Selectmen hear proposal for active-adult housing at Sagamore By Christopher Roberson
T
he Board of Selectmen recently listened to the proposal for a two-story, 154-unit active-adult housing complex on the eastern side of the Sagamore Spring Golf Club. During the Jan. 29 meeting, Attorney Theodore Regnante, counsel for developer Ronald Bonvie, said that in addition to gaining approval from the necessary boards and commissions, three articles will need to pass at Town Meeting before the project can move forward. The primary article will request a zoning change from residential to elderly housing. Should the project come
to fruition, Regnante said, each unit would be between 2,400 and 3,000 square feet and would sell in the range of $700,000 to $900,000. “The units will be in keeping with the character of the neighborhood,” he said. In addition, the complex, which is known as the Fairways Edge at Sagamore Spring, is expected to produce $1.6 million-plus in new growth revenue. Peter Ogren, president of Hayes Engineering, said that in addition to being a gated 55plus community, the complex will offer amenities such as a fitness center, lounge, game FAIRWAYS EDGE AT SAGAMORE SPRING: A rendering of the proposed active-adult housing complex at Sagamore Spring Golf Club.

$24.8M needed to fund schools in fiscal year 2019 By Christopher Roberson
D
uring her Jan. 29 budget presentation to the School Committee and the Board of Selectmen, Superintendent of Schools Jane Tremblay said the district needs $24,850,140 for fiscal year 2019. Within that figure, $21,619,621 is for salaries, $1,739,509 is for Special Education and $1,491,008 is for other expenses. Tremblay said another $250,000 has been set aside for capital expenditures. This budget request represents an increase of 4.5 percent over last year. Tremblay said the preliminary number that came out of the Central Office in August 2017 called for a 6.4 percent increase. However, after speaking with then-Town Administrator James Boudreau, it became clear that elevating the budget by 6.4 percent would not be possible. Therefore, Tremblay said she and her team went back and made a series of proposed reductions to arrive at the current budget figure. On the elementary level, those cuts would include a reduction in hours that tutors are available. Tutor hours would also be rolled back at the middle school, and the media center aide position would be eliminated. The high school would lose its guidance clerk, media center aide and nurse’s aide. Other potential reductions would affect department op-
erating budgets, substitute teachers, non-instructional staff and support staff. Although there is a need for a school adjustment counselor, financial constraints prevented that position from even making it into the budget. Board of Selectmen Chairman Christopher Barrett asked if it would still be possible to have an adjustment counselor who could be compensated through parents’ health insurance. His suggestion did not sit well with Special Services Director Kara Mauro. “I don’t believe that’s something we could rely on,” she said. School Committee Member Jamie Hayman said it is a shame that additional opportunities for the district rely on funding that is not there right now. “I think our hands are tied at 4.5 percent,” he said. Tremblay said any additional losses would directly impact the classroom. “Any more reductions is most likely teachers,” she said. “This is the most painful part of the work, it’s the hardest part of our job.” Parents were notified in midJanuary that the Preschool Extended Day program would be ending, not because of a funding shortage but because of space restrictions at Summer Street Elementary School. Tremblay also said there has been a spike in the cost of special education as well

ttorneys Jonathan Albano and Adam Simms made one final attempt to stop the $67,000 defamation lawsuit that was filed against their clients regarding the ongoing financial situation with Lynnfield Youth Football and Cheerleading (LYFC). Albano and Simms represent Selectman Philip Crawford, the CBS Corporation, WBZ reporter Ryan Kath and Joseph Maney, Jr. The lawsuit, which was filed in August 2017, was in response to a story that Kath had aired four months earlier. The content of that broadcast accused LYFC President Wayne Shaffer, Thomas Terranova and Stephen Berardino of wrongfully sequestering league funds. During a Jan. 25 hearing at Salem Superior Court, Attorney Bradford Keene, counsel for Shaffer, Terranova and Berardino, urged Judge Peter Lauriat not to dismiss the lawsuit. “It is far too early to dismiss this case,” said Keene, adding that the defendants should be questioned further in a deposition – “There’s a question as to what the truth is, we don’t know at this point.” Keene also said the “tone and

Crawford “has nothing to do with Lynnfield Recreation; he wasn’t even there.” However, he said Maney certainly could have intervened. “Mr. Maney was there, he should have been the first one to jump up and scream about improprieties at the concession stand,” said Keene. In response, Albano argued that his clients are protected regardless of what Crawford said during the interview. “Let’s assume that everything that came out of the man’s mouth was false; it’s still covered by the fair report privilege,” he said. “That should end the case against my clients.” Simms said Crawford was merely exercising his First Amendment right to free speech. “He was commenting on a matter of public concern,” said Simms. At press time, Lauriat had not rendered a decision.

inflection” of the broadcast suggested that Kath had committed an act of malice. “No one is suggesting that they took the money, but that’s the color of the broadcast,” he said. “The entire broadcast was a slam against three individuals.” Keene also said the Attorney General’s Office reviewed the matter and did not find any evidence of wrongdoing. He then turned his attention to Kath’s interview with Crawford. During the interview Crawford said: “The parents have to know where all this money went that they poured into this program. We had dozens of complaints about concession stand money; it’s all cash. People want to know where it all went and what it’s being used for.” However, Keene said that could not be further from the truth. “That entire part of the segment was an absolute falsehood,” he said, adding that

“Living the Dream”
Father and son paddle Panama Canal for them with a 30-foot canoe. “This was something to see: It was completely carved out of a single tree,” said Miller. “Its one concession to modernity was that it had a gasoline engine. We lashed all our gear onto their canoe, and they took us several miles downstream to their village, where we spent the night.”
Despite their desolate surroundings and paddling for “five to six” hours every day, Miller said, personnel from Aventuras Panama always knew where they were by using GPS. Miller said that prior to the trip, he was concerned about

ynnfield resident Robert Miller always wanted to see the Panama Canal ever since he learned about it in his sixth grade geography class – last month he got his chance when he and his son, Timothy, kayaked 55 miles through the waterway. “I am now in my 50s, so that’s been a dream for a while,” said Miller. “As an engineer, I’ve been fascinated by the sheer scale of this project, and as a member of the Lynnfield Economy Club, I’ve been in awe of how much of the world’s goods physically pass through this narrow waterway.” To travel through the canal from the Pacific Ocean, Miller said, vessels pass through the Miraflores Locks, Miraflores Lake, the Pedro Miguel Locks and the Culebra Cut, which flows into Gatun Lake and ultimately the Caribbean Sea. Since kayaks are not permitted through the locks or the Culebra Cut, Miller and Timothy began their four-day odyssey in the mountains at the source of Gatun Lake. “We started our adventure in the bush,” said Miller. However, just reaching the starting point was an adventure in itself. Miller said it began with a three-hour car ride from Panama City and then moving all their gear into a “beefed up” four-wheel drive vehicle. “This was one of the most extreme four-wheel drive rides I’ve experienced,” he said. “What we traversed could barely be called a trail – we went through jungle, mud, rivers, over rocks and over a mountain for two hours until we could go no farther.” At that point, Miller said, adventure outfitter Aventuras Panama had arranged for some of the country’s native people
to bring in horses to assist. “We roped our boats and gear to the horses and hiked another two hours through the jungle and over another mountain to the headwaters of the Piedras River, which flows into the Chagres River, which fills Gatun Lake,” said Miller. “From there, the only way out was down the river; this was a real thrill.” Miller said he and Timo-
thy spent the next five hours paddling through whitewater conditions with no one else around. “From the time we put in, we did not see a single human being – not a structure, wire or fence,” he said. “We were followed by vultures the entire time.” However, they eventually came upon another group of natives, who were waiting

Twenty four hours later, her husband called her from her parents’ home in West Lynn. Somehow, he had walked there from Route One.

By Wednesday morning the snow had stopped and the sun was shining brightly. My car was totally buried, but no matter because a driving ban had been issued for the whole state. Somehow, with the help of neighbors, we cleared a path to the road. We then trudged merrily down Summer Street towards the Center. Along came a big Caddy with police escort.

onds, I knew exactly why they were called fire ants and I was running for the water to extinguish the burning.” Although the crocodiles in the canal’s watershed would not attack a kayak, Miller said, he and Timothy needed to be vigilant as they approached the Caribbean Sea. This was the neighborhood of saltwater crocodiles, which are far more aggressive. “They wouldn’t hesitate for a second to grab lunch wrapped in plastic,” said Miller. He said the screams of howler monkeys could be heard at night. “If you did not know what they were, the sound would be absolutely terrifying,” he said. “You have to be careful because there is so much you don’t know if you are in Panama and you come from Lynnfield – things can happen,
let’s say, arbitrarily.” Looking back, Miller said he enjoyed “every single second” of the trip and spending time with Timothy, who, at the age of 25, now lives in New York City. “Being with my son in such a unspoiled, unpopulated area, being able to completely set our own pace and enjoying all kinds of wildlife, including the occasional flying fish – every moment was to savor,” he said. Miller said his family has enjoyed kayaking and canoeing since they moved to Massachusetts from southern California. “It is such a blessing to have groundwater here,” he said, adding that the closest river or lake in southern California would be hours away. “Here we have the Ipswich River just 20 minutes away, the Concord just 30 minutes away and even Pillings Pond is a fun place to be on the water.”

Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative is raising funds for water wells for Africa
L
ent begins on Ash Wednesday, which falls on February 14 this year. On this day that is traditionally dedicated to love, the parishes of the Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative – St. Maria Goretti and Our Lady of the Assumption – will kick off a Lenten almsgiving effort that truly reflects love for your fellow human. They will be raising funds to provide water wells for rural communities in Zambia. For several years, missionary priests from the Society of African Missions have assisted their parishes during the summer, allowing their resident priests some time off. Two years ago, Father Don Phiri, a priest from Zambia, spent the summer months living in Lynnfield, celebrating Mass, joining in church events and sharing stories of his homeland. Father Don relayed the story of a six-year-old boy from his former parish who went to draw water from an open well, but slipped on the mud, fell in and drowned. Worldwide, one

out of every five deaths of children under the age of five is due to a water-related illness. In Africa, the job of collecting water from distant sources is primarily the burden of women and children, which means easier access would give children the opportunity to go to school and women the opportunity to earn incomes and grow food. Aside from the general need for accessible sources for clean water in Zambia, there is currently an immediate need due to a devastating outbreak of cholera in the region. Since October 2017, 3,600 people have gotten sick and 78 people have died from this bacterial disease that is caused by contaminated water. Schools and markets have been closed. Church services have been suspended. Throughout Lent, parishioners and community members have an opportunity to show their love for the people of Zambia by donating towards water wells that will provide this desperately needed

No action taken against Harrington’s following bar brawls By Christopher Roberson
W
AKEFIELD – For the first time since Harrington’s Irish Pub opened on Water Street 14 years ago, the owners of the establishment were called in to meet with the Wakefield Board of Selectmen about two physical fights that occurred within two months of each other. Police Chief Richard Smith said the first altercation happened just before midnight on Sept. 13, 2017. The individual who started the fight had fled by the time police arrived. “We can make the argument that he certainly wasn’t sober,” said Smith during the Jan. 22 meeting. “This is the stuff we’re trying to prevent.” Although the incident was investigated, Smith said, his officers were unable to find anything further on the suspect. The second fight broke out at 8 p.m. on Nov. 11, 2017. Smith said that the confrontation began inside before spill-
ing out onto the sidewalk. Although one of the involved patrons was injured, Smith said, he refused any medical attention and did not wish to speak with the police. In addition to being concerned for the other patrons and the bar ’s employees, Smith said, he is always concerned for his officers whenever they respond to a call to break up a fight. “It puts our officers in a very bad situation,” he said. “I’m the one who has to make the phone call to the officer’s family.” In response, Selectman Brian Falvey asked for the definition of over-serving alcohol. Smith said it is up to the bartender to decide when to stop serving drinks to someone. “There’s no standard,” he said. Selectman Ann Santos said the public hearing was similar to the one that was held on Jan. 8 in response to an incident at the Dockside Restaurant. “I hesitate to make a lot of assumptions,” she said,
adding that over-serving may not have been the catalyst. “I think there’s an uptick in people being angry, I’ve seen it notched up.” However, Selectman Edward Dombroski took a firmer stance on the matter. “This is a public safety issue and disorderly conduct has consequences,” he said. Selectman Anthony Longo agreed with him. “It’s the responsibility of this board to prevent Wakefield from being turned into Pottersville,” said Longo. Attorney Brian McGrail, counsel for Harrington’s, said the establishment has “become a pillar in downtown Wakefield” and has “blazed a path” for other restaurants to open in town. In addition, McGrail said that not only will Harrington’s refuse to serve alcohol to someone who has already been drinking elsewhere – that individual will be given a complimentary meal and arrangements will
be made to get the person home safely. “Quite frankly, they’re a little uncomfortable, a little embarrassed and a little disappointed to have to be here before you tonight,” said McGrail, adding that he and his clients do not agree with the “presumptions of intoxication.” “Neither police report references the over-serving of alcohol.” M c G ra i l a l s o s a i d H a rrington’s staff responded accordingly to each situation. “They called for help; both of those 911 calls came from a bartender,” he said. Dombrosk i asked what steps the bar has taken to prevent this from happening again. Lisa O’Neill, one of Harrington’s owners, said neither she nor the other owners plan on changing the way they manage the establishment and its patrons. “We’re continuing to run our business as responsibly as we always have,” she said, adding that one of her bartenders even apolo-
gized for calling the police. Yet, Dombroski said the conversation would have been much different if a police officer had been injured. Falvey responded to Dombroski, asking what else he expected from Harrington’s. “What should they have done differently; should they keep a shotgun behind the bar?” asked Falvey. Although the board ultimately decided not to take disciplinary action, Longo left Harrington’s owners with a stern warning. “If you’re in here before us again, we won’t be so nice to you,” he said. However, Falvey maintained that nothing more could have been done. “I’m going to be extra nice to them next time,” he said. Looking at the bigger picture, Selectman Mehreen Butt said the bar incidents need to end. “I’m kind of tired of this, so I’m going to put it out to my board members that we need to do something,” she said.

Governors Baker, Wolf Place Friendly Wagers on Super Bowl LII New England Patriots to take on Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday BOSTON — Ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles, today Governors Charlie Baker of Massachusetts and Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania announced a friendly wager on the game’s outcome. Governor Baker wagered a variety of the Commonwealth’s finest local offerings should the Eagles pull off an upset, including: Clam Chowder from Legal Sea Foods in Boston
Craisins from Ocean Spray in Middleborough Apple Cider Donuts from Smolak Farms in North Andover Apple Pie, Chicken Pot Pie and Maple Syrup from Hollis Hills Farms in Fitchburg Grillo’s Pickles from Needham Boston Crème Pie Cupcakes and Lemon Squares from Koffee Kup Bakery in Springfield “As the New England Patriots prepare for their eighth Super Bowl of the last seventeen years, the full force of the Com-
monwealth and all of New England is behind them every step of the way because we know their jobs are not done yet,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “We are proud to have another opportunity to offer up some of Massachusetts’ finest local products for a good cause and look forward to the Pats bringing home another Super Bowl win.” Governor Wolf has wagered Federal Donuts, Soup from the Rooster Soup Company, Reading Terminal Market
Scrapple, in honor of the market’s 125th anniversary, Coffee from La Colombe in Philadelphia, and donated pizza slices from Rosa’s Fresh Pizza, a pay-it-forward pizzeria that provides hundreds of meals per week to homeless Philadelphians. The Governors have agreed to donate the winnings to a local food pantry of their choice. “Over the last year, the Eagles have battled adversity and inspired millions of fans, both on and off the field,” Gover-
nor Wolf said. “I am putting some of my Philly favorites and Philly’s finest and most iconic food items on the line but look forward to Governor Baker sending some Massachusetts food to Pennsylvania.” For photos of Governor Baker visiting some of the companies featured in Massachusetts’ bet, visit https://www.flickr. com/photos/massgovernor/ sets/72157692820402995/. Super Bowl kickoff is at scheduled for 6:30 PM ET on Sunday.
New England School of Performing Upcoming services at Arts to host auditions for “Annie, Jr.” St. Paul’s Episcopal Church
I
n the depths of the 1930’s, Annie is a fiery young orphan girl who must live in a miserable orphanage run by the tyrannical Miss Hannigan. Her seemingly hopeless situation changes dramatically when she is selected to spend a short time at the residence of the wealthy munitions industrialist, Oliver Warbucks. The New England School of Performing Arts will be holding auditions for “Annie Jr.” on Sunday, February 4th @3pm in Reading, MA. Auditions are for children ages 7-15, and the student must be registered in the Play Production class to audition. “Annie” will be a wonderful theatrical experience where young actors can develop acting skills, build confidence, and make new friends. All skill levels welcome. Kelly Walsh will be serving as the Director for the production. Walsh has been direct-
O
ing children’s theatre for over ten years and has been working in professional theatre for over twenty. “Nespa was created to bring the performing arts to a wide variety of children and teens” stated Walsh. “I love how the arts can change the lives of our youth, and I am astonished by the growth I see in my students academically and socially. For some, theatre
is an outlet to express emotions in a complex world. My passion is to give them a safe place to do that.” For more information about The New England School of Performing Arts visit www.neschoolofperformingarts.org, or call 978-208-0213. Financial Aid is available; no child will be turned away because of the inability to pay.
Lynnfield swimmers get ready for the CAL Championships Sunday at Salem State By Joe Mitchell
T
he Lynnfield High School swim teams are now getting ready for the Cape Ann League Championships on Super Sunday, Feb. 4, at Salem State University. The boys are currently 7-1 in the regular season, while the rebuilding girls’ team has one win to show for their efforts. “I’m very excited to see how
both teams fare against the rest of the league on Sunday,” said coach Andrew DiGiacomo. Sabrina Bunar, perhaps the best diver in the state, is the top-seed in the CAL Meet. She’s hoping to increase her seeding for sectionals and states with a solid performance on Sunday. Nick Alphen is seeded in the top eight in both of his events. Johnny Stumpf is seed-
ed in the top five in both of his events, as well. “The boys have a shot at winning the whole thing on Sunday,” said DiGiacomo. “It will come down to how we can move up in the rankings. We’re also hoping to increase the number of sectional and state cuts this weekend to bring an even larger team to those meets in the next couple of weeks.”
n Sundays in February, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (127 Summer St., Lynnfield) offers a “said” service with Holy Eucharist (Rite I) at 8:30 a.m. At 10 a.m., we offer Holy Eucharist (Rite II) with music and choir; child care is offered for younger children and Godly Play classes for those K-7. This service is followed by coffee hour and fellowship. Lenten gatherings begin on February 13 with Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper from 5:30-6:30. Two services will be offered on February 14, Ash Wednesday: one at noon and another at 7 p.m. Lenten study begins on Sunday, February 18, after the 10 a.m. service. Students in grades 8-12 meet at 10 a.m. on February 11 & 25 (2nd & 4th Sundays of the month) for discussion, learning, sharing, socializing and volunteering. During the February 2-4 weekend, they will be joining other diocesan high schoolers at Barbara C. Harris Camp in New Hampshire. All are welcome; contact Jilleen @ jilleen@stpaulslynnfield.org for more details. The Youth Group also participates in the local, ecumenical Giv2, which offers area teens opportunities to live their faith through serving.
On Mondays at 6 p.m., St. Paul’s parishioners and friends gather for Centering Prayer. On February 5, Centering Prayer will be followed by the last discussion and future planning for the next series on World Religions. On Wednesdays, join us for Holy Eucharist at 9 a.m. During Lent we will be using the 1892 Book of Common Prayer followed by Bible study at 10 a.m. All are welcome to one or both gatherings.

Scoreboard aside, Hockey Pioneers dominate Amesbury Lynnfield needs just one more point to clinch state tourney berth By Joe Mitchell
S
ometimes the final score has nothing to do with the actual game. Last Saturday against Amesbury in Peabody, the Lynnfield High School boys’ hockey team controlled the game territorially with a decided edge in shots on goal, 41-10. But the scoreboard read otherwise. However, it was still a win for Coach John Gardner’s team to the tune of 4-3, who are 9-2-1 overall, 5-1-1 in the Cape Ann League. “Our schedule has been kind
L
of weird lately with midterms and cancellations, but now we have five tough games coming up against postseasoncontending teams,” said Gardner. “The good news is that we only need one more point to make the state tournament ourselves.” The Pioneers will start this stretch of games on Saturday, Feb. 3, against host Newburyport at the Graf Rink, starting at noon. The Clippers defeated the locals the first time around, 3-1. The Lynnfield boys will then head to Triton (Feb. 7), Mas-
co (at Haverhill Feb. 10) and North Reading (at Saugus Feb. 13), before finally coming home to Peabody on Saturday, Feb. 17, to face nonleague Westwood on Senior Day at noon. It was another reason why they didn’t want a tie against the up-and-coming Indians. Every point is important at this stage of the season. The scoreboard was not to their liking after one period, with visiting Amesbury on top, 2-0. But Cooper Marengi got his team on the scoreboard with a power play goal
early on in the second period from George Deroche. Deroche then lit the lamp after finishing off a perfect two-on-one scoring chance successfully with teammate Robbie Brandano that tied up the game at two apiece. Myles McKay was also credited with an assist on the scoring play. But the Indians regained the lead with just 30 seconds left in the middle frame. However, that’s when the home team put a couple of their many shots on net past the Amesbury goalie to secure the win in the third period.
John Simonetti notched the equalizer from Kyle Nekowski. Tyler Murphy then produced the winning tally assisted by Jaret Simpson and Joey Mack. Aidan Kelly and the Amesbury defense once again limited the opposition to 15 or fewer shots in a game. That’s what they shoot for every time, a strategy that certainly bodes well in March. There are eight regular season games left, and the Pioneers are in the driver’s seat for even more success throughout the next six weeks.
Navigators ink Lynnfielder pitcher Foley to 2018 roster
YNN – The North Shore Navigators added more two more pitchers to their 2018 roster on Tuesday. General Manager Bill Terlecky announced that former St. John’s Prep standout Justin Foley and Florida A&M University left-hander Deven Shulstad will toe the Fraser Field rubber for the first time with the Futures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL) club this summer. “You can never have enough pitching on a summer roster, and we’re excited to welcome Justin and Deven to the ball club,”Terlecky said. “Justin is a local product who has past experience in our league, while Deven is a promising young lefty from a strong Division 1 program.” Foley made 19 appearances over his first two seasons at
Bates College, where he was a teammate of three-year Navigator, former FCBL All-Star reliever, and fellow St. John’s grad Rob DiFranco as a freshman. The Lynnfield native went 3-1 with a 5.00 ERA in eight outings, including two starts for the Bobcats last year, striking out 20 while walking just seven over 27 innings of work. Foley, who was ESPN Boston’s Mr. Baseball recipient as a Prep senior, is no stranger to the FCBL as he helped the Nashua Silver Knights to their first of two consecutive championships in 2016. Shulstad will join the Navs following his freshman year at Florida A&M, a Division 1 program in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The 6-foot-5, 165-pound
Justin Foley southpaw played four years of varsity ball and was a two-year starter at Tampa Catholic High School. Shulstad earned Honorable Mention All-Florida Region honors from Perfect Game USA last spring. He becomes the 23rd

Pioneers fall short to Georgetown co-op after valiant comeback effort Young wrestlers come of age in annual league meet last Saturday
By Joe Mitchell
T
he Lynnfield-North Reading High School wrestling team once again continued to persevere despite all odds, only to come up short, this time against the co-op from Georgetown-Ipswich last Wednesday, Jan. 24. “Georgetown-Ipswich jumped out to a 24-0 lead after four weight classes, but we were able to close the gap with two weight classes to go. Unfortunately, we lost those two classes,” said coach Craig Stone. The Pioneers’ comeback effort was primarily turned in by first-year wrestlers on the roster, and they still were able to make it close right down to the wire, only to lose eventually, 51-27. Josh Bedell (132, 1:20, by fall), Timmy Leggett
(138, 4:43, by fall), Andrew DiPietro (152, 5-1, by decision), Sean McCullough (182, by forfeit) and Kevin Farrelly (196, by forfeit) recorded the triumphs for the locals in last week’s match. Coach Stone’s crew then got ready for last Saturday’s Cape Ann League-Northeastern Conference Meet at Beverly High School. The Pioneers placed six wrestlers in this annual competition, with three making it to the finals after only placing four last year with one finalist (Connor Stead, who won it all in his weight class). This year’s team also exceeded their 2017 point total of 86.5. “The future certainly looks bright since all 10 place finishers were freshmen or sophomores,” said Stone after last
Saturday’s annual match. The following is the list of results from last Saturday’s league meet for the local wrestlers. Christian Real-Costa (106, 0-2) is a freshman starter who has been rapidly improving all season long, according to Stone. Stuart Glover (120, 1-2) is a sophomore who was one win away from placing last Saturday. Josh Bedell (126, 3-1) finished third as a first-year senior, and he has now placed in all four tournaments this year. Sophomore Timmy Leggett (132, 2-1) accounted for second in Beverly after being runner-up in the Cohasset tournament early in January. Senior tri-captain Andrew DiPietro (152, 2-1) ended up
second in his first career tournament final. Freshman Nik Marotta (160, 0-2) has been a starter since breaking into the lineup halfway through the season. Senior tri-captain Anthony Wilkinson (170, 3-1) finished third after also placing in this meet last year. Wilkinson has placed in three out of four tournaments this season. Sophomore Sean McCullough (182, 2-1) came in second to continue his streak of making it to the finals in all four tournaments this season. Senior tri-captain Kevin Farrelly (195, 2-2) was fourth. He has placed in three out of four tournaments this season. Overall, the Pioneers finished sixth out of 13 teams with 95.5 points. They also placed six wrestlers, which is
a remarkable total considering they only had nine compete in the varsity portion of the tournament. “I was extremely pleased with our showing,” said Stone. “We performed with a lot of confidence and aggressiveness. Both qualities will be needed again at the sectional tournament in two weeks in order to qualify for the state tournament.” JV results Jack Bird (third), Chris Metrano (first), Jack Ross (third), Eric Benecke (second), Giovanni Colucciello (second), Aidan Carucci (first), Dan Ryan (third), Gerry Callagy (second), Greg Camier (third) and Brandon Ouellette (first) placed for the locals in last Saturday’s league meet on the JV level.

ing,” said House Speaker Bob DeLeo. “I’m particularly proud of the provisions that support housing for those with disabilities and improve facilities used for early education and care.” “Individuals and families need access to safe housing, quality child care and jobs that allow them to support themselves,” said Michael Durkin, President and CEO of United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley. “But high housing costs, a lack of affordable housing production, and low wages create significant barriers to opportunity and jeopardize our future workforce and economy. The Housing Bond Bill is essential to efforts to produce, preserve and modernize affordable housing in communities across the state.” “Massachusetts ranks in the top three of per capita debt in the country,” said Rep. Jim Lyons (R-Andover), the lone member who opposed the package. “Our overall debt has increased from $19 billion to over $26 billion dollars since 2009. The overall debt per person in Massachusetts has grown from approximately $23,000 in 2010 to over $32,000 in 2016. Our overall spending is unsustainable. My job is to protect the hardworking taxpayers and families of my district and that is exactly what my vote does.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $1.7 million housing package. A “No” vote is against it). Rep. Thomas Walsh Yes ABOLISH ARCHAIC LAWS (S 2260) Senate 38-0, approved and sent to the House a bill repealing an 1800s ban on all abortions, a ban on contraception use for unmarried women and a requirement that all abortions after the 12th week of pregnancy be performed in a hospital.It also repeals laws punishing adultery and masturbation. “I am so proud that, at a time when there are renewed threats nationally to providing comprehensive health services to women, the Massachusetts Senate voted unanimously to adopt this bill,” said Sen. Cynthia Creem (D-Newton). “We stand with a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body, including the right to complete control over her medical care, and decisions about contraception and abortion.” Creem also said that just because these laws are not currently enforced does not mean they could not be enforced in the future. She noted that there is discussion in Congress about an attempt to reverse the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case that legalized abortion nationwide.
“We are living in a time when leaders at the highest levels of power in our country are demeaning women and attempting to roll back their rights,” said Acting Senate President Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester). “Massachusetts must affirm its commitment to protecting women’s rights to essential health care and expunge these dangerous laws.” “The Massachusetts Senate is unwavering in its commitment to women’s health care,” said Sen. Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). ”This legislation continues our commitment to women and sends a strong message that this commonwealth will continue to move forward in improving the health and well-being of all our citizens. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Senate seat vacant HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of January 22-26, the House met for a total of seven hours and 44 minutes while the Senate met for a total of five hours and 21 minutes. MON.

LYNNFIELD AT THE READY Lynnfield’s Executive Assistant Roger Gerry manned the “shuttle control center” in Town Hall. Patrolman Vincent Macchia drove a small school bus between senior housing at Ross Drive and the Center for those needing provisions. DPW Director David Rodham reported that most roads in town were passable with 42 pieces of heavy equipment in use. Rodham said he would be requesting more funds from the town because the January storms had already depleted the snow removal budget. At the height of the blizzard on Tuesday morning, Mrs. Gerald Martens of 78 Pine Hill Road requested transport to Melrose-Wakefield Hospital Maternity Ward. Fearing that that ambulance would be stuck on the snow covered side street, Fire

What is an LLC?
any clients with questions about Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) are referred to our office; what is an LLC and how is it taxed? The Massachusetts LLC law became effective January 1, 1996, with the creation of the Limited Liability Act. An LLC is a form of business organization that is an unincorporated organization having one or more members formed pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, chapter 156C. The various tax treatments available to an LLC are Schedule C, Corporation, S Corporation, and Partnership. These options can be daunting. Now that we have all of the legal jargon out of the way, let’s talk tax! How is an LLC taxed and how will that affect you? I will start with explaining the automatic tax treatment by the IRS and then Tax Elections that are available. An LLC can have one or
Thomas D. Terranova
several members. The IRS automatically taxes the LLC as a Sole Proprietor if one member; as a Partnership if two (or more) members. Therefore, you must be extremely careful when applying for a tax identification number as this information allows the IRS to assign a tax filing category that is associated with the LLC tax identification number in its computer systems. In both situations the profit of the Organization is taxed with your individual tax return subject to federal income tax and self-employment tax (subject to Internal Revenue Code [IRC] limita-
tions), along with Massachusetts income tax. There are Tax Elections available for an LLC member or members to make with the IRS to have the Organization taxed as a Corporation or S Corporation. To be treated as a Corporation, you must file an Entity Classification Election Form with the IRS. To be treated as an S Corporation, you must file an Entity Classification Election Form along with Election by a Small Business Corporation (pursuant to IRC 1362). I recommend mailing the executed Forms to the IRS certified and return receipt to prove timely mailing, and the IRS will stamp receipt of the Form. The IRS will then issue an approval letter, confirming whether the elections have been granted. You must retain a copy of this letter for as long as the LLC is active.

Savvy Senior by Jim Miller
Three Ways to Cut Hearing Aid Costs Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve heard that hearing aids will soon be available over-thecounter and will be much cheaper than they currently are. What can you tell me about this? My husband desperately needs hearing aids but we simply can’t afford them. Searching Spouse Dear Searching, Unfortunately, for many years the high cost of hearing aids has kept millions of Americans with hearing loss from getting hearing aids because they can’t afford them. Hearing aids – typically sold through audiologists’ offices – are expensive, usually ranging between $1,000 and $4,000 per ear, and are not typically covered by private insurance or traditional Medicare. But there’s good news on the horizon. Last summer President Trump signed the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017 into law. This will allow people with mild to moderate hearing loss to buy hearing aids without consulting an audiologist, and the devices could sell for between $250 and $300 at drugstores and other retailers. The only problem is that it will be a couple more years before these OTC hearing aids are available to consumers. So in the meantime, here are some tips that can help you find some affordable options. Check Your Insurance While most private health insurance companies do not cover hearing aids, there are some that do. For example, Aetna members can purchase aids at a discount through certain suppliers, and United Healthcare offers hearing aids to their beneficiaries through HealthInnovations for $799 to $999 each. You should also know that some federal workers, as well as residents of Arkansas, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island can get their hearing aids covered by health insurance, as can eligible veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Or, if your husband is a Medicare recipient, about half of all Medicare Advantage plans offer at least partial coverage or discounts on hearing exams and devices. So, be sure you check your husband’s insurance coverage to see if it offers any type of hearing aid benefit. Shop Around To help you save money, consider shopping at Costco, which offers no-cost screenings at certain locations, as well as very competitive prices. Hearing aids there range between $500 and $1,500 each. You can also shop online at websites like EmbraceHearing.com and Audicus.com, which can save you up to $2,000 per pair. Then visit a local specialist to make any necessary adjustments. Another option worth a look is over-the-counter personal sound amplification products (or PSAPs). Unlike hearing aids, the Food and Drug Administration does not regulate PSAPs. And PSAP manufacturers are not allowed to call these products hearing aids or claim that they help hearing. But these devices are very effective for people with mild to moderate hearing impairment, and typically cost between $350 and $450 each. To find a wide variety of PSAPs see assistive listening sites like Harris Communications (HarrisComm.com, or call 866-476-9579). Look For Assistance If your income is low, there is a number of national, state and independent groups that can help you pay for hearing aids or offer discounts. To find them, visit the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association website at ASHA.org/ public/coverage/audfundingresources. Or, call the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders at 800-241-1044, and ask them to mail you their list of financial resources for hearing aids. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
