Raduazzo is particularly proud to offer parents long hours, yearround operation and flexibility with work schedules. The preschool opens at 6:30 a.m., with drop-off starting at 7 a.m., and closes at 6 p.m., which allows many families the opportunity to go to work without worrying about arriving to work late or having to leave early because of strict drop-off and pickup times.

Lewis appointed to serve on ballot question special committee S tate Senator Jason Lewis has been appointed by Senate President Karen Spilka to serve on the newly created Special Joint Committee on Iniber special joint committee, comprised of four lawmakers each from the Senate and the House of Representatives, will delve into each of the topics under consideration. “I’m honored to be appointed to serve on this special committee that is tasked with reviewing the complex set of potential 2024 ballot questions,” said Senator Lewis, who also serves as the Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Education. “In 2018, I was proud to help negotiate the successful resolution of several pending ballot questions, including raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour and creating a universal paid family and medical leave program for Massachusetts residents.” The Massachusetts Constitution provides residents with a pathway to pass laws directly by popular vote. Subject to review by the Attorney General, supporters of ballot questions must submit valid signatures from residents across the Commonwealth who support advancing a proposal. These initiative petitions are then transmitted to the state legislature, which must consider the petitions and may choose to, among other options, decline to act on the proposal and allow the ballot question process to move forward, work with petitioners on a compromise or order an alternative ballot question to be printed alongside the proposal for voter consideration. After legislative review, if the legislature declines to act on a ballot question or pass a compromise version, supporters of the proposal must then gather another round of additional signatures for submission to the Secretary of the Commonwealth in order for the question to be presented to voters in the statewide election in November. Jason Lewis State Senator tiative Petitions. This committee is charged with reviewing and making recommendations to the full legislature on citizen initiative petitions that may appear as ballot questions in the November 2024 statewide elections. The topics of these initiative petitions: (1) removing the MCAS as a high school graduation requirement; (2) defining rideshare driver rights, including the right to unionize; (3) legalizing and regulating natural psychedelic substances; (4) authorizing the state auditor to audit the legislature; and (5) requiring the full minimum wage for tipped workers.

Specifically in Malden, a grant of $126,978 is going to the Lisbon Street Limited Partnership, which was established through the collaborative efforts of the office of Mayor Gary Christenson and staff, including the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development, Ward 7 Councillor Chris Simonelli and the Malden federal delegation of U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark (D-5th Middlesex) and U.S. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass). “Many of my residents do live in public housing on Lisbon Street, Bowdoin Street and Newland Street and lots of our families face moderate to severe financial and social challenges,” Councillor Simonelli said. “In collaboration with Mayor Christenson’s office and others, we have started and maintained some programs to address these challenges and this federal HUD grant is exactly what is needed to assist our Lisbon Street residents who need it the most,” Simonelli added. In addition to the Lisbon Street program grant, a $252,000 existing grant addressing similar issues in citywide public housing was renewed for FY25, according to a HUD statement.

It stands as a cornerstone of the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to fostering economic mobility and ensuring that every American has the opportunity to pursue and realize their American Dreams.” “We are very grateful for all of the work that has gone into securing this HUD funding for our Ward 7 public housing residents as well as those across the city of Malden,” Councillor Simonelli said, “especially the efforts of Mayor Christenson and his staff, Deb Burke and the OSPCD office, and our Congressional delegation.” “Congresswoman Clark and Senator Markey continue to be very attentive to the needs of their Malden constituents who deserve access to ways to become financially secure and inHoang Nguyen Khiem Tan Duy Nguyen Matthew Quang Nguyen Sammi Nie Ryan O’Connell Julia Diniz Oliveira Sophia H.

These resources aim to increase their earned income and financial empowerment, reduce or eliminate the need for welfare assistance and facilitate progress toward economic independence and self-sufficiency. “Regardless of how much money one might make, where they live, whether or not they receive assistance, every person in this country deserves to have the sense of security for their families that comes with consistent saving,” said HUD Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Richard Monocchio. “We are thrilled to offer the benefits of the FSS program to more participants than ever before.” According to HUD officials, “Unequal access to savings, negative or invisible credit history, and low relative engagement in mainstream banking are national problems that especially impact renters and contribute to the racial wealth gap. “This leaves renters with a minimal safety net to draw from in times of unemployment or unanticipated expenses such as car repair or medical emergencies. The FSS program helps to keep the unexpected from becoming larger financial problems through savings and support.” 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!

Those of us who know local sports history are acutely aware of an unspoken “what might have been” connected to that choice. The greatest-ever NBAer’s choice undoubtedly had a direct, ripple effect on the professional career of another “greatest ever,” Malden High School legend Carmine Cappuccio. A baseball star on three different stages – in high school, T High School graduate and a former three-time First Team NCAA All-America selectee, played 249 games over three years at MLB’s Triple-AAA level – one step from the big leagues. But that was a big step that was never taken. Jordan shocked the world in 1994 When Michael Jordan shocked the world for the second time in four months on February 7, 1994, and announced he was coming out of retirement to take a swing at a professional baseball career, it was seismic. It made LeBron James’ “The Decision,” when he dumped Cleveland for the first time to run off to Miami in 2010, look like a runof-the-mill TMZ snippet. Between the Sarasota White Sox and South Bend White Sox, Malden’s Carmine Cappuccio had a big year in 1993. (Courtesy Photo) niversary of that fateful decision. NBA fans, particularly those in Chicago, were already still shellshocked from Jordan’s previous news missile, which he launched one day shy of four months earlier. On October 6, 1993, he told the world he was retiring from the Chicago Bulls at the age of 31, after winning the previous three consecutive NBA World Championships. Baseball announcement came out of deep left field The baseball announcement NBA legend Michael Jordan shocked the world when in October 1993 (above) he announced he was retiring from basketball, just months after leading the Chicago Bulls to their third straight World Championship. Four months and a day later, in February 1994, he did it again when he announced he would be pursuing a career in professional baseball. (Courtesy Photo) college and at times, on the pro level – Cappuccio played professional baseball longer than anyone from Malden ever: • Nine seasons • Over 800 games • More than 3,400 plate appearances and 77 homers • A career .291 batting average and 499 career RBIs Cappuccio, a 1988 Malden Jordan’s foray into the world of pro baseball was back in the news four years ago in 2020 due to the wildly popular, 10part ESPN introspective on his life and career, The Last Dance. One of the installments delved into Jordan’s choice to leave basketball behind and move on to another sport. This month, February 2024, marks the 30th an“came out of left field,” but the stature of Jordan in the sports world – there was no one even close at the time – gave his choice instant credibility. It’s Michael Jordan, he can do anything! It certainly did not hurt that two other larger-than-life sports celebrities, Bo Jackson, of “Bo Knows everything” fame, was in the midst of a highly successful two-sport (football, until 1990; baseball, until 1994) career, as was Deion “Prime Time” Sanders. In fact, at the very time Jordan made his baseball bombshell, Jackson was a member of the Chicago White Sox organization. They would end up being in spring training together In his second season of professional baseball, Malden native Carmine Cappuccio played for the Sarasota White Sox in Single-A ball to start the season. (Courtesy Photo) two weeks later. There were plenty of skeptics when this front-page news came out, and lots of sports fans were intrigued by the novelty of this outlandish revelation regarding the hands-down most well-known athlete in the world. Scratch that – the most famous person in the world. Then spring training started and Jordan was settling into his new role, and toward the end of the month-long session, it was made known that Jordan, who had been toiling as an outfielder, was going to be assigned to start the season with the Birmingham Barons, the White Sox Double-A affiliate in Alabama. What? Double-A? Unheard of! No player with such a dearth of experience as Jordan, despite his expected appeal for ticket sales and every other dollar that could be squeezed out of his choice, would start their career as high as Double-A. But he did. We talked about seismic occurrences earlier. Well, the tremors from this announcement traveled nearly 2,000 miles north of the White Sox spring training site in Sarasota, Fla. – all the way to Malden, Mass.

He is one of only two student-athletes in the annals of Malden HS sports history to have his number (Baseball #17) retired by the Malden School Committee. The other is basketball great Willie Barron. Cappuccio’s football team was considered one of the best ever seen at Pearl Street Stadium in the 1986-1988 seasons, where he established new receiving and scoring records for a season and a career, still holding them to this day. As a 6-4 shooting guard, he bombed away for 40 three-pointers in 1987-88, a school record that still stands.

State Championship by pinning Hounain at 1:09 of the first period. Seeded fourth at 120 lbs., Vo pinned Natalie Barney of Framingham just 22 seconds into her first match to advance to the Finals versus Adriana Groat, also of Framingham. Groat, just a freshman, pinned Vo 1:06 into the first period to claim the 120-lb. State Championship. Even though the two Malden/ Everett/GBL wrestlers did not break through to the pinnacle State Championship win, the pair certainly made their community and team proud. “It was an amazing run,” first-year Malden/Everett/GBL Head Coach Kevin Isaza told the Advocate. “Both girls worked so hard all season and they deserved a shot at the State Title.” Coach Isaza said that both Vo and Hounain had registered close to 20 victories each this season. “They wrestled against boys in a lot of our matches and tournaments.” “Katelynn had some great battles at 120 versus some experienced boy and girl wrestlers, Game 2 – Celtics 43, Lakers 40 OT The Emerald surprised the Purple people and squeeze out a much-needed win in overtime, in hopes of defending their title? J. Sweeney led all with an impressive 8-10 from the line. More impressive was 5-6 in the OT. He ended with 16 as teammate C. Mathely added a solid 13. The Lakers’ D. McGuffie led his team with 15, which, shockingly, didn’t score a point of it in the extra frame? The team was only able to muster 2 baskets as the game ended too soon for them. Sunday, Feb. 18, at Ferryway Game 1 – Bullets 66, Celtics 61 OT The Green love their OT games but had a different ending to yesterday’s result. It’s usually the Bullets raining 3s, but it was the Celts with 11 total – 6 of them came from R. Doricent, who had a Big game, ending with a game-high of 24. C. Malave & J. Sweeney had good games also, sharing 13 apiece. But L. Guertin (23) and C. Mijar (20) scored 6 of the 10 points in OT, and G. Biscan had another huge 3 in the OT this time, which made the overall difference, as the Green scored 5 total as a team and helped lock the Blue in the 1st playoff clinch this season. Game 2 – Sixers 49, Pistons 42 The Crimson jumped into a tie for 2nd place with this win. They started slowly and were actually trailing at the half by 5. But thanks to a pair of 13s from A. Martino & C. Joseph, doing most of his damage in the 4th quarter from the line “where everything is Free,” they were able to hold off the pistons for this Victory. The Pistons’ N. Sullivan had 13 of his own; teammate M. Cook scored 10, but getting outscored 18-12 in the last quarter was the proverbial dagger that fell through their grasp.

His senior year, shortly after registering 50 hits and knocking in 51 runs in just 23 games, he had an outrageous .551 career batting average as Malden High’s best-ever baseball star. Cappuccio was awarded the Boston Globe’s inaugural award as the top male athlete in the state of Massachusetts. A stellar collegiate career followed. Baseball paid for his college education at national power Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., where he set every hitting record there was and was a three-time NCAA Division II All-American selectee and a First Team selectee in 1989 (as just a freshman), 1990 and 1992. A freak knee injury running down to first base, legging out a single, in the first inning of the first game of his junior year, in the spring of 1991, sidelined him for the entire season after he underwent ACL repair surgery. Still, despite the injury and missing the entire season, Cappuccio was drafted in the 30th round of the Major League Baseball selection by the Chicago White Sox. Heading into his junior season, before the injury, he was a two-time NCAA All-American pick, rarely seen at any level or time in college baseball, and projected as a top three rounds pick in June 1991. The White Sox still wanted him, but did have much to offer financially for the 30th round so Cappuccio continued his rehabilitation and went to earn an economics degree and play and graduate his senior year.

The White Sox came knocking again, selecting him in the ninth round, with the 251st overall pick. It was the highest a Malden resident had ever been drafted by a Major League Baseball franchise and the first MLB draftee from Malden – in any round– in decades. A professional baseball career awaited and Cappuccio hit the ground running, and being a polished college star at the age of 22, was assigned to the Short Season Single-A South Bend (Ind.) White Sox, in the Midwest League, in the shadow of “Touchdown Jesus,” the home of Notre Dame. There were not one, but two angles to the team Cappuccio grew up rooting for, the Boston Red Sox, that season. First, his first-ever pro baseball manager was none other than Terry “Tito” Francona, who was in his first coaching gig to boot. The other Sox angle was when Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk, then with the White Sox, showed up one day during that 1992 season in South Bend on a rehab stint. Fisk proceeded to hit a home run in the first of three games he played, his first minor league round-tripper since 1971. Cappuccio was doing fine in his pro debut season. He was leading the South Bend Sox in hitting as the season was winding down, at a .291 clip in a platooning role in the outfield and at designated hitter. In early August, he was shipped farther east to the Utica (N.Y.) Blue Sox, along with teammate and fuof 93. He was husband of the late Geradine Fraser, father of daughter Lee Fraser and the late Robert Fraser, and grandfather of Beau Fraser. Richard was born in Norwood in 1930, the son of Harry and Helen Fraser. He was raised and educated in Norwood, graduating from Norwood High School with the Class of 1948. After high school he attended UniversiOBITS| SEE PAGE 16 ture 17-year major leaguer Mike Cameron, to bolster their bench for a playoff run. After an offseason working out in the Malden area with renowned hitting instructor Walt Hriniak, Cappuccio went off to his first spring training with Chicago in February 1993 in Sarasota. He showed enough to be placed on the High Single-A roster of the Sarasota White Sox, but after a slow start, which saw him slip under .200, he was placed back in South Bend with the newly named Silver Hawks and a new manager, Tony Franklin. Big season in 1993 at South Bend for Malden slugger Cappuccio thrived that 1993 season, establishing himself as an up-and-coming White Sox hitting prospect – helping lead South Bend to a Midwest League Championship. He hit .305 with four homers and 52 RBIs in 101 games. He was among the team leaders in extra base hits (26 doubles, 6 triples) and led all everyday players in OPS (.813). Cappuccio was a key man in a strong outfield contingent, which included the likes of Cameron and another future major leaguer, Jimmy Hurst, who hit 20 home runs that season. The next season, in spring of 1994, looked like it could be a big one as to moving up the Chicago White Sox baseball ladder... for all three prospects. —Coming next week, Part Two: How Michael Jordan’s foray into professional baseball 25 years ago in 1994 had a ripple effect locally. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 THALI, AMOGH BUYER2 SELLER1 DEJESUS, MARCIO SELLER2 CAPITAL GAINS TAX EXCLUSION AND IRREVOCABLE TRUSTS ½ of the capital improvements attributed to wife, or $15,000. Selling expenses of $25,000. In this example, the cost basis P eople often question if they transfer their principal residence into an irrevocable trust, will they still be entitled to the capital gains tax exclusion upon a subsequent sale, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 121. The answer is yes. A married couple filing a joint income tax return has the right to exclude up to $500,000 of capital gain on the sale of their principal residence. The limit is $250,000 for a single taxpayer. The capital gain is simply the difference between the selling price and the cost basis of the home. The cost basis of the home is determined by adding the original purchase price, plus capital improvements over theyears as well as expenses associated with selling the home such as a broker’s commission, tax stamps, legal fees, fixing up expenses and any other expenses associated with the sale. In some cases, you also have the benefit of using the date of death value as part of the cost basis if one of the spouses were to die. For example, if husband and wife purchased a home 25 years ago for $250,000 and the husband died 10 years ago when the home’s value was $350,000, upon a subsequent sale of the home by the wife, the cost basis is computed as follows (also assume capital improvements prior to husband’s death were $30,000 and selling expense were $25,000): ½ of the $250,000 purchase price is allocated to wife, or $125,000. She only owned 50% of the home. ½ of the fair market value of home at the time of husband’s death is $175,000 ($350,000 x ½, since the husband only had a 50% interest in the home at the time of his death). would be $340,000 ($125,000 + $175,000 + $15,000 + $25,000). If the home were sold for $575,000, the capital gain would be $235,000. The entire gain would be non-taxable. Since the husband passed away, one half of the fair market value of the home at thetime of his death enters into the calculation of the wife’s cost basis. This is referred to as the “step-up in cost basis”. For the $500,000 capital gains tax exclusion to apply, the married couple must have lived in the home for 2 out of the previous 5 years prior to the actual sale. Since the irrevocable income-only trust is designed to qualify under the “grantor-type” trust rules, the law treats the Settlors/Donors/Grantors of the trust as the owners for tax purposes. What makes the trust a grantor-type trust for capital gains tax purposes is the reserved right in the Settlors to direct where the trust principal and/or income of the trust can go during the Settlors’ lifetime. In accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 674(a), this retained power is what makes the trust a grantor-type trust for capital gains tax purposes, thereby preserving the capital gains tax exclusion. This is referred to as a lifetime special power of appointment. Most often, a lifetime special power of appointment and a testamentary special power of appointment provision is included in an irrevocable Trust. The testamentary special power of appointment is designed to allow the Settlor the ability to change the ultimate beneficiary of the Trust by exercising that power of appointment via the Settlor’s Last Will and Testament being submitted to a probate court upon death. A power of appointment is essentially a power to redirect where the Trust principal will go. This also results in an incomplete gift for gift tax purposes. Joseph D.

I’ve read that electric toothbrushes can help make the job easier. Can you make any recommendations for seniors? Arthritic Alice Dear Alice, For seniors who suff er from arthritis or have other hand weaknesses or tremors, an electric toothbrush is an often turned to solution for keeping your teeth clean. At the push of a button, an electric toothbrush will do everything but shake, rattle and roll to do the cleaning for you, and most come with a wide, slightly weighted handle and rubberized grip that make them easier and more comfortable to hold on to. How to Choose With dozens of diff erent electric toothbrushes on the market today, here are several points to consider to help you choose: Cost: The cost of electric toothbrushes will range from $10 for a model with replaceable AA batteries to more than $200 for some models with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, multiple brushing modes, smartphone integrations, and other features. How much are you willing to spend? Brushing action: Brush heads tend to be either “spinning” (they rotate very fast in one direction, then the other, and bristles may pulsate in and out) or “sonic” (they vibrate side to side). Both methods are eff ective and a matter of personal preference. Electric versus battery: Choose a brush with a built-in rechargeable battery and an electric charging station. They’re much more convenient and cost eff ective than toothbrushes that use replaceable batteries. Brushing timer: Since most dentists recommend brushing for two minutes (most adults average about 45 seconds), get an electric toothbrush with a built-in brushing timer – most have them. Some brushes will even split the two minutes onto four 30-second intervals and will notify you when it’s time to switch to a diff erent quadrant of your mouth. Extra features: Most higher-priced electric brushes come with extra features like cleaning modes, pressure sensors, a charge-level display and more. There are even “smart” toothbrushes that connect to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth to track brushing habits. What extra features do you want? Best Electric Toothbrushes According to Consumer Reports – an independent, nonprofi t product testing and research organization – the top electric toothbrushes for 2024 are the Oral-B iO 7 Series ($150); Oral B Genius X 10000 ($200); Bruush Electric Toothbrushes ($95); and the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 ($120). And the top rated low-cost electric toothbrush is the Brightline 86700 ($30). The New York Times Wirecutter, another popular product reviewing service, rates the Oral-B Pro 1000 ($40) as the best electric toothbrush followed by the Philips Sonicare 4100 ($40). Easier Flossing Tools If fl ossing has become challenging too, a good alternative to traditional string fl oss are fl oss picks. These are disposable plastic-handle tools that have fl oss threaded onto them, which makes them easier to hold and use. DenTek, Oral-B and others sell packages for a few dollars or check out the Listerine UltraClean Access Flosser, which comes with a toothbrush-like handle for a better reach. Some other fl ossing products to consider that are easy on the hands are the WaterPik Power Flosser ($15), which gently vibrates to dislodge embedded food particles between your teeth. Or consider a water fl osser, which use high-pressured pulsating water to remove food particles and plaque and will stimulate your gums in the process. WaterPik off ers a variety of water fl ossing products at prices ranging between $40 and $140, as does Oral Breeze, which off ers the Shower Breeze and Quick Breeze water fl ossers (around $40) that connects directly to your faucet or shower head. All of these dental care products can also be found at your local pharmacy or retailer that sells personal care items or online. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
