Lynnfield postal worker Anthony Rauseo, 79, stands on his last day of work.

By THOMAS GRILLO

LYNN — Anthony Rauseo has delivered his last piece of mail.

After more than a half century, the 79-year-old postal worker, who has spent his career in Lynnfield, handed in his blue uniform.

“I’ve held almost every job at the post office from janitor to part-time supervisor,” said the Lynn native. “The only job I didn’t do was selling stamps at customer service.”

After leaving the U.S. Air Force in 1960 as John F. Kennedy prepared to move into the White House, he landed a job in the Lynnfield Post Office.

His first paycheck was $138 after taxes for two weeks work. He quickly learned his way around.

“I’ve delivered mail to every residence in town with the exception of a few new streets that were built in the last 10 years,” he said. “I’ve had one customer for as long as I’ve been here. He moved a few times, but he was always on my route.”

Cook-off to help fund sergeant’s run

Rauseo was one of more than 620,000 employees who delivered 154 billion pieces of mail last year, according to the most recent data available.

Michael Powers, district manager, said Rauseo was a stellar employee whose customers became his friends.

“If all my workers were like Tony, I would be all set,” he said.

One of the advantages of having such an experienced employee, Powers said, is they can train new hires.

“Tony guided the new carriers and I could count on him,” he said.

While there were opportunities to join management, Rauseo said  the job he loves best was being a carrier.

Over the years, he has received gifts at the holidays from hats and coats to sweet treats. But the best gift of all, he said, was the love from his longtime customers.

Still, he’s seen his share of dogs and snow storms and has experienced sub-freezing temperatures.

Luckily, in five decades, he’s never been bitten.

“I was chased by a German Shepard once and he pinned me to the corner of a house,” he said. “About three minutes later, the owner came out. I’ve had a few incidents like that, but they’ve never broken the skin. If I saw a dog, I didn’t deliver the mail.”

When he first joined the U.S. Postal Service, carriers spent hours sorting letters before dawn. Today, he said, the job is much more efficient and machines do most of the work.

When asked what he would have done if the local post office wasn’t hiring when he applied, Rauseo said, “I would have worked at my father’s auto body shop, but I guess this is what I was meant to do.”

Rauseo is not sure how he will spend his days. He’s thought about maybe getting a part-time job.

“My options are wide open,” he said. “I have to do something, but I haven’t figured out what that is. For now, I’ll just relax.”

LYNN — At Lynn Woods Elementary School, all drinking fountains have been temporarily shut off following an extensive series of voluntary copper and lead tests in city schools.

Superintendent Dr. Catherine Latham said bottled water has been supplied to students at the school and letters were sent home to parents.

Michael Donovan, director of the Inspectional Services Department (ISD), said a plumber has been hired and the fixtures at Lynn Woods will hopefully be back up and running by the end of next week.

Donovan said that all possible drinking sources were tested at every school in the city, including water fountains, kitchen equipment and sinks — over 2,000 samples taken from 695 taps.

Of the fixtures, roughy 2 percent were found to be above acceptable lead or copper limits.

Across the board, 88 fixtures tested high for lead and 19 were beyond acceptable levels for copper. Donovan said compromised fixtures will be replaced or have their supply lines changed.

“Thank you for being proactive,” said School Committee member Patricia Capano told Donovan on Thursday.

Lynn mayor offers tax cuts to seniors

Although the drinking water levels are regularly monitored, the latest testing marked the first time all of the fixtures in the district were checked at once, said Donovan.  

Each fixture was sampled twice by a third party inspection service with the testing paid for by the state, said Donovan.  

On April 26, 2016, Gov. Charlie Baker and State Treasurer Deb Goldberg announced that $2 million from the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust would fund efforts to help public schools test for lead and copper in drinking water.

If copper levels are higher than 1,300 micrograms per liter, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends a school take action to determine the source, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.  

For lead, MassDEP lists the water action level at 15 parts per billion. Lead typically enters the water supply through lead pipes or plumbing that contains lead parts or solder.

Members of the Harrington School Student Council, from left, Leylani Kem, Dania Benavides, Rachel Washington and Pauwill Deng pack a box of supplies.

By DAVID WILSON

LYNN — A thoughtful gesture by third- to fifth-graders at Harrington Elementary School is about to go overseas.

Principal Debra Ruggiero’s cousin, a lieutenant colonel in the Army, volunteers for, and checks in with the Missionaries of Charity orphanage in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Ruggiero, looking for someone to take the lead on a possible project, contacted Harrington ESL teacher Nicole Zarkades.

One of the teacher-leaders for the school’s student council, Zarkades said the 27 members began to write letters and draw pictures for troops and children at the orphanage.

But the children at the orphanage were also in “dire need” of toiletries and art supplies, she said.

So in an undertaking that Zarkades said began around Christmastime, students wrote letters to local businesses asking for assistance.

Osborne Medical Supply, East Boston Savings Bank and Century 21 Hughes responded. The three businesses “were instrumental in ensuring that these supplies were collected through their generous donations,” a press release said.

Included in three boxes — that Zarkades said she could barely lift — are toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, soaps, towels, hairbrushes, hair accessories, and more. Art supplies include coloring books, crayons, markers, and chalk, she said.

The boxes are being shipped out today. Zarkades said Friday she’s unsure how long it will take for the boxes to arrive at the orphanage, but it’s something she hopes can continue.

In fact, if the children write back to the Harrington students, a pen-pal program could be in the works, she said.

Lynn native Marcos Echevarria averaged 23.4 points per game for the Nichols Bison this season. 

By JOSHUA KUMMINS

There is no size for motivation.

For Lynn’s Marcos Echevarria, it came in the form of two missed free throws in the final seconds of the Nichols College men’s basketball team’s Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) semifinal against Endicott last season.

The result? An 82-80 loss.

“It was definitely a blessing in disguise,” the sophomore point guard said.

“Missing those free throws made me work hard over the offseason. It just goes to show that if you really put your mind to something, anything is possible. I had a chip on my shoulder this year, and it made me feel like I had something to prove.”

Prove, he did. Echevarria was named CCC Player of the Year and finished the season as the league’s leading scorer, first among all New Englanders in the Division III ranks and among the top 10 nationally, averaging 23.4 points per game.

Echevarria, who played high school basketball at both St. John’s Prep and St. Mark’s School in Southborough, scored at least 20 points in 21 games this season and 30 or more seven times. He also averaged four rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2.2 steals per contest.

While the team’s success was Echevarria’s ultimate goal, he couldn’t help but take a step back to appreciate the individual season he’s had.

“To be recognized like that, it’s nothing to take lightly,” Echevarria said. “I always tell my little brother (Jalen, a current standout at St. Mary’s) that if you work hard enough you’re going to get recognized. Even if it doesn’t get recognized in the moment, it will during game time. I just like to be really humble about it, and happy with what I’ve accomplished.”

Nichols and Endicott played for the CCC title last Saturday, and it was hard not to notice Echevarria. This year’s results were drastically different, as Echevarria scored eight of his 23 points in the final 40 seconds as Nichols turned a seven-point deficit into its first-ever conference championship with a 67-64 win.

That game did not get off to the best of starts for Echevarria, as he shot just 4-of-20 before connecting on three of his final five field goal attempts. Oh, and he knocked down two free throws with two seconds left in regulation.

“In the final two minutes, he just put us on his back,” Nichols head coach Tom Glynn said. “He was the most composed person in the whole gym, and he just delivered. It was an absolutely epic performance, probably the best individual performance I’ve ever witnessed.”

The CCC victory helped lift the Bison to their first NCAA Tournament in program history, and a stunning first-round upset of host Neumann, 96-93. Echevarria scored 18 points, including all 10 of his free throws.

“It’s definitely an incredible experience being the first team in (Nichols) history to make the NCAA Tournament,” Echevarria said. “To lose the way that we lost last year and to win the way that we won this year, it was amazing. I couldn’t ask for more.”

With the win over the nation’s then-No. 11 team on its home floor in Aston, Pa., the Bison advanced to play a familiar foe: Endicott. This time, Nichols’ season came to an end at 24-6 with a 111-75 loss, but Echevarria scored a team-high 30 points, including 18 from beyond the arc.

The Gulls feature a fellow Lynn native in senior Stephen Basden, who posted seven points and five rebounds in the NCAA second round game after grabbing 10 rebounds in the CCC title game.

The memories flooded back for Echevarria, and the two embraced at the end of the conference tournament.

“It was a definitely a childhood rivalry we have, so it’s amazing we got to play against him in that type of atmosphere,” Echevarria said. “After that game (CCC Championship Game), I told him, ‘Hey, keep your head up. You had a great season.’ Last year, they kind of stole it away from us, so we kind of got revenge. … The NCAA game (was) just one more game to settle the rivalry.”

While their second postseason meeting went in Basden’s favor, Echevarria can keep his head held high this time.

The late Tim Ring is the most recent in a sad string of losses for Lynn residents. It is a loss — like the ones that preceded it — that has hit the city hard.

Ring’s death last Saturday from medical complications came on the heels of three other losses that sent many city residents into mourning. English High School basketball coach Mike Carr and veteran former St. Mary’s educator Michele Durgin died at the end of January and beloved public school principal Vic Tseki died in February.

Taken individually, these deaths leave hundreds of family members and friends feeling a never-to-be-filled void in their lives. Taken collectively, the loss of four sterling educators is almost too difficult to fathom.

Tim Ring was that rare man who embraced the pursuit of knowledge with a childlike zeal. He was also a master craftsman who felt comfortable around an unfinished home or a piece of antique furniture crying out for restoration.

Popular retired Lynn educator dies

Some people shy away from exploring the unknown and from facing a challenge and saying, “I can master that.” Not Tim Ring. With what one good friend described as Ring’s “‘rascal’ attitude,” the veteran educator shouldered new projects and launched new educational ventures with his characteristic mix of humility and offbeat humor.

Ring hated talking about himself. But he loved being around people who caught the learning bug from him. He loved seeing students look around Lynn and realize they are not limited by their surroundings, just the limits of their dreams.

Ring, like Carr, Durgin and Tseki, believed in public education’s essential fairness. They knew that every kid is different. But they also knew that the right teacher, even a teacher who spends 10 minutes listening to a kid, can set a young person on a course toward hope, prosperity and self confidence.

Ring logged a 39-year teaching career. Top public school administrators hailed him as the school system’s most veteran educator when he retired last summer. In true Tim Ring fashion, Ring brushed off that praise with a funny, mischievous glint in his eye. He was a guy who went through life appreciating the moments when the joke was on him.

It will be easy to measure the influence Tim Ring had on Lynn residents. The number of people paying their respects to his family and to his memory will be as long as the lines that snaked through wakes memorializing Carr, Durgin and Tseki.

Everyone who spends a few minutes remembering Tim Ring this week will silently say, “I wish he could have met my son or my daughter.” “I wish we could talk about books one more time.” “I wish we could laugh together one more time.”

What will it mean to Lynn to lose Tim Ring and fellow educators who died since the year began? The city will be all the poorer for not having their counsel, their wisdom and their love to help guide it forward.

LYNN — More than one-third of Americans are overweight or obese, according to the most recent findings of the Centers for Disease Control. And every year those numbers increase.

Dr. Shalva “Sol” Nash, who has owned and operated Brookline-based Weightloss Boston since 2002, has had great success using the holistic Sadkhin weight-loss method. Nash is expanding his practice to Lynn, opening an office at 20 Central Ave. in the building that houses Lynn Community Health Center.

Nash says his patients have achieved substantial weight loss without pills, heavy exercise or prepared foods. He adds the Sadkhin method facilitates naturopathic, drug-free and rapid weight loss using acupressure to curb the hunger and cravings typically associated with a restricted diet.

“I use an acupuncture technique, where small steel beads are placed behind the ear and held in place with surgical tape,” said Nash. He said there are 16 bioreactive pressure points in the body, and the stimulating beads are put in different spots to target specific organs, suppressing hunger and fighting fat deposits. Clients must be 18 or older, and an office visit to change the placement of the beads is required every 10 days.

Plus the patient must follow an initial dietary plan/cleansing program (fruits, vegetables, yogurt, milk) that promotes safe weight loss.

“One client suffered from diabetes and had (blood sugar levels) numbers of 230 when she first met with us,” said Nash. “She followed the program and, gradually, the dosage of her medication was reduced. Finally, her numbers were down to 70 and she took no more insulin.” She also lost a lot of weight.

Harrington spreads goodwill overseas

Nash was a medical doctor in Russia, having graduated from First Moscow State Medical University, before coming to the United States in 1997. Dissuaded by the intensive, years-long process to get accreditation in this country, Nash, who lives in Lynn, first worked as a phlebotomist at Beth Israel Medical Center and then as an EKG technician at Cambridge Hospital before training with Dr. Grigory Sadkhin in New York. He said he is one of the few licensed Sadkhin practitioners in New England, the only one in Massachusetts. He says many of his clients live on the North Shore, and the Lynn office will eliminate their commute to Brookline.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) tours the Lynn Community Health Center.

By THOMAS GRILLO

LYNN — As President Donald Trump signed a new version of his controversial travel ban Monday while Sen. Elizabeth Warren was in town, the CEO of the Lynn Community Health Center said she fears for her staff’s family and patients who have uncertain immigration status.

“I’ve never been so upset about anything in my life,” said Lori Abrams Berry. “There’s a level of tension that everyone in this health center and in Lynn is feeling about this.”

Berry made her remarks during a roundtable conversation with Warren, local officials and clinic executives. The liberal Democratic senator toured the facility to learn how doctors are integrating services among specialties as well as with other health care providers.

Warren used portions of her 90 minutes in Lynn to unleash on Trump’s promise to withhold funds to so-called sanctuary cities, communities including Boston and Somerville, whose police forces refuse to assist federal immigration agents or inquire about immigration status.

“The Trump administration is trying to bully local mayors into changing policing so they’ll double down, so it’s no longer just the federal agents doing this,” she said. “That’s clearly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has ruled that the federal government cannot condition grants in one area on compliance in other areas … I met with mayors last week who are prepared to go to court the minute federal dollars are withheld to sanctuary cities.”

Berry’s comments came after the television news crews exited the room.

“One of our board members’ brother-in-law got picked up and is in detention because he was stopped for a minor traffic violation and didn’t have a license,” she said. “All the agencies in Lynn are very concerned about this. We need a rapid response network so we can start to help families. We are starting to feel like we need to give people information on their rights.”

Hundreds of jobs coming to Medford

Trump’s latest executive order on immigration and refugees still restricts new visas for citizens from six Muslim-majority countries and shuts down the nation’s refugee program.

The revised travel order leaves Iraq off the list of banned countries but still affects visitors from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya.

Last month, in a speech to police chiefs, Trump asked for their help in identifying and deporting illegal immigrants.

“I want you to turn in the bad ones,” Trump said. “We’re going to stop those drugs from poisoning our youth, from poisoning our people. We’re going to be ruthless in that fight. We have no choice, and we’re going to take that fight to the drug cartels and work to liberate our communities from their terrible grip of violence.”

In a question and answer session with reporters following the tour, Warren said she recently met with Seema Verma, Trump’s pick to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid. Trump has said he favors restructuring funding for the Medicaid program, which provides health coverage to the poor and disabled, through block grants.

“I made it clear that I will try to work with her if she is confirmed and do everything possible to keep our community health centers in Massachusetts fully supported, and that means not doing block grants,” she said. “If people need healthcare, we need to find the most effective and economical ways to do it, but make sure we are able to deliver healthcare. We don’t say: ‘You’ve met some arbitrary cap with the state of Massachusetts, and now you’re done.’”

On Trump’s accusation that former President Barack Obama wiretapped his New York home, Warren dismissed the allegation.

“It’s becoming clearer every day that President Trump is failing and he knows it,” she said. “That’s what these wild accusations are about.”

Adara Nazarian gets off a shot in Tuesday’s game at Ned O’Brien Rink in Woburn. 

By SCOT COOPER

WOBURN —  This was not the way any of the St. Mary’s girls hockey team thought the season would end.

Needham, the No. 1 seed in Division 1, steamrolled the Spartans Tuesday night, 6-2 to remain undefeated at 21-0-1.

Spartan goalie Emily Stephenson, who was under pressure most of the game from the Rockets’ top line of Gracie Bruno, Elizabeth Phalen and Elizabeth Hernberg, said that her team was confident heading into the game.

“We had an unexpected run in last year’s tournament, and we went into this game thinking we were going to win, it was a very disappointing end for my team,” the senior goalie said.

St. Mary’s had a couple of chances early against Rocket goalie Melissa Strauss, but she denied Adara Nazarian and Aylah Cioffi. Needham’s speed resulted in a hooking penalty on the Spartans, but Needham was whistled 27 seconds into the man-up, and St. Mary’s had 1:03 to get something going with the extra skater.

Things went south on the power play. Bruno whipped down the near boards and stole the puck along the goal line, skated in front of Stephenson and deposited a backhand in the net to put the Rockets up 1-0.

Needham coach Allisyn Furano-Foster said that her first line makes things happen with its speed and if someone makes a mistake, Strauss is there in the net to make a big save.

“Our first line puts pressure on the other team with its skating, Furano-Foster said. “We do however have a balanced team up and down the lineup. We knew coming into this game that St, Mary’s was an excellent team. They’re well-coached with a tremendous goalie, so we knew we were in for a tough game from the start.”

The Rockets expanded their lead to 2-0 early in the second period when the first bit of bad luck landed on top of the Spartans. Hernberg threw a backhander towards the net that appeared to be headed wide of the cage, but it hit a Spartan skate and ended up behind Stephenson.

Phelan put the Rockets up 3-0 when she took a pass on a 2-on-0 with Bruno and fired the puck in the net (Needham scored on a breakaway, a 2-on-0 and a 2-on-1). On five of the Rockets’ goals Stephenson had no chance at all.

Needham’s Celia Blaszkowsky grabbed the first point by someone other than the Rockets first line to make it 4-0 with 4:26 left in the second period.

St. Mary’s finally got one by Strauss late in the second period when Sarah Ryan snapped one home from the right side, just inside the faceoff circle. Mady Hentosh picked up an assist, and the Spartans had a boost heading into the third period.

Any momentum that the Spartans were hoping to carry over into the final 15 minutes after the Ryan goal evaporated when Hernberg scored her second goal from Bruno six minutes into the third.

Then the Spartans were victimized by another bad bounce, this time a shot from the right point by defenseman Rose Evans hit a St. Mary’s leg and bounced into the net.

St. Mary’s kept playing hard, and were rewarded with a power play, which they converted to make the final score 6-2 on a nice goal in close by senior co-captain Ashley Wojewodzic from Nazarian.    

St. Mary’s coach Frank Pagliuca said his team was the victim of some bad puck luck. But, he said, good teams make their own luck.

“Needham has a great team, one of the better team’s we played all year, very good skating team,” Pagliuca said. “I’m proud of the girls for the season they’ve had and the effort tonight, we just lost to a better team tonight.

“We had some chances early, then they get that shorthanded goal, and that was a back-breaker,” Pagliuca said. “We were down 3-0 in the second and it’s tough to come back against a team like that. We fought hard, but just came up short.”

Wojewodzic, a senior co-captain from Lynn, said that it’s was a frustrating way to end a great career at St. Mary’s.

“It’s tough, we have been so close over the years, coming together as a team,” Wojewodzic said. “I’m really going to miss coming to practice and spending time with my teammates.”

Ryan, a senior co-captain from Nahant said that she couldn’t believe this is the end after so many great times, great years at St. Mary’s.

“It’s tough knowing that this is it, so many good friends on this team, such a good time playing with everybody,” Ryan said. “I don’t think it’s sunk in that this is it, but I’ll never forget being a member of this team.”

Ryan, Nazarian, Stephenson, Wojewodzic and Brittany McPherson, senior from Lynn, played their last game for the Spartans.

“It’s certainly disappointing, I wish we could have had a better ending, especially for our seniors,” Pagliuca said.
