Thomas R. Whittredge had

Voters donâ€™t have much choice â€“ yet
Only 11 candidates have pulled nomination papers for 10 top elective
offices in town government with deadline set for 5 p.m. today
By Mark E. Vogler
T
wo years ago the town
elections featured a pair of
hotly contested races: a dozen
candidates running for the five
Board of Selectmen seats and
10 other candidates aspiring
to be among the five School
Committee members elected.
But on Wednesday (Sept. 8), it
looked like the election ballot
wonâ€™t be offering voters much
of a choice for the two townwide
contests in the November
town election.
â€œThe 5 Incumbents of the
School Committee as of today
are the only people that pulled
nomination papers,â€ Town
Clerk Ellen J. Schena wrote in
an email to The Saugus Advocate
on Wednesday. Nobody
else had expressed an interest
in running against School
Committee Chair Thomas R.
Whittredge, Vice-Chair Ryan
P. Fisher and Members Joseph
â€œDennisâ€ Gould, Arthur
Grabowski and John S. Hatch.
There is slightly more interest
in the Board of Selectmen
race, but no new candidates
had emerged this week by
press deadline. As was the case
last week, only six candidates
had pulled nomination papers
for selectman. They are Board
of Selectmen Chair Anthony
W. Cogliano Sr., Vice-Chair
Corinne R. Riley, Selectmen Michael
J. Serino and Debra C. Panetta
and challengers Domenic
Montano and Darren R. McCullough.
Montano is a Saugus
police officer who ran for
selectman two years ago. McCullough
is the animal control
officer, an appointment he received
from the selectmen.
But Schena noted that
thereâ€™s still time â€“ though not
much time â€“ for the field of
candidates to get much more
crowded. â€œFriday SeptemPhoto

ber 10th is the last day to pull
nomination papers. The Town
Clerkâ€™s Office will be open until
5 p.m.,â€ the town clerk said
in her email to the paper.
But the candidates who wait
until the last minute to pick
up their nomination papers
will be scrambling over the
weekend to gain enough signatures
to get their names on
the Nov. 2 election ballot. Next
Tuesday (Sept. 14) at 5 p.m. is

Itâ€™s Back to School
New year greats Saugus Public Schools with a new Belmonte
STEAM Academy to replace three elementary schools. Students
discuss consolidation; parents unhappy about traffic
By Tara Vocino
S
tudents across the district
went back to school
on Wednesday. Children and
parents had mixed emotions
about the consolidation of
the three elementary schools
â€“ Douglas Waybright, Veterans
Memorial Elementary School
and Lynnhurst Elementary
School â€“ consolidating into
one building: the Belmonte
STEAM Academy on Dow
Street. Meanwhile, many parents
got frustrated after being
snarled in traffic during dropoff
and pickup times at the
new and improved Belmonte.
But the townâ€™s top education
officials are touting the new
school as a key component
to turning around the townâ€™s
education system. The former
Belmonte Middle School underwent
extensive remodeling
for the new Belmonte STEAM
Academy, which will provide
a focused curriculum around
the areas of science, technology,
engineering, art and
mathematics. In time, officials
hope that the school will provide
the important groundwork
for achieving new Superintendent
Erin McMahonâ€™s
goal of achieving academic
excellence at the Saugus Middle-High
School (SMHS) levels.
She said itâ€™s her goal to
see the Saugus Middle/High
School in the Top 10 percent
of state high schools as measured
by both math and reading
on MCAS in the 10th grade.
Student passion is already
surging in the new building.
Second grader Emma Le,
who came from Lynnhurst Elementary
School, said the repurposed
building, including
the library and art center, is
beautiful. â€œIâ€™m excited to make
new friends,â€ Emma said.
Her mother, Stephanie, said
itâ€™s bittersweet to not see
teachers and peers with whom
she is familiar. â€œHowever, in the
long run, I think itâ€™s better for
them,â€ Le said. â€œI think itâ€™ll result
in a more cohesive adjustment
from middle to high school.â€
Third-grader Cole Gosselin,
8, was happy to return to
Belmonte since he was on
Zoom most of last year due to
COVID-19. Students at the Veterans
Memorial Elementary
School were at Belmonte for a
portion of last academic year.
â€œIâ€™m excited to see my teachers
and friends in person,â€ Cole
said. â€œI like the change.â€
Pictured from left to right: Fourth grade teachers Marissa
Huntington, Tara Godfried and Kate Coss, 5th grade teacher
Catherine Cancelliere, special education teacher Angela Pettee
and physical education teacher Anthony Callahan were ready to
go before 7 a.m. on Wednesday. Students across the district went
back to school on Wednesday.
Proud mother Aja; Hunter, 8th grade; Teaghan, 6th grade; Cadin
Arsenault, 2nd grade; and grandmother Cheryll Ross
His grandmother, Barbara
Powers, said the change
was inevitable since neighboring
communities are also
consolidating their elementary
schools. â€œI like the smaller
schools, because theyâ€™re more
personable,â€ Powers said. â€œI
guess itâ€™s more cost-effective
to stay in one building.â€
School traffic
The district announced new
start times for this academic
year: SMHS begins at 7:50 a.m.
and ends at 2:15 p.m.; Belmonte
STEAM Academy begins at
8:05 a.m. and ends at 2:05 p.m.
and Veterans Early Learning
Center opens at 8:30 a.m. and
ends at 2:30 p.m.
Traffic was backed up as early
as 7 a.m. as parents suddenly
had to navigate to a new
building with hundreds of students.
Described as organized
chaos, parents said it will likely
get better as they adjust to
the new format. However, at
the moment, there was a lot
of tooting of horns and frustration
as Dow Street was made
into a one-way during dropoff
hours.
Parent Alicia Stoddard said
it took her 20 minutes to get
home from Belmonte STEAM

Selectmen finally agree to a permit modification that
will enable a proposed UPS Terminal to get extra hours
By Mark E. Vogler
R
epresentatives of a company
seeking to develop
a former dump site on Route
107 in East Saugus to build
a sorting facility that would
be rented to UPS are so confident
there wonâ€™t be any violations
of its S-2 permit that
they agreed to pay the townâ€™s
legal fees if it has to file a lawsuit
in the future. That was
one of seven new conditions
that Hilco Redevelopment
Partners (HRP) agreed
to include in order to get the
Board of Selectmen to approve
a modification for its
Special (S-2) Permit during a
90-minute discussion at Tuesday
(Sept. 7) nightâ€™s Board of
Selectmen meeting.
â€œI feel the town is protected
very well,â€ Board of Selectmen
Vice-Chair Corinne Riley
said. â€œI think we have a lot of
teeth,â€ added Riley, who had
suggested the legal fees be
included as additional protection
for the town.
But even before that and
other new conditions were
added, Town Counsel John
Vasapolli advised the town
that they had adequate protection
through enforcement
of the townâ€™s Zoning bylaws
as it relates to the S-2 permit.
â€œYou do have strong enforcement
power there,â€ Vasapolli
said.
â€œI think the strongest weapon
here is the zoning bylaw,â€
he said.
Selectmen voted 4-1 to
grant the modification of
HRP Saugus LLCâ€™s S-2 permit
that would allow UPS to operate
between the hours of 2
to 6 a.m. Selectmen had approved
HRPâ€™s initial request
for an S-2 permit by a 4-1
vote about 20 months ago.
Only Selectman Michael Serino
opposed the request after
expressing concerns that
allowing a motor freight terminal
at the Salem Turnpike
property would contribute
to traffic woes and related
problems for residents who
live nearby. He warned of a
potential spillover of heavy
truck traffic onto Ballard
Street and other connected
roads â€“ instead of the traffic
being limited to Route 107.
Andrew Chused, managing
partner of HRP, told the board
in July that UPS had emerged
with a promising project that
is better than what the board
initially expected. Chused
told selectmen the size of the
125,000 square foot building
has been downsized to
87,000 square feet. He said
it will produce 208 new jobs
and the property that currently
generates $110,000
in taxes to the town would
generate â€˜well over $300,000
â€“ $7 million over the next 20
years.
He told the board that
UPS is interested in leasing
the new building, but
it requests the four additional
hours of operation
so that it can receive packages
and load trucks with
packages before they take
to the streets during normal
business hours. Without
the hours, Chused said, UPS
would probably back out of
the deal.
Yet, Serino continued to
raise doubts about the lack of
protection for the town in the
future. He was the lone opponent
during Tuesday nightâ€™s
meeting. Serinio asked if HRP
would be willing to reduce
the size of the building allowed
by the permit modification
to 87,000 square feet.
Chused said the company
would be willing to drop it
down to 100,000 square feet.
â€œFrom Hilcoâ€™s perspective
and the townâ€™s perspective,
weâ€™ve hit the jackpot with
UPS,â€ Chused told selectmen.
â€œUPS is committed to
the property somewhere
between 20 to 40 years...We
want to get going [on the
project].â€
But Serino still opposed the
project, requesting to continue
the hearing until the town
prepared a formal document.
â€œIâ€™d like to see the agreement
in writing,â€ Serino said.
â€œI donâ€™t do business like this,â€
he said, before casting the
lone opposition vote.
Board of Selectmen Chair
Anthony Cogliano said he
couldnâ€™t understand why it
was taking so much more
time to approve the modification
than the original request
for the S-2 permit. â€œIâ€™m
perplexed as to why thereâ€™s
an impasse here,â€ Cogliano
said, noting that the concerns
were over only four
tractor trailer trucks hauling
packages from Logan Airport
to the future UPS sorting
facility. â€œWeâ€™ve already approved
a permit for hundreds
of trucks [to operate during
the hours of 6 to 2 a.m.]â€
â€œI hope we vote the affirmative
because this is a homerun
for both the citizens and
the Town of Saugus,â€ Selectman
Jeff Cicolini said. He noted
the 20-year lease that UPS
was prepared to sign.
â€œI think weâ€™ve given a lot of
protection to the residents,â€
he said.
Attorney Michael Scott,
representing HRP, briefed selectmen
on the specific conditions,
which categorically
state that UPS truck traffic
can only use Route 107 upon
entering and exiting the facility.
The agreement prohibits
any use of Ballard Street
while requiring signage that
prohibits any UPS truck traffic
on Ballard Street between
2 and 6 a.m. HRP must also instruct
its tenant to program
its GPS on trucks for non-direct
access to Ballard Street.
The company must also post
a camera in a location that
overlooks Ballard Street in
30-day increments.
â€œI think 28 is enough,â€ Cogliano
said of the number of
conditions. â€œThis is a major
homerun for the neighborhood,â€
he said.
Precinct 10 Town Meeting
Members Peter Manoogian
and Martin Costello continued
to express concerns.
â€œThere have been many broken
promises in East Saugus,â€
Manoogian said. He suggested
adding extra protection
by drafting a bylaw for Town
Meeting that would allow for
a six-month or year-review of
the applicantâ€™s permit similar
to the regulations adopted
several years ago for the
Aggregate Industries Saugus
Quarry.
â€œIt gives the neighbors a
level of protection beyond
what they have now,â€ Manoogian
said.
But Cicolini, who reviewed
Manoogianâ€™s proposal, said
he didnâ€™t think it was necessary
â€“ and not worth holding
up â€œa homerunâ€ type project
to go through Town Meeting.
Certainly, the company
wouldnâ€™t want to add to their
delays in getting the modification,
Cicolini said.
Costello said he is concerned
about HRP â€œcoming
in here at the 12th hour with
the modificationâ€ request.
He also wanted to make sure
that East Saugus residents
are protected by the agreement.
Veteran
Selectman Debra
Panetta supported the project
as something that would
be good for the community:
â€œMy only concern â€“ I donâ€™t
think we have enough enforcement
in our town.â€
Town Meeting Member Joe
Vecchione of Precinct 2 said
it shouldnâ€™t matter whether
officials lack confidence
in enforcement of local zoning
laws. â€œI strongly believe
we should not be penalizing
businesses from coming
to town because of enforcement
issues,â€ he said.

Saugus remembers its â€œ9/11â€
victims on 20th anniversary
By Mark E. Vogler
A
small group of town leaders
and citizens will gather
for a low-key observance at the
townâ€™s Central Fire Station at
8:46 a.m. tomorrow (Saturday,
Sept. 11) â€“ the same time that
fire departments across the nation
will mark the significance
of a sad day in American history.
It was that time 20 years ago
that American Airlines Flight 11
â€“ one of four commercial airliners
hijacked that day â€“ became
the first to hit its target, crashing
into the World Trade Center
complex in Lower Manhattan.
A monument on the Hamilton
Street side of Saugus Town
Hall forever links the community
to the national tragedy of
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks
which claimed close to
3,000 lives. Two former Saugus
residents were among the victims
who were killed 20 years
ago tomorrow in the event also
known as 9/11. The monument
â€“ inscribed with the date and
â€œGod Bless Americaâ€ â€“ pays tribute
to Gertrude â€œTrudiâ€ Alagero
and David DiMeglio, who
were among the victims in New
York City during the terrorist attack
on the World Trade Center
Towers.
KILLED AT THE WORLD TRADE
CENTER: Gertrude M. â€œTrudiâ€ Alagero,
37, a 1982 Saugus High
School graduate, was a senior
vice president and practice
leader for Marsh Private
Client Services, a division of
Marsh & McLennan. Alagero
was working out of an office
on the 94th floor of the north
tower at World Trade Center
(also known as Tower 1). At
8:46 a.m. on Sept. 11, hijackers
crashed American Airlines
Flight 11 into the northern facade
of the North Tower. Marsh
& McLennan had more than
800 people working on floors
93 through 100 â€“ the part of
the building that was in the
flight path of the first hijacked
airliner to crash into the World
Trade Center Towers. More than
350 Marsh & McLennan workers
â€“ including Alagero â€“ perished
in the attack.
KILLED IN PLANE CRASH: David
DiMeglio, a former Saugus
resident, then 22, was living in
Wakefield and was among the
81 passengers on American
Flight 11 that was commandeered
by five al-Qaida terrorists
and flown into the World
Trade Centerâ€™s north tower
shortly before 9 a.m. on Sept.
11. He was headed west to help
his mother move. He had completed
computer school and
David DiMeglio
had planned to start a business
in computer services.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE â€“ FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2021
Mr. Ranger
A
By The Old Sachem,
Bill Stewart
nother of the great hockey
players whom I watched
and appreciated has passed:
Rodrigue Gabriel Gilbert; his
last name was pronounced
as jilbear. Rod Gilbert was a
New York Ranger for his entire
career, starting during the
1960-61 season and ending in
1977-78 when a contract dispute
with the Rangers General
Manager, John Ferguson,
ended his career. Before Gilbert
hockey was a secondary
sport to New Yorkers, but the
kid â€“ who knew very little English
and spoke French well â€“
brought the game to fans.
Rod was born in Montreal,
Quebec, Canada, on July 1,
1941, and died in New York City
on August 19, 2021. He was a
right wing on what was known
as the GAG Line (Goal-a-Game
Line), along with Vic Hadfield
and Jean Ratelle. Rod was the
first Ranger in the history of
the team to have his number
retired, and he was inducted
into the Hockey Hall of Fame
in 1982. Upon retiring he was
promoted to President of the
Rangers alumni association.
Coming from Montreal he
grew up as a Canadiens fan,
and he played three seasons
for the Guelph Biltmore Mad
Hatters of the Ontario Hockey
Association from 1957 to
1960. In his last season with
Guelph, Gilbert slipped on the
ice of some garbage that was
thrown on the ice by a spectator.
Rod broke a vertebra in
his back that temporarily paraLaw

lyzed him. He went into corrective
surgery, which led to hemorrhaging
in his leg, and amputation
was considered by doctors
as a last resort, but Gilbert
refused amputation and finally
recovered.
In his three seasons with the
Mad Hatters, Rod scored 80
goals and 100 assists in 133
games. He was upped to the
Trois-RiviÃ¨res Lions for three
games where he had four goals
and six assists, next to the
Guelph Royals in 1960, scoring
54 goals and 49 assists in 47
games, and that was enough
to jump up to the Rangers in
1961. He spent time with the
Rangers in 1961-62, playing
one game each year. During
1962 he was dropped to the
Kitchener-Waterloo Beavers,
scoring 12 goals and 11 assists
in 21 games.
Gilbert quickly became a star
to the fans of the Rangers in
the 1962-63 season when he
scored 11 goals and 20 assists
in 70 games. In his first full season
with the Rangers, 1963-64,
he had 24 goals and 40 assists
in 70 games. In his worst New
York season, 1965-66, he only
notched 10 goals and 15 assists
in 34 games. Most seasons
he had high twenties to high
thirties, and his best season
was 1971-72 when he scored
43 goals and 54 assists in 76
games. During his 19 years
with the Rangers, he had 406
goals and 615 assists in 1,065
games.
Gilbert also had two seasons
with Team Canada in International
competition, in 1972
scoring a goal and three assists
in six games, and in the 1977
World Cup he scored two goals
and two assists in nine games.
Gilbert opened his own
restaurant on Third Avenue
near 75th Street in Manhattan.
He then went to Wall Street
with the Fundamental Brokers,
where he assisted in opening
a branch in his hometown of
Montreal. Rod returned to the
Rangers organization in 1989
as director of special projects
and community relations. He
started doing appearances for
the Garden of Dreams Foundation,
an outreach program
working with children in the
community.
He married Judith Christy in
1991, and the ceremony was
conducted by the Mayor of
New York at the time, David
Dinkins. They raised four children.
In 1979 artist Andy Warhol
completed the Athlete
Series of paintings featuring
prominent sports stars of the
70s; Gilbert was one of only
10 selected, who included O.J.
Simpson, Chris Evert and PelÃ©.
Among his Ranger records
are team record for career
goals, 406; team record for career
points, 1,021; and team
record for consecutive games
with an assist by a forward, 10;
and he shares the team record
for assists in a single game, five,
three times. Among Gilbertâ€™s
awards: NHL Second All-Star
team, 1968; NHL First All-Star
team, 1972; the Bill Masterson
Trophy, 1976; the Lester Patrick
Trophy, 1991; played in the
NHL All-Star game eight times;
inducted into the Hockey Hall
of Fame in 1982; had his number
7 retired as the first Ranger
to have their number retired;
and he was awarded the Ellis
Island Medal of Honor in May
2010 for recognition of his humanitarian
efforts. Gilbert is
on the list of NHL players who
played at least 1,000 games
and the list of players who
scored at least 1,000 points.
Those of us lucky enough
to have seen Rod Gilbert play
against the Bruins in the 60s
and 70s remember an outstanding
player, a great scorer
and a gentleman who only
racked up 510 penalty minutes
over the 16 seasons. I
will remember the hero from
Montreal as long as I see NHL
hockey.

THE SOUNDS OF SAUGUS
By Mark E. Vogler
H
ere are a few tidbits that you might want to know about this
week in Saugus.
Happy Founders Day, Saugus!
The good news is that town residents will get to enjoy the biggest
social community event of the year â€“ Founders Day â€“ tomorrow
(Saturday, Sept. 11) after being canceled last year over
health concerns generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The bad
news is that what will be the 40th Annual Saugus Founders Day
will be missing its signature event â€“ the awarding of â€œPersons of
the Yearâ€ to two deserving people who have dedicated themselves
to the betterment of Saugus â€“ a man and woman selected
by past award recipients.
Blame it on concerns about COVID-19 or blame it on the absence
of Donna Gould â€“ who has been the heart and soul of
the event for many years. Friends say her health kept her from
continuing her organizational/advisory role. But the show will
still go on.
â€œThe Town of Saugus is excited to announce this yearâ€™s Annual
Founderâ€™s Day Celebration,â€ Saugus Youth & Recreation Center
Program Director Crystal Cakounes said recently.
â€œThe event will take place from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday,
September 11, 2021. Booths will begin in front of Town Hall
and continue down Central Street. This is a wonderful Town
tradition, and we are looking forward to celebrating again this
year,â€ she said.
Even in its limited capacity, it remains â€œa wonderful Town tradition.â€
â€œSo
much to do,â€ veteran Selectman Debra Panetta said at
Tuesday (Sept. 7) nightâ€™s Board of Selectmenâ€™s meeting. â€œCome
out and see your neighbors!â€
Besides getting out and enjoying the nice weather forecast
for tomorrow, Saugus residents and former residents will get a
chance to contribute to fundraisers being conducted by a number
of local nonprofi t groups â€“ particularly by students in Saugus
Public Schools. There will be fundraising tables and tables
sponsored by various organizations lining Central Street from
Town Hall all the way up toward the Saugus Iron Works National
Historic Site. And there will be some good food and snacks
served up by these groups.
Founders Day has been one of my most favorite events to cover
since I took over as editor of The Saugus Advocate fi ve and
a half years ago. And I will be looking forward to being there
again tomorrow.
The event in the past resonates with great community pride.
And this year it coincides with the observance of the 20th anniversary
of 9/11 â€“ the terrorist attacks on the New York City
World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon.
â€œCome visit our booth at Founders Day,â€ says retired U.S. Navy
Capt. Stephen L. Castinetti, who has been the longtime commander
of the Saugus Veterans Council. â€œThere will be a tribute
to 9/11, a raffl e for lottery tickets, military challenge coins, fl ag
patches, pins and MREs for sale. And much more.â€
SaugusTV sets Open House
date
Founders Day will be extra
special for the staff of SaugusTV.
The townâ€™s cable television
organization gets to show
off its brand-new studio with
â€œan Open Houseâ€ set for 11 a.m.
to 2 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday,
Sept. 11).
Saugus residents, businesses
and organizations are invited
to check out SaugusTVâ€™s new
quarters at 30 Main St. â€“ in the
renovated Saugus Historical Society
building. Itâ€™s a chance for
everyone to come and see the
new facility and meet and talk
to the SaugusTV staff and other
members who make regular
use of the studio. Light refreshments
will be served.
Due to previous commitments
by board members, the
Saugus Historical Society will
not have a table on the Town
Hall lawn tomorrow nor will it
have its section of the house
open to the public on that day.

couple of important dates that

COVID Memorial next
weekend
A flyer titled â€œCovid Memorialâ€
has been circulating recently,
letting folks know about a very
productive upcoming community-wide
event involving a noble
cause. â€œRemembering those
we have lost. Honoring those
who have served this community,â€
says the flyer crafted by Rev.
John Beach of St. Johnâ€™s Episcopal
Church here in Saugus â€“
with the help of many leaders
of the Saugus Faith Community.
Itâ€™s about the special candlelight
vigil set for Sunday, Sept.
19 at 7 p.m. in front of Saugus
Town Hall.
â€œIn the 18 months since Covid
has hit our nation, over 400 residents
of Saugus have died.
Many have had no funeral or
public ritual to celebrate their
lives and to mourn their death,â€
the flyer continues. â€œDuring this
time, hundreds of our residents
have provided essential services
to ensure our safety and
well-being. Many have done this
to the detriment of their own
health. We would like to publicly
honor their dedication. The residents
of this town are all invited
to this commemoration. Let us
remind each other that we are
not alone.â€
The flyer also contains a special
quote from Comedian Johnny
Corn: â€œWe have a chance to
do something extraordinary.
As we head out of this pandemic,
we can change the world.
Create a world of love. A world
where we are kind to each other.
A world where we are kind no
matter what class, race, sexual
orientation, what religion or lack
of or what job we have. A world
where we donâ€™t judge those at
the food bank because that may
be us if things were just slightly
different. Let love and kindness
be our roadmap.â€
Meanwhile, Board of Selectmen
Vice-Chair Corinne Riley
continues organizing from
the town side on the idea for
the event she proposed many
months ago. â€œWith the cooperation
of my fellow Board of Selectmen
and the Town Manager,
I worked mostly with the Clergy
Association of Saugus. Many
have been in attendance at our
meetings,â€ Riley said this week.
Sheâ€™s been helping to organize
plans to honor people from
a cross section of citizens who
performed admirably during
the pandemic. They include police,
fire/EMTs, health workers,
the local funeral director, teachers/educational
staff, food bank
volunteers and businesses, people
from the Saugus Senior Center,
truck drivers, grocery workers,
pharmacies, news outlets
and clergy. â€œMany of these are
nonessential people who became
very essential,â€ Riley said
in an interview.
And, of course, Riley has been
reaching out to Saugus families
to contribute the names of
loved ones who are among the
400 Saugus residents who died
during the pandemic (since
March of last year) whether
COVID-19 was the reason or not.
If you lost a loved one during the
COVID-19 pandemic and would
like their name mentioned at
the vigil, please send their name
along to Saugusremembers@
gmail.com. â€œAs of today, through
the Saugus Remembers email
address, we have received 24
names of those lost during the
pandemic. I do not know which
may have died from the disease,
through the last Friday in May
of 2022. The buffet breakfast is
served at 8:00 a.m. for a donation
of $7.
We have a winner!
Congratulations to Shirley
Bogdan for getting her name
drawn from the green Boston
Red Sox hat as the winner
of last weekâ€™s â€œGuess Who Got
Sketchedâ€ contest. She was one
of several who answered correctly.
Hereâ€™s the answer, offered
by the person who goes by the
name of The Sketch Artist:
â€œThe answer to Last weekâ€™s
Sketch is Charles and Martha
Varney. Martha goes by â€œSisâ€ to
all who know her .
â€œCharles is a Veteran and Graduated
Essex Agricultural School
in 1957. He and Sis have been
married for 62-plus years, and
to see these two on the dance
floor you would think they were
Newly Weds!
â€œCharles being an agriculturist
is an excellent farmer who reaps
GUESS WHO GOT SKETCHED! In this weekâ€™s edition, we continue
our weekly feature where a local artist sketches people, places
and things in Saugus. Got an idea who was sketched this week? If
you do, please email me at mvoge@comcast.net or leave a phone
message at 978-683-7773. Anyone who correctly identifies the
Saugonian being sketched between now and Tuesday at noon
qualifies to have their name put in a green Boston Red Sox hat
with a chance to be selected as the winner of a $10 gift certificate,
compliments of Dunkinâ€™ at the 1204 Broadway Saugus location on
Route 1 North. But you have to enter to win! Look for the winner
and identification in next weekâ€™s â€œThe Sounds of Saugus.â€ Please
leave your mailing address in case you are a winner. (Courtesy

name of â€œThe Sketch Artistâ€)
or from other causes,â€ Riley said.
â€œThe names that are read
could be any reason for their
death during the pandemic. The
people who send the names
may or may not say how their
loved ones passed. We are just
mentioning names, not cause,â€
she said. â€œI hope that many people
will come out to support
these families and friends who
had loved ones who passed on
during this time. As much as this
will be a memorial, it will equally
be a recognition of those who
were there to support all of us
who were in need during such
a vulnerable time.â€
Elected officials have been invited,
but not all have responded
yet. Also, the list of people to
be acknowledged have been invited
as well. The Saugus High
School Sachimes will be on the
program, according to Riley.
â€œWe are hoping for a large
turnout of our residents to remember
those who passed, as
well as to acknowledge those
who were there for all of us in
one way or another,â€ she said.
â€œAnyone who plans to attend
that may feel more comfortable
in wearing a mask, or to practice
social distancing, I urge them
to do so. I also encourage people
to check with the Health Departmentâ€™s
guidelines.â€

emailed Lorna several times
over the past few months with
recycling questions and she has
always responded very quickly
with an answer to my questions.
Itâ€™s a pleasure dealing with
someone like Lorna.â€
â€¢ Two kindergarten teachers
at the Veterans Early Learning
Center, by Jeanie Bartolo: â€œThis
Shout Out goes to two Kindergarten
teachers at the Veterans
Memorial School: Ms. Panopoulos
and Ms. Moriello who I had
the pleasure to meet today at
Orientation. It was a great privilege
to accompany my fi ve-year
old nephew, Liam Walton, and
his mum Wilma to Liamâ€™s First
Day of Kindergarten!
â€œYou could see that both of
these teachers absolutely love
teaching. The scavenger hunt
they planned got all the children
involved. I was in awe at
how they were able to bring all
20 children together. They truly
did a great job. I am so happy
that my Liam is in such wonderful
hands. Teaching is a gift
and these wonderful women
have that gift.â€
â€¢ The new owners of the J&M,
Laura and Tom, by Joanie Allbee:
â€œThrough a window of the J
& M Italian American restaurant
at 340 Central Street, the restaurant
owner Tom saw a wallet
bag drop from a manâ€™s motorized
chair/cart in the street .
He recognized the man as being
his customer several previous
times, and he ran out and
picked up the wallet and called
the man who dropped it. He
didnâ€™t hear, so then Tom called
the walletâ€™s owner on the phone
several times and when Tom got
no answer, he stopped working
and drove over to the wallet
ownerâ€™s residence to return
the manâ€™s bag/wallet.
â€œThe wallet owner was very
grateful and amazed as well as
many people who heard the
story of what Tom did! These
restaurant folks deserve a shout
out! Wow, you two really provide
customer service and shine
out there! And Laura has such a
positive attitude! Thank You. Sincerely,
Joanie Allbee.â€

SAUGUS GARDENS IN THE SUMMER
Hereâ€™s whatâ€™s blooming in town this week
to make your walks more enjoyable
By Laura Eisener
A
s we contemplate the
20th anniversary of September
11, many people ask
each other â€œWhere were you
when the attacks happened?â€
I was giving a talk at a garden
symposium in Freeport,
Maine, that morning. The hotel
staff opened the meeting
room door and asked,
â€œDo you people have any idea
whatâ€™s going on in the outside
world?â€ and led us to the
lounge area, where televisions
were announcing the unfolding
terrible events. As we all
wrestled with our shock and
sorrow over the next few days,
tours of nearby gardens were
the most comforting activities
we could envision.
The community garden behind
St. Johnâ€™s Rectory is thriving
and donated 12 lbs. of tomatoes
(Solanum lycopersicum,
formerly known as Lycopersicon
esculentum) to the
food pantry on August 27 and
25 lbs. of tomatoes on September
3, as well as some hot
peppers and radishes. They are
growing quite a wide range
of tomato varieties, including
large red beefsteak tomatoes
and cherry tomato varieties,
such as red â€˜Sweet 100s,â€™
heirloom yellow pears, orange
cherry, and black cherry tomatoes.
In the photo above,
the brightest orange tomato
is ripe and ready to be picked!
Just like the sunflowers
and others mentioned in last
weekâ€™s column, the two most
popular plants for the autumn
garden, chrysanthemums and

by side on this porch. Can you tell which is which? Read this weekâ€™s
article for the correct answer.

asters, are composite family
members. Many of the most
familiar chrysanthemum (Chysanthemum
morifolium) varieties
have fully double flower
heads â€“ so many ray florets
that the disk florets are not visible.
On the other hand, most
familiar asters do have a traditional
daisy shape in which
there is just one or two rows
of ray florets around the outer
edges, and the disk florets
are plainly visible. Among the
new double forms of asters arriving
in nurseries this fall are
some which have so many ray
florets that the disks are obscured,
leaving shoppers confused
as to which kind of plant
they are looking at.
Looking at leaves can help
A POLLINATOR AT WORK: American painted lady butterfly
(Vanessa sp.) on â€˜Henry I Purpleâ€™ aster.
(Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate by Laura Eisener)
â€“ chrysanthemums have variable
shaped leaves, but usually
at least some are threeto
five-lobed. Your nose will
also be some help here â€“ chrysanthemum
leaves, especially
if you rub them a little, will
have a distinctive spicy scent
that asters lack. The leaves on
New York aster (Aster novi-belgii)
are linear, with no lobes.
On some other aster species,
leaves closest to the flower are
linear while lower leaves may
be toothed on the edges and
have a wider middle. Common
wood aster (Symphiotrichum
cordifolium) has lower leaves

it often grows to five feet tall.

that are nearly heart shaped,
and it is sometimes called
heart-leaved aster. If you examine
petal shapes closely,
chrysanthemum petals are
curved on the sides, while aster
petals are almost straight.
Finally, flower color can be
helpful, although chrysanthemums
have a wide range
of colors â€“ golden, orange,
pink, red shades, pinkish purple
and white â€“ and asters
may also have white, pink or
purple flowers, but the purples
tend a bit more to cool
tones, while the chrysanthemums
have warmer tones.
Asters do not have yellow, orange
or red petals. Chrysanthemums
originated in Asia,
but many species of aster are
native to North America. In the
photo above, â€˜Henry I Blueâ€™ aster
(Aster novi-belgii â€˜Henry I
Blueâ€™) has a blue flower while
â€˜Patty Purpleâ€™ chrysanthemum
is more pinkish purple. Both
genera have had some upheavals
in botanical nomenclature
in recent years, leading
to scientific name changes.
New Yor k ast ers
(Symphiotrichum novii-belgii)
are currently among the most
popular fall flowers. These early
fall bloomers arrive in nurseries
with the early season
chrysanthemums around the
end of August. We commonly
see wild New England asters
(Symphiotrichum novae-angliae)
in fields and meadows,
where they attract a wide
range of pollinators. It is also
popular for bouquets. White
wood aster (Eurybia divaricata)
is very common in wooded areas
and shady backyards, and
I see it in many Saugus neighborhoods.
Late blooming varieties
of asters and chrysanthemums
will bloom through
much of November.
Editorâ€™s Note: Laura Eisener is
a landscape design consultant
who helps homeowners with
landscape design and plant selection
and placement of trees
and shrubs, as well as perennials.
She is a member of the Saugus
Garden Club and offered to
write a series of articles about
â€œwhatâ€™s blooming in townâ€
shortly after the outbreak of the
COVID-19 pandemic. She was
inspired after seeing so many
people taking up walking.

Academy when she only lives six
minutes away. â€œWith the middle
school/high school school day
ending and then the Belmonte
traffic [ending just a few minutes
later], itâ€™s awful,â€ Stoddard
said, adding that adjusting to a
bigger school may be tough for
everyone. Describing the traffic
as annoying, she hoped it would
improve over time. Stoddard
said the traffic was worse in the
afternoon than in the morning
as long as she dropped off her
sons, Michael and Colton, at Belmonte
early enough.
Parent Vagner Noberto said
it took him approximately an
hour to get home from dropping
off his son, Enzo, at Belmonte.
â€œIt was very backed up,â€
Noberto said.
Parent Ellen Schena, who took
time off from her Town Clerkâ€™s
job to drop off her freshman,
Danica, at the high school complex,
shared some observations
about that first day challenge.
Schena said it wasnâ€™t busy leaving
her house at 7:20 a.m., but
the traffic on Main Street heading
home at 7:30 a.m. was tough.
â€œI think the new start times affect
it, and the charter school [traffic]
on Main Street doesnâ€™t help,â€
Schena said.

A community garden
update
If you are young or old and
Whittredgeâ€™s wife was among
the 61 readers who indicated
they liked or loved the post.
Fisher had made a detailed
post on his Facebook page last
week, telling readers that he
may not run for a second term
because of the verbal abuse
he has been subjected to over
social media and in person â€“
including threats of physical
abuse. â€œI spent two years being
attacked for listening to exfeel
like doing some real earthy
community service, why not
join the growing team thatâ€™s
been assisting the Community
Garden which has been helping
to feed the hungry and needy
people of Saugus?
Contact The Rev. John Beach
of St. Johnâ€™s Episcopal Church
to get the latest update on how
the garden is doing and what
you can do to help. Anyone who
wants to help out Rev. John on
this noble project can call him
at 774-961-9881 or send him an
email at revjbeach@gmail.com.
Hereâ€™s Rev. Johnâ€™s latest update:
â€œThe
community garden continues
to produce vegetables
which have been welcomed by
the Saugus Food Pantry. There
may be someone there on Saturday
morning, but most of
the harvesting will be done on
Thursday and Friday.
â€œSeveral of us are gathering
on Thursday afternoon (anytime
between 3 and 6) to pick vegetables
to be driven down on
Friday morning. If any among
you are available to help either
perts, doing what I said I would
do, and not changing my position
to win votes,â€ Fisher said in
a new post this week.
â€œIâ€™ll be honest with you. It
got so bad last year that my
wife and I decided my daughter
would attend a private kindergarten,
and that I wouldnâ€™t
run again. Iâ€™d honor my commitment
but no more,â€ he continued.
â€œBut
things got better, temin
picking on Thursday or tending
the garden on Friday morning
between 9 and 11, you are
warmly welcome.â€

very appreciative. Send me a

So, the five incumbent members
who were elected in a contentious
campaign in which
the three incumbents were
swept from office two years
ago may all get in without opposition
â€“ unless challengers
surface before todayâ€™s deadline.
Whittredge
said last week
that he believes ugly Saugus
politics during these challenging
COVID-19 times could be
discouraging other potential
candidates from running. But
he also acknowledged that the
apparent lack of interest in the
School Committee race could
reflect overall confidence in
current school governance â€“
that town residents are generally
happy with the incumbentsâ€™
overall efforts to turn the
School District around.
In an email to The Saugus Advocate
late yesterday before
deadline, Whittredge elaborated
on his reasons for running
despite his wife's health problems.
â€œI pulled papers on Tuesday
with a little nudging from
my wife. So Iâ€™m back to finish
some unfinished business,â€ he
said. â€œWe all know how important
the next couple of years will
be with making sure we take
the district to the next level. I
definitely donâ€™t want anyone
or anything trying to pull us
back to the days when we run
superintendents out of town
and end up close to state receivership.
We have a plan and
itâ€™s time to implement it.â€

Beacon Hill
Roll Call
By Bob Katzen
THE HOUSE AND SENATE:
There were no roll calls in the
House or Senate last week.
This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call
reports on the number of times
in the 2021 session each senator
sided with Republican Gov. Charlie
Baker and voted to sustain the
governorâ€™s 15 vetoes of items,
mostly in the fiscal 2022 state budget.
A vote to sustain means the
senator supports Bakerâ€™s veto. A
vote to override means the senator
voted to fund the item despite
the governorâ€™s veto.
The current makeup of the Senate
is 37 Democrats and three Republicans.
A
two-thirds vote is required to
override a gubernatorial veto in
a full 40-member Senate when
there are no vacancies. The governor
needed the support of 14
senators to sustain a veto if all 40
senators votedâ€”and fewer votes
if some members were absent or
there were vacancies.
Baker fell far short of that goal
as six votes was the most support
he received on any veto. The Senate
easily overrode all 15 vetoes,
including three that were overridden
unanimously.
The vetoes had no support from
30 of the 37 Democrats who never
once voted to sustain Bakerâ€™s
veto. Only seven Democratic senators
voted to sustain any of the
governorâ€™s vetoes. The Democrat
who voted the most times with
Baker to sustain his veto is Sen.
Walter Timilty (D-Milton) who
voted with Baker twice. Sens. Sonia
Chang-DÃ­az (D-Boston), Diana
DiZoglio (D-Methuen), Jason
Lewis (D-Winchester), Marc Pacheco
(D-Taunton) and Mike Rodrigues
(D-Westport) each voted
with Baker once.
None of the three Republicans
voted with Baker 100 percent of
the time. The Republican senator
who voted the greatest number
of times with Baker was Sen.
Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) who voted
with Baker eleven times (73.3
percent of the time). Sen. Patrick
Oâ€™Connor (R-Weymouth) voted
with Baker only once (6.6 percent),
the least number of times
among Republicans. Even Republican
Minority Leader Bruce
Tarr (R-Gloucester) only supported
Baker nine times (60 percent).
NUMBER OF TIMES SENATORS
SUPPORTED GOV. BAKERâ€™S VETOES
THROUGH SEPTEMBER
3, 2021
Here is how your senator fared
in his or her support of Baker on
the vetoes.

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEKâ€™S
SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call
tracks the length of time that the
House and Senate were in session
each week. Many legislators say
that legislative sessions are only
one aspect of the Legislatureâ€™s job
and that a lot of important work
is done outside of the House and
Senate chambers. They note that
their jobs also involve committee
work, research, constituent
work and other matters that are
important to their districts. Critics
say that the Legislature does not
meet regularly or long enough to
debate and vote in public view on
the thousands of pieces of legislation
that have been filed. They
note that the infrequency and
brief length of sessions are misguided
and lead to irresponsible
late-night sessions and a mad rush
to act on dozens of bills in the days
immediately preceding the end of
an annual session.
During the week of August
30-September 3, the House and
Senate each met for a total of 25
minutes.
Mon. Aug. 30 House 11:00
a.m. to 11:04 a.m.
Senate 11:04 a.m. to 11:11

Tues. Aug. 31 No House session

OBITUARIES
Margaret Elizabeth English
Finished her earthly journey on
September 4, 2021, after two
years of living with cancer. Meg
was born November 17, 1950 at
St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Boston
to Mary L. and Lester V. English.
She was one of 13 siblings. Meg
grew up in Manomet and attended
Sacred Heart Elementary and
High School. She was a thespian
at heart, with a beautiful soprano
voice, performing in school
plays and the Plymouth Players,
a local theater group, all through
her teen years. After high school
graduation, she attended Emerson
College for a while, followed
by a time when she lived overseas in England and France as many young
people were doing those days. She returned home to Boston to work
for a number of years as a waitress and at an alternative high school. She
was passionate for justice for all people, participated in many events
that brought attention to workers' rights, and had powerful voice and
wonderful humor which she used for good. You could say that Meg never
met a stranger. Her laughter was contagious and came right from her
heart. In 1984, Meg was diagnosed with a life threatening illness that
she survived, one day at a time. It was a turning point of her life. She had
a deep spiritual experience that stayed with her all through her life. She
was a power of example to many people. She had a set of spiritual principles
that she applied to her life every day that filled her life with purpose
and happiness. Meg reached out with a helping hand and tried to
be of service wherever she could. She lived an attitude of gratitude. It
was at this time purple became her signature color which she encouraged
others to wear. In 1998 Meg married the love of her life and partner,
Artie Keenan. What a great celebration that was! Best wedding ever!
Just like Meg, full of fun, laughter, and sweetness with great music and
dancing! They lived in Revere later moving to Saugus. Meg received her
undergraduate degree at UMASS, Boston, in Literacy Studies, teaching
speakers of various languages. She went on to obtain her MS in Literacy
at UMASS of Boston. She then worked in the field of ESOL and Adult
Education for 20 years taught job readiness, ESOL/GED, displaced workers,
workplace ESOL, and University ESOL. For her last 11 years in the
workplace Meg ran a program for ESOL and Civics Instruction in Everett.
The Everett Literacy Program, There are 200 students in classes and
300 on a waiting list. She also worked for 2 years at Bunker Hill Community
College in the ESOL program there. She was involved with, and
worked closely with, the Multicultural Affairs Commission in Everett, TriCity
Workforce Development Task Force, MIRA, and La Comunidad, Inc.
These community organizations are critical in the serving of the Everett
immigrant community. Meg was quoted as saying â€œI am interested in
fixing our broken immigration system one step at a time.â€ She loved and
respected her students very much, advocated for them, and continued
to seek justice for all people wherever she worked. The students fondly
called her â€œTeacherâ€ and their, â€œPurple Angelâ€, returning her love and respect
over and over. Meg retired in 2019. These past two years, she has
volunteered, crocheted lots of afghans, crafted multitudes of earrings,
necklaces, and bracelets and is known for her yearly Winter Survival Kits
that she packaged for family and friends. Baking became a big hobby
and we will all be forever grateful and cherish the deliciousness of her
chocolate chip cookies, brownies, sweet breads and other delicacies
from her kitchen. She was a voracious reader and was constantly trading
and borrowing books. Meg was quite the night owl...we all knew not
to call before noon! Always thoughtful of the needs of others and ready
to give whatever she could, Meg continued being of service wherever
possible. And let's not forget her skill at â€œthriftingâ€ which she shared with
a number of sisters. Often a family member would get a package in the
mail with some pretty top or scarf and a note from Meg saying â€œThought
of youâ€. Meg is predeceased by her parents, Mary L. and Lester V. English,
brother, Patrick English, brother, Paco (Frank )English, sister Pauline English,
and sister-in-law, Sandy Graca, her father in-law, Thomas Keenan,
and her brother-in-law, Thomas E. Keenan Jr. Meg is survived by: her beloved
husband, Artie Keenan, of Saugus, and sister-in law, Patricia H.
Keenan, Winthrop, and her siblings: sister, Lee English, (Jim Hoag), Grand
Isle, VT, sister-in-law, Di English, Fort Meyers, sister, Jane Stiles, (Les Stiles),
of Plymouth, her sister, Miriam O'Neal, ( Ken Reback), of Plymouth, sister,
Anne English, (Mare Pagel), of Tucson, sister, Colette Kraatz ( Michael
Kraatz) of Gunnison, CO, brother Jim English, (Susan English) of Manomet,
brother, Nick English, (Brett Mickan) of Surry Hills, NSW, Australia, sister,
Rosie English Sampson of Plymouth, and sister, Kathleen English
Plante, (Wayne Plante) of Manomet. Meg leaves 20 nieces, nephews,
niece-in-laws, and nephew-in-laws, and four grand nieces and nephews.
She, leaves as well, a wonderful extended family of cousins and many,
many, many friends and students. Please feel free to donate to your favorite
charity in Meg's name. We will miss you Sweet Meggie; loving
wife, faithful sister, kind friend and our Purple Angel.

â€œSome things are out of our
control and some will certainly
be addressed,â€ Whittredge said.
â€œIf you are dropping at the

waits until after 7:30 to drop
off ... not good. One thing that
would be super helpful for the
drop off situation is if everyone
checked their email and
followed what is being asked
of them. It has been clearly
communicated from each
principal. Yes traffi c was terrible
but sometimes we are our
own worst enemies. Cooperation

School Committee ViceChair
Ryan Fisher off ered his

of everythingâ€ contributed to
the problems. One contributor,
he said, was the location of
the three schools â€“ with them
being situated close together
and not spread over town, offi
cials expected there was going
to be an impact. â€œFirst days
have always been rough in that

â€œWe have fl exibility with early
drop-off times that not everyone
was aware of or took advantage
of, and the bus shortage
certainly contributed to
the issue, although it could
have been even worse if we
hadnâ€™t maintained our bus
contract in February as we did,â€
Fisher said.
â€œI've also heard reports from
parents about cars going the
wrong way, jutting out into
traffi c, blocking walking paths
for students and blocking intersections,â€
he said. â€œWeâ€™ll
be addressing the issue this
week to see if we can make any
changes to alleviate the problem.
Some planned solutions,
such as a rolling drop-off , will
help. Obviously, we canâ€™t move
the buildings, but there are
smaller changes, such as signage
and visible staff members,
that will have a big impact.â€
Fisher
suggested that parents
can help the process and
each other as well. â€œAnd we'll
continue to communicate
about how to do that,â€ he said.
