tragic case of being “in the

according to local and
state authorities. A 30-year-old
Everett man, Brian Butler, was ordered

follow an abridged version of
each shop’s curriculum.
“We are so grateful to the
Cummings Foundation for
awarding us this generous grant
and for recognizing the value
of our program,” said Superintendent
DiBarri. “This funding
will allow us to continue offering
this program with certainty
for the next 10 years, and give
more students an opportunity
to access career and technical
education.”
Northeast Metro Tech encourages

Forestdale Park’s Resident Ambassadors
M
ALDEN - When a new resident
moves into Forestdale
Park, they’re welcomed
with a full calendar of social
events and lunch dates with
new friends. That’s all thanks
to the community’s fifteen
volunteer resident ambassadors,
who take turns greeting
new residents and sharing
meals with them to help
make sure everyone feels at
home in the Assisted Living
and Compass Memory Support
community.
The ambassador program,
which was started last year,
has grown from a few friendly
faces to a full team of volunteers
who find joy in showing
new residents around the community,
walking with them to
programs and activities, and
joining them for lunch or dinner
in the community’s restaurant-style
dining room. For
many of the ambassadors, they
were motivated to join the program
after moving in and seeing
how helpful the program is
first-hand.
To recognize the commitment
and kindness of their
resident ambassadors, Forestdale
Park recently threw a special
luncheon for all fifteen ambassadors,
presenting them
with official badges that they
can wear around the community
at a catered lunch. For the
Forestdale Park team, it was a
way to say thank you and show
their appreciation for such a vital
role.
“We are truly fortunate to
have so many gracious, welcoming
residents who live here
at Forestdale Park and want to
take time to make new friends
feel at home here,” said Forestdale
Park Executive Director
Terri Guenard. “Moving into
a new home can feel overwhelming,
but having someone

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 9, 2021
Councillor Ryan O’Malley Receives Unanimous
Endorsement of Laborers’ Local Union No. 22
F
or decades, even over a century
in some cases, the infrastructure
of our nation has been
left to waste away into dangerous
incidents waiting to happen.
Those incidents are happening
more and more frequently;
often leading to unnecessary
death and destruction of
property.
For too long, we have heard
about the dangers of lead water
pipes, crumbling roads and
sidewalks, bridge collapses, natural
gas explosions, and the dangerous
deterioration of public
and private buildings. It is time
to re-build our nation from the
ground up.
As the Federal government
debates the size and scope of
major infrastructure funding, we
must begin to prepare our local
workforce to be professionally
trained to rise to the challenge
of completely reconstructing
the infrastructure of our community.
From gas lines and water
pipes, to playgrounds and
fire stations, we have a golden
opportunity to rebuild Malden
better than it has ever been before.
The
key to this challenge is ensuring
that local workers from
Malden are given the chance to
construct the high-quality projects
our community deserves.
Ryan O’Malley
City Councillor Ward 4
Projects built with the utmost
care and attention given to safety
and the quality of construction.
Projects that are built by
professional union workers from
Malden.
As a former union worker
and organizer, I have witnessed
firsthand the benefits
of collective action to fight injustice
and improve the quality
of life for all people.Good
paying union jobs are crucial
to the economic health
of post-industrial communities
like Malden. Unions present
a golden opportunity to
not only rebuild the infrastructure
of our community but
also the middle class in Malden.
That is why I am happy to
announce that Laborers’ Local
Union No. 22 has unanimously
endorsed my candidacy for
the Malden City Council representing
Ward 4.
In solidarity,

Pierrette honored by Massachusetts Black
and Latino Legislative Caucus
O
n Friday, February 26, the
Massachusetts Black and
Latino Legislative Caucus
(MBLLC) recognized Malden
resident, educator and community
leader Erga Pierrette during
the Black Excellence on the Hill
event, which is held annually
to commemorate Black leaders
and trailblazers who are driving
progress and positive change
in cities and towns across Massachusetts.
Each year MBLLC invites
all state legislators to nominate
one individual from their
district to receive recognition
at the Black Excellence on the
Hill event. The recognition is intended
to highlight the heritage
and work of those belonging
to the Black diaspora, and
the MBLLC seeks to recognize a
broad, diverse and inclusive cohort
of Black leaders, trailblazers
and changemakers from across
Massachusetts.
“As leaders, educators and as
a community we need to center
humanity. We need to push
for equity with fidelity, and also
hold folks accountable. Protocols
and procedures are needed
so that people can report their
experiences when their rights
are violated. We need our policies
to show that we value equity,
justice and access for all.
Our Black and Brown neighbors
have been hurting and they are
still hurting in our community;
we need to act with urgency to
change this narrative. There is a
lot of work to be done and it will
take all of us to do it, together,”
said Pierrette. “It takes one person
to make a difference and it
takes a group of people to bring
forth change.”
Pierrette is a social worker,
community organizer and visionary
leader who is dedicated
to dismantling systemic racism
in the community. She has been
a constant advocate for ongoing
antiracism training for the
Malden community, including
Malden educators and government
employees. In addition,
Pierrette advocates for creating
antiracism policies and practices
within the city, for decolonizing
the Malden Public School curriculum
and for the hiring and
retention of Malden educators
and government employees of
color. Pierrette envisions a Malden
where people’s identities
do not predict their educational,
health, economic and other outcomes
– where the population
of people is reflected in leadership
roles throughout the city,
and all students feel represented,
seen, heard and supported.
Pierrette is an active volunteer
who sits on multiple advisory
boards and is a member
and leader in many community
groups. She has been a
member of the City of Malden’s
Advisory Group for Obama’s
Pledge (AGOP) and is an executive
board member of the Mystic
Valley Branch of the NAACP,
president of 1RACE, Inc. (Rooting
Action to Cultivate Equality),
a member of Malden Police
Alternatives and Accountability,
a co-chair of the Malden Cultural
Council, a co-convener of
Malden Community Organizing
for Racial Equity (MaldenCORE)
and a member of the steering
committee of Malden Reads.

Pierrette was instrumental

Erga Pierrette but thanking her
as well for her advocacy and

Mayor Gary Christenson. “Erga’s
leadership has been and continues
to be a driving force in
our work to create antiracism
policies and practices within

that her tireless work and dedication
to effecting change will

for all.”

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 9, 2021
Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday –
Malden’s 4th Annual Juneteenth Celebration
By Peter F. Levine
I
t is said in Malden today, tomorrow
and yesterday...
At Malden City Hall Plaza on
Saturday, June 19, Maldonians
stood elbow to elbow and shoulder
to shoulder in celebration of
Malden’s Fourth Annual Juneteenth
Flag Raising Celebration.
Yes, you heard that right, Malden’s
Fourth – as Mayor Gary
Christenson proudly explained
to the gathering. Not our first,
as many cities in the Commonwealth
celebrated – Malden way
ahead of the curve as usual. A
very nice crowd showed up, the
plaza was full. With about 80,000
people living in Malden, though,
I’d love to see all of Pleasant
Street occupied for next year’s
event. Spread the word.
Bob and Diana Cataldo spent
60 years together, 56 of them
married. Bob passed on in March
of 2019 (yes, I know, hard to believe
two years now) and left an
enduring legacy behind. Bob
and Diana started their ambulance
service in 1977, opening
the doors of Somerville Ambulance
Service in August of that
year. The business thrives today
because of Bob’s and Diana’s loving
and caring natures. Cataldo
Ambulance was recognized today
as an industry leader. Bob
loved life. This short story illustrates
that: In 1958, Bob met Diana
Della Piana of Malden; ironically,
the two chose to drag race
each other down Revere Beach
Parkway. As fate would have it,
Diana won the race, but Bob
won Diana’s heart. Bob would
later go on to joke that Diana
had a big V8 and he had only a
total “crap box” and that is why
he lost. Bob Cataldo, remembered.
Great
to see Douglas Tran
on a recent late-night visit to
Malden’s happy place, All Season’s
Table. He looked tanned
and rested with that trademark
Douglas Tran personality
and smile in full effect. My Cosmo
was prepared by our regular
mixologist, whose name, I
am ashamed to admit, I do not
know. Nobody in the city is better
at preparing a cocktail than
this young man, by the way. This
kid could give Brother Cleve
a run for his money. (Google
Brother Cleve!) Our night was
made when we ran into the always
affable Captain Paul Hopkins
of the Malden Police Department
and Mr. and Mrs.
Edgeworth, Dom and Sheila Fermano.
Maldonians! A.S.T. is open
and ready to serve you! Please
make sure you find time to support
Douglas and the rest of the
other outstanding restaurants in
the Square this summer.
Councillor-at-Large Craig
Spadafora attended the Juneteenth
celebration, not because
he had to but because he cares –
his heart and soul fully invested
in the city that he grew up in – a
community and event he takes
to heart, in the city that he and
his whole family have made a
better place to live for decades,
generation after generation of
Spadaforas giving back to the
community and the country.
So, we’re trying to determine
what we should order at A.S.T.
– my brother Joe, Greg “Son of
Paul” Phaneuf and myself. Everything
looks so good. Everything
is good. So, we figured because
there were two Levines present
one “All Season’s Table Sampler”
would not suffice. We decided
on two A.S.T. Samplers and
some chicken fried rice. Shortly

I have received so many wonderful
emails from people letting
me know how much they appreciated
and enjoyed the “Happy

while back. Cathy MacMullin
was the impetus for me leaving
my comfort zone (Edgeworth)
and venturing outside of Ward
2 for an article. For that, I thank
her. But I must also thank her for
providing me with the bones for
the article. It was Cathy’s words
and heartfelt sentiments that
made that article work. It was
Cathy’s life story, and the story
line of her many friends and
family members, that made that
a joy to read (and write). Cathy,

The students created attention-grabbing
artwork by using
chalk on the front and rear
sidewalks of the building for the
residents to see. Along with the
Chalk Art Show, these students
have been kind to the residents
during the pandemic by creating
and delivering cards, treats

Metropolitan Regional Vocational
High School (Northeast Metro
Tech) wishes to thank community
leaders who are requesting the
state use federal American Rescue
Plan Act funding to help pay
for a new school building. Revere
Mayor Brian Arrigo, Malden Mayor
Gary Christenson and Chelsea
City Manager Thomas Ambrosino
are requesting support for
the funding for a new state-ofthe-art
building. Gateway City
Mayors Shaunna O’Connell of
Taunton and Paul Coogan of Fall
River are seeking similar spending
for the new Bristol Plymouth
Regional Technical School in
Taunton and for Greater Fall River
Vocational Technical High School
in Fall River. These five Gateway
City leaders are asking state leaders
to commit $300 million of the
Commonwealth’s expected $5.3
billion from the American Rescue
Act funds.
Northeast Metro Tech is planning
a new state-of-the-art facility
that will allow the District to
expand from 1,270 students to
about 1,600, drastically reducing
the District’s student wait
list. The building project is estimated
to cost $317.5 million. The
grant award from the Massachusetts
School Building Authority
(MSBA) is estimated to be only
$140 million, resulting in a cost to
Northeast Metro Tech’s member
communities of $177 million. The
MSBA is reviewing the proposal
and will vote on the final disbursement
in August. Northeast
Metro Tech’s 12 sending communities
will be responsible for the
balance of the costs. Tax impact
information for all 12 communities
will be available this summer.
DiBarri and fellow superintendents
are asking the MSBA
to increase its anticipated grant
awards to reflect actual costs of
these worthy construction projects.
“Urban students should
have the same access to receive
relevant and rigorous instruction
in Career Technical Education,
in safe and state-of-the-art
facilities, as students in suburban
districts,” DiBarri said.

Butler allegedly burst into the
home, brandishing a gun and
firing off shots before dashing
up the stairs to the second floor
and shooting Fitzgibbon in the
head. Butler, who fled the scene
on Fairmont Street, Malden,
around 7:15 a.m. Tuesday, shortly
after the shooting, was arrested
in the town of Ashland without
incident by state and Malden
police, who conducted an
around-the-clock investigation
following the shooting.
Prosecutors said Butler went
to the home on Fairmont Street,
located in Malden’s Belmont
neighborhood, shortly after
seven o’clock Tuesday morning,
wielding a handgun and intending
on robbing the occupants of
drugs and cash. After allegedly
shooting Fitzgibbon in the
head as she lay in a bed, prosecutors
said, Butler walked out of
the house carrying a small safe,
which allegedly contained heroin,
prescription drugs and about
$5,000 in cash. The alleged contents
of the safe were described
during police interviews of another
suspect in the case, Cody
DiGaetano, 24, of Chelsea, who
also faces charges in connection
with the incident, after he
allegedly was at the wheel of
the getaway car which took Butler
away from the murder scene
and eventually to a hideout and
Ashland. DiGaetano allegedly
helped Butler flee the murder
scene and provided him transportation
to Ashland, where
Butler stayed overnight, prosecutors
said.
DiGaetano faces charges of
accessory after the fact to an
armed robbery and accessory
after the fact to assault and battery
with a dangerous weapon.
DiGaetano was arraigned earlier
Wednesday. DiGaetano was
released on personal recognizance.
He was ordered to use
GPS monitoring, stay in Chelsea,
observe a 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.
curfew and not contact anyone
involved in the case.
Butler was ordered held without
bail in state custody after
the not guilty plea to charges
of murder, armed home invawith

Judge Emily Karstetter ordered
Butler back in court for a probable
cause hearing on August 9.
Prosecutors said Wednesday
that at least three other people,
including the mother and father
of an adult son who lived
at the residence, were home on
Tuesday when Butler arrived, allegedly
armed and planning to
commit a home invasion/robbery.
According to reports, the
suspect Butler was friends with
the adult son of the residents,
who apparently lives at the address
and was also home at the
time.
Middlesex District Attorney
Marian Ryan, at a press conference
on Tuesday where Malden
Police Chief Kevin Molis and other
investigators were present,
said the victim Erin Fitzgibbon
was simply a guest at the home
on Tuesday, that the family
members knew Butler through
their son, but that Butler and
Fitzgibbon did not know each
other. “Erin Fitzgibbon’s death
was the tragic result of her being
in the wrong place at the wrong
time,” Ryan said in a statement.
“Miss Fitzgibbon was a visitor at
that home, happened only to be
staying at that house.”
A Malden police report filed
in court said that the mother
of the family woke up Tuesday
and found Butler on her
back deck. He said he was going
to kill her and attempted to
fire his gun twice, but the gun
jammed. She recognized Butler
and initially thought he was
playing a joke, but then she became
afraid and locked the back
door. Butler then broke the glass
on the door and gained entry to
the kitchen. According to a police
report read at the arraignment
Wednesday, the husband
came to the kitchen and struggled
with Butler, who again tried
to fire his gun. Prosecutors said
in court that he fired a shot at
that time. The husband yelled
for everyone to leave the apartment,
and the woman, her husband
and her son left the home.

and follow the
group on Facebook at http://

MaldenDems).
Prosecutors said Tuesday that
the family believed Fitzgibbon
had come with them, but she
was still in the upstairs bedroom.
The family told police they
heard another gunshot from
inside and saw Butler coming
down the driveway with his
gun and one of two safes that
belonged to the family. Butler
fled in a waiting car. The family
went back inside to find Fitzgibbon
fatally shot upstairs, according
to police.
After his arrest in Ashland, police
said, Butler was interviewed
in the Malden Police Station for
nearly two hours. During the interview,
Butler allegedly told police
a second man at the location
pulled the trigger, shooting and
killing Fitzgibbon and then fleeing
the scene. Police said Butler
refused to identify the mystery
gunman, saying “he was
not a rat.”
Malden police and state police
assigned to DA Ryan’s office
are continuing the investigation.

MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6
thank you for that and thank you
for sticking around Malden and
making it the fab city it is today.
(And I hope your moms liked
the article!)
I know I do not mention City of
Malden Cemetery Director Jimmy
“Stinger” Cahill enough. I have
been told by so many readers that
they would like to see more of
their favorite cemetery director,
Mr. Cahill. Over the years the community
at large has come to know
Jimmy’s work ethic as unmatched
within these five square miles.
Many remember him as one of
the best hoop players Amerige
Park ever produced. Many also
remember him as the finest bartender
the Highland Café ever
employed (besides Dave Angelo,
Paul Gennetti, Pete Trabucco and
Richie Morando, of course.) With
that in mind, I’d like to personally
thank Jimmy for the outstanding
job he did organizing the Memorial
Day celebration at the Forestdale
Cemetery. His Herculean effort
turning the Forestdale Cemetery
into a welcoming urban
paradise, coordinating the outstanding
entertainment, acquiring
the two magnificent bronze
memorial statues, ensuring that
the festivities were ADA-compliant
and generally watching over
the proceedings like that protective
mother swan watching over
her cygnets that had taken residence
at the pond in the cemetery
(since departed for greener
pastures). Malden is very fortunate
to have Mr. Cahill (and his
wife, “The Fabulous Judy”). Jimmy,
we salute you.
I’ve lived in Malden since 1963.
I consider myself lucky to know
and to have known a lot of wonderful
people growing up here.
Looking out over the crowd
at the Juneteenth celebration,
I realized I did not know a lot
of my neighbors and realized I
didn’t know as many people as
I had previously thought. That’s
why I love going to these Malden
events; that’s why it is important
to attend these Malden
events – to get out of my/our
comfort zone. It’s an amazing
city with a lot of amazing people
just around the corner.

week. Around for about 200
years and created by the enslaved
with the most rudimentary
ingredients to become a historically
significant part of A.A.
heritage. Amazing.
“This is the end, beautiful
friend, this is the end, my only
friend, the end” – on a serious
note, someone who I really do
not write enough about is Malden’s
most indispensable employee,
Special Assistant to the
Mayor Maria Luise. Voted Most
Valuable Employee many times
in many of my previous columns,
Maria goes about her business
much like the fixer Ray Donovan;
she just gets things done. Many
of the most important things
that happen in Malden have Maria’s
fingerprints on them. But
you wouldn’t know because Maria’s
never been one to toot her
own horn. That’s what I get paid
the big bucks for! This one is for
you, Maria Luise. We thank you
for all your hard work, for your
calling to become a Public Servant
and for your dedication to
Malden. Oops, almost forgot;
and she’s wicked nice! Malden
is very lucky indeed.
Postscript: As I stood with my
sister Barbara listening to speakers
at the Juneteenth flag raising,
both of us realized just how
far we’ve come, and how much
further we need to go.
The Malden Cares campaign

Cities and towns applaud increase
in state climate resilience funding
Early heat waves signal need is far greater than available resources
C
ities and towns involved in
the Resilient Mystic Collaborative
(RMC) applauded the
doubling of annual funds for
the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness
(MVP) Grant Program
to $21 million in the Baker
Administration’s FY2022 Capital
Plan. In the latest MVP grant
round, the Commonwealth received
92 applications requesting
a total of $28 million for action
grants out of $10 million
available.
“Chelsea has already suffered
through two debilitating heat
waves and a dozen days over
90 F even before July 1st,” said
Chelsea’s Housing and Community
Development Director,
Alex Train. “Our same residents
who suffered disproportionately
through COVID are now at risk
from heat-related illnesses. We
need to upgrade our infrastructure
and services for the summer
of 2050, not 1950.”
“Extreme heat, storms,
drought, and flooding are no
longer a thing of the future. Climate
resilience needs to become
a core government function,
just like schools and roads,”
said Mystic River Watershed Association
Deputy Director Julie
Wormser. “This funding increase
is a critical down payment.”
Below are details of some of
the projects in Greater Boston’s
Mystic River Watershed seeking
MVP funding this year.
“Twelve municipalities depend
on the Charles River and
Amelia Earhart Dams to prevent
catastrophic coastal flooding of
residential neighborhoods and
businesses,” said Cambridge’s
Department of Public Works
Commissioner, Owen O’Riordan.
“It is of critical importance
that these dams and portions
of our shoreline be elevated to
ensure we protect tens of thousands
of people and billions in
property from harm. We could
use every penny in the MVP program
over the next decade just
to solve this one issue.”
“Belle Isle Marsh is by far the
largest remaining salt marsh in
Boston Harbor providing a crucial
buffer for flooding to neighboring
communities and critical
habitat for over 250 bird species,
mammals and marine animals,
said Friends of Belle Isle Marsh
President Mary Mitchell. “Funding
for restoration projects and
nature-based resiliency projects
within the marsh is needed now
to best protect against climate
change and sea level rise.”
“One of Winthrop’s most valuable
resources is Ingleside Park,
a vast green space enjoyed by
the entire Town,” said Winthrop’s
Director of Planning and Development,
Rachel Kelly. “The
Park floods after heavy rains
and snowmelt. Winthrop would
greatly benefit from additional
MVP funding to mitigate flooding
with improved drainage and
green infrastructure.”
The RMC includes 20 of 21
communities (Arlington, Belmont,
Boston, Burlington, Cambridge,
Chelsea, Everett, Lexington,
Malden, Medford, Melrose,
Reading, Revere, Somerville,
Stoneham, Wakefield, Watertown,
Winchester, Winthrop and
Woburn) and over 98 percent of
the population and land base in
the Mystic River Watershed. Together,
RMC municipalities represent
one percent of the state’s
land base and 10 percent of its
population. The partnership focuses
on fresh water and coastal
flooding and protecting vulnerable
residents and workers
from extreme weather, including
heat.
“The Resilient Mystic Collaborative
and MVP Program has
brought together cities and
towns in ways that we could
not foresee,” said Reading Senior
Civil Engineer Alex Rozycki.
“As these communities continue
to work together and evaluate
shared MVP grant possibilities
the scope and breadth of
these complex projects quickly
expands as well. Regional MVP
funding is supporting a revitalized
trail system and green
stormwater treatment systems
to increase storage and water
quality in Reading, which provides
similar benefits to downstream
communities. The estimated
cost to complete this
project alone is over two million
dollars.”
“Climate change is bringing
intense rainfall that overwhelms
our aging stormwater
systems with increased frequency,”
said Melrose Director
of Public Works Elena Proakis Ellis.
“We are working with 16 other
communities to manage local
and regional flooding through
expanded wetlands and other
nature-based solutions. With
enough small projects combined,
we can make a real difference
in our region. These projects
are too costly for communities
like Melrose to afford with local
funding alone, however. This
work is essential to the region
and brings other habitat and social
benefits along the way.”
“The industrial district that
spans Chelsea and Everett provides
thousands of good-paying
jobs and billions in annual
economic activity,” said Chelsea’s
Alex Train. “It was unfortunately
also built by filling in the Island
End River, which is now chronically
flooding during heavy
storms. The price tag for protecting
this area from flooding
over the next fifty years is north
of $50 million.”

Mystic
River Watershed
at a glance
The 76-square-mile Mystic
River Watershed stretches from
Reading through the northern
shoreline of Boston Harbor to
Revere. Its name is an anglicized
version of the Pequot word missi-tuk
(“large river with windand
tide-driven waves”), and it
is now one of New England’s
most densely populated urbanized
watersheds.
The seven-mile Mystic River
and its tributaries represented
an early economic engine for
colonial Boston. Ten shipyards
built more than 500 clipper
ships in the 1800s before roads
and railways replaced schooners
and steamships. Tide-driven
mills, brickyards and tanneries
along both banks of the river
brought both wealth and pollution.
In
the 1960s, the Amelia Earhart
Dam transformed much of
the river into a freshwater impoundment,
while construction
of Interstate 93 filled in wetlands
and dramatically changed the
river’s course. Since then, many
former industrial sites have been
cleaned up and redeveloped
into new commercial areas and
residential communities.
The Mystic is facing growing
climate-related challenges:
coastal and stormwater
flooding, extreme storms, heat,
drought and unpredictable seasonal
weather. The watershed
is relatively low-lying and extensively
developed, making it
prone to both freshwater and
coastal flooding. Its 21 municipalities
are home to a half-million
residents, including many
who are disproportionately vulnerable
to extreme weather: environmental
justice communities,
new Americans, residents
of color, elders, low-income residents
and employees, people
living with disabilities and English-language
learners.
The Immigrant Learning Center Awarded $50,000
Grant from Adelaide Breed Bayrd Foundation
M
ALDEN, Mass, July 7, 2021/
Malden’s The Immigrant
Learning Center (The ILC) has received
a $50,000 grant from the
Malden-based Adelaide Breed
Bayrd Foundation. This grant will
help fund The Immigrant Learning
Center’s English for Speakers
of Other Languages (ESOL) programs.
Since opening its doors
in 1992, The Immigrant Learning
Center has offered free ESOL
classes to 11,000 adult students.
The ILC now offers ESOL and citizenship
classes to more than
900 students in a typical year.
This grant is particularly helpful
to The Immigrant Learning
Center in the wake of a very
challenging year. During the
COVID-19 pandemic, The Immigrant
Learning Center had
to pivot almost overnight to virtual
classes. The pandemic also
forced The ILC to cancel The Immigrant
Learning Center’s Barry
M. Portnoy Immigrant Entrepreneur
Awards and the annual
Golf Classic fundraisers. This
grant will help recoup the lost
funds and ensure that The ILC
can continue its mission of giving
immigrants a voice. “We’re
so grateful for The Adelaide
Breed Bayrd Foundation, which
has supported our immigrant
and refugee students for more
than 20 years,” says The ILC’s Director
of Development Mark
Correia.
The Adelaide Breed Bayrd
Foundation has two policies
guiding their grant-giving: “To
support organizations, the activities
of which are centered
in Malden, Massachusetts and
surrounding communities. To
support organizations elsewhere,
the activities of which
give substantial benefits to Malden,
Massachusetts and surrounding
communities.” While
The Immigrant Learning Center’s
students come from far and
wide, the center has deep roots
in Malden. The ILC’s Founder
and CEO Diane Portnoy’s family
immigrated to Malden when
she was a toddler and she returned
as an adult to create
the free adult education program
that she wished her parents
had when they were newcomers.
The majority of The ILC’s
students live in Malden, a place
where more than 40 percent of
residents belong to the city’s
rich, diverse community of immigrants.
In offering this grant,
the Adelaide Breed Bayrd Foundation
is honoring and supporting
Malden’s newcomer neighbors.

Malden High’s McMahon selected
for Mass. Coaches State All-Star Game
Tornado sophomore pitcher will represent MHS in Sophomore Select Game
By Jason Mazzilli
I
t’s already been a solid year on
the baseball diamond for Malden
High School sophomore
Brandon McMahon.
The lanky 10th grader led Malden
in both hitting and pitching
for the 2021 season and was
named to the Greater Boston
League All-Conference Team,
one of only two sophomores on
the 12-man squad.
More honors came recently
for McMahon, a 6-2, 200 right
handed hurler and third baseman
when he was selected
to play in the Mass. Baseball
Coaches Association (MBCA)
State Sophomore Select AllStar
Team.
McMahon is one of 40 of the
best sophomores statewide
who will square off today at
1:30 pm at Monan Park at UMass
Boston in the 3rd Annual State
Sophomore Game.
No game was held in 2020
due to COVID-19 so this is the
3rd Annual Game today.
“Brandon had a great season
for us and was one of the
top players in the GBL,” Malden
head coach Steve Freker said.
“He was a solid pitcher for us
and led us at the plate as well.
He has a strong future ahead
of him.”
McMahon hit .447 this last season
with a team-leading 15 RBIs
and 13 runs scored. He hit 5 doubles,
3 triples and the team’s only
home run.
“It’s a great honor for Brandon
and our school and we are very
proud of his accomplishments
and what excited for what is
ahead for him,” Coach Freker
added.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 9, 2021
Beacon Hill
Roll Call
By Bob Katzen
THE HOUSE AND SENATE:
Beacon Hill Roll Call records the
votes of local representatives
and senators from the week of
June 28-July 2.
OVERRIDE BAKER’S VETO
OF PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT
FOR SOLDIERS' HOME
(S 2439)
House 130-30, Senate 37-3,
overrode Gov. Charlie Baker’s
veto of a section of the bill authorizing
$400 million to fund the
construction of a new Soldiers’
Home in Holyoke. The section
requires the home be built under
a Project Labor Agreement
(PLA) that ensures that union labor
will be used to build the facility
by mandating a pre-bid, prehire
collective bargaining agreement
for the construction.
“This [PLA] requirement
threatens the viability of this
project by limiting fair competition
and disproportionately reducing
opportunities for minority,
women and veteran-owned
businesses,” wrote Gov. Charlie
Baker in his veto message. “It
will also raise the overall costs
of this project precipitously and
may result in a labor shortage,
putting the project and project
timeline in jeopardy.”
“PLAs create barriers to entry
that eliminate the equality
of opportunity that is central
to the commonwealth’s public
construction process,” continued
Baker. “While PLAs do not
technically prohibit non-union
contractors from bidding on a
project, PLA terms make it cost
prohibitive and impractical for
any non-union member to participate.”
“I
voted to uphold the project
labor agreement provision…
because it establishes practical
standards for fair pay and
workplace safety,” said Senate
Marc Pacheco (D-Taunton). “In
addition, the language … includes
key safeguards designed
to ensure inclusion and equity
amongst project contractors.
Construction initiatives
throughout the commonwealth
have successfully implemented
project labor agreements in recent
years and I am pleased the
hardworking employees tasked
with building this new facility
will be able to rely on reasonable
workplace conditions.”
"Gov. Baker recognizes the
risk that the project-labor agreement
could bring to the Holyoke
Soldiers' Home project,”
said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton)
who opposed the PLA provision.
“Not only will it exclude
the opportunity for women and
minority owned businesses to
bid on components of the project,
but the PLA could also signal
unforeseen budget expenditures
that drive the cost over
budget. These risks will threaten
the commonwealth's ability
to secure VA funding that is
needed to match the commonwealth’s
financial commitment
in this bill."
“This [PLA] language and resulting
agreement will ensure
that hard-earned, taxpayer dollars
are spent efficiently to build
a new soldiers’ home that is on
time, on budget and worthy of
the veterans it will serve,” said
Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough)
the Senate sponsor of
the language. “The language …
commits to recruiting and hiring
a workforce that is diverse, local,
safe, well-trained and highly
skilled. Despite the governor’s
vocal opposition, the Senate
took steps by overriding his
veto, to assist women, minority
and veteran owned businesses
in creating jobs and opportunities
now and in the future,
as well as expanded opportunities
for many local working-class
people in the construction
trades.”
In an unusual occurrence, Senate
Ways and Means chairman
Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport)
broke with Senate President
Karen Spilka and her leadership
team was one of only
three senators and the only
Democrat to vote with the governor
against the PLA. Beacon
Hill Roll Call asked Rodrigues
why he voted against the PLA.
His spokesman Bently Holt responded,
"The senator is tied up
in conference and so will not be
issuing a statement on this.” Rodrigue
also voted against the
PLA agreement when it was up
for a vote in April. At that time,
he told the State House News
Service, "I have problems with
anytime we limit competition
on any sort of public construction
projects. I think more competition
is healthier for everyone.
It's better for the taxpayers."
(A “Yes” vote is for overriding
Baker’s veto and favors the PLA
provision. A “No” vote is for sustaining
the governor’s veto and
against the PLA provision.)
Rep. Paul Donato Yes
Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes
Sen. Jason LewisYes
$200 MILLION FOR LOCAL
ROADS AND BRIDGES (S 2486)
Senate 39-0, approved a bill
that includes authorizing $200
million in one-time funding for
the maintenance and repair of
local roads and bridges in cities
and towns across the state.
The package is a bond bill under
which the funding would be
borrowed by the state through
the sale of bonds. The House
has already approved a different
version of the proposal and
a House-Senate conference
committee will likely work out
a compromise.
“Safe roads, reliable bridges
and modernized transit infrastructure
made possible
through this bill exemplifies
the Senate’s approach to public
transportation,” said Senate
Transportation Committee
Chair Joe Boncore (D-Winthrop).
“The economic impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic have made
the need for this funding more
urgent. These investments will
provide critical funding for shovel-ready
transportation projects
in our cities and towns, create
jobs and support local and regional
economies.”
“The measure we passed today
will provide our cities and
towns with the resources they
need to invest in critical infrastructure
projects,” said Senator
Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth).
“Investing in our roads,
sidewalks and bridges is an investment
in the longevity and
safety of our communities.”
“It is good news that the…bill
jumped another hurdle on Beacon
Hill and is moving ahead,”
said Massachusetts Municipal
Association (MMA) Executive
Director Geoff Beckwith. “The
construction season is getting
shorter with each passing day,
and there is a huge need to enact
the bill now. Communities
depend on these funds for critical
road repair projects. We are
also asking that the state add to
this $200 million … bill by using
some of this year’s large budget
surplus to put even more funding
on the street, as it has done
in past years. MMA estimates
that the annual cost of getting
and maintaining 30,000 miles
of municipal roads into a state
of good repair is approximately
$600 million, and communities
don’t have the resources to get
there themselves. While passing
the…bill is an important step,
going beyond $200 million is
essential.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)
Sen. Jason Lewis Yes
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 filed. They
note that the infrequency and
brief length of sessions are misguided
and lead to irresponsible
late-night sessions and a mad
rush to act on dozens of bills in
the days immediately preceding
the end of an annual session.
During the week of June 28July

of four hours and 24 minutes
while the Senate met for a total
of two hours and 45 minutes

I
n an effort to bolster public
safety and awareness at
state parks and beaches, Governor
Charlie Baker recently
filed legislation to increase
fines for swimming outside
designated waterfronts across
the Commonwealth. The legislation,
“An Act Relative to Enhanced
Enforcement of Swimming
Limitations,” would increase
the maximum fine to
$500 for entering or swimming
in any waters on Department
of Conservation
and Recreation (DCR) property
that are not designated
for swimming. The legislation
would provide an appropriate
penalty for swimming in unsafe
areas and deter park visitors
from considering these
dangerous activities.
“Swimming at undesignated
waterfronts is dangerous
and too often leads to tragic
consequences, and this legislation
is part of a comprehensive
plan to discourage
risky behavior and ensure the
safety of visitors to our state
parks and beaches,” said Baker.
“While we encourage all to
visit our beautiful coastal and
inland beaches, we urge the
public to exercise caution and
not swim at any body of water
that has not been designated
for swimming by state or local
authorities.”
“From the Berkshires to
Cape Cod, Massachusetts is
home to many waterbodies
and coastlines offering great
opportunities for outdoor
recreation; however, we have
already seen far too many
tragic accidental drownings
occur already this year,” said
Lieutenant Governor Karyn
Polito. “We look forward to
working with our colleagues
in the Legislature to move
quickly on these important
changes.”
Under current law, penalties
for violating the DCR’s
rules and regulations vary depending
on whether a property
was once part of the Metropolitan
District Commission,
with fines ranging from $20
to $200. The filed legislation
establishes a uniform maximum
fine of $500 for entering
or swimming in waters other
than those designated for
swimming by the DCR.
At its many designated
waterfronts throughout the
state, the DCR offers services
like clearly marked swimming
areas with ropes and
buoys, lifeguards on-duty,
and water quality testing.
Undesignated waterfronts
do not receive such services,
and may also have hazardous
features like murky water,
steep slopes, and aquatic
plant species, creating a potentially
dangerous situation
for swimmers.
“The legislation filed today
reflects the Baker-Polito Administration’s
commitment to
the health and safety of Massachusetts
residents and visitors,”
said Secretary of Energy
and Environmental Affairs
Kathleen Theoharides. “Increasing
fines is a critical part
of our comprehensive strategy
to prevent potential tragedies
and ensure all visitors
to the Commonwealth’s state
parks have a safe and enjoyable
experience.”
“DCR welcomes visitors of
all ages and swimming abilities
to our waterfronts each
summer season, and we ask
that each person heed park
signs, staff direction, and water
safety recommendations,”
said DCR Commissioner James
Montgomery. “The increase
in fines for swimming in unsafe
waters on DCR property
is another example of the Administration’s
continued commitment
to increasing safety
throughout our state park
system.”
DCR has been coordinating
with the Executive Office
of Energy and Environmental
Affairs (EEA), the Massachusetts
State Police (MSP) and
the Massachusetts Environmental
Police (MEP) to implement
new measures to enhance
public safety and discourage
swimming at undesignated
waterfronts. DCR has
produced and posted dozens
of new swimming safety
signs at DCR parks and beaches.
These signs will be in multiple
languages at select areas
such as Houghton’s Pond
within the Blue Hills State Reservation
in Canton. DCR has
also increased outreach for
the agency’s Learn to Swim
program, which offers free
swimming lessons at 12 locations
statewide for people of
all ages.
The DCR recently announced
that it has increased
lifeguard pay from $17 per
hour or $18 per hour for head
guards to $20 per hour and
$21 per hour. Lifeguards who
remain committed for the entire
season with the DCR will
also receive a $500 bonus at
the end of the season. DCR
continues to actively recruit
individuals to become a lifeguard
at its inland and coastal
waterfronts, and deep water
swimming pools in the Boston
Region (including Cambridge
and the surrounding towns),
the North Region (specifically
Saugus, Nahant and East Boston),
the South Region (specifically
Sandwich and Westport)
and the Central Region (Metro
West to Worcester County).
Interested individuals can apply
online and are strongly encouraged
to call James Esposito
at 857- 214-0400 or visit the
DCR’s lifeguarding webpage,
application information, and
lifeguard requirements can
be found.
Public health officials confirm season’s
first West Nile mosquito sample
he state Department of
Public Health (DPH) recently
announced that West Nile
virus (WNV) has been detected
in mosquitoes in Massachusetts
for the first time this
year. The presence of WNV was
confirmed today by the state
Public Health Laboratory in
a mosquito sample collected
on June 29 in Medford. No human
or animal cases of WNV
or Eastern Equine Encephalitis
(EEE) have been detected
so far this year.There is no elevated
risk level or risk-level
change associated with this
finding.
“The first WNV infected mosquito
of the season is always
a signal that it is time to start
taking steps to avoid mosquito
bites,” said DPH Acting
Commissioner Margret
Cooke. “WNV is part of summer
in Massachusetts and as
we head into this long holiday
weekend, it is important to remember
that while WNV can
cause serious illness, there are
simple things that you can do
to protect yourself and your
loved ones.”
T
WNV is usually transmitted
to humans through the bite
of an infected mosquito. There
were 8 human cases of WNV
in 2020. In 2018, there were
49 human cases of WNV infection
acquired in Massachusetts
- the greatest number of
cases the Commonwealth has
ever had in a single year. While
WNV can infect people of all
ages, people over the age of
50 are at higher risk for severe
disease. Most people infected
with WNV will have no symptoms.
When present, WNV
symptoms tend to include fever
and flu-like illness. In rare
cases, more severe illness can
occur.
“These simple actions can
help protect you from mosquito
bites and the diseases
they can cause,” said state
Epidemiologist Dr. Catherine
Brown. “The tools for prevention
include using a mosquito
repellent with an EPA-registered
ingredient according
to the directions on the label,
wearing clothing to reduce exposed
skin when weather permits,
draining standing water
to prevent mosquito breeding,
and repairing window screens
to keep mosquitoes out of
your home.”
Additional information, including
all WNV and EEE positive
results, can be found on
the Arbovirus Surveillance Information
web page at Mosquito-borne
Diseases | Mass.
gov, which is updated daily,
or by calling the DPH Division
of Epidemiology at 617983-6800.
To
Avoid Mosquito Bites
• Apply Insect Repellent
When Outdoors. Use a repellent
with an EPA-registered ingredient
(DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide),
permethrin,
picaridin (KBR 3023), oil of
lemon eucalyptus [p-methane
3, 8-diol (PMD)] or IR3535) according
to the product label
instructions. DEET products
should not be used on infants
under two months of age and
should be used in concentrations
of 30 percent or less
on older children. Oil of lemon
eucalyptus should not be
used on children under three
years of age.
• Be Aware of Peak Mosquito
Hours. The hours from
dusk to dawn are peak biting
times for many mosquitoes.
Consider rescheduling
outdoor activities that occur
during evening or early morning
in areas of high risk.
• Wear Appropriate Clothing
to Help Reduce Mosquito
Bites. Wearing long sleeves,
long pants and socks when
outdoors will help keep mosquitoes
away from your skin.
Mosquito-Proof
Your Home
• Drain Standing Water.
Mosquitoes lay eggs in standing
water. Limit the number of
places around your home for
mosquitoes to breed by either
draining or discarding items
that hold water. Check rain
gutters and drains. Empty unused
flowerpots and wading
pools and change the water
in birdbaths frequently.
• Install or Repair Screens.
Keep mosquitoes outside by
having tightly-fitting screens
on all windows and doors.
Protect Your
Animals
Animal owners should reduce
potential mosquito
breeding sites on their property
by eliminating standing
water from containers such
as buckets, tires, and wading
pools – especially after
heavy rains. Water troughs
provide excellent mosquito
breeding habitats and should
be flushed out at least once
a week during the summer
months to reduce mosquitoes
near paddock areas. Horse
owners should keep horses
in indoor stalls at night to reduce
their risk of exposure to
mosquitoes. Owners should
also speak with their veterinarian
about mosquito repellents
approved for use in
animals and vaccinations to
prevent WNV and EEE. If an
animal is suspected of having
WNV or EEE, owners are
required to report this to the
Department of Agricultural
Resources, Division of Animal
Health by calling 617626-1795
and to the DPH by
calling 617-983-6800.

~ Advocate Movie Review ~
Black Widow’s first solo mission fails
to meet objective; rating: D+
By Mitch Ringenberg
A
common criticism lobbed towards
the Marvel Cinematic
Universe (MCU) is that each
of their movies all look, feel and
move pretty much the same.
When a promising indie director
like Taika Waititi (the New
Zealand filmmaker who helmed
2017’s “Thor: Ragnarok”) or recent
Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao
(this year’s upcoming “Eternals”)
is scooped up by Disney to direct
their latest Avengers-adjacent
blockbuster, it’s often difficult
to see their thumbprints in
the final product. It’s like when
Quentin Tarantino directed a
couple episodes of “CSI” back in
2005; these directors are there to
film one chapter of a larger story
and collect a handsome paycheck
while they’re at it.
Thus, credit should be given
to director Cate Shortland
for imbuing “Black Widow”
with a noticeably darker tone
than previous MCU outings.
Set shortly after the events of
“Captain America: Civil War,”
this prequel focuses on the
tortured backstory of Scarlett
Johansson’s Russian-superspy-turned-Avenger
Natasha
Romanoff (codename Black
Widow). The film is a spy thriller
about survivor’s guilt and
the trauma women carry after
spending time with abusive,
domineering men. At
least that’s what “Black Widow”
wants to be about. Unfortunately,
all that thematic ambition
is undermined by graceless,
CGI-heavy action and lackluster
storytelling. This movie
desperately wants to capture
the grim espionage thrills
of “The Bourne Identity,” but it
ultimately feels like an inferior
imitation.
The film begins with an
opening credits montage of
female child soldiers being
brainwashed and trained in lethal
combat as a breathy, female-sung
cover of Nirvana’s
“Smells Like Teen Spirit” plays
to let you know that this movie
is gritty, by golly. Like the rest
of “Black Widow,” the sequence
is filled with desaturated colors
and quick cuts that render
the onscreen action almost incomprehensible.
Young girls being
trained to kill for their country
is a pretty heavy concept for
a superhero movie made for
children, but sadly there aren’t
enough ideas at play here to justify
such loaded imagery.
The story finds Natasha forced
to reconcile with her estranged
family after an attempt is made
on her life by a mute assassin
named Taskmaster. In an intriguing
twist, her family was formed
in America during an undercover
mission by her parents Alexei
(an amusing David Harbour)
and Melina (a Rachel Weisz without
much to do), yet once Alexei’s
cover is blown, the unit is
quickly disbanded, and Natasha
and her sister Yelena (Florence
Pugh, also wasted here)
are turned over to a shady government
program in Russia. The
film is at its strongest when exploring
the strained dynamics
between this highly dysfunctional
family. A stretch in the
middle shows both sisters confronting
their parents about the
falsehoods of their upbringing.
To mom and dad, it was an assignment
that got a little too
personal; to Natasha and Yelena,
it was their entire lives.
Yet whenever “Black Widow”
appears to be finding a groove
with its characters, it abruptly
shifts gears into a noisy action
set piece. Character growth is
substituted for bloated spectacle
at every turn, and a third
act that should be an emotional
payoff for a family finally coming
together to defeat the big
baddie is instead a noisy mess
with a bunch of people running
in front of unconvincing greenscreen
explosions while atop a
crumbling spaceship. Even the
smaller action beats fail to satisfy:
A hand-to-hand fight between
Johansson and Pugh in a
kitchen is clearly an homage to
similar, far superior fight scenes
from “The Bourne Supremacy”
and “Atomic Blonde.” However,
any potential impact is sapped
out by annoying editing techniques.
A single kick or punch
will contain so many quick cuts
that it’s hard to discern who’s doing
what. That’s a massive disappointment
considering that
when you have a superhero as
iconic as Black Widow you best
be sure to let her shine.
“Black Widow” comes to theaters
and Disney+ on July 9.

AG Healey secures nearly $300K
for students of online for-profit school
Special to The Advocate
A
ttorney General Maura
Healey recently announced
that a former online for-profit
school will pay nearly $300,000
to settle allegations that it unfairly
imposed excessive technology
fees on students and
failed to make proper disclosures.
The
assurance of discontinuance,
filed on Wednesday in
Suffolk Superior Court against
Zovio Inc. (formerly Bridgepoint
Education, Inc.), which
owned Ashford University LLC,
settles claims that the school
violated state consumer protection
laws and regulations
prohibiting unfair or deceptive
practices.
“This settlement provides
much-needed relief to students
who were overcharged by this
online for-profit school,” said
Healey. “Protecting students
from unfair and deceptive tactics
continues to be a top priority
of this office and we will go after
for-profit schools that exploit
and deceive students.”
Ashford University, which is
now closed, offered associate,
bachelors, masters, and doctoral
degrees online in a variety of
subjects. The AG’s Office alleges
that the school unfairly imposed
a one-time excessive “Technology
Services Fee” on all students
after six weeks of enrollment
and retained the entire fee regardless
of how long a student
remained enrolled at the school.
The AG’s Office also alleges the
school failed to disclose material
information to prospective students
about its programs.
Under the terms of this settlement,
Zovio will pay a total
of $295,120, which will be used
to provide payments to certain
Ashford University students.
The company will also waive
remaining institutional debts
owed to the school by Massachusetts
students who attended
between 2011 and 2014. Zovio
is required to inform the AG’s
Office if it resumes marketing
and/or recruitment activities in
Massachusetts prior to the enrollment
of any Massachusetts
student.
Addressing fraud and abuse
in the for-profit school and student
lending industry has been
a top priority for Healey since
taking office. The AG’s Office
has taken predatory schools to
court, changed the practices of
student loan servicers, gone after
unlawful student loan “debt
relief” companies, and helped
student borrowers find more
affordable repayment solutions
through Healey’s first-inthe-nation
Student Loan Assistance
Unit. The AG’s Office
also houses the State’s Student
Loan Ombudsman, who
advocates for student borrower
rights.
Massachusetts students who
are looking for help or information
should file a Student Loan
Help Request at www.mass.gov/
ago/studentloans or call the
AG’s Student Loan Helpline at
1-888-830-6277.

Top Smartphones for
Tech-Shy Seniors
Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you recommend some good smartphones for older
seniors? I would like to get my 78-year-old mother to upgrade to a
smartphone but want something that’s easy for her to see and use.
Shopping Around
Dear Shopping,
There are actually several smartphones I can recommend
that will provide your mother a simpler, less intimidating
smartphone experience. Here are my top three options.
Apple iPhones: Because of the quality and functionality of
Apple products, an iPhone is a great choice for seniors who
are inexperienced with technology. But, to make it easier for
you mom to use, you’ll need to set it up and customize it to
meet her needs and preferences.
To set-up your mom’s iPhone and make it senior-friendly,
start by cleaning-up/decluttering the home screen, which you
can do by deleting the apps your mom won’t use and hiding
the apps she’ll rarely use in labeled folders or the App Library.
The fewer options the better!
You’ll also want to set up a small number of contacts (with
photos) to family and friends that your mom frequently
communicates with and install some apps she would enjoy
using.
Finally, iPhones have a wide variety of built-in accessibility
features you can turn on depending on your mom’s needs.
These features, which you access through the phone’s
settings, can help users that have diminished vision, hearing
impairment, hand dexterity problems or cognitive loss.
Some popular accessibility features among older iPhone
users include larger text and icon display, zoom (screen
magnification), magnifier (turns iPhone into a magnifying
glass), increased volume and alerts, voice control, find my
iPhone, and emergency SOS and medical ID set up. But there
are dozens of other tweaks you can make to enhance your
mom’s experience with her iPhone.
For a rundown of the different accessibility features
and instructions on how to set them up, see Apple.com/
accessibility.
If you’re interested in this option, the iPhone 12 (5G, 6.1-inch
display screen, $800) or iPhone 12 mini (5G, 5.4-inch screen,
$700) are excellent choices. Or, for a more budget-friendly
phone consider the iPhone SE (4.7-inch screen, $400) that
came out in 2020.
Samsung Galaxy: If you’re an android phone user and
would like to get your mom a phone that you’re familiar with,
you should consider a Samsung.
All Samsung phones offer an “Easy Mode” feature in their
settings that boosts the text and icon size, and simplifies the
home-screen layout and contacts, which makes these phones
a nice option for seniors or tech-newbies.
These phones also have a variety of accessibility features -see
Samsung.com/us/accessibility/galaxy-mobile for instructions
– that can accommodate your mom’s needs.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 5G (6.2-inch screen, $800) or more
moderately priced Galaxy A71 5G (6.7-inch screen, $600) are
good choices to consider here.
Lively Smart: Another less expensive option to consider
is to purchase your mom a smartphone that’s specifically
designed for seniors. The best one available is the new Lively
Smart offered by Best Buy.
This phone has a 6.2-inch screen, large text and a simple
list-based menu that provides one-touch access to frequently
used features like video chat, camera, email and more. It also
offers a nice variety of optional health and safety features you
can add on like:\
· Urgent Response, which is a mobile medical alert service
that would connect your mom to a Lively agent in emergency
situations, 24/7, who would confirm her location and get her
the help she needs.
· Urgent Care, which would let your mom to speak to a
registered nurse or board-certified doctor anytime.
· Lively Link, which is an app that sends alerts to family and
friends if your mom calls urgent response.
· Personal Operator Service, who can assist your mom with
tasks like helping find addresses, setting up appointments
booking Lively Rides through a partnership with Lyft and
much more.
The Lively Smart is available online at Lively.com or at Best
Buy stores for $150. .

OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 9, 2021
LAURA ROSI OF HOUSING FAMILIES HONORED AS COMMONWEALTH HEROINE
Rosi nominated by Senator Jason Lewis in recognition of her leadership as CEO of
Malden-based housing and homelessness prevention organization
B
OSTON, MA (JUNE 23, 2021)
The Massachusetts Commission
on the Status of Women
announced the recognition
of Housing Families CEO Laura
Rosi as one of the 2021 Commonwealth
Heroines of Massachusetts
following nomination
by Massachusetts Senator Jason
Lewis.
Laura Rosi is the CEO of Housing
Families, a Malden-based
housing and homelessness prevention
organization that also
operates an academic and therapeutic
program for children
and adults. Housing Families is
one of the largest operators of
affordable housing and shelter
for homeless and very low-income
families in Massachusetts.
The non-profit organization recently
expanded its services by
opening its first-ever adult individual
shelter in Malden.
“I am honored to receive this
award and incredibly grateful for
Housing Families’ staff and partners
who have worked tirelessly
during the pandemic to bring
services to our shared community.
And thank you to Senator Lewis
for being a champion of our
work and for his part in advocating
for the much-needed Malden
Individual Shelter,” said Laura Rosi.
Rosi joined Housing Families
as CEO during a period of difficulty
for the community-based
organization, and Housing Families
has stabilized and thrived
under her leadership. During
the COVID-19 pandemic, Housing
Families’ Homelessness Prevention
and Legal Services Program
helped approximately 600
families remain housed and administered
rental assistance to
more than 200 families.
“Especially since the onset of
the COVID-19 pandemic, Housing
Families and Laura Rosi have
been working on the front lines
in our community to address
homelessness, housing insecurity,
and poverty,” said Senator
Jason Lewis, who nominated
Rosi as a Commonwealth Heroine.
“Laura is a tireless leader
whose hard work and vision
have made incredible impacts
in the lives of our neighbors and
fellow residents.”
Rosi’s passion for tackling issues
with housing and homelessness
began when she
worked as a Housing Advocate
at Housing Families, helping
families obtain permanent
housing. This role provided Rosi
with an understanding of the
families’ needs at a deeper level
and enabled her to identify
many systemic inefficiencies
and inconsistencies tied to subREAL

sidized housing. This experience
prompted her to become active
in advocacy and policy.
Rosi has been with Housing
Families for more than 12 years.
Before being appointed CEO
in 2019, she served as Housing
Families’ Director of Homelessness
Prevention and Advocacy.
Rosi is a graduate of Suffolk Law
School, and in her spare time
she has worked on pro bono
Domestic Violence and Special
Education projects. Rosi is also a
board member of Metro North
Housing Corp and a member
of the Real Estate/Affordable
Housing Section of the Boston
Bar Association.
Each year, the Massachusetts
Commission on the Status of
Women (MCSW) invites all state
legislators to nominate one individual
from their district to receive
recognition at the Commonwealth
Heroines event. The
recognition is intended to highlight
the contributions of women
who make a difference in
communities across the Commonwealth.
These women are
not normally recognized by the
media but perform acts of kindness
every day to help those
around them.
The MCSW is an independent
state agency that was legislatively
created in 1998 to advance
women of the Commonwealth
to full equality in all areas
of life and to promote their
rights and opportunities. The
Commission provides a voice
for Massachusetts women and
is comprised of 19 members
who are appointed by the Governor,
Senate President, Speaker
of the House of Representatives,
and the Caucus of Women
Legislators.
