THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 15, 2021 Page 3 It is said in Malden… By Steve Freker hat many Malden residents and people from outside the city attended visiting hours for the late Jaden Brito-White at the Weir-MacCuish Funeral Home on Salem Street Monday night. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning. T **** That nearly 500 people combined to donate almost $22,000 to a GoFundMe page to help Jaden’s family defray expenses. **** That the Salemwood School and its spacious fi eldhouse and larger parking lot will be used as a main Malden vaccination site at some point this year when the vaccine begins to roll out in large numbers of doses, Malden Health Director Chris Webb told the Malden City Council in an appearance at a Council Committee of the Whole meeting held Tuesday night. **** That the Malden Licensing Board has a full agenda at its upcoming Tuesday, January 26 virtual meeting, including application requests for liquor license transfers by two well-known Malden locations on Eastern Avenue which apparently are changing hands: Jack’s Ristorante, 655 Eastern Ave. (Rt. 60), to Nguyen & Le., Inc., and Sousaku Bistro, 166 Eastern Ave., to Malden Sky, Inc. **** That the Malden School Committee, directed by its chairperson, Mayor Gary Christenson, observed a moment of silence to honor the memory of the late Malden High Class of 2020 graduate Jaden Brito-White. **** That there is no school on Monday, January 18 in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and for the fi rst time since 1993, there will be no North Shore Black Women’s Association (NSBWA) luncheon held in honor of the civil rights icon, with the 28th annual event cancelled due to COVID-19. **** That the fi rst Malden High School team practice – of any kind – in nearly a calendar year took place Monday when the Golden Tornado co-ed gymnastics team, led by head coach Katie Bowdridge, began workouts inside the school.
