THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 20, 2024Page 3~ 375th Anniversary of Malden’s Incorporation as a Town ~Joseph Hills, lawmaker of the Mass. Bay Colonyand “godfather” of Malden, Part 2By Inna BabitskayaJoseph Hills compiled thecolonial laws, including 86clauses from Nathaniel Ward’s“The Body of Liberties,” into “TheBook of the General Lauues andLibertyes Concerning the Inhabitantsof the Massachusetts.” AsDeloraine Corey, noted Maldenhistorian and Hills’ descendant,wrote about him in “The Historyof Malden, Massachusetts,” “ifhe was not a lawyer by profession,he was so by his tendenciesand habits and perhaps byeducation.”However, Hills’ activities werenot limited to writing this book.As an energetic and active person,Hills prepared the copy forthe printer and supervised theprinting process, which wouldnot have been possible withoutthe other immigrant’s input.The prominent Rev. Jose Glover(1595/98-1638) from Surrey,England, decided to immigrateto the Massachusetts BayColony, fl eeing from ArchbishopLaud’s persecution of Puritans.As a widely educated person,he understood the powerof the printed word, and therefore,with the help of his friends,he bought a printing press forhis new homeland. In 1638,Glover with his family, servantsand printing equipment sailedaboard John of London to thecolony. He was accompaniedby a locksmith, Stephen Daye(1594-1668), whom he hired towork with the printing press (thecontract for two years includedpayment of 100 pounds). Gloveralso paid for the transportationof Daye, his family and hisservants. Unfortunately, duringthe passage, Rev. Glover becamesick, died and was buriedin the Atlantic Ocean.Daye’s contract with the reverendpassed to his widow, ElizabethGlover (1602-1643), whoinherited a press. Elizabeth notonly wanted to fulfi ll her husband’sideas, but being thedaughter of Reverend NathanielHarris – prominent in universityand ecclesiastical circles– she also valued books. Afterlanding in Boston, she decidedto settle near the college to becloser to her printing businessand bought the house of formerGovernor Haynes. The processof establishing the new businessinvolved getting approvalfrom the local magistrates andelders and finding a locationto set it up. So, she purchaseda house on Holyoke Street forDaye’s family.

In 1640, the “BayPsalm Book” was printed. It wastranslated into meter by threeministers – Richard Mather ofThe first printing press inBritish America (1639)was put on the fi rst fl oor there.Daye began to work as a printingmanager, together with his18-year-old son, Matthew, anapprentice printer. In 1638, theyprinted “The Freeman’s Oath,”which was written by GovernorJohn Winthrop in 1631. Atthat time, in order to become afreeman and a legal citizen, everyman who was over the ageof 20 and lived in a colony for atleast six months had to take it.In 1639, Daye published “AnAlmanac for New England forthe Year 1639” of the famousCapt. William Pierce (15901641),master of three shipsDorchester, John Eliot (the “IndianApostle”) and Thomas Weldeof Roxbury – and became verypopular in the colony during the17th century.

But CoachWettergreen’s Golden Galehoop team did not fare as well,going 6-9. Not to go down a rathole, but the star hoopster onthat squad was somebody I gotto know later in life, not on thehoop court, but as coworkers atFaulkner Mfg. on Eastern Avenue.Both Moyle “Duke” Langilleand I rolled awnings together fora couple of years, and believeme, “Duke” was what we calleda “real character.” He would regaleus with his hoop exploitsat MHS (scored 42 one gameagainst Quincy) and ya knowwhat? Didn’t believe a word hesaid until we stopped workingtogether and I spoke with a contemporaryof his who confi rmedMoyle’s hoop prowess.In 1951, Jerry Romano (heof “Monkey Corner” fame) wasclass president and is one goodlooking dude!

Risinghousing costs and homelessnessare not unique challengesfor our state, but we can leadthe way in solving them.Under the new law, an ADUmust:—Maintain a separate entrance,either directly from theoutside or through an entryhall or corridor shared with theprincipal dwelling sufficient tomeet the requirements of thestate building code for safeegress—Be either no larger than halfthe gross floor area of the principaldwelling or 900 square feet,whichever is smaller—Meet municipal restrictions,including, but not limitedto, additional size restrictionsand restrictions or prohibitionson short-term rentalWhat are thebenefits of ADUs?Property owner benefits:—Provides an additionalrental income for propertyowners, which can help offsetmaintenance and repair costs—Low-cost housing opportunityfor adult children andother relatives to remain intheir community—Provides long-term optionsfor seniors, either as anopportunity for caregivers tolive close by or to downsizewhile remaining in their communityRenterbenefits:—Adds affordable rentalunits to the housing stock tomeet the needs of smallerhouseholds—Long-term residents canstay in the neighborhood theylove and know (work in)Benefits to Massachusetts:—Increases much-neededaffordable and diverse housingopportunities—Provides accessible housingto seniors or persons withmedical needs or disabilitiesand their caregivers—Compact growth makesuse of our existing land use,structures and infrastructure,which can be more sustainableand far more economical thanbuilding a single-family homeon a new lot—ADUs are smaller and utilizeless water and electricity,making them a more sustainablehousing optionWinnCompaniesWinnCompanies is workingon a major project in Maldenregarding Affordable Housingat the moment. Gilbert Winn,CEO of WinnCompanies:“The groundbreaking AffordableHomes Act will havean immediate impact on theCommonwealth’s housingneeds by unleashing numerousaffordable and mixed-incomeprojects that had beenawaiting adequate resources tomove into construction.“It will deliver a tangibleboost to our state’s competitivenessand quality of life.We’re very fortunate to havethe Healey-Driscoll Administrationand a Legislature willingto commit tremendous resourcesto well-designed programsthat match urgency ofthe moment.”(857) 417-1936Check Engine Light On?

It is important weare proactive on this issue,” CouncillorLinehan added.Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowesaid she was surprised to seethe original resolution on thedocket. “The Mayor already hasa team assigned to work on thisissue. We have to have all partiesinvolved: the parking director,the city planner, building commissioner.It’s a bit premature torequest them now before theyare ready to present,” she said.“Things are fuzzy right now.”Councillor Linehan agreed.“It’s going to be here before weknow it. We have no problemwaiting until our officials areable to provide us with explicitdetails.”Councillor-at-Large CraigSpadafora said there are somepossible scenarios which couldbe problematic. “It’s clear … thatin a lot of cases it is not goingto be for a grandmother of anin-law. We are looking at situationswhere a four-family mighttry and go to a five-family or afive-family to a sixth apartment.“It’s a business,” he added. “It isunder the earmark of affordabilitylike the MBTA legislation butit could lead to more absenteelandlords trying to make moremoney.”“There’s no parking and absenteelandlords might see thisan opportunity to try and makemore money. [ADUs are] a seriousissue and it is advantageousto slow it down and get someanswers and guidelines,” Ward 7Councillor Chris Simonelli said.“We addressed somethingsimilar 20 years ago and we haveto closely see how this impactsus today,” Ward 2 Councillor PaulCondon concurred.Councillor-at-Large KarenColón Hayes supported morecity officials’ voices to be heardon that matter. “We definitelyneed some information andwe need people before us sothe public can get a better understanding,”she said. “I wasshocked to see this on the agendajust 10 days after getting anemail from [Mayor Christenson]advising us his team had begunworking on this issue. We haveto at least give them four to sixweeks to do their work on this.”“[Councillor Spadafora] is right.We really need to take our timeand do what is right for [Malden],”Ward 8 Councillor JadeaneSica said. “Landlords could tryand work this and try to makeanother apartment and another$2,500 a month. If we addedADUs and another unit to someof the housing in my neighborhoods– there is no parking as itis – it would be even more atrocious.”“Thedynamic housing is sucha huge issues around the Commonwealth.In other stateswhere they have [permitted]ADUs it has been a success,”Councillor-at-Large Carey McDonaldsaid. “Maybe there aresome opportunities where statemoney could help us and ameliorateimpacts.”“I do really appreciate whatthe Mayor’s Office is doing and Irepresent one of the wards mostheavily impacted,” Ward 4 CouncillorRyan O’Malley, who representsmost of Malden Square,said. “How do we incentivize this[new ADU plan] without beinginvasive to the neighborhood?That is the question.”RON’S OILCallForPRICEMELROSE, MA02176NEWCUSTOMER’SWELCOMEACCEPTING VISA, MASTERCARD & DISCOVER(781) 397-1930 OR (781) 662-8884100 GALLON MINIMUMScan QR Code Here!Over 515-StarReviews onGoogle &

Dunster revitalized thecollege by codifying its laws,creating its charter, establishingdegree requirements and reunitingthe students. When Mrs.Glover died, he inherited all herestate, including the printingpress, which he later gave to thecollege. He hired Matthew Dayeas the official printer instead ofStephen Daye, who was implicatedin some fraud.In 1648, Matthew Daye printed600 copies of “The Book ofthe General Lauues and LibertyesConcerning the Inhabitantsof the Massachusetts” underJoseph Hills’ supervision.Hills wrote in his “Notes” that “Idrew up in a book, close-written,consisting of 24 pages, infolio. For further improvement,the Gen. Court appointed mewith some others to composeand transcribe the Second Bookof Laws, copy-wise. I put forthmyself...devoting myself thereuntofor the most part of twoyears’ time.”According to Corey, the book“contained about fifty-six pagesof text, and other matter mayhave filled out the sixty-eightpages of the seventeen sheets...It was carried to each town inthe colony and was in the handsof all the leading men.” Moreover,it was brought to a fewother colonies, where it affectedtheir law-developing processes.Later, Hills participated in thelaws’ editing and was appointedmore times for that work thaneven Governor Richard Bellingham.This code of laws becamethe foundation for all the laws ofNew England, and later, of theUnited States.The colonists appreciated hiswork. In partial payment for hisefforts, he received 500 acres ofland on the Nashua River in NewHampshire and a remission oftaxes in his old age.To be continued…(Inna Babitskaya is a MaldenHistorian, a Member of the MaldenHistorical Commission andthe author of historical books“From Maldon to Malden,” “Timeof Converse” and “Fellsmere Park– Emerald of Malden.”)For Advertising withResults,call The AdvocateNewspapersat 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.netLike us on Facebook advocate newspaperFacebook.com/ Advocate.news.ma

Alongside Christina,Malden High environmentalscience teacher Kathy Magliowill receive the 2024 YouthEngagement Award. On September25 the awards will begiven at Clean Water Action’sannual Fall Celebration at theCharles River Museum of Industry& Innovation. Massachusetts’Climate Chief, MelissaHoffer, will deliver the keynoteaddress.“Christina Mui inspired everyonewith her passion for environmentalorganizing and herbelief in the power of her voiceto inspire others to take action,”said Clean Water Action’s YouthEngagement Program Manager,Omesa Mokaya. “And Kathy Maglioprovided unwavering supportand mentorship to the studentsin our Youth Action Collaborative.These awards honortheir leadership in buildingthe program for future students.”Additional 2024 awardeesare listed below. Clean Wa~Op-Ed ~Statement from Senator Lewison the MCAS Ballot QuestionIwill be voting in favor of BallotQuestion 2 that will endthe requirement that a studentmust achieve a minimum scoreon the 10th grade MCAS examsin order to receive a Massachusettshigh school diploma. I alsointend to file legislation in January(at the start of the new legislativesession) to implement analternative, non-test-based, consistentand rigorous statewidegraduation standard.Standardized tests like MCASprovide important and usefuldata about student learningand progress. Regardlessof the outcome of Question 2,MCAS will continue to be administeredin Massachusettspublic schools, including inGrade 10. However, standardizedtests are imperfect andcannot measure the full scopeof skills, knowledge, and competenciesthat we want to developin our young people andare critical for their future success.Standardized tests alsopose particular challenges forstudents with disabilities andstudents who are not nativeEnglish speakers. Researchhas shown that test scores arehighly correlated with studentdemographics, like family income.Ibelieve we can improve andstrengthen our public educationsystem for all students,especially disadvantaged students,if we replace the MCASgraduation requirement with amore holistic graduation standard.The legislation I will befiling will require all students(with certain exceptions) tocomplete MassCore, a recommendedset of courses forhigh school students. MassCorewas adopted by the MassachusettsBoard of Elementaryand Secondary Education in2007 and is currently recommendedfor all students, butnot required. Requiring completionof MassCore in order toreceive a high school diplomawould strengthen course offeringsacross all high schools, ensurethat all students are receivinga rigorous education, andprovide a consistent statewidegraduation standard. My legislationwill also consider otherways to encourage high-qualitystudent learning experiences,like capstone projects, servicelearning, vocational/technicaleducation, advancedcoursework, and work-basedlearning. In drafting this legislation,I will be consulting witha wide variety of stakeholdersand listening to the voicesof students, parents, teachers,and school administrators.Moving away from a graduationrequirement based onstandardized test scores andreplacing it with course requirementsand other richerstudent learning experienceswould also align Massachusettswith the vast majority ofother states.State Senator Jason LewisSenate Chair of the JointCommittee on EducationBeacon HillRoll CallBy Bob KatzenGET A FREE SUBSCRIPTIONTO MASSTERLIST – Join morethan 22,000 people, from moversand shakers to political junkiesand interested citizens, whostart their weekday morning withMASSterList—the popular newsletterthat chronicles news and informedanalysis about what’s goingon up on Beacon Hill, in Massachusettspolitics, policy, mediaand influence.

Maura Healey a bill thatwould allow the MassachusettsDepartment of Agricultural Resourcesto establish rules and regulationsfor dog kennels in theBay State, to ensure animal welfare,protect consumers and keepkennel staff safe. A person whoviolates the regulations wouldbe fined $500 for a first offenseand $1,000 for a second or subsequentoffense.Required regulations would includeobtaining a license from themunicipality, an annual inspection,dog to staff ratio specifications,injury reporting, indoor andoutdoor physical facility requirements,insurance and minimalhousing and care requirements.Supporters said that currently,the state has no oversight ofdog daycare or boarding kennels.Theyargued it is estimatedthat a dog is injured or killedevery 9 to 10 days in Massachusettsat these kennels. They notedthat many families have sufferedthe loss or injury of an animalat a dog daycare or kennelthat could have been preventedby commonsense regulationsover these facilities.The bill was filed by Sen. MarkMontigny (D-New Bedford) inmemory of “Ollie,” a 7-month-oldlabradoodle who was attacked byother dogs at a boarding kennelin East Longmeadow. Ollie neededround-the-clock care and surgeryand was in the hospital fortwo months before succumbingto his injuries. While the facilitywas shut down by town officials,Ollie’s owner Ann Baxter wasstunned to learn that there wereno state regulations regardingboarding facilities, and soon tookup the fight to help ensure tragedieslike this never happen again."Pets are family who provideboundless love and affection thatwe are lucky to receive," said Montigny."For this reason, it is criticalthat we ensure all businesses entrustedwith the care of our familyadhere to proper health andsafety protocols no matter whattown they operate in across thecommonwealth.Too often, wehave heard devastating storiesof pets like Ollie who have beeninjured or killed due to negligentcare.These people have no placecaring for such precious creaturesand it's time that we implementconsistent standards across Massachusetts.”RENAMETHE MASSACHUSETTSREHABILITATION COMMISSION(S 2941) – Gov. Healeysigned into law legislation thatwould rename the MassachusettsRehabilitation Commissionto MassAbility, a change that supporterssay will better define theagency’s role in supporting residentswith disabilities to live independently.They said the legislationalso removes outdatedand offensive terminology in theMassachusetts General Laws likechanging “handicap” to “barrier;”“handicapped” to “person with adisability;” and “retarded,” to “personwith an intellectual disability.”Supporters said the namechange reflects the intention toempower individuals living withdisabilities and move away fromoutdated terminology as the officeundergoes broad changes towarda more expansive model fordisability employment servicesand independent living.“Words matter,” said Gov.Healey. “This legislation ensuresthat the names and terms we useaccurately reflect the strengthand capabilities of the disabilitycommunity, supports our goalof helping the people we serveachieve autonomy and independenceand breaks down stigma.”“The new name MassAbilityand language changes reflectboth the state and agency’s commitmentto inclusivity, becausewe know that words matter,” saidHealth and Human Services SecretaryKate Walsh. “MassAbilityrepresents pride and self-determination.It’s about rights andequal access. It’s about buildinga future and being fully presentand counted in the world.”“This historic legislation representsthe state’s commitmentto propelling the disability movementforward,” said MassAbilityCommissioner Toni Wolf. “Languagehas the power to shapepeople and culture, tackle stigmas,biases and stereotypes. Fortoo long, the words we’ve usedhave not reflected the strengths,resilience and determination ofthe disability community. Thislegislation changes that. We arechanging life in Massachusetts forthe better, making it more equitable,accessible and inclusive forpeople with disabilities.”“The new name MassAbilityand language changes reflectboth the state and agency’s commitmentto inclusivity, becausewe know that words matter,” saidHealth and Human Services SecretaryKate Walsh. “MassAbilityrepresents pride and self-determination.It’s about rights andequal access. It’s about buildinga future and being fully presentand counted in the world.”ADD 225 LIQUOR LICENSES(H 5039) – Gov. Healey signedinto law a bill adding 225 new alcohollicenses for the City of Bostonover the next three years.Supporters said the licenseswould be distributed across 13Boston zip codes, expanding equityfor restaurant owners in historicallyunderrepresented partsof the city and boosting economicopportunity in communities ofcolor that have been systemicallyexcluded for decades.They noted that sit-downrestaurants in Roxbury, Dorchester,Mattapan, East Boston, Roslindale,West Roxbury, Hyde Park,Charlestown, Jamaica Plain andthe South End now stand to benefitfrom the restricted licenses.They said that the high price tagof up to $600,000 for existing licenseshas been a major obstaclefor businesses looking to turna profit, including in underservedneighborhoods.“Neighborhood restaurantsplay such an essential role in ourcommunities and our economy,"Healey said. "This bill will lowerbarriers for Boston restaurantsto provide the services that theircustomers are looking for andhelp them succeed, while alsosupporting local nonprofits, theatersand outdoor spaces.$362 MILLION SUPPLEMENTALBUDGET (H 5050) – TheHouse and Senate approved andsent to Gov. Healey a $362 millionto help close out fiscal year 2024.Key provisions ratify and fundsome 38 collective bargainingagreements and direct $228 millionin funding for the AmericanRescue Plan Act Home and CommunityBased Services.Other provisions include $20million to replace lost federalfunding for victims of violentcrimes; $29.7 million in early educationand care subsidies to ensureproviders can maintain accessfor all income-eligible familiesin need of childcare; $5.6million for tax abatements forveterans, widows, blind personsand the elderly; $5.1 million tosupport increased demand forthe Healthy Incentives Programwhich provides fresh healthyfood options and supports localgrowers; and $2.1 million forWomen, Infants and Children nutritionservices to fully supportthe current caseload of recipients.“The funding included in thissupplemental budget is critical,as it addresses a number of importantissues affecting residents,invests in workforce developmentand ratifies dozens of collectivebargaining agreements,”said House Speaker Ron Mariano(D-Quincy).“Today’s funding will ensurethat our workers get the raisesthey deserve, and that vital supportsystems across our statehave the resources they needto close out the fiscal year,” saidSenate President Karen Spilka(D-Ashland).“The essential funding containedin this supplemental budgetwill help fund important programsand approve numerouscollective bargaining agreementsthat will help essential employeesour commonwealth relieson,” said Rep.

Thus, Malden was enteringthis one with a scaleddownagenda: 1) Simple offense;2) Aggressive defense;and that old axiom from the AlDavis “School of Football,”...3)“Just win, baby!”Malden had plenty of confidence,coming into the gamewith the most teamwide experiencethan the last five seasonsput together. Regardless, fourthyearHead Coach Witche Exilhommeand his coaching staffstill came in with more questionmarks than “The Riddler” fromthe Batman chronicles.Just like when your coach tellsthe players that all the butterflieswill fly away after that firstgood hit, so goes a lot of anxietywhen somebody grabs thegame by the throat and runsaway with it – literally. Maldenhad already taken a 7-0 leadearly when senior quarterbackAidan Brett had capped a 9-playMalden offensive drive with a4-yard burst up the B-gap. FreshmanWaslin Etienne’s PAT madeit 7-0.Next up? Meet Malden Highsenior split end Johnson Huynh,#4 in your 2024 Tornado footballroster. Like many of his teammates,Huynh was far from 100percent physically, but deemedfit for duty despite being limitedin practice for the past 10days with various ailments. Onhis first touch of the day, Huynhfielded a Tech Tiger punt at hisown 39-yard line, fake-steppedleft and split two receivers anddashed to the right sideline;about 12-15 yards later, he wassuddenly across midfield. Andwith 30 yards left – nothing elsein front of him – he went all theway for a 61-yard punt returntouchdown, the very first scoreof his Malden career. A conversionrush stalled and Maldenquickly led, 13-0.Malden’s defense, led by seniorcaptain Earl Fevrier and juniorlinebacker Zachary Johnson,held Tech to a three-andoutand it was punt time again.Actually, it was #4’s time again.Once again, they boomed apunt downfield, and for thesecond time of the night, it wasJohnson Huynh underneath,this time at Malden’s 43-yardline.There were no fakes and jukesthis time. Huynh just used a hardand fast step, busted throughthe Tech first line and blazed 57yards in all, back into the endzone. Quickly, Malden owneda 21-0 lead, and there were stillfour quarters to be played.By scoring twice on back-tobackpunt return touchdowns,Huynh tied a Malden school recordfirst set in 1976 and thentied again on ThanksgivingDay in 2015 by the brother ofthe present coach, Danley Exilhomme,in running back thetwo punts for scores. “That wasa huge boost for us and gave usa ton of confidence to keep going,”Coach Exilhomme said. “Wewere very happy for Johnson[Huynh] who worked as hardas anyone to get ready for thisseason and had been fightingthrough some injuries. He’s oneof many of our guys trying to establishhimself in a role. I thinkhe really found one [tonight].”After surrendering a touchdownto Tech in the secondquarter that cut the lead to 207,Malden would add to its leadwith another score right beforethe end of the first half. ZachJohnson made a big hit on theLynn Tech return man on Malden’sonly punt of the first half,causing a fumble at the Tech 35yardline with 1:43 left to go inthe second quarter. Malden seniorWyatt Dessert recovered forthe Tornados, setting up Maldenfor one last drive.

Unfortunately for Malden,all that commotion came to ascreeching halt once the secondhalf began. For the rest of thegame, it was a stall-fest for theTornado offense, with Lynn Techhanging in there and making aserious bid for a season-openingupset. The Malden defense stillplayed tough with some heavycontact, and for most of the evening,“bend and not break,” butLynn Tech was still able to penetratethe Malden secondary andzip in two more scores to morethan make it a ballgame.Tech Quarterback Jadiel Ortega,who had run in his team’sonly score to that point in thesecond quarter, found the endzone with touchdown passesin the third and fourth quarters.Lynn Tech scored the onlypoints of the third quarter for eitherteam: a 34-yard TD pass toa wide open Dereon Phipps. Inthe fourth quarter, after a turnoveron downs by Malden, LynnTech mounted another scoringdrive and went five plays inlightning speed to cut the leadto 27-20 Malden with 7:55 leftto play,Leading by one score, 27-20,with 3:38 left on the clock andhaving possession of the ball,the Tornados appeared to be onthe verge of sealing the win witha time-eating drive. But Maldenchose to try and punch in onemore score to put the gameaway. Unfortunately, it did notwork out that way, as two passesfrom Brett were right on themoney, but one was droppedand other went off another receiver’shands incomplete. Maldenchose to quick-kick punton fourth down with Brett doingthe honors, and Tech had alife with just under two minutesleft to play in the game, with theball on their own 38-yard line.Ortega was far from done.He hit a medium range pass toPhipps for a gain of 15 yards tothe Malden 47-yard line. TheLynn Tech QB then scrambledto the Malden 37-yard line beforebeing stopped by beingknocked out of bounds. Withjust seven seconds left to play,Tech had one last play, and adesperation pass by Ortegawent off the outstretched fingertipsof Phipps at the Malden17-yard line with open greenahead of him as time expired.“It’s the first game of the seasonand it’s pretty chaotic attimes,” said Coach Exilhommein an online report. “Everyoneis trying to find themselves andfigure out what they have.

We can get by withother players like Zach Johnsonand Kevin [Exilhomme] steppingup, but how much strongerare we with both of our captainsout there on the field?”... Maldenalso saw continued progressfrom freshman standoutJayden McGuffie, a 5-11, 180speedster who can play mostevery skill position offensivelyand defensively. “You alwaysthink you want to go slowlywith the younger players, butJayden is ready right now andhe shows it every time he isout there.” McGuffie, who hadtwo older brothers play (andplay well) for Malden High beforehim, including Davian McGuffielast season, looks like hehas a promising career ahead ofhim in a Tornado uniform...

Page 18THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 20, 2024OBITUARIESBarbara J. (Burnett)DaughertyA longtime resident of Malden.Passed away on Saturday, September14, 2024, at the WoburnNursing Center.Barbara was bornin Stoneham in1943, the daughterof Eugene andGeorgina Burnett.She was raised and educated inMalden, graduating from MaldenHigh School with the Class of1961. After her marriage to KennethDaugherty, the two settleddown to raise their family. A dedicatedwife and mother, Barabarawas also a genealogy buff .She is survived by her husbandCAPITAL GAINS TAX ANDIRREVOCABLE TRUSTMany people question ifthey place real estateinto a Medicaid qualifyingtrust what will happen uponthe death of the Donor/Settlor/Grantorsome years downthe road.If the irrevocable trust isdrafted properly, the real estatewill receive a full step-upin cost basis equal to the fairmarket value at the time ofthe Settlor’s death. Therefore,going forward, the originalpurchase price and improvementsover the years becomeirrelevant. The benefi ciaries ofthe Trust are treated as if theypaid fair market value for thereal estate at the time of theSettlor’s death.Why is this important? If thechildren/beneficiaries wereto sell the appreciated propertyshortly after the Settlor’sdeath, there would be little orno capital gains tax to pay. Thecapital gains tax to be paidwould be based upon any furtherappreciation between thetime of death and the subsequentsale.As an example, let’s assumethe Settlor purchased hishome for $500,000 with approximately$100,000 in improvementsduring the Settlor’slifetime. The cost basisin the hands of the Settlor inthis case would be $600,000.If the Settlor had subsequentlytransferred his home to anirrevocable trust, and died 10years later when the valueof the home was $1,000,000,the cost basis in the handsof the benefi ciaries would be$1,000,000. If the propertywere sold by the benefi ciariesfor $1,000,000, there would beno capital gain, and hence, nocapital gains tax to be paid.If, however, the Settlor hadsimply given the propertyto his children without firsttransferring to such an irrevocabletrust or without reservinga life estate withinthe deed of conveyance itself,a future sale by the childrenfor $1,000,000 would resultin a capital gain of $400,000with a corresponding federal(15%) and Massachusetts (5%)capital gains tax to be paid of$80,000. Depending on theother income of the children,the federal capital gains taxrate could be as high as 20%.Furthermore, you might alsoget hit with the federal “net investmentincome tax” of 3.8%.Instead of the total rate being20%, the children could belooking at a total rate of 28.8%,or $115,200. When you simplygift an appreciated asset outrightto the children, there iswhat we call a “carry-over”basis in the hands of the children.That is to say, the cost basisin the hands of the Settlorbecomes the cost basis in thehands of the children. No stepupin cost basis occurs.This concept of a step-upin cost basis would also applyto appreciated securities suchas a brokerage account, commonstock, preferred stock,etc. Reserving the right to use,occupy and possess the realestate during the Settlor’s lifetimewill result in a step-up incost basis upon the Settlor’sdeath. Reserving the right toreceive the income generatedby the assets housed inthe Trust would also result ina step-up in cost basis uponthe Settlor’s death. In order toobtain the benefi t of InternalRevenue Code Section 121,which allows for the $500,000capital gains tax exclusion fora married couple when theprincipal residence is sold, aprovision allowing for a lifetimelimited power to appointTrust principal to charities willaccomplish that objective.Joseph D.

He has some balance issues along with arthritis inhis hips and could use a little more help than a cane provides.Wobbly in WisconsinDear Wobbly,When it comes to choosing a walker, there are several styles andoptions to consider, but selecting the best one for your father willdepend on his needs, as well as where he’ll be using it. Here aresome tips that can help you choose.Types of WalkersThere are three basic types of walkers on the market today. To helpyour dad choose, consider how much support he’ll need. Then, paya visit to a medical equipment store or pharmacy (see Medicare.gov/medical-equipment-suppliers) that sells walkers so he can testwalka few. Here are the diff erent types he’ll have to choose from.Standard walker: This is the most basic style of walker that hasfour legs with rubber-based feet (no wheels), is very lightweight (5to 6 pounds) and typically costs between $30 and $100. This typeof walker must be picked up and moved forward as you walk, soit’s best suited for people who need signifi cant weight bearing support,or who are walking very short distances.Two-wheeled walker: This has the same four-leg style as the standardwalker except it has wheels on the two front legs that allowyou to easily push the walker forward without lifting, while the backlegs glide across the fl oor providing support while you step forward.These are best for people with balance issues and are pricedat around $50 to $150.Rollator: This is a rolling walker that has wheels on all (three orfour) legs. Four-wheel rollators typically come with a built-in seat,basket and hand-breaks and are best suited for people who needassistance with balance or endurance inside or outside the home.Some rollators even come with pushdown brakes that engagewith downward pressure and will lock if you sit on the seat. Or, ifyou dad needs to navigate tight spaces at home, three-wheel rollators,which don’t have a seat, are a nice option. Rollators typicallyrun between $60 and $250.Other TipsAfter deciding on the type of walker, there a few additional thingsyou need to know to ensure it meets your dad’s needs.First, be sure the walker’s height is adjusted appropriately. To dothis, have your dad stand with his arms relaxed at his sides. Thehandgrips of the walker should line up with the crease on the insideof his wrist.If your dad is a large person, verify that the walker’s weight capacitywill support him, and if he chooses a four-wheel rollator, thathis body can fi t between the handgrips when sitting. Heavy duty(bariatric) rollators with higher weight capacities, bigger wheelsand wider seats are also an option.Your dad also needs to test the handgrips to make sure they’recomfortable and be sure to purchase a walker that folds up (mostdo) for easier storage and transport.There are also walker accessories that can be added for conveniencesuch as food tray attachments, tote bags for carrying personalitems, oxygen tank holders, and tennis ball walker glides thatgo over the feet of a standard walker to help it slide more easilyacross the fl oor.For more tips on how to choose and use a walker, visit Mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/healthy-aging/in-depth/walker/art-20546805.It’s also a smart idea to work with your dad’s doctor or a physicaltherapist, and be sure to get a written prescription, as Medicare willcover 80 percent of the cost.Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
