A birthday bash for Olivia
By ElysE Carmosino
ITEM PHOTO | SPENSER HASAK
Olivia Bormann smiles as she’s surrounded by friends and family during a parade
and celebration of her 11th birthday on Saturday and her release from the
Spaulding Rehabilitation facility.
PEABODY — The Tanner
City banded together last
Saturday to show its unwavering
support for Olivia
Bormann with a one-of-a-kind
surprise birthday parade and
party held in the 11-year-old’s
honor.
Nearly 150 people, all dressed
in hot pink shirts bearing the
words “Team Olivia,” gathered
at Peabody’s West Memorial
Elementary School for an upbeat
fundraising event during
the morning, then made their
way, rolling-rally style, to
Olivia’s home where the partying
began.
“It feels great to have somewhat
of a normal day,” Olivia’s
father, Cheyne Bormann, said.
Council meetings reopen to public
By annE mariE ToBin
PEABODY — A giant
sense of relief.
That’s how Councilorat-Large
Anne Manning-
Martin feels about the City
Council’s decision to reopen
its meetings to the public beginning
May 13.
Residents have been
barred from attending
council meetings at the
Wiggin Auditorium since
the start of the pandemic.
But that’s about to change
after last Thursday night’s
unanimous vote.
Manning-Martin said she
has unsuccessfully pressed
the council to open City Hall
and then, meetings to the
public for months.
“My thought has always
been that when places like
Subway and CVS, whose
livelihoods depend on
staying open, could figure
it out in 24 hours and safely
accommodate the public, we
could also figure it out, but
we didn’t want to have those
discussions,” she said.
“We are all so trained now
and know what to expect
everywhere we go. I feel we
could have been discussing
this all along. I do feel that
some people have been denied
their opportunity to be
heard, so I look forward to
finally bringing them back
to having their due process
and having their voices
heard. Knowing that will be
happening soon is a giant
sense of relief.”
Ward 5 Councilor Joel
Saslaw said he is “ecstatic
to see the public welcomed
back to City Council
OLIVIA, PAGE 3
meetings.”
Council President Mark
O’Neill outlined the safety
protocols, starting with
mandatory mask wearing.
Social distancing of six feet
must be observed. Hand
sanitizer will be available.
Microphones will be sanitized
after each use. The
majority of seating will be
in the upper balcony with
accommodations made for
those who cannot access that
area.

Mobile
shooting
range OK’d
By sTEvE KrausE
PEABODY — The Zoning Board of
Appeals has voted unanimously to grant
a variance to Northeast Arms LLC to
place a portable shooting range on its
property whose overall area precluded
its staying within its designated buffer
area.
The required buffer on the left side
yard was 100 feet, and Northeast was
asking for 70; and 50 feet in the rear
yard, whereas the company proposed 28
feet.
Despite strong objections from the
abutters of the area, many of whose
complaints exceeded the ZBA’s authority
to rectify them, the request was
granted Monday night with five conditions:
that its hours extend from only 10
a.m. to 9 p.m., from Tuesday through
Saturday; that the doors of the structure
remain closed while any gun-shooting
was taking place; that the area on the
property where the mobile trailer sat be
clearly marked off; that any refrigeration
and heating units be shut off when
the facility is not in use; and that a seven-foot
vinyl fence be erected around
the facility as a way to further muffle
sound.

Council meetings reopen to public on May 13
COUNCIL
FROM PAGE 1
During a Committee
of the Whole meeting
preceding the council
meeting, the issue was discussed
at length.
O’Neill said the reopening
logistics need to
be refined.
“We don’t want a wild,
wild west situation,” he
said. “Safety is our priority
and we want to make sure
that everyone goes home
in the same condition they
were when they came in.
Ultimately, we need to
make sure we don’t have
people wandering around
and not social distancing.”
Other councilors shared
similar concerns.
Ward 2 Councilor Peter
McGinn questioned
whether attendees should
be allowed to speak from
their seats.
“I have questions about
seats being set apart and
restricted as we need
to make sure everyone
knows the rules and follows
them,” McGinn said.
Manning-Martin had
concerns over Americans
with Disabilities Act
(ADA) and open meeting
law compliance.
“The elevators don’t go
up to the balcony level,
so If we have members
of the public seated in the
balcony, there could be
ADA compliance issues,”
she said. “Also once Gov.
(Charlie) Baker’s executive
order is rescinded,
we will have to have a
quorum in the Wiggin or it
will be a violation of open
meeting. That said, I am
all in favor of allowing the
public into our meetings.
It’s long overdue. We can
figure it out.”
Following a request for
clarification on what will
happen when Baker lifts
the emergency order, City
Clerk Allyson Danforth
said, “as soon as the governor’s
order expires, you
won’t have the option for
Zoom. There is a movement
afoot to change that
so Zoom is still an option,
but that has not happened
yet.”
Saslaw asked whether
the council will now revert
to having only one hearing
on special permit applications
(due to concerns
over the public’s right to
be heard, the council presently
spreads hearings
over two meetings).
“If a councilor cannot
participate, there will
be a second meeting,”
O’Neill said. “My concern
is the applicant has a full
hearing, but if all are not in
the building or attending
by Zoom, I would think
that there would be just
one hearing. My concern
is that applicants have due
process.”
Manning-Martin said
she believes members of
the public will observe all
safety protocols.
“After 14 months, we
are all conditioned to restricted
behavior,” she
said. “So we don’t need
to get bogged down in
micromanagement. I trust
that City Hall will keep
everyone safe.”
Saslaw said that there is
no substitute for in-person
public participation.
“We’ll see where Zoom
meetings end up in the
process, but there is something
about hearing directly
from the public in
the same room. There is
no replacement for that.”
Mobile shooting range gets the OK
RANGE

Prior to the discussion on
the subject, ZBA secretary
Dan Sencabaugh summed
up a number of letters
from abutters, saying “reasons
for opposition are
as follows: depreciation
of property values, noise,
buffer zones shouldn’t
be infringed upon, safety
and traffic concerns, not
enough information provided,
health and safety.
“Just about everyone
spoke of noise being the
real reason for the opposition,”
Sencabaugh
said. “That and health and
safety. We were receiving
letters up until today.”
However, Chair Fran
Bisazza Gallugi said that
the board had little jurisdiction
to rule on the majority
of the complaints.

“We are here,” she said,
“only to provide dimensional
relief.”
At least one abutter said
that wasn’t made clear
to residential dwellers in
nearby neighborhoods
such as Huntington Wood
through the many months
the issue had been before
the board.
“It would have been
much appreciated if you
gave us the information
earlier that you were only
going to deal with dimensional
relief,” said Peg
O’Mara. “We could have
found other ways to register
our objections. We
could have hired a lawyer.”
Attorney John Keilty,
representing Northeast
Arms, agreed to all the
conditions. He said the
positioning of the trailer
came down to the ability
for rescue equipment to
negotiate what could have
been an impossibly tight
squeeze had it been placed

anywhere else on the property.
He also said that while
the trailer would stay on the
grounds for 80 to 90 percent
of the time, it would
be able to drive to nearby
police stations to assist in
officers’ firearms training.
It would also help citizens
learn how to use firearms
safely as well. Keilty said
that none of the guns were
loud enough to create significant
decibel issues, and
that no automatic weapons
would be allowed aside
from the semi-automatics
used by law enforcement
personnel.
“In my opinion, this is
something we could all
benefit from in the long
run,” saidi Gallugi. “I
think it’s needed. And at
this point in time, I see no
reason not to approve it.”
Echoing her was ZBA
member Barry Osborne.
“There are noise ordinances
that will be enforced,”
he said. “It’s not
the ZBA’s job to regulate
that. If the fire department
said its trucks couldn’t get
around it, then we wouldn’t
permit it. If the fire department
says that’s where you
have to put the building,
that’s where you put it.
“If we’re going to start
limiting businesses on
Route 1, we’re in for a
world of hurt,” he said.
“Police departments are
striving to get better. How
can we take that resource
away from them?
“There will be enough
enforcement up there to
make sure (Northeast) does
it right,” he said. “If you
start driving businesses
out, watch your residential
rates go up. And that leads
you to trouble.”
Ward 5 City Councilor
Joel Saslaw urged the
ZBA to delay voting on the
matter until more information
could be obtained.
“This hearing has been
going on for months,”
Saslaw said. “I would remind
the board that the
people asked for information
a while ago. What kind
of heating? How were they
going to cool it? What kind
of noise would you hear?
When we had the Big Pig
Barbeque come in, they
worried about smoke, and
passage was delayed until
(the city) could find out.
“There should be no rush
here,” said Saslaw. “I support
the residents. I oppose
this.”
Ed Colbert also urged the
board not to grant the variance,
saying that Keilty
had not provided many of
the specifications he and
other opponents sought.
“I dispute the argument
that there will be room
for fire equipment to get
past there,” said Colbert,
whereupon Gallugi quickly
responded that she’d been
to the site and talked to the
fire chief and was assured
it was possible.
“Diagrams are fine when
you have 100 acres of land
and there’s nothing to see,”
Colbert said. “But if you’re
going to vote on a trailer
you’ve never seen the specifications
on, and you don’t
know how close that trailer
is going to be to someone’s
back yard … I’m going to
ask the board to vote no.
Decline this.”

Members of the Crystal Joyce Dance Academy perform during Olivia Bormann’s birthday celebration
on Saturday.
A birthday bash for Olivia
OLIVIA
FROM PAGE 1
“The last few months have
been a cycle of work, hospital,
home, work, hospital, home, so
it’s amazing to see all the support
for Olivia.”
Since Feb. 23, when doctors
discovered that a hematoma
— a normally benign bruise
— was pressing against her
spine, paralyzing her, Bormann
has worked hard at Spaulding
Rehabilitation Hospital in
Boston to regain the ability
to walk. She was discharged
Friday — two months to the day
she was rushed to Children’s
Hospital for emergency surgery.
The festivities included a
professional balloon artist, a
raffle for four premium tickets
to Fenway Park donated by the
Red Sox Foundation for any
game of the 2021 season, as
well as plenty of cotton candy,
popcorn, and snacks, nearly all
of which were donated by local
businesses. The party included a
performance by Olivia’s Crystal
Joyce Academy dance team. DJ
Dane Leveton of LEVITATE,
perched on top of a Gloucester
Fire Department high-water
truck, provided music.
As she and her daughter,
Bella Gosselin, 9, painted their
car with a message to Olivia in
large white letters, Deb Pursell
said: “We’re here for Olivia, of
course. We’re to celebrate her
birthday and support her.”
Camdyn Driscoll, 10, alongside
friends Micayla Creamer,
11, and Guiliana Constantino,
10, recalled the day Olivia was
admitted to the hospital.
“I’ve known Olivia practically
my whole life,” Driscoll
said. “It was such a surprise. I
woke up like normal and they
told me (she’d been admitted)
and I was so sad, but I’m happy
she’s out and feeling better.”
Captain Scott Richards provided
a police escort, leading
a caravan of nearly 90 vehicles
— many brightly decorated and
shooting confetti cannons.
The cavalcade also included
a Salem Trolley car full of
“VIP” (Oivia’s friends), along
with multiple fire and police
vehicles, a colorful golf cart
and ambulance. The parade’s
final stop was at the Bormann’s
Winona Street home where
Olvia’s parents, Michele and
Cheyne, younger sister, Stella,
7, and dozens of friends and
family members — along with
a flock of pink flamingos from
MarketStreet — enthusiastically
greeted supporters.
“We’ve had so many inquiries
about the flamingos so
when Michele (Olivia’s mother)
reached out to us, of course
we wanted to be involved,”
Senior Manager of Activations
and Partnerships for WS
Development/Seaport Emily
Soukas said. “We knew that the
flamingos had to migrate here
from Lynnfield for Olivia and
it was an honor to be a part of
such a wonderful day.”
Event organizer and family
friend Jamie Santos said fundraising
efforts have already
reached $30,000, adding he
hoped Saturday’s event would
raise another $5,000 to $10,000.
“The city and businesses
have been incredible, the donations
have poured in like crazy,”
he said. “I can’t thank everyone
enough — the 100 families who
volunteered, the police and fire
departments — the way everyone
came out today to help
this family is amazing.”
All proceeds will go to the
Bormann family to help them
pay off massive expenses that
have accumulated in the wake
of Olivia’s hospitalization.
“Her family has to modify
their house. They have to build
ramps, they have to change
bathrooms and doorways to be
handicap accessible,” Santos
said. “This is stuff that’s not
covered by insurance. This
family is maxed out.”
To make a donation to the
family, go to Facebook.com/
SupportingOlivia, or use Venmo
at OLIVIA-BORMANNFUND.
Also, checks can be written
to Jamie Santos/Supporting
Olivia.
“The ultimate goal is to get
Olivia walking again,” Santos
said. “We’re hoping and praying
that one day she’ll be healed
enough where she’ll regain that
ability. She’s a trooper.”
Olivia spent much of the day
beaming, taking in all of the
action wide-eyed as she reconnected
with friends she had not
seen since February.
When asked if she was surprised
at the outpouring of love
and support, she repeated the
same word over and over with
a larger-than life smile: “Yes!”
Her sister, Stella, said her favorite
part of the day was riding
the trolley, saying, “that was so
much fun.”
“We can’t thank everyone
enough for all this,” Michele
Bormann said. “Olivia is doing
great.”

Author catching up after a late start
By Steve KrauSe
PEABODY — E.J. Gandolfo
is in the prolific stage of her literary
life, which might seem unusual
considering she didn't start
writing until she was 74.
Now, three years later, she
can't stop.
She recently released the
fourth book of her Veronica Howard
Vintage Mysteries series, this
one entitled "Tasting Death." To
say it's been a long journey for
her doesn't begin to tell the story.
Her only writing prior to becoming
an author was in advertising
and public relations, writing
TV commercials and copy for
newspaper ads.
"I never thought I would write
a book," she says.
That was early in her life. Her
"middle period," as it were, consisted
of the 32 years she spent
as an antique dealer. But it got
to the point where the economy
couldn't support that, either.
So she circled back to her earlier
profession, this time writing
fiction instead of ad copy. And
what she found was that writing,
like a lot of things, requires discipline.
"You need the discipline, and
you need the time," Gandolfo
said.
She also learned that inspiration
doesn't always come when
you want it to. It comes when it
comes.
"If you have an idea for a story,
and you outline it, that's fine,"
she said. "But you still have to
flesh it in, and that doesn't always
come when you want it to."
She indicated that the way that
worked best for her was to let the
ideas come when they may.
"Sometimes, flying by the seat
of your pants is the way you can
create," Gandolfo said. "It gives
you the juices so you can keep
going."
To anyone who might want to
start writing novels, she provides
one bit of caution: "This is a very
tough way to make a buck."
"Tasting Death" is the fourth
in what Gandolfo thought would
be a trilogy — with No. 5 in the
making, too. She wrote "Tasting
Death" as homage to her grandfather,
who was in the food business.
At the time he died — when
Gandolfo's father was 2 years
old — he owned the largest import-export
store in the North
End of Boston.
"I'd have loved to have met
him," she says. "My father's
whole family was in the food
business. They worked very hard.
They were up at 4 every morning,
and put in long days."
She uses all of her environmental
influences in her books.
For example, "Tasting Death"
concerns organized crime infiltrating
her fictional North Shore
town of Bromfield in the 1980s to
distribute drugs "in an ingenious
manner," which has something

to do with the food business (she
won't say what).
"Bromfield," she says, "is a
PEABODY — Parents and
caregivers of children 3-8
years old are invited to a free
mental health workshop with
Jeanine Fitzgerald, May 13, 7
p.m. at Olio, 43 Main St., or
virtually on Zoom.
Contrary to popular belief,
mental health is not treating the
symptoms of a disorder or disease.
Mental health structures
the conditions of an environment
for optimal functioning.
The conditions to be structured
include creating a repertoire
of effective strategies
that meet the authentic needs
of children, cultivating enduring
relationships, transforming
environments so they embrace
full inclusion, and increasing
competence through effective
educational programming.
Fitzgerald has more than 35
years of professional experience
in empowering teachers
and parents to achieve more
with “at-risk” children. With
experience as a certified teacher,
mental health professional
and mother of three grown
children, she understands the
promise of every child, as well
as the diversity of their needs.
Pre-registration is required.
Register at: https://nsjcc.org/
event/mentalhealthworkshop2/.
In-person space is limited.
Masks and social distancing
are required to attend in-person.
For more than 36 years, the
North Suburban Jewish Community
Center (NSJCC) has
combination of several North
Shore towns, like Lynnfield,
Marblehead and Peabody. This
all takes place on fishing boats,
and there are references to Beverly
Airport."
The book's heroes — Veronica
Howard and Harry Hunt —
are undercover FBI agents who
appear in all the books. The couple
lives in Boston, but Veronica
has a store in Bromfield that sells
antiques.
"All the stories involve antiques,
vintage clothing, antique
jewelry," Gandolfo said. "That's
my marketing niche for writing
books.
"You have to find what nobody
else has written about," she
said. "There are 10,000 books a
week printed in the United States.
Probably more than that, but
that's the figure they throw out.
Most of them are self-published,
as are mine. I had an agent look
at my stuff, and had a couple of
publishers who rejected me. They
told me to come back in five
years. I was 74. I didn't have five
years."
Lest anybody think self-publishing
is an inexpensive proposition,
think again.
"You have to set aside a
large chunk of money and time,
and you have to have computer
knowledge," she said. "That was
the hardest part for me. There
are no more galleys. In my day,
everything was galleys (proofed
pages). I'm an old-timer. That's
how we did it."
Early childhood mental health workshop
been known in the Greater Peabody
area as a center for Jewish
life and
community programs,
through its renowned Early
Childhood Program and its
many family and adult program
offerings. The NSJCC offers
infant, toddler, preschool

programs.
The NSJCC has provided
thousands of children with the
warm, nurturing care that gives

HOW THEY DO IT
COURTESY PHOTO | TARA SINGLETON
Classic Faces Day Spa is owned by Tara Singleton who implemented strict COVID-19 safety protocols to protect her employees and customers.
Giving her customers the classic treatment
By Tréa Lavery
PEABODY — Tara Singleton
has been coming to Classic
Faces Day Spa since she was
just out of high school. Her
visits inspired her to enter the
beauty industry, building a career
in skin care.
Last year, she bought the
business, bringing everything
full-circle.
“The stars just aligned,” Singleton
said.
No sooner had she finalized
her plans to update the space
that the COVID-19 pandemic
hit, shutting down the business
indefinitely. While she couldn’t
offer her typical services, Singleton
said that the timing was
oddly fortunate, as it gave her
the chance to completely renovate
the spa.
“It was sort of timely in a
weird sense,” Singleton said.
“We were able to take advantage
of the time while we were
shut down to really update the
place. We were able to have this
beautiful new space for when
the customers started coming
back.”
Classic Faces reopened in
July, with plenty of precautions
in place. They installed glass
barriers and an air scrubber that
purifies the air, and made sure
that they had plenty of personal
protective equipment on hand
to keep both their staff and customers
safe.
“We took a lot of training on
sanitation, on COVID-19 practices
and protocols,” Singleton
said. “Some of the services we

Felicia Trupiano.
PEABODY — J Barrett
& Company is pleased to announce
that Realtor Felicia
Trupiano, who has been at the
agency’s Gloucester office for
10 years, has been appointed
vice president.
“Achieving a professional
milestone like this is exciting
and I’m very proud of the accomplishment,
but what makes
it meaningful is that it demonstrates
I have been able to help
many clients achieve their
goals,” said Trupiano.
“At J Barrett, we consider
the title of vice president to be
an achievement — one that is
earned only by maintaining a
commitment to serve our clients’
best interests whether they
are first-time buyers, moving
up to forever homes or downsizing,”
said J Barrett President
Jon Gray.
Trupiano said service is at
the core of her philosophical
approach to real estate, from
advising sellers about how to
best prepare their home to attract
buyers and maximize sales
price, or helping buyers navigate
difficult competitive bidding
wars.
"What makes my job satisfying
is knowing that I’ve helped
my clients take that next step,
whatever is that next stage of
their lives," she said.
Gray said Trupiano's collaborative
approach enhances her
rate of success.
“She continuously demonstrates
her ability to be successful
on a long-term basis by
being mindful of what is happening
'now' as well as what
could happen, and then knowing
how to adjust to achieve her
clients’ goals," he said.
A longtime Rockport resident,
Trupiano is an active
partner in every aspect of the
family construction company,
which includes building custom
homes as well as remodeling
and renovating homes.
In conjunction with the business,
the Gloucester native is
also experienced in real estate
financing.
Established in January 2007,
J Barrett is a service-oriented
company that has quickly
become the premier privately-owned
real estate firm on the
North Shore.
The company serves the

do, the practitioners look like
they're going into space.”
Singleton said that the spa
has brought in more than 200
new customers since the summer,
so she is optimistic that
things are going well despite
people’s differing levels of
comfort with attending a spa
during the pandemic. Online,
too, their customers have been
incredibly supportive, sending
positive messages through social
media and emails even if
they’re not ready to come back

more COVID-19 restrictions
are lifted, they will begin offering

they are working on branching

Happy 100th, Thelma
Order Now for
Mother’s Day!
FOR THE WEEKLY NEWS
PEABODY — Taking a
cruise to Alaska is no small feat,
but Thelma Kropp Taylor did it
with ease, energy, and enthusiasm
— and at age 94.
Accompanied by her children
and grandchildren, Thelma
was constantly on the go,
urging the group to take every
train- and plane-side excursion
offered on the trip.
As her son Joe Kropp noted,
“She made sure we were busy
all day long. In truth, she wore
us out!”
Taylor, a resident of Harriett
and Ralph Kaplan Estates
Assisted Living, celebrated her
100th birthday in March. Born
in Manchester, N.H. on March
10, 1921, she met her husband,
Nathan Kropp, at the age of 26
at a cousin’s wedding.
It was love at first sight.
Proud parents of sons, Joseph
and Steven, the close-knit family
enjoyed sports, trips, and
restaurant outings.
Nathan passed away in
1959, only 11 years after he
and Thelma were married.
Thelma always valued education,
instilling the importance
of school and hard work in Joe
and Steven. Since both her sons
became lawyers, she obviously
taught them well. The three enjoyed
special family times and
bonded over their love of good
food.
Joe has fond memories of his
mom taking him and his brother,
Steven, out to dinner at such
beloved Manchester restaurants
as the Puritan and the 88.
Thelma remarried in 1967
to Martin Taylor. The family,
along with Martin’s son, Barry,
lived in Peabody where Thelma
was very active in the local
community. She worked at
Filene’s, and then Macy’s, well
into her 80s. Thelma enjoyed
traveling, most especially to
Europe.
At age 60, Thelma was widowed
for a second time, when
Martin passed away in 1978.
Thelma continued to raise her
three sons alone, leading a busy
and independent life. Thelma
lived in the same house on Alden
Road in Peabody for more
than 50 years.

to her good health and longevity,
Thelma was quick to point
out that she was born with
“good genes.”
All three of her siblings lived
well into their 90s. Thelma is
also a firm believer in exercise.
She drove several times a
week to Peabody Senior Center
for senior aerobics into her
90s. Given that she looks years
younger than her 100 years,
whatever she is doing is definitely
working.
Thelma was a popular figure
at Kaplan Estates even before
becoming a resident. She
attended Passover Seders for
many years. As a result, it was
an easy transition when she decided
to move into the assisted
living facility five years ago.
“Thelma is beloved by staff
and residents alike,” said Andrea
Hillel, executive director
of Kaplan Estates, which is
operated by Chelsea Jewish
Lifecare. “She is such a warm,
personable and caring individual.
It’s always such a pleasure
to see her involved in so many
activities. Thelma can often be
found (pre-COVID) attending
art and exercise classes, movies,
concerts and Bingo. Thelma
is quick to offer a kind word or
positive remark. In short, we all
adore her.”
Thelma’s family is pleased
she’s so happy living at Kaplan
Estates.
“She has made many new
friends,” said Joe Kropp. “My
brother and I know she is well
cared for, active, and happy.
That’s really important to us.
My mom is truly an amazing
woman. At age 95, she lived
alone, was extremely independent,
and still driving. Actually,
she was an exceptionally good
and safe driver."
Krop quoted his mother
as frequently commenting: “I
think my age is catching up with
me. Sometimes I even nap.”

highly respected leader in senior
living, employs more than
2,000 people and provides care

Peabody’s season
comes to an end
in loss at Danvers
By Daniel Kane
DANVERS — The Peabody
volleyball team didn’t close
out the season the way it had
hoped, falling 3-0 on the road
at Danvers Tuesday. Peabody
lost by set scores of 11-25,
21-25 and 17-25.
“I think we showed up a
little flat,” Peabody coach
Lisa Keene said. “The energy
just wasn’t there like it
had been in some of our earlier
games against teams like
Masconomet and Beverly.
There were some visible
nerves, I don’t know whether
that was because it was the
end of the season or vacation
week. We had some good moments
too, just too many unforced
errors.”
Krissy Cardello still had a
solid day at the service line
with seven service points and
four aces. Sarah Broughton
had four kills, while Abby
Bettencourt had eight assists
and a pair of blocks.
For Danvers, Tuesday
night’s Northeastern
Conference clash was the
second of a double header.
The Falcons had beaten
Swampscott 3-0 earlier in the
morning and looked right on
top of their game from the
jump against the Tanners.
Danvers jumped out to an
early 6-0 lead in the first set
and didn’t give an inch on
the defensive end. A timeout
midway through the set didn’t
help the Tanners settle down,
and they quickly fell behind
by as much as 20-6 before
falling into a 1-0 hole.

PEABODY — The Peabody
and Saugus football teams
ended the season with their annual
rivalry game Friday night
and it was the Tanners who
once again came out on top.
Peabody’s defense was unforgiving
in a 24-0 shutout at
Coley Lee Stadium.
“For a quarter and a half
Saugus showed that even if it’s
not Thanksgiving this rivalry
is still very strong,” Peabody
coach Mark Bettencourt said.
“They weren’t going to let us
roll over them.
“Our offense had a little
trouble getting the engine
started, Saugus’ defense was
aggressive. But once we figured
things out and made some adjustments
we got things going.”
Brandon Pszenny had a big
first half with four catches for
78 yards and one touchdown
while also adding an interception
on defense to help Peabody
get started.
Quarterback Shea Lynch
ended a great sophomore campaign
with another solid outing
completing 8-of-18 passes for
180 yards and one touchdown.
Kyle Maglione ran tough with
32 yards on six carries for two
touchdowns. Joseph Swanton
had one 24-yard field goal and
tacked on three extra points.
But the most consistent part
of the game for Peabody was
the defense, which added a pair
of picks from Pszenny and Jack
O’Hara. Shay-Wesley Palmer
was a force on the defensive line
with one sack and Maglione had
a big tackle for loss on a fourthand-inches
in the second half.
The Saugus offense was
powered almost exclusively by
senior captain Sal Franco who
totaled 73 yards on 16 carries.
Despite the loss, Saugus’ defensive
line, highlighted by Dougie
Clark, Dom Calder and Tre
Sanders, controlled the line of
scrimmage all night long.
Franco totaled 62 yards on
the ground in the first half but
key penalties left the Sachems
empty-handed drive after drive.
“Those first drives of the
game, we really needed something,”
Saugus coach Steve
Cummings said. “But we really
hurt ourselves with penalties.
When you’re trying to get four
or five yards a run the difference
a third-and-2 or 7 will kill
you. We needed to be a little bit
crisper. If you’re going to beat
good teams like Peabody you
can’t make those mistakes.”
Before long Pszenny kickstarted
the Tanners offense late
in the half. The senior caught a
pair of passes totaling 39 yards
and set up a 10-yard touchdown
run from Maglione to put
Peabody ahead, 7-0.
Pszenny continued his impact
on the defensive side, picking
off a pass on the next drive to set
up the Tanners around midfield.
Lynch followed with a 44-
yard quarterback keeper and
then found Pszenny in the
endzone on a slant route for a
4-yard touchdown pass to extend
the lead to 14-0.
Saugus faced a fourth-andinches
at their 20 to start the
second half and turned back to
Franco, but Maglione made a
nice tackle to set up Peabody in
prime position to start the third
quarter.
A few plays later Maglione
punched in his second 1-yard
score to put the Tanners up,
21-0.
Saugus’ offense struggled the
rest of the way and Swanton
booted his 24-yard field goal
midway through the fourth to
cap off the scoring.
Peabody ends the season
with five straight victories over
Northeastern Conference opponents
and 5-1 record overall.
The Tanners graduate 21
seniors.
“I think right when we got the
word in February our seniors
were out shoveling the field
so that shows you how determined
they’ve been as a group,”
Bettencourt said. “They almost
helped motivate us coaches this
season. They set the tone and
now hopefully, ending the year
with five straight wins heading
to the fall that will carry over
for our underclassmen too.”
Saugus finishes 2-5 on the
season and has 11 seniors
graduating.
“When I saw the fall guidelines
I didn’t think we’d play
this year,” Cummings said.
“But I’m thrilled we did and we
got all seven games in too. The
seniors probably didn’t have
the year they’d always planned
too but I couldn’t be more impressed
with how they handled
it.”

of his Crusaders career with three total touchdowns and two interceptions.
Fenwick ends perfect year
with rout over Pentucket
BY DANIEL KANE
The Bishop Fenwick football
team ended its season
Friday with a 41-7 win over
Pentucket.
Angel Martinez had a monster
day for the Crusaders
with a receiving touchdown
and two rushing touchdowns
along with a pair of interceptions.
Tucker Destino also
rushed for a pair of scores
and Chrys Wilson threw two
touchdowns. Jake Connelly
caught one touchdown in the
win.
“Angel was on full display
(Friday), that’s for
sure,” Fenwick coach Dave
Woods said. “We really tried
to spread the ball around to
everybody on offense and on
defense everyone pitched in
with plays as well. It’s a special
group of kids.”
Fenwick ends the season at
6-0 and graduates 17 seniors.
“It was tough at first with
a lot of things out of our
control, but once we got out
there the kids handled it just
like they always had,” Woods
said. “They did it for each
other. It’s a tight group and
there’s a lot of love. They did
all we could ask for.”
Fenwick track performs
well at CCL Invitational
BY MIKE ALONGI
The Bishop Fenwick track
team closed out the “Fall
Sports II” season on a solid
note over the weekend, competing
against their Catholic
Central League foes in the
annual CCL Invitational
Saturday afternoon at
Donaldson Stadium. The
Fenwick boys finished in
third place (52 points) and
the Fenwick girls finished
in fifth place (21 points).
Bishop Feehan won in both
the boys (121 points) and
girls (128 points) divisions.
The Fenwick boys got
a win from Ethan Tran in
the 200, who finished with
a personal-record time of
23.89 seconds. Tran also
finished second in the 100
with a personal-record time
of 11.82 seconds. Other
top performers for the
Crusaders were Matthew
Gerdenich in the 600 (third
place, 1:33.54), Wyatt Burr
in the one-mile (third place,
4:44.29), Max Corson in the
long jump (third place, personal-record
18-6 1/2) and
the 100 (fifth place, 12.06),
Tyler DeClerq in the 1000
(fourth place, 2:57.61) and
Max Gibbs in the shot put
(fifth place, 33-5).
The Fenwick girls got a
win from Julia Loescher,
who took first place in the
shot put with a distance of
32 feet. Also performing
well for the Crusaders were
Loescher in the 200 (fifth
place, personal-record 28.2),
Catherine Carter in the 600
(fourth place, 1:53.25) and
Samantha Sharp in the 55
hurdles (fourth place, personal-record
10.44).
Peabody volleyball’s
season comes to a
close at Danvers
VOLLEYBALL
FROM PAGE 10
Peabody started to look like
itself again in the second set,
grabbing an early 2-0 lead.
But Danvers didn’t stay far
behind, grabbing a slim 7-6
lead itself soon after.
That’s when Peabody had
one of its best stretches of
the night. A pair of aces from
Cardello and another ace by
Lauryn Mendonca helped put
the Tanners ahead 15-9 before
a Danvers timeout.
Unfortunately for Peabody,
the timeout was what Danvers
needed and the Falcons went
on a 9-3 run to tie things up at
18-18.
Another ace from Cardello
gave Peabody a late 21-20
lead, but Danvers responded
with five straight points to go
up 2-0.
The third set continued
where the second left off, with
five ties and a pair of lead
changes in the early going,
leading to a 9-9 tie. Danvers
started to pull away from there
and never led by less than five
on its way to another win.
For the Tanners, the season
ends at 9-4 with eight seniors
— Maggie Bena,
Maggie Brennan, Maria
Chouinard, Destinee Callisto,
Sophia Hollingshed, Thelma
Hollingshed (scorekeeper),
Lily Ryan and Sam Silva
— graduating.
But with plenty of talented
young players, Peabody already
has its sights set on the
fall.
“With everything that went
on, I’m so happy we got to
have a season and I know
every coach feels that way,”
Keene said. “After losing
(Tuesday), we wish we still
had something to look to like
a tournament. But we were already
talking on the bus about
how next year is coming soon.
We’re ready.”

En garde! Busy Prep
senior loves fencing
By AllyshA DunnigAn
PEABODY — St. John’s
Prep senior Thomas Ligh is
busy from early mornings
until late evening juggling
school work, science-fiction
and sci-tech club projects, the
anime club and National Honor
Society.
In the mornings, concert band
practice demands the Peabody
resident’s time as a saxophonist
who has played since the fifth
grade.
He is also involved in his
school’s Eagles Wings Leaders
and Spire Society, where he
volunteers for orientations for
prospective students, incoming
freshmen and hosts campus
events.
WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 13
Ligh juggles his share of athletics,
including track, basketball,
baseball, soccer — he also
loves fencing.
When his older brother, Jack,
began fencing at the Prep in
an effort to try something new,
Ligh, at the age of 10, picked up
a foil at a local club — Tanner
City Fencers.
He continued to fence into
high school where he now participates
in tournaments and
holds a winning record as a
team captain.
Prep fencing has won 11 of
the last 15 state titles, and Ligh
— who is 6-foot, 4-inches-tall
— owns a 50-23 high school
career record.
Sports aren’t the only highlight
of Ligh’s high school experience.
He is also a member
of two student leadership societies
at the Prep, including
the Multicultural Affairs and
Community Development
Office.
As for the future, Ligh
is thinking about attending
Northeastern University, which
has a club fencing team, and he
says he will continue fencing as
he continues his education.
“I will most likely continue
fencing in college,” he said.
“Fencing is definitely one of my
passions.”
He said he is happy he attended
the Prep and said the
school was the perfect choice
for him.
