Board of Selectmen Meeting

Liquor License Passes, July 4th Plan in the Works

DeLai adds voice to Middlesex League coalition

Later school start time?

[email protected] The Wilmington Board of

Selectmen voted Monday night to approve a full-bar liquor license sought by Michael and Amy Palmer.

The couple, who owns and operates several restaurants in the area, applied for a full bar license in their newest establishment the East

Coast Diner. The restaurant, to be operated at a 203 Lowell Street site which is at the corner of Woburn Street and Lowell Street owned and developed by Howland Development, will feature “East Coast diner-style food” for families, with a separate bar area in the back.

The typically sedate licen- sure process took a detour into the issue of zoning at the Lowell Street site; the site had previously been rezoned from general industrial to general business use in anticipation of a doggy daycare facility, “Doggyworld,” on the site. However, after re-zoning took place, signage at the pad site announced rental opportunities for restaurant and banking operations not previously discussed in the town meeting.

“We moved heaven and earth for Doggyworld to put it under general business, and these restaurants are just coming in the back door,” he said.

A short debate ensued on the zoning and allowed use of the site. At the close of discussions, the Board voted to approve the full bar license with four in favor, and McCoy abstaining.

In other business of the evening, the Board considered a request by Director of Planning and Conversation Valerie Gingrich to continue the Town’s participation in the Regional Housing Services Office Inter-municipal Agreement.

WILMINGTON- On Wednesday, the Wilmington School Committee authorized Superintendent Mary DeLai to sign a joint statement put forward by Middlesex League superintendents to begin the process of shifting school start times.

The proposed change would move High School start times to between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., in contrast with the 7:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. start time currently used in the Middlesex League. After school competitions would be scheduled to ensure that students did not miss academic time.

The statement, drafted by Dr. Eric Conti, Superintendent of Burlington, cited studies which argued that later start times better enabled social and emotional needs for students.

“The Middlesex League Superintendents collectively wanted to express our clear support for later high school start times,” the statement reads. “Our intention is to commit to a deadline and to the necessary consensus building required to make a change in long- standing practice.

“Doing what is right for adolescents will mean changing adult schedules and behav- iors. Ultimately, the choice to change will distill down to what communities will value most.”

At the Wednesday meeting, the statement had already been signed by Conti and Les Olsen, Superintendent of Stoneham.

Committee member Mary Byrnes expressed concern about the administration

O’Toole stunned by recognition

Kindergarten teacher honored for work with special needs students


[email protected] WILMINGTON - Kristin

O’Toole was simply going about her day as a kindergarten teacher at the Wildwood School when sud- denly her phone rang. Answering, O’Toole learned that she had been nominated for, and won, a Community Partnership Award from the Federation for Children with Special Needs (FCSN).

“I was really caught off guard,” O’Toole laughed. “I’m really used to flying under the radar.”

The Community Partnership Awards are given annually to “parents, educators, advocates, health professionals, and community leaders who have made a significant impact for children with special needs and those at risk, in their schools and communities.”

Awarded the General Education Teacher Award, Kristin was praised by the FCSN for the way she “embodies all of the qualities that a teacher needs to build a successful learning environment for all students, and she, epitomizes what it means to be ‘inclusive.’ O’Toole treats each of her students as exceptional and special individuals with unique strengths in her classroom.”

O’Toole was nominated by the family of a special needs child she had been her student. This too, came as a shock to O’Toole.

“It really blew me away to realize the important role that I had played in their

child’s life,” O’Toole said. “It was definitely humbling.”

O’Toole has been with the Wildwood since 2006. Having grown up in Wilmington, she knew from a young age that she wanted to work with younger children for her career, even spending time working at the Children’s Hospital Daycare when she was still in college. Before returning to Wilmington, O’Toole spent time teaching first grade in Billerica.

“I’ve always wanted to work with little kids,” O’Toole said. “They’re just so eager to learn. Everything is a new experience for them. I just love being able to build that foundation for them.”

Thanks to an anonymous donor, over 20 members of the Wilmington school district staff were able to attend the awards and presentation held recently. For both O’Toole and

Wilmington Superintendent of Schools Mary DeLai, this award recognized not only O’Toole’s accomplishments, but the Wilmington school district’s commitment to inclusivity of special needs children into general education.

“As much as possible, we work to make sure that any child with special needs or disabilities is included and fully integrated into a general education classroom,” DeLai said. “Students with special needs that are included as much as possible in the general education setting tend to perform better and be more successful, because they are working side by side with their peers

and have effective role models in those peers and the same types of expectations. The research is pretty clear that this is helpful.”

O’Toole has learned about the power of inclusivity first- hand during her time at the Wildwood, and she passion- ately spoke of her belief that bringing special needs students and general education students together in one setting gave immeasurable benefits to both.

“I truly believe that both children with special needs and children without benefit,” O’Toole said. “Children with special needs learn from their peers, including academic skills and social skills. Children who do not have special needs learn things like acceptance, kindness, and patience. When we all come together in a classroom, it is so special.”

“Students feel lucky to be a part of the tolerant, cooperative and inclusive culture that Ms. O’Toole cultivates in her class,” the awards pamphlet declared.

After many years under the radar, O’Toole has been shocked by the wellspring of community support that has rushed up after the award was announced.

“It makes me so proud to be a teacher in Wilmington,” O’Toole said. “I’ve had so many parents congratulate and so many former students sending me cards. It feels like everywhere I go there is someone saying hello. It just goes to show that Wilmington is a tightknit community and the people here have a respect for teachers.”

fighters from 29 states and four countries. There were 343 participants to mirror the number lost.

The Wilmington team included Erik Nansel, Charles Taylor, Matt Tremblay, Nick Newhall, Ed DeLucia, Ed Sousa, Rob Varey Jr., Mike Rideout,

-Paul Hedderson, and Chris Elliott and each one of them finished the climb.

“Our team was awesome,” Taylor said. “I’m so proud to be part of it. It was a great, great day for us.” Each climber was given the

name of a fallen hero. That morning prior to the climb the firefighters were given a flag and a flower to place at the photograph of their assigned hero. The photographs were part of a perma- nent display at the Sept. 11th South Tower Memorial. This set the mood and inspired their climb. This is what it was all about.

The Wilmington group

arrived at the climb site at 6:30 am to check in and gather their gear. Later there was a moment of silence at the South Tower Memorial to start the official event activities.

The actual climb had a staggered start so it was about 10:00 am when the Wilmington Firefighters finally began their ascent. They waited about 2lA hours in full gear for their turn. They were anxious and pumped to get going, but patient.

The outside weather was pleasant that day, but inside the unfinished building was a different story.

“It was very hot in the stairwells," said Taylor. “By about one third of the way up, you really felt it.”

Taylor heard the best time overall was about 18-19 minutes, but his educated guess is that the event average was about 30 minutes. The Wilmington team had planned to go up as a group

It’s Your Money by Todd Brisbois

PAY MEDICAL EXPENSES WITH

IRA FUNDS? Yes, it is possible to use IRA savings to

pay medical expenses at any age without penalty. But it isn’t easy; the eligibility rules are tight, and missing the mark can cost you.

In order to be considered penalty-free, the IRA distributions have to be used for

medical expenses for the taxpayer, a spouse or a dependent. In a recent Tax Court case, a woman in her 40s used IRA money to pay for her son’s medical costs, but, as it happened, she had not claimed her son as a dependent that year. Result: she had to pay the penalty.

There are more rules that must be followed to avoid the penalty: The distribution must cover medical costs paid the same year as the withdrawal from the IRA; and the money must have been for medical costs that exceed 10 percent of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income.

Let us help you avoid expensive mistakes with your funds. You can depend on our know-how at:

On Sunday March 13, ten Wilmington firefighters traveled to NY City to remember a 9/11 hero and to raise funds for a worthy cause. They joined 333 other firefighters who climbed the 72 floors of 4 World Trade Center in the Second Annual New York City Firefighter Stair Climb. They each carried 70 pounds of gear. Shown here that morning - Front" Center: Matt Tremblay. Next Row Paul Hedderson, Rob Varey, Ed Sousa, Ed DeLucia, Erik Nansel. Back Row:' Charles Taylor, Nick Newhall, Mike Rideout, Chris Elliott.

but with the staggered start and other climbers as fac- tors, they didn’t. Still they all made it. And at the top, there was food, water, and a well-deserved rest.

Taylor added that he was especially moved by the presence of the NYC Firefighters who went up first.

“To see all of them there and their commitment, it got me going.”

The climb was founded by two New York City firefighters, John Mills and Chris Barber. This is the second year. Part of the inspiration was Orio Palmer. Firefighter Palmer, a 20-year veteran and a chief with Battalion-7 in Manhattan, was killed in the World Trade Center's South Tower on 9/11. He was a rising star, known for his intelligence and professionalism as well as his physical fitness. That day in the South Tower,

Palmer single-handedly repaired an elevator and took it up to the 41st floor observation deck area. He then ran 37 flights of stairs to reach the plane’s impact zone on the 78th floor. In the mayhem, he calmly reported back on the fatalities, direct- ed survivors how to get out of the building, and relayed information to firemen below. His final transmission, that came only seconds before the building fell, was calm and steady.

The NYC climb organization will send funds raised to Red White and Blue, a veterans’ service nonprofit. Team RWB’s mission is to help America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical fitness and social activities.

lane for Churchill. His father Ken Churchill was a professionaPBull rider and showman on the rodeo circuit. He held many professional titles and championships, and held roles on the Saturday morning kids show Boomtown during the 1960s and 70s. He performed in live events with the show’s creator and star, Rex Trailer.

“They would do stagecoach fights with the stagecoach going around the arena,” Kenny reminisces. “My dad would play the bad guy, and Rex would play the good guy. My dad would have to fall off the stagecoach and then go get on his bull.”

While the Churchill kids competed in other sports like football, soccer, and hockey, “we grew up dreaming of being cowboys.”

They dreamed, and ultimately succeeded in the ring.

“We were the ugly duck- lings of the sport,” he says, their leafy suburban Boston backyard a stark contrast to the dusty trails and sun- scorched paddocks most competitors called home.

The bull riders from Brookline may have caught their share of good-natured jokes out on the competitive circuit, but also caught then- share of accolades and championships. Following in his father’s footsteps, Kenny Churchill chased the dream to three World Championship titles, as well as many series and title wins over the course of his 20-year competitive career. His brother Johnny and sis-

ter Dawn also enjoyed success, Johnny as a bull rider,

/Dawn as a professional barrel racer.

May’s event promises to deliver an authentic rodeo experience, like the events Churchill remembers from his early days on the circuit. Friday’s kick-off event will feature the first night of competition, as well as a tribute to Ken Churchill and the presentation of a gold buckle in his memory.

On Saturday May 7th, a family matinee event will feature kids barrel racing, family games and events, and a chance for kids to meet the rodeo clowns in

person. On both Friday and

Saturday nights, rodeo-goers will enjoy live music and country line dancing; local dancers can kick up then- heels alongside other cowboys and cowgirls to great musical acts including Kevin White and his band Walkin’ the Line.

The rodeo begins at Shriners Auditorium, r 99 Fordham Road on Friday May 6th at 7pm, with two shows on Saturday May,.7th at 12pm and 7pm. Tickets are $20 general admission, $30 VIP access, and are available at the Auditorium and at local retailers. •

Letters to the editor

Johnson for Selectmen Dear Editor: I am writing to encourage

my fellow residents to join me and support Todd Johnson for reelection to the Tewksbury Board of Selectmen.

Todd has served our community with distinction in his role on the Board, as well as through his long- time leadership role with the Tewksbury Food Pantry.

Over the course of my two years working closely with Todd on the Board, I have come to respect him not only for his work ethic and insight into the many difficult decisions we must con- front on behalf of our fellow residents, but also for his dedication and discipline regarding the manner with which we approach the Town’s business. During his time on the

Board, Todd has had to work through difficult financial times and contentious issues in our community. For most of his time on the Board he has served as Chair, taking a leadership role when facing challenging times.

Through those challenges, Todd has helped to lead the Board and the Town Administrative Team to sig-

Wilmington Firefighters support Miller and Bendel Dear Editor: With the upcoming

Selectmen's race approach- ing, the Wilmington Firefighters invited all candidates to a special Union meeting.

This meeting was attended by Kevin Caira and Tom Miller. Greg Bendel had a prior engagement and was able to stop by earlier and have a discussion with some of the members. After care- ful consideration, we are proud to place our support behind Tom Miller and Greg Bendel.

Miller is a retired Wilmington Police Detective with an impeccable record.

Gay supports Knyff Dear Editor: On Saturday, April 2nd, the

voting residents of Tewksbury have several choices to vote for two open seats on Tewksbury’s School Committee. My clear choice for one of my two votes is for Erin Knyff.

There is an immediate need on the School Committee for a fresh voice and a new motivated per- spective. With the coming of a new superintendent, this is a perfect time to add a new member to our School Committee that exemplifies credibility and trust. Erin is the proud mother of

three children and I have had the pleasure of getting to know Erin and her family over the past several years.

I currently work with Erin on the Public Events and Celebrations Committee which has done remarkable work sponsoring the annual Fall Harvest Festival and the Christmas Tree Lighting and Holiday Celebration. Her dedication and organi- zational skills have helped make this committee a shin- ing success for Tewksbury’s families to enjoy.

As many of you may already know, Erin is the founder of Liam Nation. Liam Nation strives to improve the lives of people with physical and cognitive challenges by providing funding and support to remove the obstacles that affect their daily lives.

Through Liam Nation, Erin has sponsored numerous fundraisers, which have raised thousands of dollars towards this crucial cause. I personally admire Erin for her heartfelt and dedicated devotion.

I have 100 percent confidence that Erin Knyff is the right choice for this extremely important position on our School Committee and the timing is perfect to elect Erin as a strong voice and advocate for all parents and children of Tewksbury to improve our school system and the quality of education.

Again, please join me in voting for Erin Knyff on Saturday, April 2nd. The polls are open from 8:00am- 8:00 pm.

Thank You, David H. Gay

A vote for Todd Johnson Miceli says Polimeno

nificant improvements in our financial status as a community, including the establishment of a significant Stabilization Fund, implementation of responsible financial policies, and a transparent budgeting process.

While I could continue to list Todd’s significant accomplishments in service to his community, I will instead focus on his professional approach to community service. In the end, we must elect individuals that we believe will take a seri- ous, nuanced, and fair look at all sides of an issue when it comes before them.

Todd has demonstrated time and time again that he respects the process of gov- ernance, and all those involved. He continues to be a steady and fair-minded leader with integrity and our community benefits greatly from his dedicated service.

I fully support his re-election to the Board of Selectmen, and ask you to join me in voting for him on April 2nd.

Sincerely, Bruce Panilaitis

Dear Editor: I would like to take this

opportunity to show my support for and endorse Todd Johnson for Tewksbury Selectman. I know Todd from my own years of public service as a member of the Finance Committee, and diming that time I’ve found Todd to be passionate about the betterment of our community.

Todd has been a champion of fiscal responsibility and best practices, along with the Town manager and Finance committee. These practices are generating benefits year over year to

the community in increased funding for public services, our schools and making it more affordable for Tewksbury to borrow when necessary.

Beyond the financials, Todd has long given voice to key concerns for the community whether it be our public safety, our schools, or in his support of the Tewksbury Community Pantry.

Please join me in voting for Todd Johnson on April 2nd.

Sincerely, David Aznavoorian

Bennett is right choice

He has been a long standing resident of Wilmington. Bendel was born and raised in Wilmington and is currently in his eighth year teaching at Shawsheen Tech. He is active on many volunteer organizations and also is still active on the Wilmington Housing Authority.

We believe that Tom and Greg will make great additions to the Board in Town and will serve the residents of Wilmington well.

Respectfully Submitted, Bill Cavanaugh, President,

Wilmington Firefighters, I.A.F.F. Loaca 1370.

Dear Editor: I am pleased to announce

my endorsement and support for Arthy Bennett in her campaign for election on the Tewksbury School Committee.

For so many years, she has devoted herself to helping the Tewksbury Public Schools. She has served on all of the PACs for her son’s schools, most recently the Superintendent Search and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) TMHS Accreditation Committee not to mention attending all the TMHS Administration chats to really gain knowledge of all aspects of the schools.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Arthy for over ten years, since our days volun- teering for the Dewing School PAC and since then have had opportunity to work with her on many other ventures.

Most recently we have served together on the Board for the Tewksbury Education Foundation (TEF). Working hand in hand with her over the past four years of the Foundation’s existence has been a remarkable journey.

Besides raising over $150,000 for the Tewksbury

public schools, I have learned so much about Arthy and her complete dedication to all of our children. Her energy in getting it all done is something to marvel at! The TEF hosts our Annual School Wide Auction, Annual Spelling Bee, Staff Recognition Program and soon to be awarding our first Scholarship to the Class of 2016. Many of these ideas were Arthy’s and much of the coordination hers as well.

Over the past ten years, activities and events aside, the daily phone calls about the to-do lists and what else can we provide, I have found a friend. As a person, a mom, a friend Arthy is truly one of the most caring and thoughtful people I know.

With all that she has going on, work, family, campaign she always has an ear for what you need. I think the Town of Tewksbury will benefit greatly with her on their School Committee caring for ALL of our students. I have two children currently in the TPS and I know I would want her championing for them.

Sincerely, Erin Asselin

Thanks for the Laughs! Dear Editor, I would like to thank the

300 guests who attended the Chamber’s 9th Annual Comedy Night last Friday. Ticket and raffles sales made this event our most profitable Comedy Night in nine years!

The event is a fundraiser for the Chamber and it is great to see so many of our guests come back every year to support our mission. A room full of friends, food and laughter .. always a fun night! Once again, our host Steve Bjork coordinated a super funny line-up of comics and Sheila Bissett and her team at the Shriners were the perfect hosts.

Thanks to the Chamber Board of Directors for selling tickets and helping out at the event. I would also

like to thank the following businesses for donating awesome raffle prizes: Aleppo Shriners, Audrey Kelly from RE/MAX, Century 21, Hallmark Health Medical Associates, Analog Devices, Pediatric Dental Care of Wilmington, Worldcup Bull Riders, Bruce Hilliard Photography, Kelley Towncar, As Good As It Gets Cafe, Tremezzo Ristorante, Sweet Pizza, The Cleaner Spot, Reading Coop, Merrimack Valley Pavilion, The Yoga Loft, CrossFit Ares, Wilmington Fit Body Boot Camp, Winbrook, and Wilmington Family Chiropractic.

Sincerely, Nancy Vallee, Executive Director, Wilm. Chamber of Commerce

Fowlers will vote for Bennett Dear Editor: In just a few weeks we’ll

vote for several important leadership roles in our Town elections. As involved members of the community, we always look to support those candidates who stand out and truly represent those essential values that are important in creating and fostering strong relation- ships and can deliver on a balanced, community- focused approach to their thoughts and actions. We believe Arthy Bennett exemplifies those values and would be a valuable member of the Tewksbury School Committee.

Since our kids were of school age, we have known Arthy through many different activities including sports, different PACs, the Tewksbury Education Foundation, and several other functions aimed at doing what is right for all children and building a stronger community through true thought leadership and terrific collabora-

Dear Editor: Over my many years in

office I have worked with hundreds of federal, state and local officials on a wide variety of educational issues on an in-depth basis. Each and every one of these folks I worked with were unques- tionably passionate, knowledgeable and dedicated to helping improve the future of our children. They each gave their all to accomplish their goals. Working with these folks I have seen new schools built, new policies enacted, and new superintendents hired. I saw Massachusetts take the lead in almost every conceivable educational measure as compared to other states across the country.

Even after working with all these people, I can proudly say with full confidence that Krissy Polimeno has a unique background which makes her one of the best educational experts and school committee members I have ever worked with. Simply put, she stands heads and shoulders above all others, both in terms of her great education and her unparalleled experience. She is uniquely the best.

Krissy is a kind, passionate, knowledgeable and most importantly tenacious advocate for the youth of Tewksbury. If she believes an initiative will help even just one student, she will do everything in her power to accomplish her goals.

From the very beginning, Krissy dedicated herself to education, studying in the field throughout college before working in the profes- sion for years. Long before her three children enrolled in our schools, Krissy was concerned that all Tewksbury children were getting the best education possible and sacrificed many long hours to seek out any possible way to improve our

schools, policies and staff. Since coming to

Tewksbury, she has taken the lead on a myriad of projects. A few include: securing financial support for Project Pohelo, bringing the Best Buddies program to the high school, helping construct and improve tennis and turf fields for our students, and securing reimbursement for the construction of the new high school.

She has also set out an impressive agenda for her next prospective term with projects like expanding The kindergarten program to give our young students a leg-up on the competition, and addressing the physical shortcomings of some our elementary schools which currently inhibit student learning.

Krissy is so unparalleled that, despite fierce and qualified competition, she was awarded the Massachusetts Association of School Committee’s prestigious “All-State Committee” award. This award recog- nizes the nine most passionate and effective school committee members across Massachusetts.

Regardless if you have a child enrolled in Tewksbury schools or not, Krissy Polimeno is the best choice for the school committee by far. She will seek out fiscally- smart solutions while simul- taneously improving the quality of the education our youth are receiving. She should be considered a friend of the students, teachers and residents of Tewksbury.

I look forward in bettering the future for our children, and by default, bettering the future of all of Tewksbury with Krissy in office for another three years.

Sincerely, Jim Miceli

Polimeno gets Dunlevy’s vote

tion. Arthy is always extremely

well versed in current educational imperatives and makes it a priority to always understand whatever devel- opments there are within our school system and how she can contribute and add value. Above Arthy’s commitment and dedication to truly focus on the betterment of all our children, she is a terrific person.

Arthy is one of the most generous, thoughtful, and giving people we have every met. She places others before herself and it is that selfless attitude that has gained her the respect of many like us, as a friend and leader, within our community.

We are proud to know Arthy Bennett and will be voting for her on April 2rd for Tewksbury School Committee.

Sincerely, Ken and AnneMarie Fowler

Dear Editor: I am writing in support of

Krissy Polimeno for re-election to the Tewksbury School Committee.

Mrs. Polimeno has been a dedicated School Committee Member for six years, three of which as Chairperson. She has sat on numerous committees and volunteered in our school system. She has taught CCD and as been involved in community efforts such as zero waste day and clean up days. She has been involved in our town sports programs volun- teering as a coach and is a member of the Girls Basketball Board.

Her accomplishments and dedication have not gone unnoticed as she was honored in December 2015 by being named to the Massachusetts Association of School Committees. Criteria for this honor include leadership, special action, and inspiration as a role model to peers and students. Mrs. Polimeno

embodies these qualities and much more.

I have had the pleasure of working with her on several occasions. She always presents herself in an intelligent, professional and cooperative manner. The way in which she conducts herself pro- motes timely and efficient results. She has earned the respect and admiration of individuals and board members alike. She is person- able, approachable and always willing to listen and help whenever possible. We can count on her to make sound decisions and is never afraid of a challenge.

You will not find anyone more hard working and dedicated to our community and to the school children of Tewksbury than Krissy Polimeno. Please join me on April 2nd and vote to re- elect Krissy Polimeno to the Tewksbury School Committee.

Thank you, Diane Dunlevy

myself while on vacation and knew it was bad news,” she said. “(I had) many doc- tors’ appointments and tests later it was confirmed and my journey began. I was fortunate to receive a new drug that was released early due to outstanding clinical trials which increased my survival rate by fifty percent. I will be an eleven-year survivor this coming August. While I was going through treatment and not feeling well I believed that I would find something of sig- nificance (something that spoke to me) which I could apply this experience, I was appreciative of the clinical trial and the time it gave me with my young children.

“This is why I advocate, offering my personal story, to our legislators or testify- ing at the State House, it is

important for them to have our real life experiences when considering bills and funding for research. I enjoy working together, as a volunteer, with ACS CAN as we are a solid resource for information."

Specifically, volunteers asked lawmakers to support An Act to protect youth from the health risks of tobacco and nicotine addiction, which takes a comprehensive approach to tobacco control efforts in the Commonwealth. The bill would prohibit sales of electronic cigarettes to minors and include electronic cigarettes in the smoke-free workplace law, increase the age of sale for tobacco products from 18 to 21 and prohibit sales of tobacco in facilities that provide health care such as pharmacies.

.Wilmington man indicted in connection with Workers’ Compensation fraud

eged scheme resulted in $120,000 in fraud

BOSTON - A Wilmington man has been indicted in connection with allegedly failing to accurately report the nature of his company’s work in order to avoid $120,000 in insurance premiums, Attorney General Maura Healey announced kiKobfert Foss, age 54, of Wilmington, was indicted teddy1 by a Suffolk Grand 'Jiifyon charges of Workers’ ’Obidpensation Fraud (four •4bahtk). yv dfe will be arraigned on March 21 in Suffolk Superior Court’ and on March 22 in ^Middlesex Superior Court. Âuthorities allege that hetwCten 2009 and 2012, Foss ■defrauded two insurance Companies under three separate insurance policies by IdfescHbing his Burlington htisirfess as a general con- teaefor, when in reality, it "Wa'&'a roofing company. The Workers’ Compensation Tlhtitigs and Inspection fruhehu (WCRIB) classifies ^robfirig as a more dangerous bcciiji'ation than general car- jfieli&'y and places a higher preifilum on insurance. *'=r“We allege that this defen-

■ intentionally put the fehtety of his employees at risk by asking them to inaccurately disclose the nature of his business to insurance companies in order to avoid uQ^Tifg premiums,” said AG jkeajey. “Our office is com-

mitted to investigating and prosecuting those who engage in this type of fraud for their own benefit.”

The Insurance Fraud Bureau of Massachusetts (IFB) referred the case to the Attorney General’s Office in May 2013 after an investigation into allega- tions that the company was committing insurance fraud.

“Businesses that misrepre- sent their payrolls and type of business to lower then- workers’ compensation premiums put honest businesses at a disadvantage, and are not providing proper coverage for their employees,” said IFB Executive Director Daniel Johnston. “The Insurance Fraud Bureau pursues these cases so that there can be a fan- playing field for all businesses in the Commonwealth.”

WCRIB establishes different categories of insurance policy costs depending on the risk of injury associated with different types of jobs, and insurers apply those categories to a company’s payroll to calculate workers’ compensation insurance premiums.

According to authorities, Foss also inaccurately described the nature of his business on an application for insurance through the Massachusetts Workers’ Compensation Assigned

In the United States, tobacco use is responsible for nearly one in five deaths and accounts for at least 30 percent of all cancer deaths

“Together with Massachusetts appropriate- ly high tobacco taxes and 100 percent smoke free workplace law, passage of this bill would once again make Massachusetts the leader in the fight against Big Tobacco and ensure that the Commonwealth has some of the strongest anti- tobacco policies in the nation,” said Hymovitz.

Many of the 37,800 cancer diagnoses and 12,710 deaths in Massachusetts can be prevented. By protecting Massachusetts’ youth from the dangers of tobacco and electronic cigarette use, we can help ensure future generations are spared hearing those terrible three words, “you have cancer.”

schemes, Foss put his insurance companies and his workers at risk by failing to cover injuries that could have occurred because of roofing work and in the process evaded paying $120,000 in workers’ compensation insurance premiums.

These charges are allega- tions and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

AG Healey’s Insurance and Unemployment Fraud Unit works to protect consumers and the integrity of the insurance system by investigating and prosecuting those who commit fraud against all types of insurers, including the Commonwealth’s unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation systems.

This case is being prose- cuted by Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey Wood, of AG Healey’s Insurance and Unemployment Fraud Unit, with assistance from Senior Investigator Philip Mantyla, also of AG Healey’s Insurance and Unemployment Fraud Unit, Victim Witness Advocate Megan Murphy, of AG Healey’s Victim Witness Services Division, and the Insurance Fraud Bureau.

6W TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 2016 HOME NEWS HERE.GQD

Town Crier General Manager, or ‘Mr. Everything’ Stu Neilson retiring

Bv LARZ F. NEILSON Whenever someone would tell Capt. Larz Neilson they

wanted to work for the Town Crier, he would hand them a broom. Stu Neilson landed that job not by request, but simply being the kid around the office. He was six years old when his father started the paper in 1955.

Stu is retiring from the paper this week. His job title has been general manager and editor, but the job description should simply say, “everything.”

For instance, he single-handedly provided the sandwiches for a memorable company boat trip. One of the sandwiches escaped, only to be found months later in the trunk of a car. And when a sailboat excursion ran aground at Old Mystic Seaport, it was Stu who valiantly and heroically waded ashore to secure emergency rations of liquid sustenance.

He was once photographed at the town Easter Egg hunt, “assisting” the Easter Bunny lady with her overloaded jelly bean basket.

A pair of grinches once roamed Wilmington at Christmas time, “borrowing” presents from beneath local Christmas trees, demanding beer for their return. Stu didn’t catch these grinches, for, in fact, he was one of them.

His career, though, is marked with some significant accomplishments.

When you tell someone you’re a newspaper editor, the image might be that of someone with a green eyeshade, pounding out copy on a typewriter, or running out to the pressroom yelling “Stop the presses!” The Town Crier has always been more up to date than that.

Wilmington, 40 years ago, had not one but two manufacturers of phototypesetting equipment. Photon was in North Wilmington, not far from the Town Crier office. Compugraphic became one of the town’s largest employers. In fact, Stu had been employee number 37 at Compugraphic when he graduated from Wilmington High School in 1967, before he went in the Navy. . The Town Crier began using Photon typesetting equipment

Wednesday

in 1970. The machine, dubbed “Nervous Nellie” would flip its memory whenever it was given a wrong code. When Nellie died, the paper switched to Compugraphic equipment.

By April 1985, the paper needed new equipment. Stu went up to the Compugraphic plant, but the equipment price was astronomical and the salesman couldn’t get the demo of the system to work.

Stu had seen an ad for a Hewlett-Packard system, and he arranged for a demo at a business near the Burlington Mall. But he found the HP system to be quite limited. He told the salesman to call him when he had something more versatile.

“Oh! Versatility!” the salesman said. “I thought you wanted price!” And then he showed Stu the Macintosh, which had just come out a year previously. And the recent introduction of the LaserWriter printer made it possible to set type.

The Town Crier immediately bought six Macintoshes and two LaserWriters.

Stu was then faced with the task of making the new system set type for a newspaper. It took considerable experimenta- tion, since nobody had done this before.

On July 1,1985, Stu turned off all the Compugraphic equipment, for good and the Town Crier went to 100 percent Mac production.

It was as if a large GONG had sounded, both in the newspaper world and in the typesetting industry. The hometown paper of the phototypesetting industry had abandoned phototypesetting.

For a small newspaper, it was a tremendous advance. The story was reported in the New England Printer & Publisher, with color photographs. Stu was invited to speak at press conventions about using Macintosh computers.

There is no Guinness Book record of the first newspaper to use a Mac, but the Town Crier was certainly among the first to do this. And Stu was the guy who did it.

More on Stu’s retirement in next week’s issue.

Thursday, March 31 at 7:30 PM

Phillips Academy campus. Tang Theatre, 7 Chapel Avenue

Today’s youth are navigat- ing a complex world of social technologies. From Instagram to texting, Snapchat to video games, many parents and educators are scratching their heads, trying to understand why teens do what they do online

In her talk, Boyd will explore some of the major questions raised by the net- worked world in which today’s youth live and help contextualize the reasons why youth do what they do. She will primarily talk about issues of privacy and mean- ness and cruelty in her remarks, but will be open to broader questions of youth practice.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A and book signing. The event is free

and open to the public. This event is sponsored by the Office of the Head of School and the Tang Institute of Phillips Academy.

Salem: North Shore Jazz Project

merges with Salem Jazz and Soul Festival

Two North Shore music nonprofits with similar mis- sions have merged. The Salem Jazz and Soul Festival and North Shore Jazz Project filed merger paper- work with Massachusetts’ Attorney General in late 2015

and will retain the name Salem Jazz and Soul Festival.

The band, made up of some of the best young jazz musi- cians on the North Shore, will retain its concert schedule with SJSF. According to Larry Claflin Jr., SJSF’s co- founder and executive director, merging these two nonprofits has been a goal for a couple years.

The festival will debut the 2016 North Shore Jazz Project All Stars at the Salem Five Community Room on Saturday, April 2 from 2-4 pm. The concert is free. The Salem Jazz and Soul Festival was founded in 2007 and will celebrate its 10th season this summer.

With a mission of produc- ing free concerts and supporting music-education causes on the North Shore, the festival puts on eight free concerts a year, culminating in a two-day festival at the Salem Willows, featuring ten bands, music-education and family tents, artisan vendors and beer pavilion.

The 2016 Salem Jazz and Soul Festival will take place

HOME NEWS HERE.COM TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 2016 7

You can expect milder, better weather By-USA KENNKDY-rOX

Nieyvs Correspondent

lisa@yourtowncrier com WILMINGTON - Per the

Town Crier’s reported Weather Network prediction back in December, this year’s winter did not dole out the same crippling blitzkrieg we experienced in 2015, thankfully.

And while the season hasn’t been without its share of storms, this year has been a breeze by comparison. While milder than normal

weatfier dominated December for the northern half of the country, more typical wintry weather did emerge in January and especially February with arctic air from the Great Lgkes • to the Mid-Atlantic States,'

.Now, it’s time to look at the ngxt few months. So far, this yjear’s El Nino, among the strongest on record according to; the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration, is expected to influence weather and cli mate_patterns by impacting the position of the Pacific jet stream. In other words, U'eVe'been barely grazed, keeping us holding our brehfh for the onslaught. Well,' it’s time to exhale, recause the weather is just fitie. At least for now, lest we fofgeU that it’s still winter and that we live in New England.

Moving further into the spring season, we can expect the amplified jet stream pattern to relax, allowing warmer tempera- tures and dry conditions to dohiihate in the east, according to the Network.

Even better, spring will become official in less than a week on March 20 at 12:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time. We’ye already set our clocks ahead, so for anyone con- fused with the term, EDT Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is 4 hours behind

Coordinated Universal Time. This time zone is a Daylight Saving Time, time zone and is used in North America and the Caribbean. This time zone is often called Eastern Daylight Time.

Michael Carter from Canada’s Weather Network, provided a comprehensive rundown on what can be expected oyer the next three months in our region.

As for March, El Nino doesn’t usually herald an early spring, but it’s looking

good for this year, according to Carter, “Fortunately, with this particular El Nino, looking at the long range models, the Northeast should expect spring to arrive on time.”

It seems to have arrived in February what with the unseasonably warm temper- atures and shocking lack of snow. So far, March has been even better with one day reaching 77 degrees in the Boston area.

“It’s a standard March,” said Carter, “It will go back and forth for sure. We’re coming off a winter that was remarkably mild.”

Carter says the March, April and May spring season will be a transitional season with an average high tem- perature in May of 66

degrees. The trend - or the pattern

for this year - will be cooler air towards the middle of March and the rest of March with one last parting shot from winter. Snow is expected for Sunday, as a matter of prediction, on the first day of spring.

We’ve been a bit spoiled this year, so one more snow storm in New England shouldn’t be so bad. Hopefully, it is the last snow- storm of the season.

As we move towards April

into May, warmer than normal conditions are expected across the entire northern tier with slightly more than normal jet stream stormy precipitation, according to Carter.

The Eastern Seaboard can expect more than normal to be on the wet-side.

Summer should bring a drying trend as the storm track diminishes on time late May early June - different than last year.

One last thing Carter pointed out is we will see signs of a more tropical activity.

At any rate, we can expect milder, better weather and daylight lasting a little bit longer in this season of renewal. Enjoy!

Congressman Seth Moulton co-sponsors bill for better Veteran Access to Mental Health Care Services

SALEM - MA Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA) worked with Congressman Mike Coffman (R-CO) to introduce the Fairness for Veterans Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at improving critical mental health services for our nation’s veterans. The bill would provide veterans combating post-traumatic stress (PTS) with greater eligibility for mental health services and other resources. Currently, veterans with less-than-honorable discharges, or “bad paper” discharges, may not be eligible for a broad range of health care and benefits including critical mental health care services.

“My fundamental principle is this: Our veterans deserve the best health care in the world,” said Moulton. “This bill would make needed improvements to our mental health services for all our veterans, and in particular, it would ensure that veterans combating post- traumatic stress receive the care and benefits they have earned. We have a duty to provide this care and I am proud to work with my col- league and fellow Marine, Congressman Coffman, to introduce this bipartisan legislation.”

“Increasing access to men-

tal health care care is a critical step to combating post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and in the case of veterans with severe mental health problems, access to these services may be life- saving,” said Coffman. “Twenty-two veterans die from suicide each day. This number is far too high and it is my hope that veterans with questionable, less-than- honorable discharges receive quick access to the mental health care they earned and deserve.”

The Fairness for Veterans Act ensures that combat veterans, whose condition should have been considered prior to their discharge,

Moulton: "My fundamental principle

is this: Our veterans deserve the

best health care in the world"

receive due consideration in their post-discharge appeals. A less than honorable discharge is often issued to service members for minor misconduct, including being late to for- mation and being absent without leave. These actions, however, can be linked with behavior seen in returning combat veterans suffering from PTS. Often service members with clear medical

minor misconduct rather than receiving a medical discharge or being retained in the military for treatment and rehabilitation.

The proposed legislation creates a presumption favor of the combat vetej during the post-dischal appeals process. If a veteij was deployed to a cor zone and diagnosed by mental health care prof sional as experiencing PT1

or TBI as a result of theiij deployment, the military’s! Discharge Review Boards! (DRB) must consider thia diagnosis with a rebuttable presumption in favor of the

veteran. This bill is

signing up to overhaul schedules without first holding public forums and other means of gauging public interest and concern in the shift.

DeLai reassured the committee that her signing the joint statement in no way commits Wilmington to changing the schedule.

“We’re just signing because, as a group of

Superinten- dents, we felt that if not everyone agreed then this would never go forward,” DeLai said. “The plan would be in the fall, once the analysis and scenarios have been completed, then we would hold a whole host of community forums on changing school start times across the district.

“This doesn’t commit us,” DeLai went on. “But if we don’t all sign on to at least

attempt to accomplish this then we’d be wasting our time.”

The joint statement sets a timeline with Fall 2018 as the hoped for debut of the new start time.

The Wilmington school committee voted unanimous- ly to allow DeLai to sign the statement.

“My colleagues will appreciate your support, as do I,” DeLai said.

towns of Reading, North Reading, Saugus, and Wilmington ensures monitoring of affordable housing inventory in those towns. In Wilmington, it specifically allows for monitoring of affordable units in the Avalon Oaks and Oaks West apartment communities, and assists the Planning & Conservation department in developing new units and maiiitaining the Town of Wilmington’s ten percent affordable status.

After a brief discussion of the merits of membership, the Board moved unanimous- ly to continue its participation in the agreement.

The Board provided updates on several town issues, including a status update on the 4th of July carnival'. As of last night’s meet-

' mg,' the RFP to secure a carnival operator—initiated by

-fioard motion at the February 22nd Board meeting—was in development.

The Board has filed a petition for resubmission with both the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. According to Town Manager

"Jeffrey Hull, in order to resubmit the application for special permit, it is necessary to demonstrate the application as materially different from the previous one.

The Planning Board will consider the amended appli-

cation for resubmission in a special meeting on March 21st. If the Planning Board approves it, the Zoning Board then would consider the resubmission based sub- stantive changes on March 24th, and vote on the issuance of the special permit during its April 13th meeting.

Other communications covered included an update on the proposed dog park adja- cent to the Middlesex Canal, and the withdrawal of a previous grant application for the Yentile Farm recreation- al area. Due to the construction schedule and the param- eters of the grant award, the majority of expenditures would be not be covered by the grant. In lieu of deferring construction to utilize grant monies for construction, the Town opted to withdraw its application.

Several other motions were passed during the meeting, including approval to sign and close the warrant arti- cles for the April 30th annual town meeting, the approval of a Wilmington Band Parents and Friends request to conduct concession and novelties sales at the Memorial Day parade, and the approval of a May 14th yard sale at the Swain School for the benefit of the Wilmington Band Parents and the Sons of Italy. Proceeds will be put toward

their scholarship program and other charitable uses. In a turn Wednesday morning the yard sale committee decided to postpone the yard sale due to a scheduling con- flict. They are looking at dates in the fall.

The next Board of Selectmen meeting is scheduled for March 28th, 2016 at 7pm at the Town Hall, 121 Glen Road.

The Merrimack Valley Chorus is one of several competitive choruses in the region. The members work to hone their craft and show their skills every spring for their sisters in song and guests alike. Springfield, Massachusetts is the home of the region’s annual competition.

In preparation, MVC holds an annual cabaret performance to preview their performance. They also host quartets from the chorus and surrounding area to prepare for the quartet competition. Merrimack Valley is full of supportive women who share a passion for the barbershop style of music. The

members come from a variety of back- grounds and a wide range of ability. Each member brings her lively spirit and individual skills to the stage to present a wall of sound and energy to all in the audience.

Come join them on April 24, 2016 at the Tewksbury Elks at 2:00 PM to enjoy the Annual Spring Cabaret - MVC- Women’s acapella excellence.

“Principles of Hospitality and Tourism”, “Sports and Entertainment Marketing”, among dozens of other sub- categories. Four students competed in a quiz bowl event, in which they placed third.

Every student took a 100 question multiple choice exam to kick off the event. On Friday, the students had two role-playing events in which they were presented with some kind of scenario and asked to come up with a solution and present that solution to a judge, yielding on-the-spot follow-up questions from the judge. The exam and the scores of their two role playing exercises are used to generate the students’ final scores.

No one excelled more than senior Maeve Sullivan, com- peting in “Business Service Management”. Sullivan finished first in the state in her category.

“I would say that one of the most important thing that we look for, and that the judges look for, is their ability to communicate well, leadership skills, and of course business knowledge,” said faculty advisor Margie Dunlap said.

Lawrence Gordon, a senior, placed fourth in the state in his category, “Quick Serve Restaurant Management”.

Joe Wilson, a freshman, competed in the “Principles of Hospitality and Tourism” category and placed sixth in the state, which faculty advisor Meghan Cool singled out as a “remarkable” achievement.

Cool has been with DECA for much of her six years with the High School, while Dunlap is currently in her first year with the school and with the club. Both are current Business teachers at the High School.

Dunlap and Cool were both highly enthusiastic about

the skills that participation in DECA can help students develop

“Whether you decided to go into a career in business or not, business skills can be used in all professions in all parts of their life,” Dunlap said.

“It’s so important, we can probably go on and on about this,” Cool said. “We’re able to send DECA students to meetings with the superintendent and school business partners. The skills that they learn from DECA really allow them to go to those meetings and feel confident speaking, providing the superintendent with updates, reaching out to the community for donations. These students get so many interpersonal skills from the program.”

Six students will now make the trip to the International Career Development Conference, to be held in Nashville, TN, in April.

“We’re proud of them for going this far,” Dunlap said. “As long as they can go there and meet new people and make new goals for themselves from last year and learn from this experience, that’s all we can ask for.”

While Gordon, Sullivan, and Wilson will be compete ing, the other three of the six students will be partici- pating in leadership activities and seminars over the course of the conference.

“We need a lot of leaders to shine through,” Cool said.

Tickets to Nashville are not cheap, and DECA has fundraisers planned for the remainder of the month, to go along with earlier fundraiser efforts throughout the year. Dunlap and Cool encourage any local businesses interested in helping sponsor the club to get in contact with them at the High School.

Tim Alberts and Ryan Quigley

Wilmington High AD job down to two finalists

Bv JAMIE POTE Sports Editor

[email protected] WILMINGTON - On

Tuesday afternoon, Wil- mington's Superintendent of Schools Mary DeLai announced that Tim Alberts and Ryan Quigley are the two finalists to replace Ed Harrison - who will be retiring at the end of the school year - as the next athletic director at Wilmington High School.

In an email sent out Tuesday, DeLai confirmed that Alberts, presently the Director of Athletics and Physical Education & Health at Matignon High School,

TIM ALBERTS

and Quigley, presently the Assistant Principal of Medway Middle School and former Athletic Director at Ashland High School, are the last two standing after 40- plus candidates first applied.

Three Wilmington people with ties applied including Kevin Welch, the longtime

WHS Site Manager and former Varsity Girls Tennis coach, Brie Karow, the current WHS Girls Basketball and Outdoor Girls Track coach, and Dennis Ingram, a three-seasoned subvarsity coach at WHS and Hall of Fame Athlete, but none of them made it to the final list.

According to DeLai's letter, the school administration will be hosting a Candidates Forum on Thursday, March 17th. The student forum will be. held from 2:30-3:30 at the Auditorium, the coach and staff forum from 3:00-4:00 and the parent and community. forum from 5-6:00 pm, the latter two to be held at the WHS Large Group Instruction Room. DeLai added in the letter, that “each group will have the opportunity to provide written feedback for each candidate to be shared with the High School Principal (Linda Peters) and Superintendent.”

Alberts, of Reading Mass, is in his third year as the AD at Matignon and he oversees 22 varsity athletic teams and 300 student-athletes. In July of 2014, he received his Certification in Athletic Administration. Recently he has been named the winner of the MIAA “Ted Damko Award” for District H. This award goes out to an athletic administrator with less than five years of experience for “making significant contri- butions to the league, district and state.”

Alberts, originally from Winchester, attended BC High School and was a stand-out soccer and lacrosse player. In fact he led those two programs to the best seasons in program history. He then went on to Marquette University, graduating in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in

Business Administration, before he completed Graduate School at the University of Missouri/Columbia with a Master's Degree in Education/School Counseling and Psychology.

He started out working back at BC High as a Director of Alumni Relations and the Assistant Director of Admissions for the Jackson- Walnut Park Schools, and also served as part of the high school's soccer and lacrosse coaching staffs.

Since becoming the AD at Matignon, Alberts has also served as the Girls Hockey Division 2 Site Director, while he is also a member of the MIAA North Football Scheduling, is the co-chairman of the Catholic Central League for Boys and Girls Hockey and he is also on the MIAA Board Member for

. high school boys lacrosse. Quigley has been a

coach/teacher/ administrator for over 15 years. He attended Ashland High School. He then earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Skidmore College, where he was a forward on the men's basketball team. He went on to receive his Master's Degree in Physical Education Wellness from Salem State in 2008.

Quigley coached in the Natick and Wellesley subvarsity levels in basketball, before becoming the Fresh- men/JV coach at Ashland from 2003-05. He then took over as the head coach at Keefe Tech in 2006 before coming back to Ashland for a three-year stint as head coach which included records of 5-15 in 2008-'09 and 3-17 in '09-'10. He left that position to become the assistant coach and strength and conditioning coordinator for two seasons at Framingham State College.

He did all of that as a coach while being a physical teacher in the Ashland School system. But in August of 2012, he was named the Ashland High School Athletic Director and served in that role until he resigned on April 15, 2015 to become the Assistant Principal at the Medway Middle School.

DeLai did not say in her letter when the final decision will be made.

Fifth Grader hits the slopes

Baldi finishes 12th at New Hampshire State competition

Bv BRENDAN FOLEY Sports Correspondent

[email protected]

DANBURY, NH/WILM- INGTON - There may not have been much snow on the ground this winter, but Colleen Baldi made the most of it.

Baldi hit the slopes of Ragged Mountain with her team, the Attitash Race Team, and together they made a major impact on the New Hampshire State Championships.

Baldi, 11, is in the fifth grade at the West Intermediate, and she has been skiing for almost her entire life. She started when she was three and has made the slopes a second home ever since. All those years of practice and training paid off last week, when Baldi finished 12th overall in the U12 New Hampshire State Championships.

“I really like going fast,” Baldi said. “I like the competition of it, and I’m really good at it I guess.” Just making it to the cham-

pionship was achievement enough. There are only three qualifying competitions throughout the season, with points determined by your best two runs. Baldi trained every weekend with her team and ultimately placed fourth in the Northern Division, earning her a bid at the championship competition.

Having been skiing for eight years, Baldi has had a lot of time to figure out what she needs to do in order to succeed in every heat.

“You need a lot of balance,” Baldi said. “And you defi-

nitely need to get close to the gate. You need to be really strong too, because you need to put a lot of pressure on the skis or they can slip.”

The State Championship included 102 different competitors from across the state, and Baldi managed to outski almost of them with impressive runs throughout the two-day competition. Baldi impressed on both the slalom and the giant slalom (GS) runs.

“The slalom is really short, while the GS is longer with

big turns,” Baldi said. “It’s harder for me to make those short turns than the long ones.”

But even though she might head into a run with an awareness of what her weaknesses are, Baldi can count on her coach and teammates providing her with support right up until she passes through the gate and begins streaking towards the finish line.”

“When I’m about to race, my coach is with me, and so are my other teammates,” Baldi said. “They say good things and build my confidence.”

She led off the day strong with a time of 56.53 on her first run, followed by 1.00.61 and 1.57.14 in her next two attempts at the course.

On the next day, Baldi started off with an amazing run through the GS course, finishing ninth with a time of 1.17.78. She bested her own time with her second run, speeding through the

GS with a time of 1.16.07. Baldi first got involved

with competitive racing after taking part in seasonal programs at the Attitash Mountain ski resort. She enjoyed the experience so much that she leapt at the chance to become a regular team member with the racing team.

“Probably the toughest part is getting in training,” Baldi said. “You think you’re getting it and are getting on a roll, and then you fall. It’s frustrating to know what you want but sometimes it never happens.”

“I do not and cannot ski at any level that these kids can,” laughed her mother, Jean Barrett.

When she isn’t skiing, Colleen Baldi enjoys playing soccer in the Wilmington Youth Soccer program. But the mountain is always wait- ing, and she hopes to keep skiing and keep improving until she is breaking through into the top ten.

Wilmington resident Colleen Baldi loves hitting the slopes and “loves going fast”. (courtesy photo).

[email protected] BILLERICA - Last

Thursday night, for the second game in a row, the Shawsheen Tech Boys Hockey team played in an instant classic state tournament game at the Chelmsford Forum.

Unfortunately for the Rams, this time the classic finish did not go their way, as they fell in a shootout to Watertown, losing by a score of 5-4 in the Division 3 North Sectional semi-finals.

Shawsheen led 4-3 late in the game, but four minute major penalty gave powerful Watertown the opportunity they needed, and the talented Raiders took advantage of their chance, tying the game with 1:46 left, and then winning by a 2-1 margin in the shootout after the teams remained deadlocked through two six minute overtime periods.

Griffin Blanch of Wilmington, Aaron Bennett, Jason Colletti and Sean Collins scored Shawsheen's goals. Colletti scored the Rams' goal in the shootout, while senior goalie Jack Stone of Tewksbury was outstanding between the pipes, keeping the Rams in the game in the first period, while making 38 saves on the night.

After shocking No. 1 seed Lowell Catholic last Sunday night with a thrilling come from behind 6-5 overtime victory in the quarterfinals, the No. 9 Rams (11-8-4) braced themselves for No. 13 Watertown (12-11-0), a team that is much better than their record indicates, as they play a primarily Division 1 schedule throughout the season.

Watertown had breezed the through the first two rounds of the Division 3 Tournament, winning by a combined score of 10-1, but Shawsheen gave the Raiders all they could handle, and as the game wound down to the closing minutes, it looked like the Rams might actually pull out another shocker.

“I thought it was going to (go our way)," Shawsheen coach Chuck Baker said. "I had my lucky trainer back with me from the year we went to the Garden (2011). The kids showed up. The kids have been looking forward to every single game. They have come together as a team here in the later part of the season.

“We stuck to the game plan pretty much, trying to be physical all the time, seeing that they don’t run that many players. But they have some skilled kids. They play Division 1, so those kids play that speed all the time. My kids answered the bell. They had them on the ropes, but they just could not close the deal."

Watertown jumped out on top early in this one, after a lengthy delay to the start of the game due to a scoreboard malfunction. Once the teams were finally able to take to ice, it took the Raiders just 1:22 to get on the board, with Tyler Poulin scoring on a perfectly executed 2-on-l set up from Tyler Gardiner.

After another delay due to the scoreboard, the teams were back at it again, with Watertown dominating the majority of play, outshooting the Rams 16-9 in the frame. But thanks to some outstanding work by Stone, the teams headed to the first intermission with Watertown still on top just 1-0.

“Jack has done a great job coming in with no tournament experience and he has gotten better each game," Baker said. "He’s a com- petitor in there.”

It was a different Shawsheen team that took to the ice for start of the second period. Shawsheen out shot Watertown 14-3 in the period, and with goals by Blanch and Bennett they took a 2-1 lead into the third period.

Blanch's goal came on a great setup in front from Zach Buckland, which the Wilmington native perfectly one timed past the Watertown goalie 3:44 into the period. A little later,

with 6:34 left in the second,, Bennett scored on an almost identical play, on a great setup in front by Matt Paolicelli. <;■,

Watertown, however is . not the defending state champions for no reason, and they came back strong in the third period tying the game with 12:11 left on a goal by Tim Connors, and taking the lead on Poulin’s second of the game with 11:32 left./

Shawsheen then dominated the next several minutes and were finally rewarded for their domination with 7:53 left with a power play goal, when Colletti circled around the Watertown next and stuffed one home to tie the game at 3-3.

Less than two minutes later, the Rams retook the lead when Collins scored on an assist from Derek Abreu, giving Shawsheen a 4-3 advantage with 6:18 left.

It was beginning to look like an upset (regardless of seeding) was in the making, but a major penalty for boarding put Shawsheen down a man for four minutes with 5:07 left in the game. They nearly killed it off, with Stone making several big stops.

But with 1:46 left Watertown’s Gardiner slid an innocent shot along the ice toward the Shawsheen net which the screened Stone never saw until it was already by him. The score was 4-4 and headed to overtime.

“That four minute major didn’t help us, having to kill that off. I thought we were actually going to kill it,” Baker said. “I am not sure if Jack misplayed where the puck was headed, but he totally lost sight of where it was going.”

Both teams had their chances in both overtime periods, but neither could convert and they headed for the dreaded shootout. Watertown’s Tyler Poulin and Michael Giordano scored on the Raiders first two tries on the shootout, giving them a 2-0 advantage, but they were shut down from that point on by Stone.

Shawsheen meanwhile got their only goal of the shootout on a clutch tally by Colletti in the first round, but were unable to convert in the final round and they saw their season come to a bitter end.

It was hard for Baker to be too bitter, however, given how hard his team had battled in this game against basically a Division 1 oppo- nent, as well as their previous two tournament wins against Swampscott and Lowell Catholic.

“It is what it is. It was a great battle. They are a good team. They show up to play and they have some real good players over- there. But we answered the bell and that is really all-1 can ask of these kids because there were times during the season when I didn’t know where we were heading,” Baker said. “This wasn’t one of our best seasons record wise, with the skill that we do have because we have some talented players in there, but I just didn’t think they were gelling as a team, but during the tail end of the season you could see them gelling and it was fun again. It was fun again in the locker room, and after a couple of wins in the tournament it was a lot of fun.

“I actually thought this team was going to be special and be able to go on. They gave it everything they had, and they tried to do it. That is the worst way to lose with the shootout.

“We surprised a lot of people. I have had coaches calling me telling me, coach whatever you are doing keep it up. We had a lot of people behind us and supporting us within our league and Division 3. They wanted us to go out and get Watertown. Everybody knows the schedule that they play and it is only going to help you as a program.

“We have a great JV program so we are going to come back next year. And now some of these kids have tournament experience, so we are going to be all right.”

Wilmington High School Sub-Varsity Sports Round-Up New Coach of Freshmen Girls Hoop team

Bv BRENDAN FOLEY Sports Correspondent

[email protected]

WILMINGTON- It is not every day that both the players and coach of a high school team are brand new to the school and team, but that is what happened when newcomer Gina Sicuso took over the Wilmington High School Freshmen Girls Basketball team.

“The Freshmen team is all about developing and having fun,” Sicuso, previously of Stoneham, said. “I wanted to make sure the girls had a good season, and that they had fun and developed so they could be ready for the JV and varsity level.”

The Wildcats went 4-8 for the season, showing steady improvement all throughout the year. One need only look at the arc of their games against Wakefield: Wilmington dropped the first two games, but in the third and final showdown the Wildcats took an early lead and staved off their opponents to finish on top.

“The third time, we were winning the whole game and we ended up winning by one,” Sicuso said. “It was a very physical, good game for the girls.”

That steady improvement was helped by offensive attacks by players like Ryan Bailey.

“[Bailey] was a big presence on the court,” Sicuso said. “She was a good driver and passer.”

Ginamarie Mastrorilli proved to be a major presence on both offense and defense.

“She knew how to take the ball down court and put it in the hole,” Sicuso said. “She was aggressive and not afraid to be physical.”

But it was through the efforts of the whole team that the Wildcats grew and improved throughout the year.

It took the combined efforts of forwards Sara Babcock, Gianna Brunetto, Emily Wright, and Jillian Cosman-Cyrus, and guards Kayla Bourrell and Kacie Bourrell to make the Wildcats into a true team.

“They improved on playing together as a team,” Sicuso said. “It was very much everyone doing everything at once, but by the end of the season they were running their plays and utilizing each other and they really knew how to play as a unit.”

Even without a winning record, Sicuso could not have been prouder of the season that she and her team had, making a big announcement of talent to the high school.

“I loved the community,” Sicuso said. “Everyone is so welcoming, and the team and coaches were all very welcoming from the start. It’s great to be a part of such an amazing program.”

JV GIRLS HOOP The Wilmington High

School JV Girls Basketball team had an up-and-down season, with big victories and big disappointments keeping the Wildcats on their toes throughout the winter season. Wilmington eventually finished with a 7- 12 record for the season.

“Our biggest challenge was that we were not able to shoot well from the free throw line,” coach Audrey Cabral-Pini said. “We lost a few games as a result. Many times we got fouled on the attempt and not only missed the basket but also the two free throws.” Forwards Kyra Walsh,

Molly O’Shea, Gabby Bond, and Dina Singh, as well as guards Kayley Keogan, Christina Wright, Taylor Briggs, Stephanie Nicoli, Cassidy Collins, Amanda LaFauci, and Jessica D’Entremont, all worked together to grow and improve.

This manifested itself in particularly strong fashion during Wilmington’s second home game against Watertown. Watertown had defeated Wilmington earlier in the season, and throughout the first half it seemed that history was going to

repeat itself. “We arrived at their gym

and were not. given ample time to warm’ up,” Cabral- Pini said. “As a result we played flat in first half. We were down at the end of the half by 17.”

But as the game wore on, the Wildcats refused to sur- render and began to make the plays that they needed to make and score the points that they needed to score.

“[We] played good second half but not enough to cover the deficit,” Cabral-Pini said. “Playing in our home gym (30 sec clock) we came from down seven at end of third [quarter] to win by seven. Great defense. We also were able to get few thirty second counts against them. This was a total team victory.”

The JV team was formed by four juniors, five sophomores, and two freshmen. But despite this mix of ages and abilities, the team learned to play together and continued to develop and grow as the winter wore on.

“They learned to play well as a team,” Cabral-Pini said. “Each game someone stepped up. Whether it was scoring a basket or shutting down a player. They commu- nicated well. Each player knew her role.”

JV BOYS HOOP A young team and a strong

division gave the Wilmington High School JV Boys Basketball team a lot of competition for the winter season, closing out with a 5- 12 record.

“The program in general was young. When you have a varsity program that is so young, it has a trickle-down effect,” head coach Dennis Ingram said. “The Middlesex league is very competitive, so every night you are playing against really good teams. If you aren’t playing the very best you can that night, it’s tough to compete.”

The program as a whole is in a state of flux following the resignation of longstand- ing varsity head coach Joe Maiella after the 1-19 season.

Ingram and his team, com- prised entirely of sophomores, tried to tune out what was happening with the program at large and focus on tackling the incredibly strong competition that forms the Middlesex league.

“There’s no games that you look at and say, ‘That’s going to be an easy one,”’ Ingram said. “They are all very good schools, from the large schools to the little ones. You have to be ready to play your absolute hardest when you are called on to play. And if you aren’t, we can’t be competitive that night.”

When the Wildcats were playing at their best, they could stand against almost anyone. Ingram points to the second game of the season, when Wilmington fought back from an 18-point deficit to defeat Lexington in overtime.

“We were firing on all cylinders that night,” Ingram said. “We had a couple of kids, Billy McEvoy, Joey Rebeiro, and they just had an incredible second half.”

McEvoy and Rebeiro proved to have a fairly unique advantage that bol- stered them past the oppos- ing defenses.

“Both of them are lefties, and in high school basketball these guys across the state usually play against guys who are righties,” Ingram said. “Being leftie, they can get that half-step, first-step advantage on their defenders. It really frees them up for an open shot.”

Chris Grecco also provided a boost to the team’s offense before he was called up to the varsity.

On defense, Sean Hardy and Andrew Almeida provided a strong spine for the back court.

“We were undersized as a whole unit, so we really depended on those two guys for interior defense and rebounding,” Ingram said. “There were a couple games

where we were missing one or both of those guys, and we really felt it there in the defensive end.”

Guards like Jason Spizuoco, Benjamin Maynard, Jack Boyle, Brett Tavares, and Justin Trevisani, and forwards Matthew Hansen, Kellan Hardy, and Alex Smiljic all showed skill and drive that left Ingram feeling very pos- itive about the future of the program, even with its current difficulties.

“The program has had a little bit of a tough go the last couple years,” Ingram said. “I see that as a great opportunity. People may be overlooking this town. We can become competitive, but it will not come easily.”

FRESHMEN BOYS HOOP

The Wilmington High School Freshmen Boys Basketball team fought their way through a difficult season, powering through losses to keep improving with each game. Finishing with a 2-12 record, these new Wildcats took their first step into the challenges of high school athletics.

“You never know what a season will be like,” coach Pat Taylor said. “All I hope for everywhere is that from day one to the end of the year, the kids get better. The team got better every day as the season progressed.”

Taylor praised the effort of

every boy on his team, from centers Samuel Vince and Kyle Kenyon, to guards Cameron Martin, Sean Stanford, Matthew Thomas, Michael Smolinsky, and Eric Nesline, to forwards Christopher Stokes, Joseph Dumoulin, Tyler Thomas, Jason Marquard, and Olufunmilola Olatilu.

In their two games against Watertown, their only victories for the season, Taylor saw his team click into place and deliver on all levels.

“We just seemed to be clicking on all cylinders during those two games,” Taylor said. “They played all 32 minutes real well, for both those games.”

Despite their efforts, the Middlesex League proved to

be a grueling gauntlet for j freshmen competition this i year.

“We were undersized, and ' with the Middlesex League and basketball, all three levels are tough,” Taylor said, i “The freshmen level seemed [ especially up this year. It i was a difficult year, as far as other teams having a lot of t talent.”

Even when their hard work did not yield the hoped for rewards; the team kept right on working.

“It doesn’t show in the win column, but they fought hard every game and gave it everything they had,” Taylor said. “We could be up ten or down twenty and they kept

playing. As a coach, all you can ask for is for your team to play hard, and they did that every game.”

Taylor hopes that the boys will take the offseason to continue to work on the fun- damentals of the game and be, ready to take the next jump in intensity when they head to the JV and varsity teams next season.

"Just keep working on gen- . oral skills. Shooting, pass- ■ ing, dribbling, all those things. All basketball players should work on those skills, you can never be too good,” he said. “At first they would

. all look for the ball and stare at the ball. They learned that they could create even more opportunities if they

; were moving, even when . they didn’t have the ball.”

JV HOCKEY The JV Boys Hockey team

grew and developed over the course of the winter, pulling off a winning season with an 11-10-4 record. Those wins did not come easy, as the Wildcats had to learn to work as a team and play the system that has guided the high school hockey program to success.

“With younger guys at the junior varsity level, it’s always tough getting them to buy into the system that we play,” coach Colin Foley

• said. “The first half of the season, you’re trying to coach on the go and develop the players in the way that you want them to play the

< system offensively and defensively. It can be hard for them to adapt on the fly.”

Anchored by sophomore Stephen Bowker in net, the Wildcats benefited from strong offensive play from sophomores Michael DuCharme, Joe Mirabella, Beil Pastore and freshman Cohnor Benoit. Benoit and Pastore led the team in goals with nine apiece.

On defense, freshman Conlin Duffy and sopho-

; mores Dylan Bresnahan and Thomas Robarge made big

impressions with their intelligence, strength and speed on the ice.

Offense from Max Shapiro, Dylan Wargo, Andrew Sullivan, Nolan Fitzgerald, Jared Homola, Justin Ely, Steven Lobao, and Christopher Spinazola, as well as defense from Michael Fiorenza, James LeFave, and James Luz pro- pelled the team past some tough competition.

Foley pointed to Wilmington’s three match- ups against the Shawsheen Tech as displaying some of the best hockey that the Wildcats had to offer all season.

“Those were three very good games, and they were all close games,” Foley said. “That’s one of Wilmington’s rivals, so it’s always good to play them.”

Wilmington went 2-1 against the Tech this season.

Even with individual strong performances, it took some time before the team found their footing with the Wilmington hockey system and began to play as a strong, functioning unit.

“The first half of the season, they struggled at times and some kids would do some things individually that you have to get on them about because they are used to doing it at the youth hockey level,” Foley said. “As the season went on, you work with the kids and then they start to learn and they start to do the system without thinking about it. It becomes a natural reaction, and that’s what you want.”

Getting the system down can be a struggle, but once skaters key into the way the coaches approach the game, it frequently results in some excellent hockey teams.

“Different levels of youth hockey and select hockey, they have different styles of play,” Foley said. “At Wilmington, we have a specific way we want them to play and if you buy into the system, you’ll have success.”

Red Rangers fall in quarterfinal round Bv BRENDAN FOLEY

' Sports Correspondent [email protected]

BOURNE- A remarkable season for the Tewksbury- Methuen Co-Op Girls Hockey team came to an end on Saturday following a dis- appointing game against Notre Dame Academy in the MIAA Division 2 Quarterfinals.

The game, held at the Gallo Arena, saw the Red Rangers outshot and out- skated, falling 8-2 against Notre Dame. ;The loss brings No. 1 seed

Tewksbury-Methuen’s overall season record to 17-2-3. Prior to Saturday, the only team to defeat Tewksbury- Methuen was Winchester. Winchester (No. 8 seed, 15-5 during the regular season) was. defeated by Notre Dame (No. 9 seed, 13-4-2) in the previous round of the tournament, 2-1.

Saturday’s loss brings with if the end of head coach Sarah Oteri’s first year with the team, a year that saw the Red Rangers grow from being dominated by one lead-scorer to a stronger col- lective of teammates all sharing responsibilities and strengths.

But for all their skill and strong team chemistry, Tewksbury-Methuen found almost all their offensive momentum stifled by the Notre Dame Academy defense. Over three periods, Notre Dame outshot Tewksbury-Methuen, 35-12.

“I think they [Notre Dame] had more experience,” head coach Sarah Oteri said. “They have more depth, more lines to play, and I think that makes a big difference.”

As Oteri pointed out, the Red Rangers have an almost

shockingly young team this year. Only captain Kat LeFebre is a senior, and Tewksbury-Methuen only has Niamh Cote, Annabelle Barrett, and Amanda Mambro for juniors. For comparison, Notre

Dame Academy has seven seniors on their roster.

In the first period, Tewksbury-Methuen did not get a shot on net until less than two minutes remained in the period. With 1:55 remaining in the period, Eryn Taber and Tewksbury- native Kelly Golini fired wild shot after wild shot, only for seventh grader Josie Mendeszoom to pick up a stray puck and finally put a shot on net. She scored, notching only her second goal of the season. Tewksbury-Methuen

trailed 2-1 after one period, thanks in large part to a heroic effort on the part of Kaia Hollingsworth, making astonishing saves all throughout the game under a near-constant barrage of shots.

“She made every single save we needed her to make,” Oteri said. “There’s no shame in anything that she did today.”

But in the second period, Notre Dame took complete control of the game and never looked back. They scored four times over the course of the period, rou- tinely using the same play of passing from just behind the net to a free skater out in front of the net for a one- timer.

“It was a little slump that we went through,” Oteri said. “You can’t go through something like that against the better teams, or they’re going to take advantage.”

Tewksbury-Methuen’s final

goal came with only 1:35 remaining in the period. After being neutralized for much of the game, the team’s key offensive line-up found their old reserve of chemistry. Senior captain Kat LeFebre fed the puck to Golini, who sent the puck to Taber, who buried it into the back of the net.

Golini and Taber have combined for 47 goals and 34 assists, creating an incredibly effective unit on the ice. But Notre Dame’s defense proved to be too fast and too strong for either Golini or Taber to find their usual foothold and bring forth goals.

Notre Dame scored twice in the third period, putting the Red Rangers away for good.

This is the second year in a row in which Tewksbury- Methuen has been knocked out of the MIAA tournament in the quarterfinals. Last year, the squad was knocked out by Burlington.

For Oteri, the end of her first year gives her a chance to reflect on what the team accomplished under her direction, and time to plan on where she’d like to lead them next.

“It was an awesome season,” Oteri said. “It’s going to be a tough one to beat, to be honest. They gave then- heart every single day, so they have a lot to be proud of. And now we’re moving on to next year.”

Notre Dame Academy went on to defeat Matignon, 9-3, in the semifinal game on Monday. Next Monday, Notre Dame will play against Wellesley to determine the Division 2 state champion.

Mite 4’s win title in dramatic fashion ' The winning ways continue for' Wilmington Youth Hockey. The Mite 4 team, which battled back twice from two goal deficits, defeated Dorchester in an overtime shootout to take home the 2015-2016 Valley Hockey League Championship.

Dorchester jumped to the lead just over two minutes in on a controversial goal as it appeared their player may have been offside on the play, however the goal count- ed and Wilmington was down 1-0.

.. The lead jumped to 2-0 with a goal just a minute and a half later. The Wildcats, as they had done all season, tightened their chinstraps gnd got to work. Cooper Foti, celebrating his seventh birthday, lit the lamp halfway through the first and . followed it up with another goal four minutes later to tie the game 2-2.

Dorchester, showing why they were first in the division, stormed back with two more goals to close out the first, period with a 4-2 lead.

Foti decided a hat trick would be a nice present and scored just 41 seconds into the second period on a nice feed from Jake Collins. Dorchester would get that goal back four minutes later, and that would be it for scoring in the second period, thanks in large part to the shutdown defense provided by Patrick Moriarty, Shae Gould, Macy Savage and Ryan Lavorato.

Ip addition, it is well know that defense begins and ends with a strong goalie between the pipes and Cam Saija stood tall throughout the playoffs and turned back a barrage of snipes from a tough Dorchester team.

Down 5-3 going into the third period but with the defense ’ battle-tested and ready, the offense turned on

period was a stalemate thanks in no part to the stout defense of Patrick Moriarty,

on the other end by a great save by the Dorchester net minder and Dot evened it up on a goal of their own.

It was Andrew Santo’s turn Matt Dali, one of the elder the strong positioning of now and he unleashed a

statesmen of the team, didn’t want to end his mite career with a loss and scored all of the Wildcats’ four goals in the third period. But Dali didn’t do it alone. Andrew Santo and Declan Savage both setup the goals with sweet passes to assist in the scoring. Like a heavyweight boxing match of old these two teams traded shots but the Wildcats won the period 4-2 and forced overtime with the score 7-7.

If the Malden Forum hadn’t been buzzing before it certainly was now as teams and parents from the next game were lined up all against . the boards: Combined with the enthusiastic cheers of family and friends including players from Wilmington’s own PeeWee 2 and State Champ PeeWee 1 teams, it was hard for one to hear themselves

Jake Collins and the solid back checking of Jake Cronin. With a tight defense and few scoring opportunities this meant that the mon- umental match-up would be decided in a shootout.

For some parents in the stands and for players Emma Ebert, Declan Savage and Macy Savage this must have seemed like deja-vu as their brothers had been on a Mite team that in 2012 won a semi-final game that went to a shootout and eventually won their own championship.

Wilmington had first crack in the shoot-out, and like he had done earlier, Cooper Foti found the back of the net. Cam Saija now faced down Dorchester’s most pro- lific scorer in a faceoff rem- iniscent of the Old West and won the battle as he denied the shot.

Matthew Dali was denied

wicked blast that landed just under the crossbar to give Wilmington the lead. Another denial by Saija end and it was Ryan Lavorato’s chance to score and he didn’t disappoint by putting one past the goalie after some nifty stick work. A goal by Dorchester meant that if Wilmington scored next the game would end and Wilmington would be crowned the champs.

The task fell on the able shoulders of Shae Gould and, speeding down center ice, she did not disappoint as she went wide side on the

. goalie to seal the victory. The arena exploded in pan-

demonium and a hard fought come from behind victory was secured by the Wilmington Wijdcat Mite 4s, the 2016 Valley League Champions.

Pee Wee 3’s come away with a big win over Peabody

The Wilmington Youth Hockey Pee Wee 3's picked up a big win over the weekend, routing their division their from Peabody by a score of 9-3 on Saturday afternoon at Veterans Memorial Rink in Somerville.

The Wildcats had dropped a 6-3 decision to Peabody earlier in the season, but things were much different this time around, as led by four goals and an assist from Ben McEwen, Wilmington went out to leads of 3-1 at the end of the first period and 6- 2 at the end of two before putting the game away with three more goals in the third.

After a mostly even played first half of the opening period, the Wildcats got on the board first on a great individual effort by defenseman Sean O'Donoghue to take a 1- 0 lead with 7:17 left in the opening frame. A little over a minute later McEwen would score his first of the game on a great setup by Shane Papineau to make the score 2-0 with 5:58 left.

McEwen came right back with another one with 3:23 left in the pepiod, converting a great 2-on-l setup from Shane Roberts for a 3-0 lead. Defenseman Will Kenyon also picked up an assist on the goal.

Peabody closed to within 3- 1 with a goal with 57 second left in the first period, but that only seemed to motivate the Wildcats more, as just 59 seconds into the second period Papineau alertly put in a rebound of his own shot to restore the three goal lead for Wilmington.

The margin would reach four goals, at 5-1 when Chris Patterson netted a beauty of a shot with exactly 5:00 left in the middle period, and the lead stayed at four goals at the end of two, when the teams traded goals in the

final minutes of the period. Peabody closed to within 5-

2 with 1:50 left in the period, but before they could get any ideas about a miraculous comeback, McEwen put those thoughts to rest putting in a rebound to secure his hat trick with 46 seconds left. Patterson and O'Donoghue assisted on the goal, and the Wildcats led 6- 2 heading to the final 12 minutes.

McEwen's fourth goal of the game pushed the lead to 7-2 just 2:44 into the third period on an assist by David Olson, converting a 2-on-l opportunity. After Peabody got to within 7-3, the Wildcats Anthony Angiuoni, who earlier in the game had put a brilliant move on a Peabody defenseman only to be denied on a great save, converted on a shot from the slot for an 8-3 lead with 6:13 left in the game.

Another 2-on-l led to the Wildcats last goal, this time with McEwen setting up Olson on a 2-on-l for a goal with 2:22 left, closing out an outstanding overall effort hy McEwen and the entire Wildcats roster.

While they did not end up on the score sheet, the forward line combination of Jordan Legere, Adam Ippolito and Tyler Sheehan were outstanding throughout the game, making several impressive rushes into the Peabody zone.

Meanwhile, defensively, in addition to the scoring of defensemen like O'Donoghue and Papineau, other defenders like Will Kenyon and Cam Tucker did a fine job in the Wilmington zone, while goalie Thomas Dalton was once again at the top of his game, denying any Peabody threats to keep the Wildcats firmly in control for the entire game.

Bantam 2’s battle against Watertown on the ice

The Wilmington Youth Hockey Association Bantam 2 team traveled to Watertown on Sunday afternoon, taking on Medfield for the third time this season.

With a full lineup on hand, the Wildcats looked to improve on the tie that occurred in the last meeting between these teams. Halfway through the first period, Cameron Banks opened the scoring on a feed from Max Shapiro and put Wilmington up 1-0.

The second period played out without any scoring. Wilmington took their only penalty of the game, but faced the shorthanded situa- tion with Joseph Hartzell, Jake Fox, Mark Miraglia and Brendan Kelley working the penalty kill and keeping the Wildcats ahead. Cohn Walsh skated at center on Sunday and took an active role helping out deep in the defensive zone.

Still up just 1-0 at the start of the third period, Wilmington extended the lead to two in the opening minute of the final frame. Cycling the puck in the offensive zone, Anthony Bowker moved the puck back to the blue line where

Shane Mercuri teed up a shot on goal. Cameroh Banks was at the front of the net to gather the rebound and score his second of the game.

Medfield responded with a goal in just a few minutes to again narrow the gap to one. In the next shift, Medfield was whistled for their only penalty of the game, but turned the tables with a shorthanded goal to tie the score at two.

After that Medfield surged, and the Wildcat's defense did all they could to hold the score even. Shane Mercuri, Harry Serounian, Liam Prigmore, and Ryan Packer helped out goalie Max Churchill, and also got an assist from the pipes as Medfield rang two shots off iron in the onslaught.

Surviving that, Wilmington got back in front when Cameron Banks blocked Medfield's attempt to clear their own zone and tracked down the deflected puck to score his third goal of the game.

Riding the hat trick, the Wildcats finished the game off cleanly and took the 3-2 win.

The Sachems battled back and quickly tied the game just 1:04 later.

The Sachems went on the powerplay late in the opening period and took a 2-1 lead.

The second period was a fast-paced up and down battle between two of the top Squirt teams in the State. The Jr. Redmen had the early chances but the Sachem goalie made some huge saves on scoring chances by Matthew Doherty, Nick Calouro, and Joey Bourgea. The Sachems also had a number of strong scoring chances but Jr. Redmen goalie Megan Cunningham was once again there to make all the big saves.

The Sachems came out flying in the third period but James Kierce and Cooper Robillard each made- out- standing defensive plays early on to keep the score 2- 1 in favor of the Sachems.

The Camp is located in Maine and consists of 238 acres with about a mile of waterfront on North Pond.
