Maldden alld a Vol. 32, No. 41 den AADD -FREECraig Spadafora Councillor-at-Large By Steve Freker N early every Malden City Councillor has made the same point. The city’s tax base is too lopsided with the vast majority of the city’s tax revenue generated from residential taxpayers as opposed to commercial and industrial taxpayers. According to Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora, eventually it will be time to “Pay the Piper” with higher property tax rates for the residential taxpayers under the Proposition 2 1/2 provisions with no relief in sight, as the city’s fi nancial obligations grow. That is why it is time for the city to work on and develop a new master plan for development, something that has not been undertaken since 2010. “It is time; our residential tax base is 89% of our property tax revenue, with the rest commercial/industrial,” Spadafora said at Tuesday night’s City Council meeting. “We have to do everything in our power to keep the commercial/industrial we have and, hopefully, increase it.” “If we don’t keep our commercial base, we will drive up residential [rates],” he added. “We have to grow our industrial and commercial base now.” Your Local News Online.

Mayor Christenson, Carey McDonald Councillor-at-Large “We need a master plan and invite any city offi cial who can contribute to such a plan to collaborate with us,” Spadafora said. “This has to be a main priority of this Council, the next City Council and the one after that. This is something we will have to deal with for some time.” Spadafora and Councillor-at-Large Carey McDonald have continually emphasized the issue of the residential versus commercial/industrial tax base throughout the year, most notably when a series of McDonald-authored resolutions regarding present and future fi nancial issues were passed in September.

Former Police Chief Kevin Molis and I have chatted in the past about what era Malden we would like to go back to and spend a day walking the streets. We both agreed that a stroll through Malden Square during the war years (’41-’45) would have been interesting, but after reading the Police Commissioner’s Report of 1912, I gotta say, the early part of last century might get the nod; a “we’re not in Kansas anymore” type moment.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 13, 2023 Page 3 ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Why would Gary Christenson choose to be Malden’s Mayor? T his letter is being written in response to Chris Burgan’s letter to the editor printed in a recent issue of the Malden Advocate (cover date: October 6, 2023). The letter was written in support of Lissette Alvarado’s campaign to be Mayor of Malden. Burgan describes Mayor Christenson as a “classic politician”, in search of “handshakes and photo shoots” and constantly searching for “the next publicity opportunity”. He goes on to state that he doubts that Mayor Christenson “really cares about the people in front of him”, and that Mayor Christenson only cares about what the people “can do for him”. Put simply, Chris Burgan’s impression of Mayor Gary Christenson is wrong. Mayor Christenson has a Juris Doctorate. (That is a fancy way of saying that he has the education to be a lawyer.) Mayor Christenson has the education and background to live comfortably (in Malden or elsewhere), and could easily be making the same amount of money (realistically more) as a lawyer. Malden’s Mayor does not need to walk to and from work in Malden Square. He does not need to pick up trash on his way to and from work. The obvious question is why would Gary Christenson choose to be Malden’s Mayor? The answer is simple. Gary gives a damn. Gary gives a damn about Malden. He gives a damn about his neighbors. Mystic River Watershed Association comments on Healey-Driscoll administration’s new ‘ResilientMass’ plan Note: The following info is based on a statement from the Mystic River Watershed Association.) “T he Healey Administration is setting the pace for the entire nation in moving to a whole-of-government approach to climate change…” focusing on updated building codes, increasing funding and financing and focusing “on protecting the people and resources that most need public support. This will make an enormous difference here in the Mystic River watershed, where we have been depending on private grants to provide the regional support communities need to tackle climate challenges at a regional scale.” Some of the framework the ResilientMass plan creates: • Creating an office of Climate Science so decisions are based on the most accurate climate projections • Focusing on heat safety, especially in public housing, low-income, BIPOC neighborhoods and Department of Conservation & Recreation parks • Developing a Massachusetts floodplain management plan to help address intense and unpredictable rainfall • Developing a coastal resilience policy across 78 locales to manage damage from storms and sea level rise “Massachusetts has a blizzard culture. We are not yet a flooding or heat wave culture. The ResilientMass Plan is a major step forward by the [Commonwealth] to prepare governments, businesses, and residents to manage these emerging weather events with the same awareness and effective response as we already have in place for winter storms.” For more information: https://mass.gov/news/ healey - dr iscoll-admin - i s t rat ion- releases - readi - ness-plan-to-protect-against-extreme-weather GO TO REVERESELFSTORAGE.COM TO RESERVE ONLINE OR SCAN QR CODE • 100% Climate Controlled Facility • Newly Constructed Facility • 5000 Lb.

I am not questioning Lissette Alvarado’s integrity, nor her concern and affection for Malden. That is not the point of this letter. The point of this letter should be obvious. Gary gives a damn.

Jason Lewis and the neighborhood resulted in a very successful process, and ultimately a beautiful park. I’m grateful for everyone’s support and participation in this project.

I am grateful for the leadership of Speaker Mariano and my colleagues for supporting the legislation.” “I was proud to join my colleagues in passing the Francis Perkins Workplace Equity Act not only to close gender and racial wage gaps but to empower workers broadly across the Commonwealth,” said State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose). “Greater pay transparency is a tool for correcting gender and racial wage disparities. Salary information further empowers all workers with greater leverage as they navigate the job market and seek income aligned with the value of their work.” This legislation builds upon the measures taken to promote an equitable work environment with the Legislature's passage of the Massachusetts Equal Pay Act in 2016. Additionally, this legislation was named after the fi rst woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of Labor – a proud Boston native, Frances Perkins. On October 5, the Massachusetts Senate referred the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act to its Committee on Ways and Means. If the Act is signed into law, Massachusetts would be the eleventh state to require employers to disclose salary ranges and to mandate pay transparency. from 9:30-11:30 a.m. and meet on the first & third Wednesdays.

S ALEM – The MBTA and Keolis Commuter Services (Keolis), the agency’s operating partner for Commuter Rail, today announced that train frequency will increase to two trains an hour to and from Salem during the month of October, which is the most weekend Commuter Rail service ever. This increase in service is to accommodate visitors to Salem during Haunted Happenings. The schedule is available online at MBTA. com/CR. “Salem is the place to be this Halloween season for Haunted Happenings, and we’re ready to bring you there with more weekend Commuter Rail trips this October than we’ve ever offered before to and from Salem,” said MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng. “Mass transportation is a great way to travel, so leave the driving to us and enjoy Salem’s festivities in Witch City. Thank you to our partners at Keolis for their ability to provide more convenient service for the public with this great fall schedule.” “Commuter Rail is a safe, fast, and reliable alternative to driving. We invite everyone to take their journey to Salem on the Commuter Rail this Halloween season,” said Abdellah Chajai, CEO and General Manager of Keolis Commuter Services. “For Haunted Happenings, passengers will have four weekLaw Offices of JOSEPH D.

CATALDO, CPA, CMA, CFP, PFS, ESQUIRE ends of added service throughout October, in addition to the extended late-night service provided in the 2023 Fall/Winter schedule. Commuter Rail is the best option for arriving to Salem’s festivities and we encourage passengers to arrive early for boarding.” “Salem is a fun and vibrant city,” said Salem Mayor Dominick Pangallo. “Because we don’t have enough parking to accommodate the number of visitors who visit, though, we strongly encourage visitors to consider alternative ways to travel to our city. There will be an increase in Commuter Rail trains throughout the month of October, as well as passenger capacity on our ferry to and from Boston. So, this October, take the train, take the ferry, come by bike, or come by broom – but leave your car at home. You’ll have a much more enjoyable visit!” Last year during Haunted Happenings, weekend ridership on the Newburyport Rockport Line was the highest it has ever been, exceeding more than 400% of the pre-COVID ridership. For Haunted Happenings, there will be 10 more inbound trains from Salem to North Station, with at least 10 trains after 6 PM. There will also be eight additional outbound trains from North Station to Salem, and seven more outbound trains from Salem to Beverly. In the temporary Haunted Happenings schedule, passengers will have more flexibility with trains arriving in Salem from North Station about every 40 minutes throughout the day. This year, in addition to the existing all-day service, the 2023 Fall/Winter schedule also saw the return of late-night service. This has been by far the most requested change among riders on all Commuter Rail lines. Passengers looking to attend evening events in Salem can benefit from late weekday and weekend trains. In the Fall/Winter schedule, the last weekday outbound train to Salem departs North Station at 11:50 PM – 50 minutes later than in the current Spring/Summer schedule. The last weekend outbound train to Salem departs North Station at 11:50 PM – 50 minutes later than in the current weekend schedule. The last weekend inbound train to North Station departs Salem at 12:35 AM – nearly two hours later than in the current weekend schedule. Passengers can utilize the $10 Weekend Commuter Rail Pass for their journey to and from Salem. For Indigenous People’s Day (Monday, October 9), we will operate regular Monday weekday service. Passengers can stay connected with Commuter Rail by calling customer service at 617-2223200, following @MBTA_CR on X (formerly known as Twitter) or signing up for T-Alerts at mbta. com/alerts.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 13, 2023 Lynn Classical football team airs it out in win over Malden, 34-0 Tornados blanked for second time this season; Rams passing game dominates By Steve Freker W hat it came down to was this: Lynn Classical’s receivers caught basically everything thrown near them... Malden’s designated pass catchers did not. Classical Rams quarterback Brian Vaughan Jr. torched the Malden defense for 249 yards passing and 4 touchdowns while completing 21 of 28 tosses. Vaughan’s favorite target was highly-touted split end John Nasky, who caught 11 balls for 135 yards and two TDs. RJ Faessler had 7 receptions for 80 yards and two touchdowns. The loss dropped Malden to 1-4 overall (1-2 Greater Boston League), and Classical rose to 4-1 overall with the win and a perfect 3-0 in the GBL. Malden was back in action last night in a home game with Lynn English, which was 1-4 overall and 1-1 GBL heading into last night’s game. The game started in promising fashion for Malden, which battled host Lynn Classical to a scoreless 0-0 tie after the fi rst quarter. Malden senior safety Felix Junior Da Costa and junior captain and linebacker James Hyppolite helped keep the Rams off the scoreboard with key tackles. Da Costa also broke up three passes. Da Costa, who is in the top three tacklers in the state of Massachusetts, had 14 tackles and four assists to lead Malden for the night. Lynn Classical eventually broke free and scored twice in the second quarter, both on TD passes from Vaughan to Nasky, one for 32 yards at the beginning of the quarter and the second with less than two minutes before the end of the fi rst half. Malden hit on some plays off ensively to get within shouting distance of the end zone in both of the fi rst two quarters, on pass completions from freshman quarterback Ryan Bowdridge to junior Aidan Brett or senior Davian McGuffi e. But Malden’s ground game was missing for most of the night, and the Golden Tornados were not able to use the clock to their advantage with possession time. Still, the game was still very much within reach for Malden in the second half, as the Tornado defense, led by Da Costa and junior defensive end Dwayne Saintvil, made key tackles and stuffed Classical on a long drive at the 7-yard line for no score, with the Rams leading 21-0, looking to put the game away. All night long, Malden was beset by numerous penalty calls, slogging down its offense, or keeping Classical drives alive. Lynn Classical did not let up, adding two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter as Malden lost a couple of key guys to injuries in the second half, including junior captain James Hyppolite. “It was not a positive night,” Malden Head Coach Witche Exilhomme said. “We have to do MAKING SOME SPACE: Malden High junior Felix Da Costa (26) looks for some room on a punt return. a better job in all areas when we face an opponent like Lynn Classical.” “They have some very good skill players and if we miss a coverage or a tackle it could turn into points for them, which it did in this game,” Coach Exilhomme said. “We have to respond much better on both sides of the ball. We have to get in the win column, that is our only goal.” **** EXTRA POINTS: Malden senior Felix Junior Da Costa is among the state leaders in tackles, with nearly 60 in fi ve games: 48 tackles and 12 assists.

Up 28-0 with less than four minutes to play, Lynn Classical declined to take the foot off the offensive gas pedal, keeping the ball in the air and driving down the fi eld against Malden, scoring its fi nal touchdown with 1:11 to play, with all if its starters still on the fi eld, including its starting quarterback, who missed almost all of last season (10 games) after sustaining a serious injury in a similar situation in the spring 2022 season, while his team was up three touchdowns late. Malden wasn’t coming back Friday night from a 4-touchdown defi cit with under two minutes to play, yet Lynn Classical continued to fi re passes downfi eld.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 13, 2023 Page 11 Hickey’s game-winner leads girls’ soccer team over Winthrop, 5-4 By Emily Brennan T he Mystic Valley girls’ soccer team took down Winthrop by a score of 5-4 on Monday afternoon. In a 4-4 game, Reilly Hickey scored the clutch 50th minute game-winner to secure a victory for the Eagles. Hickey ripped home a goal from the top right corner of the box after she created separation from her defender with some fancy footwork. Evie Reynolds netted Maroon and Gold’s fi rst tally of the day off an assist from Lucia Antonucci to open the scoring in the eighth minute. Mystic Valley controlled the pace of play in the remainder of the fi rst half, scoring three more goals while conceding two. Reynolds had one more goal and Hickey had two goals, which were both assisted by Antonucci. The second half was tougher for the Eagles, as Winthrop increased the pressure by throwing more numbers into their attacking third, resulting in a back-and-forth fl ow to the game, with Winthrop scoring twice and Mystic Valley scoring on one fi nal occasion, again by Hickey. In goal, Emily DeLeire was solid once again, as she saved four Winthrop shots on the afternoon. After the win, the Eagles improved to 6-3-1 in the season. Mystic Valley hosts Innovation Academy on Thursday for a 4:15 p.m. contest. For the latest on Mystic Valley Athletics, follow the Eagles on social media on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Healey signed into law the conference committee version of a tax relief package. It was drafted and approved by the Legislature 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 uniBHRC | SEE PAGE 18

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 rented by a person whose income is less than a certain level set by the municipality. The measure also includes two 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.

The same provisions which permitted public bodies to meet remotely, or convene in a hybrid manner, have been extended through March 31, 2025. This extension allows public bodies to continue to meet remotely or to meet in a hybrid manner, without a quorum of the public body physically present at a meeting location. The law requires that a public body provide “adequate, alternative” access to remote meetings.

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, unrelated to what they earned or paid in taxes. “We are thrilled to deliver on our promise to pass tax cuts that will result in real savings for the people of Massachusetts, including the country’s largest child and family tax credit that will go back in the pockets of parents and caregivers,” said Gov. Healey. “Everywhere we go, we hear about how people are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living. This tax package delivers savings for those who need it most, while making long overdue changes that will better allow Massachusetts to compete with other states.” “The High Tech Council appreciates the effort Gov. Healey and the Legislature put into this first step towards addressing the state’s tax outlier status,” said High Tech Council President Chris Anderson. “Unfortunately, the final tax ‘relief’ legislation falls short of delivering the meaningful change needed, as it includes both an expansion of the voter-approved income surtax and an unconstitutional redistribution of income through changes to the voter-approved Chapter 62F rebate formula.” Anderson concluded, “The High Tech Council looks forward to collaborating with Gov. Healey, her cabinet and legislators across the commonwealth who are committed to defending and strengthening our business climate and the associated high quality of life BHRC | SEE PAGE 19

Governor Kim Driscoll. “Families, seniors, renters, businesses and commuters will see hundreds of dollars in savings each year. Gov. Healey and I look forward to spreading the word across the state that savings are here for the people of Massachusetts.” “The modest tax relief package signed by the governor is nothing more than modest, it’s at best an adjustment for inflation,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “If the goal was to pass a piece of legislation that would make Massachusetts more economically competitive, keep taxpayers here or attract taxpayers to Massachusetts, then this tax relief package is not nearly enough.” Craney continued, ”In reality, after this tax relief package is passed into law, Massachusetts goes from the state with the highest short term capital gains tax in the country to the second highest. Massachusetts goes from the state with the most aggressive estate tax in the country to now only better than Oregon and Rhode Island. Meanwhile, states like New Hampshire and Florida don’t even have these taxes. Taxpayers should hold their applause until the governor and Statehouse leaders do more.” “When Massachusetts’ middle-class families succeed, we all succeed—and that is exactly what this tax relief bill will help us do,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “This legislation answers the calls that we have heard from people around the state, saying that their costs are rising, they cannot find housing and it’s becoming hard to operate a business. It puts real dollars back into the bank accounts of working families, relieves financial strains for our young professionals, puts meaningful incentives into developing affordable housing and will keep our state competitive for businesses who will invest in our workforce.” EQUITY IN EDUCATION EVENT - What can our business, political and education leaders do differently to connect Black and Latino students to pathways to careers that our thriving life sciences, health, clean tech and other sectors so urgently need to fill?

Current law requires the companies to provide only up to $750. “I sponsored this bill after a three-alarm fire broke out in the Folly Hill Meadows apartment complex in Beverly, leaving about 40 residents homeless,” said sponsor Rep. Jerry Parisella (D-Beverly). “Insurance only covered up to $750 for their relocation, leaving most of them in limbo and scrambling to find help from the city, state and local nonprofits. This bill would raise that amount and help residents like these across the commonwealth who are displaced by a fire.” INCREASE FINES FOR VIOLATING HANDICAPPED PARKING (H 3261) – The Transportation Committee held a hearing on a proposal that would allow cities and towns to increase the fines for handicap parking violations from a maximum of $350 to a maximum of $450. The measure also would place the money into a specialized account to be used for ADA upgrades in the city or town where the violation occurred. “This bill would accomplish two things,” said sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers (D-Quincy). “It would strengthen our current laws on handicap parking protection, while raising funds to make our communities more handicap accessible. Passage of this bill would help our towns and cities cultivate a more independent lifestyle for our seniors, veterans and people with disabilities, by raising these funds on the backs of those who break laws meant to protect our vulnerable citizens.” RENAME COLUMBUS DAY(H 2989, S 1976) – The Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight held a hearing on two bills that would designate the second Monday in October, now known as Columbus Day, as Indigenous Peoples Day and recommends appropriate exercises in schools to acknowledge the history of genocide and discrimination against Indigenous people. The hearing was held on October 3 with only six days left until this year’s Columbus Day on October 9. Neither the House nor Senate have voted on the bill itself so any name change, if approved, would have to wait until 2024 to take effect. “Christopher Columbus did not discover the Americas,” said co-sponsors Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton) and Rep. Christine Barber (D-Somerville) in a joint statement. “That myth — steeped in racism and violence — has allowed generations to credit a European man with discovering a land already teeming with societies. Indigenous communities and tribal nations in the commonwealth and across the United States call us to act. It is thanks to their courageous truth telling that we recognize the legacy of colonization in the name of Columbus as one not worthy of extraordinary memorialization or celebration.” “Twenty states and the District of Columbia observe Native American or Indigenous Peoples Day in addition to or in replacement of Columbus Day,” continued the statement. “In 2021, President Joe Biden formally commemorated Indigenous Peoples Day with a presidential proclamation, becoming the first U.S. president to do so. Massachusetts should do the same. Let us change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day — a holiday to honor those who first settled this land. This holiday will pay rightful tribute to the contributions of Indigenous people in Massachusetts -- past, present and future.” REPLACE “HEARING IMPAIRED” WITH “DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING” (S 1983) – Another bill heard by the Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight would remove the term "hearing impaired" from the state’s law books and replace it with "deaf or hard of hearing." Supporters said the National Association of the Deaf recommends this change in terminology due to the negative connotations of the phrase "hearing impaired." New York, Utah, New Hampshire, Louisiana and California have already passed similar bills into law. "I introduced this bill because of the advocacy of high school students from the CAPS Program for the Deaf at Newton North High School, who wrote to me about why they reject the term 'hearing impaired' and why it's painful for them to see it used in Massachusetts law," said sponsor Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). "The language in our statutes should reflect the rich culture and diversity of the deaf and hard of hearing community, not falsely imply that the community is somehow damaged or less than." SUICIDE PREVENTION SIGNAGE (S 970)- The Judiciary Committee held a hearing on legislation that would require parking garages that are more than three stories or 30 feet, to post suicide prevention signage with information on suicide prevention including the “Dial 988” behavioral health emergency line and the words “You Are Not Alone.” The sign must be posted conspicuously on each of the four walls of a garage on each floor above 3 stories or 30 feet in height and in each elevator lobby and stairwell on each floor leading to the top level of the garage. Businesses which do not comply will be fined $50 per day. The revenue from the fines would be distributed equally to Massachusetts non-profit organizations dedicated to preventing suicide. The bill also directs the state to conduct a study of mass transportation facilities, including railways and crossings, which are potential means of suicide or locations where a suicide has occurred in the last ten years. A report with the finding would then be submitted and within one year, the Department of Public Health would develop regulations requiring the MBTA to integrate at mass transportation facilities, physical infrastructure and design elements that will reduce and eliminate means of suicide. “Over the last several years we have seen a disturbing trend in suicide deaths at parking garages and MBTA facilities across the commonwealth,” said sponsor Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough).“[The bill] aims to address the prevalence of suicide deaths at these facilities by requiring clear signage be posted with information on suicide prevention … It is my hope that these signs may spark a moment of pause for that person in pain, a moment to reconsider, a reminder that they indeed are not alone.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “We’re glad to see the Legislature is seriously considering reducing the plastic that contaminates our state. This statewide law is overdue.” ---Lydia Churchill of Environment Massachusetts and Janet Domenitz of MASSPIRG following a public hearing on legislation that would restrict the Use of Styrofoam and other Polystyrene products. “We know that there are innovative, brilliant companies across Massachusetts with the potential to scale, and we know they don’t all have connections to resources, friends and family to fundraise from, and existing networks from which to tap talent. With Massachusetts Founders Network (MFN) we can support founders no matter where they are in Massachusetts–and ultimately level the playing field when it comes to connections, capital, and other support.” --- Director Jeffrey Thomas of Lever, an economic development nonprofit, commenting on the creation of the MFN, a new initiative that gives startup founders equitable access to resources that will help their companies grow. “A college education should be accessible and affordable to anyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris know that unencumbered access to higher education is a key element to creating generational wealth that all Americans deserve an opportunity to earn.” --- Steve Kerrigan, chair of the Massachusetts Democratic Party on President Biden’s announcement that an additional 125,000 Americans, including 28,670 from the Bay State, have been approved for $9 billion in student debt relief. “Massachusetts has a rich history of cranberry growing. This industry has long provided economic and environmental benefits, and it’s important to work with farmers to ensure the longterm viability of their farms. Our administration stands in support of cranberry farmers. We look forward to continued collaboration in utilizing modern techniques for growing and harvesting to conserve water and protect our open spaces.” --- Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper announcing October as “Massachusetts Cranberry Month.” 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 late-night sessions.

Page 20 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 13, 2023 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. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “Th e Savvy Senior” book. avvyavvy S oravvy S ioreniioor io iori by Jim Miller Three Vaccines Seniors Should Consider Getting This Fall Dear Savvy Senior, Which vaccines are recommended for Medicare seniors this fl u season? Just Turned 65 A Weatherize ahead of winter with help from the sponsors of Mass Save s the seasons change and cooler temperatures approach, it’s essential to prepare your home for the challenges of winter. Weatherization is a proactive approach to improving your home’s energy efficiency and comfort while also reducing heating and cooling costs, and it’s easy to schedule your appointments. Readers should know that fall is the time to make the necessary weatherization upgrades to their homes or businesses, because once the temperatures drop contractors can book out for weeks or even months. The Sponsors of Mass Save® encourage homeowners, renters and small businesses to utilize Mass Save rebates and incentives to weatherize and offer the following tips to help you get started! • Sealing Air Leaks: Air leaks are responsible for significant energy loss in homes, leading to drafty rooms and higher heating bills. Fall is an ideal time to identify and seal air leaks to help mitigate drafts prior to winter. Check for gaps around windows, doors, electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures. Use weatherstripping, caulk or expanding foam to seal these gaps and prevent cold air from entering your home and warm air from escaping. • Insulating Floors, Attics and Walls: Suffi cient insulation is crucial to maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature and reducing energy consumption. Insulating your floors, attic and walls helps to prevent heat loss during the winter and can keep your home cooler in the warmer months. In fall, before the temperature drops, evaluate your insulation levels and consider adding more if necessary. Insulate exposed pipes and ducts to prevent freezing and heat loss. This simple step can signifi cantly reduce your heating costs and increase overall energy effi ciency. • Maintaining Your Heating System: Before the cold weather arrives, ensure that your heating system is in good working condition. Regular maintenance – such as cleaning or replacing air fi lters, checking thermostats and scheduling professional inspections – can improve the effi ciency and lifespan of your heating system. Fall is an opportune time to address any issues or make necessary repairs before the demand for heating increases. • Conserve Your Heat: Doing small tasks – such as setting your thermostat to the lowest comfortable temperature or making sure the damper is closed on your fi replace when it is not being used – can make a huge diff erence in conserving your home’s heat. A chimney can draw out as much as 25 percent of the heated or cooled air in your house if the damper is left open. For every 1 degree Fahrenheit you set your thermostat back, you might save between 1 to 3 percent on your annual heating bill. • Installing Window Covers: Windows are a common source of heat loss. Installing drapes or shades to cover your windows can prevent heat from escaping and cold air from entering, aiding you in maintaining a consistent indoor temperature and saving you money on heating bills all winter long. • Inspecting and Cleaning Gutters: During fall, leaves and debris tend to accumulate in gutters, blocking the fl ow of water. Clogged gutters can lead to water damage, ice dams and roof leaks. Regularly inspect and clean your gutters to ensure proper drainage. Remove any debris and consider installing gutter guards to prevent future clogging. Properly functioning gutters will help protect your home from water-related issues during the winter season. • Preventing Ice Dams: Ice dams are a serious problem many face during Massachusetts winters. If you see a row of icicles hanging from your roofl ine, that is the time to check to see if there’s any ice dams. Insulation and air sealing improvements can help reduce the chance of ice dams and protect your roof from potential damage. In addition to keeping gutters clean, you should increase attic fl oor insulation and improve ventilation in your roof, attic and eaves to avoid damage.
