The city of Malden has a large, diverse and growing population which includes a considerable percentage of young people who yearn to learn, play and compete in a variety of athletic endeavors. Whether it is on an instructional basis, or in competition against other youth, they want to be on the fi eld. Their parents and caregivers want them to be on the fi eld as well. But at present, there is simply not enough accessible fi eld space in the Malden community to accommodate their needs and desires adequately. Whether they are at the youth sports level to the high school teams, their opportunities to participate in physical activity are diminished and reduced for this very reason. Consider this. Since the concept of rehabilitating Roosevelt Park on Salem Street by completely renovating the entire parcel and installing a state-of-the-art synthetic turf playing surface was fi rst suggested – way back in 2010 – an entire generation of young people, from preschool to high school graduation, 13 years total, has been denied those opportunities. Due to delays and challenges to the Roosevelt Park Rehabilitation Project, which was reintroduced in 2018, this year's high school graduating class of 2023 has gone their entire four years of secondary education and more without access to the park with its full use. These delays have come to a project which has been delayed due to a myriad of regulatory challenges and allegations which PARK | SEE PAGE 4 City to Honor Nations Fallen Heroes on Memorial Day Advocate Staff Report P lease join the Malden community as we remember and honor the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifi ce for our Nation’s freedom on Memorial Day, Monday, May 29, at 10 a.m. at Forest Dale Cemetery.

By Steve Freker M alden’s Witche Exilhomme has been named a recipient of the 2023 Black Excellence on the Hill Award. The award recognizes black community leaders who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to improve their communities and the Commonwealth. Exilhomme, a longtime Malden resident who is a 2012 Malden High School graduate, also is in his third year as Football Head Coach at his alma mater, as well as serving as an educator in the History Department at MHS. The former three-sport MHS standout was nominated for the award by Malden State Representative Steve Ultrino (D-33rd Middlesex). The Black and Latino Legislative Caucus has bestowed the award on worthy nominees who, like Exilhomme, have made signifi cant impact on their communities. Exilhomme recently joined other awardees from across the state at a ceremony held at the State House attended by Rep. Ultrino and other members of the Malden state legislative delegation. Exilhomme also was recognized in his hometown in an appreciation gathering on Friday at Malden High School, his “base of operations.” At that gathering, Malden High School Principal Chris Mastrangelo read the official citation from the state House of Representatives – signed by House Speaker Ronald Mariano – recognizing Exilhomme.

The City of Malden will begin publishing transliterations of each candidate’s name in Chinese characters. Candidates may, but are not required to, submit a proposed transliterated Chinese name for themselves. If a candidate does not submit a proposed transliterated name, one will be prepared for them by a qualifi ed translator designated by the Board of Registrars of Voters. Once the name is created, each candidate will be provided with a written copy of the proposed transliteration of their name and given a seven-day review period during which they may accept the transliteration or provide written notice to the Board of Registrars of Voters of any modifi cation they wish to be considered. Candidates may also choose to opt out of having their name transliterated on the ballot. The Board of Registrars of Voters’ determination whether to accept a candidate’s proposed Chinese name, and whether a candidate’s name will appear as a translation or a transliteration, shall be fi nal. The Board will determine whether to accept a candidate’s proposed Chinese name based on the following criteria: 1. Information submitted by the candidate regarding whether or not the candidate has an established Chinese name 2. Information regarding how the Chinese community refers to the candidate at community meetings or events and in the Chinese press 3. Information regarding how the candidate is referred to in campaign materials printed in Chinese 4. Whether or not a proposed transliteration has another meaning in the Chinese language 5. Any other information the Board deems relevant in order to prevent voter confusion and to allow for eff ective participation by the Chinese community in the electoral process Nomination forms for the 2023 Municipal Election season became available from the City Clerk’s Offi ce on May 9.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 12, 2023 ~ Malden Musings ~ Page 3 “Saint Rocco Banquet 2023” By Peter Levine S aluti from the Saint Rocco Fraternal Association of Malden! Association President Joyce Mover along with a very committed group of San Rock pilgrims – most with close ties to Edgeworth – recently held their annual fundraiser banquet at Anthony’s on Canal Street. The event isn’t what it used to be with many longtime Edgeworthians no longer with us except in memory only, but the upstairs room was full, nonetheless. Every which way you turned you ran into a Scibelli or Cagno or Angelo or Spadafora...well, you get the picture. Insert smiley face. A really fun time was had by all (especially when Craig broke out the good stuff )! Highlights from the banquet: • Steve Savio and Sea Breeze entertained. Steve has a wonderful voice; the band is really tight and if your bag is timeless classics from the great American Songbook/popular Italian songs then you will just love this group. • Mayor Gary Christenson is joined at the hip with Saint Rocco himself. No bigger supporter over the years than hizzoner – very much appreciated, Mr. Mayor! Looking forward to walking the streets of Edgeworth with you during the Sunday San Rock Procession. Always a highlight for me, and I know for you also. • State Rep Steve Ultrino was front and center; of course he was! Steve and his family have helped this Feast to survive over the years. • Making a return to the banquet this year were Mike and Barbara Scibelli along with their two beautiful daughters, Toni and Jeri (from H.R. at City Hall). • Italian American Citizens’ Club President, Global Citizen and Edgeworth Forever’s Billy Settemio was honored, I think, for being Billy Settemio! A sort of lifetime achievement award. Nobody deserves it more! • Surprise guest of the evening: Lori Hall of the Whitman Street Halls – accompanied by her mom! Great seeing you, Lori! • Richie Cremone, Freddy & Louise Spadafora, Florence & Joe Smarrella, Margie & Barry Condon, Frances & Peter Tomasello, Joanne Assetta Iovino – “As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us; as we remember them.” • Marie Imbimbo was also honored by the powers that be for her dedication to the Feast over these many years. Forever a constant during the long weekend, if she isn’t dutifully much sought after citation. • In case you haven’t heard, this year’s Feast (do not call it a Festival) takes place the weekend of MUSINGS| SEE PAGE 20 STORE HOURS: 6:00 AM - 10:30 PM Come to Robinson News Convenience 1556 Eastern Ave, Malden • (781) 324-0492 Come Play lottery here!

John has more Malden/Edgeworth knowledge in his little pinky fi nger than I have in my whole being. Just ask him. I kid. John goes way back, and it’s always fun to listen to him pontifi cate all things Malden. • Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe was in the house. She loves this event and has been a huge supporter over the years – volunteering and getting her hands dirty in the trenches all weekend long. • You could not keep Very Special Assistant to Mayor Christenson, Maria Luise, away from this event for a million bucks! She just loves being with her paisans and supporting something so near and dear to her Italian heritage. Great seeing you, Maria! Keep up the great work at city hall! • Diego Barricelli was also honored with one of those precious citations from Mayor Christenson for his dedication always above and beyond the call of duty.

Page 4 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 12, 2023 PARK | FROM PAGE 1 have all been denied and resolved, at no small cost to legal billing and calendar time. The hoops through which city officials have been forced to navigate have been innumerable at times, but they have jumped through all of them. Late last month, through the continued diligence of the staff of Mayor Gary Christenson and the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (OSPCD), a new approach was unveiled which would fund the remaining cost gap to complete the Roosevelt Park Rehabilitation Project while at the same time addressing the often-cited greatest desire of the project's opponents: removing a full three feet of lead-contaminated soil at the park before installing the components of the planned new park. Still again, the opponents have come back with other perceptions and reasons they believe the original, City Council-approved project is anathema to their stance. At a City Council Finance $2.99 GALLON We accept: MasterCard * Visa * & Discover Price Subject to Change without notice 100 Gal. Min. 24 Hr. Service 781-286-2602 Committee meeting held Tuesday night, several officials from the OSPCD, the Malden Public Schools and the Malden Recreation Department gave a detailed presentation and – as requested – numbers breakdown of field space hours that are allocated now, versus what is actually needed for Malden’s children. Some of the most pressing and desired needs for field space hours and the type of usage for Malden’s children could be met and provided with the installation of the planned new Roosevelt Park synthetic turf surface. Topping the list would be more time and space for Malden High School and Middle School teams and sports like boys and girls soccer, girls and boys field hockey, boys and girls lacrosse and girls softball. These athletic and other activities that could be accommodated with a new Roosevelt Park would enable many more children and potential student-athletes to participate and enhance their physical and mental health. The need for more field space and hours of usage are not just for the present, but also for the future. At Tuesday’s meeting it Lawrence A.

Parents across the city have often expressed their desire for more programming dedicated to their children’s afterschool time. School officials noted that at present the Malden Public Schools directly fails to attract a number of students and has them look elsewhere due to a lack of accommodating sports programs, due to a dearth of field space and usage hours. A lot of those children presently attending the Salemwood K-8 school would be able to maximize their hours of outdoor activity with a newly renovated, safe and welcoming Roosevelt Park. More students from the Salemwood School at this time participate in Middle School Sports Programs than in any other school in the community. School officials say this would increase with the completion of the Roosevelt Park Project. For the past five years, due to delays and challenges, these children have been shut out from participating. Largely, since this project was first proposed and then shelved 13 years ago, they have missed out – from their preschool years to their imminent Class of 2023 graduation. In the four years since this project has been officially approved by the City Council, every youth sports organization in the Malden community – Malden Youth Soccer, Pop Warner Football, Malden Youth Lacrosse, Malden Girls Softball, Malden Youth Baseball, Malden Babe Ruth Baseball and others – have all strongly endorsed the Roosevelt Park Rehabilitation Project and the state-ofthe-art synthetic surface that is planned. They have all had representation at nearly every public meeting and public opportunity to express views on the Roosevelt Park Project. That encompasses thousands of Malden residents ranging in age from three to 21 – and all of the coaches, parents and other family members. Within the past year, many letters were written, signed and submitted to city officials from a wide range of Malden residents – all in favor of the Roosevelt Park Project. One group, Malden CARES4Kids, collected over 2,000 letters in the past 12 months in support of the improvements planned for RoosHONOR | FROM PAGE 1 ations in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Marine Lance Cpl. Edward M. Garvin, 19, was killed in Action on October 4, 2006, while conducting combat operations in Rawah, Iraq.

Everyone from two well-respected Malden Mayors – present and past – to dozens of present and former City Councillors, two highly regarded Malden Redevelopment Authority Executive Directors, present and past, and their staffs, as well as dozens of other professional city staffers have all backed and endorsed this project from its earliest inception in 2010. They still do. They were not and are not wrong. The Director of Wellness, Athletics and Physical Education for the Malden Public Schools, who is directly responsible for ensuring the health, safety and well-being of all 6,500-plus public-school students in this city, says the Malden community needs the Roosevelt Park project completed. He has supported and endorsed this project since its inception. Despite claims made to the contrary by opponents of the Roosevelt Park Rehabilitation Project, the overwhelming support of the greater part of the Malden community, which wants kids on the field and wants the students of the Salemwood School to have a safe, welcoming place to play and compete right outside their school’s doors, is readily apparent. The time is now to truly stand up for Malden’s kids and complete this project. They deserve nothing less. Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, N.C.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 12, 2023 Page 5 Ward 7 Councillor Simonelli working on initiative to help community access resources Malden Collaborative is in early stages; would connect residents to existing agencies, groups, training By Steve Freker A s they say, it is a tall task to try and be all things to all people. Chris Simonelli says the city where he grew up is driving him to give it a try. “We need to all work together to not only grow our community,” the Ward 7 Councillor said. “We have to really address how we can instill a sense of community with our people that live here.” Councillor Simonelli may have just returned to the City Council after a decade-plus absence, but he’s been a Malden resident all along. Simonelli: ‘Malden’s made me and I will never forget that’ “Malden’s made me and I will never forget that,” he added, “and I am going to work my hardest to try and show our residents, whether they have been here for years or maybe just came here from another country, what this city is all about.” To that end, Councillor Simonelli said, he is nearing fruition on a multifaceted initiative that will begin in his Ward 7, but he believes it has citywide potential. In fact, he is banking on that concept. Already, he has had initial meetings with both Malden Mayor Gary Christenson and representatives from an interested corporate partnering sponsor, WinnDevelopment of Boston. A more intensive meeting with mayoral staff , where more details will be discussed with additional confi rmed and potential stakeholders, is planned within the next week, Simonelli said. WinnDevelopment is a corporate affi liate of WinnCompanies, which owns and operates Bowdoin Apartments, one of Malden’s affordable housing developments, which is situated on 10 acres bounded by Lisbon and Bowdoin Streets in Ward 7. Did not have to look far for potential sponsor Councillor Simonelli did not have to look too far before approaching a potential corporate sponsor for his new initiative, which is tentatively called Malden Collaborative. He lives in the Bowdoin Street Apartments himself and has formerly lived in the 250-unit Newland Street affordable housing development. Together with the 263-unit Bowdoin Street Apartments, over 500 Malden families live ty and its residents. Simonelli said WinnDevelopment, the Bowdoin Street Apartments’ owner, has already pledged some seed money to get the ball rolling on Malden Collaborative. Simonelli said the City of Malden is assisting him in seeking other funding sources as well, including the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) federal grant allocation. MassHousing TAP Chris Simonelli Ward 7 Councillor in those two housing developments alone in Simonelli’s represented ward. “That is a lot of families, and the way I look at it, a lot of families that could use access to programs off ering assistance and resources,” Councillor Simonelli said. The Ward 7 Councillor served in the late 1990s and 2000s before returning to the City Council by winning the seat vacated by former Councillor Neal Anderson in the 2021 municipal election. One of the fi rst proposals on his drawing board when he returned to the Council was to explore the implementation of a Ward 7-based Community Center, off ering programming, training for jobs and other goals and access to a number of resources for residents. Simonelli explained he and his supporters initially eyed the potential of the Temple Ezrath Israel building – 245 Bryant St., in the heart of Ward 7 – as a possible site. Aff ordable housing conversion is planned A new focus on that building as conversion to aff ordable housing using city resources for acquisition and renovation changed those plans. Most recently, Councillor Simonelli said he is now pursuing the Malden Collaborative concept. In doing so, at the advice of municipal administrators, he said, he has begun discussions with a linkup to the state-funded MassHousing Tenant Assistance Program (TAP). The Malden Collaborative would initially be a local member site for MassHousing TAP. Available to all housing developments, TAP offers member sites unlimited access to trainings, a choice of diverse programs and workshops for residents and assistance in developing and maintaining new programs that may uniquely fi t a specifi c communiProgram is coming “There is really no limit on the INITIATIVE | SEE PAGE 10 WE CAN HELP PAY YOUR HEATING BILLS!

Katherine Clark’s office. Candidates who are Democrats may gather signatures. Who can participate? To vote at a given ward’s caucus, you must be a registered or preregistered Democrat and live in that ward. To become a delegate or alternate from your ward, you must be elected during the caucus by other attendees from your ward. (You must attend, either in person or virtually, in order to be elected.) The Committee will have a list of registered Democrats; if you recently registered or changed your registration, you should be prepared to show proof of registration. Young people who have preregistered as Democrats and reached the age of 16 by May 23, 2023, may vote in the caucus, run as delegates and be elected as delegates to the convention. The Massachusetts Democratic Party is committed to representing the party’s diversity at its annual Convention. In electing delegates, the Party works to maximize gender balance and inclusion. Candidates who identify as gender nonbinary can run for delegate or alternate without needing to classify themselves as male or female. Members of potentially underrepresented groups who were not elected as delegates at their caucus – including youth (35 or under), members of racial and ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities – may, after the caucus, apply to the Massachusetts Democratic Party as “add-on delegates” to the convention. The Party evaluates the diversity of elected delegates in relation to party registration and draws from the pool of add-on applicants to maximize fair representation. Massachusetts Democratic Party Convention The 2023 Massachusetts Democratic Party Convention will take place in person at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Mass., on September 23. In addition to the formal business of the convention, attendees will have opportunities to socialize, network and hear speeches by elected offi cials and candidates. Attending the Convention is a great way to learn more about the Democratic Party in Massachusetts and to meet elected offi - cials, candidates, activists, organizers and other active Democrats from around the Commonwealth and beyond. While there is a cost to attend, which helps to defray the Party’s convention costs, it should not become a barrier. Delegates may request funding confi dentially from the Massachusetts Democratic Party or the Malden Democratic City Committee (MDCC). Whether or not Malden Democrats participate in the Caucus, they are invited to attend the MDCC monthly meetings and periodic Ward Democratic Committee meetings. Meetings are open to the public, with Democrats and prospective Democrats especially welcome. Anyone interested in learning about upcoming events for Malden Democrats and ways to get involved should visit www.maldendemocrats.org, where they can join the email list. They can also follow the group on Twitter (@MaldenDems) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ groups/MaldenDems/). Finally, everyone is invited to save the date for the traditional MDCC Barbecue: August 23 at Anthony’s of Malden. Democrats with questions about the Caucus or any aspect of MDCC should contact the officers at maldendemocrats@ gmail.com. Find details on Caucus rules, the Convention and more at www.massdems.org.

He taught and coached at Milford Academy in New York and then joined the Malden High School football coaching staff as an assistant in 2020. In 2021 he was appointed football head coach at Malden High and is now in his third year. Coach Exilhomme is also in his second year as an educator in the History Department at Malden High School. In addition to his teaching and coaching duties, Exilhomme is well-known around Malden for having immersed himself into the community as a mentor to many young people across the city – boys and girls in all grades. Even before he officially joined both the Golden Tornadoes football staff and then the Malden High School faculty as a History educator, he has been “all Malden, all the time,” according to Principal Mastrangelo. “Coach Exilhomme is a valued member of our MHS staff and INITIATIVE | FROM PAGE 5 type of assistance we could offer to our Ward 7 residents beyond,” Simonelli said.

Since being named Football Head Coach here for the 2021 season, Exilhomme has only stepped up his efforts to nurture and enhance the lives of young people throughout the city, according to Malden Public Schools Physical Education Director Charlie Conefrey. In addition to coaching the football team, Coach Witche is heavily involved with numerous other programs in and out of sports tance in guiding the local program – in this case the planned Malden Collaborative – in “tapping” into existing programs in the community. “We are looking at hooking up with as many Malden programs already out there as we believe can be helpful to for Malden youth. “Coach Exilhomme is well-known as a mentor, advocate and he is an ‘always on call’ counselor for all of Malden’s youth who can take advantage of his knowledge and perspectives on life,” Conefrey said. Exilhomme said he is honored to receive the Black Excellence Award and pledged to continue to work with Malden’s young residents who need the most assistance. “Our young people deserve whatever we can offer them in guidance and advice,” Exilhomme said. “If we can get them to accept and follow some basic values as hard work, trust and compassion for others, it will only help them in the future. “I always tell my players and others, ‘work hard to make life easy,’” Exilhomme said.

We would also like to introduce our residents to sports they might not be familiar with in their original countries. Baseball, basketball and other sports. We plan on having instructional camps and special days. It’s all in there.” “If our residents do not know about the resources, programming and assistance they are able to access, they are going to know about it very soon with this project,” Simonelli said. “We are very excited about this and it will be available to anyone who wants help, information or just being part of something, or having something to do.” Councillor Simonelli said he plans on rolling out more definitive information on Malden Collaborative by early June, with some programming available as early as this summer.

THE REPUBLICANS: One hundred percent of the 24 GOP members voted with Jones 100 percent of the time. REPRESENTATIVES’ SUPPORT OF THEIR PARTY’S LEADERSHIP FROM JANUARY TO MAY 2023 The percentage next to the representatives’ name represents the percentage of times the representative supported his or her party’s leadership so far in 2023. The number in parentheses represents the number of times the representative opposed his or her party’s leadership. Some representatives voted on all 25 roll call votes. Others missed one or more roll calls. The percentage for each representatives is calculated based on the number of roll calls on which he or she voted. Rep. Paul Donato 100 percent (0) Rep. Steven Ultrino 100 percent (0) ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL GROWING HEMP (S 40) - The Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture Committee heard testimony on a bill that would allow Massachusetts farmers to grow and sell hemp that is used to make products for commercial sale. Under current law, only industrial hemp (hemp used solely for industrial purposes) can be grown in the Bay State. If the bill passes, many allowable products would be made from hemp including cosmetics, personal care and grooming products; animal and human products intended for consumption such as dietary supplements, foods and beverages; and products intended for other uses such as cloth, fiber, fuel, paint, paper, particleboard and plastics. The measure allows land with hemp crops to be considered farmland for tax purposes and sets up a licensing system for hemp growers. Sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton) said she filed the bill to bring the state definition of hemp in line with the federal definition, to allow for the sale of edible CBD prodyour name, contact telephone number and the dates and times that you are available. Flag placement will take place from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. ucts from locally grown hemp in marijuana stores and to authorize the Department of Public Health to regulate CBD in food. “Hemp is a valuable agricultural crop, with many uses, but the commonwealth currently does not allow farmers to sell this product in ways that maximize its full potential,” saidComerford. “You can buy CBD products in the state of Massachusetts but they won't be made with Massachusetts-grown hemp. That does not make sense. The hemp industry and hemp farmers deserve sensible policies.” RAW OR UNPASTEURIZED MILK SALES (S 43) – The Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture’s hearing also included legislation that would allow licensed raw milk farmers to deliver raw milk directly to the consumer. Current law allows only the on-farm sale of raw milk. The measure also allows raw milk farmers to sell raw milk from their farm stands even if the stand is not contiguous to their raw milk dairy. The bill would also allow farmers to sell raw milk to consumers through third-party cooperative buying clubs. This would allow consumers to join together and have the milk delivered to a nearby location so each individual consumer does not have to travel miles to the few farms that sell on-site. “Our farms and farmers struggle and allowing the sale of raw milk off farm premises, such as at a Farmers Market, not only helps farmers economically but makes it easier for consumers,” said sponsor Sen. Anne Gobi (D-Spencer). CHOKING ON FOOD (H 2130) – The Public Health Committee held a hearing on a proposal expanding the current law that requires restaurants with more than 25 seats to have on the premises an employee trained in manual procedures to remove food lodged in a customer's throat. The measure would make the requirements apply to all restaurants regardless of their seating capacity. The measure exempts take-out only restaurants and food trucks. It also eliminates the option of having a manual device on the premises for removing stuck food because critics say it has been determined that such devices are dangerous. Another provision prohibits any person who has been properly trained from being held liable for any civil damages as a result of any acts or omissions provided during the emergency assistance. Supporters noted that ChokeKaren M.

They are also often offered by municipal Departments of Health and Human Services. “[This bill], known as the 'Choke Save' bill, removes the 25-person threshold to require choke response training for restaurant employees because someone can choke as easily in a smaller venue as a larger one,” said sponsor Rep. Ruth Balser (D-Newton). “This bill will save lives by ensuring that restaurant employees will be able to respond to a choking emergency immediately, rather than delaying a response until emergency personnel might arrive.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Labor issues are still hindering employers, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the number of problems small business owners face in Massachusetts. It is not the time to put the brakes on tax relief for small businesses, as estate tax reform is long overdue in Massachusetts.” --- Christopher Carlozzi, the Massachusetts state director of the National Federation of Independent Business. “The threat of tick-borne disease is not going away. In fact, Massachusetts has seen one of the fastest growing increases of tick-borne disease cases in the nation in the past 30 years. It is our duty as a Legislature to act. This bill would establish a special commission of field experts and legislators charged with leading the way in identifying the best practices for increasing Lyme Disease awareness, combatting its harmful spread and assisting those suffering from its long-term effects.” ---Sen Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) testifying in favor of his bill creating a special commission to help combat Lyme disease. “Massachusetts is a leader in public education on the cutting edge of student development and advancement. Despite these gains, many of our children attend school in older buildings, where outdated plumbing puts them at risk of lead ingestion. This cannot continue.” ---Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem)on the third edition of the MASSPIRG Education Fund report “Get The Lead Out” which gave Massachusetts a C- grade for its lack of a statewide requirement to prevent lead contamination of schools’ drinking water. “If we give away hundreds of millions of dollars each year in new tax breaks for the ultra-rich and large corporations, we won’t be able to make the investments in housing, childcare and transportation that are needed to make Massachusetts truly affordable, equitable and competitive.” ---Andrew Farnitano, spokesperson for Raise Up Massachusetts in response to new data showing that state tax revenues plummeted last month, falling $2.2 billion below April 2022 collections. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and enate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session During the week of May 1-5, the House and Senate each met for a total of 20 minutes.

Pooled trusts are utilized typically when a single individual is applying for MassHealth benefits and is over the asset limit. A Payment is made to the non-profit organization that administers the pooled trust in order to reduce the applicant’s countable resources to $2,000. The administrator of the pooled trust may use the monies set aside for the applicant for support services that MassHealth does not pay for or for the purchase if items that MassHealth does not pay for, such as a computer. Any monies left over upon the MassHealth recipient’s death has to be utilized to pay back MassHealth for benefits paid on behalf of the recipient and typically 10% of the funds remaining will be kept by the pooled trust organization (often 20% if the recipient was receiving MassHealth benefits for two years or longer). If there are still monies remaining, those monies will be distributed to the family of the MassHealth recipient. The benefit is that MassHealth pays a nursing home anywhere from fifty to sixty percent of the private pay amount. Therefore, the amount that has to be repaid is much lower than the private pay rate allowing for the funds in the pooled trust to last longer. There is a chance that money will be left for the family to enjoy. Currently, a single person can put money into a pooled trust if over the asset limit and immediately qualify for MassHealth. There is no five-year look back period requirement. This recent memo is stating that after March 1, 2024, there will be a five-year look-back period requirement for funds placed into a pooled trust for applicants over the age of 65. Currently, there is no fiveyear look back period requirement for applicants who have funded a pooled trust at age 64 or younger, regardless of whether an application for MassHealth benefits is not submitted until age 65 or later, and that provision will remain the same. The likelihood is that this memo is designed to provide our state legislature time to enact legislation to allow for pooled trust to continue to be utilized as they have been in the past thereby requiring no fiveyear look-back period in order to avoid a disqualifying transfer. For example, if you wish to transfer your home into an irrevocable trust, you have to wait for five years in order to avoid a disqualifying transfer. We’ll see what law is actually passed in hopes of protecting the use of pooled trusts. Joseph D.

Don’t Have Much Dear Don’t, Very good question! Almost everyone needs a will, but only around one-third of American have actually prepared one. Having a last will and testament is important because it ensures your money and property will be distributed to the people you want to receive it after your death. If you die without a will (a.k.a. dying “intestate”), your estate will be settled in accordance with state law. Details vary by state, but assets typically are distributed using a hierarchy of survivors i.e., fi rst to a spouse, then to children, then your siblings, and so on. You also need to be aware that certain accounts take precedence over a will. If you jointly own a home or a bank account, for example, the house, and the funds in the account, will go to the joint holder, even if your will directs otherwise. Similarly, retirement accounts and life insurance policies are distributed to the benefi ciaries you designate, so it is important to keep them up to date too. Do You Need a Lawyer? Not necessarily. Creating a will with a do-it-yourself software program may be acceptable in some cases, particularly if you have a simple, straightforward estate and an uncomplicated family situation. Otherwise, it’s best to seek professional advice. An experienced lawyer can make sure you cover all your bases, which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after you’re gone. If you need help fi nding someone the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org), the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils (NAEPC.org) and the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC.org) websites are good resources that have online directories to help you search. Costs will vary depending on your location and the complexity of your situation, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $1,000 or more to get your will made. To help you save, shop around and get price quotes from several different fi rms. And before you meet with an attorney, make a detailed list of your assets and accounts to help make your visit more effi cient. If money is tight, check with your state’s bar association (see FindLegalHelp.org) to fi nd low-cost legal help in your area. Or call the Eldercare Locater at 800-677-1116 for a referral. If you are interested in a do-it-yourself will, some top options 50+ Job Seekers Networking Group info Sign up dates to consider are Nolo’s Quicken WillMaker & Trust (Nolo.com, $99) and Trust & Will (TrustandWill.com, $159). Or, if that’s more than you’re willing to pay, you can make your will for free at FreeWill. com or DoYourOwnWill.com. It’s also recommended that if you do create your own will, have a lawyer review it to make sure it covers all the important bases. Where to Store it? Once your will is written, the best place to keep it is either in a fi reproof safe or fi le cabinet at home, in a safe deposit box in your bank or online at sites like Everplans.com. But make sure your executor knows where it is and has access to it. Or, if a professional prepares your will, keep the original document at your lawyer’s offi ce. Also, be sure to update your will if your family or fi nancial circumstances change, or if you move to another state. 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.

Then I hightailed it home for my recliner. Malden’s own Ed Sheehan wrote these touching words some years ago. Ed was born in 1918 and passed away in 1992 at age 74. Those 74 years were fi lled with (like most of us) the ups and downs of life but always with a deep-rooted love of Malden. Ed was an actor appearing in the original (1968) Hawaii Five-O, 1980’s Magnum PI with Tom Selleck and the acclaimed 1960 fi lm “Twelve Hours to Kill” with Barbara Eden, Gavin MacLeod and Nico Minardos. If you are Malden, these words go straight from the Ed’s heart to yours. They jump off the page right out at you, much like Elliot Paul and his culturally important volume, “Linden on the Saugus Branch,” where you can see, smell and hear our beloved Malden of yesteryear: “There is a part of me that will always be Malden. Our family was wealthy in everything but money. My father was a sheet metal worker and my mother, a nurse...moved to Malden ...thinking it a nicer place to raise a family. They were right. Our clothes were always clean - our stomachs full. I left high school after the fi rst year to go to work. After that I got my education at the Malden Public Library.

Summer sassafras and lilac, fresh bread, crisp apples - the slap of a screen door and my mother’s voice summoning me to supper. In my memory there is a Malden that will never change. I am grateful to it - I wish it could have happened to everybody.” It is said in “Malden Musings”... • Had a wonderful conversation with Paul Abare’s oldest sister, Marie, recently. We went down Paul Abare memory lane (and of course) not a dry eye over the phone by the time we fi nished. Paul was a very special person who we all looked up to (literally as well as fi guratively) and admired not only for his hoop skills, but for the kind, gentle man he was. • On a recent Friday morning walk through the streets of Malden with brother Joe, we encounter some of Malden’s best and brightest: Parking Department Supervisor Ernie “Son of Ernie” Ardolino, retired Malden firefighter and all-star southpaw pitcher for the Belmont Hill Bashers of the old Malden YMCA Outreach Softball League – Donny Boyce, and the original “problem solver” himself, Dana Brown. Dana was off to give advice and to problem solve for yet another school system within the Greater Boston area. Darn, why can’t we get guys like him to solve our problems. • Good grief!

As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – and now, the word directly from San Rock: “As we approach the 93rd Annual Saint Rocco Feast, we realize how blessed we are to keep this tradition alive – for 93 years! When a group of Italian immigrants assembled for the first time in 1929, it was to honor a tradition they brought with them from their homeland of Italy. They would be proud to know that their tradition is alive and well. The spirit of Saint Rocco lives in our hearts the whole year, and this gives us the strength to carry on the tradition of our forefathers. Mille grazie (many thanks) to all of you for being a part of the San Rocco tradition and supporting us throughout the years. Please mark your calendars for the greatest event in the city of Malden for the past 93 years and join us on August 11th through the 13th. Buona Fest! Viva Saint Rocco!
