First-grade students watch an Eastern Box Turtle move around in a mobile enclosure during an enrichment class brought to Huckleberry<br />

Hill Elementary School by Mass Audubon’s Drumlin Farm on Thursday.<br />

By Adam Swift<br />

Editor<br />

A slow trip back in time<br />

First graders at the Huckleberry Hill Elementary School<br />

took a journey into the past last week, learning about how<br />

Native Americans worked and respected the land one thousand<br />

years ago.<br />

Pat Cochran, a teacher and naturalist from the Massachusetts<br />

Audubon Society’s Drumlin Farm in Lincoln, talked<br />

to the students about how the Native Americans hunted,<br />

gathered nuts and berries, traveled, and used simple tools<br />

to work the land.<br />

“We do hundreds of these events each year,” said Cochran.<br />

“There are about 20 teachers who go to schools, nursing<br />

homes, scout groups, and other assemblies.”<br />

Cochran passed around a deer and a bear skin to the first<br />

graders from Melissa Wyland’s class and talked about the<br />

many ways the land’s original inhabitants used all the part<br />

of the animals.<br />

“One thousand years ago, the Native Americans lived out<br />

in nature with the animals and respected the animals, as<br />

well,” said Cochran.<br />

Showing the kids a shell, Cochran asked how the Native<br />

Americans might have been able to travel to the beach in<br />

Town<br />

Meeting<br />

to face a<br />

reel issue<br />

By Leah Dearborn<br />

The warrant for the April<br />

24 Town Meeting closed<br />

Monday night with one final<br />

addition— an article petition<br />

for a new cinema at Market-<br />

Street.<br />

Philip Crawford, chairman<br />

of the Board of Selectmen,<br />

said National Development<br />

filed the zoning petition article<br />

earlier in the day.<br />

“Having a theater at MarketStreet<br />

is both the right<br />

thing for the center and an<br />

important thing,” said National<br />

Development founding<br />

partner Ted Tye at Monday’s<br />

selectmen meeting. “We want<br />

to be best in class at Market-<br />

Street...We need to give our<br />

guests a reason to keep coming<br />

back.”<br />

Tye argued that the theater<br />

would help the center<br />

stay ahead of the curve by<br />

creating an experiential<br />

shopping environment.<br />

Article 23 on the warrant<br />

would change the definition<br />

of allowed “recreational use”<br />

to include the use of a cinema<br />

that follows specific guidelines,<br />

such as a maximum<br />

height of one story and 40<br />

feet.<br />

The eight-screen theater<br />

would be incorporated into<br />

the existing open space at<br />

MarketStreet. According to<br />

Tye, the current plans are for<br />

a 39,000-square-foot structure<br />

adjacent to Gaslight<br />

near the rear of the development.<br />

February Pioneer Pride winners at LHS<br />

The two most recent winners<br />

of the Pioneer Pride<br />

Award were announced at<br />

Lynnfield High School this<br />

week.<br />

As a resident and practicing<br />

dentist in Lynnfield for<br />

almost thirty years, I was<br />

deeply concerned to learn<br />

that the Lynnfield Center<br />

Water District decided to remove<br />

fluoride from its water<br />

supply. At last April’s Annual<br />

Center Water District<br />

Meeting the Board voted to<br />

remove fluoride from the water<br />

after having successfully<br />

fluoridated the water since<br />

1959.<br />

diligence and commitment<br />

to excellence in all that she<br />

the student athlete as she is<br />

not only an important member<br />

of our Varsity Hockey<br />

team but she is also one of<br />

the newest members of the<br />

LHS chapter of the National<br />

Honor Society. A talented<br />

musician as well, Molly is a<br />

member of both our Jazz and<br />

SKA bands as well as a performer<br />

in LHS’ recent musical.<br />

It is indeed an honor to<br />

welcome her to the LHS Pioneer<br />

Pride Club.<br />

Local dentist supports fluoride in the water<br />

been clearly established. The<br />

CDC cites fluoridation as one<br />

of the top ten most successful<br />

public health achievements.<br />

The American Academy of<br />

Pediatricians and the American<br />

Dental Association endorse<br />

community water fluoridation.<br />

There has been over<br />

60 years of scientific studies<br />

that show the benefit and<br />

safety of fluoride. From a cost<br />

analysis standpoint every<br />

dollar spent on community<br />

fluoridation saves on average<br />

$38 in dental expenditures.<br />

In this day of increased<br />

healthcare costs this is certainly<br />

significant. From personal<br />

experience, every day<br />

I see the benefit of fluoride<br />

in my office. Children who<br />

ingest fluoride as their teeth<br />

are developing clearly have<br />

a lower if non-existent decay<br />

rate and adults benefit from<br />

the topical effect of fluoride<br />

at preventing cavities. As patients<br />

age they can become<br />

more susceptible to decay related<br />

to various medications<br />

and gum recession. Again,<br />

the topical effect of fluoride<br />

can play a significant role in<br />

controlling this. Water fluoridation<br />

in Massachusetts<br />

became widespread in the<br />

mid-1970’s through the MDC<br />

water supply. I see a dramatic<br />

difference with patients<br />

that were born prior to that<br />

period compared to patients<br />

after that. It is almost as if<br />

a “switch’ was turned off for<br />

decay.<br />

Certainly I have heard<br />

the concerns regarding the<br />

safety of fluoride through the<br />

years. Again with hundreds<br />

of scientific studies showing<br />

the benefits and safety of<br />

fluoride along with over 70<br />

years of use in community<br />

water supplies I cannot validate<br />

these concerns. Fluoride<br />

is a natural occurring mineral<br />

and when added to water<br />

is similar to Vitamin D being<br />

added to milk, iodine to salt<br />

and the availability of vaccines.<br />

It is a clear benefit to<br />

public health.<br />

I urge ratepayers of the<br />

Center Water District to attend<br />

the annual meeting on<br />

April 3 at the Middle School,<br />

and listen to the debate. Base<br />

your decision on facts and decided<br />

what is best for you,<br />

your families and the future<br />

public health of our community.<br />

A slow trip<br />

back in time<br />

HUCKLEBERRY<br />

From Page 1<br />

the days before roads and<br />

motorized vehicles. Several<br />

of the first graders mentioned<br />

horses, but Cochran<br />

said there were no horses<br />

until the Spanish introduced<br />

them to North America centuries<br />

later. She said the Native<br />

Americans either walked<br />

the miles to the ocean, or<br />

more conveniently, they took<br />

the local riverways.<br />

Cochran also demonstrated<br />

how the Native Americans<br />

made bowls out of trees that<br />

were in turn used to turn<br />

corn into cornmeal.<br />

One student asked about<br />

what the Native Americans<br />

did for fun, and if they had<br />

basketballs.<br />

“They didn’t have basketballs<br />

a long time ago, but<br />

they did have other toys,”<br />

said Cochran.<br />

The students were also<br />

encouraged to visit Drumlin<br />

Farm and learn more about<br />

the activities there and what<br />

it does to protect animals<br />

who cannot survive in the<br />

wild.<br />

“We produce food and<br />

there are farm animals,” said<br />

Cochran. “There’s a lot of<br />

wild country there too, where<br />

there a lot of wild animals.”<br />

Injured animals are<br />

brought to the farm for rehabilitation<br />

and kept on the<br />

farm if they can’t be released<br />

back into the wild.<br />

Rep. Jones: Circuit Breaker offers<br />

tax savings for qualifying seniors<br />

House Minority Leader<br />

Bradley H. Jones, Jr.<br />

(R-North Reading) would<br />

like to remind Massachusetts<br />

residents who are 65<br />

and older that they may be<br />

eligible for the state’s Circuit<br />

Breaker tax credit.<br />

Created by the Legislature<br />

in 1999, the Circuit<br />

Breaker offers financial relief<br />

to seniors whose property<br />

tax payments exceed 10<br />

percent of their annual income.<br />

Qualifying homeowners<br />

and renters can claim<br />

a credit of up to $1,070 on<br />

their state income tax form<br />

to offset the property taxes<br />

paid on their principal residence<br />

in 2016.<br />

Representative Jones<br />

noted that the tax credit is<br />

available to Massachusetts<br />

residents who:<br />

— Are 65 or older before<br />

January 1, 2017 (for taxpayers<br />

filing jointly, only<br />

one tax filer has to be 65 to<br />

qualify);<br />

— Own or rent residential<br />

property in Massachusetts<br />

and occupy the property as<br />

their principal residence;<br />

— Have an annual income<br />

that does not exceed $57,000<br />

for a single filer, $71,000 for a<br />

head of household, or $86,000<br />

for joint filers; and<br />

— Have property assessed<br />

at no more than<br />

$720,000 (before residential<br />

exemptions but after abatements).<br />

For homeowners, the<br />

amount of the tax credit is<br />

determined based on the<br />

amount by which the taxpayer’s<br />

property tax payments<br />

in the current tax<br />

year – including municipal<br />

water and sewer charges but<br />

excluding any abatement or<br />

exemption – exceeds 10 percent<br />

of the taxpayer’s total<br />

income. Renters can count<br />

25 percent of their rent payments<br />

made during the tax<br />

year as real estate tax payments.<br />

To claim the tax credit,<br />

taxpayers must submit a<br />

completed Schedule CB (Circuit<br />

Breaker Credit) form<br />

with their 2016 state income<br />

tax return. Eligible seniors<br />

must file a return to claim<br />

the tax credit even if they do<br />

not owe taxes.<br />

Representative Jones encourages<br />

anyone interested<br />

in learning more about<br />

the Circuit Breaker tax<br />

credit and the current eligibility<br />

guidelines to visit<br />

Town Meeting to face a reel issue<br />

CINEMA<br />

From Page 1<br />

If the vote passes, luxury<br />

theater group CMX will operate<br />

the theater and offer<br />

ticket pricing similar to other<br />

boutique theaters. Tye said<br />

each auditorium averages<br />

100 seats, and a glass lobby<br />

would be equipped with food<br />

and beverage.<br />

The firm also plans to<br />

propose a two-level, abovegrade<br />

additional parking<br />

structure by California Pizza<br />

Kitchen to accommodate<br />

theater patrons. This structure<br />

would not go before<br />

town meeting for a vote, but<br />

it will be reviewed by the<br />

planning board if Article 23<br />

passes.<br />

The development firm attempted<br />

to bring a theater<br />

into town in 2009, before<br />

MarketStreet had been constructed.<br />

Crawford said that although<br />

the project achieved<br />

a majority vote, it required a<br />

supermajority of two-thirds<br />

to pass. He said a special<br />

meeting for a full discussion<br />

about the project between developers<br />

and town management<br />

will likely take place on<br />

April 4.<br />

Board member Christopher<br />

Barrett questioned why<br />

National Development waited<br />

until the final possible day<br />

to come forward with their<br />

warrant request.<br />

Tye said the developer<br />

had “a lot of ducks to line<br />

up” in order to reach this<br />

point, particularly in regards<br />

to securing a lease<br />

with the operator.<br />

“We expect a few voices<br />

will rise to make this sound<br />

very threatening, but we actually<br />

don’t think it is,” he<br />

said. “We don’t want to see<br />

this be a neighborhood versus<br />

town issue.”<br />

A few residents at the<br />

meeting voiced skepticism<br />

regarding the development<br />

during the open comment period.<br />

“I feel that this proposal<br />

is disingenuous at best,” said<br />

resident David Basile. He<br />

asked that the vote on the<br />

theater be pushed off until<br />

the October Town Meeting.<br />

“Couldn’t we wait another six<br />

months? Do we really need to<br />

rush?” he asked.<br />

Support for Recreation Director salary increase<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

I am passionately writing to<br />

support our beloved Recreation<br />

Director, Mrs. Julie Mallett.<br />

It has come to my attention that<br />

the subject of a salary increase<br />

is being discussed to bring her<br />

to the lower end of what comparable<br />

towns pay their Recreation<br />

Directors. I honestly and truly<br />

support Mrs. Mallett and recommend<br />

she receive a commensurate<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

Recreation Director deserves pay raise<br />

I am writing to show my support<br />

for Julie Mallett, recreation<br />

director of Lynnfield, who is requesting<br />

a pay increase as part of<br />

the next fiscal budget.<br />

Over the last several years,<br />

my family has had the pleasure<br />

of attending and participating in<br />

many events run by the recreation<br />

department. My children<br />

have benefited from the summer<br />

recreation program, the after<br />

increase in financial compensation<br />

to place her in a competitive<br />

area of salary for her peers.<br />

Supporting a salary increase for<br />

Mrs. Mallett recognizes all that<br />

she has done for our wonderful<br />

community without ANY staff.<br />

Mrs. Mallett performs all<br />

functions in the Recreation<br />

Department without an assistant,<br />

an administrative staff person or<br />

a program director. Mrs. Mallett<br />

has solely grown the programming<br />

to reach all ages and all<br />

types of interests.<br />

Our community is quite fortunate<br />

to employ Mrs. Mallett!<br />

Mrs. Mallett loves her position<br />

as Recreation Director and loves<br />

our community dearly and she<br />

deserves to be compensated<br />

appropriately.<br />

CHOICE OF BLOOD THINNERS<br />

Patients who need to take anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medication to<br />

prevent blood clots may be faced with a choice between warfarin and the<br />

newer class of “novel oral anticoagulants” (NOACs) that include dabigatran<br />

(Pradaxa), rivaroxaban (Xarelto), apixaban (Eliquis), and edoxaban (Savaysa).<br />

While these drugs prevent blood clots, they also pose the risk of internal<br />

bleeding, primarily at two locations, the brain and the gastrointestinal (GI)<br />

tract. For warfarin, there is an antidote that stops the bleeding. Currently,<br />

Pradaxa is the only NOAC that has an antidote, which needs to be given<br />

intravenously. According to studies, NOACs cause fewer intracranial<br />

hemorrhages (“brain bleeds”) than warfarin, while Pradaxa and Xarelto have<br />

a higher risk of GI bleeds.<br />

If you take a blood thinner, it is important to talk with your doctor first<br />

before beginning any new medications - including over-the-counter items,<br />

vitamins and herbal medications. Your doctor may need to do blood tests<br />

more frequently if you are on warfarin and are starting a new medication.<br />

You, your doctor, and your pharmacist will work together as a team to make<br />

sure that taking your blood thinner does not stop you from living well and<br />

safely. For more information, please call VILLAGE PHARMACY at<br />

781-334-3133. We are located in the Colonial Shopping Center.<br />

HINT: While warfarin is a generic medication that is far less costly than<br />

NOACs, it requires frequent blood tests (usually every 2-4 weeks) to monitor<br />

the patient’s “international normalized ratio” (INR) level, which measures<br />

blood-clotting rate.<br />

Pet of the week<br />

​Three-year-old Bandit traveled to the Northeast Animal Shelter<br />

after being rescued and fostered in Florida. He is neutered and<br />

up-to-date on shots. He is an active and fun loving Shepherd and<br />

Pit Bull mix and he is looking forward to becoming an important<br />

member of a forever family. He walks well on a short leash and<br />

knows the command to “sit” before walking through doors. His<br />

favorite activities while outside are running, jumping in the snow<br />

and eating snow. He also plays a great game of fetch and loves<br />

running around with a rope toy in his mouth. While inside Bandit<br />

enjoys being petted and spending time with his people. Bandit<br />

gets along well with some dogs and does not care for others. If you<br />

are interested in meeting to adopt Bandit, please visit him at the<br />

Northeast Animal Shelter located at 347 Highland Ave. in Salem.<br />

Visiting hours are Monday-Friday 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. and weekends<br />

10 a.m. - 6 p.m. You can also find more information on their website<br />

As spring approaches<br />

we look for signs of new<br />

growth. It makes me think<br />

about that we are not much<br />

different than flowers. We<br />

all need certain things to<br />

grow. While a flower grows<br />

physically it does not have<br />

emotional needs. Yet, we, as<br />

humans, grow both physically<br />

and emotionally, and<br />

each necessitates different<br />

requirements. And those<br />

needs vary according to our<br />

biological age. I have actually<br />

written a children’s book<br />

on this subject with some local<br />

mini-yogis. I share these<br />

thoughts and lessons with<br />

them<br />

So, what do we need? The<br />

first thing that may come to<br />

your mind is that we need<br />

shelter, food, water, and air.<br />

And you would be right.<br />

In 1943 a psychologist,<br />

Abraham Maslow, became<br />

the first person to introduce<br />

the basic needs (physical<br />

and emotional) of humans.<br />

Usually they are shown as<br />

a pyramid, the lowest level<br />

deals with basic needs like<br />

shelter, sleep, food and water,<br />

the next level deals with<br />

safety and security and feeling<br />

free from harm, then love<br />

and affection and a sense<br />

of belonging and the most<br />

complex needs are situated<br />

at the top of the pyramid<br />

and include self-esteem and<br />

self-actualization or finding<br />

your destiny and reaching<br />

goals.<br />

Physiological needs are<br />

the physical requirements<br />

for human survival. If these<br />

requirements are not met,<br />

the human body cannot function<br />

properly. They include<br />

food and water etc. Emotional<br />

needs are what make us<br />

feel good in our heart. They<br />

include: peace, love, kindness,<br />

courage etc.<br />

But we view these needs<br />

from a different perspective<br />

than children and it is interesting<br />

to see how they look<br />

at this subject. Ask them<br />

about their needs. They will<br />

answer often without worry<br />

and produce a response with<br />

a smile. Older children will<br />

give it deeper thought because<br />

their simplest needs<br />

have already been met.<br />

Younger children may reply-my<br />

family, my house, my<br />

dog. Older children may reply-my<br />

friends, my football,<br />

my dance lessons, my grades.<br />

It is all about creating a balance<br />

and meeting the most<br />

basic needs will move us up<br />

the pyramid.<br />

Family Activities<br />

1. Draw a picture of a pot.<br />

Then draw what make you<br />

happy growing out of the<br />

pot<br />

2. Get a small pot for<br />

plants, place it in a common<br />

area, each week have a word<br />

or phrase that the family<br />

focuses on as a team. Being<br />

Brave! Sharing Kindness!<br />

Holy Spirit. You who made me see everything and<br />

showed me the way to reach my ideal. You who gave<br />

me the divine gift to forgive and to forget the wrong<br />

that is done to me and you who are in all instances of<br />

my life with me. I, in this short dialogue want to thank<br />

you for everything and confirm once more that I never<br />

want to be separated from you no matter how great<br />

the material desire may be. I want to be with you and<br />

my loved ones in your perpetual glory. Amen. Thank<br />

you for your love towards me and my loved ones.<br />

Persons must pray the prayer three consecutive days<br />

without asking their wish. After third day the wish will<br />

be granted no matter how difficult it may be. Then<br />

promise to publish this dialogue as soon as this favor<br />

is granted. I will never stop trusting in God and his<br />

power.<br />

MARCH 23, 2017 WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 9<br />

Making an Irish dinner last and last<br />

By Rosalie Harrington<br />

An older couple openly<br />

displays their contempt<br />

for one another’s opinions.<br />

A young couple celebrates<br />

“date night,” a relatively<br />

new phenomenon that gives<br />

young parents a few hours of<br />

freedom from their toddlers.<br />

A single guy talks about the<br />

March Madness highlights<br />

with the bartender, as he sets<br />

down a large plate of nicely<br />

iced dollar oysters from Cotuit.<br />

It’s Friday night at the bar<br />

in our neighborhood restaurant.<br />

The mood is a festive.<br />

It’s St. Patrick’s Day, dontcha<br />

know? We have a ringside<br />

seat to the activities and the<br />

fashions, lots of green ties,<br />

accents of green with jewelry,<br />

a few green hats.<br />

I had spent the morning<br />

with my grandsons, enjoying<br />

the chatting and arguing<br />

coming from the back seat.<br />

In the mood for some Irish<br />

music, I sang a few songs<br />

that I remembered and the<br />

boys giggled over my attempt<br />

to carry a tune, which was<br />

never one of my talents. It<br />

never deterred me, however,<br />

as I love to sing, whether in<br />

the shower, as I chop away in<br />

the kitchen and especially in<br />

the car along with the radio.<br />

Growing up in East Boston,<br />

St. Patrick’s Day wasn’t celebrated<br />

in the same way it<br />

was in Southie. I remember<br />

feeling some Irish heritage<br />

envy as a kid, watching the<br />

Irish celebrate on TV with<br />

a giant parade, led by then-<br />

Sen. John F. Kennedy, accompanied<br />

by bagpipes.<br />

My single mother had<br />

a boyfriend who was from<br />

Charlestown. An Irishman,<br />

he was active in local politics<br />

and volunteered at the<br />

Charlestown Boys Club.<br />

When he said he could arrange<br />

for us to attend the<br />

summer camps for boys and<br />

girls, sponsored by the club,<br />

my mother signed us up. A<br />

few months later, I was the<br />

only 12-year-old at Camp<br />

Lapham who was not Irish.<br />

Around the campfire at<br />

night, we sang songs about<br />

Ireland - “Danny Boy” and<br />

“Have You Ever Been Across<br />

the Sea to Ireland.” Many<br />

songs would bring tears to<br />

the group. A little different<br />

from my East Boston campfire<br />

remembrances of Dean<br />

Martin singing “If the moon<br />

hits your eyes like a big pizza<br />

pie, that’s amore.”<br />

I dropped my boys off from<br />

a morning of “thrifting” on<br />

a search for fanny packs.<br />

We were looking for two<br />

but found only one, which<br />

prompted a good showdown.<br />

We went to an art show at<br />

Montserrat College of Art,<br />

where their cousin Emma<br />

(age 16) had a piece on display.<br />

I dropped them off at<br />

home and wondered if, after<br />

a nap, I should go grocery<br />

shopping and prepare a<br />

boiled Irish dinner. I hadn’t<br />

even made my usual Irish<br />

soda bread this year. Given<br />

that my husband is vegetarian<br />

and it would just be the<br />

two of us for dinner, I decided<br />

we should have an early<br />

dinner at Jim’s, our name for<br />

Cygnet restaurant in Beverly<br />

Farms, as it’s the name<br />

of the owner. I was really in<br />

the mood for corned beef and<br />

cabbage, Todd would be happy<br />

with a salad.<br />

Cygnet reminds me a bit<br />

of Rosalie’s. It’s a cozy spot,<br />

filled with familiar faces -<br />

including that of my son,<br />

a frequent patron - off the<br />

train from Boston. There are<br />

fresh, decorative touches by<br />

Jim, who could easily be an<br />

interior decorator. Pictures of<br />

dogs and cats are beautifully<br />

displayed around the dining<br />

room. Maybe he wanted to be<br />

a veterinarian?<br />

I ordered a “low acid”<br />

white wine and a plate to<br />

share of the dollar oysters<br />

from Cotuit. It has become<br />

popular in restaurants in recent<br />

years to offer discount<br />

oysters in the first hour or so<br />

on certain nights, and Cygnet<br />

does it on weekends. Musicians,<br />

dressed in Irish garb,<br />

played bagpipes in front of<br />

the restaurant as I was enjoying<br />

a bountiful plate of<br />

corned beef, carrots, cabbage<br />

and potatoes. My joke about<br />

a seven-course Irish dinner<br />

being “boiled potatoes and a<br />

six pack” has long been stale,<br />

but I still like it.<br />

Jim arrived in his restaurant<br />

covered in green woolen<br />

garments of many shades,<br />

and stopped by our table for<br />

a chat. I complimented his<br />

pants, woven from the most<br />

itchy looking classic Irish<br />

wool, and Jim explained his<br />

solution - to wear long underwear<br />

under them, the only<br />

way to survive an evening<br />

in them, he noted. People<br />

are sometimes forced to suffer<br />

for their heritage. As we<br />

headed home to our cozy cottage,<br />

I felt good that I’d had<br />

my “fix” of St. Patty’s Day. A<br />

quite good fix, I dare say.<br />

Looking for past issues?<br />

Find them on weeklynews.net<br />

A plate of corned beef and cabbage catches the late-afternoon sunlight at Cygnet in Beverly Farms as music<br />

from bagpipes filters in from outside.<br />

Rosalie adds chick peas for a corned beef hash that has a surprising texture and flavor.<br />

Next Day Hash<br />

Restaurants love to serve huge portions of food to make sure nobody leaves hungry,<br />

so when we’re out for weekend dinners we often leave with a container of leftover<br />

meat and veggies. Before Todd became vegetarian a year ago he would love my<br />

hash, made of whatever was left over. With our St. Patrick’s dinner came the usual<br />

potatoes, carrots, cabbage and a nice piece of beautifully prepared and seasoned<br />

corned beef, the perfect ingredients for a great hash - plus, some additions from<br />

the fridge!<br />

— Saute 1 small onion chopped in a little olive oil.<br />

— Place the meat, about ½-inch-thick and sliced about 4-by-4 inches, in the processor<br />

and pulse quickly.<br />

— Place the meat in a bowl and season with a little dijon mustard.<br />

— In the processor, grind leftover carrots and place them in the bowl. The potatoes<br />

are probably cooked enough, pay attention to not making them too mushy.<br />

Bringing out the gluten is not good, which happens when you mix too much.<br />

— Chop the leftover cabbage by hand and add to the bowl. Then add the potatoes<br />

and onion.<br />

— Beat 1 egg and add to the bowl. If you happen to have, which I did, some<br />

freshly cooked chickpeas, grind about ½ cup of them; canned will do. (You must try<br />

soaking your own beans overnight sometime and simmering them with herbs. They<br />

are so good for salads, pasta dishes, veggie burgers.)<br />

— Make patties of the mix and slide them into a non-stick fry pan with a sprinkle<br />

of olive oil; cook on each side, flattening them and then sliding them carefully<br />

out to an ovenproof little dish and then back into the pan - this trick protects the<br />

patties from breaking.<br />

— Place under the broiler for 1 minute for nice color.<br />

— At serving time, place in a hot oven for just a few minutes to heat up.<br />

— Serve with a side of pesto, if you happen to have it, which you should if you<br />

follow my suggestions every week!

Now batting: spring sports<br />

By Anne Marie Tobin<br />

There is nothing like a sunny spring day to chase away<br />

the winter blues.<br />

Unless you live on the North Shore, where a late winter<br />

blizzard a week ago Tuesday buried the region with snow.<br />

The storm dumped anywhere from 10-12 inches, leaving<br />

many area high school athletic directors scrambling to<br />

schedule indoor space for spring season tryouts, which<br />

began on Monday.<br />

In Lynnfield, the boys and girls track teams and the<br />

boys lacrosse team took advantage of the 50-plus degree<br />

temperatures on Monday and Tuesday, running outdoors,<br />

stretching indoors in the gym, and working on proper<br />

techniques.<br />

The boys lacrosse team was in its customary location,<br />

working on conditioning and stick skills in the student<br />

parking lot in the late afternoon, while the girls team was<br />

inside the gym at night.<br />

The baseball team had a strong turnout and worked<br />

out in the gym, while the softball team was at the middle<br />

school in double sessions.<br />

Coach Peter Marinelli was disappointed with the small<br />

turnout.<br />

“This is as frustrated as I have ever been, and that says<br />

a lot,” said Marinelli. “I mean, I was at Brookline High<br />

when we lost 59 straight games, and it wasn’t as disappointing.<br />

We had only 10 girls in the first session for 9th<br />

and 10th graders, and only seven in the second session for<br />

juniors, seniors and returning players, so unless something<br />

changes, it looks like we will be down to just one team this<br />

season.”<br />

As of Tuesday afternoon, all Lynnfield fields were still<br />

covered in snow and likely would remain snow covered<br />

through the weekend after cold temperatures returned to<br />

the region Wednesday.<br />

The boys lacrosse team was scheduled for a scrimmage<br />

day this Saturday.<br />

“I don’t know, we know we aren’t allowed to shovel<br />

the field, so hopefully we can get the games in,” senior<br />

captain Kingsley Corona said. “We have a pretty good<br />

turnout, but we lost several guys to track, so the sooner we<br />

can get out there and see what we have the better.”<br />

Athletic director Michael Bierwirth said Lynnfield is<br />

ahead of the curve when it comes to baseball and softball.<br />

“Everyone is in the same situation with lacrosse and<br />

tennis, but with baseball and softball, with the turf fields,<br />

the minute the snow is gone, the fields are playable, which<br />

Softball pitcher Hayley O’Brien warms up during tryouts<br />

Monday.<br />

isn’t the case with teams that have grass fields,” he said.<br />

The girls tennis team had a limited practice on the<br />

middle school courts.<br />

“I knew we could get out on at least one court that was<br />

clear, so we had both the varsity and junior varsity teams<br />

practice outside for about an hour and a half,” coach Craig<br />

Stone said. “The boys team had a meeting, but rumor has it<br />

the DPW will be getting out the snowblowers and clearing<br />

the courts today (Tuesday), so hopefully we will have full<br />

access, unless we get the snow the weather people are<br />

starting to talk about for the weekend.”<br />

In Peabody, most of the tryouts were held in the field<br />

house, which was jam packed Monday and Tuesday from<br />

2 o’clock through nearly 10 p.m.<br />

The boys lacrosse team kicked off the week of tryouts at<br />

2 p.m. with a solid turnout of about 45 candidates. Girls<br />

lacrosse followed from 4-6 p.m. following which girls<br />

softball (6-8) and baseball (8-9:30) held their first session.<br />

With the high school courts still snowed under, both<br />

tennis teams did not practice.<br />

“We still don’t know if there will be enough kids to have<br />

a boys team, but we are doing everything we can to spread<br />

the word and get a few more kids to come out,” athletic director<br />

Phil Sheridan said. “They have struggled with numbers<br />

the last few years, and it’s tough to find the kids who<br />

want to play, but we are hoping to be able to get enough to<br />

keep the team going.”<br />

The lacrosse team is scheduled to host its annual<br />

jamboree for the benefit of the Bruce Lerch Memorial<br />

Scholarship fund beginning at 8 a.m. on Saturday.<br />

Senior captains Tim January, Jake Destefano and Nick<br />

Merryman were adamant that neither rain, nor snow nor<br />

sleet would keep the team from its appointed date.<br />

“We will be playing no matter what,” January said<br />

during a break on Monday.<br />

“If we have to shovel the field ourselves, that’s what<br />

we will do, said Destefano, with Merryman nodding in<br />

agreement.<br />

The spring season is the most challenging in terms of<br />

weather.<br />

The MIAA is considering a proposal to move the start<br />

date for the season back a week to the fourth Monday in<br />

March to allow for better weather and field conditions and<br />

reduce tournament conflicts that seniors have with graduations,<br />

proms and awards nights.<br />

The proposal, submitted by Dartmouth High athletic director<br />

Jeff Caron (who also submitted a proposal to move<br />

the winter start date season back a week) claims that by<br />

moving the season back a week, those conflicts along<br />

with the associated distractions, would disappear because<br />

spring tournaments would not begin until after senior<br />

weeks.<br />

“Most Massachusetts schools have senior weeks and<br />

graduations during a three-week period, so I’m not sure<br />

that moving the season start in either direction would solve<br />

the problem,” MIAA spokesperson Nathan Bonneau said.<br />

“It may help, but the rationale behind this proposal really<br />

is more about field readiness so that game postponements<br />

due to bad weather of fields not being available<br />

would likely be reduced.”<br />

Don’t hold your breath waiting for anything to change;<br />

the proposal has not been favorably received.<br />

So far, 17 sports committees have voted on the proposal<br />

with only one (gymnastics) approving it.<br />

Of the six spring sports committees that have voted, the<br />

proposal has been overwhelmingly rejected by a combined<br />

0-72-1 margin.

Fama, St. Mary’s fall in state basketball final<br />

By Anne Marie Tobin<br />

The St. Mary’s High boys<br />

basketball team’s quest for a<br />

second straight Division 4 state<br />

championship came to an end<br />

Saturday at Springfield College’s<br />

Blake Arena with a 62-42 loss to<br />

Maynard, which won its first state<br />

title in program history.<br />

The game was a rematch of last<br />

year’s final, won by St. Mary’s,<br />

which defeated the Tigers 61-<br />

52. That game was a back-andforth<br />

affair. Tied at 45-45 in<br />

the waning seconds of the third<br />

quarter, Spartans’ senior Joey<br />

Fama, a Lynnfield resident,<br />

canned a 3-pointer to give St.<br />

Mary’s the lead for good.<br />

Playing on James Naismith<br />

Court in the heart of the birthplace<br />

of basketball, both teams<br />

brought a full house of vocal fans.<br />

In the end, however, the Tigers’<br />

tenacious defense was simply too<br />

much to handle.<br />

St. Mary’s matched them early,<br />

leading 7-6 midway through<br />

the opening quarter, but an 8-0<br />

Maynard run put the Spartans in<br />

a 14-7 hole going into the second<br />

quarter.<br />

The Tigers kept their foot on<br />

the gas in the second quarter,<br />

stretching the lead to 28-14 at the<br />

half and 46-25 going into the final<br />

eight minutes.<br />

Just three days before the championship<br />

game, the Spartans had<br />

been in a similar predicament,<br />

but overcame a 21-point first half<br />

deficit to beat Cathedral, 74-68 in<br />

the semifinals. Against Maynard,<br />

St. Mary’s offense finally started<br />

to click in the final quarter and<br />

outscored the Tigers 17-16, but it<br />

was too little too late. Jonathan<br />

Mercado led the Spartans with 13<br />

points, while Jalen Echevarria of<br />

Peabody had 11 and Lynnfield’s<br />

Stephen Fama had six.<br />

Fama, who recently finished<br />

his freshman season on the New<br />

England College men’s basketball<br />

team, played a key role<br />

last year in the Spartans’ 65-64<br />

win over Cathedral in the state<br />

semifinals.<br />

This year, it was Fama’s<br />

younger brother, Stephen, a<br />

junior, and Peabody resident<br />

Echevarria, a sophomore, who<br />

came up big in the Spartans’ improbable<br />

comeback.<br />

For Fama, while the dream of<br />

another state title went by the<br />

boards, every day, win or lose or<br />

draw, is one to be treasured.<br />

Five years ago this May, Fama<br />

lay unconscious in the pediatric<br />

medical intensive care unit at<br />

Children’s Hospital in Boston<br />

Stephen Fama, 23 in the dark jersey, goes up for a shot during Saturday’s<br />

Division 4 state boys basketball final.<br />

suffering from encephalomyelitis,<br />

an acute swelling on the brain.<br />

On vacation in New Hampshire<br />

with friends over the Memorial<br />

Day weekend, Fama had spiked<br />

a fever of 103 degrees. His parents<br />

brought him home, then<br />

took him to Beverly Hospital on<br />

Memorial Day where he suffered<br />

two seizures.<br />

He was rushed by ambulance to<br />

Children’s.<br />

Following the diagnosis, Fama<br />

began to show signs of improvement.<br />

It was not until June 17,<br />

however, when he finally got<br />

back on his feet, standing with<br />

assistance.<br />

The next day, he was able to sit<br />

up, unassisted, and shoot hoops<br />

during a physical therapy session<br />

in celebration of his father Leo’s<br />

48th birthday.<br />

Altogether, Fama spent 19<br />

days in the pediatric ICU, six<br />

days on the neurological floor,<br />

and eight more days at Spaulding<br />

Rehabilitation Hospital.<br />

Fast forward to March 15 at<br />

Woburn High, and now, Fama<br />

was fighting for his basketball<br />

life.<br />

Cathedral manhandled the<br />

Spartans for much of the first<br />

half. The Panthers were red hot<br />

from the floor, making 13-of 20<br />

field goals in the first 11 minutes,<br />

while the Spartans made just<br />

3-of-24.<br />

The game ultimately was won<br />

- and nearly lost - on free throws.<br />

St. Mary’s made 22 of 31 free<br />

throws, while Cathedral went<br />

to the free throw line just three<br />

times, making two. The Spartans<br />

missed several chances to ice the<br />

game with under two minutes left,<br />

missing five of ten free throws<br />

(six attempts were double bonus).<br />

With a one point lead at 69-68<br />

and 1.3 seconds left, Echevarria<br />

was fouled. He made both, then<br />

Johnny Mercado stole the inbounds<br />

pass and heaved the ball<br />

down court at the buzzer in celebration.<br />

The ball, fittingly, went<br />

in.<br />

Echevarria hit five 3-pointers<br />

and scored a game-high 31<br />

points, including 10 in each of<br />

the final two quarters, while<br />

Fama (14 points, 13 rebounds,<br />

six assists), was all over the court,<br />

coming up with key rebounds,<br />

key steals and he also knocked<br />

down three timely threes. The<br />

duo was unstoppable in the third<br />

quarter when the Spartans turned<br />

a 36-22 halftime deficit into a<br />

48-47 advantage, while Mercado<br />

up a huge fourth quarter, with 11<br />

of his 13 points.<br />

Make no mistake, this game<br />

was not lost by Cathedral, which<br />

made 27 of 57 attempts, including<br />

8-of-13 in the final quarter.<br />

Cathedral hit its first seven<br />

shots in the second quarter to take<br />

a 33-12 lead with five minutes<br />

left in the first half.<br />

St. Mary’s appeared to be dead<br />

in the water.<br />

Enter Fama and Echevarria,<br />

who sparked a 10-3 run over the<br />

final 4:56 of the half.<br />

Fama started the run by making<br />

two free throws. Freshman guard<br />

Joshua Perez stole the ball and<br />

dished to Fama, who drained a<br />

three to make it 33-17. Echevarria<br />

then stole the ball and fed Fama,<br />

who dished back to Echeverria on<br />

the give-and-go to cut the deficit<br />

to 14 (33-19) with 3:01 left.<br />

As promising as the surge in<br />

offense was, the defense was also<br />

picking up the pace, holding the<br />

Panthers to one field goal over the<br />

final five minutes of the half.<br />

With a minute left, Fama deflected<br />

a rebound to Echevarria,<br />

who canned a three. Cathedral’s<br />

Emmanuel Green closed out the<br />

half with a free throw to bump the<br />

Panthers’ lead to 36-22.<br />

“We had a lot of turnovers in<br />

the first half, I think at least nine,<br />

so we said we had to take care of<br />

the ball and play each possession<br />

one by one, to cut the lead,” said<br />

Fama. “They were hitting all<br />

their shots in the first half, and our<br />

defensive rotation wasn’t good in<br />

that half, so we switched it up a<br />

little. Then, we started hitting our<br />

shots and everything seemed to<br />

go our way.”<br />

That’s putting it mildly.<br />

Echevarria drained a trey to<br />

start the second half, then Fama<br />

followed with two more and<br />

suddenly Cathedral’s lead was<br />

in single digits at 38-31. Fama<br />

turned down an open three, and<br />

dished off to Jonathan Mola.<br />

Mola drained it, then a Mercado<br />

hoop made it a four-point game,<br />

40-36. Fama turned down an<br />

open three and dished to Mola on<br />

the baseline, who laid it in and got<br />

fouled. He made the free throw<br />

to pull the Spartans to within one,<br />

40-39 with under a minute left.<br />

Fama then swiped the inbounds<br />

pass and found Echevarria, who<br />

drained a three to close out the<br />

quarter with St. Mary’s on top,<br />

48-47.<br />

Mercado hit three straight baskets<br />

(two of them threes) to start<br />

the final quarter and Echevarria<br />

connected on both ends of a<br />

one-and-one to spark a 10-2 St.<br />

Mary’s run, giving the Spartans<br />

their largest lead, 58-49 with five<br />

minutes to play.<br />

Cathedral refused to go away<br />

and went on a 17-9 run to pull to<br />

within two at 68-66 with 17 seconds<br />

left.<br />

After being intentionally<br />

fouled, Fama scored what turned<br />

out to be the game winning point<br />

when he made one of two free<br />

throws.<br />

“Looking back on it, if<br />

someone had told me I would be<br />

here today, and would have been<br />

a part of a state championship last<br />

year, I would have said they must<br />

be joking,” said Fama following<br />

the win. “I mean, I had to learn<br />

to walk again and it was tough, it<br />

was a long process that I had to<br />

learn to do almost everything all<br />

over again.”<br />

Fama said the lowest point<br />

in the game, being down by 21,<br />

ended up being the turning point.<br />

“Coach (Dave Brown) called<br />

a timeout and said he believed in<br />

us and there was no other team he<br />

would rather be coaching. He said<br />

we could win this game, that we<br />

just needed to pick it up. “Then at<br />

halftime, there wasn’t one person<br />

who thought we would go out like<br />

that and we knew we had to patient<br />

and take it one possession at<br />

a time, I mean, there is no such<br />

thing as a 21-point shot.”<br />

Certified “Beginner Friendly” by the NGCOA<br />

By Anne Marie Tobin<br />

Lynnfield native Danielle Nolan Normile is on a<br />

mission. The 2007 Lynnfield High School graduate<br />

is running the 121st Boston Marathon this April<br />

with the Spaulding Race for Rehab Team.<br />

Normile is running the race in honor of her cousin,<br />

Dylan Rizzo. On December 28, 2010, Rizzo’s car<br />

hit a patch of black ice on Summer Street just 200<br />

yards from his Salem Street home. He was rushed to<br />

Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Within<br />

an hour neurosurgeons had removed the left side of<br />

his skull and part of the right to make room for his<br />

brain to swell.<br />

But Rizzo had slipped into a deep coma and<br />

would remain in a coma for two weeks. After about<br />

a month, he finally opened his eyes. He was awake,<br />

but was not aware of his surroundings. He had transitioned<br />

into a vegetative state.<br />

Doctors initially said there was no hope for a successful<br />

recovery and that he likely would stay in a<br />

vegetative state the rest of his life.<br />

Joseph Giacino, a researcher at Spaulding Rehab<br />

Hospital, disagreed. He began studying the case.<br />

He explained that with practice he believed Dylan’s<br />

brain could get better. That’s when Dylan moved to<br />

Spaulding and they got to work.<br />

Dylan was a patient at Spaulding Boston for five<br />

months. Five years after the accident, Dylan proved<br />

Giacino was right, making a miraculous recovery<br />

and resuming many aspects of his pre-accident life,<br />

including volunteering as an assistant coach for the<br />

Lynnfield High School indoor and outdoor track<br />

teams.<br />

“Without the help of the amazing staff at<br />

Spaulding Rehab Hospital, my cousin may not have<br />

progressed to where he is today. My family is incredibly<br />

grateful towards Spaulding and I feel especially<br />

honored to have an opportunity to give back<br />

to Spaulding,” said Normile. “I know every day is<br />

a struggle but it’s also a miracle. My family owes a<br />

lot to Spaulding and I am flattered that I can do my<br />

part and give back to those that helped my family<br />

live through the worst year of our life.”<br />

Normile’s goal is to raise $8,000. To date, her<br />

campaign has raised $6,625 or 83 percent of her<br />

goal, not including proceeds from the Pizza with<br />

a Purpose fundraiser held March 13 at California<br />

Over the past 12 years, more than 350 Race for<br />

Rehab runners have raised over $3.5 million. Funds<br />

raised through the Race for Rehab program have<br />

provided advancements to patient care, education,<br />

research innovation and capital improvements.<br />

Every dollar supports Spaulding’s mission to improve<br />

the quality of life for persons recovering<br />

from or learning to live fully with illness, injury or<br />

disability.<br />

This year, funds raised will support the many<br />

research initiatives within the Spaulding Network.<br />

The research aims to improve the care provided to<br />

Spaulding patients, as well as patient outcomes in<br />

clinical areas such as spinal cord injury, brain injury,<br />

musculoskeletal and neurological disorders.<br />

MARCH 23, 2017 WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 15<br />

Giving it the old college try<br />

Several of the town’s athletes off to Division 1 schools in the fall<br />

By Joshua Kummins<br />

One of the latest Division 1 commits from Lynnfield is St.<br />

John’s Prep football standout Declan Burt, who is headed to<br />

Bryant University in the fall.<br />

The 6-foot-4 tight end, a fixture on both sides of the ball for<br />

head coach Brian St. Pierre for the last three seasons, follows<br />

in the footsteps of brother Jake, who plays at Boston College.<br />

“Obviously, college football is completely different from<br />

high school, but I’m excited to start something new,” Burt<br />

said. “I think what Coach (James) Perry is doing is going to<br />

take that program to a whole new level, so I’m excited to be a<br />

part of that.”<br />

Burt comes from a family with strong athletic bloodlines<br />

locally, so staying local to play collegiate football was an important<br />

consideration.<br />

Coming from Lynnfield is a point of pride for Burt too, and<br />

he’s happy to join a strong crop of athletes that includes his<br />

brother and Cam DeGeorge of the UConn football team and<br />

Matt Filipe of the Northeastern hockey team.<br />

“I love Lynnfield. It’s where I’ve spent my whole life,” Burt<br />

said. “I still hang out with the same kids I’ve been hanging out<br />

with since I was two or three years old. Everyone’s got each<br />

other’s back, and we’ve had a lot of unreal athletes come out<br />

of there.”<br />

After growing up in Lynnfield, he again followed in his<br />

brother’s footsteps and started a four-year career at St. John’s<br />

Prep, where he played for St. Pierre and alongside Jake for his<br />

final high school seasons before joining the BC offense.<br />

Declan’s time as an Eagle, where he was a three-year starter<br />

and helped the team to a pair of runner-up finishes in the<br />

Catholic Conference, was key to his development and where<br />

he stands today.<br />

“I played up my freshman year, but I was about 5-foot-7 and<br />

150 pounds, playing running back,” Burt said. “Sophomore<br />

year, I was 6-foot and got a decent amount of time behind my<br />

brother, and then I started junior year. I love the coaches here.<br />

Coach St. Pierre, he’s done so much for me. Playing sports<br />

here is such a different animal; it’s such a high level every<br />

single year.”<br />

As he moves from one high level to another, playing for his<br />

hometown will always be a priority.<br />

“The people who have come before me are unreal athletes,<br />

so just to be in the same category is an honor,” Burt said.<br />

•<br />

Adam Buchanan had the best of both worlds during his athletic<br />

career.<br />

The Princeton University football commit spent his first two<br />

years at Lynnfield High and then moved on to Buckingham,<br />

Browne & Nichols School in Cambridge, where he is a current<br />

senior. He looks back upon his time as a Pioneer proudly.<br />

“Those two years really helped me get my confidence up.<br />

I was able to play varsity for both football and basketball,”<br />

Buchanan said. “The town of Lynnfield is so supportive of<br />

their athletes and teams. The support we had during our two<br />

championship runs (in basketball) was huge.”<br />

Playing at the prep school level is a different animal and<br />

helped prepare Buchanan for the rigors of the Ivy League in<br />

both the academic and athletic arenas.<br />

With offers on the table at other Ivy League schools as well<br />

as some in the Patriot League, Buchanan felt that the Tigers<br />

provided the best fit and checked off all the boxes in both aspects.<br />

After experiencing academics and athletics in Lynnfield<br />

and at the prep school level, he’s ready.<br />

“I left after my sophomore year to go to BB&N, but I feel<br />

like if it weren’t for my first two years in Lynnfield, none of this<br />

would have happened,” he said. “It was the best fit for me. It’s<br />

a great academic school, which I obviously value. And, they<br />

just won the Ivy League in football. It was the best win-win.”<br />

•<br />

On the tennis court, Sarah Mezini has been Lynnfield High<br />

School’s top singles player for her entire four-year career,<br />

one that will culminate this spring and see her move onto the<br />

Division 1 level at the University of Massachusetts.<br />

However, Lynnfield head coach Craig Stone saw Mezini’s<br />

talent at a very early age ― as a fifth-grader in the middle<br />

school tennis program that he runs annually. Even at that point,<br />

Stone couldn’t wait for her to advance to the high school level<br />

and knew there was a future.<br />

“Even as a fifth-grader, she was probably the top player<br />

in the group,” Stone said. “She just continued to develop the<br />

skills and her athletic ability right on through. … She had<br />

talked about wanting to play Division 1 all along, so it was just<br />

a matter of finding the right fit.”<br />

As a freshman, she helped the Pioneers to a state championship<br />

and has played out of the No. 1 position ever since. That is<br />

an obvious memory that still stands above the rest in her career,<br />

and experience that has helped strengthen her career.<br />

Declan Burt, above, of Lynnfield and St. John’s Prep will<br />

be playing football at Bryant next year. Sarah Mezini,<br />

right, becomes the second Pioneer to choose UMass, following<br />

Abby Norwood, who rows for the women’s crew<br />

team.<br />

“It was unbelievable exposure, especially for a freshman,”<br />

Mezini said. “I feel that experience is definitely going to help<br />

me going into college. I do understand that it’s a whole different<br />

world. I’m not going to be the best on the team as it<br />

stands, but you have to work to get to the top.”<br />

As Mezini gets ready for UMass, Lynnfield has not only prepared<br />

her from an athletic perspective, but academically as well.<br />

“Lynnfield has definitely prepared me for college,” Mezini<br />

said. “I think a lot of the honors and AP classes show you what<br />

it’s going to be like in the long run when everything matters<br />

towards your career.”<br />

Mezini is the second Lynnfield High graduate in the last four<br />

years to play at UMass. Abby Norwood, a senior, is on the<br />

women’s crew team.<br />

•<br />

Paige MacEachern has been a part of a transformative period<br />

at UMass Lowell ― the school’s four-year transition period to<br />

complete Division 1 status and the America East Conference.<br />

A sophomore attack on the women’s lacrosse team,<br />

MacEachern has used her experience playing in a small town<br />

and for a younger high school program to her advantage as the<br />

River Hawks approach their first full-fledged D1 season.<br />

“Coming into an up-and-coming school, it’s been really cool<br />

to help start a (Division 1) program. I knew what the whole<br />

deal was going to be and how we would really have to build it<br />

up,” MacEachern said. “I was coming in as a ‘smaller fish in a<br />

bigger pond,’ so I think I was ready for that experience.”<br />

MacEachern, who also played soccer and ran track for the<br />

Pioneers, started 15 games as a freshman for the River Hawks.<br />

She has two goals and an assist through her first two games<br />

this season.<br />

She will have an opportunity to play full years with the program<br />

at full D1 status, and joining the River Hawks was the<br />

perfect opportunity to stay close to home.<br />

“Going to a local school, it’s a bit easier playing at such a<br />

high level being able to have your family come support you,”<br />

MacEachern said. “Everyone is keeping up. I know (Lynnfield<br />

coach Ethan Blanchette) came to see me a couple times last<br />

year and is coming this year, and I think it makes me work<br />

harder knowing that you’re from this small town that some<br />

people don’t know about.”<br />

•<br />

There may be no local with more of a whirlwind career than<br />

Jordan Roper.<br />

It began at Worcester’s Assumption College and continued<br />

at Northern Essex Community College, where he was a key<br />

contributor to the Knights en route to the National Junior<br />

College World Series last spring.<br />

Now, Roper is experiencing the “glamour” of college baseball’s<br />

highest level, at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.<br />

Still, no matter where the sport has taken him, he’s always felt<br />

close to home.<br />

“It’s completely surreal when you’re walking around your<br />

hometown and everyone notices you,” Roper said. “I grew<br />

up in that small town, where not a lot of people expect you<br />

to do big things in sports. It’s given me that extra chip on my<br />

shoulder to go out and keep doing it every day.”<br />

A preseason injury will keep Roper off the field for the Red<br />

Foxes this spring, but the now-redshirt sophomore’s plans for<br />

his first summer at the Division 1 level are taking shape.<br />

Following his second and final season at Northern Essex,<br />

Roper joined the Futures Collegiate League’s North Shore<br />

Navigators ― who play at Lynn’s Fraser Field ― midway<br />

through last summer and was the team’s leading hitter.<br />

Although he had another opportunity set in the New England<br />

Collegiate Baseball League, another uber-competitive summer<br />

circuit in the region, just after the conclusion of last season with<br />

the Navigators, this is where he feels at home.<br />

“I’ve talked back and forth with (Navigators manager<br />

John Zizzo) about coming back,” Roper said. “I signed with<br />

the Winnipesaukee Muskrats to go to the NECBL after last<br />

summer, but my heart’s at home after spending that time last<br />

summer there and being around all those good people.”<br />

•<br />

It was an exciting sophomore season for Bailey Fanikos, who<br />

played in 13 games as the seventh-ranked University of Virginia<br />

field hockey team won its first-ever Atlantic Coast Conference<br />

(ACC) championship and an NCAA Tournament game.<br />

The Cavaliers boast one of the nation’s most successful athletic<br />

programs overall, and Fanikos follows in the footsteps of<br />

cousin Caitlin, who graduated from UVA in 2015 after four<br />

years as a varsity rower. At times, it’s a far cry from little old<br />

Lynnfield.<br />

“It was a little bit intimidating, but it is honestly an honor to<br />

be a student-athlete here,” Fanikos said. “It’s humbling; it’s a<br />

great school and field hockey program. The whole aura about<br />

the school is just so special. It’s tough being far away from<br />

home, but I think it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”<br />

On Sep. 23, Fanikos got a taste of home as the Cavaliers,<br />

for the first time in her collegiate career, stopped at Boston<br />

College for an ACC game. Fanikos played and recorded a shot<br />

in Virginia’s 2-1 overtime win.<br />

It was an opportunity to see friends and family, and of course<br />

Lynnfield coach Mamie Reardon and her current team.<br />

“It’s awesome to see those girls and prove that hard work<br />

pays off,” Fanikos said. “And, just show them that you’ve<br />

got to stick to what you love and you can really accomplish<br />

anything.”<br />

•<br />

One of the best hockey players ever to come out of Lynnfield<br />

has flown under the radar the last two years. Braden Doyle,<br />

a sophomore defenseman at Lawrence Academy and Boston<br />

University commit, helped lead the Spartans to the Independent<br />

School League championship and No. 1 ranking in the New<br />

England prep school rankings this season. The Spartans<br />

clinched the regular season ISL title with a 3-2 overtime win<br />

over St. Sebastian’s last month. Doyle spent his freshman<br />

year playing for hockey powerhouse St. Mary’s-Shattuck in<br />

Fairbault, MN.<br />

such a dominate role in a community.<br />

Over the years, we have sold more than<br />

5,000 homes. Some homes we have sold<br />

numerous times. We have been successful<br />
