Saugus High graduate Matt Serino returns to Sachem Country as its new athletic director
Town’s native son promises to grow the individual sports programs with plenty of community involvement. Matt Serino is back home where he enjoyed some of his biggest successes in sports. The two-time state high school hockey champion for the Saugus Sachems in 2003 and 2004 is the new athletic director on the Pearce Memorial Drive campus replacing Terry Pillsbury.
Will this be the last 40B project for Saugus?
A recent Route 1 apartment proposal may help the town to meet its 10 percent affordable housing requirement. Until the town reaches a 10 percent threshold of affordable housing, it is virtually powerless to prevent the development of so-called 40B apartment projects. That’s concerning to town officials who have initiated zoning measures in recent years to limit the development of apartments along Route 1. But selectmen say the latest 40B project proposed for the town – 189 mixed-income multifamily rental units planned by Interstate Properties Management, Inc. near its office building on Route 1 South – could be the last such project of its kind.
~ The Advocate Asks ~ Young Saugus Sachems Track Camp athletes talk about how the summer experience benefited them
Editor’s Note: For this week’s column, we accepted an invitation from Coach Chris Tarantino, who oversees the Saugus Sachems Track Camp, to come down to the MacNeill Memorial Track Field to interview some of the kids who competed in this year’s summer track camp, several of the supportive parents and volunteer coaches. Tarantino, a 1990 Saugus High School graduate who distinguished himself as a star while on the Sachem track team, has been running a track camp for more than 20 years. A group of 44 participants in the Saugus Sachems Track Camp – boys and girls ranging in age from four to 18 – finished second overall among 15 teams competing in last Saturday’s (July 20) Fourth Annual CLCF Summer Showdown in Cranston, R.I. The Saugus kids took home 19 first-place awards. Tarantino called Wednesday night’s final meeting of the summer track team “one last hurrah” – an opportunity for the kids to hang out as teammates for one final time, share their success and competition experience, take some photos with the second-place meet trophy and enjoy one more day of camaraderie. Here are some highlights from the interviews with the kids, parents and coach.
