SAT scores on the decline 

BY ANNE MARIE TOBIN 

WEEKLY NEWS 

"I can't recall a time when it 

has ever happened." 

That's what Lynnfield High 

Principal Robert Cleary had 

to say about the fact that the 

average SAT scores on both tests 

taken by last year's senior class 

have dipped below the state 

averages. 

The average score on the 

ERW test (Evidence-Based 

Reading and Writing) dropped 

from 599 in 2021 to 552 in 2022, 

15 points below the state average 

of 567. 

The average score on the 

Math exam dropped from 599 in 

2021 to 560 in 2022, one point 

below the state average of 561. 

Cleary said he thought there 

were a couple of factors in play 

to account for the drop. 

"As we looked at this from 

year to year, you have to be 

careful because it's a different 

group of kids," he said at 

Tuesday's School Committee 

meeting. "The odd part that 

surprised us is it wasn't a surprise 

that our numbers went down, 

but if you look at those state

SAT scores on both the math and reading, and writing exams have dropped below 

state averages.

public-safety 

buildings 

BY EMILY PAULS 

WEEKLY NEWS 

The $63.5 million public safety 

building project has been approved 

by voters in Tuesday’s election with 

58 percent voting yes and 42 percent 

voting no. 

The project calls for the demolition 

of the South Lynnfield Fire Station 

and construction of a new fire headquarters 

in its place as well as expansion 

and revocation of the existing 

police, fire and Town Hall facility. 

“Thank you for supporting all of 

your public safety first responders. 

We appreciate the support and we’ll 

continue to serve,” Glenn Davis, 

Lynnfield fire chief, said. 

There are many reasons why this 

project was important to pass, he said. 

“Number one deficiency is the 

cancer risk to all of our firefighters. 

Their turnout gear is stored on the apparatus 

floor with the apparatus, the 

equity for lack of facilities or space

Santa's helper lights up Lynnfield 

By Anne Marie Tobin 

Weekly News 

It's not easy being the center 

of attention in front of a large 

crowd - especially if you are a 

kid. 

That is unless you are 8-yearold 

Marco Bevilacqua, who had 

been selected to officially light 

the lights on the Town Common 

during Saturday's annual Tree 

Lighting ceremony. 

After helping his mother 

Liana Bevilacqua hand out 

complimentary hot cocoa and 

cookies, Marco took center 

stage alongside Santa Claus, 

perfectly flipping a giant lever to 

illuminate a winter wonderland 

of white lights, much to the 

delight of more than 200 people 

who defied rainy and windy 

weather to come together to 

enjoy the festivities. 

"Congratulations to Marco 

Bevilacqua, who with all his 

might and from the tips of his 

toes, while cheered on by Santa, 

flipped the tree lights switch, to 

light up the Town Common with 

perfectly strung holiday lights," 

said Rec Department Chair Rich 

Sjoberg. 

"I was a little nervous but 

it was very exciting," Marco 

Bevilacqua said. "Christmas is 

my favorite holiday. It was really 

a lot of fun to be selected." 

Select Board Vice Chair Joe 

Connell noted that, with less-than 

ideal weather conditions, the 

turnout was full of "dedicated" 

people and that the tree-lighting 

ceremony is a "wonderful 

tradition in our great town. 

"I know there's a special 

feeling that we share, when we 

push the button lighting up that 

tree," he said. "It's as if each 

one of those twinkling lights 

sends a new spirit of love, hope, 

and joy through the heart of the 

community. And, of course, a 

symbol of peace, expressing our 

hopes and prayers for peace for 

our families, our communities, 

our nation, and the world." 

As he is every year, Santa was 

a crowd favorite with young and 

old alike. The Priestleys Fine Art 

Photography, once again, offered 

complimentary photo prints of 

Santa with families and kids 

who were anxious to share their 

Christmas lists with Santa. 

"We were very fortunate 

Mother Nature held off from 

the predicted rain and wind to 

allow Santa’s reindeer to get him 

from the North Pole all the way 

to Lynnfield Fire Headquarters 

for his special arrival," said 

Sjoberg." I heard many kids 

sharing their wish lists with 

Santa, who didn’t even need 

a notepad to remember each 

one and each family walked 

away with a special photograph 

courtesy of The Priestleys. 

A large group of Girl Scouts, 

Brownies and high school singers 

sang carols. 

Lynn transplants Matt and 

Maria O'Neill along with their 

1-year-old daughter Juliet and 

3-year-old son Liam took in the 

festivities for the first time. They

celebrated Juliet's first birthday 

a couple of months ago at the 

Meeting House and spent much 

of the day at the Country Store. 

"We moved here 11 years ago 

and now finally have a family 

and can enjoy these wonderful 

things that our town has to offer," 

said Maria. "It's just great being 

able to get to know the other 

families and take part in things 

like this." 

"This is a great turnout 

and it's great that all of the 

kiddos turned out," said Liana 

Bevilacqua, who along with her 

Coldwell Banker's Hixon and 

Bevilacqua Home Group partner 

Christina Hixon served up 

dozens of chocolate chip cookies 

donated by Christina Hayman's 

Lynnfield Baking Company and 

hot chocolate donated by Mary 

Collett, owner of a Dunkin 

Donuts in Salem. 

"Christina and I live in 

this town with our families," 

Bevilacqua said. "We love our 

community and were thrilled 

for the opportunity to give back 

tonight." 

Connell expressed his thanks 

to those who "have given so 

much to the town throughout the 

year and all this holiday spirit 

and welcoming the lighting of 

the town tree for 2022." He said 

the holidays are a time for giving 

and he hopes residents will "open 

their hearts to those who are 

lonely and in need, citizens less 

fortunate than ourselves, and the 

brave service members deployed 

throughout the world working to 

preserve peace for us." 

He thanked Sjoberg, 

Director Julie Mallett and the 

entire department "for always 

providing great events like this 

Tree Lighting Ceremony to our 

community." 

Sjoberg, in turn, said the 

event wouldn't be possible 

without the support of so many 

volunteers including Connell, 

Dixon, Bevilacqua, Collett, 

Hayman and Lucy Karis "for 

her incredible graphic design 

talent in creating the "Light up 

Lynnfield map and flier. He also 

gave a shout out to Patrolman 

Mark Bettencourt, the DPW and 

the Lynnfield Fire Department 

for their assistance. 

"And lastly, none of this 

would not be possible without 

the tireless effort and caring 

professionalism of our Lynnfield 

Recreation Director, Julie 

Mallet and her unsung hero of a 

husband, Billy Mallett, who sets 

the stage annually for the holiday 

season to kick off," said Sjoberg. 

Connell said that while 

the "generosity, volunteerism, 

kindness and caring of all the 

kind people of Lynnfield is 

always with us throughout the 

year, it seems to come to light 

more during the holiday season. 

"These trees which we will 

light today, (are) a symbol of all 

the goodness in all of us, and that 

we are all a part of something 

much larger, much more 

powerful, and enduring than 

any force here on Earth. When 

I drive by the tree daily, it will 

remind me to be the best person 

I can be." 

"As we rush through the 

hustle and bustle of the holiday 

season, it’s always nice when 

we, our 

friends and neighbors, can 

spend an afternoon celebrating," 

said Sjoberg. "Together."

WEEKLY NEWS 

Let’s just say Historic 

Lynnfield hit it out of the park 

Saturday at the annual holiday 

Country Store at the Meeting 

House. 

“I was so pleased with how 

hard the team from the newly 

formed Historic Lynnfield 

worked to put on such an 

energetic Country Store,” said 

Karen Nascembeni. “With so 

many new vendors, the 1714 

Meeting House was bustling 

in all its holiday glory. It was 

a perfect blend of food, crafts 

and holiday cheer. We really 

lucked out in that the worst of 

the weather held off for most of 

the day.” 

This was the first year that 

Historic Lynnfield hosted the 

popular store. 

“We are here as Historic 

Lynnfield to carry on the 

tradition in the name of Steven 

(Richard and his (Pope) family 

and of those people who made 

this such a wonderful tradition,” 

said Nan Hockenberry, president 

of Historic Lynnfield. “We 

hope to do that and more, kind 

of creating more moments for 

history for the people that live in 

the town and bring more history 

to them so they can understand 

the traditions and the reasons 

why the town is the way it is.” 

In the name of StevenOne 

of the highlights of the store 

(second only to a visit from 

Santa Claus fresh off a Lynnfield 

fire engine) was the return of the 

Voices of Hope singers. 

“Their performance was 

even more enthusiastic this year, 

perhaps, because we could see 

all of their unmasked beautiful 

smiles,” Nascembeni said. “They 

are so busy at this time of year. 

I’m so appreciative that they 

could fit us into their schedule 

again.” 

Christina Hayman’s Lynnfield 

Baking offered a big selection 

of baked goods and desserts. 

Hayman said the most soughtafter 

items were the Christmas 

chocolate peppermint cookies. 

“It was my first year and it 

was so nice to have things back 

to normal. It was so festive 

and the holiday spirit was off 

the charts,” she said. “And the 

singing by the Voices of Hope 

was just so wonderful and 

joyful.” 

The popular Cheese Man’s 

Vermont cheddar cheese station 

was a huge hit, so much so that 

if you didn’t get there early, you 

didn’t get any cheese. 

“I don’t ever remember 

selling out before noon,” said 

John Nunziato, who was ably 

assisted by “co-cheeseman” Joe 

Miglio. 

One of the oldest traditions 

of the Country are the ham-andbean 

suppers. A generous portion 

of ham, home-made baked beans, 

old-fashioned brown bread and 

cole slaw were the perfect takehome 

comfort treats. 

“Every year we know you 

have to get your suppers early or 

they’ll be gone,” said Don Martin 

and Doreen Richard DeFillipo. 

Once again, the Village 

Home and Garden Club offered 

beautiful evergreen arrangements 

and The Centre Club of the North 

Shore’s lottery ticket table was 

also busy. 

The store’s most popular 

activity for children - Santa’s 

North Shore Fishing Pole was 

also a hit with several adults 

trying to catch a special trinket 

or toy. The ornament decorating 

station hosted by the DiFillippo 

was a hit for kids of all ages with 

kids creating special ornaments 

to take home as a remembrance 

of this beloved annual tradition. 

An added treat was choosing 

their favorite penny candy, 

courtesy of the Kilgore family. 

Other offerings this year 

included decorative wreaths 

by Ariel Priestley’s Bee Kind 

Designs, home décor from All 

About Machine Embroidery, 

pottery by Mad Mud Design and 

beautiful blankets and aprons by 

Busy Fingers. 

“It’s been really steady since 

we opened the doors at 8:45,” 

said Priestly, who was assisted 

by her mother, Lauri Priestley 

and Linda Fair. 

“Things have been going 

extremely well,” said Fair. 

“It’s just great to be able to 

participate and it’s great to help 

keep this special tradition alive,” 

said Lauri Priestley. 

State Rep. Bradley H. Jones, 

Jr. was also on hand to join in on 

the fun. 

“We try to come every year 

as this is just a quintessential 

Lynnfield and New England 

community event,” he said. 

Lynnfield for Love, a 

grassroots organization fostering 

diversity, inclusivity, and 

kindness, was also on hand. 

Inclement weather forced the 

group from its normal table 

outside the Meeting House 

entrance inside. 

“We were so glad to be able to 

accommodate moving Lynnfield 

For Love indoors,” Nascembeni 

said. “They are such a wonderful 

force of good in the town. There 

is so much that goes into putting 

this event on.”

Voices of Hope sing their hearts out at Saturday’s Country Store. 

The library’s annual Pop-Up 

Book Sale was also a weather 

casualty and was moved to 

the library where a variety of 

holiday-themed, cooking and 

giftable books were sold. 

Proceeds of the Country Store 

will be used for preservation of 

the Meeting House and to obtain, 

catalog, and preserve important 

Lynnfield artifacts to be housed 

in the Pope Richard Historical 

Centre that will be available for 

research. 

Nasembeni said she is always 

fortunate to have so many 

volunteers every year. 

“We were so grateful to 

have the youth volunteers from 

Connor’s Kindness Project to 

help load out the event at the end 

of the day. What a great group 

of dedicated young people,” she 

said. “I truly want to thank the 

hundreds of people who came 

through our doors, not only 

from Lynnfield but throughout 

the North Shore. This annual 

tradition is so near and dear to 

my heart. It is an honor for all of 

us to be stewards of this event in 

its love-filled history.”

adults Jim Squadrito (Scout Master), Patrick Curley, Keith Carty, and Jamie Anderson. Photo by Patrick Curley 

Boy Scouts treated to a unique 

adventure at ReadyScout Camporee 



Submitted by Patrick Curley 

Scouts BSA Troop 48 Lynnfield 

attended the ReadyScout Camporee 

at the Army National Guard Station 

in Strafford, New Hampshire in 

November. 

This adventure was truly unique 

Upon arrival at the base on Friday 

night, the Scouts were greeted by an 

active Army National Guard member, 

who awarded each of them a T-shirt 

and an Army National Guard winter 

hat with the Army National Guard 

logo. 

Over the course of the Nov. 

18-20 weekend, the Scouts attended 

Scout merit badge courses taught 

by active Army National Guard 

members, as well as volunteers 

from Pemigewasset Valley Search 

and Rescue Team, an elite volunteer 

search and rescue service in the 

White Mountains. 

Merit badge offerings included 

search and rescue, first aid, fire 

prevention, aviation, and public 

health. The Scouts learned from 

experts in these fields including 

medics, rescue searchers, pilots, etc. 

One of the highlights was 

the Saturday arrival of an Army 

National Guard Black Hawk 

helicopter and their search and rescue 

crewmembers. The Black Hawk 

flew in from its base in Concord, and 

landed right in front of the Scouts, 

who then had an opportunity to walk 

right up to the Blackhawk and talk to 

its crew. 

The Scouts slept in tents for two 

nights when temperatures plummeted 

to roughly 20 degrees each night. 

The Scouts planned out their meals, 

shopped for ingredients, and cooked 

their meals over a propane stove 

(since it was a military base, open 

campfires for cooking were not 

permitted). As the sunset Saturday 

evening at about 4 p.m., the Scouts 

got to work early, making their classic 

specialty chili dish. 

These are the kind of adventures 

that Lynnfield’s scouts participate 

in every month. In December, they 

will be spending an afternoon and 

evening, sleeping over at MetroRock, 

an award winning indoor rock 

climbing gym in Newburyport. 

During these types of events, 

Lynnfield’s Scouts learn practical 

skills that will serve them, their 

families, and their community for 

a lifetime. They learn resiliency, 

teamwork, leadership, athletics, 

survival, first aid and community 

service. 

If you have a child age 12 to 

17 who would enjoy these types of 

adventures, and who would benefit 

from learning these skills and traits, 

please contact Scoutmaster Jim 

Squadrito at jsquadrito@gmail.com 

to sign them up. The Troop welcomes 

new members at any time during the 

year. 

Advanced Placement exam scores still strong 

By Emily Pauls 


The School Committee meeting 

on Wednesday discussed the 

improvement of Advanced Placement 

scores in 2022. Out of 14 test 

subjects, nine improved, two stayed 

the same and three dropped. 

"Participation was great," 

Principal Robert Cleary said. "Over 

70 percent of the graduating class 

took at least one AP class, which is a 

great number." 

One hundred seventy-six students 

took a total of 378 AP exams which 

Cleary said is in line with recent 

years. 

"The percentage of the students 

who take the AP exam …75 percent 

of those students who took an AP 

exam scored a three or higher," 

Cleary said. "They’re really putting 

the effort in and doing a great job." 

A total of 25 students attained 

AP Scholar status, which means they 

"scored a three or higher on three or 

more exams," Cleary said. Seventeen 

students earned AP Scholars with 

Honors status by scoring a minimum 

of 3.25 on all their exams and a three 

or higher on four or more exams. 

Seventeen students attained AP 

Scholars with Distinction honors 

with an average of 3.5 on all exams 

and scoring a three or high on five or 

more exams. 

"The average for our Scholars 

with Distinction was 4.11 so that’s 

pretty impressive," Cleary said. 

One of the subjects showing a dip 

in scores was calculus AB, dropping 

from 3.12 to 2.92. 

Committee member Stacy 

Dahlstedt asked if there should be 

any concern there. 

"Is there something going on 

there?" she asked. 

Cleary said that, while calculus 

AB scores did drop, scores in 

statistics (2.90 up from 2.67) and 

chemistry (3.21 up from 2.30), where 

math is included in the exam, went 

up. The average score in calculus BC 

jumped a full point to 4.67. 

"There is no one thing that you 

can say ‘aha there it is this is the 

reason why,’ I think this is just the 

matter of you know, there are a 

number of factors that impacted 

student performance," Cleary said. 

Physics and psychology scores 

also dropped in 2022. Physics 

dropped slightly from 3.19 (after a 

five-year high of 4.10 in 2019 and 

2020) to 3.18. Psychology dropped 

from 3.00 in 2021 to 2.75. 

Studio art 2D and music theory 

were the top subjects with average 

scores of five. 

The studio art 2D exam had an 

increased number of participants 

going from three in 2021 to eight in 

2022 with all eight scoring five. Four 

of those students achieved perfect 

scores, answering every question 

correctly. 

"Laura [Johnson] and Liz 

Hayden, our two art teachers, doing 

a dynamite job with our studio art," 

Cleary said. 

Computer science numbers have 

risen from last year as well going 

from 3.59 to 3.88, a five-year high. 

"I do want to call out computer 

science, I know we’ve invested a lot 

on that and that has seen a steady 

increase over the last five years which 

has been great to see a return on that 

investment," Jamie Hayman, school 

committee member said. 

One subject Cleary said he is 

looking forward to seeing where the 

scores will go next year is European 

history. The class wasn’t offered last 

year but was reinstated this year. In 

2021, only four students took the 

exam with an average score of 3.75. 

Kathryn Moody, guidance chair 

at Lynnfield High School, said she 

ordered 100 more tests than last 

school year which is in part due to the 

addition of AP European history and 

another AP computer science class. 

Test scores in AP Spanish and 

French were low when compared 

to other subjects. The average score 

in Spanish rose from 2.46 in 2021 

to 2.80 in 2022, its highest average 

in the last five years. French scores 

remained the same at 1.89. 

Hayman asked how important 

languages are to colleges. 

"Language is important, I think 

it helps round out the transcript, 

having all the core academic classes 

and language," Moody said. "Most 

of our kids do go on for that fourth 

year so that’s encouraging. It’s not a 

graduation requirement at Lynnfield 

High School… colleges like to see it 

and we push it." 

The average score on the biology 

exam hit a five-year high at 3.81, up 

from 3.13 in 2021.

Hayman also asked if they should 

be focused on scores or the number 

of students taking the exams. 

"We’re looking at giving kids 

opportunities," Cleary said. "I’m 

far less concerned about what their 

scores are… when we’re looking 

at it, yeah five is a great score but 

depending on the student a three 

could be an outstanding score 

depending on how much they might 

have struggled getting there…and 

that’s a great life lesson."

Davis said. “We need to 

hire a construction overall manager, 

we need to start figuring out temporary

Marian Orfeo, 68 

1954 - 2022 

LYNNFIELD - Marian Orfeo 

passed away peacefully on 

Thanksgiving Day after a 3-year 

journey with ovarian cancer. She 

leaves behind her dear and devoted 

husband, Frank Scott, and 

beloved son, Christopher. 

Marian achieved considerable 

professional success from her 

humble beginnings growing up in 

an Italian American community in 

South Philadelphia. Her parents 

stressed the importance of education 

and made sacrifices to insure 

her exposure to the arts. Marian 

distinguished herself academically 

and was awarded the Mayor’s 

Scholarship (only one per year in 

Philadelphia) which provided her 

a full scholarship to the University 

of Pennsylvania where she earned 

her undergraduate degree in City 

Planning. She then earned a Master’s 

degree in Regional Planning 

at the University of North Carolina 

at Chapel Hill. 

Marian spent a long career in 

public service, 15 years as a planner 

and administrator for the City 

of Boston, and subsequently 17 

years at the Massachusetts Water 

Resources Authority where she 

eventually advanced to become 

a Special Assistant Administrator 

to the Executive Director. During 

her tenure at the MWRA, she also 

became involved in a national 

coordinating network for public 

water treatment agencies, the National 

Association of Clean Water 

Agencies. She was elected to the 

Board of Directors and eventually 

President of NACWA in 2008. As 

recognition of her service, she received 

congressional citations of 

tribute sponsored by Senator John 

Kerry and Representative John 

Tierney. Marian completed her 

career as an administrator at the 

Broad Institute in Cambridge, a pioneering 

biomedical and genomic 

research center under the auspices 

of Harvard and MIT. 

In both her professional and 

personal relationships, Marian was 

recognized for her effervescent 

personality which energized others 

and for her attractive, winning 

smile. She loved outdoor activities 

and travel, especially her annual 

family ski vacations and camping 

trips to Acadia National Park. She 

and Frank were fortunate to experience 

many cultures in their travels 

including trips to Spain, China and 

multiple trips to her favorite country, 

Italy. Marian put considerable 

effort in planning dinner meals 

and was a talented cook acquiring 

a massive collection of recipes. 

She enjoyed a wide range of music 

and attending live performances 

with Frank, spending time with 

friends, reading including organizing 

a book group after receiving 

her cancer diagnosis, taking quiet 

walks, and savoring the beautiful 

outdoor spaces Frank created at 

their home. 

In addition to her husband and 

son, Marian leaves her sisters Michele 

Bozzini (Daniel) and Marie 

Matera (Joseph), her niece Gina 

and nephew Nicholas, and two 

great-nieces. 

Marian is deeply grateful to her 

oncology care team at Beth Israel 

Deaconess Medical Center, particularly 

Dr. Megan Shea, and to her 

hospice team at Care Dimensions. 

In lieu of flowers, please consider 

a contribution to a charity of your 

choosing that will reflect her values 

to assist others in need.

St. John’s Prep celebrates a touchdown scored by Carson Browne.

Not one, not two, but three Super Bowls 

By Joey Barrett 


Rain aside, it was a super day 

of football at Gillette Stadium 

Saturday. 

No. 7 St. John’s Prep outlasted 

No. 4 Springfield Central 13-0 in 

the Division 1 championship to 

win its sixth title. Jonnel Aguero 

of Lynn caught the first touchdown 

of the day from quarterback Aiden 

Driscoll and the Golden Eagles 

never looked back. 

In the Division 6 title game, 

No. 3 St. Mary’s routed top-seeded 

Stoneham 29-8. David Brown had 

a monster day on the ground with 

195 yards rushing. 

In just its sixth season of 

play, No. 7 KIPP made it to the 

big game, facing No. 1 Hull 

in Division 8. Despite Juan 

Setalsingh throwing for 222 

yards, and receivers Vic Mafo and 

Morenel Castro doing their part on 

the big stage, the Pirate run-game 

was too much for the Panthers to 

overcome, falling 27-6.

Make it six for St. John's Prep 

By Steve Krause 

For The Weekly News 

FOXBOROUGH — Call this 

victory "Operation Boa Constrictor." 

That was the strategy Saturday 

when St. John’s Prep slowly 

and methodically strangled 3x 

defending Super Bowl champions 

in Springfield Central, 13-0, to win 

its third Division 1 Super Bowl title 

under coach Brian St. Pierre, and 

sixth in program history. 

The Eagles didn’t let Nebraskacommit 

William Watson, who 

terrorized opponents all fall, do 

anything. They held him to six 

completions in 19 attempts for 49 

yards, and shut him out in the first 

half. 

If the Golden Eagles were 

looking for some balance on the 

ground, forget about it. Running 

backs not named Watson gained 67 

yards (Watson managed to scramble 

for 51). 

"Holding that team to a goose 

egg … I don’t see how you can 

do much better than that," said St. 

Pierre. "This is by far the best Super 

Bowl win of the three I’ve had here. 

That team is very, very good." 

Springfield coach William 

Watson Sr. had nothing but praise 

for St. John’s, and wouldn’t use 

Saturday’s rainy and windy weather 

as an excuse for slowing down his 

high-powered passing attack. 

"You start complaining about the 

elements and that’s an excuse," he 

said, "and it detracts from the great 

job St. John’s did. They made the 

plays that we didn’t make." 

The entire game was a struggle 

to find consistency and rhythm 

on offense. But The Prep cobbled 

together one good drive in the first 

half, and quarterback Aiden Driscoll 

— one of three who took snaps 

Saturday — found Lynn’s Jonnel 

St. John's Prep's Jessie Ofurie extends for the ball in Super Bowl action. 

Aguero with a 13-yard bubble 

screen pass for the touchdown that 

put St. John’s ahead to stay, 7-0, 

with 5:34 to go in the half. 

"That was huge," said Aguero, 

who caught three passes for 30 

yards. "That was our first score and 

it put us ahead." 

Aguero, a Georgia commit, left 

IMG Academy in Florida to play his 

senior year with the Eagles. 

"I’m glad I did," he said. "We 

won a Super Bowl as a freshman 

and now I go out a winner. I’m very 

happy." 

Also, Lynn’s Jesse Ofurie caught 

two passes for 30 yards and was 

active in the defensive backfield all

day. 

"It feels great," said Ofurie, 

who will attend Rutgers next year. 

"People didn’t give us much of a 

chance, but the guys in this locker 

room believed." 

A third Lynner, Marquese Avery, 

a junior linebacker who transferred 

in from Classical, played a role, 

recovering a fumble and nearly 

picking off a pass. 

"I’m ecstatic," Avery said. "I feel 

that sense of accomplishment. And 

now I have a ring." 

But it was Carson Browne, the 

Player of the Game, who ran for 131 

yards on 38 carries, who gave St. 

John’s Prep the chance to employ its 

strategy to slow the game down and 

keep the ball out of Watson’s hands. 

"If he’s not the player of the 

game, I don’t know who is," said St. 

Pierre. 

"Once we got up, and especially 

in this weather, we wanted to choke 

the game. Like a boa constrictor. 

Choke the clock. That’s what we had 

to do to win." 

Browne was rewarded for his 

hard running when he eked his way 

over from two yards out in the third 

quarter to extend St. John’s lead to 

13-0. 

After that, Williams switched 

strategy and put the ball directly in 

his son’s hands and he, by himself, 

moved the ball. But the Eagles 

weren’t about to let Springfield back 

in the game, and stopped the Golden 

Eagles twice in the fourth quarter on 

fourth-down plays. 

After the second stuff, St. John’s, 

led mostly by Browne’s running, 

killed off seven minutes of time to 

keep Springfield off the field. 

St. John’s won back-to-back 

titles in 2018 and 2019, both over 

Catholic Memorial. In all, The Prep 

also won championships in 1982 

under coach Fred Glatz; and in 1997 

and 2012 under coach Jim O’Leary.


Lynnfield’s Aidan Burke has graduated, but head coach John Gardner expects big things for the next men up.

and unbelievable run to the 

state semifinals last season, the 

Pioneers finished with an overall 

record of 19-4-1 – the most wins 

the school has achieved in recent 

memory. 

"Last year was pretty 

remarkable," head coach Jon 

Gardner said. 

When asked what was special 

about the season on a personal 

level, Gardner explained how it 

was their 10th year there, so to 

have the success they had was 

"very fulfilling." 

Gardner gives credit to his 

coaching staff who, along with 

him, have been grinding the past 

decade. 

Lynnfield was led by star 

senior forwards Chase Carney 

and Aidan Burke who combined 

to score 113 points over the 

course of the season. Gardner 

understands the first line of last 

year was something that doesn’t 

happen often. 

"That is once in a generation 

line… that line scored over 60 

goals last season," Gardner said. 

Lynnfield’s Drew Damiani, who racked up 50 points last season. 

Lynnfield coach Jon Gardner, whose goal remains to win after last season’s 19-4-1 record. 

Though Lynnfield is losing a 

lot of production to graduation, 

the Pioneers are returning key 

players on the defensive end 

in captain Drew Damiani who 

tallied an impressive 50 points 

(18 goals and 32 assists) last 

season, and captain Lucas Cook 

who, as Gardner described, as a 

"rock, who will block shots, and 

be physical." 

In addition to Damiani and 

Cook, Gardner says he is excited 

to see juniors Joe Raffa and 

Jarett Scoppetuolo take the ice 

this season. On Raffa, Gardner 

states that Joe is "due for a real 

breakout year," and that Jarrett 

"has all the tools, and he just 

needs to put it all together." 

Gardner explained that 

everyone has to take a step up 

in order to fill the big shoes the 

senior players have left. Instead 

of one player trying to produce 

the numbers Carney or Burke 


tallied, Gardner is looking for a 

number of players to chip in with 

5-8 goals apiece. 

He believes his coaching style 

allows for players to express 

themselves on the ice, which 

could help the younger players 

find their role on the team. 

However, Gardner wants them all 

to know of his "black and white" 

structure, which allows for 

creativity alongside caution. 

Gardner says there is a bit of 

a youth movement occurring at 

Lynnfield, and believes he has 

a healthy balance of leadership 

from the upperclassmen. He 

meets with the leadership-type 

players weekly and encourages 

them to bring new ideas with 

them. 

The system may change 

year to year depending on the 

personnel of the team, but one 

thing remains the same: playing 

to win.

SAT 

From 1 

numbers they were actually the 

same or a little higher. There is no 

explanation for that.” 

“We’re not really sure what that is 

but it could be that a lot of kids from 

the state standpoint who aren’t high 

performers simply said ‘why am I 

going to take the SAT’ and simply 

decided not to take them depending 

on where they were going. Even so 

their numbers are pretty consistent in 

the prior years (state-wide). It’s more 

that we dropped a little more than we 

thought we might.” 

While scores are down, Cleary 

said it hasn’t adversely affected 

Public invited to give 

feedback on Route 

114 Safety Project 



Massachusetts Department of 

Transportation (MassDOT) is holding 

its first public workshop on its Route 

114 safety project on Tuesday, Dec. 

13 from 6-8 p.m. at the Torigian 

Senior Center, 75R Central St. in 

Peabody. 

The workshop will be an 

interactive in-person workshop 

geared toward providing feedback on 

Tier 1 (completed this past fall) and 

discussing what the public would like 

to see in Tier 2, which is scheduled 

to begin next spring. Residents 

and stakeholders will have the 

opportunity to discuss safety issues 

and opportunities for Route 114 with 

the MassDOT project team utilizing 

maps and small breakout groups to 

facilitate discussion. 

In a statement, MassDOT said 

"there will be various easels with 

information on display boards, as 

well as stations with blank maps 

that you can mark up with your 

ideas for the next round of safety 

improvements" and that MassDOT 

will use the information obtained 

at similar workshops that will be 

held over the winter to implement 

additional safety measures next 

spring. 

The project is in response to 

numerous reports about several 

accidents resulting in deaths on Route 

114 over the years. 

In response to those accidents, 

MassDOT, in collaboration with 

the City of Peabody, the Town 

of Danvers, Rep. Tom Walsh 

(D-Peabody), Rep. Sally Kerans 

(D-Danvers) and Senator Joan 

Lovely (D-Salem), conducted a 

Road Safety Audit (RSA) of Route 

114 from Sylvan Street in Peabody 

to Leblanc Drive at the Peabody/ 

Danvers town line, a section referred 

to by MassDOT as the Western 

Corridor. MassDOT says the 

purpose of the RSA is "to identify 

contributing factors to safety issues 

along a road and at intersections to 

identify possible opportunities for 

safety improvements for all roadway 

users." 

MassDOT has already 

implemented Tier 1 improvements 

including new signage and the 

removal of the right lanes on both 

sides of the road in front of the 

Northshore Mall. 

In a MassDOT statement, 

the agency said it "understand(s) 

the concerns that have been 

communicated to us about the pilot 

lane removal on Route 114 near 

SAT scores dip below state averages 

students’ getting into their top 

choices. 

“You look at the list of the places 

our students ended up and there 

wasn’t a huge dropoff,” he said. 

“Getting into great schools still went 

on and they are having wonderful 

experiences.” 

One of the more puzzling aspects 

of the decline in SAT scores is the 

large gap in the 600-699 test range 

when compared to past years. Cleary 

said his best guess is that students 

are electing to skip taking the test 

because their schools are either test 

optional or have dropped the SAT 

requirement entirely. 

Roughly the same number of 

students scored in the 700-plus range 

on the ERW test over the last three 

the North Shore Mall in Peabody. 

MassDOT is reviewing travel-time 

data using various methods of 

monitoring and will provide updates 

on this evaluation in the meeting." 

On the project website, MassDOT 

said that 44 percent of crashes 

that occurred between 2019 and 

2021 were angled crashes between 

vehicles traveling on Route 114 and 

other vehicles entering or exiting 

businesses or sidestreets. 

"With traffic volumes, speed of 

travel, number of lanes and proximity 

of driveways/side streets, entering 

and exiting the corridor presents 

safety hazards for drivers," MassDOT 

states on the project website, adding 

that five-plus travel lanes with narrow 

or non-existent shoulders "contribute 

to speeding and weaving." 

MassDOT said that, during that 

same period, 19 crashes occurred 

involved a vehicle traveling in the 

two-way, left-turn lane in the middle 

of the roadway. 

"Drivers have been observed to 

enter the turn lane much earlier than 

needed to make their turn, using it 

instead as a third travel lane in order 

to avoid traffic in the travel lanes. 

This can lend itself to dangerous 

head-on collisions." 

MassDOT states that the flashing 

yellow-turn signals "provide unsafe 

conditions for left-turning vehicles 

as a driver must find an appropriate 

gap between multiple lanes of fastmoving 

traffic." 

A lack of pedestrian and 

bicycle access and lack of crossing 

opportunities also contributes to 

unsafe conditions and that traffic data 

indicates that there are pedestrians 

crossing the road at intersections 

what do not have crosswalks. In 

addition, the "pavement markings 

for pedestrian crossings that do exist 

are generally faded or do not provide 

pedestrian signalization." 

In addition, the RSA found 

safety issues at the Route 1 and i-95 

interchanges but those issues are not 

the subject of the safety improvement 

project as they "have requirements 

that push it out of a quick-build 

implementation process."

years with 13 in 2020 and 2022 and 

11 in 2021. However in the 600-699 

range, there were 55 students in 2019, 

52 in 2020 and only 16 in 2021 and 

29 in 2022. 

In the 500-599 range, there were 

63 students in 2019, 43 students in 

2020, 21 in 2021 and 46 in 2022. 

“What strikes you is that we 

had the same number of in that 

highest-performing level and then, 

for that 600-699 range you had 52 

in 2020, (only 16 in 2021) and only 

29 in 2022, but then dropped down 

the next few sections (500-599 and 

400-499) and 2020 and 2022 are 

almost identical,” Cleary said. “We’re 

missing 20 kids in that 600-699 

range. That’s why our best guess is 

that it’s not like they dropped down

to the next level, because those 

numbers are pretty consistent; it’s 

more that students that didn’t need 

to take it said, ‘here I am coming out 

of COVID I just need to focus on 

different things. Why take it if I don’t 

need to.’” 

Cleary said a similar trend 

occurred on the Math test with what 

he described as a “big drop” in the 

600-699 range. 

In 2019, 26 students scored 700 or 

more on the Math test, while in 2020 

(the first COVID class), 2021 and 

2022, only 13, 10 and 13 students, 

respectively scored in the same range.

McQueen asked. 

Guidance Department Chair 

Kathryn Moody said, a couple of 

years ago when the SAT-optional 

trend was gaining traction, she just 

believed the trend would continue. 

But now she sees it differently. 

“It’s coming back; they are 

making a comeback. There are about 

25 absolutely solid schools right now 

that are absolutely requiring it. The 

Florida state system never dropped it. 

Georgia is now on board. The service 

academies sort of dropped it but not 

really and the NCAA had dropped 

it for athletes, but for some reason I 

think they might be bringing it back.”

Essex Tech receives state grant 

for after-school programming 



HATHORNE ––Superintendent 

Heidi Riccio recently announced 

that Essex North Shore 

Agricultural & Technical School 

has received a $120,000 grant 

through the Massachusetts 

Department of Elementary and 

Secondary Education (DESE) to 

enhance the quality of and increase 

access for students in after-school 

and out-of-school time (ASOST) 

programs. 

This grant award supports the 

school's continuing commitment 

to strengthening student learning 

by implementing innovative, 

interactive, relevant, and engaging 

teaching and learning strategies 

during the school year and summer 

that meet the specific academic, 

social-emotional learning, and 

developmental needs of students. 

ASOST is inclusive of beforeschool, 

after-school, vacation 

and summer programming hours 

beyond school time. 

Essex Tech plans to conduct 

a series of integration learning 

academies to combine career 

technical and agricultural learning 

with academic skills to create 

highly engaging products. 

During previous academies, 

students have planned, designed, 

built, and improved hovercrafts, 

braking devices, shipping vessels, 

trebuchets, and baseball launchers. 

Students who attend these 

academies earn additional credit, 

and often return as participants 

or student mentors for the next 

academy throughout the school 

year. 

"My favorite events are the 

final competitions that come at the 

end of each integration academy," 

said Assistant Superintendent 

Thomas O’Toole. "The ASOST 

grant has extended our learning 

and in so doing allowed us to 

develop integration coursework 

during the actual school day." 

Essex Tech plans to collaborate 

with Express Yourself, a 

learning organization in Beverly. 

Express Yourself is dedicated to 

community-based arts education, 

and will develop two new 

integration academies that involve 

the sounds and sights of Essex 

Tech. 

"We are grateful to the state 

Department of Elementary and 

Secondary Education for these 

funds, because they will support 

our students who have academic 

gaps due to the loss of learning

Engineering sophomore Tirth Patel of Peabody, left, and freshman Beatrix Josephson from 

Melrose participated in the Summer 2022 Integration Academy at Express Yourself in Beverly. 

during the pandemic," said 

Superintendent Heidi Riccio. "The 

combination of academic and 

technical content creates a deeper 

learning of the skills needed. All of 

this is done through project-based 

learning where student leaders act 

as mentors to their younger peers." 

A total of $3.5 million is 

expected to be awarded to districts 

across Massachusetts as part of 

this grant during FY23.
