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.

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

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

a lot worse,” Davis said.

“It was a great job by everyone

Retailers are all in on the holidays

From page 1

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

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.

As a 40-year resident of

supporter, I am writing to urge

my fellow residents to support

the upcoming School Building

Project that overwhelmingly

passed at the Nov. 21 Town

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

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

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

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

Sharon Marrama guides Lindsay Squadrito through some yoga basics.

• Encourages Visualization

• Promote Kind Interactions

• Enhance Body Awareness

• Teaches Discipline and

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

happy holiday season

come together when there is a

need.

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.

Michael Garabedian

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

FILE PHOTO | ANNE MARIE TOBIN

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

and delivery

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.

WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 9

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.
