The board’s recommendation will now return to the City Council, which will make the fi - nal decision on the change to the zoning ordinance. A twothirds majority vote of the council is required. Ward 5 Councillor Barbara T Murphy sponsored the proposal for the height restriction after an earlier proposal to limit residential buildings to six stories failed to win the support of two-thirds of the City Council last year. Murphy said the concern was that Jeff erson Apartment Group’s new development exceeded the proposed six-story limit because of the grade on the Exchange Street side of the project. The proposed limit would have created a batch of existing, nonconforming units. Murphy reworked the proposal to cover the new building and presented it again this week at a joint public hearing of the Planning Board and the City Council’s Ordinance Committee. The Planning Board will review applications for buildings of up to six stories while the City Council will make decisions on projects greater than six stories but limited to seven. “The majority of the citizens of Malden want to see this happen,” said Murphy, who cited results of the recent Growth BUILDINGS | SEE PAGE 10

Organized by Malden Public Library and Malden Access Television, the program encourages everyone in Malden to read the same book and share their responses at different scheduled discussions, events, or just over lunch. This year’s book, by New York Times bestselling author Lisa See, traces the experiences of a woman who becomes a tea master in China’s remote southwestern tea region along with the story of her daughter who is given up for adoption and raised in California. The novel has been praised for its exploration of family ties and its detailed description of the tea trade. Caron Guigli, assistant director of Malden Public Library said See’s novel delves into themes such as progress, relationships between mothers and daughters and what it means to belong. Guigli said the novel was a good fi t for a community as richly diverse as Malden. “’The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane has won particular praise for its in-depth look at traditional Chinse culture,” she said. Throughout the upcoming year, Malden reads will host a variety of community activities including calligraphy demonstrations, tea tastings, storytelling and conversations about family and cultural histories. The organization welcomes ideas for events from other community groups. Now in its ninth year, the Malden Reads, One City, One Book program has continued o expand and draw new readers into its orbit. Anne D’Urso of MATV said the program’s goals are to promote literacy and encourage a love of reading. “Our program fi nds new ways to continue to connect people to each other, to organizations, to businesses and to new ideas and perspectives,” she said.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE - Friday, January 11, 2019 Golden Tornadoes swim team wins two By Steve Freker T hey certainly jumped back into the pool in strong fashion after a lengthy layoff with no signs of rust whatsoever. The Malden High School (MHS) Tornadoes co-ed swim team went nearly two weeks without a meet but was running on all cylinders this past week with pair of exciting wins to go to 4-1 on the season. Malden greeted the New Year with a thrilling, down-to-the-lastminute, 92-91 victory over visiting Peabody in a key Northeastern Conference (NEC) meet at the MHS Pool on January 3. On Tuesday this week, the Tornadoes squad topped visiting Danvers, 98-80. Ochoa, Lombardi and Wang lead Malden past Peabody, 92-91 Kevin Ochoa (200 freestyle, 100 butterfl y), David Lombardi (200 individual medley, 100 backstroke) and Haoxi Wang (50 freestyle, 100 freestyle) all won two events in a 92-91 win over Peabody that came down to the very last event. Malden also won two relays, and fi rstplace finishes proved to be of ultimate importance since Peabody finished in second Revere-Malden co-op hockey team doubles up Everett for fi rst win By Joe McConnell T he Revere-Malden boys’ co-op hockey team (1-3 in the Northeastern Conference South Division, 1-7-1 overall) got a much needed win on Wednesday night, Jan. 9, when they doubled up Everett to the tune of 8-4 at the Cronin Rink. The win came after a 6-2 loss to Gloucester last Saturday. “We hung in there against a really good club [Gloucester], and it shows we are making some progress in each game,” said coach Joe Ciccarello. The Fishermen led after one period by only a 1-0 count. But a couple of Gloucester power play goals turned this game around in their favor rather quickly. “Overall, we are making better decisions, and we’re not turning the puck over, but we still have to fi nd a way to stay out of the [penalty] box,” said Ciccarello. The veteran Revere coach knows that the team can’t afford being shorthanded, because of its lack of depth. As a result of those inopportune penalties, the Gloucester boys took a 4-1 lead into the third period. Zach Rufo netted the fi rst Revere goal in the Gloucester game from Wayne Cintolo. Ricky Briana netted the team’s third period tally assisted by Cintolo. HOCKEY | SEE PAGE 9 and third place in most of the events where the Tornadoes fi nished on top. Malden trailed by a point, 85-84, after Chloe Akombi (1:12.12) won the 100 breaststroke. The Tornadoes then needed a win in the fi nal event of the day, the 400 freestyle relay... and got it. Ochoa, Wang and Lombardi were joined by Abby Tang in putting up a 3:48.5 fi nish and sealing the meet victory for Malden. Peabody took second and third in the event, so anything less than a fi rst-place fi nish would have sunk Malden. “It was a great eff ort for our swimmers in that event, especially considering the pressure on us to win the last event,” MHS assistant coach Jessica Bisson said. Longtime head coach Paul DeVincentis heads up the Tornadoes swim team coaching staff . Malden got off to a good start with a win in the 200 freestyle relay, paced by a 1:49.37 time by the team of Lombardi, Akombi, Ochoa and Wang. Ochoa won the 200 free at 1:55.70 and Malden’s Joanne Ho (2:27.44) placed second. Lombardi (2:10.91) and Sebastian Romani (2:35) went 1-2 in the 200 IM for Malden, and Wang’s 23.88 seconds outpaced Peabody in the 50 free sprint. Malden relinquished 1-2-3 in diving (with no facility for it at the MHS Pool) but rebounded with Ochoa’s 55.0 seconds fl at win in the 100 fl y. Wang won the 100 free with a time of 53.63 seconds. Peabody took fi rst in the next two events, but Malden kept pace when Akombi (5:62.6) fi nished second in the 500 free MHS senior Kevin Ochoa is congratulated after his win in the 200 freestyle event in the Golden Tornadoes meet victory over Danvers on Tuesday. (Courtesy Photo/Malden HS Athletics) and Ryan Vasili was third. Also important was Malden’s second-place fi nish in the 200 freestyle relay, with Joanne Ho, Luis Gilbert, Vasili and Akombi at 1:56.09. Lombardi won the 100 backstroke at 59.06 seconds to bring Malden down just a point at 77-76, and Akombi’s win in the 100 breast set up the dramatic fi nal event and meet win. Malden wins two in a row with 98-80 victory over Danvers Host Malden won nine events in a 98-80 win at the MHS Pool over visiting Danvers in an NEC meet. Kevin Ochoa won the 200 free (1:55.10) and 100 butterfly (54.5 seconds) and was part of the winning 200 medley relay (1:48.25) with David Lombardi, Tony Giech and Haoxi Wang. Ochoa was also part of the winning 200 free relay (1:38.06} with Lombardi, Geich and Wang. Lombardi won the 200 IM at 2:09.31 and the 100 backstroke at 58.41 seconds. Wang won the 100 freestyle at 53.12 seconds, and Giech won the 100 breast at 1:07.56. The relay team of Abby Tang, Chloe Akombi, Sebastian Romani and Luis Gilbert placed third in the 200 medley relay at 2:07.44. Kevin Sotheparnehaisit was third in the 200 free at 2:11.22. Geich was second in the 200 IM at 2:15.75. Wang was second in the 50 free at 27.22 seconds. Vasili placed third in the 500 free at 5:52. The relay of Gilbert, Tony Luu, Vasili and Romani was third in the 200 free relay at 1:58.05. Sothparnehaisit was third in the 100 backstroke at 1:01.45. Akombi was second in the 100 breaststroke at 1:12.59. The Malden swim team is back in action on Tuesday, January 15 on the road at Gloucester.

Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE - Friday, January 11, 2019 by Can You Deduct Medicare Costs on Your Income Taxes? Dear Savvy Senior, Can I deduct my Medicare premiums, deductibles and copayments on my income taxes? I had a knee replacement surgery last year and spent quite a bit on medical care out-of-pocket and would like to know what all I can write off . Frugal Dave Dear Dave, The short answer is yes, you can deduct your Medicare costs but only if you meet certain conditions required by the IRS. Here’s how it works. As a taxpayer, you’re allowed to deduct many medical and dental expenses as well as your Medicare outof-pocket costs. But you can deduct only those expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of your 2018 adjusted gross income (AGI), and you’ll also need to itemize your deductions. Next year, (2019 tax season) the threshold will rise to 10 percent. Here’s an example. Let’s say that your AGI in 2018 was $50,000. Of that, 7.5 percent is $3,750. If your total allowable medical expenses last year were $8,000, you’d be able to deduct $4,250 ($8,000 minus $3,750). But, if your medical expenses were less than $3,750, you couldn’t claim any as a deduction. You also need to understand that when taking a medical expense deduction, you don’t actually get back every dollar you claim. While a tax credit reduces your taxes dollar-for-dollar, tax deductions simply reduce your taxable income, and your savings ultimately depend on the eff ective rate at which you’re taxed. So, for example, if you qualify for a $4,250 deduction and your eff ective tax rate is 22 percent, you would get $935 in savings from that particular deduction. To get this deduction you will need to fi le an itemized Schedule A (1040) tax return. You cannot claim medical expenses on Form 1040A or Form 1040EZ. Allowable Medical Expenses The list of allowable medical expenses, as defi ned by the IRS, is long and fairly fl exible. As a Medicare beneficiary, you can deduct your monthly premiums for Part B, Part C (Medicare Advantage plans), Part D drug plans, and any supplemental (Medigap) insurance you have. If you have to pay a premium for Part A, that’s allowed too. You can also deduct the cost of all your deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments under Medicare. In addition, you’re also allowed to deduct the cost of medical services not covered by Medicare, including dental treatment, vision care, prescription eyeglasses, hearing aids, and even longterm care. They also allow transportation to and from medical treatment to count as an eligible medical expense. And if necessary, you may even be able to deduct home alterations and equipment, like entrance ramps, grab bars, stair lifts etc., that can help you age in place. Some things, however, you cannot deduct like vitamins and supplements unless recommended by a physician to treat a specifi c medical condition. And Medicare late penalties added to Part B or Part D premiums. Medicare benefi ciaries who fail to sign up during their initial enrollment period are typically hit with a penalty that gets added to their monthly premiums, but these additional costs won’t count for tax purposes. For more information, including a detailed rundown of allowable and unallowable medical expenses, see IRS Publication 502 “Medical and Dental Expenses” at IRS.gov/ pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf or call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a copy.

Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen HOUSE RE-ELECTS DELEO AS SPEAKER House 120-31, re-elected Rep. Bob DeLeo (D-Winthrop) to a sixth term as speaker of the House. Rep. Bradley Jones (R-North Reading) received the votes of 31 of the 32 Republicans and was re-elected GOP minority leader. Rep. Shaunna O’Connell (R-Taunton) was absent. DeLeo received the votes of 119 of the 128 Democrats. One Democratic representative was absent and eight opted not to cast a vote for speaker and voted “present.” That list included returning Reps. Jonathan Hecht, Russell Holmes (D-Boston), John Rogers D-Norwood) and Angelo Scaccia (D-Boston); along with freshmen Reps. Tami Gouvieia (D-Acton), Nik Elugardo (D-Boston), Patrick Kearney (D-Scituate) and Maria Robinson (D-Framingham). Earlier in the day at a Democratic caucus, Robinson proposed an amendment that the speaker be elected by secret ballot rather than the current system of a recorded roll call vote. Ironically, the proposal was defeated on an unredorded voice vote. Holmes, Hecht, Elugardo and Kearney of spoke in favor of Robinson’s amendment. Supporters of the secret ballot said members should be able to cast a vote without worrying about the next speaker knowing that he or she voted against the him or her. They noted that they were all elected by their local voters who voted in secret. Robinson said she wanted to ensure that House lawmakers would be independent. “And it is diffi cult to have independence when you do not have a private ballot for one of the most important roles,” she said. Opponents said an open ballot makes the House more transparent. They said voters deserve to hear where their elected representative voted on every matter, including the election of the most powerful man in the House. To go to a secret ballot defi es a republic,” said Rep. Tackey Chan (D-Boston). Beacon Hill Roll Call made repeated attempts to get a comment from all eight members who voted “present.” Only Reps. Holmes, Elugardo, John Rogers, Gouvieia, Kearney and Hecht responded. We did not get a response from Reps.Scaccia and Robinson. “My constituents, many of whom are people of color, have made it clear that I should not continue to prop up an institution that does not listen to it or show it the respect that our voting records deserve,” said Rep. Holmes. “The House of Representatives is run by Democrats. However, the leadership and its goals does not have as its highest priority the desires of its most reliable voting constituency. We should be focused on eliminating the gaps between unemployment rates and income of people of color and whites, passing foundation budget and immigration reform, and pushing forward with eliminating violence in our community by solving unsolved murders. This is why I hear over and over again in my district that folks supported Gov. Baker at unexpected levels. He has been in the district many times and listens, values and respects our perspective as reforms are rolled out from his administration.” “I voted present because I believe we need a new direction in the House,” said Rep. Hecht. “We need to make the House truly democratic by opening up the lawmaking process and giving an equal voice to all members and the communities they represent.” “I would only vote for a candidate who would make a public statement about their vision for reforming House culture and House Rules, and in the absence of such a statement by any candidate I would have to vote ‘present,’” said Rep. Elugardo. “Any statement acknowledging the need to assess and address a culture of fear that is choking, for some reps, their ability to ask for roll calls and to call for reforms that increase transparency and robust debate would have suffi ced. But to my knowledge at the time of voting none was presented to the members.” I voted “present” today to be consistent with my long held belief in term limits for the offi ce of speaker of the House,’ said John Rogers. “Indeed, the gentleman from Winthrop [Speaker Bob DeLeo] and I years ago both ran for speaker advocating for term limits forsSpeaker. Although I support his right to change his mind, I remain resolute in the fundamental belief in this necessary limit on the powers of the offi ce of speaker.” Here’s how local representatives voted: Rep. Paul Donato Voted for DeLeo Rep. Steven Ultrino Voted for DeLeo SENATE RE-ELECTS SPILKA AS SENATE PRESIDENT Senate 34-6, re-elected Sen. Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) as Senate President. Spilka received the votes of 33 of the chamber’s 34 Democrats. Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy) was absent. Sen.

Jason Lewis Voted for Spilka HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions 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 December 31-January 4. the House met for a total of 19 hours and one minute while the Senate met for a total of 26 hours and 17 minutes. Mon.

The successful candidate would provide general administrative and clerical support and possess the following qualifications: Malden High senior Robens Garcia lines up for a free throw against Swampscott in a Tornado win recently. (Courtesy/Malden High Athletics) By Steve Freker A fter a string of solid performances, the Malden High boys basketball squad dropped a clunker on the road to a potential MIAA State Tournament berth, falling 65-46 to visiting Medford High Tuesday night, January 8. Medford led by a basket after the fi rst quarter, 18-15, but exploded for a 23-11 second quarter to post a 41-26 lead at the halftime break. Turnovers by Malden led to a number of Medford points and on the other end of the court, the home team Tornado shots were not falling. "We did not take care of the ball as well as we have to and we have to play much better defense if we expect to win in this league," Malden High HOCKEY | FROM PAGE 6 Sophomore goalie J.T. Bowdridge played perhaps his best game yet in his young varsity career after making 35 stops, according to Ciccarello. “He definitely kept us in this game,” he said afterwards. “He’s playing really well for us.” The Revere offense then got rolling in the Everett game with fi ve unanswered goals in the first period to take a commanding lead after one, 5-0. “We kinda fell asleep in the second period, when Everett scored twice, before picking it back up in the third,” Ciccarello said. Senior Cam Mazza on solo eff orts and Briana paced the head coach Don Nally said of the stacked Northeastern Conference (NEC), as both former Greater Boston League charter members Malden and Medford now compete in the NEC. Malden stayed even with Medford in the third quarter, backed by the scoring and rebounding of senior captain Christian Monahan-Dasilva, who led Malden with 12 points and 10 rebounds, but the Tornado team still trailed 51-36 after three quarters. The home team could not gain any more ground in the fourth quarter as Medford pulled away for good. Malden juniors Cameron Lloyd and David Mervilus each has 10 points for Malden. Malden evened out at 4-4 overall (1-3 NEC) with the loss while Medford won its fourth straight game to improve to 6-2. offensive attack with two goals apiece. Freshman Alexio Trichilo lit the lamp for the fi rst time in his varsity career in this game to go along with other single markers from junior Joe Papasodora, Rufo and Cintolo. Rufo and Cintolo led the team in assists with two each after setting up their line-mate Briana’s goals. Bowdridge played the fi rst two periods in net before classmate Christian Goroshko took over between the pipes in the third. The Patriots will now welcome the Lynn Jets to Cronin Rink on Saturday for a 5 p.m. game. They will then head to Everett for a rematch with the Crimson Tide on Wednesday night, Jan. 16, starting at 7 p.m. Mervilus and Lloyd lead Malden past Swampscott on the road, 63-58 Juniors David Mervilus and Cameron Lloyd each scored 13 points to lead Malden past Swampscott on the road, 63-58. Senior Robens Garcia added 12 points for Malden. Jackson Byrne lit it up for Swampscott with a gamehigh 27 points, including six three-pointers. "We played a good game allaround and spread out our scoring," Coach Nally said. "Their shooter (Byrne) stayed hot all night and kept them close but we shot the ball well in the second half and played decent defense." ***** BASKETBALL | FROM PAGE 9 Salary • Great communication skills, both verbal and written. • Extremely organized, detail oriented and results-driven. • Self-starter able to follow through on given tasks, including research. • Ability to perform multiple tasks. • Computer literacy with a proficiency in Microsoft Office, Microsoft Outlook and PowerPoint. preferred.

Page 10 BUILDINGS | FROM PAGE 1 Management Study and a citywide survey on Malden’s growth and development trends. “I hope you recognize what our residents want,” she added. Former City Councillor Neil Kinnon presented a slew of information on the fi nancial aspects of residential development and its impact on city budgets and services. Kinnon said taller buildings create risks for the city’s fi re department. He also said that towers of market-rate apartments have changed the city’s economic profi le and limited increases in state aid for city schools. Local resident Jon Maiara, who many know for his work recording and posting videos of city meetings, spoke against the seven-story limit. Maiara said the explosive cost in housing was due in part to community resistance to building anything new. “Rather than say we don’t want more than seven stories, we should look at each project,” he said. Although they have voted against recommending height restrictions in the past, Planning Board members supported Murphy’s proposal. “I favor this,” said Planning Board Chairman Charles Loven. “It’s the right thing to do.” - HELP WANTED - EXPERIENCED AUTO MECHANIC Full-time Auto Mechanic with minimum of 3 years experience wanted.
