Kyle Roust, 21, of Tewksbury, formerly of Medford and a 2019 Medford High School graduate, was killed Friday night when he was thrown from his motorcycle when he failed to negotiate a left curve located near the intersection of Fellsway East and Charles Street, according to reports. According to online news reports, Roust was someone who loved to ride, according to friends, one of whom noted that the victim had only acquired the motorcycle he crashed Friday less than a week before the fatal accident. He would have turned 22 in September. According to reports, Mass. State Troopers responding to a report of a motorcycle crash on the northbound side of the Fellsway near Charles Street just before 8:40 p.m. found a man who had been thrown from his 2002 Suzuki GSXRT10.

State Police, a preliminary investigation indicated Roust was operating his motorcycle at a high rate of speed as he raced the driver of a dark-colored sedan from a stop at a traffi c light at Fellsway West and Medford Street, about 300 yards before the accident occurred.When he approached the intersection with Charles Street, police say, Roust failed to negotiate a left curve and went off the road. State Police Troopers are still searching for the sedan driver, who sped away north on Fellsway East after the crash. In an online report, friends described Roust as a “beautiful soul” who would “do anything for his loved ones and friends.” A friend of Roust, Ben Whalen, told a regional online newspaper that Roust enjoyed the “speed and thrill” of motorcycle riding. “Kyle liked to live on the edge,” Whalen said. “He lived day to day. That was just how he was.” Roust lived in Tewksbury with his parents, Charles and Karen Roust. He is also survived by his grandmother Lucille Dupont, several aunts, uncles and cousins, his beloved dog Zorro and many friends.

The comprehensive bill was designed to further protect and expand reproductive health care and gender-affi rming services in the Commonwealth while establishing additional legal safeguards following the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. With this bill, the Legislature is taking signifi cant steps to ensure that access to reproductive health care and gender-affi rming services codifi ed in 2020 throughout the Commonwealth by the ROE Act will remain protected in this state. The legislation provides legal protections to out-of-state patients, abortion care providers, pharmacists, mental health professionals, insurers and other people involved with the delivery of reproductive health services. It also states that law enforcement offi cials cannot cooperate with out-of-state or federal law agencies investigating abortion care that is legal in Massachusetts. If signed into law, this bill will also give care providers S LANDSCAPE & MASONRY CO.

After negotiations, the House and Senate were able to reach a compromise on Monday regarding a section in the bill on acceptable circumstances for abortions after 24 weeks. The final bill includes language change that updates the ROE Act and allows abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy in the case of “a grave fetal diagnosis”. This will ensure that women who face dire circumstances late in pregnancy are not forced to leave Massachusetts in order to access needed reproductive health care services while also allowing them to make critical decisions about their health with professionals who know their medical history and have their best interests in mind. “As states across the country move to restrict access to abortion, reproductive health care, Kate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative and gender-affi rming services, I am proud that our legislature has taken these critical steps to protect access to these necessary services, their providers, and the rights of those who need them,” said Representative Steven Ultrino (D – Malden). “With this bill, as well as the ROE Act in 2020, Massachusetts has continued its promise to all women and transgender individuals: letting them know that they have equal rights, and we as a legislative body will continue to defend and safeguard their fundamental rights to reproductive and gender-affi rming care.” “Voting with a bipartisan supermajority to enact this bill was a powerful moment,” said Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D – Melrose). “In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, the Massachusetts Legislature has responded swiftly to reject that cruel decision and to protect and expand access to reproSUPPORT | SEE PAGE 17 Prices subject to change Ask about our Heating Oil Conditioner!

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 5, 2022 Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday – MC Blue Jackets 1965 State Champs By Peter Levine O n Oct 23, 2015, Malden Catholic (MC) welcomed nearly 40 players, coaches and cheerleaders from the 1965 football team to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their championship run. That year, the Blue Jackets, as they were called, achieved a Law Offices of Terrence W. Kennedy 512 Broadway, Everett • Criminal Defense • Personal Injury • Medical Malpractice Tel: (617) 387-9809 Cell: (617) 308-8178 twkennedylaw@gmail.com perfect record of 8-0, winning both the Catholic Conference Championship and the Class B State Championship – outscoring their opponents 200-62. On that memorable day Coach Ricupero was led on the fi eld by seniors Neil Hurley, Richie Cullen and Frank “Red” Harris. The Blue Jackets were the last undefeated state champion football team in Malden. Both Malden High School and MC have had many very good and successful football teams over the past six decades, but no other team has gone undefeated. This story came across my rolltop desk when Edgeworth’s (best and brightest) Billy (“Tecca”) and Bobby (“Bull”) O’Leary approached me about this amazing team. I had no knowledge of the ’65 team. They told me a bunch of the guys from the team met periodically at the A.O.H. on Charles Street and would love to share some stories. They brought me over. I was privileged to sit with these giants for a short while and listen (having the honor of already knowing Chick, Bunky, Commish and Dickie Cullen). I reached out for additional information. One of Malden’s most famous sons, Steve Wishoski, was an invaluable source when it came to putting this article together. New Malden may not recognize the name, but Steve Wishoski was instrumental in putting together “Malden 2022” as a former Director of the Malden Redevelopment Authority. Steve is in my Edgeworth Hall of Fame.

Revere, at the time, was a Class A team and unbeaten in their previous 17 contests. Many players from the ’65 team flourished after high school, going on to play football collegiately at big-name schools like Boston College, Harvard, Dartmouth, Boston University, Central Connecticut and Rutgers. Red Harris (Malden Catholic Hall of Fame [MCHOF], 1989) would go on to set several passing records at BC. He was then drafted by the NFL Detroit Lions and had a brief stint with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League. Along with Coach Ed Ricupero and Harris, fi ve other members of the 1965 team have been inducted in the MCHOF. They are Neil Hurley (1989), Richie Cullen (1990), Paul Richard (1992) and assistant coaches Paul Gover (1990) and Dennis Cullen (2002). The team itself was also inducted in 1991. Not too shabby! There were many talented athletes who contributed to the Blue Jackets’ success hailing from Malden, Medford and Everett. Here are but a few: 1. All-Scholastic selection Red Harris was the quarterback going on to a very successful career at BC and eventually into their Hall of Fame. 2. Rich Cullen, from Edgeworth, was the All-Scholastic center and team co-captain. Rich had a very successful football career at BU. He became a Malden educator and coached football and softball at MHS and football at MC. 3. Neil Hurley, a Green Street guy, was the running back and the other co-captain – also selected to the All-Scholastic team in 1965. Neil went on to a successful career at Harvard playing both football and baseball. Neil also played in the now famous 1969 game against Yale that ended in a 29-29 tie. 4. Tom Denehy, of Malden Street (Edgeworth), was the starting guard. Tommy became Malden’s Fire Commissioner and to this very day can still be seen walking his dog at Devir Park mumbling to himself about “the good old days.” 5. Bob Ciccarelli, also a Malden Street kid (Edgeworth), was the team’s tight end. 6. Paul Richards, who grew up in the Linden Projects, was the team’s wide receiver and defensive back – a superb athlete (football and baseball) at MC. 7. Bill Reagan, a resident of Medford (direct quote: “just over the Malden line so we accepted him as one of us”) was the other running back as well as defensive back. Described as an “incredible player” without whom the team would not have been so successful, Bill went on to play football at Rutgers. 8. Steve (Wishoski) was the other wide receiver and defensive back and a proud resident of Emerald Street (Edgeworth).

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 5, 2022 Page 7 MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6 one more thing, sir” – Michael Goldman is the Larry Bird of political consultants. The ubiquitous media masseur, political talent agent and Democratic party kibitzer is the best of the best – at the top his game – one of his more recent success stories being former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, now the 29th United States Secretary of Labor. Michael was recently voted into the MHS Alumni Hall of Fame. I know I go to the “Mike Goldman Well” often, but he is so darn smart and knows his Malden like it ain’t nobody’s business, I keep going back. To give you a small slice of what Malden was like in 1965, I offer to you wisdom submitted by Michael Goldman: “The advantage of history is we know how the story turns out. “In September of 1964, walking as a sophomore through the halls of Malden HS, there was no way to have known the political and social tsunami that was about to explode both across our nation, as well as around the world. “Having later taught a course called ‘1968, The Year of the Century’ well over a dozen times during the past 40 plus years, I realize more than most the role 1965 eventually played in creating today’s America. “What is important to remember was that in September of 1964, we had a Presidential Campaign where neither candidate ended up ever mentioning our ongoing involvement in Vietnam even a single time. “In September of 1964, Mohamad Ali was still known as Cassius Clay, and that 90% of sportswriters were predicting he would quickly be dethroned later that year as reigning Heavyweight Champion of the World after he was beaten in a rematch by former champion Sonny Liston. “In September of 1964, Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack were still considered the apex of ‘cultural cool’ and the Beatles were thought by most to be merely a passing fad soon to disappear back to England. “In September of 1964 the word ‘Ms.’ did not exist, nor did the idea that women ought to have the right to earn equal pay for equal work or to have the personal private right to elect to have an abortion. “In September of 1964, the idea that the United States was actually two countries, one White and one Black, separate and unequal, was considered un-American thought. “In September of 1964, nobody had ever heard of Miranda or the Miranda ‘right to remain silent.’ “And in September of 1964, for good or ill, the world was about to change. The generation that was later labeled the ‘Greatest Generation’ for its role in defeating the Axis Powers in WW2 thought it would be they who were remembered as the driving generation of the 20th century in America. A label that was later rightly placed on the heads of the Boomers like me who walked the halls of MHS in the mid-1960’s and had no idea that in 2022, America was going to split into silos of separate Americas, unable or unwilling to see ourselves as one nation, with shared values, shared visions, and shared dreams.” Brilliant Mike, thank you. Postscript 1: There were 677 Seniors in the graduating class of ’65 at MHS. Johnny Marsinelli was a year or two away from his tour of duty in Nam. (Thank you sincerely for your service, by the way, John.) “Rock” is an “enthusiastic Brighamite.” For new Maldonians, in days of yore, the Square was broken up into little tribes: There was Park Street, Signor Pizza, the Auld-New Lounge, the doo-wop crowd who spent their evenings in the many doorways in the Square honing their craft, the Jack Haney crowd. Then there was Brigham’s. Brigham’s, if memory serves me correctly, was a hangout for Malden’s young, popular jocks, like “Marse.” John and his wonderful wife, “Saint” Mary Alice, still call Malden home and are giving their son, John, the best life he could ever ask for.

We began developing this plan one year ago in collaboration with our Steering Committee of arts and cultural leaders and our partners at the Metropolitan Area Planning Council and the Boston Society for Architecture. The plan is a roadmap for how we can create the Arts Center and plans for everything from what programming it will host to how it will fund itself. The Malden Center for Arts and Culture will be a multicultural, multimedia, visual and performing arts center with both local and regional programming that will serve Malden artists and the community at large. The Center will include fl exible spaces that can host activities ranging from classes and workshops to makers markets and performances. We incorporated public input during every step of the planning process, a commitment that has shaped the Concept Plan and made sure that it refl ects the community’s vision for the space. The Center will be inclusive, accessible, equitable, and versatile, balancing community programming with revenue generating events to mainBank Theater at Wakefi eld High School (60 Farm St., Wakefi eld).

Now that we have the Governor’s approval, we can move forward with the acquisition of the building, which we hope to fi nalize this fall. Once we own the property, we will work to determine what changes we need to make to the building and what the business model will look like. The longterm plan is for the city to own the Center and contract with an experienced arts nonprofi t to run it on a day-to-day basis. We are incredibly proud of the progress we have made and are excited to share a draft of the concept plan with you. You can read the draft by going to cityofmalden.org/915/Project-Updates and submit comments directly on the project website or by email to Evan Spetrini, a Senior Planner with the City, at espetrini@cityofmalden.org by Monday, August 15.

Since many Orange Line riders drive to or transfer between buses and the Orange Line, the MBTA is making it easy to access the Commuter Rail before riders get to the Orange Line by allowing all riders to utilize Commuter Rail stations in Zones 1A, 1, and 2 by showing their CharlieCard or CharlieTicket to a conductor. Haverhill Line Commuter Rail trains stop at Oak Grove, Malden Center and North Station. During these 30 days, riders can show their CharlieCard or CharlieTicket to the conductor to access the Commuter Rail. According to the MBTA, “Haverhill Line trains will make additional stops at Oak Grove. Check back … for more information about this schedule coming soon.” Riders should review the latest Commuter Rail schedules. • Seek existing MBTA bus and subway alternatives.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 5, 2022 MBTA | FROM PAGE 1 Malden hosts two major Orange Line stations, Oak Grove and Malden Center, which originate and end thousands of trips per day for commuters. The shutdown will also have an impact on college students and others who use the Orange Line to get to and from classes. On Wednesday, both local and federal officials reacted to the dramatic announcement, with Malden Mayor Gary Christenson saying he and his staff were already working on a response to the shutdown that would mitigate the impact to local residents, if at all possible. U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark (D-5th District), who represents Malden and many other communities affected by the shutdown, called the planned move “outrageous” due to the impact it would have on the over 100,000 Orange Line riders who make use of the line daily. “It is outrageous that years of underinvestment have left the MBTA with this decision of last resort just to ensure basic safety for riders,” Rep. Clark said. “This service disruption will upend the lives of those who have already been hit hardest by the pandemic and its economic fallout,” Rep. Clark Law Offices of JOSEPH D.

(Courtesy/MBTA) added. Mayor Christenson, in a statement immediately after Wednesday's press conference by MBTA officials and Governor Charlie Baker, said he and his staff were already working on addressing the major announcement and subsequent local transportation disruption. “This shutdown will without a doubt negatively impact our community especially our residents who depend on the Orange Line to get to and from work and for our students returning to school,” Mayor Christenson said. “I have already met with our team to see if we can do anything to help the situation which includes utilizing the commuter rail to offset the disruption.” “This announcement also highlights our repeated stance over the years that the MBTA needs to do a better job of maintaining what they have rather than funding new projects especially where it’s not cost neutral,” Mayor Christenson added. “In the meantime, we will continue to work with the MBTA on ways to minimize the impact to our community,” the mayor said. Mayor Christenson noted that there were some alternative travel options for local and area Orange Line riders already outlined at Wednesday's press conference. “During [Wednesday’s] press conference, it was announced that several steps will be taken to ensure that existing riders will still be able to reach their normal commuting destinations by way of alternate substitute transportation including the use of the Commuter Rail as well as shuttle busses,” Mayor Christenson said. (See separate story in this issue.) Additionally, Mayor Christenson said he and his staff are “actively working with representatives of the MBTA to ensure this Commuter Rail service runs smoothly and will be pushing for more frequent rides than its current schedule.” With respect to shuttle busses, the mayor added that the MBTA is still in the process of finalizing those plans and said, “We will share those updates as soon as they are made available.” Assistant Speaker Clark echoed the mayor’s sentiments regarding alternative transportation options. “There needs to be a clear, comprehensive plan for the tens of thousands of people who rely on the Orange Line every single day and significant investment in our public transit system to finally take it into the 21st century,” Assistant Speaker Clark said.

Despite the many “plusses” cited by MBTA officials on Wednesday, the shutdown will still severely impact the mobility and day-to-day lives of those who travel the Orange Line daily. The city of Malden hosts no less than two major Orange Line stations: Oak Grove at the northerly end of the line and Malden Center. Malden Mayor Gary Christenson said on Wednesday that he and his staff are already working on a local response to this transportation situation. “I have already met with our team to see if we can do anything to help the situation which includes utilizing the commuter rail to offset the disruption,” Mayor Christenson said as part of a statement released Wednesday afternoon. (See separate story in this issue of The Advocate.) Mass. Governor Charlie Baker urged workers who have the ability to do so to “consider working from home” and likewise encouraged employers to adopt this option for workers and staff if possible. The major revitalization work to take place on the Orange Line during this 30-day shutdown will deliver a number of projects “over five years faster than originally planned,” officials said, and will result in “track replacement, upgraded signal systems, and station improvements.” The MBTA will also be able to accomplish required track maintenance associated with Federal Transit Association (FTA) safety improvement directives as quickly as possible. Major revitalization work will take place along the entirety of the Orange Line – from the northernmost Oak Grove Station in Malden to the southern end of the line at Forest Hills – over 30 days, from August 20 through September 19. “This closure will allow departments across the MBTA to make substantial improveA 30-day shutdown will enable MBTA officials to take a deep dive into a comprehensive maintenance and repair project that would avert weekend closures for up to five years.

This 30-day surge will allow the MBTA to accomplish major and expansive progress on a number of priorities at the same time,” said MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak. “Thirty days of 24-hour access to the Orange Line [will replace] over five years of weekend diversions needed to address delays and slow zones. We can eliminate slow zones, prevent unplanned service disruptions, and increase the reliability of our service,” Poftak added. “[Most] importantly, we will provide the quality of safety and service that our riders deserve.” Maximizing the amount of work able to be accomplished, crossovers that facilitate the movement of Orange Line trains, allowing for improved reliability and future capacity improvements • Track repair, tie replacement, concrete work and more along the Southwest Corridor of the Orange Line, which will improve reliability; and future capacity improvements The Orange Line provides approximately 1021,000 trips each day.

Thank you again to our summer reading sponsors: Preotle, Lane & Associates, the Friends of the Malden Public Library, Malden Cultural Council – and all our great summer volunteers. Metro Mayors issue statement on Orange Line shutdown T he Metropolitan Mayors Coalition has advocated for a fully funded, safe, reliable, frequent and accessible transportation system since the Coalition was founded in 2001. Unfortunately, the continual postponement of investments in this critical public service has led to reduced service, serious safety concerns, and now to the extended closure of the Orange Line for urgently needed repairs and upgrades. Cutting service hurts us all, but it especially hurts people in the communities most impacted by both the pandemic and recent service cuts. We urge the MBTA to provide frequent, reliable, and convenient shuttle service for Orange Line riders for the duration of these repairs to ensure that riders who rely on this service don’t lose access to their jobs, their schools, essential goods and services, and the region more broadly. In addition, we urge the MBTA to keep residents fully informed in their eff orts to make the fullest possible use of the commuter rail in mitigating the impact of the loss of Orange Line service. Choosing to temporarily close the Orange Line for full scale repairs was not a decision that the MBTA made lightly. We hope that this closure will allow the time needed for the comprehensive repairs and upgrades necessary to restore safety, effi ciency, and confi dence in the Orange Line. The Orange Line is not the only component of the MBTA system that needs large scale investments to make a safer and more reliable system. We urge the Legislature and Governor Baker to make continued substantial investments from the state’s current budgetary surplus to allow the MBTA to address all significant safety concerns and to restore more frequent service systemwide. As a Coalition, we also want to express our gratitude and support for the MBTA workers who continue to work tirelessly to provide this critical service to our residents. The safety concerns that have arisen in recent months are not because of their lack of dedication but rather due to systemic underinvestment in this critical service. We are committed to working with the T to take steps to protect riders, make the MBTA system more accessible and aff ordable for all residents, and restore trust in public transit.

Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 5, 2022 Everett, Malden, Saugus and Revere residents contributing to success on the diamond this season By Steve Freker S ummer can be a time when everyone steps back and takes a few moments, days or even weeks to relax and "recharge the batteries". When it comes to baseball, however, nothing slows down in the summer. Just the opposite: It all ramps up for baseball players. Why do you think they call them the "Boys of Summer" anyway? Just the other night a group of former longtime Malden residents and ex-local high school stars strutted their stuff in the Commonwealth Amateur Baseball League (CABL) Annual AllStar Game. For the past six years, the Powers Brothers, Manny and Nick have run the Malden Marlins franchise in the CABL, and just like their high school days, are some of the best players in the league still, as they approach their 30s. Manny Powers, a 2012 MalMASSHEALTH AND YOUR HOME Regardless of the value of your home, so long as your spouse is living in your home, it will not be considered a countable asset even if you were to go into a nursing home and qualify for MassHealth benefits. Furthermore, so long as your spouse is living in your home, MassHealth Estate Recovery will not be able to file a lien against it. If your home is held jointly, title should be transferred as quickly as possible to the healthy spouse who is still living home. If not, if the healthy spouse were to suddenly die first, title would vest 100% in the spouse who is living in the nursing home on MassHealth. The Estate Recovery Unit would then be able to recover against the equity in the home as the home would be part of the nursing home spouse’s probate estate. The transfer can be made either prior to or after admission into a nursing home. Transfers between spouses are never considered disqualifying transfers subject to the fiveyear look-back period. Once the transfer of the home takes place and the nursing home spouse is approved for MassHealth benefits, the spouse still living at home should consider, as one option, transferring the home to an irrevocable Trust in order to protect the equity in the home for the benefit of children. The five-year look-back period will commence once title has been transferred to the Trust. Although each family’s circumstances are different, and what might be good for one family might not be good for another, married couples and single individuals need to consider transferring the home to such an irrevocable Trust long before the need for a nursing home arises. One big advantage is the avoidance of probate. The home will pass to your intended beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Trust. The home can be sold at any time even after you place it into an irrevocable Trust. Since the Trust is structured as a grantor-type trust, the IRS Section 121 capital gain exclusion will still be retained. For a married couple, the capital gain exclusion on the sale of the home is $500,000. For a single person, the exclusion is $250,000. If rental property is placed into the Trust, the net rental income or loss is passed through onto the married couple’s or single person’s Form 1040. Consequently, the much higher ordinary income tax rates and capital gains tax rates associated with Trusts are avoided. Joseph D.

During deliberation in the House, I was proud to speak in support of this bill, emphasizing that abortion is not a partisan or political issue. It is a human rights issue.” “The Reproductive Health bill will ensure that anybody requiring health care for any reason, will be able to do so in Massachusetts. The Commonwealth has the best hospitals in the world, and it would be an injustice to prevent anyone from their treatment,” said Representative Paul Donato (D – Medford). “This bill also legally protects providers from being prosecuted for any service they provide.” “In the wake of the shocking Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade, it is imperative for the Commonwealth to ensure that abortion providers are fully protected and patients, whether from Massachusetts or other states, have access to the care they need,” said Senator Jason Lewis. “I was proud to join with my House and Senate colleagues in passing this critical legislation to further protect and expand access to reproductive and gender-affi rming healthcare in Massachusetts. I’m especially pleased that the bill includes an amendment I fi led to expand access to medication abortion services on our public college and university campuses to help students overcome the signifi cant barriers to care that many face today.” H.4954, An Act expanding protections for reproductive and gender-affi rming care, has been passed by the House and Senate.

Can you do a similar column for those of us who still use basic fl ip phones? My old 3G fl ip phone is about to become obsolete, so I’m looking for the cheapest possible replacement. I only need a simple cell phone (no data) for emergency calls when I’m away from home. Penny Pincher Dear Penny, For many seniors, like yourself, who only want a simple basic cell phone for emergency purposes and occasional calls, there are a number of super cheap plans available from small wireless providers you may have never heard of. Here are some of the best deals available right now. Cheapest Basic Plans For extremely light cell phone users, the cheapest wireless plan available is through US Mobile (USMobile.com), which has a “build your own plan” that starts at only $2 per month for 75 minutes of talk time. If you want text messaging capabilities, an extra $1.50/ month will buy you 50 texts per month. US Mobile runs on Verizon’s and T-Mobile’s networks and gives you the option to bring your existing phone (if compatible or unlocked) or purchase a new device, while keeping your same phone number if you wish. If your fl ip phone is becoming obsolete, as you mentioned in your question, you’ll need to buy a new device, which you can do through US Mobile if you choose their plan. They off er the “NUU F4L” fl ip phone for $39 for new customers. Or you can purchase an unlocked phone through retail stores like Walmart or Best Buy, or online. One of the best value fl ip phones right now is the (unlocked) “Alcatel GO FLIP 4044 4G LTE,” available at Amazon.com for $80. Some other super cheap wireless plans worth a look are Ultra Mobile’s “PayGo” plan (UltraMobile.com/PayGo), which provides 100 talk minutes, 100 texts for only $3 per month. And Tello’s (Tello.com) “build your own plan” that starts at $5 per month for 100 talk minutes and unlimited texting. Both Ultra Mobile PayGo and Tello also run on T-Mobile’s network and will let you use your existing phone (if compatible or unlocked) or buy a new one. Senior Targeted Providers In addition to these super cheap plans, there are several other wireless companies that cater to older customers and off er lowcost basic plans and simple fl ip phones. One of the least expensive is through TracFone (Tracfone.com), which off ers a 60-minute talk, text and web plan for $20 that lasts for 90 days. That averages out to $6.66 per month. Three other providers that are popular among seniors are Snapfon (Snapfon.com), which off ers a 100 minutes and unlimited texting plan for $10. Consumer Cellular (ConsumerCellular. com), which provides an unlimited talk plan or $15 per month. They also give 5 percent discounts to AARP members. And Lively (Lively.com), maker of the popular Jitterbug Flip2 senior-friendly fl ip phone. Their cheapest monthly plan is 300 minutes of talk and text for $15. Subsidized Plans You also need to know that if you’re on a government program such as Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income or food stamps/ SNAP. Or, if your annual household income is at or below 135 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines – $18,347 for one person, or $24,719 for two – you might also qualify for free or subsidized wireless plans from various carriers via the federal Lifeline program. To fi nd out if you’re eligibility or apply, visit LifelineSupport.org. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
