A whole world of
knowledge in his hands
St. Stan’s student wins
geography bee, moves on to
state competition
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – St. Stanislaus
School has been buzzing over the
topographical knowledge of one 12year-old student. After beating out
the likes of his classmates throughout
the school, now, this Friday, the youth
will go head to head with challengers
from all over the Commonwealth in
the Massachusetts State Geography
Bee.
“We’re quite proud of Anthony’s
achievement,” said Karen Shea, assistant principal at the school.
Each year, thousands of schools
all over the country participate in the
competition prepared by the National
Geographic Society.
“It’s designed to encourage
teachers to include geography in
their classrooms, spark student interest in the subject, and increase public
awareness of geography,” she said.
Once a student wins their school
contest, they then go home and take
an online quiz, which will identify
a winner from their particular town
or city. Czarniecki now represents
the entire city of Chicopee in this
competition and will face challengers from all over the Commonwealth
in the State Geography Bee held at
Elms College on Friday, April 1.
“The last time we had anyone
reach the state level was about eight
or nine years ago,” said Shea. “And
we have never had anyone win the

was awarded a $3,500 grant
to use towards a permaculture
garden project at Stefanik. The
permaculture garden, which is
designed to mimic natural systems in order to be self-sustaining, will help Stefanik students
connect with fresh food.
“Third graders will follow
this program through the end of
this school year,” said Stefanik
Memorial School Principal
Ginger Coleman. “When they
return as fourth graders, they
will get to finish the process.
They will harvest and they will
close out the garden beds for the
year.”
Stefanik third graders will
garden through an after school
program, which meets twice a
week. Students will plant, tend
and harvest the garden from
April through June and again
from September until early
November.
Currently 23 students have
enrolled in the Stefanik Garden
Club, said paraprofessional Jo
Hastings-Bineault, whom advises the club.
Garden beds were installed

grant from UMass Amherst.

all very exciting for us as a school as
well.”
Though he admits he’s pretty
nervous about going head-to-head
with other students – especially ones
older than he is, as the competition
is open to those grades four through
eight – Czarniecki said he has the
questions pretty much covered.

Former Facemate property ready for redevelopment
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – The city is
now fielding development proposals for the former Facemate
property adjacent to the
RiverMills Senior Center.
On March 16, Mayor
Richard J. Kos announced that
lot number four of the former
Facemate property, 3.859 acres
of land on W. Main Street, is
ready for redevelopment after
necessary environmental cleanup work.
This year’s $3,500 grant will
pay for tools and materials
needed.
“The best thing the grant
will do is to connect the program to the rest of the community. The garden project will
bring together teachers, the
school’s kitchen staff, 500-plus
elementary-aged students and
UMass Amherst students,” said
UMass Amherst student auxiliary sustainability coordinator
Xochiquetzal Salazar. “It will
give UMass Amherst students
an opportunity to interact with
the wider Pioneer Valley community and foster connections
between Chicopee students and
their food.”
UMass Amherst maintains five permaculture gardens. Both UMass Amherst and
Chicopee Public Schools have
increased their local food purchasing with the help of grants
from the Kendall Foundation.
The Stefanik garden is a part of
Chicopee Public Schools’ local
food initiative, ChicopeeFRESH,
created to teach students why
local food is important.
“We’re really hoping this
turns into a true community garden…so that the kids can try
foods they may have never had
or have never had real exposure
to. We really want to have more
fresh fruits and vegetables for
the kids. And we’re hopeful that
families will get involved during
the summer,” said Coleman.
During school months,
UMass Amherst students will

For the last 18 months the Diocese of Springfield has been
implementing plans to integrate the students of the old Cathedral
and Holyoke Catholic High Schools into the New Pope Francis High
School. This process has led to a bit of confusion and many questions
among families across the Pioneer Valley. Some have even questioned
the survivability of the entire school structure and specifically St.
Mary’s High School. I am writing to assure you that you should have
no concerns. We are proud of our stability and long tradition and look
forward to another 100 years of service to this community.

City Council approves funds for golf carts
CHICOPEE – The City
Council recently approved
appropriations for $50,645
and $20,000 for the leasing
of electric golf carts and the
ability to store and charge
them.
This includes the purchase of 72 new electric
golf carts on a four-year
lease with a $1 buyout.
The existing golf carts
on hand are entering their
eighth year of service, a testament to those who maintain them. Their average
lifespan is four years.
This year will mark the
first time the golf course
has used electric golf carts.

Westover holds public meeting
about proposed addition of KC-46A
Base is one of four
possible locations
for first round
CHICOPEE – The
U.S. Air Force is holding
public, drop-in meetings
at four bases on a list of
possible sites for the KC46A, a new aerial refueling aircraft. The meeting
in Massachusetts will be
held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
on April 12 at the Castle of
Knights, 1599 Memorial
Drive, Chicopee.
The scoping meetings
will be in the format of an
open house information
session, and the public
can drop in at any time.
The open house session is
an opportunity for community members to learn
more about the mission
and environmental impact
of KC 46A. The public
is also invited to speak
with Air Force personnel
one-on-one, and to provide comments that will
be factored into the public portion of the study.
Public input supports the
Air Force in making more
informed decisions about
the impact and placement
of the new aircraft. Westover is one of
four possible sites for
the KC-46A, includ ing Grissom Air Reserve
Base in Indiana, Seymour
Johnson Air Force Base
in North Carolina, and
Tinker Air Force Base in
Oklahoma.
The Air Force has
identified Seymour
Johnson as the preferred
alternative site. The purpose of the chosen base’s
mission is to provide a
fully capable, combat
operational KC-46A aerial refueling squadron to
accomplish aerial refueling and related missions.
The public scoping meetings will be arranged in
a “come and go” open
house format with no formal USAF presentation or
opportunity for public testimony. Written comments
will be accepted during
the public meeting.
The KC 46A aircraft will replace the
aging tanker fleet. With
more refueling capacity,
improved efficiency, and
increased capabilities for
cargo and aeromedical
evacuation, the KC 46A
will provide aerial refueling support to the Air
Force, Navy, and Marine
Corps, as well as allied
nation coalition force aircraft.
A final decision and
selection of a main base
will be announced after
the public meetings and
comment period end. For

Riding along the thin blue line:
Detecting evidence, probable cause
Editor’s note: This
is the third of an ongoing series looking inside
various aspects of police
work as a student in
t h e C h i c o p e e Po l i c e
D e p a r t m e n t ’s s e c o n d
run of the Citizens Police
Academy. In this week’s
piece, recruits took a closer look at the ins and outs
of crime scene investigations.
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – Here’s
the scene: recruits are dispatched in teams of two
to a disturbance call. As
they enter the residence,
the pair emerges into
total darkness only to
find knives, a gun, various bloodied apparel, and
– most importantly – an
unconscious victim with
stab wounds in the corner.
What do they do?
“When we drive to a
call, we have no idea what
kind of scene we’re walking into,” explained Lt.
Holly Davis, a detective
for the Chicopee Police
Department.
And as many recruits
could attest, that was
exactly how they felt.
Some even admitted to
stepping on some of the
evidence as they entered
the room.
“Even though there
was tons of evidence littered around the scene, the
intention was to see what
everyone could pick up on
and identify how it may
possibly be used in a particular case,” Davis said.
“And what’s more, is trying
to identify steps and procedures of what to do first.”
One thing that was
conducted similarly to that
of real police recruits was
the fact that amidst that
high-energy, intense situ-

r e d ev e l o p m e n t a r e a .
Environmental work on
the Uniroyal site is ongoing and work to the former
Baskin property will begin
this spring.
Proposals for the former Facemate property are
due on May 5.
“A selection committee will take probably one
to two months [after May
5] to review everything
and come to a recommendation for a preferred
developer,” said Pouliot.
Kos stated that lot
four has already garnered
interest from developers,
with mixed-use development being the most popu-
ation, the majority of individuals that approached
the scene didn’t utilize
turning on a light as an
option. Out of a class of
seven real police recruits,
only one decided to look
for a way to shine a brighter light on the crime.
In addition to making sure that evidence is
preserved, Davis asked the
class how each piece could
potentially be utilized.
“Did anyone see the
mug with the lipstick on
it? How about the bloody
t-shirt? What insignia did
it have on it? The hat? All
of these items contained
DNA evidence and that’s
a huge part when trying
to solve a case like this,”
she said.
She also drove the
point home that most
importantly, the focus is
always to save a life, if
possible. As part of the
pseudo scenario, Detective
Danusia Liszka took on
the role of a “victim.”
When recruits came on
scene, they noticed a rope
around her neck and asked
what they should do.
“We don’t wait for
an ambulance to come,
we start working on the
victim right away,” she
explained, noting that it
was also important to preserve the knot on the rope
around Liszka’s neck as
it could potentially identify if there was foul play
involved with the incident.
Prior to the practical
exercise, recruits from the
Citizens Police Academy
were walked through the
process of report writing
with examples of popular
cases.
“Especially when
physical evidence comes
into question, the way
reports are written can
make a big difference in
a case. Each word that
lar intention thus far.
“There is going to be
private investment that
will result in the development of the site, which
will increase not only
the opportunities for this
site itself, but the area
around it. There is clearly an investment there.
Additional traffic means
that there will be further
interest in our parcels, but
the Falls as a whole,” said
Kos.
Kos noted that projected tax revenue for the
property would be difficult to gauge until the type
of use it will have is determined. He also suggested
that the Uniroyal property
would be ready for the
proposal process later this
year.

While school is out of session during the summer
months, the Chicopee Public

Coleman explained
she is hopeful that students and their families
will assist in maintaining
the garden over the summer, taking home fresh
fruits and vegetables.
“I’m really excited. I
think this could really take
off and become a great
asset to the whole neighborhood,” said Coleman.
Students will have the
opportunity to raise a variety of foods in four raised
garden beds, including
herbs, tomatoes, squash,
peas, strawberries, eggplants and cucumbers.
“For third and fourth
graders, gardening really
ties into the curriculum
nicely. It’s a great developmental year when they

It’s an appropriate age
and they have the maturity to eagerly work,” said

In addition to the annual “Honorary Shamrock,” the Shamrock Club provides a banner to the “best crowd” along the
annual Holyoke Parade route. This year’s honor goes to the Lagoy family, who even managed to drown out the media
on 2044 Northampton St. in Holyoke.
shamrock
from page 1
This group, formed by
Shamrock Club President
Jack Ryan in 1987, was
created as a way to make
the Holyoke St. Patrick’s
Day Parade a more festive and crowd-interactive
parade (and celebration).
Chicopee Firefighters
who were marching that
year stopped in front of
the large gatherings, in
front of homes or businesses, along the route
and would begin swirling their fire caps in the
air and the crowds began
to cheer wildly. The following year, the cheering groups were given
banners, for first, second
and so on that they would
proudly display in front of
their homes or business.
“It’s taken on a life
of its own ever since,”
explained Ryan.
The Honorary
Chicopee
Register
Shamrock nod was also
presented the following
year to an individual worthy of cheer and applause
on the parade route.
“[Howie was selected] because of his support of the parade group
and efforts to accommodate marchers has earned
high marks from the club,”
Ryan said. “Howie’s efforts
to bring retirees into social
functions – like myself – is
especially noteworthy.”
Beaudry’s banner was
flown on Northampton
Street in Holyoke on March
20.
Though there have
been a number of individuals from fire services
honored, not all recipients
are firefighters. One year,
in fact, a state trooper that
was shot in the line of duty
was also honored.
“Once again, I’d like
to thank the Shamrock
Club for honoring me,
with this highly distinguished award and pin, as
shown in the picture, that
I will proudly wear, for
my remaining St Patrick’s
Day Parade marching
years on the Chicopee Fire
Department!”
In addition to
the annual “Honorary
Shamrock,” the Shamrock
Club provides a banner to
the “best crowd” along the
annual Holyoke Parade
route. This year’s honor
goes to the Lagoy family, who even managed to
drown out the media on
2044 Northampton St. in
Holyoke.
The “Best Crowd”
award is presented to individuals the following year
so that they can hang their
banner up on parade day.
Besides bragging rights,
recipients are also honored
with a homemade shillelagh, traditionally made of
blackthorn or oak. Ryan
said Chicopee firefighter
Billy Anderson has already
cut the wood to craft next
year’s and Chicopee firefighter Dan McQuade will
be staining it.
For a chance at the
coveted prize at next year’s
parade, Ryan suggests
making as much noise as
possible the route as they’re
always on the lookout.

Pondering a move
to Canada?
Here’s a better
solution
I
n recent years, Americans have taken to
Google’s search engine to plan “moving
to Canada” should their candidate not
take the presidential seat. Since approximately 2004, the numbers of those querying the
infobahn has spiked around election time.
There was also a surge last June, shortly
after Donald Trump officially added his name
to the race for the Republican Party.
As of late, the search engine reports a
more recent uptick. Among those top states
looking to hop the border was, yes, you
guessed it – Massachusetts. But whatever
aversion to either democratic or republican
candidate you have, instead of moving your
entire household, career, family, and life up
north, we’ve got a better solution for you:
vote.
That’s right, vote. If you don’t like a
particular candidate vying for the role of
Commander in Chief, then get out there and
express your 15th Amendment rights.
Though Election Day isn’t until
November, there is still plenty of time to
do research on the individuals in the running. What issues matter to you? Do you
care about health insurance issues? Schools?
Public safety? Tuition to college? Whatever
matters to you, look into it.
According to statistics from the Canadian
government from 2013, nearly 8,500 U.S.
citizens head up north to become permanent
residents every year, with no real correlation
to election time. Four times as many, however, moved to Canada from the People’s
Republic of China.
Is there a chance that there will be a mass
exodus of people marching up North or a
number of flights booked around November?
Probably not. Despite the escalation in numbers online, the numbers haven’t necessarily translated to a mass escape. But, in the
meantime, instead of plotting out a lifestyle
change, keep it simple and vote. Like the
ever-popular Nike campaign says: Just do it.

Swathe your PB & J sandwiches and celebrate!
By Joan E. B. Coombs
Guest Columnist
W
hat’s churned out as an
American icon? What classic spread has been swathed
onto every imaginable, edible surface by
gazillions of the global populace? What
treat has become an
enduring, affordable, slice-of-life
sustenance?
I t ’s b e e n
daubed. Even
smeared, yet, dearly loved.
“National
PB & J Sandwich
Day” or household
termed as “Peanut
Butter and Jelly” (or jam), will be celebrated nationally on Saturday, April
2, 2016.
After a little digging, I discovered
that underground-grown peanuts surfaced in popularity in the late 1800’s
as PT Barnum’s circus wagons peddled
hot roasted peanuts when they traveled
across the country. Later, street vendors
marketed this hot-selling snack.
Then in 1895, Dr. John Harvey
Kellogg, (of breakfast cereal notoriety) invented a type of peanut butter.
After more soil searching, I found that
a St. Louis physician also created a version of peanut butter for protein intake
for his aging patients. More down-toearth research revealed that in the early
1900’s the noted scientist, Dr. George
Washington Carver, proposed that peanuts could be an effective, commercial
crop! Thus, the peanut popularity grew
so fast that peanut butter was introduced
in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair.
During World Wars I and II, peanuts and peanut butter, put on a new,
uniform food use. It held a stand-byyour-side position, because it was protein packed - especially during maneuvers in World War II.
Peanuts appear as an American
icon in other famous forms. In 1947
an affectionate term, “The Peanut
Gallery”, was made popular by “The
Howdy Doody” television show. Later,
in 1969, Charles Schultz created the
syndicated comic strip, “PeanutsCharlie Brown and His Gang.”
By all above-ground sightings, our
fond PB&J sandwiches have homegrown, U.S. roots. Peanut plants blossom yellow flowers about 40 days
after planting. The growth cycle takes

to Szot Park on
Saturday morning despite the chilling

Whilst looking for
colorful Easter eggs filled
with sweet treats, children were also on the
lookout for a “special
ticket” scattered around
the park’s upper field.
Once retrieved, the “special ticket” was redeemable for one of the many
available prizes. Zoned
off areas were assigned
to each age level – 3 and
under, 4 to 7, and 8 to 10 –
were announced one after
another.
Children were also
invited to design and/or
create their own unique
Easter bonnet. Organizers
tipped their hats to some
of the more unique concoctions including a Rice
Krispie treat top hat.
Among those awarded
with prizes were eightyear-old Delanie Caron,
3-year-old Aubrey
Blanchette, 7-year-old
Alissa Aldrich, and 2and-a-half-year-old Troy

Webb Memorial Basketball
Tournament. A total of 37
teams, some 400 athletes from
grades 3 to 7 took part in this
year’s tourney.
The tournament was named
after George Webb, a wellknown figure at the Boys and
Girls Club. When he wasn’t
playing pickup basketball, he
gave his time to help out as
much as he could. though not
from Chicopee, he settled in the
city until his untimely death in
2004. Through the efforts of
his close friend, Kevin Vann,
Webb’s contributions would not
be forgotten. Vann and his associates were involved in building
a new gymnasium, along with
Webb and as a way to honor
his memory they decided to
run a tournament. In the 12
years since its inception they
have raised well over $100,000. Webb is survived by his wife
Karen and daughter Brianne. Clarissa Matlasz of the Boys
and Girls Club was in charge of
the tournament this year.
Chicopee had 13 teams,
including one from the Boys and
Girls Club. From Longmeadow
came seven teams and it was
five each from Holyoke and
Springfield. Belchertown had
two, while South Hadley, West
Springfield, East Longmeadow
and Ludlow each had one. On Saturday, four division
champions were crowned. Play
began with the 3rd/4th grade boys
championship game. Our Lady
of Guadalupe 1 (Holyoke) beat
RBC Hoyas (Springfield), 21-18. OLOG jumped out to an early
lead, 7-2, and after an RBC run
gave them the lead, OLOG scored
the last six points of the half to
lead 12-8. After the break, OLOG
held off the Hoyas for the win. It was RBC first loss and they
will play again on Monday. The
rest of the bracket was:
Chicopee, OLOG 2 (Holyoke),
Mig’s Team (Springfield),
Cavaliers (Chicopee) and Eagles
(Chicopee).
In the 5th/6th grade girls’
final, Our Lady of Guadalupe

with four points, was a force
on the boards. Zamboni could
not play due to injury, but he
was on the bench cheering his
team on. Perez had 11 points
for the Black team with some
good moves inside and an early
three. Carey scored eight and
took down some big rebounds
to keep the Black team in the
game. Velasquez scored six,
including a big three in the second half. It was five apiece for
Reynolds and Callahan. Each
had a basket and a three.
The Grays won this one
109-84. The game was fairly
close for the first six minutes, as
the Blacks stayed within three
to five points. An eight-point
run opened it up and to double
figures from 19-16 to 27-16 and
the Grays never looked back. For the rest of the half, they
maintained their double-digit
lead, save for a short spurt by
the Black team that got them as
close as nine. By halftime, the
margin was back to 14 points
at 53-39. The Gray team in the
first four minutes of the second
half broke the 20-point mark at
63-43. Back came the Blacks,
as they outscored the Grays,
10-2. With seven minutes to
go, they got as close as ten, 6959. But that would be as close
as they would get. The Grays
pulled away and with three minutes left, they were up by 23
points and would win by 25.

SPRINGFIELD – The lights
shone brightly on the top high
school girls basketball seniors
from Western Massachusetts
for one last time at the Senior
All-Star Game held on the Jerry
Colangelo Court of Dreams at
the Basketball Hall of Fame on
Friday night.
This exhibition contest,
which was close throughout, saw
the White squad pull out a 71-64
victory over the Black team.
Monson’s Miranda Couture,
who finished her high school
career with over 100 3-pointers
made, showed off her impressive range in this contest as she
hit a couple of 3-pointers during
the game, including one where
she was several steps behind the
line. She also came up with several nice defensive plays.
Chicopee Comp’s Molly
Willette also proved to be one
of the sharp shooters on the
night as she knocked down three
3-pointers and finished with a
team-high 14 points. Fellow Colt
Alyssa Stefanelli also made a
couple of nice plays on both the
offensive and defensive side of
the ball.
Meghan D’Amours
and Christie Mirski, both of
Agawam, had solid contributions on both the offensive and
defensive side of the ball for the
White squad, as did Mackenzie
Pratt, of Holyoke.
Players included the White
squad were Meghan D’Amours
and Christie Mirski of Agawam;
Jamie Staples and Jada Glasgow
of Amherst; Sharon Robinson,
of Central; Molly Willette and
Alyssa Steffanelli of Chicopee
Comp; Mackenzie Pratt, of
Holyoke; Alexa Morin of
Westfield; and Rudi Spano of
West Springfield. Players included on the Black team were: Emily
Casella of Athol; Molly Moulton
of Drury; Chelsea Moussette of
Hampshire; Olivia Shapiro of
Longmeadow; Miranda Couture
of Monson; Ashley Higgins of
Smith Academy; Lexi Gawron
of South Hadley; Allie Hunt of
Pittsfield; and Sadie Simons of
Ware.
Harold Cote, of Agawam,
was the coach of the Black
squad, while Hampshire’s Amy
Cyr led the Black squad.

Forbush, Feliciano contribute for senior stars

SPRINGFIELD The Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame
played host to the 2016
Western Massachusetts
Senior High School AllStar Game for Divisions
2, 3, and 4 boys on
Friday, March 25 at the
Jerry Colangelo Court of
Dreams. Colby Forbush of
Granby had a big threepointer in the early going
that helped put the Gray
on its path to victory. He
scored five of his seven
points in the first half.
Jason Feliciano represented Hampden Charter
School of Science and
scored 12 points for the
Black team in a solid performance by the Wolves’
senior. He would be his
team’s second high scorer.
The Gray team defeated the Black team 89-65
after building an early
lead. In the first eight
minutes of the first half. By the break, they led
by 18 points. The Grays
pulled away somewhat in
the second half and got the
lead as high as 25 points. They were led, in large
part by Arvon Gordon of
Renaissance, who scored
20 of his game high 26
points after the break.
The Gray team was
guard heavy and that was
reflected by their out
shooting, where they sunk
10 three-pointers to three
for the Blacks. That was
the difference in the game.
Forbush got into the
action early in the game
with a three-pointer and the
Grays took an 11-5 lead. hey would pull away after
that. Jason Feliciano of
Hampden Charter helped
out his squad with a jumper, but then the Grays took
charge with a 22-9 run to
give them a 45-25 lead
with two minutes left in the
half. In that run Forbush
had a basket to make it 38-
22. The score at halftime
was 48-30 Grays. With four minutes
gone in the second half,
the Grays had opened up
a 26-point lead at 60-34
and had scored nine of
the Gray’s twelve points. A seven-point run by the
Blacks with Feliciano getting three, cut it back to 19. Over the next four minutes, the margin remained
in the 20-point range,
though baskets by Forbush
and Gordon basket did get
it back to 24. Feliciano
scored right after Gordon
to stop that run. Over the
final three minutes, he
scored seven of his team’s
final nine points.
