PAL at Essex County Summer Day Camp
Over the first two weeks of August 2008, Lieutenant Ron Witten and
Sergeant Mike Stewart of the Saugus Police Department took 40
Saugus 5th graders to the Essex County Summer Day Camp. The
camp is held in Salem, MA at the CollinsMiddle School and while
there, the kids learn of the dangers of drugs, alcohol and tobacco. High school
age teens work as peer councilors assisting the police officers in discussions
about drug resistance and confidence building.
They also get to go to the DanversHigh School planetarium, bowling,
the Franklin Park Zoo and on the final day see a movie at Hollywood Hits.
This is the 5th year that Saugus has attended this camp along with the
following communities, Salem, Danvers, Ipswich, Marblehead, Swampscott,
and Lynn.
A special Thank You is to be sent out to the Square One Mall for helping
out with the transportation to and from the camp for the Saugus youth.
A great time was had by all. ____________________________________________
"Take a Kid Fishing" Day Saturday, June 7, 2008 at Camp Nihan was a
great success.More than 100 children turned out
to participate in the 3rd Annual "Take a Kid Fishing Day".
The event, co-sponsored by Tom's Bait and Tackle and
Saugus Community Policing, invites parents to take a child
freshwater fishing at Camp Nihan.
Tom's Bait and Tackle provides free fishing rods, bait, bobbers
and hooks for all, on the first Saturday in June each year.
The event is part of a nationwideeffort to encourage a love of fishing in young people.
Each year, the statewaives the required fishing license so parents can introduce
their children to the sport.
This year's big winner was Kendal Leahy, 4, who pulled in nine fish to win a
fabulous pink tackle box. Cameron Pozark and Jake Blaney tied for the
largest fish - each hooking a bass that weighed in at 2.2 pounds. For the
second year in a row, prizes were all donated by Dick's Sporting Goods.
Refreshments were provided through the generosity of Dunkin Donuts on
Essex Street, J & M Pizza, Shaw's Supermarket, Stop & Shop, and the
Fox Hill Yacht Club. Next year's event will take place on Saturday, June 6th.
