Vogler S augus is eager to lay the groundwork for becoming a host community for marijuana retail shops, a move that offi cials believe could tap into a lucrative revenue stream for the town. Board of Selectmen Chair Anthony Cogliano said this week that at least a dozen potential companies have already contacted him or other town offi - cials with an interest in locating here. “I will be scheduling a meeting with the town manager [Scott C. Crabtree] and town counsel [John Vasapolli] as to how we will proceed,” Cogliano said in an interview this week. “This is an S-2 permit granted by the Board of Selectmen, so we will be involved in all discussions with potential owners,” he said.

(See related story.) It was supposed to be a chance for company offi cials to introduce themselves to the Saugus community and answer questions from residents. But the session last week (June 30) only drew interest from the Board of Selectmen. And most of them were reluctant to ask questions because they didn’t think the public was fully informed about the meeting. Cogliano, who moderated the session, stressed that it was not an offi cial meeting sanctioned by the town and would not fi gure into any decision PERMITS | SEE PAGE 2 Prices subject to change Ask about our Heating Oil Conditioner! FLEET

PERMITS | FROM PAGE 1 Page 2 as to whether Bostica LLC obtains an S-2 permit from the town. Selectmen really can’t do anything, he said, pending the approval by the state Attorney General’s Offi ce of a warrant article passed by this year’s Annual Town Meeting THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 to allow for marijuana establishments in town. Once the town receives clearance from the state that the warrant article is constitutional, then selectmen can proceed with a yet-to-be-determined process for selecting companies that can sell marijuana products in town. Cogliano described it as “kind of like a bidding thing,” where companies would submit their applications, and selectmen would weigh the pros and cons of each application, picking the company with a plan that best fi ts Saugus. Selectmen would schedule public hearings on each of the proposals submitted to the town and then make a decision on which companies would benefi t the Town of Saugus more, according to Cogliano, who said he was impressed with Bostica’s presentation last week. “Had you not been at Town Meeting, I don’t think we’d be here tonight,” Cogliano told Jonathan Capano, an attorney and Saugus resident who has been working with the cannabis industry since 2017. “Your presentation is going to set the bar high for anyone else who applies,” Cogliano said. “We’ve got a long way to go,” Cogliano said, stressing that Saugus is really in the beginning stages of the process to become a host community for marijuana retail business. Capano, who is chief compliance officer for Bostica, attended the May 23 Town Meeting session at the request of Cogliano to address Town Meeting members about the lucrative benefi ts reaped by communities that have accepted the sale of recreational marijuana. Town Meeting voted 33-13 in favor of the article initiated by Cogliano to allow for marijuana establishments in town. The following conditions apply for marijuana establishments within the Business Highway Sustainable Development Zoning District (BHSD). The amended version of the approved regulations states that marijuana establishments: • May not be located within 1,000 feet of a preexisting public or private school providing education in kindergarten or any grades 1 through 12. The buff er zone distance shall be measured along the shortest publicly accessible pedestrian travel path from the Marijuana Establishment entrance to the school entrance. • May not be located within 1,000 feet of a park or playground. The buff er zone distance shall be measured along the shortest publicly accessible pedestrian travel path from the Marijuana Establishment entrance to the park or playground. • May not be located within 1,000 feet of each other. • May not be located in buildings that contain any residential units, including transitional housing, such as hotels, motels and dormitories. Pot Presentation by Bostica Lynn-based marijuana manufacturer briefs selectmen on what it would be like if they open a Route 1 shop By Mark E. Vogler B oard of Selectmen Chair Anthony Cogliano was apologetic as he talked to his colleagues last week (June 30) during a remote meeting with representatives of an area company that wants to open up a marijuana retail shop on Route 1 in Saugus. “This is as green to me as it is to the rest of the board,” Cogliano said as he moderated his fi rst “virtual outreach meeting” with a company that hopes to locate here. “This is the beginning of a long proceeding,” Cogliano said. Only seven people joined Cogliano during the remote proceeding, in which Bostica LLC introduced itself to Saugus, laid out its plans and offered to answer any questions to inquiring residents. Nobody showed up except four selectmen, this reporter and Bostica representatives. Jonathan Capano, chief compliance officer for the Lynn-based Bostica, said the meeting satisfi ed an applicant’s requirement of the Cannabis Control Commission. But he added that the company would be glad to hold future meetings so Saugus residents can learn more about their company. “We have to speak to all of the abutters within 300 feet” (of the proposed location at 44 Broadway, Unit A, near Oye’s Chinese Restaurant). Selectmen said they didn’t feel comfortable asking questions about Bostica, given the situation that no members from the public attended the session. “This is our fi rst step forward,” Capano told selectmen. “This is a private business hosting a community meeting,” he said. At that point, Selectman Jeffrey Cicolini told Capano, “Unfortunately, it’s not a community meeting.” “There won’t be a dialogue by anybody other than the Board of Selectmen,” he said.

A meeting between the Board of Health’s Landfi ll Subcommittee and WIN Waste offi cials has been set for July 27 at 7 p.m. in the second fl oor auditorium at Saugus Town Hall, according to Board of Selectmen Chair Anthony Cogliano, who co-chairs the panel with Board of Health Chair William Heffernan. This is a rescheduling of the meeting that was originally planned for February, but was postponed indefinitely until the board was operating at full strength. Selectmen at their May 3 meeting voted 4-0 to approve Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree’s appointment of Anthony J. Bakopolus, DMD to fi ll the seat relinquished by former Committee Vice Chair Shawn Ayube when he moved away from Saugus last year. The seat had been vacant for around a year.

Competitive prices on all Brands, Great Selection committee, which in recent months has been referred to as the Landfi ll Committee, was created by the Board of Health in late 2020 to promote a better working relationship with WIN Waste (formerly Wheelabrator) on issues related to the incinerator and ash landfi ll. A main focus of the committee members over the past year has been the development of a new host agreement that addresses a wide range of health, safety, environmental and community issues. These are key issues that members want to see as part of the agreement: • All members agree health is most important, and company offi cials should verify they are doing all they can to make sure everyone is safe in Saugus and surrounding communities. • The Committee would like to look into a program like Massport with Winthrop with the noise issue there. • Continued testing for the public safety, continue to work with the committee, striving as much as possible for clean, quality air coming out of the stacks while lowering noise levels and testing what is in the ash.

Vogler P recinct 2 Town Meeting Member Robert J. Camuso, Sr. says police and town offi cials need to do a better job in confronting unruly kids who have been terrorizing drivers and pedestrians on town streets recently. “Sadly, Saugus hasn’t stepped up to address it more aggressively to try to correct these few punks,” Camuso wrote in a text to The Saugus Advocate. It was Camuso who last year lobbied selectmen to take action in response to incidents involving kids on bicycles putting the public at risk and creating potentially dangerous situations. “The selectmen were supposed to follow up with the Peabody Police Department on how they are dealing with the same situation,” Camuso said. “Peabody is having the kids’ bikes towed to the police station for parents to pick up & giving them a violation that increases every time for repeat off enders,” he said. “So, parents who think the community is their babysitter get a towing bill, violation to pay every time their child is caught doing reckless acts. These kids ride their minibikes on the bike path with their group of bicyclists that’s been causing headaches in Saugus,” Camuso said. “Parents need to be parents and discipline some of their kids from right & wrongs. It’s been pretty bad in some areas of Saugus the disrespect from some of these kids towards the seniors is terrible with their foul language to observe jesters. Saugus needs to address this quickly & make an example that residents have had enough of these kids with the reckless acts in our streets & playgrounds.”

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 ~ The Advocate Asks ~ Page 5 Saugus Dog Park Committee leaders update on park status as members research logistics and possible locations for dog owners to walk their pets Editor’s Note: For this week’s interview, we decided to get an update from the leadership of the Saugus Dog Park Committee. We approached Committee Chair Jeff rey Cicolini, who is also a selectman, and ViceChair Joe Vecchione, who is also a member of the annual Town Meeting and the Planning Board. Here’s what they had to say: J eff rey Cicolini: As for the dog park, although it is still in its infancy stages of planning, we have done a lot of leg work for the vision and potential location of the park. We plan to apply for foundation grants to pay for the large majority of the construction and maintenance costs. We surveyed several parks in town and although we currently feel that Stocker meets many of the criteria we would look for, it isn’t etched in stone. To be clear, if we were to move forward with Stocker it would still remain a TBall park; we would upgrade the playing fi eld, dugouts, backstop and the playground equipment. The plan would be to leave one fi eld for TBall and use one of the fi elds for the large dog park area, and the dilapidated tennis and basketball courts would be repurposed to serve as the small/ medium size dog area. As I said, this is still in the research phase, so I don’t want to put the cart before the horse. Stocker is a great location as it is off the main road area, it is surrounded by few homes that would be impacted and the current park is in pretty rough shape and in need of significant repairs and renovations. I coached down there for several years and very rarely are both fi elds used at the same time, and the mosquitoes were always an issue being so close to the marsh. This could be a solution that solves many issues where people in town are constantly asking for a dog park and others who use the park currently complain how poor the conditions are down there. The plan is to lock in a location over the next several months and apply for the grants over the winter. If successful we would plan construction for 2023 and perhaps opening in the fall of 2023 or early 2024. The members of the committee are: Myself, Chair; Joe Vecchione, Vice Chair; Rick Lavoie, Ann Tesora; Julie Cicolini. We also have town meetDOG PARK COMMITTEE CHAIR JEFFREY CICOLINI: He is a dog owner and also a member of the Board of Selectmen. ing members who attend most meetings (Rick Smith and Rich Thompson). Joe Vecchione: We [the committee] have had several productive meetings thus far and would say that we are still in the due diligence and conceptual design phase of a process we anticipate to last until the end of the year when we would apply for a grant via the Stanton Foundation who has funded not only the design and construction, but also ongoing annual maintenance for various dog parks in our area including but not limited to Danvers, Peabody, Woburn, Medford, Burlington, and Arlington. Securing a grant would be the ultimate outcome that would be a winwin for the Town, the taxpayers and the thousands of dog owners within the community. Success of the grant application aside, a centrally located dog park in Saugus will be an incredible asset for Saugus especially given the limited open space where dogs are allowed DOG PARK COMMITTEE VICECHAIR JOE VECCHIONE: He’s involved because of his architectural expertise. He is also a Precinct 2 Town Meeting member and a member of the Planning Board. beyond private property. More information on the Stanton Foundation can be found here: https://thestantonfoundation. org/canine-welfare/dog-parks I’ll credit both Chairman Cicolini and committee member Rick Lavoie who both have brought the idea of a dog park to the forefront. I remember Mr. Lavoie speaking at the Selectmen’s forum in February of 2020 and Mr. Cicolini also buzzing about the idea of a dog park around the same time following the 2019 Election. While the ensuing pandemic caused an understandable gap in the immediate pursuit of a dog park, the formation of the committee earlier this year and the momentum we have gained since is very encouraging. The goal seems reachable and the desire for a dog park throughout town is audible. Mr. Lavoie has gained a lot of online support via the Dogs of Saugus Facebook page, a page dedicated to the many dog owners in town that has a reach of 1,700. The inclusion of a dog park in the recently adopted Master Plan was a welcomed sight and I hope the town follows many of the initiatives it off ers. The support for a dog park has been overwhelming, and given the lack of this desirable community resource, one which should be accessible to a critical mass of residents, I strongly believe that this has become a ‘need’ for our town. While not labeled as a “top priority” for Saugus, it’s important to understand that progress in town can happen at multiple different scales concurrently. Not everything needs to happen in a linear fashion or else nothing would get done in Saugus.

THE ADVOCATE ASK | FROM PAGE 5 Page 6 stagnant governmental body – with varying levels of success) I’ve shared with the committee the expertise I can off er as an architect to review the pros and cons of several town owned sites. This committee reviewed about a half dozen potential sites, careful to understand and be sensitive of the limitations, existing use(s), accessibility, scale, context, natural resources, availability of utilities, net impact, and suitability of these sites. We also reviewed the parameters required within the grant application so we can be competitive in the pursuit of the grant. Lastly, we’ve reached out to Town Meeting members, Town Counsel and the Town Manager to weigh in on our progress and the potential challenges, THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 but mostly trying to collaborate as that is key to the best fi nished product. We still have several steps left to go and we hope to collaborate further within the town’s channels including Conservation Commission, Parks and Recreation and the DPW. This eff ort is far from complete and it’s important to be thorough and look forward to this initial phase. While the site has not yet been identifi ed, as Chairman Cicolini has alluded to, as we have gone through the review of potential dog park sites, the site that stands out to the group is Stocker Park as it meets most of the necessary parameters that are needed for a dog park in town. It is underutilized, in need of repair, central to a critical mass of residents, has relatively few residential abutters, has ample parking, is town owned, has access to utilities, has ample natural sound buff ers (trees / elevation change), and has enough space to host a dog park with the preferred separation of large dogs and small dogs. While we are still a ways out from the fi nalization of a site, this site at the moment seems to make the most sense and part of our process will be to solicit feedback from residents to ensure that valid concerns are addressed and within the scope of what we’re trying to do. If Stocker is the site we choose, as I said, we look forward to working with neighbors, little league, and other users of the park to curate an area we can collectively be proud of and can utilize synchronously. I look forward to the next few months as they will be critical in ensuring the idea of a dog MAKING MADDIE HAPPY: This Saugus mini doodle — like most of the 1,405 dogs licensed in Saugus, can’t wait for the day when dog owners can take their pets to a local dog park.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 Page 7 Senior Advocacy Groups Urge Passage of Baker-Polito Tax Cuts to Support Older Adults B OSTON — Last week, several advocacy organizations representing older adults in Massachusetts urged passage of the Baker-Polito Administration’s comprehensive tax relief plan. The Administration’s proposal would provide $700 million in tax relief to support those most impacted by rising prices and inflation, such as seniors on fi xed incomes, renters and residents who care for older adults or children. State tax revenues continue to dramatically overperform expectations, with a recent deposit of $2 billion deposit of excess capital gains revenue into the Stabilization Fund leading to an alltime high balance of $6.6 billion. Even with that historic deposit, the Commonwealth is on track for a signifi cant surplus at the end of the fi scal year, and the advocacy organizations today urged legislative action to give some of that surplus back to taxpayers. “Older adults, many of whom are on fixed incomes, have been especially hard-hit by infl ation and rising prices, and our tax cut plan would provide meaningful relief for seniors and their families,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “With state tax revenues continuing to come in far above benchmark, state government can more than aff ord to give seniors and other residents hurt by inflation a tax break. We hope our colleagues in the Legislature will join us to enact these tax cuts which would help those who are hardest hit by these tough times.” “Infl ation and rising prices are impacting everyone in Massachusetts, but especially seniors on fi xed incomes,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “Our tax cut plan takes advantage of Massachusetts’ large expected surplus and targets relief to populations and communities who have been hardest-hit by both the pandemic and ongoing economic pressures.” “The Commonwealth remains in a historically strong fi scal position and has ample resources to continue investing in critical areas of need, while also implementing important tax relief measures for everyone in Massachusetts — particularly seniors,” said Secretary of Administration and Finance Michael J. Heff ernan. “We look forward to working with the Legislature over the coming weeks to pass these benefits onto hundreds of thousands of hardworking taxpayers and help ensure the continued strength of the Massachusetts economy in Baker-Polito the long-term.” “At no time in our history has the Commonwealth had such excess revenue,” said Mike Festa, State Director, AARP Massachusetts. “Since Governor Baker fi led these proposed reforms on January 27, 2022, we have seen very signifi cant revenue surpluses. AARP strongly urges action now. Measures such as tax credits and other fi - nancial assistance, or both, to Massachusetts’ 844,000 family caregivers; doubling the maximum Senior Circuit Breaker Credit; and increasing the rental deduction cap help lower and middle-income residents and their families achieve increased health and fi nancial security and facilitate their ability to age in their own home and community. In addition, we continue to urge legislators to use some of the excess state revenue to provide a family caregiving tax credit.” “The Mass Councils on Aging encourages the Legislature to act now, and pass measures that can achieve greater economic security and well-being TAX CUTS | SEE PAGE 8 PUBLIC AUCTION FRIDAY, JULY 15TH AT 1:00 PM MORTGAGEE’S SALE OF REAL ESTATE • MALDEN • 15 ROOM / 6 BEDROOM TWO FAMILY “DUPLEX STYLE HOME Malden, MA To Be Sold On The Premises FEATURES: • Two Family Duplex Style Home • • Total of (15) Rooms w/ (6) Bedrooms & (2) Bathrooms • • ±4,317 S/F of Area • Gas FWA Heat • Basement • • Clapboard Siding • Hardwood Floors • Public Water & Sewer • • Zoned: Residential A • Assessor’s Parcel ID: M:137, B:799, L:909 • Sale Per Order Of Mortgagee Attorney Keith K.

Page 8 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 The Savings Bank cuts ribbon on new corporate facility in Wakefield W AKEFIELD – The Savings Bank recently held a groundbreaking ceremony at 3 Chestnut Street in Wakefield, adjacent to the Bank’s Main Office at 357 Main Street. Construction is set to begin on the two-story addition and expansion that will house the Bank’s Commercial Banking, Human Resources, Training, Facilities and IT departments. The site, previously occupied by Chas. F. Hartshorne & Son Insurance, was purchased by The Savings Bank in 2018 to expand its downtown campus and incorporate non-branch Lakeside Offi ce Park employees. The proximity of the two buildings will allow for customer and staff access between the Main Offi ce and the addition. Completion and occupancy is expected in early 2023. “This is an exciting time for The Savings Bank as we begin the construction of the long-awaited expansion of our physical footprint,” Bob DiBella, President and Chief Executive Officer said. DiBella was joined by members of the Bank’s Board of Directors and the management team involved in the project, as well as the architectural fi rm of LYF Architects, and the construction team from Essex Builders at the recent groundbreaking. “LYF Architects applauds The Savings Bank’s on-going commitment to having a strong presence in Wakefi eld’s downtown area,” Thomas F. Galvin, LYF Architects Senior Architect said. “We are honored to lead the design effort to expand their footprint and services at the Main Street campus. This truly was a collaborative eff ort between The Savings Bank’s leadership, our design team and Essex Builders to realize this project.” “After working alongside with The Savings Bank and LYF Architects through an investigative preconstruction process, Essex Builders Corp is excited to see The Savings Bank Offi ce Expansion project break ground,” Stephen Foley of Essex Builders Corp. added. “It’s been a pleasure working with this project team and we look forward to a successful project.” According to the Bank, fi nal preparations are being made for the interior design that will provide a seamless transition between the building and the Main Offi ce and Odd Fellows Building. “The Bank hopes to minimize any disruptions and inconvenience to local residents and those who work and frequent the downtown area as construction begins,” Di Bella added. “We appreciate the support we have received from the community, customers, and our employees.” TAX CUTS | FROM PAGE 7 for seniors such as doubling the maximum Senior Circuit Breaker Credit which will allow many seniors to remain in their homes and maintain the essential and in many cases, life-long connections they have built in their communities and will help to improve their economic security,” said Betsy Connell, Interim Executive Director of the Massachusetts Association of Councils on Aging. “Through AgeFriendly.org, the Age-Friendly Institute hears from older adults in the Commonwealth and around the country every day,” said Tim Driver, President of the Age-Friendly Institute. “We collect and curate these voices and opinions via online ratings, reviews and conversations on a variety of topics. It’s very clear these older taxpayers want and need alternative forms of income and other ways to save. The tax relief to be passed to older Massachusetts residents through these proposals will make it easier for residents to make ends meet. The Age-Friendly Institute supports the moves.” The plan includes several tax relief measures: • Double the maximum Senior Circuit Breaker Credit to lower the overall tax burden for more than 100,000 lower-income homeowners aged 65+, resulting in $60 million in annual savings for low-income seniors. • Increase the rental deMembers of the Board of Directors, executive management, and facilities teams at The Savings Bank recently participated in a groundbreaking ceremony at 3 Chestnut Street in Wakefi eld in preparation of the new two-story addition and expansion that will house the Bank’s Commercial Banking, Human Resources, Training, Facilities and IT departments.

The “no tax status” change to eliminate the income tax for more low-income people would result in nearly $12 million in annual savings in those same communities.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call records representatives’ and senators’ votes on roll calls from the week of June 27-July 1. REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE (H 4930) House 136-17, approved and sent to the Senate legislation designed to further protect reproductive health care and those who perform abortions in the Bay State. The measure specifi cally declares that both reproductive health care and gender-affi rming care is a “right secured by the constitution or laws” of Massachusetts and would shield providers of reproductive and gender-affi rming care and their patients from out-of-state legal action. Key provisions include prohibiting Massachusetts law enforcement from providing information related to an investigation or inquiry into legally protected health care services to federal or another state’s law enforcement agencies or private citizens; protecting Massachusetts residents from efforts to enforce court rulings from other states based on health care activity that is legally protected in Massachusetts; prohibiting any Massachusetts court from ordering a person in Massachusetts to give testimony or produce documents for use in connection with any proceeding in an out-of-state tribunal concerning legally protected health care activity; prohibiting medical malpractice insurers from discriminating against a provider that offers reproductive or gender-affirming health care services; and requiring insurance coverage for abortion and abortion-related care without being subject to deductibles, coinsurance, copayments or other cost-sharing requirements. “The progress we’ve made to protect abortion rights in Massachusetts distinguishes us at a time when millions of people across the country are losing their access to care,” said Dr. Jennifer Childs-Roshak, President of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts. “Now we must urgently expand access by making abortion care more aff ordable and supporting providers so they can safely provide care,” Rep. Ruth Balser (D-Newton), a 73-year old House member, said she is “a woman who is old enough to remember the days before Roe v. Wade,” and described “the pain that in particular my generation of women are feeling, that that hardfought and won right has been ripped from us.” Rep. Colleen Garry (D-Dracut) was the only representative to speak against the measure during debate on the House floor. “I voted against [it] because it went way beyond making abortions available and safe for women from other states and protecting our abortion providers,” said Garry. “The bill makes abortions free in Massachusetts eliminating any copays or cost sharing and allowing women from other states to qualify for MassHealth coverage for abortions. Nothing is free in this world. The health insurance ratepayers in Massachusetts will be paying for all of these abortions through their own insurance premiums. It also expanded availability for late term abortions to include not only the ‘fatal fetal anomaly’ provision from the Roe Act but went further to include access when the mother and her doctor decide that there is a ‘severe’ fetal anomaly, which is not defi ned in the legislation.” “The Supreme Court’s decision to completely overturn Roe v. Wade represents a fundamental attack on women’s rights,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “Now, more than ever, it is the responsibility of leaders in Massachusetts to ensure that the commonwealth can serve as a sanctuary for women seeking reproductive health care, and for providers whose licenses could be at risk because of this recent Supreme Court decision.” “Infl icting pain and death on another living, developing individual is not a right protected by the Constitution, no matter how warped the Democrats’ logic may be,” said Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Lyons. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it). Rep. Jessica Giannino Rep. Donald Wong 4929) Yes Yes LIMIT STEP THERAPY (H House 153-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that limits the use of health care plan mandated prescription drug “step therapy” protocols and provides more exemptions to the mandate. Step therapy requires the patient to try less expensive options before “stepping up” to drugs that cost more. “This is a great bill for patients,” said Health Care Financing Committee chair John Lawn (D-Watertown). “This legislation balances the need to manage utilization and control costs of expensive treatments with the moral imperative to protect patients who need life-saving treatments. Thanks to this bill, patients will get the right drug at the right time without delay.” “A top priority of the House is to ensure that every resident of the commonwealth has access to quality, aff ordable health care, but controlling costs should never come at the expense of positive patient outcomes,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “This legislation helps to achieve that goal by ensuring that patients in Massachusetts can circumvent step therapy protocols in instances where the process will result in delayed access to the only adequate medication. Conditions which would exempt a patient from trying the less expensive drug first include if the treatment will harm the patient, or if the patient previously tried the required treatment, or similar treatment, and it was ineff ective. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Rep. Jessica Giannino Rep. Donald Wong Yes Yes $56 MILLION FOR FAMILIES OF VICTIMS OF HOLYOKE SOLDIERS’ HOME (H 4932) House 153-0, approved $56 million in funding for the families of the victims of the COVID-19 outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home. “No amount of money will ever make up for the devastating loss and heartbreak that these families have been through,” said Sen. John Velis (D-Holyoke) the chair of the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee. “That anguish and grief will always be there, but this settlement does ensure that the families will not have to continue to endure the painful process of litigation. I am glad that the House has passed this swiftly and am committed to getting these funds across the fi nish line in the Senate.” “No amount of money can make up for the loss these families have suff ered,” said Rep. Patricia Duff y (D-Holyoke). “But I am gratifi ed that an agreement has been reached and fulfi lled.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Rep. Jessica Giannino Rep.

Board of Selectmen ViceChair Debra Panetta said she had talked to Town Counsel John Vasapolli, who advised her that it was “okay” for selectmen to attend the meeting “as long as we don’t deliberate.” Selectmen were able to use the meeting as experience on what to expect and how to evaluate future applications. They also learned something about the rigorous regulations that companies have to comply with if they want to sell marijuana products in Saugus. Capano briefed selectmen with a PowerPoint demonstration that summarized community benefi ts, history of the company, the parking plan, the delivery of the product, the dispensing procedures, security at the store, security procedures involving employees, storage of the product and many other facets THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 of the marijuana business. Capano noted the community benefi ts Saugus will realize, including: • The company will give local hiring preferences to Saugus residents. • There is a potential to create 25 new jobs at the store. • The company wants to be a good neighbor by making charitable contributions throughout the town. • The town is in a position to receive 17 percent sales tax for all adult-use cannabis transactions. • The town could also benefi t from a three percent local sales tax for all adult-use cannabis transactions. The company would go to extraordinary lengths to transport the marijuana product to Saugus. Each vehicle would have a minimum of two agents, one of them remaining in the vehicle at all times. Bostica would only transport marijuana between its licensed marijuana establishments and by its registered marijuana agents. The company would use randomized delivery routes and times. Access to the Bostica facility would be limited to people BOSTICA | SEE PAGE 17 We don’t just make deals.

Rep. Wong supports legislation to empower patients in their medical treatment decisions B OSTON — State Representative Donald H. Wong (R- Saugus) recently voted to support legislation that will give patients more of a say in pursuing a specific course of medical treatment recommended by their doctor rather than by their insurance company. House Bill 4929, An Act relative to step therapy and patient safety, was engrossed by the House of Representatives on a vote of 153-0 on June 29. Representative Wong said House Bill 4929 will protect consumers from an insurance practice known as step therapy, or “fail fi rst”, which mandates that a patient must fi rst try one or more preferred treatments dictated by an insurance company before they can be covered for a specifi c treatment recommended by a clinician. Although the bill does not ban step therapy, it calls for greater transparency by providing patients with the ability to request an exemption and the right to a speedy appeals process. The House bill outlines four specifi c circumstances under which a patient appeal can be triggered, including instances where: • the required treatment will harm the patient; • the required treatment is expected to be ineff ective; • the patient previously tried the required treatment, or a similar treatment, and it proved to be ineff ective or harmed the patient; or • the patient is stable on a current treatment and switching treatments will harm the patient According to Representative Wong, House Bill 4929 requires MassHealth and commercial insurers to provide “continuity of coverage” to patients so they can continue to receive their clinician-preferred method of treatment while their request for a step therapy exemption is reviewed. The bill also requires that a step therapy exemption request be approved or denied within three business days but mandates a decision within one business day if a delay would cause harm to the patient. It also provides for an appeals process if a patient’s request for an exemption is denied. Under House Bill 4929, commercial carriers will be required to fi le an annual report with the state’s Division of Insurance detailing data related to step therapy exemption requests and related coverage determinations. The bill also calls for the creation of a step therapy protocols commission that will study and assess the implementation of step therapy reforms recommended in House Bill 4929, and will fi le a report by October 1 in every even-numbered year with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the House and Senate chairs of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing. Representative Wong noted that 30 other states already have some form of step therapy protocols in place to protect patients, including Connecticut, Maine and New York. House Bill 4929 now moves to the Senate for its consideration. OBITUARIES Robert Thomas Cocorochio April 9, 1946 – June 29, 2022 After his honorable discharge he pursued a career with Bank Of Boston as a fi nancial analyst. He lived in California for many years enjoying beaches and sunshine he loved. He met his wife Patti there and from their love came a beautiful son Robert Jr. who was the joy of his life. He moved back to Saugus to live with and care for his mother after his father passed in 1985. After early retirement from Bank of Boston he pursued a career working at Pizzigando Cafe and Hotstone Pizza where he was known, loved and befriended by many for over 20 years. He loved every small detail of life. The beauty of nature, music, traveling, and his family. He was a huge Boston sports fan and was in his glory when by chance at least 3 teams were playing at the same time. There are no words to describe how much he will missed. We pray for the void in our hearts to be healed and we thank everyone for their support and prayers during our needs and his short illness. Bob was laid to rest at St. Michael Cemetery, Forest Hills.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 Page 11 Saugus Gardens in the Summer Here’s what’s blooming in town this week to make your walks more enjoyable A By Laura Eisener A n attractive “roadside weed” with a sky blue fl ower is common chicory (Cichorium intybus), which is originally from Eurasia and North Africa. Foragers may recognize it as an edible plant whose leaves can be used as a slightly bitter vegetable for salads, and whose roots can also be eaten much like a carrot or parsnip. The roots have also been roasted and used as a non-caff einated coff ee substitute or added to actual coffee beans, so it has also been known as coff eeweed. Sometimes this was done because people preferred the flavor to real coff ee, but during the Civil War it was used by Confederate troops and Southern citizens because of the blockade which prevented coff ee and other goods from being brought into the seceding states. Special varieties are cultivated and the leaves are blanched as elegant vegetables, such as radicchio and Belgian endive, and people familiar with this may call our naturalized plant wild endive. Due to the plant’s ability to grow in gravelly soils and dry situations, it thrives along roadsides and railroad embankments where gravel has been used to build up roadbeds. It can be found in many such areas DOING ITS JOB: This sweat bee is covered with pollen from visiting the daisy fl eabane and other fl owers in Charles Zapolski’s garden. (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate by Charles Zapolski) in Saugus, including the edges of the rail trail in Saugus Center, where people can see it near the sidewalk on Central Street. The ability to thrive in dry sites and what fi eld guides often describe as “waste places” helps explain why this species is thriving during this year’s drought and sunny weather. Chicory may not look much like a daisy, but it belongs to the same family, Asteraceae. In parts of the United States, it is known as blue daisy, blue dandelion or even simply blue weed. The ocean or sky blue blossom color has given rise to names like blue sailors or ragged sailors. Since it often is a desirable forage plant for livestock, another name is horseweed. Occasionally, fl owers may be found that are pink or white. The fl owering branched stems make attractive but shortlived bouquets since each blossom only lives a day or so. Another perennial blooming around town this week is named for its reputation of blooming for only a day — tawny daylily (Hemerocallis fulva). Since there will be quite a few buds per plant, you may fi nd that it is in bloom for a few weeks even if each individual blossom only lasts one or at most two days. The fl owers close up at night or if you bring them indoors out of sunlight, so they are not very good as bouquet fl owers. If the vase is outdoors during the day, the fl owers will stay open, so they only work for outdoor arrangements! While once classifi ed in the lily family (Lilaceae), daylilies are now in the asphodel family (As-( phodelaceae), which includes plants such as aloe (Aloe vera ( and about 500 other species) and red hot poker (Kniphofi a spp.). Daylilies are very popular with plant breeders, and there are thousands of varieties available. The tawny daylily is also often simply called orange daylily, since it is a bright orange color with a yellow center. Daylily hybrids may be yellow, pink, red, purple or combinations of colFAMILIAR SIGHT: The common orange or tawny daylily is often passed along from gardener to gardener, and it can be seen blooming this week in every neighborhood in Saugus.

(Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate by Laura Eisener) ors. It is also sometimes called tiger lily, although there is a true lily (Lilium spp.) colored orange with black spots that also is known by that name. The tawny daylily is very easy to grow in sunny locations in almost any soil and tends to increase over time. It can be seen blooming all over, and many people are likely to recall being given their plants by a friend, neighbor or family member. Nurseries rarely sell the plain orange daylily, but are likely to carry reblooming varieties which fl ower over a longer part of the year, and perhaps a few once-blooming varieties which have unusual colors or other features. Another pretty fl owering wayside “weed” is daisy fleabane (Erigeron annuus), which has sprays of daisy-like fl ower heads each about an inch across. The disc flowers are yellow, and from a distance the rays appear white but on closer examination often turn out to be very pale lilac. Of the three fl owering plants described this week, daisy fl eabane is the only one that originated in North and Central America and did not migrate here with European settlers. It can grow anywhere between one and fi ve feet tall. It may continue fl owering most of the summer in sunny locations, and it makes a great fi ller for bouquets.

Page 12 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 The Sounds of Saugus By Mark E. Vogler Preparing for a new school year School begins next month. Summer vacation started just a couple of weeks ago. But the 2022-23 School Year Calendar was recently posted on the Saugus Public Schools website. School begins on Aug. 30 for students in grades 1 to 12. Kindergarten and Pre-K classes begin on Aug. 31. Public misses virtual pot meeting So much for Community Outreach. The public either was not interested in or didn’t know about last Thursday’s “virtual Community Outreach Meeting” organized by a Lynnbased pot manufacturer that wants to locate a marijuana retail store on Route 1 in Saugus. Other than members of the Board of Selectmen and a few staff of Bostica LLC — and this reporter — no Saugus residents tuned in to watch Bostica LLC unveil its plans for a store at 44 Broadway, Unit A, located near Oye’s Chinese Restaurant, or answer questions from the public. And nobody bothered to email questions in advance to Jonathan Capano, an attorney and Saugus resident who’s working as Bostica LLC’s chief compliance officer. The Saugus Advocate had published a page one story titled “Marijuana company seeks Saugus location” in our June 24 edition. But nobody bothered to email questions to Capano, whose email appeared on the front page as part of that story. —Contest— CONTEST SKETCH OF THE WEEK But it’s no big deal, according to selectmen. No vote was taken, and there will be plenty of public hearings for citizens to express themselves before selectmen decide whether they want to grant Bostica LLC a license. And of course, there won’t be any votes cast anytime soon, at least not before the state Attorney General’s Offi ce approves the measure passed by this year’s Annual Town Meeting that allows for a marijuana establishment to locate in town.

Saugus seeks student poll workers Town Clerk Ellen Schena is circulating that “Uncle Sam needs you” flyer again, in search of student poll workers for the town’s fall elections. “I am looking for 16, 17 & 18 years-old Saugus Students to work the September and November Elections,” Schena wrote in a recent email to The Saugus Advocate. “Both are Tuesdays and there will be no school. Attached is the fl yer I have used in the past.” The fl yer includes a facsimile of a poster with a pointing “Uncle Sam,” and the declaration “I WANT YOU To Become a Poll Worker Today!” The fl yer, titled “Calling all Saugus High Juniors and Seniors,” promises to accommodate any hours the students want to work. It notes that the students can work as Community Services volunteers to fulfill their High School hours, or they can get paid as election workers: 16-year-olds can work part-time shifts of six to eight hours; 17- & 18-yearolds can work full-time shifts of eight to 12 hours. Interested students can stop by Town Hall or contact the Town Clerk’s Offi ce to apply for work. Ask for Andrew DePatto, the Saugus Election Coordinator. He can be reached at 781-231-4102. Another bonus for participating students: “Great to have on your College Applications/Resumes.” “Shout-outs” to Zap We didn’t receive any nominations from our readers this week for a Saugus resident deserving of high praise. So, we’ll borrow a few “shoutouts” from last week’s Advocate Newspapers’ Facebook Page. Our “Advocate Asks” interview with Saugus Photographer Charlie “Zap” Zapolski received a heap of praise. The article focused on Zap’s patriotic photos, particularly those of the bald eagle — the symbol of America’s strength and freedom. Using two Facebook websites to post his photographs, Charlie has been entertaining Saugus residents for years with his neat photos of bird and nature scenes. And he’s been doing this for free. So, here’s a dozen loud “shoutouts” to Zap. 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. Food pantry seeks volunteers Here’s a message from Pastor Joe Hoyle of Cliftondale Congregational Church about a collaborative community commitment to help needy Saugus residents: “The Saugus United Parish Food Pantry is a partnership between the churches in Saugus to ensure that no one in our community faces food insecurity. “With faithful donations and volunteers, we have been able to give out thousands of meals to our neighbors in need throughout the years. The Food Pantry is open every Friday from 9:30am-11am, distributing pre-packaged groceries (including meat and produce) at 50 Essex St. “We are always in need of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer or donate, please contact Pastor Joe Hoyle, Executive Director at offi ce@clindalecc.org or 781-233-2663.” Compost site now open The community’s compost site will be open to residents on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The site is located behind the Department of Public Works at 515 Main St. Stickers are required to gain seasonal access to the site.

KIDS SUMMER READING 2022 Summer reading plays a vital role in helping reduce what is known as the “Summer Slide” – the learning loss experienced between school years, which can leave students dramatically behind their peers. The Saugus Public School District recommends that kids read at least 20 minutes a day this summer. The library is here to help families create a summer reading routine that is fun for kids and families. KIDS PRIZES We provide all kinds of prizes to incentivize reading. We have a prize cart with books and toys. We’re also giving away reading Brag Tags and colorful beads – kids love watching that chain grow as they record their reading.

BUILD A READER We suggest creating a reading routine this summer: at the same time of day, turn off the media, sit with a child, and enjoy a good story. Read when they read, read to them, or let them read to you. Let them read what they love. Provide a variety of reading materials, leave them in the car, or download audiobooks to your phone and listen while you run errands. Need some help getting your child to fall in love with reading? Stop by the library and see us! ADULT SUMMER READING 2022 The summer is about to begin, full of possibilities.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 Page 15 BHRC | FROM PAGE 9 sent to the House a measure that would repeal several archaic laws, still on the books in Massachusetts, which many people no longer see as criminal and/or may be unconstitutional. The bill would repeal archaic laws that intrude on an individual’s privacy regarding sexual activity by removing the statute that criminalizes sodomy, removing language that criminalizes “unnatural” acts and removing language pertaining to “common nightwalkers.” The bill would also establish a permanent law revision commission. The bill leaves in place statutes prohibiting prostitution and statutes prohibiting sex with animals. “In my America, there is a personal space the government has no business in,” said sponsor Sen. Will Brownsberger (D-Belmont). “These laws intrude into people’s personal space and they shouldn’t be on the books. The Supreme Court, for a while, has agreed with that. But lately, we are not sure where they are going. The repeal is long overdue but especially timely given [the recent] Supreme Court decision.” “At a time when conservative Supreme Court justices are invoking discriminatory 18th century laws, we want to make sure there are no laws in Massachusetts that invoke hateful treatment of the LBGTQ community or Puritan attitudes towards sex,” said Senate Judiciary chair Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton). “I’m also grateful that this legislation will repeal the common night walking statute, which has led to the mistreatment of many trans residents.” “It is undeniable that when it comes to human rights, we cannot rest on our assumptions at this moment in history,” said Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “First and foremost, the government has no business in people’s sex lives. Furthermore, in a commonwealth that prides itself on our social progressiveness, inclusivity and equality, our laws must refl ect these vital ideals. By removing harmful, homophobic and transphobic language from our statutes, we are taking a well overdue step to ensure the letter of the laws promotes equity and justice for the most vulnerable members of our population.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes CHANGE CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE LAW (S 2944) Senate 31-9, approved and sent to the House a bill that would make changes to the current civil asset forfeiture law that allows law enforcement and prosecutors to seize property which is alleged to have been involved in a crime. Under current law, the burden of proof is on the owner of the items who believes that their possessions were improperly forfeited. That person is required to demonstrate that these items were not involved in a crime. The bill puts the burden of proof on law enforcement and prosecutors who would be required to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that property seized is in fact subject to civil asset forfeiture under Massachusetts law. Forfeiture hearings would also include accused individuals’ legal counsel and the bill also limits the value of items taken in civil asset forfeiture to $250 or less. “Massachusetts civil asset forfeiture laws are ranked among the worst in the nation,” said sponsor Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham). “The Senate took steps to change that … Through collaboration with law enforcement, social justice advocates and legislative partners, I believe the fi nal bill strikes a good balance between supporting the good work done by our public safety personnel and enhancing the forfeiture process to better protect Bay Staters from any unjust confiscation.” “In my capacity as Senate Chair of the Committee on the Judiciary, I served as coChair of the Special Commission on Asset Forfeiture,” said Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton). “That special commission produced a powerful report calling for change to the commonwealth’s outdated approach to asset forfeiture. Massachusetts has one of the most unfair civil asset forfeiture laws in the country, with little due process - and has taken a bold step forward to reform that. For those facing criminal prosecution or those who are innocent co-owners of property that may have been tangentially related to crime, this bill represents transformational change for the good.” Opponents said the bill goes too far and off ered several unsuccessful amendments including one that would strike the right to free counsel and replace it with a commission to study whether counsel should be offered at no cost to indigents. Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the chief opponent of the measure, did not respond to several requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on why he opposed the bill. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it). Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes JUVENILE DIVERSION (S 2942) Senate 32-8, approved and sent to the House a bill that would expand the number of offenses for which juvenile courts may divert accused juveniles from prison to community service. The measure gives juvenile judges the opportunity to decide, based on the facts of the case, if a child would be better served through a diversion program and receiving appropriate services in a community setting. “This legislation will reduce recidivism by providing more young people a chance to receive appropriate services in BHRC | SEE PAGE 16

I used to cycle a lot in my younger years but have some balance problems and don’t trust myself on a two-wheeler anymore. I’ve read those electric powered trikes are a good option for older riders but could use some help choosing one. Unsteady Eddie Dear Eddie, Electric powered adult tricycles — also known as e-trikes — are a great cycling option for older adults with balance or stamina issues because they’re safe and super fun to ride, and easy on an aging body. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips to help you shop for one. Safer Cycling If you’re interested in cycling, but worry about falling or injuring yourself, e-trikes are a great choice because of the three-wheeled stability they provide. With a trike you can ride as slow as you want without ever losing your balance, which is very reassuring for most older riders. E-trikes also come with a small electric powered motor to enhance the riding experience, so when you saddle up and apply the throttle the motor will give you a boost when pedaling, or it will do all the work for you. This makes it much easier to whiz up hills and ride into headwinds without gassing yourself or taxing your knee joints. In addition, most adult e-trikes are also made with a low “step through” design making mounting and dismounting easier; they typically come with big tires that ensure a smooth ride; have ergonomic handlebars that are easy to reach and grip; and off er oversize seats (some even have backrests) for comfort and support. There are many different types of adult e-trikes to choose from with prices ranging anywhere from around $2,000 up to $7,000. To shop for one, contact some bike shops in your area to see what they off er, or you may need to order one online. When shopping for an e-trike, pay special attention to the motor, which determines how fast it will go, and the battery, which determines how far it will go between charges. Most e-trikes can reach speeds of anywhere between 15 and 28 miles per hour, and typically go somewhere between 20 and 55 miles on a single charge, depending on how much pedaling you do. Battery charge times will vary too, ranging anywhere from 3 to 8 hours. How to Choose To help you fi gure out the right kind of e-trike for you, ask yourself how and where you plan to ride it. If you’re primarily interested in a leisurely ride around the neighborhood for pleasure, fi tness or running errands, an upright cruiser e-trike that has a rear cargo basket would be a nice choice. Some popular options in this category include: Addmotor’s M-340 Electric Fat Trike and M-360 Semi-Recumbent Trike (both $3,000, addmotor.com); Emojo Caddy Pro ($2,900, emojobike.com); Sixthreezero EVRYjourney 250W Tricycle ($2,200, sixthreezero.com); EWheels EW-29 ($2,000, ewheelsdealers.com); and Buzz Cerana T ($1,700, buzzbicycles.com). Or, if you’re looking to take longer road rides a recumbent e-trike may be a better option. These are aerodynamic, low-to-the-ground stretched-out frame trikes that allow you to recline with your legs positioned in front of you. Catrike (catrike.com) and TerraTrikes (terratrike.com) are two of the biggest U.S. companies that make recumbent tadpole-style trikes (the two wheels are in front) and they both off er electric assist options at prices ranging from $5,000 to $,7000. There are also folding e-trikes, which are practical if you have limited home storage space or would like to take your trike with you when traveling.

ANSWERS BHRC | FROM PAGE 15 response to a bad decision and ultimately avoid the collateral consequences of a juvenile record,” said Senate Majority Leader Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “As the lead sponsor of the bill, I am happy that the Senate passed this important reform to our juvenile justice system.” “I voted [against the bill] because of the provisions … expanding its scope to include violent crimes including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon,” said Sen. Marc Pacheco (D-Taunton). He noted that the inclusion of these offenses as part of the expansion is a significant concern to the district attorney serving the constituents he represents and local law enforcement experts. He argued that some amendments that were rejected ultimately would have struck a better balance. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it). Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL ACUPUNCTURE DETOX SPECIALISTS (S 2957) — The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would have the Bay State join 27 other states and allow certain qualifi ed health care professionals to perform the standardized 5 needle-point ear acupuncture detoxifi cation protocol (5NP) — an extremely cost-eff ective treatment that has been shown to help those suff ering from addiction and trauma. Research shows the treatment helps with addiction withdrawals, reduces drug cravings, decreases stress, anxiety, depression and other symptoms. Supporters said this is an affordable treatment with treatment costs estimated to be 23 cents per person and training costs as low as $125 per person. They noted that Massachusetts is currently the only New England state that does not have such a law. “The opioid epidemic has affected all of our communities,” said sponsor Rep. Carole Fiola (D-Fall River). “This bill makes the 5NP protocol more accessible by expanding certifi cation to qualifi ed healthcare profesBHRC | SEE PAGE 17

By doing this, we expand access to addiction treatment and add another tool to fi ght against opioid addiction at minimal cost.” HIV PREVENTION DRUGS (S 2955) — The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would allow pharmacists to prescribe, dispense and administer a short-term supply (60-days once in a two-year period) of HIV prevention drugs, known as pre-exposure prophylaxis(PrEP), to a patient without a prescription. The bill requires pharmacists to provide counseling regarding the use of PrEP and to connect patients without a primary care provider with a health care provider for ongoing care and to obtain a prescription for PrEP. “PrEP is a game changer in HIV prevention that reduces the risk of HIV transmission by 99 percent,” said Sen. Julian Cyr (D- Truro). “While there has been great progress in managing HIV since the virus was fi rst identifi ed, tens of thousands of people continue to contract HIV each year, and gay and bisexual men, especially gay and bisexual men of color, are disproportionately impacted. Increasing access to this vital treatment by enabling pharmacists to prescribe PrEP and improving access to care by requiring pharmacists to link customers to medical care will bolster the Commonwealth’s overall public health and address health care inequities.” ANOTHER REP ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION FROM THE HOUSE — Eight-year incumbent Amesbury Republican Rep. Jim Kelcourse has become the seventh representative to announce his resignation from the House to take another job. Kelcourse was confirmed by the Governor’s Council for a position on the State Parole Board that grants and supervises parolees . He resigned his House seat last week, bringing the total number of GOP members in the House to 27. Democrats currently hold the other 126 seats. “While I’m genuinely looking forward to serving the commonwealth in a new way in my new role, I will miss this job and this body,” said Kelcourse in his farewell speech on the House fl oor. “I won’t miss running for re-election every two years, but I will miss going door-to-door to talk to people in my district. I will miss picking up the phone at my offi ce and helping someone fi nd a new apartment or with their unemployment, or a small business with getting their utilities hooked up. I will miss how it feels to help in the way that all of us can and do in this role.” Kelcourse joins a growing list of resignations including former Reps. Lori Ehrlich (D-Marblehead); Claire Cronin (D-Brockton); Maria Robinson (D-Framingham); Sheila Harrington (R-Groton); Carolyn Dykema (D-Holliston); and Tom Golden (D-Lowell).

Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of BHRC | SEE PAGE 18 BOSTICA | FROM PAGE 10 21 and older and they would have to wear visitor badges. “We’d demand a person’s ID to make sure they’re 21 and older,” Capano said. He added that younger people and children cannot accompany an adult into the store. In addition, consumers will not be allowed to “light up a joint” after they leave the store, and he noted that they would be monitored closely for violating that regulation. “Every square inch of this facility will be under video surveillance,” Capano said. He said the company is interested in helping the town in any way possible, not just in selling marijuana products. “We want to know how we can be the best fit for Saugus,” he said.                               8855-GO-4-GLAS55-GO-4-GLAS We follow Social Distancing Guidelines! 781 233 4446

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 fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

Vogler T here were 34 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases over the past seven days through Wednesday (July 6), according to Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree. That’s six fewer new cases than reported last week. This week’s positive COVID cases reported to the town by the state Department of Public Health (DPH) increased the overall total to 9,423 confi rmed cases, according to Crabtree. There have been more than 630 confi rmed cases over the past 11 weeks as the virus continues to hang around, causing some people to continue wearing masks at Town Hall even though they are optional. Meanwhile, the state reported no new COVID-19-related deaths over the past seven days, leaving the overall total at 93 deaths since the outbreak of the Coronavirus in March of 2020. “Our hearts and prayers go out to those families affected by this health pandemic,” Crabtree said. 69 Foundry St. #321 Wakefield, MA 01880 We are fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, Italian and Spanish! 42 Richard St. Saugus, MA 01906 38 Main St. Saugus 20 Railroad Ave. Rockport (781) 558-1091 mangorealtyteam.com YOUR AREA IS POPULAR! 2 bed 1.5 bath ranch: large eat-in kitchen, living room, heated two-car garage, walk up attic, basement, front porch and outdoor patio, close to major routes, Boston, Logan Airport and more..........................................$539,000 Find us on Google and see what our clients have to say about us! 73 Plummer Ave, Winthrop MA 02152 The market is packed with buyers looking for homes in your neighborhood!
