Mystic Valley Regional Charter School
A History of Partnering with the City of Malden
Howard Park
Summer
2010
The City of Malden, through
the Malden Redevelopment
Authority, sought
proposals (RFP) from entities
interested in
entering long-term lease
arrangements for the use
of South Broadway Park.
Two entities responded to
the RFP with serious
proposals. One was
MVRCS, the other was
Malden Catholic (MC) High
School.
Fall
2010
In September of 2010, the
city solicited new designs for
Howard Park.
In November of 2010, The
city published a preliminary
schematic design and cost
estimate for South Broadway
Park. Not including soft costs,
the plan was estimated to be
$6.4 million. Soft costs would
make the project exceed $7
million.
Spring
2011
In April of 2011, the Malden
City Council voted to authorize
a bond of $12.45 million for
recreational and open space
improvements in the city,
the largest of its kind in the
city’s history. In that plan, $5.5
million was earmarked for the
construction of a new South
Broadway Park.
The $5.5 million was not the full
amount needed to complete
construction on what would
become Howard Park. The
mayor was authorized, by a
City Council vote of 10 to 0,
to negotiate with MC and
MVRCS, to close the $2 millon
funding gap.
Summer
2015
Howard Park opens to the
public.
25 years
g
Summer
2013
MVRCS signed a 25-year
lease agreement with City
of Malden to pay a rental fee
of $23,300 twice per year
(fall and spring high school
athletics season), for a total
of $46,600 annually. an
amount equal to nearly $1.2
million over the life of the
agreement.. The agreement
permitted MVRCS exclusive
use of Howard Park for two
hours per day, commencing
upon the park’s completion in
2015.
Key Facts
u Before the agreement, both MVRCS and
MC occupied the park during
approximately the same hours for more
than a decade, paying the city less than
$150 per year for a permit.
u With the reconstruction of Howard Park
came the addition of four tennis courts,
which did not previously exist.
u Perhaps the greatest improvement
to the park, because of the
additional payments the city
negotiated, was the addition of a
turf field and field lighting. The lights
enabled nighttime play, which was
never the case in the past. Together,
the lighting and turf field surface
increased playing time by more than 50
percent.
u This contribution, which largely
benefitted the Maplewood
neighborhood compensates for any
other park space that MVRCS may
periodically use today, including
Trafton Park in Maplewood Square.
To put this in perspective, the cost of renting a turf field for a full season in the City of Malden,
according to the rates published in 2018, is $100. Mystic Valley is paying over 200 times that rate for
its seasonal permit. Mystic Valley entered into this agreement to lock in a long-term benefit for the
school and its students. However, it is clear that this collaboration benefitted—and will continue to
benefit—the City of Malden for many years to come.
We look forward to a time when we can continue to collaborate with
the City of Malden in a mutually-beneficial manner

2020 and there was a transition
to remote learning for remainder
of the 2019-20 school year.
Most of the 2020-21 school year
remained in a remote learning
mode for majority of students.
About half of the Malden Public
Schools students returned
for in-person learning in the
spring of 2021, while the others
remained in a hybrid learning
model for the remainder of
the school year.
On Wednesday, Malden Mayor
Gary Christenson and fi rstyear
Superintendent Dr. Ligia
Noriega-Murphy visited
all of the schools in the district,
greeting students and
staff alike.
Both the Mayor and Superintendent
made a special visit
to greet the newest students at
Malden High School, the fi rstyear
ninth-graders.For the fi rst
time in two years, the freshmen
students received a now traditional
hero's welcome, with the
entire 170-plus Malden High
School staff lined up the greet
them on the steps of the Jenkins
Auditorium.
For the return to the school,
there are extensive, detailed
protocols in place to ensure the
health, safety and well-being of
the students and staff .
Supt. Dr. Noriega-Murphy
outlined all of these safety precautions
and protocols when
she outlined the MPS School
Year Entry Plan at the Malden
School Committee meeting
Monday night.

Leonard Iovino, who heads
the Student Enrollment Committee,
reported that there were
5,711 students enrolled in the
Malden Public Schools in grades
masks for preschool aged children.

begins.
Additionally, there are close

for entry this school year
through the Parent Information
Center. When that process
is completed, there will be close
to 6,200 students enrolled districtwide,
which would be comparable
to the number of district

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 3, 2021
Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday –
Irish American Labor Day Road Race
By Peter F. Levine
T
he Malden tradition that we
all know and love so much
is back! Yes, it is that time of the
year again, Maldonians! Summer
is sadly in our rearview mirror,
but with that glum news
comes some really happy news!
The annual Irish American Labor
Day Road Race making Maldonians
very happy will happen
once again!
I ran into old friend Mike McCarthy
at the Saint Rocco Festa
just last weekend! Mike reminded
me that he, Brian Killion,
and the rest of those wonderful
folks at the Irish American Club
will be sponsoring their annual
I.A. 5k/10k Road Race again, this
time at 10 a.m. on Monday, September
6.
This is the best time of the
year and I just love this event.
It is truly what makes Malden
special. Brian assured me that
there is still plenty of time to
register. Call him at 781-8206358
with any questions or go
to www.runsignup.com to register
beforehand. Also, if you
are inclined, just go to the Irish
American on West Street in person
the day of the race to register.
The signup fee is $30 until
10:30 a.m. Brian wanted to stress
once again that all proceeds will
go to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
No better way to spend
your hard-earned money than
knowing that all proceeds go
to fighting this dreaded disease.
For male and female runners,
medallions will be awarded
for the fi rst-, second- and thirdplace
fi nishers for many diff erent
categories.
Brian also wanted to make
sure everybody knew that all
festivities would take place outside
the Irish Club on the day of
the race. COVID-19 cautious is
how Brian explained it to me.
Family, friends, or complete
strangers, come by and have a
great time. Mark this on your
calendar for a fun fi lled day of
Volunteers at the last Irish American Labor Day Road Race; from left to right are unknown, Judy’s
husband Mike Sullivan and Maureen’s husband Rocky Brooks. (Courtesy Photo)

course) “refreshments” at the always
aff ordable Irish American
prices. This year there will be a
disc jockey playing a variety of
music, including some good
old-fashioned, traditional Irish
tunes. Brian wanted to personally
thank the many sponsors and
volunteers for their continued
support and generosity. Without
them, he told me, this event
could not happen.
“I participated in this race
once way back in the day and
had a blast! I remember the encouragement
from friendly faces
along the route and I also remember
the unforgettable pain
I felt after! But it was loads of fun
despite the pain, and I really enjoyed
the ‘refreshments’ part
of the day after the race. I’ll be

there again this year (not running
though in case you were
wondering) and will be sure to
have a ‘refreshment’ or two in
memory of Mike’s late brother,
the one and only”—Stephen
McCarthy.
Once again expect Mike “Mr.
02148” Cherone and Mayor Gary
Christenson to run the race like
the young bucks they are and
fi nish in the top of their respective
age categories, embarrassing
those of us who have made
the art of the recliner our way of
life these days.
Oh, and by the way, I’ll be sure
to request the DJ program at
least one Pogues song while I’m
there (“Streams of Whiskey”?).
“I saw the light, I saw the light
“No more darkness, no more
night
“Now I’m so happy, no sorrow
in sight
“Praise the Lord, I saw the
light”
It took a chance listening of
this old country gospel classic,
which was written by the “Hillbilly
Shakespeare” himself, Hiram
King ‘Hank’ Williams, to make
you truly appreciate that politics
(local, statewide or national),
version 2021, can be, well,
complicated. For those reading
my humble offerings this
past month or so (and I really
appreciate that you are reading
my humble offerings), I have
been including personal profi
les of certain candidates running
for offi ce this election season.
Not all, just a few. The ones
I’ve featured I’ve had a relationship
with going back years. They
reached out to me some time
back and asked if I could write
a little something, something
about them. A couple of them
are rookies and wanted to introduce
themselves to their fellow
Maldonians – new and older
residents alike. A couple are
grizzled, old veterans from years
past who wanted to reacquaint
themselves to our ever-growing,
ever-changing population.
Lawdy, lawdy! I guess I should
have thought this out a little bit
more before I went to print.
To make a long story short,
some politically active residents
in this politically active city of
ours were disappointed I did not
give equal access to all candidates.
Some pushed back. Most
understood my position. My column
is an odd one – not really
sure what to call it. Human interest?
Local interest? A combination
of both, perhaps? With that
said my articles are not held to
the same standards as objective
news reporting. The opinions
I express are my own. Who
and what I choose to include
is strictly up to me. Also, and
most importantly, there is simply
not enough column space
to include everything and everybody
I would like. Lesson
learned; I’ve seen the light! I’ll
continue to include my “insider
knowledge” of Malden peppered
with that Peter Levine
sense of humor you’ve all come
to know and love, but going forward
this wandering wordsmith
promises to forgo anything that
hints of politics. I’ve seen the
light!! Now back to our regularly
scheduled program.
It’s in the books! Once again we
gathered on (newly paved) Pearl
Street to celebrate Saint Rocco
Feast weekend. Fabulous weather
welcomed pilgrims far and wide
to enjoy this spectacular weekend
of music, food and friendship.
Thank you to the Italian American

Mystic Watershed communities
secure $3.6M in climate resilience
funding
F
ollowing the release of $20
million in state fiscal year
2022 Municipal Vulnerability
Preparedness (MVP) grants,
the Mystic River Watershed Association
(MyRWA) announced
that Resilient Mystic Collaborative
(RMC) cities and towns had
secured a total of $2.6 million in
state funding to help prepare
for extreme weather. Of these
funds, $1.1 million were grants
for multi-community projects
and $1.5 million went to individual
municipalities. In addition,
the Barr Foundation awarded
the RMC a two-year, $950,000
renewal grant, bringing the total
in new climate resilience funding
to over $3.6 million. Such
regional partnerships are critical
to addressing the increasing
risks communities face.
“The recent Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change report
painted a daunting picture
of the hotter, stormier Massachusetts
we are becoming,” said
MyRWA Deputy Director Julie
Wormser. “These new resources,
added to our work together
over the past three years will
help Mystic Watershed communities
protect their people
and places from increasingly extreme
weather events.”
Convened by MyRWA in September
2018 and led by senior
staff from 20 cities and towns
and nongovernmental partners,
RMC focuses on:
• Managing stormwater flooding
on a regional scale
• Preparing critical energy,
transportation, food and wastewater
infrastructure for coastal
storms
• Increasing the resilience of
vulnerable residents and workers
to extreme weather events
• Working with state agencies
to lower the bar for Massachusetts
communities to prepare
for climate challenges
RMC includes 20 of 21 communities
(Arlington, Belmont,
Boston, Burlington, Cambridge,
Chelsea, Everett, Lexington, Malden,
Medford, Melrose, Somerville,
Stoneham, Reading, Revere,
Wakefield, Watertown,
Winchester, Winthrop and Woburn)
representing 98 percent
of the Mystic River Watershed.
It includes nonprofit and private
sector partners as content
experts, with senior municipal
staff serving as the group’s voting
members. All Mystic Watershed
municipalities are welcome
to participate.
“Malden’s $354,600 FY2022
MVP Grant will continue to allow
us to move forward with the
design work on Malden River
Works which is our community’s
effort to incorporate a climate
resilient park at the city’s Department
of Public Works yard,”
said Malden Mayor Gary Christenson.
“This is a crucial precedent-setting
project for Malden
as it establishes new models of
community engagement, implements
green infrastructure,
and promotes the Malden River
Greenway.”

Florence & Chafetz expands assisted living memory care with 12 new apartments
Assisted living now taking reservations for renovated homes
F
lorence & Chafetz Home, a
specialized memory support
residence operated by Chelsea
Jewish Lifecare (CJL), is pleased
to announce the expansion of
its assisted living memory care
residences on September 1,
2021. The 12 newly open private
studio apartments, each
with a private bathroom, showcase
bright and airy common
spaces that foster resident interaction
in a secure environment.
“When we embarked upon
the expansion, our goal was to
create memory care apartments
with an open concept setting,”
said Executive Director Kristen
Donnelly of Florence & Chafetz
Home and Cohen Florence
Levine Estates Assisted Living.
“Most importantly, these new
living spaces enable our residents
with Alzheimer’s or other
forms of dementia to walk about
freely yet safely.”
Interior design elements were
specially selected to enhance the
warm and comforting environment.
The apartments feature individual
heat and air-conditioning
control, handicap accessible
bathrooms, and showers with
seats. Many of the new spaces
overlook the expansive grounds
and courtyard. Common spaces
include a living room, a café with
fresh baked goods, a library, a
courtyard, a dining room, a salon
and a huge activity room.

Citizens Club and Joyce Mover for
making the weekend a smashing
success. The IACC and its members
generously donated their
time, money and resources to
make it yet another San Rock that
we’ll never forget.
Classic hits kings (the hardest
working men in show business)
The Reminisants started the
party on Friday night; they never
disappoint. The best Beatles
tribute act on the North Shore,
our good friends in Beatlejuice,
continued the fun on Saturday
night with another outstanding
set of music. Malden’s very
own Dave Russo killed it on Saturday
also with that quick wit
and charismatic personality.
Saint Rocco just adores Heart
Attack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack, and
so didn’t the Sunday afternoon
gathering – always a crowd
pleaser. In the Albert Spadafora
Beer Garden, Davina Yannetty
brought much joy into people’s
lives with her engaging
personality, musical talent and
a catalog of songs that just does
not quit. A welcome addition to
the Feast, look for Davina to become
a regular going forward.
The music, the food and Maldonians
eager to mingle again
made this year’s Feast one we’ll
soon not forget!
A couple of takeaways from
the Feast: The sadness in the
Palermo family’s faces was palpable.
The sight of the original
Saint Rocco statue in the
bay window of the Della Gatta’s
second floor window gave
me goosebumps. Richie Cremone
was missed. Nick Gizzi,
Andy Rigano, Tony Della Gatta
and the rest of the Grease Pole
organizers are to be applauded
for bringing this cherished tradition
back. Nice to see Derek “The
Big Kahuna” O’Brien, The Big Kahuna’s
mom Laurine, and daughter
Jillian greet the Procession
as we passed them on Thacher
Street. Dom Fermano walking
in the Procession on Sunday was
downright inspirational. Can’t
forget Anthony Spadafora when
talking about the success of the
Saint Rocco Feast. Without that
reassuring way about him, without
his dedication, without that
great sense of pride and wonderful
smile, without Anthony,
the Feast would be in big trouble.
True fact.
“This is the end, beautiful
friend, this is the end, my only
friend, the end” – and now a
word or two from an amazing
young woman, my niece Dorothy
Levine: “My dad isn’t one to
brag about things he has accomplished
and would rather remain
behind the scenes. With that being
said, let me tell you a quick
little story.
“It was 2012 and my dad was in
the Malden Teen Center. A Malden
Police Officer walked in and
overheard a 9th grader make a
negative comment. A light bulb
went off in his head, ‘let me figure
out a way to bring some of
student/athletes and police together.’
First thing he did was
round up 10 high school boys
and 10 Malden Police Officers
and had them play a basketball
game in a closed gym, only a
few of us got to witness that. The
game was fun and competitive,
after they chatted and had pizza
together. During the school year
of 2012 there was a soccer game,
a volleyball game, and a flag
football game. Fast forward 9
years and our police just finished
coaching in their 4th season of
the Mac Singleton outdoor basketball
league. In the past nine
years, they have played pickup
games, run sports leagues and
basketball tournaments together.
The most important thing
about this is that these kids and
adults have made lifelong connections.
Our student-athletes
see that the Malden Police are
just like them coming from the
same streets and having the
same love of sports, while some
of the police say they see themselves
in these kids. My dad [Malden
Recreation Director Joe
Levine] could not have done it
without a group of amazing Malden
police officers and the support
of their department. The
community policing here in Malden
is something special. Thank
you, Dad and Malden Police, for
making this possible.”

MSBA awards $140M-plus for Northeast Metro
Tech building project
W
AKEFIELD – Northeast Metropolitan
Regional Vocational
School (Northeast Metro
Tech) Superintendent David
DiBarri and the Northeast Metro
Tech Building Committee were
pleased to share that the Mascrease.
This is expected to dramatically
shorten the district’s
annual waitlist, which averages
400 students.
“We are grateful to the MSBA
for supporting a new Northeast
Metro Tech, giving our next gendent
DiBarri said.
The new school will feature
21st-century learning environments,
improved Individualized
Education Program (IEP) accommodations,
state-of-the-art
shop space, expanded program
will now have up to 120 days
to receive support from its 12
sending communities. The District
must receive all approvals
before Dec. 23, 2021; doing so
will result in sending communities
saving about $24 million
in additional funds. With the
vote of the MSBA Board, tax impact
information for all 12 communities
will be available and
communities will have the opportunity
to vote on the project
this fall.
Updates regarding the project
and details about future community
forums, as they become
available, will be posted to the
building project’s website and
Facebook page.
The project is being designed
by architectural firm DRA with
PMA Consultants as owner’s
project manager and Gilbane
Building Co. serving as construction
manager at risk.
A rendering of the proposed Northeast Metro Tech building
sachusetts School Building Authority
(MSBA) has awarded the
district a grant of up to $140.8
million grant for a new building.
Northeast Metro is operating
out of a more than 50-year-old
building that requires educational,
capital and maintenance
improvements. The new school
will address the current facility’s
outdated building systems, including
much-needed ADA accessibility
and code compliance
upgrades, in addition to overcrowding.
The new facility will
allow Northeast Metro Tech to
grow enrollment from 1,270 students
to 1,600, a 26 percent inPOLICE

mitment to increase transparency
and enhance public safety.”
In embracing the use of BWCs,
all of the sworn members of the
Malden Police Department will
be able to record, document
and save the multitude of citizen
contacts and interactions in
which they engage each and every
day. This acquired data will
serve many purposes, such as
providing a source of evidence or
a means of determining training
needs – and perhaps most importantly,
a means by which the
actions of officers can be viewed
and assessed in a way that is currently
lacking. It sends a strong
and clear message to the community
that its police department
is accountable and transparent
in its values and actions.
The Malden Police Department
has shown a strong track
record of community engagement
and partnerships along
with a willingness to improve
and evolve in their delivery of
essential services. They have
actively engaged in community
outreach though the Junior
eration of students new and expanded
opportunities,” Superintendent
DiBarri said. “MSBA has
been a great partner throughout
this process, guiding us
toward a state-of-the-art career
technical education center
while keeping costs in check.
Most importantly, this grant significantly
reduces the financial
impact on residents and businesses
in our 12 District communities
… This would not have
been possible without the commitment

Police Chief Kevin Molis joined
Mayor Christenson in supporting

of a body camera initiative
is an extension and evolution of
the Malden Police Department’s
already proud history of public

Every day Malden Police

skills and resources,” said
Molis. “The use of body cameras
will document the great and oftentimes
heroic work that our officers
perform on a regular basis
in a way that is lasting and transparent.
I can also say with great
confidence that it will reveal how
fortunate the people of Malden
are to be served by our officers in
a city that truly cares not only in
words but in its actions.”

Poor Sportsmanship, Pandemic contributing
to shortage of High School Sports Officials
Behavior of parents cited as among the worst of all
adult spectators at High School games
By Dr. Karissa Niehoff
Executive Director
National Federation of State
High School Associations
(NFHS)
A
s high schools begin a third
school year of sports and
other activities impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic, a familiar
issue continues to challenge administrators
nationwide: finding
enough individuals to officiate
all scheduled contests.
In some states, Friday Night
Lights have become Thursday or
Saturday Night Lights as teams
consider playing on alternate
dates to accommodate the lack
of individuals to officiate games.
The shortage of officials in
high school – and middle school
– sports has been a growing
concern for several years – in
large part due to unsportsmanlike
behavior by parents and
other adult fans. Now, additional
sports officials are electing
to stay on the sidelines because
of health concerns related
to COVID-19, or they are uncomfortable
wearing a mask
during games.
The challenge for schools and
state associations remains twofold:
how to recruit more individuals
to become officials and
how to retain those people currently
serving as officials. Short
of unexpected events like the
coronavirus, if a new official remains
active after the first three
to five years, the outlook for a
long-term career is pretty good.
Hoping to make an impact
nationally on the officiating
shortage and the sportsmanship
issues at hand is Dana Pappas,
who joined the NFHS staff
last month as the new Director
of Officiating Services. Pappas
joins the NFHS staff after 24
years with the New Mexico Activities
Association, including
the past 17 years as commissioner
of officials.
Although there was a hope
that the post-pandemic behavior
of parents and other fans
would be improved, Pappas said
the jury is definitely still out as
sportsmanship issues have continued
to exist.
“From some of the early reports,
there are still many acts
of bad sportsmanship occurring,”
Pappas said. “There are
still people who are going after
sports officials after games,
during games, and it continues
to be an adult problem.I don’t
think too many of the issues we
see are really the kids. It’s generally
the spectators, although
it can be coaches at times when
their behavior incites the crowd.
“I think the sportsmanship issue
is something that continues
to keep individuals from officiating,
or we lose them because of
poor sportsmanship.”
Pappas noted that in addition
to losing officials due to
the COVID-19 concerns and
poor sportsmanship, others
may have changed jobs during
the pandemic, and with some
games being moved earlier in
the day, they are unable to get
free from their jobs to handle officiating
assignments.
While the loss of officials because
of the pandemic is understandable
and uncontrollable,
losing individuals from the officiating
ranks due to the boorish
and over-the-top nasty behavPoor
behavior by players' parents have plagued high school sports for many years and is now being
blamed for contributing to a nationwide shortage of game officials in nearly every sport. (Courtesy Photo)
ior of parents and other adults
is unacceptable.
Pappas said many states back
the statement: “If you act in an
inappropriate manner, you will
have to pay.” While these programs
are necessary, she also
believes proactive plans should
be in place as well.
“Doing preseason meetings
with coaches and parents are
important, but I think having
officials go and address parents
and talk to them about
rules changes is important.
It would be great for officials
to go and talk to parents and
kids so that they understand
that they are not just the bad
guys in the striped shirts, that
they are someone who wants
to be a part of the educational
process, who’s giving back
and there really to help and
educate.
“There needs to be shift in
those expectations and remind
parents of what it was like when
their kids didn’t have an opportunity
to play. Everyone agrees
that was not good for anyone
last year. And if you continue to
abuse officials, we are going to
be exactly where we were because
there won’t be any way to
adjudicate these games.”
The NFHS has been actively
recruiting officials for four years
through its #BecomeAnOfficial
campaign. More than 50,000 individuals
have expressed an interest
in officiating through this
national effort at www.highschoolofficials.com
Most
recently, the NFHS has
been targeting high school
coaches to consider officiating
another sport in their off-season
after previous campaigns directed
to other groups. Assisting
state associations and schools in
recruiting more officials is also
on Pappas’ To-Do list.
“Kids coming out of high
school think they have two options
– to play sports or to coach
sports. They forget about the
people who are officiating their
games! So, how do we make officiating
something that is at the
forefront of their minds? When
they are leaving high school or
leaving college, they need to
understand that there is an entire
career path they could follow
in the world of high school
officiating.”
As fall high school sports
swing into full action this month,
let’s respect the men and women
who are giving of their free
time so that once-in-a-lifetime
opportunities of high school activities
can continue for our nation’s
youth.

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
R
etirees have to decide
when to collect their social
security benefits. Widows
or widowers can collect his or
her benefits under their deceased
spouse’s work history
at age 60. Otherwise, you can
collect benefits at age 62, at full
retirement age which is age 66
if you were born in 1943-1954,
age 66 and a certain number
of months (based upon your
year of birth between 1955 and
1959) or age 67 for those born
in 1960, or at age 70.
In 1983, Congress reduced
Social Security Benefits by
raising the retirement age
and gradually increasing the
monthly benefit available to
you if you wait until age 70 to
begin collecting. For individuals
born after 1960, the Social
Security Administration increases
monthly benefits approximately
by 7% per year
between the ages of 62 and
70 if you wait to collect at age
70. Therefore, by waiting until
age 70 to collect, your actual
monthly benefit will have been
increased by approximately
76%. Furthermore, those
highter monthly benefits are
also indexed to inflation.
As an example, if someone
were able to collect $1,125
per month at age 62, waiting
until age 70 would result in a
monthly benefit of $1,980, for a
$855/month increase. One option
is to withdraw from an existing
retirement account such
as a Roth IRA, Traditional IRA,
403 (b) or 401(k) plan for the
years from age 62 to age 70.
Then, you can begin collecting
your social security at age 70.
If you were to die with a surviving
spouse, your surviving
spouse would be able to
collect your monthly benefit
with cost of living increases
each year based upon the
higher age 70 benefit. Your
spouse would have to be married
to you for at least 10 years.
This would also help your minor
children who would be
able to collect based upon the
higher age 70 monthly benefit
that you were receiving prior
to your death.
Another option is to continue
working part time until age
70 in order to generate enough
cash flow to meet your monthly
living expenses. Of course, if
these options are not feasible,
you can certainly begin collecting
at full retirement age,
or even age 62 if your situation
warrants it. If you have not
done so already, go onto the
Social Security Administration
website at www.ssa.gov and
establish a user id and password.
You will have the ability
to double check that all of your
earnings have been posted to
your account and you will be
able to see what your monthly
benefit would be based upon
the year you wish to begin collecting.
Also keep in mind that
up to 85% of your social security
benefit can be taxable depending
upon your other taxable
income.

OBITUARIES
Brother John
Joseph Waitkus,
a.k.a. Brother
Aquinas
87, a religious
Brother of the Sacred
Heart, died on
Tuesday, August
17, 2021, at Landmark
Hospital in
Woonsocket, RI.
The only son with
five sisters, Brother John was born
on January 14, 1934 to John D. Waitkus
and Mary Brandano in Malden.
Brother John entered the Institute
of the Brothers of the Sacred
Heart on July 25, 1950 in Sharon
and continued his religious formation
in Pomfret, CT, in 1951. He professed
his first vows on August 24,
1953, at Mount St. Charles Academy
in Woonsocket, RI, and his final vows
on July 19, 1959, at Cor Jesu Terrace
in Harrisville, RI. Earning a Bachelor
of Arts Degree in Physical Education
from the University of East Georgia
in 1980, Brother John taught and
helped young people grow physically,
morally and spiritually in NE
schools of the Brothers for 38 years.
Brother John began his teaching
career in 1953 at Sacred Heart
School in Sharon and continued his
work in the P.E. classroom in several
Catholic schools in the NE area, including
Mount St. Charles Academy
in Woonsocket, RI; Mount St. John
School in Deep River, CT; Sacred
Heart School in Andover; Christ the
King/Mater Christi in Burlington, VT;
and Oak Hill School in Williston, VT.
After retiring from the classroom in
1991, he became a member of the
buildings and grounds staff at Bishop
Guertin High School in Nashua,
NH, and Brother John eventually
retired to the Brothers’ Retirement
Center in Harrisville, RI, for the last
25 years of his life. Brother John will
be remembered by his confreres,
friends and students as a man who
loved teaching, especially physical
education, and all sports, in general.
He was a dedicated bike rider, a beloved
coach, and an avid sports fan.
Brother John was preceded in
death by his parents and four of
his sisters: Elaine Fossa, Barbara
Hayward, Muriel Bogan and Theresa
Nye. He is survived by his sister,
Jean Hardy, of Adkinson, NH, several
nieces and nephews, and many
close friends, especially the DeFabio
family of Malden.
Brother John donated his body to
the Warren Alpert Medical School
of Brown University. Therefore, a
memorial Mass and a celebration of
Brother John’s life will be celebrated
at a later date when COVID-19
restrictions are eased.
Memorial donations can be made
to the Brothers of the Sacred Heart
Foundation, 4600 Elysian Fields Avenue,
New Orleans, LA 70122.

Deborah C.
Smallwood
April 8, 1948–
August 29, 2021
Debbie was
born in Lynn, Massachusetts,
the
first child of what
would eventually
be six children, by
Malverne and Marjorie. She spent
her childhood years growing up in
Malden, Massachusetts, in a busy
house with five brothers and sisters,
sharing a room with two of
her sisters. They were a close family
and lived a simple and humble
life. She had very little private
space, if any, that she could call
hers. Instead, she learned how to
involve and share herself with everyone
in her life, always with God
in her heart at her core. She always
had a simple, loving, giving and
sincere Christian lifestyle. She attended
public school in Malden
and graduated from Malden High
School. She also attended and was
an active member at First Baptist
Church in Malden. As a teenager,
she got a job at Jordan Marsh in
Boston, where she met her best
friend (and lifelong friend) Lorraine
Bates.
After graduating from high
school, Debbie married Fred
Bonanno and then had three children:
Fred, Jim and Amie. Later, God
called her to work as a foster parent,
where she met and adopted
her fourth child, Jason Smallwood.
Working as a foster parent, she often
commented that she learned
more from the kids and she could
teach the kids.
She continued an active membership
and fellowship with God
at First Baptist Church in Melrose,
Mass., where she later moved.
Along with church, she also attended
many Bible studies in different
places and homes, eventually
hosting her own at her home.
She became a “moral compass” for
many, people both of faith and secular,
strong in her knowledge and
convictions.
Although obedient to God, she
was anything but dull. She was fun,
and she knew how to have fun and
show other people how to have

How to Handle Your
Medicare Coverage
if You Move
Dear Savvy Senior,
My husband and I are moving to a diff erent area of the country
to be near our daughter. Will this aff ect our Medicare benefi ts?
Will we need to adjust our coverage or re-enroll in a new plan?
Moving Away
Dear Moving,
Moving can indeed aff ect your Medicare benefi ts depending
on the type of coverage you have and where you move to.
If you and your husband are enrolled in “original Medicare”
Part A and Part B, you’ll be happy to know that you won’t need
to change your plans when you move because they’re the
same throughout the U.S. You will, however, need to notify
the Social Security Administration of your change of address,
which you can do at SSA.gov/myaccount/change-of-address.
html or by calling 800-772-1213.
But, if you’re enrolled in a Medicare (Part D) prescription drug
plan, or a Medicare (Part C) Advantage plan and you move out
of your plan’s service area, you’ll need to choose a new plan
that serves your new area. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll
need to do depending on the type of coverage you have.
If you have a Part D plan: If you’re in rolled in original
Medicare and have a stand-alone Medicare Part D prescription
drug plan, you’ll need to contact your Part D plan to fi nd out
if it will work in the area you’re moving to. If it doesn’t, you’ll
need to enroll in a new plan that provides coverage in your
new location.
You can make this switch the month before you move and
up to two months after the move.
Otherwise, you’ll need to wait until the next open enrollment
(in the fall) and could be penalized for having no acceptable
prescription drug coverage.
If you have a Medicare Advantage plan: If you’re enrolled
in a Medicare Advantage plan, again, contact your plan to
fi nd out if it will serve your new area. If it doesn’t, you’ll need
to enroll in a new plan that does. To shop for new Advantage
and/or Part D prescription drug plans in your new location,
see Medicare.gov/plan-compare.
You can switch Advantage plans the month before you move
and up to two months after you move.
But be aware that if you relocate out of your Medicare
Advantage plan’s service area and fail to enroll in a new plan
in your new area, you’ll automatically be switched to original
Medicare. This will happen when your old Medicare Advantage
plan is forced to disenroll you because you don’t live within its
service area anymore.
If you have a Medigap policy: If you’re enrolled in original
Medicare and have a supplemental (Medigap) policy, you’ll
need to notify your provider that you’re moving, but you
should not need to change insurance companies or plans.
(Note: there also are Medicare Select plans, which are Medigap
plans that are network-based and are available in a few states.
These plans may require you to change.)
Medigap plans are standardized across the country; for
example, Medigap Plan F off ers the same coverage in one
state as it does in another state (Massachusetts, Minnesota,
and Wisconsin have waivers from the federal government
allowing them to standardize Medigap plans diff erently, so
plan designs are diff erent in those three states).
But be aware that Medigap costs vary by location, so your
monthly Medigap policy premium may be higher or lower
depending on the cost of medical care in your new area.
Call your provider and tell them the new ZIP code, and
they’ll let you know the cost. Sometimes you’ll be pleasantly
surprised that it’s lower.
If it’s not, you could look for a cheaper policy. However, you
may have to undergo medical underwriting. Medigap policies
come with their own rules for enrolling, and some states have
diff erent enrollment standards than others.

OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to
