’til death
do us part
While it may pain some of you to stare down a
graveyard on the cover of this One – not so me.
I’m good with cemeteries. When I was a kid, my
grandmother and I used to walk around St. Mary’s
Cemetery on Lynnfield Street in Lynn and look at family gravesites.
We’d visit the Connolly plot, where my grandfather and several of
my aunts and uncles are buried. She joined them in 1978. Farther up
the hill, behind the huge white crucifix, we’d visit my father’s grave.
Twenty years ago this fall, my mother joined him.
Leading into each Memorial Day, Jansi’s and my ritual is to visit the
two plots and leave some of Salvy Migliaccio’s best red geraniums.
Every year I tell myself not to wait an entire year before going back.
Maybe this year will be different, but probably not.
My friend Shanahan talks about visiting the grave of Harry Agganis
in Pine Grove as a kid. And my friend McDermott and I used to
walk around the old cemetery on Union Street near St. Joseph’s,
where we went to grammar school.
I guess it’s an Irish thing. Death is just part of the story.
Our writer Steve Krause gets it. His piece on the area’s cemeteries is
a fascinating read. He brings death to life, I guess. It’s an art.
And speaking of . . . art is a theme that pops up throughout this
issue, as you’ll read about what the young artists of RAW are up
to. Having worked down the street from the organization since
its inception, you have to be impressed with their work. We’ll also
introduce you to Peabody’s new Black Box theater.
You’ll also be introduced to some pretty interesting people,
including some of the area’s most creative bartenders and one of
my favorite bread makers; and to a bunch of storefront churches in
downtown Lynn – which, I guess, get us prepped for . . .
Cemeteries.

OPEN FOR BUSINESS
A Tradition rises in Lynn
BY GAYLA CAWLEY
Traditional Breads owner Fitzroy Alexander stands in the freezer.
PHOTO BY SPENSER HASAK
Fitzroy Alexander wanted to change
the negative perception people had about
Lynn. That's why he started his bakery in
the city.
Alexander, a Saugus resident who immigrated
to the United States from
Grenada, opened Traditional Breads in
1999. He started with a 1,500-square-foot
manufacturing space in the Lydia Pinkham
building.
“I believe in Lynn,” Alexander said. “I
live, breathe and think of this city every
day even though I don't live in it because
I spend more time here. They always say
home is where your heart is. My heart is in
this great city. I would describe Lynn as a
pearl that is waiting to be polished. It has
all the great qualities to be able to thrive”
He hires only Lynn residents because
he wants to make sure he's giving back to
the community that puts food on his table.
His employees currently about 160 are like
family to him, a work environment he says
is intentional.
“I create opportunities for people to be
successful because their success becomes
my success,” Alexander said. “I am who I
am because of what they do. I wanted to
create an environment where people feel
like they have the same opportunity I was
given.”
That faith in Lynn has been rewarded.
The 53-year-old bought the current
Pleasant Street location in 2004 and
moved into the 110,000-square-foot space
in 2006.
When Alexander was 7 years old in
Grenada, a man named Norman Bodek,
who he considers his father, took an interest
in him and gave him an opportunity to
come to the United States.
After bouncing around, he settled in
the Boston area and became the youngest
member of a commune that practiced
transcendental meditation.
From there, he and a friend raised the
money to start Signature Breads, which
started in Somerville and later expanded
to Medford. The company was a success,
and he cashed out 10 years later to start
Traditional Breads.
The company makes 80 flavors of bread
in at least 200 styles. The bread is partially
baked, about 70 to 80 percent, frozen and
distributed to restaurants and grocery
stores, such as BJ's Wholesale Club and
Market Basket.
“Many people come from another
country to get a piece of the American
Dream and that was the inspiration, and
I still hold it today in my life,” Alexander
said. “My life is very simple. Everything
you see is simplicity. There's nothing
complicated about it. Many people will see
all of this and say how did you do that. I'll
only say God's will.”

LOOKING BACK IN SAUGUS
Major Appleton and the
Lady of the Oven
BY TOM SHEEHAN
One of our
historical
signs in
Saugus, at
Appleton’s
Pulpit,
says: “In
1687 Major
Appleton of Ipswich made a
speech on this rock denouncing the
tyranny of the Royal Governor,
Sir Edmund Andros. A watch
was stationed on the hill to give
warning of any approach of the
Crown officers.”
- Massachusetts Bay Colony
Tercentenary Committee
1630-1930
The sign, 88 years mounted
in the ground, is made of heavy
cast iron, black letters on a gray
surface with a black border.
A second sign, mounted
directly to the rock, says, “In
September 1687, from this
rock, Tradition asserts that,
resisting the tyranny of Sir Edmond
Andros, Major Samuel
Appleton of Ipswich, spoke to
the people in behalf of those
principles which later were
embodied in the Declaration of
Independence.”
Since that time, the site has
been called Appleton’s Pulpit.
It is a three-minute walk from
my house next to the First
Iron Works in America, fully
reconstructed starting in 1948
by Dr. Roland Wells Robbins,
the archeologist who found
the ruins of Thoreau’s cabin at
Walden Pond.
In truth, there is not much
that archeologist Robbins could
unearth at Appleton’s Pulpit if
given the chance. The real story
is not there.
It's just down the street, a
mere 100 or so yards to where
Hull Road runs off Appleton
Street. Historians say that
Appleton fled from the pulpit
when the lookout gave notice
that a troop of Crown officers
had crested the hill just
a half mile from what is now
Cliftondale Square, and within
10 minutes would be at the site.
They were spotted on the slope
of current Central Street that,
back then, was part of a road
that became the Newburyport
Turnpike. I live on Central
Street in a house that was built
in 1742 and once was The
Oyster Inn on that early road.
Appleton, upon alert from
the lookout, scampered for
safety.
The first thing that came to
his mind was a lady just down
the road who had favored him
with a bit of charm; she was a
beautiful maiden and he was a
handsome man.
Olivia Harkness, living
alone in a small house, had, as
some historians say, a dubious
reputation, and a few years
later would possibly have been
subject to a witch trial if some
rumormongers had a say in the
matter.
To historians of a different
school, Major Appleton, English
born, had heard the talk
about Olivia but discounted
it; she was beautiful and that
possibly allayed any suspicions
he might have had.
But that knotty kernel
remained in his mind as he fled
down the path toward the old
turnpike, and a sure way home
to Ipswich where a suitable
hiding place could be found.
Doubts about that successful
flight came when the major
heard a bugle call. He looked
for a quick place to hide; and
there at the front of her small
house was Olivia, beckoning
him to her door.
“Hurry,” Olivia said, motioning
him inside. “The oven,”
she said, “it’s the best place
to hide.” Appleton slid into
that beehive-style oven. But
the knotty kernel of suspicion
remained.
“It’s really the sole place to
hide from the Crown at this
time. Be assured, my goodly
man,” she implored.
And when she began to
close the oven’s iron door
behind him, a serious thought
of survival came upon him. In
quick response, the major slid
the blade of his small knife
onto the latch catch to be sure
he had a way of opening the
door from inside if necessary.
Shortly, there was a bang
at the house door. Olivia said,
“A moment, neighbor, I will be
with you shortly. I am not fully
clothed at the moment.”
A voice outside yelled,
“Open the door. This is a
Crown officer in pursuit of
a treasonous speaker, Major
Appleton of Ipswich. Have you
seen this man?”
Olivia, in her softest voice,
replied, “This minute I am not
properly disposed, captain, but
I will be with you in a short
manner. Please be patient with
me.”
She opened the door and
Appleton heard her say, “Goodness,
captain, a Crown officer
at my door and looking for a
treasonous man. Come, search
my house, my handsome captain.
I am about to light a fire
to bake some bread and beans
with which you might fend off
any hungers you have once I am
finished my chores for the day.”
“Oh, no, madam,” the officer
said, “Not in this house. They
have said that you are twined
with the witches that emanate
from Salem port. I tread no
ground with them, madam. I
bid you goodbye, satisfied that
the treasonous Appleton is not
under your roof.”
In the oven, hearing the fire
start in the fireplace, the bricks
of the beehive oven still warm
from some earlier bake, Appleton
made sure his knife was still
in place to guarantee his escape
from the chamber, even as he
heard Olivia throw on a few
additional logs to the kindling
now at a roar in her fireplace.
When she pushed hard at
the oven door, he slammed back
with his hands and shoved it
open.
Appleton, saved from one
danger, slipped out of the oven
to a second danger. Harkness
said, with all apologies, “Oh,
my goodness, major, I forgot
you were ensconced in my oven.
Oh, woe is me.”
“Oh, woe would have been
me,” Major Appleton said, as
he looked into the fiery eyes of
a witch.
To this day, there are no
other signs or plaques attending
to Major Appleton’s escape
from Crown officers and the
witch-like Olivia Harkness.
History says he did frequently
serve as a judge and assistant
on the Essex County Quarterly
Courts in the Salem witch
trials.
He lived to 70 and lies in
the Old Burying Grounds
in Ipswich, the site suitably
marked.

He has his finger on the pulse
of politics
Lynnfield pollster has been sampling voters for 45 years
BY THOMAS GRILLO
David Paleologos wants
everyone to know pollsters
called the 2016 presidential
race correctly when they
predicted Hillary Clinton
would win.
“The national polls, including ours, that
had Hillary leading were right," he said. "If
you examine the popular vote, which the
national polls record, she won by 3 million
votes.”
The Lynnfield resident and director of
the Suffolk University Political Research
Center should know. He has more than 40
years experience gauging the voters' pulse.
The first poll he conducted was in 1973
for his brother Nicholas “Nick” Paleologos.
The former Woburn School Committeeman
was seeking a seat in the Legislature when
David was in high school with a knack for
numbers.
Back then, he said, polling was complicated.
Voter lists were only available at town
and city halls; every call had to be made by
hand, there were no XL spreadsheets, and
everything had to tabulated by paper.
The poll showed Nick would win and
he did.
"I was just a teenager, but I liked the
predictability piece of polling," he said "I
learned this bellweather model and realized
certain precincts in every race are microsomes
of the district wide vote."
Paleologos, 59, is married to his wife
Gayle and they have two sons. Angelo
David is a 15-year-old Lynnfield High
sophomore, a singer/songwriter, and
keyboard player who began writing songs at
age 8. Arthur, 19, will be attending Harvard
University next fall.
Suffolk and Paleologos recently published
a nationwide survey of 800 infrequent
or unregistered voters, which showed
56 percent of poll respondents said the
country was on the wrong track and nearly
55 percent rated Trump unfavorably. But
83 percent of those polled said they are “not
very likely” or “not at all likely” to vote in
2018.
Former Mayor Edward J. "Chip"
PHOTO BY OWEN O’ROURKE
David Paleologos, Suffolk University Political Research Center director
Clancy Jr. hired Paleologos to poll the race
between him and challenger Patrick J.
McManus in 2009.
“He was very reliable and was known,
even back then, to produce surveys that
were on target,”Clancy said. “He told me I
was a very strong candidate for re-election
and would beat Pat handily. Of course,
Pat died that summer and we never polled
when Judith Flanagan Kennedy entered
the race as a write-in candidate and she
beat me.”
Paleologos said he is most proud of
the poll that put him and Suffolk on the
map: the 2008 presidential primary in New
Hampshire.
“Every poll had Hillary losing against
Barack Obama,” he said. “We had her
winning. But I remember saying to myself
if we're wrong, it will be the end of Suffolk
and my career. But she won by a 39 to 36
percent margin.”ww
One poll Paleologos would like to have
back is the one they did during the 2008
Massachusetts presidential primary. The
client wanted Suffolk to do the survey the
weekend before the primary. But Paleologos
argued they wouldn’t get the right
mix of voters because the New England
Patriots were in the Super Bowl against
the New York Giants.
“We had the Barack Obama winning
slightly, but Hillary won by double digits
and we were wrong,” he said. “I vowed to
never again take a poll over the weekend of
a big game.”
Paleologos won’t say who he voted for
in the race between Hillary Clinton and
Donald Trump. While he’s from a Democratic
family, he’s an Independent voter.
“The secret ballot is one of those cherished
things in our democracy,” he said.

KEEPING
THE
FAITH
DOWNTOWN
Storefront churches
make Lynn
worship central
EBY THOR JOURGENSEN
ven after moving
to East Lynn with
her family, Michelle
Guzman continued
attending a church
in Boston until she
got pregnant and
decided to shorten
her drive time by
shifting the focus of
her faith to a church smack dab in Lynn's
downtown.
“I could drive from East Lynn and be
in church in five minutes," Guzman said.
That was 12 years ago and since then,
Guzman has counted herself among the
faithful worshipping at Casa de Adoracion
on Munroe Street.
The words “church” and “temple”
conjure up images of big stone buildings
with towering spires. But the place where
Guzman found a home for her faith in
Lynn was storefront space on a commercial
and residential street. Across the
downtown area bound roughly by Essex,
Union, Broad and Market streets are
what East Coast International Church
Lead Pastor Kurt Lange estimates are
more than 100 churches.
Many of them are in storefronts

or walkup office space. Munroe Street
alone has 10 churches, including East
Coast, another church founded by African
immigrants and several Spanish-speaking
congregations.
“At one point, there were 12 churches
on this block,” Lange said.
East Coast has occupied 57-65 Munroe
St. since 2010 along with a counseling
center, a center assisting homeless youth,
and Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee. Each
venture is loosely affiliated but it is East
Coast that draws a crowd on Sundays even
as worshippers flock to other churches.
Lange estimates 500 people on average
attend Sunday services that start in late
morning and end in the afternoon. Spiced
with music and videos, the services are,
in Lange's words, “very contemporary
Christian.”
Many East Coast congregation members
are exploring faith for the first time.
Guzman and her family came to worship
on Munroe Street in order to build on
their faith experiences. They found Casa de
Adoracion to be “very family-oriented–a
very loving environment.”
To the casual passerby, most downtown
churches are mere names on doorways
or signs like the one of Universal, a new
church on the corner of Union and Washington
streets that housed a used furniture
store a year ago.
She said downtown churches offer a
variety of faith and worship experiences,
paying rent while offering places to worship.
Lange said one word defines downtown's
attraction for storefront churches:
Parking. It's available on downtown streets,
sometimes Lange admitted, to the dismay
of downtown residents.
Fittingly, downtown Lynn becomes the
backdrop for a public display of worship
unfolding every Good Friday as worship-

pers from St. Joseph's Church on Union
Street parade behind a church member
portraying Jesus carrying the cross.
Beginning on Lynn Common and
winding its way through downtown past
storefront churches, including East Coast,
the procession features dozens of worshippers
in costumes, chanting and singing
and a crowd that follows the procession
through downtown to St. Joseph's.
When it comes to finding usable space
in which to worship, downtown's popularity
is partly a study in contrasts.
Big churches in other parts of Lynn
that were once filled with worshippers
on Sunday now have relatively small
congregations. Central Congregational
Church on Broad Street and Washington
Street Baptist Church are both imposing
stone and wood structures towering over
surrounding neighborhoods.
But changing Lynn demographics have,
in turn, forced them to change with the
times. Washington Street has welcomed
a variety of faith groups into its worship
space on the corner of Washington and
Essex streets and Central Congregational
makes an active effort to urge people
exploring faith to walk into the beautiful
church on Broad facing Nahant Street.
Iglesia Evangelica Luz y Vida's congregation
is based in West Lynn, operating
initially out of a Commercial Street storefront
before worshippers set their sights
on restoring the towering brick church on
South Common Street at Huss Court into
a new faith home.
Lyz y Vida member Osiel Gomez and
his two brothers applied their masonry
experience to rebuilding steps and doing
other work on the former Temple Anshai
Sfard and other congregation members
zeroed in with carpentry, painting, roofing
and other building skills to slowly but surely
restore a building that was a neighborhood
eyesore and fire threat for years.
Built in 1871 and occupying nearly
19,000 square feet at the corner of South
Common and Huss Court, the church and,
later, the temple was once one of Lynn
Common’s grand churches, along with St.
Mary’s, St. George’s Greek Orthodox and
St. Stephen’s Episcopal, Anshai Sfard is
slowly undergoing renovations, including a
new steeple tower roof, brick pointing and
painting.
Kurt Lang, founder and lead pastor of East Coast International Church.

The congregation plans to preserve
the stamped metal ceiling in the former
Sam Levine Chapel and the original pews
upholstered in red cloth are still inside the
87-foot by 74-foot main worship hall with
its towering ceiling.
Luz y Vida's commitment to restoring
one of Lynn's big churches is a challenge
not all congregations can tackle. East
Coast initially made its home in the former
Ingalls School off Essex Street before
moving downtown. Lange said locating
downtown isn't a decision based solely on
providing Sunday worship.
Many congregations run Bible study
programs and leadership training on weeknights
and Sunday services.
“The same people involved in weeknight
activities might well be the ones who
are there on Sundays,” he said.
Casa de Adoracion has relocated to
Peabody but Guzman said downtown
Lynn is a fitting place for churches for
practical and historical reasons. Oxford
Street at Market Street marks the spot
where Mary Baker Eddy’s 1866 icy slip
guided her to prayer, healing and, eventually,
the start of Christian Science.

Stepping
stones to
history
Old cemeteries offer
time travel back to
Revolutionary War
PHOTO BY OWEN O’ROURKE
TBY STEVE KRAUSE
hey're old. Some of them date back to
pre-American Revolution times. They
often look deserted and forlorn.
But there are few plots of land that
offer a better reflection of a community's
history than a cemetery — especially a
historic one with thin gravestones that
don't always stand straight up, and with
the words etched upon them beginning
to erode with the wear and tear of weather.
And therein lie the problems when it comes to our oldest
monuments. How do we preserve them?
“It's very powerful, just being able to have those pieces of
history in your town,” says Andrew Hall, now in college at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, concentrating on
mechanical engineering.
Two years ago, as a senior at St. John's Prep in Danvers,
Hall's mind was on other things. He was a would-be Eagle
Scout from Troop 48, looking for a final project to earn this
prestigious honor. He thought of all the times, from when he
was a Cub Scout in elementary school, when his pack, and, later,
his troop, would march in parades on Memorial Day or Veteran's
Day, and end up at cemeteries. And he remembered going
to those places to mark the graves of those veterans with flags.
“It's a fascinating thing, having some of the same soldiers
who fought to make America what it is, buried in your own
town,” Hall said “It's a 5-minute car ride from your house and
from your school. It's a pretty fascinating experience.”
Lynnfeld's South Burying Ground, first used — according
to the sign on the Salem Street side of it — in 1775.
“But," said Hall, “I saw some graves in there where the
people died even earlier than that.”

A memorial for fallen Peabody firefighters was erected at Monument Park on Wallis Street in Peabody in 1965.
Some of the older cemeteries such as
the South Burying Ground were established
while their towns were still incorporated
as part of Lynn. Another is the
First Parish Cemetery, also known as the
Revolutionary War Cemetery which is
in Saugus Center, on Central and Main
Streets.
The territory that today encompasses
Saugus, Lynn, Lynnfield, Nahant, Reading
and Swampscott was originally called Saugus
but changed to Lynn for King's Lynn
in Norfolk England in 1637.
The oldest cemetery from this territory
20 | ONE MAGAZINE
is the West Lynn Burying Ground, which
was settled in 1629. It was the only cemetery
used by the whole region (including
Lynnfield, Swampscott, Saugus and Nahant)
from the date of its settlement until
the ones now in Saugus and Lynnfield were
established. It is clearly visible today in the
Market Square area of Lynn, and bordering
Elm Street.
According to data collected by the
Lynn Museum, the oldest stone in the
West Lynn Burying Ground dates back to
June 17, 1693. However, many who were
interred there have no stone. According to
the museum, there are 8,000 graves and
only 800 stones.
Lynn has several cemeteries still in use
today, such as Pine Grove, St. Mary's,
St. Joseph's, St. Jean's and Pride of Lynn.
Many, especially Pine Grove, have
graves that date back at least two centuries.
And there are seperate sections of the
cemetery set aside for combat veterans of
almost every war the country has fought.
However, the historical relevance of
some of the older ones no longer in use
today can't be overlooked, such as the
Eastern Burial Ground on Union Street,

near St. Joseph's Church and the Free and
Friends burial grounds off Broad Street and
Friend Street. Most of the 19 stones at that
gravesite belong to Swampscott natives.
While cemeteries in general would
appear to be peaceful places for honoring
our dead, the Friends Cemetery, tucked
among the buildings bordering Broad,
Silsbee and Friend streets in Lynn, has had
a curious history.
Established by Quakers in 1722, it
achieved its notoriety in the mid-1800s,
according to the late David J. Black, a
former veterans-affairs columnist for the
Daily Evening Item in Lynn.
Lynn had a large quaker population at
the time the cemetery was established, and
it was still about 10 percent by 1826, the
city of Boston whose Quaker population
was dwindling and whose own cemetery
was not being used decided to dig up 109
bodies and rebury them in the Friends
Cemetery in Lynn.
Two years prior to that, the second half
of the burial ground complex on Friend
Street was established when the Free Burying
Ground came into being in 1824.
All of the aforementioned were established
before Pine Grove (1850) was established,
first as a private burial ground and
then conveyed to the city four years later.
“The Western Burial Ground is so full
that it is almost impossible to conduct a
burial without disturbing the remains of
another,” said George Hood, who was
mayor at the time.
Some of the most notable
people in Peabody's history
are actually buried in older
cemeteries in Salem. This,
in part, is because before
Peabody was incorporated
as its own city in 1916 it was
part of Salem, and was largely
wilderness and farmland.
These stones were
cleaned and restored
by Andrew Hall
during his Eagle
Scout project two
years ago at South
Burying Ground in
Lynnfield.
Still, former Mayor and U.S. Representative
Nicholas Mavroules is buried in
Cedar Grove Cemetery in South Peabody.
However, Giles Corey, who lived in
what is now Peabody, and his wife, Martha,
were victims of the Salem witch trials.
Corey was pressed to death with stones in
a field that later became Howard Street
Cemetery in Salem. The actual site of
his remains is unknown, and a plaque in
his honor sits in nearby Charter Street
Cemetery.
George Peabody, an internationaly-known
philanthropist and Peabody
native, is also buried in Salem at Harmony

Grove Cemetery, which, today, is located
on the border of the two cities.
Not far from Harmony Grove, tucked
into a small space (comparitive to Puritan
Lawn or Cedar Grove) is Monument
Cemetery on Wallis Street, a few lots
down from Haven from Hunger.
There, you can find some of the older
gravestones in the city, along with commemorative
plaques for Civil War veterans
and Peabody firefighters.
In Oak Grove, which is located in
West Peabody across from Cy Tenny
Park, some of the graves go back to the
early 1800s, as do some of the ones in
Cedar Grove. Also at Oak Grove, there
is a memorial stone for “James Olsen, aka
Jason Nolan. He walked along the gates of
“Checkpoint Charlie,” the crossing point
at the Berlin Wall that separated East
from West during the Cold War.
All this history was fresh in Hall’s
mind when he was looking for an Eagle
project, and his experience with the scouts,
plus his natural affinity for the history
associated with burial grounds, led him to
his project.
“I thought it was interesting,” he said,
“that the cemeteries were so old, and had
veterans from the revolution. They’re rich
in history, but do not have any preservation
efforts in place. So I thought it would
be interesting to record the inscriptions
on the gravestones, and take photographs
of them.”
But one doesn’t just go to a cemetery
especially a 240-year-old one with
fragile tombstones and start brushing and
cleaning the graves. That could be harmful,
according to the Association for Gravestones
Study.
The traditional way of preserving
gravestones was to put tracing paper, or
some other thin parchment, and go over
them with chalk or charcoal. The image
records features such as natural textures,
inscribed patterns or lettering.
Over time, though, the practice of
stone rubbing can cause permanent damage
to cultural monuments due to abrasion.
However, for an artist, stone rubbings
can become an entire body of creative
work that is framed and displayed.
While artists and historians have been
doing gravestone rubbings for ages, they
can be harmful if the stone is brittle. And,
as Hall says, “some of these stones are not
in good shape.” “They’re cracked and they
look very fragile.”
And the force used to recreate them by
tracing and etching could do more damage.
In fact, says the association, care is
Two years ago, Lynnfield Boy Scout Troop 41 did an Eagle Scout project to restore old and
damaged graves at the South Burying Ground in Lynnfield.
even required when cleaning these stones.
Non-corrosive detergent is a must. Better
still, distilled water with a spray bottle is
the best way to start.
This requires patience. Those wishing
to clean stones should always check to see
how stable they are before they start, and
it would also be wise to be up on state and
local laws regarding what’s allowed.
As for the rest, cleaning a stone requires
patience, and a variety of brushes, and even
a toothbrush, to get into the crevices all
while managing not to damage them, says
Dengarden, a home and garden publication.
Similarly, taking a straight-on picture of
a gravestone for posterity might not yield
the desired effect, something the Halls
found out when they tried to record the
grave sites.
“It was recommended to us (by Association
for Gravestones Study) that we take
a full-length mirror and shine it across the
face of the stone,” said Hall’s father, Jonathan.
“If you get the right light, you can
photograph the stone that way and copy it.”
Erosion isn’t the only problem with old,
historic cemeteries.
“They’ve been vandalized quite a bit
too,” said Jonathan Hall.
Hall gained some noteriety for his
project. It was easily approved by the
advancement committee that reviews Eagle
Scout projects. And, of course, he passed
muster at his Eagle board of review with
flying colors.
Hall submitted the project to UMass
Amherst, and it is now a part of the university’s
archives.
“Two years after the fact,” Jonathan
Hall said, “our scoutmaster got a call from
a woman from the gravestone society. Andrew
was nominated, and he received, the
Oakley Award (presented by the Association
for Gravestone Studies).”
The Oakley Award is presented periodically
by the group’s board of trustees to
individuals and groups that help advance
the cause of the association, which is to
preserve the history gravestones represent.
Andrew Hall said that no matter what
he does and where he goes, there will
always be a pull toward the South Burying
Ground in Lynnfield.
“It’s very humbling walking through a
cemetery like that, contemplating your own
mortality, coupled with the history of the
people buried there,” he said. “I think you
learn respect, and to evaluate your life, and
the people who lived years and years before
you. It’s definitely a different experience
than walking down the beach.”

on art
in Lynn
For three decades,
Raw Art Works
launched creative
careers and helped kids
TBY BILL BROTHERTON
hree decades ago,
Mary Flannery
started Raw Art
Works, the first
statewide art
therapy program
for incarcerated
youth. In 1994,
Flannery opened
RAW Space in
downtown Lynn, with Kit Jenkins, executive
director, and a group of passionate art
therapists. All believed that good things
happen when kids feel they are a vital part
of a creative community that truly cares.
RAW offers free programs from painting
to filmmaking for youth ages 7 to 19.
Flannery and her staff believe that all kids
should be seen and heard and that everyone
has a story to tell.
At the start, RAW had 16 kids sign
up. This year, more than 500 area youth
enrolled in programs. To date, thousands of
kids have had their lives enriched by RAW.
With Flannery stepping down from
her leadership role at the end of this school
year, we thought it would be the perfect
time to have alumni describe the impact
she and RAW have had in their lives.

Michael Aghahowa
“I was born and raised in Lynn. I
graduated from Lynn Vocational Technical
Institute in 2013 with a trade in Graphic
Communications.
“I first stepped into RAW the summer
before my freshman year in high school.
Before that I was working with Jason Cruz
(RAW clinical supervisor/art therapist) at
school. He would come to KIPP Academy
as a part of the
Boyz Lync group. My
freshman year, I was
only involved in the
Men2Be group that
was held on Wednesdays.
That was tough
because I didn't have
art classes in school,
so this group was the
only constructed art class I had, and I loved
it, but it was only once a week. It was like
following a TV show and having to wait
the next week to see what's up. So as the
years went on, I joined more and more
groups until my senior year schedule was
filled with RAW Monday-Friday.
“RAW changed my life in many ways.
As a young aspiring artist, RAW really gave
me the tools to express myself and help me
understand why and what I was expressing.
That gave me an artistic voice, because
then I can figure out who I'm talking to
through art. It helped me find a community
of people who are similar in mindset.
The biggest way RAW changed my life is
helping me get to college. I'm the first one
in my family to go.
“I graduated from Montserrat College
of Art in 2017, now I'm working with kids
at The Gregg House, right down the street
from RAW, and I'm creating a professional
career in the arts as a painter/illustrator.
“Mary (Flannery) has always been a
person with a very positive energy and
someone who you can go to for support.
When I graduated and joined the Door-
2Door alumni group, I got to know her as a
fearless risk taker with a sweet eye for color
and design. I can really apply that to her
staff as well. Mary's vision really changes
lives for the better, and I will always appreciate
her.”
Alison Miller
“I’m an alumna and now art therapist at
RAW. I grew up in Lynn and I just bought
a home here. I am also a practicing artist
and active in the community. I went to
MassArt and earned my degree in community
art education. I taught elementary art
in the Lynn Public School system for two
years before returning to school to earn my
master's in art therapy.
“I first came to RAW at 14. I kept
coming back because of the overwhelming
amount of love and
support I received
there. I also was
always so excited
to learn a new art
skill or work with
a new material.
The projects were
always so thoughtful
and made me dig
deep into myself to
find out who I really was. Without RAW
I wouldn’t have gone to art school and I
wouldn’t have found my voice as a young
person. RAW is in my blood. It is a huge
part of who I am. It takes a village to raise
a child, and RAW was part of my village
for sure.
“Mary (Flannery) has always had a
vision of what RAW is now. It has grown
into a such an amazing organization, helping
kids feel safe and heard every day. Mary
knows how to not only engage people in
the arts and have them tell their story, she
also knows how to have fun with them and
really connect.”
Brandon Gorski
“I grew up in Lynn, just 15 minutes
from RAW. I’ve been drawing since age
5, making stories and comics. I graduated
from MassArt in 2009 and have been
working with RAW for 12 years as part of
Door2Door, which is a fundraising team
that works toward making artwork for
RAW’s annual Bash.
“I started attending Adventures in Fine
Arts in 2003 at RAW after school. After
my first session, I was so interested in coming
back, because it felt like real free-range
art making. There
was structure but
also heart; we really
connected as a group
and just had so much
fun. I had always
had an interest in art
and was drawing, but
RAW really showed
me the possibilities of
pursuing the arts.
“How did RAW change my life?
Profoundly. Assisting me in applying for
college alone was unbelievable. They had
my slides for art school photographed,
helped me with college essays and filling

out applications, and also planning trips
to schools. Going through school and still
having them as a resource, and mentorship
of my teachers, I felt so supported.
I wouldn’t be making the kind of art I’m
working on without their influence.
“Mary (Flannery) is one of my favorite
people in the world. She has literally put
a paintbrush in my hand and said 'go';
I wouldn’t be painting had she not been
there in 2003. Words cannot fully express
how thankful I feel to have her influence
and that of her amazing and dynamic staff
in my life.”

Bedelyn Dabel
“I was born in Haiti but grew up in Lynn.
I went to Lynn Classical High School and
now I attend MassArt in Boston. I am
studying Industrial Design, while making
art for social change. Next year will be my
third at MassArt.
“I was a freshman in high school when I
first stepped into
RAW. The first
people I met there
were Bruce (Orr)
and Mary (Flannery).
I was in their
group and they were
full of energy and
passionate about
the arts. What kept
me coming back was the feeling of being
accepted and being able to come to a space
every weekday to connect with others
and make art. I felt safe and my creativity
was able to flow so easily. RAW became a
second-home really fast.
“The place I am in today is because of
RAW. It showed me the possibility of
having art as a career. I was able to think
about the possibility of going to college
because of RAW. A lot of notable people at
RAW helped shape who I am today. These
people are a blessing to my life and they
have helped me in many ways.”
“Thank you, Mary, for bringing the vision
of RAW to life. Many students before me
and after me will forever be grateful for
this wonderful place we call home.”
Kaitlyn Farmer
“I'm a Boston-based college counselor
and youth advocate. In 2015, I received a
BA in Sociology with a concentration in
Human Services from Emmanuel College.
I have been deeply involved with RAW
and the Lynn community for more than a
decade.”
“I first stepped through the doors of RAW
back in 2005, when I was in the sixth
grade. I was looking for a place to belong,
a place for me to be myself, and RAW
quickly became that for me. I joined Studio
Time 2, a middle school visual arts group,
and have been hooked ever since. The artmaking
intrigued me, but it was the sense

of community fostered by the staff that
kept me coming back.
“In my senior year of high school, I took
full advantage of RAW's Project Launch
program and was paired with a volunteer
mentor. This year of my life was transformative.
I was carrying
a lot on my plate for
a young person my
age, supporting myself
financially by working
three jobs. With the
support of RAW, I was
able to earn enough in
scholarships from the
Yawkey Foundation and
United Way to fully fund my educational
dream of attending Emmanuel College
and earning my bachelor's degree. As a
first-generation college student, I knew I
wanted to go to college but had no idea

the amount of work it would take to get
me there. Without RAW's continuous
guidance and support, I doubt I would be
here today. I can say with confidence that
RAW and the doors it has opened for me
have changed my life forever.
“As a RAW alumna and former RAW
Chief, my passion for college access was
inspired by my time with Project Launch.
Now, I co-lead Project Launch, RAW’s
college and career access program. The
opportunity to give back to the Lynn
community and support RAW's youth in
achieving their dreams is the most gratifying
experience; it's come full circle.
“Mary's vision for RAW has inspired so
many young people in our community. Her
welcoming energy and thoughtful planning
have helped make RAW what it is today.
Raw Art Works has provided the youth of
Lynn a place for us to call home. It's Mary

THE
Downtown Peabody's new theater earning applause
BY BILL BROTHERTON
PHOTO BY SPENSER HASAK
The grand building at 22 Foster St. in Peabody is a beehive of activity.
The former U.S. Post Office is now operated by Heritage Industries
and houses ArcWorks Community Art Center. It's a busy place.
Way in the back, past the art galleries, jewelry design workshop and
chair caning business, is the brand new Black Box theater.
Opened in April, Peabody’s Black Box represents a partnership
between Northeast Arc, the city and area business and cultural organizations.
This state-of-the-art space is perfect for theater, comedy,
dance, film, music, poetry and other performances. At 2000 square feet,
it has a capacity of 238.
Tim Brown, director of Innovation and Strategy for Northeast
Arc, said the space formerly served as a warehouse and housed a paper
shredding business.
“The city was looking for a theater downtown. Initial conversations
were three or four years ago. It was quite an undertaking. An old
walk-in safe was transformed into new bathrooms.” The theater can be
rented for community events, corporate meetings, birthday parties and
the like. There's a "green room" and backstage space where performers
can relax. There's a projection booth for movie screenings. The coolest
feature is a catwalk that hovers above the floor. Construction began in
October and was completed in March.
Brown, who has been with Northeast Arc for 27 years, said the
group's improv troupe, drumming circle and theater club are using the
space. Peabody High School performers have set up an acoustic cafe,
and productions of “Love Letters” and the musical revue “Showstoppers”
served as fundraisers. A matching grant from a MassDevelopment
Patronicity campaign help fund renovations.
“We also would like to suggest that the people we serve at Northeast
Arc make excellent ushers, cashiers and would be wonderful employees,”
added Brown.

in full swing, with the purchase of chairs/
stadium seating, lights and sound equipment
a priority. A small piano was bought
from the Lyric Stage theater company, and
new HVAC and electric wiring have been
completed. The space has a load-in door,
rare for a Black Box.
“It's great to be in downtown Peabody.
Businesses are so happy and supportive of
this arts center and the theater, and of our
Breaking Grounds coffeehouse, too,” said
Brown.
“The mayor (Ted Bettencourt), the
business organizations, everyone has been
great. This fits our mission as well as that
of the city.”
There's a mural that grabs your attention
the second you walk into the lobby.
It's Waldo Peirce's “Old Bull Pen,” a 1940

the World. Fully restored, it remains in its
original location.

A gallery shop is open six days a week,
featuring handmade arts and crafts, many
by the people Arc supports.
The Shine jewelry line, made here, is
sold in 10 places, including Peabody Essex
Museum, the Salem Hospital Gift Shop,
the general store at Mass General Hospital,
and the Witch History Museum in Salem.
Northeast Arc's Heritage Caning Co.
has been in business for 60 years. “This is
one of only two storefront caning businesses
still in business in Massachusetts,”
said Brown. One employee, Ron Lavino of
Lynn, recently celebrated his 50th anniversary
with Heritage Caning. A party was
thrown in his honor earlier this month.”
Northeast Arc was founded in 1954 by
parents of children with developmental disabilities
who wanted to raise their sons and
daughters as full members of the community.
By challenging professionals who told
them their children could not be educated
and would not live to become adults, these
parents created the systems that enabled
them to attend public schools, develop
friendships, reside in the neighborhoods of
their choice and to earn a paycheck.
Today it serves some 9,000 persons in
nearly 190 communities.

Dalton
talks
Douglass
Award-winning former
reporter delves
into history-changing
orator's Lynn years
BY STEVE KRAUSE
Tom Dalton believes Lynn does not get
enough love in the history of 19th century
abolitionist Frederick Douglass.
But, says Dalton, author of “Frederick
Douglass: The Lynn Years, 1841-1848,” the
years he spent here were his most transformative.
“He comes here as an unknown, and
left here famous,” said Dalton, a former
reporter for both the Daily Item and Salem

Tom Dalton talks about his book on
abolitionist and one-time Lynn resident
Frederick Douglass at the Lynn Museum.
News. “He comes here as a fugitive slave
and leaves here free, and he became an
internationalist and an independent while
he was here.”
Dalton spoke April 27 in front of a
standing-room-only crowd at the Lynn
Museum during a program that was part of
the festivities to celebrate the 200th anniversary
of Douglass' birth (he was born in
February 1818 in Maryland). The address
was sponsored by Grant Communications
of Lynn.
Douglass' story is remarkable by
anyone's definition. Dalton said that even
among those who didn't sympathize with
the abolitionist movement, Douglass commanded
respect. He was born into a situation
where he never knew who his father
was, and only really ever saw his mother at
night. That was because she was taken to
a different plantation when Douglass was
still a boy, and used to walk the 12 miles
between houses and sneak in so she could
spend nights with him.
“She'd have to leave before sunrise to
get back to her plantation,” Dalton said.
Douglass was never taught to read or
write, but learned on his own — so much
so, Dalton said, that when he was able to
buy his own home in Rochester, N.Y., he
had an extensive library filled with books
“that he actually read, unlike most of us.”

He was not born Frederick Douglass.
That came at least three iterations after his
escape from the Maryland plantation where
he was raised in 1838. His first stop was New
Bedford, where his last name was changed to
Johnson. By then, he'd met his future wife,
Anna Douglass.
Because there were so many people named
Johnson in the community where he lived,
it was suggested that he adopt the name
Douglass.
After he delivered an impassioned
anti-slavery address, he became a much
sought-after speaker on behalf of the abolitionist
cause. And that's what brought him to
Lynn.
In 1841, he was offered a job as an agent
for the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Coalition
and he came to Lynn because it was close to
Boston, where he could establish contact with
William Lloyd Garrison, among the foremost
abolitionists in the country.
Dalton said Douglass wrote his book “Narrative
of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an
American Slave, Written by Himself," while
living on Harrison Court in Lynn, which today
is the main walkway to the commuter rail station
outside of Central Square ("he always lived
near train stations so he could hop on a train
and go where he needed to go," Dalton said).
“It's not a long book,” said Dalton, “but it's
one of the most important ever written.
