Heather MacLean 

Day has (Olympic) 

ring to it 

By SAm minton And 

Anne mArie toBin 

The air was electric at Peabody 

Veterans Memorial High School as 

the city gathered Saturday morning 

to honor its first Olympic athlete 

in more than 20 years, Heather 

MacLean. 

MacLean had a summer to remember 

as she represented the 

United States at the 2020 Tokyo 

Olympics this past August. She 

thrilled the hometown fans who 

gathered on a steamy mid-August 

night at Leather City Commons 

to watch her race her way into the 

semifinals of the 1500-meter run, 

coming from behind to finish with 

a time of 4:02.40 While she fell

Danvers hires three Peabody residents 

By AlenA KuzuB 

Three Peabody residents have been 

hired for the 2021-22 school year by the 

Danvers Public Schools (DPS). 

Kerri Crescenzo will be a teacher at 

Thorpe Elementary School and Nicole 

Wilson will be the new school nurse at 

the Holten Richmond Middle School, 

where Gianna Denisco will also be 

working as a fellow. 

“We look for new teachers whose 

teaching aligns with our vision and core 

values of caring, quality, collaboration, 

and commitment,” said Lisa Dana, 

superintendent of Danvers Public 

Schools, in an email to the Weekly 

short of qualifying for the final, the 

2017 University of Massachusetts 

grad said she had the experience of 

a lifetime. 

And she said she owes it all to 

the community. 

“I just really appreciate all the 

support from the community, it 

meant the world to me and it’s really 

helped me get to where I am,” 

she said to the crowd on Saturday. 

“Running in Tokyo was incredible 

and seeing all of the videos 

and social media posts from all of 

you was incredible. The (Leather 

City Commons) viewing party was 

amazing, knowing that so many 

of my family and friends were

News. 

New hires will participate in a twoyear 

induction program, Dana said. 

The program helps new teachers learn 

district programs, policies, and procedures 

while acclimating them to the 

nuances and challenges of working in 

the Danvers Public Schools. During the 

second year, new teachers take a course 

called Studying Skillful Teaching, 

taught by Research for Better Teaching, 

a professional development organization 

from Acton. 

New teachers can also get support 

through monthly Early Release professional 

learning sessions, math and 

literacy coaching, and assistance from 

level-based curriculum directors and 

principals, Dana said. 

“Our vision is for DPS graduates to 

go on to achieve their definition of success,” 

said the superintendent. 

“I am excited for the new year and 

ready to tackle new challenges,” said 

Crescenzo, who will be working at 

Thorpe Elementary School as a basic 

skills teacher. 

She said she likes being a teacher 

because she enjoys helping students 

accomplish their goals. She is happy to 

see her students’ excitement when they 

learn to do new things on their own. It

back on 

Council 

agenda 

By AlenA KuzuB 

The O’Shea Mansion’s $7 million bedand-breakfast 

project is going in front of 

the City Council again on Thursday, asking 

for a special permit for 10 hotel rooms and 

three apartments. Developers are hoping 

for no last-minute surprise special conditions 

this time. 

“I think overall everyone is in support of 

the special permit we are applying for,” said 

Julie Daigle, who works for the developer 

Ed Greeley and manages his other project, 

Mills 58. “Everything we expressed in the 

Request for Proposal (RFP) pretty much 

matches up. I wouldn’t expect any additional 

special conditions.” 

The City Council approved the sale of the 

property to Greeley in April and authorized 

Mayor of Peabody Edward A. Bettencourt 

Jr. to negotiate and sign a purchase and sale 

agreement with Greeley for $751,000. The 

deal was then stalled by the Legal Affairs 

subcommittee, which appeared to have 

improperly attached new conditions made 

by Ward 2 Councilor Peter McGinn to the

agreement beyond the scope of 

the RFP in a motion. 

Daigle, who is a candidate for 

Ward 4 city councilor, said that 

Greely won’t close on the property 

until the council approves 

the special permit. 

“I feel very strongly about 

this project. We have already 

spent a lot of time and money 

on plans, renderings, surveys 

and abatement. We are pretty 

invested for people who have 

a sale and purchase agreement 

but don’t own the property,” 

Daigle said. 

This project is important not 

only for Peabody but for the 

North Shore, Daigle said. She 

was also hoping that if anybody 

had any objections they would 

have already expressed them 

prior to the meeting. 

Daigle said the community 

has overall expressed a lot of 

support for the project. People 

have been reaching out, asking 

for jobs or looking forward to 

visiting the future amenities. 

“The more we looked at it 

the more we fell in love with it. 

A lot of people kept telling us 

‘this is not a money maker, you 

are crazy to take it on,’” said 

Daigle. “It is a huge challenge 

but if it all works out, everyone 

will be proud of it.” 

Bettencourt has been a vocal 

supporter of the project, too, 

saying that Greeley and his 

partner, restaurateur Jeff Cala 

“have an amazing vision that 

is ideal for this property.” 

Bettencourt indicated Saturday 

that he will be making a presentation 

before the council on 

Thursday. 

“This is an outstanding plan 

for a property we all know 

very well,” Bettencourt said. 

“Their plan has been simply 

stunning from the first time I 

saw it. But I’ve had the opportunity 

to see the latest visuals 

and it’s even more special than 

what I thought. Ed has taken 

this project beyond anything we 

could have ever expected. It’s 

going to be something special, 

so this is a very big meeting 

Thursday.” 

Bettencourt said the project 

will help preserve the city’s history 

and a “stunningly beautiful 

building” and will serve as a 

gateway. 

The whole project includes 

properties at 2, 12 and 16 

Washington St. and envisions a 

bed-and-breakfast inn, a restaurant 

with indoor and outdoor 

seating for up to 100 patrons, a

is also important to her to build 

lifelong bonds with her students, 

Crescenzo said. 

“We are excited to welcome 

all the new people into the 

building because it energizes 

all of us,” said Rita Ward, principal 

of the Thorpe Elementary 

School Thursday, adding that 

they have already started some 

team-building activities in the 

school with the first couple of 

professional development days 

to give teachers an opportunity 

to meet each other before children 

enter the building. 

She said they hired 

Crescenzo for her experience 

working with intellectually-disabled 

students and communicating 

with parents. 

“We are partners with our 

parents,” said Ward. “That was 

another plus.” 

Crescenzo will be working 

alongside another basic skills 

teacher, Ward said. 

“Whether it is an instructor 

or a nurse, we look for someone 

with a ‘kids first’ mindset,” 

said Brendan Norton, principal 

of the Holten Richmond 

Middle School. 

Adults working at a school 

should pay attention to what is 

going on in a kid’s world before 

implementing a nursing 

program or a curriculum, he 

said. 

Norton said that his school 

had really strong candidates for 

a nurse position. 

Wilson had some good 

school nursing experience 

in schools similar to Holten 

Richmond. At the interview 

she also showed a really calm 

demeanor, good perspective 

on her role and ability to work 

with everyone, Norton said. 

He especially liked Wilson’s 

answer when he asked about 

her approach to conveying important 

information to parents 

and kids, for example about allergies. 

Wilson replied that she 

would use kindergarten conversation 

style. 

“A nurse is often a first 

landing spot for kids,” said 

Norton. 

It is important for a nurse to 

be able to distinguish between 

a medical issue and an underlying 

mental health issue, like 

anxiety. Wilson demonstrated 

that she can be calm, kind 

and caring, yet assertive, able 

to encourage a child to share, 

speakeasy-style bar and a health 

spa. Ample parking for patrons 

and staff members will also be 

provided. 

The request for a special 

permit that is going in front of 

the council on Thursday night 

is only for 2 Washington St., 

where hotel rooms would be 

and a few apartments at the 

carriage house. Daigle said that 

everything else in the project 

is allowed by right, meaning 

that the use is permitted in the 

zoning district and does not require 

approval by a local government. 

The council might 

only decide to allow a smaller 

number of hotel rooms or fewer 

apartments (Greeley’s special 

permit plan requested 10 and 

three, respectively). 

Events venue Olio, located 

at 43 Main St., is also on the 

agenda, seeking relief from 

Norton said. 

Denisco, who will be a 

fellow at Holten Richmond, 

will be finishing her master’s 

degree while working at 

the school. Fellows’ role is to 

support classrooms and teach 

classes in their subject matter if 

there is a need throughout the 

year, Norton said. 

Holten Richmond Middle 

School had the first faculty 

meeting of the new school 

year on Thursday, and the new 

hires came and joined right in, 

Norton said.

Peabody Institute Library concert 

series to start next week 

By Tréa Lavery 

The Peabody Institute Library 

(PIL) has announced the 

return of its free fall concert series, 

which will begin on Monday, 

Sept. 13. 

"The PIL Concert Series has 

been a favorite in the past and 

we're excited to bring it back," 

the library said in a press release. 

The first concert, at 7 p.m. 

Monday, will feature pan-Latin 

musical duo Sol y Canto. Singer 

and bongo player Rosi Amador 

and guitarist Brian Amador will 

play classic and contemporary 

Latin songs, as well as original 

pieces, in the library courtyard. 

The Boston Music Award-winning 

pair have toured nationally, 

accompanied by virtuoso 

musicians, and are often joined 

by their daughter, singer Alisa 

Amador. 

In case of rain, the event will 

be moved online. 

The second installment in 

the series will be another courtyard 

performance by Los Angeles-based 

singer-songwriter 

Stephanie James on Monday, 

Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. James is a 

Peabody native who now splits 

her time between the East and 

West coasts. Her debut album, 

"Unbreakable," was released in 

2020. 

A rain date for this performance 

is scheduled for Sept. 29, 

but the show will be moved online 

if it rains both days. James 

will also play an encore show on 

Monday, Nov. 8. 

On Oct. 4, Irish singer and 

WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 3 

harpist Áine Minogue will play 

a set of Celtic music celebrating 

the season of autumn in the 

library's Sutton Room or online. 

On Oct. 18, the New England 

Ballet Theatre will perform an 

excerpt from their season-opening 

ballet, Christopher Fleming's 

"The Myth and the Madness of 

Edgar Allan Poe." The show is 

a family-friendly, spooky visual 

retelling of the writer's life. 

There will also be time for questions 

from the audience. 

This performance will take 

place in the library's Sutton 

Room or online. 

Registration is required for 

each of the performances in the 

concert series, and is available 

on the library website at peabodylibrary.org. 

Heather MacLean 

Day has (Olympic) 

ring to it 

MACLEAN 

From page 1 

there cheering me on as you are 

today is such a great feeling. I 

thank all of you.” 

Mayor Edward A. 

Bettencourt Jr. presented 

MacLean with a key to the city 

as well as a large gift basket 

containing numerous donations 

from the likes of Dunkin’ 

Donuts and local businesses 

like Create & Escape. 

Bettencourt described 

MacLean as a true inspiration 

for the entire community 

and said how proud he was to 

be able to honor the Olympic 

runner. 

“I feel whenever people need 

help or if somebody is down, 

Peabody is there to support 

them, and when somebody is 

doing well and doing something 

amazing for our community, 

people from Peabody are there 

to support them and cheer them 

on,” said Bettencourt. “I think 

that’s what makes our community 

special in so many ways. 

Heather is just an amazing 

young lady and the best is still 

yet to come with her.” 

Bettencourt was just one of 

many city and state officials 

in attendance. That group included 

several members of 

the City Council and School 

Committee as well as State reps 

Tom Walsh and Sally Keran 

and a representative from the 

office of Sen. Joan Lovely, who 

was unable to attend. Peabody 

coaches Fernando Braz and 

Joe Rocha were also on hand 

as was Phil Sheridan, who 

was the athletic director while 

MacLean attended Peabody 

High. She also received a citation 

from the commonwealth 

as well as a proclamation from 

the city declaring Sept. 4, 2021 

as Heather MacLean Day in 

Peabody. 

But this summer was just a 

tip of the iceberg for the 2013 

Peabody graduate. Her career 

got off to a late start in high 

school; she joined the indoor 

track team as a junior. A mere 

18 months later, she left behind 

an unparalleled legacy, setting 

school records in the 400-, 600- 

and 800-meter runs as well 

as the 4x400, 4x800, sprint 

medley and distance medley 

relays. While not known as a 

distance runner, she took up 

cross country and helped lead 

her team to a state championship 

with a team top-five finish 

as a senior. 

She became a three-time All- 

American, and in her collegiate 

career she set records for the 

800- and 1500-meter, the mile, 

and the 4x400 relay. She also 

owns the second-best mark 

in the steeplechase. UMass 

coach Julie LaFreniere spoke 

at length about the many obstacles 

MacLean overcame on her 

way to success. 

MacLean said that the support 

she has received from the 

community has been really 

special and that she felt honored 

following the ceremony. 

But now it’s back to work for 

MacLean. After a brief break to 

rest, she began training again 

on Friday and will be focused 

on the upcoming track-andfield 

world championship. She 

is also gearing up for a second 

Olympic run in 2024 in Paris.

Dear Peabody Resident, 

Elect Ray Melvin 

Light Commissioner 

My name is Ray Melvin and I am a three-time candidate for the Peabody Light commission. 

My 40-year career with a major electric utility as a Power dispatcher and Electrical designer 

I am a strong believer in clean renewable energy such as solar, wind and Geothermal energy 

for the future. I believe the business models of electric utilities are rapidly changing to meet the 

future concerns of green energy. 

As your commissioner I will seek rebates on solar panel programs for our residential customers 

who are interested in alway having lower rates. As Technology continues to evolve, I will seek 

solutions for battery storing electricity and communication solutions such as a LOW cost or 

NO cost WIFI systems installed on our customer owned electric system.

Ward 4: 

By Katelyn Sahagian 

The race for Ward 4 Councilor 

in Peabody is coming to a 

head. The candidates, Edward 

Charest, incumbent, Julie Daigle, 

and John Salisbury-Rowswell 

all spoke about their reasons 

for running and concerns 

they have for the city. 

Charest, the incumbent, is 

running for his third term as 

councilor. He said that he hopes 

he has proven himself to be reliable 

to the people, and show that 

they can contact him day and 

night for just about anything. 

“It makes my day to help,” 

Charest said. “They just want 

someone to listen, and that’s my 

job.” 

He recognizes that one of 

their biggest issues with the 

community is the 40B project 

being built on King Street. He 

hopes that people will realize 

that he did what he felt he was 

able to do. 

A developer had bought the 

land, and had initially decided 

to put age-restricted apartments 

there for seniors. Charest said 

that, due to some backlash from 

the community, the developer 

changed course and went with 

40B, or low-income, housing.

Ward 4 City Council 

candidate Julie Daigle 

Because Peabody is below 

the 10 percent threshold required 

for the city to be in compliance 

with state ordinance, Charest 

said the developers were able to 

skip over the town’s legislation 

and file their documents with the 

state. 

“I feel for the neighborhood,” 

Charest said. “I don’t agree with 

this development. We tried to 

work with them for the best deal 

for the city, but you can’t say no 

now that they’ve gone ahead.” 

Daigle has worked for town 

hall for most of her life. She 

started as an intern under former 

Mayor Peter Torigian, and accepted 

a position as a senior treasury 

clerk under former Mayor 

Mike Bonfanti and was the city’s 

first business liaison, a position 

created by incumbent Mayor 

Edward A. Bettencourt Jr. 

“I thought I’d never leave,” 

Daigle said. 

She had the opportunity to 

move over to the Chamber of 

Commerce after giving birth to 

her son, and has worked there, 

helping create more business opportunities 

throughout Peabody. 

While she did initially support 

the 40B project on King 

Street, Daigle says she has since 

stopped her support. She said the 

project was ideal when it was 

going to be a 55-and-over community, 

but still not a bad idea 

when there would be less units. 

Now that she has seen the full 

proposal, she doesn’t support it 

at all. 

“We need housing in Peabody, 

but we need the right projects,” 

Daigle said. “It’s too bad 

we didn’t work with them earlier 

on for something we all can live 

with there.” 

Daigle said she decided to run 

A SPECIAL OFFER TO OUR READERS! 

SAVE UP TO 25 % 

ON TICKETS TO THE 2021 

because of her son. She wants to 

make Peabody into the community 

she remembers growing up 

in for him and other children of 

his generation. 

“I feel like I’ve been training 

for this all my life. I have a 

good relationship with everyone 

at city hall, they’re like my family.” 

Salisbury-Rowswell is a mo- 

FACEBOOK | ED CHAREST 

Ward 5 City Councilor 

Ed Charest 

lecular biologist running for the 

position of councillor for the 

second time. He doesn’t have 

any experience working in elected 

office but has volunteered for 

many different nonprofit organizations. 

Salisbury-Rowswell said that 

he is running because he feels 

that is his best option to see 

changes made to his neighborhood. 

“I do my homework and 

when something is wrong in 

the ward, I get involved and do 

the fact checking as needed,” 

Salisbury-Rowswell said. “I just 

think that, thus far, we haven’t 

had much of a voice.” 

Salisbury-Rowswell said that 

he wants community members 

to understand everything going 

on in city hall, and that is what 

he feels the role of a city councillor 

should be. He says he has 

brought up manay issues and 

wants to continue doing so 

“A campaign is supposed 

to be a discussion on what the 

neighborhood wants, how good 

of an advocate you are, how well 

you understand neighborhood 

needs,” Salisbury-Rowswell 

said. “I don’t necessarily, I’m 

not looking to look at this as a 

stepping stone. I want to rep my 

neighborhood.”

Council candidates 

Ward 5: 

By Katelyn Sahagian 

The Ward 5 City Council 

candidates are preparing as election 

day gets closer. Joel Saslaw 

(incumbent), Matthew Molk, 

and David Gamache all speak 

about issues in their ward and 

about their inspirations behind 

running. 

Saslaw says that he wants to 

be reelected because he feels he 

represents the people of Peabody 

well. He says that he is a fighter 

for the city and he will continue 

to fight for them at City Hall. 

FILE PHOTO 

Ward 5 City Councilor 

Joel Saslaw 

His main concerns right now 

are the development of affordable 

housing projects under 

Chapter 40B. He says that one 

of his goals is to push for developers 

to be more transparent 

with their initial plans for these 

properties so that the community 

will know more about what is 

coming. 

“Developers who are interested 

in pursuing any 40B developments 

will never get my 

support unless they have open 

and transparent conversations 

with the direct abutters,” Saslaw 

said. “I am a strong believer in 

neighborhood meetings and will 

continue to advocate for them.” 

One of Saslaw’s most important 

influences throughout his 

life has been his mother. He was 

raised in Peabody by a single 

mother and attributes a lot of his 

own strength and drive to her. 

“Being raised by a strong 

independent woman taught me 

how to help and stand up for 

people who are in need and to 

also be their voice when necessary,” 

said Saslaw. 

Molk is a lifelong Peabody 

resident. He works as a director 

of development for GraVoc, a 

technology firm in Peabody. He 

FILE PHOTO 


candidate Matthew Molk 

also serves on the board of directors 

for Peabody Access T.V. 

One major issue that Molk 

thinks the town should capitalize 

on is the idea of creating a townwide 

internet service. He says 

that the pandemic really opened 

his eyes, and that seeing students 

and adults struggling to have reliable 

internet service has made 

him passionate about embracing 

technology even more in his 

campaign. 

“We have city-owned poles, 

and the municipal light plant,” 

Looking for a house? 

Check the real estate section! 

Molk said. “We don’t need to be 

reliant on Comcast and RCN. 

We could have every household 

in Peabody with high-speed internet.” 

Molk says that he feels he 

is the candidate for the young, 

family-oriented generation of 

the Peabody community. He is 

raising his family in the city and 

says that he feels he understands 

the concerns of his community 

and his generation. 

“I’m the next generation who 

is willing and humble enough 

and grateful enough to ask to 

serve his people,” Molk said. 

Gamache was the incumbent 

councillor of Ward 5 for 24 

years. He stepped back in 2013 

so he could spend time with his 

newborn grandson. 

“I regretted it the minute 

I walked out of city hall,” 

Gamache said. “I’m retiring at 

the end of this month and figured 

I would make it a full time 

position.” 

Gamache is worried about 

how understaffed the Department 

of Public Services is in 

Peabody right now. He said he 

wants to help get the staffing 

back to where it should be, before 

tackling other important 

issues. 

Gamache said he wants to 

_______ELECT_______ 

come back and work for the 

city again not only because it’s 

something he has done in the 

past and feels he can do well, but 

he also says that it’s something 

he has always felt called to do. 

“I have lived in Peabody my 

entire life,” Gaamache said. “I 

ran for councilor-at-large at 19. I 

didn’t win but I got the bug back 

then and I’ve always wanted to 

do it.” 

The election is on September 

14. Ward 5 voting for precincts 

1, 2, and 3 will be at Peabody 

High School, 485 Lowell Street 

from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

will choose their own 

routes on October 3 for the 

Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund 

Walk: Your Way presented by 

Hyundai. Participants are encouraged 

to “Walk Your Way”

of other walkers, will participate 

in virtual programming 

during the Walk that aims to 

recreate the most inspiring elements 

of Walk day. While the 

event will not physically bring

famed Boston Marathon course, 

it will unite the community to 

raise funds to support all forms 

of adult and pediatric care and 

cancer research at the nation’s 

premier cancer center, Dana-Farber 

Cancer Institute. The 

event has raised more than $150 

million for Dana-Farber Cancer 

Institute in its 30+ year history. 

This year’s event will have 

a lower fundraising requirement, 

$100 for adults and $25 

for those under 18, with a $5 

registration fee. All registered 

walkers will receive a bib and 

medal and the first 5,000 to register 

will receive a Jimmy Fund 

Walk T-shirt. 

Funds raised from the Jimmy 

Fund Walk support all forms of 

adult and pediatric patient care 

and cancer research at the nation’s 

premier cancer center, 

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 

The Boston Athletic Association 

has supported the Jimmy 

Fund Walk since 1989, and 

Hyundai has been the presenting 

sponsor since 2002.

Peabody celebrates its Little League champions 

By Mike Alongi 

PEABODY — The summer 

may be winding down, but don’t 

tell that to the Peabody West 

Little League all-star team. After 

the team was honored by the 

governor at the State House last 

week, Peabody West came home 

to attend a ceremony held in 

their honor at City Hall Thursday 

afternoon. 

Each Peabody West player was 

given a certificate of achievement 

from Mayor Edward A. 

Bettencourt Jr. and a “Peabody 

Pride” pin; the small banquet 

included pizza, chicken fingers, 

drinks and ice cream. 

“It’s obviously been a tough 

couple of years for a lot of us in 

the city and across the nation, so 

it’s always nice to be able to celebrate 

a great achievement like 

this,” said Mayor Bettencourt. 

“What Peabody West Little 

League was able to do this year 

really brought a lot of pride to 

our community, and we’ll never 

forget it.” 

After taking a team photo 

in front of City Hall, the team 

went inside for the ceremony. 

After some opening remarks, 

Bettencourt called up Peabody 

West manager Mark Bettencourt 

to say a few words. 

“I’ll tell you what, for a team 

that people didn’t think could 

make it out of our district, we 

really showed what we were 

made of this year,” said Mark 

Bettencourt. “I can’t thank the 

city enough for all of its support 

this year, and the way the 

community rallied around this 

team is what keeps me here and 

what makes me proud to be from 

here.” 

The summer run got started in 

the District 16 Tournament, when 

Peabody West — which was by 

no means a favorite coming in 

— dropped the first game of the 

tournament and fell right into the 

losers’ bracket. 

That was the final loss the 

team would suffer for some time, 

as Peabody West won out the 

rest of the way and found itself in 

the District 16 title game against 

cross-town rival Peabody. The 

fireworks continued there, as 

Gabe Casiano came through with 

a clutch, walk-off RBI single in 

the bottom of the sixth to push 

Peabody West on to the Section 

4 Tournament. 

The hot streak continued at 

the next stage, as Peabody West 

found the big bats and got multiple 

home runs from the likes 

of Mark Bettencourt Jr. and 

Brendan Kobierski. The pitching 

was solid the whole way as well, 

with guys like Cullen Pasterick, 

Jimmy DiCarlo and Aidan 

Horgan all throwing quality 

innings throughout the tournament. 

All of that carried Peabody 

West into the Section 4 title 

game against Reading, where 

Bettencourt Jr. and Kobierski 

each smashed a home run en 

route to a 4-2 victory and a 

berth in the state championship 

tournament. 

The first real bit of adversity 

came in the four-team final, 

where Peabody West lost its first 

two games and once again found 

itself with its backs against the 

wall. Peabody West needed to 

both win and put together a big 

run differential in order to finish 

as one of the top two teams. It 

did just that, beating Needham 

National, 8-0, to punch its 

ticket to the big game. Next up 

was Pittsfield American, and 

Peabody West dispatched them 

6-5 to win Peabody’s first Little 

League state championship since 

2009. 

Peabody West then became 

Team Massachusetts and made 

the trip down to Bristol, Conn. 

for the New England Regional. 

After getting a first-round bye, 

Peabody West beat Maine in its 

tournament opener and earned 

a trip right into the semifinal. 

But unfortunately the magic 

ran out there, as Peabody West 

dropped back-to-back games to 

Connecticut and New Hampshire 

to see its season come to an end. 

It’s been an incredible summer 

for sports in Peabody. In addition 

to Peabody West’s run, the 

Peabody seventh- and eighthgrade 

girls lacrosse team took 

home a state championship of 

its own. And let’s not forget 

Olympian Heather MacLean, 

who was honored for her achievements 

on Saturday, which was 

dubbed “Heather MacLean Day” 

in Peabody. 

“We’ve been incredibly lucky 

to have had such a great sports 

summer in Peabody this year,” 

said Mayor Bettencourt. “To be 

able to follow along with everyone’s 

progress all year long has 

really lifted everyone’s spirits 

across the city. We’re all very 

proud.” 

Peabody Mayor Edward A. Bettencourt Jr. gives a citation to 

Aiden Horgan during a celebration of the team’s achievements 

in the Little League World Series.

Peabody golf falls to 

Marblehead in opener 


PEABODY — Behind an under-par 

performance from Matt 

Weed and a host of other strong 

showings, the Marblehead golf 

team got its 2021 season off to 

a great start by taking home a 

42-30 win over Northeastern 

Conference foe Peabody on the 

road at The Meadow at Peabody 

Golf Course Tuesday afternoon. 

Weed had the performance of 

the day on both sides, winning his 

match 6-3 after shooting a score 

of 1-under 35 and making birdies 

on the fifth and seventh holes. He 

was backed up by a strong outing 

from Charlie Grenier, who shot a 

39 and won his match 5-4. Chris 

Locke (5-4), Jacob Hershfield (5- 

4), Adrian Baron (7-2) and Chris 

Cannuscio (6-3) all won their 

respective matches, while Jack 

Sontz tied his match 4 1/2-4 1/2. 

On the Peabody side, it was 

an uphill battle from the start. 

In addition to having a younger 

and more inexperienced lineup 

than Marblehead, the Tanners 

also went into their first match 

without head coach Peter 

Cronan, who tested positive for 

COVID-19 last Friday. Scott 

Meyers, who serves as an assistant 

coach on the Peabody boys 

soccer team, stepped in to fill the 

role on Tuesday. 

“It was a very encouraging 

start to the year for us, because 

I remember last year when we 

played Marblehead we had a hard 

time even getting to 20 points,” 

said Cronan, who is also the head 

golf professional at The Meadow. 

“Our guys are still really young, 

so to see them come out and put 

up a good performance in the first 

match, that bodes well for the rest 

of the year.” 

For the Tanners, the lone 

win of the day came from No. 

5 player Michael Petro, who 

won 6-3. Jacob Richards tied 

his match 4 1/2-4 1/2 in the No. 

8 spot. While the top part of the 

lineup didn’t come away with 

any wins, Peabody’s top four 

players Ryan Brunet (3-6), Matt 

Ryder (4-5), Mike Ryan (4-5) 

and Matt Richards (4-5) all put 

up solid performances. 

“Our guys had to go up 

against some really good players 

(Tuesday), and they held their 

own,” said Cronan. “For Ryan to 

only lose 6-3 to a kid who shot 

1-under and for Matt Ryder to fall 

5-4 to a kid who shot 39, that’s 

impressive. They may not have 

gotten wins, but they played really 

well.” 

Neither team will have much 

time to rest and think about 

this one, as both are scheduled 

to be back in action Thursday. 

Marblehead (1-0) is set to host 

Lynn Classical at Tedesco 

Country Club, while Peabody 

(0-1) will go on the road to face 

Gloucester at Bass Rocks Golf 

Club. 

But with rain threatening to 

cancel all matches on Thursday, 

both teams may be off until Sept. 

9 — which would give Cronan 

enough time to get back to the 

team after his COVID diagnosis. 

“Our goal is to just keep 

building as the year goes on,” 

said Cronan. “We still have an incredibly 

young team, and I think 

we’re going to be able to rack up 

a few wins this year after all of 

our improvements.”

Senior captain Steven Woods is one of only three returning starters for the Bishop Fenwick football 

team this fall.

over with largely new cast 


PEABODY ― It’s never easy 

when a team graduates a large 

senior class, but the Bishop 

Fenwick football team has an 

extra tough road ahead of it this 

fall after graduating 18 players 

from the 2020 team. Not only 

that, but that 2020 team may 

have been one of the best 

Fenwick teams ever, according 

to head coach Dave Woods. 

The Crusaders were undefeated 

this past spring, dominating 

teams from start to finish 

en route to a Catholic Central 

League title. 

“That very well may have 

been the best team we’ve ever 

had,” said Woods, now in his 

24th season as the Crusaders’ 

head coach. “We graduated 

18 seniors, and 10 of them are 

playing college football while 

one is playing college baseball 

and another is playing college 

lacrosse. But not only were 

they talented players, they were 

great kids and real leaders for 

this team. Now, we’re basically 

starting from scratch this year.” 

The Crusaders are only returning 

three starters from 

last year’s team in senior captains 

Steven Woods and Chris 

Faraca along with fellow senior 

William Gibbs. Junior captain 

Costa Beechin is another 

returning player who will be 

looked upon for leadership on a 

young Fenwick team. 

“Those guys are going to be 

depended on quite a bit for leadership 

because they’re the only 

guys left who saw the field last 

year,” said Woods. “We treated 

the spring season as a last goaround 

for the seniors, so none 

of the underclassmen really saw 

the field.” 

But, while that means that 

Fenwick has a lot of inexperience 

on this year’s roster, 

Woods also sees it as an opportunity 

for younger players to 

step up and make their mark on 

the team. 

“A lot of those sophomores 

from last year sat and watched 

how the seniors operated, and 

now they’re juniors and they’re 

getting a chance to play,” said 

Woods. “It’s been good to see 

those guys really try to take 

charge in practice and push for 

a spot. It’s been a fun camp.” 

It also helps that this fall’s 

training camp is much more of 

a normal one ― with two full 

weeks of practices leading up 

to the fall season. And with a 

joint practice against Hamilton- 

Wenham along with a scrimmage 

against Danvers, the 

Crusaders have gotten a good 

look at where they need to 

improve. 

“It’s been a great two weeks 

and we’ve made some strides, 

but we also know we have a 

long way to go,” said Woods. 

“That’s just how it is when you 

have such a young team, but 

they guys have been enthusiastic 

about practice every day 

and they’ve been really getting 

after it.” 

All of that work has finally 

led up to the first game week of 

the season, as Fenwick prepares 

to take on an unfamiliar opponent 

in South Hadley Friday 

night (7) at Donaldson Stadium. 

“It seems like forever since 

we’ve had a normal week of 

preparation, so it’s nice to be 

back in the groove,” said Woods. 

“It’ll be an interesting week because 

we’ve never played South 

Hadley and we don’t know anything 

about them, but we’re all 

just excited to open the season 

under the lights and in front of 

our home crowd.”

PEABODY HISTORICAL 

SOCIETY UPCOMING EVENT: 

From the Peabody 

historical society 

In collaboration with the 

Mass Cultural Council, Boston 

on Fire: A History of Fires and 

Firefighting in Boston will be 

held on Wednesday, Sept. 22 via 

Zoom at 1 p.m. 

Journalist Stephanie Schorow 

is the featured speaker. Fires 

have shaped Boston since its 

founding on a narrow peninsula 

in 1630. Schorow tells the dramatic 

tales of seventeenth-century 

fires (which were viewed 

as signs of God’s wrath), the 

1834 Ursuline convent fire, the 

Great Fire of 1872, the Chelsea 

conflagrations of 1908 and 

1973, the tragic Cocoanut Grove 

nightclub fire of 1942, the Vendome 

Hotel collapse that killed 

nine firefighters in 1972 and an 

arson ring that terrorized the city 

in the 1980s. In her book of the 

same name, there are also chapters 

devoted to two key Boston 

innovations: the Hunneman fire 

engine and the citywide fire 

alarm system (first in the nation) 

developed by William Francis 


Channing and Moses Farmer. 

There is no charge to participate, 

thanks to a grant from the Bridge 

Street Fund, a special initiative 

of Mass Humanities. To register, 

go to https://peabodyhistorical. 

org/programs-exhibits/. 

(Courtesy of the Peabody 

Historical Society.) 

On Wednesday, October 13th 

at 1pm, historian Alan Pierce 

presents "The Jewish History of 

Peabody." We hope this lecture 

will be in-person, but stay tuned! 

This lecture is separate from the 

Bridge Street series. 

It’s time to celebrate! 

The Peabody High School 

Class of 1970 will be having 

their 50-plus-one-year reunion 

on Saturday, September 25. The 

event will be held from 7 p.m. 

to midnight at Teresa's Function 

Hall, 20 Elm St., in North Reading. 

Tickets are $60.00 per person. 

Dinner will be served and 

there will be a cash bar. 

Any Peabody High Class of 

'70 grad interested in celebrating 

with us should make a payment 

to Michael Gargas at 70 Washington 

St. Suite 312, Salem, MA 

01970.
