THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 10, 2023 Page 3 Veterans Day Memorial Square Dedication and Memorial Service 2023 M ayor Gary Christenson and Director of Veterans Services Kevin Jarvis invite the public to honor a true Malden hero of World War II. The dedication of the CPL William T. J. Dempsey Memorial Square will take place on Veterans Day in Linden Square at the Northeast Corner of Lynn Street and Beach Street (across from the Dunkin’) this Saturday November 11, 2023, at 9 a.m. Following the Memorial Square Dedication, the Malden American Legion Post 69 will hold a Veterans Day Memorial Service to honor all of Malden’s Veterans at 10:30 a.m. at Bell Rock Park in front of the American Legion Post 69 (75 Meridian Street, Malden). Bill Dempsey is a beloved father, grandfather, educator and Veteran of World War II who was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Heroism, Gallantry and Valor while fi ghting against the Germans to liberate Europe during World War II. He is a graduate of Boston College who spent nearly 40 years in the Malden Public Schools as both an educator and principal of the Linden School. Every year he could be counted on to lead his fellow veterans at Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies, especially when he served as the Commander of the American Legion! Throughout his life CPL Bill Dempsey has honored his fallen comrades by decorating their graves in all our cemeteries throughout Malden. He is true inspiration and a “true Greatest Generation WWII hero” who has served our city and country, the American Legion and the Kiwanis Club with pride and distinction.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 10, 2023 ~ Malden Musings ~ “Mayor Gary Christenson Wins” By Peter Levine I t is said in Malden Musings... • Congratulations, Gary Christenson! You done it again, Mr. Mayor! The will of people sayeth, yes; in Gary we trust! The “GGG” movement just didn’t have enough get up and go, thus Malden continues to move forward with four more years of hizzoner, Gary “Boss Dawg of the Boneyard” Christenson!! They threw all the heavy hitters from that “GGG” nonsense at him but to no avail; Gary was just too darn popular for a couple of disgruntled Maldonians. I also firmly believe that the “debate” broadcast on MATV three or so weeks prior to the election exposed weaknesses and strengths of both candidates. A couple of dropped mic moments with G Force just hammering away with accomplishment after achievement after accomplishment from the past 12 years just overwhelming his opponent. Well played, Mayor G! Keep up the stellar work! Four more years! Four more years!! • My brother Joe and I had a short but delightful conversation recently on West Street with none other than the junior Senator from Massachusetts – our very own, Townsend Street’s Ed Markey! What a memory on this guy! We covered much territory in the short time we had together. We went down memory lane and caught up with a few current events before Ed needed to get back on the phone and back to work. Wished we could have spent more time with the “Pride of Edgeworth,” but his current workload (funding for Ukraine, funding for Israel, and mishegas in Congress) prevented him from chewing the fat with us for an extended period of time. Great to see you, Senator Markey; keep up the great work! • MHS Class of 1975’s Jack Freker knows Donnie Roach well. Jack was football captain in ’75, is a Princeton grad, a world traveler and a father (again) at age 64 (Goddess bless you on that one, Freck!) Jack weighed in on Donnie’s excellence as a human being and student-athlete: “Peter Levine thank you once again for your broad and in depth ‘reporting.’ Don Roach was a one-of-a-kind athlete and leader who left everything out on the field! I’ll add two Lawrence A. Simeone Jr. Attorney-at-Law ~ Since 1989 ~ * Corporate Litigation * Criminal/Civil * MCAD * Zoning/Land Court * Wetlands Litigation * Workmen’s Compensation * Landlord/Tenant Litigation * Real Estate Law * Construction Litigation * Tax Lein * Personal Injury * Bankruptcy * Wrongful Death * Zoning/Permitting Litigation 300 Broadway, Suite 1, Revere * 781-286-1560 lsimeonejr@simeonelaw.net facts…not mentioned here… Don is also a Middlebury College product (along with fellow classmate and 75’er Michael Souza) so quite a big brain on that athletic frame. Second point; year one camp, ‘first eva’ camp was rustic (cover up phrase for affordable and bare bones) Forest Hills which was up near Newfound Lake NH…year two camp (relatively luxurious) was Winchendon… the boyhood prep school of none other than Malden’s talented HS athlete and later football and basketball Coach Bill Hanifan!” • Mr. Malden Baseball himself, Bob Rotondi, also weighed in on Donnie Roach: “I can attest to the athleticism of Don Roach. Whatever the sport, the word is ‘determined.’ You just could not stop him. I had a ringside seat for many years, and he never disappointed. However, what I enjoyed most about Don’s performance was the smile that lit up the field/ rink/or court. He thrived on competition. Pick a decade or a sport – he’s a keeper!” Last week’s Malden Babe Ruth League Banquet aka the Malden Bob Rotondi League Banquet (Dave Allan trademarked) was a stone-cold blast!

Calvin was a very unique hoop player. He was a big man (think Charles Barkley/Glen “Big Baby” Davis), but he could run the court like a point guard, bang with the big dawgs, as well as possessing a deadly 25 footer! Calvin had amazing athleticism for a man his size as well as being a student of the game. Always a tough matchup because of his size and speed. Great job by the way at the forum, Calvin. Miss all those nights at Devir and Amerige! • My Arthur Boyle tribute column really hit home with many people. Eddie Galante: “Pete, I have a good Mr. Boyle story for you. We lived across the street from him on East Border Rd. One day he comes walking up my driveway a bit hunched over and in pain. He said, ‘Eddie come here please.’ He asked me to hold him around his back and shoulder, then he did a weird motion. He backs off and says thanks. His shoulder popped out of joint. I helped him pop it back into place. He walked back across the street and finished mowing his lawn. A tough dude for sure.” • Carl Chimi: “As a little kid I lived four or five houses up from the Boyles on East Border Road. Kathy was one of my very early friends. I chopped my right finger off on their seesaw and Mrs. Boyle bundled me up (I was about 4), got my mother, and drove me to the hospital where they saved my finger. Sewed it back on so well I play guitar with it. We moved away to Sterling Street. When I got to high school in 1968, Mr. Boyle loomed large as the vice-principal. He remembered me from when I was a kid and always said ‘hi’ and something encouraging, I think because he knew how troubled and shy, I was. One day, when I was a junior, a kid attacked me in Mr. Boyle’s outer office, and we started to get into it. I wasn’t shy about fighting. I was almost six feet and about 170 pounds. The other kid was a bit bigger than I was. Mr. Boyle calmly came out of his office, sized up the situation, and lifted us both up by our shirts off the floor and carried us into his office. He really was a giant, but he was a STRONG giant! I got detention and the other kid got suspended because he started the fight. Mr. Boyle, shortly afterwards, came to the detention room and told me he expected better from me because I had so much potential. Mr. Boyle and Mr. Duffy were the only teachers/staff who showed me they cared about me and acted like real people with me. I’ve always remembered that and have always honored their memories. I was a college professor for 30+ years and always kept them both in mind as I interacted with students. I’m really happy to read this remembrance of a man I admired who helped me through some difficult things just by showing he cared. Especially to a kid with a troubled home life, that can make all the difference.” • Son David (Boyle): “After reading the article, it brought back many memories. I think one thing that needs to be pointed out is that my mom was the ‘First Lady.’ Always by dad’s side through thick and thin. It was always Art and Peg. They were always together. One thing I like to point out is my license plate has been ‘BULL-35’ since my dad passed in 1984. It is a tribute to him. He was called ‘Big Bull’ and wore number 55 at BU. I always loved the number 35, so it was my way of remembering. I only wish my dad had met my wife, Karen. He would have loved her. My children also never met him, but they hear stories about him to this day. Last year, for the Malden – Medford game at Fenway, I rented a luxury box. My kids heard stories about my dad from a bunch of my 1979 classmates. It is a memory I will never forget. Thank you for allowing me a trip down memory lane. Those were some of the best times of my life.” • Congratulations to Jeanne MUSINGS| SEE PAGE 20

(Courtesy/Paul Hammersley Photo) over 20,000 times as the now four-time Malden Mayor has totaled a 21,304-8,618 margin of votes over those years. That means that in just under 30,000 votes cast, voters have marked his name on the ballot nearly 72 percent of the time – unprecedented in city history – in three of four consecutive mayoral elections where the race was contested. It is safe to say that Gary Christenson has been the overwhelming choice, as evidenced again by his latest victory, a 5,530-2,087 vote decision in Tuesday’s mayoral election, a convincing 71-28 percent win. The 71 percent of votes received and the 43 percent margin of victory both represent highwater marks in Mayor Christenson’s personal campaign highlight reel. In fact, the newest benchmarks are believed to be among the highest in Malden municipal election history for a contested race. Of course, when a three-term incumbent is challenged in an election, the opponent’s mantra is that change is needed, and “time for a change” is offered as the utmost priority for the good of the community. It was no diff erent in this election, as supporters of Mayor Christenson’s opponent put out a number of false claims and unfounded negative statements on social media. This Mayor, reelected to a fourth term by a personal high— In three terms of office Mayor Christenson has created and championed perhaps the most transparent municipal government in Malden’s history, its inner workings explained and detailed for all to see. — Since he was fi rst elected in 2011, the City of Malden, under Mayor Christenson’s leadership, has established new highs in maintaining an inclusive, equitable and welcoming city government, specifi cally in language accessibility to all city resources in what has become one of the most diverse communities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. — When he now will enter his historic, fourth consecutive four-year term in January, the Mayor continues to lead a city government based on widespread arms and an unwavering, encouraging call to all of Malden’s residents and diverse cultures: “Come with us, be a part of our mission of improvement and progress! We admire and respect you, we see you, please join us as we grow together, as one!” There is not a day in office, since he fi rst began serving as Mayor of Malden on January 1, 2012, where Gary Christenson has not given his all as this city’s leader. Change – solely for the sake of change – is not progress, nor was it for the city of Malden at this time, as Malden’s voters conFor more info, call (857) 249-7882

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 10, 2023 Page 9 MAYOR | FROM PAGE 1 o’clock and 7 o’clock tomorrow evening,” the mayor told them as they listened with rapt attention. “Those meetings represent the progress our city has made and will continue to make.” While some in the audience may have chuckled over this “agenda-ized” summary, they knew it was all true. Supporters say the industriousness of the man who will equal the longevity mark for serving in the City of Malden’s top post at the end of the upcoming term is unquestioned in these parts. Malden voters apparently acknowledged this and other facets of Mayor Christenson’s 12 years at the helm on Election Day. On Tuesday voters reelected him to an unprecedented fourth, four-year term on Election Day by a nearly three-toone margin, the biggest win of his four-election history. “I thank my family, my staff and all of my constituents for this show of support,” Mayor Christenson told those gathered at Anthony’s of Malden on Election Night, after his reelection was announced. “I promise I will continue to give you my all.” Christenson’s victory, according to the unoffi cial results released by the Malden City Clerk’s Offi ce shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday, showed an overwhelming victory where the incumbent received 5,530 votes to 2,087 for the challenger, fi rsttime candidate Lissette Aracely Alvarado. Christenson won every precinct in the city, in all eight Wards, on Tuesday, a resounding 71-28 percent win, his largest victory in the three contested races he has won in his four mayoral elections. He ran unopposed once, in 2015. He was fi rst elected mayor in 2011 with a 68-31 percent win over then Councillor-at-Large Deborah Fallon. In the last mayoral election in 2019, he defeated former City Councillor John Matheson in a 59-40 percent victory. Despite a contested mayoral election and beautiful weather, it was a light turnout overall. Just 20.7 percent of Malden’s registered voters cast ballots in this election, with 7,918 voters from the highest pool of potential voters in city history, just over 38,000. “Malden has changed, and we have changed with it,” Mayor Christenson said Tuesday night, with a nod to Malden’s increasing diversity, with the newest city census showing this city had become a “majority minority” community for the fi rst time in history. Some 49 percent of the city’s population reports their fi rst language is not English. “One thing that I know for sure is that our record of results and success, building on Malden’s strong past and proud future, is what led us to victory tonight,” he added. Mayor Christenson thanked his family and staff for all of their hard work throughout the successful campaign, giving special note and thanks to his campaign director, former School Committeeman Adam Weldai and fi eld director Harrison Zeiberg, a recent Wheaton College graduate who is also a 2019 Malden High School grad. “Some said it was time for a change.

An online version will also RACES | FROM PAGE 1 the Malden School Committee for the 2024-2025 term. Most of the spotlight’s “beam” was on Ward 5 in this election, due to the fact there were open seats for both City Council and School Committee. Both longtime Malden City Councillor/ present City Council President Barbara Murphy and Ward 5 School Committee member Adam Weldai announced earlier this year they would not be seeking reelection. In a closely contested Ward 5 Councillor race, local activist and volunteer Ari Taylor topped first-time candidate Julie E. Turner, 804-627 votes, with Taylor winning the ward 55-43 percent. Taylor was the runner-up in a challenge to incumbent Councillor Murphy in the 2019 municipal election. Murphy publicly endorsed Turner in this year’s book signing. Light refreshments will be served. There is no cost to attend this Dr. Aaron Blight Award-winning author and founder of Caregiving Kinetics be available simultaneously via Zoom. Participants who attend this program in person will receive a free copy of Dr. Blight’s book, “When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative.” Dr. Blight will also be available for election. The Councillor’s race brought out a large turnout of Ward 5 voters, nearly 1,500, which Malden election watchers say was the largest in nearly 15 years. “I am deeply honored to be the City Councillor-elect for Ward 5 in Malden,” Taylor said on a Facebook post on Election Night. “While my name was on the ballot, ultimately this election was not about me — it was about all of us, our neighborhood, our community — and building a shared future together.” Representing Malden’s Ward 5 on the School Committee for the next term will be political newcomer Elizabeth Hortie, a private practice psychotherapist who formerly worked in public school education, who ran unopposed, receiving 1,103 votes.

For Councillor-at-Large, all three incumbents were returned to the Council in a four-person field: Carey McDonald (4,365 votes), Craig Spadafora (4,298 votes) and Karen Colón Hayes (4,172 votes). Finishing fourth and out of the running was Dante DiSerio (2,344 votes), a Ward 8 resident. McDonald and Hayes were reelected to their second term, while Spadafora, who is the longest continuous serving City Councillor, first elected in 2004, was elected to his 11th term. For Ward 2 Councillor, longtime incumbent Paul Condon, who has served in parts of five decades as one of the most veteran Councillors of all-time, was reelected to his 16th term overall when he defeated challenger/political newcomer Sheila Rachels, 570-362 votes, winning all three precincts in the ward with a 61-38 percent tally in the final numbers. “I am grateful to be reelected to another term and also thankful to all the residents of Ward 2 who supported me in this race,” Councillor Condon said. “I congratulate my opponent for running a good campaign.” In Ward 6, incumbent Stephen Winslow held off a challenge by former School Committee member Jerry Leone, 640-444 votes, 59-40 percent. “Thank you to all of our supporters and those who helped with my campaign,” said Councillor Winslow, who was reelected to a second term in Ward 6, after serving two terms previously as an at-large Councillor. “I look forward to continuing to work hard for Ward 6 residents and those across the city on other issues.” All of the other Ward Councillors ran unopposed and were reelected: Peg Crowe (Ward 1, 639 votes); Amanda Linehan (Ward 3, 1,053 votes); Ryan O’Malley (Ward 4, 568 votes); Chris Simonelli (Ward 7, 536 votes); and Jadeane Sica (Ward 8, 565 votes). program, but registration is required by November 13.

In the first half, the Eagles led 1-0 with a goal by Reilly Hickey in the 19th minute of play. The Trojans scored in the 23rd minute to keep the game at hand. Neither team could get anything else going offensively, with both goalies making saves to send the match into the break deadlocked at 1-1. To open the second half of play, the Trojans struck early, scoring two goals in a five-minute span to take a 3-1 lead. A misplay in Mystic Valley’s defensive backfield resulted in the Trojans 4th goal of the night in the 51st minute. Less than 30 seconds later, the Trojans scored again, and the Eagles found themselves in a 5-1 setback. Bromfield’s offense tallied two more goals in the next three minutes of action.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 10, 2023 Page 17 Malden High Field Hockey blanks Milford, 4-0, in MIAA Division 2 State Tournament Ford scores two goals; Rivadeneira tosses shutout in goal for Tornados By Nathan Dean Malden High Blue and Gold The Malden High School Golden Tornado Field Hockey team advanced to the preliminary round of the Division 2 State Tournament in a dominant 4-0 victory against the Milford Hawks. The 2023 GBL Champs went into the match as the 33rdranked seed competing against the 2-14-2 Milford team ranked as the 32nd seed with both teams vying for a chance in the Round of 32 against the firstranked team in Reading Memorial the following Saturday. Malden would go on to lose the game to Reading Memorial 8-0. On the cold day of November 3, the Golden Tornados braved the hour-long bus ride to Milford and began to warm up. As the game started, Malden quickly pulled away with an early goal from freshman Anthony Ford off of a corner only fi ve minutes into the game. Malden would continue the early pressure with Ford scoring another goal not too long after. With the end of the fi rst quarLooking for some new players for next season Moving into next year, the Malden High School Field Hockey won its fi rst MIAA State Tournament game in over a decade, 4-0, over Milford in Division 2. (Courtesy/Nathan Dean/MHS Blue and Gold) ter, though, Milford turned the tide and put on a strong second quarter, but good defense from the Malden side keeps the score 2-0 in Malden’s favor. The third quarter was more even, but only Malden was able to capitalize with a third goal from junior Kevin Chen. A fourth goal from Malden late in the last quarter from junior Kyle Huang would seal the deal for Malden. “I feel on top of the world,” said Captain Daniel O’Toole, after the win. Ford echoed O’Toole’s emotion, saying he “feels great.” Coach Tiffany Cane emphasized that both coaches were really proud of the team. “They’ve really come together,” Cane added. “This game was a phenomenal game; they played their heart out. This is the furthest that Malden Field Hockey has gone since we’ve been coaching.” Both Coach Cane and Coach Samantha Souza began coaching in 2018. This is the second time under their leadership that the team has made the State Tournament and the third time that the team has been GBL champions. “We had some really good practices leading up to this game,” Coach Souza mentioned, “We played like we practiced, and that really made us successful today.” “Everybody was in control; we were playing great defense and had some great shots on corners and penalties,” O’Toole added. “Our communication was pretty good,” Captain Pam Pam San continued. “We really pulled through. It was one of our best games yet,” senior Sandra Tang said. **** team is looking to recruit more athletes as many members will be graduating. For those interested in joining, information sessions will be held in the spring, and captains’ practices will be held in the summer. Coach Cane describes the team as “very family-based,” adding that “everyone is really great friends.” More information can be found on the team’s Instagram page @maldenfi eldhockey. In addition to these recruiting strategies, Coach Souza and Coach Cane are also looking to develop a middle school fi eld hockey program. “There’s no experience before they play in high school. Literally, everyone is picking up a stick for the fi rst time,” Souza explained. Lastly, the coaches wanted to congratulate the team’s seniors: Yara Escobar, Daniel O’Toole, Zachary Nedell, Pam Pam San, Lilly Desantis and Sandra Tang. “They’re irreplaceable,” Coach Cane said. “I’m so happy for them.” Malden High Varsity Golf Team wins GBL title for first time in 42 years Golden Tornadoes co-op with Revere is a success in fi rst season By Th omas Tierney Malden High Blue and Gold T hroughout the season, Malden High’s golf team faced many adversities with either personal struggles or struggles as a team. But through this struggle, they came out on top for the fi rst time in over four decades. A big part of the team’s success came straight from practices. Junior Dante Federico noticed throughout the season just how important it was. “This year we had to be competitive amongst each other in practice, and at the highest level; in doing so we kept our team hungry for the knowledge of the game and the chance to end our drought in the GBL,” Federico said. The team, instead of practicing single skills in practices, decided to face each other, bringing consistent competition and the need to be consistent as players. The Malden High School Golf Team is the Greater Boston League Champion for the fi rst time in 42 years. The Malden players are Ryan Coggswelll, Tommy Cronin, Dante Federico, Saul Kurckenberg, Chris MacDonald Josh Mini and Bo Stead. (Courtesy photo) Despite all of the positives, the team still faced struggles. Junior Chris MacDonald talked about their struggles as a team but also his personal struggles during the season. MacDonald brought up how they struggled to close matches and struggled to stay consistent through those matches, but also how when they played harder competition and that they showed heart in those games staying so close. That heart came and swooped into the team’s fi nal match of the season. In a match against Lynn Classical to win the GBL title, the team didn’t know just what the outcome of their season would be until the fi nal hole. MacDonald expressed his feelings about how he and the team felt in that moment, saying, “It was one of the greatest feelings ever.” It wasn’t just beating Lynn Classical – it was also putting a better record out than any other team in the league, and it was very close. Malden won with an outstanding record of 8-1-1 while second-place team Lynn English fi nished with another impressive record of 8-2. But, in the end, it was Malden’s team who showed up to take the title home. With this being the fi rst GBL title for the Golf team in years, knowing that this team sent the seniors off with a bang felt great for the seniors. Senior captain Saul Kruckenberg talked about this season and shared his opinion on it: “I am so glad that this is how we were able to close out my last year in this program. With the amazing family we built as a team, this is such a great way to get sent off .” But it was also a great feeling for the underclassmen. MacDonald was just as proud of his team for sending their seniors off as well as they did. “Knowing that we sent the seniors off with one of the biggest and best accomplishments we could’ve had for the season is a great feeling simply because we all know they will never forget this season because of how it ended on such a high note,” MacDonald said. The heart, time and chemistry this team put on display this season – by every individual player – really puts into perspective just how much this team deserved it.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 10, 2023 Call The Advocate: 617-387-2200 ~ Mystic Valley Regional Charter School Sports ~ NON-MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENT TAXABLE ESTATE T he Massachusetts gross estate for purposes of calculating a Massachusetts estate tax that might be due for a nonresident decedent is calculated the same way as the gross estate is calculated for a Massachusetts resident. The estate tax liability of a nonresident decedent is simply based on the percentage of real property and tangible personal property located in Massachusetts in relation to the entire estate of the nonresident decedent. This is per Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 65C, Section 4. If you are a Florida resident and have a vacation home, rental property or tangible personal property such as a boat located in Massachusetts with a total value of $1million and your gross estate is $5million, the Massachusetts preliminary estate tax under the new tax law with a now $2million exemption would be $280,800. This is also assuming deductions have been taken on the estate tax return in the amount of $100,000. If you divide $1million by $5million, or $20%, and multiply that figure by $280,800, you arrive at a final estate tax due to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the amount of $56,160. This is why Massachusetts nonresidents will often transfer Massachusetts real estate into an LLC in order to convert the ownership into personal intangible property and not have the real estate included as part of the calculation of the Massachusetts taxable estate. Even ownership of a boat could be transferred to an LLC. Additionally, the membership interest(s) in the LLC can be transferred into a living trust in order to avoid probate in the event of the member’s death. This is set forth in Estate of Henry L. Nielson v. Commissioner of Revenue, Appellate Tax Board Docket No. F232365 (Mass. App. Tax Bd. February 15, 2001). Keep in mind that if you are a non-Massachusetts resident, live in a state that does have an estate tax, and you do have real estate located in Massachusetts resulting in a Massachusetts estate tax upon the death of the decedent, Massachusetts does not allow for a foreign death tax credit based upon state estate taxes assessed on that Massachusetts real estate by the state that you are residing in. Massachusetts residents should contact their state representative or state senator to push for Massachusetts portability. The federal government provides for portability. This would mean that if a husband dies and leaves his half of the total marital estate of $4,000,000 to his wife, without any complicated trust planning, his wife would have the benefit of not only her $2million exemption, but that of her husband’s. If she subsequently dies with a $4million estate, no Massachusetts estate tax would be due. With no trust planning, and no portability option available, upon the wife’s subsequent death with a $4million estate, the Massachusetts estate tax will be $180,800. Quite a big difference. Joseph D.

Mystic Valley dominated the first set, as the Knights held on for the first seven points but could not stop the Eagles from there. Mystic Valley went on to an 11-point run and finished the set with a win. The Knights scored the first five points in the second set, but Mystic Valley made a fast comeback and took control of the set once again. The second frame ended with a Mystic Valley win for a confidence boost and motivation for a sweep going into set three. Set three was the closest of the match, as the knights managed to keep Mystic Valley within four or five points through much of the frame. Mystic Valley pulled away in the final points, as they went on to win the set and sweep the Knights. Fransabelle DaSilva led the Eagles in kills, scoring nine. Eva Truong and Lexi Beacom-Domotor each scored one. DaSilva scored a game high of six aces, while Ashley Cohen and Maeve Collins each added three. Ashlee Guillame was the leader in blocks with four, followed by Melody Sullivan with one. DaSilva was the team leader in digs with eight, followed by Collins and Beacom-Domotor with one each.

Eagles Cruise Past Whittier Tech Mystic Valley girls’ soccer defeated Whittier Tech, 3-0, in Haverhill on Thursday afternoon. The Eagles improved their record to 10-6-1. After the game, coach Offner emphasized how the team controlled the flow of the game. “We moved the ball well and generated several scoring chances.” The game started with the Wildcats on the attack, firing a shot just five minutes into the match. However, it was denied by Mystic Valley goalkeeper Emily DeLeire. Mystic Valley quickly responded with two separate scoring chances within two minutes, but the Wildcats’ defense denied each opportunity. At halftime, DeLeire had saved three of the three shots she faced. After a scoreless first half, the Lucia Antonucci in action Eagles came to life.

In the 65th minute, Antonucci intercepted an aerial pass and quickly found Reynolds up the field. Reynolds turned and slid the ball between the Wildcats’ defense towards Hickey, who then placed a shot past the Whittier goalkeeper and into the net for the 3-0 advantage.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 10, 2023 Page 19 Malden High School field hockey team wins Greater Boston League Championship Freshman Anthony Ford leads way in two wins over Everett By Steve Freker T he good times just kept coming for the Malden High School varsity coed field hockey team over the last two weeks of the season. The Golden Tornado squad won three of four games to close out the regular season, including two victories over Greater Boston League (GBL) archrival Everett. For the season, Malden finished a perfect 4-0 in the GBL slate, registering dual wins over fellow GBL field hockey teams Everett and Revere. Malden, led by Head Coach Samantha Souza, completed a winning regular season at 7-6-2 overall. In addition to the GBL wins over Everett and Revere, Malden also had non-league victories over Northeast (back-to-back, 6-0 shutouts) and a pair of ties with Peabody (2-2 and 1-1). Freshman newcomer Anthony Ford played a key role in all of the success over the final several weeks. In a night game at Macdonald Stadium, Ford scored two goals in a 3-0 shutout win over Everett, on Senior Night, where the veterans of the team were honored. Senior captain Dan O’Toole also played a major role in that stretch and other wins along the way with motivational leadership. Senior goaltender Marianne Rivadeneira registered the shutout in net that evening. **** Team honored at Macdonald Stadium on Senior Night Led by O’Toole, the senior members of the team were honored the same evening on Senior Night. In an online story from the Malden High Blue & Gold, Head Coach Samantha Souza highlighted captain Daniel O’Toole, stating, “Danny is just incrediAnthony Ford, who is just a freshman, has been red hot in scoring for Malden High field hockey, scoring two goals in a GBL title-clinching win for Malden over Everett and then scoring two more goals in the State Tournament opener over Milford.

(Advocate Photo) Senior Zachary Nedell, who has missed some time due to injury, had his first start back out on the field during this game and said, “It felt so good to get out there: to be hungry, to stop the ball, and to shut down my side of the field on defense.” Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma Mystic Valley Picks Up 5-2 Win over Quaboag in playoffs F our first-half goals lifted the Mystic Valley boys’ soccer team to a 5-2 home win over Quaboag Regional High School Monday evening at Eastern Avenue.

(Advocate Photo) gles an early advantage in the first five minutes of play, firing a shot that flew past the Quaboag goalkeeper. The Eagles scored again in the 9th minute when Yafet Dawit battled through a pair of Quaboag defenders to knock in a goal. Quaboag attempted to score moments later, but defender Stevie Carter kicked the ball away before it could cross the line for a goal. Ayoub Lamaalem stretched the lead to 3-0 in favor of Mystic Valley, collecting a pass from Dawit and burying the ball into the goal. It didn’t take long for Mystic Valley to break through the defense again. In the 16th minute, Lamaalem and Dawit played the ball to one another on a give-and-go. Lamaalem dribbled up the left sideline and served the ball into the box, where it found Sebastian Saad. Saad knocked it just inside the post from about 12 yards out for another Eagle goal. The Cougars soon found their rhythm and started putting pressure on the Mystic Valley defense. In the 21st minute, Quaboag evaded multiple Mystic Valley defenders before striking the ball to the left of goalkeeper Cam Martins and into the back of the net. As the game progressed, both teams became more competitive, attacking each other zones. Martins continued to make remarkable saves and the game remained in favor of the Eagles going into the break. Only 1 minute into the second half, Adam Elbadaoui was able to break through with a goal off assists from Saad and Lamaalem. Martins saved the first shot on a Cougar rush, but they were able to swoop in and score on the rebound in the 59th minute. The Eagle's defense stopped any chances of a Cougar comeback from there, giving Mystic Valley a 5-2 win. Eagles Downed in Four Sets by Blackstone-Millville in the Div. 5 state tournament M ystic Valley volleyball hoped to advance into a third round of state tournament play with a win over Blackstone-Millville on Friday night, but the Chargers (15-5) prevailed over the Eagles (8-12). The standout statistic of the match was aces, with senior captain Lexi Beacom-Domotor posting 5 and Senior Ashley Cohen posting three. Senior Melody Sullivan added three more to Mystic Valleys total, while 8th grader Maeve Collins and senior Mary Tayag notched two apiece. In addition to the three aces, Sullivan recorded 4 kills. Fransabelle DaSilva also heavily contributed on offense with 6 kills and 2 digs. The Eagles started off hot early, with the first point of the day going to Collins off a rally-stopping kill. The Chargers were forced to take an early timeout after Mystic Valley's first 3-0 run, and shortly afterward climbed their way back up top with a score of 13-3. Stellar serving from the Chargers triggered a 5-0 run that brought Blackstone-Millville to a lead of 19-4. After a subsequent drawn-out battle, it was Blackstone-Millville that came out on top, 25-5, to take Set One. Mystic Valley’s offense came to life in the second set, keeping just ahead of the Chargers both early and late thanks to one kill apiece from Collins, Tayag and Beacom-Domotor. The visitors took the lead on two separate occasions, triggering another Chargers timeout. This time, it was Mystic Valley's turn to come out on top. Two kills from Sullivan and one more error from the Chargers clinched the set for the away team, 29-27. Although the Eagles scored first in the third off a block from Collins, Blackstone-Millville quickly found itself up by nine points and managed to keep the Maroon & Gold strongly at bay with a decisive 25-4 set win. Mystic Valley found a spark in the fourth set thanks to DaSilva, who entered the game with her and posted three quick kills, but the Chargers were able to stay ahead of a late comeback effort to take Set Four, 25-7, and the match.

Page 20 avy n v y y Dear Considering, Be very leery of the Medicare Advantage ads on TV, radio, social media and that come in the mail. While many of these ads may tout free vision, hearing, dental and other benefi ts with zero monthly premiums, they aren’t always what they claim to be. Advantage Basics Medicare Advantage or MA plans (also known as Medicare Part C) are government approved health plans sold by private insurance companies that you can choose in place of original Medicare. The vast majority of Advantage plans are managed-care policies such as HMOs or PPOs that require you to get your care within a network of doctors in a geographic area. You can sign up for one of them during open-enrollment season from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. MA plans have exploded in popularity in recent years as insurers have fl ooded the airways with advertisements, often by celebrity pitchmen, that promote low-cost options with lots of extra benefi ts. But be aware that the Federal government has deemed many claims in MA ads fraudulent and misleading. Some ads imply that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services endorses or prefers a specifi c plan. Others promise more cost savings than you really get. And if you choose the wrong plan, your doctor may not be a member of that plan’s network, or you may end up paying out-of-pocket for medically necessary care. This past September, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services began cracking down on these ads, but you still need to practice self-defense. Here are some tips to help you make a good decision. Cover your needs: When evaluating MA plans, make sure the one’s you’re considering cover the doctors you like and the health care facilities you normally go to. Also, make sure all of the prescription medications you take are on the drug plan’s formulary. To help you compare plans, a good fi rst step is to call the offi ce managers of the doctors you use and fi nd out which Advantage plans they accept, and which ones they recommend. Then go to the Medicare Plan Finder tool at Medicare.gov/plan-compare to compare plans in your area. Understand the details: Some MA plans promote no monthly premiums, but the reality is that you are still responsible for your original Medicare costs including your Part B premium and deductibles and copays for covered services. Moreover, you may have to pay more out-of-pocket if you see a doctor outside the network. Also, if the plan is an HMO, it generally doesn’t cover non-emergency care out of network, so an individual may be responsible for full costs. A PPO on the other hand, allows people to go out of network, but they generally have to pay more to do so. Do some digging: Many MA plans tout free vision, hearing and dental benefi ts that are not covered by traditional Medicare, but these benefi ts are often limited. For example, a plan that off ers free dental coverage may cover only cleanings and x-rays. Extensive procedures such as root canals or caps may not be covered, or the plan may limit the dollar amount it pays. Find out the coverage details so you’re not surprised later. Get help: Reach out to your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) at ShipHelp.org or call 877-839-2775. These are nonprofi t programs that provide unbiased one-on-one Medicare counseling and assistance. You can also report any misleading MA claims to the Senior Medicare Patrol Resource Center at SMPResource.org or by calling 800-447-8477. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
