ASKS | FROM PAGE 14 be able to conduct public meetings. With the modifications being made at Town Hall to improve air quality, I hope to switch our meetings back to in person in February of 2021. Board of Selectmen Vice Chair Corinne Riley: I will try my hardest to be more aware of my own ignorance and biases, to listen more and keep my mind open in any situations that arise. One thing I have learned is if you have not lived in another person’s body, you really don’t know what they think or feel or why they have a difference of opinion. Difference of opinion doesn’t necessarily mean one is right or another is wrong; it is an opportunity to listen more, understand more and come to common ground. I wish everyone a Happy, Healthy, Hopeful and Peaceful 2021. Selectman Jeffrey CicoliOf Valley Bend, W.V., formerly of Saugus, age 47, passed away at his home surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, December 17 after a very long battle of Colon Cancer.

Growing up in a wonderfully caring with all-eyes-on-him neighborhood and community, playing to the Max on the American Little League field, starting out his biggest passion to play ni: My resolution for the New Year is to continue to focus my time and attention on what is most important, my family and close friends. As I mentioned, I have experienced significant losses of family and friends in 2020, some were my age. This has really opened my eyes and made me realize how precious life is and that tomorrow is not guaranteed. The work/career will always be there, but it is important to spend as much quality time as possible with the ones you love. Have a happy and safe new year. Selectman Debra Panetta: Every year, I have the same resolution. I try to become a better person: more giving, more understanding, and more patient than the year before. I also try to learn something new every year to continuously challenge myself. In 2021, I’m also going to continue with my guitar lessons. I miss all the community events including the baseball parades, Shane B. Maxwell football in Pop Warner to proudly sporting the Red and White of his home town team The Saugus Sachems, to strapping on his first pair of hockey skates at Kasabuski Rink Swimming, boogie boarding finishing up his day making a sand castle at the beach any chance he got, giving private tours of the Saugus Iron Works when family came in from out of town, and saying his blessings on his day of rest at St John’s Episcopal Church. He was an avid fan of Boston sports, especially the New England Patriots. Shane was a graduate of Malden Catholic High School and had attended the University of Massachusetts and Grenville State College in Grenville, W.V. That brought Shane to Valley Bend, WV, where he embraced the life of a true Mountaineer. He brought his larger the life personality and bright welcoming smile to all he met. He took Ford pride as a Salesman-for Elkins Ford-land, but he got most of his enjoyment from coaching, working with, and watching his sons play for the Tygarts Valley Bulldogs football team. Shane always had his Family first–they were his World. He just couldn’t contain it. From his first set of Big Wheels to his Harley Davidson Motorcycle, Shane thought no ride is too long if you have Good Company, his Family & Friends. His life was always filled with Love, Faith, Devotion and Laughter and letting the Good Times roll. A Celebration of his Life will be held at a later date when we are all able to gather together. holiday stroll and Founder’s Day. It’s been hard on everyone.

My daughter is five years old and spent a year reminding everyone she met to pull their mask up over their nose and not to get too close. When this is all over, she’s going to Story Land. That’s my resolution! School Committee Member Joseph “Dennis” Gould: The only resolution I have is to beat COVID-19 and keep my family safe until the pandemic is over. 1. James Bond 2.
