Jillian Dempsey showed no signs of relinquishing her crown as the most elec-trifying player in the Pre-mier Hockey Federation or her reigning champion Bos-ton Pride team’s hold on the Isobel Cup.

It was a fantastic open-ing weekend of the 2021-22 season for Dempsey, the former Harvard Uni-versity star from Winthrop. The Boston Pride captain scored her milestone 50th career goal, assisted on linemate McKenna Brand’s short-handed winning goal

in Sunday’s 1-0 victory over the Whitecaps, and joined her teammates in un-veiling the 2021 National Women’s Hockey League championship banner. (The NWHL has changed its name to the Premier Hock-ey Federation).

But of all her glorious individual achievements as the Connor McDavid of women’s hockey, the hum-ble Harvardian seemed to enjoy the presence of her fifth-grade students in the crowd at the Warrior Rink the most. The Cummings School teacher extended a fist-bump through the glass

to acknowledge her stu-dents before the game, and there was the hero’s recep-tion that she experienced from them after the games as they waited patiently for her to emerge from the Pride locker room.

“I’m here to see Miss Dempsey,” said Cummings School fifth grader Mol-ly Titemore, who attended Sunday’s game with her family. “She’s a really cool teacher. I like her because she’s a hockey player and she can manage two things at once. This is my first time seeing her play hockey, and she’s awesome. I know she went to Harvard, too. I’m going to tell my classmates how much fun we had to-day.”

THE GREAT PUMPKIN DROP

By Marianne Salza

The Friends of Belle Isle Marsh dedicated an Educa-tion and Research Station in memory of founding member, Kermit Norris, a pioneer advocate for the conservation of Belle Isle Marsh. Following the November 6 ceremony, friends and family joined for refreshments and a walk through the meadow.

“I wish Kermit could be here because the research station would give him ex-traordinary pleasure,” said Norris’ wife, Debbi, who generously donated funds to build the shed. “Kermit’s relationship with Belle Isle Marsh and its importance to the local environment were ever-present in his mind. This is a reason to cele-brate.”

Norris, an East Boston resident, served as the presi-dent of Friends of Belle Isle Marsh during its conception in 1985, during a time when

the land was abandoned and unhealthy. Belle Isle Marsh was surrounded by a di-lapidated metal fence, and littered with beer cans and fast food wrappers. Plas-tic bags were stuck on the branches of trees.

Norris’ friend and found-ing member, Gail Miller, described him as warm, knowledgeable, and pas-sionate about preserving the environment. Norris was committed to protect-ing the “finned, furry, and feathered friends” that live in the park’s habitat.

“Kermit relished giving tours,” said Miller, who remembers first meeting Norris during his presenta-tion of exotic birds living in Belle Isle Marsh. “You felt his passion for this sa-cred environment, which he hoped to inspire others with. Kermit believed this place had to be protected for current residents and generations to follow.”

Norris’ wife, Debbi (speaking), donated funds to build a research station in memory of her late husband, Kermit. See more photos on Page 6.

al (as an assistant coach of the 2018 U.S. women’s hockey team), appreciates Dempsey’s impactful pres-ence and exceptional lead-ership.

“Jillian is a special per-son and a special player,” said Mara. “The way she dedicates herself to this game is second to none. And her work ethic, her in-tensity, her leadership – it’s awesome to be around.”

Boston Pride goalten-der Katie Burt, who played three seasons for Anthony Martucci’s Winthrop High varsity team beginning in the sixth grade,

said of her teammate, “I love Demps. She’s awe-some. Jillian’s the hardest worker on the ice and the ultimate professional. She shows up every day ready to work hard and she’s the ultimate leader who brings us all together.”

As her students rushed to take photos with her after

the game, Dempsey, who is playing on an All-Beanpot line with McKenna Brand (Northeastern) and Sammy Davis (Boston University), talked about the opening weekend of the new season.

“It’s a great start to the season,” said Dempsey. “I’m proud of today’s effort and obviously it’s great to start the year 2-0.”

As for her career goal-scoring milestone, Dempsey said, “It’s excit-ing. I’m more focused on the wins and getting us to where we need to be. It’s a great testament to all the linemates and teammates I’ve had.”

Dempsey, whose par-ents and sister were at the games, said it was nice to see the large crowd back in the rink [after COVID-19 affected attendance last

season]. “To have the lively crowd in Boston, to be able to have my students in the crowd, and my family and friends – that’s what makes its worth it. Having my stu-dents here really makes me smile. They pound on the glass, and I try to go over and give them a little fist-bump, give them a wave and let them know that I see that they’re here and appre-ciate all their support.”

VETERANS DAY -- HONOR

OUR VETERANS

It was 103 years ago on November 11, 1918, that World War I formally came to a conclusion on the “11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.”

Americans observed the first anniversary of the end of the war the following year when the holiday we now know as Veterans Day originated as Armistice Day in 1919.

The first world war was referred to at the time as “the war to end all wars.” It was thought that never again would mankind engage in the sort of madness that resulted in the near-total destruction of Western Civilization and the loss of millions of lives for reasons that never have been entire-ly clear to anybody either before, during, or since.

Needless to say, history has shown us that such thinking was idealistically foolhardy. Just 21 years later, Hitler in-vaded Poland on September 1, 1939, and the world again became enmeshed in a global conflagration that made the first world war seem like a mere practice run for the mass annihilation that took place from 1939-45.

Even after that epic second world war, America has been involved in countless bloody conflicts in the 76 years since General Douglas MacArthur accepted the Japanese surrender on the Battleship USS Missouri. and millions of our fellow Americans have fought and died in our nation’s numerous wars and military engagements since then.

“Peace is at hand” has been nothing but a meaningless slogan for most of the past 103 years.

Armistice Day officially became known as Veterans Day in 1954 so as to include those who served in WWII and the Korean War. All of our many veterans since then also have become part of the annual observance to express our nation’s appreciation to the men and women who bravely have answered the call of duty to ensure that the freedoms we enjoy as Americans have been preserved against the many challenges we have overcome.

Although Veterans Day, as with all of our other national holidays, unfortunately has become commercialized, we urge our readers to take a moment, even if just quietly by ourselves, to contemplate the debt we owe to the veterans of all of our wars and to be grateful to them for allowing us to live freely in the greatest nation on earth.

If nothing else, Veterans Day should remind us that free-dom isn’t free and that maintaining our freedom since our nation’s founding has required the personal sacrifice of the millions of our fellow Americans who have placed their lives on the line to preserve our ideals and our way of life.

By Anthony D’Ambrosio

The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted our communi-ty in virtually every way imaginable. It laid bare all our society’s vulnerabili-ties and inequities, as well as the ways in which our leaders are failing in their obligations to Massachu-setts residents. The pan-demic also accelerated our country’s shift to online learning, remote work, and virtual healthcare and le-gal services. Many of these changes are never going away, and we need leaders who thoroughly understand them. I am the right person to lead this district forward as we begin to not only re-cover from the pandemic but also rebuild for the 21st century.

At Yale and the Univer-sity of Cambridge, I studied how periods of dramatic technological change al-tered America’s culture and economy. My classes often drew comparisons be-tween the present day and the Gilded Age, with our technology CEOs acting as glorified robber barons. Those comparisons are ac-curate but also inadequate; the rise of big data and me-

ga-monopolies within the technology industry today poses a truly unprecedented threat to jobs, privacy, and economic development. We have never seen anything like this before.

In my private sector ca-reer, I have worked with some of the most inno-vative technology com-panies in the world. The integration of technology companies into our econ-omy grows exponentially every day, which is why it is absolutely vital that we have representation that understands how these companies work and how their decisions impact our communities. I am the only person in this race with the experience to secure a real seat at the table with the CEOs, Boards of Direc-tors, and key stakeholders of the organizations that are driving change within this state and country. I have sat across the table from tech-nology executives before, and, if elected, I will do so again to fight for the inter-ests of our residents. The power of workers will not be ignored.

I also have a deep back-ground in education. I have served as an elect-ed member of the Revere

School Committee, and I played a pivotal role in guiding the City through the COVID-19 pandemic. At the height of pandem-ic turmoil last spring, my colleagues and I posited a data-oriented approach for determining how and when to re-open schools.

During the pandemic, I made it my mission to work directly with students and school administrators on developing new strate-gies to overcome the many psychological and physical challenges that children face today. I have observed many of these challenges firsthand while teaching public school classes on disability and mental health issues related to social me-dia and academic perfor-mance. That is why I joined my School Committee colleagues in implement-ing enhanced districtwide mental health services for students. It is clear that many of our children are suffering.

On the School Commit-tee, I also spearheaded the creation of a citywide Eq-uity Advisory Board that brings together parents, teachers, students, and oth-er community stakeholders to develop creative solu-

tions to address educational inequities. In developing the Board, I drew on my previous experience as the leader of Dwight Hall, a 3,500-person non-profit or-ganization. Dwight Hall’s mission is “to nurture and inspire students as leaders of social change and to ad-vance justice and service.” Dwight Hall’s programs strive to form a more just society that meets the needs of the community in a fair and dignified way. I have sought to continue this mis-sion through my work on the Revere School Com-mittee.

My experience in ed-ucation, technology, and finance, within both the private and public sectors, provides me the experience to ensure that our Com-monwealth recovers fully and that our children are properly prepared for the jobs of the 21st century.

Please join me in this ef-fort.

120 years agoNov. 16, 1901Winthrop voters were

treated to what will go down as the most turbulent Town Meeting in town history, al-most rivaling those of our sister town of Revere. The meeting became out-of-con-trol when a voter asked the moderator why a certain article was not on the war-rant. Mr. Craib, speaking for the Board of Selectmen, re-plied that the article had not been included by the select-men because they had felt that the article was not in the best interests of the town.

One of the subjects for which many readers request historical information are the Narrow Gauge Rail-way Stations that existed in Winthrop during its almost 70 year adventure with rail transportation. Commenc-ing with a very brief period of a horse drawn trolley in the early 1870’s it devel-oped, by 1888, into a suc-cessful railroad of narrow gauge (3 foot wide) track that ran a loop through the Town before returning to its origin. This train con-nected to the run through East Boston that ended at the terminal for Ferry ser-vice to Boston. This line started with steam driven locomotives pulling a small number of passenger cars on a single track. In 1903, the line was double tracked to be able to provide train service in both directions thereby reducing travel time for its passengers. In 1928, the entire system was electrified but on January 27, 1940, its operation was regretfully discontinued for financial reasons.

As the “History Buffs” in town know, the nine stops along the Narrow Gauge Railroad line in Winthrop were at the (1) Pleasant Street, (2) Cherry Street (Battery), (3) Highland, (4) Ocean Spray, (5) Shir-ley Street (Playstead), (6)

Beach, (7) Thornton Park, (8) Center and (9) Ingalls Stations. As requested by our readers, we are random-ly devoting an article to each of the nine stations along the Narrow Gauge railroad loop that served the commuters in Winthrop. This week’s article addresses the Ingalls Station which was original-ly located on the western side of Walden Street across from Walden Place. The stairs down from Herman Street to Walden Place are one of the many footpaths still in town that were built so residents could take more direct routes when walking to the station nearest their home. The street was named after the early President of the Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn Railroad, Edwin Walden. The first picture shows the station as initially built in 1887/8 with a single track extending North to the bridge where the train passed beneath Main Street. Later, when the railroad loop through Winthrop was dou-ble tracked in 1903, the sta-tion was moved to the East-ern side of Walden Street at the South side of Walden Place as seen in picture two taken from where the tracks crossed Lincoln Street. Again, in the distance, one can see the bridge where the double tracked train passed under Main Street.

The third picture shows the station in this new location behind the fence and across the street from the ticket of-fice that was installed when the local railway system was electrified in 1928. Note the overhead wires to sup-ply power to the trains. In the foreground are Mr. and Mrs. (victor & Charlotte) Davis waiting for the train to arrive. The fourth picture depicts this station in 1940 just after windows and doors were removed as the first step in razing the building. The brick building shown on the left was occupied by a welding shop in the 1960’s and now houses the Stasio Lumber Company. An in-teresting side note, when the tracks were removed, the remaining trench running to Main Street was used for the collection of iron, brass, copper, rubber and other scrap materials for use during World War II. Sever-al of those who were here as school children during this period remember partitions in the trench to separate the materials while others have stated that everything was dumped together and sort-ed out later. If anyone has a picture of this area during the war years, please contact the writer at 846-2901. Your call would be appreciated.

WINTHROP MARKETPLACE

35 REVERE ST., WINTHROP (617)846-6880

NEW ORLEANS STUFFED ARTICHOKESINGREDIENTS:10 whole artichokes1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs4 ounces provolone cheese, shredded10 pimento-stuffed green olives, chopped½ bunch fresh parsley, chopped5 cloves garlic, minced1 bunch green onions, finely chopped

2 small stalks celery, finely chopped½ green bell pepper, finely chopped1 teaspoon lemon juice1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)4 (2 ounce) cans anchovy fillets, chopped1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce1 tablespoon olive oil, or as neededsalt to taste

Directions:STEP 1: Prepare the artichokes by slicing off the bottoms of the stems and trimming the tips of the leaves. It is easiest to use scissors for the leaves. Tear off the small leaves around the base and discard.

STEP 2: Place the artichokes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Place a dinner plate on top of them to keep the artichokes from floating out of the water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes, or until some of the leaves are floating in the water; drain and cool.

STEP 3: In a medium bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, cheese, ol-ives, parsley, garlic, green onions, celery and bell pepper. In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, anchovies, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil and salt; stir into the bread crumb mixture.

STEP 4: Tear off one large square of aluminum foil for each artichoke. Place an artichoke in the center of a square and tuck about 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese mixture under each leaf. Bring the foil up around the artichoke leaving the top open.

STEP 5: Place a wire rack or steamer insert into the bottom of the large pot. fill with about 3 inches of fresh water, or so that the artichokes remain above water level. Set artichokes in the pot upright and bring to a boil. Cover and let artichokes steam for about 3 hours. Remove from the pot and allow to cool to room temperature before serving.

CLARK RELEASES NEW DATA ON THE CHILD TAX CREDIT’S IMPACT ON STATE FAMILIES

Assistant Speaker Kath-erine Clark (MA-5) high-lighted a new fact sheet from the Joint Economic Committee that outlines how the Democrats’ Child Tax Credit (CTC) is already meeting the urgent needs of Massachusetts families by helping parents make ends meet and positioning the economy for stronger growth for generations to come.

“The American Rescue Plan’s tax cut for families is working! This pandem-ic and its economic fall-out have brought many Massachusetts families to their breaking point but

since Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan last March, the extended Child Tax Credit — one of the largest tax cuts for families in U.S. history — has helped provide sup-port to over 70,000 children in Massachusetts’ Fifth District,” said Assistant Speaker Clark. “Through the Build Back Better Act, House Democrats are con-tinuing our work to help families and our economy to recover and thrive. The Child Tax Credit and the Build Back Better Act put the needs of families first and are key to building a just, inclusive, and equita-ble America.”

In October 2021, new Child Tax Credit data shows that 72,000 children received payments total-ing over $24.3 million in the Fifth District. Anoth-er monthly payment will be sent on November 15, 2021.

These successes prove the need to extend the ex-panded CTC through the

Build Back Better Act. As outlined in a newly released White House fact sheet, the historic investments called for in the framework would bolster financial security and spur economic growth in Massachusetts by re-ducing taxes on the middle class and those striving to break into it.

Led by President Biden and Democrats in Con-gress, the American Res-cue Plan was signed into law in March 2020 to help families recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Build Back Better Act ex-tends the tax cut for fami-lies by continuing to pro-vide families $300/month per child under 6 or $250/month per child ages 6 to 17.

Critically, the Build Back Better Act also includes permanent refundability for the Child Tax Credit, mean-ing that the neediest fami-lies will continue to receive the full Child Tax Credit over the long-run.


treated to what will go down as the most turbulent Town Meeting in town history, al-most rivaling those of our sister town of Revere. The meeting became out-of-control when a voter asked the moderator why a certain article was not on the war-rant. Mr. Craib, speaking for the Board of Selectmen, replied that the article had not been included by the selectmen because they had felt that the article was not in the best interests of the town. At that point, a doz-en voters jumped from their seats asking to be heard, and even speaking without being recognized. One member asked what the unapproved article was. Craib read the ar-ticle, which called for the ap-pointment of a committee of five to investigate the town’s finances. Craib said the se-lectmen removed the article because it implied financial wrongdoing by town of-ficials, at which point the town meeting erupted into a shouting match between those who felt that the se-lectmen had exceeded their authority and town officials who responded by saying the article was scurrilous. The moderator asked for a vote to

adjourn which was approved at 9:05 p.m. with none of the

work of the meeting having been accomplished.

Special to the Transcript

Attorney General Maura Healey endorsed Lydia Ed-wards for Senate with a can-vass kick-off at Lopresti Park in East Boston. The cam-paign was joined by Unite Local 26, which also formal-ly endorsed Edwards today. Members and over 100 vol-unteers rallied their support and then hit the doors to ask voters across the district to cast their ballots for Lydia Edwards for Senate on De-cember 14, 2021.

“Lydia always shows up for the people she serves, but most importantly, Lyd-ia knows that good change comes from public policy rooted in humanity. It’s not enough to protect workers’ wages; she protects their dig-nity,” said Attorney General Healey. “No one will fight harder for this District than Lydia Edwards. This election matters and we’ll do every-thing we can to make sure she wins on December 14.”

“Attorney General Healey is a champion for working people and beyond, and I am so grateful for her support and excitement about this campaign,” said Edwards. “This energy is the perfect way to hit the ground for the final sprint to Election Day, and as I see the strong voices and leaders who have joined us today, I am over-whelmed by your faith in me. I am inspired everyday by the strength and character and grit of the people who live here and you are the rea-son why I am fired up to go to Beacon Hill as your next senator!”

Standing with Ed-wards and Attorney Gen-

eral Healey were dozens of members from UNITE HERE Local 26, represent-ing workers in the hospital-ity industries of Massachu-setts and Rhode Island. “For our members to recover from the pandemic, we need to elect Lydia Edwards to State Senate,” said UNITE HERE Local 26 President Carlos Aramayo. “We have six weeks to change the lives of generations in Mas-sachusetts with the courage and commitment of Lydia Edwards. When we endorse, we put in the work and we will be getting out the vote – for our moms, our kids, and our future.”

Edwards was also joined by City Council colleagues Kenzie Bok and Ed Fly-nn, as well as State Repre-sentative Nika Elugardo. A number of organizations joined the rally and hit the streets in Winthrop, Revere, Boston and Cambridge, in-cluding: OPEIU Local 453; the North Atlantic States Regional Council of Car-penters; UFCW Local 1445; Iron Workers Local 7; Team-sters Local 25; IBEW Local 103; SEIU 509; Massachu-setts Nurses Association; the Brazilian Workers Center; and the Chinese Progressive Association.

UNITE HERE Local 26 represents workers in the hospitality industries of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Its members work in Boston and Providence’s best hotels, restaurants, and university dining halls in addition to the Boston Convention Centers, Fen-way Park and Logan Inter-national Airport. Local 26 members clean hotel rooms,

greet guests, and prepare and serve food for hundreds of thousands of travelers to Boston and the northeast.

Prior to entering the City Council, Councilor Edwards worked exten-sively in the legal field serving as a judicial law clerk with the Massachu-setts Superior Court and the Massachusetts Appeals Court. Edwards worked as a public interest attorney with Greater Boston Legal Services focusing on labor issues such as fighting for access to unemployment insurance, back wages, fair treatment for domestic workers and combating hu-man trafficking. She served as the statewide campaign coordinator for the Massa-chusetts Coalition for Do-mestic Workers, which ad-vocated for the passage of the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. In 2015, she was named Bostonian of the Year by the Boston Globe.

Lydia Edwards is a can-didate for State Senate rep-resenting the First Suffolk and Middlesex District, following the departure of Senator Joseph A. Boncore. For a full and up-to-date list of endorsements, vis-it: LydiaEdwards.org/en-dorsements.

IS CRITICAL TO OUR SUCCESS

Special to the Transcript

In the special election to State Senate, Lydia Ed-wards has been endorsed by House Chair of Ways & Means State Representa-tive Aaron Michlewitz and State Representative Adri-an Madaro. Primary Elec-tion Day is December 14, 2021. General Election Day is January 11, 2022.

Chairman Michlewitz said, “Lydia Edwards is an advocate who understands the power of good public policy. Just in her role as a City Councilor, she has crafted state legislation and built the coalitions around her work to secure real results for the people she serves. Lydia is an incredi-ble public servant and I look forward to working with her in the State House.”

Chairman Michlewitz serves as the State Repre-sentative for the Third Suf-folk district, representing parts of Downtown Boston including the North End, Chinatown, Bay Village, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, and the South End. The current district geographic bound-ary overlaps with those of the Massachusetts Senate’s 1st Suffolk and Middlesex district and 2nd Suffolk district. As a North End resident, he has been a con-stituent of Lydia Edwards since she was sworn in as a Boston City Councilor in January 2018.

In endorsing Lydia Edwards, Representa-tive Madaro said: “I have worked side-by-side with Lydia Edwards for years now, and I have had a front-row seat to her strength,

tenacity and determination. She understands the unique challenges facing East Bos-ton and nearby waterfront communities and she has consistently used her role on the City Council to be a voice for the people. I am excited to partner with her again in the State House. Lydia has my vote on De-cember 14.”

Representative Madaro had considered a run for this Special Senate elec-tion, but in mid-September, opted not to run to spend time with family, including his infant son Matteo. Rep. Madaro serves as the State Representative for the First Suffolk district, represent-ing Boston’s Ward 1 (East Boston). As a lifelong East Boston resident, he is also a City Council constituent and neighbor of Edwards.

Candidate for State Senate Anthony D’Ambrosio hit the campaign trail last week in Win-throp, going door to door to meet the residents, ask for their support and build a better understanding the constituency he will be representing if he wins in the December special election.

WHS BOYS SOCCERWINS TOURNEY OPENER

The Winthrop high boys soccer team advanced to the round of 16 in the Di-vision 4 state soccer tour-nament with an 8-3 victory over Bishop Connolly this past Saturday in an open-ing round contest at Miller Field.

The Vikings sprinted to a 3-0 lead at the outset thanks to Gustav Hemmingsen, who lit up the Bishop Connolly net for all three goals within a six-minute stretch thanks to some great through-balls from his teammates that sent Gus-tav in alone on the Bish-op keeper, whom he beat cleanly every time.

On one of the goals Hem-mingsen deked a defender literally off his feet after taking the pass and cutting from right to left about 10

feet out, from where he then proceeded to deliver the ball past the keeper.

After the Hemmingsen onslaught, Bishop Con-nolly called a time-out to regroup and fought back with two goals. However, Aymane Cherki, assisted by Esteban Alvarez, responded for Winthrop to leave mat-ters at 4-2 at the intermis-sion.

The Vikings maintained their momentum to start the second half, with Jeroni-mo Jimenez making it 5-2 with an assist from Hem-mingsen.

A few minutes later, Hemmingsen scored his fourth goal of the game off a pass from Juan Gu-auque. Bishop Connolly was able to score one more before Viking Carlos Dura restored the Vikings’ four-goal margin with a penalty

MIAA STATE PLAYOFFS

Winthrop advances with 35-0 victory over South Hadley

By Cary Shuman

Taking control on both sides of the football in the first quarter, Winthrop High defeated South Hadley, 35-0, in a Division 6 state playoff game before a large crowd at Miller Field.

Welvis Acosta rushed for three touchdowns while Cam Martin excelled on offense and defense for the Vikings, who kept the vis-iting Tigers from western Massachusetts out of the end zone for all 48 minutes.

Meanwhile, the Vikings’ outstanding 6-foot-4-inch lineman Pete Jurovich made the “play of the game” in the first quarter when South Hadley entertained thoughts of driving for the game-tying touchdown. Jurovich raced across the field to separate the South Hadley ballcarrier from the football and cause a fum-ble. Mikey Chaves scooped up the football in stride and returned it 17 yards to the South Hadley 8-yard line.

Martin scored on an 8-yard run and Anthony In-drisano rushed for the two-point conversion, and the lead was 14-0 with 5:21 left in the first quarter.

Martin had earlier con-tributed to the first touch-down with a reverse hand-off to Acosta, who scored from 11 yards out.

Winthrop made it 21-0 when quarterback Robert Noonan connected with Ian Harris on a 16-yard com-

pletion to set up the Vikings on the 1-yard line. Noonan did the touchdown honors and Juan Sanchez booted the PAT to give Winthrop a 21-0 lead.

Acosta’s 9-yard TD run, set up by Martin’s long-gainer, made it 27-0. Noonan then connected with Acosta for the two-point conversion.

Rising freshman run-ning back Nick Cappuccio sprinted through the South Hadley defense to set the Vikings up in prime scor-ing position, just falling short of the goal line. Acos-ta scored his third TD on a 1-yard run to complete the 35-0 triumph.

Head coach Jon Cadi-gan, defensive coordina-tor James Fucillo, and the coaching staff put together a solid game to shut down South Hadley’s offense which had scored 42 points in a win over Chicopee, one of the larger communities in western Massachusetts with a population of 55,000 residents.

“I thought we played well in all phases of the game,” said Cadigan. “There were things special teams wise we wanted to do and that was kicking the ball off deep, and we got that done. We had a punt return for a touchdown called back for a touchdown, which was disappointing, but then we also had a blocked punt. Of-

applied the coup de grace with a marker with about 10 minutes to go for the 8-3 final.

“We played a great game and it was a total team ef-fort,” said WHS head coach Kyle Gagin. “It was the first time that the Winthrop boys’ soccer program had ever hosted a game, and for the boys to do it in front of a crowd made it all the bet-ter.”

Winthrop, which fin-ished with a record of 10-6-2, entered the tourney

as the 14th-seeded team in D-4. Bishop Connolly (8-3-1) was the 19th seed among the 39 teams that qualified for the D-4 tourney.

Gagin and his crew were scheduled to play Rock-land, the #3 seed, yesterday (Wednesday) at Holbrook High. The Bulldogs de-feated Advanced Math by a score of 4-0 in their tour-ney-opener.

If the Vikings were suc-cessful yesterday, they will advance to the quarterfinals on Saturday to face the win-ner of the West Bridgwater v. Lynn Tech matchup.

WHS GIRLS SOCCER WRAPS UP SEASON

The Winthrop High girls soccer team concluded its season with a split of its two contests in the final week of play.

The Lady Vikings’ victo-ry came in a 3-0 shutout of Salem. Winthrop grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first half on a goal by Emma Holmes from Mia Martucci. The Lady Vikings put the game away in the second half with a pair of goals, one by

Reese Brodin from Brian-na Marley and the other by Maddie Stiglets from Stefa-nia Spinazzola.

“It was a great team ef-fort and a nice win for us,” said WHS head coach Trac-ey Martucci.

Winthrop concluded its season with a 4-0 loss to Swampscott.

The teams stood at nil-nil through most of the first half before Swampscott broke the deadlock.

“They are a very strong team and it ended up 4-0,” said Martucci.

Reflecting on the 2021 season, Martucci said, “Un-fortunately, due to the new format and moving us up to D-3 this year, we did not make the tourney. With the 14 seniors and remaining varsity players, I think we could have done some dam-

age in the D-4 tourney. We have some talented players with a lot of heart, so to see this season end so abruptly after having made the tour-ney over a period of many years, it was a hard ending to a tough season.

“But these girls never gave up in any games and our record did not reflect the fight they put into each game,” Martucci added. “I‚Äôm very proud of these girls. Graduating 14 se-niors, my daughter being one of them, next season will be a huge turnaround year. I‚Äôm looking for-ward to what the next few years with these younger players have in store for us.”

Martucci mentioned the efforts of a few of her players from the 2021 cam-paign.

“Our goalie, Manuela Mejia, played an amazing season with tough com-petition,” said Martucci. “Senior captain Summer Tallent stepped into a po-sition that she wasn’t used to when our star sweeper, senior captain Julia Mar-coccio, got a season-ending injury.

“There also was senior captain Mia Martucci, who became the second assist point leader in WHS girls soccer, and the stellar play by Abby Holmes, with her defensive attacking throughout the season, and Nora McCarey, who was our most aggressive player in the air,” Martucci added.

Two Lady Vikings, Sum-mer Tallent and Mia Mar-tucci, were named to the Northeastern Conference All-Star team.

fensively when you score 35 points, that’s a good night. And defensively, you give up zero, that’s a pretty good night.”

Winthrop will play at No. 4 seed Rockland in the quarterfinals Thursday at 6 p.m. The game was wisely moved to Thursday because of the weather forecast for rain (90 percent chance) Friday.

Rockland defeated Easthampton, 27-0, in its playoff opener. Rockland and Winthrop both had shutout victories over Sau-gus during the regular sea-son.

PLAYOFF NOTEBOOKMartin, Acosta lead the

way for VikingsCam Martin gets a grade

of A-plus in the first playoff game of his career. Martin scored a touchdown, inter-cepted a pass, had six tack-les, recovered a fumble, and executed reverse handoff plays to perfection. Martin also had a punt return for a touchdown that was called back for the second time this season.

Martin finished with 11 carries for 96 yards. He won the Black Shirt award as the Vikings’ defensive player of the game.

“Cam is a pretty dynam-ic player wherever you put him,” said Coach Cadigan. “He can make plays on de-fense, offense, and special teams. It’s always good to get the football in his hands in all phases of the game.”

Martin said some pre-game video evaluation of South Hadley’s offense helped prepare the Vikings for the game. “We had some good film-study and were well prepared for the game by our coaches,” said Martin. “We were ready, and it was great to have the crowd behind us.”

Welvis Acosta had an-other excellent perfor-mance with 10 carries for 57 yards and three touch-downs. Acosta was named a Boston Herald Star of the Week.

“It can’t just be the Cam [Martin] Show if we want to keep advancing and playing in these games,” said Cadigan. “And I think Welvis is really starting to prove that he’s a physical back and one of our stron-ger guys, and you’re start-ing to see it.”

Anthony Indrisano has also emerged as an import-ant contributor on offense, which should give the Rockland coaches another factor to consider for their quarterfinal round matchup versus Winthrop.

Marquez blocks a punt Victor Marquez had a

block of a South Hadley punt, accentuating Win-throp’s above-average per-formance on special teams.

“That was a very good play,” lauded Jon Cadigan.

A big day for Pete Jurovich

Pete Jurovich once again had a major impact on the football game.

“Play of the day,” said Jon Cadigan, in describing Jurovich’s dash across the field to force a first-quar-ter fumble. “Pete just came out of nowhere with a great play coming from behind to strip the football which Mikey picked up and re-turned to the 8-yard line. That’s strictly an effort play by Peter. When the biggest guy on the field plays with the amount of effort that he plays with, it’s really no wonder you have schools looking at Pete to play at the next level.”

Jurovich also “stayed at home” for a 1-on-1 tack-

le on what looked like a well-engineered quarter-back draw play by South Hadley. Can you imagine being the South Hadley QB and you believe the play is working exactly as de-signed – and then you get past the line of scrimmage with some running room ahead, and there is the 6-foot-4-inch, 270-pound Jurovich ready to lower the boom for a tackle? Nice

play, Pete.Coach Cadigan reported

that a University of New Hamsphire football coach visited with Jurovich earlier that day at Winthrop High School.

“It’s great to see Pete getting the recognition he deserves from people out-side the Winthrop football program,” said Cadigan.

TOUCH. DOWN. : Cam Martin (8) plants a hand in the end zone to give Winthrop a 13-0 lead with 5:21 left in the first period.

SLOWED, NOT STOPPED: Mikey Chaves (2) is slowed along the sideline by South Hadley’s Brock Fitzell but Chaves broke away for a long gain.

CLEARING OBSTACLES: Winthrop’s Charlie Dassau removes South Hadley’s Brady Currier from the path of Viking run-ning back Cam Martin.

SYMBOLIC OF THE NIGHT: Winthrop’s defense dominated the night, shutting out the visiting Tigers and stopping their offense cold. Here Joe Hayes (34) and Peter Jurovich smother South Hadley’s Owen Dawson for a loss of yards.

GO THIS WAY: Viking head coach Jon Cadigan points the way for running back Cam Martin, escorted by quarterback Rob Noonan on a long run that set up a Viking touchdown. The Vikings didn’t need much help finding the end zone on their way to a 35-0 win over South Hadley in the opening round of the MIAA Division Six football tournament.

Staff Report

The month of November is National Family Care-givers Month which offers an opportunity to honor the countless family care-givers that work tirelessly each day to attend to their

family members’ needs. Mystic Valley Elder Ser-vices (MVES) is pleased to provide affordable and accessible services needed by these caregivers through the agency’s Family Care-giver Support Program.

“Through this program, hundreds of caregivers are

helped every year,” says Kathy Learned, MVES Caregiver Support Coordi-nator. “When a new care-giver signs up for the pro-gram, a support coordinator sets up an appointment with them to go over an individ-ualized action plan. We understand that every care-giver’s situation is distinct from others which is why the plan is uniquely tailored to each caregiver’s needs.”

According to Learned, this plan comes at little or no cost to the caregiver. During the meeting, the co-ordinator will discuss the different kinds of services provided by MVES such as one-on-one assistance, peer support groups, family meetings, and community resources.

MVES’ services range from support groups where a caregiver can form friend-ships with other caregivers to workshops focused on raising awareness to the issues a caregiver faces throughout their day. Many caregivers who have taken part in the program have befriended other caregiv-ers who are in similar sit-uations. The support group engages in thoughtful con-

versations about the diffi-culty of being a caregiver and the situations they can face. It also brings aware-ness to common diseases so that the caregiver doesn’t feel alone in their journey.

“Some services may be needed at the home that the caregiver may not have which is why we have adaptive home equipment to support the family. From bed rails to a shower cur-tain, MVES strives to meet an individual’s needs on an everyday basis,” says Learned.

She continues: “We also understand that a caregiver may feel like their needs are delayed when taking care of others which can lead to a burnout. Therefore, we have services tailored to giving some relief to the caregiver. This assistance, if caregiver is eligible, pro-vides supportive services such as adult day health, companions, and helping find private duty assistance. These services are just a phone call away.”

GREAT PUMPKIN DROP AT FORT BANKS PLAYGROUNDBy Marianne Salza

Little ones rolled pump-kins – and themselves – downward and into bins below during the Great Pumpkin Drop, on Novem-ber 6, at Overlook Hill, in the Fort Banks Playground. The zero-waste event, host-ed by Winthrop Mothers Out Front, advocated for clean, renewable energy. Families created natural, hanging air fresheners us-ing tangerines, cloves, and maple leaves. Natural bird feeders were also made

using rice cakes smeared with peanut butter or hon-ey, and sprinkled with bird seeds. Later, the discarded Halloween pumpkins were collected by Black Earth Compost.

“We compost at home,” said nine-year-old Lili Rob-erts, who flung 10 pump-kins downhill with her sis-ters. “It’s when you take something that’s old, and put it somewhere. Worms eat it, and it makes dirt. It’s good for the earth because grass, trees, and plants can grow.”

The Winthrop High School Drama Society is

presenting The Spongebob Musical, adapted from the Nickelodeon series, No-vember 13, at 2pm and

7pm; and November 14, at 2pm, at The Neil Shapiro Center for Performing Arts. A volcano is nearing erup-tion in Bikini Bottom, and tenacious friends, Sponge-bob, Patrick, and Sandy, must save their undersea home during a time of cha-os.

“Spongebob has a lot of optimism; even when no one else does,” said se-nior, Dan Tracy, who plays Spongebob. “A positive outlook helps people in a tangible way.”

Although The Sponge-bob Musical is a vibrant and fun show, the play also touches upon overcoming discrimination and doubt. This is the first produc-tion in the Winthrop High School theater since March 2020.

“It’s been fun because we haven’t done a show in

so long because of the pan-demic,” explained soph-omore, Sarah Delehanty, who plays Squidward.

“This show is optimistic; and I think everyone needs that right now.”
