THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, January 11, 2019 Page 13 FROM Sachems battle back against Medford in 4-4 tie By Greg Phipps T railing 3-1 early in the third period, the Saugus Sachems scored three consecutive goals but couldn’t hold a late advantage in an eventual 4-4 tie against the Medford Mustangs on Saturday at Kasabuski Memorial Rink. The visitors tallied in the final minute to force the deadlock after Saugus had battled back from a two-goal deficit. Scores by Nick Aiken, Dante McGrane and Adam Rodrigues put the Sachems up 4-3 before the Mustangs evened it shortly after Saugus had taken the lead in the waning minutes. Saturday’s result left Saugus at 3-2-3 (1-0-2 in the Northeastern Conference) for the season and needing 11 more points to secure a playoff spot. The Sachems traveled to Salem State University to take on conference foe Marblehead on Wednesday and host Danvers in a tough league test on Saturday at Kasabuski.

ASKS | from page 11 Maine people have to drop somebody off at the airport or do business in this area, they pick up subs and go back. We always know when they are Maine people. Q: Do you have folks come from other faraway places? Rob: We had a customer who would faithfully come every year from Minnesota, and he would fly in and get 40 large subs, and we’d put them in a cooler with vegetables on the side. And he would check in at the airport and take them all back to Minnesota with him – these 40 large subs – Sub-Villa Specials. Rich: Sub-Villa Specials, sort of a souped-up Italian cold cuts. The out-of-state business is mostly from people who grew up in this area and then moved away. We’ll get them from all week, Saugus earned its third victory of the season by rolling to a 7-1 win at Peabody. over – Texas and Minnesota and Naples, Fla. They all want something shipped to them. When they come, they’ll usually stop first thing from the airport. They’ll make a point of coming three or four times and then taking a bunch back; so lately we’re hearing stories like that as well. Q: What’s the most sandwiches that you have made in one day? Rich: Probably [last] Saturday [after the news that they would be closing]. Probably 800 to a thousand, we’ve done. Sometimes, we’ll do a golf tournament, where we have to do about 400 in addition to what we would normally do. We can handle just about everything, as long as we know the day before, because we have to get our bread baked for us. If it’s a thousand subs, we call in a PAGE 10 1. Bowling 2. Lewis Carroll 3.

(Advocate photos by Greg Phipps) Adam Rodrigues scored three times for his first-ever varsity hat trick while Massey Ventre and Aiken each collected their first career varsity goals. McGrane and Ronnie Paolo added the other tallies, as the Sathousand rolls. Q: So, if your family roots are in Stoneham, how did this business wind up in Saugus? Rich: I can only imagine that our grandfather had the foresight of knowing what Route 1 would be today. Rob: I guess he thought that our original location – where the Dunkin’ Donuts is now located – would be a good spot. And that’s when Route 1 was a dirt road. Q: Anything else you guys want to share? Rich: We want to thank the community for supporting us all of these years, for being dedicated customers; and it’s been a pleasure that our family has been a part of their family. We have to have an honorable mention for my mother, who did the bookkeeping for years, and then my sister, Gail chems had outscored their opponents by a combined 12-1 margin in their three victories. Saugus had also gone 2-0-1 in their last three games heading into Wednesday’s tilt at Marblehead. Eaton, took over. My mom [Lois Santoro] is down in Florida, and everyone she runs into down there knows her. She lives in the Villages. Rob: I have to say what Rich said is spot on. We’ve been in business a long time, and we can’t thank the people enough for the repeated business and the overwhelming response that we got we announced what we were doing [closing]. They have come in and wished us well. It’s very humbling to us, because we honestly didn’t think it would be such an overwhelming response. We figured we’d do an article in the paper and we would go on our way. But it’s become much bigger than what we had thought, and we’re very grateful for it. After being a part of this for over 40 years, it’s our time to start enjoying our lives.
