Vogler T own Meeting Member Ronald Wallace takes pride in the fact that he has never missed a roll call vote for an Annual Town Meeting or a Special Town Meeting vote since he was fi rst elected to represent Precinct 5 eight years ago. “I have never missed – ever. Four terms, perfect attendance,” Wallace told The Saugus Advocate this week. But Wallace, one of just 14 town residents with perfect attendance in the 50-member body, has been complaining about the issue of attendance since he decided to pull nomination papers for a reelection run several months ago. And he said he’s glad to see it become a campaign issue in some precincts where residents weren’t represented well in Town Meeting deliberations over the past two years. “Several residents running for a seat have mentioned poor attendance as a reason to vote for them,” Wallace said. “This is possibly one of the most important elections in Saugus history, so voters need to really do their homework. Town Meeting has a long-standing issue with attendance,” he said. “In my eight years, I cannot remember a meeting with perfect attendance. Your vote should not be a popularity contest. If someone is elected and does not attend an important vote then residents are the ones not being served,” he said. A Saugus Advocate review of Town Meeting attendance records documented in the Town Clerk’s meeting minutes posted on the Town of Saugus website revealed that: • A dozen members missed TOWN MEETING | SEE PAGE 2 Town Meeting Member Peter Manoogian relaxed with a cup of coff ee and his dog, Axel, after a recent interview.

Among those absent were four of the five members of Precinct 3 and three of five members from Precinct 8. • Precinct 3 had the worst overall attendance record among the town’s 10 precincts – 64 percent. • Precinct 8 had the next-toworst attendance record – 67 percent. • During the 14 meetings (annual and special) of the Town Meeting over the past two years, there were an average of eight members absent from each meeting. Reasons why members miss meetings “I see empty seats at Town Meeting,” Precinct 2 Town Meeting member Robert J. Camuso, Sr., said Monday night (Oct. 16) as the opening speaker during the first of three consecutive nights of Charter Commission forums cosponsored by SaugusTV and The Saugus Advocate. Camuso, who had perfect attendance at the 14 meetings held by the Town Meeting over the past two years, said he believed residents in a few Saugus precincts aren’t getting good representation. “There’s 50 of us. If we have a constant 38 to 40 (76 to 80 percent attendance) board, if you would like for me to represent Precinct 2 and have a vote for Precinct 2 …. If I’m not there, I let you down,” he said. So, what should be characterized as “a poor attendance record” for a Town Meeting member? Anything lower than 70 percent?

(Saugus Advocate file photo by Mark E. Vogler) tendance. “It depends on the circumstances,” Doherty answered. “If someone is in a serious accident and, as a result, misses three or four weeks of meetings, but is otherwise reliable, they shouldn’t be lumped in with someone who misses every other meeting with no excuse,” Doherty wrote in an email to The Saugus Advocate. “First of all, I understand that there are several legitimate reasons why someone may miss a Town Meeting session. Some examples would be illness, a family emergency or, in the case of a Special Town Meeting, which can sometimes come up on short notice, they may have vacation or other plans that place them out of town at that time and can’t be changed,” Doherty said. “That said, when citizens vote for any elected official, they have an expectation that that person is going to commit the time necessary to give the position its due diligence,” he said.

If there is a malfunction of this sort, the backup safety systems divert the steam from the turbine and release it through the silencers. In this case, the steam was unable to vent through the silencers and an extremely loud noise resulted as the steam was vented through the safety systems,” the company said. “The safety systems operated as designed and there was TOWN MEETING | FROM PAGE 2 18 years – was one of three Town Meeting members with the worst attendance record: 43 percent. But Long had a reasonable explanation for missing eight meetings. At age 85, he’s had to deal with medical issues that kept him away from Town Hall over the past two years. Otherwise, he said, he would be there. With his health restored, Long said he welcomes a run for another term on Town Meeting. But he will be running for one of the five seats in Precinct 4. “At every meeting, after the roll call, the Moderanever a risk to public health, safety, the environment, or employees. After approximately 22 minutes, the problem was solved, and the noise abated,” the card noted. “We know the disruption this caused and we sincerely apologize to all those who were impacted. Since the silencers were installed in 2021, there have been many instances in which steam has been vented and has been visible, but not audible.” “The actions we are taking include: • We replaced the valve that malfunctioned and will complete biweekly testing of the drag valve to prevent a recurrence at 100 Salem Turnpike, Saugus, MA 01906 • We are in the process of installing a dedicated phone line that will be available only to tor or Town Clerk will list those members who called or emailed with the reason that they needed to be excused from the meeting,” Doherty said in his email to The Saugus Advocate. “While an absence doesn’t necessarily indicate negligence on the part of any official, unexplained, unexcused or excessive absences may cause voters, rightfully so, to question that person’s commitment to the duties of the position,” Doherty said.

For one, it is a volunteer position which involves a commitment of time. There are many town employees who serve on Town Meeting, including members of the Saugus Fire and Police Departments. When they’re on duty, Town Meeting takes a back seat to public safety. That begs the question whether a fireman or police officer should be serving on Town Meeting, given a work schedule that could keep them from attending important meetings where budgets TOWN MEETING | SEE PAGE 5 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street 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!

Manoogian, who turns 69 next month, spent 34 years as an educator before retiring. First elected in 1985, he has never lost an election. He has served East Saugus and all of Saugus in a variety of roles, including three terms as a selectman, past member and Chairman of the Saugus Finance Committee, past Chairman of the 2007-2009 Charter Commission, Vice Chairman of the Saugus School Committee (2015-2017), and many appointed sub-committees Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

He is a 1972 graduate of Saugus High School. He received his bachelor’s degree in History from Salem State College (1976), a master’s degree in public administration from Suffolk University (1991) and a master’s degree in educational leadership from Salem State College (2001). He and his wife Sandra, have three grown-up sons: Peter, who lives in Winchester; Alex, who lives in Saugus; and Julian, who lives in Charleston – all Saugus High graduates. His service and advocacy for his community and his precinct resulted in his being named Saugus Person of the Year in 2018. Some highlights of that interview follow: Precinct 10 Town Meeting Member Peter Manoogian relaxed with a coffee after a recent interview. He is one of several Precinct 10 Town Meeting members who are expected to appear in the Community Room at the Saugus Public Library next Monday (Oct. 23) at 6:30 p.m. for the latest “Saugus Over Coffee” forum. Precinct 10 residents will be able to enjoy a cup of coffee with their representatives before the event and listen to their representatives highlight what they think are the key issues facing Precinct 10. Doors open at 6 p.m. (Saugus Advocate photo by Mark E. Vogler) Q: Please tell me a little bit about your Saugus roots. A: My father moved here in the 40s from the Armenian enclave in Watertown. Moving from the urban part of Watertown to Saugus is like from Saugus to the inner woods of Maine. Q: What makes Precinct 10 special? A: It’s always had diversity because it’s the most affordable part of town. Bristow Street and Venice Ave. are an Italian enclave. Demographically, East Saugus has had a history of ethnic and cultural diversity. We have many Jews in East Saugus, many Poles and French Canadians. We once had the largest lobster fleet on the East Coast based right here in Saugus. It’s still an economic factor. We have two active boatyards in East Saugus and social clubs – the Italian American Club and the Fox Hill Yacht Club. The tight-knit families for many years have characterized East Saugus. The area has always had its share of political characters. East Saugus has always had people active in government. Q: Please tell me a little bit about the history. A: There was a controversy that they were going to build the Town Hall where it is now, so East Saugus wanted to secede from the town. East Saugus was going to break away, so to pacify East Saugus, new water pipes were installed. A lot of your infrastructure is in East Saugus. The sewer pump station used to be a public library. Saugus General Hospital was right on Chestnut Street. We had the Ballard School. There’s a lot of interesting history in this part of town. Washington and Lafayette went over Boston Road to get to Salem. There was talk of having an oil tank farm here in the 30s. The Patriots were talking about building a football stadium here in the 1960s. There was also talk of a commuter rail station. A lot of noted Saugus High athletes came from East Saugus. A lot of GE factory workers and World War II veterans lived in East Saugus. Q: What about famous people who lived here? A: Marian L. Starkey, who wrote “The Devil in Massachusetts: A Modern Enquiry into the Salem Witch Trials.” Q: Anything else? A: The great paradox for East Saugus is that it generated so many elected officials. But in spite of that, these same elected officials have sacrificed East Saugus. East Saugus has been affected by the globalization of inASKS | SEE PAGE 12

How can we simplify and For those who don’t know me, I’m Joe - I bought a home on Baker Hill in 2015 with my wife Katie after growing up on Essex Street and graduating from Saugus High in 2009. I currently work in Boston as a registered Architect. I have two young daughters, Amelia and Aurora, and a Boston Terrier named Porter. I got involved in local politics in 2019 serving as a two-term Town Meeting member in Precinct 2, member of the Planning Board, member of the Economic Development Committee, Chairman of the Cliftondale Revitalization Committee, and member of the Sidewalk Committee. I believe meaningful, periodic discussions and debate about our charter is healthy. We last considered changes in the charter in 2009 and even then, a considerable number of residents and the commission itself felt it was antiquated, narrowly failing the at-large vote. That was 14 years ago. There were some great ideas in that proposal that are still relevant today and I think there are some further refi nements that can help us improve the function, agility, effi ciency, accountability, and temperature of our government and its associated bodies. A charter revision will affect an entire generation of Saugonians that are moving here, raising young families, and will shape what Saugus will become the most long clarify our processes and structure to increase citizen participation and engagement? 3. How do we better delegate authority beyond a single individual? 4. How do we promote better collaboration and cooperation between and across boards and committees? 5. How can we increase acJoe Vecchione (Courtesy photo to the Saugus Advocate) term. I feel that voice is a critical one in this race as one in a nine-member body and I am committed to representing this perspective. ‘I don’t support people, I support ideas.’ That statement, one that I have said to many over the past 4 years, rubs some people the wrong way in a Town where skepticism and cynicism looms large and political connections run deep and carry weight, but it’s something I’ve never been interested in, even at the expense of an idea that I bring forward. While I’m resistant to prescribe specifi cally what I think should be changed in the charter as that collaboration and compromise needs to happen between the nine of us carefully over the next 1824 months, I can tell you where my focus is and the questions I’ll be asking: 1. How can we make our countability, visibility, communication, and access to our town offi cials? 6. How can we promote more consistently competitive elections where people know their representatives and what they stand for? 7. And how can we best communicate these proposed changes to the residents of Saugus to be informed as to why this change improves our government? These questions each have nuance and complexity associated with each of them, but I do believe they are the right ones to ask. This debate needs to be more than who will be the next chief executive in town, who’s on what “side”, or what hot political issue is being debated at the moment. This is a long-term change that will profoundly aff ect generations of Saugonians and ultimately how we function. I ask that you vote YES for the Charter Commission and humbly ask for one of your nine votes to be a collaborator in this process. Thank you.

Page 6 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 20, 2023 ~ The Old Sachem ~ The Golden Age Continues By Bill Stewart A fter four glorious seasons of Saugus football, we turn now to the 1942 season. The World War was on and living was difficult, with ration cards for tires and gas, for meat products and many other items. The products were necessary to be used by the US military in Europe and Asia. The season started with a 32 to zip win over Chelsea, 13-0 over Woburn, a 6-6 tie with Leominster, 14-7 over Gloucester, 34 to zip over Amesbury, 13 to zip over Melrose, 26 to zero over Revere, 34-13 over Swampscott, 6 nothing over Marblehead and 12-6 over Wakefield on Turkey Day, a record of 9-0-1. The Sachems scored 187 points for the season, allowing only 32 against them, and only Swampscott scored more than one touchdown. Harrington had 9 TDs and Shipulski had 4. The season saw outstanding defense from Wladkowski, Flaherty, Koschei, Goss and Daniels. The Sachems completed another Class C Championship. A Saugus team of Emma, Forti, Whyte, Parsons, Waugh, Pike, O’Neil, Herbert Johnson, Gould and Richard Johnson won the North Shore Invitational Cross Country Championship. The 1943 season brought some new talent to the Sachems, including Art Statuto – who went on to Notre Dame then the Bills and Rams in the NFL – Barressi, Waybright, Babcock, Reiniger, Dukeshire and Falasca. The state association moved the Sachems up to Class B after they destroyed five seasons of opponents. Saugus beat Chelsea 7-0, lost to Leominster 6-19, beat Beverly 20-6, Gloucester 20-0, Amesbury 6-0, lost to Melrose 0-6, beat Revere 1312, Woburn 20-6, tied Swampscott at 6, lost to Marblehead 0-13 and won the Thanksgiving match with Wakefield 7-0. Revere had been unbeaten before they met the Sachems. The Sachems went 7-3-1 in 1943. That year saw the Sachems team of Dan Sharp, Doug Waybright, Bob McCarthy, and Al Mason win the Mass. State High School Relay Carnival Quarter Mile Relay. They also finished first in the Northeastern Invitational High School Track Meet. The 1944 season was another great time. They beat Chelsea 7-0, Woburn 20-0, Beverly 20-0, lost to Amesbury 6-0, lost to Melrose 19-0, beat Newburyport 32-7, lost to Classical 9-0, and Swampscott 7-0, beat Marblehead 7-0 and tied Wakefield on Turkey Day. There were a lot of new faces from the tough teams before and the Sachems went 6-3-1. Doug Waybright was outstanding for the Sachems along with Frankie Pyszko. Their third season as Class B included another State Championship in 1945. They beat Watertown 13-0, Beverly 31-0, Chelsea 6-0, Amesbury 6-0, Melrose 13-0, Newburyport 31-6, Lynn Classical 24-13, Swampscott 32-0, Marblehead 25-0 and Wakefield on Thanksgiving 260. The Sachems scored 187 points, gave up 19 and had 8 shutouts. Captain Art Spinney led the team and went on to Boston College as a standout. After college graduation he played 11 years in the NFL for the Baltimore Colts, played in 2 Pro Bowls, and on a team that won 2 NFL Championships. Some new players included Charley Simpson, Bob Kane, John Quinlan, Dick Allen, Tom Sheehan, Gene Decareau and Jim Blundell. Eight Sachem players played in the North Shore All-Star game: Art Spinney, Dick Allen, Don Reiniger, John Quinlan, Bob Thurell, Bruce Waybright, Frank Pyszko and Bob Evans. The 1946 season had the Sachems playing a spring season game against Peabody, then again on Turkey Day. The Sachems beat Watertown 34-0, lost to Beverly 7-6, beat Chelsea 6-0, Amesbury 7-0, Revere 21-0, tied Lynn English at zero, beat Classical 1412, Swampscott 34-13, lost to Marblehead 0-7 and to Peabody 0-6.

Marks states he is interested in running to represent precinct three especially after noticing the poor attendance of precinct 3 town meeting members. “Upon checking the Town Clerk’s website and looking at the attendance record for Precinct 3’s Town Meeting Members it was appalling to see that three of the five incumbents missed half of the meetings. Precinct 3 has worst attendance record in comparison to the rest of the precincts during this past term,” Mark said. Your vote can make a big difference this November, but what does it mean?

Page 8 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 20, 2023 Mike Serino seeks to keep selectman seat ~ Political Announcement ~ Dear Neighbors and Voters I am honored to announce my re-election candidacy to the Board of Selectmen. I am a graduate of Saugus High School and the University of Massachusetts. My first involvement in our community was at the age of 22, when I was fi rst elected as a Town Meeting Member from Precinct 10. I am currently fi nishing up my 14th year on the Board of Selectmen. I also served as the former Chairman of the Board of Assessors and the Saugus Conservation Commission. Moreover, I was a member of the Town Meeting Charter Commission, serving as Vice-Chairman. As you can tell, I love Saugus! Financially, Saugus is in great shape. The Town continues to have yearly balanced budgets, with 20 million dollars in our reserve accounts. Saugus’s bond rating is AA+, the highest in Saugus’s history. We continue to make investments in our schools, parks and playgrounds, roads, water and sewer systems. Over-Development is a challenging issue facing Saugus.

After the development of Avalon Bay and Essex Landing, I became concerned with the loss of our commercial tax base, the excessive number of apartments, and the impact on traffi c, public safety and our school system. Therefore, I authored several zoning changes that would increase our commercial tax base and signifi cantly reduce the number of apartments. Town Meeting supported my changes (35-5). There has to be a balance between quality growth and protecting the quality of life in our Town. The revitalization of Cliftondale square is a top priority of mine. Some believe that changing our zoning to allow apartment buildings in Cliftondale will revitalize the area.

It is important that we respect our residents and protect their neighborhoods. I successfully led the opposition to the rezoning. Under the leadership of the Town Manager, Board of Selectmen and Town Meeting Members, two properties were recently purchased for parking in the square. Moreover, the manager recently secured a 2.3 million dollar grant to help revitalize Cliftondale. I do support the Urban Land Institute’s Cliftondale Square Revitalization Report that recommended: Improvements to the roadway, new sidewalks, specialty lighting and adding open space. According to the report, the improvements would inserved as your Selectman for the past 12 years.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 20, 2023 Page 9 Riley seeks third term as selectman ~ Political Announcement ~ M y name is Corinne Riley, and I am seeking reelection to the Saugus Board of Selectmen (BOS). I am a lifelong Saugus resident and SHS graduate. My husband Chris and I own and live in my childhood home with our two pups. We have three adult children Dan, Elena and Olivia, and are proud grandparents of Jacob and Cameron. Since being elected to the BOS in 2019, I have initiated the annual Saugus 4-1-1 event (Oct ’22), Citizens Input Forum (March ’20), and Empty School Building Forum (Nov ’22). I’ve worked successfully with Representative Wong to bring funding for our first flashing crosswalk signs to Saugus (installed Jul ’21). I also worked with BOS, Town Meeting, and Representative Wong again to pass a law establishing the Saugus Emergency Relief Fund (Jan ’21), funded by voluntary donations on tax bills. I initiated the Covid vigil to remember those who we lost (Sept ’21), and a Thank you reception (Jun ’23) for all employees/volunteers who got us through it; they were the heroes. I was a committee member on the WIN Sub-committee and Cliftondale Revitalization Committee. In the interest of transparency and accountability, I’ve insisted on improved communications with the Town Manager, which happens via quarterly update meetings with the BOS, and insisted on public evaluations of the Town Manager which now occur annually. I don’t just run to occupy a seat; I put in the work, cooperate with everyone, and get things done. My priorities on the BOS have been public safety, communication, ensuring all voices are heard, and making Saugus a better place to live. Accordingly, my top priority for the next two years is the long overdue West-Side Fire Station. Another priority is the completion and rollout of a SMS-compatible communication service for residents, so that timely updates on emergency situations and other updates like road closures can get pushed to residents’ smartphones in real-time. Next is Economic Development and Safety Improvements in Cliftondale Square. Traffic and pedestrian issues are wellknown, and while some preliminary work has been done, it’s time to see some progress on the ground and in the vacant storefronts. Another important issue facing us is the recent influx of hundreds of migrants to hotels along Routes 1 and 99, causing real stress on schools, police, fire, and health departments. We need to cooperate locally and with our state delegation to help the migrants and reduce (or pay for) the burden on town resources. Finally, the Golden Hills Playground is a safety hazard and needs a complete replacement. Town Meeting authorized $2M funding for playground investment this Spring, and I’d like to see the Golden Hills Playground project fast-tracked. Aside from the BOS, I’ve served on the School Committee, secured AEDs for all public schools, secured funding for the FIRST Robotics Program, taught religious education, coached Little League, belong to the Saugus Lions Club and SauCorinne Riley (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate) gus Veterans Council, and fought privatization of the Saugus school custodians.

I am seeking one of your five votes for the School Committee because I feel I bring experience and professional background to make a difference as one member. I am very proud to have been elected and have served on this school committee before in the early 90’s for 6 years, 4 of those years as the Chairman. I stepped off the committee when my son was born to be a dad and make my focus our family. I have also served on Town Meeting for 4 years. So, I bring a lot of institutional knowledge and background to the position. I have a career I love. I have been a first responder, an Emergency Medical Technician for the past 39 years, and love every minute. I am the current Executive Vice President of Action Ambulance Service Inc. and the New Hampshire & Maine Division Chief of the company. Over the last 25 years, I have also served as a Vice President of Human Resources, and Director of New Business Development. So as you can see, with my professional background, I understand how important it is for clear communication, to have structured plans with timelines, as well as defined goals, with team support for success. I am very proud of the volunteer work I have done for several youth organizations in town. I served on the Executive Board of Saugus National Little League, for over 8 years. I have Coached the “C” Team for Saugus Pop Warner, for 4 years. I have also taught confirmation classes for the Saugus Catholic Collaborative at Blessed Sacrament for 2 years. My most rewarding coaching experience was being an Assistant Varsity Hockey Coach at Saugus High School from 1997 through 2002 achieving several conference titles, and 3 Division 2 state championships. I am also very proud to have been inducted to the SHS Sports Hall of Fame with the 1999 Hockey Team, Class of 2018. We have several big issues with the district that I want to see to completion. I also want to continue the forward momentum of our school district, with district wide student achievement, state rankings, recruit and retention of faculty, and work to support, and enhance the Kids come first after school program, as well as summer enrichment programs. With my experience, and my unique ability to bring two sides together for the common good, as well as a positive outlook, and an advocate School Committee Member John Hatch (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate) of agreeing to respectfully disagree on issues. I know I can make a difference and continue to work to change our school districts and towns culture for the positive, acting as one town not separate departments. I care about our school district and town. Both have given a lot to me and my family, and I love giving back. Please consider me for one of your five votes. Thank you!

After growing up in Stoneham, I moved to Saugus in 2008 with my wife Andrea, who is a lifelong Saugonian. One aspect of Saugus I was immediately drawn to was how much Saugonians genuinely care for their town. The amount of pride the people of Saugus have in their town was always inspiring to see and something I wanted to become part of. Since being elected in 2021 to Town Meeting, I have always tried my best to help people in the precinct with issues that impact them in their daily lives, whether that be getting potholes paved and filled in Hamilton Street Plaza, helping in rerouting construction trucks off Taylor Street during Main Street construcPURE WATER STORE of MALDEN .25 Cents per Gallon Fill your own container We purify our water using the process Reverse Osmosis guaranteeing the purest water available.

I truly believe in the motto “All politics is local.” I have a Bachelor’s Degree from Merrimack College in Political Science and a Masters Degree in Public Administration from UMass Boston. I have twenty years of public service working as a correctional officer in Middlesex County, for the US Department of Homeland Security, and currently as a Whistleblower Investigator for OSHA. Part of my daily responsibilities working for OSHA is helping parties come to a mutual agreement and reach a consensus, which I have found to be beneficial in areas while serving on Town Meeting. My wife and I have two young boys in the Saugus Public Schools. Saugus has great youth volunteers and I am proud to be one of them, whether that be volunteering in Saugus Little League, Saugus Youth Basketball, Saugus Troop 62, or the Lynnhurst 4th of July Party.

My work history consisted of Social Work focused on some of the State’s most vulnerable residents including children, the disabled and low-income seniors. I recently retired from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and would now like to contribute to our representative form of government to help further the future and well-being of all our Town residents. My priorities include education, the environment, recycling, senior services, a transparent government and well-informed citizens.

I feel very fortunate to enjoy a great quality of life here in Saugus and hope to have the opportunity to support that for future generations. Please consider giving me one of your votes on November 7th!

But Burke, 50, said nothing can top the memories produced by this year’s fair when she was crowned Mrs. Essex County earlier this month – on the same day (Oct. 8) that her mother decided to retire as a fair volunteer. “The Topsfield Fair has been a part of my life for as long as I have been alive, and I have never missed a year!” Burke told The Saugus Advocate. “My mother began entering baking contests in the Foods Department at Coolidge Hall approximately 40 years ago.

Page 12 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 20, 2023 ~ SHS Sachems Sports roundup ~ SAUGUS GIRLS’ SOCCER NETS 10TH WIN The Saugus High School girls’ soccer team notched its 10th win of the season with a 6-0 victory over Northeastern Conference rival Salem. Madi Femino netted a hat trick, and Shawn Sewell, Shay Sewell and Taylor Deleidi had the other goals. Shawn Sewell added an assist, and Veronica Ortega and Liliana Hernandez added helpers. Danvers handed Saugus its third loss of the season, 4-1. Natalie Justice scored unassisted for the Sachems. SAUGUS GOLF GETS SPARK FROM YOUNGSTERS IN LOSS Beverly topped Saugus on the links, 51-21. Captain Ryan Jones tied his match at the number one spot. His play highlighted a great day for the team and its young eighth-graders. SAUGUS VOLLEYBALL FALLS IN FIVE TO SWAMPSCOTT Saugus took Swampscott to a fifth set but fell short in a 3-2 loss. “It was back-and-forth each set with each team staying within three to five points,” Saugus coach Mikayla Niles said. “Our girls are playing phenomenal.” Setter Aly Mabee has been working very hard with an assistant coach “and it has been such an improvement from her,” Niles said. “And I am so happy to see her setting to the ability I know that she can.” Outside hitter and captain Ava Rogers has been having a phenomenal year. Ana Silva, Saugus’ Libero, another captain, sacrifices and leaves her body on the floor every single day. “She leaves her heart and soul out there after every game,” Niles said. “I couldn’t be prouder of her and her effort.” The coach also cited Nina Penachio. “She’s been having a phenomenal game upfront,” Niles said. “Her attitude has just been so well keeping the girls’ heads in the game. Everyone else has just been contributing so much on and off the court. It’s just been really good. We’re getting really close to the end of the season and we definitely want to clinch a playoff game so we gotta pull some strings and get some wins out of these next couple of weeks, but I definitely have faith in the girls.” SAUGUS FIELD HOCKEY COMPETITIVE IN LOSS TO TOP-TIER TEAM Saugus has dropped its last four field hockey games but has been showing marked improvement. “We have been battling with just enough players on varsity with some of the games bringing up one to two junior varsity players and only having six players on junior varsity,” Saugus coach Barbara Guarente said. “Although our young players have improved tremendously, it is tough to ask them to be at the level of the seniors of the other teams. That is a five-year difference. We are extremely proud of the level of play the girls are demonstrating in the last few weeks. We have gone from losing badly in the beginning of the season to now being very competitive with the top teams in our league.” For instance, the team lost to Danvers, 2-0. This was a battle where the girls played great defense, according to their coach. “We held them in the first quarter,” Guarente said. “They scored in the second, and their second goal came in the second quarter off the stick of one of my players. We held them for the rest of the game. It’s tough playing these talented teams with no subs.” Saugus’ Senior Night is Friday night, Oct. 20. Ceremonies begin at 5:15 at home against Revere. The team’s seniors are Jessica Bremberg, captain, Grace Fiore, captain, Bella Natalucci, captain, and Samantha Murray. SAUGUS BOYS’ SOCCER SPLITS A PAIR OF 2-0 MATCHES Saugus beat Salem, 2-0, at home last week. Nick Oliveira had a goal in that match. Northeast Metro Tech topped Saugus, 2-0. SAUGUS RUNNERS POWER NORTHEAST Northeast Metro Tech cross country held a home meet against three other teams last week. It raced against Innovation, Greater Lawrence Tech and Mystic Valley. The team did not pull off a win, but a few of its runners improved their times including Saugus runner Gino Chiaravallotti with a time of 21:27. He finished 18th overall, and he was the fifth runner for Northeast. Kason Imbrogna continues to improve his times each week too. He ran the 5k course at Breakheart Reservation in 24:48. The girls’ team did not win, but they continue to improve each week, too. Amanda Oliveira of Saugus was the seventh runner across the line and she ran the 5k course in 24:52. She was the first Northeast girl to cross the line. Annabella Tum of Saugus was the fifth Northeast runner across the line with a time of 29:25. Football Sachems look to snap three-game slide after Gloucester loss By Dom Nicastro T he Saugus High School football team dropped its third straight game – 27-8 on the road to Gloucester last Friday – and fell to 3-3. The Sachems are hoping to bounce back on the road in a non-league matchup at Falmouth at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21. Falmouth is 1-5 and coming off a 27-6 loss to Dennis-Yarmouth. Gloucester led Saugus, 21-0, at halftime and never trailed. Jordan Rodriguez found Ameen Taboubi for a 35-yard touchdown pass for Saugus’ only score. And Tommy DeSASKS| FROM PAGE 4 dustry. The thing that’s always frustrated me is people are so willing to say “Put it down there.” Q: So, what are pressing imone had an interception for the Sachems. “We’ve got hit bad by the injury bug,” DeSimone said. “It’s especially hard to lose your starting quarterback and captain for the year especially with the kind of player Cam Preston is. Also losing Braden [Faiella] for two games and losing Danny Shea for the year. It’s been tough, but it’s easy to use injuries as an excuse. Things like this happen in life. It’s about turning adversity into opportunity.” Faiella had a knee injury and returned for the Gloucester game. He said he is feeling good right now and lookissues for you in Precinct 10? What would you like to see happen to improve your neighborhood? A: Two things that I would like to see; I want the ash landfill shutdown. I don’t ing to help Saugus turn things around in the final two regular-season games. Saugus is ranked No. 25 in Division 5 and needs to be in the top 16 to make the postseason. “We definitely need to work on our offensive line for Falmouth,” Faiella said, “but we’ve already started the week hot on the line and gotta keep on working. The first three games the run game was very strong so that is a real big strength and also our defense as a whole when we are on our game is very strong.” Faiella said Falmouth seems like it has some good athletes. It runs the triple option, “which think the people of Saugus and East Saugus should have to bear the burden of accepting a substandard trash-burning facility that can’t possibly meet current emission standards and – might be complicated, but I believe in the team to shut that down,” he added. DeSimone said Saugus this week has been getting back to basics on improving everything. “Football is a team sport,” he said. “It’s hard to say there is only one area of our game to improve on. We need to be better as a team. When we were at full strength our offense was extremely balanced, we were hard to stop. Not much to do when the run game was rushing for over 100 yards and we were throwing for 300 yards a game. Not to mention coach [Greg] Bluestein’s defense has been currently outrageous – is to allow an unlined ash landfill to double in height over the next 20 years. The second thing I’d like to see happen would be the demolition of the Balshut-down all year and won us some games early on.” As for Falmouth, DeSimone said the record is deceiving. “I think Falmouth is a really good team,” DeSimone said. “Their record doesn’t show it. They’ve also played a really tough schedule but played all those teams extremely tough. They’re a big triple option team which can create problems for us defensively if we aren’t on our keys. But overall I feel good about the game, hopefully to get things rolling again going into senior night vs. Winthrop.” Winthrop comes to Saugus Friday, Oct. 27 at 6:30 p.m. lard School and the creation of the Ballard Gardens Passive Park.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 20, 2023 Page 13 Saugus Gardens in the Fall Here’s what’s blooming in town this week to make your walks more enjoyable By Laura Eisener “ Little Shop of Horrors” being performed soon by the Theatre Company of Saugus may prompt people to think a bit about carnivorous plants, real and fanciful. The popularity of this classic play has also inspired some spooky artificial plants I have seen on sale among the Halloween decorations in many shops. “Audrey II” is often described as a cross between a Venus flytrap and a butterwort. Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) are the most dramatic and readily recognized of North American carnivorous plants, although they grow wild only in North and South Carolina and possibly a few sites in Florida. Wild populations have dramatically decreased due to habitat loss and poaching. The plants legally sold as house plants are grown in greenhouses and not wild collected, which has been illegal since the mid-20th century but still occurs despite being elevated to the level of a felony. As a houseplant, they can help control small spiders and insects and serve as a source of macabre entertainment because you may see the leaves snap shut when a suitable insect enters the trap. While Venus flytraps won’t be found outdoors in New England, there are several other carnivorous plants that do grow here. Sundews (Drosera spp.) and pitcher plants (Sarracenia spp.) grow in boggy areas. Bladderworts (Utricularia spp.) include land growing and aquatic plants. I have seen them blooming in local ponds, including at Breakheart Reservation, in Our native witch hazel flowers are blooming at Breakheart Reservation and elsewhere. (Photo courtesy of Laura Eisener) the summer – the air-filled bladders that allow them to float trap small aquatic creatures and insects just under the water’s surface while the flowers float on top of the water. Butterworts (Pinguicula spp.) grow in moist, rocky places and have sticky traps on their leaves. The first “Saugus Gardens” column I wrote in April of 2020 featured forsythia (Forsythia spp.), which was at that time blooming in every neighborhood in town, the four petalled golden blossoms lighting up gardens even before the shrub’s leaves emerged from their buds. In spring of 2023, the cheery flowers were noticeably lacking, along with many other spring flowers we were accustomed to seeing. As sometimes happens when weather is capricious, a few flowers may come out at unusual times of the year. I have sometimes seen blossoms on forsythia in November, before A small collection of fall bounty – pumpkins, squash, late tomatoes and fallen leaves – adorns these porch steps. (Photo courtesy of Laura Eisener) or after the fall foliage leaves, and in January when there may be snow but mild temperatures. My own forsythia bushes have no flowers, but I have seen potted ones in the nursery with a few blossoms out, and bouquets of blooming forsythia branches were for sale this week in at least one store on Route 1. The forsythia in the vase on my table certainly did not grow in Saugus, and I suspect they were flown up to New England from South America, which supplies many bouquets to the northern hemisphere. It is spring now in the southern hemisphere, so we might expect some gardens there to look the way April often does for us. Forsythia is sometimes confused with another four-petForsythia in the fall adds an unexpected touch to a seasonal tablescape including sunflowers.

Our native witch hazel is in bloom right now, it’s very narrow petals still somewhat hidden by the foliage. The flowers become more noticeable in November when the leaves are gone and may persist into December if temperatures are mild. There’s a lot of this in bloom in Breakheart, but I didn’t have to go beyond my front yard to see the blooms. While this one is native to New England, Asian hybrids the ‘Arnold’s Promise’ witch hazel (Hamamelis intermedia ‘Arnold’s Promise’) are expected to bloom in March and April, overlapping the forsythia’s normal bloom time.

Another “Pumpkin Truck” arrived at First Congregational Church in Saugus Center this past Sunday (Oct. 15). In spite of breakdown problems on Saturday, the truck arrived on Sunday afternoon with the final shipment of pumpkins.

He was a Republican. Q: What are the biggest challenges facing the residents of Precinct 10, in your opinion? A: There are several challenges. The rising waters are one. People in the Houston Ave. area – Venice, Beachview, Winston Street; that area – are seeing waters rise more frequently, flooding, the effects of climate loween (Oct. 31). “We very much appreciate the volunteers who participated in the unloading of the truck with all the changes and on short-notice,” Pumpkin Patch Coordinator Carl Spencer said. “A special thanks to Patrick Follis from Agganis Construction for off-loading the truck and Bob Camuso, administrator of Anything in Our Town of Saugus Facebook, for providing updates of the truck’s arrival. Their help was outstanding and much appreciated. Without their help the task would have been impossible.” Visit the Pumpkin Patch! It offers a great way to get in the fall spirit.

Also, the impact of the incinerator, which more and more people in Saugus are aware of since the latest noise incident, which woke up all of Saugus. And also the opportunities – there are opportunities in East Saugus, too. There’s opportunity for quality growth and redevelopment that is consistent with what you would want to see in a New England coastal town. The opportunity will come once the Riverwalk gets built and the completion of the Fox Hill/Belden Bly Bridge. This will be a big improvement for the area for the people who use the water. And the Riverwalk will result in a rebuild of the boat launch area. So, there’s definitely opportunity and there’s challenges to that as well. Q: What about the package store property at 206 Lincoln Ave. – the site of the former Amato’s Liquor Store? A: As far as the package store property, the people really came together in great East Saugus fashion. They came together, they raised money. They made it A POTENTIAL ASSET: Demolition of the Ballard School could pave the way for Ballard Gardens, a passive park. (Saugus Advocate file photo by Mark E.

When we asked for the details that would support the Dover Amendment, they couldn’t produce anything. Q: Right. A: So, it was obviously a ruse to get into an apartment building. But that being said, I think the neighbors are open-minded – because it is commercially zoned – to some sort of rezoning for modest use of condominiums, or multifamily, that is consistent with the neighborhood and results in improvements to the sidewalk and drainage. So, the neighbors are not opposed to seeing the site being redeveloped in a noncommercial way. But someone has to come forth with a proposal. Like any proposal, talk to the neighbors first. Don’t try to steamroll over them. Q: Any other big issues in Precinct 10?

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 20, 2023 Page 15 The Sounds of Saugus By Mark E. Vogler Good morning, Saugus! This time next week, your head might be spinning a little as you try to do some homework on the 27 candidates running for nine seats on the Saugus Charter Commission in the Nov. 7 town election. I know my head was whirling at high speed this week after having completed the task of moderating three straight nights (Monday-Wednesday) of forums in the second floor auditorium at Town Hall, which were attended by 23 of the candidates. In my 51 years as a newspaper reporter covering local politics, I have never had to interview so many candidates.in one setting. In my days as the Lake County government reporter for The Leesburg Commercial in Central Florida, I had to cover a dozen candidates running for county commission – but not all at once. And it was kind of a fun assignment, because I had to travel all over the country, meeting the candidates at their homes or offices. I was assigned to do long human interest pieces for the paper. And it was a lot of fun, doing magazine length interviews. It was manageable, too, because my work was spread out over a couple weeks. The recent forums I moderated in Saugus Town Hall were a lot more challenging, especially organizing a plan of action and sending emails to the candidates on very short notice. But, after three nights of talks from candidates whose names will be on the Nov. 7 election ballot, at least the voters will have a good source of knowledge about the Charter Commission candidates and the process for studying and making refinements in Saugus government – if that’s an option that Saugus voters want to consider. Stay tuned. SAVE Selectmen candidates forum Oct. 25 Saugus Action Volunteers for the Environment (SAVE) will sponsor a forum for candidates for the Board of Selectmen on Wednesday, Oct. 25, starting at 7 p.m. at the Saugus Town Hall Auditorium (298 Central St.). Doors will be open to the public at 6:30 p.m. for this free event. As we have in the past, SAVE provides this public-service forum for candidates for the Board of Selectmen so that each candidate can share their views of the critical environmental issues facing our town. The event will also be televised live on Comcast Channel 8 by SCTV in order to reach as many residents as possible. In addition, the public will be able to view the event the following day at https://vimeo.com/saugustelevision. SAVE hopes the public will plan to join us for this informative event.

Page 16 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 20, 2023 OBITUARIES Bob Kodzis O f Saugus . After a long life filled with love and accomplishments, passed away on September 28, 2023. He was 83 years old. Bob was born January 25, 1940, to Mary (Ferrante) and Ronald Rose. He lost his father, Ronald, at the age of 8, and was lovingly adopted by his second father, John Kodzis at age 13. Bob is a graduate of Saugus High school, class of 1957. He fell in love with and married Joan Malcolm of Everett and enlisted in the coast guard shortly after high school. After two years of active duty he returned to Saugus, MA to help raise his growing family. But there was a burgeoning entrepreneur inside Bob Kodzis. At age 28 he opened Kodzis Barber Shop in Saugus Center where he proceeded to cut the hair of every child and half the adults in Saugus. He built a great reputation among his customers and developed a loyal clientele. Bob left the haircutting business when his friend Art Charleton introduced him to the Amway Corporation. It would become the professional love of his life and Bob would go on to become the 68th Diamond Direct Distributor in the history of the company. He developed a legendary reputation for his ability to inspire audiences and individ- LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Essex Probate and Family Court 36 Federal Street Salem, MA 01970 (978) 744-1020 Docket No. ES23P3097EA Estate of: THOMAS A.

Loving daughter of Gary and Pamela Goodwin (Parker) of Saugus, proud mother of Damien Goodwin of Saugus, sister of Gary Goodwin of Lawrence, and Patricia Duncan of North Reading, Auntie to Anastasia and Katarina Duncan of North Reading. She was preceded in death by her sister, Lauren. Elaine was born on February 23, 1979 and was a graduate of Saugus High School, class of 1997. When she graduated, her life was full of promise. She had a strong work ethic and drive that could only be challenged by the death of her younger sister in 1999. After this tremendous loss, Elaine was never quite the same, and lost her spark for life. In 2002, shortly after the birth of her son, the light of her life, Damien, she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and would spend the rest of her life battling this disease. Elaine, or Lainey, as some will lovingly remember her [four of five Precinct 10 Town Meeting members] – as you know, Peter Delios did not support us. Peter Delios supported the increase of the height, 50 to 100 feet, after he promised us, when we interviewed him to fill Mike Serino’s vacancy, that he’d never do it. That to me was was at her best when with her parents and son. Damien was her life’s work, and she was so very proud of the young man he became. She doted on him along with her nieces and loved buying them gifts, and spoiling them on Christmas. Elaine called her mother daily and always wanted to be at home where she grew up. Her Aunties will always remember her adoringly as their first baby niece who would prepare them for motherhood. One aunt, in particular, would be the one to gift Elaine with her first red lipstick. She was a trailblazer as a child, and was the only girl on an all boys baseball team, coached by her father. Growing up, Elaine spent many summer days on the shore at her family cottage in Harpswell, Maine, so it’s no wonder that the beach was her happy place where the sound of the ocean would quiet all of the noise in her head. These lazy Maine days were spent surrounded by her siblings and cousins exploring in the woods, going for boat rides, splashing in the waves, digging for clams at low tide, lobster dinners, camp fires, and trips to Land’s End Gift Shop. If she wasn’t in Maine, she could be found with her parents and siblings on Nahant Beach. Elaine’s spirit will be remembered and sorely missed every day, and her untimely death will always serve as a reminder of the unpredictability and preciousness of life. Her family is finding comfort in knowing that Elaine can rest now with her younger sister Lauren–reunited at last. The family suggests sending memorial contributions to: National MS Society, PO Box #91891 Washington, D.C. 20090 – 1891 the biggest political disappointment that I’ve had, as a Precinct 10 Town Meeting member: to see Peter Delios break his word to the people of Precinct 10 and vote in the deciding vote to shut down discussion on the ASKS | SEE PAGE 17
