(Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate) By Mark E. Vogler Over the past two decades, Saugus resident David T. Savoie has been a familiar visitor at Veterans Park, walking around in a replica World War II Army uniform on patriotic holidays. He says the countless hours he spends as a World War II reenactor – like he’s shown here at last year’s Veterans Day Ceremonies – enables him to honor the veterans of that era. Please see inside for more photos and this week’s “The Advocate Asks.” (Saugus Advocate photo by Mark E. Vogler) f Selectman Anthony Cogliano had his way, he would be one of nine members on a commission to revise the Saugus Town Charter. But Cogliano’s ambitious, but polarizing campaign to consider making changes in the town’s government – including a proposal to make the town manager an elected position rather than an appointed post – failed by just 192 votes during the town’s biennial election Tuesday. With a slim majority of the 4,744 residents who turned out to vote apparently satisfied with their current form of government, they also decided to keep the current five-member Board of Selectmen together for a third consecutive two-year term. But the voters also decided some dramatic changes on the town’s political landscape: –There was a major power shift in the Board of Selectmen’s leadership. After being the top vote-getter in the selectmen’s race for the previous two town elections, Cogliano lost his chairmanship position when he fi nished fourth in a fi eld of seven candidates – 759 votes behind his chief political rival, Selectman Debra Panetta, who got 473 more votes than the runner-up in the selectmen’s race. Panetta won her seventh consecutive two-year term on the board. And this marks the third time in the last fi ve elections that she will chair the board. –Two incumbent School Committee members – Leigh TOWN ELECTION | SEE PAGE 2 A NGELO’S FULL SERVICE 1978-2023 Celebrating 45 Years in Business!

Former School Committee Member Thomas Richard Whittredge – the top vote-getter in the previous two elections – fi nished just 21 votes behind Serino. He will serve as the committee’s vice chair. Meanwhile, Stephanie Lauren Mastrocola finished 250 votes behind Serino to claim the third spot. Voters reelected John S. Hatch and Ryan P. Fisher to their third consecutive two-year terms. –Thirteen of 19 candidates who challenged incumbents running for reelection in the Town Meeting races were elected. Ten of the 47 Town Meeting members seeking reelection lost their seats in the 50-member chamber. –Nine candidates received 1,045 votes or more to top a fi eld of 27 candidates in the race to fi eld the Charter Commission. Selectman Debra Panetta received 2,219 votes – 440 more than her closest opponent, Selectman Cogliano. But with the defeat of Ballot Question 1 – “Shall a commission be elected to revise the Charter of the Town of Saugus?” – there won’t be a commission activated to consider changes in Saugus local government. Voters decided to reelect Housing Authority Members Maureen Whitcomb and James A. Tozza to new fouryear terms. Whitcomb received 596 more votes than Tozza. And Tozza fi nished 471 votes ahead of the third-place candidate in the race, Nicholas V. Melanchook. The power shift It was just four years ago that Selectman Panetta was seeking a third consecutive term as the chair of the Board of Selectmen. She had fi nished as the top vote-getter in the 2015 and 2017 elections. But Cogliano received close to 700 more votes than Panetta in the 2019 election to claim the board’s leadership position. In the 2021 selectmen’s race, Cogliano fi nished about 325 votes ahead of Panetta to win a second term as chair.

And she wound up winning the chair’s seat by her largest margin ever. “I am very grateful to the Saugus voters for putting their faith and trust in me,” Panetta said this week, just hours after celebrating a lopsided win. “I am honored to serve our Saugus residents for another term,” she said. It has been a tough year politically, with a rift developing between the board’s two leaders: Chair Cogliano and Vice Chair Panetta. Tempers fl ared in an October meeting, with the board’s top two leaders engaging in a verbal confrontation where they disparaged each other publicly. Going into this week’s election, there were two major political contests at stake. Cogliano’s campaign for a Charter Commission was the major item on the town election ballot. The next biggest contest was the race for the chairmanship on the Board of Selectmen – the town’s two most prolifi c vote-getters squaring off . But by the end of Election Night, Cogliano had lost both contests. Even if Question 1 had prevailed, it wouldn’t have been much of a victory for Cogliano and the members of the Moving Saugus Forward Committee.

Savoie talks about a hobby he continues as a way to honor American veterans Editor’s Note: For this week’s column, we talked to David T. Savoie, a local World War II reenactor, who frequently attends the town’s annual Veterans Day and Memorial Day observances, wearing a replica World War II paratrooper uniform with a helmet while carrying replica gear. Savoie, 67, grew up in Salem and is a 1974 graduate of Salem High School. He lives with his wife, Janice, and their daughter, Heather, in a home on Westland Avenue. He and Janice (Marquis), a Saugus native and 1975 Saugus High School graduate, celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary last Sept. 30. They own and live in the home that Janice grew up in. Savoie was a truck driver for 22 years and later got into the IT business, becoming a computer technician and a cell phone technician. He’s a licensed minister and has been involved in reenactment as an Army chaplain for about 12 years. He has done volunteer work with the Saugus Veterans Council, serving as an acting chaplain at various functions. He considers himself an honorary member of the council. Highlights of this week’s interview follow. Q: I always see you around Saugus, dressed up as a World War II paratrooper on the patriotic holidays – Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Are you a veteran? A: No, I’m not a veteran. I have two brothers who are veterans. My brother Marc was in the Air Force during the Vietnam War Era, stateside. My brother Julien was in the Navy, Sue Palomba Town Meeting, Precinct 1 (Paid Pol. Adv.) and my dad served in World War II as a Canadian medic. He passed away when I was 12, leaving my mom to raise four boys. My mom lived to be 102. Q: Please tell me a little bit about your dad. ASKS | SEE PAGE 8 10% Off Senior Discount!

Vogler A school administrator that ex-Superintendent Erin McMahon hired to be her deputy superintendent made the initial allegations that led to her fi ring last week. In early January, Deputy Superintendent Margaret Ferrick contacted the School Committee Attorney, Howard Greenspan, and “specifically raised concerns that Superintendent McMahon had (1) directed District employees to pay the invoice of a consultant even though there were concerning expenses included like alcohol, (2) directed the consultant to revise the invoice so it would not show such expenses, (3) a confl ict of interest with Relay (Graduate School of Education), and (4) spent an excessive amount of time out of district,” according to the report that the School Committee used as grounds to fi re McMahon. McMahon, who had been hired on a five-year million dollar contract to help lead Saugus Public Schools from the bottom 10 percent of the state’s public school system to a much improved one, was fi red last week. She had been on paid administrative leave since January, soon after Ferrick raised questions about the superintendent’s conduct. At last week’s (Nov. 2) School Committee meeting, Committee Chair Vincent Serino read from the executive summary of a detailed report which outlined the School Committee’s case against McMahon. “There’s a lot of things in there that are compelling, in the overall body of the report,” Serino said in an interview this week. “I don’t think it’s just one thing. At the end of the day, we’re responsible to the taxpayers, residents and students. This wasn’t something that came from the School Committee. We didn’t ask for this. It was brought to us from a whistleblower,” he said. These are highlights from the report which were the basis for the School Committee voting to fi re McMahon: –The superintendent had a A CLOSE ENCOUNTER: Ex-School Superintendent Erin McMahon walked the table where the School Committee sat as she tried to make her case as to why she should not be fi red.

Superintendent McMahon retained Relay to provide professional development services for the District at a cost of $84,000, of which $56,000 was contracted for and paid out after she performed her initial consulting services for Relay, representing tuition costs for four individuals to attend professional development training in New Ex-Saugus School Superintendent Erin McMahon addressed the School Committee last week before the committee voted unanimously to fi re her.

Vogler N ewcomers running for Town Meeting in Tuesday’s Town Election excelled, taking away seats from 10 incumbents while winning 13 seats overall. In three of the precincts, a first-time candidate received the most votes. Overall, 37 incumbents held onto their seats – one of them was former Precinct 9 Town Meeting Member Bob Long, who ran and got elected in Precinct 4 because of a change in voting districts after the last election. Only six of the 19 new candidates who ran for Town Meeting lost in their respective races. Precinct 10 was the only precinct where all fi ve incumbent Town Meeting members were reelected. Two new members were elected in fi ve of the precincts. Four of the precincts had one new member elected.

She called the investigation of her alleged misconduct unfair, claiming it violated her contract and due process rights. “I’ve made signifi - cant gains for the school community in the two years I’ve served, and I’m Saugus’s fi rst female superintendent, and yet I have suff ered three full years of gross incompetence, deep corruption and blatant discrimination,” McMahon told the School Committee at last week’s hearing. bent Member Mary Frances Migliore (219) lost her seat.

Had the ballot question prevailed, the top nine vote-getters would have been put on the commission.

The scare tactics worked,” he said. “I want to thank everyone that worked so hard alongside me to bring about necessary change, we fell short. On a positive note, it brought out some new candidates, like Frank Federico who topped the ticket for Town meeting in Precinct 9 and another newcomer, Matt Pallante who I expect big things from representing Precinct Two,” Cogliano said. “Another rising star from the Charter race was Lori Gallivan who will be an amazing leader in Saugus politics should she decide to run in the future.” “I put my heart and soul into this, and placed it in front of my family, something I don’t intend to do in the future.

This week I will recall the seven years that my three oldest sons accomplished for Saugus High in sports. Starting with my oldest Bill, he, like me, was too small for most sports activities. He was a good pitcher for Little League and Babe Ruth, but deemed too small for Saugus High. He played Junior Varsity hockey, but never made the varsity. But he did fi nd two sports as a senior. He competed in the state tournament wrestling. He also was on the fi rst SHS soccer team to play in the league, which they won. The team included his three friends: Jimmy ScanTOWN ELECTION | FROM PAGE 6 lectmen Vice Chair Jeff rey V. Cicolini noted “the political climate in Saugus has been a little bit bumpy the last few months.” But Cicolini then off ered a positive outlook on things as the new Board of Selectmen approached the next two years. “Our hearts are in the right spot…We’ll work for the greater good,” Cicolini said. “Working together for the greater good of this town, I think we can accomplish some amazing things over the next two years,” he added. When Cogliano got his turn to speak, he thanked the town “for electing me for the eighth time to serve on the board.” Cogliano said he hopes “to accomplish great things with Town Manager Scott Crabtree.” And he called serving as a Saugus selectman “certainly an honor.” Cogliano’s demeanor was gracious – humble while pledging to work in a spirit of cooperation with his colleagues. He embraced them with hugs and kind words during the ceremony. Newly elected Board of Selectmen Chair Panetta sought to convey a positive and cooperative message in her renell and the Couterier boys, Scott and Dave. They made the state tournament in 1976, but were beaten by a team that had played the game for years, Newton. Bob played as a sophomore on this soccer club, continued as a junior and was the captain as a senior. Bob played for each of his three seasons, for soccer, hockey and baseball. He played on the team that came second to Winthrop, and in hockey in the Northeastern Conference, the team made it to the Boston Garden in the quarterfi nals. In soccer he was twice a league All-Star as a high scoring forward, and captain as a senior. In spring he played for three seasons in baseball as a center fi elder, and was an All-Star. Bob went on to play college soccer at Salem State. My third son, Mike, ran cross-country to get in shape marks. “Together, we can achieve remarkable things, building on a stronger, more connected community.” In her remarks, Selectman Corinne R. Riley sought to encourage “those candidates that did not get elected” to “please continue your eff orts to improve our town.” “Saugus needs your time and talent,” Riley said. for hockey. But he excelled as a left forward in hockey. Scott Brazis, Paul Nigro and Mike were the second line behind Bob, a scoring trio as sophomores. As seniors in 1979, Paul led the league in scoring with 21 goals and 21 assists for 42 points. Mike was fourth in scoring with 18 and 16 for 34 points. The team had 12 wins, 4 losses and 2 ties to come in second to Winthrop. In the state tourney, they made it to the semifi nals, the furthest that a Sachem team had risen to up to at that time. They lost to Bobby Carpenter and St. John’s Prep. All three of the first line – Brazis, Nigro and Stewart – were All-Stars. Mike appears in the MIAA record book for his three goals in consecutive games in a row. Mike was later selected to go with a Massachusetts All-Star team to compete in Finland, and they won the title. Mike played on Selectman Michael James Serino noted that he, like Cogliano, had just been elected to his eighth term as a selectman, collectively, over the course of his Saugus political career. He echoed some of Riley’s sentiments. “There’s a lot of boards and commissions if you want to get involved in town government,” Serino said. a line with the sophomore Carpenter, who excelled for the Mass. team. Within the family, Bob played into the hockey quarter fi nals, Mike into the semifi - nals, and years later my granddaughter, Kerrie McKinnon, won a state championship with St. Mary’s in Lynn. During this period, 1975 to 1979, I spent a lot of time at the hockey rinks watching my sons compete and usually win.

He was in Dunkirk, North Africa, Normandy and went all the way to Berlin. My dad’s two brothers were also in the military. My Uncle Mike was a bomber pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force. His younger brother Nazaire was also a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Q: You are not a veteran, but you are dressed up like a soldier when you attend the patriotic holidays in Saugus. Would it be an understatement to call you a patriotic person? A: I’m definitely patriotic. I was born on the Fourth of July. Maybe that has something to do with it. I’ve always had a thing for playing “Army” as a little kid. We played “Army” as kids in the 60s. I love the history of the military. And I always watched “Combat” on TV. Q: How many years have you been doing reenacting? A: About 17 or 18 years. Q: How did you get involved in it? A: I’ve always had a big heart for the veterans. I’ve always loved watching World War II movies. When the HBO “Band of Brothers” series about paratroopers came out, that got me going. There was a 10part series about Easy Company in the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. I joined the 101st Airborne E Company Reenactors. I’m a history nut, and I started reading books about Airborne. I ended up joining a few different groups over the years. Q: So, what do you get out of it? A: I got to meet a lot of veteran paratroopers from World War II. The younger guys like to go out, have fun and shoot guns. But the reason I enjoy doing this is to honor the veterans.

They love seeing us and they like it when we do the 21-gun salutes at ceremonies on Memorial Day. The reaction from people is very positive, and the people thank us for our service. Some people actually think we are military. Q: What’s the shelf life of a World War II reenactor? A: It can go on for a while. I’ve seen guys in their 70s and 80s still doing reenacting. I know a guy who is 76 years old and still doing it. He’s been doing it for 30 years or more – maybe longer. He’s from Nashua, N.H. Q: How long will you continue to do this? A: As long as I can – as long as my body keeps me going. I’ve done the chaplain impression. I’ve also done the infantry impression. I’m a licensed minister, and I do services for the reenactors. I’ve been doing some reenacting with a small group called World War III Airborne Misdrops. There’s about 10 people in the group.

Joe Busa, a tank driver in General Patton’s Army, told me he wanted to get into a Sherman tank. The American Heritage Museum in Hudson, Mass., set it up for me. Q: How many events does a reenactor do in the course of a year? A: We could do one every month. But we usually do five or six a year. We do some training exercises during the year out in the woods. Q: What’s the farthest you have gone for a reenactment? A: Fort Indiantown Gap in Annville, Pa. It’s an Army base in Pennsylvania. We’d stay in the original barracks from World War II. I’ve gone there about four times. They stopped doing it about four years ago. When I first started doing it about 16 years ago, there were about five or six barracks full of World War II veterans. Each barrack had about six people. The last time I went, there were only five World War II veterans left. Q: So, as you look back on your career as a World War II reenactor, what’s the big draw for you? Why do you get so much satisfaction doing this? A: Number One, we want to honor the veterans. I have a huge heart for the veterans. And there’s a sense of camaraderie. You get involved and make a lot of friends from all over.

If that’s not evidence enough of this program’s ascension, what will be? The Sachems beat Pentucket, 20-8, in a consolation round game last week on the road. That improved the Sachems to 5-4 and marked their second victory in the last three contests. Saugus needed this momentum badly. After starting 3-0, they dropped three straight and ended up missing the postseason. But it is not resting. The team has two more games – at home against Wilmington Thursday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. and on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23, on the road at Peabody (10 a.m.). A victory over Wilmington would secure a winning record for a team that won one game in the previous two seasons. Tommy DeSimone had 178 yards on the ground on 38 carries for Saugus against Pentucket, including a two-yard touchdown run, while also tacking on a two-point conversion rush and an interception. He’s approaching 1,000 rushing yards on the year. “Tommy looked fresh all night. It wasn’t like he needed a blow, and he’s playing both sides of the ball, too,” Saugus coach Steve Cummings said. “So it’s not like he’s getting a break. Tommy’s just worked himself into incredible shape. He’s really smart when he runs the ball. He doesn’t really give teams the opportunity to get a big hit on him. He’s doing a great job following his blockers, and he grinds out yards when he has to grind out yards. He’s having a great season for us this year.” Senior Isaiah Rodriguez added four catches for 70 yards and two touchdown receptions from his brother and quarterback, sophomore Jordan. Saugus trailed, 8-0, in the DOUBLE DEFENSE: Sachems Dylan Clark (left) and Tommy DeSimone tackled a Lynn Tech ballcarrier during an October game. (Advocate file photo) first quarter but controlled all the scoring from that point. “It was a good hard-fought football game,” Cummings said. “Not a lot of errors. Not a lot of turnovers. We ran the ball at them really hard. Our offensive line [tackle Ethan Malcolm, guard Larry Barrows, center Dwayne Williams, guard Braden Faiella, tackle Koby Jette] was fantastic. Our guys up front did really well. Defensively we came with a big turnover at the end of the half [DeSimone interception] to kind of kill some of the momentum they had. In the second half our guys were able to execute, and we were able to pull off an onsides kick [by kicker Travis Goyetche, and DeSimone recovered it]. That SAUGUS GIRLS’ SOCCER TEAM NETS POSTSEASON WIN ON PKS The Saugus High School girls’ soccer team battled North Reading in the Division 3 state tourney opener to a 0-0 draw at the end of regulation and two overtimes. It found the net at the right time – on penalty kicks. The Sachems won, 4-3, on a winner-take-all, penalty kick shootout. Shay Sewell, Veronica Ortega, Madison Botta and Natalie Justice got the goals. Saugus’ Tori Carter made a handful of saves in the game. ~ SHS Sachems Sports roundup ~ “Our midfield and defenders did a fantastic job of not allowing many opportunities,” Saugus assistant coach Brianna Alimonti said. “This includes an incredible performance by senior captain Violet Hawley. Shay Sewell came in clutch with our play of the game. A player chopped Tori, and Shay was behind her as she denied it with a header out of the box. All these girls played with everything they had to give. Their hearts were in it.” “We held our own for the entire game, and we didn’t let up,” senior captain Hawley said. “Even though we were tired especially with double overtime we came out with more intensity and we didn’t let up. Our defense was unstoppable the entire game, especially with Tori’s saves. North Reading is a good team, and they are very fast. However, our defense managed to shield the ball out multiple times and when they had a chance to shoot, Tori’s amazing saves kept us in that game.” When the team got to PKs, Hawley said she was nervous not knowing what was going to happen, but she had a lot of faith in Carter in net, and the girls the team chose to take kicks. “Stakes were high but the energy flipped position of the field a lot. And we were able to put pressure on the quarterback, not letting him get comfortable and the kids executed. It was good to see.” Braden Faiella was his usual standout self on defense, and Tommy Cameron came up big from the cornerback spot with an interception. Ameen Taboubi had some key hits at safety, and Dylan Clark was a standout on the defensive line. Cummings credited Saugus defensive coordinator Greg Bluestein for coming up with a shift in defensive sets. Pentucket came out of the gate with some surprise looks, and Bluestein and his defense were able to adjust accordingly. “Coach Blue did a great job of coming up with an adjustment on the fly to get our guys back in the right position,” Cummings said. “After the first drive, we gave up some stuff here and there, but were really able to buckle down.” the entire game was higher than ever before,” Hawley said. Junior captain Botta said Saugus the whole game played really well on defense. “We didn’t let any shots up and when the other team had a chance our goalie was able to scoop up the ball,” Botta said. “The game was very even; both teams were physical and tactically good so it was an even battle.” What was it like lining up and taking a PK shot in a postseason game? “Being in the position to shoot PKs SPORTS ROUNDUP | SEE PAGE 17 We salute our veterans and thank them for     100 Salem Turnpike, Saugus, MA 01906  ׉ 7cassandra://INu3Cva4-LRgYo850FgszNYlnMJusIdC-Csa39jEDec'`̰eMb-׉E8THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, NOVEmbEr 10, 2023 Page 11 Northeast Metro Tech students tour school construction site, view ongoing work S uperintendent David DiBarri was pleased to announce that Northeast Metro Tech Carpentry students were able to visit the construction site for the school’s new building to get a firsthand look at construction professionals on the job. Thanks to the project’s construction manager, Gilbane, and the owner’s project manager, PMA Consultants, during the ongoing construction, different shops from the school will be visiting the site each month so students can see firsthand the work that is being done. Carpentry students were the first to visit the site – on Sept. 19. Representatives of Gilbane outfitted the students with hardhats, gloves, safety glasses and high-visibility vests. The group attended Gilbane’s site orientation for the project, which highlighted Gilbane’s safety and personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, as well as the team’s detailed logistics plan for this large-scale Vocational High School project. This was followed by a comprehensive tour of the project site, where site clearing activities had recently commenced. The Gilbane team explained the project schedule, including identifying upcoming activities, including the extensive ledge blasting and on-site processing of the ledge materials for reuse on the project site. The construction site is being cleared, so students got to see the grand scope of the construction project, and they learned that nothing from the site goes to waste thanks to coordination between project managers and Northeast Metro Tech. Some of the trees that were removed will be used for river reclamation, in which they are placed in nearby rivers and streams to support wildlife habitats. The smaller trees and brush were made into wood chips, rolled into fabric and placed around the site for erosion control. The lower quality trees will be used to make pallets for shipping, and the higher quality trees will be used to make furniture and interior trim and moldings. Quite a few of the pine and oak trees that were cleared were saved for the Carpentry shop sawmill. These trees will be cut into slabs to be used for future shop woodworking Students gather for a group photo at the construction site.

Maine Drilling & Blasting, the blasting subcontractor for the project, began work on Oct. 12 within the area that will become the new parking lot. Leading up to the start of blasting work, Main Drilling & Blasting installed five seismograph instruments around the area to measure and record ground and air vibrations following each blast.

Vogler T here shouldn’t be any more confusion about the name of the park at the corner of Winter and Central Streets dedicated to the memory of all Saugus veterans, the living as well as the departed. A brand-new sign proclaiming “Veterans Park” – not Veterans Memorial Park or Veterans Monument Park – has been installed recently, just in time for the town’s annual Veterans Day ceremonies set for tomorrow (Saturday, Nov. 11) at 11 a.m. “This park is for all of the veterans – not just those who are no longer with us,” Saugus Veterans Council Commander Steve Castinetti said this week. “There are people on that wall who are still alive. We never had a sign there before. But thanks to the efforts of Chris Riley and a few other people, we do and it’s a welcome addition,” Castinetti said. Former Precinct 2 Town Meeting Member Chris Riley authored Article 16, which was passed unanimously by this year’s Town Meeting. The measure formally named the War Monument area and green as “Veterans Park” and authorized installation of a sign. “I am happy to report that the sign is complete and was installed on Friday, Oct. 27, at no cost to the Town or taxpayers,” Riley said. “Thank you to Saugus Town Meeting for unanimously supporting this project, Dan Prezioso Sr for creating the sign, Dan Mahoney for making the sign posts, Pat Roche and crew at Stefano’s Landscaping for installation, Saugus Veterans Council for help with design, and Town Manager Scott Crabtree. All were very generous with their time and talent and I am A SIGN OF PATRIOTIC PRIDE: The town’s monument and green area dedicated to all Saugus veterans – living and departed – is marked with a new sign.

The Salem Marine Corps Junior ROTC will present the colors. Debra Dion Faust of the American Legion is scheduled to sing the National Anthem. “The ceremony will begin promptly at 11 a.m., rain or shine,” Castinetti said. “The VFW has invited all veterans back to the VFW for a collation after the ceremony,” he said.

Vogler Good morning, Saugus! Tomorrow, the nation celebrates Veterans Day, a special holiday that commemorates the service of all who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces – not to be confused with Memorial Day – a day which honors those Americans who died while serving their country in the military. The origin of Veterans Day goes back to the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when hostilities of World War I ended when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. The day originally known as Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954. Saugus residents who take pride in their community and their country should head down to Veterans Park at the corner of Central and Winter Streets for a low key ceremony that is set to begin at about 11 a.m., rain or shine. If you go, take the time to show your appreciation for every veteran you make eye contact with. Thank them for their service to the nation. If you are down in Saugus Center, take the time to view the Veterans Day Field of Flags on the front lawn of Saugus Town Hall, which was organized by the Parson Roby Chapter of the DAR. The flags were planted in this patriotic display in memory of veterans – living and dead. Some kind person who knows the story of my late twin brother, Lance – a Vietnam War veteran who served in the U.S. Air Force and died on Memorial Day 1978 in a motorcycle accident – had a miniature flag placed in the Field of Flags for the second consecutive year. I plan to be in Saugus to take a look at that flag and reflect. All of the veterans who attend the Veterans Day ceremony at Veterans Park are invited to attend a collation after the ceremony at VFW Post 2346, also known as Staff Sgt. Arthur F. De Franzo Post, which is located at 190 C Main St. in Saugus. CHaRM facility/Compost Site closed tomorrow The Town of Saugus announced that the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (ChaRM) facility/Compost Site located at 515 Main St. will be closed tomorrow (Saturday, Nov. 11, in observance of Veterans Day. The CHaRM facility/Compost Site will reopen on Wednesday, Nov. 15, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Town of Saugus would like to thank everyone for their cooperation. Please contact Solid Waste/Recycling Coordinator Scott A. Brazis at 781-2314036 with any questions. For more information about the Town of Saugus, visit www.saugus-ma.gov. A recipe for reform Even though voters defeated Ballot Question 1 in this week’s biennial town election, they have begun what could be a meaningful conversation on how to improve Saugus town government. Over the past few weeks, I’ve heard several people suggest that Town Meeting create a standing committee to consider possible changes or updates in the Saugus Town Charter. There has been some talk about staggered terms for both the Board of Selectmen and the School Committee. I have heard several town officials recommend expansion of the 50-member Town Meeting body. Whether the Moving Saugus Forward Committee intended so or not, they set in motion the opportunity for Saugus to take a look at its current form of government and decide whether anything can be done to improve it so it better serves its citizens. Food Pantry notes The Saugus United Parish Food Pantry is open today (Friday, Nov. 10) from 9:30-11 a.m. Legion Breakfast today There’s a good breakfast deal for Saugus veterans and other folks who enjoy a hearty breakfast on Friday mornings. The American Legion Post 210 at 44 Taylor St. in Saugus offers Friday morning breakfasts for the 2023-24 season. Doors open at 7:30, with breakfast served from 8-9:00 a.m. for an $8 donation. Veterans who cannot afford the donation may be served for free. Special “Shout Outs” We have several nominations this week: From Town Clerk Ellen Schena: “On behalf of the Clerk’s Office, we would like to thank all those involved during the Local Town Election and every Election. Starting with Superintendent Hashem, having us use the schools as 6 polling locations. The Senior Center encompassing their building for 2 precincts. As well as, the Knights of Columbus and the Italian American Club, each hosting a precinct. A big thank you to Building Maintenance and DPW that do a great job setting up all 10 precincts in one day before the elections. Thank you to the Saugus Police that not only secure VETERANS DAY FIELD OF FLAGS: To honor veterans on Veterans Day, the Parson Roby Chapter of the DAR has planted an arrangement of flags on the front lawn outside Saugus Town Hall.

To the Board of Registrars that tirelessly aid the Town Clerk’s office, thank you. Lastly and most important, THANK YOU to all the Elections Workers that worked Tuesday. As always you did a fantastic job.” From Laura Eisener: “I really enjoyed reading Heather Savoie’s poem ‘The Prowler’ - certainly a moving piece of work reflecting the concerns many people feel about this animal. I’d like to shout out this local writer’s work!” We have several “Shout Outs” this week from Precinct Town Meeting Member Jeanie Bartolo: “Once again some after Election Comic Relief is needed. This ‘Shout Out’ is for all the LAWN SIGNS in town for the candidates who had one. These sturdy, trusty, hard working LAWN SIGNS withstood sun, rain, wet leaves, and near hurricane winds for the owners and have earned a well deserved rest and a ‘Shout Out.’ “I would like to thank all the residents of Precinct 6 who voted for me to serve another term as your representative Town Meeting Member. I am truly grateful for your continued faith in me and the ability to serve our community. “I have another ‘Shout Out’: I was at the Senior Center after the polls closed last night [Tuesday, Nov. 7th] when Sebastian DiModica IV learned he lost his bid for Selectman. This ‘Shout Out’ is for him because he was the epitome of a gentleman on how he handled the news and earned my respect. I tip my hat to him!” Sue Fleming provided the following “Shout Out”: “I would like to give a Shout Out to the Saugus Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for the opportunity to have a flag placed in front of Town Hall to honor Veterans. It gave me the opportunity to honor my husband, an Air Force Veteran and in memory of my mother, a Navy Veteran. We need to thank all Veterans for their service and keeping our country safe. Thank You!!” Former Precinct 2 Town Meeting Member Chris Riley introduced the article earlier this year which sought to have the area known as Veterans Park formally and finally have a sign installed on-site. He offered the following multiple “Shout Outs”: “Thank you to Saugus Town Meeting for unanimously supporting this project, Dan Prezioso Sr for creating the sign, Dan Mahoney for making the sign posts, Pat Roche and crew at Stefano’s Landscaping for installation, Saugus Veterans Council for help with design, and Town Manager Scott Crabtree. All were very generous with their time and talent and I am very grateful.” Joe Vecchione sent this “Shout Out” our way: “Just wanted to send a shout out to you and the Saugus Advocate for this week’s paper for organizing the Charter Forums and Saugus Over Coffee along with continuous unbiased local coverage over the Election Season. We are lucky to have you here. “Also, congratulations to all of the candidates that were elected and to the Precinct 2 constituency for their support the past 4 years as I move on from Town Meeting opting to not seek re-election.” Selectman Michael Serino sent us this mega “Shoutout”: “I would like to thank the voters of Saugus who had the trust and confidence in me by re-electing me to the Board of Selectmen. I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead over the next two years. Saugus is a great community to live in and I will do my best to make it even better.” Want to “Shout Out” a fellow Saugonian?

Gordon Shepard was giving the lawn a final mowing for the fall when I passed by last week. The wet spring and summer helped make grass thick and green this year, requiring far less watering than in the dry summer of 2022. Black walnuts (Juglans nigra) near the center of town have produced a good crop of nuts. A pair of trees in the Saugus Iron Works parking lot and a third one near the maintenance building, as well as several others in backyards on Central Street, have produced a lot of food for wildlife. The falling nuts have been abundant in the community garden behind St. John’s rectory, but chemicals in the roots of these trees can be inhospitable to many plants, including tomatoes, eggplants and potatoes, so these species have to be planted beyond the trees’ root zone. Members of the heath family (Rhododendrons, azaleas, blueberries, for example) are also adversely affected by walnut roots and to a lesser extent the reJapanese anemone are still blooming at the Saugus Middle School entrance. (Photo courtesy of Laura Eisener) lated hickory (Carya spp.). Japanese anemones (Anemone hybrida, sometimes called Eriocapitella hybrida) bloomed for a long season this year on the town’s middle/high school campus, starting in July and continuing into November with a spectacular display near the high school entrance. The planting there includes white flowering ‘Honorine Jobert’ and pinkish purple ones that are probably ‘September Charm.’ In front of the bright red SHS sign, the white blossoms of ‘Honorine Jobert’ Gordon Shepard mows the lawn at the veterans’ plot for the final time of the season. (Photo courtesy of Laura Eisener) Colorful leaves on flowering dogwood surround buds that give hope of a nice flower display in the spring. (Photo courtesy of Laura Eisener) combine to form the Saugus school colors: red and white. These are among the easiest to grow summer to fall perennials, thriving in sun to part shade, very resistant to deer and rabbits. Because of the bloom time, they provide a nice “welcome back” to students at the end of summer that continues beyond the first term. Sandy Mears has been en‘Pink Panther’ foxgloves are still blooming in the garden of Sandy Mears. (Photo courtesy of Sandy Mears) joying abundant blossoms on her foxgloves (Digitalis ‘Pink Panther’) this summer and fall and says, “I can’t believe they are looking so good in November!” She bought this plant this spring and has had almost continual bloom since then. The rainy weather may be part of the answer, as foxgloves do like soil that is consistently moist, but most descriptions of this variety say it blooms in June, July and August, and don’t mention September, October and November! Also, this may be a nonseed-forming variety, which in many biennials will result in a long bloom season. Black walnuts are among the most delicious and nutritious nuts – if you can get at them! (Photo courtesy of Laura Eisener) Since purple foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) are biennials, the original plant often dies after producing seeds. If the flowers are removed before they go to seed, the original plant may return the following year and bloom again. On the other hand, if allowed to go to seed, new plants may pop up that bloom two years later, and if this process continues for several years, you may get a lot of new plants. Foxgloves are old-fashioned cottage flowers that have been popular for centuries. However, if you do bring the foxglove flowers indoors for a vase, make sure you don’t let small animals or children nibble on them because they are dangerous to consume. Reportedly the taste is terrible, so most wildlife will not be harmed by trying to eat them, but the danger is significant for livestock, pets and people. In the trees, the color display continues, though many of the brightest colors have faded. Flowering dogwoods (Benthamidia florida or Cornus florida) are among the most popular spring flowering trees, adaptable to sunny and partly shady locations. They often have another show in the fall, as the leaves turn red and yellowish, and the trees produce small oval fruits which become a feast for migrating birds. While admiring those fall features, a close look at the branches will likely show small round buds with pointed tops (like an onion shape) at the ends of branches – these are the buds of next year’s flowers. The buds for 2024 are already formed and waiting for spring. If you don’t see many of those, you might want to give the tree a fertilizer high in phosphorous to encourage bud production for bloom in spring 2025! Editor’s Note: Laura Eisener is a landscape design consultant who helps homeowners with landscape design, plant selection and placement of trees and shrubs, as well as perennials. She is a member of the Saugus Garden Club and offered to write a series of articles about “what’s blooming in town” shortly after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. She was inspired after seeing so many people taking up walking. ׉ 7cassandra://mvXK7-MQHOmSl1distGhZrPbU6RJTTnuf8VtP5uwNzE+`̰eMb-eMb- PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://e1Shs0v030_ITCtsbaa3zytdE-KFMC19AzLj1_e572s R`)׉ 7cassandra://edFOSN2lhabZYGyGzOnDwpsU4Q3qRmrs04ll1Cb9Fw0͘`J׉ 7cassandra://RDwUY5pH06_an3Ijp44UFVjHNcoTgnNAPsELGHp3oNU(`̰׉ 7cassandra://iUq6cn4iijYyiKDCZxF4PHI6_ha_E4clAQjaINZstrs(͠eMb-ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://U6YE629ceOSYjNMpMss19uBv8bTrwBqTg_dwt7E9_ko I`)׉ 7cassandra://iJAXYZWCa1C2HnvGz2W6c2RXBaMQHC-mltYevaQl2oE͑`J׉ 7cassandra://uYugRC163egCuF4KT5RdaecP7WtHqPwNo7UnZ_t5kpM&`̰׉ 7cassandra://DYWY978cL_65rsGrb26sUyEr0p8V8X5B-kA4uzRcqWkU8͠eMb-נeMb- 4oa9ׁHhttp://stjude.orgׁ ׁ ЈנeMb-X̿9ׁHhttp://port.specialolympics.orgׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 16 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, NOVEmbEr 10, 2023 THE SOUNDS | FROM PAGE 14 paper’s readers to single out – in a brief mention – remarkable acts or achievements by Saugus residents or an act of kindness or a nice gesture.
