12 By Steve Krause The annual District 16 Little League All-Star tournament — also known as the Williamsport Tournament — will begin Friday night at Peabody West’s Cy Tenney Park with Pine Hill playing against East Lynn. There are some changes this year, and they involve the Lynn Little League system. Once seven strong, Lynn’s Little Leagues are down to four: East Lynn, West Lynn, Wyoma and Pine Hill. Over the years, charters for both Lynn Central, which was located in the city’s Highlands; and West Lynn National had their charters revoked. The Nats played at Barry Park, which is now the home of the West Lynn league. WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 781-593-7700 JUNE 23, 2022 District 16 Little League tournament opens Friday YOUTH BASEBALL East Lynn, which plays on Alice O’Neil Field behind Lynn English, merged with Lynn Shore prior to the start of the season. Pine Hill and Wyoma remain the same, “but once the two leagues merged, I changed the boundaries a little bit to create more balance,” said district administrator Joe Baglieri. Other changes over the last two years are that Saugus is officially one league. Initially, said Baglieri, the two leagues remained in place, but with one board of directors. “But Little League, without giving too much warning, took all the leagues working with one board and merged them.” Saugus’ main field is behind the Veteran’s School — Grabowski Field. The teams competing to dethrone Peabody Western in District 16 are: West Lynn, East Lynn, Pine Hill, Wyoma, Saugus, Swampscott, Revere, Winthrop, Lynnfield, Peabody and Peabody Western and Salem. Peabody Western won the state championship last year, but lost in the New England tournament. The last team from the district to make the Little League World Series was Western, in 2019. Saugus American — one of the two merged Saugus teams — made it in 2003.

Art for Donna’s sake By Anne MArie ToBin The Lynnfield Art Guild (LAG) has announced that local artist Donna Barnes will be LAG’s featured artist through August 9. Thirty-nine of her oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings will be displayed on the website, www. lynnfieldarts.org for a six-week period on the guild’s Members’ Art page. “As far back as I can remember I have always been intrigued by the arts, even if it was a coloring book and a brand-new box of Crayolas,” said Barnes. Barnes’ introduction to drawing and painting began in the 1970’s in a Lynn public school drawing class. As she learned the skills involved with drawing, both with pencil and pastels, she said her eyes were opened to the joy of creating on paper with marking tools. Barnes studied painting and embraced oil paints. Over time she settled into using mostly acrylics and watercolor. Still life has always been among her favorite subjects. “The process begins with setting up objects to paint. I can work on a still life for weeks, always learning as I paint,” Barnes said. “Landscapes are another favorite subject, working from life as well as photos. I find such gratification participating in the arts and crafts, it all appeals to me. I also paint on slates in acrylic and ran a successful glass-painting business for several years, painting on a variety of everyday objects such as wine glasses, vases, and mailboxes. There are no limits to what you can accomplish.” A member of the Lynnfield Art Guild and Peabody Art Association, Barnes has studied with Paulette Langone, Pauline Bacon, and Paul Goodridge. She is currently working with Steve Greco (acrylic) and Bill Deveney (watercolor). “I’m grateful to both Lynn and Lynnfield (as) in these two cities I’ve had so many wonderful teachers who have both given me the tools and the inspiration to paint,” Barnes said. The Guild is proud to showcase Donna Barnes’ work and invites the public to check out its website www.lynnfieldarts.org.
