Actually, scored a game-changing touchdown would be a more appropriate way to phrase it. The Malden Public Schools kindergarten teacher was recently acknowledged and honored by the board of the Fenway Bowl and named to its Honor Roll for her pandemic-era eff orts to boost her classroom off erings and brighten her students’ lives and learning.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 8, 2021 Page 5 Legislature passes landmark climate change bill O n January 4, 2021, State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian along with her colleagues in the Massachusetts Legislature enacted breakthrough climate legislation that overhauls the state’s climate laws, drives down greenhouse gas emissions, creates clean energy jobs and protects Environmental Justice (EJ) communities. The bill, An Act creating a next-generation roadmap for Massachusetts climate policy (S.2995), sets a 2050 net-zero greenhouse gas emissions limit, as well as statewide limits every five years; increases the requirements for offshore wind energy procurement, bringing the statewide total to 5,600 megawatts; requires emission reduction goals for Mass Save, the state’s energy efficiency program; and, for the first time, establishes the criteria in statute that define EJ populations. The legislation also increases support for clean energy workforce development programs, including those targeting low-income communities, and improves gas pipeline safety. The bill is now with the governor. “I'm incredibly proud to vote today for bold climate legislation that meets the moment and is our first major update to the 2008 Global Warming Solutions Act,” said Lipper-Garabedian. “Addressing our climate crisis is a top priority for the 32nd Middlesex and the entire Commonwealth, and I was pleased to join my colleagues in voting for a bill that includes a 2050 net zero roadmap, clean energy job training programs, low-income and business solar initiatives, environmental justice considerations, increased offshore wind procurement targets, enhanced gas safety protections and accountability, updated standards for appliance energy efficiency, and much more. I thank Speaker Mariano, former Speaker DeLeo and the Joint Chairs of the Committee on Telecommunication Utilities and Energy, Representative Golden and Senator Barrett – among many others – for their leadership on this critical legislation.” “This legislation represents a major piece of climate legislation that will set the course of the Commonwealth for the next three decades,” said House Speaker Ronald Mariano. “Today we send a message loud and clear that Massachusetts will empower our environmental justice communities, achieve net zero emissions by 2050, continue to lead on offshore wind, increase equitable access to our clean energy programs, and create pathways to clean energy jobs for underserved and low-income communities.” “Amid the unprecedented public health and economic challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, I’m proud of the Legislature’s ongoing commitment to protecting our environment,” said former House Speaker Robert DeLeo. “The actions the House and Senate took today will keep Massachusetts on-track to lead the nation in clean energy and environmental policies. Thank you to Speaker Mariano, Chair Golden and my colleagues in the House for their commitment to legislation that will help to grow our clean energy economy, address environmental justice concerns, and bolster our efforts to address the effects of climate change.” “This legislation takes a his~ Guest Commentary ~ Forestdale Park hits another grand slam home run By Irene Reardon C OVID-19, you ugly monster, you have caused much sadness, isolation, depression and anxiety during 2020. So, in retaliation, Santa decided to send a contingent of his most creative and energetic elves to Forestdale Park, thus creating a flurry of anti-COVID activity. Chief Activity elf Courtney and her Assistant elf Karen both donned new outfits for the special occasion. They organized a resident participation campaign: creating ornaments, making mini-Christmas Trees, baking Christmas cookies and planning a trim the tree day. And like the Energizer Bunny, these activities elves kept going on and on, holding a Christmas poetry reading session, taking the social distancing elf bus out to see the Christmas lights and finally decorating the bistro, dining room and common areas. Santa’s pal Mark West provided us with a medley of songs while residents were trimming the trees, and on another occasion pal Joseph Nocera performed his holiday sing-along. Even elves Jade and Sharron used their powerful voices to fill the dining room with beautiful music. In the spirit of the campaign and inspired by the elves, residents decided to decorate their apartment doors; even families became involved thanks to the Head Honcho, elf Terri. The Forestdale campaign gathered momentum as Chief Foodie elf Lisa got into the act, providing hot hors d’oeuvres for the residents’ wine event, preparing a Chanukah luncheon and supplying food for a Chinese buffet on Christmas Eve day. Even Denise, our jovial elf, came up from Compass and cheerfully served generous portions. But the pièce de résistance came in the form of Christmas Dinner, where elf Lisa outdid herself. The dining room was a sight to behold with a bevy of decorated tables, bright white linen tablecloths, and beautifully printed menus followed by a sumptuous dinner, which included: 1. Wine and champagne – supplied by the generous Melrose elves 2. Antipasti 3. Stuffed mushrooms 4. Salad 5. Surf & Turf with vegetable accompaniment 6. Italian Limoncello Cream Cake 7. Beverages Michelin 5-Star chefs, eat your heart out! Let it be known the residents – in the spirit of the season and buoyed up with enthusiasm – became involved, and when the doom and gloom Grinch appeared at a function, he was given the Bum’s Rush. None of that around here! All of this campaign was aided and abetted by the following elves: 1. Elf Michelle, who generously funded the campaign from the treasury. 2. Elf Joanne and her dining elves, who joyfully served the meals. 3. Eric the maintenance elf, who was on call to ensure no breakdowns occurred. 4. Elves Terri and Sarah offering hot chocolate and cider. 5. Last but not least, elf Kati, who cheerfully greeted all those who entered Forestdale Park. The residents of Forestdale Park owe a debt of gratitude to the contingent of elves and friends who did battle with the emotional effects of COVID-19.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 8, 2021 Mass. 1st in nation to get OK for federal Pandemic-EBT funds extension for local families Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus families will receive additional help against food insecurity By Steve Freker T here was some good news this week for thousands of Massachusetts families, including many of those in Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus struggling with the economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. Many local families with school-aged children will be among the first in the nation to receive extra financial assistance to combat food insecurity. State officials have announced that federal funding has been approved to continue the Pandemic-Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) program through the end of the 2020-21 school year. In Malden, Everett and Revere, for instance, all families who have public school students in their households are eligible for P-EBT funds for the 2020-21 school year to help buy food. The funds that will be dispensed through the state-run program, using federal funds, are restricted to food purchases. Saugus families should check with local officials regarding P-EBT funds eligibility. The primary determining factor is if students are attending schools who benefit from the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or the School Breakfast Program (SBP). How much will families receive? Families of students in a fully remote learning situation will get $117.20 per month. Students in a hybrid learning situation will get $58.60 per month. Students attending school either half-day or fully in person are not eligible for P-EBT. Massachusetts received federal approval to issue P-EBT through the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year. The Bay State is the first in the nation to receive approval for the federal dollars. “COVID-19 has exacerbated food insecurity, especially for children who receive nutrition support in school settings. This remains a significant challenge for many families throughout the Commonwealth,” Secretary of Health and Human Services and COVID-19 Command Center Director Marylou Sudders said in a statement. “Massachusetts continues to maximize every opportunity to tackle food insecurity across the state. The rapid approval of our plan to issue P-EBT through the end of the school year will provide relief to hundreds of thousands of families across the state for many months as we continue to navigate this public health crisis.” P-EBT is a relief program created out of the CARES Act for families whose children qualify for free and reduced lunch. The program was launched in Massachusetts in April to help low-income families across the state cover the cost of missed school meals while their children learn remotely. It was extended in September to support students starting the school year remotely. In Massachusetts, about half of all families – more than 500,000 students – qualify for free or reduced-priced breakfast and lunch. T Parents and guardians who already receive benefits will get their P-EBT funds on their existing EBT card. Families who do not receive benefits from the Department of Transitional Assistance, but received a P-EBT card this year, will get their P-EBT funds on their existing P-EBT card. Newly eligible students will receive their P-EBT funds on their existing card if their families already receive benefits, or the students will be mailed a P-EBT card if they do not. Families who lost their P-EBT card can request a new one. Going forward, the benefit will be given to families monthly through the end of the 20202021 school year using $40-$60 million in federal funds each month. Altogether, more than $253 million in federal dollars have gone to supporting Massachusetts families through the nutritional assistance program. P-EBT can be used anywhere Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are accepted, including online from Amazon and Walmart. Many families eligible for P-EBT may also be eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and are encouraged to apply. In addition to P-EBT, all local communities are offered free “grab and go” in connection with local public schools.

Beginning just before the present school 2020-21 school year started in early September, Yaakov, who is an educator at Malden’s Beebe K-8 School, created her own YouTube Channel. Regularly, she comes up with (and “stars” in!) a read-aloud performance where she uses stories, puppets and songs to deliver a message and continue her claims to her YouTube followers, encouraging them to stick to their path. “You’ve got to be in the ‘Yes, then, I’ll try again!’ mode.” She then announces, and breaks into, a brand-new, impromptu song, “Y-E-T.

(Advocate photo by Steve Freker) Though a seasoned, 25-year teacher in the Malden Public Schools, she is still able to be surprised. “I had never heard of the Fenway Bowl, until one day in December, I was looking through my emails and I received an email from someone at The Boston Globe saying, ‘Earlier this month, we put out a call to education groups and associations across New England, asking for stories of educators who have gone above and beyond for their communities this year,’” Yaakov explained. A Beebe School colleague submitted her story “We are happy to say that a colleague submitted your story, and we would love to feature you in our multimedia celebration of New England educators,” the email stated, she recalled. “I was very excited and proud! I love sharing the power of books and stories!” Yaakov said goal of developing and “maintaining a growth mindset” for her students. YouTube segments: topical subjects and read-aloud stories Yaakov’s YouTube segments include both topical subjects and regular read-aloud stories condensed from some of her favorite children’s authors. For instance, she has created a YouTube segment called “My Favorite Word is Y-E-T, Yet!” In it she describes how it is important for students to learn with a growth mindset. “I always work with a growth mindset and I think it is important for students to do so as well,” Yaakov said. The Beebe School teacher said she used her “MVPs” (Most Valuable Puppets) to demonstrate how her kindergarten students can approach tasks and goals in the “Y-E-T” mode. “You can get there! You are just not there Y-E-T, Yet!” she prolearning in the Malden Public Schools in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has had some positive results at times. “Remote teaching has been going very well thanks to the amazing collaboration and fl exibility of parents, teachers and students,” she said. Yaakov said she is looking forward to the announced return of the PreK-Grade 2 students to in-person hybrid learning in the Malden Public Schools on February 1. “I am excited to connect with my students in person on February 1,” she said. Yaakov said the switch to remote learning has been both challenging and thought-provoking. “The biggest challenge for me during remote teaching has been the lack of handson teaching,” Yaakov said. “Kindergarten children thrive when they learn through play and social interactions, and no amount of technology can replicate that. “I think that balancing screen time and offl ine time has been very challenging for my kindergarten students,” she said. The YouTube performances are mostly four to fi ve minutes in length and are open to all. At latest count, Yaakov’s YouTube Channel had dozens of subscribers.

It is his long-standing recognition of Massachusetts’ opportunity to play a leadership role in offshore wind and his fearless commitment to push forward when others hang back that have led us to advance legislation as ambitious as the Next Generation Roadmap bill.” “This bill continues our commitment to reducing harmful carbon emissions, and enacting policies of environmental equity. We have made sure to include enforceability and compliance rules, so we reach our net-zero goals,” said Senate Majority Leader Cindy Creem. “I am so pleased that we also require public hearings on whether classifying biomass as renewable can actually be scientifically justified. And I am proud we will now regulate natural gas as the damaging fossil fuel that it is and strengthen policies to prevent gas leaks and encourage renewable geothermal alternatives.” “As the birthplace of the offshore wind industry in the United States, Massachusetts sets an example to the nation for its leadership on climate policy and today’s action by the legislature further cements that legacy,” said State Representative Patricia Haddad. “The House, along with our colleagues in the Senate, took steps today to increase the use of renewable energy, cut greenhouse gasses and create clean energy jobs in Massachusetts. I thank Speaker Mariano, former Speaker DeLeo and Chair Golden for their leadership and work on these important issues.” “This is an historic day for Massachusetts. We have long been one of the clean energy leaders in our country, but today, we’ve strengthened the foundation that we have built upon and chart a course that has been long discussed but never codified or fully implemented,” said State Senator Patrick O’Connor. “Climate policy can’t wait – that’s why this bipartisan legislation sets aggressive and practical goals in the areas of emissions reduction, green energy, environmental justice, and grid modernization. I am proud to have served on this conference committee and thank my colleagues for their hard work and collaborative spirit in crafting this legislation.” “The climate change bill takes a comprehensive approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including recognizing how forests and other natural and working lands can be used to promote carbon sequestration and help Massachusetts reach its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050,” said House Minority Leader Bradley Jones, Jr. “It also incorporates municipal lighting plants as partners in these efforts by setting greenhouse gas emissions standards and establishing an equal playing field for these facilities. I’m proud to have served on the conference committee that produced this historic bill which reaffirms Massachusetts’ role as a national leader on clean energy issues.” The legislation includes, among other items, the following provisions. • Sets a statewide net-zero limit on greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and mandates emissions limits every five years, as well as limits for specific sectors of the economy, including transportation and buildings • Codifies EJ provisions into Massachusetts law, defining EJ BILL | SEE PAGE 18 ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Division Docket No. 19D-3372 SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION Adir Goncalves Do Carmo, Plaintiff vs. Flavia Regina Langille, Defendant To the above-named Defendant: A Complaint has been presented to this Court by the Plaintiff, seeking a Modification.

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 8, 2021 avvya yavvy en oniorior avvy S ior io iori by Jim Miller Is Social Security Income Taxable? Dear Savvy Senior, I understand that a portion of my Social Security benefi ts may be taxable when I retire. Can you tell me how to calculate this? Ready to Retirer Dear Ready, Whether or not you’ll be required to pay federal income tax on your Social Security benefi ts will depend on your income and fi ling status. About 35 percent of Social Security recipients have total incomes high enough to trigger federal income tax on their benefi ts. To fi gure out if your benefi ts will be taxable, you’ll need to add up all of your “provisional income,” which includes wages, taxable and non-taxable interest, dividends, pensions and taxable retirementplan distributions, self-employment, and other taxable income, plus half your annual Social Security benefits, minus certain deductions used in fi guring your adjusted gross income. How to Calculate To help you with the calculations, get a copy of IRS Publication 915 “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefi ts,” which provides detailed instructions and worksheets. You can download it at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf or call the IRS at 800829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy. After you do the calculations, the IRS says that if you’re single and your total income from all of the listed sources is: ● Less than $25,000, your Social Security will not be subject to federal income tax. ● Between $25,000 and $34,000, up to 50 percent of your Social Security benefi ts will be taxed at your regular income-tax rate. ● More than $34,000, up to 85 percent of your benefi ts will be taxed. If you’re married and fi ling jointly and the total from all sources is: ● Less than $32,000, your Social Security won’t be taxed. ● Between $32,000 and $44,000, up to 50 percent of your Social Security benefi ts will be taxed. ● More than $44,000, up to 85 percent of your benefi ts will be taxed. If you’re married and fi le a separate return, you probably will pay taxes on your benefi ts. To limit potential taxes on your benefi ts, you’ll need to be cautious when taking distributions from retirement accounts or other sources. In addition to triggering ordinary income tax, a distribution that signifi cantly raises your gross income can bump the proportion of your Social Security benefi ts subject to taxes. How to File If you fi nd that part of your Social Security benefi ts will be taxable, you’ll need to fi le using Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR. You also need to know that if you do owe taxes, you’ll need to make quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS, or you can choose to have it automatically withheld from your benefi ts. To have it withheld, you’ll need to complete IRS Form W-4V, Voluntary Withholding Request (IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4v.pdf), and fi le it with your local Social Security offi ce. You can choose to have 7 percent, 10 percent, 12 percent or 22 percent of your total benefi t payment withheld. If you subsequently decide you don’t want the taxes withheld, you can fi le another W-4V to stop the withholding. If you have additional questions on taxable Social Security benefi ts call the IRS help line at 800-829-1040. State Taxation In addition to the federal government, 13 states – Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia – tax Social Security benefi ts to some extent too. If you live in one of these states, check with your state tax agency for details. For links to state tax agencies see TaxAdmin.org/statetax-agencies. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
