The Roaring Twenties are back

By Anne Marie Tobin

PEABODY — It was night

to wear a fedora, kick up your

heels to the Charleston,1920s

style, and maybe even knock

back a Bee’s Knees cocktail

or two.

Thanks to some clever

creativity on the part of the

Peabody Area Chamber of

Commerce (PACC), which

had to cancel its traditional

November annual dinner because

of the pandemic, the

Chamber dreamed up a virtual

Roaring ‘20s night celebration

and fundraiser.

Held last Thursday at The

Eatery, the newly-opened

food court at the upscale

Mills58 office complex on

Pulaski Street in Peabody, the

night was televised live on

Peabody Access Television

on channel 99 and also livestreamed

on Facebook.

The evening honored outgoing

chair Teresa Reade,

Mills58 owner Ed Greeley,

outgoing Pacc Executive

Director Julie Daigle,

Programs Director Maria

Terris and saluted incoming

PACC Executive Director

Beth Amico.

Tim Brown, director of

innovation and strategy at

Northeast Arc, was on hand

as celebrity bartender to

share his tips on how to mix

a killer Bee’s Knees cocktail,

a gin sour drink popularized

during Prohibition and believed

to have been invented

at the Ritz Hotel’s Cafe

Parisian in Paris in 1921.

The drink, a slang term

“the best,” is said to have

used honey and lemon to

mask the harsh smell of illegal

bathtub gin.

“It was really funny as

when we were trying to decide

on a person who would

be well-known in the community

and help draw people

into the event, we decided to

ask Tim and he immediately

knew what a Bee’s Knees

cocktail was, so it ended up

being perfect,” said Daigle.

Numerous raffle prizes

were given away including

a YMCA membership donated

by the Torigian Family

YMCA.

Food help is on the way

By Anne Marie Tobin

PEABODY — Two Peabodybased

businesses have received

state grants they hope will help

them stave off hunger in the community

and also give Peabody’s

seniors more access to healthy, locally-grown

produce.

Citizens Inn ($475,587) and

Chris’ Farm Stand ($1,158) were

among 47 organizations receiving

a total of $5,895,554 in awards

under the fourth round of the

state’s $36 million Food Security

Infrastructure Grant Program, an

initiative created following recommendations

from the Governor’s

COVID-19 Command Center’s

Food Security Task Force.

Chris’ Farm Stand, which

has an open-air market on Lake

Street in West Peabody and a

139- acre farm in Bradford, will

use its grant to purchase software

and equipment needed to process

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition

Assistance Program) payments.

“We’ve had the system in place in

Bradford and have been fighting

for two years to get it in Peabody,”

said Marlene Stasinos, who owns

the business with her husband,

Chris.

“I’m so excited about that as

there are a lot of seniors living in

Peabody who now will have access

to fresh, healthy locally-grown

produce.”

Chris’ Farm Stands offer a

wide variety of fruits, vegetables,

honey, hay, eggs, and meat. Open

daily from May to November, the

farm grows natural products using

sustainable agricultural practices

at Silsby’s Farm, a 200-year-old,

fourth-generation working farm in

Bradford.

The farm sells its own naturally-raised,

farm-fresh turkeys and

offers educational programs and

farm tours to educate children and

their families on the importance

of growing food using sustainable

agriculture practices. Chris’ is also

a CSA (Community Supported

Agriculture) farm, which offers

its members an array of seasonally-fresh

produce and food products

throughout the growing season.

Stasinos said CSA memberships

skyrocketed after the onset of the

pandemic.

“COVID basically meant we

couldn’t have any of the normal

things we usually do, like hay rides,

but business was actually good because

people didn’t want to go to

grocery schools,” Stasinos said.

“So we were busy and we also tripled

the number of CSA members

from last year. I think a part of it

was people felt safer and a lot of

them were blown away at the food

we grow in our fields. It opened a

lot of people’s eyes knowing where

they could get fresh and healthy

produce and not have to go into a

store.”

Over the first three rounds of the

Food Security Program, which was

announced in May, 2020, the state

awarded more than $11.7 million

to close to 100 organizations in its

effort to address urgent food insecurity

for residents throughout the

Commonwealth as a result of the

COVID-19 pandemic and also ensure

that individuals and families

have access to healthy, locally-produced

food.

The program also addresses

critical gaps within Massachusetts’

local food system and helps local

farmers, fishermen, food banks,

and distribution networks continue

their essential work producing a

steady supply of healthy, nutritious

food to communities and underserved

neighborhoods.

“As part of our response to the

COVID-19 pandemic, we continue

to build on our efforts to secure a

resilient, diverse local food supply

chain so Massachusetts residents

maintain access to fresh, healthy

food,” said Gov. Charlie Baker.

“With this fourth round of grants,

we will have awarded a total of

$17.7 million, making critical

investments in our local food infrastructure

and ensuring a secure

supply of food as residents across

the Commonwealth adjust to the

impacts of this unprecedented

public health challenge.”

Citizens Inn, which offers a

food pantry and a community

meals program, received one of

the largest awards. It plans to use

the grant to renovate its facility to

increase storage capacity for food

received from the Greater Boston

Food Bank as well as local farms

and partners.

This will include both dry and

refrigerated food products which

are essential, to meet the increased

demand it is seeing due to COVID.

“We are very excited about this as it

will allow us to double our storage

of proteins and grains with a new

freezer and walk in coolers,” said

Executive Director Corey Jackson.

“We will also be able to add a

heated canopy we can use in the

winter for additional pickup. The

need to help people has never been

greater as there are so many more

people who need food,” adding

that registrations have increased

370 percent since the start of the

pandemic in March.

PEABODY – RCN cable-television

subscribers in

Peabody will now be able to

view Public, Educational and

Government (PEG) channels

in High Definition (HD).

“The need for immediate,

local information

has never been greater, and

that’s what PEG access provides,”

says Peabody Access

Telecommunications (PAT)

Executive Director Camille

Bartlett. “RCN gives us the

ability to do so now in high

definition, which is a big win

for the city.”

As part of the agreement

with the city, RCN has committed

to building an exclusive

fiber infrastructure for

municipal use, a so-called

I-Net.

Peabody Mayor Ted

Bettencourt said the deal

could result in significant

savings for city departments

and schools on Internet

services.

“This is yet another meaningful

step forward in terms

of increasing the public’s

access to their local government,”

Bettencourt said.

“Thanks to RCN’s commitment

to PEG, even more

people can watch meetings

of the City Council, School

Committee and our other

boards and commissions.”

Bettencourt granted a franchise

license to RCN in 2019

that allowed RCN to offer

its cable TV and high-speed

internet services to Peabody

residents. The agreement

ended a 40-year monopoly of

cable TV service in the city

and ushered in a new era of

competition benefitting residents

and businesses alike.

Prior to 2019, Comcast was

Peabody’s only bundled

cable television, high-speed

internet and phone service

provider.

City sees red in

Kerans win

By Elyse Carmosino and

Thor Jourgensen

DANVERS — Danvers

resident Sally P. Kerans won

her hometown by a landslide,

but Peabody Republican

Robert E. May won the city

in last Tuesday’s election

with a final tally for Kerans

of 7,993-4,605.

Kerans’ win will send her

back to the Massachusetts

House of Representatives

where she represented the

13th Essex District in the

1990s.

Kerans, a Democrat,

faced off against three other

Danvers candidates and

Peabody first-time candidate

May, who won city precincts

in Peabody, 2,383 to 1,209.

“I’m very pleased and

gratified that people agreed

with our message of sending

someone to Beacon Hill who

will be a good, strong advocate

for our communities

to deal with COVID, transportation,

education, climate,

and all of these very

important issues,” Kerans

said. “I’m looking forward to

using my experience to get at

them and make progress on

them.”

Peabody residents picked

President-elect Joseph R.

Biden Jr. over President

In Peabody Ward 5, Kerans

received 612 votes and May

received 699. In Ward 6,

Kerans received 697 votes

and May got 985 votes.

The three other candidates

were William J. Bates, Jason

Guida and Chris Keohane.

The Danvers seat came into

contention after long-time

state Rep. Theodore Speliotos

announced he would retire in

January, 2021.

The 13th Essex District

includes Danvers, parts of

Middleton, and parts of

Peabody.

Kerans served in the

Massachusetts House from

1991 to 1997.

May’s first run for office

also saw him win Middleton

1,361-1,059. The three other

candidates on the ballot received

about 400 votes there.

State Rep. Bradley H.

Jones Jr., top Republican in

the Massachusetts House,

easily beat back a challenge

from North Reading

Democrat Michelle Mullet.

North Reading resident

Jones won the town 6,335-

2,948 and won Reading

4,285-3,070. Jones received

1,665 votes to Mullet’s 977

in Middleton and he won

all four Lynnfield precincts

5,117-2,748.

First elected to the House

of Representatives in 1994,

Jones has served as House

Minority Leader since 2003.

“It is an honor and a privilege

to represent the residents

of the Twentieth Middlesex

District,” said Jones. “I am

forever grateful for the support

of my constituents from

North Reading, Lynnfield,

Reading and Middleton, and

I look forward to continuing

to work on their behalf and

making sure their voices are

heard on Beacon Hill.”

With an endorsement

from U.S. Senator Elizabeth

Warren, Mullet championed

the Green New Deal. A journalist,

Mullet described herself

in campaign literature

as “a mom, a writer, an environmental

advocate and an

active member of the North

Reading

community, where she and

her husband are raising their

two children.”

Traditionally-Republican

Lynnfield served up an

election surprise with town

voters picking Biden (4,162

votes) over Trump (3,949).

U.S. Sen. Edward J. Markey

received 4,178 to 3,902

votes for Republican Kevin

How ski resorts

are returning

safely for the

2020-2021 season

By Janeen Christoff

TravelPulse

Good news for outdoor enthusiasts,

skiing is back for

the 2020-2021 season.

Many resorts closed early

last spring as the coronavirus

pandemic began its first

wave of infections, but as

the medical community has

learned more about the virus

and how it spreads, outdoor

activities have been seen as

safe and that means skiing,

snowboarding and other

snow sports are opening up

this winter.

In a recent survey from

SkiDriven.com, ski trips

are the second-most popular

type of trip for winter travel,

following road trips at No.

1. The top five destinations

for winter trips also include

popular mountain destinations,

including Vermont,

Oregon, Maine, Wyoming

and Colorado.

While mountain resorts

are opening up, this winter

sports season may look and

feel a little different than in

the past.

Most mountains will require

visitors to wear face

coverings. There will be a lot

more outdoor dining spaces,

and there will be regular

cleaning and disinfecting at

resorts.

One of the biggest changes

to the resort experience is the

introduction of reservation

systems for everything from

dining to lift lines to purchasing

passes themselves.

Resorts will be closely monitoring

crowds to combat the

spread of COVID-19.

Vail Resorts, which operates

several mountain resorts

around the country and the

world, is focused on safety.

In a letter to guests, CEO

Rob Katz announced its reopening

plans.

“It goes without saying

that operations at our 34

North American resorts will

abide by all local regulations,

but for us, that’s just

where safety begins,” Katz

wrote. “Since the beginning

of this crisis, we have made

a commitment to all of our

stakeholders that we will operate

in a way that puts safety

first and uses the insights we

have gleaned from operating

so many resorts around the

world.”

All Vail Resorts properties

will require face coverings.

Physical distancing will be

promoted, and there will be a

new reservations system.

The reservation system

is the biggest change. Pass

holders will need to make a

reservation before arriving

at the mountain and the

early season will be reserved

for pass holders only. Lift

tickets will need to be purchased

online or through a

call center; there will be no

ticket window purchases.

Local. Innovative. Trusted.

WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 NOVEMBER 12, 2020

“Again, we recognize that

most days of the season

it will not be necessary to

manage the number of people

on our mountains, and that

our pass holders may view

the reservation system as

a hassle,” Katz said in the

letter. “However, with this

program, we are planning

for as many contingencies

as possible to strive to give

you peace of mind knowing

you will have the space you

need to physically distance

slopes.”

Idaho’s Sun Valley Resort

has always been somewhat

off the beaten path meaning

“social distancing” is built

into the experience.

However, this winter, Sun

Valley will open with even

more space with the addition

of more than 380 acres of new

high-intermediate to expert

terrain on Bald Mountain and

a brand new high-speed quad

chairlift to take guests there.

Dining on the mountain

will be by reservation, and

Sun Valley Resort is encouraging

people to come to the

mountain ready to ski and

suggesting visitors embrace

the “ski culture” of years

past and use cars as personal

base camps for tailgating and

apres spots.

In a letter to guests, general

manager Tim Silva said

that the resort will open on

Thanksgiving Day, as is

tradition.

“The entire resort leadership

team has been working

to create a winter operating

plan that ensures a safe and

enjoyable experience, and I

thought it would be appropriate

to share some of our

key thoughts and assumptions

regarding the upcoming

winter season,” said Silva.

The resort also does not

plan to implement a reservation

system or visitation

limits for Sun Valley Season

Pass holders or Epic Pass

holders on Bald Mountain or

Dollar Mountain this winter

season.

Colorado’s Steamboat

Resort is keeping guests safe

with its “5 Commitments to

Containment” strategy for

visitors. The commitments

include maintaining 6 feet

of distance, hand washing,

wearing face coverings,

staying home when sick

and testing if someone has

symptoms.

Similar to other ski resorts,

Steamboat will limit

standalone tickets to control

crowds and packages and

season passes are the best

way to access the mountain.

The resort is part of the Ikon

Pass program, which is one

of the best ways visitors can

ensure access to the slopes.

Travelers should definitely

plan ahead if they are going

to travel to the mountains for

skiing and snowboarding this

year, but the good news is

that it remains a fun and safe

outdoor option during this

pandemic.

It’s the right time for corn

By James P. DeWan

Chicago Tribune

WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 7

Obituaries

If you believe Rodgers and

Hammerstein, apparently the

great state of Oklahoma once

teemed with thundering herds

of elephants.

Starting each spring, from

the dusty plains of Grainola

in the north to the equally

dusty plains of Gene Autry

in the south _ seems they’re

fairly rotten with dusty plains

down there _ these tusked

and terrifying beasts wrought

naught but death and destruction

across the land until late

summer, when the corn crops

grew high enough to block

their sight lines. Thus blinded

_ the corn being as high as

an elephant’s eye _ they’d

abandon their stampede to

hibernate through the unrelenting

Oklahomaic winters.

Once again, corn saves the

day. All hail, mighty, mighty

corn.

Why you need to learn this

Your corn crib is busting

at the seams, filled to the rafters,

stuffed to the gills. What

to make with all that corn?

Besides your lip-smacking,

homemade high fructose corn

syrup, that is.

The steps you take

First off, let’s be clear: It’s

late summer. Fresh sweet corn

is as common as Cincinnati

street pigs, so, for now, can we

eschew the canned and frozen

numbers?

Now, for those of us of

solid Midwestern stock (Not

to brag, but a recent DNA

test traces my lineage back

37,000 years to the backseat

of a Rambler parked outside a

tavern in Carbondale, Illinois),

you’ll be possessed of an almost

psychotic love for corn

on the cob. Boiled, roasted or

grilled, dripping with melted

butter, seasoned with salt and

speckled with pepper, what

could possibly be better?

On the other hand, as the

lion I met outside the vegan

carryout joint told me, shrugging

his shoulders, “Hey,

sometimes you just get

tired of antelope.” “Yeah,” I

laughed, “but wait; lions have

shoulders?”

You too, then, might want to

try something nonantelope-ish

on your corn on the cob.

Consider:

1. Compound butter. Soften

some butter, then mix in something

flavorful: minced fresh

herbs, garlic, anchovies, olives

_ you get the picture.

2. Olive oil. Mix it with

other fresh ingredients (as

above), or stir in a bit of something

delicious like pesto or

tapenade or cheese spread.

3. Mayonnaise. Spread

it, then dust it with cheese.

Mexican versions often use

cotija, but if you use Parmesan

or Romano, that surely will

Cutting kernels from the cob can be a messy chore. But standing

the ear up in a bowl means the kernels will gather there instead

of all over your cutting board and countertop.

not rend the sky asunder. Try

some cayenne or chile powder,

too, or chopped cilantro and a

squeeze of lime.

4. Cultured dairy. Use yogurt

or sour cream like the

mayo or just fold yummy

things into it. Think thematically,

like crumbled feta,

oregano and lemon juice like

you’re Zorba the Greek. Or,

cue up some A.R. Rahman on

the Spotify and mix in some

cumin, garam masala and a bit

of cayenne along with a splash

of lime.

And salt. Don’t forget the

salt.

You get the picture. If your

corn is salted properly, the

other ingredients will adhere

to the mildly flavored white

goo, turning your corn into a

creamy, savory, well-seasoned

ticket to paradise.

Still, perhaps you, being the

cultured type, prefer not to eat

with your hands. In that case,

the first thing you’ll want to

do is remove the kernels from

the cob. It’s easy and messy:

1. Use your nonknife hand

to stand a shucked ear on your

cutting board or in a large

bowl, like Lucy holding the

football for Charlie Brown.

Starting halfway up, cut down

along the cob with a chef’s

knife, releasing the kernels

onto the cutting board. After

each cut, rotate the cob toward

you and repeat until you’ve

gone all the way around. Flip

the corn over and repeat.

2. If you want to be really

cool, do this: Use the back

of the knife to scrape down

the newly naked cob. This

squeezes out any remaining

pulp and liquid _ some wags

call this the “corn milk.” Add

it to whatever you’re making

with the corn.

Now, let’s use that corn.

Here are three good, general

suggestions, all with the added

bonus of being good band

names:

Raw. Super sweet corn _

it’s everywhere this time of

year _ you don’t even need to

cook. Use it raw in salads or

salsas or sprinkle it along with

crumbled bacon on vanilla ice

cream.

Soup and Other Liquids.

No, I’m not talking about

corn squeezin’s, Li’l Abner.

(For you youngsters out there,

“corn-squeezin’s” means liquor,

and Li’l Abner was a

popular comic strip created

by Al Capp in 1934, based on

offensive stereotypes of that

group of Americans known insultingly

as “hillbillies.”)

First off, there’s corn stock.

It’s like meat stock, without

the gore. After removing the

kernels, cover the cobs in

water and simmer them for an

hour-ish to extract the flavor.

For deeper flavor, add aromatics

like onion, carrot and

celery, and herbs like parsley,

thyme and bay leaf. Use this

as a base for soups or sauces,

or just season it with salt and

drink it warm like the psychopath

you are.

Or, make corn chowder:

Crisp some bacon lardons and

set them aside, then sweat

diced aromatics in the bacon

fat. Add your corn and corn

stock (or water or chicken

stock) to cover. Simmer

until the corn is tender, then

pulse it in a blender to make

it smooth-ish and thick-ish.

Season it with salt, finish it

with cream and garnish with

the reserved bacon. Yum.

Peabody field hockey wins on Senior Night

By Mike Alongi

PEABODY — It’s always

nice when seniors have a big impact

on a Senior Night win, and

that was exactly the case for the

Peabody field hockey team in a

6-0 victory over Northeastern

Conference foe Saugus Tuesday

evening at Coley Lee Field.

Three seniors scored goals in

the victory, while a pair of senior

goalkeepers combined for the

shutout in net.

“I think things are really

starting to come together for us

out on the field,” said Peabody

coach Tawny Palmieri. “We’ve

been working hard to figure out

playing in the new 7-on-7 rules

and how to deal with the conditioning

aspect, and I think now

we’re starting to play up to our

capabilities.”

Prior to the game the Tanners

honored their group of 11 seniors

— captain Sydney Branga,

captain Alise Maltsev, Kylie

Colella, Emma Hayward, Sophie

Izzo, Jenna Lombard, Dado

Nasso, Niki Nikolouzos, Julia

Paulino, Elise Staunton and Lily

Bromberger — for their contributions

to the program over the

past four years.

“To see this group of girls

grow, both on the field and off

it, has been really special,” said

Palmieri. “It’s tough because

we’re just now starting to really

figure things out and now they’re

leaving, but all of them have left

their mark on the culture of this

team and the younger players

who will be coming back.”

As for the game, Peabody

breakaway chances just on her

own in the first quarter, but all

of those chances ended up with

saves from Saugus’ goalkeeper.

But then, with just over two

minutes to play, the Tanners’ fortunes

changed. Peabody earned

a penalty shot with just over two

minutes to play, and Smith was

chosen to take the shot. Instead

of the normal shot across the

ground, Smith decided to go top

shelf, scooping the ball up and

over the goalie’s left shoulder to

give the Tanners a 1-0 lead.

By Mike Alongi

PEABODY — If you wanted evidence

that the Bishop Fenwick-St.

Mary’s rivalry is alive and well,

you didn’t need to look any further

than Thursday night’s game between

the Crusaders and Spartans

volleyball teams. In a hard-fought

battle from start to finish, Fenwick

earned a 3-1 victory over its

Catholic Central League rival. The

set scores for Fenwick were 26-24,

27-25, 21-25, 25-17.

“One thing we’ve really been

trying to work on lately is having a

high-tempo offense, and also being

able to sustain runs,” said Fenwick

coach Samantha Kelly. “We did

some things well and didn’t do

some other things we needed

to, but we’ll be better in the next

game.”

Senior captain Annie Murphy

had a big game for Fenwick,

while setters Jessica Furtado and

Shannon Corcoran also played

well in the win.

The game was a back-and-forth

That goal seemed to open the

floodgates. Less than a minute

later, DeCicco found the back

of the net on a rebound to make

it 2-0, a score that Peabody

took into the start of the second

quarter.

It didn’t take long for Peabody

to score in the second quarter

either, as Paulino was able to

knock home a rebound with 12

minutes to play to make it 3-0.

The score remained 3-0 at the

halftime break.

The Tanners were able to run

affair from the very beginning. The

two sides battled to a 15-15 deadlock

in the first set, with the lead

changing hands a number of times

throughout. St. Mary’s was able to

take a small lead and stretch it to

two points, but Fenwick continued

to battle back. After the Crusaders

tied the score at 21-21 and then

took the lead, St. Mary’s continued

to battle back. Such was the case

until the score sat at 24-24. From

there, Fenwick was able to squeeze

out the final two points necessary

to take the first set, 26-24.

The second set was no less exciting.

Fenwick jumped ahead

early by a score of 8-3, but St.

Mary’s never stopped fighting.

The Spartans slowly chipped away

at the deficit, eventually coming

as close as one point. Finally, after

a small rally, St. Mary’s tied the

score at 17-17. From that point,

there were six ties and seven lead

changes in the remainder of the

set. But with the score tied at 25-

25, Fenwick was able to notch the

away with the win in the second

half, getting goals from Izzo,

Staunton and Scopa to round out

the scoring.

Peabody (2-3-1) will now host

NEC foe Danvers Thursday afternoon

(4:30).

“It’ll be nice to have a bit of

a break, and we’ll continue to

try to keep practice light while

also continuing to work,” said

Palmieri. “Hopefully we’ll be

able to continue this strong play

into next week and beyond.”

tally that sent it to set point. After a

double hit by St. Mary’s, Fenwick

took the set 27-25.

St. Mary’s jumped out to a 2-0

lead in the third set, but Fenwick

responded by putting together a

14-6 run to jumped ahead and

force the Spartans to take a timeout.

Fenwick pushed its lead to

as many as eight points, 19-11, but

the Spartans wouldn’t be denied.

St. Mary’s responded with a stellar

14-2 run to win the set, capped off

by a big kill from Fainga’a.

But luckily for the Crusaders,

the momentum shift wasn’t too

great to overcome. Fenwick came

out in the fourth set and jumped

out to a 7-5 lead early, and the

Crusaders were able to stretch that

out from there. Despite a small

rally from St. Mary’s near the end

of the set, Fenwick was able to take

the fourth set by a score 25-17 and

capture the match.

Bishop Fenwick’s Ella Morgan scored one goal in a win over

St. Mary’s Monday.

Fenwick girls

soccer blanks

rival St. Mary’s

By Mike Alongi

PEABODY — The Bishop

Fenwick girls soccer team continued

its positive momentum

right into Monday’s matchup

against rival St. Mary’s, getting

a full team effort in a 3-0 win

over the Spartans at Donaldson

Stadium. The win is the

second straight shutout for the

Crusaders.

“That was probably the

toughest game we’ve played all

year outside of Bishop Feehan,”

said Fenwick coach Steve

Flaherty. “St. Mary’s played us

tough all game long. We changed

things up a bit in the second half,

and that’s what really helped us

pull away.”

Elani Gikas led the way for

Fenwick with one goal and

one assist, while Ella Morgan

and Ally Mitchell each scored

one goal. Lea Bettencourt and

Samantha Sharp each had one

assist, while McKenna Gilligan

played well in the midfield.

Goalkeeper Claudia Keith

earned the shutout in net.

For St. Mary’s, senior captain

Julia Nickolau, junior Meghan

Lovett and sophomore Allie

Fritz all played well in the loss.

“Fenwick is one of the premier

teams in the league and they

played like it,” said St. Mary’s

coach Jim Foley. “We hung

with them for the majority of

the game, but we made a couple

mistakes. When you make mistakes

against a good team like

that, they’ll make you pay.”

As is the case nearly every

time these two rivals meet, the

Crusaders and Spartans battled

back and forth all game long

on a chilly night at Donaldson

Stadium. Fenwick held a slim

1-0 lead at halftime on a goal

from Gikas before pulling away

in the second half.

“I enjoy it every time we go

up against St. Mary’s,” said

Flaherty. “It always feels like

there’s a little more on the line

when we play them.”

“It’s always a great battle

against those guys,” said Foley.

“The girls came out with a lot of

heart and really gave it their all,

and it’s always like that when

we go up against Fenwick. I was

really proud of how we played.”

St. Mary’s (5-6-2) travels to

Arlington Catholic Saturday

morning (11:30).

“I think the key for us is just

being more consistent on the

offensive end, because we’ve

had trouble at times generating

offense,” said Foley. “Overall,

we’re just trying to finish the

season strong and go into the

CCL Cup with a little bit of

momentum.”

Fenwick (10-1-2) has more

than a week off before playing

on the road at Malden Catholic

next Tuesday evening (6).

“It will definitely be nice to

get a week off here because

we’ve been playing three games

a week all season,” said Flaherty.

“The girls are a little drained

now, so it’ll be nice to get them a

little rested and recharged before

the end-of-season tournament.”

Ice Hockey, basketball still possible

this winter as EEA releases updated

sports guidelines

By Mike Alongi

Ice hockey and basketball

teams across the Commonwealth

were handed a new piece of

hope for the upcoming winter

season Friday afternoon, as the

Massachusetts Executive Office

of Energy and Environmental

Affairs (EEA) released its latest

updated guidelines for youth

and amateur sports. While the

guidelines still classify basketball

and ice hockey as “High

Risk” sports, the decision has

been made to allow those sports

to hold inter-team competitions

and games with the right safety

protocols put in place.

Essentially, ice hockey and

basketball will likely see updated

rules similar to fall sports like

soccer, field hockey, volleyball

and cross country. Masks will

be mandatory, social distancing

will be employed where possible

and there will likely be temporary

rule changes to help keep

players, coaches and officials

safe.

In addition, the new guidelines

allow for “High Risk” sports that

are played outdoors -- including

football and rugby -- to hold

competitions as well. Football is

currently slated to be played in

the “Fall Sports II” season that

safety guidelines for youth and adult amateur sports last week.

runs from late February to late

April.

Unfortunately, sports that have

sustained contact such as wrestling

— which is also classified

as “High Risk” — will not be

allowed to compete in the winter

season. There is still a possibility

for such sports to be played in the

“Fall Sports II” season.

The next step in the process

By Mike Alongi

The Peabody girls soccer

team celebrated Senior Night

in a big way Friday evening,

notching a 2-0 win over

Northeastern Conference foe

Saugus at Coley Lee Field.

The game was Peabody’s first

in two weeks.

Prior to the game, the

Tanners honored their group

of eight seniors — Aja

Alimonti, Jordyn Collins,

Hailee Lomasney, Bridget

O’Connell, Amber Kiricoples,

Hailey Baker, Olivia Lavalle

and Chiara Campbell — for

their contributions to the program

over the past four years.

As for the game, Kiricoples

and Baker each scored one

goal for Peabody, while

O’Connell had one assist.

will be for the various individual

MIAA Sport Committees to

meet and work out safety protocols

that can then be approved

by the MIAA Sports Medicine

Committee and the MIAA Board

of Directors so that these sports

can be played in the winter and

“Fall Sports II” seasons.

The winter season is currently

set to begin on Nov. 30.

Golf: The Masters: First Round

ESPN, 1 p.m. Live

Postponed from April due to COVID-19, the 2020 Masters tournament

will finally tee off at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia,

albeit without spectators in attendance. Tiger Woods accomplished

one of the greatest career comebacks in all of sports

when he overcame years of injuries and personal problems and

won the 2019 Masters. Top contenders this year include Dustin

Johnson, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, PGA Championship

winner Collin Morikawa and U.S. Open champion Bryson

DeChambeau. ESPN and CBS televise through Sunday.

General Hospital

Brando (Johnny Wactor) makes a promise to Carly (Laura

Wright). Nina (Cynthia Watros) confronts Cyrus (Jeff Kober).

Herbst) is determined.

Station 19/Grey’s Anatomy

ABC, 8 p.m.

Season Premiere!

This 3-hour premiere crossover event brings together both Station

19and Grey’s Anatomy. Last season on Station 19, Lt. Andy

Herrera’s (Jaina Lee Ortiz) life was full of upheaval. She spontaneously

married battalion chief Robert Sullivan (Boris Kodjoe)

and, in the last moment of the finale, came face-to-face with the

mom she thought had passed away decades ago! The fallout will

unfold against the real-life backdrop of the pandemic in Season

4. And on Grey’s Anatomy, ABC’s long-running soapy med drama

returns for its 17th season with a double timeline: one that finds

the doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial facing the COVID-19 pandemic,

the other flashing back to where they left off last spring.

Expect some lighthearted humor, joy, romance and sex, mixed in

the everyday stresses of ongoing medical emergencies.

Live From Daryl’s House: “Smokey Robinson”

AXS TV, 8 p.m.

R&B legend Smokey Robinson stops by to talk with host Daryl

Hall and perform with Hall and his band, featuring classics like

“Tears of a Clown.”

Pretty Woman

AMC, 8 p.m.

Catch a Classic!

Julia Roberts shines in all of her Eliza Doolittle-like glory in this

classic. She stars as a slightly rough-around-the-edges call girl

who meets the perfect man — a rich, handsome business magnate

(Richard Gere) who is seeking a friendly companion. Her

wit wins him over and makes her Cinderella fantasies come true

when they fall in love.

Leonard Maltin’s Neglected Classics

TCM, beginning at 8 p.m.

In this evening’s film lineup on Turner Classic Movies, famed film

critic Leonard Maltin introduces a number of films that many

viewers may not have heard of, but which deserve to be remembered

and enjoyed as the classics they are. The night begins

with 1935’s The GildedLily, a romantic comedy starring Claudette

Colbert and Fred MacMurray that was highly acclaimed during

its time but doesn’t necessarily come to mind when thinking of

those actors today. Also tonight: Come Next Spring(1956), a drama

starring Ann Sheridan, Steve Cochran and Walter Brennan;

Blind Adventure(1933), a pre-Code mystery film starring Robert

Armstrong and Helen Mack; The Mob(1951), a film noir starring

Broderick Crawford; and Penthouse(1933), a crime film starring

Warner Baxter, Myrna Loy and some risqué pre-Code language.

Southern Charm: “A Pair and a Spare”

Bravo, 9 p.m.

Leva hosts a Persian dinner for the girls, while the boys go out

and discover John doesn’t honor bro code. Meanwhile, pigs officially

fly when Shep and Taylor double-date with Austen and

Madison. And when Kathryn finds out a secret about Thomas,

her fantasy of them getting back together crumbles.

Flip or Flop: “Cut & Run”

HGTV, 9 p.m.

Tarek El Moussa and Christina Anstead flip a house in a cookie

cutter neighborhood of Laguna Hills, California. At the house they

discover a scene of disarray — the drywall has been torn up,

exterior siding has been left off and it looks like someone left the

house in a hurry. Why would someone cut and run on a house

like this?

Suspicious Minds: “Whispers From the Woods”

Investigation Discovery, 9 p.m.

Season Finale!

After 19-year-old Erica Miller disappears into a frigid January

night, the town of York, Pennsylvania, is consumed with suspicion.

Rumors fly as Erica’s mother desperately searches for her

daughter and investigators turn up new suspects around every

corner. Friends and former classmates reveal unexpected details

about the young woman beloved by everyone she met — whose

trust, detectives believe, was betrayed by someone close to her.

RELOCATING?

“Helpful tips”

for a S-M-O-O-T-H

trouble-free move!

Designate a drawer for

essentials such as

sheets and towels for

quick access the first

night you move into

your new home.

Plan a garage/yard

sale before you move.

Fresh coffee, baking

soda, or charcoal in a

sock, placed inside

your refrigerator will

keep the inside smelling

fresh and clean.

Pack your current

phone book — it’s a

quick easy reference to

the folks back home.

Place pictures in

boxes between sheets

or blankets to give

them extra protection.

Pack plates vertically

— on edge — rather

than stacked.

Pack heavy items in

small boxes and lighter

items in larger boxes.

Tag each box with

destination room and

contents.
