Mac and I were inthe same MHS graduating class(1961) and we played all sportstogether. Before he passedaway, we were playing “singles”tennis together well into our70’s. Since high school graduationhe would call me FrankMalzone because for 3 years atMHS, I was the third baseman,Italian, and my initials were FM.He was a wonderful human being,great to all kids, and funny.He wasn’t happy that I receivedthe 1961 (only) baseball trophyover him, so, each year I had himcome to house, hold my trophyfor one minute, then give it backto me to put back on my mantle.Many laughs!” Thank you,Fran, for sharing such wonderfulmemories.• “Inside information”...sourcesinside Mr. Singleton’s camptold me Mac was drafted bythe Chicago White Sox in 1966(I am working on a comprehensivebackground check onMac’s baseball career – staytuned), but instead embarkedon a career in professional football,signing out of college withthe then Boston Patriots.

Loved Malden tohis core.” Thank you, Lorri.• “Malden Musings” apropos ofnothing...I again watched thatfantabulous episode of QuincyM.E. starring one of the fi nest actorsof our time, Jack Klugman.This episode (“Next Stop, nowhere”)centered on the (then)current “epidemic” of slam dancingto punk music. First airing in1982, punk rock and slam dancingwere somewhat passé at thispoint – peaking around 1980 orso. Nonetheless it was a fi ne episode(and no, Quincy did notjoin in the mosh pit fun). Wesaw our fi rst mosh pit (or whatresembled a mosh pit) at Cantone’son Broad Street in Boston’sFinancial District in April1978. We stumbled upon anoddly named band called HumanSexual Response, and at“Land of the Glass Pinecones,”they had us! We became rabidfollowers that very same night.A few short years later Humansbassist Rich Cortese was livingon Adams Street. We had an extremelyenlightening conversationwith him one night in Albert’sBeer Garden at the SaintRocco Feast. Years later I wouldfi nd out that our hoop buddywith the outsized personality atthe old Y was none other than(the late great) Mario Cantone,owner of the Italian Restaurantturned iconic punk rock hotspot.

Using the testto gauge students’ readiness forgraduation came 10 years later,in 2003.If the question passes andthe graduation requirement isscrapped, kids would still have topass necessary coursework in English,math and science – the subjectscovered in the MCAS exams.Question 4: Limited Legalizationand Regulation of CertainNatural Psychedelic SubGerryLikeus on Facebookadvocate newspaperFacebook.com/Advocate.news.maMonogram D4 Double sidingCedar impression half roundsD’AmbrosioAttorney-at-LawIs Your Estate in Order?Do you have an update Will, HealthCare Proxy or Power of Attorney?If Not, Please Call for a Free Consultation.14 Proctor Avenue, Revere(781) 284-5657stancesVoters seem split on Question4, which asks whether the stateshould legalize some therapeuticuses of psychedelics and decriminalizepossession and the growingof small amounts for homeuse; 42% said yes, while 44% saidno, putting the question wellwithin the poll’s margin of error.If passed, Question 4 would allowthe supervised cultivationand use of plant-based psychedelics(mushrooms and mescaline)by people 21 or older.

Page 10THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 27, 2024Malden’s Revere Knitting MillsBy Phillip WrightInformation and Local HistoryLibrarianMalden Public LibraryAs the temperature graduallydrops and we transitioninto fall, I begin planning andworking on knitted gifts for theupcoming holiday season. I willlikely take on too many ambitiousprojects and end up havingto purchase knitted goodsto compensate for my unrealisticgoals… If only Revere KnittingMills’ factory store were stillopen! Just a five-minute walkfrom the library, the companyhad a storefront at 108 FerryStreet. They sold knitwear andyarn for hand knitting that wasproduced around the corner attheir factory on Eastern Avenue.Revere Knitting Mills was oneof Malden’s many successful industries.It was active in Maldenfrom 1919, when the companywas founded, to 1958. Thecompany was still operationalafter 1958, but it relocated toWakefield.Revere Knitting Mills wasfounded in 1919 on BryantStreet by Maldonians David Hillson,Bertram Green and HymanSolomon. By May of 1921, thecompany had purchased andbuilt a factory on the corner ofFerry Street and Eastern Avenue.You can see “Revere KnittingMills” carved in stone at 124126Eastern Avenue to this day.The company had need to expandits factory, and in 1929 a$40,000 project to build an additional18,000 square feet wascompleted. All of this additionalspace was anticipated to yield a50 percent increase in their production.The company’s locationat 108 Ferry Street was convertedto a storefront in 1934. In additionto selling men’s and women’sknitwear, they also had asection for hand knitting supplies.Sales must have been successfulbecause the storefronton Ferry Street underwent renovationsto double in size withinthe year.In September of 1937, thecompany joined the Internafronton Ferry Street, however,stayed in Malden.Bertram E. Green was with theMalden’s Revere Knitting Mills’ factory was on the corner ofFerry Street and Eastern Avenue.tional Ladies Garment WorkersUnion. This dramatically benefittedRevere Knitting Mills’ workers.A few examples of this are a10 percent increase in wage, a40-hour work week and an increasein pay for overtime work.The agreement with this unionwas only scheduled for one year.Shortly after the agreementexpired, in November of 1938,a meeting took place betweenmanagement and employeesabout wages. The results of thismeeting must not have pleasedthe company’s workers because218 employees went on a weeklongstrike three days later. Legalefforts were taken to reducethe size of the strike. There wasan official ruling that factoryworkers could not strike on behalfof storefront workers. Uppermanagement of the companysought to quickly resolvethe issue. There was a meetingbetween company officialsthat caused workers to call offthe strike.A fire broke out in August of1938. Ironically, not much damageoccurred because of the fire,but there was significant damageto goods that occurred becauseof the sprinklers and water.The fire was caused by theoverheated motor of a sewingmachine.Revere Knitting Mills remainedin Malden until 1958 when thefactory moved to an even largerlocation in Wakefield. The store~Guest Commentary ~Towards an Educational, Leadership, Communication,Cross-Cultural skills, and Tech Outreach to Current MigrantsBy Nekita LamourAs the reactions and/or responsesabout Haitians inSpringfield, Ohio had spreadthe world after the presidentialdebate, I’d like to mention, thereis a significant growing populationof Haitians in the regionand the city in particular in needof urgent educational, Tech,linguistic, cultural adaptationskills. As seen in the past severalyears calls to organizations tosubmit proposals for the AmericanRescue Plan Act (ARPA) orCOVID funds, I would like to suggestthat local ARPA fundingcommittee(s) consider allocating,“putting aside,” some of theARPA funds to plan for a conversationaround those aforementionedneeds by December 31,2024 when the funds are to beobligated. Some actions wouldbe implemented by 2026 whenthe ARPA funds have to be used.US Census 2020 reported9,723 Blacks or African Americansin the city, but not statingspecific ethnic groups of Africandescent. As officials have calculatedthe number of Haitians inSpringfield, Ohio through severalmeans such as school, health,social service, and housing recompanyfor many years. Hewas one of the founding membersof the company in 1919,became treasurer and eventuallybecame the president thatoversaw the company’s moveto Wakefield in 1958. Greenwas considered a civic leader ofMalden in his time; he was involvedwith many Malden projectsduring his 75 years in thiscity. To name a few, he was presidentof Malden Hospital, presidentof the Malden School Committeeand a founder and lifelongmember of Temple TiferethIsrael.Want to learn more about RevereKnitting Mills (or anythingelse about Malden)?

Basedon my observations as a formerCensus enumerator, I have seenin 2010 that Haitians live in everyWard in the city. As a Ward5, Precinct 1 resident of the SalemStreet area for 25 years whohas family and friends in Ward7, I could say the majority of anestimated 6, 000 to 7,000 Blacksof Haitian descent are concentratedin Ward 5 Precinct 1 andWard 7 areas.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 27, 2024Page 11SKILLS | FROM PAGE 11has a weaker leadership thathinders their ability to apply forgrants and use them to improvethe lives of their fellow citizens.Haitians and other Black demographicswould need alternativeways to use available resourcesand create programs ARPAfunds could be used for. Be it the2009 President Obama’s stimuluspackage or the COVID ARPAfunds, some vulnerable ethnicgroups barely had funding goingdirectly to their communitiesto use as culturally and linguisticallyfit. Hence, based onexperience and years of observationsand direct communityinvolvement, I’d like to proposethat municipalities set asidesome funds be it ARPA, Title I,Title III or other funds for Education,Leadership Development,Communication, Cross-Culturalskills, and Tech Outreach to communitieswith less structuredleadership. Some staff could behired to manage those allocatedfunds, something similar toa line item that will go towardsgrassroots leadership development,cross-cultural, technologyskills, English language and/or ESL training for group(s) thatneed it.As a veteran educator, I alwaysbelieve that to bridge theAchievement /Opportunity Gap,we have to bring the leadershiptogether to focus on creatingan internal learning and literaryenvironment that is on parwith the school curriculum andculture. Training stakeholderson school curriculum and culture,doing Tech Outreach, providingbasic technology skills,learning English and many otherskills needed to navigate lifein a new city or country will fallwithin the realm of Educationthat ARPA and other educationalfunds allow.Having been active in the regionfor five decades, I am seeingthe lack of basic skills, understandingof the US culture, learning,and cross-cultural awarenessthat were not built up overhalf a century is creating a colossalcrisis we are facing now withnew migrants having TemporaryProtected Status (TPS) and holdersof President Biden’s two-yearHumanitarian Parole Program.Allocating, and/or “settingaside,” some of the ARPA fundsfor group(s) with weaker leadershipand hire some staff to helprun it until 2026 will have longtermbenefits locally, regionally,and nationwide.Nekita Lamour is an educatorwith a theological formation fromthe former Cambridge-basedWeston Jesuit School of Theologythat merged with Boston Collegein 2008.

Page 12THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 27, 2024~ 375th Anniversary of Malden’s Incorporation as a Town ~Joseph Hills, lawmaker of the Mass. Bay Colonyand “godfather” of MaldenBy Inna BabitskayaBesides writing the laws,Joseph Hills representedCharlestown in the GeneralCourt in 1646–47. He was chosenSpeaker of the House ofDeputies. Also, he was electedas a captain of the town militia.In 1647, Hills moved to thelarge farm in the north part ofthe town, Mystic Side, near theMystic River. He purchased the20 acres of Thomas Ruck and aportion of Thomas Coytmore’slot on each side of the SalemPath, which was a woodland. Hebuilt there a house and anotherone on the Salem Path near thepresent Sprague Street.This part of Charlestown beganto be quickly populated,and two years later, in 1649,the question arose about forminga new town. It was incorporatedafter the separation fromCharlestown. For his services asan outstanding member of thecommunity, Hills was given thehonor of naming it. He chosethe name Malden for the MysticSide, after the English Maldon,where he lived before theimmigration. Thus, he becamethe Malden’s “godfather,” and hisname forever remained in thememory of descendants.Joseph Hills was active inmany aspects of colonial life.Thus, in 1648, he was the firstof a committee of four membersthat changed the locationof the highway between Winnesemet(Chelsea) and Redding.In 1650, he became a memberof a committee that had to drawup instructions for the Mass. Baydelegates for the meeting of thecommissioners of all the colonies.In 1653, he was one of sixmembers of a committee thatshould consider whether theUnited Colonies have power bythe articles of agreement to engagethe colonies in war. Also,he was one of the colonial asJosephHills’ signatureWaitt’s MountMagistrate, 17th centurysistants and an auditor of Treasuryaccounts in 1650, 1653 and1661. Joseph Hills was a knownphilanthropist and contributedto the Harvard Library.In 1650–56 and 1660–64, Hillsrepresented Malden in the GeneralCourt. Hills’ traditions werealso actively supported by themembers of his family. From1666 till 1684, his son-in-law,Capt. John Wayte/Waite (1618–when seven of his children andgrandchildren died.For a long period of time, JoMapof Malden1693), who was married to Hills’daughter Mary, succeeded himin the General Court. Wayte wasa nephew of the Rev. NathanielWard, whose “Body of Liberties”Joseph Hills used in hiscompilation of the first coloniallaws. Wayte served as a Maldenclerk and selectman for manyyears, captain of the trainbandand commissioner to end smallcauses. One of Malden’s most famouslandmarks, Waitt’s Mount,was named after him.Joseph Hills was married fourtimes and had 18 children fromhis marriages, 13 of whom livedto adulthood. His first wife, Rose,died on March 24, 1650. On June24, 1651, he married Hannah(Smith) Mellows, who died fouryears later.It was his third marriage thatled to his violation of the coloniallaws that he wrote years earlierand to his appearance before agrand jury. The early colonial regulationsrequired that all marriageshad to be solemnized by themagistrates. Being a magistrate“for the trial of small causes,” in1656 Hills married himself to HelenAtkinson. While officiating hisown marriage, Hills was followingGovernor Bellingham, who,in 1641, as a magistrate, marriedhimself to Penelope Pelham andrefused to plead to a complaintagainst himself. But, unlike GovernorBellingham, Hills freely acknowledgedhis offense and hismisunderstanding and was admonishedby the Court. After Helen’sdeath, in March 1665, Hillsmarried Ann Lunt and moved toher home in Newbury, where helived until his death.Over the years, Hills had tocope with many family tragedies,losing three of his wivesand eight children. But 1674 wasan especially hard year for him,seph Hills experienced serioushealth issues. Unfortunately,as was written in his petitionto the General Court from May24, 1682, “in the latter part of hispilgrimage” he was “totally” bereavedof “the sight of his eyesfor more than 4 years now past.”In his petition, Joseph Hills summarizedthe results of his communityservice: “Your petitionerhad not been backward to hisability to be serviceable with hisperson and estate to the commonwealth;for besides otherordinary services, it pleased thecourt to make him one of thecounty committees to draw upsome orders necessary for thecountry.” Hills petitioned to befreed “from all public assessmentsto the country, county,(and secular things for the townif it may be) for my infirm personand little estate now left,during the remaining part of mypilgrimage in this vale of tears.”Joseph Hills died at Newburyon February 5, 1688. Joseph Hillsleft a significant trace in the historyof Malden and Massachusettsand can be rightfully consideredone of the main heroesof Malden’s 375th anniversary.Among his descendants therewere noted poets Ralph WaldoEmerson and Emily Dickinson,playwright Tennessee Williams,First Lady Lucretia Garfield, suffragistLucy Stone, animator andfilm producer Walt Disney, chefJulia Child, choreographer MarthaGraham, Hollywood starsHumphrey Bogart, KatherineHepburn, Clint Eastwood, AnthonyPerkins and Oliver Platt,and many others.To be continued…(Inna Babitskaya is a Maldenhistorian, member of Malden HistoricalCommission and author ofhistorical books “From Maldonto Malden,” “Time of Converse”and “Fellsmere Park – Emerald ofMalden.”)

However, standardized tests areimperfect and cannot measure thefull scope of skills, knowledge, andcompetencies that we want to developin our young people and arecritical for their future success.

MassCorewas adopted by the MassachusettsBoard of Elementary andSecondary Education in 2007 and iscurrently recommended for all students,but not required. Requiringcompletion of MassCore in order toreceive a high school diploma wouldstrengthen course offerings acrossall high schools, ensure that all studentsare receiving a rigorous education,and provide a consistent statewidegraduation standard. My legislationwill also consider other waysto encourage high-quality studentlearning experiences, like capstoneprojects, service learning, vocational/technicaleducation, advancedcoursework, and work-based learning.In drafting this legislation, I willbe consulting with a wide varietyof stakeholders and listening to thevoices of students, parents, teachers,and school administrators.Moving away from a graduationrequirement based on standardizedtest scores and replacing itwith course requirements and otherricher student learning experienceswould also align Massachusettswith the vast majority of other states.State Senator Jason LewisSenate Chair of the JointCommittee on Education

The GLO Initiativewill provide technical assistanceto approximately 200 communitiesnationwide.“There is no safe level of leadexposure, and that’s why theBiden-Harris Administration isproviding funding and technicalassistance to help identifyand replace lead service linesin Massachusetts and aroundthe country,” said EPA Chief ofStaff Dan Utech. “The Get theLead Out Initiative is a big steptowards the goal of 100% leadservice line replacement inMassachusetts.”“Everyone deserves to havesafe, clean water in theirhomes, no matter where theylive or how much they earn.With today's announcement,we’re helping six communitiesin Massachusetts acceleratethe replacement of lead pipes,protecting children and familiesfrom the harmful effectsof lead exposure,” said EPA RegionalAdministrator David W.Cash. “This support, made possibleby the Biden-Harris Administration’sBipartisan InfrastructureLaw, helps to ensurethat no community is left behindwhen it comes to accessingthe resources needed tomake that a reality.”Consuming lead in drinkingwater can cause serious healthimpacts, including irreversibleharm to brain development inchildren. To protect childrenand families, the Biden-HarrisAdministration’s Bipartisan InfrastructureLaw invests a historic$15 billion to replace leadpipes and deliver clean andsafe drinking water, includingover $50 million for Massachusettsjust this year alone.The Bipartisan InfrastructureLaw also allocated another$11.7 billion to the GeneralSupplemental Drinking WaterState Revolving Fund, whichcan be used for lead pipe replacement.However, manyunderserved communitieslack the resources to plan forlead pipe replacement and accessfederal investments. Thetechnical assistance providedthrough the GLO Initiative willhelp ensure that no communityis left behind in the opportunityto replace lead pipes.Locally, under the GLO Initiative– to move quickly towardthe goal of 100% leadfreepipes – EPA will support:• Malden will receive assistancewith lead pipe identificationthrough field verificationsand door-to-door effortsto identify private servicelines, along with excavationwork. Additionally, Maldenwill also receive help developinga comprehensive communityengagement plan aimed atimproving outreach efforts, encouragingcustomer participationand providing translationservices for better communityinvolvement.• Revere will receive supportin identifying lead pipesthrough the development of afield verification plan and conductingexcavations. Reverewill also be assisted in creatinga lead service line replacementplan and in communityoutreach by developing engagementmaterials, supportingpublic events and offeringtranslation services to reach asmany residents as possible.What they are saying“Access to clean, safe drinkingwater is a basic human right.Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration’sBipartisan InfrastructureLaw, we’re going tokeep children and families safeby finding and replacing nearly200,000 lead pipes across theCommonwealth, including inChelsea, Fall River, Malden, Melrose,Revere, and Taunton,” saidU.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren.“It’s simple: every Massachusettsresident—regardless oftheir zip code—deserves accessto safe, clean drinking waterin their home, school, andplace of work,” said U.S. SenatorEdward J. Markey. “I am proudto have fought for the fundingin the landmark BipartisanInfrastructure Law that madethe Get the Lead Out Initiativepossible, and I won’t stopfighting until all Massachusettscommunities with old buildingstock have achieved 100% leadservice line replacement.”“We are grateful to theBiden-Harris Administration’sBipartisan Infrastructure Lawwhich affords Malden the opportunityto participate in theEPA’s Get the Lead Out Initiative,”said Malden Mayor GaryChristenson. “The assistancewe will receive to identify leadservice lines and educate residentsof the significant healthhazard is critical in making surethat everyone in our communityhas clean, safe drinking water.We also thank EPA for theircollaboration in these efforts. Itis these partnerships that willcreate healthier and safer environmentsfor our residents.”“The City of Revere is committedto providing our residentswith the safe, high qualitydrinking water they have alwaysknown and enjoyed. OurDPW teams have been workingfor the past several years to inventoryevery service line in thecity – identifying and replacinglines with traces of lead at nocost to homeowners. We aretaking an aggressive approachto our goal of 100% lead freeand are grateful to have theEPA as partners in acceleratingour progress with critical additionalresources. This work is agreat example of partnershipacross local, state and federalgovernment to provide ourresidents with the services theydeserve,” said Revere MayorPatrick M. Keefe Jr.BackgroundSigned in 2021, the BipartisanInfrastructure Law provideda historic $50 billion investmentin drinking waterand wastewater infrastructure,dedicating more than $15 billionto replacing lead servicelines and another $11.7 billionto the General SupplementalDrinking Water State RevolvingFund. EPA is committedto ensuring every community,particularly underservedand disadvantaged communities,can access their fair shareof this unprecedented investmentthrough a robust portfolioof Water Technical Assistanceprograms, such as theGLO Initiative.As part of the Administration’swhole-of-governmenteffort to tackle lead exposure,EPA will help communities removethe barriers to lead pipereplacement. Through GLO,EPA will develop tools and casestudies to share informationand best practices betweenthe agency, state and Tribalprograms, water system managers,and community leaders.More informationFor help on identifying leadservice lines in your home,check out https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/protect-your-tapquick-check-lead-0,an onlinestep-by-step guide.

The host Highlandersthen delivered the knockoutpunch by scoring a game-winning,2-point conversion in double-overtimeto clinch a 42-40victory and end its 11-seasonleague losing streak.And so, Dickens was againon point in the last part of theopening sentence in, “...it wasthe epoch of belief, it was theepoch of incredulity.” For Maldenand Head Coach Witche Exilhomme,it was hard to believe,hard to comprehend and, nearlya week removed, still difficultto process.“It is hard to explain the feelingafter a game like that. Theemotions are so high and thenso low,” Coach Exilhomme said.“I have never seen such a dominatingperformance like thenight Jayden [McGuffie] had, forany player, let alone a freshman.“Then, to have the game endlike that. We seemed to have thewin right there for the taking,but we just could not put them[Somerville] away,” Coach Exilhommesaid. “We needed onebig stop on a couple of occasionsduring the regulation andthen during overtime and thegame would have been ours.We just didn’t get it.”On this night, Malden hadnearly all of the “bright light”highlights, while Somervillestuck to the “slow and steadyMUSINGS | FROM PAGE 6read his name along with hischildhood goombahs shoutedout as fine hoopsters out ofthe Groovey Grove.

McGuffiewas simply phenomenal, scoringtouchdowns on long yardageruns of 87 yards and 65yards on Malden’s first two offensiveplays, after Somervillehad taken a first quarter leadof 8-0 on a 17-yard run by big,bruising 6-1, 220-lb. fullbackGavin Fucile (4 TDs, 167 yardsrushing on 22 carries).Malden took a 14-8 lead afterMcGuffie’s two long rushingscores. Somerville tied thegame with a late scoring driveright before the end of the firsthalf to make it 14-14.

With about 2minutes left in the third quarter,after an 81-yard drive wherehe ripped off runs of 31 and 22yards, McGuffie busted off anotherlong scoring run, a 35yardtouchdown burst over theleft end – his 4th TD of the evening– to make it 28-14, Malden.Malden had a chance to rollup even more of a lead withsome more McGuffie runs, followedby a 9-yard run by Earl Fevrier.At one first-and-goal from’70’s, Jimmy and his boyos were,each and every one, stand-upguys.

Each Highlanderstandout scored anothertouchdown each, Fucile’s thirdTD coming with under a minuteto go in regulation, followed bya 2-point conversion run to tiethe game at 28-28.Malden had seen a great opportunityto go ahead into the30s at 35-20, had a pass to a wideopenreceiver not gone rightthrough the receiver’s hands.“We had several great opportunitiesto score more pointsand put the game away, butwe just did not take advantage,”Coach Exilhomme said.Tied at 28-28, the game wentto overtime, which consistedof the “10 Yard Fight” format,with each team getting a firstand-10set from the 10-yardline.

There is a separate Declarationof Homestead formdesigned for Trusts.A Declaration of HomesteadThis past August, our StateLegislature passed SessionLaw 2024, Chapter 150,Section 51, An Act relative tothe Affordable Homes Act.Contained within this legislationwas an increase in thehomestead exemption from$500,000 to $1,000,000 for allMassachusetts homeowners.The prices of homes have increasedso much over the pastseveral years, this type of legislationwas certainly warranted.This increase in the exemptionapplies retroactively toany valid homestead that ahomeowner has already declaredand recorded at theappropriate registry of deeds.There is no need to declareand record another homesteadto take advantage of thenew $1,000,000 exemption.Under the current law, yourprincipal residence that youown is automatically protectedup to $125,000. It wouldhave been nice if the legislaturesimply made the automatichomestead $1,000,000.The $125,000 exemption issimply too small with the pricesof homes in Massachusetts.A primary residence also includesa manufactured homeand a mobile home. Refi nancingyour mortgage will not terminateyour homestead exemption.Furthermore, since2011, homeowners are ablealso protects the sales proceedsupon the sale of yourhome for up to one year afterthe date of sale, or on thedate when a new home is purchasedwith the net sales proceeds,whichever occurs fi rst.If your home is destroyed byfi re, the insurance proceedsare protected for a period oftwo years after the date ofthe fi re or on the date whenyour home is reconstructed,or a new home is purchased,whichever is earlier.The homestead is designedto protect the equity in yourhome against creditors orlawsuits of any nature. Federal,state and local tax liens arenot protected by the homestead.Neither are you protectedin the event you defaulton a mortgage secured byyour home, or against a lien byMassHealth’s estate recoveryunit seeking reimbursementfor Medicaid payments madeon behalf of the homeowner.Child support and spousal supportorders issued by a ProbateCourt are also not protected bythe Declaration of Homestead.If a married couple are bothage 62 or more, the elderlyhomestead protection thenincreases to $2,000,000. Thatrepresents excellent protectionfor the home. Everyhomeowner in Massachusettshas to declare a homesteadand record it at the registryof deeds. The protectionis invaluable.Joseph D.

Can you off er any tips that can help me with this?Still KickingDear Kicking,If you’re looking for a simple and aff ordable way to go, cremationis an excellent choice, and one that’s become exceedingly popularin the United States. About 60 percent of Americans are now choosingcremation over a traditional burial, versus only around 20 percentin the mid-1990s.Why the big shift? Price is a key reason. A basic cremation can costas little as $700 to $1,200, depending on your location and provider,versus $7,500 or more for a traditional funeral and cemetery burial.Geography is another factor, as many families are spread acrossthe country, making future gravesite visits less common.Here are a few tips to help you arrange your cremation and ensureyou get a good deal.Shop AroundYou can arrange a cremation through a funeral home or a cremation-onlybusiness, but it’s wise to shop around because pricesvary widely. It’s not unusual for one funeral home to charge $1,000,while another charges $4,000 or more for the same service.Call fi ve or six funeral homes or cremation-only businesses inyour area and ask them how much they charge for a “direct cremation,”which is the most aff ordable option there is. With directcremation, there’s no embalming, viewing or memorial service. Itonly includes the essentials: transportation of the body; requiredpaperwork such as death certifi cates; the cremation itself; and returnof the ashes to the family, usually within a week.If you want a viewing, memorial service or anything beyond whata direct cremation provides, ask the funeral home for an itemizedprice list so you know exactly what you’re paying for. All funeralproviders are required by law to provide this.To locate nearby funeral homes, Google “cremation” or “funeral”followed by your city and state. You can also shop and compareprices from funeral homes in your area at Funeralocity.com.Cheaper UrnsThe urn is another item that can drive up your cremation costs.Funeral home urns usually cost around $100 to $350, but you aren’trequired to get one.After cremation, your family will receive your ashes in a thick plasticbag inside a cardboard box. This is all they need if you intendto have your ashes scattered, but if your family wants somethingto display, Amazon.com and Walmart.com both sell a wide varietyof urns for under $50.Green CremationIf you’re an environmentally conscious person, there’s also agreen cremation option you should know about called “alkaline hydrolysis”that chemically dissolve the body. This is a gentler, moreeco-friendly process than traditional cremation, which uses combustion.It’s legal in more than 20 states, and costs around $2,000to $3,500. Google search “alkaline hydrolysis” followed by your cityor state to fi nd for a provider.Free CremationIf you’re interested in a free fi nal farewell, you may want to considerdonating your body to a university medical facility. After usingyour body for medical research or surgical practice they will cremateyour remains for free, and either bury or scatter your ashes ina local cemetery or return them to your family, usually within a year.To fi nd a medical school near you that accepts body donations,the University of Florida off ers an online directory at Anatbd.acb.med.ufl .edu/usprograms.Whatever arrangements you end up making, make sure you tell yourfamily your wishes so they will know what to do and who to call after yourdeath. Also, if you have a written agreement with any funeral/cremationprovider, give them a copy to let them know if you’ve prepaid or not.Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
