There are several important reasons why we feel the Malden School Committee is obligated to voice their concerns to City of Malden leadership about this project. First, plastic grass poses unknown health dangers to children. There are numerous studies stating that exposure to plastic grass, the chemical substances it contains, and the eff ects from heat island exposure, created by these fields, are dangerous to young children and their developing endocrine systems. These fi elds and the materials they are made of are unregulated. Second, the project itself is in complete opposition to the protocols of environmental justice (EJ). There was no notifi cation or inclusion of the primary stakeholders during the design and planning stages unlike the extensive outreach and community involvement in the planning of 3 other park renovations. Voices of opposition from the community, students, their families, and the voices of the surrounding neighborhood have been discounted, and silenced in some instances, throughout this process. The Environmental Justice neighborhood and the Salemwood School Community are predominantly English Language learners, people of color and categorized as economically disadvantaged. It is not enough for our leaders to talk about a commitment to environmental, climate and social justice issues. We must act on those ideals. Environmental Justice, according to the EPA means: People have an opportunity to participate in decisions about activities that may aff ect their environment and/or health; The third reason is the MA Curriculum Science Standards require educators to teach students about the Earth and the Impact of Human Activity as related to rising global temperatures and preserving our natural environment. And fourth, studies on children’s health state that exposure to natural green environments improve the physical and mental health of children and contributes to their overall well-being. In summary, we implore you to use your leadership to protect the students at the Salemwood School by ensuring the toxins presently in the soil at Roosevelt Park are properly cleaned up and a natural grass surface is used to renovate this park. Please keep in mind that the children at the Salemwood PARK | SEE PAGE 4 Annual Malden Half + 5 Mile kicks off busy season of outdoor events T he return of the Malden Half Marathon and 5-Mile Race on Sunday, March 13, is just the beginning of a jam-packed spring and summer season.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 11, 2022 Page 3 Malden now rates among highest vaccination rates for schoolchildren in the state More than 70% of all school-age children in Malden ages 12-19 have been vaccinated; 40% of children aged 5-11 citywide ‘vaxxed’ By Steve Freker M alden’s vaccination rate for the majority of its schoolage children is among the highest in the state of Massachusetts. Among the numbers cited during Monday night’s lengthy discussion at the Malden School Committee meeting regarding the Malden Public Schools’ mask mandate was the city’s impressive COVID-19 vaccination rate. Particular numbers included in a brief, but detailed rundown by School Committee Chairperson and Mayor Gary Christenson was the number of schoolage children who have been fully vaccinated. The Mayor reported that over 70% of all schoolage children in Malden between the ages of 15-19 have been fully vaccinated. Also, some 70% percent of children ages 1215 have been fully vaccinated. Additionally, some 40% of all schoolchildren between the ages of 5-11 are also fully vaccinated, according to the fi gures as of March 1, 2022, the Mayor said. (Children below the age of 5 are not eligible to receive The COVID-19 Data Dashboard is available every day and is kept up to date – with school-by-school information – on the Malden Public Schools website, www.maldenps.org. COVID-19 vaccination.) “Malden has done a very good job,” Mayor Christenson said, referring to the school-age children’s vaccination rates. “We are ahead of the national average.” The Mayor said that nationwide 58% of all persons aged 15-19 have been fully vaccinated; 56.4% of those aged 12-15; and 22.6 of those aged 5-11. Each member of the Malden School Committee at Monday night’s meeting referenced both the Mayor’s vaccination numbers – as reported directly from the Malden Board of Health and Health Department Director Chris Webb; and the Malden Public Schools administration’s online “COVID-19 Data Dashboard” – as factors in their decision in voting on the mask mandate, whether they were “yes” or “no” on rescinding the mandate. See Related Stories in this edition. Out of Malden’s 66,000-plus residents, those in the age bracket of 15-19 represent approximately 1,400 of Malden High School’s overall student population. Citywide, that age bracket is about 1,700. There are similar numbers in the age 1215 age bracket in Malden, citywide, and about 3,000 children ages 5-11 in this city.

Parks are all in shambles. Example: Trafton Park and Salemwood – not used in 3 years. What is the problem here? Home taxes are very expensive. What are we paying for? For example: One or two baseball games have to be cancelled for 2 to 3 days due to fl ooding. Need Astroturf as other cities do. The fi elds are so bad in Malden. Example: Little League has a Jimmy Fund League Tournament every year for surrounding cities: Malden, Everett & Melrose. Malden teams had to play at Sacramone Park Everett because our Malden Parks were fl ooded. All games got in because they played on Astroturf. The children all loved it. No puddles, mud, etc. No more practices, games, etc. called off for days because of puddles, mud, etc. All parents from Malden had the same thing to say: Need lights, need Astroturf, need restrooms and no more cancelling practices and games.

It is less costly over time to maintain and manage. We have been in contact with natural organic grass consultants including the National Grass Advisory Board, landscape architects, and UMASS TURI (Toxic Use Reduction Institute). In other words, we have done our homework. A natural grass park is a viable and aff ordable option for Roosevelt Park at the Salemwood School. And we have submitted an alternative plan for renovation of the park to the Community Preservation Committee. The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states “The scientifi c evidence is unequivocal: climate change is a threat to human well-being and the health of the planet. Any further delay in concerted global action will miss a brief and rapidly closing window to secure a livable future.” And just this past week the United Nations signed a treaty to end plastic pollution across the world. We must, as a community, lead by example. Preserve our green space. Preserve our environment. Decrease plastic pollution. Listen to our children. The future is theirs.

Malden today, tomorrow and yesterday – Paul Finn remembered By Peter F. Levine have a great deal of respect for Jack Freker. Actually, all the Frekers, but I graduated with Jack, so I knew him best. He’s achieved so much in life – a captain of industry, as Tony Soprano would say. But one thing about Freck, he never forgot his roots, where he learned life’s valuable lessons from. Jack is based out of NYC these days, but since the COVID-19 bug hit, it looks like he’s become a global citizen. One minute he’s here, the next he’s there – again, without ever forgetting Malden – down to earth and always real. With that said I bring to I you this epic post by Jack on Facebook. The passing of Paul Finn was a devastating blow for the whole Malden community. For Jack, it was personal. I did not know the late Paul Finn very well. Frek did. Take it away, my friend: “My friend and teammate Russell Garland informed me that Malden lost a very special man this week…Paul Finn. A wonderful parent/grandparent/ husband and sibling, yet also a Hall of Fame athlete and coach, a great teacher, principal, leader, motivator, role model and mentor to so many teenagers and young adults. I was one of those teenagers and a major benefactor of his wisdom, guidance, attention, and positive infl uence. “I met Paul almost 49 years ago as an incoming impressionable sophomore on the Malden High School football team where he was an assistant coach for the legendary Bill Tighe. He coached alongside other very seasoned and well-respected coaching legends, Coaches ‘Mundo’ In 1988 was the 101st annual Thanksgiving Day classic between Malden and Medford – jubilant Malden Head Coach Paul Finn put the clamps on fullback Tim Ford after Ford led Malden High School to victory (14-13) with two conversion points over their archrivals, giving Finn’s Golden Tornado club back-to-back GBL championships, the fi rst time since 1974-75. (Courtesy Photo) Provitola and Lou Racca. Coach Finn at the time was the ripe old age of 25 years old and although the youngest on the staff , at 11 years my senior, he impressed me with his maturity, discipline, wisdom, and counsel (not to mention he was the most fun and relatable coach). I’m certain Paul learned many lessons that season as we stumbled to an 0-9 fi nish which resulted in Coach Tighe’s retirement and ushered in the successful Paul Finn ‘Head Coach’ era at Malden football. “1973, season one as head coach started with much excitement and preparation as Paul and his staff presided over pre-season summer workouts, and Malden’s first ever preseason weeklong camp at Camp Forest Hills in Groton, New Hampshire. Paul retained the best coaches (Provitola and Racca) and added other brand new, young, and fun coaches such as Tom Kelly, Rich Cullen, and Bill Hanifan. We were captained by two great athletes, Dan Provitola and Tony Fermano and we were destined for greatness! “Despite all the very clear positive improvements, the 26-year-old fi rst time head coach and his new staff recorded a 2-7 season. As players however, we felt like winners. We improved every game and won two of our last three games, ending the season with an underdog victory over Medford with a big game and key scores by Tom Cunha which capped off a ‘successful’ season for the team. We knew we were better than our record, Coach Finn convinced us of that and made us believe that the best was yet to come. “ The 1974 pre-season workouts were more intense, the pre-season camp [Winchendon] was more difficult with triple sessions every day, yet Paul and his staff were determined to make their mark. We added a new opponent to the schedule and now had a 10-game season FINN | SEE PAGE 8 Prices subject to change Ask about FLEET

A native of Riga, Latvia, she immigrated to the United States in 2018 after marrying U.S. Air Force Veteran Staff Sgt. Gene Sticco. The couple now lives in Malden with Sticco’s 13-year-old son, AJ, who aspires to serve in the Air Force and has begun his journey as a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol. In 2020, Sticco released her fi rst single, “Requiem for a Soldier,” as a tribute to the generations of soldiers, including her husband, who served in the cause of freedom and to remember the unity of her great-grandfathers, who both died fighting alongside American soldiers during World War II. “It’s a message to all soldiers that you may not see the results of what you’ve done, but it will change the life of a little girl you’ll never know,” said Sticco. Since its release, Sticco has donated the proceeds from the single’s streaming and downloads to various veterans’ organizations. She is now on a mission to use that streaming revenue to donate to Ukrainians in need and spread the message of unity between nations and their soldiers once again. Malden resident Natalja Sticco, a well-known opera singer in Europe and the United States, is using her vocal talents to support the people of Ukraine. (Courtesy Photo) “Having been born in the USSR and seeing Russia’s aggression, my heart breaks for Ukraine and fears for my own homeland,” said Sticco, adding that she feels the pain on all sides of this war. “My son’s step-family and half-brother are Ukrainian, I have many close friends who are Ukrainian. I am ethnically Russian and have family in Russia, friends and colleagues in Russia, none of who support this and are stuck there and in fear. My stepson, Gene’s oldest son, is a U.S. Army offi cer currently assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Slovakia.” To stream “Requiem for a Soldier,” visit Sticco’s website at https://www.nataljasticco.com or search for it by name on your favorite streaming service.

He built a great staff ; he invested emotionally and was always present. Coach Finn and his staff had a tremendous positive infl uence on me in High School. I was very fortunate to be one of his co captains along with Mark Burns and Jeff Sullivan, for his fi rst G.B.L. championship and had several early lessons in leadership during that great season. Paul Finn helped us develop a mindset of being able to overcome adversity and achieve anything we set our minds on. He challenged us constantly and off ered advice, a shoulder, or an ear when we needed it. Beyond all he became a friend, on and off the fi eld. Whether it was pickup basketball games in the M.H.S. gym or just joking around between classes, Paul was part of many highlights from my teenage years. “Clearly Paul had a tremendous career as a teacher, coach, and administrator, yet I’d say he would have had an equally illustrious career in either marketing or public relations!

We moved out of 54 Eastern Ave. in Malden during the spring of 2021 in preparation for construction. Our temporary offi ce is at 214 Commercial St., Suite 209, Malden, and our temporary food pantry warehouse is at 109 Madison St., Malden. Although we were hoping to begin construction of our new facility in December 2021, we received a construction cost estimate that was much higher than originally estimated due to increased costs for labor and materials. We rebid the project and in January received a lower construction bid. But even with the lower bid, we still need to raise just under $1 million for the project.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 11, 2022 POLICY | FROM PAGE 1 Mayor Gary Christenson, stated it was “one of the toughest decisions” they had faced as an elected offi cial. Two of the newly elected School Committee members, Ward 4’s Dawn Macklin and Keith Bernard of Ward 7, said they felt strongly enough against lifting the mask mandate to become the two-vote minority opposed to the eventual decision to rescind the mandate and make mask-wearing optional. “This is a tough decision for myself and other School Committee members,” Bernard said, in his fi rst time speaking at an in-person meeting since being elected in November. “Speaking Kari Percival Meet author Kari Percival as she signs copies of her newly released book How to Say Hello to a Worm, A First Guide to Outside to Outside. in terms of what I’ve heard from students and families, there is a lot of anxiety out there [on lifting the mask mandate]. “This [COVID-19] is a virus and at this point, it’s a little too soon,” Bernard added. “Keeping masks and face coverings right now is better for our kids and their families.” Macklin echoed some of BerSaturday, March 12 1:00-2:00pm nard’s sentiments, also stating opposition to lifting the mask mandate. She also expressed concern students “might be ostracized or bullied” if the mandate were lifted and they decided to continue coming to school wearing the mask. “I’ve gone back-and-forth on this issue, and I was against the February 28 date [to lift the mandate] from the start,” Macklin said. “I still worry for our younger students, who are still not eligible [by age] to be vaccinated. I’m still on the fence. If we made it optional there would still be those who still wear the mask. There is a possibility those who still wore the mask might be ostracized or bullied; that is why it is concerning to me to end the mask mandate.” The majority of School Com57 Pleasant Street Malden, MA. mittee members were in favor of lifting the mandate, though emphasizing they had thoroughly CIGAR GIFT PACKS UNDER $50 R.Y.O.

Steve reviewed both sides of the debate, including the third newcomer, Sharyn Rose Zeiberg of Ward 8. “The most important part of this issue is, ‘How do we protect our most vulnerable students?’” Zeiberg said. “[The Superintendent] has told us we would still have [safety] protocols in place, precautions in place, cleaning measures and masks still available at all the schools.” “I believe it is important for addressing students’ social-emotional health to follow [the optional mask policy] being considered,” Zeiberg said before the vote. “We must be following the science, and a lot has changed in [COVID-19] numbers over the past month.” Some will be elated, some will be worried if we drop the mask mandate, but we will still have many resources for our students and staff in our schools,” Zeiberg said. School Committee Vice Chair Cigar Bundles starting at $49.95 ---------GIFT CARDS AVAILABLE Buy Cigars by the Box & SAVE! Competitive prices on all Brands, Great Selection Adam Weldai (Ward 5) joined with all of his colleagues in thanking the many residents, particularly caregivers of Malden Public Schools students, who contacted him via email, phone voice and text messages regarding the mask policy. Chairperson/Mayor Christenson was also specific with his thanks to the many Malden caregivers who took the time to weigh in on the mask mandate decision. “I would like to express my gratitude for the many constituents and caregivers. This is something on which we have gotten more emails and attention in quite a while,” Weldai said. Weldai then expressed dissatisfaction with how the mask mandate in schools issue has been handled at the state level; namely, leaving the decision in the hands of local communities. “This is another example of failure of leadership from the state,” Weldai said. The School Committee Vice Chairperson said he had expressed “my own set of worries and concerns to the Superintendent this week” and that the two of them [Supt. Ligia Noriega-Murphy] had conferred on the aspect, if voted, of “undoing the policy and its rollout.” “If students and staff continue to wear masks, we are not encouraging only [the sentiment of] ‘we are so happy to see all the smiling faces.’ Everyone is making this decision for their own family, though our [School Committee] decision is based on the greater good,” Weldai said, referring to potential situations where those who continue to wear masks might be criticized by those who chose to no longer wear them. “Based on scientifi c data, not feelings or other [aspects], we are ready to make this move,” Weldai said, in endorsing lifting the mask mandate. “We do have a lot of work post-tonight, though.” Supt. Noriega-Murphy, later in the meeting after the vote was taken, did stress that “respect of individual choices” would be her and the Malden Public Schools’ staff focus following the School Committee’s vote. Ward 3 School Committee member Jennifer Spadafora said, “Those who contacted me, it was a 50-50 split [on continuing the mask mandate or lifting it]. It is one of the hardest decisions I have had to make.” The third-term School Committeewoman added, “I want to thank the administration for the weekly updates [on COVID-19 cases in the schools]. In January, we didn’t know what was coming, but now we see the cases dramatically declining. It is time we give it a shot, give it a chance and keep moving forward in a positive way.” The Ward 3 representative made another point: “Some of our most vulnerable students have regressed in some ways in terms of social interaction [under the mask policy]. They have not been able to see if a teacher is smiling or not, and this lack of seeing facial expressions does not allow them to see all that a teacher is conveying.” “It works the other way, also, as teachers do not get to see the full expressions of their students,” Spadafora said. Spadafora made the motion for the vote to rescind the Malden Public Schools mask policy, and it passed, 7-2, and went into eff ect immediately. As of Tuesday morning, the fi rst day of classes after the School Committee vote, students and staff were no longer required to wear facemasks, as it became optional to do so in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 11, 2022 Page 13 SCHOOL | FROM PAGE 1 separate story.) The three new members of the School Committee, who were just elected this past November, voiced the same sentiment. The School Committee members were referring to a vote they were asked to take at Monday night’s fi rst “in-person” meeting of the calendar year on the mask mandate for students and staff in the MPS buildings. All students, staff and visitors have been required to wear a protective facemask covering the nose and mouth, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, since the schools offi cially opened on September 1. Governor Charlie Baker and Dept. of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) offi cials declared in February that the school mask mandate was lifted at the state level as of February 28, leaving it in the hands of local districts to make their own decisions. Mayor: ‘This is not an easy one’ Before the vote, the chairperson of the School Committee, Mayor Gary Christenson, summed it up well. “This is not an easy one,” he said of the decision the School Committee was being asked to make. “This is one where you must look from within.” On a 7-2 tally, the Malden School Committee voted to offi - cially rescind the mask mandate in the MPS. “Eff ective immediately,” Ward 3 School Committee Member Jennifer Spadafora stressed in making the motion to lift the mask mandate. Voting in favor of lifting the mask mandate – which went into eff ect Monday evening, in time for the next day of school, Tuesday, March 8 – were School Committee Members Mike Drummey (Ward 1), Robert McCarthy Jr. (Ward 2), Jennifer Spadafora (Ward 3), Vice Chairperson Adam Weldai (Ward 5), Joseph Gray (Ward 6), Sharyn Rose Zeiberg (Ward 8) and Chairperson/Mayor Gary Christenson. Voting against rescinding the mask mandate were two of the three newly elected members of the School Committee: Dawn Macklin (Ward 4) and Keith Bernard (Ward 7). In the course of the discussion leading up to the vote, there was extensive reference to an in-city “Mask Survey” undertaken by the MPS. It was made clear the results were from a survey taken from mid-January until February 11, when COVID-19 cases were spiking due to the omicron variant, locally, statewide and nationwide. Since mid-February, COVID-19 cases plummeting Since about the second week of February until this week, numbers of new cases have plunged dramatically. For instance, in the Malden Public Schools, there were 500-plus COVID-19 cases reported districtwide in the 10 days following the Winter Break, December 23-January 3. This past week, as reported on the MPS COVID-19 Dashboard, there were 18 new cases reported out of close to 7,000 students and staff combined, less than 1/4 of 1%. Malden School Committee student representative Christelle Jean cited some results from an earlier period, with 55% of MHS students surveyed responding it was too soon to lift the mandate on February 28. Again, this was taken during a period when cases were spiking. Another question asking if they agreed “mask-wearing should be optional,” MHS students responded 67% in favor of that statement. Jean said 529 out of 1,887 total MHS students responded to the survey. Later in the meeting, after the vote was taken to rescind the mask mandate, in her general Superintendent’s Report, Supt. Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy summarized what was in total a very detailed breakdown of the citywide mask survey, She said there 1,833 total responses via GoogleDoc, email and telephone voicemail with 827 (45.1%) stating it was “too soon” to lift the mandate February 28 and 36.7% (670 respondents) agreeing that an optional mask-wearing move would be welcome. Supt. Noriega-Murphy also noted the survey was taken in the January-February bridge period when cases were spiking. At that time she reiterated the numbers the Malden Public Schools has been posting since the start of the school year on the MPS website, maldenps.org. Supt.: Respecting individual decisions on mask-wearing will be #1 goal in district After the vote, the Superintendent addressed those in attendance and stressed the district would be paying close attention to the reception the new policy would be receiving across the district, anticipating some students and staff would take off the masks, while others would choose to continue to wear them. “Our number one goal as a district will be to establish and maintain an atmosphere of respect for all our students and staff whatever they may choose,” Supt. Noriega-Murphy said, “whether that means continuing to wear the mask, or not wearing the mask. “It is a personal choice and we will see that there is respect in the Malden Public Schools to honor those choices made by our students and educators,” she said. “We want everyone to be safe, be happy and enjoy the last few months of the school year.” The Superintendent said that despite the rescinding of the mask mandate the district would be continuing all of the policies and programs that are now in place “to keep our students and staff safe,” as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Dr. Noriega-Murphy said handwashing and the use of the many hand sanitizer stations in every school building, at every main entrance and exit door, would be continued, as would the availability of free masks in every school, every day, for the remainder of the school year. In addition, a supply of free COVID-19 take-home test kits is available for the asking throughout the district. The Superintendent said that some 3,000 Malden Public Schools families had already received free take-home test kits, some of these families having received them multiple times. Also, free COVID-19 vaccine clinics are scheduled at each one of the school buildings, coming up later in March with exact times, dates and locations listed on the school website: maldenps. org. Dates are as follows: Tuesday, March 22 (Forestdale School and Salemwood School); Wednesday, March 23 (Ferryway School and Linden STEAM Academy); Thursday, March 24 (Beebe School and Early Learning Center); Friday, March 25 (Malden High School).
Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 11, 2022 IN ‘REAL TIME’: Malden High’s Model UN tackles global issues in midst of international crisis Invasion of Ukraine by Russia looms over annual academic event this week By Steve Freker t did not take long for real life to step right into real time at a popular annual academic event at Malden High School on Wednesday. The Model UN (United Nations), a yearly exercise where high school students take on the personas of UN delegates of various countries, has been on the calendar for the Malden High Social Studies Department all year. Little did anyone know that this week’s Model UN would coincide with the fi rst war on European soil since World War II, as Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, and the battle has been raging since then, into this week. It was ironic that one of the first Malden High students-turned-delegates that asked for podium time was the representative from Ukraine. The discourse was directed toward the delegate from Russia, and it was straight to the point: “Stop bombing our country... and please go back to your own,” the Ukraine delegate said. Wednesday’s salvo at the Malden High Model UN was a perfect example of how real life can interject into real time when a historical event of the invasion of Ukraine occurs. The Ukraine delegate directly tied the newly initiated war with the ceasing of any progress or continuity of education in that country, with the invasion bringing academic pursuits to a standstill. “The Ukraine invasion by Russia was being discussed in all our History classes the past week, since it began,” said Malden High Social Studies Teacher Leader Kerri Veritas, who this year and for the past three years coordinated the Model UN participation at Malden High School. She I Abdellah Mullah, MHS junior, spoke at Model UN last week. He was the student-delegate from Spain – off ering to provide assistance to other countries to enhance their Education Equity goals. Malden High student-delegates are caucusing in between debates on the issues at hand. Emma Belza and Alex Bostian assist student-delegates prior to their presentation. said she was “not surprised” the issue carried over into the overall event’s discussions. The theme of his year’s event is Global Educational Equity, and a lot of the tangential topics were related to delivery of academics in the face of the international COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly 200 MHS students, primarily from the junior year History classes, participate in Model UN, and Veritas said it is a great tool to show real-life workings of an international humanitarian/governance organization, such as the United Nations. She explained that Malden High School contracts with the United Nations Association of Greater Boston (UNAGB), whose representatives were on hand all week at Malden High School to assist in the presentation and guide the participation in the event. Included were UNAGB Education Director Emma Belza, Director of Development & Community Outreach Alex Bostian and Education Program Manager Alexander Beatty, among others on hand. “They do a tremen~ Legal Notice ~ City of Malden Community Preservation Committee Public Information Session Notice/Monthly Meeting Agenda Wednesday, March 16, 2022, 6:00 PM Public Information Session & Monthly Meeting will be held remotely via Zoom On June 16, 2021, Governor Baker signed into law An Act Extending Certain COVID-19 Measures Adopted During the State of Emergency.

Super Cheap Smartphone Plans for Scrimping Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Can you direct me to some really cheap wireless smartphone plans for seniors who don’t use much data? I use my smartphone primarily for texting and talking but need some data for checking my email and a few other things when I’m away from Wi-Fi. Right now, I pay $30 per month but am looking for a better deal. Senior Scrimper Dear Scrimper, There are several super cheap wirelesses providers I can recommend for older smartphone users who are looking to save money by paring down their cell phone plan. Here are three of the cheapest options available that you can switch to without sacrifi cing the quality of your service. Cheapest Wireless Plans For extremely light smartphone data users, the very cheapest wireless plan available today is through Tello (Tello.com), which lets you build your own plan based on your needs or budget. For as little as $6 per month you can get unlimited texting, 100 minutes of talk time and 500 megabytes (MB) of high-speed data. Increases in talk time or data can be added in $1 increments. Tello uses the T-Mobile network and gives you the option to bring your existing phone or purchase a new device, while keeping your same phone number if you wish. If you want to keep your phone, it must be unlocked. Just enter your phone’s ID (press *#06# on your keypad to get it) on Tello’s website to make sure that it’s compatible with the network. Another super cheap plan to consider is the annual prepaid plan off ered through Boost Mobile (BoostMobile.com). For only $100 per year (or $8.33 per month) this plan provides unlimited talk, text and 1 gigabyte (GB) of 5G or 4G data each month. If you need more data, their $150 annual plan (or $12.50/month) gets you 5 GB. Boost Mobile uses the T-Mobile and AT&T networks and lets you use your existing phone (if compatible) or buy a new one. And a third option to look into is Mint Mobile (MintMobile. com), which is recommended by Consumer Reports and has one of the best values for a cheap plan. Mint off ers a $15 per month plan (plus taxes & fees) that provides unlimited talk and text, and 4 GB of 5G/4G data each month. They too use the T-Mobile network and will let you use your existing phone (if compatible) or buy a new one. Lifeline Program If your income is low enough, another option you should check into is the Lifeline Assistance Program. This is a federal program that provides a $9.25 monthly subsidy that could go towards your phone or internet service. To qualify, you’ll need to show that you’re receiving certain types of government benefi ts such as Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), SSI, public housing assistance, veterans’ pension and survivors’ benefi t, or live on federally recognized Tribal lands. Or, if your annual household income is at or below 135 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines – $17,388 for one person, or $23,517 for two – you’re also eligible. To check your eligibility or apply, visit LifelineSupport.org. If you do qualify, contact a wireless provider in your area that participates in the Lifeline program and sign up for service with them. You can also ask your current company to apply your Lifeline benefi t to a service you are already getting, if it off ers the benefi t.

MASSterlist will be e-mailed to you FREE every Monday through Friday morning and will give you a leg up on what’s happening in the blood sport of Bay State THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ and senators’ votes on roll calls from the week of February 28-March 4. OFFSHORE WIND INDUSTRY (H 4515) House 133-12, approved and sent to the Senate a bill to further develop and expand the off shore wind industry in Massachusetts. Provisions include investing hundreds of millions of dollars over the next decade in infrastructure, innovation, job training, supply chain capacity and transmission upgrades; providing job training, tax incentives, grants and loans; investing in long-term energy storage to help the state’s transition to renewable energy; and implementing a new charge that would add an estimated $1.37 to the average gas customer’s monthly bill to raise an estimated $23 million in new revenue that would be used to fund the programs, tax incentives and grants. “I am thrilled that today the House passed legislation crucial to the development of a strong off shore wind industry in Massachusetts,” said Representative Jeff Roy (D-Franklin), House chair of the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy. “Massachusetts waters have the greatest off shore wind potential out of the contiguous U.S. and this legislation will ensure that the commonwealth is prepared to harness that energy while also creating a just and robust local economy, educational opportunities for our residents and critical upgrades to our energy infrastructure without causing undue harm to our coastal habitats or maritime industries.” “I’m immensely proud of the steps that the House took today to ensure Massachusetts remains at the forefront of renewable energy development,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “Not only will this legislation help us reduce our carbon emissions and combat climate change, it will also spur economic development, modernize our energy infrastructure and create thousands of new jobs in the process.” "While I completely agree that we need to do something about encouraging clean energy and off shore wind development, I think we could have found the funds in the current budget and not put the costs on the ratepayers,” said Rep. Colleen Garry (D-Dracut), the only Democrat to vote against the measure. “It is the economically challenged folks who can't afford the major rehabs of older homes to save on gas and electric heating costs who will get hit with these charges. I believe this is defi nitely not the time to be adding more costs to homeowners with infl ation and a slow economic recovery from the pandemic." (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes ELIMINATE THE ESTIMATED $1.37 PER CUSTOMER CHARGE TO FUND TAX CREDITS AND JOB TRAINING (H 4515) House 28-127, rejected an amendment that would eliminate a new charge that would add an estimated $1.37 to the average gas customer’s monthly bill. The estimated $23 million in new revenue would be used to fund training programs, tax credits and incentives for companies. “This would amount to about a two percent increase in a natural gas user’s bill each month,” said amendment sponsor Kelly Pease (R-Westfi eld). “It does not sound like a lot, but during these inflationary times and with gas and oil prices going out of control due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is not the time to raise rates on the people of the commonwealth. The critics of the amendment said it would get rid of the trust fund which would do away with job training and tax credits as well. This is true. By removing the funding it would eliminate those parts of the bill, but I believe that given the commonwealth is very fi nancially strong that the trust fund and programs should be paid for out of existing state funds and not be putting the burden onto the citizens of Massachusetts by adding a rate increase to their monthly bills.” Rep Jeff Roy (D-Franklin), House Chair of the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy, said that the amendment seeks to strike the meat and potatoes from all of the elements that will strengthen this industry. “The amendment would have eliminated provisions of the bill that make crucial investments into off shore wind and other clean energy technologies,” said Roy. “Massachusetts stands to realize signifi cant economic gains by investing in our green infrastructure and workforce, and that’s an opportunity for our constituents that we cannot pass up.” Readers: Please read carefully what a "Yes" and "No" vote mean. (The amendment was on striking the estimated $1.37 fee. Therefore a A “Yes” vote is against the fee. A “No” vote for the fee.) Rep. Paul Donato tending MassHealth insurance coverage to 12 months after pregnancy. MassHealth is the state’s Medicaid program that provides health care for low-income and disabled persons.. “Today, the Massachusetts Senate has taken another step to combat inequities in maternal health,” said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “By extending postpartum healthcare coverage to a full year, birthing individuals will be able to access vital physical and behavioral health resources that will decrease mortality and severe morbidity and improve the overall health of parent and child, especially for our minority populations.” Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) said, “The danger of dying during pregnancy or childbirth is still far too high in the United States, particularly for Black women, but the Senate is committed to continuing our eff orts to ensure pregnant and postpartum mothers and people who give birth receive the critical care they need and deserve.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Jason Lewis No Rep. Steven Ultrino No FREE MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS (H 2730) Senate 40-0 approved and sent to the House a bill that would require primary and secondary schools, homeless shelters and prisons to provide free disposable menstrual products in a convenient and non-stigmatizing way. “That we considered this bill today is a result of the leadership of so many young people, particularly high school students across the state, from Brookline to Belchertown,” said sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “Once you start thinking about it, the need seems obvious. As the menstrual equity coalition says, ‘non-menstruating people go into a bathroom expecting their basic bodily needs to be met—this is not the case for menstruators.’ This is now being seen as an issue because new generations are saying words out loud that used to be hidden by euphemisms, and they’re talking about needs that were unrecognized because they weren’t named.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Jason Lewis Yes PREGNANT AND POST PARTUM MOTHERS (H 2731) Senate 40-0, approved and sent to the House legislation designed to ensure that pregnant and postpartum mothers get necessary and potentially life-saving health care by exYes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of February 28-March 4, the House met for a total of six hours and 24 minutes and the Senate met for a total of four minutes and 28 minutes. Mon.

Page 20 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 11, 2022 Eagles swimmers produce great results at state meet Special to Th e Advocate T he boys’ swim program at the Mystic Valley Regional Charter School (MVRCS) capped off a historic season with an even more historic state championship meet that will live forever in Eagles swimming lore. Two weeks ago, the state championship contingent – consisting of juniors Jeremy Cheng, Aiden Acuna-Rosa, Armando Indresano and Ramy Elaafer, sophomore Jason Yan and eighth-graders Jaden Anthony and Dylan Phan – produced performances for the ages. The Eagles concluded Division 2 states with a thirdplace overall showing, leaving with seven top 5 fi nishes, and fi ve Top 3 fi nishes. The thirdplace fi nish equaled the program’s best overall showing as well. MVRCS started off swimming ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ Essex Probate and Family Court 36 Federal Street Salem, MA 01970 (978) 744-1020 Docket No. ES21A0317AD In the matter of: Josiah Jy’el Jacobs To: any unnamed or unknown parent and persons interested in a petition for the adoption of said child and to the Department of Children and Families of said Commonwealth.

Indresano’s split of 21.48 anchored the team, and was second in the field only to Scituate’s Brian Hixson, who would eventually be the cham- pion later in the day in the 50 free. With a quick turnaround, Acuna-Rosa was back in the water in the 200 freestyle, capitalizing on a strong last 50 to fi nish in 1:46.50, a new lifetime best and the second fastest time in team history for a second-place fi nish. The scoring continued as Yan crushed his lifetime best in the 200 IM with a time of 2:06.52, dropping four seconds and moving up signifi cantly in the rankings to place 12th overall. Indresano then kept the strong fi nishes going in the 50 freestyle, using a great turn and perfect fi nish, touching the wall at 22.35, a lifetime best and good for fi fth place. In just four events the Eagles found themselves on the podium three times. After a short break, Cheng was up for his fi rst individual event of the day, the 100 butterfly, and he certainly delivered. Jeremy went stroke for stroke with Wayland’s Lucas Pralle and fi nished second with a new team record of 51.44 (formerly held by former Mystic standout Jake Williams, who is currently team Captain at Bryant University). Not to be outdone, Indresano was back up in the next sprint freestyle event, the 100. Utilizing a great last 25, he touched in 48.67, good for a fourth-place fi nish, breaking the record held for the last six years by 2016 graduate Christian Kinnon. The excitement continued to build as at that point MVRCS had crept up to second in the total point standings, something never done in Mystic Valley hisREAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 BUYER2 Berrad, Laila SELLER1 Assli, Elmostafa SELLER2 Humanity Greater Boston MVRCS swimmers, pictured from left to right: Jason Yan, Armando Indresano, Aiden Acuna-Rosa, Jeremy Cheng, Ramy Elaafer, Jaden Anthony and Dylan Phan following Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association state championship action. tory. Heading into the 500 freestyle, Acuna-Rosa continued an incredible day and one of the best junior year campaigns in history with another team record and third-place finish in 4:50.93. The Eagles now had a strong hold on third place – trailing only Weston and Wayland. In the 200 freestyle relay, the phenomenal junior trio of Acuna-Rose, Indresano and Cheng teamed up with rising star Anthony. Cheng and Indresano had the crowd buzzing with dual splits of 21.99 and 21.91 to have the maroon & gold in fi rst place at the 100 mark. Anthony contributed with a lifetime best in the third leg, and Acuna-Rosa held on with a 22.25 split to secure a third-place fi nish. In the last individual race of the day for the Eagles, the 100 backstroke, Cheng completed a grueling double with only 10 minutes since his lead off leg in the 200 freestyle relay. Jeremy toughed it out for an eighth place fi nish in 56.11. Finally, in the last relay of the day, knowing they needed to score any points to hold onto third place, the Eagles showed off some of their young talent as Elaafer, Yan, Anthony and Phan teamed up for a 12th -place fi nish. This secured an overall team placing of third place. All four boys swam lifetime bests in the relay. “Between the girls meet on Saturday and this performance on Sunday my voice is completely gone. The boys came on a mission, and I believe truly surprised the swimming world in Massachusetts.
