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.
at the Holy Ghost Society in

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

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
Have a story to share?

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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
