Page 18 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 11, 2024 “CHRONICLE” NIGHT | FROM PAGE 7 since 2011. He’s a retired school teacher. Reinstein cited Biddeford as an example of resilience at work when the old mill buildings closed down. “What do you do when the mills and the jobs leave?” Reinstein asked. “Those mill buildings were not meant to be torn down. They last forever,” he said. Old mill towns like Haverhill, Mass., and Biddeford have valuable buildings that can be converted into condos and apartments long after the mills have closed, he said. Reinstein shared another We follow Social Distancing Guidelines! inspiring story – about the people of East Corinth, Vermont – a community that’s been mired in poverty – who made their community “one of the six places in America where you have a nonprofit ski area. And the price of skiing – a very expensive sport – was reasonable for Reinstein when he visited there: six bucks for a burger and $10.50 for his ski ticket.

But eventually Ojala got the rehab he needed to turn around his life. Six years later, at age 27, he broke the Mount Monadnock summit record by doing 17 laps in 24 hours. Near the end of his talk, Reinstein outlined his favorite – “The Good Night Lights” Phenomenon in Providence, R.I. That story focused on the nightly occurrence of lights flashing off in the city to help bring joy to cancer victims at Hasbro Children’s Hospital. Clean-Outs!
