City swears in
four new officers
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – Now containing the largest force in city
history, the Chicopee Police
Department has sworn in one
new Police Officer and three
Special Police Officers.
Chicopee native Joseph
Conroy IV is the first of 12 total
new full-time patrolmen to be
added by the Police Department
this year. Conroy, whom had
served for the Wellfleet Police
Department since 2012, will
begin serving on Feb. 12. The
other 11 hires to be announced
in the near future will attend
police academy, a 24-week process.
“This is where I’ve always
wanted to be,” said Conroy. “I
know the area and I’m comfortable with the area. I love the
people and the environment here
in Chicopee…it will definitely
be different than Wellfleet in
terms of operations. I’m looking
forward to increased call volume
and activity.”

William Jebb under the supervision of Training Department
Supervisor Lt. John Pronovost.
“As we can all appreciate,
public safety and police work
has changed regularly, day-byday. For one approach, I want to
compliment [Police} Chief Jebb
for revitalizing and reconstituting a new special police force…
we’ll really have much more of
an extensive training process
than ever before,” said Mayor
Richard J. Kos. “It really affords

Single-car crash claims 19-year-old
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – Police
are still investigating a
car accident that claimed
the life of a 19-year-old
Springfield woman on the
Davitt Memorial Bridge in
downtown Chicopee over
the weekend.
Police and Fire personnel received a report

Public Information Officer
Michael Wilk explained,
firefighters had to use
hydraulic tools to extricate
the 19-year-old operator
from her vehicle following the collision. While
conscious at the scene,
she was transported to
Baystate Medical Center
in Springfield, where she
succumbed to her injuries. Police have identified
the operator as Natasha
Rodriguez of Springfield.
At the request of the
family, police withheld
her name earlier this week
to allow relatives to alert
all family members of
Rodriguez’s passing.
“Our condolences and
prayers go out to the family,” said Wilk.
The bridge was temporarily closed following the
crash. The Chicopee Police
Accident Reconstruction
Team arrived at the scene
of the accident to investi-
gate the incident. Though
no cause has officially been
determined, Wilk said that
preliminary information
at the scene indicates the
vehicle was traveling eastbound on Chicopee Street
when she failed to make
a 90-degree turn onto the
bridge and slammed into a
guardrail.
“At this time there is
no additional information
being released as investigators are still working to
determine a cause,” Wilk
said.

who will be trained.”
Under the new program, Special Police
Officers will have more
active roles within the
Police Department and in
the community. Special
Police Officers will be utilized at the two police substations (downtown and in
Willimansett). The program will entail training
with full-time officers and
is designed so that Special
Police Officers can work
towards becoming fulltime themselves.
“We want them working with the community,
we want them volunteering in the community
and we want them to get
to know the community.
For example, we had one
Special Police Officer on
hand when we did the
‘Cop on the Top’ event…
we want people that will
be dedicated to the community,” said Chicopee
Police Department Public
Information Officer
Michael Wilk. “Once they
are fully trained, we can
utilize them to double
up with a patrolman, or
tend to a specific issue,
for example if we’re having an issue in one of the
parks. It’s not to alleviate
and cost or anything like
that…we’ll just have more
eyes and bodies out there.”
Wi l k n o t e d t h a t
Special Police Offers are
now asked to complete 70
hours of community service.
“In total we now have
26 special and reserve
police officers in the
department,” said Jebb.
“The vision we have for
the department, as the
Mayor mentioned, is to
have a great farm team.
It’s a pool system. We can
work with the men and
women serving as special officers and evaluate
them.”

Investigation ongoing after officer is
injured at police academy
By Aimee M. Henderson
Staff Writer
G R A N B Y – T h e
investigation into an incident that left a Granby
police officer nearly blind
in one eye is still ongoing,
according to officials.
Executive Office of
Public Safety and Security
public information officer Felix Browne said last
week there is no timeline
for which the investigation will be complete.
It is being investigated
by the Municipal Police
Training Committee and
the Massachusetts State
Police.
On the morning of
Nov. 30, 2015 the Granby
Police Department was
informed by the director
of the Western MA Police
Academy that patrolman Shawn Rooney, of
Chicopee, was injured during defensive tactics training, according to Chief
Alan Wishart.
“Shawn Rooney had
been struck in the eye
with a police baton during
training… The officer was
transported to the hospital
for treatment,” he said in a
statement at the time.
Wi s h a r t s a i d o n
Friday it is too early to
say whether or not Rooney
will return to his position
with the police department. The chief called
Rooney’s injury “significant.”
Currently, the town is
still paying the officer.
Rooney was expected
to graduate from the police
academy in February,
however due to the injury,
that will not happen. This
unexpected change has
had some impact on the
police department.
Wishart said, on top
of Rooney being injured
and unavailable for work,
another part-time officer retired at the end of
January. Before being proChicopee

The approval of the
projects by the MSBA
will allow approximately
80 percent of the total cost
of the project to be reimbursed to the city up to
$3,009,624.
“I’m very pleased
that the MSBA has agreed
to support Chicopee’s
public schools through
these projects,” said state
Rep. Joesph Wagner,
D-Chicopee. “The

moted to a full-time officer, Rooney worked part
time.
To help fill the gap,
Ryan Barthelette, who
had been an auxiliary
officer with Granby since
2013, was sworn in as a
part-time officer in early
January.
“It’s just a Bandaid on it right now,” said
Wishart. “Our plan was to
have him [Rooney] to fill
that position [retirement],
but now, because he’s not
back we have to rearrange
so we don’t run short.”
Wishart called the situation “tough,” but emphasized the most important
part of the entire thing
is seeing Rooney get “as
healthy as possible.”
The Granby Police
Relief Association held
a pancake breakfast in
December to raise money
to support Rooney and his
family during this time.
The association is also
selling T-shirts, ongoing.
Rooney served as a
part-time officer in Granby
for 11 years before he was
promoted to the full-time
spot in February last year.

T
he American Heart Association wants
you to "Go Red" on Friday, Feb. 5
for “National Wear Red Day” to help
shine a light on the number one killer of men
and women - heart disease. And in that spirit,
we encourage companies, community organizations and locals to get creative to make
landmarks, main streets, buildings and homes
“Go Red” to kick off February’s American
Heart Month. In addition to landmarks sporting shades
of vermilion, wine, brick and cardinal, we're
rallying residents to wrap themselves in red.
Thousands of employees will participate in
National Wear Red Day by donating $5 to
the “Go Red For Women” campaign and you
should too! In turn for a monetary donation,
participants will receive a red dress pin or
wristband, and lifesaving heart health education.
Whether it’s a red heart, red ribbon, red
scarf, or red dress in a store window, it’s one
more way to reminds us of how important our
hearts are.
“Heart-healthy should be our main priority in February and all year long to prevent our number one killer,” American Heart
Association Communications Director Mary
Ann Burns has said of the initiative. “This is
such a simple way to make a difference in our
community.”
To sign up for this crimson campaign,
visit wearredday.org or call the Western
Massachusetts and North Central Connecticut
office at 203-303-3300. The AHA’s Go Red
For Women movement focuses on women’s
heart health awareness in February because
far too many women are still unaware of the
facts that heart disease is their number one
killer – killing more women than all forms
of cancer combined; or that the symptoms
of heart attack can be different in women
vs. men, causing women to delay seeking
treatment; or that 90 percent of women have
one or more risk factors for heart disease or
stroke. This lack of awareness means that
more women than men are dying from heart
disease and stroke. Go Red For Women’s
goal is to save women’s lives.
The good news is that more than 80 percent of heart disease cases in women can be
prevented by making simple lifestyle changes
like eating healthier, quitting smoking and
exercising 30 minutes daily. We also encourage women to get their “well-woman visit” at
their doctor’s office to help detect the early
signs of heart disease.
Women can get lifesaving information
at goredforwomen.org and join in the healthy
lifestyle conversation at Facebook.com/

F
rom the Berkshires to Cape Cod, up
and down the Pioneer Valley, and everywhere in between, projects
that produce clean solar power for
communities, save money for taxpayers and create thousands of highpaying jobs are ready to go but are
facing frustrating delays.
What’s holding these projects
up? A state-imposed limit on the
amount of solar energy that can be
developed in Massachusetts.
This limit comes at a crucial
juncture for our Commonwealth’s
economy. Statewide, the clean energy sector has created nearly 100,000
jobs at over 6,000 companies, a growth rate of
64 percent since 2010. These are very good
jobs, with nearly three-quarters paying more
than $50,000 per year.
And Western Massachusetts, in particular,
is well-positioned to benefit from this fastgrowing industry: our region has the state’s
highest density of clean energy employment.
The solar industry’s rapid growth is also
giving local governments new, innovative
ways to save taxpayer money.
Solar power will save East Longmeadow
$125,000 on annual utility bills. Savings generated by Ludlow’s solar field are estimated
at $100,000 to $140,000 per year. Leaders in
Hampden are looking for ways to turn a town
landfill into a solar field.
There are examples like this across
Massachusetts. These savings can be used to
put more teachers in our schools, more police
officers on our streets, and more money back
into taxpayers’ pockets.
Private businesses are also benefiting from
the solar and clean energy renaissance. As just
one of many examples, the Sullivan Paper
Company, which employs more than 150
people in the Springfield area, is working to
install solar panels at their East Longmeadow
factory to save on energy costs. And they’re
not alone: businesses across the
Commonwealth are looking to do
the same.
All this progress is at risk
unless the legislature lifts the cap
on net metering, or the practice
of allowing businesses, cities and
towns to collect solar energy and
sell it back to utility companies.
This limit is forcing job-creating projects like Sullivan Paper’s
– and nearly 500 others across
Massachusetts – into limbo.
That’s why I voted last July on
a successful, bipartisan bill sponsored by my
Western Massachusetts colleague State Sen.
Ben Downing to lift the net metering cap. I
voted again, in November, on a compromise
measure that will go a long way to help more
cities and businesses save money through solar
technology. Negotiators from the House and
Senate are now working on a final version,
and I’m optimistic it will raise the cap and
continue our state’s leadership in clean energy.
For generations, the Pioneer Valley has
been at the cutting edge of industrial change.
Just as Springfield led the way in the 20th
century with the first gas-powered automobile,
in the 21st century we can lead the way as a
center for clean technology and all the savings
that come with it.
State Sen. Eric Lesser, D-Longmeadow,
represents the First Hampden and Hampshire
District, and is a member of the Legislature’s
Joint Committee on Economic Development
and Emerging Technologies.

Students orate on the Constitution
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – Since
1938, high school students have demonstrated
prowess in understanding the United States
Constitution, competing
in the American Legion
Oratorical Contest and
vying for substantial
scholarship rewards along
the way.
Local orators Gregory
Babin (District 3) and
Noah Gould (District 2)
presented an academic
speaking challenge and
an understanding of the
duties, responsibilities,
rights and privileges of
American citizenship in
the first round of the contest, held on Jan. 23 at the
Chicopee Public Library.
Babin, a Ludlow High
School junior, and Gould,
a Granby High School
senior, will advance to
zone competition on Feb.
20 with a chance to move
on to the state level.
“This competition
helps young kids like me
get a better understanding
ball
from page 1
attend a variety of events
preparing them for the
Colleen Coronation Ball,
beginning with an Irish
Tea on Feb. 7. At the event,
members of the Parade
Committee brief contestants on the competition
process and on upcoming
events. In the weeks leading up to the Ball, each
contestant will meet with
four judges for an interview and their application
will be reviewed.
“The Tea Party really
gives you a feel for what
to expect from the contest.
The Colleen from the previous year and her Court
were all able to attend and
we really got a good idea
of what to look forward to,”
said 2015 Chicopee Colleen

of the Constitution and
our responsibilities to it,”
said Babin. “The reason
why I wanted to participate is because I want to
be a politician one day. I
wanted to get some experience public speaking.”
Babin and Gould
spoke in front of a panel
about citizen responsibility to the American
government in 8- to 10minute segments without
notes in front of a panel
of three judges, explained
American Legion District
3 and Zone Oratorical
Committee Chairman
Delfo Barabani of
Chicopee. In addition,
each competitor had to
speak for three to five
minutes on an assigned
topic, drawn at random.
“The competition
is really intense. It’s not
easy to stand up and talk
in front of a panel like
that and the competition gets more difficult
as it goes on towards the
national level. It’s truly
worth the effort for the
students with the scholarships that are awarded,”
said Barabani.
Ten district competitions in Massachusetts are
whittled down to representatives of four regional
zones. Oratorical winners
from each zone compete
at the state level for the
opportunity to compete
nationally. The overall
national contest winner receives an $18,000
scholarship, with second
and third places receiving $16,000 and $14,000
respectively. Each state
winner whom participates
in the first round of the
national contest receives a
$1,500 scholarship. Those
who advance past the first
round receive an additional $1,500 scholarship.
The American Legion’s
National Organization
awards the scholarships,
which can total over
$138,000 in a given year,
for use by winners at any
college or university in
the United States.
Barabani explained
that judges evaluate individual orators on their
ability to speak with balance, not just about the
Constitution, but about
the citizens’ responsibilities that must be upheld.
“I focused on how the
government was made by
the people. It was made
to serve the people, not to
rule people,” said Babin.
“I’m also stressing that as
much as possible should
be handled at the local
level with larger national
issues handled by the federal government. The Bill
of Rights is also crucially
not only to our rights as
citizens but our responsibilities as well.”
Babin explained
that with another year of
high school remaining,
he planned to take this
year’s American Legion
Oratorical Contest as a
training opportunity but
will still attempt to make
it to the national competition, held in Indianapolis,
Indiana.
Babin and Gould will
next compete on Feb. 20,
at the zone Oratorical
Contest, hosted by the
Knights of Columbus
Council 69 on Granby
Road in Chicopee.

On the night of the
Coronation Ball, each
contestant is escorted to
the dais where her biography is read before the
judges and attendees. All
contestants are scored on
accomplishments, personality and poise. The
five young women who
receive the highest scores
are announced and then
each must answer a
question. Based on the
overall scores, the judges
then select the Colleen and
the remaining four girls are
named as her “Court.” The
Colleen and her Court
receive a number of gifts,
including a trip to Ireland
for the Colleen, courtesy of
Doyle Travel of Chicopee.

“When I was named
the winner it was such a
surreal moment. It took
a minute to realize it was
me. I was just so excited,”
said McAndrew. “We got
to be involved in so many
community events and
rewarding experiences that
I’ll never forget.”
To 2 0 1 5 C o l l e e n
Court member Jordan
Chmura, the exhilaration
was similar.
“The most memorable thing about the ball
for me personally was the
moment they called my
number for one of the 5
finalists,” said Chmura.
“As soon as I heard
‘contestant number five,
Jordan Chmura’, everything changed. The feelings that went through my
head knowing that I was
going to be a part of this
wonderful opportunity
were so memorable.”
The 2016 Colleen
and her Court will ride
the float along the streets
of Holyoke with the
Chicopee contingent on
March 20. The Colleen
and Court also ride
the float in Chicopee’s
Memorial Day Parade,

Colleen Contest are eligible to apply for one of

HARTFORD, Conn.
– Without the help and talents of several Hampden
and Hampshire County
actors, the premier professional reading of
“Elementary, My Dear
Fellow” would not happen.
Written by Shera Cohen
of Springfield, the reading
will take place at the Mark
Twain House and Museum,
located at 351 Farmington
Ave. on Thursday, Feb. 11
at 7 p.m. The cast includes
Keith Purcell of Chicopee
- CPA by day, actor by
night.
The story is that of
William Gillette, actor/
writer/inventor, who created the Sherlock Holmes
character for the stage.
Gillette had been a neighbor of Mark Twain, aka
Samuel Clemens. In
fact, Clemens was one of
Gillette’s mentors. During
his career of over 50 years,
Gillette was considered a
consummate actor and the
first “matinee idol”. Yet, he
was a bit of an eccentric
man. His home, Gillette’s
Castle, in East Haddam,
Connecticut is proof of the
man’s uniqueness.
Cohen wrote the play
with the impetus from
receiving two fellowships from the Springfield
Cultural Council. The
incentive for the reading
came in the form of an
offer from the Twain staff.
The next, and difficult, step
was to seek out actors who
were not only excellent but
also volunteers.
Cohen had seen Keith
Purcell in several community theatre productions
over the years, particularly for Encore Players
and Chicopee Centennial
Theatre. It had, however,
been a while since Purcell
had been on stage. This
role was a huge one…actually multiple roles portraying five separate characters aging from 20s to 70s,
the most important being
William Gillette’s father.
She had seen Jarice
Hanson, Gillette’s wife
Helen, and Frank Aronson
act in numerous plays;
drama, comedy, and even
musicals. There was
no doubt that each had
the skills for the roles.
Aronson, in particular, is
the epitome of his character entrepreneur Charles
Frohman. With Hanson’s
volunteering as director,
another burden was lifted.
Julie Waggoner’s excellent “selling point” was
the beauty of her voice for
the role of Narrator. Arthur
Conan Doyle needed the
proper English accent
with a touch of Irish.
Although Tim O’Brien had
not acted in some time,
Cohen remembered seeing his abilities, contacted
O’Brien, and he said “yes.”
Other actors in
the cast include Martin
Shell (William Gillette)
of Springfield, Jarice
Hanson (Helen) of
Whately, Frank Aronson
( C h a r l e s F r o h m a n ) o f
W h a t e l y, L u i s M a n z i
(Osaki) of Springfield,
Julie Waggoner (Narrator)
of Whately, and Kristen
Anne Ferraro (playing four
roles) from Windsor.
The reading, to be
held in the Twain auditorium. The site is wheelchair accessible. There
will be a free will offering. Reservations are recommended. Call 860-2470998 or check the Mark
Twain website at marktwainhouse.org. for more

have people of all ages, all
ethnicities, all backgrounds
that come here, feel welcome
and feel drawn to the cause.”
Roncarati explained that
with no government funding, The AIDS Foundation
of Western Massachusetts,
located at 48 Center St. in
Chicopee, relies on the generosity of many corporate and
private donors, some of whom
even travel from outside the
region.
“ We ’v e b e e n d r i v ing here to the event from
Cheshire, Connecticut for 10
years…the people that work
for the foundation and the
people that contribute to the
event have supreme dedication and compassion. They
are really dedicated to supporting the cause,” said Donna
McCormick, who explained
that she has been attending the event for a decade
with her daughter, Bridgette
McCormick, following the
death of her brother, whom
had a longtime battle with
AIDS. Bridgette also interned
with the AIDS Foundation of
Western Massachusetts shortly
after her uncle’s death.
“Coming to this event
originally was a way to give
back to the community. We
saw all of the support my
brother received – whether
medical assistance, financial
assistance, transportation or
psychological support, people were always incredible in
helping out,” said Donna.
Proceeds of the Viva! Gala
serves as the Foundation’s
largest source of support for
emergency financial assistance, children’s camping,
men’s support group, women’s conference and other programs. Much of the work done
by the Foundation provides
emergency financial assistance
to those in the region burdened
by medical treatment.
“To see everyone come
together in celebration of
the work we do in the community for people that are
living affected by HIV and
AIDS, it’s great. It’s a nice
way to celebrate what we do
– it’s so often that this virus
is stigmatized and it’s nice
to see it in a positive light,”
said Board President of The
AIDS Foundation of Western
Massachusetts Ruthie Giles.
“It’s more unique than other
galas…people can come here
and really be themselves.”
The AIDS Foundation
of Western Massachusetts
has been in operation for 20
years, with the mission of creating a positive community
impact through innovative and
empowering education and
support. The ultimate aim is
to end the spread of HIV and
AIDS.

actually carried out by students.
Yo u n g s c i e n t i s t s a t
Hampden Charter School of
Science in Chicopee showcased
their scientific know-how during this past weekend’s seventh
annual science fair.
“The science fair serves
as the culmination to an entire
semester’s worth of work for
the students, who have had to
pass eliminations in school
to move on to this point,”
Activities Director Brittany Ross
explained.
As part of the project, stu-
dents displayed their knowledge
of the scientific method and how
it could be executed in a “reallife” situation, as well as going
through the experimentation process and present their conclusion
and findings.
During the fair, students in
grades 6 through 11 who were
pre-selected to move on to the
final round will present their
projects.
HCSS science teachers
selected 84 middle and high
school students to showcase 65
different projects at the science
fair. Students were judged on
their ability to answer questions
related to their topic, as well as
how their information is presented. Projects that have made it
to this year’s science fair cover
topics and questions, including: dissolution rate of overthe-counter pain killers with
and without coatings, growth of
Physarum Polycephalum (slime
mold) in response to different
sugars, effects of distance from
the board on student performance, differences in memorability between funny and serious
advertisements, and more.
Tw e l ve - y e a r- o l d L i a m
Canady of Chicopee let his
experimentation take him to
Kenya.
“About 10,000 children die
every year in Kenya from complications caused by the lack of
availability of safe, clean water.
That’s a problem,” he said. “The
real world application of this
experiment is providing clean,
safe water to Kenya. Forty-three
percent of Kenya’s population
lack access to clean water. Due
to this, thousands of children
die from complications from
sicknesses contracted from contaminated water. Solar energy is
abundant, effective and a lowcost solution to the issue.”
Canady’s solution? He utilized the sun in trials during this
past fall to transform water he
collected from the Chicopee
Water Pollution Control Facility
to safe drinking water.
“As pasteurization process
effectively kills all bacteria such
as E. coli, shigella, salmonella, rota-virus, and Hepatitis A
at a temperature of 149 degrees
(Fahrenheit), this process is necessary to save lives,” he said.
Ross said high school students were also recognized at
the fair for their creation of websites. The contest has become
very popular since its inception
and students get into their projects because of the free nature
of them.
“We approve them, but
for the most part, students pick
what they want to work on,”
said Ross. “It makes them more
invested in the project.”
At the end of the Science
Fair, the overall winners for
middle and high school were
presented with trophies and
prizes for first, second, and third
place and the first, and second
and third place winners in each
grade received medals.
A panel of guest judges
made up of professors, researchers and PhD candidates from
MIT, Boston University and
Northeastern University selected
the winners. The names of the
award recipients weren’t readily
available by presstime.
Lesser votes with Senate to pass ‘Pay Equity Bill’
REGION – State Sen. Eric
P. Lesser, D-Longmeadow, voted
Thursday to help secure passage of a Senate bill aimed at
closing the wage gap between
male and female workers in the
Commonwealth.
“For every dollar men earn
in Massachusetts, women earn
82 cents for comparable work,”
Lesser said. “Our economy can’t
continue to grow unless women
are treated fairly in the workplace and in their paychecks. I’m
proud the Senate has passed this
bill to help achieve this goal.”
The bill, S.2107, sponsored
by State Sen. Pat Jehlen, DSomerville and State Sen. Karen
Spilka, D-Ashland, seeks to
bridge the wage gap by ensuring
equal pay for comparable work,
establishing pay transparency
and requiring fairness in hiring
practices.
Last July, Lesser signed
a letter submitted to the Joint
Committee on Labor and
Workforce Development supporting an earlier version of the
bill.
Included in the bill are provisions that prohibit employers
from:
· reducing the pay of any
employee in order to achieve
gender pay equity
· banning workers from
discussing or disclosing information about their own wages or
coworkers’ wages
· screening prospective
employees based on previous
wages or salary history as a condition of being interviewed, during an interview or otherwise
being considered for an offer of
employment
· r e t a l i a t i n g a g a i n s t
employees who file a pay equity complaint, participate in an
investigation or discuss wages
with one or more coworkers
The bill also lengthens the
time an employee has to bring
a pay discrimination suit, from
one to three years, and allows
for the awarding of attorneys’
fees.
A report by the Institute for
Women’s Policy Research projects that the gender wage gap in
Massachusetts will not close on
its own until 2058.
The bill will now go to the
House of Representatives for
consideration.

WILBRAHAM - It has
been a rough year for the
Chicopee wrestling team as
injuries and some plain bad
luck have gotten in the way of
a promising season. The latter
was the case in the their 36-33
loss to Minnechaug.
As meets go, this was a relatively fast one. Due to a large
number of forfeits, only four
of the fourteen were contested.
Though the four bouts were
split, two apiece, the Falcons
outscored the Pacers, 12-9 and
that proved to be the difference.
The first five weight classes, were determined by forfeit,
with the Falcons winning three
of them and having an 18-12
lead. Sean Monteiro, at 106,
gave the Falcons a 6-0 lead. In
the 113 and 120, it was Ivain
Diaz and Rudy Hernandez getting the points for Chicopee to
make it 12-6. The 126 and 132
went to Minnechaug with Riley
Jacobson and Ethan Moretti
winning by forfeit. That made
it 18-12.

a pin with 29.8 seconds remaining in the first period. The only
scoring prior to the pin came
58 seconds into the bout, when
Davis picked up two points for
a takedown. He kept Emerson
on his back for much of the
next 30 seconds, before finally
getting the pin. The match was
tied 18-18.
Ryan Monteiro won the
145 by forfeit to give Falcons
back the lead. At 152 and 160,
there were two actual bouts in a
row and that is where the point
difference came in.
At 152, it was Lucas Gobel
beating Pat McQueen by pinfall.
As with the previous contested
bout, this one never got past the
first period, as Gobel finished
it with 32.3 seconds left. He
dominated the period. Gobel
scored two with a takedown 15
seconds in. McQueen got one
back with an escape some 7
seconds later. Twenty seconds
after that, Gobel made it 4-1
with another takedown and then
with 50.3 remaining, he scored
three more on a near fall. It
was 7-1 when, Gobel got the
pin to end it. Now it was 30-18
in favor of Minnechaug.
The next bout, 160, set a
lot of things in motion. This
would be the only one that was
decided by decision with Ray
Dishmey winning over Mike
Lemoine, 6-4. The first period
was scoreless until the final 10
seconds, when Dishmey gained
two points with a takedown. In
the second Lemoine scored one
with 37 seconds left through an
escape. Ten seconds into the
third, Dishmey escaped and
made it 3-1. With a minute left,
Lemoine tied it up on a takedown. The final 30 were exciting, as Dishmey escaped for a
4-3 lead. Just 10 seconds late,
he made it 6-3 with a takedown.
And then with 7.5 seconds to
go, Lemoine got one back on an
escape. Chicopee scored three
points for the decision and made
the score 30-21.
Then came the strategizing.
There were five weight classes
to go and as set up before the
match, they were all to be forfeits. Chicopee had entrants in
three of them; Minnechaug had
one and neither team had anyone in the final weight class.
With that, Chicopee would have
outscored Minnechaug, 18-6,
thus winning the match, 39-36.
Chicopee won the next two by
forfeit — Julio Morales at 170
and Juan Villanueva at 182 and
they now led 33-30.
Benton Whitley was scheduled to wrestle in 195 and with
no Chicopee opponent, he
would give Falcons a 36-33
lead. Likewise, Joel Rodriquez
was to be the only combatant
at 223 and he would have given
the lead back to the Pacers at
39-36. With a double forfeit
at 285, the Pacers would have
won.
But wrestlers are allowed
to go up or down a weight class,
even at the last second. Whitley
is arguably the best at either
195 or 220, as he has not been
beaten at all this year. He was
moved down from 195 to 220,
thus making the 195 a double
forfeit and leaving Chicopee
with a 33-30 lead going into the
220. Rodriguez is one of the
best in Western Mass, but he
could not handle Whitley, who
won the 220 one minute into the
bout by pinfall. Whitley took
a 2-0 lead with a takedown, 15
seconds in and then kept up the
pressure, finishing things off 45
seconds later.
It was another win for
Minnechaug and a tough loss
for Chicopee in a season of
tough losses.
Slaughter, Bengle named to Fall MASCAC All-Academic Team
WESTFIELD - A total of
674 student-athletes have been
honored by the Massachusetts
S t a t e C o l l eg i a t e A t h l e t i c
Conference with selection to the
league’s Fall 2015 All-Academic
Team.
Student-athletes that compete in championship varsity
sports offered by each of the
MASCAC institutions during the
course of the Fall 2015 athletic
season and have achieved a 3.20
cumulative or semester-based
grade point average during the
semester are eligible for selection to the Fall All-Academic
Team.
Westfield State University
placed the most student-athletes
on the Fall 2015 MASCAC
All-Academic Team with 131
total, while Worcester State
University (106), Bridgewater
State University (90), Fitchburg
State University (68) and
Massachusetts Maritime
Academy (64) followed.
“I want to congratulate all
the MASCAC student-athletes
on another solid showing on the
Fall MASCAC All-Academic
Team,” Commissioner Angela
Baumann said of this year’s
honorees. “The success of our
student-athletes shows the
importance of not only athletics
but academics which is the cornerstone of the MASCAC and
Division III philosophy.”
Two Chicopee residents
were included on the list:
UMass-Dartmouth football
junior Mike Slaughter and
Westfield State men’s soccer
senior Kevin Bengle.
The Massachusetts State
Collegiate Athletic Conference,
the nation’s oldest Division III
men’s and women’s playing conference, has a rich and storied
tradition of competitive success
while celebrating excellence
in the classroom. MASCAC
member schools include
Bridgewater State University,
Fitchburg State University,
Framingham State University,
MCLA, Massachusetts
Maritime Academy, Salem
State University, Westfield
State University and Worcester
State University. Two other
institutions, the University of
Massachusetts Dartmouth and
Plymouth State University, are
affiliate members of the conference in the sports of football and
men’s ice hockey, while Western
Connecticut State University
joined the conference as a football affiliate member in 2013.

Wolves punch postseason ticket
finishing with 27 on the
night. Brother Justin had
21, while Sam Monette had
14 and Carlos Santiago,
12. Against Smith Voke,
the Wolves started slowly
and led by just seven at the
break. A big third quarter
put this one away. Monette
led the team with 23, followed by Justin with 22
and Jason at 19. Hampden
Charter is 10-2 and has
eight games left.
Chicopee High
played just once, beating
Northampton 80-67. That
was the clincher putting
them at 10-2. They are 30 in the Valley Wheel and
with seven of their remaining eight games in league,
they are gunning for a title.
This game was a battle for
three quarters. The Pacers
led 22-16, were tied, 3535 at the half and took a
one point lead after three.
They broke it open in the
final frame. Jake Midura
led the scoring with 29
points. Also in double figures was Milan Harrison
with 19 and Dario
Zamboni with 15.
It was a good week
for both the Chicopee
High and Chicopee Comp
girls as they each won
their eighth games and
inched closer to securing
berths.
The Lady Colts beat
Amherst, 66-41 and Sabis
69-25. They are 8-4 and
3-0 in the Suburban.
Against Amherst, they
started fast, taking a 12
point lead after one, then
saw the Hurricanes close
seven at the break. Comp
pulled away in the third.
Selenya Gonzalez had 13
to lead the team, while,
Ashley Rouleau, Breanna
Tack and Molly Willette
each scored 10. Their win
over Sabis was much more
pronounced as they took
control before halftime
and pulled away in the
third. Kathy Juracz led
with 12, while Gonzalez
scored 11.
Arriana
Hasiuk scored 10 and got
a double-double with 18
rebounds.
T h e L a d y Pa c e r s
improved to 8-6 with a 5341 win over Belchertown.
They are 1-1 in the
Suburban, that loss coming
against Comp last week.
They led by one after one
and got it to seven by the
break. The Orioles came
back and took the lead
after three at 33-32. The
Pacers then got it back
together and won going
away. Madison Gutierrez
had 24 points and Kayla
Calaf added 11.
WRESTLING
Hampden Charter
beat Southwick 55-16,
while Chicopee Comp
dropped a 68-12 decision
to Putnam.
SWIMMING
Chicopee High took
on Holyoke and Turners
Falls this week and both
the girls and boys came
out of the meets as winners. Against Holyoke, it
was the boys winning 9251. Andrew Lingenberg,
50 free, 100 butterfly;
and Jacob Kapinos, 200
free, 100 backstroke were
double winners. They
beat Turners Falls, 79-59,
with just four firsts in 12
events. The 20 point margin came from the their
depth. The Pacers are 55 overall and 3-2 in the
Constitution Division
The girls went 11962 over Holyoke with
Natalia Kaczor winning
the 50 and 100 frees. She
was the only double in
that meet, as well as in
the next, 108-64 win over
Holyoke. There she won
the 200 and 500 frees.
The Lady Pacers are 9-1
and 5-0.

“We always appreciate the help around the
holidays, but I think it’s
important to remember
that people need help all
year long,” said Andrea
Marion, executive director at Lorraine’s Soup
Kitchen & Pantry. As she
explains, the nonprofit,
located on 170 Pendexter
Ave., serves 12 percent
of the Chicopee residents
and approximately 6,500
people every year. At this
point, currently 23 percent
of the city’s residents lives
below the poverty line.
“People are still surprised by some of those
numbers, but realistically,
I think in Chicopee, poverty is not talked about
enough,” Marion said.
“We have volunteers
here [at the soup kitchen and pantry] that are
also clients living with
their family in a tent.
Homelessness, unfortunately, is more common
than people realize.”

INFORMAL PROBATE
PUBLICATION NOTICE
To all persons interested
in the above captioned est­
ate, by Petition of Petit­i­oner
Stephen P. Kelley of Au­burn
MA, a Will has been admitted to informal probate.
Stephen P. Kelley of
Auburn MA has been informally appointed as the Per­
sonal Representative of the
estate to serve without surety
on the bond.
The estate is being
ad­ministered under informal
procedure by the Personal
Representative under the
Massachusetts Uniform Pro­
bate Code without supervision by the Court. Inven­
tory and accounts are not
re­quired to be filed with the
Court, but interested parties
are entitled to notice regarding the administration from
the Personal Repre­sentative
and can petition the Court
in any matter relating to the
estate, including distribution of assets and expenses
of administration. Inter­ested
parties are entitled to petition
Wi t h f i n a n c i a l l y
belts especially tight, on
a regular basis, families
and individuals are facing
tough choices.
“Even if people aren’t
homeless, some are just a
stepping stone away from
the street living in cars
or ‘couch surfing,’ moving from couch to couch
at their friend’s homes for
a warm place to sleep,”
she said. “People have to
make tough choices like
keeping the lights on or
having a car or home or
food on the table. Many
out there are one missing paycheck away from
catastrophe. It could happen to any of us.”
Keeping that in mind,
Marion noted how important it is as members of
the community who are in
a position to give, to do
so.
“Sending donations
– whether it’s food, money
or time – will help provide
stability for our friends
and neighbors who are at
risk,” she said. “We rely
on community support.”
City’s need increases,
so does Lorraine’s
Looking back on last
year’s collected numbers,
Marion said on average,
Lorraine’s was serving
150 new families each
month. In October 2015
alone, she said Lorraine’s
served up 35,000 pounds
of food. One reason she
estimated such growth
was the fact that SNAP
(Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program) benefits were cut last January.
“That cut seems to
have affected a lot of people,” she said.
As of January 2014,
those who are eligible
– those with valid identification and a piece of
mail at a current Chicopee
address – can receive groceries from the pantry
every 30 business days
or every six weeks. In the
event of an emergency,
those in need can receive
pantry items within five
business days of their
visit, though the following
pantry date will remain
the same. The open pantry
is open Monday through
Friday from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. and it is first-come,
first-serve.
The time period that
Marion said Lorraine’s
finds themselves – “without a doubt” – busy each
month is the end and over
the summer.
“The last 10 days of
every month is our busiest
as people’s funds run out,”
she said.
As for the summer,
August in particular being
historically the busiest
month of the year, the
need just doesn’t stop. In
August 2015, the soup
kitchen served up 1,600
meals. The hot meal service is open Monday
through Friday at 5 p.m.
and has served more than
120 meals a night.
But to accommodate all of that need, the
manpower needs to be
there. While the nonprofit
maintains three full-time
staff members and two
part-timers, the rest of the
hours are fueled solely by
volunteers.
“In an ideal situation,
I’d love to have 15 people
every day, but we’re lucky
if we see half of that,”
Marion said.
The timeframe that
the Court to institute formal
proceedings and to obtain
orders terminating or restricting the powers of Personal
Representatives appointed
under informal procedure. A
copy of the Petition and Will,
if any, can be obtained from
the Pet­itioner.
