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
Turco (Bentley University), Senior

for
grads
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

Obituary
Richard Hutchison, 66
On July 29th, 2020, Richard
“Hutch” Hutchison, 66, died
unexpectedly at his home in
Lynnfield, MA. He was preceded
in death by his father,
Richard, and brother, Eric, and
is survived by his wife of 36
years, Pamela Hutchison, son
Tanner Hutchison, daughter
Kara Hutchison, their respective
fiancés Emily Sciarra and
Tate Sahagian, sisters Andi
Korte and Holly Williams,
brothers Scott Hutchison
and Joel Hutchison, and his
mother Veronica Hutchison,
as well as numerous beloved
nieces, nephews, and in-laws.
Hutch was born in Bad
Kreuznach, Germany and
grew up in Danbury, CT.
After attending St. Michael’s
college in Vermont, he entered
the restaurant business,
managing and owning
restaurants in Atlanta, Tampa
and Orlando. He then transitioned
into sales after
moving to Massachusetts 26
years ago, recently retiring
as the Director of Regional
Sales for Weiler Corp.
A lifelong sports fan, Hutch
devoted himself to coaching
kids to be the best they could
be. This passion was exemplified
in his favorite sporting
event, the yearly “Turkey
Bowl” he hosted, open to
anyone over the age of one.
A friend to everyone he met,
a mentor to any kid who
needed one, and the living
embodiment of a ‘family
man’, Hutch’s hospitality,
generosity, and tough as nails
honesty, left their mark on the
numerous lives he touched.

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
looking at the two-on, two-off

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

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.
