We talked about the moving tribute that his beloved K-9 dog Bruin received during his final ride through town before being euthanized after being stricken with incurable cancer.

Tim Fawcett, 59, served on the ASKS | SEE PAGE 13 criminal counts – many of them related to his alleged embezzlement of nearly $1.3 million from a nonprofit organization – his fellow board members have said he should resign. “If you are asking whether I think he should resign, my answer is ‘yes,’” Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta told The Saugus Advocate Wednesday. “These allegations have become a distraction to the important issues that face Saugus,” Panetta said. “He needs to resign. I just feel it’s the right thing to do,” Selectman Scott Brazis said when asked about the situation. “Right now, I don’t believe the people have the utmost trust in him,” he said. Brazis later emailed a brief statement he had prepared for media this week: “Mark should resign. I made a statement a couple of years ago when a former School Committee member was charged with a crime that that person should resign because the board the person served on was being subjected to ridicule and disrepute. “My feelings are the same with this situation.

Vogler T he Saugus Board of Health has requested representatives of Wheelabrator Saugus to appear at a public hearing on Monday to explain why the operation of the company’s trashto-energy plant violated noise and air pollution regulations for a prolonged period in June and last month. Board of Health Chair William Heffernan noted in a threepage letter to the company dated July 22 that the board has scheduled a hearing “in order to commence proceedings to rescind, modify, or suspend the site assignment.” “The Board is cognizant that it invited Wheelabrator in August 2016 to show cause why the Board should not issue an enforcement order at that time; Wheelabrator refused to attend the Board’s hearing. The Board will consider Wheelabrator’s failure to appear.” The meeting is set for 6:15 p.m. in the second floor auditorium at Saugus Town Hall. It had initially been scheduled for the Community Room in the Saugus Public Library.

At a meeting last month to discuss the complaints, members heard testimony from residents and received a legal briefing before voting 4-0 to issue a show cause notice for Wheelabrator officials to appear at the board’s August 5 meeting to explain what happened, why it happened and what they are going to do to keep it from happening again. “It is the understanding of the Saugus Board of Health (the “Board”) that the elevated noise was caused by steam being discharged into the air without adequate noise control technology in place,” Heffernan wrote in a certified letter to Wheelabrator. “The noise has been relentless and debilitating for area residents. Wheelabrator’s noise emissions from the Facility are in violation of several state and local statutes and regulations,” the letter continues. “While Wheelabrator notified the Board on June 10th that scheduled maintenance would occur on the boilers and turbines between June 14th and June 16th, Wheelabrator offered assurances that there would be no noise issues, with only increased visible steam being emitted.” But when the work occurred, “extremely loud noise” was emitted from the facility, according to Heffernan. “The work extended for a time period far beyond what was scheduled, without communications from Wheelabrator concerning the source of the noise,” he wrote. Wheelabrator didn’t contact the board again until June 26, “stating that the silencing equipment did not, in fact, silence the noise to the extent expected and that enhanced silencing technology would be installed,” Heffernan noted. But noise emissions continued from the faculty until at least July 11 without Wheelabrator providing an explanation despite repeated questions from the board. “The exceedingly elevated noise levels produced at the Faculty have prevented area residents from being outside, engaging in outdoor conversations, opening their windows, and sleeping at night,” Heffernan wrote. “Further, prolonged exposure to loud sound can have serious, detrimental health impacts. Area residents have reported decibel readings at their properties between 60 and 70 decibels, far exceeding permissible sound levels.” Heffernan cited these violations: • A state law that provides that emitted noise is of sufficient intensity and duration to cause an event of air pollution. The accrued fine of this $25,000 per penalty per day has accrued to $600,000. • A violation of Saugus Bylaw 514.00. Upon determination by the Board of Health that the operation of the facility results in a threat to public health and safety or the environment, the board can rescind, suspend or modify the site assignment following a notice and public hearing. • A violation of Board of Health regulations under Article 8: No nuisances, including auditory nuisances, may be maintained in Saugus. Failure to comply with the regulation could result in a fine of $299 per day.

Dispatcher Patrick Tosetti received the Lifesaving Award after he calmly provided instructions to a mother who called 911 when her two-week old baby was choking on July 7. As a result, the mother was able to deliver lifesaving aid to the baby until the fire department and ambulance arrived. “I issue this Life Saving Award to recognize your professionalism, focus and clear handling of this stressful and hectic call,” Chief Giorgetti wrote in a letter to Tosetti. “Because of your efforts, the infant’s life was saved...your hard work is appreciated and your actions portray the highest ideal that we strive for in the Saugus Police Department.” Officer Robert Lemoine was also on the scene on July 7 and assisted the mother with abdominal thrusts on the baby, clearing the infant’s airway. “I issue this Letter of Commendation to recognize your professionalism, focus and clear handling of this hectic call,” Chief Giorgetti said. “Your hard work is appreciated.” Officer David Zeitz earned a Letter of Recognition after he assisted in the arrest of a dangerous person and the removal of an illegal firearm from the streets. On July 2, Saugus dispatch officers received a report from the Lynn Police Department that someone in an Audi had fired shots out the window in the area of the Lynn/Saugus line. After police investigated, they determined that a BOLO for the same car had been issued by the Revere Police Department. Soon after, Officer Zeitz located the vehicle. With the assistance of Officers Michael Richards, Christopher Zelinski, Jenna Loverme, Brittany Naumann, Daniela Salinas, Jeff Wood and Sean Murphy, Officer Zeitz conducted a motor vehicle stop. The four occupants of the vehicle were placed under arrest, and following an on-the-scene investigation, a 9mm firearm and large capacity feeding device was recovered. “As a result of your dedication, professionalism and commitment, your stop of the Audi and investigation resulted in an illegally possessed firearm being removed from the streets and a potential deadly crime from being committed,” Chief Giorgetti wrote in his letter. For their assistance at the scene, Officers Richards, Zelinski, Loverme, Naumann, Salinas, Wood and Murphy received Letters of CommenMassachusetts Gaming Commission awards Saugus and Revere an additional $425,000 for Route 1 improvement project (Editor’s Note: This information is from a press release that Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree’s office issued this week.) T own Manager Scott Crabtree announced that the Town of Saugus and the City of Revere have been awarded an additional $425,000 through the Community Mitigation Fund Joint Transportation Planning grant of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) to further advance the planning and design of improvements along the Route 1 corridor. MGC announced this award during its public meeting on July 18, 2019. Saugus officials have spent years researching and identifying traffic and overall infrastructure improvement needs on Route 1 and Route 99. In anticipation of the new Encore Boston Harbor casino in Everett and due to ongoing traffic congestion on Route 1 and Route 99, Saugus officials teamed up with the City of Revere and applied for funding assistance from MGC to begin making necessary capital improvements to this welltraveled infrastructure. MGC supported Saugus and Revere’s plan and awarded the communities a Joint Transportation Planning grant of $150,000 in 2017 to engage a transportation planning specialist, and an additional $275,000 in 2018 to undergo preliminary design for elements of the Route 1 Improvement Project. This most recent award of $425,000 is the third Joint Transportation Planning Grant the Town of Saugus has been awarded from MGC with the City of Revere. This funding will allow Saugus and Revere to focus on smaller transportation improvement projects along Routes 1 and 99 that will seek to mitigate traffic impacts from the new Encore Boston Harbor resort/ casino. “I would like to thank the Massachusetts Gaming Commission for their continued support of the Town of Saugus and its shared vision with the City of Revere to help mitigate traffic and congestion along the Town’s most central artery in order to improve travel and increase safety for the residents and visitors of Saugus,” said Town Manager Crabtree. MGC administers the Community Mitigation Fund to assist the host and surrounding communities in offsetting costs related to construction and operating of gaming establishments. In this most recent round of funding, MGC awarded approximately $4.1 million in Community Mitigation grants to several municipalities and other eligible entities across Massachusetts. “It is a top priority to condation.

Salinger wrote in an eight-page opinion made public this week. “ Their assertion that DEP could not modify the operating permit because the Board never assigned this site as a location for a landfill is without merit. This site was being used as a landfill when the Solid Waste Management Act was first enacted; it has therefore been assigned for landfill purposes by operation of law since 1955,” the judge said. “Nor have Plaintiffs shown the modification constitutes a vertical expansion of the Landfill within the meaning of a relevant regulation, which would require a new site assignment from the Board. Finally, DEP’s findings that the Landfill does not constitute a threat to public health, safety, or the environment are supported by substantial evidence. The Court will therefore AFFIRM the challenged Decision.” Wheelabrator Technologies hailed the court ruling as a major victory for the company. “This week, the Superior Court of Massachusetts supported the earlier determination by the state’s top environmental agency, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), that the Wheelabrator Saugus ash monofill poses no threat to public health, safety, or the environment,” Wheelabrator Technologies’ Vice President of Environmental Health & Safety Jim Connolly said in a brief statement. “Last year, the DEP approved Wheelabrator’s continued use of the monofill after a transparent and rigorous process that included an extensive public comment period. The Town of Saugus and the Conservation Law Foundation had appealed the DEP’s decision, and the Superior Court has upheld the agency’s decision,” Connolly said. “Among other findings, the court ruled that the DEP’s approval -- which determined that Wheelabrator’s continued use of the monofill did not have any impact on the environment, including the ~ Political Announcement ~ Corinne Riley declares candidacy for Saugus Board of Selectmen M y name is Corinne Riley, and I would like to take this opportunity to announce my candidacy for the Saugus Board of Selectmen.

One of his brothers, Cornell, played safety for the Dallas Cowboys. Another brother, Credell Green, played football at the University of Washington and was drafted by the Green Bay Packers. Pumpsie grew up in Richmond, California, and was a three-sport athlete at El Cerrito High School. He always maintained that he was a better basketball player but locked into baseball when he was offered a baseball scholarship to Fresno State University. But when his high school baseball coach, Gene Corr, became the coach at Contra Costa College, Pumpsie was promised he could play shortstop; Pumpsie decided to follow. He grew up as a fan of the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League baseball team. As a senior Pumpsie was offered a contract by Oakland and he signed quickly. Green was delegated to the Wenatchee Chiefs, an Oakland affiliate, and batted .297 in 1954, his second season with the Chiefs. He was promoted to the next minor league level in 1955, playing for the Stockton Ports, and his contract was purchased by the Red Sox although he was allowed to complete the season with Stockton. For the 1956 season, Pumpsie was sent to the Albany Senators, a Sox minor league team. In 1957 he was elevated to the Oklahoma City Indians, and then the San Francisco Seals, then in 1958 he was moved again to the Minneapolis Millers. Green was selected to attend the 1959 Red Sox spring training, and though he played well he returned to the Millers. During 98 games with the Millers he batted .320 and was brought up to Boston. Green made his debut with the Sox on July 21, 1959, against the White Sox in Chicago and pinch hit for Vic Wertz then played shortstop for the eighth and ninth innings, becoming the first black player on the Red Sox field. He started at second base the next day and went 0 for 3. His first hit came on July 28 in Cleveland. The Sox starting pitcher that day was the great Earl Wilson, who became the second person of color for the team. He appeared in 50 games for the Sox that season, mostly as a second-baseman, and he batted .233. He played 133 games in the 1961 season, 69 as a second-baseman and 41 at shortstop, batBill Stewart The Old Sachem ting .242. That season was his career best: batting 6 home runs, 27 RBIs, 12 doubles and 4 stolen bases. The 1962 season will always remain in Red Sox lore because he and pitcher Gene Conley left the team bus in the Bronx during a traffic jam, and they decided to leave the team and depart for Israel with no passports or luggage. The Sox had suffered a humiliating series, and the two decided that the shame was too great and went to Idlewild International Airport (now JFK) but were not allowed to board so they returned to Boston. In the off season Green was traded to the New York Mets – including Tracy Stallard and Al Moran – for Felix Mantilla. He was sent down to the Buffalo Bisons, where he played for most of the season, but was called up to the Mets where he played 17 games where he batted .278. During his big league career in the American League, he played 4 seasons and 344 games, had 181 hits and scored 111 runs, 30 doubles, 10 triples and 12 home runs. He knocked in 69 runs, had 12 stolen bases and walked 126 times while striking out 119 times.

Mitchell has not commented on his indictment or the unanimous recommendation that he resign. Selectman Jennifer D’Eon admitted to being “frustrated” and “disappointed” about the situation, especially since Mitchell didn’t provide advance warning to his colleagues about the situation. “Until Mark decides to resign, the Board of Selectmen and all of the decisions we make will be under scrutiny,” D’Eon said. “Although we can’t force Mark to resign, he shines a bad light on the four of us. If he’s so determined to clear his name, he should step aside so he can fight these charges,” she said. Board of Selectmen Vice Chair Jeff Cicolini said much of the public sentiment he’s aware of suggests that Mitchell should resign. “I believe in the justice system and that he’s entitled to his day in court,” Cicolini said. “Given the severity of the charges, Mark should step down to avoid becoming a distraction to all of the good things happening in town,” he said. Initially – when a lawsuit by the Boston Center for Adult Education (BCAE) against Mitchell and two others alleging they misappropriated more than $700,000 of the center’s money became public last April – Cicolini said he didn’t have a problem with Mitchell serving on the board. “When this first happened, this was a civil matter. There were no criminal charges,” Cicolini said. “But these are pretty serious allegations. And in order to allow the town to move forward, Mark needs to do what’s right. And the right thing to do is to step down. The general consensus out there seems to be that he should step down,” he said. More than $1.8 million allegedly stolen Mitchell, 49, and another former top BCAE executive – ex-Executive Director Susan B. Brown, 66, of Marblehead – were among three people indicted by a Suffolk County grand jury on July 12 in the theft of BCAE funds totaling more than $1.8 million. Brown’s partner, Karen Kalfian, 62, of Marblehead, was also charged for her alleged role in the thefts. Brown allegedly authorized a series of checks to Kalfian totaling $565,586 between 2011 and last year for marketing services that were never performed, according to the indictments. Mitchell, Brown and Kalfian were each released on their own recognizance with orders to stay away from the Boston Center for Adult Education and its employees.The defendants are scheduled to return to court on Sept. 27. The charges against Mitchell include the following: • Making false entries in corporate books • Publishing of false or exaggerated statements • Common law forgery • Common law uttering • Three counts of forgery • Three counts of uttering • Four counts of larceny by scheme Mitchell was also charged with misusing his political campaign funds for personal expenses unrelated to his campaign (see related story), commingling his campaign funds with personal funds, and making cash withdrawals greater than the $50 maximum set by law. The unlawful cash withdrawals were made at locations in Boston, giving Suffolk prosecutors jurisdiction over the offenses. Mitchell was also charged with misusing his political campaign funds for personal expenses unrelated to his campaign (see related story), commingling his campaign funds with personal funds and making cash withdrawals greater than the $50 maximum set by law. The unlawful cash withdrawals were made at locations in Boston, giving Suffolk prosecutors jurisdiction over the offenses. According to the statement of the case presented by prosecutor Attorney Julien Mundele, Mitchell wrote checks to himself totaling about $900,000. He also wrote checks in the name of Kelly Holt, a BCAE instructor. Then he forged her signature and deposited the funds in his account. “Mitchell embezzled $82,510 by writing checks to the Saugus Wings, an AAU baseball organization which he owned and operated in the town of Saugus,” Mundele said. “...Mitchell wrote checks, in the amount of $242,749 to various unauthorized third-party organizations for his personal benefit and the benefit of his AAU teams,” he said. Riley says resignation calls took too long A political challenger who lost to Mitchell by a narrow HAS HE LOST THE PUBLIC’S TRUST? Colleagues of Selectman Mark Mitchell say the criminal charges against him have damaged his credibility and that he should resign. (Saugus Advocate file photo by Mark E. Vogler) margin in the 2017 town elections stepped up her criticism of the embattled selectman this week. Corinne Riley had publicly called for Mitchell’s resignation back in April. She noted that Mitchell’s failure to disclose serious charges against him showed that he put himself above his constituents. “I stand by what I said then. The fact that he has now been indicted and arraigned now only lends more credibility to the criminal charges against him,” Riley told The Saugus Advocate this week. “Saugus deserves five selectmen that put the needs of the town first. Throughout our country, people, including me, believe that many politicians are crooks and self-serving,” Riley said. “The growing charges against Mark Mitchell only further that belief. However, I know that many politicians are not. Mr. Mitchell has another opportunity to do right by the constituents he claims to serve by resigning immediately,” she said. Riley said she is pleased that selectmen are calling for Mitchell’s resignation. “But, I think these comments would have served the town better if they had been made earlier. Charges against Mr. Mitchell were made nine months ago and finally made public in April, and the only thing I heard from any selectman up until last week was that he is innocent until proven guilty,” Riley said. “While that is true, the issue at hand regarding the town is not his guilt or innocence, but whether Saugus is better off with or without him on the Board of Selectmen. The citizens of town should have come first, whether he is a friend or member of the same ‘pack’ or not.” A.B.C.

EVERE - Wheelabrator, a waste to energy facility located in Saugus, is under fire for causing Revere residents excessive noise disturbances and possible health hazards. At the City Council meeting on Monday night, citizens and council members went back and forth trying to determine the root cause of these issues and a possible solution. According to its website, Wheelabrator has 25 facilities located in the United States and United Kingdom. They generate electricity by using an assortment of waste fuels, including waste wood and waste coal. One of their main goals is to “protect the health and safety of the communities they serve” – their highest priority. However, not everyone believes they are living up to this standard. “If this facility were to be proposed anywhere else in the United States of America, I believe with the existing safeguards they don’t have down there it would be denied,” said Revere Ward 5 Councillor John Powers. “There is a meeting with the Board of Health in Saugus on August 6. I anticipate to go to that meeting, and whatever voice I can lend to end that situation down there I certainly will,” he said. Throughout the meeting, residents lined up to voice their complaints against Wheelabrator and demonstrate the noise disturbance by personally recorded iPhone clips. A loud, droning noise could be heard from these cell phone speakers, with many comparing it to the sound of a roaring jet engine.There were also multiple conversations about the possible detrimental effects Wheelabrator has on the public’s health, with cancer being a key word brought up on multiple occasions. But is Wheelabrator just to blame for all of these problems? Some council members think there are more parties at fault. “Wheelabrator is no longer making the noises and now it’s coming from General Electric, which is right next to Wheelabrator,” said Revere Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky. “If we’re going to go after Wheelabrator, we need to go after General Electric also. I question the legality of us going into another town,” he said. But some Saugus residents who live closer to Wheelabrator than their Revere neighbors have stated in the past that Wheelabrator has been unfairly blamed for noise that has come from the nearby General Electric plant in Lynn, just down the road on Route 107. Both plants are located in the industrialized section of their respective municipalities. A few weeks ago, MassDEP, also known as the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, went down to Wheelabrator and did not find any issues with the current situation. They performed a surprise investigation at General Electric and did find problems. General Electric Aviation is located in Lynn, and the facility is responsible for building and testing jet engines. Due to this, some think the noise could be coming from General Electric instead of Wheelabrator. But that is something that Councillor-at-Large George Rotondo says is unlikely. “I think it’s very low considering the time in which this happens. Every time someone has contacted me, it’s been at night,” said Revere Councillor-at-Large Roton“I do not believe, based upon what I’ve seen and what I’ve heard by driving up to the facility while this was going on, that this was from GE; it’s from Wheelabrator,” he said. “Period. No guessing – my car and myself went up there … That being said, I don’t know when GE tests their planes, but I suspect they probably do it during the days, if they test planes at all.” The Revere Advocate reached out to General Electric’s corporate headquarters in New York to find out. Rich Gorham, a spokesman for General Electric in Lynn, responded on Thursday by stating, “We do test our engines in Lynn and occasionally at night; it just really depends on the production schedule.” For now, the City Council voted to continue this investigation until further information is available. ׉ 7cassandra://1qhxYBAk25fqpjaCRhD7DxPiN3XZ2g4q0r9LAwkELmc'`̰]D"EzN׉E)zTHE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 2, 2019 Page 11 THE SOUNDS OF SAUGUS By Mark Vogler H ere are a few tidbits that you might want to know about this week in Saugus. “A shout-out” for Tim Fawcett “How about interviewing the retiring Police K-9 officer, Tim Fawcett?” a couple of readers recently suggested. Actually, we had an interview request dating back to March, around the time that Tim’s K-9 Dog, Bruin, received a classic tribute on his final ride to a Wakefield animal hospital where he was put to sleep. After learning that Tim had retired, I was planning to call him this week to see if he was agreeable to doing an interview for this week’s “The Advocate Asks.” Then, early Tuesday morning I received this text from Tim: “Mark, sorry to bother you this early but wanted to inform you that I am now retired from Saugus PD and can now do the interview you requested after k9 Bruin had passed without any restrictions from administration. I would be honored to do an interview when ever we could meet. I Thank You for your support Please text me when you can and hopefully we can finally get to say what I would like to express. Thank You again. Tim Fawcett.” Well, it was an opportune time, as I desperately needed an interview for this week’s paper. So please check out our comprehensive reflections piece with Tim. There weren’t any reader nominations this week for “A shoutout,” so Tim gets that honor as an editor’s choice. What a standup, classy guy and a great people-person whose K-9 dogs – Bruin and Beny – were household names for hundreds of students attending Saugus Public Schools over the past eight years. So, please check it out. Want to “shout-out” a fellow Saugonian? 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 of “An Extra Shout Out. No more than a paragraph – anything longer might lend itself to a story and/or photo. Jeannie debunks job rumors I ran into School Committee Chair Jeannie Meredith this week at the back of the Town Hall basement. I have been hearing a few interesting rumors that have been flying around town in recent weeks. The kind of rumors that might grab attention, but might not necessarily be true. One of them had her going to night school to receive education and training that allegedly would ease her into a planner-type job. She’s currently working out of the office used by the former town planner and planning and economic development director. Another one that seems to be making the rounds is that she might be in line for an animal control officer’s job. Jeannie laughed and said neither rumor should be considered a reliable news tip. And, by the way, she says she is not receiving the town’s health care benefits and is also not interested in the vacant health director’s job. “I’m not going to school at night,” Jeannie told me. “And nobody approached me to take one of these jobs,” she added. The only thing that keeps her busy at night during these hot days of summer is if she has a hankering for some ice cream. “I love a twist of soft serve with some jimmies – chocolate and vanilla with the jimmies on one half.” Jeannie says she loves to frequent the local Soc’s Ice Cream or the Dairy Maid in Everett. Sounds like more fun than going to school. Sizing up the super A workshop is planned for Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. in the School Committee Room in the Roby Building to get into the nuts and bolts of evaluating Saugus Public Schools Superintendent Dr. David DeRuosi, Jr. That could be an interesting session for people who are curious about Dr. DeRuosi’s shelf life as a Saugus administrator.

For more details, check with Dennis Gould (617-267-4847). Does he stay or does he go? Is Selectman Mark Mitchell going to stand his ground and finish out his two-year term? What on earth could keep him from stepping down at a time when his colleagues are urging him to call it quits? Well, perhaps he wouldn’t want Corinne Riley, who finished just a dozen or so votes behind him in the election two years ago, to fill his seat. There are some rumblings that he is being encouraged privately to stay on the board, but not go to the meetings. One report has Town Manager Scott Crabtree interested in a contract extension. If so – and we don’t know if there is much basis to this report – then Mitchell would probably not go anywhere. Meanwhile, it’s easy to see why Mitchell’s colleagues are in unanimous agreement that Mitchell should resign. Here’s a board that ran as a team in two regular town elections after winning a recall election as a team which enabled them to rehire the town manager after he had been fired by the four selectmen who were ousted in the 2015 recall election. So this team was very tightknit. They went to one another’s fundraisers. They celebrated their election victories together after basically campaigning as a team. Now they are trying to avoid linkage to Mitchell – sort of guilt by association. It’s quite a conundrum. But the days of “the Fabulous Five” might be over. We might be off base with some of these rumors, but they are worth watching. Let the campaign rumors begin! We’re into the second week of nomination papers being taken out at the Town Clerk’s Office, and there is some interesting listing of names of people pulling the papers. For instance, Paul Allan, one of the four ex-selectmen who was ousted in the recall election four years ago, has pulled papers. A little irony there. Could he pick up enough votes to claim the seat taken over by Mark Mitchell? Another former selectman – Michael J. Serino – has also pulled papers. Former School Committee member Corinne Riley, who came close to beating Mitchell out for the fifth spot two years ago, declared this week that she will be running. Michael J. Coller, Alexah Joseph, Matthew P. Riley and Domenic Montano have also pulled papers for selectman as of late Wednesday. That’s seven candidates who are not incumbents. Whether they go ahead and file the papers is another matter. None of the incumbents have yet pulled papers for a seat on the School Committee. Coller, former School Committee Member Arthur Grabowski and William R. Moore have pulled papers. It will be interesting to see whether this fall’s elections for the School Committee bring out candidates who are angry over the privatization of custodial services which cost 21 custodians their jobs. For the Saugus Housing Authority, incumbent Member John Cannon and Coller have pulled papers. Another interesting election story is candidate Coller. He has pulled papers for the School Committee, the Board of Selectmen and the Housing Authority. Coller was unsuccessful in campaigns for state rep last year and the selectmen’s race two years ago. Could he wind up getting elected to a seat by running SOUNDS | SEE PAGE 12 ׉ 7cassandra://YpgJeIhjhdygcLJqTLHhcKn1qdB0WkDXyhovOL0in34#`̰]D"EzN]D"EzN PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://FIzJTnq-fhu8LWwMAO8Qk_VAXxvoYVygvlV3K_isuRo w`)׉ 7cassandra://ZyW3SNJOofwj9HxRDE2snKronx9B_Wn4kQ8tYxzBbos͑?`J׉ 7cassandra://cC8HcwCucMe6IhdfP6piRmroNLI8b8cbrIRToWqWIz0"`̰׉ 7cassandra://H_JYWwRET_flxJb25SKkaHMVlZzcX-WiSYL-5nYXr0kͨO͠]D"EzNט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://mKEbTPzTvYFe-D4WwN1lezCfk0e4jhhmKykPQ4L8J28 '#`)׉ 7cassandra://BsHugbuqj_9TGEBzC19QMrMpS2sApEOzLvT6ZYx6o68͑K`J׉ 7cassandra://2_2LjOpEq59ag-UHvLk6ZkpT_cEmR89pCym2015oHeg(`̰׉ 7cassandra://uwCDYhY9WOnl9QsPbB2WluCp6GS4FVfUmCXVGVPiQnQ5̐͠]D"EzNܑנ]D#EzNV9ׁH'http://www.MidAutumnLanternFestival.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E+Page 12 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 2, 2019 SOUNDS | from page 11 for all three positions?

Saugus over coffee, anyone? Back during several stints covering political campaigns in 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 in your neighborhood in town that you would like to see public officials tackle? 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.

From Veterans’ Service Officer Jay Pinette: “Each year on August 7th, the nation pauses to remember and pay homage to the brave men and women who were either wounded on the battlefield or by an act of international terrorism, or paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives to defend the freedoms all Americans are privileged to enjoy. “As America’s oldest decoration, the Purple Heart is awarded to any member of the U.S. Armed Forces that has been wounded, died as a result of wounds received in battle, by an act of international terrorism, or those who died in captivity while a prisoner of war (POW). We now celebrate Purple Heart Day on the anniversary of its creation by General George Washington on August 7, 1782.” CHaRM Recycling Drop-Off site open tomorrow The Town of Saugus announces that the community’s Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM) is open to residents on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 pm.

He’s been credited with helping to reinstitute a K-9 unit in the Saugus Police Department after more than two decades without one. He and his dog Bruin were popular ambassadors of the Saugus Police Department when it came to interacting with the students of Saugus Public Schools for many years. Fawcett, who was one of four children of Robert and Jacqueline Fawcett, moved from East Boston in 1964 to Endicott Street on the east side of Saugus. He is a 1978 graduate of Saugus High School and was a standout athlete, starring in football, baseball and basketball. His future wife – the former Debbie Chase – grew up on Holland Street. She is a 1988 Saugus High School graduate. She also excelled in High School sports, as a member of the basketball, field hockey and softball teams. Tim and Debbie Fawcett were both inducted into the Saugus High School Sports Hall of Fame. They now reside in Peabody and have three children: Tyler, Timothy, Jr. and Gina. Tim Fawcett became a reserve officer in the Saugus Police Department in March of 1983. He was appointed a full-time officer in May of 1988. He worked as a patrol officer for his first 13 years and was assigned to the 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. shift. In 2001, he persisted in getting then-Police Chief Ed Felix and Lt. Mike Annese to resurrect the department’s K-9 unit. Soon after, he received training at the K-9 Police Academy, led by Troy Caisey of the Boston Police Department. He served as handlers of two K-9 dogs, Beny (2001-11) and Bruin (2011-19), during his time on the unit. saw, especially from the Saugus Fire Department, who raised the ladder truck with the large American flag hanging down, the members who were working that day and the duty officers in full uniform gave my family and my dog a full salute. Then I went to Wakefield and I happened to notice an 80-yearold woman in a full military salute, wearing a Boston Bruins jersey – who never knew my dog or myself – paying tribute to my dog. Q: Wow. That was something. How did she know to be out there? A SCHOOL VISIT: Retired Police K-9 Officer Tim Fawcett with K-9 Bruin during one of many trips the team made into Saugus Public Schools during the period 2011-19. (Courtesy Photo to The Saugus Advocate) Highlights of this week’s interview follow. Q: Tim, I have been trying to sit down with you and do an interview since the death of K-9 Bruin back in March. It’s been a few months now since his death. What are your thoughts about the tribute you and Bruin got, driving around during his final ride … with the kids lined up in the street out in front of the schoolhouses, cheering, waving signs and just showing their appreciation? A: First of all, that entire tribute to my canine is etched in my heart forever, along with my family’s hearts. It’s something that you could never repay the people or Officers Domenic Montano, Billy Cash and Matt Donahue and members of the department – did without my knowledge or my family’s – it is something I will never forget. Q: What are your recollections of that day? A: I remember waking up that morning, knowing that within hours that I had to put the dog down. However, I was told by Officer Montano that the Peabody Police Department (where I reside) were going to assist us just to get onto Route 1 to take us to the veterinarian. I also remember that when my nephew had called me to see Bruin prior to his being put down, he said “Uncle, I can’t get in the house; there are eight Peabody police cruisers and a Lynnfield motorcycle in front of your house.” My recollections are then that I was told to come outside, and the Saugus Police Department, with at least four marked cruisers, were being followed by 25 other marked cruisers and unmarked cruisers from several cities and towns – Everett, Chelsea, Revere, Malden, Arlington and McGarvey’s Towing and the DPW of Saugus – following in a parade in a tribute to my dog. Q: Wow. And the best memory of the day for you was … A: I would have to say, when TAKING A BREAK: The late K-9 Bruin relaxing. Retired K-9 Officer Tim Fawcett says the death of his beloved dog in March influenced his decision to retire after more than 31 years at the Saugus Police Department. (Courtesy Photo to The Saugus Advocate) my 15-year-old son, who was seated next to me in the cruiser, by permission of Chief Giorgetti, for Bruin’s final ride, looked up and said, “Dad, look at the helicopters over us” on Route 1. And I didn’t realize it … I thought they were there for traffic reporting. And my son said “Dad, they are following you.” I have so many memories of that tribute, of the entire school, not just Mrs. [Jennifer] Ricciardelli’s class at the Oaklandvale School, but all of the students lining Main Street, all of the citizens of town throughout Cliftondale Square throughout Saugus Center, all the town employees – the support that my family A: I don’t know those answers because … like I said, Officer Montano surprised myself and my family by saying originally that there was only going to be two cruisers to escort us to the veterinarian for Bruin’s final putdown, and there was going to be one in the front and one in the rear. And the previous night, he said the PD was going to get involved. But he never told me of all of the other K-9 units he reached out to, nor did he tell me that there was going to be a tribute parade – something like the Christmas Eve parade that I was involved in for many years. Q: And in Wakefield, that was the veterinarian that was the last stop for Bruin? A: That was the location of the veterinarian: the VCA Wakefield Animal Hospital. Doctor Samantha Simonelli and the staff there, I can’t thank enough. Dr. Simonelli did a wonderful job of comforting my family. Q: Anything else about the tribute that you would like to add? - Live Performances | Dozens of Food Vendors Activities for the Entire Family | Beer Garden A: After Bruin’s passing, we received blankets, paintings, key chains, portraits and hundreds of cards, not just from Saugus residents, but from people across the country. And there were also offers of free German Shepherd puppies that people wanted to ship to my home. A lady from Idaho was upset that I didn’t accept the offer, and she didn’t care if it was a male or female or whether it was going to be a police dog or not. And this all came after that touching tribute that Officer Domenic Montano organized. Q: And what happened to Bruin as far as his remains? A: We have his ashes at home. They’re in an urn. It’s a little bit tough to look at, but we know he’s in our home forever. This was just a touching tribute that I really can’t describe. Q: Please tell me, what made Bruin so special? All of the kids were out there paying their respects. A: The kids were amazed by him. I think that even though my lead instructor, Troy, didn’t agree with me sometimes to bring the K-9 in the homes – they were basically to be kenneled outside. After my first one, where my wife, Debbie, wanted the dog in the home because it was too cold out, we developed a system where we wanted the dogs to be social with our family – where we could trust them around children. And I was blessed. I had two beautiful animals. I don’t know if they took the demeanor of my family, but they were just social animals.

And with children, they would like to show off; both of my dogs were showoffs to children; they loved it. Q: Please tell me a little bit about your dad, who I understand was a legendary cop with the Boston Police Department. A: That’s very true. My father was a legend – an icon. I hear so many different descriptions of my dad as a Boston Police detective who worked most of his career out of Station 7 in East Boston. He was a big man but known as “The Bear.” People feared him, but he was fair, and he used to say, “Please don’t take my kindness for weakness.” And my dad was a police officer in the 60s and 70s, with a lot of Mafia things going on, and he was also there during Boston’s forced bussing. So, dad was my idol. I lived up to my dad. He always said that I watched too much “Adam 12.” My dad was just a gentle giant. He would always say to my brother Bobby and me to never be a bully. Q: He wanted you to be a firefighter? A: Well, that’s the story I tell saintroccosfeast.org Beer/Wine Garden, Raffles, Food, Games, and Live Entertainment all weekend! Fun for everyone!

He didn’t want me to be a police officer. He wanted me to be a firefighter and learn a trade because he felt that firefighters earned their money every day, especially fighting fires and dragging hoses. But he felt that people liked firefighters because they don’t have to arrest people or issue tickets to people. Q: I guess during the course of your career, you didn’t arrest a lot of people, right? A: I tried to be fair. As I told you before, I was brought up by great parents. I always tried to be kind. My mom and my dad brought me up, along with my siblings, to be fair to everyone because we are all human beings and everybody makes a mistake. Q: What’s your favorite Bruin memory? A: I’d probably say the day that I chose him out of six other K-9s: because I knew he had a big heart and he was top-notch in obedience, agility. I just felt that the first day that I saw him; I fell in love with him. A breeder brought him and six other K-9s to the Boston facility, and I picked him from them. His original name was K-9 Arco. That’s a funny story. I got home and the Bruins had won the Stanley Cup in 2011, and my son Tyler asked if we could change his name because of his colors – black and gold or black and yellow. This is the truth. I had to call Troy Caisey [of the Boston Police Department] that evening and ask him if it was okay, and he said, “Yeah, he’s young enough to change his name.” As far as other favorite memories: He was just a wonderful dog around children. How many times can I say I was blessed? He was just a great dog around my family and friends and at every school activity or social event that I did. I had full trust in that dog. Q: So, every kid in the Saugus School system, at one point or another, may have met Bruin? A: I hope so – at least at the elementary level. I did many, many schools. Q: What did you think about the signs that the kids made at the Oaklandvale School? The principal sent us pictures he had taken of the construction of the signs the kids had made as a tribute to Bruin. A: Again, the only way I can describe it is: etched in my heart. These kids put so much time and effort into these signs. And when the dog actually heard the kids yelling “B-r-u-i-n! B-r-u-i-n!” he actually stood up ASKS | SEE PAGE 16 Summer is Here! ׉ 7cassandra://eGsCapOy6KD7UOx6PEcbJPBejk1NFi06wf5M7K38mA4/Q`̰]D"EzN׉EtTHE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 2, 2019 Page 15 Stretch of losses knocks Wings out of playoffs By Greg Phipps A week ago, the Saugus Wings still had a realistic chance of making the North Shore Baseball League (NSBL) playoffs. A 3-1 victory over the North Shore Storm back on July 18 had the Wings within a game of the eighth and final postseason position. That all changed drastically over this past week as Saugus dropped its next five games and fell to 4-19 and alone in last place in the NSBL. With just one game remaining on the regular season schedule, it also guaranteed the Wings won’t be participating in this year’s postseason as they were two games behind eighth-place Rowley. Consecutive losses to Peabody, North Reading and Kingston by a combined 28-9 margin left the Wings in desperate straits entering Monday’s contest against the fifthplace Swampscott Sox at World Series Park. The Wings needed to at least take two of their last three games, and Monday’s tilt began in promising fashion. Starter Tyler Armstrong wiggled his way out of a bases-loaded first-inning jam and set the Sox down in order in the second. Meanwhile, Saugus loaded the bases in its half of the first but failed to convert. The Wings did edge in front, 1-0, with two outs in the bottom of the second when a topper up the middle by Mike Mabee went for a hit and scored Steve DiBlasi from third base. DiBlasi had reached on an error earlier in the frame. A deep fly out to center field ended the inning. That would end up being all the scoring for the Wings, who RILEY | from page 5 Fair at Saugus High School in 2014, and it has become an annual event.

Marshall also struck out seven. Swampscott did eventually break through against Armstrong and came away with its 14th victory.

My son said, “Put the windows down, dad, so the kids can hear him.” Q: So, this happened as he was being driven … A: Driven by the Oaklandvale School. The kids were chanting “B-r-u-i-n! B-r-u-i-n!” and my dog actually stood up on his weak legs – as weak as he was – and barked toward the kids a final good-bye. Q: Wow, I guess that made your eyes water. A: Yes. It does now when I think back about it. Q: So, besides your dad, did you have any other idols you looked up to who helped shape your career?

It all goes back to my family, the way they brought me up. I just think that everybody is a human. I guess that’s how I became the favorite cop. I don’t know. Q: And this was during Bruin’s period? A: No, prior to me having a K-9. This was many years ago when they had that poll. Q: I also understand that you and your wife, Debbie, were Saugus High School sports legends. You both were inducted into the Saugus High Sports Hall of Fame. A: I would say that my wife is more of a legend than I am, because she was a three-sport athlete and excelled in each one: basketball, softball and field hockey. I did play three sports in High School, but primarily football. I was not as good in baseball or basketball, but I was a member of many good teams with great players. Q: Did you win any titles?

I don’t dare play her one-on-one in basketball, I’ll tell you that. She was quite the athlete and still is. Q: Now, are your sons interested in law enforcement? A: Neither one of my boys, I hope. I hate to say this, but it’s just a tough job. It’s a thankless job sometimes, but not for me. I have had many good memories from the people of Saugus, both the citizens and the merchants that made my career a blessing. Q: So, you wanted to follow in your father’s footsteps, against his best wishes. A: Yes, I did. My dad was quite against me becoming a police officer. He wanted me to have a Civil Service job, but he preferred me to have it as a firefighter because he felt that even though the firefighters, as I mentioned, earned their money all of the time – my father just felt that citizens look at firefighters in a better way because they don’t have to issue tickets or arrest someone in their family. Q: You mentioned earlier that you were actively involved with the Christmas Eve parade for many years that’s quite an institution in town. So, that was something you really enjoyed as you look back on your career? A: Yes. I had the pleasure of working with the officer who originated the parade: the late Officer Bill Diotte.

Charlie Baker the conference committee compromise version of a $43.1 billion fiscal 2020 state budget. Baker has ten days to sign the budget and to veto sections of it. It would then take a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate to override any vetoes. The conference committee version was hammered out after the House and Senate each approved different budgets. The package raises spending by $1.6 billion, or 4 percent over fiscal 2019. “The strategic investments that are made in this budget reflect the shared priorities of the Legislature,” said House Ways and Means Committee Chair Aaron Michlewitz (DBoston). “By incorporating the input from our colleagues, this document has been made stronger. I am proud that key services in the areas of education, housing, homelessness and the environment will see significant funding increases in this budget.” “This consensus fiscal year 2020 ~ Legal Notice ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS TRIAL COURT DEPARTMENT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Suffolk Probate and Family Court Docket No. SU 08D-1453-DV1 SCHEDULING ORDERS Complaint for CONTEMPT docketed on March 28, 2019 (#154) KEVIN CLABBY Plaintiff vs. SHANNON CLABBY Defendant After hearing on April 29, 2019 at which the plaintiff father alone appeared, it is ORDERED: 1. On or before the next court date, the father shall file a return of service with regard to his pending complaint for contempt. 2. This matter shall be scheduled for STATUS hearing at 9:00 a.m. on 8/5/19. Memorandum of Orders The parties were divorced by Judgment Nisi on July 21, 2011 pursuant to which mother had sole legal and sole physical custody of the four daughters. No provision for parenting by father was made at this time. It is apparent from the review of the docket that father has suffered from illness and disability since on or before the divorce. Father filed a complaint for modification as a result of which Kaplan, J. ordered a parenting plan for him on alternate Saturdays for an hour at a fast food restaurant in Revere. Her judgment and rationale is docketed at #97. Thereafter, mother filed a complaint for modification to terminate father’s parenting time during a period of incarceration - this was allowed on an interim basis but ultimately her complaint was dismissed as father was no longer incarcerated. See Judgment of Dismissal at #134 which entered on 11-30-17. After that, the judgment at #97 once again controlled. Father seeks now to enforce his parenting time and has filed his complaint for contempt at #154 alleging mother’s noncompliance. Questionable service on mother keeps the court from entering a capias bench warrant after she failed to appear for the hearing on April 29, 2019. The above orders are designed to give father a reasonable opportunity to prove that she has been properly served. If he is unable to do so, the matter may be dismissed, in the Court’s discretion. So ordered. July 10, 2019 Virginia M. Ward, Associate Justice August 2, 2019 budget strikes a balance between maintaining fiscal responsibility and making targeted investments that benefit our commonwealth’s economic well-being,” said Senate Ways and Means Chair Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport). “I was the sole vote against the acceptance of the conference committee report because I was concerned the report’s language on offshore wind procurement left key terms undefined,” said Sen. Mark Pacheco (D-Taunton). “I brought my concerns to the Senate floor and I hope the administration was listening. The conference committee report also did not contain language for the reauthorization of simulcasting, which will end at the close of business on July 31st. Despite my concerns about the conference committee report, however, I was proud to vote along with my colleagues unanimously in favor of enacting the budget because the citizens of Massachusetts depend on the resources it provides for public education, local aid, and countless other vital functions and services.” Beacon Hill Roll Call notes that there actually was not a roll call that was unanimous on the enactment (final approval) of the budget. Enactment was approved by a voice vote. (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes Rep. Donald Wong Yes Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes AMENDMENT TO ALLOWING UNIONS TO CHARGE NONUNION MEMBERS FOR SOME COSTS (S 2273) House 29-128, Senate 5-34, rejected Gov. Charlie Baker’s amendments to a House and Senatepassed bill that would allow public sector unions to charge nonmembers for the cost of some services and representation. The bill was filed as a response to the Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that public employees cannot be forced to pay fees or dues to a union to which he or she does not belong. Freedom of speech advocates hailed the decision while labor advocates said it was an unjust attack on unions. In his message to the Legislature, Baker said his amendments would protect the privacy rights of public employees and correct statutory inconsistencies. “Although a portion of this bill addresses issues raised in the Janus decision … other provisions in the bill go beyond what the Janus decision required,” said Baker in a message to the Legislature. “These provisions would jeopardize the privacy rights of public employees and prevent the commonwealth and public sector unions from negotiating certain terms and conditions of employment.” “The House and Senate engaged in a serious debate regarding the substance of the governor’s amendments, and ultimately decided on a bipartisan basis to overwhelmingly support language which did not include them,” said Rep. Paul Brodeur (D-Melrose). “Ensuring that we do everything we can in Massachusetts to protect workers’ rights continues to be a top priority. I’m eager to have these worker protections become law.“ “The governor tried to strike a balance,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance which was in favor of the amendments. “House and Senate leaders unfortunately didn’t want to cooperate with those who raised serious privacy concerns. We are hopeful the governor will veto the legislation, it’s the only appropriate response at this point.” (A “Yes” vote is for Baker’s amendments. A “No” vote is against them.) Rep. RoseLee Vincent No Rep. Donald Wong Yes Sen. Brendan Crighton No $1.3 BILLION FOR GREENWORKS (H 3987) House 158-0, approved and sent to the Senate the GreenWorks Bill which invests $1.3 billion in resiliency, clean energy and energy efficiency to shrink the state’s carbon footprint. The proposal establishes a $1 billion grant program for cities and towns to fund clean energy, energy efficiency and climate change measures that cut greenhouse gas emissions, fortifyinfrastructure and reduce municipal costs. “The GreenWorks program is going to support economic development opportunities throughout Massachusetts by helping our cities and towns adopt Massachusetts-made clean energy technology and provide jobs through green infrastructure projects,” said Rep. Smitty Pignatelli (D-Lenox), House chair of the Committee on the Environment, Natural Resources, and Agriculture. “[The bill] will help the Berkshires and our entire commonwealth save money and leave more resources for other priorities such as schools, first responders, roads and bridges.” “GreenWorks was meant to be, and is, broad and very flexible,” said Rep. Tom Golden (D-Lowell), chairman of the Committee on Telecommunication, Utilities and Energy and the bill’s chief sponsor “It is to allow each community to identify their problems and use GreenWorks dollars to solve their issues and their problems. “They care about their taxes, they care about their roads, they care about many things,” said Rep. Ted Speliotis (D-Danvers) during the debate. “But when you ask them or when I’m asked in my district or here what are people talking about, they’re talking about the changes in our climate and the effects -- and all in the negative, In the last month we have been barraged to a point like never in our lifetime -- people fearful of going to the beaches, people fearful of their summer homes, they’re fearful of their own property -- and each and every year we spend more time recouping from the damages.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes Rep. Donald Wong Yes BAN CHILD MARRIAGE (S 2294) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would ban the marriage of anyone under the age of 18. Current law allows minors to get married if they have parental consent. “It’s a good day in Massachusetts,” said Fraidy Reiss, Founder and Executive Director of Unchained At Last - the group behind the ban. The Legislature just moved one step closer to eliminating a human rights abuse that destroys girls’ lives.” During the debate, the bill’s sponsor Sen. Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester) said that the Legislature has the power to stop child marriages in the Bay State. She noted that Delaware and New Jersey passed similar legislation last year, making them the first states in the nation to completely ban child marriage. She noted that means that Massachusetts still has the chance to be on the forefront of justice. “Unfortunately, 1,231 underage youth were married in Massachusetts between the years 2000 and 2016,” said the bill’s sponsor Sen. Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester). “This is a problem, because young people who marry under the age of eighteen are not afforded the tools to protect themselves or to remove themselves from an abusive relationship or a forced marriage. (A Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes MUST UPDATE DATABASE OF MEDICAL PROVIDERS (S 2295) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House legislation designed to make it easier for patients to access health care, both behavioral and physical, by requiring health insurance companies to do monthly updates of their provider databases which tell patients which doctors and other medical resources are available to them. “Many families and individuals seeking health care are unable to find a provider that meets their needs because of outdated and unclear provider directories,” said Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester), the sponsor of the proposal. “Accurate provider directories are critical to improving access to timely and appropriate care to reduce disparities, to improve health outcomes and to decrease unnecessary utilization of emergency and inpatient care. We are proud that the Senate took this important step forward today.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes HOW LONG WEEK’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 Legislature’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 July 22-16, the House met for a total of seven hours and 25 minutes while the Senate met for a total of eight hours and 21 minutes. MON.

AARP is way too liberal for my liking. Discount Seeking Conservative Dear Conservative, There are actually quite a few senior advocacy organizations out there promoting themselves as conservative alternatives to AARP, and many of them offer membership benefit too. Here’s what you should know. Anti-AARP While AARP, with a membership of around 38 million, is by far the biggest and most powerful advocacy group for people age 50 and older, there are millions of older Americans that don’t like or agree with their stance on various issues. Many believe AARP leans too far to the left despite its stated nonpartisan nature. For seniors that disagree with AARP, there are other conservative leaning groups that you can join that may better represent your views. And, many of them offer their members discounts on things like travel, insurance, healthcare and more. Here are several to check into. 60 Plus: American Association of Senior Citizens (60plus.org): Established in 1992, this nonprofit group was founded to lobby for issues it holds dear, namely free enterprise, fewer taxes and less Government. Their main priority is to end the federal estate tax and preserve social security. Membership fees run $12, $24 or $48 per year, or $299 for a lifetime membership. They also offer a bevy of discounts on travel and entertainment, cable, Internet and satellite services, dental, vision and hearing packages, roadside assistance and more. American Seniors Association (AmericanSeniors.org): Founded in 2005 for people age 50 and older, this conservative organization is built on five foundations, which includes rebuilding national values, Social Security reform, Medicare reform, tax code reform and control of government overspending. Fees to join run $15 for one year, $25 for two or $35 for three years, and members receive access to a variety of benefit on travel, home and auto insurance, security services, health and wellness (medical, dental, vision and hearing) and more. Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC.us): With more than one million members, this organization was started in 2007 for people 50 and older. Their mission is to help seniors fight high taxes, reduce excessive government involvement in our day-to-day lives, and preserve American values. They also offer a host of benefits on home, health and auto insurance, travel, vision and dental care, prescription drugs, retail savings, roadside assistance and more. Membership fees run $16 per year, or less if you join for multiple years. The Seniors Coalition (Senior.org): Founded in 1990, this conservative public advocacy group claims to have around four million supporters. Their key issues are to protect Social Security benefits, stop Social Security payments to illegal aliens from Mexico, eliminate the death tax, and reform the Social Security COLA system. TSC offers very few membership benefits. Annual fees run $10 for one person per, or $13 per couple and you can join at any age. Some other senior membership organizations to consider that offer discounts include the non-for-profit American Senior Benefits Association (ASBAonline.org), and the conservative leaning National Association of Conservative Seniors (NAOCS.us), and Christian Seniors Association (CSAbenefits.site-ym.com). Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book. ran the Christmas Eve parade like a top for 25 years. Q: Why have you retired? A: I was a reserve officer for five years, from ’83 to ’88. I went to 31 years and two months as a full-time police officer. My last 18 years were my best – having two great K-9s. And the last three months, I caught myself every night, looking in the back seat, even though I was in a regular patrol car now, looking for my K-9 – my partner. I guess I just missed him and it was time for me to go onto retirement. Q: So, Bruin’s passing sort of sped up the process? A: Yes. I would absolutely say that. I really miss having my K-9 partner. Q: Will you still show up to the schools to read to the kids? A: I will do anything for kids. I love children. Officer Domenic Montano, as I mentioned earlier, he’s having a great car show on Saturday, Aug. 24, from noon to 6 p.m., at the Target store located at 400 Lynn Fells Parkway in Saugus. He’s got many stars and beautiful vehicles – the Celtics cheerleaders, the Hooters employees, so many restaurants involved. He’s got so many responses for this and he does a wonderful job. He’s trying to raise money for a K-9 memorial to, hopefully, be placed outside the Public Safety Building on the police side,in memory of all of the K-9s that served the Saugus Police Department. Q: Who are the dogs and the handlers who will be honored on this K-9 memorial? A: James Magill had Sampson; there was Ralph Nasuti who had Spike; Andrew Evlog and Hans; Roger Godfrey and Josh; Anthony Lopresti and Gaston; and I had Beny and Bruin. Q: And there was, like, a gap in-between your time as a K-9 officer and when the Saugus Police Department previously had a K-9 unit? A: Yes. I believe that the last K-9 unit was either the late ’70s or early ’80s. Q: Would this memorial include the names of all of the K-9s? A: Officer Montano has researched the past officers: Officers Magill, Officer Evlog, Officer M, Officer Godfrey, Lt. Lopresti and myself. I believe their names, along with the dogs’ names, will be placed on this memorial plaque. Q: And it will be out in front of the Public Safety Building? A: Hopefully. We’re trying to get permission to put that on the police side. It’s a granite monument. Officers Montano and Donahue and Cash, with the Saugus Police Patrolmen’s Union, have been doing all of Page 19 the legwork for months to get this show. Q: Anything else that you would like to share? A: I would just like to say to all of the good people in Saugus that I have come across – I hope I’ve never made enemies – but I hope that I have made a lot of friends. And I am blessed by the upbringing of my family: my mum, my dad, my sisters, my brothers, my wife, my children. I just want to let people know it was a great career. I am going to miss the people of Saugus, but I will still be around town. You can work traffic details if nobody else wants to work them. It’s been an honor and a privilege to be a member of the Saugus Police Department. Both past and present officers that I have worked with – they all have individual talents. It’s a hard job – very thankless sometimes – but I’m thankful for everything I have. I am a blessed person to have worked for the Town of Saugus and its citizens. 1.
