Counting Your
Blessings in Saugus
Selectmen share their refl ections on
what they and town residents should
be thankful for this Thanksgiving
By Mark E. Vogler
W
ith Saugus and the rest
of the nation set to celebrate
Thanksgiving Day tomorrow
(Thursday, Nov. 24),
members of the Board of Selectmen
shared their views
on how residents should
be counting their blessings.
Hereâ€™s what they had to say:
Board of Selectmen Chair
Anthony Cogliano: We
should all be thankful for our
families, friends, and good
health throughout the holiday
season and to know that better
days and positive change
are in our future. On a personal
note I am thankful that the
residents continue to put their
trust in me and my colleagues
to lead this Town forward. In
my opinion we can always be
better and Iâ€™m determined to
get us there...sooner than later.
Happy Thanksgiving to all
and God Bless.
Board of Selectmen Vice
Sachems senior Justin Belluscio received the Saugus Lions Club â€œHeisman Awardâ€ during the
50th Annual Saugus and Peabody Lions Clubsâ€™ Annual Football Banquet last week at Prince
Pizzeria. Saugus High Head Coach Steve Cummings (right) congratulated the player he chose
for the award for showing heart during a football season overshadowed by his dadâ€™s death.

Chair Debra Panetta: I think
everyone is relieved that
COVID cases have dramatically
dropped, even though we
all still need to be careful.
I count my blessings every
day knowing that I have a family
that loves me and many
wonderful friendships.
In Town, we are fortunate
to be a full-service community,
with dedicated and responsive
Police and Fire Departments.
Our students are
blessed with a state-of-theart
Middle/High School with
teachers that deeply care
about their education. I think
we have the best Senior Center
around -- and the best staff .
Saugus residents are blessed
with Breakheart Reservation,
the Iron Works, and Prankers
Pond to enjoy. Most of all, we
are blessed with all the wonderful
volunteers that serve on
the many committees, commissions,
and boards in our
town. People of Saugus take
great pride in their community
and stay involved. I wish everyone
a joyful and safe Thanksgiving.
Selectman
Jeff rey Cicolini:
As the holiday season is upon
us I would like to wish everyone
a happy, healthy and safe
holiday season. I hope everyone
can fi nd the time to spend
quality time with their family,
friends and loved ones. It is a
great opportunity to refl ect on
just how fortunate we are to
have these people in our lives
and spread peace and prosperity
every day we are together.
Be well, stay safe and
enjoy your Thanksgiving my
friend.
The residents can also be
thankful that they live in a
town that is fi nancially stable,

we have brand new schools,

exploring opportunities for

us maintain our low property

We also have our Thanksgiving

showing of community support.
Selectman
Corinne Riley:
I believe the biggest reason
for our residents to count
their blessings, and I hope
that everyone feels this, is
that Saugus is a community
that will always be there
to help those in need, especially
in tough times. I have
seen it so many times and
in so many ways, whether
houses of worship reaching
out, individuals who look to
give to those having difficult
times, public servants in
countless ways, community
nonprofits helping with toy
drives, hat and mitten drives,
or just neighbors helping
neighbors. I have been in this
town my whole life and have

spend four hours last Saturday
(Nov. 19) in the basement
of Cliftondale Congregational
Church to observe the operation
of the Saugus United
Parish Food Pantryâ€™s annual
Thanksgiving food drive. Volunteers
loaded Thanksgiving
meals into the cars and taxicabs
of needy people who
came to pick up their turkeys.
Some of the players delivered
the goodwill packages to the
homes of needy families. The
Saugus Advocate interviewed
organizational leaders, some
of the volunteers and some of
the people who might not get
to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving
Day meal if not for the
food drive. Highlights from last
weekâ€™s interviews follow.
Q: So, why are you here today?
Desiree
Bruzzese, who
came with her daughter Alena,
a sixth-grader at the Saugus
Middle-High School, and
Elenaâ€™s friend, Kendall Powers,
who is a fifth-grader at the
Belmonte STEAM Academy.
Bruzzese: We live on the

Food Pantry. I thought this
was a good opportunity for
my daughter to volunteer
to help out in the community.
Itâ€™s a good thing for her to
give back to the community.
Hopefully, she will have more
opportunities to volunteer.
Kendall, who is 11, said she
carried food to the waiting
cars outside seven times.

late husband was a Marine
who passed away in 2016. Her
grandson is a Marine who was
wounded in Syria. He recently
graduated from college with
a masterâ€™s in Cybersecurity.
She worked in Washington in
1957 when Eisenhower was
president.
Milano: Iâ€™ve been doing this
for about six years. I do the
Veterans Food Bank, too, at
the Saugus Senior Center the
third Sunday of the month.
I have a whole military family.
I have two brothers who
were disabled who served in
Vietnam. I like to talk to veterans
because I have something
in common. I want to
help people who need help.
Thatâ€™s my joy.
Stephen Manley, 72, a
1969 Saugus High School
graduate who served overseas
in Germany. Heâ€™s a retired
automotive technician who
had his own shop. Heâ€™s a lifetime
member of the Eastern
Massachusetts Soccer Association
and has worked in Essex
County for more than 30 years
as a referee. He began working
in the Food Pantry in 2017.
Manley: I worked for this
church as a kid. I have been involved
with fi ve to six Thanksgiving
food drives here. I
worked with the late Wendy
Reed, who headed up the
Food Pantry for a long time. I
got involved in the Food Pantry
after the death of John Patrick
Denahy, who was married
to my cousin, Joanie. I took
his position. I just get the satisfaction
of helping people.
And Iâ€™m glad we got the food
to hand out.
Brenton Sullivan, a Saugus
High School senior who
plays defensive tackle on the
Saugus High School football
team.
Sullivan: This is my first
time at the Food Pantry. I just
came to help people move
their food to their cars.
Dolores Barry, daughterin-law
to the late Dick Barry.
She likes to volunteer at the
Food Pantry.
Barry: Itâ€™s wonderful seeing
all of the volunteers here.
Saugus is a great place to live.
Iâ€™ve lived here 40 years, and
itâ€™s a great community with
a lot of wonderful volunteers
who like to give back to the
community by helping people
who need assistance. And
we appreciate all of the donations
and support we receive
so we can help people.
Michael Fiscale, 86, a member
of Cliftondale Congregational
Church who has been
involved with the Food Pantryâ€™s
Thanksgiving food drives
for seven years.
Fiscale: Weâ€™re like family
here, and we like to help
people.
Mitch Boyer, 62, who has
lived in Saugus since he was
three years old. He joined
Cliftondale Congregational
Church in 1978 and has
worked for 27 years as a volunteer
in the Food Pantry.
Boyer: I love coming over
here, making the coff ee. I enjoy
giving back to the community.
I also enjoy knowing
that Iâ€™m able to help somebody
else.
David Odgers, 44, from
Lynn, who has been a member
of Cliftondale Congregational
Church since 2014.
Odgers: This is my fourth
time helping out on the
Thanksgiving food drive.
And I get the satisfaction of
just helping people. They always
tell me â€œThank youâ€ and
â€œYouâ€™re doing a good job.â€ I
just like helping people. That
makes me feel happy.â€
Jessika Rodriguez, the
mother of two Saugus High
School football players: freshman
Jordan Rodriguez and junior
Isaiah Rodriguez.
Jessika: This is our fi rst time
doing a Thanksgiving food
drive. Weâ€™ve done toy drives
with youth groups. I like it
when the younger people in
the community are involved
in a project to give back to the
community. I think itâ€™s very
important for younger people
to do this. Itâ€™s very humbling.
Sometimes, we as a society
donâ€™t do a very good job
in teaching our youth to get
involved in helping people.
Cliftondale Congregational
Church Pastor Joe
Hoyle, who organized his second
Thanksgiving food drive
during the four and a half
years he has been offi ciating
at the church.
Pastor Hoyle: This is a welloiled
machine. And they make
sure this runs smoothly â€“ not
just on Thanksgiving. The
regular volunteers make this
work all year round. Theyâ€™re
here every week, giving of
their time to help fi ght food
insecurity in Saugus.
And weâ€™re following the
protocol of the way itâ€™s been
done in the past. Weâ€™re still
following the same protocols
that Wendy Reed left in
place. Her absence is still felt
a couple of years later. But
her spirit lives on here. (Reed,
who passed away suddenly
in February of 2021, was the
longtime clerk of the Saugus
Board of Selectmen and also
served as interim director of
the food pantry, overseeing
the core of volunteers.)

The season began on an
emotionally draining and sad
note for Justin, who had to
cope with his dad being diagnosed
with Stage 4 Lung
Cancer and later losing his
gallant battle to the dreaded
disease.
â€œWe found out this summer
that his dad was sick,â€
Sachemsâ€™ Head Coach Steve
Cummings said in an interview
last week. â€œIt was just
eight weeks from the time
of his dadâ€™s diagnosis until
he passed away.
Justin, who was a twoway
starter for this yearâ€™s Sachems
football team â€“ a slot
receiver on offense and a
safety on defense â€“ missed
a few practices. But he never
missed a game â€“ including
one just days after his
dad died.
â€œThe day before the game
â€“ which was two days after
he found out that his father
passed away, he was just
standing in the locker room
and looked right at me and
said, â€˜Coach, Iâ€™m playing. Iâ€™m
playing tomorrow,â€™â€ CumDan

Collecting the hardware: Justin Belluscio got to hold up two
coveted trophies on Wednesday night (Nov. 16) â€“ one of them
that he took home as this yearâ€™s recipient of the Saugus Lions
Club â€œHeisman Award.â€ His name will also be engraved
on the giant â€œHeisman Trophyâ€ that will be put on display at
Saugus High to honor all past recipients.
mings told a gathering at
the 50th Annual Saugus and
Peabody Lions Clubsâ€™ Annual
Football Meeting and Dinner
last week at Prince Pizzeria.
â€œHe wanted to be there
with his guys. It was normal
to him. This was how he
wanted to grieve. To watch
our guys take him and walk
him through that difficult
scenario â€¦. To watch your
young men be there and do
that kind of thing for another
human being is why we do
this job,â€ the coach said.
Justin received this yearâ€™s
Saugus Lions Club Heisman
Award â€“ an honor bestowed
annually to an unsung hero
or the player who best represents
himself as the heart
and soul of the Sachems
football team. â€œThis young
man has shown an incredible
amount of character
and an incredible amount
of strength â€“ more than you
ask for any 17- or 18-yearold
kid,â€ Coach Cummings
told the audience in Giggles
Comedy Club, where the senior
players for Saugus High
School and the Peabody Tanners
football teams dined together
a week before their
Thanksgiving Day showdown.
â€œSo
when we were asked
to give an award at this banquet,
there was really no
doubt as to who we were going
to give it to: the guy on
our team who basically made
this season everything he
wanted it to be because of
everything he was forced to
go through this year,â€ Coach
Cummings said.
A tragic start to the
season
Justinâ€™s dad â€“ Joseph A.
Belluscio, Jr., 61 â€“ had just
retired from Massport after
40 years of work when he
learned he had Stage 4 Lung
Cancer. About two months
later, he succumbed to Lung
Cancer.
â€œIâ€™ve been going through
a hard time and all of these
kids helped me through it,â€
Justin said in a recent interview.
â€œThey helped me a lot.
My teammates were part of
the healing process for me,â€
he said.
Brenton Sullivan, a defensive
lineman, said he and his
teammates rallied around
their grieving teammate. â€œIt

â€œThe Old Sachemâ€
The NFL AFC East
By Bill Stewart
hree weeks ago, I predicted
the Patriots as fi nishing
with an 8 wins and 9 losses record,
but the Jets changed all
that this week. The Pats won
10-3 to keep their hopes alive
for a playoff spot. Iâ€™m now betting
on 9 and 8. On Thursday
they play one of the toughest
teams in the NFL, the Minnesota
Vikings, in Minneapolis, and I
canâ€™t see the Pats winning.
Mac Jones hasnâ€™t led to a
T
touchdown in the last two
games. He does not appear to
look around for open receivers,
instead tossing to the fi rst
choice, covered or not. He also
does not toss the ball away
when he knows he is in trouble
as most of the quarterbacks
do. He has been sacked
about fi ve times each over the
last two games. Of course, the
offensive line contributes to
his problem, but someone has
got to teach the off ense how to
play the game. Is there a problem
with the off ensive coaches
who donâ€™t know how to run
an off ense?
Anyway, I fi gure the Pats to
lose at Minnesota (8-2) only
four days after the Jets game.
Next Buffalo (7-3) comes to
Foxboro and only a miracle
could see the Pats winning.
That would be two straight
losses. The Patriots should win
their next two games: December
12 at Arizona (4-6), and
at Las Vegas (3-7). Then they
come home to host Cincinnati
(6-4) on December 24, which
could go either way.
Their final regular season
games are Miami (7-3) at Foxboro
and at Buff alo, also 7 and
3, and to win either game is
nearly impossible, unless either
opponent loses their quarterback
before or during the
contests.
Ranking the AFC East Division,
it appears that either Miami
or Buff alo should be the
champion, with my favorite
Buff alo. I expect Buff alo to win
their last seven: at Detroit (46),
at the Patriots (6-4), Jets (64),
Miami (7-3), at Chicago (38),
at Cincinnati (6-4), and fi nish
with the Patriots in Buff alo.
This would give them a 14
and 3 record.
My take on Miami is three
wins at home: Houston (1-8
-1), at San Francisco (5-4), at
LA Chargers (5-4). Then they
travel to Buff alo (7-3), which
should be a loss. They should
win their fi nal three games: at
home against Green Bay (4-7),
Patriots (6-4) and the Jets, also
6 and 4.
I count the Jets out; they battle
Minnesota (8-2), Buff alo (73),
Detroit (4-6), Jacksonville (37),
Seattle (6-4) and fi nish with
Miami (7-3). I donâ€™t have last
weekâ€™s scores for San Francisco
and Arizona who play Monâ€œThe
Old Sachem,â€
Bill Stewart
day evening (after I submit the
article).
Through nine weeks Buff alo
has a 27.3 point scoring average
and allows 16.8 points average
for opponents. Miami appears
to have a weak average,
scoring 25.2 points and allowing
24.1. The Pats are 22.6 and
18.4, and the Jets 21.8 and 19.6.
My latest predictions for the
season are Buff alo 14 and 3, Miami
13 and 4, Patriots 9 and 8
and the Jets 9 and 8.
Weâ€™ll see if the Old Sachem is
still capable of peering into the
future of the NFL. I expect next
week to do some comments
on the FIFA World Cup of soccer,
which is being played this
year in Qatar.

INSPIRATION | FROM PAGE 4
was a very tough time for
Justin when his dad died.
We gave him support and he
definitely powered through
it,â€ Brenton said.
â€œIf anything, playing while
dealing with that personal
tragedy made him even better.
He went out and played
well that game after his father
passed away. And going
out and playing after all the
personal adversity he faced,
Justin was definitely an inspiration
for his teammates,â€
he said.
Last weekâ€™s award presentation
at Prince Pizzeria
wasnâ€™t something that Justin
was expecting. â€œI was surprised.
I didnâ€™t even know
there was going to be an
award presentation, â€œJustin
said.
â€œItâ€™s been a good year and
I want to thank every one of
my teammates for being with
me when I needed them the
most and throughout the
season. With their support, I
played every game,â€ he said.
He hopes to play
college football
Justin said he hopes to attend
college after graduating
from Saugus High. Heâ€™s mostly
an A and B student. And he
has dreams of playing collegiate
football.
â€œWhen he came here as a
freshman, Justin was one of
those kids who gave you everything,â€
Coach Cummings
recalled. â€œHeâ€™s been such a
great kid,â€ the coach said. â€œHis
dad made it to a few games
to see Justin play.â€
After the death of his dad,
Justin essentially became
the man of the house. It was
just him, his mother and five
sisters.
â€œHe never used anything as
an excuse,â€ Coach Cummings
said in an interview recently,
recalling how Justin reAn

sponded after the death of
his dad. â€œConsidering everything
he was dealing with,
heâ€™s an incredible young
man. At practice, youâ€™d never
see it affect him. He really enjoyed
playing football. It was
that time to get things off his
mind â€“ and all of the things
heâ€™s been going through,â€ the
coach said.
â€œHeâ€™s one of those kids who
works really hard and does
all the things you ask of him
â€“ even in just a very tough
situation. I couldnâ€™t be more
proud of how he handled
everything and persevered
in the face of such adversity,â€
he said.
Coach Cummings said Justin
played the game with
great passion. â€œAs a player,
heâ€™s tough. Heâ€™s always
in the right spot. Heâ€™s got a
great nose for the ball,â€ Coach
Cummings said.
â€œEvery once in a while, he
shows up and makes a big
play or is part of one. Heâ€™s always
around the ball. He always
seems to be around the
ball and in the right spot. If
thereâ€™s a ball on the ground,
heâ€™s right there and a part of
the play. If a pass gets deflected,
heâ€™s near the action,â€
the coach said.
â€œThe great thing about this
sport is the camaraderie that
players seem to share â€“ being
around the guys who play.
Really, there was not a lot
of thought on who was going
to get this award,â€ Cummings
said.

Football Sachems a heavy underdog against
Tanners in annual Thanksgiving Day game
Saugus running back Tommy DeSimone
the last two years.
That one triumph came in
Sachems quarterback Cam Preston
By Greg Phipps
T
his yearâ€™s Thanksgiving
Day matchup between
the Saugus Sachems and
the Peabody Tanners will pit
two teams that have gone
through very different high
school football seasons. The
Sachems have struggled to
a 1-9 record while the Tanners
have experienced the
flipside of that, going 9-1.
As a result, Peabody is the
clear favorite entering this
yearâ€™s annual Turkey Day
clash, which will take place
at Christie Serino Jr. Stadium
(scheduled 10 a.m. kickoff).
It will be the inaugural
Thanksgiving Day contest
at Saugusâ€™s recently-opened
new venue.
In recent years, the Tanners
have dominated the series,
winning the last eight
times the two squads have
faced each other. One of
those contests was in the
spring of 2021, when an
abbreviated schedule of
games took place to make
up for the 2020 fall season,
which was cancelled due
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Saugus last emerged victorious
in 2013 when it
came out on top by a 25-14
score. Peabody currently
holds a 47-28 lead in the
Thanksgiving Day games
(not counting the 2021
spring contest). The Tanners
won by a 41-6 margin last
year and are likely seeking
another convincing win
over a Saugus program that
has tallied just one win in
Saugusâ€™s most recent game
at Whittier Tech. The Sachems
pulled out to a 21-6
lead after three periods before
holding on in the final
quarter to come away with
a 21-20 victory. Led by quarterback
Cam Preston, who
has thrown five touchdown
passes in the last two games,
receiver Isaiah Rodriguez
and running back Tommy
DeSimone, the Sachems
have played better over the
second half of the season.
Theyâ€™ve averaged over 20
points a game on offense.
The Sachemsâ€™ defense,
led by linebackers Braden
Faiella and Jaiden Smith,
will have its hands more
than full trying to contain
a Peabody offense, led by
quarterback Shea Lynch,
that has averaged over 40
points per game. The Tanners
were unbeaten and
had high hopes entering
the state Div. 2 playoff tournament
a few weeks back.
But the tables turned on
Peabody as it gave up 49
points in a first-round loss
to Bishop Feehan
Sachems Head Coach Steve Cummings

Saugus Gardens in the Fall
Hereâ€™s whatâ€™s blooming in town this week to make your walks more enjoyable
By Laura Eisener
H
appy Thanksgiving,
Saugonians! I hope
everyone will enjoy
their harvest feast. Traditional
menus are full of fall season
vegetables, especially root
vegetables that can be harvested
after frost and stored
for winter: parsnips, beets and
turnips, for example. Some of
these are things we seldom
eat at any other time, but
which form an essential part of
memories around our grandparentsâ€™
Thanksgiving table.
Although wintry temperatures
have arrived, our gardens
are still sporting a few
fall flowers. The afternoon
sun still shines on red, yellow
and occasionally orange
crabapples still clinging on
trees around town. Turkeys
have been popping up in
every neighborhood â€“ not all
of them real ones! One of the
most creative displays is one
with fabric turkeys sitting in a
magnolia tree on Forest Street.
Meanwhile, at a traffic island
on the corner of Ballard Street
and Lincoln Avenue, a stack of
hay bales is already looking
forward to spring, as the uppermost
bale is sporting a new
crop of bright green grass.
We all know what is coming
right after Thanksgiving!
Small forests of conifers are
appearing at garden centers
and other places as Christmas
approaches. At work I have
been surrounded by balsam
fir (Abies balsamea) wreaths,
swags, centerpieces and cemetery
baskets, immersed in the
holiday fragrance. Because of
its scent, balsam fir and the
closely related Fraser fir (Abies
fraseri) are far and away the
most popular tree species in
our part of the country for
Christmas trees and other live
decorations. I saw the truck
of trees being unloaded at
Little Brook Florist and Garden
Center on Lincoln Avenue, and
Hubermanâ€™s Greenhouses on
Oriental bittersweet, an invasive
exotic vine, is ripe
and dispersing its seeds.
(Courtesy photo to The Saugus
Advocate by Laura Eisener)
Vine Street also has trees and
decorations ready for the season.
Decorations are starting
to go up all over town.
As more leaves fall, we can
see farther into the woods,
and certain brightly colored
fruits become more noticeable.
Among the woody vines
which become more noticeable
in fall is Oriental bittersweet
(Celastrus orbiculatus).
This is an invasive, exotic vine
that has spread extensively
in New England and much of
the country, especially in disturbed
areas and woodland
edges. Our native bittersweet
(Celastrus scandens) produces
far fewer fruits and has
been outnumbered by the
invasive species so that now
even bittersweet vines you
find deeper in the woods are
usually the invasive kind. The
seeds are frequently spread
by birds, which eat the fruits
and then â€œplant the seeds surrounded
by fertilizerâ€ somewhere
else. This is why you
may find them coming up in
your compost pile or other
locations in your garden, even
if there had not been vines
nearby before.
Once they have been growing
for a dozen years or so,

Thanksgiving. (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate by Laura Eisener)
bittersweet vines can become
very heavy and sometimes
break the branches of trees.
Since this vine climbs by twining
around tree trunks, it also
can strangle trees by preventing
the trunks from growing
wider. Bittersweet vines can
form dense thickets and crowd
out other species in areas that
are not vigorously maintained.
I have seen it climb telephone
poles and in other ways wreak
havoc on the environment.
Bittersweet fruits are very
colorful and were originally
introduced in the United States
as an ornamental plant. They
are poisonous to mammals
but do not seem to harm the
birds at all. Bright orange-red
berries are encased initially
in a yellow-orange â€œshell,â€
which opens when the fruit
is completely ripe. In the past,
bittersweet was a popular
Thanksgiving and harvest
time decoration, but using it
on your doorway or disposing
of it in your compost will likely
lead to unwanted seedlings
popping up in your garden
or your neighborsâ€™ garden, as
birds may perch on your door
wreath to devour the fruits.
Indoors, they are less likely to
be accessible to wild birds as
long as they are disposed of
in a way that ensures they will
go deep into the landfill. Once
you have oriental bittersweet
growing in your garden it is
difficult to control, so it is wise
to try to keep it from getting
established in the first place.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE â€“ WEDnESDAy, nOVEmbEr 23, 2022
The Sounds of Saugus
By Mark E. Vogler
Good morning, Saugus!
Best wishes to everyone for
a safe and happy Thanksgiving
Day weekend. If you are
traveling long distances on
the highways over the holiday
weekend, be careful out there.
If you are looking forward to
a family gathering or a get-together
with friends, have a
good time. But limit your
alcohol consumption to two
drinks. Itâ€™s usually the third one
that gets you in trouble. Better
yet, have somebody who isnâ€™t
drinking be the designated
driver. The highways will be
crowded enough without
impaired drivers endangering
motorists
Tomorrow, Saugus, along
with other communities
across Massachusetts, will enjoy
High School football rivalries.
Saugus High will host the
Peabody Tanners tomorrow
(Thursday, Nov. 24) at 10 a.m.
at the Christie Serino Jr. Memorial
Stadium at the Saugus
Middle/High School Complex.
On its website this week, the
administration of Saugus Public
Schools is requesting that
all spectators purchase tickets
online to save time and money.
Online sale ticket prices are
as follows: $9, adults and $6,
students/senior citizens. Cash
sales will be available at the
door; however, all tickets will
cost $10. The School Department
will also have the online
purchase option available at
the gate on game day at the
reduced cost. For more information
for the online tickets,
check on the Saugus Public
Schools website.
Counting our blessings
Thanksgiving has always
been one of my favorite holidays.
Families and friends
gather around a great meal
after a High School football
game rivalry. And many people
count their blessings, reflecting
on the positive things
going on in their lives.
This week, I asked selectmen
to share their own thoughts
on what they believe Saugus
residents should count their
blessings for (See story in this
weekâ€™s edition).
I gave my own situation as
editor of The Saugus Advocate
for the last six and halfplus
years some reflection. I
am thankful that Iâ€™m healthy
enough to continue working
as the Editor of The Saugus
Advocate as I observe my 50th
year in newspaper journalism.
I still enjoy the challenges of
putting out a small community
newspaper that comes out
on Fridays â€“ except on special
holiday weeks. And I am
blessed to have a supportive
publisher backing me up and
a cast of contributors who file
interesting articles, photos
and artwork on a regular basis
which enhance the paper.
So, I am very grateful to receive
frequent contributions
from Laura Eisner (Saugus
Gardens), Jay DeMarco (Small
Saves cartoon), Joanie Allbee,
Bill Stewart (The Old Sachem),
Janice Jarosz, Tom Sheehan
and The Sketch Artist â€“ to
name a few.
I also count my blessings
that I met a wonderful lady
that I enjoy being around, and
sheâ€™s a Saugus woman. I really,
really, really like her so much
that I gave her my high school
graduation ring. Stay tuned.
A big night for Saugus
coming up
Plans are already in the
works for one of the townâ€™s
most popular community
events â€“ the annual tree lighting
ceremony and holiday
festivities, set for 7 p.m. Friday,
Dec. 2.
Santa Claus will be coming
to town. There will be some
outside fun and games for
kids â€“ including the popular
petting zoo. Santa Claus will
make his arrival. This is a Saugus
event that I always look
forward to attending. Itâ€™s a
great family event. Stay tuned
for details.
Special Town Meeting
Monday night
Just weeks after having one
Special Town Meeting, town
officials are gearing up for
another.
The key item on the warrant
for a Special Town Meeting set
for Nov. 28 is an article that
would grant the town manager
authority to research,
develop and participate in a
contract, or contracts, to aggregate
the electricity load of
the residences and businesses
in the town.
Another article on the agenda
would authorize the Board
of Selectmen to acquire title to
the land and buildings located
at 42 Jackson St. for public
parking and other municipal
purposes. Another article will
permit the town to appropriate
money for acquiring the
land and buildings at 42 Jackson
St. In addition, there are
several fiscal housekeeping
initiatives that will be considered
at the meeting, which
gets underway at 7:30 p.m. in
the second floor auditorium at
Saugus Town Hall.
Saugus Lions Club Toy
Drive Saturday
The Saugus Lions Club will
hold its 3rd Annual Roaring Toy
Drive 2022 Saturday (Nov. 26)
at the Saugus Senior Center,
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the
Saugus Senior Center at 466
Central St.
Because of last year and
continuing this yearsâ€™ craziness,
more families are hurting more
than ever and are in need of
help for Christmas. As we all
know when times are tough,
toys for the children may get
overlooked. Retired Capt. Bill
Oâ€™Malley of the Saugus Fire
Department will be collecting
the toys and delivering them to
those families in need.
Please share this information
with your family, friends and
co-workers.
If we can all tell a handful of
friends who have found themselves
far luckier than most, to
donate 1 extra toy, imagine all
the toys we can collect.
Letâ€™s all try to make Christmas
of 2022 far better than
the rest of the year. Together
we can make a difference and
help put some smiles on many
faces.
This weekâ€™s â€œShout Outsâ€
Debora de Paula Hoyle, Administrative
Assistant, at the
Cliftondale Congregational
Church, wants to publicly acknowledge
and thank the
folks and organizations who
contributed to making the
Thanksgiving Food Drive at
the Saugus United Parish Food
Pantry a successful event that
will help about 100 needy families
in the Saugus area have a
decent Thanksgiving Day meal.
â€œWe had the following entities
host food drives for us:
Saugus Public Library, Belmonte
Middle School field hockey
team, Saugus YMCA, Girl Scout
Troop 67718, ATCK Fitness,
Pioneer Charter School of Science
II, Rockland Trust, Saugus
Catholics,â€ Debora wrote us in
an email yesterday.
â€œWe also received financial
donations from the Elks and
Kowalsky Insurance. Across the
two days, we had volunteers
from the other churches in
Saugus, the community, Saugus
High football team, M&T
Bank, Salem Five Bank, Pioneer
Charter School of Science II,
Saugus YMCA, Bishop Fenwick
High School (Peabody),â€ she
continued.
â€œThis is in addition to the
many, many others who donated
their time and resources--including
those who do
GUESS WHO GOT SKETCHED? If you know the right answer, you
might win the contest. In this weekâ€™s edition, we continue our
weekly feature where a local artist sketches people, places and
things in Saugus. Got an idea whoâ€™s being sketched this week?
If you do, please email me at mvoge@comcast.net or leave a
phone message at 978 683-7773. Anyone who identifies the Saugonian
sketched in this weekâ€™s paper between now and Tuesday
at Noon qualifies to have their name put in a green Boston
Red Sox hat with a chance to be selected as the winner of a $10
gift certificate, compliments of Hammersmith Family Restaurant,
330 Central Street in Saugus. But you have to enter to win! Look
for the winner and identification in next weekâ€™s â€œThe Sounds of
Saugus.â€ Please leave your mailing address in case you are a winner.

dedicated team of volunteers
from across Saugus who help
us every week.â€
We received a second â€œShout
Outâ€ from Precinct 10 Town
Meeting Member Peter Manoogian:
â€œHere
is a shout out for BoH
(Board of Health) member
Maria Gangemi Tamagna who
did a great job pointing out the
ridiculous emission agreement
the committee agreed to in by
the sub committee . Kudos to
her for pointing out that with
agreed to improvements Saugus
residents will be exposed
to higher emissions from WIN
than what other incinerators
are able to achieve.
Want to â€œShout Outâ€ a
fellow Saugonian?
This is an opportunity for our
paperâ€™s readers to single out
-- in a brief mention -- remarkable
acts or achievements by
Saugus residents. Or, an act of
kindness or a nice gesture. Just
send an email (mvoge@comcast.net)
with the mention
in the subject line, â€œAn Extra
Shout Out.â€ No more than a
paragraph. Anything longer
might lend itself to a story
and/or a photo.
We have a winner!
Congratulations to Bob Davis
for making the right identification
in last weekâ€™s â€œGuess
Who Got Sketched?â€ Contest.
Bob is one of several readers
answering correctly. But, he

Wreaths Across America
On Dec. 17th, at noon, the
Parson Roby Chapter of the
Daughters of the American
Revolution (MA0136P) is sponsoring
their second Wreaths
Across America event, helping
both Riverside Cemetery
and the Old Burying Ground
Cemeteries to remember and
honor veterans by laying remembrance
wreaths on the
graves of our countryâ€™s fallen
heroes.
To sponsor your wreath(s)
at $15 each or to volunteer to
help place wreaths on December
17th, please visit www.
wreathsacrossamerica.org/
MA0136P or use the QR code.
There will be a brief ceremony
at noon to honor all branches
of the military followed by
laying wreaths on our fallen
heroes. Invite your friends and
family to join us in honoring
our servicemen and women.
The cut-off date to order is
Nov. 28th.
2021 was our first year sponsoring
this event, which had
over 360 wreaths sponsored.
The community really stepped
up and we are grateful for
all the support we received.
However, there are more than
1500 veteransâ€™ graves in Riverside
and we are hoping
that between the community
and businesses there will be
enough sponsored wreaths to
cover all those graves this year.

Who we are:
Healthy Students-Healthy
Saugus (HS2) is a non-profit
group of volunteers that are
helping to offset food insecurity
in households. HS2 provides
students/families that enroll in
the program a weekend supply
of nutritious food when school
lunches and breakfasts are unavailable
to them on weekends.

HS2 bags are distributed
at Saugus Public schools on
Ashley Boiardi (Courtesy photo

cited for our future with her
at the helm.â€
Regan will maintain his role
as Chairman of the Board for
the company he launched in
1984, but he is excited to elevate
Boiardi so he can spend
more time with his wife, Elizabeth.
The couple was married
last summer at one of the
largest, most lavish events
ever held on Cape Cod, which
was planned and executed
by Boiardi. While enjoying
his new role as husband, Regan
will continue to provide
strategic counsel and mentoring
as Boiardi manages this
growing firm. RCG is the sixth
largest privately owned public
relations firm in the country,
with more than 100 clients
and offices in Boston,
New York, Rhode Island, ConFridays
to take home. Bags
include such items as peanut
butter, canned meals/soups/
tuna/vegetables, pasta, fruit
cups, cereal, oatmeal, goldfish,
pretzels and granola bars. All
food is provided to children free
of charge. It is our hope these resources
will support the health,
behavior, and achievement of
every student who participates.

Letâ€™s hear it!
Got an idea, passing
thought or gripe you would
like to share with The Saugus
Advocate. Iâ€™m always
interested in your feedback.
Itâ€™s been six and a half years
since I began work at The
Saugus Advocate. Iâ€™m always
interested in hearing readersâ€™
suggestions for possible
stories or good candidates
for The Advocate Asks interview
of the week. Feel
free to email me at mvoge@
comcast.net.
Do you have some interesting
views on an issue
that you want to express
to the community? Submit
your idea. If I like it, we can
meet for a 15 to 20 minute
interview over a hot drink
at a local coffee shop. And,
Iâ€™ll buy the coffee or tea. Or,
if you prefer to continue
practicing social distancing
and be interviewed from
the safety of your home on
the phone or via email, I will
provide that option to you as
the nation recovers from the
Coronavirus crisis.
If itâ€™s a nice day, my preferred
site for a coffee and
interview would be the picnic
area of the Saugus Iron
Works National Historic Site..
