BELCHERTOWN – Parents
of students enrolled in the
Belchertown Public Schools
were surprised to receive a letter in the mail last week asking for their participation with
forming a search committee
for the principal’s position
at Chestnut Hill Community
School.
The letter, which was composed by Superintendent Karol
Coffin, says in part, “In reflecting on the goals of the district
and looking forward to the
future direction of Chestnut
Hill Community School, I am
writing to inform you that there
will be a change in principal
leadership for the 2016-2017
school year.”
Coffin confirmed last week
that current principal Paula
Fitzgerald’s contract was not
renewed. Fitzgerald became
principal at CHCS in July
2013. She was previously the
principal of Monson’s Quarry
Hill Community School,
a position she took in 2011.
Prior to that she worked in
the Holyoke School System.
The CHCS principal position
became open when former

Annual putt-a-thon
raises $57K this year
for The Jimmy Fund
GRANBY - A sign proclaiming the front lawn of Aldrich Hall
the "future home of the Granby
Veterans Memorial" must win an
appeal before a zoning board and
win Planning Board approval or
be taken down.
Building Inspector Steve Reno,
who was appointed on Monday by
the Select Board, said his predecessor mistakenly granted permission to memorial planners to erect
the 3- by 8-foot sign in a zone that
allows signs only as large as 10
square feet.
The location of the sign is inside
the Village District, Reno said, and
because of its location, requires a
T
he town common came
to life last week during
the Putt-A-Thon for The
Jimmy Fund. This year marked
the 12th annual event, second on the
common, which, to date, has raised
$562,835 for cancer research.
Before the first flight of mini
golfers took to the course, which
was set up in an area of the parking lot, two big checks were presented. The first was from Country
Bank in the amount of $5,000.
That amount was added to the
grand total for the year, bringing
it to $57,000. Amy McCallum,
an associate director for the Dana
Farber Institute, was on hand to
collect the money.
“You might not know this, but
Bell & Hudson is a true innovator,” McCallum said to the crowd

the Centers for Disease Control

those ages 10 to 24.

took his own life. The presentation will be held at Chestnut Hill

year Belchertown residents took
advantage of the services offered
at the Amherst Survival Center
nearly 2,000 times, and the center’s executive director wants to
make sure everyone knows it is
a place where those in need can
find help.
“Our mission is to connect
people to food, clothing, health
care, wellness and community,”
Mindy Domb, the center’s executive director, told the Board of
Selectmen at its meeting Monday.
“Most of the people we see are
not homeless but are facing challenging choices, whether to pay
for food or rent, rent or fuel, fuel
or the electric bill,” said Domb.

Faces of Recovery
Editor’s note: In recognition of May being Mental
Health Month, stories of people in recovery will be
featured. The Behavioral Health Network is a nonprofit
community based provider of behavioral health services
in Western Massachusetts. Throughout this month, BHN
is sharing stories of people who have made strides on
the path to recovery, i.e., finding, recovering and maintaining their mental health. We want our communities to
know that recovery is possible.
Terminated unsuccessfully
B
illy specialized in Getting Kicked Out: kicked
out of school, his parents' house, his girlfriend's
apartment, jobs, probation, and treatment for
alcohol use disorder. He thought of himself as a professional at being Terminated Unsuccessfully.
At 42, his doctor told him that his liver wouldn't hold
out much longer if he didn't turn things around. His life,
too, he thought, almost Terminated Unsuccessfully.
His hands were shaking at his meeting with his BHN
therapist. They were not shaking because of alcohol
withdrawal – he still drank enough to ward that off.
They were shaking because he was anxious.
Billy was a towering man with massive workman's
hands that he did not know where to put in an office
visit. He first folded them, then let them hang, repeatedly, as his BHN therapist got to know him.
No one had ever asked him about these things.
Perhaps he looked too powerful to have been asked
about loneliness, about feeling suddenly full of rage,
and the feeling, much of the time, that someone was
watching him through the computers, smart phones and
television screens that were everywhere these days. But
the truth was, he'd felt this way since he was 12 or so,
and no one had asked. They'd just eventually terminate
him unsuccessfully when he kept doing it wrong. Why
would he stop drinking, when stopping drinking made
him feel watched more strongly than ever?
The people at BHN knew how to help him with both
– the things going on inside of him that made it feel
impossible for him to live a connected, happy life as part
of a family and a community. They also knew how to
help him with the addiction to alcohol that had blunted
the pain, rage, fear and anxiety for thirty years.
There was a moment in the BHN office when Billy
hung his head and paused. He could see how to get
out of treatment. All he would have to do was stand up
and turn the desk over and throw the computer monitor across the room until its watchful eye was shut. He
waited until he was ready, and then he told his counselor
why he didn't want to talk in front of the monitor.
She nodded slowly, and began to tell him stories about
other people who'd shared the same concerns, and how
they had worked out a way forward together.
He was 42, and ready to fail at being Terminated
Unsuccessfully.

Development at the Behavioral Health Network Valley

Thank you for supporting annual Putt-a-thon
To the Editor:
The committee of the 12th annual Putta-thon for The Jimmy Fund would like to
thank everyone and anyone in our community and our region who helped make
the event a huge success. The 2016 Putta-thon raised in excess of $57,000 which
was donated to the Jimmy Fund, the fund
raising arm of the Dana Farber Cancer
Institute!
Dana Farber is one of the top four cancer research and treatment hospitals in the
United States, and the number one pediatric cancer hospital in America, according to
US News and World Report.
We are particularly grateful to the town of
Belchertown for once again allowing us to
use the Belchertown Common, and for working to have it in such beautiful condition!
Please take a moment to look over the
full page “Thank You” located on the inside
front page for what we hope is a complete
listing of all those who made an extra effort
to assure a successful event.
We hope that you will consider joining
us again on May 19, 2017 for the 13th
annual Putt-a-thon!
Once again, on behalf of our committee and all of the patients who will benefit
from your generous support, thank you!
Sincerely,

On the financing side, there are
web-based businesses such as the several local initiatives and orgathree-person software company nizations working to connect small
businesses with funding and other
resources.
One example is the Business
Growth Center at Springfield
Technology Park. Owned and
operated by Springfield Technical
Community College, this center
selects businesses that offer a high
potential for job creation and links
them with staffed office space,
growth workshops and funding
opportunities.
In addition, the Massachusetts
Small Business Development
Center’s Western Regional office
provides free one-on-one business
advising to help entrepreneurs successfully launch a business, and
help existing small businesses
develop growth plans and financial
forecasting charts.
Another local resource is Valley
Venture Mentors, a local small business “accelerator” that provides
mentorship, workspace, networking
and access to capital for entrepreneurs in the Pioneer Valley.
State government must also do a
better job creating an environment
where small businesses can easily
thrive and operate efficiently. One of
the best ways to do this is by stream-
lining permitting, zoning, licensing
and other regulations involved in
owning and operating a business.
State government also must
continually review and eliminate
regulations that are outdated, needlessly burdensome or do not serve
an important public purpose. This
approach requires continued collaboration between the Executive
branch, the Legislature, city and
town governments and private
enterprise.
The Pioneer Valley is home
to many family businesses that
have become iconic national
brands, from Merriam-Webster to
Friendly’s, from Milton Bradley to
Big Y and Indian Motorcycles.
We are one of the country’s great
innovation centers. By continuing
to nurture and support our familyowned businesses, we’ll also continue to help innovate and create
jobs well into the future.

principal Brian Cameron was promoted to assistant
superintendent.
“I have been truly fortunate to have worked in
Belchertown at CHCS with such committed and professional colleagues, devoted families and terrific students,” said Fitzgerald on Monday.
At this time, Fitzgerald is pursuing work at the college level and is looking forward to the next chapter in
her professional career and personal life.
“CHCS is a wonderful learning community and I will
always treasure my time spent here,” she said.
Coffin said the staff at CHCS learned of the change
of leadership at the school during a faculty meeting in
May.
A search committee will be forming in the coming weeks, according to the letter, allowing parents to
provide input “regarding leadership qualities for this
position” as well as an opportunity to serve on the committee.
Dr. Shawn Fortin, director of Teaching and Learning,
is facilitating the process and selection of the search and
interview committee. Parents, as well as faculty, have
been invited to contact him if they would like to participate in the process.
Fortin, on Monday, had prepared another letter to
send to parents with details on how to serve as a representative on the screening committee. If interested, parents must contact Fortin at sfortin@belchertownps.org
or at 413-323-0423 by 3 p.m. on Friday, May 27.
His letter states that “members of the screening committee will review applications and conduct first round
interviews of candidates. Screening committee members will need to be present for interviews tentatively
scheduled for June 13-15. Interviews may be scheduled
for daytime and/or evenings depending on candidates’
availability.”
Coffin added, “We have already received resumes and
do anticipate a principal being in place for the start of
the school year.”

Jay Gallery, of Belchertown, finished first in the Senior Category of
the racing OC-1 19-mile with a time
of 3:47:44.
Racers were greeted Sunday morning to sunshine, over 200 excited volunteers and thousands of spectators
cheering them on along the route. The
race drew crowds from all over to the
riverbanks in Dedham and Needham
all the way to the Finish Line Festival
at DCR’s Artesani Park in Allston.
“We couldn’t have asked for a more
beautiful day,” said CRWA executive
director, Bob Zimmerman. “The Finish
Line Festival at DCR’s Artesani Park
was full of excitement with family,
friends, co-workers and spectators who
cheered each other on. The finish line
also featured great live music and good
food. We are extremely thankful for the
support we have received from the volunteers, sponsors and participants who
took part in this wonderful event!”
The Run of the Charles is the largest paddling event in New England
and celebrates the ongoing improvements of the Charles River by CRWA.
Paddlers came from all over New
England as well as from Florida,
Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington
and Wisconsin.
This year featured over 200 boats
including 19 paddleboards, a growing division in the race. Among the
most challenging features of the Run
of the Charles are the six portages
where boats must be carried around
an obstruction.
The dams in Newton, Wellesley,
Waltham and Watertown forced paddlers off the river and onto their feet,
shouldering their boats while they
ran to the designated spot where
they could get back on the water
and resume paddling. Paddlers raced
across Route 16 on the NewtonWellesley line and across Moody
Street in Waltham, running for nearly
a half-mile on each of these portages
before putting their boats back into
the river.
The Run of the Charles featured a
variety of races. The 24-mile Relay
Race attracted many corporate teams
seeking a great bonding experience,
while the 19-mile, 9-mile and 6-mile
races brought out paddlers ranging
in age and experience from juniors
to seniors. Races started in Dedham,
Needham, Newton and Brighton.
“The Charles River means so much
to the people in and around the greater
Boston area,” said Zimmerman. “The
key to maintaining the Charles River
is to increase awareness and educate
the public in order to protect and
maintain the beauty and health of the
River.”
All of the races ended at DCR’s
Artesani Park on Soldiers Field Road
in Brighton, where all racers and spectators were invited to the free Finish
Line Festival. There was live music
by Mid Life Crisis, prizes, raffles, and
food from Blazing Salads on Wheels
and Mimzee’s Ice Cream.
Founded in 1965, Charles River
Watershed Association is one of the
country’s oldest watershed associations, developed in response to the
declining conditions of the Charles.
The Run of the Charles: Boston’s
Premier Paddling Race celebrates the
Charles River Watershed Association’s
51 years of improvements to the
health, beauty and enjoyment of the
Charles River and its tributaries. For

in Essex Junction, Vermont, according to
Halligan’s website.
“It was revealed in much greater detail
after Ryan’s death that he was ridiculed and
humiliated by peers at school and on-line,”
says the website.
Following Ryan’s death, Halligan spearheaded the Vermont Bully Prevention bill,
which was signed into law in May 2004.
He also successfully led the passage of
the law pertaining to mandatory suicide
prevention education in public schools in
April 2006.
Ruscio wrote in his letter to parents, “Mr.
Halligan further shares that Ryan wrestled
with underlying mental health issues and
depression and that these factors contributed to Ryan’s vulnerability and ultimate
suicide. His story is riveting and powerful,
and reminds both parents and students that
there is a face, a person, and a heart on the
other end of the screen.”
Through the presentation, the audience
will gain perspective from inside a family of a child who was a victim of bullying
and cyber bullying, as well as learn what
the signs of suicide are, risk of depression
and teenage suicide, and how to best help a
friend, Ruscio said.
Halligan during the day, according to
JBMS Principal Thomas Ruscio. He said
after receiving donations, as well as support from the PTO, it was decided to bring
Halligan in for the presentation.
“Mr. Halligan makes a very powerful
presentation on the death of his son, and
the impact of depression, bullying and suicide,” said Ruscio.
The evening presentation was planned so
parents and community members alike will
also have the chance to listen to Halligan
speak.
“The Belchertown Schools are committed to taking serious, proactive steps to
curb a problem that is found in schools
everywhere,” Ruscio wrote in a letter to
parents regarding the scheduled presentation. “Our efforts this year at Jabish Brook
Middle School have been directed to raise
awareness and communication about bullying and cyber bullying with students and
parents.”
Halligan and his wife, Kelly, lost their
son Ryan to suicide Oct. 7, 2003. He was
just 13 years old. At the time of his death,
Ryan was a student at a middle school

als and the work of two full time and nine
part time employees but mostly due to the
work of about 220 volunteers each week,
said Domb. Some volunteers collect food
each morning from grocery stores and
restaurants in the area that would otherwise be discarded.
“It’s edible but for whatever reason it’s
not going to be sold,” Domb said, and it
makes for an eclectic lunch menu. Lunch
one day included scallops and rack of
lamb, she said.
In 2015, said Domb, there were 46,054
visits to the center, including 1,983 from
Belchertown residents. Many were returning clients. The food pantry served 202
Belchertown families with 506 people a
total of 984 times. They received 52,000
pounds of food, she said.
Of the Belchertown residents, 39 percent were under 17 years old, 55 percent were 18 to 64 and six percent over
64. Statistics are more readily available
for the food pantry, Domb said, because
the federal surplus food program has a
low income guideline, although the
center does not require documentation.
Otherwise, people can come to the center
with no questions asked.
Selectman Ronald Aponte noted the
low percentage of older Belchertown
residents seeking food and asked if the
mobile food pantry could be an option for
town. Domb said she is not sure whether transportation or an unwillingness
to seek help is keeping older residents
from the center. She plans to talk to the
Belchertown Senior Center staff about
how they might work together to meet the
needs of residents.
Selectman William Barnett noted that
the survival center is a non-profit and
donations are tax deductible. Cash is
great, said Domb, but “people can also
donate food, clothes and they can volunteer.”
For more information about volunteering or donating, contact the Amherst
Survival Center at 549-3968 or via email
at info@amherstsurvival.org.
“Folks in Belchertown are some of those
folks.”
The survival center is nearing its 40th
anniversary serving 13 Hampshire and
Franklin county towns and Domb is celebrating by reaching out to each community. “People sometimes say to me ‘why
are you trying to drum up business.’ I’m
not. I just want to make sure people know
about us,” Domb said.
The center is located on Sunderland
Road, in North Amherst, across the street
from the former Cowles lumber yard.
It can be reached by taking the Pioneer
Valley Transit Authority bus from
Belchertown to the Amherst post office
and connecting the number 33 bus that
drops people at the site.
The center is open Monday, Tuesday
and Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.;
Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and the
third Saturday of each month from 9:30
to 11:30 a.m. Each day it is open, the
center provides breakfast from 11 a.m.
to 12 noon, lunch from noon to 1 p.m. A
food pantry provides five days worth of
food per month for families to take home
and fresh food is distributed each day
as well. A clothing outlet offers donated
clothes for people of all ages and a medical clinic provides basic medical care
with no appointment on Mondays from
12:30 to 1:30 pm and Thursdays from
4:30 to 5:30 p.m.
Thursdays is an extended day with
additional activities at the center, including movies at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., healthy
cooking classes and a light meal from 5
to 6 p.m. The center also offers showers,
lockers and laundry facilities for those
who need them, job search assistance,
a kids boost program with additional
food during school vacations, personal
care items and a mobile food pantry for
seniors in Amherst.

The Select Board voted 2-1, with member Mary McDowell dissenting, to allow
the war veterans committee one week to
file an appeal with the Zoning Board of
Appeals for a variance from the sign size
restriction. If an appeal fails, or if the special permit is not granted, the sign must
be taken down.
McDowell continues to serve on
the Select Board until a recount in the
Select Board race is completed. Steven
Chojnacki outpolled Glen Sexton 216210 in the May 16 annual Town Election.
Until a winner is determined by the
recount, Chojnacki has declined to be
sworn in. The recount is expected to be
completed by May 26.
McDowell argued that requiring the
sign to be taken down would send a message of "fairness" across the board in
town matters.
Select Board member Louis Barry, an
ex-officio member of the veterans war
memorial committee, was joined by board
Chairman Mark Bail in the vote to allow
time for an appeal to be heard.
"In light of the fact that the town
approved it, we should let it go through
the appeal and take it down if they don't
get it," Barry said.
Reno said the memorial backers spent
$600 on the sign, but it is not permanently affixed to the town-owned property and

In other business, the board approved
the formation of a committee to study the
position of fire chief, which was vacated
last month by Russell Anderson, who is
now Southwick fire chief.
The committee will initially have three
members: Bryan Hauschild, Ronald
Mastorakis, and Virginia Snopek. They
are charged with reviewing the fire chief
job description, meet with representatives
of the call and career fire forces, review
the hiring procedure and report to the
Select Board by the end of July. Others
are invited to apply for the committee. A
separate selection board will be formed in
the future.
The Select Board also:
- approved appointment of Deb
Matthew, of 288 Taylor St., Amy Gaj, of
171 Kendell St., and Paula Lapite, of 13
Ferry Hill Road, to the 250th Celebration
Committee.
- approved three warrant articles for the
June 13 special Town Meeting, to be held
on the same day as the second installment of the Annual Town Meeting. Those
warrant articles will move $22,885 from
the public facilities expense account to
the personnel account to fund the second
half of the annual salary of the Public
Facilities Director; move $32,000 into the
Ambulance Department wages account;
and move money into the public access
cable TV fund that was set up at the first
installment of the annual Town Meeting
on May 9.

Jack Marcy receives lifetime achievement award
J a c k M a rc y re c e i v e s a S c o u t i n g L i f e t i m e
Achievement Award, the first of its kind.
GRANBY – Jack Marcy, of Troop 306 in Granby,
was recently honored by the Metacomet District of
Western Massachusetts Boy Scout Council. He was presented with a Scouting Lifetime Achievement Award,
the first of its kind.
Marcy was born and raised in Massachusetts where
he was a Cub Scout, a Boy Scout, and an Explorer Scout.
During the four years that he spent in the United States
Air Force, Marcy was a counselor for Stamp Collecting
and Coin Collecting Merit Badges in Roswell, New
Mexico, and while stationed in the Azores, he was an
assistant scoutmaster for the American Troop.
Marcy returned to Massachusetts following his discharge from the Air Force and served nine years as an
assistant Webelos den leader of Pack 34, four years
as assistant Scoutmaster, and 15 years as Scoutmaster
of Troop 306, all in Granby. He is presently a Troop
Committee member of Troop 306 and a Brotherhood
member of The Order of the Arrow. Marcy also attended
the 1950 National Jamboree at Valley Forge.
Marcy co-founded FLN-MAR Rubber and Plastics,
Inc. in Holyoke in 1969, and served as its president until
his retirement in 1993. He is currently serving his second term as president of the Connecticut Valley Mineral
Club. Marcy and his wife, Janet, have been married for
59 years. They have three children and six grandchildren.
The couple has spent the winters in Tucson, Arizona
for many years. From 2002 until 2012, Marcy has
spent at least one day weekly at the Scouting Museum,
assisting in the work of the Acquisitions and Exhibits
Committee. Many of his suggestions have been adopted
and have served to greatly enhance the work of the committee.

because I've had the opportunity to

Among her academic accolades,
Emily is a two-time scholarship recipient from the HCC Foundation and was
inducted last fall into the Phi Theta

This summer, she will be working as
a volunteer with a group in her hometown of Belchertown called Tweens to
Teens that focuses on issues relevant to
girls 9 to 16.
In September, she will begin working on her bachelor's degree in psychology (with a possible minor in neuropsychology) at Bay Path University
in Longmeadow and intends to continue working at HCC as a tutor in the
Writing Center.
Even as she moves on as a student,
there will be a new member of the
Burns family stepping in. Her younger
sister Erin, 18, is enrolled at HCC for
this fall.
“We were both taught from a very
young age the value of community college,” said Emily. “Holyoke

what I like, and that will lead me somewhere awesome.”

Lady Rams slips
past Belchertown
Rams topple rival Orioles

Sports Correspondent
GRANBY - The Granby girls
lacrosse team has played a total
of 45 games since joining the
varsity ranks in the spring of
2014. The only team to shutout the Lady Rams during that
span was the Belchertown Lady
Orioles, who celebrated a 13-0
home victory on April 24, 2014.
The second meeting between
the two neighboring high school
lacrosse teams, which took place
at Granby High School last
Tuesday afternoon, May 17, was
a much closer affair.
The match was tied for the
fifth time at 11-11 in the middle
of the second half before the
Lady Rams scored the final two
goals leading to a 13-11 nonleague victory.
“They blew us out by double
digits when we faced them two
years ago,” said Granby head
coach Mackenzie Paolini. “It
was our first year as a varsity
program and I left that game saying that we want to be playing at
the same level as Belchertown
someday. It’s just an amazing
feeling to come back and beat
them today.”

GRANBY - After losing to Suburban League rival
Belchertown by one goal on May
2, the Granby boys lacrosse team
had a 2-5 overall record. Since that
road loss, the Rams have turned
their season around by going 5-3.
The Rams kept their postseason
dreams alive following an 11-2
home victory against the Orioles
on a perfect spring afternoon, last
Friday.
“This is definitely one of the
biggest wins in the history of our
program,” said Granby head coach

Joe Denette. “It’s the first time that
we’ve ever defeated Belchertown.
We also beat Chicopee for the first
time this season.”
The Rams (7-8, 5-4), who have
been competing at the varsity
level for the past four years, only
needed a win against Monson
on Monday afternoon in order to
qualify for the Central/Western
Division 3 Tournament, which
begins next week.
“We’re now one game away
from qualifying for the playoffs
for the first time ever,” Denette
added. “We are hoping to beat
Monson here on Monday afternoon.”
The Rams posted a 16-5 win at
Monson at the beginning of May.
The Orioles, (6-10, 5-5), who
are the defending league champions, were still alive following the

setback against Granby
“Granby has had a great season and they’re some very talented
lacrosse players over there,” said
Belchertown head coach Patrick
Nee. “It’s a frustrating loss for us,
but you just have to give a lot of
credit to Granby because they really deserve it.”
Belchertown’s postseason hopes
came to an end with a 13-2 loss at
Wahconah last Saturday afternoon.
“We’ve qualified for the tournament the past two years and we
also won the league title last year,”
Nee added. “We lost a total of 13
players from last year’s team, so
we were a young squad this season. Granby is a veteran team and
they started seven seniors in this
game today.”

SOFTBALL
Demetrius leads charge for Lady Mustangs
By Tim Peterson
Turley Publications
GRANBY - Following the pregame
ceremony honoring the seniors on the
Monson and Granby softball teams, a
first-year varsity player took over the
spotlight.
Monson sophomore second baseman Alyssa Demetrius, who had
been a member of the junior varsity softball team the past two years,
had three base hits, scored three runs
and stole five bases leading the Lady
Mustangs to a 7-0 road victory, which
spoiled Lady Rams senior day, last
Wednesday afternoon.
“Sometimes you have good games
and sometimes you have bad games.
Today was a very good day for me
and my teammates,” Demetrius said.
“It’s very special being a member of
this softball team.”
Demetrius entered the final week of
the regular season with 27 base hits
and 16 RBIs.
“I watched Alyssa Demetrius play
for the junior varsity team last year,
but I never expected her to be doing
this well for the varsity team this season,” said Monson head coach Jim
Zielinski. “She already has more than
25 hits and she’s also a very fast runner on the bases. She’s just an unbelievable softball player.”
Monson improved its overall record
to a perfect 18-0 following the shut-
out victory against the Lady Rams.
They also clinched the Bi-County East
league title for the third consecutive
year with a 7-0 mark.
“Winning the league title was our
second goal after qualifying for the
postseason tournament,” Zielinski
said. “We’ve already achieved our first
two goals, so our next goal is to make
it to UMass again.”
The Lady Mustangs, who lost
to Turners Falls in the Western
Massachusetts Division 3 championship game at UMass last June, will
be one of the top-seeded teams in this
year’s tournament. Turners Falls is
also undefeated, as they entered the
final week of the regular season with
a 16-0 record.
The Lady Rams (9-8, 1-7) should
also be one of the teams competing in
the Division 3 tournament this season.
They needed one more victory in their
final three regular games in order to
qualify.
“We only won four games two years
ago and we only had 17 players in our
program. We didn’t even have a j.v.
team,” said Granby head coach Gary
Casey. “We won six games last year
and if we could qualify for the tournament this year, it would be a great
accomplishment for my players.”
The only two players that Granby
will be losing to graduation are Kaylee
Roberts, who’s a reserve outfielder,
and Jordan Kennedy, who’s the starting first baseman.
McSCHOLAR ATHLETES
“Both of our seniors have been
members of our softball program
since they were in the seventh grade,”
Casey said. “Jordan became the starting first baseman for the varsity team
when she was a sophomore. Kaylee
also joined the varsity team that same
season. We aren’t losing very many
players this year, which is a very good
thing.”
One of the Monson five seniors
is Carly Zielinski, who’s one of the
best softball pitchers in Western
Massachusetts. Zielinski, who tossed
a no-hitter against Granby in the season opener, allowed just two base hits
in the second meeting of the season
against the Lady Rams.
“The only reason why Carly pitched
a no-hitter the first time that we played
Granby was because Alyssa Demetrius
made two outstanding defensive plays
at second base,” coach Zielinski said.
“Carly really didn’t pitch her best
game of the season today, but she only
allowed two hits.”
Carly Zielinski, who has recorded
more than 700 career strikeouts, finished last week’s game at Granby with
11 strikeouts and only one walk.
The other four Monson seniors are
Hannah Colling, Emily Garon, Sam
Laitinen, and Allie Zollo.

Tristan Guzik had a hit, a run scored
and an RBI. Joel Bryant had a hit and
an RBI. Tyler Sullivan had a hit and a
run scored.
Joe LaPorte pitched a complete
game, allowing three hits, walking
one and striking out 10.
Granby then jumped out to a quick
lead in a 14-3 win over Sabis. The
Rams pushed across two runs in
the first, five in the third, one in the
fourth, one in the fifth, three in the
sixth and two in the seventh.
Joe Bessette had two hits, three
RBIs and a run scored to pace the
offense. N. Bleakley added two hits,
three runs scored and two RBIs. M.
Bleakley had two hits, three runs
scored and an RBI. Rokowski added
two hits, a run scored and an RBI.
Michael Sosa finished with two hits
and two runs scored.
Tom Rezzani went the distance for
Granby, allowing three runs on five
hits while walking three and striking
out two.
The Rams then made a trip to
Cooperstown, N.Y., to take on
St. Mary at Doubleday Field at the
Baseball Hall of Fame, and celebrated
with a 4-2 win over the Saints.
Granby pushed across a pair of
runs in both the first and fifth innings
to generate all the offense that they
would need.
Matt and Noah Bleakley led the

charge on offense as Matt had two
hits, two runs scored and an RBI.
Noah had a hit and an RBI.
Noah also did the job on the mound,
as he went the distance allowing one
run on five hits while walking three
and striking out seven.
Granby then finished off the week
with a 10-4 win over Gateway.
Once again, the offense got off to a
fast start in this contest with three runs
in the first, one in the second, two in
the third and one in the fourth to build
up a 7-3 lead.
Rokowski scored three runs. Noah
Bleakley had two hits, two runs scored
an RBI. Matt Mleakley drove in a run,
scored twice and had a hit.
LaPorte picked up his second win
of the week, giving up four tuns on
three hits, while walking four and fanning nine.

Angels win wild one
Kenny LePage started on the mound for
the Twins and did an excellent job of keeping the Angels scoreless for the first two
innings.
Gary Perrault pitched for the Halos and
nearly matched Kenny for the first two
innings. The Twins opened the bottom of
the first by manufacturing the first run of
the game.
Frattura led off with a single, stole second,
advanced to third on a ground out by Collins
and scored on a sac fly by Benoit.
The Angels finally pushed across runs in
the third thanks to singles by Roberts, Abel,
Catter (RBI), Dean and Perrault (two RBI).
Matt Smith knocked in a run with a bases
loaded walk.
The Halos lead didn't last long as the
Twins came right back with six runs in the
bottom of the third. Vega walked, Collins
reached on a HBP, Ferrier (RBI) reached on
an error to load the bases. Cartwright then
ripped a triple to right center, knocking in
three runs. The inning continued with Leslie
earning a walk and stealing second. Dodson dropped a ball into left just out of the
reach of Mandella, which drove in two more
runs. After three, the Twins had a 7-4 lead.
The Twins added two more in the fourth
with a single by Frattura, double by Ferrier,
single by Cartwright and a single by Leslie.
The Angels started to chip into the Twins
lead with two runs in the fifth and one in the
six. Every time the lead was threatened, the
Twins answered with runs of their own. In
the bottom of the sixth, the Twins pushed
in four more runs thanks to hits by Collins,
Cartwright and Leslie. After six, the Twins
had a 13-7 lead. The Angels entered the
ninth trailing by five. The inning opened
with four consecutive Angels reaching base
- Josh Smith walked, Catter singled, Dean
singled and Bartolotta walked with the bases
loaded cutting the lead to four. Catter then
scored on a passed ball and Matt Smith
knocked in Dean on a RBI ground out to
first. Perrault then walked and stole second.
Mandella hit a sac fly to center, scoring
Bartolotta. With two outs and still trailing
by one, Lustila hit a grounder to second
and was able to knock in the tying run due
to a untimely throwing error.
For the second week in a row, the Angels
were playing extras. Both the Twins and
Angels played solid defense in the 10th to
keep the game tied. In the 11th, the Halos
plated three as Perrault walked, Mandella
doubled, Lustila reached on a FC and
Cygan hit a bases clearing triple over the
pulled in outfield. The Angels closed out
the game in the 11th to earn their second
win of the season.
Cygan got the win for Angels, pitching
five innings in relief of Perrault. The Angels
received contributions offensively up and
down the lineup from Josh Catter (5-for-6,
double, stolen base, two RBI, three runs),
Dean (3-for-6, triple, three runs), Perrault
(1-for-1, five walks, stolen base, two RBI,
two runs), Mandella (2-for-4, double, walk,

Belchertown Little League Update
BELCHERTOWN – The Belchertown
Little League continued season play last
week.
Majors
DF Plumbing - 4;Amherst Red Sox - 2
DF Plumbing’s Tyler McDonald pitched
his team to victory over the Amherst Red
Sox 4-2, allowing only four hits and two
runs in 5 1-3 innings while striking out 10.
While the Red Sox couldn’t mount any
offense until the sixth, DF jumped out to an
early 4-0 lead capitalizing on wild pitches
and errors. DF’s Zach Fraleigh led the way
with two hits and teammate Lucas Halstead
earned his first hit of the season in support
of the offense. Shortstop Nolan Otto also
made a couple stellar plays in the field to
keep the Red Sox at bay.
Then, the Red Sox tried to mount a rally
by scoring two runs and loading the bases
with one out in the sixth, before DF reliever
Connor Gregoire came in to snuff out the
threat by striking out two batters.
McCarthy’s Pub - 5
DF Plumbing - 3
Whenever McCarthy’s Pub and DF
Plumbing take the field against each other,
it’s a given it will be a tight contest. This
game under the lights was no different, as
McCarthy’s came away with a hard-fought
5-3 victory. McCarthy’s Caleb Boyko led
the way on the mound, going 4 2-3 innings
allowing just five hits and three runs while
striking out nine. Teddy Wegrzyn came on
in relief to slam the door on DF, pitching a
perfect 1 1-3 innings for the save. They outlasted DF’s Jordan Talbot, who struck out
ten in his four innings and only allowed four
runs on three hits.
McCarthy’s Matt Tilton got the team on
the board with an RBI wall-ball single in
the first, before DF grabbed a 3-1 lead in
the second on an RBI single from Zach
Fraleigh and a two-run error. McCarthy’s
retook the lead in the bottom half on an
error, a hit batter and a walk. The score
remained 4-3 until McCarthy’s Eli SayballWimmer added an RBI single in the fifth.
Only Tilton (2-for-3) and DF’s Tim Mitus
(2-for-2) managed multi-hit nights.
Each team had few other opportunities,
because of tough pitching and highlight-reel
defense. For example, DF’s Fraleigh made
a great diving catch in centerfield to end a
bases-loaded threat, and McCarthy’s Joe
Mankowsky had a diving grab at second
base to rob DF of a game-tying rally.
McCarthy’s Pub - 17 Swift River Heating
& Oil - 6
McCarthy's Pub launched a 19-hit, 17-run
attack to take down Swift River Heating &
Oil. McCarthy's jumped on top early scoring seven runs over the first two innings on
hits by Shay O'Neill, Ty Sayball-Wimmer,
Joey Bianco, Eli Sayball-Wimmer, Caleb
Boyko, and a towering shot off the wall by
Kainoa David. Swift River made a comeback in the home half of the second scoring

DF Plumbing - 4 Remax - 3
DF Plumbing and Remax hooked up for
an instant classic, as DF escaped with a 4-3
victory. In a rematch of their opening-day
battle, DF’s Ryan Zawistowski and Remax’s
Tyler Laramee nearly matched each other
pitch-for-pitch into the sixth inning.
Zawistowski went 5 2-3 innings, allowing
three runs on five hits with nine strikeouts,
while Laramee went 5 1-3 innings, allowing
three runs on six hits with nine strikeouts.
DF scored four runs on a two-run error
in the first, and RBI singles by Tim Mitus
in the fourth and Zawistowski in the sixth.
Remax countered with two runs in the
fourth on a RBI double by Ryan Murphy
and an error, and a fly ball by Laramee in
the sixth. Then, with the tying run on third
and winning run on second and no outs
in the last inning, Zawistowski fielded a
grounder back to the mound and started a
1-3-2 double play. DF’s Tyler McDonald
then came on in relief to induce a liner to

One of the Rams senior
starters is Sawyer Mahan,
who scored a pair of backto-back goals during the
first 2:00 of the opening
quarter, which set the tone
for the rest of the game.
“All of us have worked
very hard and we’ve come
together as a team. It just
feels amazing to beat
Belchertown for the first

Connor Griffin, Tre Demers,
Noah Bristol, Bailey
Ortensi, Jack Sarnacki,
Anthony Gaj, Nick Roberts,
Devin Kwisnek, and Nick
Albers, who’s the starting
goalie. He was credited
with 18 saves.
“We have ten seniors on
this year’s team, who have
never played in a tournament game before,” Denette
said. “They really want to
get to that next level.”
The eight Belchertown
seniors are Andrew Mitera,
Kyle Mikulski, Jack Medina,
R y a n M c C a r t h y, B e n
Zawistowski at shortstop to end the threat

Minors:
Don’s Auto - 4; Country Bank - 3
In a tight game with Country Bank, the
Don's Auto team came from behind to win
in the home half of the last inning. After
falling behind by three runs in the first
inning, the pitching for Don's settled in.
Jackson Couchon relieved James Loudon
and kept the Country Bank team from scoring for the rest of the tilt. Don's Auto got
things going in the first when birthday boy,
Joey Dewey and Loudon led off with hits.
It was Patrick Fuller, who singled with the
bases loaded in the second and then drew
a walk in the final frame to win the game
for Don's. Fuller's hustle and clutch hitting
earned him a game ball.

Magarian, Jordan Henault,
Dylan Gillen, and Christian
Assismus, who was the
Orioles starting goalie in
the second meeting against
Granby. McCarthy was the
starting goalie at the beginning of the regular season,
but he suffered a seasonending injury.
The Orioles seniors are
scheduled to play their final
high school lacrosse game at
home against Northampton
on Thursday night.
Mahan’s first goal of the
game, which was a bounced
shot, was unassisted with
10:44 left in the first quarter. Less than 40 seconds
later, Mahan fired another
shot into the net, which was
assisted by Demers.
“Those two goals by
Sawyer definitely set the
tone,” Denette said. “We
always want to score the
first goal in every game
that we play. We just want
to put the pressure on the
other team.”
With less than 3:00
remaining in the opening
quarter, Mahan cut across
the field from left to right
before scoring his third goal
assisted by sophomore Luc
Chauvin.
The Rams took a 4-0 lead
four minutes into the sec-
ond quarter when Roberts
fired a bounced shot into
the cage, which was assisted by Mahan.
T h e O r i o l e s fi n a l l y
broke the ice on a goal by
sophomore Grant Irving
with 2:35 left in the first
half. Sophomore Adam
Wordsworth was credited
with the assist.
Irving also scored the
Orioles second goal in the
fourth quarter.
It took the Rams less than
5 seconds to retake the fourgoal lead, as Mahan netted
his fourth goal, which was
assisted by Demers.
The Rams three third
quarter goals were scored
by junior Ryan Bachand,
junior Collin Stearns, and
Roberts.
Unlike the first meeting
between the two teams, the
Rams didn’t let their lead
slip away during the fourth
quarter. Granby outscored
Belchertown, 3-1, over that
span. Demers, Bachand,
and Roberts tallied the
Rams goals during the final
12:00 of the match.

Left-handed catcher Jonathan Ingram
led off the seventh
with a hit, and then
stole two bases to get
to third. The throw
to third was off the
mark and Ingram
scampered home
with the lone run of
the game.
Starting pitcher
Jason French was
masterful against
a very good South
Hadley offense. He
pitched a complete
game, allowing five
hits and a walk. He
struck out five. The
Orioles are 11-4 this
season with two other
wins this week over
Turners Falls (6-4)
and Athol (7-1).

3 RBI, run), Lustila (3-for-5, walk, three
runs), Cygan (4-for-6, two doubles, triple,
four RBI) and Abel (2-for-3, two HBP,
RBI, run).
The Twins offense was led by Matt
Cartwright (4-5, walk, 8 RBI), Don
Edwards (2-for-5, walk) and Matt Collins
(3-for-5, BB, two RBI). Ken LePage (six
innings), Mike Dobson (one inning),
Sandro Frattura (one-plus inning) and Dan
Benoit (two-plus innings) shared the pitching duties for the Twins in a losing effort.
Athletics trounce Orioles 21-4
The Athletics beat the Orioles in a
shortened five-inning affair. Leading 8-4
heading into the top of the fifth inning,
the Athletics erupted for 13 runs. The
Athletics offense was led by Perelli
(2-for-4, two singles) and Pasquen (23, double, single). The Orioles offense
was led by Ben Young (1-for-3, double, 2
RBI), Jim Nasson (1-for-3, RBI, BB) and
Rocky Strempel (1-for-3).
Tigers beat Cubs 10-4
The Tigers got their first win of the
season Sunday night at Spec Pond. After
Gary Cameron struck out three in the
top of the first, the Tigers jumped on the
SOFTBALL | from Page 16
which ended Zielinski’s no-hit bid right
away. Following a strikeout and a popup,
Beauregard stole second base, but Zielinski
ended that inning with a strikeout.
The Lady Mustangs took a 1-0 lead in
the top of the second inning against junior
righty Abi Beauregard, who allowed three
runs on six hits in six innings.
Demetrius began the inning with an
infield hit before stealing second and third
base. After the next batter struck out, sophomore left fielder Amanda Hulbert was hitby-a-pitch and Demetrius crossed the plate
on the back end of a double steal play.
Two innings later, Demetrius lined a
leadoff single into left field over Granby
junior shortstop Kate Sullivan, who made
a leaping attempt to make the catch. After
stealing second, Demetrius advanced to
third on a passed ball, and scored on a
wild pitch making the score 2-0.
Granby freshman Brianna Heath, who
was the designated player, drew a leadoff walk in the home half of the inning
before advancing to second base on a
wild pitch. She was stranded there as
LADY RAMS | from Page 15
The Lady Rams (9-4), who didn’t win
any games in 2014, have qualified for the
Western/Central Division 2 Tournament
for the second consecutive year.
Despite having a 6-10 overall record,
the Lady Orioles also qualified for the
Western/Central Division 2 Tournament,
which begins next week, with the help
of the MIAA’s 70 percent rule. Their
three Division 2 victories came against
Chicopee Comp (17-1), Chicopee (16-5),
and St. Mary’s (19-2).
Belchertown head coach Jeff Bowers
wasn’t very pleased with his team’s performance in last Tuesday’s road game.
“I thought my team just played a very
ugly game today,” Bowers said. “We just
didn’t play as a team and that’s not normally how we play. I was expecting us to
have a huge win today.”
Bowers wasn’t coaching the Lady
Orioles lacrosse team in 2014.
Another player who didn’t play in that
game two years ago was Granby junior
Kate Sarnacki, who was away on vacation
with her family.
Sarnacki, who scored her 200th career
goal against Pope Francis on May 13,
scored eight goals and had two assists for
a total of 10 points in last week’s game
against the Lady Orioles.
“Kate is just a great lacrosse player,”
Paolini said. “Not only is she a goal scorer,
she’s also a play maker for us.”
Granby senior Emily Whitacre, who
reached the 100-point plateau in the Lady
Rams next game against Chicopee, scored
three goals against the Lady Orioles. Their
other two goals were scored by eighth
grader’s Kaeleigh Croteau and Julia
Frappier. Eighth-grader Kaelyn Croteau
and senior Hailey O’Connor each had one
assist.
Cubs with four in the bottom half of the
inning.
After a Jonathan DeJesus single,
Cameron tripled. Jose Pena knocked him
in with a single. Ted Rosenholm closed
out the scoring by hitting a two run single
plating Pena and Jon Moody. Cameron
cruised for the next few innings. He gave
up 2 runs in his last inning, the fifth, on
a two-run single to Muhammed of the
Cubs. However, it was a solid outing for
him as he struck out 11 in five innings of
work. He also helped himself with a RBI
single in the 3rd. The Tigers also scored
single runs in the fourth and fifth. Jose
Pena came in for the top of the sixth and
gave up a bases loaded double to Alex
Carrasquillo. He settled in after that and
went two more shutout innings. In the
bottom of the sixth, Steve Loreto hit a
two out, two run double to right. Taylor
Blankenburg shut the door in the ninth
for the Tigers, striking out four (passed
ball led to a runner on one strikeout).
The Cubs offense was led by Husein
Muhammed (1-for-3, two-run single in
fourth), Alex Carrasquillo (1-for-3, tworun double in the fifth) and Ryan Lopes
(2-for-3). Mark Caputo pitched five
innings for the Cubs, striking out seven,
while Alex Carrasquillo contributed three
innings in relief, striking out five.
Zielinski recorded a pair of strikeouts and
a comebacker. Zielinski would then retire
the next eight batters that she faced.
The Lady Mustangs scored their third
run when Demetrius, who singled and
stole second, crossed the plate on a bunt
hit by sophomore Shannon Jalbert, who
had replaced Hulbert in left field in the
bottom of the fourth inning.
The Lady Mustangs scored four more
runs in the top of the seventh against
Granby relief pitcher Lindsey Wenzel,
who’s only an eighth grader. Zielinski
belted a two-run triple to left, which
was followed by a sacrifice fly by junior
shortstop Maddie DiSanti. Colling, who
singled, scored the other run following a
wild pitch.
With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, sophomore Julie Sawyer, who was
a pinch-hitter, beat out a tapper in front
of the plate for the Lady Rams second
base hit. Zielinski ended the game with a
strikeout.
The Lady Mustangs made their annual
visit to Cindy’s Drive Inn, which is located down the street from Granby High
School, on their way home.
Granby freshman goalie Mya Fillion
was credited with nine saves.
Belchertown senior Audrey Duhaime
scored a team-high four goals. Senior
Emma Jopson added three goals and an
assist. Sophomore Morgan Mathurin netted two goals, while senior Abby Robinson
and junior Alanah Carattini scored the
other two Lady Orioles goals. Senior Kate
Bowers was credited with an assist.
Belchertown senior goalie Kailey
Pacheco had eight saves.
The Lady Orioles, who never trailed
during the first 25 minutes, took a 5-2
lead with 5:00 left in the opening half following an unassisted goal by Mathurin.
Two of the final three goals of the half
were scored by Sarnacki, which were
sandwiched around another goal by
Frappier tying the score at the break.
“Being able to tie the score at halftime
gave us the momentum at the start of the
second half,” Paolini said. “The game
could’ve gone either way when we were
trailing by three goals.”
The two teams kept trading goals during the first 5:00 of the second half, but
the Lady Orioles didn’t fall behind.
Following an unassisted goal by
Sarnacki tying the score at 9-9 with 15:15
left in regulation, Sarnacki made a pass
Whitacre, who scored the go-ahead goal.
The Lady Orioles answered with backto-back goals by Carattini and Mathurin,
but Sarnacki’s goal tied the score for the
final time at 11-11 with 10:29 left.
The final two goals of the match were
scored by Whitacre and Sarnacki giving
the home team its largest lead.
Fillion made a couple of big saves
during the final 5:00, which allowed the
Lady Rams to celebrate the big victory.
The two teams could meet each other
for the second time this season during the
postseason tournament.
