Page 20 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 6, 2019 Mystic Valley Elder Services advises caution when walking in winter weather conditions E ach winter, slips and fall accidents cause serious injuries. Even when surfaces do not look especially icy or slippery, it is very possible that a thin sheet of transparent ice or “black ice” is covering your pathway and putting you at risk. When you approach a footpath or roadway that appears to be covered with ice or snow, always use extreme caution. Many slips and falls happen in places people regard as safe and secure, typically outside their front door, on the doorstep, on a path or while getting out of a car. So, with the winter weather upon us, Mystic Valley Elder Services advises these 10 tips to make sure you are staying safe when walking around in snowy and icy conditions: 1. Walk slowly and carefully. Wear boots or other slip-resistant footwear. 2. Use special care when getting in and out of vehicles. Use the vehicle for support if you need to do so. 3. Watch for slippery floors when you enter any building or home. 4. Avoid walking with your hands in your pockets; this can reduce your ability to catch ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ NOTICE OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEETING REGARDING ADULT-USE MARIJUANA RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT 1130 EASTERN AVENUE, MALDEN, MASSACHUSETTS Notice is hereby given that Craft Cultivation Group, Inc. will conduct a Community Outreach Meeting on the following matters on Wednesday, December 18, 2019 at the Linden-STEAM Academy (Auditorium) 29 Wescott Street, Malden, Massachusetts 02148, at 7:00 PM.

Rick Drost writes and sings songs with depth and heart, songs that repay repeated listening and convey a long love of classical music, natural wonders and poetry. His songs treat life from varied angles: jilted lovers, swans in the Public Garden, leftover lobsters and meditations on meditation. Longtime inspiration came from Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen; recent influences include Vance Gilbert and David Wilcox, who covers Drost’s song “Turning the World” in live performances. Drost’s latest CD, “Turning the World,” continues to get airplay from Europe across America to New Zealand. Originally from Western New York, Drost travels from Cambridge to sing at coffeehouses, house concerts, small festivals and Folk Alliance Events around the country. Mark Bishop Evans grew up in southern California, where his major musical influences outside of church were Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul and Mary, Paul Simon, the Beach Boys and pretty much any folk, folk rock or beach music. Listening and playing the folk and protest music of the 60s inspired him to begin writing his own songs. Evans has a way with words and melodies, bringing them together in pleasant and poignant combinations that make you want to tap your feet and sing along. His music is an intriguing blend of folk, folk rock and ballads, lyrically rich in emotional content and melodically comfortable like a favorite jacket, like a close friend you want to sing along with. Mark relocated north of Boston, Mass., in the early 90s and today considers himself a “Noreasta.” John Ferullo is a songwriter and open mike host from Massachusetts with stories about regular people. He performs his own songs and other folk songs all around New England. His music has been described as “about important things with his stories about seemingly small things.” Kathleen Healy is a hard-working musician and songwriter living on Cape Cod. She draws from her experience of living and raising a family near the beach for many of her songs. Some say saltwater runs through her veins. Healy writes from the heart, and her honest lyrics and often poignant subject matter lend themselves to the unique quality of her voice. She admits to being a live music junkie but is currently not seeking treatment for her addiction. Equally at home singing and playing in a quiet cafe or in front of a crowd, Roberta Lamb rocks to the beat of a variety of musical styles, from blues to rock and Americana. She picked her first guitar as a child in Texas and took to singing folk songs, Spanish traditional tunes, and ballads. Lamb honed her vocal craft as a classical musician, exploring concert singing and opera in college and later in Vienna, Austria. Back home in the United States, she took time to raise a family in Massachusetts, and she eventually found her way back to her first love: American music. Once her children were launched, she picked up the guitar and started playing and singing covers while practicing and listening to whatever music came her way. Strongly influenced by the vibrant local music community, she started writing originals and rebranded herself as a singer-songwriter. She just recorded her first album of originals, Not Your Mama’s Blues, and performs across New England at a variety of venues from cafes, coffeehouses and restaurants to small concert stages, porch fests and farmers’ markets, singing and playing her heart out. Kenny Selcer will accompany Roberta. Wild Maple is Gary Dolinsky on guitar and vocals, Trish DeCaprio on violin and vocals and Steve Straight on acoustic bass and vocals. The group’s original songs are influenced by a variety of music genres: Americana/roots, blues, bluegrass, classic country, folk, Celtic, popular music of the past 60 years and classical. Music critics have praised Wild Maple’s “appealing and polished sound” with both male and female lead vocals and “sensational vocal harmonies.” Recent performances include Club Passim in Cambridge, the Guilford Performing Arts Festival in Guilford, Conn., and the Crane Estate in Ipswich, Mass. Wild Maple’s lively shows include a healthy dose of relaxed fun, humor and audience engagement. The show begins early at 7:30 p.m.; doors open at 7:00. Homemade baked goods and beverages are available.
