Mayoral forum reveals a real choice for voters
By Barbara Taormina
R
esidents packed the auditorium
of the senior center
Wednesday night for Malden
Access TV’s mayoral candidates’
forum. After listening
to 90 minutes of both political
and personal talk from the candidates,
some undecided voters
left the forum feeling there
were no knock-outs and both
Mayor Gary Christenson, who
is seeking his third term, and
challenger John Matheson, who
has represented Ward 3 on the
City Council for the past eight
years, offered convincing arguments
about their ability to lead
the city.
MATV Government Affairs
Coordinator Guillermo Hamlin
moderated the forum with
panelists Serge Perfini, who
represented the Chamber of
Commerce, Henry Zhao, a Malden
High School freshman and
member of the Chinese Cultural
Connection, Mass Senior Action
Council member Marcia

and publisher of The Malmost

den Advocate, asking the questions.
Christenson and Matheson
outlined their positions on
topics that ranged from development
and affordable housing
to trash bags and community
gardens. The candidates went
back and forth on several major
issues, with Christenson touting
his administration’s accomplishments
and Matheson criticizing
his record.
When asked about their specific
plans for providing more
affordable housing for seniors,
Christenson pointed to the
three-prong strategy recently
presented by the Malden Redevelopment
Authority. Christenson
said the city is working
on establishing an affordable
housing trust fund supported
by half of the incoming mitigation
money from new developments,
conducting an inclusionary
zoning feasibility analysis
and creating a revolving security
deposit fund to help residents
displaced by rent increases
move to new homes.
“We’re also working on some
other issues we hope to forward
to the Council,” said Christenson,
who did not offer any specific
plans to provide affordable
housing for seniors.
Matheson hit back by pointing
to Christenson’s record on
residential housing development.
“He’s had this city for eight
years and we’ve had a boom in
market-rate apartments that
fighting for plans to build affordable
housing for seniors and
veterans at the Malden Hospital
site. He added that Christenson
supported a developer’s proposal
for build several hundred
more market-rate units on the
site. “Malden Hospital is an opportunity
to take the remaining
development that will occur in
the city and do it right,” he said.
But on affordable housing
and other issues, Christenson
repeatedly stressed that Matheson
criticizes programs and
floats proposals without any
plans to carry them forward.
“He has served alongside me for
eight years. Where is his affordable
housing plan?” asked Christenson,
who urged voters to ask
for the details. “It’s not the what,
it’s the how,” he added.
The candidates had a similar
exchange on blue trash bags
and the administration’s plan to
replace them with barrels and
recycling bins which will cost

Bay State Commons pressures Historical Commission to lift demo delay for Legion building

embers of the Malden
Historical Commission
and the Bay State Commons
co-housing group are struggling
to find a compromise on
a plan to preserve historical elements
of the former American
Legion post on Pleasant
Street.
Last month, the Historical
Commission members
agreed the building was historically
significant and “preferably
preserved.” Commission
members voted to delay
Bay State Common’s application
to raze the building
and replace it with a co-housing
project with 30 units built
around shared interior and exterior
spaces. The city’s Demolition
Delay Ordinance gives
the commission the authority
to put a demolition permit
on hold for up to a year
while owners consider alternatives
to preserve the property
or sell it.
This week, members of the
commission met with Bay
State Commons’ lawyer, Roberto
Demarco, and an architect
for the project to discuss
elements of the Legion building
that could be saved and
incorporated into the design
for a new building. Demarco
told the commission that the
Bay State Commons members
are willing to try and blend
the granite steps and some
columns from the side portico
into the new building. The
group also agreed to add an
oculus window and create a
mini park with a plaque describing
the history of the
building.
“At this point any additional
work proposed by this board
gets us into an area of extreme
expense,” said Demarco,
who also told the commission
that members of Bay
State Commons, who bought
the property three years ago,
are suffering financially because
of the demolition delay.
He also told commission
members that a lawsuit has
been drafted and is ready and
waiting to be filed.
Demarco and others who
support the plan for a new
building have argued that
time and renovations have
stripped the Legion building
of its historical characteristics
and made it a poor candidate
for preservation. However, local
historian Frank Russell has
said that the Legion building
is the last of several 19th century
suburban estates that
were built along Pleasant
Street. According to Russell,
several of the building’s original
features, such as the front
gable, floor-length windows
and the entry way, could be
preserved to bring the building
back.
Commission members
seemed to be hoping for more
preservation than Demarco
said the Bay Stater Commons
group is willing to consider.
They suggested the building
exterior and setting should reflect
its original grander and
fit with other buildings in the
neighborhood. But Demarco
repeatedly stressed that
overhauling the design for
the new co-housing building
is impossible, and preserving
a handful of details is the most
the group could do.
Except for Inna Babitskaya,
commission members
seemed to accept that preserving
the building is not realistic
and retaining elements
that capture some of its original
characteristics is the most
they could expect. Babitskaya
felt that that saving architectural
details is not enough
and that the building should
be preserved.
Demarco left the meeting
with a list of elements the
commission asked Bay State
Commons to incorporate into
their designs for their new
building. Architects will provide
sketches to the commission
to be discussed at their
next meeting on the project.

School Committee. A lifelong
resident of Ward 2, McCarthy
said his Malden roots, his experience
as an educator and
his master’s degree in educational
leadership and administration
from American International
College have given him
the background to be an effective
member of the committee.
“Education is a way of life for
me,” he said. “It’s my life’s work.”
For McCarthy, maintaining
small class sizes in a priority
for the district. “We need to
protect small class sizes to ensure
an optimal learning environment
where students can
grow,” he said. “We track enrollment
at every meeting and if
there’s an issue we address it.”
McCarthy would like to see
the district expand its curriculum
to include more science
and technology classes.

for more of these classes,” he

said. “Enhancing STEM education
helps students focus their
post-education tracks.”
He would also like to see Malden
build its vocational and
tech ed programs. “I believe
we need to make sure we have
something for every student,”
he said. He also feels the district
needs a guidance program
that helps students explore all
appropriate career paths.
As a member of the Social,
Emotional and Physical Well

has been involved in the
district’s efforts to protect
and possibly expand recess
time. “The recess issue goes to
the heart of social-emotional
learning,” he said. “Children
need an opportunity for free

a budgetary challenge, and he
supports the idea of launching

tricts. In the past he has proposed
reviewing the district’s
inclusion model that places
special needs students in
mainstream classrooms to ensure
students are in appropriate
programs with adequate
resources and safeguards.
He supports the efforts to ensure
racial equity and to hire
more teachers and staff of color.
“We need a staff that is a
mirror image of the student
body,” he said. ‘We’ve made
some strides, but we need to
continue to work on this with
outreach to colleges, teachers’
fairs and other recruitment
strategies.”
McCarthy said all children
have one chance at first grade
and every grade along the
way, and it’s up to the district’s
leaders to make sure each step
provides everything students
need to learn and grow. “It’s
all about allowing kids to have
the best opportunities possible,”
he said.

Malden today, tomorrow, and yesterday: Ryder Cup 2019 in the books
By Peter Levine
Chief Molis continued: “Saint
S
aturday, September 7, a
gorgeous late summer
morning at Hillview Golf Course
in North Reading, saw the Ancient
Order of Hibernians from
Charles Street convincingly
take home yet another title
against the Italian American Citizens
Club, their 4th straight Ryder
Cup Golf Tournament victory!
Whispers from above are
talking regime change at the
I.A.C.C., but it has been learned
that Captain/General Manager/
ace golfer Jimmy Cahill will not
suffer the fate of recently fired
Red Sox GM Dave Dombrowski
and will return for yet another
shot next year as captain. His
fellow golfers stating on the record
that they have full confidence
in his abilities to lead
them to victory in 2020. Taking
the lead for the I.A.C.C. and displaying
that “never say die attitude”
all afternoon were Charles
Ranaghan, Nelson Miller, Martin
and Brendan Cahill, Peter Robinson
(exceptional day I am told),
Gene Pinkham and Mark Doyle.
Mr. Cahill, inconsolable right after
the loss, was later quoted:
“The boys never gave up and
played right to the very end. It’s
now tied at 4 each! Can’t wait
for the rubber match next year
when things will be much different.
Special thanks to A.O.H. captain
and stand-up guy Mike Tilley
– sportsmanship at its very,
very best.”
A.O.H. Captain Mike Tilley and
his band of merry men were red
hot all morning. The A.O.H. boys
did some serious bushwhacking
this fine September morning!

shows what Malden has
been, what it is, and what it will
always be… THE BEST PLACE
TO LIVE, WORK, WORSHIP AND
TO RAISE A FAMILY!!!! And with
that THE BEST PLACE TO BE POLICE
CHIEF.”
Speaking (again) of the Saint
Rocco weekend, the Saint Rocco
committee would also like
to thank JRM Hauling & Recycling
and CEO Jim Motzkin in
particular for their continued
generosity. Jim’s dad Joe started
this family-owned business

ny McGee and Michael Tilley &
Marty Murphy shot lights out
all day! After the tournament at
the I.A.C.C., the celebration continued.
In between swigs of expensive
champagne, Mike Tilley
was quoted: “Was an awesome
day all around. Everyone
had a great time. Dorian stayed
off shore, the sun came out and
the A.O.H. won. All good things!”
Malden Police Chief Kevin Molis
spent most of Saint Rocco
weekend on Pearl Street keeping
law and order but also enjoying
his childhood neighborhood
block party: “From the perspective
of being the Malden
Police Chief and still a ‘Kid from
Edgeworth’ what stood out for
me that weekend is what Saint
Rocco’s says about who we are
as a city. Saint Rocco’s represents
a group of Italian immigrants
coming to America and to Edgeworth
and bringing with them
their rich culture and customs,
their proud traditions and their
strong faith and not keeping it
for themselves but offering and
sharing it with others. My own
ancestors on my mother’s side
had made a similar journey from
Ireland to Edgeworth. Saint Rocco’s
was born out of those proud
Italian immigrants remembering
where they were from and
keeping that spirit alive in their
new home. But what stood out
for me as the Malden Police
Chief was that on that same
weekend, I had the joy, honor
and privilege to attend a Caribbean
Festival at Lincoln Commons
and to stand among a
large gathering of Muslims as
they prayed during a Holy Day
called Eid al- Adha. Each and every
day there are tremendous
examples of people from all over
the world who have chosen Malden
to be their home, just like
those proud Italian immigrants
did so many years ago.”

Malden’s Di Marco launches
Malden Catholic internship program
N
ine fortunate Malden Catholic
(MC) High School students
recently completed the
school’s first Summer Apprenticeship
Program, which matches
up MC students with prominent
alumni in the fields of finance,
business, law, engineering,
public relations and sports
management. Seniors Jake Morrow
and Santiago Marmolejo
Rocha of Melrose completed internships
at the law firm of Foster,
Walker & Di Marco, P.C., under
the watchful eye of its Partner
and Malden resident, Roberto
Di Marco.
Morrow was thankful for the
opportunity: “It really opened
my eyes to what it’s like to be a
lawyer. I was able to go to court
several times and be in meetings
as they worked with clients
on some interesting transactions.”
“My
partners and I are thrilled
to be able to offer two students
from Malden Catholic the opportunity
to gain experience
working in the law,” said Di Marco,
an MC graduate. “We sought
to create a rewarding experience
for them at our firm. It was
an honor to give back to MC. MC
MC seniors Santiago Marmolejo Rocha and Jake Morrow recently
completed internships at Foster, Walker & Di Marco, P.C. (Courtesy Photo)
made a huge impact on my life
in many ways, and having the
opportunity to stay connected
to the MC community, and to
give back some time and knowledge
to a student is a privilege
for me.”
“Malden Catholic students
are not only learning about future
career possibilities, but also
having the opportunity to experience
first-hand how classroom
learning relates to the various
professional industries,” said MC
Senior Director of Institutional
Advancement Robert McCarthy.
“Our alumni business leaders
are role models for our students,
building confidence, elevating
self-esteem, inspiring
new goals, and raising future aspirations
– transforming classroom
learning and challenging
our students to go ‘plus ultra’ today
and in the future.”
Morrow and Santiago were
chosen for the internships after
a competitive essay and application
process with over 40 MC
applicants. The Apprenticeship
Program included a kick-off BBQ
and a Business Training Seminar
giving an overview of business
etiquette and expectations.
“We are very excited about
the launch of our Apprenticeship
Program,” said Headmaster
John Thornburg. “We believe
that partnering with our many
amazing alumni helps further
differentiate the Malden Catholic
experience. We dream of a
day when all our students can
enjoy an internship experience
through one of our many successful
alumni.”
The inaugural Alumni Hosts
were:
• Joseph O’Donnell ’62; Founder
of Boston Culinary Group
• Richard LeBranti ’94; CFP/
Co-Founder of Doble LeBranti

• Nicolas Gennetti ’02; Corporate

Under mayor’s leadership,
Malden receives highest
ever bond rating from Moody’s
(Editor's Note: this story was
submitted by Mayor Gary Christenson's
Office)
fter a comprehensive review
associated with a
new debt issuance, ratings
agency Moody’s recently provided
the City of Malden with
a bond rating of Aa3, the highest
rating in the history of the
City of Malden. A city government’s
bond rating determines
the cost of borrowing for projects
ranging from water main
replacements to parks and
schools. Borrowing funds is a
regular part of the operation
of any government entity, and
the ability of a city government
to maintain a high bond rating
is an important indicator of the
health and leadership of the
municipality.
“I’m extremely pleased with
the confidence that Moody’s
A
has shown in the City of Malden.
Residents should know
that these ratings are only provided
after we have in-depth
calls with the ratings agency,
during which time they probe
every aspect of our finances
and our management team,”
said Mayor Gary Christenson.
“It truly represents a financial
report card for us, and the impact
is great. Since I took office,
we have been able to increase
our rating two steps, saving
the city and by extension the
residents of Malden millions in
borrowing costs” added Christenson.
“Our most recent debt
had a true interest cost of about
2.4 percent. Being able to borrow
funds at these rates really
helps us redirect money that
would otherwise be spent on
interest costs to other important
initiatives.”

Malden’s first safer homes, safer
community gun buyback to take place Oct. 5
M
alden High School students
are teaming up
with the Malden Police Department
and the Middlesex Sheriff’s
Office to host the first ever
gun buyback program in the
city. The gun buyback initiative
will take place on Saturday, October
5, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
This public safety event will
provide residents with an opportunity
to anonymously and
safely dispose of any unwanted
firearms from their homes.
By safely reducing the number
of unwanted firearms in our
city, there is a strong likelihood
that we might also achieve the
goal of reducing the potential
dangers that can be associated
with these weapons, including
theft and accidental shootings.
The event will be taking place
at a location that provides a
safe and convenient way for
those who want to participate.
Consistent with its strong commitment
to public health and
wellness, Cambridge Health Alliance
has graciously allowed
for the use of its outdoor parking
lot as the location for the
event. The gun buyback event
will take place at 195 Canal St.
in Malden.
Members of the community
who choose to participate may
do so anonymously. No identification
is required, and no personal
information will be requested.
Any weapons can be
turned in with no questions
asked. Members of the Malden
Police Department and
the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office
will be present and will be coordinating
and overseeing the
acceptance and destruction of
the unwanted firearms.
Gift cards
Because this is a gun buyback
initiative, members of the public
will receive gift cards in exchange
for any unwanted firearms
that are turned in. The gift
cards will be issued in varying
amounts based upon the following
guidelines: $100 – Assault
Rifle; $50 – Rifle/Handgun;
$25 – BB Rifle/Pistol.
“Providing residents the opportunity
to safely remove
unwanted and unsecured
firearms from homes serves
to make both our homes and
our communities safer,” said
Middlesex Sheriff Peter J.
Koutoujian. “We are proud to
work with these outstanding
young student leaders and
our partners at the Malden
Police Department to support
this critically important public
safety effort.”
“There are many things that
contribute to the safety and
well-being of any community.
It involves partnerships.
It involves people deciding
that they want to make a difference,”
said Malden Chief of
Police, Kevin Molis. “This voluntary
gun buyback is an example
of that. The power of it
is enhanced by the fact that it
involves the motivation of our
young people, Malden High
students.”
“We became really interested
in hosting a gun buyback
after we met with Chief Molis
at Civics Day last year, where
we were presenting our Generation
Citizen project on reducing
gun violence,” said Malden
High School sophomores
Ketshaly Philome, Tamara Philius
and Alexi Dao. “Being able
to host the gun buyback is one
way that we feel we can make
our city safer, by removing unwanted
guns from homes and
making sure people don’t get
hurt by those guns.”

he fall season is now
here! Just think of all
the beautiful green leaves
that will be turning their
magnificent colors, and they
will be falling to the ground.
Soon, the earth will be covered
with leaves of yellow,
orange and red. Mother Nature
has a pattern to follow.
The lawn mower and bush
cutter will have to be put to
sleep until next spring, and
the rakes and the snowblowers
will be all set in preparation
of winter.
I have a tear in my eye
when I realize what the season
of fall means. So, I am
going to call the season “autumn”
instead of “fall.” The
word autumn sounds so
much softer and does not
make me feel as sad. So, get
out the leaf-blower and the
bags to put them in. Next,
get the snowblower out of
retirement and ready for
old man winter. How lucky
we are to be born at a time

Let’s think about the good
things that are coming up
during the autumn season
with the parties, costumes
and holiday celebrations. The
holiday that comes to mind
to me is Halloween, and do
I have a story for you about
that.
One year, I went to a Halloween
party at the Bellevue
Country Club, dressed
in my mother’s wedding
dress, but I was dressed as a
1920s flapper. I wore a headband
around my forehead.
The costume didn’t win me
a prize, but I really felt that
I looked great. I looked like
an attractive flapper of the
20s. However, I couldn’t help
but think of my dear, sweet
mother who was married in
this dress in 1924. She was
much shorter than me, so
it was a perfect fit for my
needs. And we both looked
terrific in it! Wearing a costume
can sometimes really
make you feel like a kid
again.
Well, my next story may
be about Thanksgiving and
all the good times we will
have with our families. In
the meantime, let’s enjoy
the cooler days, the pretty
autumn leaves, and the enjoyment
of Halloween and
let’s try not to dwell on the
winter!
Happy Autumn to All!

MATV Gallery exhibit takes
a “closer look” at bugs!
L
et’s face it. Bugs have an image
problem. Some people
appreciate them but they give
many folks the creeps. Yet bugs
are everywhere. Insects are the
largest known group of animals,
making up three-quarters of animal
species. That’s a lot of bugs!
The new exhibit in the MATV
Gallery features the artwork of
photographer Liz Tomkins. “Part
of the image problem of bugs is
that most of them are very small,
averaging less than six millimeters
long. It’s hard to appreciate
something you can’t see,”
she said. That’s where her artistry
comes in.
Through magnification, Tompkins’
photographs zoom in on
their subject, enlarging details
and features, helping the viewer
to differentiate between types
of tiny bugs, to appreciate their
varied structures and colors and
movements. All of the work is
photography, though some pieces
look like paintings or drawings
or mixed media. Each piece in the
exhibit is also tagged with a “fun
fact” about the insect it features.
“I began photographing insects
a few years ago under our
porch lights, to get over my fear
of little flying things,” said Tompkins.
“The little flying things
turned out to be pretty interesting
when they were magnified 30
times. My wonder at the diversity
of life grows with each new bug
I discover. I invite you to share in
that wonder.”
Tompkins is a retired seventh
grade science teacher from the
Malden Public Schools which,
she says, explains her interest in
pretty much anything. She began
showing her work at the first Window
Arts Malden event in 2007.
She also participated in The Gallery
at 480 Main Street, and her
bugs have also made an appearance
at the Malden Public Library.
“Bugs: A Closer Look” will be
on view through November 30.
A reception with the artist will
take place on Wednesday, October
23, from 6:30–8:00 p.m. It
will include a short presentation
and audience discussion about
the exhibit.
The MATV Gallery is located at
MATV, Malden’s Media Center, at
145 Pleasant St. Hours are Monday–Thursday,
10 a.m.–9 p.m.; Friday,
10 a.m.–6 p.m.; and Saturday,
10 a.m.–2 p.m. For more information,
visit www.matv.org/gallery.

Malden receives $400K for Trafton Park
T
he Malden Redevelopment
Authority (MRA)
has won a $400,000 grant for
improvements at Trafton Park
on Granite Street, the maximum
award amount under the
state’s competitive Parkland
Acquisitions and Renovations
for Communities grant program,
Secretary of Energy and
Environmental Affairs Kathleen
Theoharides announced
this week.
The grant will be used to implement
the first phase of improvements
under the new
Trafton Park Master Plan, which
was developed through a series
of community meetings
in 2018 and 2019 that were led
by Ward 6 Councillor Dave Camell,
Councillor-at-Large Steve
Winslow and the Malden Redevelopment
Authority. The
Master Plan envisions a more
inclusive and accessible Trafton
Park, including an upgraded
baseball field, a new U8 soccer
field, expanded play areas
for children of all ages, a multiuse
play court, a challenge
course designed for teens and
pre-teens, improvements to
the existing dog park, a plaza
for community concerts and
events, a paved walking path
encircling the park, and other
features. The PARC grant will
go toward constructing Phase I
improvements, which includes
expanding play areas, upgrading
the ball field, addressing accessibility
concerns, and other
needs.
“This grant is a major win for
our city and is the result of an
intensive team effort and great
community partnerships,” said
Mayor Gary Christenson. “This
grant will help us make Trafton
Park a more welcoming and accessible
park for residents of all
ages and abilities and help us
continue to move Malden forward
for everyone.”
“Trafton Park is really the
heart of our ward,” said Camell.
“That's why it was I important
that this project was community
led and incorporated so
much feedback from our residents.
What I am most excited
about is that these changes
are going to help make the
park a place where entire families
can come and spend the
day together.”
“This grant helps ensure
that the updates to Trafton
Park will reflect the call from
residents to both rehabilitate
the best elements of Trafton –
the play area, field, walkways
and dog park – while also enAward-Winning
Landscaping
Servicing
the
North Shore
for over
38 Years
hancing those elements to allow
for youth softball, baseball
and soccer on the field and accommodate
a greater variety of
play on the courts,” said Councillor
Steve Winslow.
“This grant award will go a
long way toward achieving the

Director Deborah Burke. “The
MRA was proud to work with
the Mayor, the Councillors, and
the community to help develop
the Master Plan and earn
this grant, and we look forward
to seeing this project through
to completion.”
The MRA, working with Councillors
Camell and Winslow, is
also applying for Community

ore than 400 people –
students, families and

for the annual Ninth Grade
Family Cookout. The cookout is
a fan favorite among new students,
faculty and most certainly
their families. The event
was hosted by Malden Catholic

with help from faculty and staff.

was prepared by the MC faculty
and staff, games of basketball
and cornhole, and the lively
music that echoed through
the halls. All ninth graders were
immersed into their first “MC experience.”
Nurse
Elizabeth Paquette,
who helps organize the annual
event, says the cookout has
been one of her favorite events
dating back to when her son,
James ’02, was a student at MC.
“I was so impressed with the
community who came together
to meet all the new students
and their families. It is a favorite
event for me as I get to meet
not only our freshman, but their
families. It is a relaxed, fun event
where families get to meet each
other and the faculty and staff,”
Paquette said.
The Ninth Grade Family Cookout
is great for all new students
and their families. The event
wouldn’t have been possible if
it weren’t for the outstanding
help and dedication from all of
Malden Catholic’s faculty and
staff and volunteer parents who
helped with this special event.

public schools, will expand opportunities
for all students, especially
those facing educational
disadvantages, and provide
more resources to all of our
communities.
The Student Opportunity Act
Communities Overcoming Violence
significantly helps school districts
that serve high percentages
of low-income students. At
the same time, school districts
across the Commonwealth will
benefit from updates to the existing
funding formula, along
with increased state investment
in other vital education aid programs,
such as transportation,
school buildings and special
education. These new investments
are coupled with policy
updates designed to monitor
and measure progress, support
effective approaches to closing
opportunity gaps, and deliver
results for all students.
Lewis and other legislative
leaders commented on the bill’s
launch.
“The Student Opportunity
Act will make an unprecedented
$1.5 billion investment
in our public schools, ensuring
that school districts across
the Commonwealth have adequate
and equitable resources
to provide all students, especially
those facing adversity,
with a high-quality public
education,” said Lewis. “I look
forward to continuing to work
with my colleagues and all education
stakeholders as this
bill advances in the legislative
process.”
“We know that education
drives opportunity, and that’s
why access to a quality public
education has been a guiding
principle in Massachusetts
since its founding,” said Senate
President Karen Spilka. “With
the Student Opportunity Act,
we recognize that providing
the resources and tools that
students need is both our basic
responsibility and our greatest
path to creating opportunity
in the 21st century. I commend
the work of the Education
Committee in developing
a bill that will help create educational
opportunities to serve
students across the state, now
and throughout their lives.”
“The Student Opportunity
Act builds on our ongoing efforts
to support our neediest
students and to close opportunity
gaps,” said House Speaker
Robert DeLeo. “The bill includes
significant investments,
placing a special emphasis on
English learners and districts
serving high concentrations of
low-income students. In addition,
this bill makes investments
in school buildings, special education
and transportation for
districts across the state. Both
the House and Senate have
taken the noteworthy step of
collaborating, side-by-side, to
craft a bill that reflects a joint
approach to support students.
Thank you to Senate President
Spilka for her leadership on this
issue, and for the hard work
of Chairs Peisch and Lewis to
move this bill forward.”
“The Student Opportunity
Act is the result of the analysis
of input from a wide variety
of stakeholders, including students,
parents, educators, the
business community, as well as
experts in the education field,”
said Peisch. “I want to thank
Senator Lewis – my co-chair –
my fellow committee members,
and legislative staff for their tireless
efforts to craft this legislation.
Today’s executive session
was just the first step in the process
of enacting this legislation.
We all share the common goal
of providing the highest quality
public education for all our children,
and this bill is a giant step
towards achieving that goal.”

The project was funded through
the City’s Community Development

generous donation from John
Preotle of Preotle, Lane & Associates,
and a Malden Arts grant
through the Community Preservation
Committee.
“These improvements are part
of our ongoing efforts to revitalize

were proud to partner with the
City, Malden Arts, and Preotle,
Lane & Associates on this project,”
said Burke. “These improvements
have created more space
for children to play and added
more recreational space to our
downtown.”
Improvements included adding
new play equipment, a
drawing table for children, a
talk tube, and benches. Existing
benches were also repainted,
complementing the existing
“The Wonderful World of Ed
Emberley” mural. In the coming
weeks, Preotle, Lane & Associates
will install a new hoop
fence, planters and trash receptacles.

Is Malden Adding to Global Climate Crisis?
By Kathleen Sullivan
T
he argument about whether
there is a global climate
crisis is no longer a real argument
because science has produced
evidence which demonstrates
that the Earth is warming
at an accelerated rate.
One of the reasons for this accelerated
temperature rise is
something known as heat islands
in urban areas. These can
be asphalt parking lots, street
pavement, buildings and artificial
turf fields. All of these increase
the surface temperature
of the ground which locks in the
heat and causes it to rise into
the surrounding atmosphere.
Urban areas experience 2-7 degree
temperature acceleration
during hot weather compared
to more rural or areas with greater
amounts of vegetation.
Besides the obvious reasons
for urban heat islands: our
streets, sidewalks and buildings,
Malden continues to remove
our grass fields and replace
them with plastic grass
turf fields. Currently, the City of
Malden is home to 5 artificial
turf fields.
There is yet another plan to
remove the grass at the Salemwood
School Field, also known
as, Roosevelt Field and replace it
with a $2.6 million plastic grass
field.
Instead of removing our grass
fields, Malden should be looking
to increase our natural green
spaces and maintain the ones
that we have. Poor drainage is
no excuse for removing 3.75
acres of natural grass which is
acting as a cooling surface in
a highly congested area of our
City which is currently home to
4 of the 5 artificial turf fields in
Malden. Natural grass actually
cools the air through a process
called transpiration. Feel the
grass versus asphalt on a warm
day. Grass also absorbs the carbon
dioxide in the air, removes
pollutants, and releases oxygen.
Malden is the hometown of
Senator Ed Markey, who has
penned the Green New Deal
on a federal level. It seems that
Malden should be doing better
to support the purpose of this
policy which is to increase our
efforts to reduce the current situation
of our climate warming
too rapidly and to be more inclusive
of our environmental justice
neighborhoods when planning
and designing such projects as
Roosevelt Park.
Malden can do better. We
must do better. Our children deserve
better.

Despite strong start, Football Tornadoes fall to Somerville
BOX SCORE
By Nick Toscani
A
strong start did not hold
up for the Malden High
football team on Friday as
host Somerville rallied for
two unanswered, third-quarter
touchdowns in a 27-15
win over the Golden Tornadoes
squad at Dilboy Stadium
in Somerville. It was the
first league game of the newly
reconstituted Greater Boston
League (GBL) for both
teams. The loss left Malden at
0-2 (0-1 GBL) to start the season
as Somerville evened out
at 1-1 (1-0 GBL).
Malden got off to a good
start with a 65-yard scoring
drive to open the game, which
was capped by a 34-yard field
goal by sophomore placekicker
Ronald Juarez. The 3-0 Malden
lead held up until late in
the second quarter when the
turnover bug hit the Golden
Tornadoes once again when
Somerville picked off a pass
to set up a first down at Malden’s
45-yard line. Somerville
took the lead on the very next
play on a 45-yard touchdown
run, and after an extra-point
kick was on top, 7-3.
Malden had played solid defense
to that point, led by defensive
end Eli Beato and linebacker
Gio Memeus, but once
Somerville scored the Highlanders
seemed to take control
of the momentum.
"We were battling, but we
had some setbacks when two
of our top players went out of
the game early for good with
injuries,” Malden coach Steve
Freker said. “We had to change
our game plan and move
some other players into different
positions, and we were not
able to get back into a good
flow offensively.”
Malden turned the ball over
three more times in the third
quarter, and Somerville capitalized
quickly with two more
touchdowns, one on a short
field, starting from their own
9-yard line and another on a
long pass play which beat the
Tornadoes secondary.
Malden was down, 213,
heading into the fourth
quarter but answered back
with pair of long touchdown
strikes. Sophomore quarterback
Shawn Bartholomew hit
for two touchdown passes,

T
he Environmental League

“Amanda has a long-term vision

“She will push Malden to lead

reduction.”
“I am honored to have received
the endorsement of the

dedicated to protecting our environment,

and fighting for public health,”
said Linehan. “I count myself as

Atria Maplewood Place seniors aged 85+
take on “100 Days of Gratitude” Challenge
Public is invited to join in on social media with #GoGrateful
A
tria Maplewood Place
residents are expressing
gratitude in 100 different
ways for the remaining 100
days of 2019. It’s part of Atria’s
100 Days of Gratitude Challenge
and the fourth annual
Go Grateful campaign. The
campaign officially began on
World Gratitude Day on September
21, marking 100 days
until the end of the year.
This year Atria Maplewood
Place residents and staff are
trying to inspire others to also
go grateful for 100 days. Atria
residents have shown gratitude
in previous years by delivering
gift baskets to first responders,
holding pop-up tai
chi classes in parks, organizing
flash mobs and setting
up “appreciation stations” in
their communities. This year
they collected school supplies
during the whole month of
August to donate to Cheverus
School in Malden.
The public is also invited to
share their #GoGrateful stories
on social media. For every
post on Facebook using the
hashtag #GoGrateful through
the 100 Days of Gratitude Challenge,
Atria will also donate $1
to PACER’s National Bullying

“I travelled the world when

where we are, each of us is human
and can connect by giving
gratitude; even a small
act matters,” said Florence

gratitude so deeply that we

For Anna Geoffroy, a seat on
the School Committee would
be an opportunity to put years
of experience as a political activist
to work in a new arena.
A freelance graphic designer
who grew up in Amherst, Geoffroy
moved to Malden in 2010
and watched her two children
move through the city’s school
system. She feels she can put
her experiences advocating for
her children and coping with
challenges such as transportation
and school transfers to
use helping other parents facing
similar situations.
Geoffroy said she’s been
close to other School Committee
members and she’s
watched the committee grapple
with different issues and
problems. “I think being on the
School Committee is one of the
least appreciated and hardest
jobs,” she said, adding that students
and parents blame committee
members for all sorts of
problems.
“It seemed like a rough job,
and I think I could do it,” she
said.

January Coalition which organized
the 2018 Boston/Cambridge
Women’s March and a
longtime peace activist, Geoffroy
has found herself in plenty
of situations where people disagree.
She feels her experiences
building coalitions, mediating
conflicts and lobbying for
change are skills that she can
put to use as a member of the
School Committee.
Geoffroy feels curriculum
should be expanded so that
civics is taught at a much
younger age. “We need to pay
more attention to the ongoing
distress students feel,” she
said. “When kids see the world
as a scary place, they want to
understand the mechanism
of how it works and which
parts of government they can
change.”
A strong supporter of the
Promise Act, Geoffroy feels
Malden teachers, parents
and students should understand
how to lobby for
changes in school funding.
She supports MaldenCORE’s
efforts to empower students
and teachers of color, and
she would like to see the
district launch an LGBTQ for
middle school students. She
would also like to see the disvas

trict take a closer look at social
and emotional learning
and to focus on digital literacy
and online safety.
“Whatever we’re teaching
our kids, it’s not enough,” she
said.
Geoffroy believes the district
need to do more to reach out
and engage parents. “There
are a lot of parents who don’t
feel heard, and there are places
online where they meet and
gripe,” she said. “I’m in those
spaces and I can make sure I
am available to those families.”
Geoffroy also feels the district
needs to improve communication
with families who
do not speak English. She concedes
translation is expensive
but adds it must be done.
The district’s decision to
eliminate transportation had a
major impact on Ward 2 school
families, and Geoffroy hopes to
help neighbors find alternative
solutions. She is a big proponent
of families and neighbors
working together to come up
with adventurous solutions to
problems large and small.
“Campaigning has made this
an interesting year for me,” she
said. “I’m excited to be part of
this year’s freshman class of
candidates.”

each household a $10 fee added
to water bills.
Matheson said Christenson
promised to get rid of the bags
eight years ago but stuck with
the Pay-As-You-Throw system
until JRM, the city’s trash hauler,
demanded changes in curbside
collection that led to the new
proposal. He described the new
plan as an unfair tax increase
that would cost residents who
own two-family homes an additional
$240 a year. Matheson
proposed selling barrels and
bins to residents at a fair-market
price.
But Christenson said Matheson
never came through with
a promised plan on how to pay
JRM the millions of dollars the
company charges to collect the
city’s trash and recycling. “The
councillor used the word plan
– where is it?” asked Christenson,
adding that he and his staff
crafted a plan that eliminates
the blue bags. “It may take us
awhile, but we follow through.
We never give up.”
When asked about the city’s
road repair program, Matheson
said he would conduct a streetby-street
audit to assess what
every street requires for road
and sidewalk repairs and tree
plantings. “We should take a holistic
approach,” he said.
Christenson shot down that
proposal, again criticizing
Matheson for failing to follow
up on ideas with actual plans.
“He won’t do that, he would
have done that by now,” said
Christenson, who then asked
lice officers, firefighters and
teachers.
Christenson said Matheson’s
campaign echoed the negativity
one sees on the national level.
“My administration has set a
positive tone with accessibility,
transparency and balance, he
said, adding that he is proud of

the audience if they had heard
of the Traffic Mitigation Committee.
Christenson said Matheson
launched the committee a
couple years ago but has only
held two meetings. Christenson
also said Matheson’s Hospital
Redevelopment Advisory
Committee also languished
because of a lack of leadership.
Over the next 15 years, Malden
expects to receive $19 million
in mitigation money from
the casino in Everett. Christenson
criticized Matheson’s suggestions
that the money could
be used to buy the hospital site
or to replace the city’s remaining
lead pipes. He said the city
needs to take a “cautionary approach”
and assess its needs as
the money becomes available.
“That’s a classic politician’s response,”
said Matheson, adding
that it’s a problem when
money comes into the general
fund and residents don’t know
where it’s going. “We need to
make sure that it benefits all of
us,” he added.

that the Malden River is a tremendous
resource with a lot

community asset. The both believe

support expanding community

The forum wrapped up with

candidates a chance to circle
back to their main campaign
themes.
Christenson told voters that
Matheson has promised road
and infrastructure improvements
at no cost to residents. “If
it sounds too good to be true, it
is,” he said, adding, once again,
that Matheson says what he’s
going to do, not how he’s going
to do it. He suggested that
to make good on his promises,
Matheson would need to
cut core services and layoff poall
that’s been accomplished.
“We are about establishing a
sense of community that defines
who we are as a city.”
Matheson described the mayoral
race as a great opportunity
because it forces candidates
to be accountable to the community.
“The power shifts back
to the people,” he said, adding
that it is important for residents
to make the most of that shift.
Matheson said that before
the race residents didn’t hear
much from Christenson about
open space, affordable housing
or the Malden River. He urged
voters to look at a record of
eight years of blue trash bags,
dense apartment buildings,
more traffic, millions of dollars
in new fines, soaring water
bills, broken roads and broken
promises.
“Malden needs change now,”
he said. “I’m running for mayor
because this is a chance for me
to use all of my education, my
experience and everything I’m
made of to do a lot of good for
a lot of people,” he said.

friend, this is the end, my only
friend, the end...” The topic of
discussion recently at the Italian
American Citizens Club was
the many barrooms in Malden
in years past. And who doesn’t
have a story of their favorite Malden
“dive bar” from the good
old days?! And who also doesn’t
love a comfortable place to sit
around with old friends and
talk about those stories from
the good old days?! A place
where “everybody knows your
name.” Patrick’s in Maplewood
Square being a prime example
these days. Malden was home
to many dive bars or “old men’s
bars” as they are often referred
to: places where working-class
men and women of Malden
would gather and talk out the
day. Maybe share a glass or two
of Ballantine Ale after a hard
day’s work at Converse Rubber,
developments, the Malden River
is on its way to becoming
a central open space amenity
for all three cities. Information
about the Mystic and Malden
River Greenways will be displayed
at the event.
“Our hope is that by bringing
people to the Malden River, they
will recognize the value of waterfront
access and become advocates
for the river and future
park and path improvements,”
said MyRWA’s Greenways Director,
Amber Christoffersen.
Lewis Candies or Faulkner Mfg.
(substitute Schlitz, Pickwick Ale
or ’Gansett if you wish). All were
unique in their own special way.
Where you spent this leisure
time depended on many divergent
factors. Maybe it was located
in your neighborhood, close
to home (Salemwood, Jessells,
Hole in the Wall Pub). Or possibly
they served the “stiffest”
drink (Morrison’s, The Highland,
The Rosebud). Maybe they extended
you a line of credit as
you drank through your Friday
paycheck (West End Bar & Grille,
Richard’s Pub, Jack Haney’s). Or
maybe they served the best spaghetti
& meatball dinner (Tricca’s,
Brandano’s, Ferrari’s). That
was your bar. None had better
neon, though, than the Horseshoe
Bar & Grille on Exchange
Street – the garish neon sign
above the doorway greeting
you with open arms. It was a
typical watering hole of that
era where drinks were cheap,
the overhead kept to a minimum
and Malden’s finest gathered.
The Horseshoe occupied a
space for many years on the opposite
side of where Exchange
Street Bistro now sits. From
what I remember you entered
the front door and immediately
stepped back in time. Visualize
good old-fashioned wood paneling
that we all grew up with.
Throw in leather booths and
a time when neon ruled, and
you were home sweet home.
Strictly a working-class bar as
most lounges were in Malden
in those days. Neighborhood
spaces where we gathered with
companions or family members
– in person, not virtually – and
made friendships that were forever
valued and would last deep
into our lifetimes.

OBITUARIES
Robert C. “Bob”
Burgess, Sr.
A
retired
Superintendent
of
Pine Banks
Park in Melrose,
passed
away peacefully
after a
lengthy illness on
Sept 18th. Bob was
born in Malden in
1933, the son of Henry C. and
Willeva Burgess. He was raised
and educated in Malden, and after
completing his education, he
enlisted in the US Army proudly
serving as part of an allied coalition
in Eastern Europe. It was
here that Bob, still a teenager,
would collect chocolate and other
rations and make regular trips
to visit children orphaned by the
war in Europe. A commitment to
children that would last the rest
of his life. In 1957, Bob married
his sweetheart, Doris G. Guevin
in Stoneham, MA. They shared
62 years together as husband
and wife. Soon after their marriage
he began working at Pine
Banks Park in Malden/Melrose.
By 1983, Bob became the Superintendent.
He was dedicated
to the park, and loved working
there until his retirement in
2002. While there, he started the
Christmas tradition of the annual
visit from Santa and continued
to play the role for over 25
years. Also, with the help of his
lifelong friend George Hallisey,
he would visit children at Malden
Hospital and homes around
the city. He was instrumental in
the Boys Scouts of America and
Eagle Scout programs at Pine
Banks, the Rugby Club, numerous
sporting leagues of Malden
and Melrose as well as the installation
of the children’s playground.
In addition, Bob was active
with the Princemen Chorus
of the Lt. Norman Prince VFW
post of Melrose, and a member
of the American Legion in Andover.
Bob was devoted to his family,
especially his grandchildren
who lovingly called him Papa.
He is survived by his wife of 62
years, Doris Burgess, his children,
Cheryl A. Burgess of Lawrence,
Scott A. Burgess of Lawrence,
John M. Burgess and wife,
the late Donna of Malden and
Lawrence, and Stephen D. Burgess
and wife Elizabeth of Londonderry,
NH, and his grandchildren,
James, Lilianna, and Bobby.
In addition to his parents, Bob
was preceded in death by his beloved
son Robert C. Burgess and
brother Henry “Chet” Burgess.

an evening of Eastern Mediterranean
and Middle Eastern music
at the John and Christina Markey
Malden Senior Community Center
(7 Washington St. in Malden)
on October 4 at 7:30 p.m.
United by a passion for the
authentic music of this part of
the world and a desire to share
it, members of this band borrow
from the Café Aman era in
song and spirit as they offer music
from Turkey, Armenia, Greece,
Cyprus, and other Mediterranean
and Middle Eastern influences
sung in Greek, Turkish and Arabic.
Burcu Güleç (vocals), Melissa
Lund (oud), George Lernis (percussion),
Mal Barsamian (clarinet)
and Panos Aivas (kanoun) perform
the complex rhythms and
haunting melodies of regional
music on traditional instruments.
They love to unite different communities
through music. You will
find yourself dancing, clapping
and singing along.
In 2018, Muscari performed
in Malden at The Gallery at 480
Main St. in Malden to a wildly
enthusiastic and ethnically diverse
audience. Many had never
heard this style of music but
were awed. The room felt electric
and the audience transported.
One audience member said,
“I have never heard anything like
this. Amazing!”
Mal Barsamian (clarinet), Panos Aivas (kanoun), Burcu Güleç (vocals),
Melissa Lund (oud) and George Lernis (percussion)
Muscari is the kind of band
that does so much more than
offer music. It is five musicians
who play or sing with exquisite
skill, love the music they play,
are generous in life and during
performances and obviously
care about humanity. During the
2018 concert and soon the 2019
concert on October 4, when
Muscari shares music with an audience,
a vibrant community full
of warmth, curiosity, and excitement
forms.
Tickets are available online
and at the door. For tickets and
more information, visit thegalleryinc.com.
Admission
for adults is $15 and
for seniors/students is $10. Members
of the Malden Senior Center
are eligible for a discount by contacting
