By Timothy LaRoche
tlaroche@turley.com
CHICOPEE - The Chicopee
Police Department swore in a
class of seven new recruits and
eight new special officers on
Wednesday. Mayor Richard Kos,
Police Chief William Jebb and
members of the City Council
were present for the ceremony,
which took place at the city hall
City Council Chambers.
“I know it’s a very important day for the men and women
being sworn in, but more
importantly, it’s a great day
for the city of Chicopee,” Jebb
said. “It’s a great day for the
Chicopee Police Department.”

Chicopee Cultural Council
opens arts grant funding
By Timothy LaRoche
tlaroche@turley.com
CHICOPEE – The
Chicopee Cultural Council has
opened the application process
for arts funding to community
groups. At a public hearing at
the Chicopee Public Library last
week, the council sought feedback from residents of the city
as to where the funding should
be allocated. At this time, the
council has close to $35 thousand in funding available to
groups in the city.
The news of the grant
funding comes at the heels of a
statewide efforts by many politicians – including Senator Eric
Lesser – to rebuild a slashed
arts budget. Earlier this summer, Governor Scott Baker
announced a plan to cut statewide arts funding, which resulted in outrage from many groups
in the state who depended on

that money for many of their
activities.
Because of these cuts on
the state level, many local arts
councils have had to scale back
their own funding of local cultural projects. However, after a
successful veto effort, the budget cuts were overturned, and
funding was restored.
Now, with a replenished
arts budget, the Chicopee
Cultural Council can fund more
programs like the Pioneer Valley
Concert Band – who used
arts grants funding last year
to fund their summer performances at Szot Park this summer. Residents who attended the
meeting say they support such
local performances.
Other items that were supported include field trips for
local schools to see arts and

CHICOPEE – Hampden
District Attorney Anthony D.
Gulluni has announced the
indictment of Jeffrey Lovell,
42, of Chicopee, on the charge
of manslaughter for an incident
that occurred at his Boucher
Street home.
On Saturday, July 16, at
approximately 12:53 p.m., the
Chicopee Police Department
responded to 120 Boucher
Street for a report of a disturbance in progress. Upon arrival, officers discovered a male
victim, later determined to be
15 years old, with an apparent
gunshot wound to the chest.
The victim was immediately
transported to Baystate Medical
Center in grave condition.
Given the severity of the injury, police requested the assistance of the Massachusetts State

Industries of Massachusetts
has released its Legislative
Scorecard for 2015-2016, a
document said to be the most
widely read when it comes to
voting record of state legislators on issues of importance to
employers.
AIM releases the scorecard at the end of each two-year
session to “ensure that members know legislators’ records
on key economic and publicpolicy issues, and to recognize
lawmakers who understand the
importance of a vibrant economy for all residents.”
State Rep. Thomas Petrolati
(D-Ludlow) scored the second highest mark – 83 percent
– among his fellow legislators.
Petrolati serves the seventh
Hampden district consisting of
Ludlow; Belchertown precincts
B, C, and D; Chicopee ward 6
precinct B; and Springfield ward
8 precincts E, F and G.
Petrolati said he has two
major projects in his district
right now that he is hoping to
draw businesses to – the redevelopment of the Ludlow Mills
and the former Belchertown
State School.

'Downtown Get Down' comes to Chicopee
By Timothy LaRoche
tlaroche@turley.com
CHICOPEE–
The
Downtown Get Down – the
expanded second year of the
Chicopee Block Party – is slated
to begin on Sept. 9 at 1 p.m. The
event will last through the day
on Friday until 9 p.m., and it
will return on Saturday from 11
a.m. to 9 p.m.
This is the first year that
the event will last two full days.
Last year, the first year of the
event, the festivities lasted for
only one day during which the
city closed down many of its
downtown streets for bands,
food and activities. This year,
however, in addition to taking on a new stylized name,
the Downtown Get Down will
run longer and is more densely
packed with activities.
On the main stage, a num-
ber of local groups will perform throughout the weekend.
On Friday at 1 p.m., the West
Overtones kick-off the music,
followed by the West Summit,
from South Hadley, at 3 p.m.
Livio Gravini, whose music
has been compared to that of
Led Zeppelin and other great
arena rock classics, will play at
5 p.m., and the night will end
with Trailer Trash at 7 p.m. until
the 9 p.m. closing time.

Christensen, and Stephen
Williams will now begin
a training program, Jebb
says. This training program, developed by Jebb
and implemented at the
beginning of the year,
addresses some of the
older models of training
for Special Police Officers,
who were used mainly in
polling situations.
Tthe Special Officers
will be required to volunteer for community service every month and will
undergo “on the job” train-
ing in working to become
full-time regular officers.
“Since I’ve taken
over as police chief, I’ve
wanted to go back to grass
roots community policing,” Jebb said, addressing
some of the rational for
bringing Special Police
Officers to a more elevated
position within the department.
Those efforts of community policing involve
taking a more direct
approach to dealing with
community members and
appearing in social community situations more
prominently. Such actions
have, at times, come under
scrutiny in larger city set-
tings, but they have also
been hailed in more closeknit communities.
T h e n ew r e c r u i t s
for regular officers –
Nickolas Stone, Anthony
Rodrigue, Victoria Lopez,
Micky Dumais, Matthew
Lemieux, and Melvin
Colon – will now begin
a six-month long training
program to ensure their
readiness in the line of
duty.
“ T h a n k y o u ve r y
much,” Jebb said of the
new officers. “I look forward to working with each
and every one of them.”
During the ceremony, which was attended
by some of the fami-
lies and friends of tose
being sworn in, Jebb also
applauded the efforts of
the family members who
do not often see recognition for their sacrifices.
“I know the difficulties and the challenges
that the family has, and I’d
like to thank you, because
that’s not something you
get a lot,” Jebb said to
family members.
The new officers – who are all from
Chicopee, will begin their
training in November,
and are expected to complete the rigorous program
sometime in the spring of
2017.

Shortly after their

“Some come from all over,
including Canada, so we
can walk together. We now
carry on the tradition and
this will be our third year.”

guest editorial
Is an empty nest
only for birds?
By Joan E. B. Coombs
W
hen some of our feathered friends
fly south to warmer days and welcoming temperatures, they leave
behind their nestled comfort zones. Over
months, as nestlings were nurtured into fledglings each one was encouraged, (sometimes
gently pushed out), to flutter, flap and fly
independently away. More often than not,
success took wing.
While birds are of
the fowl species, there is
an affectionate, humanized, contemporary term
for family or friends
called “Peeps”. (I’m not
referring to the traditional, mouth-watering,
sweet, springtime marshmallow candies shaped
like baby chicks. Sorry.)
When our collegeage “Peeps” begin their educational pursuits,
it is life changing.
When full time studies gently place our
fledgling “Peeps” in a new nest, once-filled
rooms are emptied of ever-plopped memorabilia: book bag doorstops, orphaned sneakers
and socks, and door-knob draped clothes.
(However, stowed away, beneath-the-see,
under-bed debris is secretly hidden for discovery later.)
The cereal stash is stale; once strewn
bowls stand stacked. The kitchen microwave’s “chirp” doesn’t tweet as often. The
fridge misses overt food searches and swinghinge, door motions. The couch and cushions
are unruffled and are plump-décor tidy. And,
family pets looks, listens and longs for their
play pal’s familiar steps.
Eyes moisten as everyday memories
eclipse, and new horizons beckon.
And, as parent birds look after each
fledgling when it leaves their protective nests,
likewise empty-nesters, whether parent or
grandparent, watch over their offspring until
they are mature enough to spread their wings
and fly.
School and college days are transitional times. Whether it’s just walking streets
away, or driving between towns and cities, or
across the state, or flying across the country,
their absence alters our “feathered nest”. Our
home, is about to have a fledgling fly, spread
their wings, and soar to reach their personal
goals.
But, often it’s not goodbye; it’s “See
you later!” While 18 years of nesting incubation may be over, most fledglings return
home during holidays, semester breaks and
for summer work.
Throughout the ages, those who have
feathered nests for fledglings, when their
wings are developed, they have encouraged
their “Peeps” to fly. So, we’re really not “out
on a limb” when we realize that- an empty
nest isn’t only for birds.

From where I sit
A scavenger hunt like no other
By Aimee Henderson
T
here we were. Standing
in front of an aisle
with an empty shopping cart and three children
in tow. We were amidst a sea
of others who mirrored our
image. Parents with blank
stares on their faces, knowing
what daunting task lay ahead.
Children with smiles stretching from ear-to-ear, knowing full right that they are
about to embark on a scavenger hunt for new supplies.
In hand: back-to-school lists.
The task: find and purchase
these items.
Easier said than done.
The shelves looked as
though a strong hurricane or
tornado had passed through,
knocking notebooks into the
paper shelves and glue sticks
in with scissors. Bins labeled
pens now contained tape.
And let’s not forget the rogue
lunchbox that has landed
on a shelf with binders. If it
weren’t already going to be
difficult to find exact matches to what was on the list, the
current situation in the store
was not going to help.
As we made our way
down an aisle, weaving
through other parents holding
papers, likely to be a backto-school lists, like a moth
drawn to a light the children
started reaching for items,
pulling them from shelves,
asking for them, saying they
just “needed” it.
Luckily our lists this
year were relatively short
and somewhat reflected each
other.
Both children needed a
1 ½-inch binder. That was
the first item to get checked
off, but not before looking
at three different kinds and
deciding between a solid
color or a design. After that
it was notebooks - offering the same choices as the
binder. We needed some college-ruled and some wideruled. To round out the lists
we searched out pencils and
pens, binder dividers, pencil
organizers and sharpeners. It
was a scavenger hunt like no
other.
In the meantime, toss in
a pre-school-aged child who
hadn’t had a nap, wasn’t getting her way, and was just flat
out cranky. Actually, add in a
few of those, because we definitely weren’t the only ones
dealing with that dilemma.
Ours went from sitting in the
shopping cart on top to moving to the bottom, to walking,
to being carried… it was now
a scavenger hunt mixed with
a game of hot potato.
We managed to get it
done though and once all
the classroom supplies were
located, we had two final
tasks – shoes and first-dayof-school outfits.
Even though we had
already purchased a new
pair of sneakers for both
big kids, they each needed
a second pair. Let’s face it,
kids tear through shoes in a
matter of months. A backup pair is always needed.
So off we went. This time
we were sure the littlest
child would be happier during the hunt, because she
was getting new shoes too!
Well that lasted all of but
five minutes. We picked her
shoes out first and then that
was it. She’d had enough
shopping. We wrapped up
the shoe shopping with the
big kids and an executive
decision was made to skip
the outfit shopping.
In the end though, somehow everyone left happy. And
that’s all that really mattered.

Colts look to make postseason
for second straight year
By Nate Rosenthal
Turley Publications
Sports Correspondent
By Nate Rosenthal
Turley Publications
CHICOPEE – The Chicopee
Comprehensive High School
soccer teams struggled a bit last
year, but the boys qualified for
tournament and the girls made
strides in a rebuilding year. The Lady Colts won
Western Mass as recently as
2010 and just two years before
that, they were 16-1-1. That
seems a like a long time ago. Noel Carvalho enters his 12th
season with Comp. Despite a 511-2 record, they showed some
positives at the end of 2015,
winning two of the last three,
both by shut out. The five wins
exceeded the combined totals
of 2011, 2013 and 2014. The
Colts did make the postseason
in 2012, but that was one and
done.
The team has five seniors
w h o w i l l l e a d t h e w a y. Stephanie Beaulieu and Gabriela
Chavez are midfielders, while
Hannah Chapdelaine, Ashley
Rouleau and Celine Delaronde
are defenders. There are junior
midfielders, Abigail Conde and
Carina Facchini. The rest of
the team are sophomores and
freshmen. And amongst the
sophomores there is a good
deal of experience. Midfielder/
Forward, Kathleen Brooks had a
good offensive year in 2016 and
will work alongside midfielder
Samantha Wegrzyn and forward
Arianna Hasiuk. On defense
a r e M a c k e n z i e L a C h a n c e ,
Aliza McLeish and Madelina

varsity time are five freshmen. Julianna Beaulieu and Haley

move to AA
CHICOPEE - Much has
been made of the resurgence
of the Chicopee Comp football
team in 2015 and well it should
have been. Under first year
coach, Tony Couture, the Colts
not only got back on a winning
track, but they won Western
Mass and went to the Super
Bowl at Gillette Stadium. It was
a season for the ages.
The Colts had been below
.500 for three of the past four
seasons. In 2014, they showed
g r e a t i m p r ove m e n t u n d e r
Couture’s predecessor, Marc
Schuerfeld, going from 2-8 to
5-6. Their final record in 2015
was 8-4, including the Super
Bowl loss, but more importantly
is that they brought an excitement to Chicopee that was
shared by all, including cross
town rivals, Chicopee High. And there was no one happier about this than Schuerfeld
himself. Couture and the 2015
squad were the beneficiaries of
the teams that Schuerfeld put
together, but now they can build
their own legacy. Last season
got that off to a great start.
But the calendar has turned
to another year. Graduation
has taken its toll on the roster,
but like any high school team,
they have to move on. There
are some key pieces returning
so that this may not have to be
a rebuilding year, but rather one
of retooling.
The Colts have 22 seniors
and they will be the driving
force behind this team.

Pacers look for winning record in new league

CHICOPEE - The hallmark
of the Chicopee High offense
has for the longest time, been its
running game. With that they
have been able to control the
ball for long stretches, keeping
it away from the other team. When their running game is
clicking, the Pacers have been
successful.
That success has eluded

have two of his top runners
from a year ago alongside
Mason Labonte, Ricardo
Cruz and Corey Heath. They will form the core of
the offense. The receivers are relatively new. Andrew Hernandez, Justin
Rodriguez and Charles
Menya are two juniors
who will be in the running mix. The receiving
corps are the wild card. Beyond seniors Dylan
Raby, Dylan Denette and
Derek Girouard they are
relatively inexperienced,
even the seniors. From
the senior class comes
Ed Popovichenko, Tyler
Kidder, Josh Riley, Eric
Simmons, Corbin Breton,
Dylan Harrison and

wide out. Josiah Pernell
and David Lipscomb are
the tight ends. There
are juniors Fernando
Fernandez, Nelson Walton,
Nguyen Nguyen, and Joell
Cintron at wide receiver
with Joel Torres and
Timothy Patterson at tight
end. The junior quarterback is Kenneth Mitchell,
who played that role a year
ago. The offensive line
will be made up of: Tyrese
Downie, Wilfredo David,
Benjamin Parks, Rustian
A p o n t e , Avo r y L u n a
and Hunter Parks, all
seniors. The juniors are:
Jaeden Rivera, Domenic
Pashalian, Michael
Demers, Anthony Messina,
Christopher David and
Tyler Jesionowski.
On defense, the
aforementioned offensive linemen will play
on the defensive line. Popovichenko, Lipscomb,
Denette, LaBonte, Cruz,
Wilfredo David, Luna,
Rivera, Torres, Menya and
Jesionwoski are linebackers. In the secondary will

Three-time league champion Lady Pacers return to the field
By Nate Rosenthal
Turley Publications
CHICOPEE – The
Chicopee High School
girls soccer team returned
to action earlier this week,
seeking to build off the
success they have had in
the past three years.
The Pacers are the
three-time defending
champions of the Central
Division.
The Lady Pacers will
have a new coach in 2016,
as Ashley Ziemba takes the
helm. The tough part for
this year’s edition will be
the standard set by their
predecessors. Appearances
in seven of the last eight
Register
tournaments and four
Central championships in
the last five years will be a
hard act to follow. Despite
losing some key players to
graduation, Ziemba has a
good team returning, well
distributed between seniors
and underclassmen.
Kylie Ratelle, a forward leads the way up
front and the back end is
anchored by fellow seniors
Dora Castillo and Taina
Slaughter. Other seniors
are Ariel Lafreniere and
Cassidy Valencia on defense
and Tatiana Gero at midfield. Returning in goal is
junior Brittany Peet. Carly
Niemiec is in from of her on
defense and. Noelle Roy,
Emilie Kruzel and Taylor
Sawicki are at midfield. Up
front are Madison Gutierrez
and Madison Clark. There
is quite a bit of youth on
this team as well Ashley
and Brooke Fenton are
sophomores playing midfield, while Cheyenne
Stychiewicz, Charisma
Hammon, Victoria Guay
is on defense. Meghan
McDonough is a goalie. Kyla Bryer Charette may
see some significant time
on defense as a freshman.
The Chicopee boys’
who will once again be
coached by Tom Rivet,
now in his 11th season,
are another team on the
upswing. They fell out
of the postseason discussion in 2013 and 2014,
but returned last year with
a 7-7-4 record. The middle of the season, when
they had a winless stretch
f nine games, limited their
overall success in the regular season. A three game
win streak at the end, got
them in. The two-year
absence was a departure
for the squads that Rivet
has coached in his tenure. This is largely a veteran
team with 15 of its 20 varsity players either seniors
or juniors.
L e a d i n g t h e wa y
are two seniors forward
Dan Vazquez and back
Ben Jablonski. Round
out the seniors are forwards Furkhan Kahraman
and Emmanuel Baffoe. Jeremy Nieves-Torres
and Sajjad Noori will be
playing midfield. Gehrig
Burnett is vying for the
starting goalkeeper role. There are eight juniors,
starting with forward
Jared Wilkinson. At midfield, it will be Pedro
Duarte, Muhammet Turan
and Trystian Tylenda. In
the backfield are: Noah
Piekos, Dylan Fedora,
Sam Quinn and Joe Omar
Quinn. Forwards Sean
McCormick and Noah
Melendez are sophomores,
as is Lukasz Soja, a midfielder. Phillip Kaczor is
a sophomore goalie. Eric
Chmielewski, a freshman
may see some playing
time as a back.

“We launched Concussion
Awareness Week last year
with the MIAA for that
very reason. Through our
partnership with them, and
help from the Concussion
Legacy Foundation and
MCMC this year, we’ve
been able to expand on last
year’s inaugural efforts and
impact more and more students throughout the state of
Massachusetts to hold each
other accountable in observing the established concussion protocol.”
The Concussion Legacy
Foundation will also host
Team Up Day: an educational program designed to help
better identify concussions
by encouraging athletes to
“Team Up: Speak Up” to
fight concussions. Coaches
across the country have
pledged that on Tuesday,
Sept. 13, they will give their
team a speech emphasizing that teammates look out
for one another, and should
speak up if they see a teammate who may have suffered
a concussion.
“The MIAA is once
again pleased to partner with
ThinkTaylor to help educate
and inform all student-athletes about concussion,” said
MIAA Associate Executive
Director Richard Pearson.
“The ThinkTaylor/MIAA
Concussion Awareness Week
is an outstanding vehicle to
bring focused attention to
this very important topic.
The #TTPledge focusing
on students being educated,
honest and supportive is a
profound and pointed objective for all.”
ThinkTaylor is also
asking for everyone to take
the #TTpledge online at
thinktaylor.org, encouraging them to post photos and
videos online showing their
support and pledging to be
educated on the signs and
symptoms on concussions;
pledging to be honest with
his or her coaches, teachers,
parents and teammates; and
pledging to be supportive of
anyone who gets a concussion.

Agawam High
School Athletics to
host 22nd Annual
Golf Tournament in
September
AGAWAM - The Agawam High
School Athletic Department invites the
public to save the date and participate
in its 22nd annual golf tournament to be
held Saturday, Sept. 24, at Oak Ridge
Country Club.
This tournament raises money to
help support the athletes and coaches
of the Agawam High School programs.
Student athletes do not pay fees at
Agawam High School as some do in
other communities. Please join us for
an enjoyable day and support a good
cause.
If you would like to participate as
a major sponsor, golfer or tee sponsor,
or donate a raffle prize, please contact
Dave Stratton in the Athletic Office at
413-821-0529 or at dstratton@agawampublicschools.org.
The offensive linemen will double as defensive linemen again led by
Sanchez. Potter will also
play on the line unlike his
fellow running backs who
will be utilized, for the
most part, in the secondary the linebacking corps
will be Swenor, Combs
and Perez with some help
coming from the front
line. The running backs
and wide receivers will
take their spots in the secondary.
The rest of the roster
are sophomores and a surprising large group of 12
freshmen. Some will see
occasional reps with the
varsity, but will also give
the team some depth at the
junior varsity level. The
sophomores are: Nathan
Caldero, RB; Julian Colon,
RB; Andre Fontanez, OL/
DL and Raymond Ortiz,
OL/DL and Douglas
Swinton, OL/DL. The

Strangulation prevention and
intervention conference
HADLEY - The
Northwestern District
Attorney’s office will
present a one-day conference on strangulation prevention and intervention,
Sept. 22 from 8 a.m. to
4 p.m. at Hadley Farms
Meeting House on Route
9 in Hadley.
Co-sponsored by
Baystate Health, Cooley
Dickinson Health Care
and Heywood HealthcareAthol Hospital, the conference will feature Gael
Strack and Casey Gwinn.
The pair are founders of
the Training Institute on
Strangulation Prevention
in San Diego and nationally-renowned speakers
on non-fatal strangulation,
a terrifying and potentially lethal tactic used
by abusers in intimate
partner relationships to
control and threaten their
partners.
A sweeping overhaul
of Massachusetts’ domestic violence laws, recognizing this fact, included
the creation of criminal
charges specific to strangulation in August 2014.
“If a victim has
been strangled once by
her abuser, she is seven
times more likely to be
killed by that abuser,”
said Assistant District
Attorney Jennifer Suhl,
chief of the NWDA’s
Domestic Violence and
Adult Sexual Assault
Unit.
“Often abusers strangle victims, not to kill
them, but to let their victim know they can kill
them,” said Mary Kociela,
director of Domestic
Violence Projects for the
NWDA.
Goals of the conference are to promote
an understanding of the
lethality of strangulation
and to identify its signs
and symptoms. The speakers will address anatomy
and medical issues as well
as best practices in investigating, prosecuting and
documenting a case and
advocacy with survivors.
Northwestern District
Attorney David E.
Sullivan will give opening
remarks.
About 160 law
enforcement officers,
medical first responders
and community advocates, locally and from
across the state, are
expected to attend. Some
space is still available for
law enforcement officers,
dispatchers, EMTs, prosecutors, advocates, judges,
civil legal attorneys and
medical providers. There
is a $35 registration fee,
which includes continental breakfast, lunch and
free on-site parking. For
more information about
this training, contact
