My family’s experience of housing insecurity and my deep gratitude for the community’s support guides my commitment to serve my neighbors even to this day. At the beginning of this campaign, we conducted a listening tour in every corner of Ward 5. We heard directly from residents about what they want from their next Councillor. My vision for leading Ward 5 is based on a clear understanding of what residents want and need. Folks want to stay true to what’s worked well for years — and they absolutely want to build for the future. Here’s my plan, based on your ideas and input: • Keep providing family-friendly events throughout the year, and add even more fun activities for all ages in every part of the Ward to keep our community vibrant. • Respond promptly to residents’ requests for assistance, including on evenings and weekends. • Host public Ward meetings, suppers, and office hours on a Our 51st Anniversary Chris 2023 them navigate the pandemic shutdown and reopen as quickly as possible — and I will stand strongly with our small business community, ready to navigate a changing economy together.

For over 30 years, I’ve been delivering results for Malden. I’ve helped create and find sustainable funding for numerous Malden institutions — like Malden Porchfest, the Merry Malden Holiday Drive, and UMA (MATV). I worked with the owners of Stand Up 8 Dance Studio in Maplewood Square to help heart out for Ward 5 residents and go the extra mile. Just as an example, this summer I’ve taken the time to meet with various heads of City departments, getting to know them and how their departments work, so I will be ready on day one to respond to residents’ needs. They’ve shared so many great ideas that I’m ready and excited to work on.

From shabby to chic just in my lifetime! The Devir Park reopening was well worth the wait! The park is beautiful, a feast for the eyes! The grand reopening was well attended and enthusiastically met by all in attendance. Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon – well played, you done real good! You were a relentless pit bull in your drive to see Devir become a showcase park; you succeeded! Well, you and Jenelle DeVits, but as Ward Councilor you flexed your muscle, rolled up your sleeves, put in the hard work, and voila...Devir Park looks marvelous! Big shots in attendance that gorgeous Thursday morning were Mayor Gary Christenson, State Senator Jason Lewis, State Representative Steve Ultrino (D-Edgeworth), generations of the Devir family, Ward 2 School Committee member Rob McCarthy, Ward 8 Councillor Jadeane Sica, DPW Director Bobby Knox, State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian, Councillor-at-Large Carey MacDonald, Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora, Recreation Director Joe Levine, and many, many other happy Edgeworthians and Maldonians! Councillor Condon ain’t no fancy talker but on this glorious morning he sounded downright statesmanlike (think Abe Lincoln meets Ed Markey): “We now have a gorgeous greenspace, recreation fields and a brandnew tot lot. Our own neighborhood park is now the jewel of this great city and a wonIn the photo: Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon and Mayor Gary Christenson at the Devir Park rededication. derful addition to the quality of life of this community. This park is a testament to what we can achieve when we work together for a common goal. It is a gift to our present and future generations. It is a legacy that we can be proud of – something for us to enjoy now and for generations to come. I want to thank all of you who have contributed to this project in any way, big or small. This park is more than just a place to relax, play and exercise. It’s also a symbol of our commitment to environmental sustainability…a way for friends and neighbors to connect. It took years of hard work and dedicated effort. There were contributions from so many, and I thank you all. I don’t want miss anyone, but there is one person, especially, without whom this amazing project would have literally not happened. Jenelle DeVits has been a force of nature – moving things forward, keeping the balance among parties with different interests, updating and communicating. Projects like this sometimes become complicated and unfriendly, but here we not only have such beautiful results but along the way, I think, it was a good process for the neighborhood and everyone in it. People coming together and getting something done – the whole world needs more of it. Really, it’s just been awesome. I’m glad you’re here today for the formalities, but more importantly I hope you’ll come back soon and often and enjoy this beautiful park!” Would not be right if I didn’t mention a couple more folks who also had a hand in the revitalization of Devir Park. DPW Director Bobby Knox, Special Assistant to the Mayor Maria Luise, Recreation Director Joe Levine and Alex Pratt – we salute you! As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – I adopted Devir Park as my second home in the “Impossible Dream” year of 1967.

Our monthly mortgage is $1,200. My housing reality is a pipe dream for anyone hoping to rent or purchase in Malden now. The only people who can aff ord a new life in Malden are those who have amassed a small fortune to rent or buy here. On Zillow as of October 30, 2023: - The cheapest rental is $1,100 per month for a studio apartment. - The most expensive rental is $5,000 per month. - The cheapest condo for sale is a two-bedroom for $349,900. - The cheapest single family home is an abandoned home on Waitt’s Mount for $399,000 being sold for cash or rehab loan only. - The next single family home immediately jumps to $599,000. It’s time that we start building a Malden for us. We need to refocus on our current residents. We are pricing out our Malden residents - individuals, seniors and families. We are even pricing out those who can aff ord luxury housing but can no longer aff ord rents in the $3,500+ range. I pledge to work with the City Council to explore options for rent control. We need to be more proactive and immediately begin studying how rent control could benefi t our residents and neighborhoods. When people aren’t scraping to pay their rent, they can spend their money elsewhere on restaurants, entertainment, and savings. For context: Rent control has been outlawed in Massachusetts since 1994, but COVID changed everything. Rents, infl ation, and the cost of food and necessities are all way up. There are currently several rent control bills in the State legislature awaiting review, including S.1299/H.2103 “An Act Enabling Cities and Towns to Stabilize Rents and Protect Tenants.” These bills would NOT force towns and cities to enact rent control. It would only open the door to allow them to vote on enacting rent control in their specific city or town through their own city council/town meeting legislative processes. My goal is to exempt small landlords (double and triple deckers and owner occupied buildings) who rent units for income as opposed to profi t. I want to help the small landlords that need it to help them maintain aff ordable rents of their tenants. These eff orts would work towards keeping Malden residents and families in Malden. Just because we were not legally mandated in the past to require aff ordable housing does not mean we should have ignored the need, and that is exactly what happened. We have to face the reality that Malden is no longer aff ordable for people who rent and live here. Our city government needs to begin addressing this now. I will also work with the City Council to review our Inclusionary Zoning law. Currently, it requires new developments to include affordable housing only if the development will be 8 or more units. We need more mixed income developments around our entire city for buildings that have a smaller footprint (under 8 units). I will work with the City Council to amend our zoning laws to make more aff ordable housing in every new development that comes to this city regardless of size. Another proactive option is to expand our Property Acquisitions program through the Aff ordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF). The AHTF was created in 2019, but up until this Fall, the City had not purchased one property using AHTF in the past four years. We can purchase properties and return them to the aff ordable housing pool by selling them to first time and/or low income homebuyers. That’s a win for both the city and our residents. Homes stay taxable, and we keep Malden residents in Malden. Beginning this fall, the current Salvation Army purchase/project is the fi rst aff ordable housing project of the AHTF. This is an excellent example of how we can build aff ordable housing with trusted partners like the Asian Community Development Corporation. I hope to see many more collaborations of this sort in the future. We need to let renters and fi rst time homebuyers know that we support them. We can do that by creating a First Time Homebuyers Education Program which will walk residents through the process of purchasing their fi rst home. Buying a home is a daunting task, and we can build awareness and excitement for buying homes in Malden by educating our residents on the process. We can also support our fi rst time homebuyers by utilizing $1 million from ARPA funding as a pilot program that subsidizes $3,000 in closing costs for over 300+ fi rst-time buyers that agree to live in the property they purchase (owner occupied), and stay in that property for fi ve years. If they forfeit any of these options, they forfeit the down payment assistance and must repay the city. The main focus of my aff ordable housing plan is to work with the City Council towards viable solutions NOW. We can build a Malden for all of us. We have made good progress with increasing our housing stock, but at the cost of pricing out our longtime residents. We should be exploring all proactive options for more aff ordable housing. I want our wonderful residents to stay and invest their lives here. A mixed income and multi-generational residential base is a benefi t to all of us. Let’s work with the City Council to make Malden welcoming for both current residents and new ones. Vote for real change on November 7th!!

Following a sensational season where the Maldonian tallied 15 goals in 17 starts with the U-17s, he was named the U-17 MLS NEXT MVP, becoming the fi rst New England player to earn the national honor. The forward also became the club’s third MLS NEXT AllStar in 2023, competing alongApril 21, and he recorded one assist across 16 appearances.

The Massachusetts product featured with New England’s Under-19 Academy squad earlier this summer, helping the side claim its second consecutive MLS NEXT Cup title in Frisco, Texas. He went on to sign with New England Revolution II on July 26, after making his professional debut with the team on the international stage through four call-ups from the Guatemala Youth National Team. His most recent selection came in January, where the forward tallied four goals in the U-17 Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football Championship in helping lead his country to the quarterfi nals for the fi rst time since 2013. Escobar is the ninth diff erent recipient of the honor, which is given annually to the most outstanding amateur player in the Revolution’s pro pathway. Previous winners of the UnitedHealthcare Academy Player of the Year Award include current fi rst team homegrown players Justin Rennicks (2015, 2016), Noel Buck (2021) and Jack Panayotou (2022) along with Zachary Herivaux (2014), Joe Brito (2017), Kevin Vang (2018), Tyler Freitas (2019) and Trevor Burns (2020).

Mayor Christenson, if reelected to a fourth, four-year term of offi ce would equal the longevity of his predecessor in the city’s top post, as the longest-serving mayor in Malden municipal history. Former Mayor Richard Howard served six consecutive terms, from 1996-2012. Mayor Howard served four twoyear terms and two four-year terms, when the ordinance was changed to lengthen the mayoral terms in 2003. Mayor Christenson would be the fi rst Malden mayor to be elected to and serve a fourth, four-year term and second to serve at least 16 years at the helm. If Alvarado is elected mayor on Tuesday, she will be the city’s fi rst woman to sit in that offi ce and the only person this century or in many years before it, to win the city’s top post in a fi rst try as a political candidate. Mayor Christenson, 54, is a lifelong resident of Malden who has lived for many years on Ashland Street, in the Ward November artist Gurleen Anand (courtesy photo) 1 Belmont neighborhood where he grew up. On the campaign trail this past year, he has highlighted the progress and achievement the city of Malden and many of its citizens have made during his 12 years in offi ce. Included were successful eff orts to make the downtown area more vibrant, notably presiding over the razing of old City Hall and reopening of Pleasant Street for the fi rst time in 40-plus years. There were major infrastructure improvements in areas, such as the removal of more lead pipes in the past decade; guiding the city in building a new Police Station and establishing a new location for City Hall; initiating major additions and commitments to combating climate change; and improving language access for residents, including one of the fi rst transliteral voting ballots in Massachusetts history. Mayor Christenson’s administration is also responsible for increasing initiatives and opportunities for the youth of Malden, notably, employing over 400 teens and young adults in an expanded Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program (MYSEP) this past summer. The employment program now also puts dozens of teens and young adults to work year-round. Mayor Christenson, who has been formally endorsed by both Governor Maura Healey and Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, among others, has also declared there are many areas where the city could continue to improve and where Malden can continue to evolve, for the betterment of its residents. Mayor Christenson holds bachelor of arts and master’s degrees from Suff olk University and is also a graduate of Suff olk University Law School. He previously worked as budget director for former Middlesex Sheriff James DiPaola from 1998-2011 and before that as a budget analyst for the Mass. House Ways and Means Committee, reporting to then Speaker Thomas Finneran. “We have accomplished so much together over the last three terms, and there’s still more to do,” Mayor Christenson said, in a campaign statement. “With persistence and collaboration, we can continue to deliver transformative results to Malden.” Alvarado, 44, grew up on the west side of Chicago, Ill., and has lived in Malden since 2011, for the past 12 years in all, on upper Pleasant Street in Malden’s West End. The mother of four school-age children, this is her fi rst run at political offi ce, and she has expressed her desire for a number of new initiatives for the community, if elected, including increased language access to government resources for local residents, a new Malden Teen Enrichment Center here and the creation of a municipal Offi ce of Public Engagement. She has also advocated for a new, centralized fi re station and has been an activist to address climate change and conserve and expand green space in Malden. While previously living in Chicago, Ill., Alvarado worked in the U.S. Senate for then Illinois U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, moving on to the White House during the Obama Presidential administration. She said meeting with constituents has always been a top priority as a staff er on the Hill and in the White House. “It’s time that we get back to the basics and build a Malden today for the families and individuals who live here now,” Alvarado said, in a campaign statement. “With transparency and collaboration, we can strengthen the foundations of what makes our city vibrant and attractive for our residents today.”

Only 7,187 voters cast ballots. In the last election featuring a contested mayoral election, 30% of registered voters cast ballots in 2019, where incumbent Mayor Gary Christenson defeated challenger John Matheson. The highest turnout for a contested mayoral election in the past 20 years was in 2011, incumbent Mayor Gary Christenson’s first mayoral run, where the then Ward 1 Councillor defeated then Councillor-at-Large Deborah Fallon. Some 32% of registered voters came to the polls that year. There is a special election spotlight in Ward 5, where voters have the opportunity this year to elect both a new Councillor and first-time School Committee member. Both incumbents – longtime Councillor Barbara Murphy and School Committee member Adam Weldai – opted to not seek reelection this year. Voters will also elect seven other School Committee members on Tuesday. All eight candidates – including seven incumbents – are running unopposed. The new Ward 5 School Committee member running unopposed and being elected on Tuesday is first-time political candidate Elizabeth J.

In Ward 5, there is an open City Council seat for the first time in over a dozen years as City Council President Barbara Murphy decided not to seek reelection this term. There is a faceoff between Ari Taylor and Julie Willcox Turner. Taylor finished runner-up to Murphy in 2021, while Willcox Turner is a first-time candidate. Murphy has endorsed Julie Willcox Turner to succeed her in the Ward 5 Councillor post. The Ward 6 Councillor race features a rematch between incumbent Councillor Stephen Winslow and challenger Jerry Leone. Winslow, in his 2021 first run as a Ward Councillor after having served two terms as Councillor-at-Large, defeated Leone 61%-38%. Both candidates are former Ward 6 School Committee members.

MUSINGS | FROM PAGE 6 SPECIAL NEEDS TRUSTS S pecial needs trusts are often referred to as supplemental needs trusts. The name used isn’t so much important as are the terms of these trusts. A special needs trust funded with assets of a disabled individual as a result of an inheritance or judgment in a lawsuit is often referred to as a sole benefit trust. Assets in such a trust must be utilized for the sole benefit of the special needs individual. The special needs individual can now be the Settlor of his or her own sole benefit trust. It is no longer a requirement for such a trust to be created by a parent, legal guardian or probate court. These are what we call first party trusts as the trusts are created by the special needs individual with his or her own assets. The first party trust must contain a payback provision to MassHealth upon the death of the special needs individual if, for example, her or she was receiving MassHealth benefits. If there is money left over after MassHealth is paid back, the remaining monies can be distributed to family members pursuant to the terms of said trust. A third party trust, on the other hand, is created by a parent, for example, with the parent’s own assets. A third party trust is less restrictive than a first party trust and there is no payback provision to MassHealth upon the death of the special needs child. Any monies remaining will be distributed to the remainder beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the trust. If a parent was transferring assets to a special needs trust in order to qualify for MassHealth long-term care by reducing countable assets to $2,000 or less, MassHealth will require the Trust to contain a payback provision in order that MassHealth gets paid back for all of the expenditures it made for the parent’s longterm care expenses. Any monies remaining in the trust upon the parent’s death would then be available to provide for the special needs child’s care. Also, keep in mind all of these special needs trusts are designed to supplement the special needs child’s care, but not to supplant any governmental benefits being received by the child. A trustee needs to be very careful when administering a first party special needs trust. If expenditures are not made consistent with the law, the special needs child could either have public benefits reduced or lost altogether. There is more flexibility when administering a third party special needs trust in terms of expenses paid for. A trustee should keep very accurate records of trust receipts and disbursements and should be transparent with the special needs child and family members that may be involved in the child’s care. Investments should be prudent and disbursements should always take into account the child’s live expectancy, standard of living, etc. The trustee, if at all possible, would like to make sure that the special needs child does not outlive the funds in the trust. Taking on the role of a trustee in these situations needs to be taken seriously. Money can never be spent willy nilly. Joseph D.

Too many good times at Devir Park to recount. I still consider it my second home. Truth be told, back in the old days, Devir Park took on a different persona when the sun set. Unlike daylight hours when all were welcome, nighttime was by invite only. You had to have a connection: an older brother or cousin; you had to be from the neighborhood; or you had to be familiar with the traditional Devir Park pecking order. Sometimes you needed all three to join in on the fun. This afterhours hang was generational, handed down instinctually from one generation to the other. The young’uns knew enough to leave the Bandstand to the big kids until they said it was okay to join in or until they decided to vacate – for a house party, night club or up to Amerige or the Rez for more “privacy.” You waited patiently until it was your time to sit on those beerdrenched steps. So, with that said, I present to you a look at the flip side of our childhood at Devir Park. Not everybody felt warm and fuzzy about the hijinks that went on there. The Malden Evening News was our trusted source of information back when they were located on Ferry Street and David Brickman was our Walter Cronkite – no fake news. They ran a column called “Our Readers Write...Gripes, Groans, and Cheers.” It allowed Maldonians the opportunity (before social media reared its ugly head) to weigh in on anything their little hearts desired. “Mr. & Mrs. Name Withheld Upon Request” made quite a splash with the Devir Park Bandstand denizens when the letter below was originally printed in 1972. Speculation ran wild during that humid summer on who the letter writer was. Here for your reading pleasure is that same letter which caused such a ruckus those many years ago: “Devir Park Rowdies Draw Harsh Complaint “Whatever happened to the citizen’s right to quiet and peace in the night, or for that matter, the law that is supposed to guarantee against the breaking of the peace. “Ask the Mayor’s Office, Police Dept., the Registry of Motor Vehicles, or your local political reps. I did and found a not too lovely ring of undelegated authority; no one wants to take the reality of the situation; they all seem to pretend that it doesn’t exist or else is someone’s responsibility other than themselves. “The disturbances of the peace that I speak of are the loud, obscene shouting of what I would term potential class one bums, who constantly make their headquarters about Devir Park in Malden at the Medford line at night. “I am complaining about their illegal use of horns and loud mufflers on vehicles; drinking in vehicles and in the park; breaking of bottles; racing and screeching brakes; public urinating; obstructing and blocking traffic; loud radios and shouting; constant defiance of park rules, and the rights of their fellow citizens to peace in the night; and God only knows what else may be happening at all hours of the night. And I mean until two or three in the morning, practically every evening. “I also am complaining about the parents who drop their offspring off so they may join the night with their chums’ loud voices. The police on duty who I think are trying to do their jobs as best they can, say they can’t remove licenses or registrations for motor vehicle law breaking, nor can they arrest for loitering in the public park after dark. They say they can only suggest these people move on. Usually, this means to move to another position or to another night as I see it. “The police are weary of responding to calls that place them a little above a wearying babysitting duty. The mayor’s office decides that this is strictly a police situation and doesn’t seem to care about the cost to the taxpayers or police necessity to make repetitive calls every evening. The local rep makes an attempt to speak to some of these people periodically, prodded by citizens’ sharp and persisting complaint. “I was told that it will not do any good to make arrests, the very good judge just won’t cooperate with police or allow the citizens the peace that the city ordinances are supposed to guarantee. “Why can’t the mayor have installed and posted no parking signs around the park area at night which state a fine on parked vehicles. Maybe the mayor could install a no loitering at night rule in public parks to read ‘no loitering or around the streets directly adjacent to the park’ and throw in a fine payable immediately. Also, enable police to deliver people under 18 to their parents and present their parents with the fine. On the other hand, if they insist park areas to be open ’til three in the morning at least station a police officer to uphold the law and guarantee the peace. “Also, this stupidity of allowing public drinking on the streets or in parked cars or in city parks should cease especially when young boys and girls are involved with older people.” (Name on file but withheld by request)” Postscript: The Golden Tornadoes Sports Hall of Fame Induction Banquet is always a fun time! This year it is at Anthony’s on Canal Street on Saturday, November 18: reception at 6, dinner at 6:30, ceremony at 7. Tickets are $60 with a table of 10 going for a measly $550. This year is a special year because it features none other than my big brother Joe. Joe is the City of Malden Recreation Director (and much more) and is being inducted as a “Distinguished Service” inductee for his (basically) lifetime of involvement with Malden High School (and beyond) athletes. A mentor to generations of MHS student athletes – Joe’s dedication to the youth of Malden is legendary. Joe and Dana Brown brought the girls basketball program back to life in the 1990s, inspiring generations of girl athletes to go on and excel well after high school. Inspiring those generations to give back to the city, just as Joe has for decades now. Leading by example. Congratulations, “Chills!” MUSINGS| SEE PAGE 23

Page 20 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 3, 2023 avy n v y y avvyavvy S oravvy S ioreniioor io iori by Jim Miller Top TV Remotes for Elderly Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some simplified universal television remotes for seniors? My 88-year-old dad, who lives in a retirement community, has some dementia and gets confused with all the buttons on his remote. As a result, he keeps accidently reprograming his TV set. Searching Son Dear Searching, Most modern TV remotes – that come with dozens of unnecessary buttons – can be confusing for anyone to operate but can be especially challenging for elderly seniors. Fortunately, there are several universal TV remotes available that are specifi cally designed for older adults with vision, memory, or confusion issues, as well as those that are technologically challenged. These remotes have bigger buttons and paired down options that make them much easier to see and use. Here are three top choices to consider. Senior-Friendly Remotes The two most popular simplifi ed TV remotes on the market today are the “Flipper” and the “EasyMote.” Both of these are infrared (IR) only remotes intended for those who use traditional cable/satellite boxes or their TV’s internal tuner. They are not designed for people who use streaming media devices and will not work with devices that are controlled via Bluetooth or radio frequency (RF). If you’re not sure how your dad’s TV is controlled, point his remote at the ground in the opposite direction from the device, and then press a button. If the remote still executes the command, then it’s using Bluetooth or Radio Frequency (RF) signals. The Flipper, which is a top-rated remote, works with all major TVs including cable, satellite and digital TV receiver boxes. Available for $40 at FlipperRemote.com, this lightweight, remote has a tapered design that makes it easy to hold, and for simplicity it has only six large color-coded tactile buttons that are exposed to control the power, mute, volume up/down, and channel up/down. Flipper also off ers an optional “favorite channel” feature that will let you program up to 30 of your dad’s favorite channels and eliminate the useless channels he never watches. And it has a built-in keypad hidden behind a slide-down panel. This will give your dad the ability to directly punch in a desired channel, while keeping the remote simple and uncluttered. The Flipper remote can also be locked to prevent accidental reprograming. The other popular senior-friendly remote that’s worth a look is the EasyMote (see EasyMote.us), which is available on Amazon.com for $18. This lightweight remote, which controls most TV and cable boxes, also comes with six large easy-to-see buttons (on/off , mute, channel up and down, and volume up and down buttons) that light up when pressed, which is nice feature if your dad watches TV in the dark. It also comes with a handy wrist strap to prevent misplacing the remote but can be removed anytime. Multi-Device Remote If the Flipper or EasyMote is too basic for your dad’s entertainment system, another simplifi ed remote that off ers the ability to control multiple devices is the “GE Big Button 2-Device Universal Remote” – also available at Amazon.com for $9. This IR remote has an ergonomic design with large buttons that will let him control up to 2 audio/video components such as TV, cable/satellite receiver, Blu-ray/DVD player, Roku box, Apple TV and other streaming media players and sound bars. In addition to power, volume, channel, mute buttons and number pad, this remote also off ers a previous channel, sleep timer and input buttons for convenience.

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.
