This week’s “SHOUT OUTs” We received a few nominations for a “Shout Out” this week: DAR Member Joanie Allbee offered this one: “with a megaphone roaring out a BIG SHOUT OUT to DAR Parson Roby Chapter Regent Gail Cassarino and Vice Regent Wendy Renda! “Our two Officers put in countless hours behind the scenes so the Town Hall lawn is sprawled with flying flags. Each sponsored flag carries a Veteran’s name and service.” Janice Jarosz wanted to send some praise to “our local trash men.” “They’ve been unbelievable lately.” A special Editor’s “Shout Out” to all of the town’s living and departed veterans for their dedicated service to the nation. You deserve the appreciation and respect from every proud American for the sacrifices you have made for us all. If you happen to see a veteran you know or one you don’t know (easily identified by a military-style baseball cap or jacket with patches and the branch of the service identified), take the time to thank him or her for their service to the country.

A free program about trains on Nov. 13 The Saugus Historical Society meeting on November 13 will feature a mini-symposium about trains. Todd Geig will be presenting to the Saugus Historical Society an overview of how he came to model railroading through a fascination with the legendary Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn railroad (aka The Narrow Gauge), which ran from 1875 to 1940 and was instrumental in the development of the North Shore. His model layout of this historical local line was on view in the Lynn Museum last winter. Also, Bill Stewart, the “Old Sachem,” will talk about a train wreck on the Saugus Branch in 1871. Laura Eisener will speak about the present developments on the rail trail of the former Saugus Branch line, which will eventually connect this popular bicycle and walking trail to the sea. The program will begin at 7 p.m. at 30 Main St. in Saugus. It is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. THE SOUNDS | SEE PAGE 18
