State Primary Election set for Tuesday, Sept. 6; early voting in Malden begins on Aug. 27 First Malden Election Day with New Voting Map, featuring 27 Voting Precincts, most in city history By Steve Freker T he State Primary Election will be held on Tuesday, September 6 in the city of Malden and statewide. Voters will select a new Governor, Lieutenant Governor and several other statewide posts, while also voting for representatives in the Mass. House as well as Mass. Senate. This election will be historic in that it will feature the most polling places in Malden city history: 27, representing 27 precincts within the eight city voting Wards. Early voting begins in Malden Senator Jason Lewis recently joined a group of cyclists and other local offi cials as the cyclists set forth from the MBTA’s Malden Center Station to ride the in-process Mystic Highlands Greenway. Senator Lewis has been collaborating with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), municipal offi cials and advocates to advance the vision for this new greenway connecting Malden, Melrose, Stoneham, Reading and Wakefi eld. on Saturday, August 27 for the upcoming state primary election. Polls will be open on primary election day, Sept. 6, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The State Election is then set for Nov. 8 with a voter registration deadline of Oct. 29. The Malden City Council on Tuesday night at a special meeting unanimously voted to approve the early voting schedule. Earlier this year the Council approved the list of Malden polling places.

(Courtesy/MBTA) By Steve Freker A decision by MBTA planners to skip the two Chinatown Orange Line stops in downtown Boston when they devised the shuttle bus plan which is designed to mitigate the eff ects of the August 19-September 19 service shutdown is being challenged. The plan now in place – where the bus shuttle service would bypass Chinatown and Tufts Medical Stations – would also have an impact in Malden and surrounding communities, due to the large immigrant and Asian-American community in this region.

Wade R ecently, the Massachusetts Legislature passed An Act expanding protections for reproductive and gender-affi rming care, which protects and expands access to abortion and other reproductive and gender-affi rming healthcare in the Commonwealth. This comprehensive legislation affi rms Massachusetts’s leadership when it comes to reproductive rights and freedom in the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. “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 healthcare services they need,” said State 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-affirming healthcare in Massachusetts. I’m especially pleased that the fi nal bill includes an amendment I fi led during the Senate debate to expand access to medication abortion services on our public colother provisions in the bill: • A requirement that the Department of Public Health issue a standing order enabling all licensed pharmacists to dispense emergency contraception • A requirement that all insurance providers must cover abortion or abortion-related care without imposing any out-ofpocket costs on patients. • A requirement that all pubSenator Jason Lewis lege and university campuses to help students overcome the signifi cant barriers to care that many face today.” This 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 prohibits law enforcement offi cials from cooperating with out-of-state or federal law enforcement agencies investigating abortion care that is legal in Massachusetts. Healthcare providers and patients will also have the option to countersue over abusive litigation. Some lic colleges and universities in the Commonwealth must either provide medication abortion access for their students or be able to refer them to another provider • Affi rmation of the right to gender-affirming healthcare in the Commonwealth, in case the Supreme Court were to also strip away LGBTQ+ protections in the future • Clarifi cation of the language included in the 2020 ROE Act regarding circumstances when a patient may seek an abortion later in pregnancy. In late July, the Massachusetts Legislature enacted An Act expanding protections for reproductive and gender-affirming care, and it was signed into law by Governor Charlie Baker (Chapter 127 of the Acts of 2022).

Time to provide factual information to the public concerning the recent antics of Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley and the Parks and Recreation Committee he chairs. Let’s start with a little background. When I was forming Committees for 2022, Councillor O’Malley asked that he chair the Parks and Recreation Committee. He indicated he had some great ideas and was committed to putting in the time. I obliged. Fast forward to the end of June. From January to June 28th, O’Malley scheduled zero meetings for the committee. None. Not a single one. Frustrated by the lack of commitment to a topic of great interest to the community, a fellow councillor started to take matters into his own hands to address some of the issues the Parks and Recreation Committee should have addressed. This set off a sequence of events that really were a low moment in Malden politics. Over the past several months, the Technology Committee, headed by Councillor Amanda Linehan, has been working diligently to establish transparent and consistent parameters under which Council Committees would provide for remote attendance and/or participation. It’s more nuanced than many realize as those who are involved will attest. Until such time as a policy has adopted, the Council has been conducting all meetings in person. This ensures consistency and compliance with laws until the Policy is approved by the Council. When O’Malley realized that another Councillor was going to start working to fill in the gap O’Malley had left by not meeting, O’Malley started scrambling. He scheduled a last-minute meeting, after the City Council deadline for scheduling meetings and in violation of Council rules. O’Malley isn’t one for following rules. He also indicated he wanted to hold it via zoom. I reminded him that the Council had yet to adopt a policy allowing such meetings. The agenda got posted with the information on the meeting, including the room where the meeting would be held, and without information on remote participation. O’Malley proceeded to post to social media a zoom link to the meeting, in an obvious attempt to stir things up, and in clear violation of Open Meeting Laws. Our legal department did an excellent job outlining the issues, and O’Malley was told by our attorneys, professionals who have already been licensed to practice law, in terms as clear as could be that a zoom meeting that was not advertised as part of the agenda was a violation of Open Meeting Laws. O’Malley scoffed at the advice and indicated his intent to violate the law regardless. In response to the above, in my role as Council President, I ordered the link to be disabled to the meeting, so that we would not be found in violation of Open Meeting Laws and fined. I did not consult with the Mayor, as this was City Council business. We had clear legal guidance on the matter, and O’Malley was trying to intentionally get the city fined. That wasn’t acceptable. The link was subsequently disabled. What has transpired since this meeting has been nothing short of shameful. O’Malley has filed complaints with HR directed against the employees who were directed, by me, to shut down the illegal link. O’Malley has ordered that an investigation take place and that these employees face disciplinary action. The employees in question are long tenured, highly respected employees. The residents of Malden deserve to know the truth. The employees of the City deserve to be treated with respect, in a workplace free from harassment and intimidation. O’Malley should be held accountable for the shenanigans he has been engaging in.

SAGECare’s accreditation process involved an in-person training geared toward Forestdale Park’s team of managers, paired with a training module for their frontline associates. As a result, Forestdale Park’s staff across all departments have been trained on the importance of maintaining a welcoming and inclusive community, with special emphasis on the unique challenges that the aging LGBTQ population faces. Completing this training is a key step toward the Senior Living community’s goal of building a welcoming environment of support and acceptance for LGBTQ residents and celebrating all aspects of their identities.

SAGECare’s education also extends to the community’s workplace culture, as practicing the values of acceptance and inclusivity can empower staff to celebrate their own unique identities. Forestdale Park Executive Director Terri Guenard is excited to work these new practices into daily life at the community. “The education SAGECare has given us is so valuable, and what we’ve learned has really helped us gain a deeper understanding of the issues and concerns that LGBTQ seniors face. We are committed to using what we’ve learned to foster an even more inclusive and welcoming community for everyone.” It is estimated that there are currently around three million LGBTQ older adults in the United States, and that number is expected to grow to around seven million by 2030 (SAGECare).

His days and nights of dominating the Amerige hoop court, a distant (but still vivid) memory (just ask him). His days debating cultural, social and political issues at the A.O.H. on Charles Street are, at best (thankfully for fellow members), limited. His days of being the center of attention, although not technically over, lessened dramatically over the years (new knees, repaired shoulders, domestic bliss). But make no mistake, “Choff ” is far from done with his present-day mortal coil. He’s Cliff Cioffi . He’s 70 years old, and if he had his druthers, he would torture us for another 70 years! He burst into our lives in the summer of ’71 just as Rod Stewart’s “Maggie May” began climbing the charts. Hasn’t been a day since that fateful moment that something Choff pontifi cated on doesn’t enter our consciousness (haunt us?). His core belief system unchanged through the years – proudly wearing his liberal freak fl ag even when it was a clear and present danger to do so – his musical taste, always two steps ahead of any trend. His instinctual ability to bring people together and get the party started? Unmatched in the history of Amerige and Devir Park. Cliff is special in so many ways. Those that know him understand what I speak of. At times obstinate (like his siblings) – at times overopinionated – on occasion, a tad overbearing. But he wouldn’t be “Choff ” if he weren’t. Again, those who know him love him unconditionally. Role model, mentor, Rabbi, friend; all the above and more. Choff lives life his way. Never a dull moment in his entire glorious life.

Here I combine the old with the new to revisit his short but sweet life: I miss my dear friend, the original renaissance man himself, the late Steve Powell. Very, very hard to believe we have been without him for all these years. He would have just loved today’s technology, today’s music, today’s Malden, today’s weed! Steve passed away unexpectedly on May 22, 1999 – leaving behind too many people who loved him to count. Eccentric, unconventional, gifted with a killer smile – he certainly was all those things plus one of the purest athletes Malden ever produced to boot. His induction into the MHS Sports Hall of Fame was a no-brainer. He was just so good. Steve had an inexhaustible joie de vivre – talented with a terrifi c sense of humor and a remarkable appreciation for the healing powers derived from the simple pleasures of life. His travels around the world are stuff of legend. I discovered a postcard he had sent me in 1991 while he was “vacationing” in Malaysia.

So grim that a major federal agency, the Federal Transit Administration, began a major safety audit of the entire MBTA system, releasing some of its findings recently. An unsafe MBTA with potentially failing infrastructure is unacceptable to everyone who rides in the system. When a federal agency questions specific safety aspects and insists on a response, the MBTA must answer. The response, announced by Governor Charlie Baker and top “T” officials at a news conference at Medford’s Orange Line Wellington Station last week, was both unique and historic. It was also quite scary to the 200,000-plus riders of the over 120-year-old Orange Line – CIOFFI | FROM PAGE 8 of the last in the world, that he trekked three hours into the forest and was so tired he “almost croaked” due to the humidity. He was looking forward to getting back to the camp because which stretches north to the final stop at Oak Grove Station on the Malden-Melrose line, and south to Forest Hills Station in Jamaica Plain. Gov. Baker announced the MBTA would be completely shutting down the Orange Line... from midnight Friday, August 19 through September 19 – a full month! Badly needed track and safety light repairs were coming, and the decision was made to have full, unimpeded access to both lines from August 19–September 19, rather than shut it down for months of weekends and do the repairs on a more piecemeal basis. Immediately, the strongly worded expressions of dismay and outrage poured in. Locally? A much more pragmatic and measured response from the two Mayors whose communities will be most heavily affected by the Orange Line they “stocked cold beer” – but he was going to hold off on a birthday adventure up some mountain because he was “way outta shape.” I doubt that you were ever out of shape, Steve. Here is my favorite Steve Powell story: I ran into the shutdown: Malden’s Gary Christenson and Everett’s Carlo DeMaria. Of course, they were dismayed by the stunning news about the Orange Line. How could they not be? Malden has no less than two Orange Line stations, Malden Center being within a stone’s throw of Christenson’s downtown office. Instead of joining the boobird chorus when the move was announced last week, Mayor Christenson immediately began working to identify ways to both inform Malden’s citizens on the news and at the same time, to mitigate the effect – if possible – on these residents. Mayor DeMaria began working in similar fashion in Everett. This is how true leaders respond to crises, and Malden and Everett residents are fortunate to have such experienced ones at the helm of their communities.

We hope that this closure will allow the time needed for the comprehensive repairs and upgrades necessary to restore safety, efficiency, and confidence in the Orange Line. “Cutting service hurts us all, but it especially hurts people in the communities most impacted by both the pandemic and recent service cuts.” The Metroapartment in the North End for a “night cap.” He introduced me to his cat “Bella” and explained how he inherited the cat with the apartment. The landlord insisted that if he wanted the place, he had to take the 20plus pound feline that the previous owner left behind when she passed on. No problem. Classic Steve Powell! Steve’s sister Katie was kind enough to reminisce about her beloved big brother: “Steve loved life, a bit too much. He loved people and did everything he could to listen and learn about them from all around the world and people of all walks of life. He never judged anyone and based his opinions only by his own experiences. “Europe and Asia were his favorite places to visit. He traveled by backpack, moped, and hitchhiked. He loved small villages and learning about the natives and their way of life, eating their exotic foods, and experimenting with homemade drink. “I don’t think there has been – or will be – anyone like Steve. He fought for the underdog and didn’t mind telling you what he thought about you if he believed you were a bully. Steve was smart, school was too easy. He was in major works and honor classes. He would engage people in philosophical discussions and had the ability to persuade anyone to his side. He took risks...he wasn’t afraid to try new things...unfortunately, that wasn’t always the smart thing to do. “A couple of stories.... he was backpacking through some small village somewhere in Europe or Asia with his friend, Mike. They were dirty and hadn’t bathed for quite some time. They came across a small, poor excuse for a car wash. Steve politan Mayors Coalition’s full statement also appears in this week’s Advocate. It is not going to be easy or pleasant for anyone who relies on the Orange Line to go to work, visit a relative or to go to classes when high schools and colleges reopen for a new academic year in a couple of weeks. But at least the “T” is doing something comprehensive – and expensive – in an attempt to cure its service ills. It is encouraging to see our cities’ leaders taking the proverbial “bull by the horns” and closely monitoring the situation to try and determine how their constituents are going to get from Point A to Point B as efficiently and quickly as possible. In a year where the summer feels as if it is passing with the blink of an eye, let us hope this next month of no Orange Line does the same. went through it totally naked. When he came out the other side, there were a bunch of village women and men astonished. Needless to say, he was invited for dinner and stayed with one of the families for a short period. “Steve was rebel, and impertinent (at times) ...during his high school years, a coach told him not to step foot on the Macdonald Stadium turf (probably Mr. Duffy), so Steve did a handstand and walked to the other side of the field, on his hands!” “Steve literally had a million stories. Sad that he cannot share them with us. His relentless pursuit of that next adventure, that next high caught up with him in 1999. His friends, his family, and the community at large are poorer for that.” Postscript 1: From 1979’s “London Calling,” an album that mirrored Steve’s life philosophy; a line from “Clampdown” offered up by one of his muses, Joe Strummer: “You don’t owe nothing, so boy get running / It’s the best years of your life they want to steal.” Postscript 2: You gifted Black Flags’ “Damaged” to me back in ’92, Steve. It’s displayed in my hallway. I think of you every time I walk by it. Postscript 3: Steve played on one of Choff’s star-studded hoop teams in the Melrose League many years ago. Choff stacked his squad with ringers like he did every year. Steve fit in nicely as they dominated the league including big wins over archrival Melrose’s (in)famous Barrett and Johnson brothers.

Speaker Clark celebrates passage of historic legislation to lower health care costs, tackle climate crisis and build stronger, green economy O n August 12, Assistant Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Katherine Clark (Fifth District of Massachusetts) celebrated the House’s passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The legislation lowers health care and energy costs for families by capping the out-of-pocket cost of prescription drugs through Medicare, reducing health insurance premiums and creating new clean energy tax credits and incentives. The Inflation Reduction Act is the largest investment in fighting climate change in Congressional history. It is fully paid for by ensuring that the very wealthiest Americans and corporations pay their fair share in taxes. The legislation will also reduce the deficit by more than $300 billion. “Democrats are lowering costs for everyday Americans while rebuilding a stronger, greener economy,” said Assistant Speaker Clark. “Seniors won’t have to choose between putting food on the table and paying for lifesaving prescriptions. More families will be able to afford health care, and fewer Americans will be uninsured. Homes and cars will be cheaper and greener. This legislation is a game changer for working families and seniors, our planet, and our future, and I am thrilled that it’s on its way to President Biden’s desk.” The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will: Expand accessibility and affordability of health care • Extends health insurance premium tax credits, saving 13 million Americans an average of $800 a year and preventing three million people from becoming uninsured •Empowers Medicare to negotiate directly for the price of prescription drugs in 2023 for America’s 64 million enrollees •Reduces the cost of insulin to $35/month for Medicare patients •Caps Medicare patients’ out-ofpocket costs at $2,000 per year, with the option to break that amount into affordable monthly payments •Institutes a new “inflation rebate” under Medicare so drug companies can’t take arbitrary and unjustified price increases on products that are not changing year to year; also requires drug companies to rebate the difference to Medicare if they raise prices higher than inflation •Puts more financial responsibility on insurance and drug companies to keep prices down by putting them on the hook for higher drug prices and spending •Stabilizes Part D premiums for seniors in Medicare by holding • $9 billion in consumer home energy rebate programs – focused on low-income consumers – to electrify home appliances and for energy efficient retrofits • 10 years of consumer tax credits to make homes energy efficient and running on clean energy, making heat pumps, rooftop solar, electric HVAC and water heaters more affordable • $4,000 consumer tax credit for Representative Katherine Clark Assistant Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Fifth District of Massachusetts annual premium growth to existing levels so that insurers and manufacturers can’t pass their new financial responsibilities on to seniors •Provides free vaccines for seniors on Medicare •Closes the “rogue Secretary” loophole that would have allowed a “bad actor” Secretary to refuse to negotiate or negotiate fewer than the maximum number of drugs •Expands premium and co-pay assistance on prescription drugs for low-income individuals Tackle the climate crisis •Puts the United States on a path to roughly 40% carbon emissions reduction by 2030 •Lowers energy costs for Americans: low- and middle-income individuals to buy used, clean vehicles, and up to $7,500 tax credit to buy new, clean vehicles • $1 billion grant program to make affordable housing more energy efficient •Provides historic investments in American clean energy manufacturing: • $30 billion investment in production tax credits to accelerate U.S. manufacturing of solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and critical minerals processing • $10 billion investment tax credit to build clean technology manufacturing facilities, like facilities that make electric vehicles, wind turbines and solar panels • $500 million for the Defense Production Act for heat pumps and critical minerals processing • $2 billion in grants to retool existing auto manufacturing facilities to manufacture clean vehicles, ensuring that auto manufacturing jobs stay in the commuHEALTH | SEE PAGE 19 District 6 Governor's Councillor Terrence Kennedy said it was “one of my greatest moments as a member of the Governor’s Council to swear in the new clerk of the Malden District Court, Erica Colombo.

At a cost of only one to three percent (or even less than one percent in many cases) of an overall school’s budget, funding of high school activity programs produces some of the higher value per dollar of all school/municipal expenditures. It is in these sports and other extracurricular programs where young people learn lifelong lessons that complement the acCREDITORS AND RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS allow that spouse to gain access to a portion of the retirement account. The IRS would also have the ability to reach assets in a qualifi ed plan in order to seek recovery for back income taxes. Traditional IRA’s and Roth M any debtors are worried about a creditor’s ability to satisfy a judgment by attaching his or her retirement account. A qualified retirement account established pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) promulgated in 1974 are generally protected in full. These employer-sponsored retirement plans would include a 401K) plan, a 403(b) plan, a 457 plan, profi t-sharing plan, cash balance plan and other pension plans. It does not matter how much money you have in a qualified plan under ERISA. These accounts are even protected if you were to fi le for bankruptcy. There are situations where the assets might not be protected. For example, if you committed a crime, some of the assets might be vulnerable in order to reimburse the state that may have prosecuted you. A spouse in the context of a divorce would also have marital rights that would IRA’s are not protected by the federal government under ERISA. However, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) of 2005 provides federal protection to IRA accounts up to $1,362,800. Monies rolled over from an ERISA qualifi ed retirement plan into a “rollover” IRA account may not be subject to these limits. There are restrictions with respect to IRA contributions within the fi ve-year period prior to fi ling for bankruptcy that are in excess of 7% of your income. Also, it is important to note that “inherited” IRA’s are not protection assets. If you are not fi ling for bankruptcy, each state has its own limits as to how much in an IRA account would be protected from creditors. Be sure to consult with an attorney fully versed in creditor protection rights and bankruptcy law if you are unsure as to whether or not your qualified retirement account, IRA or SEP/ IRA account is protected.

From a cost standpoint, sports and other activity programs are an exceptional bargain when matched against the overall school district’s education budget. Examinations of various school districts’ budget information across the country reveal that activity programs make up very small percentages of school budgets.

In the Los Angeles, Calif., Unifi ed School District (the third largest school district in the national), activity programs received $7.3 million of the overall $7.7 billion budget for 201920, only one-tenth of one percent! In the Miami–Dade, Fla., School District (the fourth largest school district in the United States), its Board of Education had a 2019-20 overall budget of $5.45 billion, while setting aside $17.7 million for sports and all other activity programs, just over three-tenths of one percent. In all of these examples, the budget for school activity programs is less than one percent of the overall district’s budget. Considering the benefits, which are outlined below, at such small proportions of overall school district budgets, school activity programs are one of the most eff ective investments being made in secondary school education programs today.

The NFHS states: –We Believe– Student participation in education-based high school athletics and activities: • Is a privilege. • Enriches the educational experience. • Encourages academic achievement. • Promotes respect, integrity and sportsmanship. • Prepares for the future in a global community. • Develops leadership and life skills. • Fosters the inclusion of diverse populations. • Promotes healthy lifestyles and safe competition. • Encourages positive school/ community culture. • Should be fun. And it is far from being a budget-buster! In the long run, as it keeps students in school and working towards dreams and goal, it naturally makes the school budget-funded districts more effective and more successful.

The scholarship continues the legacy of the late Torres, who cofounded PSi and mentored administrators, teachers and other education professionals in Boston Public Schools and beyond. “I am grateful to be in this program because of the generous donations of those who were touched by Carmen Torres,” said DeRosa. “I feel so motivated to prove her mission in my own leadership and will forever carry her with me, even though I did not know her. She will never know how she is changing my life.” Hale’s staff , Torres’ family and PSi’s faculty, participants and alums celebrated DeRosa during a recent ceremony at Hale Education’s Andrew Cucchiara Learning Center. “Leanne’s commitment to equity and the arts is impressive, and we’re thrilled to have her join the Hale community through PSi,” said Hale Education Executive Director Eric Arnold. The Hale Foundation noted DeRosa’s “commitment to restorative justice and arts equity” and her wish to “[create] access to theatre in spaces where the arts have historically been diluted.” Her most recent eff orts earned her an opportunity to establish statewide Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) affi nity spaces with the Mass.

My 86-year-old mother will need either an assisted living facility or nursing home care in the near future, but she doesn’t have long-term care insurance and her savings are minimal. Searching Daughter Dear Searching, The cost of assisted living and nursing home care in the U.S is very expensive. According to the Genworth cost of care survey tool, the national median cost for an assisted living facility today is over $4,600 per month, while nursing home care runs more than $8,100 per month for a semi-private room. (See Genworth. com/aging-and-you/fi nances/cost-of-care.html to look up costs in your area.) Most people pay for long-term care (LTC) – which encompasses assisted living, nursing home and in-home care – with either personal funds, government programs or insurance. But if your mom is lacking in savings and has no LTC insurance to cover her costs, here are your best options to look for funding. Medicaid (not Medicare): The fi rst thing you need to know is that Medicare (the government health insurance program for seniors 65 and older and those with disabilities) does not cover long-term care. It only provides limited short-term coverage, up to 100 days for skilled nursing or rehabilitation services after a three-day hospital stay. Medicaid, however, (the joint federal and state program that covers health care for the poor) does cover nursing home and inhome care. But to be eligible for coverage, your mother must be very low-income. Her countable assets can’t be more than around $2,000, including investments. (Note that most people who enter a nursing home don’t qualify for Medicaid at fi rst but pay for care out-of-pocket until they deplete their savings enough to qualify.) There are also many states that now have Medicaid waver programs that can help pay for assisted living. To get more information on Medicaid coverage and eligibility, call your state Medicaid offi ce (see Medicaid.gov). You can also check your mom’s Medicaid eligibility at MedicaidPlanningAssistance.org. Veterans benefi ts: If your mom is a wartime veteran, or a spouse or surviving spouse of a wartime veteran, there is a benefi t called Aid and Attendance that can help pay toward her longterm care. To be eligible, your mom must need assistance with daily living activities like bathing, dressing or going to the bathroom. And her yearly income must be under $15,816 as a surviving spouse, or $24,610 for a single veteran – after her medical and long-term care expenses. Her assets must also be less than $138,489 excluding her home and car. To learn more, see VA.gov/geriatrics, or contact your regional VA offi ce, or your local veterans service organization. Call 800-8271000 for contact information. Life insurance: If your mom has a life insurance policy, fi nd out if it off ers an accelerated death benefi t that would allow her to get a tax-free advance to help pay for her care. Or consider selling her policy to a life settlement company. These are companies that buy life insurance policies for cash, continue to pay the premiums and collect the death benefi t when she dies. Most sellers generally get four to eight times more than the policy cash surrender value. If she owns a policy with a face value of $100,000 or more and is interested in this option, get quotes from several brokers or life settlement providers. To locate some, use the Life Insurance Settlement Association member directory at LISA.org.

Malden has the third-highest ratio of Asian Americans in Massachusetts to total population, percentagewise, with 25.9%, behind only Lexington (33%) and Quincy (30.9%), according to the 2020 U.S. Census. Malden also has the fi fth-highest numerical population of Asian Americans in Massachusetts with 17,151. Boston itself has a large Asian American population with just over 76,000 residents, about 11% overall. In a letter presented on Tuesday to MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak, Boston-based city and state politicians urged the MBTA to reconsider its plans to exclude both Chinatown and Tufts Medical Center Stations from the shuttle bus route during the 30-day shutdown that begins on Friday. The letter, which was signed by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Boston City Council President Ed Flynn, State Senators Nick Collins and Lydia Edwards and State Representative Aaron Michlewitz, asked that at least one of the two Chinatown stops be included in the T’s alternate transit plan for the Orange Line shutdown. In the letter it is stated, “The Chinatown T stop is always widely used, particularly for seniors and workers in Chinatown, and the lack of shuttle bus stops at either Tufts Medical Center or Chinatown will make travel extremely difficult for residents and workers in the area.” The letter goes on to explain that many residents in the neighborhood, which includes a large immigrant population, most of whom do not own or have access to a motor vehicle, use the T to get to and from Chinatown. Also, many people, including those who live in the area, use the Orange Line to go to Tufts Medical Center. The alternate transit plan for that area encourages MBTA riders to use either the Green Line or the Silver Line (downtown Boston) bus service to navigate the routes while the Orange Line is shut down. Particularly, the Green Line Boylston Street stop is closest to the area and is one block away from the Orange Line stop. The Silver Line buses also run close by to those Orange Line stops. The Boston politicians expressed concerns that the immigrant population with limited English-speaking skills might have a lot of diffi culty with the changes and shutdown, adding that a top priority should be translation of any informational materials into Chinese. ׉ 7cassandra://tct_wEjl0zz6jmpddq88oHcYNzgDaltrUh0kUxAeRh8 `̰cᒆ5v׉E 'THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 19, 2022 Page 19 HEALTH | FROM PAGE 11 nities that depend on them •Invests in decarbonizing all sectors of the economy through targeted federal support of innovative climate solutions •Focuses investments into disadvantaged communities to ensure that communities that are too often left behind will share in the benefi ts of the transition to a clean economy •Supports resilient rural communities: • $20 billion for farmers and forestland owners to be part of growing climate solutions, and by ensuring rural communities can better adapt to a rapidly changing climate • $14 billion to lower costs for families and support good-paying clean energy jobs in rural communities, including support for rural electric cooperatives in the transition to cleaner energy •$5 billion to protect communities from wildfi res while combating the climate crisis and supporting the workforce through climate-smart forestry Lower the defi cit •Imposes a 15% Corporate Minimum Tax to ensure corporations simply pay their fair share of taxes •Imposes a 1% excise tax on the repurchase of stock by publicly traded companies •Invests in rebuilding the Internal Revenue Service to go after giant corporations and the very wealthiest cheating on their taxes •Reduces the defi cit by more than $300 billion through revenue-raising provisions •Imposes no new taxes on small businesses or families making less than $400,000 Your Hometown News Delivered!
