South Street School sale a no go

The outside of the former South Street School, next to Mary Lane
Hospital, which the town had put up for sale. The board voted
against selling it for use as a single-family home.
McGovern visits
summer food program
WARE – U.S. Congressman Jim
McGovern was among 15 guests
to speak in a roundtable discussion
as part of the third annual Summer
Food Rocks Tour. McGovern also
visited the Stanley M. Koziol
Elementary School during its free
lunch program for children. It also
hosts a free breakfast program for
children as well.
At Ware High School, McGovern
asked, “What can we do better?”
Sylvana Bryan, the Pittsfield public school nutrition director, said that
one problem is getting transportation
for children in need of the summer
food programs.
Abby Getman from the Food
Bank of Western Massachusetts, said
that “once you make meals more
accessible, more kids will eat them.”

WARE – Selectmen unanimously voted against selling the former South Street School property
Tuesday, after discussing it with
citizens.
It was formerly a school, and
after that it housed different town
and state offices as well as a district
court. The property became vacant
in 2006, and it now has several
issues, including lead paint, asbestos and some water damage.
Betsy Houde, a nurse at Clinton
Hospital, wanted to buy and renovate the former South Street school,
although she knows that it will need
a lot of work.
Houde is a licensed contractor,
who has renovated a number of
properties, both for profit before the
recession turned the housing market on its head, and for herself. “In
2005, I saw where the market was
headed and I opted out,” she said in
a phone interview Monday.
“I’m very excited about it, I really hope (the deal) goes through,”
she said. “It has a shelf-life of about
a year and a half to two years before
it will almost impossible to bring it
back.”
She said she intended it to buy
a single-family home for her own
family. Her youngest son will be
getting married eventually, and she
said Ware is a great place to start a
family.
Resident Paul Harper said he
believed that since the town “owns
it, I think we should keep it.” He
said the property is four and a half
acres, and the town would “not be
able to pay 90,000 dollars for that
type of acreage in the future.”
Selectmen John Desmond said
he did not participate in the executive session at 6:45 p.m. because
he wanted matters pertaining to the
property to be transparent to the
town.
“We don’t know what the future
is going to be,” said Desmond. “It’s
possible the land could be very
important for the town of Ware. It
would make more sense to keep it
than to sell it.”
Denis Ouimette, chairman of the
Finance Committee, said, “I would
love to keep it, but it comes to a
point where you got to get rid of it.”
Town Manager Stuart Beckley
said the South Street property is
hard for the town to structurally
maintain. He said it has been vacant
for about 10 years, and will continue to deteriorate the longer it
remains that way. It developed a
water leak that has gone through all
four floors.
Resident Maggie Sorel urged
selectmen to wait until they had
a fifth selectman before making a
decision. Selectman Bill Cooper
recently resigned after moving out
of town following his inability to
find affordable housing in Ware,
according to his resignation letter.

A look into
show business
A Chorus Line
performed in August
By Lauretta R. St. George-Sorel
WARE – Rehearsals are underway for the Ware Community
Theater’s production of “A
Chorus Line,” one of Broadway’s
most iconic and long-running
shows, scheduled for four performances next month in the Ware
Town Hall. The Aug. 4, 5, and 6

while a matinee on Sunday, Aug.
lar sites, which remain in the same

Little Leaguers raise money to fight cancer
Dinner and breakfast
fundraisers set
By Karen A. Lewis
Haven Jerome, Superintendent of
Ware schools Dr. Marlene DiLeo,
Dede Hay and U.S. Congressman
Jim McGovern talk about the
lunch last week in the Ware
Elementary School lunchroom.
7 will be at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15
for all performances.
The cast includes several
seasoned performers, many of
whom have worked with director
Christine Henry in prior shows as
well as with the show’s choreographer, Dina Del Buono. Henry
is a Ware resident who directed
several WCT productions, including the recent “We’re Happy
about the Whole Thing” and last
year’s “Into the Woods.” Her full
time job is as a manager of dental
offices, but she finds time to work
HARDWICK – For 11-year-old
Matthew Sands, playing baseball
has become a big part of his life.
“Baseball is one of those things
that just make you feel good,”
Sands said. “Whether you win or
lose, it’s still great to play.”
And being a member of the
Quabbin Sinclair Jimmy Fund All
Stars team brings a whole different meaning to playing for something as the mission for his team
is to raise funds for The Jimmy
Fund and the Dana-Farber Cancer
Institute.
As a matter of fact, all of the
Sinclair baseball teams raise money
for this worthwhile cause, including two others in the Quabbin area.
Left to right are Sam Bray, Nicholas Warburton and Marc St. Germain
at Janine’s Frostee in Ware. Marc St. Germain spoke to the crowd
twice about the fundraising efforts at Janine’s. The boys are members of the Quabbin Sinclair Jimmy Fund All Star Team.
In the case of Sand’s team
comprised of other 11-year-olds,
their goal is to use food and fun
as a way to bring in funds, as they
sponsor a pancake breakfast fund-
raiser and a wiffle ball game next
Saturday morning, Aug. 6, at the
Hardwick Winery.
The event will offer a breakfast
buffet which includes buttermilk
and blueberry pancakes, bacon,
sausage, hash brown casserole,
coffee and juice, with all proceeds
going to The Jimmy Fund.
Food will begin being served at
9 a.m. and will continue to 11 a.m.
Halfway through the breakfast at
10 a.m., after the team has had
time to put away a hearty supply
of pancakes, local men in blue will
battle this young group of all stars
in an exciting wiffle ball game
match-up on the winery grounds.
The Hardwick Police
Department All Stars have graciously offered to put it all on the
line against the Quabbin All Stars
and the outcome will be anyone’s
guess.
“I love pancakes and I think
everyone should come out because
we’re also going to have a wiffle ball game,” Sands said. “It’s

WARREN – The small park
space located behind the Warren
Town Hall building saw some tender
loving care last weekend as members from Warren Boy Scout Troop
142 performed some clearing and
repainting work in that space and on
some other parts of the building.
The group of eight, after meeting
with members of the Friends of the
Town Hall group and looking at the
space, spent much of the day clearing brush and doing some repainting work around the site.
“The Friends of the Town Hall
approached us while we were selling tickets [for another event],” said
Liam Carlson, a member of Scout
Troop 142 who directed the scouts
in this project. “Initially they asked
about clearing the bulkhead, then
about painting the doors and clearing the vines.”
Carlson, who is also working
towards achieving Life Scout rank,
added that he thought this project
would help him reach this next rank.
Life Scout is one rank right before
Eagle Scout, and a scout earns this
rank by earning merit badges, completing service hours and achieving
more leadership positions, and they
guide new scouts and help the troop.
Joined by fellow troop members,
leaders and families, much of the
work for the scouts’ project took
place in the park space behind the

July 28, 2016, Ware River News, Page Music for all seasons performed
at Community Pops concert
By Melina Bourdeau
Staff writer
WARE – The United Church of
Ware hosted a pops concert in the
church hall on Sunday, July 17,
with a variety of singers performing 14 songs followed by an ice
cream social.
The concert was free and open
to public, but the ice cream was $5
per person, which all goes towards
the Ware Fuel Bank.
Roughly 45 people were in
attendance to listen to popular
music performed live.
Although it is her first year as
the church’s music coordinator,
Karla Newmark said that the concert has been an annual tradition
for over 30 years.
The theme for the concert was
“What the world needs now”
inspired by the song. Newmark
chose the title as a way to tie
together the popular music.
She said she was thinking
about “what is happening in the
world and in our communities. We
want to reach out to those disadvantaged people and also young
people. I didn’t want the theme to
be as simple as ‘love.’ I wanted it
to be about the positive things we
can do to help out people in this
life.”
The songs ranged from the
early 20th century to more contemporary songs. There were
s eve r a l s o l o s f r o m Wa y n e
Gould, Cailan McClure and Neal
Schermerhorn.
Newmark said that one dilemma was getting younger people
to sing in the concert. Her granddaughter, Pandora Washburn, and
her grandson, Logan Gravel, both
sang in the concert.
Several of Washburn’s friends
from school performed as well.
Sam Biron and Cherylann
Skrocki who have been friends
since the second grade, sang “Cool
kids,” among the other younger
performers.
Biron said she sang in the concert because, “I owed it to Karla
because she helped me to hit high
notes in songs I can’t sing well.”
Skrocki added, “I came to sing
because of Sam. We’re friends
with Pandora and wanted to help.”
After the concert concluded,
the audience went into the dining
hall where they found plenty of
ice cream waiting for them.

Jeep hit fence at Nenamesek Square
WARE – A Jeep Wrangler
collided with the fence around
Nenamesek Square around 9:50 a.m.
on Tuesday, July 26. Thirteen to 14
feet of the fence were damaged, but
no one was injured or inside of the
vehicle at the time of the collision.

puppet, perform “Bein’ green.”
The vehicle was parked at the
Ryder Professional Center, when it
began to roll across the intersection
and into the fence.
Ware Police Officer Tod Bertini
said he believed the car was not in
gear. “We’re lucky there wasn’t anyone
playing Pokemon Go,” said Bertini.
“Or that there was an accident.”
Ware Parks Manager John
Piechota said, “We have some pieces from when it used to get hit, but
we don’t know how much it’s going
to cost to repair at this point.”

in the form of lumber and flooring, and in the form of volunteers
from Lowe’s of Ware. A number of
Lowe’s employees gave their time
to putting in a new floor at the food
pantry and installed new windows,
both of which were much-needed
improvements.
They also put up additional
shelving at the food pantry, which
helps many area families.
Lowe’s volunteers supplies

Learn lasagna gardening
technique, Aug. 13
Ice cream social, museum tours and music, Aug. 7
WARE – The public is invited to
attend a “Lasagna” gardening workshop at the Ware Center Meeting House
and Museum on Route 9 on Saturday,
Aug. 13 at 9 a.m. Lasagna gardening is
a technique that uses layers of organic material to build a desired garden
space in order to produce fertile soil.
The workshop will explore how to test
your soil, understand the importance of
pH, organic matter and mulch. The class
will then plant a “lasagna” garden under
the museum sign on the grounds of the
historic Meeting House in Ware.
“We had wanted to have some plantings on the grounds, but as an historic
site we do not want to disturb any artifacts that may be buried,” explains Carol
Zins, a Board of Governors member.
“The suggestion of a “lasagna” garden,
which is above the ground, is just what
we needed.” Attendees are asked to
bring gloves and a shovel to the workshop. A local western Massachusetts
master gardener will run the workshop.
Call 413-967-8304 to register today.

Being a teen
is not what it
seems
By Danelle Gravel
Intern
W
hen I was 13, I thought that after elementary and middle school, everything would just… happen. I thought
life would be like a Disney musical. A world
where you sing and dance about everything,
and that you hardly had to work on anything
in order to succeed. Boy, how wrong could
I be? Sadly, life is nothing like that. People
got meaner, tests got harder and backstabbing
went way beyond somebody stealing a crayon,
a pencil or a stick of gum.
I’ve found that being a teen is a lot like
being in the ocean. It’s a time to test the waters
and see who you really are as a person. For
some of the people that I know, it’s like being
on the R.M.S Titanic. You start out on this
seemingly happy cruise and then, guess what;
looks are deceiving. The iceberg hits and you
feel like you’re sinking no matter what. Even
though the music that the band is playing is
kind of calming people a bit, it just makes it
worse when you actually start to see the damages being done. You can start seeing what
your parents have to deal with like money
problems and frustrating problems with the
car, house and other things.
The only decision you can make at that
point is to either jump ship and abandon hope
or get on a lifeboat and wait for everything to
calm down so you can be rescued. I personally
found it better to get on the little boat with a
bunch of strangers than to jump off the sinking ship and tempt fate itself. It might seem
easier to just jump ship and pray that you
make it out alive, but if you challenge yourself
and do something that you find difficult, you
might just find that there is a silver lining in
every dark cloud. Don’t give up just because
everybody else is. There is an up side to being
unique.
I’ve found that the harder you fight for
something, the easier it gets to fight for it.
Being a teen only lasts for six years. I still
haven’t figured out if the world actually gets
easier with time or if that’s just a saying that
somebody made up to make us think that
life was easier. No matter what, I like to try
reminding myself that somebody out there,
whether I know them or not, has it worse than
I do, even if we are fighting the same battle.
My favorite quote about strength is : “Life
has many ways of testing a person’s will, either
by having nothing happen or by having everything happen at once.”
I know this may sound like something I
took off of a guidance counselor’s office wall,
but hear me out, guys. Everything has a purpose, especially your life on earth. You never
know what your purpose is until the battle
ends and the fog clears. God gives His hardest
battles to His strongest soldiers.

A
In My Backyard
By Ellenor Downer
A
Petersham resident saw a pair of chestnut sided warblers
and shortly after he saw a blue-gray gnatcatcher in his
backyard.
The chestnut sided warbler is a common bird of second
growth and scrubby forests. It is about 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 inches
long.
The male has a bright yellow crown and the nape is pale
gray streaked with black. Its back is striped yellow and black
and the tail black. There is a black stripe from the bill to behind
eye. It throat, chest, belly and under tail are white. As the name
implies, the sides have a long narrow chestnut streak. It also has
two broad yellowish wing bars.
The female has a smaller area of chestnut on her sides than
the male. Her crown is greenish yellow. The back is green with
black streaks.
Its song is a “see, see, see, see Miss Becher’er” or “please,
please, pleased to meet’cha.” These warblers winter in Central
America. In the summer, they inhabit the northeast United
States and southern Canada.
Great blue herons
I heard a croaking call and looked up to see two great blue
herons fly over my house last week. They were probably traveling from one pond to another. For large birds, they are graceful
fliers.
Were you last chosen?
re you athletic? I am not. In
three years of high school gym
playing pick-up basketball both
teams stopped play when I made a
rebound basket for my only score in
all those years. In baseball, the furthest
I ever hit the ball was second base. I
skipped high school one day with
a friend who took me to a candlepin
bowling alley where I learned the game.
Years later I joined a league that played
at the Central Lanes located below the
old Plymouth Theater in Worcester,
and I played for four or five years until
in my final year I finished last in the
league; before that, I had consistently
finished next to last. My high score in
bowling was a 130, and that was the
only time I had a three string total that
exceeded 300. Obviously, I was not an
athlete.
My strength was in my brain. I
always found learning easy and progressed easily through high school,
where my only C was in gym. I received
three Bs—one in penmanship, one the
first year I took Spanish and the last one
in law.
The C in law was the result of my
taking an authorized month off to travel
to the Carolinas and Florida with my
father while he was taking commercial

colored bracts. Unique indeed!
Monarda fitulosa or wild beebalm has lilac
purple flowers on three to four-foot, easy to
grow plants. The minty citrus scent is especially evident with this species. Similar yet
is Monarda citriodora, an annual variety that
goes by common names that include lemon
bergamot, lemon bee balm and lemon mint.
For years I grew it specifically for use as
a dried flower, harvesting stems of mauvepurple flowers after two or three whorls had
formed. I found that if hung upside down in a
dark, airy spot, color retention would be quite
remarkable, and its stems would remain sturdy
enough for making wreaths and arrangements.
Allow it to grow out the summer in your garden, and you will be delighted with flowers
from late June through the first frost.
There is sure to be a bee balm to suit your
fancy and your garden situation. Plant one
now for years of enjoyment- beginning this
time next summer!

I always felt frustrated since by then the
graduate school offered grades only as
“pass/fail.” In graduate school, you must
attain a B or better to pass a course. I
was used to getting As and I did not like
it that someone who scraped by was
equally graded as I was. I wanted my As
to be on the record, but it was not to be.
I wonder how many students have
not worked to their capacity since it
didn’t matter what grade you got, only
that you met the requirements of the
course—in other words, that you earned
at least a B. I think that was a mistake
of the administration. Worcester State
adopted a policy where one course a
semester could be taken pass/fail, and
I was opposed to that approach. If the
student earns an A, give him or her the
A! A future employer I’m sure would
like to distinguish between the student
with As on the transcript versus a person with a number of Bs.
There are natural athletes among us,
there are the intellectually gifted and
then there are the rest of us. Where do
you fit in? Wherever it is, be proud of
what you are and don’t think of yourself
as second-best. You are you, and you
have done the best you can with what
you had to work with.
Use whatever skills you have to make
your way in the world, and don’t take a
back seat to anyone who claims to be
superior because of his or her genes.
Turkey poults
In my travels, I have seen several flocks that include two
or three hens and their poults. Recently, I stopped to let the
poults cross the street. One hen was already across and several
followed her, some stayed in the middle of the road and a few
went back into the brush on the side of the road. Finally, they
started crossing again and I counted 14. About six had already
crossed. Another hen, took up the rear. The wild turkey population certainly is increasing judging by the number of poults that
I have seen.
Water
With this draught, water is a precious commodity. Many
animals and birds have to search for water to drink and bathe.
Keeping birdbaths clean and filled with fresh water helps them.
For those that do not have a birdbath, a large clay pot saucer or
a pie plate works as a substitute. If it is left low on the ground,
small animals and toads can obtain water as well.
Young birds
The rose-breasted grosbeaks did raise at least one offspring
this year. I saw its mother feeding her practically full-grown
juvenile. It also comes to my feeder. I also saw a tufted titmouse
feeding its “baby” perched in the lilac bush.

Better Business Bureau joins Worcester Bravehearts in saluting the troops
WORCESTER – On July 29, the
Worcester Bravehearts host military appreciation night and Better
Business Bureau of Central New
England will be in attendance to
show our support to the troops.
The team plays at the Hanover
Insurance Park at Fitton Field, 1
College St. in Worcester, on the
campus of the College of the Holy
Cross.

a target population for scammers or
unethical business practices,” said
Nancy B. Cahalen, President and
CEO of the Better Business Bureau
of Central New England. “BBB’s
Military Line offers educational
resources to help our troops protect themselves from unscrupulous
marketplace practices and scams.

important because we’re doing this
for a good cause.”
Tickets are $12 for adults and $8
for children age 3 through 12 years.
To be a member of this Sinclair
team, made up of 12 players from
the surrounding Quabbin towns,
players had to be recommended by
their Little League coaches and all
went through a try-out process.
All of the Sinclair teams play
for approximately six weeks, with
about five regular season games
and the option for a playoff run.
The Quabbin Sinclair team of 11year-olds has fared well, posting a
2-1 record.
Wins against Chuckstone of
Athol 13-1 and North Leominster
9-1 gave a chance for the Quabbin
players to show off their skills.
“We have a great mix up of
everything,” Sands, who can usually be seen in either left or right
field, said. “Our hitters make solid
contact, that’s how they do so well.
We have amazing pitchers, a good
infield and outfield, just a great
team overall.”
According to Quabbin head
coach Tim Dimauro, the season is
fast paced, but the players are talented and the boys love playing
baseball.
“The team has gelled very well
and they have a great attitude,”
Dimauro said. “By playing baseball, it brings awareness to the fight
and the struggle with cancer.”
Individually, many of the
Quabbin Sinclair players on the
various teams have been spotted
out in the community looking to
raise money for the Jimmy Fund.
Some have stood outside Dunkin’
Donuts, Klem’s discount department store and other popular places
of business.
Tomorrow evening on Friday,
July 29, the Quabbin Sinclair 10year-old All Star team will be
sponsoring a pasta and meatball
dinner at the Barre Congregational
Church, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for
children 3 to 7 years.
As a show of appreciation, the
Sinclair player that earns the most
money while fundraising also earns
the opportunity to treat himself
and his team to a trip to a Red Sox
game and to present the check to
the Jimmy Fund organization.
For all of the Sinclair players,
the chance to be able to forge new
friendships while playing baseball
and raising money for a worthy
cause has been a memorable way to
spend their summer vacation.
“I’ve gotten to meet new friends
and I get to have fun while I play
baseball,” Sands said.
Tickets for the pancake breakfast are available in advance either
at the Hardwick Winery by calling 413-967-7763, or by calling
Ann Marie St. Germain at 413-4275162.
Tickets to the pasta and meatball dinner may be purchased at the
door.

the clearing and pruning work and repainting
the doors red, the scouts
also cleaned and repainted the bulkhead to a gray
color. They also scraped
down and repainted the
picnic table red. They
also repainted around the
smaller door at the front
of the Town Hall in gray
and the piece of plywood
above it. After a day’s
hard work, the scouts
reclaimed the space that
people can once again
use.

Liam Carlson (far left) directs younger scouts Aven (right) and Zack Hipple (center) on how to go about painting the bulkhead at the back of the building,
with young thespians, including her
12-year-old son, who already has a
thriving career in theater and movies. Henry stressed that she wanted
parents to be aware that “A Chorus
Line” is an adult-themed show.
Del Buono, a Chicopee resident,
has choreographed productions for
numerous theater groups, including
the Wilbraham Players, Ludlow’s
Exit 7 Players, the Majestic
Theater in West Springfield and
Bay Path College productions.
Acknowledging that “A Chorus
Line” is a very challenging show,
she said, “It’s definitely a task, since
some members of the cast are not
so experienced in dance, and this
is a dance-driven production.” She
felt confident, however, that the cast
will be ready for opening night.
The leading role of Cassie is
played by Sturbridge resident, Julia
Labuski, who will be a sophomore
at Boston Conservatory this fall,
where she is majoring in opera.
Although she has appeared in other
productions of “A Chorus Line,” she
is thrilled to be playing the role of
Cassie for the first time. She previously played the role of Cinderella
in WCT’s production of “Into the
Woods.”
Courtney Lyons, a graduate of
Westfield State University, plays the
role of Judy Taylor in “A Chorus
Line.” Lyons said, “This show is
more challenging, dance-wise, than
any I’ve been in.” Asked whether
she favored performing on opening
night or on the show’s final night,
she said, “I love opening night best,
because everybody’s so excited.”
Musical director of the local production is Karla Newmark, a Ware
resident who is originally from
California. A professional musician,
Newmark has been involved in four
or five WCT productions, and she
also directs the music programs at
the United Church of Ware.
The Tony Award-winning musical examines one day in the lives of
a group of dancers competing for a
spot in the chorus line of a new production. Following the first round of
“cuts” during an audition, the director, Zach, asks each dancer to speak
about himself or herself, giving the
audience insight into each dancer’s
individuality. He discovers that one
of the girls auditioning is his former lover, Cassie. Based on real
Broadway dancers’ stories, as told
to fellow dancer and choreographer
Michael Bennett, “A Chorus Line”
is funny, heartbreaking, and refreshingly honest.
Memorable musical numbers
include “I Can Do That,” “At the
Ballet,” “Dance: Ten, Looks: Three,”
“The Music and the Mirror,” “What
I Did for Love,” and “One Singular
Sensation.” The late Marvin
Hamlisch wrote the score.
Nominated for 12 Tony Awards
in 1976, the show won nine, including Best Musical, Best Score, Best
Director, and Best Choreography. It
opened on Broadway at the Shubert
Theater in July 1975, and ran for
6,137 performances.
“A Chorus Line” presents a true
picture of what it’s like to be in the
theater: glamorous at times, but also
tough, heartbreaking, and sometimes tragic.
FOOD
from page 1
McGovern and several other representatives from organizations like Project
Bread, the Food Bank of Western
Massachusetts and members of the
Ware community visited the Stanley
M. Koziol Elementary School during
its summer food lunch program.
McGovern spoke to several children eating lunch as well as children
from Ware’s Kid Stop program.
Jeff Nicholas, Ware Public
Schools’ food service director, said
the Ware summer food program has
been in operation for over 20 years.
They serve breakfast from 8 to 9
a.m. and lunch from 11:30 a.m. to
12:30 p.m. at SMK Monday through
Friday during the summer.
Nicholas said that all children
under the age of 18 are welcome, no
matter where they are from. There is
no identification needed. Adults can
purchase a meal for $3.
“Our mission is to just feed children,” said Nicholas. “The more children we feed, the more outreach we
have, the more reimbursement we get
and the more support we can get for
the program.”
Kevin Concannon, the United
States Dept. of Agriculture undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services, said mobile sites “discriminate against rural communities.”
He said the only way that a person
can get access to the food is through
summer school, but school buses
do not provide transportation at this

Town votes to approve amended school budget
By Colleen Montague
Staff writer
WA R R E N – Wa r r e n vo t e r s
approved a new Quaboag Regional
School District budget with 184 in
favor and 142 against it during the
Special Town Meeting held on July
20 at the district’s middle high school.
A motion to reconsider to vote was
defeated.
At the annual Town Meeting on
May 10, Warren voters passed a
$3,360,132 School District budget. Following the vote at the West
Brookfield annual Town Meeting, the
schools did not have a budget and the
school committee had to go back and
try to reduce the budget.
The committee presented their recertified budget to the Warren selectmen on June 14. Under the article at
the Special Town Meeting last week,
the school requested $3,529,794 for
the total Quaboag Regional School
District assessment. A “yes” vote
meant that the town voted to give the
school an additional $169,000 over
the $225,000 it had already approved
over the district’s foundation budget.
Voting “no” would have meant voting
the same amount that was approved at
the annual Town Meeting,which was
$225,000 over the minimum contribution.
During discussion that followed,
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brett
Kustigian said that positions already
cut under this budget—totaling around
$157,734—included a secretary position, one paraprofessional, a half-time
custodian, .66 central office staff, and
a half-time physical therapist. There
were also additional cuts that included
an administrative furlough day, loss of
technology, copiers, special education
services, and copiers, and there would
be increases to the district’s unemployment payments.
Kustigian emphasized that they
Board receives overview
on hospital changes
By Colleen Montague
Staff writer
WARREN – Mike Moran, president and chief administrative officer of Baystate Health East, accompanied by Community Relations
Manager Michelle Holmgren, came
to the selectmen’s meeting Tuesday
at the request selectman James
Gagner.
He had asked the hospital to
address concerns about the proposed changes to services should
the proposal to merge the system’s
Mary Lane and Wing hospitals be
approved. Gagner said he requested
Moran to come in and “give [everyone] the facts,” after hearing stories
and rumors in the community.
Focusing on the Baystate Mary
Lane Hospital, Moran explained that
the proposal was to consolidate inpatient services down at Baystate Wing
Hospital in Palmer. He said Mary
Lane Hospital has 25 licensed beds
for inpatient services and averaged
between six to ten patients for the
last few years; at Wing Hospital, they
had around 46 available licensed
beds and averaged between 20 to 23
patients per night. Ideally, he added,
an 85-percent occupancy was the
“sweet spot” for a hospital’s efficiency and appropriate staffing. Mary
Lane has had 20 percent occcupancy and Wing has has 50 percent
occupancy, he said. Moran stated
that they are still waiting for approval from the Department of Public
Health to consolidate services.
Outpatient services currently at
the hospital would still remain. The
largest percentages of services at
the hospital were outpatient services, and that they did around 49,800
outpatient services there every year
plus 14,000 visits to the emergency department. He also included a
handout that listed the services the
hospital provides.
Moran presented a chart to the
selectmen that showed the comparisons and changes between the
current Emergency Department and
the proposed Satellite Emergency
Facility, pending DPH approval. He
said no changes are proposed to the
emergency department apart from
the name change, and that all of the
services would be exactly the same
as what is there presently. The only
exception would be to require nurses
to have Certified Emergency Nurse
(CEN) designation by the end of
2016 where it would be a satellite
emergency facility, while under the
current emergency department only
some nurses have this designation.
One resident asked if there were
any plans of putting in an urgent
care at Mary Lane Hospital. Moran
explained that the only space that
would become available for that
would be the inpatient unit, around
the third floor, which didn’t lend
itself to that. He said trying to provide urgent care next to a satellite
emergency facility would be problematic. Moran said he is valuating
the system’s urgent care strategy
should be and how to provide it.
There was also a question about
the number of jobs that would be
lost at the hospital, Moran stated
that eliminating positions was the
last thing they wanted to do. He
explained that some people had
already been transferred, and that
they had encouraged others, who had
begun looking for other work, to stay
and help with the transition.
Purple Heart appreciation breakfast, Aug. 7
WARREN – The Warren
Veterans Council invites fellow veterans, friends and family
to help them honor the town’s
Purple Heart recipients by
attending a Purple Heart appreciation breakfast on Sunday,
Aug. 7, at 10 a.m. at the Warren
Senior Center on Main Street.
The breakfast is free due to
the generosity of the Warren
Patrolman’s Association, the
Warren Ambulance Association,
t h e Wa r r e n F i r e m a n ’ s
Association, John Fijol and family and Dunkin’ Donuts at 1300

could not pull these positions back. If
the town voted “no,” Kustigian said,
there would be more cuts in addition
to these including a library paraprofessional at all three school buildings,
one full-time social studies teacher at
the high school, a family/consumer
science teacher at the high school, a
full-time special education teacher at
the high school, the loss of all extracurricular activities, cutting all middle school sports and all department
chairs; in this case, the total cut would
be $431,665.
There was also a question about
whether property taxes would increase
with this budget, and if they did what
the percentage per thousand would be.
Finance Committee Chairman Barry
Mongeon said that at this point in the
year, it was not known how much
taxes would increase until the end of
the year, which comes in September,
although the taxes would go up for
many reasons,.
Mongeon said that while the
Finance Committee couldn’t yet give
a general figure as to whether the tax
rate would go up or down, $100,000
would generally be a quarter on the
tax rate. He also said that with the
total amount being asked for this year,
there would still be an additional tax
over the minimum contribution.
Main Street parking lot
Voters also approved using
$104,000 to buy the parcel that the
former Tebo’s building at 980 Main
St. sits on, after the building is demolished by the current owner. The town
voted to pass the article 192 in favor
to 80 against.
There was also much discussion
over the second article on the meeting
warrant, which was to see if the town
would vote to authorize the selectmen
to acquire the property at 980 Main
Street, the former Tebo’s building.
The article called for a transfer of
$104,000 from the town’s stabiliza-
tion fund to pay for it.
Selectman James Gagner said that
the selectmen had begun conversations with the owner about what might
make the most sense with the property. If it passed, they would be able
to purchase the lot, remove the building, have the lot filled in and covered
with stone dust to be a parking lot.
The owner would take on the responsibility of taking down the building,
including any asbestos. If the article
passed, they hoped to begin within 30
days of approval, but due to the downtown project underway, it would have
to be determined later. Gagner added
that they would be using this for additional parking in the downtown area,
since they were losing seven to eight
parking spaces with the downtown
project.
Several residents expressed concerns that if the building were purchased from the owner, the town
would not demolish the building.
Gagner stated that the payment
would not be made until the work
was complete, which was also part
of the agreement. He also stated that
the town would never own the building—they would own the lot after the
building was removed.
Selectmen Chairman Dario Nardi
said that the vote was just to authorize
them to use money from the stabilization fund to purchase the property, and that the town was not going
to enter into an agreement with the
owner unless everything was finalized
and town counsel had reviewed the
purchase and sale agreement.
A motion to amend the article to
borrow money from the stabilization
fund, not just take money from it for
the purchase was defeated. A motion
to reconsider the article was also
defeated.
The town also voted to raise and
appropriate $5,000 to the special duty
police advance account.
Friends of the Town
Hall hold third race
Colleen Montague
Staff writer
WARREN – Despite little rain and high
temperatures over the course of the last
several weeks, families and area residents
assembled along the eastern side of Lucy
Stone Park for the third Friends of the Town
Hall Duck Race late last Saturday morning.
The group, founded in 2013, uses fundraising and takes part in other activities and
events to support work, including restoration
and preservation, of the Town Hall building
in the center of Warren. The duck race at
Lucy Stone Park is one of several fundraisers
the group holds to raise money, which may
be matched by grants at some point.
Over the several weeks, residents could
purchase a single duck, a group of a half
dozen, or a “flock” for the race. The 100
or so rubber ducks were released into the
Quaboag River at the starting point by the
east side of the park and sent to drift down to
the finish line down by the west side, where
volunteers caught the first three to finish in
different nets to mark first, second and third.
The river was so low from lack of rain
that they had to push them along until the
current was found. The winners of this
year’s race were Steven Skowyra (duck 141)
in first; Dippin’ Donuts (duck 539), from an
anonymous donation to area businesses, in
second; and Audrey Otte (duck 324) in third.
Volunteers set up a netting in the water at the west
side of Lucy Stone Park in Warren to catch all the
remaining ducks as they drift down to the finish line.
Deploy the ducks! The rubber ducks are dropped into the river to drift downstream to the finish line, but because the water level was so low,
they had to be pushed down the river until they reached the current.
Quaboag athletic fees rise
By Colleen Montague
Staff writer
WARREN – The Quaboag
Regional School District Committee
approved an increase in athletic fees
to $85 per year per student, $50
per year per student for those who
receive free or reduced students, with
a family cap of two times the regular
fee, or $170, after much discussion
at their meeting of July 2.
At its previous meeting on May
20, the School Committee had discussed and voted to set or increase
fees for programs like band and chorus, implementing a school choice
bus fee, increasing before school
program fees and raising the park-
ing fees. There had also been some
discussion about raising the athletic
fees during that meeting, but the
subject was tabled until the budget
figures were firmed up.
Director of Finance and
Operations Camie Lamica and
School Committee member Jason
Morgan, also chairman of the Budget
Subcommittee, told the members that
after the discussion at the last meeting, the subcommittee reviewed the
athletic fees and came up with recommendations.
Currently, the athletic fees are $75
per year per student with no fee for
free or reduced students, and there is
a family cap of $150. Following the
discussion the subcommittee’s rec-
ommendation was to raise the fees to
$100 per year for all students with a
cap of $300, Morgan said.
There was also some discussion
about what the family cap was based
on, and whether they should raise
it. Morgan said that the current fee
of $75 per student per year with the
$150 cap was based on two students
playing a sport. Lamica said that
during this past year they had at least
one family that had three students
that hit the cap.
School Committee member
Robert Souza said he disapproved
of raising the fees at all. “It is premature to vote on raising the fees
now when we don’t know what’s
going to happen,” said Souza, adding
that there were many unknowns with
changes to come, and he believed
that fees should remain as they are.
Lamica said that if the current fees
were kept in place, based on the numbers from last year, they would generate $11,850, but would need $12,000
more the budget allowed to run the
programs, which cost $24,000.
If the fees were raised to $85 per
student per year and a fee of $50 per
student per year for free and reduced
students, it would generate around
what they needed to run the programs within the budget. There was
also another choice of increasing
the fee to $90 per student per year,
and then reduce the fee for free and
reduced students to $40.

Orioles turn back Ware

The third week of the Ware Indians Basketball Camp took place at the
Ware High School gymnasium last week.
Hoops camp wraps up
for summer season
By Dave Forbes
Turley Publications
Sports Staff Writer
WARE – For three weeks each
summer, the gymnasium at Ware
High School is filled with young
boys and girls working on their basketball craft.
The sound of basketballs bouncing on the hardwood floor is a common sound to hear, along with that
of the ball bouncing off the backboard or rim during the late morning
hours any Monday through Friday.
The last day of the Ware Indians
Basketball Camp for the 2016 summer season was last Friday, and the
final week of the program was a
great success, according to camp
director Dan Orszulak.
“We had another great week
here,” Orszulak said. “The kids
have been coming in and working
hard each day. It is great to see them
learning. For some of these kids this
is the first time that they are picking up a basketball, while for others
they have been playing the game for
a year or two.”
One of the biggest things he,
along with camp assistants Kara
Rys, Julianna Vadnais, Nathan and
Lily, have been working on is making sure that the kids do not travel
with the basketball. Traveling is a
violation of the rules that occurs
when a player holding the ball
moves one or both of their feet
illegally. Most commonly, a player
travels by illegally moving his or her
pivot foot or taking three or more
steps without dribbling the ball.
“The biggest thing we are trying
to teach the kids is that they have
to do something with the basketball
first,” Orszulak said. “The natural
instinct is to want to move first, but
we are trying to teach them to either
dribble the basketball or shoot or
pass the ball to a teammate.”
Orszulak mentioned that most
of the kids taking part in this camp
will more than likely take part in the
in town league in the fall.
“We want them to take what they
have learned from this week and
use it in their leagues in the fall,”
Orszulak said. “Id they do that, then
I would consider that to be a great
success.”
WILBRAHAM – For over 30
minutes, the Belchertown and Ware
5th-6th grade boys basketball teams
provided great entertainment for all
those in attendance at Court #2 at
the Spec Pond Summer Basketball
League.
In the end, though, it was the
young Orioles that were able to
come away with a 29-15 victory.
The Ware defense helped the
Indians offense get out to a fast
start for an 8-2 lead. The Indians
used a combination of different zone defenses to help trap
the Belchertown offense. Colby
McDonnell had four points in the
run, while Gavin Kanoczek and
Owen McKeever had the other
hoops.
Belchertown would answer back
with the next seven points to take
their first lead of the contest at 98. Jack Dragon and Caleb Boyko
started the run by each hitting a free
throw, followed by a Jack Dinapoli
jumper and a Boyko basket to even
the score at 8-8. Jack McDonald
then added a free throw to put the
Orioles in front at 9-8.
Ware would come back to retake
the lead at 11-9 thanks to a free
throw by Jack McKeever and a nice
drive to the hoop for a basket by
Tanner Fontaine.
Belchertown would answer with
jumpers by Dinapoli and CJ Rivers
in the final moments of the first half
to a 13-11 lead at the break.
Ware evened the score with a
jumper by Carer Moorhouse in the
first minute of the second half, but
the Orioles took control of the contest with 10 straight points thanks
to three inside hoops from Boyko,
a Jackson Couchon layup and one
from Tyler McDonald.
There is a little bit more than
a week left in the regular season.
Belchertown was scheduled to face
Warriors-E.L. earlier this week.
Their remaining contests are against
the Ludlow Lions at 6 p.m. Sunday,
July 31, and the ECBO Running
Rebels #1 at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug.
2. Ware has three games left in the
regular season as they face WarriorsE.L. at 5 p.m. Thursday, July 28,
the Wilbraham Falcons at 7 p.m.
Sunday, July 31, and the Hampshire
Raiders at 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5.
The postseason is scheduled to
begin the following week.

Local talent featured in ITBL all-star game Soccer style with a British twist
By Gregory A. Scibelli
gscibelli@turley.com
SPRINGFIELD – All-Star Games
are always about fun and showcasing talent.
But on Monday afternoon, it
was also about showcasing a league
that is oozing with budding talent
playing at Western New England
University, the first-ever ITBL, the
Independent Travel Baseball League,
All-Star Game.
The game featured the best players from the four teams in the 16 and
under division.
One of the coaches, Dan Asselin,
the coach of the Western Mass
DiamondJaxx, headed a team that
included a plethora of talented from
the DiamondJaxx and Dream Bat
Red team. Players came from all
over the area, including Agawam,
Chicopee, Wilbraham, Belchertown,
Granby, and Ware.
“It’s a great league and we are
just in our first year,” said Asselin.
“There is some great talent and great
competition here in the league.
Andrew Sullivan, a resident of
Agawam, said he enjoyed getting
the opportunity to join several of his
teammate and be part of the game.
“It was a lot of fun,” he said.
“There are a lot of great players and
I was honored to be picked.”
Nick Fedak, who played for
the freshman team at Minnechaug
Regional, got have some fun, adding third base to his usual middle
infield work in the game. He said the
league has really helped him step up
his game, and the all-star appearance
helped show off his hard work.

Jake Crevier, of Ware, makes a delivery to home plate.
“I put in a lot of work this season and the coaches have helped me
improve as a fielder and a hitter,” he
said. “The mechanics of my swing
are much better now.”
Jake Crevier, who pitches for
Ware High School, said he had a
good time at the game. He pitched
one inning for Asselin’s squad,
which was the home team in the
game.
“It was a pretty awesome time,”
he said. “This is only the second
time I have ever been a part of an
all-star game. We get to have a lot of
fun and that’s what I am here for.”
Crevier said baseball is a big passion, as he plays spring ball with the
high school team, summer with the
DiamondJaxx, and in some tournaments in the late summer.
Dylan Weiss of Chicopee said
the experience was the culmination
of his hard work. He plays about 60
games throughout the year and is a
year round baseball player.
“It was great to see all my hard
work pay off,” said Weiss, who also
pitched an inning in the game.
Asselin said there is one week
left in the regular season before a
double elimination playoff takes
place. He is looking forward to the
league expansion next season, when
it is expect more teams will join the
league.
WEST BROOKFIELD - While
the weather might have been a bit
on the steamy side, it was not as
hot as the action taking place on
the fields behind West Brookfield
Elementary School.
A total of 75 boys and girls (68
in the older age groups and seven
in the mini-kickers program) took
part in the annual British Soccer
Camp sponsored by the West
Brookfield Youth Soccer program.
“We had a really good turnout this week,” said camp director Craig Moseley. “The kids have
been here working hard, learning
and having a lot of fun at the same
time. That is the goal of the camp.
We want the kids to learn a lot, but
we also want them to have a lot of
fun at the same time.”
Each day includes individual
foot skills, technical drills, tactical practices, small-sided games,
coached scrimmages, and a daily
World Cup tournament.
Moseley said the camp is also
good for kids to experience a different style of soccer.
“Most of the soccer coaches
from this area are more familiar
with the American style of soccer,
so this gives the opportunity for the
kids to experience the British style
of playing the game,” Moseley
said. “There are some differences
between the two styles of game
that is really good for the kids to
be able to experience.”

but we also had many new competitors. This race brought together seasoned triathletes and firsttimers, teens and athletes in their
70’s, and the youngest triathletes
in the kid’s race to really make it a
great family event!
The triathlon began seven
years ago when the town of West
Brookfield celebrated its 250th
anniversary. Since then, the race
has drawn participants from all
over Massachusetts and other New
England states. For more information about race standings and

The committee would like to
thank the many people who volunteered their time and resources to
support the triathlon. Thank you! To the West Brookfield lifeguards, volunteer kayakers, boaters, and regional dive team: thank
you for watching out for all of our
swimmers, ready to assist.
To the West Brookfield Police
and other local police departments: thank you for ensuring the
safety of our bikers and runners
by directing traffic and giving our
athletes peace of mind so they
could focus on their race.
To the West Brookfield Rescue
Squad and Ambulance crews:
thank you for providing the assurance of onsite medical care to
everyone on the course and at the
beach.
To the Warren/West Brookfield
CERT: thank you for monitoring
and maintaining safe racing conditions.

Bankers capture regular season title
By Gregory A. Scibelli
gscibelli@turley.com
HOLYOKE – PeoplesBank
has clinched the regular season
championship in the Tri-County
Baseball League with one game
remaining in the regular season
and is looking forward to the
playoffs with the top seed all
locked up.
Peoples captured that designation when they defeated Teddy
Bear Pools last Tuesday evening
on their home turf of Mackenzie
Stadium in Holyoke, where they
will have the home advantage
throughout the playoffs.
Standing in their way are
some tough challengers coming in Wilbraham Funeral Home
and Easthampton Savings Bank,
which are likely to lock up second and third seeds, though their
final standings were still being
determined earlier this week.
Last Tuesday night, it was a
tight game for the Bankers as
they edged out Teddy Bear Pools
2-0. Teddy Bear Pools owns the
only win over PeoplesBank this
season. But a stellar performance
from Bob Hamel gave Teddy
Bear no chance.
But the visitors also got good
pitching, allowing just single runs
to the Bankers in the third and
fifth innings.
Ted Lerud drove in the first run
with an RBI single to gap between
third base and shortstop. He would
go 3-for-3 as the designated hitter
in the cleanup spot. Dave Clark
had a 2-for-2 evening and Palmer’s
Joe Ferry went 2-for-3.
The road to another great run
for the Bankers has been due to
two things: Offense and depth.
The offense this season
for Peoples has been the same
offense the league is used to seeing. A veteran lineup featuring
many of the same familiar faces
such as Tommy Bouvier, Ryan
Franczek, Clark, and Lerud at the
top of the order for the past few
years.
Other veterans like Ferry at
the bottom of the order along
with catcher Pete Hogan, Sam
Goodwin-Boyd, and Ray Rivera
have all been consistent. Vinnie
Fortini and Sam Allen have also
filled in the vacancy created at
third base this season.
The depth has come in the
pitching ranks. The league has
been used to the dominance of
Joe Popielarczyk and Nick
Noblit, along with Danny and
Andy Gaines.
However, this season, Noblit
has pitched just a few innings
and Popielarczyk has been hit a
little more than usual. Added to
the mix this year has been the
lefty Hamel, a freshman in college who was a four-year varsity
pitcher at Southwick.
Also joining the team this year
and providing a lot of innings
is Seth Sypniak, a righty from
Holyoke High School who did
not pitch in college his freshman
year, but return home from school
and provided great innings and
picked up a few wins for Peoples
this year.
Matt Kirk, a second-year
member of the team, pitched very

well in relief this season, and Seth
Allen has been a great contributor
in the late innings.
Playoffs will begin next week,
and hopefully the depth will prevail again for the Bankers, who
seek their fourth straight playoff
championship.

Laws of Life
“
Maturity begins when we
are content to feel that we
are right about something,
without feeling the necessity to
prove someone else wrong.”
Have you ever had something make you on the verge
of losing control, but you kept
calm? That is patience. Have you
ever taken up your own time to
help a friend or family member
with a problem? That is dependability. Have you ever felt as if
you were going to succeed, and
believed that you are capable
of anything? That is confidence.
These three qualities are my
laws of life. These are the rules
that I follow in order to be a
good person. They are all completely different, and may not
seem important, but they are
the three most important rules
in my life.
“Have patience. All things
are difficult before they become
easy.” My first law of life is
patience. I use patience as a
law of life in school, sports
and other activities. Everyone
gets so annoyed. Some people
make a big deal about it, while
others keep to themselves. It
is important to speak up for
yourself, but remember that not
everything needs a complaint.
Sometimes you will have to
deal with people or obstacles
that will make you very frustrated, this is where patience
comes in handy. I always try
to not get irritated by small

uccess, one thing everyone searches for. Love,
one thing people say is
the best feeling in the world.
Success is something I dream
of having someday, but I was
taught to always work for it
and not have it given. Love is
something I have by my family and friends. By family and
friends I don’t only mean my
parents and siblings, I especially mean one man in particular. A man who could light up
the dark night sky by his smile
and who taught to work at
110 percent. A man who will
be here for telling me to keep
pushing, telling me to take
that last few steps towards the
finish, a man whose name is
George Planta.
Every visit would start the
same way. We would knock
on the door and wait till my
Aunt Marian would answer
the door. We would walk in
and be greeted by the smell
of something cooking. My
uncle George would either be
outside in his garden or inside
taking a five-minute break. We
would find him, I’d shake his
hand and hear him laugh then
tell me I’ve grown so much. My
uncle had grown old but never
stopped working. “Sometimes
you need to keep working and
hope you’re almost finished.”
To work for success was
one thing he taught me. To
have success is something I’ve
always wanted because being
things, but it’s hard to be
patient all of the time. I have
been told that I don’t speak up
for myself enough, but I usually
would rather keep to myself.
Even though I can get irritated
from little things, I try to stay
patient and quiet. I’m not saying it is the best law of life, but
it has saved me from getting
in trouble. I sometimes wish I
was louder, which is one of my
biggest flaws, but don’t forget
that there is a big difference
between patience and shyness.
My next law of life is
dependability. I would describe
dependability as being faithful and loyal. I use this law of
life with my friends, family and
others. Dependability is important to me because it matters
to be there for others and to
be able to help them with their
problems. Being a dependable
person means always knowing what to say and being
able to make minor decisions.
My friends would consider me
dependable because I am able
to help them with their problems. Last time I checked, that’s
what friends are for. Although
dependability is a good quality to have, what matters the
most is self-dependability. We
all must learn to rely on ourselves, because there will come
a time in which not everyone
will be there. This leaves yourself as your only source of support. However, most of the time
you will have friends and family to stand by you. My friends
have been just as dependable
to me as I am to them, and
I am so lucky for that. I truly
could not have asked for a bet-
ter family or friends. I think that
out of all three of my laws of
life, dependability is the most
important by far.
My last law of life is confidence. I would define confidence as belief that one will
succeed. Many people my age,
including me, struggle with
self-confidence. It is normal
and everyone goes through
it as one point in their lives. I
have struggled with self-confidence for almost five years.
Occasionally, my confidence is
a 10/10 and I feel like I can
do anything. Other times, I feel
depressed and that I can do
nothing. Usually, my confidence
is an average amount: I don’t
feel extremely highly about
myself but I don’t hate myself.
I chose confidence as a law of
life because I don’t think you
can do anything without the
slightest bit of confidence. If
you had absolutely no confidence you would not even be
able to get out of bed every
morning and function. Although
my confidence isn’t the best it
could possibly be, it is still a
very important law of my life.
up against the ropes is somewhere I don’t want to be. There
was never one moment of his
life he wasn’t busy. I remember
seeing him with two 30-pound
chairs coming down a 20-foot
ladder. He always wanted to
get things done quickly but
get the job done right. He has
taught me a lot in my 13 years
on earth. I know now that if
I get knocked down I need to
get up so I can keep trying
until I succeed. The pond he
built in his backyard was somewhere we would go to relax,
then go back to the lies and
the shadows of the real world.
It was just like being in the eye
of a hurricane, you may think
everything is done but then as
soon as you give up the fight
you’ll get sucker-punched right
in the gut. When I look at my
future, what I want in life, I
see it as an event I need to go
to, an opportunity that needs
to be taken. Today I ask those
in the audience and my fellow finalists the question my
uncle asked me the last time
we visited, “what do you want
in life? Whatever it is, chase it
and don’t stop until you are
finally happy.”
Death. Death is a new
chapter in a long book and in
some tragic cases a book cut
short. In one case my cousin
Cailyn, who died at the age
of 12. What she experienced
was the torn-out page in a
novel. Cailyn died at the age
of 12 from leukemia and will
never be able to experience
the greatest events in life like
graduation or a wedding,
and will always be loved and
missed. My uncle spent his
entire life giving and receiving love and help. That’s why
God gives us two hands, one
to receive with, the other to
give with. Going to his funeral
was the worst day of my life.
Today I stand here behind this
podium, under these lights, in
front of my peers saying I will
forever miss my Uncle George.
So again I will ask you what do
you want in life. Right now you
may want the new Jordan’s or
LeBron’s, but how many people outgrow success.
A few weeks after the
funeral for my uncle I had a
dream, where he woke me and
said, “Don’t miss me, I’ll never
be too far away.” I woke up
and since then I’ve realized
that I can’t give up and can
never stop trying. Every time I
need an extra push I look up
because I know my uncle will
be looking back down. He was
and always will be there for
me no matter what I need him
for. Accepting he was gone
was hard for me.
“The road to success goes
by hard work, determination,
and sacrifice.” A George Planta
is a man that everyone needs
in their life. By a man like this
I mean a man who makes you
happy when you’re sad, gives
the words when you’re speechless, and will always be there
to listen. In another 30 or so
years I want to look back and
recognize that my uncle gave
me the motivation to reach the
pinnacle of my life. My laws of
life will always be to find love
and chase my dreams so one
day I will find success.
In conclusion, the three
most influential traits in my life
are patience, dependability and
confidence. At different points
in my life, I have strived to be a
confident, patient, and dependable person. I think that we all
have. As an average 13-year-old
girl, I struggle with confidence, I
sometimes fail to keep calm,
and I struggle with friendships.
These are my difficulties,
and that is where my three laws
of life apply.
ou lay there on the
bed, struggling for
those last few breaths.
Your drained and aged body
stretched out on the cotton
sheets. Your life has moved
beyond the state of mere disability. Death takes hold of
your spirit, and captures it.
As you fade, your mind races
with thoughts and memories.
All the things you’ve done.
All the things you failed to do.
You question yourself. “Have
I lived up to my potential?”
“Did I ever expose my true
aptitude?” “Have I lived my
life to the fullest?” There is no
opportunity now to go back.
Never again will you have the
chance to succeed. The chance
to fail. And most importantly,
the chance to try.
What will your answer be
to yourself when that final
day arrives? Now I bring forth
my greatest law of life. My
pledge. “Never waste it.”
Don’t ever waste it. We all
have just one precious life. Do
all that you can. Be as accomplished and fulfilled as possible.
“Don’t ever waste it” is
something that my dad said
to me a few years ago. We
were both sitting in his truck.
It was raining. I had just finished my football practice.
Mud and rain dripped off my
face with a quiet rhythm. This
had been one of the most
demanding practices yet. I
had just started playing football, and my mind and body
were tortured from ignorance
of true perseverance. I was
exhausted. I said nothing,
but I think my dad may have
sensed my self-doubt.

ife is crazy, you’ll figure it out now or later.
Emotions grow, people
change, and at times when
you are at a high, you’re
going to be back at a low.
Who are your friends? Who
is not? You won’t know until
they stab you in the back.
Which road would you take?
Right or left? One road may
have a bad choice up ahead.
Would you go anyways? You
will have to face so many
obstacles in life, how will
you handle this? In life you
are going to have laws you
live by. Follow them, they are
important. In this essay I will
talk about my laws of life and
why they are important to me.
Who are your friends
these days? It’s hard growing
up in a society where your
eyebrows have to be on fleek
or you need designer clothes
or you need to act a certain
way for people to like you.
In life you will come across
real friends and fake friends.
When you find out which is
which it is going to hurt for
a while. It’s not fun putting a
smile on your face when you
know things are going terribly
wrong. Your life changes in
an instant. You go from walking in the hall with a group
of friends to walking in the
hall alone with them behind
you talking about you to one
another. You hear people
talking about you, saying
that they wished you moved
away, or that you look ugly
today, why would you even
say something like that?
Many people wish they could
change features about themselves but can’t, after I found
out what you said, a five letter
word like sorry doesn’t cut it.
How is that fun or even a way
to go through life? Worrying
about your surroundings more
than what makes you happy?
How do you deal with that?
An anonymous quote is, “Be
strong because things will get
better, it may be stormy now,
but it won’t rain forever.” I
believe that it is your choice
what you do with your life.
He turned to me and
offered a few lines that will
stay tight in my mind until I
am gone, “Myles….don’t
ever waste it.” “I watch you
out there working toward
your true potential. I wish I
had the opportunity to go
back in time and take another
crack at my youth. There is
no chance of it, though. My
childhood has passed. That
part of my life over. Your life
is a story, Myles. Enjoy ever
chapter of it. Write every
chapter of it.” Inspiration fills
me as my dad speaks. I listen
to him with more passion and
confidence than ever before.
Those few words, that very
simple idea, have opened my
eyes. I turned and stared out
into the night sky. I suddenly
believed in the possibility of
so many achievements. That
night changed my life. That
night changed my future.
I n 1 9 1 0 , Th e o d o r e
Roosevelt was making a
speech in Paris, France. This
came to be known as the
Man in The Arena speech. My
dad had me read it one night.
It reinforced and reminded
me of what he had said to
me that night in the truck. I’d
like to share my favorite part
of that speech with you this
morning.
“It is not the critic who
counts; not the man who
points out how the strong
man stumbles, or where the
doer of deeds could have
done them better. The credit
belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena, whose
face is marred by dust and
sweat and blood; who strives
valiantly; who errs, and
comes short again and again,
because there is no effort
without error and shortcoming; but who does actually
strive to do the deeds; who
knows the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions; who
spends himself in a worthy
cause; who at the best knows
in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the
worst, if he fails, at least fails
while daring greatly, so that
his place shall never be with
those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor
defeat.”
Th e r e i s n o g r e a t e r
achievement than excellence
of effort. There is no glory in
winning a game that you play
half-heartedly. Coming off
the field in a clean uniform.
A smile on your face. I would
rather lose the game, but
come off the field knowing
that I fought with everything
I had. That I spent myself in a
worthy cause. My face marred
by dust and sweat and blood.
Grimacing, but knowing that I
dared greatly. Knowing that I
will never be a cold and timid
soul.
Many years from now,
when I am gray, I will not
remember the scores of any
of the Ware/Palmer games. I
won’t even care to remember. What I will remember,
is all the hits, the sweat, the
blood, the rain and the mud.
The screech of coach’s whistle. The aches and the pains.
The exhaustion. The support
of friends and neighbors and
family. And I’ll remember
that I stood with my teammates, and that they stood
with me. And together we
took to the field and fought
our fight. And that is where
I began to find my way. That
is where I began to find my
strength. Not by avoiding
adversity, but by embracing
it. Give me the mud and the
rain, the aches and the pain.
Give me the bumps and the
bruises, because it is there,
in the trenches, where true
character is formed.
You get to choose whether
you want to sit around feeling
sad for yourself, getting absolutely nowhere or stand up
for yourself, stay positive and
keep you head up because
it’s your life and you get to
choose how to live it.
Life isn’t easy. Life isn’t
just a bump in the road, it is
more like a fruit fly annoying you to see how far you
can go until you burst. What
matters is how you react to
it. Like I said before, in life
you will go through a lot. You
will be pushed to your limits. You will be annoyed, and
you may say you hate your
life. Everyone goes through
this. If I get a bad grade on
a math test, I automatically
think, well there goes my
average. Next thing I know I
got a great grade on my next
math test, and I got an A on
my report card. I’ve learned
to work for a lot because it
will pay off now and later.
Although, life isn’t easy in
other ways. I am taught a lot
of things in life. One word
that has stuck with me for
several years was “perspective.” Whatever you say or do,
people will take it the wrong
way, or flip words upside
down or start rumors. It’s
frustrating when someone is
spreading rumors about you
and the next day no one talks
to you, but you’ve done nothing wrong. How do you deal
with that? I keep one thing in
my head constantly, which is,
“Family is Forever.” I always
wanted to make my mom
proud, whether it is with
soccer or with grades. What
I do when all the rumors or
nonsense is around me is do
what I do best. Which is to
play soccer. Soccer makes me
work hard, makes me look
forward to the day, lets me
have fun, but most importantly soccer gets my mind off
of all the negative people and
lets me focus on my goals
in life. Once I step out onto
the field everything is behind
me and I am out there doing
what I love. I have learned
to overcome a lot and if you
are going through hard times
try to find what makes you
happy and keep your mind
off of all the negatives.
Be strong. Everyone has
heard this before. You know
when people are talking
about you. You can just tell.
They either are whispering
or putting a book up to their
face as if I don’t know what
they are saying. Grow up.
That’s what I think these days.
Who cares about the rumors
anymore? Worry about your
grades and your future, not
what I am doing. Sometimes
it is hard being strong. To
me, being left out is a hurtful
thing. When your “friends”
plan a fun activity like trading
presents and you aren’t there
that day, and I’m told that I
can’t be in it. It hurt. Some
people didn’t care that I was
left out but if it was anyone
else in that group, they would
have been added right away.
Although, I do thank the two
people who knew what had
happened and gave me a
present, I appreciate it more
than you know. I think back
to all these memories, and
anything they have ever said
to me that has hurt me and I
still managed to keep a smile
on my face. You try that. It
isn’t easy at all. When I grow
up I want to look back and
say I was proud of who I was
back then. I’ve learned a lot
about who I am as a person
and who I want to become. I
can say that I am proud that
I haven’t given up or haven’t
burst into someone I don’t
want to be. I know that it is
easy to do. Right now nor
never am I going to concentrate on what others have
to say about me, it doesn’t
matter. What matters is that
I follow and live by what I
believe, and I always will.
I have learned a lot,
a whole lot more than I
thought after writing this. An
anonymous quote is, “I wish I
knew now what I didn’t know
then.” To sum it all up, I will
say, everything happens for
a reason. Looking back I am
happy to have been through
so much because it has made
me the person I am today. I
am happy with myself, with
who I am, and with what my
goals are. No one can stop
me from chasing my goals,
and they never will.

H
ave you ever taken a
moment to look back at
your past and realize you
have become a different person from your lows and highs
of your life? Do you wonder
what the future might hold for
you? Through your childhood
memories you might have had
the best or the worst of times.
The first day of school, first time
riding a bike without training
wheels, first love, or a loss of a
loved one that made you think
about your past. You soon realize that everything must come
to an end. This quote by Samuel
Johnson: “It matters not how
a man dies, but how he lives”
captures my feeling on this subject. My law of life that I live
by is don’t take life for granted,
make the best out of everything.
Not everything is perfect like you
expect it to be. You can’t stop
the waves, but you can learn to
surf. We all have a story that has
had a big impact on us, and this
is mine.
Just last year my 17-yearold cousin Nathan died in a
tragic car accident. Nathan was
very shy at his school. Soon you
could tell that Nathan was coming out of his shell, and everyone noticed. He was the sweetest kid you could ever meet. I
still wonder about him all the
time. I used to think about all
the things he wouldn’t be able
to do like, graduate high school,
go to college, get married,
have kids, or tell his family he
loved them one last time. Then
I remembered what he always
used to say: “It’s all about the
experience.”
Just imagine not being the
person who you always wanted
to be. Not living the life the
way you want. It’s as if you
were imprisoned in a cement
box with no way out. I believe
Nathan used a sledgehammer
of kindness and humor to break
through his cement box. He was
becoming the person he wanted
to be. (He will always be.) He
was becoming confident in his
own skin for the first time. He
was into theater, singing and
art. He excelled in the things he
loved doing. That passion didn’t
just affect him, but affected
everyone around him. He made
the most out of his life. You
never know when your last day

guided me. He is my brother,
Dylan Sawabi. When I was
young, my brother legitimately
affected my perspective about
Earth, and I thought about how
human intelligence and creativity really pushed Earth forward.
My brother told me that, “having intelligence and synthesizing it with creativity can change
who you are, and the people
around you.” And because of
this, I wanted to be intelligent
and creative. I felt a sensation
to revolutionize planet Earth. So,
what I did first to be intelligent
and creative, was drawing. It
was a basic step, however, this
changed me in multiple ways.
It changed my personality, and
who I was for eternity. I didn’t
feel happy with my drawings,
however, I know that practice
makes perfect.
In a few years my dream
came true. My drawings looked
better, and more convincing and realistic. One day, the
most amazing, most awesome
feeling came to me. One of my
will be.
I think about my family and
how they found their ways to
become who they are today. The
first person who popped into my
head was my dad, Jesse Dugay.
My dad didn’t come from the
richest of families, but he made
the most from his opportunities. When it came to sports, at
the age of seven, he was first
introduced to judo. He excelled
in that sport. He competed
throughout his high school
career and into the Marine
Corps. My dad would work
out every day and it made him
strong, athletic and disciplined.
When he was 12 he would practice against 30-year-old men!
He was nervous when he fought
them but it made him a better
player because of it. Doing more
and better allowed him to be on
the All Marine Judo team and
travel. Even a lost opportunity to
be in the Olympics has helped
shape him into the man he is
today. Despite failure, he still
shows love and passion for the
game and life.
Football. Ware High School
football. The class of 1982 had
outstanding athletes! In particular, when it came to football, Ware was unstoppable for
nearly a decade and a half. This
was another Ware sport my
dad took part in. The team was
stacked and the coaches were
great. Sometimes 4,000 people
would come to see them play.
A Boston sports writer came to
observe one of their games. The
writer wrote an article on the
game. He considered my dad
and my uncle, Billy Jo Robidoux,
the best football players in Ware
history. My dad and his teammates put a lot of hard work
and determination into sports.
You have to ignite that flame
that was once a small idea and
put it into action. Every day I try
to do my best so I can be ready
for the future and be proud of
my past.
Many people live their lives
in different ways. Some people
love reading, some love playing
sports, some people live in their
own shadows, and others shine
bright like a guiding beacon. We
all do different things that make
us happy. I live my own life but
I’ve learned from my dad and
cousin’s experiences. Their stories help guide my future.
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s
about learning to dance in the
rain.”—Vivian Greene.
best friends, Emma, asked me,
“Can you draw me?” My eyes
lit up in excitement and awe.
The thought that stuck with me
ever since my brother told me
about intelligence and creativity,
popped into my mind, “How can
I change the world with intelligence and creativity?” I knew
how I could change the world at
that moment. I could do it with
my drawings! Because it will
individually affect every person
that I draw! And it did.
After a week of sketching
and stylizing the drawing, it was
finished. It was a sketch of her
smiling, and when I showed her
the drawing, it was basically a
mirror. She smiled back at it, like
the sketch, but ever more joyously.
People started to acknowledge my skill of drawing. Now,
I sketch strangers, people I’ve
never met, and I make them
smile as if I was friends with
them for years. I am changing
the world with my drawings. I
am making people smile and
happy.
This is always what I’ve
wanted. I am using my intellectual capacity and my creative
abilities to help people. With
these two main components,
they will help me in the future
to be even more successful and
effective to planet Earth. What
I do for other people is make
them happy, and because of
this, it makes me happy. And
with intelligence and creativity,
I will change the world.
Thank you, Dylan Sawabi, for
changing me, who I will be for
eternity. I have utmost appreciation, for you being my brother,
and affecting who I am. I love
you, Dylan Sawabi.

public safety
Spiewakowski advises motorists
Warren Police Log
WARREN – Warren Police
Chief Bruce Spiewakowski said
that a resident was pulled over on
Brook Road a few days ago by
someone who acted as if he were
a police officer but he was not and
the incident remains under investigation.
So far it is appears to be an isolated incident and there have been
no other reports of similar incidents in Warren or from surrounding towns of similar incidents, he
said.
“Because I was a victim of this
personally on Route 495 several
years ago, I thought the following
information would be helpful,”
Spiewakowski wrote to residents.
When being pulled over by a
police officer, residents should
keep in mind that Massachusetts
police cars do not have forward
facing red lights, he said. If the car
attempting to pull you over has
flashing red lights in the front of
the car, it is not a police officer in
Massachusetts. Police officers may
shut off any forward facing flashing lights once they have pulled
a motorist over, but will leave the
rearward facing flashing lights on
for the motorist’s safety and theirs.
Warning signs to be aware of are
Between July 18 and July 25,
Warren Police made two arrests.
Patricia A. Scanlan, 56, of 810
Cronin Road, Warren, was
arrested on July 19 for intimidating a witness and disorderly
conduct. Kacey L. Lewis, 25,
of 242 Bridge Street, Warren,
was arrested on July 24 for
operating under the influence
of liquor, negligent operation of
a motor vehicle and a marked
lanes violation.
Police made 31motor vehicle stops, 19 building checks,
two welfare checks, three notifications, performed summons
service twice, provided general
information once and assisted
four citizens. They responded
if the person is not wearing a uniform or a badge, does not identify
him/herself and shuts off all auxiliary lighting once they have pulled
you over, he said. .
Always look for a convenient
spot to pull over, he said. Slow
down, put your turn signal on
and pull over to the right. This
will signal to the officer that you
intend to pull over. Try to find a
close parking lot or wide shoulder
of the road, he said, and many
officers will appreciate the consideration.
“If it’s dark and you are alone,
try to drive to a well-lit area, such
as a gas station or well lit parking lot before stopping,” he said.
“Even though getting pulled over
by a police officer is scary, you
will be okay even if you get a traffic ticket. Take a deep breath and
remember that police officers are
not evil or scary. They are there to
help protect everyone.”
If it is dark, he said motorist should turn on their vehicle’s
interior lights and make all movements slowly. The officer will be
watching the motorist carefully
to make sure they’re not drawing a weapon or hiding something, he said. He also cautioned
people not to reach for anything
in the passenger compartment of
their vehicle or under their seat.
As the officer approaches, motorists should put their hands on the
steering wheel where the officer
can see them.
Chances are that if motorists
follow these suggestions, their
interaction with the police will
not be confrontational even if it
results in a traffic ticket. Please do
not argue the validity of a traffic
ticket to the officer who issued it.
He advised motorists to reserve
that for a court appeal if they so
choose. route.
“One of our goals at the Warren
Police Department is to promote
traffic safety and maintain a high
level of professionalism during
traffic stops,” he said. “We understand the legal and financial ramifications of getting cited for a traffic violation and we do our best
to achieve a positive interaction
when they do occur. If at any time
during the motor vehicle stop you
suspect that the person who pulled
you over is not a police officer,
and you have a mobile phone, call
911 and verify with the dispatcher that an officer has pulled you
over.”
Behind the Lines in Ware
Man in wheelchair
assisted
On Tuesday July 19,
it was reported that an
elderly man in an electric
wheelchair was stuck in
