Bay Colony and “godfather” of Malden, Part 2 By Inna Babitskaya J oseph Hills compiled the colonial laws, including 86 clauses from Nathaniel Ward’s “The Body of Liberties,” into “The Book of the General Lauues and Libertyes Concerning the Inhabitants of the Massachusetts.” As Deloraine Corey, noted Malden historian and Hills’ descendant, wrote about him in “The History of Malden, Massachusetts,” “if he was not a lawyer by profession, he was so by his tendencies and habits and perhaps by education.” However, Hills’ activities were not limited to writing this book. As an energetic and active person, Hills prepared the copy for the printer and supervised the printing process, which would not have been possible without the other immigrant’s input. The prominent Rev. Jose Glover (1595/98-1638) from Surrey, England, decided to immigrate to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, fl eeing from Archbishop Laud’s persecution of Puritans. As a widely educated person, he understood the power of the printed word, and therefore, with the help of his friends, he bought a printing press for his new homeland. In 1638, Glover with his family, servants and printing equipment sailed aboard John of London to the colony. He was accompanied by a locksmith, Stephen Daye (1594-1668), whom he hired to work with the printing press (the contract for two years included payment of 100 pounds). Glover also paid for the transportation of Daye, his family and his servants. Unfortunately, during the passage, Rev. Glover became sick, died and was buried in the Atlantic Ocean. Daye’s contract with the reverend passed to his widow, Elizabeth Glover (1602-1643), who inherited a press. Elizabeth not only wanted to fulfi ll her husband’s ideas, but being the daughter of Reverend Nathaniel Harris – prominent in university and ecclesiastical circles – she also valued books. After landing in Boston, she decided to settle near the college to be closer to her printing business and bought the house of former Governor Haynes. The process of establishing the new business involved getting approval from the local magistrates and elders and finding a location to set it up. So, she purchased a house on Holyoke Street for Daye’s family.

In 1640, the “Bay Psalm Book” was printed. It was translated into meter by three ministers – Richard Mather of The first printing press in British America (1639) was put on the fi rst fl oor there. Daye began to work as a printing manager, together with his 18-year-old son, Matthew, an apprentice printer. In 1638, they printed “The Freeman’s Oath,” which was written by Governor John Winthrop in 1631. At that time, in order to become a freeman and a legal citizen, every man who was over the age of 20 and lived in a colony for at least six months had to take it. In 1639, Daye published “An Almanac for New England for the Year 1639” of the famous Capt. William Pierce (15901641), master of three ships Dorchester, John Eliot (the “Indian Apostle”) and Thomas Welde of Roxbury – and became very popular in the colony during the 17th century.

These creatures deserve to live in an environment that respects their natural behaviors and well-being.

This legislation ensures our Commonwealth is protecting these animals and promoting their welfare.” Kate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative Circuses and other traveling shows are known for fostering dangerous conditions for large animals. Fortunately, many major establishments, such as the Topsfield Fair, stopped displaying these animals in recent years. This law prohibits traveling acts, such as circuses, carnivals and fairs, from using certain large animals – including lions, tigers, leopards, bears, elephants, giraffes and primates – for entertainment starting in January 2025. Animals that live at the zoo, animals used for filming movies and non-exotic animals, such as horses, chickens, pigs and rabbits, are exempt from this new law.

My main man Bobby “Bobby D” DeVincentis reached out to gauge my interest in reliving the glory days of 2003. The 20year anniversary (last July 2023) of the girls in the picture winning the State Championship in the Little League Tournament – a year late; but better late than never, as they say, so here we are celebrating the 21st anniversary of these fi ne young athletes winning a title! Congratulations, gals, on the anniversary of this historic event! Bobby D. remembers it this way: “We matched up (I believe) with Worcester American in Winchendon winning a 2-1 8 inning game. Kaitlyn DeVincentis pitched the entire game throwing a 3 hitter, striking out 8. Playing solid D behind KD were shortstop Krystle O’Brien, center fi elder Anna Rigano, fi rst base person Keri Burgess, Sierra Gomes and Rachel Timmons holding the fort behind the dish. Off ensively for Malden Krystle, Sarah Graffam, Nicole Bolduc and Marina Rigano came up big for the Blue and Gold. The fi nal play of the game with Malden up 2-1 with a runner on 3rd with 2 outs on a passed ball Rachel (Timmons) from the backstop fl ipped the ball to Kaitlyn D at home for the fi nal out to win the 2003 Little League Senior Championship. Other girls contributing that day and all season actually were Raquel Sully, Ashley Guerriero and Maggie McCue. Amazing true fact, this team was undefeated in Massachusetts and didn’t lose a game until the regional tournament in CT.” How ’bout that 621 Tavern & Grille (right next door to the best packy on the North Shore, M & M Liquors)?! In days of olde it was the beloved “Roadside,” managing to survive and fl ourish over the decades despite the public’s fi ckle eating and drinking tastes – as well as ever-changing demographics throughout Malden. Kudos and thank you to the 621 and to the “First Family of Maplewood” – the pride of Webster Street – the DeVincentis, for remaining one of the last bastions in Malden “where everybody knows your name.” (“Patrick’s,” I haven’t forgotten about you.) A recent visit to the 621, sitting at the bar, brought a welcome visit from the host with the most, longtime Levine family friend Bobby D. BD greeted us with that great big DeVincentis smile along with the trademark DeVincentis fi rm handshake (a handshake worthy of his legendary dad, Joe Sr. btw). The pizzaiolo we devoured that night brought back memories of family road trips to the Regina in the North End in the 1960s – best in Malden since the Highland Café. (I hear tell the Salemwood Grille served a mean pie back in the 1950s/60s.) Can’t say enough good things about the 621’s outstanding ‘Za or any of the other Italian goodies and more they serve – always delizioso. Thank you for remaining in Malden, serving awesome pizza pie and (most of all) staying true to your Malden roots by being a place where old(er) geezers like me and Joe, Terry Mathews, Panama, Ralphie Kelley and Tommy Lubin are still remembered!

Ed and Carol were high school sweethearts, both graduating from MHS in 1951 and marrying in 1954 at the Sacred Heart Church in the Square next door to Topsy’s Chicken (no longer there, of course). In ’51, coach (Ed) Melanson’s Golden Tornados went 6-3 and beat back Meff a in the Thanksgiving Day game, 7-0. But Coach Wettergreen’s Golden Gale hoop team did not fare as well, going 6-9. Not to go down a rat hole, but the star hoopster on that squad was somebody I got to know later in life, not on the hoop court, but as coworkers at Faulkner Mfg. on Eastern Avenue. Both Moyle “Duke” Langille and I rolled awnings together for a couple of years, and believe me, “Duke” was what we called a “real character.” He would regale us with his hoop exploits at MHS (scored 42 one game against Quincy) and ya know what? Didn’t believe a word he said until we stopped working together and I spoke with a contemporary of his who confi rmed Moyle’s hoop prowess. In 1951, Jerry Romano (he of “Monkey Corner” fame) was class president and is one good looking dude! Beloved (future) MHS baseball Coach Frank Adorn is playing first on the baseball team (he later converted to catcher and is now enshrined in the MHS Athletic HOF). “Tall and attractive” Stella (Dantes) Pinkham is an adorable senior whose hobbies are swimming and skating. Happy belated birthday, by the way, Stella!! And look at Sheldon Lockhart with that fi ery red hair!! But I digress... according to his high school bio, Edwin L. Wood “is the good-looking fellow with the nice smile and happy laugh that sets everyone at ease.” He’s also a “nice dresser,” works “faithfully at Publix Market” and “loves to bowl.” Carol M. Kilgallon’s “love of stenography” fi nds her “doing an effi cient job as Mrs. Snow’s secretary” and “any office will welcome her gladly (when she graduates.)” Geez, I think the Blue & Gold staff could have been a bit more creative with your bio Carol (insert smiley face). Congratulations again to this lovely couple.

The mission of the program includes: “By teaching replicable best practices, providing expert coaching that goes well beyond mentoring, and off ering multiple opportunities for deep collaboration with peers, NSIP helps superintendents sharpen their focus on teaching and learning, transform their visions into positive student outcomes, and become successful instructional leaders capable of promoting substantive and realistic change at the school level.” At the September 9 School Committee meeting, Dr. Sippel introduced his coach from the NSIP program, Cynthia Paris, who attended the meeting and came to the podium to greet the School Committee and audience – and reported he had already attended meetings in collaboration with the program. According to its Program Structure statement, outlined on its website – www.masssupt.org – “NSIP seeks to ensure that each superintendent begins their fi rst year with a strong entry plan for engaging stakeholders and gathering the information needed to develop a widely-understood and focused strategy to accelerate student learning.” This is believed to be one of the fi rst times a newly hired Malden Superintendent of Schools has participated in the NSIP program, which has been in place for about Many lament elimination of Band and Spanish classes at Beebe School Several speakers spoke out against elimination of Band and Spanish classes at the Beebe K-8 School this school year at the Malden School Committee meeting. Some of the speakers were students from the Beebe School, who said they were disappointed with the elimination of the instruction at their school, having enjoyed the classes the previous school year. Also included among the speakers who spoke out against the elimination of the Music/Band classes were Ward 3 Councillor Amanda Linehan, whose ward includes the Beebe School and whose child attends the school, and Deb Gesualdo, President of the Malden Education Association (MEA), herself a Malden Public Schools Music Teacher at the middle school level at Malden’s Linden STEAM Academy. Councillor Linehan told the School Committee she also had a music program, having earned a Music Studies scholarship to the University of Connecticut in her college years. Malden High School Graduation Day for 2025 changed from June 8 to June 1 At the School Committee meeting (September 9), the members voted unanimously on the motion of Vice Chairperson Jennifer Spadafora (Ward 3) to amend the offi cial Malden Public Schools calendar. Specifi cally, the School Committee voted to change the date of the Malden High School Graduation Day for the Senior Class of 2025 to Sunday, June 1 from Sunday, June 8. The previous MPS central administration had set Graduation Day a week later than the traditional fi rst Sunday in June date, due to what ruled in reference to learning time hours. A review has been held since the start of the new academic year and the change was made.

From the local level to the White House, every elected official points to affordable housing – and the lack if it – as the #1 issue affecting the quality of life in the United States. Every member of the Malden City Council agrees as well, and at its first meeting back from summer recess, it was the marquee topic of discussion. Perhaps the top initiative that has the potential to affect local cities and towns is the inclusion of allowing the addition of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), or “in-law apartments,” of up to 900 square feet – statewide – in communities’ single-family housing districts. At the first City Council meeting of the new 2024-2025 political season, Ward 3 Councillor Amanda Linehan included a resolution inviting representatives from the city’s Office of Strategic Planning and DevelopWhat are the changes in Accessory Dwelling Units in the Affordable Homes Act? O n August 6, 2024, Governor Maura Healey signed the Affordable Homes Act into law (Chapter 150 of the Acts of 2024). Section 8 of the Affordable Homes Act amends the Zoning Act to allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) up to 900 square feet to be built by right in single-family zoning districts. The historic legislation authorized $5.16 billion in spending over five years along with nearly 50 policy initiatives to counter rising housing costs. The new law on ADUs is an example of a small policy change that will make a big difference. Massachusetts is a leader in finding innovative solutions to our biggest challenges. Rising housing costs and homelessness are not unique challenges for our state, but we can lead the way in solving them. Under the new law, an ADU must: —Maintain a separate entrance, either directly from the outside or through an entry hall or corridor shared with the principal dwelling sufficient to meet the requirements of the state building code for safe egress —Be either no larger than half the gross floor area of the principal dwelling or 900 square feet, whichever is smaller —Meet municipal restrictions, including, but not limited to, additional size restrictions and restrictions or prohibitions on short-term rental What are the benefits of ADUs? Property owner benefits: —Provides an additional rental income for property owners, which can help offset maintenance and repair costs —Low-cost housing opportunity for adult children and other relatives to remain in their community —Provides long-term options for seniors, either as an opportunity for caregivers to live close by or to downsize while remaining in their community Renter benefits: —Adds affordable rental units to the housing stock to meet the needs of smaller households —Long-term residents can stay in the neighborhood they love and know (work in) Benefits to Massachusetts: —Increases much-needed affordable and diverse housing opportunities —Provides accessible housing to seniors or persons with medical needs or disabilities and their caregivers —Compact growth makes use of our existing land use, structures and infrastructure, which can be more sustainable and far more economical than building a single-family home on a new lot —ADUs are smaller and utilize less water and electricity, making them a more sustainable housing option WinnCompanies WinnCompanies is working on a major project in Malden regarding Affordable Housing at the moment. Gilbert Winn, CEO of WinnCompanies: “The groundbreaking Affordable Homes Act will have an immediate impact on the Commonwealth’s housing needs by unleashing numerous affordable and mixed-income projects that had been awaiting adequate resources to move into construction. “It will deliver a tangible boost to our state’s competitiveness and quality of life. We’re very fortunate to have the Healey-Driscoll Administration and a Legislature willing to commit tremendous resources to well-designed programs that match urgency of the moment.” (857) 417-1936 Check Engine Light On?

It is important we are proactive on this issue,” Councillor Linehan added. Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe said she was surprised to see the original resolution on the docket. “The Mayor already has a team assigned to work on this issue. We have to have all parties involved: the parking director, the city planner, building commissioner. It’s a bit premature to request them now before they are ready to present,” she said. “Things are fuzzy right now.” Councillor Linehan agreed. “It’s going to be here before we know it. We have no problem waiting until our officials are able to provide us with explicit details.” Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora said there are some possible scenarios which could be problematic. “It’s clear … that in a lot of cases it is not going to be for a grandmother of an in-law. We are looking at situations where a four-family might try and go to a five-family or a five-family to a sixth apartment. “It’s a business,” he added. “It is under the earmark of affordability like the MBTA legislation but it could lead to more absentee landlords trying to make more money.” “There’s no parking and absentee landlords might see this an opportunity to try and make more money. [ADUs are] a serious issue and it is advantageous to slow it down and get some answers and guidelines,” Ward 7 Councillor Chris Simonelli said. “We addressed something similar 20 years ago and we have to closely see how this impacts us today,” Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon concurred. Councillor-at-Large Karen Colón Hayes supported more city officials’ voices to be heard on that matter. “We definitely need some information and we need people before us so the public can get a better understanding,” she said. “I was shocked to see this on the agenda just 10 days after getting an email from [Mayor Christenson] advising us his team had begun working on this issue. We have to at least give them four to six weeks to do their work on this.” “[Councillor Spadafora] is right. We really need to take our time and do what is right for [Malden],” Ward 8 Councillor Jadeane Sica said. “Landlords could try and work this and try to make another apartment and another $2,500 a month. If we added ADUs and another unit to some of the housing in my neighborhoods – there is no parking as it is – it would be even more atrocious.” “The dynamic housing is such a huge issues around the Commonwealth. In other states where they have [permitted] ADUs it has been a success,” Councillor-at-Large Carey McDonald said. “Maybe there are some opportunities where state money could help us and ameliorate impacts.” “I do really appreciate what the Mayor’s Office is doing and I represent one of the wards most heavily impacted,” Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley, who represents most of Malden Square, said. “How do we incentivize this [new ADU plan] without being invasive to the neighborhood?

In 1641, Mrs. Glover married Henry Dunster (1609-1659), a former teacher from Lancashire and Harvard’s first president since his arrival in Boston in 1640. Dunster revitalized the college by codifying its laws, creating its charter, establishing degree requirements and reuniting the students. When Mrs. Glover died, he inherited all her estate, including the printing press, which he later gave to the college. He hired Matthew Daye as the official printer instead of Stephen Daye, who was implicated in some fraud. In 1648, Matthew Daye printed 600 copies of “The Book of the General Lauues and Libertyes Concerning the Inhabitants of the Massachusetts” under Joseph Hills’ supervision. Hills wrote in his “Notes” that “I drew up in a book, close-written, consisting of 24 pages, in folio. For further improvement, the Gen. Court appointed me with some others to compose and transcribe the Second Book of Laws, copy-wise. I put forth myself...devoting myself thereunto for the most part of two years’ time.” According to Corey, the book “contained about fifty-six pages of text, and other matter may have filled out the sixty-eight pages of the seventeen sheets... It was carried to each town in the colony and was in the hands of all the leading men.” Moreover, it was brought to a few other colonies, where it affected their law-developing processes. Later, Hills participated in the laws’ editing and was appointed more times for that work than even Governor Richard Bellingham. This code of laws became the foundation for all the laws of New England, and later, of the United States. The colonists appreciated his work. In partial payment for his efforts, he received 500 acres of land on the Nashua River in New Hampshire and a remission of taxes in his old age.

Clean Wa~ Op-Ed ~ Statement from Senator Lewis on the MCAS Ballot Question I will be voting in favor of Ballot Question 2 that will end the requirement that a student must achieve a minimum score on the 10th grade MCAS exams in order to receive a Massachusetts high school diploma. I also intend to file legislation in January (at the start of the new legislative session) to implement an alternative, non-test-based, consistent and rigorous statewide graduation standard. Standardized tests like MCAS provide important and useful data about student learning and progress. Regardless of the outcome of Question 2, MCAS will continue to be administered in Massachusetts public schools, including in Grade 10. However, standardized tests are imperfect and cannot measure the full scope of skills, knowledge, and competencies that we want to develop in our young people and are critical for their future success. Standardized tests also pose particular challenges for students with disabilities and students who are not native English speakers. Research has shown that test scores are highly correlated with student demographics, like family income. I believe we can improve and strengthen our public education system for all students, especially disadvantaged students, if we replace the MCAS graduation requirement with a more holistic graduation standard. The legislation I will be filing will require all students (with certain exceptions) to complete MassCore, a recommended set of courses for high school students. MassCore was adopted by the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education in 2007 and is currently recommended for all students, but not required. Requiring completion of MassCore in order to receive a high school diploma would strengthen course offerings across all high schools, ensure that all students are receiving a rigorous education, and provide a consistent statewide graduation standard. My legislation will also consider other ways to encourage high-quality student learning experiences, like capstone projects, service learning, vocational/technical education, advanced coursework, and work-based learning. In drafting this legislation, I will be consulting with a wide variety of stakeholders and listening to the voices of students, parents, teachers, and school administrators. Moving away from a graduation requirement based on standardized test scores and replacing it with course requirements and other richer student learning experiences would also align Massachusetts with the vast majority of other states.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the percentage of times local senators voted with their party’s leadership in the 2024 session through September 13. Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 124 votes from the 2024 Senate session as the basis for this report. This includes all roll calls that were not on local issues. The votes of the 34 Democrats were compared to Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Creem (D-Newton), second-in-command in the Senate. We could not compare the Democrats’ votes to those of Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) because, by tradition, the Senate president rarely votes. Fourteen (41.1 percent) of the 34 Democrats voted with Creem 100 percent of the time.

Maura Healey a bill that would allow the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources to establish rules and regulations for dog kennels in the Bay State, to ensure animal welfare, protect consumers and keep kennel staff safe. A person who violates the regulations would be fined $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for a second or subsequent offense. Required regulations would include obtaining a license from the municipality, an annual inspection, dog to staff ratio specifications, injury reporting, indoor and outdoor physical facility requirements, insurance and minimal housing and care requirements. Supporters said that currently, the state has no oversight of dog daycare or boarding kennels.They argued it is estimated that a dog is injured or killed every 9 to 10 days in Massachusetts at these kennels. They noted that many families have suffered the loss or injury of an animal at a dog daycare or kennel that could have been prevented by commonsense regulations over these facilities. The bill was filed by Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford) in memory of “Ollie,” a 7-month-old labradoodle who was attacked by other dogs at a boarding kennel in East Longmeadow. Ollie needed round-the-clock care and surgery and was in the hospital for two months before succumbing to his injuries. While the facility was shut down by town officials, Ollie’s owner Ann Baxter was stunned to learn that there were no state regulations regarding boarding facilities, and soon took up the fight to help ensure tragedies like this never happen again. "Pets are family who provide boundless love and affection that we are lucky to receive," said Montigny. "For this reason, it is critical that we ensure all businesses entrusted with the care of our family adhere to proper health and safety protocols no matter what town they operate in across the commonwealth.Too often, we have heard devastating stories of pets like Ollie who have been injured or killed due to negligent care.These people have no place caring for such precious creatures and it's time that we implement consistent standards across Massachusetts.” RENAME THE MASSACHUSETTS REHABILITATION COMMISSION (S 2941) – Gov. Healey signed into law legislation that would rename the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission to MassAbility, a change that supporters say will better define the agency’s role in supporting residents with disabilities to live independently. They said the legislation also removes outdated and offensive terminology in the Massachusetts General Laws like changing “handicap” to “barrier;” “handicapped” to “person with a disability;” and “retarded,” to “person with an intellectual disability.” Supporters said the name change reflects the intention to empower individuals living with disabilities and move away from outdated terminology as the office undergoes broad changes toward a more expansive model for disability employment services and independent living. “Words matter,” said Gov. Healey. “This legislation ensures that the names and terms we use accurately reflect the strength and capabilities of the disability community, supports our goal of helping the people we serve achieve autonomy and independence and breaks down stigma.” “The new name MassAbility and language changes reflect both the state and agency’s commitment to inclusivity, because we know that words matter,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh. “MassAbility represents pride and self-determination. It’s about rights and equal access. It’s about building a future and being fully present and counted in the world.” “This historic legislation represents the state’s commitment to propelling the disability movement forward,” said MassAbility Commissioner Toni Wolf. “Language has the power to shape people and culture, tackle stigmas, biases and stereotypes. For too long, the words we’ve used have not reflected the strengths, resilience and determination of the disability community. This legislation changes that. We are changing life in Massachusetts for the better, making it more equitable, accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities.” “The new name MassAbility and language changes reflect both the state and agency’s commitment to inclusivity, because we know that words matter,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh. “MassAbility represents pride and self-determination. It’s about rights and equal access. It’s about building a future and being fully present and counted in the world.” ADD 225 LIQUOR LICENSES (H 5039) – Gov. Healey signed into law a bill adding 225 new alcohol licenses for the City of Boston over the next three years. Supporters said the licenses would be distributed across 13 Boston zip codes, expanding equity for restaurant owners in historically underrepresented parts of the city and boosting economic opportunity in communities of color that have been systemically excluded for decades. They noted that sit-down restaurants in Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, East Boston, Roslindale, West Roxbury, Hyde Park, Charlestown, Jamaica Plain and the South End now stand to benefit from the restricted licenses. They said that the high price tag of up to $600,000 for existing licenses has been a major obstacle for businesses looking to turn a profit, including in underserved neighborhoods. “Neighborhood restaurants play such an essential role in our communities and our economy," Healey said. "This bill will lower barriers for Boston restaurants to provide the services that their customers are looking for and help them succeed, while also supporting local nonprofits, theaters and outdoor spaces. $362 MILLION SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET (H 5050) – The House and Senate approved and sent to Gov. Healey a $362 million to help close out fiscal year 2024. Key provisions ratify and fund some 38 collective bargaining agreements and direct $228 million in funding for the American Rescue Plan Act Home and Community Based Services. Other provisions include $20 million to replace lost federal funding for victims of violent crimes; $29.7 million in early education and care subsidies to ensure providers can maintain access for all income-eligible families in need of childcare; $5.6 million for tax abatements for veterans, widows, blind persons and the elderly; $5.1 million to support increased demand for the Healthy Incentives Program which provides fresh healthy food options and supports local growers; and $2.1 million for Women, Infants and Children nutrition services to fully support the current caseload of recipients. “The funding included in this supplemental budget is critical, as it addresses a number of important issues affecting residents, invests in workforce development and ratifies dozens of collective bargaining agreements,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “Today’s funding will ensure that our workers get the raises they deserve, and that vital support systems across our state have the resources they need to close out the fiscal year,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “The essential funding contained in this supplemental budget will help fund important programs and approve numerous collective bargaining agreements that will help essential employees our commonwealth relies on,” said Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), the chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means. QUOTABLE QUOTES "[She] committed gross misconduct and demonstrated she is unable to discharge the powers and duties of a Cannabis Control Commission commissioner. I do so with deep regret because she has a long history of public service, and when appointed I anticipated she would lead the commission capably and in an appropriate manner. I expect my appointee’s actions to be reflective of the important mission of theCannabis Control Commission and performed in a manner that incorporates the standards of professionalism required in today’s work environment." ---State Treasurer Deb Goldberg on firing Cannabis Control Commission Chair Shannon O'Brien. "[The firing of O'Brien] whitewashes the unequivocal evidence that would lead any reasonable and fair fact finder to conclude that there are no grounds for removal and would immediately reinstate her to steer the rudderless shipwreck." --- Max Stern, the lawyer who represents O'Brien responding to the firing and indicating O’Brien will appeal Goldberg's decision to the Supreme Judicial Court. “Our cities and towns stand shoulder to shoulder with us in the fight against climate change. When we partner with them and provide tools and resources, we’re unstoppable. This news re-affirms that dynamic and is yet another reason to be proud of Massachusetts.” ---Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll commenting on a report from researchers at the University of Texas and the University of California-San Diego which cites Massachusetts as a nationwide leader in food waste reduction. “Too many kids breathe harmful pollution every day just to get to and from school. Electric school buses eliminate this threat to their health.” --- Deirdre Cummings, Consumer Program Director of the MASSPIRG Education Fund on MASSPIRG’s report that 434 clean electric school buses are committed, on their way or operating in Massachusetts.” "Greyhound must hit the brakes on excessive idling. Illegal and excessive idling not only harms our environment but also harms our health, especially children whose lungs are still developing. And urban communities suffer disproportionately from toxic, polluted air." --- Clare Soria, attorney for the Conservation Law Foundation, on filing a lawsuit against Greyhound Lines, Inc. for violating the Clean Air Act by unlawfully idling at the South Station bus terminal and at its bus lot in South Boston, releasing toxic emissions into the neighborhood. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of Sept. 9-13. the House met for a total of two hours and 40 minutes and the Senate met for a total of two hours and 44 minutes. Mon.

Thus, Malden was entering this one with a scaleddown agenda: 1) Simple offense; 2) Aggressive defense; and that old axiom from the Al Davis “School of Football,”...3) “Just win, baby!” Malden had plenty of confidence, coming into the game with the most teamwide experience than the last five seasons put together. Regardless, fourthyear Head Coach Witche Exilhomme and his coaching staff still came in with more question marks than “The Riddler” from the Batman chronicles. Just like when your coach tells the players that all the butterflies will fly away after that first good hit, so goes a lot of anxiety when somebody grabs the game by the throat and runs away with it – literally. Malden had already taken a 7-0 lead early when senior quarterback Aidan Brett had capped a 9-play Malden offensive drive with a 4-yard burst up the B-gap. Freshman Waslin Etienne’s PAT made it 7-0. Next up? Meet Malden High senior split end Johnson Huynh, #4 in your 2024 Tornado football roster. Like many of his teammates, Huynh was far from 100 percent physically, but deemed fit for duty despite being limited in practice for the past 10 days with various ailments. On his first touch of the day, Huynh fielded a Tech Tiger punt at his own 39-yard line, fake-stepped left and split two receivers and dashed to the right sideline; about 12-15 yards later, he was suddenly across midfield. And with 30 yards left – nothing else in front of him – he went all the way for a 61-yard punt return touchdown, the very first score of his Malden career. A conversion rush stalled and Malden quickly led, 13-0. Malden’s defense, led by senior captain Earl Fevrier and junior linebacker Zachary Johnson, held Tech to a three-andout and it was punt time again. Actually, it was #4’s time again. Once again, they boomed a punt downfield, and for the second time of the night, it was Johnson Huynh underneath, this time at Malden’s 43-yard line. There were no fakes and jukes this time. Huynh just used a hard and fast step, busted through the Tech first line and blazed 57 yards in all, back into the end zone. Quickly, Malden owned a 21-0 lead, and there were still four quarters to be played. By scoring twice on back-toback punt return touchdowns, Huynh tied a Malden school record first set in 1976 and then tied again on Thanksgiving Day in 2015 by the brother of the present coach, Danley Exilhomme, in running back the two punts for scores. “That was a huge boost for us and gave us a ton of confidence to keep going,” Coach Exilhomme said. “We were very happy for Johnson [Huynh] who worked as hard as anyone to get ready for this season and had been fighting through some injuries. He’s one of many of our guys trying to establish himself in a role. I think he really found one [tonight].” After surrendering a touchdown to Tech in the second quarter that cut the lead to 207, Malden would add to its lead with another score right before the end of the first half. Zach Johnson made a big hit on the Lynn Tech return man on Malden’s only punt of the first half, causing a fumble at the Tech 35yard line with 1:43 left to go in the second quarter. Malden senior Wyatt Dessert recovered for the Tornados, setting up Malden for one last drive. Malden inched closer and closer, and on the very last play of the first half, Tornado quarterback Aidan Brett hit fellow senior captain Kevin Exilhomme in the back of the Linescore Malden 27, Lynn Tech 20 Lynn Tech 0 6 8 6 – 20 Malden 20 7 0 0 – 27 First quarter Malden: Aiden Brett 4-yard run (Waslin Etienne kick) Malden: Johnson Huynh 61-yard punt return (rush failed) Malden: Huynh 56-yard punt return (Etienne kick) Second quarter Lynn Tech: Jadiel Ortega 2-yard run (rush failed) Malden: Kervenson Exilhomme 9-yard pass from Brett (Etienne kick) Third quarter Lynn Tech: Dereon Phipps 34-yard pass from Ortega (run) Fourth quarter Lynn Tech: Colin McGough 11-yard pass from Ortega (kick failed) end zone with a 9-yard TD pass, the first of each on the season for both players. Malden led, 27-6, at halftime, after Etienne’s third PAT of the night, and it looked like the home team’s assault on the scoreboard would reverberate through the stadium all night long. Unfortunately for Malden, all that commotion came to a screeching halt once the second half began. For the rest of the game, it was a stall-fest for the Tornado offense, with Lynn Tech hanging in there and making a serious bid for a season-opening upset. The Malden defense still played tough with some heavy contact, and for most of the evening, “bend and not break,” but Lynn Tech was still able to penetrate the Malden secondary and zip in two more scores to more than make it a ballgame. Tech Quarterback Jadiel Ortega, who had run in his team’s only score to that point in the second quarter, found the end zone with touchdown passes in the third and fourth quarters. Lynn Tech scored the only points of the third quarter for either team: a 34-yard TD pass to a wide open Dereon Phipps. In the fourth quarter, after a turnover on downs by Malden, Lynn Tech mounted another scoring drive and went five plays in lightning speed to cut the lead to 27-20 Malden with 7:55 left to play, Leading by one score, 27-20, with 3:38 left on the clock and having possession of the ball, the Tornados appeared to be on the verge of sealing the win with a time-eating drive. But Malden chose to try and punch in one more score to put the game away. Unfortunately, it did not work out that way, as two passes from Brett were right on the money, but one was dropped and other went off another receiver’s hands incomplete. Malden chose to quick-kick punt on fourth down with Brett doing the honors, and Tech had a life with just under two minutes left to play in the game, with the ball on their own 38-yard line. Ortega was far from done. He hit a medium range pass to Phipps for a gain of 15 yards to the Malden 47-yard line. The Lynn Tech QB then scrambled to the Malden 37-yard line before being stopped by being knocked out of bounds. With just seven seconds left to play, Tech had one last play, and a desperation pass by Ortega went off the outstretched fingertips of Phipps at the Malden 17-yard line with open green ahead of him as time expired. “It’s the first game of the season and it’s pretty chaotic at times,” said Coach Exilhomme in an online report. “Everyone is trying to find themselves and figure out what they have.

Brito sustained a broken collarbone in his left shoulder in the scrimmage versus BC High two weeks ago, and Hyppolite has been out with a knee issue for the past 10 days. “It is very tough not having James [Hyppolite] and Matt [Brito] out there on the field,” Coach Witche Exilhomme said. “Those are two of our best players and we really miss them. We can get by with other players like Zach Johnson and Kevin [Exilhomme] stepping up, but how much stronger are we with both of our captains out there on the field?”... Malden also saw continued progress from freshman standout Jayden McGuffie, a 5-11, 180 speedster who can play most every skill position offensively and defensively. “You always think you want to go slowly with the younger players, but Jayden is ready right now and he shows it every time he is out there.” McGuffie, who had two older brothers play (and play well) for Malden High before him, including Davian McGuffie last season, looks like he has a promising career ahead of him in a Tornado uniform... Malden senior 6-2, 265 Earl Fevrier was an absolute beast on both sides of the ball last Thursday, running people over out of the backfield, catching passes as a tight end and then steamrolling Lynn Tech running backs out of the Malden defense. “Earl [Fevrier] will definitely be a force to be reckoned with this year, wherever we put him,” Coach Exilhomme said.

(Burnett) Daugherty A longtime resident of Malden. Passed away on Saturday, September 14, 2024, at the Woburn Nursing Center. Barbara was born in Stoneham in 1943, the daughter of Eugene and Georgina Burnett. She was raised and educated in Malden, graduating from Malden High School with the Class of 1961. After her marriage to Kenneth Daugherty, the two settled down to raise their family. A dedicated wife and mother, Barabara was also a genealogy buff . She is survived by her husband CAPITAL GAINS TAX AND IRREVOCABLE TRUST M any people question if they place real estate into a Medicaid qualifying trust what will happen upon the death of the Donor/Settlor/Grantor some years down the road. If the irrevocable trust is drafted properly, the real estate will receive a full step-up in cost basis equal to the fair market value at the time of the Settlor’s death. Therefore, going forward, the original purchase price and improvements over the years become irrelevant. The benefi ciaries of the Trust are treated as if they paid fair market value for the real estate at the time of the Settlor’s death. Why is this important? If the children/beneficiaries were to sell the appreciated property shortly after the Settlor’s death, there would be little or no capital gains tax to pay. The capital gains tax to be paid would be based upon any further appreciation between the time of death and the subsequent sale. As an example, let’s assume the Settlor purchased his home for $500,000 with approximately $100,000 in improvements during the Settlor’s lifetime. The cost basis in the hands of the Settlor in this case would be $600,000. If the Settlor had subsequently transferred his home to an irrevocable trust, and died 10 years later when the value of the home was $1,000,000, the cost basis in the hands of the benefi ciaries would be $1,000,000. If the property were sold by the benefi ciaries for $1,000,000, there would be no capital gain, and hence, no capital gains tax to be paid. If, however, the Settlor had simply given the property to his children without first transferring to such an irrevocable trust or without reserving a life estate within the deed of conveyance itself, a future sale by the children for $1,000,000 would result in a capital gain of $400,000 with a corresponding federal (15%) and Massachusetts (5%) capital gains tax to be paid of $80,000. Depending on the other income of the children, the federal capital gains tax rate could be as high as 20%. Furthermore, you might also get hit with the federal “net investment income tax” of 3.8%. Instead of the total rate being 20%, the children could be looking at a total rate of 28.8%, or $115,200. When you simply gift an appreciated asset outright to the children, there is what we call a “carry-over” basis in the hands of the children. That is to say, the cost basis in the hands of the Settlor becomes the cost basis in the hands of the children. No stepup in cost basis occurs. This concept of a step-up in cost basis would also apply to appreciated securities such as a brokerage account, common stock, preferred stock, etc. Reserving the right to use, occupy and possess the real estate during the Settlor’s lifetime will result in a step-up in cost basis upon the Settlor’s death. Reserving the right to receive the income generated by the assets housed in the Trust would also result in a step-up in cost basis upon the Settlor’s death. In order to obtain the benefi t of Internal Revenue Code Section 121, which allows for the $500,000 capital gains tax exclusion for a married couple when the principal residence is sold, a provision allowing for a lifetime limited power to appoint Trust principal to charities will accomplish that objective.

From taking care of teachers, students, and staff at Cheverus School, to helping the CYO and CCD, hosting a coff ee social after the 9am Mass on Sundays, helping to run a food pantry, and being the Head Sexton at Sacred Hearts Parish, if anyone were looking for Tom, you would fi nd him smiling in the Church. His faith was very important to him and his life was a testament to that. He was also a Past Faithful Navigator of the Knights of Columbus, having received the Fourth Degree and serving under Santa Maria Council #105 of Malden and Council #104 of Wakefi eld. In addition to all of this, Tom enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He was gifted with the Irish gift for gab and even kissed the Blarney stone (though he didn't need its help for his talent of storytelling). You could often fi nd Tom sharing stories, usually with a life lesson included. Many of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were lucky enough to get to go on guided tours of his various job sites and stomping grounds throughout the years. He was a kind, generous, and open-minded man, who treated all as equals and thoroughly enjoyed making people laugh and spending quality time with others. He enjoyed his bowling league and was proud to carry the team with his handicap. He will be remembered for his smile that was everlasting. Tom was so proud of his family and enjoyed being amazed by the sheer number of them all. He was the father of Diane Greenleaf, Thomas McInerney, Jr., James McInerney, Robert McInerney, Jennifer McInerney, Mary-Helena Salch, and the late Mark McInerney and Charlie McInerney. He was also so thankful to have been part of the lives of his 25 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren throughOBITS | SEE PAGE 19 ׉ 7cassandra://ebVt2kcszT3NYZjr66WDocZJ13KeJFkika1Dt2Kz4w8*0`̰frWA{׉E&THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 20, 2024 Page 19 OBITS | FROM PAGE 18 out the years.

Offi ce with his son Bobby. “Woodsy” (as we used to call him) is good people and a 1976 MHS graduate with his hang being Lincoln Park with the likes of Vance Ferratusco, George Franey, John Stanasek, Jay Marone, Joey Frauton, Albert “Junior” Ford and a bunch of other stand-up guys. We caught up on our lives before Bobby mentioned the milestone anniversary. I chatted up Ed a bit before I congratulated tended public schools and graduated from Melrose High School in 1939. He then worked with his parents at the family’s poultry and egg business until it closed in 1960. Alfred then worked for several trucking firms, before going to work in Boston at Adams-Chapman, a poultry and egg distributor, where he worked until 1984. It was at Adams-Chapman that he met his wife of 59 years, Helen (Anguioni). Alfred and Helen were married in 1964, and lived in Melrose until purchasing a home a Malden where they lived for 47 years. When Helen was admitted to a nursing home in 2020, Alfred moved to Forestdale Park in Malden for his fi nal years. Alfred planted a vegetable garden for many years, and also him on this wonderful occasion and promised to give him and his bride fame (but no fortune) with a mention in my column.

Bobby was passing me by and asked if I would prepare something for the milestone which I instantly replied, yes!

He has some balance issues along with arthritis in his hips and could use a little more help than a cane provides. Wobbly in Wisconsin Dear Wobbly, When it comes to choosing a walker, there are several styles and options to consider, but selecting the best one for your father will depend on his needs, as well as where he’ll be using it. Here are some tips that can help you choose. Types of Walkers There are three basic types of walkers on the market today. To help your dad choose, consider how much support he’ll need. Then, pay a visit to a medical equipment store or pharmacy (see Medicare. gov/medical-equipment-suppliers) that sells walkers so he can testwalk a few. Here are the diff erent types he’ll have to choose from. Standard walker: This is the most basic style of walker that has four legs with rubber-based feet (no wheels), is very lightweight (5 to 6 pounds) and typically costs between $30 and $100. This type of walker must be picked up and moved forward as you walk, so it’s best suited for people who need signifi cant weight bearing support, or who are walking very short distances. Two-wheeled walker: This has the same four-leg style as the standard walker except it has wheels on the two front legs that allow you to easily push the walker forward without lifting, while the back legs glide across the fl oor providing support while you step forward. These are best for people with balance issues and are priced at around $50 to $150. Rollator: This is a rolling walker that has wheels on all (three or four) legs. Four-wheel rollators typically come with a built-in seat, basket and hand-breaks and are best suited for people who need assistance with balance or endurance inside or outside the home. Some rollators even come with pushdown brakes that engage with downward pressure and will lock if you sit on the seat. Or, if you dad needs to navigate tight spaces at home, three-wheel rollators, which don’t have a seat, are a nice option. Rollators typically run between $60 and $250. Other Tips After deciding on the type of walker, there a few additional things you need to know to ensure it meets your dad’s needs. First, be sure the walker’s height is adjusted appropriately. To do this, have your dad stand with his arms relaxed at his sides. The handgrips of the walker should line up with the crease on the inside of his wrist. If your dad is a large person, verify that the walker’s weight capacity will support him, and if he chooses a four-wheel rollator, that his body can fi t between the handgrips when sitting. Heavy duty (bariatric) rollators with higher weight capacities, bigger wheels and wider seats are also an option. Your dad also needs to test the handgrips to make sure they’re comfortable and be sure to purchase a walker that folds up (most do) for easier storage and transport. There are also walker accessories that can be added for convenience such as food tray attachments, tote bags for carrying personal items, oxygen tank holders, and tennis ball walker glides that go over the feet of a standard walker to help it slide more easily across the fl oor. For more tips on how to choose and use a walker, visit Mayoclinic. org/healthy-lifestyle/healthy-aging/in-depth/walker/art-20546805. It’s also a smart idea to work with your dad’s doctor or a physical therapist, and be sure to get a written prescription, as Medicare will cover 80 percent of the cost.
