OH, 

HOLY 

NIGHT 

Despite a snowy start to 

the weekend, a clarinet trio 

turned out to perform at St. 

Paul’s Episcopal Church 

last Saturday evening. 

The classical tribute to 

the holiday season included 

works by Ludwig van 

Beethoven and Johannes 

Brahms. The musicians, 

who were all members 

of North Shore Chamber 

Music, included Scott 

Thomas Lesser on cello, 

William Kirkley on clarinet 

and Kathryn Christensen 

Lieppman on piano. 

Music director Sam 

Nelson said the church 

will host a Christmas pageant 

at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 

24, followed by Christmas 

Eve services at 11 p.m. 

Nelson said that anyone 

who isn’t tired of caroling 

after New Year’s can join 

him in singing scripture 

verses in January. Nelson is 

also looking forward to an 

organ concert he’s planning 

for sometime in the spring.

Experience 

Selectmen serve 

new liquor regulations 

By Leah Dearborn 

The Board of Selectmen approved 

a new set of regulations 

for liquor license holders at a 

meeting on Monday, Dec. 12 and 

appointed three liquor enforcement 

officers. 

“We actually don’t have 

a liquor policy right now. 

Nothing substantial,” said 

Town Administrator James M. 

Boudreau. “This puts them on notice 

of what their behavior is and 

gives penalties.” 

When asked why the town had 

no liquor policy before, Boudreau 

said in an email that because he 

has only worked in town for two 

years, he can’t speak to why 

nothing was in place. 

“My thought would be that the 

town did not have many pouring 

licenses (restaurants) until Market 

Street was constructed,” said 

Boudreau in the email. “Working 

with Chief Breen on the liquor 

enforcement issue, we realized 

that this was something that we 

needed to be put in place.” 

According to information provided 

by Boudreau, nine of the 

$9.99 

12 all-alcohol restaurant licenses 

renewed this year in town were 

located on Market Street. 

Police Chief David J. Breen, 

who was one of the appointed enforcement 

officers, attended the 

meeting and presented the board 

with the proposed regulation 

changes. 

According to the new rules 

and regulations, any infraction 

may be grounds for action by the 

board including the modification, 

suspension, revocation, non-renewal 

or cancellation of a license. 

The guidelines for action 

suggest that a first violation be 

treated with a letter of reprimand 

and/or suspension of the license 

up to three days. Liquor closing 

hours of 11 p.m. for 10 days may 

also be imposed. 

The second violation is penalized 

by suspension of the liquor 

license from three to 10 days and 

liquor closing hours of 11 p.m. 

for 30 days. 

Three violations are cause for 

suspension from 10 to 30 days 

with liquor closing hours of 11 

p.m. to be enforced for 30 days.

www .brucemccorry.com 

A fourth violation results in the 

revocation of the license. 

Breen explained the changes as 

a way of letting license holders 

know what’s at stake. 

The changes included harsher 

penalties for serving a minor, 

with three violations leading to a 

license revocation when the sale 

or service of alcohol to underage 

drinkers is involved. 

Boudreau recalled an establishment 

that had its liquor license 

suspended for two weekends 

during NFL playoff season. 

“It’s a big hurt. That’s how seriously 

this board takes underage 

drinking,” said Boudreau. 

Board member Richard Dalton 

questioned the severity of the 

penalties and asked what would 

happen if a license holder with 

a long history of responsibility 

wound up before the board for an 

infraction. 

“These are guidelines,” said 

Boudreau. “The board still has 

the right to make decisions based 

on individual cases. You maintain 

the discretion to do less or to do 

more.” 

Board votes to bundle 

ambulance rates 


In an attempt to reduce discrepancies 

between insurance and 

town billing, ambulance services 

are switching from an à la carte 

policy to a flat bundled rate after 

a vote by the Board of Selectmen 

on Monday. 

According to information distributed 

by the Fire Department, 

advanced life support, level 1 

(ALS1) will cost $2,150 under 

the new bundled rate as opposed 

to the current rate of $1,500. 

Basic life support will cost 

$1,650. Under the current system, 

basic life support is a charge of 

$1,000 but the cost doesn’t include 

items like oxygen, defibrillation 

and medications, which are 

all extra charges. 

Medicare rates will not go up 

or down. 

Bill Mergendahl, president and 

CEO of Pro EMS Solutions in 

Cambridge was at the meeting to 

review the policy changes. 

“What you have is a legacy 

situation of outdated claims 

and charges,” said Mergendahl. 

“Frankly, this à la carte rate 

doesn’t function well anymore.” 

Mergendahl emphasized the 

importance of developing a flexible 

ambulance policy system that 

never discourages people from 

calling 911. 

Fire Chief Mark W. Tetreault 

explained at a meeting back in 

November that the town provides 

an ambulance services waiver to 

residents who make an income 

below the national poverty line. 

Mergendahl said the town 

should be able to reduce or eliminate 

the bills of patients on the 

the Health Safety Net program 

without fuss because those individuals 

have already been vetted 

by the state. 

Since the state normally 

doesn’t reimburse the town for 

waivers, the town can then write 

off financial hardship cases, said 

Mergendahl. 

“This is not out of the ordinary 

by any stretch,” said Mergendahl 

about the present policy. “You’re 

a little behind the curve on 

switching to bundled billing.” 

Town Administrator James 

Boudreau said that switching to 

Pro EMS as a billing company 

has allowed the town to bill 

faster, code it better and bring in 

returns more quickly. 

“The new rate system will make 

that even better,” Boudreau said.

Lynnfield schools 

hold active 

shooter trainings 

By Adam Swift 

It is one of those scenarios 

parents, students and staff hope 

will never come to pass, but the 

Lynnfield schools are making 

sure they are on the cutting edge 

of active shooter preparations. 

The district’s three-person security 

team updated the board 

at last week’s school committee 

meeting on the new ALICE active 

shooter training program. 

ALICE is an acronym for alert, 

lockdown, inform, counter and 

evacuate. It highlights the steps to 

be taken in case there is a shooter 

at a school or on school property. 

Beginning earlier this year, the 

three-person team of middle school 

Principal Stephen Ralston, School 

Resource Officer Pat Curran, and 

Lynnfield Police Sergeant Al 

Scotina have been meeting with 

staff and town officials to make the 

active shooter response training in 

the district’s four schools. 

“We want to make the students 

and the schools safe,” said police 

Chief David Breen. “It has been 

an enormous task to go into each 

classroom and identify escape 

routes and areas where the students 

can reconvene.” 

Curran said the ALICE training 

is based on many cases and 

studies of critical incidents across 

the country, using timelines, 

methods, and patterns from different 

scenarios. 

“These tools increase survivability 

in the different scenarios,” 

Curran said. 

Training of teachers got underway 

earlier this school year, and 

there is still much work to be done, 

including training and information 

sessions with other school staff, 

students and parents, said Scotina. 

He said the schools and the police 

department are also collaborating 

with the public works department 

to provide additional physical enhancements 

for the classrooms and 

to map out bus routes in the event 

of an active shooter situation. 

Ralston said the informational 

meeting for parents could take 

place some time this spring. 

“I think you are being very proactive 

in handling a situation that 

can be very difficult if it arises,” 

said school committee member 

Richard Sjoberg. 

Sjoberg asked about the reaction 

from teachers about the 

training and program. 

“It has been very well received,” 

Curran said. “They are pleased that 

we are putting a plan into action.” 

Breen praised the collaboration 

between police, the schools, and 

town officials to help make the 

response training a reality. 

“We need good collaboration,” 

said Breen. “In my 22 years in 

Lynnfield, I’ve worked with four 

or five superintendents … and 

nobody has worked harder or collaborated 

closer with the police 

department than Superintendent 

(Jane) Tremblay.”

Computer Science Week 

gives STEM a boost 


Family Coding Night at the 

High School brought out 250 

people who took part in coding 

and robotics exercises in celebration 

of the third annual Computer 

Science Week on Dec. 15. 

“It was unbelievable, 

mind-boggling,” said Digital 

Learning Coordinator Jennifer 

Judkins. 

Younger students were given 

KIBO robots that use wooden 

blocks with bar codes on them 

to indicate different movements. 

Attendees could also experiment 

with Sphero robot toys, which are 

controlled by tablet. 

Judkins said high school computer 

science students went to the 

Huckleberry Hill and Summer 

Street Elementary Schools earlier 

in the week and were asked 

Looking for past issues? 

Find them on 

weeklynews.net 

to give presentations on what 

coding is. 

“Parents were speaking to 

us, saying their kids want to do 

more,” said Judkins, explaining 

how the high school visits affected 

the elementary students. 

“I’m a mom and I worry about 

screen time. It’s good for parents 

to see that not all screen time is 

equal.” 

Judkins recommended the website 

Code.org for parents who are 

looking for free computer science 

activities. 

Although the school system has 

participated in Computer Science 

Week in the past, Judkins said 

this was the first Family Coding 

Night. She said it will probably 

be back again next year, but it is 

hoped, in a larger space.

Engineering and Math (STEM), 

Judkins said there are also plans 

to launch a new Makerspace 

at Lynnfield Middle School in 

January. 

Lynnfield is one of the few 

school districts in the state to have 

a strong Makerspace program, 

said Judkins, who explained the 

concept as an area that focuses on 

student-centered creative play. 

Judkins said the district rolled 

out pilot Makerspaces at the 

High School and Summer Street 

School last year and another this 

year at the Huckleberry School. 

According to a slide presentation 

by Judkins about 

Makerspaces, the elementary 

school space is designed to 

teach electric circuits, creativity, 

computational thinking, engineering 

and collaboration through 

monthly design challenges.

Why a real Christmas tree is 

the best holiday decoration 

You are helping 

the earth! 

The entire time a tree 

is growing, it is taking in 

carbon dioxide and releasing 

oxygen, cleaning the air 

and helping slow climate 

change. 

There are about 1 million 

acres in production for 

growing Christmas trees. 

Each acre provides the daily 

oxygen requirements of 

18 people. 

No matter how many years 

you reuse an artificial tree, 

someday it will get thrown 

away and end up in a landfill 

for the next 1,000 years! 

You are supporting 

American industry! 

Real Christmas trees are 

an all-American product, 

grown on farms in all 50 states 

including Alaska and Hawaii. 

Buying real trees helps 

support small local farmers 

and at the end of the holiday 

season, the trees can be 

mulched up and used to feed 

plants 

There are about 15,000 

Christmas tree growers in 

the U.S. and over 100,000 

people employed full or parttime 

in the industry 

Support our nation’s farmers! 

If people didn’t buy cut 

trees farmers wouldn’t plant 

them. 

It’s easier than ever to 

have a real Christmas 

tree - no hassle! 

When you are done with 

your tree you can recycle it. 

Most cities have programs 

to pick up your holiday tree 

and grind it into mulch. 

It’s Christmas. Keep It 

Real has partnered with 

Handy to offer seamless 

Christmas tree delivery and 

set up in major cities across 

the U.S. including: Chicago, 

LA, San Francisco, Boston, 

New York and Austin.

Holiday 

Our Christmas perspective 

changes throughout life 

Lynnfield High students 

learn common cents 

By Glenn Mollette 

I was saddened when I saw the 

report of a group of little children 

hiding in a basement in Aleppo, 

Syria. Sadly this is where most of 

Aleppo’s remaining children are 

located. They are holding on to 

life, hopefully another day. 

Many of us grew up loving 

the Santa Claus story and honestly 

I’m still holding on just 

a little bit. I don’t have a big 

list for him. However, most of 

what I’m hoping for is really 

out of Santa’s league. 

Santa Claus is good for fun 

and games. I asked Santa for 

some games when I was a kid 

and received a Password game 

and a game called Mystic 

Skull. Those were fun games. 

I also asked Santa for a plastic 

bowling ball set. I got up on 

Christmas morning very early 

and it wasn’t under the tree. My 

mother went to the hall closet 

and pulled out this big box and 

said, “Santa told me to put it in 

here until you got up from bed.” 

I accepted that story as only a 

six or seven year old would do.” 

Christmas lists change with 

age. What I hoped for at five 

became very different as the 

years passed. I had wish lists 

pertaining to career, children 

and other aspirations. Today 

I’m so very happy to simply 

enjoy health, trips to the grocery 

store and a warm house. 

Amazingly what makes me 

happy today is far more complicated 

than when I was preparing 

my toy lists for Santa. 

I once asked for a $29 white 

electric guitar for Christmas. 

My hard working, coal-mining 

daddy and mom were able to 

buy that for me. I was so happy. 

It seemed like I had just gotten 

everything in the world for 

Christmas. A few days later 

one of my relatives was visiting 

our home and he was admiring 

my white electric guitar. He 

didn’t make a lot of money but 

admired my gift and later commented 

that it was hard to buy 

many Christmas gifts on $20 a 

week. I felt a little bad about my 

beautiful guitar and sad for him. 

This was back in the day when 

decent money was $125 a week. 

Looking back I can now see 

more clearly that his perspective 

was that of a struggling adult. 

I enjoyed that feel of being a 

little child. I didn’t worry about 

healthcare. I didn’t worry about 

having food to eat or paying the 

bills. I didn’t worry about sickness 

or life’s longevity. I was 

free to enjoy the child’s perspective 

of Christmas. Today as 

adults we are hammered with the 

harsh realities of life. We deal 

with the daily grind of life that 

includes all the pains of having 

enough money and enough 

health to enjoy Christmas. We 

have other family members we 

agonize with and relate to in 

their struggles. 

We also have national concerns. 

We are blessed in America 

where so much of what we enjoy 

is almost a miracle every day. 

With all that we see and hear 

about in Syria and so many other 

troubled places in the world 

surely to just sleep and live in 

peace has to mean everything to 

all of us. I think this is something 

we grow into in America. The 

news tonight about little children 

hiding in a basement in Aleppo 

fearing for their lives was heartbreaking. 

They hold onto hope 

of their lives being spared and 

maybe a better day. However, a 

night of peace and rest is almost 

inconceivable to them. 

Whatever you have this 

Christmas, cherish and respect 

it. Thank God for everything 

you have. The perspective of 

everything we have changes 

throughout life from a fiveyear-old 

child to someone barely 

holding on to life in a nursing 

home or a family huddled together 

in a basement in Aleppo. 

Twelve Lynnfield High School students and their chaperones took 

a tour of the State House before participating in “Common Cents,” 

a financial education competition sponsored by the Massachusetts 

Bankers Association (MBA) and five co-sponsors, including The 

Savings Bank at the State House. The tour was arranged by State 

Rep. Donald H. Wong (R-Saugus).

MEASURING GLUCOSE LEVELS 

Researchers are currently striving to develop needle-free glucose meters that 

work by testing the urine, implanting sensors under the skin, or even using 

“smart” contact lenses that are designed to measure glucose levels in tears. 

However, until these advanced meters and sensors are developed, diabetes 

patients will have to rely on current models that use a drop of the patient’s 

blood. Fortunately, the good news to report is that some of the newer glucose 

monitors require less blood, and many now include an option to take samples 

from other areas of the body (such as the forearm) that are less sensitive to 

needle pricks. However, readings from these alternative areas may not be as 

accurate after eating. 

Blood glucose meters are smaller, faster, and come with more features than 

ever before. They're also more accurate than blood glucose meters of years 

past. For more information, please call VILLAGE PHARMACY at 781-334-3133. 

It’s never too late to become an informed consumer about your health. We are 

more than happy to answer any questions you might have about generic drugs 

as well as brand name drugs and over-the-counter medications. We are located 

in the Colonial Shopping Center. 

HINT: Regular glucose testing is the most important step that diabetics can 

take to control diabetes and prevent complications.

Letter to the editor 

Dear Editor: 

I am writing in response to 

the Dec. 8 letter by John Ciampa. 

I am neither strongly 

for, nor strongly against the 

rail trail. However, I am compelled 

to rebut his assertion 

that “there are no unusual 

traffic delays caused by MarketStreet.” 

How then does 

he explain the plethora of 

new traffic signs on our side 

streets, the addition of two 

new traffic signals and the 

immediate hiring of several 

out of town police officers? 

The latter was done specifically 

for traffic enforcement, 

and with the expediency requested 

by neighbors at the 

expense of training young 

men from our town for these 

positions. Mr. Ciampa must 

have missed those meetings. 

Finally, he should drive 

south on 128 from Route 1 

this Sunday afternoon and 

see how far back the line goes 

for the Walnut Street exit. 

Sincerely, 

Richard Hockney 

Summer Street 

Gift drive at 

Lynnfield Middle School 


sponsored an annual gift 

drive for families in need 

this holiday season. Year after 

year, the LMS Annual 

Gift Drive, which is coordinated 

in conjunction with 

the Department of Child and 

Family Services, displays an 

abundance of charity and 

generosity. Last year, more 

than 1,500 items were graciously 

donated to help families 

in need. Common items 

needed include bed sheets, 

Unwrapped items and gift 

cards were dropped off at 


where on Dec. 20, staff members, 

DCF social workers, 

students and parents gathered 

after school to wrap the 

presents in preparation for 

distribution to families. 

Tuesday, Dec. 13 

At 4:38 p.m., a caller reported

truck that dropped off a number 

of individuals with hunting 

gear on Lowell Street.

When done by the best! 

Two-year-old Juniper was found in a car engine in Florida. She had sustained burns on her belly and 

went right to the vet’s office for surgery. Once she was healthy enough she traveled to the Northeast 

Animal Shelter to find a loving home. When she arrived, it was noted that she has a wound and when 

no one was able to say what it was, she went into a four-month quarantine. Now this sweet long hair gal 

is ready to meet you! She has been spayed and is up to date with vaccines. Juniper loves to be around 

her people. She will sit with them and loves to chat. She also enjoys following her people around and 

paws at them gently for attention. She loves to climb on a cat tree and is okay with being picked up. She 

does seem to like other cats, but she definitely does not like dogs. If you would like to meet Juniper to 

potentially adopt her, please visit her at the Northeast Animal Shelter located in Salem. Visiting hours 

are Monday-Friday 10-8 and weekends 10-6. You can also view all available cats and dogs on their 

website @ www.neas.org.

Om for the holidays 

You may consider it a holiday 

or a holy day but either 

way we seem to get whacked 

with some stress in December. 

It is during the rush of 

the holiday season that we 

often forget to give that one 

gift for the one that is most 

important-yourself. I suggest 

that you grab a moment 

alone and simply breathe. 

Breathe in the joy and out the 

stress. Remember that it is a 

gift to be with the ones that 

you love and you need to just 

Om!! Here are a few breathing 

tips for all ages, since the 

holiday season brings out the 

child in us all. 

You’ve been breathing your 

whole life and never really 

thought about it right? Well, 

you can choose to breathe for 

energy or breathe for calm. 

During my kids yoga classes 

we call energy breathing 

the bunny breath-you simply 

sniff in five times quickly 

then out slowly. You can complete 

about five rounds and 

suddenly you feel energized 

and alert. For a more calming 

breathe we call it bee breath. 

I have them simply close 

their lips loosely and hum or 

buzz like a bee and suddenly 

a sense of calm. Hint-it works 

for big yogis too. But below is 

something interesting I read 

KIDS YOGA 



contactus@essexmedia.group 

in Yoga Journal and decided 

to share it for adults. 

Breathe for more energy 

When you’re fighting sluggishness 

or need to feel alert, 

inhale through the nose 

instead of the mouth. And 

breathing through the right 

nostril stimulates blood and 

oxygen flow to the left side of 

the brain, which can awaken 

the brain’s verbal and critical-thinking 

centers, says 

Fiona Gupta, MD, a neurologist 

at the Movement Disorders 

Center of Hackensack 

University Medical Center. 

Breathe for more calm 

Breathing through your 

left nostril can slow your 

heart rate and lower your 

blood pressure. Repeat the 

instructions for “More Energy;” 

breathing, but do it 

on the opposite side (close 

your right nostril; breathe 

through your left).

Pioneer icemen cruise to third straight 

By Anne Marie Tobin 

PEABODY — The Lynnfield High boys 

hockey team cruised to its third straight win 

last Saturday with a 7-1 rout over visiting 

Hamilton-Wenham at McVann-O’Keefe 

Memorial Rink. 

The win improved the Pioneers to 3-0, 

which is the best start in the past five seasons 

under head coach Jon Gardner. 

Garder attributed the success to a change in 

the team’s preseason routine that increased the 

time the team spent scrimmaging and less time 

spent on drills and practice. 

“We usually have had slow starts and 

December has been cruel to us, but this year 

we changed our preseason and it seems to 

have paid off,” Gardner said. “We had more 

scrimmages with two in the first week against 

Medfield and Coyle Cassidy and two more 

against Fenwick and Danvers and also had and 

inter program scrimmage on the third night of 

tryouts. It comes down to fewer practices and 

more actual play time, but we still have a lot 

more work to do.” 

Lynnfield dominated possession and kept 

the puck in the offensive zone throughout 

nearly the entire game against the Generals, 

who are in their first year as a varsity squad. 

“It’s tough, especially because we were 

hurting with injuries to four players who are 

key to the team,” Hamilton-Wenham coach 

Rob Ryan said. “Overall I was proud of our 

effort considering we had a very short bench, 

as they gave it everything they had. We are 

very young and have no seniors and a lot of 

players whose only experience has been at the 

JV level, so we have a lot of do to prepare them 

for the future.” 

The Generals hung tough for the first two 

periods, trailing 2-1 after the first period and 

4-1 after two periods, thanks to the efforts of 

freshman goalie Finn Brophy, who withstood 

a relentless Pioneer barrage throughout. 

“I don’t know how many shots he faced, 

but there were 22 in the middle period alone, 

so I would not be surprised if there were 45 

or more,” Ryan said. “It was a one-goal game 

after one period and then still only 4-1 after the 

second, but they wore us down. Missing that 

many players really hurt us down the stretch. 

We started taking too many penalties, and 

that’s when they put the game away.” 

Lynnfield broke the game open midway 

through the final period when senior forwards 

Boys basketball opens season on a high note 

By Matt Fraser 

WEST NEWBURY — The Lynnfield boys’ basketball 

team opened its season on a high note Friday evening, defeating 

host Pentucket, 64-53, with the kind of effort that left 

coach Scott MacKenzie and the Pioneers cautiously optimistic 

and thirsting for more. 

A spread out offensive effort, featuring a trio of double-digit 

scorers in senior captains Mike Carangelo (16 points) and 

Louis Ellis (13 points) along with junior point guard Billy 

Arseneault (12 points) coupled with a Jekyll and Hyde showing 

on the defensive end was enough for the visitors, which twice 

yielded less than 10 points in a period. Lynnfield, however, 

was outscored in both the second and fourth quarters. 

“I was thrilled with our effort early on,” said MacKenzie 

of his team’s hard work around its own basket, alluding to a 

span of 4:35 in which the Sachems were held scoreless. The 

Pioneers took their first lead, one that they wouldn’t relinquish, 

at the 2:57 mark of the opening quarter when Arseneault 

capped off an old-fashioned three-point play with a made free 

throw to make it 7-6. 

From there, the Pioneers built a 10-point lead starting with 

three-point plays from Ellis and Carangelo, the latter of the 

and-one variety. Arseneault made a free throw six seconds into

Lynnfield goalie Joe Breslow makes a save against Hamilton-Wenham with defenseman Jaret Simpson (4) looking on. 

Ryan Freitas and Christian D’Agostino scored 

two goals within an eight-second span. Senior 

Joe Breslow, in his first varsity start, and sophomore 

Aidan Kelly split the win in goal. 

“It would have been nice to get the shutout 

for Joe and Aidan but considering the only 

goal they got came on a 5-on-3 penalty, I’ll 

take it,” coach Jon Gardner said. “I felt badly 

for Joe because we had a chance to clear the 

puck out of the zone and kill off the penalties, 

but we hit it over the glass and then they 

scored, Joe and Aidan are very good goalies 

and they both played well today.” 

Junior assistant captain Joey Mack opened 

the scoring with an unassisted goal at the 8:18 

mark in the first period. With the Generals’ 

Day in the penalty box for boarding, Johnny 

Percoskie needed just 11 seconds to cash in on 

the power play to double the Pioneer lead to 

2-0. Mack and junior captain Cooper Marengi 

picked up assists on the play. 

With just under three minutes to play, Junior 

Tyler Murphy and D’Agostino were flagged 

for tripping and roughing, respectively, 

within a 14-second span, giving the Generals 

a 5-on-3 power play. After Lynnfield failed 

to clear the puck out of the zone, Hamilton- 

Wenham won the ensuing faceoff. Aidan Day 

swooped in alone in the slot and scored to cut 

the Pioneers’ lead to 2-1 with 1:31 to play in 

the period. 

Freshman forward John Simonetti made 

it 3-1 49 seconds into the second period. 

Marengi blasted a shot off a faceoff that deflected 

off the side of the net to Murphy, who 

pushed the puck back to Simonetti creeping in 

from the left slot. 

Lynnfield scored again on a power play to 

make it 4-1 at the 7:57 mark of the second 

period. Sophomore forward Chris Flannery 

won a faceoff in the offensive zone and played 

the puck back to senior forward Jeff Olsen. 

Brophy made the save on Olsen’s shot, but 

the puck rebounded back to freshman Danny 

Mack, who tucked it past Brophy. Flannery 

and Olsen were credited with assists. 

Lynnfield survived some anxious seconds 

near the end of the period. The Generals took 

advantage of a turnover in the neutral zone and 

had a three-on-two. Kelly, who had relieved 

Breslow midway through the period, made a 

glove save, then Lynnfield safely cleared the 

puck out of the defensive zone after winning 

the faceoff. 

The Pioneers kept up the pressure in the 

third period, but Brophy held them at bay until 

Freitas slipped in from the left faceoff circle 

and beat Brophy with a shot just under the 

crossbar on the far post from a tough angle 

at the 8:40 mark. Kyle Nekoroski and Tom 

the second quarter before Pentucket’s Jimmy Cleary (gamehigh 

20 points) ended the 12-0 run with a triple, the first of 

three Pentucket would bury in the period. 

Cleary’s hot-hand proved contagious, as the Sachems 

poured in a half dozen treys including those from Sam Stys, 

Gus Flaherty and Conor O’Neil (11 points) to cut Lynnfield’s 

halftime lead to just five, at 31-26. 

“I’ll tell you what, our defensive execution in the second 

quarter was atrocious,” MacKenzie lamented. “We stopped 

communicating. It was very disappointing, allowing them to 

go into the locker room with all of the momentum. Quite honestly, 

I didn’t think it had to be that way.” 

The surge would be short-lived for the hosts who, like so 

many teams last season, were met by a nearly un-impenetrable 

Pioneers’ second half defense, which surrendered just nine 

points in the third period. 

“We laid into our guys a little bit during the break and to their 

credit, they came out and responded,” said Mackenzie, who is 

already looking forward to the next meeting with Pentucket on 

January 31. “They’re only going to get better. When we see 

them again, they’ll be much more poised.” 

Offensively, Arseneault and Ellis scored four points apiece 

in the quarter, pushing the lead to 13 (48-35). Arseneault 

Powers picked up assists. 

D’Agostino won the ensuing faceoff and 

played the puck to Powers. He slipped it 

wide to Nekoroski, who found D’Agostino 

swooping in. D’Agostino blasted a slap shot 

past Brophy at the 8:32 mark to put the game 

out of reach at 6-1. 

Zack Rothwell capped the scoring with a 

power play goal (from Simonetti and Robbie 

Fucillo) with 1:51 to play. 

Cooper Marengi, Kyle Nekoroski and Tom 

Powers finished with two assists each, while 

Joey Mack also had two points on a goal and 

an assist. 

“We knew they (Hamilton-Wenham) was 

down with some injuries, but overall I thought 

we played pretty well,” Gardner said. “We 

had a couple of penalties early that hurt, but 

we avoided the knucklehead penalties the rest 

of the game for the most part. I thought Matt 

Collins played a very good game and Joey 

Mack was solid in all three zones. He (Mack) 

logged a lot of minutes and will continue to do 

so. The only thing I could say we could have 

done better was we maybe weren’t as patient 

looking for that extra pass. Other than that, I 

was pleased with the overall effort.” 

Lynnfield’s next game is Monday against 

Medford at the Kasabuski Christmas Classic 

in Saugus at 4 p.m. 

shined in his role as playmaker with a dazzling display of assists 

throughout the contest; 

“(Arseneault) had exactly the kind of game we thought he 

would,” said MacKenzie. “He is incredibly difficult to handle 

1-on-1, as he is very strong and poised with the ball in his 

hands. Tonight, he did a great job getting his teammates involved 

and feeling good about themselves.” 

Arseneault and Ellis, this time along with Carangelo, 

again scored four points each in the final period to offset the 

work of Cleary who made two more three-pointers, earning 

Mackenzie’s praise. 

“He was making a lot of tough shots so he deserves as much 

credit. Even when he’s missing shots, he continues to shoot it. 

(Senior) Matt Seelig did a great job playing his role, coming 

off the bench and harassing (Cleary) into a few fouls which got 

him off the court and helped us regain our confidence.” 

Zachary Shone scored seven points for the Pioneers, who got 

four points apiece from juniors Dan Jameson, Matt Mortellite 

and Seelig as well senior Bryant Dana. 

“I was happy to be on the road to open the season, said 

MacKenzie. “We were able to see how our guys react to the 

environment, see if they’d demonstrate a little backbone and 

they did just that.”


Despite slow start, girls hockey still upbeat 

By Matt Fraser 

WINTHROP — It’s never 

easy starting the season 0-3, but 

optimism still abounds for the 

Peabody/Lynnfield co-op girls 

hockey, which continues to show 

noticeable signs of improvement 

as it strides toward changing the 

landscape of the Northeastern 

Hockey League. 

Despite being shutout on 

Saturday afternoon, a 2-0 loss to 

Winthrop/Lynn/Saugus at Larsen 

Rink, second-year head coach 

Michelle Roach is confident that 

wins are coming. 

“Certainly, we’re disappointed 

with the loss but at the same time, 

we’re seeing plenty of progression,” 

she said. “It’s not an easy, 

early season schedule for us, with 

Melrose (2-1) and Masconomet 

(4-1) before today, but where 

we are at right now compared to 

where we were last year, it’s almost 

like a different team.” 

Peabody/Lynnfield’s three-zone 

effort on Saturday was a testament 

to that belief, particularly in the 

defensive zone, where freshman 

goaltender Jenny Collins of North 

Reading shined in her first varsity 

start with 32 saves. 

“I was very happy with what I 

saw out of her today,” said Roach 

of Collins, who took over in in net 

after sophomore Abby Buckley 

(of Lynnfield) played the previous 

two games. “In terms of 

style, (Collins) is a bit more of 

an aggressor, which allowed for 

some big saves. I’m looking forward 

to seeing more of her.” 

Bulldawgs’ coach Anthony 

Martucci, whose line-up features 

one of the premier net-minders in 

the conference, if not the state, in 

senior stalwart Gretchen Howard, 

echoed Roach’s praises.

Lynnfield/Peabody goalie Abby Buckley makes a save against Melrose with Mae Norton (18) and Hanni 

Aylward (10) helping out. 

“For her to see and stop that 

many pucks in her first start, and 

with such poise, is pretty impressive. 

(Roach) seems to have 

a stable of strong goalies over 

there. Maybe she can lend us one 

next season?” 

Special teams play proved the 

difference in terms of scoring 

as Winthrop’s ever-dangerous 

power play unit, scored twice in 

a span of just 1:16. 

The Tanners were whistled 

for a pair of infractions, the 

latter with 28 seconds left in the 

first period, giving Winthrop a 

two-man advantage. 

Winthrop needed just five seconds 

to capitalize. 

Kelsie Griffiths found her way 

to the left post off of a faceoff win 

from Mia Price before tipping 

in a perfectly placed pass from 

Sydney Adamson. 

With a clean sheet of ice to 

work with, the Winthrop, still 

on the power play, doubled the 

lead 53 seconds into the second 

as Price found the back of the 

net, with help from Griffiths and 

Bella Perrotti. 

“They’re a strong team and you 

can’t keep going into the penalty 

box and hope to win,” said 

Roach, whose own power play 

finished 0-3. 

It wasn’t until the 2:50 mark 

of the middle frame, when senior 

captain and defenseman Caroline 

Buckley of Lynnfield landed just 

the third shot on net, that Peabody/ 

Lynnfield started to show some 

life offensively. Shortly thereafter, 

North Reading sisters 

Sammy and Cassie Mirasolo got 

in on the action with a couple of 

scoring chances before the end of 

the period. 

A shift in momentum was apparent 

in the finale where, after 

being outshot 15-5 through 

two periods, the Tanners doubled 

their total by the 11:02 mark, 

including a pair of bids from 

Jammie Mirasolo, who elected to 

fire on consecutive 2-on-1 rushes. 

A blazing rush down the left 

wing before a cut to the middle 

from Buckley led to a shot at 

4:35 before Howard came up 

with a pair of 10-bell saves from 

the seat of her pants at 1:34 on

Peabody/Lynnfield finished 

with 14 shots in total. 

“We tend to be a bit too passive 

in the offensive zone which has 

lead to us not being able to find 

the back of the net,” said Roach 

of the Tanners’ scoring deficiencies. 

“We’re engaged in all of 

these games and working hard

this scoring problem.”

Stead wins gold at Lisitano tournament 


WAKEFIELD — Lynnfield- 

North Reading wrestling team senior 

captain Connor Stead picked 

up the first major tournament win 

of his career Saturday at the annual 

Lisitano Memorial Wrestling 

tournament at Wakefield High. 

Stead upended top-seeded Ryan 

Smith of Wakefield in the final, 

pinning Smith in 5:24. Stead, who 

finished sixth in the 138-pound 

division last year, was one of 

seven Black and Gold wrestlers 

who placed in the meet, three of 

whom were freshmen. 

Stuart Glover led the freshmen 

trio with a fourth place finish 

at 106 pounds, while Timothy 

Leggett (120) and Sean 

McCullough (160) finished fifth. 

“We haven’t had a freshman 

place in this meet since 2001, 

so to have three place today was 

quite impressive,” LNR coach 

Craig Stone said. “Stuart wrestled 

in the youth program and 

obviously as the younger brother 

of Will, that also helps. Timothy 

came to us with judo experience 

and also had a brother in the program, 

Devin, who wrestled last 

year and finished eighth in the 

state. And Sean also comes to us 

with experience from the youth 

program.” 

Anthony Wilkinson (182, 

4th) and Kevin Farrelly (195, 

6th) were first-time placewinners, 

Glover’s older brother Will 

Glover (126, 4th) also placed. 

LNR finished seventh out of 17 

teams from all three divisions. 

Stead breezed through the first 

two rounds with pin wins. He defeated 

Saugus’s Joe Alva in 5:29, 

then needed only 1:32 to beat 

Alvaro Mendoza of Lexington in 

the second round. In the semifinals 

against Methuen’s Christian 

Rosado, the only points in the 

match came on a takedown by 

Stead 15 seconds into the match. 

Stead held on to win, 2-0 to advance 

to the final against Smith. 

Stead jumped out to a 6-0 lead, 

and went for the jugular in the 

third period. 

“I was confident he wasn’t 

going to be able to pin me, so I 

went to my back to get the pin,” 

Stead said. “My plan was to push

Wakefield High. 

the pace early and get ahead, then 

was able to break him down. He 

got that big throw, but I kept 

pushing and that’s when I went to 

the back and kept grinding.” 

Stuart Glover (2-2) got a tough 

draw and had to face off against 

eventual champion Ian Forgitano 

of Georgetown/Ispwich right off 

the bat in the first round. While 

Forgitano advanced with a pin 

in 3:10, Glover battled his way 

through the losers’ bracket with 

wins over Lexington’s Oliver 

Helper (:59), Malden Catholic’s 

Logan Prousaisi (pin) and Shaikh 

Prolay of Arlington (7-1) before 

coming up short in the third 

place bout to Methuen’s Jarmany 

Colon, 7-1. 

After a first round bye, Leggett 

(2-2) pinned Aidan Armstrong 

of Wakefield to advance to the 

semifinals, where he was pinned 

by eventual champion Andy 

Richard of Lincoln-Sudbury. He 

lost a heartbreaker in the consolation 

semifinals to Joe Gbedema 

in overtime. Leggett led 9-7 

with less than a minute left, but 

Gbedema tied it with a reversal 

to send the match into overtime 

where Gbedema won it with a 

takedown with 27 seconds left. 

Leggett rebounded with a pin win 

(2:09) against Arlington’s Taisei 

Akatsu to end up fifth. 

Will Glover (2-2) had a first 

round bye, then pinned Ethan 

Fong of Lexington to advance to 

the semifinals where he lost a 13-2 

major decision to Watertown’s 

Sammy Leitner. He pinned Louis 

Torres of Georgetown/Ipswich 

(GI) in 4:51 to advance to the 

third place match, but came up 

short and placed fourth. Glover 

missed last year’s tournament 

with a concussion. 

McCullough (3-2) breezed 

through the first two rounds with 

pins over Wakefield’s Ben Piercy 

and Pentucket’s Jason Young, 

then was relegated to the consolation 

bracket by Christian 

Hernandez of GI, in the semifinals, 

who advanced to the final 

with a win by pin. McCullough 

lost 8-5 to Kyle Williams of 

Lincoln-Sudbury in the consolations 

semis, then rebounded with 

Happy Holidays LPW_SA_LA.ai 1 12/5/2016 12:18:29 PM 

an 8-6 win over Jack Scialoia of 

Catholic Memorial to take fifth 

place. 

Wilkinson had a very long 

day, and that’s something when 

it comes to wrestling tournaments 

that can last 11 or more 

hours. After a first round bye, 

he lost to Pentucket’s Kalon 

Boston 15-0, then won a 4-0 

decision over Reading’s David 

Fodero to reach the consolation 

semis. He won his next match 

by forfeit, then thought he took 

third place when he needed only 

30 seconds to pin his next opponent. 

Unfortunately, tournament 

officials made a mistake in the 

pairings following Wilkinson’s 

default win that wiped out his pin 

win and forced him to re-wrestle 

the match for third place against 

another wrestler. 

“They advanced the wrong 

wrestler after Wilkinson won by 

injury default, so he faced the 

wrong wrestler during that 30 

second pin,” Stone explained. 

“He later faced the correct wrestler 

from Greater Lawrence 

(Malib Pastrana) and lost, finishing 

fourth and not third.” 

Farrelly (1-2) had a first 

round bye, then advanced to 

the semifinals with a pin win 

over Watertown’s Tim Tat. He 

lost that match to Jon Stix of 

Lexington, then lost both consolation 

matches in close decisions 

to end up sixth. 

Joe Reardon (132 pounds) 

defeated Watertown’s Sabir 

Hussain in an 8-1 decision in the 

first round, but was eliminated 

with losses in his two consolation 

matches. 

Tim Goucher (220 pounds) 

was relegated to the consolation 

bracket with a first round loss 

to Jonathan Valdez of Catholic 

Memorial. He stayed alive with 

a pin win over Armani Dotson of 

Marblehead/Swampscott but was 

both won matches but was eliminated 

in the next round. 

On December 14, the Black 

and Gold hosted Pentucket at 

home and came away with a deceptive 

50-27 win. 

“Only 10 of 14 matches were 

wrestled on the mat due to the 

fact that Pentucket was unable 

to fill four weight classes due to 

illness and injury and the teams 

split 5-5,” Stone said. 

Rossetti, Stead and Wilkinson 

picked up their third straight dual 

meet wins in as many matches. 

Rossetti (145) won his match 

by pin in 2:40, while Stead won 

a 10-0 major decision at 152 

pounds and Wilkinson won at 

182 by pin in 1:44. 

Stuart Glover wrestled up a 

weight class to 113 pounds and 

won his match (described by 

Stone as “impressive”) by major 

decision, 8-0. At 170 pounds, 

Andrew DiPietro won by pin in 

5:37. 

Stuart Metrano (106), Will 

Glover (126), Dylan Reardon 

(132) and Joe Reardon won by 

forfeit. 

Anthony Wilkinson seems to have the upper hand on Reading’s David 

Fodera during the Lisitano Tournament at Wakefield High last 

weekend.

Pioneer girls basketball falls to Pentucket 


LYNNFIELD — The only 

place to go is up. 

That was how second-year 

Lynnfield High girls basketball 

coach Jim Perry chose to look at 

the Pioneers’ 52-22 loss to visiting 

Pentucket last Friday night 

in the season opener. 

Lynnfield struggled in all 

phases of the game from start 

to finish and was overwhelmed 

by Pentucket’s full court press, 

turning the ball over its first seven 

times down the court, which 

Pentucket parlayed into a 12-0 

lead before Lynnfield’s first shot 

attempt. 

All told, the Pioneers had 20 

turnovers (33 total) in the first 

half alone, which ended with 

Pentucket holding a comfortable 

20-point lead at 33-13. 

“They played an aggressive and 

tough defense and we couldn’t 

handle their press,” Perry said. 

“We need to be able to handle 

the ball through the press, but at 

times, we were a little deer in the

headlights, at times we simply 

were out of position or when we 

were in position, we moved the 

wrong way and didn’t flash in to 

give the point some help to break 

the press and move the ball down 

court.” 

Lynnfield sat on a zone defense 

the entire game against the faster, 

quicker and vastly more experienced 

Sachems, who went on a 

three-point feeding frenzy. 

Pentucket spread the scoring 

wealth with 10 different players 

scoring points, seven of whom hit 

threes. 

“I don’t know what it is about 

this league, but I’ve never seen 

more girls take and make threepoint 

shots like tonight,” said 

Perry. 

“We tried to slow them down 

with zone pressure, but they hit 

they were able to stretch the defense 

and get the open looks and 

hit their shots” 

Perry said he knew it was going 

to be a catch-22 of sorts in terms 

of the Pioneer defensive scheme. 

“They are a very strong, skilled 

www.supinoinsurance.com 

and fast team and at this point 

with such a young and inexperienced 

team, we knew we couldn’t 

keep up if went man with them. 

As it was, even with the zone, we 

were huffing, puffing and getting 

beaten to the few loose balls 

we have chances. The turnovers 

were bad enough; when we made 

them, they capitalized, but our rebounding 

was disappointing. We 

got man-handled on the boards 

and they had too many second, 

third and fourth chances.” 

Pentucket jumped out to a 16-0 

lead before junior captain and 

point guard Juliana Passatempo 

broke the ice with a three as the 

shot clock was expiring with 

about a minute to play in the 

first quarter. After Lynnfield’s 

11th turnover of the quarter, 

the Sachems’ Angelica Hurley, 

a freshman, countered with a 

bucket to give Pentucket an 18-2 

lead after the opening quarter. 

The Pioneers’ offense picked 

up in the second quarter. While 

they made only four hoops, 

three of them were threes. 

Unfortunately, Pentucket made 

four threes of its own (one an 

old-fashioned and-one) to take a 

33-13 lead into halftime. 

In the third quarter, both teams 

struggled to score and combined 

for only 10 points - all by 

Pentucket. The good news, however, 

was the Pioneers made the 

Sachems work for them. After 

an offensive rebound by Alyssa 

Demeule in the opening seconds 

of the quarter, the Pioneers dug 

in and held Pentucket scoreless 

for the next six minutes, before 

the Sachems barely beat the shot 

clock with a pair of threes by 

Anglelina Yacubacci and Hurley 

with under a minute to go. 

“That was a better defensive 

effort than in the first half,” Perry 

said. “They hit a couple of shots 

at the buzzer, but we hurt ourselves 

the rest of the way with 

fouls deep in their possessions 

Lynnfield’s Juliana Passatempo tries to drive past Casey Hunt of Pentucket. 

that basically gave them some 

freebies. That group that was out 

there was so aggressive, so that is 

something we have to take away 

with us moving forward.” 

The group referred to by Perry 

included freshman Victoria 

Morelli, junior Emory Caswell, 

junior Hannah Filipe, who 

sparked the defense coming in 

off the bench, as well as junior 

captain Juliana Passatempo, who 

scored a game-high 11 points, and 

junior captain Lizzie Shaievitz (7 

points). 

Only two other Pioneers 

scored points; junior forward 

MacKenzie O’Neil and sophomore 

guard Emily Dickey had 

one bucket each. 

“This team doesn’t have a lot of 

scorers, so I think some of them 

were pressing too much, trying to 

do too much,” Perry said. “You 

could also see our conditioning 

was an issue in this game. “They 

wore us down, and that’s when 

you saw all those fouls. We need 

to work on getting in better shape, 

or this is going to be a problem 

all year. 

“We are in the Cape Ann 

League Large division, so we 

have to play the big teams twice. 

Pentucket is just one of a long 

list of schools who are all dying 

to play us, so we have a lot of 

work to do, especially in terms of 

building confidence and endurance 

along with about 16 other 

things. We are extremely young 

and we have some athletes that 

may not be of the AAU type in 

terms of basketball IQ, but we 

have a lot of games left and the 

only way to go is up.”


A real carnival for Pioneer track teams 


Christmas came early for the Lynnfield girls and boys 

track teams last Sunday at the annual Massachusetts State 

Track Coaches Association small schools Winter Festival 

held at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center. 

The Pioneers won two individual events and placed 

third in another. Junior Davide Pittilini won the 55-meter 

hurdles in a personal best 7.90, while, on the girls side, 

junior Kate Mitchell posted her fastest time in the last two 

years and won the 1,000 in 3:04.00. 

Mitchell trailed second place finisher Katie Bradley 

(3:07.55) of Norton for much of the race but turned on the 

jets over the last lap and left Bradley in the dust. 

“Kate got caught in a pack her first lap so had to make 

up the distance,” girls team coach Liane Cook said. “But 

she found a good spot to settle for the next few laps and 

then kicked it home the whole last lap” 

Pittilini and Mike Monahan of Tewksbury turned in the 

lowest time in the preliminary heats (8.14). 

Junior Nick Kinnon placed third in the 55-meter dash 

with a personal best 6.71. 

Kinnon was third in the preliminary heats with a time 

of 6.84 behind Nikolas Smith of Northampton (6.61) and 

Oakmont’s John Caouette (6.75), who won the final in 

6.67. 

Juniors Matt Ricciardi, Ryan Iapicca and Nathan 

Drislane set PRs and cracked the top-20 in their respective 

events. Ricciardi knocked nearly eight seconds of his PR 

and finished 11th in the 1,000 in 2:50.19 while Drislane 

beat his PR by more than five inches and finished 16th in 

the shot put (36-11.25). Drislane also finished 66th in the 

55 dash in 7.51. 

Iapicca finished 18th in the mile (4:50.60), knocking 

nearly nine seconds off his previous best. 

Sophomore Jack Campbell lowered his PR by more than 

two seconds and finished 30th in the 1,000. 

Arlex Correa Ramirez knocked 10 seconds off his PR 

and finished 34th in the mile in 5:02.70. 

Junior Christian Speicher finished 34th in the long jump 

with a leap of 15-07.50. 

Other Pioneer competitors were senior Nick Contardo 

(30-07.25) and junior Kenneth Babine (30-03.50), who 

finished 60th and 63rd, respectively in the shot put; Junior 

Anthony Floramo, 55 (78th, 7.65); and junior Peter Look, 

300 (86th, 42.28). 

“I am thrilled with the outcome of yesterday’s meet,” 

boys team coach Christine Smith said. “Our boys performed 

so well, with Davide winning hurdles and Nick 

placing third in the 55m (in) his first time in the event. 

Their hard work is paying off.” 

In the girls meet, the Pioneers’ next best finish was 

posted by junior Aja Parker, who set a PR (10.42) and finished 

22nd in the 55-meter hurdles. 

Five Pioneers competed in the shot put. Senior Rachel 

DiTullio led the throw team with a 40th place finish (24- 

03.25). Senior Abbie Dickey (78th, 21-06.50), freshman 

Jenna Freni (80th, PR 21-03.25) and Jackie Veglia (93rd, 

20-01.00) posted top-100 finishes. 

Junior Brie Giammarco finished 42nd in the 55 hurdles 

(10.97), while freshman Danielle Percoskie lowered her 

PR by two seconds and placed 43rd in the 300 (47.53), 

while freshman Emma Ricciardi ran a PR and finished 

45th in the mile (6:12.82).

PR 8.47), Veglia (89th, 8.71) and Lily Rothwell (98th, 

8.77) in the 55-meter dash; sophomore Lilly DiPietro in 

the 600 (62nd, 2:04.44); junior Sarah Bartolotta (71st, PR 

6:29.90) and sophomore Christina Kinslieh (86th, 6:43.36)

Food, just one part of the fun 

LEGALS 

By Rosalie Harrington 

“You probably never get 

invited to dinner.” 

I hear this often from people 

who are usually eating at 

our house and have a wave of 

fear when they think about reciprocating. 

Of course, food is 

a good part of getting together, 

but just like in a restaurant 

the ambience and the chemistry 

between you and the others 

is also important. 

When I think of some of 

the dinner parties we have 

attended this season, food is 

not paramount. I say this just 

in case you are feeling intimidated 

about having me over! 

The dinner party we attended 

last Friday is a perfect 

example of what makes 

a great evening. At a table of 

nine at a beautiful country 

club, to my right was the host 

and to my left was his 14-yearold 

daughter, Amanda. 

This was the first time 

that our host was seated 

next to me. I made a point 

to sit next to Amanda; she 

has a delightful, big personality 

stored in a lovely, petite 

frame. She remembered 

some of our conversation 

from the last time we were 

together and shared with 

me what she has been up to; 

she’s a ballerina and a baker, 

with friends galore. Her happily 

old-fashioned parents 

allowed no talking into, texting 

or even glancing at her 

phone during dinner. When 

her dad and I discussed politics 

or whatever the subject, 

she shared her opinions. She 

later sat on his lap and chatted 

with him. I envied the 

moment because I miss those 

times with my kids. 

See, so far I’ve said nothing 

about food. 

On the way to Winchester 

Country Club, I remembered 

Barbara, an old friend from 

East Boston who lives in Winchester. 

I wished out loud to 

my husband Todd that I could 

remember her married name 

so that I’d be able to ask about 

her. We went to Eastie High 

together and we both worked 

as dental assistants for Sam 

Kane while we were in school. 

We were good friends but 

lost track when she went to 

Boston College and I went 

to Tufts. Years later, we met 

when we had a bunch of 

kids between us and we both 

promised to see each other 

again, which of course we 

didn’t. I have often thought of 

her. One memory that stands 

out for me is that she had a 

beautiful, stay-at-home mom 

who was a lovely person. She 

came into my restaurant one 

evening with a group and, 

like many old friends, I was 

thrilled to see her. 

When we arrived at the 

country club, Todd pulled 

up to the main entrance so I 

could minimize my exposure 

to Friday night’s bitter cold. 

I walked in, and couldn’t 

Rosalie’s zucchini bread 

believe it – there she was, 

standing right in the foyer! 

When Todd came in and saw 

how happy I was, he asked if 

it was Barbara. “We were just 

talking about you,” he said. It 

was great fun to catch up and 

hear about her 15 grandchildren 

- 10 more than me, but 

who’s counting? When she 

comes back from her winter 

in Florida we will get together, 

hopefully. 

The rest of the evening was 

also wonderful, with self-deprecating 

humor coming 

from every seat, it seemed. 

There was a lot of banter 

about women shopping and 

spending money. There was 

post-election conversation; 

one of the men got some flak 

for a sweatshirt he had worn 

that week with a big picture 

of president-elect Trump that 

said “He won, get over it.” 

Over cocktails, the women 

talked about how different 

the holidays are now that the 

kids are “out of the house,” romanticizing 

the childrearing 

years. None of us reflected on 

how much work it was, such 

as entertaining on Christmas 

Eve. Back in the day, having 

20 people for a seven-course 

fish dinner wasn’t all fun, especially 

when you had to assemble 

all the toys before you 

went to bed. 

It was much easier to be 

hosted at a country club for 

dinner as we were Friday, 

and though we weren’t with 

family, it felt like it. The food 

was fine. But it wasn’t center 

stage. 

Back then on the week 

before Christmas there were 

many packages to wrap and 

loads of decorating and preparing 

for company to do. 

Cookies and breads were 

made and put in the freezer to 

take the pressure off the few 

days before the actual day. I 

collected several tins from my 

thrift shopping for cookies. 

I still like to make small 

loaves of breads like zucchini, 

banana or olive oil. They 

are great with coffee or tea 

and they freeze well. They 

make nice hostess gifts with 

a jar of jam, too. 

The smallest Christmas 

tree ever with the most ornaments 

and blinking white 

lights is in my kitchen, where 

I spend most of my time. Our 

grandsons have gone off to be 

with their dad, because it’s 

his turn, for 10 days. I totally 

begrudge him this time. 

We got some good news 

that our friends Luke and 

Zucchini Bread 

James are coming to the 

North Shore for Christmas 

and want to stay with us. My 

ex-husband is house sitting 

- and animal sitting - for my 

son and his family who flew 

out Saturday to a tropical 

island where temperatures 

are more appropriate for 

humans. They will be back 

Christmas Eve. Their Gatsby-like 

house will not go to 

waste, as my ex has invited 

us for breakfast there Christmas 

Eve morning. I will call 

him to tell him that we have 

house guests so the count is 

now four. He will be happy, as 

we are, to share the holiday 

with everyone who wants to 

be with us. 

And it isn’t about the food, 

it’s about togetherness. 

My mother would turn 

over in her grave if she knew 

we weren’t having the Vigilia 

anymore. But my brother 

is having it, so perhaps that 

would be enough. Todd and 

I will go to his house Christmas 

Eve and enjoy his family, 

his delicious fish dishes and 

be grateful. 

Merry Christmas! 

Here is my recipe for Zucchini 

bread. It will make 

two standard loaves or eight 

small ones. 

— Grease the pans (for standard loaves or ones that accommodate four small loaves), 

then butter and flour them. 

— Grate three small zucchini, yield is about 3 cups. Set aside. 

— In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups of flour, 3 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon 

each of salt, cinnamon and ginger. Set aside. 

— In a separate bowl, beat together for 3 minutes 2 sticks of melted butter with 1 cup 

each of brown and granulated sugars and 4 eggs, one at a time. 

— Add 1 tbsp. of vanilla and the grated zucchini; mix until just combined. 

— Add the flour mixture and stir, making sure not to over-mix. 

— Add 2 to 3 cups of chopped walnuts, stirring just to combine. 

— Turn into prepared pans, and bake until a knife comes out clean. The small pans 

take much less time than the larger ones. 

— Let cool in pans before removing. The loaves will stay fresh for 3 days; or freeze 

until needed. 

Note: investing in the Teflon-coated baking pans that produce four at a time is well 

worth it.
