the federal
benefit rate is $2,523, as
the FBR for a single person for
2022 is $841. Therefore, your
income must be below $2,523
in order to initially qualify for
the PACE program.
This Eligibility Operations
Memo was effective on July
14, 2021. It is important to
know that someone enrolled
in the PACE program will not
become ineligible simply because
of an increase in countable
income, regardless of
the source of the income.
Rather, MassHealth will simply
calculate how much of
the excess income will have
to be spent down on medical
care. Therefore, if you initially
qualify for the PACE program
as a result of your countable
income being at or below
300% of the FBR, you
should be able to continue
in the PACE program even if
your income subsequently increases
and puts you over that
level.

OBITUARY
Pauline “Polly”
Shea
Following 101
years of love,
laughter, and inspiration,
the last
of the beautiful
Shea sisters of
Malden, Pauline
(Polly), entered eternal life on
February 28, 2022. She joined
her beloved sisters Mary Richmond
and Barbara Driscoll as
well as brother Peter, along with
their parents Honora (Regan)
and John J. Shea.
Strong-willed, smart, and
sassy with a huge heart and
boundless energy, Polly was a
force. She seized each day with
determination and enthusiasm,
always dressed with flair, and
ensured that everyone she met
left her presence feeling better
than before their encounter. Polly
was a consummate storyteller
and the heart and soul of every
social gathering she attended
(and she never declined an
invitation). She spoiled everyone
around her, treating family,
friends, and those she hadn’t
quite yet met (there were no
strangers) to coffee at Melrose’s
former Breads ‘n’ Bits of Ireland
and D’Amici’s and so much
more. She modeled self-care,
calling it “Be Good to Polly Day”
and wanted everyone around
her to do the same for themselves.
Her zest for life, service
to others, wit, and wisdom were
experienced by so many and beloved
by all. There was only one
Polly Shea.
Born only three years after
World War I, as a young teenager,
Polly assumed the role of maternal
caretaker following the
untimely death of her mother.
She helped her father raise her
younger sisters and manage the
household while completing
her education at Cheverus High
School and business school; at
which time she worked her way
up the administrative ladder at
the John Hancock Life Insurance
Co. in Malden retiring as Office
Supervisor, one of the first women
to hold that position.
She leaves her beloved nieces
and nephews Sheila Driscoll and
Cliff Brown, Colleen and Scott

Kinder, James (Jeff) and Margaret

and Julie and Francis (Fran) Nolan.
She is also survived by her
great-nieces and -nephews Alyssa,
Ashley, John Peter, Ryan,
Andrew, Lizzie, Claire, Dylan,
Frankie, Marissa, and Danny as
well as three great-grandnieces
and two great-grandnephews.

students performed the data
entry for most survey responses
after a volunteer request from
the mayor’s Office. At the project’s
completion, the report was
provided to the school for documentation
of student hours.
Although MAPC is a decent organization,
its conflicts on this
matter cannot be ignored.
MAPC is effectively an arm of
the State of Massachusetts and
has a stated agenda. It cannot
possibly be an unbiased arbiter
in this process.
Its mission is to “promote Smart
Growth,” achieved, in large part,
by lobbying cities and towns to
adopt the state’s housing agenda.
That agenda has established
a target for Malden to add over
6,900 housing units by 2030.
The implementation of MAPC’s
agenda will exacerbate current
traffic concerns in Maplewood
Square to a far greater extent
than MVRCS’s planned growth.
Traffic congestion is almost always
cited as a problem in Maplewood
Square, and, in the
last decade, MVRCS has added
almost none, due to an enrollment
cap that was only recently
increased. We acknowledge that
traffic is increasingly problematic
during rush hour and other times
during school days. Schools like
MVRCS, however, have not collectively
added any traffic to the
Salem St. corridor in the last decade.
What has, in fact, compounded
problems with traffic
congestion is the city, in many
respects steered by planners
from MAPC, introducing more
than 3,000 housing units (many
on the east side of town in the
Overlook Ridge Development).
This growth has filled our streets
with thousands of cars each day.
Creating many more housing
units in the City of Malden, one
of the five most densely populated
cities in the Commonwealth,
is not the answer for
Malden nor Maplewood.

With the 2009 Land Use Plan,
the 2010 Master Plan, and the
attempted 2018 Housing Needs
Analysis, MAPC has demonstrated
that it is unable to act in a
manner not in accordance with
its mission when it conducts
such work for the city. MAPC has
a well-documented track record
of producing results that are
consistent with its mission and
organizational goals, rather than
what the majority of the citizens
of Malden would prefer.
Because MAPC cannot ignore
its mission, we believe the city
should seek an unbiased private
planning entity to provide
technical assistance in creating
the neighborhood plan.
It is surprising and insulting
that MVRCS was not invited to
participate in the February 28,
2022 meeting of the Future of

particularly given that MVRCS
is currently engaging in productive

School contracts with the United

guide the participation in the
event.
Included were UNAGB Education
Director Emma Belza, Director
of Development & Community
Outreach Alex Bostian
and Education Program Manager
Alexander Beatty, among
others on hand. “They do a tremendous
job,” Veritas said of
the UNAGB staff. UNAGB staff
leaders were seen encouraging
swift responses to a variety of
opinions and statements made
among the delegates, with over
40 students assigned to represent
various nations at each of
the multiple daylong sessions
this week.
In a spirited debate on
Wednesday, in one of the two
sites, the MHS library, Beatty
helped student-delegates break
down the debates into which
countries were able to offer assistance
to other nations, and
others who were seeking assistance
– and in what forms. All of
this was connected to the overlying
thematic issue of Global
Educational Equity.
“The Model UN is one of the
activities our students really look
forward to each year and it is
such a valuable addition that enhances
our curriculum,” said Malden
High Principal Chris Mastrangelo.
“We are grateful to Ms.
Veritas and her colleagues in the
Social Studies department for
coordinating Model UN as well
our partners at United Nations
Association of Greater Boston
for all of their assistance.”

ary noted that he was a “proud
Edgeworthian.” He probably
lived longer in Wakefi eld than
he did in Malden but, darn it,
Edgeworth is a very special
place; a place that once it gets
in your blood, you never cease
being from that tiny piece of
real estate we called our neighborhood.
(On a side note, my
father was a West End guy to
the core although he left there
in 1960 after only 29 years. He
lived in Malden some 60 years
but never considered himself
a Maldonian. West End forever,
as they say).
I did not write his amazing
obit but somebody asked me if
I did. Particularly this line, which
I could not have written any better
(and wish I did): “Initially, he
worked as a milkman with his
father at Sunnyhurst Dairy, but
soon found his calling at Tricca’s,
Anthony’s, and Brandano’s
restaurants, where he built
a reputation as a hardworking
and talented chef whose food
brought people together and
buttons apart.”
I was one of the many, many
people that enjoyed Richie’s
cooking over the years (and
yes, for you wise guys, there
are a few of my buttons missing
along the way). I wholeheartedly
agree that Richie
used his remarkable ability to
connect with people through
his culinary skills. His spectacular
soups along with other outstanding
dishes, like stuff ed artichokes
and his Abruzzi sauce,
did indeed secure the ties that
bind to a generation of Maldonians
and beyond. Once again,
I completely agree, his concoction,
skiffyskaf, happily filled
the ever-expanding bellies of
countless contented people
over the years. (What do you
say, Dom?)
Postscript 1: My sincerest condolences
to his wife Toni Marie
and two daughters Lindsay and
Julie Ann. The line “they will never
fully recover from the loss of
their devoted and doting father”
really struck a chord with me.
Richie was a very proud father.
He spoke of his family often. He
loved his daughters and simply
adored his grandchildren. That
is for sure.
Postscript 2: “Happy trails
to you (Richie), until we meet
again, happy trails to you, keep
smiling until then...” To me, my
friend, it was always the way you
rode the trail that impressed
me. Life carries on, dude (not
quite the same though), and
our love for you will continue.
Keeping you in my thoughts
and my heart every Ballantine
Ale along the happy trail, big
guy. Love ya, Richie!

Scared of Shingles
Dear Scared,
Great question! Many healthcare professionals across the country
have been urging their older patients to get the shingles vaccine
(in addition to the COVID-19 vaccinations) during the pandemic
because getting COVID-19 can increase your chances of
developing shingles. And the more severe case of COVID you get,
the greater your risk for shingles.
The reason for this is because when you contract COVID-19
your immune system becomes compromised fi ghting off the virus,
which gives shingles – a virus that already exist in your body
if you’ve had chickenpox – a chance to reactivate.
Here’s what you should know about shingles, the shingles vaccine,
and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
recommendations.
What are Shingles?
Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a burning, blistering
skin rash that aff ects around 1 million Americans each year. The
same virus that causes chickenpox causes shingles. What happens
is the chickenpox virus that most people get as kids never leaves
the body. It hides in the nerve cells near the spinal cord and, for
some people, emerges later in the form of shingles.
In the U.S., about one out of every three people will develop
shingles during their lifetime. While anyone who’s had chickenpox
can get shingles, it most commonly occurs in people over age
50, along with people who have weakened immune systems. But
you can’t catch shingles from someone else.
Early signs of the disease include pain, itching or tingling before
a blistering rash appears several days later, and can last up
to four weeks. The rash typically occurs on one side of the body,
often as a band of blisters that extends from the middle of your
back around to the breastbone. It can also appear above an eye
or on the side of the face or neck.
In addition to the rash, about 20 to 25 percent of those who get
shingles go on to develop severe nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia,
or PHN) that can last for months or even years. And in rare
cases, shingles can also cause strokes, encephalitis, spinal cord
damage and vision loss.
Shingles Vaccine
The vaccine for shingles called Shingrix (see Shingrix.com) provides
much better protection than the old shingles vaccine, Zostavax.
Manufactured
by GlaxoSmithKline, Shingrix is 97 percent effective
in preventing shingles in people 50 to 69 years old, and
91 percent eff ective in those 70 and older.
Shingrix also does a terrifi c job of preventing nerve pain that
continues after a shingles rash has cleared – about 90 percent
eff ective.
Because of this protection, the CDC recommends that everyone
age 50 and older, receive the Shingrix vaccine, which is given
in two doses, separated by two to six months.
Even if you’ve already had shingles, you still need these vaccinations
because reoccurring cases are possible. The CDC also recommends
that anyone previously vaccinated with Zostavax be
revaccinated with Shingrix.
You should also know that Shingrix can cause some adverse
side eff ects for some people, including muscle pain, fatigue, headache,
fever and upset stomach.
Shingrix – which averages around $205 for both doses – is covered
by most private health insurance plans including Medicare
Part D prescription drug plans, but there may be a cost to you depending
on your plan. Contact your insurer to fi nd out.

Can COVID-19
Cause Shingles?
Dear Savvy Senior,
How eff ective is the shingles vaccine and what is the CDC recommendation
for getting it? My older brother and sister, both in their
fi fties, got COVID a few months back followed by shingles. Do you
know if there is a connection between these viruses, and would the
shingles vaccine have protected them?

ate 38-1, approved legislation
that would require that all public
schools offering a comprehensive
sexual health education
curriculum “provide medically
accurate, age-appropriate
sexual health education.”
Under current law, public
schools are not required to
teach sex education and the bill
does not change that but rather
mandates that any schools
that choose to teach sex education
are required to follow a
curriculum, based on age, that
includes human anatomy, reproduction
and sexual development;
the benefits of abstinence
and delaying sexual activity; the
importance of effectively using
contraceptives to prevent unintended
pregnancy and sexually
transmitted diseases, including
HIV and AIDS; ways to effectively
discuss safe sexual activity; relationship
and communication
~ LEGAL NOTICE ~
skills to form healthy, respectful
relationships free of violence,
coercion and intimidation; and
information about gender identity
and sexual orientation for all
students, including recognition
that people have different sexual
orientations, gender identities
and gender expressions.
The measure also requires
any school offering sex education
to notify parents about the
school’s sex education curriculum
and gives parents the right
to withdraw a student from the
instruction. Another provision
creates a process for parents to
inspect the program instruction
materials prior to the start
of the course.
Supporters said that under
the bill, local cities and towns
still have the authority and power
to decide whether sex education
is taught in their schools.
They said the measure will ensure
that schools that choose to
teach sex education will have a
framework to follow. They noted
the bill will prepare students to
make healthy decisions and will
reduce teen pregnancy and sexually
transmitted diseases.
“I am very proud that the Massachusetts
Senate has once
again reaffirmed our commitment
to this commonsense
healthy policy that will ensure
our youth have the tools needed
to protect their health and form
respectful relationships,” said
sponsor Sen. Sal DiDomenico
(D-Everett) at the time the legislation
was approved. “This legislation
makes it clear that sex education
in the commonwealth
must be inclusive for all students
and emphasize the importance
and necessity of consent.
“This is a highly controversial
bill, as demonstrated by the fact
that it has failed to pass for multiple
sessions,” said Sen. Ryan
Fattman (R-Sutton) at the time
the measure was approved. He
was the only senator who voted
against the bill. “If this legislation
is to pass into law, it would
be a direct usurpation of the local
school district’s decision-making
abilities. Each community has different
needs based on their specific
demographics, which is why
they should have the ability to
decide their curriculum. By mandating
a statewide sex education
curriculum, you directly take
away the ability of a community
to decide how sensitive topics
like sex education are taught.”
“It is quite troubling that our
elected officials think taking local
control away from school districts
and parents regarding sex
ed curriculum is a good idea,”
said Andrew Beckwith, executive
director of the Massachusetts
Family Institute. “And even worse
is the type of graphic content
they want to push on students

HOW LONG WAS LAST
WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill
Roll Call tracks the length of time
that the House and Senate were
in session each week. Many legislators
say that legislative sessions
are only one aspect of the
Legislature's job and that a lot of
important work is done outside
of the House and Senate chambers.
They note that their jobs
also involve committee work,
research, constituent work and
other matters that are important
to their districts. Critics say that
the Legislature does not meet
regularly or long enough to debate
and vote in public view on
the thousands of pieces of legislation
that have been filed. They
note that the infrequency and
brief length of sessions are misguided
and lead to irresponsible
late-night sessions and a mad
rush to act on dozens of bills in
the days immediately preceding
the end of an annual session.

MS-13 leader sentenced
to 15 years in prison
for RICO Conspiracy
D
javier Duggins, 32, of Lynn,
the leader of a local MS-13
clique, was recently sentenced
to 15 years in prison and three
years of supervised release after
pleading guilty to racketeering
(RICO) conspiracy.
MS-13 is organized into
branches operating in local territories.
Duggins was a “homeboy”
(full member) of the MS13
gang and the leader of
the Sykos Locos Salvatrucha
(Sykos) clique of MS-13 for
nearly 10 years. Achieving promotion
to “homeboy” in MS-13
generally requires the commission
of a signifi cant act of violence,
often including murder.
As part of his leadership role,
Duggins personally recruited,
mentored and encouraged
younger clique members to
commit violence on behalf of
MS-13.
The evidence in this case
showed that Duggins had
been a leader of MS-13 since
approximately 2006 and was
part of the core group of MS13
members who helped build
up the Sykos clique of MS-13
in Lynn. In 2012, Duggins and
another member of the Sykos
clique participated in an attempted
murder during which
Duggins stabbed a victim multiple
times on a public street.
For that crime, Duggins was
prosecuted in state court for
armed assault with intent to
murder and other charges and
was sentenced to 54 months in
state prison.
An investigation revealed
that after Duggins was released
from state prison in
2016 he went back to associating
with MS-13 and helped

generation of the gang. For example,
upon learning of a 2016
murder committed by codefendant

his release from state prison
in 2016. During his leadership,
members of the Sykos clique
continued to engage in racketeering
activity and violence
on behalf of MS-13.
On July 30, 2018, six members
of the Sykos clique participated
in a horrifi c murder in Lynn
where they lured a teenage victim
to a playground pretending
to be friendly with the unsuspecting

stabbed him to death. An autopsy
revealed that the victim
suff ered at least 32 sharp force
trauma wounds consistent with
being stabbed repeatedly, along
with blunt force injuries to the
head. Although Duggins did not
participate in the 2018 murder
committed by other members
of his clique, the Court noted
his leadership role and his longstanding
involvement in the
gang as reasons to impose the
15-year sentence on Duggins.
Following an investigation in
November 2018, Duggins was
indicted along with fi ve MS-13
members who participated in
the July 2018 murder in Lynn.
In a related case, the government
charged a juvenile coconspirator
who was the sixth
person involved in the Lynn
murder. All six defendants indicted
in this case, along with
the juvenile charged in the
related case, have pleaded
guilty. Duggins is the fourth
defendant to be sentenced.
On Feb. 16, Henri Salvador
Gutierrez was sentenced to life
in prison. On Feb. 14, Erick Lopez
Flores was sentenced to
40 years in prison. On Feb. 15,
Jonathan Tercero Yanes was
sentenced to 33 years in prison.
Sentencing hearings for
the two remaining codefendants,
Eliseo Vaquerano Canas
and Marlos Reyes have not yet
been scheduled.
