Page 14 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, JUly 26, 2024 THE SOUNDS | FROM PAGE 13 the three full-sized soccer fields (they can be broken down to make six for kids). Over the years, Paul has seen the fields underwater frequently. Lighting is important, too. There needs to be additional lighting to make the kids and adults using the fields feel safe and to also protect the new facilities from vandalism and theft. Parking is another issue that came up at the information session. “They only got about 80 spots – they’re going to need more space on weekends,” Paul told me. “We’re going to have to get the parking lot relined. And it would be nice to get some more lighting in here.” “But my biggest concern is the safety issue – getting emergency vehicles in here and out,” he said. By virtue of his position as vice president of the local youth soccer association, which represents 350 kids – three year olds all the way up to High School age – Paul is a well-seasoned advocate who is going to make sure that the project doesn’t adversely affect SYSA. He also is very excited and supportive of the project. “Saugus Youth Hockey is behind the project all the way. We definitely support it,” he said. From the way Paul talked of his concerns at the playground, my sense is he will be monitoring the project closely and make sure it’s done right. “Shout Out” to Soccer supporters We received a multiple - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Essex Probate and Family Court 36 Federal Street Salem, MA 01970 (978) 744-1020 Docket No. ES24P2157EA Estate of: BERNICE ANN DUNN Also known as: BERNICE A.

Also I would like to thank the Town Of Saugus for giving Saugus soccer the opportunity to take over these fields and make them what they are considered to be[:] one of the best soccer facilities in Essex County.” A “Shout Out” to Indiana mission kids Joanie Allbee, a frequent contributor to The Saugus Advocate, gave a collective “Shout Out” to kids from Next Step Ministries partnering with Auburn, Indiana’s Dayspring Community Church. “This group is on a working Mission’s trip, helping to rebuild Saugus Heritage Gazebo. These kids are leaving today and are sooo excited about the possibility of being in the paper to show their folks in Indiana.” This is a “Shout Out” worth doubling down on for a group of kids passing through from the Midwest. Hats off to Lindsy Bledsoe, Tyler Bledsoe, Brady Culler, Chloe Buss, ThaiRotz, John Buss, Laken Mosier, MercedesBledsoe, Karly Kaufmann and Alexis Shipe. 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. Looking for a Planning Director It looks like The Town of Saugus can use more than a little planning help to protect the town from problems associated with development. Planning & Economic Development Director Christopher Reilly has left town, leaving a key position vacant. So, the saga of revolving doors in the town’s Planning Department continues. Selectman Anthony Cogliano was blunt in explaining this discouraging development. “He left last month and went to Middleton. It’s impossible to work here. Engineer just quit too,” Cogliano said in an email to The Saugus Advocate yesterday. Stay tuned. Founders Day date change Founders Day, one of the most popular town events of the year, will be a week late this year. It’s usually observed on the first Saturday in September.
