Enjoy a staycation in your yard! Y our backyard, always a great for your health and well-being, can do even more for families this summer by being a place to hold a staycation. With the pandemic keeping more people closer to home, a backyard vacation can be a fun way to spend time together and build new memories as a family while spending time in green space. How do you excite your family about a backyard vacay and plan a fun time? Here are a few tips to help from the TurfMutt environmental education and stewardship program. Make a backyard staycation plan. Put together a gentle schedule with a mixture of activities that your family will enjoy like dining, camping and games. Add a theme for the week, day or evening. A luau theme can be carried through with costumes, food and activities. A sports theme can have everyone in team jerseys and doing sports activities.

Now may be the time to add a picnic table, a badminton net or croquet course, planters, patio, grill, fi re pit, or pergola to your backyard. Organize for fun. Identify names for meals and activities to spice things up. Even you don’t have a pool, children’s water play misters or sprinklers can help everyone cool off in the backyard (provided your area is not under drought conditions). Map where activities will occur in the yard. A lawn area may be the site of a soccer game, bocce ball or croquet, but it can also double as an overnight camping zone for the kids in a family tent. The fi re pit can be used for roasting hot dogs for lunch or s’mores at night. Time for crafts, potting ment rates and calculating operational grants. • Requires EEC to calculate subsidy rates based on quarterly enrollment rather than daily attenplants, and eating can happen at a picnic or dining table. Assess what you have and consider their creative uses. Lounge chairs, sports and play equipment can be used for their original purposes, but they can also become part of an amazing obstacle course. The wheelbarrow used for gardening and yard work can become part of a family fi eld day. The playset your children adore can become a breakfast spot or reading area. Spruce up your yard.

Acting with great urgency and vision, the Legislature is advancing key provisions of the EEC Economic Review Commission’s blueprint for early care and education, generated by the tremendous leadership of its chairpersons, Senator Jason Lewis and Representative Alice Peisch, through the state budget and legislation that would improve the lives of Massachusetts families now and for generations to come. The Massachusetts Business Coalition for Early Childhood Education is deeply grateful for the Legislature’s unprecedented action, which is driving progress toward a stronger and more equitable economy through the provision of affordable, accessible, high-quality early care and education.” ׉ 7cassandra://dAfm5F_M42TGtDyoKHloa-YHgGaVAnm4rR4nWrNeOfw$`̰bЂuGZ!}׉EcTHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 15, 2022 Page 15 Jason Lewis endorsed for 5th Middlesex District State Senate by ELM Action Fund he Environmental League of Massachusetts Action Fund has endorsed Jason Lewis in the election for 5th Middlesex District in the Massachusetts Senate, a credit to his commitment to the environment and climate action. With issues of public health, environmental justice, transportation and energy policy inextricably linked, we need leaders at every level of government who understand the pressing issues of their community and will call for ambitious action. “Senator Lewis has been a strong leader on too many environmental issues to name, but especially on waste-reduction as the Senate Chair of the Zero Waste Caucus,” said ELM Action Fund Executive Director Casey Bowers. “We are thrilled to continue our support for him.” “I’m thrilled to receive the endorsement of the Environmental League of Massachusetts Action Fund for my re-election campaign to the State Senate,” said Senator Lewis. “If re-elected I will conT tinue to fight for bold policies to combat climate change, protect our environment, grow our state’s clean energy economy like offshore wind power, and reduce waste especially single-use plastics.” Since 2014, Lewis has represented the 5th Middlesex District in the Massachusetts Senate. In the current session, he is the primary sponsor of waste reduction and animal welfare legislation, as well as a bill to restrict the use of the toxic herbicide glyphosate. As the Senate Chair of the Zero Waste Caucus, he has been an ally to the ELM Action Fund on several priority waste-reduction bills.

Writer / director Ti West returned after a substantial hiatus to make what might just be the best horror movie of this young decade. Like the most efficient slashers, X bears a simple premise: a group of twenty-somethings rent out a cabin to film an adult movie in the 1970s and naturally much bloodshed ensues. While X has plenty of the expected thrills and kills packed into its runtime, it’s also the rare slasher with some genuine ideas on its mind about the end of the free-wheeling ‘70s and the rise of Reagan-era moralism. Think Boogie Nights meets Friday the 13th, and you’ll understand why X is sure to go down as one of the year’s finest horror experiences. 3. Top Gun: Maverick After spending the majority of the last 15 Say what you will about Tom Cruise the man, but Tom Cruise the actor still knows years in Transformers purgatory, director Michael Bay has made his best (and most insane) movie in almost 20 years. The trailers for Ambulance promised a rather generic heist thriller filtered through Bay’s orange-and-teal color palette, but make no mistake: this is peak Bayhem, up there with the director’s best. This is an adrenaline junkie’s dream with an unhinged lead performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, comically bloody shootouts, and stunning drone camera work that captures all the hyper-violent hijinks with exhilarating glee. Those with high blood pressure need not apply, but fans of The Rock and Bad Boys will feel right at home. You know a film is special when it qualifies as the year’s best comedy, action movie, and heartfelt drama. Directing duo, The Daniels have made the multiverse movie to end all multiverse movies with Everything Everywhere All At Once, which stars Michelle Yeoh as a downtrodden laundromat owner suddenly thrust into a battle for the fate of the universe. It’s a family story about embracing one’s heritage while appreciating the uniqueness of future generations. It also has wicked kung-fu sequences, talking rocks, and people with hot-dogs for fingers. Wild, weird, irreverent, and touching; if you see one movie from 2022, make it this one. 2. X Cooper Raiff is the triple-threat talent who’s the writer, director, and star of this year’s Sundance smash Cha Cha Real Smooth. In some ways, Raiff’s film is the typical Sundance dramedy: a directionless young man, fresh out of college, strikes up a hopeless romance with an older woman. It’s a premise movie that have been hitting on since The Graduate, but luckily Raiff has a voice all his own. Funny and tender, Cha Cha Real Smooth coasts on charm just like its lead character, but it’s surprisingly critical of his naivete as well. Those in their 30s and up will likely find themselves laughing and cringing in recognition at this endearing comingof-age story. 5. Ambulance ~ Mitch @ The Movies ~ The Best Movies of 2022 (So Far) 1. Everything Everywhere All At Once how to make a satisfying blockbuster better than just about anyone else in Hollywood. Top Gun: Maverick makes the high-octane aerial sequences of the original seem like flying on a discount airline.

The fact that it works as well as it does — 36 years after the first one —feels like a miracle. 4.

In years past, the time period within which to file a claim commenced when the Personal Representative was actually appointed by the Probate Court. Under the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code (MUPC), which was effective on March 31, 2012, creditors now have one year from the date of death to file a claim against the estate. The purpose of the one year from the date of death provision is to promote the quick settlement of estates by allowing the Personal Representative of the estate to pay claims and to make distributions after one year from the date of death without the risk of being held accountable to a creditor. It is not enough for the creditor to simply provide notice of the claim to the Personal Representative, or even to just file a Notice of Claim in the probate court. MUPC Section 3-803(a) provides that, before the one- year period expires, the creditor must bring an action against the Personal Representative in the appropriate court, serve the Personal Representative with process by in hand delivery, and file a Notice of Claim with the Probate Court setting forth the creditor’s information and the amount of the claim. It often occurs that there is no estate to be probated or, even if there is a probate estate, the proceedings do not commence until after one year from the date of death. In this case, the creditor is out of luck and any subsequent claim would be barred. If a creditor is aware of the decedent’s death and the probate process has not commenced, the creditor has the right to petition the Probate Court in order to seek the appointment of a suitable Personal Representative. In this situation, the creditor would be aware that probate assets do indeed exist and that the dollar amount of the claim justifies the expenses to be incurred. The MUPC puts the onus on the creditor to learn of the decedent’s death and to take action accordingly before the statute expires. It should not be too difficult for the creditor to follow-up when no payments on the debt have been made. Furthermore, with today’s easy access to the internet, a quick google search of the debtor’s name and address would provide the date of death of the decedent. It is important for Personal Representatives to be aware of this one-year statute before final estate distributions are made. Joseph D.

BENEFITS FOR MILITARY FAMILIES (H 4978) House 154-0, approved legislation that would support military families who relocate to the Bay State by providing career stability for the spouses of service members and education for their children. The Senate has already approved a different version of the bill and the House version now goes back to the Senate for consideration. Provisions include making it easier for military personnel and their spouses who move to the Bay State to get a Massachusetts professional license, if their job requires one, so that they can continue their civilian careers and provide for their families without interruption; requiring the Commissioner of Education to issue a military spouse a valid certificate for teaching if he or she holds a valid teaching license from another state; allowing children of military members to register and enroll in a school district at the same time it is open to the general population by waiving the proof of residency requirement until the student actually begins school; creating a purple-star campus designation for certain schools that are military-kid friendly and show a major commitment to students and families connected to the nation’s military; and requiring that a child or spouse of an active-duty service member in Massachusetts continue to pay the in-state less expensive tuition rate at state universities even if the service member is assigned to move out of the state. “Anyone who has worn the uniform or has a family member who has worn the uniform knows that the sacrifice of military service goes far beyond the individual service member,” said Sen. John Velis (D-Holyoke) Senate chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs. “[This bill] is a recognition of that sacrifice and the challenges these families face.

Sen. Jason Lewis Yes EARLY EDUCATION AND CHILD CARE (S 2973) Senate 40-0, approved and sent to the House a bill designed to expand access to high-quality, affordable early education and care. Provisions include increasing over time from the current $65,626 to $164,065 the maximum income allowed to qualify for subsidy eligibility for a family of four; requiring the Department of Early Education and Care to evaluate and eliminate barriers to subsidy access for families on an annual basis; strengthening the recruitment of early educators; establishing early educator scholarship and loan forgiveness programs to provide greater access to higher education and professional development opportunities; allowing subsidized providers to offer free or discounted seats for the children of their own staff; and creating a commission to study and recommend to the Legislature ways that employers could provide more support to their workers to help meet their early education and child care needs. “There are numerous benefits from expanding access to high-quality, affordable early education and childcare,” said Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester), Senate Chair of the Committee on Education. “It enhances the cognitive and social emotional development of young children; it enables parents to work and improves families’ economic well-being; and it helps employers that are struggling with a workforce shortage. This legislation makes major strides in improving affordability and accessibility of care for families, stabilizing early education providers which will improve program quality and expand capacity and supporting the early educator workforce, many of whom are women of color.” “This issue has been a top priority of mine for many years, and I am thrilled to pass this transformative piece of legislation alongside my Senate colleagues,” said Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett), a member of the Special Legislative Early Education and Care Economic Review Commission. “As a father of two children, I know that affordable and quality early education and care is indispensable for families and their economic security. This bill will increase childcare access and help thousands of families obtain care at lower costs. Just as importantly, these investments will provide support to childcare providers and ensure people working in this field can earn a living wage, acquire higher education and support their own families.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL $250 OR $500 TAX REBATE TO SOME TAXPAYERS – The House and Senate leadership unveiled legislation that would use some of the state’s estimated $3.6 billion surplus to give one-time tax rebates to an estimated 2 million eligible people. The package is estimated to cost $500 million. A $250 rebate would go, by September 30, to individual taxpayers and a $500 rebate to married taxpayers. Eligibility will be determined by annual income reported in 2021, with the minimum income required to be $38,000, and the maximum $100,000 for individual filers and $150,000 for joint filers. “Whether it is the rising price of gas, groceries, or summer clothes for kids, the Massachusetts Legislature has heard loud and clear that increased costs due to inflation have cut into family budgets,” said speaker of the House Ron Mariano, Senate President KarenSpilka, House Ways and Means Chair Aaron Michlewitz and Senate Ways and Means Chair Mike Rodrigues, in a joint statement. The statement continued, “These rebates represent the Legislature’s commitment to delivering immediate financial relief directly to residents of the commonwealth, rather than to large oil companies that continue to profit off economic uncertainty and international conflict and follow our efforts to provide $500 in premium pay for lower income front-line workers during the pandemic. As we recognize the need for structural change as well, we continue to work on potential changes to the tax code with the goal of providing additional relief to residents.” “The Legislature’s ‘Taxpayer Energy and Economic Relief Fund’ proposal is a good start in reimbursing taxpayers for the muti-billion-dollar over-taxation revenue surpluses bonanza of the past two years,” said Chip Ford, executive director of Citizens for Limited Taxation. “Anything that reduces taxpayers’ burden especially in this economy is welcomed, but this will only reduce the pain for a few weeks in the fall. Gov. Baker’s tax relief bill offers broader and long-overdue structural tax reforms. It also needs consideration and adoption. Clearly there is sufficient surplus revenue for both.” “This is a poorly thought-out gimmick being done right before the election simply to score points with voters, plain and simple,” said Mass Fiscal Alliance spokesman Paul Craney. “Meaningful relief should be broad based and focused on lowering taxes on the people they most effect. Picking winners and losers through arbitrary brackets, as well as penalizing married couples more likely to have families depending on them, is a poor way for our out of touch Legislature to show solidarity with the privations their ill-conceived economic policies are currently forcing Massachusetts families to contend with.” Critics also took a swipe at the measure because it doesn’t provide a rebate for lower-income taxpayers earning less than $38,000. Marie-Frances Rivera, president of the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center, said that rebates that exclude people earning less than $38,000 is not targeted tax relief to people who need it the most and are struggling to pay rent every month. Mariano responded at a press conference and pointed out that the Legislature several months ago had already spent $490 million on low-income folks who were adversely affected by the COVID loss of jobs. “So we felt we had addressed a lot of the needs there,” said Mariano. “The next step was to move up and take care of the folks who are in that middle income area that so often is neglected.” Some opponents said it is also unfair to exclude people earning over $100,000 from the rebate. They noted that if you have three children and earn $100,000 you are not exactly rich. $400,000 FOR FARMS – The Baker Administration announced the granting of $400,000 in grants to several Bay State farms to improve their operations. “[The] administration remains committed to the Massachusetts agricultural industry to ensure our local farmers continue to succeed and have the support they need to provide invaluable products for the public to enjoy,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Beth Card. “These Agricultural Preservation Restriction Program Improvement grants will further strengthen the commonwealth’s food supply system making it more resilient now and well into the future.” “The Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) is steadfast with its commitment to our commonwealth’s farming families,” said MDAR Commissioner John Lebeaux. “Through the … program we have been able to conserve critical farmland, preserve Massachusetts agricultural history and provide support to help keep these farm businesses sustainable now and for future generations.” SOME COVID-19 POLICIES EXTENDED (H 4978 AND S 2559) – The House approved a bill that extends the authority for remote participation for all public bodies and the authority for representative town meetings to meet by remote means through March 31, 2023. Other provisions authorize the use of electronic communication technology in real estate property closings by attorneys; require landlords, when sending tenants a notice to quit for nonpayment of rent, to include information regarding the tenant's legal rights; require all public notices be posted to a website; require that the meeting of a state public body must have at least one of its members physically present at all meetings; and permit notary publics to select a tamper-evident technology for notarial acts with electronic record. “This legislation makes permanent the flexibility permitted under the Open Meeting Law during the COVID-19 State of Emergency while keeping with the Open Meeting Law’s objectives of transparency, convenience and access by the public,” said Rep. Tony Cabral (D-New Bedford), the chair of the Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight. “The ability to participate remotely has significantly increased and promoted access and participation in our democratic process throughout the commonwealth. There is no reason to move backwards from this new era of public access. Now that we have experienced the benefits of remote access to public meetings, we cannot go back.” Advocates for the bill include the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, Boston Center for Independent Living, Common Cause Massachusetts, Disability Law Center, League of Women Voters of Massachusetts, Massachusetts Newspaper Publishers Association, MASSPIRG, New England First Amendment Coalition, and New England Newspaper & Press Association. Those groups released a joint statement. “We applaud the Legislature for consistently appreciating the importance of remote access to public meetings,” read the statement. “Across the commonwealth, remote access to public meetings has significantly increased public participation in state and local government, and has lowered longstanding barriers for people with disabilities, people with limited access to transportation and people with work and family obligations.” The Senate has already approved its own version of the measure and a House-Senate conference committee will likely craft a compromise version. LOTTERY FOR LOW LICENSE PLATES - The Registry of Motor Vehicle announced that applications for the 2022 Low Number License Plate Lottery are now being accepted and must be submitted online by 5 p.m., Friday, September 2. This year's goodies are 199 low license plates including F7, 36, 78K, X44, 1S, and 6666. Applications are available online at http://www.mass.gov/RMV There is no fee to apply. However, If the applicant is selected as a winner, there is a special plate fee that will be required, in addition to a standard registration fee. Prior to the establishment of this lottery several years ago, these low-number plates were given away under the old-school system which gave the plates to “well-connected” drivers who "knew someone" in state government. QUOTABLE QUOTES “These toxic chemicals don’t belong anywhere, let alone in food packaging. Kudos to Rhode Island for taking this important step to protect the public from PFAS. I hope Massachusetts will soon become the next state to act.” --- Ben Hellerstein, state director for Environment Massachusetts, on Rhode Island’s passage of a new law banning PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) in food packaging. Supporters say that PFAs are dangerous chemicals which have been linked to a wide variety of health problems including immunosuppression, low birthweight, liver disease and testicular and kidney cancer. “The Legislature’s move, driven by Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka, to give driver's licenses to people in this country illegally resonated like no other issue before with the people of Massachusetts. MassFiscal set a record with the number of people who used our website to contact their legislators opposing this vote. ---Paul Craney, spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “I look forward to working with you and your team and our team as we hopefully quickly and successfully settle the differences between both of our bills. It’s the first time we’ve attempted to update and modernize the cannabis laws since they were enacted by the voters in 2016 and modified by us in the Legislature in 2017.” BHRC | SEE PAGE 22 ׉ 7cassandra://pBgJqsu7BsR6_j8JXCadVFCgGV07TleUUMGFW2_3vWM$>`̰bЂuGZ!}ȁbЂuGZ!}ǁ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://-5ma78F3pJkHfxvV4f8w98cv-tOwyTb4cIqt0Qn29y8(`)׉ 7cassandra://AfyprP4bZyxAt85Q1ngmyED4XduA4i62jqAlesj-g64}`J׉ 7cassandra://ykNYE5TdBJTKSGI7UutZ-cCCTr3CPi6lQBAwZI0K76w"`̰׉ 7cassandra://Ps7Y9OsulGTw-zzyqstHa-_EbmWeByGV7hUM9LWjMMQCm͠bЂGZ!}ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://plFjtXBe3lvaInZ6CAiVip0GdnhgspZOE6vxVDhU-l4`)׉ 7cassandra://-1UE5CmicXm4RRRw1A8qaMV2ND4521DfwnIboHh9TkM{z`J׉ 7cassandra://jkc7NcgjQSyDAeeVuSOXdP944i2hKWc8d0UosiCJZCE' `̰׉ 7cassandra://XXvy9xr-30dpgPSgVkZm_9X4TP5Dowvc9i0WQKINvtIA̤͠bЂGZ!}נbЂGZ!}I 9ׁH"mailto:Purchasing@cityofmalden.orgׁ ׁ ЈנbЂGZ!}9ׁH"mailto:Purchasing@cityofmalden.orgׁ ׁ Ј׉E"RPage 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 15, 2022 avy eniiooravvy S iorn or avvyavy vvy io iori by Jim Miller How to Find and Claim Your Family’s Forgotten Assets Dear Savvy Senior, A while back I read an article about some online tools that can help people search for lost or forgotten money left behind by their deceased relatives, but I’ve misplaced it. Can you help me with this? My mom, who passed away in January, was always bad about keeping up with her money, so I’m wondering if there was anything she left behind. Searching Son Dear Searching, Forgotten or lost money is actually very common in the United States. According to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, there are literally billions of dollars in unclaimed funds sitting in state treasuries and other agencies just waiting to be found. These unclaimed funds are from accounts that are inactive or whose owners, or their heirs, cannot be located. Unclaimed funds can include things like lost or forgotten saving or checking accounts, stocks, utility security deposits, tax refunds, life insurance policy proceeds, un-cashed dividend checks, matured savings bonds and much more. This typically happens because of a change of address (the owner moved), a name change (the owner got married or divorced), or the owner dies, and the estate was unaware of the money or the heirs could not be located. By law, companies and fi nancial institutions that can’t fi nd the owner or their next of kin within two to fi ve years must turn the property over to the state where it’s held indefi nitely. Where to Search About 10 percent of all Americans have some unclaimed money out there waiting to be found, so it’s very possible your mother had some too. To start your search, go to Unclaimed.org, which has links to all state programs that will let you do a state benefi ts search online for free. Or you can do a multi-state search in 39 states at MissingMoney.com. Be sure to check every state in which your mother lived, worked or did business. Also, make sure to check under your mom’s maiden name, and if she had a frequently misspelled name, search those misspellings too. Using her fi rst initial and her last name is also encouraged to make sure everything comes up. Every state can tell you immediately if your mom has some unclaimed money, as well as how to go about collecting it. Look Here Too In addition to state treasuries, here are some other resources that can help you look for unclaimed money that may have been overlooked. Forgotten retirement benefi ts: To search for lost or forgotten 401(k) funds your mom may have left behind with an old employer, use the National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement Benefi ts at UnclaimedRetirementBenefi ts.com. Or to search for lost pension benefi ts, use the Pension Benefi t Guaranty Corporation trusteed plan search tool at PBGC.gov/search-trusteed-plans. Lost life insurance: To track down a lost or forgotten life insurance policy, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, an insurance regulatory support organization, off ers a free policy locator service at https://eapps.naic.org/life-policy-locator. Unredeemed savings bonds: It’s very common for people to lose track of U.S. saving bonds because they are often given to children as gifts, then forgotten before the bonds reach maturity. To fi nd out if your mom had any, the U.S. Department of the Treasury provides an online search tool at TreasuryHunt.gov for fi nding matured, uncashed savings bonds over 30 years old and no longer earning interest. Federal tax refunds: Each year thousands of refund checks totaling millions of dollars are returned to the IRS by the post offi ce. To look for lost Federal tax refund checks go to IRS.gov/refunds or call 800-829-1954. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
