Malden ADVOCATE Vol. 29, No. 2 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net Published Every Friday 617-387-2200 Friday, January 10, 2020 Inaugural ceremony featured tradition and talent By Barbara Taormina T he lions roared, the band played, the Choral Arts Society sang and Malden’s elected officials were sworn in for a new term. A crowd of families, friends and supporters turned out Monday night for the city’s inauguration at Malden High’s Jenkins Auditorium. City Messenger Peter Levine and the Malden Police and Fire Department’s color guard added traditional pomp to the event; religious leaders offered prayers and blessings; and the Malden High Step Team and the Namaste Dance Troupe brought energy and color to the ceremony. Associate Justice Kenneth V. Desmond, Jr. of the Massachusetts Appeals Court administered the oath of office to Mayor Gary Christenson, who is beginning his third term as Malden’s mayor. Christenson spoke briefly and highlighted the new police station, the Teen Enrichment Center and the downtown’s revitalization as examples of meaningful change and progress the city has made since he was first elected in 2012. He said the city councillors and members of the school committee, most of whom were incumbents who were elected to new terms, are beginning a journey of new opportunities. “The cost is hard work for those who choose to get involved in a way that will be fulfilling most of the time, frustrating some of the time and memorable all of the time,” he said. Christenson said he wakes up each day just as excited to head INAUGURAL | SEE PAGE 7 Ward 8 Councillor Jadeane Sica –the 2020 City Council President – was presented an award for her service as City Council President in 2019.

Typically, the gavel changes hands each year, with councillors electing members with seniority who have yet to serve as City Council president. But Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson announced that during the brief closed-door meeting held during the inauguration, councillors voted to reelect Sica. It was only the second time a person was chosen to serve backto-back years as City Council president, said Anderson. The first time was in 2014 when councillors voted to stick with Anderson as City Council president for a second consecutive year. City Council presidents preside over City Council meetings, appoint committee chairs and members and makes sure council discussions take place in a democratic way. Anderson said that over the past year, Sica brought grace, style, innovation and fairness to the role. “We look forward to her leadership next year,” he added. Sica thanked fellow councillors for the show of confidence and said 2019 was a year the council accomplished important work in a way that should make all members proud. “As we enter 2020, we are unitKEEP ROLES | SEE PAGE 10

The holidays are over, the days are cold and short, there is less light for Vitamin D, there are fewer nutrient-rich foods around and it’s harder to get exercise than in the nice months.

People suffering from SAD can set themselves into a depression, which is the most common ailment in those aged 60 and over.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 10, 2020 Page 3 Malden: Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday...saluting Hall of Famer Helen “Nordie” Nordquist By Peter F. Levine A ll-Star Hall of Fame Inductee Helen Nordquist started her Hall of Fame journey at Beebe Jr. High, where from 19441947 she excelled athletically on the playing fields of Malden, in 1947 receiving a Beebe “B” and a certificate for excellence in athletics (the first female ever to receive this recognition at Beebe, by the way)! At MHS she was a three-sport star – field hockey, basketball and softball. In 1950, her senior year, “Nordie” co-captained the field hockey team and received the “Best Girl Athlete” honor and the Kappa Phi Sorority Cup for “the outstanding girl athlete.” From there it was on to the “All American Girls Professional Baseball League,” which is a story that deserves its own space. Which I will provide at a later date. Picked up pieces at the Hall of Fame Banquet... • The Malden High School Golden Tornado Club’s 33rd Annual Hall of Fame Banquet and Induction Ceremony on Sat., Nov. 23 at the Moose Hall was a most special night. The stars came out to see some of Malden High’s best and brightest take their rightful place in MHS sports history. • Athletes, such as Chelsea Choate from the Class of 2006, who took her place right alongside her sister Olivia from the Class of 2001, making them one of the few sister tandems to make the Hall. Congrats ladies! Well deserved! • Bobby McVicar received a hard-earned and way overdue “Distinguished Service Award,” and according to Master of Ceremonies Peter “Panama” Carroll may have had the shortest acceptance speech in the 33year history of the event. Kudos Bobby for (hopefully) starting a new trend. • By the way, Panama did another excellent job moving the night along with that wit and wisdom he acquired hanging around Amerige Park and “Icky’s” as a young one. • John “Cuddles” Willcox from the Class of 1972 was inducted. I had a great conversation with Malden Teen Enrichment Center Director Cathy MacMullin a few days after the ceremony, and she reminisced that when she was young, all the kids in the neighborhood (herself included) wanted to be #23 – Willkie’s number. Cathy mentioned that Willkie’s late mom Eunice would have loved to have been there SNOW BLOWER SALES, SERVICE & REPAIRS Pickup/Delivery Available 781-289-6466 AUTOTECH 1989 SINCE Get Your Vehicle Winter Ready! 2019 Golden Tornado Sports Hall of Fame inductee Helen “Nordie” Nordquist with Sheridan Street’s Jenelle Devits of Malden High School’s Class of 2005.

Cathy is also a member of the Hall of Fame MHS Class of 1977. • Wiston Jeune (looking like a boss with a capital “B” by the way) had the full house laughing out loud during his acceptance speech – a fine young man whom I have written about in the past – from Malden High School Class of 2006 also. • The Moose Hall was full! “SRO” with possibly 250 Malden High School athletic supporters (no wisecracks!) cheering on baseball legend Helen Nordquist from the Class of 1950 all the way to Marcello Prada-Silva from the Class of 2007. Many of those making a ruckus were Willcoxes, Fitzpatricks and Nolans filling table after table in support of the Cuddles Fan Club. • Golden Tornado President Steve Freker gave props to former President Dom Fermano (in attendance with his trusty sidekick Diego Barricelli) with a well-deserved homage as he noted that the club “really took off” when Dom took control those many years ago. • Many athletes and classmates from the Class of ’72 were there in support of one of their own, Johnny Willcox. They (seriously) all looked great still very much active playing golf together a couple times a year to keep in touch. Tommy Restuccia wasn’t there; seems he couldn’t be located – but fear not – I gave his contact info to Peter Mayne, so Tommy, expect a call soon! • Great to see my pal Mike Byrnes at the banquet. For a big guy he was smooth on the hoop court! And smooth in real life also! • Mayor Christenson was (of course) in attendance sitting front and center enjoying every moment of the event. Really enjoying it! Not feigning interest as many pols do as they go through the motions at these sorts of events. As he finished up his (brief) comments he remarked that he “didn’t want to be ‘recalled’ so he was ‘indeed going to be brief.’” “Only thing MALDEN: TODAY | SEE PAGE 6 505 Broadway Everett, MA 02149 Tel: 617-387-1120 www.gkdental.com • Family Dentistry • Crowns • Bridges • Veneers/Lumineers • Dental Implants • All on 4 Dental Implants • Emergency Dentist • Kid Friendly Dentist • Root Canals • Dentures • Invisalign Braces • Snap On Smile • Teeth Whitening We are the smile care experts for your entire family OIL CHANGE SPECIAL Up to 5 Quarts of Oil (Most Vehicles) Includes FREE Brake Inspection & Safety Check Only $24.95 DRIVE IT - PUSH IT - TOW IT!

(Photo Courtesy of the City of Malden) E ast Boston Savings Bank has donated $5,000 to support the City of Malden’s affordable housing strategies. The funds will help cover analysis the City needs to craft an inclusionary zoning policy. Inclusionary zoning is considered a best practice for municipalities concerned about affordability and the housing crisis, and has been a policy priority for Mayor Gary Christenson. The analysis will give Malden leaders the data they need to develop a policy that produces the greatest share of affordable homes and helps meet the needs of all Malden residents. “This generous contribution brings us closer to passing an inclusionary zoning ordinance and making Malden a more affordable city for all of our residents,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “I’m proud that we have a partner like East Boston Savings Bank to help us preserve our community and move Malden forward.” “Once I heard more about what Mayor Christenson was looking to accomplish by creating an inclusionary zoning policy the Bank was all for it. The results of the analysis will help create the new policy supporting the City’s affordable housing strategies and protect the City’s diverse community as well as provide affordable housings to its residents,” said Richard J. Gavegnano, President and CEO of East Boston Savings Bank. Inclusionary zoning policies leverage private sector development by requiring residential developments to build a certain percentage of deed-restricted affordable homes. Policies vary by community, and are most successful when they consider that community’s real estate market, zoning restrictions, affordable housing needs, development costs, and other factors. If a policy sets the affordability requirements too high or too low, the community could lose out on the number of affordable homes that would be built. To avoid this problem, the Mayor proposed commissioning an analysis to help inform Malden policymakers. The City Council unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the effort. The Malden Redevelopment Authority (MRA) has been working closely with the Mayor’s office on affordable housing strategies, including inclusionary zoning. Having worked with East Boston Savings Bank on several public initiatives before, the MRA approached the bank about inclusionary zoning analysis late last year. The Bank quickly agreed to support the effort with their contribution. “This donation continues East Boston Savings Bank’s long-standing commitment to the Malden community,” said MRA Executive Director Deborah Burke. “We are grateful to have such engaged community partners, and look forward to the results of our efforts: a research-driven inclusionary zoning policy that protects our diverse community and provides affordable homes for Malden residents.” In addition to inclusionary zoning, the Mayor and MRA have pushed for an Affordable Housing Trust Fund and a Security Deposit Pilot Program. The City Council recently adopted the Affordable Housing Trust Fund ordinance, and the Security Deposit Pilot Program has been under review by the Community Preservation Commission (CPC) since being submitted by community partner Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD) in September.

What started with a group of women executives in 1919 in Buffalo, N.Y., became an international organization in 62 countries with over 29,000 members. The Centennial Awards given by Zonta International District 1 recognize a person or organization that shows exceptional dedication to empowering women through advocacy and/or service working or living in New England and/or Nova Scotia. “We are confident that this award will broaden our local networks and will strengthen our relationships with like-minded people and organizations. We don't want to live through 100 more years to achieve gender equality,” said Zonta International President/CEO Susanne von Bassewitz. The District 1 Centennial Award was presented to Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan by Joanne Puopolo, Past District 1 Governor and current Centennial Chair, at the recent District 1 Fall Conference held at the Four Points Sheraton As District Attorney, Ryan has Shown from left to right are Zonta International District 1 Liaison Margaret Bateman, Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan, Zonta International District 1 Governor Elizabeth Hart and State Senator Jason Lewis.

Before becoming District Attorney, she served the Office in various leadership positions, including General Counsel, Chief of the Domestic Violence Unit, Chief of the Elder/Disabled Unit and Senior Counsel in the Family Protection Bureau. A hallmark of Ryan’s administration has been her equal commitment to addressing crime and other public safety issues through innovative prevention programs and nontraditional community partnerships. Representative Ultrino reminds residents that Massachusetts Health Connector open enrollment continues through Jan. 23 S tate Representative Steven Ultrino (D-Malden) reminds constituents that Open Enrollment for health insurance coverage through the Massachusetts Health Connector runs through January 23, 2020, providing residents additional time to find affordable coverage that delivers a wide range of benefits and makes it easier and less costly to get health care. Uninsured residents in Massachusetts have until December 23 to apply, pick a plan and make a payment in order to have coverage starting January 1, 2020. For coverage effective February 1, 2020, individuals and families enrolling through the Health Connector have until January 23 to apply for coverage, select a plan and make a payment. In contrast, Open Enrollment in other states might end as early as December 15. “It is critical that individuals are aware of the extended Open Enrollment period that is available to Massachusetts residents so they do not miss out on the opportunity to enroll in health insurance coverage for the upcoming year,” said Ultrino. “Making sure you and your loved ones have health insurance covConnector’s plans meet the state’s coverage standards, ensuring that vital services – like annual physicals, pregnancy and maternity care and mental ULTRINO | SEE PAGE 7 Steven Ultrino State Representative erage is one of the most important things a person can do, and individuals may not even realize that they may be eligible for financial subsidies to help make premiums more affordable if they apply through the Health Connector.” The Health Connector offers up to 56 plans from nine of the state’s leading carriers, providing members with a variety of plans to meet their individual needs.
