SHS Football Sachems Thanksgiving Preview SHS VS. Peabody High School at Stackpole Field, Kick-Off 10:00 AM
The 2013 SHS Sachems Varsity Football Cheerleaders
The Saugus High Sachems football team has had its ups and down this year. The Sachems have a chance to leave 2013 on a high note, as they get to square off against their arch-nemesis, the Peabody Tanners at Saugus’ Stackpole Field on Thanksgiving Day.
By Jerry DiStefano his rivalry stopped a few years back, but has now kicked back into gear. The Sa-
T
chems dismantled the Tanners last Thanksgiving to the tune of 43-0, but Peabody got the better of Saugus the year before. The Sachems will not take
this game lightly. “We know that Peabody is going to come in with a lot of fire because of last year,� Broderick said. “They were a very young team last year, and a lot of their players were a part of the blow out last year. We have to be ready and prepared to be in for a very emotional, physical and passionate game, and if we are not then we could be in trouble.� Saugus will be coming into Thanksgiving with a record of 2-7, while Peabody will be coming in with a record of 3-7.

Eustis Street residents fearful of new property purchase Earlier this month, residents and neighbors of Eustis Street formed a long line to the guest podium of the Town Hall during a Saugus Board of Selectmen meeting, calling attention to the possibility of the street being used as a route for construction traffic to a plot of undeveloped property which spans over 40 acres into Revere.

resentatives to speak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing their jobs,â&#x20AC;? said a wistful Robert Camuso, who did a majority of the speaking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need help, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I am here.â&#x20AC;? A major problem that Camuso and his neighbors foresee is not merely the new traffic, but the significant damage that big construction vehicles would cause to the road and the piping underneath them. For the Eustis Street locals, the new dilemma strikes as a threatening case of dĂŠjĂ vu after, several years ago, they felt the impact of heavy traffic during the construction of a local church. But the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pleas did not fall on deaf ears: Board members and Town Manager Scott Crabtree sought to reach the best resolution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an issue weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had for years,â&#x20AC;? said Selectman Stephen Castinetti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people need to be our priority. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time we shut down that road [for trucking]. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair to the people of Eustis Street under any circumstance.â&#x20AC;? Castinettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks were met with thunderous applause echoing through Town Hall. Selectman Maureen Dever opted to seek a â&#x20AC;&#x153;common senseâ&#x20AC;? resolution to the dilemma, citing the street as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;war zone for trucking.â&#x20AC;? Many of the Eustis Street residents pointed to evidence of damage done to their street through past instances of heavy trucking in the area, with one
woman referencing pipe leaks on her property that she believed to be a direct result of the construction. Town Manager Crabtree suggested pragmatic solutions to the problems, including sending the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineering firm to look into the street and develop a report on its structure. However, when Board members suggested an engineering study on the damage done by heavy vehicles on the road, the Town Manager warned that it would be difficult, because such studies need constant truck traffic to be conducted. The aim of such a report would be to ban construction vehicles from using the road. Economic Development Coordinator Robert Luongo, who has been in contact with DiNanno, said that the property developer does not yet know what his exact plans with the land are. He went on to say that he does not believe DiNanno intends to use Eustis Street for construction traffic, but that it has not been confirmed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do not know what they want to do yet,â&#x20AC;? said Luongo of the buyers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be involved in the planning process. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to protect the interest of Saugus residents in an around Eustis Street.â&#x20AC;? Following the discussion, the Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to ask the Department of Public Works to analyze the structural integrity of Eustis Street, and to get feedback on sewage system status.

Saugus Establishes Record Free Cash own Manager Scott Crabtree is pleased to announce that the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) has certified the Fiscal Year 2013 Free Cash amount for Saugus at $2,063,605. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the largest amount of free cash that has ever been certified for the Town of Saugus,â&#x20AC;? states Crabtree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is consistent with our recently adopted financial management policies that the town seeks to meet the strong recommendations of the Department of Revenue Director of Local Accounts Gerald Perry, First Southwest Senior Vice President Peter Frazier, the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial adviser, as well as the guideline of the International City Managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association (ICMA) that free cash represent at least 3% of a townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual
T
Scott C. Crabtree Town Manager
budget.â&#x20AC;? Saugus has an annual budget of 80 million dollars for FY2014. Free cash consists of unanticipated revenues, account balances and other miscella-
neous receipts that were obtained throughout the previous year. Crabtree pointed out that nearly 51% of the two million was obtained from higher than projected revenues in the form of permits, excise taxes and other non-recurring economy driven sources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saugus has benefitted from a modest uptick in economic activity. Our residents appear to be purchasing more new cars, our restaurant sales have increased and more hotel/motel rooms have been occupied than was anticipated.â&#x20AC;? Additionally spending reversions from various town accounts reflect the conservative approach to spending utilized by the various municipal departments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our reliance on outside contractors to do work
has substantially decreased and that is now reflecting in some of our line item balances such as building and highway maintenance,â&#x20AC;? explains Crabtree. Ultimately it is Crabtreeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal to boost the Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond rating, something that cannot happen unless sustained levels of yearly free cash become the rule, rather than the exception for Saugus. Earlier this year the town was reviewed and approved by the Municipal Finance Oversight Board (MFOB) under the State Qualified Bond
Act which resulted in significant savings for the town and the taxpayers. Lastly, Crabtree thanked the employees, the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee and Town Meeting for accepting and working within the newly established financial policies that made this possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The buy in from those that control the Saugus purse strings will result in a community that has a healthy and sound financial outlook,â&#x20AC;? concludes Crabtree.

Monday, November 18 Don’t mind if we ask… A Saugus PD detective reported two males driving around in a pick-up truck checking out a home on Davis Court. According to the detective, it appeared that the two men were looking for scrap metal in the area. After he spoke to the two men, they left after leaving a note with the homeowner inquiring about their scrap.
Wednesday, November 20 At first I thought Elwood Blues was in town An emergency call to police reported a brown briefcase chained to a fire hydrant at the
THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE - Wednesday, November 27, 2013
corner of Newhall Avenue and Ballard Street just before Route 107. According to the report, the briefcase was later identified by police as devices installed by the Mass. Water Resources Authority to record water pressure – or scare the bejesus out of us in this post-911 world. What were they thinking?!!
Heart attack suspected in vehicle crash into building An emergency call brought emergency crews to Essex Plaza due to a report of a motor vehicle crash into a building. According to the report, a female driving a Toyota Corolla struck the building near a dental office. The victim was trans-
ported to Melrose-Wakefield Hospital for treatment.
The yellow vest and hard hat makes him important A Prospect Street resident called police to report that a man, described as heavy set and wearing a yellow vest and a hard hat, was going into yards around the neighborhood. The suspicious male was last seen in the area of the Blessed Sacrament Church. A dispatched officer was unable to locate the unidentified hard-headed-yellowvest-wearing man.
What part of her story screams clueless? A woman walked into police HQ to report that a dia-
mond bracelet and earrings were stolen out of her car while it was parked at the Square One Mall parking lot. The reason she claims was simple: She left them inside the car that she left unlocked. Surprised? I didn’t think so.
Thursday, November 21 There are laws against misuse of Continental Breakfasts A caller at the Holiday Inn Express reported that a woman was throwing rocks at a van, causing damage. A dispatched officer reported that he spoke to the two parties involved and couldn’t find any damage to the vehicle in question. According to the report, the item re-
portedly thrown was a pastry.
Friday, November 22 Isn’t one accident too many? GMC OnStar reported a multivehicle accident near Burger King on Route 1 North – requiring emergency crews and an ambulance. But moments later, there was a report of another accident near Dunkin Donuts on Route 1 South in the high speed lane. Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to extract the victim from the vehicle. The victim was transported to Melrose-Wakefield Hospital for treatment.
Who’s afraid of the big, bad … coyote? Three youths alerted police that they were chased by what one thought was a large coyote on Orcutt Avenue. The three boys were transported to their residence by police.
Saturday, November 23 As long as it wasn’t measuring water pressure Police received a call about a suspicious black briefcase found at the corner of Walnut and Water Streets. Dispatched officers reported that the briefcase was left by accident the day before and that they identified the owner. The briefcase was brought back to police HQ, and the owner was contacted.
T’aint nothing funny about that The manager of the Prince Restaurant reported a fight in the Giggles Comedy Club, stating that unidentified persons were throwing drinking glasses at one another. Officers responded and reported that a Ford Mustang with some of the combatants fled the area and they were unable to be located by police.
Sunday, November 24 Was it a kidnapping or a car accident? Nope – just your everyday phone scam. It seems a Main Street business owner reported to police that a Hispanic male phoned him to report that his brother was involved in a car accident and he was allegedly holding him at knifepoint, demanding $4,000. An officer was dispatched and reported that he called the number that demanded the money and it went immediately to voicemail. The man’s brother’s numbers were called and it was soon discovered that he

Letter to the Editor: Saugusbank thanks supporters of Troop Supply Drive Dear Editor, Saugusbank would like to express its thanks the community for their generous support of our recent Troop Supply Drive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; conducted on behalf of Saugus Military Families, Inc. During the month of October all Saugusbank branches served as drop-off centers for donated items, which were then sent overseas to those serving in
the military. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleased to report that this effort collected twenty large boxes of items, ranging from books and DVDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to clothing and snack foods to assorted toiletries. Needless to say, we were overwhelmed with this response. In addition, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also so like to thank Diane Bleng, Jane Peluso and Laura Taglieri, as well as the volunteers from
Saugus Military Families. In pursuit of their organizational goals these individuals selflessly give of their time and
energy: conducting fundraising events, organizing mailings and support for military families at home.

Five Mystic Valley Girls Named Soccer All Stars Five members of the Mystic Valley girls’ soccer team were named to the Commonwealth Athletic Conference All Star team. The all stars are: Samantha Rizzo, Meghan Foley, Katarina Diplacido, Alex Cimetti and Feliciana Panza. he league MVP was given to Samantha Rizzo. This is the second year in a row that the league MVP came from Mystic Valley. “Sam was the most feared player by the opposing team as one coach told me. Her speed and skill on the right flank is unmatched in the league. She was not only a threat for us offensively but she was also a shutdown half back defensively. She played both sides of the field for us all season. She was also recently named an Eastern Mass All Star which is an honor no other player from Mystic Valley had ever achieved, she was also the first player selected from the CAC. Sam was also named to the All-State Team which went to only eight players in their respective division.” said Coach Mike White. Coach White continued to speak proudly of his players: Sophomore – Meghan Foley – Led the league in scoring this season with
T
12 goals and 9 assists, Meghan was our offensive center midfield and had an excellent season she is a two time All Star and is going to be one of the most dangerous players in the league next year. Junior Captain – Samantha Rizzo – Second in the league in scoring this season with 12 goals and 8 assists. This is her first All Star selection, but not her last. Senior – Katarina Diplacido – she was seventh in the league in points with 7 goals and 6 assists, she also missed six games due to injury. This is her second All Star selection. Senior Captain– Alex Cimetti – Had a great season for us playing the defensive center mid spot and also moving back to the stopper spot due to injuries. This is her first selection and she also had 3 goals and 5 assists on the season. Senior Captain – Feliciana Panza – Fe
MVP Samantha Rizzo of Everett, Foley and Diplacido of Malden, Cimetti of Saugus and Panza of Medford.
was our anchor in the back this year playing all 18 games at sweeper for us. She is a natural stopper or center midfield, but with a first year goalie and a
young defense (she was the only starter returning from a year ago) we needed her to play in the back and she did an outstanding job all season.
SHS FOOTBALL SACHEMS THANKSGIVING PREVIEW | from page 1 Like the record, Peabody and Saugus are very similar teams. “Both teams want to run the ball and dominate time of possession,” Broderick said. “Last year we were the more veteran team and this year that has flipped. We have only seven seniors on our roster. It’s apparent the younger players have gotten the memo of how important and significant this game is and will be next Thursday.” The Sachems may only have seven seniors on their squad this year, but that does not stop their normal traditions leading up to the Thanksgiv-
ing game. “We’ve had many players from the past comeback this week to see our team practice and prepare for Peabody,” Broderick said. “It really is a very special two weeks preparing for a game that will draw our biggest crowd all season. The seniors have had a very good week of practice and are setting the tone for our younger players. I feel very good about our chances next Thursday.” Thanksgiving kickoff will be at 10:00 A.M. at Stackpole Field, take in some great football and hopefully witness another Saugus victory.

tion reporting on sports participation data show a 13 percent decline in tackle football since 2011, over half the decline in 7 to 11 year olds. Massachusetts is among the leaders in decreasing number of players, the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) and the National Federation of State High School Associations report that we declined by 11.3 percent since the 2006-2007 season, from 22,181 players to 19,667. Other sports appear to be getting the students who formerly went out for football. During the last 7 years lacrosse has increased by 1,700, cross country runners by 1,100, and soccer by 360. MIAA spokesperson, Paul Wetzel is quoted as stating that boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer teams have increased in the Bay State from 165 schools to 221 last year. He notes that parents from the suburbs, the middle class, are turning away from football for their sons and moving them to soccer. The only area that is maintaining the status quo is the poorer sections of urban cities. In Vermont, Bob Johnson, associate executive director of the Vermont Principles Association says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teams that may have had 30 to 40 players may now have 25 to 35 players, and many schools do not have freshmen teams because of a lack of players. High school football continues to grow in Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Alabama; it is decreasing in northern states such as Nebraska, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The hand writing appears to be on the wall. Many parents are deciding that the risk is too great for their sons, and steer them to less contact sports. But even sports like hockey, lacrosse, and soccer are experiencing a small number of concussions according to the reports from athletic directors around the state. Many schools and colleges now have students take a brain wave before the season starts to use as a benchmark. Then if you sustain a concussion, a new brainwave can be taken and compared to the baseline to determine if you are capable of returning to games.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our readers!

MASSDOT OPENS NEW E-ZPASS CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER ON ROUTE 1 by Jim Miller
Saugus Square One Mall Location Convenient to Tobin Bridge Commuters OSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In preparation for the conversion to All Electronic Tolling (AET) on the Tobin Bridge, MassDOT Secretary & CEO Richard A. Davey and Highway Administrator Frank DePaola celebrated the opening of the new E-ZPass Customer Service Center located inside the Square One Mall in Saugus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come spring your Tobin Bridge toll will be collected electronically. There will be no cash and no stopping,â&#x20AC;? said Secretary Davey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Governor Patrick is committed to expanding that toll colleĐźction model statewide and the establishment of this E-ZPass Service Center will ease the transition for our customers.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A presence at Square One is an important step in increasing customer awareness of the changes ahead at the Tobin,â&#x20AC;? said Highway Administrator DePaola. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It remains free to join the E-ZPass program and we hope holiday shoppers will stop at the Service Center this season to sign-up.â&#x20AC;? The Customer Service Center will be open on Black Friday to service late night/early morning shoppers with hours beginning at midnight on Friday, November 29th through 10pm that evening. With the influx of holiday shoppers, MassDOT is reminding customers that E-ZPass gift certificates are available and can be applied to new or existing accounts. Available denominations are $30 and $50. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ensuring that we have the best technology and are providing top-notch customer service will help Massachusetts achieve our transportation goals and set the Commonwealth on a path towards continued economic growth,â&#x20AC;? said House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thank Secretary Davey and Administrator DePaola for their work in advancing our transportation and highway systems.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is great that we have an EZ Pass Service Center in Saugus for North Shore drivers to conveniently obtain transponders and assistance with their accounts,â&#x20AC;? said Senator Thomas McGee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all-electronic tolling being implemented next year on the Tobin Bridge, it is important that drivers are made aware of this change and have easy access to a center that will help make a smooth transition for their future travels.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased that the Department of Transportation has opened an E-ZPass Service Center for North Shore commuters,â&#x20AC;? said Senator Katherine Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I encourage my constituents to take advantage of the convenient services offered as we
B
move forward with our implementation of a 21st century transportation network in the Commonwealth.â&#x20AC;? Services to offered to customers at the Square One location include the ability to sign-up for a new transponder, add a vehicle to your current account, add cash value to your existing E-ZPass, update a vehicle registration number, enroll in applicable resident discount programs, and receive assistance with violations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to thank MassDOT for making the E-Z pass program more accessible for our residents,â&#x20AC;? said Senator Sal DiDomenico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opening of this new service center will allow more people to enroll in the program and will give them easier access to services.â&#x20AC;? The Square One Mall location is one of four E-ZPass Service Centers: Auburn on Midstate Drive, East Boston on Havre Street, and Natick at the Turnpike Eastbound Service Plaza. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new Service Center will be a great resource for all our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motorists,â&#x20AC;? Representative Kathi-Anne Reinstein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am thankful to Secretary Davey and MassDOT for their efforts to assist commuters from the North Shore, especially with the implementation of All Electronic Tolling approaching next year.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new E-ZPass Service Center in Square One Mall will make the program more accessible to residents of Saugus and sur-
rounding communities,â&#x20AC;? said Rachel Molina, Director of Marketing and Business Development at the mall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to offer our customers and the area this convenience and assistance, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thrilled to have the MassDOT E-ZPass Service Center join our lineup of valued vendors + retailers.â&#x20AC;? Regular hours are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10am to 6pm, with extended hours on Wednesdays from 10am to 8pm. The Service Center is open on Saturdays from 10am to 4pm, but closed on Sundays and Monday. Customers may join E-ZPass online www.mass.gov/ezpassma or by phone 1-877-627-7745. In 2009, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) was created to unify the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various transportation agencies. MassDOT now includes the Highway division, the MBTA and Mass Transit, Aeronautics, and the Registry of Motor Vehicles. MassDOT is committed to providing a safe and reliable transportation system to all those who travel in the Commonwealth and works to deliver excellent customer service. MassDOT has been nationally recognized for its innovative approach to transportation, including the Accelerated Bridge Program, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Bus and Train?â&#x20AC;? apps and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fast 14â&#x20AC;? work.

How to Create a Living Will Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some good resources that can help seniors create a living will? Getting Old Dear Getting Creating a living will is one of those things most people plan to do, but rarely get around to actually doing. Less than 30 percent of Americans currently have one. But preparing one now gives you say in how you want to be treated at the end of your life, not to mention it can spare your loved ones some very stressful medical care decisions at an emotional time. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you should know along with some resources to help you create one. Advance Directives To adequately spell out your wishes regarding your end-oflife medical treatment you need two legal documents: A â&#x20AC;&#x153;living willâ&#x20AC;? which tells your doctor what kind of care you want to receive if you become incapacitated, and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;health care power of attorneyâ&#x20AC;? (or health care proxy), which names a person you authorize to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become unable to. These two documents are known as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;advance directive,â&#x20AC;? and will only be utilized if you are too ill to make medical decisions yourself. You can also change or update it whenever you please. You may also want to consider including a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) as part of your advance directive, since advanced directives do little to protect you from unwanted emergency care like CPR. Doctors and hospitals in all states accept DNR orders. One other tool you should know about that will compliment your advance directive is the Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST). Currently endorsed in 16 states with dozens more in some phase of development, a POLST translates your end-oflife wishes into medical orders to be honored by your doctors. To learn more or set one up, see polst.org. Do-It-Yourself There are several free or low-
cost resources available today to help you write your advance directive, and it takes only a few minutes from start to finish. One thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely free to use is Caring Connections, a resource created by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. They provide state-specific advance directive forms with instructions on their website (caringinfo. org) that you can download and print for free. Or you can call 800-658-8898 and they will mail them to you and answer any questions you may have. You may also be able to get free advance directive forms from your doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, hospital or local health department. Or, for only $5, an even better tool is the Five Wishes living will. Created by Aging with Dignity, a nonprofit advocacy organization, Five Wishes is a simple do-it-yourself document that covers all facets of an advance directive that will help you create a more detailed customized document. Legally valid in 42 states, to learn more or to receive a copy, visit agingwithdignity.org or call 888-5947437. Five Wishes can also be completed online for free for a limited time at fivewishes.org. Get Legal Help If, however, you decide you would rather use a lawyer to draft your advance directive, look for one who specializes in estate planning and health care related matters. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (naela.org) and the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (naepc. org) websites are good resources that have directories to help you find someone in your area. Costs will vary depending on which state you reside in, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $500 to get one made. Tell Your Family To insure your final wishes are followed, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important that you tell your family members, health care proxy and doctor so they all know what you want. You should also provide copies of your advanced directive to everyone involved to help prevent stress and arguments later.
