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 />

the opening was all Serenitee<br />

Restaurant Group CCOO Jeff Cala<br />

had hoped for.<br />

“You can see tonight, that this is<br />

the place to meet, place to hang out<br />

with family and friends,” Cala Said.<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 />

Man.<br />

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

coaching youth sports or fishing, professional<br />

bass angler Gene Ellison —<br />

aka “The Fishing Machine” — seemingly<br />

does it all.<br />

Since turning pro in 1999, Ellison<br />

has been considered one of the country’s<br />

most enthusiastic and successful<br />

tournament and promotional anglers.<br />

While Ellison competes in several<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 />

groups and those who would<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 />

such acts in the past and pledge<br />

we will continue to stand with<br />

you to uphold the values of tolerance,<br />

acceptance and unity<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.

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 />

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 />

Sports<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 />

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 />
