sure the two main ingredients
were key parts of the game plan
in historic Game #135 versus
traditional rival Medford High
School. The two essential additives?
Tried-and-true, dating all
the way to 1889, are these:
— Run the football, early, often,
late... and then run it some
more
— Limit turnovers. Better yet?
Render them extinct on Thanksgiving

City Council votes to ease
property taxes for residents
By Barbara Taormina
T
he City Council adopted a tax
rate and policy this week that
refl ect the collective belief that
residents and families are the
foundation of the community.
The council unanimously approved
Director of Assessments
Nate Cramer’s recommendation
that the city set a residential tax
factor of .9027. The tax factor determines
how much of the 2023
tax burden will fall to residential
property owners and how much
will be shifted to owners of commercial
and industrial properties.
The city can only collect 2
½ percent more than the total
amount of property tax revenue
collected last year.
Malden has historically favored
shifting as much of the
tax burden as possible from residential
real estate owners to
commercial and industrial property
owners.

celebrates 80 years
Advocate Staff Report
L
ifelong Malden resident Maureen
McGaffi gan turned 80
years young on November
26. Mayor Gary Christenson
stopped by Pearl Street Station
to join her family celebration
and give her a citation in recognition
of her milestone birthday.
Maureen has been very involved
in the community through her
participation in many organizations,
including Zonta, Bike
to the Sea, the Irish American
Women’s Auxiliary and the Malden
Democratic City Committee.
Most impressive is her 50plus
years she dedicated to nursing
both as a school nurse and
a member of Malden’s Board of
Health. When Mayor Christenson
asked Maureen what her secret
is for such a long and hap- py life, she said that the love of family keeps her young.
Mayor Gary Christenson and Maureen McGaffi gan

Mayor, Congresswoman distribute groceries
at United Way Thanksgiving event at YMCA
Advocate Staff Report
M
ayor Gary Christenson and
Congresswoman Katherine
Clark distributed groceries
to families at the Malden YMCA
during the United Way of Massachusetts
Bay and Merrimack
Valley’s 23rd Annual Thanksgiving
Project. The United Way is
providing meals to 20,000 families
across 24 distribution sites in
21 communities in Eastern Massachusetts.
Packages of Thanksgiving
meal essentials were distributed
to families in need.
Families received a reusable grocery
bag fi lled with turkey stuff -
ing, potatoes, cornbread, rice,
black beans, canned peas, green
beans, onions and canned corn.
Families also received a disposable
turkey pan and either a turkey
or a grocery gift card in their
bags to purchase a turkey, depending
on the distribution site.
Since 1999, the United Way
has distributed Thanksgiving
groceries to families in Greater
Boston. As the region emerges
from the pandemic, families
continue to face economic
challenges, including rising
prices for essential items, including
groceries. According to the
American Farm Bureau’s annual
survey, the average cost of
Thanksgiving dinner this year is
the highest on record, up 20%
from last year.
“I’m truly grateful to the United
Way for ensuring that all enjoy
a homecooked holiday meal
with their families,” said Mayor
Christenson.

Paul Donato
State Representative
of Environmental Protection
(MassDEP) awarded the City of
Malden $49,000 through their
Sustainable Materials Recovery
Program (SMRP). The city may
use SMRP grant funding to improve
local recycling, composting,
reuse and household hazardous
waste diversion programs.
The
SMRP has awarded more
than $50 million in grants since
the program’s creation in 2010.
New to the program this year,
grantees were encouraged to
consider Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion (DEI) in their trash and
recycling programs.
“I’m pleased to see Malden receiving
this state grant to help
support the community’s recycling
and waste reduction efforts,”
said Senator Lewis. “As the
co-founder and Senate Chair of
the state legislature’s Zero Waste
Caucus, I’m committed to doing
everything we can to support
eff orts at the local and state levels
to reduce solid waste, espeKate

cially single-use plastics that are
harming our environment and
public health.”
“The Recycling Dividends
Program is another great step
that Malden is taking to create
a more sustainable community,”
said Representative Donato.
“Finding innovative solutions
to fi ght waste is vital to
ensuring our planet’s future
and it was a pleasure to work
with my Malden colleagues on
this funding.”
“I’m pleased to see Malden receive
state funds to maximize recycling,
composting, and waste
reduction programs,” said Representative
Lipper-Garabedian. “I
am confi dent that these funds
will go a long way in promoting
sustainability as we continue
to look for ways to navigate
the climate crisis.”
“This program off ers crucial
funding for cities across the
Commonwealth to support
and encourage recycling, composting
and waste reduction

initiatives,” said Representative
Ultrino. “I am honored to have
worked with my colleagues in
the legislature to secure this investment
for our community,
residents and small business
owners to help them transition
to sustainable recycling practices
and protect our state’s natural
resources.”
“These funds continue to be
an essential resource in our
eff orts to make Malden more
environmentally responsible
when it comes to waste reduction
and recycling,” said Mayor
Christenson. “These funds
have been used for recycling
education, resident communications,
special recycling efforts
as well as much needed
resources for being able to
adapt to constantly changing
regulations, we’ve been able
to make signifi cant progress.
I encourage our lawmakers as
well as MassDEP to keep this
program at the top of their priority
list.”

rowing up in Malden was
special. At times I thought
our childhood experiences were
probably not much different
than those of our neighbors to
the north, south or wherever.
Upon further refl ection, I concluded
that growing up in Malden
was indeed an awesome
and unique time and place to
spend my childhood.
The way Malden is laid out
lends to its uniqueness. How
some neighborhoods were defi
ned by the ethnicity of its residents
lent to that uniqueness.
According to political consultant/MHS
Alumni Hall of Famer
Michael Goldman: “Malden
was a hodgepodge of neighborhoods
in the 1960’s. Edgeworth
was Italian on one side of Highland
Ave and Irish on the other.
Highland Ave where BOTH
the Irish who came to Malden
directly from Ireland as well as
the Irish who spent time in Canada
before emigrating down to
America ...two distinct neighborhoods.
Suff olk Square (before
‘slum clearance’ in the late
50’s) was Jewish and Black with
smaller areas of Irish and Italians.
Downtown Malden (always
called ‘The Square’) were the remaining
Protestants and Yankees.
The West End was mixed
(money drove the demographics/single
and two-family homeowners)
with some Swedes/Polish/Lithuanians
scattered in with
Italian and Irish. Ward 1, including
Main St/Cross St/Belmont
School, were Irish and a smattering
of Jews. Oak Grove/Hawthorne
St/Lebanon School were
professional people with higher
income brackets than most in
Malden. Maplewood consisted
of working blue collar people.”
I just loved growing up in Malden!
Neighborhoods were often
defined by the park that
was central to the location. The

This is the original Devir Park sign that greeted Maldonians 100
years ago.
Green Street Park gang were
good old boys. Same with the
Oak Grove/Patchell Park hooligans.
The Amerige Park boyos
with the amazing amount of
hoop players (and card players)
it produced. There were
the Edgeworth/Pearl Street/
Whitman & Highland crews,
with “The Bakery” being the focal
point. Newland Street, Devir
Park, Harvard Street Park,
Lincoln Park, Belmont, Maplewood
Square, Judson Square,
Forestdale and the Vista Street
gang, the Linden Square (Robinson’s
News)/Linden Park crowd;
Trafton Park had its characters
– as well as Ferryway Park.
Coytemore Lea Park was special.
Suff olk Square was mostly
gone growing up, but their
past was alive and well. The
“Rez” was a go-to place. Cannot
forget Waites Mount! I haven’t
even touched on Malden
Square – the Signor Pizza crowd,
the Brigham’s crowd, the Park
Street crowd (where the saying
was “What goes on at Park
Street stays on Park Street”) and
on and on.
I also fi rmly believe that the
fact that we were all crowded
together within (less than) fi ve
square miles made us all, for
the most part, anyway, friends.
Of course, the occasional fl are
up would occur, but mostly we
saved that for our archenemies
next door – “Medfi d.” Turns out,
some of the best people I ever
met came from Meff a (the folly
of youth)! Point being, I don’t
remember much hatred going
around but I do recall a tightknit
community.
Speaking of Malden’s storied
past, the question “Where
has the Malden of our youth
gone?” is thrown around at various
cocktail parties in Malden.
This is a nebulous question, possibly
meant rhetorically – nevertheless
I am going to attempt
to give my spin on this age-old
question and how it pertains to
us longtime Maldonians in present
day Malden.
Before I begin, I must say, without
hesitation, that I love Malden
of 2022. I am a fi rm believer
that we are living in the best of
times. Three successive administrations
with innovative, highly
progressive leaders (Ed Lucey,
Richard Howard and Gary Christenson)
have transformed Malden
into one of the more desirable
locations to raise a family
and to grow old. Anywhere.
With that said, the Malden of
my youth...
• was fi lled with Little League
and Babe Ruth League coaches
that were fully invested, fully engaged
and lifelong role models
• had two movie theaters within
walking distance of each other
•
had educators that cared,
who thought “outside the box”
and were part of the community
• had Donnie Brunelli
• had athletic coaches that
pushed you to be better, who
showed you the fundamentals
and took a vested interest in
your abilities
• like Mr. Grimes, Mr. Pitts, Mr.
Patrie, Mr. Covelle, Mr. Adorn
and a just back from the Vietnam
War Johnny Marsinelli
• had an Italian Feast every
second weekend in August on
Pearl Street since the beginning
of time (and still do)
• had neighborhood restaurants
and pubs where they
knew your name and what you
drank, and knew what your parents
drank also
• had a downtown that was
safe, accessible, full of life and
still quaint
• had neighborhoods with
distinctive characteristics and
characters – with locals marking
their territory as the previous
generation before them

“It has become clear that

impact on student learning,
the mental health of both
students and teachers, and the
said Representative Peisch.
“Yesterday’s hearing was an
important step in getting a
sense of where K-12 education
in Massachusetts public
schools currently stands, as
well as gathering information
on what resources and policies
might be needed at the state
level to continue addressing
the diverse needs of students
and educators as we emerge
from a period of interrupted
learning. I would like to thank
my co-chair, Senator Lewis,
for his partnership in this effort,
as well as Speaker Mariano

that next year’s residential tax
rate will be $12.19 per $1,000
of value, down from $12.35 in
2022. However, it’s important
to note that tax bills are determined
more by the assessed
value of a property rather than
the tax rate. And property values
have been on the rise. According
to Cramer’s numbers,
the value of an average residential
property in Malden is
$689,480. The value of the average
commercial property in
the city is $1,387,939. The new
tax rate for commercial property

this week to approve its 30
percent residential tax exemption
for owner-occupied properties,
which is a signifi cant benefi
t to residential property owners,
particularly in times of economic
stress.
In his presentation, Cramer
outlined the eff ect of the residential
exemption. The tax bill
for the average single-family
property in Malden at next

$8,408 without the exemption.
But the exemption cut that cost
by $195,592, leaving residential
property owners with a tax bill

TDM Church receives $6,500 grant
to expand local hunger relief efforts
Project Bread awards project-based grants to
community organizations statewide
F
ood insecurity rose drastically
during the pandemic
and has yet to decline to
pre-pandemic rates as one in
six households – and one in
fi ve households with children
– across the Commonwealth
struggle with having enough
to eat, disproportionately impacting
Black, Indigenous and
People of Color (BIPOC) families.
Community-based organizations,
such as TDM Church,
have been a critical and steadfast
resource, providing a wide
variety of food access points for
residents. To further local hunger
relief eff orts in Malden, the
nonprofi t has received a $6,500
project-based grant from Project
Bread.
TDM Church is one of 28 nonprofits
to receive unrestricted
funds from Project Bread,
a statewide anti-hunger organization.
Since 2021, Project
Bread has granted over
$680,000 to nonprofi ts to support
communities hit hardest
by COVID-19 and ongoing economic
challenges, including
Brockton, East Boston, Everett,
Fitchburg, Holyoke, Lawrence,
Lynn, Lowell, Malden, Mattapan,
New Bedford, Quincy,
Randolph and Worcester. This
fall, Project Bread launched the
Pathways to Change grant, distributing
an additional $58,500
to TDM Church and eight other
nonprofi ts in the same communities
to recognize and support
their work to address food
insecurity and the underlying
economic and racial inequities
that contribute to it.
With this project-based funding,
Project Bread aims to support
the creation of spaces for
community conversations and
engagement around food access
that will strengthen relationships
between individuals
and food programs, support
collaboration and achieve positive
social change. The funds
can be used to pay for community
facilitators, art supplies,
compensation for conversation
participants, and other activity-related
expenses.
“Connecting people with
sustainable solutions not only
brings immediate relief but
also provides agency and empowers
people in the long
term. We learned that solutions
must come from the people
closest to the problem,”
said Project Bread’s Director of
Community Partnerships, Adriana
Mendes-Sheldon. “We continue
to learn from and invest
in our community partners because
of their strength in creating
local, sustainable solutions.
Supporting our community
partners, like TDM Church,
is one of our key strategies for
ending hunger statewide.”
In Malden, TDM Church is using
the Pathways to Change
grant to launch the BELONG
Project, a new initiative focused
on encouraging people
to connect with each other and
receive information that improves
their living conditions,
reaching every area of their
lives. The target is to promote
conversations and connection
with the immigrant community
and off er solutions for improving
well-being and safety
through meetings, dinners,

“Our aim with the BELONG
Project is to promote social
engagement within the immigrant
community and off er an
open environment for discussions
and learnings to empower
individuals and families to
prevent food insecurity in that
community,” said the BELONG
Project’s Executive Director,
Sara Teixeira. “As a Christian institution,
we believe our mission
is to be relevant and impact
our community using all
our resources to build a better
world. Letting our lights shine
is about making a diff erence in
others’ lives, and our mission is
to manifest the love of God in
every available way.”
Since before the pandemic,
Project Bread has been leading
Massachusetts’s response
to an ongoing hunger crisis
that aff ects thousands of residents
statewide, such as supporting
school and community
meal sites and running the
Commonwealth’s only statewide
hotline that connects residents
with a range of food resources,
from Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP) assistance to information
on food pantry hours and
locations. The nonprofi t works
closely with legislators and other
elected offi cials as well as in
partnership with government
agencies, including the Massachusetts
Department of Elementary
and Secondary Education
and the Department
of Transitional Assistance, to
increase access to and participation
in federal nutrition programs,
such as SNAP and free
school meals.
People experiencing food
insecurity should call Project
Bread’s toll-free FoodSource
Hotline (1-800-645-8333),
which provides confi dential assistance
to connect with food
resources, including SNAP benefi
ts, in 180 languages and for

new apartments. Nine assisted
living shared suites were also
added, and more than 100 of
the community’s apartments
received updates. Other enhancements
include an added
event space and fitness center,
new carpet, paint, furniture
and artwork in common spaces,
and more energy efficient
building systems.
The public is invited to come
see the enhancements during
a grand opening celebration
on Thursday, December 8. The
festivities will include refreshments,
live entertainment from
saxophonist Brian Kane and
community tours from 5 to 7
pm. A ribbon-cutting ceremony
with Malden Mayor Gary
Christenson will take place at
6:15 pm.
Originally built in 1905 as a
grammar school, the building
was home to Marcia P. Browne
Junior High School for many decades
before closing in the early
1990s. The building retains
much of its historic charm with
its preserved façade, large windows,
high ceilings, extra-wide
hallways and grand staircase.
“The transition of Atria Maplewood
Place to the Holiday by
Atria brand helps us better serve
the senior population in Malden
and continue delivering trusted,
quality care,” said Holiday’s Chief
Operating Officer Mike Mejia.
“For example, a unique feature is
a central community room used
for both dining and daily events.
Residents use this space to gathOur

er and develop a deeper sense
of community.”
Just north of Boston in Malden,
Holiday Maplewood Place
offers independent living, assisted
living and memory care
services. The rebranding makes
the community the first to offer
memory care services under
the Holiday by Atria brand. With
Atria’s decades of experience
serving seniors with dementia,
every aspect of the memory
care neighborhood has been
thoughtfully designed to best
serve residents – from the types
of activities offered to the physical
layout.
“We know remaining connected
to others and the local
community in meaningful ways
is essential to the well-being of
older adults,” said Scott Johnson,
Regional Vice President at Holiday
by Atria. “Holiday Maplewood
Place is a beautiful community
where residents come
together and enjoy exceptional
service and amenities.”
Holiday operates more than
200 communities in the U.S. –
from the East Coast to Hawaii –
and already has a strong footprint
in Massachusetts with locations
in Agawam, Chelmsford,
East Longmeadow and Lenox.
Holiday Maplewood Place continues
to be a part of the Atria
family, which means the community
will deliver the same employee
training standards paired
with a strong regional and divisional
support infrastructure
– all backed by Atria’s industry-leading
quality standards.

Quaker Lane acquires $24.45MM
Malden industrial property
COST BASIS OF
INHERITED PROPERTY
T
he cost basis of property
acquired from a decedent
is equal to the fair market value
of such property at the time
of the decedent’s death. This
is pursuant to Internal Revenue
Code (IRC) Section 1014(a)
(1). This is referred to as the
step up in cost basis. If real estate
valued at $500,000 is devised
pursuant to an individual’s
Last Will and Testament or
pursuant to the terms of a living
Trust, the recipient of this
real estate receives the benefi
t of a cost basis equal to the
$500,000. It's a new starting
point. It’s as if the benefi ciary of
the Will or Trust paid $500,000
for the real estate. If the real estate
is sold shortly thereafter
for $500,000, no capital gains
tax will have to be paid. If the
property were sold two years
later for $600,000, the capital
gain to be reported would only
be $100,000.
It is therefore very important
to take into consideration
the value of this step up in
cost basis when creating an
estate plan. Capital gains taxes
can be as high as 23.8% federal
and 5% Mass. With the new
Millionaires tax in Massachusetts,
some capital gains could
be taxed at an additional 4%
rate. Once taxable income exceeds
$1,000,000, the excess
income is taxed at a rate of 9%.
The capital gain could actually
push you over the $1,000,000
of income. Consequently, it is
even more important to take
advantage of the step up in
cost basis in order to eliminate
or minimize the actual capital
gain itself.
If appreciated real estate or
stocks are simply given to your
children outright, the cost basis
in the hands of your children
would be your cost basis.
This is referred to as a carryover
basis. You would look
to what you originally paid
for the real estate or stock, improvements
to the real estate,
depreciation taken if rental
property, etc., in order to determine
cost basis. Outright
gifts like this do not make
much sense in the vast majority
of cases. It would be better
to place the property in a living
Trust in order to avoid probate,
obtain the step up in cost
basis, provide for estate tax
savings and possibly protect
against a nursing home if that
is one of the objectives.
Generally, the capital gains
tax savings to the children
upon a future sale of appreciated
real estate or stock far
outweighs the negative of
having to pay a Massachusetts
estate tax due to the
real estate and stock being included
in the decedent’s taxable
estate. As an example, a
$5,500,000 taxable estate consisting
of appreciated real estate
and stock would cost approximately
$460,000 in Massachusetts
estate taxes. If the
original cost basis of the real
estate was only $500,000 because
the property was purchased
50 years ago and/or fully
depreciated (if rental property),
the capital gains tax savings
would approximate $1.425million.
The net savings to the children
would be $965,000. There
would be no federal estate tax
as the current federal exemption
is over $12million.
Keep in mind that under
IRC Section 1223(9), the holding
period for assets received
from a decedent shall be considered
to be more than one
year, even though the assets
may have been sold by the
beneficiary within one year
from the date of death. Pursuant
to IRC Section 1223(2), the
holding period of the person
making an outright gift plus
the holding period of the recipient
of the gift is added together
in order to determine
if a short-term (less than one
year) or long-term (more than
one year) capital gain would
be recognized upon a subsequent
sale.

GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE ROUNDUP:
Everett, Malden & Revere Boys Basketball tip off
tonight in Inaugural Ron Bennett Jamboree in Lynn
By Steve Freker
T
he new varsity rosters are still
“hot off the press” as 12 local
boys basketball teams hit the
hardwood tonight for their fi rst
scrimmage action. And it will be
a doozy!
It’s the fi rst-ever Ron Bennett
Boys Basketball Jamboree and it
begins at 4:00 p.m. at Lynn English
High School (LEHS), former
41-year coaching home for
Bennett, who is the winningest
high school coach in the history
of the city of Lynn. Coach
Bennett was the boys’ basketball
head coach at Lynn English
from 1965-2013 and the baseball
head coach at LEHS from
1975-2013. In 41 years steering
the two major Bulldog sports
seasons, he rang up over 800
coaching wins.
With two other like-minded
preseason jamboree events
having come and gone in Lynn,
Lynn English Athletic Director
Dick Newton brought this type
of event back this year, this time
honoring his own former coach.
Newton was a standout for English
in the late 1970s and early
1980s in both sports under
Coach Bennett. “We wanted to
bring it back in his name,” NewThe
late former Lynn English
boys’ basketball and baseball
Head Coach Ron Bennett
coached 41 years until 2013 at
age 75. He passed away at 80
in 2018.
ton said, “I’m lucky I am in a position
to honor him. He did so
much for the school and the
kids.”
The jamboree includes six
games, each 45 minutes after
the previous game, with the fi rst
beginning at 4 p.m. The scrimmage
games will consist of two
eight-minute quarters. Competing
in this inaugural event will
be 12 teams in all, including seven
of the eight Greater Boston
League (GBL) varsity teams, including
host Lynn English. Three
Advocate readership teams – Everett,
Malden and Revere – will
be competing tonight, along
with three other GBLers: Chelsea,
Lynn Classical, Somerville.
KIPP Academy, Lynn Tech and
Wakefi eld round out the even
dozen dusting it up at Lynn English
High tonight.
Locally, Coach David Leary’s
Revere High Patriots will open
the event by taking on the Chelsea
Red Devil boys at 4:00 p.m.
Everett will take on Wakefi eld
at 5:30 p.m., and Head Coach
Don Nally’s Malden High Golden
Tornados play Lynn Tech at
6:15 p.m.Following is the full
schedule at Lynn English High
School tonight: Chelsea vs. Revere
(4 p.m.), KIPP vs. Somerville
(4:45 p.m.), Everett vs. Wakefi eld
(5:30 p.m.), Lynn Tech vs. Malden
(6:15), Lynn Classical vs. Melrose
(7 p.m.), Lynn English vs. East
Boston (7:45 p.m.).
***
Coach Nally, Malden
High boys looking
forward to tonight’s
Bennett Jamboree
The longest-serving boys basketball
head coach in Malden
High school history says he’s
been looking forward to the
start of this season a bit more
than most – for a lot of reasons.
“We had some big-time injuries
last year which really left us
shorthanded on a lot of nights,”
said Coach Nally, who embarked
on his 21st season at the helm
for Malden on Monday, referring
to the forgettable, 1-19 campaign
last winter.
The Malden coach said this
year’s group is a mix between
seasoned veterans and talented
newcomers. A big piece of
the puzzle this season is the return
of 6-4 senior Jonald Joseph,
who missed all of the 2021-22
season with a microfracture in
his back, an injury more common
to college and NBA players.
Joseph and senior classmate
Justin Bell, a 5-10 shooting
guard, are the two key guys
back for Malden.
Nally said there are still lots of
question marks, but he and his
players are looking forward to
participating in tonight’s event
– a little slice of real-time varsity
competition in anticipation of
the actual real deal.
After tonight’s jamboree
game, Malden is back in scrimmage
action next Thursday, December
8 at home at 4:00 p.m.
The Golden Tornados boys open
for real on Tuesday, December
13 at the Finn Gym versus nextdoor
Greater Boston League rival
Medford (6:00 p.m. tipoff ).

vote on legalized sports betting,
very soon, in the Commonwealth.
But can you imagine
what the odds would have been
– and the haul that followed – if
someone dropped some coin
down the street at Encore on
this proposition: “Malden will
run the opening kickoff back for
a touchdown against Medford
for the second straight year in
the Thanksgiving game...”
That indeed is how it played
out last Tuesday when Malden
High sophomore running back
Kervenson “Kevin” “Excel” Exilhomme
ran back the opening
kickoff 95 yards for a Golden
Tornados touchdown to send
the many Malden fans in the
Fenway Park crowd into a frenzy.

Apparently, whatever magic
had caused the exact same
start to last year’s Malden win
(12-10 over Medford in Game
#134) had wafted into “America’s
Oldest Ballpark” and gave
Malden another whiff of it. Last
year, at Macdonald Stadium in
Malden, the same electrifying
game starter happened when
then sophomore Davian McGuffi
e took a kickoff at his own 19yard
line and raced up the right
sideline untouched for a Golden
Tornados touchdown.

– Malden-Medford Game...
check.
– Game-opening kickoff return...
check
– Sophomore kick returner....
check
– Sprinting all the way up the
right sideline for a touchdown...
check, again!
Outrageous!
There’s no question this has
never happened before in backto-back
years in this ancient series.
No way.
Of course, the whole play almost
ended in utter disaster
for Malden – not jubilant celGRAND-SLAM

ebration. Medford kicker Matt
Wright – who’s got quite a leg
on him – boomed the opening
kickoff in the air to about the
Malden 20-yard line. It took a
bounce or two and made Exilhomme
double back to about
the Malden 4-yard line. He
picked it up... but then dropped
it and began to squirt away
as the Medford kick coverage
team swarmed to him. Miraculously
for Malden, just as Exilhomme
appeared to be getting
knocked over like a bowling pin,
he scooped the ball, made one
juke and began racing up the
right sideline, right in front of
the team benches. Since just
about the entire Medford team
had converged on Exilhomme
before he declined “sitting
duck” status back at the 4-yard
line, there was nothing ahead
of him but wide-open Fenway
Park left field grass. Ninety-five
yards later, he was in the
end zone, and Malden had remarkably
duplicated its fantastic
game-opening play from a
year earlier.
“Once I had the ball safe under
arm and I saw an opening,
I just ran as fast as I could,” Exilhomme,
who has started every
game on both offense and defense
this year, recalled. “When I
saw no one in front of me, I just
ran a little harder to get to the
end zone. I knew I could score
and I did.”
At a couple of points on his
lengthy, 95-yard jaunt, Exilhomme
himself appeared to have a
bit of disbelief, as in just about
every photo that was published
of him after the game, his head
seems to be on a swivel, looking
behind to see if anyone was
gaining on him. No one was.
The opening fireworks was
just the precursor to the career
game Exilhomme would go on
to have, as he would tack on two
more touchdowns and lead the
game in rushing (29 carries, 81
yards). His contribution to the
Malden ground game was the
foundation for the Golden Tornados’
gameplan. He also was
a key “hot” receiver for sophomore
classmate and quarterback
Aidan Brett, who dumped
off to him three times for what
turned out to be drive-continuing
receptions, all three of them
on third down.
For any college recruiters in
the house that night, it was a
bit of a coming out party for Exilhomme,
a lanky, 6-2, 195 running
back/linebacker who just
recently turned 16 years old. Just
a sophomore, the learning curve
has a way to go for him and his
teammates on the youth-driven
Golden Tornados; he sure had
an awfully big head start.
Exilhomme’s head coach, second-year
Top Tornado Witche
Exilhomme, who starred for Malden
a decade-plus ago, happens
to be Kevin’s older brother. The
Malden football boss, who also
was a standout at American International
College (AIC) from
2013-2016 and had some professional
football looks, admits
he’s a “hard marker” when it
comes to evaluating his younger
brother Kevin. But even he
was able to give a solid “thumbs
up” after Tuesday’s win.
“I’m very, very happy for him
[Kevin] and I’ll never tell him
that,” said Coach Witche, with a
smile. “He’s having a very good
year and he’s going to shatter
my records.”
“For him to come out here,
play tough, take this personal,
clock in when we needed him,
that’s very big. I’m very happy
for him,” the Malden coach added.
“I’m happy for his future, and
I’m just fortunate and blessed
to be a part of it and witness it
from the sideline, not from the
stands.”
The way it looks right now,
Kevin Exilhomme may have left
more than the sophomore jitters
in the rear-view mirror on
his historic kickoff return TD, and
it looks like smooth sailing with
some great experience gained
as the 2023 and 2024 seasons

“We are also very pleased
that our players stepped up to
the challenge and followed the
game plan so well,” the Malden
second-year coach added.
“It was very important to us
to play a solid game and get
this win because we knew how
many fans and Malden High
alumni, former players and other
supporters would be here
with us tonight,” Coach Exilhomme
said. “They all deserve to see

us play our best.”
Malden erased the slightest
of doubt that the Golden Tornados
had come to play – and play
well – on the very first play of the
entire game, when sophomore
running back Kervenson “Kevin”
Exilhomme, younger brother
of the coach, took the opening
kickoff all the way back up
the right sideline 95 yards for a
touchdown and a 6-0 lead.

straight year that the game had
begun in this identical fashion.
Medford blocked the Malden PAT
attempt that followed, but this
ended up being perhaps the only
play that did not go Malden’s way
for the rest of the first half.
On the Mustangs’ first offenTornado

sive play of the game, about
seven seconds after the kickoff
return TD, Malden safety Felix
Da Costa made it a “scoop-andscore”
when Medford fumbled
at about midfield after a short
run. Da Costa, a junior and one
of Malden’s top impact players
on defense all year, scooped the
fumble in the middle of a crowd
and raced 46 yards, weaving
twice to avoid potential tacklers,
and made it to the end zone for
a 12-0 lead for Malden. (Da Costa,
who scored four TDs this season
defensively on three fumble
returns for TDs and a “Pick Six”
interception for a touchdown,
added a key pass interception
in Malden territory in the second
half to stop a Medford drive
in the midst of a Mustang comeback
attempt.) The Malden High
supporters in the large crowd of
close to 4,000 erupted in delirious
cheers. Senior captain Kyle
Paulding rumbled in for the twopoint
conversion and a 14-0 lead.
The rest of the first half for
Malden’s wide receiver by Kyle Paulding has his eye on the ball
during last week’s action against Medford.
Malden was simple: Game plan,
game plan, game plan.
The Tornados swore by the
“Run First, Pass if You Must” all
the rest of the way, eating game
clock and letting the much bigger
Malden offensive line clear
the way for Kevin Exilhomme
off-tackle or on-counter runs, or
junior slot receivers Davian McGuffie
or Alex Avalos on againstthe-grain
sweeps off handoffs.
“We wanted to establish the
running game and keep possession
of the ball,” Coach Exilhomme
said. “That was what we [Exilhomme
and Offensive Coordinator
Anthony Pappagallo] decided.
We stuck with it, and it
worked in our favor.”
The end result was 122 yards
rushing for Malden to under 70
yards for Medford, no Malden
turnovers and, most importantly,
the Tornados win.
To the Medford defensive unit’s
credit, the Mustangs also came to
play that night at Fenway.
Malden built a 22-0
lead at halftime
For the remainder of the first
half, Malden played possession-ball
a lot of the way, scoring
once more early in the second
quarter, after junior linebacker
Karl Lange caused and recovered
a fumble for Malden, setting up a
short field goal for the blue and
gold offense at the Medford 27yard
line. Seven plays later Malden
was in the end zone again,
and Kevin Exilhomme had his
second of three TDs for the
game, a three-yard run over right
tackle for a 20-0 Malden lead.
Paulding took a pop pass from
Malden sophomore quarterback
Aidan Brett over the left side for a
commanding, 22-0 Malden lead
with 8:17 left in the first half. Malden
would threaten again late in
the half, but Medford’s defense
stood tall and kept the Tornados
out of the end zone, with a Tornados
drive stalling at the Medford
7-yard line.
Maybe this near-goal line
stand pumped some air back
into Medford’s tires for the second
half, as the Mustangs stole
a page out of the Malden songbook
and started the second
half the same way Malden had
started the game. Senior running
back Stevens Exateur took
a squibbed kickoff off the foot
of Malden’s Brett at the Medford
38-yard line and hightailed to

lie down, cuts lead
with two TDs
This time it was the Medford
fans’ turn to explode as Exateur
found a seam and exploited it,
zigging once toward the center
of the field and then outrunning
everyone for a 62-yard kickoff return
touchdown. Matt Wright’s
PAT kick made it 22-7, Malden
just seconds into Half Number
Two. Let the Medford comeback
begin! After Medford’s “D”
answered by holding Malden to
a three-and-out, the “Hey, wait a
minute...” rumblings began in the
stands and on the sideline.
Later in the quarter, after
some sleepy Malden offense
and some livelier responses by
the Mustang offense later on,
the Medford comeback became
100% official. On the first play
of the fourth quarter, after Brett
was forced to punt from his own
end zone and gave Medford the
ball at the 31-yard line, Mustang
Luiz Barbosa broke free on what
looked like a simple off-tackle
run and sprinted 29 yards for a
Medford touchdown. Dom Rizzo’s
two-point conversion run
made it 22-15, and any thoughts
of an easy road to this win for
Malden evaporated into the
cool but seasonal Fenway air.
“They [Medford] had played
us even for a good part of the
first half and then were hanging
in there in the third quarter,”
said Coach Exilhomme. “It was
up to us to take back control
of the game. Our offensive line
and our defense had gotten us
the lead early; we needed those
guys to step up again.”
Step up, they did. The defense
caused another fumble on Medford’s
next possession, again by
Karl Lange. But Malden went out
quickly on three runs and a couple
of penalties.
“Da Costa Time”
again with a key
pass interception
Two plays later, it was “Da
Costa Time” again as Malden’s
junior safety picked off a pass
for his second turnover of the
day against Medford and gave
Malden another boost. Malden
switched it up on this drive, with
Brett (12-of-21, 124 yards, 1 TD,
O INT) hitting three different receivers:
McGuffie for 12, Paulding
twice for 17 and then a big
one, 6-5 junior Gabriel Vargas
Cardoso for a 28-yard completion
to the Medford 4-yard line
to set Malden up at first-andgoal.
After a penalty and another
run play, Kevin Exilhomme
scored his third touchdown
of the game, a counter run over
the left side for a 28-15 lead.
Malden’s defense amped it
up the rest of the way, led by
McGuffie at cornerback, who
came up with several big stops
despite being hampered by
an ankle he banged up on the
very first series of the game, and
sophomores Matheus Brito and
captain James Hyppolite at linebacker,
both of whom played
standout defense. Brito had his
best game of the season with
five tackles, one of them a sack,
in the second half alone.
With Malden clearly in command,
another Medford turnover
(four on the game) led to
one of the most entertaining
plays of the game. Malden defensive
lineman Joey Fils, the
Malden defenders were all over the Medford
offense as Tornado Matt Brito wraps up a
Medford player for a fumble.
6-0, 285 tackle, who also had a
great game at Fenway – and a
superb season overall anchoring
the line both ways – recovered
a Medford fumble at midfield.
Malden went back, and after
a couple of Exilhomme runs
and a key third down-and-7,
Brett-to-Vargas Cardoso completion
on a slant pattern from
the left side for 13 yards, Malden
got back into the red zone.
Some Brett-to-McGuffie
“Razzle Dazzle” for a TD
Two plays later, Malden’s Brett
ushered some good old-fashioned
“Razzle Dazzle” into the
game when he handed off to
Exilhomme, who in turn handed
off a reverse to Avalos, who then
completed a “Flea Flicker” toss
back to the QB. Brett escaped
one tackle attempt and scrambled
to nearly the right sideline
before catching sight of a wideopen
Mcguffie in the end zone.
From a near-impossible angle,
Brett fired a sidearm missile that
nearly went more than six feet
off the ground, right to Mcguffie’s
cradling arms for a 15-yard
touchdown and a 34-15 lead
with under five minutes to play.
Medford’s last possession fell
short, and Malden’s coaches
showed why this is customarily a
classy series when the Golden Tornados
drove all the way inside the
Mustang 5-yard line but elected to
take the Victory Formation knee
instead of trying to score again. All
that was left was the handshake
right around the outskirts of Red
Sox outfield and the Malden captains
drenching Coach Exilhomme
with the victory “bath.”
What a night in Fenway! Memories
forever for Malden players,
coaches, fans and alumni.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 2, 2022
The Advocate ranks the Top Ten Most Memorable
Malden-Medford Thanksgiving Games of All-Time
By Steve Freker
T
he Advocate has researched
the extensive Malden-Medford
Thanksgiving Day history
and compiled a list of what
we think are the TOP 10 MOST
MEMORABLE GAMES of all
time.
#10 – MALDEN 42, MEDFORD
15 (November 26, 1974): Malden
routs Medford, 42-15, at Pearl
Street Stadium for second-year
Head Coach Paul Finn’s first Turkey
Day win of his 26-year career
and a share of the first Greater
Boston League title since
1969. Golden Tornados Co-Captain
Jeff Sullivan rushed for 130
yards and scored two touchdowns;
John Stanasek passed
for two TDs and four conversion
points; John Ruelle had a
touchdown and a two-point
conversion; Mark Burns, Paul
Coleman and junior Steve DeFilippis
scored TDs; Steve Carlan
netted a two-point conversion;
and Shawn Brickman
kicked two PATs. All-Scholastic
Co-Captain Jack Freker and defensive
backs Steve Carpenter
and Charlie Russell led the Malden
defense.
TIE @ #9 – MALDEN 59, MEDFORD
36 (November 26, 2015):
They went out to a high school
football contest, and a Madden
NFL Game broke out. Scoring
was fast and furious in this as
Malden rolled to a 59-36 win, in
the highest-scoring game in series
history. The win was significant
in that it clinched the Tornados’
first GBL Championship
since 1988, breaking a 27-year
title drought. The Exilhomme
Brothers, Danley and DJ, both
of whom went on to star at Central
Connecticut State University,
dominated this one, scoring
six TDs between them. Head
Coach Joe Pappagallo, who had
steered Malden to a dramatic
win over Everett (first time since
1992) two weeks earlier, retired
after seven years at the helm
and a 6-1 coaching record on
Thanksgiving Day.
and
MALDEN 34, MEDFORD 15
(November 22, 2022): This is
only one of two games in this
compilation where the Malden
win over Medford did not
end in either an undefeated
Malden season, a Greater Boston
League Championship – or
both. But hey, let’s face it, they
played the game at “Friendly

Fenway,” for Game #135 in the
most iconic baseball park in
the world – and Malden won!
The stars of the game were
sophomore running back Kevin
Exilhomme and junior safety
Felix Da Costa. Exilhomme,
brother of second-year Malden
Head Coach Witche Exilhomme,
scored 3 touchdowns on 29 carries
for 81 yards – including a 95yard
kickoff return touchdown
to open the game. Da Costa returned
his third fumble for TD of
the season and also had a key
interception to stop a Medford
drive when the game got close
in the 4th quarter, Malden’s 7th
straight Turkey Day win tied a
series streak record.
#8 – MALDEN 26, MEDFORD
6 (November 27, 1969): In a
scene out of a movie script, senior
co-captain Dave Moulton,
sidelined with 60 stitches in his
head after an automobile accident
the night before the game,
comes off the bench in the second
half and scores two touchdowns
to lead Malden to a 26-6
win over Medford – and earn a
share the GBL title with Quincy.
Malden had trailed, 6-0, at
the half, with Moulton relegated
to the sidelines in street
clothes. In a scene we assure
you would never be replicated
today, “Moultie” convinced legendary
Malden coach Bill Tighe
to let him on the field, and he led
his team to a win, complete with
bloody bandages at the end of
the game.
#7 – Malden 19, Medford 14
(November 28, 1955): Dom
Fermano was no stranger to
Thanksgiving Day exploits, having
scored twice in a Malden win
over Medford as a star junior
one year previously. In his senior
season, with the game and the
GBL Championship on the line,
Malden trailed, 14-13, with under
three minutes to play. Not
for long. Fermano took a pitch,
found some space and raced
40 yards for a Tornados touchdown,
electrifying the crowd
and giving Malden the winning
points – and the GBL title, with
a 19-14 victory.
#6 – Malden 19, Medford 0
(November 22, 1951): For only
the second time in series history,
both teams came into the
game unbeaten. Malden, at 7-01,
was not in the running for either
a league or Class A State Title.
Medford, at 8-0, would share
the Class A State Championship
and league crown with Weymouth,
if the Mustangs prevailed.
Malden sent the Mustangs
home empty-handed, no
longer unbeaten, with a decisive,
19-0 victory. Malden finished
with its last undefeated
season at 8-0-1, and Weymouth
won the league and Class A titles
by winning its Thanksgiving
game over (get this) Greenfield,
Vermont, clinching a perfect 9-0
finish, its 37th straight win, spanning
four years.
TIE @ #5 – Malden 12, Medford
2 (November 26, 1931): A
12-2 win over Medford finishes
Malden with its second unbeaten
season (9-0-1) and Class
A State Co-Championship in
three years. Touchdowns by
Sam Pashoian and Lloyd Tupper
led the way.
and
Malden 0, Medford 0 (November
28, 1935): Defensive purists
exult! The punting and the leg
of Malden’s “Chuckin” Charlie
O’Rourke, one of the best quarterbacks
to ever wear the Blue
and Gold – not his golden arm
– and that of Medford Captain
Art Wareham dominate in a battle
of lines in a 0-0 scoreless tie,
the second straight in the series
that enables Malden to finish
unbeaten (8-0-1) to win the
Eastern Mass. Class A State title.
#4 – Malden 28, Medford
0 (November 26, 1987): Who
knew that the series would have
the longevity it did possess, all
the way up to 100 games? Malden-Medford
celebrated in
grand style, with commemorative
program books and rings
for all the participants, and
Malden capped one of its best
seasons in school history with
a 28-0 shutout win, its eighth
straight after an Opening Day
loss to Melrose, at breezy Hormel
Stadium. Malden drove to an
undefeated (8-0) Greater Boston
League Championship, its
first in 12 years, and its best record
(9-1) in over 30 years. The
game drew a huge crowd and
national television coverage by
sports commentator Bob Costas.
A pregame pep talk to Malden
by former Tornados legend
Dave Moulton appeared on national
TV that day. Lawrence
Hicks ran for 118 yards and
scored two touchdowns. Bill
Roderick passed for 152 yards,
including a 46-yard toss to Carmine
Cappuccio. Roderick also
scored a TD, and J.P. Kelley had
an interception for Malden.
#3 – MALDEN 6, MEDFORD 0
(November 28, 1929): With both
teams coming into the game
undefeated, an all-time series record
crowd of 18,500 inside the
fence and an estimated 2,000
to 3,000 outside saw Malden
Captain Sam Fishman lead the
Golden Tornados to an unbeaten
season (9-0-1) and a share
of the Eastern Mass. title by returning
a punt 55 yards for the
only score of the game as Medford
(7-1-0) fell by a 6-0 score.
Coming just two weeks after the
Stock Market Crash, which signaled
the start of the Great Depression,
this win lifted football
fans’ spirits.
#2 – MALDEN 35, MEDFORD
0 (November 24, 1910): Six different
players scored as Malden
clinched State and Suburban
League titles with its 13th
straight victory, 35-0. Malden
finished with its best, most
wins, only undefeated, untied
(13-0-0) season in school
history and went on to beat
Providence (R.I.) Tech, 29-8, in
a postseason game at Bryant
Street Park.
#1 – MALDEN 33, MEDFORD
14 (November 25, 1948): Dan
Duggan scored twice and led
Gator bowl–bound Malden to
a 33-14 win, an unbeaten 9-0-1
record and Class A State Championship
in front of a crowd of
12,983 at Municipal Stadium in
Malden. The Golden Tornados
squad, led by legendary Head
Coach Warren McGuirk, would
go on to be crowned “National
Champs” in the Kiwanis charity
game after blanking Robert E.
Lee HS, 14-0, in the Gator Bowl in
Jacksonville, Fla., Malden’s only
football appearance – ever – in
a game of this stature.

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS:
Remembering the late Malden football Head Coach

‘Exilhomme Domination’: Brother duo, Coach Witche and game MVP Kevin, shared spotlight;
Fenway crowd for Malden-Medford game #135 believed to be largest ever in series: over 3,000
By Steve Freker
T
he holidays – Thanksgiving
time, particularly – are special
times for a lot of reasons. One of
them is that they are a time for
reminiscing.
Last Thanksgiving, we mentioned
in this very same “leftovers”
column the fact there
were at least four former Malden
High Head Football Coaches
in attendance at the 2021
holiday rivalry game – maybe
four. We think a fifth, Rich Cullen
(1999-2003), might have been
there, too, but we are not exactly
sure. They included Steve
Freker (2018-2021), Joe Pappagallo
(2007-2015), John Lopresti
(2004-2006) and of course, the
longest-serving football head
coach in school history, Paul
Finn (1972-1998).
Coach Finn was a head coach
in more Thanksgiving Day contests
against archrival Medford
than anyone. He was appointed
as head coach at a young
age, barely out of college at age
25, for the 1972 season, and he
“retired” at a young age as well
– at 51 – an age when many
head coaches of his era were
just beginning their tenures at
the helm.
Coach Finn was not in attendance
at the 135th meeting between
the two teams at Fenway
Park last Tuesday, but he absolutely
would have loved it. An
old-school student-athlete in
his years at Malden High (Class
of 1965), he was a standout for
three sports: football, basketball
and baseball. When the “Impossible
Dream” Red Sox were playing
in 1967, he was a sophomore
at Amherst College, soaking
it all in. Many times, following
his retirement from the Malden
Public Schools as an administrator,
he would stop and catch
an inning or two of our Malden
High baseball team, his alma
mater team, on his daily walk
through Pine Banks Park from
his nearby home, right next to
the field.
We sadly lost Coach Finn this
past winter when tragedy struck
and he passed away suddenly
on February 7, way too young at
age 74. The entire city of Malden
Witche Exilhomme – the second-youngest
ever appointed
to that position last year at age
27 (second to the late Coach
Paul Finn, see above) – and
sophomore running back/linebacker
Kervenson “Kevin” Exilhomme,
15, were the stars of the
show. While Coach Exilhomme,
a 2012 Malden High graduate
(and star of the 2011 Turkey Day
game), was steering his team to
his second consecutive Thanksgiving
Day win – Malden's seventh
Thanksgiving win in a row
over Medford – his brother was
lighting it up on the field.
Kevin Exilhomme scored three
touchdowns, including opening
REMEMBERING COACH FINN: The 135th Thanksgiving Game
versus Medford at Fenway Park was the first one without the late
former longtime Malden High Football Head Coach Paul Finn
in attendance as a spectator, player or coach in over 60 years!
Coach Finn passed away suddenly this past February, but he will
be remembered always.
and the hundreds of players he
coached who had moved away
physically, but never in spirit,
from Tornado-Land, mourned
him deeply. We believe some
members of Coach Finn’s family
were in the stands rooting on
the Tornados in the iconic Fenway
ballpark on Tuesday, and
they remembered him with a
great page in the Golden Tornado
Club–sponsored program/
ad book.

Football Coach and nearly 40

Exilhomme Family puts
its stamp on another
memorable Thanksgiving
Football victory
It is always a rarity when not
one, but two members of the
same family are the targets of
the postgame media, following
a big victory. Usually, if it does
take place, it is perhaps a father-and-son,
Coach and player
scenario.
On Tuesday, November 22,
it was even more unusual: two
brothers from the same family
and both of whom had played
key roles in the 34-15 Malden
High School (4-6) win over Medford
(2-9) in the 135th Meeting
of the two teams, the longest
continuous high school rivalry
in America. Malden Head Coach
EXILHOMME BROS. PUT STAMP
ON GAME: The two Exilhomme
Brothers – sophomore running
back Kevin Exilhomme, who
scored three touchdowns in the
win over Medford at Fenway
Park, and second-year head
coach Witche Exilhomme,
now 2-0 as a head coach,
stopped for a photo with the
Championship Trophy outside
Fenway Park on November 22.

return for a TD just seconds into
the game. He ended up being
the “go-to” man the rest of the
night, carrying the ball a seasonand

years. The younger Exilhomme
also caught three passes for 21

yards and made several tackles
on defense.
Coach Exilhomme became
just the second “former Malden
player who became head coach”
to win his first two Thanksgiving
games, following his immediate
predecessor, Coach Steve Freker,
as Malden won in 2018 (24-22)
and 2019 (29-0). Witche, the second-year
Malden coach, led the
Blue and Gold to a 12-10 win in
Malden last year.
If the Exilhomme name sounds
familiar, it should. The two middle
brothers, both members of
the Class of 2016 – running back
Danley Exilhomme and defensive
back D.J. Exilhomme – both
starred for Malden in their three
upperclassmen football seasons,
from 2013-2015. In 2015,
the two combined to score
nearly all the Malden points in a
wild, “Madden Football-like,” 5935
win over Medford, which set
records in total Malden points
scored (they needed every one
of them – 59!) and total points
scored by both teams: 94. Both
Danley and D.J. went on to have
stellar careers at Division 1 Central
Connecticut State University
(CCSU); D.J. also played one season
at the University of South
Alabama, and each have been
seen on the Malden sidelines at
a game or two this year.

Coach Exilhomme gets
huge honor, presented
“Key to the City” by
Mayor Christenson
Earning the right to hold on
to the Thanksgiving Championship
Trophy for another year
was not the only honor Malden
Head Coach Witche Exilhomme
received after the Game
#135, 34-15 victory. Following
the game, just down the street
from the Ted Williams statue
outside of Fenway Park, Malden
Mayor Gary Christenson hosted
a brief ceremony, surrounded
by Malden High School players,
coaches and supporters. After
some brief words congratulating
Coach Exilhomme for
the big win at historic Fenway
Park, Mayor Christenson announced
he was presenting the
coach with the “Key to the City.”
“I’ve only presented the ‘Key to
the City’ a few times before, but
this is certainly the appropriate
time to honor Coach Witche Exilhomme
and the Malden High
Football Team on such a historic
night and fantastic victory,”
Mayor Christenson, one of Malden
High’s biggest sports fans,
said to those gathered around.
****
Crowd for MaldenMedford
game #135
said to have been
largest ever for Fenway
Thanksgiving Series game
Was that a record? Until
someone tells us differently,
the crowd of over 3,000 at Fenway
for Malden-Medford game
#135 was the largest ever for a
Thanksgiving series game at the
home of the Boston Red Sox. A
week before the game, ticket
pundits at Fenway Park were already
saying the pregame sales
had surpassed any other previous
game. Then, to see the many
Malden-Medford fans packing
the right field/first base side
stands, it made the case for the
biggest attendance.
In case you were wondering,
yes, the Malden fans were the
loudest, especially when they
had the most to cheer about.
****
Getting “streak-y”
around here for
Malden High; seven
straight Thanksgiving
wins ties record
The 34-15 Fenway win made
it seven straight Thanksgiving
wins over Medford for Malden,
from 2015-2023 (no Thanksgiving
game in 2021), which ties
a previous record of another
seven straight wins from 20072013.
Medford won, 38-12, in
snow-covered Macdonald Stadium
in Malden in 2014, between
the two streaks. Malden
has simply dominated since
2002, winning a whopping 18
of 20 games from 2002 to 2022.
Medford’s 17-14 win in 2006, on
an overtime field goal, and the
2014 victory for the Mustangs
are the only highlights for the
Blue and White.
With this year’s win, Malden
moved ahead in the all-time
series with a 69-56 lead. There
have been 10 ties. In 2004, the
ancient series was deadlocked
for the first time since way back,
at 54-54-10. It has been almost
“All Malden” since then.
****
Malden Police provided
police escort; former
standout Tornados threesport
player Sgt. Kelley
was leading the way
The Malden Police Department
graciously supplied a police
escort to and from Fenway
for the game, which was invaluable
in getting there amidst the
rush hour traffic. The ride home
was also tremendous, especially
since Malden came away with
such a memorable victory.
The vehicle was manned by
Sgt. J.P. Kelley, a 1989 Malden
High graduate who played in
two Greater Boston League
(GBL) title-clinching Thanksgiving
Day wins: in 1987 and 1988.
Kelley was a teammate of another
MHS standout from that
era, Ptl. Michael Langston. Also
in the police contingent was Sgt.
Rob O’Brien, though O’Brien attended
high school on the other
side of town at Malden Catholic
(Class of 2001); he is in his
second year as a Malden Public
Schools Resource Officer and
has been an “honorary Tornado”
for some time now.
The Malden Police Honor
Guard bore the Flag and the
colors for the National Anthem,
which opened the evening at
Fenway Park.
****
Bright future for the
young Malden High
Tornados football squad
So, the Malden city motto,
which was adopted during the
administration of sitting Mayor
Gary Christenson, is this: “Strong
Past, Proud Future.”
How about the Malden High
football program – any suggestions?
We’d say this one fits:
“Bright Future, For Sure!” When
was the last time a Malden High
varsity football team started six
sophomores and seven juniors
in its Thanksgiving Game, including
its entire offensive line?
The juniors on Tuesday night
were two-way linemen Karl
Lange (center, nose guard) Jerrell
Calixte (tackle), Joey Fils (tackle),
defensive back Felix Da Costa,
slotbacks Davian Mcguffie and
Alex Avalos and wideout and
co-captain Gabriel Vargas Cardoso.
The sophomores: Kevin Exilhomme
(RB-LB), James Hyppolite
(LB), Earl Fevrier (OG-DL), Matt
Brito (LB), Aidan Brett (QB) and
Chris Rodriguez (OG-DL). That
adds up to 19 of 21 starting positions
returning to the field for
the 2023 season for second-year
Head Coach Witche Exilhomme,
Think he’s excited about that,
especially the way the team finished,
with a resounding win on
Thanksgiving at Fenway Park?
“We as a coaching staff are really
looking forward to what
comes next,” Coach Exilhomme
said. “We relied on a lot of previously
inexperienced players
to start the season, then when
we had injuries to key players
that knocked some of them out
for the year, even more younger
players were called on to provide
big contributions.”
“Yes, the future is very bright
for this team,” the Malden coach
agreed. “We have more than 85
percent of our team returning
for next season and we intend
on being prepared to challenge
for everything.”

EXTRA POINTS: The Malden
FANTASTIC WIN AT FENWAY: The Malden High Football Team and coaches celebrated the big win
over Medford at Fenway Park. (Advocate Photo/Steve Freker)
stands were absolutely loaded
with both former Golden Tornados
football players as well
as longtime supporters... There
were also a lot of Malden Public
Schools educators and administrators
at the game, including
second-year Superintendent Dr.
Ligia Noriega Murphy, who was
on the sidelines for most of the
game... A large contingent of
Malden High School teachers
and administrators were up in
a couple of the skyboxes, many
of them guests of longtime MHS
teacher Pat Laidley, who was the
lucky winner of use of the skybox
in a free raffle hosted by Malden
High Principal Chris Mastrangelo.
“It could not have gone to
a better choice. Pat [Laidley] is
one of the most dedicated educators
we have at Malden High
Schools. She is so committed to
supporting our students and her
colleagues.”... Malden High junior
safety Felix Da Costa firmly
established himself as one of
the top “big play” guys not only
in Thanksgiving history, but for
the season. He led the team in
defensive scores this year with
five, and he had his third fumble
return for a TD at Fenway.
Da Costa also recorded his fifth
pass interception of the season;
two of them went for “Pick Six”
TDs this year. One of the key returnees
for 2023, no doubt...
Malden junior co-captain, 6-5
wideout Gabriel Vargas Cardoso
had two of the biggest offensive
plays of the night: a big
21-yard pickup on a crucial drive
and 4th-down-and-5 situation
with Medford knocking on the
door, down just 22-14, early in
the fourth quarter, and then a
25-yard catch where it went to
the Medford 2-yard line. Both of
those Vargas Cardoso catches
led to Malden second-half scores
at the end of the drives... Two
bigtime performances up front
for Malden came from bookend
junior linemen Jerrell Calixte (63,
270) and Joey Fils (6-1, 290).
Both played both sides of the
ball and both played tremendous
football, as each has done
all season. Both of them are bonafide
Greater Boston League
(GBL) All-Star considerations...
Others up for GBL All-Star talk?
Have to say sophomores Kevin
Exilhomme, linebacker and
co-captain James Hyppolite, junior
safety Felix Da Costa and
junior slotback Davian McGuffie...
Despite being out-sized by
a large margin, with Malden’s
young offensive line averaging
6-1, 260 pounds, the opposing
Medford Mustang line fought
hard and certainly never lied
down, making it a tight game for
much of the second half... Speaking
of the perhaps tighter than
expected second half, when exactly
could Coach Witche Exilhomme
relax? “When the game
was over, that’s it,” he said with a
smile afterward... Seen in some
of the Boston paper photos
that depicted Kevin Exilhomme
steaming down the sidelines on
his way to a game-winning kickoff
return touchdown was Malden
Recreation coordinator and
Macdonald Stadium superintendent
Joe Levine. Levine was
beaming with a huge smile, and
it was fitting, as the Levine Family
has been strongly connected
with the Exilhomme Family for
a number of years, dating back
to when Coach Witche (Class of
2012) was a player for Malden
High... Unsung heroes for the
game were seniors Vidal Garner
(6-0, 350), a D-lineman, and senior
captains Kyle Paulding (FBDL)
and Andrew Louis (TE-DE).
All three made big plays when
they were needed on both sides
of the ball. Paulding had three
catches and two big runs on offense,
including a pair of 2-point
conversions, Louis also contributed
strong on both sides of
the ball and “Big V” Garner was
a force to be reckoned with in
the trenches.

about it.
"“What we’re looking at is how
long, how many times, and how
often a kid is leaving the classroom;
whether it’s for bathroom
pass, hallway pass, nurse pass, or
going to another teacher," Mastrangelo
said.
"When we're talking about
our school, which has over
1,800 students, that adds up to
a lot of passes, a lot of information
needed to have people go
back-and-forth," the sixth-year
Malden High School principal
added.
The new SmartPass system
also is efficient and helpful in
monitoring students who are
tardy in the morning, a process
which formerly had administrative
assistants tied up for unwieldy
amounts of time to start
each school day.
Since the start-of-school
launch of SmartPass, that time
has been lessened considerably,
namely with the use of the digital
passes.
The main goal of the SmartPass
use is to monitor and ultimately,
reduce the time spent
out of class.Before SmartPass,
there was no accurate way to
even guess how many times
a student may have received
a pass to leave a class, for any
reason.

With SmartPass, administrators
now have an exact look at
how many students may be out
of class at any one specific time,
how many times an individual
student has been issued a digital
pass — and for how long.
"We are not tracking students
and there is no GPS element,"
Mastrangelo said, "We are in
no way using this information
or planning on using it to punish
any students because of this
digital data.
"It has been another tool for
our team to use when discussing
ways students can improve
their academic performance,"
Mastrangelo said. "It all starts
with class time and stressing its
importance to our students. The
SmartPass system has already
become an important part of
our school culture."
At a recent Malden School
Committee meeting, Malden
Public Schools Superintendent
Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy
praised the SmartPass system
for its efficiency and the Malden
High School administrative
team for overseeing its use so far
this school year.
The Superintendent also said
the system is being considered
for use districtwide in all five of
the K-8 schools for at least the
middle schools for the 2023-24
school year.

Columbo would say, “Just

and educator Peter Drucker
once opined, “The best way to
predict the future is to create

for Malden with my very own
eyes and we have indeed created
our very own future! Malden’s
fourth City Hall in its long,
storied history opened to much
fanfare and ballyhoo two years
back. A huge sigh of relief was
heard when doors opened – all
the way from Black Ann’s Corner
in Linden to Donut Villa in Edgeworth.
What a showpiece! State
of the art this, state of the art
that. Malden is well equipped
to go toe to toe with any City

is as welcoming, as any.
Anywhere. The view from the

downtown Malden – a view of
Pleasant Street unlike any ever
seen. Attention to detail was
taken. Hogie made sure of that.
I was very happy to find out that
they’ve incorporated an ancient
water fountain, dedicated
in 1911 by the Delano family,
to the outdoor landscaping,
keeping Malden’s past alive

hardworking individuals (hello,
Maria Luise) made crucial
contributions over the years to
make it a reality – continuing to
this very day. Thank you, too, all.
Here’s to Malden’s proud past,

Postscript: One thing that
hasn’t changed over the many
years (135 to be exact) is the
pleasure Malden gets by beating
our neighbors next door,
Medford, in the annual Thanksgiving
Day game (not Melrose
as WCVB Channel 5 reported
on the night of the big game).
This year was extra special – being
held at the “lyric little bandbox,”
Fenway Park. Final score
34-15 with Coach Exilhomme’s
little brother Kevin scoring
three touchdowns along
with killing it on defense with
many bone-crunching tackles.
The kids experienced the thrill
of a lifetime as a contingent of
Malden police escorted them
to the ballpark and back. Glory
days in real time. Congratulations
to Coach Exilhomme and
his staff for bringing pride (glory
will come soon, I am sure)
back to Golden Tornado land.

How to Buy Over-theCounter
Hearing Aids
Dear Savvy Senior,
I’m interested in getting some of the new over-the-counter
hearing aids that just became available a few months ago. Can
you off er any tips to help me with this?
Straining to Hear
Dear Straining,
The new FDA approved over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids
that started rolling out this fall are a real game changer for the
roughly 48 million Americans with hearing loss. Adults with impaired
hearing can now walk in and buy hearing aids at a pharmacy,
big box chain, consumer electronics store or online, without
a prescription and without consulting an audiologist.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved this new class
of hearing aids to lower prices and improve their availability.
About a third of people ages 65 to 74 and half of those over age
75 have hearing loss severe enough to aff ect their daily life. Yet
about 80 percent of people who would benefi t from hearing aids
don’t wear them, according to the National Institutes of Health,
primarily because of the hefty price tag.
Traditional hearing aids ordered through an audiologist cost
anywhere from $1,000 to $7,000 a pair and are not covered by
most private insurers and traditional Medicare. The new OTC hearing
aids range from $200 up to $3,000.
Who Should Get Them?
OTC hearing aids are specifi cally designed for adults (18 and
older) who have mild to moderate hearing loss. You don’t need a
hearing exam or prescription to buy them, and they are designed
so you can fi t and tune them yourself.
Do you have mild to moderate hearing loss? The specifi c signs
are having trouble hearing or understanding conversations, especially
in noisier environments, over the phone, or if you can’t see
who’s talking. Or, if you need a higher volume of TV, radio or music
than other people, or have to ask others to speak more slowly,
louder or repeat what they said.
If, however, your hearing problem is more severe than that, for
example, if you also have trouble hearing loud sounds such as
power tools or motor vehicles, or if you struggle to hear conversations
in quiet settings, then your hearing loss is considered more
signifi cant than over-the-counter aids are intended to address.
To help you get a basic sense of your hearing problem, you can
take an app-based test like Mimi (mimi.health) or SonicCloud
(soniccloud.com).
If you fi nd that your hearing loss is signifi cant, you’ll need to
work with an audiologist or hearing instrument specialist to fi nd
a hearing aid that works for you.
What to Look For
To help you choose a good OTC hearing aid that meets your
needs and preferences, here are some important points to keep
in mind.
Return policy: It can take weeks for your brain to adjust to hearing
louder sounds through a hearing aid, so be sure to choose a
brand that off ers at least a 30-day free trial period, or money back
return policy. The FDA requires manufactures to print their return
policy on the package.
Set up: Many OTC hearing aids require a smartphone or computer
to adjust and operate the devices to your specifi c needs, while
others have the controls on the device. This will also be labeled on
the box. Choose one that fi ts your preference and comfort level.
Battery: The package also should tell you what kind of battery
the device uses. Some of the older versions of hearing aids have
replaceable batteries, but many of the newer ones have rechargeable
batteries that come in a charging case, where you charge
them up every night.
Customer support: Some companies off er unlimited customer
support to help you adjust or fi ne-tune your hearing aids, while
others might limit support or charge extra. Be sure you check.

Council on Aging’s OTC hearing aids buyer’s guide at NCOA.

missed, but her selfl ess nature and quiet
strength will continue in the hearts
and minds of her family as her legacy.

Saugus
We have had a great experience selling our home with Mango
Realty. Staff have all been very helpful and knowledgeable.
Sue Palomba is our realtor, she has been a lot of help and very
easy to work with. I would highly recommend this real estate
company if you are thinking of selling or buying a home.
~Sheila F.
Spectacular sun-filled Colonial with exceptional flow and robust
space. Details matter and this lovely home is brimming with beautiful
woodwork, trim and much character. The open concept kitchen offers
stainless appliances and plenty of granite tops which flows to living
room and inviting fireplace which leads to double door going onto the
deck. Balancing things off on the second floor are 3 generous
bedrooms. The main bedroom has a large sitting room, main bath all
leading to a spacious roof top balcony. Large driveway, level yard, 1
car garage and more. ...$668,000

Many agents will tell you they can sell your home. However, taking a chance on an
agent with no experience selling in your area is TOO big of a risk for such a large
financial asset. I would love to help ensure you get the most money for your home
in the least amount of time for you and your family.
