THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 24, 2023 Page 3 City awards ARPA funds to YMCA pandemic, and the funds will help support programming, including the operation of its food market to over 8,600 Malden residents and their full-time childcare service for low-income families. Despite facility closures and restrictions during Covid, the Mystic Valley YMCA ramped up its emergency food and meal distribution program and performed Covid outreach. Supporting nonprofits in general is an allowable use of ARPA, particularly given the difficulty these organizations faced during the pandemic in carrying out their mission. The Mystic Valley YMCA was founded in 1881 and serves the communities of Everett, Malden and Medford. Governed by a 17-member Board of Directors, they employ 165 staff and 80 volunteers and provide services to over 28,000 individuals each year. Operating from their facility in Malden, the YMCA serves residents of all ages in these communities.

The late-developing storm began with a drastic drop in temperature into the mid-30s by midday Wednesday, followed with a slushy mix of sleet, rain and snow up until about 1:00 a.m. Thursday. The thermometer went well below freezing into the high 20s after midnight, and heavy snow fell from about 1:00 to 5:00 a.m., dumping up to four inches of snow in The Advocate readership area of Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 24, 2023 Page 5 MUSINGS | FROM PAGE 3 son. Just two days earlier on Presidents’ Day, Monday, Boston set a new February 20 high temperature record of 63 degrees. All the elements of weather combined to make it into a mini-nor’easter and sloppy, slow commute for the hundreds of thousands of residents making their way to work early Thursday morning. The snow continued in light fashion for several hours more during the day on Thursday, with not much accumulation. City and town DPW crews and hired help were out in the early morning hours clearing the streets and roadways and spreading salt and sand for safety. State and local police reported a number of motor vehicle accidents both on the highways and in cities and towns due to the hazardous travel conditions and timing of the storm. The local communities did dodge a potential major issue which could have posed a problem, as all public and parochial schools in the region were closed this week due to February School Vacation. While personnel were out clearing the snow from the school facilities as usual during the storm, it most definitely would have been a “Snow Day” for schools due to the timing of the snow and other weather conditions. It would have been highly unlikely the snow could have been cleared around sidewalks and on the stairs of the schools to make for safe passage. The weather pattern is forecast to remain sketchy – and more wintry! – for the rest of the month, into March. Colder, more seasonal temperatures in the high 30s and low 40s are sticking around for the next two weeks, according to Accuweather, with more snow expected mid-to-late week, March 1-3, and again, snow is forecast for March 8-10 as Ole Man Winter apparently wants to get his last blasts in before spring officially arrives on Sunday, March 20.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 24, 2023 ~ Malden Musings ~ Bob Rotondi Speaks By Peter Levine I t’s Bob Rotondi’s world, we just live in it. Let’s take a few moments out of our busy lives to take a stroll down Malden Memory Lane. It’s a glorious trip, a trip that is remembered fondly by those who took the original one but a trip that could be of equal joy to those amongst us that have recently chosen Malden as their home. The memory bank overfl ows – the past vivid – with each Maldonian capturing in their mind’s eye their own unique journey from their own unique corner of the world. God’s country: Malden, Mass. With each passing day we lose yet another voice of those whose (oral) histories need to be remembered.

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

I'm challenging the Honorable One in years of service. Right here, right now. Going back to the Jurassic Period (1969), Mayor [Walter] Kelliher appointed me to the Recreation Commission then I was re-appointed by Mayor [Jim] Conway. Mayor [Tom] Fallon followed. Then Conway again. Mayor [Ed] Lucey then re-appointed me followed by – the mayor with the sharpest elbows at the old YMCA – Richie ‘Ace’ Howard.

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

The Class of ’88 was the fi rst graduating class under Johnny B as Assistant Principal, who served alongside (my sister-in-law) Marguerite Gonsalves as Class Advisor. This duo served to shape the Have you listened yet? What are you waiting for?! If you like “the greatest hits of all time,” you will love this station. Trust me on this one. • I have been really good, haven’t mentioned Preacher Jack in at least six months. Insert smiley face. In 1981 Preacher Jack was touring solo on his second Rounder release, “3,000 Barrooms Later.” He’s doing a bunch of solo one-night stands in Toronto (Canada) accompanied by his (then) manager and (forever) spiritual adviser, his future wife, Jessie Filtrante. He’s sharing a stage with Ry Cooder for part of the tour. Cooder played at various times in his long and successful career with The Rolling Stones, Captain Beefheart and bluegrass superstar Bill Munroe. Also, on that long ago tour traveling the same long, lonely byways and highways, but just the night before Jack’s gigs, was a young John Prine. Jack and Jessie would have coff ee, smokes and “holy herb” with John when their paths would cross on their travails. An 11-minute video recently popped up on YouTube of a fresh-faced couple, Preacher Jack and Jessie, being interviewed on February 16, 1981, by “New Music Toronto TV.” The interviewer escorts Jack and Jessie into a coff ee shop and asks a question or two before Jack goes into a familiar Preacher Jack fi libuster. Classic Jasper Jack and the exasperated look on Jessie’s face, priceless! • Happy birthday, Preacher Jack! Believe it or not Jasper Jack would have turned 81 on Abe Lincoln’s date of birth. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – Damn! That went quick! It’s been almost nine years (October of 2014) since Maura Healey introduced herself to Maldonians. She visited Malden. I was invited along that morning.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 24, 2023 Page 7 Polymnia Choral Society set to perform Considering Matthew Shepard on March 5 T he Polymnia Choral Society of Melrose will perform the ground-breaking oratorio, Considering Matthew Shepard, on Sunday, March 5, at 3:30 PM, at the Performing Arts Center at Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School, 350 Lynn Fells Parkway, Melrose, MA. The doors will open at 2:30 PM. Originally scheduled for March 2020, the concert fell victim to the COVID pandemic. Polymnia has waited three years for the local premier of this Grammy-nominated work, composed by Craig Hella Johnson and conducted by Polymnia’s Artistic Director, Murray Kidd. The choral ensemble consists of over 50 members of Polymnia Choral Society and 20 students from the Bedford High School honors choir. The performance will feature professional baritone soloist Craig Juricka. There will also be an 8-person orchestra of professional musicians. Matthew Shepard, a 21-yearold gay student, was brutally attacked and left to die in Laramie, Wyoming, in 1998. Subsequently, his parents, Judy and Dennis Shepard, founded the Matthew Shepard Foundation to honor their son’s life and to highlight the importance of standing up for the LGBTQ+ community. The world’s reacMUSINGS | FROM PAGE 6 with a guy with some mad deep Malden roots, political consultant with serious chops, Michael Goldman. Political junkies and Maldonians of a certain age will recognize the name Michael Goldman but mostly he flies under the radar. Former Governor Deval Patrick, (the late, great) Teddy Kennedy, former Boston Mayor (current U.S. Secretary of Labor) Marty Walsh, and former Governor Mike Dukakis – you name a Democratic political goo goo muck in Massachusetts in the past 35 or so years and Mike has had a hand in their success. For somebody who has moved in the circles that Mike has moved in there is not a more down to earth person walking planet earth. Heck, even resident contrarian, and the scourge of all Massachusetts ‘moon bats’ the Heralds’ Howie Carr likes Mike! But I digress... Maura met with Mayor Christenson, Kathleen Manning-Hall, Maria Luise, Kevin Duffy, (then) Ward 2 Councilor Steve Ultrino, and State Senator Jason Lewis in the war room at City Hall and was briefed on all the good things happening in our fair city at that time in history. We took a tion to the horrific hate crime inspired Johnson to create the oratorio as a space for reflection, consideration, and unity around Shepard’s life. The oratorio uses many musical styles including classical, contemporary, spoken word, Gregorian chant, Broadway, and country music, to tell the story of Matthew Shepard’s life, murder, and legacy. The chorus will be accompanied by a live orchestra of professional musicians from the greater Boston area. The audience will experience deeply meaningful and moving songs. Following the performance, a talkback session will allow audience members time to consider the underlying lessons of the tragedy. While the piece focuses on the horrific death of Shepard, a white man, Polymnia feels it is of equal importance to acknowledge that James Byrd Jr., a Black man, a husband, and a father of three children, was also murdered a few months before Matthew on June 7th, 1998. Byrd’s murder was the result of a racially motivated attack by known white supremacists. Both Byrd’s and Shepard’s deaths were the catalyst for the creation of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which was signed into law in 2009 by walk down Pleasant Street and stopped at a couple of anchors of the Square in those days. First stop was “Oppa’s Kitchen & Bar” where we were greeted by the big boss, Tony. Next up was Mystic Station. I finally got to meet the new owner in person, Bryan Palazzola. Craft Beer heaven with surprise employee, straight outta Edgeworth, Karen Picardi behind the stick. After, we stood outside, took a few pictures, and wished Maura good luck. I found Maura to be down to earth with a firm handshake, looking directly into your eyes (and not over your shoulder).” Goes a long way with me when meeting a politician who wants my vote.

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

Triangle was among 85 community organizations to receive more than $46 million in Home and Community-based Services (HCBS) and Human Services Workforce grants through the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) for training, recruiting or retaining the HCBS and human service workforce in Massachusetts. “We are incredibly grateful for this grant,” said Triangle, Inc. CEO Coleman Nee. “It is essential to educate all our employees on matters of racial equity and disability justice to help them thrive in a diverse, modern workplace. Our ongoing racial equity and disability justice eff orts are essential to our mission and to building a strong, inclusive workplace culture. Triangle is committed to enhancing diversity, equity and inclusion.” In June 2020, a group of Triangle employees formed the organization’s fi rst Racial Equity Task Force. The group developed and distributed a survey to all Triangle staff members to better assess the need for future racial equity work within the organization and to learn more about their unique experiences at Triangle. The survey results showed a need to address Triangle’s workplace culture and to make sure that all members of the Triangle staff are represented, respected and heard regarding matters of diversity, equity and inclusion. In response to the survey, the Racial Equity Task Force and the organization’s executive leadership and Board of Directors hired Lovelace Consulting Services, Inc., an internationally respected Racial Equity consulting fi rm, to learn more about Triangle’s needs and to facilitate follow-up steps. Additionally, Triangle reexamined its own internal policies related to disability inclusion in the workplace. The grant, which was awarded in December, will allow Triangle to continue and expand its racial equity and disability justice work for the next 18 months. That work includes: • Continued monthly Racial Equity training sessions for all staff members. • Development and implementation of quarterly Disability Justice trainings for staff members across the organization that will provide a deeper understanding of disability history, workplace disability inclusion, and ableism. • Development and implementation of monthly Disability Justice micro-trainings for new hires that will be included as part of the Human Resources orientation process. • Support a portion of Triangle’s Human Resources Recruitment Specialist’s time dedicated to developing strategic recruitment initiatives and adopt best practices as the organization expands pipelines for new hires that refl ect the diversity of its client and participant population. • Support a portion of Triangle’s Human Resources Director’s time as they develop new organizational policies that will ensure the examination of all current but outdated staff policies to build a more inclusive culture that de-emphasizes structural racism and adopts best practices that encourage the hiring and promotion of diverse candidates. • Support for a third-party ombudsman or representative who will serve as an external resource for Triangle staff members to voice any concerns or violations of organizational policy related to Racial Equity or Disability Justice. These initiatives will help Triangle build a transformed culture among existing staff members that emphasizes their unique identities as an asset to the organization. In addition, this ongoing work will allow Triangle to establish stronger recruitment, hiring and retention practices.

Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 24, 2023 Jr. Aid Association of Malden returns successful Handbag Bingo O n Friday, February 17, the Junior Aid Association of Malden brought back their highly sought-after event, Handbag Bingo, for the first time since 2019. The Ballroom at Anthony’s of Malden was filled with a sellout crowd of 400 guests. If you were lucky enough to get your hands on a ticket, you were encouraged to wear red attire to show support of American Heart Month. The Junior Aid Association of Malden is led by President Susan Higgins. The nonprofit organization has 40 dedicated, hardworking women who share one common goal: raise funds for women, children and health-related issues – and have fun while doing it! Handbag Bingo was just that, a fun-filled and successful fundraiser planned by Handbag Bingo Chairwoman Helen Kipnis along with Committee Members Mary Ann Cutler, Mary Doucette, Barbara LaMattina and Jaclyn Rosa. The event included playing Bingo for designer handbags that were donated by the organization and its members. Anthony of Malden’s lobby was filled with raffle items, including gift cards donated from local businesses like Nicolo Salon (Melrose), Gloss Nail Studio & Spa (Melrose), Wellness & Aesthetics with Sonia (Peabody) and Hair Matters (Methuen). Handbag Bingo raised $20,000 to benefit women, children and health-related issues in Malden and surrounding communities. Local high school students volunteered for community service to assist the Handbag Bingo Committee with planning: Cora and Ella Holden and Áine LaFaci from Masconomet Regional High School, Diane Pedrini from Arlington Catholic and Shawn Newman from Malden Catholic. You could hear the laughter of the crowd pouring out onto Canal Street – caused by the Masters of Ceremonies, Greg Rosa and Scott Cutler, who kept guests smiling all night long. “On behalf of the Junior Aid Association of Malden, I would like to express my gratitude to all those in the community who supported Handbag Bingo. We were so excited to finally hold a large fundraiser again! The event was a success because of so many: our members’ donations, the guests who purchased tickets, local businesses who donated towards our raffles, the student volunteers and our charismatic MCs. Anthony’s of Malden provided us with a great venue and a delicious meal for our guests. I’d especially like to thank the Handbag Bingo Committee who dedicated months to planning this amazing event. Their hard work shined through!” said President Susan Higgins. The Junior Aid Association of Malden has been a fixture in Malden for over 110 years. They are dedicated to providing financial assistance to charitable organizations throughout Malden and the surrounding communities.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 24, 2023 Page 13 ELECTION | FROM PAGE 1 date announced for City Council so far this municipal election year is lifelong Malden resident Sheila Rachels, who said in an online report in January that she intends to run for Ward 2 Councillor and that she had filed paperwork in the Malden City Clerk’s Office to organize a campaign committee. At the time, Councillor Condon had not announced if he would seek reelection (and still has not, aside from the boost from the estimable scribe Levine). If the cards fall as expected, Councillor Condon will be squaring off with at least one challenger this fall. Our speculation, as we can spy the caboose on the month of February pulling up to the gate early next week? In addition to Colón Hayes, Condon and Linehan, the Advocate formally forecasts that all of the incumbents on the City Council eventually announce they will seek reelection to their posts for another two-year term. If this year’s municipal political fray resembles anything close to the last one in 2021, where six Ward Councillors were challenged and there was a wide-open race for Councillor-at-Large with a rare two open seats, we could be in for quite an election year. On the School Committee side, only Ward 6 representative Joseph Gray has come out and said he would seek reelection, for what would be his third term. We will once again forecast that all eight of the ward incumbents will seek another term on School Committee. As for challengers? We have heard of none as of this week. We also expect this will all become clear sooner rather than later, so as to get a head start on campaign season. Everyone’s personal calendar gets fuller and fuller each year, and those filing dates jump out at candidates like speed bumps on the road. The Advocate intends to check in with each of the incumbents on both municipal governing bodies and see where they stand as for the 2023 election and will inform our readers of the same. Stay tuned. **** Mayor Christenson is now running unopposed; will it stay that way the rest of the campaign? Malden Mayor Gary Christenson announced at an October campaign event he will be seeking a fourth four-year term in this upcoming fall’s municipal election. If reelected, it is believed Mayor Christenson would equal his predecessor, Richard Howard (1996-2012) as the longest-serving Mayor in Malden’s history, in completing 16 fresh beginning in Malden A few restaurants and other 2023 ELECTION: In Malden, 2023 is a Municipal Election year and also a Mayoral Election Year with the Mayor’s post and positions on the City Council and School Committee in contention. years as the city’s CEO in 2027. First elected in 2011, he would also be the first Mayor elected to four consecutive four-year terms and the third to be elected to four consecutive mayoral terms of any length, since Howard in the 1990s up to 2012 and former Mayor Walter Kelliher in the 1960s into the 1970s. So, after being challenged in the open seat election of 2011 and defeating former fellow City Councillor Kathryn Fallon, running unopposed in 2015 and defeating former Councillor John Matheson in 2019, is the same pattern arising here? Will Mayor Christenson be running unopposed this fall? As February draws to a close, it might appear that way, as no challengers have spoken up and there is little talk around the city of any imminent mayoral campaigns other than the incumbents. There were rumors back in 2021, both during that year’s municipal election and for some time after the results and swearing-in ceremony, that at least one – and perhaps two – Malden City Councillors were eyeing potential mayoral runs in this 2023 election. Not much of that talk has panned out, however, as neither of those rumored Councillors have given any hint of mounting such a challenge this time around. In other nearby communities, challenges to incumbent mayors or runs for open mayoral seats have also come from seated state legislators at times. The only Malden resident among the three state representatives and state senator who represent us at the State House is longtime Rep. Steve Ultrino. Who introduced Mayor Christenson at his packed house reelection announcement event in May 2022 at Mixx360 Nightlife on Broadway? Yes, it was Rep. Ultrino. Enough said. Another Advocate forecast: Mayor Christenson will run unopposed this fall and be reelected to a historic fourth four-year term. **** While many restaurants still struggling as COVID risks decline, several new ones still willing for a establishments serving food, drink or both in Malden – mostly situated in or around Malden Square – are at least doing a lot better in the “lesser” COVID times of today. But many are still struggling, as a litany of issues threaten and constrict their revenue streams. Most notable are the very real supply chain woes, with holes popping unexpectedly and often, either sending acquisition prices skyrocketing, limiting supply choices severely at times, or both. Another factor is personnel-related, as restaurant and eatery owners and operators in Malden and statewide are faced with chronic shortages of workers in every aspect of the businesses, from cooks to waitresses and bartenders, to dishwashers. The rising minimum wage – one of the highest in the nation in Massachusetts at $15.00 per hour, $6.75 for tipped servers – also directly jacks up fixed costs at restaurants as they struggle to increase their profits. That is why as it is encouraging to see busy and often very close to capacity restaurants in the downtown Malden Square environs on at least Wednesday through Saturday nights – not a parking space to be had – on one hand and on the othCouncillor-at-Large Karen Colón Hayes announced earlier this month she would seek reelection to a second term. er, new establishments opening in Malden.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 24, 2023 Page 15 Malden Catholic will honor first inductees into Brother Daniel Cremin, C.F.X. Athletic Hall of Fame on March 2 Seven former student-athletes, two coaches, first super 8 champion hockey teams are among the honorees By Nick Toscani H istory will be made and a lot of history will be recalled on Thursday, March 2 when Malden Catholic High School (MC) inducts the first-ever members of the new Brother Daniel Cremin, C.F.X. Athletic Hall of Fame. Spanning 72 years of Malden Catholic Lancer excellence on the courts, fields and rinks by seven former student-athletes, two coaches and a pair of championship teams, the school will honor its Hall of Fame charter members with a banquet and ceremony before a sold-out audience of over 350 at Anthony's function hall (105 Canal St., Malden). Malden Catholic had originally supported a Lancer Hall of Fame in the past, but has not held an induction ceremony since 2005, nearly 20 years. In recognition of Malden Catholic’s longest serving Xaverian Brother, MC has dedicated its Hall of Fame to Brother Daniel Cremin, C.F.X., who spent 23 years at the school coaching and teaching physical education instruction and 23 years at the school as a counselor. The school’s Hall of Fame was originally established in 1989, and it celebrated the institution’s strong athletic history and outstanding individual athlete, team, coach and volunteer accomplishments with a formal induction into the MC Hall of Fame for 16 years. The newly reignited Brother Daniel Cremin, C.F.X., Hall of Fame will celebrate the new 2022 inductees on March 2, 2023. “Brother Dan’s commitment to MC and his athletic accomplishments are unprecedented,” said Malden Catholic President John Thornburgh. “In light of Brother Dan’s retirement after 46 years, we are delighted to honor him for his lifelong dedication to the school and feature his outstanding success along with the positive athletic accomplishments of our talented alumni and alumnae who have performed so well over the years.” Following are the Charter Members of the Brother Daniel Cremin, C.F.X.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 24, 2023 WHY IRREVOCABLE TRUSTS ARE MOST OFTEN A BETTER CHOICE OVER LEGAL LIFE ESTATES B y placing your home, rental property or other assets into an irrevocable trust, the five year look back period will begin. Five years later, the assets in the irrevocable Trust will not be countable for MassHealth eligibility purposes. Furthermore, not only is probate avoided upon the Settlor’s death (i.e. the creator of the trust), but probate would also be avoided if a child/beneficiary were to die prior to the Settlor (i.e. parent). The predeceased child’s children or even grandchildren would become a beneficiary of the trust and that child’s beneficial interest in the trust would escape the probate process. If that child leaves minor children behind, the trustee would follow the terms of the trust and pay for items such as medical expenses, educational expenses, house expenses, etc. If, on the other hand, a parent chooses to deed the home or rental property to his or her children directly, while reserving a life estate, and one of the children were to predecease the parent, that child’s remainder interest in that property would be part of his or her probate estate. As estate planners, we try to avoid the probate process whenever possible for many reasons, such as cost and time delays. This could present a problem many years down the road if no one takes steps to probate the estate of the predeceased child. Furthermore, in a legal life estate situation, the parent would need the consent of the child who has a remainder interest in the property in order to sell the property. With an irrevocable trust, the child has no current ownership interest. The trustee is free to sell the real estate any time without the consent of the child. If the trust is drafted as a grantor-type trust, the capital gain exclusion of $500,000 on the sale of the principal residence will still be afforded to the Settlor of the trust. If it was rental property that was sold, the entire capital gain would still be reported by the Settlor on his or her tax return. The children would not be reporting any of the capital gains transactions on their own tax returns. The trust would actually file a tax return as a grantor-type trust and then issue a grantor letter to the Settlor (also referred to as a Grantor). With a legal life estate, the capital gain on the sale of a home or rental property would have to be allocated to the parent who reserved the life estate and the children who are the remaindermen. The computation for IRS purposes is based on the Book Aleph table and the IRS Section 7520 interest rates. For MassHealth purposes, at least for now, the computation is based upon the Social Security POMS tables. Hopefully, MassHealth will agree to use the IRS tables as the IRS tables are much more favorable to the life tenant if the home were to be sold, for example, as less of the net sales proceeds will be placed back on the table for the life tenant only to be included as a countable asset for MassHealth eligibility purposes. With an irrevocable trust, if the home or rental property is sold and converted to cash, the cash is safe inside the irrevocable trust. There is no risk of the trust assets becoming countable. If the parent decides to serve as trustee and there is a trust provision allowing for use and occupancy of any real estate held in trust, then any real estate abatement offered by the city or town will remain intact. It will not be lost due to placing the home into trust. The trust must be absolutely clear that there can be no principal distributions to the Settlor under any circumstances and that the Trustee must strictly adhere to the terms of the trust and comply with each and every fiduciary duty owed to the remaindermen of the Trust.

Malden Catholic 4-0 Senior Night Victory vs Smithfield Advocate Staff Report M alden resident Preston Tully dominated the crease for Malden Catholic en route to a 4-0 victory over Smithfield (R.I.) on the Lancers’ Senior Night at the Malden Valley Forum rink.

Dear Savvy Senior, What are the symptoms of thyroid disease? I’ve been dealing with a number of health issues over the past few years, and a friend of mine recently suggested I get my thyroid checked because it might be causing my problems. Almost 66 Jose Ferreira (5), a Golden Tornados sophomore guard, drives to the basket with good eff ort in the win over Revere. Dear Almost, If your thyroid is out of whack, it can cause a number of health issues that can be tricky to detect because the symptoms often resemble other age-related health problems. In fact, as many as 30 million Americans have some form of thyroid disorder, but more than half aren’t aware of it. What to Know The thyroid is a small butterfl y-shaped gland located at the base of your neck that has a huge job. It produces hormones (called T3 and T4) that help regulate the rate of many of your body’s activities, from how quickly you burn calories to how fast your heart beats. It also infl uences the function of the brain, liver, kidneys and skin. If the gland is underactive and doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones, it causes body systems to slow down. If it’s overactive, and churns out too much thyroid, it has the opposite effect, speeding up the body’s processes. The symptoms for an underactive thyroid (also known as hyJustin Bell (14) looks for a layup against a Somerville defender.

Some patients may even develop an enlarged thyroid (goiter) at the base of the neck. However, in older adults, it can cause other symptoms like memory impairment, loss of appetite, weight loss, falls or even incontinence. And the symptoms of an overactive thyroid (or hyperthyroidism) may include a rapid heart rate, anxiety, irritability, fatigue, insomnia, increased appetite, weight loss, tremors of the hand, frequent bowel movements, sweating, as well as an enlarged thyroid gland. Too much thyroid can also cause atrial fi brillation, aff ect blood pressure and decrease bone density, which increases the risk of osteoporosis. Those with the greatest risk of developing thyroid disorders are women who have a family history of the disease. Other factors that can trigger thyroid problems include: autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s or Graves disease; thyroid surgery; radiation treatments to the neck or upper chest; and certain medications including interferon alpha and interleukin-2 cancer medications, amiodarone heart medication and lithium for bipolar disorder. Get Tested If you have any of the aforementioned symptoms, or if you’ve Jonald Joseph (21) lays one in against Somerville. He scored 19 points in the Malden win.

It went in! had previous thyroid problems or notice a lump in the base of your neck, ask your doctor to check your thyroid levels. The TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) blood test is used to diagnosis thyroid disorders but depending on what they fi nd, additional blood tests may be necessary. If you are diagnosed with a thyroid problem, it’s easily treated. Standard treatment for hypothyroidism involves daily use of the synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine (Levothroid, Synthroid and others), which is an oral medication that restores adequate hormone levels. And treatments for hyperthyroidism may include an anti-thyroid medication such as methimazole and propylthiouracil, which blocks the production of thyroid hormones. Another option is radioactive iodine, which is taken orally and destroys the overactive thyroid cells and causes the gland to shrink. But this can leave the thyroid unable to produce any hormone and it’s likely that you’ll eventually become hypothyroid and need to start taking thyroid medication.

While there may be challenges such as location and property conditions, there is also one challenge that the homeowner can overcome prior to placing their property for sale. That challenge is clutter. The late comedian George Carlin joked about America’s obsession with “stuff.” We see whole industries based on America’s obsession with “stuff.” Self-storage and junk haulers come to mind. Cluttered properties are less attractive for potential buyers. It can be hard to see past the clutter to visualize the potential and imagine the space as their own. Buyers may also be concerned about the cost of removing and disposing of the clutter and potentially dangerous items. Our advice to property owners who plan to sell soon is to begin de-cluttering at least 3 months before offering the property for sale. Waiting to the last minute can cost you a lot more than the value of the “stuff” you want to save. Rentals Available Saugus, 6 rooms, 3 bedroom for $2900.00 3 bedroom in Peabody $3500.00, washer dryer hookup and plenty of parking on both units Call Christine at 603-670-3353 For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net agre ement U n er agreement d nder Under
