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 />

From page 1<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 />

on a clinic during the Hula Hoop<br />

contest.<br />

“I really practiced for this and<br />

just try to shake my hips a lot,”<br />

she said, adding she also enjoyed<br />

the walk.<br />

for work at Pillings Pond.<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 />

refugee organization<br />

International Institute of New<br />

England (IINE), addressed the<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 />

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 />

of Salem Street after the driver crashed into a Honda Civic<br />

that was turning left out of a Ninety Nine Restaurant and Pub<br />

parking lot.<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 />

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 />

victory.<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.”

BOYS SOCCER<br />

By Sam Minton<br />

The Lynnfield boys soccer<br />

team has had a rough go of<br />

it over the past week, as it<br />

fell to Cape Ann League foe<br />

Manchester-Essex by a score of<br />

2-1 on Thursday before falling<br />

to Pentucket 1-0 on Monday.<br />

After Dylan Reilly scored in<br />

The Lynnfield girls crosscountry<br />

team came out on top<br />

against Manchester Essex with<br />

a 16-47 victory in Wednesday’s<br />

meet.<br />

Maddie Daigle led the way<br />

with a personal-best time of<br />

19:57 (1st overall). She was<br />

followed by Julia Seelig, who<br />

also ran a personal-best time of<br />

20:48 (second overall).<br />

Behind Seelig was fellow<br />

captain Kaleigh Weeks, who<br />

ran 21:16 (third overall). Viola<br />

Wertz was next, with a time<br />

of 21:33 (fourth overall), and<br />

rounding out the top five for<br />

St. John’s Prep wins<br />

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 />

WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 13<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 />

its permanent collection, but allowing<br />

others to be sold to benefit<br />

the Guild.<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 />

and<br />

Sunday, Nov. 7 from 10 a.m.–<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 />
