LYNNFIELD — The Lynnfield<br />

Police Department, in partnership<br />

with Northeast Arc and the Lynnfield<br />

Fire Department, held its first Coffee<br />

with a Cop event at the MarketStreet<br />

retail center last Saturday.<br />

The two-hour event was not only<br />

a fundraiser for families served by<br />

the Northeast Arc Autism Support<br />

Center. It also provided members of<br />

the public an opportunity to have a<br />

complimentary cup of coffee and<br />

learn more about the services provided<br />

by the Arc and Lynnfield<br />

Police Department.<br />

“It was a great day despite the fact it<br />

was so cold. And we had people from<br />

all over come to talk with the police<br />

and fire departments as well as the<br />

Arc,” said Lynnfield resident Susan<br />

Parziale, who organized the event with<br />

Lynnfield Police Sgt. Chris DeCarlo.<br />

“The turnout was fantastic, so we<br />

were very happy. We were so fortunate<br />

to have Autism Support Center<br />

Program Director Nancy Lucier with<br />

us to help people with their questions,<br />

so it was a great experience.”<br />

The event was catered by Panera<br />

Bread. UniCare General Manager<br />

The Lynnfield Police Department partnered with disabilities services program<br />

Northeast Arc to hold its first Coffee with a Cop program. The event<br />

aimed to raise money for families served by the Northeast Arc Autism<br />

Support Center.<br />

donated merchandise giveaways.<br />

“Panera gave us a ton of food and<br />

coffee and UniCare gave us some<br />

serious swag,” Parziale said. “Every<br />

person who came and purchased a<br />

patch also received a UniCare-donated<br />

swag bag, so it was great.”<br />

DeCarlo gave a shout-out to<br />

MarketStreet.<br />

“We’ve received great support from<br />

MarketStreet, which gave us the spot<br />

and helped us set up,” said DeCarlo.<br />

“We’ve had tremendous help from<br />

members of the community, including<br />

(co-organizers) Susan Parziale, Dan<br />

Macintyre, and Julie Perrin, to name<br />

a few.”<br />

Parziale praised the police department<br />

for helping to put the event together<br />

in the span of just a few weeks.<br />

District approves $1.9 million budget<br />

LYNNFIELD — The Lynnfield<br />

Water District’s April 14 meeting saw<br />

Stephan Rondeau unanimously voted<br />

in as water commissioner for the next<br />

three years, and the board approved<br />

The board approved $1,902,388 for<br />

general maintenance and operating<br />

and wages and the rest devoted to<br />

School project<br />

expansion<br />

manager hired<br />

By Anne Marie Tobin<br />

LYNNFIELD — The School Building<br />

Committee voted unanimously last Friday<br />

to hire LEFTFIELD, LLC as the owner’s<br />

project manager (OPM) for the voter-approved<br />

$17 million elementary schools expansion<br />

project.<br />

LEFTFIELD was one of four finalists selected<br />

from a pool of 14 firms that responded<br />

to more than two dozen formal requests issued<br />

by Department of Public Works Director<br />

John Tomasz.<br />

As the OPM, the firm will oversee the construction<br />

of the new school building.<br />

“They were all strong, diverse candidates,”<br />

said School Building Committee Chair John<br />

Scenna, who reviewed the submissions along<br />

with Tomasz and Town Engineer Charlie<br />

Richter. “But LEFTFIELD had the most experience<br />

with fast-track projects. While ours<br />

is technically not a fast track, you could say<br />

the first three months is, so their experience<br />

really fits our needs the best.”<br />

According to a cover letter submitted with<br />

its proposal, LEFTFIELD has been in business<br />

for 14 years and has completed more<br />

than $1.2 billion of public construction projects.<br />

Its sales pitch promises to “immediately<br />

infuse ourselves into the new project to ensure<br />

construction begins in early July.”<br />

“They are prepared to start as early as<br />

next week once we enter into a contract with<br />

them,” Scenna said.<br />

St. John’s storyteller<br />

LYNNFIELD — Town<br />

resident Andrew Vittiglio<br />

wants to make sure that<br />

everyone hears the inspiring<br />

stories that his St.<br />

John’s Prep classmates<br />

have to tell.<br />

A senior, Vittiglio was<br />

one of the organizers of<br />

the school’s first ever<br />

TEDx event, which took<br />

place virtually in January.<br />

Vittiglio said he was inspired<br />

by a friend’s story<br />

of his summer job working<br />

in a lab.<br />

“I thought, ‘he could<br />

tell me this story now, but<br />

I’m sure so many more<br />

students and more people<br />

at the Prep would want to<br />

hear what he was doing,’”<br />

Vittiglio said. “We felt like<br />

it was the best way to share<br />

ideas and experiences with<br />

the Prep community.”<br />

Elementary school<br />

expansion project<br />

manager hired<br />

SCHOOL<br />

FROM PAGE 1<br />

“This company takes a<br />

very detailed approach to the<br />

design process and scheduling,<br />

and even presented us<br />

with a schedule, so they are<br />

thinking the right way. The<br />

lead project manager has<br />

completed over 14 accelerated<br />

projects, which, with a<br />

condensed window, need to<br />

have strong management.”<br />

Local projects managed<br />

by LEFTFIELD include the<br />

Elbridge Gerry Elementary<br />

School in Marblehead, the<br />

Galvin Middle School and<br />

Walton Elementary School<br />

in Wakefield, and the<br />

Garfield Elementary School<br />

in Revere.<br />

Scenna said Lynnfield<br />

School Committee members<br />

reached out to Wakefield<br />

and Marblehead for comment<br />

about their experience<br />

working with LEFTFIELD.<br />

“They both said their performance<br />

was excellent<br />

and gave them an A-plus,”<br />

Scenna said.<br />

The LEFTFIELD team<br />

will be led by CEO Jim<br />

Rogers, who will serve as<br />

principal in charge, while<br />

James Riefstahl will be the<br />

project director.<br />

“(Riefstahl’s) experience<br />

coordinating public and<br />

abutter outreach, leadership<br />

communication, and<br />

his organizational skills will<br />

be key throughout the entire<br />

process,” said Rogers.<br />

“James will coordinate the<br />

efforts of the design and construction<br />

team to ensure that<br />

budget, quality and schedule<br />

requirements are met or<br />

exceeded.”<br />

In December 2020, the<br />

town appropriated $17 million<br />

for the project, which<br />

includes the construction<br />

of five new classrooms at<br />

both the Summer Street and<br />

Huckleberry Hill schools.<br />

Four classrooms will be dedicated<br />

to everyday learning,<br />

with the fifth serving as an<br />

adaptable individualized<br />

learning space. Two existing<br />

classrooms at each school<br />

will be renovated.<br />

The project also includes<br />

enlarging the gymnasium at<br />

Huckleberry to a size similar<br />

to the middle school gym,<br />

expanding and reconfiguring<br />

both schools’ parking lots,<br />

establishing new playing<br />

fields at each school and installing<br />

a new playground at<br />

Summer Street. The project<br />

will be ready for the start of<br />

the 2022-23 school year.<br />

In response to a question<br />

from School Committee<br />

Chair Jamie Hayman on<br />

whether anyone had asked<br />

LEFTFIELD if they had done<br />

any work outside of partnerships<br />

with the Massachusetts<br />

School Building Authority<br />

(MSBA), Scenna said the<br />

fact that the town is funding<br />

the project on its own is<br />

advantageous.<br />

“The fact that they are out<br />

on their own is more beneficial,<br />

as there’s so much<br />

less paperwork than with<br />

MSBA,” Scenna said. “The<br />

fact that they have been able<br />

to be so successful on accelerated<br />

MSBA projects is<br />

impressive.”<br />

The next step, Scenna<br />

said, is to “get into the bid<br />

process.”<br />

“The role of an OPM is<br />

to come on board and assist<br />

with the bidding process<br />

by making sure that our approach<br />

is coordinated with<br />

all the other people involved<br />

in the process,” Scenna said.<br />

Town Administrator Rob<br />

Dolan said that the project is<br />

the culmination of the efforts<br />

of many.<br />

“I would say that it’s been<br />

the real input of leadership<br />

on the part of the Select<br />

Board and schools and all<br />

the various committees that<br />

have been involved in this<br />

from the very beginning,”<br />

Dolan said.<br />

“These people all serve<br />

voluntarily and while it’s<br />

been a long, steady process,<br />

it’s because of them that we<br />

are talking about breaking<br />

ground this summer. This is<br />

a very exciting time for the<br />

entire town of Lynnfield.”<br />

“We never brought the<br />

Autism Patch Program to<br />

Lynnfield,” said Parziale.<br />

Reading had it, Stoneham<br />

had it, Braintree, the list goes<br />

on and on, so I reached out<br />

to ask if we could bring the<br />

program to Lynnfield and<br />

the department could not<br />

have been more supportive<br />

in making the program and<br />

this event today happen.<br />

“The response today was<br />

incredible despite the fact<br />

that it was so cold and wet.<br />

People came who knew<br />

we were going to be there.<br />

People came who were just<br />

at MarketStreet and were curious<br />

about what was going<br />

on and just stopped by. The<br />

turnout was more than we<br />

expected.”<br />

DeCarlo said the department<br />

has raised more than<br />

$2,000 through its patch<br />

sales.<br />

“This is a great opportunity<br />

for us to broaden our<br />

community outreach programs,”<br />

he said. “It’s gone<br />

well so far. We’ve had a lot<br />

of positive feedback.”<br />

That’s putting it mildly, according<br />

to Parziale.<br />

“I think we’ve sold out<br />

of the original order of 300<br />

patches and now the police<br />

department has ordered 300<br />

more,” she said.<br />

Parziale said the best part<br />

of the day for her was when<br />

a mother of a teenage boy<br />

with autism reached out for<br />

advice.<br />

“Her son is high-functioning<br />

and is going to be<br />

starting driving soon so<br />

she was concerned about<br />

what she needed to know,”<br />

Parziale said. “When she<br />

asked that question, I looked<br />

at Chris and thought that’s<br />

exactly what we were trying<br />

to do with today’s event. It’s<br />

all about finding ways to<br />

provide people with answers<br />

to their questions and tell<br />

them about the services that<br />

are out there to help them.<br />

“Being able to help that<br />

mother was just so special<br />

and the perfect way to end<br />

the day. If that one encounter<br />

is all that happened today<br />

— to help just one family —<br />

then that’s a very good day,<br />

and we are doing what we set<br />

out to do.”<br />

Clear Water picks up the tab<br />

FOR THE WEEKLY NEWS<br />

LYNNFIELD — Boston<br />

Police Patrolmen’s Association<br />

(BPPA) members and emergency<br />

medical services (EMS)<br />

workers received a complimentary<br />

Easter Sunday meal,<br />

thanks to Lowell Street-based<br />

Boston Clear Water.<br />

“We are very appreciative<br />

and thankful to Boston Clear<br />

Water Company for providing<br />

the BPPA and emergency<br />

services with this wonderful<br />

Easter dinner. This act of<br />

generosity will go a long way<br />

in restoring and refueling the<br />

hundreds of police officers and<br />

EMS who are always giving<br />

110 percent,” said Boston Police<br />

Patrolmen’s Association<br />

President Larry Calderone.<br />

Boston Clear Water operates<br />

one of the oldest mineral<br />

springs in the United States,<br />

according to a BPPA press release.<br />

While its water origins<br />

are unknown, it has been a reliable<br />

source of quenching thirst<br />

since 1615.<br />

With a pH of 7.7, high<br />

mineral content, electrolytes<br />

and no additives, Clear Water<br />

brings one of the purest sources<br />

of drinking water in the region,<br />

the release said.<br />

"Now, more than ever, we<br />

need to support the first responders<br />

who keep our neighborhoods<br />

safe," said Anthony<br />

Gattineri, Boston Clear Water<br />

Company steward. “We want<br />

to express our sincere appreciation<br />

to the brave men and<br />

women of the BPPA and EMS<br />

who are on the front lines every<br />

day. It’s an honor as fellow<br />

citizens of the Commonwealth<br />

to serve them a delicious Easter<br />

Sunday dinner and share<br />

our fresh mineral water with<br />

them. It’s an added bonus to<br />

assist the hard-hit hospitality<br />

industry in 2020 as well.”<br />

The two restaurants providing<br />

meals were The Stockyard<br />

in Brighton and West on Centre<br />

in West Roxbury.<br />

McQueen says<br />

thank you<br />

To the editor:<br />

LETTER TO THE EDITOR<br />

Thank you so much to everyone<br />

who came out to vote for me<br />

on April 13, and for all of my wonderful<br />

supporters and campaign<br />

team, and of course my family.<br />

I am humbled by, and appreciative<br />

of, your support. The<br />

School Committee election was<br />

the only contested race, yet Lynnfield<br />

residents came out to vote in<br />

large numbers to elect and re-elect<br />

a number of public officials.<br />

It was great to see so many familiar<br />

faces turning out to vote at<br />

the polls on Tuesday. Additionally,<br />

it was wonderful that so many of<br />

you who I had not met personally<br />

until Tuesday came out to vote for<br />

me and for experience, compassion,<br />

empathy, integrity, attentiveness,<br />

independence, and a commitment<br />

to all stakeholders in the<br />

Lynnfield Public Schools.<br />

Moments I will never forget<br />

from this election include the two<br />

senior gentlemen who came out<br />

to vote and told me their reasons<br />

why. The first was voting for me<br />

because his grandson is a teacher,<br />

and the second said he had “no intention<br />

of voting in this election”<br />

until he read a letter (he gave me<br />

the letter he had clipped from the<br />

paper) from one of my former students<br />

that had inspired him to cast<br />

a vote for me.<br />

I am looking forward to working<br />

with my School Committee<br />

colleagues and supporting Superintendent<br />

Kristen Vogel and her<br />

remarkable team of educators in<br />

achieving and exceeding our district<br />

and strategic goals of: Building<br />

leadership capacity; educator<br />

growth; curriculum and assessment;<br />

assessment and accountability,<br />

and social and emotional<br />

wellness.<br />

We will expand STEM (science,<br />

technology, engineering<br />

and mathematics) and World Language<br />

programming, a process<br />

that had started pre-COVID. I am<br />

committed to the “tent poles” that<br />

support this work — the safety<br />

and well-being of students, relationships,<br />

equity, and academic<br />

growth.<br />

The foundational value here<br />

is equity, which is something I<br />

commit to professionally as an<br />

anti-racist educator, and is a value<br />

that I have championed in my time<br />

on the School Committee.<br />

Thank you for voting Mc-<br />

In the Centre since 1720, Centre<br />

Church is an open and affirming<br />

United Church of Christ. No<br />

matter who you are or where you<br />

are on your life’s journey, you are<br />

welcome at Centre Church.<br />

“Earth Day” is becoming<br />

“Earth Month.” Of course, preserving<br />

our planet needs to be in<br />

mind 365 days of the year, as it is<br />

our bad habits that are causing the<br />

current climate crisis we’re in and,<br />

as we all know, habits are hard to<br />

break.<br />

During the month of April,<br />

we’ll be suggesting videos to<br />

watch before Sunday so that we<br />

can spend a short time commenting<br />

on them in Fellowship. If you<br />

didn’t get to watch the video beforehand,<br />

our conversation should<br />

impart the message of it, and<br />

you’ll feel as if you did.<br />

The videos will be educational<br />

about climate ideas or concerns<br />

such as: Small-scale Farming,<br />

Fair Trade, Recycling, Climate<br />

Change and Advocating for Environmental<br />

Policy Change.<br />

We’ll be publishing movie<br />

ideas and free video links in each<br />

Centre Church weekly email,<br />

which is usually sent out on Thursday.<br />

You might have to search for<br />

the movies on whatever streaming<br />

service you use and they might<br />

cost something to rent but are usually<br />

less than $5.<br />

Some are appropriate for the<br />

whole family, such as “The Biggest<br />

Little Farm,” which is about<br />

sustainable small farming.<br />

Since it’s Earth Month, we’d<br />

like to remind you of the golden<br />

rule (of climate preservation) —<br />

“Reduce, Re-use, Recycle.” After<br />

donating small household items<br />

and shredding years of paper, you<br />

may have other used but still useful<br />

items that you no longer need.<br />

Someone else might be able to use<br />

these things.<br />

Please see www.centre-church.<br />

where you can donate such items<br />

including clothing and furniture.<br />

Some organizations will even<br />

come to you for pickup.<br />

“A human being would certainly<br />

not grow to be 70 or 80<br />

years old if this longevity had no<br />

meaning for the species to which<br />

of its own and cannot be<br />

morning.”—Carl Jung<br />

Temple Emmanuel of Wakefield<br />

sponsors “Wisdom for<br />

Growing Older,” a Zoom workshop,<br />

on Monday, April 19, 7 p.m.<br />

This spirited workshop on aging<br />

invites participants to explore<br />

together how we understand and<br />

find meaning and purpose in the<br />

experience of growing older —<br />

the challenges, the transitions, the<br />

losses, and the joys. This interactive<br />

workshop will include Jewish<br />

wisdom for growing older, current<br />

research, and practices to foster<br />

wellness during the pandemic and<br />

beyond.<br />

The workshop facilitator will<br />

be Marjorie Sokoll, M.Ed., director<br />

of the Betty Ann Greenbaum<br />

Miller Center for Jewish Healing<br />

at Jewish Family & Children’s<br />

Service (JF&CS).<br />

Anyone interested may attend<br />

the Zoom workshop whether or<br />

not you belong to a Jewish congregation.<br />

The workshops are<br />

open to the public. There is no<br />

charge to attend.<br />

We have experienced physical<br />

isolation for many months and<br />

have tried to find creative ways to<br />

stay connected to each other and<br />

to ourselves. This workshop offers<br />

tips, techniques, and resources to<br />

promote well-being and connection<br />

based on current research and<br />

Jewish wisdom.<br />

It will be an opportunity for<br />

meaningful community conversations<br />

to explore together how<br />

we understand and find meaning<br />

and purpose in the experience of<br />

growing older during these uncertain<br />

times — the challenges,<br />

the transitions, the losses, and the<br />

joys.<br />

Pioneers win Cape Ann League Tournament title<br />

VOLLEYBALL<br />

By Mike Alongi<br />

LYNNFIELD — The<br />

Lynnfield volleyball team<br />

capped off a strange, shortened<br />

season in the best way it knew<br />

how on Friday night, notching a<br />

3-0 win over Cape Ann League<br />

rival North Reading to take<br />

home the CAL Tournament<br />

championship. The Pioneers<br />

won by set scores of 25-22, 25-<br />

19, 25-23.<br />

“It’s a special thing to finish<br />

the season with a win and go out<br />

with that, and it’s a new thing<br />

for all of us,” said Lynnfield<br />

coach Brent Ashley. “You could<br />

tell that the girls were so happy<br />

with what they accomplished,<br />

but you can also tell it’s a little<br />

bittersweet because they feel<br />

like they had the ability to go for<br />

a state championship if it was<br />

possible. But still, I’m so proud<br />

of the team for how they approached<br />

this season, how they<br />

stayed focused all year and how<br />

they accomplished what they set<br />

out to do.”<br />

The win caps off an incredible<br />

year for the Pioneers, who have<br />

only lost two games in the past<br />

two seasons.<br />

“It’s funny, I was talking to<br />

(senior) Daniela (Colarusso)<br />

and we realized that she’s one<br />

of the few lucky people who can<br />

count all the losses in her high<br />

school career on one hand,” said<br />

Ashley. “She’s been a huge part<br />

of this team along with the other<br />

seniors and also the seniors who<br />

came before them, and all of the<br />

girls who dedicated their time<br />

and energy to being the best they<br />

can in their sport. They’re the<br />

ones who put this winning culture<br />

in place, and it’s going to<br />

be here long after they’re gone<br />

thanks to all the work they put in<br />

over the years.”<br />

While Ella Gizmunt once<br />

again led the Pioneers in kills<br />

on the night, Lynnfield also got<br />

a great performance from Jillian<br />

Babine (six kills, six aces, 12<br />

digs). Daniela Colarusso contributed<br />

16 digs, while Celia<br />

Carbone, Grace Davie and<br />

Genna Gioioso all stepped up in<br />

big moments for the Pioneers.<br />

North Reading came to play<br />

Friday night, and Lynnfield<br />

found that out right away. The<br />

Hornets started fast and jumped<br />

out to a 6-2 lead in the early minutes<br />

before Lynnfield started to<br />

battle back. The Pioneers eventually<br />

tied things up at 9-9, but<br />

then North Reading got hot<br />

again and jumped ahead 17-13.<br />

Lynnfield once again tied things<br />

up at 18-18, and this time the<br />

two sides went back and forth<br />

before the Pioneers grabbed a<br />

foothold at 22-20. Lynnfield<br />

went on to score three of the<br />

next five points to take the set in<br />

a close one.<br />

The second set was much of<br />

the same, with the two sides<br />

battling through nine ties and<br />

10 lead changes over the course<br />

of the set. But when Lynnfield<br />

went ahead 20-16 and forced<br />

a North Reading timeout, the<br />

Pioneers had it. Lynnfield closed<br />

the set on a 5-3 run to win the set<br />

and put itself firmly in the driver’s<br />

seat.<br />

That momentum went right<br />

into the start of the third set, as<br />

the Pioneers jumped out to a 7-1<br />

lead in the blink of an eye. But<br />

North Reading still had some<br />

fight left, and the Hornets battled<br />

all the way back to tie things<br />

at 12-12 before taking the lead.<br />

The two sides continued to trade<br />

shots from there, exchanging<br />

seven ties and eight lead changes<br />

the rest of the way. Then, with<br />

the score tied 23-23, the Pioneers<br />

were able to notch the final two<br />

points to take the set, the match<br />

and the championship.<br />

Lynnfield wraps up a successful<br />

season that saw it go<br />

11-1, win the Cape Ann League<br />

regular-season title for the third<br />

year in a row and take home the<br />

CAL Tournament crown.

Lynnfield outlasts Triton in<br />

double overtime thriller<br />

FOOTBALL<br />

By Mike Alongi<br />

BYFIELD — The Lynnfield<br />

football team needed to dig<br />

deep to pull out a win over the<br />

weekend, and in the end the<br />

Pioneers made just enough plays<br />

to outlast Cape Ann League foe<br />

Triton in a 30-22 win in double<br />

overtime Saturday afternoon.<br />

“That was one of the wildest<br />

finishes and one of the most<br />

memorable games I’ve had in<br />

my time as a head coach,” said<br />

Lynnfield coach Pat Lamusta.<br />

“There were just so many<br />

50-50 plays and so many close<br />

moments, and our guys just<br />

stepped up in the big moments<br />

and really earned this win. I really<br />

have to take my hat off to<br />

(coach) Ryan McCarthy and the<br />

Triton football team, because<br />

they’ve improved a lot and<br />

they battled us until the final<br />

second.”<br />

Running back DJ Capachietti<br />

rushed for 40 yards and two<br />

touchdowns in the win, while<br />

quarterback Austin Sutera<br />

completed 13-of-20 passes<br />

for 145 yards and two touchdowns<br />

while also adding 54<br />

rushing yards. Receivers Bakari<br />

Mitchell (five receptions for<br />

43 yards) and Jack Ford (four<br />

receptions for 50 yards) each<br />

caught one touchdown in the<br />

win, while Blake Peters added<br />

three receptions for 34 yards.<br />

With his touchdown catch,<br />

Ford now moves into fifth place<br />

on the all-time scoring list for<br />

Lynnfield High School football<br />

with 181 points — passing<br />

Eric Hansen (Class of 1978).<br />

He’s now one point behind<br />

Gino Cohee (Class of 2010) for<br />

fourth place.<br />

It was Triton who struck first,<br />

taking a 7-0 lead on a touchdown<br />

pass from Kyle Odoy<br />

to Jared Leonard in the first<br />

quarter. Lynnfield answered<br />

back with a two-yard touchdown<br />

run from Capachietti in<br />

the second quarter, but then<br />

Triton marched 76 yards the<br />

other way to take a 14-6 lead —<br />

a score that held until the fourth<br />

quarter.<br />

Then the fireworks started.<br />

After making a critical stop<br />

in the red zone on the defensive<br />

end, Lynnfield came right back<br />

and scored with 30 seconds<br />

remaining on Capachietti’s<br />

second touchdown run of the<br />

game. After Sutera found Ford<br />

for the two-point conversion,<br />

the score was tied 14-14 and the<br />

game went to overtime.<br />

On the first overtime possession,<br />

Lynnfield struck first<br />

when Sutera connected with<br />

Ford on a 21-yard touchdown<br />

pass. Sutera then found Peters<br />

on the two-point conversion,<br />

which made it 22-14 Pioneers.<br />

But Triton wasn’t done. For<br />

the second time in the game,<br />

Odoy hooked up with Leonard<br />

for a touchdown on fourth down<br />

to keep the game alive. The two<br />

connected again on the twopoint<br />

play, and it was time for a<br />

second overtime with the score<br />

tied at 22-22.<br />

Once again, Lynnfield responded.<br />

This time, Sutera<br />

found Mitchell on a three-yard<br />

touchdown pass, and after a<br />

two-point connection between<br />

Sutera and Peters, it was 30-22<br />

Lynnfield.<br />

The defense stepped up from<br />

there, coming up with four critical<br />

stops to keep Triton out<br />

of the end zone and secure the<br />

victory.<br />

Lynnfield (5-1) wraps up<br />

its season Friday afternoon<br />

(4:30) on the road at rival North<br />

Reading.<br />

“It’s a big game, especially<br />

for the seniors,” said Lamusta.<br />

“The guys really want to go<br />

out with a big win over North<br />

Reading, because in their time<br />

here the Thanksgiving Day<br />

game hasn’t gone how we’ve<br />

wanted. We want to take back<br />

the rivalry, and these guys are<br />

going to hit it hard in practice<br />

this week to get ready for<br />

Friday.”<br />

North Shore Stars win two<br />

Valley Hockey League titles<br />

The Lynnfield/Saugus Youth<br />

Hockey League’s North Shore<br />

Stars captured two Valley Hockey<br />

League Championships over<br />

the weekend at Valley Forum in<br />

Haverhill, with the Mite 1 team defeating<br />

Winchester 5-4 and the Mite<br />

3 team beating Wakefield 2-1. Both<br />

games were decided in exciting<br />

overtime periods.<br />

In the Mite 3 victory, Michael<br />

Raposo scored the game winner<br />

after collecting a rebound of a Kyle<br />

McNaught shot and beating the<br />

goaltender just 21 seconds into the<br />

extra session. McNaught outmuscled<br />

two Wakefield players in the<br />

corner to dig out the puck and put it<br />

on net, setting the stage for Raposo’s<br />

heroics.<br />

Earlier in the game, McNaught<br />

put the Stars ahead 1-0 on a pinpoint<br />

top shelf shot past the Wakefield<br />

goalie late in the first period. Luke<br />

Provenzano set the play in motion<br />

with a nice cross-ice feed. Billy<br />

Lauziere was outstanding in net<br />

for the Stars, stopping 25 shots in<br />

Pictureworksexpress.com<br />

the victory. The team finished the<br />

season 21-5-1 and led their division<br />

from start to finish.<br />

The Mite 1 victory was a backand-forth<br />

affair, with both teams<br />

holding leads at different points<br />

of the final period before Luca<br />

DePalma scored off a great feed<br />

from Nico Bello to take home the<br />

victory. The winning play was set<br />

in motion following a great save<br />

from goalie Joey Ryan, when Bello<br />

collected the rebound and led the<br />

rush up ice to create a 3-on-1 for the<br />

Stars.<br />

DePalma also scored a goal<br />

during regulation, while Max<br />

Pedersen collected a hat trick. Ryan<br />

was stellar in net, holding the fort in<br />

the extra session while under relentless<br />

pressure from Winchester. The<br />

Mite 1 team ended the season with<br />

a 22-2-3 record and like the Mite 3’s<br />

led their division wire-to-wire. They<br />

finished with the best record of any<br />

division champion out of 152 Mite<br />

teams in the Valley Hockey League.<br />

Complete guide to spring produce recipes<br />

With spring upon us, we look<br />

forward to longer days, warmer<br />

weather, and a time to experience<br />

renewal and a fresh sense<br />

of “life” all around us, which is<br />

much-needed right now.<br />

During this season of rejuvenation,<br />

it’s an opportune time<br />

to allow fresh, healthy spring<br />

foods to crowd out unhealthy<br />

food and habits and let the<br />

brightness lift us up.<br />

I always love and appreciate<br />

fresh spring produce after<br />

months of heavier winter meals.<br />

Now’s the time for colorful, flavor-packed<br />

produce — strawberries,<br />

asparagus, greens, and<br />

much more to brighten up your<br />

meals. Eating seasonally is a<br />

great way to get the freshest,<br />

most flavorful produce while<br />

saving money too, as in-season<br />

produce is always cheaper.<br />

Now, what do you do with<br />

these fresh finds? Put all of<br />

these festive fruits and vegetables<br />

to work.<br />

To help you, I’ve created<br />

a guide with the top seasonal<br />

spring fruits and vegetables, tips<br />

on how to use them, and easy,<br />

healthy recipes to make with<br />

each one. Make the most of<br />

the selections at your farmer’s<br />

market, grocery store, or garden<br />

with this complete guide.<br />

Strawberries<br />

Strawberries don’t need much<br />

of an introduction. These sweet<br />

gems are the early birds of berries,<br />

showing up at the start of<br />

the spring season. And, did you<br />

know strawberries are among<br />

the top five sources of antioxidant-rich<br />

fruit in the U.S? Plus,<br />

the polyphenols support our<br />

immune systems, and one small<br />

cup will get you enough vitamin<br />

C for the whole day.<br />

Tip: To store, place in a<br />

single-layers between paper-towels<br />

in a container in the<br />

fridge. Also, I love stuffing a<br />

strawberry with a piece of dark<br />

chocolate for a healthy dessert.<br />

These gems are my favorite.<br />

Asparagus<br />

Even though it’s available<br />

all year, asparagus is most delicious<br />

when enjoyed in the<br />

spring, and is full of fiber, folate,<br />

vitamin K, copper, and thiamin.<br />

While it’s generally recognized<br />

in its green version, it<br />

comes in four varieties: green,<br />

white, purple and wild. Purple<br />

is the most tender and sweet,<br />

while wild asparagus are the<br />

thinnest. They are delicate and<br />

crunchy and can be cooked in<br />

a variety of ways — grilled,<br />

steamed, or roasted. Roasting<br />

asparagus (and all kinds of<br />

other vegetables) brings out its<br />

natural sweetness.<br />

Tip: Break the asparagus<br />

spear in half. Where it naturally<br />

breaks is just right, and discard<br />

the end of the spear.<br />

and https://<br />

Radishes<br />

Raw radishes add a sweet and<br />

spicy crunch to salads, tacos,<br />

and burgers. When cooked,<br />

they have a more savory flavor<br />

and less spice. They’re a highfiber<br />

snack and are also high in<br />

vitamin C, which makes them<br />

even more appealing if you’re<br />

not a fan of citrus.<br />

They are also detoxifiers:<br />

great at removing waste and<br />

toxins, a natural diuretic and<br />

help treat urinary and kidney<br />

conditions, not to mention help<br />

fight cancer and hydrate your<br />

skin. P.S. watermelon radishes<br />

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS THIS WEEK<br />

are extra beautiful.<br />

Tip: Radishes store well. Just<br />

remove the greens, dry thoroughly<br />

and store in an airtight<br />

container in the fridge. They<br />

can be sliced or kept whole for<br />

crudite, julienned for salads, or<br />

thinly sliced for baking.<br />

Scallions and Leeks<br />

Leeks are milder than onions<br />

and have such a pleasant taste<br />

and aroma and are great sautéed<br />

or braised. They do get pretty<br />

dirty, so make sure you soak<br />

them and clean them well.<br />

Onions are a year-round crop,<br />

but spring onions are best in<br />

the earlier months — the ones<br />

with long green stems and white<br />

bulbs that are just barely thicker<br />

than the ends of the stems.<br />

They’re pretty mild, and they’re<br />

especially great for people<br />

with a FODMAPs sensitivity,<br />

because most can still eat the<br />

green stems even if they can’t<br />

eat the white bulbs.<br />

Tip: Grow scallions on your<br />

counter by placing the root<br />

end in a small glass with water<br />

and watch it regrow! (This can<br />

also be done with romaine and<br />

celery, too).<br />

Apricots<br />

You can get apricots at any<br />

time of year, but for the best<br />

fresh ones you’ll want to grab<br />

them now. In the late spring<br />

and early summer, apricots are<br />

at their sweetest and most flavorful,<br />

so take advantage.<br />

Tip: Dice apricots and make<br />

a fresh salsa to spoon onto fish;<br />

or grill apricot halves, fill with<br />

a small scoop of ice cream or<br />

frozen coconut whipped cream,<br />

and sprinkle with crushed<br />

roasted pecans.<br />
