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
Donald J. Trump in presidential
balloting, 16,826-12,688,
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
O’Connor. U.S. Rep. Seth
Moulton won the town 4,380
to 3,674. Question 1 won
5,958 to 2,096 and Question
2 lost 5,387 to 2,478.
Unopposed incumbents tallied
votes, with Governor’s
Councilor Terrence Kennedy
receiving 5,672 votes in
Lynnfield; state Sen. Brendan
P. Crighton receiving 1,082

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
Digital Banking LPW_SA.ai 1 10/22/2020 10:12:02 AM
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.
Digital Banking
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
and enjoy your time on the

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.

when he overcame years of injuries and personal problems and

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.

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

(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.

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?

Investigation Discovery, 9 p.m.

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

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.
