ITâ€™S CRIMINAL: Jerry Breen, the owner of Roller
World, Inc., at 425 R Broadway (Route 1 South) in
Saugus, stands on the back of his property near a
debris fi eld left by illegal dumpers. He says some
of the debris has spilled into a brook behind his
property. (Saugus Advocate photo by Mark E. Vogler)
Roller World, Inc., heâ€™s had to
deal with the dumpers periodically
for close to four decades.
His security cameras recently
caught several instances of
brazen dumping that Saugus
police and the state environmental
police are currently investigating.
â€œA
few years ago when this
happened, all I wanted was for
the guy to come back to pick
up his living room set and take
it someplace else,â€ Breen said.
â€œI donâ€™t want to prosecute
anyone. But I want to send a
message to people who think
this is a dumping ground here.
But if you keep on dumping,
Iâ€™m going to track you down
and the police will arrest you,â€
he said.
â€œI had a guy tell me that it
cost $900 to get rid of all of
these bags, rocks and furniture
that were dumped here. I run
a roller skating rink thatâ€™s been
closed for three months, so I
donâ€™t have $900 to give away
for this,â€ he said.
Separate dumping incidents
occurred on June 11 and June
14 at the back of Breenâ€™s property
near an embankment
that leads into a brook fl owing
through Breakheart Reservation.
Some of the rocks and
debris rolled into the water.
â€œYou would think that dumping
in a river is a pretty serious
thing â€“ an environmental violationâ€¦Weâ€™re
talking about bags
of cement, grass and rocks and
one of the cushions from the
couch,â€ he said.
Film from a security camera
captured two men unloading
a couch from the back of
a U-Haul truck at about 6 p.m.
on July 14. They dumped the
couch on the ground near a
dumpster. Although the license
plate number wasnâ€™t recognizable

Town announces road paving work will begin next week
own Manager Scott C. Crabtree
announced on Wednesday
that a series of pavement improvement
projects within several
areas of Saugus will soon be underway
as an eff ort to ensure that
the townâ€™s streets are in the best
possible condition.
â€œEnsuring and continuing to
improve the functionality and
safety of the Townâ€™s roadways
has always been of critical importance
to this administration,â€
said Crabtree in a statement issued
by his offi ce. â€œSafe roadways
improve traffi c fl ow and reduce
congestion and accidents, which
will benefi t Town residents and
visitors every day, making it easier
for everyone to get to where
they need to be.â€
The following streets will be undergoing
milling, overlay paving,
roadway reclamation and curb replacements
as part of the Town of
Saugusâ€™s road paving plan to improve
roadway safety and traffi c
fl ow: portions of Forest, Vine and
Walnut Streets, Adams and Clinton
Avenues and Harmon Road,
as well as the entirety of St. James
Road. The Department of Public
Works will oversee the work. Efforts
will begin on Monday (July
27) and will conclude by October,
weather permitting. Parking will
be limited in work zones during
construction, and traffi c detours
will be established as required to
allow for this work to reach completion.
Each
year under the Crabtree
Administration, the Town paves a
series of roadways as part of its ongoing
road paving plan. Last year
the Town paved Elmwood, Fairmount,
Adams and Orcutt Avenues
and Stone, Lewis, Landers,
Ballard and Forest Streets. During
2018 the town paved Alvah, Innis
and Mader Streets, Pleasant Avenue,
Howard Farm Lane and portions
of Elm, Plymouth and Walnut
Streets, Adams, Fairmount
and Williams Avenues and Morris
Place.
â€œIt is a top priority of this Board
of Selectmen and administration
to continue to make important
and benefi cial improvements to
our communityâ€™s infrastructure,â€
said Crabtree. â€œWe are happy to
continue to provide these services
to our residents and families of
Saugus.â€
The Town would like to thank
residents in advance for their
patience and cooperation during
this construction project. For
more information, please contact
the Department of Public Works at
781-231-4143.

High School Senior Class President
Kiley Ronan, who will be

tomorrow (Saturday, July 25)
morningâ€™s 149th Commencement
Exercises at Stackpole
Field. Kiley, who has been president
of the Class of 2020 during
all four years, agreed to do
the interview last Friday while
exercising social distancing
at a picnic table in the Saugus
Iron Works National Historic
Site. The interview focused
on the challenges that
Kiley and her classmates faced
after COVID-19 forced the closure
of schools statewide in early
March. She talked about the
legacy of this yearâ€™s graduates,
who she hopes â€œare remembered
for their perseverance.â€
Kileyâ€™s class has the distinction
of being the final one to
graduate from the recently demolished,
66-year-old Saugus
High School. Had it not been
for the Coronavirus pandemic,
the Class of 2020 would have
returned after April vacation to
spend its fi nal weeks in the High
School wing of the new Saugus
Middle-High School. But
the students fi nished their High
School education through remote
learning.
Kiley is considered the best
overall student in her class. She

Honor Society member
and is one of the top 20 students
in her class (with a 4.1 grade

MIAA Board votes to delay start of High
School Fall Sports season to Sept. 14
Hope remains for H.S. fall teams, though state
offi cials will have the fi nal say in August
By Steve Freker
igh school student-athletes
all across Massachusetts
who are hoping to get
out there and compete in fall
sports got a major boost Tuesday.
The Massachusetts Interscholastic
Athletic Association
(MIAA) Board of Directors
voted unanimously (180)
to accept the MIAA COVID-19
Task Forceâ€™s recommendation
to push back the start
of all fall sports until Monday,
Sept. 14.

tember, it would mean fall
athletics would not begin until
schools are back in session.
Most high schools in Massachusetts,
including those in
Everett, Malden, Revere and
Saugus, are scheduled to begin
classes between Sept. 1
and Sept. 8. The Sept. 14 start
date would also mean that is
the date supervised practices
and workouts might begin
with coaches working with
players. Games would not be
scheduled or held until at least
a week after that date, two
weeks or more for football, under
the proposal voted on by
the Board.
Even still, despite the MIAA
Boardâ€™s positive vote, the fate
of fall sports still lies with
guidelines still to be set and
released through Governor
Charlie Bakerâ€™s offi ce by the
Massachusetts Executive Office
of Energy and Environmental
Affairs (EEA) as well

mentary and Secondary Education
(DESE). MIAAâ€™s vote
represents positive progress,
but the state agencies will
announce sometime in early
August what fall sports, if
any, they determine can safely
be played at the high school
level.
At this time at least two major
fall sports, football and
soccer, are listed in a â€œLevel 3â€
category, under Gov. Bakerâ€™s
phased Reopening Plan. Level
3 sports, under the plan, are
designated as â€œhigher riskâ€ for
potential transmission of COVID-19
and, as stated at present,
games would not be allowed
at any point of Phase
III and would be considered
for Phase IV.
Gov. Baker has previously
announced that Massachusetts
remains in Phase III and
would not advance to Phase
IV (designated â€œReturn to Normalâ€)
until there is a COVID-19
vaccine. For fall sports games
to be played this season, a
change in that present stance
would have to be made and
advanced.
â€œIt was a truly positive move,
but there is still a lot of work
to do and a lot of decisions to
be made before we get to actually
beginning a fall sports
season,â€ said Malden Public
Schools Director of Athletics
Charlie Conefrey, who is a
fi rst-year member of the MIAA
Board of Directors.
Conefrey joined his colleagues
in approving the Task
Forceâ€™s recommendation. â€œEveryone
wants to see the student-athletes
out there participating
and competing in
athletics,â€ Conefrey said, â€œbut
the safety and health of all
involved â€“ students, coaches,
staff and families â€“ are the
number one priority. It would
have to be done safely; that is
the bottom line.â€
Also in question is whether
some fall sports, which are
categorized in lower risk levels,
such as golf and crosscountry,
might be allowed to
be played, while others in the
highest risk category, football
and soccer particularly,
might not be allowed. According
to sources, a number
of high school athletic directors
would be hesitant to allow
some sports to go forward
and others not allowed. Additionally,
there has been a recurrent
â€œI heard that...â€ rumor
the MIAA may be considering
fl ip-fl opping fall sports with
spring sports seasons for the
2020-21 school year, but this
proposition has not been offered
or discussed at all at the
MIAA level to date.
Fall athletics were originally
scheduled to begin for most
sports on Aug. 24, with football
starting Aug. 21.
In addition to the recommendation
to delay fall sports,
the MIAA Board of Directors
voted to accept two other
proposals put forward by the
Task Force. The Board agreed
to follow any guidelines established
by the state EEA and
DESE agencies regarding fall
athletics, and to meet again
following the release of the
guidance to make any further
announcements on fall sports.

COVID-19 cancels Cliftondale celebration
MEG Foundation and Cliftondale area businesses continue discussions of a future Merchants Celebration event
By Janice K. Jarosz
everal months ago, members
of the MEG Foundation
met with a group of businesspeople
from the Cliftondale
area to make plans to
sponsor a Merchants Celebration
event.
The first celebration event
was held prior to Saugus
Founders Day with Peter Rossetti
and several other businesspeople
joining together
in creating a plan for the proposed
celebration. At that fi rst
celebration, a portion of Lincoln
Avenue was closed for pedestrians,
a disk jockey played
music throughout the celebration
and games for the children
were held in the parking lots.
Merchants placed tables on
the sidewalks in front of their
stores. There was even a live elephant!
It was a very successful
event with a large crowd of
friends and families enjoying a
wonderful Saturday afternoon.
One of the initial plans for
the 2020 event was to recognize
the many longtime businesses
in Cliftondale Square.
Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus,
the fall date was cancelled,
but the committee will
continue to meet throughout
the next several months and,
hopefully, set a new date in
the future. Until then, we will,
throughout the year, recognize
the establishments that have,
for many years, continued to
maintain quality businesses in
Cliftondale Square.

Lomas Flowers celebrates
Christmas in July
There have been many studies
done on why fl owers make
people happy and, interestingly,
research has proven
that fl owers have an emotional
connection and are linked
to an immediate happiness of
a person. Studies also found
that when you receive a gift of
fl owers, for whatever the occasion,
you feel more cheerful
and more inclined to connect
with others. Flowers used in
social environments enhance
an event by creating a warm,
welcoming ambiance among
those attending. Being surrounded
by beautiful flowers
improves a personâ€™s happiness,
and that person becomes
more cheerful.
One such person who understands
all the many benefi
ts of fl owers is Paul LaCorcia,
co-owner of Lomas Flowers of
Cliftondale.
Marsha, his wife of almost 49
years, opened Lomas Flowers
approximately 38 years ago at
486 Lincoln Ave. At that time,
Cliftondale Square was a convenient
section of town to
shop. There was the Post Offi
ce, a bakery, a gift shop, hair
salons, Hoff manâ€™s Department
Store, the Tumble Inn, Lenaâ€™s
sub shop, a cobbler, a fiveand-dime
where you could
buy anything from a parakeet
to a package of clothespins, to
name a few.
Paul, the talented and welleducated
professional in the
floral business, and Marsha,
who is the business manager,
have enjoyed many successful
years at their location. Paul
travels to Chelsea to purchase
the flowers, and he designs
all the fl oral bouquets and arrangements,
always taking
special care with each order.
â€œTo this day, I still love my job
â€“ love the people and grateful
for the ability to continue to
work,â€ said Paul. â€œMy wife handles
the business end and runs
the gift section, which is very
popular. Marsha has the knack
of picking out special gifts and
collectables for every occasion
â€“ items you donâ€™t fi nd in larger
stores.â€
â€œMotherâ€™s Day is one of the
busiest holidays,â€ said Paul.
â€œBut up until a few years ago,
it was Valentineâ€™s Day. As it was
only a one-day holiday, husbands
and boyfriends would
stop by on their way home
from work for their wives or
girlfriends, and a good deal
of young boys came in to pick
out one rose for their special
girl. Valentineâ€™s Day was a romantic
time years ago.â€
Paul continued, â€œToday
Motherâ€™s Day and the Christmas
season remain busy along
with weddings and funerals. I
take pride in designing fl owers
for weddings as I want everything
perfect. Flowers add so
much to every occasion.â€
Lomas Flowers is celebrating
Christmas in July with
many personal gifts at half
price. Paul and Marsha invite
you to stop by to see the beautiful
gifts and fl ower arrangements.
They can help you pick
out that very special bouquet
of fl owers or special gift that
will please even the most discriminating
taste.

A police car that everyone will love
Local businessmen give a special gift to town: Saugus Police Car 66, a restored and remodeled police cruiser

antique police car parked on
the lawn in front of the Middleton
Police Station many times
over the years, Armene Missakiane
fi gured that the town

It took a few years to fi nd the
right car, restore and rebuild it
and convert it into a police cruiser
that would become a signature
part of the Saugus Police
Department fl eet. But after several
years of hunting for parts
and untold hours working on
the 1966 Ford Galaxie 500, fourdoor
sedan â€“ a special police
car now belongs to the people
of Saugus.
Missakiane, who is president
of A.M. Detail, Inc. of Salem
Turnpike, and his partner, Moisey
Brailovskiy, made the formal
gift presentation of Car 66
at Wednesday nightâ€™s Board of
Selectmenâ€™s meeting held by
Zoom videoconferencing.
Selectmen were
thrilled with the gift
â€œI want to thank you very
much for doing this for our town.
We sincerely appreciate it,â€ Selectman
Debra Panetta said.
â€œAdding this beautiful vehicle
to our fl eet is just such a treasure,â€
she added.
â€œWhat made you decide to
build this car and to donate it to
our town?â€ Panetta asked.

THIS ONEâ€™S FOR SAUGUS: Armen Missakiane and Moisey

restored and remodeled 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 â€“ which they
made into an old-fashioned police cruiser â€“ as a gift for the
town. (Courtesy photos to The Saugus Advocate)
It cost two years and
$40,000 to build
Board of Selectmen Chair
Anthony Cogliano, in an interview
later, called the car â€œamazingâ€
while lauding its creators.
â€œIâ€™ve been watching the progress
since I was elected in November.
They did an outstanding
job with the car. Everything
about the vehicle is mint condition
with original parts,â€ Cogliano
said. â€œThey did add some
modern conveniences, like power
steering, brakes and air-conditioning.
They also installed a
modern siren system. I canâ€™t wait
to get the fi rst ride in it. Armene
and Moisey are true gentlemen
and went above and beyond
with this restoration. On behalf
of the Town of Saugus, I commend
them for a job well done.â€
Selectman Jeff rey Cicolini noted
the car would be ideal for parade
as well as education. He
suggested the construction of a
special board that would be inscribed
with the carâ€™s history and
what the men did to restore it.
Selectmen Vice Chair Corinne
Riley said the town will get a lot
of use out of the old vehicle. â€œThe
classic cars â€“ thereâ€™s just no replacing
them,â€ Riley said.
In an interview Wednesday
night, Missakiane said he and
Brailovskiy found the car several
years ago at an auction in the
Atlanta, Ga., area. â€œIt took about
two years and $40,000 to restore
and rebuild it,â€ he said. â€œWe had
to restore the engine, the transmission
and other units. The car
was not salvaged. It had sustained
a fire under the hood.
But the rest of the car was okay,â€
he said. â€œWhen we found the car
at auction, I told the town manager
[Scott C. Crabtree], and he
supported us and passed us on
to the Police Department. Former
Chief [Domenic] DiMella approved
the project and we started
work on it at my shop at 20
Salem Turnpike.â€
Jacobo Deleon, an employee
at A.M. Detail, Inc., was also involved
in the project.
There is a good reason why
Missakiane and Brailovskiy went
great distances to fi nd the right
car, which was a private vehicle
that wasnâ€™t used for police
work. â€œVehicles down there [in
the southern part of the country]
are not as corroded as much
as up here. Maybe they have fi ve
percent rust,â€ Missakiane said.
â€œWe restored everything to
brand-new condition, and we
put heavy rust-proofi ng on it.
This particular vehicle was very
diffi cult to work on because no
body parts were available. We
spent a lot of time to locate the
correct parts,â€ he said. â€œEvery single
bolt and nut on that vehicle
was cleaned up. Every single
piece on that vehicle was
restored.â€
From Russia with love
came the car clock
The car has 72,000 original
miles on it. The restoration work
involved trips to Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania and other states
to fi nd suitable parts to replace
worn-out ones and to add to
the car.
Missakiane, a Saugus resident
since 2007, is of Armenian
descent and immigrated to the
United States from Russia in
1995. He used his Russian connections
to fi nd a suitable clock
for the car. â€œThe clock in the vehicle
wasnâ€™t working, so I called
one of my friends in Russia,â€ Missakiane
said. â€œHe shipped me
a clock from Russia that is the
same as whatâ€™s used in Russian
police cruisers.â€
Car 66 â€“ named after the year
it was built â€“ was fi nally completed
about a month ago. Now
Missakiane hopes the Police Department
will fi nd a 22-foot-by10-foot
spot to park it. The car is
15 feet long and 6 feet wide. He
has off ered to garage it at his
shop on Route 107 during the
wintertime if the town needs a
place to store it.
â€œWe love the town. We do respect
the older citizens. This gift
is for everyone who lives in Saugus,â€
Missakiane said. â€œOriginally,
when we started this project, we
said that when we fi nished it, we
would dedicate it to the Town of
Saugus â€“ not just the Police Department
â€“ so, hereâ€™s to Saugus.â€

on the security camera, Breen
said a Saugus police offi cer noticed
a distinctive fl ying bat on
the side of the truck, which he
was able to locate at a local
business.
â€œHopefully, police will be
able to fi nd out the guy who
rented the truck being used
at the time [of the dumping],
Breen said.
Police Chief Michael Ricciardelli
said a lack of resolution
for the license tag number
makes it a more diffi cult
case to solve. Nevertheless,
he said itâ€™s an active investigation.

â€œThere are 57 bags that say
Rockyâ€™s Ace Hardware on
them,â€ Breen said. He noted
that one of the bags contained
some potential evidence that
could lead police to a Saugus
work site where the trash originated.
Breen
recalled that he once
had gates installed at the back
of his property to block people
from dumping trash and construction
debris. But town offi
cials considered it a potential
safety hazard, so Breen
said he was told to take the
gates down.
â€œItâ€™s the perfect place to dump
stuff after hours when nobody
is watching. But with the help of
the police, weâ€™re hoping to put
a stop to that,â€ he said.
Offi cer Carmine Cicolini of
the Saugus Police Department
is investigating the dumping

information that may help
investigators solve the case
should call Saugus Police at

known as â€œOld Ironsides.â€ She
had a wooden hull, with three
masts, a heavy frigate of the US
Navy berthed in Pier 1 of the former
Charlestown Navy Yard at
one end of The Freedom Trail. The
mission of the ship these days is
to promote understanding of the
US Navyâ€™s role in war and peace,
through educational outreach,
historical demonstration and active
participation in public events
as part of the Naval History & Heritage
Command. Old Ironsides is
today fully commissioned with a
crew of 60 Navy active-duty personnel
that participates in ceremonies,
educational programs
and special events, and is kept
open to the public year-round.
The Naval Act of 1797 authoT
rized
the construction of six frigates,
and the USS Constitution
was the third to be constructed.
Secretary of War Timothy
Pickering submitted 10 vessel
names to President Washington
in March of 1795 for naming the
frigates. Joshua Humphreys designed
the six frigates to be larger
and more heavily armed than
traditional frigates of this period.
The Constitution was built in the
shipyard of Edmund Hartt in Bostonâ€™s
North End. The shipâ€™s hull
was built 21 inches thick and required
60 acres of trees, pine and
oak, including southern live oak
from St. Simons, Georgia.
It was built with 44 guns, had
a tonnage of 1,576 and a displacement
of 2,200 tons. It was
longer than the standard of frigates
with a length of 304 feet
stem to stern. The beam was 43
feet 6 inches and the main-mast
soared 220 feet. With three masts
she had a speed of 13 knots and
a complement of 450, including
55 Marines and 30 boys. For armaments
the Constitution carried
30 24-pounder long guns, 20
32-pounder carronades and two
24-pounder bow chasers.
The fi rst duty was to provide
protection for American merchant
shipping during the Quasi-War
with France and to defeat
the Barbary pirates in the First
Barbary War. The Barbary pirates
started seizing American merchant
vessels in the Mediterranean
Sea from the port of Algiers
in 1785. In 1793, 11 American
ships were captured by pirates
â€“ with the crews and stores
held for ransom.
In 1807 the British ship Leopard
attacked the USS Chesapeake,
killing three Americans and injuring
18, and four sailors went
on trial for desertion. Fifteen days
earlier the HMS Guerriere captured
the USS Spitfi re off Sandy
Point, New Jersey. Secretary
of the Navy Paul Hamilton had
ordered the USS President and
the USS Argus to patrol coastal
areas from the Carolinas to New
York. Commodore John Rodgers,
who commanded the President,
had heard of the Guerriere
attack, and sailing off the Virginia
Capes northward sighted a British
vessel he believed to be the
Guerriere sailing south. Rodgers
pursued the English ship, the Little
Belt, and soon engaged into
battle. Within 15 minutes the Little
Beltâ€™s guns were put out of action.
There was disparity among
both ships: The Little Belt was far
smaller than the President and
suff ered the most damage. The
Little Belt was off ered space in
any American port for repairs, but
it proceeded north to the North
American Station in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, while the President sailed
to New York City. The President
suff ered only one sailor injured;
the Little Belt had nine dead and
23 injured, two fatally. Both nations
argued about the encounter
for many years.
During the War of 1812 against
Britain, the Constitution captured
many merchant ships and defeated
fi ve British warships: HMS
Guerriere, Java, Pictou, Cyane and
Levant. The battle with the British
frigate, Guerriere, brought
about the nickname of â€œOld Ironsides.â€
On August 19, 1812, with
the war going on the HMS Guerriere
sailed into an ill-fated action
against the Constitution.
Painted across the topsail of the
British ship were the words â€œNOT
THE LITTLE BELT,â€ but she felt the
same fate. After exchanging fi re
the Constitution was maneuvered
into an advantageous position
within 25 yards of the opponent.
The American captain,
Hull, ordered a full double-loaded
broadside of grape and round
shot, which removed the Guerriereâ€™s
mizzenmast, which hampered
her movement, and the
British ship collided with the Constitution,
leaving the Britsâ€™ bow
guns incapable of eff ective fi re.
The two ships rotated together
and both captains ordered
boarding parties, but the swelling
seas made this impossible.
When the ships fi nally became
unhinged, shot waves tore Guerriereâ€™s
rigging and the mainmast
fell. The British surrendered. The
Guerriere was badly damaged
and Hull ordered her burned; the
British crew were taken aboard,
and the Constitution sailed to
Boston, where the captain and
crew were hailed as heroes.
The Constitution next faced
the HMS Java off the coast of
SÃ£o Salvador, destroyed the British
ship and took the prisoners
to Boston for repairs again. Constitution
required massive repairs,
and shortages of necessary
equipment kept her in Boston
along with her sister ships â€“
Chesapeake, Congress and President
â€“ for most of the year. The
Americans were concentrating
on the Great Lakes, so little was
done for the Atlantic fl eet.
Charles Stewart was named
commander of the Constitution,
and when repairs were
completed, he set sail on New
Yearâ€™s Eve for the West Indies.
The object was to harass British
shipping, and the ship captured
fi ve British merchant ships and
the HMS Pictou by late March
1814. The mainmast split off
the coast of Bermuda, requiring
immediate repair. Stewart
set a course for Boston pursued
by two British ships: the
HMS Junon and the HMS Tenedos.
To increase speed, Stewart
ordered drinking water and
food to be cast overboard, and
the Constitution was able to
outrun the pursuers and landed
at Marblehead, Massachusetts.
The people of Marblehead
gave the Constitution their cannons
from Fort Sewell, and after
two weeks Stewart set sail for
Boston. Stewart was blockaded
in Boston as the British Royal
Navy sent the 50-gun HMS
Leander with a fl eet to North
America to stop the American
frigates attacking British shipping.
Stewart saw a chance to
escape the blockade and set
sail for Bermuda on December
18. With the British in pursuit,
Stewart managed to keep
ahead. On December 24 he intercepted
the British merchantman,
Lord Nelson, and placed
a prize crew aboard, and the
Constitution celebrated Christmas
dinner with the stores taken
from the British ship.
Although Stewart was aware
that The Treaty of Ghent had
been signed, he realized that war
remained until the treaty was ratifi
ed. He captured the merchantman
Susanna on February 16; the
animal hides taken had a value
of $75,000. Stewart sighted the
small British ships Cyane and Levant
sailing together and gave
chase. The British began a series
of broadsides against the Constitution,
and the Levant was forced
to withdraw for repairs. Stewart
concentrated fi re on the Cyane
and the British soon withdrew
her colors. However, the Levant
had returned, and Stewart overtook
her and after several more
broadsides the British struck colors.
The three ships were repaired
and proceeded now as American
fl eet to the Cape Verde Islands,
arriving at Porto Praya on March
10. Stewartâ€™s squadron was sighted
by a British squadron and set
sail. Cyane was able to elude the
British and reached America on
April 10. The Levant was overtaken
and recaptured by the British.
The Constitution sailed towards
Guinea, then west towards Brazil.
The Constitution arrived in MaranhÃ£o
on April 2 and heard of the
ratifi cation of the treaty, so he removed
the prisoners and set sail
for America, arriving in New York
on May 15 amid a large celebration
for the action of the Constitution.
The
Constitution became part
of the Mediterranean Squadron
in April 1820 for a three-year tour.
She collided with the British merchant
ship Bicton in the Mediterranean;
the Bicton sank along
with her captain. The commanding
officer, Jacob Jones, had a
reputation as being very lax in
discipline, and the ship was ordered
to return to Boston, where
Jones was relieved of command

The Constitution sailed
for the Mediterranean as part of
a convoy under the command of
John Rodgers, who was delighted
to see his former ship as part
of the group. The Constitution
required extensive repairs in the
Mediterranean and fi nally set sail
for Boston, arriving on the Fourth
of July, 1828, then it was placed
in reserve.
The Constitution did much
more action which I will relate in
a further article. Bostonians are
very proud of their heroic vessel
and often visit the ship to view
the historic vessel.

they did and they deserve that.
And the principal and advisors

bered for their perseverance,
because I donâ€™t want people
to think that they feel sorry
for us because we graduated
through a pandemic â€“ that
weâ€™re facing so much adversity
right now, even going to
college. I want them to know
that weâ€™re stronger than all of
this stuff thatâ€™s happened and
that the Class of 2020 made the
best of what they could.
Q: During the pandemic did
you have to make adjustments
as the class president?
A: Yes. During this pandemic
I was meeting with my advisors
and the principal and administration
through Zoom
[meetings through videoconferencing].
We were having
meetings discussing the Prom,
Awards Night and Graduation
and how to make Senior Week
events happen. It was just different.
Normally, those would
be in-school meetings or just
going to their rooms to talk to
them, but, given the circumstances,
things had to change.
Q: You feel that the school
administration and School Department
administration kept
you in the loop on important
issues?
A: Oh yes, definitely; they
did. My advisor was constantly
texting me and telling me
all the new updates: what can
happen and what canâ€™t happen.
My principal did a great
job of making sure I was involved,
because they wanted
a studentâ€™s opinion to make
sure we were getting what we
wanted and what we deserved
â€“ all that stuff. But yes, they
have been great.
Q: Whatâ€™s it going to be like
next Saturday morning [tomorrow,
July 25]?

A: Saturday is going to look
like everybody is wearing a
mask â€“ students and everybody
else, and we are allowed
two guests per student. The
microphone is going to be
cleaned in between speakers.
Weâ€™re going to be 10 feet apart.
Social distancing is happening.
Weâ€™ll pretty much be following
all of the guidelines and making
the best of the situation.
Q: So, thatâ€™s 10 a.m. sharp at
Stackpole Field?
A: Yes.
Q: And other than the caps
and gowns, everybody has a
mask.
A: Yes, so it will be cap and
gown â€“ and part of it will be
the mask.
Q: Is it free-form with the
mask â€“ whatever the student
wants? Or is it going to be red
and white, the school colors?
A: Everybody is going to be
given the same kind of mask,
but I donâ€™t think they will be
required to wear it. I think they
can wear whatever they want,
but they all will be getting a
â€œClass of 2020â€ mask.
Q: So, what does it look like?
A: I think they are black and
red and white. I think it says

â€œ2020.â€ I think it has a Sachem
head on it, or something like
that.
Q: So, itâ€™s going to be something
unique, something like a
keepsake?
A: Yes, so even if they donâ€™t
want to wear it, they can put
it away and keep it for memories.
I donâ€™t know if they want
to remember this stuff [COVID-19],
but if they do, they have
the mask.
Q: So, would you call this
yearâ€™s graduation sort of the
marquee event for this yearâ€™s
seniors?
A: Yes, I would say, defi nitely
â€“ through all of this going on at
the end of our senior year; a lot
of things were cancelled. And
I think graduation day being
replanned is defi nitely something
we have all been looking
forward to.
Q: So, this yearâ€™s commencement
will be a bigger boost
than in past years?
A: Yeah. Defi nitely. I think itâ€™s
going to look diff erent than in
past years, but I think itâ€™s going
to be â€¦ maybe more of a
big deal.
Q: Yes, that does make sense.
Any other special things you
are privy to that you can talk
about? Or are there some surprises?
A:
I donâ€™t know if there are
any surprises. I know we will
be seeing our Senior Video
through a drive-in at the mall,
so thatâ€™s something weâ€™re all
excited about. I think weâ€™re
working on getting snacks, and
kids can come in their cars and
watch Senior Videos, so that
should be a lot of fun.
Q: And thatâ€™s happeningâ€¦
A: Yeah, that is happening
next week [this week], I think
on Tuesday.
Q: In the midst of this pandemic,
whatâ€™s the most interesting
thing that you will remember
as being class president,
maybe something you
had to deal with or observed?
A: Thatâ€™s a tough one. The
most interesting thing â€“ I think
the most interesting thing is
going to be graduation, just
because Iâ€™ve attended every
graduation before mine; I
know what a typical graduation
looks like, but I have no
idea what ours is going to look
like. And we also wonâ€™t be able
to do a rehearsal before the
graduation, which normally
you do â€“ two to three days
of rehearsals. Itâ€™s going to be
something, like, weâ€™re going
to have to fi gure out as we go,
and I donâ€™t necessarily think
thatâ€™s a bad thing. I think itâ€™s
going to be a lot of fun.
Q: And you are only allowed
two guests?
A: Yes. Two guests per student.

2019-20 school year last August. Kiley is standing in the middle
rear, just behind the center stand to the goal post at Stackpole
Field. (Courtesy Photo to The Saugus Advocate)
Q: So what happens with
other family members, besides
the parents? Like, you have
three brothers.
A: Yes. Weâ€™re leaving the
brothers home, thatâ€™s for sure.
And honestly, I donâ€™t know if
theyâ€™re sad about it.
Q: I was wondering if they
had something set up where
folks who couldnâ€™t be at Stackpole
could view it at another
location.
A: They might be working on
it. I think they might be working
on two more guests, so it
could be four guests per family,
but right now, itâ€™s just two.
And I think they are working
on getting it on some sort of
TV channel, like a video recording
â€“ something like that.
Even if itâ€™s not live, it will be prerecorded
so you can at least
watch it later.
Q: If itâ€™s just two guests, I
guess Nana and Grampy are
going to be upset.
A: I know. I know. A lot of
people are missing out. Itâ€™s not
fair, but Iâ€™m just grateful that
we get two [passes for guests].
You want people in the stands,
so at least you get somebody.
Q: And, in most cases itâ€™s going
to be mom and dad.
A: Yeah. The two closest people
to you, whoever you want
that to be.
Q: Okay. Letâ€™s talk about
what youâ€™re going to do after
you graduate.
A: So, after I graduate, I will
be attending the College of the
Holy Cross and I am going to be
majoring in Psychology on the
Pre-Health track. And Iâ€™m hoping
to go to graduate school to
become a physical therapist.
Q: Now, do you have anyone
in your family who has been to
Holy Cross?
A: No, I donâ€™t. I toured that
school, and right when I was
there, I loved it. It was my top
choice. It was also my â€œreach
school,â€ so it was like I wasnâ€™t
positive that I was going to get
in. And I did and Iâ€™m so happy
Iâ€™m going there.
Q: How many schools did
you apply to?
A: I think I applied to five,
maybe, but I was honestly unsure
about Holy Cross, like I
didnâ€™t know if I was going to
get in. And when I was accepted,
I knew that was the school I
was going to be going to.
Q: Now, you got a scholastic
scholarship. Did you get an
athletic scholarship, too?
A: No, I didnâ€™t â€“ just scholastic.
Iâ€™m hoping that once I get
there, I can maybe walk onto a
team or play club. Iâ€™m defi nitely
hoping to continue in sports
somehow.
Q: Thatâ€™s probably not going
to happen in the fall, with collegiate
sports being shut down
at a lot of places.
A: No, itâ€™s defi nitely not going
to happen in the fall, so
maybe I will shoot for next year.
Q: Now, one of the good
things that I have observed in
the past â€“ those community
and public service projects involving
the senior class â€“ has
the pandemic kind of clamped
down on that, because of the
social distancing?
A: Yeah. A lot of things within
our community have been
cancelled. But now, with some
restrictions being lifted, I know
that some things are starting
back up again, so hopefully, we
will get to normal.
Q: Has there been, like, a special
public service project that
has prevailed which was attached
to this yearâ€™s graduating
class?
A: What sort of public service?
Q:
Well, you have Founders
Day. I know you raise money
every time people throw a ball
at a target, trying to make a
seat collapse and knock somebody
down into the dunk tank.
A: Yeah. We did that at the
beginning of our senior year,
so that actually went well for
us, so Iâ€™m grateful we were able
to do that, but we really didnâ€™t
have anything planned toward
the end of the year. And then,
obviously with this all happening,
we didnâ€™t get to plan anything.
Q:
Have you been doing a lot
of Zoom, staying in touch with
other students, particularly
members of the Student Council
and other class leaders?
A: Yeah. Towards the end of
the school year, we were doing
weekly meetings, just keeping
everybody updated, because
everything was up in the air;
we werenâ€™t sure what was going
to happen. We wanted to
make sure everyoneâ€™s opinion
was involved â€“ and making
sure everyone was happy
â€“ just keeping everybody
in the loop, mainly, because
when people donâ€™t know anything,
they get frustrated and
they feel like nothing is going
on. But we really were trying to
make things happen for them.
Q: As you look back on your
school career at Saugus High,
give me a couple of things that
you are proudest of.
A: Iâ€™m proudest of â€“ defi nitely
â€“ the way we handled this situation.
You interviewed me in
August, and I would have never
expected this is how we would
be doing another interview at
the end of the year. I donâ€™t think
anybody expected our senior
year would be ending like
this, so just the way they handled
things, like the â€œZoomsâ€
we were talking about. Everyone
seemed to be really positive
and optimistic â€“ all just trying
to get creative and think of
things we can do, so defi nitely
that. And Iâ€™m proud of how we
handled school when we were
in it. I think we actually made
the most of it: Sports teams excelled;
Drama Club; we got the
most out of it while we were
there. And I think we defi nitely
cherished our time there.
Q: The other student leaders
I talked to â€¦ they said they
felt more of a closeness out of
necessity. Itâ€™s almost, like, the
class had a huge chip on its
shoulder because it didnâ€™t get
the respect and recognition â€“
which translated into action
by the town â€“ things like the
banners around town with the
photos of every senior class
member of Saugus High.
A: Oh, defi nitely. Personally,
I feel so honored [by the banners].
I think they [town offi -
cials] did a great job â€“ the banners
on the light poles and our
names on a billboard â€“ they did
a great job honoring us; I defi -
nitely think so. And I think this
[the COVID-19 pandemic] will
unite the Class of 2020 â€“ not
just in the Saugus community
â€“ but all communities. The
Class of 2020 is always going
to be remembered.
Q: What do you want to be
when you grow up?
A: When I grow up, I want to
be a physical therapist.
Q: Any specialty?
A: Right now, just a physical
therapist. Once I get more
into school and college, Iâ€™ll get
a more direct way of where I
want to go. But for right now,
Iâ€™m just hoping to be a physical
therapist with a psych
background, because I want
to make sure that â€¦ I think
the mental has a lot to do with
the physical, so you can understand
whatâ€™s going on in their
[the patientsâ€™] minds and to
help them physically feel better;
so defi nitely, I want to help
people. Itâ€™s what I hope to do
when Iâ€™m older.
Q: And your volunteer work
during High School?
A: During my High School
career, I was involved in the
National Honor Society Class
Board.
Q: I meant particular volunteer
activities around town, like
doing something at the Senior
Center.
A: We did a Senior Citizen
Senior Prom last year through
the National Honor Society.
We were going to do the same
thing this year, but things got
cut short. And we did Relay For
Life last year for the National
Honor Society, and I think it
happened virtually this year.
Just a lot of changes, but we
definitely had some service
projects in line.
Q: Whatâ€™s been your inspiration
to get through this tough
time? Like somebody you look
up to as a role model?
A: Definitely, my mom â€“ I
think not only during these
times â€“ but sheâ€™s just so positive.
Even with all of the senior
stuff getting canceled,
sheâ€™s just done a great job
in trying to brainstorm with
me on the things we can do.
And I think she has always
inspired me â€“ just, like, how
she handles situations. She
just makes the tough times
easier. Definitely.
Q: Thatâ€™s good. So, sheâ€™s obviously
going to be one of the
two guests that you will have
there at graduation.
A: Yeah, she is defi nitely one
of the two that I have invited.
Q: Anything else that you
would like to share to tell the
people of Saugus about this
yearâ€™s Saugus High graduates?
How should this class be remembered?
A:
Just for the Class of 2020 â€“
I think we have cherished our
time at Saugus High and have
done the best we could. This
is not how we expected it to
end, but I think we are going
to be better for it. I think weâ€™ve
learned some life lessons that
will be with us for adulthood
and entering the real world. I
think we had to grow up earlier
than we wanted to, but I
think we are going to be better
for it â€“ defi nitely.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE â€“ Friday, July 24, 2020
Saugus gardens in the pandemic
Hereâ€™s whatâ€™s blooming in town this week to make your walks more enjoyable
By Laura Eisener
A
great place in town to see
interesting trees, shrubs
and perennials is Saugus Ironworks
National Park on the
banks of the Saugus River. Its
plantings include native species
reintroduced along the riverbank,
an herb garden originally
designed in the 1970s to
showcase species important
in the 17th century, ornamental
trees and shrubs on the upper
lawn and an intriguing mixture
of trees, shrubs and vines
along the nature walk in the
lower section of the property.
This year the grounds have
been open so people can walk
around and view outside features,
walk on the nature trail
and observe the birds on the
river from the dock and the
casting bridge, but this is the
first week in 2020 that there
have been rangers on the site.
One of the trees most commented
on is a woody plant
known as European smoke
tree. It is on the front lawn of
the Appleton-Taylor-Mansfi
eld House, just to the right of
the front door as you enter the
site. It is also known as smoke
bush, because it usually starts
out multi-stemmed rather than
single-stemmed, and at a 20
foot mature height its size is
right on the edge of where we
distinguish trees from shrubs.
I have also heard it called â€œThe
Fluff y Tree,â€ which describes it
perfectly through the summer.
It has fl uff y, beige infl orescences
that look like smoke. The
fl owers themselves are yellowish
and tiny, blooming in June,
but the hairy peduncles (fl ower
stalks) remain all summer,
and at this point in July have
a few small, hard, beige fruits
that each contain a single seed.
Look closely, and each â€œpuff â€ of
smoke has one or two tiny, fl at
dots which are the seeds. Old
names for this shrub include
Venetian sumac, dyersâ€™ sumac
and young fustic, all referring
to the yellow-orange dye made
from its wood which was popular
up until the mid-19th century
when synthetic dyes became
available. Smoke tree is
in the same family, the cashew
family (Anacardiaceae), as sumac,
but most people will not
have an adverse skin reaction
to smoke tree as they might to
poison sumac (Toxicodendron
vernix). Smoke tree has distinctive
blue green oval leaves, very
diff erent than the compound
leaves of sumac.
A few years ago when I volunteered
as a weeder in the Saugus
Ironworks herb garden, I
noticed a visiting family absolutely
enthralled by â€œThe Fluff y
Treeâ€ â€“ they danced around it,
took many pictures of themselves
with it and eventually
came and asked me if I knew
what it was called. It was fun to
see a whole family show such
enthusiasm when they encounter
an unfamiliar tree! Iâ€™m sure
there were other things they
liked about their visit, but there
was no doubt that everyone in
that family would remember
â€œThe Fluff y Treeâ€ with delight
for decades to come, and they
told me theyâ€™d be checking out
nurseries to buy one to plant in
their own garden to remember
their vacation.
One of the features that
makes the Ironworks plant
somewhat unusual is that it
is not the purple leafed variety
(Cotinus coggygria, â€˜Royal
Purpleâ€™), which is widely available
in nurseries and which has
been planted in many gardens
in Saugus. The purple leafed
variety is very striking, the peduncles
also a purplish color,
so it is dramatic contrast to the
green foliage of most garden
shrubs and trees that may be
growing around it. Also availâ€œTHE
FLUFFY TREEâ€: Smoke
tree at Saugus Ironworks,
when in bloom in June, has
fluffy, beige inflorescences
that look like smoke. (Courtesy
photos to The Saugus
Advocate by Laura Eisener)
able is a variety with golden
leaves from spring to fall (Cotinus
coggygria, â€˜Golden Spiritâ€™)
and pale pink to beige infl
orescences in summer.
A close relative, American
smoke tree (Cotinus obovatus),
is more diffi cult to fi nd in nurseries
or gardens. It is very similar
with larger oval leaves and
similar â€œsmokeâ€ in summer. The
Native American species has a
nice orange-yellow fall foliage
while the European smoke tree
does not have spectacular fall
color. European smoke trees
are monoecious, which means
male and female flowers occur
on a single plant. American
smoke tree is dioecious,
which means male and female
fl owers are on separate plants,
so you usually need two diff erent
plants for seeds to be produced.
A
beautiful orange perennial
blooming in many Saugus
gardens â€“ including mine â€“ this
week is butterfl y weed (Asclepias
tuberosa), which is sometimes
known as pleurisy root.
It can be found in several places
at the Ironworks, including
the slope leading down to the
industrial buildings. It became
popular recently because it
attracts pollinators, especially
butterfl ies, has an attractive
fl ower and is better behaved

beautiful orange perennial â€“
called butterfl y weed â€“ grows
on the hillside at the Saugus
Ironworks. Itâ€™s blooming in

week.
in a garden than the common
milkweed (Asclepias syriacus),
which may be the best butterfl
y plant. Butterfl y weed was
2017 Perennial Plant of the Year
because of its many garden attributes,
including resistance to
deer and other pests.
One of Robert Frostâ€™s early
poems, â€œThe Tuft of Flowers,â€
tells of a clump of butterfl
y weed spared from the mowerâ€™s
blade one morning, which
Frost and a butterfl y arrive to
appreciate later in the day. I fi rst
read this poem for a paper in
Mr. Reganâ€™s English class at Saugus
High and it stuck with me.
Monarch butterfl ies and several
moth species lay their eggs
on butterfly weed and the
hatched caterpillars can live on
the plant, but it is not the preferred
larval food. It does not
convey the level of protection
from predators and disease
that a diet of milkweed conveys
with the cardenolides in
its sap. If you break a stem, you
will notice that butterfl y weedâ€™s
sap is clear, not milky like milkweed.
Still, it provides ample
nectar for many butterfl ies, including
monarch, as well as for
hummingbirds and other pollinators.
Butterfl y weed fl owers
are usually tangerine orange although
some cultivated varieties,
such as â€˜Butterfl ies Mixed,â€™
may have reddish or yellowish
fl owers, and â€˜Hello Yelloâ€™ has
bright yellow rather than orange
fl owers. It can be expected
to bloom for several weeks
in July in sunny locations. Once
the fl owers pass, it will develop
follicles pointed at each end
but somewhat narrower than
those of common milkweed.
These split to disperse seeds
with fl uff y â€œsilkâ€ called comas
attached that help them fl oat a
distance from the parent plant.
It makes a very good cut fl ower
unlike milkweed species with a
thicker sap, and it can be paired
well in an arrangement with
other fl owers and foliage.
The slopes of the Ironworks
also have many common milkweed
plants, so this is one of
the places in Saugus where
monarch butterfl ies are most
likely to be found. When I visited
the Ironworks this week, I
did see a monarch fl ying from
one milkweed to another. Unlike
butterfl y weed, the fl owers
of milkweed are pale pinkish
and arranged in a sphere,
but if you look closely at individual
blossoms you will see
that they have a very similar
shape to the butterfly weed
fl owers. The milkweed is much
taller and its leaves are a paler
green, much larger and rounded
at the ends unlike the narrow
dark green foliage of butterfl
y weed.

Town receives $360K CDBG-CV program grant to help businesses hurt by COVID-19
(Editorâ€™s Note: The following
info is from a press release issued
this week by Town Manager
Scott Crabtreeâ€™s Offi ce.)
S
augus Town Manager Scott
C. Crabtree announced that
the state Department of Housing
and Community Development
(DHCD) has awarded the
Town of Saugus a grant of up to
$360,000 through the Community
Development Block Grant
COVID-19 opportunity (CDBGCV)
program to provide fi nancial
assistance to local small businesses
that are being negatively
impacted as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic. This funding
will provide the necessary resources
for the Town to provide
grants of up to $10,000 per business
to qualifying microenterprises
(a commercial enterprise
that has fi ve or fewer employees
in which one or more of whom
owns the enterprise) adversely
impacted by COVID-19.
The Town Manager, Board of
Selectmen and Town officials
investigated and researched
funding opportunities in order
to provide microenterprise
assistance to help address impacts
due to these unprecedented
times. Offi cials applied
for aid and were awarded up
to $360,000, made available
through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief
and Economic Security Act
of 2020 (CARES Act) to DHCD by
the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD)
via amendment to the existing
DHCD CDBG FY2019 One Year
Action Plan.
â€œI am extremely grateful that
Governor Charlie Baker, Lieutenant
Governor Karyn Polito,
and the Department of Housing
and Community Development
awarded the Town of Saugus
this grant funding to support
our communityâ€™s small businesses,
many of which have been
devastated during these diffi -
cult times,â€ said Crabtree. â€œThis fi -
nancial assistance will provide us
with the necessary resources to
help some of our business community,
which has always served
as the Townâ€™s partner. The Town
is extremely grateful to the business
community and the commercial
taxpayers [along with
the residents and the MSBA]
for its substantial contribution
in funding for the District-Wide
Master Plan Solution which includes
the new 6-12 Middle
High School and renovations to
the current Belmonte and Veterans
Memorial Schools.â€
The CDBG-CV opportunity
supports communities across
the Commonwealth in their
work to provide vital services
to low-income residents and
small businesses affected by
COVID-19.
The Townâ€™s Offi ce of Planning
and Economic Development, in
conjunction with the Town Managerâ€™s
Office, will oversee the
implementation of this grant
and subsequent distribution of
funds to eligible small businesses.
Eligible small businesses that
are interested in applying for assistance
should contact the Offi
ce of Planning and Economic
Development at 781-231-4045.

Over 200 community, labor and religious groups call for
Emergency Housing Stability Bill
W
ith the Massachusetts eviction
and foreclosure moratorium
currently set to expire
on August 18 and the legislative
session expected to end July 31,
over 200 community, labor and
religious organizations have
signed a letter to House Speaker
Robert DeLeo, Senate President
Karen Spilka and Governor Charlie
Baker urging them to pass An
Act to guarantee housing stability
during the COVID-19 emergency
and recovery.
The bill is sponsored by 89
members of the state legislature,
which is nearly half of its
members. Proponents say it
is the only way to head off an
enormous wave of evictions
when the current moratorium
ends. The stateâ€™s eviction/foreclosure
moratorium was enacted
in April in response to the
COVID-19 crisis; State Housing

lord advocates predict up to
20,000 eviction cases as soon
as it ends. The expiration of increased
unemployment payments
under the federal CARES
Act on July 31 will put even
more tenants at risk.
With new data showing the
disproportionate impact of
evictions on Black people and
communities of color in Massachusetts,
and one million state
residents still unemployed, the
billâ€™s advocates warn that failure
to pass it will exacerbate
existing inequities, further entrench
systemic racism, harm
public health and do tremendous
harm to the very areas
that have been hardest hit by
COVID-19.
An Act to guarantee housing
stability during the COVID-19
emergency and recovery was
fi led by Representative Kevin
Honan, who is the chairperson
of the Legislatureâ€™s Joint Committee
on Housing, and Representative
Mike Connolly in
the House (HD.5166), and by
Senator Pat Jehlen in the Senate
(SD.2992). The bill includes
provisions to protect renters
from eviction for nonpayment
related to COVID-19, to halt arbitrary
â€œno faultâ€ evictions and
rent increases for 12 months, to
prevent foreclosures and provide
mortgage deferment options
for homeowners and to
stabilize landlords with particular
emphasis on owner-occupant
and small-scale property
owners.
The letter was organized
by Homes For All Massachusetts,
a statewide coalition of
community and housing justice
groups, and it was signed
by over 220 organizations
from across the state, including
the Massachusetts AFLCIO,

On Wednesday, July 22, the
environmental advocacy organization
Save the Harbor/Save
the Bay released its annual Metropolitan
Beaches Water Quality
Report Card, using data from the
2019 beach season.
In 2019 weekly water quality
testing at Bostonâ€™s regional
beaches began on May 23. Supplemental
daily testing of Constitution
Beach, Kingâ€™s Beach, Malibu
Beach, Tenean Beach and
Wollaston Beach began on June
13. Testing concluded on September
1.
The scores refl ect the percent
of samples that complied with
the single sample limit for bacteria
of the state Department of
Public Health (DPH) â€“ the most
straightforward way of evaluating
beach water quality and potential
impacts on human health.
In 2019 the overall water quality
safety rating for Boston Harborâ€™s
regional beaches owned by the
Commonwealth and managed
by the state Department of Conservation
& Recreation (DCR) was
88 percent, a decline from the
previous yearâ€™s score of 94 percent.
Changes in the intensity
and frequency of summer storms
often explain the variations seen
on our beaches from year to year.
These seasonal variations are
why Save the Harbor/Save the
Bay is reluctant to draw conclusions
from a single yearâ€™s sampling
results, preferring to rely on
the multiyear average that is included
in this report.
Last year was one of the wettest
years on record for Massachusetts,
part of the wettest
12-month stretch in the stateâ€™s
124 years of record keeping.
Some summer storms dropped

Bay shows a safety rating of 88 percent for the stateâ€™s metropolitan
beaches. (Photo Courtesy of Save the Harbor/Save the Bay)
a monthâ€™s worth of rain in just a
few hours. It was a summer of extremes,
with July also being the
hottest one on record, making
beach accessibility even more
critical to the regionâ€™s residents.
In 2019 four of the regionâ€™s 15
public beaches (Carson Beach,
M Street Beach, City Point Beach
and Pleasure Bay, all in South Boston)
achieved a perfect score of
100 percent, making them the
cleanest urban beaches in the
nation. Three area beaches (Nahant
Beach, Constitution Beach in
East Boston and Nantasket Beach
in Hull) scored between 90 percent
and 97 percent. Four area
beaches (Short Beach in Revere
and Winthrop, Revere Beach in
Revere, Wollaston Beach in Quincy
and Malibu Beach in Dorchester)
scored between 83 percent
and 88 percent, while four area
beaches (Savin Hill Beach in
Dorchester, Winthrop Beach in
Winthrop, Kingâ€™s Beach in Lynn
and Swampscott and Tenean
Beach in Dorchester) scored less
than 80 percent in 2019.
One critical weakness of the
area beach posting and flagging
program, in which bacteria
testing triggers advisories, is that
postings are always a day late because
beach managers must wait
24 to 36 hours after a sample is
collected to obtain test results.
Beach water quality might have
already changed significantly
during this period, and the prior
dayâ€™s test does not necessarily refl
ect current conditions. In 2019,
DPH made changes to the beach
posting protocols, which resulted
in 39 additional days when
area beaches were incorrectly
fl agged as unsafe for swimming,
including over the Fourth of July
weekend. While Save the Harbor/Save
the Bay recognize the
importance of protecting public
health, the current system is
severely fl awed and needs to be
improved. Although Save the
Harbor/Save the Bay had hoped
to resolve this situation before
the start of the 2020 beach season,
the COVID-19 pandemic has
forced public agencies, advocates
and other stakeholders to
â€“ rightly â€“ direct their attention
and resources to other pressing
public health concerns.
As Save the Harbor continues
to address the impacts of systemic
racism that has too often
prevented people of color from
Charles Hamilton Houston Institute
for Race and Justice at
Harvard Law School. The legislation
has also been endorsed
by the four Roman Catholic
Bishops of Massachusetts.
1. On July 24, 1911, American
Hiram Bingham discovered what
abandoned Incan city in Peru?
2. What do square, barn and lion have
in common?
3. What â€œcrabâ€ is considered a â€œliving

8. On July 27, 1940, the cartoon â€œA
Wild Hareâ€ was released, introducing
what victim of Elmer J. Fudd?
fully enjoying the benefi ts of our
shared $5 billion investment in
clean water, it is important to
note that access to these urban
beaches is particularly important
to the regionâ€™s low-income
and Black, Indigenous and People
of Color (BIPOC) residents.
Later this year and early next
year, Save the Harbor/Save the
Bay will host three forums and a
conference on the future of our
public beaches, to help our community
partners in waterfront
neighborhoods and beachfront
communities address systemic
racism, sea level rise, and the impacts
of the COVID-19 pandemic,
all of which threaten public
health and safety.
Working with their policy partners
at the Massachusetts Water
Resources Authority, the state
Department of Environmental
Protection and DCR, Save the
Harbor will also convene a public
meeting of their Beaches Science
Advisory Committee, to create
a shared understanding and
consensus among stakeholders
and regulators on how to best
address the inadequate and inaccurate
posting protocols, to
both protect public health and
preserve public access to clean
water.
In the interim, instead of simply
relying on postings and fl ags,
Save the Harbor/Save the Bay
urges beachgoers to also rely on
common sense and the multiyear
average included in this report
to decide when and where
it is safe to swim. And when you
are on the beach, be sure to wear
a mask and observe the guidance
for social distancing â€“ to protect
yourself and your community
from COVID-19.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE â€“ Friday, July 24, 2020
The Coronavirus count
State reports four new confi rmed Saugus
COVID-19 cases; two new deaths reported
By Mark E. Vogler
T
he spread of Coronavirus
continues to show a steady
reduction in Saugus â€“ like most
communities in Massachusetts
â€“ as the state continues to
move toward normalcy under
Governor Charlie Bakerâ€™s Reopening
Plan. There were just
four new confirmed cases of
COVID-19 reported in Saugus
over the past week, raising the
total to 566 confi rmed cases.
This marked the sixth consecutive
week that there were fewer
than 10 cases reported, according
to new data released
late Wednesday afternoon by
the state Department of Public
Health (DPH).
Meanwhile, the townâ€™s death
total from the virus increased
by two to 38.
For the second straight
week, the state did not publish
the rate of COVID-19 cases
per 100,000 population
â€“ a statistical analysis which
two weeks ago had Saugus
with a rate of 1,959.52 per
100,000, the 22nd highest
rate among all communities
across the state. Saugus has
ranked among the top 25 in
confi rmed COVID-19 cases per
100,000 for most weeks since
the townâ€™s fi rst resident tested
positive for the virus on March
19. The statistic made it easy
to compare the incidence of
COVID-19 in diff erent communities,
large and small.
The DPH website now includes
a measurement which
focuses on test results over the
past 14 days up until Wednesday.
Those statistics showed
5,926 Saugus residents have
been tested for the virus so
far â€“ including 718 over the
past 14 days; of those tested,
there were 12 confi rmed cases
of the virus for a positivity
rate of 1.67 percent during
that time. That matches the
average state positivity rate
of 1.67 percent.
As of Wednesday, DPH offi
cials reported 8,249 deaths
statewide linked to COVID-19.
Of those, 1,136 have been reported
in Essex County
The DPH has been releasing
numbers of COVID-19 cases for
all 351 municipalities, broken
down by city and town, every
Wednesday. As of Wednesday,
there were 16,815 confi rmed
cases of COVID-19 reported in
Essex County, the third highest
number among the stateâ€™s 14
counties. There were 114,320
confi rmed cases of the Coronavirus
statewide.
How Saugus compares to
neighboring communities
Town residents are able to
compare the number of COVID-19
cases confirmed in
Saugus to those in neighboring
cities and towns as well
as communities of similar size
by going to the DPH website
at https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-responsereporting,
then click on COVID-19
cases by city/town.
Hereâ€™s how nine other area
communities compare to Saugus:
Lynn:
3,779 cases, 136 total
positive tests in the last
14 days, 3.62 percent positivity.
Revere:
1,870 cases, 70 total
positive tests in the last 14
days, 4.30 percent positivity.
Everett: 1,823 cases, 52 total
positive tests in the last 14
days, 2.22 percent positivity.
Malden: 1,280 cases, 34 total
positive tests in the last 14
days, 2.12 percent positivity.
Peabody: 1,021 cases, 29 total
positive tests in the last 14
days, 1.79 percent positivity.
Saugus: 566 cases, 12 total
positive tests in the last 14
days, 1.67 percent positivity.
Wakefi eld: 326 cases, 8 total
positive tests in the last 14
days, 1.03 percent positivity.
Melrose: 273 cases, 27 positive
tests in the last 14 days,
1.48 percent positivity.
Reading: 305 cases, 5 positive
tests in the last 14 days, .75
percent positivity.
Lynnfi eld: 98 cases, 0 positive
tests in the last 14 days, 0 percent
positivity.
Statewide totals: 112,347
cases, 3,011 positive tests in
the last 14 days, 1.67 percent
positivity.
(Data compiled by DPH and
made public as of July 22,
2020.)

Video Calling Solutions for
Tech-Challenged Seniors
Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you recommend some simple devices that can help techchallenged
seniors with video calls? My 80-year-old mother has
been isolating herself for months now in fear of the coronavirus
and I havenâ€™t been able to see her face-to-face in quite a while.
Concerned Daughter
Dear Concerned,
Video chatting is a great way to stay connected and keep
tabs on an elder parent when you canâ€™t be there, but itâ€™s even
more important now during this pandemic as many isolated
seniors are also suff ering from chronic loneliness.
To help connect you and your mom virtually, there are
various products on the market that offer simple video
calling for seniors who have limited ability or experience with
technology. Here are four devices to consider.
GrandPad: This is a top option for simple video calling, and
much more. The GrandPad is an 8-inch tablet specifi cally
designed for seniors, ages 75 and older. It comes with a stylus, a
charging cradle and 4G LTE built-in so it works anywhere within
the Consumer Cellular network â€“ home Wi-Fi is not required.
Ready to go right out of the box, GrandPad provides a
simplifi ed menu of big icons and large text for only essential
features, providing clutter-free, one-touch access to make and
receive video calls, send voice emails, view photos and videos,
listen to personalized music, check the weather, play games,
browse the Internet and more.
A GrandPad tablet costs $250 plus $40 monthly service fee
and is sold through Consumer Cellular at GrandPad.net or call
888-545-1425.
Amazonâ€™s Echo Show: With its built-in camera and screen,
the voice-command Echo Show also provides a simple way to
have face-to-face chats with your mom, but sheâ€™ll need home
Wi-Fi installed.
Echo Shows, which come in three screen sizes â€“ 5-inch ($90),
8-inch ($130) and 10-inch ($230), will let your mom make and
receive video calls to those who have their own device, or who
have the Alexa app installed on their smartphone or tablet.
Once you set up her contacts, to make a call your mom
could simply say, â€œAlexa, call my daughterâ€ And when you call
her, she would ask Alexa to answer the call (or ignore it). Thereâ€™s
also a feature called â€œdrop-inâ€ that would let you video call your
momâ€™s device anytime without her having to answer it.
Available at Amazon.com, the Echo Show also offers
thousands of other features your mom would enjoy like voiceactivated
access to news, weather, her favorite music and
much more.
If you decide to order an Echo Show device for mom, be
sure your ask Amazon to mark it as a gift so it doesnâ€™t get tied
to your Amazon account. For instructions to help your mom
set it up, or if she doesnâ€™t have a smartphone, go to Amazon.
com/gp/help/customer/display.html, and type in â€œHelp Loved
Ones Set Up Their Echo Show Remotelyâ€ in the â€œfi nd more
solutionsâ€ bar.
ViewClix: This is a smart picture frame specifi cally designed
for elderly seniors that lets family members make video calls,
send photos and post virtual sticky notes with messages to
their loved ones ViewClix from their smartphone, tablet or
computer. Seniors, however, cannot initiate video calls from
their ViewClix. Home Wi-Fi is also required.
Available in two sizes â€“ 10-inch for $199, and 15-inch for
$299 â€“ you can learn more about this product at ViewClix.com.
Facebook Portal: If your mom is a Facebook user, a voicecommand
Facebook portal (see portal.facebook.com) is
another simple way to stay connected â€“ home Wi-Fi is needed.
Portals, which come in three sizes â€“ the original 10-inch
Portal ($179), the 8-inch Mini ($129) and the massive 15-anda-half-inch
Portal Plus ($279) â€“ are like Echo Shows, except they
connect through Facebook. With a Portal, your mom can video
call your smartphone or tablet (and vice versa) using Facebook
Messenger or WhatsApp.
