Ever since her father Ed Cheryl Walton Doucette (Courtesy of “The Sketch Artist”) “Not all of us can do great things but we can do small things with great love.”—Mother Teresa By Joanie Allbee C heryl Walton Doucette, who’s part of four generations of Saugonians, captured the Northern Lights at the Saugus Fox Hill Yacht Club at 114 Ballard St. last week (Tuesday night, Nov. 11) at around 9:30 pm. The Doucettes were on a date night and Cheryl noticed the aurora borealis from the back deck at the club. The sky was overtaken with red and green illuminations as Cheryl clicked away. Being a bright light herself, she glows from within as she extends open arms, a warm smile and a tender heart to all she meets. At the Yacht Club, she is often the greeter to new taught her to play pool, she has entered competitions; and as a winner, she has a few trophies to dust. Cheryl’s light burns brightly like a front door light that beckons forth a welcome in the darkness. “I am inspired by my friends and family,” said Grandma Cheryl, who loves to cook. “I live with the memories of loved ones and keeping traditions alive,” she said. As a green thumb gardener, she loves gardening and being surrounded by plants she’s revived.

The Doucettes have been married for over 38 years. They enjoy their love and friendship. Cheryl recently added a new addition to her family — an affectionate orange cat named Garfi eld. Life goes on,” he said. From his perspective as a longtime participant in Saugus local government, Long said he doesn’t believe recounts overturn many elections. “I’m sure in a couple of instances, a recount has changed the results,” Long said. “In most cases, it doesn’t – because of a low voter turnout,” he said. Long recalled a recount that he and his wife Carol assisted with back in 1981. “Jean Banks finished eight votes behind Janette Fasano in the Board of Selectmen’s race and requested a recount.
