help support programming,
including the operation of its
food market to over 8,600 Malden
residents and their full-time
childcare service for low-income
families. Despite facility closures
and restrictions during Covid,
the Mystic Valley YMCA ramped
up its emergency food and meal
distribution program and performed
Covid outreach. Supporting
nonprofits in general is
an allowable use of ARPA, particularly
given the difficulty these
organizations faced during the
pandemic in carrying out their
mission.
The Mystic Valley YMCA was
founded in 1881 and serves the
communities of Everett, Malden
and Medford. Governed by
a 17-member Board of Directors,
they employ 165 staff and 80
volunteers and provide services
to over 28,000 individuals each
year. Operating from their facility
in Malden, the YMCA serves
residents of all ages in these
communities.

WINTER WALLOP:
Region gets smacked with messy
mini-nor’easter overnight Thursday
Two days after temperature was 62 degrees, winter charges back
and dumps 4 inches of snow: most snowfall of season so far
By Steve Freker
A
messy mini-Nor’easter
complete with heavy snow,
sleet and cold rain smacked
the Greater Boston and North
Shore region hard in the early
morning hours Thursday. The
late-developing storm began
with a drastic drop in temperature
into the mid-30s by midday
Wednesday, followed with
a slushy mix of sleet, rain and
snow up until about 1:00 a.m.
Thursday.
The thermometer went well
below freezing into the high
20s after midnight, and heavy
snow fell from about 1:00 to
5:00 a.m., dumping up to four
inches of snow in The Advocate
readership area of Everett,
Malden, Revere and Saugus.
This was the largest snowfall
in one day in the entire 20222023
winter to date, in what
has been a relatively mild seaMUSINGS|

son. Just two days earlier on
Presidents’ Day, Monday, Boston
set a new February 20 high
temperature record of 63 degrees.
All
the elements of weather
combined to make it into
a mini-nor’easter and sloppy,
slow commute for the hundreds
of thousands of residents
making their way to
work early Thursday morning.
The snow continued in
light fashion for several hours
more during the day on Thursday,
with not much accumulation.
City and town DPW crews
and hired help were out in the
early morning hours clearing
the streets and roadways
and spreading salt and sand
for safety. State and local police
reported a number of motor
vehicle accidents both on
the highways and in cities and
towns due to the hazardous
travel conditions and timing
of the storm.
The local communities did
dodge a potential major issue
which could have posed
a problem, as all public and
parochial schools in the region
were closed this week
due to February School Vacation.
While personnel were
out clearing the snow from the
school facilities as usual during
the storm, it most definitely
would have been a “Snow
Day” for schools due to the
timing of the snow and other
weather conditions. It would
have been highly unlikely the
snow could have been cleared
around sidewalks and on the
stairs of the schools to make
for safe passage.
The weather pattern is forecast
to remain sketchy – and
more wintry! – for the rest of
the month, into March. Colder,
more seasonal temperatures
in the high 30s and low
40s are sticking around for the
next two weeks, according to
Accuweather, with more snow
expected mid-to-late week,
March 1-3, and again, snow is
forecast for March 8-10 as Ole
Man Winter apparently wants
to get his last blasts in before
spring officially arrives on Sunday,
March 20.

Bob Rotondi Speaks
By Peter Levine
I
t’s Bob Rotondi’s world, we
just live in it. Let’s take a few
moments out of our busy lives
to take a stroll down Malden
Memory Lane. It’s a glorious trip,
a trip that is remembered fondly
by those who took the original
one but a trip that could be
of equal joy to those amongst us
that have recently chosen Malden
as their home. The memory
bank overfl ows – the past
vivid – with each Maldonian
capturing in their mind’s eye
their own unique journey from
their own unique corner of the
world. God’s country: Malden,
Mass. With each passing day we
lose yet another voice of those
whose (oral) histories need to be
remembered. There are “8 million
stories in the Naked City”
with Richie Cremone, Dee Carter,
Phil Longo, Neal Spadafora,

With that said, I ain’t saying
Bob Rotondi is ready to meet
his maker – Bob is in it for the
long haul (tough like one of
those well-made Rawlings baseball
gloves!). I’m just saying as
a community we need to hear
more from him – and more from
men of a certain age – just like
Bob (insert smiley face). I bring
to you a wonderful communication
from Bob. Bob is a loyal
reader of this column, and I
am always gobsmacked when
I hear from him, whether it is to
enlighten me (again) or to just
let me know that I got it fl at out
wrong (again). He’s there for me.
For that, I thank you, Sir. Let’s
have at it:
“Pete, when Neal Anderson retired
from the City Council, you
wrote of the many years of public
service he had accumulated.
Many, many, years indeed. Truly
one of Malden’s legends. An articulate,
aff able, giant of a man.

to emcee an event. But hark!
I'm challenging the Honorable
One in years of service. Right

since (now called the Redevelopment
and Strategic Planning
Board). These appointments, I
must point out, were consecutive
– 54 years. Chairman of the
Recreation Board in 1969, my
fi rst year, was Clem Stefanilo. His
son, ‘Red,’ worked for Malden’s
DPW for many years. His grandson,
Red’s son, played hockey for
me on the old Malden Maroons.
In 1969 Clem did double duty, as
i believe he was in charge of the
local draft board also. He served
with many of Malden’s greatest
residents over the years on both
Recreation and Redevelopment
Boards. So, so many. They all
took great pride in the various
projects that were completed
over the years they served. As
many did in those days. Sometimes
it took years to get things
done. But it got done. I wanted
a giant clock in the Square. It
took forever. When the Lincoln
School was demolished to make
way for park land, the plans continued
to read Lincoln ‘PARK’. I
kept on the board to call it Lincoln
COMMON. It took maybe
a year, but it stuck, and is now
called, ‘Commons.’ I have cherished
serving my hometown all
these years. Sure, it’s changed.
That’s to be expected. Over 50
years has allowed me to see several
changes. I encourage more
of Malden’s ‘tenants’ to become
involved. Peter, your words get
better with age. Just think how
clever you’ll be when you hit

mentioned Preacher Jack in
at least six months. Insert smiley
face. In 1981 Preacher Jack
was touring solo on his second
Rounder release, “3,000 Barrooms
Later.” He’s doing a bunch
of solo one-night stands in Toronto
(Canada) accompanied
by his (then) manager and (forever)
spiritual adviser, his future
wife, Jessie Filtrante. He’s sharing
a stage with Ry Cooder for part
of the tour. Cooder played at various
times in his long and successful
career with The Rolling
Stones, Captain Beefheart and
bluegrass superstar Bill Munroe.
Also, on that long ago tour traveling
the same long, lonely byways
and highways, but just the
night before Jack’s gigs, was a
young John Prine. Jack and Jessie
would have coff ee, smokes
and “holy herb” with John when
their paths would cross on their
travails. An 11-minute video recently
popped up on YouTube
of a fresh-faced couple, Preacher
Jack and Jessie, being interviewed
on February 16, 1981, by
“New Music Toronto TV.” The interviewer
escorts Jack and Jessie
into a coff ee shop and asks
a question or two before Jack
goes into a familiar Preacher
Jack fi libuster. Classic Jasper

Polymnia Choral Society set to perform Considering Matthew Shepard on March 5
T
he Polymnia Choral Society
of Melrose will perform
the ground-breaking oratorio,
Considering Matthew Shepard,
on Sunday, March 5, at 3:30
PM, at the Performing Arts Center
at Melrose Veterans Memorial
Middle School, 350 Lynn
Fells Parkway, Melrose, MA. The
doors will open at 2:30 PM.
Originally scheduled for
March 2020, the concert fell
victim to the COVID pandemic.
Polymnia has waited
three years for the local premier
of this Grammy-nominated
work, composed by
Craig Hella Johnson and conducted
by Polymnia’s Artistic
Director, Murray Kidd. The
choral ensemble consists of
over 50 members of Polymnia
Choral Society and 20 students
from the Bedford High
School honors choir. The performance
will feature professional
baritone soloist Craig
Juricka. There will also be an
8-person orchestra of professional
musicians.
Matthew Shepard, a 21-yearold
gay student, was brutally
attacked and left to die in Laramie,
Wyoming, in 1998. Subsequently,
his parents, Judy and
Dennis Shepard, founded the
Matthew Shepard Foundation
to honor their son’s life and to
highlight the importance of
standing up for the LGBTQ+
community. The world’s reacMUSINGS

Malden roots, political consultant
with serious chops, Michael
Goldman. Political junkies
and Maldonians of a certain
age will recognize the name
Michael Goldman but mostly
he flies under the radar. Former
Governor Deval Patrick, (the
late, great) Teddy Kennedy, former
Boston Mayor (current U.S.
Secretary of Labor) Marty Walsh,
and former Governor Mike Dukakis
– you name a Democratic
political goo goo muck in Massachusetts
in the past 35 or so
years and Mike has had a hand
in their success. For somebody
who has moved in the circles
that Mike has moved in there is
not a more down to earth person
walking planet earth. Heck,
even resident contrarian, and
the scourge of all Massachusetts
‘moon bats’ the Heralds’ Howie
Carr likes Mike! But I digress...
Maura met with Mayor Christenson,
Kathleen Manning-Hall,
Maria Luise, Kevin Duffy, (then)
Ward 2 Councilor Steve Ultrino,
and State Senator Jason Lewis
in the war room at City Hall
and was briefed on all the good
things happening in our fair city
at that time in history. We took a
tion to the horrific hate crime
inspired Johnson to create the
oratorio as a space for reflection,
consideration, and unity
around Shepard’s life.
The oratorio uses many musical
styles including classical,
contemporary, spoken word,
Gregorian chant, Broadway,
and country music, to tell the
story of Matthew Shepard’s
life, murder, and legacy. The
chorus will be accompanied by
a live orchestra of professional
musicians from the greater
Boston area. The audience will
experience deeply meaningful
and moving songs. Following
the performance, a talkback
session will allow audience
members time to consider
the underlying lessons
of the tragedy.
While the piece focuses on
the horrific death of Shepard,
a white man, Polymnia feels it
is of equal importance to acknowledge
that James Byrd Jr.,
a Black man, a husband, and a
father of three children, was
also murdered a few months
before Matthew on June 7th,
1998. Byrd’s murder was the result
of a racially motivated attack
by known white supremacists.
Both Byrd’s and Shepard’s
deaths were the catalyst for the
creation of the Matthew Shepard
and James Byrd Jr. Hate
Crimes Prevention Act, which
was signed into law in 2009 by
walk down Pleasant Street and
stopped at a couple of anchors
of the Square in those days. First
stop was “Oppa’s Kitchen & Bar”
where we were greeted by the
big boss, Tony. Next up was Mystic
Station. I finally got to meet
the new owner in person, Bryan
Palazzola. Craft Beer heaven
with surprise employee, straight
outta Edgeworth, Karen Picardi
behind the stick. After, we
stood outside, took a few pictures,
and wished Maura good
luck. I found Maura to be down
to earth with a firm handshake,
looking directly into your eyes
(and not over your shoulder).”
Goes a long way with me when
meeting a politician who wants
my vote.
Postscript 1: Congratulations
to you, Ms. Healey – Governor
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts!
Postscript
2: Bob, I am sure I
speak for many, my/our sincerest
condolences on the loss of
your sister Diane.

President Barack Obama.
The oratorio allows the singers
and the audience members
to learn about and reflect on
the complicated history and
current realities of hate crimes
in this country. To honor both
tragic murders and help provide
educational resources to
our patrons, there will be representatives
on-site from organizations
that support both
the LGBTQ+ community and
local racial justice programs.
These groups will have information
available to help teach
audience members about their
services and offer educational
materials.
Because of the serious nature
of this concert’s subject matter,
consider it as you would a PG13
show. This program is supported
in part by a grant from
the Mass Cultural Council, a
state agency. Additional sponsors
include, but are not limited
to, the Melrose Cultural Council,
the Melrose Bank Foundation,
Cabot Risk Strategies, and
The Ward Group. This concert
would not be possible without
their support. Tickets for the oratorio
can be purchased ahead
of time at https://polymnia.

ways its residents and others
have contributed to the fabric
and culture of the community
in the past year.
In addition to reviewing 2022,
Mayor Christenson is also expected
to have a "reveal" or possibly
several of them to make on
March 1st for Malden's citizens
and municipal employees and
staff . This would be something
that has not been made public
before next Thursday; always a
great reason to tune in.
This will be the third year the
"State of the City" has been presented
online via YouTube. The
previous presentations in 2021
and 2022 were very well-received
and this form has become
popular with residents
and staff , as were the in-person
events in previous years as presented
by the Mayor.
One popular addition each
year in the "State of the City" has
been the inventive "themes" of
the presentations. Last year, the
theme was "Nedfl ix," a takeoff
on the Malden mascot name of
"NEDLAM".

Triangle, Inc. awarded state grant to expand
racial equity and disability justice work
$140K grant will support the work of
Triangle’s Racial Equity Task Force
T
riangle, Inc., a 50-year-old nonprofit
based in Malden that
serves people with disabilities
and their families, was awarded
a $140,000 state grant to expand
its ongoing racial equity and disability
justice work within the organization’s
workplace. Triangle
was among 85 community organizations
to receive more than $46
million in Home and Community-based
Services (HCBS) and Human
Services Workforce grants
through the Executive Office of
Health and Human Services (EOHHS)
for training, recruiting or retaining
the HCBS and human service
workforce in Massachusetts.
“We are incredibly grateful for
this grant,” said Triangle, Inc. CEO
Coleman Nee. “It is essential to educate
all our employees on matters
of racial equity and disability
justice to help them thrive in a diverse,
modern workplace. Our ongoing
racial equity and disability
justice eff orts are essential to our
mission and to building a strong,
inclusive workplace culture. Triangle
is committed to enhancing diversity,
equity and inclusion.”
In June 2020, a group of Triangle
employees formed the organization’s
fi rst Racial Equity Task Force.
The group developed and distributed
a survey to all Triangle staff
members to better assess the need
for future racial equity work within
the organization and to learn more
about their unique experiences at
Triangle. The survey results showed
a need to address Triangle’s workplace
culture and to make sure that
all members of the Triangle staff are
represented, respected and heard
regarding matters of diversity, equity
and inclusion.
In response to the survey, the Racial
Equity Task Force and the organization’s
executive leadership and
Board of Directors hired Lovelace
Consulting Services, Inc., an internationally
respected Racial Equity
consulting fi rm, to learn more
about Triangle’s needs and to facilitate
follow-up steps. Additionally,
Triangle reexamined its own internal
policies related to disability inclusion
in the workplace.
The grant, which was awarded
in December, will allow Triangle to
continue and expand its racial equity
and disability justice work for the
next 18 months. That work includes:
• Continued monthly Racial Equity
training sessions for all staff
members.
• Development and implementation
of quarterly Disability Justice
trainings for staff members across
the organization that will provide a
deeper understanding of disability
history, workplace disability inclusion,
and ableism.
• Development and implementation
of monthly Disability Justice
micro-trainings for new hires that
will be included as part of the Human
Resources orientation process.
• Support a portion of Triangle’s
Human Resources Recruitment
Specialist’s time dedicated to developing
strategic recruitment initiatives
and adopt best practices
as the organization expands pipelines
for new hires that refl ect the
diversity of its client and participant
population.
• Support a portion of Triangle’s
Human Resources Director’s time
as they develop new organizational
policies that will ensure the
examination of all current but outdated
staff policies to build a more
inclusive culture that de-emphasizes
structural racism and adopts
best practices that encourage the
hiring and promotion of diverse
candidates.
• Support for a third-party ombudsman
or representative who
will serve as an external resource
for Triangle staff members to voice
any concerns or violations of organizational
policy related to Racial
Equity or Disability Justice.
These initiatives will help Triangle
build a transformed culture among
existing staff members that emphasizes
their unique identities as
an asset to the organization. In addition,
this ongoing work will allow
Triangle to establish stronger
recruitment, hiring and retention
practices.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 24, 2023
Jr. Aid Association of Malden returns successful Handbag Bingo
O
n Friday, February 17, the Junior
Aid Association of Malden
brought back their highly
sought-after event, Handbag
Bingo, for the first time since
2019. The Ballroom at Anthony’s
of Malden was filled with
a sellout crowd of 400 guests. If
you were lucky enough to get
your hands on a ticket, you were
encouraged to wear red attire
to show support of American
Heart Month.
The Junior Aid Association of
Malden is led by President Susan
Higgins. The nonprofit organization
has 40 dedicated, hardworking
women who share one
common goal: raise funds for
women, children and health-related
issues – and have fun while
doing it! Handbag Bingo was
just that, a fun-filled and successful
fundraiser planned by
Handbag Bingo Chairwoman
Helen Kipnis along with Committee
Members Mary Ann Cutler,
Mary Doucette, Barbara LaMattina
and Jaclyn Rosa.
The event included playing
Bingo for designer handbags
that were donated by the organization
and its members. Anthony
of Malden’s lobby was
filled with raffle items, including
gift cards donated from local
businesses like Nicolo Salon
(Melrose), Gloss Nail Studio &
Spa (Melrose), Wellness & Aesthetics
with Sonia (Peabody)
and Hair Matters (Methuen).
Handbag Bingo raised $20,000
to benefit women, children and
health-related issues in Malden
and surrounding communities.
Local high school students
volunteered for community service
to assist the Handbag Bingo
Committee with planning: Cora
and Ella Holden and Áine LaFaci
from Masconomet Regional
High School, Diane Pedrini from
Arlington Catholic and Shawn
Newman from Malden Catholic.
You could hear the laughter
of the crowd pouring out onto
Canal Street – caused by the
Masters of Ceremonies, Greg
Rosa and Scott Cutler, who kept
guests smiling all night long.
“On behalf of the Junior Aid
Association of Malden, I would
like to express my gratitude to
all those in the community who
supported Handbag Bingo. We
were so excited to finally hold
a large fundraiser again! The
event was a success because
of so many: our members’ donations,
the guests who purchased
tickets, local businesses
who donated towards our
raffles, the student volunteers
and our charismatic MCs. Anthony’s
of Malden provided us
with a great venue and a delicious
meal for our guests. I’d especially
like to thank the Handbag
Bingo Committee who dedicated
months to planning this
amazing event. Their hard work
shined through!” said President
Susan Higgins.
The Junior Aid Association
of Malden has been a fixture in
Malden for over 110 years. They
are dedicated to providing financial
assistance to charitable
organizations throughout
Malden and the surrounding
communities. To keep up with
all the great things they have
planned for the community, follow
them on Facebook or Instagram.
Grant opportunities will
be forthcoming in 2024.

ELECTION | FROM PAGE 1
date announced for City Council
so far this municipal election
year is lifelong Malden resident
Sheila Rachels, who said in an
online report in January that she
intends to run for Ward 2 Councillor
and that she had filed paperwork
in the Malden City
Clerk’s Office to organize a campaign
committee. At the time,
Councillor Condon had not announced
if he would seek reelection
(and still has not, aside
from the boost from the estimable
scribe Levine). If the cards fall
as expected, Councillor Condon
will be squaring off with at least
one challenger this fall.
Our speculation, as we can spy
the caboose on the month of
February pulling up to the gate
early next week? In addition to
Colón Hayes, Condon and Linehan,
the Advocate formally forecasts
that all of the incumbents
on the City Council eventually
announce they will seek reelection
to their posts for another
two-year term. If this year’s municipal
political fray resembles
anything close to the last one
in 2021, where six Ward Councillors
were challenged and there
was a wide-open race for Councillor-at-Large
with a rare two
open seats, we could be in for
quite an election year.
On the School Committee
side, only Ward 6 representative
Joseph Gray has come out and
said he would seek reelection,
for what would be his third term.
We will once again forecast that
all eight of the ward incumbents
will seek another term on School
Committee.
As for challengers? We have
heard of none as of this week.
We also expect this will all become
clear sooner rather than
later, so as to get a head start
on campaign season. Everyone’s
personal calendar gets fuller and
fuller each year, and those filing
dates jump out at candidates
like speed bumps on the road.
The Advocate intends to
check in with each of the incumbents
on both municipal governing
bodies and see where
they stand as for the 2023 election
and will inform our readers
of the same. Stay tuned.
****
Mayor Christenson is
now running unopposed;
will it stay that way the
rest of the campaign?
Malden Mayor Gary Christenson
announced at an October
campaign event he will be
seeking a fourth four-year term
in this upcoming fall’s municipal
election. If reelected, it is believed
Mayor Christenson would
equal his predecessor, Richard
Howard (1996-2012) as the
longest-serving Mayor in Malden’s
history, in completing 16

A few restaurants and other

2023 is a Municipal Election
year and also a Mayoral
Election Year with the Mayor’s
post and positions on the City
Council and School Committee
in contention.
years as the city’s CEO in 2027.
First elected in 2011, he would
also be the first Mayor elected
to four consecutive four-year
terms and the third to be elected
to four consecutive mayoral
terms of any length, since Howard
in the 1990s up to 2012 and
former Mayor Walter Kelliher in
the 1960s into the 1970s.
So, after being challenged in
the open seat election of 2011
and defeating former fellow City
Councillor Kathryn Fallon, running
unopposed in 2015 and
defeating former Councillor
John Matheson in 2019, is the
same pattern arising here? Will
Mayor Christenson be running
unopposed this fall? As February
draws to a close, it might appear
that way, as no challengers have
spoken up and there is little talk
around the city of any imminent
mayoral campaigns other than
the incumbents.
There were rumors back in
2021, both during that year’s
municipal election and for some
time after the results and swearing-in
ceremony, that at least
one – and perhaps two – Malden
City Councillors were eyeing
potential mayoral runs in
this 2023 election. Not much of
that talk has panned out, however,
as neither of those rumored
Councillors have given
any hint of mounting such a
challenge this time around.
In other nearby communities,
challenges to incumbent mayors
or runs for open mayoral
seats have also come from seated
state legislators at times. The
only Malden resident among
the three state representatives
and state senator who represent
us at the State House is longtime
Rep. Steve Ultrino.
Who introduced Mayor Christenson
at his packed house reelection
announcement event
in May 2022 at Mixx360 Nightlife
on Broadway? Yes, it was Rep.
Ultrino. Enough said.
Another Advocate forecast:
Mayor Christenson will run unopposed
this fall and be reelected
to a historic fourth four-year
term.

establishments serving food,
drink or both in Malden – mostly
situated in or around Malden
Square – are at least doing a
lot better in the “lesser” COVID
times of today. But many are still
struggling, as a litany of issues
threaten and constrict their revenue
streams.
Most notable are the very real
supply chain woes, with holes
popping unexpectedly and often,
either sending acquisition
prices skyrocketing, limiting supply
choices severely at times, or
both. Another factor is personnel-related,
as restaurant and
eatery owners and operators in
Malden and statewide are faced
with chronic shortages of workers
in every aspect of the businesses,
from cooks to waitresses
and bartenders, to dishwashers.
The rising minimum wage –
one of the highest in the nation
in Massachusetts at $15.00 per
hour, $6.75 for tipped servers –
also directly jacks up fixed costs
at restaurants as they struggle to
increase their profits.
That is why as it is encouraging
to see busy and often very

Malden Catholic will honor first inductees into Brother
Daniel Cremin, C.F.X. Athletic Hall of Fame on March 2
Seven former student-athletes, two coaches, first super 8
champion hockey teams are among the honorees
By Nick Toscani
H
istory will be made and a lot
of history will be recalled on
Thursday, March 2 when Malden
Catholic High School (MC)
inducts the first-ever members
of the new Brother Daniel Cremin,
C.F.X. Athletic Hall of Fame.
Spanning 72 years of Malden
Catholic Lancer excellence on
the courts, fields and rinks by
seven former student-athletes,
two coaches and a pair of championship
teams, the school will
honor its Hall of Fame charter
members with a banquet and
ceremony before a sold-out audience
of over 350 at Anthony's
function hall (105 Canal St.,
Malden).
Malden Catholic had originally
supported a Lancer Hall
of Fame in the past, but has not
held an induction ceremony
since 2005, nearly 20 years.
In recognition of Malden Catholic’s
longest serving Xaverian
Brother, MC has dedicated
its Hall of Fame to Brother Daniel
Cremin, C.F.X., who spent 23
years at the school coaching
and teaching physical education
instruction and 23 years at
the school as a counselor. The
school’s Hall of Fame was originally
established in 1989, and
it celebrated the institution’s
strong athletic history and outstanding
individual athlete,
team, coach and volunteer accomplishments
with a formal
induction into the MC Hall of
Fame for 16 years.
The newly reignited Brother
Daniel Cremin, C.F.X., Hall of
Fame will celebrate the new
2022 inductees on March 2,
2023.
“Brother Dan’s commitment
to MC and his athletic accomplishments
are unprecedented,”
said Malden Catholic President
John Thornburgh. “In light of
Brother Dan’s retirement after 46
years, we are delighted to honor
him for his lifelong dedication
to the school and feature his
outstanding success along with
the positive athletic accomplishments
of our talented alumni
and alumnae who have performed
so well over the years.”
Following are the Charter
Members of the Brother Daniel
Cremin, C.F.X. Malden Catholic
Athletic Hall of Fame:
David Caputo, Class of 1985
Steve Freker, Coach
Stephen Harris, Class of 1968
Ryan Layton, Class of 2002
Sean Layton, Class of 2003
Jack Leavitt, Class of 2002

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 24, 2023
WHY IRREVOCABLE TRUSTS ARE
MOST OFTEN A BETTER CHOICE
OVER LEGAL LIFE ESTATES
B
y placing your home, rental
property or other assets into
an irrevocable trust, the five year
look back period will begin. Five
years later, the assets in the irrevocable
Trust will not be countable
for MassHealth eligibility
purposes. Furthermore, not only
is probate avoided upon the Settlor’s
death (i.e. the creator of the
trust), but probate would also
be avoided if a child/beneficiary
were to die prior to the Settlor (i.e.
parent). The predeceased child’s
children or even grandchildren
would become a beneficiary of
the trust and that child’s beneficial
interest in the trust would escape
the probate process. If that
child leaves minor children behind,
the trustee would follow
the terms of the trust and pay for
items such as medical expenses,
educational expenses, house expenses,
etc.
If, on the other hand, a parent
chooses to deed the home
or rental property to his or her
children directly, while reserving
a life estate, and one of the children
were to predecease the parent,
that child’s remainder interest
in that property would be part
of his or her probate estate. As estate
planners, we try to avoid the
probate process whenever possible
for many reasons, such as cost
and time delays. This could present
a problem many years down
the road if no one takes steps to
probate the estate of the predeceased
child.
Furthermore, in a legal life estate
situation, the parent would
need the consent of the child
who has a remainder interest
in the property in order to sell
the property. With an irrevocable
trust, the child has no current
ownership interest. The trustee is
free to sell the real estate any time
without the consent of the child.
If the trust is drafted as a grantor-type
trust, the capital gain exclusion
of $500,000 on the sale of
the principal residence will still be
afforded to the Settlor of the trust.
If it was rental property that was
sold, the entire capital gain would
still be reported by the Settlor on
his or her tax return. The children
would not be reporting any of
the capital gains transactions on
their own tax returns. The trust
would actually file a tax return as a
grantor-type trust and then issue
a grantor letter to the Settlor (also
referred to as a Grantor).
With a legal life estate, the capital
gain on the sale of a home or
rental property would have to be
allocated to the parent who reserved
the life estate and the children
who are the remaindermen.
The computation for IRS purposes
is based on the Book Aleph table
and the IRS Section 7520 interest
rates. For MassHealth purposes,
at least for now, the computation
is based upon the Social
Security POMS tables. Hopefully,
MassHealth will agree to
use the IRS tables as the IRS tables
are much more favorable to
the life tenant if the home were
to be sold, for example, as less
of the net sales proceeds will be
placed back on the table for the
life tenant only to be included as
a countable asset for MassHealth
eligibility purposes.
With an irrevocable trust, if the
home or rental property is sold
and converted to cash, the cash
is safe inside the irrevocable trust.
There is no risk of the trust assets
becoming countable. If the parent
decides to serve as trustee
and there is a trust provision allowing
for use and occupancy of
any real estate held in trust, then
any real estate abatement offered
by the city or town will remain intact.
It will not be lost due to placing
the home into trust. The trust
must be absolutely clear that
there can be no principal distributions
to the Settlor under any circumstances
and that the Trustee
must strictly adhere to the terms
of the trust and comply with each
and every fiduciary duty owed to
the remaindermen of the Trust.

Could You Have a
Thyroid Problem
and Not Know It?
Dear Savvy Senior,
What are the symptoms of thyroid disease? I’ve been dealing with
a number of health issues over the past few years, and a friend of
mine recently suggested I get my thyroid checked because it might
be causing my problems.
Almost 66
Jose Ferreira (5), a Golden
Tornados sophomore guard,
drives to the basket with good
eff ort in the win over Revere.
Dear Almost,
If your thyroid is out of whack, it can cause a number of health
issues that can be tricky to detect because the symptoms often
resemble other age-related health problems. In fact, as many as
30 million Americans have some form of thyroid disorder, but
more than half aren’t aware of it.
What to Know
The thyroid is a small butterfl y-shaped gland located at the
base of your neck that has a huge job. It produces hormones
(called T3 and T4) that help regulate the rate of many of your
body’s activities, from how quickly you burn calories to how fast
your heart beats. It also infl uences the function of the brain, liver,
kidneys and skin.
If the gland is underactive and doesn’t produce enough thyroid
hormones, it causes body systems to slow down. If it’s overactive,
and churns out too much thyroid, it has the opposite effect,
speeding up the body’s processes.
The symptoms for an underactive thyroid (also known as hyJustin

pothyroidism) – the most common thyroid disorder in older
adults – will vary but may include fatigue and weakness, unexplained
weight gain, increased sensitivity to cold, constipation,
joint pain, a puff y face, hoarseness, thinning hair, muscle stiff -
ness, dry skin and depression. Some patients may even develop
an enlarged thyroid (goiter) at the base of the neck. However, in
older adults, it can cause other symptoms like memory impairment,
loss of appetite, weight loss, falls or even incontinence.
And the symptoms of an overactive thyroid (or hyperthyroidism)
may include a rapid heart rate, anxiety, irritability, fatigue,
insomnia, increased appetite, weight loss, tremors of the hand,
frequent bowel movements, sweating, as well as an enlarged
thyroid gland. Too much thyroid can also cause atrial fi brillation,
aff ect blood pressure and decrease bone density, which
increases the risk of osteoporosis.
Those with the greatest risk of developing thyroid disorders are
women who have a family history of the disease. Other factors
that can trigger thyroid problems include: autoimmune diseases
like Hashimoto’s or Graves disease; thyroid surgery; radiation
treatments to the neck or upper chest; and certain medications
including interferon alpha and interleukin-2 cancer medications,
amiodarone heart medication and lithium for bipolar disorder.

If you are diagnosed with a thyroid problem, it’s easily treated.
Standard treatment for hypothyroidism involves daily use of
the synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine (Levothroid, Synthroid
and others), which is an oral medication that restores adequate
hormone levels.
And treatments for hyperthyroidism may include an anti-thyroid
medication such as methimazole and propylthiouracil,
which blocks the production of thyroid hormones. Another
option is radioactive iodine, which is taken orally and destroys
the overactive thyroid cells and causes the gland to shrink. But
this can leave the thyroid unable to produce any hormone and
it’s likely that you’ll eventually become hypothyroid and need
to start taking thyroid medication.
For more information on thyroid disorders, visit the American
Thyroid Association at Thyroid.org.

The Mango Minute
We at MANGO recognize that it is our mission to get
our clients “highest and best” price for their
property. While there may be challenges such as
location and property conditions, there is also one
challenge that the homeowner can overcome prior to
placing their property for sale. That challenge is
clutter. The late comedian George Carlin joked about
America’s obsession with “stuff.” We see whole
industries based on America’s obsession with “stuff.”
Self-storage and junk haulers come to mind.
Cluttered properties are less attractive for potential
buyers. It can be hard to see past the clutter to
visualize the potential and imagine the space as their
own.
Buyers may also be concerned about the cost of
removing and disposing of the clutter and potentially
dangerous items. Our advice to property owners who
plan to sell soon is to begin de-cluttering at least 3
months before offering the property for sale. Waiting
to the last minute can cost you a lot more than the
