MHS Swim Star Ochoa Crowned Div. 1 State Champ See Page 5 Vol. 20, No. 8 -FREE- www.advocatenews.net Published Every Friday City Council approves local Cannabis Control Commission By Barbara Taormina A five-member Cannabis Control Commission will grant and oversee local licenses for marijuana-related businesses that open in Malden. The City Council this week approved the creation of the commission that will include the police chief, the building commissioner and a third member of city government with financial experience. The two remaining seats will be fi lled by appointments: one from Mayor Gary Christenson, the other by the City Council. The Ordinance Committee originally intended the city’s Licensing Board, which grants licenses for the sale of alcohol in Malden, to be responsible for local licenses for recreational marijuana shops and other cannabis-related businesses. But Licensing Board members said they couldn’t be involved because state law limits their authority to businesses selling alcohol. A local license requirement will be part of the city’s marijuana ordinance, which is still being crafted by the Ordinance Committee. But Ordinance Committee Chairperson Craig Spadafora said members decided to break out this piece of ordinance to allow time for appointments to be made and approved, and to give the commission itself time to get off the 617-387-2200 Friday, February 22, 2019 rida ebruary 22, 2019 ground. “This is to fast-track the process,” said Spadafora, adding that creating the commission now would avoid delays in granting local licenses once the city’s ordinance is complete. Before applying for a license from the Cannabis Control Commission, marijuana businesses must fi rst fi nd a location within the areas where zoning rules allow them to operate. Businesses must hold an informational meeting with the neighborhood and then apply for a special permit which will be reviewed by the Planning Board and approved or disapproved by the City Council. CANNABIS | SEE PAGE 8 New snow removal rules put on hold By Barbara Taormina A proposal to expand snow removal rules for property owners has been put on hold until next winter. Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley and Councillor-at-Large Steve Winslow proposed making property owners responsible for clearing the sidewalk ramps on corners in addition to the sidewalks surrounding their property. They also proposed cutting the time allowed to shovel from 24 hours after a snowfall to 12 hours for businesses and multifamily homes with fi ve or more units. The current ordinance requires property owners and occupants to clear a 36-inch wide path along all sidewalks abutting their property. Those who fail to shovel in time are in line for a written warning from the city for their fi rst violation. After that, the fi nes kick in. For residential properties the $2.54 GALLON actual fi nes will start with $50 for the second violation, $100 for the third time snow is left on the sidewalk and $150 for subsequent violations. Commercial property owners will receive a written warning for the fi rst offence and graduated fines of $100, $200 and $300 for subsequent violations. O’Malley said leaving the sidewalk ramps covered with snow creates a problem for pedestrians and particularly people with disabilities. And there are other issues. “A lot of people end up walking around, and leaving sidewalks un-shoveled impedes business,” said O’Malley, who wanted the new rules in place before the next snowstorm. Public Works Director Bob Knox agreed and wrote in a brief letter to the council that the changes would improve “safety, walkability and accountability.” But other councilors questioned the added burden the new rules would place on some residents, particularly seniors, and they opposed the timing of introducing new snow regulations. “There’s another month of winter left and for us to just throw this in … it’s tough enough for people who live on corners,” said Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon, who added that snowbanks on corners can reach as high as six feet. Condon proposed tabling the proposal and giving it a fuller review in the spring. “I don’t agree with changing the rules of the game halfway through winter,” said Ward 3 Councillor John Matheson, adding that at some point, the council might want to consider if the city should be responsible for clearing sidewalks. Winslow conceded it really wouldn’t be fair to throw out new rules for this year. However, he stressed the need to make some changes to increase safety for the 40 percent of the city’s population that doesn’t drive and noted that Boston requires property owners to clear sidewalk ramps. “Also, if businesses aren’t aggressive about clearing sidewalks, the snow gets trampled and turns to ice that creates a long-term hazard,” he said. “It’s a big issue for our residents with disabilities.” MHS Student meets with U.S. House Speaker Pelosi at State of the Union alden High School senior and West Point nominee Angela "Angie" Tejada-Soliz, at right, got the chance of a lifetime when she recently attended the Presidential State of the Union Address in Washington, D.C. as the guest of Malden U.S. Rep.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE - Friday, February 22, 2019 Page 3 ~ Letter to the Editor ~ “Make a resolution for a healthier life” Dear Editor, February is American Heart Month. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking is a leading cause of heart disease. Smoking can lead to the narrowing of blood vessels and high blood pressure and quitting smoking greatly improves heart health. So, make a resolution for a healthier life for you and your family. If you’re a smoker, quitting is the most important step you can take to protect your health, decreasing the risk of lung disease, cancer, and even early death. If you want to quit and tried in the past, don’t give up. It often takes several tries before you can quit for good. However, with planning and support, you can become tobacco-free. The Massachusetts Smokers’ Helpline off ers both telephone and online support 24 hours a day, seven days a week (with some holiday exceptions) by calling 1-800-QUIT NOW (1800-784-8669) or through KeepTryingMA.org. Online support includes quit planning tools and chatting with others who are trying to quit. Free nicotine patches, gum and lozenges are available to eligible users. The combination of coaching and quit-smoking medication can make you nearly three times as likely to quit for good! Quitting smoking can be hard – here are fi ve ways to make it easier: 1. Set a quit date. Choose a quit day this month. Give yourself about two weeks to prepare. 2. Tell your family and friends you plan to quit. Share your quit date with important people and ask for their support. Daily encouragement and planned activities can help you stay on track. 3. Anticipate and plan for challenges. The urge to smoke is short – usually only three to fi ve minutes. Those moments can feel intense. Before your quit date, write down healthy ways to cope with cravings so you can get past them. Healthy choices include: Drinking water Taking a walk Calling or texting a friend 4. Remove cigarettes and other tobacco from your daily routine. Throw away your cigarettes, lighters, and ashtrays. Clean your car and home. Old cigarette odors can cause cravings. 5. Talk to your doctor about quit-smoking medications. Over-the-counter or prescription medicines can help you quit for good; your quit coach and pharmacist can provide guidance. For more information, call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit KeepTryingMA.org. Make the choice to quit today, making February, American Hearth Month, the beginning to a smoke-free and healthier you!

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE - Friday, February 22, 2019 Page 5 MHS senior Kevin Ochoa crowned Div. 1 State Swim Champ Third Golden Tornadoes swimmer in school history By Steve Freker O ver 300 teams and thousands of swimmers jump into the pool to compete on the high school circuit each year, but only 25 student-athletes can call themselves State Champions in each division when the last lap is completed. Count Malden High School senior Kevin Ochoa in that number as he became just the third Golden Tornadoes swimmer in school history to be crowned a swimming State Champ. Ochoa is the MIAA Division 1 Boys State Champion in the 100-yard butterfl y event with a winning time of 51.87 seconds, just outdistancing sophomore Scott Spear of Reading, who placed second at 51.93. In came right down to the wire,” said longtime Malden High head coach Paul DeVincentis, himself a former standout Golden Tornadoes swimmer in the 1990s. “We are all thrilled for Kevin’s accomplishment. He has worked so hard for four years here and has been one of the guys we can really count on day in and day out.” “He’s [Ochoa] truly earned his spot in school history and certainly earned it with all the eff ort he’s put in through the years. This is the biggest reward and we are so happy for him,” Coach DeVincentis added.

Malden got some ultra-clutch free throw shooting down the stretch with three players, junior Cameron Lloyd (21 points) and seniors Robens Garcia and Franklin Chen all sinking both ends of 1-and-1 free throw shooting situations in the fi nal 42 seconds of play. “We really stepped up as a team,” coach Nally said. “Those were all pressure free throws... and we hit all of them.” Nally said Chen’s contributions were especially noteworthy since he came off the bench cold to replace an injured player (senior Billy Stickney) to shoot the free throws after Stickney could not play any longer after getting knocked down. “The place was going crazy with fans screaming and stomping their feet, but Franklin [Chen] just buried both of them,” coach Nally recalled. Malden kept the pressure on in the overtime period, and the winning basket was a simple inbounds play where Lloyd broke free from a lineup at the free throw line and went in untouched for a layup. “It was something we practiced just the day before and it worked perfectly. The kids were so excited that we won and still had a chance to make the state tourney,” coach Nally said. “It definitely had a state tourney atmosphere.

ChereBASKETBALL | SEE PAGE 12 BOSTON – Massachusetts Senate President Karen Spilka announced last week that Senator Jason Lewis has been appointed Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Education in the Massachusetts Legislature. Senator Lewis was also appointed to a leadership position on the Senate Ways and Means Committee, which is responsible for crafting the annual state budget and reviewing most fi scal and policy matters. “I’m excited to Chair the Education Committee, since the challenge of ensuring adequate and equitable funding for public schools was the issue that fi rst motivated me to run for the state legislature,” said Senator Lewis. “While we should celebrate the Commonwealth’s national leadership in student performance and educational excellence, we must also redouble our eff orts to address unacceptable achievement and opportunity gaps that plague our low-income students, students of color, and English language learners. It is both a moral and economic imperative that we address these fundamental inequities.” Several years ago, Senawww.reverealuminumwindow.com tor Lewis filed legislation that created the Foundation Budget Review Commission (FBRC). This bipartisan commission spent a year studying school finance issues and received input from education stakeholders across Massachusetts. The FBRC’s 2015 report confirmed the gaps in the foundation budget and estimated that we are shortchanging our public schools by $1-2 billion annually, with the greatest harm being done to our poorest communities. In the years since, the Massachusetts Senate has twice passed legislation to implement FBRC’s recommendations. Unfortunately, at the end of the previous legislative session in 2018, the House and Senate were unable to reach fi nal agreement on the details of the necessary changes to the foundation budget and Chapter 70 formula. Leaders from Beacon Hill and beyond have all indicated that fi xing the formula is a top priority this year, and as Senate Chair of the Education Committee, Senator Lewis will play a key role in deliberation and negotiations on any education-funding legislation. Senator Lewis was also appointed Vice Chair of the State Senator Jason Lewis Committee on Labor and Workforce Development, where he served during the last legislative session as committee chairman, accomplishing major policy achievements, such as the passage of a $15 per hour minimum wage and the adoption of paid family and medical leave statewide. He plans to continue his work to foster economic justice and greater opportunity for working families across the Commonwealth. Senator Lewis was appointed to serve on the Community Development and Small Businesses Committee, where he intends to use his role to continue to advocate for downtown revitalization in the communities of the Fifth Middlesex District and to support small businesses throughout Massachusetts. Additionally, he will serve as a member of the Marijuana Policy Committee, as the Legislature continues to guide the safe implementation of legal adult-use marijuana in the state. CANNABIS | FROM PAGE 1 Businesses that meet zoning and site requirements must then negotiate a host community agreement with the Mayor’s Office which will be approved by the City Council.

Orsino said the committee received 20 pre-applications and 14 full applications that were due last September. “Among those, eight really stood out,” she said, adding that applicants for projects that weren’t funded in this cycle are encouraged to resubmit their project proposals for the next round of funding. The committee plans to hold a public meeting in March to reintroduce the goals of community preservation and the process of pitching a project proposal. The committee is required to channel 10 percent of its annual revenue to projects that support affordable housing. Although there are no projects in that category this year, the committee can continue to bank its affordable housing money until there’s a feasible project proposal on the table. Mayor Gary Christenson has already accepted the committee’s recommendations, and now the Finance Committee will review the list before it becomes offi cial. But several councilors have already weighed in with their support for the committee’s recommendations. “Every single one of these requests looks like a positive project,” said Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon, who was pleased to see funding for additional work at the World Ward I monument. Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora said he looks forward to future rounds of project proposals and recommendations from the committee. “It’s never easy when you have a pool of ideas from the community,” he said. “But this gives us the ability to do things we always wanted.” ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ MALDEN BOARD OF APPEAL PUBLIC HEARING The Malden Board of Appeal will hold a public hearing at the John and Christina Markey Malden Community Center, 7 Washington Street, Malden, at 6:30 P.M. on Wednesday, March 20, 2019 on Petition 19-004 by 100 Maplewood Street LLC, for a variance of Section 400.1.4.9 - Offices, 400.1.4.13 - Retail Sales, 400.1.4.14 - Retail Services, Chapter 12, of the Revised Ordinances of 1991 as Amended of the City of Malden, Namely Dimensional Controls - Side Yard Setbacks, As per plans CMID-028536-2019, at the property known as and numbered 100 Maplewood Street, Malden, MA and also known by City Assessor’s Parcel ID #127-433-302.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE - Friday, February 22, 2019 Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local legislators’ votes on roll calls from January 30 and January 31. All roll calls are on proposed changes to House and Senate rules. There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. ALLOW 30 MINUTES TO READ AMENDMENTS (H 2019) House 47-111, rejected a proposed new House rule giving members 30 minutes to read any amendment that is proposed on the fl oor when the House is in session. The 30 minutes would start when all legislators and the public have electronic access to a copy of the amendment and all members also have a printed copy on their desks in the House chamber. Supporters said it is reasonable to give members 30 minutes to read an amendment. They said currently an amendment can be proposed and voted upon before members have even had a chance to read it. Opponents said the rule goes too far and would unnecessarily impede the movement of bills. They noted many of the amendments are technical in nature and are not controversial. They argued that printing and putting a copy of each amendment on each of the 160 members’ desk would be bad for the environment and would make extra work for the House clerk. (A “Yes” vote is for the rule. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino No No EQUITABLE OFFICE SPACE FOR EACH REP (H 2019) House 11-146 rejected a proposed new House rule that would require the Personnel and Administration Committee to establish standards for the allocation of offi ce space as equitably as possible among the representatives, committees and their staff s. The standards would be reviewed and would have to be approved by the Director of Human Resources and the Equal Employment Opportunity Offi - cer prior to it taking eff ect. Amendment supporters said that the state should consider the standards used by the U.S. Congress in which a giant lottery is held and when a member’s name is drawn, he or she can choose any offi ce he or she wants. They argued this would be the fairest system and also help reduce the speaker’s power by not allowing him to reward loyalists with the best offi ces. “Each of us arrives in this building as equals to represent the voices of 40,000 constituents,” said the bill’s sponsor Rep. Russell Holmes (D-Boston).“We weaken that voice by enabling the speaker to use subjective processes to allocate offi ces, staff , and resources. The distribution of the people’s property and resources should be done in a manner that does not make the allocation susceptible to implicit bias and favoritism.” Amendment opponents said setting standards would be impossible because it’s subjective which office has the best location and furnishings. They also noted that the random lottery would not work because chairs of committees have larger staff and would not be able to fi t them in a small offi ce. (A “Yes” vote is for the rule. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino No No TELEVISE INFORMAL SESSIONS (H 2021) House 36-121, rejected a proposed new House-Senate joint rule that would require broadcasting of informal sessions of the House and Senate in the same manner and format as formal sessions are currently broadcast online. Informal sessions are ones in which there are no roll call votes and everything is approved or rejected on an unrecorded voice vote. However, at an informal session, a single legislator can hold up consideration of a bill until the next formal session by doubting the presence of a quorum. A quorum is when 81 of the 160 members are in the chamber. Currently, informal sessions are not broadcast. Supporters said that some informal sessions are not the brief, quiet sessions that they used to be. They said major legislation is sometimes approved at these sessions and the public should be able to watch these online. Opponents said it would be expensive to broadcast these informal sessions which rarely deal with controversial matters. (A “Yes” vote is for the rule. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino No No ANTI-SEXUAL HARASSMENT (S 9) Senate 39-0, approved a new rule that would prohibit any senator, offi cer or staff member from violating the Senate’s anti-harassment policy and require that everyone receive anti-harassment training within 90 days of the opening of the biennial session. The rule also prohibits retaliation against an individual who has complained about discriminatory harassment or retaliation against an individual for cooperating with an investigation of a discriminatory harassment complaint. Supporters said it is vital that the Senate offer protection against sexual and identity-based assault on Beacon Hill. They argued the amendment will promote a safe and healthy workplace+ on Beacon Hill. (A “Yes” vote is for the rule.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes COSTS OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION IS THE HIGHEST IN BOSTON – The INRIX 2018 Global Traffic Scorecard was released and ranked Boston as the most congested city in the U.S. The average Boston driver lost 164 hours to peak traffi c in 2018, worth about $2,291 in additional costs based on federal Department of Transportation estimates. Nationally, Americans lost an average of 97 hours a year due to congestion, costing them nearly $87 billion in 2018, an average of $1,348 per driver. The runner-up was Washington D.C. (155 hours). The top ten included Chicago (138 hours), Seattle (138 hours), New York City (133 hours), Los Angeles (128 hours), Pittsburgh (127 hours), Portland (116 hours), San Francisco (116 hours) and Philadelphia (112 hours). “Congestion costs Americans billions of dollars each year,” said Trevor Reed, transportation analyst at INRIX. “It will continue to have serious consequences for national and local economies, businesses and citizens in the years to come. If we’re to avoid traffi c congestion becoming a further drain on our economy, we must invest in intelligent transportation systems to tackle our mobility challenges. “We didn’t really need a report from INRIX to tell us that congestion is a growing problem in Massachusetts, particularly in Boston,” said Bay State Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack. “I think our goal is to understand why. Why is congestion worse? Because then for every why, there’s something we can do diff erently.” HEALTHY FOOD IN VENDING MACHINES IN GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS - Rep. Natalie Blais (D- Sunderland) has fi led a bill requiring all foods or beverages sold through vending machines located in government buildings be limited to items that comply with the nutritional standards established by the state’s commissioner of public health. The bill also requires items that items that meet these nutrition standards be placed in the prime selling positions in the machine and be available at prices equal to or less than the prices for similar products that are available and that do not meet the nutrition standards. The measure also requires that food and beverage items that do not meet the nutrition standards options are banned from be promoted through discounted prices, bundled meals or promotional signs. Blais did not respond to Beacon Hioll Roll Call’s request for a statement on her bill. REPEAL “ESTATE/DEATH” TAX - Rep. David DeCoste has fi led a proposal that would repeal Massachusetts’ estate tax, also known as the death tax -- a tax on the value of the decedent’s estate before distribution to any beneficiary. Most Republicans are against the tax and coined the name death tax to imply that the government taxes you even after you die. Most Democrats support the tax and call it an estate tax to imply that this tax is only paid by the wealthy. The fi rst $1 million is exempt from this tax and the tax on anything over $1 million is a graduated one that according to the Department of Revenue’s website ranges from.8 percent to 16 percent. Repeal supporters said this regressive tax is unfair and noted that Massachusetts is losing many residents, who move to Florida and other states where this tax does not exist. Repeal opponents said the tax is a fair one and argued the state cannot aff ord the revenue loss. DeCoste did not respond to Beacon Hill Roll Call’s request for a statement on his bill. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of February 11-15, the House met for a total of one hour and 31 minutes while the Senate met for a total of one hours and 42 minutes.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE - Friday, February 22, 2019 Page 11 UndefeatedUndefeated Malden Malden Middle Middle School Boys’ School Boys’ Basketball Basketball Team Honored Team Honored SPORTS | FROM PAGE 5 mates in two State Final relay events. “It was very exciting to win the final event and become State Champion, and I am proud to be able to represent our school and city along with our teammates,” Ochoa said. Malden also got some solid performances from other Golden Tornadoes standouts, such as super-sophomore David Lombardi, who was a State Medalist by placing fi fth overall in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 55.72 seconds. Tommy Russell, a junior from Westfi eld High School, won the event at 52.08 seconds. With just one senior in the top fi ve fi nishers, this event will return most of the top performers, including Lombardi. “David [Lombardi] was fantastic in his event with his best time of the year,” Coach DeVincentis said, noting that Lombardi was one of only two sophomores finishing in the top 20 in the 100 backstroke. The players and coaches of the Malden Public Schools 8th Grade Basketball team, who fi nished undefeated at 14-0 and were the Northeastern Conference (NEC) Middle School Champions, were recognized at halftime of a recent Golden Tornadoes varsity game by Mayor Gary Christenson (left) and MPS Director of Athletics Charlie Conefrey (right).
