Making “the Oak� rock Back to school!

New Oaklandvale Elementary School principal has an extensive background in performing and teaching music

By Mark E. Vogler lot of folks will face the music this year at Oaklandvale Elementary School. And it should be a very pleasant experience for the some 290 students and the 28 teachers who begin classes next Tuesday (Aug. 28), according to Michael A. Smith, the school’s new principal who plans to expose his students to more music and arts education. “I’m very happy to bring new energy and new creativity to the district – but at the same time focus on traditions that Saugus has always held to,� Smith said in an interview this week. “I’m not looking to reinvent the wheel. But with my background in the arts, I’m looking to elevate the Oak [Oaklandvale Elementary School] to exposure

to the arts and artistic opportunities,� he said.

Smith, a Raleigh, N.C., native, has immersed himself in music since childhood when he sang in his church choir at age 11. He continues to perform in various side jobs outside of his career as an educator.

He sings as a member of First Class Band, which performs at weddings and events in the Boston area. He also has his own DJ business, performing at weddings, proms and private events. He also loves to dance and play the piano.

The new principal hinted that he might be inclined to share some of his music talents at Oaklandvale if it helps to enhance the educational experience for his students.

By Mark E. Vogler hen more than 700 students converge at Saugus High School next Tuesday (Aug. 28), it will mark the nextto-the-last academic year of occupancy in the sprawling, old schoolhouse that was built in 1954.

But High School Principal Michael Hashem said in an interview this week that he and his staff are already into the second year of transition for the future Saugus MiddleHigh School that is targeted to open its doors to the freshman Class of 2020 in the fall of that year.

Many of the neighbors who live by the high school are concerned about the traffic issues and noise that they dread could develop when schools buses arrive in their neighborhood Tuesday morning. Pierce Memorial Drive has been barricaded during the day for much of this month as con-

Layoff helped his career New SHS assistant principal tells how he “fell in love” with teaching after losing job

By Mark E. Vogler ick Doucette figures he took a 20 to 30 percent pay cut by switching his career in engineering to one in education. But the 1987 Saugus High School graduate who recently began a new job as the school’s assistant principal in charge of discipline said he has no regrets

R

for that decision.

“I fell in love with teaching during a layoff,” Doucette said an interview this week.

He was working for a Wakefield engineering company when he lost his job in early 2001. He went to work at the Lynnhurst School as a substitute teacher. By year’s end, he had found work with anoth-

er engineering company, but had already decided he wanted to teach.

“I was teaching math for a Fifth Grade class at the Lynnhurst. And the class was working on a problem of how you multiply two numbers by three numbers,” Doucette recalled.

“There was this little girl who couldn’t get it. And when she finally got it, she was so excited that I saw her brown eyes pop, and that was one of the best moments I’ve ever had,” he said.

“When I got out of work that day, I called my wife to tell her about it. That was the moment that catapulted me into teaching,” he said.

Doucette, a former Saugus School Committee member who also served on the Saugus Town Meeting (1999-2007), received his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering at University of Massachusetts Lowell (1991). But to be a teacher, he had to go back to school to get more education. He earned his Master of Business Administration in Information Age Marketing from Bentley University (2004). Later, he received a Master of Education in Educational Leader-

ship and Administration (2009).

He is currently a doctoral student at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, studying Leadership in Schooling. He expects to complete his degree next spring.

Doucette wound up going to work as an engineering teacher at North Reading High School in the fall of 2002. He continued to work there for nearly 16 years until recently getting appointed to the assistant principal position at Saugus High School.

“It’s nice to be back home again,” said Doucette, a lifelong Saugus resident. “It’s nice to know everybody and I’m excited to be here,” he said.

Doucette, his wife, Julie, and their daughter, Genevieve, live in the house which he grew up in and later bought from his parents. “My daughter is the fourth generation of the family to live in the house because my parents bought the house from my grandparents. There’s been somebody in the family living in that house since 1945,” he said.

The disciplinarian of Saugus High Doucette said his primary role will be overseeing student discipline at Saugus High School. “My main thing will be getting to know the student body and setting high levels

Teddi Zeboski explains how she uses the Red Sox and baseball to teach her 2nd graders teamwork while making learning fun

“IT’S MY HOOK�: Second-Grade Teacher Teddi Zeboski gets her classroom at the Oaklandvale Elementary School decorated this week with Red Sox memorabilia in preparation for the start of the 2018-19 academic school year at Saugus Public Schools. (Saugus Advocate Photo by Mark E. Vogler)

ditor’s Note: For this week’s interview, we sat down with Teddi Zeboski, a veteran teacher at the Oaklandvale Elementary School who has a unique teaching style in a one-of-a-kind classroom that kids call “The Red Sox Room.� A Saugus native and 1983 Saugus High School graduate, she is beginning her 23rd year as an educator. She has taught the last 12 years at the Oaklandvale School. She says she’s “proud to teach in the town I grew up in.�

She also notes that she was the secretary of her senior class, was a pom-pom girl in the band and was vice president in the drama club. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Fitchburg State College, with a minor in Spanish (1987). She is a lifelong resident of Saugus.

She and her husband, Glen Zeboski, celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary last week. They have two grown daughters – both Saugus High School graduates who attended local schools – Ashley, who received a degree in fashion merchandising from Framingham State University and now works at Allsaints on Newbury Street in Boston; and Brittni, who just graduated from Keene State College in Boston with a degree in Psychology. She now works as a mental health specialist at McLean Hospital in Belmont. Some highlights of this week’s interview follow.

E

Q: Please tell me about the origin of all of these Boston Red Sox baseball things around your classroom.

A: Yes. Like I said, the kids – before they have me – they think I’m the baseball teacher.

But, as soon as they start here, they know it’s not about base-

ball. It’s about team. Every year I used to have a different theme.

I’ve had this theme for 12 years.

During the summertime, I think about having a theme that I will have for that year. In the news, there was a story about a child that had committed suicide because of bullying. And, as a parent, that’s so tragic to me. And as a teacher, too.

Q: How many years ago was that?

A: Twelve – twelve years ago, so that was the summer that I was thinking of the theme. And I wanted to somehow make a mark by doing something to contribute as a teacher. I was teaching third grade at the time. You might ask, “Does bullying exist in the third grade?�

It does. But we know it’s more graduated in higher grades, so I said to myself, “What I can I do?

I have to do something. I am with kids every day. What can I do?â€? I walked into a local party store and I saw the life-size cardboard cutout of David Ortiz. And I got the idea, “That’s it!â€? And I decided it was going to be about team; and I decided we were going to start a vocabulary of collaboration, cooperation, helping each other – working together, putting our minds together. Everyone needs help sometime, so we’re going to use that vocabulary all year, so I thought that could be my piece to help counteract the effects of bullying. ‌ Of working together, collaboration, cooperation, MVPs – for “Most Valuable People.â€? So, the next year, it just turned out that I decided that’s going to be my piece. And everything grew and I’ve added to the things in the room over the past 12 years – a lot of the Red Sox things. Some were gifts

Page 3

from the kids. Also, they know this class is not about baseball, but it’s all about team. And you don’t have to be a Red Sox player. Your family is a team. Your dance company is a team. Your soccer team. In here, this class is a team. We help each other.

Q: All these Red Sox items in this room are so cheery. And it reinforces a team spirit?

A: Absolutely.

Q: And all of the values that go with that?

A: Absolutely. And role models – I’m not the only teacher in the room. We help each other. We all need help sometime, and that can kind of be my piece to help counteract the effects of bullying. And the kids gravitate right towards it.

Q: It’s basically the same outlook in the classroom every year?

A: Yes. For 12 years it has been. Previously every year was different. One year was race cars: “Race to the top.� One year it was circus. Every year I’ve done the team – I’ve done it for 12 years – I feel that’s my piece.

And I can do more valuable work, and it’s kind of my hook to pull the kids in. But when they gravitate towards it, they know it’s about team.

Q: So, you’ve got a lot of Red Sox stuff you have accumulated over the last 12 years.

A: I’ve got a Red Sox umbrella, some posters from the kids, all the buckets, rugs. Every year I add something. The rugs are new this year. The year before,

By Mark E. Vogler obody has gotten to know Saugus Police Chief Domenic DiMella like Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree.

Crabtree worked with him on three levels: first as a Saugus police officer for more than a decade; later as a selectman who got to review budgets and discuss citizen concerns about public safety. He ultimately became the chief’s boss after becoming town manager.

The town manager shared some of that perspective in an email to The Saugus Advocate yesterday, as he commented on DiMella’s decision to retire effective next Saturday (Sept.

1) – his last official day on the job. “It has been a great honor and privilege to work alongside Chief DiMella over the years, in my current capacity as Town Manager and prior to that, as the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen and as a Saugus police officer,� Crabtree told The Saugus Advocate. “Chief DiMella has worked incredibly hard to implement and uphold the highest standard of safety and professionalism within the Saugus Police Department and in the department’s service across the community overall. Chief DiMella will be sorely missed,� the town manager said. “He is much more than a Police Chief; he is an asset to the residents of Saugus and a longtime friend of mine. I wish him the best in this exciting next chapter of his life,� he said.

DiMella had left a voicemail with The Saugus Advocate on Wednesday afternoon, confirming his plans to leave. He could not be reached for comment

yesterday.

DiMella served 29 years on the Saugus Police Department. “Chief DiMella should be very proud of numerous accomplishments during his time as Police Chief in Saugus. He played an integral role in the Saugus Police Department’s three-year accreditation, which was certified in 2016 by the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission, Inc. for the department’s full demonstration of its commitment to police excellence,� Crabtree said in his email.

The chief, according to Crabtree, “has identified the department’s needs, applied for, and received many grants over the years, which included essential funding for training, safety equipment, bullet proof vests, children’s car seats, the life-saving opioid overdose treatment Narcan, and much more ‌ Chief DiMella has also demonstrated great empathy by partnering with Cops for Kids with Cancer to provide two local children battling cancer with private police escorts and a donation for their families.â€?

Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta echoed Crabtree’s comments in an email to The Saugus Advocate yesterday. “Chief DiMella has done an out-

standing job for Saugus over the years and will certainly be missed,� Panetta said. “One of his most noteworthy accomplishments was leading the police department through a Certification and Accreditation process to ensure that Saugus was using best practices in the Police Department,� she said. “This process required the Police Department to be in compliance with 246 mandatory and numerous optional standards including communications, crime analysis, fiscal management, traffic, drug enforcement, crime analysis, and more.�

Panetta noted that according to the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission, Inc. this accreditation certifies that the Saugus Police Department “has fully demonstrated its commitment to police excellence by living up to a body of progressive standards to ensure that the delivery of police services within the Commonwealth is at the highest level of professionalism and integrity and having reflected the best professional practices in each area of police management, administration, operations, and support services.�

On behalf of the Board of Selectmen, Panetta extended him best wishes for his retirement.

He will be monitoring student attendance, absenteeism and detention data in particular.

“You can’t learn if you’re not here … I’ll try to keep the kids in class so they can learn. We want to try to maximize student attendance – keep them in the classroom and keep them learning,” Doucette said.

With construction of the new Saugus Middle-High School underway and the high school part scheduled to open in the fall of 2020, Doucette said, the community investment should help school officials to inspire better academic performance over the next few years.

Doucette said he’s expecting the new project in Saugus to have the same kind of positive impact on the student body as he observed in North Reading several years ago when that town built a new Middle-High School. “This year’s Saugus High freshman class is going to graduate from a completely new school,” Doucette said.

“From what I observed in

North Reading, a new school does matter. There’s pride of place. I can tell you that the kids are going to be excited. As a town resident, I’m excited about property values and transforming education,” he said. “And it’s just an exciting time to be working in this school district.”

New home for Saugus Cable TV? Saugus Historical Society considers sharing its building with Saugus Cable TV. Preliminary talks are underway

By Mark E. Vogler he Saugus Historical Society has space it could share in its quarters at 30 Main St. And the Board of Directors of Saugus Cable TV believe they are in desperate need of finding a home between now and the time that their studio in the back of Saugus High School is demolished to pave the way for a new school.

So representatives of the Saugus Historical Society and Saugus Cable TV have been talking about mutual arrangement that would satisfy the needs of both groups.

The balance of the building would be shared and Saugus Cable TV would consider building an addition at the back of the society’s building, according to DiNardo.

The Historical Society pays between $10,000 and $12,000 in utility bills, which Saugus Cable TV would pick up. The Cable Television Station wouldn’t have to pay rent.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, August 24, 2018

ASKS | FROM PAGE 3 were the Red Sox crates and little table, so I add things every year.

Q: How many items do you have?

A: Oh my gosh! I don’t even know. We have beach balls and Frisbees. The Red Sox red and blue is bright. When my kids start with me every year, they get a “Team” binder, so it has all of the baseball pages, and it’s just information for the parents, things that they need, expectations for school and homework. And they know it’s about “Team” and our “kindness pledge.” We read it every day.

Q: It definitely makes the room cheery.

A: Yes. Absolutely. We do the WAVE if somebody does something great.

Q: Really.

A: Yep. Q: Now, do the students have nicknames or do they personify with any of the popular players?

A: Yes. They do. Up here on the bookshelf are all baseball books – Red Sox books of all different levels and, of course, we have kids who are fans of different teams. And that’s okay. It doesn’t matter what team. Families are team and we all work together. And like I said, they gravitate right towards it, and I think by the end of the year, a lot of them become Red Sox fans, too, because we talk about it. A lot of my boys will come in, and they will talk about the score last night. “What happened and what did Pedroia do?” So, it makes things fun and lighthearted atmosphere. And it’s my hook for the kids, to get them to learn. It’s all about team. We’re going to work together and we’re going to help each other.

Q: So, David Ortiz is your favorite player?

A: He is, and as a matter of fact, in 2007 we sent him a letter, and they were in the playoffs at the time. And the cardboard cutout was new. He’s now 12 years old, so I told the class that we’re going to write David Ortiz a letter, and we’re going to tell him what we do in the classroom, how he [the cardboard David Ortiz] is set up, how I attach notes to him – to his mouth – to tell everyone we’re having a spelling test tomorrow. For Cinco de Mayo [an annual celebration in Mexico held on May 5 to commemorate the Mexican Army’s unexpected victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862] we put a sombrero on him, so we use him in the classroom.

So, I told the class we were going to write David Ortiz a letter and tell him that we’re prac-

ticing teamwork and we wish him good luck in the playoffs, so I said, “We’re not expecting anything in return, we just want to wish him good luck and we’re working together as a team.” And we sent him a picture, too, so we ended taking the cardboard cutout all around the school – for pictures of David Ortiz and the kids in the lunchroom, the kids and David Ortiz in the playground or the kids and David Ortiz on the basketball court for a little scrapbook we sent to him. We got a DVD federal-expressed back from him, with the book and him sitting in front of his locker and thanking us for being a part his team.

Q: So, he sent you a video?

A: He did.

Q: Wow. What year was that?

A: They won the World Series that year … 2007, so he ended up sending us the DVD with himself … and the camera scans up to his locker. And there’s a picture of all of the kids on home plate and David Ortiz [the cardboard cutout] is on home plate. And David Ortiz says, “You’re going to be my good luck for the playoffs.”

And then the different television stations came to the school and the newspapers came. And the Red Sox won the World Series that year, so the kids felt really special, so that’s why he’s Number One in my book. He was in the middle of the playoffs, and he took time to send a little DVD to the kids. I ended up going to the store and made a DVD for all of the kids of David Ortiz’s DVD, of the Channel 7 broadcast, the Fox 25 broadcast and of the [Red Sox] parade that year, so my husband and I went to a studio and spliced them all together, and I made a DVD for all of the kids.

Q: Oh, that’s nice. Now, have you had any Red Sox players visit the classroom?

A: No. Other than David Ortiz sending our class the DVD, we have not.

Q: Have your classes corresponded with any other ballplayers?

A: They were in the playoffs

Red Sox teacher,” which is cute.

A lot of the kids that don’t have me yet – but as soon as they come into my class, they know it’s not about the Red Sox; it’s about team.

Q: Now, do you hear back from students from the very first class when you started doing the Red Sox theme?

A: I do. As a matter of fact, a couple of years ago, a little boy from this class – in 2007 – he asked me if I would write a letter to David Ortiz.

They were graduating, and he asked if I would write a letter to David Ortiz and ask him if he would come to their graduation and remember them, or something like that, so I do.

It’s cute.

Q: Please share a few observations on how this has helped over the last 12 years – some personal observations, after doing this for 12 years.

OTHER TEAMS: Second graders can play for other teams besides the Red Sox during class exercises.

a couple of years ago, and we made something for them, so I took a picture of all of the kids. They were in little Red Sox masks. I hot-glued it to this scoreboard and sent it to them and David Ortiz. It was actually the year he was retiring, and we addressed it to Big Papi and your team from our team. And that was 2016. And the whole school signed it, so they ended up sending us back a package with about 25 bags of Fenway dirt and little stickers.

Q: And all of the kids went home with a bag of Fenway dirt?

A: Yes. And they [the Red Sox] thanked us, and they said they were displaying our big picture in the Red Sox offices, so they said. But it was cute.

Again, it was great that they recognized the kids. It was really neat.

Every time playoffs roll around, I feel like we have to do something additional, because this is “The Red Sox Room.”

Q: So, this classroom has come to be known as “The Red Sox Room”?

A: That’s what the kids call it.

They do. And they call me “the

TEDDI’S MASCOTS: Red Sox teddy bears are part of Teddi Zeboski’s collection.

A: Like I said, I teach second grade. As the kids get older – and we have them until the fifth grade – they come back and they say, “Mrs. Zeboski ….

I love your room.” Hopefully, as they get older, it will resonate with them that it’s about team and maybe what this secondgrade teacher tried to do to help them learn. Of course, teachers have to teach. They also know that I want more for them, and I want them to be a good person – to be helpful when they see somebody

who needs help. And that’s part of my teaching. For me – 22 years as a teacher – it has to go beyond academics to reach them and touch them and care about them. They know when they’re in my class, they are like my own children.

And my husband knows that, too … however many kids we have. And my husband is an angel. And he knows that it’s my calling and what I do.

He came in here this morning and helped me drop off all of my stuff.

Q: How long does it take to set it all up?

A: Definitely three days. And every year I add new things. As you notice, there are no desks in here. It’s all flexible seating for kids. We have floor seating.

You can sit in chairs, so these are table signs – first base, second base, third base, right field, left field and home plate, the bull pen and the pitcher’s mounds – so we have little signs for all of them. So these signs are on their tables, and that’s how they know where they are sitting. These are new this year, and I made them by computer, so if I say, “Boys and girls who are sitting at first base today, go get a glue,” they know where they are sitting.

This is just all incorporated in everything. It makes it fun. It makes it organized.

Q: So, how are the Red Sox going to do this year?

A: Oh my gosh! They’re doing awesome.

Q: But how are they going to do?

A: They’re going to go all the way. They’re what, 11 games ahead?

Q: They’re 9 1/2 games ahead of the Yankees right now [as of Monday].

A: The team is just magnificent. Talk about teamwork.

They all contribute at different times and just seem to respect each other and work together. They’re going to go all the way. Absolutely! I’m going to have to think of something to do in the fall to wish them good luck. For me, it’s my hook to pull them in, and I figure if a child likes to come to school – some teachers don’t think that’s their job, but it is – if they like to come to school, I can do all the things I need to do. And for me, teaching goes beyond academics. It’s not just about academics. Of course, it’s [academics] the most important thing.

Q: So, the point of all this Red Sox stuff is, this is a fun place for a kid to come and learn?

A: Absolutely. And they care about each other and they respect each other, so this is kind of my hook to pull it together.

Q: Anything else that you would like to share?

A: Go Red Sox! They’re going to pull it out this year.

NOTES | FROM PAGE 9 any mobility. Come on down to this fun, family-friendly event for children of all ages.

Healthy students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Healthy Students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Healthy Saugus,â&#x20AC;? which aims to address food insecurity in the Saugus public school system.

In 2014 Feeding America published the Hunger in America Report. The report 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Healthy Saugus will provide a weekend supply of nutritious food for each eligible child when school lunches and breakfasts are unavailable to them on weekends or school holidays during the schoolyear. Take-home grocery bags will contain two breakfasts, two lunches, two snacks,

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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, Ro-

tary Club of Saugus, Wheelabrator and Saugus Public Schools.

Packing sites are St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church, Blessed Sacrament/St. Margaretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Monetary donations of any size, large and small, are needed.

Each one will help feed a hungry child.

Sheila Rosanio dance studio celebrates 33 years of success

By Tara Vocino heila Rosanio’s School of Dance & Gymnastics of Revere is celebrating its 33rd anniversary this fall, opening its doors on September 3, 1985, and nearly three decades later, sending a large group of inner-city children to international gymnastics/dance competitions – and winning.

“The majority of our kids are from the local areas around Boston, and the dancers/gymnasts that they compete with usually come from much more affluent areas,” Rosanio said. “They see what their parents have sacrificed for them to get here, and they don’t take anything for granted.”

Rosanio said, “My school is the best of both worlds. We have a very strong gymnastics and dance program combined in one place.

What stands out about my school – it is a true Dance Family. The relationships that are formed are long lasting friendships. The older students are wonderful role models for the younger ones. The children look up to them and aspire to be just like them.”

In his second year of dance there, Needham resident Justin Miller, 11, won his age division at Showstoppers, held at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in June,

S

for tumbling, a solo, and hip hop.

Justin said he dances at the studio almost every day, taking seven classes there.

“I feel like this is my second home,” Justin said. “I was formerly a soccer player, but I want to quit soccer. We are all friends outside of here. We FaceTime, go out to dinner, and travel to amusement parks.”

In her fourth year of dance there, Everett resident Isabella Bienaine, 10, said Rosanio is patient when teaching.

“She doesn’t rush us through it,” Isabella said. “I had to learn how to do a backflip without using my hands, and she taught me so that I Sheila Rosanio’s School of Dance and Gymnastics is celebrating their 33rd anniversary in Sepunderstood.

Like the others, she likes that the cultural diverseness of the studio brings everything together as family.

In her fourth year, Winthrop resident Giana Rice, 7, learned how to do a back handspring, or a back flip into another – and a side aerial – or a cartwheel with no hands.

“It’s fun,” Giana said. “I’ve learned a lot of techniques.”

And those were just the kids in her open gymnastics class on every Friday night from 6:30-7:30

“I’m blessed to have the best students,” Rosanio said. “They are so dedicated, and what’s better than seeing your kids improve.

It’s not just a job to me, it’s my passion.”

HIP HOP | FROM PAGE 5 to watch her younger son, Aaron, capture a gold medal in his brother Jared’s honor.

“We dance for something larger than medals – to raise awareness to the world and to prevent kids from being misdiagnosed as autistic or other conditions,” Reia BriggsConnor said.

She and her husband, Rick, are striving to give Jared the best quality of life during his potentially brief time left on Earth, adding that the dancers’ energy and support keeps him going. When Jared Connor was diagnosed, she was tempted to close the studio doors, but instead wanted to change the mission from a standard dance studio to one that would change the world – one child at a time.

Besides becoming United

Shown, from left to right, are (front row) Giacinto Graziano, Matteo Graziano, Dante Graziano, Aaron Connor, Isidora Villagra, (back row) Anayah Simmons, Damarea Morris, Synnae Fitzpatrick, and Julianna Fonzi. (Advocate photos by Tara Vocino)

Aaron Connor, 8, of Saugus, and Julianna Fonzi, 11, of Malden, were crowned gold medalists at the USA Hip Hop Dance Championship earlier this month. They dance to raise awareness for Aaron’s brother, Jared, who suffers from Sanfilippo disease. (Advocate photo by Tara Vocino)

States champions at the recent August championship, the same nine boys and girls were part of Phunk Phenomenon as a 33-person mega crew that finished third place in the USA in the mega crew division, receiving the bronze medal. And as if that’s not enough, Lil’ Phunk placed 6th in the World Hip Hop Dance Championships, competing against more than 4,000 dancers from 50 countries.

Reia Briggs-Connor said they have practiced since May for three days a week (three hours each day) un-

der the leadership of about 20 dance instructors. The winning songs were “Good Vibrations” by Mark Wahlberg, “Bring ‘Em Out” by T.I., and a hip-hop medley.

The local dancers described what it felt like to win the gold – and all the other medals.

A studio dancer since 3, Aaron Connor, 8, of Saugus, who is in third-grade at the Veterans Memorial School in Saugus, said he jumped up on the stage from the audience, crying, and repeatedly saying, “Oh my God, this is amazing.”

Malden resident Julianna Fonzi, 11, who attends Salemwood School in Malden, said she was balling her eyes out and couldn’t stop saying, “Oh, my goodness” when she heard that they placed first.

“My face was turning red, and I didn’t believe it at first,” Fonzi said. “But then all the other dance groups were saying ‘congratulations,’ and I replied, ‘You did well, too.’”

And besides the immediate bliss, they described what it’s like to dance for a greater meaning than being crowned best hip hop dance crew in the United States.

“It feels good inside,” Julianna said, as she began to get emotional and tear up.

“At first, I thought I was just dancing with a crew that dances at the Boston Celtics games. But then I learned that I’m dancing for someone who can’t dance. Jared is suffering every day, and we want to make sure that he has a better life. We aren’t just dancing, because we love it – we are helping him, because of our talent.”

Aaron said they all love and they all dance for Jared Connor. “We gave a big shoutout to him on stage,” Aaron said. “We all put up four 4’s for Jared.”

Reia Connor joked that Jared loves the girls, adding that he lights up when he’s around the dancers as a whole.

The Connors said the judges didn’t know that they were raising awareness for the disease until after they were crowned first place – to avoid a conflict of interest.

Robin Fonzi, Julianna’s grandmother, was there in the audience, screaming and whistling for her and Lil’ Phunk. “It was overwhelming,” Robin Fonzi said.

“I couldn’t believe that they

made it first in the country.

There was so much excitement, and I’m so proud.”

Robin Fonzi said that they wowed the judges, the emcee adored them, echoed their energy, and wholeheartedly supported them.

She added that dancers from New York and Florida were the closest to the east. Others hailed from Canada and Japan. Puma donated sneakers for the Lil’ Phunk cast and crew.

Reia Connor said that the standard is high, and the teams who lost put in a bigger effort the following year.

“All the kids put their heart and soul into it,” Reia Connor said.

A former Patriots cheerleader, Reia Connor called that experience a stepping stone for the higher calling that was waiting for her – her son, Jared. She majored in early childhood education

at Wheelock.

And it extends beyond the local angle. The competition had recruiters from America’s Got Talent there, she added.

Besides Celtics games, Phunk Phenomenon dances for the New England Revolution and several Boston area college teams.

Registration for classes will be on Sunday, Aug. 26 from 5 to 8 p.m., or Sunday, Sept.

9 from 4 to 7 p.m. The studio, which is located at 1886 Revere Beach Pkwy. above Popeye’s, is open Monday to Saturday from 3:45 to 8:30 p.m. “ The competition was fierce,” Julianna Fonzi said.

“There are plenty of other dancers who are also really good. But we came from a tiny little studio near Boston and won the USA title. That’s a big accomplishment.”

the Saugus Public Library will recognize and observe Free Speech Day. Free speech is an important part of libraries and librarianship. We would be remiss not to mark it this year.

Our Board of Library Trustees has adopted the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights (this is not news), which affirms that all libraries are forums for information and ideas. FYI: I’ve attached a copy of the Library Bill of Rights to this email.

“When Fae suggested we do something to mark the day, I asked her for suggestions and, as you know, she offered several very good ones. I have not yet decided what, exactly to do. I expect to have a plan in by mid-September.”

Well, there you have it, Fae. The Saugus Public Library – like all public libraries – will always advocate for Free Speech, because that’s what libraries do.

If the Town of Saugus doesn’t want to embrace the Public Right to Know Law, maybe they should delegate that responsibility to the Saugus Public Library – to be the official custodian of public records and defender of the Open Meeting Laws. Just a thought, because I am seeing mistakes on the bulletin board where the notices for town boards and committees are posted.

Stay tuned.

The kind act of a friend There’s been a happy development in the case of Town Meeting Member Jeanie Bartolo of Precinct 6 getting back the special jacket she lost at the American Legion breakfast back in June. No, the person or people who took the light blue dungaree jacket with pastel embroidered flowers and silver studs and pearls all over it did not return it. And they probably never will.

And that’s a darn shame because somebody who broke bread with the veterans and friends that morning never bothered to return a sentimen-

tal jacket that they took by mistake or stole. But the next best thing happened to Jeanie.

She shared the good news with me in a Monday email: “A good friend of mine, Rick Smith a former town Meeting Member, went on the internet virtually every day since my jacket went missing and finally found another one for me!!!

“I bought it and it was delivered an hour ago! Fits perfectly, am so happy. You can bet I will print my name and phone number on the inside. Wanted you to be the first to know I was able to replace it! You were so great helping me.”

Well, I really didn’t do much except put the word out in this weekly newspaper column.

Rick Smith deserves high praise for his extensive search over the Internet for a possible replacement jacket. And that’s just what good friends do.

8, on your calendar.

Of course, Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta and the rest of her colleagues on the board will again be a big draw. And so will Saugus Public Schools Superintendent Dr. David DeRuosi. They will dress up as prisoners and hang around in a makeshift jail – soliciting bail money to help them raise money. It’s all in fun to help raise money for the Saugus

“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 the 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 historical and environmental topics through a fun, age appropriate, handson 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 the Saugus Iron Works as well as with the developmental and learning goals of preschoolers.

For programs at Saugus Iron Works, meet at the Visitor Center and Eastern National Park Store, “Broadhearth” (244 Central St., Saugus). For the most up-to-date information, like the Ironworks on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ SaugusIronNPS/, visit https:// www.nps.gov/sair or call (781) 233-0050.

“Sharon’s Sneaker Crew” sets fundraiser to fight cancer Sharon Genovese of Saugus and her buddies – called “Sharon’s Sneaker Crew” – are gearing up for another Dana-Farber Jimmy Fund Cancer Walk, set for Sept. 23. They plan to walk

But first they plan to hold a comedy show fundraiser at 7 p.m. on Aug. 30 at the MEG Building (58 Essex St., Saugus).

All proceeds will go to the cancer walk, with tickets selling for $20 apiece.

“The reason we are walking is because we have lost many family and friends to cancer,” Sharon says.

“I lost my father and other family members, and Kristin’s husband is a survivor. We walk to help them find a cure so no other family will have to suffer,” she says.

“I’m the captain and this is my fifth year walking. Kristin Callahan is her second year walking.

Matthew Genovese and Brunislaw Wozniak (ben) are first time walkers.”

Sharon’s email is sunkin1@ aol.com and her telephone number is 617-966-3475. She is the contact for the comedy show.

Everyone except for ben is from Saugus. He lives in Lynn.

“Our crew officially started last year when kristin joined me. I had been walking solo before. My first year i walked the 26.2 but since then I’ve been walking the 13.1 miles,” she said.

Beacon Hill Roll Call

By Bob THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators and representatives’ votes on recent roll calls on overriding Gov. Charlie Baker’s vetoes of items in the $41.88 billion fiscal 2019 state budget. $100,000 FOR MACULAR DEGENERATION PREVENTION AND TREATMENT (H 4800) House 127-23, Senate 32-5, overrode Gov. Charlie Baker’s veto reduction of $100,000 (from $200,000 to $100,000) in funding for the prevention and treatment of macular degeneration at Schepens Eye Research Institute and $50,000 (from $100,000 to $50,000) in funding for education and support of patients diagnosed with phenylketonuria (PKU) and their families at the New England Connection for PKU and Allied Disorders.

Macular degeneration is an incurable eye disease that affects more than 10 million Americans and is the leading cause of blindness for people aged 55 and older. The cause of macular degeneration is not conclusively known.

PKU is a rare, inherited condition that affects about one in every 14,000 babies born in the United States. PKU prevents a victim’s body from metabolizing phenylalanine -- one of the amino acids that are joined together to form proteins. “When the infant or adult is untreated or poorly treated, phenylalanine rises to high levels in the blood and can damage the

Baker’s $250,000 veto reduction (from $500,000 to $250,000) for stroke treatment and prevention programs including a $100,000 reduction in funding to educate the public on the signs and symptoms of stroke with a focus on communities that have the highest incidence of stroke.

Baker also reduced by $100,000 funding to require all primary stroke service hospitals and emergency medical services’ agencies to report data consistent with nationally recognized guidelines on the treatment of individuals with strokes; and reduced by $50,000 the funding to oversee the operation and administration of designated primary stroke service hospital programs that meet strict guidelines for treating individuals with stroke symptoms.

Supporters of spending the $250,000 said these programs can help prevent strokes and save lives.

In his veto message, Baker said that he reduced the funding to an amount projected to be necessary.

Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

Additional acceptable items include TVs and computers (up to three per year per address); car tires up to 22” (for a fee of $3); books; and textiles, such as clothing, bedding, pocketbooks, belts and shoes.

Plastic bags and rigid plastics are not permitted due to the international recycling market.

Residents are kindly asked to empty recyclables out of any plastic bags, and remove the bags from the site.

Answers on page 22

A family of educators Smith has an extensive background in teaching music and directing arts and musical education programs in an education career that spans more than 20 years. He taught music in the Boston Public Schools for 15 years. He worked three years as the director of arts and academic instruction in the Pentucket Regional School District in West Newbury. Smith was the music and theater director for nearly seven years at Lynn Classical High School. He was also the founding Music Department head for the Boston Arts Academy.

While growing up in North Carolina, it was Smith’s mother – a schoolteacher – who influenced his decision to pursue a career as an educator. His dad was in the Air Force. Out of seven children his late parents raised, four are in education. Smith’s sibling educators live in Texas, Delaware and Washington, D.C. Smith received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Music Education (1990) from Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina. He later received a vocal performance degree from the North Carolina School of the Arts. In 2009 he earned his Master of Fine Arts Degree in Music at Boston University and his Masters of Education in School Administration from Cambridge College (2009).

What was his attraction to Saugus?

“I like the close feel of a community that has a rich history, but at the same time is looking to expand in its educational philosophies,” said Smith, who lives in Beverly.

Already three weeks on the job, Smith said he’s taking

“I plan to be spending a lot of time in the classrooms, the hallways and in the playgrounds. I just plan to be visible,” he said.

How Older People Can Find Clinical Trials Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about clinical trials and how to go about finding one?

Old and Ill Dear Old, Each year, hundreds of thousands of Americans participate in clinical trials in hopes of gaining access to the latest, and possibly greatest, but not yet on the market treatments for all types of illnesses. But, you need to be aware that clinical trials can vary greatly in what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re designed to do, so be careful to choose one that can actually benefits you. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you should know along with some tips for locating one.

Clinical Trials A clinical trial is the scientific term for a test or research study of a drug, device or medical procedure using people. These trials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sponsored by drug companies, doctors, hospitals and the federal government â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are conducted to learn whether a new treatment is safe and if it works. But, keep in mind that these new treatments are also unproven, so there may be risks too.

Also be aware that all clinical trials have certain eligibility criteria (age, gender, health status, etc.) that you must meet in order to be accepted. And before taking part in a trial, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be asked to sign an informed consent agreement. You can also leave a study at any time.

Find a Trial Every year, there are more than 100,000 clinical trials conducted in the U.S. You can find them by asking your doctor who may be monitoring trials in his or her specialty. Or, you can look for them on your own at ClinicalTrials.gov.

This website, sponsored by the National Institutes of Heath, contains a comprehensive database of federally and privately supported clinical studies in the U.S. and abroad on a wide range of diseases and conditions, including informa-

tion about each trialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose, who may participate, locations, and phone numbers for more details.

If you want some help finding the right trial, try ResearchMatch.org, a webbased resource created by Vanderbilt University that connects willing patients with researchers of clinical trial. Or, use the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation at CISCRP.org. This is a nonprofit organization that will take your information online or over the phone and do a thorough clinical trials search for you, and mail or email you the results within a week or two. Call 877-6334376 for assistance.

Those with dementia and their caregivers can also locate clinical trials at the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association TrialMatch at TrialMatch.alz.org.

Things to Know Before deciding to participate in a trial, you need to first discuss it with your doctor to make sure it is appropriate for you. Then, schedule an appointment with the studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical team and ask lots of questions, such as: â&#x20AC;˘ Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the purpose of the study and can it improve my condition? â&#x20AC;˘ What are the risks? â&#x20AC;˘ What kinds of tests and treatments does the study involve, and how often and where they are performed? â&#x20AC;˘ Is the experimental treatment in the study being compared with a standard treatment or a placebo? â&#x20AC;˘ Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paying for the study? Will I have any costs, and if so, will my insurance plan or Medicare cover the rest? â&#x20AC;˘ What if something goes wrong during or after the trial and I need extra medical care? Who pays?

For more information on clinical trials for older adults visit the National Institute on Aging (nia.nih.gov/health/ clinical-trials), which has many informative articles including one on â&#x20AC;&#x153;questions to ask before participating in a clinical trial.â&#x20AC;?

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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Savvy Seniorâ&#x20AC;? book.

gram called Renaissance 360: a computer-based data system that will enable the teachers to give benchmark tests for math, language arts and reading,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program allows the teachers to pick and choose the different areas to discuss the students and where they are in their performance. You want to be able to individualize the teaching. With this program, you can adapt your teaching when you know where the student is,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We piloted at the end of last year in the sixth grade, and the teachers saw great value in this.

And the superintendent expanded it as well to the seventh and eighth grades this year,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The superintendent also decided to provide some Chromebooks as technology resources to improve the program. Each of the eight math teachers in the building will have access to a Chromebook cart that includes 25 Chromebooks. The four sixth grade math teachers will share two Chromebook carts. And each of the two math teachers in the seventh and eighth grades will have their own Chromebook carts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to me,â&#x20AC;? Monto said.

struction crews have been digging up the ground and been piling up tall hills of dirt since the $160.7 million project got underway.

Hashem acknowledges that students on the arriving buses and cars will notice the noise, dirt and confusion. But it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t distract students from the classwork, Hashem said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be an issue at all, other than the parking â&#x20AC;Ś None of the classrooms face the construction site, so it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a hindrance,â&#x20AC;?

Hashem said.

But parking is an issue for many, as the school lost about 80 spaces, but may have gained about 20 spaces back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges every year,â&#x20AC;? Hashem said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to create a culture where student success is the focal point,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Going hand-in-hand with the change in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture is a strategy that will allow for smooth transition from a traditional high school into a grades 6 through 12 model, where essentially two schools operate in tandem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to tie the Middle and High School Programs together. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of our major goals â&#x20AC;Ś We want to get in Lynnhurst focuses on imlockstep with the new school,â&#x20AC;? proving culture Hashem said.

Lynnhurst Elementary School There are new faces at the Principal Michael Mondello, in school. Superintendent David DeRuosi was still busy this week, interviewing and hiring teachers and staff. A new English teacher and a new Spanish teacher will join the faculty at the outset of the school year, according to Hashem.

Page 19 an interview this week, said his main objective when the new school year begins next week is to improve on â&#x20AC;&#x153;what we startedâ&#x20AC;? when he took charge of the school five years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to focus on positive behavior where the kids feel motivated and comfortable in their learning environment,â&#x20AC;? said Mondello, who noted that three new teachers have joined the school faculty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather than start new programs, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to focus on our execution and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for the students. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to focus on getting better,â&#x20AC;? he said.

School enrollment has increased from 240 during his first year to 283 students this year. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a school staff of 25 to run a small school of 13 classrooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My main message this year is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;choose to be positive.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; There is so much negativity. In order to do this job well and be effective, we need to focus on the positive. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving in the right direction. Slow and steady wins the race,â&#x20AC;? Mondello said.

Belmonte expands program for assessing students The stress of juggling current and future school plans doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to bother Belmonte Middle School Principal Myra Monto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for school to start,â&#x20AC;? said Monto.

After serving as interim school principal last year, Monto was in her office this week getting ready to begin her first year with the permanent appointment. She took charge of the school early last year after the unexpected departure of Belmonte Middle School Principal Kerry Robbins at the outset of the school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a busy summer of interviewing, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited about the new people coming in,â&#x20AC;? said Monto, who noted that seven new teachers will begin work at the school next week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of things that I am excited about this year,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The school will be implementing a longer block schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will also be a new pro-
