The Cannabis Licensing and Enforcement Commission was scheduled to present an update on the status of the city’s licensing process to the City Council, but City Council President Jadeane Sica announced the presentation was postponed due to a scheduling conflict. Nevertheless, the protesters, many of whom held small signs with a “no” symbol over the words “cannabis shops,” stayed long enough to make their opposition to retail marijuana clear to councillors, who will soon be holding public hearings for special permits for four applicants who were screened and approved by the cannabis commission. Councillors did hear some comments that began with Ward 6 Councillor David Camell proposing that one of his constituents, former CouncilOur 81st Year EDUCATION Next Classes DRIVER 1 Week Day Class Feb. 17 & April 20 2 Week Night Class March 16 CALL - ENROLL or Register Online 617-387-9121 HENRYSAUTOSCHOOL.COM AUTO SCHOOL E EVERETT A “Successful Key To Driving” Since 1938 Gift Certificates Available ter School graduate Eric He, who now attends UMass, also spoke briefly to the council. “They want to give five licenses, but Malden is only five square miles,” said He. “The proportion doesn’t make sense.” He said the number of security guards proposed by license applicants reflects a concern about possible crime, which is at odds with the pride the city takes in providing a safe environment for Malden youths.

But the City Council voted 5-4 against Camell’s motion with Councillors Peg Crowe, Amanda Linehan, Ryan O’Malley, Stephen Winslow and Sica voting against giving Kinnon the floor. Kinnon settled for the two minutes the council gives residents to speak during the public comment segment of their meetings. He asked councillors to pause the city’s cannabis licensing process and said there had not been enough public input or dialog with the community. He stressed that the ballot question that passed in 2016 is not the same as the law now in effect. “There’s no harm in pausing,” said Kinnon, adding that Malden is surrounded by communities that have banned retail marijuana. “I am not advocating banFormer city councillor Neil Kinnon cautioned his former peers for moving to quickly to open pot shops. ning it, but I am advocating for certain not to do more than one [license] before we find out what happens,” he said. Boston Street resident Anne Chang echoed Kinnon’s comments, adding that nobody in the community really knew what was going on with cannabis licensing. “We should be provided education about this and provided community engagement,” she said. Mystic Valley Regional Charapproved by the Cannabis Commission have since held community outreach meetings with neighbors who have raised concerns about traffic, parking, public use, availability of marijuana to minors, density of the new industry, possible increases in crime and decreases in property values.

In a detailed letter to Dan Sieger, assistant secretary of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA), members of the two groups outline what they believe are several violations of state and federal law related to the decision to install an artificial turf field at the park. Rishi Reddi, the EEA’s director of environmental justice, has responded that the agency has received the complaint and will be in touch with the groups soon about Roosevelt Park. that the park is located in a floodplain with vegetated wetland on its southern border; it falls under the jurisdiction of the state’s Wetlands Protection Act. Also, the letter emphasizes that the city received a grant to improve the park from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund. According to Massachusetts Outdoors 2006, a statewide outdoor recreation plan, land acquired by or developed with Land and Water Conservation Act funding is protected under Article 97, an amendment to the state constitution which safeguards the public’s natural resources. Any land protected under Article 97 cannot be converted from intended use without permission from the National Park Service and the EEA. In their letter, the Friends and members of the Salemwood Community stress that Article 97 protects natural resources, such as the grass field at Roosevelt Park. “We contend that removing 2.18 acres of community natural resource and replacing it with a non-living, artificial surface constitutes ‘converting from intended use’ and therefore requires permission from the National Park Service and the EEA,” they explain, adding that the city doesn’t have the necessary permission. The letter goes on to explain why EEA should deny Malden permission to convert the field. Health and environmental organizations agree that urban heat islands – city neighborhoods where human activity drives up temperatures – are environmental and public health hazards. According to a heat map developed by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, Malden has a large heat island that stretches from Waite Street south to Newland Street and from Bowdoin Street in the west to Marlboro Street in the east. A second and smaller heat island affects neighborhoods from the bike path in the north down to Eastern Avenue and from Cross Street to Linwood Street. Four artificial turf fields and Roosevelt Park are bundled together in an area one-tenth of a square mile within the city’s heat island. Artificial turf converts sunlight into heat energy and adds to extreme summertime temperatures.

Those are just some of the surprising, if not shocking, results of an online survey on commuting and transportation conducted by State Senator Jason Lewis and his staff from Dec. 18 through Jan. 8. The survey drew 790 respondents, 95 percent of whom were from Lewis’s 5th Middlesex District, which includes Malden, Melrose, Reading Stoneham, Wakefield and Winchester. The survey, which was not meant to be statistically significant, was conducted to give Lewis some direct feedback on regional transportation from constituents as the Legislature explores new ideas and options. Among those who participated in the survey, 72 percent said driving alone is a regular mode of transportation, 53 percent take the subway, 31 percent take buses and 14 percent ride a bike. Public transportation received average to low marks with 42 percent describing the state’s subways, trains, buses and ferries as fair and 44 percent rating those systems as poor. Another 10 percent said the state’s public transportation was good. As for why people don’t use public transportation, 57 percent said service isn’t frequent enough; 56 percent feel it isn’t reliable; 51 percent said it doesn’t reach their desired destination. Another 16 percent described public transportation as too expensive while 8 percent felt it was unsafe. Among the participants, 89 percent said improving bus, subway and train service should be a priority for state government; 77 percent want lawmakers to focus on reducing traffic congestion; 66 percent said reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a key concern; and 59 percent feel improvements to highways, roads and bridges should be high on the state’s to-do list. Another 52 percent feel more emphasis should be placed on improving sidewalks, bike lanes and other multiuse paths for pedestrians and cyclists. By far the most surprising responses to the survey were to proposals for raising revenue to invest in transportation. A five cent per gallon hike in the state’s gas tax was supported by 61 percent of the participants while 51 percent favored a 15 cent per gallon increase. Another 46 percent liked the idea of placing tolls on highways, 60 percent favored higher fees on ride sharing trips, and 56 percent said implementing congestion pricing is worth pursuing. Lewis also shared some of the comments from participants that reflected common themes. “I want to see an influx of funding (tax me) for public transit and I think people who insist on driving should be partially funding that solution,” suggested one individual. Another participant who felt the gas tax was a good idea because it offers an incentive to burn less fuel acknowledged that it would hurt poor people who drive more. Yet another participant suggested higher gas taxes and tolls could be counterbalanced by reducing income taxes on low-income citizens. Lewis is planning a community conversation to review the survey results and discuss solutions for the region’s transportation challenges. Anyone who isn’t on board with the 80 percent of survey participants who want higher taxes, tolls and fees may want to watch for that event and take advantage of the AUTOTECH 1989 SINCE Get Your Vehicle Winter Ready!

Malden woman indicted on alleged bank fraud and identity theft charges B OSTON – A Malden woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with an alleged scheme to embezzle more than $795,000 from her employer. Kayla Figelski, 32, was charged with seven counts of bank fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. Figelski was previously charged and arrested on Dec. 19, 2019. According to court documents, between April 2017 and June 2019, Figelski stole at least $795,000 from her employer, a law firm in Malden. Figelski allegedly forged checks to herself from her employer’s checking accounts, including conservatorship and trust accounts her employer maintained for its elderly clients and their estates, and deposited the checks into her own account, from which she withdrew the funds or directly cashed the checks. It is further alleged that to hide her scheme, Figelski modified bank statements to make it appear that the checks were written out to legitimate vendors rather than to Figelski. The charge of bank fraud provides a sentence of up to 30 years in prison, five years of supervised release and a fine of up to $1 million. The charging statute for aggravated identity theft provides for a mandatory sentence of two years in prison to be served consecutive to any 22nd Annual Triple Threat Trivia Fundraiser returns on Jan. 23 other sentence imposed, up to one year of supervised release and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain or loss.

(Photos Courtesy of Mystic Valley Elder Services) Roy of Malden received a gift card from Family Dollar for $25.00 – he replied, “I’m so happy because I know I can get 25 items! I am grateful and really appreciate it because it is the only gift I got.” ages with items ranging in price from $20 to $200. The program operates by Agero staff letting MVES know how many gifts they will pledge to shop for each year. Case managers then nominate an older adult served by MVES who they feel is in need of items for personal use and enjoyment. Since the case managers know the older adults they serve so well, they create a “wish list” of items they know they would like and use. Each wish list is unique to that individual. Employees of Agero then “adopt” and shop for Elizabeth of Chelsea enjoys her new bathrobe that was a gift from Agero. She put it on as soon as she opened it stating how “warm and cozy” it is. these older adults, collecting items on the list and ultimately fulfilling their wishes. “I am currently working with a consumer in a nursing facility helping her plan for a return to her home,” said MVES Care Manager Andrea Rosebach. “Typically, when I meet her, she is often teary, overwhelmed and very sad about her current situation and the twists and turns her life has taken. When I brought her the wonderful gift of new sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt from Agero staff, she was so surprised and grateful to receive it. Her eyes brightened as she unwrapped the present, and she said thank you many times! I was sure to let her know that the gift is from Agero staff, which is a company that cares a lot about Mystic Valley Elder Services’ consumers.” “We were so moved to see the multiple items so thoughtfully chosen to brighten the days of older adults in need,” said MVES Director of Development Jenny Vanasse. “One of our consumers asked to send a personal thank you to the Agero employee who purchased her gift (three gifts, actually). She loved her new soft robe, and wanted to compliment the employee’s taste in picking it out.” Agero is not just giving to MVES during the holidays; the organization has sponsored the annual MVES spring theater event fundraiser for more than a decade. This past spring, Agero was an Emerald level sponsor at $10,000. Since 2010, Agero has also donated more than 230 bags of nonperishable food and grocery gift cards.

If approved, the applicants will then negotiate a host community agreement with the Mayor’s Office and then apply to the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission for a state license. The Malden Cannabis Licensing and Enforcement Commission will then decide whether to grant a local retail license.

Ward 8 Councillor Jadeane Sica, who was reelected to serve a second term as City Council president, said the new term gave her a chance to look at committee assignments a little differently. Several committees are working on proposals carried over from last year, and Sica said that for that work, institutional knowledge is as valuable as new ideas. “The assignments for 2020 represent quite a bit of continuity from 2019, with some changes to make sure we bring in new perspectives,” she said. Ward 6 Councillor David Camell will continue as chair of the Finance Committee with Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon serving as vice chair. Ward 3 Councillor Amanda Linehan, Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy, Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson and Councillor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria will also serve on the Finance Committee. The Rules & Ordinance Committee will, once again, be chaired by Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora, with Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe as vice chair. Councillors Camell, Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley and Councillor-at-Large Stephen Winslow were also assigned to Rules & Ordinance. Crowe will continue as chair of the Personnel Committee with DeMaria as vice chair. Councillors Condon, Anderson and Linehan will serve as members. The Licensing Committee will again be chaired by Murphy with Anderson named as vice chair. Councillors Spadafora, Linehan and Condon were also assigned to the Licensing Committee. Murphy will continue to head up the Waterfront Access Committee; Condon will remain as chair of the Parking Review Committee; and DeMaria will stay on as chair of the Citizens Engagement Committee. The biggest change among committee assignments came with Sica’s decision to name Linehan as chair of the Malden Hospital Redevelopment Committee previously chaired by former Ward 3 Councillor John Matheson, a staunch opponent of residential development on the site. Linehan, who in the past supported the Fellsmere Housing Group’s proposal to build several hundred market-rate condos on the site, has said that her position on the redevelopment of Malden Hospital has Lewis, Donato & Ultrino announce $225K grant to improve Dartmouth Street M alden’s state legislators, Senator Jason Lewis and Representatives Paul Donato and Steven Ultrino, are applauding the announcement from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development that the City of Malden will receive almost a quarter of a million dollars in grant funding as part of the Housing Choice Communities grant program. Malden will receive $225,438 to implement Complete Streets roadway improvements on Dartmouth Street in order to increase multimodal access in the downtown area, which has seen the construction of more than 1,000 units of housing in the past five years. The work, part of a fiveyear Capital Improvement Plan, includes adjustment of utility structures, removing/resetting granite curb, reconstruction of cement concrete sidewalks, driveways, wheelchair ramps and thermoplastic line striping. The grant was announced last Thursday by Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito and Housing and Economic Development Secretary Mike Kennealy. “Economic development in Malden’s downtown continues at an exciting pace, and these accessibility and safety improvements will make it easier for people to live, work and visit downtown businesses and city amenities,” said Senator Lewis. “I’m very pleased that the state’s Housing Choice Communities program is recognizing the city’s smart development and providing support to ensure that multimodal access remains a core priority in the downtown.” “It is a credit to the City of Malden to qualify for this grant which will provide them financial resources to assist in the improvement to the infrastructure on Dartmouth Street as part of GRANT | SEE PAGE 22 We Now Offer For Your Eating Pleasure A FULL SERVICE REAL ESTATE GROUP Commercial Sales and Leasing Residential Home Sales Real Estate Consulting Apartment Rentals Real Estate Auctions Business Brokerage Personal Property Appraisals Mass Licensed Auctioneer “UBER EATS” Convenient Delivery Service Bianchi’s Pizza and Renzo’s Full Menu To Go ~ Renzo’s Entertainment Schedule ~ Wednesday: DJ George * Thursday: Smokin Joe * Friday: Billy Pezzulo Saturday: Joey Canzano * Sunday, 3 p.m. : DJ George 560 Broadway, Everett, MA 02149 | 617-512-5712 | sam@broadwayRE.com ADRIANA RESNICK DOMENICA RIGGIO SAM RESNICK Entertainment Wed.

Environmental Justice policy stresses the right of all people to live in a clean and healthy environment and calls for the equitable distribution of energy and environmental benefits and burdens. An artificial turf field at Roosevelt Park would contribute more heat to Malden’s urban heat island and create an even greater health hazard for that section of the city. Artificial turf would also decrease the amount of natural green space for residents. Malden has 192 acres of public green space within its borders. However, Ward 7, Precinct 2; Ward 6, Precinct 2; and Ward 5 Precinct 1, where Roosevelt Park is located, have a combined total of 8.5 acres of natural green space. An artificial turf field at Roosevelt Park would cut that area of public green space down to 5.9 acres. The Friends of Roosevelt Park and members of the Salemwood Community believe the additional heat from the artificial turf and the loss of natural green space to accommodate it would violate the Environmental Justice policy of equitable distribution of environmental burdens and benefits.

The distribution of Environmental Justice fact sheets and contact information for Environmental Justice organizations, easily accessible information and updates on projects for the impacted community and guidelines on grievance and appeal procedures are Environmental Justice policy directives. But according to the Friends and the Salemwood Community, “No EJ Fact Sheets nor EJ Organization contact lists have been provided. There are no local information repositories that are convenient and accessible; very little information is provided online. Freedom of Information requests are routinely ignored/delayed past the 10-day deadline. No clear guidance on applicable grievance/appeal procedures has been provided.” The final design for Roosevelt Park was presented at a community meeting at Salemwood School last year just before Thanksgiving. Mayor Gary Christenson told Salemwood School families, teachers, students and neighbors who have been fighting for a natural grass field that the city was willing to compromise and install an artificial turf field with organic infill instead of the commonly used crumb rubber fill. But for the Friends of Roosevelt Park, the Salemwood Community and others who favor natural grass, the city’s compromise failed to address major issues covered in the letter to EEA requesting the agency to issue a stop work order. Still, they have been encouraged by the community’s response. “There has been an outpouring of public support,” said Roosevelt Park Friend Stefanie Alberto. “Every day I have more people asking to be signatories on the letter.” ~ Letter to the Editor ~ (Editors Note: This letter was submitted to the mayor and city officials from the Friends of Roosevelt Park.) Friends of Roosevelt Park cite misuse of CPA funds D ear Mayor Christenson, Malden City Councillors and the Malden School Committee Members: As this New Year greets us and city leadership shapes its agendas for the upcoming year, we wish to address the renovation design for Roosevelt Park. As residents who support the concept of the Community Preservation Act (CPA), we believe the use of taxpayer dollars to remove a grass field park and replace it with plastic grass is truly a misuse of what the intent was for communities to use preservation funding. Using $1.8+ million to prepare this site for a turf field without paying for the actual artificial turf portion of the project is merely using a loophole in the Community Preservation Act. Using these funds now and bonding out for many years of future CPA funds should be brought to the voters for approval. To design and plan this project with no input from the surrounding neighbors or from the Salemwood School community seems unfair and restricted. The design process should be transparent and inclusive, especially in an environmental justice neighborhood that includes a school community which educates students who are already marginalized in society due to socio-economic status, language and race. In addition to the use of CPA funding and being inclusive of all affected parties to this renovation, we must also recognize the responsibility of the City of Malden to preserve our open green space as our community grows in population and becomes more congested. We must ask if it is fair for one section of our city to be burdened with the additional loss of green space by removing another grass park for a fifth artificial turf field which will add another heat island, remove the ability for grass and soil to filter pollutants, and to provide an area of natural grass park as a respite for the entire community to enjoy. We are certain City of Malden leadership can revisit this project design and reconsider the need for another artificial turf field by further studying park usage and league usage. The questions must be asked: Is it truly a decision that is in the best interest of Malden taxpayers to expend CPA funds in this manner without full consideration and input from the surrounding environmental justice neighborhood and the Salemwood School? And is this plan to turf the park what is going to make Malden a community leader as an urban green city which is supportive of strategies that reduce climate vulnerability by using less fossil fuels, by making an investment in maintaining green natural parks, adding more trees and thus reducing the number of heat islands and incidents of projected flooding? Malden has begun the work of creating a vulnerability plan. One of the priorities in the draft plan is to preserve our parkland with grass and tree canopies especially in known flood zones such as Roosevelt Park and the surrounding neighborhood. Thank you for your further consideration.

Now we have that extra weight we so quickly gained during the holidays. We have to get rid of it as soon as possible. While I do not have the weight problem, many do. Also, too many sweets are not good for your health, and that is the category I’m in. So good luck to everyone with their New Year’s resolutions! (Including myself.) On the last visit to my doctor, as I was leaving his office, he said to me, “Watch those sweets!” Why on earth did he have to say that? Those words stayed with me and helped me to come up with a New Year’s resolution. I would have dessert once a day – at dinnertime – none at noon. So far it is working out pretty well. It really is a sacrifice, since where I live their desserts are very tempting and delicious. That’s my 2020 New Year’s resolution, to eat only one dessert a day. Let’s see how long that lasts? Another event which, to me, signals the New Year and the plunge into the long, dark winter, is the putting away of the Christmas decorations. Recenton the closed-in front porch. People would blow their horns as they went by in approval. Now, I have a little table Christmas tree (a cute, not silver, one) and am happy as can be. When thinking of the long winter, the ice and the snow, why not dwell on the good things. February is a short month and has the best skiing, sledding and ice skating. Think ly, when I was putting my small “fake” Christmas tree away for another year, it brought back a memory I would like to share with you. This is going back about 50 years ago, when “fake” Christmas trees became very fashionable; my husband and I decided to buy a fake Christmas tree. We picked out a shiny silver, icy looking tree with beautiful, bright red bulbs. We placed it in the living room with great pride, and we were very happy with it. But when the kids saw it, they were not happy with it at all. We even had a beautiful lamp with rotating colors shining on it. But no good – they wanted their old-style tree. So, of course, we went out and bought a real tree and put the beautiful silver one WE WORK FOR YOU! * Have your car repaired by Real Manufacturer Certiified Technicians * An I-CAR GOLD CLASS SHOP Highest Certificate in the Repair Industry * Premier Insurance Co.

Levine C ongrats to newly minted City Council President Jadeane Sica as she takes over the lead council seat from outgoing prez…Jadeane Sica. Ms. Sica did an outstanding job in her tenure at the helm by the way. That is not a typo! Jadeane will begin her second straight term as City Council president – not seen in these here parts since the most honorable Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson pulled off the same feat a few years back. Only the second time this has ever occurred. Jadeane killed it as prez this past year, bringing back a sense of decorum and dignity that was missing – somewhat – in years past. Her ability to bring people of different stripes together and get (expletive deleted) done was an amazing thing to watch. She also kept everybody in check with facts and no fake news in the “wild west” or as we know it today, Facebook. Did I mention that Ms. Jadeane has deep Edgeworth roots? Her parents Edgeworth royalty. No kidding! Jadeane! My sincerest condolences on the loss of your beloved grandmother – Nancy (Caruso) Rigano – passing away on December 31st at age 87. Great quote released by the family: “Our mom finally decided her love and devotion she had given her large family was enough and she could now rest. She filled us all with the greatest lessons of life, love and family, and knows we are ready to continue her legacy of the Rigano family. She is now with all the other great moms who will be watching over their children from above. I can only say thank you mom for all you have done for us.” Wonderful remembrance. I wrote about that fabulous shot taken on Waite’s Mount that appeared on the City of Malden webpage recently. I mistakenly thought Paul Hammersley might have taken this beauty, but it turns out City of Malden Communications Director Ron Cochran took the photo. Take it away, Ron: “Believe it or not I actually shot that using my iPhone. I have the frozen toes of hiking up there to prove it. If you look at our city Facebook cover photo, it is actually a cover video. You can see the bushes blowing in the wind. I knew the photo would be spectacular that day so I rushed up and grabbed a million shots.” Merle Haggard once asked the age-old question “Are the Good Times Really Over?” Well, Larry Bird isn’t walking through those doors anytime soon, and Elvis has definitely left the building, but that does not mean the good times are over. Especially in Malden. We are witnessing a resurgence in these here five square miles like we’ve never seen before. Engaged “progressives,” blue collar lunch bucket old school Dems, and all those who defy labels have energized the populace like never before. But mostly (in my humble opinion) because of the outstanding leadership from Mayor Christenson on down – his staff (thank you, Maria Luise and Kathleen Manning Hall), his directors (thank you, Ron Hogan, Jimmy Cahill, Anthony “Chic” and Eric Rubin), and all those who choose to work in city government (thank you, Jeri Scibelli, Betty, Marie, Lillian and Lauren)! With that said, we all like to look back from time to time and reminisce of simpler, more carefree times. Malden was (and still is) a great place to grow up in. I have many of these memories.

To respond to the needs of this growing marketplace, Malden Catholic High School added a four-year STEM Certificate and three Project Lead the Way (PLTW) engineering courses to the curriculum in fall 2019. Malden Catholic is one of the only schools in the major metropolitan area to offer PLTW courses that engage students in compelling, real-world challenges that allow them to step into the role of an engineer with a problem-solving mindset and determine functional solutions. Reportedly, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important in the 21st century as we face the benefits and challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy. Also, the U.S. Department of Commerce cited that STEM occupations are growing at 17 percent while other occupations are growing at 9.8 percent, and STEM degree holders have a higher income even in non-STEM careers. “We believe that STEM curriculum and PLTW creates critical thinkers, increases science literacy and enables the next generation of trained innovators,” stated Malden Catholic Headmaster John Thornburg. “We added this challenging STEM curriculum to give our students every possible advantage and the means to become highly successful leaders as they prepare for their college careers.” “Our intention is to prepare students for the global workforce,” said Malden Catholic STEM Director Dr. Diane Perito. “We offer an outstanding foundation for students with skills in science, technology, engineering and math to help them build interest and launch a future career track that began with an MC STEM certificate,” she commented. “We recently built three new PLTW laboratories to simulate modern work environments with experiential learning space and adjacent computer labs for data manipulation. Plus, we will expand the offering to include 12 PLTW classes over the next two years.” To forge a path in the information-based and highly technological society, students need to develop capabilities in STEM at levels far beyond what was considered acceptable in the past. The Malden Catholic STEM Certificate requirements include completing four years of mathematics, four years of science, one semester of Introduction to Technology and three STEM-based elective credits, which may include AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Calculus, AP Computer Science, Intro to Computer Science with Python, Java Programming, Robotics I: Mobile Robotics, Anatomy and Physiology, and Marine Biology – along with the three new PLTW engineering courses: Intro to Engineering and Design, Principles of Engineering, and Environmental Sustainability. Students must also maintain a grade of 85 percent and above in all STEM courses. STEM activities provide hands-on and minds-on lessons for students. Beyond the classwork, the teens are required to participate in an extracurricular STEM-based club, such as the Chemistry Club, STEM Club, Model Bridge, and Robotics, for a minimum of three years. To earn a STEM Certificate, students must also participate in the STEM Innovation Fair for three separate years. This includes choosing and researching a topic of interest, conducting independent research and experimentation and presenting their findings at the STEM Innovation Fair. In February 2020, the fair will be held at Malden Catholic, and from there six students will advance to the Regional Competition held at Tufts University in March. Winners from that event will then move on for a chance to win the State Competition held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in May. The STEM Certificate can be achieved in two ways: through a standard track or in an AP/ Honors track. Students who achieve the certificate through AP/Honors are also required to take one AP course, one PLTW engineering course and a third AP or PLTW course. They are also required to obtain a qualifying score of 3 or higher on AP exams and must receive a rating of proficient or higher score on the PLTW End of Course Assessment. As an additional benefit for those who complete the STEM certificate, students can apply for “AP + PLTW Student Achievement” recognition on a College Board application and for college credits for STEM and Project Lead the Way AP courses. ׉ 7cassandra://LQco_DthZLUN_GsKbuE4EjSw60ShYgQ01txGSbxbmzE'h`̰^ P1,׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 17, 2020 Page 11 The North Shore Black Women’s Association 27th Annual Rev.

The Eagles dispatched of conference foes Blue Hills Tech, 8753, and came back two days later to defeat Minuteman, 85.5 to 63.5 – upping their record to 5-0 on the season. In the Blue Hills meet, junior Tracy Lam added another cut in the 100 freestyle, and sophomore Andy DiFiore continued his strong season with a pair of wins, including a lifetime best in the 100 back. Junior Joe Cirame also won twice – in both the 100 breast and 200 individual medley – and freshman sensation Jeremy Cheng added another state cut in the 100 fly. Senior Sam Lyon also won twice, showing his versatility by sprinting to victory in the 50 free and showing endurance and stamina en route to a win in the 500 free. “The team was tested mentally as we traveled down to Canton for our first away meet of the season,” first-year head coach Andrew DiGiacomo said. “Being out of their element we won all events and had some great swims after being in the bus for over an hour. The younger swimmers are doing a fantastic job of attacking every meet, and our upperclassmen are showing tremendous leadership by helping to guide them through the season. Very proud of all the effort here.” Back in familiar waters as Minuteman came to town, it was much of the same as freshman Armando Indresano notched his first state cut in the 50 freestyle and junior Bryant Nguyen did the same in the same event. Lyon continued to excel, turning in a lifetime best in the 200 individual medley, and seventh grader RJ Tayag, a future star, won the 100 butterfly. “By far our best meet of the season so far,” DiGiacomo said. “What was most surprising is the variety of different swimmers winning races and going best times while we are still training very hard. I am extremely proud of the toughness and excitement being shown by all the swimmers.” Malden High coed swim still unbeaten (5-0) with wins over Medford, Arlington By Steve Freker t’s all “Ws” so far for the Malden High coed swim team, which put up another Greater Boston League victory, this time over archrival Medford on Friday, January 10.

(Steve Freker Photo) By Steve Freker Coach Don Nally was waiting for a night like this since Day One of the 2019-2020 Malden High School basketball season. The 16-year Golden Tornadoes head man had seen his young team struggle early, show promise in the middle then disappear at the end – and all variations and mashups in between, as Malden had just one win to show for seven tries. Not Tuesday night. Led by a strong team effort, with no less than four different scorers in double digits and some end-to-end defensive work, Malden topped a solid Revere High team, 54-51. The win ended a five-game slide for the Golden Tornadoes and earned Nally and his troops their first Greater Boston League (GBL) win as Malden went to 2-6 overall and 1-2 GBL. Revere evened off at 4-4 overall with the loss (2-2 GBL). “It was a great effort and a team win,” coach Nally said. “We don’t have the experience or the depth to rely on just one player to carry us as we may have had in years past, so everyone has to contribute, and [Tuesday] everyone did.” Malden senior David Mervilus led the Golden Tornadoes with 13 points and was joined by freshman Anderson Joseph (10 points), junior Ali Alayan (10 points) and sophomore captain Khaydar Al-Hamdani (10 points) in the double-figures department. Senior captain Berhan Daniel added six points and senior Ricardo St. Jean scored eight points for a well-balanced attack. “That’s the type of scoring we’ve been looking for all season: spread out among our players,” coach Nally said. Malden led at every juncture, building an 11-point lead at one point in the fourth quarter (4634), but head coach Dave Leary’s pesky Patriots refused to go away. Revere cut the lead to just four (47-43) with a 9-1 run led by junior Calvin Boudreau, who scored all 11 of his points in the fourth quarter to spark the run. Revere’s Hillgow led all scorers with 14 points. ROUND-UP | SEE PAGE 14 venge with this victory after their loss in last year’s finals to the Kings. New addition C. Pegueuro & N.

Tilford M y father was a Presbyterian minister in rural northwest Alabama from 1961 to 1965. I came of age there, then left the University of Alabama with an M.A. in history in 1969. Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and Governor George C. Wallace framed the historical context of a changing south to which I returned in 2008. In retrospect, 1963 was a watershed year in my life. On June 11, 1963, I watched on the television in our den as Governor Wallace stood in the door at the University of Alabama’s Foster Auditorium to fulfill a campaign promise to physically stop school desegregation. Quixotic as this proved, given that two African American students were already registered, the gesture got him reelected three times. Later that summer, on August 28, I watched as Martin Luther King eloquently prophesized “one day right there in Alabama” black children would “be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.” Eventually, those days arrived. A month later, on Sunday, September 15, 1963, while I was in my room studying Spanish at the start of my high school senior year, my dad summoned me to the den where he had been watching professional football. A news bulletin revealed four young African American girls were killed at Birmingham’s Sixteenth Street Baptist Church when a bomb detonated under the backstairs by a women’s bathroom where they primped after Sunday School. My dad, who previously had supported racial segregation, wept. “Son, if this is ‘defending our southern way of life,’ it’s not worth it.” The next Sunday his sermon was titled “God the Father Implies the Brotherhood of Mankind.” It was not well received. Dad’s epiphany resulted in a series of sermons related to securing civil rights while abjuring violence in the process. On a January night in 1965, during my freshman year in Tuscaloosa, while dad was in Huntsville, Klansmen burned a cross on our lawn. This terrified my deaf-sincebirth mother. They also shot and killed my dog. In April, my parents moved to serve a church in Coral Gables, Florida. I remained at the University of Alabama for four more years. My father’s ministry ended two decades later as a missionary in the Cayman Islands. The bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, along with many other atrocities, were part of the warp and woof of life in Alabama during the turbulent 1960s. While a student, I heard Governor Wallace speak on campus every year at the annual Governor’s Day celebration. In 1967, his wife, the newly elected Gov. Lurleen B. Wallace, awarded me the Air Force ROTC’s “Military Excellence” medal. After I saluted her, Alabama’s real “Guvnor” standing beside her, heartily shook my hand, “Congratulations, son! Alabama is proud of you.” I nodded and smiled. Martin Luther King, Jr. masterfully used rhetoric to deliver a powerful message that he effectively coupled to imageries of repression that included fire hoses, police batons, and cattle prods against demonstrators. The arc of history moved inexorably toward justice overcoming prejudice backed by Klan violence. Change came slowly, subtly, but surely. On Monday, July 6, 1964, four days after President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law, my father, mother, and I drove to Tuscaloosa from Leighton, Alabama. A scholarship for which I’d applied required a family interview with one of the university’s deans. On the way into town dad spotted a Morrison’s Cafeteria at campus edge. After the interview, dad suggested we have lunch there before the long drive home. As we drove into the parking lot, we spotted Klan picketers in full regalia mulling around the entrance. Mom strongly urged going elsewhere. Dad grumbled, “Bozos don’t tell me where I can eat.” Those Klansmen intended to intimidate would-be patrons of any color. As we approached, I noticed a sign: “You might be eating off the same plates as coloreds.” Undaunted, dad led us into the line: where a hulking Klansman stepped in front of my father and snickered, “Y’all must be some kind of Expletive lovers.” Dad, a former collegiate football lineman, fixed that Klansman with a cold, unblinking stare and then replied in a measured and unwavering voice, “You bet.” The Klansman grunted, then stepped back. My father had become part of a changing South. With time, many white southern hearts changed. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s message of peaceful resistance moved America toward his vision, stated eloquently on August 28, 1963: “A day will come when all God’s children … will be able to join hands and sing the words of the old Negro spiritual, ‘Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.’” Today, we honor Dr. King’s memory.

In November of 2016, voters were asked to vote on Question 4, Legalization, regulation and taxation of marijuana. The question read simply “If voters say ‘yes’, Massachusetts will join Colorado, Alaska, Oregon, Washington State and District of Columba in legalizing marijuana for recreational use.” On a statewide level, the ballot question passed 53.7% to 46.3%. The margin was by far the narrowest of any of the ballot questions that year. However, as written, voters were likely of the belief that they were simply voting on legalizing the recreational use of Marijuana, unaware of the fine print that would really determine the impact of a Yes or No vote on their particular community. Like all ballot questions, the question itself only represents a summary, with the law behind it being much more complex. However, the question on the ballot should give the voters enough information to weigh the true potential impact of a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ vote on their community. There were likely many underlying elements of question 4 that weren’t well known to most voters; in fact, many local officials were understandably unaware of the nuances of Question 4 until months sometimes years later. Perhaps the most critical detail was that with a successful outcome statewide, each community would be required to allow a minimum number of retail marijuana licenses equal to 20% of the number of ‘off premise consumption’ liquor licenses that exist in that city. For Malden, this equates to five (5) retail marijuana establishments. To override that requirement, either through an outright ban or a reduction in the allowable number of stores, would require a local referendum. After the passage of the ballot question, state lawmakers made a significant change to the law regarding local control. For the 260 communities that voted in favor of the ballot initiative, a referendum would still be required to prohibit or restrict marijuana stores from opening. However, for the 91 communities that voted against the Question 4, it would require only the approval of the City Council or Board of Selectman to restrict or prohibit marijuana stores. Many questioned whether such a change runs afoul of the equal protection provisions of the state constitution. The Massachusetts Municipal Association, which represents cities and towns, called the solution unfortunate and disappointing. The group supported giving all communities the power to control marijuana through their local governing bodies. The end result is that a community such as Dedham, where the Yes votes outnumber the No votes by only 29 votes, has little local control without a referendum while Weymouth, where out of 29,000 votes the No votes outnumbered the Yes votes by only 150 votes, the local elected body would have significant control over how to introduce retail marijuana to their community. In light of the challenges with Question 4, Communities across the state continue to work to determine the will of their voters as it relates to implementing retail marijuana in their individual cities and towns. Interestingly, where subsequent referendums were held, almost without exception communities that supported legalizing recreational marijuana by a narrow margin, similar to Malden, subsequently voted to restrict if not outright ban retail sales in the same city or town. There can be only one conclusion from such a result, which is that voters didn’t fully understand the important details of Question 4 and the impact on each individual community. Local elected officials have been left in the difficult position after the fact of picking up the pieces and reconciling the will of the voters. The Malden City Council did an admirable job of drafting an ordinance that provides for a thorough and transparent process for licensing. Whether that process will result in the licensing of more establishments than the voters intended when supporting Question 4 is a question still worth answering. Consider the following wording of Question 4, which utilizes the same number of words and consider the impact on the outcome of the ballot initiative: “If voters say “yes”, recreational marijuana will be allowed and each city/ town must allow one marijuana store for every five liquor stores.” The voters deserved a greater understanding of the impact of such an important question. It’s not too late.

The city is receiving this funding at such a critical time,” said Representative Ultrino. “Malden continues to work on new developments and infrastructure improvements that will increase safety and accessibility for people who live and work downtown.” The Housing Choice Capital Grant program and the Small Town Grant Program are part of the Housing Choice Initiative, which was launched in 2017 to increase housing production by empowering municipalities to lead on local development. The Housing Choice Initiative is comprised of three components: technical assistance; the housing choice designation and access to new capital grant programs; and legislation: An Act to promote housing choices. The initiative was introduced with the goal to support the production of 135,000 new housing units by 2025. The Housing Choice Designation recognizes communities who have met simple, flexible goals towards implementing best housing practices, met specific housing goals, or both. The designation gives communities access to new financial resources, including exclusive access to new Housing Choice Capital Grants, and preferential treatment for many state grant and capital funding programs, including MassWorks, Complete Streets, Mass Department of Transportation capital projects, and Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities (PARC) and Local Acquisitions for Natural Diversity (LAND) grants. Currently there are 79 Housing Choice Communities.
