THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 2023 Page 5 ADVOCATE ASKS | FROM PAGE 3 Q: How many pairs of shoes do you go through during the course of a year? A: Three to four pairs. Q: Do you have any personal connection to the Boston Marathon bombings? Like, lost a friend or relative? A: I do not. Q: What cause will you be running for this year? If you are running for a charity. A: As I previously mentioned, I’ll be running for the TB12 Foundation. This foundation’s purpose is highlighted in their mission statement, as they “help at-risk athletes access the practitioners and programming they need — including pliability treatments, functional strength & conditioning, and advice related to nutrition, hydration, and cognitive health — to overcome injuries or obstacles that would otherwise keep them sidelined.” It’s a really noble and important foundation. What the TB12 method and foundation preaches is second to none. It provides tools and resources to those who are most “atrisk,” whether it be for the underprivileged, military, fi rst responders, or others who have been through trauma, physically and mentally.

A: Defi nitely, after the tragedy of 2013, the next year the race was still held. This really showed how the spirit of Boston, America and even the world can be unbreakable.

Vogler) CLEARING | FROM PAGE 2 This monitoring program began in 2011 as a result of a settlement between the Attorney General’s office and the WIN Waste Innovations Saugus facility, according to the report. “Since July 2011, Tech has worked for the town as an independent third-party reviewer,” it noted. “Over the past eleven (11) years, Tech has visited WS extensively, conducted fi le reviews at the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), and reviewed reports in order to investigate and report on facility compliance. Tech’s review is particularly related to air quality concerns, the landfi ll ash and cover material and the impact of facility emissions upon public health, since we understand that these are areas of great concern for the town.” Among the highlights of the Tech Environmental report: • Recent inspections of the ash landfi ll handling capability at WIN by the MassDEP and Tech have found that the area is well maintained and well-sealed and that the ash is not being released into the atmosphere. WIN has continued on a series of improvement projects, designed to reduce the environmental impact of the facility and allay any fears of people in the community. • WIN has been diligent in reporting any concerns to the MassDEP:, the Saugus Board of Health and Tech, so the concerned parties can obtain information in a timely manner. • Inspections reveal the ash landfill was being properly operated and maintained and that the ash being disposed of in the landfi ll had an operational cover. • The facility was in compliance with emissions limits for NOx and that the operating parameters were also in compliance. $9,900 Easy Financing Available!
