Council finalizes trash fee Amid constituent outcry and debate between councilors, the Malden City Council finalized the institution of a trash fee this week. It will take effect in the fall. The vote to implement the trash fee of $2 per bag fell in line with last week’s vote on the measure, which found councilors split 7 to 4 over the issue - with Council President Gary Christenson and Ward 6 Councilor Neil Kinnon among those opposing the ordinance. The council subsequently voted to send two amendments to the ordinance committee for further deliberation. Those amendments call for the exemption of senior citizens and those below the federal poverty line from having to pay the fee.

 Emeril lends ‘green’ hand to Malden block party - TV chef Emeril Lagasse is lending his cooking expertise to help one Malden organization throw a block party that will be healthy — both for celebrators and the environment. Three members of Friends of Oak Grove, Inc. (FOOGI), a Malden-based nonprofit dedicated to enhancing the health and betterment of the community, decided it was time to lighten up the fare at their organization’s annual block party slated for Sept. 8. So, they turned to Lagasse for help. Karen Hayes, Jackie Bouley and Kimberly Ellis applied to be on Planet Green’s new television series, "Emeril Green," a cooking show set in Whole Foods Market that teaches individuals how to cook with organic and locally grown foods. After completing castings and interviews, the three were invited to be on the show and flew to Virginia on June 9 to tape the episode with the master chef. "We had a blast," said Bouley, ....
MWRA issues annual water quality report - The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority has begun mailing its Annual Water Quality Report to every household in its service area, including Malden. The report is required by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and updates consumers on last year’s water quality test results. MWRA and the local water departments test thousands of samples each week and, of the 120 possible contaminants tested for, MWRA met every standard. This year’s report highlights the environmental benefits and the low cost of tap water compared to bottled water. "Sure, bottled water is convenient when you’re on the go and is a healthy alternative to soft drinks," said MWRA executive director Fred Laskey. "But in dozens of taste and quality tests here and across the country, the only area where bottled water and tap water differ significantly is cost. At less than penny a gallon, tap water is the cleanest, safest and most cost effective alternative."
 Urban legends - Aided by spray paint, boards and brushes, budding artists from the greater Boston area got a chance to practice their craft in the Urban Art Competition at Lincoln Commons on Saturday afternoon. The competition, sponsored by the Malden-based organization Youth ACT (Activism, Coalition, Trust), attracted a creative field of entrants and an enthusiastic audience (including parents, passers-by, City Council president Gary Christenson and members of the MATV show Asian Spectrum).
The Malden Cultural Council provided funding. What animated the afternoon was an opportunity for young artists to take skills associated with graffiti (spray-painting) and use them to create their own personal murals. Prizes, in the form of gift certificates, were offered to the muralists — whose work rated the highest praise among the judging panel, which included lead muralist James Fox of Peabody. Graffiti, Fox said, is related to "the idea of self-recognition."
Tisei: Federal Medicaid waiver has big implications for state - All eyes are on Washington this week, as Massachusetts officials anxiously await news about the fate of the state’s expiring federal Medicaid waiver, and whether federal officials will agree to extend it for another three years. The looming decision by the Bush Administration is an important one, because it will have broad financial implications on the state budget for Fiscal 2009 which starts July 1. The decision will also go a long way towards determining what direction the two-year-old Massachusetts Health Care Reform Law will take moving forward.
 Gilchrist takes lead at Window Arts Malden - Window Arts Malden, the project of a grassroots organization begun in 2006 to pair local artists with downtown businesses and turn Malden Center into an outdoor gallery, is gearing up for its third season under a new coordinator, Stacey Gilchrist. "When we moved here in 2006, we didn’t know there was such a vibrant arts community," said Gilchrist in a recent interview. She and her husband, Patrick Mayfield, read in the newspaper about a group who wanted to start an art walk downtown.
Kayaking on Spot Pond - The Department of Conservation and Recreation will host kayaking on Stoneham’s Spot Pond, in the Middlesex Fells Reservation, on Fridays, now through August 22, excluding July 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
 T on board with helping cyclists -The MBTA, another cheap alternative to driving, is making it easier for bicyclists by adding bike racks to buses and commuter rail trains. The transportation authority has been installing hundreds of bike racks at stations and recently added a second commuter rail bike coach, a train car geared for bikers, into the system. "Time and again, the top issues that come up are that more people are taking their bikes to stations," said MBTA general manager Dan Grabauskas. "People would prefer to take their bikes, and we’re trying to expand access for them." Currently, nearly 90 percent of stations have bike racks and about a third of buses have racks. The T’s goal is to have the entire fleet of buses equipped by 2012.

THE ARTS IN MALDEN |

Window Arts Malden: Call to Artists Think inside the window and outside the box! Since 2006, Window Arts Malden has infused the city's center with quality art, helped stimulate foot traffic and commerce in downtown Malden, and strengthened community bonds around public art. The 2008 WAM exhibit will run from September 5-28. The project will match approximately 20 businesses and organizations in the Historic Malden Square area with artists who live or work in Malden. There will be an evening reception in the Mayor's Gallery at Government Center. Window Arts Malden is looking for artists to display work in storefront windows and designated outdoor areas. The focus this year is context: the synergy between the art and window, and in creating site-specific installations wherever possible. Think about the entire window as a work of art, an exhibit within the window. All artwork will be juried. Jury criteria will include the quality of artwork and the unified display – how the artwork is incorporated in its window. Artists who live or work in Malden and would like to exhibit in a Malden storefront, and businesses looking to host an art exhibit as part of the WAM event may email info@maldenarts.com to request an application, visit the website www.maldenarts.com, or call 781-322-6568.The deadline for proposals is July 20, 2008. |

 Ablevision Album: Photographs by Annie Middleton - "People with Ability" is the tagline of Triangle, Inc., an organization that serves adults with developmental disabilities. And ability is exactly what you see when you look at the photographs by Annie Middleton featured in the exhibit "Ablevision Album" at the MATV Gallery. The photographs in "Ablevision Album" follow the activities and the personal achievements of the participants of Ablevision, a television show produced by members of Triangle. Some 40 adults with disabilities collaborate to produce, direct, script, and star in an ongoing TV series that began in 2003, as a collaborative program between Triangle and MATV. Middleton works as the Director of Human Resources at Triangle and has also helped oversee the Ablevision program from its beginnings. Although she believes her imagery is intimate, she feels her photographs are wholly respectful of her subjects. For her, photojournalism is the means to capture a personal history. She uses a Nikon digital SLR camera and edits her photographs in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CS3. more
