THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 24, 2020 Page 9 Due to schools’ closure, Malden High spring sports season canceled By Jason Mazzilli T he clock has run out on high school athletics in Malden for the spring season. On Tuesday afternoon Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker announced at a press conference that all public and private schools would remain closed for the remainder of the academic year, which for most schools means the third week of June. The decision also ended high school athletics for the year. The move was not unexpected, but was still dramatic and unprecedented, like many of the events and actions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has reshaped nearly every facet of our daily lives. The rapid spread of the virus, which approached 800,000 cases nationwide and 50,000 in Massachusetts alone, has dictated extensive shutdowns and physical distancing in efforts to “flatten the curve” and save lives. Gov. Baker had originally ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Malden Community Preservation Committee Notice is hereby given that the City of Malden Community Preservation Committee will hold a public hearing on May 8, 2020, at 6:00PM Eastern Time(US and Canada), via remote hearing, at which members of the public are invited to attend to participate and provide comments on community preservation project ideas for the upcoming FY2021 funding cycle, in the areas of affordable housing, open space/recreation, and historical preservation that would benefit the City of Malden, as well as participate and provide comments on the following FY2020 project applications presently under consideration by the Community Preservation Committee: Under One Roof Secure Start Rental Assistance Devir Park Revitalization Spot Pond Brook Trafton Park Construction The hearing will be hosted by the City of Malden on Zoom and will be accessible to members of the public who are invited to attend and provide comments via the following link and/or telephone: There will be no goals or behind-the-back passes this season for Malden High boys’ lacrosse, due to the cancellation of the spring high school sports season.
