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 />

LYNNFIELD — The Lynnfield<br />
Water District’s April 14 meeting saw<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 />

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 />
Queen on April 13.<br />

In the Centre since 1720, Centre<br />
Church is an open and affirming<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 />
they belong. The afternoon of human<br />
life must also have a significance<br />
of its own and cannot be<br />
merely a pitiful appendage to life’s<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 />

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 />
