The gray skies and cool weather 

did little to dampen the spirits of the 

Lynnfield High School Class of 2022 

at their commencement ceremony 

Thursday night, as the 140 graduates, 

who wore blue and white robes, were 

all smiles. 

The ceremony, which lasted just 

about an hour, was held on the high 

school’s football field, where the score 

on the scoreboard showed 20 for the 

home team and 22 for the away team. 

The scoreboard clock was set to 20 

minutes and 22 seconds. 

Graduates sat in rows on either side 

of the stage, with faculty seated behind 

them. The majority of female graduates 

wore white caps and gowns while the 

most of their male counterparts were 

clad in navy blue. 

The ceremony began with remarks 

from the Student Council President, 

Lauren Grava, who reflected on the 

rapid speed at which it felt like the 

class’s high school experience went by.

Blossoming into Tree City USA 

By Anne Marie Tobin 

The town has been named a Tree 

City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation 

to honor its commitment to effective 

urban forest management, marking 

more than 10 years of this special designation 

for Lynnfield. 

Lynnfield achieved Tree City USA 

recognition by meeting the program’s 

four requirements: forming a tree board 

or department, creating a tree-care ordinance, 

having an annual community 

forestry budget of at least $2 per capita, 

and having an Arbor Day observance 

and proclamation. 

The Tree City USA program is sponsored 

by the Arbor Day Foundation 

in partnership with the U.S. Forest 

Service and the National Association of 

State Foresters. 

“Tree City USA communities benefit 

from the positive effects that an 

urban tree canopy has year after year,” 

said Dan Lambe, chief executive of the 

Arbor Day Foundation. “The trees being 

planted and cared for by Lynnfield ensure 

that generations to come will enjoy 

a better quality of life. Additionally, 

participation in this program helps cultivate 

a sense of stewardship and pride 

for the trees the community plants and 

cares for.” 

Planting trees in an urban space 

comes with a myriad of benefits past 

the recognition of this program. Urban 

tree plantings help reduce energy consumption 

by up to 25 percent, which 

will reduce general energy costs and 

help with the overall cooling of the city 

as well. 

Big Apple 

bounty 

for band, 

chorus 

For the Weekly News 

By Leah Ritchie 

The high school band and chorus 

boarded a bus and hit the road for the 

first time for a two-day whirlwind tour 

of The Big Apple included a vocal and 

dance master class taught by Broadway 

producers, a private tour of Radio City 

Music Hall, a virtual flight over the five 

boroughs, a visit to the Statue of Liberty, 

and a chance to see the hit Broadway musical, 

Beetlejuice. 

LHS Director of Choral Activities, 

Doug Hodgkins, did not have much hope 

for a trip this year after plans to take students 

to Nashville were canceled due to 

COVID-19 concerns, but when cases 

began dropping in early spring, Hodgkins 

acted quickly to find an alternate destination 

that could be booked on short notice. 

“New York City was an obvious choice 

given the amount of time that we had 

to prepare, and New York is a cultural 

hub that it is easily accessible by bus,” 

Hodgkins said.

This year, the high school’s 

new Environmental Awareness 

Club celebrated Arbor Day 

by planting 16 new trees near 

the entrance to the teachers’ 

parking lot. Approximately 20 

members of the club rolled up 

their sleeves and successfully 

completed the project, which 

club members say is only the 

first of many the club plans to 

undertake. 

Club leaders Georgia Milne 

and Jordan Lavey said the 

project has been in the making 

for nearly a year. 

“I just got fed up with people 

not doing anything, there’s been 

too much talk and not enough 

action,” said Lavey, who plans 

to major in environmental science 

at Virginia Tech. “Georgia 

and I came up with this idea 

last August. We had to take action 

and thought this would be 

a really nice way to help the 

community, to make a tangible 

difference.” 

“It feels great that this is all 

coming together and people are 

just as excited as we are,” said 

Milne, who plans to study politics 

at St. Anselm College this 

fall. “We are just trying to be 

kind to the planet and use our 

voices and actions for kindness. 

The greatest thing you can do is 

plant trees.” 

Club Advisor and Science 

Department Chair Scott Gordon 

said the club will continue to 

plant more trees at the high 

school, citing the many benefits 

that come from trees. 

“The students realized that 

a very large amount of trees 

WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 781-593-7700 JUNE 9, 2022 

have been removed on campus 

and around the campus over 

the last decade,” he said. “They 

didn’t talk about planting trees; 

they did it. We will benefit 

from these trees for teaching 

purposes, their positive effect 

on local ecology and the sheer 

beauty they provide for students 

and staff who may want 

to spend a few minutes of mindfulness 

sitting among them.” 

The Arbor Day Foundation 

says that other benefits associated 

with trees include increased 

property values from as 

low as seven percent to a high 

of 20 percent. Trees also positively 

affect the local ecosystem 

by helping to clean water and 

create animal habitats to encourage 

biodiversity.

City USA program is available

GRADUATION 

From page 1 

“I wish I listened when 

people told me high school 

would fly by,” she said. “I never 

believed them until now. That 

distant dream of graduation has 

become a reality.” 

“Today we close a chapter of 

our lives, one full of memories 

and experiences we will cherish 

forever. Yet, this is the beginning 

of the rest of our lives,” 

Grava told her classmates. 

Grava also spoke of the ways 

in which the COVID-19 pandemic 

disrupted her class’s four 

years at Lynnfield High, their 

sophomore year suddenly interrupted 

and their junior year 

defined by masks and remote 

learning. 

“No matter what we were 

faced with in high school we always 

persevered and made the 

best of our time … our experiences 

brought us together and 

we had to deal with so much 

more than we could’ve imagined,” 

she said. 

“Now that we’re back in 

school and everything is back 

to normal, we learn to appreciate 

what we have and never 

take anything for granted. … 

Through the years we became 

role models for the school, 

leading by example because of 

what we’ve been through.” 

The school’s principal, Robert 

Cleary, encouraged graduates 

to use their experience navigating 

not just a pandemic but 

also the death of a classmate, 

Patrick Gary Moroney, who 

died suddenly before the start 

of the 2021-22 school year, to 

remember that time will always 

move forward. 

“They have learned a valuable 

lesson of perseverance. 

They have also learned that 

time moves on, time really 

doesn’t care about pandemics 

or masks … or remote learning. 

Time just keeps winding on and 

you can either watch it go by or 

jump in and get to work,” he 

said. 

“Well, this class chose to 

jump in and get to work. And 

through it all, they have persevered 

and they have been successful. 

And because of that, I 

am confident they will continue 

to be successful in whatever

they choose to do in the future.” 

Cleary’s remarks were followed 

by Class Valedictorian 

Lauren Lim and Senior Class 

President Caitlin McCormack. 

Lim began her speech with an 

unattributed quote — “I raised 

my everlasting glory on the 

palms of my hands” — and she 

encouraged the rest of her class 

to do so. 

“Write your everlasting 

words, whatever they may be, 

read the ones you already wrote 

and keep going. Write everlasting 

words … that care for 

the ones who have been discarded 

for so long,” she told her 

classmates. 

“Write something everlasting. 

I want to read the palms 

of my hands and see that the 

etchings of my life have created 

a beautiful piece of art. Pieces 

of art that I show to the world 

on concrete slabs, not to reach 

fame or renown but because I 

am proud of it.” 

In her remarks, McCormack 

told her classmates to remember 

the highlights of their 

time together — pep rallies, 

concerts, proms, and at Friday 

evening’s commencement — 

and to not let the negative experiences 

define their four years at 

Lynnfield High. 

“With a time defined by uncertainty 

and loss, it is easy to 

get caught up with a negative 

attitude towards this period in 

our lives, but it is up to us to 

change the narrative, and walk 

away from this time embracing 

its best moments,” she said. 

“As we move forward, always 

remember this place that we 

have come from, the kindness 

we showed it, and the kindness 

it has shown us.” 

Just before graduates received 

their diplomas, Superintendent 

of Schools Kristen Vogel offered 

three wishes for the class. 

“I wish that you believe in 

yourselves. Celebrate what 

makes you unique and special, 

learn from and embrace the differences 

you have from others,” 

Vogel told the graduates. “I 

wish that you all find joy, peace, 

and a sense of belonging wherever 

you go. I wish you knowledge 

and wisdom to guide you.” 

Vogel’s final wish for the 

graduates was that they strive to 

make a difference in the world. 

“Together I wish that all the 

world has to offer. I wish that 

you, as you go out into the 

world, that you think of the 

greater common good instead 

of individual gratification.” 

Then, finally, the graduates 

took their place in line 

and walked across the stage 

to claim their diplomas. When 

Moroney’s name was called, a 

faculty member accepted the 

diploma on his behalf, and one 

student stood up from his seat 

holding a picture of Moroney 

and crossed himself before 

pointing at the sky and sitting 

back down, in what was the 

only somber moment in an otherwise 

joyous celebration.

TRIP 

From page 1 

According to Hodgkins, field 

experiences are important because 

in addition to the educational 

purpose they serve, they 

give music students the chance 

to create social bonds and friendships 

that come across unmistakably 

when they are singing or 

playing together in a concert or 

acting on stage. 

Travel was especially important 

this year because COVID 

diminished many social opportunities 

typically available to 

students, “We wanted to give the 

kids the bonding and growing 

together opportunity that has 

been lacking as a major aspect 

of the music department experience,” 

Hodgkins explained. 

Music students echoed 

Hodgkins’ comments, putting 

social time at the top of their list 

of trip favorites. 

“One of the best parts honestly 

was the 4.5 hour bus ride when I 

was able to make stronger connections 

with all of my friends 

and just have an overall fun 

time,” remarked junior, Sophia 

Faro. 

In addition to enjoying each 

other’s company, the Broadway 

musical, Beetlejuice was another 

New York City highlight. 

Students were especially impressed 

by the musical score, 

elaborate set design, and the 

show’s irreverent themes. LHS 

junior, Charlie Beatrice noted, 

“The music was on point. It was 

so well-played that at first, I 

thought it was pre-recorded. 

Also, Alex Brightman (the 

lead actor), fit the character of 

Beetlejuice so well, giving off 

the perfect vibe of ‘evil insanity’ 

while cracking clever jokes 

throughout the show,” Beatrice 

noted. 

Another memorable experience 

was the vocal and 

dance master class, “Living the 

Music,” taught by Broadway 

producers, Michael Watson and 

Michael Dansiker. During the 

class, students were challenged 

to interpret the meaning of lyrics 

through song and dance. 

Harry Wagg, LHS Director 

of Instrumental Activities 

commented. 

“For the instrumental students, 

singing and learning 

choreography probably felt like 

a big departure from the safety

and comfort of being behind an 

instrument, but to be successful 

in any aspect of music, taking 

chances and being uncomfortable 

is a necessity. It can be scary 

at times, but it creates a uniquely 

close-knit and trusting environment. 

Workshops like this really 

strengthen those aspects of the 

students’ relationships with one 

another,” Wagg said. 

Sophomore Madison Danese 

also found the workshop valuable; 

“I think the best part was 

getting to be outside of my comfort 

zone a little and seeing how 

fast we picked up the music 

while working with professionals,” 

she said. 

Conversations have already 

turned to next year’s trip, which 

if all goes well, will land students 

and faculty in the heart of 

country music: Nashville, TN. 

“There is so much happening 

in Nashville, and the amount of 

Music History and talent there 

is incredible, Hodgkins said.” 

If the trip is approved, students 

will be able to perform at Ryman 

Auditorium, home of the Grand 

Ole Opry, and make a recording 

of their music at the famous 

RCA Studio B.

JORDAN HEGEDUS 

Why Not Think Like An Economist? 

Editor’s note: This is sponsored content provided to the Weekly News by the author. 

“Money Magic” by Laurence 

J. Kotlikoff, Boston University 

economics professor, caught 

me! I started off reading the 

last chapter titled “Making Your 

Own Money Magic-My Top 

Fifty Secrets.” 

After the list was this: “If, 

like me, you’re always short on 

time, you surely headed straight 

to this closing chapter to get 

these fifty bottom lines.” As I 

stated, he caught me, but now I 

was wondering what crazy logic 

he was using to suggest things 

like: “Choose careers and jobs 

that everyone but you hates” and 

“The richer you are, the less you 

should invest in stocks.” 

Starting this book I wondered 

if I’d have to wade through a 

bunch of economic formulas. 

That wasn’t the case, although 

there are a few, and at times, 

I wondered if Kotlikoff’s purpose 

was to direct the reader 

to his consulting firm to number-crunch 

your problems. 

The book’s main purpose is 

to help you maximize your finances 

without having to make 

crazy investment decisions. 

Some of the areas analyzed 

include: Social Security – Like 

others, Kotlikoff recommends 

waiting until age 70 to start 

taking it, but what if you took it 

early. Can you fix it? Don’t trust 

the first Social Security office 

you approach! 

Homes and mortgages – 

Should you keep your home 

when it’s an empty nest? What 

if you don’t want to move? Is 

it good to save it for your kids? 

When should you pay off your 

mortgage? 

Careers – What’s a cheap way 

to find the career you’ll enjoy 

and will maximize pay? 

Divorce – When you marry, 

count on getting divorced! The 

first step in getting divorced is to 

decide if it’s worth it in terms of 

reduced standard of living. 

College Education – It’s both 

costly and risky. How to analyze 

the best college to attend (it’s not 

by national rankings) and get the 

best financial aid. 

Inflation and Investing – How 

to determine your purpose for 

investing and improve your 

living standard with less risk. 

Conservative investments that 

keep up with whatever the inflation 

rate is. Not many investment 

firms were recommending TIPS 

(treasury inflation protected securities) 

and I-Bonds last year. 

“Money Magic” will certainly 

help you analyze your life in 

terms of spending and investing.

Kotlikoff’s ideas, go to his website

PMLP Science Fair awards ceremony is June 9 

For the weekly news 

On Thursday, June 9, 2022, 

the Peabody Municipal Light 

Plant will host the 36th Annual 

PMLP Science Fair Awards 

Ceremony at the Peabody 

Veterans Memorial High School 

at 7 p.m. 

During the month of May, all 

fourth grade students attending 

public schools in Peabody 

participated in the PMLP 

Science Fair. Group projects 

were judged by light plant employees, 

and the student teams 

were awarded ribbons for 

first place, second place, third 

place, and honorable mention. 

Students also presented their 

projects to parents and classmates 

in other grades. 

At the awards ceremony, 

winners from all eight elementary 

schools will be presented 

a plaque from PMLP, citations 

from the Mayor of Peabody, 

Edward A. Bettencourt, Jr.; state 

Sen. Joan B. Lovely (2nd Essex 

District); State Rep. Thomas 

P. Walsh (12th Essex District); 

State Rep. Sally P. Kerans (13th 

Essex District), and a congratulatory 

letter from U.S. Rep. 

Seth Moulton. 

First place, second place, and 

third place winners will also 

receive a Barnes & Noble gift 

card courtesy of PMLP. 

After the event, pastries 

prepared by the high school 

culinary department will be 

available. 

The science fair is supported 

by the Peabody Municipal 

Lighting Commission, and 

would not be possible without 

the support of all the teachers 

and administrators of the 

Peabody Elementary Schools. 

“The science fair can be the 

catalyst for a student to consider 

a career in STEM. They 

discover the importance of 

research, experimentation, 

tracking results, and presenting 

their findings. We’ve been 

lucky to hire many science fair 

graduates at PMLP,” said PMLP 

Commission Chairman William 

Alyward.

Plant is the community owned, 

not-for-profit utility company

and South Lynnfield.

Reedy Meadow 

celebrates 60th 

anniversary of 

National Landmarks 


The Lynnfield Conservation 

Commission is joining the 60- 

year anniversary celebration of 

the National Natural Landmark 

Program (NNL) with its landmark 

– the formerly-named 

Lynnfield Marsh, now known 

as Reedy Meadow. 

Covering an area of 540 

acres, Reedy Meadow is the 

largest freshwater cattail marsh 

in Massachusetts and is one of 

only NNL 11 sites in the state. It 

is home to a number of endangered 

and rare plant and migratory 

species. 

It provides habitat for numerous 

rare birds, reptiles and 

amphibians. Each year Reedy 

Meadow attracts thousands of 

hikers, bird watchers, school 

groups and others who enjoy 

the peaceful surroundings and 

its native plant and animal species. 

It also acts as a natural 

reservoir that supplies drinking 

water for the City of Lynn. 

According to the Massachusetts 

Audubon Society, This site historically 

contained some of the 

largest breeding populations of 

marsh birds in Massachusetts, 

including five state-listed species. 

“It is remarkable that 

Lynnfield is home to one of 

only 11 unique natural landmarks 

in Massachusetts, and 

it works hard to earn this distinction,” 

notes Planning and 

Conservation Director Emilie 

Cademartori. “Besides it being 

540 acres of natural marsh 

beauty, it performs critical work 

as habitat for numerous aquatic 

and land and bird species.” 

PMLP Hosts Energy 

Awareness Forum 


The Peabody Municipal 

Light Plant (PMLP) will host 

its Second Energy Awareness 

Forum at 201 Warren St. 

Extension on Tuesday, June 21 

at 6 p.m. 

PMLP Manager, Joseph 

Anastasi, will present an overview 

of PMLP’s activities in 

the community, and provide 

insights on the electric industry. 

Ratepayers are also welcomed 

Cademartori said that a migratory 

bird monitoring receiver 

was installed in Reedy 

Meadow in 2021. That installation 

allowed Reedy Meadow to 

become part of an international 

program to study migratory bird 

routes from the Hudson Bay 

in Canada to Columbia South 

America. 

A portion of Reedy Meadow 

is located in Wakefield. The 

majority of the Lynnfield portion 

of the meadow is owned by 

the Conservation Commission. 

The U. S. Department of the 

Interior designated Reedy 

Meadow as a National Natural 

Landmark. 

It is the major water retention 

area for the Saugus River 

Watershed, as well as a natural 

wildlife refuge. Pillings Pond 

drains into the meadow. 

The best access to the 

meadow in Lynnfield is traveling 

along the old railroad bed 

at Summer Street by St. Paul’s 

Church. 

The National Natural 

Landmarks Program recognizes 

and encourages the conservation 

of sites that contain 

outstanding biological and geological 

resources. Sites are designated 

by the U.S. Secretary of 

the Interior for their condition, 

rarity, diversity, and value to 

science and education. The site 

must be one of the “best” examples 

of a type of biological community 

or geological feature in 

its bio-physiographic province. 

The NNL program is managed 

by the National Park 

Service and includes 602 sites 

nationwide. 

to ask questions. 

As the new manager at 

PMLP, Anastasi introduced 

these quarterly forums with a 

kick-off meeting in March. For 

those who cannot make an evening 

meeting, the September 

meeting will be held in the 

morning. 

PMLP is the community 

owned, not-for-profit utility 

company serving the residents 

of Peabody and South 

Lynnfield.

Kirk P. Mansfield is the new director of corporate and community relations at North Shore 

Music Theatre. 

Historical Commission chair 

joins North Shore Music Theater 

By Allysha Dunnigan 

Historical Commission Chair 

Kirk Mansfield has joined the 

team at the North Shore Music 

Theatre as the director of corporate 

and community relations. 

With a background working 

in hospitality and event planning, 

Mansfield was offered the 

position by the theater’s general 

manager, Karen Nascembeni, 

whom he knows from the 

Historical Commission. 

After Nascembeni’s husband, 

Steve, died from COVID-19, 

Mansfield wanted to have the 

commission name one of the 

historic centers after his family. 

“She (Karen) saw all of the 

work that I put into it and everything 

that battled with it and 

kind of said ‘wow, I need you to 

come work for me,’” Mansfield 

said. 

Mansfield spent the last 18 

years working in Boston, but 

said he is very excited about 

this position and loves it so far 

because it is great to be closer 

to home and do something 

different. 

“My job now is about going 

out there and pulling business 

in and making sure that the 

business that is there is happy,” 

Mansfield said. “It’s a lot of 

networking, which is right up 

my alley.” 

Mansfield spent the past 10 

years working at the Back Bay 

Event Center on a variety of 

events, a lot of those being film 

companies working in the state. 

While he said he really enjoyed 

his previous position, the 

pandemic closed it down for 

nearly two years. 

“I went into the corporate office 

and there really wasn’t a lot 

for me to do and I wasn’t really 

being challenged in any sort of 

way,” he said. “When Karen 

came to me and said she wants 

me to take this position because 

she needs somebody like me to 

go out there and network and 

keep the theatre’s name out 

there and pull business in, that 

was a good challenge for me.” 

Nascembeni said she is 

thrilled to have brought 

Mansfield on board at North 

Shore Music Theatre (NSMT). 

“His broad experience in 

contracting theater and event 

rentals, working with films 

shooting in the Boston area, 

as well as his many years as a 

regional manager in the hospitality 

industry makes Kirk a 

valuable asset to our organization,” 

Nascembeni said. 

Nascembeni said Mansfield 

already has an excellent reputation 

with the theatre’s mutual 

partners in the tourism industry 

and, having worked with him 

on events at a community level, 

she’s seen how hard he works 

and how driven he is. 

“His commitment to his volunteer 

work with several diverse 

charities in the area is on 

point with the mission of the 

charitable work NSMT is involved 

with,” she said. “I can 

already see what a perfect fit 

Kirk is going to be within our 

corporate culture.”

Patricia A. (Geary) Moore, 87 

1935 - 2022 

LYNNFIELD - Patricia A. (Geary) 

Moore, 87, of Lynnfield, Massachusetts, 

passed away on June 1 

after a period of declining health. 

She was the beloved wife of James 

H. Moore (Jim), with whom she 

would have celebrated their 65th 

wedding anniversary this summer. 

Patricia was born in Lynn, Massachusetts 

on March 27, 1935. 

She was the daughter of the late 

Francis P. and Ella L. (Mahoney) 

Geary. She was raised and educated 

in Lynn, having attended 

Sacred Heart Elementary School 

and graduating from Lynn Classical 

High School in 1952. Following 

high school, Patricia attended 

Chandler Secretarial School. She 

then went on to earn her Associate’s 

Degree from North Shore 

Community College in 1978, and 

she graduated Cum Laude from 

UMass Boston with a Bachelor of 

Arts in 1980. 

Patricia, alongside her husband, 

designed and built their house 

in Lynnfield in 1967, where they 

raised their family and spent 55 

wonderful years. Before starting 

her family, Patricia took on administrative 

roles at General Electric 

and Morris Gordon Law Firm; and 

while raising her family, Patricia 

worked alongside her husband at 

his advertising typography firm, Typographic 

House in South Boston, 

helping serve the firm’s corporate 

clients throughout the U.S.. Most 

recently, she served as the administrative 

manager for the North 

Shore Women in Business Association. 

Patricia and Jim knew how to 

keep busy. They loved to travel 

all over the world, touching down 

in over thirty countries across five 

continents; and they were avid skiers, 

spending countless weekends 

at their ski home in North Conway, 

New Hampshire, and riding chairs 

lifts and gondolas at ski resorts 

across the U.S. and Europe. They 

were avid jazz fans as well, traveling 

throughout Massachusetts 

and New England in pursuit of top 

jazz performances. 

Playing tennis, playing bridge, 

and family were among Patricia’s 

other passions. Up until the last 

couple years of her life, she could 

be found on the tennis court four 

times a week. When off the court, 

she could be found sitting down at 

the most competitive Bridge tables 

across the US accumulating and 

adding to her Master Point totals, 

or running around with her grandchildren 

who learned to live by the 

motto “what happens at Nana’s 

stays at Nana’s”. Needless to say, 

she was always on the go.

Lynnfield races to victory over Bishop Fenwick 

BOYS LACROSSE 

By Mike Alongi 

LYNNFIELD — The 

Lynnfield boys lacrosse team 

put an exclamation mark on 

its regular season Wednesday 

afternoon, rolling to a 15-5 

win over Bishop Fenwick in a 

non-conference bout at Pioneer 

Stadium. 

The star of the day for the 

pioneers was junior Jack 

Calichman, who had three 

goals and five assists and broke 

the school’s single season 

scoring record in the process. 

Calichman now has 104 points 

this year. 

“He’s a blue line to blue line 

player, and he’s the engine that 

makes our offense go,” said 

Lynnfield coach Pat Lamusta. 

“He’s got the talent, he’s got 

the leadership qualities and 

he’s just an all-around great 

player for us. We’re incredibly 

lucky to have him.” 

Drew Damiani had six goals 

and two assists to propel the 

Pioneers’ offensive attack, 

while Will Steadman had two 

goals and two assists. Mike 

Murphy scored two goals, Will 

Norton had one goal and one 

assist and Janssen Sperling 

scored one goal. Mark 

Sweeney notched one assist. 

For Fenwick, Kevin Wood 

led the way with one goal and 

two assists. Brady McClung, 

Anthony Sasso, Jake Westin 

and Nathaniel Ricciuti each 

scored one goal, while Manny 

Alvarez-Segee notched two 

assists. 

“Our offense just didn’t come 

through for us,” said Fenwick 

coach Dave MacKenzie. “We 

need to play smarter out there. 

We have these lapses where we 

lose focus and it kills us every 

time. We’ve got to clean that 

stuff up.” 

Lynnfield got the scoring 

started early, notching a goal 

from Damiani just 33 seconds 

into the game. Fenwick responded 

back with goals from 

Wood and Westin to take a 2-1 

lead, but Lynnfield answered 

back and went on a four-goal 

run over the final 3:23 of the 

first quarter to take a 5-2 lead. 

The last of those four goals 

— an unassisted tally from 

Calichman — gave the junior 

his 100th point of the season. 

The Pioneers really broke 

things open in the second 

quarter, as two more goals from 

Calichman and one goal each 

from Damiani and Sperling 

stretched the lead out to 9-2. 

Only a goal from McClung 

with 37 seconds left in the half 

broke the streak, and the score 

stood at 9-3 Pioneers at the

Lynnfield’s Jack Calichman had three goals and five assists in a win over Bishop Fenwick on June 1, breaking the Pioneers’ 

single-season scoring record in the process. 

halftime break. 

Lynnfield never allowed the 

Crusaders to get close after 

that, scoring the first three 

goals of the third quarter to 

take a commanding 12-3 lead. 

Fenwick once again scored at 

the end of the quarter to stop 

the streak, but the Pioneers 

were able to score a few more 

goals and run out the clock to 

take home the victory. 

Bishop Fenwick wraps up 

the regular season at 8-10 and 

ended up earning the No. 28 

seed in the Div. 3 state tournament. 

The Crusaders were able 

to earn a home game due to the 

seeding, and they knocked off 

No. 37 Southeastern by a score 

of 15-0 in the preliminary 

round. Fenwick then went on 

the road to No. 5 Foxborough 

for the Round of 32, but the results 

came in too late to print. 

“If we’re going to go anywhere, 

provided we do make 

the tournament, we’re going 

to have to improve the 6-inch 

space between the years,” said 

MacKenzie. “If we can keep 

our focus, we have the talent 

to compete against all of these 

other teams. But the question 

for us is which team is going 

to show up.” 

Lynnfield closes the regular 

season at 14-4 and has earned 

the No. 6 seed in the upcoming 

Div. 4 state tournament. The 

Pioneers hosted No. 27 Tri- 

County Regional Tuesday 

night, but the results came in 

too late to print. 

“We’ve been trying to hold 

ourselves to a really high standard 

no matter what the score 

is each game,” said Lamusta. 

“It’s all about keeping our 

composure, taking it one 

quarter at a time and continuing 

to play the way we’ve 

been playing. There are a lot 

of great teams in the division 

IV bracket, and it’s going to 

be interesting to see how it 

shakes out. But we’re excited, 

we’re enthusiastic and we’re 

confident as we head into the 

tournament.”

SOFTBALL 


The Lynnfield softball team 

saw every one of its starters 

notch at least one hit Sunday 

morning as the Pioneers rolled 

to an 18-0 victory in five innings 

over Boston English in 

the Division 4 tournament preliminary 

round. 

Morgan Hubbard (4-for-4), 

Kaila George (3-for-4) and 

Maddie Condon (2-for-4) each 

had three RBI to propel the 

Pioneers to the blowout victory 

in the opening round. 

Catie Kampersal (2-for-3) 

and Ava Gamache (2-for-4) 

each had two RBI in the victory, 

while Ava Marotta (3-for-3, 

home run) and Celia Carbone 

(2-for-3) each had one RBI. 

Abi Travers (2-for-4) also had a 

multi-hit game for the Pioneers, 

while pitcher Sophia Brown allowed 

just two hits and struck 

out seven batters in a complete-game 

effort in the circle. 

Lynnfield (7-14) will 

now move on to face No. 3 

Wahconah on the road in the 

Div. 4 Round of 32.

GIRLS TENNIS 


LYNNFIELD — It’s a good 

thing the Lynnfield girls tennis 

team started its Division 4 tournament 

Round of 32 match 

against No. 30 Advanced Math 

& Science Academy at 1:30 

p.m. instead of the originally 

scheduled 4 p.m. Monday afternoon, 

as the No. 3 Pioneers 

needed more than four-and-ahalf 

hours to squeeze out a 3-2 

victory over the defending Div. 

3 state champions in a thrilling 

match at Lynnfield Middle 

School. 

“What an exciting, thrilling 

match,” said Lynnfield coach 

Craig Stone. “Not only was it 

great competition among all 

the girls, but matches like this 

are simply great for the sport. 

There’s nothing like some exciting, 

back-and-forth tennis.” 

And back-and-forth it was. 

Things started out normal 

enough, with Pioneers third 

singles player Genna Gioioso 

winning her match (6-1, 6-0) 

and the doubles team of Sarah 

Breslow and Leticia Marafon 

taking its match (6-1, 6-4) to 

get off the courts quickly. The 

doubles team of Maddie Sieve 

and Lauren Grava struggled to 

a 4-6, 1-6 loss, putting the score 

at 2-1 Pioneers. 

Then came the battles. 

In second singles, Anna 

Radulski battled through a 

back-and-forth match that saw 

her drop the first set 5-7 before 

rallying back to win the second 

set 6-3. She fought hard in the 

third set as well, but eventually 

came up short and dropped the 

match with a 4-6 set loss. 

On the other court, first singles 

player Paige Martino — a 

freshman — was in a battle of 

her own. She struggled out of 

the gate, dropping the opening 

set 2-6 before falling behind 4-5 

in the second set. But she rallied 

from there, tying things at 5-5 

and then battling back from a 

5-6 deficit to win the second set 

in an 8-6 thriller. She took that 

momentum right into the third 

set and jumped ahead 2-0, but 

she lost that momentum when 

she dropped the next four sets in 

a row. But she steadied the ship 

from there, winning the next 

four sets in a row to take the set 

6-4, win the match and send the 

Pioneers off to the next round of 

the tournament. 

“She may only be a freshman, 

but she has a ton of big-match 

experience and a lot of great 

training for moments like this,” 

Stone said of Martino. “She 

really kept her composure out 

there and it was impressive to 

watch.” 

Lynnfield (14-5) will now 

move on to the Div. 4 Round 

of 16, where the Pioneers will 

face a familiar foe in No. 14 

Rockport Thursday afternoon 

(4) back at Lynnfield Middle 

School. 

“We’ve played them once this 

year and got a 4-1 win, so we 

have that to look back on,” said 

Stone. “But we know that they 

absolutely have the ability to 

score three points on us, so we 

know we need to come into the 

match prepared for anything.” 






JUNE 9, 2022 


LYNNFIELD — It’s been a stellar 

season for the Lynnfield boys tennis team, 

and that fact was emphasized even more 

on Tuesday when the Cape Ann League 

announced its list of all-stars and awards. 

Seven Lynnfield tennis players — all 

three singles starters and both doubles 

teams — have been named CAL All- 

Stars for their efforts this season, while 

Pioneers head coach Joe Dunn has been 

named the CAL Coach of the Year. 

Leading off the list of singles all-stars 

for Lynnfield was Harrison Luba, who 

has been a stalwart at the No. 1 spot all 

season long. Dan Levin was named an 

all-star in second singles for the Pioneers, 

while Shea McCarthy was named an allstar 

in third singles. 

In doubles play, the team of David 

Kasdon and Rafik Khodr earned all-star 

honors in first doubles and the team of 

Russell Kasdon and Jason Yang were 

named all-stars in second doubles. 

Lynnfield went 15-1 during the regular 

season, won the CAL title and currently 

holds the No. 2 spot in the MIAA’s 

Division 4 boys tennis rankings. The 

Pioneers will compete in the upcoming 

Div. 4 state tournament as a high seed. 

Other CAL boys tennis all-stars included 

Player of the Year John Pope 

(Manchester-Essex) and the doubles 

team of Stefan Messer and Sam Coues 

(Hamilton-Wenham). Pentucket was 

given the Sportsmanship Award.

An effective peak capacity generator for Peabody 

Editor’s Note: The proposed plant, known as Project 2015A, will be operated by the Peabody Municipal Light Plant, 

which provides electricity to the City of Peabody and parts of Lynnfield. 


By Dr. Rob Moir 

PEABODY - A small armada 

of kayaks and canoe paddled 

while peak capacity generator 

protestors stood on the Water 

Street Bridge waving signs at 

passing traffic in late May. 

I was appointed sweeper at 

the stern of a canoe following 

the paddlers. We launched the 

boats into the Porter River at 

Pope’s Landing and at Sandy 

Beach, a snowy egret took 

flight while we made our way. 

A southwest breeze up the 

Danvers River buffeted the 

boats. Rounding into the Waters 

River, we were pushed under 

the front of a large docked boat 

that loomed over us. 

We paddled hard against 

wind and tide to clear the boat. 

Suddenly, the water seemed 

flat, with the wind at our backs, 

and the bridge ahead us. We 

encountered an abundance of 

energy in the salty river and 

the tide, where high water was 

about nine feet higher than low 

water. 

A short stroll up Pulaski 

Street past O’Brien’s Garden 

or a short paddle up the Waters 

River is where a peak capacity 

generator is to be built. 

The 55-megawatt generator 

is necessary to meet the surge 

capacity energy needs of 14 

power plants. At issue is not the 

generator but rather the burning 

of fossil fuels to power it. 

The use of fossil fuels violates 

the law of the Climate Change 

Next Generation Roadmap. The 

peak capacity generator would 

only operate as needed, about 

239 hours a year. 

That’s about 3 percent of the 

time, primarily during extreme 

weather events. Firing up gas 

turbines to run during a hurricane 

is not the best time to burn 

fossil fuels. 

One option is to install a 

lithium-ion battery-powered 

peak capacity generator. A 

300-megawatt peak capacity 

generator was built at Moss 

Landing in California and has 

been so successful that three 

nearby fossil-fuel power peak 

capacity generators have been 

closed down. 

Fortunately, the Peabody peak 

capacity generator needs only 

produce 55-megawatts, about 

one-sixth of the California lithium-ion 

leviathan. 

Alternatives to fossil fuels 

and expensive batteries include 

hydro systems, gravity-based 

impulse turbines, compressed 

air and flow batteries with 

pumped hydro being the most 

common. 

The Peabody peak capacity 

generator needs much less electricity 

than that. It is not the 

height of fall but simply the flow 

that turns turbines to provide the 

power. A cistern of water need 

not be very high or a catchment 

basin collecting rainwater with 

a backup pump to the Waters 

River would suffice. The pump 

could operate with tidal power 

as this is essentially a trickle 

charge. A water basin could become 

an attractive amenity with 

plantings around the perimeter 

by O’Brien Gardens with a cafe 

along the shore and ice skating 

in the winter. 

By not being a gas-powered 

hunk of a utility building, the 

Peabody peak capacity generator 

is spared the expense of 

rising fuel costs and the budgeting 

difficulty of not knowing 

future costs. 

A hydro-powered peak capacity 

generator will operate for 

more decades than the 50-year 

life span of a fossil fuel powered 

utility and, like the reservoirs 

that populate our landscape, 

become a social amenity 

for Peabody.
