Disease
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – Laura WattClosser started her nonprofit,
Hand in Hand for Lyme, Inc.,
after a slew of misdiagnoses
that left her bed ridden and in a
wheelchair. Still battling neurological Lyme Disease today, she
commits her time to providing
support, education and advocacy
to others.
M o s t r e c e n t l y Wa t t Closser, a member of the
Greater Chicopee Chamber of
Commerce, has focused on both
fundraising and providing another resource to Western Mass.
residents living with Lyme.
On May 7 from 10 a.m. to
10 p.m., Hand in Hand for Lyme
will host a Health and Wellness
Day at Abundant Wellness
Center in Chicopee.
Abundant Wellness Center
is comprised of therapists, practitioners and therapists delivering services, workshops and
classes.
“Health and wellness are
important to everybody, but
especially people with chronic illnesses, including Lyme,”
said Watt-Closser, who visits
Abundant Wellness Center for

Local departments

Staff Writer
A
dvertised as the
“only structure
of its kind” in
the Northeast, the threelegged steel tower standing 20 stories high is
certainly befitting of it’s
“Scream”-inducing name,
as thrill-seekers are sent
plunging to the ground
in 10 seconds. And as if
that isn’t chilling in and
of itself, what happens
if midway through your
descent back to earth, you
get stuck? Insert screams
here.
Thankfully, locals can
rest – and ride – assured
knowing that there’s a
team that’s trained for
such an event to take
place. In fact, the Western
Massachusetts Technical
Rescue Team (WMTRT)
– a team made up of 74
career, volunteer, and call
firefighters – recently
came together in Agawam
at Six Flags New England
to train for such an occurrence. Formally established in 2014, the team
covers different communities throughout
Western Massachusetts
though the majority of the
team’s members reside
in Hampden County,
including a number from
Chicopee.
“Because many
departments are down to
bare bones (financially),
the WMTRT acts as an
asset and offers support
to coordinate life-saving efforts when a technical incident occurs in
a local community,” said
Chicopee Fire Capt. and
Director of the WMTRT
Peter Jerusik. Though
every participatory department is different, a good
portion of area members
serve as volunteers.
“The team acts as a
resource to help alleviate the burden often dealt
upon local communities
when an incident of ‘highrisk, local-frequency’
occurs,” he said.
Since its inception, the team continues
to train monthly. Last
year alone, Jerusik said
the team was deployed
about 10 times, including
the Longmeadow trench
accident, which claimed
the life of Ludlow man
Davide Nascimento. The
WMTRT has responded
to more calls than all of
the other state teams combined.

Spirit Week is a time for fun,

Students clash in a wide

for their class, tallied throughout
the week. Some of these events
result in hefty donations to nonprofit organizations.
Throughout Spirit Week,
held from April 11 to April

‘End Common Core’ momentum builds
with meeting in Chicopee
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – An
informational meeting on
Common Core educational standards and PARCC
testing held recently at
Chicopee Public Library
welcomed attendees from
throughout Hampden
County. The meeting was
part of a grassroots effort
to garner a ballot question
revoking Common Core
in Massachusetts in the
upcoming election this
fall.
“We ended up with an
amazing cross-section of
people and it was a great
meeting,” said Hampden
County End Common
Core coordinator Dan
Allie. “At this point, it’s
about networking and
recruiting, gaining more
grassroots volunteers to
go door-to-door and help
others while figuring out
their availability.”
Allie, a Westfield
City Councilor, went
door-to-door in Aldenville
with other volunteers in
recent weeks, informing
Chicopee residents about
the movement to restore
pre-Common Core educational standards. In the
week of the Chicopee
meeting held to attract
voters from throughout
Hampden County, he
took his campaigning to
Springfield.
At the April 20
meeting, Allie updated
attendees on upcoming
processes that will move
the grassroots campaign
forward. Last year, grassroots volunteers collected
86,000 signatures to send
legislation to the state legislature.
Assuming that
Massachusetts legislature does not taker action
by its deadline, May
3, End Common Core
Massachusetts will file a
formal application for a
ballot question on May
4. On May 11, the group
would begin collecting an
additional 11,000 signatures needed statewide for
a question on whether or
not to revoke Common
Core standards to reach
the ballot.
“While that’s necessary, it’s not really the
focus for us. The focus
right now is to have people connecting with others in their towns, identifying voters and getting
information out,” said
Allie, who has been providing volunteers with
copies of the informational pamphlet he has
published in Westfield,
“The Black Squirrel,” to
give to Hampden County
voters.
Allie is in the process
of planning future meetings like the one held in
Chicopee, with Ludlow
and West Springfield as
potential target areas.
Former Ludlow School
Committee member
Natalina Tulik attended
the Chicopee meeting.
Tulik has been hosting forums for families on
opting out of standardized
testing, which sparked
her interest in the antiCommon Core movement.
She began hosting forums
on standardized testing,
feeling that teachers were
forced to teach to the test,
stripped of their creative
freedoms.
As a school committee member, she saw
the pressures imposed by
Common Core on school
districts first-hand.
“In order to receive
certain funds as a school
district at the time, we
had to vote to adapt the
Common Core standards,
which were not yet written,” said Tulik. “It was
during a time when districts were really feeling
the recession and budget
cuts…it was almost like
they pushed our backs
against the wall, giving
us funds in order to adopt
Common Core.”
Tulik explained that
she would like to hear
from more teachers,
gathering how they feel
Common Core standards
have affected their curricula in comparison to
the former Massachusetts
standards.
More than anything,
Tulik encourages parents
to learn more about the
End Common Core movement, just as she encourages them to learn more
about the ability to opt-out
of standardized testing.
“When I planned
the opt-out forums, I was
amazed by how many parents didn’t know that there
was the possibility to opt a
child out of standardized
testing,” said Tulik.
The Hampden County
camp of End Common
Core Massachusetts will
announce more meeting dates in the coming
weeks.

local businesses and merchants are just as much

Without them, there are no towns.
We will feature coverage of local businesses
that are new, have a major expansion, moving,

J. Ashe Jr. announced over
the weekend the formation
of an inmate public service program, which will
address the Burnett Road
area trash on Friday on a
weekly basis. The crews
consisting of minimum
security inmates will travel
down Burnett Road from
the Ludlow Line to exit 6 of
the Mass Pike cleaning up
trash such as cans, bottles,
and bags in an effort to further expand the longstanding tradition of community
services provided by the
Sheriff’s Department.
“I have partnered with
Sheriff Ashe in the past and
I am glad to be working
with him once again” said
Kos, referencing the past
construction of the Western
Massachusetts Regional
lyme
do that. If we need comic
relief and decide to watch
a comedy, that’s fine too.
Whatever we decide as
a group will be what we
do,” said Watt-Closser.
The support group
will meet for the first
time on May 14 at United
Methodist Church, located at 215 Somers Road
in East Longmeadow
from 10 a.m. to noon.
Subsequently, the group
will meet on the first
Saturday of every month.
She explained that her
need to provide a support
group aligns with her reasons for launching Hand
in Hand for Lyme. Before
her Lyme diagnosis, WattClosser was tested for
cancer, Multiple Sclerosis,
Parkinson’s disease and
somatoform disorder,
improperly diagnosed and
treated along the way.
Watt-Closser feels
that others suffering from
Lyme often face the same
challenges. Once diagnosed, health insurance
coverage poses issues.
Much of her advocacy
work involved talking to
politicians about a federal bill to have mandatory
Lyme Disease inclusion
by all health insurance
providers.
from page 1
Day, attendees will choose
two options from an array
of wellness choices including readings, reflexology,
chair massage and reiki.
“Reiki is really great.
It’s a hands-off technique
in which the practitioner
provides healing energy,”
said Watt-Closser.
Tickets for the event
cost $60, with $20 of each
admission benefiting Hand
in Hand for Lyme. Tickets
are available at handinhandforlyme.com.
Recognizing a need
in the region, Watt-Closser
has launched a support
group for those suffering
from Lyme disease, their
caretakers their families and
friends. She also intends
to leave the group open to
individuals dealing with
other chronic illnesses.
“We want it to be
based on what peoples’
needs are…If we need
to talk about things other
than Lyme to take our
minds off of it, we’ll do
that. If we need to do arts
and crafts, we’ll do that.
If we decide we need to
talk about Lyme, we’ll

to thank him and his department for assisting us in
keeping the Burnett Road
area and the exit 6 interchange cleaner. As major
thru-ways to the Ludlow
facility, it is a logical partnership that benefits all
involved.”
The program began
last week with over 12-bags
of trash collected.
“For our community
service restitution program
to be most successful,
you need visionary leaders who care passionately
about their communities
like Mayor Kos,” said Ashe.
“The community services
restitution program involves
75,000 hours of labor a year
in Hampden County communities. Most importantly
it involves offenders building some sweat equity in
a positive, productive, law

Faces of Recovery:
Emily’s story
By JAC Patrissi
Guest Columnist
“I
am a survivor of the mental health
industry. Back in the day in the
1950’s, I cut school as a teenager, ran
away to my girlfriends to sleep over sometimes and smoked pot. Not the turbo weed
they grow nowadays, just the mellow kind.
My Dad had left us alone and my mom
drank a lot. We argued about it. So my mom
signed me into an institution for being “difficult to manage.” They told me I was there for
tests and would be home by Monday, in time
for school. But my mom must have found
it much easier not to have me, because she
signed away her parental rights and I spent
three years there.
The psychiatrist never put me on
meds and never gave me shock treatments.
Instead, I was drugged by fear and grief. I
was shocked by the threats the doctor made,
describing what happens to young girls who
don’t comply and who are sent to juvenile jail
where the guards do sexual things to them. I
was shocked by the search of my naked body
that no lover had yet seen undressed. The
wails I heard all day and night became the
soundtrack of my teens, my top 40. I had just
been cutting Geometry the week before, and
now there was no shape to my life ahead of
me, no formula to set things square.
I can still hear the keys worn in bundles
by everyone in charge of my life. The sane
people wore white and we the crazies wore
submission dresses and humiliation booties.
I love my BHN therapist. There is no sound
of authority keys in her voice when she talks
to me. She isn’t a white shirted world away
from me. She is good people, and I love her
shoes.
At this stage of my life, you cannot tell
me what to do. I’m not good with authoritarian people. I am the expert on my healing and
my therapist is my consultant. She has information for me to consider, but I am the one
who decides what to do with it. I recognize
people who are all about making you wrong
so they can feel right. My BHN people aren’t
like that.
I have a life I love now. I love my boyfriend and my job. I am in the dental field. I
am really careful with people who need our
help at the office. You wouldn’t know when
I gently clean your teeth that my psychiatrist
had ordered me locked to my bed in a straight
jacket for three days for being defiant, or that
I tried to claw at him when he came to gloat
above me as I lay there bound below him.
Yes, I was the girl who didn’t want to be controlled, but I wasn’t sick, like they said I was.
I was also the girl who fed my roommate
Martha applesauce for a year, until she finally
spoke, first to me, then to the staff.
I sort everyone into two types: are you
mostly the kind of person I could eat apple
sauce with while we figure out how we might
get out of the hard times and into life, or does
your voice clang with the keys of superiority?
I know which kind of person my BHN
therapist is. Which kind are you?”

Hoping that kubb will find a home in this region
To the Editor:
Kubb is a Sweedish lawn game that is
becoming one of the fastest growing sport
in popularity in the United States. The U.S.
Kubb Championships are held in Eau Claire
Wisconsin and although there are many Kubb
clubs in the upper Midwest region it is just
starting to make its presence in the New
England area. The game is played by tossing
pieces of wooden dowels, underarm, at your
opponent’s wooden blocks (kubbs) and the
first team to topple all of their opponent’s
kubbs, then throw to knock over the king,
wins. There is much more strategy and rules,
which is what makes the game so challenging
and fun. Search online: “kubb YouTube.”
There is a Belgium website that exemplifies how the fame brings the best out of
people and strengthens the moral fabric of
their community: “Vlaanderen is in de ban
van kubben – VTM nieuws.”
The World Kubb Championships are held
annually on the Island of Gotland Sweden.
I’m hoping that this game will eventually find
a home in our region and give folks another
reason to come out and play the game that
unites neighbors and builds last friendships.

Health and Fitness Expo caters to niche, helps local children’s hospital
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – Despite
rain showers that scattered throughout the day,
A b s o l u t e N u t r i t i o n ’s
Second Annual Health
and Fitness Expo was a
resounding success, acting as a one-of-a-kind
event for the region and
a fundraiser for Shriners
Hospital for Children.
With 37 total vendors,
10 of which were new,
over 1,000 visitors attended the expo. Attendees had
the opportunity to shop for
supplements, gain expert
advice from chiropractors
and physical therapists, as
well as meet bodybuilding
superstars Jay Cutler, Jose
Raymond, David Henry,
Jason Arntz and Cory
Mathews.
Absolute Nutrition
owner Jim Magagnoli
explained that the idea
for the expo came about
when Europa Games in
Hartford, a popular annual
event, was cancelled. He
recognized a need for a
similar event catering to
Turley Publications staff photo by Tyler W. Leahy
(Left to right) Melha Shriners Michael Gebo, Pete Magagnoli, Gerard Kiely and Charlie Gervickas
weightlifters in Western
Mass., and decided to
launch his own.
“ We i g h t l i f t i n g i s
really a community. We’re
kind of a big family of
people helping each other
and there’s a big social
component to it. This
event caters to that and
brings everyone together. It’s the only event of
its kind here in Western
Mass.,” said Magagnoli.
Magagnoli has owned
and operated Absolute
Nutrition for 18 years.
A Shriner himself
for the past five years,
Magagnoli decided
Shriners Hospital for
Children was a suitable
beneficiary for this year’s
raffle. His father is also a
Melha Shriner. Area businesses and vendors donated $4,000 in goods to be
raffled.
“One hundred percent
of the fundraising will go
to the Shriners. We usually do something different each year, whether it’s
a group in the Shriners,
the Shriners in general, or
the Shriners Hospital [for
Children.] This year, it will
go towards the low-radiation x-ray machine that
will be put in the Shriners
Hospital in Springfield…
for many kids, they are
receiving x-rays from birth
until 21 years old. In some
instances, there have been
cases of cancer from the
radiation exposure,” daid
Magagnoli.
Representatives from
the Shriners were on hand
to conduct the raffle.
“With this machine,
a child is subjected to one
ninth of normal radiation,
yet the images are more
precise than a normal xray. Another advantage
is that it takes x-rays in
a weight-bearing mode.
A child can be standing
or sitting,” said President
of Melha Directors Pete
Magagnoli, Jim’s father.
The low-radiation
x-ray machine has a current budgetary price of
$944,000. It will be the
only machine of its kind
in Western Mass. and will
be used by patients of 22
area hospitals.
“We’ve heard dozens of stories throughout
the day from past patients
a n d fa m i l y m e m b e r s
of patients at Shriners
Hospital. It really motivates us and puts the cause
into perspective… During
the week, the hospital sees
hundreds of patients a day.
This machine will help
so many children,” said
Shriner Gerard Kiely.

ment, and sought out medical care at the Veterans
Affairs Hospital, but what
he soon learned was that
a simple appointment
became an all-day affair.
“It’s unacceptable,”
he said. “The VA in Leeds
sends out a van three times
a week to bring veterans to
their appointments, but the
problem is, no matter how
long your appointment is,
you have to sit and wait
for others…it’s time consuming.”
And for those who
have to make it to locations even further away –
six hours or more – arrival
can be even more of a
challenge.
Pereira, who is an
active member of the
Army National Guard, the
director of Longmeadow
Veterans Services, and
Holyoke’s 2015 “Veteran
of the Year”, decided it was
time to find a way to provide year-round transportation options for veterans.
“Veteran facilities are
wide spread and at times,
too far for a veteran to
commute. Depending on
what treatment you are
receiving it is conceivable
to have to drive for hours
in order to get to your
health facility. Some veterans can’t withstand the
pain of sitting that long in
traffic just to have to do it
all the way back home,” he
said. “We will provide a
service that will transport
the veteran from an airport
near their home to a airport
near their medical facility. With Vet Air, we can
transport a person from
northern Massachusetts to
Southern Connecticut in
about 40 minutes. Our service is designed to provide
a less stressful transportation option for all generations of veterans simply
because they deserve it!”
With that goal in mind
and to keep the rates ideal
– free of charge to veterans – Pereira is hosting an
event geared at mothers
that he hopes will become
an annual activity.
“In the beginning,
I would just fund the
trips myself, but I need
to be able to find a regular source to fund these
endeavors,” he said.
This Saturday, May
7, locals will be treated to
food, fun, and festivities
courtesy of 30 vendors
from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at
the Moose Family Center
on 244 Fuller Road in
Chicopee.
“When you’re in the
air, you get time to chat…
you get to know people
rather well and on another
level…you become like
family rather quickly,” he

Lorraine’s Soup Kitchen launches annual appeal
CHICOPEE – Did you
know that your neighbor
might be in danger of going
hungry? In 2015, Lorraine’s
Soup Kitchen & Pantry
distributed over 30,000
bags of groceries to almost
6,500 Chicopee residents.
As Lorraine’s prepares for
2016, they face new challenges given the current economic climate that includes
a downward trend in local,
state, and federal funding.
“We’ve seen a 75 percent decrease in our funding
from two years ago. This is
challenging given we are
seeing an average of 100
new families to the pantry
each month,” said Lorraine’s
Executive Director Andrea
Marion. “We are fortunate
enough that our donors are
focused on ‘feeding friends
and saving neighbors’, and
for that I am extremely
grateful,” she added.
This year, Lorraine’s
celebrates 25 years of
helping the community.
Lorraine’s 25th Anniversary
Gala, which was held in
July of 2015, was a night to
remember and a great way
kick off the fundraising season raising $4,000 of their
$25,000 goal.
Due to a decrease in
local funding of $40,000
and an unexpected expense
of making the building on
170 Pendexter Ave. more
secure after a burglary in
March, Marion is asking
donors to consider increasing the amount they’ve contributed before to help in
funding to Lorraine’s and
help expand programs to
empower families to make
positive changes in their
lives.
To e n d t h e 2 5 t h
anniversary campaign,
Lorraine’s will launch the

“The bookmobile has
made a significant impact on
our community,” said Kos.
“We now can offer library
services to every neighborhood in Chicopee, something we weren’t able to do
before with only physical

because it’s for Lorraine’s
Soup Kitchen,” said Class
of 2016 President Briana
O’Connell.
In addition, between
a penny wars competition
and student admission fees
to a teacher dodgeball tournament, the school raised
$2,765 to be donated to
nonprofit organizations.
With a desire to donate
funds to both Lorraine’s
and St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital, the
Class of 2016 officers,
O’Connell (President), Vice
President Sara Hazeltine,
Treasurer Stephanie Lopes
and Secretary Alex Labrie,
decided to split the money
evenly between the two
organizations.
Taking a little extra
from available funds, CCHS
will donate $1,400 to each
Lorraine’s and St. Jude.
“Spirit Week seems to
me, after being involved
with it for so many years,
to be the culminating event
for our year of giving. I
think that as a school community, Chicopee Comp.
has always worked well
to support students and
the outside community…it’s really what makes
Chicopee Comp. a great
school,” said Vice Principal
Charles Jendrysik.
Along with history
teacher Kevin Zdrykowski,
Jendrysik advises the class
of 2016 and its officers.
Jendrysik explained
that the Spirit Week food
drive for Lorraine’s was
the second collection
for Lorraine’s this academic year. In advance of
Thanksgiving, CCHS collected turkeys and other
food items in hopes of
helping families in need.
“We have a longstanding relationship with
Lorraine’s and this is just a
continuation of that,” said
Jendrysik. “We always
look forward to continuing our interaction with
them. We’ve tried to support them throughout the
years.”
The class of 2016 officers planned Spirit Week

Space in the new program for three-year-olds is

to inquire as soon as possible.
“Being able to

the opportunity to keep

CHICOPEE – St.
Stanislaus School is
expanding their early education platform, welcoming 3-year-olds to Little
Lamb Preschool for the
2016-2017 academic year.
“This will fill a need
in the community. There
are a lot of working parents that need qual ity childcare for their children,” said Little Lamb
Preschool Director Joanne
Powers. “It’s a really
structured program that
helps them best prepare
for a school environment
when it is time to go to
kindergarten.”
Similar to the program
for 4-year-olds, the 3-yearold program will cater to
all basic skills, including
language development,
social skills, motor skills
and movement.
“The skills we focus
on really build a foundation for learning that will
prepare them for future
success. Introducing children to these skills at three
for three full days a week
(108 academic days) and
$1,750 for two full days a
week (180 academic half
days). Registration costs
$75 per family. There is
an additional $25 art supply fee per child.
Full-time educators
certified in early childhood education with current Massachusetts educator licenses staff the preschool.
To be eligible for the
three-year-old program,
children must turn 3 years
of age by Oct. 1. The preschool requires that students be capable of adapting to their semi-structured program emotionally
and physically. Children
enrolled in the program
must be able to take care
of all of their own bathroom needs.
The preschool follows the same academic
calendar as the rest of St.
Stanislaus School and has
the same daily duration,
from 8:15 a.m. to 2:20
p.m.
Before and after
school programs are also
available, running from
7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and from
2:30 to 5 p.m.
“A lot of our pre-
Chicopee
residents
receive
honors
which essentially in some
way give back to the community,” said Labrie.
“Student Council sort
of has a bigger platform
for giving because of the
popularity of Spirit Week,
but every club does their
part in giving back to the
community. It’s one of
the things that makes the
school great…and Spirit
Week really gives students
to actively spend money on
what will ultimately go to
a great cause. It’s a unique
way to get excited about
helping the community.”

Sports Correspondent
CHICOPEE - The Comp
boys totally dominated their
cross town rivals by a score of
125-20. This meet was never
in doubt as the Colts swept 11
individual events and won both
relays. In fact, the Pacers managed just one second place finish and four thirds. The girls’
meet came down to the final
event, the 4x400 relay. The
Pacers took first in the relay and
as a result won the meet by one
point. It was a great comeback
for Chicopee, as they had trailed
by as many as 15 points during
the field events.
The Colts took charge
immediately when they swept the
javelin for a 9-0 lead. Stephanie
Beaulieu was first, with a throw
of 96-1 and was follwed by
teammates, Mackenzie Lachance
and Meghan Boone. Chicopee
got a win in the pole vault from
Megan Socha, 8-6 and a third
from Macy Carleton. They were
sandwiched around Kathryn
Edler of Comp. It was 6-3 for
Chicopee and the score went
to 12-6. The Colts stretched
their lead with a first and second in the discus, led by Jenna
Lynn Herd, 74-9 and Boone,
74-7. Gina Mitchell picked a
point for Chicopee in third and
after the 8-1, it was 20-7. Two

t has been an up and down
start for both Belchertown
and Chicopee High girls’
lacrosse teams, but in this
one, it was the Orioles that
dominated and that began in
just the first minute. They
scored seemingly at will in
the first half on their way to
a 16-5 victory. On that very
first goal, Emma Jopson
picked up an assist for the
200th point of her career.
It took Belchertown
just 20 seconds to get on
the board and another minute to go up by two. Before
the game was 4:00 old, the
lead went to three and by the
midpoint, they had stretched
the lead to 7-0. Belchertown
finished the half with three
more goals to put them up by
ten at the break. Chicopee
scored their first goal with
just over a minute gone in
the second half and then
added three more to make
it 10-4 some 8:00 in. The
Orioles answered that fourth
goal 30 seconds later scored
two more in the next two
minutes. They scored four
more in the last 10 minutes
and led by twelve before
Chicopee got one back with
just over a minute to play.
Twenty seconds was
all Belchertown need to get
the lead and it was Abby
Robinson with an assist from
Jopson to make it 1-0. That
was Jopson’s 200th point. A
minute later Audrey Duhaime
made it 2-0, unassisted. As
the fourth minute was coming to an end Kathy Bowers
scored Belchertown’s third
goal, also unassisted.
Duhaime picked up her
second goal of the night at
the 9:00-mark with an assist
by Bowers. With 12:35
left Robinson got her second goal and 20 seconds
after that Jopson picked her
first. Duhaime made it a hat
trick with a goal a minute
later, giving the Orioles a 70 lead with 8:33 remaining,
Duhaime scored again, getting a helper from Jopson,
who then scored the last two
goals of the half at 5:28 and
3:47, both were unassisted. That gave Jopson a hat trick
as well to go along with two
first half assists.
Alexa Giec put Chicopee
on the score sheet at 1:07
of the second half and the
almost three minutes later,
she converted a pass from
Karina Ortiz to make it 10-2. Kayla Calaf then scored two
goals in a minute, assisted
at 6:43 by Ortiz and at 7:55

Falcon bats too much for Colts
By Nate Rosenthal
Turley Publications
WILBRAHAM - For
the second time in three
days, the Minnechaug softball team ended a game
in five innings and both
games were by the same
12-0 score. This time the
opponent was Chicopee
Comprehensive and they
got two hits in the game. It ended in the fifth when
Rachel Crafts singled
home Katelyn Thompson
with the 12th run.
Thompson had an
easy time with the Colts. She opened the game by
striking out the first two
batters and made it a
one, two three first with
a grounder for the third
out. Minnechaug took a
quick lead in the bottom
of the first. they got the
only run they would need
as Tricia Murphy worked
her way around the bases. Though she struck out,
Murphy reached first
when the ball got away. She stole second, went to
third on a passed ball and
scored on a wild pitch. Emma Hicklen, who had
ended the previous game
with a grand slam, went
deep again to make it 20. Mikaela Montemagni
struck out the side and finsished the first with four.
Thompson retired
the first two batters in
the second, but then gave
up her first hit to Gena
Melfi, who was promptly
thrown out at second trying to steal. The Colts
picked up their second
and final hit in the third,
as Sam Thibault beat out
an infield hit with one
out. A couple of passed
balls got her to third, but
a strikeout and a grounder
back to Thompson ended
the inning. It was three
ground outs to Crafts in
the fourth and one more
base runner for Comp in
the fifth, a two out walk to
Josclyn Bourguignon.
The Falcons effectively put the game away

followed by a walk to
Crafts loaded the bases. One wild pitch scored
Thompson and another
scored Murphy. Crafts
came home on an error. Hicklen walked, stole second went to third on an
error and scored on a wild
pitch before the next batter
made the first out. Murray
scored on a single by
Rothschild-Shea, who then
came home when Grace
Brennan reached on an
error. Through three, the
score was 8-0, the same as
it was two days earlier. Minnechaug picked
up two more in the fourth
as Crafts, who had doubled scored when Hicklen
r e a c h e d o n a n e r r o r. Anderson then doubled
home Hicklen for run number ten. This game ended
in the fifth. With one
out, Brennan singled and
Thompson walked a passed
ball got them to second
and third and a wild pitch
brought home Brennan. Thompson remained at
third after a dropped third
strike got Kelsey Allard
to first, but then she came
home with the game-ender,
a single by Crafts to right
center.
Again, it was great
pitching and timely hitting. Thompson allowed just two
hits in her five innings. She
struck out five and allowed
just one ball to be hit out
of the infield. Crafts had
two hits and was on base
three times, scoring twice. Hicklen, with one hit was
also on base three times,
scoring each time and
knocking in two.
Comp fell to 5-5
with the loss. In earlier
games, they beat Amherst,
3-1 and lost to Westfield,
12-2. Though they had
just one hit, a single by
Alysson DesJeans, Alyssa
Johnson threw a one hitter
as well. The Colts won
it with two in the top of
the seventh. They had just
three hits in the Westfield
loss. The Colts next game
is with Ludlow.

“I’m very excited to
rejoin the Pioneers,” said
Molinari. “We have to perform our best and to get
results on the field. Our
goal is to make the playoffs
and to qualify for the 2017
US Open Cup.”
Dennis Gomes is
returning as Molinari’s top
assistant coach. Gomes
was Pioneers head coach in
2015, and has been a longtime assistant working with
Molinari. “I’m looking forward to the start of the season and to see what we can
accomplish” Gomes commented.

trainiing
from page 1
training was delayed due
to icy conditions freezing the landscape, and
though the day started off
more favorably, midway
through training operations, firefighters faced
another challenging element: a rainstorm. Before
they had to wrap up, firefighters set up a belay system after they climbed up
a portion of the structure
and repelled down.
“It’s about mitigating
the risk,” said Assistant
Director of the team and
Northampton firefighter
Daryl Springman. “The
team’s mission is to provide rapid response and
stabilization and mitigate
the risk that firefighters
have to face on a regular
basis.”
In addition to the
from the front
training that the team provides its members – and
therefore the local communities – through a
grant from the Homeland
Security Advisory
Council, the team has been
able to purchase several
trailers filled with rope
rescue gear and safety
equipment. The WMTRT
is currently operational to
tackle high-angle rescues,
low-angle rescues, trench
rescues, tower rescues, and
confined space rescues in
both manmade accidents
and natural disasters.
“Designed similarly
to the Hazmat model (rescue team) in mind, our
team provides assistance
that no local resources
could support,” Jerusik
said. “Whether it’s a building collapse or a hiker
caught in a confined space
or someone trapped on a
high tower, we’re always
training to be prepared to
offer up that assistance.”
