Selectmen praise pipeline scrapping; Crawford warns it could come up again By Bill Laforme Many town residents were glad to learn last month that Kinder Morgan had dropped its proposal to build a large natural gas pipeline running through numerous communities, including Lynnfield. Residents who opposed the plan were concerned that the pipeline would damage town water supplies and wetlands, while also tearing up some front yards around the North Hill Drive area. Opponents of the pipeline also suspected the project was designed more for the export of natural gas than for local supplies. “I applaud all the people who worked on the opposition,” said Board of Selectmen Chairman Phil Crawford, in a recent conversation with the Lynnfield Advocate. Crawford also said that the decision to scrap the pipeline “didn’t come out of nowhere.” Last month he was among
the local officials who spoke in Lynnfield before a state panel assessing the impact of the proposed pipeline. He noted at the time that he had recently made a call to Kinder Morgan’s Boston office, only to learn from a former worker that the local staff – primarily contractors – had been let go, and that expenditures had apparently stopped on the pipeline project. Crawford said he brought this up at the state hearing after realizing that nobody else seemed to be aware of that information. “Nobody brought it up,” said Crawford. Crawford also expressed concern that town residents might not have seen the last of the pipeline project. He pointed out that applications had already been filed with the state Department of Public Utilities, and also with the Federal Energy

Breen: Traffic enforcement up this year, officers diligent on patrols By Bill Laforme This week the Lynnfield Advocate checked in with Police Chief David Breen to discuss some of the traffic and public safety issues the town has dealt with. For many residents, traffic – especially around the Walnut Street area – has been one of their primary complaints over the past couple of years. A couple of public forums were even held on the issue. B r e e n s a i d t h a t t r a ff i c enforcement has been going very well in town, especially in the areas that have been the subject of resident complaints. “We’ve really addressed Walnut Street very heavily,” said Breen. The chief also reported that as of the first week of May, Lynnfield Police had increased their traffic enforcement actions by 37% over the same five month period in 2015. So far this year, police have issued 1,102 tickets or other enforcement actions, compared to 691 for that time
period last year. Breen also noted that annual increases like that will be difficult to sustain in the longer term. The department’s traffic enforcement is going well despite it still being somewhat shorthanded. Breen said that he expects to get a recruit into the police academy this fall, and he is also considering the addition of a veteran officer from elsewhere. Also, Officer Ray Barnes has been out with an injury. Speaking of Barnes, he is also the town’s K9 officer. Until he returns, the K9 program is on hold, because Barnes is the only officer with the months of training required to work with the dog. One relatively common crime in Lynnfield is breakins, especially those involving vehicles. Sometimes, if the culprit happens to live in town, police can develop leads by analyzing the locations of the break-ins, and in turn, potentially identify a suspect. Such patterns emerge less frequently when a suspect
David Breen Police Chief
comes in from another town to commit break-ins. Breen said that officers on the night shift are diligent about stopping to talk with people out late at night who might seem out of place – while also taking care that their rights are respected. Breen also recalled how a couple of years ago, Officer Anthony Hnath caught a suspect who had actually just broken into his car. After the individual provided some inconsistent answers to Hnath, Breen said that Hnath performed a search and pulled his own cellphone, just stolen from his car, from a bag the suspect had with him. Regarding MarketStreet Lynnfield, Breen said that things are mostly the same as far as law enforcement goes, in part because of the regular police detail presence there. Breen said that after some problems with juveniles

from Saugus at MarketStreet, School Resource Officer Patrick Curran worked with school officials in that town to identify the individuals and have no-trespass orders issued to them. In general, Breen said that the notrespass order is an effective tool for keeping MarketStreet family-friendly and clear of troublemakers. Looking ahead for the Lynnfield Police Department, Breen is enthusiastic about the new Emergency Responders Information Network (ERIN), an initiative that aims to provide first responders with potentially critical information about individuals with special needs who need police or fire department assistance. The voluntary initiatives were unveiled last month, and at this point very few other places have comparable programs. The initiative works by inviting parents of people
with autism or other special needs to identify any issues that police or fire personnel might encounter when called to their home – such as an aversion to flashing lights or to a large number of people in the room. Breen noted that, in general, many first responders have had very little training in working with autistic people and others with special needs. When the ERIN initiative was first announced, Breen, Fire Chief Mark Boudreau and town resident Daniel McIntyre had a focus on providing dispatchers with information, and also on providing first responders with some valuable new training. Now, Breen said, there will be a third component to the ERIN program, which is to try to help educate parents and caregivers on the various programs they might be eligible for.

Centre Farm sale likely to be completed this summer By Bill Laforme Several weeks ago, Town Meeting voters gave their approval to a warrant article authorizing the Board of Selectmen to se l l th e hi sto ri c C e n tre Farm property in Lynnfield Center. The property had been acquired after a s p e c i a l To w n M e e t i n g vote where residents acted to preserve the character of the town center after learning that the property could conceivably be sold, torn down and replaced with several house lots. The town briefly looked at possible uses for the property before deciding that the best way to proceed was to sell it to a private b u y e r, w i t h h i s t o r i c a l preservation restrictions attached. The restrictions will require state and town approval before significant exterior changes can be made to the home. Earlier this spring, Lynnfield resident Steve Migliero stepped forward as a prospective buyer for the property, one who would live there with his family – a scenario originally hoped for by the town when it set out to acquire the property. Before the town can sell
t h e p r o p e r t y ; h o w e v e r, the transaction must go through the request for proposal (RFP) process. Town Administrator Jim Boudreau told the Lynnfield Advocate that details must still reportedly be worked out between the Lynnfield Historical Commission and the prospective buyer. Two weeks before opening the bid process, the town will advertise the RFP in the state’s Central Register and also in local media. The RFP will be very similar to one last year that did not attract a bidder, and it will include the historical preservation restrictions still to be finalized. The town will accept the offer from the highest responsible bidder – which means the bids must comply with all the terms of the RFP. Given the unique nature of Centre Farm and the preservation restrictions that will come with it, Boudreau said he expects few bidders. He added that it takes a special person to be willing to purchase and renovate such a property, and that Lynnfield is lucky to possibly have such a buyer. “By the time summer ’s o v e r, w e s h o u l d b e divested of that property,” said Boudreau.

A glance back at Lynnfield’s Libraries By Helen Breen
With an overwhelming “yea” by a capacity crowd at Town Meeting on April 25, the townspeople endorsed Article #20. This warrant approved the preliminary schematic plan for a new library, designed by William Rawn Associates, to be built on the site of the old Danforth House adjacent to Reedy Meadow Golf Course on Summer Street. The yes vote also gives the Lynnfield Library Trustees permission to apply for the next Massachusetts
Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) Construction Grant in 2017, which could cover between 40-60% of the cost. The question of local funding will only arise if the library wins the construction grant. As the prospect of a new library looms on the horizon, let us pause and reflect on the history of libraries in Lynnfield as described in Marcia Wilson Wiswall’s “Lynnfield, a heritage preserved, 18951976,” and the Lynnfield Public Library website. 1795-1890 – A series of Lizzie Green enters the The Chipman House, located at 553 Salem St., served Library, originally Center as South Lynnfield’s first library. (Warren F. Falls photo) School. That part of the library still serves as the Children’s Room. (Photo by Roger Gerry, published in Warren H. Falls’s “Lynnfield”)
small private libraries existed in Lynnfield, such as one at the home of Reverend Joseph Mottey at Centre Farm and a “Social Library” kept in various homes, one of which finally succumbed to fire destroying the collection. 1890 – Massachusetts offered $100 to any town which would match that sum to start a free public library. 1892-1905 – Lynnfield’s Li- Architect’s plan for 1959 addition to the Lynnfield brary was housed in the “new Library, which proved totally inadequate. Town Hall” built in 1892. Miss Lizzie Green, then 18, was appointed librarian and would serve in that capacity for an astonishing 65 years. 1905 – When the “new” Center School was built (present site of Center Village) on Main Street, the “old” Center School became the public library under Miss Green’s direction. 1922 – A branch library was opened at 630 Salem St.,
The South Lynnfield Branch Library on Salem Street, built in 1922, was closed in the early 1980s (from “Lynnfield, a heritage preserved, 1895-1976,” editor Marcia Wilson Wiswall). now the office of the Lynnfield Water District. Before that a number of South Lynnfield residents housed the libraries in their own homes. At one point books were transferred weekly from the south end of town to the Center by a local grocer. 1950 – Finally, a furnace system and bathrooms were installed in the Center Library. Fortunately, Lizzie Green’s home was next door (where the Center Congregational Church now stands) so she could run home as needed. 1959 – An addition of 700 square feet to the existing library proved totally inad-
equate as Lynnfield’s population exploded. 1963 – At Town Meeting a request for $232,995 to build and equip a new library was narrowly defeated. The next year it passed, eliminating the expense of a cupola and central air conditioning. 1967 – Another more spacious addition with a dramatic Palladian window was opened with much fanfare. 2016 – Now a half century later, a new Lynnfield Public Library is on the drawing boards, subject to the awarding of a construction grant and the approval of a future Town Meeting.

The James “OD” O’Donnell memorial marker By Bill Laforme A flagpole in memory of Lynnfield High School graduate John “OD” O’Donnell was rededicated on Saturday morning in a more prominent location next to the school baseball field following the completion of the fields project. On hand were members of the O’Donnell family and various town officials to remember a sports enthusiast who died in 2003, soon after his graduation. For a decade afterward, the O’Donnell family coordinated OD’s Memorial Run/Walk, raising funds for two annual scholarships: OD’s True Pioneer Scholarship and the John M. O’Donnell Memorial Scholarship. John’s mother, Debbie, said that at the time of his death, many people in town wanted to make memorial donations, which were given to the Lynnfield Athletic Association, which works to provide equipment for LHS athletic programs. Fields Committee Chairman Arthur Bourque opened the ceremony, stating that the location of the memorial stone and flagpole for John had some significance given John’s love of baseball. “It’s a fitting tribute to a young man who was a vibrant part of the Lynnfield High School community,” said Bourque. Bourque said that if John was present today, like so many LHS graduates, he would be looking at the new athletic fields in disbelief at the accomplishments, “And I’m sure he’d be shocked that there’s a stone memorializing him as well.” The selection of a flagpole to memorialize O’Donnell was also fitting, his family said, since he was very patriotic. John’s dad, John O’Donnell, noted that the location of his
son’s memorial was the perfect spot. “There’s no better way to honor our Johnny’s memory than to raise the American flag,” he said. “And thank you, all who have taken part in this field’s improvement project – awesome job.” O’Donnell’s b r o t h e r, J o e , s a i d t h a t before the memorial flagpole was initially raised back in 2003, players would pledge allegiance to a flag draped on the outfield fence. O’Donnell’s other brother, Dan, added that the family was grateful to the town for the memorial flagpole and its dedication. LHS tennis and wrestling Coach Craig Stone knew John throughout his youth and high school wrestling c a r e e r, r e c a l l i n g J o h n ’s senior year achievement of the Coaches Award. “He was remembered for his camaraderie, his enthusiasm, his encouragement and his unflagging support of his coaches and teammates,” said Stone. In 2004 the John O’Donnell Team Sportsmanship Award was established in his honor, and in each year since, the team has recognized the teammate that best exemplifies those characteristics that John demonstrated each day, both on and off the mat, stated Coach Stone. Senior Capt. Zack Monzione was this year’s recipient. “I’m very pleased and proud that we have gathered here today to honor John’s memory on the baseball diamond – a sport John truly loved to play – and also demonstrated those values that we all hold so dear,” said Stone. By all accounts, O’Donnell loved sports throughout his life, both professionally and with fellow students – lettering in football and wrestling for the Pioneers –

LHS students visit MakerLab during MIT field trip
The Lynnfield High School student Help Desk attended a field trip to MIT on Tuesday, May 3, 2016. Janice Alpert, the Library Media Specialist and Kathleen Dario, IT coordinator brought students to MIT. Thanks to Robert Fadel who works at MIT, students were able to visit the MIT IS&T Computing Help Desk / Service Desk. Students were given a tour and met the director of the help desk and were able to see firsthand what specific issues were handled by the MIT help desk. LHS students also visited the Adaptive Technology for Information and Computing (ATIC) lab. Here students learned about a variety of assertive technologies available to MIT students such as an electronic reader for visually impaired students, vertical mice and an assortment of assistive keyboards. The last and the most exciting part for the students were visiting the IMES MakerLab, just one of many of the Makerspaces at MIT. LHS students were able to create manual (without electricity) nebulizers using tubing and bike pumps and also experimented with the laser cutter. For the LHS students, this was a truly authentic hands-onlearning experience. Follow the LHS blog at https://lhshelpdesk. com/. LHS students are shown with chaperones at a class field trip to MIT’s MakerLab in Cambridge on Tuesday.

Townscape proud of many accomplishments; looks forward to Geraniumfest/”Kid’s Day,” May 21 Dear Fellow Lynnfield Residents, Some of you may be wondering about the blue ribbons you’ve seen trailing off trees around the Common, on Summer Street, near Pillings Pond, on Main Street and in several other localities around town. Ahead of Arbor Day, members of Townscape went around town, “tagging” trees Townscape has fundraised for and planted over the past 30 years. In fact, Townscape has planted over 1,000 trees since its inception in 1985, so the “tagged” trees were just a select few of those planted through Townscape’s efforts. Over the years, we have planted “memorial” trees, such as the Al Merritt Memo-
rial Tree in front of Lynnfield’s Town Hall; rare trees, such as the Sequoia trees near Pillings Pond and the Japanese Maple near Main Street in the town center; and many, many trees to replace those torn down by construction or lost to age and weather conditions. Townscape went out to tag a selection of these trees so that our fellow residents would have an opportunity to perceive the fundraising and work we are doing each year, along with the Tree Committee and the Department of Public Works, to contribute to both the tree canopy in town as well as to the aesthetic of this “Tree City, USA.” For many residents, these ribbons signify that it is also time to pre-order their
discounted premium flowers from Townscape in anticipation of its upcoming Geraniumfest fundraiser! This year, the same is true – our flower pre-orders (of red, white, pink, salmon and magenta geraniums, as well as red and pink “knock out” rose bushes) continue through May 6th. Forms to order these flowers remain available at the Post Offices, Town Hall, Library and at Wakefield Cooperative Bank, as well as for download on our website: www.townscapelynnfield. org. After that, our premium flowers will only be for sale the day of Geraniumfest, only at Lynnfield Middle School, starting at 8 AM on Saturday, May 21st.
Residents should note: Geraniumfest is not just for geraniums anymore! Choose from many flowering garden favorites from a local Sudbury farm. Flowering rose bushes, fresh garden herbs, and annual flowering plants will be a highlight this year! Don’t forget to come early for the best selection! 100% of profits from Geraniumfest go towards our “Trees Silo,” fully funding all tree plantings and replacements, as well as some other work we do each year. And stay tuned for improvements at Forest Hill Cemetery later this spring, to include a privacy tree wall along Essex Street. We are proud of our participation in this effort, as well!
We hope to see many of our fellow residents at Geraniumfest, happening alongside “Kids Day,” our kids fair, on Saturday, May 21st at Lynnfield Middle School. We are also running a Facebook contest on our Facebook page in which anyone who shares a photo of themselves or their child in front of a tree with a blue ribbon, with the hashtag #townscapekidsday will be entered for one free registration into Kids Day! Many thanks for your ongoing support of our mission and efforts within the community! Sincerely, Kathryn Price Director of Communications, Townscape Lynnfield
Former selectman praises opponents of pipeline
Dear Friends, I want to congratulate the North Hill Drive homeowners who stood up to Kinder Morgan and organized to protect their homes and neighborhood. I also want to bring up the fact that when I was your Selectman, I asked many times what was going on with the Kinder Morgan Pipeline and received no definitive answers from our town hall administration. It was not until August 10 th , when I attended a meeting a t P e a b o d y ’s To w n H a l l did I get definitive answers on the pending route of this high pressure pipeline was taking. The NED Stop the Pipeline Organization presented a map that clearly laid out a route for the intended high pressure pipeline to run through the following areas in Lynnfield: • Through Lynnfield Center Water Districts Water Supply • Through Lynnfield’s wetlands • Through North Hill Drive residents’ yards What was most disturbing to me was, Phil Crawford knew of the high pressure gas pipeline (this pipeline would be of the highest pressure and largest impact that Lynnfield has seen) and met with Kinder Morgan, resulting in the pipeline being rerouted from one area of North Hill Drive, to another. WHAT I THINK IS
APPALLING … He notified one person that the pipeline was rerouted away from their home, but did not notify those that were now impacted from the pending route. I ask, “Why one person would be held with such high regards, when others were neglected?” As your selectman, I was committed to representing all people and worked to treat all Lynnfield residents fair and equitably. S e c o n d l y, w h y w a s n ’ t Ly n n f i e l d C e n t e r Wa t e r Department raising any concerns? I was the first one to point out this pipeline was headed directly for our wells that services many Lynnfield homes. After a Selectman Meeting, the Center Water District did meet with Kinder Morgan to re-route this high pressure pipeline. For that I thank you, but question what would have happened if this issue was not brought to the public’s attention. Third, our Conservation Commission did not publicly oppose this proposed pipeline that was traveling through two of Lynnfield’s protected wetlands. Other cities and towns were fighting hard, while Lynnfield’s administration stayed quiet. With the courageous StopNED Coalition and i n p a r t i c u l a r, C a t h y K r i s t o ff e r s o n a n d P a u l a Te r r a s i , L y n n f i e l d
residents were educated and empowered. This organization’s knowledge and passion gave us the guidance to organize and reach out to state and local government to aid in the defeat of this pipeline initiative. For this, I thank you on behalf of many Lynnfield residents. As a prior elected official
and a private citizen, I am proud to have led Lynnfield’s residents in our opposition of Kinder Morgan’s high pressure pipeline. Moving forward, we all need to pay attention to potential development and changes that may affect our homes and way of life. It is clear; “big business” has a keen eye on profiting from Lynnfield’s
lands. YOUR VOICE is important and you can make a difference in maintaining our great town and protecting its future. It was a pleasure serving the wonderful people of Lynnfield and meeting so many committed people to our great town. Signed, Tom Terranova

Lynnfield LAXmen pass the test against two formidable CAL foes
MEET THE 2016 LHS LACROSSE PIONEERS: Shown back row, left to right, are; Trevor Caswell, Kingsley Corona, Brendan Rothwell, Richard Johnson, Max Robert, CJ Finn, Jack Ganter, Kyle Hawes, Patrick Garrity, Matthew Miller, Jesse Valway, Ryan Freitas, James Whelan, Anthony Coletta. Shown front row, same order, are; David Mineo, Nicholas Moreschi, Nicholas Kinnon, Nicolas Metrano, Peter Look, Tyler Murphy, John Caruso, Gregory Miles, Jack Razzaboni, and Ryan Frasier. By Joe Mitchell The Lynnfield High School boys’ lacrosse team – 6-1 overall, 3-1 in the Cape Ann League (CAL) – faced their toughest test of the young season this past week against CAL foes Pentucket and Masco. The Pioneers didn’t waste any time going on offense in the Pentucket game with 10 first quarter shots, three of them by senior captain Patrick Garrity, who also scored an unassisted goal three minutes into the opening frame, when he drove through three defenders before beating its goalie with a perfectly placed shot to the top right corner of the net. With their starting attack out of the lineup, the Pioneers went with sophomore Nick Metrano, and Metrano didn’t disappoint,
scoring the team’s next two goals. “Nick was given the opportunity to start for us, and he really came through,” coach Joe Papagni said. “He’s a bit shifty and cagey around the net, and Garrity fed him with a pass as he sneaked in from behind the net to give his teammates a two-goal lead at the time, and then senior Matt Miller found him a few minutes later to give us a 3-0 lead after one quarter.” The stalwart Lynnfield defense did a good job keeping the Sachems away from goalie Jack Ganter in the first quarter. He only had to face four shots. Senior C.J. Finn found the back of the Pentucket net twice during the second quarter, but Pentucket was also able to
crank up its offense, and proceeded to score two second quarter goals to trim the deficit to three. Lynnfield enjoyed a 5-2 lead at halftime, but Papagni still reminded his players that this was a very important league game, not to mention an historic opportunity to begin a season at 6-0 for the first time in the history of the program. The Pioneers maintained the pressure in the second half with 25 more shots. Garrity, Metrano, Finn, Miller and Kinnon opened up the offense, though many of their chances either went high or wide. “We have to work on our ‘finishing abilities,’” said Papagni. “We‘re creating a lot of opportunities, but not finishing with a goal.” Garrity, Metrano and Finn

eventually finished with goals to help secure the win, while Ganter did his part with 13 saves. Garrity (3 goals, 3 assists); Mertano (3 goals); Finn (2 goals); Miller (2 assists) and Kinnon (1 assist) helped pace the offensive attack against Pentucket. “It means so much to our team when we put in a replacement and he comes through as much as Nick did in this game. It just keeps the team competing all the time for playing time, and really keeps them hungry,” said Papagni. Masco was next up. The Pioneers have never beaten the Chieftains in their 13 years of existence as a varsity program. “[Masco] have always been a very good program, and are one of the original lacrosse teams in the state that began playing back in the 1970s,” Papagni said. “But we were still confident going into this game.” Early on, Masco controlled the play. They possessed the ball in the offensive zone throughout the first half, but scored only once. “Our defense – Caswell, Robert, Coletta, Rothwell, Miles and Ganter – did a great job of forcing the Chieftains to take shots from outside, which Ganter easily handled,” Papagni said. The Lynnfield offense then started to come to life. The locals had a flurry of 10 quick shots in the last three minutes of the half, but none hit the net. The pressure was there though the accuracy was a bit off, according to Papagni. The Chieftains scored their second goal early on in the second half with a man up. But the Pioneers had already shown that they could compete with Masco. Garrity and Miller were credited with good scoring opportunities, although it
was Kinnon who eventually scored from 10 feet out on the left wing. The Lynnfield attack continued, but the offense could not get that tying goal. But the Chieftains did score their third goal of the game, but Lynnfield was not done. Garrity ended up driving past three Masco defenders to make things rather interesting, while trimming the deficit to one, 3-2. Masco had another man-up opportunity and was able to beat Ganter from close range to regain the cushion. The Pioneers got a spark from that Masco goal, and Garrity (not to be denied) made his way past a Masco defender before being tackled; that caused a Masco penalty. After working the ball around for 40 seconds, Miller found Garrity and Pat was able to beat the Masco goalie again to bring his teammates to within a goal at 4-3. Masco did a good job of controlling the ball in the Lynnfield end, and was able to capitalize with its fifth goal. But Jack Razzaboni won the ensuing face-off, and hit Garrity with a pass as he was streaking down the middle of the Masco defense, before trimming the deficit to one for the last time, 5-4. The Pioneers had over 30 shots on the Masco net, but couldn’t capitalize. “We had our chances, but the shots didn’t hit the net enough times,” Papagni said. “But we’ll be OK.” Ganter ended up with 13 saves to keep things close against Masco. Garrity (3 goals, 1 assist) and Kinnon (1 goal) helped pace the attack. After facing Georgetown on May 3 (after press deadline), they will be taking on host Triton on Friday, May 6.

Shown bottom row from left to right, are; Leigh Guerra, Olivia DeLuca, Abigail Weaver, Annika Han, and Hayley O’Brien. (Advocate photo by Ross Scabin) By The Advocate The Lynnfield High School softball team has played nine games to date, and they are currently 3-6. There’s still the second half of the
season to be played with many different scenarios for state tournament possibilities. The Pioneers dropped a 11-7 decision to Amesbury Tuesday afternoon, May 3.
They opened up with a win over Triton on April 11, 6-5. Pentucket then defeated them, 13-7. But the locals bounced back nicely with wins against Masco (3-2) and East Boston (12-0).
However, since then, they lost five straight against the likes of Newburyport (8-1), North Reading (5-3), Rockport (14-6), HamiltonWenham (11-6) and aforementioned Amesbury.
The Lynnfield girls will head to East Boston Friday to take on the Jets, starting at 3:45 p.m. They will then return home to prepare for Manchester Essex Wednesday at the same time.
Lynnfield girls’ lacrosse maintains winning record with win over Arlington By Joe Mitchell The Lynnfield High School girls’ lacrosse team (5-2) defeated host Arlington, 7-4, on April 27. “It was a tough, competitive game against the Spy Ponders,” said Coach Ethan Blanchette. Lynnfield took a 4-2 lead into
halftime, before Arlington cut the deficit to one (4-3) early in the second half. But the Pioneers, behind junior Caroline Buckley’s four goals, then took a commanding 7-3 lead. But the Spy Ponders scored again with seven minutes to play. The final seven minutes of the game then turned into a
defensive battle. Sophomore Julia Stephens picked up four groundballs to lead her teammates on defense, and she also added a goal for good measure. Sophomore Gracie Sperling was the leader on the team with three caused turnovers, while senior Meryl Braconnier
won three draws while also setting up two goals. Senior Maya McPherson contributed a goal and two groundballs to the winning cause, while juniors Lila Alaka and Rachel DiTullio, along with sophomores Hannah Filipe and Sperling caused multiple turnovers that forced Arlington
into numerous mistakes. They held Arlington to a season low four goals. Freshman goalie Lauren Vaccaro stopped four shots to keep her teammates ahead on the scoreboard.

• WINNING | FROM PAGE 9 But Masco was then all over them last Friday to the tune of 7-2. Lynnfield had to deal with the high-powered Chieftains and their multiple Division 1 college recruits. They were missing their Syracuse University commit, but they still had enough firepower to wreak havoc on the Pioneers. Having not faced a skilled center all year like Masco’s UMass-Amherst recruit, Lynnfield struggled to gain possession, only winning one of 11 draws in the entire game. However, despite the lopsidedness of the draws and pos-
session, Lynnfield still outshot the Chieftains, 15-11. But they were repeatedly stymied by the Masco goalie, a UMassLowell recruit. Lynnfield’s defense played exceptionally well, holding the Chieftains to the fewest shots and goals to date for them this year. Masco led at halftime, 4-1. Lynnfield had several chances to cut into the lead in the second half, but it just never materialized. Junior midfielder Lilly Patterson was the standout player on the game for the Pioneers, according to Blanchette. She

Regulatory Commission, and he suggested that the project could be seen as simply being on hold – with even the possibility that a different company could try to do it in the future. “I anticipate at some point this discussion will start up again,” said Crawford. Board of Selectmen Vice Chairman Chris Barrett called the decision “great news for the town of Lynnfield,” and he applauded the work of the locals who had worked to stop the pipeline. “This is another great example o f w h a t t h e To w n c a n accomplish when we come together to protect the best interests of our community.

Joseph D. Cataldo “YOUR FINANCIAL FOCUS”
PACE PROGRAM
Joseph D. Cataldo PACE (Program for All-inclusive Care for the Elderly), is a national comprehensive health program created to help elders remain at home as long as possible. While PACE is a valuable resource for many elders, not many family advisors are familiar with the program. There are presently 7 PACE programs in Massachusetts, each covering a different geographic area. The contact person for any of the programs will direct you appropriately based upon your address. You can also find additional information by going to the PACE website at www.npaonline.org. In order to be eligible for PACE, applicants must be 55 years of age or more, live in a PACE service area and must be certified by the state as eligible for nursing home care but able to safely remain in the community with the additional supports PACE offers. Members must also agree to receive all health services exclusively through the Elder Service Plan. While many elders are initially hesitant to give up their primary care physicians or other medical professionals, it is the interdisciplinary team model of PACE that allows each member to maximize his or her potential to remain in the community and ensures that no one falls through the cracks. PACE is jointly funded by Medicaid (2/3) and Medicare (1/3). Medicaid and Medicare each pay a set rate per member per month. The Medicare rate is dependent on the diagnosis codes of each member. Each PACE program must offer a number of “core” services and may offer elective services based on the various needs of their members. This flexibility allows each program to customize
individualized care plans designed to help each member maximize his or her potential. Interdisciplinary teams of doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists, nutritionists, and other medical staff work together to provide primary medical care, home health, adult day recreation, rehabilitation services, transportation, medications, podiatry, optometry, dental, and social services. While the majority of PACE services are provided at an adult day center to encourage socialization and activity, services are provided in the home when appropriate. Some PACE programs, such as Harbor Health, offer residence in certain assisted living facilities. In these cases, the member pays a certain portion and PACE pays the difference. PACE members never pay more than their income to live in assisted living. If nursing home care becomes necessary, it is paid for by PACE and PACE continues to coordinate the member’s care, so long as the member resides in a PACE facility. The most significant reason that PACE is appealing is that its primary goal is to provide each member with the individual supports needed to remain in the community as long as possible. Another benefit of PACE is that it is covered by Community MassHealth which does not have a transfer of asset penalty. Therefore, for those people who have not done prior planning who are suddenly faced with the need for longterm care services, PACE may serve as a viable option. The applicant can transfer assets to the “stay-at-home” spouse without any transfer penalty. The applicant can only have $2,000 in countable assets. Also, there is no 6 month deductible spenddown on medical expenses when monthly income is over $2,199 (300% of the federal benefit rate), unlike in the Frail Elder Waiver Program. The Community MassHealth application is less burdensome than the long-term care nursing home benefits application. PACE may not be for everybody but its benefits should at least be explored.

Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators’ and representatives’ votes on roll calls from the week of April 25-29.
and are simply tactics to kill the proposal without having a direct vote.

A “No” vote CAL 2016 STATE BUDGET is against the study and favors the exemption.) (H 4200) Rep. Stephan Hay Yes House 156-0, approved and sent Rep. Bradley Jones No to the Senate a $39.5 billion fiscal Rep. Theodore Speliotis 2017 budget. Yes
Supporters said the budget is a fiscally responsible and balanced one that makes vital investments in the state while continuing fiscal responsibility and not raising taxes.
Some critics said too much of the work on the budget was done behind the scenes. Here’s how it worked with the cooperation of Democrats and Republicans: Individual representatives filed dozens of proposed amendments to the budget on similar subject matter, such as the amount of state aid to cities and towns, social services and public safety. The representatives were then invited to “subject meetings” at which they pitched their proposed amendments to House leaders who then drafted “consolidated amendments” that included some of the individual representatives’ amendments while excluding others. Any legislator has the right to ask that his or her individual amendment be brought to the floor for a separate vote if the amendment is not placed in the consolidated package. The consolidated amendments were all approved unanimously. (A “Yes” vote is for the budget.) Rep. Stephan Hay Yes Rep. Bradley Jones Yes Rep. Theodore Speliotis Yes
STUDY GAS TAX EXEMPTION FOR CITIES AND TOWNS (H 4200) House 120-38, voting mostly along party lines, approved a Democratic leadership-sponsored amendment requiring the state to conduct a study of a proposal exempting cities’ and towns’ vehicles fuel purchases from the 21 cents-per-gallon gas tax. The study amendment would replace a proposal to simply exempt the fuel purchases. All Democrats except four supported the study while every GOP member opposed it and instead favored the exemption itself. Supporters of the study said the proposal is attractive but noted that the loss of revenue would impact the ability to send money back to cities and towns and could force cuts elsewhere to the budget. They also noted that the budget already provides a record increase in local aid. Opponents of the study said the exemption would save cities and towns between $10 million and $15 million that they could use to make up for local aid cuts. They also noted that none of these alleged studies are actually done
STUDY SALES TAX CUT FROM 6.25 PERCENT TO 5 PERCENT (H 4200) House 116-42, approved a Democratic leadership-sponsored amendment prohibiting a proposal reducing the sales tax from 6.25 percent to 5 percent from taking effect until the Department of Revenue studies the economic impact of the exemption.The study amendment would replace a proposal to simply lower the tax to 5 percent.All Democrats except eight supported the study while every GOP member opposed it and instead favored the reduction itself.
in local aid and cautioned that the amendment could damage the state’s bond rating and increase borrowing costs. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment requiring that up to $100 million go to local aid. A “No” vote is against the amendment.) Rep. Stephan Hay No Rep. Bradley Jones Yes Rep. Theodore Speliotis No
PUNISH “SANCTUARY” CITIES AND TOWNS (H 4200) House 34-124, rejected an amendment that would withhold local aid from any cities or towns that do not enforce federal immigration laws. The withholding would also apply to communities that have established themselves as “sanctuary” cities or towns that offer protection in a variety of ways to illegal immigrants. All Democrats except three supported the study while every GOP member opposed it and instead favored the local aid ban.

Supporters said the bill will save lives and reduce health care costs. They argued that many 18-year-olds are in high school and are a major source of providing tobacco products to younger high schoolers and middle schoolers.

Some opponents said the amendment is a mean-spirited political stunt and questioned why supporters would want to punish students by taking away local aid from their schools. Others said the amendment is unenforceable, just like a municipality declaring itself a sanctuary city is nothing but symbolism.
DELAY DRUG STORE BAN (S 2234)
H O W L O N G WA S L A S T 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.
Senate 9-25, rejected an amendment that would delay from January 2017 to January 2018 the deadline by which pharmacies and health care institutions are During the week of April 25-29, banned from selling any tobacco the House met for a total of 27 hours and 41 minutes and the products.

Savvy Senior by Jim Miller
How to Replace Vital Documents that are Lost or Stolen Dear Savvy Senior, Can you tell me how to go about replacing important lost documents? My wife and I recently downsized to a retirement community, and somewhere in the move we lost our Social Security and Medicare cards, birth certificates, marriage license and passports. Worried Ron Dear Ron, Replacing important documents that are lost, stolen or damaged is pretty easy if you know where to turn. Here are the replacement resources for each document you mentioned, along with some tips to protect you from identity theft, which can happen if your documents end up in the wrong hands. Birth certificate: If you were born in the United States, contact the vital records office in the state where you were born (see cdc. gov/nchs/w2w.htm for contact information). This office will give you specific instructions on what you need to do to order a certified copy and what it will cost you. Birth certificate fees range between $9 and $30. Social Security card: You can replace a lost or stolen Social Security card for free, and if you live in the District of Columbia, Michigan, Nebraska, Washington or Wisconsin, you can do it online at ssa.gov/ssnumber. If, however, you live outside these areas, you’ll need to fill out Form SS-5 (see ssa.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf to print a copy) and take it in or mail it to your nearby Social Security office, along with your U.S. driver’s license, or a state-issued non-driver ID card or a U.S. passport (photocopies are not accepted). Any documents you mail in will be returned to you. To find the Social Security office that serves your area, call 800-772-1213 or see ssa.gov/locator. You also need to be aware that losing your Social Security card puts you at risk for identity theft. If you find that someone uses your Social Security number to obtain credit, loans, telephone accounts, or other goods and services, report it immediately to the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov (or 877-438-4338). This site will also give you specific steps you’ll need to take to handle this problem. Medicare card: To replace your Medicare card for free, just call Social Security 800-772-1213 or contact your local Social Security office. You can also request one online at ssa.gov/myaccount. Your card will arrive in the mail in about 30 days. By losing your Medicare card, you also need to watch out for Medicare fraud. So check your Medicare Summary Notice for services you did not receive and, if you spot any, call the Inspector General’s fraud hotline at 800-447-8477 to report them. Marriage certificate: Contact your state’s vital records office to order a copy (see cdc.gov/nchs/w2w.htm). You’ll need to provide your full names for you and your spouse, the date of your wedding, and the city or town where the wedding was performed. Fees range from $10 to $30.

The Advocate HOROSCOPE Aries (March 21st-April 20th): Think small not big when it comes to making a change this week Aries. You’re usual “all or nothing” attitude just isn’t going to work well for you during this month’s retrogrades (planets moving backwards.) Take things slow, one day at a time. Taurus (April 21st-May 20th): Right now and throughout the month of May projects taken on will run smoothly and successfully. As long as you keep your ducks in a row and stay organized everything you aim to accomplish will be. The planets are on your side right now Taurus! Gemini (May 21st-June 20th): Follow your curiosity this week when a new culture, concept or art form intrigues you. The April blues may still be lingering for you and exploring something totally new will be just the thing to boost your mood. Cancer (June 21st-July 22nd): The social invites should pour in for you this week Cancer, just like the rain outside. Enjoy yourself but prepare for small annoyances on the way such as traffic jams, miscommunications, or phone problems- darn Mercury retrograde ! Leo (July 23rd-August 22nd): The Sun is your planetary ruler as a Leo and it’s going to be hiding most of this week. Don’t let the weather get you down, and go out of your way for a little exercise. Doing something physical will be just the ticket to a serious mood boost. Virgo (August 23rd-September 22rd): Say yes this weekend when a friend invites you to try something exciting and new. It’s okay to be nervous, but not okay to stay in your comfort zone. Push yourself and you will walk away feeling incredibly accomplished.
Civil War is a sequel to both “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “The Avengers: Age of Ultron.” Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) leads the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps: one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo do a great job of juggling the many superheroes and moving along their individual and group storylines. Downey explores a darker side to Stark which we have not seen before, reminding us what a great actor he is. Emily VanCamp (Agent Sharon Carter) is underused while Daniel Brühl (Baron Zemo) does not get a lot of screen time, but when we see him, he is great. The film also introduces two new characters to the Marvel Universe: Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland). Spider-Man is the definitely the best thing in the film. Both are awesome, and I can’t wait to see their individual movies. In case you are hoping to see the Hulk and Thor, you won’t find them in this go around.

COMMUNITY CARE CENTER
Libra (September 23th-October 22rd): Right now the planetary retrogrades are encouraging you to reevaluate your finances and intimate life. Are you happy with how much money you are making? Are you happy with your spouse? Think on these questions this weekend, and form a plan for a better summer. Scorpio (October 23rd-November 22nd): This week Mercury is pushing you to mend old problems with friends and family. Reach out to those you’ve strayed away from and break down the walls of tension. Although you may be carrying on fine without them, what you are unaware of is the energy you are carrying by not forgiving. Sagittarius (November 23rd-December 21st): Key words for this week: time management. You can do it all, and get everything you need to get done as long as you manage your time properly. Take note of what works for you and what doesn’t, it may be time to take on a whole new way of utilizing your time for the long run. Capricorn (December22nd- January 19th): Mercury is in Taurus right now influencing you in the most romantic way. Plan a special date for your love, or even surprise them with a present. Focus less on work this month and more on love. Aquarius (January 20th- February 19th): Sudden issues with authority figures and leaders at work could strike you this week, hitting a nerve that hasn’t been hit in a while. Calm yourself down when this happens and wait 24 hours until speaking up. Doing so in the moment will probably just lead to being misunderstood. Pisces (February 20th- March 20th): This weekend is an important one for reconnecting with family you haven’t seen in some time. Reach out to them even if it feels a little awkward to do so because of time, they will be so happy that it won’t even matter. ancesca iazza is a Lynn eld nati e a aila le o ast ology consultations, ta ot eadings pa ties, c ystal ealing, custo e el y, and ei i lease li e Siste an esigns and eadings on ace oo o o e in o, o contact e at piazza aol co
