“Only about four percent of all of the kids who join scouting become Eagles,” Kane said in an interview last week as he relaxed at Camp Nihan. Members of Boy Scout Troop 62 and Cub Scout

Pack 62 were enjoying a cookout and awards night.

“When you earn the Eagle Scout award, you definitely earn it – especially in our troop,” Kane said.

“The last Eagle Scout I had was in 2014, so to have two in one year – that’s pretty special.

And I’m very proud of these two kids and what they have accomplished,” he said.

Kane, who earned his Eagle badge in 1992, was referring to future Eagles: • Joshua Francis Whiting, 18, who will receive his award at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor set for 2 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday, July 8) at Cliftondale Congregational Church (50 Essex St., Saugus).

• Philip G. Duffy III, 17, only has to earn one more merit badge and pass his Eagle Scout Board of Review – final requirements that he expects to complete this month – before his 18th birthday (July 13).

There have been 27 Eagles during the 49-year history of Troop 62, according to a list provided by Kane.

“I and … two of my three brothers made Eagle. The one who didn’t, made life [the rank before Eagle]. So, for me and the rest of our troop, this is special,” he said.

Kane lauded both scouts for completing “outstanding”

Last day on the job Popular Library Director Brian Hodgdon resigns, effective today, to accept Salem position; search for replacement underway

A FUN JOB WHILE IT LASTED: Saugus Public Library Director Brian Hodgdon looks back on a night last December – when he dressed up as a conductor to give children their tickets for “The Polar Express” – as a fun night in his short career in Saugus, which ends today. Hodgdon recently resigned after about 14 months to accept an assistant library director’s job at the Salem Public Library. Here he welcomes four-year-old Tyler Pereira, one of about 50 children at the special holiday story time that focused on a magical train ride to the North Pole. (Saugus Advocate file photo by Mark E.

he Saugus Public Library will have to find somebody else to dress up as a conductor for “The Polar Express” when it holds its holiday story time for kids in December.

Brian Hodgdon – the library’s popular director – won’t be around to play that role. Today was scheduled as his last day of work after just 14 months on the job.

Hodgdon, 36, of Salem, has resigned to accept a position as assistant library director at the Salem Public Library. He will begin that job on July 17.

“I’m looking forward to working closer to home!” Hodgdon told The Saugus Advocate this

Eagle Scout service projects, which were part of the requirements they needed to complete along with earning 21 merit badges. Eagle Scouts are part of a proud legacy of a troop that will observe the 50th year of its current charter next February, according to Kane.

“Our troop takes earning the rank of Eagle Scout very seriously. Scouts that earn their rank with us truly deserve it – and in my opinion, they are the best of the best,” Kane said.

“When I earned my Eagle Scout, I worked very hard for it, and my former scoutmaster Robert Glassett, who is also on the list, earned his as well and always pushed to have us be the best of the best,” Kane said.

“Ken Barnes, one of my former scoutmasters, is still calling me, asking how the troop is

doing. And although he is now in his 80s, he still cares about the troop. Ken Barnes was the one I took over scoutmaster from 21 years ago,” he said.

Enhancing the “Rail Trail” Whiting, a recent Saugus High School graduate, led a group of fellow scouts and friends on his service project – routing mileage points and signs, the installation of town signage and cleanup along the 2.5-mile Saugus segment of the Northern Strand Community Trail. “We put up 14 markers – one for every two-tenths of a mile,” said Whiting, who plans to attend Emerson College in the fall, where he will concentrate his study on Theatre and Performing Arts.

There were also posts set up to mark every mile within the Saugus part of the “Rail-Trail,”

AN EAGLE TO BE HONORED: Future Eagle Scout Joshua Francis Whiting, right, enjoyed a cookout last week for members of Saugus Boy Scout Troop 62 and Cub Scout Pack 62 at Camp Nihan. With Whiting is longtime Troop 62 Scoutmaster John Kane, a past recipient of scouting’s highest honor. A Court of Honor is scheduled for 2 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday, July 8) at Cliftondale Congregational Church (50 Essex St., Saugus) to honor the new Eagle Scout.

a continuous 7.5-mile stretch through Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus. The trail, spearheaded by Bike to the Sea, Inc., has been under development since 1993.

By setting up the signs, Whiting and the other volunteers contributed to the betterment of public safety, according to his scoutmaster. “In case there is an emergency along the trail, it gives the police and fire departments a specific location of where they need to go,” Kane said.

“This was a well-coordinated project. He [Whiting] had to meet with Dig Safe people to locate underground hazards so they were able to place the signs safely. There is a high pressure gas line along the trail,” the scoutmaster said.

Whiting credited his mother for suggesting the idea for his project several years ago.

“I originally turned it down because I didn’t think it was that good,” Whiting said. “But,

Whiting said he hopes his college education leads to a career as an actor. He also has an interest in writing, he said.

Duffy’s Eagle service project involved his troop collaborating with the GE Lynn Veterans Council to collect supplies – certain foods and snacks, personal hygiene products and miscellaneous items – for American troops overseas.

Trustees about five weeks ago that he was leaving, according to the board’s chair, Debra Dion-Faust. “Brian said to us that he couldn’t turn it down – that he had a chance of advancing to a directorship. The staff [of the Salem Public Libraries] is three times what it is here,” Dion-Faust said in an interview this week.

“He does live in Salem. He’ll be making as much money and he can walk to work. To lose the commute and cost of fuel is no small thing … We’re aware that Saugus is a community that doesn’t pay a lot for a library director,” she said.

The library director’s salary in the budget approved at the

Annual Town Meeting for the 2018 fiscal year that began July 1 is close to $66,000. Hodgdon wouldn’t elaborate on his decision to accept the position at the Salem Public Library, other than the short commute from his house and the fact that he applied to the City of Salem before Saugus hired him.

“A very good library director” Dion-Faust declared that the town got more than its money’s worth for what it paid Hodgdon to run the library operations. “He’s been a very good library director. It took us a year to find somebody we thought was a viable can-

didate,” Dion-Faust said.

“It was good that we kind of took a chance on a younger man who had some experience rather than go with another middle-aged woman. …

We’re sorry to see him go, he’s been very good. And he’s been a very good role model for teen and tweens,” she said.

Dion-Faust credited Hodgdon for making the transition to the next director easier. Mary O’Connell, head of the reference department at the library, who served as interim director during the search that led to Hodgdon’s hiring, will assume the interim position again. “Our hope is we will not have an interim director for a year or more this time,” DionFaust said.

Finding a replacement within several weeks to a few months is “a real possibility,” she said, noting that Hodgdon was “instrumental in helping to get the job posted” and helping to get candidates applying during a short period. Hodgdon posted the job about two weeks ago.

“By Monday afternoon, we had our first application. We have [had] a total of seven applications come in,” Dion-Faust said.

dates are qualified or soon to be qualified. The interviewing process has already begun, with one of the candidates scheduled to be interviewed yesterday afternoon and another one scheduled to meet with trustees this morning.

The board has the option of selecting from those two Massachusetts candidates or of opening up the field to other candidates. In that case, two candidates from Connecticut might be invited to interviews later this month, Dion-Faust said. It all depends what the trustees decide and how far they want to go in their candidates search, she said.

“We could fill the position before the fall. That’s a realistic hope. We’ll know better after we interview the first two candidates,” Dion-Faust said.

Of the seven candidates who have applied so far, two probably couldn’t be hired because of the lack of qualifications, she said.

Hodgdon is a native of Brattleboro, Vt. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Vermont (2003) and his Masters in Library Science degree from Simmons College (2010). Before coming to Saugus, he worked Interviews began this as the reference librarian at week the Public Library of BrookAt least four of the candi- line, Mass. (2012-2016). Prior

to that, he worked as director of the Windsor Public Library in Windsor, Vt. (2011-12).

“Hopefully, the year he had with us has increased his skill set as well as his resume …

People are pleased for him. It’s going to make his life easier.

But it’s tough for Saugus to lose him … We got luckier than we had any right to be on what we expected when we hired him.

He was good for the library.

We’re sorry to lose him and we wish him well,” Dion-Faust said.

The New Friends of Saugus Public Library held a reception in the Community Room of the library Wednesday. “It was a nice way of letting him know they care about him as a person,” Dion-Faust said.

Accomplishments cited Dion-Faust said the best things to happen during Hodgdon’s time here as library director was the makeover of the library’s website. “The library website has been updated and [is] one of the best ones around,” Dion-Faust said. Among the other accomplishments she cited: • Library usage of books and media increased over the previous year.

• Hodgdon turned out to be “very organized,” including his development of an em-

ployee schedule that worked well for the library.

• He was able to budget “very well,” making use of money from the state library board. And he also got help from the New Friends of the Saugus Public Library and

the Foundation for the Saugus Public Library.

• Replacing all of the computers in the library for the public and the staff computers. In addition, several technological aids were added to improve the library expe-

rience.

• Getting the air conditioning system fixed.

• Developing a “non-intrusive security system” that was effective and cost-efficient. “He opted not to have many cameras. Instead, he had rounded mirrors and four cameras installed at four dif-

ferent doors.”

• Helping to build good morale among library staff. “He worked the desk when there was a need to work the desk and he did it with a smile.”

Hodgdon cited similar accomplishments, but suggested it was “a team effort.” “We took some good steps forward technology-

“It was a short tenure, but we got a lot done. The place is in good shape for the new leaders. We couldn’t do it without the two groups,” he said, referring to the support of the Friends and the Foundation.

EXPECTATIONS | from page 3 was titled “Can you help our active troops? Our troops need more supplies,” which listed about 90 specific items that people could donate.

“We had an entire gym filled up at the Cliftondale Congregational Church … This was a massive and well-coordinated project that definitely was a great cause. It showed Saugus really cares about its military people overseas. This one definitely benefited the community,” Kane said.

Duffy’s project went so well that he ended up going back to pick up additional donations of supplies. He also requested help from Boy Scout Troop 88 in Peabody in the collection of supplies, Kane noted. A member of the GE Lynn Veterans Council was so grateful for Duffy’s efforts and the project’s success that he gave the scout a “GE Challenge Coin” as a token of his appreciation.

Duffy, who graduated from Granite State Arts Academy in Salem, N.H., said he plans to go to Manchester (N.H.) Community College in the fall to study graphic design.

becoming an Eagle means for him. “It gave me a lot of skills that I wouldn’t otherwise have … And it made me become every bit of the leader that I am today,” Whiting said.

The efforts of Whiting and Duffy serve as an inspiration to some of the gung ho Cub Scouts of Pack 62.

“I’m going to become an Eagle one day,” declared Jake D’Eon, 10, one of the ambitious Cub Scouts that showed up to Camp Nihan on Tuesday night.

Jake is getting plenty of encouragement from his mother – Saugus Selectman Jennifer D’Eon, who is also one of the pack’s adult leaders.

Skills of a lifetime Both Whiting and Duffy call their scouting experience – particularly their respective pursuits of the Eagle rank – career-defining as they ponder their futures.

“Working toward Eagle has definitely helped me with my leadership skills … It helped me learn a lot of skills that will help me the rest of my life,” Duffy said.

Whiting noted similar benefits, as he looked back on what

An interview with Brandon and Miryam Allison, a Texas couple who consider TrueVine Church their purpose for settling in Saugus Editor’s Note: For this week’s interview, we sat down with Brandon and Miryam Allison, natives of Odessa, Texas – home of the Permian High School Panthers, the subject of the 2004 movie “Friday Night Lights” and the 1990 book on which the film was based.

They both graduated from Permian High School. They are also the leaders of TrueVine Church, which they initially founded in Revere and then moved to Saugus in September 2014. In January of last year, the church formed the group called Saugus Community Events,

which holds free events monthly in Saugus.

Brandon, 31, is lead teaching pastor of the church. He received his B.A. in Math and Kinesiology from the University of Texas at the Permian Basin (2008) and his Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (2011) and is currently working on his Ph.D. in biblical studies.

Miryam, 30, is in charge of the Kids & Women’s Ministry at the church. She received her B.A. in Special Education/Child and Family Studies from the University of

Texas at the Permian Basin (2009).

She has worked as a special education teacher. She coaches gymnastics at the Saugus YMCA. The couple married in 2008 and have a three-year-old daughter, Charis. Last December they bought a ranch-style house on Main Street. TrueVine Church holds Sunday (11:30 a.m.) services in St. John’s Episcopal Church (8 Prospect St., Saugus).

Some highlights of this week’s interview follow.

How does a couple from Texas – that hails from West Texas – wind up in Saugus, Massachusetts?

Brandon: We just wanted to come here. We ended up helping another church in the beginning, then we just wanted to be a part of a community and building community, and through that church we ended up just having a desire to start a church and just spread the love of Jesus.

Q: And you are both from Odessa, Texas, home of the Permian Panthers – home of the “Friday Night Lights”?

Miryam: Yes sir!

Q: The high school football team that became famous because of the book, the movie and the TV series?

Miryam: Yes. We went to all of the games. Everyone does.

Q: You played football on that team?

Brandon: I did. I played football. I was an outside linebacker.

Q: And you played the year that that movie (“Friday Night Lights”) came out?

Brandon: Yes, my senior year was the year that the movie was filmed.

Q: So, that must be a great conversation piece when the movie is on and you’re in some friend’s house.

Brandon: Yes! Absolutely.

Q: Were you a cheerleader there?

Miryam: I didn’t cheerlead in high school. I did gymnastics in high school. I was a cheerleader for the college in Odessa, though.

Q: Is this your first church?

Brandon: First church here?

We helped start a church in Revere. And once we moved here, we started the church in our home.

Q: How many years now in Saugus?

Brandon: The church has been in Saugus … In September, it will be three years.

Q: Okay. You have lived in Saugus for how long?

Brandon: We have lived in Saugus since January of this year, after we bought a house.

Q: Okay. Why Saugus? You started the church before you moved to town. Right?

Brandon: That’s correct. And, honestly, we just love the town.

We love being in it. We were traveling from Revere almost every day to Saugus. We just fell in love with the town and we fell in love with the people. And this is where we wanted to be and this is where we are going to be for a long time.

Q: So, when you moved from Texas, you landed in Revere first.

Miryam: Yes, but we were helping a church that was in Saugus – Celebration Church.

That’s the church we helped the first year. They are in Charlestown now.

Q: Okay. So what brought you to Massachusetts from West Texas?

Brandon: We started at the Seminarian (Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Tex.) in 2011, and we just started praying where God was leading us, and we ended up meeting a pastor in this area.

And that was at Celebration Church. And from there, God just started to give us a love and passion for this area – for the people – and we knew that this was where we wanted to be before we moved.

Q: Now, will you eventually build a church in Saugus? Or will you continue to use St. John’s Episcopal Church?

Brandon: We don’t have any

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, July 7, 2017

ASKS | from page 6 plans right now to do that [build their own church]. You know, anything can happen. But, right now, we’re just enjoying being a part of the community.

Q: Now, how did Saugus Community Events evolve?

Brandon: We just wanted to provide the community free activities – free things to do, really, for kids and families – to kind of build community in the town.

We just want to be a part of that.

With Saugus Community Events, there’s no teaching of the Bible.

There’s none of those things. It’s just solely for the town – to be able to come together for a free event – for children and families to enjoy.

Q: So, how long has Saugus Community Events been going on?

Brandon: Since January of 2016.

Miryam: It’s been a huge thing for our church to connect with families that maybe wouldn’t come to church at this point. But they can come to a community event and get to know a lot of people that way.

I love it.

Q: And, every month, you hold some event for free?

Miryam: Yes. Every single month, we have at least one free event.

Q: So, I guess you work closely with Park & Rec? Miryam: We do. We work closely with Youth and Rec. They’ve been a huge help to us.

Q: How so?

Brandon: They’ve just been a blessing. They have just kind of helped us to know some more about the town. If we have some questions about the town, we usually go there. And they have always been so helpful. They’ve been incredible.

Q: What’s been the biggest event that you have had to date?

Miryam: Like most people?

Probably Rollerworld – renting out Rollerworld and having the community come for free – that one was really big.

Q: What, about 150 people?

Brandon: It was about 150.

Yes. And then right after Rollerworld, we invited them to come back to the church for pizza and a movie, and I think we had 85 to 90 at the church for pizza and a movie.

Q: Now, did you do the Fourth of July party for last year?

Brandon: We did not. This is the first year [free July 4 party].

Miryam: We’re excited about that. It’s going to be a lot of fun.

Q: So, you hope to get 200 people to show up?

Miryam: I’d love that. We’re ready!

Brandon: That would be awesome. We’ll do whatever

we need to do to accommodate them with food and everything else.

Q: Other than your Fourth of July outing, nothing much is really going on in town that’s open to all town residents.

Miryam: Yes. Not that I know of.

Brandon: We just wanted to offer something fun for people.

Q: Do people ask you a lot of questions about where you come from?

Brandon: Just “Why Saugus from Texas”–type of questions.

Q: I guess you got the same questions in Revere.

Brandon: Oh, absolutely.

Q: Now, once they find out you are from Odessa, Texas, does the question come up about“Friday Night Lights”?

Miryam: Sometimes, but not many people ask about that.

Brandon: Not usually.

Q: But I would think with a lot of sports people in town, the question would come up and be a good conversation piece.

Miryam: Yes, sometimes it is, for sure.

Q: How many people are associated with the Saugus Community Events?

Miryam: Like, volunteers who are helping us, or people from the community who come to the events?

Q: Both.

Brandon: Volunteers from

Brandon: Yes. That’s correct.

Q: So, it’s been growing since you got started?

Miryam: Oh yeah. It started with just our family.

Q: So, your denomination is Southern Baptist?

Brandon: It’s also called Great

Q: So, you both spent a lot of time in Saugus before you moved to Saugus?

Miryam: Oh yes. I worked at the Y … and the SAL [Saugus Athletic League] events, and we were hanging out at the Youth and Rec and trying to help them out – and just being encouraged by them – they have been a huge encouragement.

Q: So, what has made the deepest impression on you regarding Saugus?

Miryam: The people. The people are awesome. I love them.

Brandon: Yes, we love the town. We’ve loved the leadership of the town. And she [threeyear-old Charis, their daughter] is going to be going to school in the town now, probably starting in a couple of years. So, yeah, just the people that we’ve come in contact with – they have been great.

“Smash and go crime” Police continue to investigate vandals’ attack on Saugus High School that left more than two dozen broken windows last Friday

By Mark E. Vogler

A

week has passed since vandals smashed more than two dozen windows at the Saugus High School. No one has yet been charged in

connection with the vandalism that police responded to at 6:25 a.m. on June 30 at the high school. But Saugus police are still looking for help in solving a crime that caused an estimated $10,000 in property

damage. Police Lt. Ronald Giorgetti said he believes that incident may have been the worst case of vandalism at the school in recent memory.

A camera at the Saugus TV studio, which is located at the high school, appeared to capture two suspects moving behind a small broken window at the studio. But it did not appear

clear enough to make an identification. “It appeared two suspects arrived at the window at around 2:31 a.m.,” Saugus TV Executive Director Bryan Nadeau said in an interview this week.

“This was just a ‘smash and go’ crime. They didn’t go all the way into the building. And my alarm didn’t go off,” Nadeau said.

Town workers spent much

of Friday cleaning up shattered glass and replacing the windows. “All hands were on deck, working to clean it all up,” Nadeau said.

Police have asked anyone who believes they may have information about the crime to call the Saugus Police Department’s anonymous tip line at 617-2314037.

ments. The Gaming Law states that MGC will issue funds to assist host and surrounding communities “including, but not limited to, communities and water and sewer districts in the vicinity of a gaming establishment, local and regional education, transportation, infrastructure, housing, environmental issues and public safety, including the office of the county district attorney, police, fire, and emergency services.” MGC may also distribute funds to a governmental entity or district other than a single municipality in order to implement a mitigation measure that affects more than one community.

The City of Revere and the Town of Saugus were awarded a grant of $150,000 that will

provide funding for a shared transportation planner to help the two communities plan to address casino-related transportation issues. This innovative sub-regional cooperative effort is designed to help the two communities focus on achievable transportation improvement projects involving roadways that might be impacted by Wynn Boston Harbor casino-related traffic.

‘He is dangerous’ Judge orders juvenile suspect in Square One Mall gun theft confined to home

By Mark E. Vogler

A

Lynn Distr ic t Cour t judge has determined an Everett teen linked to last month’s gun theft at Square One Mall in Saugus as “dangerous.”

“He was found dangerous and ordered confined to his home with GPS monitoring bracelet,” said Carrie Kimball Monahan, Director of Communications for the Essex District Attorney’s Office.

Police have not identified the 16-year-old suspect because he is a juvenile. However, the name of the suspect involved could become public.

“There is a possibility that he could be indicted as a youthful offender, which would make him subject to ‘adult’ sentencing … That is separate from the dangerous finding and has to do with

the nature of his offense,” Kimball Monahan said.

The youth was charged with breaking and entering in the nighttime for a felony; with wanton destruction of property of over $250; with larceny of a firearm; with carrying a firearm without a license; and with possession of ammunition without an FID card in connection with the June 19 incident.

Saugus Police received a burglar alarm for Dick’s Sporting Goods at about 4:20 a.m. that day. An officer arrived quickly and observed a smashed window and evidence of a break-in. He soon observed a male suspect in possession of a long gun, Saugus Police said. The officer requested backup, and a mutual aid system was activated under the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council, also

known as NEMLEC, which sent a SWAT Team, a mobile communications vehicle and several officers to assist.

The NEMLEC Swat Team and Police K-9 units from across the region responded, but police couldn’t locate the suspect. After reviewing surveillance footage later in the morning, it was determined that the suspect escaped through a side door shortly after the first officer arrived.

From reviewing the surveillance film, police identified the suspect in Everett and arrested him without incident at about 11:30 a.m. on Monday (June 19).

The bolt-action rifle, which Saugus Police confirmed was part of the store’s inventory, was located in a wooded area near the Square One Mall early Monday evening. Other evidence of the break-in and burglary was also recovered.

igate any unintended consequences that potentially correlate with the arrival of casinos,” said MGC Chairman Steve Crosby. “This is only the begin-

A Community Mitigation review team conducted a com-

The aftermath of a fatal collision between a dirt bike and SUV last Saturday.

the dirt bike was unregistered and the driver – Benjamin Fagundo – did not possess a motorcycle license.

The crash occurred at the intersection of Jefferson and Newcomb Avenues at about 8:19 p.m., according to Saugus police.

After arriving at the accident scene, officers determined that the dirt bike had collided with a Nissan Pathfinder. Fagundo was transported to an area hospital and later pronounced dead.

The Pathfinder had three occupants, including two young children who were transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Pathfinder was not hurt.

Saugus police are continuing their investigation, joined by the state police accident reconstruction unit.

The Ninety Nine celebrates Sachem football Some big doings are in the works for this coming Thursday (July 13) at The Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub located at 181 Broadway, Route 1 in Saugus. A salute to Sachem pride will be part of “The Grand Re-Opening Celebration” that will begin at 5 p.m., according to company press releases that were burning up my email this week. “As part of the Grand Re-Opening celebration, the Ninety Nine will host a ribbon cutting ceremony, and offer prizes for guests as they enjoy appetizer sampling. In addition to the festivities, $1,000 will be donated to the Saugus High School Football Parents Association.”

“We’re proud Ninety Nine Restaurants is passionate about the community in which we operate,” said Joanie Baldassari, General Managing Partner of the Saugus Ninety Nine. “As we celebrate our Grand Re-Opening here in Saugus, we’re thrilled to share a donation with the Saugus High School Football Parents Association. We look forward to continuing to support this organization and with the help of our guests and team members and know this will be a fun and successful Grand Re-Opening event.”

Keep in mind that the Ninety Nine will be closed for renovations Monday (July 10) through Wednesday (July 12), then it will re-open on Thursday (July 13) at 4:00 p.m. – an hour before the Grand ReOpening Event.

“The exterior and interior will feature vibrant new colors, and the interior will have new flooring and carpeting, and décor that highlights the Saugus community,” according to the press release. “The popular bar area will undergo an even more extensive renovation which will include expanding the ceiling height, additional seating, new barstools, and a brand new mahogany wooden bar top.

All of the bar updates will compliment brand new flat screen televisions perfect for watching the game and creating an even more energetic and lively atmosphere for guests.”

So how is the restaurant going to capture the essence of Saugus?

“At this time it’s To Be Announced as to what exact Saugus sports memorabilia and photos will be included, but many of the photos will document the Saugus sports teams,” spokesperson Jillian Kuzyk wrote in her email to me.

Well, I’m sure there are enough rabid sports fans in town who can set these people straight as to what needs to be done to captivate Sachem pride at a local Ninety Nine.

No vacation for School Committee Saugus Public Schools Superintendent Dr. David DeRuosi, Jr. – along with the entire School Committee – have got be relaxing on this Fourth of July holiday week for very good reason – the end of their hard work in campaigning for a resounding victory in the recent Special Election that will pave the way for a new Saugus Middle-High School at the site of the current Saugus High.

But, just don’t take off the entire month, veteran School Committee Member Arthur Grabowski said, highlighting some special advice on how to prepare for a very important evaluation that needs to be done this month.

July 1 not only marked the beginning of the 2018 fiscal year. It was also the one-year anniversary of DeRuosi’s start as the school district’s chief. And his contract does call for an evaluation by the end of the month.

“This is not only contractual – but this is a regulation,” Grabowski said yesterday. “Every member has to do an evaluation. We have to set new goals, too,” he said.

“The worst,” indeed Saugus Police are telling us that last Friday’s window vandalism may have been the worst experienced by Saugus High School in recent memory. Veteran School Committee Member Arthur Grabowski said he believes that’s so.

“I can’t remember the last time we endured something this bad,” Grabowski said. “We may have had one or two windows broken out at the elementary schools. But I can’t recall anything like this. This is just ridiculous that somebody would do something like this.”

“To me, this just reinforces that people need to be more vigilant.

And I’d like to see the police get more aggressive. I’m not blaming them, but there are some things we can do [to protect the town from similar acts],” he said.

Grabowski said he would like to see vehicles that are parked late at night near school buildings towed. Grabowski also has a recom-

The brochure describes Round Hill as “Part of a highly significant Native American Cluster,” noting that Native Americans gathered stone from the ledge of jasper at the foot of Round Hill for tools.

“As we near the realization of this collaboration with a variety of individuals and groups, we look forward to a site where the general public will be able to visit, attend events and share in the proud history of Round Hill,” the brochure noted.

“The area’s extensive history, culture and natural resources will be preserved for future generations. The results of this partnership will be an amazing picture of our past being created in-situ through the preservation of the Round Hill Historic Site,” it continued.

Whole Grains – choose 6 or more

By Anna Tourkakis, Nutritionist

Prevent or delay diseases Eating adequate amounts of essential nutrients, along with sufficient calories, is essential to maintain health and to prevent or delay the development of cardiovascular disease, stroke, hypertension, and obesity. The American Heart Association (AHA) strongly endorses consumption of a diet that contains a variety of foods and emphasizes fruits and vegetables; fat-free and low-fat dairy products; cereal and grain products; legumes and nuts; and fish, poultry, and lean meats.

Consuming Whole Grains Choose 6 or more servings of a variety of grain products, including whole grains, based on

your needs. Grain products provide complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

An eating pattern high in grain products and fiber have been associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease.

trategically located in many backyards is the patio dinner table - summer’s dining table of choice, graced with platters of grilled meats. What you may not find on that table are foods made with whole grains.

While biting into a juicy hamburger on the familiar hamburger bun with cheese and ketchup may be mouthwatering, it is not conducive to keeping you healthy. As the dayto-day foods have an impact on your health, cooking lower fat meats and whole grains should be the norm of most meal plans.

enriched starches (such as cereals) should be major sources of calories in the diet.

Swap your typical sides and grace your summer dining table with whole-grain salads. I often make salads using grains such as bulgur, wheat berries or bulgur. Tossing any of these grains with corn, cut green beans, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers a refreshing and satisfying. Add a lean protein such as grilled chicken, turkey or fish and the meal is complete. Pasta salads made with whole-wheat pasta also have a distinctive taste and are more filing and flavorful. Even replacing the hamburger bun with a wholewheat bun is a good start.

The soluble fiber in whole grains helps reduce total and LDL cholesterol levels as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Additionally, fiber can slow down the rate food leaves the stomach and so may keep you full longer, which can help with weight management.

This year, enjoy delicious healthy whole grains as part of the simple pleasures of summer. Warm nights, easy meals at your favorite patio dining table and staying healthy! What’s not to like?

state planning attorneys use special powers of appointments in order to reserve in the Grantor the limited power to change who will ultimately receive the real estate and under what conditions. A Massachusetts Appeals court just recently approved such a reserved special power of appointment in the case of Skye v. Hession.

The court held that the reserved power in the deed itself (and the later exercise of that power) were valid.

The grantor (owner of the real estate) wanted to protect the real estate in the event nursing home care was needed. However, she also wanted to preserve the right to change who would ultimately receive the real estate upon her death. She exercised the special power of appointment contained in the deed via her Last Will and Testament. Once her Will was submitted to the Probate Court for allowance, one of the individuals whose interest was reduced filed an objection to the Will attempting to declare it null and void.

The court stated that since the grantor had reserved a life estate in the deed, the individuals receiving an interest in the real estate at that point in time did not have a “present possessory interest”, but rather had a “remainder interest”. The interest of those individuals at that point

in time was circumscribed by the grantor’s reserved special power of appointment. In effect, those individuals had originally received a “fee simple defeasible” interest. In a nutshell, the Appeals Court stated that the grantor could actually deed the property to one or more people, reserve a life estate in the deed itself, and still reserve the right to change who would ultimately receive the real estate, and, in what percentages.

Once the five-year look back period has been met, the grantor will not have to include the real estate as a countable asset for MassHealth eligibility purposes. Why is this so? The reason is that the grantor did not reserve a general power of appointment. The grantor herself cannot receive the real estate back. The grantor cannot “appoint” the property to herself, her creditors, or the creditors of her estate.

The reserved special power of appointment, even without a reserved life estate in the deed itself, also allows for a “step-up in cost basis” upon the grantor’s death.

This means that the fair market value of the real estate on the date of the grantor’s death becomes the new cost basis going forward. Therefore, future capital gains may be greatly reduced or eliminated altogether. A reserved life estate by itself, under the current tax law, will accomplish the same step-up.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court may hear this case on appeal if it decides the take the case. As it stands now, the case is important to elder law attorneys as such a reserved special power of appointment in a deed will not jeopardize MassHealth eligibility.

ASKS | from page 8 Q: So, she is going to be graduating one day from the new Saugus High School after it gets built.

Miryam: Yes! We’re excited about that. Yep! Brandon: We are excited about that.

Miryam: Very excited. That’s cool.

Q: So, what other things do you really like about Saugus? Is there a program or a place that really sticks out?

Miryam: I would say Youth and Rec., the SAL program.

Brandon: Honestly, everything in the town. The leadership is great. We love the town.

They have great programs. Every aspect of the town, we really do enjoy.

Q: While working closely with Youth and Rec., you have to be happy with the decision during the last couple of years by the town to improve and enhance the park situation.

Miryam: Absolutely.

Brandon: Yeah, they have been doing a great job improving the parks and everything, and the programs.

Q: Saugus Community Events … How did that come into being?

Miryam: We just wanted to reach out to people that we

wouldn’t meet at church. But we wanted to love them anyway, and we wanted to help them build community with each other and us and just love them.

Brandon: Because as a church, our statement is that we love Jesus and love people.

And, so, whether the people make the decision to follow Jesus or not, we’re going to love them. That’s one reason we created Saugus Community Events, to show people whether you go to church or not, we love you.

And we care about you.

Q: What percentage of the people who go to the events are from outside the church?

Brandon: The majority. There are families that come from the church, but most of the time, they are from outside the church.

Miryam: Oh yes. I think it’s really cool. Being able to reach out to people that aren’t from the church.

Q: So, you’re kind of filling a void with these free events that Saugus Community Events organizes? Especially like with the July 4 party, because the town has nothing going on with July 4. Hopefully, you do get 200 people showing up.

Brandon: That would be great!

Miryam: That would be awesome! And we’ll have snow

Q: Anything else that you would like to share about your church or about the Saugus Community Events?

Miryam: We want to mention about Sopeep Bou, one of our church members. He has been very involved with Saugus Community Events.

Q: Anything else?

Brandon: With the church, we just want to be known – that we’re for the community and that we love its people. Again, whether you go to our church or not, we are going to love you and we care about you, and kind of an extension of that is Saugus Community Events. And the people of our church have been incredibly generous, so we help fund Saugus Community Events through donations from the church. That’s been incredible, too.

Q: And how many years now have you been based out of St. John’s Episcopal Church?

Brandon: We started there in Saugus. September will be three years.

Q: So, I’m surprised you don’t get a lot of questions about the Permian Panthers and “Friday Night Lights.”

Miryam: Some people who are into football might ask about it. Yes, it’s part of our heritage, but we don’t talk about it a lot unless somebody brings it up, because this is our home now.

Q: So, now that you live in Massachusetts, who is your favorite football team? Still the Dallas Cowboys or the Patriots?

Brandon: I enjoy both of them, but I am a Cowboys fan.

And I’m a Celtics fan, a Bruins fan and a Red Sox fan. But I still do enjoy the Cowboys. They’re still my team.

Miryam: It’s been a lot of fun, with our friends joking about that, with the Patriots and the Cowboys.

Q: And what do you like about Saugus [to their three-year-old daughter]?

Charis: That we see our friends.

Savvy Senior

by Jim Miller

New Medicare Cards Debut Next Year Dear Savvy Senior, I just received my Medicare card in the mail and was surprised to see that the ID number is the same as my Social Security number. I know it’s a bad idea to carry around anything that displays my Social Security number because it makes me vulnerable to identity theft. Wasn’t the government supposed to stop putting Social Security numbers on Medicare cards?

New Beneficiary Dear New, Many people new to Medicare are surprised to learn that the ID number on their Medicare card is still identical to their Social Security number (SSN). After all, we’re constantly warned not to carry our SSN around with us, because if it gets lost or stolen, the result could be identity theft.

But the card itself tells beneficiaries to carry it with you when you are away from home so you can show it at the doctor’s office or hospital when you need medical care. Here’s what you should do to protect yourself.

New Medicare Cards For starters, you’ll be happy to know that the government is in the process of removing SSNs from Medicare cards, but with 58 million beneficiaries, it’s a huge undertaking that will be implemented gradually. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will start sending the new cards in April 2018, but it will take until December 2019 before SSNs are removed from all cards.

Under the new system, a randomly generated 11-character Medicare Beneficiary Identifier will replace the SSN-based health claim number on your new Medicare card, but your Medicare benefits will not change.

You will receive information in 2018 letting you know about the new Medicare card, with an explanation of how to use the new card and what to do with your old one. You can start using your new Medicare card with the new number as soon as you receive it, and there should be a transition period in 2018 and 2019 when you can use either the old card or the new card.

Protect Your Identity Until your new Medicare card is issued, here’s what you can do to protect your SSN on your current card. The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a national consumer resource on identity theft, recommends that you carry your Medicare card only when you visit a health care provider for the first time, so the provider can make a copy for their files. Otherwise, make a photocopy of your card and cut it down to wallet size. Then take a black marker and black out the last four digits of your SSN, and carry that instead in case of an emergency.

If your Medicare card does happen to get lost or stolen, you can replace it by calling Social Security at 800-772-1213 or contact your local Social Security office. You can also request a card online at SSA.gov/MyAccount. Your card will arrive in the mail in about 30 days.

If your Medicare card that contains your SSN gets lost or stolen, you’ll need to watch out for Medicare fraud. You can do this by checking your quarterly Medicare summary notices for services or supplies you did not receive. You can also check your Medicare claims early online at MyMedicare.gov (you’ll need to create an account first), or by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227. If you spot anything suspicious or wrong, call the Inspector General’s fraud hotline at 800-447-8477.

Also, watch for other signs of identity theft. For example, if someone uses your Social Security number to obtain credit, loans, telephone accounts, or other goods and services, report it immediately to the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov (or 877-438-4338). This site will also give you specific steps you’ll need to take to handle this problem.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
