own Administrator James Boudreau and Town Engineer Charles Richter recently went before the Planning Board to ask for support in redeveloping the property at 906 Salem St., the former site of Perley Burrill Fuel Oil. During the board’s Aug. 30 meeting, Boudreau said the town had foreclosed on the property after owner Joseph Pedoto allowed it to fall into disrepair. “The owner was making no attempt to clean it up,” he said, adding that Pedoto owes the town $260,000 in back taxes.

Boudreau said the cleaning process alone will cost approximately $400,000. Therefore, the property will be put on the market for at least $660,000. “We have to get our money back,”said Boudreau.

He also said the town has no interest in holding onto the parcel any longer than what is nec-

essary.“We want to get this property off our hands,” said Boudreau. “It is the town’s intent to put that piece of property up for sale and get rid of it.”

However, Boudreau said Pedoto still has time to reclaim the parcel. “He has the right to take the property back; he has until the end of September to do that,” said Boudreau. If Pedoto does not act, Boudreau said, the property will be put on the market in early October.

The board voted to approve the three variance requests made by Richter. The first was for no street lighting, the second was for no natural gas and the final variance was for a shared driveway 300 feet long with a 60foot turnaround area.

“I generally don’t like to grant waivers, but I think there are other considerations to take into account,” said Planning Board CoChairman John Faria, adding that

Amended personnel bylaws to go before selectmen

By Christopher Roberson

T

he Personnel Board met recently to discuss nine bylaw changes that will be presented to the Board of Selectmen on Sept.

13. During the Personnel Board’s Sept. 5 meeting, Chairman Michael Griffin recommended the addition of a Domestic Violence Leave Policy. “This is a leave benefit that an employee has if they are in a domestic violence situation,” he said.

The policy would allow employees to take 15 unpaid days off from work each year. The policy also states that employees must use that time for things such as counseling, getting medical attention, securing housing, obtaining a restraining order and attending to other legal proceedings.

Griffin also recommended that the town adopt a Whistleblower Protection Retaliation Policy. “It’s fairly straightforward, there’s a Massachusetts State Statute on this,” he said.

He also said a clean version should be presented to the selectmen rather than the“red line” version that shows the various revisions. “It opens up a can of worms,” said Griffin.

However, the board later agreed that the “latest red line version” would be given to the selectmen.

In addition, board members agreed that employee files should only be accessed by the selectmen and the Personnel Board in the event of a disciplinary proceeding.

There was also discussion regarding a transgender employee policy. “Cambridge, Boston, Amherst and Northampton all have human rights bylaws,” said Member Gail Marcus.

Member Kip Sanford asked about the degree of detail needed in such a policy. “I wonder if this thing needs to be that dynamic,” he said.

Because of the high level of sensitivity that would be involved, the board ultimately agreed that Town Counsel Thomas Mullen be consulted before doing anything further. “We have to kick this to Tom Mullen,” said Griffin.

Griffin shared a social media policy that he obtained last year from “another town” and said that Lynnfield should adopt one of its own. But he said a so-

The 1638 “Six Mile Grant”– Lynnfield in the Wilderness

By Helen Breen Local government The success of local government in early New England presaged the triumph of the democratic experiment in America. Land grants in Lynnfield and surrounding communities developed into some of the first settlements in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Local town boundaries as we know them today; however,

evolved slowly.

In addition to a longing for religious freedom, the desire to possess their own land prompted resourceful Englishmen to immigrate to the New World. For an investment of 50 pounds, each “adventurer” would receive 200 acres in the Colony. Workmen and artisans wxere offered 50 acres per family upon arrival in exchange for their services. The need for strong bod-

ies and skilled hands was apparent. Pretentious manners and philosophical preoccupations would not fell a tree or raise a barn.

In March 1638, the “Six Mile Grant,” as measured from the Lynn Meeting House, was distributed to some 100 Lynn residents. This expanse of about 13 square miles included much of present Lynnfield, Saugus and “Redding” (now Wakefield) near Lake Quannapowitt.

His progeny intermarried with the Smith and Parsons clans for generations in Lynnfield.

A large grant of 500 acres in what is now Lynnfield Center was awarded to Edward Holyoke. His son, Elizur, married the daughter of William Pynchon, the founder of Springfield, Mass. Edward Holyoke’s grandson and namesake later served as president of Harvard College. Another ambitious landholder was Ensign Thomas Bancroft. His property was in the vicinity of Reedy Meadow Golf Course, near the historic Danforth House.

Four new businesses to join MarketStreet fleet

By Christopher Roberson

J

ust in time for the holiday shopping season, MarketStreet Lynnfield will be adding four new businesses to its booming repertoire. In a written statement, MarketStreet spokesmen Alexandra Sullivan and Kelsey Bruun said Fit Revolution will be opening in the fall while Skeleton Key, Neem Medical Spa and Quinstance are set to open their doors in “late 2017.”

MarketStreet General Manager Nanci Horn said the addition comes at a great time.

“The fall and winter are such busy seasons at MarketStreet Lynnfield; from back-to-school to the holidays, there is never a dull moment,” she said. “The openings of Fit Revolution, Skeleton Key, Neem Medical Spa and Quinstance will bring in even more energy and continue to make MarketStreet

Lynnfield the industry leader for its diversity of brands and dynamic experiences.”

Chosen by “Northshore Magazine” as this year’s recipient of Best Boot Camp, Best Personal Training Facility, Best Health Club, and Best Training Facility, Fit Revolution prides itself on being “the only exercise facility in the area that offers premiere indoor cycling, a unique boot camp experience, as well as other top fitness trends.” In addition to its new location at 681 Market St., Fit Revolution has its original location in North Reading.

“The facility will speak to every level of fitness, challenging individuals to set personal fitness goals that achieve ultimate toning and strengthening results,” said Sullivan and Bruun.

Currently located in Burlington, Quinstance will move into the space at 678 Market St.

“Customers can expect one-ofa-kind items from glassblowers, woodworkers, jewelry designers, letterpresses, soap makers and seamstresses,” said Sullivan and Bruun. “The store will honor both homegrown treasures and globally ethical practices; 90 percent of products are American made and the other 10 percent are sourced from artisans throughout the world.”

Skeleton Key, out of Watertown, will be opening at 663 Market St. and will bring a bit of a twist to Lynnfield’s outdoor mall. The company provides patrons with an “adventure experience” in which they must work together to navigate a series of rooms and escape within the allotted time of 60 minutes. “The space will also include The Adventure Emporium; a bar and lounge serving craft cocktails beer, wine and

Unruly behavior causes pandemonium at closed LYFC meeting

By Christopher Roberson

Cheerleading (LYFC) program held a closed meeting at 600 or the second time in one Market St. for the purpose of month, officials from the electing a new Board of DiLynnfield Youth Football and rectors.

F

League officials had also met on Aug. 7 for the same reason; however, the meeting and the election results were voided, as sufficient notice was not provided.

Although proper notice was given prior to LYFC’s Aug. 30 meeting, only coaches were allowed inside the locked meeting room at the Merritt Center.

Everyone else, including parents and the media, could do nothing more than wait in the lobby, as police officers Jonathan Duzz and Jared Provost stood in front of the stairs leading to the second floor.

However, parents insisted that they be allowed into the meeting, which prompted Duzz to notify his superior officer, who later arrived “Listen, I’ll have my sergeant come down, if you like you can speak to him,” said Duzz.

At the time of the meeting, LYFC only had a permit to hold practices not to play games.

According to anonymous sources, the meeting itself quickly erupted into anarchy and the vote for a new board was never taken.

Instead, there was heated discussion regarding the defi-

nition of a member and which individuals were, in fact, certified as coaches.

Several attendees who wanted to remain anonymous for fear of retribution from town officals told The Lynnfield Advocate that there was a “handful of unruly and unprofessional” attendees at the meting whose main purpose was to cause havoc and not act professionaly to create a more harmonious situation.

“After all, everybody present is supposed to be there for the best interest of the children,” said a source.

Lynnfield Public Library presents two new fall programs

In other news, the board voted unanimously to table the matter regarding the Tesla Charging Station at MarketStreet Lynnfield, as no Tesla representatives were at the meeting despite being invited. “It may just be one big ad for Tesla,”said Faria, adding that other charging stations should also be permitted at MarketStreet.

MarketStreet Advisory Committee requests feedback from Lynnfield residents T

he mission of the MarketStreet Advisory Committee (MSAC), which was established by the Lynnfield Selectmen on May 8, 2017, is to establish a means of effective and ongoing communication for Lynnfield residents, Town of Lynnfield re p res e nt ati ves , an d WS Development and National Development, the firms that own and manage MarketStreet Lynnfield. The result of this communication will lead to better collaboration and a strengthened partnership between all parties involved with MarketStreet Lynnfield. This Committee will play a critical role in making sure MarketStreet Lynnfield is a success for the Town of Lynnfield now and in the future.

Made up of 13 Lynnfield residents representing all four precinc ts, MSAC has spent the summer getting organized, establishing processes and identifying top mat te r s of inte res t co n cerning MarketStreet. The matters of interest include the Berm (the hill between

Walnut Street and MarketStreet), Noise Management Improvement, Traf f ic Improvement, Advisement on Parking, Advisement on Financial Impact, Updating on the Development of Building 1350 (the building with Lahey Health as a tenant), and Advisement on the Potential Development of a Theatre/Cinema. (Currently, there is no theatre/cinema proposal from National Development for consideration.) Subcommittees have been assigned to each matter of interest and have been tasked to educate them selves on stakeholders’ perspectives and report back to MSAC on their findings.

The committee at large will consider those findings and when applicable, draft an advisement to be given to the Board of Selectmen.

Among other resources, feedback from Lynnfield residents is paramount to this discovery process. MSAC will designate an agenda item at upcoming meetings to hear feedback on these matters of interest.

The first two matters of interest discussed will be the Berm and Noise Manage ment Improvement. MSAC invites residents to share feedback on these topics by attending the MSAC meeting on Thursday, September 14 at 7 p.m. in the Al Merritt Room – 600 Market Street, Lynnfield. (The entrance is found b et we en Fugak y u and Sweet Greens; proceed to 2nd Floor). For those unable to attend, feedback can also be shared via email at msac@town.lynnfield.ma.us.

Beacon Hill Roll Call

By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week.

SENATORS’ VOTES WITH THEIR PARTY LEADERSHIP

- This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports the percentage of times local senators voted with their party’s leadership in 2017 through Sept. 1.

The votes of the 2017 membership of 5 Republicans were compared with those of GOP Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester).

The votes of the 2017 membership of 32 Democrats were compared to House Majority Leader Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester), second in command in the Senate. We could not compare the Democrats’ votes to those of Senate President Stan Rosenberg (D-Amherst) because by tradition, the Senate president rarely vote.

Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 73 votes from the 2017 Senate session as the basis for this report.

This includes all roll calls that were not on local issues.

None of the 32 Democratic senators voted with Chandler 100 percent of the time.

Twelve came very close and voted with Chandler all but one time.

The Democratic senator who voted the lowest percentage of times with Chandler was Sen. Walter Timilty (D-Milton) who voted with Chandler only 90.4 percent of the time.

None of the five GOP senators voted with Tarr 100 percent of the time.

The Republican senator who voted the lowest percentage of times with Tarr was Sen. Richard Ross (R-Wrentham) who voted with Tarr only 94.5 percent of the time.

SENATORS’ PERCENTAGE OF VOTES SUPPORTING THEIR PARTY’S LEADER IN 2017 The percentage next to the senator’s name represents the percentage of times the senator supported his or her party’s leader.

The number in parentheses represents the number of times the senator opposed his or her party’s leader.

Some senators voted on all 73 roll call votes. Others missed one or more of the 73 votes.

The percentage for each senator is calculated based on the number of roll calls on which he or she voted and does not count the roll calls for which he or she was absent.

Sen. Thomas McGee 97.3 percent (2) 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 August 28-September 1, the House met for a total of 53 minutes while the Senate met for a total of one hour and 13 minutes.

olunteers for the Linden Tree announce the 33rd season of acoustic music concerts will begin on Saturday, September 23 with wellknown singer/songwriter Tret Fure. As in the past, the concerts feature national and regional folk favorites in an intimate setting.

Tret Fure began her career at the age of 16, singing in coffeehouses and campuses in the Midwest. At 19, she moved to LA in hopes of obtaining a record deal. Within a year she was performing as guitarist and vocalist for Spencer Davis, touring with him and penning a single for his album “Mousetrap.” She went on to record her own album in 1973 on MCA/UNI Records, with the late Lowell George of Little Feat as her producer.

One of the most prolific artists in the contemporary singer/songwriter arena, Fure has released 15 albums and CDs over the course of her 47-year career. In addition to being a gifted songwriter, Fure has engineered and produced countless recordings by a variety of artists, including her own work. She recorded with and produced some of the best of women’s music, including the legendary “Meg & Cris at Carnegie Hall” (1983). She worked as a duo with Cris Williamson throughout the 90s, producing, engineering and releasing three CDs together during those years.

Now after seven acoustic releases on her own label, Tomboy girl Records, she has re-

established herself in the folk world, winning the South Florida Folk Festival Singer/Songwriter Competition in two out of three categories, Best Overall and Best Up-Tempo Song, as well as the prestigious Jane Schliessman Award for Outstanding Contributions to Women’s Music. In 2009, she received the Janine C. Rae Award for her work in Women’s Music.

She released her 15th album, “Rembrandt Afternoons” (2015), which proves to be her best work yet. It has already been chosen by the acclaimed folk music show Midnight Special as their album of the week and has been in heavy rotation on several of the folk shows around the country. Her song “Riverbank” was #2 on the Acoustic Outpost charts for the week of February 15, and the song “Freedom” is #1 on Outvoice.net.

Fure markets her own line of clothing, which is named after her popular song “Tomboy Girl.” In addition, while not on the road, she teaches guitar and songwriting individually and in workshop settings. She paints pet portraits on commission and, an accomplished cook in the marketing, production, music and art worlds, Fure has published a cookbook, “Tret’s Kitchen,” featuring her own recipes. She serves as President of Local 1000, the Traveling Musicians Association – a union geared toward helping traveling musicians find security and longevity.

Opening the season’s show will be Winchester’s Randall Kromm, one of the winners from last season’s Winter Potpourri contest. Since his debut as an acoustic performer in 2010, Kromm has established himself as one of the Boston area’s most respected – and prolific – singer/songwriters and a regular performer in local folk venues. The title track of Randall’s first CD, “Water Wheel” (2011), was hailed by Christine Lavin as a “new folk standard” and covered by Don White on his CD “Winning Streak.” His next two recordings also were well received and received national airplay. A keen observer with a background in musical theater, Kromm’s writing focuses on the struggles, joys and transitions of everyday life. Drawing on a variety of styles, including folk, bluegrass and old-school jazz, his songs illuminate life’s memorable moments with heart, wisdom and humor. In performance, his evocative voice and heartfelt style draw his audience in, creating shows that have been likened to “a conversation with an old friend over the kitchen table.” Kromm has finished work on his fourth album, “Rough and Polished Stones,” which is now available; it addresses love and romance from the perspective of middle age.

Lynnfield girls’ soccer team gets ready to make a postseason run again Pioneers open up the home season Thursday, Sept. 14, versus Rockport

By Joe Mitchell

ty will employ 21 on the varsity roster.

“Practice has been going well,” said Vermont. “The team is coming together nicely, and is working very hard. We are led by 14 seniors, and they are helping set the tone for the rest of the team. We have two juniors and five sophomores to round out the varsity team this year.”

The Pioneers have had several scrimmages, and one of

them was a jamboree in Bedford, where they ended up splitting their two contests.

They also scrimmaged Danvers, but the Falcons, a perennial postseason team, came out on top. The locals did beat Melrose last Saturday.

“I think with 14 seniors on the team, it’s definitely one of our strengths this year,” said Vermont. “We have experience, and the players are competing hard for positions and

playing time.”

Four of those seniors are this year’s captains: Liz Shaievitz, Sydney Santosuosso, Kate Mitchell and Hannah Filipe.

Vermont’s coaching staff remains the same, with Darren Damiani taking charge of the JV squad, and Jolie Condon mentoring the freshmen. The Lynnfield girls will open up the season on the road at North Reading to take on the Hornets on Friday, Sept. 8, start-

The author observes, enchanted Humphrey’s wife, “The earliest inhabitants of Lady Susan, daughter of the every wooded country, who Earl of Lincoln. The Humphries subdued its wilderness, were

truly a race of giants... He who best knew how to fell a tree was justly looked upon as the valuable and leading man. To bring a tall giant of the woods to the ground was a noble and perilous achievement.” (p. 23) Upham speaks of properties literally a stone’s throw from Lynnfield. Unfortunately, what appeared to be a limitless supply of land in the 1640’s had shrunk dangerously small by the end of the century. Controversies over deeds and boundaries, the historian

argues, most likely contributed to the witchcraft madness of 1692.

The exact location and identity of many parcels in the “Six Mile Grant” have not been determined. Nevertheless, we who reside in the general locality may assume that we live on homesteads granted to men and women of vision and courage who cleared the land, established the town of Lynnfield and paved the way for America’s successful experiment in democracy.

A couple of weeks ago, Vermont welcomed about 47 players to tryouts, and as a result the program will expand to include a JV and freshman squad, as well. The varsi-

he kidneys are bean shaped organs that sit just above the waist on each side of the spinal column. We are usually unaware of them as they laboriously filter the blood and remove excess fluid and waste for elimination in the urine. The kidneys have a crucial role in maintaining the body’s fluids in check.Their other key functions include: • Secretion of the enzyme renin, which helps regulate blood pressure • Production of the hormone erythropoietin which stimulated red blood cell production • Conversion of vitamin D to its active form, thereby helping to maintain bone tissue As can be expected, any condition affecting kidney health can severely disrupt your health.

7. If you’re at risk, get regular kidney function screening.

Keeping the kidneys healthy and safe requires the same attention to making healthy lifestyle choices similar to keeping your body healthy.Once again we see that a healthy diet is beneficial for the whole body.

pressure, diabetes or a family history of kidney disease can put one in three Americans at an increased risk of developing kidney disease. But even if you don’t fit in any of those risk categories, it’s important to take care of these critically important organs.

The Cleveland Clinic, an academic medical center, recommends the following steps.

1. Hydrate, but don’t over do it. As usual more is not necessarily better.More than the typical four to six glasses a day won’thelp your kidneys work any better 2. Eat healthy foods. Most kidney problems arise out of other medical conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes.Keeping with an eating pattern that controls weight and minimizes the risk for blood pressure and diabetes will help keep kidneys in good condition.

Savvy Senior

by Jim Miller

Top New Cars for Older Drivers Dear Savvy Senior, My wife and I are both in our late sixties and are looking to buy a new car. Can you recommend some good resources that can help us evaluate and choose a good car for older drivers?

Car Shoppers Dear Shoppers, With more than 40 million licensed drivers in the United States age 65 and older, many automakers today are designing certain vehicles that are friendlier for older drivers. But what makes a good car for seniors? For many, top priorities include a vehicle that’s easy to get into and out of, easy to adjust for fit and comfort, easy to operate and see out of, as well as reliable, safe and a good value.

To help you narrow your vehicle choices, Consumer Reports and the American Automobile Association (AAA) offer some great information and tools to assist you.

CR Best Cars Consumer Reports recently put out a top 25 ranking of new cars for senior drivers. Each vehicle on their list offers excellent or very good ratings on reliability, safety, road-test performance and owner satisfaction. And, they offer a variety of senior-friendly features that are extremely important to older divers, like: Easy front-seat access: Vehicles with low door thresholds, wider door openings, and step-in heights that reduce the need for ducking or climbing, make getting into and out of a car easier for those with physical limitations.

Good visibility: Being able to see well out of the front, sides, and back of a vehicle for tall, medium, and shorter drivers.

Simplified controls: Easy-to-read gauges and simplified/ intuitive controls for changing the radio, shifting gears, and adjusting the heating and cooling is a high priority among older drivers.

Bright headlights: Powerful headlights can make driving at night easier for people with decreasing or compromised vision.

They also weighed in extra safety features (standard or optional) like a backup camera, automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning and blind-spot warning.

Their picks include a variety of compact and midsized sedans and SUVs, two minivans and a station wagon from seven different automakers. Here’s their top 25 ranking, starting with one through 25: Subaru Forester; Subaru Outback; Kia Soul; Subaru Legacy; Kia Sportage; Toyota Highlander; Toyota Prius V; Toyota RAV4; Honda Odyssey; Nissan Rogue; Honda Accord; Ford C-Max Hybrid; Hyundai Sonata; Toyota Camry; Subaru Crosstrek; Toyota Sienna; Honda CR-V; Honda Pilot; Kia Forte; Ford Escape; Toyota Corolla; Kia Sorento; Ford Flex; Hyundai Santa Fe; Hyundai Tucson.

For more information on their top 25 list, see ConsumerReports.org/elderly-driving/top-25-new-cars-for-senior-drivers.

AAA Tool Another great resource that can help you evaluate and chose a vehicle that meets your needs is the AAA online tool “Smart Features for Older Drivers.”

At SeniorDriving.AAA.com/SmartFeatures you can check the areas you have problems with – like diminished vision, cognitive decline, limited upper body range of motion, decreased leg strength, arthritic hands, short stature or overweight – and the tool will identify vehicles that have the features that will best accommodate your needs. Although this tool looks at model-year 2016 vehicles, in many cases the features shown are carried over for 2017 models.

They also have a Smart Features brochure you can download that will tell you what to look for in a vehicle to best accommodate your needs.

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.

William Wilkinson, 89, Lynnfield native and former US Navy pilot W

illiam A. Wilkinson, 89, died peacefully with family on August 29, 2017. Bill was born in Winchester, Mass., on May 11, 1928, to Walter Edward and Leslie Payzant Wilkinson of Lynnfield, Mass. As a youth, Bill was both a member of the Boy Scouts of America and Civil Air Patrol.

Captivated by flying from an early age, and in preparation for a naval career, Bill graduated from Severen School in Severna Park, Md., in 1946, and he joined the United States Navy through the Holloway Plan. This program allowed him to fly sooner and included two years of undergraduate education at Yale University, followed by two years of flight training in Pensacola, Fla., where he qualified as a fighter pilot and earned his Navy wings and commission.

Shortly after this, Bill married the love of his life, Mary F. Heywood of Severna Park, Md., in 1950. Six weeks later, Bill received orders to report to fighter squadron VF 32 aboard the USS Leyte in Norfolk, Va., flying the F-4U Corsair. With VF 32, Bill flew multiple combat missions during the Korean War. His Squadron mates became part of his extended family, and their wartime experiences created a brotherhood that lasted a lifetime. After his Navy service Bill joined American Airlines and flew domestic and international flights for 35 years. His career culminated as an American Airlines Captain flying 747s to Paris and Tokyo.

Bill and Mary had three children and while the children were still young, they discov-
