But state Rep. Donald Wong (RSaugus) said the bill that law-

makers passed this week and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker’s desk will protect the local option of communities like Saugus – which voted against legalizing commercial marijuana by 53 percent. Voters state-

tion, said in her brief speech at the Saugus Iron Works National son, a member of the group Horses and Heroes Founda- Historic Site on Tuesday as Gecoya received a special tribute.

“Today we honor the first recipient of the Medal of Honor in the history of the Saugus Police Department,” said Benson, a Saugus resident who owns Indian Rock Stables on Walden Terrace.

“Lt. Detective David Gecoya is a testament to the level of excellence we expect from law enforcement officers and how they stand ready for whatever situation demands of them. … “I BEG YOUR PARDON!”: Skyllar Mullvaney (left) president of the Horses and Heroes Foundation, and Saugus Police Lieutenant Detective David Gecoya are amused at the way the officer’s namesake horse reacts after being introduced by the nickname “Shorty” – which is also Gecoya’s nickname.

Today we say thank you for being a true hero,” she said.

Gecoya – joined by his wife and two sons and a handful of local and town officials – became the first Saugus police officer honored by the Horses and Heroes Foundation of Revere by having a horse named after him. The foundation bestowed the special recognition upon Lt. Detective Gecoya for his role in a March 2012 police chase during which he pursued a bank robbery and carjacking suspect from Saugus into Malden. Officers from the Malden Police Department were ex-

changing gunfire with the suspect when Gecoya arrived on the scene. He was credited with playing a crucial role in the detainment of the suspects, as well as with bringing those involved to safety.

Lt. Detective Gecoya later received the 2013 Trooper George L. Hanna Award for bravery, the State of Massachusetts’s highest honor for bravery, for his role in the chase.

“Lieutenant Detective Gecoya’s actions exemplified extreme bravery and we in the Town of Saugus are lucky to have him as a member of our public safety department, working hard to keep our residents safe every day,” Crabtree said.

The Revere-based foundation has donated 17 horses throughout the United States, according to its president, Skyllar Mullvaney. “The … Founda-

tion is dedicated to honoring the men and women of law enforcement, first responders and our armed forces who have died in the line of duty or have distinguished themselves by conspicuous bravery and selfless service to their job,” Mullvaney said.

“The mission is accomplished by naming horses in their honor and donating the horses to mounted patrol units throughout the United States. The horses help serve and protect the

ijuana could still have a way to opt out, but would have to have a town or citywide vote, he noted.

Gov. Baker has 10 days to sign, veto or amend the bill once it reaches his desk.

Communities that approve the sale of marijuana can have a 17 percent tax on marijuana sales, but can also add an addition 3 percent local option tax, according to Wong. Wong said he personally opposes the commercial sale of marijuana – except for medical purposes.

Marijuana stores can only be banned in cities and towns that supported the ballot initiative last year if a majority of voters approve. In a major change in the law, local governing boards can ban marijuana shops without a town-wide referendum if they voted against Question 4 last year.

Nadeau, 38, is a Beverly native and a 1997 Beverly High School graduate. He received his associate’s degree in radio and television production from Hesser College (1999) in Manchester, N.H. Before taking charge of the day-to-day operations of the local public access television station in Saugus, he worked more than 13

Anybody in town can come in and work with us or work on their own program.

Q: Is it all free, or are there any

A: There are some membership fees. However, we have a new board right now, and we’re going to be reviewing all of our policies, so that may change. Right now, it’s just a nominal fee of $25 … more than just to give responsibility, but make someone feel like they are a part of something.

Admitting to corruption Former town manager Bisignani pleads guilty to wrong doing in Saugus and Nahant

F

ormer Saugus Town Manager Andrew R. Bisignani has admitted he betraying the public trust in corrupt ways while administering local government in Saugus and later Nahant.

Bisignani, 70, pleaded guilty yesterday to 12 counts of procurement fraud, destroying public records, municipal bid-rigging and other crimes related to his position as Town Manager of Saugus and Nahant from Jan. 1, 2009 to June 30, 2014.

Salem Superior Court Judge Timothy Feeley sentenced him to two years of probation including six months of home confinement to begin after the federal home confinement sentence he is currently serving is completed in January, 2018.

While on home confinement, Bisignani will only be allowed to leave his home for work, community service, medical and court appointments and religious services.Judge Feeley also imposed a $60,000 fine.

“This scheme charged in this case did not just create an unfair playing field, but an almost entirely secret playing field where hundreds of thousands of dol-

lars in public funds were spent without any procurement process or transparency,” Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said in a statement released by his office yesterday.

“The effective administration of government depends upon a basic trust that persons with authority over public funds comply with the law.Mr. Bisignani not only betrayed that trust the taxpayers of Saugus and Nahant, who entrusted him to manage their communities’ resources effectively and according the law, but he also thwarted investigators, secretly recorded one of the elected officials to whom he answered, and destroyed Town records in order to conceal his crimes,” Blodgett said.

“The plea today comes as a result of a lengthy and painstaking investigation on the part of Essex ADAs Hopwood and Mallard.This was an extremely complicated case with a tremendous amount of documentary evidence that required meticulous examination,” the prosecutor said.

Essex Assistant District Attorney Karen Hopwood recom-

mended a state prison sentence of one and half to two years, followed by three years of probation.

In her sentencing argument, Hopwood noted, “It is impossible to calculate the financial impact of Mr. Bisignani’s crimes on the towns of Saugus and Nahant, nor can it be verified that work was done properly or done at all.”

Had the case gone to trial, Assistant District Attorneys Hopwood and Philip Mallard would have introduced evidence that would have proven that during his tenure as Town Manager of Saugus and Nahant, Bisignani orchestrated a misleading scheme that violated many procurement laws pertaining to the expenditure of municipal funds.

Procurement laws dictate the process by which public funds may be spent, and the requirements for the selection of vendors who will provide supplies and services to public entities.

In addition, Bisignani attempted to conceal his wrongdoing by altering and destroying documents that an Essex County

It’s intend-

KEEPIN' IT REAL

ed to be for community viewing.

Q: Your bread and butter is pretty much the coverage of the major government meetings?

A: Well, there are so many board meetings in town and there was the growth of the Government Channel in 2007.

That channel actually didn’t exist. It was just the two – Public and Educational. So, with the growth of the government, the station decided to start covering more and more of the meetings. And we found over those years that’s what the town really – not enjoyed – but wants to see. You know, they [the public] can’t make it. They all work and can’t come to these meetings or some people would rather watch it at home because they can hear things better through the microphones vs. being in the Town Hall with the high ceiling.

Yes, that [the government meetings] is most of our day-to-day operations.

Q: How many meetings do you cover, of the boards and commissions?

A: We cover a lot. We cover Selectmen, School Committee, Finance Committee, Board of Health, Board of Appeals, Library Board [of Trustees] and Planning Board. And then there are the Annual and Special Town Meetings.

And now we do those school building project meetings. If anything comes up – like an annual meeting – if it fits our schedule, we are more than willing to help with that.

Q: And some of these meetings are covered live.

A: Yes. Some of these meetings are live. The Selectmen and the School Committee meetings are live. We have live drops at Town Hall and at the Roby [School Administration Building]. We do have a live signal at the library, but we don’t have a whole setup, so we edit those and air them about a week later.

Q: What gets more viewing or hits? A selectmen’s meeting live or a selectmen’s meeting after the fact [on vimeo.com/saugustv]?

Summer!

A: I’m not sure, because we don’t really have any ratings or way to gauge who is watching live. However, on our Vimeo we have numbers. And, it’s not so much which meeting over another type meeting. It’s what’s going on in that meeting. If there is some hot issue going on in that meeting, then the views are going to rack up. And we’ll get calls: “When is it airing? When is it up?” If it’s just a plain Selectmen’s meeting, not so much.

But those [Selectmen] are going to get more views than, say, a Library Board [of Trustees], where it’s a standard “This is what we’ve done” or “This is what we’re doing.” The latest Planning Board, that’s probably going to get a lot of views because it’s got that huge issue with the neighborhood, Bellevue Heights. So that’s going to get a lot of views. We actually got a lot of views on the [Saugus High] school vandalism video that we recently did. Normally, we don’t do breaking news coverage. But since it actually affected us – and we came in that morning as it happened, we just grabbed the camera and started shooting.

Q: How many hits did you get on that?

A: We got about 2,000 hits on that, over the course of about four days.

Q: Now, how often do you do something like that?

A: That’s actually rare. When I had John [Prudent] grab a camera, I said, “We actually don’t do stuff like this. But we’re right here [at the High School].” We just don’t normally do breaking news.

We don’t dig for dirt or grab a police scanner trying to find breaking news, because this channel is not like [Boston Television Channels] 4, 5 and 7. If we had people in town who were interested in doing something like that, then they would be the ones who would be looking for these types of things … making sure that they had a camera and go shoot it, edit it and air it for the town.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, July 21, 2017

Page 10

ASK | from page 8 we had more interest, that would be something we would be doing more of, or helping out the producers do more of. Again – [the video on the High School vandalism] was because it affected us and was on the property that we work out of.

Q: Now, do you do documentaries on things related to the

town?

A: We try to. It’s been a little harder trying to get more people just to come in and talk. We were doing a show called “Saugus Our Town,” and I would try to interview people, like we interviewed Pastor Bob [Robert Leroe, former pastor of Cliftondale Congregational Church] when he retired [last year]. More human interest stories, sort of like

that. But because of the meeting schedule and things going on around the station, it’s tough to do it with one person. You really need a news team. And possibly in the future if we have more growth, we might be able to hire a reporter and videographer just to go around town and find stuff. But right now, that [the High School vandalism] was just a freak incident that affected us and we did it.

Q: Any plans for the future of doing anything more like that?

A: At the moment, no, just because it is a lot more work and we would have to hire more staff or scale back some of the meetings we cover. Because if you look at the schedule behind us, you can see that we’ve got all sorts of meetings. And then in the down times, that’s when we try to work with classes. Like right now, we’re doing a Stop-Motion [Animation Workshop] Class for teens to show them how to do the type of program that we won the award for. We had seven kids sign up. Two never showed up and one dropped out. We got about four now. But they are really into it. They’ve got stuff coming out that’s really cool. So, we have been doing that for the past few weeks. Then there’s also vacations and other stuff. But it takes time. Like you were saying, you’re doing an article and you got all of your notes, but you have to sit there and spend time writing it and proofreading it, making sure that it’s all set, spend some time fact-checking. Just because we tape something doesn’t mean it’s ready for viewing right away.

We have to put the words on, the graphics, the date, the copyright … all of that stuff. And then we have to wait for the computer to do its thing. It’s almost like baking a cake. You put all of the ingredients together, shove it in the oven and wait for the oven

to do its job.

Q: You’ve been here almost about four years. If there is one single program that drew the most attention or most hits, what would that be?

A: Well, our Founders Day coverage is definitely our flagship program, where we go live at 9 o’clock in the morning and we go off the air at 3 o’clock, or whenever the last act [in front of Town Hall] is done on the stage.

A lot of people really enjoy that.

They’ll watch us, or they’ll come down and see themselves on TV. Some people can’t get out of their house to see the festivities, so they really enjoy that. There was a year before I got here that it wasn’t covered live, and there was a huge backlash in town.

Q: People were in an uproar?

A: Yeah, they were very disappointed.

Q: So, that would be your signature event?

A: Yes, that’s our biggest thing.

Come spring, we’ve got to start thinking about Founders Day and what we’re going to do.

Q: And then the Tree Lighting, too.

A: The Tree Lighting is probably our second biggest event.

That one isn’t as tough, because we don’t go live. We’re just shooting all of the things and we edit it, so our stress level goes down a little bit. But actually doing a live production for eight hours is a huge undertaking. Especially to make sure that the feed stays up the whole eight hours so everybody can see it and can hear it good, and there’s enough material so there’s not dead air. And, then, there’s also the setup and breakdown, all in the same day, too. We bring a whole truckload of equipment, set up the tent.

That’s our biggest thing [Founders Day]. It’s usually a 10-hour day to add to about a 40-hour-week.

Q: And then you do the football games in the fall.

A: Yes. We have been doing single camera shoots of those; we’ll come back and put the words and graphics on them and air those about a week later.

Q: Do you go on the road with the Sachems [football team]?

A: Normally we don’t, unless the team is good and in post-season tournaments. If something is at Salem State or a neighboring

town that’s not too far … and again, there’s availability, we’ll do our best to cover it. And one of the things in the future that we’re hoping, is to get a production van as part of our equipment.

And what that will allow – we can have more volunteers and have multi-cameras for these games instead of just the one camera in centerfield going back and forth.

We can have more cameras and edit it right there. And, depending upon the location, we may be able to go live. Especially, if they give us a new drop here. So, in the future, we’d hope to grow the sports coverage. Again, we had a board a few years ago that didn’t want us to cover any sports … that it was up to the schools.

And so there was a full year that we didn’t cover any sports and people were disappointed, so when we got the new board, it was one of the things – we decided to at least cover three or four of each game. There are certain sports that just don’t lend well to single camera, like track or tennis. But we do a good majority of the sports, like hockey, girls’ and boys’ basketball. We’ve actually tried covering wrestling, boys’ and girls’ soccer, girls’ field hockey, volleyball – which I didn’t think was going to be easy, but it came out pretty good – football, baseball, softball. We try to cover the gamut.

Q: Do you have any plans for, like, a half-hour weekly news program?

A: At the moment, no, just because things happen so much during the week and I would have to dedicate staff just to work on news. When I was in Marblehead, we did do a weekly newscast. It was a half hour newscast.

But we didn’t have all of those meetings to cover. We just did Selectmen every other week and School Committee every other week. And there was just a twoperson staff and we got it done.

This town has so many meetings pop up and people want them covered, so we focus on that rather than try to do a newscast.

Like I said, I tried to do that “Saugus Our Town,” which was more like a “Chronicle”-type monthly broadcast, and even that got to be too much. Then you have

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, July 21, 2017

ASK | from page 10 to dig and try to find stuff and find stuff, and it becomes not tedious, but more than we can do here. Because we also have the volunteers who come and go all day long, too. And that volunteer base has been growing.

Q: How many volunteers?

A: We have a good corps of a dozen volunteers that come in throughout the week.

Q: All ages?

A: All ages. We got a couple of church groups that come in every week. They’ll take out a camera to cover their Sunday service. They’ll come in Monday to drop it off, then they’ll come in another day so they can edit it.

We’ve got the Teen TV Workshop that we held last year, that gave us a good half dozen students from the High School and Middle School age. One of them is producing a Ninja movie, so we have been helping him produce that over the school year here. I think he says it should be done by the fall. We’ve got that wrestling show, Starship Wrestling, a perfect example of public access user – Jimmie Carabineris – he lives in town, he knew we have studio and he had an idea for a show. And we helped him get there. It was a little rough, the first episode or two. We advised that he find a co-host. And he did. And now he’s been doing it for well over a year with his co-host [Josh Clabeaux]. And he does it once a month, so we make sure that the studio is available for him. In a perfect world, he would have

his own crew and we would just open the door and let him in. It’s harder to find those types of people, so I always say that the more effort the volunteer shows, the more effort we’ll show in helping him or her get that production off of the ground.

Q: Any plans for the fall, for the Selectmen and School Committee election campaigns?

A: Yes. Nothing official yet. But the board [Cable Television Commission] and I have been in discussions about our coverage and possibly a debate. We’re sort of in the preliminaries on that. In years past, candidates have been invited in to do their, like, three-minute statements. We’ll most likely be doing that again … flush out the dates and the logistics of it all.

And then there will be the ads on the community bulletin board, the paid ads that they always do. I would like to try to do some sort of election result show. They used to do that years ago before I got here, but things fell apart, kind of with the division of the town. So, now, it’s about trying to find a person who is neutral and doesn’t care about which way the wind blows, but just wants to get the information out there.

Q: What’s the most challenging part of your job?

A: The toughest part is probably – I don’t want to say making everybody happy – everybody wants something from us, and we do our best to give that to them. We cover all of these meetings. Obviously, we can’t cover every single meeting that there is under the sun, so the hardest

part is trying to figure out what’s more important and what the town wants. I’d love to see more community involvement to help out on these things. Yes, they are volunteer positions. But it’s helping out your community. Instead of all of us working Memorial Day – maybe two or three of us working with several community people – and now it’s a community production instead of just a station production. That’s what I’d like to see. It’s tough getting people that have the time and drive to want to volunteer, pretty much. And then scheduling all of these meetings that pop up within 48 hours’ notice. But I do have the good staff. Michelle [Madar] is my production manager, so she looks at that [Town of Saugus] website 300 times a day to see if a meeting pops up. She’ll go down to Town Hall to see if something is posted. Any time that a volunteer comes in who needs a camera or a computer, she takes care of it. Rachel [Appel] is my program manager. Anything you see on those three channels, she sits there all day … making sure that everything is programed correctly and that you don’t see something that you’re not supposed to see. There’s not a lot of black [on the screen] or dead air. And John [Prudent] is a real artist. The creative aspect of making a production look a little better – because anybody can just take a camera and shoot something and put it on TV – but it’s the graphics and the design of it and putting it all

together that he helps with.

Q: Are you here to stay in the High School or are there plans in the future for a new location?

A: I think we’re going to be in another location. Again, those plans haven’t been finalized yet …

Q: What’s the time frame on that?

A: Well, it looks like they’re going to be demolishing the [High School] building in 2020, so that’s probably our last “kill” date. I would like to try to be out when the construction starts, or even before. I think “before” is probably going to be a little unrealistic, but I know that the traffic in this facility [around the High School] is going to be a real nightmare.

So for the staff and volunteers trying to come in, I have a feeling it’s going to be gated out there.

And nobody is going to be able to come in unless you come in to drop your kids off or take your kids home. That could become

problematic when you’re trying to run a business.

Q: Where would be the place or the best option for relocating?

That big building down in Cliftondale [MEG Building]?

A: The old Cliftondale School?

That’s one of the options. We could always rent something on Route 1. We could kind of hold out and see if any of these buildings that are going to be taken off-line become available, because I think that Youth & Rec is going to go into one of the schools, eventually, so the Youth & Rec building might open up.

So it’s all the logistics of trying to figure out what our best option would be, because we have to spend money no matter where we are, to outfit us to where we need to be and also upgrade us for the future. Because that would be the time to become HD-ready … stream-ready, so we can actually start streaming these meetings live or streaming our channel live on the Internet.

Those are some of the plans. But, right now, nothing is set in stone.

We don’t have a lease with anybody. We’re trying to figure out our best cost options.

Q: What’s the most fun part or the most interesting part of your job?

A: Well, everything we do, and everything the volunteers do, it’s creative, so you really never know what you are going to get and everybody else has a different set of eyes. So, I can see something one way, give it to John [Prudent] and he’ll see it a completely different way – and it’s a completely different approach than what I thought.

Public access is a truly collaborative effort. And the more people who join in, the easier and more fun things become. To be honest, sometimes these meetings become just literal chores, so it’s nice to do the studio productions where you can control the environment – it’s not a live thing – and we can stop and fix your hair or fix a mike … the lighting is too bright here, let’s

dim it. So, that’s always been my passion with television: trying to find the right bounds and be creative. It’s almost like painting or a drawing, but it’s just a different type of artistic medium. So, that’s what I find fun about it. And seeing the people – like the kids – enjoying the Stop-Motion Class and really being involved in it. Or a volunteer coming through the door and saying, “I have an idea” and then responding, “Great.

Let’s figure out if we can do it.”

That’s what I like about Public Access. That’s why I’ve been in it almost 20 years now.

Q: Anything else that you would like to share about the studio, about Saugus TV or about plans for the future?

A: Not really. Just with all the turmoil that’s happened in the four years that I’ve been here, it’s kind of nice that we’re out of that darkness and we’re going on the path to grow us in the future. Not that we’ve been stagnant, but it’s now time that we have to start thinking of the next 10 years. Basically, this station, as the town knows it, came about in 2007 after Comcast. The TV station has been around since the 80s. But, really, people see it from 2007 to now and the whole mess there. I’m very excited to be looking ahead to the next 10 years, because we got all of that stuff behind us. I don’t see us going back that way. And I want to see us grow. I want to see the volunteerism – people really use us. Maybe our new location will help that if we are in the center of town or have more visibility on Route 1, or something like that. And, the fact that … I know people have stayed away because of the turmoil. Hopefully, all of the positive press that has been coming up over the past six months to a year now is going to trump all of the bad press we’ve had over the past four years. We really do need to move into the future. We’re still in SD Mode. At some point, we could be switching over to HD and we need to be ready.

Members of the group and administrators of the Facebook Page coordinated with vendors and town residents on the process by which supporters could obtain campaign materials, including lawn signs and bumper stickers.

“Based on our review, we have determined that Saugus Parents for a New High/Middle School failed to organize as ballot question committee prior to soliciting and receiving funds (in the form of selling bumper stickers or pooling their resources [in the form of coordinating to print lawn signs]) to support the ballot question,” said OCPF Director Michael J.

“Once this office contacted you, however, the Committee organized and filed its pre-election campaign finance report prior to the election,” Sullivan wrote in his letter to William Marchand.

Town promotes five veteran firefighters

By Mark E. Vogler

t was the main event last Friday at Saugus Town Hall.

Five veteran firefighters with an aggregate of 107 years of employment gathered with family and friends near the inside entrance for a swearing-in ceremony.

The installation of new Deputy Chief Thomas D’Eon topped the list of promotions.

D’Eon – a 13-year veteran of the town’s fire service and husband of Selectman Jennifer D’Eon – Replaces former Deputy Chief Donald Shea, who retired last December after 38 years with the department. D’Eon is a Malden native, but has planted strong roots in Saugus -- his father and grandparents are from here.

D’Eon’s 10-year-old son, Jake, pinned the deputy chief badge on his father

Firefighter Joe Phelan pinned a new captain’s badge on his father, Saugus Fire Captain Scott Phelan, who has 19 years with Saugus Also among those receiving promotions: • Lt. Damian Drella, a 1985 Saugus High School graduate with 26 years of experience with the Fire Department.

• Lt. Mark Gannon, who has 23 years fighting fires in Saugus.

• Capt. James Hughes, A Melrose High School graduate who has worked 26 of his 31 years in firefighting in Saugus.

“It is an honor and a privilege to promote these five individuals,” said Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree, who presided over the ceremony.

“I am confident that they will excel in their new positions and continue to serve our Town and

“Shorty” meets “Shorty” Tuesday’s event began on a comical note when Lt. Detective Gecoya got to greet the horse that received his name. Mullvaney noted that the horse’s nickname was “Shorty” – just like Gecoya.

The horse raised his head and made a noise, as if to object to being called Shorty. “He wasn’t

In its 29th year, the three-day Salem Maritime Festival offers an exciting array of free fun for everyone, including live music, harbor cruises, craft demonstrations, reenactors, story-telling, visiting vessels, fish-painting, kite-flying, radio-controlled boats, and much more!

Candidates’ views are welcome Speaking of a willingness to talk about the issues, we’re going to hear a lot more from potential candidates as the summer moves on. Another local election campaign is creeping up. Nomination papers won’t be available at the Town Clerk’s Office until July 24.

But we’ve already had two potential challengers surface in the selectmen’s race.

The Saugus Advocate welcomes campaign announcements from candidates seeking public office in the fall elections. Email me a letter stating your interest and qualifications for the position you are seeking, and we’ll be glad to publish it along with a photo.

It should be interesting to see whether the overwhelming supporter by voters on the school building project will give incumbents on the Board of Selectmen and the School Committee a tide to ride right into the November general election. Stay tuned.

Want to volunteer to help Saugus government?

This is my final email from Susan Dunn. It’s an announcement about Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree accepting resumes/applications from Saugus residents for several volunteer positions on the following boards and commissions.

So, if you have spare time and feel civic-minded, check these out: • Board of Assessors – one position.

The responsibility of this Board is to annually determine the full and fair market value of all real estate in the Town. Guidelines are set by the Dept. of Revenue, Bureau of Local Assessment.

SALUTING A CENTURY OF SERVICE: Saugus Fire Chief Michael Newbury, left, stands with the five members of his department who recently received promotions. Overall, the men account for more than a hundred years of collective service with the town’s Fire Department. They include Lt. Mark Gannon, Lt. Damian Drella, Capt. Scott Phelan, Capt. James Hughes, Deputy Chief Thomas D’Eon and Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree.

Historical happenings on Round Hill The Saugus Historical Commission has set out an informative pamphlet at Town Hall, reporting the progress of the Round Hill Historical Site, which sits behind the Public Safety Building on Hamilton Street.

A formal dedication of the site is expected in September. The ceremony will include burial of the time capsule created during the 2015 anniversary celebration.

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

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

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

Anyone can become “A Friend of Round Hill” by making a donation to the Saugus Historical Commission, ℅ Round Hill Project, 298 Central St., Saugus, MA 01906.

Ballard Early Childhood Center students experience nature at Wheelabrator

ore than 150 students, teachers and parents from the Ballard Early Childhood Center got up close and personal with nature during the school’s annual field trip to Wheelabrator Technologies’Bear Creek Wildlife Sanctuary. The students learned about bees and the importance of pollination, plants at the sanctuary and the animals that rely on them, the coastal landscape and estuary and how butterflies come into being. They also planted wildflower seeds, and there was an arts and crafts station. After the learning stations, the students enjoyed lunch from Prince Pizzeria and entertainment.

“The students look forward to visiting Wheelabrator’s Bear

Creek Wildlife Sanctuary every year,” said Ballard Principal Marie Bridges. “It’s an opportunity for them to learn about nature in a fun environment.”

“The kids love coming here,” teacher Barbara Wall said.

“Wheelabrator Saugus does a great job of making an educational field trip an enjoyable experience. The kids learned a lot and had a good time doing it.”

Bear Creek is a 370-acre wildlife refuge abutting the 2,274acre Rumney Marsh ecosystem in Saugus and Revere that operates in concert with the adjacent Wheelabrator monofill and energy-from-waste facility. The sanctuary, which has received the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) Conservation Certification, dem-

wildlife, such as coyotes, foxes, raccoons and snakes. Wheelabrator has strived to increase diversity on the site, providing quality food sources, cover and space for migratory birds. Through partnerships with local educational institutes, the sanctuary is actively used as a classroom and field laboratory for a variety of environmental studies.

“We are proud of Bear Creek and pleased to share it with the community,” said Wheelabrator Saugus General Manager Peter Kendrigan. “The students learn about environmental sustainability, responsible waste management and a natural resource in their own community that they may not have been aware of.”

ADMITTING | from page 7 Grand Jury had subpoenaed from the Town of Nahant.

During the period of the grand jury investigation and service of the subpoena, Bisignani met with one of the Selectmen for the Town of Nahant and discussed whether hei would continue to be employed as Town Administrator.During this meeting, Bisignani concealed a tape recorder in the room and secretly recorded the meeting, according to prosecutors.

The scheme orchestrated by Bisignani during his tenure as Town Manager in Saugus and Nahant entailed the hiring of choice vendors without, effectively, any public procurement process.

Through the scheme, Bisignani directed the Town of Saugus to pay invoices for projects that were never advertised, not subject to any public bidding, and were identified as so-called ‘emergency’ procurements that were not approved by the Department of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM).

The invoices approved by Bisignani (1) disclosed only a portion of a project’s cost, (2) designated foreseeable projects as ‘emergency’ work, and (3) did not include payment of prevailing wages.

Bisignani also caused payments of for these ‘split invoices’ to be spread out, further concealing the true cost of the projects, and obscuring the necessity that those projects be subject to public bidding and advertising.Additionally, Bisignani’s purposeful failure to comply with procurement laws caused the Town of Saugus to hire a vendor during a period that the vendor had been barred from providing services to municipalities by the Department of Industrial Accidents.Moreover, Bisignani also approved multiple payments by the Town of Saugus to vendors for the same services.

An Essex County Grand Jury indicted Bisignani on Dec. 30, 2014 after a two-year investigation by the District Attorney’s Office.Essex ADAs Hopwood and Mallard were cross-designated as Spe-

cial Assistant Attorneys General for purposes of this investigation.The investigation was led by Trooper Brian O’Neill of the Massachusetts State Police assigned the Essex County District Attorney’s Office.Investigative support was provided by the office of State Auditor Suzanne Bump.

The investigation was prompted by the discovery of improper spending by forensic auditors who examined the Town of Saugus finances after Bisignani left the position of Town Manager on Jan.12, 2012.

Bisignani was represented by Attorney Tracy Miner.

Last year, Bisignani admitted that he failed to report more than $375,0000 of his income on federal tax returns he filed over several years. He pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Boston to four counts of filing false tax returns. Bisignani, who served nine years as Saugus town manager before leaving in December of 2011, admitted that from 2010 to 2013, he collected rental income from three real properties in Revere.

Bisignani began working as town administrator in Nahant in February 2012. But he only had the job for two years before resigning in June 2014 over accusations that he had given public contracts to people or entities that he favored. An Essex Coun-

C

ty grand jury indicted him in December 2014 on 14 counts related to his improper handling of contracts while he was Saugus town manager and continuing to tenure as Nahant town administrator.

Four of the charges relate to his actions as Saugus town manager and occurred between Jan. 1, 2009, and Feb. 1, 2012. They included two counts of procurement fraud that cited Bisignani for spending $92,425 to purchase seven vehicles from Brothers Auto Body in Revere without waiting for potentially lower outside bids, according to Essex District Blodgett’s office.

Bisignani’s alleged illegal actions as Saugus town manager also include one count of knowing violation of laws relating to the incurring of liability and expenditure of public funds and one count of failure to provide public notice of competitive bids.

The violations that led to the Nahant charges occurred between Feb. 1, 2012, and June 30, 2014, according to the district attorney’s office. They include “destroying public records, unlawfully intercepting oral communications and misleading person(s) in connection with a criminal proceeding.� Bisignani was also accused of procurement fraud and failure to provide notice of competitive bids, as was the case in Saugus.
