This is a rivalry with a rich history. Not a lot of [Thanksgiving rivals] do this type of event, so this is special,” said Saugus first-year head coach Steve Cummings, who said he remembered his last high school Thanksgiving game playing for Marshfield back in 1995. “We won at Duxbury 4020. The Thanksgiving game is more than just a football game. It matters to people because the teams are representing their communities and families.

The School Committee was often preoccupied by conflict among members while focusing on matters that weren’t the committee’s responsibility. Meanwhile, there were shortcomings in district and school improvement plans. “A district is unlikely to achieve and sustain meaningful improvement without developing priorities, routines, and practices to ensure the stewardship of improvement work,” concludes a report released recently by the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. “Progress is impeded when leaders are not regularly and publicly focused on improvement goals, the school committee does not review student performance data regularly, and the leadership team’s collaborative time focuses only intermittently on solving the learning and teaching challenges that confront staff and students, the report continues. Those are the observations of a team of consultants that visited the school district for a four-day period back in March as part of its research for the “District Review Report of Saugus Public Schools.” Saugus Public Schools Superintendent Dr. David DeRuosi, Jr. presented copies of the lengthy report to members of the School Committee at Wednesday night’s meeting. The superintendent plans for a discussion of the report at a future meeting. The District Review – a process that every school district undergoes periodically (Saugus Public Schools had its last one in 2010) – is used to assess a school district’s strengths and weaknesses and offer recommendations that can be used to make significant improvements in a school system.

Saugus was riding the crest of a two-game winning streak heading into Thursday’s clash. Peabody had gone 1-6 in its previous seven contests. Cummings praised the effort of his senior players and reemphasized the meaning of their final appearance in a Sachems uniform. “Over the years you’ve developed a bond with your teammates, and next Thursday morning is going to come really fast. We have six practices left, so enjoy them and take in the experience.” Christian Correia was awarded this year’s Saugus Heisman Trophy due to his fortitude and leadership in taking over the role of quarterback after starter Mason Nickolas went down with an injury in the second week. Other seniors recognized for the Sachems were Brendan McCabe, Zack Kesbia, Marvens Jean, Bruno Auzec, Justin Fajardo and Jaryd Coffill. On the Peabody side, seventh-year head coach Mark Bettencourt cited the efforts of his 15 senior players, including award winner Krisli Miraka. The coach said he treats the annual Heisman honor more as a “dedicated player” award than an MVP recognition. “There are kids that don’t PLANNING FOR THE BIG GAME: Saugus coaches Doug Gallant, head coach Steve Cummings and Ruben Reinoso. have natural athletic gifts and skills but show up to practice every day and give 100 percent, even though they don’t get much playing time in the games.

School player himself, Bettencourt said he was attending his eighth Lions Club banquet – one as a player and seven as coach. “Not every Thanksgiving game has a banquet like this, and I think this gives better meaning to what high school football’s all about – hard work, dedication to the team, your friends and your family, and it brings people together,” he said. “Yes, you want to compete and win the game, but I’m still friendly with [several] Saugus players from the games I played in. This is a positive rivalry with tons of tradition. It’s possibly the last football you’re going to play that means something.” Boston-area TV sportscaster Chris Collins, who grew up in Peabody, was the keynote speaker, and he echoed the importance of the annual game. “Trust me, I grew up on this rivalry, on this game, so when I was asked to speak here, it made a whole lot of sense to me,” he said. “I’ve covered a dozen Super Bowls and the World Series, but the high school football experience is undeniably strong.” Collins said he sees friends from his youth football days, and they still reminisce about their experiences playing in those games. “I never subscribed to the idea that it’s just a game. If it’s important to you then it matters,” he said. “The Thanksgiving game will be in your memory bank forever, so don’t cheat yourself or your teammates. Give it all you have. You’ve been through too much together.” Citing what he called the “three Cs: confidence, courage and compassion,” Collins added that it takes these traits to go out and compete, even during three-win seasons. He specifically referenced the Sachems for their resiliency in recent years. “I know Saugus has gone through four head coaches in four years, and that’s a lot to go through,” he said. “But that’s life and you find a way to make it work and you become stronger from it.” Peabody holds a 44-29 advantage in the Thanksgiving Day series and has won the last five games.

Saugus Firefighter Anthony Roger Arone won one of the five seats in Precinct 1. Yesterday, Cross and Arone were among a group of firefighters from 14 fire departments across the state who were honored as 2019 “Firefighter of the Year Award” recipients. Their rescue of a man from a July 25, 2018, apartment fire at 7 Falmouth St. in Saugus was one of the acts of valor cited during the 30th presentation of the awards. “Firefighter Anthony Arone used an axe to forcibly open the door to the apartment that was on fire. He and Lieutenant William Cross encountered heavy smoke and searched for victims without benefit of a hose line,” according to a statement from the state Department of Fire Services. “When the thermal imaging camera didn’t identify the location of the occupant, LieutenEastern bank Bldg.

They dragged him down the hallway and outside, where he was transported to the hospital, where he remained for a month.” Cross and Arone each received a citation from the Board of Selectmen last year for “Heroic actions that saved a life of a Saugus Resident.” Dr. Priti Amlani Dr. Bruce Goldman Dr. Bhavisha Patel Full mouth Rehabilitation Before After Wishing you the best for a THANKSGIVING energized by family, food, and fulfillment.

Tickets for class HEROIC AWARDS | from page 3 The smoke was so thick – from the floor to the ceiling – that Cross and Arone had to crawl into the apartment. Their thermal imaging device failed to determine whether anyone was inside. But when the firefighters heard somebody coughing on the kitchen floor, they acted quickly to drag the semiconscious victim to safety and were later credited with saving the man’s life. Saugus Fire Department Capt. Christopher Rizza said there was no question that Cross and Arone saved the life of the man who suffered burns in the Falmouth Street fire. “He was barely breathing on his own when they found him, and I don’t think they had too many seconds left to save him,” Rizza told The Saugus Advocate in an interview last year. “If they had hesitated, they probably would have gotten him out, but I doubt he would be alive. Even the thermal imaging device wasn’t working properly, so they did a great job in finding him and getting him out of the building as quickly as they could,” he said. Arone, a 2004 Saugus High School graduate who has been on the Fire Department for four and a half years, recalled the members are $25 prior to the event or $40 at the door, which includes a catered dinner and raffle ticket.

And with Billy [Cross] having 20-plus years on the job, I couldn’t be working with anybody better. And once we heard that gentleman cough on the floor, everything turned to rescue mode. Bill and I dragged that gentleman out to safety,” he said. Cross, a 1985 Saugus High School graduate, has spent more than two decades on the town’s Fire Department.

From now until Dec. 31, Armstrong will be collecting new and gently used clothing items to help the homeless stay warm this winter. The items that are needed most include coats and jackets, boots, gloves, hats, scarves, socks, sweatpants and jeans. In addition, Armstrong invites members of the communities it serves – plus anyone from surrounding communities – to contribute nonperishable food items. Ideal items for donation include canned protein like tuna, chicken, salmon and beans, low-sodium soups; canned vegetables, pasta sauce, fruit and applesauce; whole grains like crackers, oatmeal, high fiber cereal and rice; and dairy items like evaporated milk.

Collection bins are located inside each of Armstrong’s locations, and residents interested in donating items may leave them at the facility, where they will be collected by an Armstrong employee. Donations can be delivered locally to 16 REVIEW REPORT | from page 1 of several major components to an effective school system – the report identified these major “challenges and areas for growth”: • The School Committee, central office, and school leaders have not established a culture of collaboration that focuses on improving teaching and learning and is infused with a sense of urgency. • District and school improvement plans are incomplete, uneven in quality, and in some cases, nonexistent. There is limited evidence of strategic planning to drive improvement and assessment of progress toward the realization of outcomes. Issues related to the School Committee The release of the report comes in the wake of town voters electing a new five-member School Committee. Two of the members decided not to run for reelection. The three incumbents who ran were defeated. Former School Committee members could have contributed more toward the betterment of Saugus Public Schools, the report notes. Here are some excerpts from the report: “Interviews with school committee members and staff and a review of school committee meeting minutes indicated that the school committee infrequently planned for, critically considered, and assessed progress toward the realization of student learning goals. Although the school committee reviews MCAS tests results annually, it rarely reviews any other student outcome data or monitors the impact of key improvement strategies on student performance. “Interviews with school committee members and other Hamilton St. in Saugus. “Armstrong is dedicated to providing a higher standard of care for our patients and communities every day, and we want to heighten that care by giving back,” Armstrong CEO Rich Raymond said. “Our care providers regularly interact with vulnerable populations and understand there is a significant need for support that we, along with our partner communities, can help meet. We encourage everyone to join us and help collect warm clothing and nutritious food items for families who need it the most this holiday season.” Any questions may be directed to Meredith Lambroff at 781-859-1306. stakeholders and a review of school committee minutes indicated that the school committee was often preoccupied by conflict among members, communication issues between individual school committee members and the superintendent, and matters that were not the responsibility of the school committee, such as personnel.” The reported notes that the School Committee had recently instituted a policy prohibiting the participation of three or more members of the School Committee in a social media interaction in compliance with the Open Meeting Law. “This policy was in response to members’ frequent use of social media to communicate with each other about district-related matters,” the report states. “School committee members have not recently engaged in a common set of formal learning, planning, or professional REVIEW REPORT | SEE PAGE 8 AMPLE FREE www.marinaatthewharf.com 543 North Shore Rd.

It can be traditional or contemporary with roots in bluegrass, country, jazz, gospel and blues. Our contestants will provide a range of music in the genre we call folk. Performing in this year’s potpourri are Bill Anderson, Mark Bishop Evans, John Ferullo, Kathleen Healy, Roberta Lamb, Rick Drost, Toast & Jam, and Wild Maple. Samples of their music can be found on their web and facebook pages. The evening will again be hosted by Wakefield singer/ songwriter Kirsten Manville, who will perform a few favorite songs from her album, Some People Sing, and introduce a few new ones. Manville creates songs that feel like they might have come straight from journal entries: deceptively simple lyrics that paint pictures, tell stories, and evoke a range of emotions. Manville is a refreshing, straightforward folk-rockcountry-singer-songwriter with stage presence audiences love. Entertainment will include a 25-minute set by one of last year’s winners, Peter Lehndorff. He writes folk and jazz songs about everyday life. Lehndorff is now mixing his humorous observations with the serious; the romantic with the eccentric. There are stories about cars, what he eats, and the places he has lived. His car-related songs have been on NPR’s Car Talk radio show. Besides winning last year’s Linden Tree Coffeehouse’s Winter Potpourri, Lehndorff has been a finalist in the Boston Acoustic Underground competition. The Springfield Union wrote about his performance, “intelligent lyrical vignettes of everyday life and the comical trappings of suburbia, delivered with an acute sense of comedic timing.” Bill Anderson is a former resident of Wakefield. Anderson has been playing music all his life, in bands and orchestras around the world. Trained as a classical oboist at the New England Conservatory as well as Boston University, 10 years ago, to achieve his ambition of performing the songs he’d always written, as a singer/songwriter, he attended song-writing conferences around the United States and workshopped with artists from John Gorka to Livingston Taylor to Kathy Mattea, constantly striving to put the truth and heart of the subject in his lyrics. His style is often described as telling a story, giving the listener a clear, mental picture of events and emotions common to us all. Julie Charland is one-half of the duo Toast and Jam.

Look for other cars or people when backing out of a parking space, and back out slowly. • Keep shopping bags out of plain sight in your vehicle, preferably in your trunk. • Keep your purse close to your body or your wallet in an inside coat pocket or front pants pocket. • Save your receipts and monitor your credit card activity. • When shopping online, stick to retailers you know or have shopped with before. • Don’t use public Wi-Fi to make purchases so you can prevent hackers from intercepting your information.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Wednesday, November 27, 2019 Page 7 CONCERT | from page 6 nal bluegrass, modern folk, Americana, swing and more. Toast and Jam’s first CD (all original), “Ten Slices,” was released in 2009. Their second full-length CD, “Heaven Knows,” was released in 2015, and now a third album is in the works. Rick Drost writes and sings songs with depth and heart, songs that repay repeated listening and convey a long love of classical music, natural wonders and poetry. His songs treat life from varied angles: jilted lovers, swans in the Public Garden, leftover lobsters and meditations on meditation. Longtime inspiration came from Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen; recent influences include Vance Gilbert and David Wilcox, who covers Drost’s song “Turning the World” in live performances. Drost’s latest CD, “Turning the World,” continues to get airplay from Europe across America to New Zealand. Originally from Western New York, Drost travels from Cambridge to sing at coffeehouses, house concerts, small festivals and Folk Alliance Events around the country. Mark Bishop Evans grew up in southern California, where his major musical influences outside of church were Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul and Mary, Paul Simon, the Beach Boys and pretty much any folk, folk rock or beach music. Listening and playing the folk and protest music of the 60s inspired him to begin writing his own songs. Evans has a way with words and melodies, bringing them together in pleasant and poignant combinations that make you want to tap your feet and sing along. His music is an intriguing blend of folk, folk rock and ballads, lyrically rich in emotional content and melodically comfortable like a favorite jacket, like a close friend you want to sing along with. Mark relocated north of Boston, Mass., in the early 90s and today considers himself a “Noreasta.” John Ferullo is a songwriter and open mike host from Massachusetts with stories about regular people. He performs his own songs and other folk songs all around New England. His music has been described as “about important things with his stories about seemingly small things.” Kathleen Healy is a hardworking musician and songwriter living on Cape Cod. She draws from her experience of living and raising a family near the beach for many of her songs. Some say saltwater runs through her veins. Healy writes from the heart, and her honest lyrics and often poignant subject matter lend themselves to the unique quality of her voice. She admits to being a live music junkie but is currently not seeking treatment for her addiction. Equally at home singing and playing in a quiet cafe or in front of a crowd, Roberta Lamb rocks to the beat of a variety of musical styles, from blues to rock and Americana. She picked her first guitar as a child in Texas and took to singing folk songs, Spanish traditional tunes, and ballads. Lamb honed her vocal craft as a classical musician, exploring concert singing and opera in college and later in Vienna, Austria. Back home in the United States, she took time to raise a family in Massachusetts, and she eventually found her way back to her first love: American music. Once her children were launched, she picked up the guitar and started playing and singing covers while practicing and listening to whatever music came her way.

Music critics have praised Wild Maple’s “appealing and polished sound” with both male and female lead vocals and “sensational vocal harmonies.” Recent performances include Club Passim in Cambridge, the Guilford Performing Arts Festival in Guilford, Conn., and the Crane Estate in Ipswich, Mass. Wild Maple’s lively shows include a healthy dose of relaxed fun, humor and audience engagement. The show begins early at 7:30 p.m.; doors open at 7:00.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Wednesday, November 27, 2019 Page 9 MBTA ready for winter T he MBTA recently announced infrastructure, vehicle and management initiatives embarked on this year that continue the MBTA’s continually improving preparations in advance of the winter season. In preparation for winter, many actions related to infrastructure have been taken to best prepare the MBTA for extreme cold and snow/ice conditions. System-wide tree trimming took place along Commuter Rail and subway rightof-way areas with the continued real-time monitoring at critical Commuter Rail interlockings, including switch heaters, third rail heaters and trip heaters. This year the Railroad Operations Emergency Operations Center will again be operational with the ability to address potential impacts quickly and efficiently. With specifAuthority (MSBA) approval of the middle-high school building project. “This document includes a detailed description of the limitations of each school’s ic locations noted to be prone to commercial power outages, mobile generators will continue to be pre-deployed during instances of extreme weather conditions. Investments in the MBTA’s fleet of snow-fighting vehicles continue this year with the replacement of two snow fighters and the addition of two multipurpose Unimog vehicles outfitted with snow-fighting attachments. MPI locomotive fleets also continue to undergo field modifications to resolve moisture intrusion. Last winter season, a few lessons learned were noted, with management areas of improvement including a focus on improving the response to Level 1 and Level 2 storm events. The MBTA’s Maintenance Control Center will have an increased role in storm manageREVIEW REPORT | from page 8 facilities, necessary improvements, and planned programmatic and curricular upgrades,” the state report notes. “The Saugus Educational Plan does not contain essential ment with leadership from the T’s Engineering and Maintenance Team specifically assigned to storm-related activities; the Team also conducted their first-ever dry run exercise in preparation for this winter season. A more robust digital reporting process has also been deployed this year with the MBTA piloting a collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Drone Team on post-storm flights, assessing specific MBTA facility locations for snow removal. Also new this year are reduced winter storm schedules for the Green Line, a new internal communication plan for operators during reduced schedules, a revised 2019/2020 Snow and Ice Plan, and a system-wide Table Top winter drill exercise planned for December 6. components of a DIP, including goals for improved student outcomes, specific improvements in academic performance, and a clear and explicit framework for improvement. “Some current SIPs detail Customers continue to be encouraged to use mbta.com/ winter for full MBTA Winter Weather Service Information. During non-storm days, mbta. com/winter features information on what customers can expect during the winter months. If severe weather is in the forecast, mbta.com/winter becomes a one-stop information page featuring an overview of the MBTA’s service plan and anticipated impacts. In the event of a severe emergency, the T will also provide up-to-date service information on in-station digital screens. The T also encourages customers to prepare for their winter commutes by staying connected: sign up for T-Alerts, follow @MBTA and @MBTA_CR on Twitter, use the Transit app or the MBTA commuter rail app and visit mbta.com/winter to specific goals for student outcomes and offer leaders a means for assessing progress toward these goals; however, most do not include essential components of effective SIPs.” The report cites The 2018– 2019 Lynnhurst Elementary learn about service information. Since the winter of 2015, the MBTA has upgraded track and signal infrastructure, invested in snow-fighting equipment, and stocked up on replacement parts for vehicles, making more than $101 million in investments in winter resiliency. Last winter 23.4 total inches of snow fell in the MBTA service area, with about 43 percent of that total during the month of March and challenging poststorm freezing conditions during the months of January and February. Last year was the first year of global snow contracting with 14 treatment occurrences. Snow-fighting equipment was pre-deployed in key areas (Braintree, Ashmont, Forest Hills and Mattapan) – with no full system shutdowns or closures in MBTA service.

Page 10 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Wednesday, November 27, 2019 ~ Guest Commentary ~ It is for Professors to Teach and Students to Learn By Dr. Earl H. Tilford W hile all the rage in education, my hackles rise when an educator declares, “We learn from our students” or “Students should construct their own knowledge.” Granted, the 55 years since I was a freshman may explain my antediluvian notion that professors should teach because students need to learn. At 8:00 AM on a Monday morning in 1964, I was in a large auditorium at the University of Alabama filled with other freshmen when a young professor strode in with his graduate student assistant in tow. At the podium, wearing a threepiece suit, the professor introduced himself: “Welcome to History 101, Western Civilization. This is not high school. You will be here on time and in your seats before I begin lecturing which will be promptly at eight o’clock. Unendurable pain and distress are the only acceptable reasons for leaving class during my lectures. My hours are on my office door located on the second floor. If you have any problems, see my graduate assistant first. If phoning me at home will save your physical life, then, please call. Otherwise don’t.” After a pause he turned to his notes. “We begin our discussion with the fall of the Roman Empire.” There was no discussion. We took notes, by hand, lots of notes. It was the same in other classes where I learned from knowledgeable and demanding professors. I absorbed tales of Russian czars and Bolshevik commissars. Southern history took me from Jamestown to the civil rights movement. My basic American history course went from Colonial America to the Civil War. Dr. F. David Mathews, a future Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under President Gerald Ford, required us to read Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America, Samuel Eliot Morrison’s The Intellectual Life of Colonial New England, along with The Federalist Papers. My professors offered up lives of kings and queens, rise and fall of empires, innumerable wars, dictators and patriots, along with sinners and saints who emerged to explain the present in light of the past and hopefully inform our progress into the future. The following semester I found Botany 101 boring. The lives of moss and corn did not REVIEW REPORT | from page 9 tracks school progress against clearly established benchmarks of progress; describes the school’s analysis of why goals were not met, met, or exceeded; and lays out a detailed set of sequenced goals and objectives for the current school year, including timelines, clearly defined activities, persons responsible, and measurable outcomes. “Most significantly, each of the four SMART goals of the Lynnhurst SIP consists of identified target groups of students, concrete student outcomes, timelines, ties to specific measurements, and benchmarks. No written goals, in any of the other SIPS or districtwide planning documents reviewed by the team were this complete.” match the drama of Henry VIII and Peter the Great. So, I constructed my own knowledge only to discover that sleeping with the textbook over my face did not foster learning by osmosis. It did, however, render a solid “F.” Faced with repeating botany, I hired a tutor who asked why I failed. I answered, “Botany bores me.” She replied that the core curriculum was devised for my edification and not my entertainment. She then asked if I had ever driven to a new city. I replied that I drove from my hometown to Tuscaloosa when I first came to campus. “Did you use a map?” I did. She stated textbooks are maps to their courses so read the appropriate assignments before each class. I also should take copious notes and then rewrite them after re-reading the assigned texts. On my second try I passed Botany with a hard-earned “B.” It helped that Dr. Joab Thomas, a future president at Alabama and at Penn State, made the lives of moss and corn as fascinating as those of royalty and dictators. While my professors were the architects of the construction of my knowledge, my role was to labor diligently. The report recommends that, under the leadership of the superintendent, the district should convene a representative group of stakeholders to develop a DIP. The DIP should include measurable goals (including progress benchmarks and final outcomes), the report says. “It is hard for a district or a school to make sustained and meaningful progress without clear and focused plans, measurable goals linked to timeIn September 2001, after a career spent in military service, I returned to higher education to teach history at Grove City College. At 8:00 AM on Tuesday morning, September 11, I gave my first quiz in Humanities 101. I had quizzes scheduled for two afternoon classes as well. Shortly after 10:00 AM, President John Moore informed the faculty that given the horrific events of the day we had the option of canceling afternoon classes. This made sense because many of our students came from New York and the Washington, D.C. area. Before class met, another hijacked plane crashed in southern Pennsylvania. I opted to press on. As students entered, they saw words from the hymn “Be Not Afraid” projected onto a screen. To start class I said softly, “Let us pray.” I prayed for victims and for God’s guidance in the struggle ahead. With the “amen” students began gathering backpacks to leave. “Hold on!” I declared, “You have a quiz and then I have a lecture.” Students sullenly settled back into their seats. As I passed out quizzes I explained, “The terrorist did this to make us change how we live. If we lines, benchmarks, and persons and teams responsible and accountable for achieving outcomes,” the report concludes. “In such circumstances, leaders have great difficulty focusing and prioritizing their work, accurately assessing progress, and planning intelligently for next stages. Educators, families, students, and other stakeholders who do not have access to planning processes cannot meando that, they win.” Then, with a rage barely sufficient to stifle overwhelming emotions, I loudly declared, “They are not going to win!” Five years later, a former student from that class invited me to speak to her civic club in a nearby town. At the end of her introduction, she related the events of that day and ended with, “When Dr. Tilford returned my quiz on Thursday, it was the first ‘B’ I had ever received.” The young lady then thanked me. It is for professors to teach and for students to learn. —Dr. Earl Tilford is a military historian and fellow for the Middle East & terrorism with the Institute for Faith and Freedom at Grove City College. He currently lives in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. A retired Air Force intelligence officer, Dr. Tilford earned his PhD in American and European military history at George Washington University. From 1993 to 2001, he served as Director of Research at the U.S. Army’s Strategic Studies Institute.

Page 14 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Wednesday, November 27, 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. Count your blessings, Saugus The families of Saugus have a lot to look forward to next year with the opening of the new Saugus Middle-High School. Who wouldn’t want to be going into brand-new school facilities instead of the old and deficient ones the town has had for many years? But as the recently released “District Review Report of Saugus Public Schools” points out, improvements in the town’s school district are a work in progress. It’s not just about the building. As a courtesy to our readers, we are publishing a series of articles about the 90-page report, which should eventually be posted on the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education website. While the report focuses on a host of deficiencies that need to be addressed in order to make meaningful improvements in the town’s education system, it can be used as a valuable resource as it is somewhat of a blueprint or guide for the new School Committee, the school administration, principals, teachers and concerned parents. It does acknowledge a lot of positives that are going on as the town strives for a better public education system. And it does offer numerous recommendations. Happy Thanksgiving to our readers and all town residents. Welcome new Christmas tree That 31-foot tall Norway spruce which Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree said was going to be planted on the island near the Civil War monument in Saugus Center has arrived. This will be the replacement tree for the one that was mowed down in July by a 31-year-old Lynn man driving an SUV. So, town workers will be able to string some Christmas lights on that tree for the annual town tree lighting event, which is set for Friday, Dec. 6 from 5 to 8:30 p.m. I hear Santa will be joining the crowd again. Stay tuned for details. MEG Foundation Christmas Festival The Ninth Annual Christmas Tree Festival opens Friday (Nov. 29) from 3 to 8 p.m. at the MEG Foundation Building at 5458 Essex St. in Saugus. On Saturday, Nov. 30, the festival will be open at the same time. If you miss those dates, there’s still more time – on Dec. 1, 5, 6 and 7 – during the same hours. All are welcome to join the celebration in this historic building, enjoying a cup of hot cocoa, cookies and other refreshments. On Dec. 6 and 7, there will be beautiful, live music, sponsored by the New Hope Assembly of God Church. Raffle tickets will be available for those interested in winning a beautiful tree full of goodies and surprises, homemade wreaths and/ or gift baskets. Admission to all events is free.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Wednesday, November 27, 2019 Page 15 Governor Baker Signs Legislation Requiring HandsFree Use of Electronic Devices While Driving B OSTON – Governor Charlie Baker on Monday signed legislation to improve road safety in the Commonwealth, which stipulates that no motor vehicle operator may use electronic devices while driving unless the technology is being used hands-free. The legislation, which adopts recommendations from the Commonwealth’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan, also sets forth penalties for violating the law and requires that law enforcement officers report data on violations so the information can be shared with the public. Governor Baker was joined at the signing ceremony by Lt. Governor Karyn Polito, state leaders, officials with the National Transportation Safety Board, and representatives from advocacy groups, including, the Vision Zero Coalition, Safe Roads Alliance, LiveableStreets Alliance, WalkBoston, MassBike and Boston Cyclists Union. The Governor acknowledged the work of stakeholders for efforts to get handsfree legislation passed and thanked the families of victims for sharing their personal stories during legislative hearings. “Our Administration is committed to keeping the Commonwealth’s network of roads safe, and this legislation will substantially reduce distracted driving and hold operators accountable when they are looking at an electronic device instead of looking at the road ahead,” said Governor Baker. “We are especially grateful for the many advocates and families that passionately fought to bring this bill to fruition, are thankful for the Legislature’s collaboration on this bill and look forward to continued efforts to improve road safety in Massachusetts.” “The Commonwealth and its communities have a shared obligation to keep roads safe for all users, and the new handsfree law is another important step as we seek to fulfill that responsibility,” said Lt. Governor Polito. “This commonsense legislation makes clear that in order to operate a vehicle safely, individuals must put safe driving first – ahead of reading emails or texting a friend.” Under the new law, titled An Act requiring the hands-free use of mobile telephones while driving, operators of motor vehicles and bicycles cannot use an electronic device unless the device is being used in handsfree mode. Operators cannot read or view text or look at images or video, unless what is being viewed on the device is helping with navigation and the device is mounted in an appropriate location. They also cannot make phone calls unless they are able to do so without holding the phone, utilizing technology such as Bluetooth. The new law permits the use of electronic devices if they are being used in response to an emergency, necessary for first responders to do their jobs. It also permits use if operators are stationary and not in active lanes of travel. Punishment for violating the hands-free law includes a $100 fine for a first offense, $250 fine for a second offense and $500 fine for a third or subsequent offense. A third or subsequent offense will count as a surchargeable incident. Operators who commit a second or subsequent offense are required to complete an educational program focused on distracted driving prevention. “The hands-free legislation is now law in Massachusetts thanks to the tireless work of advocates and victims’ families,” said Transportation Secretary and CEO Stephanie Pollack. “Legislators were moved to action after hearing the personal stories of people who have lost loved ones in traffic crashes. Advocacy groups were with the families every step of the way and marshaled support for this bill. I would like to thank the Vision Zero Coalition, Safe Roads Alliance, LiveableStreets, WalkBoston and many other pedestrian and bicycle advocacy groups for their efforts and I look forward to continuing our collaboration to get additional road safety bills passed during the next legislative session.” “ This important reform shows how seriously we take roadway safety,” said Secretary of Public Safety and Security Thomas Turco. “A distracted driver is a dangerous driver. This law will help keep drivers’ attention on the road and give law enforcement an additional tool to deter risky behavior.” “As first responders to serious crashes across the state every day, Massachusetts State Troopers know too well the consequences of distracted driving, and we thank the Baker-Polito Administration and the Legislature for this important new tool to help us combat this dangerous behavior,” said Colonel and Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police Christopher S. Mason. “Today is a day that will make our roads safer.” “This legislation will protect pedestrians and drivers on our roads by keeping mobile devices out of the hands of those who operate vehicles,” said House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo. “Additionally, this legislation establishes a new implicit bias training program for any jurisdiction deemed by an analysis of data to have engaged in racial or gender profiling.” “There are too many heartbreaking stories of those who lost loved ones to distracted driving, and so I’m proud to see this bill signed into law,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka. “This bill strikes a balance between increased enforcement and increased transparency, requiring more demographic data to be released to the public than ever before so that we can ensure this law is being enforced equitably across the Commonwealth. I’d like to thank Senator Boncore, Senator Brownsberger, and everyone involved for their hard work to get this done.” “This bill will improve the safety of our streets and promote transparency in law enforcement,” said Senator Joe Boncore, Chair of the Joint Committee on Transportation. “Distracted driving is an epidemic, and this bill will save lives. Further, by updating our data collection laws, we will better understand and improve our communities’ interactions with public safety officials.” Safe Roads Alliance President Emily Stein added, “It is such a relief to finally see a handsfree bill pass in our Commonwealth. It is a proud, emotional, and hopeful moment, and I ask that all drivers in Massachusetts pause for a moment too, and understand how distracted driving can impact so many precious lives on our roads. I fought for stronger distracted driving laws for my dad, who was killed in 2011, and also for the hundreds of lives that are lost, and the thousands of people who endure life-long injuries because of something so preventable. This law will save lives.” “We are grateful for the leadership and partnership of the Baker-Polito Administration in moving this life-saving law forward,” said Stacy Thompson, LivableStreets Alliance Executive Director. “This is an important step toward achieving Vision Zero in Massachusetts and we look forward to working with the Administration and Legislature to advance several other critical road safety bills in the new year.” Stacey Beuttell, Executive Director of WalkBoston, added, “WalkBoston is pleased that this legislation has been signed; this law will encourage people driving to focus solely on that task, making streets safer for people walking & running in communities across Massachusetts. We’re hopeful that this long-awaited signing will kick off a focus on traffic safety for this next legislative session.” “We applaud the Legislature and Governor Baker’s Administration for delivering this bill to the people of Massachusetts,” said Becca Wolfson, Executive Director of Boston Cyclists Union. “The regional rise in bike ridership means there are more vulnerable road users than ever in Massachusetts, and this law will curb distracted driving and make streets safer for everyone.” The hands-free law takes effect ninety days after passage and has reporting requirements for law enforcement officers who make traffic stops. They must make note of data, including the age, race and gender of individuals issued a warning or citation. The Registry of Motor Vehicles will house the data and the Secretary of Public Safety’s office will annually release the information to the public. The new law sets forth a process in the event there are suspicions a law enforcement entity may be engaging in racial profiling. The hands-free legislation is one proposal included in a comprehensive road-safety package filed earlier this year by the Baker-Polito Administration. That proposal includes measures to improve work zone safety, require the use of ignition interlock devices for first time offenders, and the creation of a framework to regulate new technology like electronic scooters and other lowspeed mobility devices.

Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “Speaker DeLeo waited to the last day of legislative session to agree to withdraw his proposal to politicize the Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF). Thanks to the work of the Senate, the legislature has preserved a bipartisan, consensus driven process that has worked well for over forty years.” The House version of the bill included a provision that sought to strip the state Republican Party of their voice in the selection of the director of OCPF. Under their draft, the current bipartisan selection committee would have been replaced with one dominated by Democratic politicians and their appointees. The controversial provision included in the House’s version sought to replace a system in place since 1973, wherein the director of OCPF is selected by the Chair of the Republican Party, Chair of the Democratic Party, and appointees of both the Secretary of State and the Governor. A unanimous vote is currently required for appointment, guaranteeing the selection of a consensus candidate acceptable to all parties. Today, that selection process was preserved. “Maybe this time next legislative session, Speaker DeLeo will bring back term limits for the Speaker position,” said Craney. “A promise Speaker DeLeo campaigned on when running for the powerful position, only to get rid of them when they would apply to him. Good government rules are only as good as those that enforce and protect them. Today, Massachusetts averted a disaster but proponents of good government in Massachusetts still have more work to be done,” said Craney.

The grant funding was made possible through ACS’s partnership with the NFL and the league’s Crucial Catch campaign. On Thursday, November 21, the Patriots and ACS formally presented the grant at an event at CHA Everett Hospital with staff, providers and members of CHA’s Board of Trustees. The grants are the latest in ACS’s Community Health Advocates Implementing Nationwide Grants for Empowerment and Equity program, which provides funding opportunities as part of the ACS’s commitment to reduce cancer disparities. CHA, an academic community health system that provides care in Cambridge, Somerville, Malden, Chelsea, Revere and Everett, will receive $125,000 over a two-year period. The grant is one of eight being awarded nationwide, and this is the first time the Crucial Catch program has expanded to address lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women in the United States – responsible for about one in four deaths.

Each year more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. The ACS estimates there will be about 228,150 new lung cancer cases and 142,670 lung cancer deaths in the United States in 2019. “We are very excited to have been selected for this funding to help support the patients and communities served by CHA, where there is a significant burden of cancer,” said Dr. Alexander White, CHA’s chief of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine. “Of these SOUNDS | from page 14 estate in the town.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Wednesday, November 27, 2019 Page 17 Historic Boston Harbor Islands renovated by T.J. McCartney, Inc. and Painters Union oston Harbor’s Georges and Peddocks Islands received a much-needed facelift to visitors’ centers and historic landmarks, thanks to contractor T.J. McCartney, Inc. and volunteer painters from the Finishing Trades Institute of New England (FTINE). Through this ongoing annual partnership, T.J. McCartney, Inc. and FTI-NE have contributed immensely to preserving and restoring many of Boston’s most precious historic destinations. In 2019, FTI-NE spent nearly 2,000 hours working on the islands over four weeks, during which they received handson training. B “Our continued commitment to the Harbor Islands ‘behind the scenes projects’ provides our employees with a real opportunity to support the maintenance teams of the Boston Harbor Islands,” said TJ McCartney President Tom Steeves. “Working in construction we understand the importance of normal maintenance work and basic infrastructure upgrades. Our efforts make their jobs a little easier and give them the ability to focus on the public-facing work they do every day.” “It is an absolute privilege to be part of such a historic preservation project,” said FTI-NE Director of Apprenticeship Eric Redding. “The young men and women coming through the apprenticeship program will remember this project for the rest of their lives.” On Peddocks Island, the chapel was repainted and safety improvements were made to the boat dock. The Peddocks Island Chapel is one of Boston’s hidden nondenominational sacred spaces, and one of 500 similarly built military kit chapels built before and during World War II. On Georges Island, the painters stripped paint and repainted the bars of the Civil War–era prison and the guard shack, as well as making improvements to the visitor center. They also installed new safety improvements for visitors, including building exterior steps on the island, painting a safety stripe and ensuring that the boat dock had better traction for visitors as they transfer between boats and the island. These are just a few of the improvements that were made to the historic islands.
