“Hardworking, family man” For a safer Saugus dies in tragic freak accident Selectmen vote to reduce speed limit Family believes health problems – not weather – caused Saugus man to crash through garage and down embankment

By Mark E. Vogler

S

tephen “Steve” G. Rauseo had gone out early Sunday afternoon to get a coffee to go with food his wife had made for him to enjoy while watching some football at his Hammersmith Drive home, according to family.

Rauseo, 74, a longtime New England Patriots season ticket holder, looked forward to his favorite team competing for another Super Bowl title. The father of four boys with nine grandchildren and a great-grandson also loved to spend time with his family.

But at around 1:30 p.m. while driving back home, Rauseo died when his car crashed through the wall of his garage, barreled down a 40-foot embankment and landed on its roof. Rauseo was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Interim Saugus Police Chief Ronald Giorgetti said the initial investigation indicates the incident was accidental. Saugus police, assisted by investigators of the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, continue their investigation into the crash and the cause of Rauseo’s death.

It could take weeks or even months to get answers about the freak crash that happened on a day when Saugus and much of

ob Davis told selectmen he’s heard people say “It’s going to take someone getting killed to do something about the treacherous traffic conditions in Saugus.”

Davis, one of the organizers of a small group called “Citizens for a Safer Saugus,” cited the names of two Saugus residents who have lost their lives over the past decade after crossing Central Street – a street that was the subject of a public hearing Wednesday night for a reduced speed limit.

But selectmen had already targeted Central Street as one of four major roads where they planned to reduce the speed. They voted unanimously following the hearing to reduce the speed limit to 25 miles per hour on portions of the street, unless the speed limit is already lower.

“Within the last year, Judy Hoffman lost her life as the result of the accident when she got hit by a car as she and her husband were crossing in the crosswalk at the Rail Trail on Central Street,” Davis said.

He was referring to the accident last January which left Hoffman and her husband Robert seriously injured. Judith Hoffman never recovered from her injuries and died last fall from complications related to her injuries, according to her husband.

“On January 28, 2010, Christos Agganis was killed as he crossed Central Street in front of the Hammersmith Restaurant,” Davis said.

Interim Saugus Police Chief Ronald Giorgetti in a letter to selectmen said he considers the speed limits for Central Street “appropriately set.”

Chief cites collaboration of dispatcher and officers in helping Saugus dad deliver baby

By Mark E. Vogler

nterim Police Chief Ronald Giorgetti has credited three members of the Saugus Police Department with helping to save a newborn baby boy’s life after he was born unresponsive in his parents’ minivan on the side of a town road early Monday morning (Jan. 21).

“They’re all going to be recognized with letters of com-

mendation,” Giorgetti told The Saugus Advocate this week.

The chief cited Dispatcher Ryan Bancroft and Officers Nicola Fabrizio and Pedro Youssef for providing crucial radio and dispatch transmissions and assisting a Saugus family at the scene where the child was delivered.

Selectmen said at their meeting Wednesday night that they plan to publicly recognize the three Police Department members at a meeting next month.

Saugus Police dispatchers received an emergency 911 call at about 1:35 a.m. from a frantic man who told them that he was driving to the hospital and his wife was giving birth in their minivan. The man told Bancroft that they were driving on Essex Street near the Square One Mall and that he could see the baby’s head. Bancroft told the man to pull over and that he would

send an ambulance and police officers to his location in the area of 209 Essex St. Dispatcher Bancroft stayed on the phone with the man as the baby was delivered in the back of the van. But the baby was unresponsive. The baby’s umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck and he was not breathing. But Bancroft calmly gave instructions to assist the man in removing the umbilical cord from around the baby’s neck and for administering CPR. When the father began giving CPR to the baby, the boy started breathing and crying, according to police.

A short time later, Youssef located the vehicle and provided care and comfort to the family until paramedics from Armstrong Ambulance Service arrived. The family was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where baby and mother are reportedly doing well.

“I want to commend our staff for their actions that assuredly helped to save this baby’s life and provided a calming presence for the family in a very hectic and scary situation,” Giorgetti said.

“We train for situations like these, but it is rare to have a call like this, and I am really thrilled to see it had a happy ending,” the chief said. “I spoke to the father on Monday morning and was told that the baby and mother are healthy and doing just fine.”

Police officials called it an example of excellent teamwork by Saugus 9-1-1 Dispatch, Police, Fire and Armstrong Ambulance personnel.

“Usually we like to transport expecting mothers to the hospital before the baby is born, but we are very happy that the baby and mom are both healthy,” Armstrong Ambulance CEO Richard Raymond said.

ble for procurement and installation of the appropriate signage.”

The chief also said he would recommend additional funding be included in the 2020 fiscal year budget to fund a special police unit dedicated to traffic enforcement.

Davis and members of “Citizens for a Safer Saugus” are continuing to recommend a 25 mph speed limit town-wide.

But selectmen said they will await the results of an ongoing town-wide speed limit analysis and traffic study before considering any more speed limit changes.

Board of Selectman Vice Chair Jeffrey Cicolini called Central Street “the most confusing” of all the streets being considered for reductions – and the street that was most warranting a reduction. “I personally feel that eight speed changes on one road is bor-

derline ridiculous,” Cicolini said.

He acknowledged that selectmen “might end up readjusting” the speed limits once the results of the traffic study have been released. That report is expected to be completed this spring, in time for the Annual Town Meeting in May. Central Street is the latest of 10 streets where selectmen voted to lower the speed limit in recent months. The signage will not be posted until after the state Department of Transportation has approved the recent votes.

Selectmen voted earlier this month to lower the speed limit on three other major, welltraveled Saugus roads – Essex Street, Main Street and Lincoln Avenue – to 25 miles per hour.

Late last year, selectmen voted to decrease the speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph on six town roads: Bisbee Road, Hanson Road, Iron Works Way, Cider Mill Road, Vinegar Hill Drive and Hitching Hill Road.

Park Press Printers office manager shares interesting stories about Autumn, the popular cat that greets customers Editor’s Note: For this week, we visited Park Press Printers, where we spent some time with Autumn, the six-year-old female orange calico cat that frequently greets customers and is recognizable from her photos that are circulated on social media. We also interviewed Office Manager Stephanie Maggio, who hangs out with Autumn during the day.

Autumn, known to local folks as the company mascot, lives in the office. She has an Instagram account at @queenautumnofparkpress. Some highlights of the interview follow.

Q: What’s the story about the cat?

A: Gabe [Gabriel Farhat, Park Press Printers president and owner] got her about five years ago. They adopted her from a shelter because there were squirrels in the building. The building is very old. They heard that if they got a cat, she would keep them away. We still have squirrels in the attic, but they have not come down into the office since we have gotten her.

Q: I guess she kind of keeps them at bay.

A: Yeah.

Q: So, she earns her keep?

A: She does. She does. She’s the queen of the castle.

Q: So, she came from an animal shelter.

A: Not sure from what shelter they got her, but she was very small when they got her. She was skinny and tiny and kind of standoffish, but she seems to have warmed up. She loves food and people.

Q: What’s her favorite food?

A: I usually get her Rachel Ray [cat food]. It’s the easiest thing. It comes down through her feeder and it has chicken and salmon. It’s good for indoor cats.

Q: Now, she’s called Autumn because of the orange color?

A: Yeah, her bright colors: the orange and her really pretty green eyes.

Q: So, she’s been here since she’s been a kitten, so it’s what, about six years now?

A: Yeah.

Q: And does she stay at the front desk most of the time?

A: Most of the time. If she’s not here with me, she’s usually upstairs in a box, curled up sleeping. Her favorite place to be is in a box.

Q: And she doesn’t seem too bashful about the cameras?

A: No. She loves having her picture taken. Park Press has an Instagram account. And I started an Instagram account specifically for her – to take and share pictures.

though she’s older and is quiet. She likes to play with this – the credit card machine. It’s touch screen, so she will come over and start playing with it.

She usually likes to touch the screen.

Q: Any phantom accounts show up because of her play?

A: No! The screen stays locked, so she’s not able to get into anything and charge anybody’s credit card.

Q: So, tell me some other interesting things about her.

A: We have a laser pointer QUEEN AUTUMN OF PARK PRESS: This six-year-old female orange calico cat named “Autumn” keeps company with Office Manager Stephanie Maggio at Park Press Printers. Autumn is the official mascot of the business and loves to greet customers.

(Saugus Advocate Photo by Mark E. Vogler)

Q: And does she get a lot of communication from people?

A: It’s mostly people who are friends of Park Press that will either like her pictures or comments on them. I’m trying to use a lot of hashtags in the comment section so that I can kind of spread her out and gain some followers. And I’ve started following a lot of cat Instagram accounts as well.

Q: So what’s Autumn’s particular Instagram account?

A: It is @queenautumnofparkpress.

Q: So, how is Autumn at chasing mice?

A: She’s pretty good.

Q: So, Autumn does catch mice in the building?

A: She has. I’ve seen her in the office. There was a mouse last year; she did go after it. I don’t think she caught it while anyone was here. It didn’t end up on my desk as a present. I don’t know if she ended up catching it, but she does chase them.

Q: Why do you think she is such a friendly cat? Like in front of total strangers, she’s purring away and looking to get pet.

And really soaking it in.

A: That’s a really good question – I think maybe just the relaxed environment. There used to be a dog here as well. She passed away a couple of years ago. And I know her and the dog would avoid each other, but I think since then, she’s enjoyed having time with people, and we’re all pretty relaxed here, so I think she’s comfortable and happy and gets a lot of food.

Q: And she’s the mascot of the business.

A: Yeah, she’s definitely the mascot. I’d say that 95 percent of the time she’s down here greeting everybody who walks through the door.

Q: So, she’s your special

that we’ll play with occasionally. She’s kind of obsessed with me; she follows me pretty much everywhere I go.

Q: So, she looks at you in a way that you are, sort of like, the master in this case?

A: I guess, but I’ve only been here for about a year, but she seems to really identify with me. I don’t know if it’s because we’re the only girls in the office.

So she’ll follow me all around.

The other day I was in the bath-

greater.

A: Yeah. It’s always a fun surprise for people who don’t know about her. Usually, people are excited to see her. Occasionally, I get people who are afraid of cats.

Q: What’s the most interesting thing that you know about her?

A: She likes to play even

hen one sees the coverage of natural and manmade disasters in the media, I can’t help but wonder if many of us consider how we might react if we were faced with a true life or death decision. “Valor is a gift,” Carl Sandburg once said.

“Those having it never know for sure whether they have it till the test comes.”

I have had the opportunity to speak with recipients of the Medal of Honor, our nation’s highest award for valor in action against an enemy force. To a man, none of them considers himself a hero. They generally said that they were doing their job and that the true heroes were their buddies who didn’t come home. At a time when we seem to have trivialized the notion of what it takes to be a hero, we have a memorial in Wakefield to four Men that exemplify the true meaning of the word.

Survivors of the sinking reported that during the ensuing pandemonium, four men were seen offering encouragement, support and even their own life jackets to those in need. The four men were Reverend George Lansing Fox, a

With declining health, his son Kevin said, he gave up truck driving and continued to work the business out of his home as a dispatcher. But he was still very active with his company. “My dad, even up to the day he passed, was still working a seven-day-aweek job,” Kevin said.

“I just saw him as an example of the American Dream. He worked very hard and was very smart and always wanted to help people in need. He didn’t graduate from high school, but was a self-made man who provided for his family and did what he needed to do. He was a guy with a lot of integrity,” he said.

He loved to watch John Wayne movies and listen to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. He was also a passionate Patriots fan who got season tickets after Gillette Stadium opened in 2002. “My dad loved football. He liked it because his kids did,” Kevin said.

t a recent wake for the elder Don Trainor, I was reminded of seeing him at the Sachem football games; his kids are about the same ages as mine and we both graduated high school in the fifties, he in Winthrop and I in Saugus. He was a fine gentleman and passionate about Sachem football. While there I ran into an all-time star of Sachem basketball, Mark Faraci, better known as Welby. One thing I didn’t know about Mark is that he was a roommate at University of Bridgeport with Manute Bol. Bol was the center of the basketball team in the 19841985 season, and was the center of attention of the sports world. At 7 feet, 6 inches in height and 200 pounds, Bol’s coming from Sudan in Africa was a delight to coach Bruce Webster. The University was heading toward bankruptcy, and coach Webster also drove a limousine in his spare time because of the financial situation at Bridgeport University at the time. The Purple Knights were to turn around the university and the college basketball world with this giant who couldn’t walk through a doorway without slouching or bending, but boy could he hit the bucket. Ken Best was transferred from university relations to serve as sports information director when the media situation became impossible.

Bol was a center of attraction at Bridgeport but didn’t understand many items of campus life. He once fell asleep at a microfilm machine, causing the film to burn and the smoke alarm to go off. He was introduced to the press – 10 reporters, 10 cameramen and three TV stations showed up to see the broomstick; the world watched a small university that was new to the country. Bol’s arm length made it laughable to watch an opponent try to drive the lane only to have the ball swatted away.

He quickly became known as a party animal, and after a win in Hamden, Conn., a frat invited him and his team to a Super Bowl party, which quickly became known as a Super Bol party.

Manute was very wary of strangers. He skipped an in-

terview with Sports Illustrated when they showed up with about $10,000 to attend a geology class. When NBC Nightly News showed up for an interview at a pizza restaurant, he told the interviewer, “I don’t know NBC.” His teammate said, “Manute, you know NBC. It’s Channel 4, the ‘A-Team.’” “Oh, the ‘A-Team.’ I want you to come to my apartment and fix my TV. It’s cloudy.” Later that year the reporter got her interview.

Bol’s basketball career started in Sudan, and he had a job with the Sudan military while playing for the national team.

Coach Don Feely of Fairleigh Dickinson University saw him play in Khartoum and convinced Bol to go to the U.S. in 1983. That year he was drafted by the San Diego Clippers in the fifth round, but the NBA determined Bol not eligible and named the draft pick invalid. But he wanted to improve his English so he was invited to Cleveland State University. He attended Case Western Reserve University in the ESL Language Center but was not accepted at Cleveland State because he still had not acquired sufficient ability with the language. Five years later Cleveland State was placed on two years’ probation for providing improper financial assistance to Bol and two other African players. Manute enrolled at Bridgeport University and played in the 19841985 season. He averaged 22.5 points per game, 13.5 rebounds and 7.1 shot blocks.

With Bol dominating the hoop, Bridgeport advanced to the final of the NCAA Division 2 New England Regional Finals, losing to Sacred Heart 47-45.

Bol’s professional career started with the Rhode Island Gulls of the U.S. Basketball League. He was selected by the Washington Bullets in 1985 in the second round, the 31st pick in the NBA. During his career in the NBA, he actually blocked more shots than points scored by him. He played 10 years in the NBA: Washington, 1985-1988; Golden State Warriors, 1988-1990; Philadelphia 76ers, 1990-1993; Miami Heat, 1993-1994; back to the Bullets in 1994, then to then 76ers that same season; back to Golden State in 19941995; and was waived by Golden State in 1995.

During his NBA career he averaged 2.6 points per game, 4.2 rebounds. 0.3 assists and 3.3 blocked shots. His career totals were 1,599 points scored, 2,647 rebounds and 2,086 blocks appearing in 624 games. After the NBA he played in the Continental Basketball Association and played professionally in Italy in 1997 and in Qatar in 1998.

Rheumatism overcame him and he retired.

Much of the money he made in the NBA was spent to support various causes in war-ravaged Sudan. He was offered the post of minister of sport by the Sudanese government, but he declined when was told that he would have to revert from his Christianity to Islam. He was admitted to the U.S. in 2002 as a religious refugee and settled in West Hartford, Conn. Manute was seriously injured in an auto accident in July 2004, where the car overturned and he sustained a broken neck.

Manute’s oldest son, Madut, played college basketball at Southern University and graduated in 2013. Another son, Bol Bol, is 7 feet, 3 inches and played for Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev., in 2018. We will probably hear about him in the coming years.

On July 19, 2010, Manute Bol died from acute kidney failure, survived by his first wife, Along, his second wife, Ajok, and 10 children. At a memorial service for Bol, he was given tributes by U.S. Senator Sam Brownback from Kansas, Sudan’s Ambassador to the U.S., Dr. Akec Khoe Acieu, his uncle Bol Bol Chol, and the vice president of the National Basketball Players Association, Rory Sparrow. The family patriarch, Bol Bol Chol, said, “This man is not an ordinary man. I believe this man is a messenger like other messengers who were sent into this world – to do something in this world. He has accomplished most of his mission, and so God took him and left the rest of the work to be done by others.” Manute is buried in South Sudan.

Saugus boys’ basketball team drops two after winning first game

By Greg Phipps

A

fter collecting their first win of the season against Matignon, the Saugus boys’ basketball team came out determined to make it two straight last Friday night at Nor theastern Conference (NEC) foe Danvers. The Sachems got off to a promising start by pulling out to a quick 5-0 lead and ending the first period with a 15-14 advantage. But a 14-5 surge by the host Falcons to begin the second quarter left the Sachems looking at a 28-20 deficit they would never be able to overcome in an eventual 71-59 defeat.

Saugus kept fighting back to keep the contest competitive. The Sachems trailed 3325 at halftime and 52-42 after three. They played Danvers pretty much evenly in the final quarter – getting outscored 19-17 – but it wasn’t enough to seriously challenge for a win. Top scorer Christian Correia led the Sachems with 19 points, followed by Joe Lusso’s 15.

Saugus fared no better at home against NEC rival Lynn Classical on Tuesday, as the Rams rolled to a convincing 70-46 triumph. Correia once again led all Sachem scorers with 16 points. Lusso collected 12 points, and center Kenny Okoye had a strong game up front by hauling down eight rebounds and blocking four shots.

Tuesday’s loss left the Saugus boys at 1-10 on the season. They had a game at Lynn English on Thursday and host Medford on Tuesday, Jan. 29.

Stockwell helps lift Sachem girls to sixth victory Marissa Stockwell finished with a career-best 17 points to help the Saugus girls to an important 49-32 NEC victory at Lynn Classical on Tuesday. Stockwell drained five three-pointers as the Sachems evened their record at 6-6 to

remain in the hunt for a postseason bid.

Stiff defensive play and an efficient offensive attack were

the keys to Tuesday’s win. “We did everything we needed to do on defense,” head coach Mark Schruender told the

press after the game. “And when you combine that with a good shooting performance, it usually ends well for you;

Classical is always a tough, well-coached team. We needed a performance like this to pull out the win.”

Along with Stockwell’s big night, Alessia Salzillo dropped in 14 points and Taylor Bogdanski added eight in what was a crucial victory coming off a frustrating 38-26 home loss to Danvers last Friday. In that contest, Saugus fell behind by 18 points at halftime and couldn’t overcome it. No Sachem player finished in double figures, as Stockwell collected nine points and Kiley Ronan finished with five.

Saugus hosted Lynn English on Thursday and travel to take on Medford on Tuesday, Jan. 29.

n his report to selectmen at Wednesday night’s meeting, Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree gave them a positive update on the town’s recently concluded $1.2 million Elm Street Drainage project.

“We’ve had great results,” Crabtree told the board. “The project looks like it’s been successful. We’re going to keep monitoring it. So far, so good, we will keep an eye on it,” he said.

Crabtree’s office issued a press release earlier in the day to announce that the Elm Street Drainage Project has been completed, alleviating long-standing drainage and flooding issues for residents on Alvah, Innis and Elm Streets.

The project also included the pavement of Alvah Street, Innis Street and a portion of Elm Street.

Crabtree and the selectmen brought this improvement project before Town Meeting two years ago as a solution to ongoing flooding and drainage issues that had been plaguing residents in this neighborhood for years, according to the press release.

Finance Committee and Town Meeting demonstrated their support for the project,

which is part of an ongoing effort to continue to make capital infrastructure improvements throughout the community, Crabtree noted. The project included the construction and installation of large drain pipes of up to six feet in diameter to redirect storm water away from homeowners’ properties and into the Saugus River.

There have been numerous heavy rainstorms since the project’s completion last summer, and residents continue to express that the improvement project has alleviated their flooding and drainage issues.

The Town will continue to monitor the project throughout the coming years.

“We are proud to mitigate this decades-long flooding issue that has affected the Elm Street area. Some long-time residents of Saugus had been contending with flooding in their homes for more than 50 years, so we are extremely pleased to have resolved this matter and improved the quality of life for numerous Saugus residents,” Crabtree said in the press release.

The Saugus citizen who championed the cause for flood relief in the Elm Street area the longest and hardest was 82-year-old Innis Street homeowner Jack Perry, who has lived in the flood-plagued neighborhood since 1964.

He has been writing letters

to town officials, complaining about the flooding problems, for more than half a century. Perry has been the subject of several front page stories in The Saugus Advocate in recent years.

“We weren’t sure this would completely solve the issue, and we may have had to implement alternative solutions,” Crabtree said. “However, the project appears to be properly alleviating the issue for our residents.”

The new drainpipes have dramatically mitigated the prior flooding issues along Elm, Alvah and Innis Streets. In addition, the Town of Saugus residents and visitors will now benefit from newly paved roadways in that area, according to the town manager.

The Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee and Town Meeting demonstrated their uniform support for this important community investment during the 2016 Town Meeting, during which members voted in favor of the planning and construction of a drainage and catch basins project on Elm Street as part of the Town’s priorities and overall identified capital infrastructure needs.

“I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, Town Meeting, and residents of Saugus for their continued support of these important community initiatives,” Crabtree said.

Protect the children Amy Melton, head of the Children’s Department at the Saugus Public Library, has been having some communication with an injury-prevention specialist at Boston Children’s Hospital. She wants to set up a special seminar aimed at keeping kids safe from traffic in the streets.

“We are seeing a lot of children being hit by cars in the Greater Boston community and I’d like to do everything I can to prevent these,” Cassandra Slater wrote in a recent email to Melton.

“I have a workshop in mind for kids from 3-8 years old. We would read ‘Clifford Takes a Walk’ and talk about all of the important aspects of pedestrian safety and road safety, including: Walking in low light and bad weather and making yourself seen by cars.

Using crosswalks Watching for cars Parking lot safety Introduction to traffic signs and lights and what they mean for walkers “After the book and interactive lecture, we could set up a craft for the kids to do that’s associated with the concept of road safety.

This is an important topic to introduce children to,” Slater wrote.

Melton agreed. “I’m interested in hosting this program. I see kids run ahead of adults all the time,” Melton said.

“We often get young children here in the mornings, but although they may be young, I think a program aimed at the parents indirectly would be helpful,” she said.

No specific plans have been made yet. Stay tuned.

There were 902 men aboard the Dorchester that cold February night. Six hundred seventy-two died and there were 230 survivors. When the news of the Dorchester’s sinking reached America, the public was stunned by the magnitude

of the tragedy and by the heroic conduct of the four chaplains.

The Four Chaplains were posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart on December 19, 1944. A Special Medal for Heroism was authorized by Congress and awarded posthumously by President Eisenhower on January 18, 1961. Congress officially designated Feb. 3 as Four Chaplains Day in 1988. Observances are held each year across the nation.

It came as some surprise to discover that Wakefield has a memorial to The Four Chaplains. On May 30, 1955, a dedi-

A: Usually, she will jump up on my desk or the desk over there.

Q: And purr!

A: She always purrs, and she’s very loud.

Q: Tell me a funny story about her.

A: I think the funniest thing she does is play with the credit card machine. I don’t even have to initiate it. She just walks up, sits in front of the machine and then starts using the machine, and I have videos of her doing it. It’s hilarious when she does it. That, and when she begs for her food. An hour before her food comes down, she sits in front of her bowl and meows at everyone.

Actually, the other funny thing about her is that she knows how to hussle everyone, too. So, there was one day when she went upstairs to her dish and was meowing, and I said, “Oh, did your food not dispense?” So, I shook it and some food came down and she was

room, and she was scratching at the door. If I’m in my boss’s office with the door closed, she will sit at the door, and she can see through the window, so she will sit at the door and watch me.

Q: And she follows you all around the office.

A: Yes. If I go in the press room, she will sit at the press room door and wait for me to come back.

Q: Now, when you leave at night, does she get sad?

A: Usually, my boss is here after me, so she doesn’t get too sad, but when I walk into the office in the morning, there are lots of meows when I walk through the door. She’s looking for attention and food.

Q: And when you come in the morning, she greets you.

A: Yep, usually when I walk in the door, she’s in the corner of the desk, meowing – looking for some love.

Q: For some petting?

SOUNDS | from page 12 Under the program, which has received rave reviews in town, the elementary school students get help while the Belmonte students get credits for community service. The library again will be partnering with the Belmonte Middle School to offer free, dropin homework help in the Community Room to Saugus elementary school students to help foster strong academic and study skills outside of school hours.

No registration is required, but students must be signed in/out by a parent or guardian. The parent or guardian must remain on library grounds while the student is receiving homework assistance pursuant to an unaccompanied minors policy.

This program is open to students in grades K-5. The subjects students can get help with are math, science, grammar, reading, social studies, geography and more. Hey parents, here’s some help if you child needs it.

cation ceremony took place at Temple Emmanuel. An Interfaith Memorial Plaque was presented to Temple Emmanuel by Dr. and Mrs. Joseph S. Leavitt.

According to the records of the Temple, the gifts of the Four Chaplains Plaque and the Memorial Marker were given “in recognition of the Brotherhood of all Mankind.”

The Temple record continues, “The tablet at the entrance to the Temple commemorates the heroic sacrifice in selfless devotion of the Four Chaplains. It is an enduring reminder of the love and loyalty which is productive of understanding among those of all faiths and a respect of the dignity of all

men. It symbolizes men’s best hope for peace in his longing for World Brotherhood.”

In observance of Four Chaplains Day, Temple Emmanuel will hold a Shabbat of Remembrance of the Four Chaplains on Friday, February 1, 2019, at 7:30 p.m. Interested Veterans and members of the community are welcome to attend. Temple Emmanuel is located at 120 Chestnut St. in Wakefield. For more information, go to www.

so happy. Then my boss came by, and she started meowing at him, and he says “Oh, didn’t you get her food?” And he shook it and some food came down, and she ate the food, and then another person came by, and she started meowing and he did the same thing. He shook the bowl. So, she was fed three times in a row. I guess it’s because she knows how to finesse people.

Q: Are these like treats?

A: No, it’s her actual food. She just loves food so much. Obviously, it’s not good for her to be overweight, but actually she’s lost weight. The woman who

was here before me would feed her all of the time, so since that person is gone, she’s lost a lot of weight.

Q: Anything else that you would like to share about her?

A: Other than the fact that she loves humans so much …

I’m more of a dog person, but she’s kind of like a dog. She loves food, attention. She loves to play. She loves to sleep.

Whenever I tell somebody I have an office cat, they are usually jealous. I’ve had delivery drivers say they come in just to see her and say “hi” to her.

People who know her love her.

title, defeating Xaverian for the second season in a row, 3510, at Gillette Stadium. DiBiaso reached another milestone this season, earning his 300th coaching win on September 23 at St. John’s Prep.

Mayor, City Council to apply $12.5 million Wynn payment to reduce tax rate The City Council unanimously approved a proposal by Mayor Carlo DeMaria on Monday, November 13 to apply the entirety of Wynn Boston Harbor’s $12.5 million payment to the City of Everett toward reducing next year’s tax rate. The mayor made a similar move last year, when he successfully applied the entirety of a $5 million payment from Wynn toward the tax rate.

City Council adopts FY 18 tax rate The City Council unanimously voted to adopt a split levy rate on Monday, November 27, shifting the burden from residential to Commercial, Industrial and Personal Property (CIP) at the highest shift of 175 percent.

The FY 18 tax rate will be $13.78 per $1,000 of valuation on residential properties and $33.74 per $1,000 of valuation on CIP properties. If the council hadn’t approved the shift, the flat rate for residential property and CIP would have been $19.28 per $1,000.

The shift will not prevent homeowners from seeing a small increase in their actual taxes, as home values have skyrocketed in the city over the last year.

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

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