AD fires 

Hall of Fame 

By Anne Marie Tobin 

PEABODY — Peabody 

High boys hockey coach Mark 

Leonard has been fired. 

A few short months ago, 

Leonard was at the pinnacle 

of his career when he was inducted 

into the Peabody High 

School Athletic Hall of Fame 

last November. 

All that changed last week 

when he was informed by 

Peabody athletic director Bob 

Bua that he was out. 

“I was hoping to ride the 

wave through one more down 

year when some of talent from 

the youth program comes up,” 

said Leonard, the winningest 

hockey coach in Peabody history. 

“I’m so disappointed, as I 

thought that I would have had 

more support after so many 

coach 

years. But nobody had my 

back. That someone who put 

his heart and soul into Peabody 

athletics can be treated this 

way is sad, but after what happened 

to Tony (O’Donnell) and 

Butch (Melanaphy) last year, I 

shouldn’t be surprised. It’s not 

right to treat people who have 

given so many years only to be 

tossed aside because of parents’ 

complaints. But that’s what is 

happening in Peabody the last 

couple of years. Parents complain 

and their solution is get 

rid of the coach.” 

The Peabody coaching situation 

has been in a state of flux. 

O’Donnell was in his 18th year 

with the boys lacrosse team 

(seventh as head coach), when 

he abruptly resigned a few days

administration. LEONARD, PAGE 10 

A new vision for Veterans Memorial High 

By Thomas Grillo 

The city has taken the first 

step to replace its 48-year-old 

high school. 

“I was a student at Veterans 

Memorial High School when 

it was built in 1971 and it was 

the city’s crown jewel,” said 

School Committee member 

Beverley Ann Griffin Dunne. 

“It’s not anymore and must be 

replaced.” 

The seven-member panel 

voted unanimously last week 

to submit an application for 

funding to the Massachusetts 

School Building Authority 

(MSBA). The quasi-independent 

state agency funds a portion 

of the construction and 

renovation of public schools. 

If approved, the school could 

open as early as September 

2022. 

While many details have to 

be worked out, the new facility 

would be built on the school’s 

50-acre campus on Lowell 

Street. 

But there’s no guarantee the 

new school will be funded. 

Competition is fierce as communities 

scramble to replace 

outdated and overcrowded 

schools. Last year, MSBA approved 

only a dozen of the 70 

requests to fund new schools 

or major renovations. The 

agency plans to distribute $575 

million for the latest round of 

applications.

MARCH 21, 2019 

A new vision for Veterans Memorial High 

VISION 

From page 1 

The MSBA is funded by collecting 

one penny of the state’s 

6.25 percent sales tax, nearly 

$900 million last year. Since its 

inception in 2004, the agency has 

given $13.6 billion in reimbursements 

to municipalities and regional 

school districts for school 

construction projects. 

The next step is City Council 

approval, which is expected to be 

unanimous on Thursday, March 

28. The MSBA application deadline 

is April 12. 

It’s not known yet what a new 

high school would cost, but it’s a 

big ticket item. 

Last month, MSBA approved 

design of a 418,000-square-foot 

high school in Waltham for 1,830 

students for $310 million. 

Belmont is in the planning 

stages for a 410,000-square-foot 

multi-story building to house 

more than 2,000 students at a 

cost of $310 million. A new 

Somerville High School is under 

construction on a hill behind the 

existing school for $257 million. 

Costs have risen dramatically 

since the controversial Newton 

North High School was built in 

2000 for nearly $200 million. 

At the time, critics called it the 

Taj Mahal of school building 

projects. 

Still, communities are not on 

the hook for the entire amount. 

If MSBA gives the green light 

to Peabody, the agency would 

cover up to 56 percent of the cost. 

Typically, the city would borrow 

the money and pay it back over 

10-30 years. 

But the price tag does not dissuade 

Griffin Dunne. 

“I see what needs to be done,” 

she said. “It’s frustrating to fix 

a leaky roof in one section of 

the building only to see a leak 

spring in another section of the 

building.” 

Peabody has some experience 

securing MSBA funding and 

building new schools. 

In 2013, the city was awarded 

$43.6 million for the new J. Henry 

Higgins Middle School, or nearly 

47 percent of the $93 million 

school. The 221,518-square-foot 

facility was built to serve 1,340 

students in grades six through 

eight. It replaced the 50-year-old 

school that suffered from deficiencies 

in major building systems, 

including mechanical, electrical, 

heating and the roof. 

Mayor Edward A. Bettencourt 

Jr. did not return a call seeking 

comment. 

The mayor made construction 

of a new high school a priority 

in his State of the City address in 

January. 

Despite recent improvements, 

the mayor said the school will 

require millions of dollars to 

maintain. Decisions will have to 

be made whether school should 

be renovated or built new, he said 

at the time. The administration is 

leaning toward a new building.

Dunne said she plans to pray. 

“Once we submit the application,

she said.

Can you hear me now 

in South Peabody 

By Thomas Grillo 

A Land Court judge has been 

asked to clear the way for Verizon 

Wireless to build a cell tower 

in Peabody. 

A team of lawyers for the telecommunications 

giant sought 

Judge Jennifer Roberts’ approval 

last week to end 5-year-old court 

battle. 

At issue is the City Council’s 

opposition to a proposed tower 

on Lynn Street and the rejection 

of an alternate site on Coolidge 

Avenue. 

Under the federal Telecommunications 

Act of 1966, municipalities 

have little authority to 

prohibit towers. Verizon and the 

city have agreed there’s a service 

gap in south Peabody, but that’s 

where the consensus ends. 

In 2014, Verizon sought permission 

to construct a 60-foot 

tower behind Michael’s Limousine 

on Lynn Street. The City 

Council rejected that proposal, 

saying a tower does not belong 

in a residential neighborhood. 

Verizon then filed the first of two 

lawsuits. 

The city and Verizon later 

agreed on a new site at the rear 

of the Coolidge Avenue Water 

Treatment Plant. While that location 

for a 120-foot tower on 

public land was approved by 

the council in 2014, the municipal 

election the following year 

changed the membership of the 

panel. The new board rejected 

that spot as well. Verizon then 

filed its second lawsuit. 

The city then asked the Peabody 

Municipal Light Plant 

(PMLP) to install 5G technology, 

the newest genesis of broadband 

connection, on light poles. 

While that solution was acceptable 

to Verizon, the price tag of 

$750,000 killed the deal. 

Still, there’s a chance a deal 

could be worked out, according 

to Charles Orphanos, PMLP’s 

manager. 

“We continue to go back and 

forth,” he said. 

Michael Murphy, a Verizon 

spokesman, said in a statement 

the company is continuing to 

work with interested parties, 

including the city, to identify a 

solution to address the service 

needs of residents. 

The judge took the arguments 

under advisement. A verdict is 

expected this spring. 

Aspire gives Peabody family cause to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day 


Nadia Lincoln was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. 

She receives occupational, physical and speech 

therapy from Aspire. 

When a prenatal exam delivered 

a diagnosis of Down Syndrome 

for their unborn child, 

Semra Lincoln and her husband, 

Richard, were given an option that 

they never really seriously considered. 

“The doctors at Mass. General 

(Hospital) gave us the option to 

terminate (the pregnancy),” Semra 

Lincoln said, “but we knew that 

our faith in God would help us get 

through it.” 

Now that Nadia, who will turn 

three in May, is a happy, walking, 

talking child, the Lincolns can’t 

imagine what life would have 

been like without her. 

“God knew what he was doing,” 

Semra said. “She is the best 

thing to ever happen to us. She has 

given us so much joy.” 

The Lincolns are amazed at the 

progress Nadia has made and, as 

the world celebrates Down Syndrome 

Day Thursday, they are 

grateful for the Early Intervention 

supports provided by a team of 

therapists from Aspire Developmental 

Services. 

Nadia receives occupational, 

physical and speech therapy from 

Aspire, with case manager Kristen 

Evans coordinating the services. 

“Aspire has given us all the 

services we needed, more than 

we could have expected,” Semra 

said. “We got lucky when we 

got Kristen Evans. Four different 

people come to our house every 

week. They all work together to 

do what’s best for Nadia.” 

Nadia also gets hippotherapy, 

takes swim lessons and learned 

signed language at the Beverly 

School for the Deaf. She is speaking 

words in English and German 

(Semra is from Germany) and, by 

all accounts, will be ready for preschool 

in Peabody next year. 

“I didn’t think she would do this 

well,” Semra said. “I don’t know 

where we would be without all the 

services. She can do so much.”

DRUGS THAT MAY REDUCE PARKINSON’S RISK 

Based on previous research suggesting that people with autoimmune 

diseases had a lower risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, 

researchers embarked on a new study to explore any potential link 

between drugs that suppress the immune system and a Parkinson’s 

disease diagnosis. After comparing immune-suppressing drug usage 

for more than 48,000 people with newly diagnosed Parkinson’s 

disease against a control group of more than 52,000 individuals with 

no Parkinson’s diagnosis, researchers found a substantially lower risk 

of developing Parkinson’s disease among those who used two 

categories of immune-suppressing drugs, corticosteroids and inosine 

monophosphate dehydrogenase inhibitors. Four other categories of 

immune-suppressing drugs did not show as much change in risk. 

More research is needed to better understand the link. 

Your pharmacist is qualified to manage the complex medication 

regimens of patients with Parkinson’s disease by not only addressing 

motor and non-motor symptoms but also managing diabetes or 

hypertension, which may coexist with Parkinson’s disease. To learn 

more, please call VILLAGE PHARMACY at 781-334-3133. We feature 

ComputerRX for online refills and Parata Pas packaging system which 

allows us to customize the dispensing of your medications. Our 

pharmacy is located in the Colonial Shopping Center. 

HINT: Immune-suppressing drugs include those that fight inflammation 

and help the body accept donor organs.

Obituary 

Michael J. Tomich, 96 

LYNNFIELD — Michael 

J. Tomich, of Lynnfield, 

passed away peacefully 

on March 13, 2019, at 

the age of 96. Born in 

New York City, he was the 

son of the late John M. 

Tomich and Mary (Chantala) 

Tomich, immigrants 

from Eastern Europe 

looking for a better life for their 

children. Michael was in aviation 

school as WWII started, and 

served his country proudly as a 

Staff Sergeant airplane mechanic 

stationed in Northern Africa. After 

the war, he earned his Bachelor’s 

degree from NYU under the GI Bill 

of Rights and began a 50 year 

career as an engineer at General 

Electric. In 1955, he married 

Helen, the love of his life, and in 

1958 they moved to Lynnfield 

to raise their family. He worked 

tirelessly, receiving numerous supervisory 

promotions, and was 

credited for the invention of a 

system to contain broken turbine 

blades in the event of a jet engine 

failure. As a member of the 

self-sufficient “Greatest Generation,” 

he performed almost every 

home and car repair project, with 

meticulous precision. As a good 

neighbor, he generously gave of 

himself with his expertise, tools, 

and time. As a good father and 

grandfather, he gave his love and 

support, and delighted in the 

successes and achievements of 

his family. As a good husband, 

he showed his love for his wife in 

ways too numerous to count. He 

had a passion for square dancing, 

opera, and symphonies, and 

took great pride in his lawn and 

his shrubs. He waged daily war 

with the dandelions and squirrels 

who threatened his property. 

After retirement at the age of 75, 

he relished his regular meetings 

with his GE “old timers” 

groups. His resiliency 

was near legendary, as 

he bounced back from 

many medical aliments 

over his final 21 years, 

including falling off the 

roof at age 88 while trying 

to clear the gutters. 

He was a testimony to 

the power of exercise, good nutrition, 

and clean living. He cherished 

60 years of marriage to Helen, 

who worked to the age of 90. 

He would greet her at their front 

door with his signature daiquiri 

when she returned home. After 

her passing, Michael’s children 

and grandchildren treasured their 

time with him, knowing that every 

moment with him was a gift. 

He leaves behind John M. Tomich 

and wife Susan of Lynnfield, 

Carol-Ann Sullivan and her 

husband Joseph of Peabody, and 

Paul S. Tomich and his wife Lisa 

Stevenson of Brookline. He is 

also survived by his four grandchildren, 

David and his wife 

Claire of Cambridge, MA, Theresa 

Sullivan of Niskayuna, NY, Jennifer 

Tomich of Brookline MA, and 

Daniel Sullivan of Peabody, MA. 

He was predeceased by his wife, 

Helen (Blitvich) Tomich. 

Service information: Funeral 

is from the McDonald Funeral 

Home, 19 Yale Ave., Wakefield, 

on Friday, March 22, at 9 a.m. 

followed by a Funeral Mass in 

St. Maria Goretti Church, 112 

Chestnut St., Lynnfield, MA at 

10 a.m. Visitation for friends 

and relatives will be held at 

the funeral home on Thursday,

celebrates season 


PEABODY — The Peabody 

High boys basketball teams put 

the finishing touches on the 

2018-2019 season with their annual 

awards banquet at the Elks 

Club March 14. 

The Tanners were on the 

Division 1 North tournament 

bubble with three games left 

in the season, needing to win 

two of their last three games to 

qualify. While they fought to 

the bitter end, the Tanners came 

up just short, losing two overtime 

thrillers (one in double 

OT) to come up one game short 

with a 9-11 record. 

Senior forward and captain 

Michael Tansey received 

the Wiggin Award. He was 

also recognized for being the 

sole Tanner named to the 

Northeastern Conference All- 

Star team, averaging 12 points, 

six rebounds and two blocked 

shots per game. 

“Mike is the epitome of a 

great teammate,” said Peabody 

coach Thad Broughton. “He 

led our team every day in practices 

and games and mentored 

the younger players. Everyone 

Letter To 

The Editor 

looked up to him. He left everything 

he had on the court and 

will be successful in whatever 

he chooses to do. He was so important 

to our team both offensively 

and defensively with a 

great jump shot and pump fake 

and always made the big plays 

on defense.” 

Senior captain Joe ONeill 

received the Mavroulis Award, 

while senior Pat Rigol received 

the Coaches Award. Senior 

Will Preshong and senior Tyler 

Callahan received Tanner 

Awards. 

Alex Denisco received the 

junior varsity team’s Most 

Valuable Player Award. Steve 

Bua received the Offensive 

MVP Award and Nick Vecchio 

received the Defensive MV

She was replaced by Tawny 

Palmieri in the fall of 2018, 

who has also been hired to replace 

Melanaphy. 

Last spring, Melanaphy led 

the softball team to perhaps 

its best season in program history 

(18-4) and won its first 

tournament game in 10 years. 

Softball was the only team 

to win a spring Northeastern 

Conference title. Despite that 

fact, Melanaphy said Bua told 

him the school “wanted to go in 

a different direction.” 

“I couldn’t believe it when 

the athletic director told me 

that after the year we had, so 

I have no idea what direction 

they want to go, maybe 4-18?” 

said Melanaphy. “Coaching 24 

years, I expected more than just 

being called in by the athletic 

director and told I was done.” 

Leonard spent 24 seasons as 

head coach, beginning in 1995, 

after two years as an assistant. 

In 501 games (including 24

tournament games) he posted 

a 228-233-40 record. Under 

Leonard, who won three Coach 

of the Year awards, Peabody 

captured six league titles. 

In no time, he turned 

Peabody into powerhouse program, 

winning four straight 

Greater Boston League titles 

starting in 2000. During that 

span, Leonard led the Tanners 

to their first tournament berth 

in 19 years and had a run of 

10 straight winning seasons 

from 200-2011. His best season 

was 2009-2010 when the team 

won a record 18 games, won a 

Northeast Conference championship 

and reached the finals 

of the Division 2 North tournament 

for the first time in program 

history. 

After qualifying for the tournament 

in 2014-2015 (and winning 

a tourney game against 

Danvers), the Tanners fell on 

hard times the next three years, 

going a combined 4-52-4. 

“From 98-99 through 2010 

we were a Top-5 team with great 

teams and players, but every 

program has down years,” said 

Leonard. 

“Anyone who knows anything 

about Peabody hockey knew 

three years ago that the next four 

years we would not have the 

talent. We knew we had a weak 

group. I even brought up the idea 

of merging with the Lynn program, 

which was in the same boat 

as us with no talent coming in for 

the next two years.” 

At Peabody High, Leonard 

was an all-star stand out in 

soccer, hockey and baseball. 

A two-time North Shore 

Hockey Player of the Year, he 

played four years at UConn, garnering 

Rookie of the Year honors 

and setting a program record for 

most points scored as a freshman. 

He played professionally 

in the European Hockey 

Federation, twice leading the 

league in scoring. 

As far as the reasons behind his 

dismissal go, Leonard, currently 

president of Peabody Youth 

Hockey, said Bua cited multiple 

factors leading to the decision. 

“I was told by the athletic director 

that parents complained 

that I was being too negative, 

but we had kids who had no 

interest in working,” Leonard 

said. 

“He (Bua) said the program 

was losing kids and that kids 

threatened to quit if I came 

back, but kids always say that. 

I didn’t have one kid quit the 

team in the last three years. 

He said the losing games was 

another reason. I thought high 

school athletics was supposed 

to be more than winning games. 

“I was not supported by the 

AD when it involved issues or 

suspensions that were meant to 

send a message that I would not 

tolerate certain off-ice behavior 

by my players.” 

On Monday, Bua said the 

decision to let Leonard go was 

not an easy one but, “it’s a personnel 

issue and I can’t really 

discuss it any further.”
