A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is a compact medical alert device worn by a consumer as a bracelet or pendant that, when the button is pushed, connects the consumer with assistance in the instance of a fall, medical issue, fi re or other emergency. There is also a PERS unit that must be placed in the home that connects that consumer to the emergency response center. A Shown from left to right are Lieutenant Eric J. Provitola, Captain Timothy K.

One in four Americans aged 65 and over falls each year, according to the National Council on Aging. Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall; every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal trauma-related hospital and nursing home admissions among older adults. There’s no magic wand for completely preventing falls, so it’s crucial to provide immediate help when a fall does occur. PERS can off er tremendous peace of mind for elders wanting to stay living safely in the community. Vincenza Joy, 97, of Revere, recently described the invaluable benefi ts of having a PERS in the home: “I am on my own a lot so wearing my PERS bracelet makes me feel safe and secure. I value my independence and want to remain living at home. I highly recommend these systems for other seniors.” To learn more about PERS, please contact MVES at 781324-7705.
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 8, 2021 Page 3 Mystic Valley Regional Charter School A History of Partnering with the City of Malden Maplewood School and Fire Station u In 2003, the City of Malden had a large budget shortfall entering Fiscal Year 2004 and was faced with potentially laying off approximately 40 employees. The Mayor of Malden called Mystic Valley Regional Charter School’s Board of Trustees and asked if the school would be willing to purchase the Maplewood School, expressing the need to fill a shortfall of over $2 million. u Mystic Valley negotiated with the city and agreed to pay $2.4 million, which was significantly more than the appraised value and the value of recent comparable properties sold by the city. In exchange for paying more than the appraised value and allowing the Malden Fire Department to remain in the building under a two year lease at no cost, which required the city to maintain the interior space used by the fire station, Mystic Valley received a long term agreement to use field space at South Broadway Park for an hour and a half each day. The city also agreed to permit girls softball at other fields. u The Malden City Council voted 11-0 to approve the acquisition, in large part to save employee jobs. To put the acquisition of the buildings into perspective, the citizens of Malden should understand: u In the previous three years, the City of Malden sold both the former Belmont and Glenwood Schools to developers, which were no longer functioning as schools when the city’s five new K-8 schools opened (much like the case with the former Maplewood School). Those schools were sold for less than $500,000 each. u In the previous five years, the city had also sold two fire stations, the Mountain Ave. Station and the Ashland Street Station. Both were sold for less than $300,000 each. u Combined, all four comparable buildings were sold for less than $1.6 million dollars, compared to the $2.4 million the city received from MVRCS for one school building and one fire station. u The city renewed the fire station lease in 2005 and 2008, but chose not to renew in the spring of 2011. In the six years prior to 2011, the lease cost never exceeded $3 per square foot. In fact, Mystic Valley offered to sell the fire station back to the city for $800,000, its approximate purchase price in 2003. The city never responded. u Mystic Valley renovated the fire station after 2011 to its historic look, based on a picture from 1903. In 2015, the Malden Historical Commission gave MVRCS a Preservation Award for the renovation. Present-day view of 4 Laurel Street, formerly fire station. Photograph of fire station circa 1903. Present-day view of 30 Laurel Street, formerly Maplewood School. We look forward to a time when we can continue to collaborate with the City of Malden in a mutually-beneficial manner

Lewis joins bipartisan vote to allow nonbinary gender option on driver’s licenses, birth certificates S Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order? Do you have an update Will, Health Care Proxy or Power of Attorney? If Not, Please Call for a Free Consultation. 14 Proctor Avenue, Revere (781) 284-5657 tate Senator Jason Lewis has been a longstanding advocate for ensuring that state records affirm a person’s gender identity. On September 23 he joined Massachusetts Senate colleagues to unanimously pass An Act relative to gender identity on Massachusetts identification, legislation which would allow a nonbinary option other than male or female on birth certificates and driver’s licenses. “Vital records are the primary documents that serve as guideposts to our lives: they announce a child’s birth, affirm our most sacred relationships and help get our affairs in order after we die,” said Lewis. “Thanks to the powerful and persuasive advocacy of transgender Massachusetts residents and their allies, the Senate has once again acted to ensure that important state documents can reflect and affirm the gender identity of every resident.” An Act relative to gender idenJason Lewis State Senator tity on Massachusetts identification would provide for a nonbinary option other than male or female on birth certificates and driver’s licenses. The bill also directs the state to begin the process of allowing a nonbinary option for all state forms and instances where a gender choice is required. Under the bill, the gender on birth records could be changed by an adult, an emancipated minor or the parent or guardian of a minor. The gender designations on a birth record could include “female”, “male” or “X” – which indicates that the person is another gender or an undesignated gender. No documentation beyond a self-attestation is required to make a change. The legislation also enables those who change the gender on their birth certificate to change the name on their birth certificate if they have already gone through the legal name change process. The bill provides three years to change the name on the birth certificate after the gender has been changed, or until the age of 21 for those who changed their gender designation before the age of 18. On September 27 the House of Representatives referred An Act relative to gender identity on Massachusetts identification to its committee on Ways and Means. ~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ Malden Needs a Climate Action Plan www.eight10barandgrille.com We Have Reopened for Dine-In and Outside Seating every day beginning at 4 PM Dear Editor, The climate crisis is an urgent isWE'RE OPEN! 8 Norwood Street, Everett (617) 387-9810 STAY SAFE! sue to address in our city because it affects every part of our community. This September we got a taste of what’s in store for Malden when Tropical Storm Ida swept through. Flooding and drainage problems closed roads and businesses. Most of the south half of Malden, from Edgeworth to the Revere line, is located close to sea level. The state climate projection maps show that a medium-force hurricane, or a few decades of rising ocean levels, could put huge swaths of the city under water. We need more green space to reduce the “heat island” effect from asphalt and pavement that drives up temperatures and affects air quality. And it’s often the least wealthy parts of our community that are the most at risk. The time for action is now! As a candidate for City Council At Large, I will focus on climate action and am proud to be endorsed by the Massachusetts Sierra Club. We need a climate action plan for Malden. While we’ve put some pieces in place, such as the 2017 Open Space and Recreation Plan and the more recent Municipal Vulnerability Plan study of natural disaster risks, we have not yet tied these together under a unified set of goals and strategies for our city. A climate action plan is our first, best line of defense against heat islands, air quality issues and worsening storms. Better strategy and coordination will also position us to apply for more grants at the state and federal level.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 8, 2021 Page 5 ~ Guest Commentary ~ Civic engagement and voting for incarcerated individuals By Middlesex Sheriff Peter Koutoujian E nsuring that any incarcerated individual who is eligible to vote has the ability to do so has been – and remains – a top priority for myself and the Middlesex Sheriff ’s Offi ce (MSO). I grew up watching my father – Waltham’s City Clerk – run elections in our hometown and assist colleagues in several other communities. As a fi rst generation American and son of Armenian refugees, his passion for civic engagement and voting made an indelible mark on me. That is why access to voting is foundational to my belief in public service and why I am proud of the multiple ways we have increased access to voting at the MSO. Through internal eff orts and external partnerships, the Middlesex Sheriff ’s Offi ce has placed a strong emphasis on the importance of civic engagement – providing those in our custody with ongoing opportunities to learn about the importance of voting and how to exercise their right to do so. During both the 2016 and 2018 election cycles the MSO actively engaged with the League of Women Voters (LWV) to conduct voter education drives, register new voters, and assist those interested in receiving absentee ballots. While the COVID-19 pandemic prevented LWV volunteers from visiting prior to the 2020 election, MSO staff worked directly with eligible incarcerated individuals to facilitate their ability to vote. In addition, the MSO has fully incorporated voter registration into our reentry programming. Our staff works diligently to ensure that returning citizens understand their voting rights and the value of civic engagement to a full and successful reentry into society. Since November 2019, we have helped 192 individuals register to vote as part of the reentry process. Many of those who registered did not know they would be eligible to vote upon their release and several were registering for the fi rst time in their lives. I look forward to continuing to work with members of the Legislature, the Secretary of the Commonwealth, local elections offi cials, and community partners to ensure all eligible individuals have the opportunity to cast ballots who wish to do so. I’VE GOT SOME GREAT NEWS! Today, I received word from the Malden Police Patrolmen that I have received their endorsement for my candidacy for Ward 7 City Councillor. I was speechless. Not something that is usually associated with Chris Simonelli. I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve spoken at length to constituents about the importance of Public Safety. It’s a core part of my campaign. Great neighborhoods start with safe neighborhoods. To get there requires a sincere partnership between the neighborhood, the police, and elected officials. This endorsement tells me the police know that as an elected official, I’ll respect the difficult job they perform daily, I’ll commit to open and honest communication, and I’ll work with them to solve problems. The Malden Police have typically not waded into local politics with endorsements. I recognize as they do that this year is different. We need to set a tone, TOGETHER. We need to show the neighborhood that working together always beats slogans and finger pointing. I know from my conversation with them that they are as committed as ever to this, and they know from me I have their back. ~ Elect ~
Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 8, 2021 Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday – 18th Annual Ryder Cup By Peter F. Levine T he 18th Annual U.S.A. vs. Euro Ryder Cup is in the books. It was a Team U.S.A. victory, 20½– 8½, over Team Euro up at Four Oaks in Dracut with Malden’s very own Tony Martino (the resident golf pro) the special twoday host! Team U.S.A. Malden guys included Jimmy Varsarkis, John Furlong, Mike Vona Sr. and Jr., Paul “PJ” Johnson, Stephen Lee, Steve Kouroyen and Captain Scott “Rutta” Rutledge. Team Euro Malden guys were Jason Munroe, Chet McCaskill, Marcus Stote and Anthony “The Barber” Howard, who are the founding fathers of this great tournament, by the way! Word trickled down to Malden that Jason (Munroe) spanked Furgie on Sunday. That is unconfi rmed as of this writing, though. This tradition is going on 20 years strong and includes some of the best guys Malden has to off er. I was told that Scott did a great job as usual keeping the event alive, so much so that Furgie has offi cially nominated Scotty for the Mt. Rushmore of Ryder Cup Captains. Well done, gentlemen. Photo bomb above by fake referee, Jason Munroe. I’ve always loved reading. At Beebe Jr. High it was sharing copies of Mad and Cracked Magazine with friends like Greg Participants of the 18th Annual Ryder Cup (Courtesy Photo) Lucey and John Crannell until they were dog-eared. In high school we graduated to Sports Illustrated (the swimsuit issue was always a highlight), Sport magazine (my July 1971 with Yaz on the cover asking readers the question “would you pay this man $100,000?” has been read until it cannot be read again) and Sporting News magazine (my July 1971 issue with Willie Mays on the cover is still in decent condition). After high school came Boston dailies like The Globe and the Herald. Boston was fortunate to have two papers both printing morning and evening editions. As I got older, it was on to alternative weeklies like the Boston Phoenix and The Real Paper. New York dailies were not as readily available as they are now, so on occasion I would travel to Harvard Square’s Out of Town News and pick up the New York Times or the New York Daily News or a copy of the Village Voice. Those were great days for print media. Closer to home we had the Malden Evening News and a few others. Some have stuck around like the Malden Advocate and various incarnations of the Observer; some have disappeared into our collective ozone like the Malden Sun-Times. I’ve always enjoyed the local perspectives of freelance contributors. Guys like (M.E.N. Editor) David Brickman, Bill Mini, Dan Connell, Barbara Tolstrup and John O’Brien – to name just a few. Which brings me to one of my favorites of all time, Donald Squires. Donald is but a distant memory to most Maldonians – passing away in 2015 at the ripe old age of 91. But he is remembered here. I never had the pleasure of actually knowing him personally, but I would see him around Malden Square either holding court at Schopell’s/Converse Restaurant or tooling around town for Lester and Peggy at Malden Trans. I looked forward to his writings each week. It was usually 750 words “about nothing” (to quote Jerry Seinfeld) but commentary we all enjoyed reading, nonetheless. The articles were not titled but were simply called “Curbside.” He often wrote of his interactions and conversations with old comrades who would MALDEN: TODAY | SEE PAGE 18 Monogram D4 Double siding Cedar impression half rounds Harvey Vinyl 63 Replacement Windows Custom Aluminum Trim work Windows & Doors Top quality Vinyl Siding! •Vinyl Siding •Carpentry Work •Decks •Roofing •Free Estimates •Replacement Windows •Fully Licensed •Fully Insured

MASK UP | FROM PAGE 1 son learning model, Malden Public Schools has adopted a mask mandate for all staff and most students (except the very youngest) in its preK-12 school system. A protective mask must be covering the nose and mouth for the entire school day, except when eating, drinking or during a prescribed “mask break.” Mastrangelo, who began his fourth full year at the helm, after taking over on an interim basis in the midst of the 2016-17 school year, said it has been gratifying to see how well students and staff have embraced the “mask up” policy and adhered to district protocols since Day One. “Let’s face it. No one of any age wants to wear a mask,” Mastrangelo said, “and these kids and our educators and support staff have been wearing masks for nearly two years now, due to the pandemic.” “But I have to say we are very pleased with how our students are handling the mask situation,” Mastrangelo said. “I have been able to tell them nearly every day, ‘Good job…keep it up… help keep yourself, your classmates and your families safe by keeping your masks up.” Mastrangelo added that it is sometimes a chore for him, his administrative team and the MHS educators to keep on reminding students to keep the masks “up” or positioned properly, but again, praised them for the manner in which they conduct themselves in conjunction with the district’s protocols. “We ask them once; they adjust their masks and follow our request. If they come to school without a mask, our staff greets them at the entrance doors with a fresh one. We have [masks] available all day for our students and staff in case the straps break or they get soiled. The MHS approach has been successful out of the gate, since just a handful of COVID-19 “positive” cases have been reported at Malden High for the nearly 1,800 students there since school opened on Sept. 1 and not many more districtwide, either. “What we are doing is working,” Mastrangelo said. “We will stay vigilant and our students are cooperating.” The MHS principal also said it is too early to tell whether the Malden Public Schools would be able to be in the realm of reconsidering its mask mandate using the edict of the Mass. Department of Secondary and Elementary Education (DESE) of possibly removing the mask mandate if a school’s population of students and staff rises above the 80% vaccinated rate. THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 8, 2021 CLIMATE | FROM PAGE 4 coordinate city action in three areas: natural green space, energy efficiency, and climate-focused infrastructure. First, we need to preserve our precious parks and green space, take care of our beautiful old trees and plant new ones, and look for opportunities for new natural parks and habitats like the Malden Hospital site. Second, energy efficiency projects could include more electric car charging stations, improved city-wide home energy programs, aggregate renewable energy purchasing, energy usage goals for city facilities, and energy efficient building codes. Third, climate-focused infrastructure would invest in access to public transit, and in resilience projects to protect our community from climate disasters. The proposed Malden River Works Park at the Department Public Works yard should be a high priority, and is a great example of what we can do. Finally, all three areas need to be tied together with dedicated community and staff leadership, across the current work of the Conservation Commission and the revamped Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Commission.

Lewis helps lead Senate action to fight child hunger, school meal shaming O n September 23, 2021, State Senator Jason Lewis joined a vote in the Massachusetts Senate in support of An Act to promote student nutrition, which seeks to ensure that more children in Massachusetts have access to free and nutritious school meals. “We all understand that a hungry student is not ready to be a successful student, and so we need to do all that we can to ensure that kids have consistent access to healthy school meals without the burdens of meal debt or social stigma,” said Lewis. “As the Commonwealth continues to strive for an excellent and equitable educational experience for every child, regardless of their ZIP code or family income, this is another important step along the road to closing opportunity and achievement gaps in our public schools.” An Act to promote student nutrition requires schools and districts where most students are low-income to enroll in federal programs – known as the Community Eligibility Provision and Provision 2 – that enable them to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students. In addition to providing universal meals, these programs reduce administrative burdens for schools. The legislation minimizes families’ meal debt by requiring school districts to maximize federal reimbursement revenues and directing the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to assist them in doing so. When students do accrue meal debt, it requires school districts to determine whether they are eligible for free- or reduced-price meals. An Act to promote student nutrition also prohibits schools from targeting students who carry meal-related debt with punitive practices, such as withholding report cards and transcripts, preventing students from graduating or walking at graduation, barring students from participating in no-fee extracurricular events like field trips, or throwing a child’s hot meal away and replacing it with an inferior meal.

The Malden City Council would ultimately have to vote on the financing and it would require a two-thirds majority vote. The $36 million assessment to the city of Malden, which sends the most students to Northeast Vocational of the 12 communities (over 200), would be amortized at $1.2 million per year over 30 years. It would be the highest assessment of the 12 communities. Officials from Northeast Vocational are scheduled to appear at a Malden City Council Committee of the Whole meeting next Tuesday, October 12 at 7:00 p.m. to formally request the financing and present an overview of the project. Supt. DiBarri is expected to appear at Tuesday's meeting and Councilors will be able to ask questions about the project.

One thing's for sure, the development of the Malden Hospital site is a key issue in the Ward 3 Council race between the incumbent Linehan and her challenger, Glen Curtis, a Ward 3 resident and first-time candidate. In last week's debate, Curtis declared the Malden Hospital development issue the #1 reason he was running for office as Ward 3 Councillor. "This is what I am all about and the reason I am running," Curtis said, referring to the development of the Malden Hospital site. "I live one street away from (Malden Hospital) and I look at it when I wake up in the morning and go to work and again when I come home at night." Linehan said she has been monitoring and working consistently in the Malden Hospital development issue even before she was elected as Councillor. "This is a top priority for me and for my constituents," Councillor Linehan said. "This is a central issue in Ward 3."

Having strong roots in the Malden community as the daughter of former Mayor of Malden Thomas Fallon and Janice Fallon, Fallon partnered with Rev. Frank Silva at the Immaculate Conception Parish to begin off ering Support Groups to survivors. By year-end 1996, Fallon partnered with Rev. Paul Garrity of St. Mary’s Parish in Lynn for the same purpose; and PTH gained the help of 75 new volunteers. By 1998, PTH partnered with former Everett Mayor David Ragucci and Everett Police Chief James Rogers to create the fi rst law enforcement program of its kind in the Commonwealth whereby a civilian team worked onsite at a police department to provide direct care services to crime victims. This eff ort, known as EVAPorate Violence, has received national acclaim under the leadership of Everett Police Chief Steven Mazzie, including having been featured on the national talk show, The Montel Williams Show, and awarded by the AVON Hello Tomorrow Fund. Last month, Fallon received the Purple Ribbon – Survivor of the Year Award from Theresa's Fund. As a survivor of violent crime, Fallon has dedicated her life to helping others struggling through domestic violence. “The experience back in 1995 was definitely life-changing,” said Fallon. “Walking through the criminal justice system and meeting other survivors in the courts, I felt much gratitude – not just to have survived the attack but to have the support of my family, friends and others. Most of the people whom we help at PTH do not have builtin support systems. So, it is an absolute privilege to be doing the work that we do as Victim Advocates, because what it comes down to is being that support person for someone and reminding them of their own strengths.” One of 11 children, Fallon’s family members have long volunteered at PTH.

Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 8, 2021 Malden High football earns first-year Coach Exilhomme a milestone win By Nick Toscani M aybe someone tipped him off. “Hey Sam, as long as ‘Two for One’ special?” That was all fine with Malden High senior slotback/linebacker Sam Solorzano, who scored nearly all the points for the Golden Tornadoes squad in a 14-12 victory over Somerville which went right down to the wire at Macdonald Stadium Friday night. The win was a milestone first in the career of Malden Head Coach Witche Exilhomme, who took the helm over the summer for the first time. Coach Exilhomme is a 2012 Malden you’re out there, why not try the PARTNERSHIP AND S CORPORATION COST BASIS RULES Generally speaking, contribuT Cost basis affects the tax consequences of many transactions to partners and S Corporation shareholders. Many businesses are conducted as partnerships or S Corporations. The function of a partner’s or shareholder’s cost basis in the entity and the importance of keeping track of it is as follows: 1. Determining how much a partner or shareholder may withdraw from the entity without recognizing any gain 2. Determining the allowable loss of the entity in any given taxable year the partner or shareholder is entitled to claim on his or her tax return. (Remember, these entities are flowthrough entities. The profit or loss is passed through to the individual partner or shareholder to be reported on Form 1040). 3. Determining the gain or loss upon sale of a partnership interest or stock in an S Corporation. tions to capital in increase cost basis, withdrawals decrease cost basis, profits increase cost basis and losses decrease cost basis. Each year, a partner’s or shareholder’s cost basis needs to be updated taking these factors into consideration. When a partner or shareholder withdraws more than his or her investment in the entity, there will be tax consequences. If, for example, a partnership has a $50,000 profit for the year and each of the two partners withdraw $25,000, each partner will report $25,000 of income on his or her tax return. If each partner also withdraws $25,000, there would be no tax to be paid on the distribution itself. Each partner would report $25,000 of his or her share of profit of the entity. This serves to increase the partner’s cost basis. The withdrawal decreases the partner’s cost basis by the same amount. Therefore, the net effect on the partner’s cost basis for the taxable year is zero. The partner does not pay taxes on both the $25,000 share of partnership income as well as the withdrawal of $25,000. If a 50% partner or shareholder contributes $10,000 in capital upon the formation of Senior Solorzano scores two TDs in 14-12 win over Somerville in GBL opener Somerville turned pesky late in the game and defied the scoreboard by putting together its best drive of the game, taking the ball on its own 38yard line and under three minutes to play in the game and marching down the field on an 11-play drive capped by an end zone dive by Slattery with 21 seconds to play which cut the Malden lead to just 14-12. Malden had played even with the visiting Highlanders in the first half, but had built some momentum in the second half, dominating the play clock and time of possession. A key turnover, a lost fumble, came in the late third quarter. Senior captain and quarterback Jordan Rodriguez had left the game briefly when his upper body injury flared up after a Somerville tackle. On the very next play after personnel change, a fumble in the backfield was covered up by Somerville, and Malden’s offensive drive was stunted. Another scoring opportunity High and 2017 American International College (AIC) graduate. Playing slot back on offense, Solorzano gave Malden a lead it would never relinquish late in the second quarter when he took a pass out of the backfield from senior captain and quarterback Jordan Rodriguez at the 12-yard line and ran the rest of the way to the end zone for his first career touchdown. Leading Somerville 7-0 late in the third quarter, it was “Sammy Time” again when Solorzano, now playing outside linebacker, picked up a Highlander fumble at the Malden 45-yard line and raced untouched up the sideline for a 55-yard return touchdown and a 13-6 Malden lead. The difference in the game ended up being the steady shoe of senior kicked Ronald Juarez, who booted both PAT kicks for a 14-0 lead. Somerville roared right back when QB Aidan Slattery connected with freshman receiver Fidendi Francois for a 71-yard touchdown pass with nine seconds left in the third period. The game was not over for Malden (1-2, 1-0 Greater Boston League [GBL]) until Malden freshman James Hyppolite tackled Somerville quarterback Aidan Slattery just before the goal line on a two-point conversion try with 21 seconds to play and Malden leading by a 14-12 score. the entity, and his or her share of the entity’s loss during the year is $15,000, his or her allowable loss would be limited to $10,000. The remaining unallowed loss of $5,000 would be carried over to the following year. If the entity generates a profit of $10,000 during the following year, the partner or shareholder will be able to offset his or her $5,000 share of the profit with the unused carryforward loss of $5,000. One key difference with S Corporations and partnerships is that a partner’s cost basis will be increased by his or her share of partnership debt. A Shareholder in an S Corporation will increase his or her basis only by actually lending money to the corporation. Even recourse debt does not increase a shareholder’s cost basis in the corporation. If a partnership has significant losses during a particular year, third party loans taking out by the partnership will provide additional cost basis to the partners thereby allowing them to deduct losses in excess of their actual contributions to capital. In these situations, this can be a big advantage of a partnership over an S Corporation. Joseph D.

Malden’s defense held and got the ball back, and the scenario changed for the better on Somerville’s next and final drive, where, fueled by short runs, a long pass connection for Slattery led to a touchdown run and two-point chase with 21 seconds left on the clock. *** Malden was right back in action last night against GBL rival Revere (3-0 GBL, 3-1 overall) on the road at Della Russo Stadium.

ANSWERS ther, Supporter of Many Charities Age 71, of Lynnfi eld, formerly of Chelsea, died Saturday, October 2 at his residence. Born in Chelsea on July 6, 1950 he was the son of the late James Donald and Marion Viola (Spracklin) Mitchell. John was raised in Chelsea and was a graduate of Chelsea High School. He went on to graduate from the former Grahm Junior College of Boston and to attend Boston University. John had worked in media, fi rst with NBC in New York City, then he spent time with WEEI and WXKS-AM of Boston until 1994 when he went out on his own and build the now CAM Media, which continues to this day. In his younger years, John was an avid skier and played softball and hockey – most recently he had gotten into cycling. John was a very philanthropic man and was dedicated to several causes, most importantly, the Pan-Mass Challenge, Bike MS (National MS Society,) Best Buddies, Salvation Army, ALS ONE and Communitas of Wakefi eld (formerly EMARC). He was the beloved husband MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6 meet most mornings in Malden Square for coff ee. He called it Malden’s version of the Algonquin Club’s Round Table, and subjects were both “large and small” as Don once noted. Which brings this long-winded diatribe to a column he wrote for the Malden Advocate on Friday, April 29, 2005. Another column about, basically...nothing; Don noted that “Bucky” showed up fi rst this morning “full of his advanced knowledge of useless information.” A sense of fun was always evident in his eloquent offerings. Shortly after Bucky showed Henry, Guy and “Sweet Debbie” appeared followed by Bill Mini, Arthur Kahn (still alive and kicking by the way) and Charlie Griffi n. In classic Donald Squires prose he wrote of the of Lauren (Cantalupa) Mitchell. He was the loving father of Cara A. Mitchell of Merrimac and Megan E. Mitchell and her partner Chris Eriksen of Eagle Bridge, NY. He was the brother of James D. Mitchell and his wife Ethelyn, Nancy Belanger and her husband Daniel of Charlton and the late Jean V. Montesano and her surviving husband Vincent of Revere and the late Joan Mitchell. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews as morning: “with the tangled webs we wove, it was one of the more delightful of some of the dull mementos of breakfast past.” The fi rst topic up for debate for these “old duff ers” was local restaurants. Yoken’s, Augustine’s, Kane’s Doughnuts, the Town Line, Carroll’s in Medford and “haunts that were ready for us after a night on the town,” such as Gottfried’s on Route 1, Gamsun on Hudson Street in Chinatown and China Sails in Swampscott, when they didn’t want to fi ght Boston traffi c. Movies were up next and “actresses that we would gladly leave home for, only joking.” “Only joking” was the 2005 equivalent of my “insert smiley face.” According to Don, Sophia Loren was a slam dunk that morning for most “admired” actress. Henry was smitten with Alice Faye, and Lana well as his beloved dogs Gavin and Maggie. His Funeral Service will be held in the Centre Congregational Church, 5 Summer St., Lynnfi eld on Saturday, Oct. 9 at 10am. Visitation for relatives and friends at the McDonald Funeral Home, 19 Yale Ave., Wakefi eld on Friday, Oct. 8 from 4-7pm. In keeping with John's philanthropic spirt, the family asks for contributions to be made to the charity of one's choice. Turner was Don’s choice. Don also noted that Ingrid Bergman “has made my life a joy.” The article pointed out that “the male actors were not left out either, but not with the same ecstasy as our actresses.” I loved the small town feel of “Curbside.” Don tried his best to make you feel part of his “coff ee klatch.” Made you feel welcome and part of the community – the sign of a successful writer. He always concluded his columns with a nod to his beloved wife, Toby Pearl: “Long may we live to carry on for those folks who left us, and we carry those voices for as long as the Almighty allows us. Until then, God bless America, my Toby Pearl, and all of you.” “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only MALDEN: TODAY | SEE PAGE 20 1. Chicago 2. “Moby Dick” 3.

This year, PORTAL TO HOPE| SEE PAGE 20 a y avvy S iorenniiooro a avvyavvy iori n r by Jim Miller How Does Social Security Work When a Spouse or Ex-Spouse Dies? Dear Savvy Senior, Who qualifies for Social Security survivor benefits? My exhusband died last year, so I would like to fi nd out if me or my 17-year-old daughter are eligible for anything? Divorced Survivor Dear Divorced, If your ex-husband worked and paid Social Security taxes and you and/or your daughter meet the eligibility requirements, you may very well be eligible for survivor benefi ts, but you should act quickly because benefi ts are generally retroactive only up to six months. Here’s what you should know. Under Social Security law, when a person who has worked and paid Social Security taxes dies, certain members of that person’s family may be eligible for survivor benefi ts including spouses, former spouses and dependents. Here’s a breakdown of who qualifi es. Widow(er)’s and divorced widow(er)’s: Surviving spouses that were married at least nine months are eligible to collect a monthly survivor benefi t as early as age 60 (50 if disabled). Divorced surviving spouses are also eligible at this same age, if you were married at least 10 years and did not remarry before age 60 (50 if disabled), unless the marriage ends. How much you’ll receive will depend on how much money (earnings that were subject to Social Security taxes) your spouse or ex-spouse made over their lifetime, and the age in which you apply for survivor benefi ts. If you wait until your full retirement age (which is 66 for people born in 1945-1954 and will gradually increase to age 67 for people born in 1960 or later), you’ll receive 100 of your deceased spouses or ex-spouses benefi t amount. But if you apply between age 60 and your full retirement age, your benefi t will be somewhere between 71.5 – 99 percent of their benefi t. There is, however, one exception. Surviving spouses and exspouses that are caring for a child (or children) of the deceased worker, and they are under age 16 or disabled, are eligible to receive 75 percent of the worker’s benefi t amount at any age. Unmarried children: Surviving unmarried children under age 18, or up to age 19 if they’re still attending high school, are eligible for survivor benefi ts too. Benefi ts can also be paid to children at any age if they were disabled before age 22 and remain disabled. Both biological and adoptive children are eligible, as well as kids born out of wedlock. Dependent stepchildren and grandchildren may also qualify. Children’s benefi ts are 75 percent of the worker’s benefi t. You should also know that in addition to survivor benefi ts, a surviving spouse or child may also be eligible to receive a special lump-sum death payment of $255. Dependent parents: Benefits can also be paid to dependent parents who are age 62 and older. For parents to qualify as dependents, the deceased worker would have had to provide at least one-half of the parent’s fi nancial support. But be aware that Social Security has limits on how much a family can receive in monthly survivors’ benefi ts – usually 150 to 180 percent of the worker’s benefi t. Switching Strategies Social Security also provides surviving spouses and exspouses some nice strategies that can help boost your benefi ts. For example, if you’ve worked you could take a reduced survivor benefi t at age 60 and switch to your own retirement benefi t based on your earnings history – between 62 and 70 – if it off ers a higher payment. Or, if you’re already receiving retirement benefi ts on your work record, you could switch to survivors benefi ts if it off ers a higher payment. You cannot, however, receive both benefi ts. You also need to know that if you collect a survivor benefi t while working, and are under full retirement age, your benefi ts may be reduced depending on your earnings – see SSA.gov/ pubs/EN-05-10069.pdf. For more information on survivor benefi ts, visit SSA.gov/ benefi ts/survivors. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

It had nothing to do with any political agenda. In fact, if you know me personally, then you know I am not very political at all. I have made our children a priority while creating many memories for and with them since 2004.
