Audit reveals
accumulating
budget deficits

By Walter Hamilton
Correspondent
GRANBY – A report by the
town auditor to the Select Board
on Monday revealed an accumulating deficit now totaling
$358,781 in several accounts in
the town’s public school budgets
over the last six or seven years.
The bottom line: the deficits
will not affect town or school
operations, but at some point
the money will have to be raised
by using free cash, stabilization
money or a new appropriation,
according to Town Administrator
Chris Martin.
In his annual report on the
state of finances ending on June
30, 2015, Town Auditor Tom
Scanlon cited ongoing deficits in
the school lunch, special education and school choice accounts
that have accumulated since
2008. He also noted differences
between the town’s general ledger, maintained by Martin in his
position of Town Accountant and
the School Department’s business
office accounting maintained by
the private consulting firm The
Management Solution.

BELCHERTOWN – Staying
properly hydrated can be a challenging task. Adding the extreme
heat conditions of summer can

BELCHERTOWN – Jennifer
Champagne, the principal of
Granby’s East Meadow School,
has been named the new principal of Chestnut Hill Community
School.
“She is an experienced administrator and she has a wonderful
personality that connects with parents and students and teachers,”
said Shawn Fortin, Belchertown’s
director of teaching and learning.
Fortin said Champagne
was selected after an exhaustive search and vetting process.
A total of 33 applications were

older adults. She said, “You are
not just what you eat, but what
you drink. Literally, water composes more than half of one’s total
body weight.”
During “Fluid for Thought”
Shea showed a slideshow touching on 13 points of why staying
hydrated is important. The talking points ranged from digestion
to healthy skin to keeping vital
organs functioning properly. She
told attendees that dehydration
can cause other serious healthrelated problems.

Concerts on
the Common
kick off tonight
[email protected]
BELCHERTOWN – What
started out as an idea 30 years
ago, has turned into one of the
biggest summer traditions in
Belchertown. Returning once
again to the Town Common for
a series of concerts this summer will be the Belchertown
Community Band.
Melissa Hurst, Belchertown
Community Band president, said
the organization was founded in
the spring of 1986 by returning
town native Chris Harper. The
band has been under the direction
of Michael Bauer since its inception. And the group has grown to
an impressive number.
“We have grown from a band
of just over a dozen in the early
years to an annual membership
around 90,” said Hurst.

opportunity to learn how to
read, or if they do know how
to read, their community
cannot afford a library where
the skill of reading can be
practiced. However, the
community of Belchertown
is blessed to have a beautiful
library, and I think it’s really
important to take advantage
of this wonderful resource
and help encourage people
to read.

What is your favorite
thing about being a Junior
Volunteer?
My favorite thing about
being a JV is the environment
at the library. It’s very peaceful, and the staff is awesome.

Junior Volunteer
What is your favorite
memory about being at the
library?
My favorite memory
about being at the library
is when I was leaving the
library one night and one
of the staff thanked me for
helping out. She said I really
helped make a difference
at the library, and that felt
really good.

throughout the summer The Sentinel

The Junior Volunteers provide important

N
icole Layzer, 16, of Belchertown,
will be a junior at Belchertown

Why did you decide to become a

I decided to become a JV because I
want to give back to my town. I also wanted to be a JV because there are many

Who would be the first
person you called or text
if you had good news to
share? Why?
If I had good news to
share, the first person I’d call
or text would be my mom.
She’s super supportive of
me, and I can count on her
to share my excitement and
happiness when good things
happen for me.
Say it’s the weekend,
what are you up to?
On a typical weekend,
you’d definitely catch me
at a yoga class. I also have
a job cleaning a hair salon.
Besides that, I might hang
out with a friend or spend
time doing my own thing,
like listening to music, reading, or doing art.
2. The second thing
I’d want is my journal. If
I’m going to be stuck on
an island, I might as well
record the experience!
3. Then I would want a
pen. How else would I
write about my adventure
of sorts?
What’s the oldest piece
of clothing you own? Why
do you still have it?
The oldest piece of clothing I own is the dress I wore
as a flower girl at my aunt’s
wedding. I was around 5
years old, so that dress has
been around for a while now.
Honestly, I’m not sure why
I still have it, but maybe I
could pass it on to my little
sister (she’s 4!) for a special
occasion.
What flavor ice cream
would you be caught
ordering? Small or large?
Sprinklers or not?
My go-to ice cream is a
small cup of cookie dough.
Skip the sprinkles, please!
What do you want to be
when you “grow up”?
This is the big question!
With only two years of high
school left, I am constantly
asked what my ideas for a
career are. Currently, I am
most interested in mental
health work, but as long as
I do something that makes a
difference in the lives of others and makes me happy, then
that’s what really matters.
If you were stranded on
an island, what THREE
things would you want
with you? Why?
1. The first thing I’d want
with me if I were stranded
on an island is a box of
matches to stay warm and
cook whatever food I could
scrounge up.
Would you recommend
the Junior Volunteer program to a friend? Why?
Yes, I would recommend
the JV program to a friend.
It makes you feel good to be
an active, helpful member
in the community, and it’s
a lovely environment at the
library.

BELCHERTOWN – Sunday, Aug. 14 the Belchertown
Lions Club will be holding its 36th annual Memorial
Tournament at Cold Spring County Club.
This year the Belchertown Lions Club will be honoring
two members that the club has recently lost, Thomas E.
Sullivan and Robert J. Henrichon.
Sullivan was a member of the Belchertown Club since
1994. He served as club president, District 33Y Vice District
Governor and was elected District 33Y District Governor in
2014. Unfortunately, Sullivan was unable to serve his full
term as District Governor due to his untimely death. Sullivan
was actively involved with the District 33Y Eyemobile. He
was awarded the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award, one of the
highest honors a Club can bestow upon a Lion.
Henrichon was an active member of the Belchertown club
for over 48 years. He served as president and was a familiar
face and voice at the turkey shoots, Belchertown Fair Lions
Food Wagon, Super Raffle and other Lion sponsored events.
Henrichon was a recipient the Lifetime Member Award and
the Progressive Melvin Jones Fellowship, the highest honor
a club can bestow upon a Lion.
Both Sullivan and Henrichon were avid golfers. They
always participated in the tournament and were often on golf
trips with their other friends together, traveling to Florida and
Cape Cod annually.
The proceeds from the tournament are used to support the
many charities associated with the Lions Club. These include
sight, hearing and diabetes awareness. The Belchertown
Lions Club also awards scholarships to deserving seniors at
Belchertown High School and Pathfinder.
The tournament will have a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m.,
with registration at 7:30 a.m. with coffee and pastries. Entry
fees are $80 for members of Cold Spring Country Club and
$100 for non-members. The entry fee includes green fees,

up sheets are posted at Cold Spring Country Club or contact

Residents will
ride in Pan-Mass
Challenge
NEEDHAM – Seven residents from
Belchertown will participate in the largest single athletic fundraising event in the
country - the Pan-Mass Challenge, Aug. 6
and 7. They will be among 6,500 cyclists
who will ride with the collective goal of
raising $46 million to support adult and
pediatric patient care and cancer research
at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through
the Jimmy Fund.
Cyclists from Belchertown include
Aaron Oldenburg, Brian Rutter, Brian
Anderson, Chistopher Cichaski, Jeffrey
Choinki, Jennifer Gordon and Jon
Pobieglo.
During PMC weekend, individual
cyclists unite to become one extended
family. The camaraderie shared by thousands of cyclists, spectators and volunteers, is one reason cyclists from more
than 40 states and seven countries will
return to Massachusetts this August to
participate in the PMC, choosing from 12
routes of varying mileage that run through
46 towns.
These cyclists, who are anywhere
between 13 and 84 years old, range from
seasoned triathletes, to weekend warriors
who trained for this event alone and everything in between. Many riders participate
in the PMC to honor a family member or
friend lost to, or being treated for, cancer. The average cyclist trains for three
months, solicits 40 sponsors and raises
more than $8,000. Doctors ride alongside
their patients; grandparents ride with their
grandchildren; and others show support
from the sidelines in the form of donations
and well wishes. More than 600 riders and
volunteers are cancer survivors or current
patients, considered “Living Proof” of the
PMC mission to find a cure.
“Each year, the PMC is proud to welcome riders and volunteers with unique
backgrounds and experiences, from all
over the country and all over the world,
into our family. This is what makes ride
weekend such an impactful and inspiring event,” said Billy Starr, founder and

Beat the heat
A
fter a year where we’ve feasted on mild weather
— a warm winter, few spring storms, and a
mostly comfortable start to summer — it’s time
to get cooking.
The heat is on, you might say.
Temperatures finally reached the 90s for consecutive
days in the month of July, and it looks like we may end
up in a heat wave — three consecutive days over 90
— sometime this week or next. That means it’s time to
think seriously about how you’ll cope when uncomfortable climate turns to dangerous conditions.
First, remember that not everyone is affected the same
way. Seniors, children and pets deserve special attention
in hot and sunny weather. Check on your elderly relatives and neighbors during a heat wave. Keep a close eye
on the youngsters and animals in your care. It should go
without saying that a parked car, even with the windows
“cracked open” or the fan blowing, is no place for a
child or a pet. But also remember that they should spend
less time playing outside in the hot summer sun than
they would on a 70-degree partly cloudy day in April.
Call them inside for a drink of water.
We should all drink plenty of water. The advertising
companies would like us to think that the classic summer quaff is lemonade, cola, iced tea or ice-cold beer,
but it’s water, not sugar or alcohol, that your body really
needs to stay healthy.
Just like what was taught in a program late last week
at the Council on Aging in Belchertown called Fluid
for Thought – water is the best way to hydrate. Without
proper hydration your body’s functions can be severely
affected. Try sprucing up the taste of your water with
different infusers. Whether it be from a caffeine free
tea bag, essential oils or even fresh fruit added to your
water, it offers a slight twist to the – sometimes boring
– beverage.
One organ we often overlook in the heat is our skin
– the body’s largest organ. Be smart about when you go
out. The sun’s ultraviolet rays cause the most damage,
and the heat hits us the hardest, between 10 a.m. and
4 p.m. If you can, mow the lawn, or play catch, or go
for that bike ride around dawn or dusk, when it’s cooler
and safer for your skin. If you must spend an extended
amount of time outdoors, wear sunscreen of at least SPF
15. Find shelter from the sun beneath a tree, awning or
the shadow of a building.
If you have air conditioning in your home or office,
that’s one way to beat the heat indoors. But who wants
to stay inside all summer? And running the A.C. at full
blast all day costs big money — money you’d surely
rather spend on new swimsuits or grilling meats or baseball tickets.
Invest in a programmable thermostat that runs the
air conditioning only when you need it — when people
are in the house, and temperatures are at their highest. Consider sleeping with the windows open (and air
conditioning off) on cool summer nights. Keep doors
and windows closed when the air conditioning is on,
and close the drapes to keep sunlight out during the day.
Heat rises, so plan to spend the hottest times of the day
on the first floor or in the basement.
Stay safe this summer, and save some money, too.
After all, you may wish to spend the cash in the winter
— plane tickets, perhaps, to somewhere a little warmer?
Do you have other ways to “beat the heat?” Share
them with us and send a letter to [email protected].
Time, Precious Time
It’s
Time to breath the sweet summer air!
Time to hear the breeze rustle the new
leafed trees!
Time to welcome the return of the birds!
Time to quiet a hungry child’s cry!
Time to dry another’s tears!
Time to bind old Dad’s and Mom’s
failings!
Time to fill the stranger’s need!
Time to shorten another’s journey!
Time to temper on our way of thinking!
Time to unite with all in reason!
Time to turn the other cheek!
Time to hope is what will be!
Time to listen to the music within us all!
If not – what good is time?
Oh, precious time!

Veterans Memorial
moves closer to
ground breaking
[email protected]
GRANBY – The planning board
last week voted unanimously to allow
a sign to remain in place announcing the site of the future home of the
Granby Veterans Memorial.
The hearing, which was held
Monday, July 11 at the old library,
produced a large crowd and in the
end a special permit for the sign. The
special permit allows the sign at the
corners of State and North streets to
remain – as is – for one year.
Mike Pandora, president of the
Friends of Granby Veterans, said the
group would likely not even need
the one-year timeline, as a groundbreaking is imminent for late fall.
According to Pandora $35,000 of
state funds was approved by the gov-
ernor for the project. Pandora said this
money will allow work on the memorial to begin.
“This memorial needs to be in the
center of town and be the daily focus
that reminds us each and every day
that freedom is not free. We understand that we need to protect our history,” wrote Pandora. “The Granby
Veterans Memorial is all about protecting our history and honoring it,
dating all the way back to the civil
war.”
Pandora explained, the Friends of
Granby Veterans committed to the
Parks and Rec Ad hoc Committee to
raise the funds to develop the rest of
the property around the memorial into
a park setting, which, according to
Pandora, was the original intent of
the property when it was gifted to the
town back in 1968.
As for the sign in question, Pandora
said the group took into consideration the Village Center District when
designing it.

school and by being taught by the courses
regular teachers and instructors.
“It’s a really amazing program that
we’ve been fortunate to be able to offer
to these kids and this year our numbers
for enrollment are higher than ever,” said
Youth Enrichment Program Coordinator
and Pathfinder Automotive Instructor Paul
Bouthiller.
Last year because of the much-needed
renovations to the school’s roof Bouthiller
says that they were unable to host the program due to safety concerns.
Returning this year the instructors said
that they were eager to get started and
already had a waitlist of students looking
forward to attending even before the officials forms for enrollment were sent out in
the regional school’s affiliated towns.
Area sourses include Automotive where
students get to perform basic car repair,
replacing breaks, changing oil, and mounting tires; Bake Shop and Culinary utilizing Pathfinder’s kitchen, Carpentry and
Woodworking, Creative Arts, Environmental
Exploration, where students go on daily
field trips to places such as the Worcester
Ecotarium, the Connecticut Science Center,
and the Titanic Museum; Electronics and
Robots, Photography and Web Design,
Machining, and Rocket Science.
This year the program has drawn in more
than 65 students who are taking part each
of the 3 weeks with roughly 20 percent of
the students returning to join a new program
area for each week-long period.
“I love it,” said 13-year-old Jocob
Fritscher of Ware who was enrolled in the
Carpentry program at present, learning about
many of the important tools and machinery involved in the woodworking, and says
that he plans to attend all three sessions
taking both automotive and Environmental
Exploration as well.
“I think that it’s important to have things
like this available to us (students) in order to
keep yourself active and to have fun instead
of just sitting around and being lazy in the
summer,” said Fritscher. “I want to come
here for high school too hopefully and It’s
really great to be able to see the school and
some of the shops before I actually start
too.”
Students who are enrolled spend their
mornings learning in their respective programs before a lunch period with meals
provided to them. During the afternoons the
students take part in group sports and also
have the option of various craft and other
game activities.

Belchertown ads a splash of pink

Skyler Park, 10, of Belchertown puts the finishing touches on her painted
acrylic landscape in the Creative Arts Course offered during the school’s annual
Summer Youth Enrichment program.
Along with being a memorable experience for the students it is also a special
opportunity for the course instructors as
well.
“I think that what surprises the teachers
the most about a lot of these kids is there
attentiveness to the lessons,” said Bouthiller.
‘There so use to teaching High School students and when they have to shift gears
and teach younger kids I think there’s this
expectation that they will be more difficult
when really they’re all really focused on
what they’re learning and are noticeably
excited about a lot of it.”
“They really are a hard working group
of kids,” said Pathfinder Special Education
Teacher and Summer Program Art Instructor
Holland Hoagland. “They’ve been excellent.
It’s amazing that in just five days we were
able to complete three separate projects.”
Students involved in the creative arts
course spent their mornings working on self
portraits, creating landscapes with acrylic
paint, and using metal framework and clay
to mold sculptures.
Downstairs the smell of freshly baked
apple pie is apparent from outside of the
school kitchen as members of the bake class
put the finishing touches to them while culinary students make homemade macaroni
and cheese on the other side of the kitchen.
Bothiller says that in addition to the
enrolled students Pathfinder also hires several of their current High School students to

“We take all students in these programs
including those with special needs,” said
Bouthiller. “We’ve been fortunate in that
we’ve never had to turn away a student who
is interested in participating nor have we
ever had to send a student home.”
Outside on the sports fields, students
in the program’s newest addition, Rocket
Science, eagerly set up an electronic launch
pad and ignition system for their hand-crafted rockets which were made not out of kits
but from basic materials such as cardboard
paper-towel tubes for the rocket’s body and
nose cones made from plastic Easter eggs.
One by one the students launched their
rockets, each painted or featuring different
colored tape and designs.
Richie Gola (10) of Three Rivers personalized his rocket further strapping two
Lego figurines to each side of the nosecone
before launch.
“I think it’s really fun being able to do
stuff like this,” said Gola. “It’s probably
the most creative thing I’ve gotten to do in
a while!”

Champagne “has a working
knowledge of how to implement
things,” Fortin said. Having been
a teacher as well as an administrator, Champagne understands the
strategic goals of curriculum and
professional development and has
the knowledge of how the strategies can be implemented and utilized in the classroom, he said.
She has been the principal of
East Meadow School for the last
three years and was a teacher
there since 2000, having taught
special education, sixth and most
recently fifth grade.
One reason she applied for the
CHCS job, Champagne said, is
that it has fourth through sixth
“I really like this age group,”
she said, and she had heard good
things about Belchertown and its
school system.
During her interviews
Champagne said she felt a connection with the people of CHCS,
and that caused her to take the
position when it was offered.
“It seems like a close knit group
of folks. There is a great sense of
community,” Champagne said. “It
felt like it was meant to be.”
She comes into the job with no
preconceived notions about changes that should be made at CHCS,
said Champagne. Her initial task,
she said, will be to learn about the
school, staff and students, who
they are, what they do and how
they got there, “and then help to
grow the school from there.”

VETERANS SIGN | from Page 7
“That is why the background and frame are white. The
remaining colors are mostly red, white and blue, the same
as our flag. The logos depict the very soldiers that we have
a duty to honor. The lighting used, is low wattage solar
spotlights to enhance the face of the sign. The area around
it, along with the boulder containing the Aldrich family
plaque, was cleaned up and landscaped,” wrote Pandora.
The memorial wall will house the plaques of the various
conflicts that display the names of Granby’s veterans. The
Friends of Granby Veterans Memorial group has raised
$100,000 of the $200,000 needed to construct the wall, and
of the remaining needed, approximately $75,000 of in-kind
services has been promised.
There have been some efforts to delay, move and even
stop the project from moving forward. To that, Pandora
said, “Above all else, we need to stop attempting to impede
the process of honoring our veterans and building a memorial in their honor. They deserve it and more. Instead of
fighting against this project, why not put the effort into
simply stopping a veteran in public and thank them for
their service.”

CONCERTS | from Page 1
The Community Band is one like no other, bringing all
generations together for one reason – to play music. And
like the title of the group says, it has also become a community in itself.
“I think the thing that makes us so special is the sense
of community each summer. The membership really is
a family and we enjoy coming together each year,” said
Hurst. “The community atmosphere at the concerts is so
special as well.”
The Belchertown Community Band is gearing up for
its annual concert series, with the first concert being held
tonight – Thursday, July 21 at 7 p.m. The concerts will
be performed on three following Thursday evenings: July
28, Aug. 4 and Aug. 11 at the same time. In case of rain,
the concerts will be held in the Belchertown High School
auditorium.
The band features local musicians playing a variety of music styles. Members hail from Belchertown,
Agawam, Amherst, Chicopee, Granby, Ludlow, Monson,
Northampton, Palmer, Pelham, Shutesbury, Springfield and
Ware. Hurst said community band is “one of the few activities that 12-year-olds and 80-year-olds can do together.”
“The concerts on the common are a free, family-friendly
activity for all,” said Hurst. “It is the perfect opportunity
to come together, have a picnic supper or visit the Knights
of Columbus concession stand, and relax. We play music
that is fun and accessible to all in the audience.”
Among the mix are show tunes, the Beatles, opera,
Sousa marches, and more. “A little bit for everyone! I
love watching the Belchertown Twirlers perform as the
band plays Stars and Stripes Forever and see the little kids
march and dance around,” said Hurst.
While membership this year is a little too late, Hurst
said musicians are welcome to join them for the 2017 season. Keep up to date with news and events by following
them on Facebook.
This year the Belchertown Community Band is proud
to be participating in the Enfield Bi-Centennial Saturday,
Aug. 13. It is commemorating the 200th anniversary
of the town of Enfield that was lost to form Quabbin
Reservoir. The Department of Conservation and Recreation
and the Bicentennial Committee are planning a full day of
fun at Hank's Meadow at Quabbin. The band will perform
at 4 p.m. that afternoon.

ABOVE: Susan Shea talks about how to
jazz up water by adding some flavor.
LEFT: Older adults sampled several flavors of water during “Fluid for Thought.”
FLUID | from Page 1
Shea offered suggestions on how
to stay hydrated such as consuming
foods that have water content, but
said nothing replaces simply drinking
water.
“Water doesn’t get as much attention as green teas and smoothies,” she
said, adding that it is still the best way
to stay hydrated.
She told the group of older adults at
the event, “If you don’t like the taste
of water, trying adding some flavor.”
Shea offered samples of flavored
water to the group ranging from
lemon to raspberry to peach, and
many more. She explained that she
made the flavored water using tea
bags. She took three tea bags, added
hot water to a large pitcher and let the
tea sit and fuse for some time. She
then squeezed the tea bags out, let the
water cool and added some ice.
The final product was a pitcher of
iced tea/flavored water – caffeine free.
She also suggested adding essential
oils to water – of course choosing oils
that are safe to consume.
Shea said, by making a pitcher
ahead of time to keep in the fridge
it is ready to go and will be more
accessible when it’s time for a drink.
It replaces reaching for a fruit drink
or soda.
Ann Genero, who at 90 knows the
importance of properly balancing
fluid intake, said she found the talk
very interesting.
“I thought I was drinking enough,
but I found out today some things that
I didn’t know,” said Genero. “I didn’t
realize how much we need water for
the functions in our body.”
Genero, who admittedly doesn’t
not like the taste of water, said she
was glad to taste some of the flavored
waters Shea had made.
“Some of the tea mixes were very
good and easy to make,” said Genero.
“I think I might try it at home.”

[email protected]
BELCHERTOWN – Music is often
used to express a range of emotions,

community it is also a way to offer up
worship to God.

– Robin Mark.
The worship concert will take place
at the church, located at 1255 Federal
St. in Belchertown, and will begin at 7

BUDGET DEFICITS | from Page 1
Select Board meeting, acknowledged that
the school lunch program has operated at
a deficit, leading to a shortfall of $129,592
since 2008. Scanlon remarked that school
lunch programs that do not run deficits are
“very rare.”
The special education “circuit breaker” account was found to have a deficit
of $118,836, mitigated only by a transfer
of surpluses totaling $279,000 from the
2011 to 2015 special education accounts.
Otherwise, the “circuit breaker” account,
funded by the state for extraordinary special education costs, would have fallen
short by $333,733 over those years.
The School Choice account was overdrawn by a total $112,293 over those years.
Evren said he could not understand the
shortfall, given the schools always attract
more students from other towns than Granby
sends to schools outside the district.
“The School Department thought they
had the funds – money available to spend
… We don’t see them (deficits) as they
come up,” Evren said. “How do you see
this?”
Scanlon said the School Department
should get regular reports on its accounts.
Martin said he sends monthly reports on
the status of all the school accounts to the
schools’ business department.
The deficits reduce the amount of “free
cash,” or unspent money from fiscal years
that end each June 30, and that amount is
certified by the state each year in late fall.
Each year, the state excludes the amount of
the deficits from the “free cash” amount,
prohibiting the town from spending it.
Eventually, the money must somehow be
raised by the town to satisfy state requirements, Martin said.
In other business, the Select Board:
– Reappointed Robert Cannon, of 67
Cold Hill and Scott Wilson, of 74 Burnett
St. to the town Finance Committee. Cannon
holds an MBA and a law degree and teaches law in the UMass system. Wilson is an
accountant for a Springfield firm, according to Finance Committee Chairman John
Libera.
– Appointed Jay Joyce, William
Shaheen, Marie McCourt, David Ladue
and Mark Vincelette to the Granby Energy
Committee;
– Postponed granting a Class I new car
sales license to Yankee Glass, 39 West State
St., on the advice of Town Council Edward
Ryan, pending approval of a special permit
by the Planning Board.

Goodwin-Boyd’s triple gets Peoples past St. Joe’s
By Gregory A. Scibelli

Turley Publications photos by David Henry www.sweetdogphotos.com
Ryan Franczek extends to catch the ball at second base.
PALMER – The rivalry has
always been rich between TriCounty Baseball League rivals St.
Joe’s and PeoplesBank.
For the second time this season,
the two teams got together. The
difference between this matchup and the last was the 17 runs
scored between the two teams as
opposed to five. PeoplesBank was
able to shut down St. Joe’s offensive after the fourth inning, and
rode their own explosive offense
to an 11-6 win last Wednesday
night in Palmer.
St. Joe’s started out by getting three runs in the first inning
off starter Joe Popielarczyk. It
countered the one run scored by
Tommy Bouvier in the top of the
first and St. Joe’s led 3-1.
The bottom of the order got the
other two runs back in the top of
the second for Peoples as Pete
Hogan started out the inning with
a single and Sam Allen socked a
two-run home run to make it 3-3.
Joe Ferry would double, but
Peoples would not be able to score
after that.
In the third inning Dave
Clark started with a single, and
moved up on a wild pitch. Zach
Goodwin-Boyd would single, and
Ray Rivera hit an RBI double.
Allen would also get a hit driving
in two more runs.
St. Joe’s countered those three
runs with two in the bottom of the
third and one in the fourth.
After that, there was no scoring
and the two teams remained knotted in a 6-6 tie heading into extra
innings.
Popielarczyk was chased after
just 3 2-3 innings, an unusually
short outing for the league veteran. He was relieved by Seth Allen

Belchertown cruises to state sectional Belchertown finishes

BELCHERTOWN - One day
after losing 4-3 at Auburn, which
evened the Intermediate state
sectionals best-of-three series at
1-1, Belchertown coasted into the
state finals with a 14-4 victory
at Hodgen Major Diamond, last
Wednesday night.
“We never get down on ourselves and we bounced back
very well after losing yesterday’s
game,” said Belchertown catcher
Chris Ingram, who’s older brother, Jonathan was also a catcher
for the varsity baseball team at
Belchertown High School during the past couple of years. “We
play hard all of the time no matter what the score of the game
might be or who we might be
playing against.”
The other members of the
B e l c h e r t ow n I n t e r m e d i a t e
baseball team, which posted a
16-2 home win against Auburn
in game one of the series, are:
Brady Dulude, Tyler Laramee,
Austin Endelos, Max Wojick,
Jack Gelinas, Graham Perlak,
Zack Jenks, Mike Bode, Matt
Bode, Colby Masse, Owen
Raines, and Ryan Zawistowski.
Tim Mitus was also a member of
the Intermediate team during the
regular season, but he didn’t play
in any of the postseason games.
The trio of Ingram, Raines,
Wojick, were a combined 9-for13 with nine runs scored and

SOUTH HADLEY – The South
Hadley Post 260 baseball team
was able to improve its standing
heading into the American Legion
playoffs held earlier this week
thanks to four straight victories to
close out the regular season.
For Post 260, it was a summer
of streaks as they lost the first six
games, win three straight, lost two,
and then won their final four games.
They closed out the regular season with a couple of convincing
victories, taking down Springfield
Post 21 8-2, and the completely
trouncing East Springfield Post
420 12-0.

SUDBURY – “The way a team
plays as a whole determines its
success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in
the world, but if they don’t play
together, the club won’t be worth
a dime.”
The famous quote by Babe
Ruth perfectly describes the
2016 Belchertown Intermediate
baseball team (12-13 year olds),
which only lost two regular season games.
During the past couple of
months, the Belchertown players
played very well together and they
also became the first team in the
history of the Belchertown Little
League to play in the state finals.
After losing, 12-4, against
Bridgewater in game one of the
best-of-three series, Belchertown
tied the score at 3-3 in game two
with two outs in the top of the
seventh inning. Unfortunately,
Belchertown’s outstanding season came to an end when the
Bridgewater leadoff batter hit
a walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh for a 4-3
victory last Saturday afternoon
at Featherland Park in Sudbury,
which is also where Babe Ruth
lived for five years.
“This was just a great Little
League baseball game,” said
B e l c h e r t ow n m a n a g e r J o n
Endelos. “This is also the best
group of baseball players that I’ve
ever coached. They just kept fighting until the end and they never
gave up. It’s just a very special
group of kids.”
The members of the
Belchertown Intermediate baseball team, who walked off the
field with their heads held high,
are Brady Dulude, Tyler Laramee,
Austin Endelos, Max Wojick, Jack
Gelinas, Graham Perlak, Chris
Ingram, Zack Jenks, Mike Bode,
Matt Bode, Colby Masse, Owen
Raines, and Ryan Zawistowski.
Tim Mitus was also a member
of the Intermediate team during
the regular season, but he didn’t
play in any of the postseason
games.
The two assistant coaches were
Mark Zawistowski and Scott
Bode.
Because the majority of the
Belchertown players will be too
old to play for the Intermediate
team again next spring, they’ll
most likely be playing for the
Junior Legion team, which starts
its season in June. Because of
that, the Belchertown Little
League will most likely be adding
a Junior Division team for the first
time next year.

LUDLOW
– The
Belchertown Junior Legion
baseball team qualified for
the playoffs and played two
games, falling to Greenfield
4-1, and Ludlow 8-2.
For South Hadley, it was a big second
inning that made all the difference as East
Springfield allowed nine runs to cross the
plate. South Hadley would send 13 hitters to the plate and staked starting pitcher
Nehemiah Wilson to a big lead.
It started with Evan Leverault, who singled to start the inning. He would be erased
on a fielder’s choice that allowed Tom Shea
to reach.
Catch Ryan Kleszczysnki would send
a single to the outfield, allowing Shea to
come around to score. Ethan Fleming followed by reaching on an error.
Back at the top of the order, Justin
Kleeberg would keep the line moving with
a base hit. James Foley reached on the
second error by the East Springfield third
baseman.
Mario Oliveira then came to the plate
and socked a two-run double. He then traded places with Chris Jarrett, who doubled
to the gap in right-center. Wilson was ninth
man to bat, and was hit by a pitch.
Following a pop-out, Shea reached on
a another error, allowing a run to score,
and Kleszczysnki socked another single to
drive in two runs to finish out the scoring
and make it 9-0.
South Hadley would spread three more
runs over the next couple of innings to grab
the dominant victory.
PEOPLES | from Page 13
in the bottom of the fourth. Allen would
finish the game with 4 1-3 innings. He
struck out eight, walked two, and had one
hit in getting the win.
Peoples’ offense exploded in the top of
the eighth inning,
Ferry led off with a single, and Bouvier
walked. Ryan Franczek would reach on a
fielder’s choice, and he was followed by
walks by Clark and Ted Lerud. Lerud’s
walk would chase in one run. Then came
the big blow, with Goodwin-Boyd coming
up with a bases-clearing triple to make it

Pitcher Nehemiah Wilson fires to
the plate.
With the win, South Hadley closed out
the regular season with a 7-8 record, good
for ninth place in the league. South Hadley
would play Greenfield last weekend in the
opening round of the American Legion
District 3 playoffs.
Unfortunately for Post 260, it was
a very quick exit from the best-of-three
game series for the second straight year
as South Hadley was defeated last Sunday
and Monday 10-6 and then 9-5 in a game
played at Landers Field.
South Hadley did not have a junior legion
team despite the growing league. Post 260’s
team featured several of this season’s varsity team, which reached the semifinals of
the Western Massachusetts Tournament as
well a few post-graduates.
10-6. Hogan drove in a run with a single to
finish off the scoring.
St. Joe’s would threaten in the bottom of
the inning, but Seth Allen shut the door on
the victory.
PeoplesBank would go on to win their
next game against DiFranco Realty 8-0 last
Thursday, and the Bankers are now 16-1
for the season.
St. Joe’s is still in the playoff race with
a sixth place tie at 6-8 for the season.
PeoplesBank closes out the regular season on July 18 in a makeup game against
Wilbraham Funeral Home at 7 p.m. at
Farrell Field at Spec Pond in Wilbraham.

HOLYOKE – The Easthampton Bulldawgs
defeated the Paper City Bombers 17-1 on
Sunday and the four playoff teams are confirmed, with only seedings left to be determined in the final few games of the season.
Brian Hayes had four hits for the
Bulldawgs (8-6), including a double and
two triples to go along with four runs scored.
Todd Vishaway chipped in three RBI, Austin
Harris scored three runs, going 3-for-4 with

“These players want to keep playing
baseball together and they don’t want to
wait until June to start playing for the
Junior Legion team,” Endelos said. “I’m
90 percent sure that we’ll be starting a
Little League Junior Division team next
spring. The players on that team will
also be able to play for the Junior Legion
team.”
Raines, Ingram, Jenks, Mike Bode,
and Matt Bode will be freshmen at
Belchertown High School in the fall.
Those five players will be trying out for
the Orioles junior varsity baseball team
next spring.
The Intermediate state finals were held
in Sudbury for the first time after being
played in Auburn the past couple of years.
Only one representative of the Sudbury
Little League, which was the groundskeeper, attended last Saturday games.
The official scorekeeper was one of the
Bridgewater coaches.
If the Belchertown Little League, which
is a first class organization from top to
bottom, ever had the opportunity to host
the state finals, there would probably be at
least six or seven people working on the
baseball field between games. A couple of
weeks ago, a downpour before the start of
the District 2 9-10 year olds championship game left the infield of Mini Fenway
underwater. A group of hardworking men
had the field ready to play an hour later.
Belchertown was trailing 3-2 entering
the top of the seventh inning of game two.
After the leadoff batter flied out to left,
Zawistowski lined a base hit past the third
baseman down the left field line. After
moving to second base on a wild pitch,
Zawistowski advanced to third on a comebacker by Perlak. Then Mike Bode, who
fouled off a couple of pitches, lined a
single off the right fence knocking home
the tying run. Belchertown’s rally continued with a double to left by Ingram and
Raines was intentionally walked, which
loaded the bases.
Bridgewater right-hander John Breen,
who went the distance, got out of the jam
INTERMEDIATE | from Page 13
had 10 RBIs in the deciding game of the
Auburn series. Wojicik led the way with
a pair of three-run home runs and a run
scoring double.
“It was a total team effort, but Max’s bat
was the difference maker for us tonight,”
said Belchertown manager Jon Endelos.
“He struggled a little bit in yesterday’s
game, but he didn’t let it bother him very
much tonight.”
Jenks, who was the winning pitcher
in game 3 of the sectional series, also
helped himself at the plate by going 3-for4. On the mound, he hurled the first 4 2-3
innings allowing four runs (three earned)
on only four base hits. He walked just one
batter and struck out four.
“Zack and I always work very well
together. He just pitched an awesome
game tonight,” Ingram said. “We’ve been
playing on the same baseball team for
many years and he never shakes me off.
He has a lot of trust in me.”
The Belchertown manager was also
impressed with the pitching performance
by Jenks.
“Zack was excellent on the mound
tonight,” Endelos said. “He did get a little
bit tired at the end, but he just kept their
hitters off balance.”
Belchertown took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a RBI single by Raines.
They scored seven more runs in the
third inning, which gave Jenks, who’s a
lefty, an 8-0 lead to protect. The biggest
hit of the frame was a three run home by
Wojicik over the center field fence.
with a fly ball out.
Austin Endelos, who pitched very well
during the first six innings, moved over to
first base before the start of the bottom of
the seventh inning. Wojick, who probably
would’ve been the starting pitcher in game
three the following afternoon, replaced
Endelos on the moveable mound.
Bridgewater captured the championship title when Jake Prisco hit a leadoff
home run over the center field and they
advanced to the regionals.
Bridgewater took a 2-0 lead in game
two when Sam Hoffses hit a two-run
homer over the centerfield fence with no
outs in the bottom of the first.
Belchertown sliced the deficit in
half with two outs in fourth following
an infield hit by Endelos, which plated
Ingram, who hit a leadoff single. They
tied the score in the following frame when
Dulude, who singled, scored on a throwing error by the Bridgewater second baseman.
Bridgewater, who only had nine players
for game two, retook the lead in the bottom of the fifth and it remained a one run
lead until the top of the seventh.
Belchertown took a 1-0 lead in the
opening game with two outs in the top
of the first when Raines hit a towering
home run over the left field fence. It was
the only time they held the lead in either
game.
Bridgewater tied the score in the bottom half of the inning and they scored
five more runs two innings later, which
increased their lead to 6-1. The biggest hit
of that frame was a grand slam by Breen,
who led his team offensively in game one
by hitting two home runs and finishing
with five RBIs.
Belchertown scored single runs in the
fourth and fifth innings, but Bridgewater
pulled away by scoring five more runs in
the sixth inning.
E v e n t h o u g h t h e B e l c h e r t ow n
Intermediate players won’t have the
opportunity to play in the Eastern
Regionals on Long Island this weekend,
it was still a very memorable season for
them.
“The pitcher threw me an off speed
pitch and I just stayed back on it,” Wojicik
said. “It was right down the middle and I
was ready for it. It was just a great feeling and I hit another three-run home run
a couple of innings later. It’s also great to
win our final home game of the season.”
Auburn, who won the Intermediate
state title a couple of years ago, scored
an unearned run in the fourth inning and
added three more in the following inning
slicing the deficit in half.
Belchertown got three of those runs
back on Wojicik’s second three-run homer
in the fifth inning.
The contest and the series came to an
end because of the 10-run mercy rule in
the next inning following back-to-back
run-scoring doubles by Wojicik and
Endelos.
Endelos also pitched very well in the
final 1 1-3 innings of the game, which
helped Belchertown advance into the state
finals for the first time.
“The Belchertown Little League has
had several teams win District titles in the
past, but none of those teams made it past
the sectionals,” manager Endelos said. “I
just love coaching this group of kids and
they always play the game of baseball the
right way.”
The magic carpet ride continued several more days for the Belchertown
Intermediate baseball team.
