Vogler T he town’s Board of Health has lost another court battle in its eff orts to challenge a permit issued by the state Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) nearly four years ago which allowed expansion of WIN Waste Innovations’ (formerly Wheelabrator) ash landfill adjacent to its trash-to-energy plant on Last Call For Comments Route 107. In a 13-page opinion rendered last week (March 2), the Massachusetts Appeals Court upheld an earlier Suffolk Superior Court ruling that MassDEP’s April 2018 permit was valid and that there was no evidence to support the Board of Health’s appeal. The Board of Health had appealed MassDEP’s decision to modify the facility’s operating permit, claiming it was improper because the facility lacked a valid site assignment. The board had also contended that MassDEP’s claim that modification of the operating permit was not a threat to public health, safety or the environment or endangered species and their habitat was unsupported by substantial evidence. But a superior court judge rejected the Board of Health’s claims, as did the Appeals Court. “The board argues fi rst that Town residents and local government offi cials will have a fi - nal chance to comment on the final draft of the town’s updated Master Plan in a “Zoom” meeting on Wednesday.

The Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site is starting preservation and restoration work this week and continuing through midsummer. A contractor hired by the National Park Service will be replacing much of the charging bridge and casting shed roof of the blast furnace. This maintenance project will replace aging wooden beams, decking and other elements to maintain and improve the safety and condition of these structures. A substantial portion of the upper lawn and a perimeter around the blast furnace and casting shed will be fenced off for materials, equipment storage (including a large crane) and work area. The remaining unfenced lawn areas, entrances to the park and all other pathways through the park will remain open to the public unless construction activities require additional temporary closures to ensure safety. Work and access areas of the upper lawn will be protected with heavy landscape fabric and gravel placed on top of the turf to protect the lawn and archeological resources. The work being performed will generate increased noise. Disruption will be minimized by having construction activity primarily take place Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Currently, we anticipate the work to be completed this summer. Please visit the park website https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/preservation-and-restoration.htm to follow progress. SITE OF RESTORATION: Beginning in early 2022, major life cycle preservation and restoration work will occur on the blast furnace, casting shed and charging bridge. To maintain safety and accurately refl ect the historic appearance and function of the Saugus Iron Works reconstruction, the following items will be fully replaced or receive signifi cant repair: deck planks, wind screen, railing, roof boards, framing for bridge and roof, masonry structure mortar and outriggers.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2022 Page 5 ~ THE ADVOCATE ASKS ~ Retired Detective James Donovan discusses his 32 years with the Saugus Police Department Editor’s Note: For this week, we interviewed Saugus resident James Donovan, who retired on Feb. 28 from the Saugus Police Department after 32 years. Detective Donovan, 65, last week received citations from the Saugus Board of Selectmen, the Massachusetts House of Representatives and the Saugus Police Department recognizing his service to the citizens of Saugus. Recently, he also received a plaque from the FBI Boston Offi ce thanking him for his “years of dedication and service to the FBI Boston Violent Crimes Task Force from December 2008 to February 2022.” Donovan was born in the old Saugus General Hospital and grew up in Lynn. He was a 1974 graduate of Lynn Tech, where he studied metal fabrication. In 1980 he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and became a helicopter crew chief. He served for four years before discharging as a Sergeant E-5. After the service, Donovan worked as a welder for General Electric. He later married Lisa Ann Brown, a 1980 Lynn Tech graduate who was also born in the old Saugus General Hospital. She was a special education teacher, and they were married for 35 years before she passed away last July after losing a courageous battle to ALS. Donovan still wears the blue rubber wristband bearing his wife’s name. He credits his fellow officers in Saugus and from area police departments A DETECTIVE BY CHOICE: Retired Saugus Police Detective James Donovan says he was never interested in climbing up through the ranks of law enforcement. He found professional fulfillment by remaining a detective instead of taking promotional exams. (Saugus Advocate photo by Mark E. Vogler) with providing him with emotional support as he endured his personal tragedy. Donovan was initially hired by the Town of Saugus as a fi refighter and served as a temporary firefighter for several months before being laid off . But having taken the Civil Service Examination for police offi cers, he was able to apply for an opening with the Saugus Police Department and became a police offi cer in February 1990. He spent about nine years in uniform patrol before becoming a detective. The Essex County District Attorney’s Offi ce began a drug task force, working with Saugus and other police departments. Donovan became a member of the task force and began working on drug cases, often teaming up with offi cers in other departments throughout the region. In late 2008, he began working with the FBI Boston Violent Crimes Task Force and continued that association until his retirement several weeks ago. Donovan joined the Police Department with former Saugus Police Chief Domenic DiMella, who retired in August of 2018 after 29 years with the Police Department. To relieve stress and keep in good physical condition, they pursued and earned their Black Belts in Kempo Karate together. Donovan has spent more than three decades as a member of William Sutton Masonic Lodge in Saugus. He said he was a Master of the Lodge when he was going to the Police Academy. The commendations throughout his law enforcement career include the 1997 “Offi cer of the Year” from the Saugus Police Department. Donovan and his late wife Lisa raised two children who both graduated from Saugus High School. His son, James, of Boston, resigned as a Saugus fi refi ghter on Feb. 5 (the same day Donovan resigned from the Police Department) and began working for the Boston Fire Department. He and his fi ancé, Justina Levey, had a baby girl – Monroe Ann – last October. That is Detective Donovan’s fi rst grandchild. His daughter, Rachel Patrizzi, of Beverly, is a personal trainer, but is also on the list of candidates for a position on the Saugus Fire Department. If successful, she would become the fi rst woman fi refi ghter in Saugus. Her husband, Guido, is a Revere police offi cer. Feb. 6 is a special day for Detective Donovan. He shares that birthday with his mother – 86-year-old Beatrice Mills, who lives next door – and his late grandfather, Edwin “Bucker” Holmes, a “Person of the Year Award” recipient at the 1996 Founders Day and also a member of the Volunteer Saugus Fire Department. Donovan’s middle name is Edwin, after his grandfather.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2022 Page 7 ASKS | FROM PAGE 6 as a job – I looked upon it as an opportunity. I truly liked what I did. I truly liked helping people. Q: What will you consider the most memorable part of your job when you look back 10 years from now? A: I would say helping people to get off their addiction to narcotics and knowing that they’re still doing well. I think that’s a good thing. Q: Do you have a couple of people you look after now? A: Yes. I’m still in touch with them. I converse with them: “Hi. How are you doing?” I remember this young woman I would buy drugs from and she had a young child. And I had to arrest her. But she got her life turned around, and she would send cards to the offi ce saying if it weren’t for getting arrested, she would have lost her child. And that was a success story. Q: Was that a Saugus person? A: She actually lived in Saugus at that time. I would go there. It was strange. I would go to that house as a member of the narcotics task force, and the little kid would get to know me. It got to the point where if I was going to go lot of it takes family support. But in the end, the person has got to want to do it for themselves. But when you find out that they’ve done well and turned their lives around, that’s awesome. And there are three people who I arrested who are still clean, and I see them regularly. Q: After working all those years in drug enforcement, do you have any personal thoughts on how the drug offenders should be dealt with? A: Getting hooked on heroin – or any drug – is a terrible thing. And my personal view is I don’t think the user needs to be incarcerated. He Q: How many girls were involved? A: There were seven that we knew of. He had contact with many diff erent girls – as we did the forensic search of his computer – and we were able to reach out to all of the girls. Q: What were the ages of the girls? A: At the time, I’d say they were all under 16 when this happened. At the time, we didn’t have a school resource offi cer at the high school, and I wound up working closely with the school offi cials. A lot of the girls did go to Saugus High School at the time. Q: How old was the off ender? A: He was a couple of years older than them. He was about 17. Q: Was he a student at the school? A: At one point, he was. Q: Is there any case that eluded you and frustrates you as you look back? ASKS | SEE PAGE 8 MPR ENGINEERING CO.

(Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate) When my wife was still working, some would come over and say, “If it wasn’t for Jim, my life would be a lot diff erent.” That meant a lot. As much as I was involved in the narcotics fi eld, I really tried to help a lot of people. Q: As you look back on that part of your career when you did a lot in the drug enforcement area – if you can share the tragedy and damage it does to people’s lives. Is there any one case or incident where you saw something that’s haunted you over the years? A: Yeah. A lot of times you see a mother and a father, and the drug takes a hold of them and they get addicted to it. And there are very young children, and you look at them and say, “Oh my gosh!” There’s this very young child and it’s heart-wrenching. there, I was going to bring a “Happy Meal” for this little kid. It was sad that the mother was on drugs. But I don’t know anyone who has said, “I’m glad I’m a heroin addict.” Nobody wants to be on that drug. Q: Have you kept tabs on that lady? A: No. But I think she moved with her family down into the Philadelphia area. But there are three people in this region right now that I still know of. I bump into them on a regular basis. They always make it a point to come over and say “Hi” to me and let me know that they’re doing well. That’s a hard thing to do, as you know. Many people stumble several times before they get on the right track, whether it’s drugs, alcohol or any other kind of addiction. It’s a hard road to haul, and a or she should be in a medical facility: a place where they receive treatment and rebuild their self-esteem and self-respect. I believe a medical facility would be better than a voluntary rehab center. And I’m a great proponent of AA. You need a good support group as part of your rehabilitation. Q: What’s the case in your career that you are most proud of during your service to Saugus Police Department? A: We had a person who was sexually assaulting young girls. It was going on for a while, and eventually we were able to fi nd out what was going on and we ended up arresting him. There were several girls he was sexually assaulting and taking advantage of. We arrested him and put him away and brought closure for the girls who were young at the time.
Page 8 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2022 ASKS | FROM PAGE 7 A: No. Through it all, I keep telling myself my job is to take the case and follow wherever it goes and present it to the courts. Sometimes when cases go to court, you expect to win but you lose them. And other times, you go to court and you don’t expect to win, but you do. So – if I could pass anything on to the newer detectives – you do your best to investigate a case and present it to the courts, and they determine what happens, whether there was enough evidence or not. Are there some cases I feel bad that should happen the other way? Do I feel bad for the victims? Yes. But you know what? That’s what our democratic society is for. You go to court to determine justice: what’s right and what’s wrong. Maybe I made a mistake. I didn’t get enough evidence or didn’t dot this “i” or cross this “t” – so you learn from that, so when the next time you’re in the same situation, it doesn’t happen again. I think the toughest thing for me – when you have two- and three-year-old children in sexual assault cases … Q: Two- and three-year-old children? A: Yeah. It’s heart-wrenching. You want to go after that person, but my job at the time was to interview that person, and I’ve got to take the emotion out of it and just kind of get in that person’s head and get them to talk to me and explain what they did and why, and in the end, know that I got the information out of them. And, in the end, the court determines what needs to be done. Those are the hard cases. Q: What do you do as an outlet after working those tough cases, whether it’s drugs or sexual assault? What was your outlet? • • • A: Karate and my family. As I told everybody when I retired, there’s nothing more important than your family and your friends. I believed in going home and just being with my wife, or my kids or my friends. Sometimes I’d be quiet; I would go home and I would be quiet. My wife was phenomenal. She would hug me or sit beside me. And if I didn’t feel like talking, she would give me my space, and I would tell her I didn’t feel like talking about it until the case was resolved. But you gotta have that outlet. I don’t care if it’s my profession, your profession or the teaching profession – you have to have an outlet. We’ve all heard the horror stories when you don’t – alcoholism and divorce, drugs, anything – so you need a healthy outlet. The job is very consuming. You work a lot of hours. But you need to spend time with your family. To me, there is nothing more important than family and friends. You may have dealt with a bad person. But society is not bad. Ninety-nine percent of society is good. Q: Now you spent your career as a detective and were not interested in advancing in rank to a sergeant or lieutenant.? A: I was happy to be a detective. I felt I could contribute by doing what I did. I had phenomenal chiefs throughout my career who supported me going out there, and a lot of times I was on my own, working with other departments. One of the guys I became best friends with was Bob DiSalvatore out of Malden.

The Saugus team included Scotty Brazis, Paul Nigro and my son, Mike Stewart. When Bobby fi nished at St. John’s, he went on to an illustrious career in the NHL, as anyone in the area knows. He also founded a couple of professional hockey players, and his daughter Alex also played in the Olympics. Bobby never told his children to play hockey, but he did build a rink in their backyard and a shooting area with a bucket of pucks. In her early years, Alex was usually the only girl on the ice, and she had a tough time responding to attention of spectators. Her father told her, “You have to be able to deal with compliments and learn to be successful. You can say, ‘Thank you very much’ and really appreciate it, and then you can go out outside the rink and yell your head off .” The father played for 21 seasons in the NHL for the Washington Capitals, New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings, Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils and internationally in the World Cup. His oldest son – known as Bobo – played for Governor’s Academy and Austin Prep for high school in Massachusetts. After some amateur hockey, he went to Boston University (my alma mater), then three seasons in the AHL and two seasons in the ECHL. The Carpenters’ youngest son, Brendan, chose football instead. But the subject of this article is his daughter, Alex, from North Reading. Alex was the fi rst girl to play in the Morristown, New Jersey, Little League – as a pitcher, catcher and shortstop as a 10-year-old. She started playing hockey in a middle school boys’ team in Bethlehem, New York, while her father played for the Rangers. She played her high school years at Governor’s Academy starting at 13 years old. During her three years at the Academy, she scored 155 goals and had 136 assists for a total of 291 points, or nearly 100 per year. She went from the private high school to Boston College (BC), where she played 150 games, scored 133 goals and had 145 assists, for 278 points, again nearly 100 per year. In her junior season, she was awarded the 2015 Patty Kazmaier Award as the top female ice hockey player in the United States. She went on to play for USA Hockey, competing for Team USA under-18 against Canada, and was a player on the team that won the Czech Challenge Cup in Prague in 2009. In 2010 she played for the USA in the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Women’s Under 18 Championship as a 15-year-old and was the second in team scoring with eight goals and one assist. She was on the senior team IIHF in 2013. She was on the Olympic team in 2014, and in the 2016 Women’s World Championship she scored the winning goal in overtime to beat Canada for the championship. She played for the USA fi ve times in the IIHF World Championship, receiving fi ve gold medals. She played for the USA in the 2022 Olympics. She almost moved to professional hockey as the fi rst player drafted in the National Women’s Hockey League in 2015 by the New York Riveters, but instead returned to BC, and her rights were traded to the Boston Pride. She was the professional league’s second-highest scorer in the 2017-2018 season. She was drafted by the Chinese expansion team, Kunlun Red Star WIH based in Shenzhen, China. Her father was a coach for Red Star during the 2017-2018 season. The team played in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Playing for USA Hockey, she played 47 games, scored 29 goals and had 21 assists. As a professional she played 58 games, scored 31 goals and had 41 assists. As a fan of college hockey, I was always impressed by Alex Carpenter, who had an exceptional ability to play the game.
THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2022 Page 9 ASKS | FROM PAGE 8 ners 20-plus years out of my career. He and I were in the drug unit. We both worked with the FBI Boston Crimes Violent Task Force together. For two different departments, Bob and I have been on the longest. I joined the Police Department in February of 1990. I started with the former Saugus chief, Domenic DiMella, and Len Campanello, who had been police chief in Gloucester. I started with them. They moved up in rank, and I stayed a detective by choice. I decided not to take the exams. I went on to see the entire gamut of law enforcement, from local to state to federal, and I got to work with a lot of different people, both young and old. And as I look back on my career, I have no regrets. Q: What was the most difficult, challenging aspect of your job? Did you have to do the death notifi cations? A: As a detective, you have to respond to sudden deaths, car accidents, somebody who had been shot or stabbed, overdosed. Sometimes it’s a young person. And you’ve got to go and knock on somebody’s door and pass that information on that one of their loved ones has just passed or overdosed or is in the hospital and severely injured. That’s passing on bad news, and unfortunately, in our fi eld, over the years, whether it’s natural causes, accidents or suicides or drugs, it’s tough. You have to compartmentalize it. If you don’t have an outlet, it can eat you up, so that’s when it’s good to talk to family, coworkers or whatever. We have to do that. If not, it can take you to a dark side. Q: The more you do it, you get good at it and develop a sensitive ear. But it doesn’t get any easier, does it? APPRECIATION FROM SAUGUS: The Saugus Police Department recognized James Donovan “For 32 Years of Dedicated Service.” (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate) A: No. It could be a good person or a bad person. Once I arrested somebody, I just treated them like a human being, and that was the way I always conducted myself, and the same thing with the notifi cations. I always try to treat people with respect. Q: Over the years, you must have worked with Saugus High School on Shadow Day, where you introduce students to your profession and let students tag around with you for part of a day. So, what would you tell students about your job? A: Law enforcement, or being a detective, what would be great about doing this? Q: Yes. So, what would you tell them? A: If you are into helping people, it’s a great job. It’s self-rewarding. You’re basically your own boss when you’re out in that patrol car, and you have huge interactions with people. You can change peoples’ lives daily, for good or bad. You don’t have to be a hard ass all the time. If you are angry about getting caught, don’t get mad at me, because I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for what you did. But it’s a job where you can really help people. Most cops want to do a good job and don’t want to be around bad cops, just like you don’t want to work with bad reporters. I don’t want to work with bad cops. Unfortunately, it’s that small few that give us a bad name. Ninety-nine percent of the cops out there are doing a good job and truly want to help people. Q: Is there anything else that you would like to share about A THANK YOU FROM THE FBI: Retired Saugus Police Detective James Donovan recently received this framed commendation for his 13-plus years of service on the FBI Boston Violent Crimes Task Force. (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate) your career and your challenges? A: I’m very fortunate. I got to be a fi rearms instructor. I got to be a self-defense instructor.

Page 10 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2022 Thousands mourn, honor State Police Trooper Tamar Bucci By Adam Swift A sea of blue surrounded St. Anthony’s Church Wednesday morning as more than 2,000 police offi cers from across the state and beyond joined family and friends to help lay State Trooper Tamar Bucci to rest. Bucci, 34, was killed on Thursday, March 3 when a tanker truck collided with her cruiser on Interstate 93 in Stoneham. Six female State Troopers who were in Bucci’s academy class served as pallbearers. Governor Charlie Baker, Lt. Governor Karyn Polito and Attorney General Maura Healey were among those standing near the entrance of the church as the procession made its way inside. Bucci’s stepfather, Jim Burditt, delivered one of the eulogies, remembering Bucci as a loving person who was both down to earth and in touch with a spiritual side. “She is now protecting all of us from above, and I am confi dent that we will continue to feel her presence here on earth,” Burditt said. Burditt also spoke of Bucci’s focus and commitment, which was evident even long before she became a State Trooper. “After listening to stories and laughing for hours, it is safe to say that if Tamar didn’t feel what was deep in her soul, she was not going to be 100 percent in; in fact, she was 100 percent out,” Burditt said. “What does that mean? Well, if her sister was driving her in her Barbie Corvette and she wasn’t having fun, she would jump out. “But one of the things she did feel deep in her soul was a passion for fi tness. She worked out daily, ran a marathon, and even did a bodybuilding competition.” State Police Colonel Christopher Mason eulogized Bucci as a trooper who had a calling to serve. “The colonel of the State Police has the privilege to speak to recruit classes directly at their graduation exercises,” said Mason. “At what was Tamar’s proudest day, I chose to speak to the 85th Troop Training Group about the responsibility to serve, to place the needs of others above their own, selfl essly assist those who are vulnerable, those who are victims or survivors, those who are in need. I submit to you today that Tamar’s actions throughout her career embodied this sentiment far better than my words ever could.” State Police Chaplain Father Paul Clifford said that from the beginning of her life Tamar was involved in everything and engaging with everyone with her eyes focused on tomorrow. Cliff ord said Bucci was wise beyond her years and knew what it meant to serve and live for others. “Thank you for showing us how to be wise and to serve and protect,” said Clifford. “Thank you for reminding us how a light shines within us all.” Trooper Tamar Bucci’s family reacts as her coffi n is brought out following her funeral Mass.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2022 Page 13 Sachems fall in double OT playoff opener T By Greg Phipps he Saugus High School hockey team proved more than worthy of its Div. 4 playoff berth last Thursday when it nearly knocked off ninth-seeded Assabet Valley in their Round of 32 contest at Navin Rink in Marlborough. The 24th-seeded Sachems held a 4-3 lead late in the second period before the host Aztecs tied it up in the waning seconds of the middle stanza. Both teams tallied in the third to force the game to overtime deadlocked at fi ve. The game would remain even until the Aztecs scored to end it late in the second 3-on3 overtime session to escape with a 6-5 victory. The loss ended Saugus’s season at 7-13-1 overall. Despite dropping four of their last fi ve regular-season games, the Sachems steadily improved while going up against some tough, higher-division competition. That was evident in last Thursday’s playoff at Assabet, as the Aztecs had 15 wins entering the Round of 32 and have since advanced to the Round of 8. Saugus had two players with Senior co-captain Chris Regnetta dished out four assists in Saugus’s hard-fought double overtime loss to Assabet Valley last Thursday. (Advocate photos by Greg Phipps) two-goal eff orts against Assabet. Jason Caron and Jason Monahan each tallied twice. Massey Ventre contributed a goal and assisted on another, and Chris Regnetta took over the role of playmaker by dishing out four assists. Goalie Matt Smith took the loss in net but made some fi ne saves to keep his team in it. The Sachems came back from 2-0 and 3-2 defi cits, and forced the overtime when Monahan Youth Hockey Playoff s East Coast Junior Patriots make it to the Semifi nals after a pair of come-from-behind wins; fi nish third in tournament By Meghann Breton Special to Th e Saugus Advocate R ecently, the East Coast Junior Patriots (ECJP) competed in the State Championships for Massachusetts. The ECJP are a triple A PeeWee youth hockey team made up of 11- and 12-yea- old kids from Saugus and the surrounding towns. The ECJP were one of only eight teams that made it to the tournament this year in their division. The kids made it all the way to the Semifi nals and fi nished in third place. The ECJP played their fi rst States game on Friday, Feb. 25, at the John A. Ryan Arena in Watertown against Nonotuck. By the second period the ECJP were losing by three goals. During the second period the ECJP made a comeback; Conor Lacy scored the fi rst goal, Adam Mouhib followed up with the second and fi nally Shane Higgins tied up the game with the third goal. In the third period the ECJP kept the momentum going, prevented Nonotuck from scoring and also scored two more goals. The ECJP fi nished strong, winning 5-3. The ECJP played their second States game on Saturday, Feb. 26, at the Veterans Memorial Rink in Waltham against Whitman Hanson Kingston. At the end of the fi rst period, ECJP was down by three goals again. Adam Mouhib ended the second period scoring the fi rst goal for ECJP. Shane Higgins scored two goals – tying up the game – during the third period. In the last 40 seconds of the game, Domenic Magliozzi scored, stealing the lead and winning the game for ECJP, 4-3. The ECJP became the only undefeated team in the tournament after two come-from-behind wins.

In the second period, Sudbury Maynard Stow (SMS) scored the first goal of the game. Shane Higgins quickly followed up with a goal for ECJP. Jace Pereira ended the second period scoring and securing the lead for ECJP. During the last few minutes of the third period, SMS scored three goals, stealing the lead.

The ECJP played their State Championship Semifi nals on Sunday, Feb. 27 at the John A. Ryan Arena in Watertown against Burlington. Artie O’Leary started off the fi rst period strongly, scoring the fi rst goal for ECJP. James Caruso ended the fi rst period with another goal, making the score 2-0. In the second and third periods, Burlington came back strongly, scoring goal after goal against the ECJP. The ECJP kept fi ghting, but they were unable to make a comeback. Burlington beat ECJP, 7-2. This loss knocked ECJP out of the tournament. The ECJP have come a long way from two years ago. Back in 2020, the ECJP competed in the State Championships as Squirts. In 2020, these kids didn’t even come close to the Semifi nals. They were out skilled and unprepared for the competition that they faced. After two years of practice and hard work, these same kids not only managed to qualify for the State Championships again, but also managed to finish in third place in their division. The ECJP plan to keep working hard and honing their skills, come back stronger next year and win the State Championships. In the meantime, the ECJP plan to fi nish up their regular hockey season and then fi nish off strongly with their playoff games this month. The ECJP will play their next game on March 12 at 12:50 p.m. at the Kasabuski Rink in Saugus. scored with 5:27 left in regulation to tie it at 5-5. Assabet’s Nolan Tomczyk scored the game-winner just under three minutes into the second OT. Saugus Head Coach Jeff Natalucci told the press after the game that he is proud of his team’s playoff performance. Young goalie Matt Smith saw his fi ne season come to an end in last Thursday’s playoff loss to Assabet Valley. “We battled back a few times out there,” he said. “But in the end [the Aztecs] were just able to make one more play than us.” Saugus’s seven wins came against Lynn (twice), Swampscott (twice), Pentucket, Everett/Revere and Somerville. The Sachems fi nished with a 2-7-1 record in Northeastern Conference play. Departing seniors are Ventre, Caron, Monahan, Regnetta, Ryan Ragucci, Matt Robbins and Jason Freehling.
Page 14 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2022 Saugus players named to NEC all-star teams T By Greg Phipps he Northeastern Conference (NEC) recently announced its 2021-22 all-conference team in both boys’ and girls’ basketball. Five Saugus players were selected. Two of them made the NEC all-conference team. For the boys, Saugus’s top scorer, Tyrone Manderson, was one of seven players to make the NEC all-conference squad. He was a consistent and at times prolifi c off ensive performer for the Sachems, who fi nished 8-12 this season and fell just shy of earning a playoff berth in Joe Bertrand’s fi rst full season as head coach. Junior guard Ben Tapia-Gately was recognized as a member of the NEC Dunn Division all-star squad. He was another consistent performer and engineered the Saugus off ense. Tapia-Gately frequently fi nished with double-digit scoring eff orts. On the girls’ side, senior forward/ center Fallon Millerick captured a spot on the seven-member all-conference team. She led the team in points scored numerous times and helped guide the Sachems to a 12win campaign and playoff appearance in 2021-22. Two Saugus girls made the Dunn Division all-star team. Ashleen Escobar, a solid all-around guard/forward, and eighth-grade guard Peyton DiBiasio were recognized for their efforts. Escobar performed well both offensively and defensively while DiBiasio showed some scoring prowess with a number of double-digit scoring outputs and an ability to attack the net. Beverly guard Ryder Frost was named NEC Player of the Year for the boys. For the girls, Peabody’s Logan Lomasney received the honor.

Season ends for Saugus girls’ basketball team in Round of 32 T By Greg Phipps he Saugus High School girls’ basketball team took part in numerous low-scoring games this season. More often than not, the Sachems were able to grind their way to low-scoring wins. But their propensity to struggle at times on the offensive end proved to be their undoing in a 55-30 Div. 3 Round of 32 playoff loss last Thursday to the Bishop Stang Spartans. Visiting Saugus was not only up against the 13th-seeded Spartans but a raucous home crowd at the Bishop Stang gymnasium. The combination was too much to overcome for the No. 20 Sachems. The season-ending loss didn’t take away from what had been a strong season overall for the Sachems, who finished with a 12-9 record after losing three of their first four games. Head Coach Mark Schruender and his squad recovered nicely from a tough, pandemic-shortened 2020-21 campaign when Saugus managed to win only twice. “We came off last season winning just two games,” he told the press after last Thursday’s defeat. “Obviously, it was crazy with the pandemic. This year we went 12-8, and I’m so proud of everybody for coming together. Our seniors, in particular, did so much.” Three seniors suited up in a Saugus uniform for the fi nal time. They were co-captains Fallon Millerick, April Aldred and Cassandra Israelson. No Sachems player reached double fi gures in the defeat. Ashleen Escobar was high scorer with nine points while Millerick and Ashleigh Moore each netted six. Saugus found itself looking up at a 33-18 deficit at halftime after shooting just seven of 25 from the field over the first two quarters. From there, the Sachems were unable to muster a comeback and scored just 12 points over the final 16 minutes. Schruender acknowledged that producing 30 points isn’t going to win many games, especially in the playoffs. “It’s a credit to [Bishop Stang’s] defense. They were outstanding all night and made it hard to start our offense,” he observed. “We were nervous a little bit and had shots that did not go down for us. That’s part of playing in a state tournament game.”

But Board of Health Chair William Heffernan sought to stress a positive working relationship between the Board of Health and WIN Waste Innovations. “I’m sure the town isn’t happy about taking it on the chin there, but I think, more importantly, your point about moving forward in good faith collaboration – I think we’ve been doing that over these past, probably, eight to 10 months,” Heffernan told Connolly. “I’d like to continue to see that. Hopefully, we can enter into a time of peace here. A little peace time vs. war time, and like I said, work collaboratively together and really try to make a diff erence in the community. That’s my hope,” he said. The Appeals Court decision, in addressing three major issues initially raised by the Board of Health, concluded that: * The trash-to-energy plant has a valid site assignment. * MassDEP was correct in issuing the permit for the ash monofi ll in 2018 (known as the valley fi ll permit) while determining that the facility didn’t pose a threat to public safety, health, the environment or endangered species and their habitat. * The slurry wall that is being used is “at least as eff ective as a traditional liner” in containing the ash.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2022 Page 17 SAUGUS GARDENS IN THE WINTER Here’s what’s blooming in town this week to make your walks more enjoyable By Laura Eisener O utdoors it may seem we are not much closer to spring than we were a few weeks ago, but there are many signs that it is on its way. At the edge of the melting snow, my snowdrops have started to open, and quite a few other plants are noticeably brighter green in recent days. The clover in my lawn is already showing some green leafl ets on the sunniest side of the house; the spear-like leaves of iris, and certainly many of the daff odil leaves, are already several inches tall and full of promise. If that’s not suffi cient green, St. Patrick’s Day decorations are popping up to celebrate next Thursday’s popular holiday. I should mention that there are two saints’ days that we will be celebrating on Thursday, and one of Tonia Chadwick’s decorations manages to pay tribute to both at once. St. Gertrude’s Day also falls on March 17, and in Tonia’s front yard is an infl ated fi gure of a green-eyed gray cat wearing a green top hat and bow tie, sitting in a larger green hat adorned with a shamrock! Last year at this time I wrote about the continuing debate over which is the true shamrock: clover (Trifolium) or wood sorrel (Oxalis). The story goes that the fourth-century Irish Saint Patrick used the three leafl ets of shamrock to explain the trinity – father, son and Holy Ghost. There are over 500 species of plants in the oxalis genus, many of them from South America, and about 300 kinds of clover, so fi guring out the “true shamrock” cannot really be done in a few hundred words! Certainly both of these plants, but also quite a few others, have the necessary three leaflets. In our climate we seldom see much of either outdoors in March, although now that a few inches of ground have thawed there are a few clovers beginning to show. Some three-leaved plants, including a few pea family members closely related to clovers, are commonly known as trefoil. While the word literally comes from a Latin word for three-leaved, trefoil can be understood to be a literal three-leaved plant, a threelobed architectural decoration like a window or molding, or a set of three almost anything, and since March is also OXALIS ‘PLUM CRAZY’: This plant has mostly purple foliage, but liberally splashed with pink. (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate by Laura Eisener) JUST STARTING TO COME UP: white clover (trifolium repens) in the lawn. (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate by Laura Eisener) WINDOW DECORATION: A last year’s shamrock (Oxalis triangularis) in my window shows varied colors in its triangular leaves. (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate by Laura Eisener) traditionally Girl Scout Cookie Month, we may think fi rst of a certain Girl Scout cookie! All of these other meanings derived originally from a threeleaved plant. Purple shamrock (Oxalis triangularis) from South America is one of the most popular houseplants sold for St. Patrick’s Day. It has compound leaves with three leaflets, but far from being green, the leaves are dark purple with slightly lighter purple markings, and the leaf stalks are also purple. The fl owers are white to pale pink, with fi ve petals, but the leaves are probably the most ornamental part of the plant. The one I bought in March 2021 is still thriving in my front window. Another tropical variety, Oxalis spiralis ‘Plum Crazy,’ has mostly purple foliage, but liberally splashed with pink, and the leafl ets are much smaller and more rounded than the triangular shapes of the more readily available types of purple shamrock. Most other oxalis species have green foliage, including the somewhat common lawn weed yellow wood sorrel (Oxalis stricta). While the three leaves are probably the most recognizable symbol of St. Patrick’s Day, four-leaved shamrocks are also popular decorations. The tradition of it being a sign of good luck stems from the rarity of four-leaf clovers, and, for that matter, of four-leaved oxalis plants. Occasional mutations are usually the cause of a four-leaved clover. We have found a few in our clover-spangled lawn, though by far the majority of leaves have the usual three leafl ets. While trefoils are a very popular feature of medieval church architecture and styles derived from them, quatrefoils are also popular. As you might guess, the word comes from Latin – meaning four leaves or, more accurately, four leaflets. As for oxalis, four leaf oxalis (Oxalis tetraphylla) is one of the few in this genus that has four rather than three leafl ets, and it is mostly green with just a little purple at the base of each leafl et. Indoors or out, there can be little doubt that we are on the verge of spring. It may be another month before the predominant color of the landscape is really green, but from now on there will be more A LATE WINTER BLOOMER: A snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) in the snow.

Day Laboratory for Neuromuscular Research at UMass Chan Medical School. OBITUARIES William E. “Mac” McAdoo Of Saugus, age 90, died on Saturday, March 5 at the Melrose-Wakefield Hospital. He was the husband of the late Barbara L. (DePaola) McAdoo whom he met in high school. Born during the Great Depression, the youngest of 10 children, he was born, raised and a lifelong resident of Saugus, a true Saugonian. Mr. McAdoo was the son of the late Howard P. and Harriett A. (Wormstead) McAdoo. He was a United States Army veteran of the Korean War and worked for more than 30 years as a Civil Engineer with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts building highways and bridges ultimately attaining the position of 2nd highest person in charge of all Public Works Projects in Massachusetts.

I use my smartphone primarily for texting and talking but need some data for checking my email and a few other things when I’m away from Wi-Fi. Right now, I pay $30 per month but am looking for a better deal. Senior Scrimper Dear Scrimper, There are several super cheap wirelesses providers I can recommend for older smartphone users who are looking to save money by paring down their cell phone plan. Here are three of the cheapest options available that you can switch to without sacrifi cing the quality of your service. Cheapest Wireless Plans For extremely light smartphone data users, the very cheapest wireless plan available today is through Tello (Tello.com), which lets you build your own plan based on your needs or budget. For as little as $6 per month you can get unlimited texting, 100 minutes of talk time and 500 megabytes (MB) of high-speed data. Increases in talk time or data can be added in $1 increments. Tello uses the T-Mobile Saugus Knights of Columbus 57 Appleton Street, Saugus Indoor Flea Market Saturday, April 2 and April 9 8:00 - 4:00 Great deals will be available on collectibles, gifts, Sip & Shop network and gives you the option to bring your existing phone or purchase a new device, while keeping your same phone number if you wish. If you want to keep your phone, it must be unlocked. Just enter your phone’s ID (press *#06# on your keypad to get it) on Tello’s website to make sure that it’s compatible with the network. Another super cheap plan to consider is the annual prepaid plan offered through Boost Mobile (BoostMobile.com). For only $100 per year (or $8.33 per month) this plan provides unlimited talk, text and 1 gigabyte (GB) of 5G or 4G data each month. If you need more data, their $150 annual plan (or $12.50/month) gets you 5 GB. Boost Mobile uses the T-Mobile and AT&T networks and lets you use your existing phone (if compatible) or buy a new one. And a third option to look into is Mint Mobile (MintMobile.com), which is recommended by Consumer Reports and has one of the best values for a cheap plan. Mint offers a $15 per month plan (plus taxes & fees) that provides unlimited talk and text, and 4 GB of 5G/4G data each month. They too use the T-Mobile network and will let you use your existing phone (if compatible) or buy a new one. Lifeline Program If your income is low enough, another option you should check into is the Lifeline Assistance Program. This is a federal program that provides a $9.25 monthly subsidy that could go towards your phone or internet service. To qualify, you’ll need to show that you’re receiving certain types of government benefits such as Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), SSI, public housing assistance, veterans’ pension and survivors’ benefit, or live on federally recognized Tribal lands. Or, if your annual household income is at or below 135 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines – $17,388 for one person, or $23,517 for two – you’re also eligible. To check your eligibility or apply, visit LifelineSupport.org. If you do qualify, contact a wireless provider in your area that participates in the Lifeline program and sign up for service with them. You can also ask your current company to apply your Lifeline benefit to a service you are already getting, if it offers the benefit. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

It purchases all donuts from Kane’s Donuts. Paul Delios alleged that “The Gang of Four’s efforts began” last August after he off ered to sell his interests in the Companies to them. Paul said he offered up his interests for $1 million. “After originally accepting Paul’s off er, the Gang of Four reversed course,” the lawsuit alleged. “Since he withdrew his off er, the Gang of Four has done what they could to push Paul out of the businesses. In breach of their fi duciary duties the Individual Defendants amended the Companies’ operating agreements to impair Paul’s voting power while increasing their own, reduced Paul’s salary, made misrepresentations that caused Paul to be investigated for wrongdoing (of which he was cleared), threatened to terminate his role as President of the Companies, and otherwise advanced their interests at Paul’s expense.” In court papers, Delios repeatedly describes siblings as unfi t to run the family business. “In September 2021, they voted to restrict Mr. Delios’ powers as President and CEO by appointing Maria to review all bills the Companies received before they were paid. In November 2021, they voted to elect Maria as ‘Manager’ of Kane’s Donuts and to elect Peter, Jr. as ‘Manager’ of Kane’s Ventures and Kane’s Donuts, notwithstanding the fact that Company accountants criticized both for being unable to balance a checkbook,” Delios said. “With their new-found power, Maria and Peter voted to increase the weekly ownership distributions being paid to Stephen and Catherine from $600.00 to $700.00 a week, and to begin paying themselves $2,000.00 per week as salary. To fund those changes, Maria and Peter also voted to further reduce Mr. Delios’ salary from $2,200.00 to $2,000.00 per week and to cease paying ownership on in the 1944 fi lm “National Velvet”? 8.

In her brief role as the Companies’ social media head, Maria decreased the Companies’ usual growth in Instagram followers by fi fty percent (50%).” “Peter, Jr. would fare no better. He has never built or managed a budget for the Companies, created a work schedule, or conducted employee training. Peter, Jr. could hardly fi ll a managerial role in a single store, much less run all operations for three Companies with more than $8 million in annual sales. “Stephen has already been fired from the Companies for sexual harassment after eight employees complained about Stephen’s sexually inappropriate and harassing behavior.

With little knowledge of the Companies’ daily operations, she could not eff ectively run them.” The lawsuit notes that Peter Delios, Sr., Paul’s father, purchased Kane’s – a 65-year-old brand – in 1988. Paul worked under his father’s leadership from 1988 until 1995. In 1990, while working at Kane’s, Paul launched a successful catering company. He later opened two nationally-recognized restaurants in Charlestown, Mass. “Paul’s experiences establishing and growing these businesses—which he continued to run even after taking over for his father—served him well in future years,” the lawsuit continued. “From 1988 until 2007, Paul’s mother was responsible for Kane’s fi nancials. In 2007, Paul’s mother asked him to take over Kane’s financial matters. Later that year, Paul’s father stepped down from his leadership role in the Companies and selected Paul to take over as President and CEO, a position that Paul has held ever since.” ANSWERS 1.

Congratulations to Joe Alba for making the right identifi cation in last week’s “Guess Who got Sketched!” Contest. He was one of several readers answering correctly, and the one who had his name selected from the green Boston Red Sox cap. Here’s the correct answer, off ered by the person who goes by the name of The Sketch Artist: “The answer to last week’s sketch is League Wrestler of the Year Senior Captain Chase Ledbury! Chase is a high achieving athlete & wrestler who won 100 matches and won the fi nal dual meet of the season against NEC/CAL. “Senior’s Chase, Christian Machado & Junior Will Pinto all NEC /Cal Champions received a ‘Shout Out’ by fans in The Saugus Advocate 2/25 page 17. Congratulations! “Chase is known for being a natural leader, encouraging & motivating kids to participate in sports. He has helped many join cross Country running, strengthening & enriching their lives in the process. “While Sketching Chase Ledbury, it was my aim to capture his determination & his high achiever stance. Like others, I was deeply inspired by Chase. “Sports Reporter Greg Phipps for “Saugus Advocate Sports” (2/25/22 page 12) wrote a full page article on Chase. In Greg’s article, he quotes the Saugus Head Coach Wayne Moda stating the following about Chase: ‘He puts 100 percent into everything he does. He is a Natural Leader and has been an amazing mentor to the rest of the Team’ and Greg Phipps quotes Chase about his family. ‘They have been by my side every step of the way and it has allowed us to spend lots of time together.’ “Editor Mark E. Vogler interviewed Chase in “The Advocate Asks” (10/12/2018). And Chase praised his CONTEST SKETCH OF THE WEEK parents, Pamela and Todd and how they are beside him cheering him on! “He continues freely giving credit to where credit is due! Reporters got their eye out for this humble Student as he stands out amidst all his accomplishments; but never too busy for a community outreach. In November, he compassionately handed out Turkeys & food at Thanksgiving’s Saugus Food Pantry! “Chase has a track record as a rising star and we are sure to see him in future papers & media attaining future goals! “He signed his letter of intention to attend Trinity College in Conn. A star that shines brightly and into other’s paths gently guiding & assisting where needed! “Thank you, wishing you much success! “Yours Truly, The Sketch Artist” A Shout-Out to Saugus United 2035 We didn’t receive any nominations this week from readers who wanted to publicly acknowledge positive contributions from residents which lead to the betterment of their community. Using my editorial prerogative, I nominate all of those citizens who aren’t getting paid by the town who have already participated in the crafting of the town’s updated Master Plan, which is also known as “Saugus United 2035.” And hats off , as well, to those citizens who will take the time to link into next Wednesday’s (March 16) Zoom videoconferencing session that will involve the fi nal Master Plan draft presentation at 6 p.m. See the related story in this week’s edition for more details. Any citizen who volunteers their time to propose components of the new Master Plan or comment on the various drafts is demonstrating his or her concerns about the future roadmap for the town, at least through the year 2035. That shows you care greatly about your community. Hopefully, it’s the kind of care that’s contagious and clean to the betterment of your community. More than a year ago, some 700 town residents actually took the time to respond to a survey conducted by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), which has been working as the town’s consultant in drafting the Master Plan. That’s great citizen participation – the kind that can lead to positive results as the town approaches the fi nal stages of adopting an important document that will guide into the future. Want to “Shout-Out” a fellow Saugonian? This is an opportunity for our paper’s readers to single out – in a brief mention – remarkable acts or achievements by Saugus residents or an act of kindness or a nice gesture. Just send an email (mvoge@ comcast.net) with a mention in the subject line of “An Extra Shout-Out.” No more than a paragraph; anything longer might lend itself to a story and/or a photo.

See our website for registration links or follow the links below: Tuesday, March 29, at 7 p.m.: author Neal Thompson will discuss his new book, “The First Kennedys: The Humble Roots of an American Dynasty.” The fi rst American Kennedys – Patrick and Bridget – arrived as many thousands of others did following the Great Famine in Ireland – penniless and hungry. Patrick’s sudden death left Bridget to raise their children single-handedly. Her rise from housemaid to shop owner in the face of rampant poverty and discrimination kept her family intact, allowing her only son, P.J., to become a successful saloon owner and businessman. P.J. went on to become the fi rst American Kennedy elected to public offi ce – the fi rst of many. Neal Thompson is a former newspaper reporter and the author of fi ve highly acclaimed books.

The Lique Human Services Scholarship will be awarded to two seniors who attend one of the eight high schools located in GLSS’ service area of Lynn, Lynnfi eld, Nahant, Saugus and Swampscott. The scholarship is named in memory of Vince Lique, the Agency’s long-time Executive Director, who devoted his career to helping others, particularly vulnerable senior citizens and people of all ages with disabilities, demanding that all people be treated with dignity and respect. “Vince’s legacy is fi rmly rooted in his compassion for people. He measured success by the quality of his service to and advocacy for others,” said Kathryn C. Burns, MHA, GLSS’ Chief Executive Offi cer. “I believe in Vince’s theory that one’s individual success is directly related to the benefi ts received by those around us.

The food pantry is located in the basement of the Cliftondale Congregational Church at 50 Essex St. in Saugus. Clarifying some veterans’ issues Jay Pinette, the Veterans Services Offi cer for the Town of Saugus, wanted to pass along a few words to promote a better understanding of how his offi ce works. “Veterans Service Officers (VSOs) are not VA employees and do not have direct access to VA systems or information,” Jay wrote in an email to us. “Local VSOs are employees of their respective cities and towns. VSOs are generally able to assist veterans and eligible dependents with VA-related claims and benefi ts activities. “One of the primary duties of the VSOs is to administer a program for veterans and eligible dependents that is referred to as ‘Chapter 115’. Under Chapter 115 of Massachusetts General Laws (M.G.L. CH. 115), the Commonwealth provides a uniform program of fi nancial assistance for low income veterans and their dependents. Qualifi ed veterans and their dependents who meet the income and asset eligibility criteria may receive monthly fi nancial benefi ts that are intended to assist the veteran with housing and living expenses. “If local Veterans wish to enroll in VA healthcare and/or obtain a VA ID card, representatives from the VA Bedford will be on-site at the Lynn VA Clinic twice a month. The on-site enrollment will be held on the 1 st and 3 rd Tuesday of each month from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Appointments are advised and the dates and times are subject to change. The Lynn VA Clinic is located at 225 Boston Street, Suite 107. For more information or to schedule an appointment for enrollment, call 781-687-3348 or e-mail vabedoutreach@va.gov. “The Veterans Services Offices of Saugus and other surrounding communities have partnered with the Greater Boston Food Bank to hold monthly mobile food markets for veterans. With the closure of the Saugus Senior Center during the pandemic, the food market was moved to Melrose. We have now moved the food market back to the Saugus Senior Center. The veterans mobile food market is held on the third Wednesday of each month. Veterans and eligible dependents must sign up with the Saugus Veterans Service Offi ce to determine eligibility. VSO Jay Pinette can be reached at 781231-4010 or at jpinette@saugus-ma.gov. Or on the fi rst fl oor of Saugus Town Hall at 298 Central Street, Saugus MA 01906.” ASKS | FROM PAGE 9 And for the best part of my career, from 2008 on, I was assigned to the FBI Boston Violent Crimes Task Force. It was very eye-opening, seeing and working with law enforcement at the federal level – extortion, kickbacks and bank robberies, crimes on the high seas, crimes on airplanes. Working with them was just another opportunity to work on another side of law enforcement. They did great work and they were great partners – like my second family, as with my Police Department. Everybody that I worked with was very professional in what they did. I have no regrets. Attention veterans and surviving spouses Q: What is Chapter 115? A: Under Chapter 115 of Massachusetts General Laws (M.G.L. Ch. 115), the Commonwealth provides a uniform program of financial and medical assistance for veterans and their dependents. Qualifying veterans and their dependents receive necessary fi nancial assistance in accordance with a formula that considers the number of dependents and income from all sources. Q: How do I fi nd out if I’m eligible? A: By contacting the Veterans Services Offi cer in the town you live in. Here in Saugus, the Veterans’ Services Offi ce is located at the Saugus Town Hall and may be reached at 781-231-4010. Eligible veterans and/or their family members must meet certain income criteria, and their military experience must meet the Commonwealth’s requirements. The Current Income Limit for single people is $2,147.00 – and $2,904.00 for married people. The Current Asset Limit for single people is $8400.00 – and $16,600.00 for married people. Assets do not include your home or vehicle. Q: Are these benefi ts taxable? A: Chapter 115 benefi ts are not taxable income. You must report this income when applying for or renewing subsidized housing applications, Section 8 applications and SNAP applications. A smoke alarm alert for seniors The state Fire Marshal’s Offi ce has launched a new Public Service Announcement (PSA) campaign that is geared toward encouraging smoke alarm awareness among senior citizens – the people who are at greater risk of dying in a fi re. And this should be of particular interest to Saugus residents who may recall the house fi re that killed two elderly people on Richard Street last July. Fire investigators found no evidence of smoke alarms or carbon monoxide alarms in the home, The “Dear Grandma / Querida Abuela” PSA campaign began this month on television and radio stations in the Boston, Worcester and Springfield media markets. Recorded in both English and Spanish, it features a granddaughter writing a letter to her grandmother about all the things she looks forward to doing together, interspersed with messages about the importance of having working smoke alarms and replacing alarms after 10 years. “In Massachusetts and nationwide, people over 65 have a disproportionately high risk of dying in a fi re,” state Fire Marshal Peter J. Ostroskey said in a press release. “Everyone should have working smoke alarms in their homes, but we developed this PSA to reach older adults in particular because of the higher statistical risk they face. Installing smoke alarms on every fl oor of the home, checking them If you don’t like this job and hate it, leave and go someplace else. Because your job is basically to help people. Unfortunately, we have to do things sometimes that people don’t like. Nobody likes to hear a knock on the door from police offi cers. But we’re there to help, whether it’s a missing child, somebody with Alzheimer’s who is out walking around – your job is to go out there and help bring them back. If somebody gets hurt, you provide fi rst aid. You help. Those are the good sides of what we do. Unfortunately, that doesn’t make the papers that often. It’s always the negative. But thank you for giving me a chance to share something about my fi eld. It’s been a rewarding profession, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. Q: Is there a case or arrest that’s career-defi ning for you – something you will be telling your grandchildren about some day? A: I guess it would be that case involving the person who assaulted several girls. I put in a lot of work with the State Police and the forensic team. The School Department helped me. The fact that I was able to help these young girls – and to this day nobody knows who they are; I will never say who they were. Some of them still live in this community and some of them don’t. But I was able regularly, and replacing them after 10 years can dramatically reduce that risk.” Nationwide, about 60 percent of fatal fi res occur in homes without working smoke alarms. And in Massachusetts, people 65 and older comprise about 17 percent of the population but about 50 percent of last year’s fatal fi re victims. “Working smoke alarms are often the fi rst line of defense against injury and tragedy in a fi re,” Ostroskey said. “We invite our partners in the fire service, family members, caregivers, and social service providers to share these PSAs and emphasize the importance of working smoke alarms, especially among seniors.” Last year when Louis Gallo, 78, and his sister Rosemarie Naples, 80, died in a three-alarm house fi re on Richard Street, fi re offi cials stressed that working smoke alarms in your home can double your chances of survival if a fi re occurs. Home fi re deaths have been cut in half since the early 1970s, when smoke alarms were fi rst marketed, and about 40 percent of fi re deaths in the United States take place in the four percent of homes without smoke alarms. People should install smoke alarms throughout their home, test them monthly and replace the batteries when they change their clocks. If your smoke alarm is more than 10 years old, it should be replaced, according to fi re offi cials. The PSAs are available for distribution through the Department of Fire Services (DFS). They can be downloaded at the DFS webpage and can be linked or shared from the DFS YouTube channel. They complement the DFS Senior SAFE program, which provides grant funding for local fi re departments to provide fi re and life safety education for older adults. Let’s hear it! Got an idea, passing thought or gripe you would like to share with The Saugus Advocate? I’m always interested in your feedback. It’s been six years since I began work at The Saugus Advocate. I’m always interested in hearing readers’ suggestions for possible stories or good candidates for “The Advocate Asks” interview of the week. Feel free to email me at mvoge@comcast.net. Do you have some interesting views on an issue that you want to express to the community? Submit your idea. If I like it, we can meet for a 15- to 20-minute interview over a hot drink at a local coffee shop. And I’ll buy the coff ee or tea. Or, if you prefer to continue practicing social distancing and be interviewed from the safety of your home on the phone or via email, I will provide that option to you as the nation recovers from the Coronavirus crisis. If it’s a nice day and the temperature is 50 degrees or better, my preferred site for a coff ee and interview would be the picnic area of the Saugus Iron Works. to talk to them in full confidence and help them, and I think I made everybody comfortable talking to them because I could relate to them. And I think that was the best asset for me as a cop: being able to relate to somebody’s human side and make them feel comfortable. And I think they knew that I cared. And now we have a full-time sexual assault offi cer – Stacey Forni. Q: Do you have a hero or idol you look up to? Maybe nationally or locally? A: I would say, almost all of the other officers I worked with; they all did something great and made me think, “That’s really nice.” But on a personal side? Probably my grandparents. My grandparents, by no means, had any money at all. But they always, always, always pounded in my head, “You know what, everybody’s nice. Everybody deserves a break.” You could always go to their house at meal time, and they would add a little more water to the soup. They never sent anybody away. If somebody needed a helping hand, they would always be there. And then there’s my wife, throughout it all, working diligently with special needs kids for 20 years. That’s just got to be heart-wrenching, but she was always there to help those kids. And now my kids are doing the same thing – helping people. And I’m very proud of them.
THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2022 Page 23 Save the Harbor/Save the Bay hosts Shamrock Splash at Constitution Beach O n Sunday, March 6 at noon, more than 150 Shamrock Splashers hit the cold, clean water at Constitution Beach in East Boston and raised more than $50,000 to support Save the Harbor/Save the Bay’s “Better Beaches” program partnership with the state Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR). Proceeds from this year’s Shamrock Splash will be invested in free “Better Beaches” events and programs on public beaches in Nahant, Lynn, Revere, Winthrop, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy and Hull. “It was great to splash in East Boston this year,” said Save the Harbor/Save the Bay’s Executive Director, Chris Mancini. “Thanks to Representative Madaro and Senator Edwards and all our friends and partners for making everyone feel so welcome at Constitution Beach.” Mancini thanked their program partners and event sponsors, including Arctic Chill and Harpoon Brewery, JetBlue, FMC Ice Sports, P&G Gillette, National Grid, Coast Cannabis, The Daily Catch, Comcast, Mix 104.1, The Blue Sky Collaborative, Boston & Maine Webcams, BostonHarbor.com, The Boston Foundation and the Richard Saltonstall Charitable Foundation. Mancini also thanked Metropolitan Beaches Commission (MBC) Co-Chairs State Senator Brendan Crighton of Lynn and State Representative Adrian Madaro of East Boston and the MBC legislative and community members as well as Senate President Karen Spilka and House Speaker Ron Mariano for their support for the metropolitan region’s beaches and communities. They also thanked the Baker-Polito Administration, the Massachusetts Legislature, their partners at DCR, the Boston Centers for Youth & Families, the YMCA of Greater Boston and the hundreds of people who took part in the Shamrock Splash for their support. This year’s participants won prizes for biggest fundraiser and best costumes, including fl ights on JetBlue and great swag from Harpoon Brewery, and enjoyed quesadillas, chowder, Arctic Chill Hard Seltzer and Harpoon after their splash.

OFFSHORE WIND INDUSTRY (H 4515) House 133-12, approved and sent to the Senate a bill to further develop and expand the offshore wind industry in Massachusetts. Provisions include investing hundreds of millions of dollars over the next decade in infrastructure, innovation, job training, supply chain capacity and transmission upgrades; providing job training, tax incentives, grants and loans; investing in longterm energy storage to help the state’s transition to renewable energy; and implementing a new charge that would add an estimated $1.37 to the average gas customer’s monthly bill to raise an estimated $23 million in new revenue that would be used to fund the programs, tax incentives and grants. “I am thrilled that today the House passed legislation crucial to the development of a strong offshore wind industry in Massachusetts,” said Representative Jeff Roy (D-Franklin), House chair of the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy. “Massachusetts waters have the greatest offshore wind potential out of the contiguous U.S. and this legislation will ensure that the commonwealth is prepared to harness that energy while also creating a just and robust local economy, educational opportunities for our residents and critical upgrades to our energy infrastructure without causing undue harm to our coastal habitats or maritime industries.” “I’m immensely proud of the steps that the House took today to ensure Massachusetts remains at the forefront of renewable energy development,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “Not only will this legislation help us reduce our carbon emissions and combat climate change, it will also spur economic development, modernize our energy infrastructure and create thousands of new jobs in the process.” “While I completely agree that we need to do something about encouraging clean energy and offshore wind development, I think we could have found the funds in the current budget and not put the costs on the ratepayers,” said Rep. Colleen Garry (D-Dracut), the only Democrat to vote against the measure. “It is the economically challenged folks who can’t afford the major rehabs of older homes to save on gas and electric heating costs who will get hit with these charges. I believe this is definitely not the time to be adding more costs to homeowners with inflation and a slow economic recovery from the pandemic.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Donald Wong Yes ELIMINATE THE ESTIMATED $1.37 PER CUSTOMER CHARGE TO FUND TAX CREDITS AND JOB TRAINING (H 4515) House 28-127, rejected an amendment that would eliminate a new charge that would add an estimated $1.37 to the average gas customer’s monthly bill. The estimated $23 million in new revenue would be used to fund training programs, tax credits and incentives for companies. “This would amount to about a two percent increase in a natural gas user’s bill each month,” said amendment sponsor Kelly Pease (R-Westfield). “It does not sound like a lot, but during these inflationary times and with gas and oil prices going out of control due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is not the time to raise rates on the people of the commonwealth. The critics of the amendment said it would get rid of the trust fund which would do away with job training and tax credits as well. This is true. By removing the funding it would eliminate those parts of the bill, but I believe that given the commonwealth is very financially strong that the trust fund and programs should be paid for out of existing state funds and not be putting the burden onto the citizens of Massachusetts by adding a rate increase to their monthly bills.” Rep Jeff Roy (D-Franklin), House Chair of the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy, said that the amendment seeks to strike the meat and potatoes from all of the elements that will strengthen this industry. “The amendment would have eliminated provisions of the bill that make crucial investments into offshore wind and other clean energy technologies,” said Roy. “Massachusetts stands to BHRC | SEE PAGE 25

A “No” vote for the fee.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No Rep. Donald Wong Yes FREE MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS (H 2730) Senate 40-0 approved and sent to the House a bill that would require primary and secondary schools, homeless shelters and prisons to provide free disposable menstrual products in a convenient and non-stigmatizing way. “That we considered this bill today is a result of the leadership of so many young people, particularly high school students across the state, from Brookline to Belchertown,” said sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “Once you start thinking about it, the need seems obvious. As the menstrual equity coalition says, ‘non-menstruating people go into a bathroom expecting their basic bodily needs to be met—this is not the case for menstruators.’ This is now being seen as an issue because new generations are saying words out loud that used to be hidden by euphemisms, and they’re talking about needs that were unrecognized because they weren’t named.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill).

Brendan Crighton Yes PREGNANT AND POST PARTUM MOTHERS (H 2731) SELLER2 ADDRESS 4 Altamount Ave 11 Alder St CITY DATE PRICE 18.02.2022 $485 000,00 15.02.2022 $850 000,00 Senate 40-0, approved and sent to the House legislation designed to ensure that pregnant and postpartum mothers get necessary and potentially life-saving health care by extending MassHealth insurance coverage to 12 months after pregnancy. MassHealth is the state’s Medicaid program that provides health care for low-income and disabled persons.. “Today, the Massachusetts Senate has taken another step to combat inequities in maternal health,” said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “By extending postpartum healthcare coverage to a full year, birthing individuals will be able to access vital physical and behavioral health resources that will decrease mortality and severe morbidity and improve the overall health of parent and child, especially for our minority populations.” Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) said, “The danger of dying during pregnancy or childbirth is still far too high in the United States, particularly for Black women, but the Senate is committed to conThe COVID-19 Update Town reports 13 newly confi rmed cases over the past seven days; no new deaths By Mark E. Vogler T here was good news to report on the town’s COVID-19 battle front this week. Nobody died from the disease that is already linked to 106 deaths in Saugus since the outbreak of the global pandemic in March of 2020. Meanwhile, the number of confi rmed cases dropped from 20 last week to 13 over the past seven days through yesterday (Thursday, March 10), according to Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree. The latest case numbers reported to the town by the state Department of Public Health (DPH) increased the overall total to 8,592 confi rmed cases, according to Crabtree. The state DPH reported that six town residents had died last week, increasing the overall total to 106 deaths. “Our hearts and prayers go out to those families affected by this health pandemic,” Crabtree said. Meanwhile, Saugus Public Schools experienced a slight reduction of cases in its four buildings, going from nine cases (Feb. 17-March 2) to seven cases (March 3-9). This week, there were no cases in the High School, one in the Middle School, two in the Belmonte STEAM Academy and four in the Veterans Early Learning Center.

Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible latenight sessions immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of February 28-March 4, the House met for a total of six hours and 24 minutes and the Senate met for a total of four minutes and 28 minutes. Mon. Feb. 28 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:13 a.m. Senate 11:00 a.m. to 11:36 a.m. Tues. March 1 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:40 a.m. No Senate session Wed. March 2 No House session No Senate session Thurs.
