THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 28, 2023 ~ Malden Musings ~ Page 3 “Judith Sullivan Retires” By Peter F. Levine “S he’s the king of rock, there is none higher! “Sucker MCs should call her sire! “To burn her kingdom, you must use fi re! “She won’t stop rockin’ till she retires!” Well, the time has come, Judy Brandano Sullivan aka the Queen B (I just made that nickname up) has called it a career after decades of dedicating her life to the good and welfare of Malden High School and the many, many generations of children who have walked through those hallowed front doors. Judy married well, that is fact – both her and her adoring hubby Mike calling Edgeworth home for an eternity. In case ya didn’t know...Judy and her family go way back in Malden’s history and were vital contributors to Malden’s success over the years. That ain’t no bull! For newbies to Malden: Judy’s family literally built this city (not on rock n roll but hard work – Jeff erson Starship lyric name drop). “Jumbo Brandano” was a legendary character from the early part of last century who, along with many other hard-working Italian immigrants, built the Malden infrastructure that we utilize today while laboring for the D.P.W. As a kid growing up in Edgeworth, I would hear Jumbo Brandano stories from old-timers in the neighborhood. By adulthood – in my mind’s eye – Jumbo had turned into “Big Bad John” – “sixfoot-six and weighed two-fortyfi ve, kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip.” For real! Much like the Spadaforas, Gennettis, Cagnos, Damianos, Maffeos, Pisaturos, Molinaris, Malatestas, Fermanos, Puleos and Angelos – the Brandanos and Malden’s good fortune have gone hand in hand. Families that made Malden their home; families that flourished and gave back to the city they loved, selflessly dedicating their lives for the betterment of the community in so many ways, all the way down to Judy (not Spadafora) Brandano Sullivan. With that said, I asked former M.H.S. Principal Dana Brown to say a word or two about “Jude.” Jude worked in the offi ce during the glory days that were the Dana Brown era. (Dana is so much more than “former M.H.S. Principal” – in many ways he was the backbone for many generations of Maldonians – I will continue my D.B. lovefest at a later date.) Take it away, Mr. Brown: “It is an honor and pleasure told, for many of those years, it didn’t seem like a job because of Jude. We laughed a lot, and there were even some watery eyes along the way. We shared our family stories, and even some of the family secrets. It was an honor to have her at the desk right outside my offi ce for many years. “There is nothing, and I mean nothing more important to Judie than her family and she loved to talk about them in such great ways that we all felt we were part of that family. The holidays, the vacations in York, the grandkids…Judie was really at her best talking about the family stuff . “Then there was her second family, the students, and staff at M.H.S. When I first worked for Judy at the high school… I mean when Judy and I worked together at M.H.S. she was workMUSINGS| SEE PAGE 17 9 ANGELO’S A FULL SERVICE 1978-2023 Celebrating 45 Years in Business!

Ultrino has long been advocating for expanding MSP eligibility to provide quality healthcare to more low-income seniors in the Commonwealth L ast Wednesday the Massachusetts House’s Committee on Ways and Means released their version of the FY24 Budget (H.3900 – https://malegislature. gov/Bills/193/H3900), which will be open to debate and amendments from legislators before it is finalized later this month. One of the highlights of the House budget includes an outside section that codifies the elimination of asset limits for Medicare Savings Program (MSP) applications. The provision was included previously in Governor Maura Healey’s FY24 Budget and mirrors legislation drafted and filed by Representative Steve Ultrino. It would require MassHealth to disregard all assets or resources when determining eligibility for MSP. Reforms to eligibility standards for MSP has been a priority for Representative Ultrino’s office since he was first elected.

For this session, the Representative has filed H.1248 (https://malegislature.gov/Bills/193/H1248), which similarly seeks to eliminate the asset limit for MSPs and to reduce healthcare expenses for lower-income seniors by expanding the Commonwealth's eligibility standards to 300% Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Currently, Massachusetts seniors must have limited assets and limited income to qualify for MSP. Massachusetts seniors who apply for MSP are often turned away because of the value of life insurance policies and other similar assets. The current asset limit is $18,180 per individual and $27,260 per married couple. Countable assets might include everything from cash, stocks, bonds, investments, IRAs, bank accounts (including credit union, savings and checking) to any remaining funds from COVID-19 stimulus checks, the cash surrender value of life insurance policies, and real estate in which one does not reside. This change will ensure that the tens of thousands of seniors who are already income elWINNER | FROM PAGE 1 thankful for their support and hard work on this bill.” “We, members of MSAC, are Steve Ultrino State Representative igible will be able to access this important and valuable benefit, significantly reducing barriers to affordable health care. “I am excited and proud to see Medicare Savings Program asset limits eliminated as part of the FY24 House Ways and Means Budget,” said Representative Ultrino. “I have discussed the need for more equitable and accessible health care for our seniors’ health care with Chair Michlewitz and Speaker Mariano before. By including this section, House Leadership is showing their dedication to protecting and providing accessible and quality health care for our seniors – and I am extremely City leaders are continually looking for ways to improve their Lead Line Replacement Program, which this year will include implementing a new system of prioritization. Remediation efforts will be prioritized based on which existing lead lines serve the greatest density of households with young children. Ward 6 Councillor Steve Winslow added: “I am happy to have collaborated with our Conservation Chair Isaac Slavitt and City Engineer Yem Lip on conceiving and implementing an approach focusing federal, state and local resources to remove lead pipes first in areas where the most children live. With this approach lead pipes have or are being removed near our Early Learning Center and a large day care center along with one of our lowest income neighborhoods along Newland Street. Thanks to the Malden Public and Cheverus Catholic School for their assistance on providing critical data used to develop this risked based approach.” “It's great to see our city recognized for innovation in this year’s Smart Cities awards. Everyone probably agrees we should target infrastructure funds where the impact will be greatest, but overjoyed to see that the Ways and Means Committee has removed the asset limit for seniors applying for Medicare Savings Plan. Our organization’s MSP committee has been working on affordable health care for seniors through the Medicare Savings Plan for over eight years now,” said MSAC Metro North Membership Coordinator Karen Lynch. “This news comes as a great victory for Massachusetts’ seniors’ community and will certainly help thousands more get the help they need. We want to thank our legislators who have helped so much, and especially, Representative Steve Ultrino who has been at our side all along.” The FY24 House Ways and Means Budget was released on Wednesday, April 12, and will be debated and amendments will be heard in the coming weeks. If the section is voted to be passed, Massachusetts will join Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Vermont to become the 11th state to eliminate asset limits for MSPs. there’s always some perceived risk when considering new approaches,” said Conservation Commission Chair Isaac Slavitt. “We’re fortunate to have leaders in the city who are open to trying new things when they believe residents will benefit.” “We congratulate the winners on their unwavering dedication to executing compelling projects from start to finish – leveraging cutting edge technology to offer sustainable, new services and economic opportunities and enhancing the lives of citizens,” said IDC Government Insights Vice President Ruthbea Yesner.

After a brief business meeting, the Society will present a talk by Linda Glover: “Seven Ages of a Remarkable Renaissance Woman: Malden Native Helen ‘Nordie’ Nordquist.” Attendees will have an opportunity to learn something new Gerry about this Maldonian’s varied life – in baseball and beyond. If you’ve seen the Penny Marshall film “A League of Their Own” (1992), you know something of the Rockford Peaches, one of the original four teams in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPL) that played for 12 seasons starting in 1943. These women’s teams helped keep baseball going on the home front while many of the men served overseas.

On graduating from Malden High School, she decided to try out for the AAGPL, and was signed to play for the Kenosha (Wisconsin) Comets. After a year with that team, she joined the aforementioned Rockford Peaches for their 1952 and 1953 seasons; the following year she played for the South Bend (Indiana) Blue Sox. A right-handed pitcher and outfielder, Nordquist did not let the disbanding of these teams in the mid-1950s deter her from pursuing the sport she loved.

With a pair of unanimous votes, Councillors voted to refer two papers to the City Council’s Finance Committee for review which, combined, would direct $6 million of municipal funding toward continuing street and sidewalk repair, reconstruction and replacement around the community. A total of $3 million, or half of that total, would be funded through a new bond issue, if approved by the City Council. An additional $3 million would be funded through the appropriation of monies from the city’s free cash account. It is expected this amount in total would be supported by the Finance Committee and ultimately approved by a formal vote of the City Council in the near future. That would ensure that this major project would continue and be completed during the coming summer and fall months. In other votes, the City Council received a favorable report from the Finance Committee on the proposed expenditure of an additional $2 million on an extensive lead water line replacement project that has been underway in the city for two-plus years. The Councillors unanimously voted to approve that expenditure, with the $2 million in funding being appropriated from the Helen “Nordie” Nordquist playing for the Kenosha Comets aged to bring something for the refreshment table.

Those lead line replacements are expected to be completed during the coming summer and fall months. In other votes, the City Council unanimously approved sending two papers to the Finance Committee for review that would appropriate close to $500,000 in funds from the Community Preservation Account to support two projects: The city’s Affordable Housing Trust and the Trafton Park Rehabilitation Project. With two separate votes, the City Council sent a paper authorizing $300,000 for affordable housing pursuits to the Finance Committee, as well as a paper covering $160,000 on additional improvements to the Trafton Park project. The Malden Community Preservation Committee approved both applications for funding for the two projects.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 28, 2023 Malden, Melrose, Medford issue guidelines for sustainable and resilient building design M alden, Melrose, and Medford worked with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) to collaboratively develop sustainable and resilient building design guidelines for residential and mixed-use developments and retrofi ts. The voluntary guidelines are intended to help these communities encourage developers to build more aff ordable housing that is energy-effi cient and climate-resilient. The guidelines highlight best practices to promote multifamily and mixed-use buildings that are aff ordable to build and to live in while allowing each community to consider their unique housing needs. They also include design elements that can help residents reduce energy use or save on energy costs; in turn, these energy saving measures can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and might provide other benefits as well. Developers should use the guidelines in tandem with local ordinances and state building codes and in coordination with local building and sustainability departments. Community members gave their input to develop the guidelines through a series of interviews, focus groups and workshops. Residents told the MAPC project team that they value living spaces with outdoor access that are close to community resources like transit, groceries and health centers. They voiced their interest in seeing more green space in their communities, including gardens, green roofs, and decks. Aff ordability across the three municipalities is a key concern, as the price of housing and utilities has increased rapidly in recent years. Residents expressed that they want to make sure aff ordable housing is climate resilient, built with sustainable materials and addresses concerns related to fl ooding, water drainage, extreme heat and other hazards. An interactive webinar on the guidelines was scheduled for April 26, 2023. Resources and guidance for cities and towns to tackle their climate goals can be found at mapc.org/net-zero/playbook/. This project was supported by a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Action Grant from the Executive Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs.

By Steve Freker I t was certainly not great weather for a baseball game on Patriots’ Day, with on-and-off rain and drizzle accompanied by occasional downpours with mist and fog. But the runners loved it! There have been Boston Marathons in the past where the Patriots’ Day date may as well have been the Fourth of July with scorching, high 70s temperatures and blazing sun. Or perhaps it was 40 or below, with rain washing out everything along the 26.2-mile course. 127TH BOSTON MARATHON INCLUDED LOCAL RUNNERS: About 35 runners from the local Advocate readership area finished the race – from Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus.

No Money Down. ots. It was never ‘Off’... but the Malden-Revere HS baseball game on Patriots’ Day took a lot of work (and communication) to get the players on the field playing. For roughly five hours, off-and-on, Malden and Revere athletic directors and coaches kept tabs on the weather, field conditions and numerous other factors (bus times, umpires’ availability) and even the game time, which ended up staying the same: 4:00 p.m. The game ended up being somewhat of a pitcher’s duel with Revere’s Kyle Cummings, a senior, battling against Malden’s Jake Simpson, a junior. Cummings ended up pitching the best game of his three-year varsity career, scattering three hits, walking just two and striking out a career single-game high of 13 batters. Simpson threw zeroes through the first three complete innings, but a couple of untimely errors cost Malden some unearned runs. Revere won the game, 5-0, but it was still highly valuable to both teams – win, lose or draw (but you can’t “tie” in baseball – as they both avoided the spectre of “The Makeup Game.” Somewhere down the road when teams are rescheduling the game 91% of them in Mass. did not play on Monday, at least two of them will be recalling why their schedule is not as jampacked as their future opponents’ may be down the road. **** Revere pitcher threw a gem... just a stone’s throw away from where his late Dad grew up in Malden There was an additional Malden connection in the Revere-Malden baseball game on Patriots’ Day Monday. The game was played at Rotondi Field in Malden instead of the usual Malden home field of Pine Banks Park. The park is just a couple of streets away from where the late father of the ReOBITUARIES Jane E. (Adams) Bailey A longtime resident of Malden, passed away on Thursday, April 20th, with her loving family by her side. Jane was born in Washington, DC, in 1927, the daughter of George and Cora Adams. She was raised and educated in DC. In 1948, she married her sweetheart, William Bailey Sr. and the two settled down to raise their family. They moved to Everett before finally settling in Malden. Jane moved back to Washington D.C. for a short time, before returning to Malden 30 years ago. For many years she worked as a seamstress. She enjoyed sewing and it was a regular hobby at home as well. Jane also enjoyed working on puzzles, dancing, watching baseball, and going to the casino. She especially loved to watch her son sing in his church choir and was blessed to see him perform just this past Sunday. She is survived by her children, Althea Harvey of Malden, William Bailey Jr. (Charlesetta) of Clinton, MD, and Janice Avant (Herb) of Malden, her grandchildren Joy E. Bailey, Donnell Bailey Sr, of Malden, William Bailey III, and Keenan Bailey of VA, as well as 12 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren. Jane was preceded in death by her husband, William Bailey Sr, her siblings, Alice, Clara, and Melvin, and two grandchildren, Deon Bailey and Michael Lewis. Funeral services will be held at the Weir-MacCuish Golden Rule Funeral Home, 144 Salem St, Malden on Monday, May 1st at 10 AM, with visitation beginning at 9 AM. Interment to follow in Forest Dale Cemetery, Malden. Paul C. Hunt Sr. A lifelong resident of Malden, passed away on Monday, April 24, 2023, after a short stay in the Elmhurst Healthcare Facility in Melrose. Paul was born in East Boston in 1936, the son of John and Edith Hunt. He was raised and educated in Malden, graduating from Malden High School with the Class of 1954. He then enlisted in the US Air Force. He served honorably for four years, including a 1-year stay at Iraklion Air Station on the Greek island of Crete, and was discharged in 1959. After the Air Force, Paul began working at Malden Jewelry while attending Bentley College at night. After earning his associate degree, Paul took employment with Monarch Consolidated Foods in Everett. In 1986, when he retired from the company, after 23 years, Paul was Monarch Food's Branch Manager. After his retirement, Paul opened Travel Agents International in Malden, and operated the company for 11 years until he sold in 1997. In May of 1960, Paul married his sweetheart, Jean C. Carey in Everett. The two spent a short time in Medford before settling OBITUARIES | SEE PAGE 20 vere High winning pitcher grew up in Malden. Kevin Cummings, a 1977 Malden High School graduate, who was a standout athlete himself in the late 70s in basketball and Babe Ruth baseball, passed away too soon at only 61 in October 2020. Against Malden, Kevin’s son, senior Kyle Cummings, tossed a complete game gem in a 5-0 shutout win over his dad’s alma mater. With 13 strikeouts and only two walks, it was undoubtedly Kyle’s signature game of his varsity career. We are certain Dad was watching over and was very proud on Patriots’ Day. **** Who’s next as Everett High football head coach? Many were shocked to hear the news of now former Everett High football Head Coach Rob DiLoreto resigning abruptly from his post, after only three seasons, three Greater Boston League titles and a 21-3 record. Without being specific, Coach DiLoreto referred to recent circumstances around the Everett High School situation as the reason for his unexpected departure. But the next question when someone leaves a “name” coaching job is inevitably, “who’s next?” According to all reports we have heard, all signs are pointing to Everett High School staff member Carlos Ruiz as “next man up” for the Crimson Tide post. Ruiz, a longtime Everett High assistant coach, who also coached alongside Coach Deion “Prime Time” Sanders for championship teams at Liberty Christian School in Texas in 2016 and 2017, apparently is positioned to take over one of more high-profile – and now vacant – high school coaching jobs in the state. Stay tuned for more information on this developing story. **** How impressive do Clayton Kershaw’s 200 wins look now? Almost as good as his best winning percentage of the Modern Era! We all know that he is the most dominating pitcher out there right now and that he has been that way for quite some time. That is why no one was surprised to see him achieve his 200th career win recently for the L.A. Dodgers, as he became the third pitcher to reach 200 wins with the Dodgers, joining Don Sutton (233) and Don Drysdale (209). Did you know that his .694 career winning percentage (20088) is the best among pitchers in the Modern Era with at least 200 career wins, just ahead of former Yankee great and Hall of Famer Whitey Ford (236-106, .690)? Wow. Like we said, we knew he was good, but not that good, with those numbers! **** SPORTS WIRE SHOUT-OUTS: By the way, House of Pain’s former lead singer Everlast resurrected even more interest in the aforementioned great Yankees lefty in 1998 with the gem album “Whitey Ford Sings the Blues,” which went triple-platinum with three million sold. The iconic and awesome top single off that record, “What It’s Like,” reached #13 on the charts of the Top 100... What we want to know is, did Everlast ever go meet the real Whitey Ford and, of course, did the big NYY lefty ever get any loot for the liberal use of his real name, no less, all over the rap world? The real Whitey Ford was only 70 when the Everlast record dropped, and he lived until 2020 (age 82), so he must have got paid something, no? We’ll find out... There were two umpires working at the Malden-Revere game on Monday, but just one on the job in the Tornados’ previous game against Lynn Classical at Pine Banks Park. With a shortage of game officials in nearly every sport, including baseball, expect more of the same, say those in the know. JV and FreshMARATHON | SEE PAGE 18

Furthermore, in the event M assHealth has just released this operations memo in order to be consistent with federal guidelines when calculating the value of life estates and corresponding remainder interests. This memo supersedes operations memos 19-12 and 20-16 effective immediately. This is an important operations memo as caseworkers will now have to utilize the IRS Section 7520 Interest Rate Tables in order to value these interests instead of the Social Security Administration POMS (Program Operations Manual System) tables. As a result, the value attributed to a life estate interest will be much lower utilizing the 7520 Interest Rate Tables as compared to the Social Security Administration (SSA) tables. If, for example, a married couple had deeded a vacation home to a child and reserved a life estate, and the vacation home was not being rented out in order to argue that it is necessary for self-support thereby rendering the life estate interest a non-countable asset, the SSA table calculation would result in a significantly higher valuation placed upon the life estate interest. That higher life estate interest could then result in the married couple being over the asset limit for MassHealth eligithe real estate was to be sold, a much higher value would be placed upon the life estate interest under the SSA table which would result in a significant amount of cash going back in the name of the life tenant requiring a spend down on nursing home level care of that larger pool of cash. The calculation based upon the SSA table would result in less asset protection as a much smaller amount would be attributed to the remaindermen (i.e. the children). It should be noted that if rental real estate operates in a cash flow profit position, the life estate interest with respect to that real estate will not be considered a countable asset. Upon the death of the life tenant, the real estate will escape estate recovery as MassHealth can only recover benefits paid from the probate estate of the recipient of the benefits. MassHealth will now use the IRS tables in order to calculate the amount of the gifted remainder interest for purposes of calculating the ineligibility period for MassHealth benefits. Once the five year look-back period has expired, it does not matter how much the remainder interest was valued at. The Massachusetts Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys has worked hard to persuade MassHealth to issue this recent eligibility operations memo which in fact is consistent with how it valued life estates and remainder interests for many previous years.

ADDRESS 42-44 RUSSELL ST 69 PIERCE ST CITY MALDEN MALDEN DATE 04.07.23 04.06.23 PRICE 720000 835000 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 28, 2023 MARATHON | FROM PAGE 16 man games already are having just one umpire due to the shortage these days... A couple of remarkable baseball nuggets: #1) Who is the only pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) history to throw a no-hitter on Opening Day? Answer Below... #2) Does anyone know these two things: A) What is Ichiro Suzuki’s real, legal name... on his Japanese driver’s license, for example, and why is he not enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame right now? Answer below, as well... Malden High senior tennis captain Naveen Nevalapuri is seeking his second Most Valuable Player nod in the Greater Boston League this year and is well on his way, having not lost a set in early play. Naveen is extremely active in extracurricular activities both with his senior class and as an Ambassador with the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA). ANSWERS: In all of major-league history, only one no-hitter has been pitched on Opening Day. Perhaps not surprisingly, it was thrown by the 21-year-old Cleveland Indians prodigy Bob Feller on April 16, 1940, against the Chicago White Sox on a blustery 40-degree day in Comiskey Park. The masterpiece was the first of three no-hitters Hall of Fame Feller threw in his illustrious career, along with a remarkable 12 one-hitters. He had gone 24-9 on the mound the previous 1939 season for the Tribe... ANSWER #2: The name on Ichiro’s driver’s license in Japan is Suzuki Ichiro. In Japan, like in China and Korea, the first name follows the family name. A person with the first name “Ichiro” and the family name “Suzuki” is, therefore, called “Suzuki Ichiro” rather than “Ichiro Suzuki.” In 2001, with much fanfare, he became the first player in MLB history (and only one to date) to have his first name, “Ichiro,” emblazoned on his Seattle Mariners jersey.

City Engineer Malden Engineering Department April 28, 2023 aavvyvy S avy avvy S oiorenniioor nior by Jim Miller Tips and Tours for Traveling with Grandchildren Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are interested in taking our two grandkids on a big trip this summer and are looking for some good ideas. Can you recommend some travel companies that off er special travel packages for grandparents and grandkids? Doting Grandmother Dear Doting, Grandparents traveling with just their grandchildren has become a growing segment of the multigenerational travel industry. Not only is this type of travel fun, it’s also a terrifi c way to strengthen generational bonds and create some lasting memories. To help you with your traveling aspirations, there are a number of travel companies today that off er specialized grandparent/grandchildren and multigenerational trip packages. This is a nice way to go because they plan everything for you with most activities together, but some just for adults so you can get an occasional breather. Available in various trip lengths and price ranges, these tours are designed for children, typically between the ages of six or seven up to 18, and are usually scheduled in the summer, or sometimes during winter breaks when the kids are out of school. Here are some top tour companies to check into that will take you and your grandkids on a fun, well-planned vacation. Road Scholar (RoadScholar.org): This well-established not-forprofi t organization has off ered educational travel to older adults since 1975. They currently off er 83 diff erent programs geared to grandparent and grandchildren. About 75 percent of the grandparent trips are domestic; 25 percent are international. Some of the many popular trip destinations include the U.S. National Parks, Washington D.C., Canada, France, Italy, Iceland, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands. The average cost per person per night is around $265 for domestic trips, $365 for international. Intrepid (IntrepidTravel.com): An adventure travel tour operator that off ers “grandparent holiday” tours that bring together the young and the young at heart. They off er 35 one and twoweek tours in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, as well as in Alaska and Wyoming. To fi nd these trips, go to Intrepidtravel. com/us/theme/family/grandparents. Tauck (Tauck.com): This is a large tour operator that off ers 19 foreign and domestic multigenerational trips called Tauck Bridges Family Tours. Some of their most popular trips are Costa Rica, the European riverboat cruises, and the Cowboy Country, which tours you through Wyoming and South Dakota. Smithsonian Journeys (SmithsonianJourneys.org): They off er 10 diff erent family journey trips to Iceland, New Zealand, Italy, Greece, Japan, Ireland, Costa Rica, South Africa, Yellowstone and a Rhine River cruise. Journeys International (JourneysInternational.com): They offer customized multigenerational trips primarily to Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacifi c. Grandkids Travel Documents Depending on where you go and your mode of transportation, you’ll need to gather some documents for your grandchildren to make sure everything goes smoothly. In general, most travel experts recommend you bring a notarized travel consent form (letter of permission from the parents), and a medical consent form in case any emergencies or problems arise. Also bring copies of insurance cards. If you’re traveling domestically, you should know that airlines and trains don’t require any form of ID for children under 18. But if you’re traveling to Mexico, Canada, Bermuda, or other areas of the Caribbean by land or sea, grandchildren 15 and under will need certifi ed copies of their birth certifi cates. And if your grandkids are 16 or older, or you’re traveling to these locations via air, passports will be required. If you’re traveling overseas, all children, even infants, must have a passport. Some countries also require a visa for entry, and vaccinations may be required in some cases. Before booking a trip, check the U.S. Department of State’s website at Travel.State.gov for country-specifi c information. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
