City Council
appoints Lopez
to vacant seat
By Manon L. Mirabelli
Correspondent
HOLYOKE – The thirteenth time was the charm
Tuesday night when the
City Council voted to return
Diosdado Lopez to the local
government body to fill the atlarge seat left vacant by Jennifer
E. Chateauneuf’s resignation.
Lopez will ser ve the
remainder of Chateauneuf ’s
second, two-year term, which
will expire at the end of 2017.
The 13 council members present at the meeting
came to a majority vote after
the thirteenth roll call ballot
was taken, selecting Lopez as
the first Hispanic resident to
serve as a Holyoke at-large city
councilor.
It was not the first time
L o p e z m a d e h i s t o r y. I n
November 1991, he was the
first Hispanic resident elected by the people to represent
Ward 2 and began his duties in
January 1992. It was a position
he would hold for 20 years
until April 2011 when he did
not seek reelection.
The 15-member council
was down to 13 members present as a result of Chateauneuf’s
resignation and at-Large
Councilor James M. Leahy’s
absence due to a business trip
leaving the 13 councilors to
fulfill council rules of filling
the vacancy with an eight-vote
majority in alphabetical order.
Also in the running for the
seat were James F. Brunault,
Mimi Panitch, John G.
Whelihan, Anthony M. Keane,
Juan C. Anderson-Burgos,
Jerome L. Hobert, Jordan M.
Lemieux, Darlene Elias and
Adrian K. Dahlin, all of whom
received votes during the 13
rounds of ballots cast by council members.
Diosdado Lopez makes history a second time after City Council selects
him to fill the seat left vacant by Jennifer Chateauneuf’s resignation.
Public support for CPA strong
HOLYOKE – Members of

for the Community Preservation

Council meeting with one

state-wide level without reaping the benefits of the program.
Walter Clune addressed
the council during its public
participation portion of the
meeting and said he supports
the initiative at the 1.5 percent
level because it will allow the
city to implement the same
local projects that taxpayers are

The main attraction for
this year’s event is the Holyoke
Great Stone Dam located on
the Connecticut River.
According to the Boston
Society of Civil Engineers, the
dam is part of an extensive
canal system which powered
the late 19th and early 20th
century mills in Holyoke.
Engineeryourfuture.org is honoring the damn this year.
When the dam was created, it would end up being a
source of power for the city.

ing the proclamation for Martins, who
McGee described as “a gentle giant,” was
unanimously approved by the council.
“He has a wealth of knowledge and
experience. It’s amazing,” McGee noted.
“He will be sorely missed.”
McGee added Martins could always
be counted on to provide him with
information he could bring back to his
constituents that was written in such a
manner that was easy for the lay person
to understand.
Standing before the microphone to
speak, Martins said he was not a good
public speaker but wanted to address
the crowd and audience at home to
thank the people with whom he worked
for being as dedicated to their jobs as he
was to his.
“I look back on the years, and it’s

Chief Procurement Officer David A. Martins has retired after more than 45 years working in
city hall.
At the top of Martins’ list of coworkers to recognize was former city
employee Tony Fernandez, former City
Clerk Susan Egan and Anna Guzman,
accounts payable clerk in the Purchasing
Department who he praised for her
attention to detail and having the ability to know what he needed before he
himself knew.
“She is a person of true honesty,”
Martins said of Guzman. “She’s like
Radar on M*A*S*H. …Always knew
what I wanted before I asked.”
Guzman, who has worked in the
Procurement Department as Martins’
employee for 30 years, said she will
“miss him very, very much.” She also
said she was touched by his words and
public recognition of her and was not
expecting such high praise.
“Thirty years. Can you imagine? It
was like we were married, in a way,”
she quipped, adding what Martins’ said
made her happy.
“I’m glad he feels that way about
me. I feel the same about him. It’s mutual,” she said.
Of Martins’ skill as chief procurement officer, Guzman noted “he knew
what he was doing all the time.”
“He was careful,” she added. “He
followed all the laws.”

Fundraiser supports air transportation
Soul, your slants &for
rantsveterans
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
HOLYOKE – With his sights sets on
providing air transportation to meet the
medical needs of veterans, Jesus Pereira
is letting his support of veterans soar with
an upcoming event at the Moose Family
Center on Saturday.
After returning home from serving in
Kuwait, like many veterans, Pereira found
himself in need of care and sought out
medical attention at the Veterans Affairs
Hospital. What the Holyoke resident soon
learned was 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.”
For those who have to make it to
locations 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. So, he created the non-profit
organization Vet Air.
“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 an 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
HOLYOKE - The young mothers at The Care Center, a unique program that prepares them to earn a high
school equivalency degree and prepare
for college and beyond, are set to release
the 14th edition of their annual journal of art and poetry, Nautilus II¸ at the
Odyssey Bookshop in South Hadley on
Wednesday, June 15, at 10:30 a.m.
“This book puts our stories out there
for anyone, but especially for other young
mothers who don’t have a voice,” said
Kiara Cruz, a Care Center student, and
mother of two. “People who haven’t met
us can see that we’re not just mothers on
welfare. They’ll see our emotions and our
true selves.”
This has been the mission of Nautilus
II since it was founded 14 years ago by
Tzivia Gover, the Care Center’s poetry
instructor, and a group of Care Center
students. This year’s edition also marks a
transition, as it will be the final year that
Gover will lead the editorial board.
Gover, who started the journal in
2003 as a way to highlight the talents and
accomplishments of student poets and
artists, is leaving The Care Center’s poetry
program to focus on her own writing
and other projects. “I came to The Care
Center thinking I’d be teaching young
women lessons about poetry and writing. In the end they have taught me more
than I could have imagined about motherhood, courage—and also letting go,”
said Gover.
The Care Center will continue to
publish Nautilus II. “It has become part
of the fabric of our school and what we
offer,” said Anne Teschner, The Care
Center’s executive Director. Nautilus
II is carried in college libraries, and
area bookstores. In addition, the journal was among the projects at The Care
Center that were honored by the White
House in 2011 with a National Arts and
Humanities Youth Program Award, issued
by The President’s Committee on the Arts
and Humanities.
Of this year’s edition, poet Martín
Espada writes, “…the students of The
Care Center are not only survivors, but
true poets. They dream and sing of their
dreams. They love their children and try
to make a better world.”
A literary reading and celebration
of Nautilus II vol. 14 will take place
Wednesday morning, June 15, 10:30
a.m. at Odyssey Bookshop, 9 College St.,
South Hadley. Care Center students will
read their poems from the journal, and
books will be available for sale. The event
is free and open to the public.

Vega helps House pass
Fiscal Year 2017 budget
In the newS
HOLYOKE - Rep. Aaron Vega (D Holyoke) was pleased to join his colleagues in passing a $39.56 billion budget for Fiscal Year 2017, beginning July 1,
2016, with debate ending on Wednesday,
April 27.
“Once again the House has crafted a
budget that addresses the current needs
of the Commonwealth while building
toward a strong economic future,” said
Vega. “Additional funds in many areas of
public health, local aid, Veterans services
and education will have a positive impact
in Holyoke. I look forward to continuing to advocate for the programs and the
funding that are important to us all.”
Highlights for Vega include the
awarding of $70,000 through the
MassTech Collaborative for STEM
programs at the Girls Inc. chapters in
Holyoke, Lynn, and Worcester; and
$30,000 to Holyoke Works for their programs addressing the needs of low-skilled
and bilingual workers.
Another of Vega’s top priorities
was to increase funding for the Safe &
Successful Youth Initiative, a program
that has offered hope and opportunity for
many young men in Hampden County.
The funding was increased by $500,000
to $6.5 million. The Shannon Grant, a
similar program, also received increased
funding, though the $6,000,000 represents a cut from FY 2016 funding.
Vega also pushed for more funding for Medicaid reimbursement rates
for Disproportionate Share, or DSH,
Hospitals. DSH Hospitals like Holyoke
Medical Center and Providence Hospital
have a majority of revenue coming from
government programming. Vega with
the help of many of his colleagues was
successful in obtaining an additional
$1,000,000 in funding for this line item.
Educational funding saw important increases. The budget boosts the
Chapter 70 formula from $25 to $55
per pupil, bringing an extra $100,000+
to each school district. Funding was
also increased for the early education
workforce, including a $15 million salary reserve, $2 million for access to early
education programs, and $18.6 million
for kindergarten expansion grants.
Other significant funding increases
include a $500,000 increase in Head Start
funding; $750,000 more for Meals on

Drug summit suggests
local efforts in opioid
Seniorson right path
fight
By David E. Sullivan
Northwestern District Attorney
S
From the front
yringe exchange programs. Safe
drug storage campaigns, and
unwanted medication drop boxes.
Prevention efforts. Anti-stigma education.
Available, affordable treatment. Insurance parity. Compassion.
These were the repeating themes at the
National Rx Drug Abuse and Heroin Summit
in Atlanta in March, where leaders from all
levels of government, science, health care and
the recovery movement discussed what it will
take to stem the death toll from the opioid
crisis ravaging the country. President Barack
Obama was on hand, bringing his bully pulpit
with him and committing the federal government’s support in the form of $100 million
to expand treatment at community health
centers.
Obama pledged to put the might of the
federal government into the fight against the
prescription drug abuse and heroin epidemic
that has reached an annual death toll higher
than the lives lost to motor vehicle crashes.
“When you look at the staggering statistics in terms of lives lost, productivity impacted, cost to communities, but most importantly, cost to families, from this epidemic of
opioid abuse, it has to be something that is
right up there at the top of our radar screen,”
the president told an audience of 2,000 at this
year’s summit.
The epidemic has been on the radar
screen in the Pioneer Valley for several years
now. The good news is that many of the evidence-based practices promoted at the national
drug summit are key strategies already adopted in Hampshire and Franklin counties. These
include accessible drop boxes for unwanted
medications in convenient locations, such as
the South Hadley Police Department. Also,
promotion of the Good Samaritan law which
lets people summon help for a person in the
throes of an overdose without fear of prosecution and getting overdose-reversal medications
in the hands of all first-responders as well as
everyday people who might need to use it - without requiring a prescription. Grassroots
community groups, including the Quaboag
Hills Substance Use Task Force, Hampshire
HOPE Coalition and SOAAR, (Speaking Out
About Addiction and Recovery), which supports people in recovery and their families,
bring community members, treatment providers, law enforcement, recovering drug users
and their families to the table for for the “all
hands on deck” approach President Obama
and others at the drug summit recommended.
So yes, we’ve made headway, but we’re
not out of the woods yet. Insurance parity
practices need to improve, ensuring that people suffering from the disease of addiction are
treated with the same care and compassion as
those suffering from cancer, diabetes or other
life-threatening chronic health conditions.

My mother, Kathy, is the most generous

her more than words could ever express.
She is always there for her family. She is the

cuddling with their “mamma.” She is great
to laugh with and always a good listener.
She works hard as a nurse and has inspired
me to go back to school for nursing.
She is always there for me and I know
I can always count on her. She is one of

‘They worked a miracle’
Team
Holyoke
HCC students volunteer for Day of Service
in Holyoke last week
HOLYOKE - The bad news last week for Providence
Ministries was that a water leak Tuesday flooded one of
the storage rooms in Margaret’s Pantry, the charity’s food
pantry on Cabot Street.
The good news was that a large group of studentvolunteers from Holyoke Community College was
scheduled to arrive just two days later as part of HCC’s
first Day of Service event.
During the morning volunteer session Thursday,
HCC students moved cabinets, emptied shelves, rolled
up water-soaked rugs and swept the floors before
plumbers arrived to tear of the floors.
“The students took the whole room apart
and moved everything into the back,” said Brenda
Lamagdeleine, program manager for Providence
Ministries and the volunteer coordinator. “In just an
hour’s time, they worked a miracle. They were awesome. It really made my job a lot easier. “
Throughout the day, about 70 HCC students participated in the Day of Service event, which was organized
by Laura Larson, HCC associate professor of human
services and coordinator of HCC’s “One Campus, One
Theme: Food” initiative.
Students from Larson’s Introduction to Human
Services class, as well as students from Raul Gutierrez’s
Spanish and Laura Christoph’s nutrition classes took
part throughout the day at community agencies that
provide food to low-income people.
“We started talking about how we could make this
an event that really benefits the community outside of
HCC and engages our students in the issues of hunger
and food justice in the Holyoke community in a way
that we haven’t done before at HCC,” said Laura Larson.
In addition to cleaning out the water-soaked room
at Margaret’s Pantry, HCC students unloaded delivery
trucks from the Western Massachusetts Food Bank. At
nearby Kate’s Kitchen, also part of Providence Ministries,
students sorted cans and organized the soup kitchen’s
pantry closet. Students painted fences and worked in
the greenhouses at the Nuestras Raices farm off Jones
Ferry Road.
Brianna Fox, of Westfield, and her classmates from
Prof. Christoph’s Introduction to Nutrition class, worked
in the pantry closet at Kate’s Kitchen sorting cans and
arranging them by expiration date.
“We’re trying to organize so when they come in
and get the food, they can find the ones with the closest
dates in the front,” Fox said.
“We’re also getting rid of all the expired stuff,” said
Meghan Crockwell of Suffield, Conn.
During an interview with Channel 22News, Fox
said she came away with a better understanding of the
SULLIVAN, from page 6
We need prevention education, the kind of intensive
public education campaigns that changed attitudes and
improved practices around smoking and motor vehicle
safety that led to dramatic decreases in fatalities from
those causes.
The Summit presented cutting edge research from
the nation’s surgeon general, from physicians and scientists with the Centers for Disease Control and other
agencies. One CDC health scientist reported that heroin
use has increased among most demographic groups and
among all economic groups. Many speakers explained
that the heroin being used now is more pure, more
potent and cheaper than it’s ever been, creating a lethal
situation leading to unnecessary deaths. Heroin mixed
with other drugs, such as Fentanyl, is even more lethal.
U.S. Rep Bill Keating of Massachusetts noted that
opioids have led to 500 percent more deaths than this
country saw over the course of the polio epidemic.
“This is not a criminal justice problem, this is a public
health problem,” said Keating, a former Norfolk district attorney. U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, another leader from
Massachusetts suggested that activism among the citizenry can spark needed policy changes.
“Congress is a stimulus response institution and
there’s nothing more stimulating than millions of
Americans demanding that we do something,” he said.
The opioid epidemic is a complex, multi-faceted
public health problem that hurts us all. But I agree
wholeheartedly with the president, who noted that
though the opioid epidemic reaches everybody, “I’m
optimistic that we can solve it.”
We need to view this epidemic as the threat to
public health it is. Then we must employ science-based
strategies that draw on prevention, treatment and education as we work together to save lives endangered by
this national crisis.

we want it,” she said.
Jasmine Lugo, kitchen manager for Kate’s Kitchen,
said the help was much appreciated. “We get so much
intake and we’re just really shoving it in there and it
becomes a mess that way,” Lugo said, “so when Brenda
mentioned that the students were coming over I said,
oh, perfect opportunity for someone to tackle that area,
so this was just perfect.”
Lamagdeleine said the students were welcome back
any time.
“We’re very fortunate that Holyoke Community
College students come our way,” she said. “I think it
gives them a better sense of what’s going on in our community, and it just makes it much easier to be able to do
what we want to do with our clients.”

HOLYOKE - Each year, the National

grant programs to support schools across
the country with a number of different
literacy initiatives.
This year, Holyoke High School has
been awarded $1,000 through the 2016
NEA’s Books Across America Library
Books Awards.
Applicants for the award were asked
to provide a comprehensive plan for the
use of the funds, as well as information
about the community they serve. Schools
were also asked to provide demographics
including the number of students who
receive free or reduced lunch.
In the case of the City of Holyoke,

approximately 22.6 percent of families
live below the poverty line, including
41.7 percent of those under age 18.
Holyoke High School is one of two high
schools serving the city. Encouraging students to pursue higher education is not
just a priority, it’s an imperative.
Students are encouraged to take the
Scholastic Aptitude Test in order to move
on to higher education. Achieving a
respectable score on the SAT is a requirement for admission to most four year
colleges and universities. However, as
of March 2016, the SAT was completely
overhauled, making the majority of the
high school’s SAT study resources obsolete.

“This way the students will be prepared and comfortable with the revised
exam,” Stein said.
The Holyoke High School Library
provides students not only with ample
study resources and a quiet place to
work, but also with access to technology,
the opportunity to check out books in
Spanish, and most recently a “Lending
Library for Little Ones” created by a faculty member to encourage students to
take books home to read to younger siblings or family members.
“Many teachers will give their students extra credit for reading to family
members,” Stein said. They also strongly
encourage their students to check out
books they are interested in, rather than
limiting themselves to the required
reading.
Stein said she has seen an equal
number of students come in to check out
books as they do to use the computers
and laptops that are available.
Along with the NEA grant, the
Holyoke High School was also recently awarded $2,500 from the James
Patterson Award to buy books about
drugs and drug abuse, improving their
already impressive holdings. Though the
library does provide a massive selection
of newer books, Stein says they do still
accept donations of hardcover books in
good shape that are high interest young

LOPEZ, from page 1
Prior to the voting, some council members voiced
their opinions on the events that led to Chateauneuf’s
resignation.
Ward 5 Councilor Linda Vacon said was “saddened
and dismayed” by the silence from the city’s leadership
community and urged “civility towards everyone” to
eradicate “the bullying and harassing tones” of Holyoke
politics, a comment met by applause from the audience
that filled council chambers.
“At first, I was so upset I couldn’t even put the
words together,” she said. “I was saddened and dismayed. Now I find the silence stunning. In my opinion, Jen was bullied, and that violates the boundaries
of civility previously unseen in Holyoke.”
At-Large Councilor Daniel Bresnahan praised
Vacon for her comment saying, “I commend you for
these words. She (Chateauneuf) is a wonderful person.
It’s sad that we have to do this. The first vote should go
to her.”

MassWildlife conducted a statewide
Bald Eagle nesting survey on April 8 to
check known nests and document new

far are very encouraging for our growing

The robust populations along the
Connecticut River and the Quabbin
Reservoir are stable, and eagle nests
continue to be found throughout the
rest of the state. A number of new nests
have been documented this year and
include the towns of Pittsfield, Erving,
Westminster, and Newburyport, with
several other unconfirmed reports of

HOLYOKE - On his way home from Mt. Tom, Holyoke resident
Dennis J. Lee happened to see a Bald Eagle being chased
by a group of crows. It was on the left side of Rt. 5 along the
Connecticut River. About a half mile up the road, Lee spotted
him in a tree, so he pulled over and took this photo. “As a long
birder, the bald eagle has always been one of my favorite
birds,” he said. “This was the first opportunity that I had my
camera and a stationary eagle as my subject.”

Team
Holyoke
SPRINGFIELD - The New England Mutiny contin-
ue to prepare for their home opener on Saturday, May
14 against the New York Magic at East Longmeadow
High School at 7 p.m., as the Mutiny have officially
announced their coaching staff for the 2016 season. Joe
Abele will return for his second season as head coach
while Rebecca Lewis joins the team as goalkeeper coach.
“Joe did a tremendous job with the squad last season,” said New England Mutiny owner Joe Ferrara, Jr.
“With his return along with our core group of players
coming back, I feel that consistency and familiarity with
the system will take us to greater heights this year in
United Women’s Soccer.”
“This is going to be an exciting year for us,” said
Abele, who led New England to the Power 5 Division
title last year with a 8-2 overall record. “We have a great
core of veterans, an outstanding group of new players
and amazing chemistry. We are looking forward to the
challenges of the new league and what it has to offer.”
Abele returned to the Mutiny coaching staff in
2014 as goalkeeper coach, after serving as an assistant
during the 2006-07 seasons. Joe has been a coach for
West Hartford Premiere/FSAFC UNITED since 2007
and West Hartford Boys Travel Coach since 2008. Abele

Pioneers ready for new season
Open on the road at Seacoast
LUDLOW - The Western Mass Pioneers are ready to
kick off the 2016 Premier Development League season.
This is the 19th year the Pioneers will compete in the
United Soccer Leagues.
The Pioneers’ first game is Saturday, May 7 at longtime rivals the Seacoast Phantoms. Western Mass stays
on the road to Long Island Rough Riders on May 14,
before returning to Lusitano Stadium for their home
opener on May 22.
The pressure is on Western Mass to improve from
their 2015 record of 1-2-11. Head coach Federico
Molinari rejoins the team, having left in 2015 to coach
the WM Pro Soccer team, which reached the finals and
lost in penalty kicks. Molinari was the Western Mass
Pioneers head coach in 2012-2014, and played six sea-

The Golden Hawks are now 1-7 this season.
Softball
Pathfinder defeated Dean Tech 27-15 on Tuesday
afternoon, dropping the Golden Hawks to a 1-8 record.
The Golden Hawks benefited from a lot of walks
in the game to get their 15 runs. Naline Serrano,
Dannysha Medina, and Paola Rohena-Perez all had
sons for the Pioneers (2003, 2006-2010).
“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.
The complete Western Mass roster will be released
at the end of the week, but here is a glimpse of some
players that will be wearing the famous Pioneers shirt.

three runs scored.
Edeni Colon-Rivera went the distance, allowing all
27 runs on 17 hits, walked nine, and struck out two
over six innings.
Dean Tech also lost to Commerce last Friday 20-5,
and fell 23-6 against Putnam Vocational High School
last Wednesday afternoon.
Dean Tech is currently 1-8 this season, having their
only win on April 22 against Sci-Tech.
Coming up, the Golden Hawks will try to change
their fortunes when they take on Franklin Technical for
the second time this year coming up on May 6 at 4 p.m.
at home. They will travel to the Renaissance School at 4
p.m. on Tuesday afternoon.
VOLLEYBALL, from page 20
The fourth game nearly brought the match to a
fifth game, with the two teams playing almost even
with one another, trading leads and ties. But Holyoke
went to the limit and would take the victory 25-23 to
win the match overall.
The Knight’s Tyler Beauregard had 15 kills and 22
digs while Jerry Cruz, Jr. finished with 16 kills. Orland
Pereira had 18 digs and five kills. Will Agron was great
from the service line with five aces.
Southwick was led by Todesco with 15 kills and
17 digs. Declan O’Donnell had 17 digs and Prewett
finished with seven kills.
The win lifted Holyoke’s regular season record
to 8-3 with a 4-2 league record this season. The
Knights have won three straight with wins over Sabis,
Southwick, and their biggest win ever over Chicopee
Comprehensive last Wednesday afternoon 3-1. Comp
has been a powerhouse for the past several years, but
has gone through a rebuilding phase this year.
Southwick is currently holding its own with a
3-5 record with a 3-4 record that counts toward tournament. The Rams played Wilbraham & Monson
Academy and lost.
The Rams must win three of their final five matches to qualify for tournament with a .500 record. The
Rams do have wins over three of their final five opponents, Ware, Dean Tech, and Smith Vocational.

In the fourth inning, the top of the Lions order
prevailed, with Jake Murphy walking and eventually
coming around to score on an error in center field.
Holyoke countered in the bottom of the fourth,
though, with Delude walking and scoring on a groundout.
The Lions took advantage of a couple of Holyoke
miscues to put up two runs in the fifth, but Jeffrey
Hodge shut the Lions down and pitched the fifth,
sixth, and seventh innings to pick up the save for the
Lions.
Soares suffered the loss for the Lions. He went the
first three innings and allowed five runs on five hits,
and walked three.

game.
Delude got the win in relief, going two innings,
allowing one run on three hits, walking two and striking out two.
The Knights were led on offense by Vazquez with

it to stay that way, and came
back with a run in the top of
the third as Chris Webster led
off with a walk. Alex Soares
also walked, but Holyoke’s
Delude struck out the next
two hitters before allowing an
RBI single to Jake Pariseau to
HOLYOKE – Though
there were plenty of short rallies, it was a four-run second
inning that provided a victory
for the Holyoke High School
baseball game over Ludlow
last Saturday morning.
The 9-5 victory was a
make-up of a rainout from
April 26, and both teams were
raring to go at Mackenzie
Field.
The Knights held a 51 lead after two innings, but
Ludlow continued to try and
inch their way back in the
fourth, fifth, and sixth innings.
Holyoke would add two more
runs in the bottom of the sixth
inning to essentially ice the
game.
Holyoke’s big inning came
in the bottom of the second,

Golden Hawks struggling this season

HOLYOKE – It has been
a tough week for the Dean
Technical High School baseball team as they dropped three
more games this week following
a tough game in which coach
Brian Harris was ejected from a
game against Pathfinder.
Last Friday, the Golden
Hawks were taken out by
McCann Technical High School
15-0 at Springdale Park.
Dean Tech struggled on
offense and McCann had a
couple of big innings, scoring
five times in the first inning and
seven runs in the sixth.
Dean Tech only managed
five hits, with Desmond Gonet
having the best chance of crossing the plate for a run. He hit a
triple, but his teammates could
not drive him in.
Last Thursday, the Golden
Hawks had a more competitive matchup against Franklin
Technical High School 7-5.
Dean Tech scored three
runs in the bottom of the sixth
and one more in the seventh,
but their rally fell short.
The Eagles put up a fivespot in the top of the sixth to
break the game open before
the Golden Hawks attempted a
comeback.
Josh Menard had a good
game, going 2-for-3 with
two runs scored and an RBI.
Jonathan Alicea had two runs
scored and a hit.
Menard also pitched most
of the game, going the first
six innings and getting tagged
for seven runs on 13 hits. He

HOLYOKE – The Holyoke
High School boys volleyball
team has struggled a bit the last
two seasons after having a 16-4
run a few years ago.
Now, the Knights are looking to make a comeback and
have been surrounding themselves with more challenging
matches.
But last Friday, they had
the distinct advantage as they
hosted Southwick Regional
School at home.
The Rams are a new program, only in their second
year in existence and playing a
shortened schedule hoping for
a .500 record to get a taste of
the tournament.
Holyoke’s experience was
what prevailed in that match, as
Southwick managed just a second game win. Holyoke would
prevail 3-1 in a very competitive match.
The match started out
almost even in the first game
between Holyoke started to pull
away later in the match. They
would end up taking a seven to
eight-point lead and would ride
that to a 25-15 win.
That was the largest margin
of victory for the remainder of
the match. Southwick would
ride some good performances
from Ryan Todesco and Jacob
Prewett as they won the second
game 25-20.
Holyoke recovered into the
third set and overcame a couple
of early hiccups to win 25-17.
