A record to run on?
“Poor attendance” has become an issue in
several precincts among candidates running
for Town Meeting
By Mark E. Vogler
T
own Meeting Member
Ronald Wallace takes
pride in the fact that
he has never missed a roll
call vote for an Annual Town
Meeting or a Special Town
Meeting vote since he was
fi rst elected to represent Precinct
5 eight years ago. “I have
never missed – ever. Four
terms, perfect attendance,”
Wallace told The Saugus Advocate
this week.
But Wallace, one of just 14
town residents with perfect
attendance in the 50-member
body, has been complaining
about the issue of attendance
since he decided to pull
nomination papers for a reelection
run several months
ago. And he said he’s glad to
see it become a campaign issue
in some precincts where
residents weren’t represented
well in Town Meeting deliberations
over the past two years.
“Several residents running for
a seat have mentioned poor
attendance as a reason to
vote for them,” Wallace said.
“This is possibly one of the
most important elections
in Saugus history, so voters
need to really do their homework.
Town Meeting has a
long-standing issue with attendance,”
he said.
“In my eight years, I cannot
remember a meeting
with perfect attendance. Your
vote should not be a popularity
contest. If someone is
elected and does not attend
an important vote then residents
are the ones not being
served,” he said.
A Saugus Advocate review
of Town Meeting attendance
records documented in the
Town Clerk’s meeting minutes
posted on the Town of Saugus
website revealed that:
• A dozen members missed

four or more meetings during
the current term.
• Half of those members
(six) attended just 50 percent
or less of the meetings.
• Three of the members
attended just six of the 14
meetings.
• Three members missed
eight of the 14 Annual and
Special Town Meetings that
have been held since a Dec.
16, 2021, Zoom videoconferencing
meeting.
• Sixteen members were absent
at a Special Town Meeting
held on June 26th of this
year. Among those absent
were four of the five members
of Precinct 3 and three of five
members from Precinct 8.
• Precinct 3 had the worst
overall attendance record
among the town’s 10 precincts
– 64 percent.
• Precinct 8 had the next-toworst
attendance record – 67
percent.
• During the 14 meetings
(annual and special) of the
Town Meeting over the past
two years, there were an average
of eight members absent
from each meeting.
Reasons why members
miss meetings
“I see empty seats at Town
Meeting,” Precinct 2 Town
Meeting member Robert J.
Camuso, Sr., said Monday
night (Oct. 16) as the opening
speaker during the first
of three consecutive nights of
Charter Commission forums
cosponsored by SaugusTV
and The Saugus Advocate.
Camuso, who had perfect
attendance at the 14 meetings
held by the Town Meeting
over the past two years,
said he believed residents in
a few Saugus precincts aren’t
getting good representation.
“There’s 50 of us. If we have
a constant 38 to 40 (76 to 80
percent attendance) board, if
you would like for me to represent
Precinct 2 and have a
vote for Precinct 2 …. If I’m
not there, I let you down,” he
said.
So, what should be characterized
as “a poor attendance
record” for a Town Meeting
member? Anything lower
than 70 percent?
The Saugus Advocate put
those questions to Town
Moderator Steve Doherty,
a Precinct 4 Town Meeting
member who had perfect atOur

tendance. “It depends on the
circumstances,” Doherty answered.
“If someone is in a serious
accident and, as a result,
misses three or four weeks
of meetings, but is otherwise
reliable, they shouldn’t
be lumped in with someone
who misses every other meeting
with no excuse,” Doherty
wrote in an email to The Saugus
Advocate.
“First of all, I understand
that there are several legitimate
reasons why someone
may miss a Town Meeting session.
Some examples would
be illness, a family emergency
or, in the case of a Special
Town Meeting, which can
sometimes come up on short
notice, they may have vacation
or other plans that place
them out of town at that
time and can’t be changed,”
Doherty said.
“That said, when citizens
vote for any elected official,
they have an expectation that
that person is going to commit
the time necessary to give
the position its due diligence,”
he said.

on Route 107, apologizing for
a loud noise that frightened
many residents
“On September 25, 2023, at
our waste-to-energy facility in
Saugus, during a routine weekly
test on the turbine, there
was a malfunction of the main
steam stop valve. If there is a
malfunction of this sort, the
backup safety systems divert
the steam from the turbine and
release it through the silencers.
In this case, the steam was
unable to vent through the silencers

the company said.

reasonable explanation for
missing eight meetings. At
age 85, he’s had to deal with
medical issues that kept him

past two years. Otherwise, he
said, he would be there.

safety, the environment, or employees.
After approximately
22 minutes, the problem was
solved, and the noise abated,”
the card noted.
“We know the disruption this
caused and we sincerely apologize
to all those who were
impacted. Since the silencers
were installed in 2021, there
have been many instances in
which steam has been vented
and has been visible, but not
audible.”
“The actions we are taking
include:
• We replaced the valve that
malfunctioned and will complete
biweekly testing of the
drag valve to prevent a recurrence
at 100 Salem Turnpike,
Saugus, MA 01906
• We are in the process of installing

that will be available only to

those members who called or
emailed with the reason that
they needed to be excused

said in his email to The Saugus
Advocate.
“While an absence doesn’t
necessarily indicate negligence
on the part of any official,
unexplained, unexcused
or excessive absences may
cause voters, rightfully so, to
question that person’s commitment
to the duties of the
position,” Doherty said.

There are circumstances

We will work with the Town

• We will reimburse Saugus

• We will fund the installation

DEP ambient monitors, at a location

with the Board of Health.
• We will increase the frequency

it is a volunteer position

Town Meeting’s Peter Manoogian shares his views on what makes
Precinct 10 special and the top issues facing the people he represents
Editor’s Note: For this week’s
column, we sat down with
Town Meeting Member Peter
Manoogian and asked
him what makes Precinct 10
so special and what he sees
as the top issues in the Saugus
neighborhoods he represents.
Manoogian, who
turns 69 next month, spent
34 years as an educator before
retiring. First elected in
1985, he has never lost an
election. He has served East
Saugus and all of Saugus in
a variety of roles, including
three terms as a selectman,
past member and Chairman
of the Saugus Finance Committee,
past Chairman of
the 2007-2009 Charter Commission,
Vice Chairman of
the Saugus School Committee
(2015-2017), and many

is a 1972 graduate of Saugus
High School. He received his
bachelor’s degree in History

10 Town Meeting members who are expected to appear
in the Community Room at the Saugus Public Library next
Monday (Oct. 23) at 6:30 p.m. for the latest “Saugus Over Coffee”
forum. Precinct 10 residents will be able to enjoy a cup of

to their representatives highlight what they think are the key
issues facing Precinct 10. Doors open at 6 p.m. (Saugus Advocate

Q: Please tell me a little
bit about your Saugus roots.
A: My father moved here
in the 40s from the Armenian
enclave in Watertown.
Moving from the urban part
of Watertown to Saugus is
like from Saugus to the inner
woods of Maine.
Q: What makes Precinct 10
special?
A: It’s always had diversity
because it’s the most affordable
part of town. Bristow
Street and Venice Ave.
are an Italian enclave. Demographically,
East Saugus
has had a history of ethnic
and cultural diversity. We
have many Jews in East Saugus,
many Poles and French
Canadians. We once had the
largest lobster fleet on the
East Coast based right here
in Saugus. It’s still an economic
factor. We have two
active boatyards in East Saugus
and social clubs – the
Italian American Club and
the Fox Hill Yacht Club. The
tight-knit families for many
years have characterized
East Saugus. The area has always
had its share of political
characters. East Saugus
has always had people active
in government.
Q: Please tell me a little bit
about the history.
A: There was a controversy
that they were going to
build the Town Hall where it
is now, so East Saugus wanted
to secede from the town.
East Saugus was going to
break away, so to pacify East
Saugus, new water pipes
were installed. A lot of your
infrastructure is in East Saugus.
The sewer pump station
used to be a public library.
Saugus General Hospital
was right on Chestnut
Street. We had the Ballard
School.
There’s a lot of interesting
history in this part of town.
Washington and Lafayette
went over Boston Road to
get to Salem. There was talk
of having an oil tank farm
here in the 30s. The Patriots
were talking about building
a football stadium here
in the 1960s. There was also
talk of a commuter rail station.
A lot of noted Saugus
High athletes came from
East Saugus. A lot of GE factory
workers and World War
II veterans lived in East Saugus.
Q:
What about famous
people who lived here?
A: Marian L. Starkey, who
wrote “The Devil in Massachusetts:
A Modern Enquiry
into the Salem Witch Trials.”
Q: Anything else?
A: The great paradox for
East Saugus is that it generated
so many elected officials.
But in spite of that,
these same elected officials
have sacrificed East Saugus.
East Saugus has been affected
by the globalization of inASKS

government more agile and
effi cient?
2. How can we simplify and
For those who don’t know
me, I’m Joe - I bought a home
on Baker Hill in 2015 with my
wife Katie after growing up
on Essex Street and graduating
from Saugus High in 2009.
I currently work in Boston as
a registered Architect. I have
two young daughters, Amelia
and Aurora, and a Boston
Terrier named Porter. I got involved
in local politics in 2019
serving as a two-term Town
Meeting member in Precinct
2, member of the Planning
Board, member of the Economic
Development Committee,
Chairman of the Cliftondale
Revitalization Committee,
and member of the Sidewalk
Committee.
I believe meaningful, periodic
discussions and debate
about our charter is healthy. We
last considered changes in the
charter in 2009 and even then,
a considerable number of residents
and the commission itself
felt it was antiquated, narrowly
failing the at-large vote.
That was 14 years ago. There
were some great ideas in that
proposal that are still relevant
today and I think there are
some further refi nements that
can help us improve the function,
agility, effi ciency, accountability,
and temperature of our
government and its associated
bodies.
A charter revision will affect
an entire generation of
Saugonians that are moving
here, raising young families,
and will shape what Saugus
will become the most long
clarify our processes and structure
to increase citizen participation
and engagement?
3. How do we better delegate
authority beyond a single
individual?
4. How do we promote better
collaboration and cooperation
between and across
boards and committees?
5. How can we increase acJoe

to the Saugus Advocate)
term. I feel that voice is a critical
one in this race as one in a
nine-member body and I am
committed to representing
this perspective.
‘I don’t support people, I
support ideas.’
That statement, one that I
have said to many over the
past 4 years, rubs some people
the wrong way in a Town
where skepticism and cynicism
looms large and political
connections run deep and carry
weight, but it’s something
I’ve never been interested in,
even at the expense of an idea
that I bring forward.
While I’m resistant to prescribe
specifi cally what I think
should be changed in the
charter as that collaboration
and compromise needs to
happen between the nine of
us carefully over the next 1824
months, I can tell you where
my focus is and the questions
I’ll be asking:
1. How can we make our
countability, visibility, communication,
and access to our
town offi cials?
6. How can we promote
more consistently competitive
elections where people know
their representatives and what
they stand for?
7. And how can we best
communicate these proposed
changes to the residents of
Saugus to be informed as to
why this change improves our
government?
These questions each have
nuance and complexity associated
with each of them,
but I do believe they are the
right ones to ask. This debate
needs to be more than who
will be the next chief executive
in town, who’s on what
“side”, or what hot political issue
is being debated at the
moment. This is a long-term
change that will profoundly
aff ect generations of Saugonians
and ultimately how we
function. I ask that you vote
YES for the Charter Commission
and humbly ask for one
of your nine votes to be a collaborator
in this process.
Thank you.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 20, 2023
~ The Old Sachem ~
The Golden Age Continues
By Bill Stewart
A
fter four glorious seasons
of Saugus football,
we turn now to
the 1942 season. The World
War was on and living was
difficult, with ration cards for
tires and gas, for meat products
and many other items.
The products were necessary
to be used by the US military
in Europe and Asia.
The season started with a
32 to zip win over Chelsea,
13-0 over Woburn, a 6-6 tie
with Leominster, 14-7 over
Gloucester, 34 to zip over
Amesbury, 13 to zip over
Melrose, 26 to zero over Revere,
34-13 over Swampscott,
6 nothing over Marblehead
and 12-6 over Wakefield
on Turkey Day, a record
of 9-0-1. The Sachems scored
187 points for the season, allowing
only 32 against them,
and only Swampscott scored
more than one touchdown.
Harrington had 9 TDs and Shipulski
had 4. The season saw
outstanding defense from
Wladkowski, Flaherty, Koschei,
Goss and Daniels. The
Sachems completed another
Class C Championship. A
Saugus team of Emma, Forti,
Whyte, Parsons, Waugh,
Pike, O’Neil, Herbert Johnson,
Gould and Richard Johnson
won the North Shore Invitational
Cross Country Championship.
The
1943 season brought
some new talent to the Sachems,
including Art Statuto
– who went on to Notre Dame
then the Bills and Rams in the
NFL – Barressi, Waybright,
Babcock, Reiniger, Dukeshire
and Falasca. The state association
moved the Sachems
up to Class B after they destroyed
five seasons of opponents.
Saugus beat Chelsea
7-0, lost to Leominster 6-19,
beat Beverly 20-6, Gloucester
20-0, Amesbury 6-0, lost to
Melrose 0-6, beat Revere 1312,
Woburn 20-6, tied Swampscott
at 6, lost to Marblehead
0-13 and won the Thanksgiving
match with Wakefield 7-0.
Revere had been unbeaten
before they met the Sachems.
The Sachems went 7-3-1 in
1943. That year saw the Sachems
team of Dan Sharp,
Doug Waybright, Bob McCarthy,
and Al Mason win the
Mass. State High School Relay
Carnival Quarter Mile Relay.
They also finished first in
the Northeastern Invitational
High School Track Meet.
The 1944 season was another
great time. They beat Chelsea
7-0, Woburn 20-0, Beverly
20-0, lost to Amesbury 6-0,
lost to Melrose 19-0, beat
Newburyport 32-7, lost to
Classical 9-0, and Swampscott
7-0, beat Marblehead 7-0 and
tied Wakefield on Turkey Day.
There were a lot of new faces
from the tough teams before
and the Sachems went
6-3-1. Doug Waybright was
outstanding for the Sachems
along with Frankie Pyszko.
Their third season as Class
B included another State
Championship in 1945. They
beat Watertown 13-0, Beverly
31-0, Chelsea 6-0, Amesbury
6-0, Melrose 13-0, Newburyport
31-6, Lynn Classical
24-13, Swampscott 32-0,
Marblehead 25-0 and Wakefield
on Thanksgiving 260.
The Sachems scored 187
points, gave up 19 and had
8 shutouts. Captain Art Spinney
led the team and went on
to Boston College as a standout.
After college graduation
he played 11 years in the NFL
for the Baltimore Colts, played
in 2 Pro Bowls, and on a team
that won 2 NFL Championships.
Some new players included
Charley Simpson, Bob
Kane, John Quinlan, Dick Allen,
Tom Sheehan, Gene Decareau
and Jim Blundell. Eight
Sachem players played in the
North Shore All-Star game:
Art Spinney, Dick Allen, Don
Reiniger, John Quinlan, Bob
Thurell, Bruce Waybright,
Frank Pyszko and Bob Evans.
The 1946 season had the Sachems
playing a spring season
game against Peabody,
then again on Turkey Day.
The Sachems beat Watertown
34-0, lost to Beverly 7-6, beat
Chelsea 6-0, Amesbury 7-0,
Revere 21-0, tied Lynn English
at zero, beat Classical 1412,
Swampscott 34-13, lost to
Marblehead 0-7 and to Peabody
0-6. Saugus scored 122
points, gave up 45 and won 5
shutouts. Saugus had a cheering
team of Hatch, O’Grady,

Sacco seeks Precinct 3 TM seat
M
ark Victor Sacco announces
his candidacy
for Precinct 3
Town Meeting Member. Mark
resides at 16 Westford Street
with his wife Christina and his
1 year old daughter Charlee.
He is a homeowner and taxpayer.
Mark is a lifelong Saugus
3rd generation resident.
He graduated in 2009 from
Saugus High School. He holds
a BA Degree in Construction
Management from Wentworth
Institute and is employed as a
project superintendent.
Marks states he is interested
in running to represent
precinct three especially after
noticing the poor attendance
of precinct 3 town meeting
members. “Upon checking the
Town Clerk’s website and looking
at the attendance record
for Precinct 3’s Town Meeting
Members it was appalling to
see that three of the five incumbents
missed half of the
meetings. Precinct 3 has worst
attendance record in comparison
to the rest of the precincts
during this past term,”
Mark said.
Your vote can make a big
difference this November,
but what does it mean?
Voting YES means...

Of note, last year Mark was
instrumental in organizing
opposition to adding more
apartments, taller buildings,
and more traffic in Cliftondale
Square. “It is my hope that Saugus
can remain a town with
quality services and amenities
for not only my family but
for all the families of Precinct
3,” he said.
Mark believes it would be an
honor to represent his hometown
in precinct 3 and having
one of your five votes is appreciated.
He pledges to show up
to the meetings, be accessible
and vote your interest.

Mike Serino seeks to keep selectman seat
~ Political Announcement ~
Dear Neighbors and Voters
I am honored to announce
my re-election candidacy to
the Board of Selectmen. I am
a graduate of Saugus High
School and the University of
Massachusetts. My first involvement
in our community
was at the age of 22, when I was
fi rst elected as a Town Meeting
Member from Precinct 10. I am
currently fi nishing up my 14th
year on the Board of Selectmen.
I also served as the former
Chairman of the Board of Assessors
and the Saugus Conservation
Commission. Moreover,
I was a member of the Town
Meeting Charter Commission,
serving as Vice-Chairman. As
you can tell, I love Saugus!
Financially, Saugus is in great
shape. The Town continues
to have yearly balanced budgets,
with 20 million dollars
in our reserve accounts. Saugus’s
bond rating is AA+, the
highest in Saugus’s history. We
continue to make investments
in our schools, parks and playgrounds,
roads, water and sewer
systems.
Over-Development is a challenging
issue facing Saugus. In
2015, Town Meeting passed a

of Avalon Bay and Essex
Landing, I became concerned
with the loss of our commercial
tax base, the excessive number
of apartments, and the impact
on traffi c, public safety and our
school system. Therefore, I authored
several zoning changes
that would increase our
commercial tax base and signifi
cantly reduce the number
of apartments. Town Meeting
supported my changes (35-5).
There has to be a balance between
quality growth and protecting
the quality of life in our

Riley seeks third term as selectman
~ Political Announcement ~
M
y name is Corinne
Riley, and I am
seeking reelection
to the Saugus Board of
Selectmen (BOS). I am a lifelong
Saugus resident and
SHS graduate. My husband
Chris and I own and live in
my childhood home with
our two pups. We have three
adult children Dan, Elena
and Olivia, and are proud
grandparents of Jacob and
Cameron.
Since being elected to the
BOS in 2019, I have initiated
the annual Saugus 4-1-1
event (Oct ’22), Citizens Input
Forum (March ’20), and
Empty School Building Forum
(Nov ’22). I’ve worked
successfully with Representative
Wong to bring
funding for our first flashing
crosswalk signs to Saugus
(installed Jul ’21). I also
worked with BOS, Town
Meeting, and Representative
Wong again to pass a
law establishing the Saugus
Emergency Relief Fund (Jan
’21), funded by voluntary
donations on tax bills. I initiated
the Covid vigil to remember
those who we lost
(Sept ’21), and a Thank you
reception (Jun ’23) for all
employees/volunteers who
got us through it; they were
the heroes. I was a committee
member on the WIN
Sub-committee and Cliftondale
Revitalization Committee.
In the interest of transparency
and accountability,
I’ve insisted on improved
communications with the
Town Manager, which happens
via quarterly update
meetings with the BOS, and
insisted on public evaluations
of the Town Manager
which now occur annually.
I don’t just run to occupy a
seat; I put in the work, cooperate
with everyone, and get
things done.
My priorities on the BOS
have been public safety,
communication, ensuring
all voices are heard, and
making Saugus a better
place to live. Accordingly,
my top priority for the
next two years is the long
overdue West-Side Fire Station.
Another priority is the
completion and rollout of a
SMS-compatible communication
service for residents,
so that timely updates on
emergency situations and
other updates like road closures
can get pushed to residents’
smartphones in real-time.
Next is Economic
Development and Safety
Improvements in Cliftondale
Square. Traffic and
pedestrian issues are wellknown,
and while some
preliminary work has been
done, it’s time to see some
progress on the ground and
in the vacant storefronts.
Another important issue
facing us is the recent influx
of hundreds of migrants
to hotels along Routes 1
and 99, causing real stress
on schools, police, fire, and
health departments. We
need to cooperate locally
and with our state delegation
to help the migrants
and reduce (or pay for) the
burden on town resources.
Finally, the Golden Hills
Playground is a safety hazard
and needs a complete
replacement. Town Meeting
authorized $2M funding
for playground investment
this Spring, and I’d like
to see the Golden Hills Playground
project fast-tracked.
Aside from the BOS, I’ve
served on the School Committee,
secured AEDs for
all public schools, secured
funding for the FIRST Robotics
Program, taught religious
education, coached
Little League, belong to the
Saugus Lions Club and SauCorinne
Riley (Courtesy photo
to The Saugus Advocate)
gus Veterans Council, and
fought privatization of the
Saugus school custodians.
I respectfully request your
vote on November 7. Thank
you!

schools. I am the son of John
& Josephine. Dad family came
from Baker Hill, and Mom’s
family, the Monico’s, came
from Seagirt Ave. Thank you
for taking time to read my official
announcement, seeking
re-election to the Saugus
School Committee. I am truly
blessed to be the husband
of Wendy, also a lifelong resident
of Saugus. We have two
amazing children – Andrew,
who is a Junior at the University
of Massachusetts Lowell,
studying Mechanical Engineering.
He was a graduate
of the SHS Honors Academy
Program, and the Captain
of the Golf Team class of
2021 – our daughter Kendall
who is a Junior at the Saugus
High School Complex, also in
the Honors Academy Program,
and a very proud member of
the girls’ soccer team, and girls’
golf team.
I am seeking one of your five
votes for the School Committee
because I feel I bring experience
and professional
background to make a difference
as one member. I
am very proud to have been
elected and have served on
this school committee before
in the early 90’s for 6 years, 4
of those years as the Chairman.
I stepped off the committee
when my son was born
to be a dad and make my focus
our family. I have also
served on Town Meeting for 4
years. So, I bring a lot of institutional
knowledge and background
to the position. I have
a career I love. I have been a
first responder, an Emergency
Medical Technician for the
past 39 years, and love every
minute. I am the current Executive
Vice President of Action
Ambulance Service Inc.
and the New Hampshire &
Maine Division Chief of the
company. Over the last 25
years, I have also served as a
Vice President of Human Resources,
and Director of New
Business Development. So
as you can see, with my professional
background, I understand
how important it is
for clear communication, to
have structured plans with
timelines, as well as defined
goals, with team support for
success.
I am very proud of the volunteer
work I have done for
several youth organizations in
town. I served on the Executive
Board of Saugus National
Little League, for over 8 years.
I have Coached the “C” Team
for Saugus Pop Warner, for 4
years. I have also taught confirmation
classes for the Saugus
Catholic Collaborative at
Blessed Sacrament for 2 years.
My most rewarding coaching
experience was being
an Assistant Varsity Hockey
Coach at Saugus High
School from 1997 through
2002 achieving several conference
titles, and 3 Division
2 state championships. I am
also very proud to have been
inducted to the SHS Sports
Hall of Fame with the 1999
Hockey Team, Class of 2018.
We have several big issues
with the district that I want to
see to completion. I also want
to continue the forward momentum
of our school district,
with district wide student
achievement, state rankings,
recruit and retention of
faculty, and work to support,
and enhance the Kids come
first after school program, as
well as summer enrichment
programs.
With my experience, and my
unique ability to bring two
sides together for the common
good, as well as a positive
outlook, and an advocate

of agreeing to respectfully disagree
on issues. I know I can
make a difference and continue
to work to change our
school districts and towns culture
for the positive, acting as
one town not separate departments.
I
care about our school district
and town. Both have given
a lot to me and my family,
and I love giving back. Please
consider me for one of your
five votes. Thank you!
Mark Bell seeks TM re-election in Precinct 1
M
y name is Mark Bell
and I am running for
re-election for Town
Meeting in Precinct 1.
After growing up in Stoneham,
I moved to Saugus in
2008 with my wife Andrea,
who is a lifelong Saugonian.
One aspect of Saugus I was
immediately drawn to was
how much Saugonians genuinely
care for their town. The
amount of pride the people
of Saugus have in their town
was always inspiring to see
and something I wanted to become
part of.
Since being elected in 2021
to Town Meeting, I have always
tried my best to help
people in the precinct with issues
that impact them in their
daily lives, whether that be
getting potholes paved and
filled in Hamilton Street Plaza,
helping in rerouting construction
trucks off Taylor Street

tion after wires and trees were

a town department for a resident
if they have a question
or issue about who to contact
for a town service. I truly believe
in the motto “All politics
is local.”
I have a Bachelor’s Degree
from Merrimack College in
Political Science and a Masters
Degree in Public Administration
from UMass Boston.
I have twenty years of public
service working as a correctional
officer in Middlesex
County, for the US Department
of Homeland Security,
and currently as a
Whistleblower Investigator
for OSHA. Part of my daily
responsibilities working for
OSHA is helping parties come
to a mutual agreement and
reach a consensus, which I
have found to be beneficial in
areas while serving on Town
Meeting.
My wife and I have two
young boys in the Saugus
Public Schools. Saugus has
great youth volunteers and I
am proud to be one of them,
whether that be volunteering
in Saugus Little League, Saugus
Youth Basketball, Saugus
Troop 62, or the Lynnhurst 4th
of July Party.
I have a one hundred percent
attendance record for
Town Meeting and take my
responsibilities for it seriously.
I have enjoyed serving on
Town Meeting this term and
humbly ask for your vote on
November 7, 2023 for Precinct
1 Town Meeting member. I will
be #7 on the ballot. Thank you!
Karen Rakinic seeks
TM seat in Precinct 6
D
ear Saugus residents
of Precinct 6:
My name is Karen
Rakinic and I am running to
be a Town Meeting Member
in the precinct where I have
lived at 24 Jackson Street for
the last 30 years. I have seen
many changes, challenges
and improvements in all areas
of our hometown. I have
loved living here where my
son attended school and enjoyed
sports, boy scouts and
other great town activities.
I received an MEd from Lesley
University in Expressive
Therapy. My work history
consisted of Social Work focused
on some of the State’s
most vulnerable residents
including children, the disabled
and low-income seniors.
I
recently retired from the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and would now
like to contribute to our representative
form of government
to help further the future
and well-being of all our
Town residents.
My priorities include education,
the environment,
recycling, senior services, a
transparent government and
well-informed citizens.
I hope to bring the same
compassion and thoughtfulness
to my participation
in our Town government
should I have the honor of
being elected. I feel very fortunate
to enjoy a great quality
of life here in Saugus and
hope to have the opportunity
to support that for future
generations.
Please consider giving me
one of your votes on November
7th!

Saugus mom wins “Mrs. Essex County” title at Topsfield Fair
S
augus native Lori Burke
has been going to the
Topsfield Fair most of
her life, enjoying the events
while spending quality time
with her mom – Phyllis Berrett
– a longtime fair volunteer.
But Burke, 50, said
nothing can top the memories
produced by this year’s
fair when she was crowned
Mrs. Essex County earlier
this month – on the same
day (Oct. 8) that her mother
decided to retire as a fair
volunteer.
“The Topsfield Fair has been
a part of my life for as long as
I have been alive, and I have
never missed a year!” Burke
told The Saugus Advocate.

baking contests in the Foods
Department at Coolidge Hall

of the year can make a big difference,
too. Some town residents
on Town Meeting may
not be able to attend because
they have already made family
plans for vacation. “The

is always the first Monday in
May so the attendance for the
ATM is high because TMM’s
[Town Meeting members] already
know the date(s),” Schena
wrote in an email to The
Saugus Advocate.
“It is the STM’s [Special
Town Meeting] where the attendance
[might] be lower
because these come up with
shorter notice time. Many
absences for STM usually
[are] due to work schedules.
There were a few absences
in the past due to illness and
of course some for personal
matters. Sometimes life can

the Co-Chair of the
Foods Department, and as a
teenager, I began going with
her to volunteer my time. I
get in the way,” she said.
Perfect Attendance
It should be noted that
there are pockets of perfection
clustered in several town
precincts. Eight of them have
at least one member with perfect

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 20, 2023
~ SHS Sachems Sports roundup ~
SAUGUS GIRLS’ SOCCER
NETS 10TH WIN
The Saugus High School girls’ soccer
team notched its 10th win of the season
with a 6-0 victory over Northeastern
Conference rival Salem.
Madi Femino netted a hat trick, and
Shawn Sewell, Shay Sewell and Taylor
Deleidi had the other goals. Shawn
Sewell added an assist, and Veronica
Ortega and Liliana Hernandez added
helpers.
Danvers handed Saugus its third
loss of the season, 4-1. Natalie Justice
scored unassisted for the Sachems.
SAUGUS GOLF
GETS SPARK FROM
YOUNGSTERS IN LOSS
Beverly topped Saugus on the links,
51-21. Captain Ryan Jones tied his
match at the number one spot. His play
highlighted a great day for the team
and its young eighth-graders.
SAUGUS VOLLEYBALL
FALLS IN FIVE TO
SWAMPSCOTT
Saugus took Swampscott to a fifth set
but fell short in a 3-2 loss.
“It was back-and-forth each set with
each team staying within three to five
points,” Saugus coach Mikayla Niles
said. “Our girls are playing phenomenal.”
Setter
Aly Mabee has been working
very hard with an assistant coach “and
it has been such an improvement from
her,” Niles said. “And I am so happy to
see her setting to the ability I know
that she can.”
Outside hitter and captain Ava Rogers
has been having a phenomenal
year. Ana Silva, Saugus’ Libero, another
captain, sacrifices and leaves her
body on the floor every single day. “She
leaves her heart and soul out there after
every game,” Niles said. “I couldn’t be
prouder of her and her effort.”
The coach also cited Nina Penachio.
“She’s been having a phenomenal
game upfront,” Niles said. “Her attitude
has just been so well keeping the girls’
heads in the game. Everyone else has
just been contributing so much on and
off the court. It’s just been really good.
We’re getting really close to the end of
the season and we definitely want to
clinch a playoff game so we gotta pull
some strings and get some wins out of
these next couple of weeks, but I definitely
have faith in the girls.”
SAUGUS FIELD HOCKEY
COMPETITIVE IN LOSS TO
TOP-TIER TEAM
Saugus has dropped its last four
field hockey games but has been
showing marked improvement.
“We have been battling with just
enough players on varsity with some
of the games bringing up one to two
junior varsity players and only having
six players on junior varsity,” Saugus
coach Barbara Guarente said. “Although
our young players have improved
tremendously, it is tough to
ask them to be at the level of the seniors
of the other teams. That is a
five-year difference. We are extremely
proud of the level of play the girls
are demonstrating in the last few
weeks. We have gone from losing badly
in the beginning of the season to
now being very competitive with the
top teams in our league.”
For instance, the team lost to Danvers,
2-0. This was a battle where the
girls played great defense, according
to their coach.
“We held them in the first quarter,”
Guarente said. “They scored in the
second, and their second goal came
in the second quarter off the stick of
one of my players. We held them for
the rest of the game. It’s tough playing
these talented teams with no subs.”
Saugus’ Senior Night is Friday night,
Oct. 20. Ceremonies begin at 5:15 at
home against Revere.
The team’s seniors are Jessica Bremberg,
captain, Grace Fiore, captain,
Bella Natalucci, captain, and Samantha
Murray.
SAUGUS BOYS’ SOCCER
SPLITS A PAIR OF 2-0
MATCHES
Saugus beat Salem, 2-0, at home last
week. Nick Oliveira had a goal in that
match. Northeast Metro Tech topped
Saugus, 2-0.
SAUGUS RUNNERS POWER
NORTHEAST
Northeast Metro Tech cross country
held a home meet against three other
teams last week. It raced against
Innovation, Greater Lawrence Tech
and Mystic Valley.
The team did not pull off a win, but
a few of its runners improved their
times including Saugus runner Gino
Chiaravallotti with a time of 21:27. He
finished 18th overall, and he was
the fifth runner for Northeast. Kason
Imbrogna continues to improve
his times each week too. He ran the
5k course at Breakheart Reservation
in 24:48.
The girls’ team did not win, but
they continue to improve each
week, too. Amanda Oliveira of Saugus
was the seventh runner across
the line and she ran the 5k course
in 24:52. She was the first Northeast
girl to cross the line. Annabella Tum
of Saugus was the fifth Northeast
runner across the line with a time
of 29:25.
Football Sachems look to snap three-game
slide after Gloucester loss
By Dom Nicastro
T
he Saugus High School
football team dropped
its third straight game
– 27-8 on the road to Gloucester
last Friday – and fell to 3-3.
The Sachems are hoping to
bounce back on the road in
a non-league matchup at Falmouth
at 1 p.m. on Saturday,
Oct. 21. Falmouth is 1-5 and
coming off a 27-6 loss to Dennis-Yarmouth.

dustry. The thing that’s always
frustrated me is people
are so willing to say “Put
it down there.”
Q: So, what are pressing
imone had an interception for
the Sachems.
“We’ve got hit bad by the injury
bug,” DeSimone said. “It’s
especially hard to lose your
starting quarterback and captain
for the year especially with
the kind of player Cam Preston
is. Also losing Braden [Faiella]
for two games and losing Danny
Shea for the year. It’s been
tough, but it’s easy to use injuries
as an excuse. Things like
this happen in life. It’s about
turning adversity into opportunity.”
Faiella
had a knee injury
and returned for the Gloucester
game. He said he is feeling
good right now and lookissues
for you in Precinct
10? What would you like to
see happen to improve your
neighborhood?
A: Two things that I would
like to see; I want the ash
landfill shutdown. I don’t
ing to help Saugus turn things
around in the final two regular-season
games. Saugus
is ranked No. 25 in Division 5
and needs to be in the top 16
to make the postseason.
“We definitely need to work
on our offensive line for Falmouth,”
Faiella said, “but we’ve
already started the week hot
on the line and gotta keep
on working. The first three
games the run game was very
strong so that is a real big
strength and also our defense
as a whole when we are on our
game is very strong.”
Faiella said Falmouth seems
like it has some good athletes.
It runs the triple option, “which
think the people of Saugus
and East Saugus should
have to bear the burden of
accepting a substandard
trash-burning facility that
can’t possibly meet current
emission standards and –
might be complicated, but I
believe in the team to shut that
down,” he added.
DeSimone said Saugus this
week has been getting back
to basics on improving everything.
“Football is a team
sport,” he said. “It’s hard to say
there is only one area of our
game to improve on. We need
to be better as a team. When
we were at full strength our
offense was extremely balanced,
we were hard to stop.
Not much to do when the run
game was rushing for over
100 yards and we were throwing
for 300 yards a game.
Not to mention coach [Greg]
Bluestein’s defense has been
currently outrageous – is to
allow an unlined ash landfill
to double in height over the
next 20 years.
The second thing I’d like
to see happen would be
the demolition of the Balshut-down
all year and won us
some games early on.”
As for Falmouth, DeSimone
said the record is deceiving.
“I think Falmouth is a really
good team,” DeSimone said.
“Their record doesn’t show it.
They’ve also played a really
tough schedule but played all
those teams extremely tough.
They’re a big triple option
team which can create problems
for us defensively if we
aren’t on our keys. But overall
I feel good about the game,
hopefully to get things rolling
again going into senior night
vs. Winthrop.”

Saugus Gardens in the Fall
Here’s what’s blooming in town this week to make your walks more enjoyable
By Laura Eisener
“
Little Shop of Horrors” being
performed soon by
the Theatre Company of
Saugus may prompt people to
think a bit about carnivorous
plants, real and fanciful. The
popularity of this classic play
has also inspired some spooky
artificial plants I have seen on
sale among the Halloween
decorations in many shops.
“Audrey II” is often described
as a cross between a Venus flytrap
and a butterwort.
Venus flytraps (Dionaea
muscipula) are the most dramatic
and readily recognized
of North American carnivorous
plants, although they
grow wild only in North and
South Carolina and possibly a
few sites in Florida. Wild populations
have dramatically decreased
due to habitat loss
and poaching. The plants legally
sold as house plants are
grown in greenhouses and not
wild collected, which has been
illegal since the mid-20th century
but still occurs despite being
elevated to the level of a
felony. As a houseplant, they
can help control small spiders
and insects and serve as
a source of macabre entertainment
because you may see the
leaves snap shut when a suitable
insect enters the trap.
While Venus flytraps won’t
be found outdoors in New England,
there are several other
carnivorous plants that do
grow here. Sundews (Drosera
spp.) and pitcher plants
(Sarracenia spp.) grow in
boggy areas. Bladderworts
(Utricularia spp.) include land
growing and aquatic plants.
I have seen them blooming
in local ponds, including at
Breakheart Reservation, in

Reservation and elsewhere.

the
summer – the air-filled
bladders that allow them to
float trap small aquatic creatures
and insects just under
the water’s surface while the
flowers float on top of the
water. Butterworts (Pinguicula
spp.) grow in moist, rocky
places and have sticky traps
on their leaves.
The first “Saugus Gardens”
column I wrote in April of
2020 featured forsythia (Forsythia
spp.), which was at
that time blooming in every
neighborhood in town, the
four petalled golden blossoms
lighting up gardens
even before the shrub’s leaves
emerged from their buds. In
spring of 2023, the cheery
flowers were noticeably lacking,
along with many other
spring flowers we were accustomed
to seeing. As sometimes
happens when weather
is capricious, a few flowers
may come out at unusual
times of the year. I have sometimes
seen blossoms on forsythia
in November, before
A small collection of fall bounty – pumpkins, squash, late tomatoes and fallen leaves – adorns
these porch steps. (Photo courtesy of Laura Eisener)
or after the fall foliage leaves,
and in January when there
may be snow but mild temperatures.
My own forsythia
bushes have no flowers, but I
have seen potted ones in the
nursery with a few blossoms
out, and bouquets of blooming
forsythia branches were
for sale this week in at least
one store on Route 1. The forsythia
in the vase on my table
certainly did not grow in Saugus,
and I suspect they were
flown up to New England
from South America, which
supplies many bouquets to
the northern hemisphere. It
is spring now in the southern
hemisphere, so we might
expect some gardens there
to look the way April often
does for us.
Forsythia is sometimes confused
with another four-petForsythia
in the fall adds an unexpected touch to a seasonal tablescape
including sunflowers. (Photo courtesy of Laura Eisener)
alled yellow flower that grows
on a shrub: common witch
hazel (Hamamelis virginiana).
Our native witch hazel is in
bloom right now, it’s very narrow
petals still somewhat hidden
by the foliage. The flowers
become more noticeable
in November when the leaves
are gone and may persist into
December if temperatures

on Saturday as planned, so “The
Pumpkin Patch” sends its apologies to
the volunteers who did show up – and
this explanation and reassurance that
there’s still plenty of pumpkins for the
picking after the second shipment was
delayed a day.)
Another “Pumpkin Truck” arrived
at First Congregational Church in
Saugus Center this past Sunday (Oct.
15). In spite of breakdown problems
on Saturday, the truck arrived
on Sunday afternoon with the final
shipment of pumpkins. Plenty of
pumpkins of all sizes are now displayed
on the church lawn and will
be available for purchase every day

Q: What are the biggest
challenges facing the residents

opinion?
A: There are several challenges.
The rising waters are
one. People in the Houston

Winston Street; that
area – are seeing waters
rise more frequently, flooding,

“We very much appreciate the
volunteers who participated in
the unloading of the truck with all
the changes and on short-notice,”
Pumpkin Patch Coordinator Carl
Spencer said. “A special thanks to
Patrick Follis from Agganis Construction
for off-loading the truck and
Bob Camuso, administrator of Anything
in Our Town of Saugus Facebook,
for providing updates of the
truck’s arrival. Their help was outstanding
and much appreciated.
Without their help the task would
have been impossible.”
Visit the Pumpkin Patch! It offers
a great way to get in the fall spirit.

change. Also, the impact of
the incinerator, which more
and more people in Saugus
are aware of since the latest
noise incident, which woke
up all of Saugus.
And also the opportunities
– there are opportunities in
East Saugus, too. There’s opportunity
for quality growth
and redevelopment that is
consistent with what you
would want to see in a New
England coastal town. The
opportunity will come once
the Riverwalk gets built and
the completion of the Fox
Hill/Belden Bly Bridge. This
will be a big improvement
for the area for the people
who use the water. And the
Riverwalk will result in a rebuild
of the boat launch
area. So, there’s definitely
opportunity and there’s
challenges to that as well.
Q: What about the package
store property at 206
Lincoln Ave. – the site of
the former Amato’s Liquor
Store?
A: As far as the package
store property, the people
really came together in
great East Saugus fashion.
They came together, they
raised money. They made it

pave the way for Ballard Gardens, a passive park. (Saugus Advocate

clear that they were going
to fight any proposal. They
tried to claim that it was
an educational facility under
the Dover Amendment.
When we asked for the details
that would support the
Dover Amendment, they
couldn’t produce anything.
Q: Right.
A: So, it was obviously a
ruse to get into an apartment
building. But that being
said, I think the neighbors
are open-minded –
because it is commercially
zoned – to some sort of
rezoning for modest use
of condominiums, or multifamily,
that is consistent
with the neighborhood and
results in improvements to
the sidewalk and drainage.
So, the neighbors are not
opposed to seeing the site
being redeveloped in a noncommercial
way.
But someone has to come
forth with a proposal. Like
any proposal, talk to the
neighbors first. Don’t try to
steamroll over them.
Q: Any other big issues
in Precinct 10? There’s no

The Sounds of Saugus
By Mark E. Vogler
Good morning, Saugus!
This time next week, your
head might be spinning a little
as you try to do some homework
on the 27 candidates running
for nine seats on the Saugus
Charter Commission in the
Nov. 7 town election.
I know my head was whirling
at high speed this week after
having completed the task
of moderating three straight
nights (Monday-Wednesday)
of forums in the second floor
auditorium at Town Hall, which
were attended by 23 of the
candidates. In my 51 years as
a newspaper reporter covering
local politics, I have never
had to interview so many candidates.in
one setting.
In my days as the Lake County
government reporter for
The Leesburg Commercial in
Central Florida, I had to cover
a dozen candidates running
for county commission – but
not all at once. And it was kind
of a fun assignment, because I
had to travel all over the country,
meeting the candidates at
their homes or offices. I was assigned
to do long human interest
pieces for the paper. And it
was a lot of fun, doing magazine
length interviews. It was
manageable, too, because my
work was spread out over a
couple weeks.
The recent forums I moderated
in Saugus Town Hall were
a lot more challenging, especially
organizing a plan of action
and sending emails to the
candidates on very short notice.
But, after three nights of
talks from candidates whose
names will be on the Nov. 7
election ballot, at least the voters
will have a good source of
knowledge about the Charter
Commission candidates and
the process for studying and
making refinements in Saugus
government – if that’s an option
that Saugus voters want
to consider. Stay tuned.
SAVE Selectmen
candidates forum Oct. 25
Saugus Action Volunteers for
the Environment (SAVE) will
sponsor a forum for candidates
for the Board of Selectmen on
Wednesday, Oct. 25, starting
at 7 p.m. at the Saugus Town
Hall Auditorium (298 Central
St.). Doors will be open to the
public at 6:30 p.m. for this free
event.
As we have in the past, SAVE
provides this public-service
forum for candidates for the
Board of Selectmen so that
each candidate can share their
views of the critical environmental
issues facing our town.
The event will also be televised
live on Comcast Channel 8 by
SCTV in order to reach as many
residents as possible. In addition,
the public will be able to
view the event the following
day at https://vimeo.com/saugustelevision.
SAVE hopes the
public will plan to join us for
this informative event.

83 years old.
Bob was born January 25,
1940, to Mary (Ferrante) and

Ronald, at the age of 8,
and was lovingly adopted by
his second father, John Kodzis

Bob is a graduate of Saugus
High school, class of 1957. He
fell in love with and married
Joan Malcolm of Everett and
enlisted in the coast guard
shortly after high school. After
two years of active duty he returned
to Saugus, MA to help
raise his growing family.
But there was a burgeoning
entrepreneur inside Bob
Kodzis.
At age 28 he opened Kodzis
Barber Shop in Saugus Center
where he proceeded to cut
the hair of every child and half
the adults in Saugus. He built
a great reputation among his
customers and developed a
loyal clientele.
Bob left the haircutting business
when his friend Art Charleton
introduced him to the
Amway Corporation. It would
become the professional love
of his life and Bob would go
on to become the 68th Diamond
Direct Distributor in
the history of the company.

Elaine M. Goodwin
O
f Saugus. Died unexpectedly
on October 13,
2023 at the age of 44. Loving
daughter of Gary and Pamela
Goodwin (Parker) of Saugus,
proud mother of Damien
Goodwin of Saugus, sister of
Gary Goodwin of Lawrence,
and Patricia Duncan of North
Reading, Auntie to Anastasia
and Katarina Duncan of North
Reading. She was preceded in
death by her sister, Lauren.
Elaine was born on February
23, 1979 and was a graduate
of Saugus High School,
class of 1997. When she graduated,
her life was full of
promise. She had a strong
work ethic and drive that
could only be challenged by
the death of her younger sister
in 1999. After this tremendous
loss, Elaine was never
quite the same, and lost her
spark for life. In 2002, shortly
after the birth of her son, the
light of her life, Damien, she
was diagnosed with Multiple
Sclerosis, and would spend
the rest of her life battling this
disease.
Elaine, or Lainey, as some
will lovingly remember her
[four of five Precinct 10 Town
Meeting members] – as you
know, Peter Delios did not
support us. Peter Delios supported
the increase of the
height, 50 to 100 feet, after
he promised us, when we
interviewed him to fill Mike
Serino’s vacancy, that he’d
never do it. That to me was
was at her best when with her
parents and son. Damien was
her life’s work, and she was so
very proud of the young man
he became. She doted on him
along with her nieces and
loved buying them gifts, and
spoiling them on Christmas.
Elaine called her mother daily
and always wanted to be at
home where she grew up. Her
Aunties will always remember
her adoringly as their first
baby niece who would prepare
them for motherhood.
One aunt, in particular, would
be the one to gift Elaine with
her first red lipstick. She was a
trailblazer as a child, and was
the only girl on an all boys
baseball team, coached by
her father.
Growing up, Elaine spent
many summer days on the
shore at her family cottage
in Harpswell, Maine, so it’s no
wonder that the beach was
her happy place where the
sound of the ocean would
quiet all of the noise in her
head. These lazy Maine days
were spent surrounded by
her siblings and cousins exploring
in the woods, going
for boat rides, splashing in
the waves, digging for clams
at low tide, lobster dinners,
camp fires, and trips to Land’s
End Gift Shop. If she wasn’t
in Maine, she could be found
with her parents and siblings
on Nahant Beach.
Elaine’s spirit will be remembered
and sorely missed every
day, and her untimely death
will always serve as a reminder
of the unpredictability and
preciousness of life. Her family
is finding comfort in knowing
that Elaine can rest now with
her younger sister Lauren–reunited
at last.

Meeting that four out of six
sites that we did soil samples
had excessive amounts of
lead in them – that we know
that there’s lead in the environment.
We know that that
landfill is a known lead producer,
from the solid waste
that goes through there –
burning the metals, and so
forth. And there’s lead in
our environment. Why people
want to allow more lead
in the community… I could
show you where two kids on
jarred or canned gravy, cranberry
sauce, canned veggies,
canned fruit, boxed stuffing
mix, boxed mashed potatoes,
boxed mac & cheese, corn
bread mix. Other nonperishable
foods like pasta, rice,
canned soup, canned beans,
etc. are also welcome.

Curbside pickup begins
Monday
The Town of Saugus anHemingway
had lead poisoning.
I proved it to them.
But it fell on deaf ears.
Q: Any other issues in Precinct
10? Anything else you
want to talk about?
A: Well, the redevelopment
of the Ballard School
– Ballard Gardens – I’d like
to see. I’m grateful for Town
Meeting support on that, for
the Ballard Gardens. I would
hope that the town manager
demolishes the buildings
in Cliftondale Square for adnounces
that fall curbside
leaf collection will take place
during the following weeks:
Monday, October 23 – Friday,
October 27, 2023
Monday, November 6 – Friday,
November 10, 2023
Monday, November 27 – Friday,
December 1, 2023
Residents should place
leaves outside by 7 a.m. during
their regularly scheduled collection
day on the dates listed
above. Please ensure that leaf
containers are physically separated
from trash and recycling.
Paper leaf bags are the preferred
method of leaf disposal.
If using barrels, however,
they must be clearly marked
with yard waste stickers. Stickers,
which are free, may be obtained
at Inspectional Services
in the lower level of Town Hall,
at 298 Central St. in Saugus,
or at the DPW at 515 Main St.
in Saugus. Barrel covers must
remain removed so that the
leaves are visible.
Plastic bags, cardboard boxes,
branches, and brush will
not be accepted.
Please note that separate
trucks collect the rubbish,
recycling and leaves, so the
leaves may be collected at a
different time of day. “Missed
pick-ups” will not be conducted.
Please
contact Scott Brazis
at 781-231-4036 with any
questions.
