Geary withdraws from Essex Tech 

School Committee consideration 

By Anne MArie ToBin 

Michael Geary has informed 

the Lynnfield School 

Committee that he no longer 

wishes to be considered as the 

town’s representative on the 

Essex North Shore Agricultural 

and Technical School School 

Committee. 

Geary’s withdrawal from 

consideration came just one 

day after Town Moderator Joe 

Markey shared his reasons with 

the committee on why he was 

not reappointing the current 

representative, Gary Hathaway. 

He said that last year he “was 

informed that a committee 

member who served on the 

Lynnfield Town Meeting Study 

Committee … made a racial-motivated 

and disparaging comment 

about a business owner 

in the Town of Lynnfield,” 

Markey wrote. “I investigated 

the matter with the help of the 

Town Administrator’s office 

and came to my own conclusion 

that Mr. Hathaway made 

the comments referenced.” 

Hathaway has denied 

Markey’s allegations and said 

that every other member of 

the committee has no memory 

of any comments ever made. 

When Markey, who was also 

on the committee, was first 

contacted by committee Chair 

Jack Adelson about the claim, 

Markey responded he had “no 

clue” about the alleged incident.

Attorney General seeks involuntary 

dissolution of Lynnfield Youth Football 

By Anne MArie ToBBin 

A nearly six-year long investigation 

by Attorney General Maura 

Healey (AG), the future of Lynnfield 

Youth Football and Cheerleading, Inc. 

(LYF) may be drawing closer to a final 

resolution. 

But it might not be the result LYF 

has been hoping for. 

Healey’s office filed a Complaint for 

Involuntary Dissolution against LYF in 

the Supreme Judicial Court on Dec. 22, 

claiming LYF has ceased conducting 

any charitable activities as it has been 

inactive since 2018. 

A single-justice hearing was held on 

Dec. 29 before Justice Elspeth Cypher. 

She opened the hearing saying that she 

“gets a lot of cases like this, but (has) 

never seen a contested one.” 

Assistant Attorney General Eric 

Carriker said he hadn’t ever seen one 

either. 

“They have and in the past continue 

to go to great lengths to avoid scrutiny” 

in “resisting the court’s authority,” 

Carriker said during the hearing. 

The AG’s office initiated the action

Lynn Public Schools Director of Health and 

Wellness Michael Geary 

on the basis that its investigation shows 

that LYF’s dissolution would be in the 

public interest and that the organization 

has “abandoned” its charitable mission. 

“The Attorney General makes this 

conclusion because (a) LYF has assets 

remaining that are not being used to 

pursue its charitable mission; Lynnfield 

Pioneer (Youth Football and Cheer) 

(LPYFC) is actively pursuing the 

charitable mission that LYF has effectively 

abandoned,” Carriker said in the 

complaint.

Town searching 

for interim 

health director 

By SAM MinTon 

With Kristin Esposito McRae retiring 

within the next couple of months, the 

Board of Health will be looking for a 

new Health Director and on Monday they 

stated they are looking for a temporary fill. 

“The transition from the current director 

to an interim director is what we are 

looking at,” said Board of Health Chair 

Rocco Iocco. 

According to Iocco, the current Health 

Director will be retiring in the first week 

of February, but she may be able to stay on 

longer until possibly the end of the month. 

“That works to our advantage in terms 

of buying us some time,” he said. 

Still, McRae hopes to continue working 

as a Technical Director with a focus a 

septic and Title V “almost indefinitely” 

according to the chair. With her experience 

and knowledge of Lynnfield, Iocco 

believes that she would help out a lot in 

this role. 

Currently, the Board of Health has its 

eyes set on two candidates. 

Gail Link McCausland was on the board 

when Lynnfield hired McRae and believes 

that the uniqueness of this role could make 

the hiring process difficult for the town. 

Specifically, the focus on septic and regulatory 

issues compared to a singular focus 

on community health.

Geary withdraws 

from Essex Tech 

School Committee 

consideration 

GEARY 

From page 1 

Geary, who was nominated by 

Town Moderator Joe Markey, 

informed the committee he was 

withdrawing his name in an 

email dated Jan. 11 in which he 

noted his objection to the way 

the committee treated him during 

a Jan. 4 School Committee 

meeting about the appointment. 

“While I am grateful for Town 

Moderator Joseph Markey and 

his sincere belief that I would 

push knowledge and education 

forward for Lynnfield’s vocational 

students, I am instead 

choosing to volunteer my efforts 

in a setting far removed from 

the petty critiques and adolescent 

line of questioning from 

certain members of our School 

Committee,” Geary wrote. 

The questioning Geary objected 

to revolved around the 

committee’s concerns over a 

potential conflict of interest on 

the part of Markey in his capacity 

as a volunteer assistant 

coach under Geary at Essex 

Tech and as an assistant coach 

under Geary at Wakefield High 

School. The committee also had 

concerns over Geary’s failure to 

include the Essex Tech coaching 

position on the resume he supplied 

to the committee.Geary 

also did not disclose that he is 

the brother of Thomas Geary, 

the school district’s director of 

finance. 

At no time during the meeting 

did Markey mention anything 

about why he was not reappointing 

Hathaway despite 

having knowledge of the alleged 

incident since Feb. 26 2021. 

Markey also weighed in on 

the Jan. 4 meeting in an email 

to the committee informing it 

that Geary had withdrawn his 

nomination. 

“I was just informed that 

Michael Geary will be withdrawing 

his name from consideration 

for this appointment due 

to the contentious and accusatory 

nature of the last school committee 

meeting,” Markey wrote. 

“I look forward to bringing a 

new candidate before the committee 

in the near future.” 

Geary said he is moving on. 

“Throughout my professional 

career in education, my goal has 

always been to advance knowledge, 

promote understanding, 

and serve society,” Geary wrote. 

“Even without a seat on the 

committee, I will continue to 

follow through on these pursuits. 

And I will do so with pride for 

the town in which I was raised, 

continue to live, and along with 

my wife, raise our two children.”

Board of Health Chair Dr. Rocco Iocco, left, and member Gail Link McCausland said they were 

both aware of the potential issues the town would face in finding a new health director. 

City searching for 

interim health director 

HEALTH 

From page 1 

McCausland is worried 

about someone without the 

proper experience requiring 

help as they grow into the 

role. 

With a number of communities 

looking for a Health 

Director according to Town 

Manager Rob Dolan, retirements, 

and burnout, 

Lynnfield will likely have 

to look to a younger group 

of candidates that might 

not have the experience the 

town is looking for but still 

will be qualified. 

“There are certain requirements 

to be a Health 

Director,” he said. If you 

are a nurse or even a physician 

it doesn’t qualify you, 

you have to have a certain 

qualification.” 

There are concerns about 

one candidate for the position 

who has worked in 

a multitude of communities 

for a short period of 

time. Also with the demand 

for Health Directors, 

McCausland wondered 

why she hadn’t been hired 

by other towns. The other 

candidate while owning a 

wealth of experience has 

been retired for a year. 

McCausland wondered if 

they could hire both candidates 

with the more experienced 

serving in a consultant 

role. Dolan said that is 

an option. 

McCausland added that an 

evaluation of how the Board 

of Health operates is “way 

overdue.” 

“When we hired Kristin, 

we were coming from a parttime 

person who didn’t even 

live in the state,” she said. 

“As you said we don’t really 

do that much in prevention 

because we are constantly 

overwhelmed with regulatory. 

We have been trying to 

keep our head above water 

with that so I think this really 

is a good time to say ‘is 

this what we want to be and 

if now what are the ways 

that we need to grow.” 

COVID numbers may be in decline, but Davis advises caution 

By Anne MArie ToBin 

There was good news this 

week on the COVID-19 front as 

the town is reporting some of its 

lowest numbers in quite some 

time. 

Data posted Tuesday, Jan. 

18 on the town’s Office of 

Emergency Management website’s 

COVID-19 dashboard 

showed the number of cases in 

the last seven days dropped to 

153. The town previously reported

high since the start of the pandemic 

in March 2020. 

Despite the declining numbers, 

Emergency Management 

Team Director and Lynnfield 

Fire Chief Glenn Davis says 

caution is still advised. 

“The state-reported cases are 

much less than the real numbers 

because of the increase in rapid 

tests used in the home,” he said. 

“The state’s data doesn’t include 

positive cases from home 

testing because those aren’t reported 

to the state. Yes, it’s a 

decline, but I’m sure the state’s 

numbers are reflective of the 

actual number of positive cases 

and state data isn’t giving me 

any warm and fuzzy feelings 

about where we are.” 

While cases over the last 14 

days also dropped to 444 from 

a high of 518 cases on Jan. 10, 

the number of cases over the 

last 21 days and last 28 days 

978-281-2612 

AdultFosterCareNS.com 

remained at record levels with 

676 and 813 cases, respectively. 

Those numbers were nonetheless 

well above the number of 

cases on Jan. 1, which reported 

381 cases over the last 21 days 

and 447 cases over the last 28 

days. Residents aged 20 and 

under continue to remain fairly 

high with 71 cases in children 

ages 0-9 and 88 cases in the 

10-19 age group. With the exception 

of the 60-69 age group, 

which increased from 37 cases 

to 47 over the last week, every 

other age group saw improvement 

compared to data reported 

on Jan. 11. Cases in the 20-29 

group dropped from 77 to 

57, while cases in the 30-39 

group dropped from 60 to 51. 

Other age groups saw slight 

improvement. 

The number of cases in the 

town’s schools dropped significantly 

over the last week with 

only 28 cases reported as of 

Jan. 18, down from 69 cases on 

Jan. 11 and a record high 121 

cases on Jan. 8. Lynnfield High 

School showed the most dramatic 

improvement, dropping 

from a high of 52 on Jan. 8 to 

14 cases on Jan. 18. 

Unlike the overall town numbers, 

Davis said he puts more 

faith in the accuracy of the 

schools’ data. 

“I tend to believe that the 

school numbers do indicate a 

decline, so that’s something 

good,” he said. 

Davis said he feels the most 

important indicator of the 

number of cases statewide is 

hospital bed occupancy. 

“It’s 95 percent right now, 

which is very high and is not in 

decline, so that’s indicative of 

what’s really going on,” Davis 

said.”Most of those cases we 

are seeing in the ICU and emergency 

rooms at hospitals are 

unvaccinated people, but there 

are some breakthrough cases as 

well. I believe that what we are 

seeing at hospitals is a far more 

accurate tool in assessing where 

we are with COVID. The state 

may be reporting declines, but 

those numbers don’t really tell 

us accurate numbers in terms 

of the total number of people 

testing positive because there 

are so many people now testing 

at home and not reporting their 

results to the state.”

Attorney General 

seeks involuntary 

dissolution of Lynnfield 

Youth Football 

Professional organizoer Susan Parziale, left, talks with client Liana Bevilacqua, right, after organizing 

the bottom of her closet. 

Town’s own Organizing 

Fairy named best 

in Boston — again 

By AlenA KuzuB 

For the fifth time in a row, town 

resident Susan Parziale is among 

the top Boston home organizers, 

according to Expertise.com, for 

helping bring order and efficiency 

to her client’s life. 

Parziale started her organizing 

career in 2008 when she was 

looking for something to do between 

the times she was driving 

her daughter to school. She had 10 

years of experience in administrative 

work at Goodwin Procter and 

a love for organizing. 

Parziale got her first clients after 

sharing her interest in organizing 

with her running group, and then 

little by little built her business 

by getting work from friends of 

friends, advertising on Craigslist 

and later joining Facebook and real-estate 

groups. 

Today, among the services 

Parziale provides are residential 

organization of attics, garages, 

kitchens, help with downsizing, 

moving, estate-sales oversight, 

small-business and home-office 

organization including work zones, 

filing systems and office relocation, 

management of charitable 

donations as well as specialty services 

like wine-cellar setup with 

barcoding, remote administrative 

assistant and concierge services. 

Parziale said listening to the 

client and what they want, and 

being patient is one of the traits that 

helps her in her work. The client 

has to be ready to purge, she said. 

“You just don’t want to shuffle 

things around. They have to be 

ready to let it go,” Parziale said. 

Parziale will listen to client’s stories 

about every photo, but will also 

keep them moving along, and help 

them save the most special things. 

It can be especially hard on older 

people who have to get rid of a lot 

because they are downsizing and 

going to an assisted-living facility. 

“I tell them (clients) I’ll have an 

estate sale for you and everything 

will go to a new family and have 

a new life,” Parziale said. “They 

don’t miss anything once it’s 

gone.” 

Parziale usually works alone, 

occasionally using the help of her 

sister or a girlfriend at an estate 

sale. A job can take her anywhere 

from four visits organizing a playroom, 

to five days for organizing 

an attic, to an entire summer for 

setting up a home for an international 

couple relocating to the U.S. 

Susan Parziale. 

One interesting specialty service 

Parziale developed is organizing 

wine and wine cellars. When a 

friend called her and asked her to 

organize their secret wine cellar 

where several families stored their 

wine, Parziale responded that she 

had never done it before. 

She ended up getting online, perusing 

wine-chat sites and finding 

the best program for organizing 

wine that everybody used. Now, 

Parziale arranges wine by region 

and scans barcodes of each bottle. 

That is how she got to meet 

SharkTank’s Kevin O’Leary, a.k.a 

Mr. Wonderful, whose wine collection 

she maintains, and many 

other prominent business owners 

in Boston. 

Parziale also provides a unique 

service for special needs families, 

helping them create and maintain 

binders with educational materials 

and medical records and bills. 

“I discount my rate to autism 

families because I am also an autism 

mom,” Parziale said. “The 

paperwork with having a special 

needs child is voluminous and it 

really needs to be pretty much in 

one spot.” 

She said that tracking all of the 

paperwork can be overwhelming 

even for her because new papers 

come in constantly and very fast. 

“(I) really like to help as many 

families as I can,” Parziale said. 

Parziale loves her job. She loves 

when people tell her that they don’t 

even miss their old clothes and can 

now walk into their closet and see 

everything that they own. 

And she advises to talk to a few 

organizers before committing to 

one. 

“Make sure that they’re a good 

fit because you will be working 

closely with these people,” said 

Parziale. 

A few tips from 

Susan Parziale: 

1. “Those shoes that you spent 

$200 on that pinch your feet and 

you hate them. Give them to somebody 

else that will use them. They 

are not doing any good sitting at 

the bottom of the closet,” Parziale 

said. 

If you haven’t worn something 

in a year or two, get it out of the 

house. 

“Don’t hold onto things, don’t 

hold on to furniture, saving it for 

your kids. Trust me, they don’t 

want it.” 

2. Make a little money by 

selling your clothes and shoes on 

Facebook marketplace, Poshmark, 

Macari or other websites and apps. 

“Young girls are being so responsible 

now. They don’t mind 

going to a thrift store and finding 

something from the seventies or 

eighties and bringing it into this 

day. I love that,” said Parziale. 

3. When you go to the mailbox, 

don’t attack the mail until you’re 

ready to look at it. Do it over the recycling 

bin, throw unwanted paper 

into recycling and take the bills and 

put them into a dedicated basket. 

Take the magazines and put them 

in a rack. If it is a birthday party, 

hang the invitation up on the calendar, 

write it on the calendar. 

“And then you’ve dealt with 

your mail,” said Parziale. “I highly 

recommend to so many of my clients 

just do the auto pay [for bills].” 

4. Use the wall space. If you 

think you have no space to store 

things, take a look at your walls. 

Simple shelving can create a lot of 

room. 

“Don’t get me wrong. I love The 

Container Store. I always call it my 

mothership, but there’s a lot of organizing 

supplies that are a lot less 

expensive on Amazon, as well as 

Walmart,” Parziale said. 

FOOTBALL 

From page 1 

The complaint also alleges that 

LYF has not provided concession 

stands income/expense records; 

that LYF is not in compliance 

with annual reporting 

obligations and that LYF “has 

failed to account for almost 

$20,000 which it reported possessing 

as of June 30, 2019.” 

The complaint also seeks 

the appointment of LPYFC 

treasurer Lauren Maney 

George — a forensic accountant 

and attorney — as agent 

to examine relevant financial 

documentation. 

According to the complaint, 

the AG’s office began receiving 

complaints in 2015 that LYF, 

“which was organized and 

controlled by a certified public 

accountant and the proprietor 

of the sole-provider of LYF apparel, 

State-Line Graphics, had 

refused to account to parents 

for income received from LYF’s 

concession-stand sales during 

football games and that LYF officers 

had threatened to bar LYF 

parents and their children from 

participation if they complained 

about LYF’s lack of financial 

transparency.” 

LYF filed an answer to the 

complaint indicating its opposition 

to the dissolution and 

opposition to the AG’s motion 

for an order to appoint George 

as agent LYF’s answer asserts 

several defenses. 

“LYF has “acted in good faith 

and (is) in compliance with its 

statutory obligations” and that 

“with respect to the evented 

complained of in the complaint, 

(was) at all times in compliance 

with the law and its legal obligations,” 

the answer claims 

Carriker argued in the complaint 

and at the court hearing 

that “LYF did not provide records 

sufficient to account for 

the income and expenses associated 

with” the concession 

stand. “Disaffected parents” established 

LPYFC in the fall of 

2017. “By fall 2018, Lynnfield 

Pioneer had effectively replaced 

LYF in conducting youth football 

and cheerleading activities 

formerly conducted by LYF.” 

Carriker said the legal standard 

to be applied in involuntary 

dissolution cases, saying 

that dissolution is warranted 

if the charity in question has 

failed to make required filings 

for a period of two years or if 

the AG is satisfied that the corporation 

is inactive and (dissolution) 

would be in the public’s 

best interests. 

When asked by Cypher to 

explain the AG’s position that 

LYF is inactive, Carriker said 

that financial form PCs filed by 

the organization for 2017 and 

2018, showed a “significant 

amount of expenses and activity,” 

but the 2019 PC shows 

only “several hundred dollars of 

expenses.” 

In forms submitted to the 

court, LYF reported $115,322 in 

expenses, $78,639 in assets and 

$102,737 in revenue for FY17. 

Just two years later (2019), the 

organization reported no revenue, 

only $258 in expenses 

and $20,879 in assets. 

“They (LYF) have not been 

running any programs (for) the 

last three years,” Carriker said, 

adding that there are “no longer 

any officers.” 

Carriker went on to state his 

concerns with the lack of accounting 

regarding the concession 

stand and LYF’s relationship 

with State-Line Graphics, 

saying “there’s something undo 

in those transactions.” 

LYF Attorney Bradford 

Keene vigorously objected 

to Carriker’s claims that LYF 

failed to file documentation as 

requested by the AG, saying 

he thought the case had been 

“shelved” and that he “kind of 

forgot about this.” 

Despite that statement, Keene 

said that “we have responded to 

every request … from the beginning,” 

Keene said. 

Cypher noted there are numerous 

factual discrepancies 

between the parties and that 

“we need some fact finding.. 

She noted the parties were due 

to appear in Suffolk Superior 

Court for a status conference on 

Jan. 18 on a related matter. 

Cypher declined to act on 

the appointment of George as 

agent. LYF’s answer said that 

it objects to her appointment 

because as a federal employee, 

she is “prohibited from providing 

any such service.” 

Carriker made it clear that 

isn’t the case as George has received 

authorization from the 

Department of Justice to act as 

an agent.

Webinar takes the mystery out 

of a company retirement plan 

For The Weekly NeWs 

 

webinar, “Taking the Mystery 

out of a Company Retirement 

Plan, Including the Impact of 

the Current Financial Market” 

hosted by First Financial Trust 

in mid-November is now available 

to be viewed on YouTube 

via The Savings Bank website 

www.tsbawake24.com. 

Conducted by Andrew 

DiNuccio, investment officer 

and manager of the 401(k) program 

at First Financial Trust, 

a subsidiary of The Savings 

Bank, the webinar focused on 

the financial market in 2021, 

factors affecting recent and 

future markets including inflation, 

political landscape, China, 

supply-chain crunch, cyber security, 

and expectations for the 

financial market in 2022. He 

also reviewed what to look for 

in setting up a new 401(k) plan, 

and how to potentially lower 

costs and increase benefits on 

an existing 401(k) plan. 

Webinar topics include different 

capacities you can select 

your retirement-plan advisor 

to act in, the differences and 

benefits of a 3(38) and 3(21) 

advisor, the constantly shifting 

ERISA landscape, how a fiduciary-investment 

advisor can 

take the challenging burden off 

of a business owner, tax-benefits 

employers and employees 

receive by investing into a defined 

contribution retirement 

plan, and how a retirement-plan 

advisor works directly with 

tax advisors to ensure you are 

taking full advantage of these 

benefits. 

In addition to viewing the 

webinar, those interested can 

also arrange for a review of 

an existing plan to see if costs 

can be reduced, or an investment 

strategy can be modified 

or work through the benefits of 

starting a 401(k) plan, by contacting 

Andrew DiNuccio at 

617-658-7624.

the most recent in an ongoing

“Bring The Good,” a refreshing 

new concept and art 

show produced by the Lynnfield 

Art Guild (LAG), Christopher 

J. Carino and Jamie Dean of 

the Albion Cultural Exchange 

(ACE) are coming to downtown 

Wakefield. The show will 

be hosted at ACE, at 9 Albion 

St. in downtown Wakefield on 

six consecutive Friday evenings 

from 5 to 7:30 p.m. from Jan. 

21 through Feb. 25. 

The show includes more than 

60 pieces created by LAG artists, 

showcasing art and photography 

that focus on positive 

vibes, color and the good that 

people have in their lives today. 

LAG promises the show 

is guaranteed to lift viewers’ 

spirits in these dark winter 

months. 

“The term ‘Bring The Good’ 

just clicked with us this past 

year and we realized quickly 

it was something special we 

wanted,” said Dean. 

In addition to the positive 

energy the show engenders, 

the exhibit also features many 

members of the Lynnfield Art 

Guild who are new to ACE. 

During the middle four Friday 

shows, there will be opportunities 

to engage with LAG artists 

who will demonstrate their artistic 

painting and photography 

techniques. 

“As a regional art hub, ACE 

is now attracting artists and attendees 

from all over the North 

Shore of Boston” said Carino, 

the show’s co-producer and 

chairperson of ACE. 

LAG said that popular LAG 

artists Beverly Cook and LAG 

President Dan Abenaim were 

key in developing the new relationship 

and partnership with 

ACE. 

Cook reached out to the ACE 

team after hearing about their 

recently completed gallery renovations, 

while Abenaim has 

been instrumental in providing 

support and design to the gallery’s 

layout for this show. 

“The Lynnfield Art Guild 

team is excited to bring their 

energy and works to the Albion 

Arts District and downtown 

Wakefield for this high energy 

show,” said Beth Aronson, a 

featured artist. 

Featured artists include 

Aaronson, Abenaim, Mark 

Bankoff, Donna Barnes,

REGISTER FOR ONE OR 

MORE SESSIONS HERE 

A Healthy Lynnfield (AHL) 

is offering a series of workshops 

for town employees designed to 

improve conditions in the workplace. 

Sessions will be held at 

Town Hall from 9 to 10 a.m. on 

Wednesdays, starting on Feb. 9 

when AHL hosts “Words at Work 

- Why They Matter,” a conversation 

with Cyndi Weeks Bradley 

and The Equity Process on why 

words at work matter and how to 

dispel the unconscious bias many 

people bring to the workplace. 

AHL said that learning how 

words may unintentionally cause 

insult or harm and how to avoid 

this helps establish more healthy 

and productive relationships with 

colleagues at work. 

On March 9, AHL will host 

a session entitled “Creating 

Harmony Across Generations at 

Work” to address the fact that today’s 

workplaces are constantly 

evolving and are multi-generational. 

“Today, it’s possible to 

have four generations on the same 

team sharing the same space with 

each generation bringing its own 

values, rules, and styles,” AHL 

Substance Abuse Coordinator 

Peg Sallade said. “This workshop 

will explore strengths and values 

of each generation and provide 

tips for a harmonious work 

environment.” 

“How to Create a Respectful 

Workplace” will be held on April 

13. The focus will be on how integrity 

and respect in the workplace 

helps cultivate a positive 

environment. This program will 

introduce communication skills 

and other behaviors that promote 

respectful, open ways of relating, 

settling differences, and working 

as a team.

Lynnfield stays hot with win over Pentucket 

BOYS HOCKEY 

By Mike Alongi 

PEABODY — The Lynnfield 

hockey team took advantage of 

a number of powerplay opportunities 

and kept its offense firing 

on all cylinders Saturday afternoon, 

notching a 6-0 shutout 

win over Pentucket in a Cape 

Ann League battle at McVann- 

O’Keefe Memorial Rink. 

“It was great to see us continue 

to play well on the powerplay 

and take advantage of our 

opportunities,” said Lynnfield 

coach Jon Gardner. “When 

you’re able to jump ahead early 

like that, it makes things a lot 

easier out there.” 

Senior captain Chase Carney 

once again led the offensive attack 

in the win, scoring three 

goals to bring his total on the 

season to 15. Drew Damiani, 

Timmy Sullivan and Will 

Steadman each netted one goal 

in the victory. Evan Fitzmeyer 

got the start in net and earned 

the win for the Pioneers. 

For Gardner, the influx of offense 

to this point in the season 

— the Pioneers have scored 45 

goals in just nine games — has 

been a welcome addition. 

“It’s definitely uncharted waters 

for us because in years past 

we’ve never really cashed in 

on our opportunities like this,” 

said Gardner. “To have that top 

line of Chase, Will and Aidan 

(Burke) clicking like they are 

and to have guys like Drew 

playing well on the powerplay, 

it’s been great. It really helps 

when you’re able to score like 

we have been.” 

Lynnfield got off to a fast 

start, as Sullivan found the 

back of the net early on to 

put the Pioneers ahead 1-0. 

After a Pentucket penalty gave 

Lynnfield the man-advantage, 

Carney scored the first of his 

three goals to double up the 

lead. Damiani added a powerplay 

goal of his own a few 

minutes later, and the Pioneers 

took a 3-0 lead into the first 

intermission. 

Carney started off the second 

period with yet another powerplay 

goal, then he capped off his 

hat trick a few minutes later to 

give Lynnfield a commanding 

5-0 lead after two periods. Once 

Steadman found the back of the 

net midway through the third 

period, the Pioneers skated to 

an easy victory. 

This is the start of an important 

stretch for the Pioneers, 

who will play two non-conference 

games this week before 

going on a stretch four tough 

CAL matchups in a row. 

“Once we get to those league

games, it’s going to be about 

who wants to win the CAL,” 

said Gardner. “The guys have 

had that as a big-picture goal all 

season, so that’s going to be a 

crucial stretch for us.” 

MONDAY 

Lynnfield 5, Westwood 2 

The Pioneers went on the 

road to Canton Ice House and 

came home with a big non-conference 

victory. 

Chase Carney continued 

his stellar start to the season, 

scoring three goals and adding 

two assists for a five-point day. 

Drew Damiani continued to lead 

the way from the blue line with 

one goal and two assists, while 

Aidan Burke also contributed 

one goal and two assists. Tyler 

Scoppetuolo notched one assist, 

while goalie Phineas Mitchener 

earned the victory in net. 

“We started playing them 

years ago when we played 

in the Fairleigh Dickinson 

Tournament out on Martha’s 

Vineyard, and ever since then 

we’ve been scheduling homeand-homes 

with them,” said 

Gardner. “We know it’s going 

to be a tough non-league test, so 

we’re going to have to bring our 

best.”

Rally comes up short for Pioneers 

GIRLS BASKETBALL 


LYNNFIELD — The 

Lynnfield girls basketball team 

went on a third-quarter rally 

and made a game of it back 

on Jan. 12, but the Pioneers 

simply couldn’t sustain the 

run for long enough in a 52-40 

loss to Cape Ann League foe 

Amesbury at Lynnfield High 

School. 

“The girls fought hard and 

really made a great run there in 

the second half, but it’s tough 

to sustain runs against a team 

that’s so much bigger than 

you,” said Lynnfield coach 

Susan Breen. “The girls are 

getting better and I think our 

defense was really good for the 

most part, but we just need to 

be more consistent on the offensive 

end.” 

Abby Adamo led the way 

for the Pioneers with 11 points 

and eight rebounds in the loss, 

while Isabella George was 

close behind with nine points 

and two rebounds. Maggie 

Ozanian added six points and 

six rebounds, while Taylor 

Valiton had six points and three 

rebounds. Lucy Cleary notched 

five points and five rebounds, 

Jaelynn Moon finished with 

three points and two rebounds 

and Ava Gamache notched five 

rebounds. 

The Pioneers didn’t get off 

to a great start, falling behind 

8-0 in the opening minutes and 

not scoring its first basket until 

there were four minutes left 

in the quarter. After Lynnfield 

battled back to within four, 

Amesbury went on a run to 

close the quarter and take a 

16-8 lead. 

Things didn’t go much 

better in the second, as the 

Pioneers continued to struggle 

making shots against the 

taller Amesbury defenders. 

When halftime rolled around, 

Lynnfield trailed the Indians 

by a score of 27-14. 

But things flipped in the 

third quarter, mainly behind 

a number of great defensive 

sequences from the Pioneers. 

Lynnfield was able to creep 

right back into the game, and 

after Adamo knocked down 

a critical 3-pointer with two 

minutes to go in the quarter, 

the Pioneers were only down 

34-29. 

Amesbury took that fivepoint 

lead into the final quarter 

and never let Lynnfield get 

close again. The Pioneers also 

chose the worst time to go 

ice-cold from the field, not 

making their first basket until 

there was 2:10 on the clock. 

Amesbury, on the other hand, 

got red-hot and never looked 

back, coasting to a 12-point 

victory. 

“It’s tough to sustain those 

runs against a team that good,” 

said Breen. “We just didn’t 

make enough shots out there. 

If some of those shots go in, 

maybe it turns out differently.” 

Lynnfield (1-5) returns to the 

court Friday evening (5:30) at 

home against Triton. 

“We’re playing really well 

right now despite our record, 

and I think we’re really 

building up to something 

great,” said Breen. “We’re 

going to come right back out 

(Wednesday) and try to put together 

another good effort.”

Spartans hold off 

stubborn Bishop Fenwick 

GIRLS BASKETBALL 

By Steve Krause 

PEABODY — Now this was 

a basketball game. 

You had two teams playing 

uptempo hoops, running up and 

down the court, getting in each 

other’s way, fouling like crazy 

— especially in the second 

half — and competing from the 

opening tap to the closing horn. 

And the final score was absolutely 

reflective of the game 

— the St. Mary’s girls defeated 

Bishop Fenwick, 66-64. 

The game came down to the 

last seconds, let alone the last 

minute. With 2:39 to go, the 

Spartans led by 12 (59-47) but 

the Crusaders wouldn’t quit. 

That’s when they ripped off 

nine straight points, punctuated 

by a from-the-parking-lot 

3-pointer by Erica Lendall (one 

of three late-game treys). 

“Up by 12 at that point, I’d 

have hoped we could have 

closed it out, but we couldn’t,” 

said St. Mary’s coach Jeff 

Newhall. “But that’s what they 

do. They’re an excellent team. 

One of the best teams in the 

state. So to beat them at their 

place, I’ll take it.” 

Niya Morgen broke the run 

with a bucket with 1:13 to go, 

but Fenwick continued its longrange 

shooting with Olivia 

Found pouring one in from beyond 

the arc, and all of a sudden 

it was 61-59 with just under 

one minute to go. Yirsy Queliz, 

one of a trio of Spartans with 

17 points (Morgen and Kellyn 

Preira the others), sank two foul 

shots to put the lead back up to 

four for St. Mary’s. From there, 

each team turned the ball over 

— Fenwick’s coming with 27.6 

seconds left. Morgen hit one of 

two free throws, but Found was 

back on the other end with two 

from the line. Morgen again 

hit one of two before Lendall 

was back with another three, 

and with 11.8 seconds showing 

on the clock it was a one-point 

game (65-54). 

Preira hit one of two from the 

line, but Fenwick, in an attempt 

to throw a home-run pass, overshot 

the runway and the ball 

whipped off the back wall. With 

1.8 seconds left. All St. Mary’s 

had to do was lob the ball down 

the court and gain possession of 

it, which it did, and the game finally 

ended. 

“We have to start better,” 

said Fenwick assistant coach 

Dave Harrington, acting in the 

absence of head coach Adam 

DeBaggis. “We had a little 

trouble getting going offensively, 

and that hurt us tonight.” 

Fenwick also ran into some 

hard luck late in the game when 

Cecilia Kay, who had a gamehigh 

21 points and was a presence 

on both ends of the floor, 

cramped up and had to leave the 

game with under two minutes 

to go. 

“She’s very active,” said 

Harrington. “It was a shame we 

lost her.” 

Neither team could get too 

far away from the other. After a 

quarter it was 17-13, St. Mary’s, 

and the Spartans led, 29-23 at 

the break., 

It looked as if St. Mary’s 

would put some distance between 

itself and Fenwick in the 

third quarter, going up by 11 

(40-2). But a 9-0 Crusader run 

catapulted them right back into 

the game. 

Found ended up with 15 

points for Fenwick while Maria 

Orfanos had 11. 

Fenwick (5-3) will play 

Friday evening (6:30) on the 

road at Cathedral.

BOYS BASKETBALL 


LYNN — Defense was the 

name of the game Wednesday 

night, as the St. Mary’s boys 

basketball team held the normally 

high-powered Bishop 

Fenwick Crusaders under wraps 

all game long in a 64-45 victory 

at Tony Conigliaro Gymnasium. 

For Fenwick, Mike Yentin led 

the way with 15 points and nine 

rebounds. Nick Bowers added 

a double-double with 10 points 

and 12 rebounds, while Che 

Hanks finished the night with 

nine points and five rebounds. 

Gianni Mercurio (six points, 11 

rebounds) and Jason Romans 

(five points, seven rebounds) 

also played well in the loss. 

“In the end, it all came down 

to execution,” said Fenwick 

coach Kevin Moran. “We knew 

that if we came out and turned 

the ball over, we’d have a hard 

time winning this game. St. 

Mary’s did a great job of pressuring 

us, and we just didn’t 

a 7-5 victory over St. John’s 

(Shrewsbury) in a inaugural 

Catholic Conference Showcase 

at Canton Ice House. 

Lynnfield native Christian 

Rosa scored two goals for the 

Eagles in the win, while fellow 

Lynnfield native Tommy Sarni 

handle it very well.” 

It started off as a defensive 

struggle for both teams, as 

Fenwick had just barely clawed 

to a 7-5 lead six minutes into 

the game. But after Barry hit a 

3-pointer down the stretch for 

the Spartans, St. Mary’s led 8-7 

after one quarter. 

The second quarter is 

where things started tilting 

the Spartans’ way. After not 

scoring a point in the first 

quarter, Brown exploded for 10 

second-quarter points to help 

the Spartans race out to a double-digit 

lead. By the time the 

halftime buzzer sounded, St. 

Mary’s held a 30-19 lead. 

Things didn’t change much 

from there, as the Spartans 

began to heat up from behind 

the arc in the third quarter and 

stretched their lead even further. 

St. Mary’s led by 15 points at 

the end of the third quarter and 

stretched its lead to as many as 

21 points before eventually settling 

for the 19-point victory. 

In the end, depth certainly 

played into the Spartans’ hands. 

added one goal. Cam Umlah 

scored his first career goal, 

while Ben McGilvry and Jake 

Vana each scored one goal. 

Theo Vetere had one assist in 

the victory. 

St. John’s Prep (7-1-0) travels 

to Reading Thursday (7:45). 

St. Mary’s played eight players 

for more than 10 minutes 

each, while Fenwick’s top-five 

players rarely came out of the 

game. 

“We love the fact that we can 

go seven or eight guys deep 

every night and not have much 

of a drop off,” said Brown. “It’s 

part of what helps our defense 

be so effective, because we always 

have fresh bodies coming 

in.” 

“The thing about St. Mary’s 

is that they never let up and they 

come at you all game long,” 

said Moran. “Our guys played 

a lot of minutes because our 

bench was a little thin, and St. 

Mary’s just keeps wearing you

“We know that that’s going 

to be another tough one, but 

that’s what you love about this 

league,” said Moran. “Every 

night you’re tested to your 

limits with the kind of talent we 

have in the CCL, and that’s only 

going to make us better.”

A Healthy Lynnfield presents 

new Healthy Conversation 


A Healthy Lynnfield presents 

a hybrid workshop for parents 

and caregivers titled, “Don’t 

Feed the Worry Bug: Helping 

Kids Manage Their Anxieties.” 

The session, part four in the 

Healthy Conversations, Healthy 

Kids series, will be held 

Wednesday, Feb. 2, starting at 

6:30 p.m. Attendees will have 

the option of being with the 

speaker at the Al Merit Media 

Center at 600 Market Street, 

second floor, or join by Zoom. 

Heather Day, MA, LMHC, a 

clinical supervisor and outpatient 

clinician at Riverside 

Community Care, will lead 

the discussion about childhood 

anxiety. Day will cover how 

anxiety manifests in children 

of different ages, how and why 

staying healthy is important (for 

both caregivers and children), 

and tips to help work with your 

children so they can learn to 

better recognize and manage 

their own anxiety. Workshop 

attendees will discuss how to 

best respond to three case scenarios 

and get practical information 

to implement at home. 

Registration is required for this 

free program. To register please
