Vogler S augus Board of Selectmen Chair Anthony Cogliano has scheduled a meeting for Sept. 20 to begin discussions on WIN Waste Innovations’ proposed deal to pay the town up to $18 million in return for permission to extend the life of its ash landfi ll 25 years. But the board’s Vice Chair, Debra Panetta, said she and her colleagues should wait until after a community meeting with Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) offi cials about the future of the ash landfill before considering WIN’s proposed Host Community Agreement (HCA). “We should wait for the Sept. 28 meeting so we can make an informed vote,” Panetta told The Saugus Advocate this week after Cogliano denied her request. “I feel strongly that it would be imperative and prudent that before taking on any vote that we listen to what the DEP says. I think we should wait until the fi rst meeting in October [Oct. 4] before discussing the Host Community Agreement,” she said. Cogliano said he has no plans for rescheduling the Sept. 20 meeting. “I’m not waiting for anyone,” Cogliano said, in response to Panetta’s request. “I’m the Chairman – not Deb. I’ll set the time and the agenda for our meetings and I will always do what’s in the best interest of Saugus,” he said. “If the DEP has a problem with plan A, I will be happy to deliver them plan B.” MEETING DATES | SEE PAGE 2 Collaborating for Saugus: Left to right: new Saugus Youth & Recreation Department Director Crystal Cakounes and Saugus Senior Center Director Laurie Davis are thrilled about their recent promotions.

Page 2 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, SEpTEmbEr 9, 2022 MEETING DATES | FROM PAGE 1 State Rep. Jessica Giannino (D-Revere), whose district includes Precincts 3 and 10 in Saugus, and state Rep. Jeffrey Turco (D-Winthrop), along with the Alliance for Health and Environment, are hosting a meeting set for 6 p.m. Sept. 28 in the second-floor auditorium of Saugus Town Hall at 298 Central St. The hosts have invited MassDEP officials to appear at the meeting to answer questions about the future of the landfill. Citizens may submit questions in advance to allianceforhealthenvironment@gmail.com. Members of the Landfill Subcommittee voted 5-1 with two abstentions in support of a motion to accept WIN Waste Innovation’s latest proposal and forward it to the Board of Selectmen. Cogliano, Selectman Corinne Riley, former Board of Health Member Joe Vinard, Precinct 10 Town Meeting Member Peter Delios and Saugus Fire Department Captain and Precinct 8 Town Meeting Member William E. Cross III all voted to support WIN Waste’s latest offer. Jackie Mercurio, a Saugus resident and local environmentalist who has been a vocal critic of the trash-to-energy plant, cast the lone opposition vote. Board of Health Chair William Heffernan and Health Director John R. Fralick III abstained from the vote. The deal is contingent on whether MassDEP permits the company to expand an ash landfill that is expected to meet its capacity by the end of 2025. Any HCA would also require input and backing from town officials, particularly the Board of Health. WIN Waste Innovation’s proposed HCA, if approved by the town and the state, would also require WIN Waste Innovations to: · Reduce NOx and other emissions below current permit limits in place at time of agreement that are protective of public health and environment · Conduct optimization testing to determine levels of additional NOx reductions · Fund the installation of one stand-alone ambient NOx monitoring station in Saugus · Request the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to update its 2016 health study of Saugus residents as it relates to the plant’s operations and the landfill · Provide $26,000 per year to fund an independent third-party consultant to inspect the waste-to-energy facility and monofil A major obstacle to any deal would be whether MassDEP would allow extending the life of the ash landfill. MassDEP Commissioner Martin Suuberg shared his concerns in a Nov. 16, 2021, letter to State Rep. Turco: “Any future proposals for expansion would require a modification to the facility’s site assignment and approval from MassDEP and the Saugus Board of Health. As the landfill is located within an ACEC, an expansion of the landfill (including vertical expansion) would need to meet the site suitability criteria in the Regulations with respect to the site assignment. While an applicant is free to propose a site assignment modification, and MassDEP will review information submitted, based upon the information presently before MassDEP, the facility fails to meet the necessary site suitability criteria to allow for expansion within the ACEC and therefore would not receive a positive site suitability determination. Without a positive site suitability determination from MassDEP, a proposal to amend the facility’s site assignment to allow for vertical expansion would not advance to the Saugus Board of Health for consideration.” 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut St. We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!

Vogler T here were 26 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases over the past seven days through Wednesday (Sept. 7), according to Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree. That’s four fewer new cases in town than reported last week by the state Department of Public Health (DPH), increasing the overall total to 9,813 confirmed cases, according to Crabtree. There have been more than 1,026 confirmed cases over the past 20 weeks (which averages out to 51.3) as the virus continues to hang around, causing some people to keep wearing masks at Town Hall even though they are optional. Meanwhile, the state reported no new COVID-19-related deaths in Saugus over the past seven days, as the overall total remained at 95 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.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, SEpTEmbEr 9, 2022 Page 3 Gene at Gillette Saugus Lions Club member Eugene Decareau is among 32 honored by the New England patriots Foundation By Mark E. Vogler E very true blue New England Patriots football fan can only dream about eating a lavish meal at a table set on the playing fi eld of Gillette Stadium, watching his name fl ash up on the scoreboard and going home with a Patriots football recognizing him as a “New England Community Champion.” Eugene Decareau was among 32 benevolent Patriots fans from Massachusetts who got to live that dream for real last week (Sept. 1). Decareau, 92, accompanied by his wife Arlene, attended as a representative of the Saugus Lions Club of which he’s been a member for 53 years. “Somebody from WIN Waste Innovations who I don’t know nominated me for my overall community action,” Decareau said this week. “I got a call a couple of weeks ago from somebody at WIN who said they were putting my name forward. I have no idea who it was. They asked me to prepare a list of organizations that I volunteered for over the years,” he said. In addition to the Saugus Lions Club, the community service list included 15 years as a cubmaster, 15 years as a Little League coach, 50 years on the YMCA Board of Directors (Greater Lynn & Saugus YMCA), 20plus years on the Saugus Retirement Board, membership on the Saugus Board of Directors of the Saugus Credit Union, membership on the Saugus Board of Appeals, a volunteer at the Saugus Food Pantry, a member of the Friends of the Saugus Senior Center and the Saugus Charter Commission and a Town Meeting Member. “Gene has been a champion for Saugus for decades,” Board of Selectmen Chair Anthony Cogliano said. “It’s nice to see him being rewarded for it. I can only hope to have that much energy at his age. God bless him,” he said. Decareau wasn’t planning on making his night in Foxboro public until after his photo was posted by WIN Waste Innovations on social media and mentioned at this week’s Board of Selectmen’s meeting. “It was a great meal – a combination of potatoes, fi sh and fi - let mignon, o’derbs before the meal and desert,” Decareau said. “The meal was marvelous and it was nice to be honored,” he said. Decareau and his wife look forward to celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary next month. And he will turn 93 in November.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, SEpTEmbEr 9, 2022 Page 5 Praiseworthy Promotions Selectmen applaud Crabtree on decision to make interim directors of youth & recreation Department and Senior Center permanent department heads By Mark E. Vogler A dogged search to fill key vacancies in town government in recent years has escalated into a major challenge for Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree and calls from elected officials to correct the situation. But Crabtree’s recent decision to promote two longtime town employees from interim department heads to permanent status this week drew high praise from all fi ve members of the Board of Selectmen. During a briefi ng at Wednesday’s (Sept. 7) meeting, Crabtree told selectmen that he had fi lled the director positions at the Youth & Recreation Department and the Saugus Senior Center. In an interview later, he confi rmed these appointments: · Crystal Cakounes as the new director of the Saugus Youth & Recreation Department. She has been serving nearly a year as interim director. Cakounes took over for Gregory Nickolas, 58, who was just a month continue to deliver the very best to our community. She has held almost every position at the center and is supported by all. I look forward to Laurie’s leadership and contribution in her new position,” Crabtree said. In his statement to the paper, he also mentioned his excitement at announcing the promotion of Cakounes as the Director of the Saugus Youth & Recreation Department. “Crystal started at the Y&R back in 2005 and has touched so many lives of our youth in Saugus,” Crabtree said.

Page 6 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, SEpTEmbEr 9, 2022 ~ Guest Commentary ~ Campaign Underway to Repeal New Law Allowing Driver’s Licenses for Undocumented/Illegal Immigrants By Salvatore Giarratani A new law (H.4805) that would allow undocumented/illegal immigrants to apply for a Massachusetts driver’s license is scheduled to start July 1, 2023. Voters will be headed to the polls on Election Day, November 8 so taxpayers, not Beacon Hill, can decide whether to repeal it or keep it. I was reminded about this important ballot question on November 8 after reading Beacon Hill Roll Call by Bob Katzen which runs in The Revere Advocate each week. This column is a great way to see just what our legislators up on Beacon Hill are doing in our name. The campaign to repeal the new law was steered by Maureen Maloney, whose son, Matt Denice, was killed by a drunk driver who did not have legal status in this country and illegally drove a motor vehicle. During the period that the petition drive was on, voters lined up in droves to sign the repeal voicing their opposition to the new law not even yet in eff ect. Opponents of the repeal campaign reportedly harassed and tried to prevent voters from signing the petition and in some cases forced local police to shut down volunteers from collecting more signatures. The other side obviously likes the new law that is coming if the voters don’t stop it on Election Day, November 8. One supporter of the new law, Elizabeth Sweet says, “The [law] keeps people safer by ensuring that all drivers, regardless of immigration status, know and follow the rules of the road, take the same driver’s test and have insurance when they need it.” Still trying to figure out what she means by “have insurance when they need it.” Isn’t the answer, all motor vehicles on the road need to be insured? I believe it is up to We the People of Massachusetts to decide if this new law is right for us. I do believe this new law could open the door to non-citizens voting. That is a real concern considering just how badly the RMV has performed of late, right? I trust voters will make the correct call in November. While the other side says, “We are disappointed that this unnecessary and divisive repeal question appears to be moving forward, we are more than determined than ever to defend the expansion of permission to apply for a driver’s license.” This ballot question is crystal clear who should or shouldn’t be able to apply for a MA driver’s license. Driving a motor vehicle in Massachusetts is not a right but a privilege. I didn’t say this, the Registry of Motor Vehicles states this. I am tired of those sob stories about illegal immigrants afraid to take their children to the doctor’s offi ce for fear of getting caught by the police. One fi nal question few want to answer. Does this mean that illegal or undocumented immigrants given driver’s licenses means that there will be no longer be unregistered or uninsured cars on the road? I was born at night but not last night. As the grandson of immigrants to this country, I am not anti-immigrant. Never have been. I am all for helping those who come here legally like my grandparents and the grandparents of many who are reading my words right here. We will need to fi nd a way to fi x our immigration policy because the status quo ain’t working out too well. However, driver’s licenses are not yet a top priority for most of us. Vote NO on driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants this November 8!

Coppinger will be reelected to his second six-year term. Because there will be no Republican challenger on the ballot for November, it also appears that Paul F. Tucker will become the next District Attorney of Essex County. The three members of the Saugus state legislative delegation – State Rep. Donald H. Wong (R-Saugus), State Rep Jessica Ann Giannino (D-Revere, who represents Precincts 3 and 10) and State Sen. Brendan P. Crighton (D-Lynn) – all have a lock on another two-yearterm as they will not face any ballot opposition in the Nov. 8 election. Governor’s Councillor Terrence W.

And soon after Davis became interim director of the Saugus Senior Center, he called on the town manager to appoint her on a permanent basis. “I think Crystal and Laurie were perfect hires as they’ve been doing the job already and are very well received in their roles,” Cogliano said. “I couldn’t be happier for both of them and the town.” Here are observations offered by other selectmen, when contacted by The Saugus Advocate: Board of Selectmen Vice Chair Debra Panetta: “I am delighted that Laurie Davis was promoted to Director at the Saugus Senior Center.

I wish them both luck and I know they will do a great job.” Both directors share their hopes for Saugus When interviewed at their offi ces this week, Cakounes and Davis each expressed passion for their respective jobs and added that they hoped to serve Saugus for many years before retiring. This is what I always wanted to do: just serving my community, doing the outreach and making sure our kids are safe and have something to do, Cakounes said. “But it is bittersweet, as I still wish Greg were here. I wish I were still helping him and giving him support. For 16 years, he taught me so much about life. A good part is about being a good person, staying positive, bringing your happiness to the community and having fun,” she said. “I would like to thank the Town Manager for giving me this opportunity. I learned so much from Greg through the years, and I am so blessed to be able to continue his work,” she said. Cakounes also credited the work of a coworker for her help over the past year. “I want to commend Emily Grant for stepping up into my former role. She is doing an amazing job as the Interim Programs Coordinator. We are both excited to work together and bring some new ideas and programs to the town,” she said. As the new director, Cakounes said, she plans to carry on with the same philosophy of the late Gregory Nickolas while attempting to deepen the role of Youth & Recreation in the community. “We’re trying to get more involved by partnering up with other community members on behalf of PROMOTIONS | SEE PAGE 13 Put Your Success To Work.

Page 10 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, SEpTEmbEr 9, 2022 The Sounds of Saugus By Mark E. Vogler See you Saturday at Saugus Center Normally, I find errands to get done over my weekend – or just relax while spending my time enjoying family, friends or fun pursuits. But I do plan to get up early tomorrow (Saturday, Sept. 9, to spend half of my day off in Saugus, enjoying the 41st Annual Founders Day. I have no special plans, but I look forward to catching up with friends and acquaintances I may have missed. I have traveled this country far and wide – to Nantucket, up to Maine and Vermont, down to Virginia and Florida and out to West Texas – covering a wide range of human interest and news stories in the course of 50 years. And I have to say that Saugus has a great tradition going on tomorrow that is somewhat unique in my travels. A lot of hard work from many people in the community went into making Founders Day the great event it is. I’ll be hanging out around the Saugus High Band’s Jail cell, hoping to get some photos of some of the local celebrities and politicos looking like jailbirds – all for a good cause. Have a great weekend! Grand Knights Banquet tonight The Saugus Knights of Columbus Council #1829 is hosting a Grand Knights’ Banquet today (Friday, Sept. 9.) The event will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall (57 Appleton St., Saugus) starting at 6 p.m. This event is to rec—Cont est— CONTEST SKETCH OF THE WEEK ognize all past Grand Knights, but it’s in special recognition of former Grand Knight Chris Luongo for his devotion to charity and the Saugus Community.

Charity is at the heart of everything they do. Everyone is welcome to attend this event! Tickets are $30 each. For more information, please call Richard at 781858-1117.

Rossetti Jr. of the Friends of Breakheart was optimistic this week about Breakheart Reservation hosting a fall festival on Oct. 1, as in past years – despite the fire that was burning. The state Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) has tree cutting crews set to go into the woods soon to remove the dead wood so that visitors will not be exposed to the danger of falling trees. “With any kind of luck, they hope to have it open pretty soon so people can enjoy the place,” Rossetti said this week. “The crews were supposed to be in there yesterday (Aug. 30) doing cleanup,” he said. Rossetti noted that most of the fire damage has been on the Wakefield/Main Street side of the park. Meanwhile, Rossetti said he’s confident that the fall festival set for Oct. 1 will not be canceled. “This will be the First Annual Breakheart Family Festival,” Rossetti said. “It had been called the Fall Festival in the past and it was something we had been going to for 20 years. It’s going to be the same idea, but they will do away with pumpkin-decorating, which DCR just doesn’t have the staff to do anymore,” he said. “DCR is downplaying the hands on arts and crafts decorating of pumpkins. We do expect face-painting, some music activities and games for kids to play. It will last from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 1.” Rossetti said he believes the festival will include a petting zoo and some nature exhibits featuring raptors and birds of prey. There will be a mounted unit, either from the State Police or the DCR. The festival will be cosponsored by DCR and the Friends of Breakheart. Legion breakfasts resume We received this announcement from Debra Dion Faust, the House Manager of Saugus American Legion Post 210: “At last night’s [Aug. 30] E-Board meeting it was decided that, when we reopen the breakfast at the American Legion for the 2022-23 season on Friday, September 9, with breakfast served from 8 - 9 a.m., we will need to raise the donation for it to $8 rather than $7 due to the great increase in the price of food. “I will be sending out an email to those of our guests who have signed onto a group emailing list laying this out, on Friday, September 2, but I thought you might want the information to include in The Advocate. (And thank you.)...” Even with the increase, this is welcome news for the folks who look forward to the Friday morning breakfasts at Legion Hall. Bon appétit! Saugus Historical Society meets next week The Saugus Historical Society’s first meeting of the fall will be on Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. at 30 Main St., the home of the Saugus Historical Society and Saugus Cable Television station. As is customary, the meeting is open to the public and you are not required to be a member to attend. Light refreshments will be served. Members of the Parson Roby Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will present a program on their organization, which has an emphasis of historical preservation. The national organization was formed in 1890 and is a lineage-based organization whose members can trace their ancestry back to the American Revolution. The original Parson Roby Chapter was very active in Saugus in the early to mid-twentieth century and was very instrumental in preserving the Appleton-Taylor-Mansfield House and the Saugus Iron Works site, which is now a national park, particularly due to the activism of M. Louise Hawkes, who was also president of Saugus Historical Society for approximately two decades. In the later twentieth century and the beginning of this one, the Saugus chapter was inactive until just a few years ago when the current group of ladies resurrected it. Their most visible recent activity may be the Wreaths Across America project, which had a large showing in our town this year, with wreaths being donated to many veterans’ graves and a moving ceremony at Riverside. A submarine near Saugus? Local author Stephen Wilk will talk about that unusual event on Sept. 15 at the Saugus Public Library. (Editor’s Note: The Saugus Public Library issued the following press release this week.) How did an S49 Submarine Get so Close to Saugus? Join us at the library on September 15 at 6:30 pm to hear the answer to that question from local author Stephen Wilk. Launched in 1921, Submarine S49 was built for the United States Navy but was eventually sold 10 years later to “Captain” Francis J. Chrestensen who turned it into a floating tourist attraction, for which he charged a 25-cent admission. THE SOUNDS | SEE PAGE 11

Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) representatives are scheduled to meet with town offi cials and concerned residents at 6 p.m. on Sept. 28 in the second fl oor auditorium at Town Hall for what is expected to be a discussion on the potential future of the ash landfi ll. The meeting comes at a time when WIN Waste Innovation offi cials have off ered to pay the Put Your Success To Work. town up to $18.8 million in return for using the ash landfi ll for another 25 years. A major obstacle to any deal would be whether MassDEP would allow extending the life of the ash landfi ll – which is expected to meet its capacity by the end of 2025. No winners this week It’s hard to believe that with all of the history buff s in town, nobody guessed correctly on last Friday’s sketch of a very visible monument to a long-departed Saugus hero that hundreds of drivers and pedestrians pass every day on Hamilton Street. Here’s the correct answer, offered by the person who goes by the name of The Sketch Artist: “Throughout Saugus there are many memorials honoring our true heroes. Last week’s sketch is from a sculpture of the Central Fire Station Memorial dedicated to Chief Mellon R. Joy. The sketch is of the sculpture of Chief Mellon R. Joy’s face. Have you seen this monument? Chief Joy’s memorial plaque is on a boulder surrounded by a beautiful array of fl owers which is quite a presentation. This is the same area where the explosion fi re almost a hundred years ago (87) earlier took his life. “Chief Joy was a Boston Firefighter Captain and he had become a Firefi ghter Chief to Saugus. On July 29th a day in 1935, Chief Mellon Joy showed up for duty, and on that fateful day there was a mortal fi re and chemical explosion. Chief Mellon R. Joy was mortally wounded, and lost his life from complications of the fi re and explosion July 31,1935. “Two of the other fi refi ghters – Norman Hull and Warren Newhall – who battled the fi res although severely injured and burned, survived. “‘The Statement’ And still they come, and they come with the pureness of people ready to risk their lives for someone else’ Jimmy Breslin is from the engraved words of Chief R. Mellon Joy’s Memorial Monument plaque. “What a majestic tribute for a deserving hero! “Thank you! “Yours Truly, “The Sketch Artist” “Shout-outs” to our everyday heroes We didn’t receive any nominations from readers this week. So, I will exercise my editorial prerogative to nominate all of the Saugus fi refi ghters, police offi cers and emergency response workers who put their lives and safety on the line every day to protect the public.

John Beach of St. John’s Episcopal Church wants to get the word out to Saugonians who might be interested in participating in a new book study, via Zoom videoconferencing. The book is “The Violence Project: How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic” by Jillian Peterson, PhD and James Densley, PhD. It’s the Winner of the 2022 Minnesota Book Award. According to the violenceproject,org, “Using data from the writers’ groundbreaking research on mass shooters, including fi rst-person accounts from the perpetrators themselves, The Violence Project charts new pathways to prevention and innovative ways to stop the social contagion of violence. “Frustrated by reactionary policy conversations that never seemed to convert into meaningful action, special investigator and psychologist Jill Peterson and sociologist James Densley built The Violence Project, the fi rst comprehensive database of mass shooters. Their goal was to establish the root causes of mass shootings and fi gure out how to stop them…” The Co-Founder and Managing Director of Sandy Hook Promise, Nicole Hockley, stated, “If you ever wondered how can we stop mass shootings, THE SOUNDS | SEE PAGE 12 Your next smart decision is what to do with your success.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, SEpTEmbEr 9, 2022 Page 13 Saugus Gardens in the Summer Here’s what’s blooming in town this week to make your walks more enjoyable By Laura Eisener A lex Manoogian has more trees in his Lynnhurst yard than most of us, but they cast very little shade. He is a grower of bonsai trees. Some of his works of art are so small as to fit on the porch railing, while others are in large containers and occupy areas several feet across. You might think in looking over his collection that he had been doing this for decades, but in fact he and his sister got started at the beginning of the pandemic. Alex had seen bonsai trees in the Topsfield Fair and other exhibitions and admired them, but the changes of activities 2020 demanded opened up time to pursue some new projects. After taking classes at Bonsai West in Littleton and New England Bonsai Gardens in Bellingham, he has developed his skills. He won a blue ribbon for one of his little trees at the Topsfield Fair last year. He is now president of the Northeast Bonsai Association, which meets at the Topsfield fairgrounds and encourages its members to learn more about bonsai and share their interest and experiences with each other. The trees in Alex’s yard are extremely varied. He has classic bonsai subjects like juniper and pine but has also been experimenting with woody plant species that I have never before seen made into bonsai – such as oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) and lantana (Lantana camara). Some of the trees in his garden are in early stages of training while others are well established plants older than he is. An example of the latter is a silverberry (Eleagnus commutata) that was started by bonsai master Mr. Hatanaka around 1950 and maintained for many years by Bonsai West before Alex acquired it. Another very impressive specimen is a ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) of uncertain age which has an extremely ancient and windswept appearance that Alex has emphasized by carving, PROMOTIONS | FROM PAGE 9 the town’s youths. We’re just trying to keep the kids happy and safe,” she said. One of those partners in new programs that involve the town youths may be the Saugus Senior Center. “I want to collaborate with Crystal and do intergenerational programs,” Davis said in an interThis forest-style bonsai display by Alex Manoogian features native American larch trees and mosses grown on flagstone rock layers he glued together himself.

It’s hard to pick favorites in such a varied collection, but one which appealed to me particularly is a forest planting of nine American larch trees (Larix laricina) Alex started from tiny seedlings and planted on some broken flagstones he glued together to create the appearance of rock outcrop. He carefully planted native moss around the trees and added a handful of peastone in one area, so the finished scene is a miniature landscape with intriguing landform and trees of varying heights. Alex particularly likes developing bonsai specimens from North American native species. American view. “Our outreach worker, Cheryl Roberto, wants to bring back the pen pal program, pairing up grade school children with seniors. And eventually we’d love to extend the program to the local nursing homes because they’re residents of Saugus,” she said. “Before COVID-19, we had kids come up on holidays larch is a deciduous conifer – its needles turn color and then drop in the fall, like the weeping European larch (Larix decidua ‘pendula’) in the circle at Cliftondale – and soft new needles emerge in spring. This year’s Topsfield Fair runs September 30 until October 10. At least one of Alex’s bonsai, a beautiful Japanese garden juniper (Juniperus procumbens nana), is being groomed for entry into the fair this year.

She is a member of and read poems and sing songs. We’d love to be able to bring back some of the old programs and new ones,” she said.

(Advocate photos by Greg Phipps) By Greg Phipps T he Saugus High School boys’ soccer team put forth an impressive season-opening effort Wednesday by blanking their Northeastern Conference foe the Winthrop Vikings, 4-0, at the Christie Serino Jr. Athletic Complex. The Sachems earned five wins all of last season but WednesFOUNDERS DAY | FROM PAGE 4 which features “vendors, food carts, games for kids, art sales, and information booths set up by community organizations and businesses. “Theatre Company of Saugus always participates. There will be a TCS info booth, featuring raffles, games, and information. Several fantastic raffle prizes will be awarded. Purchase tickets at the TCS booth. “Need costumes for Halloween? We have them for sale at our table!” TCS will also perform selections from its shows on the steps in front of Town Hall. This year the group will feature the kids from the Youth Theatre Workshop this summer performing selections from “Willy Wonka JR.” and “The Addams Family young@ part.” There will also be a preview of “Zombie Prom”! The performance time is 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Saugus Youth & Recreation Director Crystal CakSaugus’s Melvin Hernandez went on the offensive on Wednesday. day’s showing gave the impression that this year’s squad could very much exceed that total. With a team roster of just under 30 players, this year’s head coach Guillermo Sepulveda appears to have enough resources to make Saugus a potential conference contender. The Sachems will likely face stiffer tests when they travel to play Gloucester on Friday and Masconomet next Monday, Sept. 12. ounes said she expects there will be about 90 individual booths set up on both sides of Central Street. “A lot of residents will be coming to sell handmade items – jewelry, wreaths and wooden crafts,” Cakounes said. “It will be a chance for people to do some early Christmas shopping. My favorite thing is getting Saugus-made stuff. I’m such a diehard Sachem. I love it when the various groups are selling their merch [merchandise]. “ There will be lots of fund-raising going on. Whatever you buy or the games you play for fun, it goes to a great cause: local organizations, youth and sports groups.” Cakounes said “Jail For Bail” is back by popular demand. The Saugus High Band will have a makeshift jail cell set up to incarcerate town and school officials until they find somebody to make a financial contribution to the band to pay for their freedom. The Saugus High Class of Saugus took control of Wednesday’s contest pretty much from the get-go. Owning the territorial play, the Sachems opened the scoring less than five minutes into the game when junior Max Anajjar made a nice ball fake to produce an open shot from the right side. His boot landed in the net for a 1-0 lead. It became 2-0 when senior co-captain Brian Pineda beat the Winthrop goalie to a loose ball in the crease and managed to push one home. Just 2024 (Juniors) will raise money with its “pie in the face” booth. And the Saugus High Senior Class of 2023 will have a dunk tank set up so contributors can throw softballs at a target to make a metal chair collapse, sending one of the seniors into the chilly water. “There’s plenty of neat stuff going on,” Cakounes said. “St. John’s Church will be doing an Ice Cream Social inside the church. The North Shore Bank will have a booth for doing caricatures. The Drama Club will do face-painting,” she said. A wooden stage is already set up at the bottom of the steps of Town Hall – where several local dance studios, theatre companies and singers will perform. “You will be happy to know that the drummer may return to Founders Day this year,” Cakounes said, referring to Gino Figliola, of Haverhill – who started coming when he was a nine-year-old in 2015. His mother, Brenda Figliola, is a former Saugus resident and Saugus’s Jefferson Rocha attacked the net as the Winthrop goaltender awaited an incoming kick. minutes later, Anajjar knocked in his second tally to increase the advantage to 3-0. Having built a three-goal cushion with the game less than 20 minutes old, Sepulveda was able to substitute more freely and give much of his roster valuable playing time. The visiting Vikings had difficulty producing any offensive thrust, as the Sachems were able to pin them in their own zone for most of the day. Taking their 3-0 lead into halftime, the Sachems added one more goal in period two when sophomore Isaac Cesco tallied to account for the final margin. The next home game for Saugus is against Salem next Wednesday, Sept. 14 (scheduled 4 p.m. start). This year’s team has three captains: Pineda, Melvin Hernandez, and Alejandro Ortega. Despite winning just five games last season, the Sachems still had a shot at a playoff berth in the final week. A postseason bid looks like an even more realistic possibility in 2022 A view of the booths set up in front of Saugus Town Hall during last year’s Founders Day.

She has been recognized as the organizer or founder of Founders Day. Gould called the awarding of “Person of the Year” awards as the marquee event which captivated community pride. A summary of the award notes that each presentation is made “In recognition of their dedication to the Town of Saugus. This award truly exemplifies the outstanding spirit of our Founding Fathers.” FOUNDERS DAY | SEE PAGE 16

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, SEpTEmbEr 9, 2022 Page 15 Two Saugus residents escape fatal crash on Lynn Fells Parkway in Melrose A t 11:30 p.m. last Sunday (Sept. 4), Massachusetts State Police responded to a multiple-vehicle crash on Lynn Fells Parkway in Melrose that resulted in a fatality. A preliminary investigation indicates that a 2015 Mercedes CLS sedan was westbound on the Parkway and traveling at high speed. At the same time, a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta with two occupants was eastbound on the Parkway. The investigation also determined that the westbound Mercedes crossed into the eastbound side of the road, where it struck the Jetta. Following that impact, the Mercedes veered left and struck a tree, then hit two unoccupied SUVs parked in the driveway of a home on Lynn Fells Parkway and rolled onto its side. Police said a 41-year-old Randolph man who was driving the Mercedes was determined to be deceased at the scene. His name is not being released pending confirmation of nextof-kin notification. The occupants of the Jetta, a 61-year-old Saugus woman and a 46-yearold Saugus man, suffered minor injuries and were transported to MelroseWakefield Hospital. The crash resulted in the roadway being closed at the crash site for four hours. The facts and circumstances of the crash remain under investigation by the State Police-Medford Barracks, the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section. The troopers were assisted by Melrose firefighters, EMS and police.
