Developer touts positive impact of active-adult housing project

By Christopher Roberson

T

here was standing room only at MarketStreet Lynnfield as Ronald Bonvie, a principal of Bonvie Homes, and his team fielded questions about the proposed active-adult community at Sagamore Spring Golf Club. Prior to taking questions at the Feb. 3 meeting, Attorney Theodore Regnante, counsel for Bonvie, said the development would be on the eastern side of the golf course, which is currently a residential zone. Therefore, a two-thirds vote will be needed at Town Meeting to change the zoning to elderly housing.

Regnante also said a variance will be needed for the

construction of 154 units. Under the current zoning bylaw, a maximum of 136 units are permitted in an elderly housing zone.

Regnante said none of the site plans would affect the golf course. “A lot of people were concerned that the golf course would go away; the golf course will remain as is,” he said.

At this point, the project has been presented to the Board of Selectmen and the Planning Board. Regnante said meetings with the Fire Department, the Conservation Commission and the Finance Committee are slated for “the weeks ahead.”

LHS Makerspace brings seniors back to the future

A group of Lynnfield senior citizens attended a class at the high school’s Makerspace on Feb. 7 that focused on how to use the various features of iPads and iPhones.

By Christopher Roberson Makerspace.

R

esidents from the Lynnfield Senior Center recently had the opportunity to return to the high school’s Makerspace to take part in a class on iPads and iPhones.

After the Makerspace Open House that was held last fall, Media Specialist Janice Alpert said a survey was administered to those who attended to determine which technology they wanted to learn more about.

“This class was generated out of what they said,” said Alpert.

Before senior citizens tried out the iPads and iPhones on their own, Junior Joseph Fabrizio gave a short presentation on how to use features such as the camera, Facetime, iCloud and the App Store.

While she hopes that this is only the start of more classes, Alpert said they would not be possible without her assistant to watch the library during that time.

Kevin Cyr, the district’s director of Teaching and Learning, lauded Alpert and her colleagues for including senior citizens in the Makerspace.

“It’s a non-threatening environment for them,” he said.

“What a great opportunity for us to integrate the community, it’s opening up the doors.”

Cyr also said he would like to see a Makerspace at the middle school as well.

Resident Mary Keane said she felt the class was quite valuable and informative.

“I came in knowing absolutely nothing,” she said.

However, by the end of the class, Keane said she had learned how to send an email, how to take a picture and how to check the weather.

“I’m ver y happy, I’ll go home and practice this stuff,” she said.

Resident Frank Walsh said he teaches similar classes at

the Senior Center.

“I’ve got tons of experience with it,” he said. “A lot of these things are fun to use once you get used to it. It’s great, people are really enthusiastic.”

Walsh also said he really enjoyed the iPad-controlled robots that students used during the fall open house and suggested the possibility of hosting a triathlon in the future.

House approves Representative Jones’ early voting amendment Lynnfield in line to receive $1,819.70 in compensation for unfunded state mandate

B

OSTON – Ly n n f i e l d is poised to receive $1,819.70 in compensation to offset the costs associated with implementing the state’s early voting law, thanks to an amendment filed by House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. (R-North Reading).

R e p r e s e n t a t i v e J o n e s’ amendment would provide more than $1 million in reimbursement to cities and towns across the Commonwealth to cover certain costs that were incurred during the November 2016 state election cycle.The amendment was approved unanimously by the House of Representatives on January 31 as part of a $17.6 million supplemental budget, but still requires Senate approval and Governor Baker’s signature before the money can be released.

“Over the past year, I have made it a personal priority to ensure that our cities and towns receive compensation for what was essentially a state-imposed unfunded mandate,” said Representative Jones.“I’m hopeful the Senate will act quickly to pass this proposal so we can deliver this funding to Lynnfield without any further delays.”

Enacted in 2014, the Massachusetts early voting law allows registered voters to cast a ballot as early as 11 business days prior to election day, and up to two business days before the election, every two years during the biennial state election.More than 1 million early votes were cast during the 2016 election.

Although the Third Essex District is four times the size of his current district, Crighton said he is looking forward to the change.

“It’s considerably larger, but it’s exciting,” he said. “ We have a month until the March 6 [general] election and we’re trying to meet as many people as we can.”

Crighton said some of the issues currently facing the Third Essex District include education, transportation, jobs and the opioid crisis.

Planning Board hears Definitive Plan proposal for Zepaj Lane

By Christopher Roberson

W

hile presenting the proposed Definitive Plan for the Zepaj Lane subdivision, Project Manager John Ogren of Hayes Engineering spoke to the Planning Board about a sidewalk waiver, traffic study results and the length of the cul-de-sac. During the Jan. 31 meeting, Ogren asked that the board not require a sidewalk on both sides of the street, saying there is already a sidewalk on Green Street that runs right up to the subdivision’s property line.

Regarding the traffic study, Ogren said the nine singlefamily homes would generate seven trips in the morning and nine trips in the evening. “In terms of traffic generation, it’s fairly minimal,” he said. Ogren also said the proposed length of the cul-de-sac continues to be 419 feet.

In response, Town Engineer Charles Richter urged the board to deny the sidewalk waiver. He said that for safety reasons, the Department of Public Works needs a sidewalk on both sides of Zepaj Lane.

Planning Board Member Katherine Flaws agreed and said the sidewalk waiver should not be granted. Planning Board Clerk Charles Wills asked if any other sidewalk waivers had been granted for prior projects. Chairman Brian Charville told Ogren that the board had established its position. “The consensus here is that the sidewalks won’t be waived,” he said.

Speaking about the results of the traffic study, Richter said there needs to be a greater emphasis on the Green Street/ Route 1 intersection. “The biggest problem is merging off

of Route 1 onto Green Street,” he said.

Therefore, Charville asked Ogren for a more in-depth analysis of the Green Street/ Route 1 intersection. “It’s something we can do fairly easily,” said Ogren.

In addition, Member Scott Gromko said the traffic assessment numbers seem low. “It seems odd to me; I think most families have more than one car,” he said.

Richter also asked about electrical service and whether or not the three adjacent Approval Not Required lots are part of the development.

In terms of installation, the board members agreed that the power lines should be underground to the greatest extent possible.

Green Street resident Danielle Berdahn said she did not hear any discussion about replacing the trees that were taken down. “It’s important, it has completely changed the character of the neighborhood,” she said. Berdahn also showed the board members pictures of what her neighborhood used to look like with trees and what it looks like now without them.

Broadway resident Cheryl McGrath shared similar pictures with the board. “This is completely bare now, whereas before I couldn’t see anything,” she said.

Ogren said his plan is to put 27 trees back on the site. However, Charville said he would like to see more trees. “Twentyseven trees feels insufficient,” he said. “Going above and beyond the minimum would go a long way with this board.”

The board will take up the matter again at its Feb. 28 meeting.

Sallee also said that middle school is where students encounter their first serious peer conflicts. “That’s the first time they’ve dealt with that; they don’t know what to do,” he said.

Bates said the biggest issues at the high school are sex education, vaping and mental health. “Three students have been hospitalized for suicide attempts,” he said, adding that six students try to take their own lives each school year.

as a way to remain calm with the false belief that it is safer than cigarettes. He said being caught with a vaping device will trigger a suspension from school and will also be reported to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association. He said those two actions have done the

trick. “We’ve had zero repeat offenders,” he said.

Lastly, Bates said students reached out to the administration asking for additional sex education curriculum. In response, he said, his physical education teachers are in the process of fulfilling that request.

REMINDER | FROM PAGE 5 The AP Program is a series of college-level courses and exams for secondary school students. All AP exams (except Studio Art) contain both multiple-choice questions and freeresponse questions that require essay writing, problemsolving and other skills. The length of the examinations varies from 2 1/2--3 hours. Every examination receives an overall grade on a five-point scale:

5 (extremely well qualified), 4 (well qualified), 3 (qualified), 2 (possible qualified) and 1 (no recommendation). Over 90% of the colleges that most AP candidates have attended give credit and/or advanced placement to students whose AP Examination grades are considered acceptable.

Pioneers hockey team loses battle for first place with rival Newburyport Lynnfield winds down regular-season schedule with six games left before the postseason

By Joe Mitchell

T

he Lynnfield High School boys’ hockey team (9-3-1 overall, 5-2-1 in the Cape Ann League) lost just twice so far this year in the Cape Ann League, and both times it was against the Newburyport Clippers, authors of a 12-game unbeaten streak. But the Pioneers have to think they are snake-bitten when they play their worthy league foes, especially in their latest battle last Saturday at Newburyport’s Graf Arena. The home team ended up

winning this latest classic, 2-0.

However, it was just a 1-0 game throughout until they were able to seal the deal with an empty net goal, and at that point there was only three seconds left on the clock.

“It was once again an evenly played game,” said coach John Gardner. “We had our opportunities. We hit the post and missed an open net among them while they scored the game-winner, when the puck deflected off of one of our defenseman’s skates.”

It was a scoreless first period before Newburyport broke the ice two minutes into the middle stanza via that deflected fortuitous chance.

The Lynnfield boys had three power play opportunities, but two of them were negated quickly when they were whistled for an infraction.

“We really played well in the first and third periods, but in the second period Newburyport was able to hem us in while controlling the play,” said Gardner. “But overall, we still had

enough chances to score at least two goals to beat them.”

Lynnfield had to kill a penalty late in the game, but once they did they didn’t have much time to set up one last-ditch effort to tie the score after pulling goalie Aidan Kelly for an extra skater, as a result of 20 seconds inexplicably not being accounted for on the clock.

“I’m naturally disappointed in the result, but certainly not in the way we played,” said Gardner.

Newburyport narrowly out-

shot the Pioneers, 22-20. Kelly once again did his job to keep his teammates in the game.

“In games like this, we need to learn how to finish off our scoring plays,” said Gardner.

Lynnfield was back at the Graf on Feb. 8 (after press deadline), when they took on the Triton Vikings, before heading to the Valley Forum in Haverhill on Saturday to face Masco, starting at 3:55 p.m. After the weekend, they will have five games left on the regular-season schedule.

Basketball Pioneers take down Georgetown to remain in contention for the top spot in the CAL

By Joe Mitchell

T

he Lynnfield High School boys’ basketball team is cruising along with a 13-3 record after its latest win, this time over Georgetown Monday night, 67-59.

Coach Scott MacKenzie’s squad is not thinking about the Division 3 North state tournament just yet, because there’s still a matter of a regular season title at stake with four games remaining on the schedule.

Daniel Jameson was the team’s leading scorer versus Georgetown with 20 points that included five three-point bombs. Billy Arsenault, the sparkplug in the backcourt, was next in line with 18 points.

Zach Shone also ended up in double figures with 15 points.

The Pioneers also controlled the inside game with the presence of Matt Mortellite in the paint to pull down rebounds.

The school’s all-star quarterback throughout the last two years grabbed 11 boards against the Royals to lead in that department. He also contributed five points to the winning cause.

The game was close in the first half, with the Lynnfield boys holding a slim 32-31 lead at intermission. The game still remained close in the third quarter. Going into the final frame, Lynnfield was ahead by two this time, 45-43. But then, they heated up with more consistent production among a handful of players.

Following the win over the Royals, the Pioneers will take on host Triton Friday night, Feb. 9. They will then be heading to Danvers to face the Falcons on Valentine’s night. Newburyport comes to town Feb. 16 to play the local quintet, before they face host Melrose Feb. 19 to complete the regular season.

The Pioneers then participated in the Haverhill Tournament on Saturday, Feb. 3. They lost to the host team, 62-18, and Merrimack, N.H., 51-27. But they did defeat Shepard Hill, 3018, and then Cambridge, 3024. “We were 2-2 on the day, which was considerably better than our 0-4 performance in Haverhill last year,” Stone said. “Our team has continued to improve each day, and the energy and enthusiasm is also very high. A total of 10 out of

14 weight classes are being filled by freshmen and sophomores this year. They have faced adversity all season long, and each has become a better wrestler, and we have become a better team.”

Against Haverhill, Bedell (win by forfeit), Wilkinson (win by forfeit, 1:09) and Farrelly (win by fall) all came through with triumphs. “Haverhill is a strong Division 1 program with an entire team of returning varsity wrestlers, and a number of re-

turning sectional place finishers from last year,” said Stone after this dual meet match.

Against Shepard Hill, Bird (win by fall, 1:06), Bedell (win by fall, 0:45), Metrano (win by fall, 0:40), Nik Marotta (160 pounds, win by fall, 2:39) and Wilkinson (win by fall, 1:12) led their teammates to victory in Haverhill by winning five out of the eight matches that were on tap.

House 153-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill requiring the governor’s Executive Office of Health and Human Service to assess all current state programs that address Alzheimer’s disease and create and maintain an integrated state plan to overcome the illness.

The plan would include accelerating the development of treatments that would prevent, halt or reverse the disease; helping to coordinate the health care and treatment of individuals with the disease; ensuring the inclusion of ethnic and racial populations, who have a higher risk or are the least likely to receive care for the disease; and implementing a strategy to increase the diagnostic rate.

Another provision requires doctors, physician assistants and nurses to complete a onetime course of training and education on the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other cognitive impairments.

The measure also creates an Advisory Council on Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment to work with closely with state agencies and the Legislature.

“Alzheimer’s disease is a growing epidemic. It’s impacting hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts residents,” said Jim Wessler, President and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association, Massachusetts/New Hampshire Chapter.

Supporters said that this disease affects more than 120,000 people in the Bay State and according to the Alzheimer’s Association, that number is projected to increase by 25 percent to 150,000 by 2025. They argued deaths from Alzheimer’s have nearly doubled from 2000 to 2014 and it is time for the state to step up to the plate and lead the way in the care for people with Alzheimer’s and in the fight to eradicate it.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Supporters said dealers switched to online recordkeeping years ago but under this antiquated law are still required to also maintain this hand-written book which duplicates what is online and is a waste of the dealer’s time. They said they don’t know of a single case in the past few decades in which a law enforcement official has asked to see this book.

(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 29-February 2, the House met for a total of 10 hours and 55 minutes while the Senate met for a total of three hours and 35 minutes.

“That’s momentous, that’s something we can really feel good about,” she said.

Board Member Russell Boekenkroeger suggested applying for a $750,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, which could be used to bolster the library’s genealogy collection. “It may be worthwhile to pursue,” he said, adding that the application deadline is March 15.

In addition, Mercer said much of Lynnfield’s oral history still exists on cassette tapes.

Mercer also said Saturday Story Time will resume on March 10 for preschool students. A Gizmos and Gadgets workshop will also be held in March, primarily for senior citizens to learn about newer technology, such as the Amazon Echo.

Savvy Senior

Baby Boomers Finding Companionship Online Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about online dating for baby boomers? I’m 57 and recently divorced, and would like to find a new friend to spend time with.

Lonely Linda Dear Linda, Whether you’re interested in dating again or just looking for a friend to spend time with, online dating sites have become a very popular and effective way for baby boomers to meet new single people.

Making new friends can be challenging as we get older, which is why online dating sites are an excellent option for baby boomers. They provide an easy and convenient way to meet dozens of new people, without ever having to leave home. And, to make things even easier, many sites today use matchmaking algorithms that factor in your interests and preferences so they can steer you to matches that are best suited for you. Here are some other tips to help you get started.

Choose a site or two: There are literally hundreds of different matchmaking websites and apps available, so choosing can be a bit confusing. Costs typically range between $15 and $20 per month, however some dating sites are completely free to use. Depending on your preferences here are some popular options to look into.

If you don’t want to spend any money, free sites like OKCupid.com and PlentyofFish.com are good places to start, but these sites have a lot of advertising. There are also free apps like Tinder (GoTinder.com) and Bumble.com, but these tend to be geared toward younger adults looking for casual romance.

If you’re interested in lots of choices consider Match.com, which has a huge membership in all demographics. Or checkout eHarmony.com, which is also very large but more targeted for people who want to take things slow.

Or, if you are looking to find a specific type of person, there are hundreds of niche sites like: OurTime.com, SeniorPeopleMeet.com and 50more.com for those 50 and older; EliteSingles.com for professionals; DateMyPet.com for animal lovers; VeggieDate.org for vegetarians; JDate.com for Jewish singles; BlackPeopleMeet.com for African Americans; and ChristianMingle.com for Christians.

Create a profile: When you join a matchmaking site you’ll need to create a personality profile that reflects who you are, including recent photos, hobbies, interests, favorite activities and more. If you need some help, sites like ProfileHelper.com can write one for you for a fee.

Use caution: When you register with a site you remain anonymous. No one gets access to your personal contact information until you decide to give it out, so be prudent whom you give it to. Before meeting, you should chat on the phone or video chat a few times, and when you do meet in person for the first time, meet in a public place or bring a friend along. And if someone asks for money, don’t send it.

Online dating/sweetheart scams are out there so be aware.

If you want to be extra cautious, you can even do a quick background check on your date at MyMatchChecker.com.

Don’t be naive: In an effort to get more responses, many people will exaggerate or flat out lie in their profiles, or post pictures that are 10 years old or 20 pounds lighter. So don’t believe everything you see or read.

Make an effort: A lot of times, people – especially women – sit back and let others come to them. Don’t be afraid to make the first move. When you find someone you like, send a short note that says, “I really enjoyed your profile. I think we have some things in common.” Keep it simple.

Don’t get discouraged: If you don’t get a response from someone, don’t let it bother you. Just move on. There are many others that will be interested in you and it only takes one person to make online dating worthwhile.

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.
