Special to Th e Advocate T he Committee on the Future of Maplewood Square led by Ward 6 City Councillor Stephen Winslow will hold a series of community forums beginning in February that seek to build a consensus vision for Maplewood Square. The fi rst community forum will be held on Saturday February 4, 2023 starting at the Salemwood School cafeteria. The forum will begin with a 10 AM site walk to Maplewood Square that will be followed with an 11 AM community discussion in the Salemwood Cafeteria. The forums will seek community suggestions for actions to: (1) support small businesses, (2) attract more customers, (3) preserve and enhance the historic, walkable character of the Square, (4) improve the transportation infrastructure to ease congestion and move buses more effi ciently, (5) address parking needs, (6) keep and/or provide aff ordable housing in and around Maplewood Square and (7) enhance public space in the Square. Residents fi rst raised many of these action areas during a community forum held in July of 2021. The Future of Maplewood Square Committee has recruited the Boston University Metrobridge Program to assist with the community visioning forums. MetroBridge enlists BU students and faculty as allies in addressing real-world urban issues that municipalities and community organizations face. MetroBridge provides a win-win solution by providing tailored expertise and research support to under-resourced communities, while simultaneously providing real-world learning experiences to students from various disciplines to prepare them for their future careers. MetroBridge students and faculty will help run each forum, collect additional information and conduct research helpful to guide the visioning process and will ultimately present the results of their study to the community. MetroBridge has successfully worked with cities through out Eastern Massachusetts including Boston, Chelsea, Everett, Framingham, Revere and Winthrop. Additional forums will be held on Monday, February 27 at 7 PM in the Salemwood School Cafeteria and on Monday, May 1 at 7 PM in the Salemwood School Auditorium.

Levine T he old saying “you have big shoes to fill” could have been created with Kevin Exilhomme in mind. Kevin is the youngest of the four Exilhomme brothers, all excelled on the gridiron, while each being uniquely amazing people. Once again, I’ll let Dorothy Levine take the mic: “I have known Kevin since he was a rambunctious toddler. He always had a big personality, never leaving out a slick comment or joke when given the opportunity. There were no shy bones in that body. “Kevin loved playing his video games, almost too much, so we had to force him to pick up a basketball. He wasn’t the most gifted young athlete, but his oldest brother Witche once told me ‘Kevin will be the best athlete out of all of us.’ Well, Witche, I think you might just be right! “Eventually, a summer a few years back, his athletic genes started to kick in. It hasn’t been an easy road to follow such great athletes as his older brothers, but Kevin is taking it one step at a time. He had a breakout year in football this season, capping it off with three touchdowns at Fenway Park at the Thanksgiving Day game. Kevin has been excelling in the classroom as well, striving towards making Honor Roll this quarter for the first time. He continues to make us proud. “Kevin is a tough, resilient kid. I’d love to give credit to his brothers for those quality traits, but the credit needs to go to his two younger sisters, Manicha and Jennifer. His sisters were never easy on him and always held him accountable. “All the Exilhommes hold a special place in my heart, but Kevin is the first one I have watched grow up from barely being able to talk, to talking nonstop! It truly takes a village, and I wouldn't want it any other way. Kevin displays so much potential, and I am so excited to see it unfold right by his side. Sky's the limit!” Kevin, like his siblings, is a unique and extraordinary individual. I’ve only known him a short while, but the impression he has made on me is lasting. Twenty questions for Kevin – like James – he hit a walk off game winner: 1. My full name is...Kevin Exilhomme. 2. I am currently...a sophomore playing football and basketball at Malden High School. 3. I am saving up for...a big do good out of the kindness of their hearts. 12. The best thing anyone has ever said to me is...“you are going to be something great one day.” 13. I am happy when...I’m around people I like just spending time together with. 14. I find (James Hyppolite) funny/hilarious (he just always makes me laugh like every day to be honest). 15. I am named after...nobody in particular. 16. Your favorite coach & why... Kevin Exilhomme pictured with friend and mentor James BritoWhite house in Texas. [I am going to have to have a talk with both Kevin and James! We need you both in Malden, guys!] 4. My home is in...Malden. 5. I love people who...love themselves. 6. Something I say a lot is...“oh my god, bro.” 7. I consider myself to be...a person of many characters (in a good way). 8. I need to have...Welch’s Fruit Snacks. 9. My favorite movie of all time is...’Babysitter.’ 10. My all-time role model is... my older brother Witche! Even though he gets me mad a lot I don’t think I’d be able to survive without him. He’s playing the father figure in my life and raising me to be the best I can be. I like how he goes out of his way to help people and he’s well respected. He’s good karma for me. 11. I respect people who... is my wide receiver coach, Coach Jean. He’s taught me a lot since the 7th grade and helped me improve dramatically. 17. The farthest I’ve ever been from home is...Haiti. 18. My special talents are... drawing/sketching. 19. I have (two) pets...a cat and a dog. 20. I played sports as a youngster at Coytemore Lea Park.

It has been an instant success and a welcome addition to "Game Night," according to Malden Public Schools Director of Wellness, Athletics and PhysThe MHS Band recently began performing at the Golden Tornado Boys and Girls Varsity Basketball Games and it has been a big hit. All Photos by Steve Freker ical Education Charlie Conefrey. "I can't tell you how many comments we have received from everyone who comes to the basketball games about the band playing," Conefrey said, "and they have all been positive. People really appreciate it and say they really like the atmosphere with the band now part of it." The MHS Band typically begins the evening performance with a live rendition of the National Anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner'. They then jump in with cover versions of everything from the aforementioned Journey hit, to "YMCA," by the Village People to selections by contemporary pop stars such as Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift. The MHS band also intersperses some of the traditional "get the crowd going" snippets—heavy on the drums and horns— at various times during the games. It is a good year to add some enhancements to the game, Conefrey said, since both the Boys Team, coached by Don Nally and Head Coach Scott Marino's Girls Team, are both having decent years, each with a path to the postseason looming, should they continue their success. "We are getting some decent crowds," Conefrey said. "We want parents, friends and other fans to just relax and have a nice night out while watching their sons or daughters compete. The Malden High Band is helping us provide that." Sixth-year Malden High principal Chris Mastrangelo, another avid music fan of the 1980s and 1990s —as well as perhaps the #1 Journey fan in Massachusetts— also expressed appreciation for the new addition to the games."Everyone really appreciates our Director Lauren Foley and each of the band members for giving their time to perform at the basketball games," Mastrangelo said. "Ms. Foley has really made a mark in her fi rst year as a member of our faculty and it has been an impressive one." The Horns Section of the MHS Band helps get the crowd going during the game. Talented musician Jacob Fuentes, an MHS freshman, performs on the saxophone at the game Tuesday night. Jacob has been a member of Malden Public School band ensembles since he was a fourth-grader at the Ferryway K-8 School. Prices subject to change Ask about our Heating Oil Condicioner!

The goal was to put off as long as possible the inconvenience associated with cutting in half on street parking citywide. It was a change met with great support from residents. While of course it has meant the first storm often brings with it less compliance, it has also meant weeks if not months of restriction free parking the past couple of winters.

Johnny Marsinelli is a couple of years away from his tour of duty in ’Nam (thank you sincerely for your service, by the way, John). According to his yearbook profile, “Rock” is an “enthusiastic Brighamite.” For newer Maldonians, in days of yore, the Square was broken up into small, individual tribes: There was Park Street; there was Signor Pizza; there was the Auld-New Lounge; the doo-wop crowd who spent their evenings in the many doorways in the Square honing their craft; the Jack Haney crowd; then there was Brigham’s. Brigham’s, if memory serves, was a hangout for Malden’s young, popular jocks like Marse. John and his wonderful wife, “Saint Maryalice,” still call Malden home and are giving their son, John, the best life he could possibly ask for. Postscript 3: Although I had not seen Jack Drane in the flesh for many years, I had always held him near and dear to my heart. Jack was a sweetheart of a man with the proverbial heart of gold.

A fabulously groovy couple, on their journey! Jack owned Jack’s Music on Pleasant Street for over 10 years (currently Baba Supermarket). He held court behind the counter: dispensing words of wisdom, stories of his many rock n roll adventures and stone-cold bargains on his vinyl records. One time, he generously gifted me 10 Johnny Cash albums for $20 – easily worth $100 at the time – something I will never, ever forget. And I will never, ever forget Jack Drane – any time soon. If there’s a rock n roll heaven (which I have no proof exists, but damn, I really hope so), I know Jack is front row, camera in hand, enjoying every single flippin’ minute! Rest peacefully, my friend. More Jack Drane stories in the future. Postscript 4: On a Johnny Marsinelli side note...I was honored/ privileged to have spent some quality time recently with Marse having a laugh or two – along with a wee snifter or two. This night John was sporting the army issue baseball-type cap that he wore during his (entire) tour of duty in ’Nam – a sacred reminder of that horrid experience.

There were also performances by students from the CCC's Chinese Language School and Little Dragon After-School Program that provided a special touch. The event also included an award ceremony for the COVID Coping Strategy Contest. The contest was a collaborative effort between the CCC and Malden Reads, sponsored by Health Resources in Action (HRiA). Linda Zalk, the mother of Malden Reads, joined Mei Hung to announce the awardees. Santon, an award-winning pianist born blind, made a special appearance. He was invited to perform a selection of original compositions that portray the wide spectrum of emotions he experienced during the pandemic. As well as being technically impressive, his performance was characterized by a great deal of boldness and joy, which generated much enthusiasm and enjoyment among audience members. Each year the event serves as a platform for the unveiling of the U.S. Postal Service’s Lunar New Year stamp series. “We had the distinct pleasure of having U.S. Postal Service Manager of Malden Branch Jeff Carter present to unveil the Lunar New Year: Year of the Rabbit Forever stamp,” said Mei Hung. “I can’t thank Jeff and USPS enough for helping us keep this tradition alive.” Outside the auditorium, a substantial number of visitors enjoyed Chinese arts & crafts activities and display tables. Many families received vaccinations at the COVID-19 vaccination clinic, which was held in conjunction with the celebration. “We at the CCC share one common goal: to strive for the wellbeing and happiness of our people,” said Mei Hung. “Our mission to serve the Asian community in Malden will remain unchanged in the Year of the Rabbit. And we’ll work hard to accomplish everything we set out to do.” The CCC's 2023 Lunar New Year Celebration was made possible by the South Cove Community Health Center, My Little Best Friends Early Learning Center, Mystic Valley YMCA, Fantuan Delivery and Malden Councillor-at-Large Karen Colón Hayes.

A barbershop quartet came to Malden High School recently, and who would have thought it would be a foursome from Denmark who stopped by to perform! MHS Choral Arts Director Todd Cole is always looking for new ways and new forms of music to increase his students’ exposure, and so it was last week when he took up an offer from the Clementones, an established European barbershop quartet group, to visit with MHS students. Hailing from Aarhus – the second-largest city in Denmark, next to its capital, Copenhagen – the Clementones are tenor Erik Buchreitz, baritone Erik Fjendbo Lindstrøm, bass Malte Øster and lead Oliver Runge Skovbo Hansen. In the MHS Choral Room in Holland Building one recent afternoon, the quartet regaled the Malden High students with song after song – including several in Danish – not skipping a beat in switching languages while keeping the harmonies intact. “We love coming to the schools and informally performing and then interacting with the students,” said Buchreitz, who won over the students The Malden High School Choral Arts class members hosted a visit by internationally acclaimed barbershop quartet champions the Clementones. The quartet is shown in front, from left: Erik Buchreitz, Erik Lindstrøm, Malte Øster and Oliver Runge Skovbo Hansen.

(Courtesy Photo) quickly with his engaging manner and performer’s smile. Buchreitz explained that the Clementones were in the United States, in Massachusetts and Connecticut specifically, on a 17stop performance tour. In between performances, the young quarter – college students all in their early 20s – took time to visit local high schools, like Malden High, to introduce barbershop quartet-style singing and then incorporate the students’ voices into their own versions of the genre. “It was a tremendous opportunity for our students to meet and learn from such successful, talented young vocalists as the Clementones,” MHS Choral Director Cole said. Malden High Principal Chris Mastrangelo sat in at the session and visit and professed a newfound admiration for this type of performance. “It was amazing to hear these young professionals perform and then interact with our students,” Mastrangelo said. “We are grateful to the Clementones for stopping at our school and spending time with our kids.” The Clementones’ tenor, Erik Buchreitz, talked to the MHS students during the quartet’s visit. The Clementones made a big step forward this past summer when they captured the international Barbershop Harmony Society’s Next Generation Varsity Quartet Contest championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “Mr. Success.” With their victory, the Clementones become the fifth quartet from the overseas Society of Nordic Barbershop Singers to win the youth contest, which is open to singers ages 27 and under. “Mr. Success” was one of the songs they performed for the Malden High singers in their visit. “We love coming to schools and seeing the young singers,” Buchreitz said. “We intend on making this a part of our visits to the U.S. and other countries as we continue to tour. It is just goodwill and we enjoy it so much.” ׉ 7cassandra://tdL3CUb1s2LGeROphwlpmSg70MykXui8seQjgBAKXvE-`̰cH$s6\׉E'THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 27, 2023 Page 11 Karen with Friends of the Malden River shares her ‘Waste Diet’ E very step we take to reduce our impact on the environment helps to create a healthier environment and community for us and the next generations. There are many suggestions to help you decide what will work for you and your family. Suss out the Trash: It is yours, mine and ours! Take a look at what you throw away & think about how you might significantly reduce it. (e.g., reduce single use packaging; refuse single use plastics: bottles, utensils, etc.); bring your own takeout containers for leftovers; avoid purchasing with excess packaging). Assess your Waste. Can you avoid certain packaging or products? (For instance: Do you have to buy bagged vegetables or can you fill your own vegetable bag with loose products?) Refuse Styrofoam to the best of your ability. The trash doesn’t disappear; it reappears. How do you see what we throw away come back to haunt us? Research your Reality. How is your trash dumped? The reality: It is in landfills or in incinerators. How toxic is that landfill and have you thought about that community and ecosystem? How do they get rid of the toxic ash from the incinerators? Follow and speak up for legislation that will protect neighborhoods and the planet. Trash that is not properly contained eventually lands in our waterways. Go on “Waste Diet.” Small daily lifestyle changes make big timely differences! Use reusable mugs, cups, napkins, shopping bags, vegetable bags, water bottles. Eliminate Single Use Plastics to the best of your ability. Refuse Styrofoam! Use your imagination of how to reduce your waste; compost or use compost services. Share the love of reduction Flex your consumer and political power! Buy thoughtfully and thank those who truly act in favor of our planet. Let’s pass a Green Amendment in Massachusetts: “At this moment, constitutional green amendments that protect the rights of all people to a clean, safe, and healthy environment, are advancing in states across our nation. Among the states with active green amendment campaigns are Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, New Mexico, New Jersey, and Washington.” (There is a Massachusetts Legislative movement to reduce waste: Zero Waste Caucus.) Buy less; Save More! The first question before purchasing should be, “Do I really need this?” Give the Gifts of Experience: Outings, Museums, Meals. Make more! No Green Washing there! Do you need to buy processed food in single use packaging? It is proven that packaged processed food is not good for your gut or the earth. Buy local! Check how far your foods and goods are travelling before they reach your home. Embrace Discomfort and Inconvenience. Turn down the heat and put on a sweater, bring your own coffee cup, containers and shopping bags; choose reusable over disposable. Be grounded with strong roots! Have fun with your challenges…Bring it on! Live your environment. Simplify, simplify, simplify and model for the next generation. Thank You for making a step towards reducing! Every step makes a difference! Every Question is a good one – that means ~ Guest Commentary ~ Hat's Off to the Friends of Roosevelt Park! A s we enter into a new year, I want to give a HUGE thank you to the Friends of Roosevelt Park (FoRP!) Their continued advocacy against all odds, is truly admirable. It would be hard to find a more passionate, educated, mission driven group in Malden. I have done what I could to try and elevate their voices through the proper channels throughout the year and I will continue to do so. They are on the right side of history and the City of Malden needs to get on board. Being an advocate is not easy, it takes a tremendous amount of courage to stand up to City Leaders for what is right and just. The FoRP has spent years educating residents about the environmental and climate dangers (heat & flooding) associated with the city's plan to remove grass and replace it with 3 acres of plastic at Roosevelt Park. It is environmental Injustice as it is proposed in what is already a heat island in an underrepresented area which is used by the families at Salemwood School. Some of you may be wondering why they continue against the odds? It’s because that is precisely what advocates do - you are optimistic until it’s over. I am reminded of the quote “Hope Springs Eternal” from Alexander Pope’s poem. HOPE is what keeps the FoRP going. HOPE for our environment, HOPE for the kids at Salemwood School, HOPE for their neighborhood park and HOPE that the city and the mayor will listen. Hats off to the Friends of Roosevelt Park and may 2023 be the year your HOPE of a green park is realized! Just listen to The Lorax (who is the main character in the environmentally-friendly children’s book who speaks for the trees and has a “save our planet” mindset.)“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.

There are educational links that you can stream with your phone. Both events are free (donations are appreciated and used towards youth programming). someone else is wondering the same question. Ask!! One popular question: Firstly, plastic recycling is propaganda written by the plastic companies to push the responsibility of plastic disposals onto the consumers and the municipalities. It was incorporated to reduce our “guilt of consumption.” Secondly, remember that plastic is made from fossil fuel (petroleum) (https://www.npr. org/2020/09/11/897692090/ how-big-oil-misled-the-publicinto-believing-plastic-wouldbe-recycled). Do our efforts for recycling pay off? Yes, only if we put the effort into proper recycling. Contaminated recycling is worthless. We used to be able to ship off our worthless recycling to other countries – that enabled bad recycling behavior. Check out Malden’s Waste Wizard to answer most questions about recyclables in Malden’s waste stream: https:// www.cityofmalden.org/241/ Waste-Wizard. Not all recyclables are curbside recyclables! Here is a source and there are many more sources as to where to recycle non-curbside recyclables: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/how-where-to-recycle. I do want to emphasize this is not just a Malden River problem and that our work is reducing the amount of trash in our waterways – this is a global travesty of how our waters are polluted with stormwater runoff. We see the trash flow into the waters, but what we don’t see are the pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, automobile fluids, soaps, microplastics, PFAS (a pervasive group of chemicals used in many products), etc. that are washed into the waterways from our yards and parking lots. Editor’s Note: Karen Buck is a local resident. Often working alone or with her children, Karen began removing the trash that collects along the banks of the Malden River.

Bob Davis of Saugus will be honored with Ebbett Award, a major honor from MBCA Two gentlemen who have become icons in their hometowns because of the time and work they have done to promote baseball in their respective communities will be honored with a major award by the MBCA at Saturday evening’s Hall of Fame banquet. Bob Davis of Saugus is one of two honorees who will receive an MBCA 2023 Fred Ebbett Award. Mr. Ebbett did tireless work as one of the founders of the MBCA in the 1960s and 1970s and served over 20 years as the organization's first Secretary-Treasurer. Ten years ago, an award was named in his honor to recognize outstanding contributions to baseball in Massachusetts communities. Bob Davis has been the man behind the construction, maintenance and improvement of World Series Park in Saugus since its creation in 2004. It was built solely on the contributions of Saugus residents and surrounding groups and businesses to honor the spirit of the 2003 Saugus American Little League team, which made it all the way to the U.S, Championship final game before falling to Boynton Beach, Fla. in that game, Back then, the town needed another baseball diamond to maximize the ongoing development of this talented crop of ballplayers. Bob was on the committee for the involved in the initial construction, and has been superintendent ever since. Along the way, he has continued to spearhead improvements to the field, including a scoreboard, fieldhouse, dugouts, a batting cage and most recently, the installation of lights. All the while, he has maintained the field meticulously. Those who use World Series Park, including the hometown team Saugus High School Sachems, are treated to a topnotch field, immaculate dugouts and amenities and an overall great atmosphere. World Series Park has hosted everything from Babe Ruth State Tournaments to Special Olympics and Bob's tireless efforts, all time spent as a volunteer, to provide the best for ballplayers and visitors from around the state, certainly make Bob a fine choice for the Ebbett Award, "Bob Davis is a household word in Saugus and throughout the North Shore region for all he has done to help create then grow World Series Park into the showcase ballpark that it has become," said Coach Steve Freker, who was head coach of Saugus High from 2014-2016, and who serves as Executive Secretary-Treasurer of Mass, Baseball Coaches Association (MBCA). Coach Freker nominated Bob for the Ebbett Award in November and Mr. Davis was a unanimous selectee. Malden High School Athletics Schedule Friday, January 27 Freshman Girls Basketball v.

The undermanned Kings could only generate one player in double digits, after scoring 0 points in the third. K. Laurent scored 10 in this rather one-sided loss.

After they opened the first half up with a 29-6 lead, the Defending Champion Sixers fought back & got close but fell short trying desperately to get off the Schneide. And thanks to a 14-3 Lakers flurry in the fourth behind A. Mallah (15) and R. Correale (11), they get the Win.

Better Business Bureau Tip: Data Privacy T he possibility of a cyberattack by a foreign country has gone from being the stuff of science fiction to a common threat that is often reported in the news. While it might seem like there is nothing an individual can do to stop a cyberattack, there are some best practices that consumers and businesses can do to help guard against losing important personal information to cyber thieves. Quite a bit of personal information is already shared on the internet by cell phones, tablets laptops or any other device that connects through Wi-Fi or an internet provider. These access points make it easier to shop, bank, make travel arrangements and keep in touch with friends or family. When online, safeguard your information to help avoid scams, fraud and identity theft. Periodically, it is a good idea to review who has your information. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the National Cyber Security Alliance offer the following tips to help secure the privacy of critical information: • Share with care. Posts on social media last a long time. Consider who will see the post, how readers might perceive it and what information it might reveal about the individual posting it. • Manage privacy settings. Check the privacy and security settings on web services and apps and set them to your comfort level for information sharing. Each device, application or browser used will have different features to limit how and with whom you share information. • Personal info is like money: Value it. Protect it.

The child tax credit begins to phase out when modified adjusted gross income reaches $400,000 for joint filers, and $200,000 for any other filing status. The tax credit is reduced by $50 for each $1,000 of income over these thresholds. A portion of the child tax credT he child tax credit in the amount of $2,000 per qualifying child is allowed for calendar year 2022. A qualifying child for purposes of the child tax credit is a child who: 1. is claimed as your dependent on your tax return; 2. was under the age of 17 at the end of 2022; 3. is your (a) son, daughter, adopted child, stepchild or a descendent of any of them (for example, your grandchildren); (b) brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendent of any of them (for example, your niece or nephew), whom you cared for as you would your own child; or (c) foster child (any child placed with you by an authorized placement agency whom you cared for as you would your own child, and 4. is a U.S. citizen or resident alien. An adopted child is always treated as our own child. An adopted child includes a child placed with you by an authorized placement agency for legal adoption even if the adoption is not final. An authorized placement agency includes any person or court authorized by state law to place children for legal adoption. Remember, the child tax credit is a dollar for dollar tax credit and not simply a deduction to be utilized in order to reduce your otherwise taxable income. It was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed by Congress in 2017 that provided for the increase from $1,000 to $2,000. There is a $500 tax credit allowed for each qualifying child for whom the credit is not otherwise allowed and for each qualifying relative. An example might be a parent that you are caring for or a child who happens to be age it is refundable for all taxpayers, regardless of the amount of the taxpayer’s regular tax or alternative minimum tax liability. For calendar year 2022, the additional child tax credit is refundable in an amount equal to the lesser of the portion of the child tax credit the taxpayer cannot claim due to the tax liability limitation or 15% of the taxpayer’s earned income in excess of $2,500. If the taxpayer has 3 or more qualifying children, the threshold for the second calculation is the excess of the taxpayer’s share of social security taxes over his or her earned income credit, if that excess is greater than 15% of the taxpayer’s earned income over $2,500. The additional child tax credit may not exceed $1,500 per qualifying child under the age of 17. The $500 partial credit for any other dependent is not refundable. The additional child tax credit is claimed on Form 8812. Do not overlook this valuable tax credit when preparing your income tax return. It is a valuable “dollar for dollar” tax credit which can reduce your tax liability substantially. It is much more valuable than a “tax deduction” which will only serve to reduce taxable income. If, for example, you are only in a 22% tax bracket, a $1,000 deduction would save only $220 in taxes. The child tax credit as well as the additional child tax credit for 2022 is not as high as it was on the 2021 tax return. Congress increased the 2021 child tax credit to $3,600 for children under age 6 and $3,000 for children ages 6 to 17 due to Covid 19, but chose not to extend the increases for the 2022 calendar year.

Dear Savvy Senior, I started drawing my Social Security retirement benefi ts back in 2021 when I was forced to retire early, but I’m now interested going back to work part-time. Will this aff ect my benefi ts, and if so, how much? Back to Work Dear Back, You can collect Social Security retirement benefi ts and work at the same time but depending on how old you are and how much you earn, some or all of your benefi ts could be temporarily withheld. Here’s how it works. SSA Earning Rules Social Security says that if you’re under your full retirement age and are collecting benefi ts, then you can earn up to $21,240 in 2023 without jeopardizing any of your Social Security if you don’t reach your full retirement age this year. But if you earn more than the $21,240 limit, you’ll lose $1 in benefi ts for every $2 over that amount. Full retirement age is 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954, but it rises in two-month increments every birth year to age 67 for those born in 1960 and later. You can fi nd your full retirement age at SSA.gov/benefi ts/retirement/planner/ageincrease.html. In the year you reach your full retirement age, a less stringent rule applies. If that happens in 2023, you can earn up to $56,520 from January to the month of your birthday with no penalty. But if you earn more than $56,520 during that time, you’ll lose $1 in benefi ts for every $3 over that limit. And once your birthday passes, you can earn any amount by working without your benefi ts being reduced at all. Wages, bonuses, commissions, and vacation pay all count toward the income limits, but pensions, annuities, investment earnings, interest, capital gains and government or military retirement benefi ts do not. To fi gure out how much your specific earnings will aff ect your benefi ts, see the Social Security Retirement Earnings Test Calculator at SSA.gov/OACT/COLA/RTeffect.html. It’s also important to know that if you do lose some or all of your Social Security benefi ts because of the earning limits, they aren’t lost forever. When you reach full retirement age, your benefi ts will be recalculated to a higher amount to make up for what was withheld. For more information on how working can aff ect your Social Security benefi ts see SSA.gov/benefi ts/retirement/planner/ whileworking.html. Be Mindful of Taxes Too In addition to the Social Security rules, you need to factor in Uncle Sam too. Because working increases your income, it might make your Social Security benefi ts taxable. Here’s how it works. If the sum of your adjusted gross income, nontaxable interest, and half of your Social Security benefi ts is between $25,000 and $34,000 for individuals ($32,000 and $44,000 for couples), you have to pay tax on up to 50 percent of your benefi ts. Above $34,000 ($44,000 for couples), you could pay on up to 85 percent, which is the highest portion of Social Security that is taxable. About a third of all people who get Social Security have to pay income taxes on their benefi ts. For information, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of publication 915 “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefi ts,” or you can see it online at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf. In addition to the federal government, 12 states – Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia – tax Social Security benefi ts to some extent too. If you live in one of these states, you’ll need to check with your state tax agency for details. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Use long passwords with a combination of upperand lower-case letters, numbers and symbols – eight characters for most accounts and 12 characters for email and fi - nancial accounts. Don’t use the same password for multiple accounts, especially email and fi - nancial. Keep a paper list of your passwords in a safe place, not on or near your computer. Consider using a password vault application. • Keep tabs on apps. Many apps ask for access to personal information, such as geographic location, contacts list and photo album, before using their services. Be thoughtful about who gets that information and be wary of apps that require access to information that is not required or relevant to the services they off er. Delete unused apps on your internet-connected devices and keep others secure by performing updates. • Lock down your login. For your online accounts, use the strongest authentication tools available. Your user names and passwords are not enough; consider two-factor authentication for key accounts like email, banking and social media, especially for access on mobile devices. • Don’t click on unfamiliar links. Whether at home or at work, don’t click on links from unfamiliar sources or unexpected correspondence. One false click can infect a whole computer… or a whole business. • Pay attention to internet-connected devices. Smart thermostats, voice control systems, cars and even refrigerators are just the beginning of the growing list of devices that watch our homes and track our locations.
