Relatively warm December temperatures allowed for a leisurely and peaceful event that was enjoyed by all. Future events are subject to weather and health conditions. However, snow sledding on the meadow next to the skating rink is planned if there is snow for weekends, and a possible Easter Egg Hunt. The park is open daily from dawn to dusk for walking and hiking. A TIME FOR FRIENDS: Val Kappa and Hannah Richardson of Saugus get some hiking in. IDEAL WEATHER: The rain held off until the end of the New Year’s Day hikes at Breakheart Reservation last Saturday (Jan. 1), and the walkers were treated to relatively warm December temperatures.

For Saugus, so far the issue has mostly affected basketball. The Sachem boys have not played since a 60-55 home win over Winthrop back on Dec. 20. Their next game at Peabody just two days later was postponed due to COVID protocol issues. The boys have not seen action since. The Saugus girls have also seen their last few games called off. They last competed when they hosted Peabody back on Dec. 22, which ended in a loss. So far, the Saugus hockey and wrestling teams had not been impacted until Saturday’s hockey tilt at Lynn was postponed as well as Wednesday’s wrestling meet at Beverly. The boys’ basketball team is off to a strong 3-0 start and hopes to get back on the court next Tuesday at Beverly. As well, the girls, who currently stand at 1-3, are hoping to resume with a home game next Tuesday against the Big Blue.
