Upbeat about surviving a downturn

By Thor Jourgensen

Luis Azevedo, veteran travel agent and owner of Gomes Travel Service in Peabody, urges

people to “stay put and wait for deals” amid concerns over COVID-19.

A travel agent for 42 years, Luis Azevedo is much calmer about

coronavirus than many of his clients anxious to cancel trips or wondering

if they can travel.

“It’s not going to put me out of commission,” said the owner of

Gomes Travel Service in Peabody.

With the virus tallying more cases and airlines slashing flights

as travel restrictions loom, Azevedo said his Main Street insurance

business will provide a financial cushion against travel business

losses.

Most of his clients are interested in traveling to southern Europe

and calls from anxious clients prompted him to assign an employee

full-time to fielding calls.

“Everybody is scrambling,” he said.

His advice? Stay put and wait for deals that, he said, will eventually

materialize.

Marisa L. Cole runs Sensational

Travel out of her Salem home

and depends on Peabody customers

to stay in business.

During 37 years in the travel

business, including 18 run her

own business, she has seen industry

downturns triggered by

the 9/11 terror attacks and 2008

economic downtown.

“I know I will survive. Our

clients really appreciate the service

we provide them. A travel

professional cuts through obstacles

to get things done,” she

said.

Like Cole, who is a certified

travel consultant, Kathy Lucey

of Saugus is helping her travel

Residents can learn April

14 about their risk for cardiovascular

disease, osteoporosis,

diabetes, and other chronic,

serious conditions with affordable

screenings by Life Line

Screening at the VFW Post

1011, 20 Stevens St.

Screenings check for:

The level of plaque buildup

in your arteries, related to risk

for heart disease, stroke and

overall vascular health.

Narrowing of the smaller

arteries of your ankles and

feet, called Peripheral Arterial

Disease; HDL and LDL cholesterol

levels; diabetes risk and

bone density as a risk for possible

osteoporosis.

Screenings are affordable,

convenient and accessible for

wheelchairs and those with

trouble walking. Free parking is

also available.

Packages start at $149, but

consultants will work with you

to create a package that is right

for you based on your age and

risk factors.

which allows customers to get

“I know it’s stressful for

The rapid and stressful alterations

prompted travel professionals

guide customers to a decision to

travel or not travel.

Tseitlin, owner of Free

Wind Travel in Lynn, and

Amy Grishman, owner of

Swampscott-based Charm &

Awe Travel Co., said airlines

are making changes day to day

in schedules and flights and also

making allowances on cancellations

and penalties.

Once they are positioned

to rebound, airlines will offer

discounts and deals to attract

customers.

“We’re anticipating travelers

will be offered great deals,”

Grishman said.

She urged people planning to

travel to avoid getting bogged

down on the internet and check

the Center for Disease Control

and World Health Organization

websites for accurate information

on coronavirus travel risks.

It’s only Grishman’s third

year in the travel business but

the former marketing professional

is confident she can

weather the virus and its impact

on business.

Tseitlin, who hopes a travel

rebound will make his firm’s

25th anniversary in October a

happy milestone, is doing his

best to get customers where

they want to go.

He reunited a woman with

family in the Ukraine by routing

her flight through Turkey.

Another client wants to fly to

Prague on March 28 for a spa

vacation.

“Our advice is put on hold

any plans,” Tseitlin said.

In light of the developing

COVID-19 situation, the Rotary

Club of Peabody has made the decision

to practice an abundance of

caution and adapt our Taste of the

North Shore into a virtual event.

We are doing everything we

can to adhere to safe practices

of social distancing while still

offering an event that offers

value to our supporters and participants,

keeping the health and

safety of everyone involved as

our first priority.

Raffle tickets are still available

and cost $100. Odds are

still in your favor as we still

sell a maximum of 300 tickets.

Drawing for the $10,000 grand

prize will still take place on

March 24 and will stream live at

8 p.m. Tickets will be made even

more valuable as we will also

raffle off additional prizes that

we have collected for the event.

We are reaching out to the

participating restaurants to

create offers for ticket holders

and hope you will support them

during this very trying time. We

BEVERLY — Paula Conrad

of Peabody, co-director of

“Express Yourself,” was on

hand at Bill Hanney’s North

Shore Music Theatre earlier in

March to celebrate the “golden

ticket” on-stage dinner party to

benefit the confluence of art and

mental health care.

The award winning youth arts

program Express Yourself celebrated

its 25-year partnership

with the Boch Center and state

Department of Mental Health.

Beverly-based Express

Yourself immerses at-risk

young people in the arts where

they find a powerful tool for

self-expression, uncover inner

strength, and deepen connection

with others. Each year-long

session culminates in a spectacular

springtime performance at

the Boch Center-Wang Theatre.

This year’s production, entitled

“Imagine Nation” is scheduled

to be held on May 21.

Guests included America’s

Got Talent” singer Amanda

Mena, artist Wes Sam-Bruce

(currently exhibiting at PEM),

Montserrat College of Art

president Kurt T. Steinberg,

Endicott College president

Steven DiSalvo, Boch Center

Board chairman Mark Weld,

and Cummings Center’s Steve

Drohosky.

Arriving “golden ticket”

guests strolled the red carpet

and walked to the dressing

room cocktail party with its

festive backstage atmosphere

before being ushered down the

aisle making grand entrances

to the theatrical onstage dinner

party.

The night culminated with

special guest performances

by singer Amanda Mena, poet

Regie Gibson and the Ricardo

Monzon Orchestra.

Five tips to focus on de-stressing

By Kristen Reed

Here are five must-try tips

for de-stressing in a time when

stress has been heightened.

After a long day at work we

may feel exhausted, on-edge,

and frazzled.

If this is the case, it’s crucial that

we focus on de-stressing so that

we can be present for ourselves

and our family, for our health and

wellbeing and to optimize sleep.

You deserve to feel good after putting

in the hard work at the office

or home with the kids.

Remember to breathe:

Practice deep breathing to

help center yourself by inhaling

relaxation and peace

and exhaling stress, tension

and overwhelm. Try to commit

to five deep cleansing breaths

in through your nose and out

through your mouth.

I like Dr. Weil’s “4-7-8” technique,

which entails breathing

in to a count of four, holding for

seven seconds, then exhaling

for eight counts. You’ll stimulate

your parasympathetic nervous

system and instantly feel

more relaxed, with decreased

heart rate, blood pressure and

muscle tension.

Practicing intention:

Set an intention before you

walk into your house. By set-

ting an intention we decide to

shift our mindset and think and

act accordingly. How do you

want to feel? What can you do

to get there? Think of an intention

that is positive, simple,

achievable and one that you believe

strongly in, and go with it.

Some examples are: I see the

good in each situation, I am

present for my children, I am

relaxed and grateful for my life,

I am rejuvenated by spending

time with my spouse.

Prioritizing priorities:

It’s important to identify your

priorities and focus on what

means the most to you. This may

be practicing some self care, sitting

down with your children to

talk about their day at school or

connecting with your husband

or wife over dinner. Be intentional

by focusing on what matters

most.

Take a screen break:

Chances are high that

you’re looking at a computer

screen or cell phone frequently

throughout the day. Take a

break from the screens and let

your mind and eyes rest.

Studies show that the blue

light emitted from these devices

can disrupt sleep and cause daytime

tiredness, so this is a prime

opportunity to start downshifting

the devices.

Move your body:

Find a way to move your body

in some way to get the feelgood

happiness and pleasure

hormone, Dopamine, flowing.

Not only will some form of exercise

decrease your stress from

the day at work, it also protects

you from long term stress.

I know what you’re probably

thinking, “I have no time” or

“I’m too tired.” I totally get it,

but commit to something that

seems doable, even for just 1

minute. Try 30 jumping jacks,

or 20 squats, 20 pushups and 20

crunches, a one minute plank,

or dance to your favorite music

(plus you can recruit your kids,

too.) Any little bit helps.

Legal strategies for unsettling times

By Patrick Curley

The coronavirus threat has

caused tremendous anxiety for

seniors and their loved ones.

In the last few weeks, media

pundits have recommended

countless “to do” lists on how

to prepare. Unfortunately, one

vital planning strategy is rarely

included on those “to do” lists.

That strategy is to get your legal

affairs in order.

It is especially important for

seniors to create a roadmap

for “what if” scenarios in the

future, whether that may be

Coronavirus or any other unexpected

event.

If you cannot make your

own healthcare decisions and

you have not done your legal

planning, or the planning you

have is outdated or inadequate,

your loved ones will be

forced to pursue a probate court

guardianship.

Waiting for the court to act,

however, could impact your

access to medical treatment

or even your right to participate

in available drug trials.

Any unusual health decisions

would require special court

oversight and any objecting

family member can grind the

process to a halt. Moreover,

going to court will be expensive

and stressful for your

loved ones – why put them

through that?

Instead, sign a Health Care

Proxy while you are well.

Also, sign a Health Information

Protection Act Authorization

and Release so your decision

makers have ready access

to your medical records and

information.

Consider signing a Living

Will to clarify your end-of-life

decision making wishes. This

can protect you against family

members who want to overrule

the Health Care Proxy because

they think they understand your

wishes better.

We set clients up with an

emergency medical identification

card to carry in their wallet

or purse. First responders and

medical institutions can easily

access their healthcare directives

through the card any time

of day, anywhere in the world.

This ensures that in an emergency,

your appointed agent

– not a stranger – is the person

calling the shots on your behalf.

You also have to plan ahead

for the management of your

financial affairs. No one will

have authority to pay your bills,

access your IRA or 401(k), or

deal with your real estate unless

you give them clear authority

to do so in a Durable Power of

Attorney (POA).

Beware that most POAs fail

to include all the necessary

authority to shield and protect

your nest egg if you require

long-term care, or to minimize

estate taxes if you have a taxable

estate. To get your POA

done right, be sure that your

attorney deals regularly with

asset protection planning and/or

estate tax planning.

If you have no POA or your

POA is inadequate, your loved

ones will be forced to pursue a

costly, stressful Probate Court

conservatorship.

This is also an opportunity

for you to check the beneficiaries

on your life insurance,

annuities, and other financial

accounts and assets, as those

beneficiaries may not reflect

your current wishes. Note

that your Will or other estate

planning documents will not

override your beneficiary designations

on these financial

products.

Everyone should have a will

so that upon your death, you –

not the Commonwealth – determine

where your assets pass.

For many families, a trust may

offer additional planning opportunities

and protections.

Several local colleges have

closed campuses, many concerts

and large gatherings have

been cancelled, and “social

distancing” is becoming the

new norm. For those who are

anxious about visiting an attorney’s

office, a good attorney

should be able to help you do

much of the planning through

telephone or video conferences

on your mobile phone.

Even an estate plan signing

can be conducted with strategic

preparations to minimize

risks. By way of

example, our office implemented

a detailed COVID-19

prevention and response

plan, which we update based

upon ongoing CDC and other

expert guidance.

While estate planning may

not prevent a healthcare crisis,

it can and will ensure that you

control who makes decisions. It

also prevents your loved ones

being left with an expensive,

stressful mess to fix in a tight

timeframe. Getting your legal

affairs in order today will give

you the peace of mind that you

have taken a tangible step to

truly be prepared for an uncertain

future.

Both Louis Ellis, left, and BillyArsenault reunited at Endicott this year to lead the Gulls to a 19-8 season.

Former Pioneers fly high at Endicott

By Anne Marie Tobin

BEVERLY — Two former

Lynnfield High School basketball

standouts were reunited this

past winter season at Endicott

College.

Billy Arseneault, a business

marketing major, started

his career at Assumption, but

transferred to Endicott for his

sophomore year, where he enjoyed

a breakout season for the

Gulls. They finished the season

19-8 following a heartbreaking

76-75 loss to Nichols College

in the Commonwealth Coast

Conference championship

game.

“Billy has been a tremendous

addition to our team this

season,” said Endicott head

coach Kevin Bettencourt. “We

saw him play quite a bit while

we were recruiting Lou Ellis

and we were not able to get him

out of high school, but were

lucky he decided to transfer to

us a year later.”

Junior Louis Ellis was also

a key contributor to the Gulls

this season, overcoming several

nagging injuries that curtailed

his playing time his first two

years.

“Unfortunately, Louis has

dealt with a string of minor injuries

which has caused some

inconsistencies outside of his

control,” Bettencourt said. “But

Lou has had a positive impact

on the court when healthy this

season.”

Arseneault — a 5-foot-11

point guard — started 24 of the

Gulls’ 25 regular season games,

averaging 9.3 points and 29.5

said Louis Ellis and Billy Arsenault have been positive additions

to the Gulls.

minutes a game, ranking fourth

and second respectively on the

team. He was third on the team

in shooting percentage (48.4

percent) and three-point percentage

(32.5 percent)

Bettencourt said Arseneault,

who had a team-best 2.7 assists-to-turnovers

ratio, is one

of the reasons why the Gulls are

ranked second in the nation in

that category (1.81).

“We were second in all of

Division III in assist-to-turnover

ratio and Billy was our

leader in that area,” Bettencourt

said. “He is a very unselfish

point guard whose ability to

break down the defense and get

the ball to the right places has

really set a great tone for our

offense.”

Arseneault had his 15 minutes

of fame in the Gulls’

come-from-behind 63-62 win

in the CCC semifinals over

No. 5 Wentworth. With less

than four seconds left in regulation,

Arseneault (11 points)

was the man of the hour, hitting

the game-winning bucket at the

buzzer.

At Lynnfield, Arseneault —

a two-time Cape Ann League

Player of the Year — finished

his three-year varsity career

with 1,022 points, becoming

the seventh Pioneer to hit the

1,000-point mark. He averaged

nearly 21 points and eight assists

per game his senior year.

Ellis — a 6-foot-4 forward —

has struggled with injuries, but

has found a regular place in the

rotation this year. He appeared

in 23 regular season games, averaging

10 minutes, nearly four

points and two rebounds per

game. A business management

major, he shot 46 percent from

the floor and 37 percent from

three-point land.

As a freshman, Ellis was a

part of a history-making game

in the Gulls’ 90-80 win over No.

7 Babson, the defending NCAA

Division III national champion.

That win was the first time the

2 Large

Cheese Pizzas

$14.99

Gulls had ever beaten an opponent

ranked No. 7 or higher in

program history.

“It has been a pleasure

watching Louis step up and

give us a boost off the bench

all season,” said Bettencourt.

“He was behind some upperclassmen

early on in his

career,but it was apparent in

the middle of last year that he

deserved to be getting some

minutes.

“He has continued to improve

throughout his career and

has been a great teammate regardless

of his role.”

At Lynnfield, Ellis served as

captain of the boys basketball

and football teams. He finished

his football career tied for the

all-time lead in touchdown receptions

(14) and was the 2016

CAL Player of the Year. In basketball,

he averaged 16.7 points

and six rebounds per game

during his senior year. He was

a two-time CAL First Team allstar,

the Lynnfield Male Athlete

of the Year and the Most

Valuable Player in the Agganis

All-Star game.

Spring

sports

put on

hold for

now

By Mike Alongi

The MIAA Board of Directors

voted on Monday to update the

start date for the 2020 spring

sports season, stating that spring

sports will begin on April 27. The

decision was made in accordance

with recent mandates and recommendations

for health safety from

Massachusetts Governor Charlie

Barker, the Center for Disease

Control and other governing

health agencies.

As has been the case with every

update during the COVID-19

coronavirus pandemic, the Board

of Directors stated that the situation

remains fluid and could

be readdressed at any point.

Previously, the start of the spring

season had been pushed back to

March 31.

The Board of Directors also

approved a vote to have the entire

spring season, both regular

season and tournament games,

completed by June 20. That

means there will be a total of 54

days for teams to complete the

season.

Considering the tightened

schedule, the MIAA Tournament

Management Committee will

address details regarding the

structure of the spring season.

There will be plenty to consider,

including things like how many

games to play, whether those

games should be league or nonleague

games, the mandates on

practice time and tournament

qualification standards.

St. Mary’s Athletic Director Jeff

Newhall sits on the Tournament

Management Committee.

“There is a lot that needs to be

addressed, first and foremost the

fact that the current rule is that

there needs to be 11 days of practice

before the games can start,”

said Newhall. “We might need to

look into potentially shortening

that, but even if we don’t then

we’re still looking at roughly

four weeks to play a full regular

season. I think we have to have

realistic expectations that we

might be able to play a little more

than half of the normal 20 games,

if that. There is a lot to be considered

at this point.”

An update on the new structure

will be provided by the

Tournament Management

Committee and reviewed by the

Board of Directors on March 25.

The MIAA’s decision to cut the spring sports season short due to the

Rooney; directly above is Jolene Murphy, who set records in the 100

Karakoudas the lead Panther

Peabody man

coached Beverly to

Garden party

By Anne Marie Tobin

BEVERLY — When the

Division 2 North champion

Beverly boys basketball team

took the court last Wednesday

night at TD Garden against South

champion Whitman-Hanson

in the semifinals of the state

Division 2 championship, the

Panthers were hoping to extend

their record-setting season and

punch their ticket to their firstever

state championship final.

It didn’t work out, but t he

Panthers have already raised

the basketball bar in Beverly,

setting a program mark for

single-season wins (21 and

counting) and winning the

Northeastern Conference North

title. The top-seeded Panthers

made their first trip in school

history to the sectional finals

and won their first sectional

championship in school history,

defeating No. 3 Belmont 76-69

Saturday at Tsongas Center.

At the epicenter of the

Panthers’ road to relevance

is third-year head coach Matt

Karakoudas, a Lynn resident

and Peabody native who

has instilled his blue-collar,

lunch-bucket mentality in his

players, resulting in a winning

formula of toughness, grit and

a never-say die attitude that

Karakoudas says is now paying

off in a big way.

“It took three years to get

on track in Beverly,” said

Karakoudas. “When I took the

job, I was told that Beverly is

not a basketball town and that

while it was a great school and

a great coaching job, Beverly

would never challenge for a

state title like I did in high

school. The goal was to make

Beverly a basketball city, and

judging by the respect I see we

are getting both in the community

and beyond, I would say

we have achieved that goal.”

Karakoudas, a Marblehead

Municipal Light Department

power lineman, grew up in

Peabody and learned the game

playing in the Peabody YMCA

League. He attended Higgins

Middle School, then moved on

to St. Mary’s, where he played

football and basketball, leading

the Spartans’ basketball team to

back-to-back state Division 4

championships in 2001 and 2002.

A two-time Catholic Conference

League All-Conference honoree,

he was the league’s MVP his senior

year in 2002 and a Globe and

Herald All-Scholastic when the

point guard averaged more than

20 points a game and posted 12

triple-doubles.

After graduating in 2002,

Karakoudas played four years

at Salem State. He said the

highlight of his collegiate career

was playing in the Sweet

16 of the NCAA Division III

tournament as a freshman in

2003 where the Vikings lost to

eventual champion Williams.

“Winning back-to-back high

school championships was so

rare then, so that was an incredible

accomplishment,” said

Karakoudas. “That’s something

you will have the rest of your

life, but getting to the Sweet

16 was incredible. That league

(NESCAC) is the equivalent of

a mini-D1 league as there are so

many great players who could

have played D1.”

Prior to taking the Beverly

job, Karakoudas spent four

years at Pope John, leading the

Tigers to a sectional final and

two semifinals.

“When we made the finals,

that was the best year in Pope

John basketball, but I had heard

the rumors and had a feeling the

school was in trouble and going

to close,” said Karakoudas. “I

wanted to continue my coaching

career and not be stuck, so the

timing at Beverly was perfect.”

Karakoudas said his approach

to taking what he perceived

to be soft physical ethics and

transforming it into a winning

formula was simple.

“I brought the way I played

the game, which was pretty

basic, just a hard-nosed, inyour-face,

gritty attitude and

style of play with everyone in

110 percent for every minute

of every practice and every

game,” he said. “It was a matter

of instilling mental and physical

toughness in the players,

which I didn’t see when I arrived.

I think that we are one of

the toughest teams mentally and

physically in the tournament

and that’s been key in getting to

where we are now.

“Nobody really thought we

could beat Belmont and many

people thought we wouldn’t

make it out of the first round

even though we were the No.

“I was lucky

to play for

and win two

state titles at

the Garden

and I know

those feelings

have always

stuck with

me and

always will,”

MATT

KARAKOUDAS

Beverly coach

1 seed. We played with a chip

on our shoulder, but we have

simply outworked everyone.”

Karakoudas said he has drawn

inspiration from knowing what

it means to win a state title.

“I was lucky to play for

and win two state titles at the

Garden and I know those feelings

have always stuck with

me and always will,” he said.

“I want to get my team to that

same point when the only

reason you have to stop playing

is because there aren’t any more

games. We want to be one of

the four teams who end the year

happy. It’s such a special experience

to play where the Celtics

play and it’s something you will

never forget.”

Red Cross: It’s safe to give blood

amid coronavirus concerns

DEDHAM – The American

Red Cross strongly urges

healthy, eligible individuals

who are feeling well to give

blood or platelets to help maintain

a sufficient blood supply

and prevent shortages as concerns

about the outbreak of

coronavirus disease 2019, or

COVID-19, rise in the U.S.

Cold and flu season has already

impacted the nation’s

ability to maintain its blood

supply. As the number of coronavirus

cases grows in the U.S.,

the number of people eligible to

give blood for patients in need

could decrease further.

“We’re asking the American

people to help keep the blood

supply stable during this challenging

time. As communities

across the country prepare for

this public health emergency,

it’s critical that plans include a

readily available blood supply

for hospital patients,” said

Chris Hrouda, president, Red

Cross Blood Services. “As fears

of coronavirus rise, low donor

participation could harm blood

availability at hospitals, and the

last thing a patient should worry

about is whether lifesaving

blood will be on the shelf when

they need it most.”

Please make an appointment

to donate blood now by using

the Red Cross Blood Donor

App, visiting RedCrossBlood.

org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS

(1-800-733-2767) or enabling

the Blood Donor Skill on any

Alexa Echo device. Blood donors

with type O blood and all

platelet donors are especially

needed right now.

Donating blood is a safe process

and people should not hesitate

to give or receive blood.

There are no data or evidence

that this coronavirus can be

transmissible by blood transfusion,

and there have been no

reported cases worldwide of

transmissions for any respiratory

virus, including this coronavirus,

from a transfusion.

The Red Cross only collects

blood from individuals who are

healthy and feeling well at the

time of donation – and who meet

other eligibility requirements,

available at RedCrossBlood.

org. At each blood drive and

donation center, Red Cross employees

follow thorough safety

protocols including wearing

gloves, routinely wiping down

donor-touched areas, using

sterile collection sets for every

donation, and preparing the arm

for donation with an aseptic

scrub. These mitigation measures

will help ensure blood

recipient safety, as well as staff

and donor safety in reducing

contact with those who may

potentially have this respiratory

infection.

Blood drive hosts play

important role

Blood drive hosts also play

a critical role in maintaining a

sufficient blood supply and are

asked to keep hosting blood

drives for patients who rely on

lifesaving blood. The need for

blood is constant, and volunteer

donors are the only source

of blood for those in need of

transfusions.

The Red Cross, with the help

of its blood drive hosts and

blood donors, can help ensure

the safety and availability of

the U.S. blood supply for patients

including accident and

burn victims, heart surgery and

organ transplant patients, and

those receiving treatment for

leukemia, cancer or sickle cell

disease.

“Keep giving, keep hosting

blood drives,” said Hrouda.

“Patients across the country

need our help.”

Red Cross committed to

blood supply safety

The top priority of the Red

Cross is the safety of our valued

staff, blood donors and blood

recipients, and we are committed

to transparency with the

American public during this

evolving public health emergency.

There are no data or

evidence that this coronavirus

can be transmissible by blood

transfusion, and there have been

no reported cases worldwide of

transmissions for any respiratory

virus including this coronavirus,

from a transfusion.

Nonetheless, the Red Cross

has implemented new blood donation

deferrals out of an abundance

of caution.

Individuals are asked to

postpone their donation for

28 days following:

• Travel to China and its

special administrative regions,

Hong Kong and Macau, as well

as Iran, Italy and South Korea;

• Diagnosis of COVID-19,

contact with a person who has

or is suspected to have the virus.

As the situation evolves,

the Red Cross will continue

to evaluate all emerging risks

in collaboration with the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration,

Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention and industry

partners to determine if additional

intervention strategies

are needed. Together, we stand

ready to keep the American

public informed and prepared.

Blood donation process:

A blood donation takes about

an hour from start to finish,

but the actual donation itself

only takes about 8-10 minutes.

Donors can also save up to

15 minutes at the blood drive

by completing a RapidPass®.

With RapidPass®, donors complete

the pre-donation reading

and health history questionnaire

online, on the day of donation,

from a mobile device

or computer. To complete a

RapidPass®, follow the instructions

at RedCrossBlood.org/

RapidPass or use the Red Cross

Blood Donor App.

To donate blood, individuals

need to bring a blood donor

card or driver’s license or two

other forms of identification

that are required at check-in.

Individuals who are 17 years

of age in most states (16 with

parental consent where allowed

by state law), weigh at least 110

pounds and are in generally

good health may be eligible to

donate blood. High school students

and other donors 18 years

of age and younger also must

meet certain height and weight

requirements.

Meet the brewers

NATICK — The suds were

flowing and the talk was

about hop earlier this month

as Peabody’s Granite Coast

Brewing helped support the

Mass Brewers Guild by raising

a pint and money for the trade

association.

Nine breweries were represented

at the event which raised

$3,250 for the trade association

and was held at Lookout

Farm in Natick. Produced by

Craft’d Company, the gathering

was billed as an opportunity to

“meet the brewers freshman

Class of 2020.”

“This event has attracted

quite a following and attendees

are excited to return year after

year to meet the state’s newest

crop of brewers,” says Katie

Stinchon, executive director

of the Mass Brewers Guild.

“Giving craft beer fans face time

with brewers while they hear

their start-up story, and sample

some of the state’s newest beer

is a unique twist on a beer festival.”

This is the fourth year

that the Mass Brewers Guild

has hosted this event.

Jeff Marquis of Granite Coast

Brewing donated his beer and

time to the cause, sharing the

brewery’s business story, answering

questions, and talking

about his craft in 12-minute intervals

while craft beer lovers

sampled their suds. The speed

dating style event helps to foster

deeper connections between

brewers and craft beer lovers

and inspire a greater education

of the brewing process.

The Mass Brewers Guild is

the state’s nonprofit organization

that works to protect and

promote the interest of craft

brewers. The intimate, roundtable

style tasting event featured

the state’s newly launched breweries

and offered ticket holders

unique access to brewers.

In addition to Granite, other

attendees included Backbeat

A Message to Our Valued Clients

The Berkshire Hathaway HomeService’s family has always prided itself on valuing relationships

over transactions. During this trying and unprecedented time we believe this principle to be more

true than ever. Our intention is to continue to assist you with all of your real estate needs, while

keeping our agents, employees and clients safe. We have alternative marketing strategies and

our agents can access any and all documents they need online as well as providing many of

these online resources for their clients during this time.

We also have a team dedicated to our response to this pandemic and plans have been put in

place to ensure the continuation of services. We are closely monitoring updates from the Centers

for Disease Control and the World Health Organization regarding COVID-19. We will continue to

seek guidance from these agencies, public health officials and government agencies on an

ongoing basis.

Stay safe and we will get through this together as a community!
