All in on the holidays
By Thor Jourgensen
LYNNFIELD — MarketStreet stores
are rolling out holiday attractions to
offset an underwhelming Black Friday
and hoping consumers will embrace
the season spirit and shop.
In Lynnfield, the parking lot at
the Christmas Tree Shop was eerily
empty for much of the traditional after-Thanksgiving
shopping day compared
to past Black Fridays. The silver
lining for shoppers in the store was
there was virtually no waiting in line
to check out.
MarketStreet shoppers were also
conspicuously absent compared to
years past when the mere thought of
just making your way around the rotary
inside the entrance to the shops would
be nightmarish at best.
Even at the Apple Store, which usually
has lines around the corner of the

plan vote
set for
Dec. 8
By Anne Marie Tobin
LYNNFIELD — The town will
decide the fate of a proposed debt
exclusion to fund the $17 million expansion
of the town’s two elementary
schools on Tuesday, Dec. 8 in a townwide
special election vote at the high
school.
The polls open at 7 a.m. and close
at 8 p.m.
The expansion project calls for
the addition of 10 classrooms to the
Huckleberry Hill and Summer Street
elementary schools to accommodate
what is projected to be an unprecedented
spike in the town’s elementary
school enrollment by the year
2024-2025.
Town Clerk Linda Emerson said
that residents who requested ballots
“for all elections this year” will receive
ballots.
“There is no in-person early voting
for this election,” Emerson posted
on the town’s website. “If you want
a ballot to be mailed to you please
complete a request or send a letter,
make sure to sign your request, and
drop it in the outside drop box or mail
it to town hall.”
The deadline for returning completed
ballots to the Patriotic Drop
Box on the parking lot side of the
Town Hall was Wednesday, Dec. 2 at
5 p.m.
The expansion project also calls
for other improvements, including
additional parking and improved
traffic flow at both schools; upgrades
to athletic fields; a new playground
area at the Summer Street School,
and a full-size gymnasium at the
Huckleberry Hill School.
The anticipated cost to taxpayers is
$205 over the next 20 years.

Meeting convened at Lynnfield
High to approve the project. The
town overwhelmingly approved
it in a landslide vote, 386-17,
well above the two-thirds supermajority
threshold needed for approval,
to set up the Dec. 8 debt
exclusion vote.
After the results of the
vote were announced, Kate
DePrizion, president of
Together We Can, an organization

expansion project, said she took
great pride in the way Lynnfield
responded.
“I am so proud of Lynnfield

education,” she said. “I
think it speaks loudly to the
amount that the vote passed by,
and I am just so happy. But our
work still isn’t done. We still
need to work to make sure the
voters know why they need to
vote for this,” she said.

LYNNFIELD — An early
morning, two-alarm fire on
Thanksgiving Day caused significant
damage to a one-story
home on Bishops Lane.
“The first arriving company
was Engine 1 out of the South
Lynnfield fire station,” said
Lynnfield Fire Chief Glenn
Davis, adding that the company
reported heavy fire on arrival
and requested a second alarm.
Davis said he arrived on the
scene shortly after that and
found heavy fire throughout
the attic. Thankfully, the homeowners
— a husband and wife
and their dog — were already
out of the house.
“They were all out and accounted
for and the crews did
a great job with an aggressive
interior attack and were able
to control the fire,” Davis said.
“There was a lot of damage and
the home was burned all the
way across and there also was
a lot of damage to the interior.”
Davis said the fire was under
investigation by the state fire
marshal, the state police and
the Lynnfield police, which is
routine.
“We do that for every fire
(because) I just don’t have an
internal investigative unit,”
said Davis. “Right now, it looks
accidental, but at this point in
time. I don’t know. It’s too early
for me to comment just yet.
That will be up to the insurance
company and the state fire marshal,”
adding that the state fire
marshal and Lynnfield police
were on the scene investigating.
The fire started outside the
garage shortly after 6:30 a.m.
and burned its way into the residence.
Davis said the fire spread
into the attic with heavy smoke
and fire throughout the home.
“When we did our initial interior
and looked around to see
what we have, then pulled down
the attic stairs, and we had heavy
fire from end to end throughout
the attic, so we knew we had

Friends and neighbors gather with the residents of 6 Bishops

and their dog, made it out of the home safely and were waiting

Davis said the homeowners
had already been contacted by
the Red Cross and were getting
assistance, but they likely
“would be displaced for a
couple of days.”
“Fortunately, they were awake
and found it (the fire) and didn’t
get woken up in the middle of
the night, so it could have been
a lot worse,” Davis said.
“It was a great job by everyone
involved and there were
no injuries, we just are trying to

building, there were only a
handful of customers waiting to
get in by early afternoon.
At MarketStreet’s AT&T
store, there were only three
customers inside around noon
Friday. Assistant manager Joel
Aviles said the store had no
lines and minimum wait times
for customers to be serviced.
“It’s definitely less busy, so
it’s pretty astonishing when
you look around and see that
shoppers are not out,” he said.
“I think we are doing better online,
for certain, as it seems that
more people are afraid to come
out. Pre-COVID our sales were
awesome with a lot of traffic.
Even with early sales, it’s definitely
a different landscape this
year.”
At the Booty by Brabants
boutique, a store greeter said
that lines to get into the store
formed early, but gradually leveled
off in late morning with no
waiting at all.
“We had lines, but, even so,
going by what I see, there is still
plenty of room in the parking
lot,” the greeter said. “The
lot right here (pointing to the
spaces in front of the building)
was practically empty until the
last hour.
“I mean, you would think
that to have such a warm day
in the end of November would
bring people out. It seems that
at the indoor malls, people are
walking around every day.
I have to think that with the
number of shoppers being down
compared to what you normally
see on a Black Friday, people
just are finding that online
shopping is easier.”
Paper Store greeter Katherine
Martinez, a junior at Lynnfield
High School, said the atmosphere
felt more like an “ordinary
Saturday” as opposed to
what Black Friday normally
feels like.
“It really hasn’t been crowded
at all, certainly not as busy as I
thought it would be,” she said.
“At times, it feels like there’s
no one here and even the traffic
isn’t bad. When I came in for
my shift at 9, there was no one
here. We’ve had steady customers,
but I’m hoping it picks
up in the afternoon.”
Martinez said the store’s online
pickup is active, pointing
to a slew of packages piled high
just inside the front door.
Merchants hope consumers
intent on offsetting COVID-19
gloom by embracing the holidays
will shop online or flock
to stores.
The Associated Press reported
a growing number of
people on a quest for joy have
bucked tradition and gone
full-on Christmas weeks earlier
than they normally would.
Self-described early decorator
Christine Shaievitz of
Lynnfield said her family’s holiday
labor of love took on extra
significance this year following
months of pandemic life.
Her Sherwood Forest neighborhood
home features an
11-foot tall artificial tree; a
Christmas village, and the
kitchen’s transformation into
holiday mode.
“Everything is green and
red,” she said.
Brandon Stephens, president
of the professional holiday
decorating company Christmas
Decor, said early business is up
15 percent to 20 percent compared
to the same period last
year.
Orders came in as early as
April — for April, he said. The
company’s franchises serviced
more than 43,000 homes and
businesses last year around the
country and expect a jump to
about 52,000 this year. Most of
the early activity is residential.
“We knew that it was kind of
an emotional response. People
were looking for hope. People
were looking for something to
feel good about while cooped
up in their houses,” he said.
“Lots of folks are not traveling
for the holiday so they are celebrating
at home.”
Decorating early allows
more time to enjoy the holiday
spirit and injects, Shaievitz
said, much-needed goodwill
and cheer into the year’s end.
“Taking the time to enjoy it is
more important than ever,” she
said. Three of her four children
are adults, but Shaievitz’
10-year-old helps haul out the
decoration boxes and pitches in
on the tree assembly. Shaievitz
condensed a video of the 12-
hour tree decoration process
into a 45-second clip. She
caught the decorating bug from
her mother who started decorating
on Thanksgiving night.
That connection to holiday
family rituals is important, said

Peabody native Kelly
Valaskatgis is one of those shoppers
merchants are counting on
to see stores through the holiday
season.
A Connecticut resident visiting
family for Thanksgiving,
Valaskatgis was waiting outside
the Paper Store for her mother,
Grace Goffredo, to come out.
“I’m not shopping but my
mother is,” said Valaskatgis.
“She comes here often as she
lives in Peabody. I think we
were surprised that there haven’t
been any lines to get in
today.”
Business was booming at the
Northshore Mall in Peabody
despite the shopping center’s
strict precautions. The lot was
full by the end of the day, and
lines of people formed at the
few entrances that were open.
In all, there was a 10-minute
wait to get inside.
Guards at the door were letting
five people in for every
eight who exited the mall, and
by dark, all the entrances and
exits were open again.
Not only were there lines to
get in, but many stores were
also counting people. As a result,
there were many stores
with lines snaking up the aisles.
The longest line was at Bath
and Body Works and PacSun (a
clothing store).
Also showing long lines
were Pink, Game Stop, Journey
to Kids, Victoria’s Secret,
American Eagle, Tilly’s,
Aeropostale, Abercrombie and

A teacher urges a “yes” vote
To the editor:
“Who was your favorite
teacher and why?”
This question is one many
of us can answer; likely “your”
teacher is beloved for the way
they connected with you and
made you feel, not the content
they taught. Nurturing staff and
student relationships is critical
for our students, especially
given today’s extraordinary
times. There is overwhelming
evidence that small class size
yields short and long term benefits
for students. As a lifelong
educator, “give kids what they
need, when they need it” is exactly
what we strive for each
and every day for our kids.
Nearly every school in the
nation is prioritizing social
emotional learning. Why? The
next generation needs skills
that include the “ability to acquire
and effectively apply
the knowledge, attitudes, and
skills necessary to understand
and manage emotions, set and
achieve positive goals, feel
and show empathy for others,
establish and maintain positive
relationships, and make
responsible decisions”. Small
class sizes are paramount in effectively
teaching these skills,
in addition to more traditional
academics. Teachers are able
to give students more attention,
support, encouragement and
time when classes are smaller,
not larger. Students must feel
safe to take risks, ask questions
and seek help in order to grow
and achieve their goals.
I implore you to vote “yes”
on Dec. 8 for our school expansion
project. (I bet your favorite
teacher would agree…). Our future
citizens will be better for it.

To the editor:
As a 40-year resident of
Lynnfield and avid community
supporter, I am writing to urge
my fellow residents to support
the upcoming School Building
Project that overwhelmingly
passed at the Nov. 21 Town
Meeting.
What a beautiful site it was
to see all of those young families
spread out on the high
school football field supporting
this endeavor. Now we need to
seal the deal and vote “yes” on
Tuesday, Dec. 8, to approve the
financing for this project.
It was 20 years ago when I
stood before Town Meeting (as
a grassroots member of Vote
Yes) under the leadership of
then-Selectman Bob Whalen
and School Building Chairman
Al Merritt to ask voters to support
a school building project.
The success of that project
has brought us to where we
are today with one of the toprated
school systems in the
Commonwealth. Along with
the addition of Market Street,
Lynnfield is the premier “place
to live”. As a Realtor, I know
first-hand, what these successes
have done for our community,
I was grateful in 2001 when
I was a young parent asking

voters to support a school
building project and happy to
see town residents had the foresight
to know that a top-rated
school system is key to keeping
our town strong and viable.
Today, I am a grandmother
with three generations living
in town, and once again I ask
the voters to support the school
building project, knowing its
importance and value to our
community.
Please join me in voting
“yes” on Dec. 8.

Yoga and children’s health
By Sharon Marrama
Yoga originated in India more
than 5000 years ago and is a
combined practice of physical
and emotional exercises that
can create inner-peace.
As children develop a knowledge
of a yoga practice, they
become more mindful, aware,
open, honest, they learn to
listen to and trust their natural
instincts as they begin to
learn how to create emotional
balance.
The controlled breathing of
an advanced practice is introduced
slowly to children, we do
after all take more than 20,000
breaths per day. Teaching
children to breathe in a more
mindful manner is what creates
a sense of inner harmony.
I begin with the basics of inhaling
and exhaling, explaining
that when we inhale, we activate
the part of our brain that becomes
energized and when we
exhale, we activate the part of
our brain that becomes relaxed.
As we walk around in daily
life and everything is within
our normal we do not even feel
nor think about our breath. The
minute something happens to
upset that inner peace we feel
it in both our body and mind
and that disrupts the mind/body
balance.
Implementing a calm
breathing technique can restore
a sense of calm. I often prompt
my yoga students to take in
good feelings or thoughts (positive)
and purge bad/sad (negative)
feelings. This is the first in
a series of steps used as a route
to emotional well-being.
Yoga Alliance states that
there are many benefits of children’s
yoga, including:
• Enhances Concentration
• Increases Self –Esteem
• Teaches Present Moment
Awareness/Mindfulness
• Cultivates a Peaceful and
Relaxed State of Body and
Mind
• Provides Tools for Stress
Management

Ditch the fossil fuels
to lower the bills
By Todd Woody
Bloomberg News
Whether you want to reduce
the greenhouse gases your
home produces or lower the
cost of your utilities, a heat
pump might seem like a good
idea. Here are some important
factors to consider before you
make a purchase.
The most commonly installed
are air-source heat pumps,
which resemble air conditioner
units that sit outside your house.
During winter, a liquid refrigerant
in a copper coil extracts
heat from the atmosphere as
warm air naturally moves toward
the cold. The heat transforms
the refrigerant into a
cold gas and a compressor then
pressurizes the gas, raising its
temperature and heating the air
inside the house. The reverse
happens in hot months, when
heat inside the house is absorbed
and transferred outside. That’s
increasingly useful in temperate
areas of the U.S., where people
typically don’t have air conditioners
but are being hit with
climate-change-fueled heat
waves.
In the U.S., air-source heat
pumps are especially wellsuited
to the Southeast and the
West, where winters tend to be
mild. Claire McKenna, a senior
associate at the nonprofit
Rocky Mountain Institute, says
technology improvements now
allow heat pumps to operate effectively
even in cold climates.
But in regions where temperatures
routinely drop below zero
degrees Celsius, they’ll need
to be equipped with a heated
coil to provide extra warmth
on frigid days. That would consume
more electricity.
One alternative is a geothermal
heat pump, which
extracts heat from the Earth.
Geothermal heat pumps cost
$10,000 to $25,000_a lot of
that is the expense of digging
trenches for the necessary underground
pipe system_but they
can reduce energy costs by 70
percent. Regardless of the type,
you’ll need to decide whether
you want to use your home’s
existing air ducts or install a
so-called ductless system, in
which heater units are placed in
individual rooms. A heat pump
will warm your house as well as
a fossil fuel furnace, though its
efficiency decreases in colder
climates.
Since heat pumps transfer
heat from one place to another
rather than generate it through
the combustion of fossil fuels,
they’re up to four times more
efficient than a natural gas furnace,
depending on the local
climate, according to a Rocky
Mountain Institute analysis.

Whether you want to reduce the greenhouse gases your home
produces or lower the cost of your utilities, a heat pump might
seem like a good idea.
Equipment and installation
costs typically run from $4,000
to $12,000 for an air-source
heat pump, depending on the
size of the pump, the brand,
and whether you use a ductless
system.
That compares with $2,000
to $6,000 for a gas furnace, but
the U.S. Department of Energy
estimates that a heat pump can
lower a homeowner’s energy
costs by hundreds of dollars a
year. Meanwhile, a study published
in October in the journal
Nature Energy found that
houses with heat pumps get a
premium of as much as $17,000
on average when they sell. The
environment also benefits: A
2018 paper published in the
Electricity Journal found that
air-source heat pumps could
reduce household greenhouse
gas emissions from heating in
California by as much as 54
percent.
The cost savings from a heat
pump will go out the window
if your windows and doors are
leaky and your walls aren’t well
insulated; the same goes for
your ducts. Before installing a
pump, hire an energy auditor
to detect and plug leaks. The
size of the pump depends on
a home’s energy demand_you
don’t want to spend more
money on a bigger unit just to
keep a drafty house warm.
The federal government offers
a tax credit of up to $300
for Energy Star-rated air-source
heat pumps, but it expires on
Dec. 31, 2020. Qualifying geothermal
heat pumps are eligible
for a 26 percent tax credit if
they’re installed before Jan. 1,
2021. The tax credit declines to
22% for systems that come online
between Dec. 31, 2020, and
Jan. 1, 2022. Some states also
offer incentives for air-source
heat pumps, such as a rebate of
as much as $1,500 in Maine, 0
percent financing and rebates in
Massachusetts, and a $1,000 rebate
in New York.
“The biggest barrier right
now to adoption of heat pumps
is contractor readiness,”
McKenna says. “I hear time and
time again from people who
have talked to five contractors
and only one is willing to install
a heat pump. The lack of competition
drives up costs.” Shop
around, and check to see if your
utility or state rebate program
lists recommended installers.
Northeast Energy Efficiency
Partnerships publishes a guide
to choosing a contractor and the
questions you should ask.
There are air-source heat
pump water heaters. Another
option is a device called a desuperheater,
which can funnel
excess energy from a geothermal
system to a water tank.
A 50-gallon heat pump water
heater costs about $1,300 compared
to $500 for a conventional
water heater. Heat pump
water heaters qualify for a
$300 federal tax credit, and the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency estimates that a typical
household will save $330
in annual energy costs. States
and utilities also offer rebates
for heat pump water heaters_
California utility Pacific Gas &
Electric Co. gives customers a
$300 rebate. The state this year
approved a $44.7 million program
to promote the adoption
of heat pump water heaters,
which could reduce residential
greenhouse gas emissions from
heating water as much as 70
percent, according to the 2018
Electricity Journal study.

Letter to the editor
School expansion plan is a chance to grow together
To the editor:
On Saturday, Nov. 21,
Lynnfield held a Special
Town Meeting to vote on the
Lynnfield School Expansion
Project. The support for this
project was overwhelming and
passed with nearly 96 percent
in favor.
On behalf of everyone involved
in the effort to encourage
attendance and “yes” votes at
Town Meeting, we thank you.
Thank you to everyone who
took the time to attend this
meeting. Town Meeting was
step one in the process and
we need your support again
on Tuesday, Dec. 8, when this
issue moves to a ballot vote.
Let’s once again show our
strong support and commitment
to high quality schools with
a “yes” vote at the polls next
Tuesday. Doors will be open
at the High School gym from 7
a.m. to 8 p.m., and we look forward
to seeing you there.
Some of you may be familiar
with Together We Grow. We
are the advocacy group that has
worked to raise awareness and
build support for the elementary
schools’ modest expansion.
More than that, we are a group
of mothers and friends that
came together when we saw a
challenge facing our town. The
four of us met through our children’s
preschool over the past
several years. While we come
from different backgrounds,
we are united in a strong way –
we all moved here to offer our
children the kind of life and
public education that can only
be found in Lynnfield.
This year our children participated
in a pandemic-friendly
outdoor yoga session with
Lynnfield’s beloved Miss
Sharon. During one yoga session,
Kate asked us if we knew
much about the overcrowding
in the elementary schools. Each
of us had heard about it and
knew that the town had been
working to solve the issue, but
that was about the extent of it.
She asked if we wanted to learn
more and help spread the word
about the upcoming Special
Town Meeting.
From Kate’s front yard, with
our children practicing yoga
a few feet away, Together We
Grow was born. We heard from
the dozens of Town officials
that have spent the last two and
a half years analyzing data and
looking for ways to solve our
overcrowding issue. We dove
into the facts and asked any
question we could think of and
helped offer answers to any
questions that we thought our
fellow residents might have.
We spoke to town leaders
from the past several decades,
some of whom were involved
with the Middle School expansion
project that occurred
in town 20 years ago. Most of
these leaders had a similar message:
Lynnfield is very smart
when it comes to these matters.
Residents of all ages see the
value in a strong school system
and will support this. They were
right.
Perhaps most importantly,
we reached out to our networks
– mothers, fathers, friends,
teachers and neighbors and
began to spread the word and
encourage everyone to learn
more about the project and to attend
the Special Town Meeting.
As we looked around that football
field on Nov. 21, it proved
what everyone who had done
this work before us advised –
Lynnfield residents will always

Happy Hanukkah
We wish all our customers a very

There were families of children
young and old (many of
those children were also in
attendance), parents who no
longer have students in the
system but understand its importance,
Lynnfield Public
Schools alumni, teachers and
senior citizens.
We won’t get bogged down in
the need for this expansion because
the need is clear. This is a
need and not a want. The numbers
speak for themselves. The
elementary schools are both at
capacity.

Committee has explored every
possibility – building an entirely
new school, moving the
Lynnfield Preschool out of
Summer Street School, applying
for State grants to fund
the project, and utilizing space
in the Central Office’s building.
Taking all of the steps short
of expansion did not solve the
problem; the only feasible option
is to expand both elementary
schools.
We are grateful to everyone
that has engaged in this effort.
You attended Special Town
Meeting, you delivered yard
signs, you emailed, texted and
called friends to raise awareness
and time and time again
you answered this call to action.
We already know that the
vast majority of residents agree
with this need but the work is
not done. We must get out and
vote on Tuesday, Dec. 8. Our
community is strongest when
we take care of its youngest residents.
They are our future.
Thank you for everything
you have done so far and we
will see you on Tuesday, Dec. 8
at Lynnfield High School for a
“yes” vote for school expansion.

Shapleigh commits to double up at Endicott

After initially considering playing softball at the Division I level in college, Lynnfield senior Chloe Shapleigh (center) instead chose to commit to Endicott College
so she could play both softball and ice hockey for the Gulls.

high school hockey with the Peabody/Lynnfield/North Reading
co-op team.
Open for take-out

By Mike Alongi
Committing to play a sport at
the collegiate level is a big deal
in and of itself. Committing to
play two sports is a whole other
level.
Such is the case for Lynnfield’s
Chloe Shapleigh, who made
her future plans known when
she committed to play both ice
hockey and softball at Endicott
College following graduation.
Shapleigh chose Endicott not
only because of its proximity to
home, but also because of the
feeling she has when she’s on
campus.
“My sister went to Endicott as
well so I’ve been on the campus
a bunch, and I always felt that I
could see myself going to school
there,” said Shapleigh, a senior
at Lynnfield High. “I originally
wanted to go somewhere far
away for school, but over the
past year I’ve really switched
and decided that I wanted to be
closer to home. I just had a certain
type of feeling whenever I
was at Endicott, and that’s a big
reason why I chose to go there.”
Shapleigh competes for the
Pioneers on the softball diamond
and for the Peabody/Lynnfield/
North Reading co-op team on
the ice.
But the decision to play both
sports wasn’t always on the table
for Shapleigh. In fact, it wasn’t
until after she started playing
for Peabody/Lynnfield/North
Reading her junior year that she
rediscovered her passion for the
game.
“When I left my club team
and joined my school team,
something really changed,” said
Shapleigh. “I don’t know if it
was the coaches, my teammates
or just the thought of competing
for my school, but I really fell
in love with hockey all over
again and I just knew that I had
to continue playing for as long
as I could.”
That renewed drive pushed
her to reach out to Endicott
women’s hockey coach Andrew
McPhee to get her name out
there. Shapleigh says it wasn’t
until McPhee saw her out on the
ice with the North Shore Wings
that she got an offer.
“He just said he loved the
way I played the game and how
much of a team player I was,”
Shapleigh said of McPhee.
In softball, Endicott coach
Katie Bettencourt was familiar
with Shapleigh from coaching
her at Polar Crush Softball since
she was in eighth grade. While
Shapleigh had always planned
on playing Division I softball,
Endicott’s call was hard to
ignore.
“She knows my game well
and she said that I’d be a great
fit on the team,” said Shapleigh.
“Based on how I was feeling
about the school and then the
potential to play both sports,
everything kind of just fell into
place.”
As for her immediate plans,
the time has come to prepare
for her senior hockey season
that will begin on Dec. 14. The
Northeastern Hockey League
— of which Peabody/Lynnfield/
North Reading is a part — has
announced plans to play a 14-
game, in-conference season this
winter.
“I’m just going to go out
there and be grateful for every
game I get to play, no matter
what,” said Shapleigh. “We all
saw how easy it was for our
season to get taken away last
spring, so we just want to do everything
we can to stay safe and
get as much out of our season as
possible.”

Klonsky commits to Denison basketball
By Mike Alongi
As she approaches the start
of what will be her final season
of high school basketball,
Lynnfield senior Grace Klonsky
made her future plans known
when she announced her commitment
to play college hoops at
Division III Denison University
in Granville, Ohio following
graduation. Denison initially
got on Klonsky’s radar — and
Klonsky got on Denison’s radar
— thanks to former Lynnfield
coach Peter Bocchino, who
reached out to the school on her
behalf and sent out her tape.
“Coach Bocchino had a list of
schools that he wanted to send
my tape out to, and Denison
was one of the first ones who
responded back,” said Klonsky.
“They loved my tape and told
me that I’d be a great fit there,
and it was just really great to feel
like a team really wanted me.”
The recruiting process was
changed dramatically for
Klonsky due to COVID-19
pandemic, with visiting schools
and programs made much more
difficult by travel restrictions.
Luckily for her, she did get an
opportunity to visit Denison
eventually — and she fell in love
right away.
“I thought that recruiting
would be a whole lot harder
than it was, to be honest, but
there were still challenges,” said
Klonsky. “It was really just a lot
of Zoom calls with coaches and
things like that, visiting campuses
wasn’t really happening
very much. When I did get an
opportunity to visit Denison, I
fell in love with the campus. I
really felt like it was a place I
wanted to be.”
On the court, Klonsky is
coming off of a junior year in
which she was starting at point
guard for the Pioneers, was
named a team captain and was
named a Cape Ann League All-
Star. Her 2019-2020 highlights
included hitting a buzzer-beating
layup to upset Masconomet back
in January.

Lynnfield senior Grace Klonsky (right) has committed to continue her basketball career at Denison University next year.
Klonsky continued that momentum
right into the summer
and fall seasons despite the
pandemic, playing AAU basketball
with North Shore Sports
Academy (NSSA) Blizzard.
“I spent a lot of time over the
summer and fall working out
with a couple of trainers and
continuing to keep myself in
basketball shape,” said Klonsky.
“Playing AAU and getting in all
those workouts is something I
hope will benefit me as we go
into this upcoming season.”
In addition to basketball, she
suited up for the Pioneers on the
field hockey team this past fall.
Lynnfield played a shortened
season and finished with a 4-4-2
record.
“I felt like we as a team were
really adaptable and we really
grew over the course of the
year,” said Klonsky. “We struggled
at first, but by the end of
the year we were playing great
and it was awesome to see our
growth.”
Now, with the start of the
basketball season just over two
weeks away, Klonsky is ramping
up her work on the court to be
ready for one more season of
Pioneers basketball.
“Over the past couple weeks,
I’ve been playing more and
more basketball,” said Klonsky,
whose AAU team just wrapped
up its playoffs. “I couldn’t be
more excited for this season,
and I think the key is to just be
grateful for every day we get to
go out there and play.”
Mallett sharing his vision with Endicott athletics
By Mike Alongi
LYNNFIELD — Bryan
Mallett has enjoyed the art of
filmmaking ever since picking
up the hobby as a freshman in
high school. In just five short
years, the Lynnfield native and
Endicott College freshman has
taken his hobby from a fun
thing in high school to a legitimate
path toward a career, as
he is now the primary videographer
for the Endicott athletic
department.
“I was specifically looking for
a place that was close to home
and a place where I could do
media for athletics, and Endicott
really checked all the boxes,”
said Mallett, who graduated
from Lynnfield High. “I ended
up reaching out to (Endicott photographer
for Communications
and Marketing) David Le and he
said that they would love to have
me on board, and everything
took off from there.”
While Mallett had his eye on
Endicott for quite some time
prior to attending, Endicott had
its eye on Mallett as well.
“We had actually seen a bunch
of Bryan’s work on Instagram
before he even decided to
come here, and David and I

Lynnfield native and Endicott College freshman Bryan Mallett has found his comfort zone as the
primary videographer for the Endicott athletic department.
were very impressed with his
work,” said Shawn Medeiros,
Sports Information Director at
Endicott. “Everything kind of
naturally came together from
there and Bryan really was off
and running once he got here.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has
put something of a damper on his
first semester of video work with
Endicott, as the Gulls haven’t
competed in any varsity sports
this fall. But Mallett has still
remained busy, putting together
edits of the football team’s practices
and finding other ways to
use video to get buzz around the
athletics department.
“I have nothing but great
things to say so far, it’s really
been fun,” said Mallett. “The opportunities
that I’ve gotten have
been great and working with so
many talented people has been
really interesting.”
“Our coaches have just been
absolutely gushing about the
work Bryan has done so far in
terms of what it’s done for recruiting,”
said Medeiros. “We
even heard that a friend of one
of our coaches, who works
in the ACC (Atlantic Coast
Conference), said that Bryan’s
work is ‘ACC-level quality.’”
Mallett has also continued to
create edits that don’t involve
Endicott, including putting together
videos on his Instagram
— BMalMedia — about the
World Series, the NBA Playoffs
and various Patriots and NFL
games. He’s even had his work
retweeted on Twitter by another
local — Saugus native
and Endicott alumnus Jared
Carrabis, who covers the MLB
for Barstool Sports and has more
than 314,000 followers. Carrabis
even sent him a direct message
and talked about Mallett’s work.
“That was pretty crazy because
I’ve been listening to and
following those guys for a long
time,” said Mallett. “To see that
he liked my work enough to
share it out to all of his followers
and then talk to me about it was
really cool.”
Despite not being able to
shoot live games at the moment,
Mallett has thoroughly enjoyed
his first semester at Endicott —
especially getting to collaborate
with the other 10 photographers
on the staff.
“The collaborative environment
is the best part,” Mallett
said. “You can reach out to
anyone and they’ll help you out
or work out ideas with you, and
it’s been a huge help in a lot of
ways.”
As for what’s next, Mallett is
looking forward to the release of
a couple of edits he’s done for
Endicott in the near future. He
also hopes to expand his video
capabilities once the Gulls get
back to athletic competition.
