Malden Vol. 28, No. 26 -FREEMalden celebrates Independence Day starting on June 28 HA TH ! ADVOCATE www.advocatenews.net Published Every Friday 617-387-2200 Friday, June 28 , 2019 City’s casino cash comes with conditions By Barbara Taormina N ow that Encore Boston Harbor has finally opened, the city is getting ready to cash in and collect its $1 million annual mitigation payment and put it to use on different projects and needs. The money is scheduled to roll in on or before the 90th day after Encore’s grand opening. But according to an agreement between the City of Malden and Wynn Resorts signed back in November 2013, Encore mitigation money is meant to be spent for specific improvements, most of which are tied to bolstering the casino and the surrounding area as a destination. This week, Ward 3 CouncilWINNER: Iliana Sanchez, 5, took home a top prize in the bike and stroller decorating contest at Forestdale Park during last year’s July 4th fun. (Advocate file photo) C ity Councillors host holiday activities July 3-4 at various parks Malden celebrates Independence Day at various parks around the city. Each celebration is fun and exciting and offers games, activities, food and fun for the whole family. Look below to see which one is closest to you. JUNE 28 | SEE PAGE 4 lor John Matheson proposed that the Finance Committee consider asking Mayor Gary Christenson to develop a plan that would use a percentage of the casino payout for the city’s ongoing road-paving projects. Other councillors agreed it was worth discussing, but they were also hesitant to earmark the money for a specific use since other projects and needs might arise. But as Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora pointed out, the Surrounding Community Agreement between the city and Wynn Resorts has a list of terms and conditions that dictate where the money goes. A large chunk of the cash is meant to develop Malden as a transportation hub for casino guests, employees and vendors. In addition to providing space at the MBTA station for Encore shuttle busses, and parking for employees and guests, the agreement calls for lighting and safety upgrades, signs and beautification around Malden Center Station. Encore agreed to pay the city $500,000 upfront, and $350,000 a year as a transportation hub payment. Another $100,000 a year is meant to assist local businesses with “aesthetic upgrades” so they can take advantage of opportunities generated by the casino’s use of Malden as a transportation hub. Encore also agreed to pay the city $300,000 up front and $225,000 a year for safety and aesthetic improvements to the roads that connect Everett and Malden. To enhance public safety, Encore agreed to a one-time up-front payment City Council hopes to preserve downtown buildings By Barbara Taormina T he City Council unanimously supported Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley’s resolve to ask the Historic District Study Committee to prioritize creating a local historic district in Converse Square. O’Malley explained that an official historic district would give the city the ability to preserve the buildings at 1 Salem St. and 15 Ferry St., buildings many consider part of the gateway to downtown Malden. The properties were sold during the past two years and the current owner, Alpha Business Center, LLC, applied for a permit to raze both buildings. However, the Historical Commission reviewed the demolition applications and determined that the former bank building at 1 Salem St., which was built in 1906, and 15 Ferof $200,000 and $250,000 annually for increased staffing to ensure pedestrian and traffic safety. Local businesses are also inline to receive at least $100,000 in support from Encore. The casino has agreed to hire local contractors and vendors and to provide guests with $25,000 in gift certificates and vouchers for Malden businesses. Finally, Encore agreed to make a $100,000 a year community fund payment to support requests for assistance from the city’s nonprofit groups and organizations. The Surrounding Community Agreement does say that the transportation hub, transitional road and public safety payments are exclusively in Malden’s control and can be used for whatever infrastructure improvements and mitigation measures the city decides are necessary. However, Spadafora suggested this week that the city needs to consider how far it can stretch the terms without breaking the agreement and putting the casino revenue at risk. ity to create a downtown historic district. While the city moves forward on the historic district front, the Historical Commission is also working to save the buildings through the demolition delay ordinance.

After a hearing on June 5, the commission determined that both buildings are preferably preserved which triggered the city’s demolition delay ordinance, a one-year moratorium on the demolition permit. Councillors acknowledged that establishing a historic district in Converse Square is a complicated task that involves hearings and approvals on several different levels.

Historical Commission Chairwoman Barbara Tolstrup said those discussions have started and the hope is that a solution can be negotiated.

According to Trust Program Director Kimberly Tilas, the Trust will provide $471,512 in grants to 18 organizations, thanks to motorists who choose to purchase one of the Trust’s specialty license plates. “Trust plates, including our signature Whale Plate, are the only specialty plates that exclusively fund environmental initiatives,” said Tilas. “When you purchase a specialty plate for $100.00 from the Registry of Motor Vehicles, the $40 specialty plate fee goes directly to the Trust to fund water-focused environmental programs.” “Funding from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust will enable us to create a trash free Malden River for the public and for our environment,” said Karen Buck of FoMR. “Collaboration and educational modalities with the cities of Malden, Everett, Medford and Melrose, the Malden riverfront landowners, and the public is essential to reduce the amount of trash that flows into the Malden River. The benefits of trash reduction and retention will be evident and long lasting.” Supporting the Massachusetts Environmental Trust Supporting the environmental programs funded by the Trust in your community is easy: Choose one of three environmental plates – the Right Whale & Roseate Terns, the Leaping Brook Trout or the Blackstone Valley Mill – when you purchase or lease a new car or renew your registration with the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Recently, Governor Charlie Baker announced a new plate, commemorating our Striped Bass (who follow the migration of our massively increased herring population up our rivers, thanks to the fish ladders installed on some of our dams). These plates beat any bumper sticker. Wear your plate proudly and offset your automobile's carbon output at the same time! The standard registration fee for a Massachusetts plate is $60. The special plate fee is an additional $40 (tax deductible every two years) for a total cost of $100. Every time you automatically renew your registration, the $40 goes to the Trust.

Fact: The MRA has seen the developer’s proposal, but has at no time endorsed such a plan. On the contrary, we are supportive of the Historical Commission’s decision to delay the demolition, and hope that the City and the residents can preserve the buildMalden Senior Center to host Dick Flavin on July 24 D ick Flavin is the “poet laureate” and senior ambassador of the Boston Red Sox and voice of Fenway Park, serving as a public address announcer for Red Sox day games.

He wrote and starred in “According to Tip,” the acclaimed one-man play about legendary Speaker of the U.S. House Tip O’Neill.

Fact: The MRA has at no time offered to sell its Main Street parking lot to the developer. In numerous internal conversations with the MRA Board of Directors and members of City government over the past few months, I have made it clear that this part of town known as Converse Square speaks to the city’s “strong past” as it sits as the gateway to an historic area that includes such magnificent structures as the Malden Public Library, Davenport Estates and the First Baptist Church. I have also cautioned that any changes to the look and feel of that area could have considerable impact on the community’s “proud future”. So we should tread very slowly. As the Executive Director of the MRA, I am the first to admit that this agency, while it has done a lot of great work in the community, has also made a few planning mistakes over its long history. One prime example was the decision to construct the old Malden Government Center in the middle of Pleasant Street, which hurt the downtown area for more than four decades until it was finally AUTOTECH 1989 SINCE Is your vehicle ready for the Summer Season?!!

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, June 28, 2019 Page 5 Over 400 Malden residents begin work at Encore Boston Harbor Mayor tours resort with Encore executives E ncore Boston Harbor executives gave Mayor Gary Christenson a private tour of the recently opened resort. “With over 400 Malden residents having obtained full-time jobs at Encore, I wanted to see firsthand the finished product. It truly is an amazing transformation of a once polluted site, which most thought to be undevelopable,” said Christenson. “I’m particularly pleased to see that 80% of the jobs offered to Malden residents went to minority applicants, and almost 45% to women.” Malden was the first community in the state to execute a surrounding community agreement with any casino operator. Under the Massachusetts Gaming Laws, communities could petition to be designated a surrounding community by the operator. In being first to come to an agreement, Malden not only paved the way for other communities, but also negotiated an agreement that is extremely beneficial to Malden as compared to similar communities. “Through his proactive apMayor Gary Christenson greets one of over 400 Malden residents working at the Encore Boston Harbor resort/casino in Everett. “We chose a path of working together with Encore to maximize the benefits to Malden. That strategy worked as our agreement contains more than twice the financial benefits as other agreements decided through arbitration,” said Mayor Christenson. proach, Mayor Christenson put Malden residents in line for second preference for jobs, behind only Everett. This certainly benefited hundreds of Malden residents who were competing for jobs with thousands of other applicants,” said Encore Boston Harbor’s Executive Director of Government & Community Relations, John Tocco. “Combined with the $19 million in financial payments over the term of our agreement, Malden will continue to benefit from the Mayor’s thoughtful approach to capitalizing on the opportunities from our development.” In addition to the residents hired for full-time jobs, over 125 Malden residents participated in the construction of the facility, with wages and benefits approaching $9 million. Encore has also committed to purchasing $25,000 in gift certificates from Malden businesses annually to provide to their patrons to encourage them to support Malden businesses. Dancing through the Decades with Dance Caliente D ancing through the Decades with Dance Caliente is an interactive dance performance geared to a Senior Audience. Several partner dances are performed by Eileen Herman-Haase and Raul Nieves, owners of Dance Caliente, ranging from a Waltz of the 1800s, the Charleston and Peabody of the 20s and 30s, a Swing/Lindy of the 40s and 50s and Argentine Tango (timeless) and a Salsa of today.

The annual event promotes and showcases the delicious food, arts and culture of Kristine’s native Philippines.

Licensing Committee Chair/ Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy said the changes, which took several months to develop, will affect Class I dealers who sell new cars, Class II dealerships which market used cars and Class III licenses which are for salvage yards. The most significant changes will affect the Class II dealers. “This exercise was centered around the fact that we think there are just too may used car dealers in Malden,” added Committee Vice Chairman/ Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson. Murphy explained that there are 16 used car dealerships that have been in business prior to changes in the ordinance that required lots to have 15 spaces for cars with three additional parking spaces for customers and employees. Those businesses are grandfathered in and can continue as is until their owners decide to shut down. ing to cap the remaining used car lots to the current count of 28. There are no caps proposed for new car lots or salvage yards. Licensing fees for Class I, II and III will increase to $200 a year, which Murphy said is on par with what neighboring cities and towns charge for licenses. The new regulations would require annual inspections by both the Fire Department and the Building Inspector, and there will be a $100 annual inspection fee. “Our compliance officers spend a lot of time making sure these lots are in-line with our ordinance,” said Murphy. There will also be a onetime $50 application fee for anyone pursuing a new license. The principal of each car dealership will also be required to submit an updated CORI report from the state with their application for a new license or renewal. “Those are the changes we felt were important to bring to the table,” said Murphy. It is now up to the Ordinance Committee to review the proposed changes and recommend if they should become part of the city’s ordinances.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, June 28, 2019 Page 15 ~ OP-ED ~ We need a carbon pollution fee to combat Climate Change W e all want to give our children a good life and to leave the world a little better than we found it. But, increasingly, scientists are telling us that climate change will fundamentally alter the natural systems we all rely upon. It is tempting to turn away from such scary news stories, but we can’t ignore reality. We have to act. In the face of inaction on the part of the federal government, it is up to states and local communities to step up to the challenge. Massachusetts has prioritized a cleaner, more sustainable energy future since the passage of the Global Warming Solutions Act in 2008. This landmark legislation made our state one of the first in the nation to seriously tackle climate change. We have set ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, invested in developing renewable energy sources like solar and offshore wind, begun planning for climate adaptation, and are pursuing many other initiatives at the state and local levels. But given the magnitude of the challenge we face and the urgent need to get to net zero carbon emissions by 2050 (and preferably sooner), we must pursue even bolder policies. We believe that Massachusetts should implement a carbon pollution fee, which is also known as carbon pricing. A carbon fee is a charge on fossil fuels, based on the amount of carbon dioxide these fuels emit when burned. With a carbon fee, the price of dirty fuels increases, creating an incentive for businesses and consumers to use less fossil fuels and move more rapidly to greener options. This approach should be something that liberals and conservatives alike can embrace, since it uses market mechanisms to unleash innovation that will move us much more rapidly to a clean future. We are proud to support HYPERLINK "https://malegislature. gov/Bills/191/H2810" House bill 2810, An Act to Promote Green Infrastructure and Reduce Carbon Emissions filed by State Representative Jen Benson, and HYPERLINK "https://malegislature.gov/Bills/191/S1924" Senate bill 1924, An Act Combating Climate Change filed by State Senator Mike Barrett. Although these two bills take slightly different approaches, they would both require that Massachusetts implement a carbon pollution fee to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Both bills would return a significant amount of the fees collected to consumers as a rebate, and would ensure that low-income residents do not face a financial burden. Funds that are not rebated would be spent on energy efficiency, renewable energy, clean transportation like electric vehicles, and climate resilience projects in our communities. With majority support for each bill in its respective branch of the legislature, we are hopeful that Massachusetts will pass legislation to implement a carbon pollution fee, and once again lead our nation to a sustainable future.

GROWING HEMP (H 3535) House 152-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would allow farmers with agricultural deed restrictions on their land to grow hemp. It would also qualify hemp farmers for the property tax breaks currently given to growers of other crops. The state’s Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) Program, according to its website, “helps to preserve and protect agricultural land to keep valuable farmland soil from being built on by development companies for non-agricultural purposes that could be detrimental to the environment.” The program pays farmland owners the difference between their farm’s fair market value and the lower agricultural use value in exchange for a permanent deed restriction which forbids the property from being used for anything that will have a negative impact on its agricultural viability. The growing of hemp was legalized along with marijuana in 2016, but farmers that want to grow the industrial-use cannabis plant still can’t cultivate the crop if their land falls under the APR. “Allowing hemp to be grown on APR deed-restricted land is an opportunity for Massachusetts farmers to expand the $550 million agricultural industry which will benefit the entire commonwealth,” said Rep. Smitty Pignatelli (D-Lenox), the sponsor of the proposal. “We are currently importing hemp for various manufacturing products such as clothing, food, paper, and textiles, and tapping into these industries right here in the commonwealth will generate jobs and bring our farmers closer to economic security and success.” (A Yes" vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Yes APPRAISAL MANAGEMENT (H 3904) House 153-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would establish a system for the state to license and regulate appraisal management companies (AMC). It is estimated that 80 percent of appraisal orders in the Bay State are processed by AMCs. The other 49 states already have AMC registration in place. “AMC registration is a nationwide licensing requirement with an August 2019 deadline,” writes Allan Cohen in the New England Real Estate Journal. “AMC registration comes right out of the federal Dodd-Frank law enacted by the U.S. Congress in 2010.” “Specific in its language about firewalls, Dodd-Frank gave impetus to the use of AMCs acting as an intermediary between lenders and appraisers,” continued Cohen. “The goal is to protect consumers and avoid having financial institutions fall back into poor lending practices. Using an AMC as a firewall reduces the frequento both safety and soundness of financial institutions, and to consumers who regularly rely on the appraisal obtained by the lender to determine if the price they are paying for a house is reasonable,” said Rep. Tom Stanley (D-Waltham), the sponsor of the bill. “Missing the … deadline impacts everyone either looking to buy a home or refinancing a mortgage as AMCs will not be able to operate in the state. There’s no opposition to this legislation. It’s time to sign this bill into law and comply with the Dodd-Frank Act requirements.” “For many of my constituents, a real estate transaction will be one of the most important financial decisions in their life,” said Rep. Jim Murphy (D-Weymouth). “We must ensure that people are receiving an accurate assessment that is free from influence or bias. By regulating the AMC industry, we are taking an important step forward to protect Massachusetts consumers.” (A Yes" vote is for the bill.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Yes 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 filed. 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 June 17-21, the House met for a total of six hours while the Senate met for a total of two hours and four minutes. Mon.

Can you offer me any tips on choosing and using one? Hypertensive Helen Dear Helen, It’s a smart idea! Everyone with elevated or high blood pressure – stage 1 (or 130/80) and higher – should consider getting a home blood pressure monitor. Home monitoring can help you keep tabs on your blood pressure in a comfortable setting. Plus, if you’re taking medication it will make certain it’s working, and alert you to a health problem if it arises. Home Monitors The best type of home blood pressure monitors to purchase are electric/battery powered automatic arm monitors, which are more reliable than wrist or fingertip monitors. With an automatic arm monitor, you simply wrap the cuff around your bicep and with the push of one button the cuff inflates and deflates automatically giving you your blood pressure reading on the display window in a matter of seconds. Many monitors today also come with additional features like irregular heartbeat detection; a risk category indicator that tells you whether your blood pressure is in the high range; a data-averaging function that allows you to take multiple readings and get an overall average; multiple user memory that allows two or more users to save their readings; and downloadable memory that lets you transmit your data to your computer or smartphone. You can find these monitors at pharmacies, medical supply stores or online, and you don’t need a prescription to buy one. Prices typically range between $40 and $100. In most cases, original Medicare will not cover a home blood pressure monitor, but if you have a Medicare Advantage plan or a private health insurance policy it’s worth checking into, because some plans may provide coverage. Some of the best automatic arm monitors as recommended by Consumer Reports are the Omron 10 Series BP786N ($75); Rite Aid Deluxe Automatic ($60); Omron Evolv BP7000 ($70); and A&D Medical UA767F ($45). How to Measure After you buy a monitor, it’s a good idea to take it to your doctor’s office so they can check its accuracy and make sure you’re using it properly. Here are some additional steps to follow to ensure you get accurate readings at home. Relax: Don’t exercise, smoke or drink caffeinated drinks or alcohol for at least 30 minutes before measuring. Sit quietly for at least five minutes before you take a measurement and remain quiet during the test. Sit correctly: Sit with your back straight and supported (on a dining chair, rather than a sofa). Your feet should be flat on the floor and your legs should not be crossed. Your arm should be supported on a flat surface (such as a table) with the upper arm at heart level. Make sure the middle of the cuff is placed directly above the bend of the elbow. Check your monitor’s instructions for an illustration. Put the cuff directly on your bare skin: Putting it over clothes can raise your systolic (upper) number by up to 40 mmHg. Measure at the same time every day: It’s important to take the readings at the same time each day, such as morning and evening. It doesn’t matter whether you do it before or after taking medication. Just be consistent. Go to the bathroom: A full bladder can rise your systolic pressure by 10 to 15 mmHg. Take multiple readings and record the results: Each time you measure, take two or three readings one minute apart and record the results by writing them down, or using an online tracker (see CCCtracker.com).

Page 22 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, June 28, 2019 Celebrating a Century Claire Reardon turns 100 M ayor Gary Christenson and Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon recently wished longtime Malden resident Claire Reardon a very happy 100th birthday. Reardon, who was born on May 20, 1919, at the Central Street Hospital in Somerville, grew up in Medford. After marrying her husband, John, in 1941 they made their home on Gale Street and in 1959 moved to 91 West St., where she still resides. Together they raised four wonderful children: Paul, John, Mary and Joseph. Reardon and her husband had many loving years together before he sadly passed away in 1988. Reardon has always been active in the community, volunteering for her children’s activities as well as the Immaculate Conception Parish, where she still serves as a Eucharistic Minister bringing communion and ministry to patients at the Glen Ridge Nursing Care center. She also very much enjoys spending time with her seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. When Christenson asked Reardon what her secret is for to living such a long and healthy life, she responded that “walking” and “not smoking” have been key factors. Shown from left to right are Mayor Gary Christenson, Claire Reardon and Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon.
