So, what is it, exactly, that you’re reading?
What is One?
Well, Three Dog Night sang that One is the loneliest number (Google it, you of
the millennial persuasion), which may or may not be true. In this case, One is a debuting
magazine that celebrates life and interests of those living near Route 1 where routes
128 and 129 converge.
Number One
Lynn, Lynnfield, Peabody and Saugus.
Who and what define these cities and towns? Well, flip through these pages and
you’ll see.
You’ll read buzz about musicians and beekeepers; about the public-address
announcer for the Celtics and a troupe playing Shakespeare alfresco; about a sellers’
market and places with plenty of things to eat (long a favorite pastime of mine); and
about an elected official who many know scoops ice cream, but maybe not about his
affinity for Broadway musicals.
It’s a region defined by a leaning tower, an orange dinosaur, and a giant cactus.
Big, bold, brash. Urban, suburban. Rich and rich in history.
In thinking about what’s in the middle of it all, I’m reminded of an episode of
Seinfeld when Kramer referred to the intersection of First (Avenue) and First (Street)
in Manhattan as the “nexus of the universe.”
At the nexus of the One universe is a barber shop, located pretty much as noted in
our tag line: on Route 1 at intersection of 128 and 129. And as much as things change
(Boston restaurants Davio’s and Gaslight and Boloco where once was half of an
18-hole golf course), barber Dick Blaisdell can prove that things stay pretty much the
same. Dick can tell you that decades ago he began cutting the red hair of a kid named
Shanahan. He still cuts his hair, but it is now entirely white – which is what happens
when you grow up to be chairman of a media group that publishes this magazine.
Enjoy the first One.

ON THE CUTTING EDGE
LYNNFIELD
By Paul Halloran
Dick Blaisdell has been cutting
hair at the Western Barbershop
for a half-century and has
owned the shop for 40 years.
The Western is known as a
place to get a good haircut at
a reasonable price, but that’s
not the only reason Blaisdell
has a steady stream of loyal
customers sitting in his chair.
Blaisdell gives Tom Holland a trim.

ONE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016
Located at the intersection of routes 1 and
129 in Lynnfield, the Western is the epitome of the
old-school barbershop, a place to talk sports and solve
the world’s problems. More important, it is a place
for generations of friends to check up on each other,
with Blaisdell as the chief purveyor of information.
Think of it as a human version of Facebook –
without the utterly annoying copy-and-paste-thison-your-wall
nonsense.
“This is like a central point,” Blaisdell says.
“People who come in here know me and know
that (the barbershop) is a way of communicating
through me.”
Rick Comfort is Blaisdell’s lifelong friend
and former teammate and coaching partner.
“Everybody wanders into that barber shop,” says
Comfort, who founded Lynn Youth Hockey with
Blaisdell in 1970. “He is a link for all of us.
He’s the glue that connects everyone.”
A trip into the cozy confines of the Western is
akin to a visit to a sports museum that has separate
wings for Old West memorabilia (large John Wayne
picture) and miscellaneous collectibles (license plates
and fire helmets).
“People bring me all kinds of stuff and I hang
it up,” Blaisdell says. “I’m running out of room.”
While Blaisdell has a variety of sports memorabilia
in his shop, hockey is most definitely the theme.
Bobby Orr gets top billing, with no fewer
than three photos of the greatest hockey player
that ever lived adorning the walls. But there are also
autographed photos of Bruins legends Milt Schmidt
and Johnny Bucyk. There is even room for a signed
photo of one of the best Canadiens of all time,
Maurice “Rocket” Richard.
There are enough hockey sticks hanging to
play at least a 3-on-3 game, and a few bags of ice
from neighboring Donovan’s Liquors would probably
be enough to cover the penalty-box-sixed waiting area.
There are leather hockey gloves, a helmet and a
goalie mask.
On another wall hangs a framed receipt from the
old Musinsky’s sporting goods store in Lynn dated
2/20/62. One pair of hockey gloves: $2.80.
There is an autographed photo of professional
golfer Bruce Fleisher and, naturally, there is a story
behind that.
“I cut his hair the week of the Senior Open at
Salem Country Club (in 2001),” Blaisdell says, “and
he ended up winning the tournament.” Later that
year, a friend of Blaisdell’s introduced himself to
Fleisher at a tournament in Florida, and the golfer
fondly remembered his trip to Western. The signed
photo arrived in the mail shortly thereafter.

Lest you think Blaisdell is one-dimensional in
his non-barbering interests, he gives one customer
a three-minute history lesson of Fort Sewall in
Marblehead and the important role it played in
the War of 1812, providing shelter for the USS
Constitution as it was being pursued by a pair of
British frigates.
“It’s a great place to visit, it’s free and nobody
knows about it,” Blaisdell tells the man, who vows
to check it out.
Blaisdell never imagined his work history would
include 50 years in the same spot, but he is perfectly
content to be where he is. After graduating from
Lynn English in 1960, he worked at the A.C.
Lawrence leather company in Peabody. That was
about the time the leather industry started to decline,
so Blaisdell decided to enroll in barber school
“I could always cut hair,” he says.
He worked at a shop in Medford until he got his
master barber’s license, and was hired in 1966 by
Western Barbershop owner Larry Brewington, who
had opened the shop a year earlier. Blaisdell became
a partner and ultimately bought the business.
In a cruel irony, Blaisdell, a hockey lifer, was
never able to play for Lynn English. He suffered
from severe asthma and couldn’t participate in any
strenuous activity in the cold. Legendary English
coach Ben “Red” Foote always liked him, however,
and later hired him as his JV coach.
After high school, Blaisdell found an inhaler that
allowed him to get back on the ice and he played in
local amateur leagues for more than 20 years,
often on the same line as Comfort.
“I had 100 fights and Blaisdell started 90 of
them,” Comfort jokes.
In addition to starting Lynn Youth Hockey and
coaching the Jets, the top bantam team, for many
years, Blaisdell and Comfort coached together at
Pickering Junior High and at Lynn Classical for the
1986-87 season. The Rams hadn’t won a game in six
years and they didn’t win any that year, but “we got
two ties,” Blaisdell shares.
“Dick was a great motivator and always positive
with the kids,” Comfort says. “He was a real asset.”
Blaisdell and his wife, Mary Ellen, have been
married for 53 years. They have three adult children:
Patricia Casale, who has been working at the Western
with her dad part-time for more than 20 years, Janet
Bernaiche and Jodi Figler. Dick and Mary Ellen take
a yearly cruise.
It is natural to wonder if a 73-year-old guy who
has been working in the same job for 50 years is
thinking about retirement. “No,” is Blaisdell’s simple,
yet demonstrative answer. Then he expands.
“I’ve always kept myself in decent shape,” he says,
despite a plethora of hockey injuries. “I’m always
working. The doctor told me to keep moving and
I walk every day.”
Besides, Blaisdell says, “If I ever walked away
look at all the people I’d miss,”
And all the people who would miss him.l

Ar de triomphe
By Gayla Cawley
ArcWorks, a program of Northeast Arc, is all about inclusion
and opportunities for people with and without disabilities.
Paul Ouellette is taking full advantage of his opportunities.
Ouellette, a Lynnfield resident, has been participating in the
ArcWorks program for about a year. He started with the Heritage
Caning Co. before moving into the Shine jewelry program,
according to Elise Snow, product design manager for Heritage
Industries at ArcWorks.
Ouellette has become so proficient at all aspects of the
bracelet - and necklace-making process, he has been hired
by Patsy Kane, a Marblehead jeweler, to produce
braided bracelets.
“I like making jewelry,” Ouellette says. “I like the
way it turns out in the end. I see jewelry in a new
light now.”

Ouellette is able to do his work
for Kane, three hours a week, from
the ArcWorks site.
“I’m starting to get the hang of it,”
he says. “I’m not perfect at it but I’ve
come a long way since I started.”
Snow says working at Shine for the
past year “gave Paul confidence to
pursue other opportunities.”
The ArcWorks Community Art
Center began in 2004 to provide
artistic opportunities to people with
disabilities and defines itself as an
inclusive art center, serving artists
and viewers of all talents, skill levels,
interests and backgrounds. It started
with monthly guest workshops and
exhibitions of work by artists
with handicaps at the
Gallery@Southside.
In 2011, the ArcWorks
Community Arts Center was
established at its Foster Street
location in Peabody to provide
artistic opportunity for people
with and without disabilities.
Founded in 1954 by
the parents of children with
developmental disabilities who
wanted to raise their sons and
daughters as full members of
the community, Northeast
Arc serves more than 9,000
people from 190 cities and
towns. Its mission is to help
people with disabilities become full
participants in the community, by
choosing for themselves how to live,
work, socialize and play.
“When we bring about change
for people with disabilities, we bring
about change for everybody,” says Jo
Ann Simons, CEO of Northeast Arc.
ArcWorks features rotating curated
and juried exhibitions in its gallery,
monthly classes and workshops and
the Gallery Shop, where a variety of
handmade items by regional artists
are sold.
One of the lines featured in the
Gallery Shop is handmade Shine
Jewelry, which is crafted by people
with disabilities at the center.
Susan Ring Brown, director of
development for Northeast Arc,
says participants make the beaded
jewelry out of materials such
as metal, leather,
crystal, ceramic,
glass and wood.
The Arc operates the Autism Support
Center North of Boston and Shine
was commissioned to create autism
awareness bracelets for it.
Shine Jewelry is also sold at
Peabody Essex Museum Gift Shop,
Salem Farmer’s Market, and Scribe
Paper & Gift, among other places.
“It’s another employment opportunity
for folks with disabilities to develop an
income and work skills,” says Brown.
The Gallery Shop also features
handmade items from artists of all
backgrounds, including wooden bowls,
pottery, hand-painted silk scarves,
greeting cards, stained glass, decorative
magnets, jewelry, leather desk

part of ArcWorks’ Shine Jewelry program.
“I like making jewelry,”
Ouellette says. “I like the
way it turns out in the
end. I see jewelry in a new
light now.”
accessories, metal craft, bird houses
and coasters, Brown says.
The art center also includes
Heritage Caning Company, another
Northeast Arc business employing
people with disabilities.
“To our knowledge, we are the only
remaining caning storefront in all of
New England,” Brown says.
For the business, people bring in
old chairs and the employees will redo
the seats for them. Techniques include
a hand cane, pressed cane, fiber rush,
porch weave and shaker tape. The
chair seat area would first be cleaned
out and a new seat would be
weaved in.
Desiree Ferreras, assistant manager
of Heritage Caning Co., said
caning requires a lot of hand eye
coordination. She said a standard
chair takes about a week to complete.
Most people are unaware that caning
is an option for them, and don’t know
what to do with their broken chairs,
she adds.
Brown says ArcWorks was
envisioned as an opportunity for artists
with and without disabilities to sell their
artwork side-by-side. Everybody who
exhibits in the gallery shows has an
opportunity to sell their work. The gallery
features rotating exhibits by regional
artists in a variety of media that are free
and open to the public.
The gallery typically includes
mostly visual art, with an emphasis
on paintings and photography.
Different exhibits are on display
year-round and each change-over
includes an opening reception to
give those interested a chance to
meet the artists.
If interested, someone can
also take advantage of free
monthly workshops, or four-week
classes to hone their artistic
skills. A previous class taught
students to create an abstract
painting by submerging their
piece in different types of dyes.
Each month features a workshop
and projects are for artists of all
skill levels.
One of the spaces Brown is
excited about at ArcWorks is a vacant
warehouse that is being converted to
a black box theater for plays and
performances. She says several local
improv groups have expressed interest
in using of the space. Before the
space is renovated, productions could
begin. Some see the theater as bringing
together the downtown cultural district.
“We are very proud to be part of
the broader community to strengthen
and promote the creative economy in
Peabody,” Brown says.l

Rossetti Restaurant
brings craft cocktails
and Italian cuisine to
downtown Lynn

WHY DRIVE TO BOSTON?

ONE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016

It may still be considered the new kid on the block, but
in the two-and-a-half years since its opening in downtown
Lynn, Rossetti Restaurant has proven it entered the city
with staying power.
“It was 100-percent the right decision to come here,”
says Chris Rossetti, the restaurant’s co-owner and general
manager. “The city has been extremely welcoming. We
work well off of other restaurants like the Blue Ox, right
around the corner, and we want to keep building on that.
I’d like to see this whole area become a dining district.”
The name may sound familiar to those who have
frequented its sister restaurant, Cafe Rossetti’s, which
has thrived on the Winthrop waterfront for 14 years.
“This is a completely different concept,” says
Rossetti. “Our other restaurant is smaller and BYOB, but
when we were envisioning this restaurant, it was with the
idea that we wanted to bring craft cocktails to the North
Shore. There are great cocktail bars in New York City
and Boston, but you rarely see it next to classic Italian
cuisine. That’s what we’re striving to offer our customers.”

Chris Rossetti can often be found in the kitchen
ensuring plates are perfect.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14
The restaurant’s citrus-base cocktails ($11) shine with
refreshing flavors. The “beach comber” features bourbon,
spiced pear liqueur, pineapple and lemon; “ocean
breeze” blends gin, Aperol, elderflower liqueur, lemon,
simple syrup, cucumber bitters and soda water; and the
“spring peach mule” is made with house-infused peach
vodka, house-made ginger beer and lime. Spirit-base
cocktails ($12) creatively blend bitters with brandy,
bourbon, whiskey and cordials.
“Our beverage director squeezes every juice by hand
and we have 20 different homemade bitters,” says
Rossetti. “We cut our ice from blocks using a chainsaw
to get that perfect cube. It’s all about catering to our
guests and hopefully the sum of hundreds of little
details provides them with that perfect, or near perfect,
experience.”
Rossetti, who gained a greater knowledge of the
industry while working at urban restaurants such as
Mistral in Boston’s Back Bay, says the high ceilings, large
windows and industrial features of the previously vacant
building have created the ideal atmosphere, and the
ample parking has been a bonus. He owns the 88-seat
restaurant with his father, Bob Rossetti, and uncle, Steve
Rossetti, who also serve as the executive chefs. The
menu offers traditional Italian fare such as house-made
meatballs ($8.95), ricotta gnocchi ($18.95), veal
parmigiana ($19.95), eggplant parmigiana ($17.95) and
tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce ($18.95), in addition to
some more unique options. One of the signature plates,
a dry-aged, center-cut prime sirloin “Mafiosa” ($36.95)
is grilled and topped with mozzarella, prosciutto,
peppers, onions, shiitake mushrooms, stewed
tomatoes, capers, Marsala wine and marinara.
“My dad came up with the Mafiosa and it’s fantastic,”
says Rossetti. “Every item that goes on and around that
steak complements it perfectly. If you’re looking for Italian
and steak, you’re not going to get a better combination.”
Rossetti also emphasizes new menu items for summer,
such as soft-shell crab, which will be flown in daily. The
seasonal caprese salad ($12.95) is a perfect blend

of sweet and savory. It features creamy burrata, layered
with fresh peaches, strawberries, blueberries, mint,
crumbled pistachio, lemon oil and balsamic reduction.
Equally tasty is the house-made ricotta tortellini
($12.95) layered over prosciutto-infused cream,
topped with almond pesto and garnished with crispy
bits of prosciutto.
For seafood lovers, Rossetti Restaurant prides itself
on its pan-roasted haddock ($25.95), served over a
sweet pea and shrimp risotto and topped with stewed
tomatoes and sherry butter. The salmon ($22.95) is
prepared with arugula, tomato and lemon vinaigrette and
served alongside fresh linguine in a white wine garlic
sauce, and the lobster ravioli ($24.95) is served with
jumbo shrimp.
The restaurant also offers exceptional pub fare such
as the burger ($16.95), made with its own special blend
of beef, topped with aged Vermont cheddar, crispy
bacon and balsamic caramelized onions and served on
a brioche bun alongside truffle fries. Grilled flatbreads like
the shrimp scampi with white wine and garlic or the
prosciutto with blue cheese, caramelized onions,
balsamic reduction and honey (both $13.95) offer
creative alternatives to the traditional Italian pie.
With such a diversified menu, it is with little wonder
that Rossetti Restaurant frequently receives OpenTable’s
Diners’ Choice Award for Greater Boston, presented
monthly. Rossetti credits that to his staff’s commitment
to customer service.
“We strive for 100 percent and want to meet every
one of our guests’ needs,” says Rossetti. “My father and
I try to be as involved as we can. At least one of us is
here every night, getting to every table that we can, but
ultimately the staff is the face of the restaurant. I can’t
say enough about our staff. They’ve built a consistency
that’s impeccable and I think our diners appreciate that.”
Located at 47 Sutton St. in Lynn, Rossetti Restaurant
is open from 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 5
to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 4 to 8 p.m.
on Sunday.l

••• Golf links
•••
By Anne Marie Tobin
Route 1, also known as the Newburyport Turnpike,
between Peabody and Saugus is one of the most heavilytraveled
roads in Massachusetts. Tens of thousands of
motorists pass through the 10-mile stretch every day. For
most of them, however, mention of the word “golf’ brings
only one thing to mind, the iconic 12-foot tall orange
dinosaur that has been standing sentinel over Route 1
at the beloved Route 1 Miniature Golf and Batting Cages
in Saugus since 1958.
What these travelers may not know is that there is a
lot more golf to be played in the area than miniature golf.
With seven courses located within a chip shot of the
highway, this stretch of Route 1 is a golf lover’s dream.
Each course has its own distinct flavor and history.
Pay your green fees at any of the six public layouts,
and your golf journey begins.
The seventh course, Salem Country Club, is just
a little more than half a mile from Route 1. Turn right
onto Forest Street at Red’s Kitchen + Tavern (formerly the
Bel-Aire Diner) and in two minutes flat, your first glimpse
of the course, the par-3 6th, will be on your right.
However, teeing up on the Donald Ross gem requires a
little bit of networking, as it is private and accessible only
by members and their guests. The best way to walk the
fairways at Salem? Purchase a ticket to next year’s U.S.
Senior Open and experience the event vicariously from
behind the ropes.
ONE’s course guide will help you get your
Route 1 golf adventure started.

If you are looking for a challenge and an opportunity
to use every club in the bag, then The Meadow at
Peabody will fit you to a tee. Owned and operated by
the city of Peabody, the course is situated on 259 rolling
acres at 80 Granite St.
The Meadow is the quintessential example of target
golf with tight fairways, seven doglegs and dramatic
changes in elevation. Large elevated greens and blind
shots are the rule rather than the exception. Golfers are
advised to leave the driver in the bag and play
strategically over the hilly terrain. Keep the ball in play
and you will be rewarded at The Meadow.
The course is extremely difficult to walk, so a
motorized cart is recommended.
The course, which opened for play in 2001 and
cost $6.75 million to build, was designed by the firm of
Cornish, Silva & Mungeam.
Open to the public, The Meadow plays to a par 71
and has five tee options ranging from 6,708 yards from
the tips to 5,136 yards from the forward tees.
Tee times may be reserved up to five days in advance
on the course’s website.
The Meadow offers discounted green fees to
Peabody residents, juniors and seniors and also has
several leagues ranging from nine-holes to 18-holes for
women, juniors and men. Outings are also welcome.
Rate information may be obtained by visiting the
course website.
Whether you are a scratch golfer or a duffer, The
Meadow is the place to be in the fall when the trees are
aflame with color.
Cedar Glen Golf Course, located on the 115-acres
site of the former Hone Dairy Farm owned by Seth
Sperry, was built in 1928. Sperry hired noted architects
Wayne Stiles and John Van Kleek to build the nine-hole
course. Stiles had 35 original designs to his credit and,
with Van Kleek, had a hand in the design, construction
and renovation of 145 other courses, including such
highly-regarded courses as Oak Hill, Pine Brook
Taconic, Tedesco, Thorny Lea, Wellesley and Woods
Hole along with Lynn’s Gannon Golf Club.
Cedar Glen is a perfect beginners course with very
few hazards and virtually no greenside bunkers,
making it easy for bump-and-run shots. The course is
extremely flat with no blind shots. It plays to par 35 and
measures 2,809 yards from the back tees.
Other than the first hole, a slight dogleg to the left,
the holes are straight. With only one par 4 exceeding
350 yards (No. 4, 366 yards), the course is ideal for
short hitters, although long bombers may be tempted to
pull out the driver and go for a par 4 or two.
The most challenging hole is the third hole, a par 3 that
can be stretched to more than 230 yards.
Tee times are not required. Green fees are a
bargain – $34 on weekdays and $37 on weekends for
18 holes. Juniors (17 and under) and senior
discounts (62 or over) are available.
On weekends, children 14 and younger play free
after 3 p.m. if accompanied by a paid adult (limit one
child per paid adult). Motorized carts, pull carts and club
rentals are also available.
Cedar Glen hosts numerous leagues and also
is available for outings. For further information,

Sagamore Spring Golf Course, located
in Lynnfield near the Peabody line, is less than a 10
minute drive from routes 1 and 128. It bisects Main Street and
features a challenging layout suitable for players of all
abilities. The course was the brainchild of Louis K. Luff,
his son Richard Luff and Albert Strobel, who
constructed a nine-hole layout in 1929 on what used to
be Smith Farm. In 1931, they added nine holes to
complete the 18-hole design. The course plays to a par
of 70, and can be stretched to 5,972 yards from the
back tees. Both nines finish with challenging uphill par
3s. No. 9 plays to a whopping 224 yards over water to
an elevated green. Accuracy is key, as wayward shots
on either side of the green are likely to roll into trouble.
The 18th hole is just as challenging at 212 yards with a
front bunker and another on the right side, making the
green extremely difficult to reach in regulation.
Sagamore is for players of all abilities, especially
beginners looking to learn the game or more
experienced players seeking to refine their skills. The
Sagamore Learning Center, headed by PGA
professional Steve Vaughn, offers individual, group and
junior instruction throughout the season. A first-class
driving range is also open to the public.
During the summer, the course is open from 5 a.m.
to dusk. Tee times are mandatory in the summer
months. Tee times and green fee rates are available online.
Sagamore offers discounted green fees for juniors
(17 and under) who pay a rate equal to their age,
seniors (62 and over) and the military (ID required).
Weekday (from 5-7:30 a.m.) and twilight (weekdays
after 3 p.m.) tee times are available. Sagamore also
offers a special whereby players can play an unlimited
number of holes for the normal weekend 9-hole rate, a
Weekday 10-Pak at a 15 percent savings over normal
rates and a Sagamore Rewards Club through which
golfers can earn free buckets of practice balls to free
18-hole rounds of golf.
Sagamore also offers a Weekend Prime Time option
whereby golfers pay a $200 fee to reserve their favorite
tee time for the entire season.
For golfers seeking a more aerobic experience,
Sagamore offers “Fling Golf” – a fun new sport that
combines the game of golf with lacrosse. Players play
with a Fling stick and a normal golf ball, playing each
hole as they would if playing traditional golf with the
main difference being instead of striking the ball, players
fling the ball lacrosse-style. On the putting greens,
players push or sweep the ball toward the hole. Fling
Golf is offered on Tuesdays from 12:30-2 p.m. and
Saturdays after 5 p.m. Normal green fees and tee times
are required. Sticks are available on a rental basis.
Sagamore is also well known for its tournaments.
MGA and GHIN/USGA members are eligible to play in
the Sagamore Cup in late June, the Club Championship
in July and the Senior Championship in August.
Sagamore is one of three facilities owned and
operated by Sagamore Golf Inc.; the others being the
18-hole Sagamore Hampton Golf Course in North
Hampton, N.H., and the Sagamore Golf Center, a
practice facility, driving range and miniature golf course
also located in North Hampton.
Reedy Meadow Golf Course, formerly Lynnfield
Center Golf Course, is one of two town-owned golf
courses in Lynnfield. If there is one word that best
describes Reedy Meadow, it’s probably “simplicity.”
Everything about it is simple, from its gravel covered
parking lot, to a tiny practice putting green, its one-room
pro shop, and its gently rolling terrain -- what you see is
what you get at Reedy Meadow. It has an extremely
“homey” feel to it, sort of golf’s version of “Cheers,”
where everybody knows your name.
The layout is flat and extremely easy to walk with
greens and tee boxes within a few yards of each other
for the most part.
Tee times are not required. Several membership
options are available for individuals and their spouses,
including full seven-day season memberships, five-day
(Monday-Friday) memberships and seven-day
junior memberships. The course also offers Frequent
Player cards where players can purchase 10, 25 or 50
play cards at a discounted rate. Cards can be
purchased online at Reedy Meadow’s website.
The course is host to numerous outings and
tournaments, including junior tournaments conducted
by the New England PGA Junior Golf Tour, and the
Reedy Meadow Junior Golf Open, sponsored by the
Lynnfield Weekly News.
The course also hosts several leagues for both
men and women and conducts junior golf clinics
from spring through fall. Private lessons are available.
The course was built in 1931 on the old Danforth
Farm by owner and architect, Moulton Cox, the founder
of Worthmore Foods. It was closed for a time during
World War II but re-opened in 1950. On August 9, 2005,
the town of Lynnfield purchased the 45-acre course and
60 adjoining acres of Reedy Meadow for $12 million.
Reedy Meadow is one of five facilities participating
in the First Tee of Massachusetts program. The First
Tee of Massachusetts was established in 2003 in hopes
of bringing the game of golf and its inherent values to
underprivileged and at-risk youth.
As part of the curriculum, the children progress
through a series of golf lessons where they are
introduced to the different aspects of the game as well
as its core values – honesty, respect, responsibility,
courtesy and perseverance.
Reedy Meadow partners with the Lynn YMCA
to bring children to the course for the seven-week
summer program, which is conducted by PGA
professionals Don Lyons and Eddie Whalley, Jr., their
staff and volunteers.
The course’s signature hole is the 6th, a picturesque
par-3 hole. It is 165 yards from the back tee that was
added a couple of years ago, but most players play the
hole at 139 yards. It surrounded by Reedy Meadow on
three sides, giving it a peninsula type feel, with
beautiful views and a premium on accuracy.
The nine-hole golf course has one par-5, three
par-3s and five par-4s and is situated on rolling terrain
bordered by the MarketStreet complex and Reedy
Meadow. There are motorized golf carts available for
rent, but the course is easy and pleasurable to walk,
with beautiful views across the marsh, especially at
sunset. Golfers of all abilities will enjoy the course and
will be challenged as there are both water hazards
and penalizing bunkers that come into play on
different holes.
The most talked-about hole is the 95-yard 9th hole,
which was the final piece of the renovation puzzle.
Simply put, the plan simply ran out of land, leaving no
options other than squeezing in a finishing hole of less
than 100 yards.
April’s opening was the culmination of a plan put into
place nearly 10 years ago, when National Development
purchased the course for its New Meadow Walk
development, which is now named MarketStreet at
Lynnfield. As part of its arrangement with the town, the
developer donated 103 acres to the town, consisting of
seven original Colonial Country Club holes, for a
municipal golf course. Three greens were constructed
and two new holes were carved out of the existing seven
to create a nine-hole layout.
The pro shop staff currently operates out of a trailer
until a permanent clubhouse can be built.
Access to the course is via MarketStreet – turn right
at the Whole Foods rotary, keep to the right; you’ll find
the parking lot and be ready to hit the links.
King Rail and Reedy Meadow are operated in
tandem with slight differences in green fee rates,
specials, memberships and junior/senior
discounts. Further information can be found by visiting
lynnfieldgolf.com, a recently-launched website offering
valuable information on both courses.
King Rail’s origins go back to 1922 when Lynn’s
Eugene Fraser and George Cox, along with Paul
Wadleigh, purchased a 50-acre parcel formerly known
as the Hawkes Estate in the Montrose section of Wakefield.
Nine holes were built in 1925, but it wouldn’t be until 36
years later that another nine would open. After the stock
market crash of 1929, the club hit hard times and was
forced into bankruptcy. After many years, the court
ordered a sale and thus began the George W. Page era.
Page was known for his innovative style. In 1964, the
club outfitted nine holes with lighting for night golf.
Unfortunately, the project was doomed to fail on account
of an invasion of mosquitoes and other pests of the
night. After Page died in 1986, the property was sold
and exchanged hands multiple times before
National Development purchased the property.

ONE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016
Tucked away just inside the entrance to the Lynn Woods Reservation,
Gannon Municipal Golf Course is one of the state’s most underrated public
golf courses. Originally named the Lynn Woods Municipal Golf Links, this
course has it all – a challenging layout, an active and passionate membership,
and magnificent views of the Boston skyline. Gannon was built at the height
of the Depression. Discussions among Lynn locals about building a cityowned
golf course began before the stock market crash of 1929. After the
crash, there was great resistance, but according to Gannon’s website,
others saw nothing but opportunity in the project by being able to give jobs
to hundreds of men who were unemployed. After the Massachusetts
legislature passed a special act permitting the project, 800 men began work
in July of 1930 clearing, excavating and replanting 100 acres of hilly, dense
woodlands in the Lynn Woods Reservation. By the time the project was
completed in 1933 another 700 laborers were put to work.
The first nine holes opened for play in 1931, and the final nine holes
were completed two years later.
The course, which was designed by Wayne Stiles, a noted disciple of
Donald Ross, cost the city of Lynn approximately $88,000 to construct.
Coupled with a magnificent stone clubhouse, the entire project cost the
city more than $148,000 – a tidy sum considering the nation was mired in
The Great Depression.
Not a single stone was purchased for the construction of the clubhouse.
Instead, the project designers recycled, using reclaimed stones unearthed
during the process of clearing and excavation of the land for the golf course.
The first professional at what came to be known by Lynners as “Happy
Valley” was Larry “Silver Fox” Gannon, who assumed the reigns in 1934
and held the position until he passed away in 1974. A year later, the course
was renamed in his honor.
An irrigation system was installed in 1965, greatly improving conditions
after more than 30 years during which the course was barely maintained.
In 1968, the city installed Astroturf in the tee boxes. Prior to that, the tees
were dirt. Like the night golf experiment at the old Colonial, the Astroturf
experiment was short-lived, eventually yielding to traditional bent grass.
Today, the course retains much of its original character. A preview to what
lies ahead for first-time player is unveiled as said players attempt to
navigate the parking lot, which is best described as uphill-sidehill on the
way in and downhill-sidehill on the way out.
Like the parking lot, a level lie on the golf course is a rarity. Local
knowledge is a distinct advantage, as yardage can be deceiving with so
many drastic, albeit dramatic, changes in elevation and blind shots are a
routine occurrence. The course is tight, so keeping the driver in the bag is
often the best choice.
Gannon measures only 6,310 from the tips, but with a par of 70 and
several holes requiring uphill approaches, the course plays longer than its
yardage, especially for the bogey player.
While Gannon’s toughest No. 1 handicap hole is the uphill 401
yard par-4 4th hole, its signature hole is the par-5 18th – the longest hole
on the course at 574 yards. It’s uphill all the way. The landing area off the
tee is generous, but, after that, accuracy is a must, leaving most players
with a blind approach shot to a fairly flat and small green bordered by a
water hazard on the left. Finishing with a par on this hole is the perfect
ending to a day on the links, but is really just a good reason to head on up
to the 19th hole and throw back a cold one … or two.
The final golf course in the group of seven is Salem Country Club.
The club was founded in 1895 as Salem Golf Club. The first course was
located on the former Gardner Farm in North Salem, but following the
closing of Salem Country Club, a separate golf club in 1910, Salem Golf
Club was flooded with new members and quickly outgrew its location. The
club moved to Margin Street where a new course was constructed on what
is now Bishop Fenwick High School. The club continued to expand,
necessitating another move, this time to the West Peabody site of the
former Sanders Farm – a 350-acre parcel of woodland between Lowell
and Forest streets. The club changed its name to Salem Country Club and
hired Donald Ross to design and construct an 18-hole course. Ross, who
at the time was the most famous golf architect in the world, was rumored
to say that the green on the signature 13th hole, was “the finest green I
have ever designed.”
Salem has hosted five national championships, the most recent of
which was the 2001 Senior Open won by Bruce Fleisher. One of the
greatest sporting events in history occurred at Salem in 1954 when the
legendary Babe Didrikson Zaharias captured her third Women’s U.S. Open
Championship just weeks after a devastating surgery that doctors said
would prevent her from ever playing competitive golf.
The course has five sets of tees on every hole, allowing players a
more enjoyable experience by finding a length that best suits their talents.
The course maxes out at 6,916 yards and plays to a members’ par of 72.
It has rolling fairways with few level lies and strategically crowned greens,
a staple of Ross-designed courses.
Earlier this year in May, the club unveiled a major project that restored
the Donald Ross-designed gem to its original 1925 layout.
The bulk of the project, conducted by designer Ron Forse, focused on
the expansion and reshaping of the greens as originally envisioned and
created by Ross. In addition, a new irrigation system was installed and
more that 500 trees were removed, significantly opening up the course
and restoring original site lines and strategy. False fronts and drop offs on
the sides of greens were restored, adding the opportunity for more
risk-reward decisions.
The impact to players is that they will require more skillful, strategic
play as, while it may be easier to hit more greens, lag putting and ball
placement will be more challenging.
The cost of the renovation was $550,000. All the sod for the new
portions of the greens came from the existing greens. The aerification
plugs from the spring of 2015 were used to create an abundant nursery of
new sod, which was used in the renovation that began in October 2015
and was completed at the end of November.
One of the most drastic changes was on the course’s signature 13th
hole, a devilish little par-4 that tops out at about 350 yards. The fairway is
bowl shaped with a landing area that is squeezed on the left by deep
fescue and on the right by trees and out of bounds. While the approach
requires only a short iron, it must be strategically placed on the tricky
undulating three-level green depending on the hole location.
Salem will host its sixth national championship next year when
the U.S. Senior Open returns June 26-July 2.
The event will feature a field of 156 of the world’s best professional
and amateur senior golfers (age of 50 and older). Players who are eligible
to compete include Fred Couples, Colin Montgomerie, Bernhard Langer,
John Daly, Tom Lehman and Tom Watson. FOX and FS1 will provide
live television coverage of all four rounds of the championship

I
t happened two years
after the fact, but when
the city of Lynn finally
experienced the British
Invasion, it was much
more than a glancing blow.
Fifty-two years ago, when the Beatles
came to America, they dragged a
country full of ambitious rock ‘n’
rollers with them. The floodgates
opened, rockers of all shapes and sizes
poured in, and recorded music has never
been the same.
One of those groups was the
Rolling Stones, who set
themselves apart from the
Beatle-like cookie cutouts that
came to define the “British
Invasion.” A year after that 1964
onslaught, the Stones made their
mark with hits such as
“Satisfaction,” “The Last Time,” and
“Get Off Of My Cloud.” They would
continue to go in their own direction
in 1966, too, with the psychedelic,
sitar-inspired “Paint It Black” and the
dulcimer-driven, medieval-sound of
“Lady Jane.”
But, the constant strain of
touring and recording took their toll.
First there was a two-week stint in
Australia and New Zealand where
they were doing a grueling two
shows-a night schedule. They were
back at it again beginning March 26
with a Northern European tour that
wrapped up April 5 in Denmark.

Lynn show.

the Stones’ first stop on their
1966 U.S. tour.
While all that was happening, on
April 1 the group recorded and
released the album “Aftermath,”
which included, “Under My Thumb,”
“Paint It Black” and “Lady Jane” on
the U.S. version.
The frenetic pace threatened to
affect the upcoming North American
tour, that was to begin with a show in
Lynn, on June 24, 1966. Lead singer
Mick Jagger was in a state of
exhaustion. Jagger was sent to a
doctor June 3, 1966, and was
declared “unfit for work,” according
to the group’s “Fifty Years” biography.
The doctor ordered him to rest for
two weeks.
But Jagger was just about to turn
23, and three weeks was more than
enough time for him to recover and
join the rest of the group when it
embarked on its third tour of the
year. Lynn was still on the bill.
The show ended up being
memorable more for its own
“aftermath” than the music. Some
fans say the intermittent rain that
fell earlier in the evening, as the
warm-up acts were performing, grew
steadier when the Stones took the
stage after 10 p.m. The account of the
show in the June 25, 1966 edition of
The Daily Item backs that up.
Some fans who attended said
while the rain was steady, it was not
heavy. The band, in its original lineup

of Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian
Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts,
was scheduled to play a 10-song set
that was supposed to end with
“Satisfaction.” They got about
halfway through that set before fans
began to rush the stage. There were
reports that one or two folding chairs
were thrown at the group as they
fled. The Stones rushed into a limousine
but at least one fan swears it was
a police wagon, as tear gas was
launched in an effort to quell the
fracas.
The Stones had played outdoor
venues since 1964, without incident.
Later in the 1966 North American
tour, they performed at Forest Hills
in New York and also played at
Winnipeg Stadium in Canada.
“Honestly, I’m not sure that anyone
connected with booking the Stones
into Manning Bowl had any idea who
they were, other than that they were
a British group,” says John L.
O’Brien, Registrar of Deeds for
Southern Essex County, who was 14
at the time and had just graduated
from Breed Jr. High. He went with
two of his friends and sat in the
bleachers. For all the notoriety the
band had amassed by 1966, the
Stones came to Lynn amid very little
fanfare, possibly because, “They were
supposed to play at the Boston
Garden, but it fell through, and they
were desperate for a venue,” said
Lynn native Walter Day, who was
an usher.
Lynn got the news about the concert
from The Item, 12 days prior to
the show, in a brief article with the
TV listings. The reporter called the
Stones “mop-haired English youths”
and wrote more about the group’s
growing popularity. The story
mentioned a Battle of The Bands competition
in Walpole, whose winner, The
Mods, appeared on the Lynn bill. But as
the show drew closer, concerned
abutters contacted the Lynn Police
with questions about the concert.
As a result, 75 policemen were
hired to work the detail, plus several
Registry of Motor Vehicle police.
If the city was late in catching onto
what could happen, there was reason.
There were plenty of other things
occupying people’s minds in June
1966. The biggest concern was a
strike at General Electric Co. that
lasted three weeks, ending June 30.
There was restlessness on the picket
lines. Police were deployed to keep
things from getting out of hand.
Things were beginning to heat up
in Southeast Asia, too, Also on June
24, 1966, the Red Sox were in last
place in the 10-team AmericanLeague,
21½ games behind the Baltimore Orioles.
The New York Yankees were down
there with them. Gasoline cost 32
cents a gallon and the average cost of
a new car was $2,650.
Finally, the area had been locked
in a heat wave the week leading up to
the 24th, with the promise, on the
day of the concert, of relief from the
scorching temperatures. It was possible,
the forecast said, that rain could help
usher in that break. Those showers
would play a pivotal role in turning
the Stones show into the melee
it became.
Crowd accounts vary, depending on
the recollections of the fans w h o
attended. But newspaper reports
estimated the number of fans at
5,000. Robert Walker of Hub Bub
Productions of Boston, which put on
the show, said 25,000 people would
have shown up if there had been
better public transportation to Lynn.
Those 5,000 people got to see
a very good show, says O’Brien.
Among the songs the Stones never
played were “19th Nervous Breakdown”
and “Satisfaction.”
Jagger provided a glimpse of what
he’d been thinking.
“It was a bit of an outdoor crazy,”
he said in an interview later in the
“Fifty Years” biography. “It wasn’t
well-secured. A few people got a bit
drunk. There were a few cops and
that was the end of it.”
By now, Arnie “Woo Woo” Ginsberg,
the popular WMEX disc jockey who
emceed the show, told the crowd to
calm down. But his words fell on deaf
ears. Fans continued to rush the
stage, according to the newspaper
report the next day, and then the tear
gas commenced.
“I don’t know if you’ve ever
been tear gassed,” Harry Sandler,
drummer for The Mods, says. “It’s
awful. It hurts.”
If memories of other aspects from
that show are fuzzy, most people have
vivid recollections of the tear gas.
“It’s the only time in my life I’ve
ever been tear gassed,” says Day. “It
is a terrible experience.”
O t h e r s s p o k e o f t h e c r o w d
panicking, with their eyes, stinging,
running for the exits.
Bob Berk, former owner of Standard
of Lynn, says the only problem for
the police was that the wind blew
back toward them, and the gas never
affected fans in front.
“The gas went off and the police
had to run for cover from the gas
blowing back toward them,” he says.
Lynnfield’s Joan Pokrant, who was
15 and attending her first-ever concert,
remembers being pushed forward as
the crowd surged toward the stage.
Then, a tear gas canister landed at
her feet.
“Something landed at my foot with
smoke coming out of it,” she says.
“I was crying. It’s something I’ll
never forget.”
She made it out of the stadium and
to a nearby friend’s house, and read
about the concert in the next
day’s paper.
The experience didn’t keep her
from atttending to future concerts,
or from seeing the Rolling Stones,
who she has seen twice since then.
Gerard Fallon, a retired teacher,
whose father was William “Chub” Fallon,
the late Lynn School Committeeman
and city councilor, remembers,
“My father had been out walking our
dog when he came in, wiping his
eyes, and saying what a crazy thing
had just happened,” she says. He was
walking past Manning Bowl when
people came running out of the large
gates and tear gas clouds drifted
over him.
“I was just 15 and neither he nor I
knew much about the Stones at the
time, so he was caught by surprise by
the fans’ reaction.”
When the smoke cleared, there
were four injuries and three arrests.
The injured included Donna Rubay,
19, of Lynn; Frances Porter, 18, of
Milton; Ursula Visconte, 16, of Everett;
and Earl “Junior” Boyce of Lynn.
The Item reported patrons
departed the stadium in such a hurry
they left broken chairs and articles of
clothing behind.
Concerts at the complex since the
Stones show have been rare. Ray
Charles played a benefit, along with
the Four Tops, in 1976. It would be
nine more years before the Fraser
Field-Manning Bowl complex saw
another rock concert, this one in
1984 when the Beach Boys came.

Tigerman WOaH! :
The Lynn
band with
too much
heart
By Leah Dearborn
It isn't difficult to pick out the four band members of Tigerman WOAH!
in a crowd. They're the men with the long, matching beards who seem to have
a handshake for everyone in the room.
The May 21 show at Bruno's Bar and Burger in Lynn marked their third
performance of the day. But it only began after the band greeted most of the
crowd, giving hugs and catching up with many of the locals who regularly
attend their concerts.
In the five years since they formed, Tigerman WOAH! has cultivated
a distinctive blend of bluegrass and punk with solid roots in traditional
Americana music. Their music leans heavily on banjo-ukulele, upright bass,
and lyrics that sing the praises of social revolution.
On their Facebook page, they describe themselves as “drunken, cultish,
group-work-oriented, always woah singin with TOO MUCH HEART.”
Guitarist Jon Feinstorm chatted amiably about the band's history while
he set up equipment on the floor at Bruno's.
Feinstorm and lead singer Adam Kaz met back in high school in Georgia,
where they bonded over whiskey. Eventually, they came to the Northeast.
“When me and Kaz moved here to Massachusetts, we were underemployed,
kind of depressed, and living together in Boston,” he says. We didn't have much
going on, but we both liked old folk and blues. The stuff that resonated during
the Depression, about what it's like to be a working man. That music still
resonates today. We started playing around together.” Feinstorm still lists
mid-century folk musician Elizabeth Cotten as his “personal hero.”
They joined with bassist Kevin Landry and drummer Adam Lentine and
played the Buchanan Café in Lynn, still one of their favorite

places to perform. “We played Boston Calling,” says Kaz.
“That was our first big festival, so it was outside our
comfort area.”
Their hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Today,
Tigerman WOAH! is on the rise, with recent sold-out shows
at the Sinclair music venue in Cambridge and a gig at
Stagecoach Music Festival in California, one of the largest
outdoor country festivals in the world.
“It was awesome,” comments Kaz on the experience
at Stagecoach. “Just really cool.”
In December of 2015, they picked up the Live Artist
of the Year award at the 28th annual Boston Music Awards,
where they were also nominated for Video of the Year for
their song “Koopa.”
The video was conceptualized, shot, directed and edited
by kids from RAW Artwork’s Real to Reel program in Lynn
and includes a special dedication to Kaz’s cat, Koopa Troopa.
“Koopa Troopa was a bastard you couldn’t help but love,”
said Feinstorm. “Unfortunately, he died while Kaz was out
of town and it seemed like a fitting tribute.”
For the show at Bruno’s, singer Dina Elise opened
for Tigerman WOAH! in a floral dress and heavy scarf,
alternating between sultry jazz numbers and quick
ukulele playing.
“Dina moved to Lynn from Philadelphia and we recruited
her,” says Kaz from the sidelines as he watched her play. It
was only the second time she’d performed with them live and
the crowd clearly embraced it. “We just follow her, she writes
all the songs.”
After Elise finished with a somber cover of Folk ballad
“Black Is The Color,” Tigerman WOAH! filed onto the small
stage and moved into a swinging rendition of “Tiger Man,”
the Rufus Thomas blues tune the band derives
their name from.
A small but energetic crowd gathered in the corner
of the bar, dancing to songs that maintained the rowdy
energy of an impromptu jam session. The resulting sound
was something like Celtic rockers the Dropkick Murphys
meets cult Gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello.
Tigerman WOAH! is at work with The Bridge Sound
and Stage in Cambridge on a new self-produced album.
Kaz hopes that the album, which contains 13 songs,
will be ready for a late summer release.
“We would love to record in Lynn, but we haven’t
found a studio,” Kaz adds.
The new work will reflect a similar style to their
previous albums, continuing to use music as a medium
to explore larger social issues, according to Kaz.
Tapping into what Feinstorm said about appealing to
the working man, one song from their new album concerns
the 14-week strikes of 1969 at General Electric Co. A few
fans at Bruno’s who were former General Electric employees
sat up and took notice.
When asked whether the band planned to stick around
the North Shore, Kaz replies, “We’ve been down to Texas
twice. We have a tour taking us to FloydFest in Virginia soon
as well. We’ll play anywhere we can make it happen. We all
work day jobs. We put all hours into this constantly writing
and recording.”
When asked if their matching beards were part of an
intentional statement, Feinstorm shrugs.
“We all started doing it around the same time. We’re all
just afraid to be the first to change, I guess.”l

Street store.

W
hen Morris Zimman opened a dry goods
store on River Street in Lynn in 1909 legend
has it that he sold slightly soiled-muslin he had
purchased from a sunken ship. Little did the
enterprising entrepreneur realize that his
brilliance for unearthing bargains would create a
business that would set sail in the future decorating
the lives of his family and the homes of thousands
for more than a century.
Morris and his wife Annie had four sons: Harold,
Barry, Stuart and Robert and moved their growing
business to Market Street in 1948. In 1957, Barry
relocated the business to 80 Market St. where he
launched the first self-service department store.
Fast–forward to the 1970s when Barry and Phyllis’
son Michael purchased designer fabric at auctions
in New York City and Zimman's quickly became
New England’s hidden gem for discovering
decorative fabric.
“My dad required that all of his five sons worked
in the store,” says Michael who circled back to the
business after graduating from Bowdoin College
as an Art major. He added a furniture emporium on
the second and third floors in the late 1990s
adding one-of-kind furniture and home accessories
to its collection of over 50,000 fabrics. “We are
continuously reimagining ourselves,” says
Zimman. “I couldn’t fathom to guess where the
retail business is going. I do know that we live in
a consumer society and it’s part of our DNA to
consume in one way or another,” notes Michael.
“My father told me that it is always good to have
young people in your business,” continues
Michael. Enter his son, Daniel, who graduated
from playing hide-and-seek in the kaleidoscope of
colorful fabrics as a child to folding fabrics as a
middle schooler. After graduating from Skidmore
College where he majored in Art History, Daniel
headed West to learn more about the silk market, but
instead gravitated to the entertainment industry and
launched a career in the music industry with a
record label.
“My dad always encouraged his children to do
whatever they wanted,” says Daniel. “I think the
world of him. Growing up, I always thought I had
the best father in world recalling that he taught him
to value family,” says Daniel. Daniel and his wife,
Randi, and their daughter, Wren, moved back East
to return to the family business.
Although both Michael and Daniel see the
importance of harnessing the myriad technological
ways to reach customers, they stay committed to
providing superior customer service and giving
customers free design services at the store as well
as unique product offerings and custom work.
With customers coming from all over New England
and as far away as California, Zimman’s remains
a favorite spot for those who want to outfit their
home with one-of-a-kind furnishings, unique home
accessories or a favorite fabric curated from a
collection of 50,000 textiles.

With such a plethora of
possibilities for creating
room vignettes, it’s no
wonder the movie industry
seeks inspiration from the
Market Street merchants.
Set designers from films
such as “American Hustle,”
“The Fighter” and the new
“Ghostbusters” are among
the luminaries you may find
at Zimman’s.
What does the next chapter
of the Zimman’s story look
like? Along with continuing
to evolve as a full-service
design stop, the team stays
committed to providing
exceptional service and
unexpected treasures in the
midst of its thousands of
bolts of fabrics. “In business
you need to keep swimming,”
says Michael, the grandson of
the merchant who unearthed
his first merchandise from a
sunken ship.l

What’s the buzz?

ONE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016
“Put 14 beekeepers in a room and they’ll tell you 14
different reasons why bees are dying,” says Jay
Falcone, who maintains 10 beehives in the Bear Creek
Wildlife Sanctuary at Wheelabrator Saugus.
Falcone also maintains hives at Wheelabrator’s Shrewsbury,
Mass., landfill, including an observation hive placed inside
the conference room there.
Falcone said Wheelabrator and his wife both pushed him
to turn his beekeeping hobby into a business about 20
years ago. He owns Buzz N Bee Apiaries in Epping, N.H.,
and maintains 30 hives for his own business, in addition to
the 20 Wheelabrator hives.
Donald Musial, general manager of Wheelabrator
landfills, says Falcone first approached the company about
the idea of hosting hives. It has been a great fit for both the
bees and the company, Musial says.
Some dramatic figures about the declining honeybee
population have been making a buzz in headlines around
the world, but tracking the exact cause of the
phenomenon is easier said than done.
Bees first began to disappear en masse in the 1990s,
with annual losses over the past decade averaging
between 20 and 40 percent of all colonies in the nation
each year.
In May, the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) released the results of its first-ever Honey Bee
Colony Loss survey. Over the winter quarter of January
through March, U.S. beekeepers lost 17 percent of
their colonies.
Those are revealing statistics, and they affect more than
just the bee population itself. Bees contribute approximately
11 percent of the country’s agricultural gross domestic
product, equal to $14.6 billion each year. If bees were
removed from the equation, local grocery stores would find
everyday items such as coffee, apples, milk, and butter out
of stock.
28

So what exactly is behind this phenomenon of
disappearing bees, dubbed colony collapse disorder (CCD),
and is it really as terrifying as the headlines make it sound?
Falcone cites frigid temperatures and unpredictable New
England weather as the less-than-mysterious cause of the
majority of bee casualties in his own hives.
“Bees check the temperature of the air,” explains Falcone.
“If the sun is shining, they go out and navigate around the
hive. They always go to the bathroom outside of the hive,
because going inside will contaminate the honey.”
Days when the temperature starts out high and suddenly
drops are particularly dangerous.
“Once it reaches below 40 degrees, the bees get too cold
to fly and can't make their way back to the hive.”
During a particularly cold winter season, beekeepers might
lose 90 to 100 percent of their colonies.
Any conversation about CCD, however, is
usually accompanied by discussion of at least
three factors: verroa mites, pesticides,
and bee access to nutrition.
“The main culprits responsible for
bee die-offs are the verroa mite,”
says Vin Gaglione, a veteran
beekeeper with more than three
decades of experience and owner of
Crystal Bee Supply in Peabody. “They
first became a problem in the
early ‘80s.”
Varroa mites (varroa destructor)
attach themselves to honeybees,
compromising their immune systems and
spreading viruses. The University of Georgia’s
College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
warns that colonies infested with varroa will die within one
to two years if untreated.
Pesticides also play a somewhat more contentious role in
bee death.
“The pesticides get on the pollen,” Gaglione explains,
“which they then take into their hives, weakening their
immune systems and shortening their lives. These
neonicotinoid insecticides used to only be used on farms, but
now they’re regularly used by lawn care companies. When
the brood stores pollen for the winter, beekeepers find them
dead in the spring.”
Neonicotinoids are meant to circulate through the plant
so that crop pests die after taking a single bite. While these
chemicals don’t target bees, a high enough dose of the
compound can move through the plant and into the pollen.
On most farms, it’s only the seed that’s coated with
insecticide instead of the whole plant, but there’s speculation
that these smaller amounts still travel through the pollen
and nectar.
Laboratory experiment results published in the
March 2016 issue of the Journal of Insect Physiology found
three regularly used neonicotinoids (thiacloprid, imidacloprid,
and clothianidin) to have an impact of bees, supporting the
theory that pesticides do impair their immune systems.
There’s also the issue of nutrition. Shortly after World War
II, farmers began using synthetic fertilizers instead of cover
crops like clover and alfalfa, which have traditionally provided
additional nutrition for bees.
Gaglione adds that last of all, a lack of care and error on
the part of new beekeepers is to blame for a small, but
underreported portion of bee deaths.
From his backyard in Lynn, City Councilor Wayne Lozzi
began to experiment with beekeeping after a number of
co-workers at the Department of Environmental Protection
became involved with it as a hobby. He took a beekeeping
class with Crystal Bee Supply and attributes everything he
knows to them.
Although his hive is only a few months old, Lozzi has yet
to witness any unusual bee deaths.
“There are clear indications that the hive is healthy. The
queen is active,” explains Lozzi. “Egg-laying is going on. You
can see larvae. That’s what you hope as a beekeeper, you
hope the population explodes.”
And that's exactly what his hive has done since he
began beekeeping in April.
Lozzi opens up the individual trays to determine
whether a new box is needed.
“If it gets overcrowded, they’ll
swarm and approximately half will
leave, taking the queen with them,”
says Lozzi. “The hive falls apart
without a queen.”
Of course, Lozzi’s bees only
represent a single hive, and a new
one at that. But other studies have
questioned whether the mass bee
die-off is quite as dramatic as it
immediately seems. There’s a great
deal of conflicting information about the
causes of CCD. While some sources point to
the damage of pesticides, others question whether
Beekeeper Jay Falcone
teaches students about
bees at the Bear Creek
Wildlife Sanctuary
in Saugus.
its role is overblown.
While Falcone recognizes the impact of pesticides
on bees, he doesn't believe that New England populations
have been as heavily affected as insects in larger agricultural
centers of the country. He also takes a different approach to
treatment of the verroa mite, allowing the process of survival
of the fittest to take its course.
“An old farmer once told me, ‘Let the bees be bees.’ Let
them figure it out,” says Falcone, who has been beekeeping
since the early 1970s. “My colonies have died out with verroa,
but verroa dies out, too, in the cold winter. When other hives
become overcrowded and swarm, they'll take over the
deserted hive. The bees live on.”
Is there anything that North Shore inhabitants can do to
help the local bee population? Falcone recommends planting
flowers and spreading seeds as a simple way to provide
for bees.
Gaglione’s son and fellow beekeeper, Joe Gaglione, warns
that avoiding pesticide use is also a good start, but “if your
neighbor'’s still putting it on his lawn, it may not make much
of a difference.”
His father seems fairly hopeful about the situation,
however.
“We know a lot more about how to treat bees for illnesses
now,” says Vin Gaglione. “There are also a lot of new people
getting into beekeeping, and that helps bring up the
population numbers.”l

LENDING
HIS VOICE
By Dillon Durst
ONE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016
Eddie Palladino is living most sports fans’ dream.
The 58-year-old Saugus resident and lifelong Boston
Celtics fan has been the team’s public address
announcer since 2003, a role he calls his dream job.
Palladino grew up in East Boston and attended
Saint Dominic Savio Prep. As a kid, he remembers
locking himself in his room during Celtics games and
talking into a hairbrush, pretending to be the team’s
PA announcer.
“I’ve always had the announcing bug,” he says.
Throughout high school, Palladino called every
varsity basketball game from his freshman year
until graduation.
“I was sort of like the voice of Savio basketball,”
he says.
Palladino earned an associate degree in communications
from Grahm Junior College in 1977 before
receiving a Bachelor of Science in digital and media
arts from Emerson College in 1979.
During his senior year at Emerson, Palladino
landed a part-time job at Boston City Hall. From there,
he went into politics and “sort of left the radio dreams
behind.”
Politics eventually led Palladino, a Celtics season
ticket holder throughout the 1970s and 1980s, to a
career with the Department of Transportation, where
he works in the Secretary of Transportation’s office
as a legislative liaison.
Through it all, though, his love for the Celtics
never wavered.
While paging through the Boston Herald one
morning in late-Summer 2003, something caught
Palladino’s eye.
“Steve Bulpett, who is still the beat writer for
the Celtics, put in his notes column that the Celtics
would be looking next season for a full-time public
address announcer,” Palladino recalls.
Prior to former Celtics owner Paul Gaston
selling the team to Boston Basketball Partners L.L.C.
in 2003, Boston sportscasters Eric Frede and Greg
Dickerson served as co-PA announcers. But the
team’s new ownership sought one, singular voice to
represent the team.
So, Palladino mailed a sample tape, never imagining
he would be picked to audition.
“I mean, I never even told my wife that I applied for
the position because I just didn’t – I had been out of it
for so long, and I was entrenched in politics,” he says.
“An opportunity like that doesn’t come around a lot.”
Palladino mentioned longtime Red Sox PA
announcers Sherman “Sherm” Feller and Carl Breane,
and the Bruins’ Jim Martin as guys who entrenched
themselves as “the voice” of their respective team.
“Any of the local sports teams, they had that one
guy. And it never changed,” Palladino says. “So I
thought that this was going to be probably my
one-and-only shot of getting a position like that.”
After whittling the pool down to 10 candidates,
Palladino was informed that he made the cut. The
candidates were brought in for an audition in which
they had to read from a prepared script, react to a
specific game situation and ad lib something of their
own. From the 10 candidates, the Celtics narrowed
their list to three finalists. Three exhibition games
served as the final auditions. Palladino called the first.
That night – a Saturday, as Palladino recalls – the
Celtics played the Indiana Pacers at Verizon Wireless
Arena in Manchester, N.H.
As Palladino entered the arena through the press
gate, he came face-to-face with Larry Bird, the head
coach of the Pacers at the time.
“I walked by him and I sort of melted into a
puddle,” Palladino jokes, “I said, ‘I’m never going to
be able to pull this off now. I just walked by my hero.’”
The following Thursday, he was invited to call
a game at TD Garden, but still wasn’t promised
the position.
“I said, ‘Fine, even if I don’t get it, at least I’m
going to check it off my wish list,” he says, “to do a
game at The Garden.’”
So, Palladino crossed his fingers and waited for a
phone call.
The weekend passed. No call. Monday; same thing.
Opening Night was that Wednesday, so he figured
they had chosen someone else.

“Tuesday at 11:38 a.m. I’ll never forget it. I was working
at the State House at the time, and the phone rang. We were in
a meeting. My boss picked up the phone and the secretary said,
“There’s a call here for Eddie from the Boston Celtics,’”
Palladino says.
On the other end of the line was John Brody, chief
marketing officer of the Celtics at the time.
“He said, ‘Eddie, do you have a couple of minutes?’ I do.
He said, ‘After all the formalities, how’d you like to be the voice
of the Boston Celtics?’ He said, ‘I’ll see you tomorrow night for
Game 1,’” Palladino says of the brief, but life-altering exchange.
Since then, he’s never missed a game.
“I’ve rearranged family events to not miss games,” he says.
“Even my daughter’s high school graduation from Saugus
High School, I missed it because we were in the playoffs.” l

Pity the poor home buyer.
Despite an improving economy and the lowest mortgage rates since the
mid-1960s, the lack of inventory, rising prices and bidding wars are making buying
a house more challenging than ever.
The numbers tell the chilling story. Sales of single-family homes in Lynn,
Peabody and Saugus experienced year-over-year sales and price increases in
the first five months of the year, according to The Warren Group, the
Boston-based real estate tracker.
In Lynnfield, where home sales from January through May fell by 20 percent
compared to the same period a year ago, it would seem buyers are in the driver’s
seat. But in a market that defies gravity, while sales slipped, the median price in
Lynnfield increased by 7 percent this year to $585,000.
Frank Rossetti, a sales associate at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage
in Lynnfield, has a simple explanation for it.
“The only reason sales are down in Lynnfield is because there simply aren’t
enough homes for the buyers to buy,” he says. “That lack of homes is driving
prices higher for the few available houses.”
At the end of June, there were just 37 single-family homes in Lynnfield
for sale on the MLS Property Information Network priced from $419,900 for a
two-bedroom ranch, to $3.3 million for an 11-room contemporary. At the peak,
there were three times as many homes for sale, Rossetti says.
To make matters worse for buyers, some homes have sparked bidding wars.
Consider this example: a three-bedroom Colonial on Elliot Road in Lynnfield was
listed in March for $519,900. An open house drew many potential buyers and
five offers, one at asking and four above. It sold within days for $535,000 or nearly
3 percent above asking.
While the vast majority of homes sold in the first five months in Lynnfield went
for below asking, according to MLS, Debra Roberts, an agent at Northrup
Associates Realtors, said there could be lots more.
“If it’s priced right, sellers will get asking or over asking with multiple offers,”
she says.
The “priced right” phrase is key and here’s how setting the cost of a home
gets played out, say brokers. Typically, the listing agent, who represents the
seller, will research comparable sales in the neighborhood and base the price
on that.
But here’s where it gets dicey. Sellers, who have the final say on setting the
cost, often prefer a higher price in the hopes of getting more. But what most
sellers fail to realize, agents say, is that the most attention your home will get is
when it is first listed. Priced too high, it will sit unsold. After weeks go by, the seller
may agree to lower the price, but by then the listing may be stale and smart
sellers can use that edge to seek a lower price. The lack of inventory is another
baffling aspect to this overheated market. If homes sales and prices are soaring,
why aren’t more people selling?
“The trade-up buyers don’t know where they can go,” says Roberts. “People
whose home would be priced in the $500,000 range would upgrade to the $700s,
and $700s to the $900s. But when inventory shrinks, it’s tough to find a new
home in your price range.”
The news is not any better for potential buyers in Peabody and Saugus where
sales and prices are up this year.
Peabody single-family home sales increased 11 percent in the first five months
of the year compared to a year ago, while median prices swelled to $375,000, a
3 percent hike over a year ago.
When it comes to selection, there were just 36 single-family homes for sale
in Peabody at press time, from $150,000 for a four-bedroom fixer-upper on a tiny
lot to $829,000 for a 10-room ranch on one-half acre.
In Saugus, it’s not much better if you’re a buyer. As sales rose by 16 percent
from January through May and median prices increased by 14 percent to
$370,000. Inventory problems persist. There are 30 homes for sales priced from
$219,900 for a two-bedroom Colonial to $849,127 for a 10-room Colonial.
The biggest beneficiaries of higher prices on the North Shore is Lynn as
buyers are priced out of other communities. While the city still struggles with its
gritty reputation, Lynn home sales skyrocketed by more than a third in the first
five months of 2016 to 231, up from 172 for the same period last year.
As sales volume increased so did prices. The median price for a single-family
home reached $270,000 so far this year. That’s up 8 percent from $249,450
compared to the same time last year.
“Lynn is very attractive now,” says Annmarie Jonah, the broker-owner of
Annmarie Jonah Realtors who does most of her selling in Lynn. “We have the
beach, the woods, old fashioned neighborhoods and, best of all, lower prices for
anyone priced-out of Boston.
There is some good news for buyers. A 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged
3.5 percent with one-half point for the week ending June 23, according to Freddie
Mac. Rates haven’t been that low since Lyndon B. Johnson was in the White
House. A year ago at this time, the 30-year fixed-rate loan averaged 4 percent.
The news is even better for buyers seeking a 15-year fixed rate loan. The average
rate was 2.8 percent with one-half point, down from 3.2 percent last year.
Despite the white hot market, Roberts has some tips for sellers. The key, she
said, is preparing the house for sale.
“Buyers want lots of space, so we tell sellers to declutter, start moving out,
get storage space if you have to, everyone has more things than they used to,”
she says.
She also recommends that the house be clean, if it needs painting, paint it.
Curb appeal is critical, Roberts added. “Kitchens sell houses,” she says.
“Everyone wants a kitchen that opens up into a family or dining room. Granite
countertops and hardwood flooring are in and carpeting is out.”
Ronn Huth, president of the Massachusetts Association of Buyer Agents,
said in his many years in real estate, he can’t recall a time when buyers were at
such a disadvantage. This is no time for buyers to go it alone, he said. Huth, who
also is the broker-owner of Buyer’s Choice Realty, says in this market, buyers
need an advocate.
“To go into buying a house blindly can get them into trouble,” he says.
Huth suggests buyers find an exclusive buyer’s agent, someone who does
not list homes, who knows the market, knows values, can research comparable
sales and figure out how much a buyer may be willing go above asking if they
really want a specific home.
He also suggests that buyers try to get in to see a home before the first open
house, if possible, so there’s less pressure and competing buyers are not in your
face. In addition, while cash is still king, he said, buyers who are not in a position
to buy a home without a loan should get a preapproval letter from a lender that
sets out how much home you can buy.
But given the market that favors sellers, Huth has some unorthodox advice
given that buyer’s agents are paid a portion of the commission the seller and the
listing company have agreed in advance to pay any agent who brings a
homebuyer to the transaction.
“If you don't absolutely have to buy right now, don’t,” he says. “I'm spending
a lot of time spinning wheels showing lots of properties and not getting the kind
of results that I can get in a more balanced market. If a buyer can wait, they will
be a lot happier and I will be a lot less stressed.”l

As is often the case in the real estate market, he who
hesitates is lost. With the current demand for homes
exceeding the supply, it’s no wonder that newly
constructed properties have begun to quickly appear—
and disappear—along the North Shore. We scouted
out a very limited number of them still available.

L
ove-struck youth meandering through the forest may not
be a totally out-of-the-ordinary scene to stumble upon in
Lynn Woods. But this summer, something extraordinary
will transpire amongst the trees when Arts After Hours
transforms the setting into an Athenian forest and
presents “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
The Shakespeare classic revolves around four young Athenian lovers
who must find their way through the forest and to each other, while
overcoming the obstacles of menacing fairies and the will of the Duke.
Love potions are used, tricks are played and comedy ensues.
The show marks the downtown Lynn-based theater company’s fifth
annual outdoor summer Shakespeare production.
Nestled in Lynn Woods, “A Midsummer’s Night Dream” will showcase
the municipal reservation’s natural beauty. The tale will begin in the
Rose Garden, located near the Pennybrook Road entrance, and the
audience will trail the performance as it continues into the woods.
Corey Jackson, Arts After Hours’ managing director and producing
artistic director, said the most substantial benefit in holding outdoor
performances around the city is engaging the audience outside and
having them enjoy a classic tale in an unconventional way.
“The audience literally follows the show from scene to scene and
experiences action with different settings,” Jackson says. “It’s very
cinematic and so real. They’re out in nature.”
In its first year, the company performed “Twelfth Night” in Lynn Woods,
utilizing the rose garden Jackson said many in attendance shared they
weren’t aware existed. “Henry V” was re-created at High Rock Tower,
and “Romeo and Juliet” at Pine Grove Cemetery.
“We really wanted to explore the idea of getting people out to the various
Lynn gems around the city, that a ton of people don’t even know exist,”
Jackson says.
The premise was what attracted Thomas Martin, the artistic director
who created Arts After Hours’ “Summer Shakespeare” program.
Martin said he jumped at the opportunity to re-create the tale in a
unique way that allows for a more intimate interaction with
Shakespeare’s writing.
“As love potions are out on eyes and people fall in and out of love, it goes
to a place of wildness,” Martin says. “As people get literally transformed,
they are going into a place of the wild, and then going into a more
romantic area, like where the amphitheater is. The fact that it travels
through these places adds to the text.”
Natural lighting offers a magical feel, adds Martin.
“It’s easy to forget about the amazing connection to nature, to the
outside, that the city has to offer,” Martin says. “That was a big part of
what appealed to me.”
Summer doesn’t last forever, and neither will this midsummer dream. The
show runs on Saturdays and Sundays, July 29 through August 14.l

ROLLING STONES, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21
A year later, Motley Crue, the
Kinks and Aerosmith played at
Manning Bowl amid much controversy
and consternation. In almost every
case, the 1966 concert by the
Rolling Stones was cited as the
main reason people expressed
reservations.
There has not been a rock show
at either facility since, though
Lynn City Hall has become a
popular place for concerts.
The Stones had their share
of incidents surrounding their
shows after that. In 1972, due to
play in Boston, their plane was
diverted to Warwick, R.I., and they
were arrested at the airport after a
scuffle with authorities. They
eventually made it to the Garden,
but not before Boston Mayor Kevin
H. White had to take the stage and
plead with the crowd to behave, as
there was racial unrest occurring
in other parts of the city.
Their Dec. 6, 1969 free concert
at the Altamont Speedway in San
Francisco resulted in one death
when a member of the Hell’s
Angels, who were working the
security, stabbed a fan who rushed
the stage.
Future events would prove that
police who acted quickly to quell
the Manning Bowl fracas knew
what was coming. In 1979, fans of
The Who tried to storm the
entrance of the Riverfront Coliseum
in Cincinnati and trampled 11
people to death.
Three years after the Stones
concert, O’Brien was off to the
Woodstock rock festival. He said he
is proud of the fact that he’s one of
the few Lynners who saw the
Stones and went to the iconic music
festival.
Day said all he can remember is
that it was raining.
“How hard, I cannot remember,”
he says. “It was quite a thing. It
was fun, and amazing, and somehow
I became a background figure in all
of this.”
As for Keith Richards, his
recollection began and ended with
the tear gas.
“Things got a little blurry in the
’60s,” he said in the biography.
“Tear gas. That was the other
continuous smell of the ’60s. Can’t
say I miss it.”l

The
Five Flavors
of
Tom Gould
By Paul Halloran
ONE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016
As a ticket-topping city councilor and a modernday
ice cream man, Tom Gould is a pretty popular
person in Peabody. Everyone seems to know – and
like – him.
Gould and his wife, Sharon, have owned Treadwell’s
Ice Cream for 16 years. They have two adult children –
Cortney Hurley and Michael Gould – and a granddaughter,
Quinn. Gould is in his third term as a city councilor and
an indefatigable volunteer. You could offer a reward
for a photo of him not smiling and never pay it.
ONE had to dig deep to come up with the scoop
on Gould you may not have known:
Vanilla: He is a Broadway play aficionado,
especially fond of the music. “I have satellite radio
and listen to the Broadway show tune channel all the
time,” he says. “I saw my first show on Broadway 25
or 30 years ago. I had season tickets to North Shore
Music Theatre. If you come down to Treadwell’s on
a Saturday or Sunday morning, that’s what you’ll
hear playing in the background.”
Chocolate: He was a very good basketball
official, working high school games for 27 years.
“I remember my first state tournament game,” he
says. “It was at Salem High and Larry McIntire (the
assigner) was there watching. I was working with
Nate Bryant. Right after the opening tip, I could feel
something in my pant leg. It was a pair of Sharon’s
nylons.” Gould corrected the laundry malfunction
and the game went on without incident.
Strawberry: Before he was serving ice cream,
Gould was engineering a career at GE in Lynn.
He started in the apprentice program in 1979 and
worked for GE for 21 years, along the way earning an
engineering degree at Northeastern University. Gould
worked in the manufacturing division and eventually
moved into a management position.
Coffee: He is a longtime friend of Bill W. Gould says
he was a “functioning alcoholic” before he quit drinking
29 years ago. “I went to work every day but I couldn’t
stop drinking.” Gould quit cold-turkey, and he has
helped countless others confront their addiction. After he
stopped drinking, Gould started volunteering. Providing
opportunities for special-needs children and adults
is a particular passion for Gould, who started the
Challenger Little League and has run similar programs
in basketball and soccer.
Cookies & Cream: Gould is not a lifelong
resident of Peabody. He was born in Lynn, but his
family moved to the Tanner City when he was 1. Gould
went to high school in Lynn, graduating from St. Mary’s
in 1973, and he maintains many close friendships
nurtured there. He has been part of the fabric of the
Peabody community for more than three decades, and
in 2011 decided to run for city council. He received
9,012 votes, a record for a Peabody council-at-large
election. “I only wish I ran sooner,” Gould says. l
A good dessert is worth waiting for.
