State Legislature asked to refund early voting costs

T

he 296 communities that collectively spent $1,063,978 to fund early voting for the 2016 General Election could be getting their money back.

Within the total figure, Lynnfield spent $1,819, Peabody spent $4,531 and Saugus did not incur any expense.

Officials from Bump’s office said the expenses were certified through an electronic sur-

vey that was sent to every city and town clerk in the Commonwealth. In February 2017, the Division of Local Mandates (DLM) determined that under the Local Mandate Law, the state cannot require cities and towns to fund state programs such as early voting.

Established in 1980 as part of Proposition 2 ½, the DLM acts as a watchdog to ensure that communities are not shouldering expenses that should be covered by the state.

As a result, 675 petitions have been submitted to the DLM during the past 37 years.

From the total number of petitions, the DLM has rendered 436 decisions. Seventy-nine of them have been in favor of the municipality and have resulted in the return of approximately $343 million.

addition to our democratic processes and funding the expenses incurred by our municipalities will make it that much stronger,” State Auditor Suzanne Bump said in her Jan. 8 letter to the Massachusetts Legislature. “We want to work with you to set out the process for 2018 and the general elections in the future.”

Last fall, the House of Representatives approved a budget amendment that included $485,000 for early voting costs; however, it was voted down by the Senate.

The Early Voting Law, which has been in effect since 2014, requires that every community offer a 12-day window for residents to cast their ballots early.

According to the Secretary of State’s Office, more than 22 percent of the registered voters took advantage of early voting in 2016.

By Mark E. Vogler

hortly after 1 p.m. on Jan. 4, with about four feet of water outside the house at 12 Milton Street, a woman in her early 80’s wanted to get out of harm’s way so she wouldn’t become a casualty of the flooding that packed a wallop in the winter’s first major snowstorm.

The Saugus Fire Department responded with its foot-long Inflatable Zodiac boat, used for water rescues. And the boat would transport the woman to a Chevy Trailblazer where a family member was waiting to drive her to a place where she could stay until it was safe for her to return home.

The foot of snow that fell on Saugus and many surrounding communities was nothing compared a tidal surge that accompanied it, which flooded several Saugus streets -- including Milton Street.

Fire officials estimated there were flooded basements in up to 50 homes, leading to a shutoff of electrical and gas service

in many of them.

But the Milton Street woman was the only one who was evacuated.

“There were people sheltered in place until they knew where they were going,” Saugus Fire Chief Michael Newbury said in an interview this week, reflecting on the town’s response to the storm.

“We didn’t have to open a shelter. In all of the cases where people needed to leave their homes, they wound up staying with family members or friends,” Newbury said.

A potential for danger There was the potential for real danger in this storm, according to Fire Capt. James Hughes.

Due to the flooding condition, the lack of heat and electricity, chest-high water -- salt water that got cold enough to freeze -- firefighters and other emergency workers were prepared for the worst.

“Some of the streets were covered with salt water, which was

~THE ADVOCATE ASKS~

State Rep. Donald Wong discusses his plans for 2018, including a fifth two-year term representing Saugus on Beacon Hill Editor’s Note: For this week, we talked with state Rep. Donald Wong about his legislative priorities for the New Year. Naturally, we asked the question that most people are curious about – whether he plans to run for reelection this fall. And he said he will seek his fifth two-year term for the Ninth Essex District seat. Precincts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in Saugus make up the core of the district, which also includes parts of Lynn and Wakefield.

Wong, 65, is a 1970 graduate of Belmont High School. He has lived in Saugus for 43 years. Prior to his election to the State House, he served as chairman of the Saugus Board of Selectmen (20072011) and was a member of the Saugus Annual Town Meeting (2005-2007). He is a third-generation Chinese American. He, along with state Rep. Tackey Chan (DQuincy), were the first Asian Americans elected to the state Legislature in 2010. Wong and his wife, Jeannie, have three grown children and four granddaughters.

He is a businessman and president of Mandarin House, Inc., which manages the Kowloon Restaurant – a popular Route 1 restaurant owned by three generations of his family at the same location for 66 years.

Some highlights of the interview follow.

Q: So, what are some of your priorities for the New Year?

A: I have a lot things that I’m working on. One major project … Route 1 is going to be repaved, from Route 99 all the way to Lynnfield.

Q: So, before we go on, one thing I want to ask you, whether you would be running for reelection.

A: Yes. I do plan on seeking a fifth term. Like always, I want to work with [in local government] whoever wants to work with me. My hands are always open to help people in my district. I spend a lot of my time working on issues to help law enforcement, firefighters, veterans, seniors and education.

Q: Who will be your campaign manager?

A: Corinne Riley is still my campaign manager.

Q: When do you plan to make your candidacy official?

A: We plan to make a formal announcement next month or in March sometime.

Q: So what are some of the major projects you are working on this year?

A: Kasabuski Rink is one. I want to help straighten out the mess we have there. It’s a complicated situation because of the

sublease. I have been working very closely with DCR [state Department of Conservation and Recreation]. I’m trying to set up a meeting between DCR and the town. DCR leases the rink to Saugus and Saugus subleases it.

But DCR can only talk to Saugus.

Right now, I’m trying to facilitate a meeting to see how we can get the rink in better shape.

Q: Anything else that’s a high priority this year?

A: We’re planning on putting a walkway from Lynn Fells Parkway to Breakheart Reservation, hopefully this spring. I think it’s dangerous the way it is now, with no sidewalks there … with kids on bicycles and parents with carriages. They should be able to walk on a sidewalk and not out in the street.

The other big project that I’m involved with is the High School/ Middle School. I’ve been work-

ing closely with the MSBA [Massachusetts School Building Authority] and making sure the funding is there.

Q: So, as you look back on your time in the Legislature, what are you most proud of? What do you consider your top accomplishments?

A: When I first got in [the Legislature], I worked to get the water and sewer on Route 1 all redone. That’s one of my major accomplishments. We got it redone, so we don’t have to worry about water line breaks every year. That was a major project.

I helped bring archery to the schools and I also brought robotics; I got grants for them. I believe in education, and I believe robotics is going to be our future. I have been a strong advocate for education in the community.

I’m proud of having worked with a lot of the nonprofits in the schools to make our education system better. Things that are needed that are not in the budget – we try to find ways of getting them done. I chaired the Saugus Business Education Collaborative’s Adopt-ASchool Program. I adopted the Lynnhurst School. I’m also one of four founders of the Saugus Business Partnership, which has donated thousands of dollars to Saugus schools and sports.

And I helped start the Saugus

A FRIEND OF THE VETS: State Rep. Donald Wong, left, hangs out with U.S. Army veteran and World War II hero Frederick “Pat” Walor, 94, last September, during the Veterans/Military Appreciation Day at World Series Park. Wong (R-Saugus) said in an interview this week that veterans issues will continue to be a top priority as he seeks a fifth two-year term in the state House of Representatives.

Business Partnership [Feb. 4, 2003] way before I became a politician.

Q: You have worked on a lot of veterans-type legislation.

And Francisco Ureña, the Massachusetts Secretary of Veterans Services, calls you a big advocate for veterans in the state.

Please, tell me a little bit about recent veterans legislation you have been working on.

A: I filed a bill that would allow any city or town to adopt a monument for veterans. And the legislation is set up so that people can donate for the maintenance and repair of veterans monuments when they go to pay their excise or real estate tax.

I see a lot of monuments where moss is growing on the marble stones or where the monuments are in disrepair. If the bill passes, people can donate to a fund that would help

repair these monuments and memorials without using taxpayers’ money. On the bottom of the excise tax or real estate tax bill, there would be a box to check off where people can donate to help fix the monuments in their town. If we had that, before the end of the year, we could go to the businesses and ask if they need a tax write-off.

The businesses would be able to donate more than individuals. This is for everyone.

Another thing I’m proud of is my support for firefighters and law enforcement, and last year I was able to get $25,000 for the Saugus Fire Department and another $25,000 for the police in Saugus. The firefighters had a situation where it would take 48 hours for their clothes to dry after a fire. With the $25,000, the Fire Department is able to get a special drier that can dry the clothes within 24 hours.

BASEBALL SURPRISES By the Old Sachem, Bill Stewart

B

et you have never heard of Mamie Johnson. In 1943 Philip K. Wrigley had a large stadium with its associated costs of maintenance in Chicago. He needed a way to cover these costs so he developed the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPB). The teams were all in the Midwest near Chicago so the teams could travel by bus. It was not feminism giving women a chance to play, it was strictly a temporary cash solution until the players returned from World War II. The first year was strictly softball but after that they played a modified form of baseball with a ball 12 inches in circumference (baseballs are 9 and ¼ inches).

The pitcher’s mound was the softball distance, 40 feet, and the bases were 65 feet apart.

The uniforms were belted, short sleeve tunic dresses worn no more than 6 inches above the

knee. During spring training the girls were required to attend evening charm school, to learn etiquette, personal hygiene, mannerisms and dress code. Each player was given a beauty kit with instructions on usage. The first-year salaries were $45 to $85 a month which in today’s dollars would be about $636 to $1,202.

These were the enticements of Mamie “Peanut” Johnson.

Mamie was born September 27, 1935, in Ridgeway, South Carolina, and died December 19, 2017. She tried out two consecutive years for teams in the AAGPB, but was turned down both years because she was black. When she could not play in the women’s professional league, she turned to the Negro Leagues. She was the first woman to play in men’s professional baseball, starting with the Indianapolis Clowns.

As a youngster she developed a yearning for baseball – using tree limbs for bats, plates for bases and rocks covered in tape for balls. She developed a strong

leagues were integrating black players, and the Negro Leagues were in decline, so the owners were looking for fresh ideas to bring fans to their games. A scout for Indianapolis had seen Mamie pitch and brought her to a tryout in Washington. The Clowns had recently hired two other women, Toni Stone and Connie Morgan, and signed Mamie up. During that season the team often had to sleep on the bus because hotels would not take them in. Her greatest joy was striking out male batters and she excelled at that. She began attending school in the offseason to learn nursing.

She returned to baseball in 1954, playing 150 games in the three seasons. There she ran into Satchel Paige, who returned to the Negro Leagues after retiring from MLB. He worked with her to improve her curve ball which augmented her blazing fastball. Over this time she won 33 games, lost eight and had a batting average of 270. Pay was

right arm throwing rocks at birds, and that led to an exceptional fastball. Her family moved to New Jersey in 1945, and she began competing in softball but got discouraged by the slowness of the game. She was used to the faster game of baseball, playing with boys in South Carolina. She tried out and was selected to an all-white boys’ team in the Long Branch Police Athletic Club, the only black and only girl on the team. Her fastball won two division championships for Long Branch.

In 1947 her family moved to Washington, D.C., and she began playing semipro ball for two local black male teams in a recreational baseball league: the Alexandria All-Stars and the St. Cyprians near her house.

After marriage and having a son, she was working in an ice TTT Nick LA_SA_LPW.ai 1 1/3/2018 12:01:30 PM cream shop and pitching on the weekends. By now the big

not good in the Negro Leagues.

Salaries were $400 to $700 a month. She decided she would never break into the major leagues and retired from baseball to raise her son. She graduated from college and became a Licensed Practical Nurse.

She also coached youth baseball. She was honored by the Clintons at the White House as a female baseball legend, and she later received the Mary McLeod Bethune Continuing Legacy Award. Her life’s story came out in a book in 2003, “A Strong Right Arm.”In 2005 a one-woman show about her life, “Change Up,” was premiered at Brown University, and she was invited by Washington, D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams to join him at the first game of the Washington Nationals.

She was not the only women to compete against men in baseball – Ila Borders, Jackie Mitchell, Connie Morgan, Toni Stone, Alta Weiss, Eri Yoshida and Tiffany Brooks come to mind. More about them in future columns.

SNOWSTORM | from page 2 about 10 degrees when the blizzard was out. Can’t get much worse than this,” Hughes said.

He noted that a wind-driven tidal storm surge peaked at 11.95 feet at 12:40 p.m. Thursday of last week on the day of the storm.

“Some of the houses have significant flooding in the basement and had their heating systems lost. The flood caused substantial damage,” Hughes said.

“I’m just glad nobody got killed,” said Hughes, who has spent more than 30 years in the fire service -- the last 26 in Saugus after he began his career in Malden.

“This was a tidal surge. This was a rare type of event. We had a few power outages and had to shut off the gas in a number of homes. The tide was higher than the storm in 1978,” he said.

Chief Newbury said he “extremely proud” of the way his department worked with closely with police, emergency service, utility crew, DPW work and other to respond in the wake of a fierce storm “I’m proud of the way the Fire, Police and EMS responded in a great team effort,”Newbury said.

“We had 30 to 50 houses flooded. We pulled the electricity to about eight houses and shut down about a dozen homes with gas, working with National Grid Gas and Electric,” he said.

Pre-storm preparation helped effort Chief Newbury credited the “pre-storm preparation,” that involved meeting between police, fire, emergency management personnel, public works, the building department and utility companies.

It was all hands on deck at the outset of the storm and the after-response.

“We had 22 people working.

We had people pumping base-

ments until midnight,” Newbury said.

“We had two firefighters on Rescue 1, pumping cellars on Thursday and Friday. Flooding was the Number One cause of damage in this storm,” he said.

Deputy Chief Thomas D’Eon, Jr. played a key role in coordinating the dispatchers and calling in resources as the storm progressed, according to Newbury.

Firefighters dressed in cold water suits, called “Mustang suits,” worked on the flooded streets throughout town.

Flooding forced closure of Hamilton Street, Ballard Street and Lincoln Avenue, Seagirt and Venice avenues, Bristow Street, Harlow Street, Harvard Avenue, Eastern Avenue, Houston Avenue, Spencer Avenue and Milton Street and Route 107.

Capt. Hughes said he was disappointed about the prevalence of “unnecessary traffic during the storm.”

“I ran across a couple of people stranded in a snowbank, but nothing serious. And, as far as I know, nobody got taken out of a flooded car,” Hughes said.

“But, I just wish people had heeded the warning and stayed home. There was a lot of unnecessary traffic out there. There was just no reason to be driving.

People who were stuck in snowbanks were out joyriding.

“They told us they were out to see what it was like, what was going on.

Storm-related police calls

Editor’s Note: The following are highlights from the Police Department dispatchers in incidents related to the Jan. 4 storm.

10:35 a.m. 595 Broadway, officer stops car and give warning to driver for failure to remove snow from vehicle. Officer assisted with removing snow from windows and sending driver away with warning.

11:59 a.m., 6 Vine St. @ 104 Main St., police report vehicles unable to get up slight incline by the set of lights.

12:27 p.m., 855 Broadway, vehicle stuck on the sidewalk in the area.

3:34 p.m., 5 Westland Ave., four motor vehicles stuck on the hill.

4:20 p.m. 50 Hamilton St., hazardous road conditions reported in the area of Polo Gas station.

5:40 p.m., 16 Granite Road, caller reports wires down across her car and on the ground.

But they were out there in very bad conditions. With wind, poor visibility and slick conditions,” he said.

Capt. Hughes marveled at the overall response in Saugus in the face of challenging circumstances.

“Although there was substantial property damage, nobody was seriously injured and there was no loss of life,” he said.

s a result of requests to donate to World Series Park, a “Wall of Fame” will be erected on the building. This will be a permanent plaque that will list the names of people who make a minimum donation of $100. Donations can also be made in honor of others or in memory of past loved ones. Since World Series Park is a publicly supported facility, it seems appropriate to honor individuals, businesses and organizations that are willing to offer their support to help to continue to provide a firstclass place to play baseball in Saugus.

“Recently we’ve had several requests from people, saying they’d like to make a donation to the park,” said Bob Davis, superintendent of World Series Park.

“In light of the August 2017 vandalism, necessitating the need for a new, costly security system and the complete renovation of the infield project, we’ve had to expend a great deal of funds. We, therefore, would certainly appreciate any donations that will help to maintain and improve the park. The Wall of Fame will provide a way to show our ap-

REELECTION | from page 1 The Saugus Advocate.

“Like always, I want to work with [in local government] whoever wants to work with me. My hands are always open to help people in my district. I spend a lot of my time working on issues to help law enforcement, firefighters, veterans, seniors and education,” he said.

The Saugus Republican said he intends to make a formal announcement next month or in March. Corinne Riley, who was his campaign manager two years ago, will oversee his campaign again, according to Wong.

Precincts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in Saugus make up the core of the district, which also includes parts of Lynn and Wakefield.

Two years ago, district voters reelected Wong over Democratic challenger Jen Migliore. Wong won all eight Saugus precincts and each of the four precincts in Wakefield. Migliore avoided a total shutout by beating Wong in Precincts 1 and 2 in Lynn’s Ward 1.

No candidates have formally announced in the Ninth Essex House District race yet. However, there is speculation among political observers that Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta is considering a possible run for Wong’s House seat. And some Wong supporters consider her a viable candidate because of her town-wide popularity.

When pressed for comment, Panetta wouldn’t confirm or deny the reports. “That’s interesting ...... curious who you heard this from,” Panetta wrote in an email to The Saugus Advocate.

Panetta was a candidate for the State House seat in 2004, losing in the Democratic Primary to then-state Rep. Mark V. Falzone, 2,437 to 1,677.

last week’s storm. It was just too cold for them, according to Luana Majevski.

“But today’s really good. It’s a little warmer so the kids aren’t freezing,” she said of the temperatures that hovered around the mid-30’s even with the sun setting.

Stacey Guarino, vice president of the Veterans Memorial Elementary School PTO, said she and her children have very fond memories of what Radassah and Jose experienced this week. “The hill at the Vets is very popular for the kids to sled at. Kids have been sledding for years there,” Guarino told The Saugus Advocate.

“We have been going there for about six years to sled. It is a great place to sled because it is small but wide enough to fit a lot of the kids at one time to go down,” Guarino said. “It is also good because it doesn’t empty the kids out into the street. It is fenced in and there is not anything to interrupt their sledding by getting in the way of them going down the hill.”

The new playground equipment that was erected at the school site last year is a major draw for kids from the neighborhood – and many others, including children from surrounding communities. But with the recent snowfall that created the sledding conditions, the hill was the major attraction for Radassah and Jose and the other kids who happened to stop by.

Lady Sachems basketball team dominates Tanners, 51-36

By Julian Cardillo

T

he Saugus girls’ basketball team continues to put up complete team wins. They demonstrated that tendency again on Tuesday night as they beat Peabody, 51-36. Peabody put Saugus in an early hole, going up 10-4, but the Sachems rallied and turned the tables

quickly.

“Really good team game,”said Saugus coach Mark Schruender.

“That’s been the case a few times this season. After the slow start, we just called a timeout and the kids picked it up.”

Saugus ended the first quarter up 18-13 and carried a 27-20 lead into halftime.

Alessia Salzillo was the team’s

leading scorer with 17 points.

Rachel Nazzaro buried three three-point shots and had nine points on the night; Alana Aldred also chipped in nine.

“Our depth gives us a big advantage; we play everyone on our team,” Schruender said. “I don’t mind too much if we get into individual foul trouble, either – just the team fouls because we don’t want the other team going to the free throw line. It’s entirely possible someone on our bench is having the best night scoring-wise. That means it’s okay for one player to have an off-night.”

The Sachems are now 4-2 on the season and face a long drive up to Gloucester for their next game. Last year the Sachems beat the Fishermen by

last-second goal. Marblehead had a 2-0 lead and were up a goal and a player in the final minute. But Saugus coach Jeff Natalucci took a gamble and pulled the goalie to level the field.

With 14 seconds left on the clock, Nick Moore tipped a CJ Graffeo shot into the back of the net to equalize. “Really crazy finish,” Natalucci said.

“It would have been easier for our guys to pack it in, but they showed some real adversity …

It was very back and forth, but we didn’t quit. At that point, we just wanted to make it an even five-on-five. We took a chance with an empty net and tried to get it even. Nick went to the area in front of the net and got a big goal for us.”

Drew Worthly scored his first career goal to put Saugus within one.

The Sachems are now 4-3-2 on the season.

A date with Danvers on Saturday afternoon comes next for the Sachems. “They’re the team that everyone in division two is talking about,” said Natalucci.

“We’ll have our work cut out for us. We need to bring it for the full 45 minutes.”

THE SOUNDS OF SAUGUS

By Mark Vogler

H

ere are a few tidbits that you might want to know about this week in Saugus.

What am I, “Spam”?!

I try not to take life too seriously, especially when the halls of government treat me like “Spam” – that is “junk email” – and not the kind of spam you cook in a frying pan and serve up to eat.

I got a nice email yesterday from Kate Evans, the communications specialist and administrative aide in the town manager’s office, who felt bad that a well-wishing email I sent her last week wound up in her computer spam folder. “Not sure why my computer thinks your spam!” Kate quipped in an email to me. “Anyway, I wanted to apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!”

Well, it’s the thought that counts, right?

Computers want to replace people. But what the heck do they know about humans?

About the Panetta speculation I wasn’t planning on doing a political story this week about who was running for the Ninth Essex House District seat. Or who might be considering a run.

During my travels around Saugus this week, about six people whom I called about possible story leads said they heard Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta was considering a run for state Rep. Donald Wong’s seat. And some of the people I talked to were Wong supporters. Some of the others were Democrats.

Right now, as far as I’m concerned, it’s political speculation. I have no way of knowing whether Madam Chair is considering it or not.

If she is entertaining such thoughts, she’s not confirming it. But she’s also not denying it. And even if she’s not a candidate at the moment, I would think she is pretty flattered about being talked about as a potential candidate.

Stay tuned, as the political rumor mill heats up and speculation either becomes reality or turns out to be nothing more than unsubstantiated rumor. But reporting on speculative reports is part of the business of reporting on politics.

One of the people I talked to even had Panetta considering a write-in candidacy for Tommy McGee’s vacant Senate seat. But I seriously doubt there’s much chance of that happening.

How to weigh in on Wheelabrator Do you have concerns – pro or con – that you would like to express about Wheelabrator Technologies, Inc.’s plans to expand its ash landfill near the trash-to-energy plant on Route 107?

Well, today (Friday, Jan. 12) by 5 p.m. is your last chance to weigh in on Wheelabrator. It’s your last opportunity to submit comments to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. The state is currently accepting feedback on a provisional decision to approve Wheelabrator’s expansion. Information about the permit and where to submit comments is available at https://www.mass. gov/service-details/wheelabrator-saugus-inc-ash-landfill-saugus.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SNOW This just in from the Town Manager’s Office: “With the anticipated heavy rains today (Friday, Jan. 12) and recently experienced snow events, the Town of Saugus asks for your assistance in clearing snow and other debris from catch basins and other drainage infrastructure. This will result in stormwater runoff entering the stormwater collection system as quick as possible and reduce the likelihood of flooding or ponding of water on the roadways.

“We thank you in advance for your assistance. If you have any questions on this issue, please contact the Saugus Department of Public Works at 781-231-4145.”

Trash/Recycling running on one-day holiday delay The Town of Saugus announced that the trash and recycling collection will run on a one-day delay from Tuesday (Jan. 16) through next Saturday (Jan. 20) due to the observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. There will be no collection on Monday (Jan. 15), due to the holiday. Services will resume on a one-day delay from Tuesday, Jan. 16, through Saturday, Jan. 20. Residents whose collection day falls on Monday will be collected on Tuesday. Collection will continue to run on a one-day delay for the remainder of the week.

The compost site will be open on Saturday, Jan. 20 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Town of Saugus would like to thank everyone for their cooperation. Please contact Solid Waste/Recycling Coordinator Lor-

Sachems boys’ hoops team falls to Peabody

By Julian Cardillo

P

eabody took down the Saugus boys’ basketball team without too much trouble on Tuesday, beating the Sachems, 61-43. But Sachems coach Mark Bertrand said the actual contest was closer than the final score suggests.

“We had a rough second quarter; they really turned the heat up on us,” Bertrand said. “We raced to get it within 10 in the third, and near the end of the game both teams put their subs in. I think their subs just shot better when they come on the court … It was a good close game. The

kids played hard every minute.

I’m never happy with a loss, but I was happy with the effort.”

Christian Correia led Saugus, scoring 15 points; Vincent Cirame had nine; Mike Mabee had eight. Bertrand also singled out the efforts of his two big men on the court: Kenny Okoye (eight rebounds) and Jake Morgante (strong defending off the bench).

The Sachems, now 1-4, play Gloucester tonight and look for their second win of the season.

“It’ll be a tough game, they’re very well-coached,” said Bertrand of the Fishermen. “It’s a city like us: blue collar, hard-

working.”

Bertrand’s assistant, Bill Cahill, coached at Gloucester for the last 26 years. Cahill is helping the Sachems prepare for a tough test against his former team. “[Former coach] Paul Moran invited Bill down at the end of last season; they’re longtime friends,” said Bertrand. “Even with coach Moran stepping away, Bill has been a standup guy and has said he’s here to stay … Gloucester has four good shooters, a few football players and athletes. That’s good talent. It’ll really be a dogfight. We know our kids are good at battling, too.”
