Damian Drella reflects on his personal connection to the 9/11 attacks on New York City Published Every Friday 781-233-4446 Friday, September 13, 2019 Wheelabrator gets preliminary state approval on Emission Control Plan Public Hearing set for Oct. 15 in Saugus By Mark E. Vogler T he state Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) has issued a draft approval to Wheelabrator Saugus, Inc., on its pending application to update its existing Emission Control Plan (ECP). Meanwhile, the agency has scheduled a public hearing at Saugus High School at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 15 to give the public a chance to comment before the plan is adopted. “Wheelabrator has received the draft approval from DEP and is reviewing it,” Wheelabrator spokesman Paul Halloran said yesterday. The highly technical 31-page draft released by MassDEP provides emission and compliance schedules for the control of certain pollutants emitted from the Wheelabrator trash-to-energy plant on Route 107. Many local officials in Saugus and Revere have already expressed concerns that the new regulations may be less restrictive that what would be allowed at new plants. “At first glance, it seems as though the DEP is signaling their approval to Wheelabrator to skirt these new emissions standards by using alternative methods,” State Rep. RoseLee Vincent (D-16th Suffolk) said in a statement this week. “As the State Representative for many who live less than a half mile from Wheelabrator, I find it unfathomable that the MassDEP could even entertain such a proposal,” said Vincent, whose district includes two precincts in Saugus. “The DEP has once again failed in its core mission of protecting the environment and the health and safety of the people that I represent. I urge my constituents to attend the public meeting in Saugus on October 15th to voice their concern about this decision,” she said.

Page 2 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, September 13, 2019 ASKS | from page 1 Editor’s Note: For this week’s interview, we sat down with Saugus Fire Department Lt. Damian Drella to talk about how his life was affected by the events of Sept. 11, 2001. Drella, a 28year veteran of his hometown fire service, was among the local firefighters who traveled to New York City to help in the early days after two commercial airliners hijacked by terrorists flew into the World Trade Center towers, destroying the landmark of the city’s financial district and causing the deaths of 2,763 people. He also had a friend who was one of 343 New York City firefighters who died that day. Lt. Drella grew up in town and is a 1985 Saugus High School graduate – one of three members of that year’s class who are top officials in the Saugus Fire Department; his classmates included Lt. William Cross III and Capt. Thomas Nolan. Drella worked as a dispatcher for three years before he was hired as a Saugus firefighter in December 1991. He and his wife, Andrea, have two sons: Alex, 30, a paramedic in Lowell, and Christian, 25, who graduated recently from EMT school. $3.39 $2.40 GALLON GALLON We accept: MasterCard * Visa * & Discover Price Subject to Change without notice 100 Gal.

Many of Drella’s photographs of fires and accidents have been published in The Saugus Advocate and other local newspapers. He is a life member of the Charlesgate Yacht Club in Cambridge. Highlights of this week’s interview follow. Q: Damian, what did you think about when you got up this morning, on the 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks? Do you have a lot of reflection on the events that happened? A: Yes, I do remember it. One of the sayings that we have – “You always remember – you never forget.” A lot of people, Lawrence A.

And, I think, like the ceremony that we had this morning, we try to carry it on. A lot of the firefighters that are working today … they are in their 20s and some of them were little kids at the time. At coffee this morning, one of the firefighters asked, “Where were you on September 11, 2001?” And one kid says, “I was in junior high school – I was in eighth grade.” I’m saying to myself, “My Goodness … in 2001, I was a firefighter for 10 years at that point in my life.” I had two young children that were in school that day. I wasn’t on duty that day as a firefighter. I was working my part-time job, but I was on the road, locally, and the story broke on the news. And I was near a television and they started showing live footage of what was going on. And being a firefighter, I saw what was happening and I said, “This is bad.” I have a lot of friends in FDNY. I got to New York City on a regular basis. I have friends in New Jersey and New York City. I spend a lot of time there, before I was a firefighter and still to this day. I was down there this past Labor Day weekend. So, I knew the magnitude of it. I saw what was happening and I said, “This isn’t good.” Nowadays, you can actually listen to the radio traffic for New York City live on the internet now. Back then, I don’t think you could at the time, so it was tough to get real-time information on what was happening. Watching it unfold on TV, I knew the seriousness of it. And the company that I was working for at the time (and I still do as a parttime job) – I was doing deliveries at the time, and they called us back to the shop, and they said, “Why don’t you get out of the shop? They’re evacuating the high-rise buildings in Boston. They don’t know if anything is going to happen. They don’t know what’s going to happen next.” And I said, “What about my children?” Everybody was going home early from school. And they said, “Alright, don’t work anymore – go home.” Luckily, the elementary school where our kids attended was right next to our house, so I came home early. Everybody came home. I remember having everybody at home that day and watching it unfold on TV. I knew the scope of it, once the buildings collapsed; I said there are hundreds of firefighters in and around that building, and I knew it was not going to be good. Q: So, what was your role at the time? And at what point did you decide you were going to go down there to New York City? A: As far as my role … we didn’t know what was going to transpire, so my part-time job that I was working on September 11, 2001 … we work with radios, communication equipment. Because they lost so much communications equipment in New York City, things were in disarray and they needed extra equipment, so at the company where I worked my part-time job, we arranged through the Boston Fire Department union to bring down radio equipment – spare radios, spare batteries, equipment and just said, “Here … if you guys can use this stuff, take it.” EMISSION CONTROL PLAN | from page 1 ment is currently reviewing the draft decision that was released Wednesday by MassDEP. Peter Manoogian, a Saugus resident and longtime critic of the Wheelabrator facility, called the DEP “an oxymoron.” “It’s supposed to be Department of Environmental Protection, but they are allowing this incinerator that’s been operating for 50 years to continue to operate at standards that would not be allowed for plants operating anywhere else,” Manoogian said. “Whatever they want, they can get from the Baker Administration or DEP. This plant is beyond its useful life. But the DEP is lowering the operating standards,” he said. Back in December, selectmen submitted a letter to MassDEP, objecting to the new ECP filed by Wheelabrator. Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta protested at the time that Wheelabrator “does not want to adhere to the required emission standards that the DEP has imposed.” She noted that So that is how I ended up going down to New York. I think it was late September 12 or 13th. I couldn’t remember, but I went down for a couple of days with a number of employees from the shop. Q: And what was the name of the company? A: ALL-COMM Technologies in Revere, Mass., where I have worked part-time now for over 25 years. Q: Okay, so you volunteered to go down there. A: Yep. I said, “I know the layout.” I’ve been in the World Trade Center. I’ve been on the plaza. I know where it is and the fire station. They call it Ten House. In New York City, it’s Engine Company 10 and Ladder Company 10, right across the street from the World Trade Center site. Q: Did you know any of the guys that worked there? A: I did not know any of the guys who worked in Station 10, but I did know some of the guys that passed away on September 11. Some of them were from up here [Massachusetts]. We took the FDNY entrance exam back in the day, and they got hired and I didn’t. And I’m alive and they’re not, so September 11 has a deep meaning for me. As far as what I did post that day … I did a little support, but I wasn’t on the pile, digging at Ground Zero. I didn’t get involved with that. I was there for support and logistics and stuff like that. I got to see some pretty bad stuff, as far as upside down cars. I can’t speak from being in a military war zone, but that’s the only way to express it, because it looked like ASKS | SEE PAGE 5 Wheelabrator was seeking less restrictive standards because its trash-to-energy incinerator is one of the oldest plants in the country and meeting today’s standards is too costly. But James Connolly, Wheelabrator’s Vice President of Environmental, Health and Safety, defended the plan submitted by Wheelabrator. “The wasteto-energy industry is among the most stringently regulated in the world. Wheelabrator Saugus complies, and will continue to comply with the current emissions standards the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) deems safe,” Connolly said last year. “Our facility operates in compliance with all regulations established by MassDEP as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These limits are not a choice, they are mandatory and a base requirement, and Wheelabrator continues to be in compliance,” he said.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, September 13, 2019 Page 3 Saugus remembers 9/11 tragedy in Fire Station Ceremony F or about eight minutes Wednesday morning, active and retired members of the Saugus Fire Department gathered in front of several fire trucks parked in the open bays of the Hamilton Street Fire Station. They paused for prayer, reflection and remembrance for the more than 3,000 men, women and children who died on Sept. 11, 2001, in the terrorist attacks. In particular, they remembered the 343 firefighters who died responding to the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers in New York City after they were hit by two hijacked commercial airliners. “Although it’s only been 18 short years, the events of that day are still vivid in our thoughts and heavy in our hearts,” Deputy Fire Chief Thomas D’Eon, Jr. said. “It’s our duty to remember the loved and lost and those lef 2001,” D’Eon said. Firefighter Greg Cinelli sounded the bell set atop of a lectern that was set up for the solemn ceremony. The four rounds of fives signaled that everyone had returned to quarters. There was a moment of silence for the fallen heroes of 9/11. Retired Fire Captain Bill O’Malley read a prayer he had prepared, and Firefighter Sean Bohannon recited “The Firefighter’s Prayer.” SOUNDING THE BELL: Firefighter Greg Cinelli, right, sounds the bell, signifying that all firefighters had returned home.

For over 20 years she has taken upon different roles in retail banking and deposit operations at Fleet Boston Financial in Boston and Bank of America in ASKS | from page 2 a war zone. It looked like Berlin in World War II … buildings blown up, on fire … things upside down, covered in dust, windows blown out of stores and desolate, nobody around for blocks and blocks. And I’ve spent a long time in New York over my lifetime, and you don’t see a situation where there’s nobody on the street – but you did back then. Q: Did you get to go into St. Paul’s Chapel, the church near Ground Zero that miraculously survived? A: No. We didn’t go in, but we were in the street around it. That became an unofficial memorial. What really touched me in the days following that – all the photos and messages that people left on the fence around the church. People were looking for loved ones; they didn’t know whether they were dead or alive, or transported to a hospital. All those letters – that was one of the things that stuck with me. Q: So, prior to September 11, 2001, you had applied to the New York City Fire Department. A: Yes, I did, myself and a few friends, back in our late teens or early 20’s; I went down and I took the entrance exam. I believe I was a Saugus firefighter at the time, so I believe it was post-1991. I don’t know the exact year, but I’m guessing it was ’92 or ’93. I mailed in my application and got a letter back from the City of New York saying I had been accepted for the exam, so I drove down for the weekend and took the written test. I passed the written exam and they invited me back for the physical. I did well and I passed it, but I was at a slight disadvantage, because at the time I was not a New York City resident. They give preference to the people from New York, which is understandable, and I agree with that. So I was on the West Newton. Recently, she was an Assistant Vice President/Branch Manager at Eastern Bank in Saugus. Phoebe is an alumnus of The Partnership, Inc., Conexión’s Advancing Latino Leadership program and the New England School for Financial Studies (Babson College) Bank Executive program. She has been very active in the Saugus community and looks forward to continuing her participation. Phoebe was a member of the Saugus Rotary Club from 2009-2017. During her tenure list to get hired. They had hired a lot of firefighters ahead of me, and the list expired right before they got to the group where I was, so I never got hired. Q: But a couple of your friends got hired? A: Yeah, a couple of my friends got hired, and a good friend of mine – his name was Gerard Dewan – Jerry Dewan; he was from Peabody. We used to hang around when we were teenagers … he used to come and visit me when I was a dispatcher. He used to come by, drink coffee and we’d hang out a bit. Before I was a firefighter, we used to say, “Man, wouldn’t it be great to get on a fire department in a big city like Boston or something like that, or even New York.” I said I was planning on taking the exam and giving it a shot. To make a long story short, we both took the test. I think he may have taken it more times than I did. I took it once. They never got to me. I got hired in Saugus. I was happy. I had young children; I didn’t want to uproot them and move to New York City. I said, “You know what – I’m so fortunate that I got hired in the town that I grew up in. I like this and I’m not going to try to go somewhere else.” But he didn’t have a family at the time, so he took it [the exam] again, and eventually he got hired. Q: And he was one of the victims. A: He was one of the victims. He was a firefighter on Ladder 3 in Manhattan. He and his crew died on September 11. … When we were young, we aspired to be firefighters. I always remember Jerry. Every time I go down to New York and go by a monument or a plaque that has the names, I always go and look for his name. I just give it a little rub every time I go down [to New York]. Q: And you thought of him today? A: Oh, absolutely – absolutewith the club, she was a board member and took on the leadership role of Vice President of the club. Phoebe speaks English and Spanish fluently. She looks forward to her new role as a Residential Lending Officer and is ready to assist you with your lending needs. Phoebe is working out of EBSB’s Saugus Center Office and can be reached at 857-5241052 or phernandez@ebsb.com. Founded in 1848, EBSB is a Phoebe Hernandez East Boston Savings Bank Residential Loan Officer ly. I thought of him last night. On social media, everybody starts posting pictures of this guy and that guy. Here we go again, it’s Year 18. Q: Any other firefighters that you knew who were victims at the World Trade Center? A: Remotely – Jerry was probably my deepest connection to that day. Q: Did you know he was already gone when you went down to New York a couple of days after September 11? A: No. I had no idea that he was working that day. I know that there were some guys who were on vacation; they were New York City firefighters on vacation with their families and they couldn’t get back to help. I can’t imagine not knowing whether your crew was dead or alive and you can’t get there to help. Q: So, how long was it before you learned your friend had passed?

During the open session, the Board Chair stated that the board had a discussion with its attorney before the meeting. Prior to entering the scheduled executive session, the Board Chair stated the Board needed to confer with counsel, consider the comments it had received during the show cause hearing, and if need be hold Wheelabrator accountable. He then entertained a motion to enter executive session for the purpose of further discussion.” In his complaint filed on Aug. 30 against the Board of Health, Richmond cited the following violations: The board improperly discussed substantive issues with its counsel in private before the public meeting. This discussion was not properly noticed to the public nor was an executive session for this discussion voted upon in public session. The meeting notice called for a “discussion concerning legal options” in executive session. However, the Attorney General has repeatedly determined that consideration of legal options is not sufficient cause to deliberate in executive session. The Open Meeting Law does not shield legal discussion from public view. The litigation purpose exemption in the Open Meeting Law (purpose 3) didn’t apply because litigation was not pending or imminently threatened. And it wasn’t likely, considering the range of options being considered. The board did not conclude in the public session that public discussion would have a detrimental effect on the Board’s litigating position. The Board has recently taken action on unrelated litigation with Wheelabrator by appealing a permitting decision of the Superior Court without a discussion in public session. If the Board discussed that appeal in the 8/5/19 executive session, that discussion would have not been properly noticed to the public. “To cure these errors of law,” Richmond requested that the Board make public its full minutes of the August 5, 2019, executive session and also prepare and make public minutes of the discussion it had before the public discussion on August 5, 2019. Board of Health Chair William Heffernan would not comment on the complaint filed by Richmond, of the Boston law firm of Beveridge & Diamond, P.C. The complaint was on the agenda to be discussed at Monday’s (September 9) Board of Health meeting. “This needs to be discussed in an executive session,” Heffernan said when the item came up for discussion. “On the advice of counsel, he’s advised us to table,” Heffernan said, referring to Attorney George Hailer, special counsel to the Town of Saugus on Environmental Affairs. Hailer showed up for Monday’s meeting, but left after conferring with Heffernan. The Board of Health must meet to review the complaint within 14 business days (usually 20-22 calendar days). After its review, but within 14 business days, the board must respond to Wheelabrator in writing and must send the company a response and a description of any action it has taken to address the complaint. The board must also send the state Attorney General a copy of its response. The Board of Health requested representatives of Wheelabrator Saugus, Inc. to appear at last month’s show cause hearing to explain why the operation of the company’s trashto-energy plant allegedly violated noise and air pollution regulations for a period in June and July. Board members said it would take a month before deciding whether to take any enforcement action against Wheelabrator. But the board has no meeting scheduled until November.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, September 13, 2019 Page 7 Finance Committee will consider articles for Special Town Meeting, set for Sept. 23 T he Finance Committee will review three articles totaling more than a million dollars to improve the operations of Saugus Saugus Cable TV when it members meet next Wednesday (Sept. 18) at 7 p.m. in the first floor conference room at Saugus Town Hall. One of several articles on the warrant for a Special Town Meeting set for Sept. 23 would provide $550,000 to build a PEG (public, education and government) Access studio/facility in Saugus. Current plans call for SCTV to move into the Saugus Historical Society building at 30 Main St., once it vacates its current quarters at the back of the existing Saugus High School, which is set to be demolished next year. Representatives of the Saugus Historical Society and Saugus Cable TV have been talking about mutual arrangement that would satisfy the needs of both groups since last summer. ASKS | from page 5 A: It was less than a week – less than a week that the information trickled back that he was gone. It was tough to get information quickly back then. With the internet and social media, now you know things instantly; back then it took a little slower to find things out. I went to several funerals in the following two years after that. I made a few trips down there. You make as many as you can, but you can’t get to all of them. There were over 300 firefighters. At one point, they were having maybe four, five or six funerals a day. Q: What’s the thing you remember most about that day? A: When I think of that day, I think of how quickly it escalated … the magnitude of it. At first you think, my goodness, a plane crashed in New York City, which isn’t uncommon. It doesn’t happen every day, but it’s happened before. I think there was a World War II plane that crashed right into the Empire State Building. A B-52, I think. So it happens. But this was significant. When the second plane hit, you kind of thought something was up. It felt like, “What’s next?” And, of course, other things happened: with the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. I actually watched a show last night – a remembrance of the day’s events. To get your head wrapped around everything that went on that The Special Town Meeting is set to convene at 7:30 p.m. in the second floor auditorium that n night (Sept. 23) to vote on two other SCTV-related articles -- one of them a $275,000 request to buy equipment for the studio. A third article seeks $215,088 for the operating budget of the PEG Access studio. All of the funds would come from the PEG Access Enterprise Fund and distributed under the authority and direction of the Board of Selectmen. The funds constitute the money received from ratepayers under the current Cable Television Renewal License Agreement and held in the enterprise fund. In addition to the three articles related to SCTV, the Special Town Meeting will consider a fourth measure proposed by Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree to appropriate money to replace air conditioning units in the Public Safety Building and Town Hall. day, it’s tough. Who knows whether the fourth plane that was supposed to be headed to Washington that day was going to the White House or the Capitol? The jury is still out on that. But I always think of the magnitude of that day and how quickly things escalated from “Oh boy, a big fire in New York City,” which isn’t uncommon. Those guys deal with some pretty big stuff. Any big city does. … And then to watch this unfold and think of the tremendous amount of resources and things that needed to be done to deal with two skyscrapers ASKS | SEE PAGE 10 A.B.C.

Page 8 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, September 13, 2019 Baker-Polito Administration proposes tax relief measures, major deposit in rainy day fund B OSTON – On September 6, the Baker-Polito Administration filed legislation to provide tax relief to Massachusetts residents and make a major deposit in the Stabilization Fund to bring the fund balance to $3 billion, the highest balance ever. These proposals are part of a $651 million supplemental budget bill that mandates investments in a wide range of areas, including infrastructure, education and support for cities and towns. “The Commonwealth’s strong economy and our disciplined approach to budgeting have resulted in another major surplus,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “In addition to providing taxpayer relief to Massachusetts families, the 2019 surplus will also enable us to fund other priorities in a responsible way, including providing additional support to public schools and further strengthening our reserves.” “The 2019 surplus will help deliver meaningful taxpayer relief for Massachusetts residents and fund investments that benefit all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. Everett’s Unique Steak House We offer an authentic dining experience featuring homemade recipes from Brazil, passed down from generations. The main attraction is the Rodízio which is an all-you-can-eat traditional Brazilian barbecue that you may enjoy as much as you like for one fixed price, served table-side in a skewers of beef, chicken, pork and lamb. Accompanying the barbecued meats is a full-course exceptional salad bar and a delicious Brazilian hot side dishes made from typical Brazilian ingredients updated daily. Beside the Rodízio we also offer an option to pay by weight and delicious homemade desserts. “From additional highway funding to assistance in meeting special education and regional school transportation costs, this budget includes support for all of our municipal partners.” The proposal calls for setting the 2020 Part B income tax rate at five percent – bypassing the remaining revenue tests that the Commonwealth otherwise would be required to pass before the rate is reduced to that level. Taking this proactive step would ensure that the will of Massachusetts voters as prescribed in a 2000 ballot initiative is fulfilled next year, ending any uncertainty and assuring that the rate changes to five percent on January 1. Because the Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) budget already assumes a reduction to five percent, there would be no budgetary impact from the change. By statute, the rate will remain at five percent, and there would be no trigger tests in future years. The bill also proposes a doubling of the income tax exemption for dependents, from $1,000 per dependent to $2,000, resulting in a direct additional benefit for 1 million taxpayers who have children, or care for dependent relatives who are elderly or have a disability, of approximately $50 per dependent. To support the increase, the budget calls for a one-time deposit of $175 million from the Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) surplus into the Tax Reduction Fund. That funding would support two years of deductions at the higher rate, without any impact on the FY20 or FY21 budgets, and would provide a sufficient transition period until the higher exemption can be incorporated into future budget assumptions. The $2,000 per dependent exemption is estimated to reduce tax collections by $87 million per year. The budget also proposes a change to ensure that Massachusetts military veterans who are permanently disabled won’t face a tax liability as a result of a federal program to cancel their federal student loan debt. Under current Massachusetts law, that loan forgiveness would be considered a taxable benefit. For example, a forgiven $20,000 loan could potentially create a $1,000 state tax bill. The budget proposal would make the benefit nontaxable in Massachusetts. Enjoy Karaoke and Sports in our Lounge Bar Experience the best Brazilian steakhouse in the Boston area! The bill calls for using the FY19 surplus to fund a one-time, milestone deposit in the Stabilization Fund to immediately achieve a balance of $3 billion, the largest balance since the fund was created and representing approximately 10 percent of state tax revenue – an important measure of protection against any future economic downturn. The deposit is expected to total approximately $168 million. The FY20 budget anticipates an additional deposit of $476 million, which would bring the Stabilization Fund balance to $3.5 billion by the end of FY20. In addition to the tax measures and Stabilization Fund transfer, the bill calls for $100 million in education investments, including $50 million for targeted assistance for school districts with high concentrations of low-income students to implement turnaround strategies. The proposal includes $15 million for the Commonwealth Commitment program, as well as other college scholarship programs aimed at improving college affordability and student success, and $15 million to support scholarship assistance for high school students enrolled in early college programs in partnership with higher education campuses. The budget also proposes $15 million to fund a second round of grants for school security infrastructure, and $5 million in additional support for STEM-focused programs. “Since 2015 the Baker-Polito Administration has worked diligently to ensure that as a Commonwealth we are living within our means,” said Administration and Finance Secretary Michael J. Heffernan. “This proposal will invest supplemental funds in way that has a direct benefit for taxpayers and funds important priorities today, while continuing to protect the Commonwealth’s structural balance both today and tomorrow.” The supplemental budget also provides more than $100 million in overall infrastructure spending, including $50.5 million in grants to cities and towns for local road and bridge improvements and more than $60 million in investments related to clean drinking water, including funding for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) testing and mitigation. In addition to those investments, the Administration previously announced a proposal to use $50 million from the FY19 surplus to fund the acceleration of MBTA capital construction and infrastructure projects. The funds would support additional MBTA employees and outside experts to support capital project delivery, proactive inspections, and enhanced maintenance. The proposal recommends $5 million to address trafficking of the synthetic opioid fentanyl, which according to recent Department of Public Health data was present in 92 percent of opioid-related overdose deaths in Massachusetts in the first three months of 2019 in which there was a toxicology screen. The funding would support regional fentanyl interdiction programs focused on investigating major criminal enterprise and criminal activities related to fentanyl-trafficking.

At about 10:20 p.m. on Friday, Saugus emergency crews and police responded to the area of the Colonial Traveler Inn on Route 99 due to a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a 57-year-old woman and a man who were struck by a car while crossing the street, according to a press release by the Saugus Police Department. An ambulance transported the woman to a Boston hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries, Interim Police Chief Ronald Giorgetti said. The man was treated for what were described as less serious injuries. The driver of the car, a 67-yearold Malden man, remained on the scene. A portion of Route 99 near the site of the crash was temporarily closed on Friday night and into early Saturday morning as police responded and investigated.

I was overwhelmed, because I knew what needed to take place in order to save people’s lives and property. And I said, there’s no way they can do this in the way that it should be done. It was an “all-hands on deck”–type thing. Q: When you were down there, did you see in the next days that followed the destruction of the World Trade Center 29 at World Series Park in Saugus. The tournament is being sponsored by CABL, and teams from CABL will play. Three games will be played on Saturday, Sept. 28: 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.; three games will be played on Sunday, Sept. 29: 10 towers any buildings collapse? A: I think in the days following, it was 7 or 10 World Trade Center that collapsed. We were there while it was still burning. I can’t remember the timeline. It either happened right after we left the area for the afternoon or it happened the night before. Q: What do you hope that Saugus residents think about when they look back upon that day? A: I hope that they will never forget and that they will always a.m., 1 p.m. and the championship game at 4 p.m. Games in Danvers and Lexington make up the other sections of the CABL Classic. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend. The Coaches vs. Cancer prothink of the sacrifices that firefighters and the police officers and the EMTs and paramedics made that day, and that they show a little thanks on a day like this. It’s almost like being a veteran of a foreign war. Don’t forget the past. Q: Public appreciation – like when that lady came up to you during the early part of this interview and expressed her appreciation for all of the Saugus firefighters? And she donates food to the Fire Department. A: Yeah.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, September 13, 2019 Page 11 Nine excellent years By The Old Sachem, Bill Stewart J ames Nathaniel Brown was born February 17, 1936, in St. Simons, Georgia. His father, Swinton Brown, was a professional boxer, and his mother, Theresa, was a homemaker. Brown’s family moved to Manhasset, N.Y., on Long Island, living with his grandmother and mother. Jim was a standout at the local high school, Manhasset Secondary School, earning 13 letters in his four years – football, lacrosse, baseball, basketball – and running track. He had a record 38 points per game average in basketball at Manhasset. Jim entered Syracuse University as a phenom in 1953. In 1954, his sophomore year, he was the second-leading rusher on the team. As a junior he rushed for 666 yards, 5.2 average yards per carry, and was selected as a Secondteam All American. In 1956 as a senior, Brown set the University record for the highest season rushing average, 6.2, and the most touchdowns in a single game, six. As a running back he rushed for 986 yards, which was third best in the nation, and scored 14 touchdowns. Syracuse only played eight games that season, and Jim in the regular season finale rushed for six touchdowns and 197 yards, and also kicked seven extra points in a 61-7 rout of Colgate. That year he was a consensus first-team All-American, and finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting. The Orangemen went to the Cotton Bowl, where he rushed for 132 yards, scored three touchdowns and kicked three extra points for a University record of 43 points in a single game. A blocked extra point after the Syracuse touchdown led to a 28-27 loss to Texas Christian University. He was a multi-athlete at Syracuse; he excelled in basBill Stewart The Old Sachem ketball, track and lacrosse in addition to his football talents. His sophomore season he had a 15 points per game average and was the second highest scorer for the team. He lettered in track and was fifth in the National Championship decathlon. As a junior he averaged 11.3 PPG in basketball and was a second-team All American in lacrosse. As a senior he was a first-team All American in lacrosse, scoring 43 goals in 10 games to rank second in scoring nationally. He was inducted into the Lacrosse Hall of Fame. In the Carrier Dome at Syracuse there is an 800-square-foot tapestry showing Brown in both football and lacrosse uniforms and the words “Greatest Player Ever”. Jim Brown was selected as the sixth overall selection in the first round by the Cleveland Browns. As a rookie he rushed for 237 yards against the Los Angeles Rams that set a record unsurpassed for 14 seasons, and a rookie record that remained for 40 years. In 1958 he broke the single season rushing record, dashing off to 1,527 yards in a 12 game-season. This was another record for Brown, and he was selected not only as an All-Pro but also the league Most Valuable Player. To cap the season, he set another record of 17 touchdowns. When he retired from the NFL after the 1965 season, he left as the record holder of single season rushing, 1,863 in 1963, and career rushing of 12,312 yards, and 126 total touchdowns. He had 15,549 total yards in the NFL. Jim led the league in rushing a record eight times. He was selected to the Pro Bowl each of his nine seasons and scored three touchdowns in his final year. With Brown leading the way, Cleveland won the NFL Championship in 1964, and was runner-up in 1957 and 1965. His next life force was acting in films. Before the 1964 season he played a buffalo soldier in the Western film “Rio Conchos.” He was next in a film shot in London in 1966, MGM’s “Dirty Dozen,” where he was cast as a convict sent to France during World War II to assassinate German officers before the D-Day invasion. He played a villain in a 1967 episode of “I Spy” and was signed to a multi-film contract by MGM. He got his first leading role in the film “The Split” in 1969 and followed it with “Riot,” a prison film. Jim appeared in 44 films, including the movie “100 Rifles.” In the 80s he mostly appeared in television shows including KNIGHT RIDER and CHIPS. He teamed up with Vin Scully and George Allen as a color analyst in CBS football games. His autobiography, OUT OF BOUNDS was published in 1989 by Zebra Books, co-written by Steve Delsohn and Brown was the subject of the book Jim: The Author’s Self-Centered Memoir of the Great Jim Brown, by James Toback. The SPORTING NEWS selected Jim Brown as the Greatest Football Player of All Time in 2002 and he was also selected for the same honor in 2014 by the New York Daily News, which anyone who seen him play will agree. I remember seeing him play on television in the 60s and was always astonished by his capabilities.

Page 12 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, September 13, 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. Thirteen and counting! If everyone who pulled nomination papers for the Board of Selectmen or the School Committee turns in their papers with enough signatures by next Tuesday, there could be a field of 13 candidates vying for one of the five spots on each board. Of course, pulling nomination papers from the Town Clerk’s Office and actually taking the time to gather the necessary signatures are entirely different scenarios. The first is merely a statement of interest. The second is what actually gets a candidate’s name on the Nov. 5 ballot. The latest to pull papers from the Town Clerk’s Office were Matthew Canterbury for selectman and John S. Hatch for School Committee member. There are five potential candidates for the Housing Authority so far. Stay tuned. Last chance to pull nomination papers If you plan to become a candidate for public office in the town’s fall elections and haven’t yet pulled your nomination papers, today (Friday, Sept. 13) is your last opportunity. The Town Clerk’s Office will be open until 5 p.m. But once you secure your nomination papers, don’t put them down and forget about them. You have until 5 p.m. next Tuesday (Sept. 17) to submit them to the Town Clerk’s Office. Fifty certified signatures of registered voters are required for the Board of Selectmen, School Committee and the Housing Authority. Ten certified signatures of registered voters are required for Town Meeting members. These signatures must be of registered voters in the candidate’s precinct. It appears there could be a few openings up for grabs on both the School Committee and the Board of Selectmen. Several of the incumbents on these two local elected bodies may not be running for reelection in the November town elections, according to reports. School Committee members Elizabeth Marchese and Lisa Morgante have already said they aren’t running for reelection. Meanwhile, Mark Mitchell is the only incumbent selectman who hasn’t pulled papers yet. If you have ever considered helping out your community in an elected or appointed role, time is running out if you want to do it this year. Cub Scout recruitment switched With the postponement of last Saturday’s Founders Day until tomorrow (Saturday, Sept. 14) on account of the bad weather that was forecast, Cub Scout Pack 62 has switched its recruitment location to coincide with its fundraising efforts. Pack 62 will be having its recruitment at the same location as the Cub Scout Taco in a Bag Stand. Scout leaders will be there to answer questions and to help sign up new members. If you can’t make it to the sign-ups Saturday down near Town Hall, you may come down any (school day) Monday night from 6:45 to 8 p.m. at the Cliftondale Congregational Church at 50 Essex St. in Saugus. Please use the door marked “office” in the front of the church. We are located in the basement. Cub Pack 62 welcomes boys from age five (kindergarten) to 10 (Grade 5). Our Boy Scout program is for young men ages 10 1/2 to 17 (Grades 6-12).

A “Shout-Out” for Joanne Genzale In case you might not have noticed, there is a new artist in town. And her works are on display at a popular downtown restaurant. That’s according to Jeanie Bartolo, Town Meeting Member for Precinct 6. This week, Jeanie emailed us this nomination: “This shout out goes to Joanne Genzale. The Town’s much loved Hammersmith Restaurant’s interior was recently remodeled and Joanne was the artist who painted the beautiful mural on the walls. Hope everyone stops by to see it, it truly is a work of art.” Want to “Shout-Out” a fellow Saugonian?

The SWAP – an effort to help keep usable items out of the waste stream – will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Breakheart Reservation’s Christopher P. Dunne Visitors Center (177 Forest St., Saugus). And don’t forget to also bring your worn-out athletic shoes for drop-off in our recycling bin as we plan to once again participate in the Nike Reuse-a-Shoe Program. The donated shoes are ground up and purified to become material that will eventually become part of sports-surfacing products, including safety playground surfacing. This is a free event: no money, just a simple swap. You can bring items or take items, you do not have to do both. Feel free to bring usable items in good condition to the SWAP, typically those things you no longer want but that are too good to throw away, or simply come by and browse – you might find a treasure or two to take home with you. (Please, do not bring items that require special disposal.)

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 and their wish lists of projects they liked to see discussed on the campaign trail. These were so successful the citizens essentially set voter agendas for City Council, School Committee and sometimes Mayoral races. Do you as a Saugus resident have issues that you would like to see public officials tackle in your neighborhood in town? Would you feel comfortable sitting down with a reporter over coffee focusing on what you would like to see done town-wide or in a specific neighborhood? Get some of your friends together, and let’s have some coffee as you articulate what you think should be an issue tackled by town or school officials.

Page 14 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, September 13, 2019 Culture changes in store under new coach By Greg Phipps H aving played under three head coaches over the previous three seasons, the Saugus High School football team will be guided by firstyear head man Steve Cummings in 2019. Despite a preseason coaching controversy that kicked off last season, the Sachems showed fortitude in finishing with a 4-7 overall record and pulling off an upset win in the first round of the Div. 5 North playoffs. That provides beneficial material to build on for this fall, and Cummings is looking to create a more positive and stable atmosphere around the program. “One of the big things we’re focused on is making sure that everything we do is positive,” he told the press during the preseason. “I want people to understand that what we’re doing is probably different than what they’ve done in the past. We’re trying to change the culture here.” Saugus opens the regular season with two road games: Friday at Bedford (scheduled 4 p.m. kickoff) and then Winthrop on Sept. 20. They host perennial powerhouse Marblehead at Stackpole Field on Saturday, Sept. 28, at 11 a.m. So the early-season schedule is not a cakewalk to say the least, though the first two contests seem winnable on the surface, as both Bedford and Winthrop endured losing seasons last year. Cummings hopes some of the changes he’s instilling will help the team meet the challenges that lie ahead. “We’re trying to foster a culture of excellence through attitudes and the way we attack things,” he explained. “We’ll expect them to do things on a daily basis. I think it’s going to be a change from what they were part of in the past. It’s a work in progress.” Currently working as a teacher at Wakefield High School, Cummings brings with him a new assistant staff. In 2018, Mike Mabee took over as interim head coach after Anthony Nalen was suspended and eventually terminated from the position. In spite of the off-field drama, the Sachems competed well by nearly upending powerhouse Lynn English during the regular season and scoring a threetouchdown win over favored Weston in the Div. 5 North tournament’s opening round. Setting clear goals and objectives, such as forging a strong and communicative relationship with Saugus youth football, will be a key for Cummings and his team this fall. “In order to have a successful program there needs to be goals that people are setting,” he said. “Not just for the players but also coaches on your staff. One of the big things I’ve been doing is kind of building a solid relationship with the Pop Warner program, making sure they understand that their players are going to be ours someday. I want to make sure they know who I am. I want to make sure they know who my coaches are. We’re going to be around their practices. We’re going to be trying to implement and filter down whatever it is that we are teaching, so they will be ready when they get to high school.” Among the key players returning from last year are running back/linebacker Marvens Jean, wide receiver and safety Christian Correia, receiver/linebacker Bruno Auzec, safety Jaryd Coffill and cornerback Javier Martinez.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, September 13, 2019 Page 15 Saugus field hockey sports young squad By Greg Phipps H aving lost a large contingent of seniors from last year’s squad, the Saugus High School field hockey team will sport a young group in 2019. The Lady Sachems missed the playoffs last season and have no returning varsity players. “We definitely have a very young team with no [previous] varsity experience,” said head coach Barbara Guarente. “We lost 15 seniors from last year, so it will be a learning experience for these players.” Despite their youth, the Lady Sachems, who are led by captains Daniela Marquez (currently nursing an injury) and goalie Gabby Surette, acquitted themselves pretty well against an always-formidable Beverly team in their season opener last Wednesday, Sept. 4, at Stackpole Field. The opponents found it difficult to get off shots against the aggressive Saugus defense. As a result, the Lady Sachems hung close but were unable to mount much in the way of offense themselves, as visiting Beverly eventually came away with a 4-0 win. Saugus continued to play strong defensively against Swampscott (a 4-0 loss) late last week and Revere on Monson opener to Somerville last week, the Saugus High School girls’ soccer team got back to their winning ways with a 3-1 victory over the Lynn English Lady Bulldogs in Northeastern Conference action on Monday at Anna Parker Field. Jess Carter led the way with two goals for the victorious Lady Sachems. Shaylin Groark scored Saugus’s other tally and Jessica Nazzaro collected an assist. After the game, head coach Chris Coviello said his team displayed good ball possession but could have added a few more scores. “We possessed the ball really well, but we didn’t make a lot of smart decisions,” he told the press. “Luckily we were able to score a few times. But we have to take better advantage of our opportunities.” Saugus traveled to face Salem Saugus field hockey captains Daniela Marquez and Gabby Surette (Advocate photos by Greg Phipps) day, where they dropped a tight 1-0 road decision to the Lady Patriots. Saugus hosted Peabody on Thursday and have a return engagement against Swampscott on Friday at Stackpole. Girls’ soccer opens at 1-1 After dropping their seaon Wednesday and host Northeast Metro Tech on Monday. Boys’ soccer drops opener Unable to foil the excellent ball possession of the Lynn English Bulldogs, the Saugus boys’ soccer team ended up being shut out, 3-0, in their season opener Monday evening at Manning Field in Lynn. Falling behind, 2-0, in the first half, the Sachems never recovered and were stuck in their own end most of the contest. “It’s our first game,” firstyear head coach Josh Hickey told the press after the game. His team is looking to make the postseason for the third straight year. “We’re still working out kinks and stuff like that. English moved the ball a little better than we did, and that’s something we need to work on.” Saugus played at Salem on Wednesday and host TechBoston Academy on Friday.

T ake a walk down memory lane with the Saugus Historical Commission and discover the fascinating story of the Saugus Public Schools. Beginning with one-room schools even before Saugus became a separate town, the presentation progresses through the proud history of each and every school in the town. Why is this important? As soon as 2021, there will only be three remaining schools in Saugus: a new Middle/High School complex, a primary grades elementary school at the Veterans Memorial School and an upper-grade elementary school at the Belmonte School. The remaining schools will either be demolished or repurposed. There are many adults living in Saugus today that attended these schools and have very fond memories of their childhood days. The Commission’s goal to preserve the longstanding history of our town will be highlighted through its educational institutions. A PowerPoint Presentation containing narration and pictures of school buildings and class pictures over the years will be featured as a part of this year’s Essex National Heritage Commission’s Trails and Sails Activities. It will be held on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 10:00 a.m. in the Town Hall Annex on 25R Main St. Parking will be available around back on Taylor Street and in the Roby School lot.

Welcoming Week activities are open to the public and include a sampling of food from around the world, a chance for community members to pinpoint their place of heritage on a map, free family nights, and cultural activities for youngsters to learn about different countries. “At the YMCA of Metro North, we believe that each city and town we serve is stronger when everyone in the community feels welcome and we can all work together for the common good,” said YMCA of Metro President/CEO North Kathleen Walsh. “Welcoming Week is an opportunity for neighbors – both immigrants and U.S.-born – to connect, find common ground and celebrate our shared values. We are proud to be a part of Welcoming Week, which is demonstrating that in places large and small, rural and urban, people of all backgrounds are coming together to create stronger communities.” During Welcoming Week, each of the YMCA of Metro North branches have unique activities planned to welcome in and celebrate the people in the communities they serve.

During Welcoming Week from September 13-September 22 there will be a number of smaller events happening in each of the branches to celebrate diversity and welcome the community into the YMCA. “These events are part of a powerful and growing movement in our country and around the world, demonstrating that communities want to be welcoming,” said Welcoming America Executive Director Rachel Peric. “Welcoming Week is a reminder of the resilient and inclusive spirit of American communities. Thousands of local leaders nationwide are bringing their communities together to bridge divides and build stronger local economies where everyone belongs.”

Kennedy Institute receives grant for youth social movement project B OSTON – The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate recently announced that it received a $500,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supporting the development of a new multimedia initiative. The Institute will collaborate with youth activists in order to create an immersive and interactive visitor experience that draws upon stories of youth movements. Students will serve as advisors on the project helping to create offerings that fully engage young people in civics, government, and representation. In conjunction with the Youth Movements project, the Institute will convene a national advisory group of leaders who work with young people, ensuring that the program represents wide and ongoing youth participation. “We are deeply appreciative of this generous grant from the Gates Foundation,” said Caroline Angel Burke, vice president of education, visitor experience, and collections at the Institute. “The Edward M. Kennedy Institute is an ideal setting for the initiative because of its traditional and interactive digital exhibition spaces, capacity to tell stories via film, digital art, FOR RENT EVERETT 3 1/2 bedrooms $2,000/month First, Last and Sec.

The exhibit will be accompanied by programs for the general public as well as student-focused educational materials designed to reflect on the impact that young people can have on democracy. “We see an increase in young people actively advocating for political and social change,” said Mary K. Grant, Ph.D., president of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute. “These activists are organizing platforms, messages, and movements to inspire and motivate others to respond to major issues of our time.” The Youth Movements project is scheduled to launch in Fall 2019 and open in mid-2020. ~ HELP WANTED ~ Ricci’s Liquor Mart 843 Main St., Malden Seeks part-time experienced Store Clerk.
