Tipping the keys
to a future
RiverMills celebrates
Mardi Gras
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – The
Chicopee Senior Center at
RiverMills resonated with the
sounds of New Orleans in a
full-fledged Mardi Gras celebration, jumpstarting what
will become a monthly effort
to provide evening programming for Chicopee’s senior
citizens.
Dozens of seniors
flocked to a fully decorated
lower level of RiverMills in
the early evening on Feb. 9,
treated to warm tunes provided by The Agawam Melody
Band on a markedly frigid
night. Light refreshments
followed the musical performance.
“The music was great
and it was nice to see so
many people come out for it.

Restaurant patron gives
a car to sushi chef

T
hough tipping may be
considered rude in parts
of Huang “Shubai” Hui’s
native homeland of China, when
a patron of Ichiban Chinese &
Japanese Restaurant left the
sushi chef gratuity totaling to
much more than 18 percent, he
wasn’t upset – he was outright
shocked. At the end of his dining experience, Chicopee resident Paul Davis didn’t hand Hui
any dollars; he handed him a set
of keys.
“I can’t’ believe it,” Hui
said describing the generous
gift. “I never thought someone
would give a gift or a surprise
like this for me!”
Hui spent his formative
years in the Fujian Province
of China in Hujiang. When he
was only 6 years old, he lost
his father. An only child being
raised by his mother, at 19,
in search of a “better life” he
decided to move to the United
States.
“I wanted to make her [my
mother] proud,” he explained.
“In the beginning, it was really
rough.”
Although he learned some
English while in school in
China, moving to a new country
where the main language isn’t
native to you, Hui said was chal-

success, drawing 235 attendees for the organization’s

CHICOPEE – Valentine’s
Day has become synonymous
with cards, hearts, and love, but
for the 11.8 million American
seniors living alone and facing
isolation, those associations may
be out of reach. Chicopee hockey
players and their families, however, made sure that the holiday was
a real “barn burner” for recipients of meals through WestMass
ElderCare Home Delivered Meal.
Through a combined effort
from students from Edward
Bellamy Middle School’s Junior
National Honor Society, Student
C ou n ci l a n d I n t el l ec t ua l ly
Impaired Program, students
at the Kasak School of Dance,
residents of West Springfield,
and Loomis House Retirement
Community, the Chicopee High
School Varsity Hockey Team and
See MEOW page 7
Hockey Booster Club assembled more than 700 handmade
Valentine’s Day cards to accompany WestMass ElderCare’s home
delivered meals.
“We know that these unique
handmade cards have brightened
the lives of the many homebound
individuals we serve, and are
most grateful for the thoughtfulness of youth in participating
in this project,” said Priscilla L.
Chalmers, executive director of
WestMass ElderCare, based in
Holyoke.
The initiative was spawned
after one of the parents of the
p l a y e r s , A n n m a r i e B r ow n ,
had discovered the website
DoSomething.org. As part of the
one of the largest global organizations for young people and social
change, the site tackles volunteer campaigns that impact every
cause. With the “Love Letters”
campaign, the site invites youth
to combat loneliness and depres-

“I had to talk to as many
people as I possibly could,” he
said. “That’s how you get better [at learning a language]. You
talk to as many people as you
can.”
And he did. About a year
after his arrival, Hui was able
to touch base with the owners
of Ichiban Chinese & Japanese
Restaurant in South Hadley and
has been a sushi chef with the
business for the past three years.
Though the now 23-year-old
hangs up his hat in Chicopee, he
continued to work hard and help
support his mother, until a year
ago, when she too, passed away.

Crime stopper to math solver
Former NYPD detective
finds new challenge
teaching middle school
By Mike Lydick
Staff Writer
D
eborah Maisonave
spent 20 years
helping to solve
crimes on the streets of
New York City. Now the
former Chicopee resident
is helping students in
Agawam solve math problems.
A teacher at Roberta
Doering School, she started teaching in Agawam
in September after 10
years at a Holyoke middle
school.
Maisonave retired
from the New York Police
Department in 2003 after
a 20-year career. Promoted
to detective in 1999, she
began her law enforcement career in 1983 when
she was appointed to the
New York City Transit
Police Department, which
merged with the NYPD in
1995.
Eligible to retire at
age 42, she turned in her
badge and gun and started
looking for a new career.
Maisonave thought about
becoming a professional
chef, but realized it would
require nights and weekends: “I had had 20 years
of that.”
T h a t ’s w h e n s h e
decided to pursue a second
career as a math teacher.
“I’m a logical thinker
— I’ve always had an ease
with math, especially as a
student in high school and
college,” she said.
Knack for teaching
She also knew she had
a knack for teaching, having directed some personnel training while with the
NYPD, but she decided to
focus on a much younger
age group for her second
career.
“As a newly retired
cop, I had an edge that
wouldn’t have boded well
for me as a high school
teacher,” she explained.
“I chose to teach middle
school math. Younger kids
need a comfortable, safe
environment to struggle
with and find success with
math - which is what I
try to create in my classroom.”
Another factor in her
new career choice was her
daughter — just 12 when
Maisonave retired.
“Her dad had recently
passed away and I wanted
to be on her schedule for
once and more available
for her,” Maisonave said.
A native New Yorker,
she and her daughter
moved to Chicopee so
Maisonave could be closer to her mother and her
younger siblings, who
had relocated to Western
Massachusetts several
years earlier. Using two
years of college credits
from a police science program at John Jay College
of Criminal Justice in New
York City, she enrolled in
classes at UMass Amherst.
Maisonave graduated
in 2005 with a bachelor’s
degree in education. She
received her master’s
degree to teach grades 1-8
math at Lesley University
in Cambridge after she
took classes for three years
in satellite locations in
Holyoke and Springfield.
Her education career
began when was hired for
a paraprofessional position
in Holyoke. She became a
teacher and stayed there
until the state takeover of
the district last year.
“I’m Hispanic and
I had a comfort with the
language and culture,”
she said. “I left Holyoke
because it was time for
me to move on. Things
radically changed after the
state took over.”
Seeking a new challenge, she applied for
the position at Doering.
T h e s c h o o l ’s p r i n c i pal, Sue Federico, said
Maisonave’s experience as
an NYPD detective indicated she was an experienced professional with
people skills.
“We don’t often have
career law enforcement
officers apply for teaching
jobs, so I feel fortunate to
have attracted Debbie to

our school,” Federico said.
Motivated professional
Federico calls
Maisonave a highly motivated professional who is
very “positive, warm, and
direct in her thinking. ...
Debbie has a strong work
ethic. She puts a lot of
time into working with her
students and planning her
lessons. She takes a great
deal of pride in her students’ accomplishments.”
She added that
Maisonave recognizes that
students learn math concepts in different ways, so
she teaches math several
ways to help them solve
problems.
“Police officers and
teachers are alike in that
they like to help others,”
said Federico. “Debbie
obviously gets a lot of
satisfaction helping students and families. Hiring
Debbie has proven to be a
wise decision.”
Maisonave, one of
only four math teachers at
the school, teaches grade
5 intensive math. It’s like
a regular math class, but
with a smaller class size
so she can provide concentrated support to students.
“I love just teaching
math,” she said “My students are on the low end
of the academic scale in
math and it’s a great challenge to teach them strategies that make math
approachable so they can
find success.”
‘A million shades’
As a law enforcement officer, Maisonave’s
world was “very black and
white.” Now, she finds it
“a million shades of many
colors.”
As a cop, if someone
broke the law, “I arrested
you and there was very little in between,” she said.
“I had no interest in why
you broke the law. I was
non-emotional and good
at my job.”
As a teacher,
Maisonave said she has
to figure out how best to
help students succeed.
“Both jobs are like solving
a puzzle — a challenge I
love to have.”
Maisonave said she
still misses police work,
but has no regrets about
changing careers.
“It was time for me
to move on,” she said.
“Being a cop at 20 is a lot
different physically than
being a cop at 40.”
Teaching at Doering
is “a tremendous opportunity” said Maisonave. “I
look forward to helping
students find success and
comfort in the math that
they will use for the rest
of their lives. I also hope I
can inspire them to be anything they set their minds
to be and do it well.”

Lesser sees opioid crisis up close at Baystate
Visit highlights impact
of opioid overdoses on
emergency rooms
SPRINGFIELD – State Sen.
Eric P. Lesser, D-Longmeadow,
toured Baystate Medical
Center’s Emergency Department
this week to see the effects of
the opioid crisis firsthand.
“Opioid overdoses are
flooding emergency rooms
across Massachusetts, notably
right here in Springfield,” Lesser
said. “This visit was an important opportunity to learn what
our medical practitioners are
doing to save as many lives as
possible, and how we can work
together to help reverse the opioid crisis,” Sen. Lesser said.
T h e t o u r wa s l e d b y
Dr. Niels Rathlev, Chair of
Baystate’s Emergency Medicine
department, and was attended by
several Baystate Medical Center
officials, including Baystate
Health President and CEO
Mark Keroack and Baystate
Medical Center President Nancy
Shendell-Falik. In addition to
opioid overdoses, officials discussed the need for improved
mental health services and continued efforts to fight stigma
against those with mental health
conditions.
“We had a very productive
meeting with Sen. Lesser, it was
an opportunity to discuss our
new and innovative methods of
managing the opioid crisis here
in Western Mass. Our physicians
in the Emergency Department
are on the front lines of this
public health crisis and working
tirelessly every day to save lives,
while facilitating the accessibility of substance abuse treatment.
We so appreciate the Senator’s
time and interest,” Rathlev said.
Suspected cases of heroin overdose emergency room
admissions tripled at Baystate
during the period of Fall 2014 to
Fall 2015, according to hospital
officials.
The Massachusetts Senate
passed a substance abuse treat-
ment and prevention bill last
fall, and the House passed its
own bill earlier this month. The
two bills are now in a HouseSenate negotiating team, who
will develop a final bill to send
to Gov. Charlie Baker.
Opioid-related deaths in
Massachusetts rose 228 percent from 2000 to 2014. The
Massachusetts Department of
Public Health confirmed 791
opioid-related deaths from
January to September 2015.

for children with no
insurance on Saturday,
Feb. 27 from 9 a.m. to
2 p.m. at Children’s
Dentistry of Chicopee,
21 Bay State Road in
Chicopee.
Staff and students
from Harvard School
of Dental Medicine as
well as members of
the Mass Academy of
Pediatric Dentistry will
be providing treatment
along with other pediatric dentists. All children
are welcome. Scheduled
appointments are suggested but walk ins are
welcome.
Tooth decay is the
most common childhood disease. Three
out of five children are
affected by tooth decay,
17 million children are
without dental care,
and 19 percent of children ages 2 to 19 have
untreated cavities.
Brush up on your pet’s oral health
C H I C O P E E
– When is the last time
you checked Fido’s
pearly, or not so pearly,
whites? Many pet owners do not realize how
important oral care is
for their pets nor think
it is a priority. February
is National Pet Dental
Health Month, which
brings to light the
importance of caring for
your pet’s oral health.
Don’t turn your
nose to your pet’s bad
breath! Bad breath can
be a sign of serious
health problems for your
precious pooch. According to the American
Ve t e r i n a r y M e d i c a l
Association, 80 percent
of dogs and 70 percent
of cats show signs of
oral disease by the age
of three. Along with bad
breath, signs of dental disease can include
loose or discolored
teeth, teeth covered in
tarter, drooling, bleeding from the mouth,
dropping food from the
mouth, loss of appetite,
and weight loss.
Good
dental
health is just as important for pets as it is for
humans. Poor dental
health can lead to serious health problems
such as heart, lung, and
kidney disease.
While February
is National Pet Dental
Health Month, your
p e t ’s d e n t a l h e a l t h
should be a daily ritual
all year long.

SSO celebrates Black History Month
with Porgy and Bess
SPRINGFIELD
- In honor of Black
History Month, Maestro
Kevin Rhodes and the
Springfield Symphony
Orchestra will present a special evening of
music and spoken word.
On Saturday, Feb. 27, the
SSO program will include
the concert suite version
of George Gershwin’s
immortal American opera,
Porgy and Bess - featuring
four visiting vocal soloists and the Springfield
Symphony Chorus. The
evening’s performance
will begin at 7:30 p.m.
with doors open at 6:00
p.m. All SSO performances are held at Springfield
Symphony Hall, 34 Court
Street, Springfield, MA. An Evening of
Special Guests, the
“Duke,” and the Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The nearly-hour-long
concert suite from Porgy
and Bess features performances from four vocal
soloists: Laquita Mitchell
& Othalie Graham (sopranos), Robert Mack (tenor)
and Kenneth Overton
(baritone) who will be
joined by the Springfield
Symphony Chorus in giving life to George and Ira
Gershwin’s operatic interpretation of life on the fictitious “Catfish Row” in
the 1930s. Rhodes notes
that, in addition to per-
forming the classic musical numbers from Porgy
and Bess, the evening’s
program will include
equally superb-and lesser
known-music from the
Gershwin production. The evening will also
include music from jazz
great Duke Ellington’s
rarely heard ballet, The
River, and the SSO will
combine orchestration
with the spoken word in
a moving performance
of Joseph Schwantner’s
New Morning for the
World. Renowned actor
Avery Brooks will join
in this work, narrating
the words of civil-rights
l e a d e r R eve r e n d D r.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Mr. Brooks is best known
for his performances in
American History X and
the television series Star
Trek: Deep Space Nine
and Spencer For Hire. Also included in the
evening’s special program
will be a performance of
Aaron Copland’s Fanfare
for the Common Man. “I
selected this work because
it serves to inspire and
unite like few works I
know,” said Rhodes. “I
felt that musically it is the
embodiment of Dr. King’s
ethos-and a perfect way to
enhance our evening.” Plan to be at
Springfield Symphony
Hall on Feb. 27 for this
stirring evening in recognition of America’s
political and cultural
African-American leaders. The evening’s performance will begin at 7:30
p.m. with doors open at
6:00 p.m. The performance will be held at
Springfield Symphony
Hall, 34 Court Street,
Springfield, MA. To purchase tickets, visit www.

EDITORIAL
Changes needed,
for the record(s)
R
evised state law regarding the distribution of public records has been
slow to come – kind of like making a request for such documents, at times
– but it looks like changes are very close
now. It’s important that the conference committee reconciles the recent state House of
Representatives and Senate bills in this session and pressure be placed on the governor
to sign it as soon as possible.
The current law, created in the early
1970s, is archaic and desperately needs
reworking, especially in light of new technology and the dysfunctional process by which
the media and the general public try to obtain
information denied to them. Ready access
to information is vital to maintain the public
trust that has been steadily eroded over the
years. It’s just a shame it took this long for
Massachusetts to get in line with the vast
majority of the country on these matters.
The House version of the legislation,
called “An Act to improve public records”
and the Senate version, “An Act improving the administration and enforcement of
the public records law” have much in common, including requiring each community and public agency to appoint a “records
access officer” answerable to the Secretary
of State’s office through which public records
requests are documented and processed and
the requirement of making many standard
documents such as minutes, awarded bids and
budget information available electronically.
Many municipalities and agencies already
have these documents on their websites and
sometimes, a request from the public can
simply involve a reference to the website.
One of the more controversial elements
of the language in both bills, as far as some
local officials are concerned, is the inclusion of the potential award of legal fees to
a plaintiff who appeals a denied request to
court, as well as a $1,000 to $5,000 fine if it
is determined a request was rejected illegally.
Remember, though, that such punitive damages are available on appeal, and could be
quite some time from an initial request. The
simple fact is that many legitimate public
records inquiries are abandoned for fear of
legal costs the average person cannot afford.
The community or agency personnel are not
without their own recourse, as they have the
ability to recoup time and reasonable costs
for searching and producing information
sought by the media or general public.
Probably the best part of the legislation
in both the House and the Senate, however,
is the ability of the records access officer to
work with the state to produce educational
materials which would instruct both the community and its leaders. Everyone needs to be
brought up to speed on what is and isn’t a
public document, and some boards withhold
information due to lack of knowledge. By the
same token, some requests are unnecessarily cumbersome because the inquirer didn’t
know exactly what to ask for or what was
available.
At the end of the day, people have the
right to know about how the public business
is conducted, even when it’s not pretty.

Stepping into our comfort zones
By Joan E. B. Coombs
Guest Columnist
C
ontemporary advisors often stress that
we need to “get out of our comfort
zones.”
“S-t-r-e-t-c-h beyond your surroundings!”
“Tackle uncomfortable tasks, issues,
or jobs with courage!”
However, there are times when
we all step into our comfort zones because we want to and we need to.
Whether it’s early morning, late
afternoon, or later in the evening,
when we slip into our own, unique
comfort zone – it’s consoling. Or, if
it’s before we face the day ahead, or
after school, college, or daily workloads, just the ease of getting into
our own soft space, it’s comforting.
Even toddlers experience and
enjoy familiar comfort zones. Years later, preschoolers snuggle or play in, and try-on-forsize, their parents, or older sibling’s territory.
All through school years, growing pains extend
boundaries, and new, safe, comfort zones
are sought and found. Then, some comfort zones are packed for college years.
As years pass, adults often bring comfort
zones into their homes. Decades come when
the favorite, cozy, snug fitting consoles, get
well worn and become threadbare, with only
soothing memories of what once was. Time
to fix the underfoot need, and to seek and find
the safest route.
We find that each step is renewed when
we can stand firm, and fully supported in
our own, unique comfort zone. When staying
inside within familiar areas or stepping outside into wide-open, new-horizon territories,
stability is vital for a sure-fit.
No doubts about it. The comfort zone
found in household slippers is definitely
underrated. Actually, it seems
floored.
Children of all ages enjoy the
sports, or character cushy, fleece
zones with soft linings. (Ms.
Anonymous was given white,
floppy-eared, bunny slippers one
Easter, by her preteen daughter.)
Young ladies of all ages warm up in
hand-knit snuggly-wugglys. Boys
and men may buck up to leather
or suede styles. Those who change
their mind often wear flip-flops.
While senior folks stay safe with
non-skid slippers that help prevent falls.
Jest thinking. Maybe getting out of our
comfort zone can also be when we step out of
our slippers?
But, for now, may I invite you to think
“outside the circle”? Later today, when we
slide into our comfy slippers, would we be, in
fact, stepping into our comfort zones?

cost $18 for adults and $9
for children. Tickets will
be available at the door.
Special guests will
include local pet celebrities
“Toto the Tornado Kitten”
and rescued Ludlow dog
“Jameson.” Eric Gulbrandsen
will perform music.
“The spaghetti supper
is our biggest fundraiser of
the year. We make a few
thousand dollars and that
goes towards the cats and
kittens in our care,” said
Halfway Home Cat Rescue
Inc. President Robin Fiskaa.
“Usually every year we have
at least one or two cats that
need major surgery. This
year we do have a cat that
needs an MRI (Magnetic
Resonance Imaging) and
money will go towards that.”
Fiskaa explained that
Halfway Home Cat Rescue
Inc. also utilizes funds raised
at the Annual Spaghetti
Supper to offset the general cost of veterinary bills
as well as the cost of “kitten season” in the spring, in
which the organization is
inundated with pregnant cats
and small kittens they care
for.
Halfway Home Cat
Rescue is a foster-based nonprofit organization dedicated
to cat and kitten rescue, care
and adoption, providing
services for approximately
240 cats per year. The rescue also has a partnership
with the Petco location in
Enfield, hosting adoption
clinics once a week.
Fiskaa, a Ludlow resident and teacher at Chicopee
High School, started the
organization with longtime
friend, Meghan Boulais
(serving as vice president),
a Holyoke resident. The
two operate the organization’s post office box out of
Chicopee. Fiskaa explained
that as the group has grown,
it became a logical step for
Halfway Home Cat Rescue
Inc. to officially hold the
status of a 501c3 organization this year.
Fiskaa explained that
she believes the Annual
Spaghetti Supper has grown
so much because attendees
enjoy the event and come
back every year. Halfway
Home Cat Rescue Inc. mostly relies on social media outreach to broadcast the event,
she said.
“I think people like us
and really think the event is
so much fun,” said Fiskaa.
“We have people that come
every year and actually wait
for it to come back around…
we’re always adding more
tables and chair every year.”
The rescue will sell
their merchandise at the Feb.
20 fundraiser and will also
accept donations. The organization is in the planning
stages of a March fundraising effort that will help a
rescue group they consider
a “sister organization,” in
Jamaica whom they often
work closely with in adoption and rescue efforts.
For more information,
Fiskaa can be contacted at
413-237-6271.
BUSINESS
Turley Publications is liberal with regard to its business coverage polices, but we do have some standards
folks need to understand. First, local businesses and merchants are just as much institutions in our towns as
the library and schools. Without them, there are no towns.
We will feature coverage of local businesses that are new, have a major expansion, moving, closing,
under new management or ownership, celebrating a milestone anniversary, or have been thrust into the news
realm. Merchants can request that coverage through the editor, or for our existing advertising clients, through
their ad representatives.

Upon retiring as a

a native of New Jersey,

Chicopee and has been
living in the city now for
eight years. Having been

traveling to Thailand,

always cheerful, positive
and remains in a happy
mood – no matter what.”
As a “regular,” Davis
frequents the establishment a few times a
week. On one occasion,
he inquired about Hui’s
future goals in life and he
mentioned that he would
one day like to get a car
– a silver Honda. In the
spirit of helping others, he
decided to facilitate the
process and purchase a
vehicle for him - a silver
Hyundai – which although
wasn’t exactly a Honda,
it was “close enough” –

had a few minor repair
issues, he decided to take

mardi gras
from page 1
The decorations were very
cheerful, so I think people
were into it as soon as they
got here,” said Chicopee
resident Donna Blanchard.
“It’s nice to have other
activities offered and an
opportunity to get together
with people. Not everybody likes to go out late,
so this is perfect timing. It
works well.”
The Mardi Gras party,
sponsored by the Chicopee
Council on Aging, is part of
an effort to open RiverMills
on the second Tuesday of
every month until 7:30
p.m. The center is usually
open on weekdays from 8
a.m. to 4 p.m.
“Especially for younger baby-boomers, I think
they are looking for some
later evening programming. This was our initial
foray into an evening event,
and it was scheduled for
the day of Mardi Gras, so
scheduling a band to play
was a no-brainer,” said
Council on Aging Program
Coordinator Holly Angelo.
“It went really well and I
think people will be looking forward to our future
evening events.”
Angelo explained that
from the RiverMills patrons
she has talked to, a desire
to attend evening programming is mixed. Some
seniors have expressed that
they do not like to drive in
the nighttime, while others would like the ability to
frequent the center beyond
its usual 4 p.m. close time.
The Council on Aging
is in the process of planning future evening events
at RiverMills on the second
Tuesday of every month.
The Council plans to host
a movie night in March
in conjunction with the
Chicopee Public Library.
In April, a birdhouse-painting event will be scheduled. Finite dates and times
will be announced.
“We want to serve
as many older adults as
we can,” said Angelo.
“Some people will come
here during the day and
others won’t. We want to
provide options to people.
We serve more than 200
adults every day and we’re
expanding. We’re working
on new daytime programming as well.”

Celebrating ‘Catholic Schools week’
CalculaTE
from page 1
“All children participate, kindergarten through
eighth grade and they love
it,” said St. Stanislaus
School administrator
Karen Shea. “We create a
fun atmosphere in which
to do math and we have
older children helping the
younger children.”
Shea explained that
through family pledges
and contributions, St.
Stanislaus School raises between $3,000 and
$4,000 every year for the
St. Jude Math-A-Thon. In
advance, teachers explain
to students the services St.
Jude Children’s Research
Hospital provides to children and their families.
“Our students understand cancer through
experiences with family and friends…it really
touches them when they
see pictures and information about children their
own ages. It really has an
impact on them and they
want to help,” said Shea.
Fo r t h e M a t h - A Thon, St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital provides each student with
grade-appropriate booklets of problems to solve,
developed by Scholastic.
“I love doing stuff
for St. Jude…it’s such a
great cause. I love helping other people and it’s
also great to see all of the
kids happy, wearing funny
hats. It’s just a great place
to be,” said 11-year-old
Bobby Trigilio.
Trigilio attested that
with the fun outfits and
music playing throughout the cafeteria, students
seemed to get more excited about mathematics than
ever before.
“This is fun and it
makes math more fun. I
wore this graduation hat
because no one else wore
one like this,” said first
grader Genieva Cataldo.
For more than
35 years, the St. Jude
Math-A-Thon has been
America’s largest education-based fundraiser.
“This is great for children learning the importance of helping others,
particularly kids this own
age,” said Sister Cecelia
Haier. “It’s even more
profound this year as we
teach the students about
the ‘year of mercy’ that
Pope Francis has asked
for, and this is a way to
put that into action.”
WILBRAHAM
– Cathedral High School
students celebrated the
second day of “Catholic
Schools week” by participating in a service project
recognizing the sacrifice
that veterans have given
to our country since the
American Revolution.
Students purchased personal care and fun items
recommended by the
Friends of the Holyoke
Soldiers Home to fill “care
bags” for current residents.
At the same, the students
and staff learned about
the sacrifice of four Navy
Chaplains who gave up
Harry S. Truman as “Four
Chaplains” Sunday.
All students signed
bookmarks remembering
the “Immortal Chaplains”
with personal expressions
of thanks to the residents
at the Soldiers Home. As a
result of this school-wide
effort over 175 care bags
were literally “stuffed”
with everything from the
bookmarks and playing
cards to toothbrushes and
toothpaste. Students and
teachers alike all agreed
that their efforts during
this Catholic schools week
exemplify the acts of faith
and brotherhood in action.
Cam Peritz of Palmer, Rachel Laflamme of Chicopee, and Jenny Ninh of Springfield help
celebrate “Catholic Schools week.”

Dorchester that was torpedoed by a Nazi U-Boat

chaplains and over 600
men died that night. Those
who survived later testified that the last actions
of the Chaplains were

Is Stress Making You Fat?
T
he answer is probably YES.
Stress can be what is causing
weight gain despite making
healthy dietary choices and exercising regularly. When your body is under stress, it responds by conserving
energy, leading to storing fat. It’s a
complex system involving the adrenals, pancreas, and how the body metabolizes food.
The adrenal glands control stress
and fluid balance, and help maintain
blood glucose levels. They release
the stress hormones adrenaline and
cortisol, which prepare the body for
increased energy needs and help cope
with stressors. For most people, emotional stress can also trigger an elevated cortisol ‘fight or flight’ response,
which over time might cause insulin
resistance or metabolic syndrome
(high blood sugar, blood pressure,
and cholesterol).
The pancreas releases insulin signaling the body that it’s hungry. When
we don’t eat, the circulating glucose
in the blood stream gets used up,
causing blood sugar levels to drop.
We then reach for more sugary treats.
This leads the body to release more
insulin, leading to slowed metabolism
and energy crashes and triggering
more hunger, so the cycle continues.
Meanwhile, every time sugar levels
go too low or go too high, the food
we eat goes right to storage, causing
weight gain. Being overweight is a
huge stressor to the body, causing
chronic elevation of stress hormones.
This might lead to insulin resistance,
diabetes, heart disease, depression,
memory loss, bone loss, joint deterioration, cancer, and immune diseases.
Stress happens; it is a part of everyday life. How an individual copes
with a particular stress makes the difference in how it impacts the body. It’s
important to create balance by reducing emotional stressors, being physically active, eating a balanced diet,
sleeping well, and using supplements
to support metabolism. Please contact our office if we can help on your
path to wellness. Miriam Schwartz,

Orioles,
Colts settle
for tie
By Tim Peterson
Turley Publications
Sports Correspondent
AMHERST—No lead was
safe in the second meeting of
the regular season between FayWright Division rivals Chicopee
Comp and Belchertown.
Just like in the first meeting,
which ended in a 2-2 tie, the two
hockey teams battled to a 5-5 tie
at the Mullins Center practice
rink, last Saturday night.
“For some unknown reason, we’ve struggled against
Belchertown during the past
couple of years,” said Comp
head coach Rob Spear. “We did
take the lead a couple of times
in this game tonight, but they
managed to tie the score each
time. We would love to face
them again in the playoffs.”
“They’ve never beaten us
in the three years that I’ve been
coaching the varsity team,” said
Belchertown head coach Matt
Crutch. “The players were very
excited when we scored the
tying goal in the third period,
but it definitely wasn’t our best
performance of the season. We’ll
probably see them again in the
postseason tournament.”
Both hockey teams have
already locked up a spot
in the upcoming Western
Massachusetts Division 3A
tournaments. The other teams
who should be participating
in this year’s tournament are
Amherst, Chicopee, St Mary’s
of Westfield, and Wahconah
Regional.
The Colts, who are the
d e f e n d i n g We s t e r n M a s s .
Division 3A champions, had a
10-4-3 overall record and an 83-3 league record following the
tie against Belchertown.
“ We ’r e t h e d e f e n d i n g
Western Mass. champions, so
my players know how to win the
big game,” Spear said. “Every
team that we’ve faced this season has played their best game
against us because they always
want to beat the best team. It’s a
good challenge for my guys.”
The Orioles, who havn’t
suffered a loss against the
Colts during the past five years,
entered this week’s action with
an 8-4-3 overall record and a 73-3 league record.
“We’re very happy that
we’ve qualified for the postseason tournament again,” Crutch
said. “I think every team that
qualifies for the tournament
has the chance of winning the
Western Mass. title this year.”

I
n typical Chicopee
High/Chicopee Comp
tradition, the two teams
put on a show and if anyone who had watched it was
not exhausted by the end,
they weren’t paying a lot
of attention. Chicopee won
the game 80-70. That is 150
points overall. In the second
half, 91 points were scored
in the fourth quarter alone, it
was 54 points.
Both teams came in
playing well. The Colts had
won seven in a row having
not lost since Jan. 19. The
Pacers were almost as hot
having won three in a row
and seven of eight. Both
teams are in the postseason
and are fighting for their
respective Division titles.
Chicopee has a game lead
on both Amherst and East
Longmeadow in the Valley
Wheel. Comp is two games
behind Sabis and one and
a half from Agawam in the
Suburban. There are still
head-to-heads amongst the
leaders to be played in the
next week and a half.
Comp had a big first
quarter and led by 12after
the first eight minutes. With
three minutes left in the
second, it was still an 11point game at 29-18 after a
Comp three. That would be
their last points of the half.
With 1:14 to play Chicopee
would take the lad and hold
it into the half. Over the first
three-and-a-half minutes of
the third, the game seesawed
back and forth. Comp led
with 4:50 left. Chicopee
would get the lead for good
some 20 seconds alter and

grabs. The Pacers were playing Amherst for first and sec-
ond, but it was the Hurricanes
who prevailed in this one by a
deceiving 5-1 score. Chicopee
Comp and Belchertown are also
in the picture.
The teams had met a month
earlier and the Pacers came out
on top. Chicopee came into
the week with just one loss in
league play, that coming against,
Comp three weeks ago. They
lost a 1-0 game to Belchertown
earlier in the week. Meanwhile,
Amherst had not lost since that
game against Chicopee in early
January. They had tied two, one
against Wahconah, who will be
joining these teams in the 3A
as well.
Palmer’s
Niccolo
Cardaropoli had a busy game
with several shots on goal. He
finished with a goal and an
assist, including that of the game
winner.
This game was 0-0 through
two periods. Amherst took a
1-0 lead less than a minute and
a half into the period. Chicopee
tied it with just over six minutes
to go. A minute and half later,
Amherst answered and took the
lead. With just over a minute to
play, Amherst made it 3-1 and
then they added two empty net
goals in the final 30 seconds.
It took Amherst just 1:20
into the third to take the lead.

Lady Colts, Pacers sweep Sabis and Amherst
By Nate Rosenthal
Turley Publications
Sports Correspondent
CHICOPEE - As the
basketball season comes
down to its final weeks, the
focus is on the battles for
postseason berths. Both the
Chicopee Comprehensive
and Chicopee High girls’
teams are going to see
their seasons extended. In
the past week, they each
played against two teams
that are not playoff-bound,
Sabis and Amherst.
The Colts had actually clinched their spot in
the previous week with
a win over Pittsfield.
They entered the week
with a half-game lead
over Belchertown in the
Suburban Division. With
their wins over Sabis, 6533 and over Amherst, 6243, they improved to 5-0 in
the league. Belchertown,
with a win over Sabis is
now a full a game behind
at 4-1. They each have
three Suburban games left,
two of which are against
each other. In addition to
playing for league supremacy, the Colts at 12-4 can
gain a bye with a strong
Chicopee
Register
finish and a high seed.
These two games with
Belchertown mean a lot.
Meanwhile the Pacers
are right there as well.
They beat Sabis, 33-32
and Amherst, 49-32 and
sit just one game behind
Belchertown in Suburban
play. The Amherst win,
their 10th, put them in
them into the tournament.
They have three league
games left, two of which
are against Sabis and
Amherst. A week ago, they
split with Belchertown in
back to back games.
Chicopee and Comp
have a head to head this
week and Belchertown has
a game with Amherst to
play, so this three-way battle is far from over. Stay
tuned.
The Colts’ game with
Sabis was not expected to
be close and through the
first quarter, it seemed
clear that Comp was clearly the better team. They
led 16-2 after the first
eight minutes and did not
allow a field goal in that
time.
Thirty-five seconds
was all Comp needed to
gain a lead, and they would
not relinquish it. Ashley
Rouleau hit a three. She
made two free throws 40
seconds later and then hit
a jumper 30 seconds after
that. Almost two minutes
had passed and it was
Rouleau eight and Sabis
nothing. A minute passed
and then the Bulldogs got
their first point on a free
throw. Over the next two
and half minutes, Comp
scored six, including a
three by Selenya Gonzalez
and with 2:30 to play, they
led 14-1. Sabis got a second free throw with two
minutes left and Arriana
Hasiuk made a basket with
seven seconds remaining
for the 16-2 first quarter
score.
The biggest difference
in the game came in twopoint field goal shooting,
with Comp holding a 24-6
edge in field goals made.
That was a 36-point difference. Sabis actually made
four more free throws and
the teams were even in
threes.
Rouleau led all scorers with 19 points, getting
eight of those points in the
first two minutes of the
game. Hasiuk, who had
some key baskets in the
first half finished with 12
on the night and Gonzalez
scored 11 to round off the
Colts in double figures.
The Colts followed
that game with a convincing win over Amherst,
62-43. This one was over
early, as the Colts jumped
to a 22-7 lead after one. By
halftime, they led by 22
and after three, it was 5121, a 30-point difference.
The Hurricanes cut into the
margin in the final frame
for the 19-point final difference. Rouleau scored 24
points for Chicopee Comp.
Chicopee’s win over
Sabis, 33-32, came down
to the end as Madison
Gutierrez scored on a
layup with four seconds to
play.
Chicopee clinched
its postseason berth with
a 49-32 in over Amherst.
It was a one-point Pacer
lead after one, but then
an 18-7 second left it at
25-13 at the break. They
held the Hurricanes at
arm’s length for the rest
of the game. Kayla Calaf,
19, Ayanna Meadows, 14
and Gutierrez, 11 were the
double figure scorers.
C h i c o p e e H i g h ’s
Rudy Hernandez was the
runner up at 120-pounds,
losing to Central’s Mathew
Garcia. Also falling short
was Rey Dishmey, who
lost by decision 5-0 in the
160-pound final.
Ludlow’s Cesar Alvan
lost in the 132-pound
final by a 17-3 decision.
His teammate, Dominic
Coelho lost 8-2 in the
138-pound final. Brandon
Macznik fell 11-8 in the
182-pound final against
Putnam’s Taha Huggins.
At 220 pounds, Joel
Rodriguez took the runner-up spot with a 5-2 loss
against Central’s Ryan
Pinkham.
Host Central had six
individual champions.
Wrestlers who finished in the top six in their
respective weight classes
qualified for the Division
1 State Championship
meet scheduled for Feb.
19 and 20 at Brockton
High School.

they had a six-point lead
after three. Early in the
fourth, the Pacers led by
eight and Comp got it
back to four, but that was
as close as it would be,
as the Pacers held them
at arms’ length the rest of
the way.
Chevon Cote got the
Pacers a 2-0 lead thirty seconds in and Milan
Harrison made it 4-0
twenty seconds after that.
Ed Popovichenko gut it
back to one as the clock
passed the first minute

Velasquez jumper gave
the Colts a 9-6 lead that
went back to one on a Jake
Midura jumper. Velasquez
three made it 12-8. Perez
answered a Midura basket with a three and now
Comp led 15-10. A free
throw by Duane Miller and
a three by Perez made it a
nine-point game. Midura
broke the seven point run
with a basket at 1:28.
Kenny Mendez scored
with 40 seconds and
Velasquez hit a three with
four seconds on the clock.
It was 24-12 after one.
With 1:14 left in the
second quarter, Harrison
gave Chicopee a 30-29
lead with a three. The half
ended that way.
With 1:11 left in the
third, Chicopee led 51-39,
having scored 13 straight
points. Perez was then
fouled shooting a three
and he made all three
foul shots to get it back to
eight. With 5 seconds left,
Lebel hit a 3 and Comp
had cut a 12-point deficit
in half in just a minute.
Midura scored 55 seconds in and his two pointer was answered by a three
from Lebel. With 6;28 to
go, the score was 53-48.
Cote made two free throws
and Perez responded with
a three-point plat. Comp
had closed to four at 55-51
with six minutes still left.
A minute later, Chicopee
had scored six and led by
ten. This is how the final
five minutes would go.
Comp got as close as nine
points on several occasions and Chicopee would
get it up to 13. Perez hit a
three at the buzzer for the
80-70 final.
Midura led all scorers with 26 points. Perez
was next with 21 and he
led the Colts. Harrison had
20 for Chicopee, followed
by Velasquez at 19. Cote
scored 16 for the Pacers and
Lebel had 11 for the double
figure scorers. Rounding
out the Pacers were: Nunez
with eight, Zamboni with
five, two each from DeSean
Goodman and Goodreault.
Isaiah Jackson had one.
The rest of Comp was
Popovichenko at nine,
Carey with six; Mendez
and Bailey Bleau with two
each.
Said Chicopee coach
Steve Menard,”It is always
big to beat Comp.”
Earlier in the week,
the Colts beat Sabis, 6561. They are 12-5 overall
and 7-3 in the Suburban.
Chicopee beat Westside
57-48, Northampton, 6660 and with the win over
Comp, they are 14-3 with
a 6-1 record in the Valley
Wheel.
stopped in the seventh minute and it remained 1-0.
With 6:08 to play,
Baker tied it from eight
feet. McDonough and
Riley Clark had the assists
for Chicopee. Amherst
got the puck right back
in the zone and after a
Cardaropoli ten footer went
wide right. Masteralaxis
scored six seconds later.
Cardaropoli got the
assist. The time was 4:29.
Chicopee almost tied it at
4:00, but Bowser stopped
McDonough’s 10 footer.
The Pacers had another
chance when they went on
the power play with 3:05
left. Geoffroy and Baker
had shots that went wide.
With 1:13 to play,
Balderston sent an 18
footer past Santos for a
3-1 lead. Thirty-five seconds later, he scored from
50 feet into an empty
net. O’Leary also had an
empty netter with 15 seconds remaining.
The Hurricanes with
a 10-5 edge in third period
shots made it 21-15 for the
game, but the contest was
much closer than that.
The Hurricanes are
12-1-1 in league and with
a win over Easthampton,
they can clinch the FayWright and likely the top
spot in the 3A.

from page 12
The two offensive
stars of the game were
Comp senior Cam Kagan
and Belchertown senior
Dylan Gillen.
Kagan, who’s an outstanding three-sport athlete, posted his fifth hattrick in his final regular
season game against the
Orioles. He has scored a
total of 27 goals so far this
season, which puts him
three behind senior Jeremy
Lewis, who leads the team
with 30 goals.
“Cam Kagen is just a
very special athlete,” Spear
said. “He’s just a once in a
lifetime high school hockey player.”
Gillen, who leads the
Orioles with 16 goals,
recorded his first hat-trick
in a varsity hockey game.
He had scored two goals
in four games this season.
“Dylan has scored a
lot of our goals this season, along with (senior)
Ben Margarian,” Crutch
said. “Dylan played a very
good game tonight.”
Margarian, who was
held without a goal against
the Colts, has scored a
total of 12 goals in the
Orioles 15 games.
Gillen scored his first
goal at the 6:18 mark of
the opening period on a
wrist shot, which was
assisted by Margarian.
The Orioles took a 20 lead less than three minutes later on another goal
by Gillen. Senior Jordan
Henault was credited with
the assist.
Less than a minute
into the second period,
a goal by Kagan, which
was assisted by sophomore Garrett Riopelli and
Lewis, cut the Colts deficit in half.
A couple of minutes later, Riopelli scored
his 17th goal of the season tying the score at 22. That goal was assisted
by Lewis and Kagan, who
also scored the go-head
goal with 7:18 remaining
in the period.
Comp didn’t keep
the lead for very long,
as Belchertown senior
Christian Assimus tied the
score for the second time
by blasting a slap shot
from the blue line at the
9:07 mark.
The Colts entered
the final period holding a
4-3 advantage, as Kagan
scored his third goal of
the contest, which was
assisted by junior Dexter
Labonte and Lewis.
Three minutes into the
final period, Gillen scored
his milestone goal, which
was assisted by junior
Cam Cass and Margarian,
tying the score at 4-4.
Comp re-took the lead
again following a goal by
senior Brandon Pavoni at
the 3:48 mark.
Belchertown senior
Kyle Mikulski scored the
tying goal 2:00 later.
Comp freshman goalkeeper Kyle Vezina and
Belchertown junior goalie
Kyle Greene didn’t allow
anymore goals during the
final 10:00 of the match.
If the two rivals do
face each other again in
the postseason tournament, there will have to
be a winning team and a
losing team unlike the two
regular season matches.

O
ur community businesses have
been the heartbeat of Main Street
America for generations. And,
when asked to name a favorite restaurant,
service, or shop - you’re sure to cite a
unique local business.
Embracing the idea of community businesses that provide personalized service
is key, but we often overlook that their
survival depends on our patronage.
Consider that the next time you head out
to make a purchase. Remind yourself of
the quality experience of shopping local
and how your community benefits.
Remind yourself Main Street is the heartbeat and those businesses are essential to
our local economy.
Think outside of the big box –
support community businesses.
