area without power
Not a microburst, as

MONSON — Severe, localized
weather late Friday evening resulted
in downed trees and power outages
on several streets in northwest Monson.
According to a the Monson Police Department, at approximately
5:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9, high
winds from a passing storm brought
down several trees on spots located
on Silver Street, Thayer Road, Reimers Road and Neiske Road. Several of the fallen trees and branches
fell across the roadways blocking
traffic, while others fell across electrical lines, resulting in the loss of
power for several homes located in
the vicinity.
According to Monson Police
Chief Stephen Kozloski, emergency
crews responded to the scenes from
the police and fire departments as
well as the highway department,
working to clear the roadways until roughly midnight. National Grid,
Comcast and Verizon crews continued to work throughout the night and
into the early morning to re-establish
power and services to the homes located on the roads and in other selected spots in the area.
No injuries were reported during the time of the incident.
Though initial reports from the
incident stated that the trees were
brought down due to a microburst,
later reports show that “straight-line
winds” from the storm were the result.
Kozloski noted that several calls
were made to the station about the
incident after viewing reports quoted
by an online Twitter feed titled “Monson Scanner” and said that, “While
the information appears genuinely
accurate we wish to clarify that this

PALMER — One could say the fifthgraders at Converse Middle School in
Palmer couldn’t learn their lesson without
breaking some eggs.
As has become an annual tradition at
the school, students were assigned a project of constructing a form of protection for
an egg if it were thrown out of a window.
The idea was initiated by former teacher
Ursula St. Amand two decades ago, after
reading from the book “Sideways Stories
from the Wayside School,” in which a
teacher named Mrs. Jewls throws a computer out the window to teach kids about
gravity.
And on Friday, Oct. 9, English/language arts teacher Ivy Peritz-Smith used a
microphone to dictate to her fellow teachers when to toss their encased eggs out
the window, as well as when the students
could race forward and see the results.
A large crowd of fifth- graders and their
families were gathered outside the school
on an overcast day for the Egg Drop, an
event that Principal David Stetkiewicz
said fifth-graders look forward to from
the start of school each year.
“If your egg breaks, throw it away
immediately,” said Peritz-Smith, while
fellow teachers such as Claudia Messier
revved up the crowd with dancing and
hand signals.
And the children responded, as chants
of “Drop the eggs!” rose from the crowd
during various rounds of the Egg Drop.

made a solemn vow and a commitment to help those in need. It is a perilous line of work they often do not

PALMER — This weekend,
Palmer residents will have the opportunity to see high-flying action
and athletic skill as Revival Pro
Wrestling makes its way to the St.
Thomas the Apostle Church Parish
Hall for their “Get Rowdy” event.
The event will jump off on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m., and it is what
promoters hope will be the first of
many in Palmer for years to come. A
number of the wrestlers themselves
also have ties to the Palmer area.
Since 2013, RPW has been providing wrestling entertainment in
Western Massachusetts and began as
an offshoot of a similar organization
back in 2011. Strong athletes, catchy
story lines, and up-close action have
made RPW popular locally and put

the St. Thomas parish hall last week.
Though filled with chairs and tables
at the time, the room would soon be
converted to fit a full wrestling ring
and lighting for Saturday’s show.
Last spring, RPW co-founder
and president Eric Newton passed
away suddenly and since then, his
wife Beth and several other members of RPW have been hard at work
rebuilding the company from the
ground up by bringing in fresh new
faces and working to create an event
that people of all ages can enjoy.
“We’ve brought in a lot of people who were on the sidelines in the
past who really stepped up. I think
we’ve become a far stronger team
because of it,” said Rameika who
attributes much of the success of
the organization to the wrestlers involved and their commitment to the
performance.
“It’s a labor of love,” said Rameika. “This is a company that is
all about second chances, new opportunities, and new beginnings. My
home for wayward children.”
“This is a whole different caliber
kind of event,” said RPW Manager
Jose Garcia who has spent much of
his life wrestling and training others
as well. “These guys are physical.
They’re athletes and it’s a lot of nonstop action that you see at our shows
but you’re not going to see blood or
over the top violence. We try to keep
it a family oriented event that everyone can enjoy.”
Garcia said that with the company’s rebirth came new opportunities to create more detailed, well
thought-out stories for the wrestlers
that he said audiences can connect to
more easily.
After being hosted at the Chicopee Boys and Girls Club for four
years, RPW has been seeking out
a new place to call home since last
spring. This weekend’s event will be
the first of four bi-monthly events
scheduled to take place St. Thomas
that, if successful, could yield a consistent line-up of local shows in the
future.
Several of RPW’s members, including current champion AJ Motta
aka. AJ Cruise and Chris Lamberton
a.k.a. Shady, live and work locally
and assisted in helping Rameika and
Garcia secure the St. Thomas hall for
the upcoming show.
“We’ve been really fortunate
to have such an amazing group of
people working to make this happen,” said Motta who discussed how
RPW was more community-friendly
than other organizations and how
he hoped that through having more
shows in Palmer the group can further broaden their fan base.
“When you come to see us perform there is no barricade like other
shows. To be able to get that close
to the action, there really isn’t a bad
seat in the house,” said Motta.

screened at UUPM
MONSON — On Friday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m., the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Parish of Monson will be hosting a screening of “God Loves
Uganda” at the parish, located at 177 Main St., Monson.
Through verite-style camerawork, interviews and
hidden camera footage, the documentary allows American religious leaders and their young missionaries that
make up the “front lines in a battle for billions of souls”
to explain their positions in their own words. Missionaries from the American evangelical movement have been
credited with creating schools and hospitals in Uganda,
but they have also been blamed for promoting dangerous
religious bigotry.
Modest refreshments and a discussion of the issues
raised will follow the screening, and will feature members of PFLAG of Greater Worcester, the LGBT Asylum
Support Task Force and some LGBT refugees currently
seeking asylum, who will share their stories. The film
screening is free, however a donation of $5 is suggested.

Planning committee
seeks support
By Douglas Farmer
Staff Writer
PALMER — The Palmer 300th Anniversary Committee has an ambitious schedule in mind for next year, but it will take the
support and hard work of the community
to help make it come off right, said Town
Councilor Lorinda Baker.
The town traces its roots to the year
1716, when John King settled near the
Quaboag River.
Baker, the chairwoman of the Anniversary Committee, said there are about half a
dozen active members in the group. They
have developed a tentative list of ideas,
ranging from a Christmas tree burning event
in January and a pancake breakfast to an ice
cream social and a parade to be scheduled
to coincide with “Celebrate Palmer” in August.
But she told the rest of the Town Council at their meeting Tuesday night that the
extent of the schedule will depend on over
200 sponsorship letters sent out to local
businesses and organizations.
“We hope to have other groups step up
and defray some of the cost to hold these
events,” she said. “Plan A is to have an event
every month, while Plan B is to have events
seasonally, in other words four events during the course of the year.”
She noted that some local businesses
and agencies had come forward to help already. For example, Baker said she was coordinating the Christmas tree-burning event
with Three Rivers Fire Chief Scott Turner,
Dick Rondeau of Alvin Rondeau’s Dairy
Bar had said he could donate ice cream for
an ice cream social and the Friends of the
Palmer Seniors offered help for the pancake
breakfast.
The Town Council voted to allocate
$5,000 for the celebration last year, and
Baker said some of that has been spent on
purchasing t-shirts and other memorabilia,
with a logo designed by a student from
Pathfinder Regional Vocational Technical
High School.
“We have had a presence at as many
community events as possible to get the
word out, and we will be at the Palmer
Pumpkin Palooza this weekend,” she said.
“We have also ordered a giant, three-tiered
artificial birthday cake to be presented next
year. During Celebrate Palmer (organized
by the Palmer Historical & Cultural Center), we hope to have a parade that leads up
to the event, similar to the setup of the Monson Summerfest.”
The Palmer Pumpkin Palooza will be
held this Saturday, Oct. 17 at Pulaski Park
in Three Rivers from noon to 8 p.m., and a
booth for the 300th Anniversary Committee
will be set up, along with a number of other
local organizations.
“One of the most ambitious ideas we
had was a Village Olympics, with contests
of teams from the different villages in Palmer, but that will take a lot of volunteers,” said
Baker. “We’ve also thought about lectures
about the history of each of the villages. We
need both volunteers and sponsors for our
activities and the success of the celebration
will depend on how many people come forward.”
The next meeting of the Palmer 300th
Anniversary Committee will be held today,
Thursday, Oct. 15 at the Palmer Police Station at 6 p.m. The committee currently consists of Baker, James Ostrout, Nelson Pease,
David Whitney, Eric Raymond, Eric Duda
and Margaret Ferry.

Committee can be viewed at Palmer300th.

A pledge of solidarity
Community honors
violence victims
By Douglas Farmer
Staff Writer
PALMER – There were several members of the Palmer community who spoke
during the Take Back the Night event held
in Palmer last week, but there were some
common themes. Among them were that
domestic violence exists nearby whether
neighbors want to realize it or not, and –
more importantly – everyone deserves to
be treated with respect in a relationship.
And while a few of the speakers described themselves as survivors of domestic violence, there were constant visual
reminders at Depot Park of those who did
not survive or are still struggling: Purple
ribbons were hung in honor of the 113
restraining orders filed at Palmer District
Court between January and September of
this year, and candles were lit by members of the Palmer Domestic Violence
Task Force in memory of the 13 victims
who lost their lives in Massachusetts during the same period.
Take Back the Night as a concept has
existed since the 1970s, and was held once
again in Palmer on Thursday, Oct. 8.
On hand were domestic violence victims and advocates on their behalf, as well
as leaders and residents within the community. In addition to the brief remarks
of those such as Task Force Coordinator
Joyce Axelson, Task Force member Deb
Nolan, state Rep. Todd Smola (R-Warren) and Acting Palmer Police Chief John
Janulewicz, Faith Ward of Monson, a
survivor of domestic violence and sexual
assault from a very young age, could be
heard singing plaintively about living in
fear.
“People in the field of domestic violence dedicate their lives to protect those
who are suffering, sometimes putting
their own lives in harm’s way,” said Axelson. “But one of the things this event is
about is each one of us saying that we will
not be silent. With one voice we will say
‘I am, I can, I will.’”
She read encouraging quotes from the
likes of Maya Angelou, as Ward sang an
original song called “Glass Girl,” which
she said mirrored her own life.
“Days have gone to years and I’m
still dying here,” she sang. “I’m a glass
girl and you’ve shattered me.”
But Smola said that the work that
had been done in town by the Task Force,
including displays at the Palmer Public
Library, had gone a long way to raise
awareness. He noted the work of Helena
Jalbert, a witness advocate at Palmer District Court, who sees evidence of violence
every day she goes to work.
“It’s not as simple as people think it
is to get out of these situations,” he said.
“In many cases, they involved children
and families. As a community, we need to
build a network of support.”
He noted strides the Legislature has
taken in recent months, such as making
strangulation – which happens in many
domestic violence incidents - a felony.
And Janulewicz said there had been
positive steps taken in fighting domestic
abuse.
“I’ve been on the police department
for a long time and for a while domestic
violence wasn’t even considered a crime,”
he said. “We’ve taken important steps but
Purple ribbons hang in recognition of the 113 domestic victims who filed
for restraining orders at Palmer District Court between January and September of this year.

says describes her own life.
we can’t be satisfied and have to keep improving.”
On display at Depot Park was information about the Task Force as well
as literature from the National Coalition
Against Domestic Violence, which included sobering data about psychological
abuse. Survey information has revealed
that 48.4 percent of women and 48.8 percent of men have experienced at least one
psychologically aggressive behavior by
an intimate partner, and 18.7 percent of
women have experienced threats of physical harm by an intimate partner.
Nolan,
who
also
said she was
a survivor,
said she tries
to speak out
whenever
she sees examples
of
disrespect,
no
matter
how small.
“ W e
need to step
up and speak
out whenever
we see anything that’s
disrespectful
to women
and domestic violence
victims, because that’s
how it starts,
and

how our culture has come to accept domestic violence,” she said.
And Palmer Town Council President
Barbara Barry said she hoped more participated in Take Back the Night in the
future.
“We need to raise our sons to have
respect and our daughters to have confidence,” she said. “That’s how things will
change.”

project to beautify conservation land in Ware. So
our question to readers this week is: “Do you think
Eagle Scout hopefuls should be used more often for
beautification projects in our communities?”
We look forward to your answers.
Our question to our readers recently was: “Do
you believe residents are restricted from speaking
too much at meetings?” Sixty percent said yes,
while forty percent said it depended on the board.
Thanks for voting.
Empowerment is the
key to overcoming
addiction
L
egislation recently passed by the state Senate to help prevent opiate addiction takes
significant strides toward solving a tragic
problem.
While there are certainly questions of feasibility pertaining to key components of the bill, they
will address some of the missing links in the chain
that extends from chronic pain and its treatment to
full-fledged addiction and need to be codified as
soon as possible.
One of the worst kept secrets in the opiate
crisis in the Commonwealth is that there are massive profits being made by the prescription of controlled substances, which often lead to the search
for cheaper narcotics available on the street.
The bill arms potential patients and the communities in which they live with choices that will
help reduce the risk of opiate addiction before it
begins.
Regardless of any stereotypes that linger in
the minds of those making law about addicts, giving them the tools that can help facilitate recovery
may just ease the burden on local law enforcement
and a health care system that is scrambling to respond to the opiate epidemic.
The Senate’s legislation grew out of a report
published last month by the Special Senate Committee on Opioid Addiction Prevention, Treatment
and Recovery Options on which state Sen. Anne
Gobi (D-Spencer) sat. It requires pain management plans be created to inform patients of a variety of options available beyond potent prescription
drugs, and allows patients to voluntarily request a
quantity of drugs less than what was prescribed, as
well as to be put on a list of patients not to receive
opiates. These steps are encouraging to people
like Scott Malo of Monson, a recovering addict
who founded the nonprofit organization Monson
HEARS, which focuses on education and awareness about addiction. He said he already works
with his doctors to accomplish these goals, and it
takes a combination of personal responsibility and
thoughtful care to pull an individual back from the
ledge of drug abuse.
Malo is correct that there are certain elements
of the legislation that will be difficult to enforce,
such as the demand that drug companies create a
management plan for taking back unused amounts
of medication. This component of the bill may
not be necessary, as largely successful drug collections are happening on a regular basis in our
communities. He also noted that language requiring the identification of “at risk” youths in school
and the presentation of options to them will be a
sensitive subject and will require a proactive – and
no doubt compassionate – group of guidance staff
to bring such an effort to fruition.
It will take the awareness of many in the community to get a handle on how much abuse is out
there; no one can afford to turn a blind eye in any
aspect of community life.
It is vital that the state House of Representatives take up the Senate bill as soon as possible,
for this is not a state priority that must wind its
way through the often hopelessly tedious bureaucracy in Boston.
It is a battle being waged for the very survival
of thousands of potential or recovering addicts and
lawmakers will need to harness whatever boldness
they can muster and act.
Bulbs and their

animal foes.
Columnist
Although known as bulbs
under a general heading, crocus
are actually corms, or “modified stems.” Sometimes it
is difficult to tell which end is “up.” Examine the corm
carefully and you will likely notice the start of a shoot
or two poking through a fibrous, papery covering on
one side and a base plate with the remnants of the previous year’s roots on the other. Now that you know
what to look for, planting them correctly is easy. New
crocus corms form above old corms each year. Keep
a bed of crocus thriving by digging them up during
dormancy (after the foliage has ripened) and replanting them at the proper depth every third or fourth year.
Tiny “cormlets” can be divided from the mother plant
during this time as well. Usually they will take four or
more years to produce blossoms.
Crocus corms are especially tasty to rodents.
There are all kinds of tactics one can use to try and
keep the buggers from eating them. Some gardeners
go through the trouble of making little cages out of
chicken wire and planting the corms inside. Others
surround the corms with sharp gravel to discourage
the animal from digging them up. There are also a
number of deterrents, natural and otherwise, on the
market that may be worth a try if you have a severe
enough problem.
Deer also seem to find some bulbs especially tasty.

purpose. Just over a decade ago, the “front oval” was

Letters to the Editor
Thanks for supporting
me in scouting
To the editor:
I just want to give a special
thanks to Mr. Tommy Leecock,
owner of John’s Paint store,
Laura Larimee, manager of the
Ware Wal-mart, Palmer Paving
and of course, David Majka with
the Palmer Water Department for
their generous donations towards
my Eagle project, which was the
painting of a number of fire hydrants in town.
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal,
helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,
obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave,
clean and reverent. I would like
to believe that I have learned all
of these with the guidance of
my parents, Kevin and Sandy
Bechard, and through scouting
with Troop 160. I will take what
I have learned and try to apply
these traits in my everyday life,
for the rest of my life.
Thank you.

Time for Prudential Committee
to step down
To the editor:
I am writing this letter to
express my complete disappointment and disgust with the actions
of the Three Rivers Fire & Water
District Prudential Committee
concerning the charges/complaints against Fire Chief Scott
Turner. Once again, the committee has yet to “find’’ anything
that allows them to discipline or
dismiss Chief Turner. It seems
that the only thing that they have
found is a public official serving
the village of Three Rivers and
doing so at such a high level that
we, the resident of Three Rivers,
can’t ask for him to do more as he
is already exceeding the public’s
expectation.
I believe Chief Turner’s response to the charges clearly
showed that he was performing
his job within the guidelines set
forth by department policies and
also within the requirements set
forth in laws of the Commonwealth Massachusetts and other
regulatory agencies. With that
said and done, I ask myself why
is the public showing allowed to
go on? The answer to the ques-
tion is quite simple, in my opinion. The committee is being used
as vehicle to press forward a personal agenda.
The committee has long
been left unchecked and allowed
to do what it wanted to do. I am
sick and tired of this committee
running free. This committee is
not running in the best interests
of the residents of the Three Rivers Fire & Water District.
In my opinion to correct the
wrongs that have been allowed
to happen, the following must
happen: Chief Turner must be
cleared of all alleged charges and
complaints; Chief Turner must
receive a public televised apology from Raymond Domey for
initiating the bogus investigation
from made-up charges; Raymond
Domey should step down as
member of the Prudential Committee; the remaining committee
members should follow Domey’s
lead and should also resign their
positions; and the Prudential
Committee should be replaced
with new blood.

Monson Summerfest
Committee
Disgusted with
committee’s actions
To the editor:
On Tuesday, Oct. 6, I attended the hearing of the Three
Rivers Fire District Prudential
Committee which was, according to the published agenda, “to
discuss potential discipline of the
fire chief,” namely Scott Turner.
At Chief Turner’s request, the
meeting was held as an open
meeting. There were dozens of
members of the public attending,
as well as representatives of the
Three Rivers Fire Department,
several area fire chiefs and the
media. The meeting was conducted by the three members of
the Prudential Committee, their
counsel and a paralegal assistant,
and Chief Turner was joined by
his counsel.
At the opening of the meeting, Chairman Raymond Domey
announced that disturbances
would not be tolerated, and a
member of the Palmer Police Department was present to eject any
persons who spoke out or audibly
reacted to the proceedings. At
this meeting, one of several since
concerns by the committee were
raised into the possible discipline
of Chief Turner for what were
apparently closely held alleged
infractions, the chief’s counsel
persuaded the committee to actually voice their charges. This
seemed to me to be reluctantly
agreed to by the primary spokesman, Chairman Domey.
I say that these infractions
seemed closely held because up
to this date the concerns of the
committee were communicated
as a series of questions (rather
than charges), which Chief Turner answered in a manner I would
have considered as professional
and thorough. While the answers
were not as detailed in that document as they were responded to
at the recent meeting, I believe
a reasonable person would have
found them sufficient for the
purpose of addressing the issues
raised. The key word here is “reasonable.” I have served on several
boards of various types myself
over the years, and have not witnessed such unreasonable and
demeaning behavior towards any
person, and certainly not someone with the professional ability
and reputation that Chief Turner
enjoys. Every reply the chief
made, or point his counsel raised,
was met by at best skepticism, if
not outright disbelief or dismissal
by Chairman Domey in spite of
being presented with what I believe were the facts. The other

We all should Take a Stand
against domestic violence
To the editor:
From dairy to dollars
members of the committee, William Jalbert and Donald Reim,
except for brief statements, were
mostly silent during the proceedings. In contrast to the committee
chairman, I found Chief Turner
to be professional and respectful
in his responses in the face of essentially being called a liar over
and over again.
There is a simple principle
in both employee-employer
management and in dealing with
other people in general, and this
is simple respect. As a member
of the public, I experienced none
of that from the committee table,
and I am sure that Chief Turner
did not as well, certainly not the
professional respect he should
receive. In his closing statement,
Chief Turner’s counsel asked that
communication and clarification, through the development of
clearly and explicitly stated policies or rules if necessary, be used
to put this matter to rest. As a
reasonable person, I applaud this
solution to the frequent invocations of “He should have known”
and “The retired chief did it that
way.”
In closing, I would like to
have two questions answered:
Considering the alleged infractions were fully answered, as a
reasonable person might understand after both Chief Turner’s
written reply and the recent fuller
replies, can we as members of the
Three Rivers Fire and Water District expect this exercise lacking
in anything resembling actionable offenses to finally be put to
rest before any more damage is
done to Chief Turner’s reputation
or legal fees are incurred by the
taxpayers? And with the timely
conclusion of this matter hopefully forthcoming, will the Three
Rivers Fire and Water District
Prudential Committee, and especially Chairman Domey, offer
sincere apologies both to Chief
Turner and the members of the
Thee Rivers Fire and Water District for this unnecessary waste of
time and money?
In my opinion, there is a
problem in the district and it has
nothing to do with the activities
of Chief Turner. It is a wonder
that we have any dedicated employees willing to work under the
oversight of this Prudential Committee if what I saw recently was
representative of the management
they are given.

25 YEARS AGO
50 YEARS AGO
FROM THE PAGES OF THE
JOURNAL REGISTER THIS
WEEK IN 1990…
PALMER JOURNAL REGISTER THIS WEEK IN 1965…
Palmer: Palmer High School
boys’ cross-country team split this
week in a tri-meet with Minnechaug
and Chicopee held Friday, Oct. 5,
at Wilbraham. The Panther runners
easily defeated the Minnechaug Falcons 20-41, but found the Chicopee
Skiptowners more formidable, losing 41-19. Freshman Jason O’Neil
ran a dandy race, finishing third in
the meet and first for Palmer. Junior
Jason Gelinas continues to return to
last year’s shape, Coach Dave Lynch
said, as he finished sixth in the meet
and second for Palmer. He was running despite having been stricken
with intestinal grippe. The LaBorgne brothers, Matthew and Peter,
and Bobby Lynch finished the scoring for the Palmer harriers. All three
runners are sophomores.
Monson: A decision for a natural gas line to be installed in the area
is expected Friday, Oct. 12. Meeting
in Boston, the state Energy Facilities
Siting Council is expected to issue
its final ruling on a proposal by Bay
State Gas Co. to install a line running
through Monson, Palmer, Hampden,
Ludlow and Wilbraham. While town
residents and officials have generally supported the concept of making
natural gas service available to the
area as an alternative energy source,
many have strongly criticized Bay
State’s proposed gas line route down
Main Street, the Monson’s business
thoroughfare.
Palmer/Monson: Voting on
the controversial Question 3 in the
November general election is really
not any controversy to the top two
school administrators in the PalmerMonson area. They are just plain in
outright opposition to the issue. For
example, James Pasquill, superintendent of Palmer schools, notes that
if Question 3 passes, “No one would
recognize the school system…that
is…if they can stay open.” Pasquill
not only is solidly opposed to Question 3 because of its threat to the regular school program, but also faced
with new complexities as Palmer, in
one sense, starts a new era in education here next year. The new $30plus million school complex opens
here, and with it, hopefully come
various new programs. However, if
the new CLT (Citizens for Limited
Taxation) measure is passed (Question 3), Pasquill says there won’t be
any money to use many of the new
facilities, ranging from the athletic
fields and science labs, to, for example, the art and music programs that
won’t be funded at the elementary
school level.
National: If the calls placed
on Selective Service for men for the
armed forces remain at their present
level, it appears it will be necessary
to order for induction registrants
who were married before Aug. 27,
1965, John C. Carr Jr., Massachusetts Selective Service Director, stated today. Under an Executive Order
issued by President Kennedy in September of 1963, married men were
placed in a lower order of selection
and were not inducted. However,
“lower order of selection” did not
mean deferment. President Johnson
later decreed that men married after
Aug. 26, 1965 were not qualified
for lower order of selection. With a
dwindling supply of eligible men, it
is now evident Selective Service will
probably have to draft some married
men early in 1966.
Palmer: This year marks the
75th anniversary of the “Woman’s
Tuesday Club of Palmer.” In the
year 1890, a group of women met
with the purpose of forming an “intellectual and social” club, limiting
its membership to twelve. The Tuesday Club has continued throughout
the years, still maintaining the same
principles and still limiting its membership to twelve women.
Palmer: Palmer High School
meets a tough challenger Saturday,
when they come up against Enfield
High School in what Coach John
Paydos calls the “Key Game” in the
Suburban League this week. Palmer
has compiled a record of 2-0-1 by
beating Trade and Longmeadow and
tying South Hadley. The locals have
to win on Saturday according to Paydos, if “we are going to be a serious
threat in the league.”

Full throttle for a cause
Quaboag Riders host
cancer fundraiser
By Wyatt Aloisio
Staff Writer
MONSON — The Quaboag
Riders Motorcycle Club is certainly
accustomed to hosting a wide variety of motor-revving, throttle-flooring spectacles throughout the summer and early fall. But this Saturday,
Oct. 17, the club will host an event
that guns the engines for a special
purpose at the grounds on King Avenue in Monson.
For the second year in a row, the
club will be hosting the Crawling
for a Cure organization who will be
holding their third annual Go Topless Day trail ride to raise money for
breast cancer research and survivor
care.
Founded in 2011 and centered
out of Westford, Crawling for a
Cure is a nonprofit organization
run by volunteers and members of
several Northeastern Association
Four Wheel Drive Clubs with a passion for vehicles who host events
throughout the riding season. Proceeds raised are donated to the Dana
Farber Cancer Institute in Boston
and the Pink Angels Inc., an organization that supports breast cancer
patients and survivors.
The event is predicted to
draw hundreds from miles around
to watch and participate in a day
packed with off-roading “mayhem”
which is open to all street legal vehicles with the exception of ATVs.
Vehicles are preferred to have front
and rear tow points and the price of
admission to participate in the event
is $20 per vehicle with inspection
and registration beginning at 9 a.m.
and the trail rides starting at 10 a.m.
Last October, over 350 people
come out and more than 250 vehicles entered to participate in both

the ride at the Quaboag Riders club
as well as another ride hosted at
Backwoods Farm in Rumney, New
Hampshire. Roughly $3500 was
raised from the two events to be donated to Dana Farber and the Pink
Angels with Crawl for a Cure with
combined $7,000 donated to the two
foundations at the end of the year.
Crawl for a Cure President and
Founder Jeffery Ray said he hopes to
top that total after this year’s event,
which he said is expected to nearly
double attendance from last year.
“This is one of the biggest
events for our organization held during the year,” said Ray. “It’s always
great being able to work with the
Quaboag Riders and we are incredibly thankful for them letting us use
their site to host it.”
Crawling for a Cure’s VicePresident and co-founder Bethany
Savard is a 20-year survivor of
breast cancer and has worked hard
with her friends and family to continue to support and run the organization along with Ray and other
volunteers involved.
Along with the funds raised
from the cost of tickets, raffles will
also be held at noon and 2 p.m. for
prizes, gear, and Crawling for a Cure
merchandise which will also be on
sale and funds from all of which will
be donated.
Although only the trails will
be open to the public to compete on
that day, the Quaboag Riders will
be hosting a motorcycle exhibition
that day on their hill “The Monson Monster,” one of the toughest
hills in the country to traverse on
any vehicle. For over 70 years, the
Quaboag Riders have expanded hillclimbing events to include not only
motorcycles but ATVs and 4x4 drag
races as well.

Garden, from page 4
closer to the road and we had no
problem with Bambi or her friends
whatsoever. Then we moved the
garden to accommodate a change
in the parking lot and voila, a neon
“free lunch” sign alerted every deer
in the neighborhood that there was
a safe place to dine…on my tulips.
No, the fence is not that attractive,
but it does do the trick. If you’d
rather forgo the enclosure, consider
planting bulbs that deer find unappetizing. Daffodils are among their
least favorite, and there are numerous varieties to choose from. From
teeny tiny, to double-flowered,
multi-stemmed, fragrant and gigantic trumpeted types. For the best effect, plant daffodils in groups of at
least three. The bigger, bolder types
look best in a naturalized woodland
planting or mixed in with shrubs in
the border. More diminutive varieties are better suited to perennial
gardens.
Another spring flowering bulb
that deer find unattractive is the
hyacinth. Blooming in every pastel
tone under the sun, this flower reminds me of Easter! It should, since
many pots of fragrant hyacinth are
forced each year in time for the religious holiday. Be forewarned when
planting them: many people experience a dermatitis-like reaction when
handling the bulbs. Play it safe and
wear a pair of gloves. Hyacinths
look nice when mixed in with perennials. Plant them next to plants
that leaf out well to hide thick, ripening foliage.

• 1 in 7 women and 1 in 18 men have been
stalked by an intimate partner during their lifetime to
the point where they felt very fearful or believed that
they or someone close to them would be harmed or
killed.
• On a typical day, there are more than 20,000
phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide.

(From left) Timothy Cowan of the Oneida Fire Department in New
York, and Zachary Parris, Amy Flemming, and Laurie Rocco of
the Palmer Fire Department. Rocco was assigned as Flemming’s
Fire Service Escort during the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend service held Oct. 2 to 4.

close friends over the years who I’ve
met therem which includes other
firefighters and members of the families who I’ve assisted in the past. It’s
something that I really look forward
to doing every year.”
Following a dinner on Friday
evening, a full weekend of events
was planned out for everyone who
attended. Families, both new and returning, met in groups on Saturday
where they received support from
one another and learned about services available to help get through
the difficult time of loss. A special
candle vigil was held later that evening at the Basilica of the National
Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
where luminaries made by families
where lit to honor the lost men and
women. The weekend culminated
with a special ceremony honoring
the fallen heroes.
Along with Rocco, Palmer Fire
Lt. William Bernat also attended the
event for his second year, acting as
an administrator and helping to organize the weekend’s activities and
ensure everything went smoothly
for all of the parties involved. Of the
more than 300 firefighters who apply
yearly to the program to participate,
only 100 are chosen with many being
returning members from prior years.
“The year after my first time going I applied again and was turned
down,” said Rocco. “I was absolutely
crushed.”
In addition to being a firefighter,
Rocco also serves as the Palmer Fire
Department’s S.A.F.E. educator, a
member of the Mass. Public Fire and
Life Safety Education Task Force,
the Mass. Association of Safety and
Fire Educators (MaSAFE), and is
a founding member of the Western
Mass. SAFE Association. Part of
Rocco’s duties include such things as
organizing open houses at the fire station, speaking in schools to students,
and organizing visits to local hospitals during Fire Prevention Week.
This year at the memorial service, Rocco assisted
Amy Flemming, wife of
fallen firefighter Kellen
Flemming, 29, from South
Carolina. Flemming lost her
husband suddenly in November of last year after he
suffered a sudden heart attack after a long work shift.
The couple was waiting to
have kids while Amy finished attending school to be
a psychologist. Along with
Amy, Kellen’s best friend
and fellow firefighter Zachary Parris was also present
throughout the ceremonial
weekend to pay his respects
and assist.
Also this year for the
first time, Rocco was able
to meet President Barack
Obama. Obama attended
the memorial service on
Sunday and spoke of the
bravery, heroism, and selflessness that comes with
being a firefighter.
In his speech to the
survivors and those in attendance the president remarked that, “Those we
honor today lived a fun-

damental principle that binds us as
Americans: I am my brother’s keeper
and I am my sister’s keeper. That we
look out for one another.”
After his speech, Obama unveiled a bronze plaque with the
names of the 87 firefighters inscribed
on it to be placed on the memorial.
One by one, the survivors of the
firefighters and their assistants were
called up to meet and shake hands
with the president.
“It really just an overwhelming
experience,” said Rocco who said it
only truly set in once he had entered
the room. “It was a really great for
him to be there and a much needed
thing for him to attend like that and
show his support of the families.”
Afterwards the families and survivors received an American flag, a
personalized badge with the name of
their loved one, and a red rose.
For Palmer Fire Chief Alan
Roy, both Laurie and Bernat’s commitment to the weekend and other
community functions serves as an
example of something for which all
departments should strive.
“It really takes a special kind of
person to be able to do that, especially when the family has lost someone
to them so recently,” said Roy.
According to Roy, this year was
a particularly grueling year for Rocco and Bernat as well as the many
other members of the foundation in
preparing the weekend, as the potential threat of a government shutdown
could have forced the ceremony to
drastically be altered or even canceled entirely.
“None of this would be possible without the support of the chief
and the Prudential Committee,” said
Rocco, who said that Roy has been
instrumental in assuring that she is
able to attend the weekend.
“I intend to be involved and continue to do this for as long as I can
be,” said Rocco.
MONSON — An ongoing drug
investigation recently ended with
the arrest of a Monson resident.
On Thursday, Oct. 8 at 2:30
p.m., officers of the Monson Police
Department, armed with a search
warrant, entered the apartment home
of 20-year-old Devron N. Trott at
192 Main St., Monson.
Acting on information obtained
through an investigation regarding
drug dealing in the vicinity of Dave
Grieve Park, police entered the
home and arrested Trott. According to Monson Police Chief Stephen Kozloski the investigation was
headed by Monson Police Officer
Kristen Tirado and lasted roughly
two weeks before enough evidence
was gathered to initiate the arrest.
After searching the apartment,
police discovered and seized approximately one pound of marijuana,
and five ounces of hashish and amphetamines. The police also seized
a set of scales, cellular phones, a
little over $600 in cash and a starter
pistol, which Trott claimed that he
carried as a way of protecting himself after being robbed on prior drug
transactions. Kozloski said the pistol did not function and was only
designed to look like a real pistol.
Trott has been charged with
possession of over one ounce of
marijuana, possession of a class D
substance with intent to distribute,
possession of a class C substance
with intent to distribute, and possession of a class B drug with intent to
distribute.
Trott was arraigned this past
Friday in Palmer District Court.

PALMER — Kyle Bechard of Troop 160
in Palmer performed his Eagle project on Aug.
15 and 16, which was the repainting and refurbishing of a number of fire hydrants throughout the Palmer Water District.
“I chose this project because there was a
fire about a half-mile from our house,” he said.
“The fire fighters had trouble finding the hydrant so they couldn’t put out the fire in time
to save the building.With the hydrants being
freshly painted the firefighters will have an
easier time finding the hydrants.”
He said that working on his Eagle project
took a lot of planning.
“I first had to meet with Mr. David Majka,
superintendent of the Palmer Water District
1 and we discussed my idea and he was able
to come up with a number of hydrants that he
would like painted and their locations,” said
Bechard. “Then the process of how the hydrants
should be refurbished began. Wire brushing all

Student math-letes to take on
WPI challenge
From sneakers to circuits
5K event raises needed
tech funds
Two local high
schools participating
By Douglas Farmer
Staff Writer
PALMER — Both the challenge and the cause of technology
in schools drew over 130 runners to
the streets of Thorndike and Bondsville recently in the second annual
Converse Middle School Trot for
Technology. The event raised about
$9,000 for the purchase of computer equipment in the middle school,
said CMS special education teacher
Claudia Messier, who organized the
event along with fellow CMS teacher Pat Hogan and former school
staff member Karyn Marciniec.
Though Messier said that she
would communicate with teachers about their needs before committing funds, last year the event
helped purchase laptops, document
readers and technology cars stored
in the school’s library.
She credited those who ran in
the 5K on Saturday, Oct. 3 as well
as those who stepped up in other
ways – such as local businesses who
sponsored the Trot for Technology
as well as contributed raffle prizes.
And though it rained in spurts
during the 5K race, it did not seem
to dampen the mood of those who
participated.
For example, Tara Minns of
Palmer, a teacher in Chicopee who
was educated in the Palmer Public
Schools, said rain does not deter her
from taking part in such events.
“Having a mist can be a good
thing when you’re getting heated
up during a race, although the wind
can get you,” she said.
Minns, the top female finisher
of the race with a time of 22:07, said
that as a teacher in she knows well
the value of technology in education. Her husband Ryan is a coach
at Converse Middle School.

Egg Drop, from page 1
Many of the students gave credit
to friends and family as they anxiously pried open packaging ranging
from foam and bubble wrap to wire
and tape.
Damon Drury’s egg survived for
the first few rounds after he encased
it within an old pillow he had at
home. Samantha Aitken said that her
mother helped her with the project.
“It’s her job to protect things,”
she said.
And one of the more ingenious
designs this season, many in the
crowd agreed, was an egg encased
in a plastic and wire contraption designed by fifth-grader Kathleen Day.
No matter how hard the teachers attempted to throw it to the pavement
outside the school, it bounced harmlessly.
“I saw this type of thing on YouTube,” said Day. “I added an extra
part, but it keeps the force away from
the egg.”
Both Peritz-Smith and Stetkiewicz said that no matter how many
times the Egg Drop is held, they are
always impressed with the ingenuity
of the students as they try to outdo
their classmates.
Of course, not all the eggs survived, as teachers directed students
to discard broken eggs into nearby
trash cans, and Messier used a broom
to sweep up many of the fragments
after the activity was over.
A large group of students
whose eggs remained unscrambled
throughout the ordeal assembled at
the entrance to the school for a photograph, as always.
The Egg Drop winners included from homeroom 109, Joel
Barnes; from homeroom 216, Jason
Cousineau, Madison Weeks, Corey
Miller, Hunter Skowyra and Mason
Table; from homeroom 201, Ashley
Bransky, Raymond Croteau, Jacob
Kotowski, Melissa Pereira and Tucker Sikes; from homeroom 217, Ethan
Beauchemin, Tyler Bolaske, Justyne
Chalue, Austin Lagimoniere, Victoria Sinigur, Kaylee Stark and Ava
Theoclis; from homeroom 218, Maria Copson, Kathleen Day, Taryn
Dejoinville and Julia Lanzillo; from
homeroom 202, Samantha Aitken,
Tasha Bucknam, Olivia DeSantis,
Vincent LaMadelaine, Seth Normoyle, Jessica Sychtysz and Riley
Szenda; and from homeroom 203,
Maegan Boucher, Zoe Desabrais,
Gwendolyn Duggan, Tristyn Guerin,
Aidan Hawk, Christopher Lawlor,
Sophie Libera, Noah Melnick, Brady
Stahelski and Peter Traugh.
Samantha Aitken credits her mother with helping keep her egg
safe.
Damon Drury used a pillow to protect his egg and smiles after it
makes it through the first drop.
Students frantically open the packages to see if their eggs survived the fall.
Alexandra Riley handles her package gingerly once she realizes
her egg has survived.
Ivy Peritz-Smith tosses one container out the window.
Claudia Messier sweeps up the aftermath…

Two nights later, they posted a 20 victory at Szot Park against the
Chicopee Pacers, who are Division 1 team. The Panthers finished
the week with an 8-0 home win
against the Easthampton Eagles,
last Thursday afternoon.
“The boys have really picked
up the intensity since our Frontier
game,” said Palmer head coach
Jon Remillard, following the non-
league match against Chicopee.
“Chicopee has a .500 record, but
they play in a very tough league.
They’re a big physical team, but
my players didn’t back down
against them.”
The Panthers entered this
week’s action with a 9-3 overall
record, which qualifies them for
the upcoming Western Mass. Division 3 tournament. They’re also
tied with Monson for third place in
the Holley Division standings with
a 2-2 record.
Palmer was scheduled to face
Holyoke, who’s another Division 1
team, at Legion Field on Tuesday
night.
“Playing against Division 1
teams is a little bit different than
playing against our league opponents,” Remillard said. “The Division 1 teams have a lot more big-
ger and physical players.”
Palmer sophomore goalkeeper
Jake Riel, who made three saves
against Chicopee, has posted five
shutouts in the first twelve games
of the regular season.
“Jake has been playing a lot
more aggressively and he’s talking
more back there, which is something that I’ve been waiting for
him to do,” Remillard said. “He’s
only a sophomore and he’s getting
a little bit better in every game that
he plays. The defense has also been
playing very well and there’s a lot
of senior leadership back there.”
The members of the Panthers
defensive unit are senior Jorge
Soares, senior Michael Budaji,
junior Joe Marek, junior Austin
Smith and senior Rudy Marek.

PALMER - Close games were
on the menu for the Palmer field
hockey team all last week.
Unfortunately for the Lady Panthers, though, they only came out on
the winning end in one of them.
That victory was a 2-1 contest
over Westfield at the Columbus Day
Weekend Tournament at Smith College in Northampton.
Jasmine McCord and Elizabeth
Serra had the goals for Palmer, while
goalie Kelsey Kokosa finished with
10 saves.
Palmer also lost to Smith Academy in that same tournament, 2-1.
Serra scored in the second half
for Palmer.
Kokosa finished with 18 saves.
Kokosa also had 23 saves in
a 1-0 loss to Frontier earlier in the
week.

Last-second field goal
beats Palmer

Sports Correspondent
PALMER - The final outcome
of the high school football game between cross-town rivals Pathfinder
and Palmer wasn’t decided until the
final play of the fourth quarter.
With the score tied 14-14, Pathfinder junior Andrew Roman made
a 36-yard field goal giving his team
a thrilling 17-14 victory in a TriCounty League game played at Legion Field, last Friday night.
“This was just a great high school
football game and you couldn’t ask
for anything more,” said Pathfinder
head coach Chris Pope. “If we had
missed the field goal attempt, the
game would’ve gone into overtime
and that’s not the type of team that I
wanted to face in overtime.”
The last-second victory improved the Pioneers overall and
league record to 4-1. They were
shutout at McCann Tech the previous week.
“The loss last week against McCann Tech made us a tougher football team,” Pope added. “The final
score in that game was 20-0, but I
thought it was much closer than that
in my opinion. This was definitely a
must-win game for us.”
The last second loss against the
Pioneers snapped the Panthers twogame winning streak and evened
their overall and league record at 22.
“We got behind early in the
game, but we just battled back,” said
Palmer head coach Peter Farr. “My
kids played very hard and it was a
very good football game tonight.”
The Pioneers started the final
drive of the game at midfield following a fumble recovery by junior Anthony Robitaille.

Mustangs
grab three points
CHICOPEE - The Monson
girls soccer team rallied from a 21 deficit to earn a point in a 2-2
tie with Chicopee at Szot Park last
week.
It looked for a moment as if
the Monson girls were going to
pull off a one-goal win over Chicopee when Bryanna Murphy’s
shot on goal looked for a moment that it had crossed the goal
line, but the officials ruled that the
ball had bounced off the football
crossbar above the net and came
back down and not hit the soccer
crossbar as some had thought.
Megan McGuill and Murphy
each had a goal for the Lady Mustangs. Allyson Jarvis and Haley
Richard each had an assist.
Keeper Emily Garon finished
with two saves.
With only two games on the
schedule, the Monson boys soccer
team was able to grab three out of
a possible four points.
Monson pulled out a 2-0 win
over Athol, and settled for a 1-1
tie with Monument Mountain.
Connor Hicks and Kyle
Monaghan each had a goal and
an assist in the first half against
Athol.
Keeper Mike Tranghese had
no saves, but was credited with the
shutout victory.
Monaghan also had the team’s
lone goal in a 1-1 tie with Monument. Peter Miller picked up an
assist.
Tranghese finished with four
saves.
Pathfinder
splits matches
The Pathfinder girls and boys
soccer teams had three matches
combined last week, and the girls
were able to pull out a victory in
both, while the boys fell to McCann Tech.
In the 5-2 win over Westfield
Tech, Tiffany Papesh finished with
a hat trick and an assist for four
points to lead Pathfinder. Bethany
Fricke added two goals. while
Brittany Fricke and Emily Lopes
each had an assist.
CONGRATULATIONS

Maddison Weldon finished
with seven saves.
In the 6-0 win over St. Mary,
Amber Duby and Papesh each had
two goals. Bethany Fricke and
Lopes had a goal apiece.
Teddy King had a goal for
the boys in a 6-1 loss to McCann
Tech. Aaron Gilman picked up an
assist.

“Obviously, you can’t lose a
game if you don’t allow a goal,”
Remillard added. “We’ve scored
at least one goal in every game
this season.”
Riel, who’s a second-year
starter, also posted a 2-0 shutout
victory against Chicopee at Legion
Field a year ago. He made 11 saves
in that contest.
The Panthers took a 1-0 lead
in last week’s match against the
Pacers during the 14th minute of
the opening half.
Senior forward Joao Soares
made a crossing pass to junior forward Matt Remillard in the center
of the field. Remillard then dribbled the ball towards the goal before firing a shot into the left corner past Pacers senior goalkeeper
Josh Rogowski (nine saves) for his
seventh goal of the season.
“That was a very nice goal by
Matt,” coach
Remillard
said. “Joao
made
a
great pass to
him and he

took a quick shot, which was the
key. He was able to get a good shot
off.”
Late in the first half, Joao
Soares, who leads the Panthers
with 22 goals, lined a shot from
the left side, but Rogowski made
the save.
It also looked like Matt Remillard had scored another goal a
minute later, but he was offsides on
the play.
The score remained 1-0 until
the 76th minute when Joao Soares
scored a goal following a free
kick.
Soares lined a low shot that
went into the right corner.

“I don’t think their goalie saw
the ball until it went in,” coach Remillard said. “He couldn’t see it
thru the wall. There were a lot of
bodies in the box and it would’ve
been a hard shot for any goalie to
save.”
The following afternoon,
Soares, Remillard, and freshman
midfielder Diego Leecock scored
two goals each against Easthampton. Jorge Soares and sophomore
midfielder Jakob Chartier added
the other two goals.
The Panthers will be looking
for a few more shutout victories
during the final two weeks of the
regular season.

PIONEERS, from page 11
Senior running back Aaron Rocheleau carried the ball four times and
sophomore running back Keanon Decker had two carries, which moved the ball
down to the 23-yard line with a minute
left in regulation. Then Roman, who’s
the Pioneers starting quarterback, kept it
himself for the next three plays, which
placed the ball at the 13 with 8 seconds
showing on the scoreboard clock.
The Pioneers coaching staff decided to try a 30-yard field goal on a third
down play instead of waiting for fourth
down, which turned out to be a very
smart decision. The snap from the center
was mishandled by junior Marcus Malone, who’s the holder, but he was able to
recover the ball and called timeout with
2 seconds remaining on the scoreboard
clock.
“We were prepared if something
unexpected happened on that play,” Roman said. “Marcus just fell on the ball
and called timeout right away. I knew
that I could still make the field goal from
that distance because I had made a 42yarder earlier in the season.”
Roman’s kick sailed high inside the
left upright, giving the Pioneers a threepoint victory. Pathfinder defeated Palmer, 28-0, on the same field two years, but
the Panthers came out on top last year at
St. Joe’s field, 27-9.
“This was my last high school football game on this field,” Roman said.
“It’s a victory that I’ll always remember.”
Roman also made a 30-yard field
goal attempt with 3.9 seconds remaining in regulation giving his team a hard
fought 3-0 road victory against Belchertown in the annual Thanksgiving Day
game last November.
“Andrew is a very talented football
player,” Pope said. “He’s also a pitcher
on the baseball team, so he knows how
to handle the pressure very well. He’s a
very coachable kid.”
Palmer senior Anthony Allard recovered a fumble on the Pioneers opening drive of the game, but the Panthers
were unable to pick-up a first down and
they were forced to punt.
With 3:53 left in the first quarter,
Roman completed the six play scoring
drive, which covered 44 yards, by throwing a 6-yard touchdown
pass to Malone. Roman
added the extra point
making the score 7-0.
The Panthers were
forced to punt again on
their next offensive series.
Starting from his
own 44, the duo of Rocheleau and Decker
took turns running the
ball before Rocheleau
capped off the drive
with a 3-yard run up
the middle into the end
zone. Roman added the
PAT, which increased
Pathfinder’s lead to 140.
Rocheleau led the Pioneers rushing attack with 76 yards on 13 carries.
Roman gained 70 yards on 11 carries,
while Decker finished the game with 57
yards on 11 carries.
The Panthers sliced the deficit in
half with 22 seconds left in the first half
when junior quarterback Ryan McCarthy completed a 7-yard TD pass to sophomore running back Kyle Mastalerz,
who dove into the end zone.
The key play of the nine play scoring drive that covered 60 yards was a
34-yard pass from McCarthy (7-for-13
for 80 yards) to junior Trevor Blackburn
who made the catch at the 2-yard line
between two defenders
McCarthy added the extra point
making the halftime score 14-7.
“When we were trailing 14-0, we
could’ve easily packed it in and we
could’ve been down 28-0,” Farr said.
“We scored a touchdown late in the first
half and had a great drive at the start of
the third quarter. I’m pleased with the
way that we played tonight.”
McCarthy finished the contest with
a game-high 93 rushing yards on 12 carries.
The Panthers tied the score on the
opening series of the second half when
McCarthy threw a 7-yard TD pass to
freshman tight end Dylan Tenczar. McCarthy made another extra point.
McCarthy intercepted a pass late in
the third quarter, but neither team was
able to score until Roman made the
game-winning field goal with no time
showing on the scoreboard clock.
While Roman and his teammates
walked off Legion Field following the
game feeling very good, McCarthy and
his teammates are hoping to have the
same feeling over at St. Joe’s Field next
year.
Pathfinder will be looking for another victory in a home game against
Pioneer Valley on Friday night, while
Palmer will be looking to get back into
the win column when they play at Smith
Voke.

By Wyatt Aloisio
Staff Writer
Koran’s Farm and Gift Shop located at 160 East Hill Road in Monson recently celebrated its 100th anniversary of being a familyowned and operated farm.
“We had decided a long time ago
that in order to thrive you needed diversity and I think that’s really what
has kept us going and made us into
what we are today.”
In 1988, after selling excess
squash grown by Shelia from their
garden on a cart in front of the farm,
the family began to turn their attention to a more agricultural effort
which included planting and growing Christmas trees for future sales.
Renovating Sam’s snowmobile shop,
the family opened a bigger farm
stand and began to sell vegetables
including Sam’s famous sweet corn
that has become a staple in many
Monson families during the summer
months. Adding on a greenhouse in
1995 and two more in 2000 to sell
plants, Sheila also began the gift
shop which she said she runs with
great effort and care.
While much of the produce sold
in the stand is grown there at the
farm the Korans also feature products from several other local vendors
in the area such as apples and cider
from Breezelands Orchards in Warren.
In addition the farm stand being
open for regular business this past
Sunday, visitors were also welcomed
with a variety of other celebratory attractions brought in for the occasion.
Refreshments were served along
with a craft area for the kids. Blue
Star Equiculture, a draft horse sanctuary and organic farm in Palmer, offered horse-drawn carriage rides.
Among those in attendance at
the celebration included Monson
Town Administrator Evan Brassard and town
Selectman
Ed
Harris. Also there
was state Sen.
Anne Gobi (D-

(D-Longmeadow), who presented
the Koran family with citations and
recognitions from the Legislature for
achieving the milestone anniversary.
A citation from Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources
Chairman John Lebeaux was also
given to them.
“A hundred years to be in
business is a heck of a long time!”
said Gobi when presenting the Koran family with official citations.
“You’ve sustained a lot of people in
the community over the years and
we thank you for that and all of your
hard work.”
“This is the fun stuff for us when
we get to come out here to celebrate
our neighbors and our constituents
here in the community being recognized for their hard work,” said
Ashe. “Congratulations to 100 years
and we wish you a hundred more.”
Though Sheila and Sam acknowledged they have slowed down
recently, they said they are far from
done and have continued to focus
their efforts on making the farm a
prosperous and continuous agricultural presence within the area.
Three years ago, they welcomed
the newest addition in conjunction
with the farm, as Tree House Brewery opened, whose co-owner and
founder Damien Goudreau is married to their youngest daughter Kimberly. The members of the Koran
family, both immediate and extended, continue to support and work to
make the land as productive as possible with even the fifth generation,
Damien and Kimberly’s 1-year-old
daughter Tessa, beginning to take up
the family legacy.
“She’s already been busy helping her grandfather with bagging the
corn,” said Sheila.

MONSON — For those residing within the Monson community,
Koran’s Farm and Gift Shop located
on East Hill Road has always been
a pillar of the economy providing a
variety of produce and farm services.
And this past Sunday, the business
held a public celebration of its 100th
anniversary for those in town and
beyond.
On Sunday, Oct. 11 the 220-acre
farm celebrated it’s centennial as a
family owned and operated business.
Dozens of friends, family, and members of the local community came
out on the clear fall day to honor the
occasion in an afternoon of fun and
reflection.
“It’s really a wonderful occasion for us today,” said Sheila Koran. “We’re incredibly happy that
so many people could come out and
join us. We wouldn’t be where we
are without the support of our family
and the community.”
Shelia and Sam are the third
generation in the Koran family to
own and operate the farm, which was
founded by Samuel’s grandparents,
Samuel and Anna, who migrated
from Europe and began the business
as a small dairy farm that produced
hay and corn to feed the cows as well
as a family garden. With a growing
herd, the family began to bottle milk
in 1925 and made home deliveries. Under the moniker of Old Oak
Farm, a large red dairy and hay barn
was built which still stands on the
property today as a testament to the
farm’s longevity.
Sam Jr., the current owner, began his own herd of cows in 1962 at
the age of 20 and continued to help
his father and uncle Joe to operate Koran Bros. Dairy well into the
1970s while also operating Sam’s
Snowmobiles Sales and Services.
With Sam’s marriage to Sheila in
1964 and eventual birth of their three
daughters Denise, Lisa, and Kimberly, the late 1970s and early 1980s
marked a turning point for the farm
as they began to diversify and took
on new operations.
“There was always plenty of
work to be had,” said Sheila Koran.

Editor’s note: The following is

at the Hampden County Registry of
Deeds for Palmer and Monson from
Oct. 6, 2015 to Oct. 12, 2015.
By Wyatt Aloisio
Staff Writer
PALMER — Local hobbyists
now need not look any further than
North Main Street in Palmer to
build up their collections with the
recent opening of W&R Collectables Unlimited.
The shop, which opened officially to the public Thursday, Oct.
1, is the namesake of owners (and
brothers) Wayne and Randy Schofield, who have spent years creating a rounded stock of unique and
curious items appealing to any collector, especially for that of sports.
Randy, a retired long-time employee of Friendly Ice Cream Corporation, and Wayne, who works
for the Massachusetts Department
of Transportation, have been collectors themselves for many years
buying and selling items through
other local shops and flea markets.
After purchasing some larger collections and taking cues and ideas
from other similar shops, the brothers purchased the vacant space in
downtown Palmer to set up shop.
“The regular person who
comes in is going to look around
and say ‘Wow, I can’t believe that
you have this or have that!’” said
Wayne. “We’re trying to bring in a
little bit of everything and see what
people want the most.”
For a sports fan, W&R is offering row after row of everything
from sports jerseys, figurines,

plates, sports cards and more. Behind the counter a display of boxed
die-cast NASCAR figures lead
down the far wall into the back area
of the store where an assortment of
other items await, including table
displays full of M&M and Coca
Cola paraphernalia. Several pieces
of autographed memorabilia can
also be seen throughout the store.
According to Randy, the store’s
most popular selling item to date is
the numerous model car kits that
they sell as well as an entire wall
of First Gear die-cast antique cars.
“It’s a project that we’ve been
planning to do for several years
now,” said Randy. “We’re hoping to
be a friendly shop that people can
come to and find just what they’re
looking for or where we can help
them find it.”
“When the people are happy,
we’re happy,” said Wayne in response.
The brothers aim to continue
expanding the business, drawing
in eager collectors of all ages from
Palmer and beyond. They have no
plans to stop with just sports as
they are looking into bringing in
different types of trading cards to
appeal to younger crowds as well.
On Saturday, Oct. 17, W&R
Collectables will be hosting their
grand opening celebration for the
public, offering special giveaways
for those who visit the store.
W&R Collectables Unlimited
is located at 1426 North Main St.
in Palmer. For more information,
call 413-289-9683.
REGION — North Brookfield
Savings Bank, which has always
placed high importance on working
closely with local communities, is
once again supporting families in
need with its annual Fall Harvest
Food Drive.
During the drive, taking place
this month, residents are encouraged to drop off non-perishable
food items, toiletries and paper
goods at any North Brookfield
Savings Bank branch. Drop-off locations include: North Brookfield
branch at 9 Gilbert St.; East Brookfield branch at 100 West Main St.;
West Brookfield branch at 128 West
Main St.; Ware branch at 40 Main
St.; Belchertown branch at 4 Daniel Shays Highway; Palmer branch
at 1051 Thorndike St.; and Three
Rivers branch at 2060 Main St.
NBSB’s goal is to collect at
least 3,500 items total. In addition,
for every item collected, the bank
will contribute $1, for a total of up
to $3,500, to help fund the pantries’
operations.
“The holiday season is all
about giving back, especially to
families in need. We are glad to
partner with local food pantries to
ensure we do our part,” said NBSB
President and CEO Donna Boulanger. “We are always humbled
by the generosity displayed by our
customers, employees, friends and
neighbors and we are excited to
see what this year’s food drive will
bring.”

Scout, from page 1
the property of overgrown brush and
debris and building a new picnic area
for the public to enjoy.
The cleanup effort was spearheaded by troop member and scout
Alexander Adamsky who took on
the restoration of the area as part of
his Eagle Scout project in the community.
“This was really just an all
around fun project for us,” said Adamsky. “I really enjoy being able to
take land like this that needs some
cleaning an improvement and making it something great. It’s really all
about the benefit to the public and
for other people to be able to come
out and enjoy it.”
Members of the troop gathered
at Adamsky’s house last weekend
where together they built the picnic
table now located at the site.
Frohloff Farm is owned and
operated by the East Quabbin Land
Trust (EQLT), a community-based
organization which began in 1994.
The land trust promotes the conservation and protection of local sites
including woodlands, farms, fields,
and aquatic areas within the region.
After the organization reached out to
Troop 161 last year, Adamsky took
on the task of rejuvenating the site as
part of his community service project, required for his Eagle Rank.
Beginning at 7:30 a.m. under
clear skies and mild temperatures,
the scouts worked to clear away the
waist-high grass and reeds that obstructed the view of the secluded
lake located on the farm’s property.
The crew worked into the afternoon,
hauling branches away into a neighboring field and cleaning up several
overgrown trees on site and removing invasive brush with tools and
equipment.
Scoutmaster Kevin McClure
was there with his scouts along with
Palmer Boy Scout Troop 161 Scoutmaster Kevin McClure takes a
chainsaw to the root of an invasive bush that was cleared away
from the lakeside area at Frohloff Farm.
Troop 164 Scoutmaster Bill Mullen
who also came out to help with the
project.
“You get these guys together
and it is amazing just what they can
accomplish together,” said Mullen.
“Every single time they go and
do something and I think that this is
the best work that they can possibly
do they go and amaze me again every single time,” said McClure.
McClure noted that Adamsky
had worked especially hard on the
project, pouring an incomparable
amount of energy into making it happen and that he was proud to see that
the young scout was able to bring the
project to fruition.
Frohloff Farm is part of a 95acre property located in northern
Ware along the Ware River that was
purchased by the East Quabbin Land
Trust in 2010. The site features a
multitude of walking trails that are
open to the public and EQLT has
also worked to keep the original
barn and agricultural property on the
site active to help promote a healthy
plant and wildlife habitat for the region. The farm, which is leased out
by the trust, raises several small livestock including chickens, pigs, and
goats.
Along with members of the
troop, several volunteers from EQLT
where also there that day helping to
lend a hand to the scouts in clearing
the site.
“We’re always looking for ways
such as this to engage the youth in
our area,” said East Quabbin Land
Trust Executive Director Cynthia
Henshaw at the cleanup and remarked that the Eagle Scout project
served as a great opportunity to connect with the troop and greatly benefited both organizations.
According to Henshaw, the pri-
Celebrating 40 Years of Dance
Scouts from Palmer Troop
161 haul away branches
and debris as they clear a
new lakeside picnic area.
mary purpose of clearing the area
and the eventual controlled burn that
will be performed at the farm in the
springtime is to remove unwanted
and invasive species of plants from
the land to promote healthier growth
and improve the wildlife habitat for
native plants and animals as well as
to create a more public-friendly recreation area.
“We want the public to not
only know that is place is here but
to make it a place that they want to
come back to repeatedly to visit and
enjoy,” said Henshaw. “When spots
like this get overgrown it’s hard to
remember what the area looked like
originally. What they (Troop 161)
have accomplished today is just really terrific and even more than I had
expected it to be.”
Scout Alexander Adamsky rakes the lakeside of dead grass exposing the healthy green grass underneath. The young Scout
took on the effort to clear the dilapidated spot for the East Quabbin Land Trust as part of his Eagle Scout Project.
