Vogler) For this week’s column, we reached out to each of the members of the Board of Selectmen and the School Committee and asked them if they would like to send a holiday message to our readers. All fi ve selectmen responded. Three of the fi ve School Committee members participated. Their individual holiday wishes to the residents of Saugus and their favorite holiday stories follow. Q: Please share your thoughts on your Christmas gift for the town this year – something you hope to work for. One gift you want to give the town if it’s in your power as a public offi cial. Also, if you feel in the spirit, feel free to share a short, heartwarming Christmas story that is Saugus-related. Could be from your childhood or a holiday memory that sticks out with you this time of year. Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta I think the residents of Saugus deserve a third fire station. The west side of our Town does not have a fi re station, where this concern has been discussed for decades. When you’re in a crisis, every second counts. Please know that we are currently in the feasibility stage of this project.
