Malden is back in business

usiness Development Officer Kevin Duffy brought plenty of confidence and optimism to Mayor Gary Christenson’s COVID-19 community update Wednesday night.

“I know it’s been a very long haul; the businesses have been shut down for quite a while, and it’s been just a very tough time,” said Duffy. “But I hope people can start to feel the energy –you’re starting to

see openings happen; you’re starting to see activities and more people in the square.”

This week marked the beginning of Phase 2 of Governor Charlie Baker’s plan for reopening businesses. Restaurants can now welcome customers back for outdoor dining, and retail shops that implement safety guidelines can open their doors to shoppers.

For Duffy, the overall econo-

hey began arriving in twos and threes about an hour before the established start time, bringing signs and water bottles, in a nod to the bright sun and summer-like temperature in the low 80s. Just about everyone was also wearing a protective mask or had one dangling around their necks, in deference to the coronavirus pandemic.

By the time 2:00 p.m. rolled around and the young women who had organized the event began speaking, the crowd had swelled by the hundreds, with well over 1,000 on hand in front of Malden High School’s Jenkins Auditorium. Still the numbers grew, and as the Malden

I

knew that once the Johnny Manzi story hit, more would logically follow. He had many friends. And there are many tales to tell. Some can be printed, some cannot. This is from that “Hillbilly Hell Raiser” from the mean streets of long-ago Edgeworth, Kevin “The Original Devir Dawg” Larson: “Good morning Peter, I have a little addendum to the Johnny Manzi story. Good Friday, 1983. It is 5 o’clock in the morning. I’m unloading the Boston Globe truck [Kevin worked on Highland Avenue for the local print media distributor managed by an old saddle tramp named Gobbeo & Kev’s late brother Edward “Eddie Ballgame” Larson]. Obviously, it’s early and my brother Eddie is not there yet. Laugh out loud. Johnny (Manzi) comes out of the Highland Cafe to get the Boston Herald. He says to me ‘hey lucky.’ I look at him quizzically not knowing what the heck he meant. Johnny continued, ‘hey lucky go in and see Peter’ – meaning Peter (Trabucco) behind the bar. As old timers might remember the Highland’s hours of operation were ‘irregular.’ It was open from 3 a.m. till closing and all hours in between. Peter (Trabucco) had his loyal regulars who were having their early morning wakeup call of, ‘cold tea.’ So, I remember that I had gone in and saw Peter the previous day. 'Maundy Thursday,' also known as Holy Thursday to us Saint Peters’ altar boys. I joked with him about

playing ‘the double.’ I asked him ‘you know what that is right?’ I was a wise guy. Well lo and behold I hit for 300 bucks and Pete gave me the money with a stern look and some equally as stern advice. ‘Take the money and don’t come back!’

I took the money, his fatherly advice, and quietly slunk out the back door onto Malden St. Home in less than five minutes. So, Good Friday will always be known to me as the day I hit the 'daily double' for 300 clams. God forgive me.

Every morning I would go in and drop off the Herald to Peter behind that sanctified bar.

He would also never serve me a drink at the Highland. While attempting to acquire a Schlitz one long ago night he explained to me ‘you’re a good kid Kevin, don’t get corrupted with gambling and booze.’ Al-

cohol never passed my lips after that night. NOT! God Bless Peter, Johnny, and the Highland Cafe. Stay safe Peter.”

Thank you, Kevin, keep the stories comin’ my friend.

“It is said in Malden: today, tomorrow, and yesterday...”

This Memorial Day tribute is from my old compadre Jack Drane, proud Oak Grove lifer, husband to the lovely Claire and former owner of Jack’s Music Emporium on Pleasant Street: “Jack Meuse, M.H.S. Class of ’66. Joined the marines right after graduation.

We grew up together and had many great times. Was with him in Schopell’s the day he was leaving for Vietnam. Few months later got word that he was killed in Nam. All of us who grew up with him in Oak Grove still miss him.”

One more from an amazing, insightful woman – talented and underrated this actress had an enviable lust for life – Ava Gardner: “When I’m old and gray, I want to have a house by the sea. And paint. With a lot of wonderful chums, good music, and booze around. And a damn good kitchen to cook in.”

You know we are sitting correct in Malden when on May 29 I see my “recycle bin co-coordinator” taking away the Ballantine Ale cans from the recycle bin from the previous week.

These folks earning a living, the hard way.

Great to see retired Malden

ave you heard? The Malden High School Class of 2020 has adopted a vintage tune as its Official Class Song. It’s an instrumental number and it is one of those melodies, when one hears it, it seems like it was meant just for you, a once-in-alifetime-type song. Maybe you have heard of it: Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance.”

Of all the traditions that were pulled out from under them during the COVID-19 pandemic, the one that undoubtedly hurt the most was the ceremony that is the culmination of their school years, Graduation Day. As is happening at every other high school in America, Mal-

Graduation Day), where over 80 Malden teachers and staff fanned out across the city to visit each respective senior’s home, wherever they lived in all eight Malden wards. There are not many schools in America that did something like that!

Mastrangelo has also been working behind the scenes with City of Malden and local Board of Health officials to try and determine if it would be possible – and feasible – to try and hold some version of a traditional, outdoor graduation ceremony later this summer.

Cue the “Pomp and Circumstance”! It’s back on.

“It’s official! Malden High School’s Class of 20202 seniors will have the graduation ceremony they’ve been dreaming about,” Mastrangelo said.

On Tuesday, Mastrangelo announced to staff members and to the seniors, by email, that the Class of 2020 will be the guests of honor at an outdoor graduation ceremony on Monday, August 3, at 6:00 p.m. The traditional event will be held at Macdonald Stadium, 21 Pearl St., Malden.

“We are very excited about this and so are our seniors and their families,”Mastrangelo said.

Class of 2020 Graduates 286 from Northeast Metro Tech W

AKEFIELD -- Superintendent David DiBarri and Principal Carla Scuzzarella are pleased to announce the graduation of 286 students from Northeast Metro Tech.

“We could not be more proud to celebrate the achievements and accomplishments of the Class of 2020,” Superintendent DiBarri said. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, they have shown perseverance and determination. Congratulations to each and every one of you, and we wish you all the best as you take your next steps.”

Northeast Metro Tech held 16 socially distanced in-person commencement events over the course of four days last week, beginning on Monday, June 1, and ending Thursday, June 4. Graduations were spaced two hours apart, and students and their families were allowed to stand together during the ceremony while staying at least six feet from other families. Students were given personalized Class of 2020 face masks and family members were encouraged to wear their own face masks or coverings as well.

“I'm sure most of you don't know that my very first day as principal here was your first day

at Northeast,” Principal Scuzzarella said. “We walked into this school together. Here you are today; 720 days of high school are behind you. You made it.

You learned that you are resilient; you are able to withstand and recover from difficult conditions. These past two months have been challenging, but I could not be any prouder of each and every one of you than I am right now."

The Class of 2020 Valedictorian is Gianna Petkewich, a dental

assisting student of Saugus. She was also the Vocational Student of the Year.

“We may have lost the rest of our senior year yet we have gained an immense amount of support for one another,” she said. “I have had the chance to experience four unforgettable years of high school. From meeting the best of people to finding what my future career will be, I am grateful for the memories and opportunities Northeast has given me."

Petkewich plans to attend Regis College in the fall and major in dental hygiene on a pre-dental track.

“If you set your mind to do something and put the effort into it, you can do it,” she said. “If your path is college, work, or the military, it is your decision and you will excel. It has been an insane roller coaster ride, Class of 2020, and I couldn't imagine riding any of it without you.”

The Salutatorian is David Zuluaga Reyes, a drafting and design student of Revere. Zuluaga Reyes plans to attend the Wentworth Institute of Technology and study architecture.

“The pandemic has affected so many things, including our ability to be with each other,” he said. “Even so, our time is now.

We’re growing up and deciding what our future holds. We wear these robes today to signify that we are moving forward. We

graduate today to show that we are ready for what comes next,

Loud rock music, Joe Perry and Jamie Forbes also some of our commonalities – but it is the love of the quirky, the esoteric in life, that pique our interest and hold that bond tight – well, as tight as any bond between friends that stand in each other’s shadow about once every 10 years or so.

Which brings me to the time (you knew this was a segue, right?) that this well-traveled Malden boy was the feature in the Boston Herald way back in the year of our Lord, 2005.

“A Brush with Evil” was written

by Laurel J. Sweet on Nov. 20, 2005, with a headline quote from Nikki: “Serial killer’s painting is bad luck.” Seems that the unsuspecting and apparently naive Nikki Stone purchased an original “haunted” painting by serial killer John Wayne “Killer Clown” Gacy, and since the sale nothing but the worst of luck had befallen him. The “creepy conversation piece” was eventually consigned to Kaleidoscope Tattoo & Art in Cambridge CEO (and fellow Malden boy) Shawn McCarron, who hoped to unload the “cursed” signed self-portrait of Gacy’s alter ego “Pogo the Clown.” Stay tuned fellow Maldonians as I turn all investigative reporter on you (Jim Acosta?) and find out if this portrait in terror was ever actually un-

PEACEFUL MARCH | FROM PAGE 1 stretching from the front of the high school all the way down Salem Street to Malden Square.

The massive crowd on hand was as diverse as the Malden community itself. People from many races and ages, from babies in strollers to senior citizens, were on hand. All genders and those from all walks of life were participants as were city and state leaders.

Led by the organizers, who wielded megaphones from the back of a slow-moving pickup truck, one of the largest – and most meaningful – displays of community activism in Malden’s history got under way.

I am sorry I missed your birthday, Dom (Fermano). You turned the big 8-0 during the most horrific of times. Just letting you know that we were thinking of you and we all wish you another 80 years of happiness and life on earth. I know you can do it, Dom! We all know you can do it. With a little help from the “fruit of the vine” (and Sheila), turning 160 should not be a problem. Strong as a bull. Mentally as well as physically. You have been a role model and a mentor for many of us in Malden/Edgeworth for too many years to recount. Here’s to your health, my friend. Love you and hope to see you soon.

“Mangia bene, ridi spesso, ama molto” – (eat well, laugh often, love much), my dear friend.

“Cent’Anni.”

Did you know there is a pool hall in Malden called “Amazing Billiards” located on Faulkner Street? Neither did I. Not to be confused with the “grande dame” of old-school Malden pool rooms, Al’s Pool Room.

Much too clean to be Al’s by the looks of the photos I saw online.

Dommy DiSario needs your healing thoughts, and if you are the religious type, your prayers. Guys like Dommy are so rare. It would take much more column space than I am allotted to truly get to the essence of what kind of individual Dommy is. The brains and brawn behind Malden Overcoming Addiction is in a battle for his life. Nobody tougher, nobody more principled, nobody more selfless than this ex-football and baseball grinder who spent a good portion of his adult life trying to make a difference for those who need-

It was rather remarkable how the concept of this historic event came to fruition. The idea was conceived and then brought to reality through the efforts of three young women of color who had already been involved in promoting the ideals of racial and social justice and equity. Christelle Jean and Micaela Henry, both members of the junior Class of 2021 and officers in Malden High School’s Black Culture Club, and their friend Kimberly Timothee, an Everett resident who attends the Pioneer Charter School, worked on putting the event together with the club advisor, Kristy Magras, an MHS staff member, and others.

The organizers met with members of the Malden High School staff, including Principal Chris Mastrangelo, as well as Malden Police Chief Kevin Molis and other City of Malden personnel to come up with a plan to hold the peaceful march in accordance with all safety and health protocol in effect with the pandemic.

The route was worked and redone once or twice, but when it was completed, it was an excellent plan, judging how smoothly the whole event turned out, according to many.

The march went off without a hitch from the high school on Salem Street, turned right on Holden Street and then left on Eastern Avenue/Route 60. A supportive number of Malden Police Officers were on hand to stop and redirect traffic, ensuring that all the marchers were safe at all times. The march turned right at Bryant Street and then ended at the intersection with Cross Street and Lincoln Commons, which is Malden’s

largest expanse of passive recreational greenspace.

By then, the crowd of marchers and onlookers had grown even larger. A speaking segment followed, and the numbers continued to grow, close to or surpassing an estimated 2,000 people as those from the surrounding neighborhood and others from around the community joined in.

“We are here seeking justice and peace for the black community. We have waited far too long to receive it, and the time is now for us to fight for what is right,” said Micaela Henry.

She led a kneeling moment of silence in honor of the late George Floyd, who was killed in Minnesota recently, sparking a nationwide series of protests in hundreds of cities and communities. One Minnesota police officer has been charged with the murder of George Floyd in that incident, and three others face charges in connection with the murder charge.

Over a dozen speakers, including some performing slam poetry and others relating spoken rap lyrics relating to the day’s themes, appeared at the microphone.

When one of the largest displays of social activism in Malden’s history began to break up at around 4:30 p.m., the organizers and all those who participated could feel proud to have contributed to a cause which is the reason for protests and demonstrations all over the country. On this day, the Malden community united and showed that its residents are willing to work together for change in the pursuit of racial and social justice.

Ranaghan said Malden is doing well building its pension program and the city is expected to have its retirement system fully funded by 2030.

The budget proposal calls for $21.4 million to cover health in-

surance costs next year, a four percent increase over this year.

Ranaghan explained that the city chooses to be self-insured with Harvard Pilgrim administering claims rather than joining the Group Insurance Commission’s program, which provides health insurance to many municipal employees throughout the state. “ We’ve always ch osen to remain self-insured,” said

Ranaghan. “We steer our own ship as it relates to copayments and deductibles.”

Ranaghan said health insurance costs have been spiraling out of control over the years, and in 2018 copayments and deductibles were increased. The city has also created an employee wellness program that provides financial incentives for em-

Fireworks confiscated from Judson Street home

By Christopher Roberson

M

alden Police Officers and more than 12 federal agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) recently recov-

ered scores of illegal fireworks from the residence at 101 Judson St. Authorities reportedly executed a search warrant on the property at approximately 6 a.m. on June 9. Although the total number of fireworks was

not released, police said it was enough to fill three sport utility vehicles.

One resident, renting an apartment in the home, said the confiscated fireworks were worth $1,200. She also said she

and her eight children use fireworks every year to celebrate the Fourth of July at Franklin Park. In addition, the resident, whose name was not disclosed, said she had been setting off fireworks for the past week,

which ultimately caused her to be reported.

However, ATF agents elected not to press any charges and reminded the woman that fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts.

“DANGEROUS” TIMES: Malden’s Dana Rosenblatt became a New England hero in the boxing ring in the 1990s Rosenblatt, Chelsea’s John “The Quiet Man” Ruiz and Everett’s Rich LaMontagne fueled a renaissance in boxing interest (Following is Part One of a two-part series. Part Two will appear in the June 19 Advocate)

By Steve Freker

A

nyone who’s grown up in Malden and either stayed here as a longtime resident or pulled up roots years ago will tell you the same thing. Malden and sports go hand-in-hand and born-and-bred Maldonians just live for their sports history.

And why not? Malden’s the home of the sports shoe that cornered the market for decades. Converse Rubber churned out millions of Chuck Taylors for American basketball players, eventually becoming the go-to footwear for every NBA icon out there. Football and baseball each owned bigtime real estate in Malden, producing a pair of NFLers in two different decades and no less than 13 MLB draftees over a 25-year span, second to none for Massachusetts communities.

But for one momentous decade in local sports lore, a charismatic pugilist who wore the Star of David on his trunks – and owned a devastating right hook – made Malden residents, and many across greater Boston and New England, sit up

and take notice. For much of the 1990s and into the early part of the 21st century, Malden boxer Dana Rosenblatt practiced the “sweet science” in such a manner that made him a household name in his hometown and beyond.

To top it all off, how many professional boxers can add to their string of ring career tales that they fought (and won) a match right in the cozy confines of their own city?! Longtime residents and sports aficionados from this area will not soon forget the night of August 11, 1994, when they erected a ring in the middle of Malden’s Macdonald Stadium and “Dangerous” Dana Rosenblatt stayed undefeated with a unanimous decision over Canadian journeyman Jacques LeBlanc, going to 21-0 before a crowd of about 5,000.

From 1992-2002, Rosenblatt was the toast of the town in Malden and beyond, developing a strong following along a road that led him nearly to the top of the heap.

They say that football is a game of inches. Well, boxing is a game of lefts, rights and every punch in between, and it could be said that the Malden boxer’s

entire future and career ended up coming down to one punch.

That one, fateful punch, a looping right which rocked Rosenblatt like he’d never been rocked before, was the beginning of a quick end in that bout, played out on August 23, 1996. at Bally’s Casino in Atlantic City, N.J. Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Pazienza delivered the blow in the fourth round of what had been called a major stepping stone for Rosenblatt to the proverbial bigger and better events – had he won the fight. Instead, Pazienza finished what he started shortly afterward, handing Rosenblatt his first and only defeat of his professional career, which saw him fashion a remarkable, 37-1-2 career mark.

Bigtime fights seemed within Rosenblatt’s grasp, before the TKO loss to Pazienza. There were murmurs of a possible matchup with one of the most wellknown boxers of the times, Oscar De La Hoya, in Las Vegas, no less. Bigger stages…and bigger paydays were coming, it appeared.

But “The Punch,” as it was monikered by the great boxing writer Ron Borges, formerly of The Boston Globe and Boston Herald, took a heavy toll, and few of those big lights ever got turned on for Rosenblatt after that fight.

Still, though he never made it to a ring in Vegas. Rosenblatt was part of a unique slice of sports history, not only in Malden, but in the region in gen-

eral, as he was one of not one, but three rising boxing stars who hailed from the greater Boston neighborhoods. Included were heavyweight John “The Quiet Man” Ruiz, of Chelsea, who would go on to make millions, winning the WBA belt twice, and Rich “The Mountain” Richie LaMontagne of Everett is shown in LaMontagne, a former the early stages of his professional boxing Everett High football career.

BUSINESS | FROM PAGE 1 my, including Malden’s business community, is rebounding and heading into what looks like a safe and steady recovery.

Christenson asked Duffy where he planned to head to enjoy some local outdoor dining. It was a tough question because, as Duffy pointed out, there are a lot of great choices out there, and more are on the way. “We’ve put together an expediated outdoor seating application,” he said. “Restaurants that normally don’t have outdoor seating can apply, and we have a quick turnaround.”

Duffy said popular spots, such as Hugh O’Neill’s, District Kitchen on Florence Street and Pisa Pizza, already have great patio service. And this week, the Liquor Licensing Board approved outdoor seating for the Irish American Club, John Brewer’s Tavern in the Townline Plaza, Pearl Street Station and 3 Amigos. Malden Access TV has agreed to let Mystic Station use its sidewalk space for outdoor dining. But Duffy said the big news is Faces Brew Pub, which celebrated its grand opening this week with 12 picnic tables set up in the building’s fenced-off parking lot off of Commercial Street.

we must acknowledge that we cannot have environmental justice or climate justice without deeply incorporating the needs of racial justice. We are responsible for being a part of this civil rights struggle and rejecting the status quo.

“Everyone is doing it the right way,”said Duffy.“The only way to do this is the safe way. Businesses are doing that, and customers are responding.”

Restaurants are asking people to call ahead so that they can stagger customers, and some are taking reservations. “If you just walk up you might have to wait in line, but just be patient and you’ll get your chance to get in,” said Duffy.

Christenson asked how many local businesses had received support through the federal CARES Act, which provided funding to stabilize businesses during the COVID-19 shutdown.

Duffy wasn’t sure about the exact number, but he said that almost all who applied ended up getting money and it was an absolute lifeline, a bridge back to level ground where they can start turning a profit again.

The Malden Redevelopment Authority also has $100,000 to distribute in grants to support smaller businesses that were often overlooked when the federal money became available.

According to MRA Community Development Director Alex Pratt, more than 50 businesses have applied to that program.

Although there’s not enough money to help them all, Pratt

said, the broad response could influence the decision to offer a second round of funding for small businesses. Pratt also said that 37 percent of the applicants to the MRA program were minority business owners, 37 percent were women, and 30 percent were members of the city’s Asian community.

Duffy said reopening retail businesses has been a little more complicated. Owners can have eight customers in for every 1,000 square feet of space in a shop, but not all shops have the space.

Christenson asked if there were any local businesses that will not be back. Duffy said that unfortunately two Pleasant Street businesses, the Up Tea Hub and Nana Bee, a health and beauty supply shop that also featured baby clothes, have closed permanently.

Duffy said Malden is reopening just as the final pieces of the revitalization of downtown, which was spearheaded by Christenson and other city officials, are falling into place.

“Things feel like the energy is returning and there’s hope,”said Duffy. “We reopened Pleasant Street this week and that’s huge.

When this virus passes, we’re going to have a great tomorrow.”

Mastrangelo said specific details of the planned graduation ceremony will include appropriate physical distancing and the implementation of any other measures deemed fit at that time by the City of Malden, Board of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“We will have far fewer people on the field, and we will be strictly limiting attendance in

Mastrangelo said thanks were in order for Mayor Gary Christenson, Superintendent John Oteri, Mayoral Special Assistant Maria Luise, Board of Health Director Chris Webb and Malden Police Captain Glenn Cronin of the Malden Emergency Management Agency, all of whom were involved in discussions about hosting this event.

“We’re just very happy for our seniors; this is something they really wanted,”Mastrangelo said.

Paycheck Protection Program Bill Signed By President

A

Congress last week passed a bill extending the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) time period within which to incur necessary payroll expenses from eight weeks to 24 weeks from the date of the PPP loan funding date. Furthermore, the requirement for forgiveness of the loan by paying out 75% of the loan proceeds for salaries has been lowered to 60%. This leaves room for small businesses to use 40% of the loan proceeds for such expenses as rent, mortgage interest, utilities and other business expenses. The President signed the bill on June 5, 2020. The Bill is actually called the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act. The deadline for applying for a PPP loan remains at June 30, 2020. There are still monies available in the program.

The flexibility in the PPP is designed to make it easier for small businesses to achieve complete forgiveness of the loan. Current PPP borrowers can elect to stick with the original eight-week period or they can elect to utilize the 24-week period instead.

This is particularly helpful for businesses that just recently opened up again for business, such as retail clothing stores, as well as for restaurants that

do not even have the ability to serve customers inside their establishment as inside seating and seating at the bar is not currently allowed.

The Small Business Administration will be updating the forgiveness application, and a pdf file will be available on its website. It should be noted that the new law does not allow any borrower to extend the period in which to meet the payroll expenditure requirement beyond December 31, 2020. With the new 60% threshold comes an allor-nothing deal. That is, a small business has to meet the 60% expenditure requirement for payroll or none of the loan will be forgiven. There is no more sliding scale offered to the small business where most of the loan would have been forgiven if the small business only paid out 50% of the loan proceeds in payroll during the allotted time period. There may be an amendment to this bill to allow for partial forgiveness in these situations.

New borrowers now have five years to pay the loan back instead of two years, assuming the loan is not forgiven. The interest rate remains at 1% per year. The PPP was launched in early April with $349 billion in initial funding. That was exhausted in less than two weeks.

On April 21, 2020, Congress provided an additional $310 billion in funding for the program. It is designed for businesses with 500 or fewer employees. The business had to be in operation as of February 15, 2020.

“This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end...” I know that Memorial Day is in the rearview mirror, but I would still like to take a moment to remember a local veteran. I know Malden won’t mind. We all understand how important it is to remember our veterans as well as our storied past – Malden’s sons (and daughters) making the ultimate sacrifice since the Revolutionary War. The funeral for Marine Lance Corporal Eddie Marcell Garvin in 2006 was one of Malden’s more solemn days. Mourners crammed into the Sacred Heart Church in Malden Square as the organist played “God Bless America.”

The story goes that hundreds of family and friends tried to sing along but were too overwhelmed with grief. According to written accounts “some doubled over the pews in anguish or clung to mothers or fathers, crying inconsolably.”

Garvin was 19 and had only been deployed in Iraq for four weeks. 19!! Four weeks!! Killed on Oct. 4 during combat operations in Anbar Province. Malden: today, tomorrow, and yesterday, in 2020, remembers this brave 19-year-old boy: “Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!”

Roy A. Ghika

Nothing meant more to Roy than spending time with his family. A close second was drinking a cold Sam Adams from his keg after a hard day’s work. He traveled the world extensively with his wife Marty of almost 70 years. He was a patriot and served proudly in the Army. He was stationed in the Philippines in the late 40s-early 50s. He loved the flag and flew it proudly on his property for all to see. He’ll be buried with military

honors. He loved this country and he loved watching football with family. Being born during the depression made him extremely hard working and appreciative. He worked hard to support his family of 5, and built a successful business with his 3 sons that have been in business for 40 years. He was a fair and honest man with an extremely giving heart and he would speak his mind regardless of the consequences. What you saw is what you got and you always knew where you stood with him.

He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone that needed it.

He was a lifelong runner and an avid scuba diver. The wonder and awe of nature was not lost on him.

He loved the sea and dove for lobsters with his dive buddy Harvey at Lob Lolly Cove in Gloucester for decades. They had many adventures and he told those stories with a passion. They once caught a 30-pound lobster and a 16-pound lobster once too. They discovered an 800 pound pre-civil war anchor that was unearthed by the storms from the blizzard of ’78. That anchor now sits under his flagpole, flying the American Flag in his backyard in Malden.

He was a very high energy man and enjoyed landscaping his property that overlooks the Boston skyline and the ocean. He loved his tools and working with wood. He created jewelry boxes, plant hangers, wagons, lamps, birdhouses and chairs which adorn the houses of family members to this day.

He was extremely proud of the last name and the Albanian heritage of his elders. He was a man of his word, and his favorite poem was “The Man in the Glass”, by Peter Dale Wimbrow.

Roy is survived by his loving wife F. Martha “Marty” Ghika. Roy was the devoted father of Nancy Freda and husband Todd of FL, Gary D. Ghika and wife Donna of Saugus, Thomas M. Ghika and wife Lisa of Reading, Robert M. Ghika and wife Susan of Malden, his son-in-law David Surette of Lynnfield. Roy was the cherished grandfather of 15 grandchildren & 9 great-grandchildren. Loving brother-in-law of Dotty Ghika.

He was predeceased by his daughter, Kathy A. Surette and his late brother’s Victor & George Ghika and twins Ralph & Richard Ghika.

Ranaghan said health insurance money is transferred into a trust fund each month. Last year, there was a $2.5 million surplus carried over into this year, but a surplus is not expected this year.

Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy asked about caps on health insurance claims. Ranaghan said there is a $225,000 cap on coverage for each individual employee and only one person exceeded the cap this year. Still, because the cost of care is continually rising, the city is considering raising the amount of the cap to $250,000.

The city’s debt payments will decrease from $8.4 million to $7.4 million next year. The mon-

ey will cover loan payments for essential projects, such as the police station, the new city hall, Honeywell’s work on upgrading public buildings with energy efficiencies, LED streetlights and park improvements.

Grover said that $9.5 million in loans have been refinanced to save about $600,000 over the life of those loans. He added that the city is tracking other opportunities to refinance city loans for better rates.

The position of an internal auditor, which city councillors supported, has been cut from the budget. It hadn’t been filled yet, and city finance officials have prioritized avoiding layoffs rather than filling openings.

Grover said residents appreciated the onemonth extension on tax bills but added that revenue is coming into the city. “It doesn’t seem like we will have any issues with real estate taxes, excise taxes or water bills,” he said. “The majority of people are still actually paying their bills in a timely manner.”

SPORTS | FROM PAGE 12 that inner toughness and competitive spirit. He feared nothing and just wanted to win everything he competed in.”

From 1989 through 1991, Rosenblatt mastered several martial arts disciplines, including karate and judo. Under Angelo’s tutelage, he delved into kickboxing and found still another niche in which to excel. It was there the bridge to the boxing ring was formed. Angelo introduced Rosenblatt to veteran boxing trainer Joe Lake, of World Gym Boxing in Somerville, and a strong alliance was formed.

In 1992 after discussions between Rosenblatt, Lake and Angelo ensued, it was decided: Rosenblatt was turning pro.

What followed was a veritable whirlwind of boxing stepping stones. Few could have predict-

ed the upward spiral of success Rosenblatt would generate.

Rosenblatt fought six times that first year in 1992, including a whopping three bouts alone in the month of November. Included in this November trifecta was a coveted spot (for a novice like Rosenblatt, or any up-and-coming fighter) on a Top Rank card promoted by Bob Arum, an icon promoter then and now – it was at the showpiece boxing venue of the time, Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. The glittering gambling palace was only in its sixth year on the scene, having opened its doors in 1986, and aside from Atlantic City, was establishing itself as a key mecca for wagering East of the Mississippi.

At 5-10, and around 160 lbs. at the time, Rosenblatt was competing in the middleweight division that evening. Fighting in the second preliminary bout, the

Malden boxer could not have had a better night, with a first-round knockout of a fellow 20-year-old Massachusetts resident, Julio Rodriguez of Springfield, who had been making his professional debut at Foxwoods in that bout.

Rosenblatt improved to 4-0 and was still unbeaten in his sevenmonth-old professional career, all four wins by knockout.

Prior to the bout, there had been some questions of nerves for the young Malden boxer, appearing on such a big a stage as Foxwoods Resort at that point in career, just four fights into it.

Rosenblatt quickly put that to rest in a story in the Malden Evening News before the fight. “I’ve worked very hard for this opportunity and my team has done a great job getting me prepared for this opportunity,”Rosenblatt said. “I’m not thinking about anything but the fight and my

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

opponent. I’ll be ready.”

With his quick dispatch of Rodriguez in Round One of a scheduled four-rounder, Rosenblatt backed up those remarks in full.

In addition to his exciting debut at Foxwoods, Rosenblatt undoubtedly caught the eye of promoter Arum’s staff, as Rosenblatt eventually signed on to Arum’s stable of fighters in a move that proved lucrative to both as the Malden fighter’s star continued to rise.

Interestingly, also on the Foxwoods six-fight card that night was none other than Chelsea’s own John “The Quiet Man” Ruiz, who registered a fourth-round KO of Barry Kirton to improve to 3-0. Like Rosenblatt, Ruiz, also 20 years old at the time, had made his pro debut in 1992.

Ruiz, of course, would go on to become the first Latino to hold

the WBA Heavyweight title, capturing it twice, in 2001 and again in 2005, as part of a long career, from 1992-2010, compiling a 44-9-1 record with 30 knockouts. Included were storied title wins over the famed Evander Holyfield in 2001 and then over James Toney in 2005.

Along with the early and then continued success of Ruiz, Rosenblatt and Everett’s Richie LaMontagne (who turned pro in 1993), people in the greater Boston area began to notice the buzz about these young fighters, and boxing interest gained some momentum.

—Next week: In Part Two of this two-part story, “Dangerous” Dana Rosenblatt continues to have great success in his boxing career, eventually leading to a “pivotball” rivalry and pair of momentous matchups with one of the leading super middleweights of the time, Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Pazienza.
