The Church, which is located on Hillside Avenue, had its earliest beginnings as St. Luke’s on Eastern Avenue and together with the Union Baptist Church has 115 years of church history in Malden – from 1891 to 2006. Mayor Christenson presented a citation to Pastor Wayne Gadie in honor of the milestone anniversary. The Eastern Avenue Baptist Church began officially with the original name of St. Luke’s in October 1891. The name was changed to Eastern Avenue Baptist Church in January 1910. In 1909 the real estate located at the comer of Eastern Avenue and Hillside Avenue was purchased from the American Unitarian Association. The Union Baptist Church held its fi rst service on January 22, 1899, at Bailey’s Hall on Pleasant Street in Malden and was incorporated on August 12, 1901. In 1903 the Pentecostal Chapel (Judson Square) was purchased, and later the lot at the comer of Madison and Meridian Streets was purchased for the permanent church site. Between 1901 and 1945, many efforts were made to unite the churches. On November 7, 1945, the joint bodies of Union and Eastern Avenue Baptist Churches merged and named the new church Emmanuel Baptist Church. The dedication service was held on Sunday, March 31, 1946. The fi rst pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church was Rev. Earl W. Lawson. He was installed on Guest Preacher Dr. Milton Thomas, Pastor Wayne Gadie, Mayor Gary Christenson and members of Emmanuel Baptist Church (photo courtesy of the City of Malden) Sunday, October 26, 1942, and he served as pastor until February 1978. The Reverend Louis E. Sibley III was installed as pastor on Sunday, September 9, 1979, and he served until June 1986. Rev. Wayne A. Gadie, the current pastor, was installed as pastor on Sunday, August 7, 1988. Mayor Christenson presented a citation to Pastor Wayne Gadie in honor of the milestone anniversary.

His contributions to Malden and Malden’s veterans are immeasurable. I just wanted to take a moment to thank him for all he does – usually going the extra mile every single time he’s called up to bat! For those with short memories, here is a brief synopsis on Kevin’s dad, John, one of the Greatest Generation: “In October 1942, John Jarvis’ engineer battalion sailed for the Pacific. In November 1942, aboard ship enroute to Guadalcanal he was promoted to Sergeant and then participated in the occupation and the defense of Guadalcanal from January 1943 to July 1944. On February 1, 1943, he was promoted to Staff Sergeant and then participated in the consolidation of the Southern Solomon Islands and was promoted to Supply (Gunny) Sergeant on December 1, 1943. “John Jarvis fought on Iwo Jima as the Acting Battalion Quartermaster with the 2nd Separate Engineer Battalion attached to the 5th Amphibious Corps Troops. On Iwo Jima his battalion repaired the Motoyama #1 airfi eld. “The battalion spent the next 36 days fighting on Iwo Jima and trying to complete their assigned duties. They repaired Motoyama Airstrip #1, built roads and structures such as Corps HQ Command Post, defused bombs, booby traps and destroyed countless tons of U.S. and Japanese unexploded ordinance and landmines. “John Jarvis served with his battalion on Iwo Jima until the end of the battle. On March 27, 1945, they departed the island and sailed back to Guam. In May 1999, John Jarvis died and is buried at the Forestdale Cemetery.” How ’bout that – ordinary men doing extraordinary things! More on John Jarvis will follow. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – it’s déjà vu all over again. With a “long national nightmare” in the foreseeable future, I’d like to bring to you a “long national nightmare” from yesteryear via Malden.

This very substantial increase in funding for Malden schools is a result of the continued implementation of the Student Opportunity Act (SOA), landmark legislation passed by the state legislature in 2019 to ensure that every child in Massachusetts has access to a high-quality public education. FY24 will be the third year of implementing the SOA (which is on a six-year implementation schedule). “Having led the passage of the Student Opportunity Act as the Senate Chair of the Education Committee, I’m thrilled to see the continuing implementation of this law deliver substantial new resources for our local schools,” said State Senator Jason Lewis. “I’m grateful that we are able to support the students, teachers, and staff at Malden public schools with the largest increase in Chapter 70 school funding for Malden in decades.” “I am excited to join my colleagues in upholding our commitment to fully implementing the Student Opportunity Act and increasing state funding for our public schools,” said State Representative Steve Ultrino. “This significant investment provides Malden’s school system with the resources it needs to continue its delivery of vital education and support to our students.” Our 51st Anniversary Chris 2023 Jason Lewis State Senator Kate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative Steve Ultrino Paul Donato State Representative “As a former teacher and education attorney, I am elated to see the continued and increased Chapter 70 funding included in the FY24 Budget for Malden, signed by Governor Healey on August 9,” said State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian. “When I was Chief Legal Counsel at the Executive Office of Education, I was pleased to work with the legislature and Department of Elementary and Secondary Education on the development and passage of the Student Opportunity Act. Now, this historic funding ensures the continued availability of critical resources for our schools, students, and educators.” “The passage of the SOA has proven to be an asset that will continue to benefit our schools for the foreseeable future,” said State Representative Paul Donato. “Also, this monumental funding toward Malden Public Schools emphasizes the importance of providing an equitable and high-quality education towards all students.” An Evening with Temple Grandin State Representative ׉ 7cassandra://3nEAu3bGaxI300sK-Kn65wv47ZsLYVFC9WTRPoQEMkQ0`̰dގS_׉EXTHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 18, 2023 Page 5 Mayor welcomes internationally renowned musician BK Davis to Malden Mayor Gary Christenson and renowned musician BK Davis (courtesy of the City of Malden) M ayor Gary Christenson was pleased to welcome internationally renowned musician Byron “BK” Davis to Malden.

The guilty verdict in the 32-year-old “cold case” was announced by Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Malden Police Chief Glenn Cronin this week, following the six-day trial of Rodney Daniels. Daniels, who was arrested in Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, on Sept. 27, 2021, was held without bail for nearly two years here in Massachusetts following his extradition on murder charges. The trial concluded with Daniels’ conviction on Tuesday. No sentencing date has yet been announced.

(Courtesy/Middlesex District Attorney’s Offi ce) A series of discoveries, including re-interviewing of witnesses, the emergence of a new witness from the decades-old case and an alibi witness who changed her story before she died, implicating Daniels in the shooting, subsequently telling others Daniels ditched the murder weapon immediately after the crime, added up to charges against him.

Daniels had been staying in that home on the evening of the murder, the report stated. “When a family loses a loved one in a homicide, even the passage of time never fully heals that wound. That is especially true when they do not have answers about what happened and no one has been held accountable,” DA Marian Ryan said Wednesday, the day after the conviction was confi rmed. “Those who knew and loved Tricia have been waiting over three decades for answers. When I created our Cold Case Unit it was my hope that we would be able to get to these resolutions.” DA Ryan: “These Rodney Daniels, 50, of Georgia, formerly of Malden, was convicted of fi rst-degree murder in the 1991 shooting of Patricia “Tricia” Moreno outside her Henry Street apartment in Malden. Daniels is shown at his arraignment in the fall of 2021 after his arrest in Georgia. (Courtesy/NBC News) older cases present substantial challenges” “These older cases present substantial challenges and require relentless investigative work and dedicated resources,” DA Ryan added. Investigators also began re-interviewing witnesses and were able to locate a witness who had been out of the United States for an extended period, according to DA Ryan. That witness, who lived in the second-fl oor apartment at the time of Patricia’s murder, revealed that on the night of the murder he had been awakened by a loud noise and immediately looked up through the third-fl oor fi re escape. “He saw a young woman (later identifi ed as Patricia Moreno) struggling to breathe with a male standing over her. He watched as that male retreated into the foster family’s apartment,” according to a news release from the DA’s offi ce. “The witness was able to provide a physical description of that man which was consistent with the appearance of Rodney Daniels.” Further, “Investigators also developed new information that an alibi witness, who had protected Daniels in 1991, had later admitted to her friends and family members that Daniels had killed Tricia, that he had concealed the murder weapon inside an armchair and that he had subsequently disposed of the gun.” Investigators: Alibi witness admitted she lied to the grand jury “That alibi witness, although now deceased, had admitted that she lied to police investigators and an investigating grand jury in 1991 in order to protect Daniels.

Milling is the process of removing the top layer of asphalt to a specifi ed and even depth without disturbing the underlying subbase. ] This allows new asphalt to be laid down without increasing the height of the road and saves you time if the subbase doesn't need to be fi xed.

In a whirl of color and a pattering of experienced and demonstrative steps, a group of young Malden YWCA summer camp students were taken on a journey to places they have never even wondered about. On this recent summer morning, some wide-eyed Malden youth were treated to and thrilled by a performance by Anjali Nath, an expert professional in the art of Kathak Dance. The Malden YWCA program is one of about a dozen municipally-run and private programs that were hosted and based this summer at MHS, through the generosity of the Malden Public Schools, the offi ce of Mayor Gary Christenson and the City of Malden. Kathak one of eight major forms of dance from India Kathak is one of the eight major forms of classical dance from India. Kathak is characterized by intricate footwork and precise rhythmic patterns that the dancer articulates by controlling about 100 ankle bells, according to an online report. Kathak was infl uenced by both Hindu and Muslim culture and is part of the Malden YWCA’s camp goals of sharing new experiences with its young students; they got a fi rsthand look at an ancient art through Nath’s performance. Attired in a beautiful, fl owing red sari with gold highlights, Nath began a detailed presentation for the students and YWCA staff in the classroom, which quickly evolved into an interactive Kathak dance. Kathak dance includes presentation of a story She explained that almost every Kathak dance involves the presentation of a story – through the intricate moves of the dance itself – and many are connected with themes of family, nature and love. As she progressed through her fi rst story involving various animals in the woods, including an interaction of a deer and a hunter, the young Malden children were mesmerized as she went HISTORY OF KATHAK: Anjali Nath talks to the Malden students, telling the history of the Dance of Kathak from India.

He was arraigned in Georgia as a fugitive from justice and was transported back to Massachusetts to face trial for murder. A release from the DA’s office explained the circumstances of Tricia’s shooting and later, her passing. “On the night of Patricia’s death, police responded to the third floor apartment at 21 Henry Street, Malden, where Patricia Moreno, known to those who loved her as Tricia, was found with a single gunshot wound to the head. That home was a foster home where she had been placed.” Also living in that apartment were the foster mother, her two teenage daughters, and the older daughter’s boyfriend, Rodney Daniels. According to reports, when police and emergency medical personnel arrived, Tricia was found alone, face down, on the third floor fire escape landing, still breathing but seriously injured. She was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital, where it was determined that she had suffered an irreversible brain injury. She died that afternoon as a result of the gunshot wound. No weapon or shell casing were ever found, delaying the probe Despite an extensive search, no weapon or cartridge casing was recovered from the scene.

According to the DA’s report, “The other occupants of the apartment claimed that they had heard a pair of gunshots, but had no information as to the identity of the shooter. There was no evidence of forced entry into the home.” “When the police interviewed Rodney Daniels, he claimed that he had been sleeping in an armchair in the living room when he was awakened by the sound of two gunshots,” according to the DA. “He claimed that he had walked out onto the fire escape where he located Patricia Moreno. Her foster mother called for police and an ambulance.” Investigators in the case reported that police learned that Rodney Daniels had been in possession of multiple handguns close in time to the murder, including one that was consistent with a .38 caliber revolver. The investigation also revealed, “In the weeks before her death, Daniels had engaged in threatening behavior towards Tricia.” Although numerous people were interviewed over the course of many years, police had not previously been able to gather sufficient evidence to make an arrest. According to the DA’s office, the prosecutors assigned to this case were David Solet, Chief of the Cold Case Unit, and Jamie Charles, Senior Appellate Counsel.

I was very surprised to read that Mayor Gary Christenson would have the audacity to show his face alongside the Disability Commission. For years, YEARS, the request of Malden’s disabled seniors have been ignored by Mayor Christenson. Since the new Malden City Hall was opened, the front door has not been accessible. There is no automatic door opener on the inner door and the one that was instated on the outer door hardly ever works. Often it takes a number of helpful city employes to open the doors so that the disabled seniors can enter and exit the building. So, the question remains, “WHY?” Sincerely, Harold Litchfi eld Malden Resident “This is how I get in and out of City Hall” ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS...Well maintained 6 room, 3 bedrooms, 1 bath cape style home on a dead-end street.

The Mac Singleton League included Divisions with players in grades 4-56, 7-8 and 9-12. Once again, the league was run in collaboration with the Malden Police Department, with MPD patrol officers, sergeants and school resource officers all lending a hand with coaching or supporting the players each week. The matching of the police officers and the youth players is one facet that pays big dividends, according to the Malden Rec coordinator. “It builds relationships between our youth and a key public safety agency in our city. The kids and the police officers get to know each other … and it is beneficial to everyone involved,” Levine said. The six-week season was capped by “Championship Wednesday” on July 5, and three division champs were crowned. Each player on each team received a hoodie for winning the playoffs, and everyone in the park was treated to a pizza party, compliments of the Mac Singleton League and Pisa Pizza (133 Pearl St., Malden) and owner Joe Crowley. Malden Rec Coordinator Levine said he and the league were grateful to Malden Police Chief Glenn Cronin and Sgts. Phil Halloran, Trent Headley, Rob O’Brien and a slew of others in the Malden PD for their time and passion on behalf of the Malden players. In a special presentation, longtime Malden Police Officer Phil Halloran, who coaches every year in the summer and winter leagues and was recently elevated to SerCOACH CHUCK AND TEAM: Malden Police “Coach Chuck’s” Green Team won the youngest division championship, and he celebrated the win with his guys after the finals. geant, was named “Coach of the Year.” *** PLAYOFF CHAMPIONSHIP SCORES In the Grades 4-5-6 Division, the final score was Green Team 26, Yellow 20 in the playoff final. For Grades 9-12, Yellow Team prevailed over Green Team, 5549, in a game that went right down to the wire. In the evening’s finale, for Grades 7-8 Division, Grey topped Blue, 43-41, in double overtime.

The names Dyer – Goodwin – Chakour may not mean anything individually to music fans, but I’m willing to bet if you follow rock music you have seen them perform somewhere between 2,000 seat theatres and 200,000 seat stadiums. They were long-time key members of bands such as Woodstock legend Joe Cocker and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Tina Turner, as well as Boston’s own J. Geils Band and the Mohegan Sun All-Stars. Among the hundreds of shows the three of them have done are Tina’s incredible “Break Every Rule World Tour”, and Cocker’s “Unchain My Heart World Tour”. Performed on records by artists, aside from Turner and Cocker, such as Robert Palmer, Ric Ocasek, and James Montgomery.

After the crash course in educational technology that was the 2020 school year, teachers and students are increasingly confident in using technology for learning. Though its role in the classroom will continue to evolve, a precedent has been set – technology is now a critical component of education. Market research firm Deloitte details how educational shifts influence consumer shopping habits: “Digital learning tools are replacing traditional school supplies, driving tech sales up 37% YoY.” Data shows that consumers are planning to make more technology purchases and use digital technology to make those purchases. Deloitte research indicates that nearly half of consumers want to shop online for technology purchases. Consumers say quality and price are the top two factors driving their purchase decisions. However, shortages of essential supplies like computer chips might limit the options available to shoppers. These trends put consumers in a risky position – needing products but can’t find them from trustworthy sellers. In times like these, scams are increasingly likely. As families begin to invest in reliable technology, the Better Business Bureau® (BBB) advises shoppers to beware of scammers who could spoil their hopes for academic success. Scammers might target shoppers with phony deals, enticing ads and attractive but fake websites. Savvy online shopping is necessary to ensure you don’t fall prey to a scam. BBB offers these tips for buying tech products ahead of the new school year: • Shop with familiar retailers. Laptops, tablets or other tech accessories can be a significant investment. Shop with businesses you know and trust to ensure you get a quality product and good customer service. • Don’t buy from impostors. Fraudsters might use the name, logo and other characteristics of trusted brands. Closely examine the website to verify they are who they are. • Approach low prices with caution. Low prices and short-term sales could signal you’ve encountered a scam. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. BBB TIP | SEE PAGE 21 Public invited to appeal or comment on flood maps in Middlesex County, Mass. P reliminary flood risk information and updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps are available for review by residents and business owners in affected communities in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Residents and business owners are encouraged to review the latest information to learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance requirements. The updated maps were produced in coordination with local, state and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials. Significant community review of the maps has already taken place. Before the maps become final, community stakeholders can raise questions or concerns about the information provided and participate in the 90-day appeal and comment periods, which will begin on or around August 28, 2023. The affected communities in Middlesex County are listed in the Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations Notice in the Federal Register and can be found at https://www.federalregister. gov/documents/2023/07/31/2023-16142/proposed-flood-hazard-determinations Residents may submit an appeal if they think modeling or data used to create the map is technically or scientifically incorrect. ● An appeal must include technical information, such as hydraulic or hydrologic data, to support the claim. ● Appeals cannot be based on the effects of proposed projects or projects started after the study is in progress. ● If property owners see incorrect information that does not change the flood hazard information – such as a missing or misspelled road name in the Special Flood Hazard Area or an incorrect corporate boundary – they can submit a written comment. The next step in the mapping process is to resolve all comments and appeals. Once these are resolved, FEMA will notify communities of the effective date of the final maps. To review the preliminary maps or submit appeals and comments, contact your local floodplain administrator (FPA). A FEMA Map Specialist can identify your community FPA. Specialists are available by telephone at 1-877-FEMA-MAP (1-877-336-2627) or by email at FEMA-FMIX@ fema.dhs.gov.

We finish the delivery and are about to hop back into the cab when Tee Wilson walks by with his Doberman. My dad pulls out a flank steak that had fallen out of a box and gives it to Tee for the pup. Happiness all around and a friend made for life. Cambridge Street in Cam529 PLANS AND ROTH IRA ROLLOVERS Beginning in calendar year 2024, 529 College Savings Plan account holders will be able to roll over the funds in a 529 plan investment account into a Roth IRA in the name of the beneficiary of the 529 plan up to a $35,000 lifetime limit. The 529 plan must have been owned by the beneficiary of the plan for at least 15 years. This is a valuable option when a child or grandchild decides not to go to college. If there are no other children or grandchildren with their own 529 plan to roll the monies into, rolling the 529 plan assets to a Roth IRA in the name of the beneficiary not going to college is a good option, so long as the amount rolled over does not exceed $35,000. If the remaining assets in the plan then need to be cashed out, income taxes will be paid on the earnings as well as a 10% penalty. The contributions each year to the Roth IRA are subject to a limit. The limit for 2023 is $6,500. The conversion of 529 plan assets apply only to Roth IRA’s, not Traditional IRA’s. This was included in the SECURE 2.0 Act passed by Congress at the end of calendar year 2022. If, for example, there was $32,500 in your son’s 529 plan and he decided not to go to college, you could roll over $6,500 per year over the next five years into his Roth IRA account until the 529 plan assets were fully exhausted. At the end of the five-year period, the 529 plan assets would be depleted and your son’s Roth IRA account would be equal to $32,500 plus any earnings over that five-year period. There are no modified adjusted gross income limitations with respect to the ability to fund the Roth IRA contribution each year by rolling over monies from the 529 plan. However, your son or daughter would have to have at least $6,500 in earned income in order to max out on the Roth IRA contribution each year. The Roth IRA contribution limit will increase to $7,000 in 2024. There is an additional $1,000 contribution allowed for those individuals who are 50 years of age or older. The IRS needs to clarify whether or not there needs to be sufficient earned income in order to rollover funds from the 529 plan to the Roth IRA in the name of the 529 plan beneficiary. If your son or daughter had $32,500 in the 529 plan and the funds were rolled over to a Roth IRA, if the monies were invested over a 40-year period earning 8% per year, the balance in the account would exceed $706,000. This is another good reason to consider opening up a 529 plan for a child or grandchild. You now have more options available down the road if circumstances change and a child or grandchild decides not to attend college. Joseph D.

I hear it first on ‘MEX: Our “long national nightmare” is over. For days the Malden Evening News covered the resignation in depth. Editor David Brickman was at the top of his game in 1974 and was a power player in Greater Boston journalistic circles, his Malden Evening News the envy of every local daily in the New England area. Here is a very small sample of what transpired on the pages of the old Malden Evening News 49 years ago this August. An article called... “Relief, Sadness Greet Resignation” “It was a hot, slow day in Malden Square Thursday afternoon as the United States prepared to change presidents by resignation for the first time in its history. “Maybe it was the weather, but most persons interviewed in and around the Square simply shrugged their shoulders and wondered what else Richard M. Nixon could have done. “No one thought the President should have stayed in office and fought impeachment through to the Senate floor, though two persons said they were sorry to see him go. “As for Gerald Ford, who will become the 38th President of the United States, almost everyone echoed Louis Yanakopoulos, who said, ‘I don’t know anything about him.’ “Yanakopoulos, a Malden man, said he was happy to see Nixon go, and added he was glad the President had chosen to do it by resigning rather than putting the country through the ‘turmoil’ of an impeachment trial. “A woman waiting for a bus in front of the Malden Savings Bank said with a smile that she was happy that Nixon would soon be out of office and agreed that he should not have taken his case to the Senate.” “It’s Rough” “‘Impeachment is harder on the people,’ the woman said as she waited to board a bus drawing up, ‘and harder on his family too,’ adding she had voted for Nixon in 1968. “A Rhode Island man in town for a job interview said how Nixon leaves office, ‘makes no difference as long as he leaves.’ “Frank Mastrati, of Cranston, outside of Providence, said he had no opinion on Gerald Ford, and added he thought Nixon had, ‘done enough to be impeached, but was also hounded out by the media.’ [My note: that sound familiar?] “Mastrati was against prosecuting the president for any crimes he may have committed in connection with Watergate but thought Nixon should be losing the office of the president, which was enough punishment. “Virtually everyone questioned as to their feelings on what looks like the end of the longest political story in the nation’s history spoke slowly and apparently with some thought. “One man walked a block through Malden Square pondering his reaction on Nixon’s resignation before simply saying, ‘I don’t think he has any choice.’ “Many persons interviewed on the street said only that Nixon had no other option open to him, refused to give their names, acting, in the words of one man, as though, ‘There is nothing to say.’ “Only two people still supported President Nixon, though they both agreed that Nixon had no real option open to him but resignation. “William Powling of Revere said the president has done, ‘More good than bad, and everyone is a crook,’ and that he thought Nixon had, ‘definitely been persecuted.’ As for Ford, Powling shrugged his shoulders and said, ‘I didn’t vote for him, no one did.’ “The one other man who called himself a Nixon supporter was a visitor from Attica, New York, who echoed Powling with the comment, ‘He’s just another crook, one who got caught.’ “The New Yorker, Ray Kiskis, said despite his support of the president, he was glad to see him resign instead of fighting impeachment, ‘that just would have made more trouble.’” “Very happy” “Two persons in the Square were quite glad Nixon would soon be out of office. Pierce Butler of Brighton and Barbara Bishop of Malden. “Butler said he was ‘overjoyed to have him out,’ and said he didn’t mind that Nixon had not been impeached, ‘The primary thing is that he is no longer president.’” Postscript 1: Louie Yanakopoulos is alive and well in 2023 and was spotted last weekend at the San Rock Feast making merry and living la dolce vita.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports local senators’ roll call attendance records so far for the 2023 session. The Senate has held 61 roll calls so far in the 2023 session. Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates the number of roll calls on which each senator voted 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. Thirty-two (82 percent) of the current 39 senators (one seat is vacant) 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. Current Senate President Karen Spilka follows that tradition and only voted on 12 (20 percent) of the 61 roll calls while not voting on 49 (80 percent) of them. Six (15 percent) of the 39 senators, other than Spilka, missed one or more roll calls. Sen. Liz Miranda (D-Boston) has the worst record. She missed nine roll calls for a roll call attendance record of 85.2 percent. The other five senators missed one roll call each for a roll call attendance record of 98.3 percent. They are Sens. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington), Adam Gomez (D-Springfield), John Keenan (D-Quincy), Patrick O'Connor (R-Weymouth) and Mike Rush (D-West Roxbury). Beacon Hill Roll Call contacted the six senators asking why they missed some roll calls. Only one of the six responded. “Although present in the Senate chamber for the one roll call in which I did not participate this session, I chose not to vote due to a potential conflict of interest,” said Sen. Keenan. The vote Keenan missed was on Gov. Maura Healey’s reorganization plan that would split the current Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development into two separate cabinet level departments: the new Secretary of Housing and Livable Communities and the renamed Secretary of Economic Development. Keenan did not respond to a request by Beacon Hill Roll Call to explain the potential conflict of interest. Sens. Miranda, Barrett, Gomez, O’Connor and Rush did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them for a statement. SENATORS’ 2023 ROLL CALL ATALSO UP ON BEACON HILL GOV. HEALEY SIGNS $56 BILLION BUDGET – Gov. Maura Healey signed into law a $56 billion fiscal 2024 state budget. The package represents a 6.2 percent increase over last year’s budget signed by Former Gov. Charlie Baker. Healey vetoed $272 million in spending and the Legislature now has the opportunity to override the vetoes with a two-thirds vote of each branch. "This budget makes our state more affordable, competitive and equitable," Healey said. "It will make a real and meaningful difference in the lives of people across Massachusetts, lowering their costs, expanding access to opportunity, improving the quality of their life." Provisions include $171.5 million to fund a requirement that all public schools provide free school lunches to all K-12 students in all schools regardless of family income; and free breakfast only to the students in schools which participate in the breakfast program. According to Project Bread, which was at the forefront of the coalition working to pass the law, 1,961 (91.8 percent) of Bay State schools participate in the breakfast program. Massachusetts has now joined seven states, California, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, Vermont and Michigan that have passed laws to make school meals permanent. “Today, Massachusetts made history,” said Erin McAleer, President and CEO of Project Bread. “This victory for families across the commonwealth will have a lasting impact on generations of students to come.” The package also allows undocumented/illegal immigrants to qualify for the lower in-state college tuition rate if they attended high school here for at least three years and graduated or completed a GED. Other provisions include $50 million to support free community colleges; $50 million to create Green School Works, a program to fund projects to install and maintain clean energy infrastructure at public schools; $6.59 billion in Chapter 70 education funding for cities and towns, an increase of $604 million over last year; $504.5 million for the special education circuit breaker; $181 million for MBTA capital projects; $19.81 billion for MassHealth, the state’s Medicaid program that provides health care for low-income and disabled persons; and a new law that prisons must provide free unlimited incoming and outgoing phone calls for prisoners. THE GOVERNOR DECLARES A STATE OF EMERGENCY – Gov. Healey declared a state of emergency in Massachusetts due to the “rapidly rising numbers of migrant families arriving in Massachusetts in need of shelter and services and a severe lack of shelter availability in the state.” “State employees and our partners have been miracle workers throughout this crisis – going above and beyond to support families and using every tool at their disposal to expand shelter capacity by nearly 80 percent in the last year,” said Healey. “But in recent months, demand has increased to levels that our emergency shelter system cannot keep up with, especially as the number of families leaving shelters has dwindled due to a lack of affordable housing options and barriers to securing work.” TENDANCE RECORDS THROUGH AUGUST 11, 2023 The percentage listed next to the THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 18, 2023 Healey continued, “I am declaring a Page 19 senator’s name is the percentage of roll call votes on which the senator voted. The number in parentheses represents the number of roll calls that he or she missed. Sen. Jason Lewis 100 percent (0) state of emergency in Massachusetts and urging my partners in the federal government to take the action we need to address this crisis by streamlining the work authorization process and passing comprehensive immigration reform. Many of the new arrivals to our state desperately want to work, and we have historic workforce demands across all industries. I am also calling on all of our partners – from cities and towns to the faith community - philanthropic organizations and human service providers – to rise to this challenge and do whatever you can to help us meet this moment.” The Healey administration also urged landlords, houses of worship, universities, businesses and private residents to open their facilities, homes and businesses to help house immigrants. "This is not a crisis that our family shelter system was designed to handle," said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. "For months now, state government and our providers have been doing the work of stretching the system as far as it can safely go. But we really need to bring more people into this work to make it a true team effort. If you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family. Safe housing and shelter is our most pressing need." Meanwhile, the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance condemned what it calls “the Biden administration’s failure to properly secure the southern border and the Healey administration for being complacent.” “Immigration should not be politicalized but the Biden administration is either playing politics or we are watching a historic failure in leadership,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “While Washington’s dysfunction may seem far removed, their failures are now starting to have a very real and tangible negative impact in Massachusetts.” Craney continued, “It’s no secret Gov. Maura Healey likes to travel out of state, perhaps it is time [for] the governor to take a trip to the southern border to see firsthand the open southern border crisis. Without recognizing the severity of the problem and reasons for it, which is an open border and unaccountable president, it will persist by draining resources from Massachusetts and its taxpayers.” FREE COLLEGE TUITION FOR KIDS RAISED BY NON-PARENTS INCLUDING GRANDPARENTS (H 1257, S 819) – A bill heard by the Higher Education Committee would provide tuition and fee waivers for any Bay State resident attending a Massachusetts public state university and who lives with a grandparent or other family member, other than their parents. “The bill would provide much-needed financial relief for young adults pursuing higher education in the commonwealth who were raised by family members other than their parents – such as grandparents," said Senate sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “Foster children under Department of Children and Families (DCF) care have been entitled to a tuition-free education at state-schools for several years,” said House sponsor Rep. Paul Donato (D-Medford). “With 35,000 grandparents raising their grandchildren throughout the commonwealth, this legislation will allow students being raised by their grandparents to have an equal opportunity to a tuition-free education as their peers in DCF care.” FREE TUITION FOR SENIORS OVER 60 (H 1274) – Another measure before the Higher Education Committee would establish a pilot reimburseBHRC| SEE PAGE 20 1.

Dear Savvy Senior, How does Medicare cover preventive health screenings? I’m due to get a physical and a colonoscopy this year, but I want to fi nd out what I’ll have to pay for before I go in. Just Turned 65 Dear Just Turned, You’ll be happy to know that Medicare covers a wide array of preventive and screening services to help you stay healthy, but not all services are completely covered. Here’s what you should know. Free Preventive Benefi ts Most of Medicare’s preventive services are available to all benefi - ciaries (through Part B) completely free with no copays or deductibles, as long as you meet basic eligibility standards. Mammograms; colonoscopies; shots against fl u, pneumonia, COVID-19 and hepatitis B; screenings for diabetes, depression, osteoporosis, HIV, various cancers and cardiovascular disease; and counseling to combat obesity, alcohol abuse, and smoking are just some of Medicare’s lengthy list of covered services. But to get these services for free, you need to go to a doctor who accepts Medicare “on assignment,” which means he or she has agreed to accept the Medicare approved rate as full payment. Also, the tests are free only if they’re used at specifi ed intervals. For example, cardiovascular screening blood tests once every 5 years; or colonoscopy, once every 10 years, or every two years if you’re at high risk. Medicare also off ers a free “Welcome to Medicare” exam with your doctor in your fi rst year, along with annual “Wellness” visits thereafter. But don’t confuse these with full physical examinations. These are prevention-focused visits that provide only an overview of your health and medical risk factors and serve as a baseline for future care. Cost Sharing Services There are, however, a few Medicare preventive services that do require some out-of-pocket cost sharing. With these tests, you’ll have to pay 20 percent of the cost of the service after you’ve met your $226 Part B yearly deductible. The services that fall under this category include glaucoma tests, diabetes self-management trainings, barium enemas to detect colon cancer, and digital rectal exams to detect prostate cancer. For a complete list of services along with their eligibility requirements, visit Medicare.gov/coverage/preventive-screening-services. If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan, your plan is also required to cover the same preventive services as original Medicare as long as you see in-network providers. Hidden Costs You also need to know that while most of the previously listed Medicare services are free, you can be charged for certain diagnostic services or additional tests or procedures related to the preventive service. For example, if your doctor fi nds and removes a polyp during your preventive care colonoscopy screening, you will pay 15 percent of the doctor’s service fee. Or, if during your annual wellness visit, your doctor needs to investigate or treat a new or existing problem, you will probably be charged here too. You may also have to pay a facility fee depending on where you receive the service. Certain hospitals, for example, will often charge separate facilities fees when you are receiving a preventive service. And you can also be charged for a doctor’s visit if you meet with a physician before or after the service. To eliminate billing surprises, talk to your doctor before any preventive service procedure to fi nd out if you may be subject to a charge and what it would be.

Wreaths Across America Announces 2023 Back-to-School Curriculum COLUMBIA FALLS, Maine— August 14, 2023 — Today, Wreaths Across America (WAA) announces new, back-to-school curriculum as part of its yearround TEACH program. The free, downloadable, standards-based lesson plans include resources for all grade levels. The K-12 curriculum includes new lesson plans for Constitution Day and lessons focused on the Navajo Code Talkers and Patriot Day.

Lesson plans and other educational resources are standards-based and created for teachers, parents and anyone educating young people. BHRC | FROM PAGE 19 ment program for Massachusetts public higher education institutions providing tuition and fee waivers to senior citizens above the age of 60. The program would apply, subject to availability and a maximum of four courses per academic years, to qualifying seniors who are enrolled in undergraduate programs, summer sessions, evening classes or any specifi c higher education courses between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024. “The state’s public higher education institutions currently off er waivers for qualifying seniors, but the program is poorly utilized,” said sponsor GOP House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “This bill creates a mechanism for reimbursing these institutions and establishes a stable baseline funding level for future budget cycles. The goal is to encourage more seniors to take classes while also ensuring that the state’s colleges and universities are properly compensated for lost revenues.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Former Gov. Charlie Baker had no authority to mandate the experimental COVID shots and deny religious accommodations to these state troopers. Let us never forget this insanity. This is a great victory for these troopers and more public servants must also be reinstated and given back pay.” ---Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver on an arbitrator’s decision that seven state troopers who were suspended in 2021 for refusing the COVID-19 Throughout the year, the WAA TEACH program provides educational opportunities for people nationwide to engage with veterans in their communities. Schools, school-related clubs, and other organizations can fundraise through the Group Sponsorship Program. In 2022 generous supporters made it possible for WAA to launch a K-12 curriculum aligned with the National Council on Social Studies and state Common Core standards. WAA is also conducting its 2023 Youth Service Project, where young people are encouraged to execute a community service project. The service projects must be completed by Veterans Day, November 11, 2023. “Teaching the next generation the value of freedom is an important component of our misshot for religious reasons must be reinstated and receive retroactive pay and earned seniority. “This signifi cant expansion of the [program] will make electric vehicles more aff ordable and accessible for residents of all income levels. Residents will now be able to get their rebates the day they buy their car, instead of waiting for the funds to come in. And income-eligible folks will now be able to get additional rebates, including for used vehicles. This is a great development in our eff orts toward an equitable clean energy transition.” ---Gov. Healey announcing changes to the Massachusetts Offers Rebates for Electric Vehicles Program which provides rebates for the purchase or lease of battery electric and fuel cell electric vehicles. “Healthcare is a right not a privilege. Medicare for All ensures we affi rm that belief through policies that make it true, in practice, for all of our families.” ---Boston City Councilor Ricardo Arroyo on the council’s passage of his resolution in support of state legislation that would establish Medicare for all in Massachusetts. 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 sion, as is fostering good character,” said Cindy Tatum, WAA TEACH Curriculum Developer and Gold Star Mother. “Whether they are a teacher with many years of experience or a firstyear teacher, we appreciate the educators who work to inspire future generations of Americans to be the best version of themselves they can be. We hope this curriculum helps teachers plan their year and engage our most precious resource – our children!” To learn more about the TEACH program and access free, downloadable lesson plans, please visit www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/teach. To subscribe to Teaching Times, the quarterly TEACH program newsletter, please visit https://learn.wreathsacrossamerica.org/teach-newsletter. 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 fi led. 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. During the week of August 7-11, the House met for a total of 30 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 13 minutes.

Casaletto Of Peabody, formerly of Malden. Passed away peacefully at home on August 11th, surrounded by his loving family and friends at the age of 89. Joseph, fondly known since birth as “Chubby” was born on November 6, 1933 to the late James and Winifred Casaletto. Chub was raised in Malden by his beloved father James Casaletto and his cherished “Mom” Helen Casaletto. Chub is survived by his devoted wife, Claire M. (Doyle) Casaletto, who was the absolute love of his life, and loyally by his side for sixty-six wonderful years. Together they raised six beautiful children, who were the heart and soul of Chub’s life. Beloved father of Thomas M. Casaletto and his wife Tresa of Medford, Robert D. Casaletto and his wife Kathryn of Rowley, Gerald W. Casaletto and his wife Lisa of Peabody, Susan P. Corcoran and her husband Steven of Lynnfield, Edwin J. Casaletto and his wife Julann of Malden, Michael D. Casaletto of Peabody, and daughter in law Tracy Casaletto of Chelmsford. Chub was the epitome of the word “Patriarch”. He was by far the proudest, and most present grandfather to his fourteen grandchildren, and five great grandchildren, as well as his little “Sweet Pea” on the way, all of whom loved and adored Grampy immensely. Cherished grandfather of Lauren Casaletto-Barry and her husband Robert, James Casaletto and his wife Katherine, Zachary Casaletto and his fiancé Lindsay, Steven Corcoran, Kelly Corcoran, Christianna Casaletto and her fiancé Brent, Gabrielle Casaletto, Yvonne Corcoran, Sophia Casaletto, Lucas Casaletto, Clayton Casaletto, William Casaletto, Julia Casaletto, and Joshua Casaletto.

He was a master pipefitter and a dedicated foreman of the entire maintenance department at General Foods in Woburn for over twenty-five years, where his leadership abilities went unmatched. After retirement from General Foods, Chub remained on as a consultant for the company up until he began working with his sons in the plumbing and construction trade, as their most loyal attribute for close to thirty years. Also known for his love of music, Chub spent his entire life singing and dancing to his favorite tunes. He enjoyed playing the trumpet, was king of the dance floor, and a master entertainer for all. Chub was an avid golfer, and always looked forward to his yearly trips to Poland Springs for his annual weekend golf tournament with family, and his extraordinary best friends. His love of hockey led him into coaching Malden Youth Hockey for years, where Chub’s athletic skills and delivery in teaching the sport were only exceeded by his compassion, and guidance that he naturally provided for the countless children he inspired along the way. Above all of Chub’s joys were his family and friends. His best buddies were close to his heart, and their friendships were unwavering. Chub’s wife, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were his world, as he was theirs. He wore his large, loving, close family as a badge of honor, and his greatest achievement. Together at events, or one on one, each child, grandchild, and great grandchild uniquely knew how they were his favorite. Chub will forever be remembered for his love, guidance, faithfulness, zest for life, and most importantly, for the way he made people feel.
