Public Safety Page 4 In the Classroom Page 10 Sports Pages 11 Volume 18 • Number 9 FREE THURSDAY, march 31, 2016 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 Stefanik students gain gardening experience By Tyler W. Leahy Staff Writer CHICOPEE – Gen. John J. Stefanik Memorial School students will roll up their sleeves and gain hands-on gardening experience, with grant money planting the seed for a new, exciting program. University of Massachusetts Amherst Auxiliary Enterprises 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 last year, funded by a previous grant from UMass Amherst. state competition before, so this is 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.

Turley Publications staff photo by Emily Thurlow 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.

I also have to thank our City Council. Without their commitment and support would not be able to be where we are today.” City Planner Lee Pouliot explained that the nearly fouracre parcel is zoned for residential and industrial use.

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 more information, visit the project’s website at www.

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- property from page 1 portion of the RiverMills 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 Schools food service department maintains the garden. 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 are learning all-new skills. It’s an appropriate age and they have the maturity to eagerly work,” said Hastings-Bineault.

Sampling locations are along Fuller Brook, Poor Brook, Abbey Brook, and the mainstem of the Chicopee River, between the North Wilbraham/Ludlow Bridge and the Davitt Bridge in Chicopee. To volunteer for sampling, contact Keith Davies at Chicopee 4 Rivers Watershed Council, chicopeewatershed@gmail. com or Patty Gambarini, Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, 413-781-6045 or pgambarini@pvpc.org. Volunteer teams will be responsible for col- lecting multiple samples at two to tree locations on Tuesday mornings between 7:30 and 9 a.m., and then delivering samples to PVPC’s office at 60 Congress Street in Springfield. Volunteer training will be held at Hubbard Memorial Library in Ludlow, Thursday, April 28 at 5:30 p.m. Volunteers will learn about sampling using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency bacteria source tracking protocol.

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. traffic each day from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during reclamation and grading period. • Resetting of curbing on Olea, Mary, Marcelle, and Arcade streets, now through April 8 This information is provided by the respective contractor, and is subject to change due to unforeseen conditions.

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. opinion ◆ 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 See PB & J page 7 WE CARE ABOUT YOUR NEWS!
