City Council approves new rules for executive sessions

By Barbara Taormina he City Council has taken some significant steps to ensure government transparency with new rules on executive sessions. At a meeting on March 5, City Council President Jadeane Sica read a long list of the dates and topics discussed during executive sessions held over several years. The minutes of those meetings are being reviewed by councillors and the city’s legal department to see if they should be released to the public. And this week, the City Council approved new rules for the review, approval and release of executive session records moving forward.

Executive sessions are closed-door meetings that public bodies like the City Council can hold to discuss certain issues, such as personnel matters, complaints against public employees, collective bargaining strategies, security measures, strategies in lawsuits and the purchase and value of land and buildings. Although some argue that no municipal business should take place behind closed doors, most agree that

open discussions of lawsuits, contracts and other types of negotiations are counterproductive and put the interests of the community at a disadvantage.

The state’s Open Meeting Law requires that executive session minutes be reviewed at “reasonable intervals� to determine if the need for confidentiality still exists or whether the records can be made public.

Since some of the city’s executive session minutes now under review date back 16 years, it’s clear the City Council has, in the past, had a very loose relationship with the Open Meeting Law. “This is a huge portion of the minutes that go back to 2003,� said Sica after listing dozens of meetings with minutes that are up for review. “We have minutes from 2016, 2017 and 2018 to do, but this is a start,� she added. “I hope we can get these minutes released as soon as possible.�

The City Council’s latest bout with executive sessions started with Brian DeLacey’s request for minutes from a 2015 closed-door meeting held to discuss the city’s appraisal of the Malden Hospital site. That request was denied since the development of the hospital site is an ongoing issue and releasing the minutes from an executive session about the appraisal would compromise

ohn Matheson, four term Ward 3 Councilor, has formed an exploratory committee for Mayor of Malden. In a statement this week, Matheson explained: “Malden is a great place that I am proud to call home. I have heard from a number of supporters, notable Maldonians, and others encouraging me to run. This outpouring of support has caused me to reflect, and come to the conclusion that the time might be right to serve the unanswered needs of all our People. I was born, raised and educated in Malden, and I cannot think of a better way to serve my community.�

John Matheson Exploring mayoral run Councilor and local attorney, Matheson holds a strong base in the largest voting Ward in the City. Matheson also has a citywide presence through his pre-

vious service as Councilor AtLarge, his race for State Representative, and his tenure as President of the Malden City Council. Matheson has also been active in many charitable groups such as Bread of Life, Malden Rotary Club, Malden Masons and The Shriners. Matheson is a formidable candidate that would give the City only its second Mayor race in 24 years.

The Matheson Committee had this to add: “Despite the many growth opportunities of a strong economy, this administration has primarily focused on the expansion of apartment buildings. As much we love Malden, there is no doubt that our

From AC/DC to U2, the Breakaway Music Hall covers Rock & Roll and more

By The Advocate hat started as a plan to return the missing music scene to the North Shore and Greater Boston – Breakaway Music Hall in Danvers has met that goal and exceeded it. Since the heydays of the live Boston music club scene, such as the legendary Channel nightclub which held 1,500 guests to the still-running Paradise Rock Club with a capacity of 350, Breakaway has brought musical tribute acts, from the popular Bon Jovi tribute band ‘Livin’ on a Bad Name’ to country music’s ‘No Shoes Nation’ Kenny Chesney tribute band.

Breakaway Music Hall owner Joe Crowley, who purchased

W

the former Village Green restaurant and bar less than four years ago, has turned the place upside down with renovations to the kitchen and restaurant of the nightclub – moving the stage to the west side to allow for a larger capacity – along with a renovated bar. After its start as a gamble with local cover bands – such as the popular Fortune, Tangerine and Wildfire bands – Breakaway has shown that music fans also love the tribute bands that take it to the next lever with sight as well as sound, such as KISS Forever, which included costumes and makeup.

to the Breakaway stage, which will also feature Livin’ on a Bad Name’s Bon Jovi lookalike.

Taking the classic rock tribute to the next level or two, the world-famous The Blushing Brides – The Rolling Stones tribute band who are celebrating 40 years – will play the Music Hall on Saturday, April 20.

The Who tribute band called 5:15 will play on March 29; the Aerosmith tribute fave Draw The Line will play May 6.

Just last weekend, the U2 tribute band The Joshua Tree packed the club with hundreds of fans.

Breakaway will also feature national acts, such as John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band, which is slated to play the club on Saturday, April 6, and tickets have been selling steadily, says Crowley. Country star Ayla Brown will appear on May 3.

The venue has also featured Rick Derringer (“Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo�) as well as the band Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau with his new band, Engine Room. Ozzy Osbourne tribute band Ozzmosis joined Judas Priest, The Priest for a recent double metal bill that packed the music hall.

According to Crowley, he’s just getting started with building the club’s rep for not just local bands, but national acts from rock and country to alternative. Crowley credits Breakaway General Manager Dan Muccio’s background in music management and his many contacts in the industry with the band bookings. “I think we’ve firmly planted the flag in Danvers as a great live club setting, and bands and their agents have been taking notice,� said Crowley. “I hope to see major national acts stop in for either an intimate club show during their major stadium tours or solo acoustic shows. It’s all waitand-see.�

MIRROR IMAGE: Maurice “Mick Jagger� is shown on stage performing The Rolling Stones’ songbook. The Stones tribute band The Blushing Brides will be bringing their 40th anniversary tour to the Breakaway Music Hall stage on April 20.

Crowley has also planted the seeds for the local music scene by offering up the Music Hall stage for local performers to play with a professional musician, Brian Maes and his band on Tuesday Open Mic nights.

Budding musicians of all ages can work on their chops by signing in at 6:30 pm and jam with the pros. “I want to give the local musicians an opportunity to play – kind of like giving back to the musical community, said Crowley. “Maybe someday they can return with their own band or as a solo act and get paid as a professional. I can say

‘I knew them when they first played at Breakaway’, he said with a smile.

If fans of rock, metal, alternative grunge and country can’t see the real thing, they can come to Breakaway to see the next best thing. Judging from the packed parking lot every weekend, music fans love it.

Malden YMCA begins new session of LIVESTRONGŽ he Malden YMCA, a provider of the nationally recognized LIVESTRONGŽ at the YMCA program, will begin a new session of the program at the end of this month. Launching in early 2016, the free 12-week physical activity and well-being initiative helps people affected by cancer reach their holistic health goals. Additionally, programs like LIVESTRONGŽ at the YMCA are part of the Y’s overall commitment to help can-

T

cer survivors recover in a safe and supportive environment.

A no-cost membership to the Malden YMCA is included for the duration of the program.

LIVESTRONGÂŽ at the YMCA is an evidence-based program based on best practices for cancer survivor exercise. The goals of the program are to empower adult cancer survivors to improve functional capacity and to increase their quality of life through an or-

ganized program of fitness and strength offered in a supportive, small-group setting.

In 2016 there was an estimated 15.5 million cancer survivors in the United States – those living with, through and beyond a cancer diagnosis. That number is expected to increase to 20.3 by the year 2026. Historically, health-care providers instructed cancer

Finance Committee approves preservation projects

By Barbara Taormina he Finance Committee reviewed the eight projects recommended by the Community Preservation Committee (CPC) this week and put one proposal on hold until more information about the cost of the project is available.

The projects came with the endorsement of Mayor Gary Christenson, who wrote to City Council President Jadeane Sica to urge the City Council to approve the CPC’s recommendations. “The projects touch on a wide array of areas that are important to our community,” wrote Christenson. “From parks, to the library to arts, these projects will help continue to move our city forward.”

All the projects have funding in line from other sources, and Finance Committee members did not hesitate to approve the spending for six of the proposals. The city’s community preservation fund is supported by a 1 percent surcharge on property taxes and an annual contribution from the state’s Community Preservation Trust Fund, which varies from year to year.

T

Finance Committee members approved the $5,300 project from the Friends of High Rock for signs, trails, a picnic area, benches and a flagpole at the 6.4 acre site of conservation land. Mason Burne from Scout Troop 603 will design the trail for his Eagle Scout project.

The Malden Library’s request for $154,364 for work on the city archives was also approved. The project includes the creation of a climate-controlled storage area, renovations to the public research room, creation of a public exhibition space and the digitalization of early town records. The library is contributing $51,000 in in-kind services and supplies and grant money toward the project.

The Malden Redevelopment Authority’s proposal for $45,000 to plan and partially design a major overhaul of Trafton Park was also approved. The money will also cover three community meetings to gather input from residents about the future of the park. Ward 6 Councillor David Camell and Councillor-atLarge Stephen Winslow each contributed $2,500 of their

mitigation funds towards the project.

Finance Committee members approved $63,022 to expand the city’s community garden and construct two more gardening spaces, which will add 50 more individual beds.

The project will also be supported with $26,978 in Community Development Block Grant funding.

ARTLine was also approved for $40,643 for its work at the David FitzGerald Park on Exchange Street and a planned “pocket Park” at Ferry and Centre Streets. The two projects are hubs along Malden’s ARTLine, which has plans for murals and sculptures in downtown Malden and along the Northern Strand Community Trail. The project is also being supported with community donations, $25,000 in state funds and $15,000 from the Community Development Block Grant.

The Finance Committee also approved $4,220 for ongoing work to improve the landscaping at the World War I Memorial at Devir Park.

Tim

ayor Christenson recently announced that in response to resident feedback, the City will be adding an additional five weeks of yard waste collection in 2019. In previous years, the standard was for 12 weeks of curbside yard waste collection. This year, it will be increased to 17. “We appreciate that residents are working to keep up their properties and the increased collection is evidence

M

of that.� said Mayor Christenson. “Upkeep of property not only helps drive up home values, it also has a positive impact on the whole community.�

In accordance with the contract with the City’s trash hauler JRM, yard waste pickup has traditionally been 12 weeks per year. Last year the City altered the schedule by limiting summer pickups in favor of increased collections in the fall.

By and large, resident feedback called for increased collection in the summer while also continuing with the extended fall pickups. “We heard our residents on this issue and that is why we decided to add the additional five collection weeks,� said Christenson.

Councilor rolls out barrel proposal lifelong resident of our beloved City of Malden I applaud Councilor Matheson as to proposing to overhaul Malden’s antiquated PAYT. This Tax was shoved down the throats of the taxpaying residents well over 10 years ago. The council at the time was browbeaten by our former Mayor who in turn sold out the residents of Malden. For this Tax. JRM hauling is to this day still holding the taxpayers of Malden hostage

A

with the 15-year contract the council signed. And our former mayor agreed to. This has been debated time and again as to what to do with this Tax. Finally, we see A glimmer of hope with this proposal. Councilor Condon if need be call JRM in and either renegotiate or call the city solicitor and cancel the remaining yrs.

The PAYT is antiquated. How about passing the cost on to all these high-rise apartments

that dwarf our city? The deep pocket owners. Not the working homeowners who constantly are being hit with a fee after fee. Bag fee after bag fee.

Enough already. Let's make this happen. And if JRM refuses to work with the city bar them from future contracts. Also, Malden City Council needs to be more transparent. It is 2019.

Thank you, Kevin Larson

Malden’s Central Fire Station celebrates 100th anniversary of opening he Malden Fire Department invites members of the public to attend a ceremony marking the 100th Anniversary of the Grand Opening of Malden's Central Fire Station on Salem Street at the corner of Sprague Street on Sunday, March 31 from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. Following the March 31 ceremony, attendees will be invited to enjoy light refreshments and tour the building to view recent upgrades.

On June 13, 1918, Mayor Charles Blodgett met with the Board of Aldermen for the final approval to move forward with the project to build a new central fire station. The cost for the entire project was estimated at $91,532.62, which included the purchase of land from the family of Phineas Sprague in the amount of $16,000. A home at the building site was relocated to another part of the property owned by the family. It was later reported that the entire project cost $100,000.

At 8:30 p.m. on August 29, 1918, a ceremonial cornerstone was laid at the groundbreaking event in front of an audience of hundreds, including residents and elected and city government and fire officials. The ceremony was presided over by Mayor Blodgett and Fire Commissioner John Hannan. Also offering remarks were Chairman Burton Dewar of the Board of Aldermen and President Fred Newcomb of the Common Council. A time capsule was placed into the cornerstone containing, among other things, a photograph of Mayor Blodgett, his inaugural address, recommendations of the mayor and finance committee for 1918, rules and a manual of the fire department, an official silver badge of the fire department, newspapers containing a description of the project with pictures, coins of the 1918 mint, the fire department roster, a

T

list of members of the building commission and a list of all the firemen serving “under the colors” in World War I. On Monday evening, March 31, 1919, thousands turned out for the dedication of the newly built “modern colonial brick” fire station. The Opening Ceremonies included three hours of entertainment with dancing, readings and a band that played patriotic selections, including “Over There” and the “Star-Spangled Banner” in honor of the firemen who were serving overseas in World War I. Remarks offered by Mayor Blodgett, Commissioner Hannan and others heaped praise upon the individuals who served on the building commission as well as the contractors on the beautiful new station. The station was equipped with a signal system offering greater security to residents, had offices for the chief and commissioner, a modern community/ ward room on the main floor and a voting booth where ward residents would cast their ballots.

“I am proud to take part in these exercises which gives Malden a modern fire station… the city has a station that will take care of the city’s needs for many years to come,” said Commissioner Hannan in his remarks. The new building replaced the central fire station originally built in 1874 that was located on Main Street on the site that later became the throughway of Exchange Street.

Over the past few years firefighters assigned to the Central Fire Station spent many hours working to remodel and update the building. In cooperation with the Mayor’s Office, Building Commissioner and Public Facilities, Malden Firefighters have provided the skill and labor to ensure this building will continue to provide service to our city for many years to come.

plans to borrow the money to complete the project and repay the loan with additional preservation funding in the upcoming years. Finance Committee members acknowledged that there is some opposition within the community to artificial turf and voted to recommend that the city hold a community meet-

ing to discuss natural vs. artificial turf fields.

A final request for $75,000 towards a $300,000 improvement project at Fellsmere Park was tabled so that the committee could gather more information about additional funding and the cost of installing riprap boulders along the edge of the pond.

Season 34, Week 10, “End of regular season�*

4th quarter showcased just 6 points total. But it was all by free throws as the Sonics went 4-4 from the line & Bullets went 2-2. That was it!

Saturday, March 9 Game 1 – Celtics 62, Kings 60 It took 10 weeks to play their 1st game against each other & it was a good one.

The game came down to the wire as expected & as we approach St. Patrick’s Day, Ari Cohen’s last-minute shot ended the game with luck for the MNBL Irish Emerald.

The game’s high scorer was

S. Cherenfant with 35 and the above-mentioned A. Cohen with 10. Kings did everything they needed to, except finish with the lead. Quarter breakdowns: up 4, tied, up 2, lose by 2. Great shooting from J. Song led the way with 19, & M. Cherif had a strong 17 in this long awaited faceoff battle.

Game 2 – Sonics 41, Bullets 39

Spoilers appeared at our 2nd & last game today – as the Sonics spoiled the chances “temporarily� for the boys in blue to lock up a playoff spot; the 5-man squad once again were led by D. Philippe (21) and J. Sorrano (16). Day 1’s shooters in this one were B. Chen (16) and J. Kelley (12).

We also witnessed something the MNBL has never seen before – not the fact that the

Sunday, March-10 Game 1 – Bullets 56, Kings 54 Up 9 at the end of 3, you figure you should be able to hold on? Trade off baskets?

NOT in the MNBL as the Bullets bounced back literally in an impressive way to finish with a solid 22-13 edge in the 4th quarter & locked up the 4th slot in the madness with this Win. A. Jonassaint led the way with 20, and J. Mei helped with 12; the Kings had no excuses for being undermanned, as were the Bullets in a 6 vs 5 matchup. They just didn’t show up to avenge yesterday’s tough loss. Who did show up were S. Tiken with 19, D. Bono with 15 and

M. Cherif with 10.

Game 2 – Sixers 44, Hawks 36 They say you should practice free throws as much as possible & that held true in this one as the Sixers win by 8. The more impressive or unimpressive stat, you can say, was the Hawks F.T. shooting results by game’s end. Sixers got a very nice game from possible “Rookie of the Year� candidate M. Lopes with 17 & the league’s leading scorer as well as possible “MVP� candidate R. St. Jean with a surprising 11. Back to the Red ’n’ Yellow, who went 4-17 from the line & actually outscored the Sixers (10-7) in the final frame.

Fell victim once again, as only J. Ling was the only one to hit double digits with 11.

Game 3 – Lakers 47, Sonics 17

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 15, 2019

Looking back at a former Malden great, Carroll Lowenstein MHS Class of 1947, Harvard ’52, named Harvard Football Captain 69 years ago

By Steve Freker e’s a fixture at every biannual Golden Tornado Club Hall of Fame event, and over 70 years after receiving his Malden High School diploma, Carroll Lowenstein still has the Blue and Gold in his heart.

Lowenstein was also a former standout quarterback for Harvard University, and who would have thought a record he set in the 1953 season, 65 years ago this past fall, would still stand up! Lowenstein, who turns 88 this year, is a Golden Tornado Hall of Famer, inducted in the charter class of 1987.

He was a star quarterback in the 1940s, just after World

H

War II, a member of the Malden High School Class of 1947 who played in the 1944-1946 fall seasons.

After a year of postgraduate study, Lowenstein began studies at Harvard in the fall of 1948, where he was a member of the Class of 1952. After a great junior year as starting quarterback, he was elected captain of the 1951 team for his senior year, but was only able to appear in one game his anticipated senior year due to military commitment. Lowenstein did return to play after his military service.

In his junior season of 1950, Lowenstein completed 61 of 129 passes for 910 yards and

Lowenstein, who weighs a mere 150 pounds, was the smallest but one of the best forward passers in the Ivy League in 1950, completing 61 tosses for a total of 910 yards. (Getty Images)

Reminiscing at the Malden-Medford Rotary Luncheon at Thanksgiving were, from left, Medford High School Athletic Director and Mustang Hall of Famer Bobby Maloney, Medford HS ’85, and Golden Tornado Hall of Famers Carroll Lowenstein, Malden HS ’47, and MHS Athletic Director Charlie Conefrey, Malden HS ’97. (Steve Freker Photo)

eight touchdowns, according to a Nov. 29, 1950, Harvard Crimson article announcing his captaincy. “Used exclusively on offense, Lowenstein started the season as quarterback in Coach Lloyd Jordan’s winged-T attack, shifting to left halfback midway in the year when the Crimson took up the single-wing,” the article explained. The Golden Tornado Hall of Famer also did the punting for the Crimson, as he had formerly performed for Malden High.

He returned to play after his military service and played in the 1953 season. That is the year he set a single-game pass-

ing record that still stands to this day, though three Crimson players have tied it since. Lowenstein threw five touchdown passes in a 42-6 rout of visiting Davidson on Halloween, October 31, 1953.

Though no one has broken the record, three other players have tied the mark, including twice in the 2011 season by two different players. It also came, remarkably, on back-toback weeks. Colton Chapple threw for five TDs on just 176 yards in a 42-3 win over Bucknell on Oct. 15, 2011, coming in for an injured Collier Winters, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury. The very next

began – hitting 3 big shots from deep in a row & locking down a much-needed, confidence-boosting victory, as they will play the Lakers in the 1st round next Saturday. J. Song had the gamehigh of 26 – and yet another solid performance from S. Tiken with 15 and the sometimes brilliant A. Chen adding 12 of his own. And some monster boards from J. Chan helped seal the Win. The Celtics, who just 2 days ago were 2 pts. better than the Kings, were led by the 2-day-ago hero A. Cohen with 18; S. Daponta had 17 and possible “MVP” candidate S. Kelley added 13 in this exciting back n forth contest.

Game 2 – Sonics 45, Hawks 39 Hawks played a lot better

today, as they tried to get that season-long monkey off their back and end positive. Fell just shy in a winnable game, as they actually outscored the Sonics (21-19) in the 2nd half.

They just needed a lil more help, as only J. Ling (15) and A. Nguyen (12) doubled up their points. The Sonics, who close out a tough season, can’t be to blame with all that has happened this season, as they were basically playing with 4 or 5 all year. D. Philippe (21) and J. Sorrano (13) were the 2 consistent positives for this team, down the stretch.

Game 3 – Sixers 52, Bullets 47 One team with a good win to end the year – one team with bad timing as they continue the year. After a big win yesterday, the Bullets let this

one get away to end the regular season. Bullets B. Chen hit 4 deep 3’s and ended with 19 as A. Jonassaint went 5-7 from the line and had 13 to close it out. Despite the loss ‘All 8 Bullets’ scored in the game. The Sixers, who ended the season playing their best ball, moved the ball quite well to end the regular season on a 3-game win streak.

A. Baires (15), R. St. Jean (14) and M. Lopes (13) carried the squad today.

BASKETBALL | FREE PAGE 8 Another 6 on 5 game. Big difference that made this game’s outcome what it was?

The purple moved the ball around well & as a result, all 6 Lakers got in the box scores & barely 3 made it for the Sonics. D. Philippe was the 1 bright spot this day with 14.

On the other side, it was W. Johnson & J. Baptiste with 12 & 10, respectively, in this one-sided contest, to end the weekend’s games & solidify a 2nd-place Lakers’ finish.

Monday, March 11 Game 1 – Kings 71, Celtics 59 – OT Kings turned it up in OT as J. Song had a heck of a game, especially once the 5th frame

week, Winters returned to action and came in to accomplish the same feat, throwing for a whopping 403 yards and five touchdowns in a 56-39 shootout win over rival Princeton.

Just this past season, Lowenstein’s record first set 65 years ago in 1953 was tied once again when Harvard QB Tom Stewart connected on 15 of 26 passes for 393 yards and a record-tying five TDs in a 2-18 win over Columbia on November 3, 2018, at Harvard. As fate would have it, all three of the record-setting and record-tying five-touchdown performances took place in Cambridge at Harvard Stadium.

Lowenstein recently attended the annual pregame luncheon hosted by a joint Malden Rotary Club and Medford Rotary Club group and was in good spirits, asking about his former Golden Tornadoes team and how it might fare in Game #131 this past Thanksgiving Day game against Medford. Although he could not commit to the game, due to the forecast of record-low temperatures, which all came true with the thermometer hovering around 15 degrees, “I will be there in spirit if not in person, rooting for Malden,” Lowenstein told those around him at the luncheon.

Malden did come through for the Golden Tornadoes legend in a 28-24 win on a frigid holiday, and the coaches and administration are looking forward to the next time they run into the legendary Carroll Lowenstein.

City considers MBTA plan for better bus stops

By Barbara Taormina

he city is reviewing a plan to make MBTA bus stops safer, although it may cut into the already limited amount of available parking in several neighborhoods.

Councillor-at-Large Steve Winslow presented a list of stops targeted for upgrades at this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Council meeting. Winslow, who along with Councillor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria has been working with MBTA and city officials on the safety measures, explained that none of the stops on the list will be moved or changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about better demarcation of bus stops,â&#x20AC;? said Winslow, adding that the MBTA plans to install new signs at the front and the rear of the stops. There would no parking, or restricted parking, between the signs.

DeMaria, who called the

T

plan a sign maintenance project, said the aim is to allow buses more space to move in towards the curb to make boarding easier and safer for passengers and particularly for disabled riders. The plan is part of the MBTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Better Bus Project, which is meant to make bus service more responsive to the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing demographics. Better busses are part of the MBTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $8 billion modernization plan, which also includes work on subway fleets, tracks, signals and switches.

Officials have proposed new sets of signs for the bus stops at the following locations: * 1236 Eastern Ave. * 172 Bowdoin St. * Bryant Street at Harvard Street * Cross Street at Pratt Street * Eastern Avenue at Phillips Court * Ferry Street at Centre Street

Mystic Valley Elder Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; theater event to be held May 18 ystic Valley Elder Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual theater event, a presentation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Million Dollar Quartet,â&#x20AC;? the smash hit and rocking true story of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins coming together for one of the greatest jam sessions ever, will be held Saturday, May 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the Greater Boston Stage Company in Stoneham.

* Highland Avenue at Charles Street * Hunting Street at Coleman Street * Lebanon Street at Valley Street * Main Street at Brown Terrace * Salem Street at Lebanon Street * Salem Street at Maplewood Street * Salem Street at Richardson Street * Washington Street at Clifton Street While councillors supported the goal to make the stops safer for residents, especially those who use wheelchairs,

they also had concerns about the number of parking spaces that would be eliminated as part of the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My only concern is that you are removing 42 parking spots,â&#x20AC;? said Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora, who urged city officials to reach out to businesses that will be affected by the change.

Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon warned that the plan to eliminate parking spaces would create a problem on Highland Avenue.

Several of the stops would take up a stretch of 90 feet for busses to move in and out.

Ward 6 Councillor David Ca-

/(*$/ 127,&(

mell questioned the need for that amount of space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ninety feet is what they want, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what they need,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Winslow said it may be possible ease the impact by restricting parking during rush hours but allowing it at other times of the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing to think about is, hundreds of people are using these bus stops,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenging thing.â&#x20AC;?

The city plans to reach out to residents and businesses that will be affected by the loss of parking spots to better understand any problems and concerns with the proposed changes.

MHSAA 2018 Hall of Fame Gala May 4 Now accepting inductee nominations he Malden High School Alumni Association is now accepting nominations for the newest group of graduates to be inducted into the MHSAA Hall of Fame.

The MHSAA is urging alumni and the Malden community to submit nominations for those to be honored as the Hall of Fame Class of 2018.

A banquet and induction ceremonies will be held Friday May 4, at Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Function Hall in Malden.

CITY | FROM PAGE 1 city can do much better. In keeping with this, we offer a supremely qualified candidate with the education, experience and command of the issues to move Malden in a better direction FOR the People.â&#x20AC;?

Over the past 8 years Malden residents paid more and got less.

Taxes, fees and fines are at record highs, and in some cases very unfair. Street sweeping fines were doubled and aggressively enforced where no signs exist to inform well-intentioned residents when parking is prohibited. This practice is deceptive, unfair and unlawful in other communities.

Though our City Council unanimously opposed this practice, their call was simply ignored by the Mayor for years while residents were taken advantage of.

Unlike our residents, apartment developers got more and paid less. Through the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts, one developer was the lucky recipient of a $2 million tax gift, while another was given exclusive site control over Malden Hospital and told to model it af-

to MHSAA, P.O. Box 47, Malden, Ma., 02148, or emailed to Diane Lind (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;54) at dlind420.@ verizon.net.

Th e purpose of the Hall of Fame is to recognize MHS alumni for exceptional achievement in their chosen careers and/or for their outstanding contributions to the Malden community and beyond.

The final nominees were chosen by a special Hall of Fame Selection Committee.

To be considered, and to help the selection committee make its decision, all applications must be complete with a brief narrative expanding on the specific qualities and achievements of the nomi-

nees.

MHS alumni are eligible to be nominated to the Hall of Fame 10 years after graduation.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inductees will be selected from the following categories: arts, business, community service, education, government, media, military, sciences, technology, or other.

If you have questions you may call Diane Lind at 781944-1368.

The Hall of Fame was founded in 2014 by the MHSAA to celebrate exceptional accomplishments of alumni and contributions to the school community by alumni and others.

ter a 550-unit apartment complex. Most egregiously, the Mayor remained loyal to this developer for years after the project was rejected by our own residents. The Mayor even suggested withholding funds to fix the deadly intersection of Highland/ Fellsway unless the dense development was allowed. Without question, the Malden Hospital gridlock would have already been solved if our Mayor had advocated for our residents instead of secretly negotiating to overbuild the site with his preferred developer.

This focus on apartment development continues today with no appreciation for its social costs. Apartment density impacts traffic, schools, roads, parking, and public safety, while also reducing state Chapter 70 money that our schools rely on. Despite these factors, and the opposition of our residents, as recently as October of 2018, our Mayor audaciously signed a pledge with other metro mayors committing to build another 185,000 apartments in our region. He made this pact despite

the knowledge that the vast majority of residents he is supposed to serve asked to limit apartments and population growth.

You deserve better. The City of Malden deserves better. Mathesonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign aims to prioritize our residents, and end the sweetheart deals for developers.

He will bring new revenue into Malden, and break the practice of squeezing it from our population. Maldonians have spoken loud and clear, and Matheson is determined to deliver the change they want to see.

You have an opportunity elect a Mayor that is FOR the People.

Join our movement and be part of the change that you want to see. This race is a major commitment, so we need your support to take it on. Help us reach our first fundraising goal, so we can nominate John Matheson for Mayor.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATEâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Friday, March 15, 2019

Hello Spring!

By Virginia Ruane pring is upon us and I would say we have had a pretty good winter; we had some very cold temperatures but no big storms yet. We are lucky! When I ride by Maldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fellsmere Pond, I look for kids skating or couples skating or kids playing hockey. There have been none at all. I did see ice on the pond one time only this year but not strong enough for skating. I wonder what the kids did with the new skates that Santa brought them for Christmas?

I guess they had to go to an indoor rink or put them away until next year.

The beginning of Lent, also, lets us know that spring is here. Having been brought up in a strong Catholic family, we had strict rules about Lent: no meat on Friday, fish instead. My mother followed the rules all the way. When I was at home, cooking in my own home, we seldom had fish, but if I dined out I did not mind having scallops or fried clams, but at home, macaroni and cheese became very popular. My children hated fish, but loved the macaroni. Thank heavens!

S

Another thing, we all received the spiritual benefits and health benefits of Lent if we followed the rules of sacrifice. And in my home we did. We would give up candy, soda or both. We might even give up the ice cream that we loved so much. It always made us feel better when we made these sacrifices, and we might have even lost a few pounds. Lent had and still does have good advantages, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize it until you grow older.

Now that I am old, I think back and I am so glad and grateful for the sacrifices I made when I was younger.

Sometimes, the easy way is not always the best way.

Lent and the end of winter give us much to look forward to: Easter, spring, flowers blooming and leaves on the trees. Always think positive and take the time to count our blessings and appreciate the good things in life.

Enjoy the upcoming spring, Easter, Passover, new flowers, and leaves on the trees. Happy springtime!

Councillor Winslow hosts forum on sustainable travel

By Barbara Taormina

sustainable transportation forum might sound like a wonky evening out, but next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Transporting Malden into the Future event looks like it will be not only be interesting but actually kind of fun.

Hosted by Councillor-atLarge Stephen Winslow and the First Parish in Malden Unitarian Universalist Church, Transporting Malden into the Future takes place next Thursday, March 21 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the First Parish Church on Elm Street. The forum will feature talks on the Complete Streets Movement, Arlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiment with a bus-only lane, Somervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grassroots effort to improve rail access, and other sustainable or green ideas for transportation.

Prior to the forum, there will be an e-vehicle fair sponsored

by MassPIRG in the parking lot of Beebe School from 4 to 6 p.m. Those who stop by can tour an e-bus, check out part of the fleet from Bonzer, an electric car-sharing business, and look over the latest models of e-scooters and e-

A

bicycles.

In a recent editorial in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sampan,â&#x20AC;? Winslow explained that his frustration with Maldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggle to modernize its transportation system was one of the factors that motivated him to run for a seat on the City Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I saw then and what I continue to see (with some improvement) is an approach to traffic safety and transportation that reacts to problems that could be avoided but are now so urgent that â&#x20AC;&#x153;piecemealâ&#x20AC;? solutions are used to fix the immediate crisis while the underlying problem(s) remain unsolved,â&#x20AC;? he wrote.

Winslow, who chairs the Malden Long-term Transportation Planning Study Committee, believes the city needs to find creative uses for existing resources and pursue more funding to plan for a sustainable transportation future. And he sees developing green transit options as a key responsibility of local government. Winslow will join Mayor Gary Christenson and State Senator Jason Lewis for a talk on the role of elected officials in transportation.

Jackie DeWolfe, MassDOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Director of Sustainable Mobility, will present the forumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keynote address, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sustainable Transportation and why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MassDOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Priority.â&#x20AC;?

Not everyone is cut out for public transportation or peddling across the city on the bike path. But streets clogged with cars, rush-hour gridlock, vehicle crashes, accidents with pedestrians and air infused with carbon dioxide are everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems. And everyone can be part of the fix by at least considering some use of sustainable transit options to get to where he or she needs to go.

Transporting Malden into the Future is a chance discuss sustainable transportation and imagine future transit possibilities as a community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I plan on continuing efforts to see that all Malden residents can safely and easily reach their destination, whether you drive, take the bus or train, walk, bicycle or even scoot,â&#x20AC;? wrote Winslow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope you will join me in fighting for our shared future.â&#x20AC;?

STUDY BROADCASTING INFORMAL SESSIONS OF THE SENATE Senate 38-0, approved an order requiring the Senate Committee on Rules to study and provide a report

by December 31, 2019 on the feasibility of broadcasting informal sessions online in the same manner and format as formal sessions. The report would include the estimated cost and cost effectiveness of the broadcasting; the recommended format; and additional considerations for the Senate in implementing this proposal. Currently informal sessions are not broadcast.

Informal sessions are ones in which there are no roll call votes and everything is approved or rejected on an unrecorded voice vote. However, at an informal session, a single legislator can hold up consideration of a bill until the next formal session by doubting the presence of a quorum. A quorum is when 21 members of the Senate are present. Since only a handful of legislators attend these sessions, the session would be adjourned for lack of a quorum.

Supporters said that some informal sessions are not the brief, quiet sessions that they used to be. They said major legislation is sometimes approved at informal sessions and the public should be able to watch these online.

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

Sen. Jason Lewis Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts.

Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been 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 preceding the end of an annual session.

During the week of March 4-8 the House met for a total of three hours and 5 minutes while the Senate met for a total of five hours and 12 minutes.

Mon., March 4 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:36 a.m.

How Seniors Can Stop Frustrating Robocalls Dear Savvy Senior, Is there anything seniors can do to stop perpetual robocalls?

It seems like I get five to 10 a day on my home and cell phone, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sick of it!

Frustrated Frank Dear Frank, Robocalls make up around 50 percent of all phone calls today, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only getting worse. Americans were hit with 26.3 billion robocalls in 2018, a whopping 46 percent increase from the year before. Fortunately, there are a variety of tools available today that can help you greatly reduce them.

Register Your Numbers If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already done so, your first step to limiting at least some unwanted calls is to make sure your home and cell phone numbers are registered with the National Do Not Call Registry. While this wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop illegal robocalls, it will stop unwanted calls from legitimate for-profit businesses who are trying to sell you something.

But be aware that political organizations, charities and survey takers are still permitted to call you, as are businesses youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve bought something from or made a payment to in the last 18 months. To sign up, visit DoNotCall.gov or call 888382-1222.

Home Landline Tools To stop calls on your home phone set up the â&#x20AC;&#x153;anonymous call rejectionâ&#x20AC;? option. This is a free landline-calling feature available from most telephone companies. It lets you screen out calls from callers who have blocked their caller ID information â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a favorite tactic of telemarketers. To set it up, you usually have to dial *77 from your landline, though different phone services may have different procedures to set it up. Call your telephone service provider to find out if they offer this feature, and if so, what you need to do to enable it.

Another solution is to sign up for Nomorobo, which is a free service for landline phones but only if you have a VoIP landline carrier. Nomorobo uses a â&#x20AC;&#x153;simultaneous ringâ&#x20AC;? service that detects and blocks robocalls

on a black list of known offender numbers. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t 100 percent foolproof, but it is an extra layer of protection. To sign up or see if Nomorobo works with your phone service provider, visit Nomorobo.com.

Cell Phones Tools To stop unwanted robocalls and texts to your cell phone, ask your carrier about caller ID options that help identify, filter or prevent callers that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t legitimate.

For example, AT&T provides their subscribers a free app called â&#x20AC;&#x153;AT&T Call Protectâ&#x20AC;? that has automatic fraud blocking and suspected spam warnings, and you can manually block unwanted calls. Starting this month, Verizon is offering free spam alerting and call blocking tools to their users. T-Mobile offers free â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scam IDâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scam Blockâ&#x20AC;? to combat robocalls and spam. And Sprint customers can sign up for its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Premium Caller IDâ&#x20AC;? service for $2.99 per month to guard against robocalls and caller ID spoofers.

Call Blocking Apps Another way to stop nuisance robocalls on your smartphone is with call blocking apps. These can identify who is calling you and block unwanted calls that show up on a crowd-sourced spam and robocaller lists.

Some top call blocking app for iPhones and Androids include Nomorobo (Nomorobo. com), Hiya Caller ID and Spam Blocker (Hiya.com) and Truecaller (Truecaller.com).

Nomorobo cost $2 per month, while Truecaller and Hiya apps are free to use, but offer upgraded services for $2 and $3 per month.

Spam Proof Phones There are also phones you can buy, like the Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Note, or Google Pixel phone that have built-in spam and robocall protection in place. Samsungâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Smart Call feature flags calls it suspects are spam, while Google Pixel phones have built-in spam call protection.

With this feature, users with Caller ID enabled will get a warning if a suspected spam call or robocall is received.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior. org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Savvy Seniorâ&#x20AC;? book.

Boston City FC plays at the highest level of the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) sanctioned league structure in the eight-team North Atlantic Conference of the NPSL Northeast Region and will call Harry Della Russo Stadium in Revere home for the upcoming season.

The neighboring city of Medford, where the Lions have strong ties to the local youth soccer community, will also host two regular season matches at Hormel Stadium.

managed.

The new City Council rules approved this week are meant to insure the accuracy of executive session minutes and to keep the records up to date.

Councillors agreed to have the city clerk hand deliver meeting minutes within 10 days of an executive session. Councillors will then have seven days to respond with any feedback or objections to the record. If no objections are raised, the minutes will be put on the docket for approval by the City Council at their next meeting. Nothing about the content of the minutes will be discussed.

Councillors also agreed to a new rule that requires them to meet in executive session within 14 days of requests for minutes and records. They will review the request and determine if the executive session minutes can be released.

Finally, the new rules require the City Council to meet in executive session twice a year, at the end of April and in the last week of October, to determine which outstanding executive session minutes should remain under wraps to protect the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests and which records can be released to the public.

T

the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negotiating position.

DeLaceyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request triggered questions about whether the executive session minutes from 2015 were ever formally approved by councillors, and whether the minutes that do exist are authentic. Ward 4 Councillor Ryan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley filed two Open Meeting Law complaints against the City Council with the Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. As part of the response to those complaints, the city launched a set of comprehensive reforms to the way records from executive sessions are

Loving grandfather of Nicholas, Morgan, Nolan, Brooke, Kate, Conor, Gannon, Hadley, and Ava. He is also survived by his siblings, Robert Austin and his wife Patricia of South Yarmouth, Janet Austin Faelten of North Charleston, SC, the late Jack Austin, niece Joanne Austin of Malden, and many other nieces and nephews in Ireland and beyond. Born in Stoneham, MA on January 6th, 1939, to the late Christopher "Eddie"

Paul was a lifelong Malden resident, and a graduate of Malden Catholic High School '56.

Following an honorable discharge, he went on to obtain his B.A. in Criminal Justice from Northeastern University and later his Master's Degree from Anna Maria College. Paul devoted his life to public service as a police officer for nearly 30 years. He

commenced his law enforcement career with the Malden Police, shortly thereafter, Paul joined the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) Police and ultimately retired as a Massachusetts State Trooper. He proudly served the police force in a variety of capacities; from the Blue Hills in Milton, to the boats in the Lower Basin patrolling Boston Harbor, cruiser patrol stationed from Wellington Circle in Medford, and later promoted to the Mounted Unit in Stoneham. Paul's favorite parts of the job were patrolling the beaches of Swampscott and
