Incident at CHCS ‘under investigation’ Rintala will
By Aimee M. Henderson
[email protected]
BELCHERTOWN – An incident which occurred at Chestnut
Hill Community School Jan. 13 is
“under investigation,” according
to police officials.
Superintendent Karol Coffin
confirmed through an email to
the school community that an
“unloaded handgun” was brought
to school by an employee.
Coffin, who called the move
“clearly and unequivocally a poor
decision on the employee’s part,”
said the intent for bringing the
gun to school was to ask another
employee “how to property clean
it.”
“Thankfully, the other employ-
ee immediately reported the matter to school officials,” Coffin
said.
Coffin said police were notified once officials learned of the

BOSTON – In a written
decision Thursday, Jan. 14, the
Supreme Judicial Court cleared
the path for a third murder
trial to proceed against Cara
Rintala, who is charged with
strangling her wife Annmarie
Rintala to death in March 2010
inside their Granby home.

pleased with the

Court’s swift and

omen entering domestic violence shelters or
surviving on the streets
don’t usually have much they can
call their own. The Zonta Club
of Quaboag Valley is working to
change that.
Belchertown resident Mary F.
Knight, communications chair
for the club, is hoping to reach
out to the community for help in
a project they are calling “Fill a
bag with hope.”
The ongoing event will end
on Feb. 8, during which time a
hands-on project will take place
at the Ludlow Country Club
beginning at 5:30 p.m. with a
social time and dinner at 6 p.m.
The cost for dinner is $18, and
reservations should be made prior
to Feb. 4 to 413-335-7722.
Knight said the Zonta Club of
Quaboag Valley was looking for
a hands-on project to involved
members and potential members
when the idea of collecting items
for women in domestic violence
situations was brought forward.
“We knew women entering
domestic violence shelters or surviving on the streets in poverty
don't usually have a nice bag they
can call their own,” said Knight.
“We decided to change that reality - at least for 100 women.”
The club is currently collecting
new or gently used pocketbooks,
as well as toiletries, make-up
products and other personal care
items. The filled bags will be
delivered to local shelters in time
for Valentine’s Day.
“Most of the women who will
benefit directly from this project
are not expecting anything nice

murder trial

Athletic Association convention in San Antonio, Texas, as
part of a pilot program through
a Division III Ethnic Minority
Grant.
Rintala was indicted in
October 2011 for first-degree
murder, and the case has been
tried twice, both times ending
in mistrials based upon deadlocked juries. Following the
second mistrial, Rintala filed
a motion to dismiss the case,
arguing there was insufficient
evidence to sustain a conviction.
Superior Court Judge Mary
Lou Rup, who presided over
both trials, denied Rintala’s
motion, after which Rintala
appealed the denial to a Single
Justice of the Supreme Judicial
Court. The Single Justice
agreed with Judge Rup and
denied Rintala’s petition in
May 2015, after which Rintala
appealed that decision to the
full Supreme Judicial Court.
The court heard oral arguments
on the appeal this past Monday,
Jan. 11 in Boston.
In the court’s two-page
decision it held that “the evidence against Rintala was sufficient to permit the jury to
conclude that she strangled
the victim in the basement of
their house.”
The court noted that “[b]ased
on the state of the victim's
body at the time she was found
by first responders, the testimony of the Commonwealth's

Photo group holding meeting to
feature work of resident Gail Platz
BELCHERTOWN – The Quabbin Photo
Group will hold its monthly meeting Monday,
Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. at the Quabbin Visitor’s
Center.
The program this month will be “Western
Odyssey” presented by Gail Platz from
Belchertown.
Platz says that outdoor photography is
her passion. Now that she is retired, she can
devote all of her time and energy to follow
her dreams. As a naturalist and a photographer, she explores many local areas as well
as travels to many amazing regions of this
country and abroad.
Through her photography she wishes to
inspire others to learn about the natural world
around them and to preserve many of the fast
disappearing habitats with their diverse plants
and animals.
She is an active member of the Quabbin
Photo Group, the Pioneer Valley Photographic
Artists, and the prestigious Massachusetts
Camera Naturalists. She has numerous prints,
which she has shown in galleries, as well
as several programs which she presents to
groups.
The public is invited to explore some of
the national parks of the west and southwest
of the country. Travel to unique geographical regions once covered by an inland ocean.
View the sculpted geological wonderlands
set aside for all to enjoy, such as the Upper
Antelope Slot Canyon made up of Navajo
soapstone carved by centuries of raging flood
waters. View the red rocks of several parks
in the Southwest, each one beautiful, and yet
quite distinct from the others. Observe some
of the birds which nest and migrate through a
large park on the Great Salt Lake. Take in the
wondrous beauty of the Grand Canyon from
the North Rim.
This is a 45-minute program with a musical background which she hopes will inspire
viewers to travel some of these parks, and to
discover the wild beauty which awaits.
All meetings of the Quabbin Photo Group
are open to the public free of charge and are
held at the Quabbin Visitor’s Center off Route
9 in Belchertown.
For more information visit www.quabbinphotogroup.org or contact Elaine DarrMorton at 413-323-9212.

Enriching education
a good choice
L
earning the ABCs and 123s in school is – of
course – the basics of education and a top priority. Add in all the other subjects and it completes
the curriculum.
There is more to education then what can be taught in
a classroom in front of a blackboard however.
Teaching children proper social interactions and
diversity is also of utmost importance, rounding out the
student and education completely.
The Enrichment Program at Swift River Elementary
School is a perfect addition to the school day, allowing
students to experience fun atypical structured learning.
It offers the aforementioned opportunities of diverse
learning, all without the student ever realizing they are,
in fact, learning.
The program, which was added this year, takes place
once a week during recess. It is in response to a student
survey that showed recess and lunch as the times during
the day in which students felt the least safe. Both are
unstructured environments. This new option gives students a chance to find a place where they can feel more
secure during those times. Kudos to the school district
for addressing the need in a very positive way.
Students who wish to participate in the enrichment
program opt in to the special classes - because they are
not required - however the popularity of it has some on
a waiting list. Parents and/or guardians have to sign a
permission slip to approve the choice by the student.
The first time around students were offered various
classes like hip hop aerobics, computer lab favorites,
dance party and Native American crafts. All activities
had high attendance, and extremely positive feedback.
Based on the popularity of the fall session, the winter
program, which is running from Jan. 4 through April 1,
is offering new choices which include electronics and
computer programming, board game fun, awesome art
explosion, ABC fitness and book making. Additionally,
CORI approved parent volunteers are being added to
assist with the activities.
Implementing this program as an option for students
is a win. For students with anxiety during unstructured
social situations, like recess, it is an answered prayer.
They can feel lost, nervous, overwhelmed and even peer
pressured when they find themselves in such situations.
This program gives them a chance to still unwind from
book learning, but participate in a structured activity.
The next step for this program is to expand it so students don’t have to be placed on a waiting list. It should
be available to all those who want to participate, and
based on the popularity and administrators’ attention, it
wouldn’t be surprising if that option is being explored.

L
ast week I wrote a whole
in the
column about terms or

found in seed catalogs. I appreciate the positive feedback! There
is one very important term that I
forgot to mention, however, and
that is the AAS distinction often
found in the listings next to flowers, herbs or vegetables.
Roberta
AAS or All-America Selection
McQuaid

is a “badge of honor” bestowed
Publications
Columnist
on new, worthy cultivars of our
favorite plants. They are awarded
this distinction after thorough testing at independent trial
grounds throughout North America, their motto being
“tested nationally and proven locally.” AAS judges compare new flower introductions to those that are already
on the market, searching for such desirable characteristics as novel flower color and form, fragrance, length of
flowering and disease or pest tolerances or resistance.
Vegetables are evaluated similarly, with judges contrasting uniformity, ease of growth and harvest and disease
tolerance among other characteristics with established
varieties. After assessing the plants throughout the growing season scores are tabulated and those with the highest average are considered to be worthy of an AAS
award. Let’s learn more about this year’s winners!
In the vegetable category two pepper varieties were
honored with the AAS distinction. Let’s start with Pepper
Escamillo F1. Bearing just 77 days from transplant, these
sweet yellow peppers are plentiful and have an excellent taste when eaten raw, roasted, or stir-fried. I found
it funny to read that “Double yum” was one judge’s
response to the other AAS winning pepper Cornito Giallo

Guest Column
Resolve in 2016 to join the ‘State
Without Stigma’ campaign
Submitted by Quaboag Hills
Substance Use Task Force
The stigma of opioid addiction
People who struggle with addictions to
prescription painkillers and heroin face a
wide range of stigmas. A stigma is a mark
of disgrace that sets a person or a group
apart. When people are labeled primarily because of their addiction, they are being
negatively stereotyped. Biased, hurtful words,
attitudes and behavior represent prejudices
against people with substance use disorder,
and often lead to their discrimination and
social exclusion. Stigmas can also create
physical and mental barriers for people with
addiction to seeking treatment. Stigma and
fear may also contribute to delays in seeking
help when an overdose occurs, placing the
opioid user in a life-threatening situation.
Personal, social and institutional stigma
Stigmas aimed at people with substance
use disorders come from many sources. In
recent research, people in recovery from
addiction have identified the following
examples:
• Personal: this may take the form of
self-disgust, shame and self-hate at one’s
own appearance, behavior, lifestyle and/or
physical condition, as well as feelings of
being unworthy of help or recovery.
• Social: negative perceptions, labels and
actions from friends or family; feeling isolated or rejected.
• Institutional: negative treatment
and attitudes experienced from healthcare providers, the media, law enforcement, emergency services personnel, and
places of work or government agencies.
Examples of stigma
Recent interviews with people in recovery from opioid addiction report the following examples of stigma:
• Hurtful words and labels, including junkie, loser, thief, druggie, abuser and addict.
• Comments, such as “Once a junkie,
always a junkie” or “You’re not fit to be a
parent.”
• Perceptions, including: addiction is a
personal choice (when in fact it’s a disease), addiction is a sign of human weakness, or a lack of morals or willpower, and
addiction is the result of poor parenting.
• People in recovery with children have
experienced other parents unwilling to let
their children play at their schoolmate’s
homes.
• Some communities view addiction as a
crime, an act that must be penalized, versus
a disease that needs treatment.
• People known to local law enforcement
have reported being “profiled.”
Addiction is a disease
Many science and medical practitioners
have concluded that addiction is a chron-
ic, often relapsing disease of the brain.
Addiction in some cases may have genetic roots. Although the initial decision to
take drugs may be voluntary, chemical and
neurological changes to the brain severely
restrict a person’s self-control. The disease hinders one’s ability to resist intense
impulses to take drugs – despite harmful
consequences to the addicted individual
and to those around him or her.
What can we do individually
and as a community?
It’s important to understand that opioid
addiction is a treatable disease. On a personal level, we can look honestly at ourselves for signs of our own stigmas – negative, biased feelings, words or behaviors.
We can make the effort to look at addiction
from a different and hopefully more positive perspective. We are all affected by the
current epidemic of opioid addiction. Many
people know someone who struggles with
addiction, or who is in treatment or recovery.
• We can all be part of the solution and
take a stand against stigma.
• We can support treatment opportunities.
• We can encourage people to seek out
supports and stay in recovery.
Most importantly, we can talk about
addiction amongst our friends and family
members to hopefully address the misperceptions about addiction, treatment options
and long-term recovery. Each of us can
commit to not using hurtful or damaging
words about those who face addiction.
Take the pledge; go to
#StateWithoutStigMA
I support a #StateWithoutStigma. I
understand that addiction is not a choice- it’s a disease. I pledge to join the movement against stigma by embracing those
in need and showing compassion in how
I think about, talk about, and treat people
who struggle with addiction – empowering
them to seek treatment and a successful
recovery.

F1. Six-inch by two-inch yellow
jewels are borne in abundance,
with a report of 25 to 35 fruit per
plant. They have a delicious sweet
and fruity flavor, as well suitable
for all types of recipes.
I love that for the first time, a
strawberry variety, Delizz F1 is
an AAS winner. Interesting too
is that this plant can be started
by seed or acquired by transplant.
They produce abundantly throughout the growing season, including
hot stretches, with an estimated 45
sweetly flavored berries per plant.
Delizz is a perfect option for those
who garden in containers due to
its uniform and compact size. Of
course it is also suitable for hanging baskets or the garden plot.
In the flower category, two
geraniums were 2016 AAS winners. First we have Geranium
Brocade Fire which has unique
lime green and brick red bi-colored foliage. Semi-double orange
flowers bloom without interruption throughout the growing season. It is ideal for combination
planters, landscapes and garden
beds. Because of its coloration it
lends itself to fitting use in the
fall garden as long as temperatures stay warm. Enter Geranium
Brocade Cherry Night as an AAS
winner. Here too, unique foliage coloration - this time bronze
leaves with green margins - won
the judges hearts. The addition of
semi-double bright cherry blooms
is the icing on the floral cake. Like
most geraniums, these prefer sun
to partial shade and are relatively
drought tolerant once established.
Regularly remove spent blooms to
keep the flowers coming.
I feel confident when I see the
AAS symbol next to a particular
plant. To me, it means that with
proper care, this variety should
live up to its description in my
home garden. In retail stores look
for the patriotic red, white and
blue AAS emblem on seed packets, plant labels and containers.

list of winners past and present,

“It is and honor. I am looking forward to attending because I feel that
it will open several doors to either
further my education or possible job
opportunities,” said Caney about the
opportunity. “It is going to be a great
experience and it will be exciting to
learn more about the NCAA and to
meet new people.”
The Division III Diversity and
Inclusion working group was created at the support of the Division
III membership coming out of the
2015 NCAA Convention Division III
Issues Forum. It recommended a pilot
program that would fund 43 ethnic
minority students from Division III to
attend this year’s convention.
Caney was among the 43 student
athletes selected nationwide to attend.
She is one of only two student athletes selected from the Massachusetts
State Collegiate Athletic Conference
(MASCAC). The selection process
included choosing students who have
an interest in a career in Division III
athletics to help diversify the athletics
administrative pipeline. Caney hopes
to get into coaching as well as sports
administration/management.
“I absolutely love sports and I
never want to walk away from that.
I also like working with people so I
hope to choose a career path that will
award me with both,” said Caney.
As far as diversity goes, Caney
said, from her experience and observation, it varies in athletic administration.
“Some programs have more diversity than others. Somewhere down
the road there could be an equal
amount of diversity in every sports
program,” she said. “But at this point,
I think it all depends on who you are,
where you are from, and the many
cultures of our society.”
Caney got her start in sports
at a young age. She said she owes
her involvement in both soccer and
lacrosse to her dad.
“He always provided my brother
and I with opportunities to try many
different sports, and soccer and
lacrosse were the two I took a liking
to. He supported me more than I could
ask for,” said Caney, adding that soc-

weapon and it was confiscated by the authorities.
The employee who
brought the gun to school
was immediately placed on
administrative leave, “pending a full and thorough
investigation into this matter.”
Parents and guardians
of students who attend the
grade 4-6 school learned at
approximately 5 p.m. the
day of the incident that a
“shelter in place” was
issued by Principal Paula
Fitzgerald. A message
sent to parents through the
SchoolMessenger service
explained that students and
staff were asked to continue
working but stay out of the
hallways.
“All went smoothly,
the ‘Shelter in Place’ was
lifted, and school operations returned to normal,”
Fitzgerald said in the message.”
Following the release
of unconfirmed information through social media
Thursday morning, which
stated that a handgun was
brought to a school, the
district sent another message to parents. Just before
1 p.m. that day, parents in
the entire school district
received notification from
Coffin through the message
system that read:
“Hello, This is
Belchertown Superintendent

cer was her “first love and passion.”
Caney said she’s been playing soccer
her entire life, while lacrosse was added
to her repertoire about seven years ago.
She played both sports all four years at
Belchertown High School.
In college Caney has been a threetime All MASCAC performer in soccer and was the conference’s “rookie
of the year” in 2013. Last year she
helped thrust the school’s women’s
lacrosse program to the varsity level.
Caney led the team with 42 points
including 26 goals.
Caney’s favorite part of playing
sports is her love of sports.
“Because of that, I work very hard
Karol Coffin, there was
an issue yesterday at one
of our schools which was

Unfortunately it has been
made public before all
information has been collected. There is an ongoing investigation. Again,
I repeat, protocol was followed and EVERYONE

TIMES. Thank you, Karol
Coffin”
Parents and guardians
were not satisfied with the
messages, however, and
many took again to social
media to express their concerns on the matter. Coffin,
then sent a lengthy email
Thursday, Jan. 14 just
before 3 p.m. with detailed
information, confirming
that an employee brought
an unloaded handgun to
school. In that message, she
reiterated “at no time were

best player that I can be. I feel like I
can be my self and just let loose,” she
said.
And, when it comes down to it,
Caney said she owes a lot to the people who have supported her all along
the way.
“I am thankful that I have parents especially them - teachers, administrators and coaches that have supported
me and steered me in the right direction over the years to receive a grant
like this,” said Caney.

in danger.”
Coffin said she stands
by the district’s choices on
Wednesday and Thursday
as far as the timing notifying parents. However, she
added, if this exact situation
were to happen again, the
initial message to parents
may include more information.
A debriefing with all
administrators was held
on Thursday, Coffin said,
and during the professional
development day on Friday
principals met with their
building staff on the topic.
Coffin said she received
a lot of phone calls and
emails from parents voicing
their concerns. All emails
have been answered and
most phone calls have been
returned, she said, noting
that one of the main concerns was using the term
“protocol” to describe how
the incident was handled.
There are procedures and
expectations put in place
for a number of types of
incidents, which include
using a shelter in place for
non-immediate threat situations and/or lock downs in
serious situations, Coffin
explained. There are also
procedures for fire drills,
evacuations and other incidents.
Coffin said disclosing the
exact steps of any procedure
would in itself be a safety
risk. If parents need to pick
up their child or be notified
of something more serious,
they will be contacted.
“It’s all about safety,” she
said.
Coffin acknowledged
parents’ frustrations and
desire for more information right away and said she
will always give as much
information as possible,
explaining that everything
the district does keeps the
students’ and staffs’ safety
as the utmost priority.
“Hopefully over time,
families will feel more
to happen on Feb. 14,” said Knight. “They will be honored by the efforts of a powerful local network.”

women who are trying to move out of poverty,” added Knight.
Zonta International is a leading global organization of
professionals empowering women worldwide through
service and advocacy, according to Knight. She said this
event supports the club’s mission.
“Zonta International envisions a world in which
women’s rights are recognized as human rights and
every woman is able to achieve her full potential,” said
Knight. “In such a world, women have access to all
resources and are represented in decision-making positions on an equal basis with men. In such a world, no
woman lives in fear of violence.”
According to the YWCA, every 15 seconds a woman
is beaten in America. The YWCA’s “crisis and response,
by the numbers” reveals a continuing crisis. Those
statistics also say that more than 1 in 3 women in the
country have experienced rape, physical violence, and/
or stalking by an intimate partner. It says that almost 50
percent of homeless women and their children fled their
homes because of violence.

secure in how we’re handling things,” she said.
In response to requests
from parents, Coffin is
working on setting up an
open forum in which parents and guardians can
bring any topic of discussion.
The incident remains
under investigation, Coffin
said.
Police would not ellaborate on the type of handgun
that was part of the incident
nor would they confirm
where it was on the school
campus. David Squires,
administrative assistant to
the chief and director of the
communication center, said
it is police policy not to
comment on ongoing investigations.
Neither the school district nor the police department has disclosed who the
staff member was, though
Coffin said the investigation
will determine what happens next.

‘Food for Fines’ at the Jones
Library and branches
AMHERST – The Jones Library and
branches will be offering a “food for
fines” amnesty period from now through
Jan. 31.
Library patrons who bring a non-perishable, non-expired food donation or
make a monetary contribution to the
Amherst Survival Center when they
return overdue library materials during
this time will have the fines on those
materials forgiven.
“This is a great opportunity for
patrons with long-overdue library
materials to get those items back to
the library without having to pay the
fines that are accumulating,” says Amy
Anaya, head of Borrower Services at the
Jones Library.
It’s important to note that the amnesty applies only to items that are being
returned during this time, and not to
existing overdue fines on items that have
already been returned or for billed or
lost items.
Holding a Food for Fines drive is a
long-standing annual tradition at the
Jones Library. The food and funds
collected will support the work of the
Amherst Survival Center, the local service agency that assists many in our
community in meeting their basic needs.
For further information about Food
for Fines, please contact Amy Anaya at

Jones Library plans
writing workshop
AMHERST – Join author Jane Roy Brown in a sixweek class to explore life through writing in a memoir
workshop hosted by the Jones Library.
Writing allows people to find order and meaning in
the tumble of daily events that make up a life. It offers
a way to honor those who nurtured, to tell the truth
about a painful past, or to capture memories passed
down from grandparents. Whatever they are, stories
are individual – nobody else can write them.
In weekly two-hour meetings and take-home assignments, participants will sift for memories, choose one
to write about, learn storytelling craft, and complete a
brief story from their life.
This six-week series will be held on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. until noon, beginning on Feb. 6 and
running through March 12. Participants must able to
attend all six sessions. As space is limited, pre-registration is required. Contact Janet Ryan at [email protected] or 413-259-3223 to register. This series is
made possible thanks to the generosity of the Friends
of the Jones Libraries.
Brown is an award-winning writer, editor, and landscape historian. With Susan Haltom, Jane is co-author
of One Writer’s Garden: Eudora Welty’s Home Place
(University Press of Mississippi, September 2011).
Jane also Drawing Lessons: Forty Years of Design
Education at the Conway School (lulu.com, November
2011), and edited her father’s successful veterinary
memoir, While You’re Here, Doc (Gardiner, Maine:
Tilbury House, 2006). Her primary skill of writing has
enabled her to pursue diverse subject interests as an
author, a freelance writer for periodicals, an editor, a
writing coach, and a workshop leader.

to take on Amherst on Friday
night, and if the Lady Orioles
continue to play like this
another road trip to the same
town may be coming their way
in March.
After playing such a close
first half, the Lady Orioles
pulled away in the final 16:00
for a 68-51 win over the Lady
Hurricanes.
The two sides played a close
game in the first half, as the
Lady Orioles held small advantages of 14-13 at the end of the
first quarter and 29-26 at the
half before using a 19-12 performance in the third quarter to
grab a 48-38 lead and putting
up 20 more points in the fourth
to put the finishing touches on
the big road victory.
Kayla Henry continued her
run of big performances for the
Lady Orioles as she finished
with a team-high 24 points.
Emma Jopson was the second
Belchertown player in double
figures as she finished with 16.
Cara McKenzie also finished in
double figures as she chipped
in with 14.
Kyle Lounder chipped in
with five, followed by three
from Madison Duffy, and two
each from Samantha Birks,
Cassidy Generaeux and Payton

SPRINGFIELD - Following
a very low scoring opening half
in the first of the four Spalding
HoopHall Classic girls high
school basketball games that were
played last Friday, Granby looked
like a totally different team during
the final 16:00 against Sabis.
Granby, who held a slim 9-8
halftime lead, built a double digit
lead in the middle of the third
quarter with the help of a 13-0

BELCHERTOWN - The difference maker in the non-league boys
basketball game between Quabbin
and Belchertown was the tallest
player on the court.
Quabbin senior Marco Gabrielli,
who’s a 6-foot-6 forward, posted a
double-double with a game-high
21 points and 11 rebounds, as the
Panthers cruised to a 49-31 road
victory against the Orioles on
Monday night, Jan. 11.
“Marco has been starting to
come into his own during the past
couple of games. Teams have been
double and triple-teaming him,
but he has been handling it very
well,” said Quabbin longtime head
coach Dennis Dextradeur. “We
did get off to a slow start in the
first quarter against a very good
Belchertown team, but we were
able to win our third game in a
row.”
located on the Springfield College
campus.
“We do have a very young team
this year and it’s the first time that
some of them had played in this
environment,” said Granby head
coach Tom Burke. “I think both
teams were definitely nervous
during the first half. I also think
we couldn’t have shot the ball
any worse in the first half, but we
were still leading at halftime. We
played much better offensively
during the second half.”
The 12-point victory improved
Granby’s overall record to 7-1.
The Lady Rams, who don’t have
any seniors listed on their varsity roster this year, posted a 6029 road victory against Frontier

It was the fourth consecutive year that Granby has been
invited to play in the prestigious
HoopHall Classic, which began
15 years ago. Since losing a heartbreaker against Central Division
rival South Hadley by one point
back in 2013, the Lady Rams
have won the last three games that
they’ve played at Blake Arena.
Granby defeated Central Division
rival Hampshire, 54-48, a year
ago. They also defeated Sabis, 4335, two years ago, which ended a
10-game losing streak against the
Lady Bulldogs.
GRANBY - Despite making
only one field goal during the
fourth quarter, the Granby boys
basketball team still managed
to post a double-digit victory in
the first meeting of the season
against Bi County League rival
Ware.
The Rams, who held the lead
for almost the entire game,
made 14 free throws during the
final 8;00 en route to a 57-45
win at Sullivan Gymnasium, last
Thursday night.
“Being able to win this game
is a big deal for us because our
next three games against Palmer,
Hampshire, and Renaissance
will be very tough,” said Granby
head coach Tim Sheehan Sr. “We
still have a long ways to go to
get to where I expect us to be at
the end of the season.”
The Rams, who improved
their overall record to 4-3 and
had a 3-2 league record, got back
on the winning track after suffering a 69-64 home loss against
Dean Tech on Jan. 8.
Granby was scheduled to
play their fifth consecutive
home game against Palmer on
Monday night before playing a
road game against Hampshire on
Wednesday night. The Rams are
slated to play their third game of
the week against the Renaissance
School at home on Friday night.
The only Granby player
to reach double digits in last
Thursday’s game was senior
guard Colby Forbush, who finished with 13 points. He made
only one field goal, which was a
layup in the first quarter, and 11
free throws.

HOLYOKE - After falling
behind by four goals early in the
second period, the South Hadley
hockey team made a game of it
by getting two goals back before
the end of the period, But they
could not come all the way, back
and ultimately lost, 8-3.
The Tigers took a brief 1-0 lead
5:00 into the game. A 1:30 later,
Minnechaug tied and then took a
lead 2:30 after that. Before the
first period ended, they made
it 3-1. Two quick goals in the
first 1:30 of the second period
extended the lead to 5-1 and it
looked as though the rout was
on. But some 2:30 after the first
Minnechaug goal, the Tigers got
one back. With 1:00 left in the
second, they made it a two-point
game. Despite the fact, that the
Falcons' defense kept the Tigers
away, allowing just two shots
through 7:00, Minnechaug was
unable to put the game a away.
That was, until they found the
back of the net with 6:00 to go.
Ten seconds later they scored
again and added one more in the
final 3:00.
With their first shots, neither
team was on goal. Tyler Rose
was wide left a minute in for
Minnechaug and Evan Sullivan
was wide to the left for South
Hadley a 1:30 after that. Liam
Walsh had the first shot on goal,
a 12-footer that was kicked aside
by Justin Garon at 11:15. Thirty
seconds after that the Tigers got
four shots on Eric Szymczyk in
the next 30 seconds. The first
three — 10 feet by Ben Watkins;
12 feet by Sullivan; 8 feet by
Jim Mazza were all stopped.
The fourth at 10:08, got past
Szymczyk to give South Hadley
a 1-0 lead. Alex Joao made the
pass to Watkins who was 5 feet
out on the left and went short
side. Sullivan also had an assist.
Mazza put one on goal less than a
minute later for the Tigers.

South Hadley’s Evan Sullivan (13) carries the puck along
the boards.
Minnechaug tied it up at 8:37
as Joshua DeCarolis one timed a
pass by Francis O'Brien from 8
feet on the left. O'Brien got his
pass from Piteo. With 6:09 to
go, Minnechaug took the lead,
one they would not relinquish,
as Cam Mariani deflected a pass
from Piteo. He was 8 feet out
when the puck went off his stick.
DeCarolis had an assist as well.
Corey Calkins chance to tie
the game at 5:12 was stymied by
Szymczyk. Garon had saves on
Noah Hemenway from 10 feet
and Mariani from 12 in the 11th
minute to keep it at 2-1. That
would change at 3:24 as Matthew
Kowal finished off a crossing
pass from William Noel on the
right side. There was a Falcon
in the penalty box for the shorthanded goal. Garon had two
more stops in the period, both on
Piteo at 1:35 and 0:50. Sullivan
had his shot at 0:30 blocked

LADY RAMS | from Page 13
The only player who has
played in the Lady Rams last four
HoopHall games is junior guard
Kate Sullivan, who posted a double-double against Sabis with
a season-high 16 points and 10
steals. Sullivan just missed posting a triple-double, as she finished
the game with a team-high eight
rebounds.
“This is my fourth year playing
here and I really love it,” Sullivan
said. “It has been so much fun,
especially winning the last three
games.”
A year ago, Sullivan was selected Granby’s Most Outstanding
Player in the HoopHall game
after posting a double-double
with 13 points and a team-high 15
rebounds.
Junior guard Kate Sarnacki,
who made her third appearance at
the HoopHall, was selected as this
year’s Most Outstanding Player
for the Lady Rams. She scored 13
of her game-high 22 points during
the third quarter.
“Winning the Most Outstanding
Player is second to winning the
game,” said Sarnacki, who has
reached double figures in seven of
the Lady Rams first eight games
of the regular season. “We definitely didn’t come out as strong
as we could have today, so it just
feels awesome to get the win in
South Hadley’s Carolyn
Watkins (22) sends the puck
up the ice.
the end.”
The Lady Rams nine first half
points were scored by either
Sullivan or Sarnacki.
Granby sophomore forward
Mallory Beauregard scored four
points in the second half. Eighth
grade forward Nora Young scored
an inside basket late in the fourth
quarter for her only points of the
game.
The Lady Bulldogs (5-5) were
led by junior forward Remani
Lizana, who came off the bench
and scored all 11 of her points
during the second half. Freshman
forward Paris Lizana added 10
points, which were also scored
after intermission.
The score was tied at 4-4 after
Sarnacki buried a three-pointer
from the left corner at the buzzer
ending the first quarter.
The Lady Rams would then be
held scoreless for the first five
minutes of the second quarter.
Sabis, who was also ice cold
offensively during the first 16
minutes, held a 7-4 lead before a
layup and 3-pointer from the top
of the key by Sullivan gave the
Lady Rams the lead for the first
time.
Granby, who only made three
field goals in the first half, outscored Sabis, 21-10, during the
third stanza.
With the Lady Rams holding
a 14-13 lead in the middle of the
quarter, Beauregard hit a jumper
GRANBY - Granby wrestling hosted a quad meet against
Frontier, Pathfinder and South
Hadley over the weekend and took
home wins in all three competitions.
Granby topped Frontier, 6818, Pathfinder, 50-18, and South
Hadley, 57-21.
In the win over Frontier, Jack
Kent started things for the Rams
with a pin at 41 seconds in the 106
weight class. Kyle Roe added a
victory by forfeit at 113, as did
Victor Magalhaes at 132 lbs., and
Colin Williams at 138 lbs.
Ben Rokowski added the next
win by pinfall for the Rams at 1:45
lbs. as he needed 4:46 to pick up
the victory.
Tristan Guzik secured another
victory by forfeit at 170 lbs. before
Clayton Yanosky added the pin by
win for the Rams at 0:53 at 182
lbs. Nick Roberts grabbed a forfeit win at 195 lbs., as did Nolan
Hodgins at 220 lbs.
Brad Taft then finished things off
with a win by pin at 285 lbs.
In a 50-18 win over Pathfinder,
Kent won by decision, Damien
Eisnor-Janosz by forfeit at 132 lbs.,
Tokowski by technical fall at 145
lbs., Guzik by pin at 18 seconds,
Yanosky by pin at 5:10, Roberts
by pin at 1:23, and Hodgins by pin
at 1:00.
in a 51-27 win over South
Hadley, Kyle Roe at 113 lbs. by
pin at 3:57, Nate Fernandes at 120
lbs. by pin at 0:33, Eisnor-Janosz
by pin at 0:51, Magalhaes by 6-3
decision, Rokowski by pin at 3:06,
Sarnacki by pin at 1:04, Yanosky
by forfeit and Hodgins by forfeit.
from the left side of the key, which
began a 13-0 run. Beauregard also
made another jumper during that
stretch and Sarnacki scored the
other nine points on inside baskets. She capped off the run with
an old fashion three-point play
increasing Granby’s lead to 27-13
with 1:30 remaining in the quarter.
“I normally don’t take as many
3-pointers as I did in the first
half,” Sarnacki said. “I needed to
take more inside shots in the second half.
An inside hoop by Paris Lizana
and a 3-pointer from the right
side by Remani Lizana sliced the
Sabis deficit to nine points (2718) before Sullivan knocked home
a 3-pointer from the left side.
With 4:50 left in regulation, the
Lady Bulldogs closed the gap to
34-27 on a 3-pointer from the left
corner by Paris Lizana.
The Lady Rams outscored the
Lady Bulldogs, 10-5, the rest of
the way.
Granby, who was scheduled
to play a non-league home game
against Hopkins Academy on
Tuesday night, will begin league
play by hosting rival Palmer at
Sullivan Gymnasium on Thursday
night.

TIGERS | from Page 14
by Szymczyk. With the
game at 3-1, the shots relatively even, 8-7 in favor of
Minnechaug.
The action to start the
second was hot and heavy.
Wa t k i n s w a s s t o p p e d
by Szymczyk at 13:59.
Minnechaug then rushed
down the ice on a breakaway, which Piteo finished
off at 13:38 from 5 feet.
Mariani had the assist. The
teams traded shots 15 and
30 seconds later. Mariani
from 10 feet, save by Garon;
Sullivan from 15 feet, save
by Szymczyk. Mazza was
on goal at 13:10, as the
Tigers kept the puck in.
Minnechaug cleared the
puck and made it 5-1. Tyler
DeCarolis finished off series
of passes from Piteo and
Walsh at 12:46 and it looked
as though the Falcons were
going to pull away.
The Tigers got the puck
back into the Minnechaug
zone. Szymczyk made a
save on Watkins at 12:25
and one on Sullivan at
11:42. Sullivan slipped one
by at 10:51 from 8 feet out.
Sean Doherty had the assist.
Tim Sweeney was stopped
at 9:46 by Szymczyk.
Then for the next 8:00,
the play was dominated
by Minnechaug. At 9:15,
Josh DeCarolis put one on
goal, as did Kowal 10 seconds later. At the midpoint
of the period, Piteo was
stopped and a minute later,
Hemenway had his shot
blocked by Garon. With
2:34 to go, Josh DeCarolis
was on goal and at 1:40,
Mariani was as well. The
score remained 5-2.
South Hadley made it a
two-goal game with 1:03
left in the second frame, as
Sullivan converted a pass
from Nick Thibault. With
the stops being made by
Garon, the Tigers were back
in the game. In the final
minute they had three shots
to make it a one-goal game
— Mazza from 15 feet at
0:55; Joao from 5 feet at
0:43; Watkins from 8 feet at
0:20. DeCarolis put one on
Garon with 10 seconds left
in the second. Both team
rang out 11 shots each, and
each scored twice to keep it
a two-goal game.
The action in the final
frame was largely in the
South Hadley end, but it
was more than 9:00 and five
blocked shots before the
Falcons could do anything.
Mariani was stopped
from 8 feet at 13:41; Walsh
was on goal at 10:58 and
Hemenway at 19:03. Tyler
DeCarolis had a 10-footer
blocked at 7:54 and Nathan
Champagne was stopped at
7:03.
Meanwhile the Tigers had
shots at 11:14 by Calkins
from 6 feet and by Mazza
at 6:52 from 8. Szymczyk
made the saves on both.
They would also be the only
shots on goal by the Tigers
in the period.
Minnechaug finally took
control in the final 6:00.
At 5:55, Lucas Cranston
scored on a pass from
Hemenway. Ten seconds
later, Hemenway found him
again. Austin Kareta also
had an assist on the second
one. Kowal had a shot on
goal at 2:41. With 19.9 seconds left Ed Wurszt, assisted
by Kareta got Minnechaug's
final goal.
Sullivan had one goal and
two assists, while Garon had
20 saves.
In their other action,
the Tigers lost 12-2 to
Wahconah and are now 4-61 on the season.

sophomore guard Travis Lanpher,
who scored eight of his 14 points
during the second half. Sophomore
guard Brodie Coughlin added six
points.
The Panthers, who also defeated the Orioles the past two years,
allowed their fewest points so far
this season.
While the Panthers have already
played nine games this season,
the Orioles (0-3) played their first
game after having more than 20
days off.
“We dealt with the same situation last year and it’s not a very
good thing to have that much
time off during the season,” said
Belchertown head coach Bill
Beauregard. “It’s tough for the kids
to practice every day without playing a game. It’s also hard to get
into a rhythm. Hopefully, we can
schedule more games at the start
of the regular season next year.”
The Orioles are scheduled to
play four back-to-back games during the rest of the regular season.
Senior center Connor Murray
and sophomore guard Nolan Vogel,
who are both starters, sat out
the Quabbin game with injuries.
Senior forward John Camerota also
didn’t play in the game because of
an injury.
“We were missing two starters because of injuries and it’s a
big loss for us,” Beauregard said.
“They’re also two of our leading
scorers.”
Sophomore forward Mitch
Medina, who finished with a teamhigh 13 points, and senior forward
Connor Davis (12 points) picked
up the slack offensively for the
home team against the Panthers.
No other Belchertown player
scored more than two points.
The score was tied a couple
of times in the first 4:00 of the
contest before a driving layup by
Davis gave the home team a 6-4
advantage. It was their only lead of
the game.
Two minutes later, the Panthers
had an 11-6 lead following a 70 spurt. Gabrielli scored four of
“We were looking to get Colby
the ball at the end of the game
because he’s our best free throw
shooter,” Sheehan said. “He did a
very good job at the line tonight.”
Overall, the Rams made 25 of
their 38 shots from the charity
stripe.
Granby junior guard Joe
Desormier scored seven of his
nine points during the second half,
while junior center Zach Gorham
scored seven of his nine points in
the first half. Junior guard Mike
Sosa added eight points. Junior
forwards Ethan King and Joe
Bessette scored six points apiece
off the bench for the home team.
While the Rams were able to
move above the .500 mark for
the second time this season, the
Indians (3-6, 1-5) lost their third
game in a row.
“We just didn’t come ready to
play defensively tonight,” said
Ware head coach Gary Soltys.
“They’ve always been a very good
team and we haven’t had very
much success against them.”
The Indians have now lost the
last 14 games in the series. Their
last win against the Rams was
by one point (48-47) on Dec. 29,
2008.
The Indians two leading scorers
in the first meeting of the season
against Granby were sophomore
guard Ryan Johnson and junior
center Fernando Montalbon,
who both scored a game-high 14
points.
The Indians only made nine of
their 27 free throw attempts.
Both teams traded baskets during the opening minutes of the
contest before a layup by Gorham
tied the score for the fourth time
at 8-8 with 4:35 left in the opening quarter. It jumpstarted a 9-2
Granby run.
With 2:00 remaining in the quarter, an old fashion three-point play
by Gorham increased the Rams
lead to 15-10.

those points on putbacks, which
were sandwiched around a layup
and a made free throw by Lanpher.
Another layup by Davis closed
out the scoring in the opening
quarter.
With a minute remaining in the
opening half, senior guard Phil
Brooks hit a jumper in the lane
capping off a 10-4 run, which gave
the Panthers their largest lead of
the first half at 21-12.
The visitors from Barre pulled
away at the start of the second
half by scoring eight unanswered
points.
Early in the third quarter,
Quabbin senior forward Dan
Salvadore dove on the floor for a
loose ball and he delivered a pass
to freshman guard Colby Smith
(four points), who scored a layup.
A pair of made free throws by
Gabrielli gave the Panthers a 3416 lead with 4:25 left in the third
quarter.
Gabrielli would score the
Panthers next nine points pushing
their lead to 20 points (38-18) for
the first time.
Medina scored nine of the
Orioles 11 points during the third
quarter.
The Panthers, who entered the
final quarter holding a 42-25 lead,
continued to pull away, as they
allowed just one field goal and
four made free throws during the
final 8:00 of the non-league contest.
Then a pair of made free throws
by junior forward Ivan Adams
(five points) sliced the Indians deficit to three points (15-12) entering
the second quarter.
The Indians closed the gap to
15-14 a minute into the second
stanza following a steal and layup
hoop by Johnson. The visitors
wouldn’t get any closer than that.
Granby would outscore Ware,
14-3, during the final 7:00 of the
first half to take a 29-17 halftime
lead. The Rams largest lead of the
opening half was 28-15 following a made free by Forbush with a
little more than 2:00 remaining in
the second quarter.
A little more than a minute into
the second half, Ware freshman
guard Devin Slattery (five points)
buried a 3-pointer from the left
side making it a nine-point game.
With 5:00 left in the third quarter, the Rams held a 35-22 advantage following a layup and an
inside basket by Bessette.
Montalbon answered with an
inside hoop and an old fashion
three point play at the other end of
the court making the score 35-27.
The Indians, who outscored the
Rams, 17-12 in the third quarter,
entered the final 8:00 of the contest only trailing by seven points
(41-34), as junior guard Joe Hebert
banked home a 3-pointer from the
right side of the key just before the
buzzer sounded.
It became a free throw shooting
contest during the fourth quarter.
Ware, who only made three of
their 13 foul shots during the final
quarter, got as close as 44-38 following a Montalbon inside hoop
with 4:27 to play in regulation.
Granby sealed the victory by
making 14 of their 20 foul shots
during the final quarter. Forbush
made six of those free throws for
the home team. The Rams only
made field goal of the final quarter
was a layup by Desomier.
The second meeting of the season between the rivals is scheduled
to take place at Ware High School
on Feb. 11.

Fire Association releases 2016 calendar
Guidance department
hosting financial aid night
GRANBY – Granby High School Guidance Department
will be hosting a Financial Aid Night on Thursday, Jan. 21
from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the high school library.
A representative from MEFA (Massachusetts Education
Financing Authority) will be available to explain to parents
the application process regarding financial aid.
This is a free event. Please contact the guidance office
for any questions 467-7106.
GRANBY – Residents shouldn’t be
surprised if they find a 2016 calendar
at their doorstep.
The Granby Fire Association has
released their annual calendar, which
serves as a fundraiser for the organization. Although residents aren’t required
to send back any money in order to
keep the calendar, the association will
accept donations of any amount.
Fire Chief Russ Anderson said the
association mailed out approximately
2,400 calendars, but have an additional 300 in stock for people who didn’t
receive one. They can be picked up at
the fire department, located at 259 East
State St. Those calendars are also available by donation.
There is no theme to the calendar,
though it does include a variety of photos from throughout the year. It offers a
glimpse into what firefighters do aside
from fight fires. The calendar features
images from trainings, community service work, awards and much more.
There are even clips of letters and
drawings the department received from
children through the SAFE program at
the schools.
Last year the fire association invested $8,000 into a new live fire-training prop for the department’s training
grounds, said Anderson.
