SAUGUS Town Meeting, Housing Election Results - see page 18 ADVOCATE Vol. 22, No. 45 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net Published Every Friday 781-233-4446 Friday, November 8, 2019 ~ THE ADVOCATE ASKS ~ New Board of Selectmen Chair Cogliano says he would have saved custodians’ jobs Editor’s Note: For this week’s A SEA OF SIGNS: College student Andrew James Whitcomb (right), 19, joined by his mother, Maureen Whitcomb, might have been the busiest candidate during Tuesday’s town elections. Besides mounting a bid to become the youngest member of Saugus Town Meeting, Andrew designed this sign holder to support all seven incumbents running for Selectmen and the School Committee, two other School Committee candidates and his mom’s successful campaigns for reelection to a seat on Town Meeting and the Saugus Housing Authority. Andrew spent 13 hours campaigning outside the Belmonte Middle School polling location. Despite his efforts, he finished just one vote behind the winner of the fifth and final seat for Precinct 4 Town Meeting, missing out on a dream to join his mom. Five of the seven incumbents got beat. Two other candidates got elected. See inside for story, more town election coverage and photos. (Saugus Advocate Photo by Mark E.

Cogliano, Sr. and questioned him about some of his concerns as he begins his two-year term as chair of the Board of Selectmen. Fellow board members elected him unanimously to that position after he finished as the top vote-getter in Tuesday’s town elections. Cogliano, 53, is a fourth-generation Saugonian and has lived in East Saugus most of his life. He has been married to Therese (Meehan) Cogliano for 29 years. They have four children. He is a 1984 graduate of Saugus High School. Cogliano has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a major in Management. He also attended Massachusetts School of Law. He is the owner of A. Cogliano Realty Services and a licensed realtor with Littlefield Real Estate, which is also located in Saugus. He was first elected to the Saugus Board of Selectmen in 1991. Highlights of this week’s interview follow. Q: So, congratulations on getting the most votes of the dozen candidates running for the five seats on the Board of Selectmen. Has this happened before? A: The best I ever came in before was third. The first time I was elected I was 25. Now I’m TOP VOTE GETTER: Anthony W. Cogliano Sr. during an interview Tuesday night at La Vita Mia, where he and his campaign supporters celebrated a triumphant return to the Saugus Board of Selectmen after topping a field of a dozen candidates. Cogliano, who drew 2,729 votes while winning all 10 precincts, was the biggest winner in Tuesday’s Town Elections. The other four selectmen-elect made him the unanimous choice to chair the board for his two-year term. He was first elected to the board 28 years ago and served for 10 years before taking a break from Saugus politics. 53. I was first elected 28 years ago, and I was third on the ballot then.

Page 2 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, November 8, 2019 Payback at the Polls Voters avenge School Committee’s decision to replace school custodians • 100 percent of School Committee incumbents voted out • Half of the Selectmen incumbents defeated • 20 percent of Town Meeting Members ousted By Mark E. Vogler M inutes after the School Committee took a public vote to replace 21 school custodians with a private company, a union official vowed there would be political consequences. Jim Durkin, the legislative director for AFSCME Council 93, predicted that the School Committee members who voted for privatization of custodial services would have difficulty getting reelected in the town’s fall elections. “There are 4,063 union houseOur 80th Year EDUCATION Next Classes DRIVER 2 Week Night Class Nov. 18 1 Week Day Class Dec. 23 (school vacation week) CALL - ENROLL or Register Online 617-387-9121 HENRYSAUTOSCHOOL.COM EVERETT AUTO SCHOOL “Successful Key To Driving” Since 1938 Gift Certificates Available hold members in Saugus,” Durkin told The Saugus Advocate after the June 26 meeting. “We’re going to make sure that every single one of them is aware of what transpired here today ... They will all live to regret it. We’re going to make sure people never forget who owns this,” he said in an interview. As events turned out, Durkin’s threat for political payback became a battle cry for the custodians, local union members and a large network of supporters. During the fall political campaign, they targeted the three incumbent School Committee members who were in the majority of the split 3-2 vote to privatize: Committee Chair Jeanette E. Meredith and Members Linda N. Gaieski and Marc Charles Magliozzi. The custodians and their supporters widened their targets beyond the School Committee. They pointed fingers at the Board of Selectmen and even at Town Meeting, which passed a symbolic non-binding resolution supporting the custodians after Town Meeting Member Ronald Wallace of Precinct 5 was denied the opportunity to introduce the measure. The resolution came too late though, because selectmen didn’t accommodate Selectman Candidate Corinne R. Riley’s request for a Special Town Meeting to be scheduled before the School Committee’s vote. By the time voters went to the polls on Tuesday, the summertime memory of the beloved custodians losing their jobs was very much on their minds. Meredith, the most-veterVOTER OUTRAGE: “Walking door-to-door, listening to the voters, it was crystal clear to me that the voters were angered by the treatment of the custodians,” says new Board of Selectmen Vice Chair Corinne R. Riley (Saugus Advocate Photo by Mark E. Vogler) an member of the committee and its longtime chair, became an Election Day casualty along with members Gaieski and Magliozzi. Meredith, who had topped the field two years ago with 2,252 votes, finished a distant seventh with 1,455 votes. Gaieski finished ninth among 10 candidates, plummeting from 2,124 in 2017 to 1,224 on Tuesday. Magliozzi finished dead last at 1,122 – 799 votes less than when he was first elected two years ago. Impact on selectmen’s race Many local observers of the School Department figured it would be an uphill battle for the three School Committee members. But there would be more political fallout. The Board of Selectmen – which had ridden a popular tide since engineering the successful 2015 recall of the four selectmen responsible for firing Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree, and then rehiring Crabtree – had several casualties. Selectmen Jennifer E. D’Eon and Scott Albert Brazis, who finished third and fourth, respectively, when the entire board was reelected two years ago, both lost badly in Tuesday’s election. D’Eon’s vote total slipped from 1,935 in 2017 to 1,447 this week, a disappointing eighth place finish. Brazis went from 1,905 two years ago to 1,385 on Tuesday. And the Board’s Chair – Debra C. Panetta, who was the top vote-getter two years ago with 2,314 votes – finished fourth on Tuesday (2,033) while Vice Chair Jeffrey V. Cicolini went from second place (2,055) to fifth place (1,803) in this week’s elections. Meanwhile, 10 incumbent Town Meeting members – 20 percent of the 50-member body – were kicked out of office. Several winners and losers in this week’s elections told The Saugus Advocate that they believe the custodian issue resonated loudly with town voters. So why did so many incumbents lose their seats on Town Meeting, School Committee and the Board of Selectmen? “Walking door-to-door, listening to the voters, it was crystal clear to me that the voters were angered by the treatment of the custodians,” concluded Corinne R. Riley, who finished second among selectmen after garnering 2,210 votes on Tuesday. “Moreover, when the whole town made their case to the School Committee, they were ignored. We all need to remember that in our democracy the power rests with the people more than the government or its employees,” she said. Riley organized a petition drive for a Special Town Meeting that allowed Wallace to introduce a nonbinding resolution to support the custodians. She also organized a petition drive for an article that would set up procedures for Town Meeting members to introduce resolutions on short notice. That was later invalidated by the state Attorney General’s Office, which determined that all business coming before Town Meeting needs to be on the warrant. “The voters wielded that power yesterday [Tuesday, Nov. 5] and spoke very clearly,” Riley said of the impact that the custodian issue had on the election results. “I heard them loud and clear, and what I heard was that there will be accountability in Saugus, regardless of who occupies any seat or office – no exceptions. I would not have it any other way; that’s the beauty of our democracy.” Riley finished 14 votes behind fifth-place finisher Mark Mitchell two years ago. Mitchell decided not to run for reelection this year after being indicted for allegedly stealing $1.3 million for the nonprofit Boston Center for Adult Education. It’s clear Riley’s visible support of the custodians helped her election chances. As the second-top vote-getter among selectmen, she will serve as the board’s vice chair for the next two years. “It was like a revolution” Selectman D’Eon, a popular member of the Board of Selectmen over the past five years, was visibly upset with Tuesday’s outcome. In an interview with The Saugus Advocate, D’Eon said she believes she was a casualty of the custodian issue – but unfairly so. “Playing Monday morning quarterback, I can tell you, there were many reasons so many incumbents were not reelected to the Board of Selectmen and School Committee this term,” D’Eon said. “I believe many incumbents, myself included, were targeted by outraged residents for the School Committee’s decision to privatize the custodial staff. The political factions within the town capitalized on the momentum of said custodian elimination in a coordinated effort to overturn the two major Boards in Saugus,” she said. “The custodial issue provided the perfect storm to execute this plan. The amount of people that pulled papers and ran in the election diluted the votes for both boards, further drawing votes from the incumbents. The wave of opposition was insurmountable. It is a testament to their effort that Selectman Cicolini and Selectman Panetta prevailed in such a large group of nominees.” Newly elected Town Meeting Member Peter Z. Manoogian, Sr. of Precinct 10 said he believes the election defeat of so many incumbent candidates in several town-wide offices s is unprecedented during his threeplus decades of involvement in town government. “I’ve never seen it across the board like this,” Manoogian said. “In the 10 at-large seats, you had an opportunity to reelect PAYBACK | SEE PAGE 18

That being said, the results of the election last night sent a clear message to me that the voters held every elected official in town, to some degree, accountable for the privatization of the custodians and were seeking change. “Whether I agree or disagree is not important, it is their right to feel the way they do. My focus now and over the next 2 years will be to work with each member of the BOS collaboratively so we can continue the unprecedented progress Saugus has been experiencing over the past 5 years. I am confident that we each have strengths and weaknesses to complement one another and we will put our best foot forward for the best interest of Saugus. I would like to wish Jennifer D’Eon, Mark Mitchell and Scott Brazis all the best in their future endeavors. It has been an amazing honor and experience serving the residents of Saugus together over the past five years.” Selectman Debra Panetta “Clearly, the situation with the custodians had an impact on the Selectman’s race, even though the Selectmen have no authority to interfere with TRACKING THE NUMBERS: Left to right, former Selectman Mark Mitchell and Selectman Jeffrey Cicolini, scan the precinct totals in the race for Selectmen to see what’s trending after the voting ended Tuesday night.

To me, that speaks to the need for transparency. Without that, the voters hold their elected officials accountable by the most powerful method they have – their vote. “Now that the voters have elected me to this Board, I pledge to do my very best to promote transparency and accountability, and to cooperate with the other members of this and other Boards and Committees, employees of the town, State resources, the business community, and most importantly, the people of Saugus, toward all the challenges and opportunities in front of us.

Moore was among 21 custodians who lost their jobs this summer when the School Committee voted to replace them with a private company. But Moore, a 25-year veteran employee for Saugus Public Schools and a 1964 Saugus High School graduate, was all smiles on Wednesday night as he joined a gathering at Saugus Town Hall for the swearing-in of the new School Committee (five new members), the new Board of Selectmen and two new members of the Saugus Housing Authority. “Christmas came early this year,” said Moore, who had two reasons to celebrate — winning a seat in Precinct 2 as a new Town Meeting member and knowing that none of the School Committee members could get elected. He was also glad to see two incumbent selectmen and 10 incumbent Town Meeting members defeated. “I’m ecstatic that people … read between the lines and they came out in force to support the right people,” Moore said.

W MAKING A STATEMENT: Longtime former school custodian Bill Moore savors winning a Town Meeting seat in Precinct 2 in Tuesday’s town elections. (Saugus Advocate Photo by Mark E. Vogler) “I think what happened to the custodians had a big impact on all of the races in town: School Committee, Selectmen and Town Meeting. You know, it’s tough to knock out an incumbent Town Meeting member. But my precinct knocked out three of them,” he said. Moore finished fourth with 212 votes and was among three newcomers. Joseph John Vecchione IV finished second, just one vote behind longtime Town Meeting Member Peter A. Rossetti, who topped the field with 247 votes. Newcomer Christopher P. Riley, husband of Selectman-elect Corinne R. Riley, finished third with 244 votes and incumbent member Robert James Camuso, Sr. took the fifth and final seat with 192 votes. The three incumbents who lost their seats were Thomas A. Falasca (188), Christine M. Moreschi (170) and Stephen D. Sweezey (151). “I think this election is really going to affect the morale of a lot of people in town,” Moore said. “They will be more productive and happier employees, and the town will move in the right direction,” he said. Selectman Riley will speak at Veterans Day ceremony N ewly elected Board of Selectmen Vice Chair Corinne R. Riley will be the keynote speaker for the town’s Veterans Day Observance set for 11 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 11 at Veterans Park (Winter & Central Sts.). “She does a lot for the veterans in this town … Because it’s after the election, they can’t accuse me of being partisan,” Saugus Veterans Council Commander Steve Castinetti said.

No, they do not play football; they did when I was there, with Harry Agganis from Lynn Classical at quarterback, but eventually decided it was too expensive to carry out the game. UMass spends about five million on football each year. This season the Bruins have three notable players who formerly played for the BU Terriers: Charlie McAvoy, Charlie Coyle and Matt Grzelcyk.

Matt Grzelcyk was born January 5, 1994, in Charlestown, Mass., and as a Bruin weighs in at 176 lbs., somewhat small (5ft. 10) under today’s standard for a professional defenseman. As a youth he played for the Middlesex Islanders and competed in the Quebec International PeeWee Hockey Tournament. Next, he advanced to the Belmont Hill School in the 2009-2010 year, accumulating 20 points. His next stop was the U.S. National Development Team, playing there for two seasons in the U.S. Hockey League, where he played 60 games. Matt was selected to the U.S. U17 team in 2011, the World Junior Championship (WJC) 18 national team in 2012, and the U.S. WJC team in 2014. At BU he played for four years, scoring 100 points as a Terrier. As a junior he became captain, was selected to the CCM First Team All-American, Hockey East First Team All Star, and the All-Regional Team of the NCAA Tournament. He was named to the Hockey East All-Tournament Team and was fourth in the nation in points per game (0.95) among defensemen. Grzelcyk was drafted by the Boston Bruins 85th overall in 2012 and was then assigned to their 505 Broadway Everett, MA 02149 Tel: 617-387-1120 www.gkdental.com • Family Dentistry • Crowns • Bridges • Veneers/Lumineers • Dental Implants • All on 4 Dental Implants • Emergency Dentist • Kid Friendly Dentist • Root Canals • Dentures • Invisalign Braces • Snap On Smile • Teeth Whitening We are the smile care experts for your entire family Providence farm club. Matt got 32 points in 70 games for Providence in the 2016-2017 season, and near the end of the season, he was brought up for two games. In the 2017-2018 season, he played 61 games for the Bruins and was sent back down to Providence. The 2018-2019 season saw him back to the NHL, where he played in 66 games with 18 points, not bad for a defenseman. Next up we have Charlie Coyle, who played for Weymouth High School, and as a freshman helped the Wildcats into their first ever MIAA finals. During the tournament the Wildcats knocked off Malden Catholic, Austin Prep and Central Catholic before losing to BC High in the final. He transferred to Thayer Academy in Braintree, then came back to Weymouth as a senior. His next jump was to Tier III Junior A ice hockey in the Eastern Junior Hockey League with the South Shore Kings, and he finished fifth in the league in overall scoring, getting 63 points in 42 games. He signed with Boston University to play in the 2010-2011 season and scored 26 points in 37 regular season games for the Terriers. Matt was drafted by the San Jose Sharks, 28th overall in 2010 and left BU in 2011 in December and signed with the Saint John Sea Dogs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Drafted by San Jose, he was traded to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Brent Burns and a second-round pick in the 2012 NHL draft. He signed a threeyear entry-level contract in Minnesota; they let him finish the season in the Quebec Juniors. Matt made headlines by making a young fan named Henry dream come true by waving to the boy during warmups, and the result was a viral plug on YouTube. In the 2015-2016 season, Matt was second in goals scored for the Wild: 21 with 42 points. Coyle played seven seasons for the Wild. In the 2017-2018 season Matt broke his leg, which ended his string of 316 consecutive games for the Wild. On February 20, 2019, he was traded to the Bruins in exchange for Ryan Donato (another local from Harvard) and a 5th round pick the following draft. Charlie was inconsistent early on for the Bruins, but eventually became the third line center for the squad, scoring 9 goals and 16 points in 24 games. In the 2019 playoffs, Matt scored 9 goals and had 7 assists. He has two cousins who also played in the NHL: Tony Amonte and Bobby Sheehan.

Charlie is 6 ft and 208 pounds, a good size for a defenseman. He was selected by the Bruins 14th overall in the 2016 NHL draft. Charlie played for the New York Rangers youth ice hockey team in the Quebec International Pee-Wee Tournament in 2010. He played for two seasons for the U.S. National Development Team, then signed to play for Boston University in August 2013. McAvoy was a member of the USA team that won the Gold Medal in the 2017 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship, and he was awarded the Player of the Game Honors in the Gold Medal game. He ended his college career on March 29, 2017, and signed an amateur tryout with the Providence Bruins, and on April 10, McAvoy signed with Boston – an entrylevel NHL contract – a real bargain for the Bruins. Charlie was thrown into the playoffs with the Bruins despite having no NHL experience, and recorded the second-most ice time and got three assists in six games. His first regular season game was on October 5, 2017, in the season opener against the Nashville Predators where he had a goal and assist in a 4-3 win. On December 18, 2017, he recorded what has been called a “Gordie Howe Hat Trick” as he scored a goal, added an assist and a fighting expulsion in the same game. Shortly after New Years’ Charlie was operated on for supraventricular tachycardia, a heart arrhythmia. He resumed practice time at the end of January, then resumed full team practice on February 1. On February 5 he resumed Bruins play, skating 18:51 minutes for the Bruins. On February 27, 2018, McAvoy scored the overtime winning goal against the Carolina Hurricanes in a 4-3 home ice win, the youngest Bruin to ever accomplish that feat. In 2018 he was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team and also was a player for the IIHF World Championship Team and was voted fifth for the Calder Memorial Trophy. In 2019 after seven games, he suffered a concussion and was placed on injured reserve on October 30. He was activated on December 6 after missing 20 games. Charles McAvoy has been awarded a gold medal at every junior level, winning at the 2014 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, the 2015 IIHF World U18 Championships and the 2017 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship. In 2016 he was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team, and in 2017 he was selected as an AHCA East First-Team All-American and the Hockey East First AllStar Team. My hope is that the Bruins will win the Stanley Cup in 2020 and Boston University will win the Hockey East Championship, then the NCAA College Championship. My friend, Tony Struzziero, while he agrees with me about the Bruins, he tells me that he is pulling for Boston College to win both titles.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, November 8, 2019 Page 7 School Committee Race at a Glance Winners are in bold: Thomas R. Whittredge Ryan P. Fisher John S. Hatch Arthur Grabowski Joseph D. Gould William A. Marchand Jr. *Jeanette E. Meredith Darren S. Ring *Linda N. Gaieski *Marc Charles Magliozzi What the winners had to say Thomas Whittredge “It’s a little bit overwhelming, but at the same time I know people wanted some change. I think the custodians issue definitely had an impact on what happened here. And I think people wanted new leadership. “Right now, I am looking forward to the challenge and working closely with the superintendent and the other committee members to improve the school district. I know Jeannie has done a lot for the town. And I want to thank her for all of the work she has done over the last couple of years.” Ryan Fisher “The custodians meant a lot to a lot of people. They aren’t just people who clean the schools. This was a hot button issue that people didn’t forget. “I was surprised and very gratified at the results. I wasn’t expecting this to happen. I just appreciate the work everybody does as a School Committee member. This is a thankless job and you don’t get a lot of pats on the back for doing this. This is our chance to address a lot of tough issues.” Arthur Grabowski “It was a tough day in Saugus if an “I” (incumbent) followed your name on the ballot. “I think that the School Committee vote showed that the residents will not stand for arrogance and disrespect in their elected officials. They also recognized that the privatization of the school custodians was something that they vehemently opposed. There was overwhelming community support for keeping the custodians, as witnessed by the hundreds who signed a petition in opposition to the privatization, as well as a near unanimous vote from town meeting for a resolution opposing the privatization of the custodians and asking the School Committee to reconsider. “While the electorate in Saugus may be somewhat forgiving of their elected officials, the fact that Saugus high school and middle school have fallen from the bottom 25 percent of TOP VOTE-GETTER: Thomas Whittredge celebrates at Prince Pizzeria on Tuesday night after learning he had drawn the most votes – 2,366 – of any of the candidates running for School Committee. (Saugus Advocate Photos by Mark E. Vogler) all similar schools in Massachusetts to the bottom 10 percent of similar schools…has caused parents to expect more from a school committee and administration that seems to concern themselves with everything else but bringing a laser focus on improving student performance. That lack of achievement and the total arrogance and disrespectful display at School Committee meetings brought the broom out and swept an ineffectual school committee out of office. “The new school committee, to a man, has committed themselves to being the servants of the public and having meetings at times that are convenient to the parents and being completely transparent and above board in all their actions. The goal is to instill a sense of confidence and trust that the residents can approach any school committee meeting and be assured that their ideas and thoughts will be heard and considered.” Joseph Gould “The custodian issue hurt the incumbents so I believe that was the driver for them getting low vote totals. “I personally was very pleased that so many gave me the support and votes and I very much look forward to serving.” What the losers had to say Marc Charles Magliozzi “First off, I want to congratulate the members who were elected, I am sure that Tom, Ryan, John and Dennis will do a great job. I hope that they continue to move the district forward and continue to implement the policies that we began. “In summary, I believe that we were not re-elected because of the decision the five of us made to outsource the custodial services. I know that it was not a decision that was www.reverealuminumwindow.com taken lightly by any of us and if we could turn back time, I would have handled the situation differently. I would not have changed my decision but I would have had more discussions about the process. Unfortunately, I was bound by laws and an oath that I took to not speak during Impact Bargaining. “What I am truly disappointed about is how many people carried themselves during the last month. While I understand that being in public office puts myself under a microscope, what I didn’t realize is that people wouldn’t have regard for me when I was with my children. “There were times when I was driving with my children in the car and people would call me names and be disrespectful with my children in the car. When I had to explain to my children what the reason was, they couldn’t understand why someone would resort to name calling. I have always tried to teach my children to be respectful even when you don’t SCHOOL COMMITTEE | SEE PAGE 8 2,366 2,260 1.907 1,888 1,715 1,707 1,455 1,415 1,224 1,122 *Denotes incumbent SNOW BLOWER SALES, SERVICE & REPAIRS Pickup/Delivery Available 781-289-6466 AUTOTECH 1989 SINCE Get Your Vehicle Winter Ready!

I would also like to thank my family, friends, and all the Saugus residents that have trusted in and supported me in my six-year journey. It was truly an honor to serve on the School Committee and many sub-committees, advocate for the children, and make real, positive change in the community over the years. Unfortunately, my time on the Committee was cut short because a professional decision was made personal.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, November 8, 2019 Page 9 Car crashes through Giovanni’s front window T he Saugus Police Department is investigating an incident involving a car that crashed through the entrance of a local restaurant last weekend. Interim Chief Ronald Giorgetti said in a statement that Saugus Police and Fire responded to Giovanni’s Roast Beef & Pizza located at 194 Broadway for a reported motor vehicle crash on Nov. 2 shortly after 7 a.m. First responders found a 2016 Mercedes Benz E350 had crashed about threequarters of the way into the front of the building. Rescuers located the driver, a 57-year-old Melrose woman. The driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle. She was evaluated at the scene but declined further medical attention. Police said no one was inside the building at the time, as the business was closed. Police called Saugus Inspectional Services to the scene. The business will not be allowed to reopen unSTOREFRONT DAMAGE: This car caused significant damage to Giovanni’s Roast Beef & Pizza when it drove right into the restaurant. (Photo Courtesy to The Saugus Advocate by Lt. Damian Drella of The Saugus Fire Department) til any structural damage is assessed. The incident is under investigation by the Saugus Police Department. An initial on-scene investigation indicates that the driver did not appear to be impaired and that human error or mechanical failure are the two most likely causes of the crash. ~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ The voters spoke up for the 21 custodians To The Editor: Through all of our efforts as citizens of Saugus to make the existing School Committee understand the travesty of eliminating 21 school custodians in favor of privatization, we hoped they would listen to all of us. That never happened. Along with the Superintendent of Schools (DeRousi), the School Committee clandestinely worked to make the change. It was so frustrating, sad and unjustified. We held signs that said “See you on November 5th .” And indeed we did. It is so bittersweet – our hearts break for those 21 custodians who were disrupted from their jobs that they loved and their lives in general. But, WE WON! Big Time! All the remaining School Committee (Meredith, Gaieski and Magliozzi) – OUT!! It doesn’t save the 21 custodians that lost their jobs to privatization but it is both pay back and pay it forward with a new slate of School Committee members who will hopefully have a better value system. A free press allowed so many of us to let the town know about the travesty that had taken place. In a small town it is such a voice. I am writing this as my thank you to the paper and the others who wrote letters to the editor and kept the issue in the face of town voters! To Bill Moore (former custodian at the Veterans Memorial School) who I met once again as I went to vote – the sign you were holding said all that could be left for us to do “REMEMBER THE CUSTODIANS” – and we did! I sincerely wish we could have saved your jobs - all the best to you and the other faithful, hard-working custodians.

Elected this week were, from left to right, former Selectman Michael Serino, newcomer and new Vice Chair Corinne Riley, former Selectman and new Chair Anthony Cogliano, Sr. and incumbent Selectmen Debra Panetta and Jeffrey Cicolini. (Saugus Advocate Photo by Mark E. Vogler) Work begins on Town-Wide Master Plan (Editor’s Note: The following info is from a press release issued by Town Manager Scott Crabtree.) T own Manager Scott C. Crabtree is pleased to announce that work towards the development of a Townwide Master Plan is underway as part of an effort to assist the Town in managing future growth and development. When completed, the Master Plan will also aid the Town in protecting environmental resources, setting priorities for developing and maintaining infrastructure and public facilities, creating a framework for future policy decisions, promoting open democratic planning and providing guidance to land owners, developers and permitting authorities. The Town is moving forward, with the assistance of the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, in researching and assembling the Master Plan, which will include a statement of goals and policies for land use, housing, economic development, natural and cultural resources, open space and recreation, services and facilities, transportation and implementation. The Town will incorporate input from residents and stakeholders as part of the compilation process, which could take one-and-a-half to two years. The latest version of the Town’s Master Plan is decades old. Town Meeting members recently supported a $150,000 investment to update the it. Town Meeting members also supported and approved a two-year moratorium on the construction of multifamily dwellings of three or more units to allow the Town to analyze the impact on Saugus, which will be addressed through the Master Plan. “An updated Town-wide Master Plan will study and analyze local development and how it has and will continue to impact the community,” said Town Manager Crabtree. “It will certainly benefit the Town and its residents and businesses to have and build off of that information, and serve as a guide to the Town on how best to move forward with current and future growth and development.” The two-year temporary moratorium will provide the Town with time to conduct an analysis and comprehensive study to determine the impact of construction on police, fire and emergency public safety, the school district, the water, sewer and roadway infrastructure and the safety of the general public. The Town-wide Master Plan development and the twoyear temporary housing moratorium were both supported and approved by the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee and Town Meeting earlier this year. “I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, Town Meeting, and residents of Saugus for their continued support of important community initiatives such as this,” said Town Manager Crabtree.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, November 8, 2019 Page 11 Saugus celebrates Evans Park grand opening (Editor’s Note: The following info is from a press release issued by the Saugus Town Manager’s Office.) C hildren, residents, Town officials, employees and business owners gathered at Evans Park on Monday, November 4 to admire Saugus’s two brand-new basketball courts and celebrate the park’s grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Excited residents received the first official tour of the new reconfigured park, which features two new, regulation-sized basketball courts, new surrounding sidewalks and granite curbing, reconfigured parking, and new landscaping, drainage, a water fountain, benches and trash receptacles. Security cameras and lighting will be installed as part of the project to increase safety and security on the premises. Lines have been painted in the courts, and the final surface color will be completed in the spring when the weather is warmer. The upgrades, which were supported by the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee and Town Meeting earlier this year, are part of an ongoing effort to continue to improve Saugus’s parks, playgrounds and athletic fields for the children and families of Saugus. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Town Manager Scott Crabtree thanked everyone for their hard work in making this vision a reality, and for their support of important community capital investments such as this. “When we work together as one team, we are able to accomplish so much for our Town,” said Town Manager Crabtree. “I look forward to the children and families being able to enjoy this wonderful park for many years to come.” The Board of Selectmen, School Committee, Town Meeting and Finance Committee members helped to hold the ribbon in place while Board of Selectmen Chairwoman Debra Panetta ceremoniously cut it in two. Following the ceremony, children immediately began playing basketball on the new courts. “The revitalization of the Town’s parks and playgrounds has been a priority of the Board of Selectmen,” said Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta. “I am so pleased to see all the amazing progress we have made together.” For more information, contact the Town Manager’s Office at 781231-4111.

Crabtree and the Board of Selectmen announced this week that a series of radar speed signs are being installed throughout Saugus as part of a continued effort to improve roadway safety and create a safer and more secure environment for walkers and riders alike. Residents will see the solar-powered, ultra-bright, tri-color, LED speed radar signs strategically placed in areas of high traffic volume that have been identified and recommended by a traffic engineering firm through results of the traffic study. The Town engaged The Engineering Company (TEC) of Andover, Mass., to conduct a Town-wide speed limit analysis and take a global approach towards addressing speeding within the Town. TEC worked closely with Town officials and community representatives to identify and study areas where traffic volumes and speeds are a concern and to identify the best placement for accompanying signage. At TEC’s recommendation, the Town invested in a series of Elan City EVOLIS Solar Radar Speed Signs that are being installed throughout the community in an effort to create a safer, more secure environment for walkers and riders. These highly powerful yet budget-friendly; traffic-calming tools detect vehicles from over 1,000 feet away. They can also help correct driver behavior with an average of 25% in speed reduction, according to Elan City. “The safety of our residents and visitors within our Town has always been and will continue to be a top priority to this administration and Board of Selectmen,” said Town Manager Crabtree. “We aim to increase protection and peace of mind for walkers and drivers within our community through this consistent, uniform approach. The new speed signs come with traffic data collection/analysis software that collects data for both sides of the road, including traffic volume, average speeds, fastest speeds and 85th percentiles. The speed signs withstand extreme weather. “I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, Town Meeting, and residents of Saugus for their continued support of important public safety initiatives such as this,” said Town Manager Crabtree.

Page 12 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, November 8, 2019 THE SOUNDS OF SAUGUS By Mark Vogler H ere are a few tidbits that you might want to know about this week in Saugus. A chance for Saugus kids to meet a Patriots Star Amy Melton, head of the Children’s Department at Saugus Public Library writes that a group of kids are gearing up for a visit with New England Patriots star Julian Edelman tomorrow (Saturday, Nov. 9) at 1:30 p.m. at the JE11 Pop Up shop on 350 Boylston St. “Last summer, the students in Saugus once more read about Massachusetts history, heroes, and authors. We reached out to JE11 to purchase copies of his books (Flying High 1 & Flying 2) to enhance their summer reading choices,” Amy writes. “They responded so generously – donating books to the library and all four elementary schools. They also donated t-shirts, some of which were raffled off at the end of summer. Kids read and drew pictures of his books to enter the raffle. “Now that he has written his third book, JE11 wanted to partner with us for the debut reading. Kids who participated in the drawing and read the books were chosen to attend. There will be about 30-40 people, and the event will be taped for promotional purposes.” Opportunities for the disappointed candidates We’ve gotten some reports of grown candidates and officeholders crying like children or playing the blame game on social media. And it sounds like it has gotten out of hand. Hey folks. Just because you lost an election or didn’t come in as well as you thought you would doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. If you are mixing it up on social media or letting the Election Day results ruin your week, perhaps you have too much time on your hands. You can still help the town out in a constructive fashion. You don’t have to get elected to perform some public service. Here’s a few opportunities you might want to check out. The Saugus Board of Selectmen is accepting applications for the following appointments: the Affordable Housing Trust Board of Trustees, the Cemetery Commission and the Cultural Council. These are volunteer / nonpaid positions for Saugus residents. Those interested in any of these may submit a letter of interest /resume no later than Nov. 27 to: Saugus Board of Selectmen Saugus Town Hall, Suite #4 298 Central Street.

Some Election Day “Shout Outs” Precinct 6 Town Meeting member Jean M. Bartolo emailed us a couple of “Shout Outs” to celebrate the conclusion of Election Day. “I think some After Election comic relief is needed. So I thought that a “Shout Out” should go out to all the Lawn Signs in town for the candidates who had one. These sturdy, trusty, hardworking Lawn Signs withstood sun, rain, wet leaves and hurricane winds for their owners and have earned a well-deserved rest and a Shout Out! “A thank you Shout Out to our new chairman of the Selectmen Anthony Cogliano, Officer Dominick Montano, new vicechairman of the School Committee Ryan Fisher and State Representative Donald Wong for dropping off Kane’s Donuts and coffee, muffins, water, and hot pizza to all of us holding signs at Precincts 2 and 6 on Election Day. It was such a kind thing to do Main attractions at the Saugus Public Library There’s always something interesting or entertaining going on at the Saugus Public Library – for people of all ages – from young children to senior citizens. Here are a few events to check out: Friendship Storytime on Fridays continues. This special program for children, which begins at 9:30 a.m., is sponsored by the Coordinated Family & Community Engagement Grant. It can help parents nurture their child’s social and early literacy skills with structured story time. Let’s Get Ready For Kindergarten Playgroup!

Residents should place leaves outside by 7 a.m. during their regularly scheduled collection day. Please ensure that leaf containers are physically separated from trash and recycling.

Stickers, which are free, may be obtained at Inspectional Services in the lower level of Town Hall at 298 Central St. in Saugus. Barrel covers must remain removed so that the leaves are visible. Plastic bags, cardboard boxes, branches and brush will not be accepted.

Too many books at library! “We’re sorry: we are unable to accept book donations at this town.” That was the flyer posted in the entranceway of the Saugus Public Library this week. While the flyer hailed the New Friends’ Annual Book Sale “a great success,” it also noted “a considerable excess of books at this time and no more space to store them.” “Therefore, we are no longer accepting book donations for the foreseeable future,” it continued. The flyer also suggested that folks who have excess books they would like to donate might consider making a donation of “clean and gentlyused books to these Saugus locations: “Council on Aging, 466 Central St., call 781-231-4178 “Salvation Army, 209 Broadway, call 781-231-0803 “Savers, 1160 Broadway, call 781-231-1232” CHaRM Recycling Drop-Off site open The Town of Saugus announces that the community’s Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM) is open to residents on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The site is located behind the Department of Public Works at 515 Main St. There is no preregSOUNDS | SEE PAGE 13

Page 14 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, November 8, 2019 Saugus girls lose to BF in double-overtime playoff By Greg Phipps T he Saugus girls’ soccer team entered this year’s Div. 3 North tournament on a roll, having won six games in a row. The Lady Sachems played well in their Div. 3 North first-round tilt on Tuesday night against Bishop Fenwick (BF). Unfortunately, they couldn’t produce a goal in over 90 minutes of play and that ended up being their undoing. BF’s Isabella DelVecchio scored in the second overtime of a scoreless game to lift the Lady Crusaders to a 1-0 win. The loss left Saugus with a 12-7 overall record for the season – a campaign that proved to be a rollercoaster of sorts for the Lady Sachems. Saugus started off strong this fall before hitting a rough patch and dropping five of seven games to fall to 6-6. That got turned around in earnest; however, as the Lady Sachems regrouped to go 6-0 the rest of the way. The final stretch included outscoring the opposition by a combined 20-1 margin. DefenSaugus’s Jeimmy Monroy Rodrigues charges for a loose ball as teammate Kiley Ronan trails the play in Tuesday’s playoff at Bishop Fenwick. sively, Saugus had allowed just one goal over its last 14-plus periods of play before Tuesday’s overtime tally. Offense was hard to come by on Tuesday in the foggy conditions at Fenwick’s Steven E. Donaldson Stadium. The Lady Sachems did penetrate the BF zone on a number of occasions but struggled to get off real quality shots on goal. It was much the same for BF, at least through the first half, as Saugus’s defense stood firm and made it difficult for the hosts to muster good chances. As the game wore on, the Lady Crusaders slowly took control of the territorial play and had Saugus playing in its defensive zone for much of the time. Still, the game remained scoreless through regulation and one OT period before DelVecchio’s goal ended it. Saugus forward Shaylin Groark pursues the ball in Tuesday’s double-overtime playoff loss at Bishop Fenwick. (Advocate Photos by Greg Phipps) Saugus had perhaps its best chance to score late in the second half when forward Shaylin Groark tracked down a loose ball in front of the BF net but was robbed from point-blank range by the Fenwick goalie. Saugus head coach Chris Coviello acknowledged that having to spend so much energy defending may have impacted his team as the contest progressed. “We got a little tired toward the end,” he told the press afterward. “When you’re defending a lot of the game you get tired.” Coviello cited the effort all season from his senior players, calling them “a great group of kids.” The team’s six graduating seniors are Vanessa Andujar, Sarah McGonigle and Jill Ricupero and co-captains Groark, Jessica Nazzaro and Kiley Ronan.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, November 8, 2019 Page 15 Saugus boys fall to Northeast in tourney opener By Greg Phipps T hough their final season record may not have indicated it, the Saugus boys’ soccer team proved to be a worthy postseason opponent, losing a close, hard-fought 2-1 battle against second-seeded Northeast Metro Tech in their Div. 3 North first-round clash on Monday afternoon in Wakefield. Northeast entered the game sporting 12 wins while 15th-seeded Saugus had just five to its credit. The Sachems were a surprise entry in this year’s tournament but showed they belonged by giving the host Knights all they could handle. “It was a very good and close game. I thought both teams were evenly matched,” said Saugus head coach Josh Hickey. “Time of possession seemed similar; both teams had scoring chances and it could have gone either way. Unfortunately for us, we came out with the loss.” Saugus finished its season 5-14 overall after Monday’s loss. But having to play a formidable schedule against tough Northeastern Conference (NEC) opposition seemed to have prepared the Sachems for Division 3 postseason play. “It’s a tough conference, and it’s a battle for us every night,” Hickey told the press after Monday’s contest. “Going up against those teams, most of which are Division 1 or Division 2, gave us confidence going up against another Division 3 team.” After falling behind 1-0 early in the game, Saugus produced some quality scoring chances and eventually hit pay dirt when James Rodrigues, the teams’ leading goal scorer, retrieved a deflected ball about 20 feet from the Northeast goal and unleashed a rocket just unI Sachems lose tight one at Wilmington By Greg Phipps t seems the Saugus Sachems have been living on the road as of late. Coming off an away loss at Wilmington last Friday night, the Sachems travel once again to face off against Triton this Friday. Though its lone victory came on the road (a 36-18 win at Salem), Saugus hasn’t particularly enjoyed its recent away visits. A shutout loss at Lynn Classical two weeks ago was followed by a close 14-8 setback to Wilmington last week. That defeat dropped the Sachems to 1-7 on the season. Losing starting quarterback Mason Nickolas to injury in the second week has definitely impacted the Sachems’ season. The team put up 30 points in the season opener at Bedford but has since struggled to muster much offense, the one exception being the 36 points in the win at Salem several weeks ago. Saugus has scored just 15 points in its last three games. Against Wilmington, quarterback Christian Correia, who took over for the injured Nickolas, produced Saugus’s lone touchdown in the second half when he snuck one in from a yard out and then ran for the two-point conversion. To their credit, the Sachems hung tough but couldn’t come out on top in the end. The host Wildcats led 7-0 at halftime and added another seven points in the second half to emerge victorious and notch their third win of the season. Saugus head coach Steve Cummings praised the effort of his team, citing the performances of running backs Marvens Jean and Sal Franco and linebacker Kyle Surette. “We had a lot of guys step up,” he told the press. “It was a tough battle. Wilmington’s a tough football team. It was a good, hard-fought high school football game.” Saugus will look to earn its second win against Triton on Friday night. The host Vikings have lost five straight and, like the Sachems, have tasted victory just once so far. Saugus forward James Rodrigues tallied the team’s lone goal in Monday’s first-round playoff loss against Northeast Metro Tech.

Northeast ended up netting the game-winner midway through the period and was able to stave off the Sachems the rest of the way. This year marked the third consecutive season Saugus has made the postseason tournament. Before the season, Hickey talked about notching a playoff win, but that will have to wait. The coach is excited about the team’s prospects moving forward with a young corps of players consisting mostly of sophomores and juniors. “I’m proud of how the guys always fought in every game and steadily improved their play over the course of the season,” he said. “Despite our record, I thought it was a great season and I’m looking forward to next year.” Saugus QB Christian Correia scored the only touchdown and ran for a two-point conversion in last Friday’s loss at Wilmington.

Page 16 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, November 8, 2019 ASKS | FROM PAGE 1 ferent perspective now than back then. Q: Do you think that the big anti-incumbent feeling out there in town that we saw in this recent election, that it all boils down to what happened to the custodians? A: Yes. That’s a huge underlying factor. Q: How huge? A: It could easily have been a situation where everybody was gone; it was that close that everybody who was on the board could have disappeared. And I think that the people in town are smart enough to realize that did just not come from the school side of town government. If you look at past statements from the town manager – he’s questioned the “paras,” the custodians, the cafeteria workers. It’s all been something that’s been said before. So, I think that was something that was discussed between the two sides of government. Q: If you were on the Board [of Selectmen] at the time, would you have done something to head that off [replacement of the custodians]? And what would it have been? A: Absolutely. I certainly would have stood up and said, “You’ve got to take care of Saugus people first.” You know, there are other ways they could have done things: They could have gotten creative and taken some money instead of going about it that way; and there are other ways they could have handled that. In my opinion, they were treated so disrespectful, and it showed. I think everyone came out and spoke loud and clear that they weren’t going to stand for it again. And I will make sure that – like I had said during a debate, had I been on the board at the time, I still would have gotten up and spoken for them because you don’t lose your rights as a citizen even if you are not speaking as a member of the Board of Selectmen. I just think it was wrong. I think they [custodians] were handled terrible, and, hopefully, that’s the last of it. Q: You feel it was a major mistake to get rid of the custodians and something that cost the School Committee members the election? A: Yes, that was huge. You got to protect Saugus people. It looks like the paraprofessionals are the next people on the list to eliminate, but that’s not going to happen Q: So, what if the state Attorney General’s Division of Open Government determines there were Open Meeting Law violations during the privatization of custodial services? Would you support bringing back school custodians? A: If there is any way for them to come back, it would be 100 percent focus for me. Saugus workers are important to me. I can see the DPW numbers dwindling. I really want to sit down with the manager and the board and get an understanding of where we are going with everything. We have the police chief that’s been acting for over a year. Q: Over a year? A: Yes, and I want to know what’s going on with that. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered. Q: You mention the interim police chief, but there are several key department heads and positions that have not been filled… like the planning director and the town planner … A: And it shows – and with the issues on Route 1 with the building moratorium – that’s a critical issue: not to have a planner in place … and putting forth a plan that’s going to work. Q: I believe there are a half dozen key positions that haven’t been filled… A: And need to be filled. Q: Is that something because of the low-wage scale in Saugus? A: I’m not sure what to make of it, but I think there are a lot of factors. Q: Then why hasn’t the Board of Selectmen addressed this issue over the last couple of years? A: Well, I think there were a lot of things that weren’t addressed over the last couple of years. Q: Well, what’s the major thing? A: It just seems as though everything was just one big “rubber stamp” on everything. I don’t think there was much oversight on things that were going on. Q: What do you mean “rubber stamp”? You mean approving whatever the town manager requested? A: Yeah. Absolutely. As for myself, I will question everything that’s going on. If I have questions, I am certainly going to ask them, and I am going to demand that I get answers. I think the fact that there are so many department head positions that are open – it is not a comfortable environment to work in. The pay scale is not right. Something is not right for this to be going on. Q: How is the morale among Town employees? A: You know, I don’t know. I have been away from town government so long; I kept my distance from the Town. I did my thing with town sports and everything else and stayed very active with the high school, but now that I’m back in [on Board of Selectmen], I have walked around and introduced myself to some people I didn’t know, and I intend on doing that quite a bit. I want to talk to everybody and get an understanding of what’s going on, and talk to the department heads myself, but I’m not trying to micromanage the manager. That’s his job, but I want to get a feeling for what it is. And if I can help correct it, I will. Q: Now, do you want to see a public evaluation for the town manager, something similar to the school superintendent? A: Yes. That is 100 percent correct. Q: Has that been something you will be talking about with other members of the board? A: I will speak to other members of the board. I want to get a meeting with Scott [Town Manager Crabtree) as soon as possible. If he can bring us up to speed on a lot of things and a lot of questions that we discussed tonight… and I want to hear from him: his take on it, why these positions are still available, and also to bring up the fact that everybody needs to be evaluated. You know, there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s how you judge someone’s highs and lows, and I think it’s a good thing. Q: Now, have you been in a position to give your own evaluation of him? A: Well, I have some opinions on what he’s doing great. I have my opinion on things I don’t think he does that well, but again, I want to get a chance to sit down with him and talk to him before I get into that. Everybody has strengths and weaknesses. And where I think I can help with some things, I will give my opinion on it. I’m looking forward to hearing from the other board members, too, because I’m sure there are some questions that they may have that maybe they didn’t feel comfortable with asking. It’s got to be a different situation. Q: Well, let me ask you this to follow-up on some of your earlier comments: Do you think the town manager was too involved with the custodian issue? A: I think he was quite heavily involved with that. Q: How so? A: He was part of the evalASKS | SEE PAGE 17 S by Jim Miller How to Create an Ethical Will Dear Savvy Senior, Can you write a column on ethical wills and how to make one? The attorney that made up my will recently suggested I write one as a tool to explain the intentions of my will, as well as express my thoughts and feelings, but I don’t know where to start. Interested Senior Dear Interested, An ethical will – also referred to as a legacy letter – can be a valuable complement to your legal will, as well as a wonderful gift to your family or other loved ones. Here’s what you should know along with some tips to help you make one. Ethical Wills Unlike a last will and testament, which tells your loved ones (and the legal world) what you want them to have, an ethical will (which is not a legal document) tells them what you want them to know. With an ethical will, you can share with your loved ones your feelings, wishes, regrets, gratitude and advice, as well as explain the elements in your legal will, give information about the money and possessions you’re passing on, and anything else you want to communicate. Usually no more than a few pages, the process of writing an ethical will can actually be quite satisfying. But be careful that you don’t contradict any aspects of your legal will or estate plan. If you’re having trouble with the writing, there are resources available to help you, or you can express yourself through an audio or video recording. Where to Start To craft an ethical will, start by jotting down some notes about what’s really important to you and what you want your loved ones to know. Take your time and remember that you’re not trying to write for the Pulitzer Prize. This letter is a gift of yourself written for those you love. After you’ve gathered your thoughts you can start drafting your letter. You can also revise or rewrite it anytime you want. And for safekeeping, keep your ethical will with your other legal documents in a secure location but be sure your executor has access to it. A safe-deposit box or fireproof filing cabinet or safe in your home is a good choice. Get Help If you need some help, there are numerous resources available like Celebrations of Life (CelebrationsofLife.net), which offers how-to information and examples of ethical wills, along with a “Ethical Wills: Putting Your Values on Paper” book, and the Ethical Wills/Legacy Letters workbook that you can purchase for $16 and $10 respectively. Another good resource is Personal Legacy Advisors (PersonalLegacyAdvisors.com), a company that offers ethical will writing classes and workshops, along with personalized services like coaching, editing, writing and/or audio or video recording your ethical will. Prices will vary depending on the services you choose. They also sell a doit-yourself guidebook “The Wealth of Your Life: A Step-byStep Guide for Creating Your Ethical Will,” by Susan Turnbull for $24. You also need to know that many people choose to share their ethical will with their family and friends while they’re still living so they can enjoy their reactions, while others think it should be read after their death. It’s up to you. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

I know he has a very good relationship with the former chairman of the School Committee [Jeannie Meredith]. I know they speak, because she works for the Town, so I know there was contact – to the extent, I can only speculate, but I would speculate that he had his hand in it [privatizing the custodians], and I want to discuss that with him, too. I just don’t want to see it continue. There is low morale when that happens. Q: Your sense is the previous board sort of gave him too much latitude in running the town the way he wanted? A: I think they did. I don’t want to call it inexperience on their part. They all came in. They were all new. None of them served on the board. Deb [Panetta] was here for a short period of time as a selectman, and she was on Mozart, Schubert begin 72nd the School Committee for several years, but I think they relied heavily on him to tell them what their job was and how they were supposed to do it, and I think that he pretty much ran the show. And I’ve been around here a long time – I don’t need anyone to show me how to do my job, and I expect the residents of Saugus voted for me for that one very reason. I know what I am talking about. Q: As you said tonight, this is the sixth time you have been elected to this board. A: Yeah, sixth time. I got to sit in every chair up there except the chair’s chair, but I am looking forward to it. And I hope that we have a good working relationship. I know that Scott and I have known each other for years. I graduated with his brother Alan.

The concert marks the start of Maestro Lehmann’s 22nd year as the Orchestra’s Music Director. Schubert’s Symphony No. 8 was begun six years before the composer’s death in 1828; however, it contains only two fully orchestrated movements, and musical scholars have debated whether the composer intended to write a traditional four-movement symphony. Mozart’s Mass in C minor was completed in 1783. The piece depicts the traditional outline of a Mass celebration in the order of liturgy and ritual. It is considered one of Mozart’s greatest works.

Aside from the capital improvement plan, that needs to be resolved. And I want to square away this issue with building on Route 1 – the moratorium [multifamily housing]. Before we address this, we need a planner in here, ASAP. And the other big-ticket item we need to figure out right away is why we have so many department head open positions. And my biggest issue running is to finally sit down and talk to Wheelabrator, as I think there is so much money out there on the table that we don’t get as a host community. And it’s tiring to just watch other communities benefit when we get nothing. And for people to just think we can snap our fingers and they are going to go away – it’s never going to happen. Q: Do you have any concerns about the closure of the ash landfill and setting a timetable? A: I have more concern about the NOX (nitrogen oxide) level than with the closure of the ash landfill, because if they are doing the right thing, I am not so concerned about the closure of the ash landfill. I want to make sure the residents of East Saugus, Revere and Lynn are safe. That’s Number One for me. And not so much the ash: If they’re not having a problem with the ash, I rather see it here than paying them to truck it away. So, those are issues that we have to sit down and discuss. I definitely want to make sure that, Number One, we’re safe, we’re breathing clean air and drinking clean water, and Number Two, I want to get that money for the town. I think that just finally having a discussion with them is going to go a long way, because we haven’t done it in years. We have always listened to certain members of the community that are loud about Resco and “We’re going to do this and we’re going to do that.” And we waste money hand over fist on legal fees.

It was like a revolution,” he said. “An anti-incumbent wave swept over the town. It’s very we are safe and do things the right way, because we haven’t been doing it. Q: So, how do you feel about the new board? A: I have some great people to work with. Deb Panetta is a valuable asset. She and Jeff Cicolini have done good work. I am looking forward to working with them and Mike Serino [former Selectman], who has a lot of past experiences on the board. It’s also great to have Corinne Riley. She is very deserving and will be a hard worker. She has been (state Rep.) Donald Wong’s campaign manager. I’m also happy that we’re going to have Donald Wong back in the fold, because without him we are lost. Donald has always been a friend and a tremendous person. Q: So, the board will be meeting at the beginning of each year with Representative Wong and see what issues he can assist the Board of Selectmen and the town on, and develop an ongoing relationship that hasn’t existed previously? From what I understand, the previous board didn’t accept his invitation for periodic meetings? A: Yes, and that shouldn’t be happening. The town needs to be working with Donald for the betterment of Saugus. That is something that should be happening. Q: Setting up legislative priorities for Saugus? A: Yes. Q: Anything else that you would like to share? A: Well, once again, I’m just happy that I have the opportunity to be here, and I plan on working well with everybody on the board and having a great open dialogue with everyone. And the other thing I’d like to see – the citizens’ forum brought back to the town. We haven’t had that in a while. I think if citizens have a complaint, they should be able to come in an address it, so I want to discuss that with the board members, too. And one last thing: If people call this Town Hall with a question, I want to make sure they get some answers. Q: Do you have any concerns about public access? People complaining about having to fill out public records requests for information that should be readily available. hard to knock out an incumbent Town Meeting member. But you had 10 in this case. The custodian thing really resonated with people,” he said. “It’s not so much that it was done, but how it was done.

Horlick, 1,358 *Denotes incumbent A: I think that’s crazy, to be honest with you. I’ve heard the complaints, especially with the complaints about the capital improvements plan that appeared. I’m glad that it’s finally here, but whether or not it was put together at the last minute, I don’t know, but I have seen requests from people in emails from two years ago and no response until the report finally appeared. I really want to have a chance to see what the report says and go through it. I want to see what that report is, and I want to take a look at the master plan. And people should be able to walk into this Town Hall at any time and get information that they can get. It shouldn’t have to be a freedom of information request and a delay and a delay. Q: When a document is submitted at a public meeting and discussed at that moment, there should be no reason why the information shouldn’t be made available when somebody asked for it. I don’t think it should take several days or weeks, like some people have complained. A: Absolutely. And they are not going to wait; if somebody brings a request to me and I can get an answer right away, they are going to get it. And I would expect that the other board members and the manager will agree with that. That’s good business. Q: And reporters won’t have to look in the trash can for stuff that is thrown out at the end of the meeting! A: Yeah. I hope that stuff is over and done with. I want to have a good, open relationship with everybody. gus have a fundamental fairness. You don’t treat people that way – the way they were treated at the June meeting. I just can’t recall a situation where an anti-incumbent wave swept three different elected bodies.”
