Alchemy is the latest new restaurant<br />
to open at MarketStreet.<br />
Owned and operated by the<br />
North Shore’s Serenitee Restaurant<br />
Group, the restaurant hosted an invitation-only<br />
grand opening Monday<br />
night to show off its newly-designed<br />
interior and exterior spaces. Based<br />
on the response of the crowd who attended,<br />

“You can see tonight, that this is<br />
the place to meet, place to hang out<br />

“We’re very excited about teaming<br />
up with WS (Development) on this<br />
project and being here in this space.”<br />
Manager Seth Freidus agreed.<br />
“To see so many familiar friends<br />
and families here tonight is just what<br />
we had hoped we’d see,” he said. “It<br />

Be it golf, finance, photography,<br />

bass angler Gene Ellison —<br />
aka “The Fishing Machine” — seemingly<br />
does it all.<br />
Since turning pro in 1999, Ellison<br />

most enthusiastic and successful<br />

national, regional and local fishing<br />
tournaments every year, he is equally<br />
active organizing and conducting youth<br />
clinics to introduce kids to the sport.<br />
Ellison was doing just that at Crystal<br />
Lake in Peabody last month as the<br />
lead instructor at the city’s “Let’s Go<br />
Fishing at Crystal Lake” clinic, which<br />
was held in recognition of the National<br />
Park Trust’s 11th annual Kids to Parks<br />
Day — a day that promotes awareness<br />
of the benefits of outdoor play.<br />
“Kids love to catch big fish, but the<br />
reality is fishing is an activity for everyone<br />
in all walks of life,” Ellison<br />
said. “It’s not expensive, so lower-income<br />
families, single-mom families<br />
(and) men and women of all ages can<br />
fish. With these programs, not only<br />
do people learn how to fish, it looks<br />
to connect people with their kids. It’s<br />
quality time for families, even if it’s<br />
only 20 to 30 minutes.”<br />

anti-Semitic<br />
vandalism<br />
By Anne MArie ToBin<br />
LYNNFIELD — Residents are outraged<br />
following the discovery of anti-Semitic<br />
graffiti Wednesday at Glen Meadow<br />
Park.<br />
Town officials were alerted to the<br />
hateful vandalism that morning. It included<br />
a swastika, the name “Hitler,” and<br />
an obscene image.<br />
In the days that followed, residents condemned<br />
the images on social media, with<br />
many expressing their disgust that a town<br />
park could be defaced in such a way.<br />
“I’m so disgusted and disappointed<br />
… again,” wrote one user, Heather<br />
McDonald Rose.<br />
“So disheartened to see another act of<br />
hate in town. My family and many others<br />
died under this symbol,” added Kathryn<br />
Ramer Price. “The second time this year<br />
that the use of this symbol has happened<br />
— and only one month ago was (there)<br />
the use of a slur to young children in an<br />
awful encounter at MarketStreet. This has<br />
to stop!”<br />

From page 1<br />
called the vandalism “absolutely<br />
disgusting,” while Susan<br />
Mantarazzo Abrego had a<br />
simple query.<br />
“What is wrong with people?”<br />
Mantarazzo Abrego said,<br />
adding: “I am so disappointed<br />
that these actions occurred in<br />
our town.”<br />
While the community continues<br />
to react, Select Board<br />
Chair Dick Dalton added his<br />
own thoughts about the matter<br />
on Friday.<br />
“We are better than this and<br />
the proof of that is the reaction<br />
in the community,” he said.<br />
“People are really disturbed by<br />
it. Whether it be the town or the<br />
state or the country, you can’t<br />
judge based on a very, very<br />
small minority. There are too<br />
many people in this town who<br />
are genuinely upset by these incidents<br />
of the last few weeks.<br />
“The bottom line is this is<br />
inexcusable behavior and will<br />
not be tolerated in the town of<br />
Lynnfield.”<br />
Police were immediately notified<br />
of the incident. After the<br />
scene was documented by police,<br />
the Department of Public<br />
Works painted over the offensive<br />
images.<br />
In a statement released by the<br />
town that day, town officials<br />
said they were confident that<br />
the Police Department would<br />
identify the perpetrator(s), and<br />
hold them accountable.<br />
“The town of Lynnfield will<br />
not tolerate hate speech and<br />
discrimination and, as town officials<br />
we condemn all acts that<br />
would seek to glorify the unspeakable<br />
atrocities committed<br />
under the Nazi regime against<br />

the Jewish community and other<br />

attempt to extend its legacy of<br />
hate,” the statement said.<br />
Wednesday’s incident continues<br />
a string of hateful, racebased<br />
crimes in the town. Last<br />
month, two young brothers<br />
were verbally assaulted at<br />
MarketStreet with the “n” word.<br />
Other racial slurs were hurled at<br />
the boys after a failed attempt to<br />
steal their candy.<br />
“I know that family (of the<br />
victims) and it is a wonderful<br />
family, but nobody is deserving<br />
of that, nobody,” said Dalton.<br />
“It’s shameful, as children don’t<br />
grow up with this hate being<br />
a natural thought process. It’s<br />
inherited, and shame on those<br />
parents.”<br />
Last summer, “Black Lives<br />
Matter” signs were stolen from<br />
the homes of multiple residents.<br />
Vandalism accompanied some<br />
of the thefts. After an intensive<br />
investigation, a father and<br />
son were arrested and charged<br />
under the hate crimes statute.<br />
The latest crime is under investigation.<br />
Police are asking<br />
anyone with information<br />
about this week’s incident to<br />
call the Police Department at<br />
781-334-3131.<br />
“We continue to state in the<br />
strongest terms possible that<br />
these shameful acts are unacceptable<br />
and are contrary to all<br />
we stand for as a community,”<br />
the town statement said. “We<br />
thank the residents of Lynnfield<br />
for standing together against<br />

weather conditions. His go-to<br />
lures include crankbaits, jigs,<br />
drop shots, Carolina rigs, swimbaits<br />
and Texas Rigs. His favorite<br />
species are largemouth<br />
and smallmouth bass.<br />
Ellison’s favorite fishing<br />
hole? Lake Champlain.<br />
“I fish the entire lake but my<br />
favorite is the Vermont side,<br />
the area south of the Crown<br />
Point Bridge, then down to<br />
Ticonderoga on the New York<br />
side,” Ellison said. “The lake<br />
has a remarkable number of<br />
species.”<br />
He said he also loves fishing<br />
New Hampshire’s Lake<br />
Winnipesaukee and Sebago<br />
Lake in Maine. Locally, Ellison<br />
can also be found fishing on<br />
Martins Pond in neighboring<br />
North Reading.<br />
A native of Somerville,<br />
Ellison’s family moved to Dover<br />
when he was in elementary<br />
school. After graduating from<br />
Dover-Sherborn Regional High<br />
School in 1978, he obtained a<br />
Bachelor of Science in fine art<br />
photography from Fitchburg<br />
State College in 1982, where<br />
he played on the men’s soccer<br />
team. Shortly after graduating<br />
from Fitchburg, he had the opportunity<br />
of a lifetime to study<br />
under noted photographer Ansel<br />
Adams in Carmel, Calif.<br />
“It was great to study under<br />
him, really just an incredible<br />
experience to have been able<br />
to work with him for several<br />
months,” Ellison said.<br />
Ellison caught the golf bug<br />
while in his 20s, playing competitive<br />
golf until 1998; most<br />
of his rounds took place at the<br />
Walpole Country Club where<br />
he was a member of the club’s<br />
board of directors.<br />
Ellison is the founder of<br />
the Professional Anglers<br />
Association (PAA) Texas Bass<br />
Classic on Lake Fork in Texas,<br />
which is considered one of the<br />
country’s premier trophy bass<br />
lakes.<br />
“PAA is about uniting professional<br />
tournament anglers and<br />
taking them to the next level,”<br />
said Ellison. “It is also about<br />
conservation and growing the<br />
sport, especially for our youth.”<br />
Ellison’s efforts to promote<br />
the sport have been recognized<br />
by several organizations.<br />
In 2007, he was elected to the<br />
Bass Fishing Hall of Fame’s<br />
Board of Directors. He received<br />
the inaugural PAA Lifetime<br />
Achievement Award in 2015,<br />
which was presented to him that<br />
same year at the PAA Corporate<br />
Cup Awards Dinner in Florence,<br />
Ala.<br />
“This award represents the<br />
highest achievement in professional<br />
bass fishing, and we do<br />
not plan on handing this award<br />
out on a regular basis,” PAA<br />
Executive Board member Tim<br />
Horton said during the presentation.<br />
“As the first recipient<br />
of this award, we want to<br />
recognize Gene’s unparalleled<br />
commitment to building and<br />
then guiding the Professional<br />
Anglers Association, growing<br />
the sport of bass fishing, introducing<br />
children and families to<br />
our sport, as well as his devotion<br />
to conservation efforts and<br />
his performance as a successful<br />
tournament angler.”<br />
Ellison, a former PAA executive<br />
director, has also received<br />
the B.A.S.S. Federation<br />
Dedication to Children Award<br />
(2010). A youth hockey<br />
coach for more than 25 years,<br />
Ellison received the CAN-AM<br />
Challenge Cup Fair Play<br />
Sportsmanship Award (2001)<br />
and the New England College<br />
Development League Coach of<br />
the Year Award (2000).<br />
Ellison represents several<br />
major fishing and boating companies,<br />
too: Bass Pro Shops,<br />
Mercury Marine, Berkley and<br />
Nitro Performance Fishing<br />
Boats. He displays a myriad of<br />
their logos on his fishing shirts,<br />
NASCAR style.<br />
Ellison also carved out a career<br />
as a financial/insurance<br />
advisor. Even in the suit-and-tie<br />
world of business, Ellison<br />
managed to find a way to lure<br />
more families into fishing<br />
with numerous corporate-supported,<br />
family-friendly fishing<br />
festivals.<br />
“I’ve done a lot of things, but<br />
my passion right now is outdoor<br />
sports,” Ellison said. “Whether<br />
it’s camping, kayaking, fishing,<br />
birding, I want to help kids develop<br />
a lifetime love of outdoor<br />
life. I want to reach out to kids<br />
everywhere, especially minority<br />
communities, so they know that<br />
there are so many benefits to<br />
being outdoors and away from<br />
their technology even if just for<br />
a half hour a day.”<br />
Ellison and his wife, Kate,<br />
have three children: daughters<br />
Colleen and Julie, and son<br />
Phillip.

lot for the first time.”<br />
Alchemy’s menu features creative,<br />
seasonal New American<br />
cuisine and craft cocktails, all in<br />
a casual, family-friendly setting<br />
complete with a sleek sushi bar,<br />
indoor and outdoor seating and<br />
bars with jumbo TVs.<br />
Alchemy is one of the largest<br />
of the 11 restaurants in the<br />
Serenitee Group, with seating<br />
for up to 297 diners. Other<br />
restaurants in the group include<br />
Minglewood Harborside<br />
in Gloucester, 15 Walnut<br />
Tavern in South Hamilton,<br />
Hale Street Tavern in Beverly,<br />
Cala’s in Manchester-bythe-Sea,<br />
Opus in Salem, The<br />
Spot in Georgetown, The Spot<br />
in Winchester, Maggie’s Farm<br />
and Chanco’s in Middleton<br />
and the Little Red Rooster in<br />
Gloucester, which is currently<br />
closed but will be reopening in<br />
the fall.<br />
Freidus promises the<br />
Lynnfield location will feature a<br />
vibrant new look and fresh take<br />
on its menu.<br />
“The menu will have New<br />
England/American comfort<br />
classics with big, bold flavors<br />
that are globally inspired,” said<br />
Freidus.<br />
Located on the site of the<br />
former Gaslight Restaurant, the<br />
restaurant has approximately<br />
8,300 square feet in all: about<br />
2,200 feet of outdoor space,<br />
6,400 indoor (including the<br />
kitchen area) and about 4,400-<br />
4,500 square feet comprising<br />
the dining area. In terms of<br />
occupancy, there will be 194<br />
spaces inside and 103 outside.<br />
“This space is one of the nicest<br />
locations on the MarketStreet<br />
property,” said MarketStreet<br />
Marketing Manager Annie<br />
Healey. “After Gaslight closed,<br />

use and that’s what my team<br />
found in Alchemy.”<br />
Lynnfield Select Board<br />
Chair Dick Dalton and his wife<br />
Carmela Dalton were enjoying<br />
the festivities with fellow board<br />
member Phil Crawford.<br />
“It’s nice to add to the<br />
MarketStreet mix and nice to<br />
see this wonderful space getting<br />
a nice buildout,” Crawford<br />
said. “I was curious to see what<br />
you were going to do with the<br />
building, and the sushi bar is a<br />
nice addition to the mix. This is<br />
great, the food, the atmosphere,<br />
everything is just great.”<br />
Cala said the inspiration for<br />
the restaurant’s name came from<br />
the novel, “The Alchemist” by<br />
Paulo Coelho.<br />
“A large part came from<br />
the book,” said Cala. “It all<br />
came together when Mark<br />
[McDonough] and I visited<br />
the original Alchemy space in<br />
Gloucester. We were transitioning<br />
the raw, homey, locally-loved<br />
space into something<br />
that was fun, but cutting edge<br />
for the time. We were following<br />
our dream and going for it; it<br />
just made sense.<br />
Cala said Alchemy is all<br />
about family.<br />
“Alchemy was built on a<br />
staff that became a family, with<br />
a vibe that was all about comfort<br />
and fun, and menus that<br />
were created with love and the<br />
idea of adventure,” he said.<br />
“This restaurant will become a<br />
community beehive, the place<br />
to go to see old friends, make<br />
new friends, enjoy your family<br />
while enjoying some of the<br />
best food and beverages on the<br />
North Shore.<br />
“During the crazy, crazy<br />
times over the past year we all<br />
needed something to look forward<br />
to, and for the Serenitee<br />
Restaurant Group, it has been<br />
Alchemy.”<br />
Lynnfield Senior Center<br />
returns to in-person activities<br />
By Allysha Dunnigan<br />
LYNNFIELD — Following<br />
a year of virtual programming,<br />
the Lynnfield Senior Center has<br />
opened its doors again to inperson<br />
events and gatherings.<br />
Most of the programs have<br />
returned, including exercise,<br />
yoga and art classes. The center<br />
is also running its usual day<br />
trips to locations including<br />
Boston and Kennebunkport and<br />
Ogunquit, Maine.<br />
Senior Center Director Linda<br />
Naccara said everyone is happy<br />
to be back, but there are still<br />
some mixed emotions.<br />
“For the first time this week,<br />
we have gotten a few calls<br />
from seniors saying they are<br />
concerned about the (Delta)<br />
variant, and are not going to<br />
be coming in for a while,”<br />
Naccara said. “But, for the<br />
most part, they are just thrilled<br />
to be back and be with their<br />
friends again.”<br />
The center is following the<br />
state guidelines regarding<br />
COVID-19, including asking<br />
people who are not vaccinated<br />
to continue wearing masks.<br />
Naccara said most of the seniors<br />
are vaccinated, but some<br />
opt to wear a mask either way.<br />
Masks are required on the<br />
center’s bus, which brings seniors<br />
to the grocery store and<br />
provides transportation for<br />
scheduled outings.<br />
The bus brought people to<br />
the grocery store throughout<br />
the height of the pandemic, but<br />
Naccara said that ever since<br />
vaccinations were introduced<br />
on a large scale, the bus is allowed<br />
to bring more people and<br />
partake in leisure rides.<br />
“We’re getting there,”<br />
Naccara said. “Let’s hope we<br />
can keep it up.”<br />
Naccara said since reopening,<br />
the center has not<br />
had any cases of COVID-19,<br />
nor have they had any “breakthroughs”<br />
— rare incidents of<br />
vaccinated individuals contracting<br />
the virus.<br />
“I worry about that everyday,”<br />
Naccara said. “But<br />
thankfully, we have been good<br />
since reopening.”<br />
Naccara said she is happy<br />
to be back in the center and to<br />
see everyone mingling, playing<br />
bridge and being able to catch<br />
up and exercise together again.

Overdrive and Libby vs. hoopla<br />
By ABBy Porter<br />
The Lynnfield Library has<br />
a lot of amazing online services<br />
and we love to tell you<br />
about them! Our two most popular<br />
services are hoopla and<br />
Overdrive/Libby, and for good<br />
reason. They both let you check<br />
out e-books and audiobooks<br />
(and more!) from anywhere in<br />
the world. Both of these services<br />
are excellent and we often<br />
get asked about the difference<br />
between them, so I thought I’d<br />
tell you all about them.<br />
Overdrive and Libby are<br />
basically the same service.<br />
However, they have different<br />
interfaces and you download<br />
different apps to use them. Both<br />
of these services allow you to<br />
check out e-books, audiobooks,<br />
magazines and videos. These<br />
e-materials function similarly<br />
to physical library books — the<br />
library owns a certain number<br />
of copies, so there may be a<br />
wait to get the book you want.<br />
Books have due dates and need<br />
to be placed on hold again or<br />
renewed if you haven’t finished<br />
them. Overdrive and Libby will<br />
remember where you stopped<br />
reading or listening, so when<br />
you get the book back, you can<br />
pick up right where you left<br />
off. You can make bookmarks<br />
and notes and read on any type<br />
of device, although some versions<br />
of certain books may not<br />
be available to certain devices.<br />
The app will let you know.<br />
Overdrive and Libby have a<br />
wider selection than hoopla.<br />
Plus, you can use your Lynnfield<br />
Library card to access the e-collections<br />
of any library system<br />
in Massachusetts! I highly recommend<br />
taking a look at the<br />
Boston Public Library’s collection,<br />
as they have a huge selection.<br />
You can also suggest titles<br />
for us to purchase for you.<br />
Libby is, in my opinion, a bit<br />
easier to use, so I always recommend<br />
that one. Navigating<br />
is smoother, the buttons are<br />
clearer and it downloads audiobooks<br />
entirely, rather than<br />
in chunks like Overdrive does.<br />
There is nothing worse than<br />
going for a walk or a road trip<br />
and discovering one part of your<br />
book didn’t download correctly<br />
and not being able to finish it!<br />
Also, when you return a book<br />
on Libby, you can tap a button<br />
and get an explosion of emoji<br />
flowers, which makes finishing<br />
a book even more fun. Just be<br />
warned, if you are currently<br />
using Overdrive and decide to<br />
switch to Libby, your holds will<br />
not carry over and vice versa!<br />
hoopla is equally great, but<br />
runs things a bit differently.<br />
They have e-books, audiobooks,<br />
movies, television show<br />
episodes, workout videos and<br />
music to check out on demand.<br />
You get 10 uses per month and,<br />
most importantly, everything is<br />
immediately available. There is<br />
no wait on anything, like you’d<br />
have with popular titles on<br />
Libby. You do have to read and<br />
listen through the app, rather<br />
than using your Kindle, and the<br />
selection is less comprehensive<br />
than Overdrive and Libby which<br />
will always have the most popular<br />
titles. If you have a Roku,<br />
you can also stream hoopla<br />
movies through your TV! It<br />
still has great options, such as<br />
many British crime shows and<br />
the latest Taylor Swift album.<br />
The graphic novel collection<br />
is also larger than Overdrive<br />
and Libby’s. You must have<br />
a Lynnfield Library card, as<br />
this service is only available to<br />
Lynnfield Library patrons.<br />
If you have questions about<br />
getting set up with either of<br />
these services, please email<br />
lfd@noblenet.org or call 781-<br />
334-5411. Our reference staff<br />

Lynnfield to<br />
Recognize<br />
To the editor:<br />
Each year on August 7th,<br />
Americans pause to remember<br />
and honor the brave men<br />
and women who were either<br />
wounded on the battlefield<br />
or paid the ultimate sacrifice<br />
with their lives. The Town of<br />
Lynnfield will recognize the 7th<br />
as Purple Heart Day and urge the<br />
people and organizations in town<br />
to display the American flag, as<br />
well as public expressions of<br />
recognition of our Purple Heart<br />
recipients. To recognize and<br />
honor Lynnfield’s Purple Heart<br />
recipients, as well as those from<br />
Purple<br />
Heart Day<br />
across our great country, we will<br />
project an image of the Purple<br />
Heart on the side of our Meeting<br />
House the evenings of August<br />
6th and 7th. When you drive by,<br />
please pause to commemorate<br />
Purple Heart Day and remember<br />
that there is a price for the freedoms<br />
we enjoy and honor is due<br />
to those who gave their all in defense<br />
of those freedoms. Join me<br />
in thanking all those who help<br />
make this day what it is: a day of<br />
observance for those who gave<br />
some, and some who gave all.<br />

To the editor:<br />
The recent anti-Semitic<br />
vandalism at Glen Meadow<br />
Park disturbed the residents<br />
of Lynnfield, including the<br />
members of the Lynnfield<br />
Democratic Town Committee.<br />
The LDTC stands in solidarity<br />
with town officials,<br />
town employees and citizens<br />
of Lynnfield in condemning<br />
this hateful conduct. Over the<br />
past several months we have<br />
witnessed acts of vandalism by<br />
LDTC<br />
denounces<br />
anti-Semitic<br />
vandalism<br />
a few against other groups as<br />
well. The perpetrators’ behavior<br />
does not represent the norms of<br />
decency and tolerance that personify<br />
what makes Lynnfield a<br />
welcoming community. These<br />
actions are not tolerable and the<br />
LDTC is thankful for the swift<br />
action of the Lynnfield Police<br />
Department and its continuing<br />
investigation.<br />

Locals compete at Northeast 7v7 tournament<br />
By Mike Alongi<br />
PEABODY — The first sign<br />
that a normal football season is<br />
on the horizon came over the<br />
weekend on the field at Bishop<br />
Fenwick’s Donaldson Stadium<br />
and the surrounding fields, as<br />
football programs from around<br />
the state showed up to compete<br />
in the Northeast 7v7 East<br />
Regional tournament Saturday<br />
afternoon. The annual 7-on-7,<br />
two-hand touch tournament<br />
saw 30 varsity teams compete<br />
across six pools before moving<br />
on to single elimination play,<br />
with 10 freshman/sophomore<br />
teams competing across two<br />
separate pools.<br />
In terms of the final results,<br />
Marblehead made it all the<br />
way to the tournament final<br />
before falling to Buckingham,<br />
Browne and Nichols by a score<br />
of 28-25. Marblehead quarterback<br />
Josh Robertson, who is<br />
about to enter his senior season<br />
under center, was one of the<br />
more impressive players at the<br />
tournament.<br />
In all, local teams from<br />
Fenwick, St. Mary’s, Lynn<br />
Classical, Lynn Tech,<br />
KIPP, Saugus, Swampscott,<br />
Marblehead, Peabody, Lynnfield,<br />
Revere and Winthrop all came<br />
to get some reps in at what is<br />
normally considered the unofficial<br />
opening of the high school<br />

Quarterback Nick Razzaboni throws a pass for team Lynnfield at the Northeast 7v7 East<br />
Regional tournament Saturday at Bishop Fenwick High School.<br />
football season.<br />
“I just like seeing the guys<br />
get out there and play and<br />
build camaraderie,” said KIPP<br />
coach Jim Rabbitt, whose program<br />
competed in the event for<br />
the first time. “Bonding starts<br />
taking place right here, and it<br />
kicks off the football season the<br />
right way.”<br />
Following the pool play portion<br />
of the day, things were set<br />
for the first round play-in games.<br />
In local action, Marblehead<br />
knocked off St. Mary’s and<br />
moved on to face Swampscott,<br />
which earned a first-round bye.<br />
The other two local teams to<br />
make it through — Peabody and<br />
Classical — both lost in the first<br />
round, with Peabody falling<br />
to Marshwood and Classical<br />
falling to Andover.<br />
The quarterfinal matchup<br />
between Marblehead and<br />
Swampscott was a doozy, with<br />
Marblehead edging out its<br />
Thanksgiving Day rival by a<br />
score of 13-12 after Robertson<br />
threw a 40-yard touchdown<br />
with 10 seconds remaining to<br />
win the game.<br />
The momentum carried right<br />
into the semifinal round, with<br />
Marblehead rolling to a 20-6<br />
win over Andover and setting<br />
up the final matchup with<br />
Buckingham, Browne and<br />
Nichols.<br />
While Marblehead did make<br />
a number of great plays in that<br />
final matchup, Buckingham,<br />
Browne and Nichols was just<br />
too strong behind the stellar<br />
play of star brothers Shane and<br />
Ronan Hanafin and took home<br />
the 28-25 victory.<br />
With training camp now<br />
less than a month away, this<br />
weekend was a first glimpse<br />
into what will hopefully be the<br />
first normal football season<br />
since 2019. Teams are allowed<br />
to begin camp on Friday, Aug.<br />
20.<br />

NBA superstar Antetokounmpo gets<br />
helping hand from a local source<br />
By Mike Alongi<br />
Kim Hughes-Floutsakos remembers<br />
the first time she met<br />
NBA superstar Giannis “The<br />
Greek Freak” Antetokounmpo.<br />
It was 2001 and the<br />
Swampscott native was teaching<br />
English in a suburban Athens<br />
private school called Athens<br />
College, and all of a sudden one<br />
of the male faculty members<br />
walked into her classroom with<br />
a tall, skinny 7-year-old.<br />
“Giannis wasn’t enrolled in<br />
the school at the time, but he<br />
was hanging out in front of the<br />
school’s gate and one of the<br />
men at the school just kind of<br />
assumed that he should be in<br />
school and brought him into<br />
my classroom,” said Hughes-<br />
Floutsakos, who is the daughter<br />
of the late Jim Hughes, a<br />
well-known Swampscott businessman<br />
and coach. “He and<br />
his family were very poor at the<br />
time, and we all did our best to<br />
help him out with things like<br />
clothes and food and whatever<br />
else we could give.”<br />
Antetokounmpo’s rise from<br />
son of impoverished immigrants<br />
to NBA superstar and<br />
champion with the Milwaukee<br />
Bucks is one of the most unlikely<br />
stories in all of sports,<br />
and Hughes-Floutsakos had a<br />
front row seat to the early days<br />
of that rise.<br />
But things were not easy for<br />
the Antetokounmpo family in<br />
Greece. For the first 18 years<br />
of his life, Antetokounmpo<br />
— who is now 26 years old<br />
— couldn’t travel outside the<br />
country and was effectively<br />
stateless, having no papers from<br />
Greece or Nigeria because, despite<br />
being born in Greece, he<br />
didn’t automatically receive<br />
Greek citizenship; Greek nationality<br />
law follows “jus sanguinis,”<br />
or determining one’s<br />
citizenship based on their parents’<br />
nationality. His parents’<br />
status as immigrants made it<br />
hard for them to find work,<br />
forcing Antetokounmpo and his<br />
brothers to help provide for the<br />
family.<br />
Despite all of the challenges,<br />
Hughes-Floutsakos remembers<br />
Antetokounmpo’s selflessness<br />
and determination to provide<br />
for his family above all else.<br />
“He was such a sweet boy,<br />
and he was also supporting his<br />
family at the time so he really<br />
grew up fast,” said Hughes-<br />
Floutsakos, who currently lives<br />
in Swampscott. “He would<br />
bring lunches from school<br />
home to his family and things<br />
like that, but he was also always<br />
such an outgoing, positive<br />
and smart person. He was just<br />
a really good kid through and<br />
through.”<br />
And she can’t remember a<br />
time when he wasn’t playing<br />
sports, especially basketball.<br />
“He was always a gifted<br />
athlete and he pretty much always<br />
played basketball,” said<br />
Hughes-Floutsakos. “He was so<br />
outgoing; he was always the one<br />
who was organizing the games<br />
and leading the other kids.”<br />
In her time teaching<br />
Antetokounmpo subjects like<br />
English, Greek and Arabic<br />
over the years, she came to<br />
know his family as well.<br />
Antetokounmpo’s father, who<br />
died at age 54 in 2017, was<br />
a former professional soccer<br />
player in Nigeria and his<br />
mother is a former high jumper.<br />
Three of Antetokounmpo’s four<br />
brothers — Thanasis, Kostas<br />
and Alex — are currently professional<br />
basketball players,<br />
with Thanasis right beside<br />
Giannis on the Bucks roster.<br />
“They’re an incredibly proud<br />
family and they’re so close,”<br />
said Hughes-Floutsakos. “Their<br />
mother is such an amazing<br />
woman and all of the kids have<br />
just become such great people.”<br />
Antetokounmpo was drafted<br />
15th overall by the Bucks in<br />
2013 — making him an instant<br />
millionaire. The stories of him<br />
sending all of his money back<br />
home to his family in Greece<br />
have been talked about since<br />
then, including the time when,<br />
in 2014, he sent so much money<br />
to his family that he didn’t have<br />
enough for cab fare from the<br />
Western Union to the arena for<br />
practice. He ran most of the<br />
way there in 20-degree weather<br />
before a local couple gave him a<br />
ride to the arena.<br />
In the eight years since he’s<br />
been drafted, Antetokounmpo<br />
has turned himself into the<br />
quintessential NBA superstar.<br />
And on Tuesday night, after<br />
defying the odds once more<br />
and taking home an NBA<br />
championship, the young man<br />
that Hughes-Floutsakos taught<br />
English to 20 years before stood<br />
in front of an international audience<br />
and spoke perfect English.<br />
“I mean, he’s just a superstar,”<br />
said Hughes-Floutsakos.<br />
“It’s so funny to look back at<br />
the young, skinny kid I knew all<br />
those years ago and then see him<br />
now with all he’s accomplished.<br />
“And it’s not even just what<br />
he’s done on the court, it’s what<br />
he’s done for the kids of Athens<br />
and other disadvantaged kids,”<br />
Hughes-Floutsakos said. “I’m<br />
just so proud of who he’s become,<br />
and I know everyone else<br />
in his life is just as proud.”<br />

Lynnfield’s Jen Flynn wrapped up her girls lacrosse season<br />
with a selection to the Item All-Star team.<br />
Lynnfield’s Flynn<br />
named Item All-Star<br />
for girls lacrosse<br />
By Mike Alongi<br />
Following a season that<br />
saw her both score her 200th<br />
career point and become the<br />
first Peabody girls lacrosse<br />
player to ever be named an<br />
All-American, Tanners senior<br />
Hailee Lomasney has been<br />
named the 2021 Item Player of<br />
the Year for girls lacrosse.<br />
Lomasney, who will be continuing<br />
her lacrosse career at<br />
Division I UMass-Lowell next<br />
season, was a massive contributor<br />
on the offensive end for<br />
the Tanners in 2021, scoring 47<br />
goals and dishing out a North<br />
Shore-leading 37 assists. Her<br />
200th career point came in a<br />
four-goal, five-assist performance<br />
against Beverly on June<br />
1. For her efforts, Lomasney<br />
— who also had a seven-assist<br />
game during the 2021 season<br />
— was named Northeastern<br />
Conference Player of the Year.<br />
She was also an NEC all-conference<br />
pick as a sophomore<br />
before her junior season was<br />
canceled due to the pandemic.<br />
But her biggest accolade came<br />
from USA Lacrosse, which<br />
named her an All-American and<br />
one of the top players in the entire<br />
country.<br />
There were also five players<br />
named to the 2021 All-Item<br />
Team for girls lacrosse in Amber<br />
Kiricoples, Olivia Lavalle<br />
(Peabody); Karina Gyllenhaal<br />
(Bishop Fenwick); Elizabeth<br />
Driscoll (Marblehead); and<br />
Harper Clopton (Swampscott).<br />
Kiricoples was right next<br />
to Lomasney on the field and<br />
on the scoresheet, leading the<br />
team in goals with 50. With<br />
the addition of her 20 assists<br />
and win percentage of .670 on<br />
draws, Kiricoples earned NEC<br />
all-conference honors in her<br />
final season with the Tanners.<br />
She will be playing her college<br />
lacrosse at Bentley University<br />
beginning next season.<br />
Lavalle was the other stalwart<br />
for Peabody this year,<br />
holding down the back end<br />
and making more saves (177)<br />
than anyone else on the North<br />
Shore. The third member of this<br />
year’s Peabody team to earn<br />
all-conference recognition in<br />
the NEC, Lavalle put up a save<br />
percentage of .700 and allowed<br />
fewer than six goals per game<br />
on average.<br />
Gyllenhaal was one of the<br />
best scorers on the North Shore<br />
this season, notching 49 goals in<br />
addition to 19 assists. A junior<br />
captain, Gyllenhaal was named<br />
a Catholic Central League All-<br />
Star this season after finishing<br />
as runner-up for the league<br />
MVP award.<br />
Driscoll finished the final<br />
season of her high school career<br />
with one of the best save percentages<br />
in the area, finishing at<br />
.763. The senior captain made<br />
155 total saves on the year, including<br />
37 total saves over two<br />
games against league champion<br />
Masconomet. An NEC all-conference<br />
selection, Driscoll will<br />
be continuing her lacrosse career<br />
at St. Anselm next year.<br />
Clopton was the top scorer in<br />
Swampscott’s three-headed offensive<br />
