THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 5, 2019

City mourns loss of Robert “Bob” Cataldo

Founder of Cataldo Ambulance Service

obert Cataldo passed away on March 31, 2019, following a courageous battle with leukemia. Robert “Bob” was born and raised in Everett, Mass., the only son of Sabino and Mary Lou Cataldo. He was one of three children and grew up in a very modest area of Everett along with his sisters, Francine and Donna.

Robert was never afraid to share stories of his challenging youth days and remembered fondly “growing up on the line,” a reference to the neighborhood’s close proximity to nearby Chelsea; it was a place where being tough was a necessity. By all accounts, Bob rose to the challenges of the neighborhood and learned many hard life lessons along the way.

Although he was quite streetsmart, he was not particularly interested in academics. He chose to enroll in the local vocational high school, and there he found his strong mechanical abilities.

In 1958, Bob met Diana Della Piana of Malden; ironically, the two chose to drag race each other down Revere Beach Parkway.

As fate would have it, Diana won the race but Bob won Diana’s

R

Robert “Bob” D. Cataldo heart. Bob always joked that Diana had a big V8 and he had a total “crap box.”

Bob joined the United States Air Force in 1959, and the couple eventually married in 1963.

Shortly thereafter, Bob and Diana moved to Murphysboro, Tenn.

The couple remained there until Bob was honorably discharged in 1965. Bobs maintained the passion for the U.S. Armed Services and garnered the deepest respect for those who served in defense of the Country. In 1968 the couple gave birth to their only son, Dennis, whom they named after Diana’s brother, Dennis, who had passed away in 1966 at the age of 22.

In 1977, Bob started a new chapter in his life, and he did

so with his lifelong partner Diana. The two opened the doors of Somerville Ambulance Service in August of that year. The company proved very challenging but was well run under their close stewardship and desire to succeed. For them, providing quality patient care and exceptional service was always the key measure of success. The company continued to grow, and eventually the name was changed to Cataldo Ambulance Service. Today, 42 years later, Cataldo Ambulance is well known and recognized as an industry leader in providing all levels of medical transportation.

Bob had an engaging personality. He loved life and wanted all around him to be part of it.

He truly enjoyed spending time with people, and he cherished the opportunity to assist others.

He was a longtime member and Past President of Kiwanis Club International. He was engaged in many community initiatives, and he served on the Board for a number of local institutions. Later in life, he was able to rekindle his passion for the military and he became a proud member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company. Bob enjoyed being out on the water; he was a proud boat owner and member of the Winter Hill Yacht Club in Somer-

ville. Bob was an avid golfer and longtime member of Bellevue Country Club in Melrose.

Bob enjoyed spending time with his entire family. He and Diana, who was always by his side, were frequently around to visit and enjoy the family. He was a remarkable man, always available to lend a hand or assist the family in any way he could. He and Dennis had a great relationship, and Bob was very proud of his son, something he never missed an opportunity to express to anyone who would listen. Bob was always at the ready to do any activity with Christine, Dennis and the boys. He was the very proud Papa to Brady, Ryan and Tyler; he loved his grandsons so very much. He enjoyed spending time with the three boys and relished the opportunity to tell them stories or talk with them about any facet of life. He was a father figure to his niece, Niki, and her husband, Frank, along with their two boys, Grayson and Cooper.

More than all else, Bob was a devoted and caring husband. He and Diana spent 60 years together, married for 56 years of them.

They spent time in Florida and traveled frequently to a number of their favorite places. As husband and wife they wrote a storybook tale – as business partners they lived the American dream.

As a husband, parent, grandparent, relative and friend, Bob will long be remembered as a true friend and one really great guy.

Bob was the beloved husband of Diana M. (Della Piana) Cataldo.

He was the loving father of Dennis Cataldo and his wife, Christine, of Lynnfield. Bob was the cherished grandfather of Brady, Ryan and Tyler Cataldo. He was the dear uncle of Niki Salamone and her husband, Frank, and their children, Grayson and Cooper. Bob was the brother of Francine Cataldo of Revere and Donna Shields of Malden. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

The funeral will be held from the A. J. Spadafora Funeral Home (865 Main St. in Malden) on Friday, April 5 at 9:00 a.m. followed by a Mass of Christian Burial in St. Joseph’s Church (770 Salem St. in Malden) at 10:00 a.m. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend. Visiting hours will be held at the funeral home on Thursday from 3-8 p.m. Interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett.

In lieu of flowers contributions in Bob’s memory may be made to the Massachusetts General Cancer Center – giving.massgeneral.org.

State Senators Jason Lewis and Sal DiDomenico and State Representatives Paul Brodeur, Michael Day, Paul Donato, Joseph McGonagle, RoseLee Vincent and Donald Wong participated in the event along with staff from the offices of State Senator Bruce Tarr and State Representatives Bradley Jones and Stephen Ultrino. Medford Mayor Stephanie Burke, Melrose Mayor Gail Infurna, Chelsea City Manager Thomas Ambrosino and North Reading Town Administrator Michael Gilleberto also attended. Joining the program this year were two special guest speakers: Lionette Jasmin, a resident of Everett and home health aide with Associated Home Care; and MVES client Carole Nolan, from Malden.

Jasmin, who has been a home health aide for 30 years,

long hours and lack of training. She cares deeply for the well-being of her clients but needs to work two jobs and long hours seven days a week to try to make ends meet. The financial burden Jasmin faces creates a lot of stress.

Jasmin has noticed that the burden of care for home health aides has demonstrably increased over the years. “Reliance on home health aides is growing, and there seems to be little progress on improving wages, training or career prospects,� she said.

Nolan, the second guest speaker, shared her inspirational story. Nolan has lived in the same apartment for 27 years and is grateful to still live independently in the community she loves. Some years ago, she suffered from an acute attack of depression, which resulted in her being in bed for three weeks. Concerned about her onset of depression, Nolan approached the MVES Residential Services Coordinator (RSC) at her building. Realizing Nolan’s difficulty, the RSC referred her to Amy Foreman, a

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 5, 2019 clinical caseworker in the Clinical Programs Department at MVES. Foreman, with Nolan’s permission, enrolled her into the Mobile Mental Health program, a program in which clinical caseworkers provide outreach to older adults experiencing mental health conditions that impact their functioning and ability to meet life’s daily challenges. Since Nolan has been enrolled in the program, her bouts of depression have declined.

Nolan really likes that her counselor comes to her home once a week as part of the program. “It is much better now that my counselor comes to

me. I rely on a cane now and cannot walk long distances so it works out great. I don’t have to travel as much and feel more relaxed in the setting of my own home,� she stated.

Concluding the program, O’Leary thanked those in attendance: “Each year, when we host this breakfast, I’m reminded of how fortunate we are to have representatives on Beacon Hill who truly understand the importance of home care services and behavioral and mental health issues and support our programs throughout the year.�

Sen. Lewis, Legislature fund family planning services he Massachusetts House of Representatives and the State Senate recently voted to allocate $8 million in funding for family planning clinics in the Commonwealth to offset potential cuts to the federal Title X program proposed by the Trump administration. Title X is a federal grant program which prioritizes the needs of low-income families or uninsured people (including those who are not eligible for Medicaid) who might not otherwise have access to family planning and preventative health services.

Under a recent proposal, the federal government is planning to withhold Title X funding for any Massachusetts family planning clinic which counsels individuals on abortion as an option or provides abortion as one of its services. Family planning clinics offer a variety of services, including contraceptives, screenings for cancer and sexually transmitted illnesses, and specialized family planning care.

The funding bill passed in the Massachusetts House of Representatives on Wednesday in a bipartisan 139-14 vote, and the State Senate gave its approbation on Thursday. “I applaud my colleagues in both the House and the Senate for providing state dollars to fill

the gap that will be left by the Trump administration’s misguided attempt to defund family planning services,� said State Senator Jason Lewis. “Massachusetts residents have a fundamental right to access all family planning services as part of their reproductive health care, and the legislature re-

mains committed to ensuring access to those services.�

On March 29, Governor Charlie Baker signed the bill to provide $8 million for family planning clinics, allowing the state to offset possible reductions and help preserve services provided to 80,000 Massachusetts families.

BREATHTAKING VIEW: Waittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount offers a stunning view of the Boston skyline, Malden and beyond.

By Barbara Taormina ith its spectacular views of Boston, its dramatic rocks and its lush greenery, Waittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount has always been one of Maldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most striking natural resources.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only been a few years since the city began giving the history-rich public park the care and attention it deserves. This Saturday, April 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., volunteers will make it to Maldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest point for the fourth annual spring cleanup of Waittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount.

preservation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The DPW will be providing trash bags and a limited number of tools,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feel free to bring your own gloves and tools if you have them.â&#x20AC;?

Known for providing the early residents of Malden a safe perch to watch the Battle of Bunker Hill, Waittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount got by on its rugged and natural beauty for generations. But in 1937, crews from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) arrived, and they were not impressed with Maldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mount. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 1934, Waittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount in Malden looked like a quarry-workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nightmare,â&#x20AC;? wrote an observer in a short description for a WPA bulletin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a huge, bald granite ledge whose slope was covered with twisted, stunted trees and tangled underbrush; probably the most useless piece of land in this section of the state.â&#x20AC;?

So the WPA moved in and built rustic bridges, stone walkways, fireplaces, picnic benches, birdbaths and a roadway that wrapped around the granite ledge from the base to the summit. And it was all very nice, until it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. During World War II, Waittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount was converted into an antiaircraft coastal defense site com-

plete with a battalion of gunners. But when the war ended, the mount seemed past its WPA glory days.

Malden residents who grew up during the 1970s remember Waittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount as a destination for kids committed to drinking and raising hell. One Malden women who knew the place well described it as dangerous.

And it remained a neglected no-manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-land for years.

But in 2005, the Malden Redevelopment Authority stepped in with a plan to reclaim and revitalize Waittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount. It took some time and $1.2 million, but by 2014 the dead trees, poison ivy, the graffiti and the carpet of broken glass were gone. A loop walkway, new play and recreation areas, seats at the summit and signs that told the story of the site were all part of the mountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new look.

And this time around, Malden seems determined to maintain Waittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount with volunteer cleanups and family-friendly events, such as stargazing and rock climbing.

Anyone interested in joining this Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cleanup can meet up with other volunteers at 79 Leonard St. Parking is available on Leonard and Tremont Streets.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;April Artistâ&#x20AC;? at the Malden Public Library ob Greene is our Rotating Art, April Artist. Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meditationâ&#x20AC;? is a collection of photographs that offers the opportunity to look at length at a moment in time or, alternatively, to look more fully at what stands still, where we typically breeze by.

This set of images evokes meditation by encouraging mindful observation and seeing interest and beauty in details that can easily be overlooked in the day-to-day rush. Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art will be on exhibit at the Library through the month of April.

~ Letter to the Editor ~

Community Preservation Act funding To the Editor: alden made a smart choice investing in our community’s future by adopting the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in 2015. It allows cities to collect a surcharge on property tax bills – just 1%, in our case – to fund affordable housing, historic preservation, open space and recreation. Because of the CPA, Maldonians may soon see improvements to Fellsmere Pond, the Malden River, Trafton Park, the Oak Grove Community Center, community gardens and more.

For more information, contact Iodiah Henry at (617) 605-2528.

T

But our ability to fund future projects may be at risk.

Local dollars are matched by a CPA Trust Fund, which is funded through recording fees at the Registries of Deeds.

That match has dwindled from 100% to just 11%. If we don’t do something to shore up this funding, Malden won’t be able to leverage our local dollars to help our parks and people.

Luckily, Sen. Creem and Rep. Ferrante have introduced S.1618 and H.2463, An Act to Preserve Community Preservation Revenue, which would increase the match to over 40%

in 2020 through a one-time increase in the Registries of Deeds recording fees, which haven’t been raised in almost 20 years. The bill has over 130 co-sponsors, including our own Representatives Paul Donato and Stephen Ultrino and our State Senator Jason Lewis.

The CPA is too important to Malden’s future. Please join me in letting our legislators know that you support their efforts to fix the match!

sell tobacco products. Because kids are still using the mint and menthol flavors, there is a proposal to also limit the sale of those products to the vape shops.

Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe suggested that higher taxes should be part of the strategy to discourage vaping among teens. Governor Charlie Baker has proposed expanding the current tax on cigarettes, which is $3.51 a pack, to e-cigarettes. But the proposed tax has been criticized by some who fear the higher prices will drive people who vape back to smoking traditional cigarettes, which are still considered a greater health threat.

And this week, Juul announced it has hired some high-powered help to fight off such anti-vaping initiatives. Former state Attorney General Martha Coakley has taken a job with Juul and will work to switch cigarette smokers to vaping. Coakley will also lead efforts to prevent underage vaping.

Councillors offered to do whatever they could to support measures to regulate ecigarettes and prevent teens from vaping.

“I’m afraid for these kids,” said Council President Jadeane Sica. “We don’t have the research to see the effects of these products 10 or 15 years from now.”

City shows its support for residents with autism

By Barbara Taormina t the end of this week’s City Council meeting, Council President Jadeane Sica stopped to speak directly to the audience at the Senior Center, and residents watching the meeting from home.

“I just want to take a moment to let you know why we are all wearing blue this evening,” said Sica. “Today is April 2, and it is World Autism Awareness Day, a day to increase the understanding and awareness of a condition that affects many in our community.”

The councillor’s gesture of support for individuals, children and families coping with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a developmental disability that can cause social, communication and behavioral challenges, reflects how far communities like Malden have come in their response to the disorder. Schools, faith communities, civic organizations, and social and municipal services all have a role in supporting the rapidly growing number of children and adults with autism.

To mark Autism Awareness Day, the Malden Police have launched a new program called SafeWatch which will help officers identify individuals who are at risk of wandering away from home and becoming disorientated and lost. The program was designed to ensure the safety of seniors, people suffering from dementia and children and young adults with autism.

SafeWatch provides police and emergency personnel with information needed to answer a call and quickly find

A

a missing person. Police will identify vulnerable individuals, their families and caretakers so that they can respond to an emergency in a knowledgeable manner than ensures the safety of the registered individual and others who might become involved. The program is free, voluntary and confidential.

Anyone interested in learning more about SafeWatch or registering for the program should call Sergeant John Kelley at 781-397-7171 ext. 1226 or email him at jkelley@maldenpd.com. Residents can also contact Detective Steve Mulcahy at 781-397-7171 ext. 1406, or at smulcahy@maldenpd.com.

Applications for SafeWatch will be available at the front desk of the Malden Police Station and will soon be available on the department’s website.

Malden Police have been expanding their community outreach efforts, and they look forward to launching SafeWatch to increase the safety and security of children and young adults with autism.

And according to statistics, SafeWatch is a program that will meet a growing need. A recent report from UMass Medical School estimates that in 2005 approximately 10,000 children throughout the state, or one in 250, had autism. In 2010, those numbers jumped to 13,065 cases, or one in 110 children. And by 2015, 20,383 children, or one in 68, were believed to have ADS. A more recent study published in the journal Pediatrics at the beginning of this year suggested that the prevalence of autism may be as high as one in 40 children.

Sky’s the limit for Tornadoes track star Shataeya Smith

By Steve Freker alden High School’s Shataeya Smith has accomplished a great deal with the Golden Tornado track teams and it appears that her future is quite bright as well.

At the end of the recently concluded high school indoor track season, Smith qualified for the MIAA Division 1 State Indoor Track Championships and earned herself a fourthplace finish in the girls shotput competition with a personal best throw of 34 feet, 2

M

inches. With her high finish in Division 1 States, she qualified for the All-State Meet.

At the All-State Meet, Smith continued to excel, finishing 12th overall with a toss of 34 feet.

Smith is also an accomplished student who has been receiving lot of attention from college recruiters including University of Tennessee, Belmont University, UMass-Lowell and Merrimack. She will also be competing this spring in the outdoor track season.

“Shateaya (Smith) has had a

tremendous career so far at Malden High and we are loking forward to her performance this spring in the next track season,” said Malden Public Schools Director of Athletics, Physical Education and Health Charlie Conefrey.

“She is headed to a Division 1 college with the benefit of a scholarship and we could not be prouder. “Shataeya (Smith) has been a great leader and contributor to our team and she represents us so well,” MHS track Coach Londino said.

Suffolk Downs to conduct final season of live racing ecently Suffolk Downs announced that it will run six live dates in 2019 – after the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) approved the track’s schedule and its corresponding request for purse funding of $3.8 million for those dates from the state’s Racehorse Development Fund. The three festival weekends are scheduled for May 18-19, June 8-9 and June 29-30 and will be the last days of thoroughbred racing held at the historic East Boston facility. In 2017, Sterling Suffolk Racecourse (SSR), the company that operates racing and simulcasting at Suffolk Downs, sold the property in East Boston and Revere to The HYM Investment Group, a Boston-based real estate developer.

In conjunction with the New England Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (NEHBPA) and the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeders Association (MTBA), SSR announced plans last year to refurbish and return live racing to the Great Barrington Fairgrounds in Great Barrington, Mass., and to continue simulcasting operations in Boston.

The track operator has renewed its option on the 55-acre Great Barrington property and is pursuing legislation in the current session in Massachusetts that would facilitate its proposal.

At S u f fo l k D ow n s, t h e $100,000 James B. Moseley Stakes at five furlongs on the turf for fillies and mares will highlight the racing program of June 29. The average daily

purse distribution for each festival weekend, including participation incentives to encourage horsemen to ship in from other circuits, will be in excess of $600,000 per day.

“We are looking forward to celebrating the rich tradition of Suffolk Downs with racing fans for one final season here as we pursue the plan to preserve thoroughbred racing and its associated agribusiness and economic benefits in the Commonwealth by restoring the racing facility at Great Barrington,” said SSR Chief Operating Officer Chip Tuttle. “We appreciate the support of the Massachusetts

“This is a reiteration that we will follow the federal law any time a conflict comes before us,” former Councillor-at-large David D’Arcangelo told fellow councillors three years ago.

Former City Councillor

Neil Kinnon sponsored the amendment, which he said was meant to locally codify the supremacy clause which makes federal law the ultimate law over state and local law. “Each one of us swears to uphold the Constitution – that trumps any state law,” said Kinnon, who at the time stressed the amendment was about law, not marijuana.

to opening the door to marijuana shops was lukewarm at best, much has changed over the past three years.

This week, a notice was posted on the city’s website announcing that the Cannabis Licensing and Enforcement Commission is now accepting applications from individuals and businesses that hope to open and operate a cannabis establishment, including retail stores, testing labs, growing operations, marijuana product manufac-

turers and marijuana research facilities. A maximum of five retail licenses will be issued.

As for legal conflicts, under federal law marijuana is still classified as a schedule 1 drug, which is defined as having no medical use and a high tendency for abuse.

However, U.S. Attorney General William Barr has said the Department of Justice will take a hands-off approach to marijuana businesses operating in states where cannabis is legal.

Still, just as Malden is now revising it ordinances to avoid confusion and conflicts, there have been several legislative attempts to revise the supremacy clause when it comes to marijuana. The latest, the Respect States’ and Citizens’ Rights Act, was filed this week by U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colorado).

If passed, DeGette’s bill will amend the federal drug laws and exempt states where marijuana is legal from federal intervention and prosecution.

Suffolk Downs to conduct final season of live racing

ecently Suffolk Downs announced that it will run six live dates in 2019 – after the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) approved the track’s schedule and its corresponding request for purse funding of $3.8 million for those dates from the state’s Racehorse Development Fund.

The three festival weekends are scheduled for May 18-19, June 8-9 and June 29-30 and will be the last days of thoroughbred racing held at the historic East Boston facility.

R

In 2017, Sterling Suffolk Racecourse (SSR), the company that operates racing and simulcasting at Suffolk Downs, sold the property in East Boston and Revere to The HYM Investment Group, a Boston-based real estate developer.

In conjunction with the New England Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (NEHBPA) and the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeders Association (MTBA), SSR announced plans last year to refurbish and return live rac-

ing to the Great Barrington Fairgrounds in Great Barrington, Mass., and to continue simulcasting operations in Boston. The track operator has renewed its option on the 55acre Great Barrington property and is pursuing legislation in the current session in Massachusetts that would facilitate its proposal.

At Suffolk Downs, the $100,000 James B. Moseley Stakes at five furlongs on the turf for fillies and mares will highlight the racing program

of June 29. The average daily purse distribution for each festival weekend, including participation incentives to encourage horsemen to ship in from other circuits, will be in excess of $600,000 per day.

“We are looking forward to celebrating the rich tradition of Suffolk Downs with racing fans for one final season here as we pursue the plan to preserve thoroughbred racing and its associated agribusiness and economic benefits in the Commonwealth by restoring the racing facility at Great Barrington,” said SSR Chief Operating Officer Chip Tuttle. “We appreciate the support of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission in granting our dates and purse funding requests.”

“We appreciate Sterling Suffolk’s addition of and the MGC’s approval of extra days and purse funding for this season and Sterling Suffolk’s dedication to preserving live thoroughbred racing in the Commonwealth and the livelihoods of our members, the small businesses and family farms that depend on it,” said NEHBPA President Anthony Spadea.

In order to help offset shipping and travel costs for the

festival weekends, Suffolk Downs will offer an incentive program similar to those in the last several years. In addition to customary purse distribution, owners will receive an additional $500 for horses finishing first through fifth (on top of purse money) while owners of horses finishing sixth through last will receive a payment of $1,200 for races with a purse up to $30,000 and $1,500 for races with a purse greater than $30,000. Trainers will receive participation awards of $400 per starter.

For 2019, first-level allowance/optional claiming races will offer purses of $55,000; maiden special weight races will offer purses of $50,000; $12,500 claiming races will carry a purse of $32,500; $8,000 claiming races will be run for $27,500; and bottom level claiming races will now carry a purse of $20,000. Over the course of each weekend, there will be stakes races restricted to either horses foaled in Massachusetts or sired by a Massachusetts-based stallion. Each offers a purse of $50,000 and is a showcase for the Massachusetts Thoroughbred breeding industry.

In addition to live racing, the

State begins work on Tobin Bridge, Chelsea Curves he Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT ) recently began work on the Tobin Bridge/ Chelsea Curves Rehabilitation Project, which will have significant traffic impacts, including 24/7 lane closures.

The first lane closure was implemented on April 1 and closed the right lane on the Tobin Bridge northbound.

Drivers are reminded to position themselves to use the middle and left lanes as soon as they can safely do so. Traffic modeling conducted for this project has shown that allowing drivers in the right lane to merge will create a smoother overall traffic flow.

MassDOT requests that all motorists exercise courtesy and caution when traversing the work zone. By early May, lane closures will be implemented on the Chelsea Curves section of Route 1 north and southbound.

Combined, the Tobin Bridge and Chelsea Curves carry more than 63,000 drivers on Route 1 through Chelsea and over the Mystic River into Boston.

Though they are safe to drive

T

on, both are in critical need of repair. MassDOT is carrying out work along both sections of Route 1 at the same time so that these projects will be completed in 2020, and without the need for weight restrictions and postings.

Completion of this necessary project will ensure that the elevated section of Route 1 can continue to carry passenger and freight traffic safely and efficiently and eliminate 15 percent of the structurally deficient bridge deck in Massachusetts, but construction of this nature has inevitable traffic impacts. MassDOT encourages you to leave more time for your trip, exercise caution while traversing the work zone, and if possible, divert to an alternate route or mode of travel in and out of downtown Boston.

To be added to the project email list for updates, please visit the project website at https://www.mass.gov/tobinbridgechelsea-curves-rehabilitation-project or contact Donny Dailey of MassDOT Government & Public Affairs at TobinChelsea@dot.state.ma.us.

North Shore Philharmonic features Shostakovich, Haydn in Spring Concert

he North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra (NSPO) will complete its 71st consecutive season when Music Director Robert Lehmann conducts works by Haydn, Gounod, Bolcom and Shostakovich in a spring concert on Sunday, April 14 at 3 p.m. at Swampscott High School.

Tickets will be on sale at the door for $30, $25 for seniors and students, and children 12 and under are admitted free.

Advance tickets are available online at nspo.org.

Music Director Lehmann programmed a satirical theme to the spring concert. The featured piece, Shostakovich’s

T

Symphony No. 9, is regarded as the lightest and most amusing piece amid the Russian composer’s somber symphonies that depicted his complicated relationship with the Russian government during World War II. Though it earned critical praise after its first performance in 1945, a year later the Ninth was censured for its “ideological weakness” and “its failure to reflect the true spirit of the people of the Soviet Union.”

However, history has treated the Ninth symphony with more respect, comparing it with Mozart’s works for its themes and brilliance.

The concert will open with Franz Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 94, nicknamed “Surprise” because of its unexpected fortissimo (loud) chord at the end of an otherwise soft second movement.

It remains one of the most popular of the 106 sympho-

nies Haydn wrote.

Charles Gounod’s “Funeral March of a Marionette” is most likely recognized as the theme music for Alfred Hitchock’s television show that aired from 1955 to 1965. It depicts the death of a Marionette in a duel and follows his funeral procession, along with a depiction of the mourners enjoying refreshments during a break from their march.

Perhaps culminating the concert’s theme, William Bolcom’s “Commedia for (almost) 18th-century orches-

tra, which was composed in 1971, is popular for its hyper-

active and impulsive jumps throughout a range of styles and paces. It is one piece of music that has a little something for everyone, all in one.

The NSPO plays three subscription concerts at Swampscott High School. The 20182019 season marks the Orchestra’s 71st Anniversary. The Orchestra is supported in part by a grant from the Swampscott Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. For more information about the NSPO, visit the Orchestra’s website at www.nspo.org or on Facebook.

Gov. Baker signs bill to restore Title X funding BOSTON – On March 29, Governor Charlie Baker and Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito, joined by Legislative leadership and family planning providers, participated in the ceremonial bill signing of H.3638, An Act making appropriations for the fiscal year 2019 to provide for supplementing certain existing appropriations and for certain other activities and projects (Title X). The legislation ensures local providers will continue to have access to family planning resources that were previously provided by the federal government; the bill provides state funding for eligible entities so they can continue providing health-care services, including physical exams, counseling and reproductive cancer screenings. Baker and Polito were joined by Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders; Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo (D-Winthrop); Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Framingham); Dr. Jennifer Childs-Roshak, President/CEO of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts; Julia Kehoe, President/ CEO of Health Imperatives; Dr. Gabrielle Ross, Executive

Director of Health Quarters; John Drew, President/CEO of Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD); and several other members of the Legislature.

“Signing this bill into law ensures women’s health providers across Massachusetts will continue to have access to these critical funds,” said Gov. Baker. “We are proud that Massachusetts remains a national leader in women’s healthcare, and we thank our colleagues in the Legislature for their swift response to changes in federal policy.”

“We are pleased to work with our legislative colleagues on this bill and send an unequivocal message to women in Massachusetts that these services are important and will remain protected,” said Lt. Gov. Polito.

“The House of Representatives has never stopped working to keep in place protections for women’s health, and I’m proud the House moved swiftly on this issue,” said Speaker DeLeo. “Today more than 75,000 individuals can feel safer that now family planning services across the Commonwealth are protected. Thank you to my col-

leagues in the House, especially Chair Michlewitz and Vice Chair Garlick, and to Governor Baker and Senate President Spilka for their work on this issue.”

“I applaud the Governor for acting swiftly on the Legislature’s actions to ensure resources are still available for Title X family planning and health services, despite new damaging rules out of Washington,” said Spilka. “Together, we are sending the message that all women and men across the Commonwealth will continue to have access to vital health services, even if the federal government choses to leave them behind. Today we have shown the country what a proactive government, who puts its citizens first, looks like.”

“The Trump-Pence administration’s domestic gag rule will dismantle Title X, the nation’s program for affordable, preventive reproductive health care, threatening the health care of four million people across the country, and 75,000 people right here in Massachusetts,” said Dr. Childs-Roshak. “I applaud the Baker Administration and the Massachusetts

legislature for taking swift action to defend access to affordable, preventive services like birth control, cancer screenings, and STI testing and treatment. We will continue to fight this dangerous, unethical rule through every possible avenue because all people – no matter what state they live in – deserve access to affordable reproductive healthcare.”

“Health Imperatives believes the Commonwealth’s commitment to providing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services for all residents, regardless of their ability to pay, will improve birth and health outcomes,” said Kehoe. “Investing in effective family planning services also reduces the need for more costly government programs and improves family stability and economic security because young, lowincome women will be better able to achieve their educational and career goals.”

“The bold and swift decision of Gov. Baker and the State Legislature to replace federal funds with state funds reflects the will of Massachusetts voters who overwhelmingly support unfettered ac-

cess to the full range of reproductive healthcare services, including access to information about prenatal care, adoption and abortion,” said Ross. “Health Quarters, the Title X sub-recipient for the North Shore and Merrimack Valley, wholeheartedly laud Governor Baker and the Legislature’s decision to stand up for women, especially at a time a time when so few appear willing to do so in Washington, D.C.” “ABCD deeply appreciates the extraordinary support for the Title X public health program shown by Governor Charlie Baker, Senate President Karen E. Spilka, House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo, and our state legislators,” said Drew. “Serving over 29,000 clients each year in partnership with 21 health-care agencies in the Greater Boston area, we provide access to preventive reproductive health care that enables patients to make informed personal decisions. As a longstanding grantee for Title X, ABCD thanks these leaders for their unwavering commitment to improving the lives of the Commonwealth’s most vulnerable residents.”

State commission releases report outlining recommended actions to Support LGBTQ Youth across Massachusetts Report also includes new youth risk behavior survey results BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Massachusetts Commission on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning (LGBTQ) Youth recently released its annual recommendations to state lawmakers and regulators outlining actions to be taken to better support LGBTQ youth in communities across the Commonwealth. The report includes new data from the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth risk behavior survey results. The commission released its report during a ceremony at the Massachusetts State House. During the ceremony new commission members were also sworn in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This report outlines important steps that should be taken to better support LGBTQ youth across Massachusetts, said Corey Prachniak-RincĂłn, Director of the Massachusetts Commission on LGBTQ Youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The results of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey demonstrate the critical need that exists to ensure LGBTQ youth are healthy, safe, and thriving as they grow into adulthood.â&#x20AC;?

The Youth Risk Behavior Survey shows that 15.2 percent

of Massachusetts youth identified as LGBTQ. The data also show some troubling trends among LGBTQ youth, including: 22.3 percent of LGBTQ youth report having been bullied in the past year, compared to 12.8 percent of non-LGBTQ youth.

Approximately 35 percent of LGBTQ youth report having hurt themselves on purpose in past year, including having cut or burned themselves. This is compared to 11.2 percent of non-LGBTQ youth.

Approximately 31 percent of LGBTQ youth seriously considered suicide in the past year, compared to 9.9 percent of non-LGBTQ youth. Alarmingly, 16.3 percent of LGBTQ youth made a suicide attempt, compared to 4.1 percent of non-LGBTQ youth.

The report focuses on four core areas for state lawmakers and regulators to consider, including LGBTQ inclusion, ending homelessness, advancing justice, and sexual and mental health. Among the recommendations in the report, the Commission is advocating for:

All state employees and contractors to receive basic training on LGBTQ inclusion, more guidance and support for schools to work on LGBTQ inclusion, an increase in funding for the prevention and treatment of youth homelessness, improving ID access for youth experiencing homelessness and the creation of a bill of rights for people experiencing homelessness.

All school districts in the Commonwealth to offer comprehensive, evidence-based, and LGBTQ-inclusive sexual health education An increase in HIV funding; an expansion in the availability of PrEP, and significant reform to the mental healthcare system The Commission also supports the passage of legislation waiting Governor Charlie Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature that would ban the practice of â&#x20AC;&#x153;conversion therapyâ&#x20AC;? on LGBTQ youth in Massachusetts.

FIRE STATION | FROM PAGE 1 it was a nice chance to enjoy a celebration with members of the community, and “Most of the time when we see residents, it’s during emergencies.”

City Council President Jadeane Sica brought Malden’s official best wishes to the party. “Although the needs of the department and the building have changed, one thing is certain – the caliber of the men and women of this Department remains the same,” Sica told the crowd. “On behalf of the City of Malden, I want to extend my appreciation to every member of the Department for the work they do every day to ensure the safety of our city.”

that included laying a cornerstone with a time capsule inside. Although the building is still going strong, the time capsule was not as lucky.

Over the years, water seeped

in and damaged many of the items made of paper, such as a photo of then Mayor Charles Blodgett, his inaugural address, a fire department manual and a roster of firefighters serving “under the colors” in World War I. “We were excited about the time capsule so were disappointed to find that a lot of the items were ruined,” said Finn.

Still, firefighters were able to pull a few newspaper stories about the building project as well as a silver badge and a coin from 1918 from the cap-

sule.

Back in 1919, the city celebrated with readings, speeches, dancing and a band that performed patriotic pieces to honor firefighters serving in the war. On Sunday, the Malden High School Band performed some of the same numbers, including “Over There” and the “Star Spangled Banner.”

For Finn, Sunday’s celebration hit all the right notes. “I was happy that it showcased the building, but I was equally happy that it showcased all the work the men and women of the department did,” said Finn.

Over the past couple of years, firefighters assigned to the Central Station have been renovating the second floor of the building. Finn said it was a partnership with the city, which provided the materials, and the firefighters, who put in the skills and sweat.

It was especially sweet to show off the renovations to retired firefighters who worked in the station and were impressed with the makeover.

Although there are still a few more repairs that need to be done, Finn said he’s amazed every time he climbs the stairs and sees the completely remodeled top floor. “I’m so proud of the work the firefighters did,” said Finn. “And they did it between calls.”

The city spent roughly $100,000 to build it, including $16,000 that went to the family of Phineas Sprague for the land. In addition to a signal system, the design for the new station featured offices for the chief and fire commissioner, a community room and a voting booth where residents of the ward could cast their ballots.

Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the Supplemental Security Income program and what are the eligibility requirements? My father is very low-income, so I’m wondering if this is something he may qualify for.

Searching Daughter Dear Searching, Supplemental Security Income (or SSI) is a program administered by the Social Security Administration that provides monthly cash benefits to people that are disabled or over 65 based on financial need. Currently, more than 8 million people are receiving SSI benefits.

Here’s what you should know.

Eligibility Requirements To qualify for SSI your dad must be either age 65 or older, blind or disabled, and must be a U.S. citizen or lawful resident.

He must also have limited assets and income.

His assets must be less than $2,000 or $3,000 for couples.

This includes cash, bank accounts, other personal property, and anything else that could potentially be converted to cash.

His home, household goods and one vehicle, along with life insurance policies and burial funds valued under $1,500; do not count towards countable assets.

The income limit to qualify for SSI, however, is much more complicated. Countable income includes wages or any other kind of money your dad earned from working, plus money he gets from other sources like unemployment, Social Security retirement, or gifts from friends, but also, free food or shelter.

In 2019, the SSI allowable income limit is $771 a month for an individual or $1,157 a month for a couple. So, if your dad’s countable income is over the SSI allowable limit (this is based on a complex set of rules and calculations – see SSA.gov/ssi/ text-income-ussi.htm) he would not qualify. But if he’s under it, he would qualify for some benefits depending on his countable income.

To help you determine if your dad is eligible for SSI, help him

take the Social Security Administration’s benefits screening test at SSAbest.benefits.gov. This online questionnaire takes approximately 5 minutes to complete and screens for a variety of benefits, not just SSI. You should also know that most states – except Arizona, Mississippi, North Dakota and West Virginia – supplement the federal SSI payment with payments of their own. In some of the states that pay a supplement, your dad may qualify for the state payment even if he doesn’t meet the federal SSI eligibility criteria.

How to Apply If you think that your dad is eligible for SSI, call 800-772-1213 and set up an appointment to apply at his local Social Security office.

To help make the application process go quickly and smoothly, your dad should bring his Social Security number; birth certificate or other proof of age; information about the home where he lives, such as his mortgage, or lease and the landlord’s name; payroll slips, bank books, insurance policies, burial fund records and other information about his income and the things he owns; his proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen status; and if he is applying for SSI because he is disabled or blind, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of doctors, hospitals and clinics that have information related to his condition.

For more information visit SSA.gov/ssi or call Social Security at 800-772-1213 and ask them to mail you a copy of publication 11000 “Supplemental Security Income (SSI).” You can also read it online at SSA.gov/ pubs/EN-05-11000.pdf.

Other Assistance Programs Depending on your dad’s income, needs and location there are other financial assistance programs that may be able to help him like Medicaid, prescription drug assistance, food stamps and energy assistance.

To find out what he may be eligible for go to BenefitsCheckUp.org. This is a free, confidential Web tool that contains more than 2,500 programs.

Beacon Hill Roll Call

By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local legislatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; votes on roll calls from the week March 25-29. $8 MILLION FOR FAMILY PLANNING PROVIDERS (H3638) House 140-14, Senate 33-5, approved and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker a bill to provide up to $8 million for family planning providers. The Trump administration recently announced it would no longer direct federal funds which support family planning services for low-income residents, toward any clinic that provides, refers or offers counseling on abortions.

The $8 million would be used to replace whatever funding Massachusetts clinics lose under the new Trump rule which also faces a legal challenge from 21 states, including Massachusetts, but will go into effect in May if it is not blocked in court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once again, where Washington falls short, we in the commonwealth are ready and willing to step up and fill the needed gap,â&#x20AC;? said House Ways and Means Committee Chair Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cannot allow peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care to be put at

risk because of the narrow-minded politics of the Trump administration. Today, we are taking the first step to put a stop to this.â&#x20AC;?

Michlewitz noted that an estimated 75,000 Massachusetts residents, most of whom earn less than $30,000 a year, would be impacted by the cut in federal funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This action by the House is nothing but a giveaway of our tax dollars to the abortion business,â&#x20AC;? said Chanel Prunier, executive director of the Renew Massachusetts Coalition which opposes the funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CEO of Planned Parenthood of Massachusetts makes over $250,000 annually, and they spend millions each year on political advocacy and campaign efforts.

So why are our taxes making up for their funding shortfall?â&#x20AC;?

(A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? vote is for the $8 million.

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? vote is against it.)

Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes BAN CONVERSION THERAPY FOR ANYONE UNDER 18 (S 2187)

Senate 34-0, approved a bill that would prohibit psychiatrists, psychologists and other health care providers from attempting to change the sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of anyone under 18. Conversion therapy exposes the person to a stimulus while simultaneously subjecting him or her to some form of discomfort. The therapy is primarily used to try to convert gays and lesbians to be straight.

The House has approved its own version of the bill and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration.

Both branches approved a similar bill last year but it never made it to Gov. Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a conversion therapy bill gets to my desk and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any other issues with it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be inclined to support,â&#x20AC;? Baker said recently.

Mental health experts and LGBTQ groups charge that the practice is scientifically unproven and unsound and can trigger depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts in these youngsters subjected to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a responsibility to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all young people,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford), the Senate sponsor of the bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeking to force a child to change oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity or orientation at such a vulnerable point in their young lives inflicts significant harm and is no less than child abuse.â&#x20AC;?

Shortly after the vote, the Human Rights Campaign tweeted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Victory: the Massachusetts Senate just voted to protect #LGBTQ youth from the dangerous and debunked practice of so-called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;conversion therapy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

LEGAL NOTICE

LEGAL NOTICE

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This [is] an appalling assault on parental rights in the commonwealth,â&#x20AC;? said the president of the Massachusetts Family Institute Andrew Beckwith who opposes the ban. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Some] legislators apparently believe that parents should not be able to get genderconfused children any treatment, even counseling, that might help them avoid cross-sex hormone injections, sterility or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;transitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; surgery.â&#x20AC;?

Five senators voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;presentâ&#x20AC;? rather than for or against the bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be clear that we do not support conversion therapy or any other type of coercive therapy that purports to change a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexuality or gender identity,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Vinny deMacedo (R-Plymouth). â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there were evidence of these practices taking place in Massachusetts, we would wholeheartedly support banning them. However, we have serious concerns about the way this legislation infringes on the constitutional rights of licensed professionals to provide mental health counseling and talk therapy using the knowledge, judgment and expertise that they have acquired through years of study and practice. The vague wording of the legislation provides too much room for interpretation in an area that requires caution and precision from government intervention. By voting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;presentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; we hoped to register our concerns while making it clear that these types of coercive therapies have no place in the commonwealth.â&#x20AC;?

(A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? vote is for the ban).

Sen. Jason Lewis Yes CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THERAPY BAN (S 2187) Senate 6-32, rejected a proposal asking the Supreme Judicial Court to advise the Senate on whether the therapy ban is constitutional. The court would be

asked if the bill violates the provisions of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by violating the right of free speech of professional counselors; the constitutional rights of parents; or the constitutional or statutory rights of privacy or patient confidentiality.

Supporters of asking the court about the constitutionality of the therapy ban said they support the conversion therapy ban but are concerned that the ban is likely to be challenged. They believe the Senate should get an opinion before the challenge in order to ensure the bill doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get delayed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are confident that the pending bill is constitutional,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem) who opposed getting the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It relies on well-established authority of the state to regulate professional conduct.â&#x20AC;?

(A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? vote is for getting a court opinion. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? vote is against getting it).

Sen. Jason Lewis No REMOVE CAP ON WELFARE BENEFITS FOR KIDS (S 2186) Senate 37-1, approved a bill that repeals the current law that denies an additional $100 per month in welfare benefits to children conceived whileâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or soon afterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the family began receiving welfare benefits or, if they had received family welfare benefits in the past. The law was adopted in 1995 as part of a welfare reform package that was aimed at discouraging families already receiving public support from having more children. The House has approved its own version of the bill and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration.

Supporters of the repeal said that there are some 8,700 children who currently fall under the

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 5, 2019

BEACON | FROM PAGE 18 cap in the Bay State. These families are barred from receiving an additional $100 a month to help support that child. They said there are no facts to back up the charge that families are having more children in order to get the additional $100.

“I have heard countless personal accounts from many families who are hurt by this cap on kids,” said Sen. Sal DiDomenico (DEverett), the Senate sponsor of the proposal. “Because their benefits are so low, parents with ‘capped’ children struggle to meet their families’ basic needs. For instance, they often can’t pay for enough diapers to keep their child clean,

dry and healthy. And they are forced to make painful choices about which necessities they can afford. We know that it’s time to take action to repeal this outdated, ineffective and unjust policy, and show that we value all children equally, regardless of the circumstances of their birth.”

“I think it’s unfair to ask the constituents back home to pay for a benefit for others that they don’t get themselves,” said Sen. Don Humason (R-Westfield), the only opponent of the bill.

He said the Legislature should have a big heart and take care of people but noted he also needs to listen to his constituents who tell him they are having a difficult time making ends meet and

are limiting the number of children they have. He said his constituents tell him they are not eligible for any welfare benefits but are forced to pay these benefits for others who decide to have more children.

(A “Yes” vote is for removing the cap. A “No” vote is against removing it).

Sen. Jason Lewis Yes 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

Page 19

the House and Senate chambers.

They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

During the week of March 2529, the House met for a total of eight hours and 54 minutes while

the Senate met for a total of four hours and 33 minutes.
