SOUNDS | from page 8 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 16, 2019 The Giggles Comedy Club educational and worthwhile on Tuesday, Nov. 5, when Saugus holds its town elections? 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.

Saugus over coffee, anyone? Back during several stints covering local politics in Lawrence, I would organize neighborhood groups into several coffee klatches, where the residents would talk about major issues in their respective parts of the city. These were very popular sessions, as they would empower city voters to discuss issues on their mind SOUNDS | SEE PAGE 13 Lawnmower Tune-Up and Repairs • We repair all makes & models! • Authorized • FREE PICK-UP for all Tune-Ups! all m • We r d K-U makes & mo ma akes & mo D KU for all Tun UP fo 1039 Broadway, Revere • (781) 289-6466 Biker’s Outfitter (781) 289 , ee (8) 89 www.bikersoutfitter.com WE WORK FOR YOU! * Have your car repaired by Real Manufacturer Certiified Technicians * An I-CAR GOLD CLASS SHOP Highest Certificate in the Repair Industry * Premier Insurance Co.
