SERVING THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1957

Saluting the Class of 2020

By Anne Marie Tobin

After nearly five months of waiting,

Peabody High’s Class of 2020 finally

got its due.

The high school held its annual

Senior Awards Convocation ceremony

Friday. This year’s event was originally

scheduled for June 4, but was

postponed back in May in the hopes

that COVID-19 restrictions regarding

group settings would be relaxed.

Mission accomplished.

Mayor Ted Bettencourt’s remarks

were brief, saying he wanted to show

his respect and admiration for the

award winners.

“So much has fallen on your class

and you have handled yourself with

such class and dignity in trying to be

together as a community during these

difficult times,” he said. “This is a time

to recognize and show our appreciation

for all of your accomplishments. All

of the hard work you put in on your

journey to get to this point demands

recognition, demands reward and demands

appreciation from all of us. You

deserve all of this.”

Assistant Superintendent Dr. Chris

Lord welcomed the attendees, limited

to one graduate and two family members

who sat together, safely distanced

from other families by at least six feet.

Lord shared several quotes from students,

saying he thought it made sense

to hear their own words about their

experiences.

“Why fit in when you were born to

stand out?” said Chioke Omwuogu.

From Magdalena Anderle, “I don’t

know where I’m going from here, but

I promise it won’t be boring.”

The highlight of the evening was

the presentation of George Peabody

Medals to the top eight academic seniors

(and the schools they will be

attending this fall) - Valedictorian

University), Salutatorian Alexandra

By Anne Marie Tobin

Calls for social justice, change and a

kinder, gentler America were the main

messages delivered Saturday at Peabody

High’s long-awaited Class of 2020 graduation

exercises.

The ceremony, the 50th held at Peabody

Veterans Memorial High School, was attended

by more than 300 graduates and

their families, who sat together in groups

of three on the football field.

“I couldn’t be happier with today’s

graduation ceremony,” said Peabody

School Superintendent Dr. Josh Vadala.

“I’m thrilled that the graduates and their

families had the opportunity to come together

and celebrate one last time. There

was a great sense of pride and happiness

that filled the stadium today. We are so

grateful that we were able to bring those

feelings back to the community.”

Peabody Mayor Ted Bettencourt said

the class accomplished something “truly

special” in spite of a year full of grief,

loss and the uncertainty and disappointment

brought on by COVID-19.

“You stayed focused on your goals,” he

said. “By facing adversity head on, you

are stronger and better prepared for what

lies ahead. We are all rooting for you to

make a positive difference in our world.”

Class Co-President Jean-Edward

Moise called for a moment of silence for

three victims of racism and police brutality,

Ahmaud Arbury, Breanna Taylor

and George Floyd. He urged his classmates

to “take time to question your

beliefs, take time to question who you

CASH ‘N’ CARRY AVAILABLE AT OUR LOCATION

By Anne Marie Tobin

With the district finally

closing the door on a most

unprecedented year, School

Superintendent Dr. Josh Vadala

and his leadership team can

now turn their full attention to

the fall.

Like every district in

Massachusetts, Peabody submitted

its initial reopening

plan to the Department of

Elementary and Secondary

Education (DESE) on July 31.

At a school committee meeting

July 24, Vadala said the submission

was only a brief recap

of the results of a reopening

feasibility study. A full threepronged

proposal must be submitted

to DESE by Aug. 10.

Vadala said the response to

district-wide surveys sent to

faculty, staff and families has

been extremely positive.

“I am incredibly impressed

with the response rate from our

families. We have had nearly

3,100 families representing

4,800 students who responded,”

Vadala said.

At the most recent School

Committee meeting, the district

unanimously approved the

hiring of a Grade 4 teacher at the

Carroll School and a school adjustment

counselor to be based

at the Higgins Middle School.

“As kids return to school,

there will be a lot of trauma,”

said Vadala. “Down the road

if we have more money we

can look at more schools’

positions.”

In a letter to families dated

July 24, Vadala said the goal for

the fall is the “safe return of as

many students as possible to inperson

school settings, to maximize

learning and address our

students’ holistic needs.”

The letter went on to say that

a reopening task force has been

created “to address policy and

communication surrounding the

return to school this fall,” and

that various subcommittees are

working on issues concerning

professional development,

transportation, facilities and

operations, food services and

alternative childcare options.

Additionally, each school has

developed its own implementation

team consisting of administrators,

teachers, parents and

support staff.

At the meeting, Vadala said,

from a feasibility standpoint,

“we can fit all our students in

our buildings with three-feet

distancing if we were to bring

kids back, face-to-face, in

person.”

Vadala said that a hybrid remote

and in-person plan based

on six-feet distancing would

result in having only 60 percent

of the students back at the same

time under a two-day on and

two-day off plan. The district

has also looked at a week-on,

week-off plan and a half-day

plan.

“The families really were

plan and that also had the faculty’s

support,” Vadala said. “If

we go to a hybrid model, we

would likely be trending in that

direction, but no decisions have

been made.”

Plans to supply Chromebooks

to every student are also in the

works. Vadala said the district

is “close” to securing a grant

that would pay for them and

increased band-width and hot

spots across the city for those

without internet access at home.

“We want to be able to prepare

to either go remote or

start out as a hybrid and then

be able to flip the switch right

away to remote in the event

there is a COVID spike,” said

Vadala. “With (Chromebooks),

we would be much better

prepared.”

Vadala gave a shout out to

Mayor Ted Bettencourt and the

city for allocating relief funds to

the schools.

“Many school districts have

had to use their grants for PPE,

so being able to not have to do

that with this grant has allowed

us to save jobs and really prepare

so we can be successful

when we go back,” Vadala said.

“I want to put it out there how

impressed I am with the city

and how grateful I am to the

Mayor.”

Peabody-to-Salem trolley plan on track

By Anne Marie Tobin

A Peabody-to-Salem trolley

service is inching closer to

becoming a reality, thanks

to an amendment by Sen.

Joan B.Lovely (D-Salem)

to the ENDURE Act, which

was recently passed by the

Massachusetts Senate.

The Act allocates $500,000 in

capital funds to the project.

Peabody Director of

Community Development Curt

Bellavance said the funds will

allow the city to begin the process

of narrowing down the

many ideas that have been discussed

in connection with the

project.

“We’ve been talking about

this for a while now and need to

test the waters out there to see

what type and level of ridership

is out there to figure out what

kind of program we can run,”

he said.

“We will likely bring in a

consultant to guide us in setting

up a pilot program to test the

different scenarios to determine

what’s feasible. We have four

or five ideas floating around,

so by gathering information

and data, that will allow us to

narrow those down. We need

some real-time data to figure

out the most viable option for

both communities.”

If passed, the act will provide

a total of $455 million in relief

to communities hard hit by

COVID-19.

“During this public-health

and economic crisis, I am proud

to vote with my Senate colleagues

for an economic development

bill making critical

targeted investments that supports

businesses, housing development,

and career training

across Massachusetts,” Lovely

said in a press release. “I am

particularly pleased that the

Senate adopted my amendments

on taxation, transportation,

and tourism, which will

all benefit the five communities

that I represent as well as the

Commonwealth as a whole.”

The release went on to say

that Lovely’s amendments will

“ensure that regional tourism

councils receive funding in a

timely fashion,” in addition to

the trolley project, which she

described last December in

a press release as a “key link

on the North Shore” between

downtown Peabody and Salem.

The idea of a trolley service

linking the two communities

has been kicking around for a

while.

In 2018, a $50,000 statefunded

feasibility study was

conducted on the possibility of

establishing a two-mile long

shuttle/trolley/bus service. The

study identified several options,

among them a shuttle bus

service using public roadways

and a service on or adjacent to

the existing freight rail. The

study stated that Peabody is the

largest community inside Rte.

495 without a direct connection

to commuter rail or rapid transit

systems.

That study also concluded

that the project might cost up to

$35 million to build, and, when

completed, would attract some

600 weekday riders covering

about one-third of the annual

operating costs.

“We thought the cost was

high,” said Bellevance. “So

we believe this money would

help us identify how people use

public transportation so we can

figure out what option works

best both in terms of what

people want and the overall

cost.”

The project is far from a done

deal, however.

According to a spokesman

from Lovely’s office, the

ENDURE Act is currently in

a conference committee with

the parties hammering out a

final version of the bill, which

will then be presented to Gov.

Charlie Baker. The spokesman

said that the money allocated

under the amendment is contained

in a bond authorization

for capital projects and must

first be approved by the governor

in the next capital plan

for transportation, which he

expects won’t happen until the

spring or early summer of 2021.

serve, take time to call out injustice

when you see it, take

time to understand the struggles

of others. Use your time

wisely even if it makes you

uncomfortable.”

Co-President Colleen

Crotty announced the class

gift will be a donation to the

Peabody Education Foundation

in memory of former

Superintendent Cara Murtagh

and Vice-Principal Judith

Maniatis, whose sudden deaths

within a three-day span in late

November shocked the city.

Crotty said their losses, and

the pandemic, have taught

her to never take anything for

granted, adding that she will

carry the lessons she learned

as a three-sport athlete with her

into the future.

“Sports teach you that not everything

comes easy,” she said.

“You have to train, you get hurt,

you push yourself past breaking,

you get knocked down, but you

have to get up because your

team is counting on you.”

Senior essayist Diana Le and

Salutatorian Alexandra Turco

reminded their classmates to be

kind, stand up for their beliefs

and always be willing to stand

up for those who cannot speak

for themselves.

Valedictorian Rebecca

Truong wrapped up the

speaking portion of the program

with a sobering message.

“The next phase of our lives

we will be facing a society still

struggling in the national pandemic,

the ongoing fight for

equality for all, our first election

and climate change just to

name a few,” she said. “The future

is very, very daunting.”

Truong noted that, while

the class has responded to the

pandemic with resilience, determination,

persistence and

grit, there will be more difficult

challenges on the road ahead.

“We are Gen Z, the new caretakers,

educators, researchers of

this day and age.

Z is the last letter of the alphabet,

but we can be the beginning

of a new era of change and

betterment. Change won’t be

easy, but I’m convinced that we

are ready for the challenge

“We’ve already proved to

everyone in Peabody that we

are ready to take on life’s challenges

and change our community.

Now is time to get out

there and take on bigger, better

and more difficult challenges

and change the world.”

After the ceremony,

Bettencourt noted how important

it was for everyone to

come together as a community.

“It’s been a difficult year and

with everything this class went

through, they deserved this wonderful

moment,” he said. “They

have been through so much, but

always acted with dignity, honor

and integrity. They have been a

wonderful group.”

Are young people having too much fun?

By Nico Savidge

and Leonardo Castañed

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

A surge of coronavirus cases

among young people is leading

to a generational blame game

as California and other states

grapple with a second wave of

the virus.

Reports of outbreaks across

the country tied to fraternity

houses and college-town bars

have helped fuel a perception

that people in their teens and

20s — who are far less likely

to die from COVID-19 but can

still suffer debilitating bouts

of the virus or pass it along to

others who are more vulnerable

— have thrown caution to the

wind because they don’t feel

threatened by it.

A long list of other factors

may also be at play in the increase,

however.

“I see plenty of irresponsibility

going on across the

age spectrum as we have

opened up,” said Dr. Kirsten

Bibbins-Domingo, chair of

the University of California

San Francisco’s Department of

Epidemiology and Biostatistics.

“I don’t think it’s helpful to demonize

one group or another.”

An analysis released last week

found 44 percent of new coronavirus

cases in California were

among people 34 or younger,

compared to 29 percent a month

ago. Meanwhile, the analysis

of California Department of

Public Health data, conducted

by infectious disease epidemiologist

George Lemp, found the

share of cases from people over

50 was dropping.

At a press conference Friday,

Gov. Gavin Newsom said the

state is seeing an alarming increase

in coronavirus cases

among people under 35, which

he called “that age cohort that

believes in many cases that

they are invincible, and they are

somehow immune from the impacts

of COVID-19.”

But the increase tracks with

what Bibbins-Domingo said

she expected as more businesses

reopened.

During that process, she noted

that government and public

health officials told people at

higher risk from coronavirus

— particularly those who are

older — that they should still

stay at home to avoid infection.

Younger people at lower

risk, meanwhile, were given the

OK to go out again, making it

more likely they would catch

the virus.

Now, after seeing a massive

increase in new coronavirus

cases last week, states and

counties are rethinking their reopening

plans.

“The age doesn’t concern

me as much as the big rise in

cases,” Bibbins-Domingo said.

Another possible explanation

for the rise among young

people: It’s a lot easier to get

a COVID-19 test these days,

which has meant people with

milder or even asymptomatic

cases, who skew younger, are

finding out they have the virus,

Bibbins-Domingo said.

And the jobs young people

do could be playing a role as

well. Nationwide, only about

one-third of workers are in the

16 to 34 age group, but those in

essential, public-facing jobs —

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

The proliferation of COVID-19 cases around the country has thrown the spotlight on young

people throwing too much caution to the wind.

as well as industries that have

started reopening more broadly

in recent weeks — tend to be

younger.

In retail, where officials

have been easing lockdown restrictions,

about 56 percent of

workers at clothing stores are

34 and younger, as are 70 percent

of workers at shoe stores

and 60 percent of those at electronics

stores.

Nearly two-thirds of restaurant

workers are 34 or younger,

as are nearly half of grocery

store employees, according to

data from the U.S. Bureau of

Labor Statistics.

Workers in food service “are

so exposed,” said Sameer Shah,

the 36-year-old co-owner of

Voyager Coffee, who noted the

business model of a coffee shop

relies on serving perhaps hundreds

of customers each day —

all of whom could pose a risk

in the coronavirus age. Nearly

every worker at Voyager’s three

cafes is under 35.

To lessen risk, Voyager

workers serve customers at

doorway counters, and don’t let

people inside their cafes. Shah

said it seems like irresponsible

behavior from customers is becoming

more common as the

pandemic has dragged on — but

he didn’t chalk it up to any particular

age group.

“People are just not quite as

on guard as they were before,”

Shah said.

Still, there is some evidence

that young people are more

likely to take risks during the

pandemic: While most people

across all age groups report they

are consistently wearing masks,

avoiding groups and staying at

least six feet away from others,

people from 18 to 24 were much

less likely than older adults to

say they were doing so, a May

CDC survey found.

Then again, millennials from

25 to 34 tend to be more cautious

— they trailed only people

65 and older in their likelihood

to report they were avoiding

groups and wearing masks.

(People from 45 to 54, the age

range 52-year-old Newsom falls

into, reported the second-lowest

levels of compliance with those

guidelines.)

Cinque Curry, a 25-year-old

construction worker from

Oakland, admitted he didn’t

take coronavirus very seriously

at first — he went on a cruise

in February, and traveled to Las

Vegas in March, just as casinos

started shutting down.

Artist hopes to inspire people to vote

By Alyssa Lukpat

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH, N.C. — Wyatt Closs has always believed

that art could inspire change and action, even as a kid

when he ran for president of his Raleigh middle school.

“I remember then how powerful art could be,” he

said. “I think just these little moments that you encounter,

for me, a lot of them do go back to art.”

Closs no longer lives in Raleigh, but he’s hoping a

colorful mural installed in his home state — a piece of

work that promotes equality for Black people — will

inspire people to vote.

The 12-by-16-foot mural on the side of the Cortez

restaurant on Glenwood Avenue depicts a Black man

staring into the distance in vibrant shades of pink, black,

blue, white and gold. It’s accompanied by the words “I

am a man” and “Voting rights are human rights.”

“Dynamic, vibrant murals like this one, and others

that we produce around the country, can do a better job

in exciting young people in particular about voting and

participating in democracy than five direct-mail pieces

to their house would,” said Closs, 55, a Raleigh native

and UNC graduate now living in Los Angeles.

The mural was created by Shepard Fairey, a street

artist and activist known for his blue and red painting

of President Barack Obama, then a candidate, accompanied

by the word “hope.” The print was an iconic

symbol of the 2008 presidential campaign.

The Raleigh art is part of a bigger Black Lives

project that put eight murals in cities across the country.

In addition to Raleigh, the company installed murals by

other artists in Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, Las Vegas and

Memphis.

“I had talked with Shepard Fairey about the prospect

of Raleigh, which he was excited about because he’s

from South Carolina originally,” said Closs, the principal

and owner of Big Bowl of Ideas, a Los-Angeles

based creative company. “He also said to me, ‘You

know, I’ve never had a work in Raleigh, so that would

PHOTO | TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

This installation by Shepard Fairey was created as

part of the campaign called “Walls for Black Lives,”

and will hang in eight cities nationwide, including

Raleigh, N.C., where it was hung by locals at The

Cortez last month.

be really cool.’”

The project is meant to amplify the voices of Black

people and allies fighting for equality, Closs said.

Fairey’s mural is based on a 1965 picture taken in

Selma, Ala., by photographer Steve Schapiro, Fairey

wrote on his website. Schapiro documented protests

during the civil rights movement in the 1960s.

“Part of Shepard’s process involves lots of layering

of other iconography, patterns, news clips,” Closs said.

“If you really zoom in on the details around the subject,

you’ll see a rendering of the iconic ‘I am a man’ sign in

the corner, and, somewhere else, a news clipping about

voting rights.”

Closs coordinated the temporary art display with the

Raleigh Murals Project collective and Branded Arts,

a public art company. Local artists Taylor White and

Sarahlaine Calva installed the mural Saturday ahead of

the nationwide Strike for Black Lives Monday.

The mural, made of wheatpaste, will stay up for at

least a month, or until the material can no longer withstand

the North Carolina heat, said Jedidiah Gant, the

co-director of the Raleigh Murals Project collective.

Gant said the collective plans to install a permanent

mural on the side of The Cortez restaurant sometime in

the future.

“(Fairey) is essentially putting the Black man’s face

massive on the side of the building. I wouldn’t say (it’s)

rare, but it’s not very regular,” Gant said. “Especially

in Raleigh, we don’t have anything like this at this

scale. Especially post- all the Confederate monuments

coming down.”

Closs said it’s important to install this mural in

Raleigh to encourage voter turnout for the November

presidential election.

How Closs’ political history inspired this mural

Closs grew up in Raleigh, graduating from Sanderson

High School, and worked in state and national politics.

He said his time as student body president of West

Millbrook Junior High School inspired him to serve

the community. (The school is now West Millbrook

Middle.)

“I was actually joking with someone a couple months

ago about how part of the reason I ran for student body

president at West Millbrook Junior High was because

that was the person who also got to make the decisions

about what the assemblies were going to be,” Closs

said.

Closs said this mural, and his work creating art for

political change, was inspired by his time working

on Harvey Gantt’s 1990 Senate campaign against incumbent

Republican Sen. Jesse Helms. Gantt was

Charlotte’s first African American mayor, and Helms

was a controversial conservative.

“Because Helms also took a lot of positions around

censorship of the arts and trying to cut funding, it inspired

a group of artists to form a political action committee,”

Closs said.

High tech takes on the coronavirus

By Samantha Raudins

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The coronavirus

pandemic has inspired a new

wave of technology closely tied to Ohio

businesses, including thermal imaging

and facial recognition software which

can detect fevers among employees, a

common symptom of the virus.

Smile for the camera — it might be

taking your temperature.

The coronavirus pandemic has inspired

a new wave of technology closely

tied to Ohio businesses, including

thermal imaging and facial recognition

software that can detect fevers among

employees, a common symptom of the

virus.

PopEntry+ combines instant facial

recognition and temperature screening

that can connect to employees’ mobile

devices, lock doors if a person’s temperature

is too high and record all that

on a time log. The device has been

rolled out nationwide with the help of

Wasserstrom, a 104-year-old Columbus

distributor and manufacturer of food-service

equipment and supplies.

John Miller, CEO of PopID, which

makes the product, said it has been implemented

in offices, professional sports

complexes, restaurants, factories, assisted-living

facilities and college campuses.

Its purpose is to more efficiently

screen employees, Miller said.

“If you’ve got a big facility with

hundreds of people coming in and out,

it’s just awkward and costly, and to

have a human standing there doing the

An infrared camera skin temperature detection system in use

screening is just not an efficient way to

do it,” Miller said.

The product is especially beneficial

in places such as nursing homes,

which also need to monitor visitors, said

Cathy King, executive vice president of

Wasserstrom.

King said the company pivoted to

selling technology and personal protective

equipment when the pandemic

struck in order to stay relevant. It has

distributed PopEntry+ to more than 100

businesses, and has even installed the

system at its Broad Street location on the

East Side as essential workers continued

working there, King said.

“It is something that it’s another tool

in your toolbox to really try to keep

your employees safe in this time of pandemic,”

she said.

Ohio company Silco Fire and Security,

with offices in Grove City, also added

thermal imaging and facial recognition

services to its business. The company,

which typically provides fire inspection

and security services, expanded its surveillance

offerings when the pandemic

struck, President David Fraser said.

“Our purpose that we talk about a lot

as a company — it’s written all over our

walls, really — is to protect people and

property. That’s really everything that

we do. It’s our function to society as a

business. We started really wondering,

‘What else can we do to help keep our

customers safe?’” Fraser said.

The company offers two kinds of technology:

a tablet that can attach to a wall or

kiosk to take someone’s temperature and

detect whether they are wearing a mask;

and a larger camera that can take the temperature

of up to 32 people at once.

Silco began marketing its technology

in late April and has provided it to museums

including the Cleveland Museum

of Art and the Cleveland Museum of

Natural History, as well as schools,

day-care centers, a bakery, a church, the

Union County courthouse and manufacturing

facilities.

Patriot Preparatory Academy, a K-12

public charter school on the East Side,

will be installing Silco’s thermal imaging

cameras without facial recognition

to monitor students as they enter school,

superintendent Sean Smith said.

The school, which will begin the

year completely online for its projected

739 students, felt like it had to take on

more responsibility for the safety of its

students once they return, Smith said.

Cameras will monitor students as they

enter the building, and those with a fever

will have their health assessed.

Salem Country Club member Steven DiLisio shot an even-par 71 Friday to

finish ninth in the Ouimet tournament.

Ex-Prep golfer Francoeur

wins Ouimet tournament

By Mike Alongi

With a clutch birdie on the 18th hole,

St. John’s Prep alum Chris Francoeur

(Amesbury G&CC) captured the title

at the 53rd Francis Ouimet Memorial

Tournament at Woodland Golf Club

Friday. Francoeur bested fellow Prep

alum Nick Maccario (Bradford CC),

who also finished runner-up at the

Massachusetts Amateur and the New

England Amateur, by one stroke.

The tournament came right down to

the wire. With Maccario and Francoeur

tied for the lead after 16 holes, Maccario

-- who was one group ahead of

Francoeur -- made a par on the 17th hole

to remain tied. Francoeur then stepped

up and made birdie on the 17th to take

a one-stroke lead, but just minutes later

Maccario made a birdie on the 18th to tie

things back up. Francoeur had a chance

to win it with a birdie on the par-4 18th,

and he didn’t disappoint.

Francoeur shot a score of 66 on the

final day after making eight birdies, five

of them coming on the back nine including

on each of the final two holes.

His total score for the tournament was

72-67-66-205.

The Francis Ouimet Memorial

Tournament, a 54-hole stroke play event,

serves as both a Mass Golf Championship

and Women’s Championship. This year’s

tournament took place at Framingham

Country Club on Wednesday and

Thursday and concluded, as always,

at Woodland Golf Club in Auburndale

(Newton) on Friday.

The exemption-only event is split into

three divisions: Championship Division,

Lowery Division (Senior Division) and

Women’s Division. Past champions who

have gone on to play professional golf

include Brad Faxon, Fran Quinn, Alison

Walshe, Jim Renner and Megan Khang.

Salem Country Club member Steven

DiLisio played well Friday, shooting

an even-par 71 to earn a tie for ninth

place with a total score of 70-73-71-214.

DiLisio came out of the gate on fire with

three birdies on the front nine to make

the turn in 33 and put himself in the top

10. But a lackluster back nine, complete

with four bogeys and just one birdie, led

to the 71 for the final round.

Maccario had a great day at Woodland

on Friday, shooting 66 with seven

birdies. He made five birdies on the front

nine to make the turn in 32 strokes, then

made a huge birdie when it counted on

the 18th hole to put himself in a position

to force a playoff. His total score for the

tournament was 73-67-66.

Former St. Mary’s star and Swampscott

native Christian Emmerich (Kernwood

CC) had himself a solid final round at

Woodland, shooting an even-par 71 to

finish in a tie for 17th place with a total

score of 73-75-71-219. Emmerich, who

plays his college golf at Holy Cross, had

a pedestrian front nine to open the day,

making eight pars and a bogey to make

the turn in 37 strokes. Emmerich heated

up on the back nine with birdies on the

10th, 13th and 16th holes, but an unfortunate

double-bogey on the par-4 17th

put a damper on what could have been

a stellar round. He finished the day at

even-par 71.

Next year’s Francis Ouimet Memorial

Tournament will be played at Charles

River Country Club for the first two

days before concluding at Woodland

Golf Club.

Red-hot Hanefeld

captures his third

NEPGA senior title

Despite temperatures in the 90s on

back-to-back days, the hottest thing at

Blackstone National Golf Club last week

might have been Kirk Hanefeld’s putter.

Hanefeld blistered the course with 15

birdies over 36 holes to win his third New

England PGA Senior Championship by

seven strokes.

Hanefeld, the PGA Director of

Instruction at Salem Country Club,

began the final round with a 4-stroke

lead and opened with birdies on his first

three holes. By then, playing partners and

nearest competitors Steven Hausmann,

PGA (Amherst CC) and John Hickson,

PGA (Chequessett Yacht & CC), who

each started the day four shots back of

Hanefeld, were battling for second.

“In reality it was early in the round,

after the first three or four holes,”

Hanefeld said of when he knew he

would hoist his third NEPGA Senior

Championship, adding “but this is a

funny game and there are an awful lot of

good players so to let my guard down and

coast would have been a big mistake.”

Instead of letting his guard down,

Hanefeld kept the pedal down, reeling

off a final-round 67 to finish 12 under

par. Hanefeld’s rounds of 65-67 were the

lowest two rounds of the tournament,

and while his putter came up clutch, he

displayed an all-around air-tight game

over 36 holes to lap the field.

“I know that driving the ball in the

fairway, which is typically a strong suit

for me, worked well for me,” he said. “I

didn’t ever hit it out of play, I couldn’t

have missed more than a fairway or two

all week.”

Hausmann shot 2-under par 70 on

Tuesday to finish second at 5-under for

the tournament, while Hickson finished

third at 2-under par after shooting 73 on

Tuesday. Jeff Seavey, PGA (Goose River

Resort) and Scott Johnson, PGA (Oakley

CC) tied for fourth at 1-over par for the

tournament.

Hanefeld holds a lifetime exemption

into the Senior PGA Professional

Championship as a two-time champion

(2008, ’11), and Seavey has an exemption

into the 2020 event as well. Five

additional Professionals earned exemptions

to join Hanefeld and Seavey in the

Senior PGA Professional Championship

on Tuesday. Hausmann, Hickson, Rick

Karbowski, PGA (Auburn Driving

Range), Michael Dugas, PGA (JW Parks

GC) and Robert Tramonti, PGA (Triggs

Memorial GC) each punched their

tickets for the tournament, scheduled for

Oct. 15-18 at PGA Golf Club in Port. St.

Lucie, Fla.

Other local professionals who finished

well in the tournament include Kernwood

Country Club head professional Frank

Dully, who finished tied for 10th place

with a total score of 70-77-147.

The NEPGA Senior Championship,

which is traditionally played in Vermont,

was moved to Blackstone National

GC due to COVID-19 restrictions in

Vermont.

Kirk Hanefeld (with trophy) of the Salem Country Club had a sizzling final

round last week to win his third New England PGA Senior title.
