four area cities to celebrate the completion of the

espite the heavy downpour,
a stalwart group
celebrated the ribbon cutting
Wednesday (Oct. 26) morning
on the bike trail between
Lincoln Avenue and Central
Street. The Northern Strand
Community Trail – a project
that was 30 years in the making
– reached a milestone
this year when sections connecting
Saugus with four cities
(Everett, Lynn, Malden and
Revere) were completed, enabling
bicyclists and walkers
access from inland to the
coast. Many people of all ages
have been enjoying the bike
trail for a wide range of reasons:
recreation, exercise, nature
watching, and simply as
a safe and convenient way to
get around town for errands,
work, school and appointments.

right of way. There are signposts
showing mileage, informational
signs and crossing

as well as benches and bridges
to make using the trail comfortable

tration celebrated the completion
of more than 10 miles
of the Northern Strand Community
Trail, which is a shared
use path that traverses parts of
the Cities of Everett, Lynn, Malden
and Revere and the Town
of Saugus along the rail bed of
the former Saugus Branch Railroad.
The $15.5 million project
by the Executive Office of Energy
and Environmental Affairs
(EEA) was completed utilizing
funding from the Gateway City
Parks Program.
“Projects like the Northern
Strand Trail serve as critical assets
that link communities and
residents across the Commonwealth
together,” Governor
Charlie Baker said in a statement
issued by his office on
Wednesday (Oct. 26). “Through
the MassTrails team, our Administration
has been proud
A dense cluster of umbrellas was gathered on the Northern Strand Community Trail for the
ribbon cutting on Wednesday morning. (Courtesy photo by Laura Eisener to The Saugus Advocate)
to collaborate across state
government and with municipal
partners and trail advocacy
groups to advance these projects
that bring numerous environmental,
recreational and
transportation benefits to communities
in Massachusetts.”
“We were pleased to fund
the Northern Strand Trail, and
to partner with Everett, Lynn,
Malden, Revere and Saugus to
advance this critical project,”
Lieutenant Governor Karyn
Polito said in a statement also
issued by the Governor’s Office
on Wednesday.
“The Northern Strand Trail
will provide benefits not only
to the residents and businesses
along the trail, but also to
visitors and those living in the
surrounding region.”
The trail corridor connects
neighborhoods, links residents
to business districts, provides
access to regional assets, such
as the Lynn Shore and Nahant
Beach Reservations of the Department
of Conservation &
Recreation (DCR), serves as a
critical component of the East
Coast Greenway and improves
the quality of life for the region’s
residents.

Office showing the route of the Northern Strand Community
Trail. (Courtesy graphic to The Saugus Advocate)
Helping to make the
region “green”
The trail also has transportation
and greenhouse gas emissions
benefits. Provision of a
practical, safe route of relatively
short distance between major
cities helps to encourage walking
and biking as an alternative
to driving, thus reducing emissions
and helping the Commonwealth
comply with the
Global Warming Solutions Act.
“Safe and fun access to the
outdoors is a priority of the
Baker-Polito Administration,
and I am pleased that this project
provides residents with a
great opportunity to get some
exercise and enjoy the Commonwealth’s
natural resources,”
state Energy and Environmental
Affairs Secretary Beth Card
said. “Significantly, rail trails
like the Northern Strand Trail
also provide commuters with
the option to leave their cars
behind, which reduces the release
of harmful carbon emissions
and assists in the Commonwealth’s
efforts to achieve
Net Zero in 2050.”
The construction of the
Northern Strand was supported
by the work of the Interagency
MassTrails Team, which
is composed of staff from EEA,
the Massachusetts Department
of Transportation (MassDOT)
and DCR. The purpose
of the team is to help develop
a unified vision for a trails network
and translate that into
strategic investments, policy
innovations to facilitate development
of trails, and partnerships
with municipalities and
other organizations. The Northern
Strand trail project is a direct
result of the group’s “one
team, one plan, one vision”
approach to advance multiuse
trails across the Commonwealth.
“Shared
use paths give people
a safe, comfortable, and
convenient option to walk and
bike for everyday trips without
relying on a car to get to destinations,”
Transportation Secretary
and CEO Jamey Tesler said.
“The benefits are countless
when it comes to active travel
for wellbeing, public health, reducing
pollution, and supporting
local businesses. Whether
people are commuting to
work, going shopping, or just
out for fun, more than 100,000
people of four gateway cities
now are within ½ mile of the
Northern Strand,” Tesler said.
Following work conducted
by many partners, including
the longtime advocacy of
Bike to the Sea, trail segments
were in various stages when
EEA took on the project. EEA’s
partners on the project included
the five communities, with

Town Meeting Member Ron Wallace discusses his cemetery project to honor Benjamin
Newhall Johnson, the late Saugonian who once owned the land at Breakheart Reservation
Editor’s Note: For this week,
we sat down with Precinct 5
Town Meeting Member Ron Wallace,
who talked about a special
project he undertook in Riverside
Cemetery – cleaning up
the headstone of Benjamin Newhall
Johnson – a local historian
and attorney who owned what
would later become Breakheart
Reservation. Wallace, 53, is a
1987 Saugus High School graduate
and a lifelong resident of the
town. He is in the final year of his
fourth two-year term on the Saugus
Town Meeting. He has been
a low voltage electrical technician
for 35 years, in Local 103. He
and his wife, Amy, a Lynn native,
have been married for 22 years.
They have three children: Alex,
16, who is a sophomore at Saugus
Middle-High School; Abigail,
18, who is a freshman at Saint
Anselm College in Manchester,
N.H.; and Andrew, 20, who will
be a junior at Bentley University
in Waltham, Mass. Amy Wallace
has worked for 29 years
as a Special Education teacher
in Lynn Public Schools. Following
his graduation from Saugus
High School, Wallace spent
four years in the JATC (Joint Apprenticeship
Training Committee)
program run by the I.B.E.W.
Local 103. He is very involved in
car shows, particularly antique
cars. In addition to being elected
to serve four two-years terms
on the Annual Town Meeting,
he is currently in his first term as
a member on the town’s Cemetery
Commission. He has also
in the past volunteered to help
cleanup efforts on the Saugus
portion of the Northern Strand
Community Trail, town parks
and playgrounds. Highlights of
this week’s interview follow.
Saugus the greatest gift he
could ever give – Breakheart
Reservation – all of that recreation
land. Breakheart is
owned by the DCR [state Department
of Conservation &
Recreation]. He died in 1932
and the state purchased it two
years later. He donated a lot of
money to local organizations.
And the land he owned – the
family sold it to the state for
a very reasonable amount of
money.
I do a lot of hiking at
Breakheart, so I know the history
of Mr. Johnson. He had a
lodge there on the land that
is now Breakheart. You can
still see the foundation on
what is called The Lodge Trail.
He dammed the Saugus RivLABOR

Wallace recently completed a cleanup of the tombstone
marking the grave of Benjamin Newhall Johnson, a prominent
Saugonian who owned the land that now encompasses
Breakheart Reservation. (Saugus Advocate photo by
Mark E. Vogler)
Q: How did the unkempt
gravestone of Benjamin Newhall
Johnson come to your
attention?
A: I was actually walking
through the cemetery last November
and I stumbled upon
it. I already knew who he was
because I read a book about
Breakheart Reservation.
Q: Tell me about the gravestone.
What kind of condition
was it in?
A: Terrible. It was in very bad
shape. It probably hadn’t been
cleaned in 90 years. I didn’t do
anything, because I had to get
permission to clean it.
Q: Who is Benjamin Newhall
Johnson?
A: He was a Saugus native
who went to Saugus schools.
He graduated from Harvard
University cum laude in 1878
with a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy,
and he went on to become
a very powerful attorney
in Boston. I believe he lived in
Lynn at the time of his death.
He bought all of the land that
Breakheart Reservation is now
on. He was born June 19, 1856,
in Lynn, Mass. He grew up in
Saugus and was educated in
Saugus schools, and he died in
Lynn on Feb. 19, 1932.
Q: And why should Benjamin
Newhall Johnson’s name
be important to Saugus residents
who pride themselves
on knowing the history of their
hometown?
A: The reason I wanted to
clean his grave is that he gave
er and made the two lakes at
Breakheart, known as Silver
and Pearce Lakes. He liked to
hunt out there and stay in the
lodge. It was his vacation place.
Q: What else do you want
to tell me or tell the readers of
The Saugus Advocate about
Mr. Johnson?
A: People should be aware
that somebody left that land
to the state, and thousands
and thousands of people enjoy
it every year – an unbelievable
gift. The least I could do is
clean his monument. I thought
it was really neat that he left
$5,000 to the Town of Saugus
for the library, and, specifically,
his will said that the

Federal probe cracks North Shore drug ring

organization (DTO) that allegedly
manufactured and distributed
tens of thousands of
counterfeit prescription pills
containing narcotics. Lawrence
Michael Nagle, a/k/a “Mikey,”
32, of Saugus, and his brother,
Christopher Nagle, a/k/a
“Cuda,” 28, of Revere, had been
identified as far back as 2018 as
leaders of a DTO distributing
various controlled substances
throughout the North Shore
region of Massachusetts, according
to documents filed
by federal investigators. Federal
agents alleged that the
Nagle DTO distributed significant
quantities of various controlled
substances: Adderall
(both pharmaceutical-grade
pills and counterfeit pills containing
methamphetamine),
methamphetamine, Xanax,
Oxycodone (both pharmaceutical-grade
and counterfeit pills
containing fentanyl), cocaine
and marijuana, among others.
The Nagle brothers were
among 23 members of the
DTO charged this week. Also
charged with conspiracy to
possess with intent to distribute
and to distribute controlled
substances were Justin Westmoreland,
24, of Saugus, and
Anna Bryson, 59, of Saugus.

lives. Loved ones taken, stolen
from us. And to be clear –
counterfeit prescription pills
being sold on the street are
part of the problem. Swallowing
a deadly drug can have
the same fatal outcome as injecting
one. These charges are
an important step in slowing
and ending the near constant
stream of illegal drugs flowing
into our communities,” Rollins
said.
“We allege the defendants
participated in a large-scale
drug ring that was prepared
to distribute tens of thousands
of counterfeit Adderall
pills containing methamphetamine
in addition to the
counterfeit Adderall pills and
counterfeit oxycodone pills
containing fentanyl that they
were actually distributing into
neighborhoods on the North
Shore,” she said.
“Disguised to look like your
average prescriptions from
the pharmacy, these pills contained
deadly narcotics – including
fentanyl, which is
100 times more potent than
morphine, and methamphetamine,
which also has been responsible
for countless overdose
deaths. As a result of this
investigation, North Shore
residents are safer now with
more than 74,000 potentially
deadly pills removed from
their streets.”
The Nagle DTO allegedly distributed
controlled substances
to a small network of individuals
who would then redistribute
the drugs to other
traffickers, including separate,
but interconnected, organizations.
These smaller organizations
were allegedly headed
by Nelson Mora, a/k/a “Nellie,”

29,
of Lynn; Javier Bello, a/k/a
“Javi,” 27, of Beverly; and Anthony
Bryson, 33, of Billerica.
Federal investigators alleged
that Mora, Bello and Bryson
obtained their drug supply
from other sources at times
and that Mora and Bryson had
access to pill press machines
used to create counterfeit pills.
The investigation resulted
in numerous seizures of controlled
substances, including
the following: over 74,000
counterfeit Adderall pills containing
methamphetamine,
weighing more than 24 kilograms;
591 counterfeit Adderall
pills containing methamphetamine;
1,000 counterfeit
Oxycodone pills containing
fentanyl; and 101 counterfeit
Oxycodone pills containing
fentanyl.
During the execution of
federal search warrants this
week, investigators seized a
pill press hidden under a sheet
in a basement laundry room,
plastic bags containing approximately
three to four kilograms
of suspected powdered
fentanyl in various colors,
various quantities of suspected
counterfeit Adderall
pills containing methamphetamine
and various quantities
of suspected counterfeit oxycodone
containing fentanyl.
Many of the suspected counterfeit
pills were packaged for
sale. A firearm and additional
suspected counterfeit pills
containing controlled substances
were also seized from
inside a furniture hide.
“Massachusetts is in the
midst of a devastating opioid
crisis as deaths from deadly
fake pills soar,” said Brian D.

of the Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA), Boston
Field Division.

“The Old Sachem”
A Conundrum
By Bill Stewart
I
’m back after a long vacation.
It’s time to review the
Patriots situation. If Mac is
back, then Zappe is probably
not happy.
Mac Jones was injured on the
last play of the fourth game, a
severe ankle injury. Through
his three games this season his
record is one win and two losses;
his completion percentage
was 66.0; yards per game were
262.0; two touchdowns, fi ve interceptions
and fi ve sacks. Brian
Hoyer was the quarterback for
the fourth game and suff ered a
loss against the Green Bay Packers.
Bailey Zappe came into the
game when Hoyer was injured
and completed 10 of 15 passes
for 99 yards and one touchdown
while being sacked three
times. Since then, Zappe has
made the fans very happy with
two wins, a 74.5 completion
rate, yards per game of 248.5,
three touchdowns, one interception
where the ball bounced
off the receiver and into the defenders
arm, and two sacks.
Now, the question becomes,
do we stick with a winner or
do we return to our high draft
pick, Mac Jones, who had a
pretty good year in 2021.
The story gets more complicated
when we look at the
DRUG RING | FROM PAGE 4
continue to work with our law
enforcement partners to put
other callous distributors behind
bars,” Boyle said.
Colonel Christopher Mason,
Superintendent of the Massachusetts
State Police, commended
the DEA, our Commonwealth
Interstate Narcotics
Trafficking Reduction and
Enforcement task force, and the
multiple partner agencies “for
their superb work interdicting
this drug organization.”
“The practice of disguising
fentanyl and other dangerous
drugs as prescription medication
is especially nefarious for
the dangers it poses to unsuspecting
users and the new addictions
it fuels,” Col. Mason said.
“The neighborhoods of the
North Shore are safer today for
their eff orts,” he said.
Conviction on the charge of
conspiracy to possess with intent
to distribute and to distribute
controlled substances provides
for a sentence of up to 20
years in federal prison, at least
three years of supervised release
and fi nes of up to $1 million.
Sentences are imposed by
game results. In Zappe’s fi rst
win, the defense shut down
the number one off ense, the
Detroit Lions, then they faced
a Cleveland Browns offense
which averaged 192 rushing
yards per game, and the Patriots
held them to 70 yards on 18
carries, a 3.9 average. The Patriots
have frequently run the
ball through the fi rst six games,
which has the advantage of
running the clock. I have to
submit this article before the
Bears game on Monday night
as a critical situation develops,
which may or may not change
the Patriots as a contender. The
Patriots have used a rushing offense
to assist the young quarterbacks.
Let
us get a better picture of
Zappe. He was a graduate student
at Western Kentucky after
transferring from Houston Baptist
College. In the short 2020
season, the Baptist quarterback
completed 141 of 215 passes
(65.6%) for 1,833 yards with 15
touchdowns and a single interception.
He passed the 10,000
yard mark in his four years at
Houston – completed 900 passes
on 1,477 attempts (60.9%) for
10,004 yards, 78 touchdowns
and 39 interceptions.
Transferring to Western Kentucky
in 2021, Zappe completed
475 passes from 686 ata
federal district court judge
based upon the U.S. Sentencing
Guidelines and statutes which
govern the determination of a
sentence in a criminal case.
U.S. Attorney Rollins, DEA
SAC Boyle, MSP Superintendent
Colonel Mason, Melrose
Police Chief Michael L. Lyle,
Lowell Police Interim Superintendent
Barry Golner and
Lynn Police Chief Christopher
P. Reddy made the announcement
on Wednesday (Oct.
26). They credited the Beverly,
Billerica, Everett, Peabody,
Revere, Salem, Saugus and
Swampscott Police Departments
with providing “valuable
assistance.”
Assistant U.S. Attorneys
James E. Arnold, Ann Taylor,
and Evan D. Panich of Rollins’
Narcotics & Money Laundering
Unit are prosecuting
the case.
This eff ort is part of an Organized
Crime Drug Enforcement
Task Force (OCDETF)
operation. OCDETF identifi

Old Sachem,” Bill

tempts for a 69.2% rate – 5,987
yards, 62 touchdowns and 11
interceptions. At Western Kentucky
in the Conference USA,
Zappe was selected Most Valuable
Player, All CUSA fi rst team,
and selected Off ensive Player
of the Week four times. His successful
appearance with the Patriots
should not be a surprise
to the media and to the New
England fans.
Let’s hope the winning runs
for whichever quarterback the
Patriots decide to use.

known to Saugus Advocate
readers as “The Old Sachem,” is
back after a hiatus from writing
his weekly column about sports.
He wrote this article before the
New England Patriots’ disappointing
loss to the Chicago
Bears on Monday night (Oct. 24).
But the column is still very relative
as the quarterback controversy
continues to swirl around
the New England Patriots.)

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 28, 2022
Special Town Meeting
Members vote to indefinitely postpone a nonbinding resolution opposing
expansion of WiN Waste innovations’ ash landfill
O
ver the years, the Annual
Town Meeting has had several
symbolic votes opposing expansion
of the ash landfill near
the trash-to-energy incinerator
on Route 107. But during Monday
night’s Special Town Meeting,
members voted by a slim majority
(21-15) vote with 13 members
absent to postpone indefinitely
a nonbinding resolution
that opposed further extension of

WIN Waste Innovations’ ash landfill
and also took a stand against
any effort to modify the law or
regulations relative to the Areas
of Critical Environmental Concern
(ACEC). Had the resolution
passed, it would have been circulated
to the entire state legislative
delegation for Saugus in addition
to the commissioner of the
state Department of Environmental
Protection (MassDEP).
Speakers opposing the resolution
– including Board of Selectmen
Chair Anthony Cogliano –
argued that passage of the resolution
might jeopardize a pending
Host Community Agreement
(HCA) being negotiated with WIN
Waste Innovations that would
extend the ash landfill 20 more
years in return for tipping fees
being waived over the life of the
agreement. After more than an
hour of discussion, Town Meeting
members voted 25-12 with 12 absences
to call the question, effectively
ending the debate.
“By deciding not to oppose
the continued use of our monofill,
Town Meeting has joined the
Landfill Committee and Board of
Selectmen in advancing an idea
that would provide significant environmental
and economic benefits
to the Town for years to come,”
said Jim Connolly, WIN Waste Innovations
Vice President Environmental.
“A proposed Host Community
Agreement (HCA) between
Saugus and WIN Waste
would formalize these benefits if
we are able to obtain the necessary
permits to continue operating
the monofill. We look forward
to working with the Town to finalize
the HCA, engaging in a rigorous,
transparent and fact-based
environmental review process,
and making our case to the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) and
the Saugus Board of Health.”
The resolution was initiated by
four of the five Precinct 10 Town
Meeting Members: Martin Costello,
Peter Manoogian, Darren Ring
and Carla Scuzzarella.
Selectmen, by a 3-2 margin,
voted last month to support the
HCA.
Howev er,
DEP officials
have already
said current
state environmental
regulations
do not allow
expansion
of the ash landfill.
WIN would
have to influence
lawmakers
to change
existing environmental
law
and regulations
in order to continue
using the
landfill for two
decades after
its capacity
runs out.
I n other
Town Meeting
business on
Monday night,
members voted
unani
-
mously to create
a Supplemental
Student
Support
Reserve Fund
that would aid
the School Department
in
reaching students
whose
education was
adversely affected
by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Town Manager Scott C.
Crabtree proposed the fund with
the intention of making use of an
extra $3 million that Gov. Charlie
Baker added to Chapter 70 funds.
A provision of the special fund provides
that “In order for the Saugus
Public Schools to access these
funds the Superintendent and
School Committee must submit
a detailed plan to the Saugus Finance
Committee who will determine
that such plans are supplementing
current educational programming
and not supplanting it.”
The Supplemental Student
Support Reserve Fund was created
to raise and appropriate a sum
of money for deposit into such
fund for the following purpose(s):
–To develop and provide enrichment
programs outside of
the school day, including summer
school, evening school,
and before and after school programs
not currently existing in
the school budget
–To deliver at home tutoring for
students who have been identified
as needing one on one support
from a qualified educator
–To procure and administer
norm referenced student assessments
to identify individual student
deficiencies in mathematics
and reading
–To develop and implement
parent/guardian communication
and training programs that
will help facilitate student learning
and success
–To supplement existing ESL
/ ELL learners including, but not
limited to, materials and properly
credentialed staff to support
these learners
–To ensure access to technology
for students who have been
identified as not having such at
home
–To develop and implement
extended day programs for students
as needed
–To develop any program
deemed appropriate and proven
effective with the goal of bringing
about student academic and social
recovery from two years of remote
learning
Crabtree proposed creating the
fund with an additional $3 million
Gov. Charlie Baker’s administration
put into Chapter 70, which
provides state aid to public elementary
and secondary schools,
this year. Now that the fund is
approved by Town Meeting, the
School Committee and Superintendent
Erin McMahon are now
responsible for proposing a plan
for how to spend the funds, which
will go before the Finance Committee

whole $5,000 had to be used
to buy library books. He also
left $5,000 for the Methodist
Episcopal Church of East Saugus,
to pay the pastor’s salary.
He must have really liked him.
Five grand in 1932 was a lot of
money.
Q: Please tell me about the
logistics of your cemetery project.
A:
I saw Mr. Johnson’s headstone
again this year, and it
was really, really dirty. I’m probably
more concerned about
it because I am a member of
the town Cemetery Commission.
And one of the members
mentioned a Facebook group
called “The Good Cemeterian,”
a group of people who donate
their time and are dedicated to
cleaning headstones.
I had the urge that I had to
clean it for him. It was the biggest
undertaking for my stone
cleaning. I have a considerable
amount of hours invested in
it – at least eight hours. I had
some help from Tom Raiche,
a former Saugonian and Saugus
High graduate. He likes to
clean headstones, too, and he
came down one day and gave
me a hand.
Q: You had to get permission
to clean the stone?
A: Yes. You have to get permission
to clean any headstone
in any cemetery, in general. You
always should get permission
before you start to clean it.
Q: Okay, so after you got permission,
how did you proceed?
A: The first two days that I
started cleaning, I felt discourRIBBON

ing entity during the construction
phase. The project enhanced
an already paved trail
in some communities, such
as upgrading road crossings
to make them better and safer
locations. In other communities
where the rails were still
in place the project involved all
aspects of trail design, permitting
and construction. Additionally,
the trail was designed
by the team of Brown, Richardson,
and Rowe, landscape architects,
and Stantec Consulting
engineers, who also administered
project construction,
and built by the R. Zoppo
Corporation.
“After nearly 30 years of tireless
advocacy, Bike to the Sea
is thrilled to celebrate the official
ribbon cutting for the
Northern Strand Trail,” said Jonah
Chiarenza, Executive Director
of Bike to the Sea.
“We thank the Commonaged
that I was in over my head.
It was so far gone, that I felt I
was way over my head on this
project. But after a few times of
working on it, I felt good about
it and was making some progress.
Q:
Did you try different cleaning
agents?
A: No, you only use a soft
brush and a wooden paint stick.
You don’t want to use any harsh
abrasives or a wire brush or
bleach that will harm the stone.
Q: Okay, what was the cleaning
agent you used?
A: D-2 Biological Solution.
It’s actually used in Arlington
National Cemetery, and it’s not
sold in stores.
Q: And what did you use to
apply it?
A: You spray it on and let it sit
for 10 minutes and scrub it with
a soft brush and wash all the dirt
off with clean water. The way
the stuff works – it is a time-released
cleaning agent. It keeps
cleaning the stone for a long
time. It kills all the algae on the
stone, which is all that junk you
see on it.
Q: Are you still cleaning it?
A: No, it’s pretty much done –
just letting Mother Nature take
care of it now.
Q: When did you finish it?
A: Last week.
Q: You mentioned that there
are a few other headstones in
the cemetery that you have
been working on. How many?
A: I’ve cleaned about 30 other
stones. But this is the one
I’m most proud of. I’ve done a
bunch of World War II veterans,
too. Then there’s Isabelle Louise
Hallin.
Q: Oh yes. That’s the Saugus
wealth of Massachusetts for
this historic investment in recreation
and active transportation,”
Chiarenza said.

to resign in 1937 after unsubstantiated
rumors that she
served alcohol and cigarettes
to her students during a practice
of a high school play in the
basement of her parents’ home.
The School Committee voted to
exonerate her in January 1942 –
11 days after her tragic Christmas
Eve death in her New York
City apartment. At the recommendation
of Peter Manoogian,
who researched the Hallin story,
the Annual Town Meeting voted
in 2012 to adopt “The Hallin
Principle” and approve the creation
of the plaque which was
unveiled the following year. It
reads: “May our actions within
this Town Hall lead to greater
wisdom and justice rather than
sorrow and regret.”
The plaque, which includes a
photo of Isabelle Louise Hallin,
is illuminated and hangs on the
wall of the landing between the
first and second floors of Sauwork
to begin in the summer
of 2023, with construction expected
to take about two years.
The completed project will result
in a transportation and recreation
corridor of about 11.5
miles from the Somerville side
of the Mystic River at Assembly
Row to the beach at the Nahant
causeway.
“We’re thrilled to see the
expansion of the Northern
Strand and to have Lynn added
to the shared use path,”
Lynn Mayor Jared Nicholson
said. “This initiative will contribute
to our goals of increasing
connectivity and accessibility
to transportation and
open, green space throughout
the City and beyond,” he said.

Northern Strand Trail “a transformative

Many, many hours; too

Cities of Revere, Saugus and

said.
Malden Mayor Gary Christenson
called the project
a precedent-setting development
for his community.
“There isn’t anything that has
transformed our city like the
Northern Strand Community
Trail has done,” Mayor Christenson
said.
“From providing a safe space
to bike, run, and walk to creating
a place for public art
to being a place for families
to come together, the
trail has achieved all that we
had hoped for and it has also
proven that hard work is still
the key to success,” Christenson
said.
“Thank you to Bike to the
Sea for their 20 years of dedication
to making this invaluable
project a reality,” he said.
I talked to a nephew in Alton,
N.H., and he gave me permission
to clean the stone. He
told me he remembered going
there as a little boy to put
flowers on it. It was really neat
that he told me that – it made
my day. And I felt good after I
cleaned the stone.
Q: Anything else that you
would like to share about this
project?
A: I think it would be neat if
the Friends of Breakheart and
maybe the DCR would come
down to Riverside Cemetery
and do a little ceremony. This is
the 90th year since he passed,
and it would be nice to acknowledge
that.
Revere Mayor Brian Arrigo
called the Northern Strand
Community Trail “a shining
example of regional collaboration
and the commitment
of the Commonwealth to enhance
the quality of life for the
residents of our urban communities.”
“Thanks
to the hard work of
our local and state partners,
the residents of Revere will enjoy
this trail for generations to
come and have enhanced access
to open space and outdoor
recreation,” Mayor Arrigo
said.
State Senator Brendan
Crighton (D-Lynn) hailed the
trail project as a great connector
of all the communities
in the region. “The Northern
Strand Trail continues to bring
people together both within
and across communities,”
Crighton said. “We are thankful
for this project, which is a
major investment in our region’s
public health, economy,
and emissions reduction
efforts.”

Saugus girls’ soccer drops Senior Night tilt to Peabody
O
By Greg Phipps
n a foggy evening
Wednesday, the Saugus
High School girls’ soccer team
celebrated its Senior Night but
suffered a 3-1 loss to the Peabody
Tanners at Christie Serino
Jr. Stadium. The Sachems
had been on a roll entering
the final week of the regular
season but dropped consecutive
games to Swampscott
on Monday and Peabody on
Wednesday.
In the loss to the Tanners,
who had just five wins entering
the game, the Sachems
had a few good chances offensively
in the first half but
couldn’t dent the net. Meanwhile
Peabody tallied at the
midway point of period one
to go into the half ahead 1-0.
The visitors netted two
more in the second half while
the Sachems got on the
board once. Saugus fell to
11-5-1 on the season with
the playoffs right around the
corner. Having allowed six
goals in their last two games
after having been stellar on
defense over a three week
stretch, the Sachems will
look to end the regular season
on solid note and regain
their momentum when they
host Somerville Friday.
Saugus honored its
three senior players before
Wednesday’s contest. Receiving
recognition were
Lexi Rais, Allison Justice and
Ana Flemings. The rest of
the roster, which includes
the likes of Veronica Ortega,
Madi Femino, Shawn Sewell,
and Madison Botta, will be

Friday ’s game against
Somerville is an important
one given that it could mean
the difference between an
opening-round playoff game
at home or one on the road.
A victory would give the Sachems
12 for the season and
could help earn them a high
enough seeding to open the
tourney on their home turf.

Saugus boys’ soccer team reaches double digits in victories
I
By Greg Phipps
t has certainly been a turnaround
season for the Saugus
High School boys’ soccer
team, and it appears the development
of players in the
town’s youth soccer leagues
has helped to build a formidable
program at the high
school level. Since suffering
a 5-1 loss to Gloucester
back on Oct. 10, the postseason-bound
Sachems
have reeled off six consecutive
wins and have allowed
just two goals in those five
contests. The team has also
reached 12 victories on the
season and could be in position
for at least a first-round
playoff game at home.
The latest triumph came
on Wednesday on the road
against Peabody – a 2-1 defeat
of the Tanners. Last week, Saugus
knocked off Swampscott,
5-1, on Monday, beat Greater
Lawrence Tech last Thursday
(a 5-0 shutout) and blanked
the Danvers Falcons in an
impressive 2-0 home showing
last Tuesday.
Forward Max Anajjar
popped home both goals in
the win over Danvers while
teammates Nicholas Alves,
Cam Soroko and Alejandro
Ortega put forth key efforts
to aid the cause. The Sachems
tallied once each in the first
and second halves while, at
the same time, playing solid
defensively to keep the Falcons
off the scoreboard.
Head Coach Guillermo Sepulveda
has overseen the Sachems’
progression from a
borderline playoff challenger
in recent years to a legitimate
and dangerous postseason
representative this fall. He told
the press after the Danvers
win last week that the town’s
youth soccer movement and
the players’ familiarity with
each other has made a lot of
difference. “[The players have]
grown up together. They’ve
played ball in town,” Sepulveda
explained. “A lot of them are a
product of Saugus soccer from
when they were little kids.”
Sepulveda also pointed out
that ball possession, patience
and ball movement have been
the key to the teams’ success
this season. “We don’t go for the
quick shot all the time,” he said.
The Sachems close out the
regular season at Mystic Valley
on Friday.

n a season where victories
have been hard to come by,
the Saugus High School fi eld
hockey team collected its second
win of the season with a
hard-fought 2-1 triumph over
Revere last Friday night at
Christie Serino Jr. Stadium. It
was Senior Night for the Sachems,
and the team’s two seniors
- Lindsey Tammaro and
Senior player Marissa Patterson and family.
Marissa Patterson - were recognized
prior to the game.
Tammaro celebrated the occasion
by scoring one of Saugus’s
two tallies. It came on
a penalty shot in the second
half and turned out to be the
game-winner. Cassidy Cheney
scored to put the Sachems
ahead in the second quarter
and give the hosts a 1-0 lead
at the half.
With two games left in the
season this week, Saugus
owned a 2-12-2 record. Head
coach Barbara Guarente pointed
out that this year’s team is extremely
young with 10 eighth
graders on a roster of 22 players
(varsity and JV combined).
“We are a young team. The
girls have made great strides
in their skills and knowledge of
the game,” Guarente observed.
“They have improved with each
game and (the coaches) are really
proud of their progress.”
Guarente also praised the
performance and leadership
of her two senior captains
Tammaro and Patterson. “They

The Sounds of Saugus
By Mark E. Vogler
Good Morning, Saugus!
Looks like we should be in
for another nice weekend – a
very good Halloween weekend.
Unfortunately, the weather forecast,
as I am a few days away
from deadline yesterday (Thursday,
Oct. 27) looks like a rainy
Halloween (Monday, Oct. 31). Oh
well, it still looks like a darn good
weekend to observe Halloween
for those who are into the season
of trick or treating, witches,
goblins and ghosts.
For those who haven’t purchased
their pumpkin yet, go to
“The Pumpkin Patch” that is in
its final days on the lawn of the
First Congregational Church in
Saugus Center abutting Hamilton
Street – and across the street
from Town Hall. Buying one of
those pumpkins gets you in
the Fall Spirit and also goes to
a good cause. Saugus is one of
many communities receiving
pumpkins from the Navajo Reservation
near Farmington, N.M.,
working with a program called
Pumpkin Patch USA, which coordinates
the destination of the
pumpkins. The church and the
Navajo Reservation both benefit
from the pumpkins. Pumpkins of
all sizes are still displayed on the
church lawn and will be available
for purchase every day through
Halloween from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
And for those folks who love
a Halloween-themed play, you
have three days, counting today
(Friday, Oct. 28) to check out the
Theatre Company of Saugus’s
presentation of “Zombie Prom.”
The performances for today
and tomorrow are 8 p.m. at the
American Legion Post 210 at 44
Taylor St. in Saugus. And there’s
a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $20 to $25 and may
be purchased in advance online
at TCSaugus.org/tickets. Check it
out and have some fun.
Whatever you do, be safe out
there and slow down for the
little kids in costume, whom you
might not see when you’re texting
on your phone while driving
over a crosswalk without stopping.
Yeah, I see you out there!
Some of the same folks who
won’t stop in the daytime when
I’m in the crosswalk, on Hamilton
Street, walking toward the Public
Safety Building. Since I started
working as the Editor of The
Saugus Advocate about six and
a half years ago, I have to stop in
the crosswalk about 40 percent
of the time because stupid and
reckless drivers don’t recognize
the state law that pedestrians
have the right-of-way while in
the crosswalk and drivers must
stop their vehicles. Stay tuned.
Household Hazardous
Waste Collection tomorrow!
Residents are invited to dispose
of their household hazardous
waste in an environmentally
responsible manner during
a collection event tomorrow
(Saturday, Oct. 29) from 9 a.m. to
noon. This event will be held at
the Belmonte Upper Elementary
School located at 25 Dow
St. This year it will be a contactless
event; there will be no
preregistration. Residents must
stay in their vehicles and hold up
a driver’s license, and all materials
must be placed in the trunk
or rear of the vehicle. Residents
will be limited to two carloads,
the equivalent of 50 pounds or
50 gallons, of hazardous waste.
The rain-or-shine event will
allow residents to dispose of a
series of household waste products,
including rubber cement,
airplane glue, fiberglass resins,
aerosol cans, photo chemicals,
furniture polish, floor and metal
polish, oven cleaner, drain and
toilet cleaner, spot remover, rug
and upholstery cleaner, hobby
and artist supplies, photography
chemicals, turpentine and
chemistry sets. The following
garage supplies will also be
accepted: fuel/gasoline, kerosene,
engine degreaser, brake
fluid, carburetor cleaner, transmission
fluid, car wax, polishes,
driveway sealer, car batteries,
antifreeze, cesspool cleaners,
roofing tar, swimming pool
chemicals, motor oil and car
batteries. Accepted workbench
waste includes oil-based paints,
stains, varnishes, wood preservatives,
paint strippers or thinners,
solvent adhesives and lighter
fluid. Residents may also bring
the following yard waste: weed
killer, chemical fertilizers, flea
control products, mothballs,
poisons, insecticides, herbicides,
pesticides and fungicides.
Residents are urged to take
caution when transporting
household hazardous materials.
Locals may do so by keeping
the materials in their original
containers, tightening caps
and lids, sorting and packing
products separately and packing
containers in sturdy upright
boxes padded with newspaper.
Please remember never to mix
chemicals or to smoke while
handling hazardous materials.
The hazardous household
waste collection will not accept
commercial waste. The following
items will not be accepted: empty
containers or trash, latex paint,
commercial or industrial waste,
radioactive waste, smoke detectors,
infectious and biological
wastes, ammunition, fireworks,
explosives, fire extinguishers or
syringes.
TVs, computers and car tires
may be recycled at the drop-off
site located at 515 Main St. on
Wednesdays and Saturdays from
8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Town of Saugus would like
to thank everyone for their cooperation.
Please contact Jeannie
Meredith at 781-231-4111 with
any questions.
Looking for a “Trouble in the
Forest” response
We’ve been playing some
phone tag with David DiBarri,
Superintendent of the Northeast
Metropolitan Regional Vocational
School District, regarding Laura
Eisener’s cover story last week,
“Trouble in the Forest,” which focused
on a group protesting the
destruction of 13-plus acres of
trees for construction of the new
Northeast Metro Tech School.
The Voke superintendent did
call and left his cell phone number,
but we were unable to
connect. However, he did send
me an email, which included a
link –https://northeastbuildingproject.com/faq/
– with some
questions and answers, a few of
them which seemed to be related
to the issues that concern
the group that’s been protesting
the destruction of trees at the
construction site.
One of the questions: How are
you allowed to go in and remove
any trees you want and blast
the hillside? The answer posted
by Voke officials: “Please note
that the project only intends to
remove rock and trees that are
necessary to accommodate the
new school and associated fields
and parking. The property for
the new school is being built on
private (School District owned)
land. The local & MSBA funding
has been secured, so with proper
local approvals the project can
move forward.”
The website also mentions, “If
you do not see your question answered
above or have any other
questions/comments please fill
out to the form below or send
an email to @NortheastMetro@
PMAConsultants.com.”
The website offers another
question: How can the local
community keep informed and/
or be involved as this project
progresses? The answer that The
Voke administration provides:
• Project website: northeastbuildingproject.com
•
Project Facebook Page: facebook.com/newNEMT
•
Project Instagram Page: Instagram.com/newNEMT
•
Attend School Building Committee
meetings, typically held
on the second Thursday of each
month at 5:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Readers who are concerned
about the project should check
out these webpages – and complain
if they are not satisfied with
the answers. Meanwhile, we
hope to get some comments
from the superintendent or
other Voke officials on the exact
extent of the tree removal and
destruction to pave the way for
the new school building. Stay
tuned.
Town-Wide Fall Street
Sweeping underway
Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree
and the Department of Public
Works announced that the
Town’s Annual Fall Street Sweeping
Program began on Tuesday,
Oct. 11. Sweepers began in the
area of North Saugus (Precincts
5 and 7) and worked their way
across town, working from 7 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. The Town of Saugus
asks that residents keep vehicles
off the street when sweepers are
in the area.
Locals may assist the Department
of Public Works by sweeping
their driveways or sidewalks
into the gutter area prior to the
program’s start. But they should
not sweep driveways and/or
sidewalks once the sweepers
have swept.
Residents should keep in mind
that street sweepers are unable
to collect stones, branches,
leaves or other foreign objects. In
addition, residents are asked to
be mindful that sweepers cannot
pick up large piles of sand.
Please contact the Department
of Public Works at 781-2314143

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, OCTObEr 28, 2022
Saugus Gardens in the Fall
Here’s what’s blooming in town this week to make your walks more enjoyable
By Laura Eisener
T
here are two different
flowers usually considered
birthday flowers
for October: cosmos and marigolds,
both members of the
composite family (Asteraceae).
The flowers we usually call
marigolds are annuals in the
genus Tagetes, although back
in the 17th century people
would more likely be referring
to pot marigold (Calendula
spp.), which also has a golden
flower and which was used
medicinally and as a dye plant.
Marigold foliage has a distinctive
fragrance, which
helps keep deer and rabbits,
as well as some insect
pests, away from these plants.
Rabbits are plentiful in most
Saugus neighborhoods and
deer in a few, so this may be
an important consideration.
Long-stemmed varieties make
long-lasting cut flowers. Some
species are used in cooking.
The most widely available
marigold species, French marigold
(Tagetes patula) has double
flowerheads, which means
that there are many layers of
ray florets. This species originated
in Mexico, not France.
Although they are typically
planted here in late May and
bloom all through the summer,
Donna Manoogian and Nancy Sayles finished planting daffodil
bulbs at the Revolutionary War monument at the Saugus
Center cemetery, a joint project of the Saugus Garden
Club and Saugus Historical Society. (Courtesy photo to The
Saugus Advocate by Laura Eisener)
they often outlast other annuals
when the cooler weather of
fall comes, and their autumn
tones of orange, yellow and red
seem especially appropriate
to the season. Many popular
varieties have flowers which
combine two of these colors,
although solid yellows or oranges
are also widely available.
After the wet summer of
2021, I saw marigold flowers
poking up in the front lawn of
the library, probably self-sown
from the children’s garden
planter, and these seedlings
managed to bloom at a few
inches tall after adapting to
the lawn mower’s management
of the plant’s height.
With this summer’s dry weather,
I have not seen as many
self-sown plants. There are still
plenty of marigolds in bloom
planted along front walks or in
containers, now keeping company
with grinning pumpkins.
African marigolds (Tagetes
erecta) are the tallest marigolds
and may grow up to four
feet high, with large double
flowerheads that are almost
spherical. Despite their common
name, these are also
native to Mexico, and they
are sometimes called Mexican
marigold or Aztec marigold.
They may be yellow or light
orange, usually one solid color.
They are readily available and
only a little less common than
the French marigolds.
Signet marigolds (Tagetes
tenuifolia) are tiny, with very
feathery foliage, and are often
used as an edible garnish on
salads and other dishes. They
usually have just five petals on
their small flowerheads, and
a slightly lemon-like flavor.
Guess where they’re from? Also
Mexico and South America, like
the other species above.
Paper birch (Betula papyrReflections

neighborhood are among the pleasures of the season.

ifera) and gray birch (Betula
populifolia) are both white
barked birch species which
can be found in Saugus, and
their leaves are turning yellow
now. Gray birch is found in
sandy and gravelly soils, while
paper birch prefers forest soils,
but their habitats do overlap.
Bark color is not especially
reliable in distinguishing the
species, but leaf shape is quite
different – paper birch has a
pointed oval leaf shape while
gray birch leaves are much
more triangular. Young trees
and branches do not show

peak color this week. (Courtesy photo to The Saugus Advocate
by Laura Eisener)
the white bark until they are
several inches in diameter.
Looking forward to spring,
the Saugus Historical Society
and Saugus Garden Club
joined forces to plant about
175 daffodil bulbs at the Revolutionary
War Monument at
Saugus Center, where they can
be expected to bloom around
Patriots’ Day. The daffodils were
selected because they bloom
at such an appropriate time,
but also because they will need
little care and are not likely to
be eaten by rabbits or squirrels.
Editor’s Note: Laura Eisener is

who helps homeowners with
landscape design, plant selection
and placement of trees and
shrubs, as well as perennials.

shortly after the outbreak of the
COVID-19 pandemic. She was
inspired after seeing so many
people taking up walking.

are one of the birthday flowers for October. (Courtesy photo

Railroad buffs Paul Kenworthy,
Jack Klecker, Laura Eisener
and possibly others will share
their interest in trains. Steve
Carlson has shared some of
his research on the “Saugus
Branch” Railroad, which served
our community for 100 years
and which inspired Elliott
Paul’s 1912 book “Linden on

of his “boyhood in a
New England Town.” The event
takes place at 7 p.m. at 30 Main
St. in Saugus, the home of the
Saugus Historical Society and
the Saugus Cable TV station.
New town residents and any
railroad enthusiasts are especially
welcome this month,

A sad “Shout Out” to the late
Kathy Perkins
Precinct 6 Town Meeting
Member Jeanie Bartolo offered
what she called “a sad ‘Shout
Out’” on the passing of a beloved
Saugus school nurse who died
on Oct. 14. “A sad ‘Shout Out’ on
the passing of legendary Kathy
Perkins, retired Belmonte Middle
School Nurse,” Jeanie wrote. “I had
the honor of volunteering in the
nursing office with Kathy for 13
years. Kathy didn’t just take care
of the students’ cuts and bruises;
she motivated their self-esteem
and self-worth so they could
succeed in life. She led by example
and helped organize student
groups and was their biggest
cheerleader. I’m sure there’s not
a dry eye today as each and
every student who ever passed
through her office can remember
a moment when Mrs. Perkins
made everything all better. I saw
with my own eyes the impact
Kathy made on so many young
people’s lives and how much they
loved her, myself included. Rest In
Peace my dear friend.”
Want to “Shout Out” a fellow
Saugonian?
This is an opportunity for our
paper’s readers to single out – in
a brief mention – remarkable
acts or achievements by Saugus
residents or an act of kindness or
a nice gesture. Just send an email
(mvoge@comcast.net) with a
mention in the subject line of “An
Extra Shout Out.” No more than
a paragraph; anything longer
might lend itself to a story and/
or a photo.
We have a winner!
Congratulations to Mila
Moschella for making the right
identification in last week’s
“Guess Who Got Sketched” contest.
Mila is one of several readers
answering correctly, but she was
the only one to have her name
picked in a drawing from the
green Boston Red Sox cap.
Here’s the correct answer, offered
by the person who goes

groups would seek to have
members such as these two!) Ed
and Jean met at John Hancock,
where they both worked in departments
next to each other.
Ed asked her on a date and they
became an item and were married
in 1952. They are celebrating
over 52 years of marriage with
the apparent closeness of honeymooners!
“Ed
worked a few years at
Hancock & then worked as a Boston
Custodian and retired after
35 years. Jean was a Campfire
Girl (which it’s fun to still hear
the ‘Wohelo’ welcome shared
among Campfire Girls of the
past!). Jean was a member of
the (Masons sponsored) ‘Blue
Belle Highlanders’ of all girls
with Bagpipes and drums! Jean
played the bagpipes. The band’s
manager had booked them as
far as Canada for the Highlander
Games. They performed in
New York at World’s Fair, Boston
Garden, local parades, Topsfield
Fair and marched the Masons
to church under the swords at
the Masons’ special functions!
The BlueBelle Highlanders and
their music were in demand.
The most requested song was
‘Scotland the Brave’! Jean was in
the Blue-belle Highlanders from
1961-1966.
“Ed and Jean are longtime
Saugonians and love Saugus
and their neighbors! They give
excellent support and participation
in many events, often from
the sidelines with encouragement
& warm smiles.
“A few of their favorite events
include Founders Day and St.
John’s Annual sit down Roast
Beef dinner which is fantastic
(recently it has been take out
due to the pandemic but they
were in line for take out!)
“Ed’s and Jeans attitude reminds
me of another quote by
Groucho ‘I, not events, have the
power to make me happy or
unhappy today. I can choose
what it shall be. Yesterday is
dead, Tomorrow hasn’t arrived
yet, I have just one day, today,
and I’m going to be happy in
it!’ – Groucho Marx
“Ed and Jean are great neighbors
to have; great friends to be
privileged to know.

Youth Cross Country
Hey parents! If you have a
child or several kids who could
use an opportunity to get into a
healthier lifestyle – which might,
in turn, lead to better academic
scores, consider getting them to
sign up for Youth Cross Country.
Here’s a simple outline of what
this entails.
Who: any Saugus child in
grades one through five.
When: Tuesdays and Thursdays,
3:45 to 4:45 p.m., at the
Belmonte Track; Saturdays, 10 to
11:30 a.m. at the Visitor Center at
Breakheart Reservation.
Dates: The program will last
through Nov. 15.
Why: to learn to enjoy
cross-country running and make
new friends.
Cost: $100 for new runners,
$50 for returning runners.
This weekly program will be
guided by Coach Steve Boudreau
and Coach Chris Tarantino.
Children will learn good stretching
techniques and the basics
of exercise and cross-country
running. Best of all, this will be a
great way to make new friends.
Participants need to wear a
good pair of sneakers, dress in
comfortable running clothes
and bring a water bottle. For
details, contact Coach T (Not Mr.
T.) at 781-854-6778.
Sounds like a worthwhile and
affordable fitness program with
lots of upside for grade school
kids.

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

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