GETTING DUNKED: Then-Saugus High School senior Joseph DiVola helped raise money for the Class of 2017 while splashing into the dunk tank when his chair collapsed.
Crystal Cakounes, programs coordinator for the Saugus Youth & Recreation Department. “I used to worry, ‘Are they going to arrest me?’ Of course, now, I think it’s a great way to raise money. And it’s a very popular part of the day,” she said. The Saugus BAND-its Jail is just one of many fun activities and fundraising events scheduled for tomorrow when the town shuts down Saugus Center for six hours so residents and visitors can enjoy the best of Saugus. There will be music, entertainment, arts and crafts, an assortment of food, a “fun area” for kids to play and a DJ presiding. As of late Tuesday, arrangements had been made for 137 tables to accommodate local nonprofit organizations
and food and craft vendors and for various groups handing out informational material. 11-year-old drummer “is amazing” A wooden stage is already set up at the bottom of the steps of Town Hall, where several local dance studios, theatre companies and an 11-year-old drummer will perform. “Gino Figliola is amazing,” Cakounes said, referring to the young drummer from Haverhill who has been coming to Founders Day for several years. His mother, Brenda Figliola, is a former Saugus resident and sees this as a way for her to “give back to the community I grew up in.” “Mark my word, he’s go-

Cakounes – with the help of her staff, representatives from many town departments and a group of volunteers – has been overseeing the planning of the special event, which has been in the making since last spring. The Youth Commission will arrive at about 5:30 a.m. tomorrow, directing vendors where they are supposed to set up.
Meanwhile, police will set up barricades to block off traffic from the rotary near Town Hall up to Central Street, toward the Saugus Iron Works. Taylor, Parker and Prospect Streets will also be blocked off for the town festival that will begin at 9 a.m. and last through 3 p.m. The marquee event – which happens at noon – is the Persons of the Year Awards ceremony. A man and woman, who are selected by past recipients of the award, will be honored for their volunteer public and community service and personal contributions for the betterment of the community. They will join 52 departed and living Saugonians who have

An interview with “DJ Dales,” who will be entertaining the crowd at Founders Day on Saturday Editor’s Note: For this week’s interview, we sat down with Stephen Daly, who will be performing under the nickname of DJ Dales at the 37th Annual Founders Day tomorrow (Saturday, Sept. 9). He talked about how he entertains the crowd at Founders Day and the interesting aspects of his job. Daly, 25, a Saugus native, attended Saugus Public Schools until High School. He is a 2010 graduate of Arlington High School. He is a technician for National Grid Gas of Malden. On weekends and during his spare time, he works weddings, birthday parties and other events as a disc jockey with his company, DJ Dales Entertainment. He began his DJ career about 10 years ago, while still in High School, as an assistant to a wedding DJ. Tomorrow will be his fifth Founders Day. He is the son of Paul and Susan Daly. He has two sisters, Macayla and Julia. Some highlights of this week’s interview follow. Q: Okay, Steve, how big a deal is it for you to work Founders Day? And how many times have you done it?

up there? Is this a volunteer or paid gig? A: I’m getting paid. Djing Founders Day mostly consists of hosting the event – example: greeting the guest, welcoming the acts to stage, keeping the crowd into it, staying on schedule, special announcements, playing music in between each performance and bringing a smooth production for the Youth & Rec employees and the Town of Saugus. The Founders Day schedule is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. this year. Q: So, please tell me how you approach the DJ gig at Founders Day. A: The second they sing the National Anthem, the program starts flowing. It’s a constant flow. I pretty much keep it rolling like nothing is going on. One year, somebody didn’t show up, so I had to fill the hour with songs. Sometimes I have to play 10 to 15 minutes, usually about three songs in between. It varies all of the time between each act. Q: So, how did your nickname DJ Dales evolve? A: My last name is Daly. Growing up as a kid, that was a nickname – Dales. When I was in high school, that’s what they used to call me, so that’s why they call me DJ Dales. Q: So, how did you break into the DJ business?
A: I started in high school for a guy as an assistant at weddings. I’ve been doing it for about 10 years. I was always a helper, learning the ways. There is always a script for a wedding. Every party is different. Q: So, what’s the most interesting part of your gig? A: The spotlight is always interesting. The hype is always interesting and will get good feedback from the crowd. Q: Is this the biggest event you will perform at this year? A: It is in the top five of my biggest events. This event brings a large crowd of all ages every year. Q: So you’re a big star at these events. Do you have many interactions with the crowd, the kids in particular? A: They usual block it off, but I don’t care if kids come up to me. Q: When you were a kid growing up in Saugus, was Founders Day a fun, family event for you to go to? And what are your fondest Founders Day memories? A: I used to look forward to Founders Day every year as a kid. My family was always involved in Saugus sports, so if we weren’t running a booth for a sports team I was out battling my friends on every game possible. Q: How do you prepare for working Founders Day? Is there a lot of preparation that goes into it? Is there a set routine that you have used from pre-
vious years? A: Like any event I work, you have to get the pre-game jitters out your system right away. The Youth & Rec prepares the schedule for me, and they put a lot of work into keeping a steady flow of performances in order. Q: About how many records will you play? Has that already been set up, as far as which ones and the sequence? Or do you take requests, too? A: Every year is different, and anything can happen to the schedule with last minute changes. I go with the flow and feel out the crowd. Yes, I always take requests. Q: So you don’t carry around the records anymore. Right? A: It’s all digital. Everything is digital nowadays. And I can come up with just about any request that people make. Q: You are going to have a mixed crowd here: from tots to senior citizens. So how do you accommodate that crowd? Are there certain songs you play because they are popular to all ages? And are there some songs you steer clear of, because you don’t want to offend anyone? Or adult numbers that might … A: I deal with mixed aged crowds at every event that I work; there is no better feeling then getting all ages dancing together. I will play a pop-

ular, older song and go off of the reaction from the crowd, and that’s how I continue with the next songs. Founders Day is a fun, family-friendly event so we keep all the music clean and make it a day to remember! Q: Do you get any requests ahead of time from town officials or community leaders for particular songs? A: The only request I get is to make sure everyone has a good time. Q: What’s the most popular song that you play? A: Everyone loves the “Cha Cha Slide” and “Cupid Shuffle,” but the most popular song will change every year Q: What’s the most popular song that you don’t play? A: The younger kids and middle age kids will want to hear the popular songs now that aren’t usually appropriate for a family event. I’ll usually try to throw another one in the same style they want to hear that is usually cleaner and more appropriate for the event. I never say no. I always switch it up. I say, “What about this one?” I don’t want to get anybody angry or lose the crowd. The second you lose the crowd, the party is over. Q: So, what’s the range of the songs you play? A: All genres. Usually in the morning, a lot of older people are there, so you can play songs in the 70s: Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Big Band– style. I climb the ladder as the day goes on, to appeal to the younger crowd. I’ll play a song and see what they like. And if
they like it, I will play another one right in the same genre. So, I start from the older and work my way up. People ask for everything, and I’ll usually play everything as long as it is appropriate. Q: So, do you get requests from older folks to specific songs? A: Usually, they will send somebody else up to ask for the song. If I’m at a party and somebody requests a song, usually it’s the person with the most courage to come up and ask for it. Q: So, a lot of folks are shy and have somebody else ask for the song? A: Oh, yeah, I see it all the time. Sometimes they’ll send a kid up. Q: You’ll know from the request that somebody other than the kid is asking for the song? A: Oh yeah, right off the bat. Q: So what’s it like to be at the steps of Town Hall, being the man responsible for the music of the day and for talking to the crowd, doing what DJ’s do? A: It’s a great feeling to help provide a great lineup of performances for the people of Saugus. Q: Do you do the same thing you do other Founders Days, or do you plan surprises or new things? A: Every year is different. Q: What kind of feedback do you get from the crowd? A: Always positive feedback, I aim to please each and every attendee. Q: As a DJ, is there a DJ you look up to? And when you are not working as DJ at Founders Day, do you still attend? And do

ASKS | from page 6 you find yourself analyzing the DJ of the Day? A: Can’t say there is a specific DJ I look up to, but growing up as a kid Tiesto was the man on the rise and I always wanted to be like him. If I’m not DJing Founders Day, I am most likely DJing another event. Any party I go to that I’m not DJing I always look for new tricks or song matches the DJ is working the crowd with. You always learn from the experience. If you do a 50th birthday party for someone and you do it well, there’s five people turning 50 in the next year. It’s really word of mouth. Someone is graduating next year or somebody’s having a birthday party next year. That’s why I try to bring it all of the time. No party is too small. Q: So what procedures or strategy do you follow to make sure you have a great DJ day? A: Staying cool calm and collected is the key to success. Q: Over the years, have there been any Founders Day experiences that you have learned from? And how do you grade an average performance and a good or great performance? A: Every year is different and you always aim to improve each year. Q: Do you hope to do this full-time some day? A: If I did this full-time – it’s always the worry about job secu-

As long as it works out, I’m going to do it. Q: Anything else that you would like to share?

350th bicentennial celebration, according to Donna Gould, who has been recognized as the organizer or founder of Founders Day. In an interview with The Saugus Advocate last year, Gould noted the striking view that greets first-time attendees of Founders Day. “When you look down from the rotary, towards the Iron Works, the view is amazing. It’s the umbrellas, the tents, the people, the balloons. Everything. It’s just a beautiful sight,” Gould said. “The best part of Founders Day is seeing your neighbor, seeing your neighbor’s children, seeing the town officials and seeing your church members. Everybody came to Founders Day and you could have a mini-reunion with everybody. And that was the best part of it,” she said. “A little bit of something for everybody” Founders Day is a potpour-
ri of entertainment, food and fun served up Saugus style for residents of all ages – from tots who love to sit on a street curb to devour some fried dough to senior citizens who might like to treat themselves to something sweet. “My grandmother loved it,” Cakounes recalled. “She couldn’t wait for Founders Day and the strawberry shortcake,” she said. “I think there’s a little bit of something for everybody,” said Cakounes, remembering how she used to come home from college to get reconnected to High School chums whom she hadn’t seen for a while. For Cakounes, who during her childhood days was one of the performers for Sandra School of Dance – now Dance Junction – watching the stage rekindles some of those memories. “I think some people are excited to come and see their friends and relatives perform on stage. I know I love to watch the performers,” she said. Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta called it “a family tradition” that several generations of Saugonians have enjoyed. “Founders Day is a day of celebrating everything Saugus,” Panetta told The Saugus
Advocate. “It’s one of my favorite days of the year, where we get to see our neighbors, visit nonprofit and craft tables staffed by our friends, eat delicious food and watch great entertainment on stage. We have the opportunity to support our schools with the raffles, games, team spirit merchandise, and enjoying the ‘Fun Area,’” she said. Panetta noted the one stop in the Fun Area that is familiar to her and other town officials. “The Saugus Band has a ‘jail day’ where you are ‘arrested’ and need to be bailed out – where all the funds support the band. The Saugus Library will also be having a book sale,” Panetta said. “The ceremony at noon in front of Town Hall is always a special time, where we honor the man and woman of the year. All of the past winners sit on stage … these people have been the inspiration and role models for our town,” she said. School Committee Vice Chair Peter Manoogian echoed Panetta’s comments about the essence of the event that some town residents have called “the best day of the year” for Sau-

effort to transform into a spread QB. He is trying to fine tune his skills every day, looking at film and working in the field to master his technique.” Saugus’s program had more than its fair share of road bumps before Nalen took over. Last season, they won just one game. But for Nalen, success starts with looking ahead and developing the talent on his roster. “The big thing as the staff of this program is to not talk about the past and to focus on the present and future,”Nalen said.“We want to get better each week.” That said, Nalen praises the support he’s gotten from the
Saugus community. “One reason I took the job in Saugus is – the kids, parents, school, boosters – everyone works so hard,” he said. “It’s tight knit. They care for the kids. They want the kids in town to succeed. As a coach I want that kind of support.” Nalen’s new odyssey kicks off on Friday against St. Mary’s and he knows his team is in for a challenge. The Spartans concluded last season 14-1. “The biggest thing about St. Mary’s is they’re well coached, they’re always good,” said Nalen. “They do all things well, they’re sound. Certainly we’ll have our hands full.”

gus. “Founders Day is always great fun for Saugus families and children,” said Manoogian, a longtime participant in town government. “Youth groups and organizations are able to have successful fundraising efforts on this day. I can only recall one year in which it was cancelled due to the weather. Looking forward to it again this year!” Many deserve credit for its success Gould is grateful to Cakounes and the Saugus Youth & Recreation Department for taking over Saugus’s most popular festival after she gave up being its coordinator in 2011. Otherwise, a great Saugus tradition might have faded into the past, she said. Gould is still involved with Founders Day, helping to coordinate the Person of the Year awards. But Cakounes prefers to pass the credit onto the numerous town employees, volunteers, town departments and various organizations who have kept the event going. “Everyone has kind of gotten a hand in this … The DPW, the Building Maintenance people, the Recycling Department, the Health Department, the Town Manag-
er’s Office, the Police and Fire Departments. On Saturday, all of these people will have their hands in it,” Cakounes said. “A lot goes into it, getting the traffic situation taken care [of ], blocking the streets off and making sure everything is safe. Making sure the food preparation areas meet health standards,” she said. It’s also considered one of the biggest fundraising events for education, youth and high school sports organizations. Many school and youth groups will be selling raffle tickets and team spirit merchandise. “I think it’s a big fundraiser for most of the kid groups and all of the sports teams,” Cakounes said. The Saugus High School Baseball team is using a radar gun to see how fast you can throw a baseball. Members of the Saugus Senior Class are sponsoring the dunk tank, where people throw a baseball at a metal target, hoping to collapse a chair that drops somebody into a tank of water. The Veterans Memorial Elementary School Kindergarten is sponsoring a candy hunt. Some of the Saugus High School groups benefiting from individual fundraisers going on include the basketball and lacrosse teams, the drama club, cheerleaders,

hen news spread that a young boy who loved tow trucks had tragically drowned in a swimming pool and was being waked, a couple of local tow truck drivers got together to honor six-yearold Brayden Kelly of South Boston with a parade of trucks that stretched over three miles long. Jose Spinetto of McGarvey Towing and David Duff of Todisco’s Towing made some calls and before the youngster’s wake on August 27, his family witnessed over 180 tow trucks, some coming from as far away as Berwick, Maine, to honor the youngster who used to tell family members he wanted to be a tow truck driver as he drove around in his uncle’s tow truck. In an interview that aired on local news stations, Duff stated that his family had ties to towing and they had asked for some tow trucks to show up at the memorial service. “We put the word out, we started getting as many trucks as we could together, and we just re-

ally wanted to put some sunshine on a horrific day,” said Duff to WBZ-TV. The drivers also signed a stuffed tow truck for Brayden’s family.
Duff said that he hopes the memor y of the truck parade will help ease their pain just a little bit. “That’s really what it’s all about,” said Duff.

Two new members join the Board of Health By Mark E. Vogler
T
he Board of Health is back up to full strength after its two newest members got sworn in last week at Saugus Town Hall. Maria L. Tamagna, a registered nurse for 27 years – the last 10 as the Public Health Nurse for the City of Malden – and Shawn Ayube, the director of laboratory operations for the Harvard Life Lab, joined the board last week. “I am happy that both Maria and Shawn have volunteered to be on the Board of Health,” Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta said this week. “They both have excellent credentials and will great additions to this Board. As you will see, both of these applicants have extensive experience and will prove to be valuable additions to our Board of Health.” Tamagna has been in charge of the day-to-day operations of the Board of Health Clinic in Malden. Her responsibilities as Nurse Care Manager for patients includes gathering of detailed health histories, obtaining medical records, coordination of care, collaborating with multiple medical disciplines, extensive patient support and teaching.

the football and track teams, hockey and golf teams and the National Honor Society “People know if they are buying food that it will be going to a good cause … It’s a big fundraiser for everybody. It’s huge,” Cakounes said. Cakounes, who is responsible for all of the planning and coordinating the logistics for Founders Day, calls it “a selfsustaining event.” The money made on the table spaces is used to pay the expenses, which include police details, postage, supplies, awards, printing, decorations, inflatables and other entertainment. Fond family memories The tables cost $50 per resident, $75 for nonresidents and $150 for businesses. Politicians must pay $500 for each space and must remain at their table if they plan on distributing campaign materials. “The neighbors are pretty helpful. We shut down their streets for the whole day, so they definitely deserve a thank you. Some of them even let us use electricity for the Fun Area,” Cakounes said. “I think it’s neat to see what people are doing. It’s fun to find out about somebody you know who has a talent that you didn’t know about,” she said. “I wish I could buy some homemade candles and jewelry, but I’m running around like a chicken with the head cut off. But I couldn’t do what I do without everybody’s help,” she said.

Meanwhile, Panetta gets nostalgic as she looks back on past Founders Days she attended with her family. “My fondest memories on Founders Day are all the times my daughter danced on stage. This will be the first time in many years that she won’t be dancing since she is now in college,” Panetta said. “I also fondly remember my son getting up very early and selling slush for Boy Scout Troop 62 each and every Founders Day. It’s a great day to
support our community! “I appreciate all the hard work that goes into a successful Founders Day, including the work done by our Youth and Recreation staff (Greg and Crystal), the Founders Day committee, Town staff (including the DPW, Building Maintenance, Police, Fire, Health, and Town Administration), SCTV, the PTOs, and the numerous volunteers. I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the day!”

School Committee members ponder goals for new academic year By Mark E. Vogler
I
ndividually and collectively, School Committee members see the new year that just began as an important time to assemble the building blocks for the future of Saugus Public Schools. School Committee Vice-Chair Peter Manoogian and Member Arthur Grabowski said they are anxious to see how the school
district did on its most recent MCAS tests when the results come out sometime next month. “These would be the first set of results under Dr. DeRuosi, Manoogian noted in a recent interview. “I am looking forward to seeing those results, particularly for the Open Response,” he said. Historically, Saugus has not fared as well compared to the
LETTER | from page 7 gus TV. If you do not have an ad in digital form, but would still like to place an ad, Saugus TV can create one for you. The cost is $75 to create the ad, plus $25 to place the ad. Please allow three business days for Saugus TV to create your ad. Candidate Statement Program: Saugus TV would like to invite candidates for both Saugus Board of Selectmen and Saugus School Committee to schedule a time to come to the studio located at 1 Pearce Memorial Dr., to record their candidate statements. Each candidate is allowed three minutes of air time to let viewers know who they are and why they are running for office. This statement is intended to be shot in one take. We allow for onsite review of your take, and will reshoot if necessary. You may leave once you are satisfied with your statement. There will be no reshoots available thereafter. There is no cost to the candidate for participating in this taping. Starting October 6th, candidates running for Saugus Board of Selectmen or Saugus School Committee are encouraged to call Saugus TV Executive Director Bryan Nadeau, and confirm a date and time to tape your statement. Deadline to record your statement is October 20th at 5 PM. All candidate statements recorded will then be compiled in order of ballot position into a single program that will air on Comcast Channel 9 starting October 27. This program will air three times a day, at random times in the morning, afternoon, and evening until the election is over on November 7th. Air date and times TBD. Please check www.saugustv. org for program schedules. The program will also be available to view on our Vimeo page at www.vimeo. com/saugustv.
Candidate Forums: Saugus T V will tape and broadcast (LIVE, if applicable) other organizations forums and/or debates, as long as we are given at least 5 days’ notice prior to the event to secure staff coverage.

Additional Political Programming: Saugus TV wishes to provide our viewing public, our citizens, and institutions located in Saugus, the equipment, training, and cable broadcast time necessary to communicate programming of interest. Saugus TV is nonpartisan, therefore we do not produce programs endorsing specific candidates or ballot questions. We encourage residents, organizations, and businesses to become members of Saugus TV. If a candidate is a member, or becomes a member of Saugus TV, they are entitled to take our courses and learn how to use our video production equipment, and the ability to use it for the purposes of creating a program that will air on Saugus TV. Any political programming produced by a Saugus T V member must be received by October 20, 2017 at 5 PM. These programs will be shown on Comcast Channel 9 starting October 27th, and will air once a day, at random times, and will run up until 24 hours before the start of the November 7th election day.

state average on the Open Response. But, with a renewed emphasis on writing over the past year, Manoogian said he hopes to see some improvements. “I’m not a fan for testing, but it does give you a snapshot of your weaknesses,” Grabowski added. Grabowski proposed that the School Committee develop fewer goals for the superin-
tendent this year, “but more important and far-reaching goals. I’d like to see them condensed into four or five big ones. It seemed like we had too many goals last year,” he said. “For me, the most overarching goal should be improving student achievement and culture and promoting a safe, healthy and educational environment in the schools,” he said.
“I like the fact that this guy [DeRuosi] is concerned about academics. We want to develop good students first and athletes second. This is the beginning of the superintendent’s second year, so the principals have had time to buy into his program,” he said. “We need to make sure that programs are equitable

(Saturday, Sept. 9), he might be inclined to say “It will be a wonderful day to celebrate Saugus!”We’re talking George Bailey, here – the character played by actor James Stewart in the Hollywood holiday classic “It’s a Wonderful Life.” And having attended last year’s Founders Day, I think that By Mark Vogler quote I borrowed from a Saugus Youth & Recreation flyer proere are a few tidbits that you might want to know about moting the event is a fitting review of what folks can expect this this week in Saugus. weekend. The weather is supposed to be beautiful. And if you want to see Saugus at its best, plan on joining the crowd. That Founders Day feeling “This is an amazing community event that every Saugonian If George Bailey were to show up at Saugus Center tomorrow should attend,” proclaims the Youth & Recreation flyer. “It is a great way to end the summer, and to get out and see some familiar faces. Local vendors will be there selling their handmade crafts & products, and businesses will be handing out information. You can even get your flu shot! Money spent in the food court & the fun area will be donated back to the youth organizations that are sponsoring each item.” Not a bad way to spend a day. And even though I was on duty covering the event last year, it was loads of fun. The images of smiling faces – people laughing and having a wonderful time – were something great to see. I’m looking forward to another fun time tomorrow – and I’m not even a Saugonian.

and circumvented, the citizens’ right to know gets obstructed. And that can only lead to erosion of responsible, ethical government. Contrary to what some of our readers believe, it’s not my job to become friends with the government officials I write about. Nor is it my job to be their enemy. It’s my job to be fair and balanced in the coverage. When officials ignore phone calls and emails, there’s always a danger of incomplete coverage – because there’s always more than one side to a story. So, those officials who choose to dodge questions on important issues are doing a disservice to themselves as well as the citizens they represent. And, amazingly, some of the officials who take umbrage to unflattering stories think they can punish a newspaper by withholding what we call “positive news” or human interest stories that can only make a community look good. Unfortunately, that’s happened to me a few times this summer. And I’m sure that will continue to happen in the coming months, as one of our readers noted in an email following our story on Open Meeting Law violations last week: “Thank you for having the temerity to speak out. Regrettably, it will mean that you will have a difficult time doing your job because people will not return your calls or give you access. Please know that when any coalition of folks, who purport to be the duly elected representatives of the people, disenfranchise any member of the press, I consider that an assault on my freedoms and on democracy itself.” I’m sure a lot of civic-minded people of Saugus feel the same way.
Rookie luck at the track Speaking of great times, my good friend David Spink – the former North Shore Sunday journalist who wrote the definitive piece on Saugus politics back in the 1980s (the Land of R Politics) – invited me to join him at Suffolk Downs last Saturday. Spink, who also authored the famous North Shore Sunday article on “The Worst Family in Lynn,” loves the ponies and has made it a most productive hobby over the years. So, I was looking to pick up some pointers. Having never gone to a race track before to bet on horse racing, it seemed like an intriguing way to spend a Saturday afternoon. And it was. I brought $37 to bet on 10 races and I went home with $25 ($5 I spent on a program and another $5 went on food), so I only lost a couple of bucks. It was almost a wash. And I had what my friend called “beginner’s luck.” I won $2.60 for betting $2 on Texas Tea to show in the second race. The horse finished in a dead heat tie for first. In the 5th race, I bet $2 on Pounds to Pennies to win. The horse finished second. In the 6th race, I bet $2 on Two Step Temper to place. I won $3.60 because the horse finished first. In the 7th race, I bet $3 on Deltalina to place. I won about $4 when the horse finished second. For an encore, I got extravagant and bet $5 on Puca to win in the 10th and featured race – the Steve Pini Memorial Stakes. I came close to betting $10. My horse wound up winning, so I ended the day with a payout of about $19. I didn’t spend a lot of cash. But my first experience at the horse racing track was fun. And I plan to be back next year – probably the last time before that nice historic track gets converted to condos. What a shame. Another weekend of live racing at Suffolk Downs is set for Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. Any sports-minded person who loves to watch the horses should drive over there for a fun afternoon one of those days. You don’t have to throw down a lot of money to enjoy an Curbside leaf collection afternoon watching some beautiful animals race around the commences track. I’m not a gambler, but I’d sure go again.

At the Iron Works The Saugus Iron Works National Historic site has a couple of neat programs coming up this month: Park Rangers are offering these free programs on multiple days: Sept. 16 and Sept. 23, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.: “Saugus River Estuary Walk,”“Become a Citizen Scientist” and “The 17th Century Garden in New England.”“Join a ranger in a short walk down a nature trail as we discuss different plant and animal adaptations for living in a tidal riparian zone,” a press release from the Iron Works notes. “Learn about some of the different plant and animal species that call the Saugus River home, and come see why it makes a great habitat for a diverse array of species. This walk will be fun for all ages, but is not stroller friendly.” The Iron Works is also offering a special river trip at $15 per person on multiple days: Sept. 23 and Oct. 23, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. “Join us on a paddle up the Saugus River and experience the River’s place in the nature, history, and community of Saugus,” according to the website. “Visitors will paddle for three hours round trip with guides to the Saugus Iron Works from Stocker Playground.” To register, email contact@PaddleBoston.com. High School students should apply Town Clerk Ellen Schena asked me to put the word out that she’s still looking for a few good men and women to work as election workers for the Nov. 7 town election. There will be two shifts: 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 2 p.m. to closing. “I’m willing to be flexible with the hours,” Schena said in a recent interview. “And they can work a full day, which is about 15 hours,” she said. Schena is looking to fill vacant poll workers positions at each of the 10 precincts, at about a $9-an-hour rate. People under age 17 need not apply, as they would be too young. She said she always needs to have extra people available, in somebody cancels their assignment on or near Election Day. “I usually get about five cancellations before the election … Most people who work for us are retirees. But I’m starting to get more High School students. So, this would be a good job for them – somebody who is smart, quick and has the energy. And it’s actually a good way for them to help support their community,” Schena said. Letters were due to go out to about 80 to 90 people, scheduling them to work. Usually 100 to 110 are signed up to work on Election Day, Schena said. Well, if some High School students are at least 17 and looking to pick up a little pocket money while helping their community, go down to the Town Clerk’s Office at Town Hall to apply.

The vigil is titled “Remembering Su.” Family and friends will gather for a candlelight ceremony which will consist of testimony, prayers and music. Members of the clergy and law enforcement have been invited to participate. “We are conducting this vigil on the 25th anniversary of us losing Susan to say thanks to the many people who have helped, consoled and supported us over the years, never giving up hope that answers will be found in the tragic loss of my daughter,” Marlene Taraskiewicz said. “We invite everyone to come out to hear about what a beautiful person Susan was.” Cub Scout Pack 62 recruitment Cub Pack 62 is pleased to announce it will be hosting its annual recruiting day on Sept.16 from 9 to 1 in front of Saugus Town Hall on Central Street in Saugus.

The lions will meet from 6 to 7 p.m. and the rest of the pack will meet from 6:45 to 8 pm. Cub Pack 62 has become one of the best run programs over the past several years, keeping kids and parents active with weekly meetings and activities. The Pack is fortunate to have a large gym for the scouts to play ball and other games in. Some of last year’s activities included several campouts, hikes, a Museum of Science overnight, a pinewood derby race and more. A team of dedicated, trained leaders and committee members always works to provide the best program there is. The cost for the year is $150.00, which includes membership fees, achievement book, Boy’s Life Magazine, slider, neckerchief and all awards. For your convenience, cash, checks and credit cards are all accepted. The Pack is open to scouts from other communities as well. Many people know of the program and are willing to travel. There is also an awesome Boy Scout program for boys ages 10 1/2 to 18. If you have any questions, need more information or can’t make the sign up times, please contact Cubmaster Chris Finnie at cfinnie93@yahoo.com or 781816-3001 or Scoutmaster John Kane at johnkt62@gmail.com or 781-389-2708

S
augus Public Schools Superintendent Dr. David DeRuosi, Jr. said there’s no time for him or the school district to catch a breath after a gruel-

The original cartoon will appear this weekend on 80 websites, Facebook pages and online newspapers. DeMarco, who has been playing goalie at Hockeytown USA on Route 1 in Saugus for 40 years, said he draws a lot of his inspiration from playing at the local rink and everyday life, then goes back to his Austin Court condominium unit to draw in bedroom studio.

Gaieski advocates expansion of writing program Committee Member Linda Gaieski said she has five goals she would like to see accomplished this year. • The further implementation and expansion of the systemwide writing program presently underway with accompanying professional development; • Implementation of the robotics program on the second-

Robbins, who had been the Belmonte School principal for about five years, has been replaced by the school’s vice principal – Myra Monto – who will serve as interim principal, according to School Committee Member Arthur Grabowski. Guidance Counselor Mau-
reen Lueke has been appointed interim vice principal, filling the vacancy left by Monto. The School Department has posted for an interim guidance counselor to take Lueke’s place for the year, Grabowski said. “Kerry’s leaving was really bad timing and unexpected. But Myra has been there for a couple of years, so hopefully, she’ll keep things going,”
Grabowski said. “Belmonte is a tough school and it’s probably the toughest change to make for the kids because of the transition. So if there are any major changes in MCAS this year, we’ll know that Kerry was doing things the right way,” he said. Monto, a 1987 Saugus High School graduate, was an English teacher at Bel-
monte School before being appointed assistant principal at the school in 2009. She received her Bachelor’s degree in English/Communications from Regis College, a Master’s degree in Education from Cambridge College and a Master’s degree in administration from Salem State College.

achievement,” Gaieski said. “It is my sincere hope that the committee will work to set new goals for itself and cooperate with the Superintendent in setting new goals for him in the next academic year. Ultimately, it is my hope that this Committee can work together to move this system forward in a professional, dignified and harmonious manner for the benefit of the students of Saugus,” she said.
program “run more efficiently and effectively.” “I think Dr. DeRuosi has his arms around things … All of the contracts are settled. There’s a renewed emphasis on teaching and learning, as opposed to financial issues that were plaguing us last year,” Manoogian said. “But one thing we’ll have to watch out for is the $700,000 impact from the second year of the teachers’ contract that will show up in the FY ’19 budget [for the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2018],” he said. “Making sure that there’s accountability in the School Department is important. You know, it takes a while to turn an organization around,” he said. Manoogian and Grabowski
said they are both concerned about the results from major changes in the food service department. “We have a new food service, with Whitsons taking over,” Grabowski said. “They’ve essentially privatized the food services, with their employees and their management in our buildings.” “But all I care about is the quality of the food for the students. Without the interference of Michelle Obama, I’m hoping that we can offer a better product that is more appealing, tastes better and is healthy,” he said. School Committee Chair Jeannie Meredith and Member Elizabeth Marchese declined to be interviewed for this story.
A renewed emphasis on teaching and learning Manoogian said he hopes to see the design of the new school develop this year. With the hiring of a full-time athletic director, Manoogian said he also wants to see the athletic

Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen
THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. SENATORS’ VOTES WITH THEIR PARTY LEADERSHIP - This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports the percentage of times local senators voted with their party’s leadership in 2017 through Sept. 1. The votes of the 2017 membership of 5 Republicans were compared with those of GOP Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). The votes of the 2017 membership of 32 Democrats were compared to House Majority Leader Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester), second in command in the Senate. We could not compare the Democrats’ votes to those of Senate President Stan Rosenberg (D-Amherst) because by tradition, the Senate president rarely vote. Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 73 votes from the 2017 Senate session as the basis for this report. This includes all roll calls that were not on local issues. None of the 32 Democratic senators voted with Chandler 100 percent of the time. Twelve came very close and voted with Chandler all but one time. The Democratic senator who
voted the lowest percentage of times with Chandler was Sen. Walter Timilty (D-Milton) who voted with Chandler only 90.4 percent of the time. None of the five GOP senators voted with Tarr 100 percent of the time. The Republican senator who voted the lowest percentage of times with Tarr was Sen. Richard Ross (R-Wrentham) who voted with Tarr only 94.5 percent of the time. SENATORS’PERCENTAGE OF VOTES SUPPORTING THEIR PARTY’S LEADER IN 2017 The percentage next to the senator’s name represents the percentage of times the senator supported his or her party’s leader. The number in parentheses represents the number of times the senator opposed his or her party’s leader. Some senators voted on all 73 roll call votes. Others missed one or more of the 73 votes. The percentage for each senator is calculated based on the number of roll calls on which he or she voted and does not count the roll calls for which he or she was absent. Sen. Thomas McGee
97.3 percent (2)
HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the
House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of August 28-September 1, the House met for a total of 53 minutes while the Senate met for a total of one hour and 13 minutes. MON.AUG. 28 House11:01 a.m. to11:43 a.m. Senate 11:03 a.m. to11:48 a.m. TUES.

And now the job is ‘let’s get the work done.’ As a district and a town, I think we’re in a good place,” he said. DeRuosi agreed that “there’s a bunch of little things” that school officials and staff are grappling with right now, like the closing of the Ballard Early Childhood Center and the transfer of pre-k students to the Waybright Elementary School and the Veterans Memorial Elementary School. “We spent a lot of time looking at registration.
