he city supports homeowners with a residential exemption on their property taxes, but not everyone who is entitled to the tax break receives it, and some property owners who are not eligible pay the lower residential rate. City Assessor James O’Brien and Manager of Geographical Information System Operations Steve Farma were at this week’s City Council meeting with an update on their review of the residential tax exemption program which was requested by Councillor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria. In 2008, Malden adopted the
T
residential exemption, which is meant to reduce property taxes on owner-occupied homes by shifting some of the tax burden to high-value homes and non-owner-occupied residential properties. For the past seven years, the City Council has approved a 30 percent residential exemption, the maximum allowed by the state. The exemption is the dollar amount of 30 percent of the average value of all the city’s residential properties from large luxury apartment buildings to small, humble condos. In real numbers, back in 2018, the average value of all residential property in Malden was $489,209. Owner-occupied
properties had 30 percent of that average, or $146,763, subtracted from the assessed value of their homes, which reduced those property tax bills by $2067.88. “It’s a wonderful program for homeowners in Malden, and I think we should continue with it,” said DeMaria. Still DeMaria and others have raised concerns about residential exemptions being given to property owners who no longer live in their homes, or even in Malden. O’Brien said it’s difficult to trace those cases because people move, situations evolve and it’s hard to find reliable sources to confirm whether owners
are living in their properties or renting them out. According to O’Brien, excise taxes aren’t a solid source because not everyone drives and a lot of people lease vehicles which are registered in auto company names. Voter rolls are a key source but also not entirely dependable because, as the city saw last week, only 27 percent of residents who are registered actually vote. Not everyone cares or registers or votes. If residents move and hang onto their properties, unless they notify the city the residential exemption continues. It’s only with the sale of a property and the filing of a deed that an

“Malden: today, tomorrow and yesterday” salutes John O’Brien By Peter F. Levine ohn O’Brien. The name should sound familiar to those who read my columns on a regular basis. I’ve reprinted many of his “Musings” over the years and have featured stories written by his (also) talented son, David. John was a muchloved educator at Malden High School for many years. An incomparable storyteller, his admirers are legion. An accomplished playwright and actor who tackled issues nearest and dearest to his heart. A very principled man who would often speak truth to power. His progressive ideals way ahead of his
J
time. Truth be told when I attended Malden High School our paths hardly ever crossed. A nod to each other on occasion as we passed each other in the hall or a polite “how ya doin” as he raced past me in Malden Square with his trademark soft hat and overcoat. Mr. O’Brien coached track. I did not compete. His English class bypassed me as I struggled with other curriculum. I did not have the acting chops Rosemary Mayne, Dave Surette or Peter Zschokke had in order to be in that wonderful little creative world that existed in the high school at the time. It was later that I discovered his “Musings” column and became a big fan. His love of
wordplay ranged from“groaner” puns to subtle wit – both on full display in his columns. I loved it! Thought they were incredibly clever. Here are just a scant few thumbnail sketches of this man’s extraordinary life by people who knew him best: I did not know his daughter Ellen very well. Saw her at the Y a lot back in the day (great swimmer); she later became a successful reporter at the Boston Globe. John’s obituary in the Globe was peppered with Ellen’s remembrances: “For me he was just a fascinating juxtaposition. He was profoundly polite, he held doors and never interrupted, and I never remem-
ber hearing him curse except in dramatic situations. Everybody was shocked when he did‘Glengarry Glen Ross’– the David Mamet play known for its bursts of profanity. At the same time he was wearing political T-shirts protesting the war in Iraq, even when he was sick with pancreatic cancer.” His obituary noted that“preferring public transportation, or better yet shoe leather, Mr. O’Brien did not own a car.”Ellen continued:“He was the coolest guy in town. I’d be walking down the street with him, and people would call out, Hey Mr. O’Brien, you want a ride? And he loved to say, ‘No thanks, I’m in a hurry’”

The late, great John O’Brien
I spent a lot of time with his youngest son, David, in high school and beyond. Dave is a talented author and has contributed to my columns on a number of occasions some outstanding and thoughtful pieces. Dave was a competitive athlete – never the most talented “athlete,” but his work ethic and intelligence earned him a spot in the MHS Athletic Hall of Fame. We spent many a night reading literature, discussing the classics and comparing each other’s favorite authors on the Bandstand at Devir Park back in the day. Insert a great big smiley face. Dave was kind enough to share this story of hanging with his pops – take it away Dave: “I was at a regular-season Sox game with my dad, John O’Brien. He, and perhaps surprisingly, stood for the National Anthem with his cap over his heart. I noticed him looking at an empty seat. A rare thing at Fenway. And I remember thinking: He’s writing. The anthem finished. We sat down. I thought: Here we go. And this is the story my father told me: ‘It’s game seven of the ALCS. Sox versus Yanks. A guy ducks out of work, goes to an ATM, and gives a thousand dollars to a scalper. He finds his seat. And at the end of the second inning he realizes that the seat next to him is still empty. So, he turns to the old man sitting on the other side of the empty seat and says: Hey, mister: This must be the only empty seat in the ballpark. The old man looks at the empty seat and says: That was my wife’s seat. We’ve had these season tickets for forty years. And even though she wasn’t interested in baseball, she came to every single game just to keep me company. “Our Time Together,” she called it. It made her happy just to be near me. She would knit her way through a double-header with a smile on her face. She was the most amazing woman. And I was the luckiest husband anywhere, ever. But she died...recently. And the guy says: Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss. And I know it’s not my business. But don’t

ore residents may soon be receiving notices in the mail about different proposals for projects and businesses in their neighborhoods. City Council Ordinance Committee Chairman Craig Spadafora has proposed a pair of amendments to the city’s building regulations and zoning ordinance that would change the requirement for notifying property owners about land subject to demolition permits, small cell antenna installations and marijuana businesses. The current rules require City Clerk Greg Lucey to mail notices to owners of property within 300 feet of the property line of land where permits for those businesses, installations and demolitions are being considered. Spadafora has proposed extending the notification requirement to cover properties within 500 feet. But he also left the door open to the possibility of notifications covering even greater distances and more properties. “We want to standardize the number of feet that require notification,� he said before requesting that the proposed amendments be referred to the Ordinance Committee for review. But Spadafora’s amendments are likely tied to

bors but only as far as 300 feet from MassMedicum’s proposed location. Others wanted to know why they weren’t notified about the zoning meeting that turned their neighborhood into a marijuana establishment overlay district where the 75-foot residential buffer zone no longer applies. One woman said the neighborhood was kept in the dark and blindsided. Another woman said the only reason some people had any information about meetings and proposals is because she and other neighbors handed out flyers and knocked on doors. Spadafora and City Council President Jadeane Sica, who was also at the community meeting, explained that MassMedicum’s license isn’t a done deal. The next step will be the City Council’s hearing on the company’s application for a special permit. Spadafora and Sica encouraged the audience to bring their concerns to the City Council. But the neighbors wondered if they would receive a notice letting them know the date and time of that meeting. No matter where one stands on the retail marijuana industry, it seems clear the city needs to ramp up its communication with residents on proposals and meetings. As Spadafora suggested this week, it would be good for the city to have a consistent notification process for residents. But he also seemed to suggest it would be even better for the city to have a notification process that’s fair to its neighborhoods.

something more than an appreciation for consistency and good bureaucratic housekeeping. Last month, Attorney Phil Silverman and Dr. James Kurnick held a community outreach meeting to introduce MassMedicum, a retail marijuana business which they hope to open at 616 Broadway. A community meeting is a required step in the cannabis licensing process. Spadafora ran the meeting, which was held in the auditorium of Linden STEAM Academy, and it was not friendly. Residents listened for about 30 minutes to Silverman, who outlined MassMedicum’s plans for customer consultations, the quality of its products, dayto-day operations, security, parking, employment and projected revenue for the city. Kurnick, who would be the sole owner of MassMedicum, spoke briefly about his years of experience in the biotech field developing treatments for cancer patients and medicines for other diseases. He shared his belief that cannabis has true medicinal qualities. When Silverman and Kurnick wrapped up their presentation, Spadafora asked the audience if there were any questions. Some people wanted to know why the company chose a densely populated neighbor as a location. But more people wanted to know why they weren’t notified about the outreach meeting and why they had to hear about it from neighbors. Notifications did go out to neigh-

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 15, 2019
LGBTQ community members feel welcomed at Mystic Valley Elder Services’ monthly social M ystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) started Mystic Tea nearly eight years ago to provide an affirming, comfortable gathering place for LGBTQ older adults and anyone who wants to meet, eat and socialize with a lot of very interesting and welcoming people. Within that time, participation in the monthly meetings has remained robust, and newcomers to the MVES LGBTQ senior community have joined the gathering, finding companionship, acceptance and the enjoyment of shared experiences. “It’s a space where you don’t feel inhibited,” said Malden resident Frank Lapiana, a regular participant in the group. “You may have grown up in an environment where you were mistreated or where you were made to feel like an outcast, but this group setting is very comfortable and welcoming.” Mystic Tea is a gathering for anyone – with a focus on serving lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender older adults – held on the third Tuesday of the month from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at MVES (300 Commercial St. in Malden).
Mystic Tea is open to LGBTQ adults from anywhere in Massachusetts. The “tea” includes coffee, tea and a hearty meal, but more importantly, good company and conversation. Lapiana said it’s a comfortable group, always ready to make a first-timer feel welcome and embraced. And he notes that for some of the participants, it’s the only LGBTQ-specific space they ever encounter and they feel connected to each other. For the several dozen regular attendees of Mystic Tea, both male and female, the monthly event has become central to their social calendars. Sometimes there are special guest speakers, presentations on senior nutrition or help navigating Medicare. Many of the members come every month and have made new friends. “It gets you out of the house and adds variety to your week,” said Christopher Mason of Malden.“Mystic Tea is a place where I can be myself and feel comfortable in conversation.” “We want all older adults in the Mystic Valley region to feel
ty with a safe and welcoming place to build this peer support and share with each other. The participants may enjoy the meal served, but it’s the company that
safe, comfortable, independent, and supported,” said MVES CEO Dan O’Leary. “We treat all seniors equitably, and equitable treatment sometimes means reaching a bit further, trying a bit harder, and doing a bit more to create a welcoming and hospitable agency – and community.” An important part of independent living for older adults is community and/or family support; however, too often LGBTQ seniors are alienated from their families, and they do not know how to find community members who would affirm their identities. Mystic Tea creates a welcoming community space for these individuals to socialize, develop trusting friendships and build a peer support network. Peer support and connection have proven health benefits for seniors. A sense of community improves seniors’ emotional well-being and outlook, which in turn has a beneficial impact on health – including appetite, activity, memory and intellect. Mystic Tea provides the members of the senior communi-

Malden Neighborhood Basketball League celebrates 35 years of play By Barbara Taormina he Malden Neighborhood Basketball League has touched a lot of lives since founder Ken Mazonson launched the organization back in 1985. This week, the City Council honored Mazonson and the nonprofit organization’s contribution to the community with a citation in recognition of the league’s 35th anniversary. “Anything that lasts 35 years… that’s a statement,” said Coun-
T
cillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora, who joined the City Council’s chorus of congratulations and thanks for Mazonson and all the coaches who have put years of work into the league’s success story. Mazonson, who intended to simply let councillors know about the league’s upcoming anniversary, wasn’t expecting a citation or anything else too official, and he was quick to share the credit with the league’s 25 to 30 coaches, many of whom

years, and Sean Hickey, a former player-turned-coach, were at the meeting, and Mazonson pointed them out as two longtime members who have stuck with the league because of what it offers to Malden’s young people. “I started the program 35 years ago for kids who didn’t make their high school teams or were academically ineligible,” Mazonson told the City Council, adding that the league is open to all Malden sophomores, juniors and seniors. Mazonson recalled that he needed 40 kids to join for the league to work. On the very first night of registration, he signed up 44 players. A couple days later, he added another 33 kids to the roster.“Since then, we’ve had about 1,500 kids who have gone through the program,” he said. Players need to be enrolled in school, and Mazonson said some of the best payback has been from kids who have said they stuck with school and graduated so they could play on the league. But there are also other reasons.“It’s a family atmosphere
and there’s a lot of camaraderie,” said Mazonson. The league’s eight teams have a 14-game season that runs from January to March with the games played at Ferryway School on the weekends. There are also playoffs, a championship game and hot shot and three-point contests along the way. The league has its fans, including local businesses that help financially support the program, which runs on a Community Development Block Grant and continual fundraising by players and coaches. “Mayor Gary Christenson is one of our biggest supporters,” said Mazonson, adding that Christenson is often at games taking notes on plays and players he highlights during appearances on the Malden Access TV show “Around the Rim.” Building a successful youth sports program is no mean feat, and Mazonson said he is proud of the fact that the league has become a fixture in Malden.“But the best part is knowing the impact the league has had on the kids and on the city,” he said.

‘Tis the Season – for flu! SERVPRO cleaning specialists in the Everett area share commonsense precautions for controlling the flu virus EVERETT – Flu season is here, and it’s often marked by the offer of free flu shots in neighborhood pharmacies and stores across the country. SERVPRO cleaning pros in the Everett area – experts in cleaning and sanitizing building materials, surfaces, and contents after fire, water or natural disasters – remind home and business owners how important it is to step-up routine cleaning efforts during this time of year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flu virus can remain viable on surfaces for up to 48 hours. Cleaning surfaces and objects that are frequently touched minimizes the likelihood of contacting the flu virus when you touch an infected surface.
According to the CDC, nearly 15 percent of the U.S. population suffered from the flu in 2018. More than 950,000 people were hospitalized, and almost 80,000 people died from flu complications, making 2018 the most severe flu season since 2009. “As an emergency response company, we understand the hidden danger of contaminated surfaces in a workplace or home,” said Servpro Industries, LLC CEO Rick Isaacson. “This time of year, the flu virus can be a ‘hidden danger’ at home, at work and in the community. It is a serious illness, and we want our friends and neighbors in the Everett area to take it seriously.” The CDC recommends the following to help protect yourself or your loved ones from con-
tracting the flu: 1. Get vaccinated. The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccination as the first and most important protection against this serious virus. 2. Thoroughly wash your hands (20 seconds or more with soap and water) or sanitize them frequently throughout the day, even if you are not infected, to help protect yourself and others. 3. Beware of frequently touched surfaces, like handrails and doorknobs. Keep them clean at home using a bleach and water solution and clean your hands as soon as possible if you must touch them in public. If you or a family member comes down with the flu despite these precautions, keep in mind that the flu spreads primarily through droplets from a

sick person when they cough, sneeze or talk. With that in mind, the CDC offers the following guidelines to help control the spread of the disease: 1. Stay home and keep your distance. Infected droplets from a sick person’s nose or mouth can travel up to six feet and land in the noses and mouths of people nearby, exposing them to the illness. 2. Wait until you are fever free – without medications – for at least 24 hours before returning to school, work or normal activities. 3. Cover your nose and mouth
with a tissue or your sleeve or elbow when you cough or sneeze. Dispose of the tissue and clean your hands with soap or a sanitizer with 60 percent alcohol. There is no such thing as a foolproof flu protection plan, says Isaacson, but frequent handwashing and conscientious cleaning practices at home, work and in the community are precautions everyone can practice to help keep them and their loved ones healthy.

that One Step... Beyond.” Random rummaging through old Malden memorabilia. Malden High School Class of 1933 trailblazing African American Malden Police Officer and World War II veteran Myron DeWitt “Dee” Carter had these kind words to say about Sal “Butchie” Gennetti when he ran for mayor in 1991:“If honesty, integrity and dedication to a job equal success, then Butch Gennetti will be a most effective mayor for the City of Malden. As a former police officer, I have seen firsthand his ability to make quick, critical decisions. Butch has always exuded a confidence that carriers over from his personal life to his professional endeavors and his tenure on the school committee. I have confidence that Butch will apply himself to each and every issue without any bias towards political expediency, Butch Gennetti will do the job – it is just that simple.” “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end...” Funny story from the “Norman Greenbaum Spirit in the Square” love fest. If you recall, Chief Molis pranked our hero Norman with a fake parking ticket from 60 years ago. Norman and Chief got a big chuckle out of it; I did, too. Chief told me that a few minutes later Big G asked him how much the ticket would have been. Chief told him “probably a quarter.” Norman hands Chief a quarter. All paid up he says. Chief carries the quarter as a souvenir of“Norman Greenbaum Spirit in the Square” night in his hip pocket.
you think you would have been less sad and less lonely if you had given the ticket to someone else? A friend? A relative? A neighbor? The old man looks at the guy and says: Don’t you think I tried? I called everybody. They’re all at the funeral.’ Yup. That’s what it was like to hang out with my dad, John O’Brien.” Yet more “Musings” from the inimitable pen of the late John O’Brien, whose wit and wisdom endeared him to generations of MHS students, Maldonians and faculty at Malden High School. As well as the inspiration for the name of this column. Here are a few more witticisms from his iconic “Musings” column taken from the biweekly newspaper called the Malden Sun-Times from Oct 7, 1976 (their motto: “In Malden For Good”): • “One man’s demi-god is another man’s demagogue.” • “Anna, Mal is at the zoo.” • “As America embarks on the medieval notion that people must live where they work, what will happen to the husband who teaches in Everett – whose wife teaches in Malden?” • “She asked me to wait a week. I was too weak to wait.” • “I was the apple of her eye until she saw me in my fruit of the loom.” “What you are about to read is a matter of human record. Explain it: we cannot. Disprove it: we cannot. We simply invite you to explore with us the amazing world of the Unknown... to take

City Council approves affordable housing trust fund By Barbara Taormina ity officials have made good on the promise to focus more on producing and preserving affordable housing with the creation of Malden’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The City Council voted unanimously this week to establish the fund, which will be used to preserve expiring rent restrictions on existing affordable units, to convert existing homes into affordable housing and to create new affordable homes through partnerships, typically with nonprofit organizations. Councillors also voted to channel 50 percent of the money private housing developers pay in mitigation fees into the new fund. Members of the Massachusetts Senior Action Council who attended the City Council subcommittee meetings on the creation of the trust fund were at this week’s meeting to applaud the final vote. Ordinance Com-
C
mittee Chairman Craig Spadafora thanked them, fellow councillors, the Malden Redevelopment Authority (MRA), the Mayor’s Office, residents and other city officials who he said were part of a collaborative effort behind the trust fund. Spadafora said the City Council received the MRA proposal for the trust fund at the end of August and managed to work through all the details for something very big in a short amount of time. “It’s well overdue and I know some residents think we should have done it faster, but I think we did it pretty quick,” he said. The Affordable Housing Trust Fund is the centerpiece of a slate of housing strategies put together by MRA Community Development Director Alex Pratt and Malden Senior Planner Evan Spetrini. Also in the works are a revolving loan program for security deposits for apartment rentals and a feasibility study on
inclusionary zoning that would require affordable units to be included in new residential projects. But the new trust fund is meant to be the hub of the city’s affordable housing initiatives. More than 100 other communities have local affordable housing trusts that rely primarily on money generated through the Community Preservation Act (CPA) to move affordable housing projects forward. The CPA requires communities to commit 10 percent of the annual revenue from the program’s property tax surcharge coupled with a slice of state preservation funding to affordable housing. But Pratt and Spetrini proposed that Malden work faster and harder to build the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund by redirecting development mitigation fees. In certain sections of the city, developers pay a $2,000-per-unit fee to mitigate the impacts of new housing projects. Historically, that
money has been split between the mayor and the City Council, which divides its share of the mitigation fees among its 11 members who use it to support neighborhood improvement projects. The City Council voted this week to restructure the mitigation fee program and put 50 percent of the money in the new trust fund. The remaining 50 percent will continue to be split between the mayor and the City Council. According to Pratt and Spetrini, the city is in line to collect more than $1 million in mitigation fees next year from the J Malden Center project downtown and from the new units going up at Overlook Ridge. State laws that govern municipal trust funds for affordable housing require communities to appoint a board of trustees with at least five members who will have the authority to accept property, donations gifts and grants, and to buy, sell, lease and
improve properties. In many communities, board members can also borrow money using trust fund assets as collateral. The City Council approved a board structure that Spadafora said was designed to ensure transparency and include different perspectives. Malden’s housing trust fund will be managed by a seven-member board chaired by Mayor Gary Christenson or his designee. The board will also include a city councillor or the City Council’s designee and the director of the Malden Housing Authority. The fourth seat will go to a Malden resident who either lives in or is eligible for deed-restricted affordable housing. The remaining three seats will go to members who can bring experience and expertise in affordable housing, real estate, finance or nonprofit housing services to the board. Board members will be nominated by the mayor and confirmed by the City Council.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 15, 2019
TAXD | FROM PAGE 1 old residential exemption ends and a new one begins. But that’s only if new occupying owners apply for it, and sometimes they don’t. The city doesn’t automatically grant the exemption. “One of the reasons we’ve never done a major audit is because the information is so in flux,� said Farma, adding that the city does stumble across undeserved exemptions through reports from neighbors, applications for building permits and inspections. But last month Farma did start wading through city records that showed 12,570 residential properties in Malden of which 8,451, or 67 percent, were owner-occupied. “With respect to concerns about folks receiving the exemption who shouldn’t be, Steve produced a report and came up with 209 properties he thought should be looked at,�said O’Brien. “I’ve gone through about 95 of them so far and of that, there are probably about 25 that warrant me looking even a little closer.� “It almost needs to be done on a case-by-case basis,� added O’Brien, who mentioned one tax bill that’s mailed to North Carolina to caregivers of elderly parents who are still property owners who live in their home in Malden. Councillor-at-Large Craig
Spadafora suggested that the city should send a letter every year to every property owner that asks whether he or she lives at that address. Spadafora suggested that owners who confirm their properties are owner-occupied should get the exemption, and those who fail to respond should be cut from the exemption list. But that brought O’Brien back to 2008, the first year of the exemptions when a description of the program and form to sign up for the tax break was mailed to every residential property in the city. It wasn’t pretty. “Do you know how many people do not respond because of apathy and
Award-Winning Landscaping Servicing the North Shore for over 38 Years
skepticism?� he asked. O’Brien said the greatest response the Assessor’s Office received that year was from angry residents calling on the phone to ask what the city was doing to them. O’Brien pointed to statistics from the last eight years that show that the percent of owner-occupied properties in Malden has consistently ranged from 67 to 69 percent of all residential properties. Both he and Farma acknowledged that some property owners do receive undeserved residential exemptions, but they suggested those numbers are relatively small, and the city eventually catches up with them.

COUNSELORS FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE VETERANS (H 4177) House 154-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill providing that UMass Medical School develop a continuing education program focusing on the needs of students who are veterans. Clinical and non-clinical counselors at the 29 state colleges across the state would be required to participate in the program. Issues covered would include post-traumatic stress disorder and its symptoms; military culture and its influence on the psychology of service members and veterans; and available resources and methods of referral for the treatment of deployment-related health conditions. “Conditions like PTSD can be incredibly debilitating and isolating on campus,� said Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee Chair Rep. Linda Dean Campbell (D-Methuen). “Veterans need to know that there are resources to help them. Training counselors at our institutions of higher learning to be familiar with the challenges that veterans face during the transition from active duty and combat to civilian life, and to assist them when the going gets tough, will greatly enhance the chances of a veteran completing their program of study and leading a productive civilian life.� (A “Yes� vote is for the bill.)

COLLEGE CLOSURES (S 2387) House 158-0, approved a bill that would require colleges and universities to post financial information online in a publicly accessible fashion, undergo regular budgetary screening and alert state officials if they face
imminent closure. The Senate approved the measure on a voice vote without a roll call and sent it to Gov. Charlie Baker. The bill was filed in response to Mount Ida College which in April 2018 caught everyone by surprise
with the unexpected announcement that it would shut down at the end of that academic year. Under the bill, all higher education institutions would be required to alert the Board of Higher Education if they have any liabilities that create a risk
of “imminent closure.� The measure also requires board members at every college and university to undergo regular fiduciary and accredita-

If the board determines that a school does in fact face closure, the school would be required to create a contingency plan with details outlining how students can complete their programs, how their records would be maintained and how deposits would be refunded. The board would impose a fine of up to $1,000 per day if it determines that an institution has failed to comply with this new law. The board would also have the power to suspend state funding to the college or revoke degree-granting authority. “I look forward to the governor signing this important piece of legislation into law,â€? said Sen. Anne Gobi (D-Spencer), Senate chair of the Committee on Higher Education.“Just this week news of another Massachusetts College considering a merger punctuates the importance of having the law in place quickly to establish guidelines and give students, faculty, staff and the community a form of protection.

In 1782, Sampson used the name “Robert Shurtleffâ€? to join the elite Fourth Massachusetts Infantry Regiment led by Captain George Webb at West Point, New York. Over the following year and a half, she participated in dangerous scouting missions, led a raid that brought about the capture of 15 Tory men, and stormed a British fort during the Siege of Yorktown. “Deborah Sampson was truly an unsung heroine of the American Revolution,â€?said Rep. David Vieira (D-East Falmouth).“It is time we begin to sing her story and the stories of the countless women veterans who have contributed to the freedom of our country and the strength of our democracy. I am pleased to introduce the Deborah Sampson Memorial Commission Resolve along with a woman veteran herself ‌ Rep. Campbell. I look forward to the day when young men and

PUBLIC HEARING TO BE RESCHEDULED – STATUTORY NOTICE REQUIREMENTS NOT MET November 15 & 22, 2019
Dear Betty, Walk-in tubs are a good option for mobility challenged seniors because they’re much easier to get into and out of than a standard tub, and will help prevent slips, trips and falls too. Here’s what you should know. The Basics Walk-in bathtubs are uniquely designed tubs that have a watertight, hinged door built into the side of the tub that provides a much lower threshold to step over (usually 2.5 to 7 inches) versus a standard tub that’s around 15 inches. In addition to the low threshold, most walk-in tubs also have a built-in seat, grab bars, anti-slip floors, anti-scald valves and a handheld showerhead. And many higher-end models offer therapeutic spa-like features that are great for seniors with arthritis and other ailments. The kind of tub you choose will depend on your needs, preferences and budget, and the size and layout of your bathroom. The cost of a walk-in tub today with professional installation ranges anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000. Here are some other things you’ll need to consider, to help you make a good choice. Tub size: Walk-in bathtubs vary in size. Most models have high walls between three and four feet high, and are between 28 and 32 inches wide, but will fit into the same 60-inch long space as your standard tub without having to reconfigure the room. There are also bariatric walk-in tubs that have wider door openings and larger seats to accommodate people over 300 pounds. Wheelchair-accessible: Most walk-in tubs have an inward opening door, but if you use a wheelchair, an outward opening door may be a better option because they’re easier to access. Tub options: The most basic and least expensive type of walkin tub you can get is a simple soaker tub. But depending on your preferences, you have many other options like an aero therapy (air jets) tub, hydrotherapy (whirlpool water jets) tub, aromatherapy tub that mixes fragrant essential oils with the water, or a combination tub that has multiple features. Also, look for tubs that have an in-line heating system to keep your bathwater warm while you soak. Fast fill and drain: One drawback to using a walk-in bathtub is that the bather must sit in the tub as it fills and drains, which can make for a chilly experience. To help with this, consider a tub that has fast-filling faucets and pump-assisted drainage systems, which significantly speed up the process. But these options may require some plumbing modifications to your bathroom. Easy cleaning: Keeping the tub clean should be a priority, especially if you get a therapy tub because of the bacteria that can grow in it. So, look for tubs with self-cleaning systems. Warranty: The best walk-in bathtubs on the market today are made in the USA. Also make sure the company you choose has a lifetime “leak-proof” door seal warranty and lengthy warranties on both the tub and the operating system. Where to shop: While there are many companies that make, sell and install walk-in bathtubs, some of the best in the industry are American Standard (AmericanStandard-us.com), Safe Step (SafeStepTub.com) and Kohler (KohlerWalkinBath.com). Most companies offer financing with monthly payment plans. Unfortunately, original Medicare does not cover walk-in bathtubs nor do Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policies, but some Medicare Advantage plans may help pay. There are also many states that offer Medicaid waivers that will help pay for the purchase and installation of a walk-in tub to those that qualify, and the VA offers some programs that provide financial aid too. To get started, contact a few companies who will send a local dealer to your home to assess your bathroom and give you product options and estimates for free.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 15, 2019
BEACON | FROM PAGE 17 CAMPAIGN FINANCE CHANGES (S 2391) Senate 39-0, approved a bill making changes in the state’s campaign finance laws. Current law exempts legislative candidates and some candidates for mayor from the requirement that they use a depository reporting system which currently must be followed by statewide, county and many other municipal candidates. The bill requires legislative candidates and some candidates for mayor to adhere to the same strict requirements. The depository reporting system requires candidates to file a monthly report that discloses all campaign finance activity. Legislative reports are under the current non-depository system and are filed only two or three times a year. Another provision directs the Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) to write regulations regarding appropriate use of websites and social media for campaign purposes. The measure also creates a special legislative commission to examine the feasibility of allowing candidates for state, county or municipal elected office to use campaign funds to pay for family care and child care services for the candidate “Nearly all candidates, including statewide officers, county officers, Governor's Council, mayors and councilors in cities over a population of 65,000, have participated in this depository reporting system — with the exception of some mayoral and all legislative candidates,� said the bill’s sponsor Sen. Diane DiZoglio (D-Methuen). “This landmark legislation enhances transparency and accountability in our campaign finance law by requiring that bank statements are sent to OCPF and that we disclose our sources of campaign contributions and expenditures much more often for the public to see.� “I’m proud of the Senate for passing this campaign finance reform legislation today,� said Elections Committee chair Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover). “The depository system will lead to increased transparency and uniformity, while minimizing the accidental errors in reporting that often plague campaigns. Voters deserve to know how we get our money as candidates and how we spend it, and the move to the depository system will make all of that data more readily available.� The House has already approved a different version of the bill and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration (A “Yes� vote is for the bill.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes CHILD CARE FOR CANDIDATES FOR PUBLIC OFFICE (S 2391) Senate 38-0, approved an amendment that would allow a candidate for public office to use campaign funds for child care while the candidate is campaigning on his or her own behalf or attending events directly related to his or her campaign. Under current law, candidates are prohibited from using campaign funds for their personal use. The state’s OCPF has classified child care, while performing campaign duties, as a personal expense rather than a campaign expense. “Campaigning is so hard and has so many barriers, especially with family to care for,� said the amendment’s sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “But today we are starting the process to remove one more barrier by examining whether candidates should be able to use donated funds to pay for family care services during campaign activities. We must take bold steps to diversify our elected office holders.� (A“Yes�vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes

BEACON | FROM PAGE 19 HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their 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 October 28-November 1, the House met for a total of five hours and 30 minutes and the Senate met for a total of five hours and 47 minutes. Mon. November 4 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Senate 11:06 a.m. to 11:59 a.m. Tues. November 5 No House session No Senate session Wed.

OBITUARY | FROM PAGE 22 states by bus. Dan was a master of conversation and connecting with people. He was a Malden/ New England historian with an amazing memory. Dan touched the lives of so many Maldonians, affectionately known as "the Mayor of Linden� and, along with his mother and three aunts, was one of a long line of family retirees from the City of Malden. Most of all, Dan loved kids and spent most of his life looking after, babysitting, mentoring, and supporting youth activities. Upon retire-
ment from the city, Dan began Malden school crossing guard duties. In 2012 Dan was recognized by Malden Mayor Gary Christenson receiving citations from both the City Council and School Committee for shielding a child from an oncoming car. Dan always made people around him feel special in their own way, by highlighting, boasting, their skills and achievements. He will be missed by many. Visiting hours will be held at the A.J. Spadafora Funeral Home, 865 Main Street, Malden on Friday November 15 from 4-8pm. A Mass of Christian Burial celebrating Dan’s
life will be held in Saint Joseph’s Church, 770 Salem Street, Malden on Saturday November 16 at 10:00am. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend. Interment will be in Forest Dale Cemetery, Malden.
