Lt. Col. Woodhouse served heroically in the United States Air Force during World War II and earned a Congressional Gold Medal. As a member of the Tuskegee Airmen, he served in America’s first all-Black combat flying unit and played a pivotal role in the early integration of the United States Armed Forces. The Tuskegee Airmen proved to be among the most accomplished pilots in the U.S. Army Airforce and were the driving force behind President Harry Truman’s decision in 1940 to end discrimination in the military.

In a memo to the council, Isaac Slavitt, chairman of the Malden Conservation Commission (ConCom), explained that establishing a rational, reasonable and publicly posted system of fines and enforcement procedures (Section XIII) gives the City of Malden a much more comprehensive set of selfhelp tools for dealing with parties who have apparently run afoul of conservation laws and regulations. It may also allow some of the physical inspections, case file management and communication overhead to be delegated to professional code enforcement officers duly appointed by the City for such matters, which is especially relevant in Malden given that our ConCom meets relatively infrequently. Slavitt acknowledged the Conservation Commission will need more funding and resources to enforce the ordinance. If the City adopts a bylaw, the sense of the ConCom is that it will need the City Engineering Department to agree to designate one of their employees at least 25% of the time to ConCom duties. Additionally, the ConCom will need a modest budget for ongoing training and such limited materials or services as may be necessary. This budget can likely be supplied by setting up a revolving account in which application fees paid under the bylaw are deposited solely for ConCom use. This is a common practice in other cities, and it is specifically endorsed by reference. However, the new ordinance may be self-sustaining since the commission has set a fine of $500 for each offense.

For MCAS testing for this year’s Class of 2024 sophomores, Malden High’s school participation soared dramatically, up nearly 40% to a close to perfect 99%, Malden Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy told the Malden School Committee during a formal MCAS presentation recently. “Our district as a whole did a tremendous job in making sure our attendance rate was very high for MCAS testing,” Supt. Dr. Noriega-Murphy said. “Malden High School did very well this year.” Malden School Committee Chairperson and Mayor Gary Christenson said, “Malden High School did a great job this year, very impressive.” “We went to great lengths Chris Mastrangelo MHS Principal “Those are rock solid numbers,” Mayor Christenson added, noting that the Mass. Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) uses attendance/participation rates for MCAS as a key indicator in establishing the school and district ratings statewide. The Mayor invited Principal Mastrangelo to comment on the high school staff ’s approach at the school board meeting. “It was a total team eff ort: Our entire staff worked very hard and very effi ciently in the months leading up to the MCAS testing day and then on the testing day itself,” Mastrangelo, a former high school soccer and basketball coach before he became an administrator, told the School Committee, noting that MHS Brunelli House Principal Ewald Charles was the lead administrator for MCAS testing planning and coordination on test day. to make sure sophomores and some juniors we needed for testing were in school and able to be administered the test,” Mastrangelo said. “We ran basically a phone bank to call students’ homes and used translators for those caregivers and families whose first language is not English. We were very successful in that regard. We stressed the importance of any students who might have been late arriving, and their parents made sure they were in school soon after they got the call.” Mastrangelo said the school even sent “ambassadors” to the students’ homes to pick them up and get them to school even quicker. “Staff members even went to students’ homes and got them to school even quicker to save testing time in some cases,” he said. Mastrangelo said staff were able to determine high-needs students and ran outreach to students and caregivers. “It was a job well done,” Mastrangelo said. “It really showed how dedicated and committed our staff was here at the high school and across the district to help ensure our students’ success. Our improvement in just one year was very impressive, and it just picked up the spirit of our whole school, with that theme of working together so well.”

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 18, 2022 ~ Malden Musings ~ Walter Wishoski By Peter F. Levine I have many fond recollections of Mike’s Cafe and bartender to the unwashed masses Walter Wishoski. His awful death recently brought back a fl ood of childhood memories spent in Mike’s. Opening their doors (the Czechowskis, I believe) at 208 Highland Ave. in (I believe) 1954, Mike’s was a thriving neighborhood bar for a good chunk of many of our lives. I reached out to Dickie (“The King of King Neptune”) Santo to probe his Mike’s Cafe memory bank. The similarities on our Mike’s experience are almost identical. Before it became Papa’s Bar & Grille it was Mike’s Café, where most of the youths of Edgeworth had their fi rst taste of demon alcohol. Thirty-fi ve cent drafts! The jar of pickled eggs on the bar next to the cash register consumed only by the brave at heart. The old saw goes that a newbie to the bar asked Walter (Wishoski) where the ashtray was. His reply: “You’re standing in it!” My fi rst venture into Mike’s was around 1973 as a sophomore at Malden High School (I think the drinking age was 12 in those days). We walked late night through the back door and sat in the lounge area away from the bar. We sent the tallest of us up for six drafts. Because he could reach the bar and his money was green, he qualifi ed for as many draft beers as he could carry back to the old wooden booth with faux-leather covering in the back room. Such memories! I’ve gone to the Dickie Santo well many times in the past (just last week actually); he contributes pure gold and makes me look good (insert smiley face). Take it away, King of Kings: “I recently read about the tragic accident resulting in the death of Edgeworth’s own Walter Wishoski and word quickly spread around the area. I remember back in the day when my friends and I were in our early 20’s and the Dukakis administration and lawmakers had just passed a law that if you were caught drinking and driving you could face jail time as well as a $1,000 dollar fi ne. So, during that winter my friends and I decided Law Offices of Terrence W. Kennedy 512 Broadway, Everett • Criminal Defense • Personal Injury • Medical Malpractice Tel: (617) 387-9809 Cell: (617) 308-8178 twkennedylaw@gmail.com that it would be best to stay local and not risk driving to the clubs up and down Route 1 or to Revere Beach. All of us being from Edgeworth ourselves, we decided to make Mike’s Café our weekend hangout for the winter. There was probably a dozen of us hanging out there each and every Friday and Saturday night. Mikes was well known around the area and people would come from all over to grab last call which was at 2:00 AM! The first night we stepped in the place we were received by puzzled looks from all the hard-core old timers at the bar and legendary bartender Walter Wishoski as if to say what are you kids doing coming in here! At that time the price for a draft beer at Mike’s was 35 cents! One could partake from a selection of Ballantine Ale, Old Milwaukee, Schlitz, Miller High Life, or Tuborg to name a few. Walter also poured one hell of a mixed drink as well as a ‘heavy handed’ shot! Food offerings ranged from hard-boiled eggs, whole dill pickles, hot dogs as well as ham & cheese sandwiches, salami & cheese sandwiches, and roast beef & cheese sandwiches which Walter sliced to order and piled so high one thought it was as if you were eating a large sub from the Big A! We also had the ‘dining room’ all to ourselves which included a TV with the old Cablevision ‘remote’ box (connected to the TV by wire) with the A/B toggle switch and channel buttons as well as a Pac Man video game machine! All you needed to bring with you for a fun night was $10.00 which would cover 20 draft beers apiece ($7.00), a roast beef and cheese sandwich ($1.50), 4 games of Pac Man ($1.00) and a 50-cent tip for Walter! We drank so many drafts that it soon forced the price to go from 35 cents to 40 cents per draft for water and labor costs because ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS....Wonderful family Colonial filled with potential!

God bless Walter as he put up with so much grief from us that winter. All kidding aside, I would like to express my condolences to the Wishoski family for their loss. It is truly a shame and an awful way for him to go. RIP Walter and thanks for the memories!” Walter’s brother Steve had these words to say: “Walter was a great brother to Denise, Diane and me. He was stoic and a man of few words but judging from the incredible response and outpouring of good wishes from so many people he touched an awful lot of folks. He was a proud graduate of Malden High where I’m told he was on the rifl e team. He spent over 20 years in the National Guard from where he retired, he worked for Piantadosi’s and is best remembered as the best bartender Mike’s Cafe ever had. He was honest, hardworking and had an old school work ethic. He loved the Irish American and many of their members have reached out to us. As you would expect, our friends from Edgeworth have been very generous with their praise and regard for him. We will miss him very much. He was irreplaceable as a brother and friend.” Yes, Walter was a proud member from the class of 1965. Let us take a peek at The Maldonian, Class of 1965 – “Here at M.H.S. We Strive for ‘Peace thru Understanding...’” • The Maldonian called English teacher Miss Mary E. Heald, teacher, leader, advisor, as well as “our fourth-fl oor sunbeam.” She was not only the “watchful eye of the Maldonian,” but also the “guiding light and it’s striving purpose” and its “dear and wonderful ‘Mother.’” • A Malden High School 1926 graduate, Governor of Massachusetts John Volpe, sent a letter of congratulations that was long on academic sterility and short on warmth. Still, an MHS graduate becoming Governor of the Commonwealth? Outstanding! • Paul Phaneuf was the Superintendent of Schools. Paul Phaneuf was an intellectual giant. His brilliance, his class and his gentlemanly demeanor contributed to Malden’s reputation as one of the best school systems in the Commonwealth. Many a night I would walk into the Phaneuf living room, Paul sitting in his recliner, Ballantine Ale poured perfectly in a pilsner glass at his side and one of the great classics on his lap. Lovely man. His advice for the class of ’65 was epic: “May I suggest that you work for peace in the world by working for peace in your own immediate milieu by loving one another and by ridding yourselves of all traces of bigotry, prejudice and all hatreds except a hatred of injustice.” • Brendan Duff y was the Assistant Advisor to the Class of 1966 – in the yearbook photo looking like a much handsomer version of his son, Kevin. In 1965 Duff was already a legend. Advisor to the Lion magazine and a member of the Writer’s Workshop, Duff y was a role model and mentor to untold thousands of young minds throughout his storied career. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character “Columbo” would say “Just one more thing sir” – I was shocked and saddened, my heart sank, when I read who it was. The “forced intimacy of life in a small neighborhood meant no street corner was anonymous” (I wish that was mine). Or in this case, no neighborhood bar. Mike’s Cafe was one of the (many) legendary “old men’s” or “dive bars” in Edgeworth growing up. Mike’s eventually morphed into Papa’s Bar & Grille owned by a wonderful Medford family. While Papa’s was an outstanding restaurant – it was not Mike’s. Before Mike’s closed its doors, I was a semi frequent visitor there. Walter (Wishoski) was the revered bartender when I fi rst started having a legal draft or two. Some little-known Walter Wishoski facts: According to his high school yearbook, he was a Connie Francis ‘zealot,’ he was on the “Swing ’n Spring” and “Pigskin Panic” committee and was an ardent reader of “warfare material.” I have known Walter’s lovely sister Diane (voted to my all-time loveliest girls from Devir Park team) since I was a youngster at Devir Park, and his brother Steve was the MRA big kahuna for years. My sincerest condolences go out to the Wishoskis – a wonderful Malden family.
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 18, 2022 Page 7 Internationally known author Malindo Lo visits Malden High for book presentation Young adult novelist is a National Book Award winner By Steve Freker I nternationally known young adult novelist Malinda Lo engaged with a lively group of students at Malden High School to discuss her newest, award-winning book. “Last Night at the Telegraph Club” is a historical tale set in San Francisco’s Chinatown in the 1950s following a teenage American-born Chinese woman coming to terms with her homosexuality during the McCarthy Red Scare in 1950s San Francisco. Released in 2021, the novel was adapted from a short story she wrote for the 2018 anthology All Out: The No-Longer-Secret Stories of Queer Teens throughout the Ages.” A group of about 40 students gathered in the Malden High School library as Lo, a Massachusetts resident, discussed her background and her writing, then read some passages from “Last Night at the Telegraph Club.” Following her reading, Lo fi elded questions from some of the students taking part in the presentation, several of them related to her own background and career. The appearance was coordinated through the eff orts of the Boston Book Festival’s Shelf Help Program and Malden High “Last Night at the Telegraph Club” is available at the Malden High School library.

Butland was born in 1952 and grew up in Malden, graduating from Malden High School, and in 1980 proposed to his beloved wife, Karen. They had four children: Tricia, Brian, Bethany and Kevin. Butland loved sharing his love of softball with his children, with Tricia, Brian and Kevin all playing for his teams. He had retired as First Baptist manager a little over a decade ago, but he stayed committed to the league by staying on as commissioner right up until his passing last year. The league has eight teams, and they are currently looking for two new teams to bring the league total up to 10. New teams are asked to contact the league on their website, maldensoftball.com. New players are also encouraged to join, using the same website.

It was then that he introduced Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order? Do you have an update Will, Health Care Proxy or Power of Attorney?

Unified Sports matches up students who are physically challenged, intellectually challenged – or both – with students who volunteer to work with the challenged student-athletes at practices and games in various sports. Some school districts with Unified Sports have competition in one sport for their program. A number of them – including Malden Public Schools – have multiple sports and seasons for their programs, making it basically a year-round proposition. Mayor Gary Christenson spoke on behalf of the City of Malden in recognition of Malden Public Schools Athletic Director Charlie Conefrey. (Advocate Photo by Steve Freker) Malden Public Schools Unified Sports recently received two major honors – one at a national level. U.S. Special Olympics recognized Malden High School as a 2022 National Banner Unified Champion School, based on a specific, 10-standard review.

Among those in attendance at the brief ceremony and presentation were Malden Mayor and School Committee Chairperson Gary Christenson, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy, Disability Commission Member, ADA Compliance Officer and Special Assistant to the Mayor Maria Luise and Ward 5 School Committee Member Adam Weldai. Some officers of the DisabilChris 2022 ity Commission, including Vice Chair Amanda Belles and Secretary/Clerk Nichole Mossalam, were effusive in their praise and thanks for Conefrey and the Malden Public Schools for their sponsorship of the Unified Sports program. “We are all very touched by all the work you have done with the inclusion of so many students in this program,” Disability Commission Chairperson Marilyn Andrews said at the recent meeting. “From the bottom of our hearts the Malden community thanks you for your efforts in creating unity and making our community stronger,” Mayor Christenson said before reading an official municipal citation about Conefrey’s contributions. “Inclusion is so important for students of all ages and abilities and your work in establishing and growing this program has been exemplary.” “We have gone ‘all in’ with Unified Sports,” said Conefrey. “We started with co-ed basketball, then we added track and field.” “Also, this year we are hosting Malden High School was honored as a Special Olympics Class of 2022 National Banner Unified Champion School. a rivalry game in Flag Football for our Unified Sports Program, where we will take on Medford Public Schools in conjunction with the 135th Malden-Medford Thanksgiving Game,” added Conefrey. That Unified Flag Football game was scheduled to be played Wednesday of this week, weather permitting. This year’s Thanksgiving game is being played at historic Fenway Park next Tuesday night, November 22, with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff. Malden Public Schools recently hosted an eight-team, regional jamboree at the Sam Fishman Memorial Fieldhouse at the Salemwood K-8 School. Conefrey reported it was a big success, with over 100 players and 40-45 volunteer students and coaches on hand. (See separate story, photos in this edition.) “There is a lot of publicity around youth and high school sports lately about overbearing parents and unruly fans, but there is none of that in the Unified Sports programs,” Conefrey said. “There’s plenty of competitiveness and a lot of sportsmanship, with players on one team actually stopping to help other players on the opposing team have fun and succeed.” “It can be very inspirational at times,” Conefrey attested. “We are just so pleased we can help make these Unified Sports student-athletes learn some of the same life lessons as our traditional students.” “If we can help our most vulnerable students and their caregivers [be] a little happier through their participation in Unified Sports, then it is all worth every bit of effort that we invest,” Conefrey said.

RIVALRY | FROM PAGE 1 ories, but adding the fact we are playing at Fenway Park, it really hits it out of the park – literally!” One of the key reasons the Malden-Medford game was selected to play at Fenway this year may be the game is now the oldest continuous high school football rivalry in the United States at 134 games. It formerly trailed only Boston Latin-Boston English, which began in 1887, But Latin and English did not play in the pandemic-restricted 2020 season of Fall 2 in spring of 2021. Malden did play Medford in Fall 2, in May of 2021, thus keeping its streak alive. The game returned to its rightful Thanksgiving morning slot last November of 2021, with Malden taking a 12-10 victory at Macdonald Stadium. The oldest Thanksgiving Day game is Needham vs. Wellesley, which was first played in 1882. They had played every year since then, but in 2020, that changed due to COVID canceling the game. Instead, the game was played in the spring of 2021, and the outcome was Wellesley winning in a 34-0 rout. Malden has won the last six THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 18, 2022 Medford has not fared much Thanksgiving games in a row, including a 12-10 game at Macdonald Stadium in Malden last year. The Golden Tornados hold a 68-56 advantage in the matchup. There have been 10 ties in the ancient series. Malden, led by second-year Head Coach Witche Exilhomme, comes into this year’s game seeking its fourth win of the regular season. After a promising, 3-1 start, Malden (3-6) has been mired in a 5-game loss streak. Injuries have been a constant problem for Malden, none bigger than a season-ending knee injury to senior captain and running back Mak Blaise, who had been among the leaders in Division 3 in both scoring and rushing. His season ended in Game 4 when he had to leave the game against Somerville in the fourth quarter, with Malden leading, 38-6. better in the regular season, coming in at 2-8 overall. Like Malden, Somerville has beaten Greater Boston League rivals Somerville and Chelsea, but after a 47-6 win over Chelsea in October, Medford has dropped three straight games, including two in the post-regular season, 37-6 last week to Wilmington and 42-8 to another Middlesex League team, Burlington. Coach Exilhomme had seen the game as a player in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and as an assistant coach in Fall 2. It was a whole new chapter as head coach in 2021, and he’s looking to keep a streak going in the right direction. Coach Exilhomme said he and his team are excited about this year’s game as it holds special meaning. “Every Thanksgiving game is unique and everyone is special in its own right because, for that year’s seniors, it is their last game,” Coach Exilhomme said. “Fortunately for our seniors this year, they get to play at FenPage 11 way Park.” Suiting up for the last time as Golden Tornados in tomorrow’s game are senior captains Andrew Louis and Kyle Paulding; two other senior captains out for the year are Mak Blaise and Zach Pan. Despite the contingent of seniors, Malden still fi elds a young team overall. Two of the captains are underclassmen: junior split end Gabriel Vargas Cardoso and sophomore linebacker James Hyppolite. Speaking to the youths of the team, Malden is planning on starting a freshman at quarterback for the second straight year on Tuesday. The regular starting QB, sophomore Aidan Brett, is also injured and out for the season. Malden’s favorite receiving targets will be junior slotback Davian McGuffi e, who has fi ve touchdowns this year, and junior 6-5 split end Vargas. Coming out of the Golden Tornados backfield will be sophomore Kevin Exilhomme, who now leads the team in rushing with over 400 yards. Sophomore linebacker James Hyppolite and 350-lb. defensive tackle Vidal Garner have been leaders for Malden’s defense. “It is said every year – throw out the records, it’s Thanksgiving – and it is true this year as well. This is Malden-Medford and it will all be decided on the fi eld on Thanksgiving. It never changes,” Malden eighth-year Athletic Director Charlie Conefrey said. “This year is extra-special because we are playing at the one and only Fenway Park! “We look forward to seeing all the former players and alumni who will come for this game. It is the best day of the season and we want to fi nish with a win for our seniors.” **** Tickets for the special November 22 at Fenway game are available online only through the Red Sox ticket offi ce at the following link: redsox.com/highschoolfootball.

Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 18, 2022 ~ Mystic Valley Regional Charter School Sports ~ Girls Soccer Drops Second Match of Playoffs J By Emily Brennan REASONABLE COMPENSATION FOR S CORP SHAREHOLDERS T he IRS is beginning to select a certain amount of S Corporations for examination to make certain they are complying with paying stockholders who work for the corporation a reasonable salary which in turn translates into paying a reasonable amount of payroll taxes assessed on the salary. The IRS will be looking at three types of distributions to S Corporation shareholders. 1. Those of appreciated assets where the S Corporation fails to report the gain on sale of that asset in the fi rst place; 2. When an S Corporation fails to report a distribution to a shareholder as a taxable dividend when required to do so, and 3. When a shareholder fails to report a non-dividend distribution as a taxable capital gain when the distribution exceeds his or her stock and loan basis in the S Corporation. With the IRS now receiving an estimated $46billion in additional funding towards its enforcement efforts, S Corporations need to maintain very accurate books and records, keep track of stockholder basis and loan basis, and be sure to report taxable transactions properly. Calendar year 2022 returns fi led on or before March 15, 2023 will still be susceptible to an income tax audit on or before March 15, 2026. This will give the IRS virtually three years to train their newley-hired auditors just in time to still be able to audit 2022 calendar year tax returns. Certainly, 2023 calendar year returns and thereafter will be even more likely to be audited. S Corporation profi ts above and beyond owners’ salary that are distributed to the stockholders are not subject to payroll taxes. This is not the case with partnerships. All of a partnership’s ordinary net income from a trade or business is subject to self- employment taxes. The IRS has created a fact sheet that serves as a guide for its agents to determine whether or not an S Corporation’s shareholder’s salary is reasonable. The IRS wants to collect payroll taxes on all wages in order to fund the social security system. If a S Corporation shareholder actively works in the business and does not take any salary at all, more likely than not, the IRS will eventually catch up with that S Corporation and will look to reclassify most, if not all, of the stockholder distributions as salary and then assess the S Corporation for the requisite amount of payroll taxes. Interest and penalties would also be assessed. The IRS FS (fact sheet) 200825 sets forth a guideline for agents to use in order to determine a reasonable salary such as duties and responsibilities, time and eff ort devoted to the business, salaries paid to non-stockholder employees of the business, what comparable businesses are paying for the same level of service, etc. With the Democrats maintaining the Senate, it does appear as thought the IRS will indeed be funded with an additional $86 billion, with $46 billion earmarked towards enforcement.

Still dealing with injuries, Malden loses to visiting Beverly Golden Tornadoes now gearing up for Thanksgiving football rival Medford, Fenway Park By Joe McConnell A t the beginning of any season, coaches might have projections for their teams on what they might expect from them. But those plans never take into account a variety of variables like that age-old problem that’s seldom avoided in a contact sport – injuries – and Malden football Head Coach Witche Exilhomme knows that better than most of his peers this fall. The Golden Tornadoes (3-6 overall, 2-4 in the Greater Boston League) were able to defeat league foes Somerville (44-12) and Chelsea (38-12), but their losses against Revere (230), Lynn Classical (22-6) and Lynn English (8-6) can be attributed to those injuries that definitely affected his starting lineups. After a bye week, undermanned Malden returned to the gridiron last Thursday night, only to lose to visiting Beverly, 35-12. But they have an opportunity to salvage the season against their longtime Thanksgiving Day rival Medford at Fenway Park, America’s Most Beloved Ballpark. The Tuesday night (Nov. 22) clash begins at 7:30 p.m. Exilhomme expects quarterback Aiden Brett to start under center for the Fenway tilt, but he had high praise for freshman Matthew Stelmach, who filled in nicely for the injured signal caller. “[Stelmach] did a great job for us against Beverly,” the coach said. “We did a good job moving the ball against Beverly – about 300 yards – but we made a couple of mistakes in the red zone that kept us from putting some more points up on the scoreboard.” Sophomore Kevin Exilhomme started at running back in the absence of Mack Blaise, John Lloyd and Matt Brito, and he ended up rushing for 150 yards, while also scoring a touchdown to earn offensive player of the game honors. Felix da Costa was the team’s defensive star against the Panthers when he forced a fumble and ran it back 34 yards for a touchdown. But now it’s time for the Thanksgiving game, which is taking on added interest, because it’s at Friendly Fenway. But no matter where they play the annual game against Medford, Exilhomme expects the effort to remain the same. “I expect the entire team to show up and compete against Medford, because they always bring their best on both sides of the ball, when it’s the Mustangs,” said Exilhomme. “They really care about this [Thanksgiving] game. They show up every year no matter the record and injuries, and I expect these kids to show up, because this is a tradition, which is what separates us [in this region] from every other high school sports event in America.” The tentative Malden offensive starting lineup for next Tuesday night’s game at Fenway includes right tackles Jerrell Calixte and Joey Fils, center Karl Lange, left tackles Earl Fevrier and Jason Tan, halfback Kevin Exilhomme, quarterback Aidan Brett, wide receivers Gabe Cardoso and Davian Mcguffie, fullback Kyle Paulding and wide receiver John Nathan Sullivan. On defense, there’s end Earl Fevrier, tackle Vidal Garner, end Kyle Paulding, tackle Joey Fils, cornerbacks Andrew Louis and Davian Mcguffie, strong safety Kevin Exilhomme, free safety Felix da Costa, middle linebackers James Hyppolite and Lange and outside linebacker Brito. Exilhomme hopes another win against Medford will begin the momentum heading into the 2023 season. “We will be very good next year, because 85% of the team will be back,” the Malden veteran coach added.
Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 18, 2022 avy eniiooravvy S iorn or avvyavy vvy io iori by Jim Miller Daily Money Managers Can Help Seniors with Financial Chores Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any services that can help my elderly mother with her fi nancial chores? My dad always used to handle the bill paying and paperwork, but he passed away last year, and mom struggles to keep on top of things. And I don’t live close enough to help her on a regular basis. Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, It sounds like your mom could use a good daily money manager (or DMM). These are fi nancial savvy professionals that can help older adults who have diffi culty managing their own day to day personal fi nancial aff airs. The types of services they provide typically includes paying bills, maintaining fi nancial records, balancing checkbooks and negotiating with creditors. DMMs can also prepare checks for clients to sign, help older people organize bank and fi nancial records, prepare and deliver bank deposits, gather and organize documents for tax returns, help decipher medical bills, and review bank statements in order to detect potential fi nancial abuse or fraud. Where to Find DMMs Depending on where your mom lives, DMM services may be available through private non-profi t elder assistance organizations or government agencies. These agencies often use volunteers to provide basic DMM tasks, such as bill paying at no cost. To fi nd out if this is available in your mom’s area contact her Area Aging Agency. Visit ElderCare.acl.gov or call 800-677-1116 for contact information. In addition to the non-profi t DMMs, an increasing number of individuals and private for-profi t companies have started off ering DMM services for a fee. Cost for these services varies by region but it often ranges between $25 and $100 per hour. Most clients need approximately four hours of services per month, but this too varies according to the complexity of the person’s fi nancial situation. The best place to look for a professional DMM in your mom’s area is through the American Association of Daily Money Managers (AADMM.com), which off ers an online directory that lets you search by ZIP code. All the pros listed there have signed the group’s code of ethics. Some have passed a certifi cation exam to earn the designation of Certifi ed Daily Money Manager. Before hiring a daily money manager, however, get references from two or more of their clients and check them. Also, fi nd out what they charge and what type of insurance coverage they have. Keep in mind that neither federal nor state governments regulate the DMM industry, so there is little oversight of these services. So before turning over your mom’s bills, make certain it’s someone you can trust. One other highly rated bill-paying service you should know about that’s specifi cally designed for older adults and caregivers is SilverBills (SilverBills.com). Available nationwide, this is a secure concierge bill management service that will manage your mom’s bills and pay them on her behalf, on-time and correctly, for a fl at fee of $50 per month. If you opt for this service, your mom will be paired with an account manager who will communicate and work with her over the phone, or through email, text or mail (her preference) – no computer is required. SilverBills also reviews all bills for errors and fraud and provides monthly statements showing the date, amount and manner of each payment. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

The first and eventual game winning shot did not come until the 10th minute of the first half of the contest. In the second half of play, the Eagles put pressure on Maynard’s defense, earning multiple corner kicks and free kicks, but couldn’t finish their chances in search of an equalizer. MVRCS was able to muster up more scoring chances, but Maynard stopped them all as the Eagles fell 1-0. MVRCS finished the regular season ranked #18 out of 90 teams in their division. Hickey led the Commonwealth Athletic Conference (CAC) in goals scored for two consecutive seasons, and Antonucci finished #5 in goals scored. Your Hometown News Delivered!
