THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, September 27, 2019 Page 17 SOUNDS | from page 16 pens. Hopefully, whatever the voters decide on Nov. 5 will lead to the betterment of Saugus. It shouldn’t be a matter of “to the victors go the spoils.” The people who get elected should not lose sight of the talents and valuable expertise of those people who ran and lost. The next group of elected town leaders should tap the talent pool of these individuals who are still capable of serving as appointed members on volunteer boards, committees and task forces. And, hopefully, those candidates who lost their elections will express an interest in participating by applying for vacancies on various boards where they can still serve their community. A candidates’ night for Oct. 23 Saugus Action Volunteers for the Environment (SAVE) will sponsor a forum for candidates for the Board of Selectmen on Wednesday, Oct. 23, starting at 7 p.m. at the Saugus Town Hall Auditorium (298 Central St.). Doors will be open to the public at 6:30 p.m. for this free event. As in the past, SAVE provides this public-service forum for candidates for the Board of Selectmen so that each candidate can share their views of the critical environmental issues facing our Town. The event will also be televised in order to reach as many residents as possible. Candidates’ invitations will be sent out on or shortly after Sept. 20. SAVE hopes the public will plan to attend this informative event. For more information about SAVE, please contact Ann at adevlin@aisle10.net.

The SWAP – an effort to help keep usable items out of the waste stream – will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Breakheart’s Christopher P. Dunne Visitors Center (177 Forest St., Saugus). And don’t forget to also bring your worn-out athletic shoes for drop-off in our recycling bin as we plan to once again participate in the Nike Reuse-a-Shoe Program. The donated shoes are ground up and purified to become material that will eventually become part of sports surfacing products, including safe playground surfacing. This is a free event – no money – just a simple swap. You can bring items or take items; you do not have to do both. Feel free to bring usable items in good condition to the SWAP, typically those things you no longer want but that are too good to throw away, or simply come by and browse. You may find a treasure or two to take home with you. (Please, do not bring items that require special disposal.) For more information about the SWAP, please contact Ann at adevlin@aisle10.net.You can also visit the SAVE websites at http:// www.saugus.org/SAVE or http://www.SaugusSAVE.org and follow the link to SAVE’s Facebook page.
