Vogler) Dog walkers beware Canine Control Offi cer warns residents to take precautions to keep pets safe from coyotes after a rash of recent attacks on dogs By Mark E. Vogler C oyotes have attacked at least six dogs over the last three weeks, killing four of them, according to Saugus Canine Control Officer Darren McCullough. Five of the attacks occurred during the last two weeks, McCullough told The Saugus Advocate in an interview this week. “Three months ago, the coyotes weren’t a big issue. It wasn’t bad,” said McCullough, who was appointed as the town’s full-time Canine Control Offi cer in late October of 2020. “But it’s become a problem recently, especially in the last three weeks. I’ve put some calls into the state since the attacks to see if we can set up some kind of plan,” McCullough said. “I think the answer is to learn how to coexist with the coyotes and educate the public on what you can do to protect your pets. People need to know that they shouldn’t put their dog out in the backyard on a leash at night, especially small dogs.

Coyotes can scale a six-foot fence like nothing,” he said. McCullough said the recent rash of coyote attacks on dogs is the worst period the town has experienced in encounters involving coyotes and dog owners since he took over the Animal Control Department. “I don’t know if we’ve had reports of six total [coyote attacks on dogs] during the four years before these recent attacks,” McCullough said. “The coyotes are getting more brazen, attacking dogs who are out with their owners. People need to start harassing the coyotes. They need to throw rocks and sticks at them. They need to blow a whistle and make a lot of noise to scare them off. Harass them. Harass them. Harass them,” he said. Public education campaign underway McCullough has already collaborated with Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree’s office in beginning the education process. The town sponsored a special forum last month titled “Achieving Coexistence With Coyotes,” which was held at the Saugus Public Library. McCullough reached out to Dan Prouix, a Problem Animal Control Agent in Massachusetts with many years of experience in wildlife rehabilitation and animal control, to attend the forum and offer tips on how to deal with the growing coyote population that calls Saugus home. McCullough had seen Prouix’s presentation previously and thought it would benefit Saugus. At the library forum, Prouix discussed coyote habitat and behavior, how to avoid conflicts between household pets and coyotes and what to do and who to call if you experience problems with coyotes or come across a sick or injured one. McCullough said this week that he hopes to have similar forums in the future, while noting there are plans to put a special video incorporating the public education and tips on the Town of Saugus website.

He said the two dogs that survived were attacked on School Street and Clifton Avenue. “All of the attacks have occurred from dusk till 10 o’clock at night. All of them have occurred along the marsh area. No attacks were reported during the day, though coyotes have been seen around town during the day,” McCullough said. In addition to monitoring the attacks, McCullough has been monitoring the coyote activity throughout town. “The Baker Hill area and Bristow Street are probably the Number One and Two hot spots right now,” McCullough said. “I think there’s a bad coyote in the Baker Hill area. I’m probably going to put some signs up there,” he said. Concerns about the “habituated coyote” In most human encounters with coyotes, the coyotes will generally flee if the person starts harassing the animal. McCullough said that the “habituated coyote” – one that has grown used to people and spent time eating human-associated food – is the one to fear the most because it doesn’t run when harassed and is brazen in its encounters with people. This kind of coyote is so bold it will go after pets on a leash with the owner and will even approach and follow people. Special harnesses and vests with spikes are expensive, but effective ways to protect a dog from an aggressive coyote, McCullough said. There were 152 calls from the public involving coyote complaints in 2022, according to Saugus Canine Control Officer Darren McCullough (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate) Coyotes have killed four dogs in Saugus during the past three weeks. (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate) McCullough. The number of complaints this year through June was 24. McCullough said he believes that the number of overall complaints actually dipped because “the mange did a number on them.” Mange is a contagious skin disease caused by mites. But while the number of complaints may be fewer, there are growing concerns in recent weeks about violent attacks on dogs and aggressive behavior in spite of the dog owners being nearby. “People with dogs and cats need to educate themselves about the situation and take steps to protect their pets,” McCullough said. Residents with concerns or questions about coyotes should call Saugus Animal Control Officer Darren McCullough at 781521-3911 or at 781-231-4176.

In recent weeks, the town has received multiple reports of confrontations involving coyotes and small dogs, as well as unwanted interactions between coyotes and residents. Residents are encouraged to be extra vigilant of their surroundings as coyotes seek out food sources to bulk up in advance of winter. Dan Proulx, a Massachusetts problem animal control agent who gave a presentation titled “Achieving Coexistence with Coyotes” last month at the Saugus Public Library, advised that residents follow these tips to protect pets from unwanted coyote encounters: • Take away outdoor feeding sources around property. No outside feeding of pets, including water. Secure trash bins and take down any bird feeders. • Always check your property for coyotes before taking your dog outside. • Make lots of noise as a coyote deterrent. • Never let your dog out by itself, especially during early morning and in the evening. • Never let your dog outside by itself even in a fencedin yard, as coyotes are capable of jumping fences up to 8 feet high. your pet: • Do not run or turn your back. • If possible, get your pet safely inside. Return outside immediately to haze the coyote. • Haze the coyote by shouting at the animal, waving your arms, swinging a walking stick, or throwing small objects in their direction. • Consider carrying a pocket-sized air horn or citronella spray if you seek additional protection when walking your pet. Residents with concerns or questions about coyotes should call Saugus Animal Control Officer Darren McCullough at 781-521-3911 or at 781-231-4176. A THREAT TO PETS: If you allow your cat or dog to roam outside unsupervised, they are at risk of being harmed or killed by a coyote. (Courtesy Photo to The Saugus Advocate) • When walking dogs keep them on a short leash and by your side. • Coyotes are opportunistic predators that usually go after smaller animals. Be more vigilant if you own a small dog. • If you see a coyote haze (scare) the animal. Hazing can mean standing tall, waving your arms and stomping your feet. The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife suggests these measures to reduce the likelihood of a coyote attack on pets such as dogs and cats: • It is your presence next to your pet that prevents an attack. Do not supervise your pets from a distance. Outdoor pets should be on a leash at all times. • Keep cats indoors. If a cat is outdoors, they should be on a leash or directly supervised while in a secure enclosure. • Keep dogs leashed and directly supervised whenever they are outside, especially early in the morning and at night. • Installing 6-foot-high fencing with the bottom extending 1 foot underground provides the best protection for pets. If you have an existing fence, add a fence skirt that extends underground to prevent digging or roll bars to the top of the fence to prevent climbing. • Visually scan your yard for wildlife before letting your dog outside. • Illuminate your yard when your dog is outside when it’s dark. • Remove all possible food sources that could attract wildlife to your property, including bird feeders, unsecured trash, pet food, and open compost. • A bite from wildlife has the potential to spread disease, like rabies. Pets should be evaluated by a veterinarian if they are attacked by wildlife. It’s not unusual to be observed by a coyote when you are walking your dog. The coyote may be patrolling their territory and watching to ensure you leave their space.

One woman was treated at the Saugus Stadium for her injuries but wasn’t transported to the hospital, according to a press release issued by Saugus Police Chief Michael Ricciardelli’s office. “According to eyewitnesses, an argument erupted between a Salem and Saugus parent that turned physical,” the press release said. “When officers got there, those individuals involved in the fight quickly dispersed and no one was arrested. As for what started the fight, Saugus Police will not speculate but the game was canceled and games for the rest of the day have been canceled as well,” it said. Saugus police received an emergency 9-1-1 call shortly before 10 a.m. reporting that five to six adults were fighting at a Saugus Youth Football and Cheer game. “Fighting in the stands of a youth sporting event is as sad and pathetic as it gets,” Bob Byrnes wrote in a post on the league’s website this week. “…no matter how much older we get, we still can’t keep our emotions and egos under control,” Byrnes said. Meanwhile, the league’s website posted an apology, which said in part: “The actions that occurred today are not to the standards we set as a league. “Youth sports is a place for children to learn, gain confidence, and find a love for playing the game. It is in moments like this that we can reflect on our purpose as guardians and mentors and take the time to teach our children that the actions of today are not the norm and negatively affects everyone involved; most primarily the children. “I promise to continue to push our league to be better. Our standards will be upheld to the highest standard. Our team will look for ways to help improve the game day atmosphere, experience, and safety. “To the families and athletes of the Titans game, please talk to your children about right and wrong. Use the mistakes of others as a teaching moment. Tell them we are proud of their clean play and impeccable effort. And tell them we are sorry their fun was spoiled. “To the families of the teams whose games were canceled: Your athletes work hard all week and don’t deserve this disappointment. I will make every effort to get the games rescheduled with the league. You and your children deserve to play. I will do everything in my power to make up the games but will need time to address the NECYFC [N.E. Commonwealth Youth Football & Cheer] board in how we can accomplish this with field space and referees.” 8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 Open Tues. - Sat. at 4:00 PM Closed Sun. & Mon.

Saugus is one of many communities receiving pumpkins from the Navajo Reservation near Farmington, N.M., working with a program called Pumpkin Patch USA, which coordinates the destination of the pumpkins. The church and the Navajo Reservation both benefit from the pumpkins. The Pumpkin Patch tradition has become a very popular Autumn attraction to people passing through Saugus Center. The local Pumpkin Patch began in Saugus Center about two decades ago as a fundraiser for the church’s Youth Group and has continued to flourish as somewhat of a communitywide autumn attraction. Pumpkin sales have also helped fund the annual Danny Panico Memorial Scholarship Award Panico, a long-time church member and Pumpkin Patch worker, died in 2017, and the scholarship is meant to honor his contributions.

For Head Coach April Martinez, the result is particularly signifi cant, as she can’t recall the last time Saugus managed to avoid a loss to Danvers. The Sachems improved to 9-1-2 with the draw, same record as Danvers. That put the Sachems No. 7 in the Division 3 power rankings, behind Danvers (No. 5) and North Reading (No. 6). The defense played a critical role in keeping Danvers’ off ensive opportunities limited, showing its resilience and composure. Martinez credited everyone on the team for that eff ort. While the team did concede two goals, the Sachems’ defensive strength has been a theme throughout the season. “We’re not letting in a lot of goals, as you can see,” Martinez said. Against Danvers, Madison Botta and Shawn Sewell had the goals. Saugus has had some successful seasons over the past decade, but this result against Danvers just seems to cement the Sachems’ progress. Danvers is a powerhouse that has produced countless NEC titles and great postseason runs under 400-plus-win coach Jimmy Hinchion, and Saugus was right there with them all the way, even holding a solid 2-0 lead. They scored their goals in the second half after a scoreless fi rst half. If there was one thing Saugus would love to have back, it’s allowing a goal to Danvers super late in the second half. “It was an awesome game. The girls really wanted it,” Martinez said. “I told the girls you know you can play any team in the state. I said to them after the game I praised them for playing 110%. They played the best game of the season. They should be proud of themselves for not losing even though they gave up a 2-0 lead. Danvers was ranked No. 2 in the state. You played one of the top teams in the division, and you know you could have won.” However, the historic tie against Danvers has provided a morale boost for the Sachems, and Martinez believes her team can carry this momentum forward. With a solid defense and a focus on team unity, Saugus is positioning itself for a strong fi nish to the season. The upcoming matches will determine where they stand in both their division and in the overall power rankings heading into the playoff s. While Martinez is confident in her team’s abilities, she knows that every game from here on out will be crucial. “We’ll have to wait for the rest of our games to be played out to see where our power ranking ends up,” she said. As the season progresses, the Sachems will need to maintain their level of play to reach their goals. Saugus beat Gloucester, 7-1, the game before Danvers. Botta had a hat trick and two assists. Shawn Sewell had a goal and two assists, and sister Shay Sewell added a hat trick.

The Vikings, capitalizing on key special teams mistakes, built a 42-0 halftime lead, leaving Saugus scrambling for answers. With the loss, Saugus drops to 1-3 on the season, while Winthrop improves to 3-2. Playing without two of their biggest contributors, Cody Munafo and Ryan Shea, who were unavailable, the Sachems struggled to find rhythm early. However, Head Coach Steve Cummings saw glimmers of hope in the performances of several younger players who were thrust into larger roles due to the absences. “It’s tough when you go into a game missing those two guys,” Cummings said. “But we had some young guys that had an opportunity to step up, and at the end of the day, we were able to identify a couple of guys that can really help us as a football team moving forward.” Winthrop’s offense wasted no time asserting itself. Running back William Murphy exploded for a 57-yard touchdown run on the Vikings’ first possession, setting the tone for the night. He would add two more touchdowns in the first half, including a screen pass. By the end of the first quarter, Winthrop had a commanding 21-0 lead. Special teams errors from Saugus made it difficult for the Sachems to climb back into the game. A blocked punt and a mishandled snap on another punt gave Winthrop prime field position, leading to two more quick touchdowns, including a 1-yard run by Murphy to extend the lead to 42-0 at halftime. “One of the guys that was out this week was our long snapper, so we were filling in that position,” Cummings said. “I didn’t think the snaps were particularly bad, but we’ve got to protect better. We gave up a blocked punt SPORTS ROUNDUP | FROM PAGE 10 Gabriel DeSouza and Brianna Feldman on defense have been great lately, in addition to Mara Faiella, Gia Saunders and Alli Mabee.

And we misplayed a kickoff, which allowed them to score again and get the ball right back.” Despite the lopsided score at the half, Saugus showed some resilience in the second half. Running back Anthony DeAngelis broke through for a 7-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, putting the Sachems on the board. In the fourth quarter, sophomore tailback Pablo DeJesus added a 1-yard touchdown, capping off his impressive performance in a larger role. “Anthony played really well,” Cummings said. “He’s usually one of our also highlighted a recent match against Marblehead, praising both her team’s performance and the feedback from Marblehead’s coach. “I’ve never seen Saugus compete, be so organized, be together, and play together,” Marblehead’s coach told blocking backs, but with Cody not being available, he stepped up and ran the ball hard. Pablo was another guy who had an opportunity and really took advantage of it. He’s been doing well at the JV level, but he showed us something. He hit the holes, didn’t tiptoe, and put his head down to grind out some tough yards. He’s going to have an increased role with this football team moving forward.” Although the result was disappointing, Cummings emphasized the learning opportunities that a young team like Saugus can take from a game like this. “We’re a young football team, and we’re going to make some Niles. “It’s always nice hearing that and knowing that there’s positive feedback, especially the team getting to hear that.” Saugus made the tourney for the first time last year at 11-9. Reflecting on the progress made since she took over, young mistakes,” Cummings said. “When you have a lot of younger guys on the field than you expected to, those mistakes are going to show up. But in the long run, these are things that will help us get better. Guys will see the mistakes they made and learn how to get sharper. We’ve got to keep working.” Looking ahead, Saugus has little time to dwell on the loss, as it prepares to host Salem on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 6:30 p.m. The Witches are coming off a 3514 loss to Gloucester and stand at 2-2 on the season. They did go to the Super Bowl last season. Cummings knows his team Niles said, “It’s just a program in general, like everything: the girls, me, and the coaches, we’ve worked so hard for to make a name for Saugus. And it’s so nice having these players be the ones to advertise and show like we’re here, we’re here to compete.” will need to bounce back quickly and clean up their errors, especially on special teams. “Salem is a tough team,” Cummings said. “They went to the Super Bowl last year, and they’ve got a few guys who are just hard to deal with. They’re doing some of the same things they did last year, but they’ve got some different guys. They do a nice job of getting the ball to their playmakers in space, and they take shots when they need to. We’re going to have to be on our keys and play sound football in all three phases. When we do, we’re pretty good. When we don’t, things unravel fast, especially on special teams.” With several crucial matches left, Niles is optimistic about the team’s chances. “We got to get down to the nitty-gritty,” the coach said. “ ... But if any team’s got heart and drive to pull something out, it’s definitely this group I got right here.” ׉ 7cassandra://Luyx3Wne09i6VZ4_cNUYq8GYwElDZSSazDDSb02Iyw8+[`̰g,Lj.t g,Lj.t  PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://_YvbuncEt-6bOhXJN7Vol9vRotopES1YhGGXseuvYaM]`)׉ 7cassandra://hAQqzGDtZOWLWdLTCKXGJj4vBsKRzqR_I8TVCUkrOMc͒6`J׉ 7cassandra://qUF8OxSxiXduhmnTZhq0TJG7nzS7ncxlDE49GPPLYwc*`̰g,Pj.t ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://TvV_DYhyH-A6SrZIL1ItNboiHXeIUuu7VzHBnvRTAKQ``)׉ 7cassandra://EBM-L4XEQdx7chCrSRZG4OocmvgZz3ZDYBeGtJcReH4͜w`J׉ 7cassandra://yZ106DUI30NgHCWXR6DjzBHI_Xxt7A4KWh3qwF-8b4M,`̰g,Pj.t ׉EPage 12 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 11, 2024 The Sounds of Saugus By Mark E. Vogler Good morning, Saugus I lived in Florida for about seven years in the 1980s, working as a newspaper reporter and editor in several communities. I covered the news in places like Arcadia, Leesburg, Bushnell, Sanford, Winter Haven, Hollywood and Tallahassee. I did my share of weather reporting, especially in South Florida, where people always braced themselves for the hurricane season. And I’ve driven through pelting rain storms while worrying about tornadoes. But fortunately, when I was a Florida newsman I never had to worry about the kind of hurricanes that are devastating the Sunshine State now. As I’m writing this column, Hurricane Milton is already wreaking havoc on the Tampa Bay area, other parts of Florida’s west coast and the central part of the state – some places that have already been hammered by Hurricane Helene, which caused massive destruction and more than 200 deaths across the Southeastern United States late last month. I’m sure there are a few Saugus residents or people with Saugus connections who have or will be feeling the wrath of these two storms. Think of them in your to participate in the accident as fake accident victims who could file false claims later. In 2004, I was the lead reporter for an Eagle-Tribune investigative series titled “At Fault: Inside the Culture of Auto Insurance Fraud,” which sparked a grand jury investigation that led to the indictments and subsequent convictions of personal injury attorneys and chiropractors who had made millions of dollars off auto insurance fraud.

The “Chronicle” crew that came into the newsroom wasn’t interested in talking to any of the editors. Their reporter just wanted to interview me – on camera for less than a minute.

Butterflies and other pollinators are still visiting the flowers. Another insect that can help the gardener are the praying mantises, which are known for eating garden pests. There are many kinds of praying mantis, and while some are native to North America, European and Asian species have been released for biological insect control and have naturalized. All of them can be helpful by eating undesirable pest insects but have also been found to eat some beneficial insects and even small birds that we prefer they leave alone. Julia Aston’s garden near Saugus Center has many flowers still in bloom, and her front steps are sporting a delightful assortment of unusual pumpkins and squash for the season. The hydrangeas have put on quite a show, and now that the flowers are beginning to dry, they will have a second career as dried flowers in a vase. Julia has three varieties of hydrangea – Limelight (Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’), ‘Quickfire’ (Hydrangea paniculata ‘Quickfire’) and ‘Incrediball’ (Hydrangea arborescens ‘Incrediball’) – still blooming in her garden. ‘ Incrediball’ is a variety of smooth hydrangea, a very hardy North American native that produces white flowers in summer. Smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens) usually has lace cap flower clusters in the wild, a flat cluster with some fertile flowers surrounded by showy sterile flowers. Popular cultivars like ‘Incrediball’, ‘Annabelle’ and ‘Invincibelle’ have nearly spherical clusters of entirely sterile flowers. ‘Limelight’ and ‘Quickfire’ are both varieties of panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata), a species of Asian origin with somewhat cone-shaped flower clusters. ‘Limelight’ has sterile flowers that change from a pale green to white, while ‘Quickfire’ has both sterile and fertile flowers of varying tints of pink in each panicle; these hydrangea blossoms often dry right on the plant as fall progresses and can be left on the branches through the winter or removed – it is up to the gardener to decide which they prefer. New flower buds on panicle hydrangeas are formed in late spring, so they can be pruned in the winter without losing next summer’s flowers, unlike the bigleaf hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla), which forms its flower buds the summer before. In addition to hydrangeas, roses are still blooming in many gardens. Some varieties will continue flowering until frost or later, if attention is paid to removing faded flowThis praying mantis in Julia Aston’s garden waits on peony foliage for prey to come closer.

Some roses will bloom even after a frost or two – some years I have seen roses on shrubs in Saugus as late as mid-December. Last fall we had snow in early November, and I did not see any roses blooming after that. Joanie Allbee has two potted miniature red rose bushes currently flowering on the bistro table in the Peace Garden at 19 Talbot St. The original owner was throwing them out, but Joanie recognized potential: “Among the dead branches there were still specks of vibrant green in their stems” so she gave them a chance to thrive and put them out in the Peace Garden near the community room at 19 Talbot St. for all to enjoy. The Museum and Visitors Center at Saugus Iron Works are open through October 31, except for Mondays and Two miniature roses that were going to get thrown away get a second chance – thanks to Joanie Allbee – in the Peace Garden near the community room at 19 Talbot St. in Saugus.

The last tours will be given on that day as well, though the grounds will continue to be open. On the counter in the Visitor Center for the rest of this month you can meet “John Winthrop, Jr.,” a small pumpkin in a paper park ranger hat and wooden Junior Ranger badge, who looks like he could be a descendant of the 17th-century entrepreneur who began the ironmaking industry in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Don’t be too alarmed if you also glimpse a skeletal figure waving through the window next to the Visitor Center door.

Wayne’s weight loss watch For several years now, I’ve been keeping Saugus Advocate readers posted on my older brother Wayne’s weight loss gains and losses, as I thought it might be an inspiration to folks who strive to lose weight – but are too quick to throw in the towel. On Oct. 5, 2020, I felt frustrated and helpless as Wayne weighed in at 377 pounds during an examination at the Swansea offi ce of his longRON’S OIL Call For PRICE MELROSE, MA 02176 NEW CUSTOMER’S WELCOME ACCEPTING VISA, MASTERCARD & DISCOVER (781) 397-1930 OR (781) 662-8884 100 GALLON MINIMUM time primary care physician, Mark A. Ringiewicz. It was on that day that I made a personal request for the doctor’s help in dealing with Wayne’s weight problems, as he was just 23 pounds away from the 400 pound club. At that point, Dr. Ringiewicz made a referral that would change Wayne’s life dramatically. Dr. Jessica Inwood took Wayne on as a new patient at her Fall River office. She’s a specialist in weight management, nutrition and diet. She’s also a motivator who seems to succeed with a gentle approach in getting Wayne to focus on making better food choices while maintaining an exercise routine. Well, after four plus years, I’m happy to report that the program Wayne embarked on is defi nitely working. Wayne reports to both doctors three to four times a year. Once in a while, he gains fi ve or so pounds back. But, for the most part, he’s managed to maintain a gigantic weight loss. On Tuesday, his weight at Dr. Ringiewicz’s office was back to 259 pounds – a low that he had reached about a year ago. I told the doctor I was glad to see a fi ve pound loss instead of a gain. I asked what would be a realistic weight loss goal for February, Wayne’s next appointment. Dr. Ringiewicz said 250 would be good, or at least doable – which would average out to two and a quarter pounds per month for the next four months. Wayne told the good doctor he could do even better: drop down to 240. The doctor seemed amused at Wayne’s goal. But Wayne boasted he could do it. If he sets his mind to it, he probably can do it. Stay tuned for the results in early 2025. McDonald’s backs young athletes Yesterday (Oct. 10), the McDonald’s owner/operators at THE SOUNDS | SEE PAGE 15 Sa nir Sa a nior How SSI Benefi ts Can y Senior Seni by Jim Miller ior Help Struggling Seniors and the Disabled Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the SSI program and what are the eligibility requirements for seniors? I’m trying to help my elderly aunt who is very low-income. Searching Niece Dear Searching, The SSI program that you’re enquiring about, which stands for Supplemental Security Income, is a program administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that provides monthly cash benefi ts to people that are disabled or over 65 based on fi nancial need. Currently, around 7.5 million people are receiving SSI benefi ts, but many more are now eligible as the SSA recently expanded access benefits by tweaking some of the rules. Here’s what you should know. Eligibility Requirements To qualify for SSI your aunt must be either age 65 or older, blind or disabled, and must be a U.S. citizen or lawful resident. She must also have limited income and assets. Her income as an individual must generally be under $1,971 per monthly, or $2,915 for couples. Countable income includes wages or any other kind of money your aunt earned from working, plus money she gets from other sources like unemployment, Social Security retirement, or gifts from friends, but also, free shelter. And her assets must also be less than $2,000 or $3,000 for couples. This includes cash, bank accounts, other personal property, and anything else that could potentially be converted to cash. Her home, household goods and one vehicle, along with life insurance policies and burial funds valued under $1,500, do not count towards countable assets. In 2024, the maximum SSI payment is $943 a month for an individual or $1,415 a month for a couple. But, if eligible, the amount your aunt would receive may be lower based on her income, living situation and some other factors. To help you determine if your aunt is eligible for SSI, help her take the Social Security Administration’s benefi ts screening test at SSAbest. benefi ts.gov. This online questionnaire takes approximately 5 minutes to complete and screens for a variety of benefi ts, not just SSI. You should also know that most states – except Arizona, Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, Tennessee and West Virginia – supplement the federal SSI payment with payments of their own. In some of the states that pay a supplement, your aunt may qualify for the state payment even if she doesn’t meet the federal SSI eligibility criteria. How to Apply If you think that your aunt is eligible for SSI, she (or you) can begin the application process and complete a large part of it online at SSA.gov/apply/ssi. If she’s disabled, she can apply for both SSI and Social Security Disability at SSA.gov/ disability. Or, if she can’t apply online, call 800-772-1213 and set up an appointment with her local Social Security offi ce. To help make the application process go quickly and smoothly, your aunt will need her Social Security number; birth certifi cate or other proof of age; information about the home where she lives, such as her mortgage, or lease and the landlord’s name; payroll slips, bank books, insurance policies, burial fund records and other information about her income and the things she owns; her proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen status; and if she is applying for SSI because she is disabled or blind, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of doctors, hospitals and clinics that have information related to her condition. For more information visit SSA. gov/ssi or see Social Security’s online SSI publication at SSA.gov/ pubs/EN-05-11000.pdf. Other Assistance Programs Depending on your aunt’s income, there are other fi nancial assistance programs that may be able to help her like Medicare Savings Programs, prescription drug assistance, food stamps and energy assistance. To locate these programs, and learn how to apply for them, go to Benefi tsCheckUp.org. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

From 3-9 p.m., 20 percent of all app sales were donated to local youth sports programs. • The McDonald’s at 738 Broadway, Saugus, made a donation benefitting Saugus High School Girls Basketball • The McDonald’s at 127 Broadway, Saugus, made a donation benefitting Lynnfield Middle and High School Athletic Dept. This event was part of a larger New England initiative, with more than 130 McDonald’s restaurants participating across the region. However, the funds raised in Saugus will directly benefit local young athletes. “We are a local brand at heart, and our commitment goes beyond providing great food to the communities we serve. All McDonald’s in New England are locally owned and operated by families or business owners who take great pride in their communities,” said Sara Amato, New England McDonald’s Owner/ Operator, who also oversees the McDonald’s app engagement for the region. “Sports play a pivotal role in youth development and teach life-long skills like teamwork, discipline and perseverance. We’re so excited about this program as it allows us to rally together and make an impact on the lives of young athletes in our neighborhoods where we live and operate in.” Trivia Night Oct. 17 The Saugus Business Education Collaborative (SBEC) is gearing up for the 12th Annual Trivia “Travaganza,” which is set for Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at Kowloon Restaurant.

CASEY O’BRIEN REGISTER OF PROBATE October 11, 2024 IRS OFFER IN COMPROMISE SCAMS T he Internal Revenue Service has recently warned of scam artists claiming that their services are necessary in order to resolve outstanding federal income tax issues. Often times, these “mills” charge excessive fees many times with no results. These mills will often make false statements of their ability to settle IRS debts for pennies on the dollar. They will also make the claim that there is not much time provided to the taxpayer in order to compromise the debt with the IRS. The Offer in Compromise (OIC) program is a legitimate program offered by the IRS. A taxpayer will need to meet all of the requirements in order to be able to settle with the IRS for a reduced amount of federal income taxes owed. IRS Form 656, Offer in Compromise, needs to be completed and submitted to the IRS. In addition, Form 433-A, Collection Information Statement for Individuals and Form 433building, at North Shore Bank (Route 1 South) and at Rossetti Insurance. Spectators are welcome to cheer on the teams for only $25 per person. The price includes an all-you-can-eat buffet. Please make checks payable to SBEC.

The IRS has an Offer In Compromise Pre-Qualifier Tool that you can use in order to determine if you might initially qualify for a reduction in your tax liability. You can also apply for a B, Collection Information for Businesses (if applicable) would also have to be submitted to the IRS. The OIC program is not an easy program to quality for. The IRS will review your income and assets in order to determine your ability to pay. If a taxpayer was unemployed with very little assets, that individual would be a good candidate to submit offer in compromise paperwork to the IRS. You can learn more about the Offer In Compromise program by visiting www. payment plan on the irs.gov website. For taxpayers that owe less than $100,000, a short-term payment plan will provide the taxpayer with an extra 180 days to pay the tax in full. For taxpayers that owe less than $50,000, a longterm payment plan will provide the taxpayer the opportunity to make monthly payments over a period of up to 72 months. So be careful with these companies that promise you the world. I’ve seen instances where more money gets paid to these companies than gets paid to the IRS in order to reduce the amount of taxes owed.

He’s a retired school teacher. Reinstein cited Biddeford as an example of resilience at work when the old mill buildings closed down. “What do you do when the mills and the jobs leave?” Reinstein asked. “Those mill buildings were not meant to be torn down. They last forever,” he said. Old mill towns like Haverhill, Mass., and Biddeford have valuable buildings that can be converted into condos and apartments long after the mills have closed, he said. Reinstein shared another We follow Social Distancing Guidelines! inspiring story – about the people of East Corinth, Vermont – a community that’s been mired in poverty – who made their community “one of the six places in America where you have a nonprofit ski area. And the price of skiing – a very expensive sport – was reasonable for Reinstein when he visited there: six bucks for a burger and $10.50 for his ski ticket.

Please send resume and letter of interest to: susanjmacneil@yahoo.com a compelling story about strength, courage and triumph over addiction when he recalled his interview with Larsen Ojala of New Hampshire. “He told me ‘At 21, I couldn’t make it up a flight of stairs,’” Reinstein recalled of the man whose childhood was consumed by alcohol and later drug abuse. But eventually Ojala got the rehab he needed to turn around his life. Six years later, at age 27, he broke the Mount Monadnock summit record by doing 17 laps in 24 hours. Near the end of his talk, Reinstein outlined his favorite – “The Good Night Lights” Phenomenon in Providence, R.I. That story focused on the nightly occurrence of lights flashing off in the city to help bring joy to cancer victims at Hasbro Children’s Hospital. Clean-Outs!
