Public art planned to boost
downtown economy and celebrate
Malden community
Special to The Advocate
T
he Malden community will
welcome five new murals
and one light installation piece
across downtown as part of larger
strategies to deepen connections
between residents and increase
foot traffic downtown.
The murals are funded through
state and nonprofit grants and
by local business Boda Borg. The
pieces will be installed throughout
the summer and into the fall.
Events to celebrate the new art
The Malden Recreation Dept. teamed up with the Malden High School Baseball Team and Malden
Public Schools Athletics to host a well-attended Instructional Baseball Camp for Malden youngsters
in grades 3-8. The camp was held at Richard C. Howard Park/Bob Rotondi Field on Maplewood Street
â€” supervised and staffed by Malden High Baseball coaches and players, including assistant coach
Mike Nicholson (shown above, right), Head Coach Steve Freker and players (back row from left)

installations will be announced.
â€œThese pieces advance two
key priorities for the City: boosting
economic activity by making
public spaces more welcoming
and attractive, and bringing
people together by celebrating
the identities, cultures, and stories
of Malden residents,â€ said
Mayor Gary Christenson. â€œThis
work would not be possible
without our dedicated community
partners, generous funders,
hardworking staff, and talented
artists.â€

Rev. Peter Thacher: the â€œSilver Voiceâ€ of the American
Revolution and Author of the â€˜Malden Instructionsâ€™
By Inna Babitskaya
A
mong the ministers, lawyers,
merchants and patriots
who shaped the American
Revolution, few figures have
been as historically overlooked
as Rev. Peter Thacher of Malden.
Though less famous than Thomas
Jefferson, John Adams or
Samuel Adams, Thacher played a
remarkable intellectual and moral
role during the struggle for
American independence. As the
principal author of the famous
â€œMalden Instructionsâ€ of May 27,
1776, he helped produce one of
the earliest and most compelling
declarations of independence in
colonial America.
Born in 1752 into a distinguished
New England family,
Thacher entered public life
during an era when ministers
were not only religious leaders
but also educators, political
thinkers and influential voices
in civic affairs. At only 18 years
of age, shortly after graduating
from Harvard, he became pastor
of Malden, a community
deeply involved in Revolutionary
politics.
Thacher quickly gained recognition
as a gifted speaker whose
eloquence earned him the reputation
of a â€œsilver voiceâ€ of the
Revolution. Following the Battles
of Lexington and Concord,
he delivered one of Massachusettsâ€™
most celebrated commemorative
sermons on the
Boston Massacre in March 1775.
At a moment when tensions
between Britain and the colonies
were reaching a breaking
point, Thacherâ€™s powerful words
helped strengthen patriotic sentiment
and framed the struggle
against British authority as both
a political and moral cause.
As the revolutionary crisis
deepened, Thacher became
one of the earliest advocates of
Rev. Peter Thacher
â€œInstructions of the Inhabitants of Malden, Massachusetts to their
Representatives in Congressâ€
complete independence. In early
1776, many Americans still
hoped for reconciliation with
Britain. Publicly supporting independence
remained controversial
and politically risky. It was
in this atmosphere that Thacher
helped shape one of the clearest
statements of American nationhood
yet written.
On May 27, 1776, the town
meeting of Malden adopted
the famous Malden Instructions,
directing its representatives
to support independence
from Great Britain. The document
was approved more than
a month before the Continental
Congress adopted the Declaration
of Independence on July 4.
Although formally issued by
the town, historians have long
recognized Peter Thacher as the
principal author and intellectual
force behind the text. The Malden
Instructions declared that it
was â€œthe ardent wish of our soul
that America may become a free
and independent state.â€ At a time
when independence was not yet
official policy, this was a bold and

the Eastern Massachusetts Senior
All-Star Team, representing
Team Massachusetts in the Massachusetts
Baseball Coaches Associationâ€™s
48th Eastern Massachusetts
Senior All-Star Game
on June 16 at Holman Stadium
in Nashua, New Hampshire. The
annual showcase featured many
of the top graduating baseball
players from across Massachusetts
competing against the
New Hampshire Senior All-Stars.
Despite Team Massachusetts
falling 11â€“7, Powers contributed
both offensively and defensively,
drawing a walk, collecting
a single, scoring a run and playing
center field.
The third consecutive CAC
Most Valuable Player honor further
reflects Powersâ€™ consistency,
leadership and impact on the
Mystic Valley baseball program.
Coupled with Pitcher of the Year

tails and a deep appreciation for
the world around her. In her own
words: â€œAs a person of color and a
mother raising a young family in
Malden, I bring a lived experience
into the work. â€˜Bloom Hereâ€™ ultimately
serves as both a celebration
and an invitation: a reminder
that in Malden, everyone has the
opportunity to put down roots,
flourish, and be seen.â€
â€¢ The mural â€œHearth of Maldenâ€
by Malden resident Nicolas Orellana
â€” located under the Centre
Street bridge at Malden Center
Station.
âš¬ About the Artist: Nicolas is a
Chilean architectural designer and
public artist. His work lives at the
intersection of muralism, architecture
and human experience, bringing
together art, advanced geometry
and a strong commitment to
public life. Those involved with
Maldenâ€™s youth soccer may also
know him as â€œCoach Nico.â€
â€¢ A mobile light installation by
Malden resident Clint Baclawski â€”
located in a vacant storefront in J
Malden Center, facing the Malden
Center MBTA Station, with the intent
it may move to other locations
in the future.
âš¬ About the Artist: Clint is a
contemporary artist whose work
bridges photography, light and
technology to create immersive
environments that challenge perception
and redefine space. Using
large-format film as his foundation,
he reimagines traditional
photography through the integration
of scrolling mechanics, LED
backlighting, and reflective materials
â€” producing monumental
light-based installations that
unfold across time and architecture.
This particular piece seeks to
bring a piece of the cityâ€™s past into
the present.
â€¢ The mural â€œGame Nightâ€ by
Madeline Deiters â€” located on Exchange
Street and highlighting the
Malden Gaming District.
âš¬ About the Artist: Maddie is a
contemporary mural artist whose
work invites people to pause, look
closer and feel something lasting.
She draws inspiration from
her background and experience,
and creates large-scale public artworks
that weave together realism
and a sense of the whimsical, forming
imagery that feels both deeply
rooted and quietly unexpected.
Through her murals, Maddie transforms
public spaces into places of
connection and reflection, leaving
WA, the Mayorâ€™s Office and OSPCD.
The Boda Borg mural was funded,
managed and designed by Boda

of the new murals will be installed this summer.
behind experiences that resonate
and quietly shape how a community
sees itself.
â€¢ A mural by artist-in-residence
Andres Duarte of the Mystic River
Watershed Association (MyRWA)
â€” located at the Malden Senior
Center/Teen Center building.
The artist designed the mural
with help from an intergenerational
group of Malden seniors
and teens. The project is funded
by MyRWA, which selected the
artist and worked with the Mayorâ€™s
Office, the Office of Strategic
Planning and Community Development
(OSPCD), the Senior Center
and the Teen Center on this
project.
â€¢ The mural â€œThe Next Adventure,â€
which was created for Boda
Borg by Street Theory Collective
Artist in Residence Michael Talbot.
Inspired by curiosity, exploration
and the spirit of discovery, the
artwork invites visitors to embrace
new challenges and experiences
while reflecting the immersive
energy that defines Boda Borg.
The project is part of Street Theory
Collectiveâ€™s ongoing commitment
to supporting artists through
meaningful public art opportunities,
led by Rob â€œProblakâ€ Gibbs, Director
of Artist Development and
Residencies.
The projects continue efforts
led by the Mayor and OSPCD to
strengthen community bonds and
support local businesses through
creative investment. This year the
Mayor and OSPCD have proposed
a series of economic development
policy changes, including changes
that make it easier to start a business
in Malden. In addition, MassDevelopment
recently selected
Malden for a competitive economic
development program that kicks
off next month.
At the same time, the City of Malden
has prioritized bridging divides
and strengthening community
ties through its Community
Connections program, which has
funded events: the Malden Farmers
Market, cultural festivals and
other celebrations, activities and
upgrades. The second year of this
program begins in July.
â€œWe can make our community
vibrant, beautiful, and representative
of the power of the Malden
community,â€ said OSPCD Director
Alex Pratt. â€œThe result will
bring Malden residents and visitors
alike to an exciting and welcoming
downtown and strengthen
the character that makes Malden
stand out.â€
Funding: The two murals at the
MBTA station and the mobile light
installation were funded through
a state earmark secured by State
Representative Steve Ultrino and
made possible through the partnership
of the MBTA and J Malden
Center; the Exchange Street mural
was funded by the New England
Foundation for the Arts and made
possible with support from Boda
Borg. The Senior Center/Teen Center
mural was funded by MyRWA
and designed through a collaboration
with seniors, teens, MyRMALDEN

revolutionary statement.
The greatness of the Malden
Instructions lies not only in their
timing but also in their intellectual
quality. The document combines
constitutional reasoning, legal argument,
moral conviction and
emotional appeal in a remarkably
sophisticated manner. Unlike
many local resolutions of the period,
it presents a carefully structured
case explaining why separation
from Britain had become
both necessary and justified.
The Instructions begin by affirming
the colonistsâ€™ former
loyalty to Britain. They then describe
British violations of colonial
rights and liberties, explaining
how tyranny had destroyed
the constitutional relationship
between ruler and subject. Finally,
they conclude that independence
had become the only
honorable and practical solution.
This progression closely resembles
the structure later employed
in Jeffersonâ€™s Declaration of Independence:
prior loyalty, grievances,
moral justification and declaration
of separation. For this reason,
the Malden Instructions are
widely regarded as one of the
clearest intellectual precursors to
the national Declaration.
Thacherâ€™s achievement was
particularly significant because
he successfully combined sophisticated
political philosophy
with the voice of ordinary citizens.
Unlike the Declaration of
Independence, which emerged
from a gathering of national
leaders, the Malden Instructions
arose from a democratic New England
town meeting. The document
speaks with both literary elegance
and popular legitimacy.
Equal ly impor tant was
Thacherâ€™s ability to frame political
resistance in moral and religious
terms. Like many revolutionary
ministers, he viewed liberty
not merely as a political right
but as a moral principle grounded
in natural law and human dignity.
His sermons and writings
helped ordinary citizens understand
independence not as reckless
rebellion but as a righteous
defense of lawful freedom.
The patriot clergy played a crucial
role in shaping public opinion
throughout New England,
and few ministers contributed
more effectively than Peter
Thacher. Through his preaching,
public leadership and political
writing, he helped transform
dissatisfaction with British rule
into support for American independence.
Although
the national Declaration
of Independence remains
the Revolutionâ€™s most famous
political document, the Malden
Instructions occupy a unique
place in American history. They
demonstrate that the movement
for independence did not originate
solely among famous political
leaders in Philadelphia. It
also emerged from local communities
whose citizens debated
liberty, government and national
identity.
Today, the Malden Instructions
stand among the most important
historical treasures of Malden
and are one of the most significant
municipal political documents
produced during the
Revolutionary era. They remind
us that American independence
was shaped not only by generals
and presidents, but also by ministers,
town meetings and ordinary
citizens determined to defend
their freedoms.
At the center of this achievement
stood Rev. Peter Thacher
â€” minister, patriot, gifted orator
and author of a document
that articulated the American demand
for independence before
independence officially existed.
His contributions deserve recognition
alongside those of the
better-known architects of the
Revolution, for he helped create
the intellectual and moral foundations
upon which the United
States was built.

on the Council docket at its May 16
meeting. At that meeting, Councillor
Taylor first proposed a moratorium
on building or creating data
centers here while the city â€œstudies
environmental and infrastructural
impacts.â€ Councillor Taylor also
sought to have the Malden City
Council and Planning Board collaborate
on defining a â€œdata centerâ€
for the city of Malden, as well as
exploring a zoning amendment to
restrict establishment of the same.
At present, data centers are most
often associated with the growing
impact of the artificial intelligence
(AI) industry. According to
online reports, â€œdata centers are the
physical infrastructure that makes
AI possible. While traditional data
centers (as well as â€˜cloudsâ€™ host
websites and store photos, AI data
centers are specialized, high-performance
facilities that process,
train, and run the complex machine
learning models driving todayâ€™s
AI applications.â€
Potential deleterious side effects
of data centers, particularly on
densely populated communities in
the greater Boston region like Malden,
have led local municipal bodies
to initiate responses, such as
Councillor Taylorâ€™s proactive push,
ing the potential for data centers
from a statewide perspective. Just
last week, at a press conference on
Thursday, Gov. Healey announced
Massachusetts will not accept applications
for data center tax incentives
until further notice. â€œData centers
can support innovation and
economic growth, but if developers
want to build in Massachusetts,
they need to first demonstrate that

which resulted in final Council action
in exactly one monthâ€™s time.
Similar action is either underway
or has been completed in nearby
communities by those municipal
legislatures in Everett and Somerville.
According to online reports,
AI-focused data centers require
â€œmassive amounts of energy â€” primarily
electricity â€” and water, to
operate properly.â€ Should this energy
and water be drawn from local
grids, it would greatly strain both
electricity and water sources in a
community like Malden.
In addition to local moves, like
Maldenâ€™s, to address potential
data center growth, Mass. Governor

Room 105 at 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, July 22, 2026 on the
petition of Central Place Apartments LLC (Permit Application

granted in Case # 17-01 under Title 12.12.030 and 12.28.010.E

they can do so without driving up
costs or harming our communities,â€
the governor said.
Due to a number of determining
factors, such as high energy
costs, state environmental regulations
and a paucity of undeveloped
space, Massachusetts has
not been a major destination in
the national rise of data centers.
State officials are also in the midst
of broad policy discussions about
ways to reduce overall high energy
costs.
Regarding guiding principles
that she said her staff is working
on for data centers, Governor
Healey said in a recent interview:
â€œYou canâ€™t suck energy off the grid
and hurt other ratepayers, and you
canâ€™t do harm to our environment,
especially when it comes to water.â€
Malden Planning Board Report Supporting Zoning Amendment
Establishing Moratorium on Data Centers in Malden
PETITION. The petition is
made under Â§12.32.050; the
City Council is petitioner; and
Ward 5 Councilor Ari Taylor is
the sponsor. For full text of proposed
amendments, see attached
petition (CCP 276/2026).
SUMMARY of PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS.
1. Use Category and Use Regulations
(Â§12.12.030). The proposed
amendments establish a
new business use category, Data
Centers, and prohibit this use in
all zoning districts. Currently, this
use would be classified under
the business use category, retail
services. By establishing a category
for this use, the amendment
will preclude classification
of this use as retail services or another
type/kind of use.
Note 1: If use regulations are
not ordained as proposed and
less restrictive regulations are
proposed to allow this new use
by right, by special permit, by
site plan review, those may be
considered covered by the current
notice; however, another
petition and noticed public
hearing will be necessary to
amend the ordinance to establish
dimensional controls and
parking and loading requirements
for this new use.
2. Definitions (Â§12.32.060). The
proposed amendments establish
a definition for Data Center:
â€”Data Center: A building, or
part thereof, which has a principal
use to house computers
and/or servers, data storage systems,
networking systems, and/
or computing resources, that
are used to process, store, manage
and/or disseminate data.
3. Certificates & Permits
(Â§12.32.030). The amendments
establish a moratorium on permitting
Data Centers.
a) Duration of moratorium:
May 22, 2026 â€“ September 8,
2027 (estimate - depends on
enactment date)
(â€œcommencing first date of
publication of the public hearing
[notice] for this ordinance
amendment and ending one
year from the date of final enactment
of this amendmentâ€)
b) Purpose: â€œThe foregoing
moratorium is imposed to allow
the City time to undertake studies
and obtain resident input on
the impacts that Data Centers
may have on the infrastructure,
environment, health, and economy
of the City and community,
and to consider amendments to
the ordinance.â€
APPLICATION and EXEMPTIONS:
The amendments will apply
to new construction and new
use/occupancy of existing buildings,
unless exempt by City ordinance
(Â§12.28.010); the express
language of the amendment;
state law (M.G.L. c. 40A, Â§6), which
exempts the subject of a building
permit or special permit issued
before the first publication of notice
of the public hearing (May 22,
2026); or the state Permit Extension
Act (Section 280 of Chapter
238 of the Acts of 2024).
Note 2: The City is unaware of
any existing data centers and
there are no approved or proposed
projects.

Savvy Senior
by Jim Miller
How to Use AI Safely and
Protect Yourself from Scams
Dear Savvy Senior,
I keep hearing about AI in the news
and how itâ€™s being used in scams. Iâ€™m
not very tech savvy and find it confusing.
What should I know to protect
myself?
--Cautious Senior
Dear Cautious,
Youâ€™re not alone. Many older
adults are asking the same question.
Artificial intelligence, or AI,
is becoming part of everyday life,
from smartphones and internet
searches to banking and customer
service. Itâ€™s also making scams
more convincing and harder to
spot, which is why a basic understanding
helps. The good news
is you donâ€™t need to be a tech expert
to use AI safely and with confidence.
Know
the basics
AI is technology that can create
and analyze information in ways
that seem human. It can write
emails, answer questions, recommend
products, generate images
and even mimic voices. While this
can be helpful, it also means things
you see or hear online may not always
be accurate. If something
seems unusual or too good to be
true, take a closer look.
Use it wisely
A good way to get comfortable
with AI is to start small. Many
smartphones include voice assistants
like Siri or Google Assistant
that can set reminders, check
the weather or answer questions.
You can also try tools like ChatGPT
or Claude to explain a news story,
suggest recipes or help draft a
message.
AI can also be useful for everyday
tasks like comparing products,
planning trips or organizing a todo
list. Think of it as a helpful assistant,
not a decision-maker.
Keep in mind that AI isnâ€™t perfect.
It can give answers that sound confident
but may be outdated or incorrect.
For important matters like
your health, finances or legal issues,
always double-check with a
trusted source such as your doctor,
bank or a government website.
Watch for scams
Scammers are using AI to make
their schemes more convincing.
You may receive an email that
appears to be from your bank
or Medicare or a phone call that
sounds like a family member. Be
especially wary of urgent messages
that pressure you to act quickly
or warn that your account will
be closed.
Protect yourself
The most important habit for
avoiding scams is to slow down.
If you receive a suspicious call,
text or email, stop and assess the
message. Donâ€™t click links, download
attachments or respond right
away. Instead, contact the company
or person directly using a
phone number or website you
trust â€“ not the one provided in
the message.
Scammers now use AI to mimic
voices and write convincing messages.
Even if something sounds
like itâ€™s from a family member,
friend or company, verify it another
way before taking action.
Never share sensitive information
like your Social Security number,
bank details or passwords unless
you initiated the contact and
trust the source. Banks and government
agencies, including Medicare
and Social Security, will not
ask for this information by phone
or email. Urgent requests for payment
by gift card, wire transfer or
cryptocurrency are also red flags.
For added protection, use
two-factor authentication, and
keep your devices updated. You
can even consider call-blocking
services from your mobile service
provider.
If something doesnâ€™t look right,
take time to check it or ask a trusted
friend or family member before
responding.
Keep learning
Technology is always changing,
but there are ways to stay informed.
Many libraries and senior
centers offer free classes on digital
skills and online safety. Trusted
resources like AARPâ€™s Fraud Watch
Network (aarp.org/fraudwatch)
and the Federal Trade Commission
(consumer.ftc.gov) also provide
up-to-date scam alerts and
protection tips. In addition, internet
and mobile provider Cox Mobile
(cox.com/mobilesafety) offers
a library of research, tips and online
safety tools to keep you informed
and secure online.
AI may seem complicated at first,
but a little awareness goes a long
way. By staying cautious and building
a few smart habits, you can protect
yourself and make this technology
work for you.

generous donation from
Maldenâ€™s Adelaide Breed
Bayrd Foundation made possible
the installation of two
shade shelters over the picnic
tables at Trafton Park. The new
shelters provide much-needed
relief from the summer sun,
creating a more comfortable
space for caregivers to relax
while children play in the tot
lot and for families and friends
to gather, socialize and enjoy
the park. To help protect the
structures and extend their
lifespan, the canopy covers will
be removed each winter by the
Malden DPW and reinstalled
during the warmer months.
The shade shelters are the latest
enhancement to Trafton
Park, adding to the many amenities
available for residents
and visitors to enjoy.

OBITUARIES
Gorica Sokolovic
Of Malden.
Passed away
Saturday, June
27 after a brief
illness at MGH
in the company
of her loving
children. She was 80 years
old. Gorica was born in Serbia on
March 2, 1946, and she was the
oldest child of Mihaijlo and Ruzica
Rancic. She was a bright student
and had a successful career as an
engineer and professor. She was
also a prominent member of the
Federal Parliament of the former
Yugoslavia for 4 years.
She is predeceased by her husband,
Branislav Sokolovic, who she
married on 8/16/70. Together they
relocated their family to the US in
1988, first settling in Jacksonville,
FL before finally moving to Malden
in 1997. Before fully retiring,
she found a new love of working in
the customer service industry as a
server at her local Dunkin Donuts;
a job she loved immensely for its
ability to introduce her to new people
she could converse with daily.
She is survived by her son Jovan
and his wife Danijela of Malden,
her daughter Melissa and her
husband Bryan Lawless of Bedford,
NH and her four grandsons, Nicholas,
Alexander, Noah and Luke, all
of whom she adored more than
anything else in the world. She will
be remembered for her probing
but caring questions, her curiosity
