Comp stuns Central,
end championship drought
Parks and Rec host annual
festivities at Szot Park
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – The opportunity to find one of the city’s most
popular events is just around the
corner, but unless parents sign
up, that chance will hop on by.
The Chicopee Parks and
Recreation Department is hosting their annual Easter Egg Hunt
on Saturday, March 26 at Upper
Szot Park Field.
“It’s a great way to bring
the community together,” said
Richard G. Maciolek, assistant
superintendent at the department.
As part of the long-standing
tradition, from 10 a.m. to 12:15
p.m., the city’s youth – 10 and
younger – are treated to a number of holiday festivities.
Though last year’s was very
successful with nearly 250 participants, Maciolek said he’d like
to see about 300 come out this
year, but in order to do that, children must pre-register. The mandatory pre-registration must be
done at the Parks and Recreation
office, located at 687 Front St.,
no later than Thursday, March
24 at 5 p.m. The cost is $5 for
residents and $7 for non-residents. That being said, there is
also a maximum number that the
department can hit, so Maciolek
suggests signing up sooner, rather than later.
At the sign-up, children can
take a flyer for their coloring
contest. To participate, children
must only return with their coloring sheet the day of the annual
Easter Egg Hunt. Whilst looking for colorful Easter eggs
filled with sweet treats, children should be on the lookout
for a “special ticket” scattered
around the park’s upper field.
The “special ticket” is redeemable for one of their many prizes. Zoned of areas are assigned
to each age level. The groups
– 3 and under, 4 to 7, and 8 to
10 – will be announced one after
another. The first hunt – starting
with the youngest group – will
begin at 10:15 a.m., followed
by the second at 10:25 a.m.,
and then the third at 10:35 a.m.

The students also gained
first-hand experience with
arraignment and pre-trial processes they have learned about,
sitting on an arraignment session in the busiest arraignment
court in the state.
“The tour of the Hall of
Justice exceeded my expectations because not every eighthgrader gets to experience this,”
said 13-year-old Anthony
Alexopolous. “The dangerousness hearing was really interesting.”
The Bellamy students also
spent much of the day learning
about the many career options
within the court system, meeting
with professionals and asking
them about their roles.

U.S. Tsubaki incentives approved
CHICOPEE – Mayor
Richard J. Kos reported
last Thursday that U.S.
Tsubaki’s request for tax
incentives to complement
their proposed expansion
in the city will proceed
after the City Council
unanimously approved it
on March 3. The company
is considering an 80,000
square foot addition to
their property.
This project also
needs to be approved
by the state Economic
Assistance Coordinating
Council where they will
certify the City’s tax
agreement and also vote
on the level of Investment
Tax Credit awards to the
company. U.S. Tsubaki is
also having a board meeting in Japan during the
week of March 21 where
they will be discussing
their North American
expansion.
The deal calls for
U.S. Tsubaki to realize a
tax savings of 70 percent
on their new construction starting in fiscal year
2018. The savings were
decrease by ten percent
each year until fiscal year
2026, when the tax savings will be five percent
for both fiscal year 2026
and 2027. The tax savings
are only on the increased
value of the property from
the 80,000+sf expansion.
Throughout the life of this
agreement U.S. Tsubaki
will continue to pay the
full value on their current
structure.
The tax incentive will
not effect the fiscal year
2016 or 2017 as the company will be paying taxes
on the current building
valuation.
“This Tax Agreement
will help to ensure that
a great company with
a global brand and good
paying jobs will continue
to grow and prosper in
our City,” said Michael
L. Vedovelli, Director of
Community and Economic
Development for the city.
“This expansion will create opportunities for longterm economic growth for
Chicopee.”
Presently located at
106 Lonczak Drive in the
city, the company is considering an expansion that
will total about $11.5 million. The $4.5 million will
be spent on construction
with another $6 million
on equipment. $1 million will be spent on other
expenses.
“I am glad to work
with City Council to
incentivize the expansion
of U.S. Tsubaki,” said
Kos. “They are a significant taxpayer and employ
many Chicopee residents.
Their proposed expansion
shows a substantial commitment to the City and
we are glad to work with
them to help make this
project happen. ”
This economic
opportunity is part of the
inter-municipal agreement between the cities of
Chicopee, Holyoke, and
Westfield.
“U.S Tsubaki has
been a great partner to the
City of Chicopee,” said
City Council President
John Vieau. “We welcome
their expansion and hope
that this agreement will
allow them to proceed
with making it a reality.”
The application
filed by U.S. Tsubaki
calls for 35 new fulltime jobs, which creates positive economic
opportunity for residents
of Chicopee and the surrounding area.

Wagner addresses ‘Rare Disease Day’ forum
at State House
B O S TO N – S t a t e
Rep. Joseph F. Wagner,
D-Chicopee, House Chair
of the Committee on
Economic Development and
Emerging Technologies,
delivered opening remarks
recently at a “Rare
Disease Day” forum held
at the Massachusetts State
House. Hosted by the
Massachusetts Biotech
Caucus, the forum recognizes rare disease patients
and their families and the
state’s leading effort in
research for treatment and
cures. Gov. Charlie Baker
designated February 29,
2016 as Rare Disease Day
in Massachusetts to bring
attention to the roughly
7,000 diseases and conditions that are considered
rare in the United States
and which affect nearly
30 million individuals and
families.
“ O f t e n , i t ’s t h e
patients and their families that drive the public
awa r e n e s s a n d f u n d -
ing efforts to promote
research for treatments,”
said Wagner, co-chair of
the Massachusetts Biotech
Caucus. “This underlies
the importance of public
policy to ensure these men
and women are not alone.
Massachusetts has served
as a model for the nation
as home to the world’s
best academic institutions, medical centers, and
biotech and life sciences
companies. It is important
that we press ahead and
maintain our position as a
global leader in this area.”
Wa g n e r s a i d t h e
forum also celebrates the
progress made through
the passage of the Orphan
Drug Act, championed
by the late Sen. Edward
M. Kennedy. For more
than three decades, the
act has incentivized pharmaceutical companies
to research and develop
treatments for rare conditions. Massachusetts joins
a nationwide coalition
of patient organizations,
medical professionals and
researchers, government
agencies, and life sciences
companies coordinated by
the National Organization
for Rare Disorders in
observing this day.

CCHS student banned
from school
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – A 16year-old male student from
High School is facing
criminal charges after
allegedly posting a threatening status on Facebook.
Last Thursday, March
10, School Resource
Officer Mark Hammon
was made aware of the
status by members of the
school staff after a concerned parent saw it online
and called it in.
“The parent also stated, based on the threat,
they were in fear, and
that their child would be
kept home from school,”
M i c h a e l Wi l k , p u b lic information officer
for the Chicopee Police
Department explained.
In the threat, the youth
– who will not be identified because he is a juvenile – stated he was “Tired
of the Fascist, Socialist,
students and teachers.
I like being one of those
kids that goes into school
with a bomb or a gun or
some [expletive] and kill
everyone.”
Hammon the contacted the department’s dispatch and additional officers were sent to the school
as a safety precaution.
“Since it was determined that the student
responsible for the post
had not arrived at school,
there was no evacuation or
lockdown,” said Wilk.
Police were then sent
to the suspect’s home.

this point, the juvenile
has been banned from the

Fire station no. 3 to receive
roof improvements
CHICOPEE – The
City Council has approved
an appropriation of
$32,135 for architectural
analysis for much needed
roof improvements at Fire
Station No. 3 on Cabot
Street in Chicopee Center.
The station has been
in need of roof improvements for decades as the
solar hot water heating
system located atop the
building has been nonfunctioning and the roof
showing leakage. This
solar system has been
adding stress to the structure.
Adding urgency to
the project is the inadequacy of the roof. Upon
analysis of the roof, there
is the potential for leakages and other weatherrelated issues should
the project go ignored.
A concern for the integrity of the building and
the equipment inside has
increased the need for this
project.
“In reviewing options
for our fire stations,
Station No. 3 is an important piece of our compliment, providing necessary fire services for the
Downtown area,” said
City Council President
John Vieau.
This project will
include removal of the

completion of specifications needed to replace

replacement of the roof.
“I am very pleased
that the mayor and the
City Council agree on
the importance of completing this project, as
Station 3 and its loca-
tion is vital to the total
response capabilities of
the fire department”, said
Dean F. Desmarais, Chief
of the Chicopee Fire
Department.
With the reopening of Station No. 7
in Aldenville, the Fire
Department is working to
increase fire services in
the city, these improvements at Station No. 3
would improve the ability
of the building to continue
to operate as a fire station
for years to come.
“The ability to retrofit an existing structure
and extend its lifespan
is a win-win,” said Kos.
“If we can repair rather
than replace we save a
significant amount of
money while addressing the needs of our fire
department.”

The end result is that millennials feel
Public leaders can do a better job appeal- frustrated and disengaged from politics, at
ing to that sense of service. When challenged a time when their voice and participation in
democracy is more important than ever.
That’s why the Massachusetts Senate
launched the “Millennial Engagement
Initiative.”
Instead of telling millennials what government should do, our aim is to ask young
people what they want it to do and work to
make that happen through the legislative process. The initiative held its first listening session in Springfield in February and will be
making stops across Massachusetts in the
coming weeks and months.
These conversations are important because
the needs of millennials, more often than not,
reflect the needs of our Commonwealth as a
whole. Whether it’s student debt, affordable
housing or the desire for a more efficient and
transparent government, the issues most important to millennials are important to all of us.
Our generation is highly diverse, serviceoriented and tech savvy. And that’s a good
thing, since the responsibility to overcome the
biggest challenges we face as a Commonwealth
will fall squarely on our shoulders.
By engaging young people, government
can open itself to new ideas, methods and
results that otherwise wouldn’t be possible.
State Sens. Eric P. Lesser, D-Longmeadow,
and Ryan C. Fattman, R-Webster, both age 31,
are co-chairs of the Massachusetts Senate’s
Millennial Engagement Initiative.
T
he Blarney Castle
is nestled in the
tiny village of Blarney,
in the small
city of Cork,
Ireland, yet, it
is a world landmark. For over
200 years, as
one of Ireland’s
treasures, it has
attracted millions of visitors to see the
magnificent, centuries old
castle.
Tourists also seek and
kiss the “Blarney Stone,”
also known as the “Stone
of Eloquence,” because
it promises the gift of
acquiring more eloquent
speech. Adventuresome
pilgrims must climb 127
steps to the castle’s tower
to smooch the Stone, and
then never again find
themselves lost for words.
Legends have circulated for centuries about
the mysterious Stone.
Several are based in biblical, Old Testament origins.
The Stone was said to be
the rock that Moses struck
with his staff to produce
water for the Israelites
during their exodus from
Egypt. Another tradition says that the prophet Jeremiah brought the
Stone, formerly Jacob’s
Pillow, back to Ireland.
Others believe that it
was the Stone of Ezel,
the stone that Jonathan,
David’s friend, told him
to hide behind when King
Saul sought to kill him.
Another Irish lore states
that the Stone was brought
to Ireland during the
Crusades.
However, the most
accepted story
about
the
Stone tells of
when the King
o f M u n s t e r,
C o r m a c
McCarthy, sent
five thousand
men to defeat
the English at
B a n n o c k bu r n
in1314, a portion of the historic Stone was given by
the Scots in gratitude for
their warrior’s help. Then
the Stone was returned to
Ireland.
Interestingly, the most
documented and entertaining “Bit about Blarney”
has an origin that really
isn’t related to the Blarney
Stone!
Apparently during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth I
(1558-1603), she decreed
that “All
properties should be
given over to the Crown”
to prove their loyalty. But,
Dermot McCarthy, the
ruler of Blarney Castle,
kept delaying the ceding
to the Monarchy by his
writings filled with flowery prose and excuses.
The back-and-forth communications wheedled
extensively, and his eloquent words delayed any
action. Reportedly, Queen
Elizabeth I became frustrated and said: “It was
Blarney talk!”
C h a r m i n g l y, t h e
Blarney term has handed
down a legendary, sweet
talk definition: “the ability
to influence and coax with
fair words and soft speech
without giving offense.”
Famous globe-trotters
have kissed the Blarney
Stone. Sir Walter Scott
was one among authors,
entertainers, American
Presidents, and world
leaders.
I may never get to
visit the Emerald Isle or
see the Blarney Castle,
nor get to kiss the Blarney
Stone so that I can speak
with eloquence.
On this side of the
Atlantic Ocean’s Big
Pond, perhaps the only
“gift of gab” I’ll ever get
is when I drink more than
two cups of “high-test”
coffee.

Landfill Closure Alternatives Advisory
Committee releases report
CHICOPEE – Mayor
Richard J. Kos announced
he has received the report
from the Landfill Closure
Alternatives Advisory
Committee, which studied
the options available to
the city for the impending
closure of the Chicopee
landfill, which is expected
by 2018.
The city is facing an
annual $1,735,000 total
estimated financial impact
due to the landfill closure.
The report was commissioned by the City with
the help of a $15,000
District Local Technical
Assistance grant funded
by the Pioneer Valley
Planning Commission to
explore options for the
city going forward.
The report provides a
comprehensive review of
the landfill situation and
options with an emphasis on waste reduction and
increase in recycling and
operational efficiencies.
“We will be sharing
this information with our
municipal leaders and the
public so that a comprehensive approach can be
taken in the city’s best
interest,” said Kos.

Chicopee hosts third annual Best Buddies formal ball
CHICOPEE - The
Best Buddies “Under the
Sea Prom” will be held on
Friday, April 1 at Dupont
Memorial Middle School
to celebrate our friendships. At least 250 Best
Buddies members from
10 chapters in Western
Massachusetts will attend
the event to show their
support for Best Buddies,
and a large percentage of
our school community is
participating in the preparation and execution of
this event in order to share
our mission of friendship.
Best Buddies is an
international nonprofit
organization whose mission is to establish a global volunteer movement
that creates opportunities
for one-to-one friendships,
integrated employment,
and leadership development for people with intel-
lectual and developmental
disabilities. In each district, high school students
with or without intellectual and developmental
disabilities are matched
in one-to-one friendships
for at least one academic
year. Together, the “buddy
pairs” talk at least once a
week, spend time together at least twice a month,
and gather as a group for
activities once a month.
In April 2014, the
Chicopee chapter of Best
Buddies successfully
engineered the first-ever
inclusive prom for members of all the western
Massachusetts chapters. This was a welcome
change, since it was challenging to travel to the
annual statewide prom in
eastern Massachusetts.
Dupont Memorial
Middle School is locat-
ed at 650 Front St. in
Chicopee.
All visitors and
guests will enter at the
rear entrance closest to the
basketball court.
Guests will arrive at
5:30 p.m. for registration,
photo opportunities, and
socializing. Dinner will
start at 6 p.m. in the cafeteria and from 7 to 9:30
p.m., there will be dancing
in the gymnasium.

Easter candies and goodie
bags will be handed out

Refreshments will also be
available.
Children are also
invited to design and/or
create their own unique
Easter bonnet. Prizes will
be awarded to he children
that Chicopee residents
will step up and participate in the cost saving
effort to limit curbside
trash and increase recycling.
This crisis truly is
an opportunity to investigate and implement
waste reduction/recycling
strategies and move forward with a commitment
to Waste Reduction/Zero
Waste in the next decade.”
Kos has scheduled a
public meeting for March
29 at the Chicopee Senior
Center at 6:30 p.m. to discuss and review the report
with the City Council and
the public.

High School juniors
received a crash course in
budget balancing – a juggling act they will surely
have to perfect in the coming years of adulthood.
At the school’s its
eighth annual Financial
Literacy Day event this
past Wednesday, juniors
were tasked with a roleplaying exercise in which
they played the role of a
young adult, given a randomized career, salary
and credit score. Based
on these three components, participants made
decisions affecting their
finances.
Stations staffed by
volunteers from community businesses and organizations forced students to
think critically about their
expenses in realty, utilities, groceries, transportation and insurance, among
other categories.
“Now and for the
future, especially with
many of them heading towards college, it’s
extremely important for
students to learn how
to manage a budget as
well as build credit,”
said volunteer Benjamin
Quenneville, a senior
accounting student.

event with mathematics

“I wanted to experience this so that I’ll actually have an idea of what
I’m up against when
I’m first living on my
own,” said junior Tyler

that he has also become
more interested in studying accounting as further
preparation for his future,
in which he plans to join

his financial scenario, he

Representatives from
Polish National Credit
Union assisted students in
understanding their virtual
financial scenarios, accom-
panied by their Comp.
interns, whom work as
tellers at a branch of the
bank within the school.
Throughout the school
year, interns gain hands-on
experience serving faculty,
students and staff.
“Our internship program has been great and
the students have really
gained valuable skills at
such a young age,” said
Polish National Credit
Union school banking
officer Urszula Kulig. “It’s
also great to see them here
today assisting other students. Many students don’t
have an understanding of
financial literacy and it’s
an important skill for us to
help them learn.”
The budgeting exercise on March 8 is just one
component of many financial literacy presentations
designed to provide students a progressive understanding of fiscal choices
over time.
“It has really grown
beyond just a one-day
event,” said Kara M.
Blanchard, CommunityS t u d e n t Wo r k f o r c e
D e v e l o p e r . “ We ’ v e
expanded our efforts to
other grades so students
really have a readiness
and an understanding of
finances.”
Blanchard explained
that Chicopee Public
Schools has worked with
the Polish National Credit
Union to prepare financial
literacy presentations for
all eighth grade students
in the district, with plans
to also offer the presentation to seventh graders.
Peoples Bank has helped
to prepare presentations
for high school freshmen. In partnership with
Chicopee Savings Bank,
seniors will attend a Credit

Elms College.
Blanchard said that

Lawyers, prosecutors, judges, victim witness advocates, probation
officers and court officers
explained their jobs to students throughout the day.
“I’ve always wanted
to be a forensic scientist,”
said Cece Sutton, 14 years
old. “What I learned today
is that law enforcement is
not one small thing. It’s
huge. It’s made of many
different small parts but
it’s a massive field.”
Throughout the
school year, the District
Attorney’s office has visited Bellamy to provide
learning experiences, most
recently in the form of a
mock trial conducted in
Parmele’s classroom on
Dec. 22. During the mock
trial, students played many
of the roles they would
eventually see in reality, in
the courtroom.
“We hope with this
last piece, seeing things
in action, you’ve learned
something not just about
what we do [as a staff]
and about what I do as
District Attorney, but what
all parts of the system do
to make sure that you’re
safe. And to make sure we
have a good, fair, wellfunctioning system,” said
Gulluni to the students.
Judge Robert Murphy
stressed the importance of
making smart choices to
the eighth graders before
they witnessed him in
action during Irenes’ dangerousness hearing. He
explained to the students
that most of the cases he
sits on stem from drug or
alcohol abuse, as much
as 85 percent of cases, he
estimated.
“I would like to be a
judge some day. I like the
authority that they have,”
said 13-year-old Ashjania
Breeland. “This is actually the first time all year
I’ve woken up on time for
school. I was really excited to see the courthouse
and be inside the building.”
The March 8, 360degree view of the courthouse environment concludes Bellamy’s involvement with the Adopt-a-
Class Program, designed
by the District Attorney’s
office to help students
understand the criminal
justice system and stress
the importance of hard
work, smart choices and
good citizenship.
“It has been such a
pleasure to get to know all
of you. It really has been a
great experience,” Gulluni
told the students.

Herren’s visit a slam-dunk for Chicopee students
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – Met
with shear quiet and undivided attention, wellknown public speaker,
recovered heroin addict
and former professional
basketball player Chris
Herren shared anguished
tales of his past with
students.
“He [Herren] talked
about how he and his
friends at one point in time
were just kids hanging out
in a basement. No one
ever looked at each other
and said ‘wow, I can’t
wait to stick that needle
in my arm.’ It’s amazing how he brought to
light that addiction could
happen so easily,” said
High School junior Mason
Labonte. “One thing can
become not enough and
then life becomes about
chasing highs.”
Labonte explained
that Herren told tales of
how he and many in his
core group of friends
began drinking and smoking at a young age but
spiraled towards eventual
heroin use, abusing other
substances along the way
to addiction.
“What started as just
stealing beers out of the
fridge and smoking a
blunt, eventually turned
into me sticking a needle
in my arm at 24. And I
kept putting that needle
in there for the next nine
years,” Herren told students.
Herren, a product of
Fall River, failed multiple
drug tests for marijuana
and cocaine use during his
freshman year at Boston
College in 1994. After
expulsion from the basketball team and from the
school, he finished his collegiate career at California
State University, Fresno
while his drug use continued.
He subsequently had
a seven-year professional career playing both in
the National Basketball
Association and internationally. During his stint
with the Boston Celtics,
he began to use painkillers including OxyContin,
vicodin and percocet.
Eventually, Herren became
a heavy user of both heroin and crystal meth.
Chris Herren speaks to a maximum capacity audience of
students at Chicopee Comprehensive High School.
“After his [Herren’s]
speech, you could tell that
people were really thinking about it and reexamining their life choices…his
speeches aren’t rehearsed
and the stories are the
ones he feels the need to
Holyoke Catholic senior lauded for art
CHICOPEE - Pope
Francis High School today
announced that Holyoke
Catholic High School
Senior Mark Sweeney, a
dual enrollment student
with Holyoke Catholic
and Holyoke Community
College, has received several awards for his artistic
talents, including a SCAD
Challenge competition
award and several The
Boston Globe Scholastic
Arts & Writing awards.
The SCAD Challenge
competition is open to
juniors and seniors in high
schools around the globe
giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents. A panel of Savannah
College of Art and Design
faculty reviewed and evaluated the submissions,
which were required
to demonstrate creativity, innovation, a strong
understanding of aesthetics, and the ability to handle university-level design
assignments. Three winners were selected from
seven categories.
Sweeney, 17, a resident of East Longmeadow
and son of Kevin M.
Sweeney and Dr. Karen E.
Marsian, received a Third
Place Silver Award for a
charcoal portrait of his
grandfather, Karl Marsian.
The piece was a study of
light and shadows, for
which he will receive a
$2,500 scholarship per
year for four years to
Chicopee

apply to his education at
Savannah College of Art
and Design.
He was also awarded
multiple Scholastic Art &
Writing Awards including
a Gold Key in Drawing
and Illustration, a Silver
Key for his portfolio, a
Silver Key in photography and seven Honorable
Mentions.
The Scholastic Art
& Writing Awards were
established in 1923 and is
the nation’s largest, longest-running visual and
literary arts program recognizing the accomplishments of students.
Teens in grades 7
through 12 apply in 29 categories of art and writing
with submissions juried
by luminaries in the visual
and literary arts, including past award recipients.
Panelists look for works
that best exemplify originality, technical skill, and
the emergence of a personal voice or vision.
Last year, students
submitted 300,000 works
of art and writing to the
awards; more than 68,000
were recognized at the
regional level and celebrated in local exhibitions
and ceremonies. The top
2,000 works in the country earned national medals and were celebrated at
a ceremony at Carnegie
Hall.
Sweeney will be
attending an award cer-
emony at the Museum
of Fine Arts, Boston on
Saturday, March 12. In
addition, his Gold Key
pen and ink illustration of
a New England barn was
entered into the National
Awards Competition for
consideration. His instructor, Holyoke Catholic
High School art teacher
Jacqueline BoudreauKinsey, received a Gold
Key Educator pin for her
contribution to his Gold
Key illustration.
Sweeney will receive
an additional $5,000
scholarship from Savannah
College of Art and Design
for his Gold Key award.
“It’s really exciting to
be recognized for something like this and to know
that all the work I’ve done
so far has meaning,” he
said.
Sweeney will complete his Electronic Media
Certificate and graduate
from Holyoke Community
College in May, and will
receive his high school
diploma from Holyoke
Catholic in June.
“Kevin and I are
incredibly proud of Mark
and his artistic achievements,” said Dr. Marsian.
“We have enjoyed watching him mature as an artist, filmmaker and successful student.”
He was named to
the dean’s list at Holyoke
Community College for

Herren’s presentation was

W. Morton, Chicopee
Public Schools Assistant
Superintendent for Student
Support Services. “We
want to do as much as we
can to work on the prevention end of the issue.”
Morton explained that
hopes to further prevention
education efforts, not only
for students but for parents
as well. The district hopes
to further services it offers
in the future, including
adoption of the Screening,
Brief Intervention and
Referral to Treatment
(SBIRT) approach, a public health approach delivering early intervention
to anyone who uses alcohol or drugs in unhealthy
ways. Herren’s presentations were promoted in all
schools, Morton said.
“Chris Herren’s presentation may be the most
powerful and relevant
that students have had the
opportunity to be a part
of. His discussion encompassed drugs, alcohol, peer
pressure, self esteem—
these are all things that
many high school students
struggle with in today’s
society,” said Chicopee
School Vice Principal
Charles Jendrysik. “Many
students internalized the
conversations that were
happening and some of
our students were moved
to tears.”
Since 2011, Herren
has conducted a variety of
programs and initiatives,
including his speeches through The Herren
Project.

tions provided. One classmate was called upon to
run through a roster of
faces to “identify” the
suspect. What she didn’t
know, however, was that
the “real” suspect wasn’t
in there. After identifying
the individual she selected,
officers discussed how a
conversation with an eyewitness could potentially
change the events that take
place in an investigation.
Through various exercises in identification and
detail, officers explained
how easy it is to influence someone’s memory
by providing positive reinforcement or relaying a
past criminal history.
“When you have an
eyewitness on the stand
that is confident in what
they remember and are
able to ‘identify’ someone on the stand, it almost
always solidifies a verdict of a jury because
‘why would a victim or
eyewitness make something up?’” Couture said.
“The fact is, the mind is
not a videotape and can
be rewound to retrieve a
memory.”
Other factors in cases
that include variables of
stress, lighting, and more.
As it stands, at least
330 people have been
exonerated through DNA
evidence from crimes
that they did not commit nationwide. Of those
cases, nine are from
Massachusetts. Because of
these false identifications,
this means the real criminal walked.
“This means the real
bad guy was still out there
to commit additional
crimes,” Couture said.
This is just one class

if anyone had gotten a

were immediately handed

statement to recall what

Hurricanes topple Colts in overtime
By Tim Peterson
Turley Publications
J
ust like the two regular season meetings
between Chicopee Comp
and Amherst, the Western
Massachusetts Division 3A
championship hockey game
between the Fay-Wright
Division rivals was a very close
affair.
The top-seeded Hurricanes,
who won both of the regular season games by one goal,
celebrated a 3-2 overtime victory against the second-seeded
Colts before a large crowd at
the Olympia Ice Center, last
Thursday night.
“We’ve been waiting four
years to achieve this and it just
feels awesome,” said Amherst
senior Josh Lacroix “I really
couldn’t ask for a better bunch
of guys to do this with.”
Lacroix is one of the six
players from Palmer High
School, who are members of the
Hurricanes hockey team as part
of a co-op. There are also several
players from Hopkins Academy
listed on the Hurricanes varsity
roster.
“The difference between
past team’s and this team is
anything that we did this year
was based around the team,”
said Amherst head coach Mike
Rousseau, who took over the
coaching reins at Amherst High
School at the beginning of last
season. “The three schools
all came together and played
together as one. Tonight, we
were able to beat a very talented
Chicopee Comp team for the
third time this season.”
The Colts, who captured the
Western Mass. Division 3A title
a year ago, finished their outstanding season with a 13-6-3
overall record.
“Amherst is a great high
school hockey team, but it’s a
little frustrating losing against
them for the third time this season by one goal,” said Comp
head coach Rob Spear. “A
couple of different bounces,
the final outcome probably
would’ve been a little bit different. I always want to play
against the best and they’re the
best team this year.”
It was the final high school
hockey game for Chicopee

Cardinals upset second-seeded Pacers
By Nate Rosenthal
Turley Publications
CHICOPEE - The Western
Mass Division 1 bracket took
an interesting turn last weekend,
as Pope Francis, the seventh
seed, beat Chicopee the number
two, by a 69-58 score on March
4. While this one had a few
moments where the game was
close, the Cardinals were pretty
much in control throughout. The
difference in this game would be
the absolute control underneath
by Anthony Reynolds. Simply
put, Chicopee could not stop the
big power forward.
If seeding told the whole
story, this game should not have

finished the way it did, but the
games are not won or lost on
paper. That is why we play the
games. Chicopee finished the
season at 16-4 and in first place
tie in the Valley Wheel. They
clinched their spot on Jan. 26
amidst a four game win streak. The Pacers finished the regular
season with seven wins in eight
games. There was little question
that deserved the second seed
and might have had an argument
for the top seed. Chicopee had
started the season at 5-0 with
their first loss coming against
Pope Francis on Jan.4.
The Cardinals started the
season well, winning five of six. But then faltered a bit and its
eight of their next 10. With five
games left to play, they were
7-8 and in danger of missing
out altogether. They put themselves back on track with two
wins, the big one being against
Putnam by three points. After
losses to Holyoke and Central,
the Cardinals were faced with a
win or go home game in their
finale. The beat Commerce,
finished 10-10, but importantly,
they got the seventh seed and a
bye. That set them up to play
Chicopee again. And one again
they prevailed.
The Pacers jumped out
quickly to an 8-2 lead, through
three minutes of the opening
frame. The Cardinals scored
the next 16 points and with two
minutes to go in the first led 18-
8. The teams traded free throws
and it was 19-9 after one. The
Cardinals tacked on five more
points to start the second and led
by 15 and after a Chicopee baskets cored four more points and
led 28-11. After a little back
and forth, the Pacers closed the
gap to seven at the half. In the
third, Chicopee would make a
run to close to four or five and
Pope Francis would pull away
back to double digits. The
third ended on a Cardinal three
to make it 50-38. In the final
frame, the Pacers made their
final move. And it was Jake
Midura who had been relatively

Pavoni, Jeremy Lewis, and
Cam Kagen.
“It’s going to be very
difficult to replace our
senior class next year,”
Spear added. “All of them
work very hard and they’re
very good hockey players.”
The Hurricanes (181-3), who captured the
Western Mass. title for
the first time since 1994,
advance to the Division
3A state finals, which is
scheduled to be held at
the MassMutal Center in
Springfield at 5:30 pm
on Thursday. They’ll be
facing either Nashoba
or Oakmont. Those two
squads were slated to face
each other in the Central
Mass. finals on Monday
night.
“My first two years
playing for this hockey
team was very tough, but
I stayed with it and winning the championship
game just feels great,” said
Matt Gazaille, who’s also
from Palmer. “The new
coaching staff has really
helped us improve as a
team during the past two
years. They’ve taught us a
lot and they also installed
a brand new system.”
Gazaille, who’s one of
the seven seniors listed on
the varsity roster, missed
most of his junior season with an injury. He’s
a defenseman and is the
Hurricanes captain this
season.
“I’ve had a lot of
good captains during
my coaching career, but
Matt Gazaille is one of
the best captains I’ve ever
had,” said Rousseau, who
was an assistant coach at
Cathedral for five years
before being named as
the Amherst head coach.
“That kid always puts the
team first and everyone
follows him.”
One of the Hurricanes
assistant captains is junior
Jake Balderston, who posted his fourth hat trick of
the season in the Western
Mass. finals.
With 11.1 seconds
remaining in the first
overtime period, Amherst
senior Jack Rees shot
the puck from the left
circle and it deflected off
Balderston’s skate into the
net past Nunes (38 saves)
for the game-winner. It
began a wild celebration
by the Amherst players.
“We were outshooting
them and I told my players
at the end of the third period to keep throwing the
puck at the net,” Rousseau
said. “If we kept doing
that, the puck was bond to
deflect off a player’s leg or
off a skate and it did.”
The Hurricanes,
who outshot the Colts,
41-27, took a 1-0 lead
Chicopee

on Balderston’s first
goal, which was assisted by junior Nathan
Masteralexis, at the 12:35
mark of the opening period.
In Amherst’s first
meeting of the season
against Comp, which was
a 4-3 win, Balderston netted a pair of goals and
added two assists. He also
had an assist in the second
meeting, which was a 3-2
victory.
The Colts, who
defeated the Hurricanes in
last year’s semifinals, tied
this year’s championship
game for the first time
when a breakaway shot
by Lewis went into the
net past Amherst sophomore goaltender Clayton
Bowser (25 saves) with
6.4 seconds left in the first
period. Kagen was credited with the assist.
Lewis finished his
outstanding high school
career with 109 goals and
86 assists for a total of 195
points.
Kagen, who’s an outstanding three-sport athlete, scored his 77th career
goal at the 12-minute
mark of the second period, which gave the Colts
a 2-1 advantage. The goahead goal was assisted by
Brandon Pavoni.
“Cam and Jeremy are
two of the leading goal
scorers in the state,” Spear
said. “Both of them are
unbelievable hockey players. We really wanted to
win another championship
title this year.”
At the 5:15 mark of
the third period, Amherst
senior Nick Freniere,
w h o ’s f r o m P a l m e r,
fired a shot towards the
net, which was saved by
Nunes, but Balderston,
who entered the state
finals with a team-leading
26 goals this season, was
in the right spot to knock
home the rebound shot
tying the score at 2-2.
The other three players from Palmer listed on
the Hurricanes varsity roster are sophomore’s Jake
Riel, Nicco Cardaropoli,
and Jarrett Tripp.
Brandon Pavoni had
three shots on goal during a Comp power play
late in the third period, but
Bowser made the saves
keeping the game tied a
little bit longer.
In the closing minutes
of regulation, Cardaropoli
and Masteralexis had shots
on goal for Amherst, but
Nunes made the saves and
the contest went to overtime.
Both teams had several scoring chances during
the overtime period before
Balderston put his name
into the history books with
11.1 seconds remaining.

ABOUT OWNER
KYLE FORBES BISSELL
Kyle began exploring archery when
he was 7 years old and started teaching
archery by age 15. With a Masters in
Education and a love of teaching, he
has been helping people of all ages
move their bodies in fun and efficient
ways for over 20 years. He was a Level
III alpine ski instructor and in 1997
Skiing Magazine was counted among
the 75 best instructors in the USA for
children. Kyle is passionate about
experiential and authentic education.
He writes, “I love archery. More
specifically, I love the journey and
lessons that archery provides; lessons
that, unless they are remembered and
applied off of the field, are far less
potent. Patience, breathing, focus,
goal setting, posture, body awareness,
quality of character.”

THE DVR IS ONE OF THE BEST
THINGS TO HAPPEN TO TELEVISION
It’s not that great for television advertisers though
From year to year, the studies have shown that people believe in their local
papers for the news they need and the advertising they rely on.
Local newspapers are also preferred in a 3-1 margin over TV, showing consistency from previous research. On average, readers of a 2012 survey spent 39.92 minutes reading local newspapers,
up slightly more than the 38.95 minutes in 2011 and 37.5 minutes in 2010. The best medium to fast
forward your business message remains in print.
