History won’t go up in smoke

By Thor Jourgensen

Workers are slowly dismantling the former

A.C. Lawrence factory smokestack with plans

to save 10 feet of the 225-foot structure for

preservation as a historical park.

Crowninshield Street, the stack towers over

are located. Tannery owner WinnCompanies,

which purchased the residential complex

in 2019, is dismantling the stack for safety

reasons.

A Dracut crane company started work late

last month taking care to make sure the stack’s

base remains intact during demolition.

Peabody Public Schools

moved one step closer to finalizing

the district’s reopening

plans.

School Superintendent Dr.

Josh Vadala presented a detailed

plan to the School

Committee last week, recommending

the district adopt a hybrid-learning

model that “offers

a remote-learning option for

individuals who are unable or

uncomfortable in an in-learning

environment.”

HISTORY, PAGE 3

Vadala said the plan will

be submitted on Friday to the

Department of Elementary and

Secondary Education (DESE),

which is requiring all districts

to submit three-pronged plans

that include in-school, remote

and hybrid learning options.

“Our goal for the fall continues

to be the safe return of

as many students and staff as

possible to in-person school settings,

to maximize learning and

address our students’ holistic

needs,” Vadala also told the

committee. “After analyzing the

Mall to host movies under the stars

By Anne Marie Tobin

The best movie seats

under the stars are coming to

Peabody’s Northshore Mall.

The Peabody Area Chamber of

Commerce (PACC), in partnership

with the Northshore Mall,

premier sponsor North Shore

Bank and Salem-based Creative

Collective, is hosting a pop-up

drive-in movie night at the mall

Sunday, Aug. 16 (8 p.m.).

The featured attraction is

“Rudy,” a 1993 movie about

Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger, a student

whose improbable dreams

of playing college football for

the University of Notre Dame

came true senior year.

“We weren’t able to do our

big Summer Shindig Carnival

this summer, so we were

looking for something to do to

raise money as that is normally

a strong fundraiser for us,” said

PACC Executive Director Julie

Daigle. “Employers aren’t

really sending employees to

events anymore with COVID

and you need permission if you

have anything with more than

10 people, so it’s been really

frustrating because we thought

we didn’t have anything we

could run to bring people in to

be together and raise money at

the same time.

That is until PACC enlisted the

services of John Andrews, founder

and owner of Creative Collective

in Salem. Daigle said his response

to PACC’s concerns that it didn’t

have any viable options, was

simple, ‘You are wrong.’”

Dailge said Creative

Collective is in charge of production.

The company has run

several successful outdoor

movie nights, the most recent

the City of Salem’s Summer

Drive-In Series’ showing of

“Edward Scissorhands” Friday

at Salem State’s O’Keefe

Center.

“Julie came to us looking for

an event that would be fun and

a good moneymaker, so we just

thought we had seen the success

of other pop-up movie theatres

we had done in the last five

years and thought this would

be perfect,” Andrews said. “We

have the projectionist, we have

lighting guys, we have sound

guys, so it’s a perfect partnership.

Also, we have worked

extensively in Peabody and are

looking to get more Peabody

businesses to buy into us.”

Daigle said the City of

Peabody has been on board

from the get-go, saying “The

Mayor (Ted Bettencourt)

thought it was a no brainer as

the city has no events planned

until at least September.”

The movie screen will be

set in the parking area near

the Barnes and Noble bookstore.

While there are 800 total

parking spaces there, only 200

will be available to maximize

social distancing and other

safety precautions. Movie goers

will be required to stay inside

their vehicles except when

using the restrooms.

It’s Daigle’s hope that the

evening will give a shot in the

arm to nearby restaurants that

have been hit especially hard by

the pandemic.

“The reason this is so good

is that we need to stay active

in the community and help the

local restaurants and other businesses,”

she said. “People can

combine the movie with going

out to dinner or getting takeout,

so even if we don’t make any

money, it will be successful for

local businesses.”

Daigle said the chamber is

already working on a second

pop-up tentatively scheduled

for August 30. Andrews will

be filming a pre-show video

Tuesday featuring messages

from Daigle, Bettencourt,

North Shore Mall Manager

Mark Whiting and, if available,

a North Shore Bank

representative.

“Working with everyone has

been great. l love this and they are

interested in doing another, and

so are we,” she said. “It’s been a

treat working with everyone who

have all made it so easy. We had

a meeting with the city departments

last week and we all feel

that anything that helps out the

business community is what we

have to do to support it.”

YMCA extends camps, adds meals

By Anne Marie Tobin

A popular Beach Boys lyric

pretty much sums it all up for

YMCA of the North Shore’s

summer campers: “We’ve been

having fun all summer long.”

Well that fun isn’t about to end

Metro North CEO Kathleen

Walsh said Metro North already

had a food program in

place at the Lynn branch. A

statement on Metro North’s

website stated that the food

program expansion was developed

in partnership with the

Department of Elementary and

Secondary Education and its

Summer Eats program, which

has been providing food assistance

to low-income families

since 1968. The association

also received funding from the

$6.1 million Massachusetts

COVID-19 Relief Fund

through the Essex County

Community Foundation.

Walsh said Metro North currently

is feeding about 500

kids a day.

“It’s much appreciated because

these campers come

with no lunch or little lunch

and we are now able to provide

them with a nice balanced

meal, which is fabulous,”

Walsh said. “I can’t

predict what will happen with

COVID-19 in the near future,

but I do know that the need for

food programs will not change

anytime soon. Even if the

economy does hit phase four,

food insecurity was on the rise

before the pandemic. More

partnership and funding for

this program will be crucial in

the long road ahead to a ‘new

normal.’ Kids are going to

need this safety net more than

ever, especially with school

openings postponed.”

Saugus Family YMCA

Executive Director Jen Conway

said she has seen a spike in the

number of people struggling to

feed their families.

“We see the number of requests

for food growing every

day,” she said. “I’ve had parents

tell me they are relying on

Dollar Tree to feed their kids

on a budget. Some of these parents

are managing two or three

jobs to make it all work and

this way they can spend their

funds on other necessities for

the kids.”

Currently there are about

150 kids at Metro North’s

Camp Eastman in Peabody

and another 200 combined at

Camp Melstone in Melrose

and Camp Sachem in Saugus.

All kids are eligible for the

meal program and pre registration

is not required. Walsh

said the camps normally run

through the end of August,

shutting down just before the

start of school.

“We’ll go right up to Sept,

11, but space will be limited

based on how we can staff it,”

said Walsh. “We anticipate

probably not being able to take

quite as many because some of

our college kids are going back

to school and things like that,

but we hope to be able to take

100-120.”

Walsh said this summer’s

programs have been the most

successful she has ever experienced

in her 15-year YMCA

career.

“I was just down there and

talking to the kids and they are

having a blast,” said Walsh.

“They are all complying with

the safety procedures. They

are enjoying being with their

peers, they are having fun and

being creative. I’ve been doing

this for a long time and this

year’s summer surveys have

been, by far, more positive than

I’ve ever seen. It’s been a great

summer.”

reasons and to preserve a portion

of the stack pipe,” said Peabody

Historical Commission commissioner

Deborah Eskenazi.

WinnCompanies spokesman

Ed Cafasso said the dismantling

started at the stack’s top with

workers removing two or threefoot

sections at a time.

“The exterior of the stack will

be knocked inward, so that the

receives the proper training and

resources to implement these new

learning models,” Vadala said.

Vadala said the results of a

feasibility study, as well as a belief

that there is no substitute for

in-person learning because for

many families, school is more

than just an academic institution,

were key considerations in the

district’s decision to go hybrid.

That study included family and

By Anne Marie Tobin

The school district moved

another step closer to its first

major school improvement in

more than a decade, appearing

before the Massachusetts School

Building Authority (MSBA) to

present three design proposals

for the renovation of the William

A. Welch Elementary School on

Swampscott Road.

While the MSBA declined to

select an architect, it invited the

three firms who submitted proposals

to attend interviews.

A subcommittee headed

by Welch School Building

Committee Chairman Beverley

Griffin Dunne, Beth McGivern,

business manager Joe Scanlon,

city councilor Peter McGinn

and Jim Hafey was tasked with

ranking the proposals. It gave

Boston-based DiNisco Design

the highest score.

DiNisco has extensive experience

in elementary schools

and also provided the design for

the Higgins Middle School.

Boston-based MDS/Miller

Dyer Spears and SLAM

Collaborative also submitted

proposals, ranking second and

third respectively.

Bettencourt told the panel at

the hearing that DiNisco was the

committee’s top choice and that

Peabody has a history of trust

and confidence with the firm.

“We were all very impressed

with DiNisco as they presented a

very well-thought out proposal,”

Bettencourt said. “There are a lot

pieces fall down the center of the

stack. When a small section is

completed, the process will stop

while workers on the ground retrieve

the debris from inside the

base. Then, the three-step process

will be repeated again – inspection,

demolition, debris removal

– as part of a safety-conscious,

methodical effort,” Cafasso said.

At the end of the process, if

all goes as planned, a capped,

10-foot-high section of the

stack will remain standing

faculty and staff surveys; assessment

of building capacity,

and the findings of various reopening

committees and the reopening

task force.

Seventy-seven percent of families

representing 4,500 students

responded to the family survey,

with nearly 70 percent saying they

want to return to in-school learning

five days a week. Approximately

25 percent said if a five-day plan

was implemented, they preferred

remote learning. About 98 percent

of respondents said they have

Internet access at home.

of challenges with this project,

both socio-economic and neighborhood,

so we feel the trust

factor based on past experience

is extremely important.”

Vadala said DiNisco’s approach

to address the wetlands issues on

the property was impressive.

“I had concerns about SLAM

being inexperienced and I thought

that MDS gave a good proposal,

but, overall, DiNisco was the best

and most organized,” he said.

“What resonated most with me

was the wetlands. They really

addressed the site issues and that

put them over the top for me.”

Dunne, who served on the

Higgins Middle School Building

Committee, also spoke.

“We looked for overall experience,

experience with MSBA, experience

with the Core program

and experience with tight budgets

and timelines. Some of the subcommittee

members didn’t really

know of our prior relationship

with DiNisco, but it was striking

to see how each member came to

the same decision. The message

came through very clearly.”

In terms of building capacity,

the study concluded that 100

percent of students could return

with three-feet distancing, while

only 50-60 percent could return

if six-feet spacing were required.

Committee member Joe

Amico said he was torn on the

whole issue of reopening.

“I have a ton of confidence in

our administration and buildings,

but I don’t have a ton of confidence

in the virus. Things can

change very quickly and we all

know that spring remote learning

was not effective,” Amico said.

Several MSBA panel members,

including Karl Brown,

agreed that DiNisco’s proposal

was the strongest. He said that

MSBA needs to rely on firms

that know and have experience

with MSBA, saying, “You cannot

beat DiNisco’s experience with

MSBA. Iit is a high quality firm.”

The panel ranked all three

firms and the results were strikingly

similar to those of the

subcommittee, with DiNisco

far and away the top candidate,

MDS in second and SLAM a

distant third, prompting Brown

to say during discussion on a

motion to interview the three

firms, that the panel should dispense

with the interviews and

“award the job to DiNisco.” On

the ensuing vote to interview,

he was the only panel member

voting no.

Panel member Jack McCarthy

noted that while the result was

“unfortunate for Peabody as they

are anxious to get ahead, it was

important to give everyone a fair

shake when they apply and was

sorry (for the two-week delay).”

Committee Vice-Chairman

Beverley Griffin Dunne said

Monday that she is receiving

many inquiries from parents

going forward.

“I’m getting emails and calls

she said. “They don’t understand

FOR THE WEEKLY NEWS

In 2003, a few years after

she was diagnosed with Stage 4

colon cancer, a friend came to

Kathie Mitchell and suggested

that they start a WALK team.

Wanting to give back to the

medical group that had saved

her life, Team Kathie Mitchell

was formed and they have

been walking ever since, never

missing a year.

“My oncologist, Dr. Ronald

Weinger, and the North Shore

Cancer Center had provided

me with such great care that I

wanted to raise funds to help

them out,” said Mitchell.

Kathie and her team have

raised more than $345,000 over

the past 16 years.

This year, for the 30th anniversary

of the WALK, Kathie’s

team goal is $15,000 and her

personal goal is $3,000. To

help her reach these targets,

she had organized several

fundraisers including one at

UNO’s, a scratch ticket raffle,

and an event at Rolly’s Tavern

WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 5

Kathie’s team rocks the Walk

in Lynn, which sponsors the

team by providing their team

shirts.

COVID-19, however, hit in

March and much of Mitchell’s

fundraising plans came to an

abrupt end. The pandemic

didn’t hurt one of Mitchell’s

long-standing fundraisers. In

fact it may have helped.

For the last few years,

Mitchell has collected clothing

and other textiles and arranged

for a truck to pick them up.

Her team then receives a check

from the company based on the

weight of the donation. With

everyone quarantined inside

cleaning out closets, attics, and

basements, Mitchell had her

most successful collection by

far this year.

More than 1,300 bags of

clothing were collected and

stored at her friend and teammate

Agnes Sarcia’s house in

Georgetown. Agnes, her husband

Rick, and their daughter

Dani, along with many other

members of Team Kathie

Mitchell were on hand when a

Library to host Living

giant box truck came to collect

the bags.

The team had collected

so many bags, in fact, that a

second truck was needed because

the first couldn’t fit all of

the bags that were stacked floor

to ceiling.

Mitchell, who served as the

WALK chairperson in 2007 is

very proud of what the team has

accomplished.

“Even though we are living

in very unusual times, cancer

doesn’t stop and neither can

we,” said Mitchell. “My goal is

to raise as much money as I can

this year in honor of our longtime

team member, Billy Smith,

who passed away from cancer

in December.

City Hall headed for reopening

By Anne Marie Tobin

It’s taken approximately five

months, but it appears that

Peabody City Hall may finally

be reopening its doors.

The City Council announced

last Friday it is holding a special

meeting Thursday. Among the

items to be discussed are public

meetings in the Franklin Wiggin

Auditorium, where council

meetings are normally held.

That same day, Mayor Ted

Bettencourt said he will announce

plans for a gradual,

phased reopening of City Hall

with the health and safety of

Peabody residents and staff his

first priority.

“City Hall was built in 1883

(and) it presents unique challenges

in terms of meeting the

state’s COVID-19 physical distance/occupancy

requirements,”

said Chief of Staff Christopher

Ryder. “The Mayor continues to

consult with the Public Health

Director and Facilities Director

to make the building safe and

accessible to the public.”

Council President Tom

Rossignoll agreed that the

building’s age presents added

challenges.

“One thing that has slowed

down reopening is getting the

necessary infrastructure in place

in a very old building,” said

Rossignoll. “The Plexiglass

partitions, separation of spaces

for distancing, signage, has

taken longer than anticipated.”

Peabody’s neighboring communities

have all opened their

main municipal buildings with

varying levels of access, including

Lynnfield which has been

open (appointment only) since

May 26. Salem, Lynn, Danvers,

Middleton have all reopened in

some way, shape or form.

“People have been itching

to know when City Hall will

re-open to the public and I’ve

had no answer for them,”

said Councilor-at-Large Anne

Manning Martin. “I know that

other cities have successfully

and safely re-opened their town

halls at varying capacities with

measured social distancing and

scheduling. I’m hoping that

Peabody does the same soon.”

Rossignol said the plan would

be for the building to reopen for

council meetings and later to

the public.

“Personally, I want to come

back to the building, so that’s

what we’ll talk about on the 13th.

The goal is to get the building

open for council meetings first,

with the public still attending

via Zoom, and then open to the

public soon after that.”

King-size plan

for housing

By Anne Marie Tobin

HDG King Street LLC, owner

of the former J.B. Hospital and

Curahealth Boston North Shore

property on King Street has filed

a Chapter 40B Comprehensive

Permit application with the city.

Earlier this year in April, the

developer received 40B site

approval for its plans to build

King’s Residences, a 133-unit

residential development on the

3.2 acre site with 34 units being

designated as affordable. 40B

allows developers to bypass

local zoning and planning regulations

provided a minimum of

20 percent of the proposed units

is affordable. The reason the developer

can use 40B is because

Peabody does not meet the 10

percent threshold of affordable

housing in the city.

“It’s certainly not the project

I wanted to see there and I tried

repeatedly to explain to the residents

to the best of my ability

that this was an option that

could be taken,” said Ward 4

Councilor Ed Charest. “I think

now that the application is filed

with the city, they see the reality

that’s out there.

Since acquiring the property

in December, 2017, HDG

has pitched several options for

the property, its latest being

an age-restricted 55+ condominium

development. In early

January, 2020, HDG abruptly

changed course, saying that

“given the site costs and cleanup

needed, our only option is to

build a multi-residential project

of some type” and that “given

the continued opposition to the

age-restricted condo project,”

its only option was to move forward

with a 40B project.

“I was in favor of the 55

project even though it wasn’t

a perfect thing, there was a lot

we could continue to work on

there,” said Charest. “Instead,

now the project is going forward

with 23 more units than

the 55 and there also will be

more problems with parking.”

Charest said he has heard

from many of his constituents,

many of whom also preferred

the over-55 proposal.

“They thought it was a real

good project even though they

wanted fewer units,” Charest

said.

School Committee member

Jarod Hochman lives close to the

site and he and many neighbors

have actively fought the project.

“We wanted a project that

doesn’t destroy the neighborhood

and this one doesn’t add

anything but problems to the

city,” he said.

Martin said she is also

looking forward to holding

in-person council meetings in

order to allow the public real

time access and participation if

allowed to attend.

“The School Committee has

recently taken their vote committing

to doing so and PMLP

(Peabody Municipal Light Plant)

Light Commissioners have already

been safely conducting

their meetings for several weeks

using appropriate safety precautions,”

said Martin. “I see no

reason the City Council should

not do the same.”

Lifelong Peabody resident

Keith Doucette, the creator of

the Pride In Peabody (formerly

Moving Peabody Forward)

Facebook page, concurs.

“I don’t understand why we

weren’t open months ago,” he

said. “If there’s any place you

can easily practice social distancing,

it’s City Hall. The thing

that’s infuriating is people’s perception

that something is going

on they don’t know about.

“People are angry, how can

you say you are sending 6,200

students back to school and

make us feel safe when you

can’t even open City Hall with

less than 200 people?” And why

are we still having Zoom council

meetings when only five, maybe

10 residents participate?”

Doucette knows a thing or

two about safe reopenings.

He is vice president at PCG

Securities, a Nashua-based

company that is now providing

COVID detection and safety

precaution monitoring systems

for businesses, including things

like automatic temperature and

face detection systems that prevent

people from entering buildings

if they have fevers or are

not observing safety protocols.

Ryder said despite the closure

of the building, City Hall

has “worked hard to deliver the

core municipal services that

taxpayers expect” since the

pandemic began in March.

“As always, we prioritized

essential services and we continue

to inspect buildings, process

retirement claims, secure

state and federal grants, maintain

and improve our parks and

playgrounds, pave streets, replace

sidewalks and move forward

with Peabody’s Clean and

Sustainable Water Infrastructure

Improvement Project,” adding

that the mayor is grateful to

city workers for helping to keep

Peabody safe and operational.

Sports

Local talents show off their softball wares

By Mike Alongi

With the loss of the spring

season, many local softball

players lost out on an opportunity

to make an impressive

showing for college coaches.

But luckily for them, the Lynn

Invitational -- normally a baseball

showcase at Fraser Field --

added a softball showcase this

year to allow these players to

show their skills.

“It was a great three days,”

said Tim Fila, who has operated

the Lynn Invitational for 15

years now. “The girls came out

with a ton of energy and they

were all really talented, and it

was a great way to kick things

off.”

“It was a fantastic bunch of

girls,” said Derek Dana, who

coached one of the teams during

the showcase. “Everyone came

out to play and really enjoyed

being out there, and it was great

to be able to get them some

exposure since they all missed

their seasons this spring.”

“The girls really brought the

enthusiasm, and they came to

compete,” said Dan Letarte, another

coach at the invitational.

“Everyone worked hard and

I think they all learned a lot

as well. It was great to get everyone

out there.”

Letarte and Dana are both

affiliated with Ryan Leahy’s

Recruiting Edge Softball

Angels program, and the duo

coached a number of local

players at the showcase.

Some of the players who

competed included Abby

Bettencourt, Isabel Bettencourt,

Emma Bloom and Logan

Lomasney (Peabody); Lily

Newhall, Kaelyn Jennings and

Anna Fringuelli (St. Mary’s);

Reece Brinkler, Abby Fila

and Rachel Dana (Classical);

Lauren Donovan and Jolie

Quintana (Marblehead).

“When you’re around a

group like that who loves what

they’re doing and is excited to

play, you can’t help but enjoy

being a part of that,” said Dana.

“It was great to be around such

a hardworking group.”

The three dozen players were

split into three teams and played

games and ran drills at Breed,

with college coaches and scouts

watching along both in person

and via online stream.

“It was our first time using

all the streaming systems, but

things went well,” said Fila.

“We’re adapting the best we

can to this new normal, and I

think all of the college coaches

also appreciate the efforts we’re

putting in to get them the information

they need.”

Letarte and Dana, who coach

the St. John’s Prep and St.

Mary’s baseball teams, respectively,

also have some players

who are preparing for next

week’s baseball showcase.

“The baseball showcase has

really taken off, and we’re

hoping for the same with the

softball showcase eventually,”

said Dana. “I think the guys are

going to be really excited to get

out on the field.”

“Tim Fila has done such a

great job with the Invitational

over the years, and I’ve had a

lot of guys get recruited right

off that field,” said Letarte,

whose Eagles were the Division

1A runner-up in 2019. “To be

able to give these guys an opportunity

to showcase their

skills after missing their seasons

is phenomenal.

The Lynn Invitational

Baseball Showcase runs

through Friday at Fraser Field.

“Everyone is really excited

to get this going,” said Fila.

“It will be a little different this

year, but it’s still going to be a

great week of baseball.”
