A performer

looks back on life

John Corcoran recalls the time he

met Paul Newman. “I busted him in the

nose. Everybody gasped.”

He also remembers the time he

steeled himself for a slap in the face

from Richard Gere. Instead, the actor

punched Corcoran in the kisser and

kneed him in the groin.

Corcoran, a Lynn native best known

locally as an Irish folk singer and children’s

entertainer, earned his living as a

stuntman for many years, appearing on

film sets with Newman (“Fort Apache,

The Bronx”), Gere (“The Cotton

Club”), Robin Williams (“The World

According to Garp”), James Cagney

(“Ragtime”), and other stars of stage

and screen. There’s a photo in his home

near the South elementary school of

him standing next to Art Carney; after

a half-hour in makeup, he was the spitting

image of the actor during 1984’s “A

Doctor’s Story.”

Corcoran achieved success early as

one half of The Corcoran Brothers (with

younger brother Brian), who had a devoted

national following and performed

frequently at the former Harp & Bard

Irish restaurant in Danvers.

Corcoran, 72, was honored at a

sold-out tribute concert on Jan. 19 at the

Lynn Knights of Columbus hall. Some

300 tickets were sold in a matter of minutes.

The event included performances

of Corcoran’s original songs and Irish

and folk favorites by dozens of musicians

whose careers were touched by

his work.

Corcoran has throat cancer, and it is

no longer responding to treatment.

Mayor Edward A. Bettencourt Jr. and

neighbors concerned about the latest proposal

for the JB Thomas Hospital site have

launched a petition drive against the developer’s

plan.

Bettencourt distributed the petitions at last

week’s neighborhood meeting on the King

Street site and plans to forward them to state

housing officials.

“He will collect signed petitions and letters

from residents by Feb. 12 and send them

altogether to MassHousing in time for the

Feb. 18 deadline,” said mayor’s chief of staff

Chris Ryder.

Residents can drop off letters and petitions

at City Hall, 24 Lowell St., mail them or attach

them to an email: Mayor@peabody-ma.gov.

The petition’s wording lists no fewer than

10 concerns Bettencourt said he shares not

only with residents but other city elected

officials.

“We the undersigned residents are

united in our opposition to Hemisphere

Development’s Chapter 40B housing proposal

for 15 King Street, site of the former

JB Thomas Hospital/Cura Healthcare facility.

Working in conjunction with Mayor

Bettencourt, members of the City Council,

School Committee, Public Safety and other

local officials, we have identified several

significant areas of concern. Chief among

Covenant Christian reinforces Ella’s Army

A year’s worth of hard work

paid off for Covenant Christian

Academy’s senior class with

its $7,000 donation to support

local Peabody-charity “Ella’s

Army.”

Class of 2020 members at

the West Peabody school partnered

with Ella’s Army early in

their junior year and have been

raising money for the charity

ever since.

Ella’s Army is a 501(c)3

Peabody based charity run by

Dennis and Erin O’Donnell

lost their daughter Ella Jade

O’Donnell in 2016 at the age

of 10, after a courageous 11-

month battle with brain cancer.

The O’Donnell’s in a statement

described Ella as a dancer,

an inspiration to those around

her, and a tenacious fighter

against the brain cancer that

eventually took her young life.

They said the Covenant senior

class gift is one of the largest

single gifts the charity has ever

received.

During the presentation

ceremony Pedro Tameirao, a

member of the class of 2020

who was instrumental in organizing

the fundraising efforts for

his class, reflected how moved

the entire senior class was by

Ella’s story and by her parents

commitment to come alongside

other families that might be

facing a similar diagnosis.

“We learned that the research

efforts supporting pediatric

cancers are tremendously underfunded

compared to other

cancers. We knew as a class that

this was something we wanted

to be a part of,” he said.

Each spring at Covenant

Christian Academy, students

in grades 7 -12 have the opportunity

to travel with their

classmates on an academically

focused trip that aligns

with specific curriculum

goals (called Academic Travel

Week).

It allows students to experience

the world outside the four

walls of the school, the living

classroom all around them.

This past spring, while other

classes visited the Battlefield at

Gettysburg, explored Quebec,

and did Marine Biology Science

Labs on the Chesapeake Bay,

the junior class took on a challenge

to come up with a “hard

thing” that will take great effort

to accomplish – and use it as an

opportunity to raise money to

fund a charity of their choice.

Class members quickly decided

they wanted to support the

efforts of Ella’s Army. Over the

course of six days, they canoed

down the Saco River in Maine,

and then biked across 75 miles

of Massachusetts, camping

all along the way. They raised

pledges from family and friends

in support of the trip, and also

organized numerous fundraisers

at school.

“This trip was really a test

of our endurance, both mentally

and physically,” Tameirao

said, adding, “Not only were we

pushed to our physical limits

with the canoeing and biking,

we also had to endure things

like an early spring attack by

mosquitos in the woods of

Maine and an overnight rainstorm

that flooded a few of our

tents. Even though our muscles

hurt, and we were itchy and wet

and exhausted, we never lost

sight of our goal. We encouraged

each other to keep going

for Ella.”

With the help of teachers

John McShane, Andrew Hoover

and Richelle Denman-Joseph,

students explored a variety of

locations and routes. Rail trails

provided an almost continuous

path for the biking stretch.

“This was quite a distance and

a difficult goal,” said McShane,

a science teacher and junior

class advisor at Covenant. “It’s

great to see students willing to

struggle through this and experience

some discomfort along

the way in the pursuit of serving

others.”

Michael Curtis, Dean of

Students at Covenant Christian

Academy, said the excursion

and fundraising effort encompassed

Covenant’s core

philosophy.

“There are really two goals

we’re hoping to accomplish

with this experience for our students

- first, before they graduate

and go off to college, we

think there is tremendous value

for them to be given the opportunity

to physically accomplish

something together that they

may not have thought they were

capable of.

“Secondly, we want our students

to have the opportunity

to personally serve a cause they

are passionate about. It allows

them to develop a real understanding

of what it looks like to

serve others.”

Annual Night to Remember on

Saturday, March 28 7-11 p.m.

City launches

offensive against

JB Thomas proposal

PROPOSAL

From page 1

these are the added strain on

our municipal infrastructure

including water and sewer and

road and sidewalk; an unanticipated

increase in our school

enrollment, lack of adequate

parking, added traffic congestion,

public safety concerns

and a reduction in overall

quality of life for the King

Street neighborhood,” the petition

states.

Site owner Hemisphere

Development Group, LLC has

pitched several options for

an age-restricted 55+ condominium

development, recently

announced its plans to go in a

different direction.

The Boston-developer announced

in a Jan. 6 statement

its intent to move forward

with plans to build 133 units

of housing under Chapter 40B,

the state’s affordable housing

law. The statement stopped

short of saying whether the

units would be apartments or

condominiums.

It went on to state the developer

has filed intent with

MassHousing, an independent

agency that finances affordable

housing in Massachusetts.

Hemisphere purchased the

property in December, 2017 for

$1.9 million after the closing of

Curahealth earlier that year.

The developer had originally

proposed in 2018 to build 150

age-restricted, 55-and-over

condominiums on the 3.2 acre

site, but subsequently scaled

down the number of units four

times to 110 units following

complaints from Emerson Park

residents over traffic congestion

and parking.

The project required a special

permit to replace the pre-existing

non-conforming hospital

use, but it never got that far

when the developer withdrew

its plans last summer.

Ward 4 Councilor Ed Charest

in January told the Weekly

News he is receptive toward

reviewing Hemisphere’s plans

now that the size of the developer’s

proposal has been

steadily reduced.

“They were willing to talk

and I liked the dialogue so

when we got down to 110

units, I did think that was the

best fit, as something was

going to go in there. The goal

from my perspective was to

find a happy medium for both

of us. We may have all preferred

that nothing be built,

but this is a developer who has

the right to build. Now, we are

stuck in a hard situation,” said

Charest.

In late November, 2019, in

response to the city’s Housing

Production Plan which calls

for an increased number of

affordable rental units to address

the fact that many city

dwellers were having serious

difficulty finding affordable

housing in Peabody, the developer

reached out to Peabody

residents seeking feedback.

Specifically, Hemisphere

asked residents for their opinions

on the right balance of

multi-family unit housing

with set-aside percentages for

affordable units.

The Jan. 6 statement said

that Hemisphere had attempted

to push the project through for

two years and, despite cutting

the number of proposed units

nearly 30 percent, the community

was still opposed to the

project.

The statement said, “In the

past few months, we have conducted

surveys, mailers and

digital messages to residents

and we continue to hear from

hundreds of residents who

want more affordable housing

in the city — many as high as

25 percent affordable on any

project.

“Given the site costs and

cleanup needed, our only option

is to build a multi residential

project of some type.

Given the continued opposition

to the age restricted condo

project, we have filed intent

with MassHousing to build 133

units at the site to meet both

the requirements of affordable

housing guidelines, and

to follow the guidance of the

Peabody Housing Production

draft.”

The housing production plan

emphasized the need for more

affordable housing in both the

rental market and homeowner

markets.

Chapter 40B has been

around since it was passed

into law in 1969. An affordable-housing

program, developers

can evade local

planning and zoning bylaws

provided at least 20 percent

of the proposed units are defined

as affordable. Under

the law, cities and towns are

virtually powerless to oppose

developers’ plans for 40B

projects if less than 10 percent

of housing in a city or

town is not defined as affordable.

Peabody is one of more

than 80 percent of cities and

towns that do not exceed the

10 percent threshold.

Charest, who has lived in

Ward 4 for 30-plus years, said

the 40B route allows the developer

to bypass the council.

A performer looks back on life

CORCORAN

From page 1

“It was a wonderful celebration,”

said Corcoran. “There’s a

tradition that when a fellow entertainer

passes, everyone meets at a

home or a hall after the funeral,

brings their instruments, and

plays music for (the departed),

music they’re known for.”

On Jan. 29, John Corcoran

sat and chatted in the “picture

room” of the Peabody home

where he and his wife of 50

years, Frances, who grew up in

this house, raised three children.

Photographs of the kids -- Sean,

Erin and Shane -- six grandchildren,

and other family members

fill nearly every square inch of

its four walls.

He’s in good spirits, happy to

revisit his abundant life. He has

come to accept his fate.

Corcoran, the oldest of John

and Rose Corcoran’s 15 kids,

began performing at age 15,

“borrowing” his older cousin’s

ID so he could get hired at

Rick’s Lounge in Lynn.

“I was thrilled. So was he,

when he got my W-2 form in

the mail.”

While still a student at St.

Mary’s High School, Corcoran

would catch the train to New

York City and make a beeline to

Washington Square, where he’d

hang around with Phil Ochs and

rising folkie Bob Dylan and

listen to folk music.

He performed at the Ballad

Tree tent at the 1965 Newport

Folk Festival and later teamed

with his brother Brian as The

Corcoran Brothers. They performed

and recorded with

many of the genre’s most respected

musicians, including

Tommy Makem and the Clancy

Brothers.

Corcoran performed for

President Jimmy Carter during

his 1978 appearance at Lynn

City Hall. He said he got into

a dust-up with a security guard

who insisted on checking out

his guitar case “to make sure

it wasn’t filled with hidden

weapons.”

While at St. Mary’s elementary

school, he played

violin with the Boston Pops

Children’s Orchestra, with

Leonard Bernstein conducting.

“I couldn’t play violin and I

couldn’t read music, so I copied

the girl next to me.”

There’s even an amusing story

regarding his courtship with the

former Frances Buckley, a Lynn

English High grad. “I was visiting

a friend at Lynn Hospital.

We were in the cafeteria …

and the student nurses came

in. I saw Fran and said ‘Wow!

Who’s she?’ Turns out, the guy

I asked was dating her. Within

two weeks I conned her into

going out with me. Our first date

was disastrous.” At son Sean’s

urging, he declined to elaborate.

“Years later, I asked Fran

‘Why did you marry me?’ She

said, ‘I thought your black hair

looked great against my blond.’

She has always been witty and

funny.”

After forming his own group,

John Corcoran and Co., he

worked at many of Boston’s

Irish pubs. He was a mainstay

at The Black Rose in Boston

and at The Prince Restaurant

in Saugus, where he performed

four nights a week and hosted

FEBRUARY 6, 2020


How to reduce the

risk of a heart attack

February is often considered

the month of love, with couples

and family members sending

heart emojis, heart-themed

cards and heart-shaped chocolates.

But what’s a better gift

to your loved ones than taking

care of your heart?

February is American Heart

Health Month. And while you

might first think of it as routine

campaign — it’s becoming

more important than ever.

Cardiovascular or heart disease

is the leading cause of death in

women and men, with obesity

and diabetes, which increase

a persons’s risk of heart attack

and stroke, on the rise.

While the statistics are

alarming, don’t panic. Research

shows that lifestyle changes can

greatly reduce your risk. Here’s

what you need to know:

What is American Heart

Health Month?

It’s a time to raise awareness

about the serious dangers of

heart disease and help people

work to reduce their risk of

heart attack, stroke and other

related complications.

The American Heart

Association promotes its wide

array of resources and partnerships

to provide people with

tools to reduce high blood pressure,

stress, help them eat better,

exercise and other key changes.

Why American Heart

Health Month is so

important:

Heart disease is responsible

for about one in every four

deaths in the U.S., claiming the

lives of more than half a million

people each year. About

735,000 Americans will have a

heart attack this year.

The numbers are scary, but

the steps to reduce your risk are

simple and clear.

How to reduce your risk of

heart disease and

heart attack:

The CDC outlines the top

lifestyle changes to make to

avoid heart complications. They

include the following:

• Quit smoking, this includes

e-cigarettes

• Maintain a healthy weight

• Eat a healthy diet and avoid

trans fats

• Start moving

• Treat your other health conditions,

especially if you have

high blood pressure, high cholesterol

and diabetes

The main takeaway? A person’s

lifestyle plays a huge role

in increasing or reducing their

risk, explained Dr. Suzanne

Steinbaum, a cardiologist at

The Mount Sinai Hospital and

a volunteer medical expert for

American Heart Association’s

Go Red for Women.

“All of these different components

are really what leads to

heart disease. This is all driven

by lifestyle. In my mind, that’s

very empowering because you

get to actually change the outcome

of your life based on how

you live daily,” said Steinbaum,

who serves as a national spokesperson

for the American Heart

Association.

Lastly, know the signs of

heart attack and stroke.

“It’s always about baby steps.

It’s never too late, let’s just start

there. It’s never too late to start

eating healthy, it’s never too late

to start moving. But you certainly

don’t start by running a

marathon, you start by walking

around the block,” she said.

Start walking around the

block daily.

Or find a low-impact, beginner

workout video for free

online. (Check out this guide.)

“We have become a truly sedentary

culture and the risk of

that is significant,” Steinbaum

said. “We see that if people get

up from their desks every hour,

even for a few minutes, it decreases

their risk. So I say to

everyone, you don’t have to go

the gym and go crazy, but you

do have to get up and do something.

And even walking shows

benefits.”

In addition to physical benefits,

aerobic exercise such as

walking, jogging or biking is

shown to increase cognition

and brain function in adults of

all ages.

Eat whole foods and limit all

sugary drinks.

This includes diet beverages,

and while you’re at it, steer

clear of fried food and processed

food

What does that mean on a

day-to-day basis?

“If you look at a package and

you can’t pronounce some of

the words that are in the ingredients,

don’t eat it. If there’s a

lot of chemicals, it’s processed

and it’s not good,” Steinbaum




said.

Eating vegetables gives

your body vitamins, minerals,

antioxidants and fiber. Some

healthy options? Consider

steamed vegetables with lean

protein such as chicken or fish,

whole wheat pasta with vegetables,

snacks such as nuts or an

apple with peanut butter or almond

butter that’s not heavily

sweetened.

“Whole foods help in stabilizing

sugar levels, decreasing

cholesterol and blood pressure,

they are really functionally

helpful to us,” Steinbaum

explained.

Reduce your stress.

There is an “enormous

amount” of literature linking

chronic psychological stress

to heart disease, noted Joel

Dimsdal, distinguished professor

emeritus and research

professor in the department of

psychiatry at the University of

California San Diego.

In his analysis of scientific literature,

he noted one study that

found people who felt chronic

or “permanent stress” at work

or at home were more than two

times more likely to develop a

heart attack.

In addition, being depressed

increases your risk, noted

Steinbaum, as it raises your

body’s level of inflammation.

“It needs to be managed

whether through lifestyle, medication.

Depression increases

risk of heart disease four fold,”

the cardiologist noted.

So what do you do about it,

when you feel anxious or helpless?

First and foremost, you

can always call, text or chat

with someone 24/7 to get immediate

mental health support.

Secondly, consider seeing a

professional counselor, therapist

or even talking with your

doctor. There are most likely affordable

or free options in your

community, or people who can

point you to someone. In addition,

consider adding meditation,

exercise, prayer and more

time with friends into your

schedule.

“Heart health is not something

to blow off,” Steinbaum

said. “Again, it’s never too

late.”

The Healthy Vegan

PAYS A VISIT TO P EABODY

PHOTOS BY SPENSER HASAK

Colin McCullough, author of “The Healthy Vegan Cookbook,” teaches attendees of his

presentation at the Peabody Institute Library South Branch how to make heart-healthy

vegan soups on Saturday.

Chopped potatoes are a basic ingredient in a vegan soup.

“The healthy vegan” blends water, cashews, bell peppers, and

carrots as he makes the base for a red lentil soup which he prepared

during the class.

Social Security for

minor children, part one

If you have minor children

at home, Social Security benefits

may be available to them.

Know these rules and get maximum

benefits for your family.

It is not so unusual today

for a person eligible for Social

Security retirement benefits

to have young children. Once

the parent files for benefits, a

minor child may also qualify

for Social Security dependent

benefits. The child can be a natural

child, an adopted child, or

a stepchild.

Each child may receive 50%

of the parent’s primary insurance

amount (PIA) up to the

family maximum. The benefit

may continue until the child is

18, or 19 if still in high school.

Example: Don is age 66 and

has a PIA of $2,400. He has

one child, Diane, who is 10.

Once Don files for his benefit,

Diane may receive a dependent

benefit of 50% of Don’s PIA, or

$1,200. This benefit may continue

until Diane turns 18.

Note that it will be necessary

for the parent to file for his own

benefit in order for the child

to receive benefits. Because it

is often recommended that the

higher-earning spouse delay

benefits to age 70 to maximize

both the retirement benefit and

the survivor benefit for the surviving

spouse, this creates a

conflict:

• Do you file early and take a

reduced benefit so you can start

benefits for the child?

• Or do you file at the optimal

time for your own lifetime

benefit even if it means missing

out on a few years of children’s

benefits?

We have analyzed this and

concluded that the optimal

strategy is to delay benefits.

Filing at 62 would cause the

primary earner’s benefit to be

reduced to such an extent that

the extra years of children’s

benefits would not make up for

the loss in lifetime benefits for

the worker and his surviving

spouse. Remember, when one

spouse dies, the couple’s lower

benefit will stop, and the higher

of the two benefits will continue.

The surviving spouse will

need a high survivor benefit

to maintain their standard of

living.

If your child is receiving a

benefit based on your record,

your spouse may be able to

receive a benefit for having a

child in care. The child-in-care

benefit is generally 50% of your

PIA until the child turns 16.

There are two issues that

could cause benefits to be reduced.

One is the earnings

test. The other is the family

maximum.

Most parents of minor children

must continue to work.

(There is college to save for,

after all.) If a parent files for

his benefit before full retirement

age, some or all of his

benefit – and all other benefits

paid on his record – may

be withheld for the earnings

test. Filing at full retirement

age or later avoids this mandatory

withholding of benefits.

Furthermore, any childin-care

benefits paid to the

spouse may be withheld if

the spouse works. Not much

can be done about this: If the

spouse is under full retirement

age and works, some or

all of the child-in-care benefit

may be withheld. However,

depending on how the family

maximum comes into play, it

may behoove the spouse to

forego the child-in-care benefit

to make more benefits

available to the children.

There is a maximum amount

of dependent benefits that

can be paid on each person’s

earnings record. This is called

the maximum family benefit

(MFB) and it is shown on your

Social Security statement. It’s

generally about 150% to 180%

of your PIA. Here’s how it

works: Your PIA is subtracted

from the MFB to determine the

amount of benefits that can be

paid to family members.

In Part Two, I will go over

some specific situations you

might encounter when you have

minor children drawing social

security benefits.

City wasting no time

on Welch work

The city is wasting no time

seeking a project manager to

oversee additions and renovations

to Welch Elementary School.

Advertisements seeking

project manager services are

posted and requesting applicants

to respond to the city Office of the

Purchasing Agent by Feb. 13, 4

p.m. Details on the school project

can be obtained by sending an

electronic mail request to purchasing@peabody-ma.gov

Peabody

secured

Massachusetts School Building

Authority (MSBA) approval

last October to begin planning

to renovate or replace the Welch.

The 50-year-old school needs

its heating system and windows

replaced and other upgrade

work designed to make

the school compatible with 21st

century academics.

The City Council last

September approved $1.2 million

to hire an architect and project

manager to complete the study

of the school and examine pros

and cons related to renovating the

Welch or building a new school.

Under the MSBA guidelines,

the state would reimburse the

city as much as 55 percent for

construction costs.

is moving forward less than two

months after the MSBA rejected

two other local school building

projects — Peabody High and

the Center School.

City officials responded to

the mid December rejection

by announcing plans to file

Statements of Interest (SOI)

for four school projects in 2020

with the Massachusetts School

Building Authority.

The projects are the West and

South Elementary Schools, the

high school and Center School

with proposals aimed at submitting

plans to the MSBA to get the

high school and Center accepted

into the MSBA Core program.

The deadline for filing is April 8.

The high school has inadequate

heat and air flow and

science labs space need updating.

Center School’s problems

include a leaky roof and

the lack of dedicated space for

a library (currently located in

a classroom), gymnasium and

cafeteria.

The city plans to file

Statements of Interest with

MSBA seeking to get the West

and South schools accepted into

the agency’s Accelerated Repair

program to upgrade and/or replace

the existing roofs.

The Accelerated Repair program’s

deadline is Friday, Feb. 14.

Sports

Boys basketball survives Revere

By Anne Marie Tobin

PEABODY —º The Peabody Tanners

boys basketball (8-8) team got a muchneeded

win at home Monday night, defeating

visiting Revere 63-55.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is Friday night the

Tanners will need to find a way to secure

another must-win victory against

a team — Beverly — that has lost only

one game all season long.

“Beverly is a fantastic team and they

beat us by 30 points the first time we

played them, so it’s going to be really,

really tough,” said Peabody coach Thad

Broughton. “They only have one loss

and that was to Lowell, the No. 1 team in

the state. They have two tough big guys

in Duncan Mooreland and Jack Crowley

who both are tough to stop. They are

very athletic and play inside and outside.

“Their guards can shoot and also get

to the hoop. Beverly is just a total team

and they also have depth and run guys in

and out.”

Broughton said the Tanners need to do

two things to have a shot at an upset win.

“We need to control those two and

deny them the ball,” said Broughton.

“Offensively, the key to beating them is

we need to score inside down low and hit

our shots from the outside. We will have

to mix it up.”

Broughton said that Peabody is

playing its best basketball of the season.

‘As of late we have been playing our

best basketball,’ he said. “The kids have

been a fantastic group and they have

hustled and battled all year. We’ve had

some injuries and sickness, but a lot of

guys have stepped up.

Broughton said it starts with guard

Joangel Lugo, who has been a mainstay

at point, averaging 11 points, three

steals and three assists per game. Kyle

Morfis is a good shooting guard and is

rock solid on defense. He is averaging

six points and three steals a game.

High School in Peabody.

low and has contributed in the rebounding

department, while Chioke

Onwuogu averages eight points and

eight rebounds a game.

Senior Tyler Joyce has been a steady

player and is an outside threat averaging

seven points per game. Joyce showed

he could play a tap dance on defense

against Revere Monday, playing much

of the game, including the entire second

half with four fouls.

The Revere win was far from easy.

The Tanners led by 23, 46-23, after

opening the second half with an 11-0

run. They still led by 19, 53-34, going

into the fourth quarter.

But the fourth quarter belonged to the

Patriots, who fought back and closed to

within five, 58-53 with 1:45 to go.

Peabody closed out the game at the

free throw line, thanks to Lugo (teamhigh

20 points), who converted four-of

four from the line with under a minute

left in the game.

“Revere got hot and we got cold, but

they made a nice comeback there in the

fourth quarter,” said Broughton. “It was

nice to hit our free throws there at the

end when we needed them, especially

Joangel, tonight he really stepped up. He

and Chioke, who pulled down some big

rebounds, really stepped up and helped

calm us down when Revere was making

their comeback.”

The first half was back-and-forth,

ending with the Tanners on top, 14-12.

Peabody made its move late in the

second quarter. Leading 22-21, Lugo

drained a three to make it 25-21 with

three minutes left in the half. An offensive

board and putback from Onwuogu

(nine points) bumped the lead to 27-21,

then Jean (four points) converted off the

offensive board to make it 29-21. Morfis,

who had already drained back-to-back

threes in the quarter, added a free throw

and swished another three to extend the

lead to 10, 31-21. Evan Saldana kept the

run going with another offensive putback,

then Alex DeNisco (six points)

capped the 12-0 run off a feed from Lugo

to make it 35-21.

Revere’s Crisrael Lithgow 19 points)

stopped the bleeding with a jumper

to send the teams into halftime with

Peabody on top, 35-23.

Peabody kept its foot on the gas in

the third quarter, outscoring the Patriots

18-13 to extend its lead to 19 at 53-34.

In the fourth, Revere went on a 14-3

run to close to within eight at 56-48 with

four minutes left. The Patriots closed to

within five at 58-53 with 1:45 to go, but

that was as close as they came.

Joyce also finished in double figures

with 12 points.

By Anne Marie Tobin

Tanners honor seniors in style

By Scot Cooper

The Peabody/Lynnfield girls

hockey team took a big step

toward a league championship

with a Senior Night 5-0 win

over visiting Marblehead Sat

Saturday at McVann-O’Keefe

Arena.

With the win, the team

maintained its share of first

place in the Northeastern

Hockey League standings with

Masconomet, which defeated

Beverly/Danvers 5-3. Both

teams, which sport identical

league records of 5-1-1 coming

into the regular season homestretch,

have two games left

in the regular season. Peabody

will play Beverly, which it beat

3-1 in their first meeting on Feb.

6 and will also play Winthrop at

Larson Arena on Feb. 12, while

the Chieftains have games remaining

against Medford and

Marblehead.

Prior to the start of the

Marblehead game, the team

honored its three seniors; North

Reading’s Sammie Mirasolo,

who will be studying management

at the University of

Massachusetts at Amherst;

North Reading’s Jeny Collins,

who will attend the University

of Vermont where she will

be studying history, and

Lynnfield’s Carolyn Garofoli

who will be heading to the

University of New Hampshire

where she will play field

hockey.

Peabody coach Michelle

Roach said she was glad all of

her seniors contributed to the

win.

“Those girls have been with

the program for four years, and

they’ve helped us get to where

we’ve gotten as a team,” she

said.

There were long stretches

where the action was pretty

even between, particularly

in the first period when

Marblehead held its own. Both

teams had plenty of scoring

opportunities, but Collins (28

saves) and Marbleheader goalie

Avery Olsen (38 saves) each

made a few big saves to keep

the game scoreless through the

first 15 minutes of play.

Peabody picked up the pace

in the second period. With a

player from each side in the penalty

box, Reilly Ganter scooped

up a loose puck and swished it

past Olsen about four and a half

minutes in to put Peabody on

top, 1-0.

Three minutes later the

Tanners doubled up the lead

when Ella McTeague took a

pass from Catherine Sweeney

and buried it. Mirasolo capped

the period’s scoring, with an assist

credited to Paige Thibedeau,

to make it a 3-0 game with one

Saturday.

period to go.

Peabody added a couple of

insurance goals in the third

period, the first from Hannah

Gramko (from Mirasolo). Jen

Flynn added an unassisted

short-handed goal with 56 seconds

remaining in the game.

Roach said she was pleased

with her team’s effort.

“We’ve been doing good

things with the puck, we’re not

just going through the motions,”

Roach said. “We did a good job

on coverage, where 9-5-1, and

now we get ready for Medford

Wednesday.”

Marblehead High coach Ryan

Wood said the team had a big

first period, and acknowledged

that Peabody really picked it up

in the second period.

“As the play went on, we kind

of second guessed ourselves,

we’re young and we’re going

to get better, we’re competitive

but we need to be a little more

competitive,” Wood said. “This

is a grind, this time of the year,

the girls played a really disciplined

game, the sky is up for

these guys, we’re taking our

lumps, but we’ll get better.”

Fenwick boys hoop in tourney

The Crusaders boys basketball

team improved to

10-4 and qualified for the

tournament with a Catholic

Conference League 53-50 win

at home against Cathedral on

Friday. Junior center Christian

Loescher had a big double-double

with 14 points and

12 rebounds. Sophomore guard

Jason Romans chipped in with

14 points and 8 assists.

Fenwick 52, Danvers 47

At Fenwick Tuesday,

Loescher recorded a double-double

with 16 points

and 10 rebounds and also hit

a clutch 3-pointer down the

stretch to help seal the win for

Fenwick. Jake Connolly also hit

a big shot late for the Crusaders.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Cathedral 56, Fenwick 39

At Cathedral Friday night,

the Crusaders (10-5) dropped

their second game of the season

to Cathedral. Junior Veronica

Tache’ had 15 points, freshman

Bella Romero had 10 points and

six rebounds, and junior Brynn

Bertucci had two points with

nine rebounds.

Fenwick 45, English 42

It certainly wasn’t pretty, but

somehow the Crusaders made

just enough good plays to prevail

Jan. 29 in a non-league

contest against the visiting

Bulldogs.

The Crusaders won it in

spite of themselves, surviving

a 26-turnover performance to

punch their ticket to the tournament

with their 10th win of the

season.

Annie Murphy had a monster

game, notching a double-double

with 15 points, 15 rebounds

and five blocked shots. Maria

Orfanos was also in double figures

with 11 points, three assists

and a steal. Freshman Isabella

Romero of Peabody also had a

good game with 12 rebounds

and six points.

“This was definitely not our

best effort and we just made so

many turnovers for seemingly

no reason,” said coach Adam

DeBaggis. “I told them at halftime

that we had two times

as many turnovers as shots it

seemed. We just at the player

and throw it to the other team.

There’s just no excuse for that.”

Fenwick led by nine, 33-24,

going into the fourth quarter.

But English went on an 8-2 run

to close to within three points,

35-32 with five minutes to go.

With 50 seconds left, Fenwick

was up by four, 39-35, but a

big defensive play by Veronica

Tache (6 points, 4 rebounds, 2

assists), standing her ground

to take a charge, gave the ball

back to Fenwick. Fenwick

then executed its prettiest play

of the game to put the game

out of reach when Murphy fed

Orfanos on the back door for an

uncontested layup.

“That was like in golf when

you have 40 terrible shots, but

then you hit that one good one

that makes it all worth it,” said

DeBaggis.

FEBRUARY 6, 2020


By Daniel Kane

Fenwick hockey stuns St. Mary’s

LYNN — It’s been an-up -and-down

season for the Bishop Fenwick boys

hockey team, but there’s no doubt the

Crusaders are riding high right now.

Led by a penalty kill that fought off six

power plays chances, Fenwick knocked

off St. Mary’s, 3-1, last week at Connery

Skating Rink.

“It’s huge for us,” Fenwick coach Jim

Quinlan said. “It’s a huge building thing

for us. We were like a roller coaster

going up and down. We went down to

Connecticut and played a No. 1 team

there, beat them 1-0 and played unbelievable.

Then we come home and we

struggle. It’s been hard for these kids, but

they never gave up. They had meetings

after the Arlington Catholic loss (6-3).

“I give (our team) tons of credit because

they put it together (Wednesday),”

Quinlan said. “They worked hard the last

two days for this game. They didn’t want

to lose this game.”

The Crusaders (7-6-1) had three

goal scorers in this one. Jake Murphy

got Fenwick on the board quick, Ian

Worthley scored the eventual game

winner late in the second period and a

red-hot Cam Martin added a huge insurance

goal to cap off the win.

“(Martin) has a great shot and we

need that,” Quinlan said. “He’s a great

hockey player, transferred in and has

been learning our ways. He’s starting to

come around, and has gotten three goals

in the last three games for us.”

Jack Vieira allowed an early goal but

was sharp the rest of the way while the

Crusader’s work preparing for St. Mary’s

power play paid off in a big way.

“We work penalty kill all the time,”

Quinlan said. “We were aggressive on

the penalty kill, I don’t sit in a box. I’ve

never coached that. I believe in attacking

constantly. (Davis Kinne) is their guy so

we keyed on him. We attacked and attacked

him so he wouldn’t be able to get

shots as much.”

Max Giardina scored St. Mary’s lone

goal, but overall the Spartan’s struggled

to find the back of the net.

“We really struggled,” Spartans coach

Mark Lee said. “We hit the crossbar

a couple of times. We missed a couple

wide open nets that could’ve changed

the game. But I give Fenwick credit,

they seemed to want it more than we

did. They battled for three periods and

seemed to have a little more energy.”

Fenwick had a goal waved off as the

St. Mary’s net got knocked off its bearings

but didn’t stop playing aggressive

in the opening minute. Murphy grabbed

a loose puck out front of the net and

scored just 58 seconds in to put Fenwick

ahead 1-0.

The Spartans responded midway

through the first. Chris Kolodziej had

the puck knocked away from his stick

but Giardina was there to finish the play

and score to tie things up at 1-1.

Things stayed tied for over 20 minutes

but Fenwick’s penalty kill stayed busy

dealing with four different St. Mary’s

power plays.

Just after killing off a man advantage

Worthley finished a 3-on-1 offensive

chance with a goal to put Fenwick ahead

2-1 with just 24 ticks left in the second

period.

The Spartans had a brief 5-on-3 advantage

early in the third but couldn’t

cash in. Martin added his insurance goal

with six minutes left on the clock and

Fenwick wrapped up the road win.

“We need to get better,” Lee said.

“Fenwick is a pretty good team but we

just as a team did not play well for three

periods. When you do that you’re not

going to be on the winning side of the

game.”

“The biggest thing is now this team

has some confidence,” Quinlan said.

“They were down because we lost to

Arlington Catholic, Melrose and played

terribly. Now they know we can play

with the best teams and beat them.

Tanner girls basketball is still struggling

ROUNDUP

By Anne Marie Tobin

The struggles of the Peabody

girls basketball team continued

last week, which concluded

with a 49-46 road loss to

Marblehead Friday night.

Peabody led by as many as

19 points, but struggled in the

second half, finishing with only

seven fourth-quarter points to

drop to 5-9 and put its tournament

hopes in jeopardy.

“We had the lead the whole

game but we just don’t have

the maturity to win the close

games,” said coach Stan

McKeen. “We led by seven

points going into the fourth

quarter, but scored only seven

and you aren’t going to win too

many games doing that.”

Senior captains Emily Carney

(13 points, five steals, five assists)

and Georgia Leon (11

points, five rebounds) led the

Tanners (5-9), while Emma

Bloom also had a good game

with nine points, 10 rebounds

and five assists.

“We are a young team and

young teams struggle in games

like this one,” McKeen. “Making

the tournament is going to be

close as we now have to win five

of our last six games, and that’s

not going to be easy.”

McKeen highlighted the play

of Carney, Leon and Bloom.

“That was Emily’s best game

of the season all-around and

Georgia played an excellent

game,” McKeen said. “Emma

also did a great job.”

Emily Clough and Leila

Walton both recorded double-doubles

for the Magicians

in the win, with Clough

notching 21 points and 15 rebounds

and Walton recording

14 points and 10 rebounds.

Maddie Erskine, Fehr Gillet,

Molly Cronin, Maddy Lowy

and Cat Candelaria also played

well for the Magicians (14-2).

Peabody’s next game is

Friday night at home against

NEC rival Beverly (7).

Winthrop 43, Peabody 40

The Tanners had the lead for

much of the game but too many

turnovers and fouls proved to

be fatal Jan. 29 at home. Taylor

Bettencourt led the Tanners

with nine points, while Leon

had eight. Forwards Amber

Kiricoples (11 rebounds, 6

points) and Lauryn Mendonca

(5 points, 5 rebounds) also

played well. Carney finished

with six points.

“At times, we play not to

win,” said McKeen. “The game

went from six to nine points to

start the third quarter and then

we made some tactical errors.

The third quarter has been our

nightmare all year.”

BOYS BASKETBALL

Marblehead 48, Peabody 43

Friday night at home, Tyler

Joyce led the Tanners with

17 points while Joangel Lugo

had 10 points and three steals.

Chioke Onwuogu had eight

points and eight rebounds.

Marblehead was led by Dylan

Freddo, who notched a double-double

with 13 points and 17

rebounds.

Cole Kronberg added 11

points, while Adam Zamansky

had six points and 10 rebounds.

Peabody (7-8) is back in

action Friday night at home

against NEC rival Beverly (7).

Peabody 74, Whittier 29

It was all Tanners all game

long in the Tanners’ win over

Whittier Tech Thursday night

at Peabody Veterans Memorial

High School. Thirteen Tanners

scored points.

“We wanted to try to get

as many guys in there as we

could,” Peabody coach Thad

Broughton. “I thought everybody

that came off the bench

did a really nice job. Whittier

was missing three starters

(Thursday). We knew that

coming into the game. But I

thought our guys played hard

and did a nice job.”

Lugo gave the Tanners the

spark they needed to have a

big night, scoring all 16 of

his points in the first half and

adding four steals. Onwuogu

also had a solid night with 10

points and four rebounds.

Peabody also got several

solid performances off the

bench. Gabe Claro scored six

points while Brajan Jakic added

six points and seven rebounds.

Drew Lucas and Nick Soper

each scored five points. Elvin

Saldana scored three points with

five rebounds. Krisli Miraka

(four points) also scored.

Peabody 70, Winthrop 37

Tuesday at Winthrop, the

Tanners earned the win behind

Lugo, who scored 24 points to

pace the offense. Joyce added

15 points.
