company with plans of building a LongHorn Steakhouse at the current location of Sears Automotive near the Square One Mall sought an early transfer of a liquor license before it closes the deal on the property and moves forward on construction plans.

“They need to secure the liquor license before they start their permits and construction,” Attorney Joseph H. Devlin told selectmen Wednesday night in advocating for Rare Hospitality International, Inc., a Delaware corporation seeking the liquor license transfer.

“The ABCC [Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission] is fine with it. If it doesn’t come to fruition, this is a license that would have to be turned back in,” Devlin said.

But Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree called the request “premature” and suggested that Devlin return to the board “in a month or so” with more information for selectmen to consider.

Selectmen shared Crabtree’s concerns and voted, 5-0, to delay the public hearing on the requested license transfer until the board’s Sept. 12 meeting. In making that motion, Selectman Jeffrey Cicolini suggested the board request Devlin to have representatives of the liquor license seller as well as the landlord available to answer questions.

Rare Hospitality is requesting the transfer of the liquor license from New Ki-Ku-Ya Inc., doing business as Sake Japanese Restaurant at 670 Broadway, to a new location at 1325

Broadway, Unit 1. Rare Hospitality said it’s purchasing the license for $250,000. It plans to build the LongHorn Steakhouse in the space provided by the landlord for nearly $3 million, according to documents provided to the town.

The applicant is funding the purchase of the license and the construction from operational revenue of Darden Restaurants, Inc. The company also has a $750 million credit revolver.

Selectmen share concerns Company plans call for an opening at the end of 2019 with construction set to begin in the spring or summer of next year.

Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta noted that LongHorn Steakhouse is a wellknown franchise. “The only question I have: Is it premature to transfer a liquor license before you are actually building?”

Panetta said.

That prompted a quick response from Crabtree, who answered “I would say it is.”

To that, Devlin said the company has the backing of the ABCC and didn’t see it as a problem.

“Whatever goes on with the ABCC is different than what goes on in Saugus,” Crabtree said.

“We’ve been through this before. We’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars,” the town manager said, referring to problems when some of the town’s previous Boards of Selectmen had approved a liquor license transfer for projects that didn’t materialize.

t was a special night when an appearance by three invited guests – all of them Saugus firefighters who were recognized for putting their lives on the line – overshadowed everything else that happened at the Board of Selectmen’s meeting.

“Right now is one of the proudest days of my career,” Saugus Fire Chief Michael Newbury told the audience that crowded into the second-floor auditorium at Saugus Town Hall Wednesday night. Newbury noted that actions of the three firefighters at two fires last month exemplified “the highest tradition of the Saugus Fire Department.”

Selectmen presented citations for “Heroic actions that saved a life of a Saugus Resident” to Lt. William E. Cross III and Firefighter Anthony Arone for their courageous response to a two-alarm fire in an apartment building at 7 Falmouth St. on the night of July 25.

The smoke was so thick – from the floor to the ceiling – that Cross and Arone had to crawl into the apartment. Their thermal imaging device failed to determine whether any-

one was inside. But when the firefighters heard somebody coughing on the kitchen floor, they acted quickly to drag the semiconscious victim to safety and were later credited with saving the man’s life.

Firefighter Michael Leary also received a citation for “Heroic actions” during an early evening kitchen fire on July 29 in an apartment at 103 Essex St. A resident who fled the building told firefighters that a dog remained inside. Leary located the dog upstairs and carried it to safety.

He turned it over to a veterinarian technician who lived nearby. The technician used a Fire Department mask made for administering oxygen to pets. Meanwhile, Leary went back into the building to rescue another dog.

In addition to the commendations presented to the three firefighters, Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree administered the oath of office to newly appointed Lt. Cross during a swearing-in ceremony wit-

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 17, 2018

~THE ADVOCATE ASKS~ Supervisory Park Ranger Curtis White discusses his three decades at the Saugus Iron Works Editor’s Note: For this week’s interview, we sat down with Curtis White, Supervisory Park Ranger at Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site. We asked him to talk about the waterwheels and share his perspective as somebody who has worked at the Iron Works for 32 years. White, a Beverly native and a 1977 graduate of Beverly High School, has been fascinated by the Saugus Iron Works since childhood when he read the 1957 book “Ironworks on the Saugus.” His interest in blacksmithing and the Saugus Iron Works National Historical Site paved the way for a job at the site, and his responsibilities have expanded over the years.

He is married with two grown children. His son, Nate, has followed in his father’s footsteps in going to work for the National Park Service. He gets to work on the waterwheels as a maintenance worker at the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site.

Some highlights of this week’s interview follow.

Q: So, you have been here 32 years, Curtis?

A: Yes. Since Patriots’ Day, 1987.

Q: And please tell me a little bit about how you arrived here.

A: I had been blacksmithing for probably six or seven years, I guess, and I actually read about this place. I read “Ironworks on the Saugus” when I was a fifth grade in school. And most people say that’s a dry thing to read, but I kind of enjoyed it. And I thought, “Wow, this is really a cool place. This really exists someplace.” But I didn’t have any relationship with it.

Even though I grew up on the North Shore, I didn’t connect Saugus with the Iron Works.

And then I was reading “Colonial Homes Magazine” in 1980 when I saw that this place was here. And I thought, “Wow. That’s pretty interesting.” So, I got to go immediately to the place. So, the next weekend I had off, I was here, checking “We have Ibeen “When first with sawAdult Foster Care of theI North Grace, I knew Shore for over five years. wanted to open They have been there my home to her. for us through thick Now, we love to and thin.

the place out, so I connected with the blacksmith who was here at the time. And I hung out in the wintertime down in the blacksmith’s shop, and I had a chance to learn some things from him. He’s a real knowledgeable guy on practical blacksmithing for certain. Then I had a job blacksmithing, and it so happened that the blacksmith who was here got a job and showed up a week after I was at that other blacksmithing place, so I got to work with him a little while again, and then I realized, “Oh, there might be an opening there at the Iron Works.” And I guess I was kind of persistent, repetitious; I really pursued coming here. And I called, and the government has a pretty extensive process in order to come on board. And I was just persistent. I just wanted to show that I had interest in the job and working here.

The ideas that I had about the job were maybe a little bit naive. I’m not sure that’s the right word, but I saw it as blacksmithing straight out and talking to people, which are things that I

like to do, but it became more than that later on.

Q: During your 32 years, how many tours do you figure you have done in this park?

A: Things have changed a lot – I’ve done a lot of tours in all different kinds of ways. The first two years I was here, I spent almost all of my time in the blacksmith’s shop, talking to people as they came through, operating the waterwheels. And I had a job for a while with maintenance, and that was about 10 years: repairing the waterwheels and running the waterwheels every time we had a tour; making sure that people stayed safe and that all of

augus author Tom Sheehan, in concert with Pocol Press of Virginia, announces the release of his newest book, “Catch a Wagon to the Stars,” a collection of western stories. The publisher advised to “Ride along shotgun with prolific author Tom Sheehan as he blazes new western tales across the prairie. In this collection, his seventh with Pocol Press, Sheehan pens moralistic short stories brimming with frothy beverages imbibed at a local saloon, passionate revenge, romantic sequences, and plenty of gunplay.”

Sheehan is the author of fine westerns, including “The Nations,”“Beside the Broken Trail,” “Where Skies Grow Wide,”“The

Cowboys,” “Cross Trails” and “Between Mountain and River.” He is a 1947 Saugus High School graduate and a 1956 Boston College graduate, after military service in Korea (195052). “Now comes this memorable effort on my part, in my 91st year, to write the 29 stories in ‘Catch a Wagon to the Stars,’ one of those ‘keep me going traits’ the elderly depend on for daily sustenance,” he said.

He has published 35 books, has multiple works in “Literally Stories” (UK), “Rosebud,”“Linnet’s Wings” (Ireland), “Rope & Wire Magazine,” “Green Silk Journal,”“Faith Hope & Fiction,” etc., and he has 33 Pushcart nominations.

Town manager calls traffic safety improvements “a top priority”

By Mark E. Vogler

A

re you afraid of speeding cars and reckless drivers every time you go out for your exercise walk?

Worried about your children or grandchildren getting hit in the crosswalk or on the side of the road when walking to and from school?

Or, are you genuinely frustrated about drivers who don’t obey the speed limit or the lack of signs posting the speed limit?

If you are concerned about the town taking steps to improve traffic safety, Town

Manager Scott C. Crabtree and the Board of Selectmen want to hear from you.

“We all agree there could be more done,” Crabtree said at Wednesday night’s meeting of the Board of Selectmen.

He called it “a top priority” of his office to make the streets safer for all residents.

“We’re trying to take a comprehensive look at the entire town. … We definitely need improvements,” the town manager acknowledged. He said he’s interested in hearing from any citizen on any current traffic safety concerns and recommendations on

SELECTMEN | from page 1 “My only concern and fear is the transfer of a license and something breaks down,” Crabtree said.

“This deal doesn’t happen unless they can secure a liquor license … That’s just the way Darden is,” Devlin responded.

He was referring to Darden Restaurants, Inc., a publicly traded company that has over 490 other LongHorn Steakhouse restaurants in other parts of the United States and owns more than 1,500 affiliated restaurant locations across the United States under several different concepts. Darden owns 100 percent of GMRL, Inc., which owns Rare Hospitality International, Inc. Selectman Scott Brazis said he has concerns about some potential problems that could

compromise the project after Sears Auto Center is torn down.

“What if somebody finds out the soil is contaminated?” Brazis asked.

“It’s an automotive store. I don’t know if gas has leaked in … I’m not trying to be difficult,” he said.

Panetta noted that somebody would have to pay outstanding real estate taxes before a liquor license were issued.

Close to $21,000 for the 2018 fiscal year was owed in real estate taxes for 670 Broadway – the address of the current liquor license holder – as of Aug. 9, according to town records.

An additional $5,000-plus is owed for the 2019 fiscal year that began July 1.

how to make the streets safer for everyone. In fact, Crabtree has asked the Saugus Police Department to research the matter and develop their own recommendations for improving traffic safety.

Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta told him she appreciated his decision to seek recommendations from the Police Department – a suggestion that selectmen had made previously.

Crabtree said he is in favor of increased enforcement of traffic violations by police on the main roads on a regular basis. “We need to have

Healthy students – healthy Saugus!

The Saugus United Parish Food Pantry – in collaboration with the Saugus Faith Community, the Saugus School Superintendent and area businesses and organizations – is running a new initiative called “Healthy Students – Healthy Saugus,” which aims to address food insecurity in the Saugus public school

system.

In 2014 “Feeding America” published the “Hunger in America” report, which drew attention to the fact that 15.8 million children nationwide live in food insecure households. As a community we recognize there are children and families in Saugus who could use our help. To offset food insecure households, Healthy Students – Healthy Saugus will provide a weekend supply of nutritious food for every eligible child when school lunches and breakfasts are unavailable to them on weekends or school holidays during the school year.

Take-home grocery bags will contain two breakfasts, two lunches, two snacks, one can of vegetables and one can of fruit. All food will be nonperishable and provided to children free of charge. If additional food is needed for extended family members, it will be provided. It is our hope these resources will support the health, behavior and achievement of every student who participates. Parents will apply for the program by filling out a simple consent form.

The program will be run by the School Department’s current food service provider, Whitsons Food Service, and many wonderful volunteers who will be packing the food bags. On Thursdays, Whitsons will deliver food and grocery bags to each volunteer site, where the bags will be packed

then picked up by Whitsons on Fridays and delivered to the schools for students to take home. The program will begin first at the elementary schools and, if the need arises, will be expanded to the upper grades. The school district will use the utmost discretion in identifying students and working with families to ensure the grocery bags make it home with minimal barriers.

The aim of Healthy Students – Healthy Saugus is to keep children healthy, thriving and able to succeed in school.

Area businesses and organizations supporting this effort are Whitsons Food Service, Rotary Club of Saugus, Wheelabrator Saugus and Saugus Public Schools. Packing sites are St. John’s Episcopal Church, Blessed Sacrament/St. Margaret’s Catholic Churches, Cliftondale Church of the Nazarene, First Congregational Church UCC and First Baptist Church. A weekly schedule of which sites volunteers can go to will be published soon as well as the official start date sometime in September.

Monetar y donations of any size, large and small, are needed. Each one will help feed a hungry child. Please send checks made out to Saugus Clergy Association, with “Healthy Students – Healthy Saugus” in the memo line, c/o First Congregational Church

Saugus woman charged with prescription medication theft from elderly man in her care (Editor’s Note: This information is based on a press release issued by the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office.)

O

n August 9, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan announced that Rebecca Bowman, 37, of Saugus, was

arraigned last week in Middlesex Superior Court and charged with larceny of a drug, caretaker abuse and possession of a Class B substance in connection with an alleged theft of prescription medication from an elderly man in her care.

Clerk Magistrate Matthew

Day released the defendant on personal recognizance and ordered her to refrain from working with the elderly and having contact with the alleged victim.

The next scheduled hearing in this case is September 20.

In December of 2016 the defendant began working as

a visiting nurse for a 70-yearold man in Lincoln. The defendant would come to his home three times a week and treat him in his bedroom. He had been prescribed oxycodone pills to alleviate his pain.

Reportedly, in April 2017 he began to notice that his pain medication pills were disappearing and that by the end of the month he had fewer pills than he should have; as a result he experienced extreme pain. In December 2017 he began to suspect the defendant. On two occasions, following the defendant’s visits to the home, he counted his pills before the defendant arrived and after she departed. Allegedly, he discovered that after the defendant left some of his prescription pills were gone. He then notified police.

On January 3, 2018, police set up a surveillance camera in the man’s room and counted the number of pills in his possession prior to the defendant’s visit. After the defendant left, police allegedly discovered that 14 of his prescription pills were missing.

Video surveillance allegedly showed the defendant opening the pill bottle and remov-

ing the medication while the alleged victim was not in the room.

The prosecutor assigned to this case is Assistant District Attorney Kristen Noto. The Victim Witness Advocate is Joseph Bernstein.

As part of her county-wide initiative to raise awareness about the risks and impacts of the opioid crisis for seniors, District Attorney Ryan launched the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office’s Grandparent Program in 2016. This program educates seniors in Middlesex County about how to manage their prescription medication, keep medication safe from theft, properly dispose of unused or expired medication and identify signs of drug addiction in loved ones. District Attorney Ryan, who previously chaired the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office’s Elder Protection Unit, developed this program recognizing that the impact of the opioid crisis on seniors is extensive and that seniors are often the most vulnerable secondary victims of the opioid epidemic.

the machinery was maintained.

And I also worked on some of the repairs of the various buildings here – the bridges and clapboards on the sides of the buildings – just a variety of jobs.

Depending upon what position I was in at any one time, it changed what my duties were, so there was a lot of maintenance opportunities that I really enjoyed doing.

Q: It sounds like Mr. Versatility.

A: Yeah, it’s been that way over the years. Yep. Q: So, you’re the “jack of all trades” guy at the Saugus Iron Works.

A: Yeah, I think so, but I have enjoyed it and have learned a lot from being here, certainly.

And looking at the archeological materials that are here, it’s so fascinating to see what people were doing in the 17th Century. It’s just amazing.

Q: So, you had come here and visited this place before you went to work here.

A: Yep. And after my grandfather passed away, I was looking at slides, and I know he was here in the 60s when the place first opened. He was fascinated with the place, too.

Q: Now, was your grandfather a ranger?

A: No. He worked for United Shoe, most of his career in Beverly. He was a tool and die maker there.

Q: But he did some blacksmithing?

A: No. He just came here and visited here because he was fascinated with the place, too, when it first opened. It’s pretty amazing to think that this nationally-important – Congress set this place aside. It started right here in Saugus – the history of the United States. The conscious foresight of the founders in the 1600s.

Q: It’s kind of a unique National Park, right here in the neighborhood.

A: Yeah. When I first started here, people would stop by on their way to the airport, or something like that, and said “I saw the signs and I had to visit.” And I remember, there was a debate as to whether or not this was a destination park, or just some place that people came upon.

Q: Like an unplanned side trip.

A: Yeah. And, as it turns out, I think this is a destination park.

Things have changed since I have been here. When I first started, there was a film that was produced in the 1950s. I think they called it “The Saugus Ironworks Restoration” or something like that; I’m not sure I have the right title. When I was in high school, I used to get the films and return them and set them up for people. The

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 17, 2018 same thing when I started here; there were these 16mm films boxes that had to be sent out to teachers all over the country. And then they would put them back in the box and put the postage on it and we’d get them back again – so much for the streaming kind of thing you would do today. But those people that were from Arizona, California or the Midwest or Ohio or Indiana – the teachers that had been in their careers for all that length of time that they worked – this was like a shrine. They would come here to see Saugus Iron Works and where the iron and steel industries began. And a lot of that has changed for the reasons that people come here since then. But this was a destination park for those kinds of people when I first started here. And now Eastern National has this Passport Program, where they try to get everybody interested in all of the National Parks, so most of the parks become a destination for most people that visit now, but we’ve had a really good amount of visitation because of that, so people are here because they want to see … “Well, what’s the Iron Works all about?” This is how people are connecting to their national history and their national story. Whatever park it happens to be, this little passport book thing just connects them with it.

Q: What’s the neatest thing you know about Saugus Iron Works?

A: It comes from some of the research that I’ve done. When I first started here, my impression was that these blacksmiths and ironworkers, foundry people, forge workers would just kind of just dump stuff into the furnace and hope it came out okay at the bottom. It wasn’t that way at all. These people were specifically recruited for the skills that they had and that they knew how to do.

They could take ores from various places … read the ores, understand the ores and process them in a controlled fashion to produce a desired result, so these people were incredibly skilled at what they did.

And they were the right people to recruit in order to get over here, so even the managers in England were able to direct the management here to produce certain types of work for certain situations and just to make for better management out of the whole place, so those skills, once they got here, were sort of taught to other people that came to the Iron Works and then perpetuated through generations in order to create an American iron and steel industry, again through here.

This place also has a sister site that predates this place a little bit, which you know as Fur-

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON: Nate White, a maintenance worker at the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site, has developed a deep love and interest for the massive waterwheels, just like his dad, Supervisory Park Ranger Curtis White. He said the favorite part of his job is keeping the waterwheels in motion and building them if necessary.

nace Brook Parkway in Quincy, so that was part of this original company that was set up in the 1640s, in order to make iron here.

Q: Share a few tidbits that a lot of folks don’t know about, including your colleagues. In the course of over 30 years, you know where all the nooks and crannies are. Right?

A: Yeah. Pretty much. I know a lot of them. I think we have a fantastic archeological collection. There’s an exhibit in the museum there, which we had to move, and then when we had the museum rebuilt to give a better storage space for it … there’s a whole waterwheel section in there. And in what’s called the hutch. That would have kept the dirt from collapsing around the waterwheel, but when you look at this waterwheel, when we were moving it and moving the camera around in different lights and everything, in order to see what the best angle was – we wanted to make sure we had good photographs before we moved it in case anything got damaged in the process of moving it. And in the process of moving the lights and everything, we found a place on the waterwheel where a carpenter in the 1640s had taken his scribe and laid a mark out there where the nails were going to go to hold that waterwheel together. And it’s just so cool to think of this carpenter holding the tool and building the work, and he makes this one line down there sometime in the 1640s. And through all of

the 300-plus years of burial in the ground, and so forth, that line and those lines are still visible for that particular moment in time. I just find that really impressive. We’ve also got other pieces of clay that were used for probably making molds and so forth, plugs that would have been used in some of the iron ladles, and so forth, that have fingerprints of the ironworkers in them from where they slapped a piece of clay in there, and their fingerprints are embedded in the piece of clay.

And it’s buried in the ground.

So you have all of these personal kinds of connections to things.

And I always say – in my particular case – I didn’t know this until probably about eight years ago: that I had this great-, great-, great-, great-grandfather that worked here as an apprentice. And one of the few things that they found in the archeology in 1952 that actually had initials on it … were the initials of my great-, great-, great-, great-grandfather from a stamp marking tools and things that he made.

Q: What was his name?

A: William Curtis. It’s where I get my first name from, I think – from actually way back. It’s not from him directly, but it’s through the generations.

Q: And what year would that have been?

A: 1654. We know that there were three letters that exist where he was trying to get a job with John Winthrop, Jr. in Connecticut, and that didn’t work out, apparently, but he

was here in 1654. And in one of the letters that he wrote himself to John Winthrop, Jr. – saying that he was an apprentice to Joseph Jenks, who was living with him, somewhere on the property or on the property as it was at the time.

Q: Do you have the letter?

A: The letter is in the Massachusetts Historical Society archives. There are three of them there.

Q: So, you have read all three of them?

A: Yes. That stamp that I was telling you about. That’s what provoked the research into those letters. They found that in the archeology: that stamp. It’s a steel-faced stamp. It shows use of steel and wrought iron together, which was a common practice at the time. But it had those initials on it, so the historian in the project here went back and researched. He had definite connections to the Historical Society, so he found them in the Winthrop papers.

He sort of paraphrased them in the book he wrote, “Iron Works on the Saugus.” He didn’t say he got them there, but I knew he spent time in the Massachusetts Historical Society, so that’s where I went to try to track things down.

Q: Of the many rangers who have come and gone over the years, you are one who is actually rooted into the history of this place.

A: Yeah, but I didn’t know that until maybe eight or 10 years ago. I knew of other ones [personal connections], but even that was after I started here.

Q: So, you’ve got the great-, great-, great-grandfather.

A: I probably have at least five different 17th Century connections to this place. One was James Leonard, and he was a hammerman here. He went down to around Taunton. That family at around the time of the Revolution, they were kind of run out of town as loyalists. And that part of my family came back in the 1920s after being over there since 1783, in Canada. And then other parts of the family went up to Maine, and they were there for generations and came back down to Salem.

Q: So, members of your family over the centuries have lived right here in Saugus.

A: Well, just that one guy who lived here in 1654.

Q: William Curtis?

A: Yes. Q: What do you think is the most popular aspect of the park here?

A: I think it’s the waterwheels.

When all of the waterwheels are running, where else can you go and see seven working waterwheels? There’s no place.

When they did the archeology

ASKS | SEE PAGE 13

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 17, 2018

ASKS | from page 12

here, I think they found actual evidence of about three waterwheels, maybe four, so some of the ones that are down there, there’s speculation. They knew what some of the machinery was, so they tried to recalculate what those waterwheels might have looked like, but the blast furnace waterwheel is just incredible because we have the original stuff in the museum, and then this one is reproduced in exactly the same spot where the original was. That’s something you wouldn’t see in the Park Service today.

Q: So, all total, you’ve got seven waterwheels?

A: Yeah. There may have been nine or 10 here originally.

Q: And how often do you have all seven running at one time?

A: I’d say out of the 30 years that I have been here, there may have been two years total when all seven waterwheels worked, but I think we are going to get back to having most of the seven working. I think we have a pretty good plan of resources and a setup for feeding into the system. And I think it will become – like every couple of years, we’ll put in as part of a cyclical maintenance plan, another waterwheel. They won’t have to be totally broken in order to be reconstructed. I have a feeling that we’re going to be in pretty good shape for a while.

Q: Of the Rangers who work at the Iron Works, you have the most seniority?

A: If you are talking about time – yes. The only person who has been here longer than me is Dave Bogdan; he’s the only person who’s been here longer than me; he’s been here a lot longer than me, like 14 years longer than me. I think he started in ’74. He’s in maintenance.

Q: So, most of the people come here to see the waterwheels?

A: I don’t know if that is necessarily the case. I’d like to think it’s the case, maybe, when they leave. Because we don’t have them going all of the time, a lot of times we don’t push the fact that the waterwheels work. It’s more of a very pleasant surprise when people can see them. A lot of the reason people come here is because of those passport books, I think. And there are people who come here – not as much as in the past – but because it’s an ironworks. Things change, even from year to year. There are a couple of video games that are out there. One of them is called Fallout 4. One of them includes Saugus Iron Works. It doesn’t look anything like this, but it produces interest.

Q: There’s a video game on

the Saugus Iron Works?

A: It’s called Fallout 4, and one of the landmarks is the Iron Works. Anyway, there’s a lot of interaction between teenagers and their parents over building things. And this is a really good example of an opportunity for people to understand engineering in a basic, kind of functional form. It attracts a lot of people for good reasons.

Q: What does it entail to get the waterwheel going?

A: Well, when we do a tour and the waterwheel is working, we usually have to have a couple of people running the tour for safety purposes: One runs the waterwheels and watches out for people’s safety and the other one runs the door.

We have to coordinate to work together and decide what we are going to do at any point.

It’s really good when the Rangers work together and anticipate what’s going to happen.

It makes the waterwheels special, but all it comes down to is yanking on a rod and making things go. There’s timing issues and strength issues.

Q: It takes so many people to get the waterwheel going?

A: It’s generally only one person. It’s not especially skilled, but it takes some practice in order to make it work. And again, the coordination and how the Rangers work between themselves, I think is the real skill in what’s going on there.

Q: How many minutes does it take to get it going?

A: Oh, it only takes a couple of seconds to yank on it and the water comes out. Closing the gate sometimes is difficult.

It depends on which wheel it is.

Q: And once you get one going, you got all seven going?

A: No. We usually do them sequentially as we go through: one at a time. That way, we can keep an eye on the safety. We have to watch the entire park, because people get excited when they see a waterwheel working. And they kind of get attracted to it, so we want to make sure that our Rangers take the time to talk to people and tell them that it’s going to run and “come over here and join the tour.” That prevents people from running and twisting their ankles and not having the right instructions when it comes time to actually see the wheel.

Q: What’s the shelf life of one of those waterwheels?

A: I think it depends on which one it is. I would say about 14 to 15 years. The hammer wheel is probably about eight years, because it has a lot of torque when it’s going back and forth.

There’s a lot of force that goes on that really twists it.

Q: So, you have to replace it every eight years.

A: Yes. If every two years we replaced one of seven wheels,

we’d be in really good shape.

Q: So, you would try to keep the replacement schedule staggered?

A: Yes. Q: And what’s the ballpark, economically, and the time frame for replacing a waterwheel?

A: Typically, money doesn’t seem to be the issue; it’s more the resources themselves.

Where do we get a waterwheel shaft that big, like you see over there? Where do you get that kind of thing? And it has been that we go to National Forests. And I think it’s a great thing the United States has – in its Department of Agriculture – the resources to plant and harvest trees for the country’s use, so we have a specialist in maintenance who will go out and track down these trees with the Forest Service and load these things onto a truck.

Q: Any particular state?

A: I think we have gotten some from Maryland and Pennsylvania, mostly, recently.

Q: So, when you need a shaft, you get the lumber from a National Forest?

A: Yes. Q: So, what’s the logistics for providing the lumber for the waterwheel?

A: The most recent waterwheel that we put in, that tree was harvested in the 1990s.

I don’t know what the numbers are for the costs. Most of it comes from shipping: what it cost to get it physically from there to here. I don’t think the trees themselves cost us anything, but it’s all the work around turning the shafts. I know we go to Mystic Seaport and have that done. They have a giant lathe there that was built to make masts for liberty ships during World War II. Q: Do you have nicknames for these wheels?

A: No. We just refer to them in ways that we can pass on the name so that other people can reference them like the north and south slitting end wheel, so if you’re down there, you can figure out what that means – or the north or southeast forge wheel, the hammer wheel, the paddle wheel and the blast furnace wheel. Those are what we use as names, so it’s obvious to anyone who might come in and might be doing this work in the future, where it is. As long as they know where the blast furnace and other exhibits are, they can figure it out.

Q: So, the wheels are definitely a major attraction.

A: Oh yeah. When I started here, the waterwheels were all working. But there was a period in the 1970s when the waterwheels were not working.

One of the Rangers was giving a tour, and the paddlewheel just kind of blew apart – centrifugal force – it all kind

of fell apart, so from that day they shut it down, and over the course of the next three years, through the bicentennial, they reconstructed the waterwheels and they came back online. The effect of that in the 1970s was the Rangers were very descriptive of how the waterwheels, had they been working, would work, so by the 1980s, that description was still there. But it wasn’t necessary once we had the waterwheels working again. You just turn it on and you watch it, and you can figure out how it works. And you can take that time to explain other parts of the Iron Works.

Because looking at it, you can understand how things work, so an actual life experience is worth far more than a thousand words as far as that goes.

Q: Are there any old components of the waterwheels?

A: Like 17th Century? No. We do have what’s called the boyt.

It’s one of the pillows that the shaft sits in from the Joseph Jenks Shop. We have an original one from the 17th Century.

But that sort of stuff is in collections – things that we want to protect – so we don’t use them, but base some of the information off of that.

Q: During your 32 years here, what’s the most interesting visitor you’ve had?

A: I usually don’t like to talk about visitors. … One of my favorite things is learning from the engineers who come here and have had experiences in other places. Just a couple of weeks before I got married, a guy was here from Morwellham Quay. It was a tin mine in England. He said, “If you’re ever around, come and see me.” And I said, “Well, I’ll be there in a couple of weeks,” because that’s where I was going. And that was really fun: to get that tour of the tin mine in England; it was called Morwellham Quay.

But you get all kinds of people who have come through here – geologists who are interested – everybody has their interest in the place. And it’s really fun to share that with all of the people. I just like those conversations with other people that know and who are curious.

Q: People from all over the word.

A: Yep. Germany, China, France, Scandinavia, Canada.

Q: Scotland?

A: Scotland is kind of more recent. I did an interview one time in 2000 or 2001 with the BBC on the anniversary of the Scots Battle of Dunbar – on the 350th anniversary – so that was fun to do: to be on the BBC. Q: Anything else that you would like to share, from the perspective of somebody who has worked here for 32 years?

A: When I started here, it was kind of a place where I figured I could work here and do some

Page 13 blacksmithing. I don’t know if I really connected in the early years of how important this place was, until the mid-90s, when something came out that said the potential was that they could close this many parks across the board, so I wrote to find out “where did that number come from?” Because Saugus was on that list. And so I wrote to find out “where did that number come from?” And I realized that it came from some political thing – I think within the Park Service – that said, “If we get a budget cut of 30-something percent, this is how many parks it could influence.” What they did is they took all of the lowest budgeted parks and lumped them together on a list. And, so I thought, what my job should be here is to bring forth the importance of this place so that closing parks isn’t going to be based on a list that is strictly numbers. We have to tell a story that allows people to understand how important the various parks are and maybe why they should be kept open, so since the mid-90s, I guess that’s been my major mission here for myself: to make sure people realize the importance of what happened here, whatever that is, to keep focused on that.

Q: So, did you actually write a letter?

A: No. It’s just the personal contact I have with people and how I do tours. And if I don’t get anything else across when somebody walks into the Visitor’s Center, I’ll ask them bluntly, almost rudely, “Why are you here? What brings you here?”

So, maybe it’s because they are distant relatives or descendants of Scottish prisoners of war or ironworkers who were here, so we can look into that toolbox of things we have so that we can figure out the best thing we can do for those people here. But if there is nothing else that I get across to people in 10 seconds or an hour tour, it’s why this place is important to the American people and why Congress set this aside in the 1960s as a National Historic Site – and right now we’re in the middle of the 50th anniversary year – why this was set aside to tell that portion of the American story.

Q: Give me a two-minute summation of that, please. Why is this place important?

A: This is where the American iron and steel industry gained a foothold in this country in the 1640s. And because of its bankruptcy – which is another thing I like to say because we’re almost celebrating a bankruptcy here – is that because of that bankruptcy and the dispersal of skilled workers, it spread those technologies through-

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 17, 2018

THE SOUNDS

OF SAUGUS By Mark Vogler few tidbits that you might want to know about this HereweekareinaSaugus.

The “Fourth Estate” is not the enemy These are strange times we are living in.

We have a president who loves to disparage Americans he doesn’t like – almost daily in his ranting tweets. And rarely does a day go by when he doesn’t brand the media as generators of “fake news” and “enemies” of the nation.

Without debating the merits of President Donald Trump’s foreign and domestic policies, I – like many of my colleagues – find the President’s vocal denunciation of the American press as a public disservice to our democratic way of life. By declaring the news media as “the enemy,” the President has put a target on the backs of many honest and hardworking journalists. And he has also reinforced a climate that breeds violence against journalists on every level.

While the rise of the Internet has contributed to the demise of newspapers and media outlets across the country in recent years, to not have newspapers, radio stations and television stations around to play a watchdog role on government at all levels, America’s democratic form of government would be at risk.

Ordinary citizens would face an erosion of the rights they now take for granted – particularly the freedom of speech.

A mom and pop newspaper operating on a shoestring is far better than no newspaper at all. Surely, citizens of Saugus are far better off having three separate newspapers covering local government and town events rather than having fewer or no papers at all.

Next time you wish the news media as we know it ceased to operate, think about the worst-case scenarios of government at the local, state or national level operating without any checks and balances. What you don’t know could indeed hurt you.

Of course, there are a lot of folks out there who find social media as an adequate substitute for the media. Either they don’t have the time to read newspapers or have no problem placing blind faith in their favorite politicians without questions.

A new face on the Board of Registrars Selectmen at Wednesday night’s meeting approved the appointment of John Andreucci to fill a recent vacancy on the town’s Board of Registrars.

Andreucci was one of two names of local Democrats recommended to the Board of Selectmen by Joseph S. Malone, chair of the Saugus Democratic Town Committee. Malone also recommended Ryan Naismith. “These are two outstanding candidates,” Malone wrote in his recent letter to selectmen.

“Whoever you pick will bring the type of intelligence, integrity and solid work ethic which were the hallmarks of J. Brian Costin,” Malone said.

Costin, a former Town Meeting member and a local Democrat, gave his written letter of resignation to Town Clerk Ellen Schena on Aug. 1, explaining that he was relocating with his family to Peabody.

With the state primary coming up on Sept. 4 – the day after Labor Day -- there was an urgency for the vacancy to be filled as soon as possible.

“Preschoolers in the Park” Ready for some summertime fun at the Saugus Iron Works?

If you are between the ages of two and six, your parents ought to be checking out the Preschoolers in the Park programs that take place on most Mondays, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., alternating between Saugus Iron Works and Salem Maritime.

The program gives the children and their adult caregivers the opportunity to learn together about the National Park Service as well as historical and environmental topics through a fun, ageappropriate, hands-on approach. Each program is run by National Park Service Rangers who read a children’s book aloud, facilitate an active, engaging learning experience in the national park and end with a make-and-take project. Each program is designed to connect with the themes, topics and/or resources of either Salem Maritime or Saugus Iron Works as well as with the developmental and learning goals of preschoolers.

For programs at the Saugus Iron Works, meet at the Visitor Center and Eastern National Park Store, “Broadhearth” (244 Central St., Saugus).

Beacon Hill Roll Call

By Bob Katzen CIVICS EDUC ATION (S 2631) House 151-0, Senate 370, approved and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker a bill that makes changes in the current law that all public schools must provide instruction in American history and civics.

Current law requires that the instruction include the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Independence; the Bill of Rights; the state Constitution; local history and government; a program on the correct use and display of the U.S. flag and the importance of participation in the electoral process.

The bill adds several topics that are required to be in the instruction including the function and composition of the branches of local, state and federal government; the roles and responsibilities of a citizen in a democracy; the development of skills to access, analyze and evaluate written and digital media as it relates to history and civics; community diversity and historical trends in voter registration; civic participation relative to disenfranchised voter populations; opportunities to identify and debate issues relative to power, economic status and the common good in democracy.

Other provisions include requiring each public school serving grades eight to 12 to provide at least one studentled civics project for each student; creation of a Civics Project Trust Fund to help further

civics education; and requiring the state to provide information to cities and promote youth membership on municipal boards, committees and commissions.

The bill does not include language that the Senate had approved making it mandatory beginning in 2021 that all students complete one student-led civics project after 8th grade in order to graduate.

Education Committee House chair Rep. Alice Peisch (DWellesley) said the bill incentivizes the robust implementation of the new civics, history and social science curriculum framework. “It also creates a Civics Project Trust Fund to assist with professional development, collaboration with institutions of higher education and other stakeholder organizations and the creation of a competitive evaluation of student-led civics project for all eighth graders,” Peisch concluded.

Gov. Baker proposed amendments that he said would improve the bill.

“We must be thoughtful as to how we approach the instruction of civics, always ensuring in our classrooms that differing points of view are afforded impartial consideration,” said Baker. “When opposing positions are raised, our students should be expected to engage in a civil discourse that is both appropriate and respectful.”

Baker continued, “While we want to encourage the development of critical reasoning

skills, we would never want students to feel forced to engage in student-led civic projects in the public sphere that advance positions contrary to their personal convictions.

Schools, therefore, must make alternative opportunities readily available.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes Rep. Donald Wong Yes Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes ANIMAL PROTECTION (S 2646) House 151-0, Senate 370, approved and the governor signed into law legislation designed to protect cats and dogs. Provisions double the hit and run penalty for an accident involving cats and dogs; permit animal abuse to be reported by Department of Children and Families, the Department of Elder Affairs and Disabled Persons Protection Commission employees; and add animal control officers as mandatory reporters of child abuse, elder abuse and abuse against disabled persons.

Other provisions require property owners and landlords to check their property for abandoned animals within three days following a foreclosure or termination of tenancy; prohibit the drowning of animals; remove the automatic killing of animals involved in animal fighting and instead provides that animals be evaluated individually for adoption if appropriate.

“Our commitment towards ending the cruel and inhumane treatment of innocent animals is steadfast, and with this legislation we have taken significant action to protect their safety and welfare,” said Sen. Mark Montigny (DNew Bedford), co-sponsor of the original bill. “There is zero tolerance for such despicable brutality.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes Rep. Donald Wong Yes

Sen. Brendan Crighton

CLEAN ENERGY (H 4857) House 150-1, Senate 360, approved and Gov. Baker signed into law a clean energy bill that increases the renewable portfolio standard (RPS) by 1 percent until the end of 2019, then by 2 percent each year until the end of 2029, and then back to 1 percent indefinitely. The RPS governs the amount of clean energy that utilities must purchase and integrate into the state’s energy system.

Other provisions institute a Clean Peak Standard to pair energy storage with renewable energy in order to make renewable energy available during the most expensive and highest-emitting hours of electricity consumption; require gas utility companies to report annually to the Department of Public Utilities the company’s lost and unaccounted for gas; and establish an energy storage target of 1000 megawatt hours to be achieved by December 31, 2025.

Rep. Tom Golden (D-Lowell), House Chairman of the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy said the bill builds off of last session’s important work of finding affordable solutions to diversify the state’s energy portfolio with large-scale hydropower, offshore wind and energy storage. “I am particularly proud of the forward-looking measures on energy storage, which include resiliency measures to prepare the state for extreme weather events.

And a first-in-the-nation program to combine storage and renewables to deliver clean power into the hours of the day when our electricity is generated by expensive and polluting resources,” concluded Golden.

“Our administration is proud of our nation-leading work on climate change and renewable energy, and we are pleased to sign the clean energy legisla-

tion which will help us meet our greenhouse gas reduction goals,” said Baker.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.)

Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes Rep. Donald Wong Yes Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes CAP ON WELFARE BENEFIT FOR KIDS (H 4823) House 37-114, Senate 30-7, rejected Gov. Baker’s amendments to a bill that repeals the current law that denies welfare benefits to children conceived while – or soon after – the family began receiving the benefits.

The governor’s amendments still repeal the current cap but would also count adult Supplemental Security Income (SSI) when determining a family’s eligibility for the Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC) program.

Gov. Baker said that this change would align TAFDC with the current eligibility requirements for federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and would treat SSI income the same as income like veteran benefits, retirement income and disability insurance benefits that are already counted in determining a family’s eligibility and benefit level.

“Eliminating the cap without other accompanying changes could have the perverse effect of reducing incentives for TAFDC recipients to get back to work and cause existing inequities in the TAFDC program to persist and expand,” said Baker.

Supporters of the repeal said the law currently denies an estimated 8,700 children in poverty across the state $100 per month in benefits and a clothing allowance of $300 per year. They argued the governor’s amendment would cut benefits for thousands of children with a severely disabled parent.

Cross, a 1985 Saugus High School graduate who has spent more than two decades on the town’s Fire Department, hailed it as “a great day.” “I’m proud as hell today – glad to have the whole family here,” he said.

echoed the sentiments of Panetta and D’Eon. “You heroic efforts do not go unnoticed,” Cicolini said.

Crabtree said he wanted to seize the moment to honor all of the town’s firefighters, police officers and first responders. “You put your life at risk to save others and animals,” Crabtree said.

“Thank you on behalf of the Town of Saugus,” the town manager said.

BEACON | from page 16 “We are extremely disappointed that Gov. Baker is holding hostage thousands of children excluded by the Cap on Kids in order to cut benefits for thousands of children with a severely disabled parent,” said Deborah Harris of the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute and Naomi Meyer of Greater Boston Legal Services in a joint statement. “The welfare family cap is an ineffective policy that harms children and families and does not reflect the values of the commonwealth.

The governor’s amendment is an underhanded maneuver that pits one group of vulnerable children against another.”

The House and Senate sent the bill back to the governor who vetoed it. The Legislature cannot override the governor’s veto because for the rest of year both branches are holding informal sessions that will not act on the veto.

(On the House roll call, a ”Yes” vote is for the governor’s amendments. A “No” vote is against them.)

8th Annual Theatre Company of Saugus Youth Theatre Workshop

T

here are only three performances to see the production created from an intensive two-week theatre workshop featuring local youth actors from Saugus and the surrounding areas, including Lexington, Lynn, Peabody, Revere, Stoneham, Tewksbury and Wakefield. The Theatre Company of Saugus (TCS) production for summer 2018 is the Rodgers & Hammerstein youth musical “Getting to Know...Once Upon a Mattress.”

The show was adapted for young performers by Tom Briggs and Timothy Allen McDonald from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “Once Upon a Mattress” with music

by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer and a book by Marshall Barer, Jay Thompson and Dean Fuller. “Getting to Know...

Once Upon a Mattress” is a musical telling of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Princess and the Pea” that will delight audiences of all ages with its take on the classic fairy tale.

Our story tells the tale of a prince looking for his princess

and his mother interfering. The Queen doesn’t believe anyone is good enough for her son, Prince Dauntless, and with the help of the Wizard they set up each princess to fail the test designed for her. That alone is terrible, but there is also a law that states no one is allowed to get married until Prince Dauntless is married!

Princess Winnifred from the Marshland is next to try and win the Prince. This time the Queen and the Wizard are going to hide a pea in her bed beneath 20 mattresses. The test is to find out if she is “sensitive” enough to marry Dauntless. If she is unable to sleep, then she will be worthy of marrying the prince. But who could feel a single pea under 20 mattresses?

There are only three performances scheduled for this production: Friday, August 17, at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, August 18, at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. The location for all performances is the American Legion Post 210 / 44 Taylor Street / Saugus, Mass.

LUNCH TIME AT THE IRON WORKS

Ask the Plumber

Retirement Planning Tips for Single Women

Dear Savvy Senior, What retirement planning tips can you recommend to single women? I’m 54 and divorced with a teenage daughter and very little saved for retirement.

Financially Behind Dear Behind, It’s an unfortunate reality, but most single women – whether they’re divorced, widowed or never married – face much greater financial challenges in retirement than men. Why? Because women earn less money – about 80 cents for every dollar that men make, on average, and they have shorter working careers than men due to raising children and/or caring for aging parents. And less money earned usually translates into less money saved and a lower Social Security benefit when you retire.

In addition, women live an average of five years longer than men, which requires their retirement income to stretch farther for living expenses and healthcare costs. And, according to some studies, women tend to be less knowledgeable and more intimidated about financial issues than men, which means they don’t always handle their money as well as they should.

Because of these issues, it’s very important that women educate themselves on financial matters and learn how to save more effectively. Listed below are some tips and resources that may help you.

Start Saving If your employer offers a retirement plan, such as a 401K, you should contribute enough to at least capitalize on a company match, if available. And if you can swing it, contribute even more. By law, you can save as much as $18,500 in a 401(k) in 2018, or $24,500 to those 50 and older, due to the catch-up rule.

If you don’t have a workplace plan, consider opening a Traditional or Roth IRA. Both are powerful tax-advantaged retirement savings accounts that let you contribute up to $5,500 annually, or $6,500 when you’re over 50. And if you’re self-employed, consider a SEP-IRA, SIMPLE-IRA and/or a solo 401(k), all of which can help reduce your taxable income while putting money away for retirement.

Also, if you have a high-deductible health insurance policy, you should consider opening a health savings account (see HSAsearch.com). This is an excellent tool that can be used to sock away funds pre-tax and use them before or after retirement to pay for medical expenses.

Find Your Number It’s also important to get a handle on how much you need to save for a comfortable retirement. You can do this through a number of free online calculators like ChooseToSave.org or FinancialMentor.com/calculator.

Pay Off Debt If you have debt, you need to get it under control. If you need some help with this, consider a nonprofit credit-counseling agency that provides free or low cost advice and solutions, and can help you set up a debt management plan. To locate an agency, use the National Foundation for Credit Counseling website at NFCC.org or call 800-388-2227.

Find Help To help you educate yourself on financial matters like retirement planning, saving and investing, health care, annuities and more, a top resource is the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement at WiserWomen.org.

And to help you get up to speed on Social Security, visit SSA. gov/people/women. This web page, dedicated to women, provides helpful publications like “What Every Women Should Know,”along with links to benefit calculators and your personal Social Security account to help you figure out your future earnings at different retirement ages.

You should also consider getting a financial assessment with a fee-only financial advisor. Costs for these services will vary from around $150 to $300 per hour, but this can be very beneficial to help you set-up a retirement plan you can follow. See NAPFA.org or GarrettPlanningNetwork.com to locate an advisor in your area.

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.

Q: So, this place played a big part in the early colonies?

A: Yep. Q: Anything else that you would like to share?

A: Well, one of the first years I was here, there was a reunion of a family that took place here.

They were broken up in World War II. And so different members of the family went in dif-

ferent directions and they all had a pair of different languages from each other as a result of the war. And they came here for a tour, and it was just interesting to find that right thread of people that could tell the story of the Iron Works through these people that were brought together again here after the war, for the first time, connecting with each other. They had been broken apart by the war.

But this gave them a common experience through different languages.

PAMELA A. CASEY O’BRIEN REGISTER OF PROBATE August 17, 2018

letter from a Saugus resident asks: Dear Ron, Sometimes at night when my house is quite a n d I ’m t h e o n l y o n e home, I hear water running. Then a few minutes later and for no reason my toilet flushes. Can you tell me why this is happening and is there a way to stop it?

Hello Everett and thank you for your question.

In plumber’s language this is called “Ghost Flushing” and here is what I suspect is going on. It could be a few of things, first take the top off of the toilet’s tank and look at the very bottom where what we call the “Flapper” is. It is a round piece of rubber that sits over a hole that allows the water to flush. After the flush the “Flapper” should rest back down over the hole covering it completely and allow the tank to refill. The flapper may be dried out and cracked and not coming down over the hole letting the water slowly leak and at a certain point the toilet will call for a refill and flush on its own.

Another reason for “Ghost Flushing” could be the “Float” may need an adjustment and or the throat of the tank may be old and pitted allowing water to slowly leak and again call for a flush. Lastly, your tank could even have a small hairline crack that might look to you like simple condensation but it will still drain the tank ever so slowly and cause the tank to flush.

These are just a few things that can be going on, some of which can be handled by the homeowner. I hope this has been helpful and good luck getting the “Ghost” out of the house.

Mayor, City Council to apply $12.5 million Wynn payment to reduce tax rate The City Council unanimously approved a proposal by Mayor Carlo DeMaria on Monday, November 13 to apply the entirety of Wynn Boston Harbor’s $12.5 million payment to the City of Everett toward reducing next year’s tax rate.

On average, single-family home values rose by about $39,000 since the last fiscal year, while two-family and three-family residences on average rose $50,000.

City Council bans pot shops The City Council unanimously passed an ordinance on Monday, December 11 banning the establishment of marijuana shops within the city’s borders. Such a move was possible because of a provision in the state law created in the wake of the ballot initiative le-
