The campaignraises awareness of overdose,which has impacted everycommunity. Too many familieshave lost loved ones, butthis campaign and others like itcan save lives.According to the MassachusettsDepartment of PublicHealth, between January andMarch 2024, there were 85 confirmed opioid-related overdosedeaths. In 2023, there was a totalof 2,104 confi rmed opioid-relateddeaths in the state. However,this was 232 fewer than 2022.Nationally, according to theCDC, there were an estimated107,543 drug overdose deathsin the United States during2023—fortunately, a decreaseof 3% from 2022. This has beenthe first national annual decreasesince 2018. However,synthetic opioids continue tobe involved in three-quartersof all overdose deaths acrossthe nation.Overdose prevention campaignswork tirelessly to preventthese deaths among peopleof all ages. There are practicalresources, tools, and informationthat individuals, families,and communities can useto increase awareness, preventoverdose, and save lives.Some Massachusetts drug edwww.810bargrille.comucationand prevention resourcesinclude those off ered by theDepartment of Public Health,by removing the stigma.Moreover, you should beMichaelLeachsuch as information about naloxone,training, and resources.The Massachusetts SubstanceUse Helpline, 1-800-327-5050,or text “HOPE” to 800327, off ersoverdose prevention.One of the most recognizednational awareness and preventionresources is the InternationalOverdose Awareness Daywebsite, which provides extensiveresources and ways to getinvolved. The National HarmReduction Coalition off ers evidence-basedstrategies thatreduce the risk of overdose. Finally,the National Safety Councilprovides resources for theworkplace.It’s important to rememberthat overdose is preventable.Any one individual or local communitycan increase awarenessthrough practical approachesand eff ective campaigns. Beginby keeping in mind that stigmaor the fear of stigma stopssomeone struggling with addictionfrom sharing their problemswith friends or family. Stigma,for example, can come from individuals,family members, clinicians,or the community. Begincome familiar with the factsabout fentanyl and fentanyl analogs.Fentanyl is 50 times morepotent than heroin and 100times more potent than morphine.Fentanyl is commonlymixed into fake prescriptiondrugs and illicit street drugs.Most overdose deaths occurbecause of polysubstanceuse, which occurs when two ormore drugs are taken together,whether intentionally or unintentionally.The primary risk factorsassociated with overdoseinclude mixing drugs, tolerance,quality of the drug, using alone,age and physical health, modeof administration, and previousnon-fatal overdoses.Also, familiarize yourself withlife-saving Naloxone. In Massachusetts,authorized and licensedpharmacies can dispensenaloxone to anyone atrisk or in a position to helpsomeone at risk without a prescription.Mostimportantly, rememberthose we have lost to overdoseand acknowledge the grief ofthe family left behind. Overdoseaff ects everyone, and thisshould also fuel our commitmentto end overdose and allof its related harms.International OverdoseAwareness Day 2024 focuseson how every individual actionmatters and how coming togetheras a community creates adecisive collective action. Overdoseawareness is for everyone,for people who use drugs andthose who don’t, for familieswho have lost loved ones, forhealthcare workers, advocates,and activists. These are necessarysteps everyone can take tosave lives, protect communities,and safeguard families.Michael Leach has spent mostof his career as a healthcare professionalspecializing in substanceuse & addiction recovery.He is a Certifi ed Clinical MedicalAssistant (CCMA) and the PublicRelations Offi cer at DRS.For Advertising withResults,call The AdvocateNewspapersat 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net

Long live short- andlongtime Maldonians!Before we continue, a briefwalk down Peter F. Levine memorylane, which will all tie intothe genesis of this article (Ithink). The Levines originatedin Boston’s West End (ScollaySquare, Leonard Nimoy, RuthRoman, The Howard Theater,Joe & Nemo’s, Lawrence Berk).Displaced and exiled to CarneyCourt in Charlestown by Rappaportand the BHA when theymercilessly tore the heart andsouls out of thousands of WestEnders with the destruction ofthe West End. “If you lived here,you’d be home now…” thatdreadful and terrible reminderfor thousands haunting eachand every exile as they travelledStorrow over the years.On a West End side note, oneof the only good things to comeout of the West End’s demise/betrayal was that a lot of greatfamilies who were displacedby the ruination of a way of lifemade it to Malden – the Skiffi ngtons,the Spinellis, the Jotkis, theDownies and the Papas, to namebut a few.Once again, I digress...Goodfortune fi nally rained down onSolomon and Dorothy Levine(as well as their ever-expandingbrood) through the sheergoodwill of my father’s employerand patron saint, Agar Supply’sowner Karl Bressler. A mitzvahfor the ages, the Levine’s arrivedon Charles Street in early1963 just in time to enjoy the renaissancesweeping throughoutMalden at the time. Thank you,Karl (tzaddiq) Bressler.Which at last brings this tediousintroduction to (somewhat)of a crescendo. This week’sarticle will take a “Malden Musings”look at that history making,earth shaking, pants dropping,heart-stopping year of 1963(sorry, Bruce, I borrowed fromyou once again). Malden in 1963is not to be confused with Maldenin 2024. It was a vastly diff erentanimal in so many ways, yetso similar (as you will see). I’ll explain(eventually).

TheMassachusetts Bay Companyhired Graves on March 10,1628. As was written in his contract:“This 10th March 1628-9,I, Thomas Graves of Gravesend,in the County of Kent, gent, andby my profession skillful and experiencedin the discovery andfinding out of iron mines, asalso of lead, copper, mineral salt,and alum, in fortifications of allsorts, in surveying of buildingsand of lands and in measuringof lands, in describing a countryby map; in leading of waterto proper uses for millers orother uses; in finding out sortsof Lyme stone and materialsfor building; in manufacturing,have this present day agreedto serve the New England and,during my stay there, to do mytrue and uttermost endeavorfor the most good and benefitof said company.”The compensation of Mr.Graves was to be his passageto and from New England, fivepounds a month while in NewEngland. In case he remainedfor three years, the companywas to pay transportation forhis wife and five children, plusa boy and maid servant, whowould join him. Additionally,after three years, the MassachusettsBay Company was togrant him a house, 100 acres ofland and the first crop plantedthat his family “may subsist.” Hissalary after three years was tobe reset from five pounds permonth to a yearly allowance offifty pounds for the year, beginningon the first day of his arrivalin New England.In the company’s letter fromApril 17, 1629, sent by GeorgeBonaventure to Governor JohnEndecott (1688-1665), Graveswas described as “a traveller indivers forraigne parts to gainehis experience” and was highlyrecommended “as much for hishonesty as for his skill.” So, theCompany instructed Endecottto consult with Graves regardingthe future settlement: “Wepray you take his advice touchingthe premises and where youintend to sit down in, to fortifyand build a town that may bequalified for good air and water,...andmay have as much naturalhelp as may be.”Soon after his arrival in NewEngland, Graves sent to Englanda flattering descriptionof the colony: “I never came in amore goodly country in all mylife… If it hath not at any timebeen manured and husbanded,yet it is very beautifull inopen lands, mixed with goodlywoods, and again open plaines,in some places five hundredacres…not much troublesomefor to cleere…no place barren,but on the tops of the hills; thegrasse and weeds grow up toa man’s face, in the lowlandsand by fresh rivers abundanceof grasse and large meddoweswithout any tree or shrubbe...”Graves, who traveled a lot,could compare the new landwith the countries that he hadvisited before. He underlinedthat “I never saw, except in Hungaria,unto which I always parallelthis countrie…for everything that is heare eyther sowneor planted prospereth far betterthen in Old-England: Theincrease of corne is here farrebeyond expectation, as I haveseene here by experience in barly...And cattle doe prosper verywell, and those that are breddhere farr greater than those withyou in England.

Page 14THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 16, 2024DIAMOND DUST: Babe Ruth is known for manyfeats and baseball wizardry... but not THIS one!What he did in the Game 7 of the 1926 World Series has NEVER been replicated;but was it a blunder or a simple missed opportunity?Editor’s Note: For over a decade, from about 2005 until it closed up shop in January 2017,the late Malden Evening News ran a regular column called DIAMOND DUST about variousbaseball topics, written by Malden baseball icon the late Bob Rotondi. Today, we attemptto bring back the column, which will publish on as regular a basis as possible.By Steve FrekerThere is no player more celebratedat the National BaseballHall of Fame in Cooperstown,N.Y., than the immortalBabe Ruth. There are over 50 individualexhibits – virtually thegreater part of an entire wing–commemorating the career ofthe player frequently crownedthe greatest of all time. But therewas one game, a Game 7 of oneof the greatest World Series everplayed, for which Babe Ruth wasfar from the most popular playerin the ballyard when it was concluded.TheSt. Louis Cardinals defeatedRuth’s New York Yankees 4games to 3 in the best-of-7 series,which took place from October2 to October 10, 1926, atYankee Stadium in New Yorkand Sportsman’s Park in St. Louis.This was the first World Seriesappearance (and first NationalLeague pennant win) for the Cardinals,and would be the first of11 World Series championshipsin Cardinals history. The Yankeeswere playing in their fourthWorld Series in six years after winningtheir first American Leaguepennant in 1921 and their firstworld championship in 1923.They would play in another incredible36 World Series (and remarkably,win 26 of those).The ending of Game 7 endedin rather infamous fashion,in baseball terms. Every baseballaficionado knows this: Nevermake the first out or third outat third base. The reason is that,with nobody out and a runner atsecond base – already in scoringposition – you have three outs togive the hitter a chance to movethe runner over, or drive the runnerin with a base hit, and withtwo outs, you want to give thehitter a chance to drive them in.There is no real baseball “saying”on this one, but what Babe Ruthdid to end Game 7 and hand theCardinals their first-ever WorldSeries was questionable.In Game 7, the Yankees, trailing3–2 in the bottom of the ninth inningand down to their last out,Ruth walked for the fourth timeof the game, bringing up BobMeusel. Surprisingly, Ruth, a decentbaserunner in his own right,took off for second base on thefirst pitch. Meusel swung andmissed, and catcher Bob O’Farrellthrew to second baseman andplayer/manager Rogers Hornsby,who tagged Ruth out, endingGame 7 and thereby crowninghis Cardinals World Serieschampions for the first time. The1926 World Series remains theonly Series to date which endedwith a baserunner being caughtstealing.Revisited, at the time, The NewYork Times and The SportingNews both reported the play wasa botched “hit and run,” calledby Meusel – with a hand signal– to Ruth, from the plate. ThenMeusel missed contact with thepitch, turning Ruth into a veritabledead duck, with Hornsbykneeling and waiting, ball inglove after the throw by O’Farrell,the catcher. The “hit and run”is a means of getting the runnermoving from first to second, withthe intention of it being basicallymandatory the hitter makes contactto try and catch the infieldersout of position, to make surethe runner gets to second base.The problem we, as baseballarmchair purists, would havewith that explanation is, “Really?Hit and run with TWO OUTS?”Nah. We don’t buy that one.If The Babe was trying to makesomething happen with histeammate hoping against hopeto get a hit against one of thegreatest pitchers of all time inGrover Cleveland Alexander, wecan see that. But it’s rarer thanrare to see any baseball gameend on that particular play –caught stealing – let alone inGame 7 of the World Series!****Unusual game-ending playfrom 1926 World Series actuallyconcluded a Malden Highgame that Tornados won thispast springThe play that ended the 1926MLB World Series where BabeRuth was caught stealing withHere’s the play that ended the 1926 World Serieswhere Babe Ruth (left) of the New York Yankeeswas caught stealing with a tag of St. LouisCardinals second baseman Rogers Hornsby(right).

Malden High juniorcatcher Bo Stead fired a missileto second, and the seniorcaptain and second basemancaught the throw and taggedthe runner for the third out, endingthe game. For Stead, it washis second runner thrown out inthe game and perhaps the biggestone of his three-year varsitycareer, as Malden completedthe two-game season sweep ofClassical.****St. Louis Cardinals all-time greatest pitcherGrover Cleveland Alexander is followed offthe field by teammates at the end of theGame 7, first-ever World Series clinchingwin.Historic Fraser Field in Lynn will be the site of the 19th AnnualLynn Invitational Showcase being held on August 13, 14 and 15.For more information, go to www.lynninvitational.com (Courtesy Photo)Question of the WeekOnly five MLB Baseball Hallof Fame inductees appear withtheir permanent honoree bustswith “no logo” on their hats, apparentlyall of them signifyingthey played or were a teammanager for multiple teams.Can you name them for points?****Lynn Invitational Showcaseevent is coming next week; remainsthe most heavily recruitedin the areaThe most heavily recruitedbaseball showcase event forunderclassmen high schoolbaseball players returns to FraserField in Lynn next week.The 19th Annual Lynn Invitationalwill be held on Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday, August13, 14 and 15.

Milonopouloswould go on to ring up twomore hits and go three-for-threeon the night with a whoppingfour RBIs out of the number 9slot in the batting order. Rightbehind him at number 10 wasChris Macdonald, who had twoclutch hits and two RBIs to makethe bottom of the order the offensivestars of the day.Back to the top of the fourthinning, that loud “Boom” everyoneheard at Howard Park/RotondiField when Simpson tookthe mound was the MaldenHigh All-Star slamming the doorshut for the Bambinos. All he didwas strike out the side for twostraight innings – in the fourthand the fifth – and the first twobatters of the sixth inning, eightstraight K’s, before a hitter managedto get a base hit. A fly ballout ended that threat.Meanwhile Malden scoredanother run in bottom of thefourth, two more in the fifth fora 6-2 lead and two in the sixth foran 8-2 lead, mostly on the continuedheroics of Milonopoulosand Macdonald, as the pairdrove in most of the rest of theruns.

They said this processis onerous and has resultedin disparate benefits beinggranted on a case-by-case basis.“Our first responders goabove and beyond to keepour communities safe and respondto emergencies,” saidGov. Healey. “That’s why it’s criticalthat we support them whenthey experience emergenciesof their own.

The seller would also haveto provide the reason the chemicalswere added to the equipment.Beginning on January 1,2027, the bill prohibits any personfrom manufacturing, knowinglyselling or distributing anyequipment containing intentionallyadded PFAS chemicals."My office originally filedthis bill in 2019 in collaborationwith The Professional Firefightersof Massachusetts (PFFM)and Clean Water Action,” saidleadsponsor Rep. Jim Hawkins(D-Attleboro). “With each legislativesession, we refiled, improvedupon the language andaided in the unwavering dedicationof PFFM as they advocatedtirelessly for their members… Despite improvements incancer care, our firefighters arestill becoming sick and dyingfrom occupational cancers at arate more than twice the generalpopulation. It is our duty toprotect those who protect us. Iam proud to have played a partin this momentous passing.”“Ask anyone how the majorityof firefighter line-of-dutydeaths occur — most willprobably guess smoke inhalationor on-call injury,” said Sen.Mike Moore (D-Millbury). “Theshocking truth is that, from2002 to 2019, cancer accountedfor 66 percent of firefighterdeaths, according to the InternationalAssociation of Firefighters.PFAS exposure fromfirefighting equipment is a crisisfor firefighters and the communitiesthey serve.”“This is great news,” said DeirdreCummings, MASSPIRG’sLegislative director. “Firefightersput their lives on the line to protectus in an emergency, and wemust make sure the gear theywear will protect them.”VETERANS BENEFITS (S2817) – Gov. Healey signedinto law legislation designedto benefit veterans in the BayState by broadening the definitionof a veteran, increasingtax credits and state benefitsfor which they are eligible andmodernizing the services onwhich they rely.Provisions include increasingbenefits for disabled veteransand Gold Star family members;bolstering new and existinginitiatives for municipalitiesand businesses to support veterans;creating comprehensiveservices for active-duty servicemembers and military families;expanding the scope of the VeteransEquality Review Board;and codifying medical, behavioralhealth and dental benefits.The measure also requiresseveral working groups to reviewpost-traumatic stress disorderin veterans, mental healthtreatments for veterans andoverall quality of life for veteransin Massachusetts.Supporters said the legislationwill boost support for hundredsof thousands of individualsacross the state who haveserved in the United States military,including nearly 30,000women veterans and thousandsof LGBTQ+ veterans.“This is our most comprehensiveveterans legislation in over20 years, and it’s the result ofMassachusetts coming togetherto make veterans our priority,”said Gov. Healey. “From thestart, our administration hasbeen dedicated to revitalizingveterans' services in Massachusetts,ensuring that every heroreceives the benefits, resourcesand support they deserve. Aswe celebrate the 250th anniversaryof our country – we can andwill be the state where veteransand service members continueto lead and make all our freedomand success possible.”“Massachusetts has a longhistory of prioritizing the needsof our veterans and servicemembers and I am thrilled thatthe [bill] is on its way to the governor'sdesk to continue thistradition,” said Sen. John Velis(D-Westfield), Senate chairof the Committee on Veteransand Federal Affairs. “Less thanone half of one percent of ournation bravely raise their righthand and pledge to defend ournation no matter the costs. Wemust always remember, recognizeand honor these sacrificeshowever we can, and passageof this legislation is an importantstep toward fulfilling thatmission.”“The [measure] enhancesthe quality of life for veteransin the commonwealth by makingcritical investments in benefitsprograms, expanding accessto services and creating policiesto ensure our veterans andtheir families are well-informedabout the benefits and servicesavailable to them,” said Rep.

These workers,if they are victims of domesticassault, could not have theircontract terminated if they missa reasonable amount of time forcertain appointments.

Many businesseshave adopted S Corporationstatus for tax purposes.With an S Corporation, the incomeor loss is passed throughto the individual stockholdervia a Schedule K-1 form inorder for the income or lossto be reported on the stockholder’sForm 1040. Assumingthe stockholder has enoughstockholder basis in the corporation,any loss incurred bythe corporation can be passedthrough to the stockholder tooffsetincome such as wages,interest, dividends, net rentalincome, etc. IRC Section1361(c)(2) allows for a grantor-typeTrust to be an eligibleshareholder of an S Corporation.Allrevocable trusts are grantor-typeTrusts. If structuredproperly, even an irrevocableTrust can be deemed a grantor-typeTrust for tax purposes.If a stockholder wishes to transferhis or her common stock certificateto a revocable or irrevocableTrust, he or she would bethe Settlor (the Grantor) of sucha Trust, the Trustee of such aTrust and the income beneficiaryof the Trust. If an irrevocableTrust is the preferred optiondue to asset protection reasonssuch as nursing home costs,some people will look to namea child the Trustee. If the Trust isdrafted properly and there arenot any circ*mstances wherea principal distribution can bemade to the Settlor, then thecommon stock in the irrevocableTrust should not be a countableasset for purposes of MassHealtheligibility, even if the Settloralso serves as Trustee.The Settlor (Grantor) of thegrantor-type Trust must bedeemed the owner of the entireTrust and must be a UnitedStates citizen or resident.If the Grantor dies, the grantor-typeTrust would still be apermissible stockholder fortwo years following the Grantor’sdeath. In the event of theGrantor’s death, for S Corporationincome tax purposes,the Trust would be considereda non-grantor administrativeTrust under Internal RevenueCode Section 1361(c)(2)(A)(ii).No election is necessary to befiled with the IRS in order for agrantor-type Trust to be an eligibleshareholder of an S Corporation.AGrantor-Type Trust tax returncould be filed in order toreport the Schedule K-1 incomeor loss generated by theS Corporation. A Grantor letterwould then be deliveredto the Grantor of the Trust sothat the Grantor could reportthe net income or net loss figureon his or herfederal andMassachusetts individual incometaxreturn.Joseph D.

Here’s what youshould know, along with a reliable resource to help you choose one.Age-Friendly TubsWalk-in bathtubs are uniquely designed tubs that have a watertight,hinged door built into the side of the tub that provides a muchlower threshold to step over (usually 3 to 7 inches) versus a standardtub that’s around 15 inches.Most walk-in tubs have high sidewalls, usually between three andfour feet high, and are between 28 and 32 inches wide, but will fi tinto the same 60-inch-long space as your standard tub without havingto reconfi gure the room.In addition to the low threshold, most walk-in tubs also have abuilt-in seat, grab bars, anti-slip fl oors and anti-scald valves. Sometubs also come with handheld showerheads and quick drains (thatdrain the tub in under a minute), and many higher-end models offertherapeutic spa-like features that are great for seniors with arthritisand other ailments.The best kind of tub for you will depend on your needs, preferencesand budget, and the size and layout of your bathroom. But beaware that walk-in bathtubs are not cheap. Prices range anywherefrom $3,000 to $10,000 or more for the tub and installation costs.Insurance and AidBecause walk-in tubs are not considered durable medical equipment,original Medicare does not typically cover them nor do Medicaresupplemental (Medigap) policies, but some Medicare Advantageplans may help pay.If you’re receiving Medicaid, many states have Home and CommunityBased Services that may provide some assistance. Or, if you’rea disabled veteran, the VA has some home modifi cation grants thatmay help pay.There are also grants and loans available through the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture that help elderly, low-income residents of ruralareas make home modifi cations, which may be used to pay for awalk-in bathtub. And, depending on where you live, there may belocal programs that can help like Habitat for Humanity or RebuildingTogether.To fi nd out if these options are available in your area, contact yourArea Aging Agency (call 800-677-1116) or nearby center for independentliving (see ilru.org).If, however, you can’t locate any fi nancial assistance and you can’taff ord to pay upfront for a walk-in tub, most manufacturers off er fi -nancing so you can make monthly payments. You should also knowthat if you’re using a walk-in tub for a specifi c medical condition, youmay also be able to deduct the costs of the tub from your taxes as amedical expense (see irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf).Best Walk-In BathtubsTo help you choose a walk-in bathtub the National Council on Aging,which is a national nonprofi t organization that advocates forolder Americans, put together a review team to research the diff erentcompanies and tubs. Their list of best walk-in bathtubs of 2024includes:• Best Walk-in Tub Overall: Ella Ultimate Walk-In Tub• Best Walk-in Tub with Shower: Kohler Walk-In Tub with ShowerPackage• Most Aff ordable Walk-in Tub: Ariel Walkin 3052 Soaker• Best Soaking Tub: American Standard Gelcoat Entry Series• Best Wheelchair-Accessible Tub: Ella Transfer• Best Walk-in Tub for Small Spaces: AmeriGlide Sanctuary 2646 WITSee NCOA.org/adviser/walk-in-tubs/best-walk-in-tubs for detailedreviews and product links.To get started, you should contact a few walk-in bathtub retailerswho can send a professional to your home to assess your bathroomand give you product options and estimates.
