Purple is the color of recovery, as designated by National Recovery Month. 

Purple lights, flags, and ribbons decorate the lawn and trees on the town 

Common. 

By AlenA KuzuB 

A Night of Hope colored the 

Lynnfield Common in purple and 

brought more than two hundred 

people of all ages together on Sunday 

evening to acknowledge the issues of 

substance use disorders and celebrate 

National Recovery Month. 

A Healthy Lynnfield (AHL) and the 

Think of Michael Foundation came 

together to sponsor this third annual 

free community event, designed to 

build awareness and to create a sense 

of community and support for individuals 

and families who are faced 

with the impact of substance use disorders, 

said Peg Sallade, substance 

use prevention coordinator at AHL. 

“National Recovery Month recognizes 

the journey that people that 

have substance use disorders embark 

on to remain healthy,” said Sallade. 

“It is meant to celebrate hope and encourage 

others who struggle with the 

disease of substance abuse in a very 

encouraging way.” 

During the pandemic, substance 

use rates have increased nationally, 

said Sallade. As of June 2020, 13 percent 

of Americans reported starting 

or increasing substance use as a way 

of coping with stress or emotions 

related to COVID-19, according to 

the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). More than 40 

U.S. states have seen increases in opioid-related 

deaths, according to the 

American Medical Association. 

“Substance use knows no borders,” 

said Sallade. “Lynnfield is not unlike 

any other community.” 

“I lost my son to the addiction 

and we wanted to do something in 

his memory,” said Carmela Dalton, 

Lynnfield resident and president of

Pioneering 

spirit no longer 

on display 

By SAm minton 

While Lynnfield High School Principal 

Robert Cleary claims that it was simple 

maintenance, residents are upset that a 

mural of a Pioneer logo — the school’s 

mascot — was painted over on the gymnasium 

wall as part of a summer renovation 

project. 

With school back in session, residents 

only recently discovered that the painting 

of an old Pioneer logo had been removed 

from the gym. Much of the public outcry 

has been over the story behind the mural; 

it was a gift from the Lynnfield High Class 

of 1979 and had been there since that time.

the Think of Michael Foundation, 

which provides sober house 

scholarships and recovery advocacy. 

“This is a fine night to get 

everybody together in the community, 

to make the community 

aware of the addiction, talk about 

it, erase the stigma, and it worked 

out well.” 

In 2019, 600 people came 

out to the first Night of Hope 

in Lynnfield. Last year, the 

event took the shape of a car 

parade due to the COVID-19 

pandemic. 

“Now we are making a positive 

effect because people are 

coming to us and asking for 

advice, seeking help, which is 

good,” said Dalton. “If we can 

prevent tragedy from happening 

to another family, it makes us 

really feel good. Just helping 

everybody and helping people 

talk about it. I can’t bring 

my son back, but it is a good 

feeling when we see that there 

are people in recovery and they 

are doing well.” 

The event brought together residents 

and town visitors, partners 

from the faith community, town 

officials, and politicians. State 

Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn) 

and Rep. Bradley Jones (D-20th 

Middlesex) attended the event. 

Purple is the color that marks 

the theme of recovery, so attendees 

received and wore pastel 

purple T-shirts with “A Night of 

Hope” on the front surrounded 

by white-and-yellow stars, and 

“Think of Michael Foundation” 

and “A Healthy Lynnfield” on 

the back. Purple lapel ribbons 

were also available. 

The crowd gathered at the 

Lynnfield Middle School at 6 p.m. 

and walked down to the Lynnfield 

Common, which volunteers decorated 

with purple ribbons and 

flags. Guests were invited to take 

purple votives and write messages 

to somebody who struggles with 

addiction on purple paper stars. 

The speaking portion of the 

event took place from a stage in 

front of the Old Meeting House, 

lit with a purple projection as well. 

“Your presence is more 

than a walk,” said the Town 

Administrator Rob Dolan to the 

crowd. “You are making a statement. 

Instead of watching from 

the sidelines you are making a 

stand to improve our community.” 

Dolan said that Phil Crawford, 

town selectman and chairman of 

AHL, had an idea for the town’s 

response to the substance-use 

epidemic in 2017, and Sen. 

Crighton and Rep. Jones helped 

the town secure the funding for 

the Lynnfield Substance Abuse 

Prevention Coalition in the 

form of $100,000 over the next 

two years, as well as a federal 

grant of more than $1 million. 

“Our goal at the time was to 

bring awareness, education, and 

resources for those in need. We 

continue to have tremendous community 

support,” said Crawford. 

“Together we work to prevent 

substance misuse to improve the 

quality [of life] for those impacted 

and to support programs that help 

all young people thrive.” 

Jamie Dalton, son of Carmella 

and Select Board Chair Dick 

Dalton, spoke about experience 

with substance use disorder and 

the decision to start his personal 

recovery on January 18, 

2018 after his brother Michael’s 

death. 

“I’ve learned that stars can’t 

shine without darkness, and my 

WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 

past has given me the strength 

which led to the wisdom I have 

today. So I celebrate my past 

and don’t let it haunt me. I have 

been inspired and gotten hope 

from so many in the recovery 

community and many that are 

here tonight,” said Dalton. 

Dalton, who has a background 

in financial advising 

and wealth management, said 

that he now works as a recovery 

coach at North Suffolk Mental 

Health and serves on the board 

of Recovery Works, a nonprofit 

program at Massachusetts 

General Hospital that helps 

people with substance use disorders 

find employment. The 

organization received $200,000 

in its first year and $800,000 the 

following year in funding with 

the help from Rep. Jones and 

Sen. Crighton. 

“My hope is that by having 

this event and others like it, 

bringing so many people together 

in the local community 

and the recovery community, 

we create hope for a better tomorrow 

and we continue to 

make strides in recovery in all 

forms across all levels of care 

and increase access to all levels 

of care,” Dalton said. 

Keriann Caccavaro, who is a 

program director at the Bridge 

Recovery Center in Malden, also 

spoke about her personal experience 

with addiction and recovery. 

“If it wasn’t for the recovery 

community, I don’t think I 

would be staying here today,” 

she said. “We fight every single 

day to live, not to die.” 

As it started to get dark, everyone 

lit candles inside purple 

votives for a closing prayer. 

Several faith leaders from various 

denominations said prayers 

for those who are on the road 

to recovery, those who made 

it through their first day of sobriety, 

and for those suffering 

from mental illness of any kind. 

“Let’s commit to make every 

night the night of hope,” said 

Dolan, bidding farewell to the 

crowd. “You are part of the 

solution.” 

Tree-preservation 

bylaw finally 

coming to fruition 

By Sam minton 

It might have taken two 

years, but the town’s Treepreservation 

bylaw is nearing 

the finish line. 

The bylaw was originally 

supposed to be attached to a 

warrant for the June 12th Town 

Meeting, but it was denied by 

the Select Board and sent back 

for further deliberation before 

the fall Town Meeting on Oct. 

18. 

Even though the process 

has been long for the planning 

board, it has given the 

board the time to make the best 

bylaw possible for Lynnfield, 

according to Planning Board 

Chair Brian Charville. 

After a meeting last week, 

the town’s Planning Board has 

tailored the bylaw to ensure 

that it serves the residents of 

Lynnfield as best as possible. 

In the intervening months, the 

board had received feedback 

from the community as well 

as the Select Board on ways to 

improve the effectiveness of the 

proposed bill. 

“We think now we have addressed 

all the concerns that 

have been brought to us by the 

Select Board and constituents,” 

Charville said. 

If the bylaw is to be adopted, 

it will only apply to four types 

of building activities, Charville 

added. 

“The only tree removal that 

would be regulated with this 

(bylaw) is tree removal that is 

done related to a new subdivision, 

new home construction, a 

site plan ― which typically is 

for commercial property (and) 

not residential ― or a special 

permit granted by the Planning 

Board,” he said. 

Charville said the board made 

these changes because they had 

heard concerns that the bylaw 

shouldn’t apply to the average 

homeowner who is performing 

simple tree upkeep. 

“The residents are very worried 

and concerned and we want 

to respond to that concern,” said 

Planning Board member Amy 

MacNulty in May, when the 

bylaw’s entry onto the Town 

Meeting warrant was delayed. 

“So we’re ready. I know you’re 

not ready and I wish you were. 

I don’t know why it took this 

delay, but this is what’s going 

to come in October, too. We’re 

ready to go.” 

Charville said that he presented 

the revised bylaw at 

a Select Board meeting on 

Monday to answer questions as 

the Planning Board looks to finally 

push this bylaw across the 

finish line.

Jaime Sloan, the owner of Sanctum Style at MarketStreet 

Lynnfield, rests her hand on a shelf that she and her husband 

hand built with wood sourced from the Portsmith Naval Yard. 

New retailers set to open 

at MarketStreet Lynnfield 

BY ANNE MARIE TOBIN 

MarketStreet Lynnfield is 

kicking off the holiday shopping 

season with eight new retailers 

set to open this fall. 

Sanctum Style, an upscale 

men’s and women’s fashion 

boutique, is the latest retailer to 

join MarketStreet Lynnfield’s 

unique mix of locally-owned 

shops and national brands stores 

this season. 

So far, so good. 

“Business has been good, so 

I can’t complain,” said Jaime 

Sloan, a Marbehead native. 

“People are still discovering us, 

but I have a great group of customers 

from my North Andover 

store and they are so loyal, so 

they are finding me. This location 

has turned out to be an ideal 

location for my business. Being 

able to open here at MarketStreet 

Lynnfield has been a huge win 

for us.” 

Sloan is no stranger to the 

world of luxury fashion and fine 

jewelry. She worked for over 

a decade in New York City for 

several top retailers including 

Barney’s New York, John Hardy 

and David Yurman at Saks 5th 

Avenue, as well as Tiffany & 

Company on 5th Avenue. A 

self-proclaimed anti-fashion 

fashionista, she said she developed 

her no-nonsense style 

philosophy from her experience 

as an opera singer in New York 

City as well as her experience 

working in high fashion. 

“I just kind of fell into luxury 

retailing when I was running 

around the city performing and 

I had clients who needed wardrobe 

help, like I did,” she said. 

“It was a matter of being able to 

always be ready while carrying 

around as little as you could.” 

Sloan describes Sanctum Style 

as an upscale boutique offering 

a multi-designer assortment and 

the latest in fashion trends. Sloan 

said its assortment is inspired by 

her love of fashion and contemporary 

city style. Notable brands 

include Frame and Paige Denim 

in both men’s and women’s 

styles, Vince, Faherty, Rails, and 

ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo 

for men, and Good American, 

Misa Los Angeles, Ramy Brook, 

and Jonathan Simkhai for 

women. 

Sloan said a sanctum is defined 

as “a sacred and holy place 

where one is free from intrusion,” 

and that is exactly what 

her Sanctum Style provides her 

clients. 

“Created as a special place 

to discover not only what is 

new and current, Sanctum Style 

seeks to enhance and transform 

one’s personal style,” said Sloan, 

who describes her style as “cosmopolitan” 

with an emphasis on 

“upscale casual.” 

The majority of Sanctum 

Style’s client base is aged 30-55. 

“We cater to a lot of people in 

banking, real estate, people who 

generally are more professional, 

nore conservative, but we also 

have a lot of moms who want 

functional wardrobes,” Sloan 

said. 

The store provides a personalized 

shopping service with 

knowledgeable stylists on hand 

to work one-on-one with guests. 

Personal shopping appointments 

are also available to book online 

at www.sanctumstyle.com or on 

socialmedia@sanctumstyle. 

The store, which opened its 

doors on Labor Day, is looking 

ahead to the holidays. 

“September generally is an interesting 

month, so right now we

However, Cleary, who also 

happens to be a member of the 

Class of 1979, said the reasons 

for its removal were perfectly 

reasonable. 

“The logo that was on there 

was 10 years out of date,” he 

said. “It’s been updated; we 

don’t use that logo anymore. 

Then, the other part of it (is) it’s 

been 20 years since the gym has 

been painted so we had the opportunity 

to paint the gym and it 

didn’t make any sense to leave 

an outdated logo that didn’t even 

have the proper colors on it.” 

“I’ve been waiting 20 years 

to be able to brighten up that 

gym.” 

While Cleary appreciates the 

sentiment behind the old class 

gift, he said it was no longer 

practical to have an outdated 

logo of the school mascot. 

“(We have) since changed 

our school colors and the actual 

image of the mascot, so it 

was pretty outdated. There was 

no need to keep that there,” he 

added. 

Still, other graduates — both 

from that time period and newer 

alumni — were upset to learn 

that the logo was removed from 

the wall. 

Cooper Marengi, a recent 

graduate and three-sport high 

school all-star, is one of them. 

Marengi, who currently attends 

and plays football at Endicott 

College along with his younger 

brother Clayton ― also a threesport 

star ― said that he discovered 

the logo was gone a 

few weeks ago while playing 

basketball in the gym. 

“It was just a huge shock to 

me,” he said. 

For Marengi and his family, 

the logo is a lot more than just 

an image of the American pioneer, 

Davy Crockett. 

“It’s been everywhere my entire 

life,” said Marengi. “I think 

our hockey jerseys might have 

been the only ones with the 

Pioneer head on it, but we tried 

to preserve that head on our 

jerseys even when we got new 

jerseys. I really wanted to make 

sure that we kept that Pioneer 

PHOTO | SPENSER HASAK 

head on the new uniforms that 

we got just because it’s always 

been such a big center point of 

our high-school years.” 

The love of the Pioneer logo 

even stands today with current 

Lynnfield High students. For 

example, junior football player 

Robert Marley said that he 

doesn’t know why the logo is 

gone but hopes that there will 

be no changes regarding the 

school mascot in general. 

“I just hope they don’t get rid 

of it,” he said. “I think it has 

been a big part of the school for 

a while.” 

Cleary said the newly-blank 

wall will offer more opportunities 

to drum up school support 

among students at events held 

in the gym. 

“The thought was we now 

have a totally blank, white wall 

which we can use to project 

images on during games, pep 

rallies and other events,” he 

said. “We still have Lynnfield 

Pioneers images on the floor 

and at both ends of the gym so 

it’s not like we’ve eliminated 

the logo — far from it.”

For the Weekly NeWs 

LYNN — One result of the 

global pandemic and its long-term 

isolation is the need to find innovative 

ways through which people 

can stay connected. 

One such effort includes a new 

tool that Greater Lynn Senior 

Services (GLSS), which serves 

town residents, is piloting called 

Uniper — a device that plugs into 

your television set, along with a 

small camera which perches on 

top, enabling one-on-one communication 

with case managers, 

healthcare providers, counselors, 

family and friends. 

“The COVID-19 pandemic 

pretty much destroyed the limited 

social connections that many 

older people or adults living with 

disabilities already experience,” 

said Kathryn C. Burns, GLSS’ 

chief executive officer. “Research 

shows that isolation, particularly 

long-term isolation, has a very 

negative effect on people’s overall 

health, significantly contributing 

to premature death from all causes 

and increasing a person’s risk of 

diseases like dementia.” 

Uniper loads an individual’s 

contacts into its device, allowing 

for immediate virtual connection. 

“This is really the primary

sisters under God.

reason we chose Uniper over 

the many other platforms we 

reviewed,” said Valerie Parker 

Callahan, director of planning and 

development. “We view it first and 

foremost as a communications 

tool to help people better manage 

their health and well-being, with 

Uniper’s built-in programming as 

a secondary — but very helpful — 

add-on to reduce social isolation 

and promote stronger connections 

with the wider community.” 

It is easy to use with a simple remote 

that allows people to quickly 

transition from Uniper back to 

television programming. 

“Many platforms that allow 

for virtual connection require a 

computer, tablet or smartphone, 

which many older people do not 

have and might be uncomfortable 

using,” Parker Callahan noted. 

“But Uniper only requires a TV, 

which most people already have 

and use regularly.” 

Uniper’s existing content includes 

access to hundreds of 

videos — travel, arts and culture, 

music and educational programs, 

as well as “live” programming 

that includes exercise and other 

classes, peer-led discussion 

groups, support groups and more 

— which are available throughout

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

To the Lynnfield community, 

Please join us for the annual 

Breast Friends Walk to support 

breast cancer awareness 

and research. This annual 

walk will be held at Devereux 

Beach in Marblehead on 

October 10 at 9:30 AM. We 

hope you will consider donating 

online at https://because.massgeneral.org/event/ 

breast-friends-walk-2021 

This walk is very important 

to me and to my family. Breast 

Cancer has been affecting our 

family for many years. In 2007, 

when I was just two years old, 

my maternal grandmother, 

Eleanor Canter, was diagnosed 

with breast cancer. In 2009, 

my aunt, Kara Lucien, was 

diagnosed with breast cancer. 

A few years later, my paternal 

grandmother, Gail Lucien, was 

diagnosed and during the fall 

of 2018 my mom, Elizabeth 

(Canter) Lucien, was diagnosed 

with Stage 4 Metastatic 

breast cancer. She fought hard 

for 5 months before passing 

away in February of 2019. 

My mom was born and raised 

in Lynnfield to my grandparents, 

Eleanor and Lawrence 

Canter, who still reside there. 

My aunt, (her only sibling) 

Rebecca (Canter) Scenna, also 

lives in Lynnfield with her husband, 

John Scenna, and my 

three cousins, and has been a 

teacher in Lynnfield for many 

years. 

My mom graduated from 

Lynnfield High School and 

was a member of the National 

Honor Society, the student 

council, the field hockey team 

and captain of the track team 

and more. She attended the 

University of Michigan and 

graduated from the College of 

Arts and Sciences as an 

English major in the honors 

program. She was an active 

member of the Delta 

Delta Delta sorority as well 

as a True Blue Recruiter. 

She worked as an admissions 

counselor at Wentworth 

Institute of Technology prior 

to receiving her MBA from 

Babson College. Beth worked 

in marketing for two startup 

companies: Axiomatic Design 

and Mascot.com. Then, she 

spent several years working 

for the City of Melrose as the 

assistant to Mayor Rob Dolan, 

Lynnfield’s current town manager. 

My mom then moved to 

Yarmouth, Maine where she 

worked as 

an administrative assistant to 

the Principal at Yarmouth High 

School. 

After returning to Melrose 

in 2016, Beth worked for the 

SDM Foundation in Melrose 

helping clients improve their 

computer proficiency. Over the 

years, my mom never forgot 

where she was born and raised 

and was a proud Lynnfield 

Pioneer at heart. 

My mom, Beth Lucien, 

is remembered as an intelligent, 

quick-witted, accepting, 

and loving person. She was a 

beacon of love, strength, inspiration, 

and positivity for our 

family and for so many others 

and she continues to be so very 

dearly missed. What she loved 

most was being a 

mother to me and to my two 

brothers, Joseph and Patrick 

Lucien, and watching us excel 

in school, sports, and in our social 

lives. I know deep in my 

heart that organizing this event 

is exactly what my mom would 

do if she were in my situation. 

My aunt Kara and her 

daughter Grace participated 

in the Breast Friends Walk 

for many years and eventually 

Grace took over running the 

entire event. This year, Grace is 

away at college and has handed 

the reins over to me. Taking 

over and organizing the Breast 

Friends Walk is very personal 

to me and is one way I can 

honor my mom. This walk was 

always very important to her, 

before her own diagnosis, as 

a way to support our multiple 

family members that have been 

affected by this terrible disease. 

In the fall of 2018, after my 

mom was diagnosed, a huge 

group of family and friends 

came to the Breast Friends 

walk on her behalf to show 

their support and encouragement, 

decked out in a sea of 

blue “Beth Strong” t-shirts. 

After seeing so many people 

come out to walk for her, as she 

was already too sick to walk, 

she wrote a note thanking them 

all. She wrote that it was extremely 

overwhelming and 

“Don’t ever believe that supporting 

people does not make 

a difference.” It was incredibly 

uplifting for our entire family 

to see the endless support from 

our community, near and far. 

People came down from Maine 

the night before and stayed in 

hotels so they could show their 

support, in person. 

I am honored to now have 

an opportunity to play a bigger 

role in this important event. 

I hope you will donate to this 

important cause for people 

who continue to be affected by 

breast cancer and I also hope to 

see you at Devereux Beach to 

walk with me and my family. 

You can help me make a difference 

in the lives of so many 

others battling breast cancer 

by helping me raise funds and 

improve access to cancer care 

for vulnerable and/or high 

risk patients by coming out 

to The Breast Friends Walk at 

Devereux Beach in Marblehead 

on Sunday, October 10 at 9:30 

AM. Funds raised will go to 

breast cancer patients at the 

MGH Healthcare Center, which 

is a part of Massachusetts 

General Hospital. 

Thank you for your support. 

Gratefully, 

Emily Lucien

LAG seeking collaboration for fall art show 

Calling all Lynnfield nonprofit 

organizations to be showcased 

on the Commons during 

the Lynnfield Art Guild’s fall art 

show! 

For 18 months, barred from inperson 

events, the Lynnfield Art 

Guild has been chomping at the 

bit! Now that we can get together 

again, we are super excited and 

we would like the whole community 

to join us in celebration. 

After much online presence 

and countless Zoom events, 

we are ready for our traditional 

fall art show at the Lynnfield 

Community House…...only 

bigger and better. 

We are planning a two-day 

event on the first weekend in 

November (November 6 and 

7), with original art from our 

talented members from 10 a.m. 

- 3 p.m. As usual, we will show 

and sell the works of our talented 

members in the Lynnfield 

Meeting House. 

This year, thanks to the support 

of the Town of Lynnfield’s 

administrators, we have reserved 

the Commons during our 

show for both our artisans and 

neighbor organizations. We hope 

to be joined outdoors with information 

booths hosted by representatives 

of many Lynnfield 

nonprofit organizations active 

in the community. The event is 

scheduled to occur rain or shine. 

For further information, please 

contact Dan Abenaim, LAG 

president, who can be reached 

through our website: www.lynnfieldarts.org 

Dear friends, 

Unfortunately, due to the 

current state of COVID-19 

and the uncertainty regarding 

new variants, we had to make 

the difficult decision to postpone 

the LMG Casino Night 

Fundraiser. We made this difficult 

decision because we care 

deeply about the safety and 

wellbeing of our members and 

our community at large. 

We are so appreciative of 

your support, and we hope 

you will be as excited as we 

are about our rescheduled 

date of Friday, May 13, 2022.

scaled back the request to 5-10

board member Phil Crawford. 

“I know this is a great event 

but I think we should avoid 

serving during the final hour of 

the tournament, which makes 

amazing cause – Lynnfield

Many of my clients have been 

asking about hydration lately. 

“Am I drinking enough water?” 

“Should I drink more?” “I 

don’t want my kids to get dehydrated.” 

Staying hydrated is a hot topic 

especially this time of year! These 

warm days can put us at risk for 

dehydration and we may need to 

do more than just drink water. 

Proper hydration, called “cellular 

hydration” means having 

adequate fluids present in your 

body for all of our cells to work 

their magic. This depends on 

many factors, including getting 

the right amount of electrolytes, 

which are minerals that regulate 

fluid balance and many other vital 

body functions. 

Many people drink plenty of 

water but don’t replenish electrolytes, 

leaving them at risk for 

electrolyte imbalances or deficiencies, 

which can cause symptoms 

like headaches, cramps, 

fatigue, weakness, and cravings 

(our bodies way of trying to get 

us to consume more of these electrolytes). 

Additionally, nursing 

mothers are often low on electrolytes, 

and studies show that 

optimizing electrolytes can also 

improve milk supply. 

Electrolytes are found in the 

food we eat, but many people 

don’t get enough with their typical 

diet (especially with consuming 

a lot of highly-processed 

foods). 

Magnesium, sodium, and 

potassium are three of the most 

helpful. Here’s the breakdown: 

600mg of magnesium 

5000 mg of sodium 

4700 mg of potassium 

Studies show that these are the 

recommended amounts that our 

bodies need each day to function 

at its best. To meet these daily 

needs (which many of us don’t) 

and support hydration, I always 

recommend including a variety 

of real, whole foods that are nutrient 

dense in your diet each day 

to ensure you’re getting sufficient 

amounts. 

Foods high in magnesium: almonds, 

pumpkin seeds, spinach, 

and leading female intimate apparel 

company, Aerie. 

Abercrombie & Fitch and 

Hollister expect to open in 

October, while Levi’s NextGen, 

Burton’s, Semper Laser, and 

Aerie plan to open in November. 

Additionally, Massachusettsbased 

athleisure brand Booty by 

Brabants, which has made its 

mark at MarketStreet Lynnfield 

as a wildly popular pop-up over 

the past two years, will return 

to MarketStreet Lynnfield in 

October with its first ever permanent 

location next month. More 

information at www.marketstreetlynnfield.com 

General Manager Charlotte 

Woods said the new store openings 

contribute to MarketStreet 

Lynnfield’s mission of creating 

places people love, with something 

for everyone to experience. 

Each brand represents a 

forward-thinking approach to 

retail that will continue to make 

MarketStreet Lynnfield a destination 

the North Shore loves when 

it comes to retail, fashion, beauty, 

wellness, and dining. 

“We are beyond excited to roll 

out such an exciting lineup of new 

must-shop destinations this fall, 

along with one of our property’s 

most highly-anticipated restaurant 

openings, Burtons Grill and 

Bar,” Woods said. “MarketStreet 

Lynnfield is lucky to welcome 

some of the brightest and best in 

the industry – from thriving local 

brands to iconic national retailers. 

We can’t wait for our customers 

to experience these new openings 

this season.” 

Hydration is H2-oh-so important 

sunflower seeds, dark chocolate. 

Foods high in potassium: avocado, 

salmon, lentils, beans, 

sweet potatoes, tomatoes 

In terms of sodium, real, 

whole foods are naturally low 

in sodium. Therefore, we have 

to supplement with salting our 

foods. I recommend an unrefined 

salt because it is organically rich 

in minerals. 

If you need to fill in the gaps 

with your diet, I recommend supplementing 

with electrolytes. 

Unflavored, sugar-free electrolyte 

powder is available to mix 

in water, or you can make your 

own. Making sure we are getting 

these essential electrolytes, 

allows each of our body systems 

to function optimally, which improves 

our overall health and 

well-being!

Bridgewell assists those turning 22 

PHOTO | SHUTTERSTOCK 


At Bridgewell, our team delivers 

on our mission to inspire 

hope and empower people experiencing 

life challenges to 

achieve their fullest potential. 

One critical area of need for 

individuals with intellectual 

and developmental disabilities 

is building independent living 

skills as they graduate, upon 

turning 22 years old, from residential 

educational environments. 

Bridgewell recently 

launched a pilot program in partnership 

with the Department of 

Development Services (DDS) 

designed to serve as a “bridge” 

model, helping individuals turning 

22 transition from highly-supervised 

environments, with 

24/7 direct support, to living 

more independently in the community 

with fewer needed supports. 

“There is a huge gap in 

support for individuals in this 

age group, and the need for 

skill-building among these individuals 

as they mature is 

massive,” said Andrea Ward, 

Bridgewell’s residential director 

of individual supports. 

Based in Wakefield, the program 

provides participants with 

support on structuring an independent 

routine based on needs 

determined during a living skills 

assessment process. Bridgewell 

staff help participants create 

individual development goals 

and build independent living 

skills, such as meal planning and 

preparation, financial skills such 

as budgeting and paying bills, 

laundry, navigating the community, 

taking care of their health, 

and coping strategies. Job skills 

training is also a key component 

of the program. 

In addition to direct support 

from Bridgewell staff, program 

participants also benefit from 

cutting-edge technology, including 

smart home technology and 

a care.coach digital platform, 

which provides a new channel 

of communication and care delivery 

in the home. The digital 

platform offers capabilities ranging 

from telemedicine to a 24/7 

engaging avatar companion, all 

of which can be customized to 

meet a wide range of needs. 

“Most young adults have the 

desire to live independently in 

their own space after they’ve 

finished school. I am excited to 

be part of this new Bridgewell 

service, supporting these young 

adults as they learn the skills to 

move into adulthood and live independently 

in their own space 

– whatever that may be for each 

of them,” said Jennifer Dinan, 

Bridgewell’s residential manager, 

who also oversees day-today 

operations of the program. 

The program is intended for 

participants to be enrolled for 

24-48 months with staff support, 

but then to “graduate” 

and be prepared to safely transition 

into the community, gain 

steady employment, and live 

as independently as possible. 

This is a new service for DDS 

and Bridgewell, with no other 

programs like it available in the 

North Shore area. Based on the 

learnings of this pilot program, 

we hope to grow and expand this 

individual support programming 

into other communities we serve 

in Metro North. 

LETTER TO THE EDITOR 

To the editor, 

Two weeks ago, the Weekly 

New kindly published my 

letter about the recent kerfuffle 

between the Town of Lynnfield 

and the Lynnfield Historical 

Society. I tried to point out that 

the loss of the Society’s 501(c) 

(3) status had been blown out 

of proportion. However, another 

writer in last week’s Weekly 

says she scoffed at my characterization 

of the Society as forgetful 

history buffs. She challenged 

my understanding of the 

IRS’ published policies that help 

small, voluntary nonprofit organizations 

remedy their failure to 

submit the necessary paperwork. 

She identified herself as an 

attorney and offered her professional 

opinion that nonprofit 

organizations are under intense 

Federal scrutiny and that the 

Society’s failure to submit the 

A TRADITION OF TRUST, CARING & PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1952

proper forms for a number of 

years “is a grave infraction that 

should not be swept under the 

rug.” She insinuated that something 

dark and sinister was afoot. 

So, which of us was correct? 

By good luck, the Historical Society 

just received a letter from 

the IRS that begins with, “We 

are pleased to tell you that we 

have determined you’re exempt 

from Federal Income Tax under 

Internal Revenue Code 501(c) 

(3)”. This was the most upbeat 

letter from the IRS that I have 

ever seen. If the IRS felt that the 

Historical Society was as sinister 

as that writer believes, I doubt it 

they would have used the word 

“pleased”. How did this attorney 

get it so wrong? 

Well, the truth is that she got 

nearly everything in her letter 

wrong. That writer went on to 

suggest that the Historical Society 

obfuscated its financial situation 

in order to profit from renting 

out a Town-owned building. 

She questioned the lack of financial 

transparency, asked about 

secretive payment of salary to an 

individual to manage the rental 

of the Meeting House, and suggested 

that since all of the Society’s 

reserve funds came from 

those rentals, those funds should 

be turned over to the Lynnfield 

Historical Commission. 

That is just hogwash. The 

financial records are freely 

available. She just didn’t ask 

for them. They prove without 

a doubt that her financial questions 

are simply inventions 

of someone’s imagination. 

Over the past 22 years, the total 

income of the Society was 

$445,080, with expenses of 

$427,356 (overwhelming devoted 

to the Meeting House). The 

Society has cleared a grand total 

of about $17,000. Surely, no 

sensible person could think that 

the Society was enriching itself. 

Had the Society been allowed to 

complete the kitchen renovation, 

much of that money would have 

been consumed. 

One change that is easily seen 

in the data is the change in sources 

of annual income. My mother 

tells me that when she and my 

father chaired the Country Store, 

it generated over $20,000 per 

year for the Society. By the early 

2000s, the net income from 

the Country Store had fallen to 

less than $4000 per year, and in 

2019 it was less than $2500. To 

counter that decline, the Society 

has increased the rentals of the 

Meeting House. But unlike the 

Country Store, where the workload 

was concentrated in November 

and early December and 

was shared by dozens of members, 

the rental management has 

become year-round, often with 

multiple rentals each weekend, 

and falls to only one person. In 

2017, when no one would volunteer 

to carry the load, the Society’s 

Board authorized a modest 

stipend of about $4800 per 

year. Linda Gillon took on that 

responsibility and continues to 

do it because no one would step 

forward after she was later elected 

president. Somehow, her continuing 

to do this essential task 

has been twisted by last week’s 

letter writer into the false notion 

of the Society President receiving 

a secret salary. 

The other writer appears to 

confuse the annual Society income 

with its separate endowment 

that was established well 

before 2000 in the years when 

rental income was negligible. 

The endowment was established 

by generous gifts of supporters 

of the Historical Society back 

when people like my father 

served as president. 

That writer also questions 

the stewardship of the Society’s 

wonderful collection of 

historical artifacts. She says she 

snooped through the windows 

of the Pope-Richard Center and 

saw disarray. What she actually 

saw were all of the artifacts 

stored in boxes when she probably 

expected the items to be on 

exhibit. The Pope-Richard Center 

has been used exclusively as 

a storage building by the Society 

for a number of years, since that 

building cannot be open to the 

public because it does not comply 

with the Americans with Disabilities 

Act. Since February, the 

Society has not had access to its 

property, as the Town changed 

the locks and now denies them 

access to the Pope-Richard Center. 

Despite her scoffing, the second 

letter writer simply failed to 

check the facts herself, and nothing 

in her letter is actually an 

original thought. Her so-called 

concerns are merely echoes of 

the unfortunate propaganda emanating 

from the Chairman of 

the Lynnfield Historical Commission.

Pioneer Stadium. 

Lynnfield puts together complete 

effort in win over Ipswich 

FOOTBALL 

By Sam Minton 

LYNNFIELD — Coach 

Pat Lamusta should be happy 

with his squad’s effort in all 

three phases of the game as 

the Lynnfield football team defeated 

the Ipswich Tigers 33-0 

on Friday evening. 

The Tigers started the game 

off with a lengthy drive, which 

lasted more than eight minutes. 

The ball stayed on the 

ground with Henry Wright 

and David Lonergan receiving 

a heavy dose of carries. But 

the passing game did Ipswich 

in with Lynnfield sophomore 

Arthur Chiaradonna going on to 

snag an interception to give the 

Pioneers the ball with 3:45 left 

in the first quarter. 

Lynnfield’s offense would 

make them pay as the Pioneers 

quickly made it a 7-0 game 

thanks to a 35-yard touchdown 

pass from junior Nick 

Razzaboni that was caught by 

Joey Cucciniello. 

Friday night was another 

impressive game for the junior 

quarterback, who continued to 

show his ability to make magic 

happen with his arm. But it 

was junior James Sharkey who 

was the talk of the town after 

racking up 108 yards rushing 

and averaging 15 yards a carry; 

he also had a touchdown on the 

evening. 

Lamusta described Sharkey 

as a runner whose feet don’t 

stop moving after the win. 

“He’s a north/south guy,” the 

coach said. “He’s really a downhill 

runner so it was awesome to 

see him capitalize on those runs 

today.” 

Ipswich would get the ball on 

its own 31 to start their second 

drive of the game with 2:32 

left in the first quarter, but they 

wouldn’t have the ball long as 

the Tigers fumbled the ball on 

a reverse and the Pioneers Jack 

Phelps recovered the ball with 

less than a minute left in the 

quarter. 

Lynnfield carried possession 

through the beginning of the 

second quarter and got all the 

way down to their opponent’s 

five-yard line. Unfortunately 

for the Pioneers, a fumbled snap 

killed their momentum and 

Lynnfield wound up turning the 

ball over on downs. 

Luckily the Pioneer defense 

answered the call and caused 

Ipswich to go three and out with 

seven minutes left in the half. 

Lynnfield made quick work 

of Ipswich’s defense, as a less 

than two-minute drive was 

capped off with Spencer Riley 

running 30 yards into the end 

zone with just over five minutes 

left in the second quarter. The 

Pioneers’ front seven brought 

the pressure to the Tiger’s offensive 

line in the following 

drive, forcing an intentional 

grounding in their opponent’s 

end zone; this caused a safety, 

giving Lynnfield a 16-0 lead. 

The half ended with the score 

line unchanged. 

The Pioneers had a perfect 

start to the second half, 

with Sharkey scampering for 

a 54-yard touchdown run after 

Lynnfield recovered Ipswich’s 

on-side kick attempt to start the 

half. The Pioneers failed to convert 

the two-point conversion, 

giving them a 22-0 lead with 11 

minutes left in the third quarter. 

Lynnfield’s defense came 

through again, forcing yet another 

three and out from Ipswich 

that was capped by a sack from 

junior Steven Dreher with nine 

minutes left in the third quarter. 

Lamusta said his defense 

had an awesome performance 

against Ipswich. 

“It’s a fast defense,” he said. 

“We might not be the biggest, 

but we are very fortunate to 

have some fast, athletic guys on 

D and you were able to see that 

today.” 

The Pioneers drove down to 

their opponent’s red zone, but 

were stopped by the Tigers’ 

defense, which forced them to 

kick a 22-yard field goal. The 

kick was good, courtesy of junior 

Kevin Connolly, who gave 

Lynnfield a 25-0 lead. 

Ipswich sustained a long 

drive before turning the ball 

over with seven seconds left 

in the third quarter. It wouldn’t 

take long for the Pioneers to 

score once again on the ground, 

as junior Robert Marley broke 

off for a 63-yard rushing touchdown, 

which gave Lynnfield 

a 33-0 lead after a successful 

two-point conversion with 11 

minutes left in the game. 

Lynnfield is now 2-0 and 

plays Newburyport on the road 

Friday (6:30).

VOLLEYBALL 

By Mike Alongi 

LYNNFIELD — The 

Lynnfield volleyball team kept 

its undefeated season alive and 

knocked off yet another Cape 

Ann League foe in the process 

Monday evening, taking down 

Newburyport by a score of 3-0 

on its home court. 

The Pioneers won by set 

scores of 25-6, 25-16, 25-7. 

“We played our best game 

(Monday), and it’s really 

looking like things are starting 

to click for the girls out there,” 

said Lynnfield coach Brent 

Ashley. “They were fun to 

watch out there. They’re 

healthy, they’re rested and 

they’re executing the game plan 

exactly how we’ve laid it out. It 

was great to see.” 

One of the biggest changes 

that Ashley has seen between 

this year’s team and last year’s 

team is that this year’s team has 

been able to get off to fast starts 

in every single match. 

“It’s almost like a Jekyll 

and Hyde situation with last 

year’s team,” said Ashley. “Last 

season, we couldn’t get off to 

a good start to save our lives. 

Now, we get off to a great start 

in every match and then have a 

let-down in the second set. The 

great starts have really helped 

us, but now we just have to back 

them up.” 

Monday’s win was also special 

because it was a payback 

game for the Pioneers, who 

suffered their only loss of last 

season to Newburyport. And 

even though there are only 

two returning players from 

last year’s Lynnfield team, 

the feeling of getting revenge 

lingered. 

“That chip on our shoulder 

really carried over into this 

year after that loss, even though 

most of those girls saw that 

loss while watching from the 

JV team,” said Ashley. “This 

was definitely a program win, 

and one that every player was 

itching to get.” 

The victory puts Lynnfield 

at 7-0 on the season, meaning 

the Pioneers are inching closer 

and closer to a berth in the state 

tournament. But that’s not on 

their minds yet, as the team still 

has unfinished business in its 

own league. 

“We’ve really been focused 

on building small goals 

throughout the season, and the 

first one for us is beating every 

team in the CAL and going 

undefeated in the league,” 

said Ashley. “Once we can get 

through that milestone then we 

can shift our focus to the next 

thing, but we want to remain focused 

on what’s in front of us 

for now.”

BOYS SOCCER 

By Sam Minton 

LYNNFIELD ― While the 

Lynnfield boys soccer team 

withstood the pressure from 

the Newburyport Clippers, they 

were unable to do so for the 

entire game and were defeated 

2-0. 

Even though Lynnfield was 

unable to walk away with the 

win, Coach Brent Munroe 

thought that his team played 

well. 

“They are a very good team,” 

said Munroe. “They beat us 2-0. 

They scored two goals in the 

first half, and I thought we competed 

the whole way through. 

We just lost to a better team.” 

For the first five minutes of 

the match, both sides felt each 

other out and it was difficult for 

either to maintain possession. 

The first goal would come 

early, as seven minutes into the 

match Caelan Twichell rocketed 

a goal into the back of the 

net to give Newburyport a 1-0 

lead. The Clippers continued 

to put pressure on the Pioneers, 

causing Lynnfield to struggle to 

get into the final third. 

Midway through the first 

half, Lynnfield’s defense was 

handling the pressure quite 

well and they were able to keep 

the deficit at one. While the 

Clippers gained plenty of corner 

kicks, the Pioneers managed to 

do a good job of getting the ball 

out of their own box. 

The Pioneers got their first 

real chance off a corner in 

the 19th minute, but the ball 

was cleared by the Clippers. 

Before the end of the first half, 

Lynnfield was able to get another 

corner in stoppage time, 

but Newburyport goalkeeper 

Nicolas Chamberlain secured 

the ball before the Pioneers 

could do any damage. 

Disaster almost struck off 

a free kick for Lynnfield, but 

Charly Morgan made a superb 

goal-line clearance that 

was surely appreciated by 

goalkeeper Chase Carney. 

Unfortunately, the Pioneers 

went down 2-0 when William 

Acquaviva sent a screamer into 

the bottom of the net in the 24th 

minute. 

Newburyport head coach 

Shawn Bleau thought that his 

side performed well in the first 

half. 

“We were knocking the ball 

around well,” he said. “We had 

good team speed out there. We 

were getting down the sidelines, 

(but) weren’t getting on the end 

of crosses. We had some really 

good passing.” 

The beginning of the second 

half started off with both sides 

feeling each other out for the 

first five minutes. Carney was 

tested in the 46th minute when 

he intercepted a cross before 

Newburyport could grab their 

third goal of the game. The 

Pioneers goalkeeper also made 

a quality stop in the 49th minute 

as well in an impressive display 

of goalkeeping. 

Munroe talked about his 

keeper’s performance after the 

match. 

“I thought he played great 

and he’s a kid who is a first-year 

goalie,” Munroe said. “He’s a 

senior who didn’t play goal until 

this year. He was a field player 

and we switched him over and 

he’s done terrific. A game like 

this is huge for him because 

we’ve had some easier games 

recently where he hasn’t had a 

lot of action and he needs the 

action to get better, and I think 

he will be better next week.” 

Once again in the second 

half, the Clippers were able to 

put Lynnfield on the back foot. 

Newburyport continued making 

it difficult for the Pioneers to 

get anything going in the final 

third. For the first 20 minutes 

of the half, Newburyport 

controlled possession, with 

Lynnfield spending little time 

on the ball. 

The Pioneers nearly got their 

first goal in the 62nd minute off 

of a free kick, but a header from 

Alex Gentile hit the crossbar 

and the Clippers were able to 

gain possession. 

Lynnfield is now 5-3 on 

the season and will face 

Newburyport again Monday 

(3:45).

Pioneers get a kick out of Bunar 

STUDENT OF 

THE WEEK 

BY HANNAH CHADWICK 

Samantha Bunar is not only a 

superstar on the soccer field but 

a pro on the gridiron as well. Due 

to COVID-19 and the resulting 

change in the scheduled sports 

season, Bunar was able to play 

her favorite sport as well as start 

a new one she loved to watch. 

Bunar’s love for both football 

and soccer started at a very 

young age; the LHS senior said 

she fell in love watching the Miami 

Dolphins football team with 

her father every weekend. From 

then on, she and her family always 

watched America’s favorite 

sport. 

While she watched football 

every weekend, she played soccer 

every week. Growing up, 

Bunar was thrown into soccer, 

she said, but she added that she 

began to love it in time. By the 

age of 12, she fell into goalkeeping, 

which is her position today. 

Bunar has also traveled the 

world with soccer, and she 

said that having been given the 

opportunity to play abroad in 

Greece was one of her favorite 

memories. 

Being a goalkeeper has taught 

Bunar many things, including 

being self-driven and never settling 

for less. 

“They always tell you it has 

to go through 11 players first, 

and that it is a team effort, but 

being a goalie, you can’t help but 

feel you should’ve done something 

different,” she said. 

Those two qualities are what 

lead her to football, she said. In 

the spring of her junior year, Bunar 

felt the need to do more and 

to widen her horizons. Luckily, 

the seasons had all changed due 

to COVID, which created the 

perfect scenario. 

Bunar went to the football 

coach with a unique proposition 

― a spot on the team. She was 

then invited to watch a practice 

in order to fully commit to the 

sport. While there wasn’t much 

practice for kickers, Bunar used 

that self-driven personality and 

created her own workouts and 

practices, which she did while 

the rest of the team partook in 

their other workouts. 

In her first game, the pressure 

defeated Bunar, leaving 

her 0-2 in field goals. Instead of 

becoming discouraged, it fueled 

her to do more. 

“I came off and told my 

coach, ‘this isn’t me,’” she said. 

“I won’t settle for this”. 

While she had a great time 

with the team, soccer became 

her future ― and it’s what she’ll 

do when she moves on to college. 

Bunar has committed to 

the Bates College soccer team in 

Lewiston, Maine, where she will 

continue to prove her talents not 

only to herself, but to everyone 

else as well.
