‘BRA Day’ educates
women on options after
breast cancer
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – With a mother who is a 15-year breast cancer survivor, and an aunt who
is almost five years breast cancer free, 47-year-old Maribel
Sepulveda of Chicopee already
knew what it meant the day her
doctor recommended she “bring
a close relative” with her to hear
the results of her biopsy.
During her annual mammogram appointment in January,
Sepulveda’s doctor said that
there had been some changes
since last year’s test. Doctors
then recommended a biopsy.
Initially, the biopsy showed that
she had an intermediate ductal
carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) in the
left breast and the right breast
was given the “all clear.” Left
untreated DCIS can go on to
become an invasive cancer.
“I kind of always knew
this was going to happen,” she
said of receiving the news.
“But I figured, like my mother, I would probably just have
a lumpectomy performed and
some radiation.”
Through further testing
with an MRI, results revealed
that her condition was far more
extensive the originally though.
Not only was there an additional spot on her left breast, on
her right breast, they discovered
that she had what was called a
high-grade, fast-moving DCIS.
“Right then and there I

Charlie Baker has proclaimed October “Cyber
S e c u r i t y Aw a r e n e s s
Month” in Massachusetts
in conjunction with the
Department of Homeland
Security’s National Cyber
Security Awareness Month,
to engage and educate both
the public and private sectors about preparedness
for issues related to cyber
security.
“This month is a great
opportunity to raise awareness about the importance
of cyber security for the
people of Massachusetts,
our businesses, and
state government,” said
Baker. “The cyber security field also represents
a great opportunity for
Massachusetts to utilize the
multidisciplinary collection
of assets and capacities in
our universities, our industries and our government
to be a leader globally in
cybersecurity services.”
“We recognize that the
single most important element of cyber security for
constituents is safeguarding
their private, personal information,” said Kevin Burns,
t h e C o m m o n w e a l t h ’s
Chief Information Security
Officer. “Ensuring privacy
and security to the greatest
possible extent is central to
our work and to help us in
that endeavor, we are fortunate to actively collaborate and partner with the
nation’s most critical players in this space – from the
Department of Homeland
Security and Multi-State
Information Sharing &
Analysis Center to industry-leading private sector
organizations.” The Commonwealth’s
cyber security operation is
led by MassIT’s Enterprise
Security Office, which is
responsible for making sure
state data is private, secure,
accurate, and available to
those who need it. The
Enterprise Security Office
works with groups on both
the federal and municipal
level to share information
and defend against any
threats. To raise awareness
throughout the month of
October, MassIT will be
posting new content on
the state’s cyber security
homepage: www.mass.
gov/cybersecurity. A digital cyber security awareness campaign using billboards like the one below
will also run throughout
the state as part of the
Massachusetts Department
of Transportation’s Public

Montcalm Street fire
claims two
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – As of
presstime, the State Fire
Marshal’s Office and the
Chicopee Fire Department
are investigating the cause of
the fire that claimed the lives
of an 87-year-old woman
and 60-year-old man.
The fire at the 82
Montcalm St. single-family, ranch-style, 1950’s-era
home was fully engulfed
in flames when firefighters arrived on scene on
Sunday morning.
“Our firefighters have reported seeing
heavy black smoke and
flames shortly after leaving the station,” said Dean
F. Desmarais, acting fire
chief for the Chicopee Fire
Department.
The call came in at
approximately 7:43 a.m.
When firefighters from the
Fairview station arrived,
he said that they tried to
make initial entry into the
home after discovering
that there were people still
inside, but the circumstances prevented them.
Firefighters were forced to
fight the fire from outside
of the dwelling. Though
three occupants were able
to safely escape out of the
structure, two unfortunately perished. The Pioneer
Valley Church of Christ
Church opened up their
doors to help the family
during their time of need.
The American Red Cross
also assisted the family
and firefighters fighting
the fire.
“Our condolences go
out to family members as
they grieve over this very
unfortunate situation,” said
Desmarais.
Police have identified the mother and son
as Brigitte Niebergall and
Mark Boucher.
The destruction of
the fire left the structure
so dilapidated that heavy
equipment had to be
brought in to help stabilize and sift through the
rubble, he said. The structure has been deemed a
total loss.
As of Monday, investigators have still not
determined the cause of
the fire. A family pet has
also not been accounted
for.
Firefighters received
assisted battling the
blaze from those from
Willimansett and Chicopee
Center fire stations as well
as some assistance from
Westover Air Reserve
Base in manning the station.

made up my mind that I
wanted the bilateral mastectomy,” said Sepulveda.
“I had been called back
in for the last two years
for the left breast and now
there could possibly be
something going on with
the right breast also? For
me, it was a no brainer.” Though her doctor made sure to present
options to Sepulveda, she
knew what she wanted.
“It’s a very personal
decision, but for me, it was
the right one,” she said.
Her doctor also
referred her to plastic surgeon Dr. Melissa Johnson
in Springfield to perform
her reconstructive surgery
immediately following her
mastectomy on May 20.
“Now when a woman
undergoes a mastectomy,
there’s no need to actually
remove the entire breast,”
said Johnson, “Rather, a
skin sparing mastectomy
removes only the breast
tissue. Skin sparing mastectomies are oncologically sound and performed
approximately 75 percent
of the time in my practice.
There are many options
for women to consider for
breast reconstruction.”
Sepulveda said that
it was important for her
to make women aware
of their options following a mastectomy, which
is the very purpose of

Donor Services, the nonprofit organ transplant
coordinator for most of
Connecticut and Western
Massachusetts, which
seeks to build awareness
about the use of donated
tissue in breast reconstruction, Sepulveda hopes her
story touches many lives.
“I want women to
know how important it
is to follow through with
mammograms,” she said.
“They save lives.”
LifeChoice Donor
Services, Inc. is a federal- designated, non-profit
organ procurement organization for six counties in Connecticut and
three counties in Western
Massachusetts with a combined population of 2.3
million people. The OPO
serves twenty-three acute
care hospitals for organ
and tissue donation and
two organ transplant hospitals, Hartford Hospital in
Hartford, Connecticut and
Baystate Medical Center
in Springfield.
According to Johnson,
donor skin is processed
to remove all of the living cells as part of the
reconstructed surgery. The
acellular dermal matrix/
grafts (ADM) are used to
create permanent scaffolds
to reform the breast. The
grafts are sutured to allow
for a more natural shape
and better breast fold on
the lower portion of the
breast.
“Prior to ADMs, surgeons would elevate a lateral muscle,” adds Johnson.
“The grafts will actually
get incorporated into the
normal chest wall tissues,
whereas a foreign body
such as prosthetic mesh
will not. It is less painful
and the cosmetic results
are generally better.”
Generally, there are
three options in breast
reconstruction following a mastectomy; reconstruction using implants,
autologous reconstruction
breast – which is “borrowed” from another part
of the body – and autologous tissue with implant.
“It is amazing what
can be done with donated
tissues thanks to science,
research and technology,”
said Sepulveda. “Women
can make more informed
decisions. I had a wonderful support system
from my family, friends,
co-workers and my exhusband. I never thought
twice about my decision.
I knew it was the right one
for me. It’s a very personal
choice and we are so fortunate to have many different
options available to us.” After some research,
Sepulveda decided that,
ultimately, the use of
donor tissue was the best
treatment for her. On May
20, she said goodbye to
“Thelma and Louise” for
her mastectomy and said
hello to tissue expanders she playfully named
“Bonnie and Clyde.” And
on Sept. 8, Bonnie and
Clyde were removed and
to make way for “Laverne
and Shirley”, high profile
saline permanent implants
were inserted. She chose
the names of the famous
pair because they were the
“kind of ladies that stick
together.”
Throughout the entire
process, Sepulveda said
she’s seen the diagnosis as
a blessing.
“I don’t have the right
to be sad about things,”
she said. “I have my life
and that’s a gift.”

Lesser hosts tour of Greater Springfield’s manufacturing industry
CHICOPEE – State
S e n . E r i c P. L e s s e r
(D-Longmeadow),
Senate chair of the Joint
Legislative Manufacturing
Caucus, hosted a tour of
local manufacturers this
week to promote employm e n t g r ow t h i n t h e
manufacturing sector in
Western Massachusetts.
“ We ’r e f a c i n g a
real crossroads here in
Western Mass,” Lesser
said. “In the next 10
years, a lack of skilled
workers means that more
than 40,000 advanced
manufacturing job vacancies will go unfilled in
Massachusetts.”
Senator Lesser
wa s j o i n e d b y s t a t e
Sen. James Welch (DWest Springfield), state
Rep. Brian Ashe (DLongmeadow), Mayor
Richard Kos and several
local business and community leaders throughout the day.

State Sen. Eric P. Lesser recently hosted a tour of the area’s manufacturing industry,
which included a stop at Menck Windows in Chicopee, which manufactures custom
energy-efficient windows and doors for clients throughout North America.
expanding job training
and getting more people
interested in filling these
positions, and we do that
by showing that these
jobs are high-tech and
have average salaries that
can approach $75,000 a
year,” he said.
The tour is part
of a month-long series
of events celebrating
“Manufacturing Month,”
which began with a State
House ceremony co-hosted by Lesser and attended
by Gov. Charlie Baker.
Stops on the tour
included:
• Menck Windows in
Chicopee, which manufactures custom energyefficient windows and
doors for clients throughout North America.
The 75,000 square-foot
Chicopee plant opened
in May 2015 and was
developed in partnership
with Menck-Fenster of
Hamburg,
Germany.
• Maybury Material
Handling in East
Longmeadow, one of
the largest material handling companies in the
Northeast that has over 80
employees and is a distributor for approximately
1,300 manufacturers.
• Excel Dryer in
E a s t L o n g m e a d o w,
which manufacturers
hand/hair dryers sold
worldwide, including the
XLERATOR, which is
the only hand dryer that
is “Made In USA” certified and the first to be
GreenSpec® listed.
• Hasbro/Cartamundi
in East Longmeadow,
which manufactures 18
million games per year
and is known worldwide
for brands like Sorry,
Monopoly and Operation.
To s u p p o r t t h e
manufacturing sector in Massachusetts,
Senator Lesser successfully secured $1.5 million
in the FY16 budget to
expand a training program
for workers interested in
precision manufacturing.
Senator Lesser also
secured money to establish advanced manufacturing programs in several Springfield-area high
schools via the Lower
Pioneer Valley Educational
Collaborative.
Manufacturing in
Massachusetts encompasses nearly 7,700 companies and generates $43
billion in annual revenue.
Senate passes opiate
addiction prevention bill
BOSTON - The
Massachusetts Senate
passed legislation to
address the ongoing substance abuse crisis in the
state. The legislation
focuses on prevention
and reducing the number
of opiate pills in circulation by working with doctors, insurance companies,
pharmaceutical companies, and pharmacists.
In addition, the bill
provides for verbal screenings by a qualified and
properly trained professional to ask middle and
high school children
about their attitudes and
behaviors about drugs and
alcohol to prevent further misuse of drugs and
refer at-risk teens to treatment to stem the tide of
the crisis. By expanding
a prescription take back
program, the bill seeks to
further limit the excessive number of unwanted
and unused prescription
pills that become accessible to youth and adults
for diversion and misuse,
and hold private companies accountable for their
role in the substance abuse
epidemic. The bill also
establishes a patient right
to fill their prescription
for a schedule II opiate,
the highest risk classification under DEA rules, in a
quantity less than the full
prescribed amount, further
reducing the quantity of
unused and excess drugs.
Provisions of the legislation include:
• Adding Screening,
Brief Intervention, and
Referral to Treatment
(SBIRT) to the list of
screenings a school conducts to identify youth
engaging in risky or abusive behaviors and matching them with appropriate services before they
become dependent on
drugs
• Increasing access to
specialists who specialize in pain management
and treatment by creating a program for remote
consulting for physicians
working with individuals
experiencing chronic pain
and creating a holistic plan
for each patient, similar to
the model used for access
to child psychiatry. • Requiring pharmaceutical companies to
establish or participate
in drug-take back programs to further reduce
the number of pills accessible in homes or pay an
assessment into a prevention trust fund based on
the quantity of the product being dispensed in
Massachusetts
• Protect “Good
Samaritans” who administer naloxone to an overdose victim from civil liability. Currently the state
only guarantees protection

W
ith statistics like 2.8 million
breast cancer survivors living
in the United States right now,
there’s no way women should be forgoing
a mammogram for any reason.
The key to continually seeing that number of survivors increase is early detection.
Knowledge is everything. Mammograms
are a must.
Because of mammograms, according
to cancer.org, 226,900 breast cancer deaths
have been averted since 1989. Early detection leads to more successful treatments.
Mammograms can even detect cancer
before symptoms appear. Still, 30 percent
of insured women aged 40 and older are
not getting a mammogram. That percentage increases to 62 percent when it comes
to uninsured women.
Massachusetts requires private insurance companies, public employee health
plans and Medicaid to provide coverage
for annual mammograms for those 40 years
old and above.
Those with a family history of breast
cancer should talk to their doctor about
establishing a baseline through a mammogram earlier.
For those without symptoms of breast
cancer but who have been diagnosed with
the disease via a mammogram, the cancer tends to be small and confined to the
breast, according to the American Cancer
Society. In this case, size matters.
Young adults and those in their 30s
are not exempt from being diagnosed with
breast cancer despite the lessened risk that
comes with their age group.
Clinical breast exams should be performed by doctors at least every three
years. Young women should also ask their
doctors to show them the techniques for
performing self-exams. With these exams,
young women can establish what their
breasts feel like and understand what is
normal, giving then the chance to detect
when something doesn’t feel right – at
which point they should contact their doctor.
Again, knowledge is everything.
October designated as National Breast
Cancer Awareness Month provides an
opportunity for mothers to talk to their
daughters about breast cancer and selfexams, for sisters to remind one another
to schedule an exam, for friends to gently
prod one another that it’s time to begin
what should be an annual tradition.
The conversation about prevention
should not be limited to just women. Men,
too, can be diagnosed with breast cancer,
and they also should be kept in the know.
Be good to yourself – receive a mammogram to establish a baseline if you have
yet to do so or if you’re 40 years old or
above and have not had a mammogram.
Pass that good onto someone else and urge
those you love to talk to their doctors about
early prevention.
Knowledge is everything.

Is an ATM Card-Carrying Loss a Balancing Act?
By Joan E. B. Coombs
Guest Columnist
H
andling an Automatic Teller Machine
card-carrying loss, even temporarily, has its unnerving affects. When it
happens, especially if it’s unexpected, it’s puzzling, to say the least, of that most exasperating circumstance.
An ATM experience of contortionist consequences happened last week. And this person chooses to remain anonymous.
On a recent bright October afternoon,
said person was running business errands for
an upcoming, strategic school event. Materials
sought and bought. Timeframes met. Lunch
hour brake stop. Mission accomplished.
Well, almost.
Said person set his personal ATM card on
car dashboard-only for a split second-- while
sorting receipts.
Was the car parked on an incline? Who
knows why it happened? Autumn freefall?
Whatever the cause- his ATM card slid
DOWN INTO the car’s heater/defroster vent.
“That didn’t happen.”
“It’s gone. ”
“Can you see it?”
“No.”
Even after many attempts, long, slim,
metal tongs couldn’t rescue or recover the
bankcard.
Perhaps we’ve all, on occasion, seen
trucks, vans and cars dashboards layered
with stacked papers, business cards, invoices,
and register receipts (you name it) that could
seemingly compete with Mount Rushmore?
And, we’ve wondered, “How in the world can
they see beyond their windshield? Have they
ever been stopped for inside stockpiles? "
Well, returning to the squeaky-clean,
insider scenario: ‘He had NEVER put
ANYTHING on a dashboard before. Ever.
(And, by the way, it will never happen again.).
Meanwhile, when back at school, a clever
colleague, who is very familiar with Asian
fine dining, casually suggested:
“Try using double-stick tape on Chinese
chopsticks!”
Thankfully, two, slender, sticky stems
retrieved that renegade card.
So, I’m inclined to feel that any ATM
loss, depending on your position, is more than
just a few balancing acts.
Joan Coombs shares a weekly series of
light humor – “slices of life, fresh from the
oven of experience” – through her column.

Promoting Innovation in Government

W
e live in a time when technology is transforming almost every
aspect of our lives, from how we
shop and travel (Amazon, Airbnb, Uber), to
how we communicate and find entertainment
(Facebook, Instagram, Netflix). Thanks to
mobile Internet, almost all human knowledge is now accessible with a few taps on the
Smartphone in your pocket.
But one sector that has been very slow to
change is government. As a result, our state
government is not as efficient or responsive
as it needs to be. Just one small example:
after taking office this January as the youngest member of the Massachusetts Senate, I
flipped open my laptop to get to work. I was
surprised to learn the State House still doesn’t
have Wi-Fi. Every day, I hear from constituents who
spend hours waiting in lines, making endless
phone calls, and taking time off from work
to handle routine government business that

letters to the editor
Spirit of Howard Street will not be boarded up
To the Editor:
Now that the attempt to site Western
Massachusetts Correctional Addiction
Center on Wason Avenue in the North
End of Springfield is behind us, I wanted
to take the opportunity to share with my
fellow citizens some final thoughts on
the matter.
First of all, I know that some very
good folks will consider themselves
“winners’” because the siting was not
successful, and I don’t begrudge them
their feeling that way. For my part, I honestly don’t believe that there are ultimately any real winners if we fail to keep
the good work of Howard Street alive
somewhere in our community.
If I have one regret, it is that I
didn’t better communicate to the people of the neighborhood that the Center
would directly serve their neighborhood.
Currently on my inmate census, I have
160 individuals who list a North End
address as their residence and who will
be returning to that neighborhood. The
Center would have directly helped these
individuals be more successful in reentering the community, in a gradual,
supported and supervised way. Siting a correctional facility is
always hard. Having been through the
ringer in our attempt to site our main
facility in the 1990’s, I once joked in a
speech that in an attempt to avoid opposition to sites in Hampden County, I decided to locate the facility in Timbuktu, but
within the hour heard from the newly
formed “No Jail In Timbuktu” committee.
Somewhere along the way a David
and Goliath story emerged regarding the
attempt to site the center in the North
End, as if the Sheriff’s Department was
some sort of Goliath. As we said along
the way, the real ‘Goliath’ is substance
abuse and addiction, which is destroying
lives, and families and neighborhoods
and communities.
When all is said and done, (and all
is said and done as regards the Wason
Avenue site), my job, if I really want to
serve the public good, is to find a home
for the Correctional Addiction Center
that was so successful and so beloved in
Springfield for 30 years, and which was
forced out by plans for the Casino.
One thing we do know – community
corrections works. There is a 31 percent
less return to jail rate for those released
from our lower security operations than
those released directly from our Main
Institution in Ludlow. Gradual, support-
Hours aren’t available when we are
To the Editor:
Only around 15 percent of Chicopee’s just
over 12,000 seniors use the
new senior center; most
do not. Why? Perhaps
because Chicopee’s new
$8 million facility ($20
million when Brown Field

could probably be completed with a few swipes
on an iPhone. Recent highprofile mishaps, from the
flawed rollout of the Health
Connector to the errorplagued transition to a new
computer system for unemployment benefits, have
made it painfully clear that
failing to properly incorporate new technology comes
at significant cost. This
isn’t about big government
or small government: it’s
about efficient government.
Massachusetts, as one of
our nation’s great innovation centers, can and must
do better.
Locally, we’ve seen
how new technology can
improve government services. The police departments in Belchertown and
Ludlow use “text a tip” to
follow leads. ShotSpotter,
a technology that tracks
the location of gunshots,
helps to quickly and accurately dispatch police.
Operating hours should
fit their availability, not
seniors fit its hours. Senior
tax dollars built and pay
for its operation. Studies
indicate eighty percent
of U.S. workers plan to
work after retirement age;
sixty-two percent of baby
boomers plan to delay
retirement. Reasons vary
from need to just wanting
to continue working.
Are you are a senior
for whom Chicopee’s
senior center hours do not
fit your lifestyle? Would
you use it evening and/or
weekends? Do you need
or want more programs
geared towards 21st century seniors?
If you answered yes to
any question, you are part
of what is probably the
largest voting age group
in the city. With an election just around the corner,
contact your Chicopee city
at-large and ward councilors and ask why your
senior center isn’t available when you are. Chicopee recently set up
free Wi-Fi, and Boston
has an entire unit dedicated to using technology
to improve city services, from fixing potholes
to tracking your child’s
school bus.
Other states have
good examples to learn
from, as well. Connecticut
setup a program to collect and analyze motor
vehicle crash data, giving law enforcement new
tools to improve traffic
patterns. Utah’s Open
Data Catalog improves
government transparency
by consolidating various types of state data in
one location, so citizens
have easy access to state
maps, demographic info,
and more detail about how
their tax dollars are spent.
I hope to bring more
initiatives like these to
Western Massachusetts, so
we can improve government services and make
our Commonwealth more
transparent and efficient.
That’s why I’m currently working on several initiatives to promote
more innovation in government. I co-sponsored
the Innovate Communities
Bill, filed by Senator
Karen Spilka, which
passed the Senate over
the summer. This legislation would encourage
tech startups to partner
with cities and towns on
new ways to deliver services. The Massachusetts
Technology Collaborative
has recommended a new
“Center for Excellence” to
focus on how to use technology to improve government across various
departments, from healthcare and energy to education and transportation.
Technology is rapidly changing the world
by speeding up the delivery of goods, services, and
information while increasing transparency and
accountability.
It’s time we do the
same for state government.

Thank you kind stranger
To the Editor:
I am writing this email
to thank two kind strangers who helped me out
yesterday in the self check
out lane at the Chicopee
Stop and Shop. I was paying for my groceries and
had paid 3/4 in cash and
wanted to put the rest on
my card. I wasn’t able to
find my card which I lost
and I was very flustered. I
had asked the attendant if
she could cancel my order
because I couldn’t find my
card. She told me that she
couldn’t since I had paid
for part of it in cash. I was
holding up the lane and I
was mortified that this was
happening to me. I didn’t
know what to do. Then the
kind gentleman behind me
offered to pick up the rest
of my bill, which wasn’t
just a couple of bucks. A
second gentleman helped
my daughter check out
after my incident. I can’t
express how thankful I
am. Your kindness is very
much appreciated. I am
extremely thankful that
there are still kind people
like you in this world. I
will definitely pay it forward and wanted you to
say thank you!

Set in 1961 during
the Stalinist dictatorship,
the movie pushes still fur-
ther into the past; almost
every element in the story
evokes the war years and
their aftermath.
Ida won the 2015
Academy Award for Best

In a majestic convent,
an orphaned young woman
- a novice named Anna
(Agata Trzebuchowska) is ordered by her Mother
Superior to visit her aunt
in Lodz before she takes
orders. A minor state judge
and Communist Party
member, Wanda Gruz
(Agata Kulesza) tells her
niece that her real name
is Ida Lebenstein, and that
she’s Jewish—a “Jewish
nun,” she says. But Wanda
has mysteries of her own
and scores to settle: Ida’s
mother was her beloved
sister.

lately and I thought it
would make sense to have
the mayor come down and
talk about his plan to try
and stop the crime there,”
said Wilk.
Kos interacted with a
few residents who came
through the restaurant
for breakfast, and further detailed the plans for
downtown cameras.
I n f o r m a t i o n
Technology Director Bob
Lisewell was also on
hand, and said the plans to
install cameras downtown
have been in place for a
long time.
According to him, the
original plan was developed in 2008, but was
never funded. With the
increase in gang activity,
Kos went to the Chicopee
City Council and requested it be funded immediately. The measure has
since been approved. The
testing process will be
starting this week, Liswell
said.
“We will be experimenting with the locations
this week and hopefully
move forward from there
with the installation of the
cameras,” he said.
In addition to the cameras, Kos said Chicopee
Electric and Light will be
installing additional lighting downtown. The cameras and lighting will cost
about $200,000.
“These are highgrade, high-tech cameras,” said Wilk. “We will
be able to see a lot and
be able to identify people
involved in crimes. It also
will be a deterrent for
activity in the area.”
Kos said the cameras can also help in other
areas, such as footage for
accidents or other events.
“There is always a time
where someone wishes
they had it on video,” said
Kos. “Now we will have
in the city
that ability.”
Not only will the
camera footage be available live by the Chicopee
Police Department, but
Liswell says eventually,
citizens will be able to
look at the camera footage
from the city’s website
online from their homes.
Wilk says Chicopee
Police dispatchers will be
monitoring the cameras,
but patrol and walking
beats will continue as well.
“What we are doing
is a saturation of the area
in an effort to reduce the
gang activity,” said Wilk.
“We have additional police
patrols and bicycles as
well as foot patrols.”
He also said the
police department will be
opening a satellite office
in the downtown area for
residents and business
owners to be able come
in an access officers in a
relaxed environment.
“It is just another way
that residents will be able
to access us,” said Wilk.
Since making the
camera and saturation
announcement with Chief
William Jebb on Sept.
29, there have been several arrests of gang members. Many of them came
on outstanding warrants.
The arrests have helped
the police department gain
some insight into the gang
activity.
“We learned more
about the people involved
in recruiting youth into
their gangs,” said Wilk.
Wi l k s a y s g a n g
members have ranged
from ages 13 and 21 and
are being recruited by
adults in the gang. They
have been mostly getting
around the downtown area
on bicycles.
Efforts to curb the
gang activity are ongoing
and residents are strongly encouraged to report
any suspicious activity to the Chicopee Police
Department.

Students also assisted
with shoe repair and leather work with the local cobbler and became involved
with multiple art projects
that are sold at H.O.M.E.’s
gift shop. In addition, volunteering at a local daycare and day camp featured hiking, go-carting
and a visit to a rope course,
all resulting in great fun
for everyone involved. To
complete the service trip,
the students dug trenches
to help begin the process
of starting a watering system in a greenhouse and
also volunteered for lawn
work.
The experience proved to be an important lesson for the student athletes at Elms College who
learned that the “homeless”
population here may be
down, but they are far from
out. It also gave credence
to the value of community,
shared goals, shared work,

institution’s mission of
service,” added Matt Dyer,

Executive Office of Elder Affairs receives $600,000
BOSTON – The
Massachusetts Executive
Office of Elder Affairs
(EOEA) announced it
received a three-year,
$600,000 grant for the
A l z h e i m e r ’s d i s e a s e
Supportive Services
Program from the U. S.
Administration on Aging
(AOA).
The grant will enable
the agency to create a
dementia-capable system
of home and community-based services and
supports. A dementiacapable system is one that
can identify individuals
with dementia and connect
them with optimal services provided by dementia-
trained staff. Ultimately
the training provided
through this grant will
have an impact on quality
of life for thousands living
with Alzheimer’s disease
across the Commonwealth.
The objectives of the grant
are to:
· Create and sustain a
comprehensive dementiacapable home and community-based services system
with “No Wrong Door”
access for individuals with
dementia and their caregivers.
· Ensure access to a
system of culturally competent, high quality dementia-capable home and community based services.
• Weights

• Group Exercise
Classes
Development of ‘No
Wrong Door’ access to
dementia-capable services
enhances access to community-based services. A
‘No Wrong Door’ system
connects individuals with
the appropriate program
or service more seamlessly. Grant funding will
improve the capacity of
the system to serve individuals with Alzheimer’s
and their caregivers by
providing training options
for counselors, information
and referral specialists,
care transitions coaches
and Medicaid enrollment

Colts roll up
Hurricanes
By Nate Rosenthal
Turley Publications
Sports Correspondent
CHICOPEE - The Comp
football team made it five in a
row since their season opening
loss to Hoosac, as they rolled
past Amherst, 35-7.
A safety in the first quarter
opened the scoring and then a
15-yard touchdown pass from
Trevor Johnson to Cam Kagan
made it 9-0. Amherst got on
the board with a second quarter
touchdown and trailed by just
two. A 5-yard run by Andrew
Hernandez and a 15-yard reception by Kagan changed that in
a hurry. At the half it was 237. Comp added touchdowns in
the third on a 10-yard catch by
Austin Clapp and in the fourth
a 5-yard run Ricardo Cruz for
the final.
Kagan had five receptions
on the day and scored twice.
Mason Labonte ran 12 times for
104 yards.
The Colts, 5-1, have a big
one scheduled this week against
5-0 Agawam, who have been not
only berating opponents but running roughshod. The Brownies
have scored 226 points and
have allowed just 19 in those
five games. This game is for the
Suburban Conference lead and
a likely number one seed in the
Division 2 playoffs.
The Pacers broke into the
win column last week with a
win over Amherst, but were
beaten soundly by Northampton,
43-16. They stayed with the
Blue Devils for a quarter, 8-0
giving up a touchdown midway
through the frame.
Fourteen seconds into the
second, the Blue Devil put
another eight on the board and
then made it 22-0 with 4:37 to
go in the half. Chicopee broke
through at 3:45 on a 36-yard run
by Isaiah Jackson and a twopoint conversion by Ramiro
Cruz. Northampton got those
eight back a 1:30 later. It was
30-8 at the break. A touchdown
in the third and again in the
fourth opened the lead to 43-8.
Jackson scored on a 6-yard run
with 1:39 left in the game. Cruz
got the two.
Jackson carried the ball
17 times for 102 yards, scoring twice. But the Northampton
ground attack was too much,
324-171, for Chicopee High.
The Pacers are 1-4 and will
take on South Hadley this week
Despite their record, they still
have shot at being one of the
four teams in the Division 2
playoffs.

WILBRAHAM - The
matchup between Chicopee
High and Minnechaug was one
of the most highly anticipated
games of the season. A year
ago, they were the number two
(Chicopee) and number three
(Minnechaug) seeds in Division
1.
Little has changed this
season, with the Lady Falcons
coming into this game undefeated and the Lady Pacers having lost just once. It should
come as no surprise that the
final score of this game was 1-0
and that the goal came after 64
minutes of scoreless play. The
only thing closer was last year
when Chicopee won their semifinal in a shootout, that coming
after 100 minutes of 0-0. In
any event, the Falcons, with the
win remain undefeated, while
the Pacers lost just their second
game.
While the final score was
1-0, the Falcons dominated
the play, getting 15 shots on
goal to the Pacers six. Nine
of those shots were in the first
half Minnechaug had several
chances, less so for Chicopee.
But, in the end, the game was as
close as it could be.

Lady Colts keep tourney hopes alive
By Nate Rosenthal
Turley Publications
CHICOPEE - The Chicopee
Comp volleyball program has
been one of the best in Western
Mass for many years and that
extends to both the boys and
girls. This year the girls team
is struggling like it has not in
recent memory. At this point,
every game is crucial, if they
want to have a place in the postseason. The Colts kept those
hopes alive with a 3-1 win over
East Longmeadow.
By virtue of losing their
first five matches, they put
themselves in a hole. Having
split the next eight, things have
improved, but with nine losses
on the season, their margin of
error to qualify on overall record
has disappeared the overall path
to qualifying has closed. The
Colts have a chance to make it
through the league, but even
there, it will be difficult.
The match with East
Longmeadow, at the outset, was
all Comp. They scored the first
eight points, getting six aces
from Allyson Desjeans to start
off the match. Comp was an
easy winner, 25-9. Staring off
with a 5-0 lead in the second,
they were in control for the
entire set and cruised to a 2518 victory. In the third, they
could never get into any rhythm
and they fell behind early. The
deficit got to ten and despite
a couple of minor runs to try
and close the gap, the Colts lost
25-13. The fourth set was not
an easy one. Comp took the
lead from the outset and, in fact,
trailed last at 5-4, but they could
not lose the Spartans. They
would go up by six only to see
East Longmeadow tie it a couple of times. It took a late run
where they scored nine of the
final 13 points to secure the victory at 25-20.
In the first set, Molly
Willette scored with a kill to
give Comp a 1-0 lead. Desjeans
started as the server. and she
found several holes the other
side of the net. Her first six
serves were not returned and
all were aces. A tip by Brittani
Cundiff made it 8-0. After a

sustain it and they saw
East Longmeadow come
back to tie it a16-16. A
big ace by Alyssa Landry
put them up 18-16 and
Cundiff followed with a
kill. From their they put
some space between themselves and the Spartans
and went on to win, 25-20.
They played Ludlow
two days alter and did not
fare so well losing three to
one. After losing the first
set, 25-19, they evened the
match with a 25-14 win in
the second. Both losses,
25-20 and 15-17 ended
their day. The Colts are
4-9 overall and with just
four to play,, they cannot
get in by overall record.
They are 3-3 in league and
have two to play, against
Westfield and Westside.
They beat the Bombers,
but lost to the Terriers.
They have to win at least
one of those to even have
a chance.

In the first minute,
Caleigh O’Brien sent
a 15-yarder wide right.
Chicopee’s first shot came
in the fourth as Bella
Eduardo was on goal
from 20 yards. Tamra
Zippin made the save.
In the same minute, the
Lady Falcons got a corner kick and moments
later, Michelle Normand
put one on goal from 10
yards, which Brittany
Peet stopped. In the seventh minute, Elizabeth
Christman sent an 18-yard
shot over the goal.
Both teams had shots
in the 10th and 12th minutes. It was O’Brien on
goal from 15 yards in the
corner and Sara Dymek
wide left from 15 for
Chicopee. Then two minutes after that, Eduardo
was wide right from 25
yards and Ashley Jones
over the top from 20
yards. Over the next 8:00,
Minnechaug had three
shots to two for Chicopee.
In the 15th, Christman
blasted a 35-yarder over
the goal; in the 16th, it
O’Brien was stopped by
Peet, 10 yards out; in the
19th, Molly Serra was 25

shot over the goal. At the
other end, Zippin stopped
a shot by Kylie Ratelle
from 25 yards. Eduardo
ended the first 20 minutes of the game with a
20-yarder that went wide
right.
Peet made a big save
of a Vanessa Chiarella
8-yarder in the 23rd and
Dymek from 25 yards
was stopped by Zippin in
the 27th. Serra was wide
left from 18 yards in the
29th and Jocylyn Deome
sent her 15-yarder wide
to the left a minute later.
Chicopee’s last shot came
in the 33rd minute, a 25yard shot by Eduardo that
went over the goal. In
the final 5:00, the Falcons
were in the Chicopee end
for the most part. Emma
Weisse sent one through
the crease in the 35th;
Jaileen Goncalves was
wide left from 20 in the
36th; Normand was on
goal from 20 in the 38th
and Minnechaug had a

back until the 61st minute. Eduardo had the first
Pacers hot of the second
half and it was on goal
from 15 yards. In fact,
Zippin had to come out
of the goal area to stop
Eduardo for the save.
In the 61st minute,
O’Brien sent one over the
goal from 25 yards and
a minute later, Weisse
did the same thing from
10 yards closer. But
Minnechaug kept the
ball in and put pressure
on Peet. Then with just
under 16 minutes to play,
Mackenzie Howard sent
a pass into the right corner to Serra, who turned
and shot. It appeared that
Peet never saw the ball as
she was looking directly
toward a setting sun. The
ball went past her at 24:12
and into the left corner of
the goal. Minnechaug had
a 1-0 lead.
In the 69th min ute, Minnechaug had a
chance as Chiarella sent
a 20-yard shot on Peet.
Seconds later at the other
end, Eduardo was wide
left from 25. Minnechaug
had corner kicks in the
33rd and 35th minutes
and Chiarella’s 15-yard
shot went wide to the
right. Eduardo had one
last chance with a minute
to go. It was a free kick
from 20 yards that went
over the goal.
Peet had seven saves
for the Pacers.
In an earlier game,
the Pacers beat Holyoke
Catholic, 3-0. At 16:20,
Ratelle drove one from
eight to the short side of
Grace Neffinger and into
the left corner for a 1-0
lead. Deome had the
assist. They made it 2-0
as Taina Slaughter headed
one in from 6 yards off a
pass from Eduardo. The
third goal came with 5:45
to play, as Chloe Valencia
slipped past the defense
and from 12 yards, found
the left corner. Eduardo
had the assist as well.
While Chicopee was
peppering Neffinger with
21 shots, Peet needed to
make just four saves in the
game. The only one in the
second half came in the
final minute. The Pacers
split left them at 9-2-2
overall and 4-0-1 in the
Central Division. They
play Holyoke, Hampshire

It was more of the
same to begin the second. Kathy Jaracz opened
behind the service line and
a Cundiff kill gave Comp
a 1-0 lead. She had two
aces and the Colts led 50. The teams went back
and forth for a while. A
Willette ace made it 12-7;
an Alicia Lacosse ace got
it to 17-10. But throughout the Spartans were able

Panthers fall on road to Ludlow
By Tim Peterson
Turley Publications
LUDLOW - Home
Sweet Home.
Following a pair of
road losses by more than
30 points, the Ludlow varsity football team returned
home and pulled out a
14-10 victory against
Intercounty League rival
Cathedral, in a hard fought
defensive battle last Friday
night.
“We really didn’t play
very good football in our
last two games, but we
did play a lot better in this
game tonight” said secondyear Ludlow head coach
Ray Saloio. “We played
very well defensively and
the offense scored a couple of early touchdowns,
but the Cathedral defense
made a couple of adjustments and we had some
breakdowns offensively
after that. We still have a
lot of work to do.”
The victory evened
the Lions overall record
at 3-3 and improved
their league record at 32. Ludlow also defeated
Belchertown and Athol at
home, while losing road
games against Turners
F a l l s , Ta c o n i c , a n d
Frontier Regional in the
season opener.
“We just need to be
a little more focused on
the bus rides to our away
games,” said Ludlow
junior middle linebacker
Brandon Macznik. “We’re
still hoping to make it to
the playoffs this year.”
The Lions have outscored their opponents,
59-22, in the three home
COLTS
from page 13
for the week. That they
went up against two of the
top teams, Westfield and
Amherst and played them
well speaks well of the
team, but gaining just one
of a possible four points
leaves them very little
margin for error. Chicopee
gave up two first half
goals against Westfield
and that was enough as the
Bombers held on. Against
the defending champion
Hurricanes, it was a scoreless tie, but it also meant
that they have scored
in their last six games.
Chicopee is 4-7-3 overall
and they play Minnechaug
and East Longmeadow
this week.
Hampden Charter’s
boys and girls teams
played against Mount
Everett. The boys lost 4-1
and are now 0-7-1, while
the girls lost 4-0. They

victories, while they’ve
been outscored 97-21 in
the three road losses.
The Lions players
and coaching staff will
be back on the bus again
on Saturday when they
travel to Easthampton to
face the Eagles in another important Intercounty
League game. The contest
will be played on the new
grass field at the White
Brook Middle School in
Easthampton. Kickoff is
slated for 1 p.m.
“That’s going to be
a very big game for both
teams,” Saloio said. “We
just have to fix some
things in practice this
week and get back to playing our style of football.”
A
year
ago,
Easthampton came away
with a 36-32 road win,
which eliminated the
Lions from the Division 5
playoff race.
The Lions will then
return home to face Mahar
next Friday night in the
final game of the regular
season.
Cathedral, who
entered last week’s game
with the same record as
Ludlow, had less than 20
players dress in uniform.
The Panthers, who have
a co-op with Holyoke
Catholic and Sabis, posted a 28-7 victory in last
year’s season opener
against the Lions.
The Lions received
the opening kickoff in last
Friday night’s game and
they put-together a five
play scoring drive, which
covered 55 yards.

Bulldogs, as they won the
first twos sets, 25-16 and
25-15. Chicopee dropped
the third 18-25, but took
the fourth, 25-19. Even in
their loss to Agawam, they
played well, coming back
from a 2-0 deficit, 18-25

Lady Brownies in three

they forced a tiebreaker. They lost that 11-15.

The drive came to an end
when senior running back
Nathan Johnson took a
handoff from senior quarterback Nate Laprade,
who’s from Granby, and
ran 7 yards into the end
zone. Laprade also threw
a touchdown pass to
Johnson on the two-point
conversion play slicing the
Panthers deficit to 14-10
with 4:37 remaining in the
first half.
“They had two big
plays on their scoring
drive, which we should’ve
stopped” Macznik said.
“Our defense played much
better in the second half
and we shut them out.”
Macznik finished the
game with a team-high
six tackles and one sack,
which came on the first
play of the third quarter.
Juniors Max Matias and
Ethan Freniere also helped
him out on that play.

On the first down play,
Rodrigues, who completed 7 of his 17 passes for
83 yards, threw a 14-yard
pass to junior wide receiver Andrew Conchinha for
another first down. The
Panthers were also called
for a personal foul on that
play moving the ball to

Rodrigues capped off the
scoring drive by tossing
a high floater to freshman running back Jeremy
Garcia, who out jumped a
Panthers defender for the
ball in the end zone with
7:04 left in the first quarter.
While it was the 10th
touchdown pass of the season thrown by Rodrigues,
it was Garcia’s first receiving touchdown of his varsity career. Garcia also
rushed for a team-high
42 yards on seven carries
against the Panthers.
