The Golden Tornado football squad, like many others, out in plenty of offseason work preparing for the 2023 campaign, but went three consecutive weeks with no compensation. Using a combination of quick-strike off ense and a bend-but-don’tbreak defense, Malden opened the Greater Boston League portion of its schedule with a 27-12 victory over visiting Somerville at Macdonald Stadium in Malden Friday night. The win stopped a threegame slide to start the season for Malden, as the Blue and Gold went to 1-3 overall (1-0 Greater Boston League). Somerville stayed winless at 0-4 (0-2 GBL). “We are happy with the win and glad our team earned the win,” said Malden third-year Head Coach Witche Exilhomme – who has won his GBL opener two years running now. “We still have mistakes to correct and lots of work to do so we can improve as a team. But nothing is better than getting a win on Friday night.” Malden got some impressive performances from a number of players on both sides of the ball.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 6, 2023 Page 5 Malden delegation joins colleagues in passing bipartisan tax relief bill to help working families and seniors O n September 28, 2023, State Senator Jason Lewis and State Representatives Steve Ultrino, Kate Lipper-Garabedian and Paul Donato joined their colleagues in the Massachusetts Legislature to overwhelmingly enact a bipartisan tax relief package to help make living in Massachusetts more aff ordable for working families and seniors and to bolster our state’s economic competitiveness. An Act to improve the Commonwealth’s competitiveness, affordability, and equity phases in a series of tax reforms expected to provide $561 million in taxpayer savings in the current fi scal year and grow to approximately $1 billion in tax relief by fi scal year 2027. The Senate and House both passed their versions of the bill earlier this year and reconciled differences in their versions before enacting the bill. The bill is now on Governor Maura Healey’s desk for her signature and/or other actions. The bill substantially increases the child and dependent tax credit, senior circuit breaker tax credit and earned income tax credit. The bill also reforms the Massachusetts estate tax by raising the threshold to $2 million and eliminating the current cliff eff ect. A number of housing production tax credits are also expanded to help spur the creation of more market-rate (in gateway cities) and aff ordable housing units. Jason Lewis State Senator Kate LipperGarabedian State Representative “The goal of this bill is to help low-income residents, working families, and seniors aff ord the high cost of living in Massachusetts,” said Senator Lewis. “Substantially increasing the child and dependent, senior circuit breaker, and earned inDELEGATION | SEE PAGE 20 JOHN MACKEY & ASSOCIATES ~ Attorneys at Law ~ * PERSONAL INJURY * REAL ESTATE * FAMILY LAW * PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY * LANDLORD/TENANT DISPUTES 14 Norwood Street Everett, MA 02149 Paul Donato State Representative Steve Ultrino State Representative Phone: (617) 387-4900 Fax: (617) 381-1755 WWW.JMACKEYLAW.COM SABATINO INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 Auto * Home * Boat * Renter * Condo * Life * Multi-Policy Discounts * Commercial 10% Discounts * Registry Service Also Available Sabatino Insurance is proud to welcome the loyal customers of PHONE: (617) 387-7466 FAX: (617) 381-9186 Visit us online at: WWW.SABATINO-INS.COM

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 6, 2023 ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Lissette’s vision for a better Malden is the best way forward A s a resident of Malden for the past 8 years, I am invested in the vibrant, diverse community that we share. I love that there are so many kind people, interesting businesses, and multicultural organizations in Malden. It’s because of my love for these aspects of our city that I will be voting for Lissette Alvarado for Mayor next month. While I’ve voted for Mayor Christenson in the past, I’m convinced that Lissette’s vision for a better Malden is the best way forward for everyone in this community. There are many reasons that I am throwing my support behind Lissette and not the current mayor. The most important is her commitment to real, honest communication. I’ve never been a fan of how Mayor Christenson interacts with the citizens of Malden. He is a classic politician; he shows up for handshakes and photo shoots, and then he’s off to the next publicity opportunity. I’ve interacted with him several times, and I’ve never gotten the impression that he really cares about the people in front of him, only what they can do for him. Lissette couldn’t be more different. I’ve spoken to her at length on many different subjects, and I’ve always felt heard and respected. She’s a real person who not only talks about issues she cares about and her vision for a fairer and greener city, but she also listens to and values the experiences and perspectives of others on these issues. She’s earnest in the heartfelt desires she expresses, and she is proud of raising her family here in Malden. Her forthright and communal approach to governing would bring real progress for all the citizens of Malden. Lawrence A.

I know that not everyone in Mr. Chris Burgan Malden, MA I also really connect with what Lissette stands for. She passionately wants to make our schools better with real support for teachers and librarians.

Mayor Christenson is well-known, and many will find that fact comforting. To those folks, I urge you reach out to Lissette. Give her a chance to listen to your concerns, and give yourself a chance to hear her plans for the future. We can all feel that the world is changing more and more every day, and I feel that the best person to lead us into an equitable, environmentally friendly, and transparent future is Lissette Alvarado. I’ll conclude by saying this: if you really want to be heard, there is only one true advocate to vote for in November: Lissette. vation Committee and my fellow Councillors for ensuring that the community’s vision for Trafton is fully realized.” Dog park improvements include new rice stone surfacing, water access, improved berms to prevent the surfacing from leaving the park and improved entryways and fencing to increase safety. Ball field improvements include restoring the infield and backstop while installing new irrigation in the outfield. A new painted play area will welcome games for children and a community event space. The new three-quarters basketball court answers a priority expressed in community meetings, and upgrades to the remaining tennis court include new surfacing and posts. Court fencing, access and seating will be improved. The project is being administered by the City of Malden’s Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (OSPCD). Shadley Associates is the landscape architect and J. J. Phelan is the general contractor, a team that has completed several other projects in Malden, including Trafton Park Phase I and the Devir Park project. Project funding includes $1 million in the City’s American Rescue Plan Act funds and $160,000 in Community Preservation Act funds. Construction work begins this month and will be completed in late spring or early summer 2024.

Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 6, 2023 ~ Malden Musings ~ “National Italian American Sports Hall of Famer Dom Sardo” By Peter Levine D om Sardo is going into yet another Hall of Fame. He continues on this path, he’ll catch up to Steve Freker eventually. Dominic was selected for induction into the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame (NIASHF) along with another gentleman named Thomas DiBenedetto. This is a big deal! Out of the many worthy athletes of Italian descent throughout the New England region, our Dom Sardo was chosen above them all! I love Dom Sardo! Always did. We all do. If you know him, you just adore the guy – a real sweetheart of a man and a true gentleman. Malden, please show your support for one of our best and brightest. Old friends, ex-teammates, “Cave” dwellers from the old Y days! Purchase a ticket. Buy a table. Have a fun afternoon and salute an outstanding human being, Mr. Dominic Sardo. The dinner and induction ceremony are at Anthony’s on Canal Street on October 15, and tickets can be reserved (for a table or a single) by contacting NIASHF organizers Dave Caiazzo at 781507-3005 or davecaipitching@ gmail.com or Paul Solano at psfinserve@aol.com. Dominic was a two-time national champ and one-time world champion weightlifter as well as a Hall of Fame wrestler at Malden High. According to very reliable sources (Dave O’Brien), Dom was the first ever Malden wrestler to win a sectional tournament (O’B was second – one hour later, by the way). Dom Sardo amazing fact: Dominic was a Pop Warner inside linebacker the year they won the GBL championship in 1971 – weighing less than a hundred pounds. Holy cow! Dom speaks: “How do I feel about the induction? I feel honored and humbled. I feel the journey to accomplish things like this is far better than the accolades you reach. Taught me just because you win a world championship doesn’t make you better than anyone else. You may be better that one day, for a brief moment. But then, you still have life challenges. Which in fact, all the work and sacrifices you make when training to compete, prepare and help you throughout life’s challenges. Yes, I was a world champion and did very well in the sport, but I still pay $2 plus for a cup of coffee, people still cut me off in traffic and I am still afraid of the dentist. I believe growing up in Malden and hanging around who we hung around with taught me to be proud, work harder than anyone else and respect competitors. Best compliment I have ever received was a kid, I forget where he was from. He said to me, ‘the one thing I remember about kids from Malden was, if you fought one of them, you had to fight all of them.’ It wasn’t so much about the fighting, but to me, it was about how proud we were and how we always stuck together.” Go figure! Looks like the Levine brothers – Joe and Peter – had a small hand in Dom’s emergence as one of the best power lifters in the country. I’ll let Dom explain: “The Levine’s had a lot to do with me doing well with the power lifting success. Every Saturday morning when we lined up against the wall at the (old) YMCA to play basketball the Levine brothers were usually captains, and I would be last picked (if I was lucky). However, 99% of the time I never got picked. So, I would go down to the weight room to do something while you, Joe and all my friends would play basketball. Again, thanks I appreIn the photo: National Italian American Sports Hall of Famer Dom Sardo. ciate it.” Ouch. Joe and I knew “this world is rough and if a man’s gonna make it, he’s gotta be tough” so we thought not picking you would be the best thing for your personal growth, Dom. Glad we could be of help. Insert smiley face. Congratulations, my friend, from Joe and I! Breaking news...Maxim Magazine 2009 “Hometown Hottie” semifinalist and 2008 Barstool Sports Magazine “Sexiest Bartender” cover girl Nicole Hirtle has recently started a new gig as a “celebrity bartender” for Bar Babes Boston, Nicole being one of the celebrity bartenders on a star-studded roster of celebrity bartenders. Nicole grew up in Melrose. She was captain of the Melrose High School cheerleading squad in 2000 and has very strong Malden ties. Her grandfather was Washington Street guy Mike Picillo, bartender at the Moose for many years and best pals with the Dorazios. Her “Auntie Doris” was married to Dominic DiGiammarino from the legendary DiGiammarino clan out of Edgeworth. Her second cousin is early 1960s singing sensation Susan Capone (MHS 1960, I believe). Her mom Pam (Picillo) graduated MHS in 1975 (and was one of the prettiest girls in the class), going on to toil at the Post Office on Mountain Avenue for way too many years. In the 1950s/1960s, her uncle Henry (Picillo) owned everybody’s favorite hot dog joint, Joe & Nemo’s in the Square. She is cousin to Jimmy “Two Suits” Capone (tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, clarinet, flute) from the renowned house rockin’ blues/soul band Bellevue Cadillac. Her sister Angela (Falzarano) is an award-winning real estate agent out of Peabody. And she is the loving niece of longtime and much-beloved Malden High School educator, now retired – the legendary – Marguerite (Picillo) Gonsalves.

The headline in the Malden Evening News screamed, “Malden’s ITAM Club bans ‘Disco Dances.’” Dancing to disco was all the rage in the late ’70s! The Stones went disco! The Who went disco! Heck, even Malden’s premier lounge act at the time, “The C Notes,” went disco (RIP, dear friend Phil Longo). But there will be no more “disco dances” at the Italian American War Veterans Club on Oakland Street due to some unruly Medford hooligans and the ageold twin evils of low beer prices and pulsating dance rhythms. You know, teenagers and young adults engaged in suggestive, stimulating and tantalizing motions induced by the provocative rhythms of music. Insert smiley face. According to written reports, there were differing accounts of how the brawl MUSINGS| SEE PAGE 9

MUSINGS | FROM PAGE 8 actually started. Party crashers, 60 cent Heinekens, no police detail, jealous boyfriends and overcrowding were cited as contributing to the melee. At the height of the brawl, according to those on the scene, people were “yelling, screaming, swearing, fi ghting, and throwing beer bottles, glasses, and chairs both inside the building and in the parking lot.” Seven young people from Medford were arrested and arraigned for idle and disorderly conduct in front of Judge Maurice Flynn, but four others were only brought in for “protective custody.” They were released once they were “sober.” Malden good guy (the late) Patrolman Al Macy suff ered a “pinched neck nerve” trying to quell the disturbance. ITAM spokesman Arthur Skinner prohibited “disco dances” going forward. In the spirit of full disclosure, my associates and I were in attendance but rest assured – nobody from Edgeworth or the ITAMS were involved. All members acted like the “perfect gentlemen” they always were (insert smiley face). Postscript 1: Brian Carroll! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing the news of Dominic’s induction onto my radar screen. Brian is from that fabulous MHS Class of 1976 that showed the rest of Malden how to party hearty during the Bicentennial Year of our great country. Bonesy and his big brother Peter (Panama) Carroll are what make Malden so great. Their Amerige Park bona fi des are written in stone – both inducted into the “Malden Musings” Hall of Fame many years ago. Panama and Bonesy, legendary Maldonians, neither of them requiring a Facebook page/presence to have their passion for community felt in these fi ve square miles of real estate.

Aff ordable housing, language access and another basic – safe streets – came up again and again, according to nearly every one of the Malden City Council hopefuls who participated in the fi rst Candidates Forum of the Malden 2023 election season. A solid crowd of over nearly 200 fi lled up many of the seats in the auditorium of the Malden Senior Center for the evening’s event, which was hosted by the Malden-based Chinese Culture Connection, Urban Media Arts (UMA) of Malden, the Mass. Senior Action Council, Malden Reads, and the Malden-based American Association for Arab Women. (AAAW). Wednesday’s event was one of three such forums by the various organizations this election season. On the next three Wednesdays, three more forums will be held: — Councillor at Large Candidates Forum, Wednesday, October 11, Malden Senior Center, 6:00 p.m. — Mayoral Candidates Forum, Wednesday October 18, Malden Senior Center, 6:00 p.m. — School Committee Candidates Forum, Wednesday, October 25, Malden Senior Cenuse. We will be notifying all abutters of demolition and construction schedules and continue to share information,” Councillor Linehan said. She also said the imminent Ward 3 Councillor Amanda Linehan answers a question. (Advocate Photo) ter, 6:00 p.m. Wednesday’s format consisted of opening statements, then individuals associated with the host groups asked questions, before questions were solicited and asked from the audience. The fi rst questions asked of the candidates was “What do you see as your Ward’s number one priority?” Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley, who is running unopposed for a fi fth consecutive term, said that aff ordability of living downtown and other parts of his ward is the chief issue. “We have so many luxury apartments downtown, and the mitigation funds [raised] are being taken from Ward 4 and spread throughout Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon listens to another candidate. (Advocate Photo) the city.” Other issues he cited included “making streets safe,” since “many of our ward residents are scared to cross the streets out of safety concerns.” Councillor O’Malley said he is proud to have been one of the more strident supporters on the Council since he fi rst began serving in 2016 of the city’s push to replace lead pipes. “We have a lot of special needs students in our city and have to keep the lead out of water as it is not healthy for them or others.” He praised the eff orts of Ward 6 Councillor Stephen Winslow and Conservation Commission Chair Isaac Slavitt for championing lead pipe replacement as well. “It has been data driven, we SOME CANDIDATES: Listening in, pictured from left to right: Jerry Leone (Ward 6 Candidate), Ari Taylor (Ward 5 Candidate), Sheila Rachels (Ward 2 Candidate), Stephen Winslow (Ward 6 Incumbent) and Moderator Marcia Manong. (Advocate Photo) are replacing lead pipes where children live,” O’Malley said. Ward 3 Councillor Amanda Linehan, who is running unopposed for reelection to a third term, cited the Malden Hospital site redevelopment as the top priority in her ward. A plan is now in place and green-lighted to raze the existing building and replace it with a new psychological health facility. As part of the plan, six acres of recreational/green space is being deeded at no cost to the City of Malden. “This new six acres of park space is a once-in-a-generation gift, and we will use community engagement to determine its ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS....BEST unit in Hillview West!

Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe is also running unopposed for reelection to a seventh consecutive term (fi rst elected in 2011). She said increasing the commercial/industrial tax base and increasing aff ordable housing are top priorities for Ward 1 residents. She said she backs inclusionary zoning, which will require new Malden residential construction to include 15 percent aff ordable housing. “We have been working with the Affordable Housing Trust and dedicating ARPA [American Rescue Act] funds to aff ordable housing,” Councillor Crowe said, pointing to a project already underway to convert the former Salvation Army structure on Main Street in Ward 1 to exclusively aff ordable housing. Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon, one of the longest-serving public offi cials in history, is seeking reelection over challenger Sheila Rachels, who also participated in the forum Wednesday. Condon cited major projects now underway, including the Devir Park rehabilitation as a green space and primarily passive recreation, as a top priority. He said a grand opening of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the project is planned for October 12. Councillor Condon is another strong proponent of the replacement of lead water lines in the city. “It is an unglamourous project, but we have replaced hundreds of lead lines around the city, and we still have a lot more work to do with the quality-of-life improvement project,” Councillor Condon said. “We have five more streets being paved in our ward next week. Years ago, we just covered over the streets. Now we are taking the time to replace the gas lines and lead lines where they lie. A lot of work remains, along with paving streets and replacing sidewalks, but a lot has been done as well.” Ward 6 Councillor Stephen Winslow, seeking a second term against the challenge of Jerry Leone, for a second consecutive election, said, “keeping Maplewood Square vibrant” is the top priority in his Ward. “We are facing a big threat. We already lost three restaurants, several residents and we may lose those vacated buildings to demolition, though we are attempting to have it delayed.” Councillor Winslow said the Maplewood committee is using students from Metro Bids at Boston University to help create “a community vision for Maplewood Square.” “This is the biggest crisis we face in Ward 6 – preserving Maplewood Square for businesses and residents – and I will continue to be an independent voice for the residents,” Winslow said, noting that eff orts are underway to develop a Maplewood Square “brand” and that memorable events, such as “May”-plewood Fest,” would continue.” Ward 2 challenger Sheila Rachels said that walkability and overall safety in her Ward were the priorities cited most often by residents through her eff orts going door-to-door in the Edgeworth neighborhood. “There are lots of speeding cars and a major issue is to determine how we implement safer crossings,” Rachels, a lifelong Malden resident who is a political newcomer, said. She said communication is an issue in her Ward. “When I was out in the neighborhood, people were surprised there was a candidate coming up and talking to them. They don’t feel like they’re being heard.” In Ward 5, Councillor candidates Ari Taylor and Julie Willcox Turner are facing off for the seat being vacated by City Council President Barbara Murphy, who is not seeking reelection. Taylor cited “overwhelmingly, traffi c and safety on the roads as the top concern.” “We are the center of the city, a big cut through and pass through. The city just hired a new traffi c planner, whom I plan to meet with to discuss a plan regarding streets [in our Ward].” Taylor mentioned the traffi c light and fl ow at Mount Vernon and Salem Streets as “not working out anymore.” “When 7-11 opened, it worked then but doesn’t work now,” she said. Taylor said she would work to protect the environment and address climate change in Malden and work to help keep Maplewood Square vibrant. Ward 6 challenger Jerry Leone, who fi nished runner-up to Winslow in the last city election in 2021, said his law enforcement background would spur him to work with the police chief and police department to help protect his Ward residents and hold informational community meetings. “Maplewood Square has to be protected and we need to attract businesses,” candidate Leone said. He was clear on another issue: “I do not support bike and bus lanes and I don’t want new ones and would work to get rid of others.” ELECTION | SEE PAGE 23

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 6, 2023 Page 11 Friends gathered to celebrate the life of Frances Price F riends, colleagues and loved ones gathered at the Irish American Club last week to honor the memory of Frances Price, Speech Language Pathologist from Eliot Early Intervention, who worked in and made a tremendous impact for many children of Malden, Everett and the surrounding area. Frances joined Eliot Community Human Services as a speech language pathologist in 1998. She specialized in speech, language and swallowing disorders in young children. As a speech language pathologist, she evaluated, diagnosed and treated children with communication and swallowing troubles. Her greatest joy was working with children and helping them with their speech issues. For Frances, her career was a truly a labor of love. The event was a day of remembrances of a woman who meant so much to so many. Guests were invited to share stories and memories of Frances. Laurie Tobey-Freedman, LICSW, Senior Program Director of Eliot Early Intervention and Early Childhood MH Consultation, commenced and then invited others to share their memories. “Thank you all for coming to honor the remarkable life of Frances Price. When we lose someone suddenly, the way Amanda Spartichino Lopez, Sam Price, Libby Price and Imene Bouziane Saidi were among those who gathered to remember their friend. (Courtesy photo) we lost Frances, it can feel like we didn’t have a chance to tell them how much they meant to us. Looking around this room today it is clear to see how much she meant to so many people – she was a huge part of our El program for so many years and touched SO many lives.” Her friend Imene Bouziane Saidi shared, “I choose to remember you as the fi erce warrior that you were. You would show up to every major life event for your families, an important doctor’s appointment, an annual IFSP meeting or a team meeting to discuss concerns or a transition meeting with the new school. You’d show up for birthdays whether if they fell on a session day… You’d show up on bad days, too, walking into our doors and turning our days around with your infectious smile and your kindness. You were so full of life, so full of love.” Former clients of Frances also A C it y of Malden Commendation for dedication (Courtesy photo) shared the effect she had on their lives. Dewayne Henry: “I just turned 18, and I know that without Francis, I wouldn’t be as articulate as I am now.” “The fi rst time I met Frances I knew she was an amazing person. She became a part of my family and she truly changed Frances and friends (Courtesy photo) my son’s life,” said Amanda Spartichino. The gathering was truly a celebration of the life of a woman who dedicated her life to children.

Friday night Bowdridge, who stands 6-2, found his favorite target, the 6-5 Cardoso, for another touchdown pass; Bowdridge also threw a TD pass of 55 yards to big Earl Fevrier, dumping it on the left sideline to the 6-2, 240 tight end and then watching him rumble all the way to the end zone. For the night, Bowdridge had the best statistical game for a Tornado quarterback in many seasons, surpassing 200 yards passing (on 10-of-16 completions) for the first time since the 2016 season. Bowdridge threw zero interceptions and did not display first-time jitters either, with no shaky handoffs or missed connections with his running backs. “He [Bowdridge] did a good job.

Everett has also had a monopoly on the GBL Football Championship for the past three decades, winning every one except two from 1993-2023. Cambridge upset Everett on Thanksgiving Day in 2002, clinching that year’s GBL title. Malden, under then Head Coach Joe Pappagallo, upset Everett on October 24, 2015, and won the GBL crown after clinching it with a win over Medford. All in all, alone at the top has been a frequent perch for the Everett High football team. Well, now they are defi nitely alone at the top in the Greater Boston League for another reason.

Last year, two of the eight GBL teams competed in the Eastern Mass. highest division, Everett and Malden. Not coincidentally, Everett and Malden are two of the winningest teams in the history of MIAA football, going back to the early 1900s.

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 6, 2023 THE SPORTS WIRE: Taking a Look Around Our Region in Sports; Closeups and Views from the Spyglass When you have been around long enough, sometimes you feel like you’re in a “Forrest Gump” movie How’s this? Malden’s longest-playing professional baseball player Carmine Cappuccio’s first manager was Terry Francona... I met him! By Steve Freker W hen you have been around long enough, you have gone to some places, seen some things and met a whole bunch of people. With all the places I have been – especially chasing games all over the country, at all different levels of baseball – I have had so many experiences that sometimes I feel like I was in the “Forrest Gump” movie. I got another taste of that the other day when I started reading the stories about former Red Sox and present Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona and this being his last go-round season. Francona, of course, is expected to be a sure shot Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame inductee as soon as he is eligible, after leading the Red Sox to Carmine Cappuccio, a 1988 Malden High School grad and a three-time NCAA Division 2 First Team All-American, was drafted in the 9th Round of the 1992 Major League Baseball amateur draft by the Chicago White Sox, the highest draftee in Malden history to that point. He was assigned to the South Bend (Ind.) White Sox in Low Single A. (Courtesy Photo) were masquerading as hardworking major leaguers. As Cleveland’s manager from 2012 to this season, Francona led the Guardians to division titles in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2022, the AL pennant in 2016 and wild card appearances in 2013 and 2020. Anyways, does anyone realTerry “Tito” Francona’s firstever professional baseball manager’s post was skippering the South Bend White Sox in South Bend, Indiana. One of his first players was Malden High School legend Carmine Cappuccio. (Courtesy Photo) a pair of World Series Championships (2004, 2007 and almost a third!) and then 10 winning record seasons with the Cleveland Guardians. Through it all, Francona has battled personal problems (some of which unfairly were made public), lots of health issues and a shocking dismissal by the Sox after a 90-win 2011 season, when it was floated that he had supposedly “lost the clubhouse” due to some tough to deal with, high-paid louts who ize that Francona first coached in the Chicago White Sox minor league farm system for four seasons from 1992-1995 before he got his first Major League Baseball (MLB) manager’s post with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1997? That’s right. His very first manager’s post in the Minor Leagues was with the South Bend (Ind.) White Sox, Chicago’s Low Single A franchise. One of Terry “Tito” Francona’s top players on the first team he ever managed? Well, it was none other than Malden High School’s longest-playing professional baseball player in city history and perhaps the best overall athlete to wear a Malden uniform, Carmine Cappuccio. Cappuccio is the second-highest pro baseball draftee in Malden High history, one of five MLB picks in the Malden glory days of the 1990s. He was selected 260th overall in the 1992 MLB entry draft, the 24th pick in the 9th round by the Chicago White Sox. Cappuccio, a 1988 Malden High graduate and a threetime NCAA Division 2 First Team All-America selectee out of Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., signed for a $15,000 bonus and jumped on a plane to Chicago two days after to meet his coaching staff and join his team. I decided I, too, would fly to Chicago and try and see Carmine play in his first professional game, since he was the first pro guy I had ever coached, having been a varsity coach alongside Shawn Brickman at Malden High in the Salem Street Slugger’s three wildly successful years with Malden High baseball (1986-1988). Carmine did not get into the season opener, a home game for South Bend, who were listed as the “South Bend White Sox,” but actually went by the “South Bend Silver Sox.” But there he was in Game 2, starting in right field in his first-ever professional baseball game, and I was sitting there about 20 rows from the field in South Bend, Indiana, also home of that little Catholic school next door to the baseball park. What was that name? Oh yeah, Notre Dame! What a thrill it was to see this 22-year-old kid from Malden getting his first professional swings! Carmine grounded out his first at bat, pulling the ball sharply between the first and second baseman. Second baseman made a pretty good play on the ball. Second at bat? Bingo! Carmine hammered a ball in the gap in right center and it looked like a sure double, but the centerfielder tracked it down and held him to a single. Carmine did take a wide turn, but he did not take the bait as the outfielder fired a seed to second base. He got lifted for a pinch hitter in the later innings as they used a ton of guys in the game. That’s all right, I got to see his first professional game and his very first professional base hit! Awesome! I waited for him after the game and who knew? It happened. FRANCONA TODAY: Terry Francona is expected to announce his retirement after 10 seasons with the Cleveland Guardians. (Courtesy Photo) Carmine actually took a fairly long time to come out afterward and, wouldn’t you know, he was walking out and chatting with his manager at the door, none other than Terry Francona! Carmine saw me standing there and waved me over. “Hey Skip,” Carmine says to the future Hall of Famer, “This is Frek, my high school coach; he came out to see me play this weekend.” “Nice to meet you, Frek!” Carmine’s soon to be very famous manager said. “We got us a gone one here, he’s got a good eye and great bat. We’re lucky to have him!” Of course, Carmine was beaming – and so was I – two Malden guys who had no idea we were in the presence of astounding, future greatness: a man who would transform two franchises into bona fide “super”-winners, with two World Series titles in Boston, no less. I knew right away Carmine was in good hands, and I had a great flight back to Logan two days after that. Carmine would go on to play professional baseball at various levels and in two different countries for the next 11 years, longer than anyone – ever – in Malden High history. Francona, well, he went on and did Hall of Fame level deeds. Good luck in anything you do, and anyplace you go, Tito Francona! That one night in South Bend 1992, you made Malden High’s best-ever hitter and his high school coach feel like a million bucks! Jake Willcox, a senior captain and quarterback of the Brown University football team, was named Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week by the Ivy League and the Gold Helmet Award Winner by the New England College Football Writers for his efforts in a 29-25 win over Bryant on September 16.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 6, 2023 Page 15 **** What a great start for Saugus High Football, as the Sachems roll out to 3-0 mark at Serino Stadium Christie Serino is loving this, all of it! The most celebrated athlete in Saugus history was not only the best hockey and baseball player to ever grace the halls of Saugus High – he was also the best football player. We lost him way too soon in 2012, but one of the best moves the town of Saugus ever did was naming the glistening new football stadium in his honor when it opened two years ago. You see, Christie Serino was all about lots of things, most of them having to do with making his players’ lives better. But he was also about this: winning!! That is why he is looking down on the stadium which bears his name and loving the fact that his Saugus High football team is off to its best start in decades: a perfect 3-0 with more winnable games coming down the pipe in their schedule. Dare we even say it? Let’s! Are playoffs in the cards around the bend? Why not start the conversation. Five or six wins will get the Sachems there. That’s definitely something that might be ahead, the way they’re playing under Coach Cummings and Coach “Blue.” Why not? This year’s Sachems are definitely feeling the “Why not us?” vibe, and Coach Serino, somewhere, somehow is coming along for the ride with them this year. Get out and root for these Sachems tonight against Swampscott at Serino Stadium. Kickoff is at 7:00 p.m. and there’s a lot of homegrown fun to be had! **** Revere and Malden joining forces again in second cooperative team: Varsity Golf; Malden freshman Cronin gets big props for sportsmanship They’ve been together for years in Boys Ice Hockey. Now they are partners in Varsity Golf. The Malden High and Revere High golf teams have merged and the result has been a bunch of early-season wins. The team’s #1 golfer, junior Chris Macdonald, had been a leader in most of the matches, winning the last four holes of his match against Medford to roar back with a key individual win of the eventual team win. Macdonald is also a key member of the Malden High varsity baseball team in the spring. This past Sunday, he threw five innings of one-hit, zero earned run baseball off the mound for Malden in a Fall Baseball League. Good stuff! Top golfers on the coop team from Revere High are Jonathan Wells, Ollie Svendsen and Matt LaCroix. Freshman from Malden High Tommy Cronin got some high marks for sportsmanship from the team’s coaches when it was learned he pointed out an error in the scorecard which gave him an extra point which would have put him over the top for a key individual win and, possibly, a team win. But the error ended giving Cronin and Malden neither. **** Everett resident Jake Willcox named Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week & Gold Helmet Award Winner After helping lead the Brown football team to a last-minute win at Bryant in the September 16 season opener, Brown senior quarterback and captain Jake Willcox, an Everett resident, was named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week, the league announced on Monday. In addition, he was also one of four Ivy League players (the only offensive player) to be named to the Honor Roll for the FedEx Ground FCS National Awards. This follows his being named a Gold Helmet recipient on Sunday by the New England Football Writers Association. Willcox is a former Everett High and Milton Academy star quarterback. He led Everett to a perfect 11-0 record and Super Bowl Championship in 2017. He transferred to Milton Academy for his 2018 and 2019 seasons. Willcox helped power Brown to 428 yards of total offense in a wild, 29-25, season-opening win at Bryant. He finished 36-for-49 for a career-high 357 yards, and tied his career-high with three touchdown passes. It marks the third time in his career he has thrown for three touchdowns. Trailing by three with just under a minute to go, he went 4-for-6 for 76 yards on Brown’s touchdown drive, completing a 30-yard pass to Graham Walker to move the ball to the fouryard line, and then connected with Dillon Golden one play later for a four-yard game-winning strike with 13 seconds left. Earlier in the game, he put Brown on top, 13-0, in the second quarter by scrambling around and finding Wes Rockett for a three-yard touchdown pass. A lot of Everett and Malden residents were on hand to watch Willcox in person this past weekend in another wild game, a 34-31 loss by Brown, in a night game at venerable Harvard Stadium in Cambridge. The 6-2, 195 Willcox had another huge game, connecting on 36-of-52 passes for 364 yards and 1 TD. His favorite target, Wes Rockett, had 9 receptions for 147 yards. MBTA Announces East Boston, Winthrop, and Lynn Ferry Service Will Be Extended This Fall East Boston and Winthrop ferries are extended until November 30, and Lynn ferries are extended to October 31. B OSTON – Due to popular demand, the MBTA today announced that East Boston, Winthrop, and Lynn ferry services will be extended through the fall. East Boston and Winthrop ferries are extended until November 30 and Lynn ferries are extended to October 31. Ferry service schedules are available at mbta. com/ferry. “This summer we were able to expand our water transportation network and the public response has been so positive that we have decided to now extend these ferry services into October and November,” said MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng. “Safe and reliable multi modal transportation including water transportation is a priority. I’m proud that the MBTA team can continue to offer this to the public.” The East Boston ferry operates on weekdays and weekends beLEAGUE | FROM PAGE 13 Malden, Somerville, Medford, Chelsea and Lynn Classical. Conefrey stressed the alignments were for playoff games and postseason considerations only, and would affect nothing as to GBL league play. The only GBL team that does not play a full league slate is Chelsea, which is allowed to pick the teams it wishes to play from the GBL – this year selecting Medford and Somerville only. “We are hoping to qualify for the postseason for the first time since 2015 this year and then compete for the title in our new division,” Conefrey said. **** Revere High Boys Soccer Team just one game out of first-place in GBL standings; Everett boys close to top as well Revere High Boys Soccer is just one game and three goals out of first place in the Greater Boston League race. Somerville sits atop the list at 5-1-1 in league play, while Revere is right behind at 5-2-1 in the league. Everett is the only team to have beaten Somerville this season – 2-1 in the season opener. Revere, which tied Somerville, 1-1, in their only meeting on Tuesday this week, put the Patriots right in the mix for the GBL crown. Everett, at 4-3-1 GBL, is right there for the league top spot as well. Everett has a split with Somerville, and a big one on tween East Boston at Lewis Mall Wharf and the downtown Boston area at Long Wharf (North). A one-way fare on the East Boston ferry is $2.40 (or $1.10 for Reduced Fare riders), which is the same as taking the subway. Tickets can be purchased on the mTicket app. Printed LinkPasses, Commuter Rail Zone passes, and M7s are also accepted. M7 cards, or M7s, are MBTA Student CharlieCards that are pre-loaded with monthly passes for the school year for middle and high schoolers. East Boston ferry service is funded through the Commonwealth. The Winthrop ferry operates on weekdays between Winthrop Landing, Quincy, and the downtown Boston area at Central Wharf (South). A one-way fare on the Winthrop ferry is $6.50. Tickets can be purchased on the mTicket app or with cash. Printits list is a home game with Revere on Thursday, October 12 at 4:15 p.m. Revere has a game to make up with Somerville before the season ends, a game which very well could decide this year’s GBL Boys Soccer Championship. All four top GBLers – Somerville, Revere, Medford (4-3-1 GBL also) and Everett – appear to be headed to postseason play at this point.

Mike Sanristil, who played for five years in the Malden Pop Warner program and attended Malden Public Schools for eight years, before changing course and heading to Everett High for his high school career, is a fifthyear Wolverine and team captain for the University of Michigan. Already named a Big 10 “Defensive Player of the Week” for returning a Pick-6 interception in a Michigan win over Rutgers, Sanristil is projected to be at least a 6th round pick in the 2024 NFL draft. If so, he would be the second Malden Pop Warner star and Malden resident to become an NFL pick in the past three years, joining present Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely in that elite group. Likely played ed LinkPasses, Commuter Rail Zone passes, and M7s are also accepted. The Lynn Ferry operates on weekdays between the Blossom Street Pier and the downtown Boston area at Long Wharf (North). A one-way fare on the Lynn Ferry is currently $7.

Following is an excerpt from a writeup in Sports Illustrated on Sanristil’s decision to return to Ann Arbor before the season. “The opportunity to spend another year in Ann Arbor, to continue his education at a worldclass university, to continue building on the bonds he’s created with his teammates and his coaches, and ultimately the opportunity to win a national championship - all compelling reasons for a return to Michigan. “From wide receiver to defensive back, Michigan’s Mike Sainristil has certainly made his mark on the football program in Ann Arbor. After putting his name on the map as a solid defender in 2022, Sainristil had a decision to make - enter his name in the NFL draft, or return to Michigan for a fifth season. “After much thought and careful consideration, Sainristil chose Michigan once again.” “Year after year, Ann Arbor is always ranked top-three as a college town,” Sainrstil said in a recent interview. “The people here are great, you walk around and everyone is nice to you. Ann Arbor is home to me. “I love my teammates, coach Harbaugh - my football Dad - was giving me the opportunity to leave, I said, ‘no dad, I want to stay home.’”

LEGISLATURE APPROVES TAX RELIEF PACKAGE (H 4104) House 155-1, Senate 381, approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey the conference committee version of a tax relief package. It was drafted as a compromise to the different versions approved by the House and Senate. Supporters say this will provide $561.3 million in tax relief in fiscal year 2024 and $1.02 billion per year in subsequent years. Provisions include increasing the rental deduction cap from $3,000 to $4,000; reducing the estate tax for all taxpayers and eliminating the tax for all estates under $2 million by allowing a uniform credit of $99,600; increasing the refundable tax credit for a dependent child, disabled adult or senior from $180 to $310 per dependent in taxable year 2023, and then to $440 in subsequent years while eliminating the child/dependent cap; doubling the refundable senior circuit breaker tax credit from $1,200 to $2,400; increasing the refundable Earned Income Tax Credit from 30 percent to 40 percent of the federal credit; and reducing the short-term capital gains tax rate from 12 percent to 8.5 percent. Other provisions double the lead paint tax credit to $3,000 for full abatement and $1,000 for partial abatement; ensure that employer student loan payments are not treated as taxable compensation; make public transit fares, as well as ferry and regional transit passes and bike commuter expenses, eligible for the commuter expense tax deduction; increase from $1,500 to $2,000 the maximum that municipalities may pay seniors to do volunteer work to reduce their property taxes; raise the annual authorization for the low income housing tax credit from $40 million to $60 million; and allow cities and towns to adopt a local property tax exemption for affordable real estate that is rente “This is the most significant tax relief package in a generation,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “This legislation is going to put real dollars into the pockets of the people who need it most, including parents, seniors, young people and middle class families who are struggling to keep up with rising costs. This bill includes a historic expansion of housing programs that will ignite affordable housing development and ease the housing crunch, as well as significant relief for families with young children. It will also make Massachusetts a more competitive place to live and work and encourages businesses to continue investing in our region.” “This tax relief package strikes the critically important balance of providing permanent financial relief to residents and businesses across Massachusetts, without compromising the longterm financial security of the commonwealth,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “I’m confident that this tax reform legislation will help to make Massachusetts more affordable for all residents, while also helping to make the commonwealth more competitive with other states.” “Back in April, I stood at the rostrum for about 13 minutes and expressed a mix of support for the many elements of this bill that will help working families and people experiencing poverty — while at the same time criticizing the elements of this bill that will benefit large corporations and the super-rich,” said Rep. Mike Connolly (D-Cambridge), the only House member to vote against the package. “From my vantage point, this bill was significantly improved through the conference committee process, and there are several elements of the bill I enthusiastically support,” continued Connolly. “And yet, as I stand here today, I still cannot bring myself to support the total price tag of $1.1 billion once fully implemented. Not after we just spent a decade working to pass the Fair Share Amendment to gain desperately needed new revenue … A lot more needs to be done, including bigger public investments in programs, services and infrastructure — investments that could be significantly constrained by the overall cost of today’s tax cut bill.” The measure also includes two provisions which the Mass Fiscal Alliance says will result in tax hikes. One would require Massachusetts married couples who file income tax returns jointly at the federal level to do the same at the state level. The other changes the system under Chapter 62F that requires that annual tax revenue above a certain amount collected by the state go back to the taxpayers. Under current law, the money is returned to taxpayers based on what he or she earned and paid in taxes.The new tax package changed that and provides that each taxpayer will receive a flat rate refund, unrelatedto what they earned or paid in taxes. “Never before have so many waited so long for so little,” said Paul Craney, a spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance.“Leave it up to two career politicians to not only deliver a two-year late tax relief package while almost every other state saw immediate relief but include tax hikes in their relief package. The speaker and Senate president’s proposal includes a marriage penalty, applying the new income surtax to married couples who have a combined income of over a million dollars.” Craney further explained that changing how Chapter 62F surplus money is distributed to taxpayers actually hijacks the system and turns it into a socialist wealth redistribution scheme.

Republicans supported rule suspension while Democrats opposed it. Supporters of rule suspension said Senate rules allow only a Yes or No vote on the tax package. They argued there are some flaws in the bill and that rule suspension is the only way to allow amendments to be proposed. Opponents of rule suspension said that suspending the rule would result in hundreds of amendments being proposed to the package and lead to starting tax relief debate all over again. They noted that both Republican members of the conference committee signed off on the bill. ( A “Yes” vote is for rule suspension to allow amendments. A “No” vote is against rule suspension.) Sen.

Other provisions index the minimum wage to inflation beginning in January 2028; increase the minimum wage for tipped workers from $6.75 to $12 by 2027 and then set it at 60 percent of the full minimum wage in future years. “Increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour has had a tremendously positive impact on hundreds of thousands of working individuals and families in the commonwealth who have seen their take-home pay increase and improve their standard of living,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester). “However, due to high inflation, the buying power of $15 has been significantly eroded, and it is estimated by the MIT Living Wage Calculator that a single person living in the Greater Boston area would need to earn more than $22 per hour just to cover the basic necessities of life --and far more to support a family. This is why we need to start phasing in another increase to the minimum wage in Massachusetts." “We know that working families and individuals are under enormous financial stress with rising inflation and increased costs of housing and living,” said House sponsor Rep. Tram Nguyen (D-Andover). ”As workers are struggling to meet their basic needs and provide for their families, I am glad to [file] this bill to provide fair wages in our commonwealth.” UNBIASED SUMMARIES IN CHILD REMOVAL CASES (H 182) - The Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities held a hearing on a proposal that would require the Department of Children and Families (DCF), when considering a child’s removal from his or her family, to establish a case review team that produces summaries that do not include demographic and identifying information such as gender, race, ethnicity, disability, geographic location and socioeconomic status. Sponsor Rep. Joan Meschino (D-Hull) said the bill is designed to prevent discrimination in the child removal processes. “The goal is for DCF to provide a bias-free summary of a child's situation that takes into account safety and risk factors, the family’s strengths and opportunities for supportive interventions before removing a child from their home,” said Meschino. ALLOW CITIES AND TOWNS TO IMPOSE A NEW 2 PERCENT ALCOHOL TAX (S 1773) – The Revenue Committee held a hearing on a bill that would allow cities and towns to impose a local sales tax of up to two percent on alcoholic beverages sold at retail, bars or at restaurants. Municipalities that choose to impose the local tax would be required to use the revenue generated for substance abuse prevention andfor protecting the public health. "There is tremendous unmet need for substance use disorder treatment in every community in Massachusetts," said Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). "This bill would enable interested cities and towns to expand their addiction and public health programming to meet that need." $4 MILLION FOR SECURITY AT FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS - The Healey administration announced that more than $4 million in federal funds have been awarded to address priority security needs at faith-based and community service organizations at heightened risk of a hate crime or terror attack in the Bay State. “Communities rely on nonprofit and faith-based organizations for essential social services, spiritual support and guidance,” said Gov. Healey. “Our administration is deeply committed to ensuring these vital organizations have the tools and resources needed to create safe, inclusive and protected environments. These federal funds provide critical support to our nonprofit and faith communities while strengthening Massachusetts’ ability to uphold our values and celebrate our diversity.” $5.2 MILLION FOR RECYCLING, COMPOSTING AND WASTE REDUCTION - The Healey Administration announced nearly $5.2 million in grant funding to 283 municipalities to bolster their recycling, composting and waste reduction programs. “Residents partner with their communities to help protect the environment by recycling and reusing as much as possible,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “This important funding will help municipalities implement innovative programs and policies that are proven to maximize reuse, recycling and waste reduction.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “The Green Communities program helps our cities and towns make important investments at the local level to achieve their own climate goals and lower carbon emissions. This moves us forward on our clean energy path and lessens our reliance on volatile fossil fuels, lowering costs and risks for our communities and their residents and businesses.” --- Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper announcing the awarding of $3.3 million in Green Communities competitive grants to 27 municipalities across Massachusetts to fund clean energy projects. “We have taken meaningful strides in recent years to increase the sustainability and resilience of our state’s public transit system. From securing grants to fund environmental initiatives to reducing emissions through fleet electrification, the MBTA is firmly committed to building a greener, more climate-ready transit network.” --- MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng announcing the establishment of a new Climate and Resiliency Policy and Planning team as part of the Policy and Strategic Planning Division that will be tasked with decreasing the T’s and the commonwealth’s environmental footprint and increasing the resilience of the MBTA system. “The data is clear – based on state testing results we know there is lead in most of the taps tested at schools and childcare centers across the state and we know children are the most impacted from exposure to lead. We need policies that get the lead out of faucets and fountains in our schools and pre-schools.” --- Deirdre Cummings, MASSPIRG legislative director state urging lawmakers to pass a bill to get the lead out of drinking water at Massachusetts schools and childcare centers. "I was proud to file and testify in support of … [a bill] preventing false confessions, a necessary piece of legislation to prevent law enforcement from knowingly or recklessly engaging in deception in order to coerce a confession.

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate 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 latenight sessions.

The 2023 Walk for Living will OUT OF STATE PROPERTY AND THE MASS ESTATE TAX estate tax return based upon the 1999 Revision date. We, as preparers, have to prepare the current Massachusetts estate tax return and the federal estate tax return, Form 706, as it existed back in 1999. The good news is that an M assachusetts General Laws Chapter 65C, Section 1(f) specifically exempts from the Massachusetts estate tax tangible personal property and real estate located outside of Massachusetts. The Commonwealth of Mass directs taxpayers to calculate the federal gross estate for estate tax purposes and then provides for a reduction of out of state tangible personal property and out of state real estate. Under the current proposed tax relief package that is now on Governor Healey’s desk (that she has until October 8, 2023 to sign), the estate tax exemption will be increased to $2,000,000. If a taxpayer dies with a $2,000,000 taxable estate, the $2,000,000 is reduced by $60,000 in order to arrive at the adjusted taxable estate, or $1,940,000. The Table B Computation of Maximum Credit for State Death Taxes results in a credit of $99,600. This table is utilized by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to determine the estate tax due when someone dies in Massachusetts. Under the old federal estate tax law, the IRS allowed a credit for state death taxes on the federal estate tax return. The federal government no longer allows for this tax credit. Massachusetts, however, actually uses that table to determine the Massachusetts estate tax due. The Massachusetts estate tax return actually piggy backs the prior Federal estate of $2.5million would only result in $44,000 in Massachusetts estate taxes. Compare this with the current estate tax provision in Massachusetts which would result in an estate tax of $143,600. Quite a big difference. This is due to the $99,600 credit against the Massachusetts estate tax based upon the first $2million of the gross estate being exempt from the estate tax. Only the estate value over $2million is actually subject to tax. The Dassori v. Commissioner of Revenue 2016 decision involved a case of first impression. The probate court judge decided the case against the Commonwealth of Massachusetts holding that a real estate investment in Paris, France was not subject to the Massachusetts estate tax. The real estate in question was held in a vehicle similar to a nominee realty trust utilized by real estate attorneys in Massachusetts. The Commonwealth tried to argue that the real estate investment was intangible personal property due to the nature of the taxpayer’s interest in the entity that actually held title to the real estate. The probate judge considered the investment to be real estate based upon Massachusetts law and, as such, the real estate could not be subject to estate tax by Massachusetts. Otherwise, that would represent a due process violation under the 14th amendment to the Constitution. Joseph D.

Page 20 avy n v y y Dear Just Turned, There are actually three diff erent types of vaccines seniors should consider getting this fall to protect against a repeat of last winter’s “tripledemic” of respiratory illnesses, which included fl u, RSV and coronavirus. Here’s a rundown of the diff erent vaccines the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending and how they are covered by Medicare. Senior-Specifi c Flu Shots For people age 65 and older, there are three fl u vaccines (you only need one) that the CDC recommends over traditional fl u shots. These FDA-approved vaccines provide extra protection beyond what a standard fl u shot does, which is important for older adults who have weaker immune defenses and have a greater risk of developing dangerous fl u complications compared with younger, healthy adults. The three senior-specifi c options include the: • Fluzone High-Dose Quadrivalent vaccine, which contains four times the amount of antigen as a regular fl u shot does, creating a stronger immune response for better protection. • Fluad Quadrivalent vaccine, which contains an added ingredient called adjuvant MF59 that also helps create a stronger immune response. • FluBlok Quadrivalent vaccine, is a recombinant protein (egg-free) fl u vaccine that contains three times the amount of antigen as compared with a regular fl u shot. There isn’t enough evidence yet to indicate whether one of these three vaccines provides superior protection over the other two for seniors. As for side eff ects, you should know that the Fluzone High-Dose and Fluad vaccines can cause more of the mild side eff ects that can occur with a standard-dose fl u shot, like pain or tenderness where you got the shot, muscle aches, headache or fatigue. While the side eff ects of Flublok tend to be a little less frequent. All fl u vaccines are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B as long as your doctor, health clinic or pharmacy agrees not to charge you more than Medicare pays. New RSV Vaccines Anyone age 60 and older, especially if you have any heart or lung conditions, diabetes, kidney or liver disorders that make you vulnerable to the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) should consider getting one of the new FDA approved RSV vaccines (either Arexvy or Abrysvo). These vaccines, recommended by the CDC, will help protect older and immunocompromised adults from respiratory illness, which is responsible for 6,000 to 10,000 deaths and at least 60,000 hospitalizations each year in seniors 65 and older. The new RSV vaccines are covered by Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plans. Updated Covid Booster If you haven’t had a Covid-19 booster shot lately, you should consider getting one this fall. Even though the Covid public health emergency has ended and the number of cases has gone way down, it has been surging in recent months causing an increase in hospitalizations, especially among the elderly. The updated Covid vaccine targets the XBB omicron subvariants that are some of the most dominate coronavirus variants circulating in the U.S. It will also provide protection against the EG.5 variant (Eris), which is closely related to the XBB. Covid booster shots are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B. When and Where Most health offi cials agree that it’s safe to receive the fl u and Covid booster at the same time. But because the RSV vaccines are new this year, many doctors are recommending a two-week window between an RSV shot and the fl u and/or the COVID shots. You can fi nd all three vaccines at most pharmacies, medical clinics and health departments, or you can do a search at Vaccines.gov. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

I’m particularly pleased that an important provision that I advocated for – to close a loophole in the new millionaire’s tax that voters approved last November – was also included in the fi nal bill.” “I am pleased to see the tax relief package pass both the House and Senate. This legislation will not only provide much-needed financial relief to our residents and businesses, it will also ensure that our great Commonwealth remains competitive and aff ordable in the future,” said Representative Ultrino. “With this, I applaud the hard work and diligent eff orts of Speaker Mariano, the Malden Delegation, and my colleagues in the House and Senate.” “With a primary focus on affordability and equity, this bill is an important step in ensuring Massachusetts is an aff ordable place to live for all,” said Representative Donato. “Additionally, I am proud of my colleagues for overwhelmingly passing this essential piece of legislation.” “I was pleased to join the full Legislature in passing this comprehensive tax reform package to make the Commonwealth more aff ordable for its residents and more economically competitive nationally by providing critical relief to seniors, families, renters, and businesses,” said Representative Lipper-Garabedian. “Among the many important updates to our tax code, I am enthused to see the inclusion of a signifi cant number of housing-related reforms addressing supply and aff ordability, including the increased rental tax credit, a piece of legislation I have fi led and championed since joining the Legislature in 2020.” Among other provisions, this tax relief bill: • Increases the child and dependent tax credit from $180 to $310 in taxable year 2023, and then to $440 in taxable year 2024 and beyond, while eliminating the current cap on children/dependents, benefi tting more than 565,000 families and providing the most generous universal child and dependent tax credit in the country • Increases the earned income tax credit from 30% to 40% of the federal credit • Doubles the maximum annual senior circuit breaker credit from $1,200 to $2,400 • Increases the cap on the rental deduction from $3,000 to $4,000 • Raises the estate tax threshold from $1 million to $2 million and establishes a uniform credit of $99,600 in order to eliminate the current cliff eff ect • Increases the Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP) statewide cap from $10 million to $57 million once, and then to $30 million annually, which will create an estimated 12,500 new homes in Gateway Cities • Raises the annual low-income housing tax credit authorization cap from $40 million to $60 million, providing increased funding for new aff ordable housing units The bill also includes a requirement that married couples who fi le a joint tax return with the federal government also fi le a joint state tax return. This provision – which aligns Massachusetts with many other states – was championed by Senator Lewis and is intended to close a tax avoidance loophole in the new millionaire’s tax that was approved by voters last November. A few additional key tax changes: • Lead paint abatement: Doubles the credit to $3,000 for full abatement and $1,000 for partial abatement, to support families with older homes. • Student loan repayment exemption: Ensures that employer student loan payments are not treated as taxable compensation. • Commuter transit benefi ts: Makes public transit fares, as well as ferry and regional transit passes and bike commuter expenses, eligible for the commuter expense tax deduction. • Senior property tax volunteer program: Increases from $1,500 to $2,000 the maximum that municipalities may allow for certain seniors to reduce their property tax by participating in the senior work-off programs.
