The Malden legislative delegation was able to include $900,000 specifically allocated for the City of Malden: • $300,000 for materials, equipment and capital improvements for Malden Public Schools • $300,000 for Triangle, Inc.’s School-to-Career program, which connects students with disabilities to services designed to enhance their job and career opportunities • $200,000 for road and intersection improvements to enhance safety for pedestrians and other road users • $100,000 for traffic signal repairs and upgrades The legislation increases local reimbursements for special education services, sends significant funding to cities and towns to help with the costs of major winter storms, cuts taxes to jumpstart housing construction and supports the operation of the MBTA, including the low-income fare relief program. “This bill once again shows the amazing success of the Fair Share Amendment in action,” said Senator Lewis. “The legislature is providing cities and towns with increased funding FUND | SEE PAGE 4 Malden is 1 of 2 U.S. cities in 2026 to receive major EPA grant for citywide lead line removal Special to The Advocate M ayor Gary Christenson was pleased to announce that the City of Malden has been awarded $9.9 million in grant funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support ongoing efforts to remove lead service lines across the city.

Malden Declaration Day, which is hosted by the Mayor’s Office and the Malden Public Library, celebrates Malden’s unanimous vote to sever ties from Great Britain and create an independent American republic. Malden citizens were the first municipality to vote for and deliver this message to the Second Continental Congress. The vote was on May 27, 1776, and occurred weeks before the Declaration of Independence was adopted. Summer is Here!

The centerpiece of the 2026 Malden Declaration Day festivities was the dedication of a historic bronze memorial bell — generously funded by the Adelaide Breed Bayrd Foundation. The City of Malden purchased the 150-year-old, 1,200-pound bell from The Verdin Company™ of Cincinnati, Ohio. The bell’s inscription quotes the Malden Town Meeting from that significant day in May in 1776: “...if they should declare America to be a free and independent republic, your constituents will support and defend the measure, to the last drop of their blood, and the last farthing of their treasure.” The opposite side of the bell features an illustration of a minuteman, a militiaman who would be ready “at a minute’s warning.” “The unveiling of the restored memorial bell stands as a meaningful reminder of the importance of preserving the landmarks and stories that connect us to our shared history,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “For generations, this bell has served as a symbol of Malden’s heritage and civic pride. Today, we not only celebrate its restoration, but also honor the community members whose dedication ensures that our history continues to inform and inspire future generations.” In addition to the bell dedication, the William Diamond Junior Fife & Drum Corps performed, and Captain Tom Coots, a professional reenactor from the Charlestown Militia Company, read the Malden Declaration. Additionally, Beebe School students performed a Readers’ Theatre piece about the Boston Tea Party, connecting to their social studies curriculum and our revolutionary history. Students in costume reenacted the roles of Revolutionary War figures, helping them understand what motivated the most dramatic act of protest in American history. The students were led by LinFrom left to right: Jane Hill of the Malden Historical Society, City Council President Amanda Linehan (Ward 3), Mayor Gary Christenson, C.

After the students’ performance, Malden Public Library Director Dora St. Martin addressed the group assembled at Bell Rock Memorial Park, taking excerpts from an article by Jeff Cronin of the Malden Historical Society. “On a day in May, two hundred years ago, the town bell began to ring at the North Parish Meetinghouse at Bell Rock. For well over a century, a bell, which had once been suspended from the Bell Rock, summoned the townspeople of Malden to Sabbath meetings, mourned their funerals, alerted their militiamen and opened their town meetings and market days. On Monday, the 27th of May 1776, it sounded to assemble the people of Malden to a meeting to vote a final end of allegiance to the King,” she said. St. Martin continued, “Late in the day on May 27, men, women and children of town began to assemble in small groups and excitedly discuss the impending vote for independence. Upon hearing the familiar sound of the meetinghouse bell, they filled into the North Parish Meetinghouse and awaited the opening of the town meeting that was destined to place Malden in the very forefront of the movement for independence among the thirteen colonies in the spring of 1776.” The event culminated with Mayor Christenson and the Chair of the Adelaide Breed Bayrd Foundation, C. Henry “Hank” Kezer, unveiling the Memorial Bell and ceremoniously ringing it for the first time.

Richardson T he Malden Public Library (MPL) has installed a stunning new sculpture of Henry Hobson Richardson, the architect that designed and built the historic Converse Memorial Building, which houses part of the Library. This addition to the MPL’s art collection has been installed in the Library’s art galleries, which are free and open to the public. Philadelphia artist Morgan Dummitt created the 34" x 18" sculpture, which was cast in plaster. It is in the bas-relief style, where the image projects slightly from the background. The piece is framed in historic oak sourced from the original Richardson building. Dan Neenan of Minuteman Building & Preservation built the frame. Dummitt says he created the piece to honor Richardson for his contribution to American architecture and the creation of the Richardson Romanesque style, which was heavily influenced by 11th- and 12th-century French, Spanish and Italian architecture. At the time Elisha Converse commissioned Richardson to design Malden’s Public Library, he was already recognized as one of the top architects of the 19th century. Richardson is credited with more than 60 major works, including Boston’s Trinity Church, Albany’s New York State Capitol building and Quincy’s Thomas Crane Public Library. The Converse Memorial Building, which opened in 1885 at a cost of $125,000, reportedly, was his most expensive public library design. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Richardson frequently collaborated with his neighbor, renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.

Losses in the four cases ranged from $500-$7,000. In each of the cases in which losses were reported, the victims were told they had missed either state or federal jury duty and were required to pay fines in order to avoid arrest. In three of the cases, individuals were directed to cryptocurrency machines to make the payments. The fourth victim was told to set up a digital checking account. “The Middlesex Sheriff’s Office will never threaten arrest over the phone, by text or via email,” said Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian. “And we will never, ever demand payment for outstanding fines or fees using cryptocurrency, gift cards or other similar forms of payment. These are telltale signs of scams and we want you to hang up right away and report it to authorities.” The cryptocurrency kiosks located in communities throughout the Commonwealth have become favorite tools for scammers, who frequently direct targets to the machines to make payments for fake fines and fees. Legislation supported by Sheriff Koutoujian is currently pending that would ban the kiosks in Massachusetts. The MSO will not direct individuals to pay fines through cryptocurrency. Anyone who may have lost money in a similar scam involving individuals posing as members of the MSO is encouraged to notify the MSO at 781-960-2800. ׉ 7cassandra://49TPXhn3iuSlr-QqDX1VuYbh5D3UvEckfEkanoRZkoQ4`j4 2VTQ%"w׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 19, 2026 Page 7 Here’s the complete list of awards presented — the scholarships, the recipients and the amount received — on Senior Scholarship Night 2026: THE HONORABLE JEFFERY ABBER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP: Shaneel Zeba, $1,000 ROBERT K.

Born February 11, 1941, she was the beloved daughter of the late John and Charlotte (Monte) Buscone, and she carried the values of family, strength, and loyalty throughout her life. Carole was the devoted wife of Edward “Paul” Joyce, with whom she shared many years of companionship and love. Together, they built a family rooted in care, respect, and togetherness, and she took great pride in the home and family they created. Carole was the loving mother of Michael Joyce and Kim Avery of Peabody, John and Jill Joyce of Norwood, and Julia and the late Wayne Hall of Burlington, N.J. She embraced her role as a mother with unwavering dedication, always offering support, encouragement, and unconditional love. Her children were a source of great joy and pride to her, and she celebrated their lives and accomplishments with a generous and open heart. She was the dear sister of Steven Buscone and his wife Mary of Wilmington, and the late John Buscone, formerly of Ashland. Carole was the proud nana of Joseph Joyce and his fiancée Sandra Parent of Malden, Christopher Joyce of Malden, and the late Kevin Joyce.

Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/ Advocate.news.ma TRUSTS AND SECOND MARRIAGES A key part of today’s estate planning often involves the use of Trusts in order to provide for a surviving spouse in a second marriage and the children of a decedent from a previous marriage. If all of the assets of the decedent spouse are simply left to the surviving spouse of the second marriage, there exists the possibility that the surviving spouse will simply leave all of the assets he or she receives to her own biological children, thereby disinheriting the decedent’s biological children. If the married couple agrees Atom X to execute a joint revocable Trust, upon the first spouse to die, the Trust will then become irrevocable. Alternatively, an irrevocable Trust could be executed from the start. In either case, provision within the Trust can provide for the right of the surviving spouse to receive income generated from the Trust, or the right to use, occupy and possess real estate constituting the principal residence, for example. The Settlor(s) of such a Trust can provide for a child of the decedent spouse to serve as a Co-Trustee with the second spouse upon the death of the first spouse to die. In this event, there is at least a check on whether or not income distributions and principal distributions for health and welfare are not inappropriate. This might apply if the two individuals executing the Trust are not absolutely sure that the surviving spouse will not disinherit the decedent’s biological children and will in fact follow the terms of the Trust and the parties’ original intentions. Also, in a first marriage situation with all of the children being of the marriage, inserting a testamentary special power of appointment provision in the Trust allows the surviving spouse to exercise this power of appointment via his or her Last Will and Testament in order to reallocate the remaining assets in the Trust upon his or her death. For example, if the surviving spouse felt that one child needed a larger share of the Trust assets in order to survive financially, that child would receive a larger share of the Trust assets than he or she was entitled to pursuant to the terms of the Trust. This special power of appointment provision may be entirely inappropriate when dealing with a second marriage. The reason is that the power could be exercised by the surviving spouse to leave assets to his or her own children and thereby leaving out the children of the deceased spouse of this second marriage. Every family and marriage is different. Only after discussing all of the issues and family dynamics in a second marriage context can you arrive at the optimum set of Trust documents that will best meet your objectives. Joseph D.

Our budget will be tighter, so every dollar counts. Are there worthwhile senior travel discounts you can tell us about, and at what age do they begin? --Ready to Roam Dear Ready, Retirement is the perfect time to start checking destinations off your wish list. Senior travel discounts can make a real difference. Whether it’s airfare, hotels, cruises, train tickets or attractions, the savings can add up – sometimes hundreds of dollars per trip – if you know where to look and compare. To qualify, you’ll need to meet the age requirement, which varies by company. Some start as early as 50, but most don’t kick in until 55, 60, 62 or 65. Knowing these benchmarks helps you plan and save as soon as you’re eligible. Ways to save One of the best ways to uncover senior travel deals is through membership organizations. AARP, with membership starting at 50, offers the deepest travel discounts, including savings on hotels, rental cars, cruises and vacation packages. AAA also provides travel-planning services and member savings on lodging and car rentals to adults of any age. Another simple but often overlooked strategy is to ask. Many hotels, tours and attractions don’t advertise senior discounts but may offer one if you inquire. Keep in mind, though, that the “senior rate” isn’t always the lowest price. Promotional sales, advance-purchase fares and seasonal specials can sometimes be cheaper, so compare before booking. Flexibility is another powerful money-saving tool. Traveling midweek, avoiding peak holidays, booking during shoulder seasons, or adjusting your dates slightly can significantly lower costs. You may also find last-minute deals on cruises, rail trips and guided tours, especially during slower travel periods when companies are eager to fill unsold space. Here’s a rundown of some different discount deals currently available: Airlines: Senior airfare discounts are less common than they once were, but some still exist. AARP members can get discounts on select British Airways flights, about $65 off economy and up to $200 off business class. United and Delta may offer limited senior fares, usually for travelers 65 and older, on select routes if booked by phone or using “Senior” search tools. Loyalty programs can also add value through free checked bags or seat upgrades. Trains: Amtrak offers about 10 percent off for travelers 65-plus on many routes, with some cross-border discounts starting at 60. Rail passes and multi-city tickets may provide additional savings. Rental cars: AARP members can save up to 30 percent with companies like Avis and Budget, often with perks like a free additional driver and reduced rates on optional coverage. Hertz offers discounts through its 50 Plus Program. Hotels & lodging: Many hotel brands offer senior or AARP rates, typically 10 to 15 percent off. Examples include Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (Days Inn, Ramada, Super 8, La Quinta), Best Western, Choice Hotels (Comfort Inn, Quality Inn), Cambria, and Rodeway Inn. Booking directly or through AARP usually ensures the rate. Cruises: Some lines offer discounted fares for travelers 55-plus on select sailings, including Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, MSC, and Viking River Cruises. AARP members may receive additional onboard credits through affiliated providers. Off-peak sailings often provide the best value. Restaurants: Many chains offer senior menus, complimentary beverages, or percentage discounts for ages 55 or 60-plus, including Applebee’s, Arby’s, Burger King, Chili’s, Chick-fil-A, Denny’s, IHOP, Boston Market, and CiCi’s Pizza. Participation varies by location. Entertainment & attractions: Museums, theaters, zoos, aquariums, and golf courses often offer reduced admission for seniors 60 or 65-plus. One of the best bargains is the America the Beautiful Senior Pass from the National Park Service. For $20 per year or $80 for a lifetime pass (available at 62), it provides access to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Senate pass child welfare bill O n June 11, 2026, Senator Jason Lewis joined his colleagues in the Massachusetts Senate to unanimously pass An Act enhancing child welfare protections, which safeguards the well-being of children, particularly those in state and foster care. The bill increases access to community support for children at risk of court involvement and strengthens investigations of abuse cases. Notably, the legislation establishes a Foster Child Bill of Rights to codify and guarantee basic rights for children in foster care related to their safety, education and health care. “Protecting children, especially those dealing with difficult circumstances that brought them into state or foster care, is critically important,” said Senator Lewis. “This legislation ensures that the health, safety, and wellbeing of a child always come first.” The Senate’s bill expands the diversion of children dealing with behavior or attendance problems to Family Resource Centers (FRCs) instead of the court system. FRCs provide accessible, confidential support to children and families in crisis close to home and have proven successful in helping kids and teens stay in school, connecting families with services like mental health or substance use treatment, housing aid and legal aid, and — most importantly — avoiding the need for the child FURNISHED ROOM FOR RENT EVERETT to obtain a court record just to access assistance. The bill also further strengthens the Office of the Child Advocate (OCA) to support robust investigations into reports of harm or abuse to a child. It places the Child Fatality Review Team within the OCA and explicitly empowers the OCA to review cases of indecent assault and battery, abuse or rape of a child. On October 22, 2025, the House of Representatives had passed (159-1) its own version of the bill. The two bill versions will now be reconciled by the legislature. Governor Maura Healey will then receive the bill for her signature and/or other actions.
