Boy Scout Ben Silverio, of Troop 281, puts rolled up flags into the fire to retire
them. He helped to conduct the ceremony at Ware's American Legion alongside
Marty Flynn.
WARE – Inclement weather forced the Ware Historical
Commission’s dedication of a new
elm tree to be held indoors at the
Ware Junior Senior High School
gymnasium last Saturday afternoon.
The tree had previously been
planted in honor of General Gilbert
Lafayette’s visit to Ware in 1824,
replacing one that had provided
shade for the general as he passed
through town on an historic tour of
the country. The original tree was
about 320-years-old when it was
felled during a severe storm.
A three-member color guard
of the Sons of the American
Revolution marched into the gym,
marking the opening of the dedication, with Kathleen Galford,
treasurer of the Ware Historical
Commission, serving as mistress
of ceremonies.
Standing at a podium flanked
on either side by the American flag
and the tri-colored, red, white and
blue French flag, Galford introduced each speaker, beginning
with Ware Selectmen Chairman
John Carroll, who commended the
members of the commission for all
the projects they undertake, given
their limited budget. Members in
attendance, in addition to Galford,
were Lynn Lak, chairman; Wanda
Mysona, vice chairman; and atlarge members Cindi LaBombard
and Tracy Opalinski. Not pres-

WARE – Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts
performed a retirement ceremony by fire for
roughly 4,000 flags at the American Legion
Post 123 in Ware on Tuesday June 14.
The scouts performed and lead the ceremony where they retired the flags by fire
along with veterans and parents.
This is the fifth year that Ware Boy Scout
Troop 281 has performed the ceremony,
but it has been performed at the American
Legion for over 90 years. It is the largest ceremony of its kind in the state, according to
the troop's Scoutmaster Daniel Flynn.

WARREN – Four Quaboag
Regional Middle High School
and Warren High School alumni
were recognized and added to the
Quaboag Veteran’s Wall during the
school’s annual Flag Day ceremony
on the morning of June 10.
Local veterans, school officials, and students gathered in the
QRMHS auditorium around midmorning for the annual ceremony,
led by Grade 9 students in teacher
Jeff Robbins’ Pre-AP civics class.
During the ceremony, students
provided a history of and performance of the “Star Spangled
Banner,” which officially became
the national anthem on March 3,
1931, as well as a performance of
Johnny Cash’s “This Ragged Old
Flag,” to remind all that the flag is
more than a colorful banner.
The Quaboag Band played
a variety, and some medleys,
of songs, such as “America the
Beautiful,” and students presented the different flags from each
branch of service: United States Air
Force, Navy, Army, Coast Guard,
and Marines. Students Isabelle
Greenlaw, Emily Floury, Carly
Duff, Haylee Wetnicka, Alyssa
Bettencourt, and Hannah D’Angelo
also did a demonstration on how to
fold the flag to be retired, which
they then presented to Gary Lapine,
Veteran’s Service Agent for Warren
and West Brookfield.

PALMER — Pathfinder Regional
Vocational Technical High School
District Superintendent Gerald Paist
said he knew the Class of 2016
would go on to many and varied
lives and careers. But at least they
would leave the June 3 graduation
ceremony a little bit richer, he said.
After searching the U.S. Mint
online for graduation gifts, he presented each of the 143 graduates
with a gold Presidential Dollar, featuring former Presidents Richard
Nixon and Gerald Ford. After
receiving their diplomas from
Principal/Assistant Director Mary
Jane Rickson and Pathfinder School
Committee Chairman Michael
Cavanaugh, Vocational Director
Eric Duda and Academic Director
Timothy Moriarty handed each of
the graduates an envelope containing the coin.
Paist offered some of Ford's
words of wisdom, given in 1978 at
Chicago State University.
“The only soul really lost is one
who gave up without trying,” he
said.
Likewise, Salutatorian Mallory
Linn of Monson said that it was
important for her fellow graduates
not to give up on their dreams, no
matter where they might be heading.
She commented that she was
scared to talk in front of the large
audience, but the fact that she
could showed how far her education and relationships at Pathfinder
had taken her.

After receiving the school’s retired
flag, Gary Lapine, Veteran’s
Service Agent for Warren and
West Brookfield, talks about the
special ceremony that is held
when and old, tattered, or torn
flag is retired.
“Of the 25 towns in my Senate
district, this is the only high school
that does this [kind of ceremony],”
said state Sen. Anne Gobi (DSpencer), featured speaker along
with State Rep. Donald Berthiaume
Jr. (R-Spencer).
“What we do at the end of a
flag’s life is to treat it very much
like a human, because it is a
human—it is all of us,” said Lapine
as he spoke about the ceremony

GILBERTVILLE – Parents of
students from St. Mary's School
in Ware have banded together and
are in the process of starting a new,
independent Catholic elementary
school in the former St. Aloysius
School at St. Aloysius Church in
Gilbertville.
St. Mary's School closed this
month, and although the search for
a property that took a lot of twists,
the parents eventually settled on
St. Aloysius School, which closed
in the 1970s, according to Roberta
McQuaid, one of the parents driving the new school's creation.
“We knew what a special place
St. Mary’s was, and we did not
want to lose that experience for our
kids,” said parent Jennifer Knight.

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.

Voters head to Town Meeting Saturday
By Eileen Kennedy
Staff writer
HARDWICK – Voters will head
to Saturday's Town Meeting at noon
in the Hardwick Elementary School
at 76 Schoolhouse Drive, and tackle a
number of issues, including whether
to create an entity that would allow
the town to operate its own broadband system if need be.
The Hardwick Broadband
Committee submitted warrant article 16, asking that a paper entity, a
municipal light plant, be created that
would hold any broadband infrastructure assets should the town opt to own
its broadband system rather than have
a third party, such as Comcast, own it.
Over time, if the town chose to
buy the system, the entity would
own the fiber optic cable and related
equipment to operate the system.
Stan White, a Broadband
Committee member, said it is a good
option for the town have as it tries to
work with Massachusetts Broadband
Institute, which received funding
to help towns that are only partially served with internet access. MBI
has money to award a contract for
Hardwick and Montague to receive
broadband service, but MBI and the
towns are not in agreement about
what company should receive the
contract.
The Broadband Committee
believes that fiber optic internet
access is the proper choice for the
town rather than coax copper cable.
MBI has proposed that Hardwick and
Montague have coax copper cable
installed by Comcast, while the towns
would prefer to have a second bidder,
Matrix, install fiber optic cable. MBI
has said that Matrix is not financially
strong enough and that there have
been problems with at least one of
its installations, although Broadband
Committee members said that is not
the case.
“We have two bids on the table
for Hardwick, fiber optic and copper,” White said. “Coax copper is like
having a horse and buggy while fiber
optic cable is like having a car. If
copper is installed, in five to 10 years
it will be like having DSL service and
in 10 to 12 years it will be like having
a dial-up modem.”
The Broadband Committee members believe that having a way to own
the broadband service in town is good
option because if a fiber optic system is built, the town would have the
option to buy it and run it, he said.
The state-mandated process
to form such an entity takes many
months and more than one vote at
Town Meeting, and in order to have
the option available, it has proposed
article 16. If it is approved by voters,
another vote regarding the MLP at a
future meeting would be necessary.
Neither this vote, nor the initiating
of a MLP will require any operating
monies from the town.
If the MLP were to actually
become operational, the operational
funds would be generated through
broadband user fees similar to the
way a municipal power or sewer plant
operates, according to White.
Other articles
Voters will also consider whether
to make the elected town treasurer
and tax collector's positions appointed rather than elected, which many
towns across the state have begun to
Jazz in June wows audience
do. It is an effort to streamline those
positions and bring them under the
supervision of selectmen and town
managers, and to find the most qualified individuals for the jobs.
Also on the warrant are articles
asking voters to make a member of
the Board of Health to a part-time
position to be supervised by the
board, and to see if the two members of the Board of Assessors will
be appointed to one full-time position
and one part-time position, which
would be supervised by the board.
Voter will also be asked to
approve money to pay for masonry and roof repairs to the Municipal
Office Building and to upgrade the
disinfection system for the Hardwick
Center Water District. They will also
be asked to accept all town department reports, approve a budget and
the town's ability to borrow money
and to continue revolving funds for
different uses.
There is also an article asking
that the vote taken at a Special Town
Meeting in June 1990, establishing
the town as a nuclear-free zone, be
rescinded.

WARE –On Monday night, at the
Ware Junior Senior High School,
the lucky people who attended the
“Jazz in June” concert by the Ware
Community Jazz Ensemble were
talking about it long after the program had ended.
One woman walked out humming “Bye, Bye Blackbird,” a tune
from the program. Friends lingered, discussing when the next jazz
concert would be held. A couple
who came from Shrewsbury, marveled that admission had been free.
Another woman said that she would
have willingly paid $20 for such a
wonderful performance.
Before the program got underwa y, Wa r e C o m m u n i t y J a z z
Ensemble Director John Sacco
welcomed the audience and invited them to sit back, relax and even
take off their shoes if they cared to.
He told the audience that there was
ample space in front of the stage so
that anyone who wanted to dance
could come right up and enjoy
themselves. Before the evening was
over, two people actually did.
The 15-member ensemble, conducted by Sacco, thrilled the small
audience with selections that jazz
aficionados immediately recognized, such as the classic “Take the
A Train,” and “See If I Don’t.” They
were also treated to lesser-known
songs, such as “Killer Joe,” but
Sacco shared a bit of background
information about each of the songs
and the composers, which added
considerably to the enjoyment of
the performances. He told the audience about Buddy Rich, the greatest
jazz drummer of all time, whose
career began when he was just 18months-old. The child was actually
a band leader by the time he was 11,
Sacco said.
The selections were varied over
the course of the one and a half hour
program, with the audience showing their appreciation with ample
applause. A nice addition to the mix
were some Latin tempos, perfect for
doing a Cha-Cha or a Bossa Nova
combination.
Young Men's Library Association Children's Librarian Cathy
Rezendes is looking forward to the beginning of the summer reading program, which starts on June 22.
Ware Library summer reading
program starts June 22
WARE – As part of this summer’s reading program through
t h e Yo u n g M e n ’s L i b r a r y
Association in Ware, pre-school
through grade 6 children have the
opportunity to participate in over
ten different events throughout
June and July.
Registration opens on June 22,
when children and their families
can also sign up for a reading log.
Cathy Rezendes, the children’s
librarian, said that although independent reading is promoted for
children, family reading is also
encouraged for children who
haven’t started to read yet.
In partnership with Special
Olympics Massachusetts, children
in the summer reading program
can help local athletes.
According to Rezendes there
are limited spaces available for
the summer reading program.
The theme this summer is
“On your mark, get set… Read!”
and Rezendes hopes to help kids
“exercise their minds and bodies
in order to live a more healthy
lifestyle.”
Local businesses and organizations such as the Ware Cultural
Council, Country Bank, Monson
Savings Bank, North Brookfield
Savings Bank and Janine’s
Frostee have sponsored several of
the events.
Rezendes emphasized the
importance of reading, because
“books are not just stories. They
can help with anything, stuff
that’s going on in kids’ lives.
Books will help with anything
you need.”

songs such “Cry Me a River,” and

Making her debut with the Jazz
Ensemble was Deb Deschamps, a

of the Julie London classic, “Cry

GUEST COLUMN
Do you use a
pseudonym
or nickname?
By Loren Gould
Guest columnist
D
o you have a nickname? The most common nicknames are shortened versions
of your whole name, such as Bob for
Robert or Bill (did you ever see a bird without
a William?) for William. What about nicknames
that drastically differ from you name? My wife
was named Elaine Parsley, but in secondary
school she was called “celery” because of her
last name; that became shortened to “Cel,” and
all but her immediate relatives always knew her
as Cel. When cellphones came into use I called
her my “celphone” because of her nickname.
I made it through school without a nickname, but when I was at the first National Park
Service Training School at Yosemite National
Park in 1957, a ranger from Hawaii nicknamed
me “Casey” after the infamous train engineer
because I wore a denim jacket. That name was
not adopted by other members of the class, but
my wife liked it and called me Casey for the rest
of her life whenever she really wanted to get my
attention.
We used a combination for signing joint articles of KCel, KC for Casey and el from Cel.
Then, after she died and I began a friendship
with Carl, he and his friends did not want to call
me Dr. Gould when we first got to know each
other, and I became “The Professor.” That group
called me The Professor for the years I visited
Carl. His obituary listed Loren “The Professor”
Gould as one of his friends. A fellow professor
living in Worcester saw the obit and shortly afterward paid me a visit, all because he had seen my
name and it brought back the past to him.
Now what about other people: Do you remember Frances Gumm singing “Over the Rainbow”
in “The Wizard of Oz?” Perhaps not, but you
probably remember Judy Garland singing that
song. If you enjoyed country music in the last
century, you probably heard Harold Jenkins singing such music although he was better known
as Conway Twitty, a name composed of towns
in Arkansas and Texas chosen at random by his
manager. You have surely enjoyed many movies
featuring Marion Morrison, better known as John
Wayne (who had his own nickname: Duke).
Some personalities have borrowed another
person’s name, such as Arnold Dorsey who reinvented himself by using the name Engleburt
Humperdinck, the name of a 19th-century composer. My favorite nickname was the result of
a man with the family name of Doctor becoming a doctor, thus being introduced as Doctor
Doctor, which soon was changed to the nickname “Double Doc.”
Some nicknames are harmless and perfectly
acceptable to the recipient, but others can be
hurtful. Mel Torme hated the nickname of the
“Velvet Fog,” but had to live with it all his adult
life. You can legally change your name to a new
one, Ocho Cinco for example, although the professional football player soon changed that name
back to his original name, Chad Johnson. Joseph
Stalin had his name changed to a man of steel as
a means of defining his role in the history of the
USSR; who could blame him for changing his
name when it was originally Josif Vissarionovish
Dzhugashvill.
Ted Williams had several nicknames such as
the “Splendid Splinter,” given to him when he
was young and slender. Many people have been
given nicknames for personal characteristics,
such as Tamerlane (Temur the Lame). Others
have chosen their own nicknames, sometimes to
create a new personality and other times to stress
some characteristic of their self-perception of
themselves. In most cases the use of a nickname
offers information about the individual, either
as to how they perceive themselves or how others perceive them. Feel free to use a nickname,
but respect the individual who does not care to
have one as a substitute for their original name.
Remember, it is the individual that counts and
not a nickname, be it suitable or not.

The nests are shaped like open cups and

a sphagnum hummock, tree stumps or other

School Committee Superintendent, board discuss school budget
reduces budget
By Colleen Montague
Staff Writer
By Eileen Kennedy
Staff writer
WARREN – The Quaboag
Regional School Committee
unanimously approved a reduced
fiscal 2017 budget Wednesday, a
day after West Brookfield Town
Meeting voted $250,000 over the
district's foundation budget instead
of the $307,911 called for in district's first budget.
The original budget approved
by the School Committee earlier this year assessed Warren at
$488,925 over the foundation
budget, although Warren's Town
Meeting in May approved a portion of that, which was $225,000
over the foundation budget but
which was $238,925 less than the
first budget.
The reworked budget now
calls for West Brookfield to provide $250,000, as it voted last
Tuesday, and for Warren to provide $394,662, in an effort to work
with the towns during a lean fiscal
year, officials said, which would
be $169,662 more than Warren
Town Meeting voters approved in
May.
School Committee member
Robert Souza said he made the
motion for a reduced budget with
“great discomfort.”
On Thursday morning, the district's treasurer certified the vote
and sent letters to Warren and West
Brookfield with the new budget
figures.
Once the letter is received,
Warren will have between 14
and 30 days to schedule an additional Town Meeting to vote on
whether to approve the figure of
$394,662, the new figure Warren
is being asked to provide with the
revised budget, according to the
district's Director of Finance and
Operations Camie Lamica.
“We want to work with the
towns, not only for this year but for
next,” said School Superintendent
Dr. Brett Kustigian. “We want to
work with them and come up with
something reasonable. I think the
writing is on the wall.”
At the West Brookfield Town
Meeting, officials and residents
said the town could not afford to
pay more than $250,000, because
it would have to take the money
from the town's stabilization fund,
which would leave only $167,000
for emergencies for the rest of
fiscal 2017. An override for the
money for the schools, as well as
other town departments, was overwhelmingly defeated at the polls
in May in West Brookfield, leaving
the town no choice about where to
find the money.
If Warren voters do not
approve the new budget number
at another Town Meeting, the
state's Dept. of Education would
likely get involved, and place the
district on a one-twelfth budget
each month until additional Town
Meetings solved the problem or
until Dec. 31. At that point the
state would come up with the budget it believed the district should
have, and essentially mandate that
the towns pay it, Lamica said.
At the start of the meeting
Warren Community Elementary
School first-grade teacher Mary
Peloquin thanked the School
Committee for their hard work
in developing and advocating a
budget that provides students with
what they need for their education.
During West Brookfield's Town
Meeting Kustigian shared some of
the potential budget cuts, which
would include administrative staff
furlough days, a full-time secretary, an increase in fees, School
Choice busing, a full-time instructional coach, special education
staffing, a reduction of paraprofessional staff and institution of a
parking fee. It could also mean the
loss of a full-time IT person and
library staffing at all three schools
“On behalf of the children and
the staff, we are really grateful
that you have worked so hard,”
she said. “You've spent hundreds
of hours and we just want you to
know that it has not gone unnoticed.”
Community Pops concert
in search of singers
By Eileen Kennedy
Staff writer
WARE – If you like to sing
and you like to sing with others,
Karla Newmark is looking for you
to take part in the annual Pops
Concert at the United Church of
Ware on Church Street on Sunday,
July 17.
“The whole concert is about how
you can live positively,” Newmark
said. “It's a chance for people to
work together for a common good,
which not only feels good, it adds
positively to the whole climate.”
Newmark is the music director
at the church and is also involved in
Ware Community Theater's production this summer of “Chorus Line.”
She is hoping kids and adults
will sign up to sing in the concert
that will feature numbers like “This
is the Best Day of My Life,” “It's
Not Easy Being Green,” and “Teach
Your Children Well,” among a number of others. She has created her
own arrangements of the songs, and
is looking forward to hearing them
sung by a group.
“I wanted to do something a
little different, a little more interactive,” she said. “It's up to people to
participate, and children have to be
offered something other than the
internet, video games and sports.
The physical side is important but
it's just as important to nourish your
brain and it has been proven that
singing has beneficial effects on the
brain.”
The concert will be at 7 p.m. that
night, and there will be a sweet treat
afterward – an ice cream social. The
church is located at 49 Church St.
Signup sheets to participate in
singing can be found at the church
and at the Ware River News office
at 80 Main St.
with Karla Newmark directing.
Proceeds of the ice cream social
will go to the Ware Fuel Bank. We
are looking for singers of all ages,
including little ones with good
attention spans. We will be singing
a program of songs that includes
music from all our generations.
Sign up lists will be at church or
around town. Singing is good for
the soul and the brain.
WARREN – Quaboag Regional
School District Superintendent of
Schools Dr. Brett Kustigian and
Camie Lamica, the district's director of finance and operations, came
before Warren selectmen Tuesday
to discuss the school’s budget for
fiscal 2017.
Kustigian said that following the
vote at the West Brookfield Town
Meeting, the school did not have a
budget, and they had notified the
Commissioner of Education that
they would not have a budget as of
July 1. The commissioner will set a
one-twelfth budget.
Kustigian presented an outline
ofthe School Committee’s budget reduction plan that included a
“Plan B,” which West Brookfield
approved, and a “Plan C,” which
would be for the amount Warren
approved at their town meeting on
May 10. Their “Plan A,” Kustigian
said, was a level-service budget
that would not have any cuts, but it
was now off the table due to West
Brookfield's Town Meeting vote.
Kustigian said the Plan B budget, which is a budget reduced
by $157,734, which the School
Committee voted following the
West Brookfield Town Meeting, was
their best-case scenario.
Kustigian also went through each
line item under this plan: all administrators agreed to a furlough day,
which would be a $3,400 reduction; custodial overtime would be
reduced by $4,000; copier purchase
would be eliminated; the lead tech
stipend would be eliminated; for
central office staff, .6 positions
would be eliminated, which would
be a $36,000 reduction; a half-time
custodian would be eliminated, and
the high school and West Brookfield
would need to share one; one secretary position would be eliminated;
two building-based instructional
coaches at the elementary school
(Warren) would be eliminated and
a paraprofessional position would
be eliminated. The district will also
have to increase unemployment.
Kustigian added that they would
also increase before and afterschool
fees at both elementary schools, and
he will propose at the next School
Committee meeting that School
Choice students pay for bus service,
start charging fees for band and chorus and increase the athletic fees to
$75 per sport.
“This plan looks at classroom
teachers last,” Kustigian said.
“These were the only positions that
we had that were not classroom
teachers.”
“Plan C is what we’ve had to
plan for,” he said, before going
over the line items under this plan.
It would eliminate an additional paraprofessional and a special
education position; the librarians
would be eliminated library at West
Brookfield Elementary School,
Warren Community Elementary
School, and the high school; a high
school social studies teacher position would be cut, there would be a
further half-time custodian elimination; Family Consumer Science at
the high school would be eliminated; there would be no high school
extra-curricular or department head
stipends; and they would reduce
the number of athletic games, to
name a few items. Under this plan
they would reduce the budget by
$431,665.
After the West Brookfield Town
Meeting vote, the School Committee
had 30 days to reconsider its budget, which it did last Wednesday,
and have presented selectmen with
a certified copy of the budget reduction.
Warren would then have 45 days
to schedule a Special Town Meeting
to reconsider the school budget.
Kustigian requested if they could
have the town meeting as soon as
possible. Selectmen Chairman Dario
Nardi stated that he wasn’t yet ready
to set a date until after he saw timelines, and had spoken with the Town
Clerk and Moderator. Nardi said a
selectmen’s meeting could be scheduled for the following week, during
which a Town Meeting date could
be chosen.
Nardi also asked Lamica if they
were in the process of negotiating
contracts for the next year, and if
there were any possibility there
could be a one-year contract with no
increases. that they would agree to
going one year without an increase,
then possibly renegotiate next year.
School Committee member Robert
Souza, also in attendance, responded that the Personnel Subcommittee
was working hard to keep everything where it was for at least one
year. He said the School Committee
was continuing to make concessions
and would work with both towns to
meet the towns’ needs and find a
happy financial medium.
Selectmen scheduled a meeting for Monday, June 20, during
which they will set a date for a
Special Town Meeting to vote on
the school’s budget. The Quaboag
School Committee will also meet on
June 20 at 6:30 p.m.
VETERANS

when a flag is retired. “At the time
a flag is to be disposed of, it is
given the same rights and honors
as you would do at any funeral.” He
explained that during the ceremony
the folded flags to be retired—worn,
tattered, or torn—are respected and
recognized, and when it was time,
they would be respectfully brought
to a fire and their remains cremated.
The ceremony would be conducted
at a proper facility—in this area, it
would be the American Legion Post
in West Brookfield.
“I realized…going through
things how much I rely on symbolism,” Gobi said. “That’s what we
think about today and on Flag Day,
because the flag is such an important symbol for our country, and
everything it stands for. What gives
life to the flag is us.”
As part of the Flag Day ceremonies, the students also inducted four
alumni from QRMHS and Warren
High School into the Quaboag
During this year’s Flag Day ceremony, four alumni from Quaboag Regional High School and Warren High
School were inducted into the Quaboag Veterans Wall: From left: Jeanne Tatro, Quaboag Class of 1996—U.S.
Air Force, James Turner, Quaboag Class of 1985—U.S. Army, Gary Odiorne, Warren High School Class of
1965—U.S. Army, and Howard Pratt, Warren High School Class of 1950—U.S. Army;
Veterans Wall, a special display set
up on the back wall of the auditorium that recognizes alumni from
these schools who served in the
armed forces. During the ceremony
each was recognized and presented
with their photograph, which was
placed on the Veterans Wall.
The school intends to add to the
display and formally inducts these
veterans each year at the Flag Day
ceremony. Alumni inducted this
year were: Gary Odiorne, Warren
High School Class of 1965—U.S.
Army; Jeanne Tatro (who was
unable to attend), QRMHS Class
of 1996—U.S. Air Force; James
Turner—whose mother, Patricia
Turner, appeared on his behalf—
QRMHS Class of 1985—U.S.
Army; and Howard Pratt, Warren

The flag retirement ceremony
was held at the American Legion

Ware Police Log
Behind the Lines in Ware
By Sloane M. Perron
Correspondent
Child locks self, dog in car
On June 3 at 10:51 a.m., on 123
West Main Street, a little boy accidentally locked himself and his dog
in a car. The mother called the Ware
Police Department. Officer Paul
Skutnik arrived on the scene and
unlocked the vehicle. Both the child
and the dog were fine and were only
in the car for a few minutes.
Theft at Wal-Mart
On June 3 at 11:26 p.m., a caller
reported that between 8 and 9 p.m.,
his cell phone, DVD movies and
Bank of America credit card had
been stolen while he was at WalMart. Shortly after the theft, the
caller reported that his credit card
had already been used to purchase
about $400 worth of merchandise.
The man was able to call Bank of
America and put a stop on his credit
card. Officer Diana Gliniecki is currently leading an active investigation into the larceny.
OUI, negligent operation arrest
On June 5 at 1:51 a.m., Sgt. Scott
Lawrence was on patrol and driving
by the intersection of Gould West
roads when he saw a vehicle with
its hazard lights on, resting on a
banking on Gould Road. The officer
stopped to check the vehicle, where
he observed that the female driver
had an alcoholic odor on her breath.
Lawrence then conducted a field
sobriety test, which the driver failed.
Mariellen Larazazs, 48, of 133 Dawn
Drive in Ormond Beach, Florida ,was
arrested for OUI liquor and negligent
operation of a motor vehicle.
Man charged with pointing
rifle at teen
Early on Sunday, June 5, a man
and his 17-year-old son reported
that the previous evening a man had
pointed a rifle at the boy. The teen
had been dropped off on the side of
the road by a friend and he proceeded to wait for his girlfriend to pick
him up. A neighbor, identified as
Shann W. Treadwell, of 289 Osborne
Road, came out of his home with
a rifle and a flashlight. He began
asking the juvenile questions and
accused him of being one of the
individuals who had been causing
recent break-ins. According to the
teenager, Treadwell allegedly pointed the rifle to the boy's head, forced
him to lay on his stomach on the
ground and then put the rifle into the
boy's mouth. A female party came
to pick up the teen. She explained
the situation to Treadwell, and the
teenage boy was allowed to enter
the vehicle, which left the scene.
He then called his father to tell him
what had just occurred. Ware Police
officers applied for a search warrant.
They, along with Hardwick Police,

at 127 West Main Street called the
Ware Police Department to report
a suspicious person. The man
claimed to be a Ware police officer

advised her not to let the man in
if he returned, and told her to call
police.. Media Relations Officer

Inmates and dogs benefit from working together
By Sloane M. Perron
Correspondent
WEST BOYLSTON – On June
10, the Worcester County Sheriff's
Office celebrated the one-year
anniversary of Project Good Dog,
a program that allows inmates in
the work release facility to train
shelter dogs with behavioral issues
and find the animals their“forever
homes”
Project Good Dog began when
the Second Chance Animal Shelter
in East Brookfield approached the
Worcester County Jail and House
of Correction with an idea that
would benefit both the shelter
dogs and the inmates.
Worcester County Sheriff Lew
Evangelidis spoke about the positive impact that Project Good Dog
to commit a crime then when they
got here.” He recalled a time in the
past when someone asked about
rehabilitating inmates, to which the
Sheriff answered, “I don't care if
they find God, or a dog.”
Since Second Chance Animal
Shelter has partnered with the
work-release facility, it is clear that
for some inmates, having a purpose by training dogs and having
the unconditional love of a pet has
greatly improved their lives. This
program does not cost the taxpayers any money, although donations
to Second Chance Animal Shelter
are always appreciated in order to
cover costs. “We were able to find
a wonderful, wonderful partner for
this program,” Evangelidis said.

insurance, Dioguardi Jewelers
and the Whistle Stop restaurant in
Gilbertville collected flags in addition to the Boy Scouts.
“It’s always an honor to work
with the Boy Scouts,” said Lonny
Murphy, who assisted with the fire.
“I’ve known some of them since
they were in Cub Scouts.”
For over an hour, a large barrel
with “USA” on side received the
thousands of flags. Participants in
the ceremony as well as attendees
could eat food from a barbeque and
watch the fire.
Outgoing post commander of the
American Legion and the first female
post commander of Ware's post, Marci
Dineen, and a previous post commander, Denis Madigan, both agreed
that the ceremony was important for
the community to witness.
“It’s great to see the youth
groups involved and interested,”
Dineen said. “This is a great community event.”
“We contribute to the local com-
has had, not only on the inmates
who train the dogs, but on the
facility as a whole. He said that
the dogs have reduced stress for
inmates and staff ,which improves
the level of safety at the prison,
“The dogs have almost become the
pets of the entire block,” he said.
During the first year of the
program, 20 dogs have been in
the work-release facility and
then been adopted. Eight of these
dogs were even adopted by staff
at the prison. Currently, inmates
are working on training three new
dogs as they teach them behaviors
and manners that will make them
adoptable.
“Public safety, that is what
this program is all about,” said
Evangelidis. “Our job is that people
leaving our facility are less likely

munity” Madigan said. “We don’t
ask for donations.”
Two Boy Scouts, Marty Flynn
and Ben Silverio, lead the ceremony
and spent the majority of their time
taking flags from their peers and
putting them into the fire. It was an
especially important role for them.
“We always go to veterans'
events. It is important to know and
honor the sacrifice that people paid
so we have our freedom,” Flynn
said.
“A lot of people just see these
events as just a parade or just a
cookout, but these events are about
the people who fought and served,”
said Silverio. “It’s amazing what
they’ve done. We’ve been doing
these events for over five years and
it’s really changed my perspective.
We do whatever we can to help. We
live in a small town, but we’re a big
family.”
“The Boy Scouts are a tremendous help with the veterans,”
Murphy said. “They march in the
Memorial Day parade, the Veteran’s
Day parade and they help with the
flag ceremony. We can rely on them.
I know I can call and they’ll be here
in15 minutes ready to help.”

she said, “the only bust of a foreigner
on display there.”
State Rep. Donald Berthiaume Jr.
(R-Spencer) thanked the members of
the commission for inviting him to
attend the event. “This is awesome,”
he said. “It’s always an honor to
come to Ware.”
Attorney Thomas P. Vincent of
Goshen, accompanied by his wife,
Angela Sciotti Vincent, was the next
speaker. Vincent serves as president of the Pomeroy Chapter of the
Massachusetts Sons of the American
Revolution. In his comments he noted
that he had been in Ware a few weeks
ago and had seen the Veterans Park
memorial on Main Street.
“It’s beautiful,” he said. “We
should never forget how many people fought and lost their lives in the
war.” Vincent said Lafayette was
known to be a good friend of George
Washington, in spite of the age differences. He also had high praise for
Thomas Jefferson and read excerpts
from a letter written by Jefferson to
Lafayette. Addressing the members
of the commission, Vincent said,
“The tree you have planted is a solemn contemplation of our freedom

and independence.”
Galford concluded the dedication by extending thanks to all those
who had contributed to the success
of the event and to those who had
attended the dedication. She then
read excerpts from a book by Jack
Kelly, called “Band of Giants,”
which, as a history buff, she highly
recommends. A review of this new
work by Army Magazine calls the
book “mandatory reading for anyone who seeks to understand the
true nature of the Revolutionary era
in America.” Galford ended the program by offering a personal reflection: “The reasons for each war are
very different, but the heart of each
veteran is the same.”
Since the rain had subsided, the
Sons of the American Revolution
color guard, consisting of J. Whitney
Halloran, George Podmore, and
Robert Bossart, were able to offer
a firing salute on the school lawn in

“Where would we be without our
dreams? They're what really puts us
out there in the world.”
Valedictorian Allison Renaud of
Belchertown said the school had
given new opportunities to the
Class of 2016, all of whom had
their own distinctive personalities
and goals. She thanked her teachers and family members for their
support.
“School is everything we've known
for the last 12 years,” she said. “Now
we create our own futures. I want to
thank my parents, friends and teachers who supported me through all the
troubles in my life.”
Sounding a similar tone, Class
President Jordyn Skaza of Palmer
said that each of the 143 graduates
had gone through their own ups and
downs but made it to this milestone
in their lives.
And she noted that many of them
did not know where they would
end up even in their four years at
Pathfinder.
“When I came here, I had thought
about being a therapist,” she said.
“But then I took a wildlife management class with Mr. [Vincent]
Yurkunas. It changed my life. No
one in the class thought they'd end
up as a bird watcher, but we all did. I
can't wait to hear the success stories
of everyone at our 10-year reunion.”

months in order to have sufficient food for the annual
carnival. Clara Williams,
whose cabbage pierogi is a
much sought-after delight,
grew up in Ware, but spent
most of her life in Holyoke.
About 12 years ago, she and
her husband moved back to
Ware. Now Clara continues to make her pierogi and
golomki, as they are much
in demand at all the parish
events.
Generations of families worked together to
provide a weekend of fun
and excitement, especially
for the youngest attendees.
The Morrells, the Kenyons,
the Pelskis, the Kutts, the
Orszulaks, the Royers, and
the St. Onges are just some
of the families whose help
can always be counted on.
Brian and Jolene St. Onge,
along with their children,
Brett and Jocelyn, were trying to keep warm as they
manned their booth. Asked
how long they had worked
at the carnival, Jolene said,

LOCAL RESULTS
Brett St. Onge and his mom, Jolene, enjoyed a polka
dance at St. Mary's Carnival last weekend.
WARE – A few hats
flew away, and the wind
breakers certainly came
in handy, but kids, teens,
parents, and grandparents,
undaunted by unseasonably
cold weather, still came out
to attend what might possibly be the last summer carnival for St. Mary’s Church
in Ware.
The three-day event
was the 33rd sponsored by
the parish last weekend,
but numerous attendees
recalled when the carnival
was offered for a full week
on the school grounds.
With the recent closing of
the parish school and the
elimination of Wednesday
night bingo in the church
hall, there was speculation
that this would be the final
year. Asked to confirm the
rumors that were circulating
regarding the possible end
of the carnival, Reverend
Jeffrey Ballou shrugged,
smiled and walked away.
St. Mary’s parishioners
have contributed for many
years in numerous ways
to the success of the fundraiser; it’s not uncommon
to see the same faces, year
after year, at the booths or
in the kitchen, where the
ever-popular Polish food is
prepared and sold.

the food usually begin

Indians fall to Hopkins
in quarters

HADLEY – After pulling out a big win over 10thseeded Turners Falls in the
opening round of the Western
M a s s a c h u s e t t s D iv i s i o n 4
Tournament, the Ware baseball
team was looking to carry that
momentum into their quarterfinal round contest with secondseeded Hopkins.
Just like in their first playoff game, the Indians received a
great pitching performance, but
it was not enough as Hopkins
escaped with a 2-1 victory.
Junior pitcher Ivan Adams
had another stellar performance
for the Indians as he held down
the Hopkins offensive attack
throughout the contest. Adams
would only end up allowing two
runs on three hits while walking
two and striking out four.
Ware trailed 1-0 in the top of
the seventh, when the Indians
rallied to tie the score and then
nearly took the lead. Ware had
runners on second and third when
Ryan Johnson ripped an RBI single up the middle that tied the
game as Fernando Montalban
was able to score. The Indians
tried to score the go-ahead run
on the play as well, but Hopkins
center fielder Zach Yahman made
a strong throw to the plate to keep
the game tied at 1-1.
In the bottom of the seventh,
Hopkins starting pitcher Jon
Morrison led off the bottom of
the frame with a walk. He moved
to second and third on a pair
of wild pitches before Patrick
Michalak hit a hard grounder to
the Ware shortstop. Morrison
took off for home on the play
and was able to slide around the
tag of the Ware catcher for the
game-winning run.
The Indians, who had played
aggressive baseball on the basepaths all season long, had three
runners thrown out trying to steal
along with the runner at the plate.
Jake Crevier, Montalban
and Johnson all had hits for the
Indians. Montalban was on base
three times as he drew a pair of
walks, while Devin Slattery also
reached base by the free pass.

Sports Staff Writer
WEST BROOKFIELD – Had
a few bounces gone the other way,
maybe the Quaboag girls tennis
team would still be playing in the
Central Massachusetts Division 2
Tournament.
The Lady Cougars, who drew
the fourth seed, had a chance to
get the third seed if they had won a
coin flip with Hopedale, which finished with identical 12-4 records.
Quaboag also could have avoided playing fifth-seeded Bromfield
if they had lost their coin flip to
sixth-seeded Gardner.
However, the Lady Cougars did
not get that fortunate and saw their
season come to a close with a 4-1
loss to Bromfield in the quarterfinals.
Quaboag’s lone point in the
match came at first doubles as
Emily Floury and Emily Bouchard
were able to secure a 4-6, 6-4, (108) victory on the courts at West
Brookfield Elementary School.
Quaboag battled hard in all of
its matches as Erica Schlosstein
pushed her opposition hard in the
first set before falling 7-5, 6-0.
Comfort Smythe pushed the
first set of her match to a tiebreak
before falling 7-6 (7-2), 6-1 at

Bankers offense on fire
at season’s start
By Gregory A. Scibelli
[email protected]
HOLYOKE – PeoplesBank
has picked up where they left off,
starting out the 2016 Tri-County
Baseball season with a 4-0 record.
The Bankers have been the playoff champions for the past three
years, combining a massive offensive lineup with a great experienced
pitching staff, and solid defense.
Most of the team has returned
once again this year, the Peoples is
off to a great start.
The Bankers started out the regular season with consecutive wins
over Sampson Funeral Home last
Tuesday and Wednesday evening.
In their second game of the
season, it was a 13-3 drubbing of
Sampson thanks to a great pitching effort from Danny Gaines, and
plenty of offensive production from
their lineup.
Tommy Bouvier, the veteran
leadoff hitter and center fielder,
went 4-for-5 with four base hits.
He started out the game with a
single down the right field line.
He was followed, of course,
by shortstop Ryan Franczek, who
socked a single to left field to put
two runners on.
The league’s Most Valuable
Player from last year, Dave Clark,
then came to the plate and sent a
single to left, plating two runs to
make it 2-0.
Zach Goodwin-Boyd would hit
a ground-rule double to left to plate
the third run of the inning.
In the second, Ware’s Ryan
Swartz singled to lead off the
inning, and was followed by another
hit from Bouvier. Cleanup hitter Ted
Lerud would sacrifice home a run to
make it 4-0.
After a scoreless third inning,
the Bankers would again start off

Swartz kept the cycle going
with a single to left, and Bouvier
drove in a run with a hit to center
to make it 7-1.
With runners on first and second, Franczek was walked, setting
the table for Clark.
After a couple of fouls, Clark
would sock a grand slam over the
left field fence at Van Horn Park
in Springfield to bring in all four
runs and make it a commanding
11-1 lead.
Gaines, meanwhile, breezed
through four innings, only allowing one run. Steve Donah pitched a
scoreless fifth inning, and the game
was then called due to darkness.

NORTH BROOKFIELD – Grace
G. (Ryan) Nelson, 99, passed away
peacefully on Thursday, June 9,
2016, in Quaboag Rehabilitation
& Skilled Care Center in West
Brookfield.
Grace was born in Warren, the
daughter of the late John and Rose
(Hatch) Ryan and has been a lifelong resident of North Brookfield.
She is predeceased by her husband of 56 years, William P.
Chester Urban, 94
AUBURN – Auburn - Chester
"Chet" Urban, 94, passed away
peacefully at home with loving family at his side on
Wednesday, June 1, after a yearlong period of declining health.
Chet married his beloved sweetheart and wife of 63 years, Evelyn
(Brochu) and resided in Auburn
for the last 49 years. He was born
May 27, 1922 in Ware, and was
one of seven children of Martin
and Helen (Czupryna) Urban. He
attended Ware High School and
enlisted in the Army at age 18. A
member of 25th Infantry Division
(Tropic Lightning), Chet was stationed at Schofield Barracks,
Hawaii at the time of the 12/7/41
Pearl Harbor attack, and then
went on to serve in Guadalcanal,
Vella Lavella and Luzon until June
1945. His medals and decorations include Bronze Star, Combat
Infantryman Badge, Asiatic-Pacific
Campaign Medal with four Bronze
Stars, Good Conduct, Philippine
Liberation, American Defense
Service, World War II Victory and
Pearl Harbor Commemorative
Medals. He was a member of
t h e P e a r l H a r b o r S u r v ivo r s
Association, 25th Infantry Division
Association, Disabled American
Vets, American Legion Post 435
and VFW Post 3657 (Worcester).
In April, Chet shared his personal
story and will be part of a World War
II Foundation documentary marking
the 75th Pearl Harbor anniversary
to be aired nationally by PBS in
December. Thanks to the World War
II Foundation for their determination to preserve and keep memories alive of those who served by
reaching out to generations of today
and tomorrow to tell their stories.
Since age 16, Chet worked on
many construction projects including the Quabbin Reservoir and
Massachusetts Turnpike. He had
a keen business mind as a young
man with a strong desire to
own his own business. He
first owned the Brothers
Club in West Warren, and
then owned and operated
the Ivy Cafe of Worcester
for 34 years with his wife.
At age 78, this place he
loved was taken by eminent domain for the Route
146 Turnpike Interchange
Project. Chet always
said "forced" retirement
"slowed him down" and
often wished he was still
working. Over the years, he
faced many uphill personal
battles including multiple
surgeries, advanced colon
cancer in 1997 and suffered
a stroke last May. The family extends their gratitude to the
entire Worcester VNA Hospice team
for their remarkable care and compassion over the last three weeks.
Chet first and foremost cherished
his wife, family and friendships.
His life was full, his wit quick,
conversation always engaging and
"what you saw was what you got."
He strongly believed in mind over
matter and education. He enjoyed
simplicity, nature, a beautiful flower
and vegetable garden, swimming,
a long walk, music and sports. He
had a passion for fishing, history
and political debates. As a hobby,
he owned thoroughbred horses over
the years that raced at Suffolk and
Scarborough Downs, and other
tracks including Blue Bonnets
Raceway in Montreal.
Chet and his wife returned to
Hawaii three times and attended
various military reunions. A few
other special trips included 1973
Kentucky Derby when Secretariat
won the Triple Crown,
2001 Disney family vacation and parasailing in
Manzanillo, Mexico at
a ripe old age while his
wife watched in fear.
Besides his wife,
Evelyn, he leaves his
children, Chester of
Worcester, Robert and
Linda, both of Auburn,
four granddaughters,
Melissa of Chicago,
Illinois, Emily of
Cranston, Rhode Island,
Marilyn of Charlotte,
North Carolina, Jessica of
Shrewsbury, two brothers,
Theodore Urban, of East
Longmeadow, Frederick
Urban (Edna) of Ware, a
sister, Helen Marczyk (Theodore),
of Indian Orchard and many cousins, nieces and nephews. He is
predeceased by brothers Joseph
and Michael, and sister Wanda.
Chet was a longtime supporter of
the Jimmy Fund. In his memory,
donations may be made to DanaFarber Cancer Institute, P.O. Box
849168, Boston, MA. 02284 or via
www.jimmyfund.org/gift.
Per Chet's wishes, there are no
calling hours. Family graveside
services with military honors will
be private with a memorial Mass
to be held at a later date. BrittonWallace Funeral Home, 91 Central
St, Auburn is assisting with arrangements and on-line memories and

Precious is an older dog who needs a loving
home, and can be adopted through Second
Chance Animal Shelter.
Precious needs a loving
retirement home
EAST BROOKFIELD – Precious is an absolutely sweet older girl who is looking for a loving
retirement home. She's does suffer from a hypothyroid issue, causing her some skin issues and
weight problems. We are working hard at getting
her issues under control so she will be as happy
as possible. Precious does get along with other
dogs, but she can be a bit dominant and bossy. She
should meet any other dogs in the home before
adoption. Precious loves everyone and walks well
on a leash.
Apply to adopt Precious today at www.secondchanceanimals.org. Second Chance has an
adoption center in East Brookfield and a veterinary
clinic in North Brookfield.
DOGS
from page 7
Lindsay Doray from
Second Chance Animal
Shelter described the
types of dogs that enter
Project Good Dog.
“We've got a lot of dogs
that are crazy and have
no manners or are scared
to death,” she said. This
is exemplified by Jenna,
a dog who was rescued
from a dog meat facility
in South Korea. Because
Jenna spent her entire life
in a small cage, her paws
are splayed out, and she
has never been on a leash,
been socialized with other
dogs or been trained.
Second Chance trains
the inmates how to teach
these shelter dogs and in
turn, the inmates are able
to provide the dogs with
attentive, round-the-clock
care and training.
Doray said she was
very grateful for the
partnership between
Second Chance Animal
Shelter and the Worcester
County Jail and House
of Correction, “These
dogs would not be here
without your help and
we appreciate that,” she
said. During the ceremony Evangelidis presented
Doray with a citation and
a donation of creates and
dogs beds made on behalf
of Ellie's Pet Barn.
Along with staff from
the prison and animal
shelter, pet owners who
adopted dogs after they
went through Project
Good Dog were also
present. Jamie Lubelczyk
adopted her dog Lucy
about a year ago. Lucy
was one of the first dogs
to go through the program. From the time
she born and until she
was four, Lucy lived in
a crate. As a result, she
had no interaction with
other dogs, other then
her brother, or the outside world. Lubelczyk
was interested in adopting Lucy, but was worried
that her home renovations
at the time would postpone the adoption.
Instead, she was told
by a staff member at the
shelter, “Don't worry,
she's in jail.” Originally
Lucy was a scared dog
with little energy. “She's
a little bit of a princess
now, she thinks it all
about her,” she joked,
adding that Lucy “got
kicked out early” after
six of the eight weeks
because she was getting too attached to her
handler, Bob. Lubelczyk
supports Project Good
Dog, “I think it made a
whole difference for her
[Lucy].”
John and Annmarie
Lapierre adopted their 1year-old Australian sheep
mix Walter on March 31,
and he works at the prison and is one of the staff
members who donated
a pet from Project Good
Dog. As a result, Lapierre
has seen the benefits of
the program first-hand as
both a staff member of
15 years and a pet owner.
“The day he came in, I
fell in love with him,” he
said. Walter loves the
Lapierre's two daughters and cat. “He wants
to be a friend with everyone,” he said. Lapierre
saw Walter on a regular
basis as he worked which
helped the transition during adoption. According
to Lapierre, the transformation the Project Good
Dog has on inmates is like
“night and day. It gives
them a sense of pride, a
sense of meaning.”
Twenty-six inmates
Art teacher recognized by MLH
An inmate at the Worcester
County Jail and House of
Correction plays around with
some of the shelter dogs
have participated in
Project Good Dog since
the program began a year
ago. Roger Holm recently
began training his first
shelter dog, Walker, a 10month-old redbone coonhound. After 34 months
in jail, Holm was eager
to be transferred to the
work-release facility
and join the Good Dog
Project.
He has been training
Walker for five weeks
and says he is a, “He's a

pered,” he said of Walker,
who he has been training
for five weeks. “Patience,
I've definitely learned
patience, and giving
back,” Holm said of the
Good Dog Project.
Holm will miss his pal
Walker when he is adopted. Every morning at 5
a.m., Walker jumps into
Holm's bed to sleep next
to him. Holm talked about
his bond with Walker, “To
me, dogs mean family.
Without a dog, my family
was not complete.”
WARE – Ware Junior
Senior High School art
teacher Pam Grant was
recognized Monday
for her work in providing Baystate Mary Lane
Hospital with student art
to brighten the walls of
that institution.
Michelle Holmgren and
Teresa Grove of Baystate
Health East presented
Grant with a certificate
thanking her for her work
since 2003.
“She immediately
rose to the occasion and
brought us 15 to 20 pieces
of art work that February”
Holmgren said. She had
asked Grant to provide the
art, and when it arrived, it
far surpassed Holmgren's
expectations.
“It was like Christmas,

the pieces were intended
as a way to honor them.
Holmgren and Grove
said visitors and patients,

long corridors cheery for
all. Holmgren said the
hospital saw 79,400 people pass through its doors
last year, so many people
get to see the art.
WJSHS Principal
Darren Elwell said he
was impressed when he
accompanied the Grant
and the students two years
ago as they dropped off
the art work at the hospital. He described walking
down corridor after corridor lined with the works.
“I was struck by the volume,” he said.
“So many of you go
about what you do quietly and continuously that
we're not always aware
of what you're doing,” he
said, adding that recognition of Grant's work was
an important way to call
attention to good work
going on in the school.

SCHOOL
from page 1
Charles “Chuck” McQuaid, Roberta McQuaid's brother, has provided seed money for the school to get started.
He has had a successful career as a venture capitalist in
Chicago, and just recently retired.
“I've been very successful and I've supported higher
education,” he said, referring to a scholarship and professorship he created at Umass Amherst. “But I got to thinking that grammar school is the foundation of your work
ethic and character, so I think it's important to support
that.”
McQuaid said he also believes it's important for parents to have a Catholic grammar school within a reasonable drive of the Ware area, which this will be.
He said he attended St. Mary's School in first grade,
when it was in the basement of the church, and in second
grade, his class was in the new building when it opened.
Roberta McQuaid said she and her four siblings all
attended St. Mary's.
She also said it was twisting road over the last six
months as the parents looked for a suitable site. “At first
we had hoped to rent the St. Mary’s School building and
grounds,” she said. “When that turned out to be impossible, we looked at lots of other public locations but were
finally led back to a parish, St. Aloysius in Gilbertville,
which housed a school until the 1970s.”
McQuaid said Father Richard Lembo, pastor of St.
Aloysius Church, has been incredibly supportive of the
school, including securing architectural plans for the
space through a friend, Neil Gage, saving the parents lots
of money in the process.
Although St. Mary’s and St. Aloysius are but 10 minutes apart, they are governed by different dioceses. “My
first call to the Worcester Diocese, to the superintendent
Dr. Delma Josephson, was full of support for our cause,”
said McQuaid. “She was just amazing, offering us all
kinds of help, speaking to Bishop McManus on our
behalf, and even sending out a call for desks and other
school furniture.”
Some of the former teachers at St. Mary's will be
making the transition to the new school, she said. Among
them is Jennifer McNally, who pioneered the pre-school
program at St. Mary’s eight years ago and is a past
recipient of the Pioneer Valley Teacher of Excellence
award, and Kathy Knight, who taught for three years
at St. Mary’s, but is also a longtime veteran of Quarry
Hill School in Monson. Science teacher Mickey Novak,
who spent 37 years working for the U.S. Fisheries and
Wildlife Service, will also be joining St. Aloysius, as will
Nancy Mangari, who will continue to teach St. Aloysius’
children the Spanish language and expand the curriculum
with more in-depth studies of Spanish speaking countries
and culture, McQuaid said.
She also said the parents are excited about being able
to provide their children with a school where God is in
the classrooms. “We're just so excited about it, and we
have a very busy summer ahead of us,” she said, with the
school to be refurbished over the next couple of months
by volunteers and professional contractors.
“There is going to be a lot of heavy lifting, but there's
a very good chance that it will succeed,” said Chuck
McQuaid. The school will need support for the first few
years, but once it gets established it is expected to be
self-sustaining, he said.
St. Aloysius will closely follow the Quabbin Region
School District calendar, with the 2016/2017 school year
beginning on Aug. 30. It is now accepting applications
for pre-school through sixth-grade. For more information, to sign up for the Saint Aloysius newsletter, or to
