Council rejects Vote 16 proposal, calls for more input and informationBy Barbara Taormina
The City Council voted this week against moving for-
ward with the proposal to lower the voting age to 16 in municipal elections, but they left the door ajar for a more detailed version of the ini-tiative sometime down the road.
Councillor-at-Large Steve Winslow, Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson, Ward 4 Coun-cillor Ryan O’Malley and Coun-
cil President Debbie DeMa-ria voted in favor of petition-ing the state legislature for ap-proval to change the city char-ter and lower the voting age. The remaining councillors ei-ther opposed the idea or had questions about how student voting would work and how the community feels about the Vote 16 proposal.
The idea to lower the vot-ing age began with the mem-bers of Malden Rising Lead-ers (MRL) Summer Fellowship Program who researched the issue and presented it to the community during a public forum late last summer. The initiative gained steam dur-ing the fall when members of the Malden Civics Youth Coun-

City launches charter reviewBy Barbara Taormina
Malden is appointing a new committee to review and
update the City Charter.Adopted in 1881 and amend-
ed more than 50 times, the charter outlines how Malden’s municipal government works and includes detailed instruc-tions on such matters as elec-tions, appointments of city de-partment heads and the roles and responsibilities of city com-missions and commissioners.
Thanks to former City Clerk Karen Anderson, former Clerk of Committees Sheila Ferma-no and Communications Di-rector Ron Cochran, who put in what must have been some long hours of work steeped in excruciating detail, the charter has been organized and con-solidated. The charter is now
available on the city’s website, and it’s not a bad read.
However, publishing a read-able version of the charter was just the fi rst step. This week, the City Council shared a let-ter from Mayor Gary Christen-son announcing a new City Charter Review Committee. “Not surprisingly, the consoli-dated charter revealed a num-ber of organizational incon-sistencies, outdated provi-sions and operational ineffi-ciencies,” explained Christen-son. “I think we owe it to the city to work toward moderniz-ing and strengthening this im-portant document.”
It will now be up to a new fi ve-member committee to re-vise and update Malden’s City Charter. Two of the members of the committee are mayoral ap-pointments, and Christenson
has named Special Assistant to the Mayor Maria Luise and Ron Hogan, who heads up the city’s parking department, to serve on the committee. The remain-ing three seats on the commit-tee will go to city councillors.
The committee will start working at the beginning of next year with the goal of com-pleting their review and rec-ommendations by the late spring or early summer. That schedule gives the city enough time to ensure that any chang-es that need voter approval will be on the ballot for the 2019 municipal election.
Christenson said the com-mittee will be providing the community with regular up-dates on its work. They may also reach out and gather pub-lic input on diff erent questions and topics.

Senator Jason Lewis Announces Constituent Feedback
SurveyW
ith a new legislative ses-sion beginning in January,
State Senator Jason Lewis is pre-paring his policy agenda and priorities, and is seeking feed-back from constituents on the issues that are most important to them and their families.
Senator Lewis invites you to fi ll out a brief survey, which can be found on his website Sena-torJasonLewis.com. The survey should only take a few minutes to complete and all responses will be anonymous.
To gather further input from his constituents, Senator Lewis will be holding a "virtual town hall" in January. During a Face-book live-stream on January 8 at 6:00 pm, he will discuss the survey results and take ques-tions and feedback from the on-line audience.
Constituents may also con-tact Senator Lewis anytime by phone at (617) 722-1206 or by email at [email protected] with any con-cerns to bring to his attention or feedback to share with him on any issue.
After Holiday Pasta Party success, MHSAA eyes
2020 Hall of Fame eventT
he Malden High School Alumni Association (MH-
SAA), celebrating the suc-cess of its recent holiday pas-ta party, is looking forward to more exciting events to raise funds to benefit MHS students, particularly those in need, such as the induc-tion of a new academic Hall of Fame class in 2020.
T h e f o u r t h a n n u a l post-Thanksgiving MHSAA Holiday Pasta Party “was just spectacular,” said MHSAA Vice President Patricia Kelly (’80) in summing up the event at a recent Board of Directors meeting.
“Everyone had a great time, even though not as many showed up as last year,” said event chair MHSAA Vice Pres-ident Carol Scally (’64).
Nearly 140 people came to the family-friendly event at Anthony’s function hall in Malden and enjoyed tables of delicious pasta, meatballs and sauce, and seeing their children dance and play to lively music while awaiting
the arrival of Santa. Many of Malden’s luminaries attend-ed, including Mayor Gary Christenson (’86), but any attempt to name them all would likely miss some, and that would not be nice. They know who they are, and we thank them for their support. We also want to thank Albert Spadafora and his staff for a job well done.
The board agreed the MH-SAA will host a pasta party again next holiday season, and it promises to be better than ever in that it will be cel-ebrating the fi fth the alum-ni have sponsored to raise funds for scholarships and other student needs as deter-mined by the principal.
Next year will see the re-turn of our Super 50-50 Raf-fl e to the aff air in addition to the dozens of raffl e items do-nated by area businesses and generous benefactors. An ex-ample of how students bene-fi t from the raffl es: The mon-ey raised by 2018’s raffl es was by itself nearly enough to pay
for a $1,000 scholarship, one of many the MHSAA awards every year, said MHSAA Treas-urer Camille Colantuoni (’70).
Also tops on 2019’s agen-da are planning an induc-tion ceremony for the MHS Alumni Hall of Fame for 2020. Taking over this eff ort is MH-SAA board member Fran Mauriello (’61), who said he and his committee are look-ing forward to the search for worthy candidates who de-serve recognition for bring-ing pride to the MHS fami-ly. The date for this event will be announced later, as well as instructions on how to make nominations.
Details for the various MH-SAA programs, including naming seats in Jenkins Au-ditorium, can be found on www.maldenhighalumni.com. Questions can be di-rected to Patti Kelly (781-820-4749), Carol Scally (781-438-0864), David Haskell (781-324-2725) or other board members, whose contact info is on the website.

City Council seeks update on Lawrence Memorial Hospital changes
By Barbara Taormina
The City Council this week unanimously approved
a resolve to have Sue Sand-berg, CEO of MelroseWakefi eld Healthcare, provide councillors with any updates and informa-tion on the proposed changes to Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Medford.
MelroseWakefi eld Healthcare, which may be better known in Malden by its former name, Hallmark Health, operates sev-eral medical facilities north of Boston, including Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Melrose-Wakefi eld Hospital. Last month the organization, which also owns the long-shuttered Mal-den Hospital, announced plans to close the emergency room at Lawrence Memorial and ex-pand services at the hospital’s urgent care center.
“This kind of reminds me of Malden Hospital when they started to make some chang-es and their ultimate goal was to close the facility,” said Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon, who sponsored the resolve.
Condon said changes at the hospital affect Malden resi-dents who depend on the hos-pital, particularly those who live on the west side of the city. “I would like to know what their
end game is,” said Condon.According to MelroseWake-
field Healthcare officials, the emergency room at Lawrence Memorial logs the lowest num-ber of visits among all emergen-cy facilities in the state with an
average of less than one visit per hour. The company has also noted that there are seven hos-pital emergency departments within two to six miles of Law-rence Memorial.
Ward 3 Councillor John
Matheson reminded fellow councillors that MelroseWake-field Healthcare is the same health care organization that closed Malden Hospital in 1999 after acquiring it in 1997. “The City of Malden had given them $1 million to keep it open as an outpatient emergency center, but that only bought us two years,” said Matheson, adding that for the past 20 years the city has had an abandoned building that has been a blight on the neighborhood.
“I would hate to see the same thing happen to Lawrence Memorial Hospital,” he said. “Shame on us if we allow the same health care organization to leave two abandoned build-ings without any plans to reme-diate that land.”
Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley mentioned that he and others had recently learned
of a quirk in state law that al-lows bodies such as a city coun-cil to call people under oath. O’Malley suggested that law might be something the city council wants to explore for this and other matters that in-volve information that aff ects the Malden community.
In addition to the request for information from the City Coun-cil, the state Department of Public Health (DPH) has sched-uled a public hearing on Jan. 2 on the decision to close Law-rence Memorial’s emergency room. The hearing begins at 6 p.m. at Lawrence Memorial in Classroom A/B, 170 Gover-nors Ave., Medford. The hear-ing is a chance for DPH to hear comments and concerns from the public about the proposed changes at the hospital, and no decisions will be made that night.

Councillor testifi es at State joint committee on National Grid issues
By Barbara Taormina
The state legislature’s Joint Committee on Telecom-
munications, Utilities and En-ergy held a hearing this week on the safety of the Common-wealth’s natural gas infra-structure, and Ward 4 Coun-cillor Ryan O’Malley was there to voice Malden’s concerns.
O’Malley has been a per-sistent critic of National Grid and particularly of the ongo-ing lockout of the company’s natural gas workers, which he believes puts the city at risk for natural gas–related prob-lems and accidents.
At this week’s hearing, O’Malley presented evidence of what he described as unre-ported or incorrectly report-ed natural gas incidents in Malden which he said show a pattern of negligence by Na-tional Grid to keep the natu-ral gas infrastructure safe and reliable. O’Malley cited the manhole explosions at Main and Florence Streets on Dec.
18, 2016, the gas incident at Main and Clinton Streets this past July and the mismark-ing of a residential gas line on
Hamlett Place last month as examples of serious missteps on the part of National Grid.
“During the July incident,
the construction crew work-ing on a water line hit the al-legedly mismarked gas line,” O’Malley told the commit-tee. “Luckily, the Nov. 1, 2018, mismarking incident was re-alized by another construc-tion crew before another dan-gerous leak or explosion was caused.”
O’Malley stressed to the committee that the Com-monwealth has some of the oldest gas infrastructure in the world and Malden has some of the Commonwealth’s oldest gas pipes.
“It is my belief that Nation-al Grid has failed to main-tain a safe and reliable nat-ural gas system,” O’Malley told the committee. “In or-der to ensure the safety and timely replacement of our ancient gas lines, I respect-fully request that the Com-monwealth of Massachu-setts, through the oversight powers of the Joint Commit-tee, the Department of Pub-lic Utilities and in partnership
with the federal government, require National Grid to de-velop a new Gas System En-hancement Plan (GSEP) to re-place its failing and danger-ous infrastructure.”
Although last fall’s natu-ral gas disaster in Merrimack Valley has led a lot of local and state offi cials to begin to pay closer attention to natu-ral gas infrastructure, O’Mal-ley’s concerns, which date back to the 2016 manhole explosions, grew more ur-gent over the summer with the National Grid lockout. He has repeatedly criticized the international corporation for putting the profi ts of share-holders ahead of the safety of ratepayers.
“I hope to continue to push the Commonwealth of Mas-sachusetts to take the bull by the horns and ensure that qualified workers are put back to work so that we can start replacing unsafe natural gas infrastructure that is over a century old,” he said.

42nd Basic Training Academy class takes oath, joins ranks of Middlesex Sheriff’s Offi ce
STONEHAM, Mass. – Near-ly 200 people gathered in the Stoneham Town Hall auditori-um on Friday, December 7, to watch twenty-four men and women be sworn in as the newest members of the Mid-dlesex Sheriff ’s Offi ce (MSO).
“The Middlesex Sheriff ’s Of-fi ce has a storied history span-ning over three centuries, and you join its ranks at a time of in-credible progress and opportu-nity,” Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian told the newly-minted offi cers. “This agency – our agency – has been recognized national-ly for a wide number of innova-tive programs. These initiatives succeed because of the talent and work ethic of our offi cers, those who see a population
in need and seek to help, and our future remains bright be-cause of the energy and com-mitment each of you will bring to this endeavor.”
Former Boston Police De-partment Commissioner Ed-ward F. Davis provided key-note remarks at the gradua-tion ceremony. As the former Superintendent of the Lowell
Police Department, Commis-sioner Davis noted the evolv-ing responsibilities of the Mid-dlesex Sheriff ’s Offi ce and law enforcement agencies nation-wide.
“Public safety is about pub-lic service, and few exemplify that as well as Sheriff Koutou-

Sheriff Koutoujian welcomes international visitors for young adult unit tour
BILLERICA, Mass. – Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian recently welcomed Berlin’s Director General of Pris-on and Probation Administration and Department of Criminal Law Susanne Gerlach, and Ministeri-al Advisor for Prison Supervision Johanna Schmid for a visit to the Middlesex Sheriff ’s Offi ce’s (MSO) new young adult unit.
The German offi cials were visit-ing the United States as part of the Vera Institute of Justice’s Restoring Promise conference. The Restor-ing Promise Initiative is focused on transforming living conditions for incarcerated young adults (ages 18-24) across the country in or-der to produce better outcomes for individuals and communities.
The MSO was the first local jail the Vera Institute of Justice worked with to support the open-ing of a young adult unit, having only previously worked with the Connecticut Department of Cor-rection. The MSO’s P.A.C.T. (People Achieving Change Together) pro-gram opened in February.
“It was an honor to welcome Director Gerlach and Advisor Schmid to the Middlesex Jail & House of Correction. We have con-ducted several of these peer ex-changes with national counter-parts, but to expand to the inter-national community underscores how universal this work is,” said Sheriff Koutoujian. “We contin-ue to seek and share best practic-es wherever they are implement-ed, with the goal of making our programs as eff ective as they can be. We deeply appreciate the val-uable insight off ered by Director Gerlach, as well as the continued support we have received from our partners at Vera.”
During their visit to the Mid-dlesex Jail & House of Correction, German offi cials met with MSO staff and administrators, as well as young off enders participating in the P.A.C.T. program. They learned about the daily operations of the unit and some of the specialized treatment programs P.A.C.T. mem-bers participate in.
“Visiting the P.A.C.T. unit and learning about what the Mid-dlesex Sheriff ’s Office already achieved by implementing the
program for young adults was an outstanding experience for us,” said Director Gerlach. “In Germa-ny we have a long history of sep-arating juvenile and adult off end-ers. Through that we have had a great experience with special-ized programs for the treatment of young offenders to support them to become socially respon-sible and full members of our so-ciety again. Furthermore in my opinion an atmosphere of social security and respect as created in the P.A.C.T. unit is essential for suc-cessful outcomes with young and also with adult off enders. There-fore the work that is being done in the new unit should be supported by all means.”
“For too long, creating humane and dignifi ed conditions of con-fi nement was an overlooked as-pect of reform, however, PACT’s participation in Restoring Prom-ise has helped blaze the trail for a national movement that we be-lieve will change the face of jus-tice for years to come,” said Alex-andra Frank, Project Director for Vera’s Restoring Promise Initia-tive. “We’ve heard people who live and work in PACT refl ect: we can’t and won’t go back. That’s exactly the type of commitment that Re-storing Promise has always aimed to accomplish, and we are equal-ly committed to supporting MSO realize this vision, appreciative of our partnership with Director Ger-lach and other international part-
ners, and excited for all that is still to come.”
As part of a review of the Com-monwealth’s justice system in 2016, the Council of State Govern-ments Justice Center (CSG) found 18-to 24-year-olds released from Massachusetts correctional facil-ities have higher recidivism rates than older off enders. CSG report-ed 52% of those released from houses of correction and 56% of those released by the department of correction were re-incarcerated within three years.
Nationwide, 18- to 24-year-olds comprise 10 percent of the popu-lation, but account for 21 percent of all individuals admitted to adult prisons each year.

The ceremony also featured welcoming remarks from State Representative Michael S. Day (D – Stoneham) who shared the appreciation of his home-town for those who swore an oath to public safety.
“I thank all of the men and women who made this com-mitment to public service to-day,” said Representative Day. “I am confi dent that the Mid-dlesex Sheriff ’s Offi ce, already a national leader and a model for other offi ces in Massachusetts and throughout the country, will be further strengthened because of the talents and ded-ication these new offi cers will bring to the job. I was honored to welcome them to our home-town for this ceremony.”
The 42nd Academy gradua-tion marked the eighth during Sheriff Koutoujian’s seven-year tenure, with over 275 acade-my-trained offi cers joining the ranks of the Middlesex Sheriff ’s Offi ce in that time.
Those who graduated Friday received 12 weeks of classroom and practical training focused on interpersonal communica-tions, corrections and crimi-nal justice systems, transporta-tion procedures, defensive tac-tics, fi rearms and fi rst respond-er training, among other areas. Graduates had to successfully pass classroom, physical fi tness and fi rearms tests, and partic-ipate in on the job training at the Middlesex Jail and House of Correction.

Golden Tornados boys’ basketball team nets 62-52 victory over Tewksbury High
By Steve Freker
This one had all the check-marks of a potential tough
start for head coach Don Nal-ly’s Malden High School boys’ basketball squad in its season opener on Tuesday.
The Tornados were on the road against a tough op-ponent in Tewksbury High, with Malden fi elding a team featuring no returning start-ers and a whole busload of question marks. Despite all the uncertainty, the Blue and Gold boys answered the bell and then some in a solid, 62-52 victory over the host Red-men. Senior Robens Garcia led the way for Malden with 18 points, and senior first-year varsity player Raushad Moore chipped in with 10 points and 12 rebounds for Malden.
“It was a tough draw for us to open the season, but our players responded,” said coach Nally, presiding over his 15th season opener as
one of the longest-serving Tornados basketball coach-es in school history. He add-ed, “We liked to see the way our team played aggressive-ly and stuck together. For our fi rst time out, it was very en-couraging.”
Malden never trailed in this one, after the middle of the fi rst quarter. The visitors led after one period, 15-10, and quickly built the lead up to 22-13 midway through the second quarter when Gar-cia sliced through the Tewks-bury defense and laid one in. At the half, Malden hung on to a 10-point lead at 31-21.
“We played pretty well de-fensively at times in the fi rst half but we knew [Tewks-bury] was not going away, not in their home opener,” coach Nally said.
Malden upped its lead to 45-32 after three quarters, with contributions from sev-eral players, including senior Christian Monahan-DaSilva, with some key points and re-
bounds and another Tornado newcomer, senior Billy Stick-ney. Tewksbury kept coming in the fourth quarter and Mal-den was able to hold off the Redmen for the win.
“We saw a lot of good ef-forts, but we also saw plenty
that we have to work on and get better,” coach Nally said. “It is always great to get that fi rst one though.”
*****Malden was back in action
last night in its Northeastern
Conference (NEC) opener on the road at Lynn English. The Tornados host a pair of home games next week: St. John’s Prep on Tuesday, Dec. 18 and Peabody (NEC game) on Thurs-day, Dec. 20. Both games are at 7:00 p.m.

MHS Swim Team starts season strongBy Steve Freker
It has been a strong start for the Malden High School
(MHS) co-ed swim team, which has broken out of the starting gate with a pair of decisive vic-tories to open the season. Mal-den improved to 2-0 in the Northeastern Conference (NEC) and 2-0 overall with an 85-52 win over Salem in its home opener at the MHS Pool.
“It was good way to start the season in a very compet-itive league,” said MHS assis-tant coach Jessica Bisson. “Our preseason is very short but we were still prepared, and a lot of our swimmers got off to good starts with their times.”
Against Salem, the 200 med-ley relay team of David Lom-bardi, Tony Giech, Kevin Ochoa and Haoxi Wang started the day strong with a winning time of 1:46.1. Abby Tang, Chloe Akom-bi, Joanne Ho and Olivia Forest-ier placed second at 2:06.2.
Ochoa won the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:52.66. Kevin Sathapornchaisit was second at 2:14.1, and Pamela Coelho came in third for a 1-2-3 fi nish for Malden at 2:40. Lombardi got another win in the 200 in-dividual medley with a time of 2:09.47. Giech was second at 2:22.12.
Wang won the 50 freestyle sprint to start a 1-2-3 sweep with a time of 23.75 seconds. Gilbert was second at 28.34 seconds, and Tony Luu third at 28.08. Ochoa won his sec-ond individual event in the 100 butterfl y with a time of 52.78 seconds. Tang was second at 1:10.75.
In the 100 freestyle, Wang was the winner for the Torna-dos with a time of 58.50 sec-onds. Ho was second at 1:04.9 and Forestier fourth at 1:13.5. Akombi was the winner for Malden in the 500 freestyle at 5:47.03. Ryan Vasili was second at 6:25 and Tyler Lu complet-ed the Tornado sweep with a 7:10.25 fi nish.
Malden’s 200 freestyle relay team of Ho, Coelho, Forestier and Akombi placed second un-offi cially at 2:01.15. Sathaporn-chaisit was fi rst unoffi cially in the 100 backstroke at 1:06.81. Giech was fi rst unoffi cially in the 100 breaststroke at 1:09.58.
Malden swims past Swamp-scott on the road, 90-75
Malden opened its season with a 90-75 NEC win on the road at Swampscott. Malden took fi rst-place fi nishes in sev-en events, led by Kevin Ochoa, who took fi rst place in the 100 butterfl y at 55.15 seconds and
in the 100 freestyle at 1:56:61. Ochoa also swam in the win-ning 200 freestyle relay with Abby Tang, Chloe Akombi, Joanne Ho and Olivia Foresti-er and a time of 1:49.1. David Lombardi and Haoxi Wang also won two events each.
The quartet of Tang, Akom-
bi, Ho and Forestier placed second in the 200 freestyle re-lay at 2:06.2, and Sathaporn-chaisit, Vasili, Sebastian Romani and Luis Gilbert were fourth at 2:09.3. Sathapornchaisit was fourth in the 200 individual freestyle at 2:21.92.
David Lombardi won the
200 individual medley with a time of 2:10.87. Tony Green was third in that event at 2:23.7. Ha-oxi Wang won the 50 freestyle at 24.19 seconds. Luis Gilbert was third at 28.71 seconds. Romani (1:08.20) was second in the 100 butterfl y and Tang (1:09.71) third.
Wang won the 100 freestyle at 55.26 seconds. Ho was third at 1:25.97. Akombi was second in the 500 freestyle at 5:55.45; Ryan Vasili third (6:35.65) and Tyler Lu (7:0.27) fi fth. The team of Sathapornchaisit, Vasili, Ro-mani and Tony Luu won the 200 freestyle relay at 1:58.01. Finish-ing third in that event were Ho, Coelho, Forestier and Akombi.
Lombardi won the 100 back-stroke at 59.73 seconds. Sath-apornchaisit was second at 1:07.39. Tony Green finished second in the 100 breast-stroke at 1:10.64. Chloe Akom-bi was third at 1:13.99. Lom-bardi, Giech, Wang and Ochoa won the 200 freestyle relay at 3:46.90 to close out the Torna-dos scoring.

break in the schedule and re-turns to competition on Thurs-day, Dec. 27, when the Torna-dos host NEC opponent Bever-ly at 4:30 p.m. at the MHS Pool.

THE SPORTS WIREBy Steve Freker
Some random thoughts while waving goodbye to
a guy who was in strong con-sideration for World Series MVP for his fantastic postsea-son performance in October, now former Red Sox reliever Joe Kelly …
Not for nothing, but does anyone else remember the rumblings in early September over the speculation Joe Kelly might not be included on the Red Sox postseason roster due to inconsistency over a decent stretch of the season? Good luck to him in his new gig with the Dodgers. The Sox never would have given him the deal he ironed out with LA.
Shades of Jacoby Ellsbury: As Kelly goes to the Dodgers, the team Boston just defeat-ed for the World Series, mem-ories return when two popu-lar stars left the Sox right af-ter World Series wins: Jacoby Ellsbury to the Yankees after the 2013 Boston WS win and Johnny Damon to New York after 2004.
The oft-injured Ellsbury’s seven-year, $153 million Yan-kees contract, which includes a full no-trade clause, may very well go down as one of the worst commitments in pro-fessional sports history. Mak-ing $21.1 million this past sea-son, Jacoby Ellsbury was the third-highest-paid player on the Yankees. According to on-line reports, “If [Ellsbury] were never to don the pinstripes again, it appears the organi-zation would be more than OK with that...”
When he coached his 15th season-opener Tuesday night, a 62-52 win over Tewksbury on the road, Malden High head boys’ basketball coach Don Na-lly may have set a new stand-ard for longevity in that post. The late Arthur P. Boyle Sr., who led Malden to a pair of Tech Tourney victories in the early 1960s, may have been past the 15-year mark, but coach Nally is right up there. Nally’s also been one of the most successful, re-cord-wise, with a number of postseason qualifi cations un-der his belt. Additionally, he has sent more than a few play-ers to the next level, most re-cently 2018 grad Fern Berard to Salem State and former Salve Regina standout and two-year captain Rodney Morton.
Good luck to now former Medford High head foot-ball coach Jason Nascimen-
to, who quietly announced his resignation following the Mustangs’ 28-24 loss to host Malden in Game #131 on No-vember 22. Coach Nascimen-to, who is a guidance counse-lor at Medford High, served 10 years as head Mustang in
the fall football season, anoth-er nod to longevity. He has a young family and cited that as a key reason. Hats off to a good guy!
Congratulations to former Malden High standout DJ Ex-ilhomme, a sophomore start-er at defensive back for Cen-tral Connecticut State Univer-sity who was named First Team All-Northeast Conference af-ter leading the Blue Devils in tackles (74), forced fumbles (4) and pass breakups (7). His brother, Danley Exilhomme, also a 2016 Tornados gradu-ate, is a sophomore running back for Central Connecticut State University.
More congratulations: An-other former Tornado, Fram-ingham State senior offen-sive tackle Joshua Bessey, a 6'2", 270 lbs. three-year start-er, was named to the Massa-chusetts State Collegiate Ath-letic Conference First Team Of-fense in postseason honors. Bessey is a 2015 Malden High graduate. His younger broth-er, Matt, was one of the most productive wide receivers for the Tornados this past season as a sophomore, including four TD receptions in his last fi ve games for Malden. Matt is a 6'3", 200 lbs. 10th grader and is also looking to contin-ue his football career at the next level.
The Malden High co-ed swim team continues to be one of the bright spots of the Tornados’ athletic year, as head coach Paul DeVincentis and assistant Jessica Bisson con-tinue to turn out winning re-cords. They are off to a 2-0 start
this season.Former Malden High head
football coach Joe Pappagallo (2007-2015), now off ensive co-ordinator at Curry College, was back at Malden High yesterday to talk with potential Tornados college football prospects. He gave a very informative pres-entation as well on the gen-eral college football recruit-ing process to a large group of MHS players.
No one can dispute that one of the most exciting periods of watching and following Major League Baseball was when for-mer Oakland A’s and St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McG-wire, Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa and San Die-go Padres record-setter Barry Bonds were hammering ding-ers out of ballparks at mam-moth rates in the late 1990s into the early 2000s. None of them may ever get into the Hall of Fame due to suspect-ed (in McGwire’s case, admit-ted) PED/steroid use, but it sure was fun to watch.
Who would have thought we would ever get to the point where we can really see the Pa-triots playing... and winning... without “Gronk,” Rob Gronko-wski. With the highly under-whelming season he has had due to his debilitating phys-ical ailments, unfortunately, we are absolutely there now.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week.
ALLOW THE SALE OF LOT-TERY TICKETS ONLINE – Front and center up on Beacon Hill last week: Treasurer Deb Goldberg continued her campaign to allow the state’s Lottery to sell tickets online. She told a budget panel that Lottery sales have begun to drop, citing the record $1.035 bil-lion it generated in 2017 and the drop to $997 million in fi scal 2018.
Of the 44 states with lotteries, 11 of them now off er online pur-chases. New Hampshire started selling online in September and in just 12 weeks, the state posted over $1.3 million in net gaming revenue from online sales alone.
“The landscape has shifted and technology has transformed ev-ery aspect of our lives,” said Gold-berg. I am confi dent that our Lot-tery will continue to maximize its performance, maintain current revenues, and meet the need for unrestricted local aid — but all of us as partners must take the next steps together.”
Goldberg said the next step is to allow the Lottery to go online to cater to the new and younger market which is used to doing ev-erything online. “We need to pro-vide the Lottery with the tools and resources necessary to win new customers, utilizing digital marketing and providing friction-less transactions through cashless purchasing options.”
Goldberg, a former retailer, said she wants to make sure the state protects the retail stores that sell tickets —particularly conve-nience store operators, gas sta-tions and quick-marts. “Done right, an online Lottery will help them — directing new custom-ers through their doors,” said the treasurer.
“If we want to uphold our com-mitment to supplying reliable lo-cal aid to our cities and towns, we have no choice but to respond proactively to these challenges,” said Goldberg.
The opposition is determined to keep the ban on online sales. “It’s ridiculous and disgraceful and will undoubtedly be a waste of money for people that don’t
have the money to waste,” said Sen. Kathleen O’Connor Ives (D-Newburyport). “I’d hope that Mas-sachusetts had ways of raising revenue that didn’t exacerbate addictive activities like gambling, but I guess that would require the thoughtful, diffi cult work of tax reform.”
“We believe good state pub-lic policy should incentivize our consumers to spend in our econ-omy with our local small busi-nesses,” said opponent Jon Hurst, President of the Retailers Asso-ciation of Massachusetts. “Con-sumers represent 70 percent of the economy and the common-wealth should recognize the im-portance of impulse buys when spending locally with a brick and mortar employer. To take the traf-fi c away from small businesses will mean lower sales on a variety of consumer products.”
In 2016, the Senate approved an amendment that allowed on-line Lottery sales. However, the measure was never taken up by the House and it died.
2016 SENATE VOTE ON AL-LOWING ONLINE LOTTERY SALES
Here is how local senators vot-ed on the 2016 amendment that would authorize online Lottery sales.

H O W LO N G WA S L A S T WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legis-lators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legis-lature’s job and that a lot of im-portant work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also in-volve committee work, research, constituent work and other mat-ters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legis-lature 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.

Dear Savvy Senior,I’ve heard that Social Security
sometimes makes mistakes on our earnings record, which can reduce our monthly retirement benefi ts. How can I make sure this doesn’t happen to me?
Paranoid Paul
Dear Paul,Mistakes in the Social Security
earnings record are actually fair-ly common. Your Social Security benefi ts are based on your high-est 35 years of earnings history. So, if your earnings for any par-ticular year are underreported, it will reduce your benefi ts.
These errors typically occur because your employer either reported your earnings incor-rectly or reported your earnings using the wrong name or So-cial Security number. Or if you got married or divorced and changed your name but did not report the change to Social Se-curity.
Check Your StatementThe best way to keep an eye
on your benefi ts and avoid any possible mistakes is to careful-ly review your Social Securi-ty statement every year. To do this, go to SSA.gov/myaccount and then print your statement out on paper.
If you’re age 60 or older and not yet receiving benefi ts and don’t have a My Social Securi-ty account online, your state-ment will actually be mailed to you about three months before your birthday.
Your Social Security statement lists your earnings record for each year of employment and estimates the benefi ts you and your family may receive as a re-sult of those earnings.
Once you get your statement, take some time to verify its ac-curacy by comparing the earn-ings listed on your statement with your own tax records or W-2 statements. You have to correct errors within 3 years, 3 months and 15 days following the year of the mistake. If you happen to spot a discrepancy within that time limit, follow these steps.
First, call your nearest Social Security offi ce (see SSA.gov/lo-
cator or call 800-772-1213 to get the number) to report the error. Some corrections can be made over the phone, or you may need to schedule an appointment and go in with copies of your W-2 forms or tax returns to prove the mistake, or you can mail it in.
If you suspect a discrepancy but don’t have backup records, the Social Security Administra-tion (SSA) may be able to use your employment information to search its records and cor-rect mistakes. If the SSA can’t lo-cate your records, you’ll need to contact the employer to obtain a copy of your W-2 for the year in question.
Once your earnings record is corrected, Social Security will send you a confirming letter. If you don’t receive the confi r-mation within three months, contact them again, and dou-ble-check the correction by making sure it appears on your Social Security statement.
If corrections aren’t made on your statement start an appeals process (see SSA.gov/pubs/EN-05-10041.pdf).
Other MistakesSocial Security earnings mis-
calculations can also happen if there’s a mistake in your current mailing address that the IRS has on fi le for you. Check your fed-eral tax returns for this possible error, especially if you’ve moved recently.
To correct your address, con-tact the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you the “Change of Address” form 8822, or print it off at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8822.pdf, fi ll it out and mail it back to the address on the form.
Other factors that can cause mistakes are if your name or date of birth in the SSA records isn’t the same as it appears in the IRS fi les. So double-check your Social Security statement for these possible mishaps, and if you fi nd an error call the 800-772-1213 and ask for Form SS-5, “Application for a Social Securi-ty Card,” and submit it with the correct information. The form can also be downloaded at SSA.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf.

– driven by a driver who may have been impaired – on Sun-day night.
Two-month-old Natasha Ni-cole Mejia-Rivera died early Thursday morning, and fi ve-year-old Adrianna Meja-Rive-ra died upon impact, accord-ing to Jake Wark, spokesper-son for Suff olk County District Attorney John Pappas. Nata-sha Meja-Rivera spent approx-
imately a week in a coma at Massachusetts General Hos-pital in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Wark said.
The operator of the SUV that reportedly struck the group, 42-year-old Autumn Harris of Beacon Hill, was arraigned Monday on charges of motor vehicle homicide and negli-gent operation of a motor ve-hicle for the collision near the intersection of Route 145 and North Shore Road. Chelsea District Court Judge Matthew Machera set bail at $10,000 and ordered Harris to remain drug- and alcohol-free, if she posts that amount, according to Wark.
Prosecutors say Harris was behind the wheel of a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox shortly be-fore 5 p.m. when it left the roadway and struck the vic-
tims, who were on a sidewalk along the median strip of Route 145 on their way back from grocery shopping. In a recorded, post-Miranda state-ment, she allegedly stated that she had consumed one beer earlier on Sunday afternoon, that she had taken prescription and over-the-counter medica-tion to help her sleep the night before and that she had only slept two hours before work-ing all day. She allegedly stat-
ed she had vaped CBD oil in the vehicle and that she might have nodded off at the wheel. However, she reportedly de-clined to take a breathalyzer test, and her license was sus-pended immediately. Harris had been charged with driv-ing under infl uence of alcohol previously.
Harris is represented by At-torney Jeff Miller. She will re-turn to court on Jan. 10.

“YOUR FINANCIAL FOCUS”
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 imposes a lower dol-
lar limit on mortgages quali-fying for the home mortgage interest deduction. For tax years beginning on January 1st of 2018, taxpayers may only deduct mortgage inter-est on $750,000 of qualifi ed residence interest loans. This is for a married fi ling joint tax return or head of household. The limit is only $375,000 for married individuals fi ling separately. This limit applies to the combined amount of loans used to purchase, con-struct or substantially im-prove the taxpayer’s princi-pal residence and vacation home.
As an example, let’s assume Jim Bowie took out a mort-gage in February of 2018 in the amount of $500,000 to purchase his principal res-idence in the amount of $900,000. In March of 2018, Jim takes out a $250,000 eq-uity line of credit in order to construct a three-car ga-rage. Both mortgages are se-cured by the principal res-idence and the sum of the two mortgages does not ex-ceed the purchase price plus improvements. Since the to-tal of both mortgages does not exceed $750,000, all of
the mortgage interest is de-ductible on Schedule A as an itemized deduction. If Jim has used the proceeds of the equi-ty line of credit to pay off col-lege loans and personal credit cards, then none of the mort-gage interest associated with the equity line of credit would be deductible.
As another example, let’s assume Davie Crockett takes out a $500,000 mortgage in May of 2018 to purchase his principal residence and that the mortgage is secured by this residence. In June of 2018 Davie takes out a $250,000 mortgage to purchase a va-cation home down the Cape.
This mortgage is secured by the vacation home. Since the total of both mortgages does not exceed $750,000, all of the mortgage interest is deduct-ible. However, if Davie took out an equity line of credit on his principal residence to purchase the vacation home, none of the mortgage inter-est on the equity line of cred-it would be deductible.
As a fi nal example, let’s as-sume George A. Custer take out a $500,000 mortgage in April of 2018 to purchase his principal residence. The mort-gage is secured by his prin-cipal residence. Then, in Au-gust of 2018, George takes out a $500,000 mortgage to purchase a vacation home in Florida. The mortgage is se-cured by the Florida vaca-tion home. Since the total of the two mortgages exceeds $750,000, not all of the mort-gage interest would be de-ductible on his 2018 tax re-turn. Seventy fi ve percent of the mortgage interest would be deductible. $750,000 di-vided by $1,000,000. For a fur-ther discussion, see IRS Publi-cation 936.

QUALIFIED RESIDENCE MORTGAGE INTEREST DEDUCTION
fi ght to provide much-need-ed support to those battling substance use disorder(s). De-spite the cost of getting into a recovery program (approxi-mately $800), individuals suf-fering from addiction usu-ally do not have the mon-ey to pursue their recovery in a safe, drug-free environ-ment. Far too often, individu-als who are homeless, or pre-cariously housed, enter detox treatment to get sober only to end up back on the street days later, with almost no sup-port to prevent them from re-lapse. This vicious cycle con-tinues repeatedly: street-to-detox, back-to the-street, de-tox, back-to-the-street, etc., often only interrupted by the real and ever-present danger of overdose, which all too of-ten leads to death.
Over the past two years, MOA has been partnering with four sober living houses in Massachusetts that provide beds for Malden residents who have asked for help. It is MOA’s goal that no person living in Malden who wishes to live so-berly be prevented from doing so by the cost of recovery. It is MOA’s goal that anyone seek-ing help from MOA is never turned away.
For individuals looking for MOA’s assistance to begin the recovery process, the following steps must be followed:
1. Complete MOA’s appli-cation, which is available on www.maldenovercomingad-diction.com;
2. Enter a detox facility and
begin the path to recovery;3. Partner with a MOA rep-
resentative (Placement Coor-dinator Richee Evans or Pres-ident Paul Hammersley) to identify the best recovery house for the individual;
4. Stay in regular contact with the individual’s MOA rep-resentative through the course of treatment; and
5. Upon discharge, continue recovery with support provid-ed by a MOA volunteer recov-ery coach.
Since the launch of MOA’s Recovery Scholarship Program in 2017, MOA has provided 17 individuals with the opportu-nity to jumpstart their recov-ery, though the need for this funding is dramatically, and rapidly, increasing. Over half of those individuals have re-quested funding since July of this year alone, and that num-ber is expected to grow. With the generosity of the Breed Foundation, MOA is able to guarantee that an addition-al 13 individuals will have the opportunity to pursue their recovery in a safe, sober-living environment and have dra-matically increased odds of maintaining their sobriety in the long-term. Under the best of circumstances, the odds of recovery are long; howev-er, MOA is determined that no person within MOA’s reach should be without the help the person has asked for.
MOA remains truly grate-ful to the Adelaide Breed Bayrd Foundation for having a direct and positive impact on the opi-oid crisis in our community.

cil joined forces with MRL to advocate for student voting rights.
Winslow, who worked with students to craft a proposal to submit a home rule petition to the legislature, said a low-er voting age would increase civic participation and bolster the city’s inclusiveness. Both he and DeMaria stressed that the petition is only the first step in a process that would require convincing state law-makers to support the propos-al and winning the communi-ty’s support through a ballot question.
But other councillors felt they need more input from the community before mov-ing ahead with a home rule petition.
“I’ve heard excellent argu-ments both for and against this,” said Ward 3 Councillor John Matheson. “But we are elected to represent mem-bers of our community, and at this stage, I don’t know how my constituents feel about in-
creasing the voter population by allowing 16 and 17 year olds to have the vote.”
Matheson proposed putting a nonbinding question on the ballot for the 2019 municipal election to gauge the com-munity’s support for Vote16. Councillors seem to agree that was a good point to restart a debate about student voting.
Other councillors felt the Vote16 initiative had moved too quickly through the coun-cil’s vetting process and there are too many outstanding questions about how student registration and voting would be implemented.
“We really don’t have the nuts and bolts on how this would work,” said Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe, who is also the executive director of the Malden YWCA, an organ-ization focused on empower-ing young people.
“I think a lot more work needs to be done on this be-fore we send it to the legisla-ture,” she said.
Other councillors suggest-ed that high school juniors
and seniors should learn about city issues, politics and elec-tions in school before taking on the responsibility of voting. And Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora said he worries that a lower voting age might turn the city’s high schools into po-litical stomping grounds for candidates running in munic-ipal elections.
Although councillors had different views on lowering the voting age, they were unit-ed in their respect and admira-tion for the students who pre-sented the idea and advocat-ed for the change.
“After listening to you speak, there’s no question that you represent the best of the best that this city has to off er,” Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon told a group of students in the au-dience.
Condon told students they should be proud that they brought their proposal for-ward and that they had got the City Council talking and thinking about the idea. “We hold you in the highest re-spect,” he said.

Services seeks
volunteers for a variety of services
Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) is seeking volun-
teers who have a passion for giving back to the communi-ty, and the skills, knowledge and temperament (empathy, compassion and patience) to volunteer in their program of choice. MVES volunteers do-nate their time to perform a variety of tasks, such as serv-ing nutritious meals to elders, helping young students im-prove their reading skills and acting as money management and SHINE counselors. Volun-teers are essential to the suc-cess of MVES, helping older adults and adults with disabil-ities live independently.
For more information on cur-rent volunteer opportunities at MVES, please call Volunteer Program Manager Leah Mul-renan at 781-388-2375 or vis-it mves.org/volunteer.
Charges aside, Pappas said it’s all about supporting the Mejia-Rivera family right now. “Our priority right now is sup-porting a family who lost the center of their world in the blink of an eye,” said Pappas, who has assigned two vic-tim-witness advocates to the case. He added that addition-al charges are likely in the days and weeks to come.
Behind Natasha and Adrian-na, another adult female suf-fered non-life-threatening in-juries; and a two-year-old child suff ered non-life-threatening injuries, according to a State Police spokesperson. State and local police declined to be in-terviewed on the scene Sun-day night.
Preliminary investigation in-dicates all the victims were to-gether in the median which di-vides both sides of Route 145. They were at the crosswalk in the median apparently waiting to cross when struck. A passen-ger in the vehicle, an adult fe-male, suff ered non-life-threat-ening injuries, State Police said.
Family members on the scene Sunday hugged each other tightly, crying, and were too distraught to be inter-viewed. They simply said “it’s sad” and that they didn’t have details of what happened. When reached later that week, they asked for privacy.
Fire Chief Chris Bright said Route 145 at North Shore Road is a very dangerous intersec-tion and that it was a horribly graphic and emotional scene. “It was a terrible event,” Bright said.
Mayor Brian Arrigo said the city is overcome with sorrow by the unthinkable loss. “On behalf of the entire city of Re-vere, I express our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family, knowing that no words can begin to ease their pain and sadness,” Arrigo said.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly said extra grievance counselors will be available to students and par-ents for as long as needed. “Adrianna was an integral part of the Garfi eld School,” Kelly said. “For many, it’s the fi rst ex-perience of loss, so it’s diffi cult to process tragedy.”
Arrigo said they continue to push for traffi c improvements in this area but, unfortunate-ly, no traffi c design can pre-
vent impaired driving. Approx-imately a quarter-mile east of the scene, the Department of Conservation and Recreation recently completed roadway improvements to regulate traf-fi c and to slow traffi c where Revere Beach Parkway inter-sects Winthrop Avenue. “We will continue to work close-ly with the state as they make other safety improvements in that area,” Arrigo said.
A few people weighed in on the judge’s ruling. Jan Dumas said Harris was likely impaired. “I hope her license gets pulled,” Dumas said. “I hope she gets some jail time.”
However, Jennifer D’Eon looked at it from a diff erent angle. D’Eon said the imag-es of Harris in the courtroom show that Harris is suff ering tremendously. “This was a tragedy,” D’Eon said. “I’m sure she holds herself accountable and is suffering more than anyone can imagine. All my love and sympathy to all in-
volved.”Several GoFundMe pages
have been put up for the Me-jia-Rivera and Harris family.
However, the Harris page has since been removed.
