THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, January 17, 2020 Page 13 SOUNDS | from page 12 been treated to home playoff games in 17 of the 19 straight winning seasons by virtue of 17 division titles. They also got to see the team host seven AFC title games. That is 24 home playoff games during the best 19-year run in the history of pro football. Six Super Bowls, nine AFC titles, 17 AFC Eastern Division titles. What more can you say, you spoiled New England sports fans? During that 19-year stretch, New York Jets fans have only seen their team host one playoff game. Miami Dolphins fans have only seen their team host one playoff game. And the poor Buffalo Bills fans haven’t had a home playoff game during the entire 19-year-run. It would take another two decades for any NFL franchise to achieve the unprecedented level of success that Patriots fans have enjoyed.

A workshop on “Community Resilience Building” This looks like an interesting all-day workshop that was worth attending, if you happened to be one of those 70-some odd people who received their invitations recently. At least, I would have been interested and would have gone had I been invited. “Myself and the Planning and Development Department would like to personally invite you to join a one-day, Community Resilience Building Workshop on Tuesday, January 14, 2020,” Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree writes in a recent email that has been circulating around town recently. “This workshop and outreach process is designed for the Town of Saugus to be as proactive as possible in preparing and protecting the community. The Workshop will take place from 9:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. in the Saugus Town Hall Auditorium. Morning refreshments and lunch will be provided. “This workshop is by invitation only based on a model and process designed by our partners, the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC). There will be additional opportunities for the general public to attend and provide input at a later date in the process. “Given recent events like the 2018 Nor’easters, the drought of 2016 and the record 110 inches of snow in 2015, we now find ourselves in an era of more unpredictable and severe weather that can potentially cause more damage to the residents, businesses, infrastructure and institutions in the Town of Saugus. The Town is beginning a project to address these concerns. Your input is important to these efforts. “The Town of Saugus has partnered with the MAPC to offer this workshop which will bring together diverse community members to identify and prioritize action steps to reduce risk and improve resilience across the town. This Workshop will help to advance the Town’s resilience efforts, and make it eligible for Action Grants under the state’s Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness program. “The Workshop Objectives are as follows: • Identify strengths and vulnerabilities of infrastructure, residents, and natural resources. • Identify and prioritize resilience actions that can be taken by 1.
