The Town voted to include WIN on this committee. WIN has been invited to each meeting, and to date, has refused to participate. It is fitting that on this day, one day before an election that has exhibited divisiveness throughout our country, that we have voted to reach out directly to you to bring about communication and collaboration to resolve this long-standing issue for WIN and the Town of Saugus. We are unsure if you have been appraised of our many efforts to engage WIN in discussion of the now imminent closure of the ash landfill. The State has made it clear that there is no pathway to vertical or horizontal expansion in the absence of precedent setting major policy changes or legislative action. Our hope is that we can come together to discuss a more sustainable and appropriate economic approach to these acres. WIN representatives have often spoken of the company’s environmental awareness, and wish to be a good neighbor. An opportunity presents itself; both Saugus and WIN would benefit from a collaborative approach to the closure of the ash landfill. Such an approach could possibly yield greater benefits to each party much further into the future than your company’s current proposal. In conclusion, we invite you personally to engage in a conversation with us. Such a conversation can take place either in Saugus or Portsmouth at a time convenient for you. We hope you believe this is as important as Saugus does and will ASH LANDFILL | SEE PAGE 6 the cooperative education program at Northeast Metro Tech because it enables students to receive academic training in the traditional classroom setting while also giving students practical work experiences related to their vocational area. He selected Northeastern University to steward the new scholarship because of Northeastern’s Cooperative Education Program, which provides students with alternating periods of academic study and full-time employment related to their academic major and interests. Nasella was a fixture in the Town of Wakefield, serving as a civilian parking clerk for over 20 years, and as a member of the Wakefield Auxiliary Police. Michael J. Nasella (Courtesy Northeast Metro Tech and Wakefield Public Schools) He was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force Reserves. “As a lifelong Wakefield resident, it is only fitting that his legacy be captured through the establishment of an endowed scholarship to support graduates from the two most important schools in his life,”said Superintendent DiBarri. “All of us at Northeast Metro Tech are honored and touched by Mr. Nasella’s generosity and care.” “Michael Nasella spent much of his life dedicated to seeing that our youth got an excellent education, in particular via cooperative education,”said Superintendent Lyons. “It is fitting, and perhaps not surprising, that he has left a legacy that will continue to help young people find their educational paths via cooperative education.” To read the obituary for Michael J.
