M ALDEN – The City is undertaking a Transit Action Plan to create a community-based vision for the next 10-15 years on how to prioritize investment in Malden’s multi-modal transportation network. As a resident, employee, or somebody who passes through Malden using public transportation, your feedback is essential and a key ingredient in our recipe for success! You’re invited to join the Malden Transit Action Plan’s fi rst virtual community meeting on June 1st from 6:30-8pm to help identify issues, opportunities, and a broader vision for Malden’s transit network. You can join the conversation using the meeting details on the City’s website: https://tinyurl.com/2p8djwfp. If you can’t make the meeting, you can also make your voice heard by completing a short survey before June 6th: https://www. surveymonkey.com/r/maldentap. This fi rst community meeting focuses on the Transit Action Plan’s fi rst phase: Understanding Existing Conditions. In addition to soliciting feedback from the community, the City’s consultants have identifi ed barriers to using transit, assessed current mobility patterns, conducted preliminary observations of stations, and many other analyses. Taking part in this community meeting is vital for the City to understand what is and is not working for the public transportation system in Malden. Subsequent phases of the project include Identifying Potential Mobility Strategies and Developing Near and LongTerm Recommendations. They will include community meetings to solicit feedback and be informed by residents’ vision for the public transportation network. These meetings will take place in Fall and Winter 2022 and specifi c details will be posted on the City’s website as soon as they are available. If you’d like to learn more about the project, you can contact the Transit Action Plan’s Project Manager, John Alessi, in the Offi ce of Strategic Planning and Community Development: jalessi@cityofmladen.org.

Starting next week she will be a part of a staff that will be providing comprehensive health care options ranging from free physical exams to mental health evaluations and follow-up care – and much in-between – at a new Teen Health Center located at Malden High School. The new Teen Health Center, coordinated and run by Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA), is scheduled to open on Tuesday, May 31 and will offer a wide variety of resources and health care for Malden students and residents ages 12-to-24. The services and care will be available on an appointment-only basis between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.., Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. For more information, call 617-665-1100. Kahlens has been promoting the opening of the new health center for the past several Wednesdays at Malden High School in anticipation of next Tuesday’s opening. “It has been great to interact with students [at Malden High]. They have been very receptive to the idea of an accessible health center in their school and community, geared to their needs,” Kahlens said. The CHA-run facility has been in the works for several years, including pre-COVID 19 pandemic, which delayed construction work for over a year. The project is partially grant-funded by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and primarily with municipal funds. A priority with Mayor Gary Christenson and other city and state officials has been the inclusion of the capacity for a robust mental health care element to the teen center. Kahlens said that there will be health care professionals with expertise and training in teen mental health issues as well as many resources and information available for those who need this valuable assistance. “The pandemic has affected all of us so much in the state of our mental health, including teens and others who could use CENTER | SEE PAGE 10 Tanishia Kahlens displays information about the soon-to-open Malden Teen Health Center, which will be located at Malden High School.

Malden at its fi nest. • Turner Classic Movies off ers some of the best movies of all time, fi lms you probably haven’t seen since you were a kid and (more often than not) if you pay close attention, you’ll see somebody who was born in Malden. Some cool examples which I have personally seen are the following: the gangster classic “Public Enemy” starring James Cagney, where Malden guy Robert Homans appears as (of course) Offi cer Pat Burke. The 1967 cult classic 'Good Times,' featuring Sonny and Cher, also features Malden guy Richard "Sonny" Collier as 'The Peddler.''Drums Along the Mohawk' starred Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert but also featured Malden gal Edna May Oliver as 'Mrs. McKlennar.' And Bela Lugosi was featured alongside former Liggett's Drug Store employee Wally Brown in 'Zombies on Broadway.' • The year was 1976, America was celebrating its Bicentennial, and some of us were celebrating freedom from 12 years of compulsory education. To honor our country in that epic summer of ‘76 some of Malden High School's best and brightest from the class of 1975 (and friends) decided to organize an event, dubbed by the event organizer Jack Freker as the “Bi Centennial Walk” (or the “Bi Centennial Tour” as some remember). The goal of this historic event was to take a walking tour of all of Malden’s pubs, cafes, and restaurants that served alcoholic beverages and sample their fi nest ales. • One glass of beer, 24 (identifi ed) destinations, one glorious June day. Nine brave souls started the tour at Maher's Café in Edgeworth. One intrepid individual made it to Morrison’s in Linden some 10 hours later. None made the last stop — the Town Line Bar.

Wilt the Stilt! Lew Alcindor/Kareem. Nate Thurmond. Big Red. Bill Walton. Artis Gilmore. Walt Bellamy. The Detroit Pistons 6' 10" center passed away recently but will always be remembered fondly by anybody who laced up Chuck Taylor's growing up in Malden. Who could ever forget his size 22 Chuck's displayed behind the counter at the old Converse Retail Quonset Hut Shack on the corner of Pearl and Medford Streets!? As teenagers we stood in amazement repeating to each that nobody could have feet that big! • Accounts vary on how big his Chuck's actually were. Converse says they were 18" and the 22" is the size in Korea. But as a kid I vividly remember seeing a sign that said 22" right in front of the sneakers. Who remembers that sign? • Boy did I mess up when I mentioned what year Bobby Bionelli graduated and what school he attended.

I am proud to support this 100% affordable project, which will help address the ongoing housing crisis,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “This deal illustrates the continued commitment of The Salvation Army and ACDC to serving our residents, and I am grateful to have them as partners in meeting our aff ordable housing goals.” "ACDC's intentions are to ensure that Malden remains aff ordable and accessible to individuals and families of all income levels and uphold the cultural and economic diversity that makes Malden a vibrant city. I commend the City of Malden for their commitment to aff ordable housing by passing the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance in 2021 and now working with us on this project," said Angie Liou, Executive Director of ACDC.

Bobby retired a couple years back from his position as Department Head of Automotive at his alma mater, The Voke in Wakefi eld, where he toiled for over 35 years. Predating M.T.V. even! In his (much) younger days he could be found behind the 'pipes' at the Emerson School yard displaying his street hockey skills with his cousin Rob Sensale, 'Soup' Campbell and all the West Street Santo boys. When challenged, they would pack up their gear and take the trip across Highland Avenue to play the 'Bad Boys of Pearl Street Park' for a friendly, yet very competitive game of street hockey. Marie's oldest fondly recalls the Edgeworth of his youth with haircuts at Wendell's, pizza at the Highland Café, Italian subs with everything on it (including hot's) at Charlie Moreno's, clam rolls at King Neptune, and - of course - 35-cent draft beer at Mike's Café.

The project was recommended by the City’s ARPA Subcommittee on Housing, including Co-Chairs Councillor Amanda Linehan and OSPCD Director Deborah Burke, and members Andrew Spoff ord, Katzia Small, and Councillor Karen Colón Hayes. “The American Rescue Plan Act represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make transformative investments in their mile wide smiles.

Enjoy 'fruit of the vine!' Embrace friends. Unabashedly. Especially old friends! I regret, on occasion, having not followed my very own counsel. I leave this week with a favorite old quote. If I only wrote one line during my existence, something as clever, anything as cool as this, I would be content. From the original "Goth" whose twisted mind gave us, 'The Raven,' I off er up to you, once again, this brilliant ode to living in the moment from Edgar Allen Poe: “Fill with mingled cream and amber, I will drain that glass again.

Ensuring the city’s housing stock stays aff ordable is a critical tactic for keeping Malden welcoming to all who want to live here, and our committee is proud to contribute to this important neighborhood project,” said City Councillor Amanda Linehan. A 100% aff ordable housing development will replace the vacant building at 213 Main Street. Community input will support the design process for this neighborhood-scaled project. ACDC will take over maintenance of the property immediately. “For individuals and families living paycheck-to-paycheck or for those who are at-risk in their current living situations, access to quality, aff ordable housing is pivotal to their long-term stability,” said Major Marcus Jugenheimer, General Secretary, The Salvation Army Massachusetts Division. “We are grateful to ACDC and the City of Malden for recognizing this need as we continue to support our neighbors in the Mystic Valley.” Malden community members through the chambers of my brain.

She said a resource that will be available to all who request it will be free condoms. While most of the health care services requested by those under the age of 18 will require parental consent, not so with the free condom distribution. “It will be confidential, and students of any age will be allowed to receive free condoms if they request them,” Kahlens said. “They will not need parental consent.” The Teen Health Center will have a separate, outside entrance and there is no on-site parking at Malden High School for those visiting the center.

There were no roll calls in the Senate last week. MARIJUANA LAWS (H 4791) House 155-0, approved a bill that makes changes in the cannabis industry including a section that would require the state to put its tax and licensing revenue from the sales of marijuana revenue into a newly created Social Equity Trust Fund to provide grants and loans, including forgivable and no-interest loans, designed to assist entrepreneurs and businesses from communities disproportionately harmed by the decades of marijuana prohibition. The measure would also allow municipalities to vote by a local referendum or through a vote of the municipal government for social consumption of marijuana to take place in their community. The Senate has already approved its own version of the bill and a House-Senate conference committee will likely hammer out a compromise version. Supporters explained that opening an average cannabis retail shop can require up to $1.5 million. They noted that since federal cannabis laws prevent these businesses from accessing traditional bank loans, lack of capital can pose an insurmountable barrier. They noted that less than 20 (6 percent) of the 346 marijuana businesses are connected to participants in the Cannabis Control Commission's current social equity program or economic empowerment entrepreneurs. “This legislation builds upon the House’s multi-session efforts to create a fair and successful cannabis industry, fostering equitable opportunities to those disproportionately impacted by the systemic racism of historic drug policy,” said Speaker of the House Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “With this legislation, the House addresses ongoing concerns that have only become more pronounced with the growth of the cannabis industry, such as the host community agreement process and systemic barriers for minority-owned businesses to enter the cannabis market.” “This legislation continues to build on the strives we have made in the cannabis industry to ensure equitable access for all Massachusetts residents, particularly those who have been disadvantaged by marijuana prohibition and enforcement,” said Rep. Dan Donahue (D-Worcester), House Chairman of the Committee on Cannabis Policy. “This bill lays out a clear and fair approach to expungement for prior marijuana convictions that ensures the best interest of justice is served by providing a real and effective avenue for many to put their past behind them.” “I voted against the cannabis bill first based on the principle that I believe legalization was a mistake,” said Rep. Jeff Turco (D-Winthrop), one of only two members who voted against the measure. “I believe this bill compounds the mistake by using taxpayer funding to finance new entrants into the cannabis market. In addition, this bill will allow people convicted of distributing cannabis in a school zone and to children to be permanently expunged from their criminal record. In light of all of these concerns, I voted against the bill.” Rep. Marc Lombardo (D-Billerica), the only other representative who voted against the measure, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call for a comment. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it). Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes PUBLIC MEETING BEFORE LICENSING (H 4791) House 29-126, rejected an amendment that would require that a public hearing be held prior to the signing of an agreement between a host city or town and a marijuana business. “Under current law a public meeting must take place in a community prior to a cannabis business applying for a license from the Cannabis Control Commission,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Paul Frost (R-Auburn). “However, that public meeting can and has taken place after a host community agreement is already signed and agreed to between the business and community officials. My amendment sought to require that the public meeting must take place prior to the signing of the host community agreement. This way residents, especially those impacted by the location of such a business, can have input prior to any agreement on addressing impacts being finalized. It makes the process far more transparent and consistent from community to community.” Rep. Dan Donahue (D-Worcester), cochair of the Committee on Cannabis Policy. opposed the amendment. “Currently Everett Aluminum 10 Everett Ave., Everett 617-389-3839 Owned & operated by the Conti family since 1958 • 57 Years! family since 1958 • 64 “Same name, phone number & address for over half a century.

It doesn’t deal with the processes for which a municipality will engage their community members in signing the host community agreement.” (A "Yes" vote is for the amendment. A "No" vote is against it). Rep. Paul Donato No Rep. Steven Ultrino No BORROW $5 BILLION FOR STATE PROJECTS(H 4790) House 155-0, approved and sent to the Senate a $5 billion bill that borrows money for hundreds of projects—the majority involving maintenance and modernization projects of buildings—many of which are decades old. The House added $125 million during consideration of the package. A key provision imposes a fiveyear moratorium on any prison or jail construction in Massachusetts. There was no debate on the House floor during consideration of the package. There were 256 amendments filed by members, many of which were filed by legislators for projects in their own district. Members pitched their amendments behind closed doors. In the end, there was no debate or vote on individual amendments but rather approval of a single mega-consolidated which included some, but not all, of the 256 amendments. “I’m pleased that the House of Representatives advanced this critical legislation to ensure funding for several governmental facility projects,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “The House bill also includes a moratorium on the construction of all new prisons in the commonwealth. This moratorium is consistent with the goals of the Legislature’s 2018 criminal justice reform legislation, which looked to reduce our prison population, limit solitary confinement and increase access mental health support.” Rep. Danielle Gregoire (D-Marlborough), the House chair of the Committee on Bonding, Capital Expenditures and State Assets, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on passage of the bill. Her committee held a hearing on the original version of the measure sponsored by Gov. Charlie Baker back in January. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL ALLOW CITIES AND TOWN TO IMPOSE WATER FEES (S 2869) - The Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government held a virtual hearing on legislation that would allow cities, towns and water or wastewater districts to impose “reasonable” fees that would be used only to remedy/offset impacts that water withdrawals and discharges have on the natural environment. Supporters said that “water banking” at the local level has proven to be an effective tool for mitigating the impacts of water withdrawals on both the natural environment and local and regional water infrastructure systems. “In response to administrative consent orders and increasingly stringent regulatory mandates, communities are being encouraged to establish water banks or mitigation funds,” said sponsor Sen.

Born on October 8, 1945, he was raised in Malden, Massachusetts by his parents, the late Boleslaw and Petronella Kotowski, and graduated from Malden High School with the class of 1964. His early years were spent in the construction trades and fi nally as an inspector for the City of Malden where he retired after 18 years of service. He is survived by his beloved BACKDOOR ROTH IRA’S for at least fi ve years. If you are single, for calenW hen the House Ways and Means Committee in May of 2021 passed Secure 2.0, the Securing a Strong Retirement Act, it appeared that this bill would easily pass the United States Senate and the House of Representatives. It the bill were to have passed, that would have been the end of the Backdoor Roth IRA. A backdoor Roth IRA is when high income earners, who otherwise are not able to contribute to a Roth IRA, instead contribute to a non-deductible Traditional IRA. Subsequently, he or she will then convert the non-deductible Traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. At the time of conversion, the only income taxes to be paid would be if there were earnings in the Traditional IRA account prior to the conversion. Only the earnings would be taxed. The Roth IRA owner does not have to take out any required minimum distributions upon reaching the age of 72. No income taxes will have to be paid on future earnings so long as the Roth IRA account has been established dar year 2022, your ability to contribute to a Roth IRA is phased out completely once your modifi ed adjusted gross income reaches $144,000. For a married person fi ling jointly, the income fi gure for the phase out is $214,000. Secure 1.0 did away with the stretch IRA, which allowed non-spouse beneficiaries of IRA’s to “stretch” the required minimum distributions over his or her life expectancy. Under current law, the IRA account must be withdrawn within a ten- year period. For certain Trust benefi ciaries, the IRA account must be taken over a fi ve-year period. Many beneficiaries must also begin withdrawing monies in the benefi ciary IRA account starting in year one and then in each of the next nine years. With Roth IRA’s, benefi ciaries are not required to withdraw monies in years one through nine. They must, however, withdraw the entire account out by the end of the tenth year. However, that means that the Roth IRA benefi ciary has the luxury of having that account grow tax free for the entire ten- year period. Even if Congress does away with the backdoor Roth IRA, the legislation would only affect future conversions. So, for now, it seems to still be a great planning idea. Joseph D.

The bill leaves the prison sentences as they are but raises the fi nes to $5,500 for a fi rst off ense and $11,000 for subsequent off enses. It also creates a special account where up to $500 for a fi rst off ense and up to $1,000 for subsequent off enses would go to fund improvements to animal shelters in the city or town in which the violations occurred. “Animal cruelty laws in Massachusetts are strong, but not strong enough,” said sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers (D-Quincy). “ We need to set a stronger precedent that animal cruelty will not be tolerated. The additional funds generated through this bill will help subsidize much-needed improvements to animal shelters across Massachusetts, putting the fi nancial burden on the backs of those who violate the law. Addressing the inaction on the bill for the past fi ve months, Ayers said he’s confi dent on the merits of this bill and feels that it will continue through the legislative process.” $500 PAYMENTS TO 330,000 ELIGIBLE LOW-INCOME WORKERS – The Baker Administration announced that 300,000 low-income workers will each receive $500 under the second round of the COVID-19 Essential Employee Premium Pay Program that was part of the American Rescue Plan Act approved by the Legislature in December 2021.

Massachusetts residents will be eligible for the $500 if their 2021 income from employment was at least $13,500—and their total income put them below 300 percent of the federal poverty level. Individuals who received a round one payment through this program or received unemployment compensation in 2021 will not be eligible for this second round of payments, nor will commonwealth executive branch employees who received or will receive a one-time COVID-related payment from the state as their employer.

City Engineer Malden Engineering Department avvyavvy iori n r by Jim Miller How to Start a Walking Program and Stay Motivated Dear Savvy Senior, My doctor recently suggested I start a walking program to help get my weight and blood pressure under control, but I’ve never exercised much and am 66. Can you recommend some tips? Hate to Exercise Dear Hate, You should follow your doctor’s orders. Years of research have shown that walking may be the single best exercise you can do to improve your health as you age. It burns calories, which will help you lose weight, builds endurance, enhances muscle tone and it doesn’t pound your joints. It also helps improve or prevent many age-related health problems including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, dementia and even depression. But walking is not only good for what ails you. It’s also one of the easiest and most convenient exercises you can do and is completely free. All you need is a good pair of walking shoes that fi t well and a little desire. Here are some things you should know to help get you started and stay motivated. Getting Started Start out slow if you need to. For many people this means head out the door, walk for 10 minutes, and walk back. Do it every day for a week. If that seems easy, add fi ve minutes to your walks the next week and keep adding fi ve minutes until you are walking as long as you desire. It’s also a smart idea to start and fi nish your walk with a few simple warm up and cool down stretches. Stretching will make you feel better and help prevent injury. Most fi tness professionals recommend walking about 30 minutes, fi ve or more days a week. For optimal health benefi ts aim for 10,000 steps per day, which is the equivalent of about fi ve miles. Your walking pace is also important. While strolling around the park or neighborhood at an easy pace is good for you, a brisker pace that has you breathing heavily, but you are still able to carry on a conversation, provides better health, fi tness and weight loss benefi ts. Staying Motivated While starting a walking program takes initiative, sticking with it takes commitment. Here are some tips to help you stay motivated: Find a walking buddy: Having a friend to walk with can provide motivation and support along with companionship. Wear a fi tness tracker or pedometer: These devices measure how far you’ve walked in steps and miles, providing motivation by spurring you to meet a particular goal and showing you if you’ve met it. Or, if you use a smartphone there are free pedometer apps you can download like MyPacer.com, Google. com/fi t or Accupedo.com. Join a walking club: To fi nd one in your community, call your nearby medical center, mall, health club, senior center, running shoe stores or Area Agency on Aging to see if they sponsor or know of any clubs or groups. Or try MeetUp.com or the American Volkssport Association (AVA.org), to search for non-competitive walking clubs in your area, or start one. Keep a journal: Use it to keep track of your walking minutes, steps, or mileage and total it up at the end of each week to see how you’re progressing. There are also free apps like MapMyWalk.com and Walkmeter.com that use GPS to map your walk and measure your distance and time, which is fun and motivating. Have a backup plan: If bad weather, allergies or other factors limit your outdoor walking, have a backup plan like walking at your local mall, buying a home treadmill or joining a health club. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
