Mayor endorses Yes on Question 3 Initiative supports family-owned small businesses and customer convenience without sacrifi cing safety alden Mayor Gary Christenson has announced his support for the approval of Question 3 on November’s ballot. The question would update Massachusetts’s liquor laws to enhance consumer convenience while protecting small businesses. A yes vote on Question 3 would modernize state laws to allow for the safe expansion of alcohol licenses, allow valid out-of-state IDs to be relied upon by a retailer of alcohol beverages and provide best practice fi xes to the current system to prevent illegal sales. “We thank Mayor Christenson for voicing his support for Question 3,” said Rob Mellion of the 21st Century Alcohol Retail Reform Committee. “A yes vote on Question 3 provides for the changes that family-owned alcohol retail stores need to fairly compete with large corporations that are mostly headquartered outside of Massachusetts, while also benefi tting adult consumers.” About Question 3: Question 3 calls for the state to progressively double the number of allowed beer and wine licenses Gary Christenson Mayor $5.05 GALLON We accept: MasterCard * Visa * & Discover Price Subject to Change without notice 100 Gal.

Additionally, the ballot question also would allow valid outof-state IDs to be relied upon by a retailer of alcohol beverages, as they are allowed in every other state in the country and already are permitted in Massachusetts for the sale of cannabis. Question 3 will appear on the ballot with the title “Changes to Alcohol Retail Licensing Initiative.” For additional information, visit yeson3mass.com.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 4, 2022 ~ Guest Commentary ~ Page 3 50 Million Reasons to Vote for Dombroski for State Senate By Ed Dombroski, Candidate for State Senate, Fifth Middlesex District O n a gray, drizzly Monday morning in mid-October I stood outside Malden High School talking with teachers who were then holding signs and on strike, seeking a new contract. Of the many conversations I had that day, there was one term that dominated nearly all of them – “Chapter 70.” This reference, Chapter 70, is the section of the law that provides school funding to cities and towns across Massachusetts, using a pre-determined formula. And, that formula is broken. Especially for Malden, a community that I believe is getting shortchanged compared to many other communities. Later that same night I took the stage in the only debate my opponent, Sen. Jason Lewis, would agree to participate in. During our limited 60 minutes, I spent much of the time focused on the fact that the Chapter 70 school funding “formula” in the current state budget only provides Malden $54 Million in school funding for 6,101 enrolled students. In comparison, Chelsea is receiving $104 Million in funding despite educating 27 fewer students. And, Revere is receiving $84 Million for about 1,000 more students than Malden. While all three communities are not exactly the same, there is enough similarity between them to expect fairly comparable state aid. Malden is one of the most diverse communities in Massachusetts. In fact, Malden High School consistently ranks as one of the top two most diverse public-school communities of the 351 cities and towns across Massachusetts. Malden’s racial, cultural, and economic diversity creates unique challenges to ensure every student’s distinct needs are properly met. And, with these challenges often come the need for additional resources. Yet, Malden’s school funding allocation is $50 Million less than Chelsea and $30 million less than Revere. This really means one thing – Malden is getting short-changed. Malden only receives about onehalf of what Chelsea does per student and only about twothirds of what Revere receives per student. School Department budgets drive any city or town’s overall budget. So, when state aid is insuffi cient to cover education spending, who is forced to make up the shortfall? Yes, you, the Malden taxpayer. ably budget in a way that ensures fi scal responsibility, shows respect for our educators, and prioritizes education. I’m ready to tackle this school funding imbalance that is having a crippling eff ect on Malden and am dedicated to doing all that I can to get it right. As your next state Senator, I’m committed to fi ghting for you and the Malden community on this issue and your other priorities. You deserve someone who will be your strong voice on Beacon Hill, work hard to fi x what is broken, and deliver meaningful results. That’s what you expect, and deserve, in your next state Senator. I’m asking for your vote on Tuesday, November 8th. AUTOTECH DRIVE IT - PUSH IT - TOW IT! Cold Hard Cash for Your Vehicle!

It doesn’t need to be this way. My opponent, Jason Lewis, often tries to take credit for reforming the Chapter 70 school funding formula in his role on the Joint Committee on Education in the Legislature. But, these huge diff erences in school funding show Sen. Lewis has not fought for Malden, the only city he represents of these three. After 13 years in the Legislature my opponent has had plenty of time to fi ght for more school funding for Malden and a better-allocated Chapter 70 formula. But, as this latest budget confirms, he hasn’t delivered for you. The Chapter 70 funding allocation needs to be fi xed. The alternative is rising property taxes and fewer resources for our students, teachers, and schools.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 4, 2022 ~ Political Endorsement ~ Page 5 Maura Healey Endorses State Senator Jason Lewis for Re-election B OSTON, MA – State Senator Jason Lewis is proud to be endorsed for re-election by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey. Healey is also the Democratic nominee and frontrunner to be the next Governor of the Commonwealth. “I’m proud to endorse Senator Jason Lewis for re-election because we can count on him to advocate for strong public schools and work to grow our economy,” said Attorney General Maura Healey. “I’m looking forward to partnering with him to deliver results and make housing, healthcare, and childcare more aff ordable for all.” “Maura Healey has been incredibly eff ective as our Attorney General and I’m thrilled at the prospect of her serving as our next Governor,” said State Senator Jason Lewis. "We have built a strong relationship and I’m very much looking forward to working together to expand opportunities for all our residents and continue to tackle the challenges facing our communities.” Senator Lewis serves as the Senate Chair of the Education Committee, and led the eff ort to pass the Student Opportunity Act, landmark legislation that dramatically increased state funding for our public schools in order to ensure that all students have the resources they need to thrive. Senator Lewis was also named a Bostonian of the Year by the Boston Globe in 2018 for his leadership in creating the strongest Paid Family & Medical Leave program in the nation. This means that Massachusetts families don’t have to choose between earning a paycheck and caring for a newborn baby or a sick family member. Senator Lewis has represented the Fifth Middlesex District in the state Senate since 2014. He is facing Republican Ed Dombroski, a Wakefi eld Town Councilor, in the upcoming election. Senator Lewis has been endorsed by all the other members of the Wakefield Town Council.

Angie Dickinson’s 91st birthday on Sept 30. The 1965 undefeated Malden Catholic football team was a team for the ages. I am still on schedule for a sit down with Steve Wishoski to continue the discussion on this team and dissect it a little bit more. In the meantime, I have this testimonial submitted by a friend, Paul Worth. When the Levines bought on Charles Street in 1963, our nextdoor neighbors at the time, the Worths and the Mahoney’s, greeted us like long lost kinsman. As time marched on, we remained friends until the inevitable changing of guards. Like the Garritys, O’Connors, Govers, and Longs before them, the Worths/Mahoneys pulled up stakes and new friends were made. Paul Worth, a few years older than me but like his sisters Mary and Clare, great neighbors that I have a trunk load of memories of. Paul went on to excel in football at Malden Catholic. Big and strong I’d watch him trudge home every night, helmet in hand, covered with turf from head to toe. Paul was a dirt dog who stuck his nose in every play. Through the miracle that is Facebook, I reached out to him for a comment or two on that 1965 team. Paul’s thoughts: “Great football team. I know everyone talks about Frank ‘Red’ Harris and rightfully so as he was a great QB. To me, watching, I always felt Richie Cullen and Neil Hurley were the true catalysts of that team. They were both incredible athletes and great football players. All 3 had incredible college careers as well, Red at BC, Neil at Harvard, and Richie at BU. Imagine 3 Division 1 College football players on the same high school team? Incredible! I’d come home after those night games at the old Brother Gilbert Stadium, and I would dive into the leaves in the front yard and make believe I was Neil Hurley going in for the TD. But I really liked watching Richie Cullen play defense, so tough and fast. That was the thing about that team, they had speed everywhere. Steve Wishoski was the MUSINGS | SEE PAGE 7

As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character “Columbo” would say “Just one more thing, sir” – in the “they don’t make men like these anymore” department I bring to you a testimonial about Silver Star winner Torbert ‘Torby’ Macdonald brought to you by Alan Frazer in his Boston Evening American column called “My Boston” dated Tuesday, January 30, 1951: “War clouds – Torby Macdonald, Harvard football captain in ’39, is in Europe with Congressman John F Kennedy who is studying conditions in all countries this side of the Iron Curtain. The pair will return in about a week…Torby’s wife is Phyllis Brooks, the former stage and screen star. In her husband’s absence, Phyllis has whipped up a promising TV show which she is launching today on WBZ with herself both as producer and emcee. She is sponsored by the kid leather people. MCAS | FROM PAGE 1 ed numbers statewide. The Malden district results bucked the statewide trend reported out in late September by Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) Commissioner Jeffrey Riley, who said that statewide there had been a “pandemic slide” in MCAS results overall. While drops in Math and Science scores were smaller than those matching the pre-pandemic, 2019 results, many districts experienced “significant” drops in scores in English reading and writing MCAS testing, Riley reported officially in September. “Overall, we’ve seen drops across the board in the Commonwealth and everyone is going to have to step forward and work on our kids’ mental health and on their academic needs going forward,” Riley said after making his presentation of MCAS results from 2022 at the DESE monthly meeting in September. On the contrary, many of the grade and subject matter breakdowns in Malden showed significant improvements in MCAS results from just a year ago in 2021 to this year, 2022. Additionally, particularly at the higher grade levels, many of the Malden MCAS results had either reached or came close to reaching the pre-pandemic levels of 2019. The DESE board found that Math scores for grades three to eight dropped on average “Before leaving for Europe Torby, although a disabled (and decorated) PT-boat skipper, reactivated his commission as a lieutenant com in the Naval Reserve. When he carried this news home to Phyllis in Malden, she became greatly upset. ‘Don’t you know you’ve got two small children upstairs?’ she asked Torby. Torby waited until Phyllis had cooled off and then said: ‘Did you ever stop to think that it’s because of my two small children upstairs?’ “Torby continued to Phyllis: ‘I see all these high school kids, fine, sturdy boys but so very young, and I think back to when I was a kid and how little I knew about fighting a war. They are all swell but as far as I am concerned, they’re too young to be plunged right into war and it seems to me it’s up to us men who’ve already learned by experience.’ “Phyllis agreed. If her husband is called out, she will raise no obstacle to his going.” “The Macdonald children will be of draft age some day and maybe that’s what Torby envisioned. Today, they’re only 5 (that’s Torby, Jr.) and 3 ½ (that’s Laurie). Little Torby says his own prayers but when his dad left for around 16 percentage points and 7 percentage points for grade 10 compared to the scores from 2019. The MCAS testing was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic. In Malden, most of the grade levels’ performances were either improved from last year’s 2021 results or inching closer – or meeting – the 2019 results. “Our data is good. Our educators and administrators and most importantly – our students – should be extraordinarily proud,” said Malden Ward 5 School Committee member Adam Weldai. In Malden, Math scores stayed level in tenth grade while improving in the third through eighth grades. Fifth and eighth grades Science scores also improved. Supt. Noriega-Murphy told the School Committee that while the district was pleased by the overall MCAS results, there “is still much room for improvement in our district.” She also noted that the improvements “have also established a new baseline for our district. There will be no returning to the [lower MCAS results].” Dr. Noriega-Murphy said she and her staff are preparing another detailed, analytical presentation on MCAS results for the next Malden School Committee meeting – set for Monday, November 7 in the Malden City Hall City Council Chambers at 6:00 p.m. Europe with Jack Kennedy, Phyllis suggested: ‘Why don’t you ask God to keep Daddy safe?’ This is the prayer Torby, Jr. improvised: ‘Please take care of my Daddy in airplanes and autos and trains and everywhere, and God, I ain’t kiddin’.” Just for the record not only did Malden’s Torby Macdonald receive the Silver Star but he was also awarded a Purple Heart, a Presidential Unit Citation, an Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, an American Campaign Medal, and a World War II Victory Medal. The Italian Heritage Society dedicated a memorial stone to Torby in 1984. Originally located at 200 Pleasant St. but moved to Macdonald Stadium when “The Beast That Ate Pleasant Street” came tumbling down, it was placed alongside the memorial stone of Torbert’s late father, John G. “Jack” Macdonald, for whom Macdonald Stadium is named. Take a moment next time you enter Macdonald Stadium – it’s on the left as you enter – and reflect on the greatest generation and their heroic impact that all of us benefit from today. “Damn the torpedoes, Full speed ahead!” Torbert ‘Torby’ Macdonald, always remembered within these 1,500 words called “Malden Musings.” Postscript: I printed the following a little while back, but I feel an obligation to continue to remind Maldonians of the great men (and women) that came before us. Torby’s daughter Laurie had this to say about her famous dad: “As for the history, for the record, my father was President Kennedy’s roommate at Harvard, and life-long close friend. They both joined the navy, and both were PT Boat captains in WWII. My father was Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call looks at an important but little-known roll call vote from 2019 related to Question 1 on the November ballot. BEHIND THE SCENES ON QUESTION 1 The fi rst question on the November ballot asks voters if they favor a proposed constitutional change that would allow a graduated income tax in Massachusetts and impose an additional 4 percent income tax, in addition to the current fl at 5 percent one, on taxpayers’ earnings of more than $1 million annually. Language in the change requires that “subject to appropriation, the revenue will go to fund quality public education, aff ordable public colleges and universities, and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation.” Supporters say the change will aff ect only 18,000 extremely wealthy individuals and will generate up to $2 billion annually in additional tax revenue. They argue that using the funds for education and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation will benefi t millions of Bay State taxpayers. They note the hike would help lower income families which are now paying a higher share of their income in taxes. Opponents argue the new tax will result in the loss of 9,500 private sector jobs, $405 million annually in personal disposable income and some millionaires moving out of state. They say that the earmarking of the funds for specific projects is a phony sham and argue all the funds will go into the General Fund and be up for grabs for anything. While considering the measure in 2019, Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading) off ered an amendment that was defeated 34-123 by the House and 6-33 by the Senate. The amendment would have required that the revenue generated by the 4 percent tax be in addition, not in lieu of, the amount of funding for education and transportation that the Legislature already spends on those two areas. Amendment supporters said this will prevent a “bait and switch” scenario in which $1.9 billion in new revenue from the 4 percent tax is dedicated to transportation and education but then the Legislature takes money out of the money currently spent in those areas and spends it elsewhere. The net result would be that the $1.9 billion would be essentially spent in other areas rather than the two promised ones. Amendment opponents said the intent of the amendment is clear and SKATING CENTER www.Roller-World.com 781-231-1111 HELP WANTED Earn $16.

They argued that the proposal is on solid ground and that there is no need to add this language. “Question 1 supporters claim all of the revenues generated through the proposed surtax on income above $1 million will go to education and transportation, but the truth is this funding would be ‘subject to appropriation,' which means the Legislature can spend it any way it wants,” said Jones. “I off ered the amending language requiring that any revenues raised be allocated ‘in addition to’ and not ‘in lieu of’ funding that is already being spent in these two areas. Voters have an expectation that Question 1 will provide for increased spending on education and transportation, and my amendment would have off ered some degree of certainty that that will actually happen. Without this stipulation, I’m afraid voters are being sold a false bill of goods that could result in a ‘bait and switch’ that provides no net increase in education or transportation spending.” “The Jones amendment, twice proposed and defeated…during the constitutional amendment debates, was intended to codify proponents’ alleged intent and assurances and hold them to it,” said Chip Ford, executive director of Citizens for Limited Taxation which opposed and defeated the last two graduated income tax ballot questions to amend the state constitution in 1976 and 1994. “The amendment would have enshrined in this constitutional amendment what is being blithely asserted by proponents, that all new revenue from the potential surtax on millionaires would supplement rather than supplant existing spending on transportation and education. If anyone needs evidence that this is a 'bait and switch' scam to deceive voters, they need look no further than those two defeats of that one amendment.” “This amendment that was off ered and rejected, would have held accountable the proponent’s claim that this 80 percent income tax hike would be used for the additional spending on education and transportation,” said Paul Craney, spokesperson for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “It failed because the Legislature cannot be bound by a ballot question for how it spends our tax dollars. If Question 1 is passed, there is absolutely no guarantee this 80 percent income tax hike would be used on additional spending for transportation and education.” Three key players who support Question 1 did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on the Jones’ amendment, including Questions 1’s co-sponsors Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester) and Rep. Michael O’Day (D-West Boylston),as well as Andrew Farnitano, spokesperson for the “Yes on Question 1” campaign. (Here is how your local legislators voted on the Jones amendment that would require the revenue generated by the 4 percent tax be in addition, not in lieu of, the amount of funding for education and transportation that the Legislature already spends on those two areas. A “Yes” vote is for the Jones amendment. A “No” vote is against the Jones amendment. Please note that this is not a vote on Question 1 itself, but rather a vote on the Jones amendment). Rep. Paul Donato No Rep. Steven Ultrino No Sen. Jason Lewis No ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL STEP THERAPY (H 4929) – The House and Senate approved and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker a bill that limits the use of health care plan mandated prescription drug “step therapy” protocols and provides more exemptions to the mandate. Step therapy requires the patient to try less expensive options before “stepping up” to drugs that cost more. Conditions which would exempt a patient from trying the less expensive drug fi rst include if the treatment will harm the patient, or if the patient previously tried the required treatment, or similar treatment, and it was ineff ective. Supporters said that insurers that utilize step therapy protocols require medical providers to prescribe lower-cost medications to patients fi rst, and only grant approval for alternative medications when the cheaper options have failed to improve a patient's condition. This results in insurers effectively choosing medications for the patient, even in cases where their providers have recommended an alternative. When patients change insurers, they are often forced to start at the beginning of the step therapy protocol again, which results in wasteful health care expenditures, lost time for patients and potentially devastating health care impacts on the patient. “Today, we are taking action to ensure that patients with complicated illnesses receive the medications that their doctors know they need—not repeatedly taking medications that are ineff ective,” said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro), Senate Chair of Committee on Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Recovery. “Waiting for treatment to fail fi rst before utilizing a preferred medication often leads to worsening symptoms that cause complications and needless suff ering for patients. It is a shortsighted practice that puts paBHRC | SEE PAGE 9 Monogram D4 Double siding Cedar impression half rounds Harvey Vinyl 64 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

Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “This bill is a major step forward in ensuring patients and doctors have access to the right medication at the right time,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate Chair of the Committee on Health Care Financing. “We are fi nally joining over half the states in the nation in reforming step therapy practices, putting the focus back on health care providers working with patients to offer the best treatment possible.” SPEECH PATHOLOGISTS (H 5094) – The Senate approved a bill that would allow fully licensed speech pathologists to be granted a provisional license to practice in Massachusetts during their 36-month fellowship. Currently, Massachusetts is one of only eight states that does not provide a provisional license that allows their students to begin practicing during their fellowship. Supporters said that by forbidding their right to practice during their 36-month fellowship, the state runs the risk of losing professionals educated in the Bay State to other states where they become valuable members of their community and welcomed additions to the economy. “The commonwealth has faced a shortage of the vital services our speech language pathologists provide our public-school children—an issue we should not have in a state that is home to eight graduate programs in the fi eld,” said sponsor Rep. Paul McMurtry (D-Dedham). “This legislation will assure we do not lose these talented professionals to other states during their 36-month fellowship by providing them with provisional licensure to practice during that time.” The House has already approved the measure and only fi nal approval in each branch is needed for the bill to go to Gov. Baker. ROSA PARKS DAY (H 3189) – The House approved and sent to the Senate legislation that would designate February 4th as Rosa Parks Day, in recognition of the historic civil rights leader. Parks famously refused to give her bus seat up to a white man On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama. Co-sponsor Rep. Mike Kushmerek (D-Fitchburg) said he co-sponsored the measure in order to bring awareness and representation to the heroic actions of Rosa Parks during the Civil Rights Movement. “February 4th is the birthday of Rosa Parks, so it will be a great reminder to all those within the commonwealth to refl ect on the role she played in raising international awareness of the struggles for civil rights…I am ecstatic that the house has acknowledged the importance of honoring Rosa Parks." “Rosa Parks was a hero of the civil rights movement whose small but courageous act to challenge segregation kindled and continues to inspire the fi ght for justice and equality of all peoples,” said co-sponsor Rep. Kip Diggs (D-Barnstable). SEXUAL ASSAULT COUNSELORS (H 5363) – The House approved and sent to the Senate a proposal that would create a task force on sexual assault counselors to make recommendations on establishing statewide certifi - cation and updating training standards for sexual assault counselors. “The standards for training and certifi cation haven’t been updated in decades and sexual violence survivor serving organizations are interested in creating a consensus around updating those standards through this task force before fi ling new legislation,” said co-sponsor Rep. Natalie Higgins (D-Leominster) … “I worked and volunteered as a sexual violence counselor for nearly a decade across two diff erent organizations in two counties and support the eff orts to reconsider the minimum standards of training.” “While we are proud to have systems in place to provide services to victims of sexual assault here in Massachusetts, we must make sure that those who victims turn to at their most vulnerable moments are properly trained and qualifi ed for the sensitive work they do,” said co-sponsor Sen. Michael Moore (D-Millbury). “This legislation will ensure that all rape crisis centers and sexual assault counsellors will meet the same strict standards, regardless of how their service is provided.” SIKH MONTH (H 4569) – The House approved and sent to the Senate legislation making the month of April Sikh Appreciation Month in recognition of the signifi cant contributions Sikhs have made to the Bay State and to the 3.50 BHRC | SEE PAGE 16 %APY* 36 Month CD Missing Out Doesn’t Add Up.

The measure in Malden was passed by a vote of 666 - 151, with only 2% of eligible voters voting. What voters were not told before the vote was that the proposed new building would be built on top of a hillside, while student parking would be at the bottom of the hill, 60 feet below the elevation of the school. This will necessitate students walking up and down 105 steps every day, regardless of the weather and/or time of day. Voters were also not told that the site chosen is a relatively pristine forested hillside, which was originally part of Breakheart Reservation. The forest has documented vernal pools, essential habitat for many threatened species, and also hosts a population of Whip-poor-wills, a Species of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Adjacent to the forest, and likely to be aff ected by the blasting that will be done to level part of the site, is breeding habitat for Prairie Warblers, Field Sparrows, Eastern Towhees, and Brown Thrashers, all of which are Species of Greatest Concern in Massachusetts as scrubland disappears from the Commonwealth. Finally, voters were also not told that the proposed site on top of the hill was chosen over another site which had previously been recommended in a preliminary feasibility study in 2016. That site would be at the same elevation as the parking lot, and would be more cost-effi - cient (since it would not require blasting of the hilltop). It also would not destroy a pristine forest, the vernal pools found within it, and critical habitat for species of concern. Vocational school students should have up-to-date facilities in which to learn, but do Malden residents want our children to have to climb the equivalent of six stories to get to school every day? Furthermore, do we want to destroy a pristine forest and the creatures in it, when a better and less expensive alternative exists?

The two families and their new homes were showered in gifts and blessings. Attendees were also invited to tour a current Habitat Greater Boston project next door where five townhomes are under construction. After receiving triple the number of qualified applicants per unit, Habitat is thrilled to be welcoming five new partner families into their homeownership program very soon. “We are so happy to welcome these two families to our diverse, vibrant neighborhood in Malden,” said Mayor Christenson. “Habitat Greater Boston knows what it means to integrate and engage with the communities where they build – it’s been a pleasure having them in Malden, and we can’t wait for the next project!” The dedication ceremony featured a brief speaking program, blessings of both homes, and refreshments. Habitat Greater Boston volunteers, funders, and Malden project supporters were in attendance. Public officials who attended the event included State Senator Jason Lewis, State Representatives Paul Donato and Kate Lipper-Garabedian, City Councillors Craig Spadafora, Steve Winslow and Karen Colon Hayes, and School Committee members Sharyn Rose Zeiberg and Keith Bernard. “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Habitat’s mission to Malden,” said Habitat Greater Boston President & CEO Jim Kostaras. He emphasized that the work of Habitat is “not a hand-out, but a handup,” and that each partner family must complete 300 hours of sweat equity working on their home, attend homeownership preparedness classes, and cover the 0% interest mortgage and home closing costs. “One of the best parts is when my mom comes to visit,” said Cynthia, one of the proud new homeowners. “You can see the pride radiating through her as she comes through my door.” Habitat Greater Boston is stepping up to meet the need for affordable homeownership and has plans underway to build six units in Weston, four homes in Roslindale, and seven units in Dorchester next year.

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 4, 2022 Visiting Revere shuts down injured Malden Golden Tornadoes look to get healthy to fi nish season in a winning frame of mind By Joe McConnell W ith the statewide high school football playoffs beginning this weekend with the Round of 16 games, the Malden Golden Tornadoes (2-4 in the Greater Boston League [GBL], 3-5 overall) are on the outside looking in while trying to get healthy for the consolation games. Malden decided to opt out of the fi rst week of non-playoff games to get healthier – to, hopefully, get some of the injured players back on the fi eld this year. The season offi cially wraps up against Medford on Thanksgiving Day. The Golden Tornadoes dropped to 27th in the latest Division 3 power rankings out of 31 teams. They were ranked 26th two weeks ago. Malden’s most recent loss was against the Revere Patriots (4-2 in the GBL, 4-4 overall), who upended them last Friday night (Oct. 28), 23-0, at MacDonald Stadium. When summarizing this game, Malden’s recent narrative remains the same, and there’s nothing coach Witche Exilhomme can do about it. “We just need to get healthy to get some bodies back,” he said after the Revere game. “Injuries are simply our biggest obstacle right now.” But it’s not all bad news for Malden. After senior linebacker John Lloyd left the Revere game with an injury in the fi rst quarter, sophomore backup Matt Brito stepped up big, according to Exilhomme. Brito was credited with two sacks, six tackles and two forced fumbles. “We also struggled to get anything going against Revere after our junior starting center Karl Lange and starting sophomore quarterback Aidan Brett left the game with injuries in the second quarter,” said Exilhomme. “We have a bye week this week to, hopefully, get healthy, but if Brett is out for next week’s game, freshman Matthew Stelmach will step in for him,” added Exilhomme. “If this group had stayed healthy this year, we would be getting ready for the playoff s right now, possibly also being among the top fi ve teams Julia Kerans By Emily Brennan M ystic Valley Regional Charter School earned a 6-0 win Tornado QB Aiden Brett in Division 3. I had high hopes for this club.” Nonetheless, the 2022 Division 3 power rankings prior to the postseason are as follows: Milton (7-0), North Attleborough (5-2), Plymouth South (8-0), Hanover (6-2), Walpole (7-1), Wakefield (8-0), Billerica (8-0), Marblehead (6-1), Whitman-Hanson (4-4), Westfi eld (62), Masconomet Regional (5-3), Somerset-Berkley Regional (53), Westwood (6-2), Revere (4-4), Silver Lake Regional (2-6), Oliver Ames (3-5), Minnechaug (4-4), Agawam (4-4), Stoughton (2-6), Norwood (3-5), Dartmouth (35), West Springfi eld (3-5), Shepherd Hill Regional (2-6), Plymouth North (0-8), Sharon (5-3), Lynn English (4-4), Malden (35), Fitchburg (2-6), Holyoke (17), Somerville (1-7) and Westborough (0-8). The 2022 MIAA North football non-playoff schedule for Week 9 is as follows: Haverhill at St John’s of Shrewsbury, Lexington at Lowell, Acton-Boxborough at Newton South, Lawrence at Malden Catholic, Waltham at Belmont, Lincoln Sudbury at Cambridge Rindge & Latin, Winchester at Beverly, Arlington at Boston Latin, Lynn English at Salem, Somerville at Wayland, Medford at Burlington, Wilmington at Dracut, Danvers at North Andover, Gloucester at Essex, Pentucket at Northeast Voke, Ipswich at Whittier, Greater Lawrence at Saugus, Lynn Tech at Greater Lowell, Hamilton Wenham at O’Bryant, Boston English at Chelsea, Georgetown at Excel, and Minuteman at East Boston; opting out of Week 9 is Malden; weeks 9 and 10 is Roxbury Prep. against Northeast in the regular season fi nale on Thursday night at Eastern Avenue. Before the game, the team celebrated their six graduating seniors: Chloe Jones, Audrey Wherry, Isabella Elmoussaoui, Caroline Crowley, Sofi a Blandino, and Eudora Desir. The team fi nished the season 10-8-0 and has qualifi ed for the State Tournament. In the 20th minute, junior Reilly Hickey curled a kick inside the right post for her fi rst goal of the game. The Eagles kept their lead in the remaining minutes of the fi rst half after earning another goal by Hickey. Lucia Antonucci stepped up and fi red another goal into the bottom left corner to elevate the score to 3-0 at the end of the fi rst half. Alice Jones came up with a goal in the fi rst 12th minutes of the second half, with Niamh Stewart following with another. Julia Kerans fi nished the game with her fi rst goal of the season. Reilly Hickey had a team-high two goals for MVRCS. The team will play in the fi rst round of state tournament playoff s on Friday, November 2 at Eastern Avenue against Burke High School.

Christine Barber (D-Somerville). “April marks important celebrations for Sikhs, especially Vaisakhi, the spring festival celebrating the birth of Sikhism as a collective faith,” said co-sponsor Rep. Patricia Duff y (D-Holyoke). “It is a time to honor the Sikh values of truth, compassion, generosity, service and spirituality." QUOTABLE QUOTES “These facilities will provide a wonderful opportunity for our Massachusetts students and workers to get the hands-on skills training they need to enter into cybersecurity careers. At the same time, these new centers will offer cost-eff ective security monitoring to support small towns, businesses and nonprofi ts, protection that is becoming increasingly important for these institutions.” ---Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito announcing $3.7 million in state grants to promote the development of a diverse cybersecurity workforce and improve local cyber resiliency in the state. 2023 401(K) CONTRIBUTION LIMITS F or calendar year 2023, the IRS is increasing the amount employees participating in a company-sponsored 401(k) plan can contribute to $22,500. Approximately 60million Americans are participating in such plans in order to help provide for a comfortable retirement. The catchup contribution for 2023 will rise to $7,500 which allows for anyone 50 years of age or older to then max out on a 401(k) plan 2023 total contribution of $30,000. This is a substantial amount of money being contributed to your retirement while at the same time allowing for an income tax deduction as your taxable W-2 wages are reduced by the amount of the contribution. If your company off ers a Roth 401(K) component to the company-sponsored 401(k) plan, then you can decide how much to contribute to the deductible 401(k) portion and the non-deductible Roth 401(k) portion. Although you do not receive a current income tax deduction for Roth 401(k) contributions, you don’t have to worry about paying income taxes on the earnings when you ultimately withdraw those monies during your retirement years. Taxpayers can now contribute $6,500 in 2023 to a Traditional or Roth IRA. If 50 years of age or older, the catchup contribution remains at $1,000 allowing someone who is 50 years of age or older to contribute $7,500 to a Traditional IRA or Roth IRA. For taxpayers that are in their own business, a Solo 401(k) plan contribution limit for calendar year 2023 is now up to $66,000. If 50 years or older, the catchup contribution for 2023 is $7,500 allowing for a maximum 2023 contribution of $73,500. In 2023, the allowable deduction for taxpayers making contributions to a Traditional IRA is phased out for single taxpayers and heads of households who are active participants in a company-sponsored retirement plan with modified adjusted gross income between $73,000 and $83,000. For a married couple fi ling a joint return, in which the spouse who makes the IRA contribution is an active participant in a company-sponsored retirement plan, the deduction is phased out with income between $116,000 and $136,000. For a spouse not covered by such a plan but is married to someone that is, the deduction for a Traditional IRA contribution is phased out if the couple’s income is between $218,000 and $228,000. For 2023, depending upon your income, your ability to contribute to a Roth IRA is phased out for a married couple with income between $218,000 and $228,000 and for single taxpayers and heads of household, with income between $138,000 and $153,000. If you earn too much to contribute to a Roth IRA, you can contribute to a non-deductible IRA and then several years later convert it to a Roth IRA. They refer to this as a “back-door” Roth IRA. This way, down the line you do not have to worry about paying taxes on the earnings when you make withdrawals. Joseph D.

The current generation of students is going to lead our way forward. At Framingham State, students in our Department of Environmental Science and Policy and Department of Environment, Society and Sustainability are gaining the skills, techniques and knowledge to solve the major social-environmental problems of our planet. ---Framingham State University President Dr. Nancy Niemi on the university being recognized as one of the nation’s most environmentally responsible colleges for the 11th time by The Princeton Review. “Our ability to provide the kind of care that residents need in order to live healthy and productive lives is directly impacted by the policies and funding provided by our federal government.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 4, 2022 avy eniiooravvy S iorn or avvyavy vvy io iori by Jim Miller What You’ll Pay for Medicare in 2023 Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve read that retirees will be getting a nice cost-of-living increase in our Social Security benefi ts next year but what about Medicare? What will our Medicare Part B monthly premiums and other Medicare costs be in 2023? Planning Ahead Dear Planning, From an entitlement program standpoint, 2023 is going to be a very good year for retirees! Not only will you receive a nice 8.7 percent cost-of-living increase in your Social Security retirement benefi ts – the largest since 1981 – the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services also recently announced that your Medicare Part B standard monthly premium will be lowered 3 percent ($5.20) from the current rate of $170.10 per month, to $164.90/month in 2023. The reason for the reduction is a correction to last year’s hefty Part B premium increase, which was larger than it needed to be. The 2022 premium hike of about 14.5 percent was announced amid uncertainty about the potential impact of a new Alzheimer’s drug called Aduhelm, which threatened to explode Medicare costs. That didn’t happen. The cost of the drug was cut roughly in half from an original $56,000 a year and Medicare sharply limited coverage. This created a large fi nancial reserve for Part B, allowing the program to reduce next year’s premium. You’ll also be happy to know that in addition to the premium reduction, the annual deductible for Medicare Part B will also be lowered $7 from $233 in 2022, to $226 in 2023. And if you have a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan, the average premium in 2023 will be about $31.50, which is a 1.8 percent decrease from $32.08 in 2022. But the news isn’t all rosy. The deductible for Medicare Part A (hospital coverage) per benefi t period (which generally starts when you are admitted to the hospital) will be $1,600 in 2023, up $44 from this year’s $1,556. That applies to the fi rst 60 days of inpatient care. For the 61st through 90th day, the coinsurance will be $400 per day, up from $389 this year. And for days 91 to 150, the charge will be $800 per day (up from $778 in 2022). And the skilled nursing facility coinsurance for days 21-100 will also increase to $200 per day, up from $194.50 in 2022. Wealthy Benefi ciary Breaks High earning Medicare benefi ciaries, which makes up about 7 percent of all Medicare recipients, will also receive a break in 2023. Medicare surcharges for high earners are based on adjusted gross income from two years earlier, which means that 2023 Part B premiums are determined by 2021 annual income. So, if your 2021 income was above $97,000 up to $123,000 ($194,000 up to $246,000 for married couples fi ling jointly), your 2023 Part B monthly premium will be $230.80, down from $238.10 in 2022. Monthly premiums for singles with an income between $123,000 and $153,000 ($246,000 and $306,000 for joint fi lers) will decrease from $340.20 to $329.70 in 2023. Individuals earning above $153,000 up to $183,000 ($306,000 to $366,000 for joint fi lers) will see their monthly premium decrease from $442.30 to $428.60 in 2023. Those with incomes above $183,000 up to $500,000 ($366,000 to $750,000 for joint fi lers), your 2023 Part B premium will be $527.50, down from $544.30 in 2022. And single fi lers with income of $500,000 or more ($750,000 or more for joint fi lers) will pay $560.50 per month next year, versus this year’s premium of $578.30. High-income benefi ciaries with a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan will also pay a little less next year. If your income was over $97,000 ($194,000 for joint fi lers) you’ll pay a $12.20 to $76.40 monthly surcharge on top of your regular Part D premiums based on your income level.
