Eric Brown and his two daughters return from an Antarctica
adventure with some great stories to tell
Editorâ€™s Note: For this week,
we sat down with Eric W. Brown,
a Saugus native and software
developer who last month accompanied
his two daughters
â€“ both students in Saugus Public
Schools â€“ on a 16-day cruise
from Santiago, Chile, to the Antarctica
Peninsula, where Brown
was one of the 20 speakers at a
technical conference titled â€œThe
Conference at the End of the
World.â€ Their unique trip included
stops at South American cities,
the Falkland Islands â€“ where
they got to spend some time up
close with the Gentoo penguins,
and rounding Cape Horn, the
southern tip of South America
where the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans meet.
Brown is a 1986 Saugus High

School graduate. Brown received
a dual Bachelor of Science degree
in Physics and Mathematics
in 1991 from Northeastern University.
He received a Master of
Science degree in Computer Science
(Artificial Intelligence) from
Northeastern University in 1996.
He and his wife, Nhung Pham
Brown, have been married for
18 years. They met when Brown
was teaching at Boston University.
They are the parents of two
daughters: Ariana, 16, a junior
at Saugus High School; and Rhianon,
12, a seventh-grader at the
Belmonte Middle School.
A program for AntarctiConf
lists Brown as giving a talk on
Interactive Fiction. A short biography
says his software â€œhas
been sent into space, carried up
Mt. Everest, and strapped to the
head of an Indy 500 driver.â€ It also
notes that he designed the webbased
medical monitoring system
used by the two U.S. Navy
hospital ships USNS Comfort
and USNS Mercy and â€œwas even
awarded a challenge coin by the
Comfort to prove it â€“ a rarity for

Saugus students discuss unique educational trip to Antarctica
â€œItâ€™s learning, but it feels more fun and excitingâ€
L
ast monthâ€™s ship cruise
through Antarctica waters
was more than a trip of a lifetime
for Saugus sisters Ariana
and Rhianon Brown. It was an
educational venture which
needed the backing of Saugus
Public Schools.
This week the girls cited the
highlights of their trip and talked
about how it would benefit
their education.
Q: How does a trip like this
enrich your education?
Ariana: The trip gave a more
in-depth understanding of
some of the topics that have
been covered in school. Seeing
these things firsthand, such as
the geography of the region or
the culture of the people at the
ports we visited, gives me a personal
connection to them and
deepens the meaning of what
REVERE 1st
Iâ€™ve learned in school.
Rhianon: It provides a learning
experience most people
wonâ€™t ever get to see. I was able
to see the icebergs in person
and watch the way penguins
walk in person. Itâ€™s easier to understand
if you see it in person,
rather than through a video or
a picture online. Itâ€™s learning,
but it feels more fun and exciting.
I was also able to watch all

talks, and I learned a lot from
them. I could ask them questions
about their presentation

were talking about.
Q: During the trip, did you
find time to do homework or

Ariana: On days that the ship
was on the open ocean, there
was plenty of free time to do
whatever we chose. The library
on the ship provided a quiet
studying environment so I was

Ariana: For Latin class, I wrote
about the trip in a small booklet
for a project. I essentially
retold the main points and
summed up my favorite experiences,
although I recounted
them in Latin.
Rhianon: Some of the things
we talk about in class, such as
ecosystems and plant life, Iâ€™ve
seen in real life and can understand
better. Having been
down near the Antarctic tundra,
I know that the ecosystem
there isnâ€™t very diverse.

nitely, seeing the glaciers. Although
Iâ€™ve seen them in photos,
theyâ€™re breathtaking. It felt
very surreal to be seeing them
in person, and the sheer size of
them was shocking.
The most fun experience for
me was walking around some
of the ports the ship docked at,
particularly Ushuaia in Argentina.
I loved seeing the differences
in architecture and plant life,
which were quite different from
Saugus. More particularly, they
had many sculptures and other
works of art around the port,
which were interesting to see.
Because we only ate once off
of the ship, most of the food I
ate was relatively generic, although
it was definitely very
well prepared. When we did
eat out â€“ in Chile â€“ the food
was quite good. Chileâ€™s biggest
economy is salmon farming,
so I tried salmon when we had
lunch there, and it was definitely
a good choice.
Rhianon: The most amazing
part of the experience was
probably seeing all of the beautiful
landscapes. The sunsets
look so beautiful next to glaciers.
Further north in South
America the night sky is so dark.
I also noticed that the color of
the water was so much more
saturated around the Antarctic
than anywhere Iâ€™ve seen
around here.
The most fun part of the trip
mustâ€™ve been seeing Gentoo
penguins at the Falkland Islands.
Iâ€™ve always dreamed of
seeing penguins in person,
since I was little. Finally seeing
them â€“ and seeing them
so close â€“ made me feel awestruck
that I got to see everything
at such a young age. A
lot of people never get to see
many of the things that I saw.
The trip was, surprisingly, not
so challenging. Compared to
what others had to live through
in the past when exploring the
Antarctic, it was quite easy. We
had fresh food and water, and
very nice living quarters. However,
it was my first time on a
plane trip, and it wasnâ€™t fun being
on a plane for 10 or more
hours, and then wait around in
an airport for a few more.
The most delicious food
was probably the ice cream
and sorbets. They had many
unique flavors, such as honey,
pineapple, apple cider and
honeydew.

Brown is the son of George
W. and Carolyn Brown of Saugus.
Like many members of his
family, Brown has been active
in public service to his hometown.
He has served on the Saugus
Town Meeting and the Planning
Board. He helped set up the
original website for the Town
of Saugus. He founded Saugus.
Net in 1998 at a time when there
werenâ€™t many community sites
anywhere.
Highlights of this weekâ€™s interview
follow.
Q: Why did you sign up for
a technical conference that
was held in January on board
a cruise ship out in the waters
of Antarctica?
A: It was an easy way to see
one of the most remote and
beautiful areas in the world.
Q: How far is it from Saugus,
Mass., to Antarctica?
A: If you Google it, it says
9,583 miles.
Q: How did you get there?
A: We flew out of Boston to
Atlanta, from Atlanta to Santiago,
Chile. In Santiago, we
picked up the ship. It is 5,242
miles from Saugus to Santiago.
Q: How close did you come
to the bottom of the world?
A: We spent our time in the
waters of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Q:
Why take a trip like this in
the winter?
A: It was the Antarctic summer.
The average temperature
was warmer down there than
it was up here. Even though
it was 42 degrees, it didnâ€™t
feel that warmer. With the
sea winds blowing in at high
speeds, thatâ€™s what made you
feel cold. It was the time of the
year when you could see baby
olation rather than a fine. The
law states that no motor vehicle
operator may use electronic
devices while driving unless
the technology is being used
hands-free. Operators found to
be texting, dialing phone numbers
or using a phone with their
hands in any capacity while
driving will be fined.
Operators are permitted to
use hands-free technology, including
Bluetooth, â€œsingle tap
or swipeâ€ to activate or deactivate
hands-free mode, navigation
technology mounted to
the carâ€™s dash and phone use
in emergency situations. Drivpenguins
and baby seals.
Q: So, whatâ€™s it like down
there, at the bottom of the
world?
A: While we were in the
peninsula, it didnâ€™t get dark.
Around Antarctica, the water is
turquoise-colored. Itâ€™s not like
a gray color.
Q: So, what about life on the
ship?
A: We were on the Coral Princess.
The ship has 2,500 people
on it, which includes a crew of
about 800. There were 40 people
who attended the conference
â€“ half of them who were
speakers. I was the only speaker
from Massachusetts, and
we were the only three people
from Massachusetts. The crew
was from all over the world.
The captain was Canadian. The
departure point [in Santiago,
Chile] is so far removed that
not everybody who was going
to speak at the conference got
there on time.
There were lectures on the
ship about the past Antarctic
explorers. We had a choice of
fresh food.
Q: How were the living accommodations?
A:
The two girls had their
own single beds. I had a pullout
couch. It was a couch. The girls
thought the beds were okay.
Q: When did you decide to
go on this trip?
A: The process started about
a year and a half ago. If you get
a chance to do something like
this, you do it. If you see something
like this, you shouldnâ€™t
feel afraid to try it. I happened
to spot this ad about the conference.
I
submitted several different
talk proposals to the conference
planner, hoping that
I would get accepted. One of
them was about interactive fiction,
which I thought would be
a light topic. As it turned out,
ers may use their phones if they
are stationary and not in an active
traffic lane.
The penalty for drivers who
are found guilty of violating the
hands-free law is a $100 fine for
a first offense, a $250 fine for
a second offense and a $500
fine for a third or subsequent
offense. Operators who commit
a second or subsequent offense
are also required to complete
an educational program
focused on distracted driving
prevention. A third or subsequent
violation will count
as a â€œsurchargeableâ€ incident,
which can affect the driverâ€™s inthe
planner is a fan of interactive
fiction. So, she was interested
in my talk.
As soon as I saw the ad, I
wanted to run it by both my
girls and see if they were willing
to go. If they didnâ€™t do it,
I couldnâ€™t do it. But they both
wanted to.
And from that point on, I single-mindedly
planned to make
it happen, so I set out to deal
with the schools. About a year
ago, I spoke to the School Department
to get permission for
my two kids to attend. I wound
up meeting with the superintendent,
the individual principals
and the teachers. I had
to set up an appointment with
the school superintendent [Dr.
David DeRuosi, Jr.]. He thought
it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
and would be something
good for the girls to do.

hands-free law,â€ said Giorgetti.
â€œWe encourage drivers to not
use phones at all while driving,
but if absolutely necessary
drivers should use Bluetooth or
speaker to text or call.â€
The Act also includes a requirement
that law enforcement
agencies report data on
violations. The data collected
by law enforcement will be
available to the public.
The law does not apply to
first responders who are on
duty and driving emergency
service vehicles.

For Your
Meeting shouldnâ€™t be
held on Primary Day
Dear Editor:
Why would this open workshop
be scheduled the same
day as primary election? The
polls are still open at the time of
the workshop. Poor planning; I
certainly think so.
I am working at the polls
from 2 to closing. I canâ€™t be
there.
Just putting it out there.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Ellen Santosuosso
Editorâ€™s Note: Ellen Santosuosso
is referring to the Board
of Selectmenâ€™s decision to
schedule a public input session
for Tuesday, March 3 at
6 p.m. in the first floor conference
room. This is on the
same day that the Massachusetts
presidential primary is
scheduled.
~ Letter to The Editor ~
Selectman Serino clarifies
position on Special Permit
for Salem Turnpike project
Dear Editor:
Recently, the Board of Selectmen
was asked to issue an S-2
permit for a redevelopment
project located at the intersection
of Ballard Street and (RT
107) Salem Turnpike.
Hilco Redevelopment Partners
was seeking a special permit
from the Board of Selectmen
to allow a â€œLight Industrialâ€
use for the property. Hilcoâ€™s
plan for the property included
light manufacturing and distribution
uses.
I did support â€œLight Manufacturingâ€
and â€œWarehouseâ€
uses for the property and had
developed several conditions
for my colleagues to consider
based on the two uses for the
property.
However, I could not support
the â€œMotor Freight Terminalâ€
use of the property for
several reasons:
1.) Hilco is the middle-person
regarding the redevelopment
of this property.
2.) The property owner is
unknown.
3.) The final use of the property
is unknown; therefore, issuing
a (blank) S-2 permit for a
Motor Freight Terminal would
not be in Saugusâ€™s best interest.
4.)
The Townâ€™s Planning Department
has concerns regarding
the final use of the
property.
5.) The building could potentially
evolve into a Motor
Freight Terminal / Distribution
Center for companies
such as: UPS, FedEx (and) Amazon.
Consequently, hundreds
of trucks could potentially be
traveling daily throughout our
Town roadways in order to access
Route One north or continue
west onto Wakefield,
Stoneham, etc. Furthermore,
in my opinion, it would be extremely
difficult and maybe
not even legal, to effectively
enforce conditions for this
volume of truck traffic. Delivery
trucks will use the (shortest)
and (fastest) routes to deliver
their products.
6.) Over the past several years
the residents of our community,
rightfully so, have been concerned
regarding traffic and
speeding in our community.
The Town did engage (TEC) an
engineering firm to address our
public safety concerns. Several
recommendations have been
implemented, with more to
come. Consequently, a Motor
Freight Terminal would be a
step in the wrong direction regarding
public safety on Town
roadways.
7.) Furthermore, the proposed
development of the
(70+ acre) Caddy Farm in North
Revere and Saugus will greatly
impact traffic on our Town
roadways, particularly in the
Cliftondale Square area. Added
truck traffic in Cliftondale
Square is not in Saugusâ€™s best
interest.
In conclusion, although I differed
with my Board members
on this issue, we do get along
very well, even though we may
disagree on an issue, as in this
case.
However, I truly believe that a
Motor Freight Terminal, which
could potentially add hundreds
of trucks per day on our Town
roadways, is not in Saugusâ€™s
best interest.
Sincerely,
Mike Serino
Saugus Board of Selectmen

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE â€“ Friday, February 7, 2020
A six-month wait
Resolution time for Open Meeting Law complaints nearly doubles, according to state Attorney General
By Mark E. Vogler
I
t took more than six months
for the state Attorney Generalâ€™s
Division of Open Government
to resolve seven
complaints alleging that the
Saugus School Committee
violated the Open Meeting
Law (OML) last June. The division
finally determined, on
Dec. 31, 2019, that the School
Committee held an illegal executive
session and took an
improper vote behind closed
doors to privatize custodial
services.
By then it didnâ€™t matter, because
Saugus voters decided
they wanted a new School
Committee. All three of the
incumbent committee members
who ran for reelection
were defeated convincingly.
The Division of Open Government
drew local criticism
for such a long delay in reaching
a decision.
As it turns out, the resolutions

Meeting Law complaints
were about average for what
complaint writers experienced
statewide, according
to a recent report filed with
the state Open Meeting Law
Advisory Commission. â€œThe
average complaint resolution
time increased in 2019
to approximately 184 days,
as the Division worked in the
latter half of 2019 to investigate
and resolve a substantial
backlog of Open Meeting Law
complaints from the preceding
12 months when the Division
experienced significant
staffing shortages,â€ wrote Carrie
Benedon, Assistant Attorney
General and the Director
of the Division of Open Government.
It
was the second consecutive
year that the resolution
time increased. And last year,
it nearly doubled from the
previous year. During 2018
the median complaint resolution
time was approximately
99 days, an increase over
2017 â€œlargely due to personnel
changes, vacancies, and
parental leave in a small division,â€
according to last yearâ€™s
report.
â€œWe will actively work to reduce
the complaint resolution
time in 2019 once our full
complement of staff is again
in place,â€ it continued.
Over the period of 2014
through 2017, the division
has been able to resolve most
complaints within 90 days.
The median complaint resolution
time in 2017 was about
67 days (a decrease from 77
days in 2016).
In a press release issued this
week about the divisionâ€™s annual
report, Attorney General
Maura Healey didnâ€™t mention
the whopping increase in
resolution time. â€œIn 2019, the
AGâ€™s Office received 324 new
OML complaints, issued 170
determination letters, and resolved
a historic total of 351
complaints,â€ the AG press release
noted.
â€œBy comparison, the Division
resolved 235 complaints
in 2018 and 249 complaints
in 2017.
â€œOur Division of Open Government
offers many resources
to help educate the public
about the Open Meeting Law
and its requirements,â€ said
AG Healey. â€œThis report demonstrates
the record amount
of work we did in 2019 to resolve
complaints and promote
good governance and
transparency across the state.â€
The AGâ€™s Division of Open
Government was created in
2010 to ensure a continued
and consistent focus on the
law by educating individuals
and public bodies about the
OML, enforcing the OML, and
acting as a readily accessible
resource for public bodies.
The most frequently occurring
OML violations in 2019:
â€¢ Insufficiently detailed
meeting notices
â€¢ Failure to approve meeting
minutes in a timely manner
â€¢ Failure to properly respond
to requests for meeting
minutes
â€¢ Convening in executive
session for an improper
purpose
â€¢ Failure to follow appropriate
procedures for entering
executive session
â€¢ The remedial actions most
frequently ordered by the
Division:
â€¢ Ensuring immediate and
future compliance with
the OML
â€¢ Creation or approval of
open session minutes
â€¢ Release or revision of executive
session minutes
â€¢ Attendance at a training
on the OML or review of
all or part of the AGâ€™s online
training video
The AGâ€™s Office also continued
to focus on education
to help ensure compliance
with the law, including
a monthly newsletter with
OML guidance, updates on
training opportunities, and
Division news to nearly 530
subscribers. The Division
also offered eight regional
in-person trainings on the
OML in towns throughout
the state and held 11 live
web-based trainings on the
law. The Division participated
in training events with
the Massachusetts Town
Clerks Association, the Massachusetts
Association of
School Committees and
Massachusetts Continuing
Legal Education, Inc. In 2019
the AGâ€™s OML hotline responded
by telephone and
email to nearly 2,000 inquiries
seeking guidance on the
requirements of the law.
Additional information and
resources about the OML can
be found on the AGâ€™s OML
website.

Alger aspect to it all; they persevered
and found their place.â€
The team moved to Fenway
Larry Eisenhauer
and the early
Patriots
By The Old Sachem
W
hen I noticed the passing
of one of the earliest Patriots,
Larry Conway Eisenhauer,
I decided to write a column
to acquaint current Pats fans to
an early star, but in researching
early Patriots situations I ran
into some humorous data on
the early teams.
But first Eisenhauer. He
played nine seasons for the
Pats from 1961 to 1969 and was
named four times as an AFL
All-Star. The early team was an
original member of the American
Football League in the days
before they joined the NFL. Larry
was named a three-time AFL
All-Pro and a member of the Patriotsâ€™
1960s All-Decade team.
Eisenhauer was born February
22, 1940, in Hicksville, N.Y.,
and died January 29, 2020, in
Jupiter, Fla.
Eisenhauer stood six-feet-five
and his playing weight was 258
pounds, which was quite suitable
for a defensive end in this
era. He attended Chaminade
High School in Mineola, N.Y.,
then was recruited into Boston
College, where he was an outstanding
defensive end. He was
inducted into the Boston College
Varsity Club Athletic Hall
of Fame in 1978. Eisenhauer
was selected by the Pats in the
1961 AFL draft, in round six as
the forty-second pick. During
his career he led the team in
sacks at 47.5, over 115 regular
season games and two playoff
games. Although I donâ€™t normally
include BC players (I prefer
BU athletes), Eisenhauer was
ASKS | from page 3
The principals and teachers
were all in favor of it and were
all very cooperative. They pretty
much went above and beyond
to help out. They wanted
the girls to do something special
for it.
Itâ€™s a worthwhile trip, the kind
you donâ€™t get to do too often.
Antarctica is like nothing else
you have ever seen. Itâ€™s a very
beautiful place and pictures really
donâ€™t do it justice.
When I was talking to the science
teacher â€“ here are the science
benefits. When I was talking
to the social studies teacher
â€“ I said here are the social studa
delight to watch; as I said in an
earlier column, I would get tickets
in Kenmore Square when
attending Boston University.
The AFL awarded the eighth
and final franchise to a Boston
business executive, Billy Sullivan,
and his partners, who included
his brother Joseph,
owner of the Sullivan Brothers
Printers, Dean Boylan of Boston
Sand & Gravel, Dom DiMaggio,
formerly of the Red Sox,
and seven others. They put up
$10,000 to capitalize the team.
As many of you know, the
early Pats did not have a field
of their own in the beginning
years. They played their home
games in Nickerson Field at BU
(Braves Field at the time), Harvard
Stadium, Boston College
Alumni Stadium, Fenway Park,
San Diego, Calif., and Birmingham,
Ala. The early tickets were
printed without listing the field
as it was subject to change
from time to time. They were
nomads in the early days like a
traveling circus.
There was quite a bit of comedy
in the early years. In a home
game against the Dallas Texans,
the Pats were leading 2821
and Dallas was down to the
one-yard line with time running
out. On fourth down the
Texans quarterback tossed a
pass to an uncovered end in
the end zone, and a person
described as wearing a trench
coat dashed in and batted
away the pass and saved the
Patriots game. In those days
many fans stood behind the
end zone and made noise and
waved to distract the oppoies
benefits.
We had extra luggage. The
bags were heavy because of
the textbooks the girls brought
from school.
There was plenty of time for
schoolwork. It was a day to get
from Boston to Santiago [Chile]
and a day to get back.
Q: Did you see many people
out there at sea?
A: We ran into a yacht with
about 20 people on it. They
were the only actual humans
we encountered before we hit
the research base.
It was the Club Med version
of seeing Antarctica. We didnâ€™t

nents. After the game it was
noted that the owner, Billy Sullivan,
was wearing a trench coat
similar to that described to the
interloper, but the fan disappeared
into the crowd before
anyone could positively identify
him.
A game at BC saw a fire develop
in the stands interrupting
the game, and the fans
ran out to the fifty-yard line
to escape the inferno. Other
games had power outages
and snowball fights, and
when the referees refused to
start the game before they
were paid. In another contest
an ex-player, Bob Gladieux,
was summoned from
the stands by the sound system,
dressed in a uniform and
made the tackle on the beginning
kickoff. They practiced
on a grassless high
school field. A first season
game drew only 8,446 fans,
and it was reported that most
of the tickets were given away
by local supermarkets. Richard
Johnson, curator of the Sports
Museum in Boston, said, â€œThere
were elements of Mel Brooks
mixed with Knute Rockne. The
Patriots were the underdog
team in an underdog league.
But there was also a Horatio
Park in 1963 and the players
were astounded by the quality
of the Red Sox dressing room.
A goalpost was planted on the
third base line, and the other
end was before the bleachers
in right field. A temporary
grandstand was put up before
the Green Monster, seating
5,000 fans. The team didnâ€™t
want fans blocked by the view
in the seats along the first base
line, and so both team benches
were in front of the Green Monster
field seats, which led to
many questions by the fans to
the players during the games.
Gino Cappelletti said, â€œThis led
to some crazy things. We could
wander near their bench and
eavesdrop on their play-calling.
I remember coach Hank Stram
calling for screen passes and
us yelling to our defense about
what was coming.â€ In another
game against the Kansas City
Chiefs, the Pats quarterback,
Babe Parilli, had thrown many
pass interceptions and was being
berated by Pats coach Mike
Holovak. Lennie St. James said
that Babe went over to the
Chiefsâ€™ end of the sideline to
get away from the abuse. Fans
often suggested plays to the
team which were dismissed
but caused laughter among
the players. When the Red Sox
were in the playoffs, the Pats
had to quickly change venues,
once playing their home game
in San Diego.
The daily practices usually
ended at 2 p.m. because the
players had to get to their other
jobs, such as car dealerships,
insurance offices or restaurants.
Linebacker Nick Buoniconti
rushed to Suffolk University
to earn his law school degree.
The players were paid $7,500 to
$11,000 annually, and the Patriots
withheld 25% of the salary
until the season ended to keep
them from leaving.
Things have certainly
changed from the first year
when the Pats finished in last
place. If you were around in
these early years you often
thought that the Patriots would
find another city with a stadium
that would stabilize the team,
but the owners plodded on,
and as we know the team ended
up in Foxboro. They started
out as a professional laughingstock
and advanced with
fan support to the Super Bowl
Champions we have idolized
today.

During the Finals, the Steam
22 other middle and elementary
schools to win both the
Teamwork Champion Award
and the Robot Skills Champion
Award. The team scored 107
and 114 points, respectively,
achieving record-breaking totals
for their region.
The Competition consists
of seven match play events
during which teams must use
their robots to complete specific
tasks within one minute.
Ten teams are paired together
to battle it out in the Final
rounds, one of which was the
Steam Punks Team.
Punks, with their partner team
from Hopkinton, were the last
team to compete and had to
top a record-breaking score in
order to claim the Teamwork
Champion Award. The Steam
Punks also earned the number
1 spot in the VEX IQ Southern
New England Skills rankings.
The team consists of seventh-grader
Matthew Chatterton
of Lynn, and eighth-graders
Sebastiano Dimodica of
Saugus, Matias W. Gebriel of
Saugus and McLaren Cook of
Wenham.
NSCSâ€™s elementary school
team, The Bros, were awarded
their second Judgeâ€™s Award
this season, which is a special
commendation for exemplary
effort and perseverance in the
face of unexpected setbacks
during the event and for design
and programming that
exemplifies the future of Engineering
and Robotics. The Bros
have earned the number one
skills ranking among the elementary
school teams in the
Southern New England region.
The Bros consist of fourthgraders
Nicholas Saia of Saugus,
Ralph Gerber of Peabody
and Gabriel Barbosa of Lynn
and fifth-grader Brendon Sharwood
of Saugus.

the Bros scored skills points
for programming their robots
to operate via remote control
and autonomously, a complicated
programming feat for
students new to this arena.
Coach David Cook notes â€œItâ€™s
amazing how the kidsâ€™ love of
math and science blossoms
when they get to apply it in
the real world. Itâ€™s particularly
powerful for students who
struggle with these subjects
in school to see for themselves
how much they can achieve.â€

State awards two public fire education
grants to Saugus Fire Department
S
augus is among 248 municipal
fire departments
that will receive nearly $2
million in grants to fund fire
safety programs geared toward
children and older adults
across Massachusetts. Saugus
will receive $4,565 for Student
Awareness of Fire Education
(SAFE) and $2,552 in Senior
SAFE grants.

have to go over any hostile terrain.
Q:
What did it cost?
A: It was expensive. It was
in the thousands, but it was
worth it.
Q: Whatâ€™s so special about
the conference?
A: This was the first technical
conference in Antarctica. One
of the speakers was eight years
old. One of the speakers was
one of the developers of GPS.
Q: Were there any harrowing
moments in the journey?
A: The storm that drove us off
the deck was pretty rough, and
there were 30-foot waves. I run
5K a day. I planned on running
tion to hundreds of thousands
of students in the Commonwealth,â€
said Governor Charlie
Baker. â€œThis program allows
firefighters and teachers to
work together to provide fire
and life safety education to
young people.â€
The average number of children
dying in fires annually has
dropped by 76 percent since
the SAFE program began. The
Senior SAFE program is in its
on the ship deck. I ran a couple
of times. And a lot of times
I did not because I didnâ€™t want
to be swept off the ship by a
big wave.
Q: Were there concerns
about icebergs or floating ice?
A: They picked up ice pilots
in Chile who are familiar with
the area. There were some areas
that were tight; some of
the passages were very narrow.
They donâ€™t do these cruises
in the area very often. They had
stopped doing them about 10
years ago, and as far as I know,
this is the second one since
they have restarted. Itâ€™s not
clear how long they will continue
doing them, as they are

sixth year, providing firefighters
with the funding to deliver
fire safety education to another
vulnerable population
â€“ seniors.
â€œHome visits, smoke and CO
alarm installations, and fire
safety presentations at senior
centers by firefighters with senior
agencies help older adults
develop strategies to stay safe
at home for longer,â€ said Lt.
Governor Karyn Polito.
State Fire Marshal Peter Ostroskey
said, â€œThe SAFE and
Senior SAFE programs are
successful because we have
trained firefighters who deliver
education to children and older
adults. The fire departments
being supported in these public
education efforts are increasing
the safety of the people
in their communities.â€
The SAFE program provides
$1.2 million through the Executive
Office of the Public Safety
and Security to local fire departments.
The Senior SAFE
program provides $600,000 in
grant funds from fees paid by
tobacco companies to the Fire
Standard Compliant Cigarette
Program to ensure their products
meet the fire safety requirements
to be sold in Massachusetts.
The programs are
administered by the stateâ€™s Department
of Fire Services.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE â€“ Friday, February 7, 2020
Open Meeting Law Violation
Minutes for the improper May 8, 2019, Executive Session of the Saugus School Committee
(Editorâ€™s Note: These are the
minutes of the May 8, 2019, Executive
Session held by the Saugus
School Committee, which
the state Attorney Generalâ€™s Division
of Open Government later
determined to be an illegal
meeting that was held without
a proper purpose. The Saugus
Advocate, which was among
several complaints alleging
the meeting violated the Open
Meeting Law, reprints the recently
released minutes of that
meeting as a public service to
its readers.)
Saugus School Committee
Executive Session
May 8, 2019
An executive session of the
Saugus School Committee
was held on this date at the
Roby School, School Committee
Room for the purpose of
clause 3, collective bargaining
with Custodial Union. The
meeting was called to order
at 7:30 AM.
Committee saluted the flag.
Mr. Magliozzi made a motion
to enter into executive session
for the purpose of collective
bargaining with the custodians
in accordance with M.G.L.
c.30A, sec 21 (a).
The chair Jeannie Meredith,
seconded the motion. Roll
Call: Ms. Gaieski present Mr.
Magliozzi present Ms. Marchese
present Ms. Meredith
present Ms. Morgante present.
Custodian Contract
Negotiations:
[Superintendent of Schools]
Dr. [David] DeRuosi reiterated
to the committee that:
1) We voted unanimously on
July 12, 2018 to direct the superintendent
to take immediate
steps to analyze effective
cost savings in the custodial
services budget line item.
2) That the superintendent
should take steps to analyze
and accomplish this goal immediately
whether by outsourcing,
job reductions or
other budgetary eliminations
with the goal to redirecting
potential savings to immediate
educational necessities by
the start of the school year or
when they become available
to further the goal of closing
the districts educational
achievement gap and increasing
student achievement. An
RFP went out and bids were
received.
Dr. DeRuosi updated the
committee that we have been
meeting with the Union for
Impact Bargaining sessions,
and the Department of Labor
Relations had helped us
schedule through a mediator,
as we had numerous canceled
meetings by the union. The
negotiating team has only received
one verbal proposal for
a settlement agreement with
the union at this time, they
continue to ask for documents
i.e.: RPF and proposals. They
stated that they need to see
the RFP and proposals before
they will make a written offer.
The superintendent and Attorney
Kevin Smith explain the
process and tell them we are
not in custody of those documents;
they need to file a FOIA
request through the procurement
office at the town hall.
We have another Impact Bargaining
session scheduled in
a couple weeks.
The committee inquired
as to the proposals and the
process. It was explained to
us by Dr. DeRuosi and Mark
Magliozzi.
Dr. DeRuosi and Ms. Andrews
sat on the review committee
and updated committee
on the company they
thought best met the needs
for Saugus Public Schools. We
were given the numbers and
what the savings would be to
the district.
Dr. DeRuosi presented a detailed
plan outlining exactly
how these savings would be
utilized to improve education
and close the achievement
gap in SPS.* See attached for
the complete plan.
The plan illustrated the
many benefits to the school
district with cost savings from
the privatization move.
Discussion included benefits
to the system financially.
Mr. Magliozzi calculated
and the superintendent affirmed
a baseline savings of
$615,472.00 will be added to
the school department.
FY20 Budget =1,225,472 +
20,000
Outsourced company cost
=$590,000
Total savings $615. 472 to
the school department for
night cleaning
Mark Magliozzi asked Ms.
Andrews to explain the numbers
again and reiterate what
the savings would be to the
District.
Ms. Andrews went over all
the numbers again.
The committee discussed
future custodial needs as the
district down sizes buildings,
current cleaning schedules
and responsibilities, the need
to focus budget funding on
the instructional needs of the
district, the potential of some
of these employees to be
hired by a cleaning company,
potential retirements within
the unit staff, the importance
of the student safety, and impact
bargaining. Dr. DeRuosi
explained to the committee
that it was in the RFP that SPS
Custodians had a right to apply
to the new cleaning company.
Ms.
Marchese asked if there
was any chance of letting
some of them go and keeping
some of them. With the
new school opening, we donâ€™t
need all of them.
Dr. DeRuosi reminded the
committee that you would
have to follow the current contract
language and seniority
would prevail. The time for
those discussions should have
taken place in regular negotiations.
Dr. DeRuosi and Ms
Meredith both explained Impact
Bargaining was different
from negotiations. Impact Bargaining,
being the negotiation
of terms that enhance the impact
of the outsourcing of the
custodial services at the end
of their employment. Negotiations
involved the agreement
to terms of a contract for employment.
The committee and
the union have agreed (Jan 25,
2019 MOA) to five dates to Impact
bargain. We are currently
in Impact Bargaining thatâ€™s
where we bargain any impacts
on the union as a result of the
privatization. Discussion ensued
on the breakdown of
impact bargaining due to the
unions repeated cancellation
of dates and repeated insistence
on documents we didnâ€™t
have in our possession.
Ms. Marchese stated that
she would like to see the RFP
and the bids.
Dr. DeRuosi explained that
we are not in possession of
those documents and she
would have to file a public records
request with the procurement
officer at the town
hall.
Ms. Marchese stated that
when she voted to outsource
the food service, she had access
to those documents.
Dr. DeRuosi stated he didnâ€™t
know what process they followed
with the food service
outsourcing, he was not here
for that. The privatization
took place with the prior Superintendent
and past school
committee members, Arthur
Grabowski and Peter Manoogian.
Mark
Magliozzi explained
the difference between an
open bid process and a sealed
proposal process.
Dr. DeRuosi reiterated what
Mark Magliozzi stated in regard
to the process. Dr DeRuosi
explained that the procurement
officer solicits the proposals
and appoints a reviewing
committee (which was Dr.
DeRuosi and Ms. Andrews).
The reviewing committee selects
the best proposal and
notifies the procurement officer
to form a contract with the
private company. During this
process the bids are sealed,
pursuant Mass Law and could
not be disclosed to the committee.
Ms.
Marchese asked if she
could have the name of the
company, so she could make
reference calls.
Dr. DeRuosi explained that
itâ€™s not in the purview of the
School committee to make
reference calls or participate
in contract negotiations with
this company. That is strictly
the role and responsibility of
the superintendent.
Lisa Morgante stated she
still had some unanswered
questions and concerns about
graduation set up.
The committee collectively
agreed that this plan presented
by Dr. DeRuosi was just
what the district needed and
we all thanked him and his administrative
team for all the
work that went into this.
Mark Magliozzi asked Dr.
DeRuosi how much time he
would need to roll this out.
Dr. DeRuosi said he could be
ready for first day of school.
Liz Marchese asked how we
could guarantee that this is
where the money would be
spent?
Liz Marchese asked if this
had to be voted today or could
we have more time to think
about it, she had reservations
about the savings being spent
as presented.
Jeannie Meredith stated
emphatically that she was prepared
to vote today. Jeannie
Meredith stated that the first
motion was made by Mrs. Marchese,
back when the committee
was first elected in 2017,
and it was to move in this direction,
and all four votes
since then have been unanimous
to move in this direction.
We voted unanimously
to end the custodial contract
in Feb, to end on June
30, 2019. We cannot afford to
wait any longer, itâ€™s not fair
to these employees and their
families, and they need to
plan accordingly. None of us
want to see anyone lose their
job; this is the hardest decision
in my life. But I was elected
to improve the education
for Saugus Public Schools,
For the last five years, I have
sat on a committee that had
to make cuts in order to give
salary increases and as a result
we were forced to make
cuts to balance the budget.
The cuts always come from
Teaching staff, educational
programming and raising user
fees. After receiving the news
about the Middle School being
ranked 8th lowest in the
state, I feel as though I owe
this to the children. I understand
that there is a lot of political
pressure, but I am standing
firm that I was elected to
be the voice of the children
and I am not ok with leaving
this district with lower scores.
I feel as though I am prepared
to vote this today.
Lisa Morgante stated that
she came to the meeting prepared
to vote one way today,
but after hearing Dr. DeRuosiâ€™s
plan to help the kidsâ€™ education,
she has totally changed
her mind. She made mention
of being very torn, because of
her daughter Janaâ€™s stance on
this, but felt compelled to be
a voice for the kids.
Mark Magliozzi also noted
that this was a very tough decision,
but thatâ€™s what we were
elected to do. He also feels terrible
for anybody that loses
their job, he has lived through
it and very compassionate towards
these men and women.
Mark is ready to vote today,
given the time frame needed
to notify employees and
implement education plan as
presented by superintendent.
Mrs. Gaieski also echoed
the same sentiments about
these men and women since
she had worked with many of
them over the years and considers
many of them friends.
This is not personal, itâ€™s about
educating children, and with
over 40 years in the business,
I cannot sit back and watch
these scores continue to decline.
Lisa
Morgante and Liz Marchese
asked a couple more
technical questions and Dr.
DeRuosi stated he would
have to iron those details out
once the contract is awarded
and he entered into negotiations.
Ms. Marchese asked
if that would be the school.
Mrs. Gaieski asked Dr. DeRuosi
to confirm that the savings
would be applied to his plan
presented today and fully implemented
at the start of the
school year. Dr. DeRuosi confirmed
that it would be.
Mrs. Gaieski motioned to:
Outsource the custodial duties
in the Saugus Public Schools
with a private cleaning company
due to the substantial
savings accrued that will be
applied to a multifaceted plan

They are very particular
that nothing from the ship gets
into the environment
Q: So, what about your experience
with the penguins?
A: In the Falklands, we got
to see them up close. The ones
we got close to were the Gentoo
penguins.
Q: How close?
A: You couldnâ€™t get too close
to them, because if you walked
toward them, they would walk
away. If you stayed still, they
would come closer. A lot of
times, they would gather in little
circles as if they were having
a conversation and talking
to each other.

teresting things?
A: We went around Elephant
Island. Thatâ€™s the place where
Shackleton â€“ one of the most
famous Antarctic explorers â€“
got stuck with his crew for 100
days. The island itself got the
name, probably, because it
used to be the abode of the Elephant
seals. Humans overhunted
them and there are no longer
any Elephant seals on Elephant
Island.
And thatâ€™s where we had a
fire in the ship. It took out one
of the generators. The Coral
Princess was somewhat crippled
by the loss of the generator,
but it wasnâ€™t something
that endangered the ship.
Q: Were there any potential
challenges that stood in the
way of this trip?

A: We got down to Cape
Horn, the tip of South America.
Once you pass that, youâ€™re
heading into the Drake Passage.
But we had to get permission
from the Chilean Navy
to pass into the Drake Passage.
They could always say â€œNo.â€ And
that would have ruined the
conference.
If the Chilean Navy thought
going down into Antarctic waters
would endanger the trip,
they would put the kibosh on it.
But we had some surprisingly
clear days in Antarctica. The
entire time away, we never saw
the night sky once. In South
America, there was too much
weather to actually see anything;
it was too cloudy. And
there was 24 hours of daylight
in Antarctica.

Q: Ten years from now, what
will you remember most about
this trip?
A: Probably different categories
of things. On one hand,
anyone who is nutty enough to
go on a conference on a ship in
Antarctica â€“ that is something
I wonâ€™t forget. We were all kindred
spirits. No matter where
we all came from â€“ from all over
the world â€“ we all got along. We
were all different ages, from different
countries and with different
customs. The youngest
was eight and he was a speaker.
And the oldest â€“ probably in
their early 60s. Going to a conference
at the end of the world
was odd. But for both of the
girls, it was a really good experience
for them.
Q: How does a trip like this

To qualify for the Headmasterâ€™s

scores of 90 and above in all

and to qualify for Second Honors,
students must have scores

widen your world, professional
career and your personal life?
What do you get out of it?
A: Itâ€™s been observed by
many before me that travel
broadens the mind, and itâ€™s
doubly true for participating
in a conference like this in Antarctica.
Through common interests
and a shared adventure,
all the AntarctiConf presenters
have become friends.
Weâ€™ll be going out of our way to
meet up again in future conferences
as well as work together
on future projects. As we have
dramatically different backgrounds,
we naturally have different
takes on things, and that
makes the prospects of future
collaborations all the more likeASKS

ly to be fruitful.
Q: You mentioned you wish
you would have spent more
time on certain parts of the
trip. Do you plan on a return
trip? What do you plan for an
encore?
A: Certainly not immediately,
but I wouldnâ€™t turn down
a future trip to Antarctica. Besides
seeing more of Antarctica
itself, Iâ€™d like to spend more
time in both Tierra del Fuego
and the Falkland Islands.
Various AntarctiConf speakers
have been tossing around
ideas for unusual places to
hold future tech conferences.
Nothing is concrete yet, and
even once such a thing were
settled upon itâ€™s important to
note that it can take over a year
to successfully organize such
an event. The logistics are a bit
more complicated than they

Lady Sachems knock
off Lynn English
By Greg Phipps
A
s the season progresses, the Saugus
High School girlsâ€™ basketball
team is looking more and more like a
serious postseason contender. After
defeating always-tough Lynn Classical
late last week, the Saugus girls did
one better Tuesday night by knocking
off Lynn English, 42-30, on the road
and improving to 12-3 on the season.
The Lady Sachems have gone 10-1
since opening the season at 2-2 and are
playing their best basketball as the regular
season begins to wind down. Saugusâ€™s
lone loss over the last 11 games
was a two-point setback at Marblehead
early last week. That game was the second
of a back-to-back.
On Tuesday, Molly Granara, who produced
a career-high 21 points
in last Fridaysâ€™ 59-48 win at
Classical, rose to the occasion
once again with 13 rebounds
and nine points. She
was followed by Taylor Bogdanski
with 12 points and six
rebounds, and Jessica Nazzaro
with nine points.
Saugus led, 20-16, at halftime
and increased the advantage
to 32-18 in the third
after Nazzaro drilled consecutive
three-pointers. The Lady
Sachems pulled ahead 13-9
after one quarter when Kiley
Ronan scored four points to
close out the period.
Head coach Mark Schruender
said the defense fueled the
teamâ€™s offense in the victory. â€œIt
was just the kids making plays.
Our defense led to offense. Kids
werenâ€™t hesitating. Their confidence
was great,â€ he told the
press after the win. â€œWe said in
the locker room, theyâ€™re going
to come out firing in the second
half so we have to bring
the intensity. We did.â€
Along with Granaraâ€™s 21
Senior Kiley Ronan had another strong allaround
effort in Saugusâ€™s huge win at Lynn
English on Tuesday. (Advocate Photo by Greg Phipps)
in the victory over Classical,
Bogdanski poured in 15 and
Shaylin Groark and Nazzaro
each added six in that contest.

on Thursday and host Winthrop

By Greg Phipps
T
hough this season has not been
a good one in terms of wins and
losses, the Saugus High School hockey
team has had several moments
it can hang its hat on for future reference.
Monday nightâ€™s close loss to
Pentucket at Kasabuski Arena is one
of those.
Goalie Jack Devereaux was once
again outstanding in net, making 35
saves, and Saugus made some noise offensively
by scoring four times. But that
wasnâ€™t enough, as the visitors grabbed
a 6-4 victory. The defeat dropped Saugusâ€™s
season record to 2-12-1.
Head coach Jeff Natalucci said their
errors that have cost the Sachems all
winter. â€œItâ€™s been the story for us all
season. We just make too many mistakes
out there, especially in our own
end,â€ he told the press after the game.
â€œWhen you give a team second and
third chances on a bunch of possessions,
theyâ€™re going to cash in. If you
turn the puck over in your own zone,
itâ€™s going to hurt you. We paid for every
mistake we made.â€
Saugus took a 3-2 lead in the second
period but couldnâ€™t see it through, as
Pentucket went on to outscore the Sachems,
4-1, over the remainder of the
contest. Jason Caron tallied twice for
Saugus while Lorenzo Keegan added
a goal and an assist. Freshman Dante
Mauro netted his first-ever varsity goal,
and Andrew Cipriano and Richie Mauro
each contributed an assist.
Deservedly so, Natalucci had high
praise for Devereauxâ€™s usual standout
effort in goal. â€œJack has been a rock for
us all year and it was no different today,â€
he said. â€œWe have to do a better job in
front of him. Just because heâ€™s capable
of making all those saves doesnâ€™t mean
we should make him have to.â€
The Sachems played Lynnfield on
Wednesday and host Watertown on
Saturday (scheduled 5:40 p.m. faceoff).

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE â€“ Friday, February 7, 2020
THE SOUNDS
OF SAUGUS By Mark Vogler
H
ere are a few tidbits that you might want to know about
this week in Saugus.
A â€œshout-outâ€ for Joe Vecchione and Robert Camuso
This weekâ€™s nomination comes from Doug and Linda Mellor:
â€œWe would like An Extra Shout Out for Town Meeting Members,
Joe Vecchione and Robert Camuso for all the time and work
they have put in to getting information out to the residents regarding
Caddy Farms LLC.
â€œIt is a good feeling knowing that elected town officials are
providing information and giving the residents a chance to express
their views.
â€œThank you.â€
Want to â€œshout-outâ€ a fellow Saugonian?
This is an opportunity for our paperâ€™s readers to single out â€“
in a brief mention â€“ remarkable acts or achievements by Saugus
residents or an act of kindness or a nice gesture. Just send
an email (mvoge@comcast.net) with the mention in the subject
line of â€œAn Extra Shout Out.â€ No more than a paragraph â€“ anything
longer might lend itself to a story and/or photo.
A project worth shouting about
How many Saugus Public Schools students can brag about
hanging out with a crowd of Gentoo penguins in the Falkland
Islands? Or staring at icebergs in turquoise-colored waters in
the Antarctic Peninsula?
Only two.
Ariana Brown, 16, a junior at Saugus High School, and her sister,
Rhianon, 12, a seventh grader at the Belmonte Middle School
â€“ the daughters of Eric W. and Nhung Pham Brown â€“ just got
back from a great educational adventure which is featured in
this weekâ€™s â€œThe Advocate Asks.â€ They were gone 16 days on a
journey that took them to places that nearly all of us can only
read about or see in television programs.
Their dad, Eric, was responsible for instigating the trip, which
he also participated in. But you also have to tip your hat to Saugus
Public Schools Superintendent Dr. David DeRuosi, Jr. and the
principals at Belmonte Middle School and Saugus High School
for giving their support to this trip. Without the superintendentâ€™s
approval, it doesnâ€™t happen.
Iâ€™m sure Ariana and Rhianon are going to have some great stories
to share with their classmates. And the various organizations
in town ought to be inviting their dad to give a talk and photographic
presentation once he organizes several thousand photos
he took during the trip. I got to spend a good part of Super
Bowl Sunday â€“ maybe six hours â€“ looking at some of those photos
and hearing some of the stories from Eric and Rhianon. I later
communicated in emails with Ariana.
I understand that Ariana is going to prepare a travelogue in
Latin as one of her school projects. What a great project, which
should benefit Saugus Public Schools immensely.
A time for citizen input
Saugus residents who believe they have the answers for
straightening out Town Hall have a chance to sound off to an
audience of Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree and the Board of
Selectmen at a workshop session set for 6 p.m., March 3 in the
first floor conference room at Saugus Town Hall.
â€œWeâ€™re hoping that a lot of the public gets involved and gives
input,â€ Board of Selectmen Vice Chair Corinne Riley said at Tuesday
nightâ€™s board meeting. â€œWe hope to have a lot of people
there to let us know what you think.â€
Residents who attend the workshop will be able to comment
on what the town manager and selectmen recommend as top
goals and projects. Here is a chance for citizens to chime in on
what they see as to the future of Saugus.
Should selectmen be meeting on primary night?
Ever since the Board of Selectmen embraced Selectman
Corinne Rileyâ€™s idea for a workshop to seek public input on goals
for the town, we have done our part to promote the meeting.
When selectmen scheduled the workshop for March 3, it didnâ€™t
register that it fell on the day of the Massachusetts Presidential
Primary. Iâ€™m not sure that selectmen thought about that either
when they set the date.
But Ellen Santosuosso, who will be working the polls that day
from 2 p.m., wrote to tell us this week that she thought it was

â€œpoor planning.â€ â€œWhy would this open workshop be scheduled
the same day as primary elections??â€ Ellen wrote to us this week.
Well, Ellen raises a good point. And the other town residents
who are scheduled to work the polls that night also wonâ€™t be
able to be heard from. Perhaps
it might be good for selectmen
to reschedule the workshop to
another night.

Have we no faith?
A couple of years ago, we introduced the weekly feature â€œSaugus
Faith Notesâ€ in an effort to let our readers know of various
community events sponsored by the townâ€™s churches and faith
organizations. Itâ€™s a free service.
But itâ€™s been months since we ran the column because we have
no submissions. Surely, there are events going on at churches
and houses of faith throughout town that would be of interest
to newcomers and longtime Saugonians alike.
A couple of years ago, at the invitation of Rev. Martha Leahy
of Saugus First Congregational Church UCC, I attended a meeting
of the Saugus Faith Community held at St. Johnâ€™s Episcopal
Church. I introduced â€œSaugus Faith Notesâ€ at that point and also
invited members of the townâ€™s faith community to submit a short
â€œSermon of the Weekâ€ on a rotating basis.
And if a churchâ€™s pastor was
too busy to participate, the pastor
could have another member
of the church submit a column.
There were no takers, although I
did manage to interview about
five members of the Saugus
Faith Community for our feature
â€œThe Advocate Asks.â€
At one point, I had plans of
introducing a Faith page, similar
to what I did when I was editor
of The Nantucket Beacon
back in the early to mid-1990â€™s.
During my three years on Nantucket,
I managed to recruit 14
members of the islandâ€™s interfaith
council representing 13
churches or houses of worship.
Every single one wanted to participate
in the writer rotation by
sharing a short sermon.
It was during those three
years that I noticed the faith
community was a very important
part of Nantucketâ€™s makeup.
A powerful force of good
in the community. When challenges
came up, they rallied to
support people in the community
who needed help.
I know a lot of that goes on
in Saugus today as Iâ€™ve seen
members of the faith community
working behind the scenes
to get things done individually.
But, collectively, thereâ€™s no telling
how much more effective
they could be.
Iâ€™ve been told that one of
the key reasons why the Saugus
Faith Community isnâ€™t as
organized and as active is because
many of the pastors are
part-time and donâ€™t live in Saugus.
That may be true. But that
shouldnâ€™t be a barrier to making
the Saugus Faith Community
a more valuable component
of the community, a greater
force for good.
Since the departure of Rev.
Martha of First Congregational
and Rev. Sarah van Gulden
of St. Johnâ€™s, Iâ€™ve noticed a great
void. It would be great for Saugus
if members of the Saugus
Faith Community stepped up to
fill that void. For they should be
the heart and soul of the community.
Letâ€™s
hear it!
Got an idea, passing thought
or gripe you would like to share
with The Saugus Advocate? Iâ€™m
always interested in your feedback.
Itâ€™s been close to four
years since I began work at The
Saugus Advocate. Iâ€™m always
interested in hearing readersâ€™
suggestions for possible stories
or good candidates for â€œThe
Advocate Asksâ€ 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 15to
20-minute interview at a local
coffee shop. And Iâ€™ll buy the
coffee.

Saugus boys pull off win over Rams
By Greg Phipps
W
inning two straight
Northeastern Conference
games coming into last
Fridayâ€™s game against the Lynn
Classical Rams seemed to set
the stage for the Saugus High
School boysâ€™ basketball team,
as the Sachems pulled off an
exciting 72-65 league win over
the Rams last Friday night at
John Towers Gymnasium.
It was the third straight conference
victory for the Sachems,
who saw that streak
come to an end on Tuesday
against Lynn English. But last
Fridayâ€™s affair was one of the
more memorable victories
for the Saugus boys in recent
years. Trailing by as many as
12 points in the third quarter,
the Sachems battled back with
some clutch shooting from the
field by Christian Correia, Myles
Manalaysay and Joe Lusso, as
well as some solid work from
the foul line to draw even at 60
apiece in the fourth.
From there, the Sachems
would outscore the visitors
12-5 and come away with a
huge win. Four Saugus players
finished in double figures.
Correia was at the head of the
list with 20 points, followed by
Manalaysay with 17, Lusso with
14 and Mason Nickolas with 13.
Head coach Mark Bertrand
was understandably pleased
when it ended. â€œThis is my third
year as head coach, and this is
probably the biggest win in
that time at Saugus,â€ he told the
press afterward. â€œ[The Rams]
have a great staff...and I give
them credit; they came right

WIN OVER RAMS | from page 16
back at us and never gave up.
But my guys, their backs were
against the wall, they were
down and they stepped up
and hit big shots and big free
throws.â€
The Sachems have already
qualified for the playoffs, and
three straight impressive conference
wins over Danvers,
Marblehead and Classical
only make their chances in the
tournament more promising.
The win streak hit a bit of
a sobering note on Tuesday
when powerful and topranked
Lynn English visited
Saugus and ended up rolling
to a 90-40 victory. Manalaysay
did net 17 points and colIS

The Saugus
Real Estate Listings are
brought to you by:
lect four rebounds, and Correia
added nine points, but
the game was determined
fairly early when English entered
halftime owning a 4421
bulge. The Sachems never
challenged after that.
â€œThereâ€™s a reason why [Lynn
English is] the number one
team in the state,â€ Bertrand
told the press after Tuesdayâ€™s
game. â€œThey really make you
work for everything. Theyâ€™re
a well-coached group and a
very talented group, and that
combination is tough to beat.
But our guys fought hard the
whole game and never gave
in.â€
Sitting at 6-10 overall after
Tuesdayâ€™s loss, the Sachems
donâ€™t see action again until
Monday when they travel to
take on Winthrop.
