The Northern Strand Community Trail – a project that was 30 years in the making – reached a milestone this year when sections connecting Saugus with four cities (Everett, Lynn, Malden and Revere) were completed, enabling bicyclists and walkers access from inland to the coast. Many people of all ages have been enjoying the bike trail for a wide range of reasons: recreation, exercise, nature watching, and simply as a safe and convenient way to get around town for errands, work, school and appointments. “I would like to thank GoverVeterans Early Learning Center students – fi rst grader Mila Cogliano, 6, dressed as a clown, and Veterans fi rst grader Brian Sullivan III, 6, dressed as The Joker from Batman – and former School Committee Chair Thomas Whittredge, dressed as Sulley from “Monsters, Inc.” are shown at the annual Trunk-or-Treat event held last Saturday (Oct. 22) in the parking lot of the Saugus Middle-High School.

Paving that began in 2020 now allows people to bicycle on paved paths from Everett to Lynn, mostly along the original Saugus Branch Railroad right of way. There are signposts showing mileage, informational signs and crossing lights at many grade crossings as well as benches and bridges to make using the trail comfortable and pleasant. The trail – spearheaded by Bike to the Sea, Inc. in 1993 – is built in a continuous 7.5-mile stretch through Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus. It also includes Lynn.

The $15.5 million project by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) was completed utilizing funding from the Gateway City Parks Program. “Projects like the Northern Strand Trail serve as critical assets that link communities and residents across the Commonwealth together,” Governor Charlie Baker said in a statement issued by his office on Wednesday (Oct. 26). “Through the MassTrails team, our Administration has been proud A dense cluster of umbrellas was gathered on the Northern Strand Community Trail for the ribbon cutting on Wednesday morning. (Courtesy photo by Laura Eisener to The Saugus Advocate) to collaborate across state government and with municipal partners and trail advocacy groups to advance these projects that bring numerous environmental, recreational and transportation benefits to communities in Massachusetts.” “We were pleased to fund the Northern Strand Trail, and to partner with Everett, Lynn, Malden, Revere and Saugus to advance this critical project,” Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito said in a statement also issued by the Governor’s Office on Wednesday. “The Northern Strand Trail will provide benefits not only to the residents and businesses along the trail, but also to visitors and those living in the surrounding region.” The trail corridor connects neighborhoods, links residents to business districts, provides access to regional assets, such as the Lynn Shore and Nahant Beach Reservations of the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR), serves as a critical component of the East Coast Greenway and improves the quality of life for the region’s residents. Where the rail-trail runs: Here’s a map created by the Governor’s Office showing the route of the Northern Strand Community Trail. (Courtesy graphic to The Saugus Advocate) Helping to make the region “green” The trail also has transportation and greenhouse gas emissions benefits. Provision of a practical, safe route of relatively short distance between major cities helps to encourage walking and biking as an alternative to driving, thus reducing emissions and helping the Commonwealth comply with the Global Warming Solutions Act. “Safe and fun access to the outdoors is a priority of the Baker-Polito Administration, and I am pleased that this project provides residents with a great opportunity to get some exercise and enjoy the Commonwealth’s natural resources,” state Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Beth Card said. “Significantly, rail trails like the Northern Strand Trail also provide commuters with the option to leave their cars behind, which reduces the release of harmful carbon emissions and assists in the Commonwealth’s efforts to achieve Net Zero in 2050.” The construction of the Northern Strand was supported by the work of the Interagency MassTrails Team, which is composed of staff from EEA, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and DCR. The purpose of the team is to help develop a unified vision for a trails network and translate that into strategic investments, policy innovations to facilitate development of trails, and partnerships with municipalities and other organizations. The Northern Strand trail project is a direct result of the group’s “one team, one plan, one vision” approach to advance multiuse trails across the Commonwealth. “Shared use paths give people a safe, comfortable, and convenient option to walk and bike for everyday trips without relying on a car to get to destinations,” Transportation Secretary and CEO Jamey Tesler said. “The benefits are countless when it comes to active travel for wellbeing, public health, reducing pollution, and supporting local businesses. Whether people are commuting to work, going shopping, or just out for fun, more than 100,000 people of four gateway cities now are within ½ mile of the Northern Strand,” Tesler said. Following work conducted by many partners, including the longtime advocacy of Bike to the Sea, trail segments were in various stages when EEA took on the project.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 28, 2022 ~ The Advocate Asks ~ Page 3 Town Meeting Member Ron Wallace discusses his cemetery project to honor Benjamin Newhall Johnson, the late Saugonian who once owned the land at Breakheart Reservation Editor’s Note: For this week, we sat down with Precinct 5 Town Meeting Member Ron Wallace, who talked about a special project he undertook in Riverside Cemetery – cleaning up the headstone of Benjamin Newhall Johnson – a local historian and attorney who owned what would later become Breakheart Reservation. Wallace, 53, is a 1987 Saugus High School graduate and a lifelong resident of the town. He is in the final year of his fourth two-year term on the Saugus Town Meeting. He has been a low voltage electrical technician for 35 years, in Local 103. He and his wife, Amy, a Lynn native, have been married for 22 years. They have three children: Alex, 16, who is a sophomore at Saugus Middle-High School; Abigail, 18, who is a freshman at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, N.H.; and Andrew, 20, who will be a junior at Bentley University in Waltham, Mass. Amy Wallace has worked for 29 years as a Special Education teacher in Lynn Public Schools. Following his graduation from Saugus High School, Wallace spent four years in the JATC (Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee) program run by the I.B.E.W. Local 103. He is very involved in car shows, particularly antique cars. In addition to being elected to serve four two-years terms on the Annual Town Meeting, he is currently in his first term as a member on the town’s Cemetery Commission. He has also in the past volunteered to help cleanup efforts on the Saugus portion of the Northern Strand Community Trail, town parks and playgrounds. Highlights of this week’s interview follow. Saugus the greatest gift he could ever give – Breakheart Reservation – all of that recreation land. Breakheart is owned by the DCR [state Department of Conservation & Recreation]. He died in 1932 and the state purchased it two years later. He donated a lot of money to local organizations. And the land he owned – the family sold it to the state for a very reasonable amount of money. I do a lot of hiking at Breakheart, so I know the history of Mr. Johnson. He had a lodge there on the land that is now Breakheart. You can still see the foundation on what is called The Lodge Trail. He dammed the Saugus RivLABOR OF LOVE: Precinct 5 Town Meeting Member Ron Wallace recently completed a cleanup of the tombstone marking the grave of Benjamin Newhall Johnson, a prominent Saugonian who owned the land that now encompasses Breakheart Reservation. (Saugus Advocate photo by Mark E. Vogler) Q: How did the unkempt gravestone of Benjamin Newhall Johnson come to your attention? A: I was actually walking through the cemetery last November and I stumbled upon it. I already knew who he was because I read a book about Breakheart Reservation. Q: Tell me about the gravestone. What kind of condition was it in? A: Terrible. It was in very bad shape. It probably hadn’t been cleaned in 90 years. I didn’t do anything, because I had to get permission to clean it. Q: Who is Benjamin Newhall Johnson? A: He was a Saugus native who went to Saugus schools. He graduated from Harvard University cum laude in 1878 with a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, and he went on to become a very powerful attorney in Boston. I believe he lived in Lynn at the time of his death. He bought all of the land that Breakheart Reservation is now on. He was born June 19, 1856, in Lynn, Mass. He grew up in Saugus and was educated in Saugus schools, and he died in Lynn on Feb. 19, 1932. Q: And why should Benjamin Newhall Johnson’s name be important to Saugus residents who pride themselves on knowing the history of their hometown? A: The reason I wanted to clean his grave is that he gave er and made the two lakes at Breakheart, known as Silver and Pearce Lakes. He liked to hunt out there and stay in the lodge. It was his vacation place. Q: What else do you want to tell me or tell the readers of The Saugus Advocate about Mr. Johnson? A: People should be aware that somebody left that land to the state, and thousands and thousands of people enjoy it every year – an unbelievable gift. The least I could do is clean his monument. I thought it was really neat that he left $5,000 to the Town of Saugus for the library, and, specifically, his will said that the ASKS | SEE PAGE 10 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut St. We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!

Lawrence Michael Nagle, a/k/a “Mikey,” 32, of Saugus, and his brother, Christopher Nagle, a/k/a “Cuda,” 28, of Revere, had been identified as far back as 2018 as leaders of a DTO distributing various controlled substances throughout the North Shore region of Massachusetts, according to documents filed by federal investigators. Federal agents alleged that the Nagle DTO distributed significant quantities of various controlled substances: Adderall (both pharmaceutical-grade pills and counterfeit pills containing methamphetamine), methamphetamine, Xanax, Oxycodone (both pharmaceutical-grade and counterfeit pills containing fentanyl), cocaine and marijuana, among others. The Nagle brothers were among 23 members of the DTO charged this week.

And to be clear – counterfeit prescription pills being sold on the street are part of the problem. Swallowing a deadly drug can have the same fatal outcome as injecting one. These charges are an important step in slowing and ending the near constant stream of illegal drugs flowing into our communities,” Rollins said. “We allege the defendants participated in a large-scale drug ring that was prepared to distribute tens of thousands of counterfeit Adderall pills containing methamphetamine in addition to the counterfeit Adderall pills and counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl that they were actually distributing into neighborhoods on the North Shore,” she said. “Disguised to look like your average prescriptions from the pharmacy, these pills contained deadly narcotics – including fentanyl, which is 100 times more potent than morphine, and methamphetamine, which also has been responsible for countless overdose deaths. As a result of this investigation, North Shore residents are safer now with more than 74,000 potentially deadly pills removed from their streets.” The Nagle DTO allegedly distributed controlled substances to a small network of individuals who would then redistribute the drugs to other traffickers, including separate, but interconnected, organizations. These smaller organizations were allegedly headed by Nelson Mora, a/k/a “Nellie,” Bags of counterfeit pills seized – more than 74,000 dangerous pills.

Federal investigators alleged that Mora, Bello and Bryson obtained their drug supply from other sources at times and that Mora and Bryson had access to pill press machines used to create counterfeit pills. The investigation resulted in numerous seizures of controlled substances, including the following: over 74,000 counterfeit Adderall pills containing methamphetamine, weighing more than 24 kilograms; 591 counterfeit Adderall pills containing methamphetamine; 1,000 counterfeit Oxycodone pills containing fentanyl; and 101 counterfeit Oxycodone pills containing fentanyl. During the execution of federal search warrants this week, investigators seized a pill press hidden under a sheet in a basement laundry room, plastic bags containing approximately three to four kilograms of suspected powdered fentanyl in various colors, various quantities of suspected counterfeit Adderall pills containing methamphetamine and various quantities of suspected counterfeit oxycodone containing fentanyl. Many of the suspected counterfeit pills were packaged for sale. A firearm and additional suspected counterfeit pills containing controlled substances were also seized from inside a furniture hide. “Massachusetts is in the midst of a devastating opioid crisis as deaths from deadly fake pills soar,” said Brian D.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 28, 2022 Page 7 “The Old Sachem” A Conundrum By Bill Stewart I ’m back after a long vacation. It’s time to review the Patriots situation. If Mac is back, then Zappe is probably not happy. Mac Jones was injured on the last play of the fourth game, a severe ankle injury. Through his three games this season his record is one win and two losses; his completion percentage was 66.0; yards per game were 262.0; two touchdowns, fi ve interceptions and fi ve sacks. Brian Hoyer was the quarterback for the fourth game and suff ered a loss against the Green Bay Packers. Bailey Zappe came into the game when Hoyer was injured and completed 10 of 15 passes for 99 yards and one touchdown while being sacked three times. Since then, Zappe has made the fans very happy with two wins, a 74.5 completion rate, yards per game of 248.5, three touchdowns, one interception where the ball bounced off the receiver and into the defenders arm, and two sacks. Now, the question becomes, do we stick with a winner or do we return to our high draft pick, Mac Jones, who had a pretty good year in 2021. The story gets more complicated when we look at the DRUG RING | FROM PAGE 4 continue to work with our law enforcement partners to put other callous distributors behind bars,” Boyle said. Colonel Christopher Mason, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, commended the DEA, our Commonwealth Interstate Narcotics Trafficking Reduction and Enforcement task force, and the multiple partner agencies “for their superb work interdicting this drug organization.” “The practice of disguising fentanyl and other dangerous drugs as prescription medication is especially nefarious for the dangers it poses to unsuspecting users and the new addictions it fuels,” Col. Mason said. “The neighborhoods of the North Shore are safer today for their eff orts,” he said. Conviction on the charge of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute controlled substances provides for a sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison, at least three years of supervised release and fi nes of up to $1 million. Sentences are imposed by game results. In Zappe’s fi rst win, the defense shut down the number one off ense, the Detroit Lions, then they faced a Cleveland Browns offense which averaged 192 rushing yards per game, and the Patriots held them to 70 yards on 18 carries, a 3.9 average. The Patriots have frequently run the ball through the fi rst six games, which has the advantage of running the clock. I have to submit this article before the Bears game on Monday night as a critical situation develops, which may or may not change the Patriots as a contender. The Patriots have used a rushing offense to assist the young quarterbacks. Let us get a better picture of Zappe. He was a graduate student at Western Kentucky after transferring from Houston Baptist College. In the short 2020 season, the Baptist quarterback completed 141 of 215 passes (65.6%) for 1,833 yards with 15 touchdowns and a single interception. He passed the 10,000 yard mark in his four years at Houston – completed 900 passes on 1,477 attempts (60.9%) for 10,004 yards, 78 touchdowns and 39 interceptions. Transferring to Western Kentucky in 2021, Zappe completed 475 passes from 686 ata federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case. U.S. Attorney Rollins, DEA SAC Boyle, MSP Superintendent Colonel Mason, Melrose Police Chief Michael L. Lyle, Lowell Police Interim Superintendent Barry Golner and Lynn Police Chief Christopher P. Reddy made the announcement on Wednesday (Oct. 26). They credited the Beverly, Billerica, Everett, Peabody, Revere, Salem, Saugus and Swampscott Police Departments with providing “valuable assistance.” Assistant U.S. Attorneys James E.

At Western Kentucky in the Conference USA, Zappe was selected Most Valuable Player, All CUSA fi rst team, and selected Off ensive Player of the Week four times. His successful appearance with the Patriots should not be a surprise to the media and to the New England fans. Let’s hope the winning runs for whichever quarterback the Patriots decide to use.

Page 8 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 28, 2022 Special Town Meeting Members vote to indefinitely postpone a nonbinding resolution opposing expansion of WiN Waste innovations’ ash landfill O ver the years, the Annual Town Meeting has had several symbolic votes opposing expansion of the ash landfill near the trash-to-energy incinerator on Route 107. But during Monday night’s Special Town Meeting, members voted by a slim majority (21-15) vote with 13 members absent to postpone indefinitely a nonbinding resolution that opposed further extension of Law Offices of Terrence W. Kennedy 512 Broadway, Everett • Criminal Defense • Personal Injury • Medical Malpractice Tel: (617) 387-9809 Cell: (617) 308-8178 twkennedylaw@gmail.com WIN Waste Innovations’ ash landfill and also took a stand against any effort to modify the law or regulations relative to the Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). Had the resolution passed, it would have been circulated to the entire state legislative delegation for Saugus in addition to the commissioner of the state Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). Speakers opposing the resolution – including Board of Selectmen Chair Anthony Cogliano – argued that passage of the resolution might jeopardize a pending Host Community Agreement (HCA) being negotiated with WIN Waste Innovations that would extend the ash landfill 20 more years in return for tipping fees being waived over the life of the agreement. After more than an hour of discussion, Town Meeting members voted 25-12 with 12 absences to call the question, effectively ending the debate. “By deciding not to oppose the continued use of our monofill, Town Meeting has joined the Landfill Committee and Board of Selectmen in advancing an idea that would provide significant environmental and economic benefits to the Town for years to come,” said Jim Connolly, WIN Waste Innovations Vice President Environmental. “A proposed Host Community Agreement (HCA) between Saugus and WIN Waste would formalize these benefits if we are able to obtain the necessary permits to continue operating the monofill. We look forward to working with the Town to finalize the HCA, engaging in a rigorous, transparent and fact-based environmental review process, and making our case to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Saugus Board of Health.” The resolution was initiated by four of the five Precinct 10 Town Meeting Members: Martin Costello, Peter Manoogian, Darren Ring and Carla Scuzzarella. Selectmen, by a 3-2 margin, voted last month to support the HCA. Howev er, DEP officials have already said current state environmental regulations do not allow expansion of the ash landfill. WIN would have to influence lawmakers to change existing environmental law and regulations in order to continue using the landfill for two decades after its capacity runs out. I n other Town Meeting business on Monday night, members voted unani - mously to create a Supplemental Student Support Reserve Fund that would aid the School Department in reaching students whose education was adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree proposed the fund with the intention of making use of an extra $3 million that Gov. Charlie Baker added to Chapter 70 funds. A provision of the special fund provides that “In order for the Saugus Public Schools to access these funds the Superintendent and School Committee must submit a detailed plan to the Saugus Finance Committee who will determine that such plans are supplementing current educational programming and not supplanting it.” The Supplemental Student Support Reserve Fund was created to raise and appropriate a sum of money for deposit into such fund for the following purpose(s): –To develop and provide enrichment programs outside of the school day, including summer school, evening school, and before and after school programs not currently existing in the school budget –To deliver at home tutoring for students who have been identified as needing one on one support from a qualified educator –To procure and administer norm referenced student assessments to identify individual student deficiencies in mathematics and reading –To develop and implement parent/guardian communication and training programs that will help facilitate student learning and success –To supplement existing ESL / ELL learners including, but not limited to, materials and properly credentialed staff to support these learners –To ensure access to technology for students who have been identified as not having such at home –To develop and implement extended day programs for students as needed –To develop any program deemed appropriate and proven effective with the goal of bringing about student academic and social recovery from two years of remote learning Crabtree proposed creating the fund with an additional $3 million Gov. Charlie Baker’s administration put into Chapter 70, which provides state aid to public elementary and secondary schools, this year. Now that the fund is approved by Town Meeting, the School Committee and Superintendent Erin McMahon are now responsible for proposing a plan for how to spend the funds, which will go before the Finance Committee

He also left $5,000 for the Methodist Episcopal Church of East Saugus, to pay the pastor’s salary. He must have really liked him. Five grand in 1932 was a lot of money. Q: Please tell me about the logistics of your cemetery project. A: I saw Mr. Johnson’s headstone again this year, and it was really, really dirty. I’m probably more concerned about it because I am a member of the town Cemetery Commission. And one of the members mentioned a Facebook group called “The Good Cemeterian,” a group of people who donate their time and are dedicated to cleaning headstones. I had the urge that I had to clean it for him. It was the biggest undertaking for my stone cleaning. I have a considerable amount of hours invested in it – at least eight hours. I had some help from Tom Raiche, a former Saugonian and Saugus High graduate. He likes to clean headstones, too, and he came down one day and gave me a hand. Q: You had to get permission to clean the stone? A: Yes. You have to get permission to clean any headstone in any cemetery, in general. You always should get permission before you start to clean it. Q: Okay, so after you got permission, how did you proceed? A: The first two days that I started cleaning, I felt discourRIBBON CUTTING | FROM PAGE 2 ing entity during the construction phase. The project enhanced an already paved trail in some communities, such as upgrading road crossings to make them better and safer locations. In other communities where the rails were still in place the project involved all aspects of trail design, permitting and construction. Additionally, the trail was designed by the team of Brown, Richardson, and Rowe, landscape architects, and Stantec Consulting engineers, who also administered project construction, and built by the R. Zoppo Corporation. “After nearly 30 years of tireless advocacy, Bike to the Sea is thrilled to celebrate the official ribbon cutting for the Northern Strand Trail,” said Jonah Chiarenza, Executive Director of Bike to the Sea. “We thank the Commonaged that I was in over my head. It was so far gone, that I felt I was way over my head on this project. But after a few times of working on it, I felt good about it and was making some progress. Q: Did you try different cleaning agents? A: No, you only use a soft brush and a wooden paint stick. You don’t want to use any harsh abrasives or a wire brush or bleach that will harm the stone. Q: Okay, what was the cleaning agent you used? A: D-2 Biological Solution. It’s actually used in Arlington National Cemetery, and it’s not sold in stores. Q: And what did you use to apply it? A: You spray it on and let it sit for 10 minutes and scrub it with a soft brush and wash all the dirt off with clean water. The way the stuff works – it is a time-released cleaning agent. It keeps cleaning the stone for a long time. It kills all the algae on the stone, which is all that junk you see on it. Q: Are you still cleaning it? A: No, it’s pretty much done – just letting Mother Nature take care of it now. Q: When did you finish it? A: Last week. Q: You mentioned that there are a few other headstones in the cemetery that you have been working on. How many? A: I’ve cleaned about 30 other stones. But this is the one I’m most proud of. I’ve done a bunch of World War II veterans, too. Then there’s Isabelle Louise Hallin. Q: Oh yes. That’s the Saugus wealth of Massachusetts for this historic investment in recreation and active transportation,” Chiarenza said. What the mayors say about the bike trail Design work for the balance of the Northern Strand Extension in Lynn, which will travel along South Common Street, Market Street and the Carroll Parkway before reaching Nahant Beach, is at the 75 percent stage. Funding for construction is programmed on MassDOT’s Transportation Improvement Program for FY24, which means that work should begin in the fall of 2023 and end in the summer of 2025. On the southern end of the Northern Strand, the City of Everett has been building the segment from West Street to the Mystic River. In addition, DCR is completing the design and permitting of the Mystic River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge.

Vogler) schoolteacher who was forced to resign in 1937 after unsubstantiated rumors that she served alcohol and cigarettes to her students during a practice of a high school play in the basement of her parents’ home. The School Committee voted to exonerate her in January 1942 – 11 days after her tragic Christmas Eve death in her New York City apartment. At the recommendation of Peter Manoogian, who researched the Hallin story, the Annual Town Meeting voted in 2012 to adopt “The Hallin Principle” and approve the creation of the plaque which was unveiled the following year. It reads: “May our actions within this Town Hall lead to greater wisdom and justice rather than sorrow and regret.” The plaque, which includes a photo of Isabelle Louise Hallin, is illuminated and hangs on the wall of the landing between the first and second floors of Sauwork to begin in the summer of 2023, with construction expected to take about two years. The completed project will result in a transportation and recreation corridor of about 11.5 miles from the Somerville side of the Mystic River at Assembly Row to the beach at the Nahant causeway. “We’re thrilled to see the expansion of the Northern Strand and to have Lynn added to the shared use path,” Lynn Mayor Jared Nicholson said. “This initiative will contribute to our goals of increasing connectivity and accessibility to transportation and open, green space throughout the City and beyond,” he said. Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria called the completion of the Northern Strand Trail “a transformative multimodal transportation investment for the communities north of Boston that have been historically underserved by our transportation network.” “I applaud this achievement by the Baker adRon Wallace displayed the cleaning solution he used to remove decades of stains from the headstones of departed Saugonians – including the monument of Benjamin Newhall Johnson.

Q: How many total hours have you devoted to cleaning headstones in Riverside Cemetery? A: Many, many hours; too many to tell you. It’s really hard work, but I enjoy it. I feel like I’m doing a nice thing. I like restoring things anyway. I think it’s a nice thing to do for somebody who is not around anymore. Regarding the Hallin stone, Peter Manoogian gave me contact information to get family permission to clean the stone. ministration, welcoming the Cities of Revere, Saugus and Lynn into the trail network, and look forward to the full completion of the path when the Mystic River bridge opens in the coming years,” DeMaria said. Malden Mayor Gary Christenson called the project a precedent-setting development for his community. “There isn’t anything that has transformed our city like the Northern Strand Community Trail has done,” Mayor Christenson said. “From providing a safe space to bike, run, and walk to creating a place for public art to being a place for families to come together, the trail has achieved all that we had hoped for and it has also proven that hard work is still the key to success,” Christenson said. “Thank you to Bike to the Sea for their 20 years of dedication to making this invaluable project a reality,” he said. I talked to a nephew in Alton, N.H., and he gave me permission to clean the stone. He told me he remembered going there as a little boy to put flowers on it. It was really neat that he told me that – it made my day. And I felt good after I cleaned the stone. Q: Anything else that you would like to share about this project? A: I think it would be neat if the Friends of Breakheart and maybe the DCR would come down to Riverside Cemetery and do a little ceremony. This is the 90th year since he passed, and it would be nice to acknowledge that. Revere Mayor Brian Arrigo called the Northern Strand Community Trail “a shining example of regional collaboration and the commitment of the Commonwealth to enhance the quality of life for the residents of our urban communities.” “Thanks to the hard work of our local and state partners, the residents of Revere will enjoy this trail for generations to come and have enhanced access to open space and outdoor recreation,” Mayor Arrigo said. State Senator Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn) hailed the trail project as a great connector of all the communities in the region. “The Northern Strand Trail continues to bring people together both within and across communities,” Crighton said. “We are thankful for this project, which is a major investment in our region’s public health, economy, and emissions reduction efforts.”

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 28, 2022 Page 11 Saugus girls’ soccer drops Senior Night tilt to Peabody O By Greg Phipps n a foggy evening Wednesday, the Saugus High School girls’ soccer team celebrated its Senior Night but suffered a 3-1 loss to the Peabody Tanners at Christie Serino Jr. Stadium. The Sachems had been on a roll entering the final week of the regular season but dropped consecutive games to Swampscott on Monday and Peabody on Wednesday. In the loss to the Tanners, who had just five wins entering the game, the Sachems had a few good chances offensively in the first half but couldn’t dent the net. Meanwhile Peabody tallied at the midway point of period one to go into the half ahead 1-0. The visitors netted two more in the second half while the Sachems got on the board once. Saugus fell to 11-5-1 on the season with the playoffs right around the corner. Having allowed six goals in their last two games after having been stellar on defense over a three week stretch, the Sachems will look to end the regular season on solid note and regain their momentum when they host Somerville Friday. Saugus honored its three senior players before Wednesday’s contest. Receiving recognition were Lexi Rais, Allison Justice and Ana Flemings. The rest of the roster, which includes the likes of Veronica Ortega, Madi Femino, Shawn Sewell, and Madison Botta, will be Senior player Lexi Rais and family.

Friday ’s game against Somerville is an important one given that it could mean the difference between an opening-round playoff game at home or one on the road. A victory would give the Sachems 12 for the season and could help earn them a high enough seeding to open the tourney on their home turf. Saugus’s Veronica Ortega tracks down a Peabody ball handler on Wednesday. Saugus senior Allison Justice goes up in an attempt to settle the ball in Wednesday night’s game. Saugus boys’ soccer team reaches double digits in victories I By Greg Phipps t has certainly been a turnaround season for the Saugus High School boys’ soccer team, and it appears the development of players in the town’s youth soccer leagues has helped to build a formidable program at the high school level. Since suffering a 5-1 loss to Gloucester back on Oct. 10, the postseason-bound Sachems have reeled off six consecutive wins and have allowed just two goals in those five contests. The team has also reached 12 victories on the season and could be in position for at least a first-round playoff game at home. The latest triumph came on Wednesday on the road against Peabody – a 2-1 defeat of the Tanners. Last week, Saugus knocked off Swampscott, 5-1, on Monday, beat Greater Lawrence Tech last Thursday (a 5-0 shutout) and blanked the Danvers Falcons in an impressive 2-0 home showing last Tuesday. Forward Max Anajjar popped home both goals in the win over Danvers while teammates Nicholas Alves, Cam Soroko and Alejandro Ortega put forth key efforts to aid the cause. The Sachems tallied once each in the first and second halves while, at the same time, playing solid defensively to keep the Falcons off the scoreboard. Head Coach Guillermo Sepulveda has overseen the Sachems’ progression from a borderline playoff challenger in recent years to a legitimate and dangerous postseason representative this fall. He told the press after the Danvers win last week that the town’s youth soccer movement and the players’ familiarity with each other has made a lot of difference. “[The players have] grown up together. They’ve played ball in town,” Sepulveda explained. “A lot of them are a product of Saugus soccer from when they were little kids.” Sepulveda also pointed out that ball possession, patience and ball movement have been the key to the teams’ success this season. “We don’t go for the quick shot all the time,” he said. The Sachems close out the regular season at Mystic Valley on Friday. Saugus forward Max Anajjar scored twice to help the Sachems to a 2-0 win over Danvers last Tuesday.

By Greg Phipps I n a season where victories have been hard to come by, the Saugus High School fi eld hockey team collected its second win of the season with a hard-fought 2-1 triumph over Revere last Friday night at Christie Serino Jr. Stadium. It was Senior Night for the Sachems, and the team’s two seniors - Lindsey Tammaro and Senior player Marissa Patterson and family. Marissa Patterson - were recognized prior to the game. Tammaro celebrated the occasion by scoring one of Saugus’s two tallies. It came on a penalty shot in the second half and turned out to be the game-winner. Cassidy Cheney scored to put the Sachems ahead in the second quarter and give the hosts a 1-0 lead at the half. With two games left in the season this week, Saugus owned a 2-12-2 record. Head coach Barbara Guarente pointed out that this year’s team is extremely young with 10 eighth graders on a roster of 22 players (varsity and JV combined). “We are a young team. The girls have made great strides in their skills and knowledge of the game,” Guarente observed. “They have improved with each game and (the coaches) are really proud of their progress.” Guarente also praised the performance and leadership of her two senior captains Tammaro and Patterson. “They Saugus’s Peyton DiBiasio and Revere’s Isabella Mendieta advance towards a loose ball.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 28, 2022 Page 15 The Sounds of Saugus By Mark E. Vogler Good Morning, Saugus! Looks like we should be in for another nice weekend – a very good Halloween weekend. Unfortunately, the weather forecast, as I am a few days away from deadline yesterday (Thursday, Oct. 27) looks like a rainy Halloween (Monday, Oct. 31). Oh well, it still looks like a darn good weekend to observe Halloween for those who are into the season of trick or treating, witches, goblins and ghosts. For those who haven’t purchased their pumpkin yet, go to “The Pumpkin Patch” that is in its final days on the lawn of the First Congregational Church in Saugus Center abutting Hamilton Street – and across the street from Town Hall. Buying one of those pumpkins gets you in the Fall Spirit and also goes to a good cause. Saugus is one of many communities receiving pumpkins from the Navajo Reservation near Farmington, N.M., working with a program called Pumpkin Patch USA, which coordinates the destination of the pumpkins. The church and the Navajo Reservation both benefit from the pumpkins. Pumpkins of all sizes are still displayed on the church lawn and will be available for purchase every day through Halloween from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. And for those folks who love a Halloween-themed play, you have three days, counting today (Friday, Oct. 28) to check out the Theatre Company of Saugus’s presentation of “Zombie Prom.” The performances for today and tomorrow are 8 p.m. at the American Legion Post 210 at 44 Taylor St. in Saugus. And there’s a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 to $25 and may be purchased in advance online at TCSaugus.org/tickets. Check it out and have some fun. Whatever you do, be safe out there and slow down for the little kids in costume, whom you might not see when you’re texting on your phone while driving over a crosswalk without stopping. Yeah, I see you out there! Some of the same folks who won’t stop in the daytime when I’m in the crosswalk, on Hamilton Street, walking toward the Public Safety Building. Since I started working as the Editor of The Saugus Advocate about six and a half years ago, I have to stop in the crosswalk about 40 percent of the time because stupid and reckless drivers don’t recognize the state law that pedestrians have the right-of-way while in the crosswalk and drivers must stop their vehicles. Stay tuned. Household Hazardous Waste Collection tomorrow! Residents are invited to dispose of their household hazardous waste in an environmentally responsible manner during a collection event tomorrow (Saturday, Oct. 29) from 9 a.m. to noon. This event will be held at the Belmonte Upper Elementary School located at 25 Dow St. This year it will be a contactless event; there will be no preregistration. Residents must stay in their vehicles and hold up a driver’s license, and all materials must be placed in the trunk or rear of the vehicle. Residents will be limited to two carloads, the equivalent of 50 pounds or 50 gallons, of hazardous waste. The rain-or-shine event will allow residents to dispose of a series of household waste products, including rubber cement, airplane glue, fiberglass resins, aerosol cans, photo chemicals, furniture polish, floor and metal polish, oven cleaner, drain and toilet cleaner, spot remover, rug and upholstery cleaner, hobby and artist supplies, photography chemicals, turpentine and chemistry sets. The following garage supplies will also be accepted: fuel/gasoline, kerosene, engine degreaser, brake fluid, carburetor cleaner, transmission fluid, car wax, polishes, driveway sealer, car batteries, antifreeze, cesspool cleaners, roofing tar, swimming pool chemicals, motor oil and car batteries. Accepted workbench waste includes oil-based paints, stains, varnishes, wood preservatives, paint strippers or thinners, solvent adhesives and lighter fluid. Residents may also bring the following yard waste: weed killer, chemical fertilizers, flea control products, mothballs, poisons, insecticides, herbicides, pesticides and fungicides. Residents are urged to take caution when transporting household hazardous materials. Locals may do so by keeping the materials in their original containers, tightening caps and lids, sorting and packing products separately and packing containers in sturdy upright boxes padded with newspaper. Please remember never to mix chemicals or to smoke while handling hazardous materials. The hazardous household waste collection will not accept commercial waste. The following items will not be accepted: empty containers or trash, latex paint, commercial or industrial waste, radioactive waste, smoke detectors, infectious and biological wastes, ammunition, fireworks, explosives, fire extinguishers or syringes. TVs, computers and car tires may be recycled at the drop-off site located at 515 Main St. on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Town of Saugus would like to thank everyone for their cooperation. Please contact Jeannie Meredith at 781-231-4111 with any questions. Looking for a “Trouble in the Forest” response We’ve been playing some phone tag with David DiBarri, Superintendent of the Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational School District, regarding Laura Eisener’s cover story last week, “Trouble in the Forest,” which focused on a group protesting the destruction of 13-plus acres of trees for construction of the new Northeast Metro Tech School. The Voke superintendent did call and left his cell phone number, but we were unable to connect. However, he did send me an email, which included a link –https://northeastbuildingproject.com/faq/ – with some questions and answers, a few of them which seemed to be related to the issues that concern the group that’s been protesting the destruction of trees at the construction site. One of the questions: How are you allowed to go in and remove any trees you want and blast the hillside? The answer posted by Voke officials: “Please note that the project only intends to remove rock and trees that are necessary to accommodate the new school and associated fields and parking. The property for the new school is being built on private (School District owned) land. The local & MSBA funding has been secured, so with proper local approvals the project can move forward.” The website also mentions, “If you do not see your question answered above or have any other questions/comments please fill out to the form below or send an email to @NortheastMetro@ PMAConsultants.com.” The website offers another question: How can the local community keep informed and/ or be involved as this project progresses? The answer that The Voke administration provides: • Project website: northeastbuildingproject.com • Project Facebook Page: facebook.com/newNEMT • Project Instagram Page: Instagram.com/newNEMT • Attend School Building Committee meetings, typically held on the second Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. via Zoom. Readers who are concerned about the project should check out these webpages – and complain if they are not satisfied with the answers. Meanwhile, we hope to get some comments from the superintendent or other Voke officials on the exact extent of the tree removal and destruction to pave the way for the new school building. Stay tuned. Town-Wide Fall Street Sweeping underway Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree and the Department of Public Works announced that the Town’s Annual Fall Street Sweeping Program began on Tuesday, Oct. 11. Sweepers began in the area of North Saugus (Precincts 5 and 7) and worked their way across town, working from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Town of Saugus asks that residents keep vehicles off the street when sweepers are in the area. Locals may assist the Department of Public Works by sweeping their driveways or sidewalks into the gutter area prior to the program’s start. But they should not sweep driveways and/or sidewalks once the sweepers have swept.

Page 16 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 28, 2022 Saugus Gardens in the Fall Here’s what’s blooming in town this week to make your walks more enjoyable By Laura Eisener T here are two different flowers usually considered birthday flowers for October: cosmos and marigolds, both members of the composite family (Asteraceae). The flowers we usually call marigolds are annuals in the genus Tagetes, although back in the 17th century people would more likely be referring to pot marigold (Calendula spp.), which also has a golden flower and which was used medicinally and as a dye plant. Marigold foliage has a distinctive fragrance, which helps keep deer and rabbits, as well as some insect pests, away from these plants. Rabbits are plentiful in most Saugus neighborhoods and deer in a few, so this may be an important consideration. Long-stemmed varieties make long-lasting cut flowers. Some species are used in cooking. The most widely available marigold species, French marigold (Tagetes patula) has double flowerheads, which means that there are many layers of ray florets. This species originated in Mexico, not France. Although they are typically planted here in late May and bloom all through the summer, Donna Manoogian and Nancy Sayles finished planting daffodil bulbs at the Revolutionary War monument at the Saugus Center cemetery, a joint project of the Saugus Garden Club and Saugus Historical Society. (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate by Laura Eisener) they often outlast other annuals when the cooler weather of fall comes, and their autumn tones of orange, yellow and red seem especially appropriate to the season. Many popular varieties have flowers which combine two of these colors, although solid yellows or oranges are also widely available. After the wet summer of 2021, I saw marigold flowers poking up in the front lawn of the library, probably self-sown from the children’s garden planter, and these seedlings managed to bloom at a few inches tall after adapting to the lawn mower’s management of the plant’s height. With this summer’s dry weather, I have not seen as many self-sown plants. There are still plenty of marigolds in bloom planted along front walks or in containers, now keeping company with grinning pumpkins. African marigolds (Tagetes erecta) are the tallest marigolds and may grow up to four feet high, with large double flowerheads that are almost spherical. Despite their common name, these are also native to Mexico, and they are sometimes called Mexican marigold or Aztec marigold. They may be yellow or light orange, usually one solid color. They are readily available and only a little less common than the French marigolds. Signet marigolds (Tagetes tenuifolia) are tiny, with very feathery foliage, and are often used as an edible garnish on salads and other dishes. They usually have just five petals on their small flowerheads, and a slightly lemon-like flavor. Guess where they’re from? Also Mexico and South America, like the other species above. Paper birch (Betula papyrReflections of colorful foliage in a pond in the Golden Hills neighborhood are among the pleasures of the season. (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate by Laura Eisener) ifera) and gray birch (Betula populifolia) are both white barked birch species which can be found in Saugus, and their leaves are turning yellow now. Gray birch is found in sandy and gravelly soils, while paper birch prefers forest soils, but their habitats do overlap. Bark color is not especially reliable in distinguishing the species, but leaf shape is quite different – paper birch has a pointed oval leaf shape while gray birch leaves are much more triangular. Young trees and branches do not show Golden leaves of gray birch in Golden Hills are close to their peak color this week.

Looking forward to spring, the Saugus Historical Society and Saugus Garden Club joined forces to plant about 175 daffodil bulbs at the Revolutionary War Monument at Saugus Center, where they can be expected to bloom around Patriots’ Day. The daffodils were selected because they bloom at such an appropriate time, but also because they will need little care and are not likely to be eaten by rabbits or squirrels. Editor’s Note: Laura Eisener is a landscape design consultant who helps homeowners with landscape design, plant selection and placement of trees and shrubs, as well as perennials. She is a member of the Saugus Garden Club and offered to write a series of articles about Gray birch leaves are definitely triangular, unlike the more oval leaves of paper birch, which is also native to New England.

Railroad buffs Paul Kenworthy, Jack Klecker, Laura Eisener and possibly others will share their interest in trains. Steve Carlson has shared some of his research on the “Saugus Branch” Railroad, which served our community for 100 years and which inspired Elliott Paul’s 1912 book “Linden on the Saugus Branch,” an account of his “boyhood in a New England Town.” The event takes place at 7 p.m. at 30 Main St. in Saugus, the home of the Saugus Historical Society and the Saugus Cable TV station. New town residents and any railroad enthusiasts are especially welcome this month, and the meeting is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. For more information contact Saugus Historical Society President Laura Eisener at 781-231-5988. A sad “Shout Out” to the late Kathy Perkins Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member Jeanie Bartolo offered what she called “a sad ‘Shout Out’” on the passing of a beloved Saugus school nurse who died on Oct. 14. “A sad ‘Shout Out’ on the passing of legendary Kathy Perkins, retired Belmonte Middle School Nurse,” Jeanie wrote. “I had the honor of volunteering in the nursing office with Kathy for 13 years. Kathy didn’t just take care of the students’ cuts and bruises; she motivated their self-esteem and self-worth so they could succeed in life. She led by example and helped organize student groups and was their biggest cheerleader. I’m sure there’s not a dry eye today as each and every student who ever passed through her office can remember a moment when Mrs. Perkins made everything all better. I saw with my own eyes the impact Kathy made on so many young people’s lives and how much they loved her, myself included. Rest In Peace my dear friend.” Want to “Shout Out” a fellow Saugonian? This is an opportunity for our paper’s readers to single out – in a brief mention – remarkable acts or achievements by Saugus residents or an act of kindness or a nice gesture. Just send an email (mvoge@comcast.net) with a mention in the subject line of “An Extra Shout Out.” No more than a paragraph; anything longer might lend itself to a story and/ or a photo. We have a winner! Congratulations to Mila Moschella for making the right identification in last week’s “Guess Who Got Sketched” contest. Mila is one of several readers answering correctly, but she was the only one to have her name picked in a drawing from the green Boston Red Sox cap. Here’s the correct answer, offered by the person who goes by the name of The Sketch Artist: “The answer to last week’s sketch are two humble bright Stars, Ed and Jean Lyons. “Ed leads with his warm sense of humor such as Groucho Marx comment about ‘I don’t want to belong to any group that would have me as a member’ (many THE SOUNDS | SEE PAGE 18

Ed and Jean met at John Hancock, where they both worked in departments next to each other. Ed asked her on a date and they became an item and were married in 1952. They are celebrating over 52 years of marriage with the apparent closeness of honeymooners! “Ed worked a few years at Hancock & then worked as a Boston Custodian and retired after 35 years. Jean was a Campfire Girl (which it’s fun to still hear the ‘Wohelo’ welcome shared among Campfire Girls of the past!). Jean was a member of the (Masons sponsored) ‘Blue Belle Highlanders’ of all girls with Bagpipes and drums! Jean played the bagpipes. The band’s manager had booked them as far as Canada for the Highlander Games. They performed in New York at World’s Fair, Boston Garden, local parades, Topsfield Fair and marched the Masons to church under the swords at the Masons’ special functions! The BlueBelle Highlanders and their music were in demand. The most requested song was ‘Scotland the Brave’! Jean was in the Blue-belle Highlanders from 1961-1966. “Ed and Jean are longtime Saugonians and love Saugus and their neighbors! They give excellent support and participation in many events, often from the sidelines with encouragement & warm smiles. “A few of their favorite events include Founders Day and St. John’s Annual sit down Roast Beef dinner which is fantastic (recently it has been take out due to the pandemic but they were in line for take out!) “Ed’s and Jeans attitude reminds me of another quote by Groucho ‘I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose what it shall be. Yesterday is dead, Tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet, I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it!’ – Groucho Marx “Ed and Jean are great neighbors to have; great friends to be privileged to know. “Yours Truly, “The Sketch Artist” Legion breakfasts Saugus American Legion Post 210 is hosting its popular breakfasts from 8-9 a.m. on Fridays.
