Page 14 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 9, 2019 THE SOUNDS OF SAUGUS By Mark Vogler H ere are a few tidbits that you might want to know about this week in Saugus. A “vampire” at Town Hall? Kirstie Pecci of the Conservation Law Foundation provided a moment of levity as she stood at the lectern in the second floor auditorium at Saugus Town Hall on Monday, not seeming too concerned about a bat that was hovering over her head as she gave testimony. “That’s actually a vampire I invited here that, hopefully, will have something to say after I’m done,” Pecci quipped, drawing some laughter from the crowd that had gathered for the Board of Health’s show cause hearing for Wheelabrator Technologies, Inc. to explain its noise problems. While a number of people were ducking their heads and trying to get out of the flight path of the bat, Pecci showed no fear – just a sense of humor. “Wheelabrator probably brought this bat to harass me. I’m taking it personal at this point,” she said. Nothing like a little wildlife to spice up an environmental hearing. “A shout-out” for Armstrong - Live Performances | Dozens of Food Vendors Activities for the Entire Family | Beer Garden The Saugus Firefighters Local 1003 recently posted a special recognition on its webpage for Armstrong Ambulance: “After the following recent assault on a Boston EMS provider, Armstrong developed a situational awareness and self-defense course to help our crews and other first responders remain safe as they serve our communities. The course was held Tuesday morning at the Saugus Public Safety Building where Armstrong crew members, Saugus Firefighters Local 1003 and other first responder agencies gathered to share personal experiences and learn best practices to not only keep the public safe but themselves and their partners. “A special thanks to Armstrong’s Training Coordinator Larry LeDoux who instructed the class and to everyone who supported the important training.” 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. Just send an email (mvoge@comcast.net) with the 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 photo.
