in <strong>Peabody</strong><br />

By Leah Dearborn<br />

The Premiere Rap<br />

Battle League, which<br />

began six months ago,<br />

ended the year on a<br />

charged note with a<br />

musical showdown<br />

called ‘Frozen Alive.’<br />

“We’re probably going<br />

to be doing this a<br />

lot longer,” said league<br />

co-owner Daniel Hawkins.<br />

“It’s pretty big.<br />

Hip-hop and rap are<br />

growing more locally.”<br />

VFW Fidelity Post<br />

1011 on Stevens Street<br />

was the venue for Saturday’s<br />

final event of<br />

the year.<br />

Hawkins said the<br />

performances at Frozen<br />

Alive were by artists<br />

from across the state,<br />

as well as two acts that<br />

came from New York.<br />

New Year’s resolutions<br />

Nonprofit credit counseling<br />

agency Take Charge<br />

America offers eight tips for<br />

making and keeping New<br />

Year’s financial resolutions<br />

The New Year has become<br />

an opportunity to commit to<br />

new goals and rekindle hope.<br />

In fact, 40 to 50 percent of<br />

New Year’s revelers raise a<br />

toast to living better, healthier<br />

lives. Yet despite their<br />

optimism on Jan. 1, the majority<br />

end up missing their<br />

marks.<br />

“Many of us come out of<br />

the gate raring to go, but<br />

our enthusiasm quickly<br />

dies because our goals are<br />

too lofty or because we haven’t<br />

established any sort of<br />

plan,” said Mike Sullivan, a<br />

personal finance consultant<br />

for Take Charge America,<br />

national nonprofit credit<br />

counseling and debt management<br />

agency. “You’re<br />

more likely to stick with<br />

your resolutions if you focus<br />

on bite-sized goals, build a<br />

solid plan to achieve them<br />

and celebrate each milestone.”<br />

Sullivan offers eight tips<br />

on making and keeping financial<br />

New Year’s resolutions:<br />

— Review the past year:<br />

Start with a review of your<br />

current financial state. Did<br />

you earn more? Did you save<br />

more? Do you owe less? If so,<br />

take some time to celebrate.<br />

If you didn’t, ask for help.<br />

Talk with a financial advisor<br />

or credit counselor and explain<br />

your goals.<br />

— Make a budget: It’s an<br />

oldie but a goodie – and it’s<br />

at the top of every financial<br />

to-do list because it works.<br />

Take inventory of your income<br />

and spending to get a<br />

sense of necessary expenses,<br />

discretionary funds and potential<br />

savings. Putting pen<br />

to paper will open your eyes<br />

to any worrisome spending<br />

First time participants • Boxing gloves with sign-up<br />

habits and help you make<br />

smarter decisions in the future.<br />

— Automate and simplify:<br />

Take advantage of your<br />

bank’s bill pay feature to<br />

automate recurring payments<br />

like your mortgage,<br />

insurance, cable, utilities<br />

and even savings. In addition<br />

to saving you time each<br />

month, setting up auto payments<br />

helps you avoid late<br />

fees.<br />

— Organize your finances:<br />

The New Year is a perfect<br />

time to get your financial<br />

life in order. Establish<br />

a process and system for<br />

paying bills, review your<br />

credit report for accuracy,<br />

research financial software,<br />

set up auto deposits<br />

and shred old documents<br />

and receipts. This is also<br />

an ideal time to gather and<br />

organize your tax information<br />

for <strong>2016</strong>.<br />

— Save for emergencies: If<br />

you don’t yet have an emergency<br />

fund, now is the time<br />

to build one. Aim to save<br />

enough money to cover three<br />

to six month’s expenses, but<br />

break this big goal down into<br />

smaller milestones and celebrate<br />

each time you reach<br />

one.<br />

— Pay down debt: This<br />

may seem overwhelming,<br />

especially if you have multiple<br />

credit cards, student<br />

loans, car loans, etc. Start<br />

by tackling the debt with<br />

the biggest interest rate<br />

and move down the list from<br />

there. If needed, enlist the<br />

help of a nonprofit credit<br />

counseling or student loan<br />

counseling agency for oneon-one<br />

guidance, an action<br />

plan and assistance negotiating<br />

with creditors.<br />

— Save for retirement:<br />

This is critically important<br />

to your financial health,<br />

but far too few people are<br />

focused on saving for their<br />

golden years. If you haven’t<br />

already done so, evaluate<br />

employer-sponsored retirement<br />

savings plans, or talk<br />

to a financial advisor about<br />

individual retirement accounts<br />

(IRAs). Commit to<br />

saving every month – even<br />

if it’s a small amount – and<br />

work to increase your contribution<br />

over time.<br />

— Make it a family affair:<br />

Don’t go it alone! Enlist the<br />

help of family and friends to<br />

help you stay focused on your<br />

financial goals and priorities.<br />

You can also teach your kids<br />

a new financial lesson each<br />

month, or create savings<br />

goals as family.<br />

Wanted: a ‘dynamic’ superintendent candidate<br />

<strong>Peabody</strong>’s search for a permanent<br />

superintendent has<br />

kicked off with an advertisement<br />

requesting “an experienced,<br />

dynamic educator<br />

with outstanding professional<br />

and interpersonal skills.”<br />

The position, now public<br />

on the Massachusetts Association<br />

of School Committees<br />

(MASC) website, has an advertised<br />

salary of $175,000-<br />

190,000, and the deadline is<br />

Feb. 18. Start date for the<br />

new superintendent is set for<br />

City Council addressed<br />

resident worries about granting<br />

Normandy <strong>Peabody</strong> Acquisition,<br />

LLC a special permit<br />

for a truck terminal at 1<br />

Technology Drive.<br />

David Farrow, a resident<br />

of nearby Quail Road for 40<br />

years, said he was afraid that<br />

trucks coming and going on<br />

Technology Drive will disrupt<br />

the peace in the neighborhood.<br />

“When I received notice<br />

about this meeting my reaction<br />

was, here we go again,”<br />

said Farrow in reference to<br />

noise issues he experienced<br />

with U.S. Foodservice, which<br />

previously occupied space on<br />

Technology Drive. “We want<br />

to continue to enjoy Quail<br />

Road the way it has been for<br />

many years, quiet and a good<br />

place to live.”<br />

Ward 1 Councilor Jon<br />

Turco said he was happy the<br />

item came before the council<br />

as a special permit so<br />

he had a chance to address<br />

misinformation that was<br />

going through the neighborhood.<br />

Turco said the impact<br />

of the incoming businesses<br />

July 1, 2017.<br />

“We’re hoping at the beginning<br />

of the year after holiday<br />

break we’ll see applications<br />

coming in throughout January,”<br />

said committee member<br />

Beverley Ann Griffin Dunne.<br />

Dunne said MASC representatives<br />

are hopeful the<br />

city will be competitive in<br />

its search despite an ongoing<br />

shortage of superintendent<br />

candidates in the state.<br />

Qualifications listed in the<br />

advertisement include state<br />

certification as a superintendent<br />

of schools. A master’s<br />

degree is required while advanced<br />

degrees and previous<br />

superintendent experience is<br />

preferred.<br />

“You’ll get different people<br />

looking at the city for different<br />

reasons,” said Dunne.<br />

“We have a lot of special education,<br />

ESL, school repairs<br />

and building going on. We<br />

want to make sure we get<br />

someone with a broad base of<br />

experience.”<br />

Once the committee receives<br />

a resume for consideration,<br />

that name becomes<br />

public, said Dunne.<br />

New business trucking<br />

down Technology Drive<br />

should be significantly less<br />

than what abutters experienced<br />

with U.S. Foodservice,<br />

which operated seven days a<br />

week and had 200 trucks.<br />

The nearest residents will<br />

be located two football fields<br />

away from the new truck<br />

bays, said Turco.<br />

Matthew Lavell, Senior<br />

Vice President of Normandy<br />

said the property, which<br />

has been sitting vacant for<br />

a number of months, will see<br />

an average of 15 truck deliveries<br />

per day.<br />

Delivery hours are confined<br />

to 7 a.m.-10 p.m. on<br />

weekdays, 7 a.m.-5p.m. on<br />

Saturdays and on an emergency<br />

basis only on Sundays.<br />

Trucks will not be allowed to<br />

run overnight.<br />

Lavell said one of the<br />

new tenants of the building<br />

will be CNE Direct, a data<br />

storage company that was<br />

displaced by a factory fire<br />

on Fifth Street last summer.<br />

“Overall, I think this is<br />

pretty benign use,” said<br />

Ward 6 Councilor Barry<br />

Sinewitz.<br />

She said the committee’s<br />

decision to run the job search<br />

through MASC as opposed to<br />

a private search committee<br />

will help ensure that only<br />

the names of frontrunners<br />

become public.<br />

Interim Superintendent<br />

Herbert W. Levine said he<br />

will not be involved in the<br />

selection process other than<br />

to offer occasional advice if<br />

asked.<br />

Levine said he wants to<br />

continue working in the city<br />

in some capacity.<br />

“I don’t think I ever want<br />

TODAYS DISCOUNT PRICE<br />

to be in a position when I’m<br />

Levine. “I love <strong>Peabody</strong> and I<br />

enjoy working.”<br />

Levine said a superintendent<br />

needs strength of purpose.<br />

“The public will disagree<br />

with you a little more than<br />

you would like,” said Levine.<br />

“You just have to keep moving<br />

on and moving forward.<br />

If you worry about what other<br />

people think, you end up<br />

changing your actions.”<br />

didn’t know of an existing rap<br />

league in the state.<br />

“We wanted to start something<br />

different, start a movement,”<br />

said Hawkins.<br />

Hawkins said he thinks<br />

rap and hip-hop carry negative<br />

stereotypes, but that<br />

they’re unfounded.<br />

“Most of the time when<br />

people hear about these<br />

events, they hear about aftermath,”<br />

he said. “We have security.<br />

At one event we even<br />

had police security to make<br />

sure people feel safe and secure.<br />

We’re here to keep people<br />

entertained.”<br />

Hawkins said that so far,<br />

a number of local businesses<br />

have been very supportive of<br />

the league.<br />

“A lot are beginning to<br />

recognize we’re really doing<br />

something for the community,”<br />

he said.<br />

The league is planning another<br />

event in January at the<br />

Holiday<br />

Our Christmas perspective<br />

changes throughout life<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<br />

of Aleppo’s remaining children<br />

are located. They are holding on<br />

to 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.<br />

My mother went to the hall<br />

closet and pulled out this big<br />

box and said, “Santa told me<br />

to put it in here until you got<br />

up from bed.” I accepted that<br />

story as only a six or seven<br />

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, coalmining<br />

daddy and mom were<br />

able to buy that for me. I was<br />

so happy. It seemed like I<br />

had just gotten everything<br />

in the world for Christmas.<br />

A few days later one of my<br />

relatives was visiting our<br />

home and he was admiring<br />

my white electric guitar. He<br />

didn’t make a lot of money<br />

but admired my gift and<br />

later commented that it was<br />

hard to buy many Christmas<br />

gifts on $20 a week. I felt a<br />

little bad about my beautiful<br />

guitar and sad for him. This<br />

was back in the day when<br />

decent money was $125 a<br />

week. Looking back I can<br />

now see more clearly that<br />

his perspective was that of a<br />

struggling adult.<br />

I enjoyed that feel of being<br />

a little child. I didn’t worry<br />

about healthcare. I didn’t<br />

worry about having food to<br />

eat or paying the bills. I didn’t<br />

worry about sickness or life’s<br />

longevity. I was free to enjoy<br />

the child’s perspective of<br />

Christmas. Today as adults we<br />

are hammered with the harsh<br />

realities of life. We deal with<br />

the daily grind of life that includes<br />

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<br />

America where so much of<br />

what we enjoy is almost a miracle<br />

every day. With all that we<br />

see and hear about in Syria and<br />

so many other troubled places<br />

in the world surely to just sleep<br />

and live in peace has to mean<br />

everything to all of us. I think<br />

this is something we grow into<br />

in America. The news tonight<br />

about little children hiding in a<br />

basement in Aleppo fearing for<br />

their lives was heartbreaking.<br />

They hold onto hope of their<br />

lives being spared and maybe a<br />

better day. However, a night of<br />

peace and rest is almost inconceivable<br />

to them.<br />

Whatever you have this<br />

Christmas, cherish and respect<br />

it. Thank God for everything<br />

you have. The perspective<br />

of everything we<br />

have changes throughout life<br />

from a five-year-old child to<br />

someone barely holding on<br />

to life in a nursing home or a<br />

family huddled together in a<br />

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 />

more than happy to answer any questions you might have about generic drugs<br />

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

Tanners rebound to defeat rival Danvers<br />

By Matt Fraser and Gordon Vincent<br />

PEABODY — It’s been said that “the<br />

most effective way of utilizing human energy<br />

is through an organized rivalry;” a<br />

belief that rang true in the <strong>Peabody</strong> boys’<br />

basketball team’s 62-56 win over visiting<br />

Danvers on Monday evening.<br />

In a physical contest from start to finish,<br />

the Tanners picked up their first victory of<br />

the season. Junior Estrella (16 points, 11 rebounds)<br />

and Moisse Irizarry (14 points, 10<br />

rebounds) recorded double-doubles while<br />

fellow senior Matt D’Amato poured in 14<br />

points as well.<br />

“That’s exactly the kind of hard-fought<br />

game you expect when these two team’s<br />

get together,” said coach Thad Broughton,<br />

whose team bounced back exactly as he’d<br />

hoped they would after a season-opening,<br />

68-47 loss, at Lynn Classical. “I was interested<br />

to see how they would respond. All I<br />

wanted was an intense effort and the guys<br />

gave me just that.<br />

Irizarry totaled six of his points in the<br />

opening quarter, helping the hosts to a<br />

14-8 advantage after eight congested minutes,<br />

which left both teams in foul trouble.<br />

Following a three-pointer from <strong>Peabody</strong><br />

senior Jake Doherty at 4:36, neither team<br />

would score again, over a span of 2:28.<br />

Despite outscoring the Tanners by a 13-9<br />

margin in the ensuing period, the Falcons<br />

failed to find any kind of sustained in flow<br />

in the half, committing a number of ugly<br />

turnovers along the way.<br />

Edward Vaillancourt totaled six of his<br />

14 points in the quarter, including consecutive<br />

baskets by the 2:39 mark before Sean<br />

Rooney’s triple from the right wing at 2:05<br />

gave the visitors an almost improbable,<br />

19-18 lead given their possession problems.<br />

Rooney finished with a game-high 18<br />

points while Tahg Coakley tacked on 11<br />

for Danvers.<br />

Estrella would answer back with a field<br />

goal at the 1:40 mark before the team’s<br />

traded trips to the free throw line, leaving<br />

the hosts ahead by one (40-39) at the break.<br />

The lead would change hands four<br />

times early on in the second half until<br />

<strong>Peabody</strong>’s Junior Estrella sets up on defense as a Danvers play tries to figure out what<br />

to do.<br />

Vaillancourt was whistled for a technical<br />

foul after staring down sophomore Chris<br />

Canela after a vicious block of the latter’s<br />

three-point attempt at 5:11.<br />

“That’s just the nature of the game. I<br />

thought it was an extremely physical game<br />

but a clean one. Tonight could have gone<br />

either way. (Rooney) was dynamite, but<br />

our guys really hung in there. We were all<br />

over the floor. There was a great energy in<br />

the building tonight.”<br />

From there, <strong>Peabody</strong> seized the momentum,<br />

beginning with a coast-to-coast<br />

finish from Estrella, giving the Tanners a<br />

(30-28) lead that they wouldn’t relinquish.<br />

Moments later, the 6-2 guard, who finished<br />

with 10 points in the period, splashed in<br />

a wide open three-pointer from off of an<br />

inbound play at 3:46.<br />

Despite his best individual efforts and<br />

12 points (all by way of the three-ball),<br />

Rooney’s attempts to play the spoiler card<br />

were more than offset by the fourth quarter<br />

work of D’Amato and Canela, who combined<br />

for 16 points, including seven of<br />

nine total from the latter.<br />

Against Classical, <strong>Peabody</strong> had no answers<br />

for the Rams’ speed and quickness.<br />

Trailing by eight points early in the<br />

second period, Classical (1-1) shifted into<br />

a higher gear and ran away from <strong>Peabody</strong>,<br />

68-47.<br />

Rams’ Sophomore Jaylen Johnson led<br />

all scorers, with 21 points. Classical’s<br />

Gilbert Minaya contributed to the win with<br />

10 points. Erick and Edwin Solis had nine<br />

points each for the Rams in the win.<br />

D’Amato paced <strong>Peabody</strong>, with 14 points,<br />

while Estrella added 13 for the Tanners.<br />

“It’s the first game, and I’m sure there’s<br />

a lot we’re going to have to evaluate,”<br />

said Broughton, the former St. Mary’s and<br />

North Adams State star. “But give all the<br />

credit to Lynn Classical. They’re a great<br />

team and they played great tonight.”<br />

Two free throws by D’Amato with 6:54<br />

left in the second quarter gave the Tanners<br />

a 24-16 lead, but the Rams made an adjustment<br />

by picking up the tempo and running<br />

out on fast breaks. Classical closed the half<br />

with a 20-3 run, with Minaya scoring eight<br />

points, while Edwin Solis chipped in with<br />

six points and three assists.<br />

“I’m not sure if you saw, but Edwin<br />

threw three touchdown passes in the first<br />

half,” said Classical head coach Tom<br />

Grassa. “It wasn’t really a defensive adjustment<br />

we made, it was more of an offensive<br />

adjustment.”<br />

Leading by nine points at halftime, the<br />

Rams opened the second half with a 6-2<br />

run, on layups after run-outs by Johnson<br />

and Minaya. A 3-point play by Johnson<br />

upped the lead to 52-38, and put the Rams<br />

in total command at the end of the third<br />

quarter.<br />

“They were playing an excellent 3-2<br />

zone, and they made it tough for us to get<br />

off good shots when we were in our halfcourt<br />

offense,” Grassa said. “So we tried<br />

to advance the ball before they could set<br />

up their defense, even after they made a<br />

basket.<br />

“We don’t have a lot of size, but our<br />

strength is when we get out and run.”<br />

The Tanners reached only as close as 13<br />

points in the fourth quarter, the last time<br />

when Jonell Espinal sank a 10-foot jumper<br />

from the left elbow with 3:50 left in the<br />

game. The Rams scored the next six points,<br />

a run which included another easy layup by<br />

Johnson and a bucket by Dyrrell Rucker.<br />

Jonathan Nicosia’s 3-pointer from the left<br />

wing with 1:23 left helped the Rams pull<br />

away in the closing minutes as Classical<br />

sealed its first victory of the season.<br />

Broughton said the Tanners will aim to<br />

improve while crediting the Rams for a<br />

strong performance.<br />

“We’ll get better,” Broughton said.<br />

“I thought we worked hard, but Lynn<br />

Classical is just a fantastic team.”

Tough start for Tanner girls<br />

By John Madigan<br />

DANVERS — Two straight<br />

losses is not how the <strong>Peabody</strong><br />

girls basketball team planned on<br />

entering the <strong>2016</strong>-2017 season.<br />

With a 58-43 loss to Danvers<br />

Monday night, Stan McKeen’s<br />

Tanners dug themselves in a hole<br />

early in the year as they dropped<br />

the last two North Eastern<br />

Conference matchups including<br />

a 20-point loss to Lynn Classical<br />

in their season opener last Friday.<br />

Digging a hole is exactly what<br />

they did between the first three<br />

quarters of Monday night’s game.<br />

However, with the help of their<br />

shooters late in the contest and<br />

a little full-court press, <strong>Peabody</strong><br />

closed to within seven of Danvers<br />

midway through the fourth<br />

quarter, but that was as close as<br />

they would get.<br />

<strong>Peabody</strong> was led by Melissa<br />

Gray, who scored a game-high<br />

15 points, while Alyssa Alpern<br />

contributed 12 points, aided by<br />

a perfect 6-6 night from the free<br />

throw line.<br />

Meanwhile, Danvers spread the<br />

ball out across the floor allowing<br />

four Falcons to score in double<br />

digits, led by Siobhan Moriarty,<br />

who led the pack with 14 points.<br />

In the first quarter, the Falcons<br />

jumped out to a 13-6 early lead<br />

on the strength of their ability to<br />

shoot the outside ball. However,<br />

<strong>Peabody</strong> forward Liz Zaiter<br />

showed her strength in the post<br />

as the Tanners went to her often<br />

in the final two minutes of the<br />

quarter. She brought down three<br />

offensive rebounds in one series<br />

that ended with a score. On<br />

the next possession by Danvers,<br />

Zaiter kept up the pressure,<br />

blocking two shots from Falcon<br />

FILE PHOTO<br />

Melissa Gray scored a game-high 15 points in the Tanners’ loss to<br />

Danvers last week.<br />

guard Nicole White to preserve<br />

the four-point deficit. Despite the<br />

tough defense played by <strong>Peabody</strong><br />

late in the first quarter, Moriarty<br />

hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to<br />

give Danvers a 16-9 edge heading<br />

into the second quarter.<br />

<strong>Peabody</strong> head coach Stan<br />

McKeen went into the game no<br />

knowing Danvers’s offensive<br />

scheme, so he was unsure what<br />

style of defense he wanted to run.<br />

Laying low in the first half with<br />

a standard man-to-man defense,<br />

McKeen’s Tanners were unable<br />

to stop the disciplined Falcons<br />

half-court offense, despite their<br />

efforts in the first quarter.<br />

“We didn’t really have a<br />

scouting report on them so we<br />

were not sure how to press them<br />

early on. We waited a little bit too<br />

long and got down too far,” said<br />

McKeen.<br />

Danvers took full advantage<br />

with Moriarty and captain Julia<br />

McNulty combining for 17 points<br />

in the first half to lead Danvers to<br />

a 37-21 lead going into halftime.<br />

Much of the 16-point advantage<br />

was a direct result of Danvers<br />

dominance on the offensive glass<br />

as they had multiple second<br />

chance opportunities in their own<br />

end. The Falcons finished with<br />

a huge edge on the boards, the<br />

Tanners 49-32.<br />

McKeen said he would have<br />

liked to see some of that great offensive<br />

rebounding displayed on<br />

his side of the court as he was displeased<br />

with his team’s effort on<br />

the offensive glass, referring to<br />

their first half offense as “one and<br />

done,” when it came to shooting<br />

in each possession. Zaiter, a sophomore,<br />

was a bright for <strong>Peabody</strong>,<br />

as she anchored the boards with a<br />

team-high eight rebounds.<br />

<strong>Peabody</strong>’s struggles continued<br />

in the third quarter as it began to<br />

run into foul trouble.<br />

Wallace entered the second half<br />

with three fouls, which hampered<br />

her not only in terms of play time,<br />

but in effectiveness on the defensive<br />

side ot the ball.<br />

Luckily for <strong>Peabody</strong>, the<br />

Falcons had an off night at the<br />

free throw line, shooting a mere<br />

56% (17-30).<br />

Despite the slow offensive<br />

start, <strong>Peabody</strong>’s captains took<br />

over on offense for their team in<br />

the fourth quarter as they desperately<br />

needed it. Alpern and Katie<br />

Wallace knocked down backto-back<br />

three-pointers to cut the<br />

deficit to 10 at 47-37, while their<br />

full-court press was running on all<br />

cylinders. Alpern drilled another<br />

three-pointer at the four-minute<br />

mark that capped a 9-0 run to cut<br />

the deficit to 47-40.<br />

However, that would be the<br />

closest the Tanners would come<br />

as as they were forced to intentionally<br />

foul Danvers down the<br />

stretch as time wound down.<br />

While Danvers made only four<br />

of 10 attempts down the home<br />

stretch, it was enough to walk<br />

away with the win.<br />

“We did a good job getting<br />

back, however we dug ourselves<br />

into such a big hole it was too<br />

much to get out of,” McKeen<br />

added.<br />

Against Classical Friday night,<br />

Gray, Wallace and Kristina<br />

Rossignol led the offense with six<br />

points each.<br />

“Not really too much to say<br />

about the Classical game as we<br />

played poorly from start to finish,<br />

had too many turnovers and no<br />

rebounding,” McKeen said. “A<br />

very weak effort all the way<br />

around.”<br />

<strong>Peabody</strong> will look to earn their<br />

first win of the season tonight at<br />

Beverly. Tipoff is 7 p.m.<br />

Fenwick girls off to hot start in title defense<br />

ROUNDUP<br />

The state champion Bishop<br />

Fenwick girls basketball team’s<br />

quest for another state title is off<br />

to a great start with wins in its first<br />

two games of the season. After<br />

opening with a 66-33 win over<br />

Medford Dec. 14, the Crusaders<br />

made it two in a row with a<br />

52-41 win over conference rival<br />

Cardinal Spellman last Monday.<br />

Against Spellman, the<br />

Crusaders trailed by one at<br />

halftime, 20-19, but turned on<br />

the offense in the second half,<br />

outscoring Spellman 33-21 to<br />

secure the win. Guards Sam<br />

Mancinelli (6 assists, 5 steals),<br />

a senior captain and Jaxson<br />

Nadeau (4 rebounds. 5 steals)<br />

had 13 points each, while forward<br />

Jennie Meagher (9 rebounds, 3<br />

assists, 2 blocks) had 11. Fredi<br />

DiGuglielmo (6 points, 5 rebounds,<br />

2 assists, 2 blocks), Liv<br />

DiPietro (4 points, 7 rebounds)<br />

and Elizabeth Pica (5 points,<br />

4 rebounds) also contributed.<br />

Fenwick shot 57.1 percent (16-<br />

of-28) from the floor inside the<br />

3-point arc.<br />

Against Medford, the Crusaders<br />

were paced by Nadeau, who<br />

was the team’s leading scorer<br />

with 17 points and three steals.<br />

DeGuglielmo and Liv DiPietro, in<br />

her first varsity start, also turned<br />

in solid games. DeGuglielmo<br />

was a defensive force with eight<br />

steals and also tossed in 12<br />

points, seven assists and four rebounds,<br />

while DiPietro had seven<br />

points, three rebounds and a steal.<br />

Mancinelli (9 points, 6 rebounds,<br />

4 assists) and Meagher (9 points,<br />

7 rebounds) also contributed to<br />

the winning effort.<br />

“It’s always nice to get that<br />

first win,” Fenwick coach Adam<br />

DeBaggis said. “It’s a good<br />

feeling for a coach when you win<br />

and you know you have things<br />

to work on. It’s much better than<br />

losing and knowing you have<br />

things you need to work on.”<br />

DeBaggis credited his team for<br />

playing a strong defensive game.<br />

“We played really good defense,”<br />

he said. “We got out to a<br />

good lead in the first half and it<br />

was a good game for us.”<br />

first game,” said Fenwick coach<br />

work on our execution on defense<br />

time. It was a good effort to open<br />

Despite slow start, girls hockey still upbeat<br />

By Matt Fraser<br />

WINTHROP — It’s never easy starting<br />

the season 0-3, but optimism still abounds<br />

for the <strong>Peabody</strong>/Lynnfield co-op girls<br />

hockey, which continues to show noticeable<br />

signs of improvement as it strides<br />

toward changing the landscape of the<br />

Northeastern Hockey League.<br />

Despite being shutout on Saturday afternoon,<br />

a 2-0 loss to Winthrop/Lynn/Saugus<br />

at Larsen Rink, second-year head coach<br />

Michelle Roach is confident that wins are<br />

coming.<br />

“Certainly, we’re disappointed with the<br />

loss but at the same time, we’re seeing<br />

plenty of progression,” she said. “It’s not<br />

an easy, early season schedule for us, with<br />

Melrose (2-1) and Masconomet (4-1) before<br />

today, but where we are at right now<br />

compared to where we were last year, it’s<br />

almost like a different team.”<br />

<strong>Peabody</strong>/Lynnfield’s three-zone effort<br />

on Saturday was a testament to that belief,<br />

particularly in the defensive zone, where<br />

freshman goaltender Jenny Collins of North<br />

Reading shined in her first varsity start with<br />

32 saves.<br />

“I was very happy with what I saw out<br />

of her today,” said Roach of Collins, who<br />

took over in in net after sophomore Abby<br />

Buckley (of Lynnfield) played the previous<br />

two games. “In terms of style, (Collins) is<br />

a bit more of an aggressor, which allowed<br />

for some big saves. I’m looking forward to<br />

seeing more of her.”<br />

Bulldogs’ coach Anthony Martucci,<br />

whose line-up features one of the premier<br />

net-minders in the conference, if not the<br />

state, in senior stalwart Gretchen Howard,<br />

echoed Roach’s praises.<br />

“For her to see and stop that many pucks<br />

in her first start, and with such poise, is<br />

pretty impressive. (Roach) seems to have a<br />

stable of strong goalies over there. Maybe<br />

she can lend us one next season?”<br />

Special teams play proved the difference<br />

in terms of scoring as Winthrop’s ever-dangerous<br />

power play unit, scored twice<br />

in a span of just 1:16.<br />

The Tanners were whistled for a pair<br />

of infractions, the latter with 28 seconds<br />

left in the first period, giving Winthrop a<br />

two-man advantage.<br />

PHOTOS | MARK GRANT<br />

Lynnfield/<strong>Peabody</strong> goalie Abby Buckley makes a save against Melrose with Mae Norton (18) and Hanni Aylward (10) helping out.<br />

Winthrop needed just five seconds to<br />

capitalize.<br />

Kelsie Griffiths found her way to the left<br />

post off of a faceoff win from Mia Price<br />

before tipping in a perfectly placed pass<br />

from Sydney Adamson.<br />

With a clean sheet of ice to work with,<br />

the Winthrop, still on the power play, doubled<br />

the lead 53 seconds into the second as<br />

Price found the back of the net, with help<br />

from Griffiths and Bella Perrotti.<br />

“They’re a strong team and you can’t<br />

keep going into the penalty box and hope<br />

to win,” said Roach, whose own power<br />

play finished 0-3.<br />

It wasn’t until the 2:50 mark of the middle<br />

frame, when senior captain and defenseman<br />

Caroline Buckley of Lynnfield landed<br />

just the third shot on net, that <strong>Peabody</strong>/<br />

Lynnfield started to show some life offensively.<br />

Shortly thereafter, North Reading<br />

sisters Sammy and Cassie Mirasolo got<br />

in on the action with a couple of scoring<br />

chances before the end of the period.<br />

A shift in momentum was apparent in the<br />

finale where, after being outshot 15-5<br />

through two periods, the Tanners doubled<br />

their total by the 11:02 mark, including<br />

a pair of bids from Jammie Mirasolo,<br />

who elected to fire on consecutive 2-on-1<br />

rushes.<br />

A blazing rush down the left wing before<br />

a cut to the middle from Buckley led<br />

to a shot at 4:35 before Howard came up<br />

with a pair of 10-bell saves from the seat of<br />

her pants at 1:34 on Sammy Mirasolo and<br />

Lynnfield senior captain Elise Murphy,<br />

respectively.<br />

<strong>Peabody</strong>/Lynnfield finished with 14<br />

shots in total.<br />

“We tend to be a bit too passive in the<br />

offensive zone which has lead to us not<br />

being able to find the back of the net,” said<br />

Roach of the Tanners’ scoring deficiencies.<br />

“We’re engaged in all of these games and<br />

working hard but we need to find a way to<br />

solve this scoring problem.”<br />

Even still, the hard work the Tanners<br />

have put in is making a strong impression<br />

on the opposition.<br />

“I’ll tell you this much,” said Martucci.<br />

“This (<strong>Peabody</strong>/Lynnfield) program has<br />

come a long, long way since I took over<br />

here. They continue to get better and they<br />

give us a good fight each and every time<br />

we see them.”<br />

<strong>Peabody</strong>/Lynnfield’s next game is not<br />

until next Wednesday against Quincy/<br />

5:15 p.m.<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 />
