SAUGUS Board of Selectmen Honors - see page 6 ADVOCATE Vol. 22, No. 33 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net Published Every Friday ~ THE ADVOCATE ASKS ~ Firefighter Robert Johnson discusses being tops among last week’s state Firefighting Academy graduates Editor’s Note: For this week’s interview, we sat down with Saugus Firefighter Robert Johnson, who last week received the Richard N. Bangs Outstanding Student Award for distinguishing himself as the top graduate of the recently concluded Massachusetts Firefighting Academy. Johnson, 36, a 2001 Saugus High School (SHS) graduate, was among five Saugus firefighter recruits who recently completed the 10-week training program hosted by the state Department of Fire Services in Stow. Johnson is following in the footsteps of his father, retired Saugus Fire Department Capt. Steve Johnson, a 1973 SHS graduate who spent 33 years with the town’s fire service and called it a career in 2014. Robert Johnson is one of four children of Steve and the late Deborah Johnson. His brother, Daniel, of Saugus, is a dispatcher with Chelsea 911. He has two sisters: Sheri Burggren, of Georgetown, a nuclear medical technician, and Jenna Chesna, a stay-at-home mother who lives in Saugus. Robert Johnson’s girlfriend, Kathryn Riley, a 2000 SHS graduate, is a registered nurse at Salem Hospital. Highlights of this week’s interview follow. Q: What does it mean to be the top student of the graduating class of the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy? A: I really just wanted to do the best that I could. I felt like they gave me an opportunity to go there to learn, so I just gave it my all and tried my best for the 10 weeks. And I ended up coming on top. Q: At what point did you know you finished on top?

The board’s 4-0 vote (Selectman Mark Mitchell was absent from the meeting) will need to be approved by the state Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and the state Registry of Motor Vehicles. “I think it’s something that the police can enforce and something in the best interests of our citizens,” Selectman Scott Brazis said. Brazis also defended actions taken by selectmen in response to citizen concerns over the safety of pedestrians. He maintained that everything was done “thoroughly” and “the proper way.” Central Street was one of several major town roads that received approval of selectmen earlier this year to have their speed limits lower to 25 mph. But that vote never became official. The MassDOT later advised the town that their requests to reduce the speed limit to 25 mph on Lincoln Avenue, Main Street and Essex Street weren’t properly filed and needed to be supported by documentation and data supporting the reducSLOWING | SEE PAGE 4 Prices subject to change FLEET

Page 2 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 16, 2019 “Keep Saugus something special” Former Saugus Chamber of Commerce executive director says he is on a six-month mission to revive it By Mark E. Vogler R oute 1 businessman and marketing specialist Richard J. DeSanctis Jr. declared himself back this week as a key component of what he hopes will be a new and improved Saugus Chamber of Commerce. DeSanctis, 50, a 1987 Saugus High School graduate, said he has agreed to take on the Chamber’s job as interim executive director – but not to stay much longer than six months. “If Saugus has a strong $3.39 $2.44GALLONGALLON We accept: MasterCard * Visa * & Discover Price Subject to Change without notice 100 Gal. Min. 24 Hr. Service 781-286-2602 Chamber of Commerce, it helps the town,” DeSanctis said in an interview this week. “There is a benefit for me as a businessperson for doing this. But I’m not doing this for the money,” he said. “I’m strictly on commission and I don’t get paid if the Chamber doesn’t make any money. And I would like to walk away from this in six months with their hiring a full-time executive director.” Richard J. DeSanctis Jr. DeSanctis said he remembers how good things were 15 years ago when he was still executive director of the Chamber. “When I left, there were about 350 to 380 people. It saddens me to see the Chamber in the shape it’s become. I’d hate to see the Chamber fall apart,” DeSanctis said. “I intend to reach out to everyone on the North Shore. It benefits other towns to have a stable and strong Chamber in Saugus,” he said. DeSanctis said his shortterm position was approved this week by the Chamber’s Board of Directors. DeSanctis said he became executive director of the Chamber on Sept. 11, 2001, and held the position until May of 2004. “Fundraising, Marketing, Public Relations, Government Affairs were a few of my tasks,” he recalled of the experience on his LinkedIn website. “During my last year at the Chamber I, along with my board had the opportunity to play a huge role in the Saugus American Little League fundraising effort. The Chamber spearheaded a marketing campaign like none other. During that summer we were on local TV nightly, reporting on our boys from Saugus, Ma. Our greatest accomplishment that summer was the raising of funds for the boys and their families. That number exceeded $100,000.00.” DeSanctis is presently the President and CEO of RouteOneOriginal.com – Marketing Group and R.J. DeSanctis Entertainment. Delivery truck gets a lift after driver crashes down embankment The driver of an Amazon delivery truck escaped serious injury when he failed to navigate a turn properly on Lewis Street on Saturday night, hit a telephone pole and drove his vehicle down an embankment in between two houses. Rescue crews responding to the scene freed the man from his damaged van, and he was taken to Melrose-Wakefield Hospital for treatment of injuries that weren’t considered serious. G&J Towing used a crane to hoist the van and lower it onto Lewis Street. Courtesy Photo to The Saugus Advocate by Lt. Damian Drella of the Saugus Fire Department) Lawrence A.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 16, 2019 Page 3 How can he make it better? School Committee members cite areas where School Supt. DeRuosi needs improvement By Mark E. Vogler I t’s clear from last week’s workshop on the task of evaluating the performance of Saugus Public Schools Superintendent Dr. David DeRuosi, Jr., School Committee members rate him as “proficient” across the board in every category. The five members give DeRuosi high grades in instructional leadership, management and operations, family and community engagement and professional culture. “If I was going to give him a letter grade, I would say B-plus,” School Committee Chair Jeanette Meredith said in an interview this week. “I think he’s made a lot of great strides in a short time. He’s not just building a new school. He’s reconfiguring the education … Do I think he’s doing a good job? Yes. But there is always room for improvement,” she said. But, it is by no means a perfect score. In her evaluation of the superintendent, Elizabeth Marchese raises concerns about instructional leadership. “Though goals have been set and programs put in place for the next academic year, based on our academic achievement rate presently his performance needs improvement.” She also believes that DeRuosi can do better in the area of family and community engagement. “Communications with families can vastly improve. I would like to see more interaction with our older students and their families. I would also like to see more consistency and transparency in the handling of controversy.” Linda Gaieski cited curriculum as an area within the standard of instructional leadership where she believes that DeRuosi can improve. “This goal is in its infancy and needs to be ongoing,” Gaieski wrote. “Would like to see regular updates and check-ins on its progress. It is a priority for the system this year,” she said. Gaieski said the superintendent needs improvement in the area of “shared vision” and “managing conflict” within the standard of professional culture. She called the vision “a work in progress.” while also noting “significant progress being made.” She noted that managing conflict was a difficult task for DeRuosi. “Dr. DeRuosi has an insurmountable challenge in this area due to dissension among committee members and the aftereffects of attempting to change a culture with some unpopular decisions that were necessary to improve student achievement,” Gaieski said. Lisa Morgante noted there is “always room for improvement” in the areas of professional practice and student learning. Morgante said the superintendent needs to spend more time at the High School. As for student learning, Morgante said that while she hopes the district is headed in the Its a Marina Dance Party all weekend! right direction, “Everyone needs to embrace this process (teachers, students and administrators).” There are no letter grades within the School Committee’s evaluation process. Everything is judged within the context of whether the superintendent fails to meet the committee goals that have been set, meets or exceeds his goals. And there is even disagreement among some members over how the goals are set. “Given the goals set at the beginning of this evaluation cycle, it appears that we as a committee have no alternative but to rate Superintendent DeRuosi as proficient,” Marchese wrote. “These goals were overly broad when reflecting back and more stringent task specific goals will be set for the upcoming evaluation cycle. Plans for improvement are in place, but it is the follow through that will need to be closely monitored by future committee members,” she said. Committee Member Marc Magliozzi agreed the superintendent performed “proficient,” based on the goals that were set. “Going forward, I will recommend more specific goals that have supportive data,” Magliozzi stressed. “I believe he is working with the administration for accountability, but want to know how it flows: to teachers and ultimately student achievement. Our consumer should always be the student and education,” he said. 3 Locations Saugus Groceria, 190 Main Street 781-231-9599 West End, Boston, 75 Blossom Court 617-227-6141 Seaport Boston, 1 Park Lane 857-366-4640 Friday, August 16 at 9 PM DAVE MACK Saturday, August 17 at 9 PM DJ LOGIK Sunday, August 18 at 9 PM DJ LOGIK MONDAY'S SHUCK! $1.00 Oysters SUNDAY BRUNCH BUFFET Only $19.95 / 11am-2pm Featuring Al Whitney Jazz Band BOOK YOUR NEXT FUNCTION WITH US * GIFT CARDS AMPLE FREE www.marinaatthewharf.com 543 North Shore Rd.

Selectmen later decided to postpone consideration of any more speed limit changes, pending the results of a townwide speed limit analysis commissioned by Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree. Wednesday night’s vote was based on recommendations by The Engineering Corp. (TEC) of Andover. “Based on the number of residences with direct access to Central Street and other side-friction elements throughout the corridor, it is TEC’s engineering judgment to recommend a consolidated speed regulation with a consistent 30 MPH speed regulation along the length of Central Street, with the exception of maintaining the existing 25 MPH and 20 MPH speed zones surrounding the Town Center (between Saville Street and Vermont Avenue),” TEC advised in a study dated Aug. 6. “This change will promote safe and consistent travel speeds along this roadway,” TEC concluded. “The proposed speed regulations standardize the speed limits along the majority of the SLOWING | SEE PAGE 5

Crabtree said it’s been proven that engineering, road widths and designing of the roadway has more to do in dictating what speeds people drive. A community can set a 20 mph speed limit and wind up with nobody driving 20 mph. People drive what’s comfortable for them, according to the town manager. One concept that town officials learned was the way speed limits are set. MassDOT determines speed limits based on the speed at or below which 85 percent of motorists travel. The 85th percentile speed is the national standard for establishing safe speed limits. TEC advised in its study that the town would be better off maintaining existing speed limits in most cases because they are already lower than * A Delta Dental Premier Provider Dr. Mario Abdennour, Dr. Bhavisha Patel, Dr. Priti Amlani, Dr. Bruce Goldman and team. ilies were disappointed with the final result, we all were so proud of the effort displayed during the run to the finals. In order to make it to the State Tournament, the girls won the Essex County Playoff Tournament. We went 4-0 in that tournament, earning the right to represent Saugus and Essex County at the State Tournament. Saugus Youth Soccer hadn’t had a team advance to the State Finals since 2005. This was a great representation of the girls and our program. Our program includes approximately 200 children in the travel program ranging in age from 3rd grade to 8th ATM on site what the state would set under its formula for determining speed limits. “For MassDOT to consider modifying these regulations, the Town of Saugus would have to submit to the district the proper documentation and data for the roadways under their jurisdiction,” MassDOT’s District Highway Director, Paul D. Stedman, advised the Board of Selectmen in a Feb. 11 letter. “At the request of the town, the district may perform speed studies on the state-owned sections of Main Street and Essex Street. Please be advised that speed studies could result in increasing speed limits based on the 85th percentile speeds observed,” Stedman wrote. Crabtree told selectmen on Wednesday night that TEC would continue to look at ways to make Saugus roads safer. Sunday grade. We also have approximately another 150 children included in our town program. This past season Saugus Youth Soccer had 6 teams qualify for the Essex County Tournament and 2 teams made it to the finals.

For more details, check with Dennis Gould (617 267 4847) Nomination papers information For town residents who are considering a run at public office in the town elections, nomination papers are now available at the Town Clerk’s Office at Town Hall. It appears there could be a few openings up for grabs on both the School Committee and the Board of Selectmen.

If you have ever considered helping out your community in an elected or appointed role, go get it!

Town Clerk Ellen Schena has an offer you might consider. There’s no school on Election Day anyway. “All students – 16, 17 and 18 – are welcome to work as election workers at the minimum pay rate or for community service,” Ellen told me this week. “I usually get five or six for every election. But I’d like to get more. It’s something good to have on your resume – that you worked on the election,” she said. For more details, stop by the Town Clerk’s Office on the first floor of Town Hall and tell the town clerk or one of her assistants that you want to be part of the next town election. More potential candidates for town elections Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta and Selectman Jennifer D’Eon recently pulled candidate papers for their respective reelection runs. Chris Jones might be interested in running, too. Here are a few names of people who have pulled papers for a seat on the School Committee: Tom Whittredge, Darren Ring, Ryan Fisher, Joseph Dennis Gould and John Chipouras. Jim Tozza and Stephen M. Horlick are considering being candidates for Housing Authority seats. It will be interesting to see whether incumbent Mark Mitchell decides to run for another term despite being indicted by a Suffolk County grand jury on charges related to his alleged embezzlement of $1.3 million from the Boston Center for Adult Education, a Boston nonprofit that once employed him as its controller. Mitchell was absent from Wednesday night’s selectmen’s meeting. If this becomes a pattern, it could also become an inconvenience for applicants who might be uncomfortable going before a short-handed board, where four votes would be needed on a special permit. This might be something worth watching during the fall and leading up to the election. Stay tuned.

Page 10 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 16, 2019 Enhanced Google Maps, Lime integration sets sights on improving city commutes G oogle Maps will begin displaying available Lime scooters in over 100 cities around the world. On Android devices in the Google Maps app, users will be able to see if a Lime vehicle is available, how long it’ll take to walk to the vehicle and other info. In late August iOS availability for this feature will launch. In the Metro Boston area, Lime riders have taken close to a half million rides on its bikeshare program and over 60,000 rides on its scooter program. Lime bikes are available in Arlington, Bedford, Belmont, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Newton, Quincy, Watertown and Winthrop. Lime scooters are available in Brookline. “This integration will help unlock an even easier way to explore their cities and reduce commute times,” said Lime’s Director of Northeast Expansion, Scott Mullen. “Lime believes in the gift of time, and our scooters offer a convenient and fun way of cutting through MetroBoston congestion. We’re excited that this partnership with Google Maps provides the opportunity for Lime to connect people to their destination faster as scooters continue to become a core part of the transportation ecosystem in the Bay State.” If Lime vehicles are available, users will see them as an option from their biking, walking or transit tab if they’re traveling a relatively short distance. Google Maps will show information about the nearest Lime, such as if a Lime vehicle is available, how long it’ll take to walk to the vehicle, an estimate of how much the ride will cost, battery range, total journey time and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). Users can tap on a Lime in the Google Maps app, and Google Maps will show information about the selected vehicle. Finally, Google Maps will show a walking route to the selected Lime vehicle and bicycling route for the rest of the journey in the biking tab. “Whether you’re planning your daily commute or traveling to a new city, Google Maps is making it easier to weigh all your transportation options with real-time information,” said Google Maps’ Product Manager, Vishal Dutta. “In addition to showing you the best biking and transit route in Google Maps, you’ll now be able to see if Lime scooters or e-bikes are available, how long the trip will take, and the most efficient route to get there. From Stockholm to Sao Paulo, you can now use Google Maps to locate Lime scooters to get you to your destination.” Lime scooters first surfaced in Google Maps in December 2018, and the two companies expanded the partnership to 80 more cities in March 2019. Sens. Warren, Markey and Rep. Keating announce $2.5 million grant for Steamship Authority .S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey, along with U.S. Representative William Keating, recently announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has awarded the Woods Hole, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket Steamship Authority (SSA) a $2.5 U million grant to support the construction of a new ferry terminal in Woods Hole. DOT awarded the competitive grant through the Department’s Passenger Ferry Grant Program, which provides funding for projects that support passenger ferry systems in urbanized areas. “Investments in local infrastructure like the new ferry terminal in Woods Hole boost our local economy and improve the travel experiences of both residents and visitors,” said Warren. “This is great news for the Steamship Authority, our communities on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket, and for the thousands of visitors who travel to these historic islands every year.” “The ferry terminal is essential for addressing the transportation and other living needs of those on Martha’s Vineyard,” said Markey. “I congratulate Steamship Authority officials on securing funding that will assist as they work in concert with the needs of the Martha’s Vineyard and Woods Hole communities to modernize, expand, and improve ferry service to this beautiful home and destination.” GRANT | SEE PAGE 16

Page 12 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 16, 2019 Boston-based dance team Lil Phunk named USA’s best in back-to-back years Gold medalist at Hip Hop Dance Championship competition – Boston Celtics Junior Dance Team for 15 years LIL PHUNK GOLD MEDAL WINNERS: Shown performing, from left to right, are Aaron Connor, Mya Feliz, Julianna Fonzi (behind Mya), Dante Graziano, Giacinto Graziano (behind Dante), Synnae Fitzpatrick, Madyson Feliz, Damarea Morris and Matteo Graziano. P hunk Phenomenon Dance Complex announced that Lil Phunk (also known as the Boston Celtics Junior Dance Team), its hip hop dance crew of nine boys and girls ages seven to 12, received a gold medal for the second year in a row as the Junior Champions at the 2019 USA Hip Hop Dance Championship. In addition Lil Phunk received the highest score ever by a USA junior crew. The final event, which was attended by thousands of people, was held at the Arizona Grand Resort & Spa in, Phoenix, Ariz., on Saturday, August 10. Lil Phunk moved into the World Hip Hop Dance Championships and placed ninth in the World in an event that drew more than 4,000 dancers from 50 countries, all vying for the title of World Hip Hop Dance Champion in the junior, varsity, adult and other crew divisions. Now in its 17th year, the USA and World Hip Hop Dance Championships are produced by Hip Hop International. The competition has inspired the MTV show Randy Jackson presents America’s Best Dance Crew. Competitors demonstrated a two-minute routine and were required to incorporate several styles of street dance. They were judged on performance and skills. “This is the Olympics of hip hop dance and the skill level is unsurpassed. The Lil Phunk set themselves apart with their intensity, high energy and crowd-pleasing power moves,” said Phunk Phenomenon Dance Complex owner Reia Briggs-Connor, who is also its chief choreographer. “We are incredibly proud of all of our dancers.” She continued, “Successes like this one don’t just happen … To be back-to-back champions at this event is not an easy accomplishment and we are forever humbled and grateful to hold this title … These kids all come from all different communities and backgrounds, but find common ground in their passion for hip hop and breakdance. I hope their accomplishment will inspire other kids to try hip hop … My Lil Phunk Boyz were crowned World Champs in 2009 but this one may be a more sentimental victory as I lost my childhood dance teacher a little over a month ago and I was able to watch my nine-year-old son Aaron capture his second gold medal in his brother Jared’s honor.” This comes on the heels of the announcement that B-Boying (Breakdancing) will be introduced at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The 2019 results are as follows: Junior Division Bronze medal – Lil Supremes (San Diego, Calif.) Silver medal – Trouble Makers (Pasadena, Calif.) Gold medal – Lil Phunk (Boston) The Lil Phunk team is comprised of the following members: Aaron Connor, 9, of Saugus; Dante Graziano, 12, of Tewksbury; and his two brothers, Matteo Graziano, 9, and Giacinto Graziano, 8; Julianna Fonzi, 12, of Malden; Damarea Morris, 12, of Boston; Synnae Fitzpatrick, 12, of East Boston; Mya Feliz 12, of Chelsea, and her sister Madyson Feliz, 12.

Page 14 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 16, 2019 ASKS | FROM PAGE 1 thing to get kicked out. Q: So, what was the total? Is it more like the fewest? A: Yeah. Exactly. The less you get, the better you are. It’s like golf. Q: And the closest person, how many deficiencies did they get? A: Something like 11. Q: So, you were far and away the best of the pack. A: Yeah, they really don’t advertise what everyone else had. Q: So, you knew you were in the running, but you officially found out at the graduation ceremony? A: Yep. That was it. Q: What was the reaction of your colleagues? A: They were happy. Everyone that I talked to said I deserved it, so that was nice. And I had to go up and make an impromptu speech. Q: What did you tell them? A: I just said, “Thank you” and that I was happy to be there and that I had always grown up seeing my father be a firefighter, so it was something that I wanted to do for a long time, so I was glad to have the opportunity. Q: And now you are stationed at this station here [Essex Street]? A: I don’t know, permanently, where I am going to be. We’re still kind of filtering things out. I’ll find out pretty much what they tell me, just being the low man on the totem pole. Q: So, not much rest in between graduation (last Friday, Aug. 9) and now. A: No. We go right back into the 24-hour shifts, which is good. I’m happy to be done with the firefighting academy. Q: Please tell me a little bit about the 10 weeks and what that entailed. What was the biggest challenge of the academy experience? A: It’s both academic and practical training, so in the mornings, we go in and do 45 minutes to an hour physical training session, and then we have a few hours of lecture – all sorts of different subjects. We had a quiz every Monday morning, first thing, and then we do all sorts of practical evolutions. They have a burning building that we go into that has pretty much all different scenarios – a lot of ladder training, ropes and knots, car fires, natural gas fires. It’s a really nice campus setup that they have. I guess it’s one of the top ones in the country, so they have visitors from all over the place come out and see it. Q: And how many people in your class? A: I graduated in a class of 37. Q: So you’re the top of the 37. A: Yep. Q: You said you had two deficiency points. What were they? A: Ropes and knots. You have a time limit; they give you 15 seconds to tie this knot, so if you go over by so many seconds, you get one point. If you go over by even more, you get five points. Q: So, you weren’t quick enough in tying a knot? A: Nope, two of them. Q: So, that’s the only thing that kept you from a perfect score? A: Yep. Q: So, what kind of knot was it? A: One of them was tying a hose line. There are a couple of different knots you have to tie. And the other one, I think, was a figure eight on a bike. Probably the hardest part of the academy was just the heat. It’s pretty hot in July, but wearing all the gear in the heat and working in the fires makes it hotter. Q: About what temperature did it get up to, out in the sun with that equipment on? A: It was definitely in the 90s some days, and you’re basically wearing a snowsuit in July, so it gets pretty warm, along with the physical work you’re doing at the same time.

A: I just think the heat and the amount of sweating and the water that you have to drink to stay hydrated. It’s a challenge just not to get dehydrated at all. Q: What about generally – for all of the guys – what’s the biggest obstacle for every one of these 37: the most common challenge? A: I think the physical nature of it. We kind of underestimate how physically challenging it’s going to be. And they don’t go in there really prepared. And you have some people who get medically discharged because they get injured or they get sick – heat-related injuries. Q: So, time and pressure and how you respond to that … is that a big part of the challenge? A: Yes, that’s part of it. They try to apply pressure to you to see how you are going to respond to certain situations under pressure. It’s not so much a military thing, but it’s definitely an aspect of “you have to get it done now” and you have to do what they tell you. It’s a “yes sir, no sir” type of atmosphere. Q: And I guess some people can’t stand it. A: Yes, they have had some people quit. It’s definitely not for everybody. Q: And they try to apply as much pressure and see how much you can take? A: Yes. It was certainly more challenging than what I was expecting it to be. And I’m also 36, and a lot of the guys there are in their early-to-mid-20s. Q: So, that’s really something, to be within that range of ages and to come out on top. A: Yes. I feel pretty good; I feel like I kept up with them. I think I have a little more life experience because I’m older, but then my body is a little older. Q: Now, for the 10 weeks, you and the other four firefighters had some preparation going into this from Capt. [Christopher] Rizza? A: Yes. We did four weeks of training with Capt. Rizza when we got hired, and I think that is when you caught up with us last year, so that’s kind of like a miniacademy, where you go over most of the academic and some of the practical situations. Obviously, there is some stuff we can’t do because we don’t have the setup for it, but it definitely gave us a head start on things. But it’s a lot of bookwork. It’s a lot of homework. Q: During the 10 weeks, do you stay on the academy campus? A: No, you come home every night. Q: Did you have a certain regimen, like you are going to study for three or four hours with the books? A: Maybe not three or four hours, but you definitely study every night. I come home, and between the Firefighter 1 and 2 books and then the HAZMAT training book, it’s quite a bit of academics. Q: Is it sort of like taking the MCAS? A: I guess. It’s standardized testing. You have to maintain a 70 average to get through, and then you have to get a 70 or better on the final in order to graduate. Q: And what did you score? A: I think my average was a 95 for the entire academy, so I did pretty well. Q: And was that tops of everyone taking the tests? A: I think there might have been one other person with a higher academic average, but because I was better on the practical, I came out on top. Q: Your dad, a retired Saugus Fire Department captain, was there for your graduation? And of course, he would have been thrilled when learning that you placed tops in your class. A: Yes. He got to go on stage and present my certificate with Chief Newberry, so that was nice. Q: And what about the plaque for being the top student? A: That was awarded by the state Fire Marshal. Q: And I guess that’s quite an honor that a few Saugus firefighters have received over the years. A: Yep. Definitely. Q: As you proceed in the early stages of your career in the fire service, what do you look forward to? What direction would you like to go in, as far as your future? A: I plan to try to move up in the fire service. I enjoy learning different things and the challenge of it. I recently got my EMT as well. I am just going to keep taking classes and learning and hope that I can move up the ranks. Q: And become a captain, like your dad? A: That would be nice someday – yes – sometime down the road. Q: Or even higher? A: I don’t know. We’ll see what happens. Q: But you definitely want to be an officer. A: Yes, I definitely want to be an officer, eventually. Q: Some men and women prefer to stay firefighters, but you would like to show some leadership. A: I’d definitely like to move up. Q: Reflecting back over the 10 weeks, is there one single skill or discipline that you mastered that you think will come into play as you proceed with your career? A: I think that the live fire training was probably the best, because that’s something that you don’t get the opportunity to be able to practice very often, and it’s only in a place like that where they have the facilities for it. Q: So, what was that like? They set a building afire? A: They just had a three-story concrete building, and they stock it with pallets and straw, ASKS | SEE PAGE 15 Summer is Here!

You have to enter the building wherever they tell you and move the hose through. Most of the time, you can’t really see. You are always crawling on your hands and knees. It’s not exactly real-world training, but it’s as close as you can get with getting it. Q: So, there were stairs and stuff you had to climb? A: Oh yes. It’s a full-fledged building. It’s poured concrete. Q: And they set fire to wooden pallets and other stuff. A: Yes. They stage different things, so they have different scenarios. We’ll do four to six scenarios a day, then you have multiple fires in different rooms that you have to move through and coordinate fire attacks, so we have all different scenarios we’re working on different sides of the building. Q: Where there any kind of scenarios where you had to rescue somebody? A: Yes, we did some civilian rescue and we also do RIT Training, which is Rapid Intervention Team, so that would be to rescue a downed firefighter, and that’s always good stuff to learn. Q: So, what did you do to unwind and relax during a grueling 10 weeks?

Page 16 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 16, 2019 Edward M. Kennedy Institute adds new program series focused on bold civic change agents B OSTON – On August 12, the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate announced the Stone Social Impact Forum, a new signature series that highlights leaders who advance social change and innovatively address areas of inequality in society. The Stone Social Impact Forum will be an annual event held at the Institute made possible through the generosity of the James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Foundation. In partnership with the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, the Forum will be held in the Institute’s full-scale replica of the United States Senate Chamber. The forum is free and open to the public. “The Institute is grateful for the Stone Foundation’s generous support of this new initiative,” said Edward M. Kennedy Institute President Mary K. Grant. “Their investment enables us to highlight innovative approaches that community leaders are using to activate social change and address inequality in many forms.” The Stone Social Impact Forum debuts in 2019 on Tuesday, September 10, at 5:30 p.m. with innovative education leader Geoffrey Canada, who is the founder and president of Harlem Children’s Zone. He will deliver a keynote address sharing the journey of growth for Harlem Children’s Zone, and how equal access to a quality education is the cornerstone of a healthy democracy. Canada will also participate in a conversation around his theory of change, the importance of youth engagement, and his vision for how each person can positively contribute to his or her community and civic life. “We are enormously pleased to have Geoffrey Canada as the inaugural Stone Social Impact Forum speaker,” said Cathy Stone. “His lifetime of visionary leadership breaks barriers and crosses sectors in innovative ways. The story of Harlem Children’s Zone draws in civic education, community engagement, economic development, and many other elements that connect to the missions of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute and the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation.” Under Geoffrey Canada, Harlem Children’s Zone has become a national model that The New York Times called “one of the most ambitious social-policy experiments of our time.” Canada is also the author of two books: “Fist Stick Knife Gun: A Personal History of Violence in America” and “Reaching Up for Manhood: Transforming the Lives of Boys in America.” The Stone Social Impact Forum is the third signature program series offered at the Institute. The Getting to the Point series convenes individuals with diverse perspectives to discuss current issues and the challenges our government is facing. The Across the Aisle series brings together government leaders with disparate ideologies and from different political parties who are collaborating on a common cause. The Institute also offers several special programs, including those focused on women in leadership as well as programs specially designed for young children.

That is why I am proud to have worked with the Steamship Authority as it aggressively pursued this federal funding from the Passenger Ferry Grant Program. Their tireless work, and their continued cooperation with the Regional Transit Authority, ensure that when federal funding is available, we can demonstrate that we will put it good use in our community.” In June, Warren, Markey and Keating wrote to DOT’s Federal Transit Administration to express their support for SSA’s grant application. In their letter, they emphasized that funding the creation of a new ferry terminal in Woods Hole, where the current facility is almost 60 years old, will better accommodate vessel operations and ensure that the project is completed with minimal effect on SSA’s ratepayers, neighbors and the local economy.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 16, 2019 Page 17 Classic grand piano donated to Saugus Senior Center Music brings back good old days Cantor Ruben “Ben” Lagman (right) leads The Friendly Voices of the Senior Center on Tuesday afternoon alongside the new piano. (Advocate Photos by Tara Vocino) By Tara Vocino T he Saugus Senior Center got some new keys on Tuesday afternoon when a Lynnfield family donated a classic grand piano. Known as “The Friendly Voices of the Senior Center,” cantor Ruben “Ben” Lagman and pianist Lourdes Lagman made the donation. They also lead a weekly sing-along group from 1 to 3 p.m. every Tuesday. According to their daughter Marie Lagman, they purchased the piano to replace an older player piano. “For my mom, who is 83, it was getting harder to play it,” Lagman said. “But they continued to do it out of love.” The sing-along group began nine years ago and has now grown to more than 20 members. She feels the reason for that is likely because music from the 1950s reminds members of their spouse or of a special time in their lives. During the sing-a-long, seniors commented on their favorite songs, choosing from a songbook with more than DONATED | SEE PAGE 18 Award-Winning Landscaping Servicing the North Shore for over 38 Years During The Friendly Voices of the Senior Center sing-along on Tuesday, seniors Kathy Murphy, Gloria Johnson and Phyllis Perry commented on why a new piano was much needed.

Gloria Johnson of Saugus said the songs remind her of her mother, Beatrice, singing. “Music touches the soul,” Johnson said. “You can hear the music better with the new piano.” Her favorite songs include “Que Será, Será” by Doris Day and “Crazy” by Patsy Cline. Johnson’s friend Phyllis Perry, also of Saugus, said Lourdes plays the piano beautifully, especially on the new keys. “The new piano will help us to form a bond with each other,” Perry said. Kathy Murphy, of Lynn, said Lourdes was struggling to press down on the old keys and that everyone can relate to music with the right equipment.

Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates the number of roll calls on which each senator was present and voting and then calculates that number as a percentage of the total roll call votes held. That percentage is the number referred to as the roll call attendance record. In the 40-member Senate, 36 senators (90 percent) have 100 percent roll call attendance records. The senator who missed the most roll calls is Sen. Adam Hinds (D-Pittsfield) who missed 7 roll calls, (92.3 percent attendance record). “Sen. Hinds did miss seven roll calls on June 27, 2019 because he was appointed by the Senate president to attend the National Conference of State Legislatures’ Budget and Tax Academy in Washington DC,” said Bethann Steiner, Hinds’ chief of staff. Two senators missed one roll call each and have a 98.9 percent record: Sens. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) and John Keenan (D-Quincy). “I was unable to be present for a single roll call due to attending my brother’s U.S. Army Aviation graduation from Fort Rucker in Alabama,” Fattman told Beacon Hill Roll Call. “I was unable to be recorded in the first procedural roll call vote of the year because I was in Lesvos, Greece working in the Moria Refugee Camp at the time,” said Keenan … “Since then, I have maintained a 100 percent voting record on all legislation this session.” By tradition, Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) does not vote on most roll calls so her figures are not included. 2019 SENATORS’ ROLL CALL ATTENDANCE RECORD THROUGH AUGUST 9 The percentage listed next to the senator’s name is the percentage of roll call votes for which the senator was present and voting.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 16, 2019 Page 19 S by Jim Miller How to Help an Aging Parent with a Hoarding Problem Dear Savvy Senior, My 70-year-old mother has become somewhat of a hoarder. Since my father died a few years ago, her house is so disorganized and messy with stuff that it’s becoming a hazard. What should I do to help her? Troubled Son Dear Troubled, Clutter addiction is a problem that effects up to five percent of Americans, many of whom are seniors. The problems can range anywhere from moderate messiness to hoarding so severe it may be related to a mental health disorder like obsessive-compulsive disorder. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips and resources that can help your mom. Why People Hoard The reasons most people hoard is because they have an extreme sentimental attachment to their possessions, or they believe they might need their items at a later date. Hoarding can also be a sign that an older person is depressed or showing early symptoms of dementia. Common problems for seniors who live in excessive clutter are tripping, falling and breaking a bone; overlooking bills and missing medications that are hidden in the clutter; and suffering from the environmental effects of mold, mildew and dust, and even living among insects and rodents. What to Do To get a handle on your mom’s problem, the Institute for Challenging Disorganization offers a free “Clutter Hoarding Scale” that you can download off their website at ChallengingDisorganization.org. If you find that your mom has a moderate cluttering problem, there are a number of things you can do to help. Start by having a talk with her, respectfully expressing your concern for her health and safety, and offering your assistance to help her declutter. If she takes you up on it, most professional organizers recommend decluttering in small steps. Take one room at a time or even a portion of a room at a time. This will help prevent your mom from getting overwhelmed. Before you start, designate three piles or boxes for your mom’s stuff – one pile is for items she wants to keep-andput-away, another is the donate pile and the last is the throwaway pile. You and your mom will need to determine which pile her things belong in as you work. If your mom struggles with sentimental items that she doesn’t use, like her husband’s old tools or mother’s china for example, suggest she keep only one item for memory sake and donate the rest to family members who will use them. You will also need to help her set up a system for organizing the kept items and new possessions. Find Help If you need some help with the decluttering and organizing, consider hiring a professional organizer who can come to your mom’s home to help you prioritize, organize and remove the clutter. The nonprofit group National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals has a directory on the website at NAPO.net to help you locate a professional in your area. If your mom has a bigger, more serious hoarding problem (if her daily functioning is impaired, or if she is having financial difficulties, health problems, or other issues because of her hoarding) you’ll need to seek professional help. Antidepressants and/or talk therapy can help address control issues, anxiety, depression, and other feelings that may underline hoarding tendencies, and make it easier for her to confront her disorder. To learn more and find professional help see the International OCD Foundation which provides a hoarding center on their website (Hoarding.iocdf.org) that offers information, resources, treatments, self-help groups, and more. Also see HoardingCleanup.com, a site that has a national database of qualified resources including cleaning companies and therapists that can help. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
