Thinking of Michael, 5K-style<br />
By Anne MArie ToBin<br />
More than 200 walkers and runners<br />
of all ages turned out on a beautiful<br />
Saturday morning for the Ava Maria<br />
5K Run and Walk for the benefit of the<br />
Think of Michael Foundation (TOM)<br />
at St. Maria Goretti Church.<br />
The event’s mission is to raise<br />
awareness in the community about the<br />
challenges people with substance-use<br />
disorders face on their way to recovery,<br />
while also offering participants a<br />
chance to do something healthy.<br />
With a DJ, pumpkin-decorating tables,<br />
plenty of dancing, refreshments,<br />
and even a Hula Hoop contest, there<br />
was something for everyone.<br />
“This is just wonderful the way the<br />
community came out, not just from the<br />
Maria Goretti community but so many<br />
other families throughout Lynnfield,”<br />
said TOM President Carmela Dalton.<br />
“It was a little emotional at the finish<br />
line and just so great to see everyone,<br />
so many families, just having a great<br />
day as a family while supporting our<br />
cause.”<br />
“Yes, it’s an emotional day for sure,<br />
but the whole event had such a great<br />
vibe with little kids’ events and activities<br />
for everyone,” Dick Dalton,<br />
Carmela’s husband and foundation<br />
treasurer, said. “You could see that<br />
people were having a really good time,<br />
so not only did we help raise money that<br />
will be put to such an important cause,<br />
but it was great to see families and students,<br />
including the boys hockey team,<br />
who were wearing Michael’s number<br />
17. Overall, just a special day.”<br />

and football standout at St. Sebastian’s<br />

Pillings Pond<br />
By Anne MArie ToBin<br />
Resident Owen Blacker, a sophomore<br />
pursuing environmental science studies at<br />
the University of Massachusetts-Amherst,<br />
has completed an internship under the<br />
guidance of the<br />
town’s Planning<br />
& Conservation<br />
Director Emilie<br />
Cademartori.<br />
For his project,<br />
Blacker chose to<br />
assess the water<br />
quality of Pillings<br />
Pond. He investigated<br />
the impact<br />
that storms have<br />
from stormwater<br />
that drains into<br />
the pond from<br />
UMass-Amherst<br />
surounding lands.<br />
sophomore Owen<br />
Cademartori said<br />
Blacker conducted<br />
a valuable study on<br />
the effect of stormwater<br />
runoff on<br />
Pillings Pond.<br />
Blacker’s water<br />
analysis will provide<br />
important<br />
supplemental<br />
quality data for<br />

College, died in January 2018<br />
at the age of 39 from an opiate<br />
overdose while in outpatient<br />
treatment.<br />
The Daltons turned their personal<br />
tragedy into a mission<br />
focused on helping others with<br />
similar addiction issues become<br />
success stories. Along with their<br />
son, Jamie, and daughter, Stacey,<br />
the Daltons established TOM,<br />
a 501(c)(3) charity, in June of<br />
2019. The foundation provides financial<br />
aid to recovering addicted<br />
persons to help defray the cost<br />
of living at sober houses as they<br />
transition from rehabilitation to<br />
the real world and also provides<br />
scholarships to high school students.<br />
The foundation has since<br />
expanded its mission to other endeavors,<br />
including job assistance,<br />
a topic near and dear to Boston<br />
Anthem singer and Essex County<br />
Sheriff’s Department Assistant<br />
Superintendent Todd Angilly.<br />
“This hits close to home for me<br />
with the probation work I do,”<br />
said Angilly, who kicked off the<br />
event with the national anthem.<br />
“I see people struggling with addiction<br />
every day. What we do<br />
is help them transition back to<br />
work. We need to pay attention<br />
to this. When people get back to<br />
work it supports the entire family,<br />
as kids now see their moms and<br />
dads being productive with a<br />
job. It has a multi-generational<br />
impact.”<br />
Event organizer and Ave<br />
Maria Parish Adolescent Faith<br />
Formation Coordinator Robyn<br />
Yannone said the event had its<br />
start as a virtual event last year,<br />
partnering with Ave Maria to help<br />
9th- and 10th-grade confirmation<br />
students satisfy their community<br />
service requirement and also<br />
offer families an opportunity to<br />
get outside and get some exercise.<br />
“This year it’s just amazing<br />
as it brings awareness to a lot of<br />
students, which is our church’s<br />
purpose as an organization, while<br />
at the same time supporting the<br />
Daltons’ mission,” she said.<br />
“Young teens need to be aware.<br />
We want them to think of this as<br />
a part of their faith, which is all<br />
about helping those in need. I’m<br />
very proud of everyone who has<br />
participated. Today has been a<br />
big success.”<br />
The Lynnfield High boys<br />
hockey team showed up in force<br />
to support the cause, including<br />
Assistant Coach Jay Gardner and<br />
junior Lucas Cook, the son of<br />
Stacey and nephew of Michael.<br />
“I’m very close to the family,<br />
as I grew up with Michael. I<br />
played with him and against him<br />
when I was at UMass-Boston<br />
and he was at Colby,” Gardner<br />
said. “Obviously it’s so important<br />
to spread awareness because<br />
this disorder can happen to<br />
anyone. This epidemic does not<br />
discriminate.”<br />
“This has been an incredible<br />
showing and so much fun today,”<br />
said Cook. “It means a lot to my<br />
family and obviously it’s so important<br />
for people to come with<br />
so many who are struggling with<br />
addiction.”<br />
Huckleberry Hill School second-grader<br />
Emilia Bello, 7, put<br />

just try to shake my hips a lot,”<br />
she said, adding she also enjoyed<br />
the walk.<br />

“Owen was extremely concise<br />
and self-driven,” said<br />
Cademartori. “He approached<br />
us and basically said, ‘I live<br />
here and want to do something.’<br />
I gave him the big picture of<br />
what we are trying to do and he<br />
just dove into it … His conclusions<br />
may help shape the treatment<br />
plan that Water & Wetland<br />
will design for next year’s seasonal<br />
Pond treatment.”<br />
Blacker chose three strategic<br />
outfall locations to conduct<br />
water samples. With the help of<br />
Water & Wetland, he designed<br />
the tests, collected samples after<br />
storm events, and oversaw lab<br />
testing and reporting through<br />
Alpha Analytical. His conclusions<br />
will be reviewed by Water<br />
& Wetland in its 2021 Pillings<br />
Pond treatment report to the<br />
Conservation Commission.<br />
“Working with the Lynnfield<br />
conservation department was an<br />
excellent experience for me,”<br />
said Blacker. “I’m glad I was<br />
able to further my education of<br />
environmental science while<br />
working to improve the water<br />
quality of a pond in my own<br />
hometown.”<br />
Pillings Pond is a 95-acre<br />
pond located within the Saugus<br />
River Watershed, which receives<br />
drainage from approximately<br />
1,200 acres of the predominantly-residential<br />
area<br />

to its north. From the pond’s<br />
outlet along its southern shoreline,<br />
water flows to the south<br />
to Reedy Meadow, the largest<br />
freshwater cattail marsh in<br />
Massachusetts.<br />
Over the years, a number of<br />
comprehensive studies have<br />
been conducted to assess and<br />
improve poor water quality that<br />
has become degraded by excessive<br />
chemical and nutrient<br />
loading. Poor water quality impairs<br />
the pond’s habitat, along<br />
with its recreational and aesthetic<br />
values.<br />
Cademartori said she was<br />
impressed by Blacker’s methodology<br />
and his independence<br />
in seeing the project through to<br />
completion. She added that she<br />
helped him focus on three point<br />
sources that are accessible to<br />
the public so as not to trespass<br />
on private property; this work<br />
also allowed him to fit in the<br />
two or three jobs he had.<br />
“He designed a regime based<br />
on what his routine should be<br />
and he had to learn about chain<br />
of custody of samples; I left it<br />
up to him,” she said. “He provided<br />
his take on them, and<br />
those results will get incorporated<br />
into our professional results.<br />
What Owen did was basically<br />
doubled the number of our<br />
samples, which may or may not<br />
help us tackle issues on pointsource<br />
districts (the places<br />
where stormwater is entering<br />
the pond).”<br />

International Institute of New<br />

Lynnfield Democrats about<br />
how her organization will be<br />
helping to resettle refugees<br />
from Afghanistan.<br />
During Wednesday night’s<br />
virtual presentation, she discussed<br />
the current obstacles refugees<br />
face coming to the United<br />
States to seek asylum. She<br />
stressed the urgency many of<br />
these people face and how help<br />
is needed now more than ever.<br />
Sally Hamblen, vice chair<br />
of the Lynnfield Democratic<br />
Committee, explained how her<br />
group plans to get involved<br />
after Weber’s presentation.<br />
“Alexandra provided a lot<br />
of information, and answered<br />
several questions from the<br />
attendees. Some members<br />
showed interest in volunteering<br />
in the future,” Hamblen said.<br />

IINE’s mission is to create<br />
opportunities for refugees and<br />
immigrants in New England by<br />
helping them succeed through<br />
resettlement, education, career<br />
advancement, and even guidance<br />
towards citizenship, according<br />
to the organization’s<br />
website.<br />
On Oct. 13, IINE welcomed<br />
one of their first Afghan<br />
evacuee clients at Logan<br />
Airport in Boston. The family<br />

The Lynnfield Democratic Town Committee hosted Alexandra<br />
Weber from International Institute of New England.<br />
the start of their new lives in<br />
America.<br />
Weber explained that the goal<br />
of the refugee resettlement program<br />
is to help newly-arrived<br />
refugee families and individuals<br />
move from insecurity to<br />
stability within their first year.<br />
This is done by placing refugees<br />
in housing, helping them<br />
navigate the healthcare system,<br />
enrolling them in health plans<br />
and public benefits, and even<br />
enrolling their children in public<br />
schools, Weber explained to the<br />
Democratic Town Committee.<br />
Families will also attend a<br />
cultural orientation, adults will<br />
be offered English classes, and<br />
refugees will also receive guidance<br />
through employment and<br />
career paths.<br />
There are also case specialists<br />
provided by IINE who help refugees<br />
make social and community<br />
connections.<br />
According to IINE, their goal<br />
is to resettle 10,000 refugees in<br />
New England by 2025.<br />
The Lynnfield Democratic<br />
Committee said it will continue<br />
to watch IINE’s progress<br />
with incoming refugee families.<br />
According to Weber, there are<br />
already three families that IINE<br />
has helped who are residing in<br />
neighboring Lynn. Weber said<br />
the North Shore may see more<br />

Two firefighters finally<br />
receive 2019 honors<br />
BY SAM MINTON<br />
The world is playing catch up<br />
as life begins to return to normalcy<br />
and the Lynnfield Fire<br />
Department is doing the same.<br />
David Marengi and Jim<br />
Wallace were both honored<br />
for their work by their peers<br />
in 2019. Marengi was named<br />
the town’s Firefighter of the<br />
Year in 2019; Deputy Chief<br />
Jim Wallace (then a captain)<br />
was awarded Fire Officer of the<br />
Year the same year. The awards<br />
are voted on by the members of<br />
the department, and Fire Chief<br />
Glenn Davis presented the two<br />
firefighters with the awards.<br />
The fact that the award was<br />
voted on by his peers meant a<br />
lot to Wallace.<br />
“It’s quite an honor,” he said.<br />
“Obviously they have a number<br />
of officers that they can choose<br />
from, and obviously they recognized<br />
for whatever reason that<br />
I’ve stepped up to the plate for<br />
that time period. So it’s good to<br />
be recognized by your peers.”<br />
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic,<br />
the firefighters were<br />
unable to receive their awards<br />
until a quarterly meeting held in<br />
October of this year.<br />
“It was very gracious,” said<br />
Wallace. “It was a difficult year<br />
between 2019-20 with COVID,<br />
and there was a lot going on.<br />
“We continued to trudge on<br />
and do what we have to do to<br />
serve the citizens of Lynnfield.”<br />
Both firefighters were congratulated<br />
by residents on social<br />
media. One woman even<br />
thanked Wallace for helping her<br />
son when he fractured his arm<br />
earlier in the year.<br />
“I’ll always be grateful for<br />
your help,” said Lynnfield resident<br />
Carly Caggiano.<br />
Library<br />
promotes<br />
literacy with<br />
new blog<br />
BY ALENA KUZUB<br />
At the height of the<br />
COVID-19 pandemic, the library<br />
decided to reinvented its<br />
blog ― and it would like you to<br />
know about this great resource.<br />
“When the pandemic started<br />
we were trying to figure out<br />
how to get more information<br />
out,” said Abigail Porter, acting<br />
director, assistant director and<br />
head of adult services at the<br />
Lynnfield Public Library.<br />
She said that social media<br />
works great, but they wanted<br />
people to be able to refer back<br />
to some detailed information<br />
they were putting out, such as<br />
useful in-person and online library<br />
services as well as book<br />
lists and recommendations.<br />
First, the library started<br />
talking about Libby, Hoopla<br />
and OverDrive ― databases<br />
from which people can borrow<br />
ebooks, audio books, videos,<br />
and magazines on their phones<br />
and tablets. The library also<br />
forewent the proof-of-address<br />
requirement and decided to put<br />
out a post instructing residents<br />
on how to get a library card<br />
with one’s email address.<br />
Next, the library added a<br />
couple of other databases:<br />
Creativebug, with videos of<br />
different crafts; and Mango,<br />
which helps people learn foreign<br />
languages.<br />
Now, the library has a spreadsheet<br />
full of ideas for future<br />
posts. The library staff also<br />
holds monthly social-media<br />
meetings and analyzes statistics<br />
per platform.<br />
The informal social media<br />
team includes Porter, who<br />
writes about library services,<br />
future programming, and accessibility;<br />
Assistant Circulation<br />
Librarian Samantha Totman,<br />
who often puts together various<br />
book lists; and Lauren Fox,<br />
Alex Lambright, and Amanda<br />
Landry from the children’s department,<br />
who have recently<br />
written about dyslexia and book<br />
characters with dyslexia.<br />
One can find spooky books<br />
for all ages in the upcoming<br />
Halloween post, some local historical<br />
facts in a post about the<br />
Center School building which<br />
is now part of the library, and<br />
about the literary merits of<br />
graphic novels.<br />
“It is fun figuring out what to<br />
cover,” Porter said.<br />
If they are getting a lot of<br />
questions about a certain topic,<br />
they usually try to put out a blog<br />
post covering that. They also<br />
feature any big local items of<br />
interest.<br />
The library also stays on top<br />
of pop-culture trends. When the<br />
Netflix TV-show Bridgerton<br />
became popular, the library<br />
featured the Bridgerton book<br />
series and similar reads, as well<br />
as how readers can get them at<br />
home.<br />
Each department is doing one<br />
post a month; the library also<br />
honors holidays and heritage<br />
months.<br />
Porter said it is always exciting<br />
when they get an email<br />
with questions sparked by a<br />
blog post.<br />
“We want to figure out how to<br />
spread the word better because<br />
we have a lot of cool things that<br />
we can do that are free,” said<br />
Porter. “And also you don’t<br />
even need to leave your couch.”<br />

Three people were transported<br />
to local hospitals as a<br />
result of a three-car crash on<br />
Salem Street Sunday evening.<br />
The accident, involving<br />
a Ford F250 pickup truck,<br />
a Honda Civic, and a Ford<br />
Fusion, happened in front of<br />
the Ninety Nine Restaurant and<br />
Pub at 317 Salem Street at approximately<br />
5:20 p.m. As a result<br />
of the crash, the Ford truck<br />
flipped over.<br />
Traffic on Salem Street was<br />
closed down in both directions<br />
in the vicinity of the restaurant,<br />
causing delays. Northbound<br />
traffic was diverted onto Walnut<br />
Street in front of the restaurant<br />
with motorists forced to<br />
turn around on a side street.<br />
Southbound traffic exiting from<br />
Route 1 and other streets was<br />
diverted onto Summer Street.<br />
Lynnfield Fire Department<br />
Chief Glenn Davis said that<br />

four people in total were evaluated<br />
for injuries. Two of them<br />
were transported to the Lahey<br />
Hospital and Medical Center<br />
in Burlington. Another person<br />
went to the Salem Hospital.<br />
One of the drivers was a<br />
Wakefield High School student,<br />
which was confirmed by her<br />
father, who arrived at the scene<br />
shortly after the crash.<br />
At the time of the interview,<br />
around 6 p.m., Davis did not<br />
have information about the<br />
types of injuries or ages of those<br />
involved in the accident.

Seniors<br />
Tapping into senior connections<br />
FOR THE WEEKLY NEWS<br />
LYNN — One result of the<br />
global pandemic and its longterm<br />
isolation is the need to find<br />
innovative ways through which<br />
people can stay connected.<br />
One such effort includes a<br />
new tool that Greater Lynn Senior<br />
Services (GLSS), which<br />
serves town residents, is piloting<br />
called Uniper — a device that<br />
plugs into your television set,<br />
along with a small camera which<br />
perches on top, enabling one-onone<br />
communication with case<br />
managers, healthcare providers,<br />
counselors, family and friends.<br />
“The COVID-19 pandemic<br />
pretty much destroyed the limited<br />
social connections that many<br />
older people or adults living<br />
with disabilities already experience,”<br />
said Kathryn C. Burns,<br />
GLSS’ chief executive officer.<br />
“Research shows that isolation,<br />
particularly long-term isolation,<br />
has a very negative effect on<br />
people’s overall health, significantly<br />
contributing to premature<br />
death from all causes and increasing<br />
a person’s risk of diseases<br />
like dementia.”<br />
Uniper loads an individual’s<br />
contacts into its device, allowing<br />
for immediate virtual connection.<br />
“This is really the primary<br />
reason we chose Uniper over<br />
the many other platforms we reviewed,”<br />
said Valerie Parker Callahan,<br />
director of planning and development.<br />
“We view it first and<br />
foremost as a communications<br />
tool to help people better<br />
manage their health and well-being,<br />
with Uniper’s built-in programming<br />
as a secondary — but<br />
very helpful — add-on to reduce<br />
social<br />
isolation and promote stronger<br />
connections with the wider<br />
community.”<br />
It is easy to use with a simple<br />
remote that allows people to<br />
quickly transition from Uniper<br />
back to television programming.<br />
“Many platforms that allow<br />
for virtual connection require a<br />
computer, tablet or smartphone,<br />
which many older people do not<br />
have and might be uncomfortable<br />
using,” Parker<br />
Callahan noted. “But Uniper<br />
only requires a TV, which most<br />
people already have and use<br />
regularly.”<br />
Uniper’s existing content<br />
includes access to hundreds of<br />
videos — travel, arts and culture,<br />
music and educational<br />
programs, as well as “live” programming<br />
that includes exercise<br />
and other classes, peer-led discussion<br />
groups, support groups<br />
and more — which are available<br />
throughout the day and scheduled<br />
by Uniper.<br />
GLSS is developing its own<br />
content, which will be available<br />
to users through a separate<br />
channel, and is also working on<br />
developing some live programming,<br />
too.<br />
“We envision, for example,<br />
that our Wellness Pathways fall<br />
prevention and health selfmanagement<br />
workshops will<br />
be offered over the Uniper platform,<br />
as well as group and<br />
individual counseling<br />
through our Mobile Mental<br />
Health and Family Caregiver<br />
Support programs<br />
in a private, HIPAA-compliant<br />
setting,” Parker Callahan<br />
said, “This would be in addition<br />
to virtual<br />
case manager visits with<br />
GLSS consumers.”<br />
UniperCare is an innovative,<br />
Israeli-based company with a<br />
West Coast U.S. hub. Its programming<br />
is starting to pop up<br />
all around the country, but GLSS<br />
is its first Massachusetts-based<br />
customer.<br />
One of the Uniper’s unique<br />
features is the work they have<br />
been doing with Jewish Federation<br />
of<br />
North America, connecting<br />
Holocaust survivors, their descendants<br />
and people of Jewish<br />
faith<br />
with tailored supports and<br />
group meetings, bringing together<br />
people from all across the<br />
country<br />
in celebration of some Jewish<br />
holidays during the pandemic.<br />
They plan to continue this<br />
programming moving forward.<br />
Uniper also offers a lot of<br />
content in Russian and Spanish.<br />
GLSS is initially hoping to<br />
sign up 100 people age 60 and<br />
older or adults living with disabilities<br />
in<br />
its service area of Lynn,<br />
Lynnfield, Nahant, Saugus and<br />
Swampscott for the free oneyear<br />
service. The product will<br />
be reevaluated after a year and<br />
could last beyond that, depending<br />
on<br />
its results and continued interest<br />
on the part of funders.<br />
Uniper offers training and a<br />
helpline to troubleshoot any issues<br />
users encounter. The program<br />
is supported by funding<br />
from the Administration for<br />
Community Living as well as<br />
funding through the Older American<br />
Act administered through<br />
the Massachusetts Executive Office<br />
of Elder Affairs, and a grant<br />
from Beverly and Addison Gilbert<br />
Hospitals, operated by Beth<br />
Israel Lahey Health.<br />
Interested individuals can<br />
contact Andrew Wallace, GLSS’<br />
Title III Planner, at 781-477-<br />
6702 or email awallace@glss.<br />
net. More information can be<br />

Mansfield has to go<br />
TO THE EDITOR<br />
TO THE EDITOR<br />
In response to Cecil C.<br />
Ogren’s letter on 10/21:<br />
I read Mr. Ogren’s letter regarding<br />
the Virginia county of<br />
Loudoun being “up in arms,”<br />
with interest and consternation.<br />
What concerns me as a physician,<br />
grandfather, father, and husband,<br />
is that Mr. Ogren does not<br />
yet understand or does not want<br />
to understand that this COVID<br />
virus can kill him and his loved<br />
ones and threatens the survival<br />
On Jan. 20, 2021 Kirk<br />
Mansfield, acting as the chair<br />
of the Lynnfield Historical<br />
Commission, submitted a libelous,<br />
4-page letter, signed<br />
“Chair, Lynnfield Historical<br />
Commission,” where he went<br />
on a tirade against the Lynnfield<br />
Historical Society and its officers.<br />
I was particularly maligned<br />
with slurs, betrayed<br />
personal conversations and ridiculous<br />
fabrications. The letter<br />
was full of lies and distorted<br />
facts, all meant to disparage<br />
the Society, and it worked! For<br />
months, one-sided inaccurate<br />
articles have been written in<br />
the local press. This letter was<br />
written in retaliation for not getting<br />
to choose the painter for the<br />
interior of the Historical Centre<br />
and other petty perceived rebuffs<br />
he felt were committed by<br />
the Society. There have been no<br />
repercussions for this complete<br />
lack of civility and professionalism<br />
that was perpetrated by<br />
the chair of a town-appointed<br />
board.<br />
Historical Commission<br />
minute notes reveal that, when<br />
asked, no member of the<br />
Commission had any knowledge<br />
of the letter before it was<br />
sent to the Select Board. As<br />
well, no Commission member<br />
affirmed their support of the<br />
letter. Why didn’t his members<br />
stand up in protest at the impropriety<br />
of this letter? This is<br />
shameful! Why hasn’t this been<br />
of their being here and now. The<br />
issue of critical race theory only<br />
“threatens the survival of our republic”<br />
at some indeterminate future<br />
date (to quote his hyperbole.)<br />
Mr. Ogren is a little too concerned<br />
about his own freedom<br />
of choice and should be more<br />
concerned about his selfish, unsafe,<br />
stubborn stance, avoiding<br />
all the scientific facts and all<br />
the statistics staring him in the<br />
face and threatening others. His<br />
age-old, tired argument about<br />
the articles of the constitution;<br />
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />
addressed by the Select Board?<br />
According to the Lynnfield<br />
Ethics Code: “The professional<br />
and personal conduct of officials<br />
must be above reproach<br />
and avoid even the appearance<br />
of impropriety. Officials shall<br />
refrain from abusive conduct,<br />
personal charges or verbal attacks<br />
upon the character or motives<br />
of other officials, the staff<br />
or public.”<br />
Why is Mansfield still a<br />
member of the Historical<br />
Commission? What is happening<br />
in our town? He is singlehandedly<br />
responsible for<br />
trying to ruin the spotless reputation<br />
of the Historical Society.<br />
Kirk Mansfield has got to go!<br />
This matter has been brought<br />
up to town officials, as well as<br />
my body, my choice; live free<br />
or die; etc., etc., that’s for another<br />
time. First, put on your<br />
mask and go get the vaccine.<br />
the Commission members, on<br />
several occasions and was met<br />
with a complete lack of interest<br />
or concern. Why wasn’t<br />
Mansfield banished from<br />
the Historical Commission<br />
the minute the Select Board<br />
received this nasty letter?<br />
Why didn’t the rest of the<br />
Commission stand up and rail<br />
against the impropriety of this<br />
letter being sent out without<br />
their knowledge or consent?<br />
After numerous requests,<br />
the Select Board has refused<br />
to acknowledge the Society’s<br />
request to be heard regarding<br />
this matter and other violations.<br />
Under the protection of an indifferent<br />
Select Board, Mansfield<br />
has been allowed to malign a<br />
generous, civic-minded group<br />
Safety for all over freedom for one<br />
C’mon Mr Ogren, time to get<br />
over yourself and start thinking<br />
of all the people in the<br />
republic you want to save from<br />
that has done so much for the<br />
town and the Meeting House<br />
and has now caused the town<br />
to now take on the financial<br />
responsibility of two buildings<br />
that would have been and have<br />
been gladly supported by the<br />
Historical Society.<br />
The Society has nothing to<br />
hide and we will be willing to<br />
provide this outrageous document<br />
to anyone who is concerned<br />
about ethics in our town<br />
government. We would also<br />
be happy to answer any other<br />
questions.<br />

OBITUARIES<br />
PEABODY - Philip Smigliani,<br />
85, of Peabody, MA, passed away<br />
peacefully on October 22, 2021.<br />
Best known for his generous offers<br />
to help friends, family, and neighbors<br />
as well as his sarcastic charm<br />
and never-ending list of one-liners<br />
that have become a part of everyday<br />
vocabulary to those who loved<br />
him most.<br />
Born to Gildo and Sophie<br />
(Rambis) Smigliani in Peabody,<br />
MA. Phil is survived by his wife,<br />
Eileen (Campbell), three children,<br />
Jane Nickolas, Lisa Audesse and<br />

high school and served<br />
for years, where he met his best<br />
friend, Charles “Snowy” Snow. After<br />
serving, he spent the rest of<br />
his career at GE Aviation in Lynn,<br />
MA where he worked his way up<br />
to a Quality Control Engineer and<br />
retired early to spend time with his<br />
family. He was always just a phone<br />
call away. When he wasn’t bringing<br />
his grandchildren to school or<br />
driving them to dance, gymnastics,<br />
horseback riding lessons and<br />
football practice, he was always<br />
“somewhere in New England”<br />
which was code for working with<br />
his other best friend, Dave Blaine,<br />
as a woodworker or Joe McCall<br />
as a carpenter. He enjoyed crafting<br />
cabinetry and puttering in his<br />
workshop.<br />

was a man of love, laughter (“silly<br />

Sports<br />
Lynnfield comes<br />
up short against<br />
Amesbury<br />
FOOTBALL<br />
By Mike Alongi<br />
AMESBURY — The<br />
Lynnfield football team didn’t<br />
quite have its best game Friday<br />
night, coming up short to Cape<br />
Ann league foe Amesbury by a<br />
score of 28 to 18 on the road.<br />
“It was a tough game out<br />
there for us,” said Lynnfield<br />
coach Pat Lamusta. “We had<br />
some good moments, but we’ve<br />
got to be better as a whole.”<br />
Lynnfield quarterback David<br />
Tracy threw for two touchdowns<br />
and ran for another in<br />
the loss for the Pioneers, while<br />
Joey Cucciniello had more than<br />
150 receiving yards with two<br />
touchdowns.<br />
Both teams got off to a bit of<br />
a slow start, and the school remained<br />
tied at 00 at the end of<br />
the first quarter.<br />
But the fireworks started in<br />
the second quarter, as Amesbury<br />
got on the board first when<br />
Luke Arsenault broke free and<br />
scored on a 10-yard touchdown<br />
run to put Amesbury up 8-0.<br />
The Pioneers answered<br />
right back, as Tracy found<br />
Cucciniello for a 53-yard<br />
touchdown bomb to make it an<br />
86 game.<br />
Amesbury was able to grab<br />
one more score before the half,<br />
as Henry O’Neil caught a 32-<br />
yard touchdown pass from<br />
Drew MacDonald to make it a<br />
14-6 game at the break.<br />
After McDonald and O’Neill<br />
connected on a 55-yard touchdown<br />
early in the third quarter<br />
to make it 21-6, Lynnfield’s<br />
offense started driving. The<br />
Pioneers pushed the ball inside<br />
the Amesbury 10-yard line, and<br />
Tracy capped things off when<br />
he rushed one in from five<br />
yards out to make it a 21-12<br />
ballgame.<br />
But in the 4th quarter,<br />
Nicholas Marden scored on<br />
a 10-yard run for Amesbury<br />
to go back up by two scores.<br />
Running out of time, Lynnfield<br />
sent another heave for the end<br />
zone, and this time Tracy and<br />
Cucciniello connected on a<br />
79-yard touchdown pass to get<br />
within 10 points at 28-18. But<br />
the Pioneers just couldn’t get<br />
that extra score on the board<br />
and Amesbury was able to run<br />

Lynnfield (2-4) travels to<br />
Triton Friday (7).<br />
“It’s another tough Cape Ann<br />
Lee game, and we’re going to<br />
have to be ready,” said Lamusta.<br />
“We’re hoping to close out the<br />
season with a conference win.”<br />

VOLLEYBALL<br />
By Mike Alongi<br />
LYNNFIELD — In a battle<br />
between the top two teams in<br />
Division 4 volleyball Monday<br />
night, the Lynnfield Pioneers<br />
came up just short by a score of<br />
3-2 in a five-set thriller against<br />
Cape Ann League foe Ipswich<br />
at home.<br />
Lynnfield fell by set scores<br />
of 21-25, 25-17, 23-25, 25-18,<br />
15-17.<br />
“I really thought we had them<br />
all the way up to the end,’’ said<br />
Lynnfield coach Brent Ashley.<br />
“In the end, it just came down<br />
to them having a few more<br />
upperclassmen and a little bit<br />
more experience in those tough<br />
situations.”<br />
Lynnfield got off to a blazing<br />
start in the first set, jumping<br />
ahead 5-0 in the early going.<br />
But Ipswich battled all the way<br />
back to tie things at 7-7, and the<br />
two teams traded shots back<br />
and forth for the next several<br />
points. But Ipswich gained a<br />
foothold and jumped ahead 17-<br />
12, holding off a late Lynnfield<br />
rally to take the set 25-21.<br />
The second set was truly<br />
a back-and-forth affair, with<br />
seven ties and eight lead<br />
changes throughout. Eventually,<br />
Lynnfield jumped ahead 22-15<br />
and coasted to a 25-17 set win<br />
to tie things up.<br />
Ipswich controlled a large<br />
part of the third set, at one<br />
point taking a 22-16 lead. But<br />
Lynnfield never quit, scoring<br />
seven unanswered points after<br />
that.<br />
When the Pioneers tied things<br />
up at 22-22 and subsequently<br />
took the lead, the roof nearly<br />
came off the gym.<br />
But Lynnfield couldn’t sustain<br />
the momentum, as Ipswich<br />
scored three straight points<br />
coming out of the timeout to<br />
take the set and go up 2-1.<br />
Lynnfield was not deterred<br />
by the poor close of the third<br />
set, and the Pioneers came right<br />
back in the fourth with some<br />
fire. After Ipswich jumped out<br />
to a 4-0 lead to start, Lynnfield<br />
rallied back and eventually took<br />
the lead. The Pioneers stretched<br />
that lead to 22-17 at one point,<br />
before easily coasting to the<br />
25-18 set victory.<br />
The Pioneers took all of<br />
that momentum into the fifth<br />
and final set, jumping ahead<br />
early and really putting the<br />
pressure on Ipswich. But the<br />
Tigers responded, and before<br />
the Pioneers knew it the score<br />
was tied 14-14. From there,<br />
Ipswich’s experience showed<br />
through, as the Tigers scored<br />
three of the final four points to<br />
win the set, 17-15, and take the<br />
match.<br />
Lynnfield (14-3) returns to action<br />
Wednesday evening (5:30)<br />
against rival North Reading for<br />
Senior Night.<br />
“It’ll be great to honor our<br />
seniors and get them a bunch<br />
of playing time in the game<br />
Wednesday,’’ said Ashley. “We<br />
have two games left and we’re<br />
looking forward to closing out<br />
the season on a good run as we<br />
head into the tournament.”

Div. 1 state title<br />
GOLF<br />
By Mike Alongi<br />
The cool, rainy weather didn’t<br />
do anything to slow down the St.<br />
John’s Prep golf team Monday<br />
morning, as the Eagles shot a cumulative<br />
team score of 22-over<br />
306 to take home the Division 1<br />
state championship at Wentworth<br />
Hills Golf Club in Plainville.<br />
The Prep earned the victory by<br />
two strokes over Wellesley on the<br />
6,202-yard, par-71 course, while<br />
Xaverian finished three strokes<br />
back and St. John’s (Shrewsbury)<br />
finished four strokes back in third<br />
place.<br />
The Eagles got a lift from all<br />
members of the team Monday,<br />
with Alex Landry leading the<br />
way with a score of 3-over 74 —<br />
good enough to tie for fifth place<br />
in the individual championship.<br />
Ian Rourke and Terry Manning<br />
finished in a tie for 10th place<br />
with identical scores of 5-over 76,<br />
while Emmet Phelan finished in a<br />
tie for 28th place with a 9-over 80<br />
to round out the counting scores<br />
Lynnfield was Olivia Goguen,<br />
who ran 21:39 (sixth overall).<br />
The Pioneers are now 2-3 and<br />
head to Wrentham for the Cape<br />
Ann League meet on October<br />
30th.<br />
On the boys side, the<br />
Pioneers came up just short to<br />
Manchester-Essex by a score of<br />
28-29.<br />
John McKrell lost a close<br />
race against Manchester-<br />
Essex’s top runner. McKrell<br />
ran a personal best of 16:56<br />
(second overall). Behind him<br />
was Angelo DeLuca, who ran<br />
a personal best time of 17:27<br />
(third overall).<br />
The Pioneers are now 0-5 and<br />
head to Wrentham for the Cape<br />
Ann League meet on Oct. 30.<br />
for the Eagles.<br />
Wellesley’s Ryan Keyes ended<br />
up taking home the Div. 1 individual<br />
title after shooting the only<br />
under-par round of the day — a<br />
1-under 70.<br />
Over in the Division 2 state<br />
championship, which took place<br />
at Wayland’s Sandy Burr Country<br />
Club, St. Mary’s senior Aidan<br />
Emmerich nearly put the perfect<br />
cap on a stellar season. The star<br />
senior shot his 12th consecutive<br />
under-par round Monday, finishing<br />
at 2-under 70 on the day.<br />
But it just wasn’t enough to get<br />
him past another red-hot Catholic<br />
Central League golfer, as Austin<br />
Prep’s Max Hampoian fired a<br />
3-under 69 to take home the individual<br />
title on the day.<br />
Despite not coming away with<br />
the hardware, Emmerich wrapped<br />
up a stellar St. Mary’s career that<br />
saw him become a seven-year<br />
varsity starter, a member of three<br />
state championship teams, a CCL<br />
MVP, a CCL champion and a<br />
Division 2 North champion — all<br />
while finishing an eye-popping<br />
32-under par for the year.<br />

its first loss of the season<br />
VOLLEYBALL<br />
By Mike Alongi<br />
LYNN — The Lynnfield<br />
volleyball team faced one of<br />
its toughest tests of the season<br />
Friday night, eventually<br />
handing previously undefeated<br />
Lynn Classical its first loss of<br />
the season with a 3-0 victory on<br />
the road.<br />
The Pioneers won by set<br />
scores of 29-27, 25-20, 25-20.<br />
“We knew coming into this<br />
one that it would be a tough<br />
match because we know a few<br />
of the girls and (Classical senior)<br />
Chloe (Clement) even<br />
played on my club team over<br />
the summer,” said Lynnfield<br />
coach Brent Ashley. “Classical<br />
is a great team and they played<br />
well at home and they really<br />
knocked us back on our heels at<br />
first. But I’m glad we were able<br />
to settle ourselves and come<br />
away with the win.”<br />
“Obviously we wish we could<br />
have come away with the win,<br />
but at the very least this shows<br />
the girls that they really belong<br />
in the top tier of volleyball in<br />
the state,” said Classical coach<br />
Chris LeBlanc. “Lynnfield is a<br />
great team and we know that<br />
they do a great job over there,<br />
and this was a great battle between<br />
two good teams.”<br />
The first set was one of<br />
the wildest sets of the season<br />
for both teams with the lead<br />
changing hands more than<br />
15 times throughout the set.<br />
Classical took an early lead<br />
before Lynnfield battled back,<br />
and then neither team could<br />
get more than two points away<br />
from each other for the rest of<br />
the set. Eventually, Gizmunt<br />
was able to score four points in<br />
a row to help lift the pioneers to<br />
a 29-27 set win.<br />
Classical still had some momentum<br />
coming into the second<br />
set jumping ahead four to one<br />
early. But once again, Lynnfield<br />
was able to battle back, and the<br />
Pioneers quickly tied the score<br />
and then took the lead. From<br />
there it was mostly Lynnfield’s<br />
ball, as the Pioneers were able<br />
to push past Classical to take<br />
the set 25-20 and take a commanding<br />
two sets to none lead.<br />
The third set saw some more<br />
back-and-forth action, but<br />
Lynnfield still kept itself ahead<br />
for most of the set. Classical<br />
put together a small rally in<br />
the second half of the set, but<br />
Lynnfield was able to grab the<br />
last few points, and after a big<br />
kill by Gizmunt, Lynnfield<br />
walked away with the victory.<br />
Classical (16-1) plays on<br />
the road at Arlington Catholic<br />
Monday (5:15).<br />
“This final stretch for us is<br />
going to be a real test, and it’s<br />
going to be a great preparation<br />
for the upcoming tournament,”<br />
said LeBlanc. “Arlington<br />
Catholic is a great team, and<br />
they beat Lynnfield earlier this<br />
year, so we know we’re going<br />
to be in for another tough test.”<br />
Lynnfield (14-2) takes on<br />
Ipswich for the Cape Ann<br />
League regular-season crown<br />
Monday evening (5:30).<br />
“That one’s going to be for<br />
all the marbles,” said Ashley.<br />
“Luckily for us it’s a home<br />
game and we’ve been really<br />
good at home so far this year, so<br />
hopefully we can put together<br />
another great performance.”<br />

The Lynnfield Art Guild is<br />
proud to present a selection of<br />
paintings by oil painter Helen<br />
Malcolm, which will be on view<br />
at the Lynnfield Library through<br />
the end of the year. Helen<br />
Malcolm was a charter member<br />
of the Lynnfield Art Guild. On<br />
January 17, 1964, ten people<br />
gathered at her home on Lowell<br />
Street to discuss the possibility<br />
of forming an art guild in our<br />
town. As a result of this pivotal<br />
meeting, the Lynnfield Art Guild<br />
was established, starting with<br />
the 10 members who attended<br />
the first meeting.<br />
Helen served as the first vice<br />
president with local, well-known<br />

Malcolm’s work on display at library<br />
artist Phil Perkins serving as<br />
the first president in 1964, and<br />
Helen succeeding as president<br />
in 1965. The Guild’s first art<br />
show was held at the Meeting<br />
House in June of 1964. The<br />
membership grew to over 100<br />
members in less than a year and<br />
reached 160 members by 1967.<br />
The Guild is retaining several<br />

others to be sold to benefit<br />

The Guild’s mission remains<br />
as originally conceived in 1964:<br />
to encourage and inspire individuals<br />
who have an appreciation<br />
and love of art to express their<br />
talent and to create art awareness<br />
in the community. New members<br />
and supporters are always<br />
welcome. The Fall Art<br />
Show and Sale will be held in<br />
the Meeting House and on the<br />
Commons on Saturday, Nov. 6<br />

Police department patches go pink<br />
By Anne MArie ToBin<br />
Detective Sergeant Chris<br />
DeCarlo and acting Police<br />
Chief Nick Secatore have announced<br />
that the Lynnfield<br />
Police Department (LPD) is<br />
participating in the annual Pink<br />
Patch Program.<br />
“This is part of our continued<br />
efforts to expand our community-based<br />
initiatives,” DeCarlo<br />
said.<br />
The department is selling<br />
LPD Pink Patch T-shirts at a<br />
cost of $20 each. All proceeds<br />
will be donated to the Dana<br />
Farber Cancer Institute. DiCarlo<br />
said inventory is limited and the<br />
department is hopeful it will sell<br />
out soon. Payment can be made<br />
by cash or check made payable<br />
to the Dana Farber Cancer<br />
Institute.<br />
The Pink Patch Project was<br />
launched in 2013 by the Seal<br />
Beach Police Department in<br />
Southern California. Now a<br />
worldwide initiative, the project’s<br />
mission is to increase<br />
awareness about the life-saving<br />
benefits of early detection and<br />
early intervention in the fight<br />
against breast cancer. In addition<br />
to public education efforts,<br />
proceeds from the sales<br />
of patches and other items go<br />
directly to fund the research,<br />
treatment, and education needed<br />
to help find a cure.<br />
