George Peabody Legacy
Award winners.
The Peabody Education
Foundation announced the

of the Board David Gravel
said that this is a “well-deserved
honor” for every recipient
of the award.
“I think they represent
a fantastic group of individuals
who were not only
generous of their time and
energy, but who made a big
difference within our school
system,” said the chairman.
“They all truly deserve to be
on that wall of honor with
the past recipients.”
Vice President and Vice
Chair of the Board Thomas
Gould added that this year’s
class features some great
educators.
“It’s a wonderful class
of award winners,” he said.

When Paul McGinnity opened Barber
Shoppe Off the Square in 2014, he played up
the nostalgia factor in the business' design.
McGinnity had previously worked at another
barber shop owned by barber David
Serpa, which had been open since 1948.
When the building was sold, he and Serpa,
who is now the manager at McGinnity's
business, kept the same phone number and
hung up the 1930s barber pole from the old
shop inside the new one.
"We tried to keep things connected and
stay with the community," McGinnity said.
"We have strong roots with the downtown
and the city."
Recently, McGinnity acquired a vintage

“This year, we’re thrilled
to have such an exceptional
group of people who were

Gravel also noted that the
past year has been a difficult
one for educators, with

taking kids out of school and
forcing teachers to adapt.
“It was an enormous challenge

City sues
O’Shea mansion
appraiser
By anne marie toBin
The city has filed a lawsuit in Essex Superior
Court against Middleton appraiser
Greg Story seeking damages in connection
with an appraisal he conducted in an eminent
domain seizure of the historic O’Shea
Mansion in 2016.
The complaint, filed July 30, alleges
that Story was negligent and breached the
terms of a contract he entered into with the
city to conduct the appraisal.
The city is seeking damages in the
amount of $7,587 for services paid by the
city to Story and an additional $725,000 in
damages, according to a civil action lawsuit
filed by City Solicitor Donald L. Conn.
The property was owned by Empire
Design and Development, LLC, which
purchased the property from the city in
2015 for $350,000. Empire owner Michael
Corsetti of Gloucester planned to demolish
the then-123-year-old landmark and replace
it with apartments and shops.
According to the complaint, the city
took the land by eminent domain in 2016
to prevent its demolition, paying Empire
$425,000 in compensation for the seizure.
The city and Story entered into a contract
in 2016 in which Story agreed to appraise
the property and testify as an expert witness
on behalf of the city in the event litigation
ensued, the filing said.
Empire sued the city in Superior Court,

sign above his Main Street shop.
He also makes sure to use traditional
techniques and products to
give his services that old-timey
feel.
"I exclusively use Clubman
powder because it reminds me of
my first haircut," he said. "We're
trying to bring back those memories."
McGinnity and his family
and friends designed and painted
the shop, and he and his wife
moved into the one-bedroom
apartment above it. Seven years
later, with the addition of two
kids, they were just getting ready
to move to a larger home when
the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
The shop owner said that getting
the call telling him that he
would have to close up temporarily
due to pandemic restrictions
was scary and unexpected.
"It was hardest because there
was no preparation, no time to
plan," he said. "We got a call on
Friday to close for Monday. It
was so last-minute."
Luckily, with help from the
shop's loyal client base, Mc-
Ginnity and his staff were able
to survive until they reopened
in June. They were very careful
when they did reopen, having
the facilities professionally sanitized
and constantly cleaning
everything. Still, many longtime
customers were cautious about
coming back until recently.
McGinnity said that he is finally
starting to see some customers
return after more than
a year and a half, thanks to the
pandemic's slowing down.
"We were trying to be kind to
people during the whole thing to
show how important it is for us
to have that connection," he said.
"We wanted to make sure people
knew we care about them."
McGinnity, an active member
of the Peabody Area Chamber
of Commerce, is all about
that connection with the community.
He often sponsors Little
League teams and other children's
events and also works

2018, the shop was nominated
for PACC's Business of the Year
award, and while it didn't win,
McGinnity said he was honored
to have been nominated by his
business peers.
McGinnity also makes sure
to work with local businesses
through his second company,
North Shore Barber Supply.
The business, which he operates
out of the same building as
Barber Shoppe Off the Square,
sells beauty supplies to licensed
professionals in the industry. In
addition to national brands, Mc-
Ginnity has partnerships with locals
like Stoneham-based Uplift
Provisions and Lowell's Bump-
Pro.
North Shore Barber Supply

plan to slow down anytime soon.

shop's always going to mean

claiming the compensation was
too low as the appraised value
of the property was closer to $1
million. The lawsuit sought $1.8
million in damages.
The complaint states that on
July 31, 2018, Story was deposed
in the lawsuit. The deposition revealed
that Story had been placed
on probation for a six-month period
by the Board of Registration
of Real Estate Appraisers and was
fined $2,000. That was the first
time the city says it learned Story
had entered into a consent agreement,
dated April 10, 2018, with
the board and that he had been
placed on probation and fined.
“At no time prior to his deposition
had the defendant disclosed
the existence of the consent agreement
to the plaintiff (the city),”
the complaint said.
Following Story’s deposition,
the appraiser’s attorney informed
the city that he would not give
expert testimony in the Superior
Court case filed by Empire,
according to the complaint. The
filing continues that “after the
defendant’s refusal to testify, and
without an expert witness after the
deadline for expert disclosure, the
plaintiff settled the litigation.”
That settlement, along with a
settlement in a U.S. District Court
case filed against the city by Empire
alleging violation of civil
with amazing results,” said
Gravel. “Our program, (the)
Peabody Education Foundation,
was able to work very closely
with a whole slew of new programs

so supportive and so appreciative
of the effort. It was worth

rights, resulting in the city having
to pay a total of $825,000 in November
2018.
The complaint claims that Story’s
“failure to disclose that he
had been placed on probation and
his failure to testify constituted a
breach of contract, and that as a
direct and proximate result of of
the defendant’s (Story’s) breach
of contract, the plaintiff paid to
sett(le) the litigation and paid the
defendant for services that had no
value and has otherwise been injured
or damaged.”
The city is also seeking treble
damages, costs and attorneys’ fees
under state law, claiming that Story’s
actions constituted unfair and
deceptive acts and practices that
are prohibited by the commonwealth.
The city also alleges that Story’s
actions and omissions constitute
a breach of implied covenant
of good faith, and that his actions
were negligent as he “failed to
provide the plaintiff with an appraisal,
which could be used in
litigation.”
The city has demanded a jury
trial. Story is required to file an
answer to the complaint no later
than Nov. 29. The deadline for
a final pre-trial conference and/
or setting a trial date is Nov. 22,
2022, with the case to be resolved

Brothers Angelo, Lucio Jr. and Valentino Perrina started Nutre Meal Plans in 2017 and offer more than 100 recipes for meal prepping with a focus on healthy eating.
Perrina brothers’ Nutre Meals delivers delicious dinners
By anne Marie ToBin
It all started with one customer.
In 2017, the Perrina brothers —
Angelo, Lucio Jr. and Valentino,
owners of Toscana's Ristorante on
Bourbon Street — began prepping
meals out of Toscana's kitchen for
their father, Lucio Perrina Sr., following
his diabetes diagnosis.
Fast forward to 2021, and
what started as a labor of love has
soared to new heights with Nutre
Meal Plans, a meal-plan delivery
service that features some of the
tastiest and healthiest foods you
will ever pull out of your microwave.
A recently-aired "Good Morning
America" ad says it all.
"People think if you're busy,
you don't have time to eat healthy,"
said Valentino, the company's
chief executive officer. "That's
why we created Nutre Meals
— fully prepared meals that are
healthy, convenient and, above all,
delicious."
Let's just say there's plenty of
truth in that piece of advertising
By Trea Lavery
Conservative internet personality
and former radio host
Dianna Ploss filed papers with
the Office of Campaign and Political
Finance (OCPF) Monday
organizing a candidate's committee
to run for governor.
The filing papers show a
Peabody address for Ploss, who
has not listed a party affiliation.
West Brookfield resident Lisa
Johnson is listed as Ploss' campaign
manager, with Wareham
resident Margot Walbourne as
treasurer of the committee
based on this writer's tasting of
three of those meals. Each one
was delicious; from the chimichurri
steak tips to grilled chicken
caprese to the 370-calorie baked
stuffed haddock, Nutre delivered
as promised.
The company features two basic
promises: weight loss and balance.
Options include breakfast,
dinner and a complete snack line.
Meals are available in fivemeal
increments (from five to 20)
with prices ranging from $9.99 to
$12.99, depending on the size of
the order.
Menus vary each week, and
customers can also buy in bulk.
The company delivers to Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and
Rhode Island, and recently expanded
to New York's five boroughs
and northern New Jersey.
All deliveries are made in-house
with 20 drivers delivering between
50-100 orders each day.
Valentino estimates that Nutre
delivers 13,000 meals to 1,600 active
customers every week.
The company's local base is
strong, with owners saying the
Ploss' website describes her
as "Massachusetts' loudest and
bravest citizen journalist and
freedom advocate."
"Dianna calls out all adversaries
of Freedom: Communists,
Islamists and Establishment
Republicans," the site
says. "Dianna is a staunch supporter
of President Trump and
his America First agenda … Dianna
never backs down. Dianna
never gives up. And, Dianna
encourages freedom lovers to
do the same!"
Ploss lost her talk radio show
on WSMN in Nashua, N.H. in
July 2020 after posting a video
of herself demanding that a
Spanish-speaking landscaping
crew speak English. Her Twitter
and Facebook accounts have
also been removed, but she
frequently posts videos on her
YouTube page.
Ploss began organizing
weekly Thursday rallies in support
of then-President Donald
Trump in April 2020 in Swampscott,
near the home of Gov.
Charlie Baker. The demonstrations
began as a protest against
COVID-19-related restrictions,
but soon began to include racist
majority of their customers are
young millennials, ages 25-35,
and people between the ages of 45
and 65.
"We have a very good North
Shore following but also do really
well in Somerville, Cambridge
and Medford with younger people,"
said Lucio Jr. "We also do
well in older areas, where people
want more convenience and have
dietary restrictions, particularly
low sodium."
Nutrition is the top priority
with every meal that Nutre produces,
which even extends to its
no-egg cookies. The company's
staff includes a full-time dietician/
nutritionist, Michelle Lucier.
"She's great at helping develop
meals with great nutritional value
that tastes good and also address
individual dietary needs," said Angelo.
Valentino said one of the major
reasons people don't eat healthy is
a lack of variety in food.
"That's why we go with seasonal
items and culturally-inspired
menu items," he said. "We knew
there was a tremendous opportunity
to provide things people want
but can't find. Plus, COVID made
people more aware of how important
healthy food is to overall
health."
The company steers away from
preservatives, electing instead for
sustainable, fresh and locally-produced
ingredients, he added.
The company isn't just about
profit; thousands of meals every
year are donated to charity.
"We intentionally overproduce
so we can donate," Angelo said,
adding that approximately 90,000
meals have been donated to Citizens
Inn over the past few years.
The company also gave thousands
of free meals to frontline
pandemic workers and sponsored
about 50 nurses.
"They were fearful of being
in public so we gave them meals
to take home or eat at work," said
Angelo.
The brothers raised $30,000
partnering with New England
Patriots players J.C. Jackson and
Jake Bailey on an autographed
merchandise giveaway initiative,
which benefited ICU workers.
imagery and language.
The protests were the site
of the Dec. 12 arrest of Black
Lives Matter activist Ernst
Jean-Jacques, also known as
Shimmy, after a confrontation
with Trump supporter Linda
Greenberg. Greenberg was seen
throwing water at Jean-Jacques,
and Ploss, among other Trump
supporters, allege that he
punched Greenberg in response;
Jean-Jacques and his supporters
maintain that he simply reached
out to take Greenberg's water
bottle out of her hand. Jean-
Jacques' case is scheduled to go
"The Patriots purchased our
meals and matched it on top of the
purchase," said Angelo. "We were
the first in Massachusetts to do
this on this scale."
Steak tips are the most popular
entrée. And it's no wonder why.
"All of our steak products are
from Dom's Sausages (in Malden),"
said Lucio.
Valentino is the marketing
guru, while Angelo and Lucio —
described by Angelo as a "perfect
blend of brains" — focus more on
the culinary and operations side.
Angelo said the pandemic was
beneficial to the startup company.
"Normally, it would take five
years to get off the ground, but
when COVID hit so fast, it just
accelerated the process," Angelo
said.
Next on the Nutre agenda is
expanding into retail.
"We're looking into expanding
into small specialty-food stores,"
Valentino said. "We have some
options and believe there is real
opportunity because we offer
what people want."
Right-wing activist Ploss organizes run for governor
to trial on Aug. 18.
Neither Ploss or members of
her campaign team responded

To the editor:
Something is fishy off Pulaski
Street by the Waters River in Peabody.
The Massachusetts Municipal
Wholesale Electric Company
(MMWEC) plans to build a fossil-fuel-powered
55-megawatt
generator. The peak capacity generator
would operate about 239
hours a year to meet the surge capacity
energy needs of 14 power
plants.
This makes no sense when a
battery-powered facility on Monterey
Bay, Calif. led to the closure of
three nearby peak capacity generators
powered by fossil fuels.
You’d think MMWEC, with
some of the highest percentages
of renewable energy, would know
better and not break the law of the
Next Generation Roadmap.
The Moss Landing, California
300-megawatt Vistra Energy
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
system, is the world’s largest lithium-ion
battery.
It is so effective that Pacific Gas
& Electric in July 2020, having
been delayed by the COVID-19
pandemic, began construction of
a 182.5-megawatt facility (“Elkhorn”)
provided by Tesla.
The MMWEC peak generator
in Peabody would operate primarily
during extreme weather events,
which are not the best conditions
for powering up gas turbines. It will
produce 55 megawatts, about onetenth
the power of the big battery
in California. At this scale, there are
alternatives to lithium-ion batteries.
Currently available are pumped
hydro, gravity-based, compressed
air and flow batteries.
Pumped hydro is the most common.
The hydroelectric station
inside Northfield Mountain where
the Deerfield River meets the
Connecticut River has five-billion
gallons of water in a mountain-top
reservoir. Electricity is generated
when water falls hundreds of feet
down internally inside the hollowed
mountain.
These days, there is no such
mountain in Peabody. However,
a high water tower that rivals the
coal-fired power stack over Salem
might be a welcome navigational
aid out at sea.
A water tower would be much
more benign for folks and fowl
living along the Waters River than
would a fossil-fuel-fired peak capacity
generator. One could put
a restaurant on top, perhaps with
swimming carp visible through the
floor, and bring the Seattle space
needle home to innovative and forward
thinking Peabody.

Ways to prevent falls
For the Weekly NeWs
Important information from
the National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control:
There are four things you can
do to prevent falls:
Speak up. Talk openly with
your health care provider
about fall risks and prevention.
Have your doctor review your
medicines.
Keep moving. Begin an exercise
program to improve your
strength and balance.
Get an annual eye exam.
Replace eyeglasses as needed.
Make your home safe: Remove
clutter and tripping hazards.
Contact your local community
or senior center for information
on exercise fall-prevention programs,
and options for improving
home safety.
Stay independent: One in four
people 65 and older fall each
year. What can you do to 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.

PEABODY SCHOOLS ANNOUNCE REOPENING PLANS
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Josh Vadala says the district is not looking to make any major
changes in regards to COVID-19 guidelines for the upcoming school year.
BY ANNE MARIE TOBIN
With three weeks to go until the
first day of school on Aug. 30, it’s
all systems go for Peabody’s public
schools.
“Believe it or not, we are in August
and the start of the new school
year is just around the corner,” Superintendent
of Schools Dr. Josh
Vadala said. “We had an entry plan
last year that focused on building
relationships with the School
Committee and internal and external
stakeholders. It was all about
listening and learning. Our next
step this year is to take everything
we learned last year and focus on
continued improvement going forward
into this year.”
Vadala told the School Committee
at its most recent meeting
that the district will follow all Department
of Elementary and Secondary
Education (DESE) and
Department of Public Health guidance,
which currently “strongly
recommends” masks for students
from K-6 when indoors and for unvaccinated
students in grades 7-12.
Students who are fully vaccinated
are not required to wear masks.
DESE “strongly recommends” that
students who nonetheless choose to
wear masks should be supported in
all cases. Masks are mandatory for
students and staff in school health
officers. Per federal public health
guidelines, masks are mandatory to
students and staff on buses.
“We know that things may
change over the next few weeks,”
Vadala said. “We have to be flexible
and need to be adaptive as we
were last year. But I was very encouraged
with the commissioner
(of Education Jeffrey Riley) and
the governor’s (Charlie Baker) recommendations.”
According to Vadala, while the
district will be meeting with Health
Director Sharon Cameron in the
upcoming weeks, the district is not
looking to make any major policy
changes.
“This summer worked very
well with optional masks, but we
may need more guidance as we
work into larger classroom settings,
so we will work with Sharon
to get further guidance,” Vadala
said. “Right now, I feel confident
following the DESE and DPH recommendations.
We can make more
recommendations, but we are not
forcing anyone to make those new
decisions at this time. I don’t think
we should have stronger or lesser
guidelines that we have now.”
Committee member Jarrod
Hochman said that while he feels
he isn’t sure he fully understands
DESE’s recommendations, he
doesn’t see any need to strongly
recommend students in K-6 wear
masks.
“Unless things change dramatically
between now and when
school starts, I really don’t see any
need to strongly recommend students
in K-6 when they’re indoors
to be wearing masks,” he said. “I
just don’t understand the need for
K-6 students to get vaccinated and
it’s the same with the students in
grades 7-plus.
“I think we should be 'mask
optional' and support people who
choose to wear masks.”
Hochman said he also doesn’t
understand why there is a federal
mandate requiring masks on buses
and asked Vadala to seek out additional
information on that issue
from the commissioner.
Committee member Joe Amico,
presiding in the absence of
Chair Edward A. Bettencourt Jr.,
suggested the committee convene
again on Aug. 24 “in hopes of having
more concrete data.”
Vadala said the district will continue
to offer COVID-19 testing in
partnership with the city’s health
department using the department’s
mobile vaccination clinic. He said
he is also expecting an updated
version of DESE’s Protocols for
Responding to COVID-19 Scenarios
guide. Currently, the guide exempts
vaccinated people from any
quarantine situations.
New Assistant Superintendent
of Curricula, Instruction and Assessment
Dr. Kelly Chase said she
has been busy talking with district
principals and senses there is a
great sense of optimism about the
upcoming school year.
“You can see there is a great
deal of pride in the work that has
been to date,” she said. “We have
a real opportunity to get back to
basics and engage in communication
to give us a real understanding
about our students and their needs.
“We are putting the worst behind
us and building upon the
strengths of the collaboration that’s
happened this past year.”
THINGS ARE COOKING AT PEABODY’S CITIZENS INN
BY ANNE MARIE TOBIN
Citizens Inn will be hosting
an end-of-the summer virtual
cooking class on Friday, Aug. 20
at 6 p.m.
The event promises to be a
great opportunity, not only for
participants to learn a few new
grilling tricks, but to learn about
and support the Haven from
Hunger — a program run by Citizens
Inn — with a mission of
ending homelessness and hunger
on the North Shore.
“This is our third cooking
class we’ve put together over
the past year,” said Citizens Inn
Senior Development Officer Gianna
Langis. “It’s a unique way
to be able to stay in touch with
our audience and donor base,
and do so in a safe way during
the pandemic. Grilling seemed
like a fun way to end the summer.
“The cost of running Haven
during the pandemic has grown
exponentially and every fundraising
dollar matters. That’s
why these virtual classes are
impactful, and that’s why we
need continued support from the
community as we near the 18thmonth
mark of the pandemic.”
Haven from Hunger Assistant
Program Director Brianne Jurs
will be the featured instructor.
She will teach participants how
to cook a delicious meal using an
outdoor grill. The class menu includes
grilled pizza, grilled fruit
for sangria and a special grilled
dessert.
“Brianne has a wealth of
knowledge in the kitchen, and
while she does follow recipes,
her main goal is to teach the
viewers technique,” said Langis.
“Bri cooks dinner four nights
a week for our takeaway meal
service. Depending on what we
get on that day for food rescue
or from the Greater Boston Food
Bank is what she ends up preparing.
“That’s why technique is so
important and her willingness to
adapt recipes with different ingredients
on a daily basis. It’s all
about catering to the preference
of the audience.”
Langis added thay Jurs is
hoping to show off several items
that many people don’t typically
associate with cheese pizza.
“She’s looking to highlight
some of the beautiful fruit that’s
in season right now and also
vegetables that people might not
think to add to their pizzas,” said
Langis.
Adults will also be able to
make a vegetable dish. An outdoor
grill is not required as all
recipes are oven-friendly, Langis
said.
An ingredient list, pre-class
preparation tips and Zoom meeting
details will be distributed to
confirmed attendees a week before
the event.
Throughout the class, attendees
will be updated on how Citizens
Inn’s Haven from Hunger
program has faced increased
demand during the COVID-19
pandemic. Participants will have
the opportunity to ask questions
about the program or general

food insecurity issues.
“This class also serves as an
opportunity for donors to hear
what Haven’s daily operations
look like,” said Langis. “We’re
in the midst of finishing up construction
of our second floor.
Our pantry remains outdoors for
the foreseeable future.”
Tickets are $50 per household.

the demands made on its pantry
during the pandemic are still
higher than pre-pandemic levels.
The pantry operates Monday,

of each week from 10:30 a.m. to
2:30 p.m. Meals are provided on
a grab-and-go basis as the dining
room remains closed.
In the last 12 months, the pantry

Smooth operator at the Water treatment facility
BY ALLYSHA DUNNIGAN
Water treatment operator Eric
Clark works at the Coolidge Water
Treatment Facility to ensure the
city's water is safe to drink, moving
about four to six million gallons of
water per day.
Clark used to work in the automotive
industry for years but said
he was unhappy in that profession.
He then practiced photography for
a few years before he met someone
working in the water treatment
field who encouraged him to pursue
this new line of work.
To become a water treatment
operator, Clark had to go through
training and tests to receive a license
from the state. There are
four levels of this type of license,

allowing access to certain aspects
of the job, but two licenses must be
obtained to work in the plant.
Clark is now pursuing his third
license, which will consist of 12
weeks of training and requires him
to pass two tests.
Even with this work and commitment
— and the unique schedule
consisting of an eight-hour shift
on Fridays and 16-hour days on
Saturdays and Sundays — Clark
said transitioning to this line of
work was the best move for him,
and he is very happy with it.
"It was interesting when I got
into it because you turn the faucet
on and you never really think about
how you got the water or what
it is that went into making any of
this," Clark said. "Once I started

Facility in Peabody.
working, I was like 'oh wow, this
is where it comes from, and this is
how we get it.'"
The process to get the water into
the taps at people's homes includes
testing the water multiple times a
day for chlorine levels, PH balance,
and turbidity (cloudiness).
When testing for these factors,
the water needs to be within the
state's standards, which Clark said
means there have to be low levels
of whichever element they're testing,
so that the water is clean and
drinkable.
If the sample is not up to standards,
then the chemicals need to
be adjusted so the problem can be
corrected.
The testing, Clark said, takes
about eight to 10 minutes, and then
the water flows through a tank in
which it will stay for about 24 hours
while disinfection takes place.
On a warm summer day, Clark
said, the city consumes about 60
million gallons of water and the
plant produces about 3,200 gallons
per minute. Clark said it is important
to be on top of his work since
things can go south fast and decisions
will need to be made quickly.
"You don't want to be putting
out bad water to the city, so it's an
important job to be monitoring
that," Clark said. "It may look like
it could be a relaxing job, but there
is a lot to it, and I didn't know that
until I got into this. It's cool to see
the behind the scenes of something
that seems as simple as just turning
your faucet on."
Progeria Research
Foundation
road races begin
BY ANNE MARIE TOBIN
It's road race season for the
Peabody-based Progeria Research
Foundation (PRF).
For the seventh straight year,
Team PRF is participating in the
ASICS Falmouth Road Race,
which will be held on Sunday, Aug.
15.
The race has raised over $85,000
to date for PRF, an organization
created to raise awareness among
families, doctors, researchers and
the general public about Progeria,
also known as Hutchinson-Gilford
Progeria Syndrome. Progeria is
an extremely rare, progressive genetic
disorder that causes children
to age rapidly, starting in their first
two years of life, which leads to
premature death, oftentimes in the
early teens. PRF also funds medical
research and runs research-related
programs specifically aimed
at finding the cause, treatments and
cure for this syndrome.
The goal for this year's race is to
raise $15,000.
If you are interested in running
with the PRF virtual team or making
a donation, contact Mfino@
progeriaresearch.org for details.
PGF's 20th Annual International
Race for Research will be held
Saturday, Sept. 18 at 9 a.m. in Peabody.
The family-friendly event
features a 5K road race, a 5K virtual
race and a two-mile walk. Registration
fees are $29 for the 5K races
and $24 for the walk. Late registration
fees after Aug. 13 are $34 for
the 5K races and $29 for the walk.
The in-person 5K and two-mile
race will begin and end at Leather
City Commons, 53 Lowell St.
Virtual participants are free to run
a course of their choice. Dogs
are welcome to participate at no
charge, but they must be on leashes.
The top finishers will receive
awards and there will be refreshments
for all participants.
Participants receive race
T-shirts, which are not guaranteed
after Aug. 20. T-shirts will
be shipped to the continental U.S.
only.
The event's lead sponsor is
North Shore Bank. Other sponsors
include Debbie Mendelson Ponn
(starting-line banner), Blueline
(one-mile mark), the Beasley and
Milbury family and Peggy and
Jody Pedro (dog stations), Alyse
and David Barbash in memory
of Sam Berns (watering hole stations).
Sponsorship opportunities are
still available, ranging from $100
to $1,000. For more information
about sponsorship levels or to become
a sponsor, contact Jennifer
Brickley at jbrickley@progeriaresearch.org
or 978-548-5303.
All race proceeds will be donated
to PRF, whose research efforts
resulted in the approval of the
first-ever treatment for Progeria
(lonafarnib). The drug, which was
approved in November 2020 by
the Food and Drug Administration,
allows children with the disease to
obtain the drug via prescription.
Prior to approval, the drug was
only available to participants in
clinical trials. The drug adds two
1/2 years to life expectancy. Without
treatment, the average life expectancy
of children suffering from
Progeria is only 14.5 years.

Peabody West captures regional opener
By Mike Alongi
BRISTOL, Conn. — A week
off from game action didn’t slow
down the Peabody West Little
League all-star team one bit, as
the Massachusetts state champions
— now known as Team
Massachusetts — took down
Saco/Dayton Little League’s
Team Maine by a score of 3-0
in a pool play game at the Little
League World Series New
England Regional Monday night
at A. Bartlett Giamatti Little
League Leadership Training
Center.
“We came into this tournament
just like every other one — by
preaching what we do best,” said
Peabody West manager Mark
Bettencourt. “We just want to
come in here and do what’s made
us successful, and that’s throw
strikes, play good defense and
come up with timely hits. We did
all of that (Monday).”
As has been the case for much
of this summer, Peabody West
didn’t go crazy at the plate. Only
two players registered a total
of three hits on the night, but
they were all big ones. Jimmy
DiCarlo went 2-for-3 with a
double and two RBI, while
Brendan Kobierski went 1-for-3
with a home run and an RBI.
And, as has also been the case
for much of this summer, starting
pitcher Cullen Pasterick got
the job done for Peabody West.
Pasterick tossed a complete
game, allowing no runs on six
hits with four strikeouts.
In the top of the second, a pair
of walks put two runners on base
for DiCarlo. He didn’t disappoint,
lacing a two-run double
into the gap in left-center field to
give Peabody West a 2-0 lead.
Kobierski rounded things out
in the very next inning, smashing
a deep, two-out solo home run
over the center field fence to give
Team Massachusetts a 3-0 lead.
On the other side of the field,
Pasterick held it down. Maine
threatened with two runners on in
the second inning and a two-out
triple in the third, but Pasterick
quieted the rally each time. He
then only allowed three hits the
rest of the way, relying on the
stellar defense behind him to
help seal the victory.
Peabody West now has two
days off before getting back in
action Thursday afternoon (1)
against Team Connecticut in a
winner’s bracket game.
“We’re just going to take
things game by game,” said
Bettencourt. “We know what we
have to do out there to be successful,
and we’re not going to
deviate from that plan.”

North Shore Navigators
sweep Upper Valley,
win North Division title
By Mike Alongi
LYNN — The North Shore
Navigators are the champions
of the New England Collegiate
Baseball League’s Northern
Division and will play for their
first Fay Vincent Sr. Cup since
2010.
Thanks to Monday’s 4-2 win
at Fraser Field, fifth-seeded
North Shore completed a
two-game sweep of the second-seeded
Upper Valley
Nighthawks in the Northern
Division Finals. The Navs
earned the opportunity to clinch
the best-of-three set on their
home turf with the previous
night’s 5-0 shutout win in White
River Junction, Vt.
North Shore now awaits the
winner of the Southern Division
Finals between the top-seeded
Martha’s Vineyard Sharks
and fourth-seeded Danbury
Westerners, who are scheduled
to break a 1-1 series deadlock
during a deciding third game
on Tuesday in Oak Bluffs. The
NECBL Championship Series
will begin with the Navs traveling
to the South winner on
Wednesday before returning to
Lynn for Game 2 at 7:05 p.m.
Thursday.
As for the division-clinching
game, the Navs broke a scoreless
tie with all three runs they
ultimately needed in the bottom
of the second inning. Four
straight batters reached base
to start the frame as catcher
Cal Christofori (Santa Clara)
walked, designated hitter
Ryan Marra (Brown) was hit
by a pitch and shortstop Alex
Lemery (Marymount) singled
to right.
Right fielder Dylan Brazil’s
(Stetson) fielder’s choice drove
home the first North Shore run
before Marra scored on a wild
pitch during the next at-bat.
After Brazil stole second, he
scored when second baseman
Jonathan Luders (Seton Hall)
knocked a single through the
vacated right side of the infield.
Marra led off the fourth inning
with a single and was
balked over to second base.
Left fielder Jake McElroy’s
(Holy Cross) two-out infield hit
put runners on the corners, allowing
Marra to cross the plate
on a wild pitch for the second
time in the game.
North Shore starter Austin
Amaral (Stetson) worked
around a pair of first-inning
baserunners and then faced the
minimum over the next four
innings. Amaral finished his
second postseason start with
five total strikeouts and was
credited with a six-inning complete
game as the contest was
deemed official following more
than an hour-long rain delay.
Center fielder Brett Callahan
(Saint Joseph’s) scored on a
wild pitch and first baseman
Kyle Novak’s (James Madison)
run-scoring infield single cut
the Upper Valley deficit to 4-2
in the sixth, but the threat ended
as Amaral induced a double
play ball to Luders and snagged
a line drive back to the mound.

Peabody native Heather MacLean runs in the women’s 1500-meter semifinal race at the 2020
Summer Olympics in Tokyo last Wednesday morning.
MacLean’s Olympic run comes to
an end in 1500-meter semifinal
By Mike Alongi
It was a bitter pill to swallow
early last Wednesday morning,
as Peabody native Heather
MacLean came up just short in
her pursuit of an Olympic medal
when she failed to qualify for the
women’s 1500-meter final at the
2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics.
MacLean ran a time of 4:05.33
in the second semifinal of the
day, finishing 12th in her race
and 21st overall. Her time was
nearly three seconds slower than
her qualifying run of 4:02.40 on
Sunday night and was four seconds
behind the time she would
have needed to get into the final.
MacLean, who began on the
inside lane, got off to a bit of a
slow start before quickly rallying
to move up into the fourth position.
She bounced back and forth
between fourth and fifth place
alongside Diana Mezulianikova
of the Czech Republic, but
around the 1:30 mark MacLean
started slipping behind. By the
halfway point in the race, four
more runners had passed her.
She made a move to the inside
late in the race to try and move
up, but there was simply too
much ground to make up. After
one final push in the final 30
seconds, MacLean crossed the
finish line in 12th place.
While the 2020 Olympic run
is over for MacLean, her story
is far from completed. She will
return to the United States and
continue running as a professional
for New Balance and — at
only 25 years old — begin the
planning process for potentially
qualifying for Paris in 2024.
State champion St. Mary’s baseball team to hold celebratory golf day
By Mike Alongi
LYNN — To celebrate its
Division 2 state championship
victory last month, the St. Mary’s
baseball team will be hosting an
entire day of celebrations, which
include a golf tournament in
Lynnfield and a night of festivities
in Lynn on Aug. 20.
The day will begin at 4 p.m.
over at Reedy Meadow Golf
Course in Lynnfield, where the
team will host a nine-hole, shotgun-style
tournament until 7 p.m.
The celebration will then shift
over to Lynn, where Gannon
Municipal Golf Course will host
a “Night at the Races” event.
The “Night at the Races”
event will feature toy horses that
will be named after players and
coaches on the St. Mary’s championship
roster. Those horses can
then be bet on and moved via a
roll of the dice. There will also
be raffle prizes, a scratch ticket
board, a cash bar and appetizers
running until 10 p.m.
Those interested in donating
to the day or sponsoring some of
the events have several options.
An overall event sponsorship
costs $500 and includes eight
tickets, your name listed on the
event program and mentioned
throughout the day. A race or
golf cart sponsorship costs $250
and includes four tickets and
your name listed on the event
program. The cost to play in the
golf tournament and have access
to the celebration afterwards is
$125, while $100 will get you in
as a sponsor of a table or a golf
hole during the event. Those who
would only like to attend the celebration
event can do so for a
cost of $35.
All proceeds from the event
will go toward a championship
banquet for the St. Mary’s
players and coaches.
Those who wish to register
for golf must do so no later than
Friday, Aug. 13, as space is limited
to 80 players.
For more information or to
register, please contact St. Mary’s
head coach Derek Dana, St.
Mary’s assistant coach Tim Fila
or St. Mary’s Athletic Director
Jeff Newhall.
