Brown, who is the leader of the grassroots citizens group Citizens for a Safer Saugus. Brown, 70, was born in Saugus, where he has lived most of his life. He is a 1967 graduate of Saugus High School. Brown is in the final year of his third-consecutive twoyear term on Town Meeting. He also served three years on the 50-member body more than two decades ago. He is a retired machinist who worked at General Electric for 34 years. His wife, Cheryl, is also a Saugus native and Saugus High School graduate (Class of 1969). Their son, Alex, graduated from Salem State University after receiving his high school diploma from Essex Agricultural and Technical High School in Danvers. Highlights of the interview follow. Q: So, you are the leader of the group called Citizens for a Safer Saugus. Please tell me about the group as it exists now and also, how many members you have. A: Well, it’s hard to say how many members. We are kind of a loose-knit group. We met once and I somehow got elected chairman of the group. We’re still in touch. And I want people to know that I filed an article for the warrant for the last Annual Town Meeting to ask the selectmen to pursue a STILL WAITING: Town Meeting Member William S.

This plan was approved quietly without community input, despite a rising tsunami of public anger, and was followed by botched execution. The failure of this process has now landed back upon the fractured School Committee. Most residents of Saugus have never gone to a School Committee meeting and probably can’t name or recognize a single member. Video of every meeting is online, and while most are only viewed a handful of times, the June 20th meeting was viewed over 2,000 times in the first 48 hours.

Ms. Gaieski insisted the children were “dragged before the committee,” and urged them to be silenced. When furious parents challenged her that their children made the choice to advocate for their custodian, Gaieski refused to apologize and continued to blame the parents. In a stunning display of tone-deafness, she stated she personally speaks for all children in the district. A Vietnam veteran without children or grandchildren in the school system criticized the decision to fire the custodians and was called “ridiculous” by Gaieski, who told the outspoken and overflowing audience “I don’t care what you say,” and called them irrational for not understanding how difficult it was for her to terminate the custodians. Turning on each other, committee members mocked each other personally in front of the audience, accusing their fellow members, often while screaming, of lying, of having forked tongues, of employment sabotage, of financial malfeasance, of being puppets of the administration, and of dragging each other’s children into the fight. Ms. Gaieski furiously recalled that it was Ms. Marchese who insisted the entire committee stick together when public backlash began, confirming they knew this decision would not be popular, and that it was Marchese who hadn’t kept her word. It didn’t seem to occur to Gaieski that participation in this pact was nothing to be proud of in the first place. I’ve spoken to people since the meeting who can’t believe what they witnessed. Members had breakdowns under the stress, they say. This isn’t who they are. They’ve never seen them like this, or at least not this bad. What the committee may fail to understand is that this was their introduction to many residents of Saugus who chose this moment to become involved, especially those of us with young children about to enter the system. They are defined by this meeting. When town leaders overthink their mandate and ignore warning signs of collapsed support, doubling down has never worked. Respecting residents and being upfront every step of the way is the only thing that ever has. The superintendent handed the custodians badly proofread termination notices which didn’t even thank them for their years of service, and minutes after the letters went public released a press release gloating about all the investments he would make in Saugus with the savings. This misstep and repeated lack of empathy has damaged the public trust. I fear the school committee and administration will double down again and expect after a severance pay announcement that we need never speak of this again. I strongly urge them to note the warning signs, particularly a 34-2 vote by Town Meeting in support of the custodians, and reconsider their mandate. They may not care what we say, but they may notice how we vote this fall.

Vogler C omplete Cleaning Co. Inc., a 52-year-old Lynn-based contract cleaning business, has signed a one-year contract with the Town of Saugus to provide custodial services for $664,000 for the 2020 fiscal year that begins July 1. The contract includes an additional $148,000 on top of the total annual cost initially provided to the Town. This would include six-hour day porter service for 181 days at each of the six schools, according to 700 pages of documents provided to The Saugus Advocate by Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree’s office. Superintendent of Schools Dr. David DeRuosi, Jr. said he and Pola Andrews, the School Department’s executive director of finance and administration, “as the authorized reviewing committee,” reviewed the responses to a Request For Proposal for Custodial/Light Maintenance Services and “determined that Complete Cleaning submitted the most advantageous proposal.” DeRuosi signed a Notice of Intent on May 17 to award the contract to Complete Cleaning. Bonnie Tanner, the town’s assistant purchasing manager advised Complete Cleaning three days later that the Saugus Public Schools had accepted the company’s proposal for custodial and maintenance services. DeRuosi’s proposed School Department budget for the 2020 Fiscal Year included a little more than a million dollars to cover the payroll of 24 custodians in the Saugus Public Schools. But the School Department was telling Complete Cleaning and other companies back in April that “The School Department has decided to outsource the custodial services once the collective bargaining agreement expires.” The School Committee voted 3-2 to “outsource the custodial duties of the Saugus Public Schools on Wednesday (June 26) following a three-hour Executive Session. Town Manager Crabtree, DeRuosi, Andrews, Tanner, Town Accountant Donna Matarazzo and Town Counsel John Vasapolli signed the contract on June 10. DeRuosi and Andrews determined Complete Cleaning’s $516,000 proposal better than the proposals from the following: Interstate Corporation, $1.3 million; the company is headquartered in Horsham, Pa.; ABM Industry Groups, LLC of Somerville, $1.4 million. DeRuosi said last week that the contract the town signed with Complete Cleaning could save $1.1 million annually “from operational and related efficiencies gained.” He did not provide specific details on the potential cost savings of privatization. But Jim Durkin, the legislative director for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 93, said he considers the projected $1.1 million savings “over-exaggerated.” “There’s a reason this is only a one-year contract,” Durkin said. “Companies that secure the contract with a low ball bid may not be providing their workers with good wages and benefits. And as a result, you have this constant turnover,” Durkin said. “By looking at the contract right out of the gate, we can see the cost has already increased. The original proposal is $516,000 and has gone up to $664,000,” he said. The contract provides an option for extension by two additional one-year periods. “Nothing requires the District to extend the Contract beyond the initial one-year term,” the contract notes. “If the contract is extended, it is to be extended at the same price quoted for the first guaranteed year. The documents obtained by The Saugus Advocate say Complete Cleaning was “rated excellent by three references” and had the “most experiences with schools.” ABM was “rated excellent by one of three references while Interstate was “rated good.” In documents responding to the RFP, Complete Cleaning provided three references: the Masconomet Regional School District of Topsfield, the Lynn Public Schools and Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School of Haverhill. “Complete Cleaning Company, Inc. has been effectively servicing public and private schools and municipal buildings since the company’s exception,” the company noted in stating its qualifications. “All personnel are experienced, highly trained and involved with the daily operations at each facility. There is little to no turnover with our staff,” the company continued. “We consider our employees our greatest attribute, and proudly employ over two hundred highly trained staff, who are offered comprehensive benefits, paid time off, and comprehensive training programs. Complete Cleaning Company, Inc. maintains the highest service level standards in the industry.” Garry M. Beaver is listed as the owner and president of Complete Cleaning. The proposal notes that Beaver has been involved with janitorial operations since 1975. Durkin said he is concerned that the documents provided by Complete Cleaning don’t include the hourly pay rates and list of benefits offered to all employees, as required by the RFP.

And the Saugus High School student broke down in tears while sympathetic spectators at Wednesday morning’s School Committee meeting said members should be ashamed of themselves after a 3-2 vote to privatize custodial services. Olivia was among about 40 people who showed up for the 7:15 a.m. Executive Session meeting in the Roby School Building. The group – which included students, parents, teachers, custodians and others who support them – hung around for about three hours while the committee and Saugus Public Schools Superintendent Dr. David DeRuosi, Jr. met behind closed doors. After a resounding vote at Monday night’s Special Town Meeting supporting on a nonbinding resolution to oppose privatization, there was still hope School Committee members would be influenced to back off any plans to replace the custodians with a private company. Those hopes were heightened by the results of Olivia’s online petition drive on change.org which had already gathered more than 3,500 signatures as of yesterday (see related story) calling for the reinstatement of the custodians. Another petition drive initiated by former Saugus School Committee Member Corinne Riley has already acquired more than 600 signatures opposing privatization and supporting the custodians. and businesses was instead being vented safely into the air,” Nadeau said. “Although the steam was State Rep. RoseLee Vincent to a steam turbine. During the repair process, steam that would normally power the turbine to create clean, renewable energy for local homes vented through a silencer to reduce sound to the required standard, the venting was still noticeable in some neighborhoods located in close proximity to our facility. An enhanced silencer is being shipped to the facility and it will be installed as early as tomorrow (Thursday) by crews working around the clock.

Three of the five committee members, Chair Jeannie Meredith and members Linda Gaieski and Marc Magliozzi, voted in favor of privatization. Lisa Morgante and Vice-Chair Elizabeth Marchese supported the custodians. A student makes her case “We have a community that stands together to say this isn’t what we want,” Olivia told the School Committee after they allowed her to address them before a formal vote was taken. “And it won’t ever be, no matter what happens. We like the people who support us and work with us. We don’t want to see them go,” she said. “Outsourcing these custodians wouldn’t be what’s best for us, the Saugus students. No matter what the paperwork says, these are people who are important to us and who are vital for our community and our school environment,” she said. But in the face of overwhelming public support for the school custodians and mounting criticism that the process for privatization has not been a public one, the School Committee adopted a vote that was made in secret session during a May 8 Executive Session that two committee members believe was illegal and violated the state Open Meeting Law. Committee Member Linda Gaieski read the motion, which she represented as the action taken by the committee at that May 8 meeting: “Outsource the custodial duties of the Saugus Public Schools with a private cleanSHAME | SEE PAGE 5 ׉ 7cassandra://VUguzM866KAUBbUEzxKkBVhkDj8aPY9PMqi7jTAw41E/a`̰]G#;_׉E$THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, June 28, 2019 Page 5 SHAME | FROM PAGE 4 ing company due to the substantial savings accrued that will be applied to a multifaceted plan to restore and create new educational programs and to continue impact bargaining over separation and termination on June 30, 2019 based upon our discussion today.” Gaieski, School Committee Chair Jeannie Meredith and Marc Magliozzi voted in favor of the motion to privatize custodial services. Lisa Morgante and Elizabeth Marchese – the two committee members who questioned the validity of the Executive Session in interviews with The Saugus Advocate earlier this month – voted against the privatization proposal. Open Meeting Law complaint The May 8 Executive Session is the subject of an Open Meeting Law complaint by The Saugus Advocate. The committee convened in secret session without a proper statutory purpose stated on the agenda notice for what was discussed and apparently voted on. Committee members intended to meet in the Executive Session “for the purpose of Collective Bargaining with the Custodians and the Superintendent’s Contract,” according to the agenda notice for the meeting. Instead, a discussion involving the committee and DeRuosi reportedly focused on how the School Department could save money by privatizing custodial services. Apparently, some kind of vote was taken, which led to the hiring of a company to replace the custodians. There should have been public discussion and action taken in public if the School Committee and the superintendent wanted to replace the 21 school custodians with a private company, the newspaper contended in its Open Meeting Law complaint. School Committee members approved the minutes for the May 8 Executive Session, but did not make them available following Wednesday’s meeting. Beyond reading the motion, the members didn’t explain the reasons why privatization would be in the best interests of the School Department. They left the meeting room abruptly without answering reporters’ questions. Morgante and Marchese have previously complained that there hasn’t been a thorough study done explaining the need for privatization of custodial services and how it will benefit the school district. Several members in the audience expressed outrage at the School Committee vote to privatize custodial services. Former School Committee Member Arthur Grabowski called members “cowards.” “See you in November. See you in November,” Grabowski yelled at the committee as the meeting ended. Elementary School custodian Bill Moore – who has been Olivia’s favorite custodian – tried to comfort her as she sobbed over the committee vote. Jim Durkin, the legislative director for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 93, predicted that the School Committee members who voted for privatization of custodial services would have difficulty getting reelected in the town’s fall elections. “There are 4,063 union household members in Saugus,” Durkin said in an interview after the meeting. “We’re going to make sure that every single one of them is aware of what transpired here today. Every time something goes wrong with privatization – and it will – we’ll tell the members,” he said. “What the School Committee and the superintendent have done today is hand over the keys to Saugus Public Schools to complete strangers. They have replaced known and respected custodians with a cleaning crew with unknown histories and unknown backgrounds. And they will all live to regret it. We’re going to make sure people never forget who owns this,” he said.

Bobby Avila, a former Cleveland Indians All-Star and a scout for the team, was searching for talent in Cuba. Tiant was recommended by Avila to the Mexican City Tigers of the Mexican League and was on his way to a professional career. For the next three years he played for the Tigers and for the Havana Sugar Kings of the International League. Avila’s recommendation led to Tiant being purchased by the Cleveland Indians. Moving to Cleveland made life difficult for him. With annoyance from Fidel Castro and the invasion of the Bay of Pigs, Tiant was not to see his parents for 14 years; Castro made it impossible for those who left to return home. In 1962 he played in the Indians’ farm system with Charleston of the Eastern League. He didn’t much like Charleston. He stated, “I couldn’t speak very good English but I understood racism. They treated me like a dog.” He was upgraded to Burlington, N.C., and became one of the best pitchers in the Carolina League in 1963, then in Portland, Oregon in 1964. He acquired a 15 and 1 record with Triple-A Portland, including a no-hitter and a one-hitter in consecutive starts. He was called up by the Indians in 1964 and got his first start on July 19, hurling a 4 single, 11 strikeout and 3-0 shutout victory over the defending American League Champion New York Yankees. He beat the Yankees’ Whitey Ford in Luis’s first encounter in the big leagues. Tiant finished his rookie season with a 10 and 4 record, 105 strikeouts and an ERA of 2.83, in 19 games. He created the hesitation pitch in turning away from home plate during his motion, after altering his motion after a shoulder blade injury which slowed his velocity. Luis led the league in ERA at 1.60 and nine shutouts. This broke the record for the Indians – which still stands – 5.30 hits per 9 innings. It was also Bill Stewart The Old Sachem the Major League record until Nolan Ryan had a record 5.26 hits per 9 innings. He finished the year with a 22 and 9 record. On July 3 he struck out 19 Minnesota Twins in a teninning game in 1967. Tiant was traded to the Twins in 1970 after an injury-plagued season in 1969. He began the season with 6 wins, but then fractured his right scapula, ending his season and probably his career. He was released in 1971 after going through spring training for the Twins. The Braves signed him to a Minor League contract to play for their Triple-A Richmond, then Luis was acquired by the Boston Red Sox for their Minor League Louisville Colonels. He was called up during 1971, struggling with a 1 and 7 record and an ERA of 4.88. In 1972 he came back with a 15 and 6 record and led the league with a 1.91 ERA. He followed up with 20 wins in 1973 and 22 in 1974. He became known as “El Tiante” and began his route to a beloved hurler for the Red Sox. He was slowed down in 1975 by back problems, winning only 18 games for the AL Championship Sox. In the playoffs he defeated the three-time defending World Championship OakEL TIANTE | SEE PAGE 19 ׉ 7cassandra://HKFEE_pp0F4FZENnt-wqVkTSsf2Sawaijo5tPLrxZJQ.`̰]G#;_׉ETHE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, June 28, 2019 Page 7 A resolution on resolutions Special Town Meeting votes unanimously to set up procedures on nonbinding resolutions By Mark E. Vogler T own Counsel John Vasapolli told members at Monday’s Special Town Meeting that he still doesn’t feel comfortable with members considering nonbinding resolutions that aren’t on the warrant. Vasapolli advised members that no action of a Town Meeting is valid unless it first appears on the warrant. But in the end that didn’t bother Town Meeting members who voted 36-0 for the new measure that allows any member to submit a nonbinding resolution within 48 hours. “Stop the nonsense once and for all,” former Town Moderator Bob Long told the 50-member body. Long took the position that resolutions have been introduced for decades on the floor of Saugus Town Hall without a need to require they appear on the Town Meeting warrant. “This nonsense of whether it should be on the warrant or not really is that [nonsense],” Long said. He added that anyone knowledgeable of Robert’s Rules of Order would have no problem understanding why resolutions should be permitted without having to put them on the warrant. Veteran Town Meeting Member William Stewart shared a recent email exchange he had with Town Meeting Moderator Steve Doherty. Stewart told Doherty he was “very disappointed” when Doherty announced he had contacted moderators from towns around the state to obtain a ruling that would not allow Precinct 5 Town Meeting Member Ron Wallace to introduce his resolution supporting school custodians. “If you had contacted either Richard Barry or Robert Long, both former Moderators of Saugus [Town Meeting], you would have found out that Robert’s Rules of Order is the booklet that has been used for the last century to determine the method of communication in Town Meeting,” Stewart wrote. Doherty responded that it wasn’t the first time he had heard of Robert’s Rules and its position in Town Meeting resolutions. “If you can tell me where, in Robert’s Rules, it mentions ‘Town Meetings’ or ‘Town Warrants,’ I’d love to know. Because I couldn’t find any reference to either,” Doherty wrote. “Robert’s Rules is a guidebook of meeting etiquette. Our Town Charter, Town By-Laws and State Laws are where our meeting rules-of-the-road are found,” he said. To that, Stewart answered, “1) While I cannot show you where Resolutions are authorized, neither can you show me where they are forbidden, 2) Saugus Town Meeting has a history going back at least 50 years of allowing Resolutions, 3) The Boston City Council allows Resolutions, 4) The state Legislature allows Resolutions.” Former Saugus Town Meeting Member Peter Manoogian contributed to the discussion with a 2009 opinion he had received from Vasapolli. “Nonbinding resolutions are provided for in Roberts Rules of Order,” Vasapolli had written Manoogian. “I believe you have introduced a number of resolutions over the years which have been voted by town meeting. All resolutions are nonbinding. A committee may be created by resolution,” Vasapolli wrote. “However, any action of a committee created by a resolution could only be valid after being voted upon by town meeting on subject matter contained in a warrant.” Article 3, which was passed by the Annual Town Meeting, adds a new section 214.00 to the Town of Saugus Bylaws in subcategory 200 of “Government of Town Meeting” that will be titled ‘Resolutions”: Any Town Meeting member may propose a nonbinding resolution, with 48 hours written or electronic notice to the Saugus Town Clerk not counting weekends and holidays. The Saugus Town Clerk will promptly notify the Moderator upon receipt of said resolution and forward said resolution to Town Meeting Members. Resolutions may not seek to appropriate funds, propose zoning or general bylaw changes or have any binding effect on the operation of town government. Resolutions will not be considered as actions of the Town Meeting as defined by MGL C h. 39 S10 but rather statements of opinion in accordance with past practice. Resolutions will be acted upon during the next Town Meeting or within a Town Meeting that is temporarily adjourned, whichever comes first. A majority vote of the quorum will be required to adopt a resolution. Visit Our Newly Expanded Facility. We will beat competitors pricing!

The flip side of that story will play out a few miles down the road in East Boston this weekend. Late Sunday afternoon, when the last horse crosses the finish line in the final nightcap at Suffolk Downs, the laws of modern progress will go into full effect. Where champions like Seabiscuit and Whirlaway, Cigar and Skip Away dazzled throngs, 10,000 units of new housing will be raised, part of a massive new community. The book will slam shut on 84 years of often glorious history at the East Boston Oval. Perhaps the Gaming Commission’s decision to grant the casino license to Wynn Resorts will prove wise over time. Out of the gate, however, the storyline is unappealing. For the better part of 20 years, Suffolk Downs rattled the Commonwealth’s cage seeking a casino license. It was finally within reach when a carpetbagger – Las Vegas mogul Steve Wynn – swept in at the 11th hour and snatched it from the Gaming Commission’s upturned palms. Racing fans, smarting from the perception that a Boston fixture had been kicked to the curb, were soon left to ponder the diligence the Gaming Commission had devoted to investigating the two applicants. THE WAY IT WAS: The entrance to the Old Saugus Race Course – also known as Franklin Park – where Saugus hosted harness racing up until 1905, when the track closed.

(He denies the allegations.) That news was late. The race had gone “official.” So, there is just a last chance to visit the scene of so many victories and defeats, the arena where such vast numbers of sporting men for years, like pilgrims, paid their devotions. They will all be back Sunday, jostling toward the betting windows.

The ghosts of men in hats. All that will remain after Sunday is the job of demolishing the old racetrack. When it was constructed on mudflats in 1935, Suffolk Downs’ grandstand was the largest in the country. It is solid concrete, and may not go easily. Thunderous explosions will likely rattle the good china in homes on Orient Heights and Beachmont. Perhaps the shock waves will reach Saugus, passing over the Pines River, the marshes and the site of Saugus’s 19th Century track, Franklin Park. Built in 1859, Franklin Park In House Dental Plan for $399 (Cleanings, X-Rays, Exams twice a year and 20% OFF Dental work) Schedule your FREE Consultations today survived until 1905. According to the late Thomas Mahlstedt, the chief archaeologist of the old Metropolitan District Commission, Franklin Park prospered for years as the largest racetrack in the area. For the well-heeled sporting crowd, a luxurious four-story hotel was constructed by the track in the 1880s. What heroics were enacted on the track? Which horses were the glory of that time? What were the great betting coups talked about for years and years? None of the answers can be summoned up on the internet. Franklin Park’s demise is the part of its history best recorded. Mahlstedt and Wikipedia agree that Saugus residents became disenchanted with track habitués. The MDC archaeologist wrote: “Slowly as more and more cardsharks, prostitutes and other characters of questionable repute frequented it, local neighbors, church groups and finally the Board of Selectmen agitated for the park’s closure. The swell of public opinion, combined with lessening profits, culminated in the track and hotel’s ceasing business in 1905.” After closing, the track briefly became a site for circuses and carnivals. In 1911, the old horse stalls were converted to airplane hangers, and an early aviation school was founded. When pari-mutuel wagering was legalized in 1934, a group of investors sought to revive racing at the site but lost out to the developers of Suffolk Downs. Never too late. Perhaps the current stewards of the property, the Department of Conservation and Recreation, would be interested in returning the site to its 19th Century glory. While waiting for that longshot to come in, you can pay a final visit to one of the last old places in Boston. Post time at Suffolk Downs for 12-race cards both Saturday and Sunday is 12:55. Sunday, the track will be selling T-shirts commemorating its 84-year history, with proceeds going toward thoroughbred aftercare. Admission and parking are free. So are the memories... Editor’s Note: Railbird is the pen name of a former newspaperman. He now confesses that he occasionally stopped at Suffolk Downs to play his favorite horses while on the clock. ׉ 7cassandra://PxyiWKcukxxk-aTeVR4nDVpv2kGc08E4Elus51B1fLg)!`̰]G#;_׉ETHE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, June 28, 2019 Page 9 “ Considering YouMUST Test Drive A Mitsubishi!” Best Standard Coverage ✔5 Year/60K Mile Bumper To Bumper Warranty ✔ 5 Year/24 Hour Roadside Assistance ✔ Best 10 Year/100K Mile Powertrain Warranty ✔ 0% APR Up To 6 Years Available Ranked #1 In Safety, Reliability & Value Standard Features Include: MSRP $ 29 MPG 7 Pass., Back-Up Camera, Bluetooth, Remote P/L, P/W w/1 One-Touch, Htd Drivers Seat, CVT Trans., 4-Wheel ABS Brakes, A/C W/Dual Zone Climate Ctrl, Cruise Ctrl, Audio Ctrls On Steering Wheel. #M5282 N 29 MPG New MitsubishiOutlander SE AWD Sale Price 29,195 $23,997 Save $ Standard Features Include: MSRP $ $20, Chrome Pkg., Bluetooth, Remote P/Door P/L, P/W with 1 One-touch, CVT Trans., 4-Wheel ABS Brakes, A/C w/Climate Ctrl, Cruise Ctrl, Traction Ctrl - ABS and Driveline, Front-Wheel Drive. #M5134 25,020 New MitsubishiOutlander Sport SEL AWD Sale Price 30 MPG Standard Features Include: MSRP $ $19, Back-Up Camera, Bluetooth, Remote P/L, P/W w/1 One-Touch, Htd Drivers Seat, CVT Trans., 4-wheel ABS Brakes, A/C w/Climate Ctrl, Cruise Ctrl, ABS & Driveline, 148 HP 2 Liter Inline 4 Cyl.

Vogler f Saugus School Committee members took the time to poll students about the role of custodians at Saugus High School, they might learn they made a huge mistake in deciding to privatize janitorial and maintenance services, according to Olivia Tamagna. “Everybody at Saugus High I School is disappointed about this,” said Olivia, 16, who will be a junior at the High School in the fall. “I don’t know one student who isn’t upset about this. It’s just so sad that what the School Committee has done isn’t in the best interests of the students,” she said. Olivia, the daughter of Saugus Board of Health Member Maria Tamagna, hasn’t reached the legal voting age of 18 yet. But she feels she is doing her civic duty by rallying public support for the 21 Saugus Public Schools custodians who received their termination notices last week from School Superintendent Dr. David DeRuosi, Jr. At Monday night’s Special Town Meeting, she got up and addressed the 50-member body on why she believes the custodians are an important part of the town’s educational community. She also mentioned the online petition drive she created called “Re-instate The DRUMMING UP SUPPORT: Left to right, Saugus High School student Olivia Tamagna, with her favorite custodian, Bill Moore, at Town Hall on Monday night after addressing a Special Town Meeting on the unheralded work of custodians in Saugus Public Schools.

As of yesterday morning, it received more than 3,600 responses as it moved toward a goal of 5,000. “I wish the members of the committee would just listen to what the students and people throughout the community are saying: that they don’t want this at all,” Olivia said in an interview as she waited with some three dozen spectators for the School Committee to end a three-hour Executive Session which began at 7:15 a.m. “For people who are supposed to represent us in the community, they are doing a crap job. It’s just so disappointing. I was proud to be a Saugus Public Schools student. But now, I am questioning that because of this decision that is so wrong,” she said. “Getting rid of the custodians who are so valuable in our community? This isn’t what we stand for as a community and never has been. I’ve got a lot of good memories of custodians who I’ve known since the second grade – more than you can count,” she said. Bill Moore, a custodian with 25 years of service to Saugus Public Schools, said he was very proud of the student he’s known since her early days in elementary school. “She was really a joy to know, and we’ve had lunch together about 2,000 times,” Moore said in an interview Monday night following the Special Town Meeting. “I’m really proud of her and what she’s been trying to do,” he said. Though a young person, Moore noted, Olivia articulates the sentiments of a lot of people in the community. Olivia crafted a special “reinstatement” message on the website: “Currently there is a battle going on in Saugus Massachusetts on the privatization of the custodians working for the Saugus Public Schools. We the Student, parents, and Teachers of Saugus schools should have a say in who we believe should clean the buildings we spend 5 days a week in. “So many people have spoken up about this issue only to be ignored. Help us raise support for the Saugus School custodians by signing this petition. Let’s show we care about who enters and spends the day taking care of the Saugus public school buildings. These are people who care about students and the schools they work in and they shouldn’t be thrown aside.” ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Here’s how you can keep making a statement about the Saugus School Committee vote to replace custodians T he final school committee vote was this morning and again the 20 school custodians were voted out in favor of privatization. This young girl got up and spoke and it was so emotional. She started a petition on www.change.org and as of this morning had gotten 3,316 signatures. This effort should be continued in spite of this morning’s vote. There is a statement to be made. I hope you can publish her effort entitled RE-INSTATE THE SAUGUS PUBLIC SCHOOL’S CUSTODIANS.

Vogler O n Monday night, Precinct 5 Town Meeting Member Ronald Wallace felt encouraged by the overwhelming support he received from his colleagues after a Special Town Meeting passed a resolution that he couldn’t introduce during two nights of the Annual Town Meeting. “I want to say that the School Committee was just sent a powerful message from Town Hall and that privatizing is not what the majority of people in town want to see happen,” Wallace said after members voted 34-2 to support a nonbinding resolution opposing the privatization of school custodians. “They still have time to right a wrong and do what the residents of Saugus want and that’s to keep our beloved custodians,” he said. But a majority of the School Committee was not swayed by the Special Town Meeting vote. And Wallace was so disappointed that he hinted he may not seek reelection in the fall to a Town Meeting seat. “It was a fun two terms on Town Meeting, but I cannot donate my time to a town that is a complete embarrassment on the North Shore right now,” Wallace told The Saugus Advocate Wednesday after the School Committee voted to privatize. “I want to say this is one of the most mishandled things I have ever seen in my 50 years in Saugus. The residents were ignored throughout the entire process,” Wallace said. “Even with contract talks going on, it could have been handled much differently. I have a unique angle on this being a 32-year union member. But also being on Town Meeting, I get to see the budget. The way the residents and custodians were treated is something people will not soon forget. I also was not treated fairly in the beginning with my resolution, and I thank Mrs. Riley for getting the signatures to keep it alive,” he said. He was referring to Corinne Riley, the former School Comof services delivered to our students, and replace loyal, hardworking, and dedicated employees with transient workers being paid at the poverty level; not paid a living wage.

She also spearheaded a signature drive for another article that established a procedure for considering future nonbinding resolutions. Voting against the resolution were Precinct 1 Member Susan C. Dunn and Courtney Whyte of Precinct 9. Karli M. Brazis of Precinct 5 abstained. Article 2 Whereas the Representatives in Town Meeting, here assembled, are the appropriating body in Saugus Town Government and are ultimately responsible for the expenditures of taxpayers monies; Whereas the Saugus School Committee is considering the privatization of custodial services in Saugus Public Schools and such an action would remove tax payer control and governmental accountability over the cleaning and maintenance of the town’s school buildings; Whereas eliminating the current custodial positions and replacing them with a private company would make our schools more susceptible to theft, reduce the quality aforementioned custodians, currently working in Saugus Public Schools, are residents of the town of Saugus and the average term of service of the custodial staff is equal to or greater than 17 years and; Whereas there is overwhelming public support for the custodians from parents, community leaders, school personnel, taxpayers, and residents; now, therefore, be it Resolved, the Representatives in Town Meeting, here assembled, encourage the members of the Saugus School Committee to reject the idea of privatization of the custodial services in Saugus Public Schools and negotiate with our custodial staff with a fair contract that is in the best interest of the students and taxpayers of Saugus.

Over their three most recent North Shore Baseball League (NSBL) contests, the Wings have done a much better job of preventing runs, allowing three per game. The problem is Saugus was having more difficulty scoring. And that dilemma played out in low-scoring losses to the Manchester Marlins, 3-1, last Saturday and the Rowley NorEasters, 5-1, on Monday. The Wings scored 10 times in notching their first victory of the season – a 10-1 triumph back on June 15 at Marblehead – nine of those tallies came in the first inning of that game. Over its last 20 innings culminating in the conclusion of Monday’s game, Saugus had managed to bring across just three runs total. In the loss to Saugus player Nick Raimo dives back to first base on a pickoff attempt in Monday’s game at Eiras Park Field in Rowley. (Advocate Photos by Greg Phipps) Manchester at World Series Park, the Wings finished with only three hits. Dawson Gaudet’s RBI double was the offensive highlight, and Steve DiBlasi and David Harris reached on singles.

He ended up going the distance, allowing six hits and five runs, and fanning seven in his six innings of duty. Meanwhile, the Wings could do very little offensively to get back into the game. Mike Mabee did swat three hits, and he drove in the lone Wings run. DiBlasi scored on Mabee’s hit. Harris had a single and a stolen base. Sean Moynihan and Pat Murray singled as well, and Nick Raimo had a stolen base. After the Rowley defeat, the Wings stood at 1-7 and in a tie with the North Reading A’s for last place. Still, they have hope to make it to the postseason, currently only one game behind Rowley for the eighth and final tournament position. NOW BOOKING NEW CUSTOMERS! DON’T WAIT!

The Saugus ace ended up with a strong showing for the North All-Stars at historic Fraser Field in Lynn. He hurled two innings and allowed one unearned run on three hits in an eventual 6-3 victory for the South squad in the 42nd annual Eastern Massachusetts Senior All-Star game. Tringale faced a 4-0 deficit when he took the mound in the top of the third inning in relief of the North starter. He gave up one hit but got through his first frame unscathed. The South Stars reached him for a run in the fourth when two hits, including a double, and an error in the outfield led to the South’s fifth tally. The North would rally to make it interesting with a run in the sixth and two more in the bottom of the ninth inning to account for the final score. Saugus head coach Joe Luis assisted Austin Prep coach Steve Busby in leading this year’s North squad. “After having a nice season like we had, it was great to be able to come and watch top talent in the area play,” Luis told the press after the contest. “The fielding was phenomenal, the pitching was excellent, the bats were swinging. I can take a little bit of what I saw [in the game] into next season. Seeing [the all-star players’] work ethic ... That’s what makes these kids so good. It’s the extra stuff.” St. John’s Prep catcher Alex Lane finished with two RBI and received the North team’s offensive player for the game award. Austin Prep’s Cam Seguin was the North’s pitcher of the game. Luis said it was a treat to see Good Credit or Bad Credit 153 Ferry St., Everett 617-294-4064 Tringale, who helped lead his 2019 Saugus team to a 15-7 overall finish that included a first-round playoff win, compete against the top players in the area. “It was special watching Todd pitch. He’s a special kid,” Luis observed. “He played a huge role in our success this year.” Tringale, who will attend UMass Amherst next year, held a 4-2 lead over Bishop Fenwick (BF), the eventual Div. 3 North champion, in this year’s quarterfinal round before seeing it dissipate when BF scored three times with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning to pull off a dramatic comeback victory.

Required reading; required viewing Anyone who has any interest in running for public office for the first time should tune into last Thursday night’s (June 20) meeting of the Saugus School Committee on SaugusTV, or get the written highlights from Town Meeting Member Ryan Fisher’s excellent Letter to the Editor in today’s Saugus Advocate. The lack of civility, respect for fellow members and professionalism that was displayed on local cable TV by a majority of the School Committee members didn’t do much to enhance the town’s public image. The overall broadcast might just provide some good pointers to Saugus residents on how they shouldn’t be conducting themselves. I tuned into SaugusTV a couple of times to watch the proceedings, and I was half expecting the late Morton Downey, Jr., the king of “trash TV,” to walk into the School Committee Room and provide some entertainment. With all of the children who show up for these meetings, it’s not setting a good example. Secrecy never works The School Committee and the School Department could have done a better job in decisions that led to the replacement of 21 custodians. For starters, if this was such a great idea and truly in the best interests of Saugus children and the education system, why weren’t there public forums about it? Why did it need to be done? Perhaps a feasibility study on how it might impact the school system, the pros and cons and the experience in communities comparable to Saugus? Instead, it turned out very badly for the community and the 21 custodians who lost their jobs. I have no doubts that the state Attorney General’s Division of Open Government will at some point be looking again at alleged violations of the state Open Meeting Law. Stay tuned. “A shout out” for Olivia Town Meeting Member Jeanie Bartolo has suggested that this week’s “Shout Out” go to Olivia “Olive” Tamagna, a 16-yearold Saugus High School student who doesn’t want Saugus residents to take the school custodians for granted. Jeanie praised Olivia “for starting the online petition to support our Custodians.” “She did a great job speaking on Town Meeting floor last night [Monday] and because of her efforts 2,700 and counting have signed the petition! This young lady has a bright future ahead of her. Way to go Olive!!!” Jeanie says. Anyone got any ideas for people they’d like to see get a “Shoutout?” This is an opportunity for our paper’s readers to single out – in a brief mention – remarkable acts or achievements by Saugus residents. Just send an email (mvoge@comcast.net) with the mention in the subject line: “An Extra Shout Out.” No more than a paragraph. Anything longer might lend itself to a story and/or photo. Greater transparency? Peter Manoogian wants to suggest a couple of ideas on making the government process more accessible and open in Saugus: Affording all petitioners the courtesy of a phone call when their article will be before the finance committee. This was common practice for finance committees for over half a century in this town until just recently Televising the special meetings between the town manager and groups of town meeting members in the fin com room so that the public can hear his explanations for his articles and programs Requiring dollar amounts be included in all financial articles at the time of warrant publication rather than a few days before. Shouldn’t the public have the benefit of knowing how much will be spent and for what purpose? Saugus over coffee, anyone? Back during several stints covering local politics in the city of Lawrence, I would organize neighborhood groups into several coffee klatches where the residents would talk about major issues in their respective parts of the city. These were very popular sessions, as they would empower city voters to discuss issues on their mind and their wish lists of projects they liked to see discussed on the campaign trail. These were so successful the citizens essentially set voter agendas for City Council, School Committee and sometimes mayoral races. Do you as a Saugus resident have issues that you would like to see public officials tackle in your neighborhood in town? Would you feel comfortable sitting down with a reporter over coffee focusing on what you would like to see done town-wide or in a specific neighborhood? Get some of your friends together, and let’s have some coffee as you articulate what you think should be an issue tackled by town or school officials.

He began the World Series for the Sox with 6 to zip over the Big Red Machine, the Cincinnati Reds, a 5-hit shutout. The Red Sox had a spectacular 7th inning, scoring all six runs then. The rally was started by Tiant, who led off the inning with a single and scored the first run on a single by Carl Yastrzemski. He was the winner of game 4, tossing 173 pitches in his second complete game of the series. He had a no-decision in game 6, “the greatest game ever played,” a 12-inning contest ended by a Carlton Fisk’s dramatic game-winning walk-off homer. Tiant was 21 and 12 in 1976, 12 and 8 in 1977 and 13 and 8 in 1978. He became a free agent after the 1978 season and signed with the dreaded Yankees. Over two seasons in New York, his record was 21 and 17. During off seasons he played in the Venezuela Professional Baseball League in parts of five seasons from 1966 to 1982, collecting 37 wins, 29 complete games, a 2.27 ERA and a nohitter in 1971. He finished his career with the Pirates in 1981 – 9 games, 2 and 5, 3.92 ERA Page 19 – then the Angels in 1982: 6 games, 2 and 2, 5.76 ERA. Tiant continued in baseball as a pitching coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers’ farm system from 1992 to 1995, then the Chicago White Sox in 1977. For the 1996 Summer Olympics he was the pitching coach for the Nicaraguan team. Leaving professional games, he became baseball head coach for Savannah College of Art and Design from 1998 to 2001. His record at the college was 55 wins and 97 defeats. Tiant was the pitching coach for the Red Sox Minor League Lowell Spinners in Class A Short Season. He continued as a special assignment instructor for the Red Sox. Luis was on the Hall of Fame (HOF) ballot from 1988 to 2002 but never received more than 30.9% votes, which he received in his first year. His 15-year time has passed for the HOF, and he has been selected for consideration for the Golden Era Committee in 2011 and 2014 and by the Modern Era Baseball Committee in 2017, but never selected. He was inducted in the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame on September 8, 1977, the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame and the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Tiant and his wife have three children and he has been a resident of Southborough, Mass., since 2002. He started up a line of cigars which he designed and used the name of El Tiante as the brand. He coauthored two autobiographies: “El Tiante: The Luis Tiant Story” with Joe Fitzgerald in 1976, and “Son of Havana: A Baseball Journey from Cuba to the Big Leagues and Back” with Saul Wisnia in 2019. Tiant was mentioned in the movie of 1977 “The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training,” and his rotational pitching motion was copied by Carmen Ronzonni and Jimmy Baio. He appeared as a pitcher in “Cheers” on January 6, 1983. He is the subject of a documentary film, “The Lost Son of Havana,” which was produced by Kris Meyer and the Farrelly brothers and directed by Jonathon Hock. The film premiered on April 23, 2009, at the Tribeca Film Festival and was acquired by ESPN Films. Luis Tiant follow a long list of exceptional Red Sox pitchers from Lefty Grove to Roger Clemens.

For residents of Revere and Saugus who have been experiencing this highestdegree of noise pollution, it has been absolute torture,” she said. “Not only as their state representative, but as a neighbor and friend to many who reached out to my office since Monday, June 17th, it has broken my heart to hear stories of people who have not been able to get a full night’s sleep in over a week and who have not been able to utilize their yards and eat outside on some of the most beautiful summer nights we have had so far this summer.” MULLIGAN CONSTRUCTION Specializing in: Interior Painting, Exterior Painting, Carpentry, Bathroom Remodeling, Windows, Decks and More! * Licensed & Insured - Mike Mulligan, owner 781-738-6933 EVERETT MALDEN REVERE SAUGUS A dvocAte Newspapers Published weekly by The Advocate Newspapers, Inc. • MAIN OFFICE • 573 Broadway, Everett, MA 02149 Mailing Address: PO Box 490407, Everett, MA 02149 Telephone: (617) 387-2200 / (781) 286-8500 (781) 233-4446 / FAX: (617) 381-0800 Email us at: Jmitchell@advocatenews.net info@advocatenews.net James David Mitchell, Publisher James D.

MassDEP has been working with Wheelabrator on other operational practices that may be employed to further reduce noise issues, according to Vincent. “I thank MassDEP for hearing the cries of my constituents, and I hope the agency will continue to hold Wheelabrator accountable for its actions,” Vincent said. “It should be noted that since November, 2016, my constituents who live in the shadow of the Wheelabrator Saugus facility have had to endure these types of noises at all hours of the day and night no less than seven times due to issues at the plant,” she said. “I think it’s time they meet today’s standards or close. The reason why the plant is making this noise is because it ’s a dinosaur and keeps breaking down. Wheelabrator issues apology In its statement on Wednesday, Wheelabrator spokesperson Nadeau said Wheelabrator Saugus will continue to accept waste from contract communities. “We apologize to our neighbors who were impacted by the venting and were understandably feeling frustration at the noise levels, which our entire team has been working to mitigate,” she said.

Instead of continuing to annoy the public with the noise, they decided IS YOUR HOME NEXT?
