THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 2, 2023 Page 7 MUSINGS | FROM PAGE 6 yards back and they knew nothing about down field blocking or defenses.” Use Dozen Men “American rules prevailed except for the allowing of a 12th man known as a flying wing (another back) in the last three periods. And then Malden went this rule one better by using 13 men for two plays during the third period without the official being any the wiser. “Actually, Montreal’s only offense was a sweet right-hand punch used very effectively by Tommy Manastersky, the Montreal captain. In the third period he staggered Carroll Lowenstein with a honey of a belt for which he drew 15 yards. A few minutes later he measured another Maldenite before being forced to call it a day – just another way of cementing good-will relationships. But let’s get down to the scoring details. “The touchdown data reHOUSING | FROM PAGE 1 opment goals by proposing a 120-unit market rate apartment community along with a 112room, limited-service, four-story hotel with 4,400 square feet of retail services, designed to serve the residents of Overlook Ridge and reduce car trips to and from the community. Veris Residential Trust will also be working with the City of Revere on a larger residential rental community. The affordable housing proposed for the remaining vacant land in Malden will exceed Inclusionary Zoning requirement. Councillor Jadeane Sica said: “This represents an opportunity to get the remaining parcels of this project fully developed. The additional affordable housing and the proposed hotel are welcome additions to this location.” The majority of the proposed new apartment homes would be one and two-bedroom units, with three-bedroom apartments comprising less than 5 percent of the new units. The proposed zoning change would allow multifamily development on the two parcels. The Malden City Council is expected to refer the proposal to the Planning Board for a joint public hearing, review and recommendation. "We are excited to build upon our longstanding partnership with the City of Malden and the City of Revere for the benefit of the community, consistent with the approach we have taken in the region over the last 20 years,” said Jeff Turkanis, Chief Investment Officer for Veris Residential Trust. “We look forward to working hand-in-glove with WinnCompanies as we enter volved largely around Johnny Carroll who counted no less than 4 times. He opened the scoring with a seven-yard thrust off tackle and then snared three T.D. passes. Morelli threw two of them – one for 6 and for 15. Then Lowenstein pitched the third one to him for 16 yards. Morelli also added one with a 10-yard plunge. “And the final tally was the crowning touch. Coach Eddie Melanson sent in his ‘Red Shirters’ – the little sophomore scrubs who don’t even rate the program recognition. All they did was march 30 yards into the end zone territory on three plays with Lipnosky going the last 12.” Need Uniform Rules “The three conversions were booted by George Sicarello. That accounts for the scoring, which was certainly not as high as it might have been. Nine Malden fumbles plus a half dozen penalties ended many potential touchdown drives. Actually, it appeared that Malden should the next phase of development to deliver much-needed new housing options.” The developers hope to amend local zoning and secure permitting approvals before October to be eligible to be considered for the next available round of competitive state affordable housing funds. The proposed workforce/ middle income housing segment on Lot 13 would be designed for individuals and families who have been priced out of the Boston area’s white hot rental market, earning too much income to qualify for traditional affordable housing programs but not enough to afford market rate rents. “The lack of affordable, middle income and senior housing in greater Boston is a well-documented problem. It’s the number one reason that people of all ages are leaving Massachusetts,” said WinnDevelopment Vice President Andrew Colbert. “We’re excited to have the opportunity to create a brighter future for households struggling with housing costs here.” Since construction began in 2001, the Overlook Ridge development has transformed the former Rowe’s Quarry on the Revere-Malden border into a residential community featuring 1,977 apartment homes. As part of the development, New Jersey-based Veris Residential Trust has paid nearly $4 million in impact fees to Revere and Malden and constructed over $7 million in community benefits including a two-acre community park, a 7,000-squarefoot public fire station for Malden and Revere, a seven-acre wetland, passive recreation area have scored every time it had its paws on the ball. “But maybe they wanted to maintain good neighborly relations. This is not meant as a blast in the least at the Canadians kids; If that was their real aim, then the Malden authorities should never go north of the border for opposition again.” Postscript: Like a less than subtle siren song when the kitchen is cranking at Floramo’s on Centre Street and you’re driving by with the windows open, forgetaboutit!
