THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 16, 2023 Page 3 ~ Malden Musings ~ “Frank ‘Red’ Harris Remembered” By Peter Levine S herman, set the Wayback Machine to... Red Harris, at times, is all but forgotten except for those of us who care about keeping our glorious Malden sports history alive. Frank “Red” Harris is (really) “All About Malden,” proudly graduating Malden Catholic after winning a state football title in 1965. He hails from Edgeworth. Don’t they all?! A proud fl ag waving Edgeworthian in a long line of exceptional athletes that came out of Ward 2. That famous 1965 M.C. football team went undefeated, winning the Catholic League Championship and becoming the Class B Co-Champs with outstanding players, such as Red, Steve Wishoski, Neil Hurley and Dickie Cullen. This was just the beginning of Red’s fabulous football career. His fame would grow when he went off to Boston College to play ball. Red set just about every B.C. passing record during his three varsity football seasons at the Heights, establishing standards that stood for more than a decade until another local guy, 1984 Heisman Trophy winner (Natick boy) Doug Flutie, personally rewrote B.C.’s football record book. Frank helped Joe Yukica’s Eagles become an Eastern football powerhouse from 1968-1970: going 19-9, completing 366 passes for 4,555 yards and 44 touchdowns. How ’bout that! Red was named co-captain his senior year, and in an interview years later he fondly recalled beating Army in 1970 at Alumni Stadium, 21-13: “I remember that score very well, because I had a running touchdown on a bootleg play that day. I didn’t have many running touchdowns in my career, as we had Fred Willis and a few others who took care of the running stuff .” Drafted by the Detroit Lions after graduating B.C., Red played behind Greg Landry (allPro in 1971) and Bill Munson as a taxi squad player. Taxi squad players were paid $500 a week for a 14-week season; total pay for the year: $7,000. After three years he decided to try Canadian football with the Edmonton Eskimos of the C.F.L. An early season injury stopped Red’s football career in its tracks. Red joined the ranks of the Boston College football immortals after his terrifi c varsity career on Chestnut Hill. Many B.C. football fans still remember him for his stellar play. Red recalls that “growing up in Malden, playing for M.C. and then ANGELO’S A FULL SERVICE 1978-2023 Celebrating 45 Years in Business! s!

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 16, 2023 Page 7 TB12 Foundation celebrates graduation of student athletes in Brockton and Malden with special virtual appearance by Tom Brady O n June 5, 2023, the TB12 Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underserved athletes and maximizing their health, well-being and athletic potential, commemorated the graduation of two classes of students from its TB12 Training Program in partnership with Brockton and Malden High Schools. Adding to the excitement of this memorable event was a surprise virtual chat featuring TB12 Co-Founder Tom Brady. Tom joined the TB12 Foundation’s virtual meet & greet with a group of Juniors and Seniors from Brockton High School and congratulated them on their completion of the TB12 Program. “Where you’re sitting is the same place I worked out at for a lot of years in Foxboro. Like you, I had big dreams, too, and I wanted to maximize my potential as a quarterback, and the only way to do that was to take care of myself and my body,” Brady said. “Take the knowledge you have gained from this experience and pass it onto your teammates, your parents and family members,” he continued. “You all have a great life ahead that’s filled with opportunities and I’m so happy that TB12 was able to play a part of that.” Malden High School students were unable to attend Monday night’s event due to their graduation ceremony being rescheduled for the same evening, but they did complete the program – Peyton Lightbody, Rachel Lin, Naveen Nemalapuri, Ava Conroy, Jonald Joseph, Kyle Lee, Nyandeng Yak, Ezechiel Noelsaint, Andrew Louis, Zach Pan, Noelle Hayes and Victoria Gammon. The program was created in 2020 as the TB12 Foundation sought an opportunity to support youth in the local community during the pandemic. During the 2020-2021 school year, the TB12 Foundation partnered with Brockton Public Schools and established a TB12 Training Program for 17 aspiring high school athletes. Recognizing the continuing need to support young and underserved athletic talent, the Foundation expanded its programming for the 2021-2022 school year and partnered with both Brockton and Malden High Schools to train 24 students. The program was renewed at both schools for the 2022-2023 school year with 24 students taking part in the training.

Body Coaches provide twice weekly sessions for fall and winter seasons during the school year and donated a variety of TB12 equipment, protein powder, electrolytes, protein bars and TB12 gear. Planning for the summer session is currently underway. “This has been a tremendous partnership that has yielded exceptional results for our young athletes,” noted TB12 Foundation Executive Director Lisa Borges. “Year after year, the drive, dedication and grit these students possess is impressive and inspiring.” At the final session, students competed in an obstacle course created by the Body Coaches, who also participated. The evening continued with a catered dinner and a friendly trivia competition with special prizes to test the students’ knowledge of the TB12 Method. One of this year’s graduating students said, “Being part of TB12 has transformed me, both as an athlete and as an individual. I have gained a profound understanding of the hard work and care required to consistently perform at my best. It has truly shifted my perspective on health and wellness.” About the TB12 Foundation: Founded in 2015 by seven-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady, the TB12 Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to maximizing the health, well-being and athletic potential of underserved athletes by providing free access to health and wellness resources that support preparation, performance and recovery – empowering people who are at risk due to economic or health-related obstacles to reach their performance and life goals.

If you are a resident of FloriI f you were to move to Florida, Texas, New Hampshire, or to any other state that has no estate tax, or to a state with a much higher estate tax exemption than Massachusetts, you still need to be aware that if you own real estate in Massachusetts, you will most likely have to pay a Massachusetts estate tax. Let’s say you have a rental property in Boston worth $750,000 and you live in Florida. You also have $1million in stocks, bonds and savings accounts. The Estate Tax Bureau in Massachusetts will require you to file a Massachusetts estate tax return. If you divide $750,000 by $1,750,000, you arrive at 42.86 percent of your total estate located in Massachusetts. You would then calculate the Massachusetts estate tax based upon the $1,750,000. After that initial tax is calculated, you would then multiply it by 42.86 percent to arrive at the balance due to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In this example, the initial Massachusetts estate tax would approximate $81,000. You would then multiply $81,000 x 42.86 percent to arrive at a balance due to the Commonwealth of $34,717. One way to avoid this $34,717 estate tax is to place the rental real estate into a limited liability company (LLC). Once title is transferred to the LLC, you will own a membership interest in the LLC which is similar to owning stock in a corporation. As a Florida resda, if you decide to keep your old primary residence in Massachusetts to reside there during the summer months for example, if you place that residence into an LLC, you may not be able to claim the capital gain exclusion of $500,000 for a married couple upon the sale of your primary residence. However, if the old primary residence was owned by you in your own name for at least two of the five years prior to the sale, you would still be able to claim the $500,000 exclusion even if for three of those five preceding years, title was in the name of the LLC. If the rental property located in Massachusetts is held by the LLC and you are the only owner of the membership interest, then no separate tax return needs to be filed for the LLC as it is a single member LLC for tax purposes. Likewise, if a Trust owns the membership interest in the LLC, it is still considered to be a single member LLC and no separate tax returns need to be filed. The rent income and expenses are reported on Schedule E. If two or more individuals or two or more Trusts own membership interests in the LLC, then partnership income tax returns would need to be filed. If a partnership income tax return needs to be filed, each member of the LLC will receive a K-1 form in order to report his or her distributive share of the net rental income or loss on his or her individual income tax return.

Forgetaboutit! We loved you very much, Jimmy. Everybody did. Edgeworth grieves for the extra-large hole that you leave in our lives. It is with extremely heavy heart that I share the loss of the last of the “stand-up guys” – often imitated, never duplicated – Jimmy the “Prince of Pearl Street” Palermo. We’ll meet again someday, big guy. We’ll have a cold one and maybe you can make us one of those extra-long sausage subs you were so famous for at 3 in the morning. Rest in peace, friend. • Speaking of the Memorial Day celebration at Forestdale Cemetery... New memorials to honor veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan were unveiled. One, fittingly, portrayed the sacrifice and service that women have bravely contributed going back to the Revolutionary War. ’Bout time! Good job, Malden! Also unveiled was a new memorial in honor of Lance Corporal Edward M. Garvin, who was K.I.A. in Iraq on October 4, 2006. Edward’s sister and son were in attendance, making this day very special. • Spotted at the Forestdale Cemetery that morning was an abundance of birdlife but not one coyote sighting! Thank goodness. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – passage revisited and reworked, Why not Malden Square? Davis Square in Somerville was not always “home of the hipsters.” Central Square wasn’t always the coolest place in Cambridge to shop for Doc Martens and rare old blues records, or to drink perfectly poured pints. Have you driven through Charlestown lately? Not the Charlestown we knew growing up (right, Kevin Benner?)! How ’bout the Seaport District?

It’s actually happening in real time. Right now! With “The Beast That Ate Pleasant Street” now part of our prehistoric past, the whole downtown area has started to bloom! New retail shops and restaurants have opened their doors and added a dynamic never before seen in Malden. Barney Kahn would be gobsmacked at 2023 Malden Square (ask Barbara Tolstrup or Arthur who Barney was)! Add to the mix our ever-improving school system, the multimillion dollar infrastructure betterment to the downtown streetscape (thank you, Senator Ed Markey and our state delegation), the “Dine in Malden, Taste the World” campaign that caught fire and was the envy of all our neighbors, and Mayor (Christenson’s) at all times forward-thinking administration – and we got a “perfect storm” unfolding. Let’s give the downtown merchants another huge “welcome back” this spring/summer. Drink, eat, shop locally and get your merry on in good old Malden Square! Future home of the hipsters!? Postscript 1: With that said... from its humble beginnings Malden has been a working-class city. Residents (for the most part) with common sense; they worked hard, fought hard and (at times) enjoyed life (too) hard.

We have no tolerance for our elected officials’ grandstanding. We recognize a fraud and those who are self-aggrandizing from Robinson’s News to Oak Grove Variety to China Garden. We in Malden are fortunate to have been led through the years by such capable and trustworthy mayors, such as Gary Christenson, Richie Howard and before that (the best of them all) Ed Lucey. These days Craig Spadafora, Amanda Linehan, Carey McDonald, Peg Crowe, Chris Simonelli, Steve Winslow – to name but a few – have stepped up “bigly” and have rewarded Malden with hard work and dedication to the electorate. This year might see some changes in the political landscape. New faces have emerged, which is always a good thing – fresh perspectives and (hopefully) innovative new ideas can only mean good things for us who have called Malden home, both literally and figuratively. That is why it is important for us to continue this tradition and only elect committed officials whose sole purpose is to serve the interests of Maldonians.

Chuha Clerk June 09, 2023 June 16, 2023 aavvyvy S avy Dear Never, Yes, depending on your specifi c circumstances, you may very well be eligible for divorced spouses Social Security benefi ts. Here’s what you should know. Who’s Eligible? A divorced spouse can collect a Social Security retirement benefi t on the earnings record of their ex-husband (or ex-wife) if you are at least age 62, were married for at least 10 years, are unmarried, and are not eligible for a higher benefi t based on your own earnings record. In order to collect, your former spouse must also be at least 62 and eligible for Social Security benefi ts. But he doesn’t have to be receiving them in order for you to collect divorced spouse’s benefi ts, as long as you’ve been divorced for at least two years. Even if your ex is remarried, it won’t aff ect your right to divorcee benefi ts, nor will it aff ect your ex’s retirement benefi ts or his current spouse’s benefi ts. Benefi t Amount A divorced spouse can receive up to 50 percent of their ex’s full Social Security benefi t, or less if they take benefi ts before their full retirement age, which is 66 for people born in 1945-1954 but is gradually increased to age 67 for people born in 1960 or later. To fi nd out your full retirement age and see how much your benefi ts will be reduced by taking them early see SSA.gov/benefi ts/retirement/planner/agereduction.html. Keep in mind though, that if you qualify for benefi ts based on your own work history, you’ll receive the larger of the two benefi ts. You cannot receive benefi ts on both your record, and your ex’s work record too. To fi nd out how much your retirement benefi ts will be, see your Social Security statement at SSA.gov/myaccount. And to get an estimate of your ex’s benefi ts, call Social Security at 800772-1213. You’ll need to show your marriage certifi cate and divorce decree to prove your marriage lasted at least 10 years along with his Social Security number to get it. Other Factors to Know You also need to be aware that working can aff ect your divorced spouse’s benefi ts. If you start taking benefi ts while working, and are under full retirement age, your benefi ts will be reduced $1 for every $2 you earn above the annual limit, which is $21,240 in 2023. In the year you reach full retirement age, however, the annual limit increases to $56,520 and the reduction lowers to $1 for every $3 above that limit. See SSA.gov/pubs/ EN-05-10069.pdf for more details. Another factor that can reduce your divorced spouse’s benefi ts is receiving a pension from an employer that did not withhold Social Security taxes (like a government). This is a rule know as Government Pension Off set (see SSA.gov/benefi ts/retirement/ planner/gpo-calc.html) which can reduce your benefi ts by twothirds of the amount of your pension. Divorced Survivor’s Benefi ts You also need to know that when your ex-spouse dies (and if you were married for 10 or more years), you become eligible for divorced survivor benefi ts, which is worth up to 100 percent of what your ex-spouse was due. Survivor benefi ts are available to divorced spouses as early as age 60 (50 if you’re disabled). But if you remarry before 60, you become ineligible unless the marriage ends. Remarrying after age 60 will not aff ect your eligibility. Also note that if you are receiving divorced spouses benefi ts when your ex-spouse dies, you will automatically be switched over to the higher paying survivor benefi t.

Dear Savvy Senior, Is it possible to collect Social Security benefi ts from my ex-spouse? We were married for 12 years but have been divorced for almost 20 years now. Never Remarried
