community, all with one goal:
Get more Malden residents vaccinated.
According
to the latest state
numbers, Malden is one of the
leading communities in the region
and in Massachusetts for
those partially or fully vaccinated
against COVID-19 when it
comes to equity in race and ethnicity
groups. Malden exceeds
both the state and national average
percentages overall and
in most individual demographic/ethnic
groups for those who
are vaccinated.
Malden Mayor Gary Christenson
and Malden Health Department
Director Chris Webb
praised the efforts of all who
have been participating in an
ongoing, sometimes daunting
eff ort to â€œget the word outâ€ regarding
vaccination.
One of the primary leaders
of the city's intensive outreach

who recently became
Maldenâ€™s fi rst Diversity, Equity
and Inclusion (DEI) coordinator,
as a member of the Mayorâ€™s Offi

explained at the COVID-19
update: disseminating information
about the vaccine itself as
well as giving residents additional
information so they can make
an informed decision about being

know all of the information before
they decide which route
they wish to take,â€ Larochelle
said. â€œIt is a personal decision and

Social Media and the Impact on Policy
O
By Craig Spadafora
ver the course of my 10
years serving as a Councilor,
one of the biggest changes
has been the impact of Social
Media on every aspect of
our lives. Of course, it has provided
us all a convenient way to
stay connected with family and
friends in a way not possible before.
Itâ€™s hard to argue thatâ€™s anything
but good. It has also provided
a forum for all to express
their opinion on a variety of issues,
including those that drive
actions we take as a City Council
body. Just how to incorporate
that into policy making is more
complicated than it may seem.
A 2021 Pew Research study on
social media usage shows that
the two most dominant forms of
social media by far are YouTube
and Facebook. It also shows that
usage by age group varies widely.
While 90% of those between
the ages of 30-49 are users of
YouTube, less than 50% of those
65+ are. Similarly, while 77% of
those 30-49 are users of Faceitive
adulation that goes with
playing to the Facebook crowd?
A look at the most recently
Craig Spadafora
book, less than 50% of those
65+ are. Itâ€™s likely that the disparity
is even greater when you factor
in the intensity and frequency
of use by each age group. The
challenge for policy makers is
pretty evident. How do we avoid
the temptation to develop policy
that is overly influenced by
social media when we know
that the voices of our most experienced
and active voters are
vastly underrepresented? After
all, who doesnâ€™t want the posANGELOâ€™S

completed citywide election further
highlights the pitfalls of social
media driven policy making.
The last citywide election saw
an average voter age of over 55
years old. Participation amongst
those aged 65+ continues to
be stronger than any other age
group, by far. Our senior population
is both growing and active
in the democratic process. If
Iâ€™ve learned nothing else over the
years, Iâ€™ve learned that there is no
substitute for life experience. The
wisdom and experience of our
seniors is an extraordinary asset.
Spend 30 minutes talking to
someone who has been around
and seen things for 75 years,
and you will come away feeling
smarter and humbled. Our seniors
are full of experience, engaged,
and want to be heard.
I canâ€™t help but come to the inescapable
conclusion that driving
policy making with social
media input as the main factor
marginalizes the voices of our seniors.
Itâ€™s easy to convince yourself
that those yelling the loudest
represent everyone, especially if
the views align with your own.
They donâ€™t. There is no doubt It
will take hard work to make sure
the opinions, the life experiences,
the voices of our seniors are
factored into policy making in a
world dominated by social media.
After all, itâ€™s not just a â€˜click
awayâ€™. I say itâ€™s worth it. The end
result will be policy making that
truly is representative of the people,
ALL the people.

a Malden councillor-at-large.
Maplewood rapper,
producer seeks
to expand
fan base
By Tara Vocino
A
Maplewood area rapper
is looking to be noticed
for his uniqueness. Self-taught
rapper/singer/songwriter/music
producer/engineer Jeffriel
Lichtenberg, 27, who grew up
in Linden but now lives in Maplewood,
is selling his music
on Spotify, iTunes and Amazon.
What sets â€œJeffrey iLL,â€ his persona
name, apart from other
artists is that he hopes that
people can relate in order to
find confidence in themselves.
He knew he wanted to pursue
music professionally when he
performed â€œLove the way you
lieâ€ by Eminem and Rihanna.
â€œWhen I was little, I was overweight
and had different interests,
such as anime and cartoons,
than my peers,â€ Lichtenberg
said. â€œI hope people
can escape and find purpose
through my lyrics.â€
The Malden High School
alum (â€™12) ran track, was a midfielder
in lacrosse and a small
forward in basketball. He has
also collaborated with Malden
High alumni Shakarus Semexant
(â€™11) and Carlos Norris
(â€™15) on tracks â€œLost heartsâ€ and
â€œNever Fumble.â€
Lichtenbergâ€™s girlfriend Gabriella
Santos, of Saugus, said
his sound is incredibly unique
and makes her want to dance,
especially his electronic song
â€œStart Again.â€
â€œIt comes from a creative
space in my heart,â€ Lichtenberg
said. â€œThereâ€™s no limit to
my imagination.â€
Malden High School alum
Anthony Volmar, a rapper/
songwriter and actor, said his
collaboration artist is his own
entity, virtually producing and
writing the song by himself.
They perform R & B, rap, and
electronic music together. â€œHeâ€™s
an artist like no other,â€ Volmar
said. â€œâ€˜Linden Forever,â€™ which is
an anthem about back-in-theday,
is my favorite song.â€
The Medford assistant preschool
teacher, who hopes to
transition into music as a career,
signed a record deal with electronic
labels Jendex Records
and NoFace Records in 2020.

Bike to the Seaâ€™s trail targeted for completion
trail. â€œAn additional $8 million
investment will be necessary
to connect the trail along
Lynn Common, Market Street
and Lynn Shore Drive to the
beach,â€ said Winslow.
Speaking about the number
of residents who use the trail,
Winslow said a counter was installed
in Malden and recorded
50,000 pedestrians and bicyclists
in July 2020.
In addition, Winslow said
residents can use the trail to
access the Mystic River Trail in
Everett. â€œThe Northern Strand
has been designated to be
part of the East Coast Greenway/Bike
Route 1 which extends
off and on-road from
Maine to Key West, Florida,â€
he said.
Looking ahead, Jonah Chiarenza,
executive director of
Bike to the Sea, said he would
like to have ongoing trail runs
and clean ups to â€œdevelop synergies
for economic investment
and improved access to
recreation.â€
The Northern Strand Community Trail begins in Everett and travels through Malden, Revere and
Saugus. The fi nal leg of the trail is expected to be completed by the end of the year, taking it to

By Christopher Roberson
N
early 30 years after it
was established, Bike to
the Sea is expected to have
its rail trail project, the Northern
Strand Community Trail,
mostly completed by the end
of the year.
S t ephen Winslo w ,
co-founder of Bike to the
Sea, said he and his wife Helen
created the organization
in 1993 after discovering
that the roads and drivers
in Malden were â€œvery hostile
to bicyclists.â€ â€œWhen we
moved to Malden we found
the roads and drivers were
very hostile to bicyclists and
no real convenient trails,â€ he
said. â€œAbout the same time,
the Minuteman Trail was being
built along a former rail
line through Arlington and
proved popular with people
of all ages. We thought that
the overgrown and little-used
Saugus Branch Rail Line offered
the same opportunity,
so Helen and I formed Bike
to the Sea to pursue the idea.â€
In 1996, the Boston Metropolitan
Planning Organization
determined that using
the Saugus Branch Rail Line to
Lynn would be the best option
for the trail rather than running
it along Rumney Marsh
to Revere.
Winslow said that in 2005,
â€œafter a decade of study and
negotiations,â€ Everett was the
fi rst community to sign a lease
with the MBTA, which allowed
construction of the trail to begin.
Malden, Saugus and Revere
joined the effort soon
thereafter. Between 2010 and
2015, Winslow said, offi cials in
Everett, Malden, Saugus and
Revere worked to clear the
railbed and convert it into a
bike trail.
He said that earlier this year
a bridge was installed over the
Saugus River, and the section
of the trail under Route 1 in
Revere was paved. In addition,
he said construction is underway
in Everett to connect the
trail to the Mystic River. The
last leg of the project will be
to bring the trail to an end at
Lynn Shore and Nahant Beach
Reservation.
Winslow said that over the
Councillor-at-Large
Stephen Winslow
Co-Founder of Bike to the Sea
years Bike to the Sea has received
approximately $18 million
from the Gateway Community
Parks program as well
as additional funding from
Malden and Everett. However,
another fi nancial push will
be needed to complete the

unlawfully possessed handgun
moments after the suspect allegedly
fired multiple rounds
in public.
In a telephone interview
with The Malden Advocate on
Wednesday, Chief Molis provided
the following account: On
the morning of Thursday, May
13 at approximately 8:15 a.m.,
Malden Police Officers were dispatched
to Harnden Road, off
of Summer Street on a report
of â€œshots fired.â€ Chief Molis said
that even in a situation of obvious
high risk and peril all available
officers responded to the
area immediately and without
hesitation. Evidence observed at
the scene confirmed that shots
had been fired. The officers immediately
began to gather more
information and search for a potentially
armed and dangerous
subject. Within moments a subject
fitting the description of the
alleged shooter was observed
walking on Summer Street. Detective
Sergeant Peter Mitchell,
Officer George MacKay, Detective
Elijah McNeal were among
the officers present in the area.
Knowing full well that they were
encountering an armed individual
who had already fired a
weapon, all the officers present
displayed a high level of bravery,
tactical awareness and restraint.
Sgt. Mitchell issued clear
verbal commands in a manner
that resulted in the suspectâ€™s
compliance.
Also present at the scene were
Officers Polston and Centore
and Detective Gennetti. A loaded,
unlawfully possessed handgun
was located on the suspect.
He was arrested and charged
with multiple firearms offenses.
According to Chief Molis, â€œAt
the beginning of each tour of
duty police officers venture into
an unknown journey that involves
potential risk and danger.
They do this willingly. They respond
to situations that others
are allowed to run from. When
they respond to these dangerOne
of four of the shell casings fired from the suspectâ€™s weapon
found at the scene.
The semiautomatic handgun confiscated from the suspect
ous situations it is because people
are in danger. The people
they protect and serve without
hesitation.
â€œThis incident and its outcome
is an example of that. When the
call for â€˜shots firedâ€™ came over the
radio these officers went toward
the danger. They knew the risks
but they knew that they were
needed. This city needed them.
They answered the call. They
ended up in a dangerous situation,
encountering an armed
subject who had reportedly already
fired a weapon. Because
of their courage, professionalism,
tactical approach and restraint,
this high-risk drama was
resolved in a way that should
leave all citizens confident and
grateful in knowing how well
served they are by their police
department.â€

ASSISTANT SPEAKER CLARK VOTES
TO COMBAT THE SURGE
OF ANTI-ASIAN HATE CRIMES
Legislation comes as Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
experience wave of physical, verbal, and online attacks
W
ASHINGTON, D.C. â€“ Assistant
Speaker Katherine
Clark (MA-5) voted this past
week for the final passage of the
COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, legislation
to address the ongoing
hate and violence targeted toward
Asian Americans and Pacific
Islanders (AAPIs). The legislation
provides assistance with
law enforcement response to
COVID-19 hate crimes and creates
a position at the Department
of Justice to facilitate expedited
review of such cases.
The legislation is led by Rep.
Grace Meng (NY-6), First Vice
Chair of the Congressional Asian
Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC),
and U.S. Senator Mazie K.
Hirono (D-HI), Executive Board
Member of CAPAC. The bill now
goes to President Bidenâ€™s desk
for his signature.
â€œIn the wake of this pandemic,
there has been a disturbing rise
in anti-Asian hate in the United
States. This wave of discrimination
has brought violence, trauma,
and fear to the AAPI community,
and today Congress is
taking a stand. This legislation
will ensure that violence towards
the AAPI community is
treated as a hate crime and that
we are collecting data and best
practices to reduce discrimination,â€
said Assistant Speaker
Clark. â€œWe take this vote during
AAPI Heritage month, a time
to acknowledge the incredible
contributions of the AAPI community
to our nation and the interconnectedness
of the American
story and our mutual safety.
I am proud to support the entire
AAPI community in voting
for this critical, long overdue bill.â€
â€œI am grateful for the Congresswomanâ€™s
work on this important
issue. A solid stance against
hate crime is so important to ensure
that hate has no place in any
community, especially now and
forward, given the heightened
anti-Asian violence,â€ said Mai Du,
Co-Founder of the Greater Malden
Asian American Community
Coalition. â€œAsian Americans are
American, too. We are not the
â€˜perpetual foreignersâ€™ and we are
not the â€˜model minorityâ€™. Asian
America is diverse and unique.
We have to recognize that hate
against all communities of color
has been real for centuries, and
we, as a nation, are ready to call
it out and eradicate it by naming
it and fighting the core culprit,
which is white supremacy. We

THE MALDEN ADVOCATEâ€“Friday, May 21, 2021
Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday â€“
Bert Paquette remembered
By Peter F. Levine
I
t is said in Malden today, tomorrow
and yesterday...
Forty years ago, â€œMalden today,
tomorrow and yesterdayâ€
remembers the 1981 release of
Bert Paquette & The New Gamblersâ€™
self-titled vinyl LP on Al Cocorochioâ€™s
Black Rose Records label.
The band consisted of Maldonians
Jerry and Bert Paquette,
Danny Titus and Norman McLeod.
The New Gamblers played
what critics in 1981 called a
â€œunique blend of country and
rockâ€ â€“ referred to today as
â€œAmericana.â€ Bert and Jerry grew
up on a farm on Prince Edward
Island in Canada and moved
to Malden in their early teens.
The charismatic and handsome
Paquette boys were brilliant
musicians touring with Preacher
Jack, Ernest Tubb, Sleepy LaBeef
and George Thorogood &
the Delaware Destroyers. They
toured Canada as well as most
of New England and, of course,
all the cooler rooms in Boston,

as well as most VFWs,
AMVETS and Elks Lodges within
driving distance. Bert passed
away in 1997 from a brain aneurysm
and is missed by every
single person he ever met. Jerry
is still active in music, fronting
his own band, the â€œKan-Tu
Blues Band,â€ out of New Hampshire.
Danny is retired from the
music biz but can be found on
Facebook. Norman took his life
in 1998.
Imagine you havenâ€™t been
in Malden for, say, the last 35
years. Imagine stepping off the
Orange Line at Malden Station
for the first time in those many
years. You would be lost. The
landscape has so dramatically
changed that you would have
to consult your iPhone for directions
or at least call Peter Caso
for advice. Upscale eateries, a
state-of-the-art City Hall building,
sleek new modern housing
and Bikeeny Caffe assault the
senses â€“ this not your grandfatherâ€™s
Malden.
Didnâ€™t Steve Freker do a fabulous
job nailing the piece on
Maldenâ€™s first police officer killed
in the line of duty, Watchman
Faulkner?! Fascinating story â€“
such an interesting read â€“ also
very sad. I pictured this poor
soul, risking his life in the dead of
night, the last moments with his
partner after getting shot, never
returning home to his family. According
to Police Chief Molis, not
much more is known of Watchman
Faulknerâ€™s life, before or after
the incident. Iâ€™m just thinking
out loud; possibly he fought in
the Civil War? His time in the service
on his resume when he applied
for the Watchman job in
Malden? As with many in those
times, possibly leaving a large
family? Did they remain in MalBert

den? Are the descendants of
Watchman Faulkner alive today?
I would love to know. I will
reach out to the fine folks at the
Malden Historical Society to see
if we can fill in the blanks and let
you know.
Happy birthday, Danny Gilligan!
Slowly but surely, youâ€™re
catching up to the rest of us!
Looking good. All the best, my
friend!
I have this great article from
2008, the 100th year celebration
of the production of the fabled
Chuck Taylor sneaker: The
kicks Larry wore! The kicks the
Ramones wore! The kicks I have
been wearing (and every single
one of my friends) since goodness
knows when! Erin Ailworth
was part of The Boston Globe
staff at the time and had this
to say: â€œToday, Converseâ€™s shoemaking
history isnâ€™t as well remembered
in Malden as some
might think. Stephen Nedell,
a librarian at Malden Public Library,
which includes volumes
in Converse, attributes the lack
of awareness to the fact that another
branch of the Converse
family has a more storied history
in the city: Elisha Converse â€“
a cousin several times removed
from the shoemaking M.M. Converse
who founded Converse â€“
was the cityâ€™s first mayor. And
the library building that houses
the historic collection is named
for Elishaâ€™s son, who is often considered
the first murder victim
of a professional bank robbery
in the United States. â€˜Itâ€™s kind
of ironic that Converse Rubber
Shoe Co. had such a big influence...outside
of Malden,â€™ Nedell
said, â€˜Here Marquis Converse
was kind of overshadowed by
his more famous cousin.â€™â€ More
on this fascinating part of Maldenâ€™s
history later.
Maybe Barbara Tolstrup could
shed some light on the man
they called â€œThe Candy Manâ€
at the old Palace of Sweets in
downtown Malden Square.
Barbara was a regular at Palace
of Sweets as were most of
her classmates at Malden High
School in the 1940s. Charles
Cokkinos, I believe, owned the
Palace for over 40 years and
eventually opened a second
place in Waltham called Dandy
Dutch Candies. He was a Malden
High School graduate and

Malden Center
for Arts & Cultureâ€™s Steering
Committee announced
M
ayor Gary Christenson
proudly announced the
formation of the Malden Center
for Arts & Culture Steering
Committee. At his 2021 State
of the City address in February,
he announced the City of Maldenâ€™s
intent to acquire the old
Malden District Courthouse,
which is located at 89 Summer
St., and convert it into the
Malden Center for Arts & Culture.
The City is currently working
with the Malden Legislative
Delegation to file legislation
designating the courthouse as
surplus property and directing
its transfer from the Commonwealth
to the City.
This critical component of
the local creative economy
comes after years of advocacy
from Maldenâ€™s arts community
around the need for additional
performance, studio and rehearsal
space in Malden. The
city has always been home to a
vast diversity of visual and performing
artists, makers, designers,
creators and passionate arts
supporters and patrons. Recent
years have seen building momentum
in the arts and culture
sector in Malden, from the temporary
pop-up gallery at 480
Main St. that evolved into todayâ€™s
Gallery@57, to the successful
ARTLine project and dozens
of cultural events and musical
performances sponsored
by Malden Creates and the Malden
Cultural Council. Establishing
a central hub where many
forms of creativity can flourish,
inspire and educate the next
generation will solidify Malden
as an arts-friendly city and put
it on the map as a place where
working artists can make a living
while sharing their craft with the
community.
â€œWe are thrilled at the possibility
of bringing an Arts & Culture
Center to Malden,â€ said Christenson.
â€œIt has the potential to
be an anchor institution for the
City providing a much-needed
home for theatre production,
performances, exhibitions, and
workspaces. I am excited to announce
the formation of a Steering
Committee to help us engage
with the community to
create a shared project vision,
and to develop an operational
plan to ensure the center is sustainable
and accessible to all.â€
While the ownership transfer
is finalized, the City will begin
developing a Concept Plan
for the space. The Concept Plan
will determine the uses and users
of the building, develop an
architectural design for renovations,
build a sustainable operational
model and identify funding
sources for construction and
operations. This planning process
will be directed by the new
Malden Center for Arts & Culture
Steering Committee.
Ward 3 Councillor Amanda
Linehan and Malden Redevelopment
Authority Senior Planner
Evan Spetrini will serve as
Co-Chairs of the committee and
will be joined by a diverse coalition
of arts and cultural leaders,
reflective of the various artistic
disciplines and cultural
backgrounds that make up the
Malden community. These leaders
were chosen for their deep
knowledge of cultural spaces,
practices, and their dedication
to the Malden arts community:
â€¢ Terlonzo Amos, Director of
Operations, Urban Media Arts
(UMA)
â€¢ Naomi Brave, President, Malden
Arts, Inc.
â€¢ Jenelle DeVits, Board of Directors
Member, UMA
â€¢ Yinh Kiefer, Wellness Professional,
Host of â€œTen With Yinhâ€
podcast
â€¢ Bob Logan, Director and Music
Producer, SUM Studios
â€¢ Yu Sin Mok, Board of Directors
Member, Greater Malden
Asian American Community
Coalition
â€¢ Erga Pierette, Co-Chair, Malden
Cultural Council
â€¢ Elizabeth Ramirez, Theater
Director, Production Stage Manager,
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Consultant and Actorsâ€™ Equity
Association Leader
â€¢ Dawn Simmons, Co-Founder
and Co-Producing Artistic Director,
The Front Porch Arts Collective;
Executive Director of StageSource
The
Steering Committee will
set the vision and values of the
project, provide guidance on
outreach efforts, direct fundraising
activities and communicate
routinely with project consultants.
The City is currently
seeking grant funding to assist
in the development of the Concept
Plan, including an extensive
and equitable community
engagement process.
â€œMalden is blessed with such
rich diversity in our City and creative
sector, and that is why we
are committing to an inclusive
and representative public engagement
process as we develop
a vision for the future of the
Malden Courthouse,â€ said Linehan.
â€œWe believe that the project
will better serve the needs

among those on hand to give a
huge thank you to local business
owners who donated a total of
$20,000 to MOA for the purpose

MOA is so very thankful to Paul
T. Murphy for spearheading this
collective action and to each
and every business who contributed.
As Margaret Mead
said, â€˜Never Doubt that a small
group of thoughtful, committed,
citizens can change the
world. Indeed, it is the only
thing that ever has.â€™â€
arick Walker recently shared
the path that took him from
playing a handful of college
football games to becoming the
talent and marketing manager
for the NFL.
Growing up in Hyde Park,
Walker spent two years as a
linebacker for Catholic Memorial
School in West Roxbury. Following
high school, he went on
to play football for Boston College.
Although he only played
in six games, Walker still valued
the experience of competing on
the collegiate level.
â€œWhen I was there, I walked
onto the football team, which
was crazy,â€ he said during a May
13 question and answer session
sponsored by Everett High
School.
After graduating college with
a bachelorâ€™s degree in human
development, Walker was unsure
about his plans for the future.
â€œI was a young 20-something
and had no idea what life
had to offer,â€ he said.
However, he found a home
with Boston Scholar Athletes
and remained with the organization
for four years. â€œFrom there,
I took a risk,â€ he said, adding that
he wanted to move to Los Angeles
to pursue an acting career.
Therefore, he started working
at the Nike Store on Newbury
Street in Boston to save enough
money for his move to southern
California. However, something
At a May 13 check presentation, Paul Hammersley, director
of Malden Overcoming Addiction (left) explained how his
organization helps addicts in need of treatment to Paul Murphy
of Murphy Insurance, Peter Tufts of Tufts Construction and Tony

unexpected began to transpire.
â€œWhat ended up happening was
I began climbing the ranks at
Nike,â€ he said. Eventually, Walker
was transferred out of the retail
division and took a marketing
position at Nikeâ€™s Boston office.
Despite his success in Boston,
Walker had not forgotten
Jarick Walker
about the West Coast. Therefore,
he would periodically travel to
Nike LA to pitch ideas for marketing
campaigns. Three years
later, his efforts paid off when
Nike offered him the opportunity
to go to Los Angeles.
However, life in southern California
was much different than
life in Boston. â€œIt was a night and
day experience,â€ said Walker.
During his two years with Nike
LA, Walker organized a road race
in Inglewood, California, a community
that was still recovering
from a crack cocaine epidemic
which struck during the 1980s.
â€œWe shut down a freeway to
have a race,â€ he said.
Although Walker had the opportunity
to take a position at
Nikeâ€™s corporate office in Oregon,
he opted to go work for the
NFL, where he has remained for
the past year and a half.
As the leagueâ€™s talent and marketing
manager, Walker said, one
of his primary responsibilities is
to attract younger fans. â€œItâ€™s definitely
hard; itâ€™s an uphill battle,â€
he said. â€œA lot of people think the
NBA is the biggest league in the
country â€“ the NFL far outpaces
what the NBA is doing.â€
He has also worked with a
number of celebrities in this
capacity, including Kevin Hart,
Cole Bennett, Lil Wayne, Desi
Banks and Lil Baby.
Although the NFL has a much
greater corporate culture than
Nike, Walker said, he has always
tested the boundaries and
strived to find different ways of
doing things. â€œEvery day when I
go to work, I feel like Iâ€™m on this
mission to change the narrative,â€
he said.
Following the tragic deaths of
George Floyd and Breonna Taylor,
the leagueâ€™s CFO, Joseph Siclare,
offered to speak with any
employee who needed to talk.
Walker was one of the few who
took Siclare up on his offer. â€œI
shared how we need to be bold;
you canâ€™t tiptoe around this topic,â€
said Walker. â€œI broke down in
tears afterward. I felt that he listened.â€

Holyoke Soldiersâ€™ Home set for reconstruction as
House approves H.3770, An Act Financing the
Reconstruction of the Soldierâ€™s Home in Holyoke
B
OSTON â€“ On Monday, Representative
Steven Ultrino
(D-Malden), Representative Paul
Donato (D â€“ Medford), and Representative
Kate Lipper-Garabedian
presented a united front
in support of H.3770, An Act Financing
the Reconstruction of
the Soldierâ€™s Home in Holyoke,
the fi nal version of the bill which
will fund for the construction of
a new facility at the Holyoke Soldiersâ€™
Home.
The House unanimously approved
the bill, which would allocate
$400 million to the design
and construction of a brandnew
facility for the Soldiersâ€™
Home. The newly approved version
of the legislation ensures
that the construction project
would feature a small home
concept where veterans will
have more living space and independence.
The development
will also include state-of-the-art
technology to meet the needs
of current and future veterans.
The bill also allocates an additional
$200 million to improving
long-term care services for veterans
throughout the region, including
expanding support for
home- and community-based
care services and the creation
of regional or satellite veteransâ€™
homes for those not served by
the Chelsea or Holyoke Soldiersâ€™
Home. The fi nal language of the
approved bill also expands signifi
cantly on provisions related
to minority, veteran, and women
contractors hired for this
project.
By requiring the submission
of annual reports until the completion
of the facility, the legislation
ensures that the project
will remain on track in terms of
budgeting, costs, design, construction
progress, as well as labor
participation goals for minority,
veteran and women contractors.
â€œThe
approval and support we
received for this bill represent a
major step towards healing after
last yearâ€™s tragedy,â€ said Representative
Ultrino. â€œFrom the
very beginning, this has been a
project about honoring our veterans
and proving to their families
and friends that we are ready
to give them the support they
need. I truly believe that this reconstruction
project will be able
to breathe new life into the Holyoke
Soldiersâ€™ Home and give our
veterans the care and attention
they deserve.â€
"Ensuring that our veterans
have the resources they need

Maldonian honored
as Big Sister of the Year
T
he Big Sister Association
of Greater Boston recently
recognized Tracy-Jane Pierre
of Malden as a Big Sister of the
Year at its annual meeting. Pierre
has been matched with her Little
Sister Allya since May 2017.
Pierre was awarded Big Sister
of the Year for going above and
beyond the expectations and
commitment of being a positive
adult friend and mentor to
her Little Sister.
â€œWhile all our Big Sisters are
going the extra mile by sharing
their friendship, it is Big Sisters
like Tracy-Jane who truly
embrace what it means to be a
mentor and exemplify the quality
mentoring experience,â€ said
Big Sister Boston President/CEO
Deborah Re.
Pierre is a Big Sister in the Site
Based Mentoring Program. SiteBased
Mentoring take place in
schools and community centers
in Boston, Cambridge and Quincy.
Big and Little Sisters commit
to at least three academic
semesters together (excluding
summer break and school holidays)
and meet once a week
during the school day or their afterschool
program. During visits,
they read books, learn new skills,
work on projects of their mutual
choosing or engage in physical
activities. During a girlâ€™s busy
school day, Site-Based Mentoring
creates a safe space for her to
have fun, learn and grow alongside
her Big Sister.

grateful to Speaker Mariano for
his leadership in ensuring we

itself, there are options, whether
it is the two-shot process of the
Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, or
the single-shot Johnson & Johnson
vaccine. Last month there
was the additional hurdle posed
by the pause in the administration
of the Johnson & Johnson
vaccine due to safety concerns.
Larochelle said a lot of the
outreach efforts have been directed
toward various ethnicity
groups, including those Malden
residents whose first language
is not English. Flyers and
other forms of printed information
that have been translated
into languages native to Maldenâ€™s
diverse population have

process is available on the

many Malden residents as possible

vaccinated, and we will continue
to reach out in as many ways as
necessary to get there,â€ she said.
The Massachusetts state average
of vaccinated individuals
in various race/ethnicity groups,
according to mass.gov, is 14.9%,
while nationwide it is 7.9%. Malden
surpasses both of those figures
with 16.0%.
Malden is also in line or above
the state average in total population
vaccinated: over 47% either
partially or fully vaccinated.
Additionally, in the senior citizen
category, Malden matches
the state average with 77% of all
Malden residents aged 65 and
over either fully (most) or partially
vaccinated.
Any Malden residents with
any questions about the vaccine
and the vaccination process are
encouraged to contact the Malden
Health Department at 781397-7049
or the Mayorâ€™s Office
at 781-397-7000.

hristie Serino is one of the
most influential and most
revered coaches and mentors in
the region's history on the high
school and college sports scene.
He coached hockey at Saugus
High, Malden Catholic,
UNH and Merrimack College,
as well baseball for many of his
five sons' teams as well as at
University of New Hampshire.
On Saturday, for the seventh
time, the late Coach Serino's
legacy will be honored again
with the playing of the 7th Annual
Christie Serino Baseball
Classic, where four teams will
compete for the 2021 Championship.
This
will be the first time
since the 2019 season the Classic
will be held, having been
sidelined along with the entire
rest of the high school season
in 2020.
Malden High School Head
Coach Steve Freker and the
Golden Tornado baseball
squad will host the Doubleheader
action on two adjoining
Malden fields, Maplewood
Park and Rotondi Field, beginning
at 11:00 a.m. with firstround
action.
The Championship Game
is set for 1:30 p.m. at Maplewood
Park featuring the two
first-round winners, with a
Consolation Game on the adjacent
field.
Malden High will play Salem
Academy at 11:00 a.m. at
Maplewood Park in one firstround
matchup, while Somerville
High and Winthrop High
will face off at 11:00 a.m. at Rotondi
Field at Howard Park.
Coach Freker said it has
been an honor to memorialize
Coach Serino all of these years.
"He 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 fifth year at
Malden High, returning after
an 18-year absence.
He was the head baseball
coach at Saugus High from
2014-2016 and head baseball
coach at Malden Catholic
from 2000-2012. He coached
baseball at Malden High from
1985-1999 previously.
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 of
the 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 8 professional MLB
baseball players from Malden
Catholic from 2006-2012.
"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.
Tony Serino was an assistant
coach at Malden High and
Saugus High while the athletic
director at Winthrop High
now is Matt Serino, another
Chris Serino son, to keep the
ties going.
It will be the season opener
for Malden and Coach Freker
said the Tornado team is excited
about it. "What a way to
open the season! Hopefully we
can bring the title back to Malden!,"
he added.

Malden Golden Tornadoes
Junior Varsity/Varsity
Co-Ed Field Hockey won Fridayâ€™s
Greater Boston League
cup against Everett Crimson
Tide, 6-0, at MacDonald Stadium.
According
to Varsity Head
Coach Samantha Souza, she
predicted that they were going
to sweep the spring season,
especially in this pandemic.
â€œThey worked so hard
and the more we won, the
more they believed in themselves
and that they were capable
of winning,â€ Souza said.
â€œThis COVID season was unlike
any other, and the fact
that we were so successful
just goes to show how determined
they were.â€
It wasnâ€™t an easy road. Souza
added that it took a few
years to get them all â€œin a
groove,â€ and this year the
fruits of their labor were evident.
â€œEverett
and Revere challenged
us in different ways,
but we were always up for
whatever came our way,â€ Souza
said. â€œWe came together

THE MALDEN ADVOCATEâ€“Friday, May 21, 2021
The show goes on! Malden Class of 2021â€™s
81st Junior Varieties a big hit
Using school, city and state safety guidelines, annual tradition does not miss a beat!
By Steve Freker
fter the acts were performed
and the hundreds
of smiles and other expressions
of joy and accomplishments
were made, Malden High School
(MHS) Principal Chris MastranA
gelo
summed it all up best.
â€œWhat a tremendous feeling it
was to see our kids just having
so much fun together after such
a long wait,â€ Mastrangelo said on
Monday, after an unprecedented
weekend at MHS.
On Friday and Saturday evenings,
the Malden High Class of
2022 teamed up to present separate
performances of Junior Varieties
for the 81st consecutive
year, â€œliveâ€ and in-person at the
historic MHS Jenkins Auditorium.
The theme of the evening
was â€œMystery at the Met,â€ and
the evening was a smash hit, according
to many of those in attendance.
One
of Malden Highâ€™s longest
traditions, which is also regarded
as one of the longest, continuous
student variety shows
in the United States, was in
jeopardy, as have been most
school and municipal events,
due to precautions under the
COVID-19 pandemic. Using
guidance and instructions from
up and down the ladder, including
the federal CDC, state Department
of Health (DPH) and
the City of Maldenâ€™s Board of
Health, Principal Mastrangelo
and many others worked tirelessly
to plan a two-night event
which adhered to all protocols
in place.
â€œWe truly lived the old saying,
â€œThe Show Must Go On,â€™â€œ Mastrangelo
said. â€œWe have so much
to be grateful for, and so many
people to thank, including Mayor
Gary Christenson, Superintendent
John Oteri, Health Director
Chris Webb, the Mayorâ€™s
Chief of Staff Maria Luise and
all our staff here at Malden High
School who all helped made it
happen for these kids.â€
â€œThe happiness and sense of
pride these students showed
over the two nights was just
priceless,â€ Mastrangelo said.
â€œThey made memories that will
last them their entire lives.â€
The MHS principal said a lot
of the credit and a huge piece
of the â€œthank yousâ€ go to 2022
Class Advisor and MHS Physical
Education Director and coach
Dan Jurkowski, who guided the
studentsâ€™ preparation and planning
for Junior Varieties for, essentially,
the last six months.
â€œWe really canâ€™t thank everyDonald
Ford
Gabriella Frois
Micaela Henry
Massimiliano Lam
Alyssa Littlejohn
Micaela Henry and Tivian
Nguyen
MHS Step Team Members
Junior Varieties Lighting Crew
Tony Giech A.K.A. â€œTony Giecoâ€
one enough, starting with Mr.
Mastrangelo and including all
our sponsors, in making sure we
were able to present Junior Varieties
this year,â€ Jurkowski said.
â€œNot only is it the Junior Class of
2022â€™s biggest fundraiser, but it
is a tradition that every one of
our students loves participating
in. They will never forget Junior
Varieties, and we are so grateful
we were able to produce and
present the show.â€
Audience limits were imposed
due to COVID-19, and a maximum
of 250 spectators allowed,
but that did not diminish the excitement
and enthusiasm a bit.
Hosts for the prestigious event
were Whitney Jean Baptiste, Jason
Ong and Tivian Nguyen,
who were later joined by guest
host â€œTony Giecoâ€ aka Class of
2022 Art Director Tony Giech. Junior
Varieties Coordinators who
oversaw the show from inception
to performance were Mayada
Ghia and Tivian Nguyen.
The Class of 2022 Council
and Officers, who oversaw operations,
were President Julie
Huynh, Vice President Sarah Oliveira,
Secretary Christelle Jean,
Treasurer Sammie Nie, Art Director
Tony Giech, and Social
Media Coordinator Lauren Mallett;
Associate Advisor was Micaela
Henry.
The performers were as follows:

STEP-UP IN BASIS
PROPOSED TAX LAW
CHANGE
P
resident Bidenâ€™s proposed
repeal of the step-up in
basis provisions of Internal
Revenue Code Section 1014,
if passed by Congress, will create
a sweeping change in the
tax code that will affect millions
of American taxpayers.
The step-up in tax basis provisions
provide for the fair market
value of all assets owned
or constructively owned by
the taxpayer at the time of his
or her death to become the
new â€œcost basisâ€ going forward
in the hands of the recipients
of those assets (e.g. surviving
spouse, children, relatives, etc.)
pursuant to the terms of the
Last Will and Testament transfer
on death account, or a Living
Trust, for example. As long
as the assets are includible in
the taxable estate of the decedent,
regardless of whether or
not a federal or Massachusetts
estate tax has to be paid, the
step-up in basis is achieved.
This provision allows for a
single-family home originally
purchased for $75,000 to
be left to oneâ€™s children at the
time of death of a parent, while
creating a new cost basis in the
hands of the children equal
to the fair market value at the
time of death. If, for example,
at the time of death, the fair
market value of the home is
$500,000, that will be the new
cost basis. The children would
be able to sell the home soon
thereafter for $500,000 without
having to pay any capital
gains tax. One of the original
purposes of the legislation
was to avoid the unmanageable
task of requiring the children
to attempt to compute
the cost basis of the home
by going back 50 or more
years to determine the original
purchase price, capital improvements,
closing costs, refinance
costs, etc. By establishing
the fair market value
as the starting point after the
date of death, all of those issues
are avoided. No need for
canceled checks, settlement
statements, credit card statements,
invoices, etc. No need
to defend oneself in an IRS audit
that most likely could not
be won.
Therefore, in the above example,
if the Biden administration
proposal is passed,
if one assumes there were
$75,000 in improvements over
the years, there would be a
$350,000 capital gain. If there
were two children, the federal
capital gains tax would be
approximately $26,250 each
and the Massachusetts capital
gains tax would be $8,750
each, for a total of $70,000.This
is certainly an increase in taxes
to be paid by a lot of middle-class
taxpayers. Millions
of middle-class American taxpayers
currently do not have
to be concerned about such
a capital gains tax in these circumstances.
If the tax law is
changed, it will be unavoidable.
Whatâ€™s
important is not so
much whether or not you
agree or disagree with abolishing
the step-up in basis
provisions of the tax code, but
whether or not you realize this
will affect just about everybody,
not just the rich and famous.
This will also affect appreciated
stock that a mother
or father may leave to his or
her children. Even a $100,000
stock portfolio built up over
years of investing may have
a cost basis of only $25,000.
Without the benefit of the
step-up in cost basis provisions,
the children, upon a later
sale of the stock, will realize a
$75,000 capital gain and incur
a $15,000 combined federal
and Mass capital gains tax. The
repeal of this long-standing
provision will have profound
implications for millions of taxpayers,
not just the wealthy.
Such a repeal would also create
a disaster from a taxpayer
compliance standpoint as well
as from an IRS enforcement
standpoint. Such a new tax law
would amount to nothing less
than a middle-class tax hike,
and this would have nothing
to do with the proposed increase
in the capital gains tax
rate for those who earn more
than $400,000 per year.

MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6
a World War II Army veteran,
passing away in December of
2004 at age 89. If anybody has
any info on Cokkinos, please let
me know.
â€œMalden today, tomorrow and
yesterdayâ€ remembers the late
Lt. Malcom L. Card: World War
II Navy vet, 32-year member of
the Malden Police Dept., joined
the MPD in 1951, promoted to
Sergeant in 1960, earned Lieutenant
stripes in 1967, retired in
1983, Past Commander of the
Malden Veterans of Foreign Wars
(VFW), husband, father, brother,
friend â€“ passed in 2005 at 79
years old, lifelong Maldonian.
One glaring omission a few
weeks back: On my baseball
team from 1969-1989 was a
hard throwing lefty who used to
work at the Army & Navy in Malden
Square, Richie â€œHardrockâ€
Hannon. Richie was an outstanding
southpaw hurler with
all-around great baseball skills.
When he stopped playing baseball,
he became one of the best
softball players in the city. He
also sold me my first â€œbiker
leatherâ€ way back in 1979 at Malden
Army & Navy next door to
the Granada Theatre.
Have you seen the pond in
the Forestdale Cemetery lately?
Beautiful! After three long
years of cleaning, dredging and
treating, the pond is a wonderful
sight to behold â€“ a hidden
treasure just minutes away.
Obey all the rules of the cemetery,
though, the cemetery director,
Jimmy â€œStingerâ€ Cahill,
takes great pride in his work and
permits no shenanigans within
those hallowed stone walls.
Great to see things getting
back to semi-normal with the
Mac Singleton Youth Basketball
League gearing up for another
season. Also, Rec Director
Joe Levine and the Malden Rec
Dept reporting that over 200
kids participated in softball, tennis,
volleyball and basketball on
the weekend of May 8.
If you plan on attending the
City of Malden Memorial Day
Celebration at the Forestdale
Cemetery, then you better get
there early. Word on the street
is that itâ€™s gonna be a standing
room only affair for the Marine
Corp Brass Quintet. True story!
â€œThis is the end, beautiful
friend, this is the end, my only
friend, the endâ€ â€“ I have been
friends with Frankie Spinale
from Beebe Jr. High to those
glorious high school days at
Malden High. Devir Park, Jack
in the Box, Schopellâ€™s, Waiteâ€™s
Mount, and Jack Haneyâ€™s CafÃ©
were some of our/his stampinâ€™
grounds. My father even knew
Frankieâ€™s late dad from the old
West End of Boston. Our paths
have pleasantly crisscrossed
one way or another for over 50
years now. Frankie and his family
are a good example of how
one family can make a difference
â€“ how one family can make
a city of five square miles a better
place to live. Frank has retired
to Florida after a long and
distinguished career on the Malden
Police Department. Frankie
and his contemporaries on the
force at the time (John Crannell,
Kevin Molis, Gary Hennessey,
George Grimes, to name just a
few) helped usher in a new era
of policing in Malden. For that,
Malden is truly grateful and appreciative.
From
time to time, Frank has
visitors from his beloved hometown;
via Facebook, take it away
Frankie: â€œLast evening we had
the pleasure of hosting Malden
Police Captain Paul Hopkins and
his lovely wife Charlene for dinner.
They were our first house
guests since Covid reared its
ugly head. I have known Paul
since he was a rookie officer
and hadnâ€™t seen him in over 6
years as he continues to protect
and serve the public today.
Captain Hopkins is one of the
hardest working, kindest cops
I have ever met. For the record
it did not matter what race, color,
or nationality you were â€“ he
has always treated the public,
as well as his fellow officers,
with the utmost respect. Funniest
exchange of the evening:
Paul; â€˜Frank you havenâ€™t changed
much at all.â€™ Frank; â€˜except for
all this snow on my roof Paul.â€™
Paul: â€˜Frank look at my roof, itâ€™s
been stripped.â€™ Great to see you
brotha! Stay safe out there!â€ I
promise to make it down soon,
Frank. Stay well, friend.
Postscript 1: If you thought
the piano on â€œThatâ€™s The Way It
Is With Loveâ€ from the New Gamblersâ€™
LP sounded familiar, you
were right. It is none other than
the â€œBoston Boogie-Woogie Piano
Man,â€ Maldenâ€™s very own (the
late) Preacher Jack.
Postscript 2: You know your
stuff if you knew that (the late)
Norm McLeod also played (briefly)
in one of Gary Cheroneâ€™s first
bands, Adrenalin.
Postscript 3: Who else will admit
to having a draft beer (or
two) at Jack Haneyâ€™s CafÃ© while
skipping a class at Malden High
School?
Postscript 4: Who else will admit
to never, ever paying full
price for a pair of Chuck Taylorâ€™s
as a kid?

How Much Will You
Need to Save for
Retirement?
Dear Savvy Senior,
Is there an easy way to fi gure out how much I will need to
save for retirement? My wife and I are both in our late fi fties and
want to fi gure out about how much weâ€™ll need in order to retire
comfortably.
Ready to Retire
Dear Ready,
How much money you need to retire comfortably is a
great question that all working adults should ask themselves.
Unfortunately, far too few ever bother thinking about it.
But calculating an approximate number of how much youâ€™ll need
to have saved for retirement is actually pretty easy and doesnâ€™t take
long to do. Itâ€™s a simple, three-step process that includes estimating
your future living expenses, tallying up your retirement income
and calculating the diff erence.
Estimate Living Expenses
The fi rst step â€“ estimating your future retirement living expenses
â€“ is the most diffi cult. If you want a quick ballpark estimate, fi gure
around 75 to 85 percent of your current gross income. Thatâ€™s what
most people fi nd they need to maintain their current lifestyle in
retirement.
If you want a more precise estimate, track your current living
expenses on a worksheet and deduct any costs you expect to
go away or decline when you retire, and add whatever new ones
you anticipate.
Costs you can scratch off your list include work-related expenses
like commuting or lunches out, as well as the amount youâ€™re
socking away for retirement. You may also be able to deduct your
mortgage if you expect to have it paid off by retirement, and your
kidâ€™s college expenses. Your income taxes should also be less.
On the other hand, some costs will probably go up when you
retire, like health care, and depending on your interests you may
spend a lot more on travel, golf or other hobbies. And, if youâ€™re
going to be retired for 20 or 30 years you also need to factor in
some occasional big budget items like a new roof, heating/air
conditioning system or vehicle.
Tally Retirement Income
Step two is to calculate your retirement income. If you and/or
your wife contribute to Social Security, go to SSA.gov/MyAccount
to get your personalized statement that estimates what your
retirement benefi ts will be at age 62, full retirement age and when
you turn 70.
In addition to Social Security, if you or your wife has a
traditional pension plan from an employer, fi nd out from the plan
administrator how much you are likely to get when you retire. And
fi gure in any other income from other sources you expect to have,
such as rental properties, part-time work, etc.
Calculate the Diff erence
The fi nal step is to do the calculations. Subtract your annual
living expenses from your annual retirement income. If your
income alone can cover your bills, youâ€™re all set. If not, youâ€™ll need
to tap your savings, including your 401(k) plans, IRAs, or other
investments to make up the diff erence.
So, letâ€™s say for example you need around $60,000 a year to meet
your living and retirement expenses and pay taxes, and you and
your wife expect to receive $35,000 a year from Social Security and
other income. That leaves a $25,000 shortfall that youâ€™ll need to
pull from your nest egg each year ($60,000 â€“ $35,000 = $25,000).
Then, depending on what age you want to retire, you need to
multiply your shortfall by at least 25 if you want to retire at 60, 20
to retire at 65, and 17 to retire at 70 â€“ or in this case that would
equate to $625,000, $500,000 and $425,000, respectively.
Why 25, 20 and 17? Because that would allow you to pull four
percent a year from your savings, which is a safe withdrawal
strategy that in most cases will let your money last as long as you
do.

THE
HOUSE AND SENATE:
There were no roll call votes in
the House or Senate last week.
This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call
reports local senatorsâ€™ roll call attendance
records for the 2021
session through May 14.
The Senate has held 28 roll
calls so far in 2021. Beacon Hill
Roll Call tabulates the number
of roll calls on which each senator
votes and then calculates
that number as a percentage
of the total roll call votes held.
That percentage is the number
referred to as the roll call attendance
record.
In the Senate, 39 of the 40
members did not miss any roll
calls and have 100 percent roll
call attendance records. It is a
Senate tradition that the Senate
president only votes occasionally.
Senate President Karen Spilka
follows that tradition and only
voted on 11 of the 28 roll calls
while not voting on 17 of them.
Sen. Spilka's office did not respond
to repeated requests by
Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment
on her voting record.
We specifically asked if Spilka
was in the Statehouse building
for all the formal and informal
sessions; how the tradition developed
that the president rarely
votes; has she ever thought of
breaking that tradition and being
recorded on all roll calls; and
how does she choose on which
roll calls she will vote?
The vast majority of the 40
senators are not in the Senate
chamber during a session
because of the COVD-19 pandemic.
Most are watching and
listening to the session from
their home, business or Statehouse
office and voting remotely.
Senatorsâ€™ votes are communicated
to Senate officials during
the session or prior to the session
if senators are informed in
advance that there will be a roll
call vote.
If a member wants to speak
on an issue under consideration,
they do so on a separate â€œdebate
phone lineâ€ and their voice is
then heard in the Senate chamBHRC
