Fittingly, tonight, a week after Malden High’s theater program received perhaps its most prestigious honor, its students will perform in the fi rst of two consecutive shows of the hit Broadway musical “Pippin” at the school’s Jenkins Auditorium. This past Friday, two of the biggest supporters of the Malden High School theater program – Malden Mayor Gary Christenson and MHS 8th-year Principal Chris Mastrangelo – joined fi rst-year Superintendent of Schools Dr. Timothy Sippel, high school staff members and Malden High Class of 2024 senior Addison McWayne to take part in an important ceremony at the Loeb Drama Center in Cambridge. The Loeb Drama Center is the main stage of the American Repertory Theater (EXPERIENCE the A.R.T.) at Harvard University, located on Brattle Street in Cambridge. Harvard’s A.R.T. is considered “a leading force in American theater,” having won a Tony Award as well as a Pulitzer Prize. Last Friday, Nov. 14, Malden High School was honored as just one of six high schools in all of Massachusetts selected to participate in the Lavine Learning Lab at the American Repertory Theater complex. Joining Mayor Christenson, Supt. Sippel and Principal Mastrangelo at the presentation, where the MHS Play Production program was featured, were its lead educators, Jen Clapp and Ariana Messana. MHS choral music educator Todd Cole also is involved in the Play Production classes. Both Mayor Christenson and www.810bargrille.com Mastrangelo have not missed many (if any!) of the twice-yearly Play Production performances in many years. “The students and staff who put in so much time and passion into these performances is simply amazing,” Mastrangelo said. “They seem to raise the bar with every MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL SELECTED FOR AMERICAN REPERTORY THEATER (A.R.T.)

According to a story published this week in the Harvard Gazette, “The Lavine Learning Lab uses A.R.T. productions as the foundation for student workshops that bridge the arts, humanities, and social and emotional learning, fostering lasting relationships between the theater and its young audience.” As part of the program, for each production, students participate in an introductory in-school workshop centered around the production’s “Essential Questions” and a pre-show workshop at A.R.T. held alongside a second Learning Lab school, exploring one of the production’s themes or elements, followed by dinner and a performance. Then will come a postshow, in-school student-led workshop for students “to unpack their own perspectives and those of others.” In addition, two educators from each participating school – in this case, Clapp and Messana from MHS – join a Professional Learning Community in which A.R.T. facilitates ongoing collaborative learning and provides professional development. Malden High senior Addison McWayne has already begun reaping benefi ts from her participation in the Lavine Learning Lab, as she took part in a pilot program the previous school year. “I feel like a lot of my analytical skills have been reinforced and retaught in the Learning Lab, but I’ve also taken the vulnerability that I feel when I’m in the lab and applied it to other parts of my life,” McWayne said in the Gazette story. “This experience has provided me with opportunities to speak up for myself and to share my opinion, which has made me a stronger and more confi dent person.” The Lavine Learning Lab is supported by a $5 million gift from The Crimson Lion / Lavine Family Foundation, which was founded by Bain Capital Chair Jonathan Lavine, M.B.A. ’92, and Jeannie Lavine ’88, M.B.A. ’92, to support nonprofit organizations focused on leveling the playing fi eld for individuals and families. ׉ 7cassandra://sWJBVL27uCLVzt9K4WG9DGHyl-oINUj8I3dEffKfmiY7m`g?vb>Oz 8׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 22, 2024 Page 3 City hosts Fellsmere Pond tree lighting Nov. 30 at 4 PM City to host annual Tree Lighting at Fellsmere Pond on Nov. 30 C ity Councillors Craig Spadafora and Amanda Linehan invite members of the public to attend Malden’s annual Tree Lighting ceremony at Fellsmere Pond on Saturday, Nov. 30 starting at dusk (4 p.m.).

Although access to routine preventive screening mammograms is currently covered under the federal Affordable Care Act, this legislation goes further by requiring coverage for certain screenings and exams that are not currently uniformly covered. Earlier this year the Senate and House had passed differing versions of this legislation. After those versions were reconciled, the legislation was enacted and placed before Governor Maura Healey. The Governor signed the bill into law last week as Chapter 231 of the Acts of 2024. “I was pleased to support passage of this important healthcare legislation,” said Senator Lewis. “It will ensure that all women are able to access all medically necessary and appropriate breast cancer screenings, which will enable early detection and save lives.” Kate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative “This pivotal piece of legislation exhibits our dedication to providing all individuals with access to essential healthcare services,” said Representative Donato. “Early detection of breast cancer can save lives and create opportunities for individuals to receive necessary care. No one should face financial barriers in accessing these vital screenings. I am proud of my colleagues for joining together to pass this important legislation.” “The passage of this bill demonstrates the Legislature’s commitment to health equity,” said Representative Ultrino. “This healthcare legislation is a victory for patients across the Commonwealth by expanding access to medically necessary breast cancer screenings.” “One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and in this year alone, more than 6000 people in Massachusetts will be diagLEGISLATION | SEE PAGE 7 Chris 2024 Jason Lewis State Senator Steven Ultrino State Representative ׉ 7cassandra://GaAyY0pZVIy9fj6dE5L4Jk-n6I9PpbDgaeVYKv5_96U8`g?vb>Oz :׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 22, 2024 Page 5 New Bell Rock Cemetery Walking Tour Added I n response to high demand, a second walking tour of Malden’s Bell Rock Cemetery has been scheduled for this Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., as part of the city’s 375th Anniversary celebrations.

This isn’t just any high school rivalry, it’s one of the oldest in the country, going strong since 1889. That’s the same year Malden’s own Erle Stanley Gardner, famed author of the Perry Mason series, was born. Gardner’s roots run deep here: He even took inspiration from Malden for his character Della Street, named after Malden’s own Dell Street by Roosevelt Park. A piece of Malden is immortalized every time Perry Mason airs on MeTV, but this football game brings it all to life.

If Not, Please Call for a Free Consultation. 14 Proctor Avenue, Revere (781) 284-5657 Cedar impression half rounds even if you’ve just arrived – you’ve probably experienced the electric Thanksgiving tradition: cheering on friends, neighbors and family from the stands. And while today’s crowds may not hit the epic 18,500 who turned out in 1929, the passion is as fi erce as ever. This game is about so much more than a score; it’s a yearly chapter in a living legacy. No one captured that spirit better than Matthew Washington Bullock, Malden High School’s fi rst African American head coach and a Harvard Law School graduate. Bullock, who left the South in 1889 with his family – formerly enslaved parents and seven siblings with only $10 between them – understood the gravity of this tradition. He once said, “The season does not begin until Thanksgiving Day, and should we lose that game, my work for the season will be a rank failure.” His words capture what this game has always meant to Malden: heart, grit and an unwavering sense of pride. Thanksgiving Day isn’t just a game; it’s a celebration of Malden’s resilience, history and community. So, whether you’re a longtime fan or gearing up for your fi rst match, get ready to be part of something historic. Here is Malden High School Class of 1977 Dave O’Brien relating his football/Thanksgiving Day experience as only Obie can: “We tend to focus on, and recall more often, the endings of our experiences. Journeys fi nd their meaning in the outcome. It’s called The Grand Finale for a reason. “Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns out that seniors who lose more than half of their games but win the Thanksgiving Game often report higher levels of satisfaction with their fi nal season in particular and better memories of their entire boyhood football experience in general than seniors who win more than half of their games but lose the Thanksgiving Game. “Endings are more eventful. But beginnings are where we start. THE FUTURE IS NOW: Pictured from left to right are MHS Football Captains Earl Fevrier, Kevin Exilhomme, Matt Brito, James Hyppolite and Aidan Brett.

The new rates are less than last year’s 2024 rate of $11.70 Residential and $18.20 Commercial, but they will not reflect a drop in taxes since the property value assessments continue to soar in Malden. Specifically, last year’s 2024 average residential property was assessed at $743,873. This year’s average residential property assessed value is $792,121, an increase of nearly $50,000 per property, or, 6.71% higher. Commercial properties’ assessed value will be less on paper, but the assessed average value of commercial property was $1,287,943 in 2024, but is up 10.6% in average assessed value in just a year, to $1,424,960 in 2025. The average residential property owner in Malden who owns a single-family home can expect to see an increase of between $250-$273 in 2024.

I am honored to have a role in helping to advance the will see a property tax increase of approximately $1,550 in 2025. For example, the average tax bill for residential owners with the exemption will be $6,063, without the exemption, $8,973. Cramer reported that in Malden just under 8,000 (7,998) residential properties will be eligible for the owner-occupied 30% discount in 2025, down from an average of 8,500 in past years. “We are seeing less and less owner-occupied residences in Malden,” Cramer said, describing what is becoming a trend. Another trend, one that has become closely watched by the City Council in recent years, is the rise in percentage real estate growth in Malden; as residential stock increased 6% in the past year commercial real estate increased only 3% in the past year. Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley asked Cramer for some specifics on how to apply for the 30% owner-occupied exemption, or rebate. Malden’s Chief Assessor said the deadline for applying for the next bill is April 1, 2025. Despite the fact that initial property tax bills are issued in January, residential taxpayers have until April 1 to apply for the exemption. On another O’Malley question, Cramer confirmed the owner-occupied exemption would carry over important work of the Mystic River Watershed Association,” said Colón Hayes.

Cramer also noted there were about 50 property tax abatement requests last year, most of them by property taxpayers challenging the property’s valuation. He said that’s a realistic number, in that if it dropped to lows of the teens, for example, it would be an indication that the assessments were too low as to real valuation. Some other statistics shared included the average valuations in surrounding communities with the 30% residential exemptions, average tax bills and rates. Malden has an average valuation of $740,867 with a rate of $11.33 per $1,000 of valuation and bill of $6,063 with the exemption. Only Chelsea and Everett are lower in nearby communities, Chelsea with an average bill of $5,603 with the residential exemption with assessed residential value $724,617 and a rate of $11.90 per $1,000.

Those who will be caregivers, and those who will need a caregiver.” She then invited all the caregivers, past and present, to stand up and be recognized. Gresci led the guests in a round of thundering applause in recognition of the dedication of our community’s caregivers. Mass.

(Courtesy Photo/Salemwood School) By Steve Freker ‘A nd they’re off !’ That time-honored race-starting shout – blasted from the Suff olk Downs P.A. system thousands of times during its nearly 85-year tenure – took on a whole new meaning Saturday. At the former Revere racing mecca, hundreds of young girls, their family members and others joined together to participate in the ever-popular “Girls on the Run” and “Heart and Sole” event, a regional 5K hosted by the national organization dedicated to teaching life skills to students from grades 3 to 8. Included in the group were dozens of girls and a hearty contingent of staff members from Malden’s Salemwood K-8 School, led by Principal Van Huynh. Salemwood School has been an enthusiastic participant in the national “Girls on the Run” program, which focuses on girls in grades 3-5, and according to information provided on its website, “inspires participants of all abilities to recognize their individual strengths while building a sense of connection in a team setting.” At the end of the season, the team completes a 5K together, “which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confi dent mindset into motion.” Building on the success of the initial “Girls on the Run,” the same program added “Heart and Sole” for girls in grades 6-8. According to “Girls on the Run,” “Our Heart & Sole middle school program meets the unique needs of participants of all abilities in 6th-8th grade. “The program considers the whole person – body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection. Heart & Sole off ers an inclusive place of belonging, where team members feel supported and inspired to explore their emotions, cultivate empathy and strengthen their physical and emotional health.” Principal Van said she is always inspired by the response of her students, families and staff members who join together in participating in this valuable event. “What a great day for a Girls on the Run and Heart and Sole 5K event at Suff olk Downs!” the Salemwood principal said. “Our students, families and staff rocked it!” Principal Van noted that the transportation bus left the school at 6:40 a.m. sharp, and everyone joined in the pre-race stretching and instruction, just before the big event went off without a hitch. She had a lot of “thank yous” to pass around, including the Girls on the Run coaches – Andie Siegal, Syndey Moulaison, Molly Barone, Laura Kelley, Ali Machado, Kathleen McGourthy and Jacqueline Errera – and Heart and Soul coaches Aimee Fox, Samjhana Gurung and Serena Lau-Brazell.

He completed his high school career with an outstanding overall record of 163-27. Devin went on to wrestle at Ohio State University, continuing his athletic journey at the colJACK WILKINS, HOCKEY, Class of 1971 Jack Wilkins was a key member of what is widely considered one of the greatest hockey lines in MC history: the legendary “POW Line” of Powers, O’Neil and Wilkins. Together, this trio shattered state scoring records and became an unstoppable force on the ice. During their senior year, Wilkins’ skill and leadership helped guide the team to an exceptional 22-1-1 record – they captured the Catholic Conference Tournament Championship, the North Shore League Championship and the Essex County Championship. His pivotal role in the team’s success secured his place in the annals of MC hockey history. 2004 BOYS LACROSSE TEAM The 2004 Boys Lacrosse Team will be inducted into the MC Hall of Fame in recognition of their historic season. The team finished the year with a remarkable 21-2 record, securing the Catholic Conference Championship after an undefeated league run and advancing to the Division 1 State Finals. During what was already shaping up to be an exceptional season, the team was struck by the tragic loss of a beloved teammate. What could have shattered their spirits instead became the catalyst for an extraordinary display of resilience, brotherhood and determination. The players rallied together, choosing to honor their fallen teammate by dedicating the rest of their season to him. This deep sense of purpose transformed their grief into strength, driving them to reach even greater heights. Every game, every play, became an opportunity to pay tribute to his memory, which united the team in a shared goal that transcended the sport. Led by two standout seniors, Chris Griffin and Sean Endicott, both of whom received 2004 USA High School All-American honors, the team not only found success on the field but carried the spirit of their teammate with them in every moment. In addition to these accolades, three players – Tom Orr ’04, Chris Griffin ’04, and Sean Endicott ’04 – were named Boston Herald All-Scholastics. Chris Griffin also earned the prestigious title of Division 1 Player of the Year from Boston Herald. The team’s extraordinary success was guided by Head Coach Rik Mazzei, who was named Eastern Massachusetts Lacrosse Coach of the Year at the conclusion of the season. This induction honors not only the individual achievements of the players and coaching staff but also the team’s remarkable collective performance, defined by their ability to overcome profound loss and turn it into a powerful source of inspiration. Their journey, forged through both triumph and adversity, continues to hold a special place in MC history.

This year, I wash my uniform, and we don’t win the G.B.L. We come close. But we lose to Chelsea in the final game. Billy Swanson, who will choose not to play organized football after this season, is our best player on offense and defense. “1973. Ninth grade, now. Beebe. Gene Revelas is the fullback, and I am tailback. We give each other concussions every Tuesday at one-on-one head-slamming drills.

Along with Louie and Richard Angelo, I’m a team captain. Much is expected of us. Lou Racca tells me that he wants an undefeated season. ‘And no ties.’ “They have me starting both ways.

Coach Exilhomme said he expected McGuffie to have a decent season offensively, but not in the dominant fashion he has shown at times: “He is an exceptional athlete, a very solid mix of strength and speed. He also has a nose for the end zone and this is so hard to teach a player. It’s just instinct.” Coach Exilhomme took over the play-calling on offense this season, and the result has been a dramatic turnaround from a team that was shutout 10 times in the past two seasons, to averaging 27.0 points per games this SPORTS | SEE PAGE 19 ׉ 7cassandra://jXptaGQZIRLTPFqLCT-k0-L-o4ZpQ3xxHWHFMZNHpKI0`g?vb>Oz F׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 22, 2024 Page 17 OBITUARIES Barbara D.

I need to fi nd a good memory care residential facility for him but don’t know where to turn. Any suggestions? Only Daughter Dear Only, Choosing a good memory care residential unit for a loved one with dementia is a very important decision that requires careful evaluation and some homework. Most memory care units, sometimes called special care units, are housed within assisted living or nursing home facilities. At their best, they off er staff extensively trained in caring for people with dementia, individualized care that minimizes the use of dangerous psychotropic drugs, a home-like environment and activities that improve resident’s quality of life. But at their worst, they can off er little more than a locked door. Here are some steps that can help you fi nd a good facility and avoid a bad one. Make a list: To identify some good memory care residential units in your area ask your dad’s doctor for a referral or use an online search tool like Caring.com. Make sure the facilities on your list are close to family members and friends who can visit often, because residents with frequent visitors usually get better care. Research your options: Once you’ve made a list, call your local long-term care ombudsman (see LTCombudsman.org for contact information). This is a government offi cial who investigates assisted living and nursing home complaints and can tell you which facilities have had problems in the past. If you’re looking at a memory care unit within a nursing home facility, use Medicare’s nursing home compare tool (Medicare.gov/care-compare), which provides a 5-star rating system. Call the facilities: Once you’ve identifi ed a few good facilities, call them to fi nd out if they have any vacancies, if they provide the types of services your father needs, what they charge io by Jim Miller How to Choose a Memory Care Unit for a Loved One with Dementia and if they accept Medicaid. Tour your top choices: During your tour, notice the cleanness and smell of the facility. Is it homey and inviting? Does the staff seem responsive and kind to its residents? Also be sure to taste the food, and talk to the current resident’s family members, if available. Also, ask about staff screening and training procedures, their turnover rate, and their staff -to-resident ratio. Make sure they provide quality activities to keep your dad engaged and fi nd out how they respond to residents who may wander or become aggressive. Because transitions can be unsettling for dementia suff ers, make sure that your dad will be able to remain at the facility for the foreseeable future. And fi nd out what, if any, health conditions might require him to leave the facility or move to a higher and more expansive level of care. It’s also a good idea to make multiple visits to the facility including an unscheduled visit in the evening or weekend when the staff is more likely to be stretched thin. To help you choose a good facility, the Alzheimer’s Association off ers a list of questions to ask at CommunityResourceFinder.org/Alz/Tips – click on “Tips for choosing a residential care facility” under Housing Options. Paying for care: The national average costs for memory care within an assisted living facility is over $6,000 per month, and over $8,500/month for nursing home care, but costs can vary widely depending on location and services. Since Medicare does not cover long-term care, most residents pay for care from either personal savings, a long-term care insurance policy or through Medicaid (if available) once their savings are depleted. Or, if your dad is a veteran, he may be able to get funds through the VA’s Aid and Attendance benefi t. To learn more, ask the facility director or contact the regional VA benefi t offi ce at 800–827–1000. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Everyone is looking for a turnaround on Thanksgiving morning, when Malden hosts rival Medford on November 28 at 10:00 at Macdonald Stadium. “We have one more chance to put it all together,” said Coach Exilhomme, whose team takes a 2-7 overall record into Game #137 versus Medford. *** Great debut in starting role for QB2 Billy Gavin against Lowell Malden fell to Lowell in a nonleague, non-playoff matchup at frigid Macdonald Stadium last Thursday, November 14 in a 2720 fi nal. Junior Billy Gavin got his fi rst career start at QB and made it into a big night with 14-of-22 passing for 165 yards and 3 TDs, all to senior captain Kevin Exilhomme. Gavin was starting in place of senior Aidan Brett, who had to sit out due to an equipment malfunction – a faulty knee brace. *** Thanksgiving Game tickets now on sale!

There are essentially two ways to release this lien. If the gross estate is less than $2million, no Massachusetts estate tax return needs to be fi led. In such a case, an Estate Tax Affi davit would need to be executed by the person in possession of the real estate or the Personal Representative of the estate in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 65C, Section 14, certifying that the value of the gross estate does not necessitate the fi ling of an estate tax return. The Estate Tax Affi davit needs to be notarized and recorded at the registry of deeds where the real estate is located. If the decedent’s gross estate is over $2million, then a Massachusetts estate tax return, Form M-706, needs to be fi led with the estate tax bureau. Once the estate tax is paid and the return is accepted as fi led, the estate tax bureau will issue an estate tax closing letter and a Certifi cate Releasing the Automatic Estate Tax Lien. The Certifi cate will then be recorded at the appropriate registry of deeds. This will serve to release the automatic estate tax lien. Furthermore, a certifi ed copy of the decedent’s death certifi - cate will need to be recorded at the appropriate registry of deeds where any and all real estate is located. This puts notice to all interested third parties that the decedent has passed away and therefore is no longer a title holder. It should also be noted that according to Mass General Laws Chapter 65C, Section 14(a), the lien stays with the real estate for ten years, unless released sooner by the recording of the Estate Tax Affi - davit or the Certifi cate Releasing the Massachusetts Estate Tax Lien. The Estate Tax Affi - davit, as introduced by the Massachusetts legislature, applies to decedents dying on or after January 1, 1997. The Estate Tax Affi davit will also state that the gross estate of the decedent does not necessitate the fi ling of a federal estate tax return. Currently, the federal estate tax exemption is $13.6million. Very few estates are subject to a federal estate tax. There is a much greater likelihood of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 being extended beyond January 1, 2026 if the Republicans end up controlling the House of Representatives. As of this writing, they already control the Presidency and the Senate. The federal estate tax exemption will drop to approximately $6million on January 1, 2026 if the tax provisions enacted in 2017 are not extended. Joseph D. Cataldo is an estate planning/elder law attorney, Certifi ed Public Accountant, Certifi ed Financial Planner, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a master’s degree in taxation.
