Following his presentation, Mr. Robinson met individually with junior and senior student government offi - cers, discussing his background and career path, and engaging in a productive exchange of ideas.

As an example of sacrifice, Robinson explored John Adams’s decision to defend the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre, damaging his own reputation in the process, to defend the American ideal of innocent until proven guilty. He also pointed to the Felix Petition of 1773; a document written by Bostonian enslaved Africans to free themselves from bondage before our country even existed.

The Malden Police Department previously received a state grant to develop and implement the Body-Worn Camera program, which was rolled out earlier this year.

M ALDEN – Friday, December 2, 2022 – This Wednesday, Governor Baker signed H.4793, An Act Relative to the Preparation of Certain Bilingual Ballots in the City of Malden, into law, making Malden the second-ever city in the Commonwealth with transliterated candidate names on the ballots, after the City of Boston. Under the amended federal Voting Rights Act of 1975, cities and towns with a considerable single-language population, defi ned as 10,000 individuals or fi ve per-cent of the population, are required to provide bilingual ballots in their communities. However, these requirements often overlook one of the most important parts of a ballot: the candidates’ names. In Malden, where almost 50 per-cent of the residents speak a language other than English in their homes and Chinese is spoken at nearly fi ve-times the state average rate, the lack of transliteration of candidates’ names represents a critical barrier that prevents a signifi cant number of residents from exerTRANSLITERATION | SEE PAGE 8 Plow Package, Runs & Drives Great, Great Condition, Clean Title, 150K Miles!

Levine T hanksgiving: food, family, football and maybe a Ballantine Ale or two make it the best holiday on the calendar. In Malden we have the annual Malden versus Medford football game and the “Night Before Thanksgiving Tradition” originated, I believe, in Malden at the old Highland Cafe in the late 1970s by the Class of 1975 (a group of friends that needed very little reason to get together and drink beer). Insert smiley face. Father Time has a way of making many of us appreciate the holiday even more. As we travel through this crazy life of ours together and as we recognize our transience, we tend to take less for granted. To savor the moment and enjoy – just enjoy. DPW Director Bobby Knox spoke eloquently on this same subject recently via Facebook: “Another Thanksgiving over and a lot of loved ones have passed through the years as the table gets smaller each year. I refl ect to the early days when I was young and went to my grandmother’s house on Whitman Street and had the best Thanksgivings (my favorite holiday) with family, friends, and Malden football. I would love to roll back the clock to walk through the door after Malden beat Medford and have Turkey Day with my grandparents/parents and extended family one last time. Thank you for everyone that made yesterday another memory for my family. Enjoy your family because the days don’t last forever.” Here is MHS Class of 1977 Dave O’Brien relating his football/Thanksgiving Day experience as only Obie can: “We tend to focus on, and recall more often, the endings of our experiences. Journeys fi nd their meaning in the outcome. It’s called The Grand Finale for a reason. “Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns out that seniors who lose more than half of their games but win the Thanksgiving Game often report higher levels of satisfaction with their fi nal season Law Offices of Terrence W.

But beginnings are where we start. “Before I even hear of Pop Warner, I play one-on-one tackle with Anthony Pasquale on the lawn of the haunted house on Auburn Street. He is younger, but bigger. He moves to Medford. “1970. I am eleven. And I’m a troubled kid. My brother Danny has died that summer after getting hit by a car. I don’t cry at the memorial service. Not even when they play Bridge Over Troubled Water. But stay tuned. “Coach Marsinelli makes me a captain of Malden’s fi rst C-Squad. We lose every game and have fun doing it.

I don’t wash my practice uniform. I mean, ever. I have to leave it on the back porch. It turns from white to brown and smells like a Roosevelt Park puddle. I am one with my environment. I block for Stanasek and Russell and Jesi and Langston and Roach. I fi nd out what it feels like to win the G.B.L. “1972. Thirteen years old and a captain of the A-Squad. This year, I wash my uniform and we don’t win the G.B.L. We come close. But we lose to Chelsea in the fi nal game. Billy Swanson, who will choose not to play organized football after this season, is our best player on off ense and defense. “1973. Ninth grade, now. Beebe. Gene Revelas is the fullback, and I am tailback. We give each other concussions every Tuesday at one-on-one head-slamming drills. I see stars explode in the sky above and feel an electric shock go through exactly one side of my body. We surprise everyone by losing our fi rst two games. But we fi nish the season 5-2. “1974. My fi rst year at Malden High. I can’t imagine any team, ever, having three better varsity captains than Jack and Jeff and Bunza. Our sophomore team goes undefeated. Shawn and I are on the varsity kickoff team. And this feels like a privilege because Malden wins the G.B.L. “1975. A junior in high school. I have my best season. And my favorite season. I’m starting at left guard. My best friend, Louis Femino, is right guard. Malden wins another G.B.L. I could have climbed to the top of the gas tank next to the fi eld and yelled, ‘Look at me, Ma. I’m on top of the world.’ “But that world of ours keeps on turning. And there is a reason why Greek tragedies are timeless. The season of 1976 rolls around. Senior year. Along with Louie and Richard Angelo, I’m a team captain. Much is expected of us. Lou Racca tells me that he wants an undefeated season. ‘And no ties.’ “They have me starting both ways. I’m a 160-pound nose tackle. I beat everyone on the bench press. But I have the legs of a distance runner. I’m an improper fraction. Designed for wrestling. “I get off to a pretty good start. In our fi rst game against Melrose, I get slugged. But I have matured. (Or so I believe at the time.) I don’t punch back. I wave bye-bye to the kicked-out-ofthe-game Melrose player. We take the fi fteen yards and win the game on a double pass. “The season goes on. I wear down. There is inner-turmoil and what I think is called ‘adolescent angst.’ I’m seventeen and a mess. I have issues. And that all sounds like excuses. “But, whatever. I am not getting the job done on defense and it is hurting the team and I know it and it frustrates me and I take those frustrations out on Mathew because he is the biggest kid on the team and I don’t have that size and maybe we should have two-platooned and blah, blah, blah. “The Thanksgiving Day Game arrives. We are at Pearl Street on a perfect-weather day in front of six thousand people. I come out of the huddle for the fi rst play of the game, and there, waiting for me, lined up at defensive tackle, is Anthony Pasquale. “Malden is behind but we have the ball at the end of the game on what feels like the fi nal drive.

I paid particular attention to the progress of both the new Honors program and the AEAP program for talented students. I needed clarification to compare and contrast how both programs are structured. Having gone to an Exam School myself during the 1970’s in Boston, I am curious and partial to the AEAP structure. After chatting with the math coach and other instructors, it was immensehad met or made progress toward achieving it. School Committee Member Rob McCarthy, who chairs the Superintendent Evaluation Subcommittee, said that while he and fellow members Jennifer Spadafora and Sharyn Rose Zeiberg were working much was happening in the district. Malden teachers held a vote of no confi dence in Noriega-Murphy because she tried to make changes that should have required union approval. Teachers staged a one-day strike over pay increases and a safe working environment. In addition to those problems, questions were raised about Noriega-Murphy’s academic credentials. “There was obviously a backand-forth with the teachers’ union,” said McCarthy, adding that events did not aff ect the committee’s evaluation. “I think right now, at this point, the Superintendent Evaluation Subcommittee will have to meet again to go over all our data and information,” said McCarthy. “Then we’ll decide to vote it out favorably or negatively to the entire School Committee,” said McCarthy. As for instructional leadership, School Committee Members agreed that the Superintendent was able to collect and measure scope of data when it comes to the school district. School Committee Members agree that there was support for educators across the entire district with helping them with licensure issues and making a pipeline for paraprofessionals. ly helpful to have an extended dialogue with the current K-4 AEAP teacher. The talent and dedication of our Linden AEAP staff is phenomenal! If invited, I am willing to come back and listen/talk in more detail about how the program can be enhanced for future generations of children. Sincerely, Joseph Gray Ward 6 School Committee Member Committee members ranked Noriega-Murphy mostly either proficient or exemplary in instructional leadership with the exception of evaluation, which several felt needs improvement. In the other categories, Noriega-Murphy received a range of ranking with an overall rating of profi cient. McCarthy said a lot of the information gathered showed Noriega-Murphy in a positive light, but there was some disagreement among committee members on whether the fi nal rank should be profi cient or needs improvement.

"We have been coming back from this and coming back from that for several years now, since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020," Conefrey told The Malden Advocate. "This school year it finally feels as if we are completely back in business when it comes to interscholastic athletics.

Some of the teams — including two of the three coed teams Malden is fielding this winter — have seen their biggest turnouts in many years, Conefrey said. Coed Wrestling, coached by Rin Van and Coed Gymnastics, coached by Katie Bowdridge, have both seen close to 30 or more student-athletes taking part in preseason drills and practices so far.

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.

As a fi refi ghter, Mr. GRANT | FROM PAGE 3 Axon body-worn camera program, the Malden Police Department and the City are prioritizing transparency and accountability while keeping our community and our police offi cers safe – and we are proud to continue to support these eff orts in the legislature.” Eisnor was responsible for protecting the Malden community. Instead, he dishonored his noble profession and sold drugs while on duty,” said U.S. Attorney Rachael S. Rollins. “His conduct also jeopardized the safety of his fellow fi remen and women who – like the overwhelming majority of public servants – do their jobs with honor, dignity and controlled substance free.” “It is dishonorable for a fi refighter to break the law and breach the trust of his community that he took an oath to protect, but that is exactly what Joshua Eisnor did while dealing drugs on duty to his fellow fi refi ghters, putting them, and the citizens of Malden, in potential danger,” said the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Boston Division, Joseph R. Bonavolonta. “This case illustrates the FBI’s commitment to bringing to justice those who deliberately compromise the integrity of their position for their addictions.” “We are grateful to our Legislative Delegation and the Executive Offi ce of Public Safety and Security for this crucial funding,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “Having rolled out our bodyworn camera program in October, we are already seeing positive results as our offi cers continue their hard work of protecting our residents.” “Prescription drugs off ered illegally have no guarantees of safety or effi cacy and hold the potential to harm those who use them,” said the Special Agent in Charge of the FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations’ New York Field Offi ce, Fernando McMillan. “We will continue to investigate and bring to justice those who put the health of the public at risk.” This case announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Rollins, FBI SAC Bonavolonta, FSA-CI SAC McMillan and the Special Agent in Charge of the Department of Veterans Aff airs Offi ce of Inspector General’s Northeast Field Offi ce, Christopher F. Algieri. Special assistance was provided by the Merrimack Valley Transnational Organized Crime Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Eugenia M. Carris, Deputy Chief of Rollins’ Public Corruption & Special Prosecutions Unit, and Howard Locker of Rollins’ Health Care Fraud Unit prosecuted the case. “The Malden Police Department is truly appreciative of the eff orts made by our Legislative Delegation and EOPSS to assist us with our Body-Worn Camera (BWC) program,” said Police Chief Glenn Cronin. “BWC’s have bolstered our continuing eff ort and commitment to increase transparency, legitimacy, and trust within our community.” ׉ 7cassandra://Ndr1aTV-pft0zW-yuuUBcp5ASMyqDHoUo2bbQeG70q0(`̰cV8K(K׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 9, 2022 Page 13 Councillor Simonelli, Mayor Christenson and City of Malden Welcome Santa to Lincoln Commons L incoln Commons was decorated for the holiday season, and last Saturday evening Santa arrived to help ring in the holiday season and light up the park – thanks to the combined efforts of Ward 7 Councillor Chris Simonelli, his colleagues and Mayor Gary Christenson.

Then it was right back to the kid: "He will get more off ers very soon, if one coach strikes gold, other coaching staffs want a piece of it, too," Coach Exilhomme said. The Malden coach, who led the Tornado football team to its most victories in eight seasons (4-6) this past fall, got a text from Class of 2022 placekicker Ronald Juarez Tuesday night that he had received a D-1 off er from Merrimack College. It was the fi rst Malden player to receive a D-1 off er since 2015, when the coach's own two brothers, D.J and Danley Exilhomme got the nod from Central Connecticut State University (CCSU). Not a bad package deal for the Blue Devils — two of Malden's all-time best players! Juarez had a standout career at Malden High, playing the 2018-2020 seasons under former head coach Steve Freker and then his senior year, 2021, with Coach Exilhomme. Due to unpredictable and cloudy recruiting seasons during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was diffi cult for Juarez to be seen extensively, though he did attend several national-level kicking camps accompanied by Coach Freker in the past several years. They were run by nationally-renowned Chris Sailer and also Kicking World, in outof-state locales such as Florida, North Carolina and New Jersey. Following last season, Coach Exilhomme suggested that Juarez attend the coach's former postgraduate destination, Milford Academy, in upstate New York. Juarez was immediately accepted and locked it in to attend Milford just about one year ago. It turned out to be exactly the right move, as Juarez excelled at Milford — which plays a national schedule — dominating the kicking game, including a 51-yard fi eld goal made in one game and several other clutch kicks.

"He knew what he wanted and he stayed with it. I really don't think he missed contacting any program you could possibly think of," Coach Freker said. "He's a very hard worker and has always been extremely motivated." Malden High Director of Athletic said he always thought highly of Juarez. "He worked hard to improve his craft of kicking and he also stepped it up in the classroom when he set his sights on playing college football. "Ronald Juarez is most likely the best placekicker or at least one of the very best, to ever play football at Malden High," Conefrey said, noting the Class of 2022 grad booted the game winning fi eld goal in not one, but two Thanksgiving wins over Medford, in the 29-0 rout in 2019 and the 12-10 (no off ensive touchdowns scored) win in 2021.

The city may use Sustainable Materials Recovery Program grant funding to improve local recycling, composting, reuse, and household hazardous waste diversion programs. New to the program this year, grantees were encouraged to consider Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 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 Jason 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 efforts at the local and state levels to reduce solid waste, especially 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 Paul Donato. “Finding innovative solutions to fight 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 Kate Lipper-Garabedian. "I am confident 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 offers crucial funding for cities across the Commonwealth to support and encourage recycling, composting and waste reduction initiatives,” said Representative Steven 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 efforts to make Malden more environmentally responsible when it comes to waste reduction and recycling,” said Mayor Gary 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 significant progress.I encourage our lawmakers as well as MassDEP to keep this program at the top of their priority list." The SMRP has awarded more than $50 million in grants since the program’s creation in 2010. ׉ 7cassandra://aN2poZDogDOjl1bKgOX52Lzdd5JJAPKfam5umInVMLU"`̰cV8K(NcV8K(M PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://gXXhr-oqg2TmHYCNSvWm7yDEWD5fd1jy9I24oyjbCRk`)׉ 7cassandra://lGs4yYaGRS1d7SI3m53gdwCjYACUZ3RKrZlQsUluW_k͂`J׉ 7cassandra://3RuodS281s-N28aBZiX-Kyu-BHyvs4qHlfxM2Ci5JDE*`̰׉ 7cassandra://nvq8kkxvePrGHhGfIN2jKTCnbYa4sDU4JC4TVqp1Llc.̈͠cV,8K(ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://-j4McViWJxBoJ3-WXas6PfN2y5j4VHUVvBDyeDf6Hi0 `)׉ 7cassandra://jR1IdhCvU7_COMjw249VRiWSm6VSLfJm8K_u6Xr7PtI͏`J׉ 7cassandra://XPZTAt5T6mNm1O2K74BlDPnavPPyOANrZeIqxbDfoAU)`̰׉ 7cassandra://15J8HPaJ6EB_d6UdAFoMroJy0AfnIGSp0040tE8aiuwX͠cV,8K(נcV,8K(-̫ 9ׁHhttp://www.thewarrengroup.comׁ ׁ ЈנcV,8K((9ׁHmailto:Info@advocatenews.netׁ ׁ ЈנcV,8K( 49ׁHhttp://cityofmalden.orgׁ ׁ ЈנcV,8K(Le9ׁHhttp://ofmalden.org/915/Projectׁ ׁ ЈנcV,8K(P}9ׁHhttps://www.ciׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 9, 2022 Your Hometown News Delivered!

The seven-member Committee will be a group of Malden residents that will, in partnership with the City of Malden, ensure that the redevelopment and future operations of the Malden Center for Arts and Culture remain consistent with the vision and values for the space established in the concept plan. The City is now soliciting applications from interested residents to serve on the Committee for a three-year term. Project background and progress: The City of Malden is working to redevelop the decommissioned Malden District Courthouse on Summer Street into the Malden Center for Arts and Culture. In May 2021, Mayor Christenson formed a Steering Committee led by Ward 3 Councillor Amanda Linehan and a diverse coalition of arts and cultural leaders and practitioners. The Steering Committee worked with Malden’s Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development, the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), the Boston Society for Architecture (BSA), UX Architecture Studio and Silverman Trykowski Associates to create a concept plan based on broad community input. The concept plan provides a roadmap for the redevelopment mittee will receive updates from the City and the Operator and make recommendations on design, fundraising and community outreach as needed. Committee members will be appointed by the Mayor and serve three-year terms. Who are we looking for? MalRendition of Malden Center for Arts & Culture, Exterior West at Night of the former Malden District Courthouse into an arts center to serve Malden residents and surrounding communities. The plan was finalized after a yearlong community engagement process that included a citywide survey of artist space needs, multiple focus groups with community groups and artists and an outdoor cultural festival. The Steering Committee adopted the following vision statement for the center: The Malden Center for Arts and Culture will be a memorable destination for performing and visual arts for Malden residents and visitors. The building will be a hub for creative practice and community engagement and create a warm and inviting atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. From Malden youth recording and producing music to arts working in digital media studios to theater and dance performance offerings, the space will be a dynamic center of creative activity in Malden. In addition to the community engagement work the Steering Committee led, the concept plan is also based on research into similar cultural centers and arts spaces. The Committee and the consultant partners have tried to find a model for how the building can meet community needs and desires for the space, while also generating enough revenue to sustain itself. The final concept plan is available to view on the project webpage: https://www.cityofmalden.org/915/Project-Updates. The City is currently working with the Commonwealth to finalize the acquisition after the Governor approved the sale of the property in August 2022. Reportedly, the acquisition will be completed in early 2023. Advisory committee role: The Committee will primarily be tasked with overseeing the Operator to make sure the Malden Center for Arts and Culture stays true to the vision and values set in the concept plan. The Operator will be selected through a competitive procurement process managed by the City. The Committee will serve as the selection committee and make recommendations to the City on which proposal best meets the criteria set forth in the Request for Proposals (RFP). The Operator, when selected, will be required to adhere to certain performance metrics, which will be reviewed by the Committee periodically. During the redevelopment phase of the project, the Comden artists and cultural leaders are encouraged to apply, especially those with knowledge of arts facilities and nonprofit operations. Youths, Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) community members and immigrants are especially encouraged to apply. The Committee will be reflective of Malden’s artistic and cultural diversity. Advisory Committee members must commit to attending quarterly meetings, which will most likely be held on weekday evenings. Please note: If you or an organization that you are affiliated with is planning to submit a proposal to be the Operator of the building, you should NOT apply to serve on the Advisory Committee. How to apply: Please send a cover letter and resume to Senior Planner & Policy Manager Evan Spetrini at espetrini@ cityofmalden.org. In your cover letter, be sure to state why you would like to serve on the Committee and what expertise you would bring to the group. Applications will be accepted until January 5, 2023. Candidates will be interviewed as a part of the selection process.

Apparently, there are hundreds of these programs across the country that many retirees, like me, are eligible for but don’t know about. What can you tell me about this? Overtaxed Eddie Dear Eddie, Great question! Residential property-tax refund and credit programs exist in nearly every state, but unfortunately few people know about them. These programs can help retirees and many other Americans by reducing their property taxes. Here’s what you should know. Rising Property Taxes Property taxes are a major source of income for local governments, but while they help fund key public services, they can be a fi nancial drain for many homeowners, especially retirees, many of whom live on fi xed incomes. According to Attom Data Solutions, a property-data provider, the average American household payed $3,785 in property taxes in 2021, but this amount varies widely depending on your state’s tax rate and your home’s estimated value. For example, New Jersey residents paid $9,476 per year on average in 2021, while West Virginia residents paid $901. To help ease this tax burden, most states off er a number of property-tax relief programs. But states aren’t always proactive in letting people know. It’s up to you, the homeowner, to fi nd out what’s available in your county or city that you may be eligible for, and to apply. Relief Programs Property tax relief programs, sometimes called exemptions, release eligible homeowners from paying some or all of their property tax obligation. How long the exemption lasts can vary depending on where you live, and the reason you’re applying for the exemption. The tax-relief process varies by county, city or state. In general, you’ll have to meet certain eligibility requirements, submit an application and provide documents that support your request. Most programs will either reduce, waive or freeze property taxes for seniors, veterans, surviving spouses, disabled and low-income residents. But there are some counties that also off er basic homestead exemptions to homeowners regardless of age or income, and others that may provide exemptions to homeowners that have recently made energy-effi cient improvements to their home. Where to Look The best way to learn about local property-tax relief programs and their eligibility requirements is to visit your county, city or state website that collects your property tax. Most of these sites also provide applications and instructions, and will allow you to apply either online, by mail or at your local tax offi ce. Another good resource for locating programs in your area is the Lincoln Institute, which has a property-tax database that lets you to browse programs across the country. To access it go to ResidentialPropertyTaxReliefPrograms.org. AARP may also be able to help through their Property TaxAide service – see PTAconsumers.aarpfoundation.org. This free program, which is available in 13 states (Arizona, Colorado, Florida–Miami Dade County, Illinois-Cook County, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York and North Carolina) and the District of Columbia helps eligible homeowners and renters apply for relief.

The Stage at Suff olk Downs, located in the infi eld of The Track at 525 William F McClellan Highway, will host up to 8,500 concert goers beginning spring 2023. “The Bowery Presents has always focused on creating and operating venues where both fans and artists alike can have a great experience. We are confident Suffolk Downs will join Roadrunner, The Sinclair and Royale as a beloved concert venue in Greater Boston, delivering on our commitment to keep the music fi rst,” said Josh Bhatti, Vice President and head of the Boston offi ce of The Bowery Presents, an AEG Presents Company. “The Bowery Presents is honored to have the opportunity to work alongside the HYM team to bring The Stage at Suff olk Downs to fruition.” The Stage at Suff olk Downs is not the track’s fi rst foray into live music: The Beatles were the fi rst band to perform there, playing to 25,000 screaming fans in 1966. Since then, legendary artists such as The Jackson 5, Radiohead and Bjork have also performed. With The Stage at Suff olk Downs, The Bowery Presents plans to honor the site’s musical legacy, while reinvigorating the space to bring an open-air summer concert experience to all. “Suffolk Downs has been thoughtfully designed as a place that brings people together and connects communities,” said Thomas N. O’Brien, Managing Partner and Chief Executive Offi cer of HYM. “We are thrilled to partner with The Bowery Presents who will help us continue to realize this vision as we bring the proud history of live music back through The Stage at Suff olk Downs.” The opening of The Stage at Suff olk Downs will expand The Bowery Presents’ owned and operated venues to three within the Boston area, joining the 3,500 capacity Roadrunner (which opened in Brighton in March 2022) and 525 capacity The Sinclair in Cambridge, (which just celebrated its 10th anniversary) alongside the Royale (exclusively booked by The Bowery Presents with 1,200 capacity), and the company’s hundreds of annual concert bookings in theaters and arenas in the region. The Bowery Presents is the leading concert promotion and venue management company in the Northeast with venues in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Maine.
