US Hockey Suffers Two Disappointing
Finishes In The Olympics by Thomas
Brant
There were extremely high hopes for US Hockey heading
into the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. With both the US
teams looking fantastic in the pool play, everyone had
thought that at least one and possibly two gold medals were
going to return back to the US. The men's team beat Slovenia
and Slovakia handily, and also had a thrilling shootout win
against the Russians. The women's team had crushed
Finland and Switzerland by a total score of 12-1, but suffered
a loss against the defending champion, Canada. The
women's team rebounded with a win against Sweden to
reach the gold medal game, but then suffered a
heartbreaking loss to Canada again in overtime after losing a
two-goal lead with two minutes left. The Canadians also
dashed any hope of one gold medal for US Hockey, after they
beat the American men's team in a thrilling 1-0 game. The
US could not recover from the loss, and was blown out by
the Finns 5-0 in the bronze medal game. Overall, it was a
disappointing finish for two teams that were favored to be
major contenders to win gold.

The Warwick Place
Warwick Review by Colby Shea
The Warwick Place has been recently re-opened in
Marblehead, Massachusetts. In 1955 the Warwick was built, but in
1999 it was shut down. The Warwick was just a theater, but when
they rebuilt it in the same place, it changed. The Warwick Place
now has a luxurious restaurant and theater that I enjoy going to!
The restaurant is called Palmers, and it is in the same building as
the theater. Palmers is elegant, and the quality of the food is great.
In my opinion, Palmers is the best restaurant in Marblehead, but
it is not so kid friendly.
Inside the Theater
The Warwick has two theaters. One of them is a called the
Main Theater. It is set up like a normal theater, but has less seats.
Although it is set up like a normal theater, the seats are much
nicer and have movable tables connected to the seats. The seats
also have a button you can press, and a waiter from Palmers will
come to where you are sitting. When they come you can order food

and drinks. This is the most unique thing about the Warwick Place.
The other theater is called the Luxury Theater. The luxury theater is
set up like an office because it has tables with huge comfortable
office chairs.

I have gone to a few movies at the Warwick Place, 12 Years a

Stowe Review by Abigail Walker
Looking for an exciting place to spend your weekend? Stowe,
Vermont is a great place to spend your time no matter what the
season is. From the ski mountain to the quintessential New England
views, the town of Stowe has tons to offer. Need a place to stay? With
classic ski village inns and luxurious resorts, Stowe is equipped with
the perfect things for you. You are in this beautiful place, but what is
there to do? Stowe, Vermont has a variety of riveting activities
available. The most well known thing to do while you are in Stowe
would be skiing. Stowe Mountain offers various terrain, and has 116
extraordinary ski trails. Besides skiing, the town of Stowe is filled
with interesting stores and restaurants. When you are in Stowe you
will never be bored! The only down side to this beautiful town would
be that it takes three to four hours, from the North Shore, to reach
your destination. I hope you consider Stowe, Vermont for your next
weekend excursion!
Plowing by Ian Shevory
Plowed snow blocks driveways, and it covers cars and
sidewalks. People shovel for hours to uncover their cars and clear
out their driveways from the snow that plows put there. Shoveling
piles of plowed snow has caused people to severely injure their
backs. Do cars really deserve superiority over walkers and runners?
The snow on the road gets put on the sidewalks, forcing children to
walk in the streets. When I was driving home, there was a girl
walking, and she was in the road because the sidewalk had three
feet of snow on it. With the roads so dangerous because of the cars
losing traction there is more of a need for sidewalks, and the plows
just cover them. A possible solution could be that the city can snowblow the sidewalk after plowing streets. The city could make places
where the plows can dump the snow. This problem affects everyone
in New England; there is no fighting that.

The Boston Globe Field Trip
Overview by Teddy Mayle
THE ROAR
Photos at the Globe
On February 20, the eighth grade visited "The Boston
Globe" facility in Boston, Massachusetts. The students started with
an interactive trivia game created by the tour guide. They were then
taken on a tour throughout the facility. They visited the place where
the paper is inked, processed, and, one of the favorite parts of the
trip, transported by robots. The students then sat in at an
entertaining editorial meeting with the heads of the different
departments of the newspaper. All of the students observed in their
history class that most of the topics that were discussed in the
meeting, were the headlines in the next day's paper. Next, a reporter
for The Globe, Matt Carroll, talked to the students about his job as a
reporter and answered any questions that were aroused. Matt Carroll
is known for his work with statistics and data. He was also involved
with the team of reporters that were the basis for uncovering the
Catholic priest sexual abuse scandal, which won a Pulitzer Prize for
its outstanding work. They were then met by Sarah Rodman, an
entertainment reporter who has met almost every celebrity
imaginable. For some people, she was the highlight of the trip,
answering almost every question with: "Yes, I have met that person
before" and then gave a fun story about them. Overall, the students
had a fun time learning about "The Boston Globe," and what it is like
to have a reporting job.
Crazy Candy Lady Review by Sophia
Maselek
The Crazy Candy Lady is a candy store located at 123
Pleasant Street, Marblehead, MA. It is a beautiful store and was
established in 2013. This little store has so much to offer. First,
anyone can walk in and place a reservation for a birthday party,
which are well planned and very delicious. There is plenty of room
for children to play and eat candy. The owners of the candy shop also
offer activities for the children at the parties. The store also offers
plenty of candy for people who have allergies, which is very
convenient. Also, all of the candy is extremely well-priced, so young
teens can go in and buy a bag of candy for a low price. If you are
looking for a sweet gift for someone, then a gift basket from the
Crazy Candy Lady is an excellent option! It is a combination of any
candy you desire, and then wrapped up and tied with a bow. My
experience at the Crazy Candy Lady was amazing. I purchased a
variety of candies, from rich chocolate to sour gummy worms. All of

the candy was great; it tasted fresh, and nothing was stale. I would
definitely recommend the Crazy Candy Lady to anyone who is
craving something sweet!

Dark Chocolate Truffles By Connor Tidd
For this food review, I decided to make dark chocolate truffles.
This recipe requires very few ingredients but can be difficult to create.
First, chop the bittersweet chocolate into small pieces. Then, bring
the heavy whipping cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Stir until
completely melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate into a small bowl
and refrigerate until it has a high viscosity. Take the chocolate and put
it in a cake decorating bag. Squeeze the chocolate out in small balls on
a tray. When the truffles harden, it is time to put the cocoa on. Lather
the truffles in the melted milk chocolate, and one by one, put into a
small bowl with the cocoa powder in it. Each time you put a truffle in,
shake the bowl to cover the truffle in cocoa. Take the truffles out and
keep refrigerated. Enjoy your dark chocolate truffles!
Ingredients:
-8 oz.Ghirardelli 60% semisweet bar
-4 oz. Ghirardelli Milk chocolate bar
-1/3 cup Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa
-1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
-6 Tbsp. Unsalted butter cut into pieces.
Varsity Basketball Recap By Colby Shea
Tower's basketball season has come to an end, and the girls
and boys varsity basketball teams improved a lot over the season. The
girls varsity basketball team has switched directions on their losing
record. In the first half of the season, they had many losses at away
games, but, in the second half of the season, at the home games, they
started to win. They won the last five games against Landmark,
Manchester, Waring, Pike, and Brookwood. They lost their last game
against Shore, who remained undefeated. The boys varsity basketball
team did great, too! They beat Waring and Landmark by a lot.
Unfortunately, the team lost to Brookwood and Shore twice. Overall,
the varsity basketball teams had a successful season.
