Vogler I f all four incumbent selectmen win another two-year term in Tuesday’s town elections, Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree will consider that a vote of public confidence. For about four and a half years, Crabtree has enjoyed a close working relationship with Board of Selectmen Chair Debra C. Panetta and Selectmen Scott A. Brazis, Jeffrey V. Cicolini and Jennifer E. D’Eon. Crabtree has thanked them publicly on several occasions for rehiring him after they took office following a successful March 2015 recall of the four selectmen who fired the town manager. During the recent campaign, the four selectmen have credited Crabtree and his administration for dramatic improvements in the town’s fiscal stability, municipal facilities, infrastructure, equipment and programs that they claim have made Saugus a better place to live. They have based their reelection on being a part of those successes. The AA+ Bond Rating from Standard & Poor is the highest in the town’s history, noted Cicolini, who said “the sky is the limit” as far as the town’s future is concerned. But members of the board that revived Crabtree’s career face eight challengers – three of them former selectmen – in Tuesday’s elections. They include Paul H. Allan – one of the selectmen who was ousted in the recall election. His return, along with the election of several other candidates who have been critical of the Crabtree administration, could undermine some of the administration’s Regular Unleaded $2.379 Mid Unleaded $2.799 Super $2.859 Diesel Fuel $2.779 KERO $4.759 Diesel $2.599 DEF Available by Pump! current plans. If elected, Allan says, he will call for “a moratorium on all borrowing and spending on non-essential items” until a capital improvement plan is accepted. He has also made an issue of the high turnover of key staff at Town Hall. In particular, Allan blames “the Rezoning of Route 1 Failure” on the inability of the town to fill the economic development director’s job.

We wanted them to summarize how they would want voters to remember them two years from now, if elected next Tuesday (Nov. 5). Only three candidates didn’t respond. The candidates’ answers to our question follow in the order in which they were received within the particular race. Question: If you are elected, what is the single most important thing you hope to be remembered for accomplishing two years from now? Board of Selectmen Candidates Former Selectman Paul H. Allan: I hope to be remembered for putting together a comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan that brought the community together for a common cause. That brought accountability and transparency with public involvement. Finally ending the divide that has plagued our community. Working together for common cause is a wonderful thing! Selectman Jeffrey V. Cicolini: The single most important item I wish to be remembered for accomplishing two years from now would be establishing a final closure and cap date for the Wheelabrator ash landfill. This date will be etched in stone, signed off by DEP, Wheelabrator and the town of Saugus. I feel this will be in the best interest of our residents and public health. Coming in right behind this item would be the updating of our master plan including the housing production plan as well as implementing the recommendations of the ASKS | SEE PAGE 12 Paul H.

I have been married to Therese (Meehan) Cogliano for the past 29 years. We have four children, Cassandra, a graduate of Salem State University and co-owner of Entyre Makeovers with my daughter Gabriela who is also an RN at Boston Medical Center. Gabriela recently married Michael Cross Jr. of Saugus. My youngest daughter, Sophia recently graduated with a degree in Nursing from Endicott College while my son, Anthony, Jr. is a freshman at UNH studying Mechanical Engineering. I am a product of Saugus Public Schools graduating in 1984. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with a major in Management. OCCUPATION: I am the owner of A. Cogliano Realty Services and also a licensed realtor with Littlefield Real Estate also located in Saugus. POLITICAL BACKGROUND: I was first elected to the Saugus Board of Selectmen in 1991 at the age of 25 and served in that capacity for 10 years. It was during my tenure that we developed a Capital Improvements plan that enabled us to build the New Public Safety Building, New Public Library, New Senior Center, New DPW Facility, a new rubberized track and major improvements to all our parks, playgrounds and Schools. It was also during this period that Town Hall was totally reconstructed and the new Veterans School was built. I had the pleasure of serving with Janette Fasano, Dick Barry, the late Christie Ciampa, and Jon Bernard; in my opinion, and the opinion of many, the best BOS in the history of the Town. I can’t tell you how good it feels to walk into all of these buildings and see my name embossed on a plaque in the entrance way. I was also a member of the Resco Task Force, served as Saugus’s Liaison to the Lynn Water and Sewer Commission, Chairman of the Saugus War Memorial revitalization Committee, member of the Saugus HS post prom Committee, served on the SHS Coaches selection and Athletic Director Search Committees and Chairman of the Parks and playgrounds Capital Improvements Plan. COMMUNITY SERVICE: I, along with members of our business community started the Friday Night Lights football game which continues today. In recent years we were able to provide the lights for Boys and Girls Soccer and Field Hockey as well. I was awarded the North East Conference Community Service award for my years of dedication to Saugus High School and our Student Athletes. For the past 16 years that I’ve been away from Town Politics i volunteered my time as a Coach for Saugus Youth Soccer, Saugus Town Team Basketball, Saugus Youth Softball, Saugus American Little League, Saugus Babe Ruth Baseball, Saugus Youth Hockey, Saugus Stars Hockey Program, Saugus Wings AAU Baseball Team and still Coach the Saugus Wings Fall League Varsity Hockey Team. I have had the pleasure of coaching hundreds of our kids and forming lasting relationships with them, their parents and their families. With my children all doing well or off at school I have plenty of free time to once again give back to the Town I call home. I have a skillset and knowledge of the position that is second to none and have never lost the desire to serve the great citizens of Saugus. THE ISSUES FACING SAUGUS: While it’s exciting to see a New HS/ Middle School being constructed along with beautiful new playgrounds, there is much more to be done. The new rezoning plan to develop route one was not carefully thought out as evidenced by the Town having to place a moratorium on housing developments. We need an Economic Development Director and planner. Figuring out why the Town has such a high turnover of employees is of the utmost importance. The ash landfill at Wheelabrator had a closure date of 1996. Here we are 23 years later still fighting that fight. My thought would be to sit at the table with Wheelabrator because wasting 100’s of thousands of dollars on legal fees isn’t working. I will never sacrifice the safety of our residents and I will demand they bring the NOX level down to the industry standard of 150. Saugus is long overdue to receive a host community agreement with them similar to that of Shrewsbury whereby the receive $6.75 per ton of ash ...that would amount to over $3,000,000.00 per year for Saugus. Learning to work with developers to get what’s best for our residents is a must. I’m quite sure they’d rather invest in our Town than battle in court. We need to have productive conversations. We need the right people in place to achieve these goals. The time has come for construction for a West Side Fire Station and we need to put it on a fast track. I’d also like to see redevelopment of Cliftondale Square and Saugus Center. IN CONCLUSION: It’s time to bring back an experienced, proven leader who will ask the tough questions, demand accountability and never allow hard working Saugonians to be treated as poorly as our custodians were. Just because someone is an elected o翿 cial doesn’t mean they give up their rights to speak as a citizen. I was happy to speak on their behalf and would have done so if I were on the Board at the time. I would love the opportunity to serve the great citizens of Saugus once again as a member of the Board of Selectmen. Please consider me with one of your 5 votes on November 5th. I am #3 on the ballot. Sincerely, Anthony W. Cogliano (Paid Political Advertisement) ׉ 7cassandra://11_fLhDFzoYVjKgUbZrv1lF23pIsatryH76yOSl9adA*2`̰]#%]#% PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://P69iex2tqyanWSapBmifS6xKc2QKpSUa2rmUTng3qq4b`)׉ 7cassandra://L5_xa8utasS6TVJV5LmHesN8mwHwxCoF4G8ppx4s5Pkͪ`J׉ 7cassandra://dcOZPsCziIPucXd8uSaeiJ5lZqnO-uUMhkPKZxFrg5A0k`̰׉ 7cassandra://oWt_RL5g0M4P3iFQPoK6lDoFIDozBVM-1UguG9MF7msW"͠]#%$ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://xO_WkjoG3D1lYftnXRELK5D6fOarkzaNrc_0_OmVjc8*`)׉ 7cassandra://oY7ZgeL36OHEQbRaj31rYxT-fRjjeEwvq-mCtzt_S3E͟2`J׉ 7cassandra://UyH9bohjqcNEsa8TY4tXedCIn8wUmnz2fetRIfXl93k0`̰׉ 7cassandra://A4bHIVG8I2H7S_BR-k40MiM_6oSOgzjO7D-J8oen42U//\͠]#%%נ]#%-/9ׁHhttp://www.breakawaydanvers.comׁ ׁ Јנ]#%,l{9ׁHhttp://www.marinaatthewharf.comׁ ׁ Јנ]#%+\K9ׁHhttp://energy.govׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 4 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, November 1, 2019 8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 www.eight10barandgrille.com Kitchen Hours: Mon-Thurs: 12-10pm Fri-Sat: 12-11pm Sunday: 1pm-10pm Come in & Enjoy our Famous... $12 LUNCH Menu!

Town says new, brightly colored crosswalks will reduce maintenance and improve safety (Editor’s Note: The following info is from a press release issued by the Town Manager’s Office this week.) T own Manager Scott C. Crabtree is pleased to announce that new, longer-lasting, brightly colored crosswalks have been installed in town in order to better protect against inclement weather events and reduce annual maintenance. The Town of Saugus began installation of the new crosswalks last week, with the first walkways located on Hamilton Street at Saugus Center and across from the Public Safety Building. The Town began researching alternative crosswalk applications a year and a half ago with the goal of installing crosswalks that will better outlast snow, ice and plowing, and require less annual upkeep and painting. These crosswalks, which are piloted in other cities and towns, caught the eye of Saugus officials. The Town worked to incorporate Saugus red into the product, which was a challenge. “Providing safe and reliable infrastructure for the residents and visitors of Saugus has always been and will continue to be a top priority to this administration and Board of SelectSKATING CENTER www.Roller-World.com | 781-231-1111 ATM on site Sunday Located Adjacent to Rite Aid Pharmacy in Saugus Plaza, South Bound Route 1 MBTA Bus Route 429 FREE WI-FI - 2 WIDE SCREEN TV’S FULLY AIR CONDITIONED WINTER SKATING SCHEDULE ATTENTION! 12-8 p.m. $7.50 Monday Private Parties Tuesday School & PTO GROUPS 7:30-10:30 p.m. Adult Night 18+ only $8.50 Wednesday Private Parties Thursday Private Parties 3-11 p.m. $7.50 Friday Saturday Admission after 6 p.m. $8.50 12-11 p.m. $7.50 Admission after 6 p.m. $8.50 Skates included in price/Blades $3 Bowling Alleys, 2 snack bars, video games.

This decorative surface treatment is engineered to achieve the highest levels of durability, adhesion and color stability. It provides a highquality, even finish that delivers enhanced safety for cyclists and vulnerable road users. Residents can enjoy the two new piloted crosswalks on Hamilton Street at Saugus Center and across from the Public Safety Building. “We will be looking to see how these new crosswalks hold up against winter weather elements in Saugus, as well as in other communities,” said Town Manager Crabtree. “I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, Town Meeting, and residents of Saugus for their continued support of important infrastructure improvements such as this.” For more information on the project, contact the Town Manager’s Office at 781-231-4111.

T own Manager Scott C. Crabtree recently announced that a town-wide LED streetlight conversion is underway as part of a grant opportunity through the Massachusetts Area Planning Council (MAPC) and the LED Streetlight Rapid Retrofit program of the Department of Energy Resources (DOER). The Town of Saugus’s participation in the program is part of an effort to increase energy and cost savings as well as provide residents with improved lighting and less light pollution in the community. The LED Streetlight Rapid Retrofit program provides eligible communities with an opportunity to convert their streetlights to LED by providing rebates and incentives. National Grid estimates that the Town’s return on investment with the incentives and grant is 2.37 years. In addition, this conversion will result in an annual estimated savings of $597,437. In May, Town Meeting members supported an upfront investment of $1,035,000 for the town-wide streetlight conversion project. With MAPC and DOER incentives and rebates, the project will result in a net cost estimate of $597,000. The project is estimated to pay for itself in 2.37 years, and then result in additional annual savings for the Town. “We are thrilled to have been awarded this opportunity to convert our lights to more energy and cost-efficient LED bulbs,” said Town Manager Crabtree. “Not only will this effort result in short-term project cost savings of $438,000 with incentives and rebates and a full return on investment in an estimated 2.37 years, but it will also continue to provide the taxpayers of Saugus with an annual estimated cost savings of $597,437.” LED is one of today’s most energy-efficient and rapidly developing lighting technologies. Quality LED light bulbs last longer, are more durable and offer comparable or better light quality than other types of lighting, according to energy.gov. The Town of Saugus recently engaged Tanko Lighting to oversee the project, which includes an audit of Saugus’s existing 2,852 streetlights, the new energy-efficient design and installation of the LED streetlights and fixtures. The LED streetlight conversion was supported and approved by the Board of Selectmen, the Finance Committee and Town Meeting earlier this year. “I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, Town Meeting, and residents of Saugus for their continued support of important energy and cost-saving initiatives such as this,” said Town Manager Crabtree.

Last week, the Committee was able to appreciate the project’s impressive progress,” said Town Manager Crabtree. “It is extremely exciting to see the community’s vision become a reality after years of collaborating and working together with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), the School Building Committee, School District, the residents of Saugus, and our project team.” The Town of Saugus has partnered with the MSBA and a highly qualified team of project managers, architects and Construction Managers at Risk (CMR) to construct a grade 6-12, new Middle-High School. Throughout the past several years, the Town has completed the following MSBA-required phases: Eligibility Period, Forming the Project Team, Feasibility Study, Schematic Design Phase, Funding the Project, and Detailed Design. Saugus is currently in the Construction Phase (Module 7 of 8) of the project with the MSBA. During this phase, the community will continue to collaborate with the MSBA to report on the progress of the project, while remaining on schedule and within budget. The new school is slated for completion in the summer of 2020. Construction began on the site following a groundbreaking ceremony on July 17, 2018, which was attended by local and state officials, representatives from the MSBA, Town employees, the project team, and hundreds of Saugus residents. “I am so proud of the progress we are making on the construction of our new MiddleHigh School,” said School Committee/School Building Committee Chair Jeannie Meredith. “I am incredibly impressed with the construction team, which has consistently been on-task, on-schedule, and on-budget. I want to thank our project team for extending the invitation to the full Building Committee to view this monumental progress, and for their continued transparency and thoroughness throughout this process.” The Town also recently announced that the taxpayers of Saugus will benefit from a $3.5 million savings in bonds borrowing for the new Middle-High School and other important community capital investment projects due to the Town of Saugus’s solid financial standing and AA+/Stable S&P Bond Rating.

That led me to watch the Raiders whenever possible. The National Football League historically overlooked the black college players. These same players were barred from competition in the southern college leagues. When the American Football League was formed in 1960, they were able to quickly achieve parity because they recruited what they determined to be the best players available. Colleges such as Grambling State University became hot spots for the AFL. The NFL were barely selecting black players from the white colleges. The AFL came in and said, “We don’t care what color you are, we want you to play in the AFL.” NFL scouts didn’t bother to look into players from Grambling, Texas Southern, Prairie View and similar black colleges. Willie Brown was one of the early black players to play in the AFL. He was not drafted by either the NFL or the AFL, he was given a chance to tryout at the training camp for the Houston Oilers, but they cut him from the team. He next tried out with the Denver Broncos, where he was given a contract. In 1964 he intercepted nine passes and was elected to his first Pro Bowl. Eventually Denver couldn’t find a place for him, so they traded Willie to Oakland. William Ferdie Brown was born December 2, 1940, in YaBill Stewart The Old Sachem zoo City, Mississippi, and attended Grambling State University, where he was a wide receiver and linebacker under legendary coach Eddie Robinson. Willie’s professional claim to fame was his interception and dash for 75 yards to pay dirt against the Minnesota Vikings in the 1977 Super Bowl. The Raiders radio announcer, Bill King, shouted “Old Man Willie” on the interception, then “Touchdown Raiders” to commence the tribute. Brown was a great cornerback – traded to the Raiders in 1967 as the team was having a stellar season. Willie had 39 interceptions during his 12 seasons with the Raiders. He also got 7 more interceptions in the 1977 playoffs. Coach John Madden of the Raiders claimed Brown was one of the best cornerbacks to ever play the game. He maintained that his job was not to intercept passes, but to ensure that the receiver could not catch them. After his professional football career was over, he was the team’s defensive backfield coach from 1979 to 1988. During that time the Raiders won two more Super Bowls: 1981 and 1984. Brown then coached the football team at Long Beach State in California, while achieving a master’s degree at the college. In 1994 he coached the team of Jordan High School in Los Angeles. He went back to the Raiders in 1995 as director of staff development and served in many administrative positions, becoming the team ambassador. He was installed into both the Black College Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1984. In 1999 Willie Brown was ranked as the fiftieth on the Sporting News list of 100 Greatest Football Players of all time. I was fortunate to see him play in Fenway Park for the Raiders against the Boston Patriots. Brown died at the age of 78 in Tracy, California, a great player, coach and scholar and favored by Oakland fans forever.

I was able to leave a legacy by serving our Town while preserving our traditions and values. I am very proud I took a risk and contributed to Saugus in a meaningful way. I know I am someone approachable and friendly that everyone can totally depend on. I will be proud to have respected all people and their opinions and thus able to understand and help them.

I would volunteer to be put on the first ballot in 2023. Change would happen, but gradually, which is better for the Town. I’m a product of a recall where the voters wanted change and because of this, the Town is now prospering greatly. Highest Bond rating ever. The most robust stabilization fund ever. New Parks and Playgrounds. Christopher R. Jones: Two years from now, the single most thing I would want to be remembered for by the residents of Saugus is to look back at my first two years in office and say that Chris Jones was always accountable for his decisions, fiscally responsible and on day one, was very transparent about everything happening in our community. Ultimately, I would want them to look back at the election and recall their decision to vote me into office as a spark of positive change for our community and to re-elect me into office. Michael A. Coller: Since my candidacy for Selectman in 2017 and “run” for State Representative in 2018, my message has been crystal clear and conviction in seeking an honest sound government has been unwavering. I would like to be known as a “political visionary” who predicted during the 2017 Selectman debate the Wheelabrator/Resco debacle, “doom and gloom” of privatization and the “Break Up of The Fabulous Five.” All which have fallen on “deaf ears.” As the cold and flu season hits, so does the “voter let’s forget season.” The only antidote is...............Vote Michael A. Coller. Selectman 2019. Former Selectman Michael J. Serino and Alberto V. Morgante did not respond to several email requests for comment. School Committee Candidates School Committee Member Linda N. Gaieski: I would like to be remembered for being instrumental in forging a common vision and partnership among stakeholders to effectively bring about positive change in the quality and delivery of education leading to improved MCAS scores and a closing of the student achievement gap. I will have done so by advocating for the alignment and appropriate supervision of all programs necessary to carry out the K-12 grade reconfiguration, writing and amending policies necessary for, and ensuring students’ social-emotional needs, to provide a quality education for all students’ future success, and thus ensuring the future success of education in Saugus. Joseph D. Gould: If elected would like to be remembered for being part of Committee that lowered or eliminated the cost for students to participate in after School Programs, (Sports, Band, Drama, etc.) As I have written previously, after School Programs are a very important part of Students education for teaming, leadership, problem solving, social and interpersonal skills. Studies show it also helps with improving MCAS. Core curriculum is important, but so are developing other skills to prepare for college, workforce, trades or Military. We also need to help Saugus parents by lowering their costs to have Students attend Saugus District Schools. Former School Committee Member Arthur Grabowski: FREE UNIVERSAL ALL DAY KINJohn S. Hatch Former School Committee Member DERGARTEN is the foundation upon which Saugus can build a legacy as a high performing school district. To become lifelong learners we have to establish a sound foundation for the students. Full-day kindergarten helps make sure that students build a strong base of learning they will need to succeed throughout school and life. How many times do we have the opportunity to give back monetarily to the community. Full-day kindergarten will increase student achievement. It will offer social, emotional and intellectual benefits to kindergarteners. It is cost-effective in the long run. It will better prepare students for first grade. Darren S. Ring: At least level funding. I know it sounds like a long shot but I believe the town has the capital to fund it fully. We have some of the best teachers and staff around. Without full funding we will continue to go backwards year after year. Ryan P. Fisher: I hope people will look back in two years and say the next School Committee worked constructively, behaved like professionals, and genuinely listened to everybody’s feedback, especially kids, and they feel confident and hopeful about the future of Saugus schools. No amount of tinkering with the salad bar fixes a restaurant with a bad reputation. Once we can get the confidence back, then students feel safe at school, teachers want to work here, and parents keep their kids here, or dare I suggest, bring them home to Saugus. Fixing this mess first requires trust that must be earned. William A. Marchand Jr.: I want to be remembered for finding a way to bridge the gap between the school administration, teachers, parents, Jeanette E. Meredith School Committee Chair and students while bringing up test scores. If we are supporting our teachers from the top down, then we will see it trickle down to the students and parents. The morale is currently low from all involved, but if we can improve communication and at the same time hold everyone accountable, our district will be moving in the right direction with rising test scores over the next two years. Thank you. Thomas R. Whittredge: If elected, the single most important thing that I hope to be remembered for in two years? There are many important issues facing our district. The one that I feel the School Committee can have the most effect on over the next two years is working with my fellow committee members to create a smooth transition from six schools, to a three-school model. A transition that includes 21st century teaching and is inclusive to students of all backgrounds. Former School Committee Member John S. Hatch: I hope I am able to facilitate a change in the district’s culture. A culture that is one of respect, to all, a culture that celebrates district success, and students achievement. I hope we have offered a free all-day kindergarten for all Saugus residents. I hope we have a district where all students activities have very low, to NO user fees. Most important, a professional, collaborative, and supportive school committee, that encourages educational initiatives, by our administration, and faculty to ensure district wide success. School Committee Chair Jeanette E. Meredith: If reelected to the School Committee, I hope to be remembered for my work towards changing the way education is delivered in our school district to provide the best possible education Stephen M. Horlick and opportunities for our children, bringing the new grades 6-12 Middle-High School construction project to completion, and the development and implementation of a new, comprehensive, 21st century Pre-K through Grade 12 District-Wide Education Plan and grade reconfiguration for the entire district. I believe these initiatives will help close the academic achievement gaps. Please vote for me to continue this exciting progress – I am #9 on the ballot! Thank you! School Committee Member Marc C. Magliozzi: If elected, I hope the people of Saugus will remember that every decision that I make is in the best interest of the Children. The students are the #1 priority and every decision and action should be based on that. I want to truly raise the expectations for each student and we have started to do that. I want to make sure that the number of students exceeded state expectations increase while those needing improvement decrease. The students are the true consumer in education. Thanks for the time to answer and for asking the candidates these questions over the past month. Housing Authority Candidates Housing Authority Member Maureen E. Whitcomb: There is a tremendous need for more affordable housing in Saugus. I would like to see more housing for families. Currently Saugus has eight family units, two three bedroom and 6 two bedroom units. The next few years will be very important for this issue. With schools closing this gives Saugus a chance to develop more family housing. It would be great to have a builder work with housing and the town to create a solution.

I am a fourth generation Saugonian with deep roots in the community. I am an active member of the Saugus Middle-High School Project Building Committee, Food Service Committee, Wellness Committee, Saugus High School Council, and St. Vincent de Paul. I have also served as the President of the Belmonte Middle School Parent Teacher Organization, as a member of the Veterans Memorial Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization, and on the Saugus Middle School Council. Together with my husband of many years, we are the proud parents of two wonderful girls; my oldest daughter is a graduate from Saugus High School, and my youngest daughter is a current student at Saugus High School.

I am a passionate advocate for Precinct 2 and continue to work to resolve any issues that arise within my precinct. Voting with my neighbors and the residents of Precinct 2 is at the forefront of my mind and my priority. I believe that we are on the right track and have seen many improvements over my past three terms. Please consider me for one of your votes for Precinct 2 so that I can continue to represent the residents of Saugus and we can continue moving the Town forward together. y name is Robert J. Long and I am asking for your vote and support to return to the Saugus Town Meeting from Precinct 9. I feel that the events of the next few years will greatly impact Saugus and our neighborhoods in Precinct 9. To meet these coming challenges, I believe that my experiences and background will help make these changes beneficial to our community. I have lived my life in Saugus along with my wife Carol (Russo). The two of us, with our daughter and many relatives were educated in the Saugus school system. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree with a Major in Accounting from Northeastern University, a Master in Business Administration from Suffolk University. In addition, I have lengthy experience in our town government such as many prior terms as a town meeting member and served eighteen years as the Town Moderator. I was also a Selectman for four years and chairman of the Planning Board for five Years. Currently, I am on the Board of Directors of GLSS (Greater Lynn Senior Services) and the Board and our playgrounds have been renovated and now it’s time for the West Side Station because lives will depend on it. In conjunction with a new fire OFFERING HIS EXPERTISE: Former Town Meeting Member Bob Long served 18 years as the Town Moderator. (Saugus Advocate file photo) of Directors of the Janet M. Leuci Residence in Saugus. Also, I retired from MIT as a Senior Accounting Officer. So, while many changes have happened in our town in recent years, there is still much to be done. First and foremost, the West Side Fire Station must be built. Twice in 1995 and 2003 the voters passed town wide debt exclusions to pay for the building but for various reasons nothing happened. But, public safety is a must-do necessity. We are building a new school station we have the matter of a two year building moratorium to decide how our community can best absorb more people, cars, educational demands and provide public safety. Additionally, we will soon have the question of what to do with the vacated schools once we move into the new educational system that requires only three buildings instead of the seven buildings currently in use. Each of these soon to be vacant buildings are located in single residential areas and their use should be determined by town officials and residents alike. These are just some of the issues that will impact our town and precinct 9 in the near future. I do believe that my experiences would be useful in maintaining our precinct as a good, livable community that we are proud to call home. I hope you will agree and give me one of your five votes for Town Meeting. Thank You. ׉ 7cassandra://ZGf4WtNjVrOxCZ7R8yU19wNhudY66dRp5v0SPJMGEbQ'`̰]#% ׉E%THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, November 1, 2019 ~ Political Announcement ~ Page 15 Former School Committee Member Arthur Grabowski seeks a return to office A s you probably already know, I am a candidate for the School Committee. I am a candidate that has no relatives working in the Saugus Public Schools. I have no relatives working in the Town Hall. I myself do not work for the town manager in the Town Hall. I am not affiliated with any group or youth group in town. I am not in any position to have certain things promised to me or my affiliations that may be used to try and influence or sway me in any way, shape or manner. Rather than bore you with talk of “changing the culture”, or bringing back “Sachem Pride....I will be putting forth some concrete steps that I think are essential to stop the district from sliding further into possible state intervention. When I was first elected to the School Committee, we were a level 2 school district; we had a level 1 school -- the Oaklandvale that was visited by the Governor in recognition of that achievement. We had four curriculum coordinators; we had a person who wrote many grants that we received to supplement inadequate funding. As each subsequent budget came around we faced death by a thousand cuts. … our budget was never adequately funded by the town manager or town meeting. Each subsequent year, we lost a little more, programs were cut, tuitions were raised, positions were cut. Foreign lanchange, and as the educational leader, he has to shepherd that change throughout the district. Teacher evaluations have to be rigorous and fair. Every student is entitled to a highly qualified and competent teacher in front of their classroom. If remedial action is necessary, Arthur Grabowski School Committee candidate guages were cut and made electives instead of requirements. Graduation requirements were lowered. Two years ago, the Saugus school district was rated in the bottom 25 percent of all school districts in the Commonwealth. … today the Middle School and High School have sunk to the bottom 10 percent of all school districts. This slide HAS GOT TO STOP! We have achieved a great deal of success at the elementary level as witnessed by the success at the Lynnhurst. WE need to find out what is working at that level and use best practices to convert that to success at the Middle and High Schools. The first step will be accountability … how can the school committee rate the Superintendent as “proficient” with the two secondary schools performing as dismal as they are? The Superintendent has to be on notice that things need to then it must be undertaken to ensure a quality teaching effort is being made. There is no room for “sacred cows” nor politically protected individuals. Whatever steps need to be taken to ensure quality in our efforts. I wish I had more space to go over some other ideas I have to increase student achievement but I am limited. As for the School Committee itself I want to bring back the notion that the elected members are servants of the people who elected them … that means meeting time that is conducive to public participation... 7 p.m. not 5:30 p.m. or 7 a.m. Members being able to put on the agenda for discussion any issues or thoughts that they feel are necessary … No executive sessions unless absolutely necessary. All public records are readily accessible to all members of the public without having to jump through hoops to obtain them. These are just a few thoughts I have to start off with. …If you elect me to the School Committee I promise to be a voice for you and the students, and to listen to all points of view....thank you. Andrew Whitcomb offers a teen’s perspective as Town Meeting candidate M y name is Andrew Whitcomb and I am excited to announce my candidacy for Town Meeting in Precinct 4. I am running for town meeting because I want to serve as a voice for my neighbors and the town that I love. I promise to serve the people of Precinct 4 with the utmost integrity and speak on their behalf, no matter what the issue is. I have lived in Saugus for my entire life and my family has called our town home for four generations. In 2019, I graduated from Northeast Vocational High School with a degree in Business Technology. I currently study Business at UMass Lowell. While I may not have the experience that many town meeting members have, I feel that I bring a unique perspective as a student. If elected I would become the youngest town meeting member (19 years old) and I feel that is a good thing. I believe that it is important for representatives to be vocal about resident’s concerns and what they feel strongly about. I started attending town meetings about 4 years ago as a resident because I wanted to stay informed about what was happening in town. I haven’t missed a meeting since. With the new middle/high school set to finish construction in 2020 and some of the A YOUNGER STATESMAN: At 19, Andrew Whitcomb hopes to become the youngest member of Town Meeting.

The land from these schools could be turned into low-income and veterans housing. Perhaps one lot could be turned into a skate park or outdoor roller rink. Personally, I think the Oaklandvale School could serve as an ideal location for a west-side fire station. Ultimately it is up to the people of Saugus to decide.

The housing units are between 40 to 50 years old and in great need of upgrades and repairs. The State of Mass. has not built any new units in over 10 years, but at the same time they have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in new housing and upgrades in surrounding communities.

Working with other members and the state this can be accomplished. When the new Saugus Middle/High School, Belmonte and Veterans Schools are completed, Saugus will have five schools and one public building vacant. Some of these can be used for senior housing with the help of state funds. Saugus can also use these buildings for over 55, affordable and Veterans housing. Saugus’s past mistake was to sell our public buildings to private developers, leaving Saugus saying for the next 30 years – “We could do that type of development if we only had a building.” Dear Saugus voter, I am asking for your vote and continuing support representing you as your Town Meeting Member of Precinct 8.

As a School Building Committee member, I have been able to be involved in the design of a new modern Middle/High School with a savings of 9 million dollars directly from my votes on FinCom and Town Meeting. I have been able to get much needed improvements in Precinct 8, including road, sidewalks, water and sewer repair and replacements.

Since originally taking office, Panetta has been involved in many initiatives and programs, including: • An increase in our bond rating to AA+ by S&P, highest in Saugus history, due to our strong economy and budget performance, which has already saved taxpayers in its most recent borrowing, When the new Middle/High School, Belmonte and Veterans School renovations are completed Saugus will have 5 schools and 1 public building vacant. We should look at which buildings by location with adequate parking are best suited for Senior Housing.

Vision for the Next Two Years With a sound financial foundation, Panetta believes that Saugus can continue looking towards the future with optimism and progress. That is why over the next two years, she wants to see: • Completion of the Townwide master plan, which was recently funded by Town Meeting. With all the new development in Saugus, especially along Route 1, it is imperative that we have a strategy that deals with the future growth of our town while protecting our neighborhoods and environmental resources. This plan will be the framework for making informed decisions which will include goals and policies for future land use, including housing, recreation, commercial development, transportation, and open space. • Additional increases in our reserve funds and continue improvement of our bond rating, • Continue with the Traffic Study where we are in Phase 2 of this project, • A grand opening of our new middle-high school in the Summer of 2020, • Continued growth in public confidence in town government, • Additional opportunities to supplement Town services by supporting community objectives relating to community safety, infrastructure, and transportation, • A focus on the environment, especially dealing with any expansion plans by Wheelabrator or air emission waivers, • Making betterments to the rail trail (with grant funding), and • Having open discussions with the public on what they would like to see done with the schools that will be going off-line. “I am honored to have served as your Selectman for the last 8 years.

Most people have seen me around town involved in our tremendous town run programs/events such as youth basketball, Founders Day, and the Tree Lighting. I’m invested in the community: • Current Member of Saugus Youth & Recreation Committee – 16 years. • Current Director of Saugus Town Team Basketball – 7 years. • Past President of Saugus Babe Ruth – 12 years. • Certified USA/MIAA/NCAA Softball Umpire – 8 years • I’ve raised my three children in Saugus with my wife Laurie and look forward to my grandchildren growing up in the town we call home.

I’m always available for you at gdavis@bu.edu or 781-3072863. ׉ 7cassandra://isYJRgRSvhT9DXgPh9tUmMQ3-DoV0sgy-QzsoNLId3Y$`̰]#%׉E THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, November 1, 2019 Page 17 Football Sachems shut down by Rams Saugus QB Christian Correia drops back to pass behind the protection of fullback Sal Franco in last Saturday’s loss at Lynn Classical. By Greg Phipps T he Saugus Sachems had the misfortune of facing a team on a roll last Saturday night at Manning Field in Lynn. The Lynn Classical Rams were riding a three-game winning streak and kept the momentum going with a 30-0 blanking of the Sachems. The loss left Saugus at 1-6 on the season while the playoff-bound Rams improved to 5-2. Led by lineman Edlyn Dos Santos (55), Saugus FB Sal Franco tries to hit an opening last Saturday at Manning Field in Lynn. The host Rams used their big-play offense to produce three scores in the first half and a 23-0 lead. They would add a second-half touchdown to account for the final. Meanwhile, the Sachems couldn’t get much going on offense. Senior running back Marvens Jean was used sparingly as the team never really found any consistent rhythm. A 50-yard completion from quarterback Christian CorreAward-Winning Landscaping Servicing the North Shore for over 38 Years ia to receiver Javier Martinez was the lone big-gainer, but Saugus failed to convert it into points. For the defense, the Rams’ offense proved difficult to stop. “They have speed across the board, so you really can’t focus on one guy,” Saugus head coach Steve Cummings observed to the press afterwards. “It’s almost like whichever [receiver] is getting single coverage, that’s who they Sachems defensive lineman Doug Clark (62) reaches up to impede the pass attempt of Rams QB Daniel Gisonno. (Advocate Photos by Greg Phipps) go to. They have a very experienced core of receivers.” Saugus did have a chance to avert the shutout late when it recovered a fumble near midfield. But an interception thwarted that opportunity and preserved the shutout for the hosts. Cummings credited Classical’s defense for its effort, its front line in particular. “They’re really big and fast up front. When they have four guys that can control the line of scrimmage like that, especially veteran guys, it makes things tough,” he said. “Their front really gave us fits. We weren’t able to set any kind of an edge.” Having not qualified for this year’s playoffs, the Sachems resume their regular season with a game at Wilmington (scheduled 7 p.m. kickoff) Friday night. The Wildcats have collected two wins so far this season. NOW BOOKING NEW CUSTOMERS! DON’T WAIT!

For a better Saugus Three days remain before Nov. 5 Town Elections when Saugus voters go to the polls to elect a new Board of Selectmen, a new School Committee, a new Town Meeting and two members to serve fouryear terms on the Saugus Housing Authority. Our loyal readers who don’t like to read about local politics surely aren’t going to like this week’s edition, as it is top-heavy in preelection news. And many of these readers probably didn’t like each of our editions last month either – as they were full of political announcements and coverage of the local races. But, as I’ve stated before, coverage of local elections is one of the most important functions of a local newspaper. That’s been my attitude during 45-plus years in the newspaper business. At times, over the past couple of months, it seemed like a daunting task, trying to explain to our readers about the Board of Selectmen and School Committee races, where there is a crowded field of 12 and 10 candidates, respectively – more so than in many a year. But, I dedicated much of the news hole to providing information to our readers – particularly the political announcements which were prepared by any candidate interested in introducing themselves to potential registered voters. Regardless of what we do, the Board of Selectmen candidates already get good exposure on SaugusTV, the local cable. The station filmed two candidates forums last week – one sponsored by the Saugus Chamber of Commerce, the other one organized by Saugus Action Volunteers for the Environment (SAVE). If you missed the forums, they can be viewed on www.vimeo.com/saugustelevision. You can also view about a half-hour-long candidates’ statements for the Board of Selectmen and School Committee candidates. For this week’s issue, we emailed each of the 26 candidates running in the town-wide elections and asked them – if elected – what they hoped to be remembered for two years from now as far as their most significant accomplishments. After some persistence, we got responses from 23 of the candidates. All of the candidates who responded offered some good ideas – which make up the centerpiece in today’s paper – “The Advocate Asks.” Hopefully, the people elected on Tuesday will consider many of these ideas in building a better Saugus. Hopefully, if you love Saugus, are registered to vote and care about the future of your town, you get out and vote on Tuesday for the candidates you believe will do the best job for the town. Absentee ballots still available If you are not going to be around to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 5, you can still make arrangements to vote ahead of time. Absentee Ballots are available in the Town Clerk’s Office. You can come and vote Absentee during regular business hours, or you can call to request an Absentee Ballot Application to be mailed to be completed, and then a ballot will be mailed to you. Noon, Monday, Nov. 4 is the last day you can vote absentee, according to Town Clerk Ellen Schena. So, if you can’t make it to the polls on Election Day, Nov. 5, you still have plenty of opportunity to vote, so unless you are dealing with some serious health issues, don’t make any excuses for not voting. Vote Absentee if Nov. 5 is a bad day for you. Mother and son race in Precinct 4 There are two candidates who live in the same home – 212 Essex St., apartment 102 – running for Town Meeting in Precinct 4. Maureen E. Whitcomb, one of the five current members running for the five seats, faces opposition from her 19-year-old son, Andrew, who happens to be second on the ballot of the eight candidates running. Maureen is last. So is Andrew worried about taking votes away from his mom? “My mother is a fantastic person who loves Saugus. We have discussed it, my mother also has her housing [Housing Authority] race. She said she would be proud if I got a seat even if she didn’t. That’s the kind of person she is,” Andrew wrote me in an email this week. “Hopefully we both win and we do not have to think about it. She said if I beat her she wants me to keep the seat and not resign just so she could fill it,” he added. Andrew plans to be hanging around outside the polling location at Belmonte Middle School all day Tuesday – holding two campaign signs. “I will be there with my sign, along with my mother’s sign for Housing [Authority],” he said. You’ve got to admire the passion of this young man, who aspires to follow in his mother’s footsteps as a Town Meeting member. You can definitely feel the civic pride that runs through his veins. Andrew loves his town. And he figures he can help it out by getting involved in Town Meeting. Civic-minded Saugus High students respond Saugus Town Clerk Ellen Schena says she is pleased with the response to her efforts to recruit Saugus High School students as paid and volunteer election workers. “I got five doing community service and three are going to be paid – and they’re all juniors,” Ellen told me Wednesday as she geared up for Election Day. “The great part is that I will have a lot of these students back next year when they are seniors. And I’ll probably get a few more on March 3 [the presidential primary] because they need community service. But the clerk said she will still need more adult election workers early next year. “I lose a lot of election workers in March because they are snowbirds during the winter months,” she said. It’s a little early. But if any civic-minded adults are looking for some part-time work around Town Hall early next year, go see Ellen at the clerk’s office and ask about election worker jobs. Campaign finance compliance check Campaign Finance Reports for the Nov. 5 Town Election were due on Monday, Oct. 28. And it looks like there was good compliance on meeting that deadline. All 10 School Committee candidates filed their reports on time. Eleven of the 12 candidates for the Board of Selectmen met the deadline. Alberto Vito Morgante hadn’t submitted a report when we checked the records at the Town Clerk’s Office on Wednesday afternoon. Three of the four candidates for the Housing Authority filed their reports on time. James A. Tozza hadn’t filed his report yet. There’s good reason why candidates for town office in Saugus should be more vigilant than ever in filing their campaign reports. A Suffolk County grand jury indicted Selectman Mark Mitchell on several counts for alleged violations cited by the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) earlier this year. Court documents show Mitchell “falsely reported” the amount of money he raised for his election campaign two years ago. Mitchell reported to the OCPF that he had raised $2,453, two years ago, according to the documents. But a review of his campaign account shows that he actually raised $17,020. Rather than using the money for political purposes, Mitchell used the majority of the $17,020 for personal expenses, according to the documents. Mitchell failed to disclose donors, cash deposits, ATM withdrawals and various political expenditures, the court records show. He was also late in filing his reports and didn’t do so last year until The Saugus Advocate pointed out that they were overdue. Selectmen candidates spend $11,000-plus Campaign Finance Reports filed this week at the Town Clerk’s Office show that Board of Selectmen candidates have spent $11,310.81 so far. Here’s the breakdown: Corinne R. Riley, $3,222.81 Domenic Montano, $1,531.43 Selectman Scott A. Brazis, $1,515.79 Selectman Jeffrey V. Cicolini, $1,236.25 Former Selectman Paul H.

She doesn’t want to be named because of “an incident” that prompted her to seek out an unknown officer who was working a police detail Tuesday (Oct. 29) at 11:00 a.m. on Central Street near Lincoln and Jackson Streets. “I told him about how as I was walking down the street last week and was followed about a block – and I think the guy was maybe looking to possibly rob me,” the woman said in an email.

But voters will also consider: A field of 10 candidates for the five School Committee positions. The three incumbent School Committee members – Chair Jeanette E. Meredith and Members Linda N. Gaieski and Marc C. Magliozzi – face opposition from seven challenges, including two former School Committee members, Arthur Grabowski and John S. Hatch. William A. Marchand, Jr., Joseph “Dennis” Gould, Ryan P. Fisher, Thomas R. Whittredge and Darren S. Ring are the five other challengers. Housing Authority Board of Directors Chair John Cannon and Assistant Treasurer Maureen E. Whitcomb, who were appointed to fill vacancies three years ago, are seeking election to the four-year position. James A. Tozza and Stephen M. Horlick, a Finance Committee member and Town Meeting member in Precinct 8, are also running for Housing Authority. Residents in each of the 10 town precincts will have their neighborhood contests as they elect five members in each precinct to the 50-member body. Voters will go to the polls from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Town Clerk Ellen Schena estimates that next week’s election will draw a turnout of about 25 to 30 percent – roughly up to 5,600 of the town’s 18,693 registered voters. That’s comparable to the March 2015 recall election and the November 2015 regular town election, she said. The 2017 election drew a turnout of close to 22 percent – 4,053 of the 18,617 registered voters, according to the Town Clerk’s Office.

Wheelabrator Saugus: Riley, who got nosed out by Mark Mitchell two years ago, has vowed that she would work to close the ash landfill at Wheelabrator by the year 2025. Several other candidates have said they would also push for closure of the landfill. Cogliano, who served as a selectman for a decade, said he will press for a host agreement with Wheelabrator so the town won’t continue to miss out on millions of dollars a year that other communities receive for being the home of an incinerator. Former longtime Town Moderator Robert J. Long decided to get back into local government this year – running as a candidate for Town Meeting in Precinct 9 – primarily because he wants to see the construction of a West End fire station. “Twice in 1995 and 2003 the voters passed town wide debt exclusions to pay for the building but for various reasons nothing happened,” Long said this week. “But public safety is a must-do necessity. We are building a new school and are playgrounds have been renovated and now it’s time for the West Side Station because lives will depend on it,” he said. Several selectmen candidates have come out with an endorsement of a West End Fire Station. This year’s election campaign has piqued the interest of several former, longtime participants in local government. Peter Manoogian, a veteran of more than three decades in local government, decided to run for a Town Meeting seat in Precinct 10. Meanwhile, Robert A. Palleschi – who served 36 years as a member of the Finance Committee, the last 12 as its chair – is running for a Town Meeting seat in Precinct 7. Looking for a home loan?

The Saugus Real Estate Listings are brought to you by: Hopefully, somebody at the Police Station can figure out who the officer was so he can be thanked. Want to “Shout Out” a fellow Saugonian? This is an opportunity for our paper’s readers to single out – in a brief mention – remarkable acts or achievements by Saugus residents, or an act of kindness or nice gesture. Just send an email (mvoge@comcast.net) with the mention in the subject line of “An Extra Shout Out.” No more than a paragraph.
