president, but they have been elected in a row. “It’s an impressive feat, and I support you all the way,� said Spadafora.

Other councillors also expressed their faith in Sica and her ability to lead the council. “I know you are going to be an incredible president, and I’m really looking forward to it,� said Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy.

Ward 3 Councillor John Matheson was one of several veteran members of the council who offered to help Sica as she steps into her leadership role. “You have our full confidence and I’m sure you’ll do a great job,� he added.

Jadeane Sica 2019 Council President “We have some big things happening in 2019, and I’m proud to be able to serve as council president during this time,� said Sica. “As council president, I see my role as one of fostering open and respectful dialogue with the recognized need to achieve results that move this city forward. It’s going to be a great year, and I can’t wait to get started.�

The support for Sica and the votes to elect her came quickly from fellow councillors; many of them have served with her since she was first elected to represent Ward 8 back in 2013. “Good luck, it’s not an easy job,� said Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora, who pointed out that with Sica’s election every woman on the council has not only been elected

Santa Claus makes his annual visit to Pine Banks City Councillors fear Lawrence Memorial will close

By Barbara Taormina or the second week in a row, City Councillors raised concerns about changes at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Medford and urged residents to attend an upcoming Department of Public Health hearing on plans to close the hospital’s emergency room.

Last week councillors agreed to ask Sue Sandberg, CEO of MelroseWakefield Healthcare, for an update on the plans for Lawrence Memorial. This week councillors took a more direct approach in engaging Malden residents who depend on Lawrence Memorial.

MelroseWakefield Healthcare, formerly Hallmark Health, operates several area medical facilities, including Lawrence Memorial and MelroseWakefield Hospitals. In November the organization, which also owns the empty Malden Hospital building, announced plans to close the emergency room at Lawrence Memorial and expand services and hours at the hospital’s urgent care center. “I want to make all residents aware that Hallmark Health is at it again,� said Ward 2 Coun-

cillor Paul Condon. “Twenty years ago, when Malden Hospital ended up closing, the way they did it was to close the emergency room. They were kind enough to open urgent care and expand their hours, which they knew would never fly, and as a result they ended up closing the hospital.�

Condon suggested that MelroseWakefield Healthcare is using the same plan to close Lawrence Memorial that was used to shut down Malden Hospital.

Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora suggested that local hospital history was repeating itself. Hallmark Health acquired Malden Hospital in 1997 and closed it in 1999. “The reason they didn’t close it initially was that they would have had to pay taxes on the property,� he said, adding that the healthcare organization received the biggest tax break in Malden’s history.

As for Lawrence Memorial, Spadafora said he knew for a fact that the plan is to close it. “There have been some staffing reductions down there,� he said. “I know some people who were working there, and they have been laid off in the past couple of weeks. My crys-

tal ball is telling me that they are going to close the hospital soon.�

Ward 3 Councillor John Matheson, who has been critical of Hallmark Health’s failure to find an appropriate use for the roughly 18-acre Malden Hospital site, offered some statistics about people who use Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Matheson said that from 2015

A Christmas Story

By Virginia Ruane

he holiday season is here.

The stores are advertising gift ideas. Car dealers are displaying the latest models, and the new Christmas shows are introduced. Everyone is interested and listening. It is a happy time.

Children are making out their lists for Santa. Others are thinking of what they want for Christmas and what they are giving to others. There are holiday parties, special church services, and family gatherings.

Decorations and bright colorful lights are glistening. Christmas is in the air.

As I look back on past Christmases, one stands out foremost in my mind. Even after 50-odd years, it still pulls at my heartstrings with a bit of regret. It is not tragic, but in the eyes of a mother, it is a bit sad and regretful. Most of our Christmas holidays were great, but this particular year was different.

It goes back to when my children were ages three, five and eight. Santa Claus was a great part of their lives, and they knew just what they wanted. My oldest son wrote down what he wanted. Let

me tell you, nothing on his list was cheap. One present he asked for was a bicycle.

My husband and I would have to think about that one. He had almost outgrown his old bike, but we felt it was good for another year. So, maybe next year.

My husband was talking with our neighbor and told him about the list and the desire for a bike. Our neighbor told him that he had a bicy-

cle that his son had outgrown, and it was in good condition.

If we wanted it, he was happy to give it to us for our eightyear-old son.

When we saw the bicycle, we were very pleased. Yes, it was in good condition. My husband thought with a little paint and polishing, he could make it look like new. Oh, Lord, I thought he was just not a good fixer-upper. But I just kept quiet and hoped for the best. We both felt good about the bike.

My husband enjoyed the challenge and looked forward to it.

He got out the paint and paint brush and the cleaning tools. We did buy a new bell and fancy handle grippers.

When it came time for the unveiling, the bike looked pretty good. My husband surprised me and did a great job. He was very proud of himself, and I was proud of him, too. My son will never know that it is second hand. Of course, we will never tell him.

On Christmas Day all my children enjoyed their toys, thank heavens. When at night, I tucked them all in bed, I hugged my older son and asked him how he liked his new bike. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, I liked it, Mom, but I wished it was a new one.â&#x20AC;?

Oh, No! My heart was broken. Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we buy him a new one, and make a sacrifice? I was always sorry we did not make that sacrifice. He was such a good kid. We will make it up to him next year.

And we did.

Just want you to know, this eight-year-old is now a grown man and very successful and has a brand new car. Whenever he buys a car, it must always be a new car â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no second hand car for him. I wonder why?

I guess he never forgot his Christmas bike. And neither did his mother.

Merry Christmas to all!

Malden School Committee accepts report keeping MHS start time the same

By Steve Freker here will be no changes made to the start time at Malden High School following a vote by the Malden School Committee at its final meeting of the calendar year on Monday. The members voted to accept the report of a nearly year-long study committee which recommended the existing time stay in place.

Malden High students are required to be in their homeroom by 7:45 a.m. with the first class beginning at 7:55 a.m. This start time has been in place for many years, and this is the first time in recent memory it has been formally studied for possible changes.

The impetus for the study came from a group of MHS students who this past February formulated a request to Superintendent John Oteri that high school start time be changed to be later than 7:45 a.m. The request came from students working in the Generation Citizen program, which

T

is coordinated by MHS teacher Michelle Filer. The Generation Citizen students made the request after citing studies they had researched which they said concluded teens and adolescents would benefit academically and socially if they had more sleep in the morning hours through a later school start time.

Supt. Oteri asked Malden Public Schools Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics Charlie Conefrey and Malden Education Association (MEA) President Deb Gesualdo to head up an ad hoc committee comprised of staff and students.

At Monday night’s meeting Conefrey and Gesualdo jointly delivered the final report of the committee, recommending the start time of 7:45 a.m. stand as is, with no changes.

“The committee recommends keeping the current start time after the many months we have spent conducting surveys and research on the issue,” Conefrey told the School

Committee, citing as a chief reason the effect a potential change to a later start time would have on students’ afterschool lives.

This would occur since a later school start time would in turn require a later school finish time. For instance, if school started 30 minutes later at 8:15 a.m., then school would end at 2:45 p.m. rather than the 2:15 p.m. at present.

“There are many Malden High School students who work at afterschool jobs who would be dramatically affected,” Conefrey said. “They would potentially be available to work fewer hours and the jobs themselves might be put in jeopardy for them if they had to change their availability due to later school hours.”

Gesualdo echoed Conefrey’s point and added, “A lot of these students have to work, since they are contributing in their families to help pay their household bills, such as groceries, electric power or rent.”

Conefrey also pointed out that later start times and later finish times would also affect students’ participation in athletics and extracurricular activities, and transportation times and sleep habits. Conefrey also said that, perhaps surprisingly, the surveys they coordinated showed that the wide majority of respondents advised either the same starting time or even an earlier starting time, perhaps 7:30 a.m., with a much

lower number of respondents backing a later start time.

In response to a question

by School Committee Chairman and Mayor Gary Christenson on what type of mandate the committee would require through surveys and research to recommend a later start time, both Conefrey and Gesualdo agreed it "would have had to be overwhelmingly behind another start time," which it was not.

Support local foster families this holiday season

By Representative Steven Ultrino s we get ready for the holidays and the season of gift giving, it is crucial that we take some time to think about people that may be less fortunate than us. Foster children are among our most vulnerable populations here in the Commonwealth, and foster care organizations are always in need of extra support. There is an endless list of nonprofit organizations who accept donations during this time of year, but I would like to take this opportunity to share how you can support local foster children and their families. You may donate your time to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) as a Volunteer Case Reviewer.

As required by Chapter 197 of the Massachusetts General Laws, each foster care case must be reviewed every 6 months by DCF. Case review panels include a member of the community, known as a Volunteer Case Reviewer, along

A

with a member of the DCF Foster Care Review Unit and an administrator from the DCF area office. Volunteer Case Reviewers have the ability to give an honest, independent and unbiased review of each case – a vital part of the entire review process.

Unfortunately, there are over 16,000 cases reviewed each year through DCF and not enough volunteers. Because foster children are placed all over the Commonwealth, every community is affected by this shortage. Please consider making a significant difference in the life of a child and create a bright future for the children of the Commonwealth by volunteering.

Each review session lasts about an hour and a half and is conducted at a local DCF area office. Reviews occur Monday through Friday during the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Volunteers participate in a pre-service training provided by the Foster Care Review Unit, with the expectation to serve for at

least one year.

If you are interested in participating and would like more information or have any questions, please contact my office at (617) 722-2460 or email me at Steven.Ultrino@mahouse. gov. Happy Holidays!

The Cyclones make Malden proud

Sica introduced the cheerleaders as the Malden Cyclones national champions. “Two weeks ago, the Malden Cyclones Junior Varsity level 3 small [squad] had the opportunity to go to Disney World to compete in the national championships for the Pop Warner,” Sica told the City Council and the audience at the senior center. “They came in first out of 14 [squads].”

Sica then presented the Cyclones a citation from the City Council which congratulated the squad and recognized the members for coming in first place and being crowned champs at the Pop Warner National Cheer & Dance Championships. The Cyclones then did a cheer for the City Council.

“That was tremendous, you should be so proud of yourselves,” City Council President

The City Council congratulates the Malden Cyclones Junior Varsity squad for achieving first place at the Pop Warner National Cheer & Dance Championships at Disney World.

By Barbara Taormina he Malden Cyclones Junior Varsity (B Squad) gave the city an early Christmas present this year.

Earlier this month, the squad traveled to Florida to compete in the Pop Warner National Cheerleading Championships. They came back with a huge trophy, a big banner and the bragging rights that belong to athletes who bring home a national title.

Malden’s Pop Warner family was thrilled with their victory, and this week the city had a chance to honor the squad. Before they left for Florida, one of the Cyclones’ biggest fans, Mayor Gary Christenson, promised the

cheerleaders the key to the city and a parade if they came back with a championship title. And on Tuesday night, Christenson made good on his promise. The Cyclones were invited to Christenson’s office, where they were awarded their key to the city on

a plaque that reads “Thank you for making our city proud.”

The squad then had a parade up Pleasant Street with a flashing blue police escort to the door of the senior center, so they could meet with the City Council.

Ward 8 Councillor Jadeane

Debbie DeMaria told the Cyclones. DeMaria said that years ago, she was a Pop Warner cheerleading coach of a squad that had also brought home a first-place title. “But this is the first since 1996, so great job,” she said.

Providing food for struggling neighbors "Under One Roof" erving more than 1 million meals per year, in spite of floods and other obstacles, Bread of Life continues to provide for some of our community's most vulnerable citizens.

That’s 1.5 million pounds of food to people in need through its five programs. Headquartered on Eastern Ave in Malden, Bread of Life depends upon churches and other nonprofit organizations to rent them space in which to provide meals for those who might not otherwise have enough to eat and feed their families.

One of the organizations from which Bread of Life rents space is the Salvation Army, which experienced a flood in late November sending Bread of Life scrambling to serve the people who come to them. Instead of a hot meal, they provided boxed sandwiches and distributed them out of their van in bitterly cold weather.

The news is not all bad how-

S

ever. As much as the water flooded their meal space, donations have been flooding the agency as well.

Bread of Life has recently announced a capital campaign to construct a new facility on Eastern Ave. that will bring its services "under one roof", the theme of the campaign. In so doing the agency will serve more people and do so much more efficiently. Already more than $1.4 Million has been raised in cash and pledges. Campaign advertising is underway with a 30 second spot appearing during television shows on several networks.

A recent community-wide direct mail solicitation effort is producing encouraging results.

Bread of Life is well on its way to campaign success. To make a charitable contribution you can contact Gabriella at 781475-9060 or contribute on-line at www.breadoflifemalden.org.

City Council supports proposed deposit on nips

By Barbara Taormina ity Councillors this week unanimously backed and passed a resolve to have the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative delegation pursue a new five-cent bottle deposit on nips, flasks and other miniature containers for alcohol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone who lives near a liquor store or package store knows that nips are pervasive in our community,â&#x20AC;? said Ward 4 Councillor Ryan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley, who sponsored the resolve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are thrown all over the street, the sidewalks, in our yards, and when it rains, they end up in our culverts, the Malden River and eventually in Boston Harbor.â&#x20AC;?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley, who has heard complaints about discarded nips from many residents, said the empty bottles are an ecological problem that compromises the cleanliness of the city. He stressed he is not seeking a ban on nips, but rather a five-cent deposit on the bottles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you find a million of these nips in your front yard like I do on Main Street, you can bring them to a liquor store and get five cents each for them,â&#x20AC;? he

C

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pretty effective with other bottles, and I think it will be effective here.â&#x20AC;?

Councillors were quick to jump on board with the idea.

Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy was the first to ask Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley if she could be added as a cosponsor of the resolve, and ultimately it was decided that the entire council would sponsor the request to Maldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state lawmakers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I constantly have nip bottles in front of my house,â&#x20AC;? Murphy said, adding that one of her constituents managed to collect 38 empty nips during a short walk around the neighborhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are just a blight on the city,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier to see something like this because kids and people will pick them up, and at least theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a little bit of money for them. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great idea.â&#x20AC;?

The Massachusetts Bottle Bill, which requires a five-cent deposit on containers of carbonated beverages, has been around since 1983. Four years ago, a ballot question asking Massachusetts residents to expand the bottle bill to include containers of noncarbonated beverages, such as water, iced

tea and juice, went down in flames with 73 percent of voters rejecting the proposal.

The bottle bill has never been popular with retailers and food and beverage industry groups, which in the past have argued that deposits, refunds and the collection of empty containers are a burden on businesses. More recently, antiâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;bottle bill forces have argued that most communities now have curbside recycling and people prefer that system of recycling beverage bottles and cans.

But Councillor-at-Large Steve Winslow doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think many nips end up in curbside recycling bins. Winslow, who has done a lot of community cleanups along the bike trail and the river, said that empty nips are a persistent problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who use nips tend to just throw them away,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To change that behavior, I think you do need a deposit.â&#x20AC;?

~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~

Not everyone is celebrating Grand Reopening of the Masonic building Dear Editor: I write in response to the article “City Celebrates Grand Reopening of the Masonic building.” (Malden Advocate, 11/16/18, pg. 1.) Not everyone

is celebrating, and an inside view of the facts may explain why. November 15 marked the opening of yet another apartment building in Malden, only this time the taxpayers gave

the developer a $2 million tax break to build it. Malden is a magnet for apartment developers, so clearly there is no need to pay them to develop market-rate apartments here.

Apartment developer tax discounts were only made possible as a funding tool to afford a new City Hall, and then it was cleverly exploited.

In 2015, when Malden was

searching for funds to pay for a new City Hall, it adopted a state law designed to help cities and towns that had difficulty attracting developers. The “Housing Development Incentive Program” (M.G.L. ch.40V), allows communities to create an “HD Zone” where future taxes could be reduced for up to 20 years as an incentive for developers to build. Malden created its HD Zone around the City Hall site. At the same time, the prospective City Hall purchaser agreed to give the City present day dollars in exchange for reduced future taxes. The net effect did not cost the City, or the purchaser, any money; it merely accelerated future tax payments that the City could spend sooner to help pay for a new City Hall.

Although the HD Zone was adopted specifically to afford a new City Hall, shortly thereafter, the Mayor lobbied for an HD tax discount for a building recently purchased by former State Senator Jack Brennan. It was no coincidence that Mr. Brennan’s building happened to fit within the Mayor’s boundaries for the HD Zone, as the Mayor had recently helped Mr. Brennan buy it. In 2013, the Mayor filed a lawsuit against the former Masonic Building owner to compel roof repairs.

Instead of going through the Problem Properties Unit, and our City attorneys, the Mayor took the unusual step of spending $28,000 on outside attorneys to threaten the owner with receivership and foreclosure. The suit was vigorously pursued until the building was sold to Mr. Brennan for $1.2 Million. The sale price was $900,000 under assessed value, and far less than would have been realized if publicly marketed for sale in the redhot real estate market.

Unlike the City Hall deal, which called for the City to receive tax payments ahead of schedule, the deal with Mr. Brennan was an outright gift of $2 Million to a market-rate apartment developer, with no financial return to the tax payers. Also, unlike the City Hall deal, which was negotiated as part of the purchase, Mr. Brennan had already purchased his building, and therefore did not need an incentive to buy it, or develop there, as he was already doing it. The Mayor explained that the incentive was needed to save a historic building from demolition; however, Mr. Brennan had already put $100,000 into repairing and updating the existing structure, not demolishing it.

THE SPORTS WIRE

By Steve Freker he “C” still looks good of the guy with three of them in his last name.

Most people who follow Saugus High School (SHS) sports call him the best overall athlete to wear a Sachem uniform this decade and they are right.

Dan Cacciola was a throwback student-athlete if there ever was one in his years at SHS, a three-sport standout from 2011, his first football season as a Sachem, to June 2015, his final baseball season. In-between there were, count ’em, 11 seasons where he played varsity sports: three seasons in baseball and four each in football and basketball.

T

Mayor Gary Christensen with members of Malden Recreation’s Al Locke Basketball League team.

Dan Cacciola Cacciola was also a top student in all those four years at SHS as well as being a captain of all three sports: football in the fall, basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring.

He also was the rare choice as captain of the basketball and baseball teams as a junior. Cacciola could have played at least two sports at the collegiate level, but his path led him to baseball for Endicott College.

A reserve for two years, the accounting major had a breakout year as a junior for the Gulls, one of the top Division 3 baseball programs in the Northeast. Appearing in nearly every game, Cacciola was fifth on the team in batting average (.268), second in runs scored (27) and led the team in stolen bases (22). He also hit a home run and knocked in 11 runs for head coach Bryan Haley.

“He [Cacciola] had an excellent season and was a dependable, hardworking sparkplug for us all season,” coach Haley said of Cacciola.

The “C” seems to still fit very well for Cacciola, who was named team captain before the fall season began and will

lead the Gulls into the 201819 campaign, his senior season. “Dan [Cacciola] is a great choice as a leader for this team; he’s really grown into that role.”

Having coached Cacciola at Saugus High his junior and senior years, it was easy to see his potential to play baseball at the next level. His speed has long been his biggest strength, but having diligently worked to add size in the weight room he has gone from a 5'9", 155 lbs. freshman to a 5'10", 185 lbs. senior with greatly enhanced bat speed and power.

Congratulations, Dan Cacciola, on being named captain and best of luck this season for Endicott Gulls Baseball!

beyond the three-point line.

Moore captained the Malden High football team the past two seasons and led the team to an inspiring 28-24 win over Medford on Thanksgiving three weeks ago. Moore was named First-Team NEC All-Conference Team as a defensive back.

Stickney was Malden High baseball’s ace pitcher last season, registered four wins on the mound for the 7-12 Tornadoes and was both Most Valuable Player of the Strike Out Cancer Tournament in East Boston and NEC All-Star selectee last season.

Ironically, both players are best friends and both played together for the Lakers in the

Malden Neighborhood Basketball League (MNBL) for the past two seasons. Word is, MNLB Lakers coach Terlonzo “Beany” Amos had visions of titles dancing in his head this winter before the news hit of his top two returnees’ changed fortunes as Tornados.

“Both [Moore and Stickney] have been good additions to the team,” said coach Nally. “They listen, they learn fast and they compete. That’s what we’re looking for on this team.” **** usiness” is booming with youth basketball in the city of Malden these days with two jam-packed boys’ leagues

set to start after the first of the year under the direction of Malden Recreation.

Two years ago, Malden Recreation took over the longtime Al Locke Basketball League for boys in grades 7, 8 and 9 when the league featured six teams and about 50 players.

Fast forward to today: EIGHT teams and NEARLY 100 Players! Great job, Coordinator Joe Levine and assistant Laura Perez, for all of their work!

New this year: A 5th and 6th grade boys’ league run by Malden Recreation: ALSO overflowing... six teams, over 60 boys. Both of these leagues run starting Saturday mornings at the Salemwood Fieldhouse, 529 Salem St., Malden.

**** wo stars from what could be considered their “primary” sports are suiting up and competing for the Malden High varsity boys’ basketball team for the first time this winter for head coach Don Nally’s Tornados, who are off to a 1-2 season start. Raushad Moore, a 6'2", 210 lbs. forward, and Billy Stickney, a 6'2", 175 lbs. shooting guard/forward, both earned spots on the team in tryouts as first-year seniors on coach Nally’s squad; Moore has worked his way into the starting lineup, and Stickney, who is adept at the basketball “long ball,” has provided some quality “instant offense” from

MelroseWakefield Healthcare officials have said the decision to close the emergency room at Lawrence Memorial was based on statistics that show visits to the facility are down 32 percent since 2016.

The company has said that the ER at Lawrence Memorial averages less that one visit per hour, the lowest number of visits among all emergency facilities in the state. MelroseWakefield Healthcare officials have also said that for those who need life-saving care, there are seven hospital emergency departments within two to six miles of Lawrence Memorial.

That last bit of assurance

is no doubt cold comfort to Malden residents who live on the west side of the city and who depend on Lawrence Memorial for care.

On Jan. 2, the Department of Public Health will hold a public hearing on the plan to close the emergency room at Lawrence Memorial at 6 p.m. at the hospital in classroom A/B, 170 Governors Ave., Medford.

Councillors urged any Malden residents who use Lawrence Memorial to attend.

“You need people there to represent the City of Malden,” said Condon. “I believe their plan is to close Lawrence Memorial. Let your voice be heard at this meeting.”

T

to 2017, 15 percent of the patients at Lawrence Memorial were from Medford while 13 percent were from Malden.

Another two percent of tahe hospital’s patients were from Melrose.

Like Spadafora, Matheson focused in on MelroseWakefield Healthcare’s ability to avoid property taxes if the medical facility remains in use. “As long as they are using their asset for their charitable mission, they are tax exempt,” he said, adding that the city waived Hallmark Health’s $1 million tax bill after Malden Hospital was closed.

Beacon Hill Roll Call

By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call begins a series of reports on how local legislators voted on legislation that was approved in the 2017-2018 session by the House and Senate and signed into law

by Gov. Charlie Baker. One vote was on the Legislature’s override of Baker’s veto. $200 MILLION FOR LOCAL ROADS AND BRIDGES (H 3648) House 159-0, Senate 36-0, approved $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 measure also authorizes $70 million for the completion of the ATLAS, the Registry of Motor Vehi-

cles’ technology system that will replace an archaic system that is 30 years old and difficult to maintain and use.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes FAIRNESS FOR PREGNANT WORKERS (S 2093) House 150-0, Senate 38-0, approved the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act that prohibits an employer from discriminating against, refusing to employ or firing a woman because she is pregnant or has a condition related to pregnancy.

The measure guarantees reasonable accommodations and safety measures for pregnant mothers. Reasonable accommodations include time off to recover from childbirth; more frequent, longer paid or unpaid breaks; acquiring or modifying

equipment or seating arrangements; and a private non-bathroom space for expressing breast milk -- unless any of these would create an undue hardship on the employer.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Rep. Paul Donato Didn’t Vote Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes REGULATE MARIJUANA (H 3818) House 136-11, Senate 32-6, approved a bill changing some provisions and adding other provisions to the law, approved by voters on the 2016 ballot, legalizing the possession, growing and sale of marijuana.

The measure taxes all marijuana sales with a 10.75 percent excise tax, 6.25 percent state sales tax and a local option allowing cities and towns to impose an additional tax of up to 3 percent.

In addition, any agreement between a retail marijuana establishment and a host community for the first five years may include a community impact fee of up to another 3 percent paid by the seller to the city or town to cover the costs imposed upon the municipality by the operation of the establishment. Medical marijuana remains tax-free.

If a city or town voted for the 2016 marijuana ballot question, the decision to prohibit or restrict marijuana establishments will be determined by a local city or town-wide referendum.

If a city or town voted against the ballot question, the decision would be made by the municipality’s governing body until December 2019 and then by a local city or town-wide referendum.

Other key provisions of the new law include: Allowing persons over 21 to give an ounce or less of marijuana to others; possess up to one ounce of marijuana outside their home and ten ounces in their home. Any quantity above one ounce in the home must be under lock and key.

Allowing each person to grow six plants per person in his or her home, with a maximum of 12 plants per household.

Prohibiting plants that can be visible by neighbors or from a public place and putting growing areas under lock and key.

Giving landlords the right to prohibit smoking or growing of marijuana on their properties.

Allowing advertising on TV, radio, billboard, print or the Internet only in markets where at least 85 percent of the audience is over 21.

Banning retail shops from being located near school zones.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.)

How to Cope with Seasonal Affective Disorder Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about seasonal affective disorder? I have always hated wintertime, but since I retired and am home a lot more, the dark and cold winter months make me depressed and lethargic.

Fighting the Blues Dear Fighting, If you get depressed in the winter but feel better in spring and summer, you may indeed have seasonal affective disorder (or SAD), a wintertime depression that affects roughly 6 percent of Americans.

In most cases, SAD is related to the loss of sunlight in the winter months. Reduced sunlight can upset natural sleepwake cycles and other circadian rhythms that can affect the body. It can also cause a drop in the brain chemical serotonin, which affects mood, and can increase the levels of the hormone melatonin, which can make you feel more tired and lethargic.

If you think you may have SAD, a trip to your doctor’s office is the best way to diagnose it or you can take a SAD “self-diagnostic” test at the Center for Environmental Therapeutics website at CET.org/self-assessment. In the meantime, here are several treatment options and remedies that can help.

Light therapy: The most effective treatment for SAD is sitting in front of a specialized light therapy box for 15 to 20 minutes a day. Light therapy mimics outdoor light to cause a change in brain chemicals linked to mood. It’s most effective when timed to fit a person’s individual circadian rhythm, which varies widely from person to person depending on whether they’re a night owl or a morning lark. You can calculate the proper time for doing light therapy by taking the circadian rhythm test at CET.org/ self-assessment.

The best light therapy lamps provide 10,000 lux of illumination, many times stronger than typical indoor light, and have a diffuser screen that filters out ultraviolet rays and projects downward toward the eyes.

Some top-rated products as rated by Wirecutter.com include the Carex Day-Light Classic Plus Lamp ($115), Verilux HappyLight Deluxe 10,000-Lux Sunshine Simulator ($160), and the Northern Light Technology Boxelite Desk Lamp ($190), all of which are available at Amazon.com.

Cognitive behavioral therapy: Even though SAD is considered to be a biological problem, identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns can help alleviate symptoms too. To help you with this, choose a therapist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy and who has experience in treating SAD. To locate someone in your area, check with the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (FindCBT. org), or the Academy of Cognitive Therapy (AcademyofCT.org).

Antidepressants: Some people with SAD benefit from antidepressant treatment, especially if symptoms are severe.

Some proven medications to ask your doctor about include the extended-release version of the antidepressant bupropion (Wellbutrin XL, Aplenzin), and antidepressants selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (S.S.R.I.s), sertraline (also known as Zoloft) and fluoxetine (also known under the brand name Prozac).

But keep in mind that it may take several weeks to notice full benefits from an antidepressant. In addition, you may have to try different medications before you find one that works well for you and has the fewest side effects.

Lifestyle remedies: Some other things you can do to help alleviate your SAD symptoms include making your environment sunnier and brighter. So, open up your blinds, sit closer to bright windows and get outside as much as can. Even on cold or cloudy days, outdoor light can help, especially if you spend some time outside within two hours of getting up in the morning. Moderate exercise such as walking, swimming, yoga and even tai chi can also help alleviate SAD symptoms, as can social activities.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE - Friday, December 21, 2018

BEACON | FROM PAGE 16 proved a bill that provides all state and municipal workers with the same protections provided to private workers under the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

(A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? vote is for the bill.)

Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes PROTECT ACCESS TO CONFIDENTIAL HEALTH CARE (H 4256) House 139-14, Senate 38-0, approved a bill that would require health insurance companies to issue â&#x20AC;&#x153;Explanation of Benefitsâ&#x20AC;? (EOB) summaries only directly to the patient even if the patient is not the primary subscriber. Currently, most insurers send the forms to the primary subscriber, regardless of who the patient is.

(A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? vote is for the bill. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? vote is against it.)

Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes RAISE AGE FROM 18 TO 21 TO PURCHASE TOBACCO (H 4784) House 146-3, Senate 32-3, approved a bill raising from 18 to 21 the age to legally purchase cigarettes and electronic cigarettes in the Bay State. Other provisions ban e-cigarettes and other vape devices from the workplace and prohibit pharmacies and healthcare facilities from selling any tobacco or vape products.

(A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? vote is for the bill. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? vote is against it.)

$18 MILLION IN PAY HIKES (S 16) House 116-43, Senate 31-9, overrode Gov. Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veto of an $18 million pay raise package including hiking the salaries of House speaker and Senate president, by $45,000 from $97,547 to $142,547. The measure also hikes the pay of the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two Republican leaders, Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) and Rep. Bradley Jones (RNorth Reading) by $37,500 from $85,047 to $122,547. Another provision hikes the salaries of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judges by $25,000 over an 18-month period.

The measure raises the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary by $33,200, from $151,800 to $185,000; and provides hikes for the other five constitutional officers. It also requires that every two years the salaries of the governor, the other five constitutional statewide officers and the House speaker and Senate president be increased or decreased based on data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) that measures the quarterly change in salaries and wages. It also requires that the same formula is used every two years to increase or decrease the stipends that more than 100 other legislators receive for their service in Democratic or Republican leadership positions, as committee chairs or vice chairs and as the ranking Republican on some committees. There is a caveat in all of these cases that the amount of money they receive can never be less than it was when it became law in Feb-

ruary 2017.

The measure puts an end to legislative per diems which are travel, meals and lodging reimbursements collected by the legislators. These reimbursements are given to legislators above and beyond their regular salaries.

Another provision increases the annual general expense allowance for each legislator from $7,200 to $15,000 for members whose districts are within a 50mile radius of the Statehouse and to $20,000 for districts located outside of that radius. This allowance is used at the discretion of individual legislators to support a variety of costs including the renting of a district office, contributions to local civic groups and the printing and mailing of newsletters. Legislators are issued a 1099 from the state and are required to report the allowance as income but are not required to submit an accounting of how they spend it.

The package also gives a $65,000 housing allowance for the governor. Massachusetts is one of only six states that supplies neither a governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence nor a housing allowance, even as Boston is among the most expensive housing markets of any of the state capitals.

(A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? vote is for overriding Gov. Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veto and is for the pay raise. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? vote is against overriding the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veto and is against the pay raise.)

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 Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 preced-

ing the end of an annual session.

During the week of December 10-14, the House met for a total of 52 minutes while the Senate met for a total of one hour.

Mon. December 10 House 11:04 a.m. to 11:39 a.m.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE - Friday, December 21, 2018

Page 18

CELEBRATES | FROM PAGE 10 while, the Mayor also delayed acting on a local ordinance passed by the City Council to protect historic buildings.

To a working-class community like Malden, losing $2 Million of revenue puts additional strain on our ability to fund public safety, education and other services. To saturate our community with market-rate apartment build-

ings, and then give away the fair share of taxes developers are meant to generate, is just plain wrong. For these reasons, I opposed the Brennan tax gift, and introduced legislation to protect historic buildings and end the practice of apartment building tax discounts. This would be a real reason to celebrate.

John P. Matheson, Malden City Councilor

PRESIDENT | FROM PAGE 1 on the busy Ordinance Committee and chaired the Public Works and Citizen Engagement Committees. Although she has said in the past that her favorite parts of the job of ward councillor are providing constituent services and organizing neighborhood events, she has continually taken on more work and responsibilities on citywide issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the city as a whole, I look forward to the council being back together in a new City Hall, the result of textbook collaboration and out-of-the-box thinking,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the City Council, we start the year with some significant issues that are in motion.

Charter reform, recreational marijuana, the Malden Hospital site and residential parking are all substantial things that will require a united City Council to deliver on for our residents in a way that balances the sometimes competing interests of multiple stakeholders,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Several councillors mentioned that Sica has some big shoes to fill as she takes over the gavel from outgoing City Council President Debbie DeMaria. Councillors took the final moments of the last council meeting of this year to congratulate DeMaria on a year of accomplishments and to express their appreciation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to thank you for a wonderful year,â&#x20AC;? Murphy told DeMaria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have shown true leadership. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve led us through a number of bumpy roads and gotten us to the endgame.â&#x20AC;?

Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson thanked DeMaria for her remarkable leadership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to point out that you seemed to hit the ground running,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You started communicating with councillors and the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office in a way that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been done before.â&#x20AC;?

Ward 6 Councillor David Camell thanked DeMaria for being a mentor to him during his first year on the council, and Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe

praised her for putting in yeomanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work over the past 12 months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You had an outstanding year as president,â&#x20AC;? added Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You put your heart into everything.â&#x20AC;?

DeMaria said the council had been very courageous over the past year and mentioned the adoption of public comment at council meetings, the ad hoc committee on cannabis, the $8.8 million contract with Honeywell for energy efficiency upgrades in city buildings, and the preservation of historic facades as some of the highlights of the past year. She also said the council had approved 97 appointments and reappointments to city posts, boards and commissions, passed 25 ordinances and had more than 30 community guests at council meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I consider all of you my friends,â&#x20AC;? DeMaria told fellow councillors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we all worked collaboratively as a team, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven that, as a team, so much can be accomplished.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;YOUR FINANCIAL FOCUSâ&#x20AC;?

PERMITS, INSPECTIONS & PLANNING SERVICES

QUALIFIED BUSINESS INCOME DEDUCTION The new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, effective January 1, 2018, created a new Section 199A, which is known as the qualified business income (QBI) deduction section. It provides taxpayers with a deduction of up to 20% of QBI earned from a business operated as a sole proprietorship or through a pass-through entity such as an S Corporation, Partnership, Estate or Trust.

If you are conducting business as a specified service trade or business (SSTB), and your taxable income exceeds $415,000 (for married filing joint filers) or $207,500 (for all other filers), you will simply not be entitled to the QBI deduction. The new tax act defines an SSTB as any trade or business involving the performance of services in the fields of health, law, accounting, actuarial science, performing arts, consulting, athletics, financial services, and brokerage services. The law specifically excludes engineers, architects, the banking industry, real estate brokers and real estate property managers.

For all other businesses that are not defined as an SSTB, if taxable income does not exceed $315,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly and $157,500 for all other taxpayers, the so-called W-2 limitations simply do not apply. The deduction is equal to 20% of your QBI, not to exceed 20% of your taxable income.

Once your taxable income exceeds those thresholds, you then need to look at the W-2 limitations. The deduction would then be limited to the

greater of: 1. 50% of the taxpayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the W-2 wages paid by the business, or 2. 25% of the taxpayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the W-2 wages paid by the business plus 2.5% of the unadjusted cost basis immediately after acquisition of qualified property This essentially means when you purchase a piece of equipment (qualified property), simply look at what you paid for it without reducing its cost by any depreciation deductions taken.

The IRS issued proposed regulations on August 8, 2018.

Final regulations have yet to be issued. This section of the new tax law is certainly one of the most complicated and will involve a trial and error approach to this upcoming tax season. There are, of course, no court cases thus far establishing precedent in order to bring additional clarity to the mechanics of this newly-created tax deduction.

Joseph D. Cataldo is an estate planning/elder law attorney, Certified Public Accountant, registered investment advisor, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a masters degree in taxation.
