Mayer Mintz is a “Son of Suffolk Square” currently residing in Florida enjoying his “golden years.” Mayer graduated from MHS in 1960 and counted Norman “Spirit in the Sky” Greenbaum as a friend as well as a “landsman.” Although we’ve only communicated via email, I feel I’ve known Mayer my whole life. Mayer started out in pharmacy before attending medical school and practicing general surgery in Melrose for 30 years. He’s been married for 58 years and has two children and one grandson. His little brother Aaron graduated from MHS in 1964. Aaron graduated from Boston State, married and moved to western Massachusetts, where he had a successful career in social services and at UMass Amherst. He also had a successful part-time gig in radio in western Mass., retiring in the area. Their fi rst two years of life were in their grandparents’ home on Seaview Ave. Their parents then bought a two-family house on Harvard Street between Sammett and Lyme Streets. Both Mayer and Aaron were brought up in that house. As with most families back in the day, the upstairs tenants were their aunt, uncle and two cousins. Their other aunts and uncles lived within a mile, most within the same neighborhood. Their father died at age 47, when Mayer was 10 years old, and Aaron was seven. Mayer told me that their mother did a “great job” bringing them up as a single parent, with both going on to successful careers. I asked the Mintz brothers to help me connect readers with a small taste of what Malden was once like. They came through with flying colors. The late Bill Mini was famous for keeping the past alive, much like Chris “Keeper of the Linden Flame” Moro is attempting to do today with his Linden USA recollections. I had a long talk at the IACC with Chris recently about this very subject. His passion is palpable. We both agreed it’s imperative that we hand these stories down to future generations. But I digress (again)... Mayer (and Aaron) Mintz… “This is your life.” “I have warm memories of growing up in Malden in the late forties through the mid-sixties. My Malden neighborhood was Suff olk Square, Ward 7, a part of Malden beyond Edgeworth [my comment: touché my friend]. The neighborhood had a large Jewish population, but was also home to African Americans, Italpected to do well in school and attend college so that we could achieve greater success than the previous generation. “I think of Suff olk Square as a 406-410 Cross St. in Suffolk Square of yesterday ians, Polish, and Irish. My neighbors were fi rst and second generation poor working-class families. Most households did not have an automobile so commuting to work was on foot and/or public transportation. The men walked to work carrying a briefcase or a lunch pail. One of my neighbors walked to work carrying a shovel, the tool of his trade. Women did not work outside the home. “Most children in Ward 7 went to either Daniels or Lincoln Elementary School for the fi rst six grades. In those simpler times, children walked to school unaccompanied, even in the fi rst grade. There were no school buses, no helicopter parents and none of the fears that confront us today. Streets were crossed under the supervision of a crossing guard, usually a sixth-grade student. “After finishing sixth grade we were funneled into Lincoln Junior High, and at the end of ninth grade we were off to Malden High School with our counterparts from Beebe and Browne Junior High Schools. The importance of education was instilled in us by our parents. We were exprecursor to today’s so-called lifestyle center. Although rundown and dilapidated, it aff orded low-income housing, food stores, and retail stores. There were kosher meat markets and poultry markets (Bendell’s, Glick’s, Tokson’s, Swerdlick’s, Sugarman’s), grocery stores (Sunny Rose, Leshner’s, Setner’s, the National D), barber shops (Joe’s, Arnold’s, Henry’s), drugstores (Shan-Lor, Finn’s), Shear’s Deli, Cooper’s Beauty Salon. Droker’s Service Station had its gas pumps on the sidewalk. “The local movie house was the Capitol Theater, with a bowling alley downstairs. Malden Square was larger and served a wider clientele extending beyond Malden, but Suff olk Square was our neighborhood shopping center. But with further deterioration Suff olk Square was leveled as part of Mayor Walter Kelleher’s urban renewal project. “Malden off ered many recreational programs for young people through the YMCA, parks department, scouting, and church and synagogue youth groups. The Malden Police Department ran a program for young boys called the Junior Police which sponsored movie nights and other evening activities. Members received a shiny Junior Police badge. We also entertained ourselves on the sidewalks, streets, and playgrounds. A ball game MUSINGS| SEE PAGE 20 ANGELO’S A FULL SERVICE 1978-2023 Celebrating 45 Years in Business!

This includes $25 million for each of the following: • Municipal small bridge program • Complete Streets program • Bus transit infrastructure program • Grants to increase and improve access to mass transit and commuter rail stations • Grants for municipalities and regional transit authorities to purchase electric vehicles and the infrastructure needed to support them • Funding for pavement and surface improvements on state and municipal roadways • New funding dedicated to additional transportation support based on road mileage, which is particularly helpful for rural communities After House Bill 4013 was enacted unanimously by both the House and Senate, it was given to Governor Maura Healey for her signature or other action. “I’m very pleased that the state legislature is providing these critical funds to our local communities for transportaOur 51st Anniversary Chris 2023 Paul Donato State Representative tion improvements,” said Senator Lewis. “I know that this money will certainly be put to good use in Malden improving roads, sidewalks, and other infrastructure.” “I am excited to see the legislature come together to make these crucial investments to our public transit and road infrastructure,” said Representative Ultrino. “All these are key components to healthy economic development for communities like Malden, and the funding will ensure our sidewalks and roads are maintained and improved. It was an honor to work alongside the rest of the delegation to secure these, and I look forward to seeing the results in the coming months.” “I was glad to join the legisSteve Ultrino State Representative lature in voting to appropriate these funds to our municipalities, including for the Complete Streets program, road infrastructure for buses, and enhanced access to mass transit,” said Representative Lipper-Garabedian. “Such investments are critical for quality of life, including in a District that has commuter rail and public buses in addition to being contiguous to the Orange Line, and to meet our climate goals.” “The funds allocated towards these projects will be a worthy investment to the transportation infrastructure of Malden for years to come,” said Representative Donato. “I am proud to represent Malden and I will continue to be a fierce advocate on behalf of the community.” Jason Lewis Senator Kate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative ׉ 7cassandra://rjOpVbJ9LW8sQTG0cSy4VZgKgWPvBUBjYdxG7Kh__700'`̰d~Fז0?Hd׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 4, 2023 Page 5 Boston man, 23, killed when struck by motor vehicle while driving moped across bike trail on Broadway By Steve Freker A 23-year-old Boston man was killed when the moped on which he was driving was struck and pulled under a motor vehicle on Broadway during the afternoon of July 27.

Markey joins New England Aquarium to release eight rehabilitated sea turtles on Cape Cod Event highlights need for federal funding to help save sea turtles U .S. Senator Ed Markey joined the New England Aquarium on Monday night to release eight rehabilitated sea turtles, months after they stranded on the shores of Cape Cod. Staff and volunteers from the New England Aquarium and Mass Audubon’s Wellfl eet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary gathered with legislative staff as six Kemp’s ridley and two green sea turtles were returned to the ocean from West Dennis Beach. Sen. Markey (D-Massachusetts), who has been an advocate for creating direct financial support to organizations providing sea turtle stranding response and rehabilitation, released “Orzo,” a critically endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle. The New England Aquarium, in partnership with the National Aquarium and the South Carolina Aquarium, is working with Sen. Markey, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Rep. Bill Keating (D-Massachusetts-8th), and Rep. Jenniff er GonzálezColón (R-Puerto Rico) to introduce and advance the bipartisan Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance Act of 2023 (H.R.2560). The bill would help provide the federal funding for institutions across the country to continue sea turtle conservation eff orts, and it is endorsed by over 60 institutions across the country, from Texas to Maine. “The sea turtles released today had a happy ending thanks to the great work of the New England Aquarium, but too many of our nation’s critically endangered sea turtles don’t get a second chance at life,” said Sen. Markey. “My bipartisan Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance Act would provide much-needed federal funds for life-saving rescue, rehabilitation, and research eff orts for sea turtles throughout American waters and coasts.” The sea turtles became hypothermic in Cape Cod Bay in December 2022 and washed ashore, where they were rescued by the Wellfl eet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary team. The turtles spent the next eight months at the Aquarium’s Sea Turtle Hospital in Quincy, Mass., being treated for life-threatening conditions that resulted from them being unable to regulate their body temperature and feed, including pneumonia, dehydration and trauma. In keeping with this year’s turtle-naming theme of pasta and of sea turtles to our shores annually. About the New England Aquarium: This nonprofi t research and conservation organization has protected and cared for our ocean and marine animals for more than 50 years. It provides science-based solutions and helps shape policies that create measurable change to address threats the ocean faces. It inspires action through discovery and helps create engaged, resilient communities. Law Offices of Terrence W.

Markey and the Massachusetts delegation so that we can all continue this conservation work.” During the 2022 cold-stunning season, the Aquarium treated 518 live sea turtles. Once turtles are stabilized, staff veterinarians in collaboration with rescue biologists examine animals that need further care and clear others for travel to secondary rehabilitation facilities. Turtles with more critical injuries remain at the New England Aquarium, where many are fully rehabilitated before being released back into the ocean. The Aquarium works closely with the Fisheries Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Wellfl eet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and the nonprofi t organization Turtles Fly Too to save the sea turtles, many of which are transferred to partner organizations across the country to continue rehabilitation. The success of this operation depends on the network of organizations that collaborate to ensure hundreds of turtles survive each cold-stunning season. The number of annual coldstunned sea turtle strandings in Massachusetts varies from year to year but has steadily increased from around 50 in 2000 to more than 700 in 2021.

Taking into consideration the ending of COVID-era federal funding and rising infl ation nationwide, this spending bill represents a continued commitment to the people of Massachusetts and aims to put the state in a more competitive position in a post-pandemic world. The FY24 budget prioritized measures addressing rising food insecurity across the state by codifying free universal school meals, increasing funding for food security infrastructure grants and providing capital investments to local food organizations. With this bill, Massachusetts is slated to become the seventh state nationwide to provide free school meals to all public school students. Additionally, the bill promises free community college programs for students over 25 years old, increases funding for Early College Programs and expands pre-K opportunities across the state – refl ecting historic investments across all levels of our public education system. State Representatives Steve Ultrino, Paul Donato and Kate Lipper-Garabedian and State Senator Jason Lewis have successfully advocated for and secured $885,000 in Malden earmarks in this budget, as follows: • $200,000 for the School-toCareer program operated by Triangle, Inc. • $150,000 for Portal To Hope to develop programs combatting domestic violence and providing supportive services to survivors and victims of domestic violence • $100,000 for Housing Families Inc. to assist in their general operations • $85,000 for capital improvements and equipment for Bread of Life’s new building • $75,000 for a new multi-utility vehicle for Malden’s Department of Public Works funded through this additional revenue stream: • $69 million for permanent Universal School Meals • $25 million for reducing the waitlist for income-eligible early education and care programs and ensuring fair and adequate access to early education and care services • $5.5 million for expanding pre-K and preschool opportunities across the state • $50 million for the Green Kate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative • $75,000 for Malden’s Pedestrian Safety Pilot Projects • $75,000 for Action for Boston Community Development’s Mobile Homeless Outreach Team • $75,000 for the establishment of an arboretum at the Forest Dale Cemetery • $50,000 for Urban Media Arts to construct a new roof at their facility “I am excited to see Malden community organizations receiving funding to continue their critical programs and services for our residents in need,” said Representative Ultrino (D-Malden). “This budget prioritizes creating a more livable and competitive Commonwealth and addressing urgent issues faced by our residents every day. Once again, I am proud to have worked with my colleagues in the Malden delegation to successfully advocate for investments in the Malden community.” “This budget will deliver substantial resources to our communities, and make our state more affordable for working families by helping to address the high costs of housing, healthcare, child care, and college,” said Senator Lewis. “I’m especially pleased that Representative Ultrino, Representative Lipper-Garabedian, Representative Donato and I were able to also secure funding for some important local Malden priorities.” Steve Ultrino State Representative “By placing a focus on aff ordability and equity, this budget will have immediate and long-lasting positive effects for residents throughout the Commonwealth,” said Representative Donato (D-Medford). “Additionally, I am grateful that Senator Lewis, Representative Ultrino, Representative Lipper-Garabedian, and I were able to deliver funding towards Malden.” "With the Malden delegation, I am proud to have secured funding of $885,000 for the City and critical community partners including in the areas of housing security, public safety, and infrastructure,” said Representative Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose). “Additionally, among the many critical and responsive statewide investments in the budget, I am thrilled to see ongoing historic funding in early education and childcare, a top priority for which I advocated, as well as universal free school meals to make Massachusetts the seventh state to make the program permanent.” The FY24 budget will be the fi rst annual budget to integrate new revenues from the Fair Share Amendment.

At the event, an announcement was made regarding a substantial matching donation. “It is remarkably generous for the community to be providing such a tangible commitment to elevate art and culture here in Malden and greater Boston,” Sticco said, referring to the recent private $100,000 matching funds grant. Sticco indicated that the matching fund donation was made by a prominent local businessperson who is a supporter of the arts and opera. The donor, who requested anonymity, said, “It is my privilege to support the community and Mystic Side Opera. The idea is to create an incentive for further support. So, whether someone can donate a dollar or $100,000, their donation will be doubled through this matching grant. It’s not that often that you get to double your money.” “The accomplishments of Mystic Side Opera in its first three months are extraordinary,” said Marcel Schwab of Creative Malden, representing an organization that supports the arts. “In that time, MSO has not only brought in a remarkable range of talents, from opera to jazz and blues, it has also provided a space for artists to gather and community to form,” said Ose Schwab, who is an arts advocate in Malden. “Mystic Side Opera has elevated Malden as a center of culture and art,” said Schwab. “They have opera stars from across Europe performing here. Since they opened, visitors from seven countries and nine states have enjoyed MSO’s performances. It’s really been a boost for Malden tourism.” The Mystic Side Opera’s Sticco is equally effusive about the support of Malden’s citizens. “Our new matching grant, and the generous commitments being made will ensure our continued support and elevation of the arts and education for greater Boston,” Sticco said, in relation to MSO’s music education outreach program. “We are receiving continuous support from the greater Malden community,” he said, “From people volunteering time, to a grand piano donation today from Felicia Heitin Lafauci, the owner of the Elmwood Grille. It’s really been encouraging to have the community share our vision to bring world class music to Malden.” Felicia Heitin Lafauci underscored MSO’s accomplishments. “They have brought in world class talent, including local artist Maddie Lamb, Mackenzie Lee Clement, electric violinist Julia Watkins from Nashville who performed on America’s Got Talent, and several European Opera rising stars,” Lafauci said. Malden’s Mystic Side Opera is affiliated with Teatro alla Scala in Italy, where MSO’s Art Director, Marco Borroni, is based. Located in an historic railroad baron’s estate at 339 Pleasant St., Mystic Side Opera hosts both private and public events. “The mansion, which was built in the 1860’s in the style of the Paris Opera, is unique in that it allows Mystic Side Opera to produce intimate private and public events that elevate the emotional element of performances,” Sticco said. In addition to performances at the Opera’s main location in Malden, the Opera Company has previously toured across the country. While based in MalAlex Roitman on bandoneon performed “La Ultima Curda” by Anibal Troilo and “Capricho Otoñal” by Leopoldo Federico. Malden resident Brendon Shapiro played piano.

The only other sculptor from New England was Greg Grady, from New Hampshire, whose piece was a half moon – titled “Talking to the Moon” – inspired by his sons. His nickname is G2 because his father and namesake was also a sand sculptor. He has relatives in Saugus and Melrose. The festival is also a competition. Judged by other sculptors affiliated with Broken Glass Sand Sculptures of Hawaii as the best work was “Neptune’s Morning Coffee” by Slavian Borecki of Poland. “Finally,” he reacted, referring to his second-place finish last year. He’s headed to Virginia Beach for his next festival. He also said the time given the sculptors to create their work, four days in this case, is never enough. Usually, the sculptures last one to three weeks after the festival, but heavy rain Saturday night did some serious damage. Vendors of all kinds lined Revere Beach Boulevard, including a truck from Kowloon. Operations Manager John Chang reported steady business. “Everybody knows Kowloon,” he said. His days started at 7 a.m. at the Saugus restaurant, stocking the truck, and ended near midnight after unloading and cleaning. This sculpture, “Neptune’s Morning Coffee,” won first place. Belgium resident Hanneke Supply won second place for “Trapped in Your Own Mind, the Way Out is Through the Heart.” Canada resident Abe Waterman’s sculpture was “Serentude.” Saugus resident Deborah Barrett-Cutulle worked on her piece during Saturday’s completion. A Ferris wheel near the Revere Beach subway station and bandstand evoked memories of when Revere Beach was full of arcades and rides. Local politicians were also taking in the sights. “The festival is a huge highlight of our summers and a huge boost for small businesses,” Revere’s Acting Mayor Patrick Keefe said. “Every year I’m more and more amazed by the creativity. It highlights how beautiful Revere and Revere Beach are.” He also enjoyed a show by Blue Man Group Friday night, which Hamel said helped bring in people. Revere School Committee member Jacqueline Monterroso called the festival “amazing” and comparable, if not better than, sand sculpting events she saw while living in Florida. Revere and Winthrop State Representative Jeff Turco, whose district includes the beach area, said the festival “showcases America’s first public beach.” He’s also a former board of director member, treasurer and member of the Revere Beach Partnership and a current Revere Beach Partnership advisor. “This is one of my favorite events and a great opportunity to show how special Revere Beach is,” Giannino agreed. “We know how special it is. I hope if people get a taste of it, they’ll come back.” Roy Konyeaso drove up from Rhode Island and brought friends Cristobal Arco and Imana Cordera visiting from Spain with him. “Somebody told me about it,” Konyeaso said. “It’s great. Arco was impressed by the detail in the works.” On the other hand, Alynn Albert just walked down the street from her Revere Beach Boulevard condo with her nephew Henry Baker, who was visiting from Connecticut. “I come every year,” she said. “It’s great.” “It’s impressive,” Baker added. “People come from all over the world to share their talent.” Mario Caporale, who grew up in East Boston, and his wife Nancy drove in from Reading. “We come down every year,” he said. Although starting in 2004, 2023 marked the 19th festival due to its cancellation in 2020 during the pandemic. Preparations are already underway for 2024 by the organizers and the sculptors. “It’s a constant process,” Grady said. “I have many projects I’ll do before that, but you’re always thinking.” California resident Bruce Phillips’s sculpture was “Your Own Vision.” California resident Morgan Rudluff’s sculpture was “Floatation.” The Netherlands resident Joris Kivist’s sculpture was “La Garcia,” or The Forgiven, based on a painting of Jesus as a female figure. ׉ 7cassandra://jFpCnGBUP7mvqG9hBIEz3tkymALRmfWznomJwCrezQQ'F`̰d~Fז0?Hd׉E?THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 4, 2023 Page 15 The Netherlands resident Bouke Atema’s sculpture “Humanity ‘CAN’ Change” was the fifth place winner.

Bagley took over the reins as team manager and head coach for the Pilots in April this year and finished the season at the top this week as one of the Malden BRL’s longest-running teams won just its second title in history. Led by another brilliant pitching performance by McMahon and more clutch hitting from Ruane and Rivera-Fuentes, the Pilots rolled past regular season pennant winner Chiefs, 141, Wednesday in a winner-takeall Championship Final on Kezer Field at Pine Banks Park. For the second time in the 2023 double-elimination series, McMahon simply dominated on the mound for the Pilots. On Wednesday, McMahon went the distance, allowing just three hits on the night and striking out 14. The only run of the night allowed was unearned. Earlier in the playoff series, on July 24, McMahon was equally as solid, tossing a complete-game 2-hitter in a 12-1 win over the Flames. McMahon is a rising sophomore at Malden High School who was the second-leading hitter and an everyday starter for the Golden Tornado varsity baseball team this past spring. The Pilots had knocked off the Chiefs, 12-1, on Monday at Kezer Field to force Wednesday’s winner-take-all final. Righty David Ruane, of Everett, is a rising sophomore at Malden Catholic. Pilots righthander Ryan McMahon dealt on the mound for the Pilots in the Championship Final game on Wednesday night. (Advocate Photos) In Wednesday’s game, the Pilots raced out to a commanding, 6-0 lead and never looked back. It was billed as a matchup between two of the league’s top pitchers: McMahon for the Pilots and Ryan Bowdridge, a hard-throwing righty for the Chiefs. But the defense for the Chiefs went south and the Pilots were able to strike with all six runs being unearned as they built the 6-0 lead after four innings. **** ׉ 7cassandra://sBhVa2tHAK87rEGx7FNiBmTFm26Bm68JcgQHafMPCKk*q`̰d~Fז0?Hd׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 4, 2023 Page 17 2023 Playoff Scores (all games at Kezer Field/ Double Elimination Series Game 1: July 19, Wednesday: Pilots 12, Flames 5.

It was his – no typo – 60th year at the helm, having assumed command in 1964. This must be a record in at least New England history, if not national. Though Bob was unable to attend most games in person this year due to health challenges, he was there in spirit and kept informed by his top assistants, including Paul Maccioli… Malden High School will have quite a one-two punch on PILOTS ARE NUMBER ONE!

Picardi Of Malden. The IRS REVENUE RULING 2023-2 T he Internal Revenue Service in March of this year confirmed that the assets of an irrevocable grantor trust that are not included in the grantor’s gross taxable estate do not receive the step up in cost basis upon the grantor’s death pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 1014(a)(1). The types of irrevocable trusts that are the subject matter of this revenue ruling are irrevocable gifting trusts where the grantor of the trust is gifting assets out of his or her estate in order to avoid having those assets includible in his or her gross taxable estate for estate tax purposes. For larger estates, such a technique may well be a good strategy as once your estate is taxable for federal estate tax purposes, the federal estate taxes are significant. Although the federal estate tax exemption is currently $12.9million for taxpayers dying in 2023, it is slated to drop down back to $6million in 2026, failing legislation to extend the estate tax provisions currently in place. When assets are transferred to such a Trust, a completed gift has occurred for gift tax purposes. If the grantor retains powers pursuant to IRC Sections 671-678, the grantor will be treated as the owner for “income tax” purposes. However, with an irrevocable gifting trust, the assets held in such a trust are not afforded the step up in cost basis. This means that the assets held in trust upon the grantor’s death will not receive a new cost basis equal to the fair market value at the time of death. The grantor’s original cost basis of the assets will be passed along to the beneficiaries of the trust. This ruling confirms that you cannot have your cake and eat it too when it comes to these irrevocable gifting trusts. The assets in the trust must be includable in the grantor/decedent’s estate for estate tax purposes in order to gain the valuable step up in cost basis. This ruling does not affect the typical Medicaid irrevocable trusts which are designed to achieve grantor-type trust status for income tax purposes and to provide for the inclusion of highly appreciated assets, such as stocks and real estate, in the grantor’s taxable estate. Provisions included in these trusts are designed to prevent a completed gift from occurring when assets are transferred to the trust. It may very well be that no federal estate tax will be paid or no Massachusetts estate tax will be paid, but if the trust assets are included in the taxable estate, the step up in basis will be achieved. The Massachusetts state legislature will hopefully increase the estate tax exemption to $2million. It is currently $1million. It would be great if the legislature adopted estate tax portability thereby providing a married couple with a total estate tax exemption of $4million. Upon the death of the first spouse, everything could pass to the surviving spouse estate tax free based upon the unlimited marital deduction. Upon the surviving spouse’s subsequent death, he or she would then be entitled to the deceased spouse’s $2million exemption plus his or her own $2million exemption, for a total of $4million. You would see less taxpayers leave Massachusetts for a more tax-friendly state. Joseph D.

Chuha Clerk July 28, August 4, 2023 aavvyvy S avy avvy S oiorenniioor nior by Jim Miller The Hidden Danger of Untreated Heartburn Dear Savvy Senior, Is regular heartburn or acid refl ux anything to worry about? I eat a lot of Rolaids throughout the day to help manage it, but it’s gotten worse with age and it keeps me up at night too. What can you tell me? Belching Bob Dear Bob, Almost everyone experiences heartburn or acid refl ux from time to time, but frequent episodes can signal a much more serious problem. It’s estimated that more than 60 million Americans experience heartburn at least once a month, with around 15 million people who suff er from it daily. Heartburn symptoms show up in a variety of ways – as a burning pain behind the breastbone, indigestion, or a sour or burning taste in the back of the throat. Other symptoms may include chest pain, excessing belching, a long-term cough, sore throat or hoarseness. If you’re plagued by heartburn two or more times a week, and it’s not responding well to over-the-counter antacids you need to see your doctor, who may refer you to a gastroenterologist. Frequent bouts may mean you have gastroesophageal refl ux disease, or GERDs, which can severely irritate and damage the lining of your esophagus, putting you at risk of Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer if it’s not treated. Lifestyle Adjustments Depending on the frequency and severity of your heartburn, there are a number of lifestyle adjustments you can make that can help provide relief and avoid a more serious problem down the road, such as: • Avoid trigger foods: Some foods can trigger heartburn symptoms like citrus fruits, tomatoes, fatty foods, chocolate, garlic, onions, spicy foods, mints, alcohol, coff ee and sodas. You should keep a food diary to track which foods cause you the most problems and avoid them. • Eat smaller, slower and earlier: Smaller portions at mealtime and eating slower can help reduce heartburn symptoms. You should also wait at least three hours after eating before lying down or going to bed. • Lose weight: Having excess weight around the midsection puts pressure on the abdomen, pushing up the stomach and causing acid to back up into the esophagus. • Quit smoking: Smoking can increase stomach acid and weaken the valve that prevents acid from entering the esophagus. • Sleep elevated: To help keep the acid down while sleeping, get a wedge-shaped pillow to prop yourself up a few inches. If that’s not enough, try elevating the head of your bed six to eight inches by placing blocks under the bedposts or insert a wedge between your mattress and box spring. Wedges are available at drugstores and medical supply stores. Sleeping on the left side may also help keep the acid down. Treatment Options If the lifestyle adjustments don’t solve the problem, or if antacids (Tums, Rolaids, Maalox, Mylanta or Alka-Seltzer) aren’t doing the trick, there are a variety of over the counter (OTC) and prescription medications that can help, including: H-2 Blockers: Available as both OTC and prescription strength, these drugs (Pepcid, Tagamet, Axid and Zantac) reduce how much acid your stomach makes but may not be strong enough for serious symptoms. Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPI): If you have frequent and severe heartburn symptoms PPIs are long-acting prescription medications that block acid production and allow time for damaged esophageal tissue to heal. They include Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec, Zegerid, Protonix, Aciphex and Dexilant. Prevacid, Nexium, Prilosec and Zegerid are also available OTC. But be aware that long-term use of PPIs can increase your risk for osteoporosis and chronic kidney disease. If the medications aren’t enough, there are also surgical procedures that can tighten or strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter so gastric fl uids can’t wash back up into the esophagus.

The bill was sponsored by Sen. Edward Markey (D-Edgeworth) and had 60 cosponsors. Just one more reason why Eddie will go down in history as one of the very best legislators in Mass. history, ever. Thank you, Ed, for fi ghting the good fi ght all these years. • Rest in peace, Lee Johnson. Shop teacher at MHS for many years who I will be forever grateful to for restoring my antique roll-top desk while in its death throes. Ten Pisa Pizza pies for the classroom and I have a show piece to envy. Thank you, sir. • The MHS Hall of Fame hoopster and retired Converse Rubber big shot Buddy Arthur remembers the late Karen Anderson: “She was a blessing to the city of Malden. She worked with a tireless energy that inspired everyone to do their best. I worked for her during 30 plus years of city elections and she will always be missed. RIP Karen.” One more time, “said no one”: • Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Al Horford remind Celtic Nation of the Big 3: Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish... said no one. • “Mr. Big Stuff ” – Jean Knight’s summer of ’71 soul/pop anthem is overplayed and dated...said no one. • Dwight Evans, Freddy Lynn INSPECTIONAL SERVICES 215 Pleasant Street, Room 330 Malden, Massachusetts 02148 (781) 397-7000 ext. 2044 and Jim Rice are not missed at Fenway Park, and the outfi eld the Sox are fi elding today will make us forget these guys real soon... said no one! • Larry Bird was overrated and could not play in today’s NBA... said no one (except one meshugana associated with the Bad Boys of Detroit). As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – Happy 190th birthday (August 24), James Redpath; author, publisher, entrepreneur, 19th-century citizen of the world and possibly Malden’s fi rst progressively minded resident. Born in 1833 in Berwick-upon-Tweed, England, he resided on Maple Street off Summer during some of America’s most trying times. Redpath was a radical abolitionist with close working ties to John Brown, a fervent anti-segregationist and a very early supporter of Women’s rights supporting the Women’s Suff rage movement. He also advocated for Labor Unions, Irish Nationalism, and Civil Rights. His house on Maple Street reportedly was a stop on the “Underground Railroad” with tunnels allegedly running from his basement to the nearby Train Depot (now Pearl Street Station Restaurant). His viewpoints most likely not always going over well with his fellow citizens. He was a strong opponent of the death penalty. One could only imagine what fellow Maldonians thought when he asked for the life of the killer of young Frank Converse to be spared; Edward Green was condemned to die for the brutal slaying of the son of Malden’s most benevolent and loved citizens, Elisha Converse, and was eventually hung. James Redpath – “The Forgotten Firebrand” – Malden’s fi rst ultra-liberal!! Happy birthday, Jimmy! Postscript 1: Thank the deity of your choice – it’s Summertime and the living is easy! Life seems a lot lighter when the temps are in the 80s, and Malden in 2023 is a good time and place to be (although I would not mind spending an afternoon in Old Suff olk Square). With that said I’d like to leave this week with one of my favorite Frank (Sinatra) quotes; the Chairman of the Board was many things to many people and on occasion came up with a memorable quip or two: “You gotta love livin’, baby, ’cause dyin’ is a pain in the [expletive deleted].” Postscript 2: San Rock Festa 2023; some are calling this year’s musical lineup the best lineup EVAH! Judge for yourself: The best Beatles tribute act on the North Shore, Beatlejuice, will play Friday night (August 11). The best dance band on the North Shore, WildFire, will have you enthusiastically shaking your tail feather – if you’re a tail feather shaker – on Saturday night (August 12). And on Sunday (August 13), we got Steve Savio with Sea Breeze playing all your favorite traditional Italian music in the afternoon followed by Heart Attack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack giving you your (classic) Billy Joel fi x closing out the Festa. Postscript 3: Breaking news! Last week’s Malden Advocate may have been the most popular issue in the history of the paper. Reportedly all copies at Honey Dew on Eastern Avenue and two spots in Malden Square who regularly have copies left over were sold out – on Saturday! I guess my article congratulating Jack Garrity on his 104th birthday was a big hit. Insert smiley face. —Peter is a long-time Malden resident and a regular contributor to the Malden Advocate.
