WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 OCTOBER 28, 2021 OBITUARIES PEABODY - Philip Smigliani, 85, of Peabody, MA, passed away peacefully on October 22, 2021. Best known for his generous offers to help friends, family, and neighbors as well as his sarcastic charm and never-ending list of one-liners that have become a part of everyday vocabulary to those who loved him most. Born to Gildo and Sophie (Rambis) Smigliani in Peabody, MA. Phil is survived by his wife, Eileen (Campbell), three children, Jane Nickolas, Lisa Audesse and Philip Smigliani Jr, five grandchildren, Amy (Borr) Bean, Amanda Audesse, Eric Borr, Philip Smigliani III and Katelyn Audesse and great-grandchild, Nickolas Bean, as well as his close cousin, Carol Swiniarski. Philip (Phil, Smig, Dad, Grampy) enlisted in the Marine Corps after graduating high school and served for years, where he met his best friend, Charles “Snowy” Snow. After serving, he spent the rest of his career at GE Aviation in Lynn, MA where he worked his way up to a Quality Control Engineer and retired early to spend time with his family. He was always just a phone call away. When he wasn’t bringing his grandchildren to school or driving them to dance, gymnastics, horseback riding lessons and football practice, he was always “somewhere in New England” which was code for working with his other best friend, Dave Blaine, as a woodworker or Joe McCall as a carpenter. He enjoyed crafting cabinetry and puttering in his workshop. Smig was a longtime member of many clubs including the Knight Riders Hot Rod Club and a pick-up A TRADITION OF TRUST, CARING & PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1952 Service to all faiths Complete Pre-Need Planning Medicaid Approved Trust & Insurance Plans 19 YALE AVE., WAKEFIELD, MASS.

Find them on weeklynews.net Destination Imagination looking for leaders By HannaH CHadwiCk Peabody Public Schools are looking for parents to step up and become team managers for students involved in Destination Imagination. The city has adopted the Destination Imagination program as a district-wide initiative in recent years that is “a creative, team-focused competition for kindergarten through 12th grade and university students,” according to its website. Destination Imagination offers kids a look into many different aspects of education by fostering a creative problem-solving competition among teams of students from around the world. Teams work together to solve STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) challenges. According to Destination Imagination, there are over 100,000 annual student-participants from all around the world. Peabody teacher Diane Bugler, who is a team manager and facilitates the program, is excited about the program’s return. “This is a great opportunity for kids to try out, at least once if they can. There’s a lot of kids that thrive in this program and really are a life changer for many,” she said. “It’s a big deal, this is a world event. Students will have the opportunity to face kids from places like Korea and Brazil.” Students can create a team of two to seven members. Each team needs an adult manager ― and this is where Peabody schools are asking parents to get involved. Bugler explained that when she was a coach she actually learned something about herself because she was forced to step back and watch the children succeed on their own. “The one thing that is really amazing is that you have to be unparented. The kids tell you what to do, you have to step back, and that’s what’s so great about this: that you’ll never do anything like this again,” Bugler said. Peabody schools are offering plenty of training to become a team manager and lead students to success in the Destination Imagination program. “Massachusetts is the third-largest Destination Imagination affiliate in the world and is equipped with lots of resources,” the district said in a statement. “Last year, the first two teams from Peabody earned their way to enter the Global Finals.” For more information about starting and/or managing a Peabody team, please email Diane Bugler at buglerd@peabody.k12.ma.us.
OCTOBER 28, 2021 WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 9 Sports Peabody blows past Gloucester on Senior Night FOOTBALL By Sam Minton PEABODY — The Peabody football team celebrated Senior Night on Friday evening and did so in spectacular fashion with a 35-8 win over the Gloucester Fishermen at Coley Lee Field. Rafael Casiano, Jordan Thompkins, William Plourde, Michael Perez, Derek Patturelli, Daviel Canela, Joe Raymond, James Bettencourt, Zachary Brooks, Dylan Pereira, Odin Machado, Christopher Mirabello, Logan Titus, Michael Ward, Dylan Seaver, Joseph Cimino, Brendan Smith, Peter Gardikas, and Jovante Dailey were all honored in what will be their last season at Peabody High. “This was an important day for our students and our parents and for our fans in Peabody,” said head coach Mark Bettencourt. Dailey didn’t wait long to make an impact, catching a 9-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Shea Lynch to give Peabody a 7-0 lead with just under nine minutes left in the half, capping off a successful opening drive for the Tanners. Bettencourt said that his side was due for a game where they got off to a good start. “We were able to do that both offensively and defensively,” he said. “I’m proud of the way we followed the game plan. We had a couple of breakdowns but we were able to rally.” The Fishermen got off to a good start in the air as Nicholas Carey completed 66 percent of his passes on the opening drive for Gloucester, but it was stalled by the Peabody defense and turned over the ball on downs with four minutes left in the first quarter. It didn’t take the Fishermen long to regain possession, as Aidan Cornetta picked off Lynch three plays later. Once again Gloucester’s offense was unable to get anything going, as it punted the ball to the Tanners with under a minute left in the opening quarter. Cornetta was a bright spot on both sides of the ball, scoring the only touchdown for the Fishermen on the night and tallying 26 yards on the ground. Peabody didn’t turn the ball over on its next possession. The Tanners drove 52 yards down the field in about eight minutes, with Derek Patturelli punching it in from a yard out to give the Tanners a 14-0 lead with under nine minutes left in the second quarter. Peabody got the ball right back as sophomore Eli Batista picked off Carey, and on the next play Lynch threw a 27-yard touchdown to junior Danny Barrett to give the Tanners a three touchdown lead with 8:25 left in the first half. After stopping Gloucester PHOTO | VANESSA LEROY Peabody’s Donald Cavanaugh, right, deflects a pass from Gloucester quarterback Nicholas Carey during a win at Coley Lee Field Friday night. and gaining possession on its own 12-yard line, Peabody junior Yoskar Batista broke off an 82-yard run on the first play of the drive to give the Tanners a 28-0 lead with four minutes left in the second quarter. Eli Batista continued to be a problem on defense as he picked off Carey two more times on Friday night. Jordan Tompkins scored moments later to give Peabody a 35-0 lead entering halftime. Gloucester was driving to start off the 3rd quarter but was unable to find the end zone and turned the ball over on downs. The Tanners spent most of the second half running the ball with an enormous lead. Yoskar Batista led the way with over 80 yards rushing on Friday night. Despite only finding the end zone once, Gloucester had a successful night on the ground rushing for over 100 yards. Fishermen head coach Dan O’Connor said after the game that he was pleased with the performance he got from his group of running backs and the offensive line. The goal is simple for Bettencourt and the Tanners moving forward; he said that he wants to bring home a title, something Peabody hasn’t done in more than 20 years. Peabody is now 3-4 and heads to Salem to play the Witches on Friday (7). Bishop Fenwick comes up short to Bishop Feehan FILE PHOTO Bishop Fenwick’s Jason Romans, left, had two touchdown receptions and a made field goal in a loss to Bishop Feehan Friday night. By Mike Alongi FOOTBALL Turnovers were an issue for the Bishop Fenwick football team Friday night, as the Crusaders fell on the road to Catholic Central League foe Bishop Feehan by a score of 27-15. The loss knocked Fenwick out of a chance to earn a share of the Catholic Central League title. Quarterback Bryce Leaman — who started in place of Steven Woods — completed 26-of-44 passes for 326 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. Senior receiver Jason Romans had touchdown catches of 26 and 11 yards in the loss, while also adding a 35-yard field goal. The Crusaders got off to a great start on the scoreboard, scoring the only touchdown of the first quarter on a 28- yard touchdown pass from Leaman to Romans and then taking a 9-0 early in the second quarter when Romans knocked a 35-yard field goal through the uprights. But things went downhill from there, as Feehan scored 14 unanswered points late in the first half thanks to big plays from Cameron Burns (42-yard touchdown run) and Aaron Canuel (40-yard touchdown reception from Aidan Crump) to put Fenwick in a 14-9 hole at the break. The Crusaders came out of the half with some fire and retook the lead 15-14 thanks to an 11-yard touchdown reception by Romans, and Fenwick was driving deep in Feehan territory to threaten with another score. But then, Feehan flipped the script when Matt Saunders picked off a Leaman pass and raced 95 yards the other way for a score to make it 21-15. After Crump hit Danny Haggerty on a 35-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, Feehan took a 27-15 lead and held on for the win. Fenwick (5-2) plays on the road at Bishop Stang Friday (7) in its regular season finale.
