Steve Fine of Peabody stands with a painting created by his son, Dan, and brother, 

Jeffrey, shortly before Dan’s death from melanoma in 1998. As a result of Dan’s 

death, Steve founded the Melanoma Education Foundation to raise awareness, primarily 

among school students. 

PEABODY — The Peabodybased 

Melanoma Education 

Foundation (MEF) found out 

late last week that up to 10 runners 

have been approved to run 

the New York City Marathon. 

“This is a major opportunity 

for us,” said Stephen Fine, the 

founder and president of MEF. 

“We’d been doing the marathon 

for about 10 years. After they 

canceled last year, it was tough 

because we lost all of our fundraising 

events. Being able to 

participate this year is huge.” 

Fine said at least five people 

have committed to run for MEF 

in the Nov. 3 race. Another two 

or three more have expressed 

interest in committing. Each 

runner must pledge a minimum 

amount, which Fine said is 

$2,500. 

North River approaches next phase 


PEABODY — The city’s 

North River Resiliency, 

Canal Wall, and Riverwalk 

Project is on track to move 

onto its next phase. 

That was the conclusion 

of Assistant Director of 

Planning Brendan Callahan 

and representatives from 

Weston and Sampson 

Engineers, Inc. at a virtual 

public presentation last 

Thursday night. 

The presentation included 

a brief project recap and an 

update on site plans, as well 

as an introduction of an updated 

design for 24 Caller 

St. 

“This project is a nod to 

the North River history and 

is an awesome opportunity 

for the city,” said Callahan. 

“Not only will it be a beautiful 

natural area, but it 

will also address corridor 

flooding issues today and 

the future 75 years.” 

Callahan said Caller 

Street amenities will include 

benches, lighting clusters, 

FINE, PAGE 3 

new landscaping and trees. 

Pathways will be a mix of asphalt 

and a boardwalk-style 

decking with seating, and 

part of the project will incorporate 

recycled canal-wall 

blocks. There will also be a 

gathering deck and graffiti 

art wall.

North River/Riverwalk approaches next phase 

RIVER 

FROM PAGE 1 

Key components of the site 

include the white birch and 

river birch groves, and public 

art displays have been added to 

the design. 

“At the first meeting in 

January, there was much interest 

in incorporating more art 

into the project, so we adjusted 

the design to reflect that,” 

Callahan said. 

Landscape architect Cass 

Chroust said other elements 

desired by residents include 

historical/interpretive markers, 

plantings and small gardens, 

Instagrammable spots, a 

bird-observation area and more 

trees with expanded green 

canopies. 

“These kinds of features 

that add greater environmental 

focus are always on (the) top 

of our minds when it comes to 

these projects,” Chroust said. 

The Howley Street site 

plan calls for a bridge over 

Strongwater Brook, an 

8-foot wide asphalt path with 

fencing, a boardwalk overlook 

and seating area, pedestrian 

lighting and a rapid-flashing 

beacon crosswalk. 

The Caller Street and Wallis 

Street site plans calls for a 

new canal wall (which has 

been moved back for flood 

mitigation) and vegetative 

slope, a 10-foot boardwalk 

with overlook seating, as well 

as an 8-foot asphalt path with 

fencing and rapid-flashing beacons 

at crosswalks. Callahan 

said the project will also include 

1,600 feet of pathways.

Sixty-four percent of respondents 

said the project (excluding 

Caller Street) suits their 

travel and recreation needs,

varsity sports and 

extracurricular activities. 

They also study subjects 

such as leadership, ethics, 

small arms, drill, seamanship 

and navigation, tactics, naval 

engineering and weapons and 

military law. Upon graduation, 

midshipmen earn a Bachelor of 

Science degree in a choice of 25 

different subject majors and go 

on to serve at least five years of 

exciting and rewarding service 

opting for a leisurely lawn and 

deck space. 

With respect to Caller Street, 

respondents cited several elements 

they felt were missing 

from the design, including security 

cameras, barbecue fire 

pits, covered areas for rain, signage 

on the Native American 

history of the river, space for 

food trucks and restrooms.

MELANOMA 

FROM PAGE 1 

MEF was organized by Fine 

and his wife, Gail, in 1999 after 

they lost their 26-year old son, 

Dan, to the disease in October 

1998. 

Dan, who worked in 

California, had returned home 

for a surprise visit during 

Memorial Day weekend in 

1996. Steve noticed a large dark 

spot on Dan’s back and advised 

his son to have it checked out 

when he got back to California. 

Dan followed through on the 

request and learned he had latestage 

melanoma. He moved 

back home for treatment. By 

late 1997, the 1990 Veterans 

Memorial High School graduate 

was healthy enough to return to 

his daily routine, including vigorous 

workouts (Dan had been 

an athlete, rowing varsity crew 

at the University of Miami). 

In April 1998, the cancer had 

spread to his liver and lungs and 

was inoperable. 

“No one has to die from 

melanoma, it’s absolutely preventable,” 

said Fine. “Like 90 

percent of all cases, we had no 

family history of melanoma, 

Dan was not a sun worshipper, 

he had a dark complexion. This 

all came down to he just didn’t 

know. Nobody taught him in 

school about how to prevent 

melanoma. That’s why we felt 

our focus had to be on education, 

working with high-school 

and middle-school teachers to 

educate young people about the 

importance of early detection.” 

The Foundation started 

slowly, with a few North Shore 

high schools. Gradually, operations 

expanded to include most 

of New England. 

“At that point, we realized 

we didn’t have the resources we 

needed to reach more schools, so 

we put it all online,” Fine said. 

The initiative took off. Today, 

the Foundation’s lessons, programs 

and services are used in 

all 50 states at more than 1,700 

schools. 

The MEF website focuses 

on giving teachers and students 

access to free lesson plans, educational 

videos and general 

information on early detection, 

prevention and the importance 

of self-examinations.

sunscreen protection, prevention 

requires a major behavioral 

change for most people,” 

said Fine. “Once-a-month selfexams 

are easier, so it is more 

successful.” 

The program utilizes separate 

videos tailor made for middleand 

high-school students, with 

each focusing on early detection. 

The Foundation also provides 

facial skin analyzer machines to 

area schools. 

“We can make them ‘OMG’ 

machines. It’s startling to see 

the kids’ reactions when they 

see how much damage has been 

done,” Fine said. “It doesn’t 

show skin cancer, but the good 

news is the machines do raise 

awareness.” 

Fine said while the average 

age of melanoma victims is in 

the mid-60s, there tends to be a 

huge spike in new case detections 

among those in their midto-late 

20s. 

“When kids graduate from 

high school, the vulnerability 

increases tremendously,” said 

Fine. 

Fine’s efforts have been 

recognized by numerous organizations. 

He was the recipient 

of a 2008 Boston Celtics 

“Heroes Among Us,” award, the 

2009 Peabody Area Chamber 

of Commerce Community 

Spirit Award and the 2011 

Massachusetts General Hospital 

Cancer Center Top 100 Award. 

In 2013, he received a New 

England Patriots Myra Kraft 

Community MVP Award. 

Fine said his son’s story is not 

uncommon. 

“We know of other similar 

families whose children have 

been diagnosed with melanoma 

at an early age, in some 

cases dying from it,” Fine said. 

“Melanoma is a tale of two cities; 

While cases are increasing, 

deaths are declining. If you find 

it early you’re more likely to 

survive, but if you don’t, the opposite 

is true. That’s why early 

detection is so important.”

BOSTON — Peabody artist 

On-Kyeong Seong will exhibit 

in the South End during June. 

For Seong, the natural world 

embodies beauty and ugliness. 

Her exhibition, "Graft," is influenced 

by observing nature 

under magnification. 

The distinctive shapes and 

forms resemble unusual monstrous 

objects, which are then 

transformed into magical elements 

in her work. Using a sewing 

machine to freehand “draw” 

on her surfaces, her mind and 

hand are freed from rational 

control, allowing for the subconscious 

to surface. 

Seong-Kyeong then blends 

this free expression with more 

controlled mediums such as oil 

paint, mixed media, and collage 

to reveal abstracted natural 

forms. 

The central theme throughout 

the three exhibitions at 

Kingston Gallery in June is the 

careful observation of one’s 

surroundings.

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 

June is National Safety Month 

stay independent? 

Many people make financial 

plans for retirement, but not everyone 

plans for other changes 

that may come with age. This includes 

changes in your mobility 

and your ability to get around. 

It isn’t easy to talk about, but 

as we get older, physical changes 

can make it harder to get around 

and do things we want or need 

to do, like driving, shopping or 

doing household chores. (There 

may be a time when you still 

need to get around, but can no 

longer drive.) 

You might not have mobility 

problems now, but you could in 

the future. You may even know 

others who already do: perhaps a 

parent, relative, friend or neighbor. 

While it may not be possible 

to prevent all of these changes, 

there are actions you and your 

loved ones can take today, and 

as you age, to help keep you safe 

and independent tomorrow. 

May is Older Americans Month 

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

• On the MBTA Bus Route 429 

Senior News 

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 homecooked 

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.

HOW THEY DO IT 

No foiling these fencing aficionados 

By eLyse Carmosino 

By Tréa Lavery 

PEABODY — The city's Massachusetts 

House and Senate delegation 

have plenty of planned legislation, 

from budget amendments 

to proposed bills. 

“It's a very busy time in the legislature 

as the Senate undertakes 

its FY22 budget debate and the 

Commonwealth moves toward its 

new normal," said state Sen. Joan 

Lovely. “As we progress forward, 

I will be working closely with my 

legislative colleagues, regional 

leaders and stakeholders to make 

sure there are safeguards in place 

to support families, businesses, 

employees and all residents.” 

Lovely has proposed a budget 

amendment that would provide 

$75,000 for a master plan for Peabody’s 

Centennial Park, as well as 

funding for the Home Works program, 

which provides education 

for children living in emergency 

shelters, and for child sexual 

abuse prevention. 

In addition, she secured funding 

in the state’s Economic Development 

bill for the Peabody 

Students of The Tanner City Fencing Club meet at Higgins Middle School for practice. 

PEABODY — The Tanner 

City Fencing Club has long 

served as a supportive place for 

city residents to learn the sport 

of fencing. 

Founded at the Salem YMCA 

in 1958 by Maître Joe Pechinsky, 

the club is led by Jane Hall 

Carter and James Carter, a team 

of highly accomplished fencers 

and coaches who donate their 

time each week to advance the 

sport of fencing. 

For Jane Carter, her love of 

the sport started at age 13, when 

she and her childhood best 

friend, Janice, wanted to find a 

sport to fill the time before softball 

season. 

“We both tried out for basketball 

and got cut, and she 

asked if I wanted to find something 

to keep in shape for softball,” 

Carter said. “The two of 

us went to the rec department 

for fencing … and the first night 

we worked hard, and the next 

day we were walking around 

school with our legs in absolute 

pain because you use muscles 

you don’t normally use.. 

“The two of us were like, 

‘Are you tired? I’m not tired.’ 

We pushed each other.” 

Like many students in the 

club, Carter, who now ranks 

No. 1 in the U.S. in her age 

group, credits her success in 

the sport to Pechinsky, who she 

said was dedicated to encouraging 

the club’s young fencers. 

“I just can’t say enough 

about Joe,” Carter said. “We 

keep the club going in his honor. 

When I started, I had been practicing 

for three months when 

he decided Janice and I needed 

to start competing. He showed 

up at our houses with bags of 

equipment. I don’t know how 

he knew our sizes, but he never 

charged us for lessons. It’s kind 

of why I’m still doing what Joe 

did, which is giving back.” 

The club is intended to be an 

affordable and supportive environment 

for children and adults 

of all backgrounds. To make 

Trolley, which will help improve 

transportation between the city 

and neighboring Salem and reduce 

the number of cars on the 

road. 

The House of Representatives 

has finished the budget process, 

and state Reps. Tom Walsh and 

Sally Kerans have supported 

amendments that passed. 

Walsh proposed including 

$100,000 to fund repairs to the 

Route 128 overpass in Peabody, 

which he said is very important. 

“If you drive underneath the 

Route 128 overpass, you’ll see the 

facade is in dire need of repair,” he 

said. “You can see the rebar sticking 

out in patches.” 

In addition to those successes, 

Walsh had an amendment 

fail to pass which he is hoping 

to pass legislatively. He hopes to 

use federal relief funds related to 

COVID-19 to create a fund for 

restaurants that were not eligible 

for Paycheck Protection Program 

(PPP) money. 

He said that some businesses, 

including ones incorporated after 

the PPP deadline of June 30, 2019, 

fencing more accessible to the 

masses, the Salem Y provides 

its members with all necessary 

fencing equipment and only 

charges members a nominal 

yearly membership fee to help 

defray equipment costs. 

Membership in the club includes 

group and private lessons, 

as well as open fencing in 

foil, sabre and épée. In addition, 

informal instruction is always 

available from other members. 

Fencing promotes physical 

fitness, the ability to develop 

strategy and concentration, and 

builds comradery and respect, 

Carter said — all valuable skills 

still needed help getting back on 

their feet after the pandemic. 

Kerans, who represents West 

Peabody as part of her district, is 

the newest member of the legislative 

team. She is also supporting 

a bill that did not make it into the 

House budget which would support 

the state’s local and regional 

public health departments and 

make it easier for them to collaborate. 

“During the pandemic, we 

saw communities come together 

and do a nice collaboration, but it 

wasn't easy for them to get permission,” 

Kerans said. “We are only 

as strong as our weakest public 

health department. Peabody has 

an extremely strong public health 

department, and we want to make 

sure that we try to have that everywhere 

or have the capacity to join 

with another community.” 

Walsh is sponsoring a bill that 

would require training for employees 

at hotels and motels to 

recognize the signs of human trafficking 

and display human trafficking 

hotlines prominently. 

“This came about through 

for young learners. 

“It’s a very different sport. 

It’s equated with physical 

chess,” she said. “There’s not 

only athleticism, but also a lot 

of tactics. A lot of people get 

into it because they want something 

different. 

“It’s both an individual and 

a team sport. You fence somebody 

individually head-tohead, 

but your scores are captured 

together in team matches, 

so there’s a team component to 

it that’s very exciting. 

“That kid who maybe 

doesn’t love baseball or football 

but wants to have more of a 

A busy time for city legislators 

conversations with my own police 

officers in Peabody,” he said. 

“Something that is a small thing in 

the whole scheme of things is just 

another tool that may help some 

people.” 

Walsh is also sponsoring or 

co-sponsoring bills to require critical 

incident drills in public schools 

and prevent deceptive calling 

practices by the telemarketing industry. 

Financial planning is 

more important than ever…

The club is open to fencers 

ages 7 and up. Beginners to 

competitive fencers are welcome 

— no prior experience

“I love it. I’ve been doing it 

for 41 years,” Carter said. “It’s

STUDENT OF 

THE WEEK 

By Daniel Kane 

PEABODY — This week's 

student of the week has already 

started to settle into high school 

nicely after just one year at St. 

Mary's in Lynn. 

"It's been a great year as a 

freshman," Kyle Rush said. "The 

whole community at St. Mary's 

is great and welcoming." 

Rush moved to St. Mary's after 

attending St. John the Baptist 

School for most of his life. While 

life as a Spartan has brought on 

many new experiences, Kyle 

was fortunate to be able to attend 

his freshman year fully in person 

He fits right in at St. Mary’s 

despite the pandemic. 

"We've been in school every 

day since the first day of school 

and haven't had any COVID 

days," Rush said. "I think being 

in school with a mask and 

restrictions has been a lot better 

than any other option. It was a 

little different at the beginning 

with all the new rules but after 

some time you started to not 

even notice them. And now 

we’ve been able to start doing 

more normal things." 

In the classroom, Kyle is a 

history buff where he and his 

classmates have studied both 

World Wars right up to the modern 

day. 

"History is my favorite subject," 

Rush said. "It's definitely 

an interesting subject to study 

what has happened in the world." 

Algebra, biology, theology 

and Spanish are also part of his 

course load. He's also gotten the 

chance to take on some interesting 

electives in his first year. 

"I took two electives this 

year," Rush said. "The first was 

accounting , which was very interesting. 

It taught you what you 

need to be an accountant, things 

like liabilities and assets. Then 

there was Intro to Engineering 

and Design where we would use 

a software called Onshape to 

make a bunch of stuff and even 

get the chance to 3D print some 

things." 

But the classroom isn't where 

it stops for Kyle. Along with 

some community service one of 

his biggest passions is athletics 

and he's definitely got a full plate 

as an experienced basketball and 

baseball player. Rush also joined 

a very successful St. Mary's golf 

program earlier this fall. 

"It was my first year playing 

competitive golf," Rush said. "I 

wanted to try something new 

instead of cross country which 

is what I had done in the past. I 

ended up being one of the top 10 

or so golfers on the team most 

matches." 

St. Mary's, who was coming 

off a string of which state championships, 

also won the Catholic 

Central League title once again 

this year. While Kyle might not 

have been one of the top five 

players who participated just 

yet, he soaked in as much as he 

could. 

"Being around those guys 

was great," Rush said. "One of 

big reasons I came to St. Mary's 

was for sports. Obviously academics 

always come first, but 

I've always been an athlete. It's 

already been a great experience 

here with the people I’ve met. 

There's a real competitive nature 

that's been good to be a part of."

Headmaster Edward P. 

Hardiman, Ph.D. conferred 

diplomas upon 258 graduates 

during an outdoor, socially-distanced 

ceremony held on 

Cronin Memorial Stadium’s 

Glatz Field. 

“There are no appropriate 

words that could aptly capture 

what each person in this stadium 

has experienced since 2:45 pm 

on March 12 of 2020 (due to 

the Commonwealth’s state of 

emergency declaration),” said 

Dr. Hardiman, adding that the 

class was the first since 1948 to 

include students who started as 

seventh graders. 

“It would be foolhardy to attempt 

to summarize this experience, 

given that each of you has 

endured this public health crisis 

in different ways, with different 

challenges and different outcomes,” 

Dr. Hardiman said. 

“While you each have different 

gifts, talents and experiences, 

you have made connections, 

built bridges and overcome obstacles, 

and you’ve done it beyond 

just the last 435 days. 

“It’s been an honor and a 

privilege to learn with you 

and from you throughout your 

time here. Keep building, keep 

dreaming, keep adapting, keep 

learning and always remember 

that you never walk alone. We 

are always with you.” 

Michael Maddison of 

Lynnfield was the class 

valedictorian. 

In his address, Maddison 

urged his classmates “to have 

the courage to be yourself.” 

He reflected on his belief that 

all new graduates need to open 

their hearts and their minds. 

“Who we all are is a mysterious 

mixture of the passions we 

choose and the identities we are 

born with,” said Maddison, who 

graduated St. John’s with a 4.73 

GPA and will attend Dartmouth 

College. 

“In my experience, many 

passions … are generally accepted. 

Identities are a bit 

trickier, since some identities 

are less accepted than others. 

We are multifaceted, but we are 

also completely in love with the 

things that make up our personalities. 

I leave you all with this: 

Make use of (life’s) moments 

— big and small — with everyone. 

Our diversity is a gift. 

Inclusivity is how we celebrate 

it.” 

Fifty-two percent of the graduates 

were members of the 

National Honor Society, while 

nine earned commendation as 

National Merit Scholars. A remarkable 

37 Eagles student 

athletes signed national letters 

of intent to continue their sports 

careers in college. 

This year’s seniors represented 

44 cities and towns 

across the Commonwealth, including 

as far south as Brighton, 

as far west as Westford, and 

as far north as Newburyport. 

There were seven international 

students. 

Family was a prominent 

theme, as there were 28 legacy 

graduates and many others with 

familial connections. 

“My son, Jack, graduated 

here in 2017, my son, Thomas, 

received his diploma today, 

and my nephew will graduate 

next year,” said Brenda Ligh 

of Peabody. “This has been a 

tremendously difficult time for 

so many more people than just 

those in this school community, 

but having an opportunity 

to come together and share in 

these graduates’ experience 

as they close one chapter and 

begin another is something that 

I think we all cherish, especially 

because there was no guarantee 

an in-person graduation would 

ever happen.” 

Marblehead’s Sean Heffernan 

and Lynnfield’s Andrew 

Vittiglio received Loyalty and 

Service awards during a virtual 

Senior Awards ceremony 

held earlier this month. Salem’s 

Noah Thomas received the 

Paul “Buster” DiVincenzo ‘50 

Athletic Director’s Award. 

Peabody’s Nicholas Fursey 

received the Sean Lynch ‘85 

Scholarship Award, while 

Maddison received a Stephen 

J. Kiely ’68 Scholarship Award. 

The top 5 percent of the senior 

class in academic performance 

(in addition to Maddison) 

included Nolan Adam of 

Marblehead and Mark Zolott 

of Swampscott. At Friday’s 

Baccalaureate Liturgy, Adam 

was recognized with a Campus 

Ministry Award. 

St. John’s Prep will hold a 

limited-admission eighth-grade 

promotion ceremony for the 

Class of 2025 on June 3. The 

event will serve to recognize the 

class’s 113 students’ resilience, 

leadership and focus throughout 

this school year as well as 

honor individual and collective 

achievements.

Tanners notch big win 

over NEC foe Winthrop 

BASEBALL 

By Mike Alongi 

The Peabody baseball 

team couldn’t stop hitting on 

Wednesday afternoon, rolling 

to a 20-9 win over Northeastern 

Conference foe Winthrop on 

the road at Little League Field. 

Three Tanners combined for 

an impressive 11 RBI in the 

victory, with Juan Tolentino 

having the biggest day after 

going 4-for-6 with four RBI. 

Cam Cuzzi went 2-for-3 

with four RBI and four runs 

scored, while Ryan Knight 

had a 3-for-3 day with three 

RBI and two runs scored. Nick 

Villano (3-for-6) and Giovani 

Guglielmo (3-for-4) each 

added three hits and three runs 

scored in the win. 

On the mound, it was Dom 

Annese who picked up the 

victory. Annese pitched four 

scoreless innings, allowing 

just one hit and notching six 

strikeouts.

BASEBALL 


The Bishop Fenwick baseball 

team had a busy weekend, 

splitting a pair of Catholic 

Central League games against 

a pair of quality opponents. 

After falling to Bishop Stang 

8-2 on Saturday, the Crusaders 

followed it up with a key 8-1 

win over a strong Bishop 

Feehan team on Sunday. 

The star of Sunday’s game 

was Christian Loescher, who 

earned the win on the mound 

after tossing 6 1/3 innings and 

allowing just one run on one 

hit with two strikeouts. He also 

contributed heavily at the plate, 

going 2-for-3 with three RBI. 

Also performing well in 

Sunday’s win were Scott 

Emerson (2-for-2, two RBI), 

Dan Reddick (1-for-3, two 

RBI) and Alex Gonzalez (3- 

for-3, three runs scored). 

On Saturday, Gonzalez paced 

the offense after going 1-for-4 

with two RBI. Anthony Marino 

took the loss on the mound 

after pitching 4 1/3 innings and 

five runs (one earned) on four 

hits with five strikeouts. 

Fenwick (6-4) has nearly a 

full week off before traveling 

to Winthrop for a doubleheader 

on Saturday (10 and 2). 

SOFTBALL 


MARBLEHEAD — 

Wednesday’s game between the 

Peabody and Marblehead softball 

teams was as tight as they 

come, but in the end the Tanners 

scored the lone run to earn the 

1-0 road victory and stay unbeaten 

on the year. 

“It definitely could have 

gone either way (Wednesday),” 

Peabody coach Tawny Palmieri 

said. “We always know that 

Marblehead gives us a good 

game every time. These two 

teams are always putting together 

that type of game. We had 

to be ready and we had to be the 

team that came out getting that 

one run.” 

That run came early in the 

second, when a Marblehead 

error put Logan Lomasney at 

first base. Lomasney stole a pair 

of bases and Michaela Bonfanti 

laced a single up the middle to 

earn the game’s only RBI. 

“The bottom of the order 

did really well,” Palmieri said. 

“They executed when they 

needed to and manufactured 

things when we needed to and 

that was great to see.” 

Emma Bloom and Penny 

Spack each went 2-for-4 at the 

plate, while Kiley Doolin was 

1-for-2 with a walk. 

But the real star was Peabody’s 

defense. Abby Bettencourt 

pitched well once again with 

nine strikeouts. Between her 

and a solid Peabody defense, 

the Tanners got out of any jams 

Marblehead forced them into. 

“Abby’s pitching is unbelievable 

because when you need 

her to get that third out, she gets 

it done,” Palmieri said. “You 

couldn’t ask for anything more. 

The defense behind her was 

solid though. Everybody was 

picking each other up and it was 

an all-around solid performance 

by both teams.” 

Marblehead also had plenty 

of defensive highlights, but 

stranded a few too many baserunners 

to even the score 

throughout the day. Pitcher 

Lauren Donovan had eight 

strikeouts, with Peabody’s only 

run going unearned. 

“(Peabody) made no mistakes 

defensively,” Marblehead coach 

Johnny Gold said. “We made a 

few. We have some young kids 

in new places, but no excuses. 

(Donovan) has done unbelievable 

all year. She did what 

she does and she got us out of 

trouble. We left eight runners on 

and that hurts. We have to learn 

to produce.” 

But the Magicians didn’t 

have many chances to produce 

anything in the early going. 

Bettencourt struck out a pair 

of batters in two of the first 

three innings to help silence the 

Marblehead bats. 

After Lomasney and 

Bonfanti put the Tanners on top, 

Marblehead had multiple runners 

on base in the fourth, fifth 

and sixth innings, but struggled 

to slip that extra hit through 

Peabody’s defense. 

In the seventh, Leila Walton 

reached on a single and moved 

to second after a sac bunt from 

Dylan Kerble. But Peabody shut 

the door with a strikeout from 

Bettencourt and a forced fly ball 

putout to secure the win.

BOYS LACROSSE 


PEABODY — The 

Marblehead lacrosse team 

put together the right game 

plan and executed it to the 

fullest on Saturday, notching 

a 13-6 win over Northeastern 

Conference foe Peabody in a 

battle of previously undefeated 

teams at Coley Lee Field. The 

Magicians had to withstand 

a couple of rallies from the 

Tanners, but a string of five 

unanswered goals at the end of 

the third and beginning of the 

fourth quarter sealed the deal. 

A key part of the game plan 

for Marblehead was shutting 

down high-scoring Peabody 

attack Jack Houlden -- the 

top goal scorer in the North 

Shore entering the game. 

The Magicians did just that, 

keeping Houlden to just one 

goal on the day. 

“A lot of their stuff runs 

through Houlden, and he’s a 

great ballplayer who can shoot 

the lights out,” said Wilkens. 

“It was a tough game and I’m 

proud of the way our guys dug 

down deep on a hot day and 

pulled out the win.” 

“We expected the heavy eyes 

on Jack, but the bottom line is 

that we just didn’t execute out 

there,” said Peabody coach Leo 

Shidler. “Credit to Marblehead, 

they came with the right game 

plan and they played well all 

day.” 

Will Shull led the way with 

four goals in the victory, while 

Matt Thompson scored three 

goals. Josh Robertson and 

Mark Paquette each added two 

goals. Connor Cronin had one 

goal and two assists, while 

Carter Laramie had one goal 

and one assist. 

But a big part of the story 

was Marblehead goalie J.T. 

Monahan, who made 12 saves 

against a normally highscoring 

Peabody team. 

“J.T. is tough and he’s a 

great goaltender, and I think 

he’s very underrated,” said 

Wilkens. “He’s a gamer. He’s 

a great three-sport athlete, a 

true leader and the guys love 

playing in front of him.” 

For the Tanners, Cam Collins 

and Keenan Madden each 

scored two goals. Anthony 

Bettencourt had one goal and 

one assist, while Houlden 

scored one goal. Drew Lucas 

and Luke Buckley each added 

one assist, while goalie Derek 

Patturelli made eight saves. 

“We had some really 

good looks (Saturday), but 

Marblehead is solid all around 

and there’s nothing we could 

really attack,” said Shidler. 

“We needed to play a perfect 

game, and we were anything 

but that in this one.” 

It was a back-and-forth affair 

to start, with Shull getting 

Marblehead on the board 

less than three minutes into 

the game to take a 1-0 lead. 

Peabody responded three 

minutes later when Lucas hit 

Bettencourt for a goal to tie it 

at 1-1, but a quick strike from 

Thompson gave the Magicians 

a 2-1 lead at the end of the first 

quarter. 

Marblehead stretched its 

lead to 4-1 in the second 

thanks to one goal each from 

Shull and Robertson, but then 

the Tanners notched two goals 

in a 22-second span to all of a 

sudden make it a 4-3 game. 

But a defensive breakdown 

by Peabody with about four 

minutes to go led to a breakaway 

goal for Thompson, and 

the Magicians were able to 

add two more goals in the final 

three minutes to take a 7-3 lead 

into halftime. 

After Marblehead opened 

the third quarter with a goal 

from Paquette, Peabody scored 

back-to-back goals and appeared 

to be making another 

run. But then, behind a run of 

five unanswered goals in a span 

of 12 minutes, Marblehead 

took control of the game and 

cruised to a victory. 

“Lacrosse is a game of runs, 

and it was a good sign that 

our guys didn’t ever pack it 

in and they never let up,” said 

Wilkens. 

Peabody (6-1) will try to 

get back to its winning ways 

Thursday (5) against Danvers. 

“The boys will learn from 

this one, because a lot of them 

have never played in a big 

game like this,” said Shidler. 

“We can learn from a lot of 

things in this game, and I know 

they’ll be itching for another 

crack at these guys at the end 

of the year.” 

Marblehead (7-0) will try to 

keep its unbeaten streak alive 

Thursday afternoon (4) with a 

road game against Saugus.

BOYS LACROSSE 


PEABODY — An eight-goal 

second half was the difference 

for the St. Mary’s boys lacrosse 

team Monday in an 11-8 win 

over rival Bishop Fenwick on 

the road at Donaldson Stadium. 

It didn’t always look good 

for the Spartans in a back-andforth 

Catholic Central League 

bout, but after going down 7-6 

early in the fourth quarter, St. 

Mary’s flipped a switch and 

took things over. 

Despite the loss, Fenwick 

had its fair share of leads and 

opportunities but struggled to 

sustain momentum. 

“They gave us a ton of opportunities 

but unfortunately 

we had a lot of unforced errors 

and possession where we 

just could not capitalize on the 

stuff that we’re supposed to,” 

Fenwick coach Steve Driscoll 

said. “Ground balls win games. 

If you can’t pick up a ground 

ball, you can’t win the game. 

That’s definitely something 

that we need to focus on.” 

Liam Hill led the way

with five goals, while Aiden 

Anthony also stepped up with

“Aiden really stepped up,” 

Driscoll said. “He’s had a bum 

ankle which has been hurting 

him this season. It’s been hard 

for him to get in motion. The 

last couple games he’s really 

started to put things together 

and push it. It’s been great to 

have him and it will help us 

down the stretch having him 

and Liam working together.” 

Both teams traded goals in 

the first half, but Fenwick took 

a 4-3 lead into the halftime 

break. 

The Crusaders bumped their 

lead up to two in the third, but 

Jackson Field followed with 

a pair of goals and another by 

Barden put St. Mary’s ahead 

6-5. 

Hill gave Fenwick its final 

push with a pair of goals next 

to take back the lead, but St. 

Mary’s didn’t look back from 

there. 

Both teams have some time 

off before returning to the field. 

Fenwick (3-4) is at Matignon 

Monday (TBD).

Teeing up honors for students 


PEABODY — There may 

not have been golf, but there 

were smiles all around at Salem 

Country Club Monday as the 

club celebrated its 27th annual 

Peabody Golf Day. 

Eight high-school seniors 

were honored as 2021 Joseph 

O’ Boyle Memorial Scholarship 

Fund scholars. 

“We were impressed by the 

number of applications, and it’s 

a tough decision, as always,” 

said Memorial Scholarship 

Fund Co-chairman and member 

Steve Richards. “These students 

are so talented and they 

have worked so hard, so this is 

our opportunity to give back.” 

In normal times, the event, 

now in its 27th year, includes 

a double-shotgun golf tournament 

open to residents and employees 

of the City of Peabody, 

with proceeds used to fund the 

scholarships. 

But these are not normal 

times. 

“We were disappointed that 

golf had to be canceled again, 

but we still wanted to be able 

to support and honor the kids,” 

said Richards. “We wish all of 

them the best knowing they are 

very well-equipped to succeed. 

They will make their families, 

the city of Peabody, and Salem 

C.C. very proud.” 

The scholarships are for 

college-bound seniors who 

reside in Peabody, attend either 

Peabody High or Bishop 

Fenwick and have excelled in 

leadership, athletics, academics 

and community service. A 

total of $30,000 was awarded, 

bringing the total to more than 

$400,000 awarded in the fund’s 

history. 

This year’s scholars are 

Peabody High’s Olivia Barrete, 

Lily Bromberger, Sophie Izzo 

and Amber Kiricoples, and 

Fenwick’s Colby Browne, Cade 

Buckley, Aidan Dwyer and 

Hannah Johnson. 

Barrete is a top-five ranked 

student and vice president of the 

National Honor Society (NHS). 

A member of the Massachusetts 

DECA executive board, she 

competed in community service, 

entrepreneurship and innovation 

categories at the state 

level. 

She tutored math, played 

volleyball, ran indoor track 

and has supported the Big 

Buddies program. She will attend 

Northeastern University, 

majoring in mathematics and 

business administration. 

“I am incredibly honored 

to receive this scholarship,” 

Barrete said. “This will make 

a huge difference in paying for 

my college education.” 

Bromberger, also a top-five 

student, will attend Worcester 

Polytechnic Institute, where she 

plans to major in engineering. 

She was on the swim and field 

hockey teams, played in the 

school band and was part of the 

Youth Advisory Council. She 

was a member of the Air Force 

Junior ROTC and volunteered 

at Haven From Hunger. 

Johnson, another top student, 

has actively volunteered 

with the Jimmy Fund, helping 

to create the fund’s “Back to 

School” video. The video helps 

cancer patients adjust to going 

back to school and also helps 

support administrators on how 

to successfully acclimate patients 

back into the school 

environment. 

Johnson is also active with 

“Teen Chats,” a program that 

discusses multiple topics that 

teens may be dealing with as 

they go through treatment. 

Johnson, peer mentor, leader 

and member of the volleyball 

team, will study nursing at 

Emmanuel College. 

Browne will attend High 

Point University and major in 

business administration. He 

played football, basketball, ran 

track and was active in student 

government. He was involved 

with the Best Buddies program 

and was active in several school 

fund-raising events. 

Izzo played four years of varsity 

lacrosse and field hockey. 

She was a member of the Ski 

Club, National Honor Society 

and the International Club, and 

plans to major in health sciences 

at the University of Vermont. 

Kiricoples, co-president of 

the senior class, will attend 

Bentley University and play 

soccer. She is a member of the 

National Honor Society, threesport 

captain in soccer, basketball, 

and lacrosse, and was 

named the 2020 Essex Media 

Group Person of the Year for 

Peabody. For the latter, she was 

recognized for conducting numerous 

community events to 

raise awareness of the importance 

of mental health. She has 

also been an active participant 

on the Student Youth Advisory 

Council. 

Buckley will attend St. 

Joseph’s College in Maine 

where he plans to major in 

business administration/sports 

management and play on 

the golf team. The four-year 

member of the Crusaders’ golf 

team has also played basketball 

during his high school career. 

Buckley’s community service 

includes volunteering with the 

Stock Club and My Brother’s 

Table, a soup kitchen in Lynn. 

Dwyer will attend Xavier 

University where he plans to 

major in business administration. 

The three-sport captain (indoor 

and outdoor track, soccer), 

has earned Central Catholic 

Conference All-Star honors in 

soccer. This spring, he joined 

the football team as a placekicker. 

He volunteered with St. 

John the Baptist, Best Buddies, 

Fenwick’s Good Friday Walk, 

and the Dominican Republic 

Mission Trip to the Caribbean. 

For Browne, being named an 

O’Boyle scholar speaks volumes 

about the club’s commitment 

to the city. 

“I really appreciate the award, 

but it goes beyond the money,” 

Browne said. “I grew up in 

Peabody schools before going 

to Fenwick. We always talk 

about the meaning of Peabody 

pride. That’s what this is and I 

am grateful.”

RELOCATING? 

“Helpful tips” 

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

trouble-free move! 

Designate a drawer for 

essentials such as 

sheets and towels for 

quick access the first 

night you move into 

your new home. 

Plan a garage/yard 

sale before you move. 

Fresh coffee, baking 

soda, or charcoal in a 

sock, placed inside 

your refrigerator will 

keep the inside smelling 

fresh and clean. 

Pack your current 

phone book — it’s a 

quick easy reference to 

the folks back home.
