who were all members<br />
of North Shore Chamber<br />
Music, included Scott<br />

Selectmen serve<br />
new liquor regulations<br />
By Leah Dearborn<br />
The Board of Selectmen approved<br />
a new set of regulations<br />
for liquor license holders at a<br />
meeting on Monday, Dec. 12 and<br />
appointed three liquor enforcement<br />
officers.<br />
“We actually don’t have<br />
a liquor policy right now.<br />
Nothing substantial,” said<br />
Town Administrator James M.<br />
Boudreau. “This puts them on notice<br />
of what their behavior is and<br />
gives penalties.”<br />
When asked why the town had<br />
no liquor policy before, Boudreau<br />
said in an email that because he<br />
has only worked in town for two<br />
years, he can’t speak to why<br />
nothing was in place.<br />
“My thought would be that the<br />
town did not have many pouring<br />
licenses (restaurants) until Market<br />
Street was constructed,” said<br />
Boudreau in the email. “Working<br />
with Chief Breen on the liquor<br />
enforcement issue, we realized<br />
that this was something that we<br />
needed to be put in place.”<br />
According to information provided<br />
by Boudreau, nine of the<br />
$9.99<br />
12 all-alcohol restaurant licenses<br />
renewed this year in town were<br />
located on Market Street.<br />
Police Chief David J. Breen,<br />
who was one of the appointed enforcement<br />
officers, attended the<br />
meeting and presented the board<br />
with the proposed regulation<br />
changes.<br />
According to the new rules<br />
and regulations, any infraction<br />
may be grounds for action by the<br />
board including the modification,<br />
suspension, revocation, non-renewal<br />
or cancellation of a license.<br />
The guidelines for action<br />
suggest that a first violation be<br />
treated with a letter of reprimand<br />
and/or suspension of the license<br />
up to three days. Liquor closing<br />
hours of 11 p.m. for 10 days may<br />
also be imposed.<br />
The second violation is penalized<br />
by suspension of the liquor<br />
license from three to 10 days and<br />
liquor closing hours of 11 p.m.<br />
for 30 days.<br />
Three violations are cause for<br />
suspension from 10 to 30 days<br />
with liquor closing hours of 11<br />
p.m. to be enforced for 30 days.<br />

A fourth violation results in the<br />
revocation of the license.<br />
Breen explained the changes as<br />
a way of letting license holders<br />
know what’s at stake.<br />
The changes included harsher<br />
penalties for serving a minor,<br />
with three violations leading to a<br />
license revocation when the sale<br />
or service of alcohol to underage<br />
drinkers is involved.<br />
Boudreau recalled an establishment<br />
that had its liquor license<br />
suspended for two weekends<br />
during NFL playoff season.<br />
“It’s a big hurt. That’s how seriously<br />
this board takes underage<br />
drinking,” said Boudreau.<br />
Board member Richard Dalton<br />
questioned the severity of the<br />
penalties and asked what would<br />
happen if a license holder with<br />
a long history of responsibility<br />
wound up before the board for an<br />
infraction.<br />
“These are guidelines,” said<br />
Boudreau. “The board still has<br />
the right to make decisions based<br />
on individual cases. You maintain<br />
the discretion to do less or to do<br />
more.”<br />
Board votes to bundle<br />
ambulance rates<br />
By Leah Dearborn<br />
In an attempt to reduce discrepancies<br />
between insurance and<br />
town billing, ambulance services<br />
are switching from an à la carte<br />
policy to a flat bundled rate after<br />
a vote by the Board of Selectmen<br />
on Monday.<br />
According to information distributed<br />
by the Fire Department,<br />
advanced life support, level 1<br />
(ALS1) will cost $2,150 under<br />
the new bundled rate as opposed<br />
to the current rate of $1,500.<br />
Basic life support will cost<br />
$1,650. Under the current system,<br />
basic life support is a charge of<br />
$1,000 but the cost doesn’t include<br />
items like oxygen, defibrillation<br />
and medications, which are<br />
all extra charges.<br />
Medicare rates will not go up<br />
or down.<br />
Bill Mergendahl, president and<br />
CEO of Pro EMS Solutions in<br />
Cambridge was at the meeting to<br />
review the policy changes.<br />
“What you have is a legacy<br />
situation of outdated claims<br />
and charges,” said Mergendahl.<br />
“Frankly, this à la carte rate<br />
doesn’t function well anymore.”<br />
Mergendahl emphasized the<br />
importance of developing a flexible<br />
ambulance policy system that<br />
never discourages people from<br />
calling 911.<br />
Fire Chief Mark W. Tetreault<br />
explained at a meeting back in<br />
November that the town provides<br />
an ambulance services waiver to<br />
residents who make an income<br />
below the national poverty line.<br />
Mergendahl said the town<br />
should be able to reduce or eliminate<br />
the bills of patients on the<br />
the Health Safety Net program<br />
without fuss because those individuals<br />
have already been vetted<br />
by the state.<br />
Since the state normally<br />
doesn’t reimburse the town for<br />
waivers, the town can then write<br />
off financial hardship cases, said<br />
Mergendahl.<br />
“This is not out of the ordinary<br />
by any stretch,” said Mergendahl<br />
about the present policy. “You’re<br />
a little behind the curve on<br />
switching to bundled billing.”<br />
Town Administrator James<br />
Boudreau said that switching to<br />
Pro EMS as a billing company<br />
has allowed the town to bill<br />
faster, code it better and bring in<br />
returns more quickly.<br />
“The new rate system will make<br />
that even better,” Boudreau said.<br />

<strong>Lynnfield</strong> schools<br />
hold active<br />
shooter trainings<br />
By Adam Swift<br />
It is one of those scenarios<br />
parents, students and staff hope<br />
will never come to pass, but the<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> schools are making<br />
sure they are on the cutting edge<br />
of active shooter preparations.<br />
The district’s three-person security<br />
team updated the board<br />
at last week’s school committee<br />
meeting on the new ALICE active<br />
shooter training program.<br />
ALICE is an acronym for alert,<br />
lockdown, inform, counter and<br />
evacuate. It highlights the steps to<br />
be taken in case there is a shooter<br />
at a school or on school property.<br />
Beginning earlier this year, the<br />
three-person team of middle school<br />
Principal Stephen Ralston, School<br />
Resource Officer Pat Curran, and<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> Police Sergeant Al<br />
Scotina have been meeting with<br />
staff and town officials to make the<br />
active shooter response training in<br />
the district’s four schools.<br />
“We want to make the students<br />
and the schools safe,” said police<br />
Chief David Breen. “It has been<br />
an enormous task to go into each<br />
classroom and identify escape<br />
routes and areas where the students<br />
can reconvene.”<br />
Curran said the ALICE training<br />
is based on many cases and<br />
studies of critical incidents across<br />
the country, using timelines,<br />
methods, and patterns from different<br />
scenarios.<br />
“These tools increase survivability<br />
in the different scenarios,”<br />
Curran said.<br />
Training of teachers got underway<br />
earlier this school year, and<br />
there is still much work to be done,<br />
including training and information<br />
sessions with other school staff,<br />
students and parents, said Scotina.<br />
He said the schools and the police<br />
department are also collaborating<br />
with the public works department<br />
to provide additional physical enhancements<br />
for the classrooms and<br />
to map out bus routes in the event<br />
of an active shooter situation.<br />
Ralston said the informational<br />
meeting for parents could take<br />
place some time this spring.<br />
“I think you are being very proactive<br />
in handling a situation that<br />
can be very difficult if it arises,”<br />
said school committee member<br />
Richard Sjoberg.<br />
Sjoberg asked about the reaction<br />
from teachers about the<br />
training and program.<br />
“It has been very well received,”<br />
Curran said. “They are pleased that<br />
we are putting a plan into action.”<br />
Breen praised the collaboration<br />
between police, the schools, and<br />
town officials to help make the<br />
response training a reality.<br />
“We need good collaboration,”<br />
said Breen. “In my <strong>22</strong> years in<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong>, I’ve worked with four<br />
or five superintendents … and<br />
nobody has worked harder or collaborated<br />
closer with the police<br />
department than Superintendent<br />
(Jane) Tremblay.”<br />

Computer Science Week<br />
gives STEM a boost<br />
By Leah Dearborn<br />
Family Coding Night at the<br />
High School brought out 250<br />
people who took part in coding<br />
and robotics exercises in celebration<br />
of the third annual Computer<br />
Science Week on Dec. 15.<br />
“It was unbelievable,<br />
mind-boggling,” said Digital<br />
Learning Coordinator Jennifer<br />
Judkins.<br />
Younger students were given<br />
KIBO robots that use wooden<br />
blocks with bar codes on them<br />
to indicate different movements.<br />
Attendees could also experiment<br />
with Sphero robot toys, which are<br />
controlled by tablet.<br />
Judkins said high school computer<br />
science students went to the<br />
Huckleberry Hill and Summer<br />
Street Elementary Schools earlier<br />
in the week and were asked<br />
Looking for past issues?<br />
Find them on<br />
weeklynews.net<br />
to give presentations on what<br />
coding is.<br />
“Parents were speaking to<br />
us, saying their kids want to do<br />
more,” said Judkins, explaining<br />
how the high school visits affected<br />
the elementary students.<br />
“I’m a mom and I worry about<br />
screen time. It’s good for parents<br />
to see that not all screen time is<br />
equal.”<br />
Judkins recommended the website<br />
Code.org for parents who are<br />
looking for free computer science<br />
activities.<br />
Although the school system has<br />
participated in Computer Science<br />
Week in the past, Judkins said<br />
this was the first Family Coding<br />
Night. She said it will probably<br />
be back again next year, but it is<br />
hoped, in a larger space.<br />

Judkins said there are also plans<br />
to launch a new Makerspace<br />
at <strong>Lynnfield</strong> Middle School in<br />
January.<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> is one of the few<br />
school districts in the state to have<br />
a strong Makerspace program,<br />
said Judkins, who explained the<br />
concept as an area that focuses on<br />
student-centered creative play.<br />
Judkins said the district rolled<br />
out pilot Makerspaces at the<br />
High School and Summer Street<br />
School last year and another this<br />
year at the Huckleberry School.<br />
According to a slide presentation<br />
by Judkins about<br />
Makerspaces, the elementary<br />
school space is designed to<br />
teach electric circuits, creativity,<br />
computational thinking, engineering<br />
and collaboration through<br />
monthly design challenges.<br />

Holiday<br />
Why a real Christmas tree is<br />
the best holiday decoration<br />
You are helping<br />
the earth!<br />
The entire time a tree<br />
is growing, it is taking in<br />
carbon dioxide and releasing<br />
oxygen, cleaning the air<br />
and helping slow climate<br />
change.<br />
There are about 1 million<br />
acres in production for<br />
growing Christmas trees.<br />
Each acre provides the daily<br />
oxygen requirements of<br />
18 people.<br />
No matter how many years<br />
you reuse an artificial tree,<br />
someday it will get thrown<br />
away and end up in a landfill<br />
for the next 1,000 years!<br />
You are supporting<br />
American industry!<br />
Real Christmas trees are<br />
an all-American product,<br />
grown on farms in all 50 states<br />
including Alaska and Hawaii.<br />
Buying real trees helps<br />
support small local farmers<br />
and at the end of the holiday<br />
season, the trees can be<br />
mulched up and used to feed<br />
plants<br />
There are about 15,000<br />
Christmas tree growers in<br />
the U.S. and over 100,000<br />
people employed full or parttime<br />
in the industry<br />
Support our nation’s farmers!<br />
If people didn’t buy cut<br />
trees farmers wouldn’t plant<br />
them.<br />
It’s easier than ever to<br />
have a real Christmas<br />
tree - no hassle!<br />
When you are done with<br />
your tree you can recycle it.<br />
Most cities have programs<br />
to pick up your holiday tree<br />
and grind it into mulch.<br />
It’s Christmas. Keep It<br />
Real has partnered with<br />
Handy to offer seamless<br />
Christmas tree delivery and<br />
set up in major cities across<br />
the U.S. including: Chicago,<br />
LA, San Francisco, Boston,<br />
New York and Austin.<br />

Holiday<br />
Our Christmas perspective<br />
changes throughout life<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> High students<br />
learn common cents<br />
By Glenn Mollette<br />
I was saddened when I saw the<br />
report of a group of little children<br />
hiding in a basement in Aleppo,<br />
Syria. Sadly this is where most of<br />
Aleppo’s remaining children are<br />
located. They are holding on to<br />
life, hopefully another day.<br />
Many of us grew up loving<br />
the Santa Claus story and honestly<br />
I’m still holding on just<br />
a little bit. I don’t have a big<br />
list for him. However, most of<br />
what I’m hoping for is really<br />
out of Santa’s league.<br />
Santa Claus is good for fun<br />
and games. I asked Santa for<br />
some games when I was a kid<br />
and received a Password game<br />
and a game called Mystic<br />
Skull. Those were fun games.<br />
I also asked Santa for a plastic<br />
bowling ball set. I got up on<br />
Christmas morning very early<br />
and it wasn’t under the tree. My<br />
mother went to the hall closet<br />
and pulled out this big box and<br />
said, “Santa told me to put it in<br />
here until you got up from bed.”<br />
I accepted that story as only a<br />
six or seven year old would do.”<br />
Christmas lists change with<br />
age. What I hoped for at five<br />
became very different as the<br />
years passed. I had wish lists<br />
pertaining to career, children<br />
and other aspirations. Today<br />
I’m so very happy to simply<br />
enjoy health, trips to the grocery<br />
store and a warm house.<br />
Amazingly what makes me<br />
happy today is far more complicated<br />
than when I was preparing<br />
my toy lists for Santa.<br />
I once asked for a $29 white<br />
electric guitar for Christmas.<br />
My hard working, coal-mining<br />
daddy and mom were able to<br />
buy that for me. I was so happy.<br />
It seemed like I had just gotten<br />
everything in the world for<br />
Christmas. A few days later<br />
one of my relatives was visiting<br />
our home and he was admiring<br />
my white electric guitar. He<br />
didn’t make a lot of money but<br />
admired my gift and later commented<br />
that it was hard to buy<br />
many Christmas gifts on $20 a<br />
week. I felt a little bad about my<br />
beautiful guitar and sad for him.<br />
This was back in the day when<br />
decent money was $125 a week.<br />
Looking back I can now see<br />
more clearly that his perspective<br />
was that of a struggling adult.<br />
I enjoyed that feel of being a<br />
little child. I didn’t worry about<br />
healthcare. I didn’t worry about<br />
having food to eat or paying the<br />
bills. I didn’t worry about sickness<br />
or life’s longevity. I was<br />
free to enjoy the child’s perspective<br />
of Christmas. Today as<br />
adults we are hammered with the<br />
harsh realities of life. We deal<br />
with the daily grind of life that<br />
includes all the pains of having<br />
enough money and enough<br />
health to enjoy Christmas. We<br />
have other family members we<br />
agonize with and relate to in<br />
their struggles.<br />
We also have national concerns.<br />
We are blessed in America<br />
where so much of what we enjoy<br />
is almost a miracle every day.<br />
With all that we see and hear<br />
about in Syria and so many other<br />
troubled places in the world<br />
surely to just sleep and live in<br />
peace has to mean everything to<br />
all of us. I think this is something<br />
we grow into in America. The<br />
news tonight about little children<br />
hiding in a basement in Aleppo<br />
fearing for their lives was heartbreaking.<br />
They hold onto hope<br />
of their lives being spared and<br />
maybe a better day. However, a<br />
night of peace and rest is almost<br />
inconceivable to them.<br />
Whatever you have this<br />
Christmas, cherish and respect<br />
it. Thank God for everything<br />
you have. The perspective of<br />
everything we have changes<br />
throughout life from a fiveyear-old<br />
child to someone barely<br />
holding on to life in a nursing<br />
home or a family huddled together<br />
in a basement in Aleppo.<br />

MEASURING GLUCOSE LEVELS<br />
Researchers are currently striving to develop needle-free glucose meters that<br />
work by testing the urine, implanting sensors under the skin, or even using<br />
“smart” contact lenses that are designed to measure glucose levels in tears.<br />
However, until these advanced meters and sensors are developed, diabetes<br />
patients will have to rely on current models that use a drop of the patient’s<br />
blood. Fortunately, the good news to report is that some of the newer glucose<br />
monitors require less blood, and many now include an option to take samples<br />
from other areas of the body (such as the forearm) that are less sensitive to<br />
needle pricks. However, readings from these alternative areas may not be as<br />
accurate after eating.<br />
Blood glucose meters are smaller, faster, and come with more features than<br />
ever before. They're also more accurate than blood glucose meters of years<br />
past. For more information, please call VILLAGE PHARMACY at 781-334-3133.<br />
It’s never too late to become an informed consumer about your health. We are<br />

Letter to the editor<br />
Dear Editor:<br />
I am writing in response to<br />
the Dec. 8 letter by John Ciampa.<br />
I am neither strongly<br />
for, nor strongly against the<br />
rail trail. However, I am compelled<br />
to rebut his assertion<br />
that “there are no unusual<br />
traffic delays caused by MarketStreet.”<br />
How then does<br />
he explain the plethora of<br />
new traffic signs on our side<br />
streets, the addition of two<br />
new traffic signals and the<br />
immediate hiring of several<br />
out of town police officers?<br />
The latter was done specifically<br />
for traffic enforcement,<br />
and with the expediency requested<br />
by neighbors at the<br />
expense of training young<br />
men from our town for these<br />
positions. Mr. Ciampa must<br />
have missed those meetings.<br />
Finally, he should drive<br />
south on 128 from Route 1<br />
this Sunday afternoon and<br />
see how far back the line goes<br />
for the Walnut Street exit.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Richard Hockney<br />

Two-year-old Juniper was found in a car engine in Florida. She had sustained burns on her belly and<br />
went right to the vet’s office for surgery. Once she was healthy enough she traveled to the Northeast<br />
Animal Shelter to find a loving home. When she arrived, it was noted that she has a wound and when<br />
no one was able to say what it was, she went into a four-month quarantine. Now this sweet long hair gal<br />
is ready to meet you! She has been spayed and is up to date with vaccines. Juniper loves to be around<br />
her people. She will sit with them and loves to chat. She also enjoys following her people around and<br />
paws at them gently for attention. She loves to climb on a cat tree and is okay with being picked up. She<br />
does seem to like other cats, but she definitely does not like dogs. If you would like to meet Juniper to<br />
potentially adopt her, please visit her at the Northeast Animal Shelter located in Salem. Visiting hours<br />
are Monday-Friday 10-8 and weekends 10-6. You can also view all available cats and dogs on their<br />
website @ www.neas.org.<br />

Om for the holidays<br />
You may consider it a holiday<br />
or a holy day but either<br />
way we seem to get whacked<br />
with some stress in <strong>December</strong>.<br />
It is during the rush of<br />
the holiday season that we<br />
often forget to give that one<br />
gift for the one that is most<br />
important-yourself. I suggest<br />
that you grab a moment<br />
alone and simply breathe.<br />
Breathe in the joy and out the<br />
stress. Remember that it is a<br />
gift to be with the ones that<br />
you love and you need to just<br />
Om!! Here are a few breathing<br />
tips for all ages, since the<br />
holiday season brings out the<br />
child in us all.<br />
You’ve been breathing your<br />
whole life and never really<br />
thought about it right? Well,<br />
you can choose to breathe for<br />
energy or breathe for calm.<br />
During my kids yoga classes<br />
we call energy breathing<br />
the bunny breath-you simply<br />
sniff in five times quickly<br />
then out slowly. You can complete<br />
about five rounds and<br />
suddenly you feel energized<br />
and alert. For a more calming<br />
breathe we call it bee breath.<br />
I have them simply close<br />
their lips loosely and hum or<br />
buzz like a bee and suddenly<br />
a sense of calm. Hint-it works<br />
for big yogis too. But below is<br />
something interesting I read<br />
KIDS YOGA<br />
Have a story to share?<br />
Need a question answered?<br />
contactus@essexmedia.group<br />
in Yoga Journal and decided<br />
to share it for adults.<br />
Breathe for more energy<br />
When you’re fighting sluggishness<br />
or need to feel alert,<br />
inhale through the nose<br />
instead of the mouth. And<br />
breathing through the right<br />
nostril stimulates blood and<br />
oxygen flow to the left side of<br />
the brain, which can awaken<br />
the brain’s verbal and critical-thinking<br />
centers, says<br />
Fiona Gupta, MD, a neurologist<br />
at the Movement Disorders<br />
Center of Hackensack<br />
University Medical Center.<br />
Breathe for more calm<br />
Breathing through your<br />
left nostril can slow your<br />
heart rate and lower your<br />
blood pressure. Repeat the<br />
instructions for “More Energy;”<br />
breathing, but do it<br />
on the opposite side (close<br />
your right nostril; breathe<br />
through your left).<br />

Pioneer icemen cruise to third straight<br />
By Anne Marie Tobin<br />
PEABODY — The <strong>Lynnfield</strong> High boys<br />
hockey team cruised to its third straight win<br />
last Saturday with a 7-1 rout over visiting<br />
Hamilton-Wenham at McVann-O’Keefe<br />
Memorial Rink.<br />
The win improved the Pioneers to 3-0,<br />
which is the best start in the past five seasons<br />
under head coach Jon Gardner.<br />
Garder attributed the success to a change in<br />
the team’s preseason routine that increased the<br />
time the team spent scrimmaging and less time<br />
spent on drills and practice.<br />
“We usually have had slow starts and<br />
<strong>December</strong> has been cruel to us, but this year<br />
we changed our preseason and it seems to<br />
have paid off,” Gardner said. “We had more<br />
scrimmages with two in the first week against<br />
Medfield and Coyle Cassidy and two more<br />
against Fenwick and Danvers and also had and<br />
inter program scrimmage on the third night of<br />
tryouts. It comes down to fewer practices and<br />
more actual play time, but we still have a lot<br />
more work to do.”<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> dominated possession and kept<br />
the puck in the offensive zone throughout<br />
nearly the entire game against the Generals,<br />
who are in their first year as a varsity squad.<br />
“It’s tough, especially because we were<br />
hurting with injuries to four players who are<br />
key to the team,” Hamilton-Wenham coach<br />
Rob Ryan said. “Overall I was proud of our<br />
effort considering we had a very short bench,<br />
as they gave it everything they had. We are<br />
very young and have no seniors and a lot of<br />
players whose only experience has been at the<br />
JV level, so we have a lot of do to prepare them<br />
for the future.”<br />
The Generals hung tough for the first two<br />
periods, trailing 2-1 after the first period and<br />
4-1 after two periods, thanks to the efforts of<br />
freshman goalie Finn Brophy, who withstood<br />
a relentless Pioneer barrage throughout.<br />
“I don’t know how many shots he faced,<br />
but there were <strong>22</strong> in the middle period alone,<br />
so I would not be surprised if there were 45<br />
or more,” Ryan said. “It was a one-goal game<br />
after one period and then still only 4-1 after the<br />
second, but they wore us down. Missing that<br />
many players really hurt us down the stretch.<br />
We started taking too many penalties, and<br />
that’s when they put the game away.”<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> broke the game open midway<br />
through the final period when senior forwards<br />
Boys basketball opens season on a high note<br />
By Matt Fraser<br />
WEST NEWBURY — The <strong>Lynnfield</strong> boys’ basketball<br />
team opened its season on a high note Friday evening, defeating<br />
host Pentucket, 64-53, with the kind of effort that left<br />
coach Scott MacKenzie and the Pioneers cautiously optimistic<br />
and thirsting for more.<br />
A spread out offensive effort, featuring a trio of double-digit<br />
scorers in senior captains Mike Carangelo (16 points) and<br />
Louis Ellis (13 points) along with junior point guard Billy<br />
Arseneault (12 points) coupled with a Jekyll and Hyde showing<br />
on the defensive end was enough for the visitors, which twice<br />
yielded less than 10 points in a period. <strong>Lynnfield</strong>, however,<br />
was outscored in both the second and fourth quarters.<br />
“I was thrilled with our effort early on,” said MacKenzie<br />
of his team’s hard work around its own basket, alluding to a<br />
span of 4:35 in which the Sachems were held scoreless. The<br />
Pioneers took their first lead, one that they wouldn’t relinquish,<br />
at the 2:57 mark of the opening quarter when Arseneault<br />
capped off an old-fashioned three-point play with a made free<br />
throw to make it 7-6.<br />
From there, the Pioneers built a 10-point lead starting with<br />
three-point plays from Ellis and Carangelo, the latter of the<br />
and-one variety. Arseneault made a free throw six seconds into<br />

<strong>Lynnfield</strong> goalie Joe Breslow makes a save against Hamilton-Wenham with defenseman Jaret Simpson (4) looking on.<br />
Ryan Freitas and Christian D’Agostino scored<br />
two goals within an eight-second span. Senior<br />
Joe Breslow, in his first varsity start, and sophomore<br />
Aidan Kelly split the win in goal.<br />
“It would have been nice to get the shutout<br />
for Joe and Aidan but considering the only<br />
goal they got came on a 5-on-3 penalty, I’ll<br />
take it,” coach Jon Gardner said. “I felt badly<br />
for Joe because we had a chance to clear the<br />
puck out of the zone and kill off the penalties,<br />
but we hit it over the glass and then they<br />
scored, Joe and Aidan are very good goalies<br />
and they both played well today.”<br />
Junior assistant captain Joey Mack opened<br />
the scoring with an unassisted goal at the 8:18<br />
mark in the first period. With the Generals’<br />
Day in the penalty box for boarding, Johnny<br />
Percoskie needed just 11 seconds to cash in on<br />
the power play to double the Pioneer lead to<br />
2-0. Mack and junior captain Cooper Marengi<br />
picked up assists on the play.<br />
With just under three minutes to play, Junior<br />
Tyler Murphy and D’Agostino were flagged<br />
for tripping and roughing, respectively,<br />
within a 14-second span, giving the Generals<br />
a 5-on-3 power play. After <strong>Lynnfield</strong> failed<br />
to clear the puck out of the zone, Hamilton-<br />
Wenham won the ensuing faceoff. Aidan Day<br />
swooped in alone in the slot and scored to cut<br />
the Pioneers’ lead to 2-1 with 1:31 to play in<br />
the period.<br />
Freshman forward John Simonetti made<br />
it 3-1 49 seconds into the second period.<br />
Marengi blasted a shot off a faceoff that deflected<br />
off the side of the net to Murphy, who<br />
pushed the puck back to Simonetti creeping in<br />
from the left slot.<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> scored again on a power play to<br />
make it 4-1 at the 7:57 mark of the second<br />
period. Sophomore forward Chris Flannery<br />
won a faceoff in the offensive zone and played<br />
the puck back to senior forward Jeff Olsen.<br />
Brophy made the save on Olsen’s shot, but<br />
the puck rebounded back to freshman Danny<br />
Mack, who tucked it past Brophy. Flannery<br />
and Olsen were credited with assists.<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> survived some anxious seconds<br />
near the end of the period. The Generals took<br />
advantage of a turnover in the neutral zone and<br />
had a three-on-two. Kelly, who had relieved<br />
Breslow midway through the period, made a<br />
glove save, then <strong>Lynnfield</strong> safely cleared the<br />
puck out of the defensive zone after winning<br />
the faceoff.<br />
The Pioneers kept up the pressure in the<br />
third period, but Brophy held them at bay until<br />
Freitas slipped in from the left faceoff circle<br />
and beat Brophy with a shot just under the<br />
crossbar on the far post from a tough angle<br />
at the 8:40 mark. Kyle Nekoroski and Tom<br />
the second quarter before Pentucket’s Jimmy Cleary (gamehigh<br />
20 points) ended the 12-0 run with a triple, the first of<br />
three Pentucket would bury in the period.<br />
Cleary’s hot-hand proved contagious, as the Sachems<br />
poured in a half dozen treys including those from Sam Stys,<br />
Gus Flaherty and Conor O’Neil (11 points) to cut <strong>Lynnfield</strong>’s<br />
halftime lead to just five, at 31-26.<br />
“I’ll tell you what, our defensive execution in the second<br />
quarter was atrocious,” MacKenzie lamented. “We stopped<br />
communicating. It was very disappointing, allowing them to<br />
go into the locker room with all of the momentum. Quite honestly,<br />
I didn’t think it had to be that way.”<br />
The surge would be short-lived for the hosts who, like so<br />
many teams last season, were met by a nearly un-impenetrable<br />
Pioneers’ second half defense, which surrendered just nine<br />
points in the third period.<br />
“We laid into our guys a little bit during the break and to their<br />
credit, they came out and responded,” said Mackenzie, who is<br />
already looking forward to the next meeting with Pentucket on<br />
January 31. “They’re only going to get better. When we see<br />
them again, they’ll be much more poised.”<br />
Offensively, Arseneault and Ellis scored four points apiece<br />
in the quarter, pushing the lead to 13 (48-35). Arseneault<br />
Powers picked up assists.<br />
D’Agostino won the ensuing faceoff and<br />
played the puck to Powers. He slipped it<br />
wide to Nekoroski, who found D’Agostino<br />
swooping in. D’Agostino blasted a slap shot<br />
past Brophy at the 8:32 mark to put the game<br />
out of reach at 6-1.<br />
Zack Rothwell capped the scoring with a<br />
power play goal (from Simonetti and Robbie<br />
Fucillo) with 1:51 to play.<br />
Cooper Marengi, Kyle Nekoroski and Tom<br />
Powers finished with two assists each, while<br />
Joey Mack also had two points on a goal and<br />
an assist.<br />
“We knew they (Hamilton-Wenham) was<br />
down with some injuries, but overall I thought<br />
we played pretty well,” Gardner said. “We<br />
had a couple of penalties early that hurt, but<br />
we avoided the knucklehead penalties the rest<br />
of the game for the most part. I thought Matt<br />
Collins played a very good game and Joey<br />
Mack was solid in all three zones. He (Mack)<br />
logged a lot of minutes and will continue to do<br />
so. The only thing I could say we could have<br />
done better was we maybe weren’t as patient<br />
looking for that extra pass. Other than that, I<br />
was pleased with the overall effort.”<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong>’s next game is Monday against<br />
Medford at the Kasabuski Christmas Classic<br />
in Saugus at 4 p.m.<br />
shined in his role as playmaker with a dazzling display of assists<br />
throughout the contest;<br />
“(Arseneault) had exactly the kind of game we thought he<br />
would,” said MacKenzie. “He is incredibly difficult to handle<br />
1-on-1, as he is very strong and poised with the ball in his<br />
hands. Tonight, he did a great job getting his teammates involved<br />
and feeling good about themselves.”<br />
Arseneault and Ellis, this time along with Carangelo,<br />
again scored four points each in the final period to offset the<br />
work of Cleary who made two more three-pointers, earning<br />
Mackenzie’s praise.<br />
“He was making a lot of tough shots so he deserves as much<br />
credit. Even when he’s missing shots, he continues to shoot it.<br />
(Senior) Matt Seelig did a great job playing his role, coming<br />
off the bench and harassing (Cleary) into a few fouls which got<br />
him off the court and helped us regain our confidence.”<br />
Zachary Shone scored seven points for the Pioneers, who got<br />
four points apiece from juniors Dan Jameson, Matt Mortellite<br />
and Seelig as well senior Bryant Dana.<br />
“I was happy to be on the road to open the season, said<br />
MacKenzie. “We were able to see how our guys react to the<br />
environment, see if they’d demonstrate a little backbone and<br />
they did just that.”

Despite being shutout on<br />
Saturday afternoon, a 2-0 loss to<br />
Winthrop/Lynn/Saugus at Larsen<br />
Rink, second-year head coach<br />
Michelle Roach is confident that<br />
wins are coming.<br />
“Certainly, we’re disappointed<br />
with the loss but at the same time,<br />
we’re seeing plenty of progression,”<br />
she said. “It’s not an easy,<br />
early season schedule for us, with<br />
Melrose (2-1) and Masconomet<br />
(4-1) before today, but where<br />
we are at right now compared to<br />
where we were last year, it’s almost<br />
like a different team.”<br />
Peabody/<strong>Lynnfield</strong>’s three-zone<br />
effort on Saturday was a testament<br />
to that belief, particularly in the<br />
defensive zone, where freshman<br />
goaltender Jenny Collins of North<br />
Reading shined in her first varsity<br />
start with 32 saves.<br />
“I was very happy with what I<br />
saw out of her today,” said Roach<br />
of Collins, who took over in in net<br />
after sophomore Abby Buckley<br />
(of <strong>Lynnfield</strong>) played the previous<br />
two games. “In terms of<br />
style, (Collins) is a bit more of<br />
an aggressor, which allowed for<br />
some big saves. I’m looking forward<br />
to seeing more of her.”<br />
Bulldawgs’ coach Anthony<br />
Martucci, whose line-up features<br />
one of the premier net-minders in<br />
the conference, if not the state, in<br />
senior stalwart Gretchen Howard,<br />
echoed Roach’s praises.<br />

Aylward (10) helping out.<br />
“For her to see and stop that<br />
many pucks in her first start, and<br />
with such poise, is pretty impressive.<br />
(Roach) seems to have<br />
a stable of strong goalies over<br />
there. Maybe she can lend us one<br />
next season?”<br />
Special teams play proved the<br />
difference in terms of scoring<br />
as Winthrop’s ever-dangerous<br />
power play unit, scored twice in<br />
a span of just 1:16.<br />
The Tanners were whistled<br />
for a pair of infractions, the<br />
latter with 28 seconds left in the<br />
first period, giving Winthrop a<br />
two-man advantage.<br />
Winthrop needed just five seconds<br />
to capitalize.<br />
Kelsie Griffiths found her way<br />
to the left post off of a faceoff win<br />
from Mia Price before tipping<br />
in a perfectly placed pass from<br />
Sydney Adamson.<br />
With a clean sheet of ice to<br />
work with, the Winthrop, still<br />
on the power play, doubled the<br />
lead 53 seconds into the second<br />
as Price found the back of the<br />
net, with help from Griffiths and<br />
Bella Perrotti.<br />
“They’re a strong team and you<br />
can’t keep going into the penalty<br />
box and hope to win,” said<br />
Roach, whose own power play<br />
finished 0-3.<br />
It wasn’t until the 2:50 mark<br />
of the middle frame, when senior<br />
captain and defenseman Caroline<br />
Buckley of <strong>Lynnfield</strong> landed just<br />
the third shot on net, that Peabody/<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> started to show some<br />
life offensively. Shortly thereafter,<br />
North Reading sisters<br />
Sammy and Cassie Mirasolo got<br />
in on the action with a couple of<br />
scoring chances before the end of<br />
the period.<br />
A shift in momentum was apparent<br />
in the finale where, after<br />
being outshot 15-5 through<br />
two periods, the Tanners doubled<br />
their total by the 11:02 mark,<br />
including a pair of bids from<br />
Jammie Mirasolo, who elected to<br />
fire on consecutive 2-on-1 rushes.<br />
A blazing rush down the left<br />
wing before a cut to the middle<br />
from Buckley led to a shot at<br />
4:35 before Howard came up<br />
with a pair of 10-bell saves from<br />
the seat of her pants at 1:34 on<br />

Peabody/<strong>Lynnfield</strong> finished<br />
with 14 shots in total.<br />
“We tend to be a bit too passive<br />
in the offensive zone which has<br />
lead to us not being able to find<br />
the back of the net,” said Roach<br />
of the Tanners’ scoring deficiencies.<br />
“We’re engaged in all of<br />

Stead wins gold at Lisitano tournament<br />
By Anne Marie Tobin<br />
WAKEFIELD — <strong>Lynnfield</strong>-<br />
North Reading wrestling team senior<br />
captain Connor Stead picked<br />
up the first major tournament win<br />
of his career Saturday at the annual<br />
Lisitano Memorial Wrestling<br />
tournament at Wakefield High.<br />
Stead upended top-seeded Ryan<br />
Smith of Wakefield in the final,<br />
pinning Smith in 5:24. Stead, who<br />
finished sixth in the 138-pound<br />
division last year, was one of<br />
seven Black and Gold wrestlers<br />
who placed in the meet, three of<br />
whom were freshmen.<br />
Stuart Glover led the freshmen<br />
trio with a fourth place finish<br />
at 106 pounds, while Timothy<br />
Leggett (120) and Sean<br />
McCullough (160) finished fifth.<br />
“We haven’t had a freshman<br />
place in this meet since 2001,<br />
so to have three place today was<br />
quite impressive,” LNR coach<br />
Craig Stone said. “Stuart wrestled<br />
in the youth program and<br />
obviously as the younger brother<br />
of Will, that also helps. Timothy<br />
came to us with judo experience<br />
and also had a brother in the program,<br />
Devin, who wrestled last<br />
year and finished eighth in the<br />
state. And Sean also comes to us<br />
with experience from the youth<br />
program.”<br />
Anthony Wilkinson (182,<br />
4th) and Kevin Farrelly (195,<br />
6th) were first-time placewinners,<br />
Glover’s older brother Will<br />
Glover (126, 4th) also placed.<br />
LNR finished seventh out of 17<br />
teams from all three divisions.<br />
Stead breezed through the first<br />
two rounds with pin wins. He defeated<br />
Saugus’s Joe Alva in 5:29,<br />
then needed only 1:32 to beat<br />
Alvaro Mendoza of Lexington in<br />
the second round. In the semifinals<br />
against Methuen’s Christian<br />
Rosado, the only points in the<br />
match came on a takedown by<br />
Stead 15 seconds into the match.<br />
Stead held on to win, 2-0 to advance<br />
to the final against Smith.<br />
Stead jumped out to a 6-0 lead,<br />
and went for the jugular in the<br />
third period.<br />
“I was confident he wasn’t<br />
going to be able to pin me, so I<br />
went to my back to get the pin,”<br />
Stead said. “My plan was to push<br />

Wakefield High.<br />
the pace early and get ahead, then<br />
was able to break him down. He<br />
got that big throw, but I kept<br />
pushing and that’s when I went to<br />
the back and kept grinding.”<br />
Stuart Glover (2-2) got a tough<br />
draw and had to face off against<br />
eventual champion Ian Forgitano<br />
of Georgetown/Ispwich right off<br />
the bat in the first round. While<br />
Forgitano advanced with a pin<br />
in 3:10, Glover battled his way<br />
through the losers’ bracket with<br />
wins over Lexington’s Oliver<br />
Helper (:59), Malden Catholic’s<br />
Logan Prousaisi (pin) and Shaikh<br />
Prolay of Arlington (7-1) before<br />
coming up short in the third<br />
place bout to Methuen’s Jarmany<br />
Colon, 7-1.<br />
After a first round bye, Leggett<br />
(2-2) pinned Aidan Armstrong<br />
of Wakefield to advance to the<br />
semifinals, where he was pinned<br />
by eventual champion Andy<br />
Richard of Lincoln-Sudbury. He<br />
lost a heartbreaker in the consolation<br />
semifinals to Joe Gbedema<br />
in overtime. Leggett led 9-7<br />
with less than a minute left, but<br />
Gbedema tied it with a reversal<br />
to send the match into overtime<br />
where Gbedema won it with a<br />
takedown with 27 seconds left.<br />
Leggett rebounded with a pin win<br />
(2:09) against Arlington’s Taisei<br />
Akatsu to end up fifth.<br />
Will Glover (2-2) had a first<br />
round bye, then pinned Ethan<br />
Fong of Lexington to advance to<br />
the semifinals where he lost a 13-2<br />
major decision to Watertown’s<br />
Sammy Leitner. He pinned Louis<br />
Torres of Georgetown/Ipswich<br />
(GI) in 4:51 to advance to the<br />
third place match, but came up<br />
short and placed fourth. Glover<br />
missed last year’s tournament<br />
with a concussion.<br />
McCullough (3-2) breezed<br />
through the first two rounds with<br />
pins over Wakefield’s Ben Piercy<br />
and Pentucket’s Jason Young,<br />
then was relegated to the consolation<br />
bracket by Christian<br />
Hernandez of GI, in the semifinals,<br />
who advanced to the final<br />
with a win by pin. McCullough<br />
lost 8-5 to Kyle Williams of<br />
Lincoln-Sudbury in the consolations<br />
semis, then rebounded with<br />
Happy Holidays LPW_SA_LA.ai 1 12/5/<strong>2016</strong> 12:18:29 PM<br />
an 8-6 win over Jack Scialoia of<br />
Catholic Memorial to take fifth<br />
place.<br />
Wilkinson had a very long<br />
day, and that’s something when<br />
it comes to wrestling tournaments<br />
that can last 11 or more<br />
hours. After a first round bye,<br />
he lost to Pentucket’s Kalon<br />
Boston 15-0, then won a 4-0<br />
decision over Reading’s David<br />
Fodero to reach the consolation<br />
semis. He won his next match<br />
by forfeit, then thought he took<br />
third place when he needed only<br />
30 seconds to pin his next opponent.<br />
Unfortunately, tournament<br />
officials made a mistake in the<br />
pairings following Wilkinson’s<br />
default win that wiped out his pin<br />
win and forced him to re-wrestle<br />
the match for third place against<br />
another wrestler.<br />
“They advanced the wrong<br />
wrestler after Wilkinson won by<br />
injury default, so he faced the<br />
wrong wrestler during that 30<br />
second pin,” Stone explained.<br />
“He later faced the correct wrestler<br />
from Greater Lawrence<br />
(Malib Pastrana) and lost, finishing<br />
fourth and not third.”<br />
Farrelly (1-2) had a first<br />
round bye, then advanced to<br />
the semifinals with a pin win<br />
over Watertown’s Tim Tat. He<br />
lost that match to Jon Stix of<br />
Lexington, then lost both consolation<br />
matches in close decisions<br />
to end up sixth.<br />
Joe Reardon (132 pounds)<br />
defeated Watertown’s Sabir<br />
Hussain in an 8-1 decision in the<br />
first round, but was eliminated<br />
with losses in his two consolation<br />
matches.<br />
Tim Goucher (<strong>22</strong>0 pounds)<br />
was relegated to the consolation<br />
bracket with a first round loss<br />
to Jonathan Valdez of Catholic<br />
Memorial. He stayed alive with<br />
a pin win over Armani Dotson of<br />
Marblehead/Swampscott but was<br />
both won matches but was eliminated<br />
in the next round.<br />
On <strong>December</strong> 14, the Black<br />
and Gold hosted Pentucket at<br />
home and came away with a deceptive<br />
50-27 win.<br />
“Only 10 of 14 matches were<br />
wrestled on the mat due to the<br />
fact that Pentucket was unable<br />
to fill four weight classes due to<br />
illness and injury and the teams<br />
split 5-5,” Stone said.<br />
Rossetti, Stead and Wilkinson<br />
picked up their third straight dual<br />
meet wins in as many matches.<br />
Rossetti (145) won his match<br />
by pin in 2:40, while Stead won<br />
a 10-0 major decision at 152<br />
pounds and Wilkinson won at<br />
182 by pin in 1:44.<br />
Stuart Glover wrestled up a<br />
weight class to 113 pounds and<br />
won his match (described by<br />
Stone as “impressive”) by major<br />
decision, 8-0. At 170 pounds,<br />
Andrew DiPietro won by pin in<br />
5:37.<br />
Stuart Metrano (106), Will<br />
Glover (126), Dylan Reardon<br />
(132) and Joe Reardon won by<br />
forfeit.<br />
Anthony Wilkinson seems to have the upper hand on Reading’s David<br />
Fodera during the Lisitano Tournament at Wakefield High last<br />
weekend.

Pioneer girls basketball falls to Pentucket<br />
By Anne Marie Tobin<br />
LYNNFIELD — The only<br />
place to go is up.<br />
That was how second-year<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> High girls basketball<br />
coach Jim Perry chose to look at<br />
the Pioneers’ 52-<strong>22</strong> loss to visiting<br />
Pentucket last Friday night<br />
in the season opener.<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> struggled in all<br />
phases of the game from start<br />
to finish and was overwhelmed<br />
by Pentucket’s full court press,<br />
turning the ball over its first seven<br />
times down the court, which<br />
Pentucket parlayed into a 12-0<br />
lead before <strong>Lynnfield</strong>’s first shot<br />
attempt.<br />
All told, the Pioneers had 20<br />
turnovers (33 total) in the first<br />
half alone, which ended with<br />
Pentucket holding a comfortable<br />
20-point lead at 33-13.<br />
“They played an aggressive and<br />
tough defense and we couldn’t<br />
handle their press,” Perry said.<br />
“We need to be able to handle<br />
the ball through the press, but at<br />
times, we were a little deer in the<br />

headlights, at times we simply<br />
were out of position or when we<br />
were in position, we moved the<br />
wrong way and didn’t flash in to<br />
give the point some help to break<br />
the press and move the ball down<br />
court.”<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> sat on a zone defense<br />
the entire game against the faster,<br />
quicker and vastly more experienced<br />
Sachems, who went on a<br />
three-point feeding frenzy.<br />
Pentucket spread the scoring<br />
wealth with 10 different players<br />
scoring points, seven of whom hit<br />
threes.<br />
“I don’t know what it is about<br />
this league, but I’ve never seen<br />
more girls take and make threepoint<br />
shots like tonight,” said<br />
Perry.<br />
“We tried to slow them down<br />
with zone pressure, but they hit<br />
they were able to stretch the defense<br />
and get the open looks and<br />
hit their shots”<br />
Perry said he knew it was going<br />
to be a catch-<strong>22</strong> of sorts in terms<br />
of the Pioneer defensive scheme.<br />
“They are a very strong, skilled<br />
www.supinoinsurance.com<br />
and fast team and at this point<br />
with such a young and inexperienced<br />
team, we knew we couldn’t<br />
keep up if went man with them.<br />
As it was, even with the zone, we<br />
were huffing, puffing and getting<br />
beaten to the few loose balls<br />
we have chances. The turnovers<br />
were bad enough; when we made<br />
them, they capitalized, but our rebounding<br />
was disappointing. We<br />
got man-handled on the boards<br />
and they had too many second,<br />
third and fourth chances.”<br />
Pentucket jumped out to a 16-0<br />
lead before junior captain and<br />
point guard Juliana Passatempo<br />
broke the ice with a three as the<br />
shot clock was expiring with<br />
about a minute to play in the<br />
first quarter. After <strong>Lynnfield</strong>’s<br />
11th turnover of the quarter,<br />
the Sachems’ Angelica Hurley,<br />
a freshman, countered with a<br />
bucket to give Pentucket an 18-2<br />
lead after the opening quarter.<br />
The Pioneers’ offense picked<br />
up in the second quarter. While<br />
they made only four hoops,<br />
three of them were threes.<br />
Unfortunately, Pentucket made<br />
four threes of its own (one an<br />
old-fashioned and-one) to take a<br />
33-13 lead into halftime.<br />
In the third quarter, both teams<br />
struggled to score and combined<br />
for only 10 points - all by<br />
Pentucket. The good news, however,<br />
was the Pioneers made the<br />
Sachems work for them. After<br />
an offensive rebound by Alyssa<br />
Demeule in the opening seconds<br />
of the quarter, the Pioneers dug<br />
in and held Pentucket scoreless<br />
for the next six minutes, before<br />
the Sachems barely beat the shot<br />
clock with a pair of threes by<br />
Anglelina Yacubacci and Hurley<br />
with under a minute to go.<br />
“That was a better defensive<br />
effort than in the first half,” Perry<br />
said. “They hit a couple of shots<br />
at the buzzer, but we hurt ourselves<br />
the rest of the way with<br />
fouls deep in their possessions<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong>’s Juliana Passatempo tries to drive past Casey Hunt of Pentucket.<br />
that basically gave them some<br />
freebies. That group that was out<br />
there was so aggressive, so that is<br />
something we have to take away<br />
with us moving forward.”<br />
The group referred to by Perry<br />
included freshman Victoria<br />
Morelli, junior Emory Caswell,<br />
junior Hannah Filipe, who<br />
sparked the defense coming in<br />
off the bench, as well as junior<br />
captain Juliana Passatempo, who<br />
scored a game-high 11 points, and<br />
junior captain Lizzie Shaievitz (7<br />
points).<br />
Only two other Pioneers<br />
scored points; junior forward<br />
MacKenzie O’Neil and sophomore<br />
guard Emily Dickey had<br />
one bucket each.<br />
“This team doesn’t have a lot of<br />
scorers, so I think some of them<br />
were pressing too much, trying to<br />
do too much,” Perry said. “You<br />
could also see our conditioning<br />
was an issue in this game. “They<br />
wore us down, and that’s when<br />
you saw all those fouls. We need<br />
to work on getting in better shape,<br />
or this is going to be a problem<br />
all year.<br />
“We are in the Cape Ann<br />
League Large division, so we<br />
have to play the big teams twice.<br />
Pentucket is just one of a long<br />
list of schools who are all dying<br />
to play us, so we have a lot of<br />
work to do, especially in terms of<br />
building confidence and endurance<br />
along with about 16 other<br />
things. We are extremely young<br />
and we have some athletes that<br />
may not be of the AAU type in<br />
terms of basketball IQ, but we<br />
have a lot of games left and the<br />
only way to go is up.”

A real carnival for Pioneer track teams<br />
By Anne Marie Tobin<br />
Christmas came early for the <strong>Lynnfield</strong> girls and boys<br />
track teams last Sunday at the annual Massachusetts State<br />
Track Coaches Association small schools Winter Festival<br />
held at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center.<br />
The Pioneers won two individual events and placed<br />
third in another. Junior Davide Pittilini won the 55-meter<br />
hurdles in a personal best 7.90, while, on the girls side,<br />
junior Kate Mitchell posted her fastest time in the last two<br />
years and won the 1,000 in 3:04.00.<br />
Mitchell trailed second place finisher Katie Bradley<br />
(3:07.55) of Norton for much of the race but turned on the<br />
jets over the last lap and left Bradley in the dust.<br />
“Kate got caught in a pack her first lap so had to make<br />
up the distance,” girls team coach Liane Cook said. “But<br />
she found a good spot to settle for the next few laps and<br />
then kicked it home the whole last lap”<br />
Pittilini and Mike Monahan of Tewksbury turned in the<br />
lowest time in the preliminary heats (8.14).<br />
Junior Nick Kinnon placed third in the 55-meter dash<br />
with a personal best 6.71.<br />
Kinnon was third in the preliminary heats with a time<br />
of 6.84 behind Nikolas Smith of Northampton (6.61) and<br />
Oakmont’s John Caouette (6.75), who won the final in<br />
6.67.<br />
Juniors Matt Ricciardi, Ryan Iapicca and Nathan<br />
Drislane set PRs and cracked the top-20 in their respective<br />
events. Ricciardi knocked nearly eight seconds of his PR<br />
and finished 11th in the 1,000 in 2:50.19 while Drislane<br />
beat his PR by more than five inches and finished 16th in<br />
the shot put (36-11.25). Drislane also finished 66th in the<br />
55 dash in 7.51.<br />
Iapicca finished 18th in the mile (4:50.60), knocking<br />
nearly nine seconds off his previous best.<br />
Sophomore Jack Campbell lowered his PR by more than<br />
two seconds and finished 30th in the 1,000.<br />
Arlex Correa Ramirez knocked 10 seconds off his PR<br />
and finished 34th in the mile in 5:02.70.<br />
Junior Christian Speicher finished 34th in the long jump<br />
with a leap of 15-07.50.<br />
Other Pioneer competitors were senior Nick Contardo<br />
(30-07.25) and junior Kenneth Babine (30-03.50), who<br />
finished 60th and 63rd, respectively in the shot put; Junior<br />
Anthony Floramo, 55 (78th, 7.65); and junior Peter Look,<br />
300 (86th, 42.28).<br />
“I am thrilled with the outcome of yesterday’s meet,”<br />
boys team coach Christine Smith said. “Our boys performed<br />
so well, with Davide winning hurdles and Nick<br />
placing third in the 55m (in) his first time in the event.<br />
Their hard work is paying off.”<br />
In the girls meet, the Pioneers’ next best finish was<br />
posted by junior Aja Parker, who set a PR (10.42) and finished<br />
<strong>22</strong>nd in the 55-meter hurdles.<br />
Five Pioneers competed in the shot put. Senior Rachel<br />
DiTullio led the throw team with a 40th place finish (24-<br />
03.25). Senior Abbie Dickey (78th, 21-06.50), freshman<br />

Food, just one part of the fun<br />
LEGALS<br />
By Rosalie Harrington<br />
“You probably never get<br />
invited to dinner.”<br />
I hear this often from people<br />
who are usually eating at<br />
our house and have a wave of<br />
fear when they think about reciprocating.<br />
Of course, food is<br />
a good part of getting together,<br />
but just like in a restaurant<br />
the ambience and the chemistry<br />
between you and the others<br />
is also important.<br />
When I think of some of<br />
the dinner parties we have<br />
attended this season, food is<br />
not paramount. I say this just<br />
in case you are feeling intimidated<br />
about having me over!<br />
The dinner party we attended<br />
last Friday is a perfect<br />
example of what makes<br />
a great evening. At a table of<br />
nine at a beautiful country<br />
club, to my right was the host<br />
and to my left was his 14-yearold<br />
daughter, Amanda.<br />
This was the first time<br />
that our host was seated<br />
next to me. I made a point<br />
to sit next to Amanda; she<br />
has a delightful, big personality<br />
stored in a lovely, petite<br />
frame. She remembered<br />
some of our conversation<br />
from the last time we were<br />
together and shared with<br />
me what she has been up to;<br />
she’s a ballerina and a baker,<br />
with friends galore. Her happily<br />
old-fashioned parents<br />
allowed no talking into, texting<br />
or even glancing at her<br />
phone during dinner. When<br />
her dad and I discussed politics<br />
or whatever the subject,<br />
she shared her opinions. She<br />
later sat on his lap and chatted<br />
with him. I envied the<br />
moment because I miss those<br />
times with my kids.<br />
See, so far I’ve said nothing<br />
about food.<br />
On the way to Winchester<br />
Country Club, I remembered<br />
Barbara, an old friend from<br />
East Boston who lives in Winchester.<br />
I wished out loud to<br />
my husband Todd that I could<br />
remember her married name<br />
so that I’d be able to ask about<br />
her. We went to Eastie High<br />
together and we both worked<br />
as dental assistants for Sam<br />
Kane while we were in school.<br />
We were good friends but<br />
lost track when she went to<br />
Boston College and I went<br />
to Tufts. Years later, we met<br />
when we had a bunch of<br />
kids between us and we both<br />
promised to see each other<br />
again, which of course we<br />
didn’t. I have often thought of<br />
her. One memory that stands<br />
out for me is that she had a<br />
beautiful, stay-at-home mom<br />
who was a lovely person. She<br />
came into my restaurant one<br />
evening with a group and,<br />
like many old friends, I was<br />
thrilled to see her.<br />
When we arrived at the<br />
country club, Todd pulled<br />
up to the main entrance so I<br />
could minimize my exposure<br />
to Friday night’s bitter cold.<br />
I walked in, and couldn’t<br />
Rosalie’s zucchini bread<br />
believe it – there she was,<br />
standing right in the foyer!<br />
When Todd came in and saw<br />
how happy I was, he asked if<br />
it was Barbara. “We were just<br />
talking about you,” he said. It<br />
was great fun to catch up and<br />
hear about her 15 grandchildren<br />
- 10 more than me, but<br />
who’s counting? When she<br />
comes back from her winter<br />
in Florida we will get together,<br />
hopefully.<br />
The rest of the evening was<br />
also wonderful, with self-deprecating<br />
humor coming<br />
from every seat, it seemed.<br />
There was a lot of banter<br />
about women shopping and<br />
spending money. There was<br />
post-election conversation;<br />
one of the men got some flak<br />
for a sweatshirt he had worn<br />
that week with a big picture<br />
of president-elect Trump that<br />
said “He won, get over it.”<br />
Over cocktails, the women<br />
talked about how different<br />
the holidays are now that the<br />
kids are “out of the house,” romanticizing<br />
the childrearing<br />
years. None of us reflected on<br />
how much work it was, such<br />
as entertaining on Christmas<br />
Eve. Back in the day, having<br />
20 people for a seven-course<br />
fish dinner wasn’t all fun, especially<br />
when you had to assemble<br />
all the toys before you<br />
went to bed.<br />
It was much easier to be<br />
hosted at a country club for<br />
dinner as we were Friday,<br />
and though we weren’t with<br />
family, it felt like it. The food<br />
was fine. But it wasn’t center<br />
stage.<br />
Back then on the week<br />
before Christmas there were<br />
many packages to wrap and<br />
loads of decorating and preparing<br />
for company to do.<br />
Cookies and breads were<br />
made and put in the freezer to<br />
take the pressure off the few<br />
days before the actual day. I<br />
collected several tins from my<br />
thrift shopping for cookies.<br />
I still like to make small<br />
loaves of breads like zucchini,<br />
banana or olive oil. They<br />
are great with coffee or tea<br />
and they freeze well. They<br />
make nice hostess gifts with<br />
a jar of jam, too.<br />
The smallest Christmas<br />
tree ever with the most ornaments<br />
and blinking white<br />
lights is in my kitchen, where<br />
I spend most of my time. Our<br />
grandsons have gone off to be<br />
with their dad, because it’s<br />
his turn, for 10 days. I totally<br />
begrudge him this time.<br />
We got some good news<br />
that our friends Luke and<br />
Zucchini Bread<br />
James are coming to the<br />
North Shore for Christmas<br />
and want to stay with us. My<br />
ex-husband is house sitting<br />
- and animal sitting - for my<br />
son and his family who flew<br />
out Saturday to a tropical<br />
island where temperatures<br />
are more appropriate for<br />
humans. They will be back<br />
Christmas Eve. Their Gatsby-like<br />
house will not go to<br />
waste, as my ex has invited<br />
us for breakfast there Christmas<br />
Eve morning. I will call<br />
him to tell him that we have<br />
house guests so the count is<br />
now four. He will be happy, as<br />
we are, to share the holiday<br />
with everyone who wants to<br />
be with us.<br />
And it isn’t about the food,<br />
it’s about togetherness.<br />
My mother would turn<br />
over in her grave if she knew<br />
we weren’t having the Vigilia<br />
anymore. But my brother<br />
is having it, so perhaps that<br />
would be enough. Todd and<br />
I will go to his house Christmas<br />
Eve and enjoy his family,<br />
his delicious fish dishes and<br />
be grateful.<br />
Merry Christmas!<br />
Here is my recipe for Zucchini<br />
bread. It will make<br />
two standard loaves or eight<br />
small ones.<br />
— Grease the pans (for standard loaves or ones that accommodate four small loaves),<br />
then butter and flour them.<br />
— Grate three small zucchini, yield is about 3 cups. Set aside.<br />
— In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups of flour, 3 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon<br />
each of salt, cinnamon and ginger. Set aside.<br />
— In a separate bowl, beat together for 3 minutes 2 sticks of melted butter with 1 cup<br />
each of brown and granulated sugars and 4 eggs, one at a time.<br />
— Add 1 tbsp. of vanilla and the grated zucchini; mix until just combined.<br />
— Add the flour mixture and stir, making sure not to over-mix.<br />
— Add 2 to 3 cups of chopped walnuts, stirring just to combine.<br />
— Turn into prepared pans, and bake until a knife comes out clean. The small pans<br />
take much less time than the larger ones.<br />
— Let cool in pans before removing. The loaves will stay fresh for 3 days; or freeze<br />
until needed.<br />
Note: investing in the Teflon-coated baking pans that produce four at a time is well<br />
worth it.<br />
