for Memorial Day. 

PEABODY — The city 

kicked off its 2021 Memorial 

Day observances last Saturday 

with the annual flagging 

of veterans’ graves at city 

cemeteries. 

Placing American flags on 

the graves is a long-standing 

tradition to preserve and honor 

the memory of deceased veterans 

who have served their 

country honorably. American 

flags are placed on the left side 

of veterans’ graves in respect 

of their dignity.

It’s waste not want not on this farm 

By Tréa Lavery 

PEABODY — Tucked behind 

the homes and businesses 

on a busy Lynn Street lie two 

acres of ground that feed people 

throughout the community. 

These two acres are tended by 

the volunteers that run Newhall 

Fields Community Farm 

(NFCF), a nonprofit that focuses 

on environmental education and 

addressing food insecurity. 

“We’re really grateful to 

have the opportunity to grow 

highly-nutritious food using organic 

agricultural practices for 

and with our community,” said 

Jeannette McGinn, NFCF’s 

director and board president. 

“And at the same time, we can 

have people come enjoy this 

great space, because it’s for 

everybody.”

PEABODY — The next step in the 

city’s North River Resiliency, Canal Wall, 

and Riverwalk Project takes place tonight 

from 6:30-7:30 p.m. with a virtual discussion 

on the project’s progress. 

Mayor Edward Bettencourt Jr., Assistant 

Director of Planning Brendan Callahan, 

and Weston and Sampson Engineers, Inc. 

will present a brief project recap, an update 

on the overall site plans, the design 

of 24 Caller St., and next steps. 

More information on the meeting is available 

at tinyurl.com/RiverwalkWebinar2. 

Following the presentation, residents 

will have an opportunity to participate in 

a question-and-answer segment with planners 

so that the park can better reflect the 

interests of the community. 

The presentation has been long in 

the making after the city was awarded 

its first Municipal Vulnerability 

Preparedness (MVP) Action Grant by 

the Massachusetts Executive Office of 

Energy & Environmental Affairs (EEA).

efforts at Newhall Fields Community Garden in Peabody. 

It’s waste not want not on this farm 

FARM 

FROM PAGE 1 

The farm is part of a 17- 

acre property originally owned 

and operated by the Newhall 

family for more than 100 years; 

in 2007, it was sold to the city. 

Now, the property is home to 

both Tillie’s Farm Stand and 

NFCF — which leases its portion 

of the land — and conservation 

land. 

NCFC began in 2017 when 

the city took full management 

of the land, looking for community 

uses. McGinn and other 

community members got involved, 

attending meetings in 

cafes and the library to discuss 

how best to use the land. Along 

with NFCF’s herbalist and 

board member Rebecca Ingalls, 

they came up with the idea for 

an herb garden to support community 

education, and the city 

granted them a small plot on the 

property to start it. 

In 2019, NFCF was founded 

as a nonprofit, and that year, 

they expanded their plot to plant 

vegetables. The first year, they 

were able to harvest more than 

2,000 pounds of food with the 

help of more than 300 volunteers. 

Around 80 percent of the 

food harvested at the farm is donated 

to the Haven from Hunger 

food pantry at Peabody’s 

Citizens Inn.

explained that the farm uses all 

organic practices to grow its 

crops, which means that they 

use no pesticides or chemicals. 

“Organic is a very principled 

way of farming that involves 

working with nature and not 

trying to trick or outsmart her,” 

Kiefer said. 

That means that they use 

special tarps to keep out bugs, 

bring in compost for fertilizer 

and even use spent grain — donated 

by brewers at the nearby 

Granite Coast Brewing — as 

mulch to keep moisture in the 

soil. They also use cover crops 

like winter rye to keep nutrients 

in the soil and prevent erosion 

during the cold months, and are 

working toward a no-till model 

where seeds are sown directly 

on top of the remains of the 

cover crops. 

All of that work is done by 

the farm’s volunteers. Some 

of those workers come from 

community programs, like 

YouthBuild at North Shore 

Community Development 

Coalition, and others are just 

interested neighbors. While the 

volunteer workforce dropped 

significantly during the 

COVID-19 pandemic, McGinn 

said, they also began a program 

for high-school students 

who volunteer at the farm on 

Saturdays. 

“The first group that signed 

up re-signed up in the spring. 

They created their own cohort,” 

“Thanks to Adult 

Foster Care of the 

North Shore, mom 

and I share a full 

life together.”

“Thanks to Adult Foster 

Care of the North Shore, 

mom and I share a

Terry, Caregiver to 

Mother Delores 

McGinn said. “They had this 

common interest in the farm 

and a desire to learn.” 

More of the farm’s staff, even 

those who weren’t normally as 

hands-on, got involved, too. 

Emily Cooper, NFCF’s community 

outreach and special 

events coordinator, said that she 

learned a lot from getting closer 

to the soil out of necessity, and 

social media manager Daybar 

Bugler said that working on 

the farm helped her realize how 

beneficial it was for her and 

others’ mental health. 

“With everything going on 

in 2020, it became clear how 

important it was,” Bugler 

said. “This is a wellness zone. 

Getting my hands in the dirt 

with people was so helpful.” 

The farm is starting to see 

greens come up, including 

garlic, onions, lettuce, peas, 

cabbage and plenty of herbs. 

Their outreach programs are 

blooming, too: The farm was 

just certified to accept SNAP, 

they are expanding into the 

wholesale market for their 

products and this year, for the 

first time, they will be selling 

produce at Tillie’s Farm Stand. 

“We want this food to be 

going to people who need it, 

and who wouldn’t otherwise 

be eating fresh, nutrient-rich 

food,” Kiefer said.

That grant allowed the city to 

start phase I of the project which 

involved exploring options to 

improve the flood resiliency 

within the North River Corridor, 

address site contamination from 

historic use as a tannery district 

and evaluate an open space resource 

and Riverwalk that will 

enhance public access and vitality 

of the area. 

In 2019, additional MVP 

funding was awarded and development 

began along with 

permitting the preliminary design 

concepts of the south bank 

stabilization and Riverwalk of 

the Resilient North River Canal 

Corridor. 

Phase II has included the 

preparation of plans for the

strategy for soil management 

and compliance under the MCP, 

and other services to support the

FLAGS 

FROM PAGE 1 

“It’s an extremely solemn, but 

nonetheless gratifying day to 

see so many veterans come out 

and honor their fellow veterans 

year after year,” said Peabody 

Veterans Services Director 

Steve Patten. “All these deceased 

veterans who gave service 

to their country and died 

want to be remembered and 

appreciated. To see our aging 

veterans do this in their honor is 

Spring Cleanups 

and 

Tree Removal 

and

inspiring and emotional.” 

Peabody’s Memorial Day 

observance begins at 10 a.m. 

with a service at Cedar Grove 

Cemetery. A service at City Hall 

follows at 11:30 a.m. 

Approximately 30 people 

representing 10 local veterans 

groups participated, canvassing 

approximately 30 Peabody 

cemeteries and placing more 

than 5,000 flags in the ground. 

Nearly 3,500 flags alone 

were placed at Cedar Grove 

Cemetery, St. Mary’s Cemetery, 

Harmony Grove Cemetery and

Patten said the Peabody 

Historical Society and Museum, 

under the direction of former 

Mayor Michael Bonfanti, handled 

most of the small-cemetery 

flagging. The Jewish 

War Veterans flagged another 

10 cemeteries. The other nine 

veterans groups — which include 

the American Legion, 

the Portugese-American War 

Veterans, the Polish Legion 

of American Veterans, the 

Fleet Reserve Association, 

the Marine Corps League, the 

Yankee Division, the Second 

Corps of Cadets, the Disabled 

American Veterans and the 

Veterans of Foreign Wars — 

placed flags at Cedar Grove, 

Harmony Grove, St. Mary’s and 

Oak Grove. 

Patten said the city isn’t done 

planting flags yet and has plans 

to plant flags at Puritan Lawn 

Cemetery on May 29. 

“We’ve been flagging for 

decades, long before I’ve been 

around, but up until a few years 

ago we only planted flags at 

city cemeteries, not private 

ones, so we never did anything 

at Puritan Lawn,” Patten said. 

“That’s a massive place both in 

terms of the number of graves 

and the space, so we’ll need a 

good number of volunteers for 

that.” 

Patten said he expects to 

enlist the services of the Boy 

Scouts and members of the high 

school National Honor Society 

again this year. He expects that 

3,000 flags will be planted. 

“The high school kids like to 

come out and get some community 

service, so we hope to rely 

on everyone again this year to 

scatter in all directions,” Patten 

said. 

With the exception of Puritan 

Lawn, the flags will remain in 

place through Veterans Day. 

“We need to remove them immediately 

so they can mow and 

perform other necessary maintenance,” 

said Patten, a Bronze 

Star recipient who served two 

tours of duty totaling 18 months 

in Afghanistan with the the 11th 

Brigade Combat Division, 82nd 

Airborne Division. 

The flagging comes on the 

heels of the installation of a new 

World War II memorial at City 

Hall. The memorial had been 

destroyed in November when 

strong winds toppled the city’s 

Christmas tree, which landed on 

top of the memorial, smashing 

it into multiple pieces. 

“It’s been a good week for 

veterans, between planting all 

of their flags to remember their 

fallen comrades and the new 

bell being installed, so they are 

ready to go on Memorial Day,” 

Patten said. “These veterans 

are so tough. Nothing stops 

them. Saturday, they were hot 

and tired. Their backs and arms 

hurt but they were relentless 

even though they are out there 

for five to six hours. It’s truly 

inspirational.”

PEABODY — The City 

Clerk's office provides access 

to indexes, records and information 

about genealogy from 

when Peabody was established 

as a town in 1868, and as a city 

in 1916. 

Prior to COVID-19, people 

could come into the clerk’s office 

to request information or 

look through a variety of handwritten 

documents, books and 

records that contain information 

about Peabody residents. 

City Clerk Allyson Danforth 

said the office doesn’t perform 

an entire history and research 

on request, but offers documents, 

books and information 

contained in its “vault” so people 

can search on their own. If

someone wants a city document 

certified, Danforth said the office 

will handle the request. 

“We have physical, handwritten 

documents and books 

from way back when that people 

can go through,” Danforth 

said. “It’s all in our vault, and 

we allow people to come in and 

access the books that way.” 

Before Peabody became established 

as a town, it was part 

of South Danvers, so Danforth 

said sometimes people will look 

through the Peabody records 

but may have to go to Danvers 

if they are in search of something 

from before 1916. 

She also said people will call 

the clerk’s office in search of 

genealogy information if they 

live far away and need some 

quick information. 

“Especially if people aren’t 

from the area, or if they’re 

coming back to the area then 

suddenly they’re on a genealogy 

search as a part of their vacation,” 

Danforth said. “So it’s 

kind of fun to see people come 

in from different parts of the 

country and look things up like 

that.” 

The records can show what 

great-grandparents did for a living 

or other “tidbits” that can be 

found in the records, Danforth 

said. 

During the majority of the 

pandemic, the clerk’s office had 

been closed, and Danforth said 

nobody has been able to come 

in to do research. Now the 

clerk’s office is fully open and 

Danforth said people can come 

in and peruse through history as 

they please. 

Tanner City 

is tree city 

BY ANNE MARIE TOBIN 

PEABODY — The City 

of Peabody has been named a 

2020 Tree City USA community 

by the Arbor Day Foundation 

for its commitment to urban forestry. 

This is the 20th year that 

Peabody has earned the national 

honor from the Arbor Day 

Foundation, the nation’s largest 

nonprofit organization dedicated 

to planting trees. 

“Planting and caring for 

trees is among the most important 

things we can do to benefit 

current and future generations,” 

Mayor Edward A. Bettencourt 

Jr. said. “We all know that trees 

beautify the landscape and provide 

shade for our homes, but 

they also offer countless environmental, 

economic and social 

benefits.” 

There are four standards that 

must be achieved in order to 

become a Tree City USA community. 

They must have a tree 

board or department, a tree-care 

ordinance, a community forestry 

program with annual expenditures 

of at least $2 per capita, 

and an Arbor Day observance 

and proclamation. 

Peabody Parks, Recreation 

and Forestry Director Jennifer 

Davis said the city was unable 

to host its annual Arbor Day 

program, which is traditionally 

held on the last Friday of April, 

because of the pandemic. She 

said normally the city purchases 

up to 1,200 saplings every year, 

which are distributed to city 

schools for planting. This year, 

however, that program was canceled, 

but the city nonetheless 

plans to resume planting new 

trees at several parks. 

"Last year, we simply 

couldn't get the trees planted, so 

we decided to scale down some 

of the activities we normally do 

to celebrate Arbor Day," Davis 

said. "We are committed to 

continuing the tradition of our 

forestry program. Last year was 

tough with schools being closed, 

so we couldn't do what we have 

been doing so successfully for 

the last 20-30 years, and it's really 

fun to see these saplings planted 

by students grow into mature 

trees, which benefit everyone in 

the community."

Seniors News 

May is Older Americans Month 

Carol McMahon 

For the Weekly News 

PEABODY — In tough 

times, communities find 

strength in people — and people 

find strength in their communities. 

In the past year, we’ve seen 

this time and again in Peabody 

as friends, neighbors, and businesses 

have found new ways to 

support each other. 

In our community, older 

adults are a key source of this 

strength. Through their experiences, 

successes, and difficulties, 

they have built resilience 

that helps them to face new 

challenges. 

When communities tap into 

this, they become stronger too. 

Each May, the Administration 

for Community Living leads 

the celebration of Older Americans 

Month (OAM). This 

year’s theme is Communities 

of Strength, recognizing the 

important role older adults play 

in fostering the connection and 

engagement that build strong, 

resilient communities. 

Strength is built and shown 

not only by bold acts, but also 

small ones of day-to-day life 

— a conversation shared with 

a friend, working in the garden, 

trying a new recipe, or taking 

time for a cup of tea on a busy 

day. And when we share these 

activities with others — even 

virtually or by telling about the 

experience later — we help them 

build resilience too. 

This year, the Peabody Senior 

Center will celebrate Older 

Americans Month by encouraging 

community members to 

share their experiences. Together, 

we can find strength — and 

create a stronger future. 

Here are some ways to share 

and connect: 

Look for joy in the everyday: 

Celebrate small moments and 

ordinary pleasures by taking 

time to recognize them. Start 

a gratitude journal and share it 

with others via social media, or 

call a friend or family member to 

share a happy moment or to say 

thank you. 

Reach out to neighbors: Even 

if you can’t get together in person 

right now, you can still connect 

with your neighbors. Leave 

a small gift on their doorstep, offer 

to help with outdoor chores, 

or deliver a home-cooked meal. 

Build new skills: Learning 

something new allows us to 

practice overcoming challenges. 

Take an art course online or 

try a socially distanced outdoor 

movement class to enjoy learning 

with others in your community. 

Have a skill to share? Find 

an opportunity to teach someone, 

even casually. 

Share your story: There’s a 

reason storytelling is a time-honored 

activity. Hearing how others 

experience the world helps 

us grow. Interviewing family, 

friends, and neighbors can 

open up new conversations and 

strengthen our connections. 

When people of different 

ages, backgrounds, abilities, 

and talents share experiences — 

through action, story, or service 

— we help build strong communities. 

And that’s something to 

celebrate! 

The Peabody Council on 

Aging recently purchased a tent 

and is awaiting its arrival. We 

plan to schedule outdoor classes 

such as line dancing, Zumba and 

some chair yoga under the new 

tent. 

We are also planning to have 

some classes meet on-site as 

well. 

We will gradually work toward 

opening up some areas of 

the senior center and eventually 

will offer lunch here again. Until 

then, we have decided to continue 

our frozen meals program. At 

the present time, our large dining 

room and stage area is being 

used as a vaccination site, which 

will continue over the next several 

months. 

Staff members will be in contact 

with the teachers and participants 

of many of our classes in 

the next few weeks. Per Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

guidelines, we will require 

participants to fill out paperwork 

with their contact information 

in case there is a need for our 

Health Department to do contact 

tracing. 

Classes will be limited and 

registration will be required. 

Unfortunately we will be unable 

to accommodate drop-in visitors 

at this time. You will need to be 

given an appointment in order to 

attend. 

We know this has been a very 

difficult time for so many and 

we will be adding programs and 

services as quickly, but most importantly, 

as safely as possible. 

Please feel free to call us at any 

time at 978-531-2254 for more 

information.

Sullivan Tire family expands its Peabody presence 

BY ANNE MARIE TOBIN 

ITEM STAFF 

PEABODY — Sullivan Tire 

and Auto Service has opened a 

second auto repair shop in Peabody. 

With a shop already in the 

downtown area on Washington 

Street, the new location on Andover 

Street (Route 114) will take 

over operations of Direct Tire. 

Sullivan Tire purchased the business 

following the death of Direct 

Tire owner Barry Steinberg. 

Vice President of Marketing 

Paul Sullivan said the transaction 

was bittersweet. 

"Barry was a great man and 

a great advocate for the independent 

tire people, and I have the 

utmost appreciation for him," Sullivan 

said. "This came about due 

to the unfortunate circumstances 

of his passing. Through it all, his 

business remained strong and our 

promise is to certainly support his 

customers the way he would — 

with nothing but the best service." 

As part of the acquisition, Sullivan 

also has taken over operations 

at Direct Tire in Medway, 

bringing the total number of Sullivan 

shops to 75 throughout Greater 

Boston and New England. 

Sullivan believes that 99 percent 

of Direct's employees will 

stay on. 

"We're going to treat every one 

of our nearly 1,300 employees as 

if they were members of the Sullivan 

family," he said. "We have 

wonderful benefits and also provide 

a great opportunity for people 

to be trained in auto diagnostics. 

"We hope to retain all of the 

employees to carry on the tradition 

of excellence that Direct customers 

and our customers have 

come to expect," he said. 

According to Sullivan, the pandemic 

posed unique challenges 

for many independents, especially 

when it came to keeping operations 

as normal as possible during 

the emergency shutdown. 

"We were designated as an 

essential business and had to be 

on call at all times as we service 

police, ambulance, medical staff 

and state and federal government 

agencies, so we stressed to our 

employees that we had to continue 

allowing the people we serve 

to keep roads safe and take care 

of the needs of essential workers," 

Sullivan said. "These people were 

sacrificing so much, so we took 

that as a charge and learned how 

important our role in the transportation 

industry is." 

If there is a silver lining, Sullivan 

said, it's being able to focus 

on the little things that he believes 

are of utmost importance to be 

successful. 

"It's attention to detail, it's being 

able to treat every customer 

who walks in the door as the most 

important customer. That has allowed 

us to continue to provide 

expert service during these 14 

months that I can only describe as 

horrific," Sullivan said. "We constantly 

reinforced and reminded 

one and all that we need to be good 

to one another in order to continue 

to do our part. Now, I think people 

are still a bit apprehensive, but 

there is beginning to be the feeling 

that spring is eternal." 

Sullivan Tire is no stranger to 

Peabody, having had a location 

near the site of the Shaw's Supermarket 

at the Northshore Mall for 

many years before being forced 

to shut down in the 1980s due to 

redevelopment. Sullivan Tire reopened 

on Washington Street in 

2009. 

Sullivan is "thrilled" to double 

Sullivan Tire's presence in Peabody. 

"This new location is only 

about three miles away, and it's 

a little bit different type of shop, 

but we're really excited about it," 

said Sullivan. "We have always 

enjoyed our relationship with the 

Peabody people and those in surrounding 

communities. I'm proud 

to say Sullivan Tire is entrenched 

in the city of Peabody. Our intention 

is to take the baton from Barry 

and run our leg of the race." 

Sullivan Tire is a family-owned-and-operated 

business 

that has been serving customers 

in New England since Bob "The 

Chef" Sullivan and his wife, Mary 

founded the business in 1955 — 

on a dead-end street in Rockland, 

as Bob Sullivan & Sons Tire. 

Since then, the company has expanded 

to 109 total locations (including 

distribution centers, commercial 

outlets, warehouses and 

administrative offices). 

"Our motto then and now has 

always been the same — treat 

everyone, customers and fellow 

employees, as you would a member 

of your family," said Sullivan, 

who regularly appears in company 

advertisements surrounded by 

his young family members. "My 

father felt loyal to his people. It’s 

the guiding principle on which 

this company is built."

James Michael Sheehan, 76 

1945 - 2021 

LYNNFIELD - James Michael 

Sheehan, age 76, of Lynnfield died 

Sunday, May 16 at his residence 

surrounded by his loving family after 

a short illness and undoubtedly 

a broken heart following the loss 

of his beloved wife of almost 40 

years, Donna. 

Born in Malden on January 23, 

1945 he was the son of the late 

John and Nora (Walsh) Sheehan. 

“Jim” was raised in Malden and 

was a graduate of Malden Catholic 

High School and then went on to 

receive his bachelor’s in business 

from Boston College. He married 

Barbara Clark with whom he had 

four children before Barbara died 

at a very young age of cancer. 

While working in Boston’s leather 

district Jim met Donna St. Pierre, 

his future bride. In 1992, the two 

began their own business, Sheehan 

Sales Associates, Inc. where 

they successfully trademarked and 

patented textiles that are used in 

performance products for the footwear 

industry. Donna and Jim went 

on to have three more Sheehan 

children and raised their family of 

seven in Lynnfield. Jim was devoted 

to his family and loved nothing 

more than time spent together. He 

was an avid golfer and enjoyed 

making trips all over New England 

to play different courses. Jim loved 

all music and the news, he also 

enjoyed watching the local sports 

teams, but not more than watching 

his children and grandchildren 

in their own athletic endeavors. 

Together Jim and Donna enjoyed 

traveling, most especially to Ireland 

to visit family. They shared a 

beautiful marriage. 

He was the beloved husband 

of the late Donna S. (St. Pierre) 

Sheehan. He was the loving father 

of Kerry A. Connelly and her 

husband John of Peabody, Monica 

Sullivan and her husband 

James of Amesbury, Michael P. 

Sheehan and his wife Kathryn of 

Rowley, Christopher Sheehan and 

his wife Juliana of Brazil, Patrick 

J. Sheehan and his wife Brenna 

of Topsfield, Kathleen M. Simione 

and her husband Joseph of Lynnfield, 

and Ryan C. Sheehan and 

his wife Amanda of Lynnfield. He 

was the brother of John V. Sheehan 

of Quincy and Kathleen McKenna 

and her husband Harold of 

Wakefield. He was the cherished 

grandfather of Daniel and Timothy 

Connelly, Sam, Will and Owen Sullivan, 

Bridget Sheehan, Emilia and 

Theodore Sheehan, and Victoria 

and Abigail Sheehan. He is also 

survived by many loving nieces 

and nephews, cousins, and extended 

family members. 

Service Information: Visitation 

for relatives and friends at 

the McDonald Funeral Home, 19 

Yale Ave., Wakefield on Thursday, 

May 20 from 4-7pm. His Funeral 

Mass will be celebrated in St.

BY STEVE KRAUSE 

PEABODY — Kristina 

Rossignol was at a crossroads 

after her freshman year 

at Quinnipiac University in 

Connecticut. 

She’d played sports all 

throughout high school, was a 

league all-star in softball, and 

made it onto the college team as a 

walk-on. She even played a little. 

But something dogged her. 

It wasn’t softball. It was the 

days she spent with Tom Gould 

at the Carroll School Challenger 

Basketball League. 

“I was a volunteer there, from 

the time I was a kid,” says the 

Quinnipiac sophomore. “You 

hung around with them. Played 

basketball with them. I’d been 

going there since fifth grade, and 

saw children who had issues. I 

liked helping them; that was my 

motivation.” 

So, she had to make a choice: 

play softball or pursue her vocation 

as an athletic trainer and a 

doctor of physical therapy. 

She made it. 

Organized softball is in the 

rearview mirror, and physical 

therapy — with a strong emphasis 

on pediatrics — is on the 

horizon. 

“It was a tough choice to 

make,” Rossignol said. “It took 

me about three weeks to make it. 

And once I did, though, I don’t 

regret it. I miss it, but I don’t regret 

making it.” 

The dual degree of athletic 

training with a doctorate in 

physical therapy leaves her with 

about five more years of school. 

Her projected date for completion 

of the dual degree is 2026, 

but she doesn’t mind. 

“I love it,” she said. 

She sees her career path as 

wandering from time to time 

into the realm of occupational 

therapy. 

“A little bit,” she said. “I have 

had injuries in the past, but this 

is more. I saw people during 

Challenger Basketball who 

had trouble walking. Trouble 

shooting baskets. I just thought it 

would be interesting to see them 

get those functions. 

“But,” she said, “I like 

working with athletes too.” 

With her goals so clearly laid 

out for her, getting in the right 

clinical rotation became more 

important than softball. 

“I was able to help out with 

the team, but I didn’t want to 

make it my No. 1 priority,” she 

said. 

Still, Rossignol hasn’t completely 

deserted sports. 

“I also played basketball in 

high school, and I’ve kept up 

with that, playing intramurals 

at school. And I’m part of the 

Best Buddies program at school, 

STUDENT OF 

THE WEEK 

where I get to be a buddy to 

someone my age, hang out with 

them, sit and read a book, stuff 

like that. 

“Those days with Tom stayed 

with me,” she said. “It was such 

a young age that it really impacted 

me, and made me who I 

am.” 

Her book-learning is going 

well. She got all As and Bs 

this semester, and feels she’s 

learning what she needs to 

learn for career. Rossignol takes 

mostly science courses, as they 

dovetail with what she does in 

her clinicals. 

Her main goals in the end are 

to be either a pediatric physical 

therapist or work with an athletic 

team. 

“Either way,” she said, “I 

think I am headed in the right 

direction. Those are two very 

rewarding fields, and I think it’s 

important to like what you do. 

YOU’RE 

ALWAYS ON 

THE MOVE.

Christian Loescher, right, went 2-for-4 with one RBI in a win 

over Swampscott Sunday. 

Fenwick rallies to take 

down Swampscott 

BASEBALL 

By Mike Alongi 

SWAMPSCOTT — The 

Bishop Fenwick baseball team 

benefited from a combination 

of timely hitting and shutout 

relief pitching on Sunday afternoon, 

rallying from behind for 

a 5-4 win over Swampscott in a 

non-conference battle at Forest 

Avenue Park. The key inning 

for Fenwick was the top of 

the fifth, where the Crusaders 

notched three runs to jump 

ahead for good. 

“Our hitting isn’t quite 

where we want it to be, but 

when we’re hitting the ball to 

right-center field then we’re 

doing something right,” said 

Fenwick coach Russ Steeves. 

“We were hitting a lot of balls 

to right-center (Sunday). Our 

approach was much better.” 

Fenwick had a number 

of key offensive contributors 

in the win, with Gianni 

Mercurio (2-for-4, double), 

Christian Loescher (2-for-4), 

Chris Faraca (2-for-4) and 

Tucker Destino (2-for-3) each 

notching one RBI. Mike Faragi 

went 3-for-4 with two doubles 

in the win. 

On the mound, Anthony 

Marino earned the win in relief 

after tossing 3 1/3 innings of 

scoreless, one-hit baseball. 

“Anthony came up big for 

us and really shut them down 

in the final few innings,” said 

Steeves. “He was fresh and 

rested, and he came in to get 

the job done.” 

Brendan Bloom went the 

first four innings for the no-decision, 

allowing four runs on 

five hits with two strikeouts. 

On the Swampscott side, 

Alex Greenfield led the way 

after going 2-for-3 with a 

double and two RBI. Connor 

Correnti went 2-for-4 with a 

double and one RBI, while 

Matthew McIntire went 1-for-3 

with one RBI. 

Joseph Ford took the loss on 

the mound in relief, allowing 

three runs on six hits in three 

innings of work. John Cuttle 

got the start and the no-decision 

for the Big Blue, going 

four innings and allowing 

two runs on six hits with five 

strikeouts. 

“You hate being on the back 

end of a one-run game, but 

we battled the whole way,” 

said Swampscott coach Joe 

Caponigro. “We did a lot of 

good things out there, and 

hopefully we can take advantage 

of our opportunities 

and play some good baseball 

moving forward.” 

The Crusaders got things 

going right away, striking 

in the top of the first inning. 

Scott Emerson got on base to 

lead off, and after a groundout 

moved him over to second 

base, Mercuiro stepped into the 

box and laced an RBI double to 

put Fenwick up 1-0. 

The Crusaders added another 

run in the second inning, 

moving a runner to third base 

before scoring on a fielder’s 

choice. 

Swampscott finally got on 

the board in the bottom of the 

third thanks to an RBI single 

from Correnti to make it 2-1, 

but the big inning for the Big 

Blue came in the bottom of the 

fourth. 

McIntire tied things up at 

2-2 with an RBI single up the 

middle, then Jason Bouffard 

singled to put runners on 

first and second. Two batters 

later, Greenfield stepped in 

and launched a deep two-run 

double to make it 4-2 Big Blue. 

The lead didn’t last long. 

In the top of the fifth, 

Fenwick got runners on first 

and second and then started 

hitting. Loescher and Faraca 

notched back-to-back RBI singles 

to tie the score back up 

at 4-4, then Destino put the 

Crusaders ahead 5-4 on an RBI 

double. 

Marino took it from there, 

shutting down the Big Blue 

bats over their final three atbats 

of the game. 


Bishop Fenwick’s Liam Hill scored five goals in a win over Matignon Monday afternoon. 

Fenwick takes down Matignon 

for first win of the season 

BOYS LACROSSE 

By Daniel Kane 

PEABODY — The Bishop 

Fenwick boys lacrosse team 

rode a five-goal performance 

from Liam Hill to its first win of 

the season Monday, topping visiting 

Matignon 8-6 at Donaldson 

Stadium. 

“Liam came in last year as 

a transfer from Governor’s 

Academy,” Fenwick coach 

Steve Driscoll said. “He’s really 

stepped into the role of being a 

leader on this team. He’s especially 

helping with our young 

attackmen. We’re starting a 

freshman and a sophomore with 

him, so it’s crucial for him to 

be a leader. He produces and 

teaches these kids how to play 

lacrosse.” 

Nick Sasso, Aiden Anthony 

and Ryan McGann each had 

one goal in the win. Sasso actually 

spent most of the game anchoring 

Fenwick’s defense along 

with Nick Wesley and Liam 

Foley. The group shut down 

Matignon in the fourth quarter 

thanks to some solid late play 

from goalie George Kostolias. 

“In that fourth quarter, the defense 

was great,” Driscoll said. 

“It’s another brand-new group. 

Liam Foley was a captain of 

the soccer team this fall. He’s 

never picked up a lacrosse stick 

before in his life. He stepped 

right in, has started every game 

and played almost every single 

minute. Nick Sasso played attack 

as a sophomore, wanted 

to get on the field this year and 

grabbed the stick. And Nick 

Wesley has been an anchor in 

front of George.” 

The Crusaders jumped right 

out front early thanks to two 

quick goals from Hill and another 

from Sasso to go ahead 

3-0. 

But Matignon clawed back 

into things in the second quarter 

with a pair of goals of its own 

despite being a man down after a 

penalty. Another goal from Hill 

gave Fenwick a cushion, but 

Matignon tied things up at 4-4 

before the half. 

Things went back-and-forth 

for a stretch in the third quarter, 

but another Hill tally and a 

hard-fought score by Anthony 

put Fenwick ahead 7-5 midway 

through the quarter. 

With 32 seconds to play in 

the third, Matignon scored again 

to make it a one-goal game and 

looked poised to make another 

comeback, but Fenwick shut the 

door. 

Hill’s fifth goal put the 

Crusaders up 8-6 and Kostolias 

did the rest, with a few late 

saves to lead Fenwick to its first 

Catholic Central League victory 

of the year. 

“Games like this are huge,” 

Driscoll said. “We have to be 

able to learn from game-like 

situations. We’re definitely in 

the process of getting back into 

things, replenishing and rebuilding. 

We’re getting young 

guys a ton of runs, which has 

been awesome. We definitely 

graduated some guys from last 

year so it’s a really big learning 

process for a lot of these kids.” 

Fenwick (1-3) has a day 

off before visiting Cardinal 

Spellman Wednesday (4). 

“It’s nice to get into a groove 

here,” Driscoll said. “With this 

year, it’s recovery days in between 

games, not really practice. 

We’ll make sure all our bumps 

and bruises are taken care of so 

we’re ready to go next game.”

Peabody’s Amber Kiricoples had five goals and three assists in a loss to Swampscott Thursday 

afternoon. 

Peabody comes up just short 

against NEC foe Swampscott 

GIRLS LACROSSE 


SWAMPSCOTT — Despite 

giving up a five-goal lead 

over the final 15 minutes of 

the game, the Swampscott 

girls lacrosse team ended up 

scoring two goals in the final 

six minutes to survive with an 

11-10 win over Northeastern 

Conference foe Peabody at 

Blocksidge Field Thursday 

afternoon. 

“Every year when we play 

Peabody, both games are like 

this,” said Swampscott coach 

Jillian Robinson. “That’s a 

strong, smart team and every 

year they come to play. It’s always 

a mental test as much as 

a physical one, and our girls 

were able to come out with a 

well-deserved win.” 

Broghan Laundry led the offensive 

charge for Swampscott 

with five goals and one assist, 

while Elizabeth Green had two 

goals and one assist. Scarlett 

Ciciotti scored two goals, 

while Harper Clopton and 

Reese Robertson each scored 

one goal. 

For Peabody, Amber 

Kiricoples (five goals, three 

assists) and Hailie Lomasney 

(five goals, two assists) combined 

to score all the goals 

for the Tanners. Hailey Baker 

added three assists in the loss, 

while Emily McDonough had 

one assist. 

“I think we were rushing 

things in the first half and that 

got us behind, but in the second 

half we were winning it 7-1 at 

one point,” said Peabody coach 

Dennis Desroches. “But then 

we had a big turnover and a 

draw loss, and they got right 

back in it. The turnovers got to 

us. Swampscott is an excellent 

attack team, and you can’t give 

them the ball like that.” 

While the score may have 

been 11-10 at the final buzzer, 

both coaches agreed that defense 

and goaltending were 

key for both sides in the game. 

Swampscott goalie Sasha 

Divall had 13 saves for the 

Big Blue, while Olivia Lavalle 

made 18 saves for the Tanners. 

“Sasha has come a long way 

for us in the three years she’s 

been here,” said Robinson. 

“This is her first year starting 

varsity and she’s stepped up 

big. And I can’t say enough 

about our defense. Dennis is a 

smart coach and they were able 

to break down our zone, but 

the girls were able to switch to 

man-to-man over the final minutes 

to shut them down.” 

“We played some great 

defense tonight and Olivia 

Lavalle shut the door on some 

big shots,” said Desroches. 

“Those saves allowed us to get 

back going the other way, and 

that was key.” 

It was an up and down 

game for both teams. Peabody 

got things started about five 

minutes into the game, with 

Kiricoples scoring an unassisted 

goal to give the Tanners 

a 1-0 lead. 

Swampscott answered back 

a little more than a minute later 

on a goal from Laundry, and 

the Big Blue went on to rattle 

off four more goals in a row to 

jump out to a 5-1 lead early in 

the second quarter. 

Peabody responded with two 

goals from Lomasney over the 

final 10 minutes of the half, 

but the Big Blue got two goals 

from Robertson and one more 

from Ciciotti to take an 8-3 

lead into the halftime break. 

Peabody came out and scored 

the first goal of the second 

half thanks to Kiricoples, but 

Swampscott answered back 

on a goal from Laundry a few 

minutes later. 

Then, things flipped. 

Trailing 9-4 with five minutes 

left in the third, Peabody 

went on a 6-0 run over the next 

nine minutes of game time to 

grab a 10-9 lead — its first lead 

since the opening minutes of 

the game. 

Unfortunately for the 

Tanners, things stalled from 

there. A few costly turnovers 

led to scoring chances for 

Swampscott, and the Big Blue 

didn’t disappoint. Green tied 

the game up at 10-10 on a 

goal with 6:18 to play before 

Clopton scored the eventual 

game-winning goal with 5:10 

to go in the game.

PEABODY — Thanks to a 

great throw from Tanners left 

fielder Jacob Palharas to gun 

down the tying run on a double 

play in the top of the seventh 

inning, the Peabody baseball 

team hung on to take down 

Northeastern Conference foe 

Beverly by a score of 6-5 at 

Peabody Veterans Memorial 

High School Wednesday 

afternoon. 

On the offensive side of 

things, Juan Tolentino and 

Brendan Smith each contributed 

two RBI for the Tanners. 


Peabody’s Jacob 

Palharas made the 

game-clinching 

catch to take down 

Beverly Wednesday 

at home. 

Joey Raymond added a double 

and one RBI, while Ryan 

Knight also had one RBI. 

Justin Powers earned the 

win on the mound for Peabody, 

tossing six innings and allowing 

four runs. Evan DeLillo 

earned the save. 

The Tanners held a 5-0 lead 

in the top of the fifth and looked 

to be cruising to victory, but 

Beverly battled back with five 

runs in the final two innings. 

The Panthers even loaded the 

bases in the top of the seventh 

before Palharas ended 

the game when he caught a fly 

ball and threw out the tagging 

runner at home.

“Helpful tips” 

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

trouble-free move! 

Designate a drawer for 

essentials such as 

sheets and towels for 

quick access the first 

night you move into 

your new home. 

Plan a garage/yard 

sale before you move. 

Fresh coffee, baking 

soda, or charcoal in a 

sock, placed inside 

your refrigerator will 

keep the inside smelling 

fresh and clean. 

Pack your current 

phone book — it’s a 

quick easy reference to 

the folks back home. 

Place pictures in 

boxes between sheets 

or blankets to give 

them extra protection.

Good times 

brewing at 

Granite Coast 

By Tréa Lavery 

PEABODY — Jeff Marquis 

and Rob Dunn have been 

brewing beer together for 

more than 10 years, ever since 

a friend purchased a Groupon 

from a Danvers homebrew 

supply store. 

They started out in Dunn’s 

kitchen, making a few batches 

at a time. When Dunn’s wife 

became pregnant with their first 

child, they moved everything 

out to Marquis’ single-car garage, 

installing an electrical 

system and plenty of other 

equipment to turn it into a single-barrel 

brew house. 

In just a couple of weeks, the 

lifelong friends will celebrate 

two years since they officially 

opened their own brewery, 

downtown Peabody’s Granite 

Coast Brewing. 

“We saw this space after 

they gutted it from a longterm 

renter, so we walked into 

a blank canvas,” said Dunn. 

“Everything we could do ourselves, 

we did.” 

Dunn isn’t exaggerating. 

Everything from laying new 

floorboards, painting, drywall, 

building furniture and retiling 

the bathrooms was done by 

friends, family, and Dunn and 

Marquis themselves. 

They’ve been open for almost 

two years, but their employee 

roster still includes friends who 

have helped them along the way 

— even the woman who originally 

purchased the Groupon, 

Amy Luckiewicz, now serves 

as the company’s marketing and 

events manager. 

The brewery is known for 

its wide variety of beer styles, 

with a range of lagers, IPAs, 

kolsches, sours, wheat beers, 

shandies, porters and more always 

on draft, and new brews 

getting tapped all the time. 

“The beer world has such a 

variety of styles, and that’s the 

beauty of our model,” Dunn 

said, explaining that they never 

want a customer to feel like all 

of their options taste the same. 

“You can introduce people to 

new styles.” 

Ten months after Granite 

Coast’s May 2019 opening, the 

COVID-19 pandemic shut the 

company down. While Marquis 

and Dunn were able to offer 

to-go and delivery options, their 

events and everyday customer 

interactions were put on hold. 

They quickly pivoted by 

starting to run online events 

like trivia nights, Dungeons 

& Dragons campaigns, 

Scattergories and Jeopardy. 

Their popular monthly trivia 

nights have raised money for 

causes like Newhall Fields 

Community Farm and Last 

Hope K9 Rescue. 

“The online events were never 

about making money,” Marquis 

said. “It was about maintaining 

clientele and helping them 

maintain their sanity.” 

Marquis said that these events 

even helped them expand their 

following, with many of their 

fans stopping into the taproom 

for the first time after they 

reopened. 

In addition to their online 

events, the brewery regularly 

hosts local food vendors so that 

customers coming in for a beer 

can also get something to eat and 

abide by the state’s COVID-19 

protocols for restaurants. 

While the requirement that 

customers purchase food will 

be lifted by Massachusetts at 

the end of the month, Granite 

Coast will continue to partner 

with local food vendors to offer 

meals. 

Other breweries have been 

good partners as well. One 

larger local brewery offered 

up an unused brewhouse to let 

Granite Coast and other companies 

can their beers for distribution, 

something that they had 

never been able to do before. 

“I’ve been amazed at how 

supportive the brewing industry 

is of each other,” Luckiewicz 

said. “I see the reach-out. It’s 

really nice to see.” 

Meanwhile, Granite Coast 

regulars have been slowly 

coming back. While Marquis 

and Dunn said that their patronage 

comes and goes on any 

given day, the company’s dedication 

to strict COVID protocols 

and transparency — along 

with their community-oriented 

events and desire to be a downtown 

hub of activity — has kept 

their customers loyal. 

“We try to make sure this 

place is a welcoming environment 

to everybody,” Dunn 

said. “People say ‘I’ve lived in 

Peabody my whole life, and it’s 

good to see things happening 

downtown again.’”
