Throughout the year, many hearts are touched by the Lyons’ thoughtful cards. Each card is thoughtfully handwritten with quotes or an article pertinent to the recipient’s situation at hand. Ed and Jean take action to light sparks of hope to people rehabilitating from an injury, grieving, illness or surgery. They send ‘thinking of you’ and holiday cards. “I’m touched to have received a Birthday card today with a beautiful quote Jean ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Essex Probate and Family Court 36 Federal Street Salem, MA 01970 Docket No. ES26P0291GD In the matter of: Thomas F.

Thank you.” Here are a few “Shout Outs” from the editor: –A special “Shout Out” to Joanie Allbee, a frequent contributor to the newspaper, who produced Valentine’s Day-themed photos, a column about love and a “Shout Out” for this week’s paper. No local freelance writer, photographer or author captures Valentine’s Day like Joanie – a Saugus resident who was born on Valentine’s Day. Happy birthday, Joanie! –A “Shout Out” to outgoing Saugus High Head Football Coach Steve Cummings, who had been at the helm of the Sachems since 2019. He decided to step down after the 2025 season so he could watch his son play football at Wakefield High School. During his time at Saugus High, Coach Cummings impressed me as a standup guy who sought to mentor his players to better themselves beyond the football field – using their experience to become good citizens in their lives after football. That’s a coach who really cares about his players. –A “Shout Out” to the new Saugus High Head Coach, Greg Bluestein, a lifelong Saugus resident who set coaching as a personal goal during his freshman year at Saugus High. He has 14 years of High School coaching experience – including the last four at Saugus High. He is well-known throughout the community, having served as President of Saugus Youth Football & Cheer during the last three years. He played four years of varsity football at Saugus High. –A “Shout Out” to Eugene and Arlene Decareau, who are enjoying 73 years of love and marriage. That’s a lot of Valentine’s Day celebrations shared by family and friends. Want to “Shout Out” a fellow Saugonian?
