The council unanimously approved Director of Assessments Nate Cramer’s recommendation that the city set a residential tax factor of .9027. The tax factor determines how much of the 2023 tax burden will fall to residential property owners and how much will be shifted to owners of commercial and industrial properties. The city can only collect 2 ½ percent more than the total amount of property tax revenue collected last year.

The United Way is providing meals to 20,000 families across 24 distribution sites in 21 communities in Eastern Massachusetts. Packages of Thanksgiving meal essentials were distributed to families in need. Families received a reusable grocery bag fi lled with turkey stuff - ing, potatoes, cornbread, rice, black beans, canned peas, green beans, onions and canned corn. Families also received a disposable turkey pan and either a turkey or a grocery gift card in their bags to purchase a turkey, depending on the distribution site.

At times I thought our childhood experiences were probably not much different than those of our neighbors to the north, south or wherever. Upon further refl ection, I concluded that growing up in Malden was indeed an awesome and unique time and place to spend my childhood. The way Malden is laid out lends to its uniqueness. How some neighborhoods were defi ned by the ethnicity of its residents lent to that uniqueness. According to political consultant/MHS Alumni Hall of Famer Michael Goldman: “Malden was a hodgepodge of neighborhoods in the 1960’s. Edgeworth was Italian on one side of Highland Ave and Irish on the other. Highland Ave where BOTH the Irish who came to Malden directly from Ireland as well as the Irish who spent time in Canada before emigrating down to America ...two distinct neighborhoods. Suff olk Square (before ‘slum clearance’ in the late 50’s) was Jewish and Black with smaller areas of Irish and Italians. Downtown Malden (always called ‘The Square’) were the remaining Protestants and Yankees. The West End was mixed (money drove the demographics/single and two-family homeowners) with some Swedes/Polish/Lithuanians scattered in with Italian and Irish. Ward 1, including Main St/Cross St/Belmont School, were Irish and a smattering of Jews. Oak Grove/Hawthorne St/Lebanon School were professional people with higher income brackets than most in Malden. Maplewood consisted of working blue collar people.” I just loved growing up in Malden! Neighborhoods were often defined by the park that was central to the location.

Same with the Oak Grove/Patchell Park hooligans. The Amerige Park boyos with the amazing amount of hoop players (and card players) it produced. There were the Edgeworth/Pearl Street/ Whitman & Highland crews, with “The Bakery” being the focal point. Newland Street, Devir Park, Harvard Street Park, Lincoln Park, Belmont, Maplewood Square, Judson Square, Forestdale and the Vista Street gang, the Linden Square (Robinson’s News)/Linden Park crowd; Trafton Park had its characters – as well as Ferryway Park. Coytemore Lea Park was special. Suff olk Square was mostly gone growing up, but their past was alive and well. The “Rez” was a go-to place. Cannot forget Waites Mount! I haven’t even touched on Malden Square – the Signor Pizza crowd, the Brigham’s crowd, the Park Street crowd (where the saying was “What goes on at Park Street stays on Park Street”) and on and on. I also fi rmly believe that the fact that we were all crowded together within (less than) fi ve square miles made us all, for the most part, anyway, friends. Of course, the occasional fl are up would occur, but mostly we saved that for our archenemies next door – “Medfi d.” Turns out, some of the best people I ever met came from Meff a (the folly of youth)! Point being, I don’t remember much hatred going around but I do recall a tightknit community. Speaking of Malden’s storied past, the question “Where has the Malden of our youth gone?” is thrown around at various cocktail parties in Malden. This is a nebulous question, possibly meant rhetorically – nevertheless I am going to attempt to give my spin on this age-old question and how it pertains to us longtime Maldonians in present day Malden. Before I begin, I must say, without hesitation, that I love Malden of 2022. I am a fi rm believer that we are living in the best of times. Three successive administrations with innovative, highly progressive leaders (Ed Lucey, Richard Howard and Gary Christenson) have transformed Malden into one of the more desirable locations to raise a family and to grow old.

However, it’s important to note that tax bills are determined more by the assessed value of a property rather than the tax rate. And property values have been on the rise. According to Cramer’s numbers, the value of an average residential property in Malden is $689,480. The value of the average commercial property in the city is $1,387,939.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 2, 2022 Page 9 TDM Church receives $6,500 grant to expand local hunger relief efforts Project Bread awards project-based grants to community organizations statewide F ood insecurity rose drastically during the pandemic and has yet to decline to pre-pandemic rates as one in six households – and one in fi ve households with children – across the Commonwealth struggle with having enough to eat, disproportionately impacting Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) families. Community-based organizations, such as TDM Church, have been a critical and steadfast resource, providing a wide variety of food access points for residents. To further local hunger relief eff orts in Malden, the nonprofi t has received a $6,500 project-based grant from Project Bread. TDM Church is one of 28 nonprofits to receive unrestricted funds from Project Bread, a statewide anti-hunger organization. Since 2021, Project Bread has granted over $680,000 to nonprofi ts to support communities hit hardest by COVID-19 and ongoing economic challenges, including Brockton, East Boston, Everett, Fitchburg, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lynn, Lowell, Malden, Mattapan, New Bedford, Quincy, Randolph and Worcester. This fall, Project Bread launched the Pathways to Change grant, distributing an additional $58,500 to TDM Church and eight other nonprofi ts in the same communities to recognize and support their work to address food insecurity and the underlying economic and racial inequities that contribute to it. With this project-based funding, Project Bread aims to support the creation of spaces for community conversations and engagement around food access that will strengthen relationships between individuals and food programs, support collaboration and achieve positive social change. The funds can be used to pay for community facilitators, art supplies, compensation for conversation participants, and other activity-related expenses. “Connecting people with sustainable solutions not only brings immediate relief but also provides agency and empowers people in the long term. We learned that solutions must come from the people closest to the problem,” said Project Bread’s Director of Community Partnerships, Adriana Mendes-Sheldon. “We continue to learn from and invest in our community partners because of their strength in creating local, sustainable solutions. Supporting our community partners, like TDM Church, is one of our key strategies for ending hunger statewide.” In Malden, TDM Church is using the Pathways to Change grant to launch the BELONG Project, a new initiative focused on encouraging people to connect with each other and receive information that improves their living conditions, reaching every area of their lives. The target is to promote conversations and connection with the immigrant community and off er solutions for improving well-being and safety through meetings, dinners, encounters with families and Upcoming Family Movie Night at Malden Public Library oin us for Family Movie Night on Wednesday, December 14, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. We will J be showing a movie based on the classic children’s book “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile” by Bernard Waber. “After moving to NYC, the Lyle Crocodile Primm family’s life changes when they discover Lyle, the singing crocodile.” This 2022 movie stars Javier Bardem, Constance Wu and Shawn Mendes as Lyle –rated PG – 106 minutes.

Letting our lights shine is about making a diff erence in others’ lives, and our mission is to manifest the love of God in every available way.” Since before the pandemic, Project Bread has been leading Massachusetts’s response to an ongoing hunger crisis that aff ects thousands of residents statewide, such as supporting school and community meal sites and running the Commonwealth’s only statewide hotline that connects residents with a range of food resources, from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) assistance to information on food pantry hours and locations.

This is pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 1014(a) (1). This is referred to as the step up in cost basis. If real estate valued at $500,000 is devised pursuant to an individual’s Last Will and Testament or pursuant to the terms of a living Trust, the recipient of this real estate receives the benefi t of a cost basis equal to the $500,000. It's a new starting point. It’s as if the benefi ciary of the Will or Trust paid $500,000 for the real estate. If the real estate is sold shortly thereafter for $500,000, no capital gains tax will have to be paid. If the property were sold two years later for $600,000, the capital gain to be reported would only be $100,000. It is therefore very important to take into consideration the value of this step up in cost basis when creating an estate plan. Capital gains taxes can be as high as 23.8% federal and 5% Mass. With the new Millionaires tax in Massachusetts, some capital gains could be taxed at an additional 4% rate. Once taxable income exceeds $1,000,000, the excess income is taxed at a rate of 9%. The capital gain could actually push you over the $1,000,000 of income. Consequently, it is even more important to take advantage of the step up in cost basis in order to eliminate or minimize the actual capital gain itself. If appreciated real estate or stocks are simply given to your children outright, the cost basis in the hands of your children would be your cost basis. This is referred to as a carryover basis. You would look to what you originally paid for the real estate or stock, improvements to the real estate, depreciation taken if rental property, etc., in order to determine cost basis. Outright gifts like this do not make much sense in the vast majority of cases. It would be better to place the property in a living Trust in order to avoid probate, obtain the step up in cost basis, provide for estate tax savings and possibly protect against a nursing home if that is one of the objectives. Generally, the capital gains tax savings to the children upon a future sale of appreciated real estate or stock far outweighs the negative of having to pay a Massachusetts estate tax due to the real estate and stock being included in the decedent’s taxable estate. As an example, a $5,500,000 taxable estate consisting of appreciated real estate and stock would cost approximately $460,000 in Massachusetts estate taxes. If the original cost basis of the real estate was only $500,000 because the property was purchased 50 years ago and/or fully depreciated (if rental property), the capital gains tax savings would approximate $1.425million. The net savings to the children would be $965,000. There would be no federal estate tax as the current federal exemption is over $12million. Keep in mind that under IRC Section 1223(9), the holding period for assets received from a decedent shall be considered to be more than one year, even though the assets may have been sold by the beneficiary within one year from the date of death. Pursuant to IRC Section 1223(2), the holding period of the person making an outright gift plus the holding period of the recipient of the gift is added together in order to determine if a short-term (less than one year) or long-term (more than one year) capital gain would be recognized upon a subsequent sale.

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 2, 2022 GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE ROUNDUP: Everett, Malden & Revere Boys Basketball tip off tonight in Inaugural Ron Bennett Jamboree in Lynn By Steve Freker T he new varsity rosters are still “hot off the press” as 12 local boys basketball teams hit the hardwood tonight for their fi rst scrimmage action. And it will be a doozy! It’s the fi rst-ever Ron Bennett Boys Basketball Jamboree and it begins at 4:00 p.m. at Lynn English High School (LEHS), former 41-year coaching home for Bennett, who is the winningest high school coach in the history of the city of Lynn. Coach Bennett was the boys’ basketball head coach at Lynn English from 1965-2013 and the baseball head coach at LEHS from 1975-2013. In 41 years steering the two major Bulldog sports seasons, he rang up over 800 coaching wins. With two other like-minded preseason jamboree events having come and gone in Lynn, Lynn English Athletic Director Dick Newton brought this type of event back this year, this time honoring his own former coach. Newton was a standout for English in the late 1970s and early 1980s in both sports under Coach Bennett. “We wanted to bring it back in his name,” NewThe late former Lynn English boys’ basketball and baseball Head Coach Ron Bennett coached 41 years until 2013 at age 75. He passed away at 80 in 2018. ton said, “I’m lucky I am in a position to honor him. He did so much for the school and the kids.” The jamboree includes six games, each 45 minutes after the previous game, with the fi rst beginning at 4 p.m. The scrimmage games will consist of two eight-minute quarters. Competing in this inaugural event will be 12 teams in all, including seven of the eight Greater Boston League (GBL) varsity teams, including host Lynn English. Three Advocate readership teams – Everett, Malden and Revere – will be competing tonight, along with three other GBLers: Chelsea, Lynn Classical, Somerville. KIPP Academy, Lynn Tech and Wakefi eld round out the even dozen dusting it up at Lynn English High tonight. Locally, Coach David Leary’s Revere High Patriots will open the event by taking on the Chelsea Red Devil boys at 4:00 p.m. Everett will take on Wakefi eld at 5:30 p.m., and Head Coach Don Nally’s Malden High Golden Tornados play Lynn Tech at 6:15 p.m.Following is the full schedule at Lynn English High School tonight: Chelsea vs. Revere (4 p.m.), KIPP vs. Somerville (4:45 p.m.), Everett vs. Wakefi eld (5:30 p.m.), Lynn Tech vs. Malden (6:15), Lynn Classical vs. Melrose (7 p.m.), Lynn English vs. East Boston (7:45 p.m.). *** Coach Nally, Malden High boys looking forward to tonight’s Bennett Jamboree The longest-serving boys basketball head coach in Malden High school history says he’s been looking forward to the start of this season a bit more than most – for a lot of reasons. “We had some big-time injuries last year which really left us shorthanded on a lot of nights,” said Coach Nally, who embarked on his 21st season at the helm for Malden on Monday, referring to the forgettable, 1-19 campaign last winter. The Malden coach said this year’s group is a mix between seasoned veterans and talented newcomers. A big piece of the puzzle this season is the return of 6-4 senior Jonald Joseph, who missed all of the 2021-22 season with a microfracture in his back, an injury more common to college and NBA players. Joseph and senior classmate Justin Bell, a 5-10 shooting guard, are the two key guys back for Malden. Nally said there are still lots of question marks, but he and his players are looking forward to participating in tonight’s event – a little slice of real-time varsity competition in anticipation of the actual real deal. After tonight’s jamboree game, Malden is back in scrimmage action next Thursday, December 8 at home at 4:00 p.m. The Golden Tornados boys open for real on Tuesday, December 13 at the Finn Gym versus nextdoor Greater Boston League rival Medford (6:00 p.m. tipoff ).

But can you imagine what the odds would have been – and the haul that followed – if someone dropped some coin down the street at Encore on this proposition: “Malden will run the opening kickoff back for a touchdown against Medford for the second straight year in the Thanksgiving game...” That indeed is how it played out last Tuesday when Malden High sophomore running back Kervenson “Kevin” “Excel” Exilhomme ran back the opening kickoff 95 yards for a Golden Tornados touchdown to send the many Malden fans in the Fenway Park crowd into a frenzy. Even the ones who had not even gotten to their seats yet! Apparently, whatever magic had caused the exact same start to last year’s Malden win (12-10 over Medford in Game #134) had wafted into “America’s Oldest Ballpark” and gave Malden another whiff of it. Last year, at Macdonald Stadium in Malden, the same electrifying game starter happened when then sophomore Davian McGuffi e took a kickoff at his own 19yard line and raced up the right sideline untouched for a Golden Tornados touchdown. Got all that? – Malden-Medford Game... check. – Game-opening kickoff return... check – Sophomore kick returner.... check – Sprinting all the way up the right sideline for a touchdown... check, again! Outrageous! There’s no question this has never happened before in backto-back years in this ancient series. No way.

GRAND-SLAM | FROM PAGE 14 ebration. Medford kicker Matt Wright – who’s got quite a leg on him – boomed the opening kickoff in the air to about the Malden 20-yard line. It took a bounce or two and made Exilhomme double back to about the Malden 4-yard line. He picked it up... but then dropped it and began to squirt away as the Medford kick coverage team swarmed to him. Miraculously for Malden, just as Exilhomme appeared to be getting knocked over like a bowling pin, he scooped the ball, made one juke and began racing up the right sideline, right in front of the team benches. Since just about the entire Medford team had converged on Exilhomme before he declined “sitting duck” status back at the 4-yard line, there was nothing ahead of him but wide-open Fenway Park left field grass. Ninety-five yards later, he was in the end zone, and Malden had remarkably duplicated its fantastic game-opening play from a year earlier. “Once I had the ball safe under arm and I saw an opening, I just ran as fast as I could,” Exilhomme, who has started every game on both offense and defense this year, recalled. “When I saw no one in front of me, I just ran a little harder to get to the end zone. I knew I could score and I did.” At a couple of points on his lengthy, 95-yard jaunt, Exilhomme himself appeared to have a bit of disbelief, as in just about every photo that was published of him after the game, his head seems to be on a swivel, looking behind to see if anyone was gaining on him. No one was. The opening fireworks was just the precursor to the career game Exilhomme would go on to have, as he would tack on two more touchdowns and lead the game in rushing (29 carries, 81 yards). His contribution to the Malden ground game was the foundation for the Golden Tornados’ gameplan. He also was a key “hot” receiver for sophomore classmate and quarterback Aidan Brett, who dumped off to him three times for what turned out to be drive-continuing receptions, all three of them on third down. For any college recruiters in the house that night, it was a bit of a coming out party for Exilhomme, a lanky, 6-2, 195 running back/linebacker who just recently turned 16 years old. Just a sophomore, the learning curve has a way to go for him and his teammates on the youth-driven Golden Tornados; he sure had an awfully big head start. Exilhomme’s head coach, second-year Top Tornado Witche Exilhomme, who starred for Malden a decade-plus ago, happens to be Kevin’s older brother. The Malden football boss, who also was a standout at American International College (AIC) from 2013-2016 and had some professional football looks, admits he’s a “hard marker” when it comes to evaluating his younger brother Kevin. But even he was able to give a solid “thumbs up” after Tuesday’s win. “I’m very, very happy for him [Kevin] and I’ll never tell him that,” said Coach Witche, with a smile. “He’s having a very good year and he’s going to shatter my records.” “For him to come out here, play tough, take this personal, clock in when we needed him, that’s very big. I’m very happy for him,” the Malden coach added. “I’m happy for his future, and I’m just fortunate and blessed to be a part of it and witness it from the sideline, not from the stands.” The way it looks right now, Kevin Exilhomme may have left more than the sophomore jitters in the rear-view mirror on his historic kickoff return TD, and it looks like smooth sailing with some great experience gained as the 2023 and 2024 seasons loom ahead.

On the Mustangs’ first offenTornado Deuel Obdeus gives the stiff arm to a Medford defender for some Malden yardage. sive play of the game, about seven seconds after the kickoff return TD, Malden safety Felix Da Costa made it a “scoop-andscore” when Medford fumbled at about midfield after a short run. Da Costa, a junior and one of Malden’s top impact players on defense all year, scooped the fumble in the middle of a crowd and raced 46 yards, weaving twice to avoid potential tacklers, and made it to the end zone for a 12-0 lead for Malden. (Da Costa, who scored four TDs this season defensively on three fumble returns for TDs and a “Pick Six” interception for a touchdown, added a key pass interception in Malden territory in the second half to stop a Medford drive in the midst of a Mustang comeback attempt.) The Malden High supporters in the large crowd of close to 4,000 erupted in delirious cheers. Senior captain Kyle Paulding rumbled in for the twopoint conversion and a 14-0 lead. The rest of the first half for Malden’s wide receiver by Kyle Paulding has his eye on the ball during last week’s action against Medford. Malden was simple: Game plan, game plan, game plan. The Tornados swore by the “Run First, Pass if You Must” all the rest of the way, eating game clock and letting the much bigger Malden offensive line clear the way for Kevin Exilhomme off-tackle or on-counter runs, or junior slot receivers Davian McGuffie or Alex Avalos on againstthe-grain sweeps off handoffs. “We wanted to establish the running game and keep possession of the ball,” Coach Exilhomme said. “That was what we [Exilhomme and Offensive Coordinator Anthony Pappagallo] decided. We stuck with it, and it worked in our favor.” The end result was 122 yards rushing for Malden to under 70 yards for Medford, no Malden turnovers and, most importantly, the Tornados win. To the Medford defensive unit’s credit, the Mustangs also came to play that night at Fenway. Malden built a 22-0 lead at halftime For the remainder of the first half, Malden played possession-ball a lot of the way, scoring once more early in the second quarter, after junior linebacker Karl Lange caused and recovered a fumble for Malden, setting up a short field goal for the blue and gold offense at the Medford 27yard line. Seven plays later Malden was in the end zone again, and Kevin Exilhomme had his second of three TDs for the game, a three-yard run over right tackle for a 20-0 Malden lead. Paulding took a pop pass from Malden sophomore quarterback Aidan Brett over the left side for a commanding, 22-0 Malden lead with 8:17 left in the first half. Malden would threaten again late in the half, but Medford’s defense stood tall and kept the Tornados out of the end zone, with a Tornados drive stalling at the Medford 7-yard line. Maybe this near-goal line stand pumped some air back into Medford’s tires for the second half, as the Mustangs stole a page out of the Malden songbook and started the second half the same way Malden had started the game. Senior running back Stevens Exateur took a squibbed kickoff off the foot of Malden’s Brett at the Medford 38-yard line and hightailed to THANKSGIVING BOX SCORE Malden 34, Medford 15 Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2022 at Fenway Park, Boston Score by Quarters Malden (4-6) 14 8 0 12—34 Medford (2-9) 0 0 7 8—15 Scoring Summary First quarter Malden: Kevin Exilhomme, 95-yard kickoff return (kick blocked).

Medford does not lie down, cuts lead with two TDs This time it was the Medford fans’ turn to explode as Exateur found a seam and exploited it, zigging once toward the center of the field and then outrunning everyone for a 62-yard kickoff return touchdown. Matt Wright’s PAT kick made it 22-7, Malden just seconds into Half Number Two. Let the Medford comeback begin! After Medford’s “D” answered by holding Malden to a three-and-out, the “Hey, wait a minute...” rumblings began in the stands and on the sideline. Later in the quarter, after some sleepy Malden offense and some livelier responses by the Mustang offense later on, the Medford comeback became 100% official. On the first play of the fourth quarter, after Brett was forced to punt from his own end zone and gave Medford the ball at the 31-yard line, Mustang Luiz Barbosa broke free on what looked like a simple off-tackle run and sprinted 29 yards for a Medford touchdown. Dom Rizzo’s two-point conversion run made it 22-15, and any thoughts of an easy road to this win for Malden evaporated into the cool but seasonal Fenway air. “They [Medford] had played us even for a good part of the first half and then were hanging in there in the third quarter,” said Coach Exilhomme. “It was up to us to take back control of the game. Our offensive line and our defense had gotten us the lead early; we needed those guys to step up again.” Step up, they did. The defense caused another fumble on Medford’s next possession, again by Karl Lange. But Malden went out quickly on three runs and a couple of penalties. “Da Costa Time” again with a key pass interception Two plays later, it was “Da Costa Time” again as Malden’s junior safety picked off a pass for his second turnover of the day against Medford and gave Malden another boost. Malden switched it up on this drive, with Brett (12-of-21, 124 yards, 1 TD, O INT) hitting three different receivers: McGuffie for 12, Paulding twice for 17 and then a big one, 6-5 junior Gabriel Vargas Cardoso for a 28-yard completion to the Medford 4-yard line to set Malden up at first-andgoal. After a penalty and another run play, Kevin Exilhomme scored his third touchdown of the game, a counter run over the left side for a 28-15 lead. Malden’s defense amped it up the rest of the way, led by McGuffie at cornerback, who came up with several big stops despite being hampered by an ankle he banged up on the very first series of the game, and sophomores Matheus Brito and captain James Hyppolite at linebacker, both of whom played standout defense. Brito had his best game of the season with five tackles, one of them a sack, in the second half alone. With Malden clearly in command, another Medford turnover (four on the game) led to one of the most entertaining plays of the game. Malden defensive lineman Joey Fils, the Malden defenders were all over the Medford offense as Tornado Matt Brito wraps up a Medford player for a fumble. 6-0, 285 tackle, who also had a great game at Fenway – and a superb season overall anchoring the line both ways – recovered a Medford fumble at midfield. Malden went back, and after a couple of Exilhomme runs and a key third down-and-7, Brett-to-Vargas Cardoso completion on a slant pattern from the left side for 13 yards, Malden got back into the red zone. Some Brett-to-McGuffie “Razzle Dazzle” for a TD Two plays later, Malden’s Brett ushered some good old-fashioned “Razzle Dazzle” into the game when he handed off to Exilhomme, who in turn handed off a reverse to Avalos, who then completed a “Flea Flicker” toss back to the QB. Brett escaped one tackle attempt and scrambled to nearly the right sideline before catching sight of a wideopen Mcguffie in the end zone. From a near-impossible angle, Brett fired a sidearm missile that nearly went more than six feet off the ground, right to Mcguffie’s cradling arms for a 15-yard touchdown and a 34-15 lead with under five minutes to play. Medford’s last possession fell short, and Malden’s coaches showed why this is customarily a classy series when the Golden Tornados drove all the way inside the Mustang 5-yard line but elected to take the Victory Formation knee instead of trying to score again. All that was left was the handshake right around the outskirts of Red Sox outfield and the Malden captains drenching Coach Exilhomme with the victory “bath.” What a night in Fenway!

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 2, 2022 The Advocate ranks the Top Ten Most Memorable Malden-Medford Thanksgiving Games of All-Time By Steve Freker T he Advocate has researched the extensive Malden-Medford Thanksgiving Day history and compiled a list of what we think are the TOP 10 MOST MEMORABLE GAMES of all time. #10 – MALDEN 42, MEDFORD 15 (November 26, 1974): Malden routs Medford, 42-15, at Pearl Street Stadium for second-year Head Coach Paul Finn’s first Turkey Day win of his 26-year career and a share of the first Greater Boston League title since 1969. Golden Tornados Co-Captain Jeff Sullivan rushed for 130 yards and scored two touchdowns; John Stanasek passed for two TDs and four conversion points; John Ruelle had a touchdown and a two-point conversion; Mark Burns, Paul Coleman and junior Steve DeFilippis scored TDs; Steve Carlan netted a two-point conversion; and Shawn Brickman kicked two PATs. All-Scholastic Co-Captain Jack Freker and defensive backs Steve Carpenter and Charlie Russell led the Malden defense. TIE @ #9 – MALDEN 59, MEDFORD 36 (November 26, 2015): They went out to a high school football contest, and a Madden NFL Game broke out. Scoring was fast and furious in this as Malden rolled to a 59-36 win, in the highest-scoring game in series history. The win was significant in that it clinched the Tornados’ first GBL Championship since 1988, breaking a 27-year title drought. The Exilhomme Brothers, Danley and DJ, both of whom went on to star at Central Connecticut State University, dominated this one, scoring six TDs between them. Head Coach Joe Pappagallo, who had steered Malden to a dramatic win over Everett (first time since 1992) two weeks earlier, retired after seven years at the helm and a 6-1 coaching record on Thanksgiving Day. and MALDEN 34, MEDFORD 15 (November 22, 2022): This is only one of two games in this compilation where the Malden win over Medford did not end in either an undefeated Malden season, a Greater Boston League Championship – or both. But hey, let’s face it, they played the game at “Friendly When Malden defeated Medford in 1948, it secured a spot in the National Championship game – where they defeated Robert E. Lee High School in the Gator Bowl, 14-0. (Courtesy Photo) HALL of FAMERS: Former longtime Malden High School Football Head Coach Paul Finn (at right) coached in more Malden-Medford games than anyone else in history, from 1973-1998. In the 1980s, he had the pleasure of coaching three Hall of Fame quarterbacks: from left: Chuck Borstel (1986), Billy Roderick (1987) and Steve Monaco (1983, 1984, 1985). (Advocate Photo/Steve Freker) Fenway,” for Game #135 in the most iconic baseball park in the world – and Malden won! The stars of the game were sophomore running back Kevin Exilhomme and junior safety Felix Da Costa. Exilhomme, brother of second-year Malden Head Coach Witche Exilhomme, scored 3 touchdowns on 29 carries for 81 yards – including a 95yard kickoff return touchdown to open the game. Da Costa returned his third fumble for TD of the season and also had a key interception to stop a Medford drive when the game got close in the 4th quarter, Malden’s 7th straight Turkey Day win tied a series streak record. #8 – MALDEN 26, MEDFORD 6 (November 27, 1969): In a scene out of a movie script, senior co-captain Dave Moulton, sidelined with 60 stitches in his head after an automobile accident the night before the game, comes off the bench in the second half and scores two touchdowns to lead Malden to a 26-6 win over Medford – and earn a share the GBL title with Quincy. Malden had trailed, 6-0, at the half, with Moulton relegated to the sidelines in street clothes. In a scene we assure you would never be replicated today, “Moultie” convinced legendary Malden coach Bill Tighe to let him on the field, and he led his team to a win, complete with bloody bandages at the end of the game. #7 – Malden 19, Medford 14 (November 28, 1955): Dom Fermano was no stranger to Thanksgiving Day exploits, having scored twice in a Malden win over Medford as a star junior one year previously. In his senior season, with the game and the GBL Championship on the line, Malden trailed, 14-13, with under three minutes to play. Not for long. Fermano took a pitch, found some space and raced 40 yards for a Tornados touchdown, electrifying the crowd and giving Malden the winning points – and the GBL title, with a 19-14 victory. #6 – Malden 19, Medford 0 (November 22, 1951): For only the second time in series history, both teams came into the game unbeaten. Malden, at 7-01, was not in the running for either a league or Class A State Title. Medford, at 8-0, would share the Class A State Championship and league crown with Weymouth, if the Mustangs prevailed. Malden sent the Mustangs home empty-handed, no longer unbeaten, with a decisive, 19-0 victory. Malden finished with its last undefeated season at 8-0-1, and Weymouth won the league and Class A titles by winning its Thanksgiving game over (get this) Greenfield, Vermont, clinching a perfect 9-0 finish, its 37th straight win, spanning four years. TIE @ #5 – Malden 12, Medford 2 (November 26, 1931): A 12-2 win over Medford finishes Malden with its second unbeaten season (9-0-1) and Class A State Co-Championship in three years. Touchdowns by Sam Pashoian and Lloyd Tupper led the way. and Malden 0, Medford 0 (November 28, 1935): Defensive purists exult! The punting and the leg of Malden’s “Chuckin” Charlie O’Rourke, one of the best quarterbacks to ever wear the Blue and Gold – not his golden arm – and that of Medford Captain Art Wareham dominate in a battle of lines in a 0-0 scoreless tie, the second straight in the series that enables Malden to finish unbeaten (8-0-1) to win the Eastern Mass. Class A State title. #4 – Malden 28, Medford 0 (November 26, 1987): Who knew that the series would have the longevity it did possess, all the way up to 100 games? Malden-Medford celebrated in grand style, with commemorative program books and rings for all the participants, and Malden capped one of its best seasons in school history with a 28-0 shutout win, its eighth straight after an Opening Day loss to Melrose, at breezy Hormel Stadium. Malden drove to an undefeated (8-0) Greater Boston League Championship, its first in 12 years, and its best record (9-1) in over 30 years. The game drew a huge crowd and national television coverage by sports commentator Bob Costas. A pregame pep talk to Malden by former Tornados legend Dave Moulton appeared on national TV that day. Lawrence Hicks ran for 118 yards and scored two touchdowns. Bill Roderick passed for 152 yards, including a 46-yard toss to Carmine Cappuccio. Roderick also scored a TD, and J.P. Kelley had an interception for Malden. #3 – MALDEN 6, MEDFORD 0 (November 28, 1929): With both teams coming into the game undefeated, an all-time series record crowd of 18,500 inside the fence and an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 outside saw Malden Captain Sam Fishman lead the Golden Tornados to an unbeaten season (9-0-1) and a share of the Eastern Mass. title by returning a punt 55 yards for the only score of the game as Medford (7-1-0) fell by a 6-0 score. Coming just two weeks after the Stock Market Crash, which signaled the start of the Great Depression, this win lifted football fans’ spirits. #2 – MALDEN 35, MEDFORD 0 (November 24, 1910): Six different players scored as Malden clinched State and Suburban League titles with its 13th straight victory, 35-0. Malden finished with its best, most wins, only undefeated, untied (13-0-0) season in school history and went on to beat Providence (R.I.) Tech, 29-8, in a postseason game at Bryant Street Park. #1 – MALDEN 33, MEDFORD 14 (November 25, 1948): Dan Duggan scored twice and led Gator bowl–bound Malden to a 33-14 win, an unbeaten 9-0-1 record and Class A State Championship in front of a crowd of 12,983 at Municipal Stadium in Malden. The Golden Tornados squad, led by legendary Head Coach Warren McGuirk, would go on to be crowned “National Champs” in the Kiwanis charity game after blanking Robert E. Lee HS, 14-0, in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., Malden’s only football appearance – ever – in a game of this stature.
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 2, 2022 Page 19 THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS: Remembering the late Malden football Head Coach Paul Finn; coached more Turkey Day games than anyone and would have loved to have been at Fenway ‘Exilhomme Domination’: Brother duo, Coach Witche and game MVP Kevin, shared spotlight; Fenway crowd for Malden-Medford game #135 believed to be largest ever in series: over 3,000 By Steve Freker T he holidays – Thanksgiving time, particularly – are special times for a lot of reasons. One of them is that they are a time for reminiscing. Last Thanksgiving, we mentioned in this very same “leftovers” column the fact there were at least four former Malden High Head Football Coaches in attendance at the 2021 holiday rivalry game – maybe four. We think a fifth, Rich Cullen (1999-2003), might have been there, too, but we are not exactly sure. They included Steve Freker (2018-2021), Joe Pappagallo (2007-2015), John Lopresti (2004-2006) and of course, the longest-serving football head coach in school history, Paul Finn (1972-1998). Coach Finn was a head coach in more Thanksgiving Day contests against archrival Medford than anyone. He was appointed as head coach at a young age, barely out of college at age 25, for the 1972 season, and he “retired” at a young age as well – at 51 – an age when many head coaches of his era were just beginning their tenures at the helm. Coach Finn was not in attendance at the 135th meeting between the two teams at Fenway Park last Tuesday, but he absolutely would have loved it. An old-school student-athlete in his years at Malden High (Class of 1965), he was a standout for three sports: football, basketball and baseball. When the “Impossible Dream” Red Sox were playing in 1967, he was a sophomore at Amherst College, soaking it all in. Many times, following his retirement from the Malden Public Schools as an administrator, he would stop and catch an inning or two of our Malden High baseball team, his alma mater team, on his daily walk through Pine Banks Park from his nearby home, right next to the field. We sadly lost Coach Finn this past winter when tragedy struck and he passed away suddenly on February 7, way too young at age 74. The entire city of Malden Witche Exilhomme – the second-youngest ever appointed to that position last year at age 27 (second to the late Coach Paul Finn, see above) – and sophomore running back/linebacker Kervenson “Kevin” Exilhomme, 15, were the stars of the show. While Coach Exilhomme, a 2012 Malden High graduate (and star of the 2011 Turkey Day game), was steering his team to his second consecutive Thanksgiving Day win – Malden's seventh Thanksgiving win in a row over Medford – his brother was lighting it up on the field. Kevin Exilhomme scored three touchdowns, including opening REMEMBERING COACH FINN: The 135th Thanksgiving Game versus Medford at Fenway Park was the first one without the late former longtime Malden High Football Head Coach Paul Finn in attendance as a spectator, player or coach in over 60 years! Coach Finn passed away suddenly this past February, but he will be remembered always. and the hundreds of players he coached who had moved away physically, but never in spirit, from Tornado-Land, mourned him deeply. We believe some members of Coach Finn’s family were in the stands rooting on the Tornados in the iconic Fenway ballpark on Tuesday, and they remembered him with a great page in the Golden Tornado Club–sponsored program/ ad book. There is no doubt whatsoevGOLDEN TORNADOS CELEBRATE, MOST RETURN FOR 2023: Nearly all of the Malden High starters from the Thanksgiving win over Medford will return for the 2023 season. Shown above, with Fenway Park’s famous “Green Monster” in the background, from left: front row: junior Davian McGuffie, assistant coach Wiston Jeune, junior captain Gabriel Vargas Cardoso and junior Alex Avalos; back row: senior captain Andrew Louis, assistant coach James Brito-White, sophomore captain James Hyppolite, senior John Lloyd, junior Felix Da Costa and sophomore Matheus Brito. (Advocate Photo/ Steve Freker) er that the beloved Coach Finn, who literally touched thousands of lives in his 27 years as Head Football Coach and nearly 40 years as an educator and administrator in the Malden Public Schools, was at Fenway in spirit, looking down at the game and reveling in the 34-15 Malden victory! Rest in peace, Coach. You will not be forgotten. **** Exilhomme Family puts its stamp on another memorable Thanksgiving Football victory It is always a rarity when not one, but two members of the same family are the targets of the postgame media, following a big victory. Usually, if it does take place, it is perhaps a father-and-son, Coach and player scenario. On Tuesday, November 22, it was even more unusual: two brothers from the same family and both of whom had played key roles in the 34-15 Malden High School (4-6) win over Medford (2-9) in the 135th Meeting of the two teams, the longest continuous high school rivalry in America. Malden Head Coach EXILHOMME BROS. PUT STAMP ON GAME: The two Exilhomme Brothers – sophomore running back Kevin Exilhomme, who scored three touchdowns in the win over Medford at Fenway Park, and second-year head coach Witche Exilhomme, now 2-0 as a head coach, stopped for a photo with the Championship Trophy outside Fenway Park on November 22.

The younger Exilhomme also caught three passes for 21 REMEMBERING | SEE PAGE 20
Page 20 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 2, 2022 REMEMBERING | FROM PAGE 19 yards and made several tackles on defense. Coach Exilhomme became just the second “former Malden player who became head coach” to win his first two Thanksgiving games, following his immediate predecessor, Coach Steve Freker, as Malden won in 2018 (24-22) and 2019 (29-0). Witche, the second-year Malden coach, led the Blue and Gold to a 12-10 win in Malden last year. If the Exilhomme name sounds familiar, it should. The two middle brothers, both members of the Class of 2016 – running back Danley Exilhomme and defensive back D.J. Exilhomme – both starred for Malden in their three upperclassmen football seasons, from 2013-2015. In 2015, the two combined to score nearly all the Malden points in a wild, “Madden Football-like,” 5935 win over Medford, which set records in total Malden points scored (they needed every one of them – 59!) and total points scored by both teams: 94. Both Danley and D.J. went on to have stellar careers at Division 1 Central Connecticut State University (CCSU); D.J. also played one season at the University of South Alabama, and each have been seen on the Malden sidelines at a game or two this year. **** Coach Exilhomme gets huge honor, presented “Key to the City” by Mayor Christenson Earning the right to hold on to the Thanksgiving Championship Trophy for another year was not the only honor Malden Head Coach Witche Exilhomme received after the Game #135, 34-15 victory. Following the game, just down the street from the Ted Williams statue outside of Fenway Park, Malden Mayor Gary Christenson hosted a brief ceremony, surrounded by Malden High School players, coaches and supporters. After some brief words congratulating Coach Exilhomme for the big win at historic Fenway Park, Mayor Christenson announced he was presenting the coach with the “Key to the City.” “I’ve only presented the ‘Key to the City’ a few times before, but this is certainly the appropriate time to honor Coach Witche Exilhomme and the Malden High Football Team on such a historic night and fantastic victory,” Mayor Christenson, one of Malden High’s biggest sports fans, said to those gathered around. **** Crowd for MaldenMedford game #135 said to have been largest ever for Fenway Thanksgiving Series game Was that a record? Until someone tells us differently, the crowd of over 3,000 at Fenway for Malden-Medford game #135 was the largest ever for a Thanksgiving series game at the home of the Boston Red Sox. A week before the game, ticket pundits at Fenway Park were already saying the pregame sales had surpassed any other previous game. Then, to see the many Malden-Medford fans packing the right field/first base side stands, it made the case for the biggest attendance. In case you were wondering, yes, the Malden fans were the loudest, especially when they had the most to cheer about. **** Getting “streak-y” around here for Malden High; seven straight Thanksgiving wins ties record The 34-15 Fenway win made it seven straight Thanksgiving wins over Medford for Malden, from 2015-2023 (no Thanksgiving game in 2021), which ties a previous record of another seven straight wins from 20072013. Medford won, 38-12, in snow-covered Macdonald Stadium in Malden in 2014, between the two streaks. Malden has simply dominated since 2002, winning a whopping 18 of 20 games from 2002 to 2022. Medford’s 17-14 win in 2006, on an overtime field goal, and the 2014 victory for the Mustangs are the only highlights for the Blue and White. With this year’s win, Malden moved ahead in the all-time series with a 69-56 lead. There have been 10 ties. In 2004, the ancient series was deadlocked for the first time since way back, at 54-54-10. It has been almost “All Malden” since then. **** Malden Police provided police escort; former standout Tornados threesport player Sgt. Kelley was leading the way The Malden Police Department graciously supplied a police escort to and from Fenway for the game, which was invaluable in getting there amidst the rush hour traffic. The ride home was also tremendous, especially since Malden came away with such a memorable victory. The vehicle was manned by Sgt. J.P. Kelley, a 1989 Malden High graduate who played in two Greater Boston League (GBL) title-clinching Thanksgiving Day wins: in 1987 and 1988. Kelley was a teammate of another MHS standout from that era, Ptl. Michael Langston. Also in the police contingent was Sgt. Rob O’Brien, though O’Brien attended high school on the other side of town at Malden Catholic (Class of 2001); he is in his second year as a Malden Public Schools Resource Officer and has been an “honorary Tornado” for some time now. The Malden Police Honor Guard bore the Flag and the colors for the National Anthem, which opened the evening at Fenway Park. **** Bright future for the young Malden High Tornados football squad So, the Malden city motto, which was adopted during the administration of sitting Mayor Gary Christenson, is this: “Strong Past, Proud Future.” How about the Malden High football program – any suggestions? We’d say this one fits: “Bright Future, For Sure!” When was the last time a Malden High varsity football team started six sophomores and seven juniors in its Thanksgiving Game, including its entire offensive line? The juniors on Tuesday night were two-way linemen Karl Lange (center, nose guard) Jerrell Calixte (tackle), Joey Fils (tackle), defensive back Felix Da Costa, slotbacks Davian Mcguffie and Alex Avalos and wideout and co-captain Gabriel Vargas Cardoso. The sophomores: Kevin Exilhomme (RB-LB), James Hyppolite (LB), Earl Fevrier (OG-DL), Matt Brito (LB), Aidan Brett (QB) and Chris Rodriguez (OG-DL). That adds up to 19 of 21 starting positions returning to the field for the 2023 season for second-year Head Coach Witche Exilhomme, Think he’s excited about that, especially the way the team finished, with a resounding win on Thanksgiving at Fenway Park? “We as a coaching staff are really looking forward to what comes next,” Coach Exilhomme said. “We relied on a lot of previously inexperienced players to start the season, then when we had injuries to key players that knocked some of them out for the year, even more younger players were called on to provide big contributions.” “Yes, the future is very bright for this team,” the Malden coach agreed. “We have more than 85 percent of our team returning for next season and we intend on being prepared to challenge for everything.” **** EXTRA POINTS: The Malden FANTASTIC WIN AT FENWAY: The Malden High Football Team and coaches celebrated the big win over Medford at Fenway Park. (Advocate Photo/Steve Freker) stands were absolutely loaded with both former Golden Tornados football players as well as longtime supporters... There were also a lot of Malden Public Schools educators and administrators at the game, including second-year Superintendent Dr. Ligia Noriega Murphy, who was on the sidelines for most of the game... A large contingent of Malden High School teachers and administrators were up in a couple of the skyboxes, many of them guests of longtime MHS teacher Pat Laidley, who was the lucky winner of use of the skybox in a free raffle hosted by Malden High Principal Chris Mastrangelo. “It could not have gone to a better choice. Pat [Laidley] is one of the most dedicated educators we have at Malden High Schools. She is so committed to supporting our students and her colleagues.”... Malden High junior safety Felix Da Costa firmly established himself as one of the top “big play” guys not only in Thanksgiving history, but for the season. He led the team in defensive scores this year with five, and he had his third fumble return for a TD at Fenway. Da Costa also recorded his fifth pass interception of the season; two of them went for “Pick Six” TDs this year. One of the key returnees for 2023, no doubt... Malden junior co-captain, 6-5 wideout Gabriel Vargas Cardoso had two of the biggest offensive plays of the night: a big 21-yard pickup on a crucial drive and 4th-down-and-5 situation with Medford knocking on the door, down just 22-14, early in the fourth quarter, and then a 25-yard catch where it went to the Medford 2-yard line. Both of those Vargas Cardoso catches led to Malden second-half scores at the end of the drives... Two bigtime performances up front for Malden came from bookend junior linemen Jerrell Calixte (63, 270) and Joey Fils (6-1, 290). Both played both sides of the ball and both played tremendous football, as each has done all season. Both of them are bonafide Greater Boston League (GBL) All-Star considerations... Others up for GBL All-Star talk? Have to say sophomores Kevin Exilhomme, linebacker and co-captain James Hyppolite, junior safety Felix Da Costa and junior slotback Davian McGuffie... Despite being out-sized by a large margin, with Malden’s young offensive line averaging 6-1, 260 pounds, the opposing Medford Mustang line fought hard and certainly never lied down, making it a tight game for much of the second half... Speaking of the perhaps tighter than expected second half, when exactly could Coach Witche Exilhomme relax? “When the game was over, that’s it,” he said with a smile afterward... Seen in some of the Boston paper photos that depicted Kevin Exilhomme steaming down the sidelines on his way to a game-winning kickoff return touchdown was Malden Recreation coordinator and Macdonald Stadium superintendent Joe Levine. Levine was beaming with a huge smile, and it was fitting, as the Levine Family has been strongly connected with the Exilhomme Family for a number of years, dating back to when Coach Witche (Class of 2012) was a player for Malden High... Unsung heroes for the game were seniors Vidal Garner (6-0, 350), a D-lineman, and senior captains Kyle Paulding (FBDL) and Andrew Louis (TE-DE). All three made big plays when they were needed on both sides of the ball. Paulding had three catches and two big runs on offense, including a pair of 2-point conversions, Louis also contributed strong on both sides of the ball and “Big V” Garner was a force to be reckoned with in the trenches.

"“What we’re looking at is how long, how many times, and how often a kid is leaving the classroom; whether it’s for bathroom pass, hallway pass, nurse pass, or going to another teacher," Mastrangelo said. "When we're talking about our school, which has over 1,800 students, that adds up to a lot of passes, a lot of information needed to have people go back-and-forth," the sixth-year Malden High School principal added. The new SmartPass system also is efficient and helpful in monitoring students who are tardy in the morning, a process which formerly had administrative assistants tied up for unwieldy amounts of time to start each school day. Since the start-of-school launch of SmartPass, that time has been lessened considerably, namely with the use of the digital passes. The main goal of the SmartPass use is to monitor and ultimately, reduce the time spent out of class.Before SmartPass, there was no accurate way to even guess how many times a student may have received a pass to leave a class, for any reason. al Beer • had great baseball cards!

"We are not tracking students and there is no GPS element," Mastrangelo said, "We are in no way using this information or planning on using it to punish any students because of this digital data. "It has been another tool for our team to use when discussing ways students can improve their academic performance," Mastrangelo said. "It all starts with class time and stressing its importance to our students. The SmartPass system has already become an important part of our school culture." At a recent Malden School Committee meeting, Malden Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy praised the SmartPass system for its efficiency and the Malden High School administrative team for overseeing its use so far this school year. The Superintendent also said the system is being considered for use districtwide in all five of the K-8 schools for at least the middle schools for the 2023-24 school year.

Malden’s fourth City Hall in its long, storied history opened to much fanfare and ballyhoo two years back. A huge sigh of relief was heard when doors opened – all the way from Black Ann’s Corner in Linden to Donut Villa in Edgeworth. What a showpiece! State of the art this, state of the art that. Malden is well equipped to go toe to toe with any City Hall in the Commonwealth – a warm, inviting structure (thank you, Joel Ceide) that is as inclusive, is as welcoming, as any. Anywhere. The view from the Kenneth Desmond Roof Deck patio is a breathtaking look at downtown Malden – a view of Pleasant Street unlike any ever seen. Attention to detail was taken. Hogie made sure of that. I was very happy to find out that they’ve incorporated an ancient water fountain, dedicated in 1911 by the Delano family, to the outdoor landscaping, keeping Malden’s past alive right smack dab in the middle of its future!

So many good and hardworking individuals (hello, Maria Luise) made crucial contributions over the years to make it a reality – continuing to this very day. Thank you, too, all. Here’s to Malden’s proud past, and to its limitless future. Postscript: One thing that hasn’t changed over the many years (135 to be exact) is the pleasure Malden gets by beating our neighbors next door, Medford, in the annual Thanksgiving Day game (not Melrose as WCVB Channel 5 reported on the night of the big game). This year was extra special – being held at the “lyric little bandbox,” Fenway Park. Final score 34-15 with Coach Exilhomme’s little brother Kevin scoring three touchdowns along with killing it on defense with many bone-crunching tackles. The kids experienced the thrill of a lifetime as a contingent of Malden police escorted them to the ballpark and back. Glory days in real time. Congratulations to Coach Exilhomme and his staff for bringing pride (glory will come soon, I am sure) back to Golden Tornado land.
Page 22 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 2, 2022 avvya yavvy eniiooravvy S iorn or vvy io iori by Jim Miller How to Buy Over-theCounter Hearing Aids Dear Savvy Senior, I’m interested in getting some of the new over-the-counter hearing aids that just became available a few months ago. Can you off er any tips to help me with this? Straining to Hear Dear Straining, The new FDA approved over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids that started rolling out this fall are a real game changer for the roughly 48 million Americans with hearing loss. Adults with impaired hearing can now walk in and buy hearing aids at a pharmacy, big box chain, consumer electronics store or online, without a prescription and without consulting an audiologist. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved this new class of hearing aids to lower prices and improve their availability. About a third of people ages 65 to 74 and half of those over age 75 have hearing loss severe enough to aff ect their daily life. Yet about 80 percent of people who would benefi t from hearing aids don’t wear them, according to the National Institutes of Health, primarily because of the hefty price tag. Traditional hearing aids ordered through an audiologist cost anywhere from $1,000 to $7,000 a pair and are not covered by most private insurers and traditional Medicare. The new OTC hearing aids range from $200 up to $3,000. Who Should Get Them? OTC hearing aids are specifi cally designed for adults (18 and older) who have mild to moderate hearing loss. You don’t need a hearing exam or prescription to buy them, and they are designed so you can fi t and tune them yourself. Do you have mild to moderate hearing loss? The specifi c signs are having trouble hearing or understanding conversations, especially in noisier environments, over the phone, or if you can’t see who’s talking. Or, if you need a higher volume of TV, radio or music than other people, or have to ask others to speak more slowly, louder or repeat what they said. If, however, your hearing problem is more severe than that, for example, if you also have trouble hearing loud sounds such as power tools or motor vehicles, or if you struggle to hear conversations in quiet settings, then your hearing loss is considered more signifi cant than over-the-counter aids are intended to address. To help you get a basic sense of your hearing problem, you can take an app-based test like Mimi (mimi.health) or SonicCloud (soniccloud.com). If you fi nd that your hearing loss is signifi cant, you’ll need to work with an audiologist or hearing instrument specialist to fi nd a hearing aid that works for you. What to Look For To help you choose a good OTC hearing aid that meets your needs and preferences, here are some important points to keep in mind. Return policy: It can take weeks for your brain to adjust to hearing louder sounds through a hearing aid, so be sure to choose a brand that off ers at least a 30-day free trial period, or money back return policy. The FDA requires manufactures to print their return policy on the package. Set up: Many OTC hearing aids require a smartphone or computer to adjust and operate the devices to your specifi c needs, while others have the controls on the device. This will also be labeled on the box. Choose one that fi ts your preference and comfort level. Battery: The package also should tell you what kind of battery the device uses. Some of the older versions of hearing aids have replaceable batteries, but many of the newer ones have rechargeable batteries that come in a charging case, where you charge them up every night. Customer support: Some companies off er unlimited customer support to help you adjust or fi ne-tune your hearing aids, while others might limit support or charge extra. Be sure you check. For more information, including product reviews, see the National Council on Aging’s OTC hearing aids buyer’s guide at NCOA. org/adviser/hearing-aids/over-the-counter-hearing-aids.
