Surprisingly, however, even
with the lure of another historic
election and some of the
best early November weather
possible, voter turnout was
just 58%, nearly 15% lower
than turnout in both the previous
2020 and 2016 Presidential

a new city high of 38,425, the
turnout was just 22,305 – 58%

71 percent in 2016. Again, Malden
was in line with the numbers
from across the Commonwealth.
Massachusetts was

ayor Gary Christenson and
Director of Veterans Services
Kevin Jarvis invite the public
to celebrate Veterans Day on
Monday, November 11, 2024, at
10 a.m. at the World War I Monument
located at Devir Park at the
corner of Malden Street and the
Fellsway. The World War I Monument
has the names of nearly
3,000 Malden men and women
who served during World War I.
The ceremony will include the
unveiling of a full-sized bronze
statue of a World War I soldier.
On November 11, 1918, after
four years of confl ict, the armistice
was signed by the allied nations
and Germany – ending World War
I. The observance of Veterans Day
originated in 1919. Veterans Day
is a federal holiday that honors all
American veterans, regardless of
which war they served in. It's a day
to thank living veterans for their
service and to acknowledge that
all who served have sacrificed.
There are approximately 300,000
veterans living in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts.

their Edgeworth neighbors and
friends. Right away, when Markey
and his wife were barely through
the doorway, dozens in the large
hall had realized they were in the
presence of Washington, D.C.-style
political royalty.
One step into the hall, Senator
Markey confi rmed it when he exclaimed,
a few notches louder than
simple colloquial conversation,
“Democracy is on the line!” No matter
what side of the fray someone
may have been on Election Day, it
was a true ear-catcher.

well have been a distant relative
of a much more well-known exhortation.
Remember that “oldie
but goodie”? It was delivered by
a gentleman named Revere while
galloping through the streets of
greater Boston in the late 1700s.
The Senator owns a lot of rooms
he chooses to enter around the
nation, and so he did on Tuesday
when he came to Malden to cast
his ballot. He and his wife did the
very same, turned in their completed
ballots and then the Senator, in
a nod to his penchant for keeping
up with the times, was assisted by
Dr. Blumenthal in creating a quick
Instagram-bound video, where he
acknowledged he had just voted
and encouraged all of his followers
and others beyond to do the same.

Lieutenant Scott Carroll, a valued
member of our administration and
operations division, who died unexpectedly
on November 3 at the
age of 56.
“A dedicated professional and
respected leader, Scott served

serving in the US Marine Corps.
He progressed through the ranks,
becoming a sergeant in 2014, and
lieutenant in 2023, contributing
to our criminal investigation and
special operations units. We appreciate
the community’s support
during this difficult time and
offer our deepest condolences to
Scott’s family and friends.”
On another posting this week,
MPD stated: “May his eternal rest
be a source of inspiration, motivating
us to continue honoring
his life and dedication to serving
with pride, both on and off duty.”
The department offered its
deepest condolences to Carroll’s
family and friends, and thanked
the Malden community for its
support.
Before he became a police officer,
Carroll served in the U.S. Marine
Corps for 18 years, beginning
shortly after his graduation from
Everett High, from 1987-2005. His
lengthy military service included a
deployment to Iraq. He was a “dedicated

one is considering his previous

through higher education.
Frankie DeCandia was a oneof-a-kind
son, brother, cousin
and friend who always had
a big smile and an even bigger
hug ready for everyone he
knew and loved. He lived his
life to the fullest, even when he
was diagnosed in 2006 with a
form of leukemia called CML. Although
Frankie fought valiantly,
he passed away from complications
in April 2008 at the
age of 23.
Just before he passed, Frankie
asked his best friend, Jason
Rossi, to tell everyone he said
“Hi.” When Jason asked Frankie
whom he wanted to say Hi
to, Frankie said simply, “Everyone!”
“Frank Says Hi” is a nonprofi
t organization founded in
2009 to honor and remember
Frank “Frankie” DeCandia. Each
year the “Frank Says Hi” committee
holds a fundraiser to remember
Frankie and raise money for
yearly scholarships. Since 2009,
over $75,000 has been awarded
to deserving high school seniors.
Frankie’s roots run Malden
deep. His parents, Frank and
Marcie DeCandia, are 1974 Malden
High grads. Frankie’s sister
Stephanie is a teacher at the Beebe
School in Malden, and Uncle
Dana and Auntie Marie Brown
are well-known around town.
This year the annual “Frank
Says Hi” fundraiser will be “Breakfast
with Santa”! The event will
take place on Saturday, November
30, from 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m.
at the Irish American Club in
Malden. Henry’s Catering will be
providing one of their delicious
breakfasts. There will be pictures
with Santa, arts and crafts for
children, tons of raffl e prizes, and
more! Tickets are available at the
door – $25 for adults and $10 for
kids with kids under three free.

• Coach (Witche) Exilhomme’s
Golden Tornadoes dropped a
heartbreaker against Lynn Classical
a couple of weeks back, 3028,
but the play of his little brother
Kevin softened the blow for a
short period of time. Kevin is a
senior and had the best game
of his Tornado career, with 7
catches for 144 yards, including 2
touchdowns – of 43 and 73 yards
– and a conversion catch thrown
in to boot. Way to go, Kevin!

and members of one of the most
well-known Edgeworth families of
them all. Their other two brothers –
Mike Powers is one of the best H.S.
hockey players ever to lace them
up in this city – and the late Brian
“Boog” Powers one of all-time
Malden slow-pitch softball greats.
In making his rounds that day,
one of his constituents mentioned
they had heard the news that the
Senator intended to seek a new sixyear
term in the 2026 election cycle.
“Yes, I’m ready to continue the
fight,” was his response, and then,
in an aside to those who zero in on
the age factor – “It’s not your age,
it’s the age of your ideas.”
Senator Markey also found time
to stop by the Malden High Baseball
snack table in the I-A lobby,
where he and wife made a generous
donation, and he obliged
to give the three players the thrill
of their young lives, a photo taken
with a sitting U.S. Senator – from
their own hometown, no less.
The Senator even excused himself
to go out and retrieve his very
own Malden High Baseball hat,
which he received as a gift while
attending a summer baseball
game earlier this year at Bob Rotondi
Field in Malden. “I leave it in
my car, because I wear it so often,”
he told the players. Then he was
gone, departed for another destination,
perhaps to another city in
support of some other Democrat
who could use his help.
But that’s Ed Markey – another
place to go, still another room to
make his own, as he has been doing
since he first made waves at
the State House in Boston close to
50 years ago.
“This is the most energized I
have ever been,” he told WCVB-TV
“On the Record” show co-hosts Ed
Harding and Janet Wu Sunday. The
Senator gives no one any other impression,
ever.
Let the next campaign begin.
***
Markey’s age not uncommon
for Massachusetts pols
As they say, age is just a number.
For Massachusetts politicians
at several levels of government,
they have very much taken this adage
to heart.
Age has crept to the forefront
of national politics as well, seeing
as how incumbent President Joe
Biden, the oldest sitting President
in history at 81, was convinced
into going from candidate for reelection
to lame duck in July after
a faulty debate with now President-elect
Donald Trump.
How about Trump, then, who,
at 78, will be the second-oldest
President – at age 82 – to live in
the White House should he finish
his four-year term in 2028? President-elect
Trump, who defeated
Vice President Kamala Harris in historic
fashion Tuesday, will turn 79
on his next birthday, June 14, 2025.
Guess who was born less than a
month later, on July 11, 1946? U.S.
Senator Ed Markey! He is 28 days
younger than Trump. Senator Markey
will also turn 79 in 2025 and he
just this week doubled down on
his announcement to seek another
six-year term in the 2026 election,
when he will be 80 years old,
He would be 86 at the conclusion
of that six-year term.
Even still, if Senator Markey did
complete that tenure, he would
not even make the Top 10 of oldest-serving
U.S. Senators all-time.
The oldest-ever was the late Strom
Thurmond, who served until he
was 100 years old. He passed away
in June 2003 at the age of 100.
Looking at the landscape of politicians
in Massachusetts, Markey’s
age is common among them, not
markedly older. Regardless, according
to Markey, “It’s not your
age, it’s the age of your ideas. And
I’ve always been the youngest guy
in the room,” Markey said on a local
televised talk show on Sunday.
Markey’s fellow Massachusetts
Senator Elizabeth Warren was reelected
to a third term on Tuesday
and is 75 years old. So is Mass. U.S.
Rep. Richard Neal.
How about another local pol
who was reelected on Tuesday,
Medford-Malden U.S. Rep. Paul Donato?
Reelected to a 13th term on
Tuesday, Donato turned 83 years
young on October 27, having been
born in 1941.
Senate Majority Leader Cynthia
Creem is 82, and Donato’s Medford
colleague, Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Medford,
Somerville) is 81. Mass. House
Speaker Ron Mariano turned 78
on Halloween and Senate President
Karen Spilka is 71. Secretary
of State William Galvin has been
at the helm for 30 years and is
now 74.
***
One of his candidates of
choice won on Tuesday,
though not the one for
whom he was sign-holding
If you were not paying close attention,
you may have thought
Dave Rimmer was out there the
whole time the polling place was
open on Election Day, Tuesday.
If you looked around the city of
Malden you may have thought he
was the only one holding a sign
– for any candidate – considering
the dearth of signs, anywhere.
But there he was, holding a large
sign across from the Irish American
Club, supporting Republican
John Deaton.
When asked on Tuesday, Rimmer
did not take credit for staying
out with the sign all day. “No, I took
some breaks, but it was a lot of time
overall,” the 1957 Malden Catholic
High School graduate said. He was
out there when the polls opened
at 7:00 a.m., left for a break around
10:30 a.m., returned around noon
until 3:00, another break and then
from 4:15 until the polls closed.
Though Deaton was defeated
and Warren reelected, 59%-40%,
Deaton did receive over 1.1 million
votes statewide. “I liked what [Deaton]
stood up for, he had a lot of the
same positions as [President-elect]
Trump,” Rimmer said. The longtime
Maldonian also backed Trump for
President, so one of his wishes was
granted Tuesday.
Rimmer did not go right into college
after graduating from Malden
Catholic, but instead began
working for Stop & Shop at Wellington
Circle in Medford and attending
night business classes at
Northeastern University. His family
wanted him to pursue a career
in law enforcement, but he chose
instead to go into the insurance
business, where he worked from
1963 until his retirement in 2004
at age 65. He just celebrated his
85th birthday.
Though his candidate did not
win Tuesday, Rimmer said he intends
on staying active in politics
and will hold a sign in the next election
as well.

Malden High students
learn “Civics in Real
Time” as poll workers
One of them has been involved
in politics – sort of – for a
couple of years now. The other is
a novice, but an eager one. Both
of them – Henry Fan and Shubham
Paudel – both members
of Malden High School’s junior
class of 2026, were hard at work
in a “Civics in Real Time” job on
Election Day as poll workers at
the Beebe K-8 School.
Fan got his feet wet, so to
speak, when he had a role in
Mayor Gary Christenson’s “State
of the City” video in 2023. He
then started working on a yearround
basis as part of the Mayor’s
Youth Employment Program
in various capacities. This election
season finds Fan working
at the polling place as a checkin
monitor, along with Paudel.
Paudel is also available to translate
in Nepali if the need arises.
“We enjoy providing assistance
to voters,” Fan said, “and being part
of the process.”
“We are learning a lot,” Paudel
agreed. “I did not know a lot about
elections before today.”

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8, 2024
MALDEN HIGH SPORTS: Another record-setting night for
Tornado Football in win over Chelsea Red Devils
Xavier Blaise returns interception school record 107 yards for TD; Malden
Boys Soccer notches win and tie just before season’s end
By Steve Freker
I
t’s been a longer road than usual
for Malden High Football this
season. Senior defensive back
Xavier Blaise took that theme to
an extreme on Friday night, October
18. Blaise intercepted a Chelsea
Red Devils pass deep in the
Malden end zone and did not
even hesitate. The Tornado senior
turned on the burners and blasted
out of the end zone and took
a sharp beeline toward the left
sideline. He juked one defender
at about the 25-yard line, and
after that it was all green. Blaise
raced all the way to the opposite
end zone for six points and a new
Malden High School record, with
a 107-yard “Pick Six.”
Blaise’s big return broke a nearly
50-year Malden High record set
in 1975 by senior captain Anthony
Jesi, who ran an interception
back for a touchdown 102 yards,

also against Chelsea, ironically, in
a 22-7 Malden win. The TD was
the first of two for Blaise, who
also caught a 27-yard touchdown
pass from senior quarterback
Aidan Brett just before halftime of
an eventual 47-12 win over Chelsea
at Red Devil Stadium.
The win was Malden’s second
of the season (2-4 overall,
1-3 Greater Boston League) and
first in the GBL this season. Malden
was back in action October
23 at home, falling to Revere, 2414,
and dropping to 2-5 overall,
1-4 GBL.

McGuffie were the top performers
of the night in the win over
Chelsea for Malden. McGuffie,
who leads Malden in every offensive
category, added two long
touchdowns to his season total,
on runs of 78 and 65 yards. Sophomore
receiver Manny Perez had
three catches for 47 yards in the
first quarter to spark Malden.
McGuffie – who has 8 TDs on
the season, tops in the GBL– finished
with a whopping 233 yards
rushing on just 12 carries (and the
two TDs). He is closing in on becoming
the first-ever 1,000-yard
rusher as a freshman in Malden
High history. He has over 700
yards rushing in seven games to
date, with three games left on the
2024 schedule.
Senior Malden captain Kevin
Exilhomme also had an impressive
night with five catches for 89
yards and two TDs. Malden senior
split end Johnson Huynh also had
a 24-yard TD catch, his first offensive
TD of the year, to go along
with two special teams scores.
Malden Head Coach Witche Exilhomme
was pleased with the result
and the overall performance
of the Tornado team. “When we
come to play, that leads to good
results. We got some excellent
individual performances from ‘X’
[Blaise], Jayden [McGuffie] and
Kervenson [“Kevin” Exilhomme]
and their teammates worked to
set them up for all their scores,”
the fourth-year Malden Head
Coach said.
Coach Exilhomme pointed to
the play of Daniel Da Silva and senior
captain Earl Fevrier as keys to
the Malden defense. Senior twoway
center and defensive tackle
Isaac Pineda also had a steady
game for Malden.
“Hopefully this team effort will
continue this week and carry us
RECORD SETTER: Malden
High senior Xavier Blaise set
a new school record when he
intercepted a Chelsea pass
in the end zone and ran it
back 107 yards for a Malden
touchdown in a 47-12 win.
Blaise broke a 39-year-old
record, which was 102 yards
when Anthony Jesi ran a “Pick
Six” back 102 yards for Malden
in the 1975 season, ironically,
also against Chelsea.

into Thanksgiving Day,” Coach Exilhomme
added.
Malden will have two non-playoff
games on the weekends of
November 8-9 and 15-16, with
the season finale on Thanksgiving
morning, Thursday, November
28.
Malden Boys Soccer earns a
win and tie to close out the 2024
season.
Sophomore Renato Serrao
scored his first career goal on Saturday
– and it was a big one – in
a 1-1 tie with visiting Methuen at
Macdonald Stadium. Senior goaltender
Thomas Tierney also excelled
with nine saves for the Tornados.
Sophomore Abdulmohalmen
Kalefa also played well for
Malden, against a solid Methuen
team which went to 8-4-5 with
the tie and had beaten Malden,
5-0, just nine days earlier.
In the Malden High soccer season
finale, in a non-league match
with Gloucester, freshman Ronald
Fernandes and junior Yasser
Belatretche scored goals to lead
Malden to its first victory of the
season, 2-1.

~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~
Congratulations,
President Trump
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to the
editor to congratulate President
Donald Trump on his amazing
mandate victory Tuesday evening.Also
to express my displeasure
with some of our elected officials
from our area. Congresswoman
Clark, your inflammatory
rhetoric over the past years
does absolutely nothing but
cause more people to be divided.
As an elected official representing
Malden, it is embarrassing.
Senator Ed Markey, your
sound bites on TV sometimes
do the same.This is not how our
elected officials should be conducting
themselves. This is not
how Tip O’Neil, Ted Kennedy,
or Ed Brook conducted themselves
in public.So come January,
please let's start fresh in Washington
and work with everyone
across party lines for the good of
all Americans. Together, we can
get America back on track.
Signed,
Kevin Larson

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8, 2024
Malden High Boys & Girl Cross Country excelled in fall season
Good Luck to Senior Slade Harding, who competes in the Division 1 State Championship this Saturday

By Bo Stead
T
he 2024 season proved to
be a productive one for the
Malden High Boys Cross Country
team. The troupe went 6-2 in
their overall record and placed
third in the Greater Boston
League Championship Meet.
Malden High Senior Slade
Harding placed second overall
in the meet and is now advancing
to the MIAA Division 1
State Championship Meet being
held this Saturday at Northfi
eld Mountain, Mass.
While every meeting was fi lled
with laughter, and the team simply
having fun, each senior had
their calendars marked for October
16. Of course, this was the
day set up for their Senior Night.
Girls Cross Country also held
their Senior Night that day. Senior
Nights are a time for coachCongratulations

es and teammates to refl ect on
the past years they have had
together as well as for seniors
to refl ect on their own time in
high school. For the cross country
teams, their Senior Night was
fi lled with music blaring over the
speakers, photos with friends
and family and plenty of running.
Despite the cold day, this
did not stop many of the players’
family and friends from showing
up to support the seniors on
their special night.
Sports do more than keep us
in shape and make memories,
they teach us lessons that we
do not realize they even give us.
Senior and captain Sean Retotal
said that “discipline” is what
he learned. “All the pain you go
through in a race,” Retotal said,

“it’s hard and you need that drive
to just keep going.”
Fellow captain Gordon Zeng
said that running cross country
has shown him that “Social skills,
life skills or athletic skills, it is all
about putting in the work and
being consistent.” Zeng added
that one needs to “go through
with things in order to make a
diff erence.”
Finally, yet another captain,
Slade Harding, said the sport
showed him how to “be honest”
with himself. Harding’s father,
Corey Harding, agreed, noting
how much he has watched Slade
grow over the years, because in
such a unique sport you need
an “individual drive” that you can
“turn on yourself at any time.”
With these seniors coming full
circle, from being young and eager
freshmen to wise and experienced
seniors, it is a surreal feeling
for many as they are fi nally
saying farewell to the team.
Harding said, “It’s pretty cool, because
I remember when I was a
freshman, I was pretty slow, and
it was always really cool looking
up to all the seniors that were super-fast,
and I was like, that’ll be
me one day.”
Ivana Marinkovic

Slade Harding
Retotal concurred, noting “it
does not feel real, it feels like I’m
in a movie.”
Zeng felt like it was a surreal
experience, concluding that “I
was once over there taking pictures
with them at the posters,
signing their posters, and now,
I’m the one having my photo
taken … I’m the one having that
poster being signed. Honestly, it
felt so great.”
Not only is this a time for refl
ection, but it is also one for the
classes under them to acknowledge
their departures. Junior
Sean Cochran remarked that this
group of seniors made a sport
that may “otherwise have been
boring” a little more “fun and silly
– they lightened the mood.”
Senior captain Gordon Zeng
expressed how much appreciation
he has for running cross
country: “It’s all about the community
here, when I started
freshman year I had no friends
except the ones from middle
school. The upperclassmen were
open and inviting and showed
me what high school is really
about.”
Coaches also play a massive
role in the athletes’ lives. Coaches
act as mentors and friends for
each member of these teams
and often have very special
bonds with the senior groups.
Coach Sean Weldon refl ected
that “it’s crazy the time that we’ve
put into the season, but also
that they’ve grown up so much
from the years they’ve been
here.” Weldon also expressed
how great it is for coaches to
watch players grow throughSEASON

Holiday Market returns to Malden for a festive day of local
shopping, craft ales and Cajun treats
T
he holiday season is right
around the corner, and Malden
locals are in for a treat! The
Gallery@57 and Idle Hands Craft
Ales are teaming up once again
to host the highly anticipated
Holiday Market. The Holiday Market
will take place on Saturday,
November 16, 2024, from noon
to 4:00 p.m. at Idle Hands Craft
Ales (89 Commercial St. in Malden).
This beloved annual event
is the perfect opportunity to

why the hiring process for Dr. Sippel
was not only intricate, but also
strongly community-oriented.
Malden School Committee Vice
Chairperson and Co-Chairperson
of the superintendent search
committee Jennifer Spadafora
shared how she and fellow CoChair
Sharyn Rose Zeiberg, along
with the search committee, prioritized
diverse representation. “We
wanted to make sure we had an
educator from each union that
was represented. So Unit A is
teachers, Unit B is directors, and
Unit C is all the paraprofessionals,
as well as parents whose students
represent every aspect,” Spadafora
said. “We wanted to have an
and enjoy the community spirit.
Located in the heart of Malden,
the Holiday Market will feature a
wide array of artisan goods. Attendees
can browse and discover
one-of-a-kind treasures
crafted by talented local artists.
From intricate jewelry to beautifully
crafted home decor, there’s
something special for every person
on your holiday list. Instead
of buying mass-produced items,
why not find a unique, handmade
gift that shows thoughtEnglish
language learner, somebody
that had a special needs
child, whether it was academically
or maybe medically fragile, and
then a general education student,
just making sure we covered all of
our bases.”
Along with the diversity of the
search committee, members had
one desired trait for a new superintendent
in common: They
wanted someone who would ensure
there be open communication
and collaboration between
administration and families.
Spadafora, whose two sons attend
Malden High School, said
that families need to be informed
about the administrative decisions
that directly affect their children.
Therefore, the search was

Aside from gift shopping, visitors
can enjoy a sampling of Idle
Hands Craft Ales’ latest seasonal
brews. Known for their innovative,
small-batch ales, Idle Hands
offers excellent craft beers that
pair perfectly with the flavors of
the season. And to satisfy your
appetite, the Revelry Food Truck
will be on-site, serving up classic
New Orleans-style Cajun dishes.
This year’s Holiday Market
focused on finding a superintendent
that would embrace and facilitate
these crucial exchanges.
Dr. Sippel’s beliefs align with these
ideals as he elaborated how “it is
really important to me to lead in
a way that is inclusive and collaborative.”
”I
am going to make a lot of decisions
because that is what I have
been hired to do, but I strive to include
people and get input from
them in decisions that are going
to impact them,” Dr. Sippel said. “I
continually want to consult with
principals, teachers, the teachers
union, parents, and students to
get their ideas on what the district
can be, what the district should
be, and what steps we should
take to get there.”
Even with the short time he
has had in the position, Dr. Sippel
has already begun enforcing
this collaborative initiative. “I live
by a general rule: collectively we
are a lot more intelligent than I am
individually, collectively we are a
lot stronger than we are individually,”
he said.
”The fact that he put that as a
goal, to listen and work collaboratively
with not just the adults
but the students, I think is exactly
what we need as a district,” Malden
High School 8th-year Principal
Chris Mastrangelo said, ”and
again, it has to be genuine, and
I’ve seen nothing but genuineness
from him so far.”
Recalling his roots in educaFULL

tion after attaining his degrees in
international relations and a certificate
in Latin American studies,
Dr. Sippel started his career
as a bilingual Spanish teacher in
Los Angeles with the help of the
organization Teach for America.
promises an afternoon filled with
holiday cheer, local art and delicious
food and drink. So, gathSince
then, Dr. Sippel has continued
to use his fluency in Spanish
to embrace inclusivity. “I have
tremendous empathy for our students
here who do not speak English,
not just students, but families
who don’t speak English and
who are far from their home,” Dr.
Sippel said.
“All of us, whether language
is the issue or not, whether it’s a
teacher trying to become a more
effective teacher or a student trying
to become better in a certain
subject or a family that’s having a
rough season, we can all grow,” Dr.
Sippel emphasized.
Spadafora further supported
Dr. Sippel’s focus on inclusivity.
She explained how, given Dr.
Sippel’s professional background,
she “knew that it would not be
overwhelming to come here, like
some people that have been interviewed
and might have come
from districts that are smaller but
Malden is unique.
”In the whole state, we are the
most diverse high school in Massachusetts,”
she continued. “I think
it takes a really strong person to
be able to lead a district where
every single student has the ability
to succeed.”
Within Dr. Sippel’s first few
months, other administrators
have noted how well his approach
to entering the administration
is going, and how it will
benefit his relationships in the
future. “You have to earn trust,
and that is the phase where we
build those foundations, because
things are not always going
to be great,” MHS Principal
Mastrangelo said. “Things will
get rocky, that is life, but if you
can establish a sense of trust and
er your friends and family, support
local artisans, and kick off
the season in Malden’s own style.
a sense of understanding that
is what gets you through those
rocky times.
“That is what [Dr. Sippel] is doing
right now and I think it is
wise. Some people come in and
they want to change everything
right away. Well, you turn everything
upside down and people
feel resentful, they get caught in
their emotions, and then we do
not move forward,” Mastrangelo
added.
Looking at overall goals for Malden’s
district, Dr. Sippel spoke to
how “Malden is a community like
a lot of urban cities, where public
education can make the difference
for children in terms of
whether they have opportunities
after high school.”
“It is not for us to decide for
them what they should do or
what they should pursue in life,”
Dr. Sippel said. “What we must do
is to make sure they are prepared
to have as many options as they
can possibly have.”
Dr. Sippel said he intends to always
have the best interests of
the students of Malden at heart
and to “constantly discover new
ways of supporting families and
educators to provide the educational
and social opportunities
that students deserve.”
“I want Malden to be the very
best it can possibly be. I want us
to offer a curriculum and classes
that put us at the forefront of education
that other schools might
not be offering,” Spadafora said.
“I want us to be the school that
they talk about in magazines
and say, ‘Move to Malden, this is
where you want your kids to go,’
and I think he can get us on the
road there, so I am excited.”

measures including extending remote meetings for public bodies. The same provisions
which permitted public bodies to meet remotely, or convene in a hybrid manner, have been
extended through March 31, 2025. This extension allows public bodies to continue to meet
remotely or to meet in a hybrid manner, without a quorum of the public body physically
present at a meeting location. The law requires that a public body provide “adequate,

• Yes, I’ve been called a “name
dropping, derriere kisser” by a
certain Maldonian but ya know
what? Sticks and stones and all
that jazz. Anyway, this one’s for
you, Douglas Tran, he of All Season’s

Douglas. We in Malden love
Douglas, the man who singlehandedly

said here’s what the Sunday Boston
Globe Magazine had to say
about AST in 2008 in an article
avvya yavvy eniiooravvy S iorn or
vy oiori
by Jim Miller
How to Write a Living Will
Dear Savvy Senior,
What’s the best way to go about writing a living
will? I’m approaching age 73 and in poor health
and would like to get this done without spending
a lot of money.
Need Help
Dear Need,
Preparing a living will now is a smart decision
that gives you say in how you want to be
treated at the end of your life. Here’s what you
should know, along with some resources to help
you write one.
What to Prepare
To adequately spell out your wishes regarding
your end-of-life medical treatment you need
two legal documents: A “living will” which tells
your doctor what kind of care you want to receive
if you become incapacitated, and a “health
care power of attorney” (or health care proxy),
which names a person you authorize to make
medical decisions on your behalf if you become
unable to.
These two documents are known as an “advance
directive,” and will only be utilized if you
are too ill to make medical decisions yourself.
You can also change or update it whenever
you please.
It isn’t necessary to hire a lawyer to prepare an
advance directive. There are a number of free or
low-cost do-it-yourself resources available today
to help you create one, and it takes only a
few minutes from start to fi nish. Some top options
include:
CaringInfo.org: This is a program created by
the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization
that provides free state-specifi c living
will forms that you can download, print and fi ll
out. Or you can call 800-658-8898 and they will
mail them to you and answer any questions you
may have.
MyDirectives.com: If you’d rather create a digital
(online only) advance directive, MyDirectives
is an online tool and mobile app that will help
you create, store and share a detailed, customized
digital advance directive.
FiveWishes.org: This is another top-rated resource
for creating a comprehensive paper or
digital advance directive. They charge $5 for
the paper form and $15 for the digital version,
which is stored on the website that you or your
family can access anytime.
VA Advance Directive: If you’re a veteran, the
VA also provides a free advance directive form
specifi cally for you at VA.gov/fi nd-forms/aboutform-10-0137.
Other
Options
If you’re interested in making an entire estate
plan that will include your will and/or trust, power
of attorney and advance directive, there are
many do-it-yourself online services that typically
run between $100 and $250. Some top services
include Quicken WillMaker & Trust software
(WillMaker.com), Trust & Will (TrustandWill.com),
and Legal Zoom (LegalZoom.com), which also
makes basic living wills for only $39.
Or, if you’d rather have a professional do it for
you, contact an estate planning attorney. See
NAELA.org or NAEPC.org to help you locate
someone in your area. Costs will vary depending
on where you live, but you can expect to pay
somewhere between $500 and $2,000 for a basic
estate plan.
Add-ons
You should also consider getting a do-not-resuscitate
order (DNR) as part of your advance
directive, since advanced directives do little to
protect you from unwanted emergency care like
CPR. To create a DNR, ask your doctor to fi ll out
a state appropriate form and sign it.
Another tool you should know about that
will complement your advance directive is the
Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment,
or POLST (sometimes called Medical Orders for
Life-Sustaining Treatment, or MOLST). A POLST
form translates your end-of-life wishes into
medical orders to be honored by your doctors.
To learn more about your state’s program or set
one up, see POLST.org.
Tell Your Family
To ensure your fi nal wishes are followed, make
sure to tell your family members, health care
proxy and doctors so they all know what you
want. You should also provide them copies of
your advance directive or if you create a digital
version, make sure you share it electronically.

titled “Northern Exposure - Malden
just might be the hotspot
waiting to happen:” “Modern
Asian décor, cheery lighting, and
wide-open space make AST the
place for weekend cocktails in
Malden. Hell, even mid-week,
the bar is hopping! And why not?
The drink menu is kicky and creative,
and the sushi is fantastic.”
• AST had barely opened for
business when these nice words
appeared on May 20, 2007, in the
Globe North section of The Boston
Sunday Globe: “Not bad for
a place with fl at screens, ikebana
fl oral arrangements, and fancy
hand soap in the bathroom.
When we left, Tran rushed over
to say goodbye. Meredith and
Jessica, he said, smiling, to prove
he had remembered. And with
that, we were offi cially charmed.
Most likely, there will soon be too
many customers for Tran to give
us that kind of personal attention,
but we’ll forgive him. We’d
rather the place get busy so that
is stays around for a long time.”
• Meredith and Jessica, just for
the record, in 2024 I would bet
my last dollar bill that Douglas
would remember both your
names. That is just how that cat
rolls.

of Danvers, formerly of Malden.
May his memory be a blessing.

Boca Raton, Fla., and Lexington,

memory be a blessing.
As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character
Columbo would say, “Just
one more thing, sir” – I recently
ran a picture (again) on Facebook
of legendary singer/songwriter/human
rights activist Stevie
Wonder playing at the Jenkins
Auditorium back in 1973.
The photo is going viral with tons
of comments and remembrances
of that fabled day. The photo
was taken by well-known Maldonian
(M.H.S. Class of 1973’s) Kenny
Mazonson. Stevie did a short
set of songs at the Jenkins at the
behest of one of our beloved educators
at the time, Mrs. Phillips.
The announcement came early
in the day that an “emergency
gathering for the whole school”
was to take place almost immediately.
For some odd reason, the
sophomore class was excluded –
so much for the “whole school.”
Once all were seated, to the delight
of the student body assembled,
our Principal Arthur Boyle
announced from the stage that
“Steve Wonder (NOT Stevie, as
he was known to all) was in the
Auditorium.” Stevie comes strutting
down the Auditorium steps
– accompanied by Mrs. Phillips
– decked out in all his 1973 glory!
From the story I have heard,
another educator, Mrs. Cliff ord,
had become friends with Stevie’s
manager while the Class
of 1973 were doing a Sickle Cell
Anemia Fundraiser. Although
sophomores weren’t initially invited,
as soon as word spread of
who was in the house, teachers
soon relented, and the rest of the
student body came rushing in. I
had a prime seat already. I had a
“study hall” across from the Jenkins,
and as soon as I got wind
of what was going on, I gate
crashed.
Mrs. Philip’s son Brian remembers
the day like this: “I was in
8th grade, only 14 at the time
and I really lucked out being
there. I knew Stevie was famous,
but I don’t think it really
hit me HOW big a deal it was
till he won all those Grammys a
few months later and the years
that followed. I was just starting
to discover music in general
and my own personal taste. Sadly,
I think I only have one picture
and it appeared in the yearbook
that year. I know there are others
fl oating around somewhere,
my mom, who orchestrated the
whole thing moved in with my
sister and her husband in Virginia
and photos she had are probably
packed away somewhere.”
Stevie played a short set. I remember
being awestruck, as
were most in the Jenkins that
day, Stevie being one of the biggest
recording artists of the day
and already on his way to becoming
an icon. We wanted it
to last forever; it certainly does
in ALL our memories, but Mr.
Boyle fi nally took the stage and
announced (and I quote), “Mr.
Wonder, the boys and girls have
to get back to class.”
Helen Mae (Battle) Phillips was
described as a “wonderful and
gracious woman” with a “gentle
spirit and caring ways.” She
passed away in April of 2014 at
89 years young. May her memory
be a blessing.

out the years; however, he will
“really miss all of the seniors” on
the team.
Fellow coach Michael Nicholson
explained that this year they
have “had an awesome group
of kids who have supported
the coaching staff and [are] always
doing their best to help
new kids.”
However, as many coaches
feel, Nicholson noted that he
is “excited to see what they do
with their lives, they’re going to
do so much.”
Looking to next year, sometimes
this thought might be
scary for teams that have graduating
seniors. For reassurance,
Harding urged the team to “stay
consistent no matter what,” and
Retotal affi rmed that the team
needs to “always keep pushing
even when things get tough.”
Zeng is hopeful for the team
next year when he has departed;
he expressed, “I have no doubt in
my mind the underclassmen will
become better runners and better
leaders than we all are, but
honestly I just want to see this
amazing team environment stay
the same way.”
Harding off ered a little piece
of advice: to “keep working
over the summer and always be
running and improving yourself”
and “It is always crucial for
off-season work to be put in
by athletes in order to perform
in-season.”
This team cannot be more
thankful for the wonderful group
of seniors, as well as captains,
they have had. Now, the seniors
are eager for what the future has
in store for each of them.

he Masachusetts State Legislature
increased the estate
tax exemption to $2million effective
for decedents dying on
or after January 1, 2023, pursuant
to Mass General Laws Chapter
50, Sections 36 and 37. Under
the prior law, the estate tax
exemption was only $1million.
Under the prior law, if the
descedent had a gross estate
of $1,750,000 and then
gave away $800,000 prior
to dying, then the federal
gross estate would be reduced
to $950,000. Although
the remaining gross estate of
$950,000 was less than the
$1million filing threshold,
the $800,000 in gifts would
reduce the filing threshold
to $200,000 ($1million minus
$800,000). The $200,000
became the adjusted filing
threshold. Since the remaining
gross estate of $950,000
exceeds the $200,000, an estate
tax return would have
to be fi led. The good news is
that only the remaining gross
estate of $950,000 would
have been subject to the
Massachusetts estate tax.
The bad news was that all
of the $950,000 would have
been subject to the estate
tax based upon the tax table
found in the IRS instructions
for the computation of the
state death tax credit found in
Table B of the Form 706 fi ling
instructions (1999 Revision),
the basis of how the Massachusetts
estate tax is calculated
to this day.
NEW MASS ESTATE TAX
EXEMPTION AND FILING
THRESHOLD
The new Massachusetts estate
tax provisions eliminate
this adjusted filing threshold
dilemma. As long as the
gross estate is less than $2million,
no estate tax return is required
to be fi led, irrespective
of any gifts made prior
to death. Furthermore,
if the gross estate is $3million,
the fi rst $2million is totally
tax free. The Massachusetts
estate tax on $2million
is $99,600. Our state legislature
has provided for a maximum
tax credit equal to exactly
$99,600. Therefore, only
the gross estate in excess of
$2million is subject to estate
tax in Massachusetts. Granted,
the beginning tax bracket
will be 8%.
As an example of how to
apply the new Mass estate
tax, assume a decedent has
an estate valued at $3million.
He gives away $1.1million prior
to death leaving him with
a gross estate at death of
$1,900,000. Since $1,900,000
is less than $2million, there is
no Massachusetts estate tax
return necessary to be fi led.
Taxpayers should at least realize
that it might very well
make sense to make a completed
gift of bank account
monies, for example, to children
or to certain irrevocable
trusts in order to remove
such assets from the taxable
estate. With bank accounts,
we are not concerned with
achieving the so-called stepup
in cost basis equal to the
date of death value, as we
would be concerned with appreciated
assets such as real
estate or a stock portfolio. In
fact, any asset that has not
appreciated in value could
be given away prior to death
to minimize or eliminate the
Mass estate tax.
