Cops aid teen’s cancer fight

“For the children of Saugus”

Police Department – and Cops for Kids with Cancer – team up to help 15-year-old Zachary Cummings

tudents in the Saugus High School Class of 2021 can stop dreaming about going to class in a brand-new building where roofs don’t leak and summer-like heat in the spring doesn’t create unbearable learning conditions. “They’ll be the first class to graduate,” Selectman Jennifer D’Eon told her colleagues at Wednesday night’s meeting as board members savored a pair of decisive votes in this week’s Special Election that will turn

achary Cummings got the ride of his life late Wednesday morning as he got help from some new friends in his battle against cancer. The 15-year-old Saugus boy was the reason for the commotion caused by a dozen police cruisers with flashing blue lights and sirens blaring as they circled the rotary and made their way to the Public Safety Building on Hamilton Street.

“That was awesome,” Zachary declared as he exited Police Chief Domenic J. DiMella’s cruiser and found himself surrounded by a small group of news reporters and television camera operators. “This is cool,” he said. After a rousing police escort that attracted public attention near Town Hall, the chief accompanied Zachary and his parents – Sean and Beth Cummings – upstairs to his office where a representative from

“The outreach from the town and the school system is overwhelming,” Sean Cummings said, his voice cracking as he fought back tears. Chief DiMella offered encouragement and support to Zachary, who is an Honor Roll student-athlete at St. Mary’s High School in Lynn, as he looks forward to his sophomore year in the fall. “He is obviously fighting this disease and we know he’s going to beat it,” Chief DiMella told reporters. “I know you’re going to do great, Zack,” the chief added. Since its inception in 2004,

Cops For Kids with Cancer has donated more than $2.5 million to families of children suffering from cancer, according to Cops for Kids for Cancer Board of Directors member Ed McNelley. Zachary might be the first Saugus resident to benefit from the $5,000 donation, McNelley said. Chief DiMella said he can’t recall anyone else in town receiving help from Cops for Kids with Cancer. “My daughter [Alyse McNelley] grew up with Sean [Cummings],” McNelley said. “She brought Sean’s situation to my attention. Once I got it, I contacted Saugus Police. The chief filled out the application and sent it to us,” he said.

How Cops for Kids with Cancer began McNelley credited the late Boston Police Capt. John Dow with the Boston-based charity’s creation. Dow, who was battling cancer himself, noticed that a lot of families came in with children to receive treatments – and that the treatments were causing financial hardships for those families. “The $5,000.

new school dreams into reality. • More than 70 percent of the nearly 5,000 voters who went to the polls favored a new $160.7 million Middle-High School built to accommodate 1,360 students in grades 6 through 12. The project, which would be eligible for a minimum 53 percent reimbursement by the Massachusetts School Building Authority, also includes a multipurpose athletic field and outdoor track. • A second ballot question that supported $25.4 million for a District-Wide Master Plan Solution that includes the renovations and improvements at the Belmonte Middle School (which will be grades 3-5) and Veterans Memorial School (Pre-K) also passed by a resounding margin of 69 percent. The town will not receive any reimbursement for that project. Both ballot questions needed to pass in order for the school project to continue. The morning after Saugus town officials, school officials, Parent Teacher Organization leaders, youth group leaders and children assembled for a Tuesday night post-election celebration at Prince Pizzeria, the restaurant gave its toast to the town’s landslide votes. “A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR THE CHILDREN OF SAUGUS,” proclaimed the temporary message posted on one of the signs

Zachary has demonstrated remarkable resilience as he battles cancer, trying to live a normal life under abnormal circumstances for most kids his age, according to Beth Cummings. “He stayed on the principal’s list even though he was receiving treatments … He goes in twice a week for treatments,” she said. Meanwhile, Zachary’s parents maintain cautious optimism about his recovery. “It’s a two-year treatment plan,” Sean Cummings said. “We’re still in the early stages. He has to be in remission for two years in order to call the treatment a success. We’re hopeful.” Zachary seems to be taking things in stride, facing each day with a resolve that he will beat the disease. “I’m looking forward to going back to school and playing some football,” he said. “I know I can beat this.”

that greeted southbound Route 1 traffic Wednesday morning. “A great day for Saugus” Many school and town officials who campaigned aggressively for the two initiatives hailed the votes as “historic” steps that will improve a school system that for several years has been ranked by the state Department of Elementary Education at Level 3 – among the lowest performing 20 percent of schools. Saugus High School has also been ranked by the state as a Level 3 school while risking the loss of its accreditation because of deficiencies in the building. “This is a great day for the Town of Saugus and the students in the Saugus Public Schools,” Saugus High School Principal Michael Hashem told The Saugus Advocate this week. “It is an historic outcome. It shows a commitment to our town and it will provide our children with a well-deserved school system,” Hashem said. “It was a total community effort. The Town and the Schools came together and formed a solid Educational Plan for the future. Then the parents and community members rallied and supported the plan for the future,” he said. The election results left no doubt about the popularity of the initiatives which have been endorsed overwhelmingly by EDITOR’S NOTE: If you have a child or know of a family with a child suffering from cancer who might qualify for some assistance from Cops For Kids With Cancer, contact the Saugus Police Department at 781-941-1140 or email Police Chief Domenic J.

An interview with Leslie P. Vitale to talk about the legacy of his brother – Saugus Police Officer Harold L. Vitale, who was killed in the line of duty Editor’s Note: For this week, we sat down with Leslie P. Vitale, president of the Harold L. Vitale Memorial Fund, Inc. Les is also a brother of the Saugus police officer who was killed in the line of duty in June 1985. We asked about the success and future of the nonprofit fund, which was set up in honor of his brother and has generated more than $120,000 in scholarships over the past 23 years. And we asked him to share some reflections on Officer Vitale, the father of three children, who died doing his job 32 years ago last Sunday – Father’s Day. Les, 64, of Peabody, is a 1970 Revere High School graduate. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Bentley University (1974), where he also received a Master’s degree. He has been in charge of the memorial fund since its inception (1992). He is a retired partner at RSM US LLP, the leading provider of audit, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market, with over 9,000 people in 90 offices nationwide. Prior to RSM he was a Senior Partner at Vitale, Caturano, the then

ASKS | from page 7 ple of major things; one was to provide financial aid to the Town of Saugus for the benefit of the park and the upkeep of the park, should it be needed. Very little of it has been needed. So, we were able to continue to set that aside – money raised as an endowment (for the scholarships). And then, in addition to that, as we continue to have success raising funds, we created a second endowment for the purpose of making grants. And we decided over time that we wanted to choose something that was meaningful to law enforcement. It would be in alignment with law enforcement in particular – law enforcement families that have gone through what we went through and had been impacted by the death, the atrocity, etc. … And that exceeded our expectations. And there are a couple of organizations in particular that do a tremendous job that we did some research on that we found out about. They actually provided us some support when we were first victims.

And we made a decision then, as a family, that if we could, we should provide them something back for the emotional support that they gave. We decided that the least we could do is provide them some financial support, so we decided to donate some of the fund’s proceeds, annually to their support programs. They had one that was really particularly interesting to us. It was an Outward Bound program for kids that were law enforcement line-of-duty death children. And part of the reason for that – he was an avid outdoorsman – a camper. He used to take the kids camping quite a bit. And when we learned about Outward Bound, we learned about the value of outdoor life and learning to live and thrive and survive in the outdoors. And we learned more about how Outward Bound taught self-esteem and brought kids up to appreciate life and understand that there are other people just like them. So, the more we learned about Outward Bound, the more we learned about an organization called the Concerns Of Po-

Live Entertainment

lice Survivors, and the more we realized it was the right thing to do – so every year we started to give them grants. And I think the first grant we ever gave to their organization was probably like $2,500, which at the time was significant and we are very happy. But in some of our highlight fundraising years, those amounts have exceeded $30,000 to $35,000. So, collectively, over the years, that organization alone has received over $300,000 to $400,000 in grants from us. In general, some of the youth-related organizations or victims-type organizations in the local community in particular have received probably close to another $200,000. So we have given, now, well over $600,000 of grants, over and above everything else that we did. Q: And the exposure of the issue that people might take for granted: the risks of police officers and public safety, putting their lives on the line. A: One of the goals with the fund – if we could be successful financially – we realized it was a chance to have a voice and a mouthpiece to continue to say his name [Officer Vitale], state his name and control the tone and the theme of his name and what he represented to policeman as a father, as a community member, as a person. Whenever we meet people who know him or met other people who knew

him, the stories about the quality of the person that he was are incredible. He was a humble guy. But through all that humbleness, oftentimes there are things we don’t know about people unless you are with them all of the time. And then we hear these unbelievable stories and we then we realize, “Gee, I had no idea that he helped these people.” Q: What’s the best Harold Vitale story that you heard? A: There’s a couple that come to mind. One of the most difficult ones: He was called to a scene during the day in the middle of the summer – a 911 distress call. He was first on the scene. The EMTs showed up shortly after. When he went into the backyard, a young child – an infant – had fallen into the pool while family was around, and they somehow lost sight of it. And he just reacted – he jumped into the pool and pulled the baby out and performed as best he could, resuscitation procedures, and they failed. And I remember, he came to the house late that afternoon for a Sunday family dinner, which was a tradition, and my mother could tell something was wrong, and he very seldom talked about the job. And she had heard something because she worked the night shift in Revere at a coffee shop. And she knew all of the local policemen. And through words and connections, the story had gotten back to her

that he had been involved in a very, very difficult situation. And, as a mother, she sensed something was wrong, and she finally got it out of him. And he said, “I just had the worst day of my life. I failed to save a baby’s life.” And I remember sitting there as a young kid, understanding at that point that he wasn’t just my brother who had a uniform and a gun that looked really cool. You know, his job was really to save lives, and sometimes you don’t. So that story was told in the substance of what it represents, but it should make people understand about law enforcement as first responders. They use the term first responders for a reason, and it’s kind of scary. The other one was there was a major airline accident – a crash at Logan Airport – and I remember … again, I had come home and I can remember my parents telling me that it was on the news. And the next thing we know, we were watching TV and we see police all over the tarmac with ambulances and fire engines and a Saugus police cruiser. And, lo and behold, Harold had convinced the department to let him go help find the victims. So, a couple of things when I was young did that for me. But I think the thing about him … the law enforcement stuff and the stuff he did, like, that are maybe

Calling it right Retired attorney Arthur Gustafson was confident town would pass new school building project by a 2-1 margin By Mark E. Vogler

A

rthur E. Gustafson Jr. was confident Monday and Tuesday, as stood on the sidewalk in from Town Hall, holding a sign and ringing a school bell to encourage passersby to vote for a new school building. “I’ll say it’s going to come out at least 2-1 in favor of the ballot questions,” the 85-year-old Saugus native predicted on Monday afternoon. “I think there’s a new pride in Saugus and people are willing to pay for a new school for our kids. This for me is going to be a real turning point for this town,” he said. Gustafson said he based his confidence on what he observed in 2015 of the town’s political scene when he served as chair of the SAVE Saugus Political Action Committee, the group involved in the successful 2015 recall of four selectmen after the firing of Town Manager Scott Crabtree, who was later rehired. The retired attorney, bedecked in an outfit dressed up like an Uncle Sam character, turned out to be right as he watched the election returns come into the Town Clerk’s Office from the town precincts. “I think it’s a new day for the children of Saugus,” Gustafson said when it was clear that Saugus residents passed two ballot questions by more than the 2-1 margin he had predicted. “They’re finally going to have an opportunity to compete with other cities and towns

RINGING IN THE VOTES: Armed with a school bell he once used when he played Santa Claus and wearing the sign calling for a “Yes” vote on the ballot questions for a new middle-high school building and rennovations of two other schools, Arthur E. Gustafson Jr. campaigns outside of Town Hall this week.

that provide complete facilities for their students. These kids are going to have a future. I am so pleased for them,” he said. “I really think this is going to open up a whole new avenue for our community. A fine, new school building is going to attract fine teachers. It will also give Crabtree the chance to venture out on other things. I think there’s going to be a complete change in attitude in our education and in our government,” he said Gustafson blames officials who ran town government for years and the fiscally-conservative residents who elected them for the poor conditions of the schools and the adverse conditions that students and teachers work under. “The taxpayers were never willing to spend adequate funds to put out a first rate school. Everything was always tied directly to the tax bill,”Gus-

tafson recalled. “As long as they kept it low, they wouldn’t care if you went to school in a pup tent. I would say they wanted to be very frugal with an attitude -- ‘We’d like to do it, but we really can’t afford to pay any more in taxes. Gustafson recalled his years at the old Saugus High, located at the intersection of Winter and Central streets, where he graduated from in 1949. “In the spring, the floor would lift up and it wouldn’t go back down until it dried out,” Gustafson said. “This was the quality of school that we ‘deserved’ in those days because we didn’t know any better. Well, if you want a first class town, we have to start with a first class school system. And, apparently that’s the feeling of the town now,” he said

PROJECT | from page 10 to a recall of four selectmen in March of 2015, several months after those selectmen voted to fire Crabtree. “Great job – glad to have you sitting there,” Board of Selectmen Vice Chairman Scott Brazis told Crabtree. “I’d like to thank everybody at home that did go out and vote yesterday,” Brazis said, addressing the cable television viewers at home. “I truly believe this is going to be a huge culture change for our community for years to come.” In his remarks to colleagues, Selectman Mark Mitchell called the Special Election one of two “history-altering votes” that he played a role in during recent years. The other significant was the recall election. “Three years ago, people we’re saying it wasn’t a unified town. … Two

and a half years ago, people took control of our town. Now, we’re pushing our town forward,” Mitchell said. Selectman Jeffrey Cicolini heaped praise on the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) leaders, youth group leaders and others who campaigned hard for the new school project. Cicolini called it “a herculean effort.” Board of Selectman Chairman Debra Panetta credited a lot of people with being responsible for a promising future for Saugus Public Schools. “I’m so excited to see everyone get involved – people of all ages – even children holding signs … We couldn’t have done that without everyone working together for a common goal,” Panetta said. Selectman D’Eon said she be-

lieves the citizens’ successful recall campaign which later led to Crabtree’s reinstatement actually laid down a good foundation to build on for this week’s Special Election victory. “More than three years ago – just days before the Massachusetts School Building Authority was preparing to come to town to look at the High School, the Board of Selectmen that was in office fired the town manager,” D’Eon recalled. “And soon after, the recall of that board was initiated. Many people my age stood up and finally said,‘You’re not looking out for the town. The next generation is not going to stay here,’” she said. It was only about a decade ago that another initiative for a new high school failed. D’Eon said a new high school should have been built about two decades ago. And when it wasn’t, it was a great disservice to the children, she suggested. “Children know when they don’t have a great school to go to, or a nice park to go to … You want to give them a school of success, a school that makes them feel like they are valued and that they deserve facilities that are as good as kids anywhere in the state are getting,” D’Eon said. “Thank you to every Saugonian who voted. Credit is due to all of the residents who voted for positive changes in Saugus. Visionaries live in the future, they build a new tomorrow. Saugus is excelling and our children will be the real winners.”

A day of reflection Widow of Saugus Police Officer Harold L. Vitale finds joy in the scholarships given in her late husband’s honor By Mark E. Vogler

his time of year usually stirs up bad memories and heartache for Eileen Vitale, the widow of Saugus Police Offi-

“June 18 is always a tough day for me, it always has been and always will be,” Mrs. Vitale said last Saturday morning, as she joined a small gathering at the Ballard Street park named in honor of Officer Vitale. But it was evident from the smile that beamed across her face that she enjoyed the occasion – the 23rd annual Vitale Memorial Fund Scholarship Awards Ceremony. Seven students from area communities – three of them the children of police officers – each received a $1,000 scholarship this year. “I love to see the recipients get the rewards for their hard work,” Mrs. Vitale said in an interview after the ceremony. “It’s good for them and it’s good for me. It’s great that we’re able to continue to do this – to honor Harold and to keep his memory alive,” she said. The Vitale Memorial Fund has presented scholarships totaling $120,000 to 120 students over the past two-plus decades, according to Les Vitale, of Peabody, a brother of the late Saugus officer and president of the fund. “Despite the years we enjoy the opportunity to award scholarships to these kids,” Les Vitale said. “His premature death meant he missed a lot – like his children’s graduations, their marriages, the birth of grandchildren – but we carry on for him. This year marks 23 consecutive years of granting scholarships; we couldn’t be prouder,” he said.

They all were required to write an essay as part of their application. Gianni Hill, president of the Revere High School Class of 2017, made a deep impression on this year’s memorial fund committee. “I especially enjoyed reading Gianni’s story of his upbringing and learning how to overcome some adversity and learn to represent his family at a very young age by the power of listening and seeking to understand in order to help others,”Les Vitale said at Saturday’s ceremony, reading from prepared remarks. He played football and was captain of both the JV and Freshman teams as a result of his leadership. He went on to run for Class President and serve as a student representative of the Revere School Committee. He ranked 9th in his class out of nearly 400 students and served his last three years as president of the Class of 2017. Gianni and his family live just a few blocks from where the Vitale family grew up. “With an eye towards improving the lives of others and bringing about change Gianni will head off to Hamilton College starting out in the Political Science field and determine where his life’s journey will take him,”

A moment of silence for another fallen cop Isabelle Charbonnier and her family have a special connection to the Vitale family – a relative and law enforcement officer who was killed in the line of duty. The late State Trooper Mark Charbonnier was on a routine patrol in the Kingston area on Rt. 3 on Sept. 2, 1994, when he pulled a car over at about 3 a.m. The suspect, a paroled killer, went to retrieve his papers from the glove box to comply with the trooper’s request, but instead pulled out a gun and shot Charbonnier at point blank FAMILIES UNITE: The seven scholarship winners and their families gathered for the Officer Harrange.

During last Saturday’s scholarship awards ceremony, Les Vitale asked the gathering to pause for a moment of silence for Officer Vitale, Trooper Charbonnier and the more than 300 officers who have given their lives in the line of duty.

helping to create awareness about some noble causes that help the families of other law enforcement officers who encountered similar experiences. “I’ve been the department liaison to the Vitale family basically since that night – and it was the worst night of my career,” recalled Hart, who was the commanding officer on duty at the station that night. He notified Mrs. Vitale at her home about her husband’s death. “Here was a tragic situation where an officer was killed in the line of duty. The amazing thing is how much positivity the Vitales have brought out of this through an astronomical amount of scholarships and donations to help the families of other police officers who were victims,” said Hart, who retired in 2002. “This is quite a legacy for Officer Vitale to have left unknowingly,” he said.

KEEPING HIS MEMORY ALIVE: Eileen Vitale, the widow of the late Saugus Police Officer Harold L. Vitale, says 23 years of awarding scholarships in honor of her husband gives her joy and helps her cope with the anniversary of his being killed in the line duty more than three decades ago.

The VITALE MEMORIAL FUND AT WORK: Les Vitale, of Peabody, a brother of the late Saugus officer and president of the Officer Harold L. Vitale Memorial Fund, says the fund has generated $120,000 in scholarships and about $600,000 to help fund organizations that assist the families of officers killed or wounded in the line of duty. The fund was initially set up to help maintain Vitale Memorial Park in Saugus.

Editor’s Note: The Officer Vitale Memorial Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization and was created in 1992 some seven years after Officer Vitale’s death. Officer Vitale was killed in the line of duty in the

early morning hours of June 18, 1985; while attempting to make an arrest, he was dragged over 1,000 feet to his death. Officer Vitale was 42 at the time and married to his wife, Eileen, and lived

in Ipswich with three children: Paul, Michelle and JacLyn. Officer Vitale’s badge #17 was retired upon his death. The Officer Vitale Memorial Park was constructed by the Town of Saugus in 1992 in

his honor. On Monday, August 7 at noon, the Memorial Fund will be hosting its annual Golf Tournament at Ipswich Country Club. (Information was submitted by Les Vi-

this is the way you have got to do it. Because, after all, that’s Vitale Pride. It’s what it is all about. And one simple thing that he did and instilled in all of us was my mother made Sunday dinner every Sunday, no matter who was coming. We were a big family. And then when folks get married, the family was extended, so it was not unusual to have a minimum of 15 to upwards of 25 people at the house on Sunday. And there was always enough food. But his big thing – and he was not the oldest and he was not the youngest and nobody appointed him the boss – if somebody didn’t come and they didn’t call my mother, he was the one who called us out, and he called it out right at the table or he would call it out the next week … and it was short and sweet. “Where were you last week?”

And then, you would tell him where you were. And he’d say, “Well, that’s not good enough. Why didn’t you call?”And then he would go one step further and say, “Mom worked all night, the night before. She got the meal ready all day, the day before. And the meal was on the table enough for you and everybody else. And the least you could do would be to call and say you are not coming.” And that became somewhat the tone or the theme inside the family. And, he just had that pride about what family was all about. I was younger. I never really thought much about it. How do you get like that? Did my father instill it in him? Did my mother? But, I think that being in the law enforcement business – and he was a military guy also – he understood respect and he took it really serious and maybe

more seriously than some people do. And that was his way of using a day-to-day life example – his way of saying basic things in life, they don’t get here by accident and cherish every moment. And he did an amazing job with that when he became a father and did the camping trips, showing the kids the greater outdoors and showing them how to respect it ... showing them how to be prepared for it ... showing them about getting ready, picking up and cleaning up. He just had that way about him, and he was the one we used to say hated school the most. But we often think that he might have hated school because he was bored with it, because, otherwise, he was so smart about so many things – about basic values in life. But he also was a crackerjack mechanic. He was certainly

unbelievable with a weapon – hunting weapons, bow and arrow, guns and rifle. He was totally knowledgeable about them. His knowledge was certainly about things mechanical and physical, which he loved to do, but he also understood politics. He understood life. He understood behavior. He worked with juveniles all of the time. Q: If he had lived, would he had been a lifer as a law enforcement officer? A: Yeah. He did that because he realized the benefits of a job like law enforcement might not pay the most while you are working it. Q: Would he have stayed a police officer or would he have gone on to become a commanding officer or even a police chief?

ASKS | from page 8 the kinds of stories you expect to hear and know and understand, because he was a policeman, and he was good at it. And it was great for me as a brother to develop pride, but the thing about pride that he brought to my family (and again, I was the youngest) – the thing about pride – we have this saying in my family we use all the time; we call it “Vitale Pride.” And we think about Vitale Pride. The name came from my brother Harold. And he would talk about it when he was younger and heard about some things in the family – somebody in the family should have been doing or shouldn’t have been doing – something to be proud of or something not to be proud of. And he would talk about: If you are going to be a Vitale, then

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, June 23, 2017

ASKS | from page 14 A: He talked about that. We used to say, “Gee, you could take one of the sergeant’s exams.”But he would always say, “No, I don’t want that.” Q: He only wanted to be a cop. A: He always wanted to be a cop. He always wanted to be on the street. But you know, as time goes on, who knows? He was only 42 at the time, a 14-year veteran. You don’t know after 22 years whether he would have felt the same. We do not know. I do know that if he had taken on an administrator’s job, he would have tried to keep the connection to the guys on the street. A lot of the guys on the street and the officers who were administrators would tell us that he was a pain in the butt, driving you crazy with protocol and trying to buck the system. But he always believed that what he was doing was a better way – better crews, better safety, a better treatment of the fellow officers, better respect of the community. And even when it came to arresting a juvenile, the future of the city – there were a lot of kids that didn’t like him – but over time, there were a lot of kids over time, when they got older, came to us and said, “He was the guy when I was young and naïve; he got me out of trouble multiple times.”I was told, many, many times that he was old school. He drove kids home, knocked on the door, brought them into the parents and said, “Keep a closer eye on them. You’re lucky I brought him home. The next time, I might not, or the next time he might not make it home.” That was Harold. And that’s what made him unique. Q: So, after 23 years of handing out scholarships and helping the survivors of police officers killed in the line of duty or severely injured, do you feel you have surpassed the initial expectations of the memorial fund? A: Yes, absolutely, without question. Q: And looking ahead, long af-

ter you’re gone, have set things up so this will continue? A: It’s set up to a certain extent. We need the children and the cousins who are very involved to have a keen interest in it, and really give them some on-the-job training – that over the next decade – having them get involved in organizing the events, managing the foundation and managing the finances of it, fiscally responsibly. It should be easy to give out money, as they say, but it’s not – giving out money for the right reasons, for the right causes. We get a lot of requests all of the time. They’re difficult to turn down. But we have a very strong board and the board is getting older, and what we recognize now is we now need to bring on – it would be great to have family involved – but the one thing that makes our board great right now is they are not just family. There are outside people – friends of ours – that have different backgrounds: education, business, law enforcement. Q: Any recipients of past scholarships involved? A: Yes. Q: So, it’s been like a feeder system? A: Yes. It’s a feeder system and there is a lot of connectivity to it. This has all of the ingredients to have a succession plan and continue to last. And, I think the biggest challenge is we have done a really good job of raising money over a long period of time because of our network. The chal-

lenge, for the next generation if they take it over, is going to be who’s the person who is going to write them the check for this foundation for $5,000? And that’s not easy, because of the donors themselves, at some point, also get older, and then they stop donating. They sell the business off. Q: Your fund has been known around the country, right? A: Correct. Q: And you articulate this issue of families of police killed or wounded in the line of duty. Right? Like the Police Memorial banner you have bearing all the names of Massachusetts officers killed in the line of duty. A: Correct. The banner has been through multiple states. It’s been to Washington, D.C. It’s been on Capitol Hill. Q: Your group is the custodian of that banner, right? A: Yep. And we take pride in it. And, unfortunately, when we have to add another name, my brother Bobby and I kind of manage that banner. We manage the wall. Q: How many years have you been doing the banner? A: Actually, we did the banner in 1990, which was two years before this park was dedicated. We were going to Washington, D.C., to the National Police Ceremony services and we thought it would really be a cool idea – the two of us (his brother Bob and him) thought about it on the way down – if we could get a rolling banner with all of the names of the police victims, which is now

J&S

Page 15

a popular thing. Like the Vietnam Memorial, they have rolling and moving banners that go across the country so people can see them. We decided to do one for Massachusetts and it’s exceeded our wild imagination. Q: How many names on that banner now?

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, June 23, 2017

THE SOUNDS OF SAUGUS

By Mark Vogler

H

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

Jury Duty Denied -- Again Being able to participate as a juror in a courtroom trial has always been one of those elusive goals on my personal bucket list. I always believed it would be a fulfilling experience -- just once -- to sit there in the jury box, listening to witness testimony and reviewing other evidence before deliberating with other jurors in deciding someone’s guilt or innocence. I’m four for four now in failing to reach that goal. Of course, when your last name begins with a “V” and court officers are setting jury pools alphabetically, there’s little chance of getting impaneled. For instance, even though I showed up in the jury room at Lawrence District Court 15 minutes earlier than anyone else, I received a small paper sheet with Number 13 on it. The court clerk got as far as calling potential juror Number 12 before myself and five other potential jurors were told we were no long needed by the court. So, to my disappointment, it will be another three to five years before I receive another summons for jury service. And, there’s no reason to believe the outcome will be any different the next time I get called, based on past experience. Whether it’s appearing at the courthouse in Salem, Newburyport or Lawrence, I never get the chance answer questions from the judge or the prosecution and defense lawyers. But, I still have to get up early enough so I can meet the 8:30 a.m. deadline for orientation -- to watch a movie and to hear several short speeches on how I would be exercising one of the most fundamental responsibilities of citizenship. It’s the equivalent of sitting in a classroom for half a day while preparing for a quiz that the teacher is never going to give me. The irony is that most of the people I meet in jury selection sessions don’t seem thrilled with performing this civic duty the way I would be. They just don’t want to be asked Believe it or not, I had a much easier time finding a candidate who opposed the ballot questions in this week’s Special Election to be interview for our weekly question and answer feature The Advocate Asks than I did in finding a person who supported the new school building project and wouldn’t mind talking about. One of those people was School Committee Chair Jeannie Meredith, who also chairs the School Building Committee. I invited her to sit down for a question and answer session several times. Given her background as the chair of two important committees having to deal with the new school, Jeannie would have been as a good a choice as any to fill questions about the new school. I guess I was wrong, because she didn’t even take the time to call back to give a formal “yes” or “no” Hopefully, she’ll be more accessible as a candidate if she decides to run for re-election for the School Committee. But I have no regrets interviewing first-term Town Meeting Member Jonathan M. McTague of Precinct 9. As a fairly recent graduate of Saugus High (2014), he was both knowledgeable about the spe-

cific building and academic deficiencies at Saugus High and articulate in talking about them. I drew some static from some quarters in doing a question and answer session with Town Meeting Member William S. Brown on why he opposed to the new High School project. He also was articulate in expressing his views, as unpopular as they may be. But, he represents an opinion that deserves to be heard. And that’s what democracy in an old New England town is all about. Exercising one’s rights to speak on the issues. 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. Town Hall renovations coming The good news is that there’s $200,000 available from last year’s Town Meeting that can be spent this summer on sprucing up Town Hall. The bad news is that officials probably won’t get assessment of what needs to be done until contractors take a closer look at the outside of the building and determining what needs to be fixed. Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree told selectmen Wednesday night that he would like to get some exterior work completed before the winter. The roof is in “good condition,” he said, other than a few pieces missing. Obviously, Crabtree is concerned about work that was neglected on the historic building which should have been done years ago. For instance, he noted that some of the old paint should have been stripped down to the wood instead of being left to paint over. Some of the facia boards need to be replaced, according to 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 sets 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 Rund 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, Teen TV Summer Workshop This just in from Michelle Madar, production manager at Saugus Community Television Inc.

This partnership has also included reviewing potential end uses for the filled quarry. To achieve this milestone, Aggregate Industries also worked closely with and received ap-

provals from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife and the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. Approvals and permits outline the specific fill materials that can be used throughout the process, including soils generated from both Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) and non-MCP disposal sites, out-of-state soils, dredged material and blasted rock. Per MassDEP requirements,

any materials that arrive at the site must come from a known, tested source, with licensed site professionals overseeing both the generator’s soil and operations at the reclamation project. At the Saugus site, Aggregate Industries currently operates two asphalt plants, a readymix concrete plant, quarrying and crushing activities, maintenance and other related activities. These industrial operations at the site will remain in operation throughout the reclamation process.

Saugus Rotary to offer new scholarship T

he Saugus Rotary Club has recently announced, through President Dan Pranka, that they will be offering a scholarship that is new and unique to the Club and the Town. As many

ASKS | from page 15 A: The thing that I would share is that we’re only one organization that represents many, and I hope that maybe this is somehow an inspiration to other people to recognize the importance of it [the issue of law enforcement killed in the line of duty and helping their families] and do the same thing. As they say, it takes a village. You know, not any one person, so I hope that maybe that this could be an inspiration to stimulate the village and create the village because it truly takes a village to do that. And it would be great to see, because being a family member of law enforcement going through what we’ve been through, the one thing that I know is every day, what these guys on the job is – I have an appreciation that I think a lot of people don’t have, for how difficult the job is in today’s day and age, let alone 35 years ago. And, it’s extremely

they have termed a “Second Chance” scholarship. The purpose of this scholarship is to provide financial assistance for a single parent who is looking to reenter the workforce after having

more difficult with body cameras and dashboard cameras and cellphones – split second decisions. And, you know, the old saying is – in the law enforcement first respondent profession – is the first instinct is to run toward danger. In the social world, the first instinct is to blame somebody. And I think that what we try to do with the message is – it’s really cool to raise money, it’s really cool to give out money – but the message was my brother was an honorable person who gave his life for what he did. He ran towards danger. It cost him his life. But I know there are other times in life that he ran toward danger and saved lives, and in some cases he wasn’t successful. But he lived with it in either case and took it home with him, in either case. And, I just think that something gets lost in the translation, because I sometimes think people believe that it could be fixed through better training or

softball or golf, he was involved in the SHS athletic program. In Saugus, there are no lights for night games. A few years ago the department rented lights for our first-ever night football game. Though this was a great event, the department simply could not afford the cost of the light towers. Hearing that this event would not happen again, Anthony donated the necessary funds for the lights to be an annual event. Not only does Anthony donate the funds every year, but he coordinates the entire job to make it possible to host night games in football and field hockey. These night games are the highlight of the season to many, and they would not be possible without him. Throughout the past few years, Anthony has also been volunteering as a member of Athletic Subcommittee. This committee, as part of the Saugus School Committee, helps with various components within the athletic department. Anthony was integral in helping increase academic standards, lowering user fees and helping develop new offerings within the department. Anthony has also volunteered several times over the past few years to sit on various interview panels for the hiring of new coaches. He is an intelligent man

who is able to articulate his opinion in a respectful and productive manner. Based on his knowledge of SHS sports and Saugus youth sports, he was always welcomed to be a part of the committee regardless of the sport. Much of what Cogliano does to benefit SHS is behind the scenes, and he often asks that his contributions be confidential; thus, his donations and his

time are unknown to the people in the Saugus community. To say Anthony Cogliano is a generous man and a man who is always willing to help the children in Saugus is an understatement. Cogliano clearly embodies the attributes of this prestigious award, and Saugus High School is very thankful and appreciative for all Anthony has done over the years.

Gun scare at Square One Police capture a 16-year-old Everett suspect after he eludes massive mall search By Mark E. Vogler

P

olice Chief Domenic J. DiMella said his department is concerned about how a 16-year-old Everett boy got his hands on a bolt-action rifle he allegedly took during a breakin at Dick’s Sporting Goods at the Square One Mall in Saugus early Monday morning. DiMella said agents of the U.S. Justice Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have been investigating the situation to determine how the weapon was obtained and whether proper procedures were filed. “We will look at their report after they complete their investigation to see if there are any issues we need to address as to how he obtained the firearms,” the chief said in an interview this week. Meanwhile, the Everett teen arrested in connection with the crime has been held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for today, according to Carrie Kimball Monahan, Director of Communications for the Essex District Attorney’s Of-

POINT OF ENTRY: Saugus Police say a 16-year-old Everett boy smashed this window in his burglary of Dick’s Sporting Goods at the Square One Mall in Saugus on Monday morning. His alleged theft of a rifle and ammunition touched off a shutdown of the mall for several hours and heightened security. Police later arrested the juvenile in Everett and later recovered the rifle and ammunition. (Saugus Advocate photo by Mark E. Vogler)

fice. The youth, whose name is being withheld because he is a juvenile, was arraigned in Lynn Juvenile Court earlier this week. He was charged with Breaking and Entering in the Nighttime for a Felony; with Wanton Destruction of Property Over $250; with Larceny of a Firearm; with Carrying a Firearm without a License; and with Possession of Ammunition without an

FID card. Saugus Police received a burglar alarm for Dick’s Sporting Goods at about 4:20 a.m. on Monday. An officer arrived quickly and observed a smashed window and evidence of a breakin. He soon observed a male suspect in possession of a long gun, Chief DiMella said.

NEMLEC Swat Team and Police K-9 units from across the region responded, but police couldn’t locate the suspect. After reviewing surveillance film later in the morning, investigators determined that the suspect escaped through a side door shortly after the first officer arrived. From reviewing the surveillance film, police identified the suspect and arrested him in Everett without incident at about 11:30 a.m. Monday. Saugus police confirmed that the bolt-action rifle recovered in a wooded area near the mall early Monday evening was part of the store’s inventory. Police recovered other evidence connected to the break-in. No other firearms are believed to be missing from Dick’s Sporting Goods. Several local schools briefly sheltered in place out of an abundance of caution. The opening of the mall was delayed, and the Dick’s Sporting Goods didn’t open Monday. “This was a true team effort today to ensure everyone’s safety and security today … I am very pleased that the firearm has been recovered and that there is no longer any lingering danger from this incident to the community,” Chief DiMella said.
