Three new 

city councilors 

assume office 

By Sam minton 

There was a sense of 

change in the air at City Hall 

on Monday night. 

It was inauguration 

night in the city, as new 

City Councilors Stephanie 

Peach (Ward 3), Julie 

Daigle (Ward 4), and Dave 

Gamache (Ward 5) replaced 

outgoing councilors James 

Moutsoulas, Ed Charest, and 

Joel Saslaw, respectively. 

Peach said that she is very 

excited to work with the 

council to benefit residents. 

“I’m excited to get started 

to work for the people of 

Ward 3,” said Peach. “You 

work a whole year running 

the campaign and now the 

time’s finally come to start 

that work. It’s exciting, it’s 

a little nerve-wracking, but 

I appreciate people trusting 

me to do this, and I look 

forward to working with 

everyone.” 

Daigle has attended the 

inauguration since she was 

16 years old, and had similar 

emotions to Peach. 

However, things felt a little 

different now, being inaugurated 

instead of the one sitting 

in the audience. 

In her first year, Daigle 

expects to learn from her 

peers. 

“I have a lot of institutional 

knowledge, but I have 

a lot to learn, so you will 

see me do a lot of listening 

and learning from everyone 

else, talking to constituents, 

and figuring out how I can 

best represent them,” she 

said. “The first year is a big 

learning curve for me but 

I’m excited to get people 

involved and get to know 

the residents and bring them 

together.” 

Gamache left the City 

Council after his term ended 

in 2013, but nine years later 

said it felt like the first time 

all over again. 

“I look forward to hitting 

the ground running,” he 

said. “Now I’m retired, so 

this is all I got. This is what 

I’m going to give the residents, 

not only in Ward 5, 

but (in) the city.” 

Also being sworn in were 

the five incumbent councilors-at-large 

— Thomas 

Gould, Anne Manning- 

Martin, Ryan Melville, 

Thomas Rossignoll, and Jon 

Turco — Mayor Edward A. 

Bettencourt Jr., who is now 

beginning his sixth term, and 

Peabody School Committee 

members Beverley Griffin 

Dunne, Jarrod Hochman, 

and Jon Swanson.

Ryan Melville is sworn in as City Council president 

during Monday evening’s inauguration at City Hall. 

Melville will serve as 

City Council president. He 

was voted into the position 

unanimously. 

“He worked hard, as he’s 

always done, and he’s done 

very well,” said Gamache. 

“I know he’s going to 

do a great job as council 

president.” 

In his opening speech, 

Melville called for spirited 

debate and compromise in 

the upcoming term. 

“I ask this council to 

be prepared and willing 

to compromise while still 

holding true to the principles 

of the residents,” Melville 

said. “I hope and know this 

council will listen to each 

other and set a better example 

than we’ve received 

in Washington, D.C. for the 

past 10 or 20 years.” 

Melville touched upon 

many of his aspirations for 

2022 — including the post- 

COVID world. He also 

called for a review of the 

city charter.

A COVID 

year in 

review 

By Sam minton 

Heading into 2022, the city’s fight against 

COVID-19 has faced another battle in what 

will be a now three-year war. 

On Dec. 20, the city Health Department’s 

two-week report showed 10,362 cases of 

COVID-19 in Peabody, a test-positivity increase 

of 7.3 percent, with 611 new cases, 

and an average daily infection rate of 78 

residents per day. 

The Tanner City ended 2021 in anticipation 

of the current surge by reintroducing 

an indoor-mask mandate as omicron and 

the winter season contributed to an uptick 

in cases across the country and the 

commonwealth. 

“Obviously it’s been a really challenging 

year,” said Health Director Sharon 

Cameron. “We’ve had a lot of illness and 

a lot of deaths in our community. I think 

people have gotten used to COVID but 

there’s been a lot of heartache for a lot of 

families here and I hope people don’t lose 

sight of the fact that we are all in this together 

as a community and (I) really would 

hope that people think about what it means 

to be a member of the community.” 

“We care about other people and we try

Amy Giammarco-Moquin 

and Michele MacBeath held an 

adult candle-making class to 

expand their creative-arts business, 

“Total Arts!” The response 

from participants waxed a positive 

future for their business. 

The class took place at the 

“Total Arts!” facility in Peabody 

on Dec. 20. Participants made 

either a jar candle or a gift set 

of candles. Twelve people attended 

the class and the owners 

said they would return for future 

programs. 

“We are going to hold more 

creative-art classes for adults 

over the next year,’’ said 

MacBeath. “January we are 

doing an interim watercolor 

class, February a traditional 

painting class, March an Irish 

step-dance class and in April an 

artisan craft fair.” 

The candle-making class was 

a partnership with “Scent for 

Cents,” a business focused on 

selling affordable soy candles. 

Giammarco-Moquin said Total

area. 

“We thought that a pour-yourcandle 

workshop would make 

a great event and would benefit 

both our businesses if we 

joined forces for a fun event,” 

said Giammarco-Moquin. 

“Partnerships with other local 

artisans and instructors are a 

big part of our mission at Total 

Arts!”

The city’s Health Director Sharon Cameron said that in 2022 she wants residents to not lose 

sight of the fact that “we are all in this together as a community. 

A COVID year in review 

COVID-19 

From page 1 

to take steps to help each other. 

There are a lot of people in our 

community who are vulnerable 

and would potentially face serious 

outcomes from the virus, 

and we hope that people are 

mindful of that even though 

their personal risk might be 

considered low, and to think 

about doing things that will 

help other members of our community. 

Those are things like 

getting vaccinated, adhering 

to masking requirements, and 

staying home when they are 

sick.” 

Peabody currently has 70 

percent of its population fully 

vaccinated against COVID-19. 

Cameron noted that the Health 

Department has seen some 

stagnation in vaccination rates 

in the younger demographics 

ranging from 12 to 29 years old. 

“Those rates are not where 

we would like to see them,” 

said Cameron. 

The health director did note 

that the mask mandate is a temporary 

one that will be reviewed 

monthly by the Board of Health. 

“I think there is a commitment 

to review the data and to 

lift the mandate at a time when 

it is appropriate to do so,” said 

Cameron. “We recognize that 

this does impose a hardship on 

local businesses, particularly 

businesses who are tasked with 

enforcing the mask mandate. It 

creates some very difficult interactions 

with their customers. 

Giammarco-Moquin and 

MacBeath met when their 

daughters started attending the 

same dance classes in 2019. 

The two began thinking about 

creating a business that would 

introduce a wide range of arts to 

children. In March of 2020, the 

two established “Total Arts!,” 

a pop-up business that offered 

different classes for different 

ages. 

“We teach as low as newborns 

to 3-year-olds and as 

high as fifth-graders,” said

It’s not a move that the Board of 

Health takes lightly.” 

One of the major reasons for 

the mask mandate is the feedback 

that local boards of health 

have been receiving from hospitals 

about the strain that 

COVID-19 has been putting on 

hospital capacities, Cameron 

said. 

The health director is hopeful 

for 2022 and believes that as 

more people get vaccinated, life 

will return back to “normal.” 

Cameron also hopes that people 

get children vaccinated just like 

they do the flu vaccine. 

“This might be a virus that 

becomes endemic in our population 

but it will stop resulting 

in the type of really serious illness 

that we are seeing now.” 

For these businesses, collaboration makes scents 

Giammarco-Moquin. “For the 

younger children, we have a 

storytime class or a music class 

that lets the parents relax for a 

while and (for) the older children, 

we have more advanced 

classes like writing and creative 

projects.” 

Most of the classes took 

place online in 2020 due to 

the COVID-19 pandemic. 

MacBeath said that for virtual 

classes, the two would put all of 

the materials in a box and have 

them prepared for participants. 

In 2021, classes moved toward 

an in-person setting and “Total 

Arts!” opened its first facility in 

Peabody in September. 

The two business owners 

hope that the introduction of 

adult creative-arts classes will 

bring more customers to their 

business and help them meet 

their mission statement of 

sharing the creative arts with 

everyone. 

“We have a love for the arts 

and we want to share them 

with adults and children,” said 

Giammarco-Moquin. “We 

have several more ideas in the 

coming year.”

Gina Goodwin is Peabody’s Person of the Year 

By AllyshA DunnigAn 

Gina Goodwin has lived in 

West Peabody her entire life 

and has been a registered nurse 

working in home care for 25 

years. 

In addition to her job in health 

care, where she helps people 

throughout the North Shore 

with managing their medications, 

Goodwin comes to people’s 

aid in other ways. 

About six years ago, 

Goodwin was at work around 

Thanksgiving and realized that 

a lot of her patients had nowhere 

to go for the holiday, or 

didn’t have the funds to buy and 

prepare a Thanksgiving meal. 

This inspired her to start 

Gina’s Giving Back, where 

she and volunteers provide 

Thanksgiving meals, Christmas 

toys, and assistance year round 

to those in need. 

In its first year, Gina’s Giving 

Back provided around 500 

Thanksgiving meals to people 

in need in the North Shore, 

thanks to donations which were 

brought in by word of mouth. 

For these contributions to her 

community, Goodwin has been 

named an Essex Media Group 

(EMG) “Person of the Year” for 

Peabody. 

This past Thanksgiving, 

Gina’s Giving Back provided 

more than 4,400 meals — some 

precooked, to-go meals and 

others containing the ingredients 

to cook the meal at home. 

“We’re open all year round 

for people that have food, 

toys or clothing insecurities,” 

Goodwin said. “We do any type 

of help that we can provide 

through community donations.” 

Goodwin has a fundraising 

page that she publicizes during 

the holiday season, and local 

organizations, schools and businesses 

host food drives to support 

her initiative. 

Goodwin posts about the 

food donations on local community 

pages, to find people in 

need to give the food to. 

“If people can cook themselves, 

and they just don’t have 

the financial means for it, we 

do a meal box that comes with 

a gift card to get a turkey or a 

ham and then all of the fixings,” 

Goodwin said. “For the people 

who can’t cook, then I cook the 

meal.” 

Goodwin cooks all of the 

meals on her own in her kitchen, 

since she doesn’t allow other 

people into her home because 

of COVID-19. 

For the Christmas-toy donations, 

Goodwin collects funds 

to purchase toys and also collects 

toys from local toy drives. 

This year, Goodwin teamed 

up with a Boston organization 

for the toy drive, and donated 

more than 10,000 toys combined 

to kids for Christmas. 

“It was insane,” Goodwin 

said. 

Between raising the funds for 

the meals and toys, preparing 

everything and delivering it all, 

Goodwin said she has around 

100 volunteers during the holiday 

season. 

Goodwin and her husband 

have six kids ranging from 5 to 

15 years old, all of whom help 

out. 

Goodwin’s husband is usually 

a large factor in helping 

with Gina’s Giving Back, but 

was unable to pitch in this year 

because he is battling throat 

cancer and has a feeding tube. 

While he is undergoing chemotherapy 

at Mass General, 

Goodwin said she continued 

Gina’s Giving Back because 

“life doesn’t stop for her 

problems.” 

“People still need meals and 

help,” Goodwin said. “This was 

a really tough year for us too, 

financially.” 

In the past, Goodwin matched 

most donations that were given 

to her for the meals, but couldn’t 

this year because her husband 

hasn’t worked since he got sick 

in June, and she is working part 

time to help care for him and 

her kids. 

“Even though we’re going 

through our own thing right 

now, other people are going 

through things too,” Goodwin 

said. 

In addition to running Gina’s 

Giving Back during the holiday 

season, Goodwin also helps 

people throughout the year who 

are transitioning from a shelter 

into housing by gathering donations 

for them. 

“It’s primarily around the 

holidays but I never close,” 

Goodwin said. “I’ll throw up a

Essex Media Group Person of the Year for Peabody. 

post on my page if someone is 

looking for furniture or when 

we’re trying to help a lot of the 

homeless.” 

Since starting this six years 

ago, Goodwin said everybody 

usually wants to help, which 

has been a huge factor in 

Michael Garabedian 

making Gina’s Giving Back so 

successful. 

“My original goal was just 

maybe helping a few people 

or a few families that were in 

need,” Goodwin said. “My goal 

has changed to now try to help 

everybody that’s in need.”

Seniors 

Don’t open your doors to grandparent scams 

For The Weekly NeWs 

When it comes to scammers, 

nothing is sacred ― including 

the bond between grandparent 

and 

grandchild. Lately, grandparent 

scammers have gotten 

bolder; they might even come 

to your door to collect money, 

supposedly for your grandchild 

in distress. 

These kinds of scams still 

start with a call from someone 

pretending to be your grandchild. 

They might speak softly 

or make an excuse for why they 

sound different. They’ll say 

they’re in trouble, need bail, 

or need money for some reason. 

The “grandkid” will also 

beg you to keep this a secret 

— maybe they’re “under a gag 

order,” or they don’t want their 

parents to know. Sometimes, 

they might put another scammer 

on the line who pretends 

to be a lawyer needing money 

to represent the grandchild in 

court. 

But, instead of asking you 

to buy gift cards or wire money 

(both signs of scam), the 

scammer tells you someone 

will come to your door to pick 

up cash. Once you hand it over, 

your money is gone. But you 

might get more calls to send 

money by wire transfer or 

through the mail. 

To avoid these scams and 

protect your personal information: 

Take a breath and resist the 

pressure to pay. Get off the 

phone and call or text the person 

who (supposedly) called. 

If you can’t reach them, check 

with a family member to get the 

real story. Even though the 

scammer said not to. 

Don’t give your address, 

personal information or cash to 

anyone who contacts you. And 

anyone who asks you to pay 

by gift card or money transfer is 

a scammer. Always. 

Check your social media 

privacy settings and limit what 

you share publicly. Even if your 

settings are on private, be 

careful about what personal 

identifiers you put out on social 

media. 

If you lost money to this 

kind of scam, it was a crime, so 

file a report with local law enforcement. 

And if you get any 

kind of scam call, report it at 

ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

1938 - 2021 

BROOKFIELD, NH - Mary Ann 

English, age 83 of Brookfield, NH,

Christina M. Love, brother George 

Cappannelli, 6 grandchildren and 

2 great grandchildren. 

Mary was a vibrant woman, with 

a beautiful smile who always put 

others first. In her working years 

she wore many hats, from owning 

her own fragrance business, to her 

position at the local senior center, 

in addition to volunteer work in 

her retirement years, which she 

adored. 

Mary cherished every moment 

spent with her family. She had 

many interests including reading, 

listening to music, dancing, traveling 

and planting flowers in her 

garden. She will be deeply missed 

by all. 

A celebration of her life will be 

held for family and friends at a 

later date.

PHOTO | PEABODY HISTORICAL SOCIETY 

The Johnson Proctor Tavern sign can be found at the Peabody Historical Society. 

Cheers to history and 

the Proctor Tavern 

From The Peabody 

Historical Socitey 

The Proctor family 

opened a tavern at their 

homestead on Lowell Street 

in 1666 “to sell Beere, sider 

& liquors for the accommodation 

of Travellours.” 

In 1796, Johnson Proctor 

purchased the inn and tavern, 

at 348 Lowell Street, 

from his mother. 

One of the most treasured 

items in the Peabody 

Historical Society’s collection 

is the Johnson Proctor 

Tavern Sign, as seen above. 

Proctor descendants recalled 

seeing this tavern 

sign in a pile of rubbish 

in a corn barn before it 

was donated to the Peabody 

Historical Society in 

1908. They also noted that 

the word “ENTERTAIN- 

MENT” could dimly be 

seen underneath the elephants 

on both sides. The 

tavern and farm remained 

in the Proctor family until 

1851. 

The inspiration for the 

elephant can be traced to 

the year 1796, when Capt. 

Jacob Crowninshield, a 

wealthy merchant from Salem, 

arrived in New York 

with a 2-year-old elephant 

he purchased in India. The 

animal caused an instant 

sensation in New York, 

where it was exhibited on 

the corner of Beaver Street 

and Broadway. Crowninshield 

sold the elephant for 

$10,000, and for the next 

several years it was exhibited 

in cities across America, 

including Charleston, 

Baltimore, Philadelphia, 

Boston and Salem. Thousands 

of people paid up to 

50 cents each to see the animal. 

The artist, who is unknown, 

may not have had 

first-hand knowledge of 

the elephant, because the 

scale of the animal to the 

human figures is distorted. 

By referencing a potent 

image from popular 

culture, there can be little 

doubt that Proctor hoped to 

profit from the sensation it 

caused.

Heather Leavell. 

Dear Members of the Peabody Community, 

We express our heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring 

of love we received from so many people since the 

sudden, tragic loss of our beautiful son Jack. The 

many expressions of support have been deeply 

touching and an incredible source of strength for our 

family at such a difficult time. 

While we are heartbroken by this immeasurable loss, 

we feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded by such a 

large community of caring, compassionate, thoughtful 

and giving people. These qualities were important to 

Jack, so mourning in solidarity with this amazing 

community has been especially comforting. We are 

Peabody Strong! 

We know that many of you will join us as we continue 

to carry Jack’s memory in our hearts. Again, we thank 

you for the outpouring of love you have shared with us 

in Jack’s name. We will remain forever grateful. 

With gratitude, 

Andy, Maryellen & Andrew Hamel

Announcing Roots to Kinship at the library 

From The Weekly NeWs 

The Peabody Institute 

Library is pleased 

to announce the official 

launch of our year-long 

community engagement 

project, Roots to Kinship. 

This project starts with a 

“Community Read” book 

and continues with book 

discussions and interactive 

programs related to 

the book, and then continues 

further with programming 

(both online 

and in person) related to 

the theme of “Roots to 

Kinship.” 

We’ve chosen “We 

Share the Same Sky” 

by New England author 

Rachael Cerrotti as our 

Community Read book. 

The author will be joining 

us at the library on 

April 26, to tell us more 

of her story, sign books 

and answer reader questions. 

From there, Rachael 

will also lead us 

on a path to discovering 

our own roots and creating 

art out of family and 

community histories. 

Patrons are encouraged 

to read or listen to 

the book at their own 

pace. Our librarians will 

keep you engaged while 

you read with discussions, 

interaction on social 

media, displays and 

activities inside the library, 

and other virtual 

content. Books are available 

for check out at the 

public service desks at 

all three branches, and 

e-books and e-audio are 

available on Libby. 

Find out more about 

the book and author at 

rachaelcerrotti.com. 

Beyond reading “We 

Share the Same Sky” 

together, this year-long, 

interactive, community-based 

project will 

include other book and 

movie discussions, genealogy 

and discovering-your-roots 

programs, 

arts-and-crafts programs, 

and more ways to connect 

with your neighbors. 

It will culminate 

in an open mic night ― 

an opportunity for participants 

to share what 

they’ve learned or created 

throughout the project. 

Be sure to follow our 

social media, for inspiration, 

tidbits from the 

book, and prompts to facilitate 

discussion. Stop 

by the library for more 

ways to participate!

Defensive effort lifts 

Peabody to win in 

David Green 

Memorial Tournament 

BOYS BASKETBALL 

By Mike Alongi 

WINTHROP — It may have 

been a fairly close game at 

halftime, but the Peabody boys 

basketball team came out in the 

second half with a suffocating 

defensive effort and was able 

to take home a 62-46 win over 

Winthrop in the championship 

game of the inaugural David 

Green Memorial Tournament 

at Chris Tsiotos Court Thursday 

afternoon. 

The tournament was established 

in honor of David Green, 

a former Massachusetts state 

trooper and Winthrop native 

who was killed in a shooting in 

Winthrop back in July. 

Shea Lynch, who was named 

the Tournament MVP, finished 

the game with 18 points 

and eight rebounds to lead the 

Tanners. Colin Berube added 12 

points and five rebounds to get 

named to the All-Tournament 

Team, while Anthony Forte 

(nine points, four steals), Danny 

Barrett (eight points) and Nick 

Soper (seven points) all played 

well in the win. 

“Our biggest strength as a 

team is that we don’t have to 

rely on one guy — we can get 

contributions from five, six or 

seven guys on any given night,” 

said Peabody coach Thad 

Broughton. “When we can get 

a bunch of guys going on offense 

and then play defense like 

we did (Thursday), we’ll be in 

good shape.” 

Winthrop, which was without 

a key player in Zach Bogusz, 

was led by George Galuris’ 

14-point performance. Mikey 

Chaves added 10 points in the 

loss, while Luca Zanelli contributed 

eight points and 10 

rebounds. Chris Cappuccio 

(five points, five rebounds) also 

played well for the Vikings. 

“We played well in spurts, 

but on the whole we simply 

made too many mistakes to stay 

in this game,” said Winthrop 

coach Mike Triant. “Give a lot 

of credit to Thad and Peabody, 

they run that pressure defense 

really well and it causes 

problems.” 

The Tanners got off to a solid 

start in this one, jumping ahead 

7-2 in the opening minutes. But 

Winthrop battled right back to 

within one point behind an 8-3 

rally, making it a game again by 

the end of the first quarter. 

In the second, Peabody 

started to get its defensive legs. 

A number of steals and quick 

transition baskets helped the 

Tanners extend their lead, and 

by halftime they held a 30-21 

advantage. 

But the third quarter is where 

the game was won for Peabody. 

The Tanners got explosive play 

from Lynch, Berube and Forte, 

with Peabody scoring 21 points 

in the quarter and allowing only 

seven. When the dust settled, 

the Tanners held a commanding 

51-28 lead. 

The Vikings did come out 

with some fight in the fourth 

quarter, outsourcing Peabody 

to get back within 20 points. 

But the Tanners were able to 

coast home with the easy win 

and the inaugural David Green 

Memorial Tournament title. 

Winthrop (2-3) hosts 

Marblehead Tuesday (7). 

“We’ve just got to keep 

working out there,” said Triant. 

“We still have issues at times 

with turnovers and scoring, but 

there were times (Thursday) 

where we played our best manto-man 

defense in the past two 

years. So there’s plenty to build 

on.”

road at Salem Friday (7). 

“We started 0-2 and now 

we’ve won four straight, so 

we’re definitely starting to play 

better,” said Broughton. “But I 

think the best thing is that we 

still have plenty of room to improve, 

so we’re just going to 

keep working and trying to get 

better each day.” 

Triant especially wanted to 

thank the Winthrop High staff 

for their support in getting the 

tournament off the ground this 

year and for helping establish a 

new tradition in the city. 

“I thought it was a great start 

to an annual tradition and a 

great way to honor a local man 

who gave his life for the community,” 

said Triant. 

Bishop Fenwick comes up short at Masconomet 

BOYS HOCKEY 


HAVERHILL — The Bishop 

Fenwick boys hockey team got 

off to a solid start on the road 

at Haverhill Valley Forum, but 

the Crusaders faded late and allowed 

three unanswered goals 

in the third period to fall to 

Masconomet by a score of 4-1 

Monday night. 

The lone goal for Fenwick 

was scored by Ralph Juffre, 

with Gerry Visconti notching 

the assist. Goalie Dillon Bloom 

notched 18 saves in the loss for 

the Crusaders. 

After a back-and-forth battle 

for much of the first period, 

Masconomet was finally able 

to draw first blood when Cam 

Juliano knocked home a rebound 

after a Bloom save with 

two minutes to go in the frame. 

It was Juliano’s first career varsity 

goal. 

But Fenwick wasn’t deterred, 

and within the first two minutes 

of the second period the 

Vikings knotted the score. After 

the Crusaders dumped the puck 

deep into the offensive zone, 

Visconti raced into the left 

corner and won the puck. He 

flipped a pass into the slot for a 

waiting Juffre, who one-timed it 

into the back of the net to make 

it a 1-1 game. 

The rest of the second period 

went by without incident, although 

Fenwick was forced to 

kill off two power plays and a 

five-on-three opportunity. 

But the third period was a 

different story, as Masconomet 

took control. It started when AJ 

Sacco found the back of the net 

with 13:30 to play, scoring on 

a near breakaway after coming 

out of the penalty box. He 

added his second goal of the 

game six minutes later, and he 

effectively sealed the win a few 

minutes after that by scoring his 

third and final goal of the game.

GIRLS HOCKEY 


HAVERHILL — The offense 

came to play for the Peabody/ 

Lynnfield girls hockey team 

Friday morning, as the Tanners 

pulled out a 6-1 road win over 

Masconomet in a Northeastern 

Hockey League matchup at 

Veterans Memorial Rink. 

It was a great win for 

Peabody/Lynnfield, which 

was missing 11 players due to 

injury and needed to shuffle 

things around for the early 

morning faceoff. 

“Things definitely looked a 

little different out there for us 

with all the missing players, but 

it was great to see so many of 

our younger girls step up with 

big minutes,” said Peabody/ 

Lynnfield coach Michelle 

Roach. “I think we can take a 

lot of positives away from this 

performance.” 

Chloe Considine led the way 

for Peabody/Lynnfield with 

two goals in the victory, while 

Penny Spack notched one goal 

and one assist. Jenna DiNapoli, 

Ella Chase and Catherine 

Sweeney each scored one goal, 

while Catie Kampersal — who 

was moved to defense for 

the game out of necessity — 

had two assists. Abi Travers, 

Caroline Burton and Ava 

Buckley each had one assist. 

“For younger players like 

Ava to come in and get quality 

minutes and also contribute to 

the offense, that’s huge,” said 

Roach. “Games like this are 

big for those players who are 

trying to find a place within 

our system.” 

After some back-and-forth 

play to start the game, the 

Tanners got on the scoreboard 

first when DiNapoli found the 

back of the net with about five 

minutes to play in the opening 

period. Chase took a pass from 

Spack and knocked it home a 

few minutes later to make it 

2-0, and Peabody/Lynnfield 

took that lead into the first 

intermission. 

The second period is where 

the Tanners started to really 

extend their lead, as Spack and 

Considine netted goals just 14 

seconds apart from each other 

to instantly double up the lead 

and make it 4-0. Masconomet 

was finally able to quell the 

rally as the second period came 

to a close, with Kailyn Willa 

scoring her first varsity goal 

with 44.2 seconds remaining to 

make it a 4-1 game. 

But that late spark wasn’t 

enough to shift the momentum, 

as Peabody/Lynnfield got two 

goals in the first seven minutes 

of the third — one each from 

Sweeney and Considine — to 

make it 6-1 and effectively ice 

the win. 

Peabody/Lynnfield (4-1-1) 

is back in action Saturday 

afternoon (4) for a home 

game against Marblehead at 

McVann-O’Keefe Memorial 

Rink. 

“It’ll be nice to have a day or 

two off and to get a bunch of 

skaters back on Sunday,” said 

Roach. “We know we’ve got a 

tough test in Newburyport on 

Wednesday and we want to win 

as many of these league games 

as possible, so we’re going to 

try to hit the ground running 

next week.”

BOYS BASKETBALL 


DANVERS — The St. 

Mary’s boys basketball team 

may not have had its offense 

clicking on all cylinders, but 

the Spartans made up for 

that on the defensive end in a 

52-42 win over St. John’s Prep 

in a non-league bout at Pat 

Connaughton Court Sunday 

afternoon. 

“Anytime you can hold a 

team like the Prep to 42 points, 

that’s a great defensive effort,” 

said St. Mary’s coach Dave 

Brown. “We didn’t shoot well 

at all out there, but if we come 

with that kind of a defensive 

effort then we’ll always be in 

the game.” 

Derick Coulanges led the 

Spartans with 13 points and 

two rebounds, while Omri 

Merryman added 10 points and 

six rebounds. Peabody native 

Henri Miraka had a solid game 

with nine points and seven rebounds, 

while Anthony D’Itria 

and Nick Sacco each scored 

four points. 

But the player of the game 

had to go to David Brown Jr., 

who filled the stat sheet with 

11 points, six rebounds, four 

assists and four steals. He 

also came up with a huge momentum-shifting, 

chase-down 

block in the final minutes of 

the game to keep the Spartans 

ahead. 

“David’s been around the 

game for a long time, and he 

knows when to make the right 

play,” said Brown. “He’s not a 

guy who cares about stats, he’s 

all about making the right play 

and doing what it takes to win.” 

The game was a defensive 

struggle from the very start, 

with neither team able to score 

a basket until three minutes had 

gone by in the first quarter. The 

two teams went back and forth 

for the rest of the quarter, and 

after a late flurry by the Eagles 

the Prep led 11-6. 

St. Mary’s battled back to 

tie things at 11-11 early in the 

second quarter, and the lead 

changed hands five different 

times before the half was over. 

But still, after a couple of solid 

defensive plays to end the half, 

St. John’s Prep went into the 

break with an 18-17 lead. 

The Spartans started to find 

their rhythm in the second half, 

but not before the Eagles took 

their largest lead of the game 

at five points. But St. Mary’s 

would not be deterred, and the 

Spartans pulled ahead before 

taking a seven-point lead (35- 

28) into the final frame. 

St. Mary’s extended its lead 

to 10 points early in the fourth, 

but St. John’s Prep would not 

go away. The Eagles rallied to 

get all the way back to within 

three points with three minutes 

to play in the game, and it appeared 

that all the momentum 

was on the home team’s side. 

But then came what both 

coaches said was the play of 

the game. 

After Jack Perry jumped a 

passing lane and stole a St. 

Mary’s pass, he broke free for 

a fast-break layup chance that 

would’ve made it a one-point 

game. But out of seemingly 

nowhere, Brown raced back 

from the offensive side of the 

court and leapt up to notch a 

LeBron James-esque chasedown 

block. He then picked 

up the rebound and fired it up 

the court, where Merryman 

was waiting to knock down a 

3-pointer that gave St. Mary’s 

a six-point lead. 

“It was a three-point game 

when he made that play, and 

that was just huge,” said 

Brown. “To put us up by six 

instead of only being up by one 

just made it a totally different 

game.” 

“That five-point swing probably 

decided things,” said St. 

John’s Prep coach John Dullea. 

“It was great to see us battle 

back to get to that point, but 

in the end St. Mary’s was just 

able to make a few more plays 

than we were.” 

The Spartans were able to 

keep the Eagles at bay from 

there, hitting a few clutch shots 

down the stretch to seal the win 

on the road. 

St. Mary’s (7-1) plays on the 

road at Bishop Fenwick Friday 

evening (6:30). 

St. John’s Prep (1-2) is off 

until Saturday (5), when it 

plays on the road at Central 

Catholic.

GIRLS HOCKEY 


PEABODY — It may have 

been ugly, but in the end both 

teams were able to skate away 

with a point. 

That’s how the head coaches 

of the Peabody/Lynnfield and 

Winthrop girls hockey teams 

felt following a 2-2 draw in a 

Northeastern Hockey League 

battle Dec. 29 at McVann- 

O’Keefe Memorial Rink. In 

all, 15 total penalties were 

called between the two teams. 

“When you’re running your 

special teams the whole night, 

it kind of throws things off on 

your bench,” said Peabody/ 

Lynnfield coach Michelle 

Roach. “I’d certainly like to 

see us not take as many penalties, 

but I did like to see that 

we were able to battle back two 

different times and walk away 

with the tie.” 

“It was just an unreal game 

between two really good 

teams,” said Winthrop coach 

Anthony Martucci. “You know 

coming in that when you have 

two physical teams, penalties 

are going to get called. It 

would have been nice to stay 

out of the box a little more and 

obviously not give up those 

two powerplay goals, but at 

the same time we were able to 

walk away with a point.” 

Sarah Powers had one goal 

and one assist to lead the way 

for Peabody/Lynnfield, while 

Jenna DiNapoli scored one 

goal and Hannah Gromko 

had one assist. Goalie Audrey 

Buckley had a big night in net 

with 32 saves. 

“We give out a Player of the 

Game award after each game, 

and Audrey for sure gets it 

(Wednesday),” said Roach. 

“She was the backbone of the 

team out there and she had 

a phenomenal performance 

keeping us in it all night.” 

The Vikings got goals 

from Mia Martucci and Julia 

Holmes in the draw. Winthrop 

goalie Summer Tallent made 

21 saves. 

“We had a lot of opportunities 

(Wednesday), and to 

be honest we’re having some 

trouble putting the puck in 

the net at the moment,” said 

Anthony Martucci. “It always 

helps when you have a oneof-a-kind 

goalie like Summer 

back there keeping you in the 

game, but we have to give her 

some support out there.” 

Winthrop came out hot to 

start the first period, scoring 

just one minute into play when 

Holmes found the back of the 

net to put the Vikings ahead 

early. The Vikings continued 

that early pressure for much 

of the first period, eventually 

taking that lead into the 

second. By the time the second 

period ended, Winthrop had already 

put 22 shots on net. 

But even with that pressure, 

Peabody/Lynnfield was able to 

find an opening. After earning 

a powerplay chance, Powers 

was able to rip a shot that 

DiNapoli was able to tip into 

the back of the net to tie the 

score up at 1-1. 

The two sides remained 

deadlocked going into the 

third period, but Mia Martucci 

quickly put the Vikings back 

in front when she slapped one 

home on the powerplay early 

in the final frame. 

However, as was the case 

all night, Peabody/Lynnfield 

quickly got a powerplay of 

its own and cashed in. It was 

Powers once again, as she 

scored with 8:30 left in the 

game to knot things up at 2-2. 

From there, the only things 

that flashed up on the scoreboard 

were penalties. After 

battling through the rest of the 

third period and then an entire 

overtime without either side 

giving an inch, the two league 

foes skated away with the draw.

New year, new events at Black Box Theater 

2022 will see the return of the Proving Ground local wrestling showcase, at the Black Box Theater, after it was a smash hit in 2021.

By Sophie yarin 

To kick off 2022, the city’s 

Black Box Theater has announced 

a year’s worth of 

unique, fun and community-driven 

events to inspire and 

entertain. 

Founded in 2018, the Black 

Box is the result of a partnership 

with the city and Northeast Arc, 

a not-for-profit organization 

that helps disabled children and 

adults become full participants 

in the community. Located in the 

heart of the city’s downtown, the 

theater’s James Family stage has 

seen stage productions, comedy 

shows, drag, dance, film, live 

music, and even wrestling. This 

year’s roster of events will see 

some familiar favorites return, 

and will also introduce some 

new fun into the mix. 

The Black Box’s first show 

of 2022 comes to audiences 

courtesy of Judy Garland and 

Barbra Streisand ― or their 

drag impersonators, that is. The 

Judy and Barbra show, featuring 

“New England’s #1 Judy 

Garland/Barbra Streisand drag 

duo,” will reprise its popular 

Drag Bingo night on Saturday, 

Jan. 8 from 8 to 10:15 p.m. Tickets 

cost $25 and include snacks, 

drinks, bingo games and special 

performances. This show is for 

those 21 and older. 

Catch some local wrestling 

on Saturday, Jan. 15 from 6 to 

10 p.m., when Proving Ground 

returns to the Black Box for 

its ‘biggest show to date,’ the 

North Shore Rumble. Of a cast 

of 30 contenders, one will earn 

the right to participate in the 

Proving Ground championship 

in March. In addition to the 

Proving Ground Championship 

match, this show will feature a 

DLC Championship match, a 

tag-team championship match 

and more. There will also be a 

cash bar available for guests age 

21 and over. Tickets cost $25 

and selling fast. 

Those in the mood for romance 

can catch Young Sinatra, 

a.k.a. New York’s Tony DiMeglio, 

on Monday, Feb. 14 from 

5 to 6 p.m. DiMeglio, who portrays 

the Chairman of the Board 

in New York’s longest currently-running 

Rat Pack revue, will 

perform favorites such as “A 

Foggy Day,” “I’ll Be Seeing 

You,” “Summer Wind,” “Witchcraft” 

and many more, along 

with some special tunes for Valentine’s 

Day. Ticket prices start 

at $25. 

Just in time for spring, the 

Black Box’s Easter Bunny Hop 

on Friday, April 15 from 1 to 

2 p.m., will be an afternoon of 

tunes, treats, and pictures with 

the Easter Bunny. Audiences 

will enjoy performances of 

hits such as “The Bunny Hop 

Hop,” “Easter Parade,” “Rockin’ 

Robin,” and more, while 

helping the Easter Bunny and 

friends find missing Easter eggs 

and save Easter. There will be 

a second performance of this 

family-friendly show at 4 p.m. 

Ticket prices begin at $20, while 

VIP ticket holders may receive a 

complementary photo with the 

Easter Bunny. 

New York City magician 

Matt Roberts returns to the Black 

Box on Saturday, April 23 from 

1 to 2:20 p.m., for an all-ages 

show filled with sleight of 

hand, levitation, mind reading, 

“a jaw-dropping twist on one 

of Houdini’s famous feats,” and 

a few laughs to round it all out. 

This show’s audience will be 

capped at 50 people in order to 

comply with COVID-19 guidelines, 

but never fear ― Roberts 

will be back at the Black Box 

on May 21, July 9, and Sept. 17. 

Ticket prices start at $20. 

After catching some magic, 

stick around for some tunes 

on Saturday, April 23 from 4 

to 5:30 p.m., when the Atlantic 

City Blues Brothers get soulful 

at the Black Box. Christian 

Milazzo and Cooper Jordan, 

fixture performers at Atlantic 

City’s Boardwalk Showroom, 

will reprise their roles as Jake 

and Elwood, played by John Belushi 

and Dan Aykroyd in John 

Landis’ beloved 1980 comedy. 

There will be another show from 

7:30 to 9 p.m., and ticket prices 

start at $25. 

In town from Las Vegas for 

one night only, tribute artist 

Martin Andrew will perform his 

one-man show, “Forever Rod,” 

a tribute to Rod Stewart’s decades-spanning 

career. There 

will be two performances on 

Saturday, May 21 ― one from 

4 to 5:30 p.m., and another from 

7:30 to 9 p.m. Fans of Faces will 

be treated to Stewarts early hits, 

and there’ll be plenty of beloved 

numbers from his storied solo 

career, such as “Maggie May” 

and “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” 


Cooper Jordan, one half of 

the Atlantic City Blues Brothers, 

will be back in town in the 

fall to host Boston’s Got Talent 

at the Black Box ― a showcase 

of rising stars from the Greater 

Boston area who will vie to 

compete in New York’s Got Talent 

All Stars: Stars of Tomorrow, 

a one-night event to be held in 

2023 in Times Square. Catch 

singers, dancers, ventriloquists, 

gymnasts and more ― as well as 

a program of high-profile judges 

― on the following dates: 

Wednesday, Sept. 14 from 7 

to 8:30 p.m. (Season 1 kickoff 

and preliminary round) 


to 8:30 p.m. (Season 2 preliminary 

round) 


to 8:30 p.m. (Season 1 semifinals 

and wildcards) 

Wednesday, October 12 from 

7 to 9 p.m. (Season 1 finale) 


Check out the Monster Mash 

Bash on Friday, Oct. 15, from 

2 to 3 p.m., where Dracula and 

friends will perform a “not-soscary 

spooky sing-along” for 

parents and kids. Sing along to 

Halloween favorites and get 

your picture taken with Drac, the 

wolfman, and Frankenstein and 

his Bride. Kids are encouraged 

to come in costume, but parents 

be warned: There will be candy. 

Tickets cost $20. 

Later in the day on Friday, 

Oct. 15, catch the Rat Pack Undead 

in their return to the Black 

Box. There will be two shows 

featuring the undying (some 

might say undead) talents of 

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and 

Sammy Davis Jr. in a modern ― 

and spooky ― revue that hails 

directly from Broadway’s 42nd 

Street. The Rat Pack Undead 

will perform the classic hits 

with a seasonal spin, including 

“Come Die With Me,” “Lie Me 

in the Tomb,” and “What Kind 

of Ghoul Am I?”. There will be 

four 90-minute shows in total: 

Friday, Oct. 15 at 4 and 7 p.m., 

and Saturday, Oct. 16 at 4 and 7 

p.m. Ticket prices start at $25.
