City mourns

HOLYOKE - More
than 900 people
turned out for the
funeral Mass of Robert
F. “Bobby” Glidden
held at St. Jerome
Church on May 10.
Glidden died unexpectedly May 5 at
Brigham and Women’s
Hospital in Boston.
His death came two Turley Publications file photo
days before a tribute Bobby Glidden
planned at the Boys & Girls Club of
Greater Holyoke to recognize Glidden’s
dedication to Holyoke’s youth. The 71year-old Glidden, athletic director at the
club, was instrumental in organizing
many sports activities around the city.
“That was one of the largest funerals
ever in Holyoke,” said John “Par” Barrett,
a childhood pal of Glidden. “Bobby was
a down-to-earth guy who would do anything for you. He helped get people jobs,

HOLYOKE - On Saturday, May 8, the
Holyoke Health Center and Holyoke
Youth Task Force sponsored a two-mile
walk-a-thon, which raised awareness
about underage drinking and social hosting laws.
The walk-a-thon began at Heritage
State Park and followed a route through-
out downtown, as teens and adults
voiced their concerns about the perils of
underage drinking and the legal ramifications for hosts who ser ve alcohol to
minors.
Under Massachusetts social hosting
laws, with the national drinking age set at
21 years old, teens and adults who serve
alcohol to minors in their homes risk civil
and criminal penalties. If a minor were to
become intoxicated and left a host’s
home, and if an accident or other incident were to occur, the host leaves him or
herself open to lawsuits and other legal
consequences.
Rebecca Masters, the coordinator of
the Holyoke Youth Task Force, said studies have shown that teens procure most
of their alcohol not from older adults, but
from at-age youth, particularly at house
parties. “We really wanted people to

Chicopee High hosts Relay for Life of Greater Chicopee/Holyoke
By Kathleen Mitchell
Turley Publications Staff Writer
CHICOPEE – The American Cancer
Society’s [ACS] 11th annual Relay for Life
of Greater Chicopee/Holyoke hopes to
raise $80,000 during this weekend’s relay.
The event is being staged at Chicopee
Comprehensive High School and begins
Friday, May 14 at 6 p.m. and ends at
noon on Saturday.
A kick-off event was held at the high
school on Tuesday.
“We want people to know it’s not late
to participate, especially if they are cancer
survivors,” said Sara Pieczarka, community executive for development for the ACS.
“We want them to come and enjoy the
reception and walk the first survivor lap at
6 p.m.”
Anyone who is interested is invited to
attend the overnight event, which will be
held rain or shine. More than 700 walkers
have signed up from Chicopee, Holyoke
and the surrounding communities.
During the Relay, teams of people take
turns walking or running around a track
or path all night long. Teams are encouraged to camp out in tents and enjoy
music, food and camaraderie.
This year’s goal is to raise $80,000 and
at Tuesday’s kick-off, more than $20,000
had already been turned in.
She expressed gratitude to Chicopee
officials. “This is the first year we have
held this outside of Holyoke and we are
very happy that Chicopee public schools
decided to support the event and provided Comprehensive High school for our
use,” she said.
Mayor Michael Bissonnette, who is a
cancer survivor, said it is a nice recognition to have the annual Relay at the high
school. “Everyone from students to staff
have stepped up,” he said.
He will kick off the event Friday
evening. “I will be walking with the cancer
survivors,” and I expect to be here most
of the night,” he said.
“The Relay is important as every step
taken is a step closer to the cure. It really

Care Center students focus on education with visit to MHC
By Dennis P. Hohenberger
Turley Correspondent
SOUTH HADLEY - A group of students from the Care Center of Holyoke, a
GED and college preparatory program for
pregnant and parenting teens, visited
Mount Holyoke College [MHC] April 30.
With the assistance of Christine
DeRunk, lab director of the physics
department, and MHC students, the
young women performed optical experiments in the Carr Laboratory and later
toured the campus.
According to Care Center figures, 70 to
85 percent of the young moms pursue a
college degree after they obtain their GED.
The day provided a glimpse into campus
life and into the world of academia.
DeRunk had the students form small
teams as MHC students guided them
through a series of experiments. Each
team opened a large, white box that contained a long track, or an optics bench.
The portable bench measured from zero
to 100.
The students attached a light box to
left side of the bench, while a lens was
positioned in the middle. A screen was
then fitted at the 100 mark, or to the right
of the slide. The students measured the
objects distance, or the light box to the
lens, and then from the image distance, or
the lens to the screen.
With the lab’s blinds nearly closed, the
budding scientists aimed the light box
and lens at outside objects, such as trees,
buildings or students studying nearby.
When the lenses were adjusted, objects
appeared on the screens. The experiment
determined the focal length of a convergence lens.
Alan Bloomgarden, the coordinator of
the Community Based Learning Program
at MHC, said campus outreach explores
issues such as social change, education
and community development.
“In doing so, [the students’] aim is to
provide some service to the community
organizations they work with,” he said.
He said some of the MHC students
work in local schools, including the Care
Center, on science-related programs. The
visit to the lab stemmed from that outreach. He added that the Care Center provides opportunities to higher education
and advancement for young women who
face challenges in their lives.

know the law - that it’s illegal to purchase
alcohol or provide alcohol for someone
underage.” she said.
Masters said parents should secure
and lock up alcohol and ask where their
children are going. She said parents
should require their children to “checkin” with them if they plan on going to a
party or elsewhere. “You want to make
sure that your youth are staying safe,” she
said.
When she spoke to parents about how
youth obtain alcohol, parents thought it
was other parents who purchased it. She
then asked the parents how many of them
were procuring alcohol for minors.
Masters said it was less than 50 percent.
“It was over 90 percent of parents that
thought other parents who were doing
it,” she said. Masters, though, was
pleased that most parents were aware of
social hosting laws.
Andrew Espinosa, 17, who walked on
Saturday, said he sees other youth drinking at parties, but does not drink alcohol
himself. “I have fun and I don’t drink. I
laugh at them because they’re making
fools of themselves,” he said.
He said talk by teens of drinking and
getting intoxicated are topics he often
hears at his school. Espinosa does not
worry about what others think of him and
remains focused on his goals.
He wants parents to become more

shows Tania Caraballo, a student in the GED program at the Care Center in Holyoke,
proper use of an optics bench.
“This partnership that we have with
the Care Center, I think, is a means of
enabling our students to give back,” he
said. “Many of the students who do community service themselves, came from
communities that were challenged or they
themselves felt that they want to give back
some aspect of gratitude.”
She said the students were both surprised and pleased that the optic benches
will be on loan to the Care Center for a
few months.
“They had such a good time,” DeRunk
said. “There were two girls in particular
who commented, ‘This is hard, but I like
this, I like this. It makes me think.’”
For the last month or so, DeRunk had
been in contact with the Care Center to
arrange the visit.
“The Care Center is an amazing place,”
she said. “It seems that if there’s a
resource a particular student needs, they
will find a way to make it happen.”
Laelinoshka Figureoa, who recently
joined the GED program, said she enjoyed
both the lab experiments and her time at
MHC.
“The toughest part was measuring the
distance from the screen to the lens,” she
aware of where their children are, and
said he was raised in a strict household
where he had to be home from school at
certain time.
“Other parents don’t know where their
kids are. They [youth] could be doing
drugs or other things,” he said. The senior at Holyoke High School plans on
studying art at Westfield State College in
the fall.
Arelies Marquez, a parent raising three
teenagers, said she and her children are
aware of social hosting laws. She said the
walk-a-thon provides examples for her
children that there are other activities to
do besides drinking.
Marquez, a mentor with the Holyoke
Health Center, said she keeps her children
busy with community service. “That way,
I keep them busy and they help society
and learn about everything in life,” she
said.
After the walk, organizers raffled off
sweatshirts and season passes to Six
Flags.

said. “It was a little hard, but I found it, I
figured it out.”
Though she does not plan a career in
science, she has her sights set on becoming a nurse. Her son, Angel, is 7 months
old.
“I really want to be a nurse because I
want to take care of my son,” she said.
Alyssa Goncalves, a junior at MHC
who assisted the Care Center students,
said it was important college students get
involved in the community.
“We have so many facilities here at the
college,” she said. “It’s an excuse to do
research and have labs. So why not get
involved in the community and either
bring people here to use the facility or go
out and do some teaching?”
The physics major said the Care Center
students appeared focused and enthusiastic when they conducted their experiments.
“Some of them are really intense on
the equipment and it’s really cool,” said
Goncalves, who plans on volunteering
more in the community. “I’d like to do
more outreach, teaching, showing what I
like most about physics and why I’m a
physics major.”
Anna Rodriguez, the education director
at the Care Center, said pursing a college
degree is a critical component of the GED
program. She said a college degree is a
“ticket out of poverty.”
“For many of them, they’ve never seen
themselves as college students,” she said.
“We like to expose them to college activities because the more they see themselves
in college, the more they see themselves
in college.”
She wants to dispel the myth that
women are not inclined to the sciences.
Her goal is to break down barriers that
prevent women from pursuing college
degrees or careers in the sciences or math.
Rodriguez said the interaction between
her organization and MHC students is
key, whether that interaction occurs in the
lab or in Care Center classrooms.
“They [MHC students] are not that
much older than the Care Center students,” she said. “Our students can see
that college is a possibility for them and
that these students are not that different
from them.”

Teen mothers publish
poetry collection
HOLYOKE - Who said young mothers can’t succeed? Statistics can often tell a grim story — but the
young mothers of The Care Center, a GED program
for pregnant and parenting teens, live a more optimistic narrative, as they ably and eagerly demonstrate in the latest issue of their literary journal,
Nautilus II.
In this year’s journal, now in its eighth volume,
the young women of The Care Center express their
feelings and their truths in poetry and art. This book
shows that anything is possible, no matter how
young you are, or how much people might bring
you down,” said Natalie Willis, a member of the
editorial board.
A reading celebrating the publication of Nautilus
II, vol. 8 will take place Thursday, June 24, 10:30
a.m. at the Odyssey Bookshop in South Hadley. The
public is invited to attend, and books will be available for sale.
Nautilus II is produced by a student-run editorial
board whose members select poems and edit them
for publication.
The editors hope that readers will better understand what teen mothers face, and what they are
capable of. The poems in this year’s edition describe
everything from falling in love to telling one’s parents they are pregnant, from losing family members
to creating new lives for themselves and their children. The writing and artwork in this book are both
testaments to the determination of these students
who, through it all, show up at school each day to
get their education and improve their lives.

HOLYOKE - On April 30, William R. Peck School students celebrated the successful completion of the Peck
Energy Patrol’s “Project F.R.E.E.” or Facilitating
Responsive Energy Empowerment.
Under the guidance of Sarah Vasquez, a senior at
Mount Holyoke College, honor students in grades four
through eight conducted a top-to-bottom energy audit of
the school. The audit not only revealed energy being
wasted, but highlighted areas for potential savings.
With the help of staff, teachers, custodians and the
assistance from local energy suppliers, the students
scoured the school for lights turned on in empty rooms,
energy sucking machines, drafty doors and windows and
phantom energy usage.
The students’ use of scientific methods for data collection and in assessing their findings promoted the use
of their language, math, science and critical thinking
skills.
Vasquez started the project through her
Environmental Ethics course and the college’s
Community Based Learning program. She said the city of
Holyoke is engaged in green initiatives, which involves
economic, environmental and community sustainability.
The school-wide energy audit lasted from late
February to April, and consisted of classroom surveys,
meetings to discuss findings and an energy scavenger
hunt.
Holyoke Gas & Electric donated compact florescent
light bulbs and a watt meter, which measures energy
usage of CFL and incandescent lights.
Vasquez awarded each student a certificate and a
Project F.R.E.E. t-shirt. The t-shirts were designed and
made by students at Dean Tech.
The audit revealed that in the lower school, laptops,
televisions, DVD players, fans, projectors and the 26 CFL
lights that are in classrooms are normally turned off when
not in use. But lights in classrooms and other areas of the
school are not controlled by motion sensors.
When classrooms are in use, some rooms have all the
lights turned on, while in other classrooms, some of the
lights are turned off. By simply turning off a few lights in
the classrooms, savings can be generated. The energy
patrol also took temperature readings throughout the
school, which showed that heat escaped through poorly
insulated windows and doors.
In the middle school, monitors and other machines
were left on in classrooms and other areas. The temperature readings were about the same, as students reported
windows were left open when the heat was on.
Vasquez said the energy scavenger hunt revealed hallway doors propped open, spaces between outside doors,
a window that was opened when the heat was on, lights
turned on in unoccupied copier rooms and classrooms
and offices with computer monitors still running.
She said more than $300,000 is spent each year on
energy costs, but significant savings could be realized
through simple steps, such as turning off lights, blocking
drafts and other means.
Kody Guedes, an eighth grader, said he was reluctant
to join the energy patrol, but after the initial meeting he
became hooked. He was surprised by the amount of
energy wasted in the school. “We saw big gaps in doors
and there was a whole bunch of gaps in the windows,”
he said.
Guedes and his mother took steps at home to seal up
drafty doorways and to conserve energy elsewhere.
“We’re saving energy by keeping the windows open
and not using our air conditioner,” he said.
Vasquez said she put a quote on the energy patrol’s
website, which says, “Student apathy is often the result
of not believing or feeling that they can exercise agency
and make a difference.”

Opinion Commentary
School students
deserve a bullyfree educational
environment
The Issue: New anti-bullying law has some flaws, but it
is a start.
Our Response: School districts must get tough on bullies.
F
inally, Massachusetts has joined the list of states
where anti-bullying laws have been enacted to
protect our students from those classmates
whose behavior may cause them emotional or bodily
harm. While it is devastating that the impetus for the
legislation was the suicides of two area schoolchildren,
15-year-old Phoebe Prince of South Hadley and 11year-old Carl L. Walker-Hoover of Springfield, many
other tragedies may be prevented if the law is taken
seriously.
While the new law offers school districts and their
administrators a blueprint for the development and
implementation of an effective plan, there are two
ingredients that are conspicuous by their absence. Yes,
the law describes the penalties a bully will face when
they run afoul of the law. Still, there is no provision to
go after school district employees- whether administrators, teachers, school bus drivers and so forth - who
knowingly fail to report instances of bullying.
In addition, the law creates a seven-person commission charged with the responsibility to review the
Mass. General Laws and determine if they need to be
“amended in order to address bullying and cyber-bullying” and to “investigate parental responsibility and
liability for bullying and cyber-bullying.” Glaringly,
there is no parental representative on that commission.
Regardless of these omissions, which the legislature
can correct in the future, the Massachusetts anti-bullying law is a long overdue step in the right direction.
Now, the challenge is for school districts to bring their
policy into compliance with the state or to improve
upon the Massachusetts blueprint. Our students
deserve a bully-free environment as they take advantage of their learning experiences.

Your turn
Holyoke needs more Bobby Gliddens
R
obert Francis Glidden was a
w o r r y- w a r t . A s t h e t i m e
neared for the May 7 tribute
where he was to be the guest of
honor at the Boys and Girls Club
of Greater Holyoke, not a day past
without Bobby asking, “Do you
think anyone will come?” Sadly,
God had other plans for our friend
because He called Bobby home
two days before the big event.
Although his health had been failing for about a year, Bobby’s death
was sudden and unexpected.
As it turned out, Bobby needn’t
have worried about the attendance
for the event where his contributions to youth sports and other
programs would be recognized.
Between the wake held at Barr y
Fa r r e l l Fu n e r a l H o m e a n d t h e
funeral Mass at St. Jerome Church,
well over 1,200 persons turned out
to say so -long and to tell one
Bobby Glidden story after another.
At the wake, there was a steady
stream of well-wishers, some of
whom waited in line for an hour
and many told how Bobby helped
them land a job or get into college
or did some other act that helped
improve their well-being. At the
church, Hampden Street had to be
b l o c ke d o f f b e t w e e n E l m a n d
Chestnut Streets to accommodate
the funeral procession. Even Msgr.
David Joyce, Mass celebrant, commented, “It’s rare to see a church
this filled. It’s a tribute to the person Bobby Glidden was.”
Bobby was a fierce competitor –
in sports and in life. His brother
Fr e d s h a r e d a s t o r y. “O n e
Thanksgiving, Bobby challenged
Chuckie (one of Fred’s sons) to a
o n e - o n - o n e b a s ke t b a l l g a m e .
Observations
Daniel C. Boyle
W h e n d i n n e r w a s r e a d y, t h e y
refused to come inside. I don’t
know if one was winning more
games or if one win led to another
challenge.
But, dinner was
delayed an hour and a half and the
c o o k s w e r e n’ t h a p p y. ” Fr e d ’ s
other son, David, who affectionately called Bobby Uncle Boob said,
“He coached my basketball team
and sent me into play. My shooting was hot and I hit four straight
b a s ke t s . U n c l e B o o b c a l l e d a
quick timeout and I thought he
was going to applaud me. Instead,
he said, ‘I sent you in to play
defense. Don’t shoot!’ I didn’t
dare take another shot. He was a
stickler for the fundamentals of the
game.”
Bobby and his first wife, Patsy,
had two daughters, Beth Glidden
Bartley and Kristen Glidden. With
his current wife, Susan, they had
one son, William Joseph Glidden,
named after his grandfather. All
three children click well as a family. In eulogizing their Dad, Billy
said, “I speak for the three of us
when I say that being Bob
Glidden’s child has been at once a
wild ride, and a true privilege. He
loved his three kids with his whole
heart, and would do anything for
us.” He also loved his mother-inlaw, Margaret “Chloe” Boyle, with
whom Bobby, Susan and Billy live.
Not a day passed without a chat
surrounding whichever Boston
sports team happened to be playing.
B i l l y c o n t i n u e d h i s e u l o g y.
“Many of his friends would probably attest to his unwavering loyalty
to the people he loved. He found
meaning in the ser vice of his
friends.” Long-time friend, Gerry
Aubrey said, “It got to be pointless
to argue with Bobby. No matter
how heated the argument, when it
was over, we still were friends. He
stuck to his position, but friendship was more important than who
was right or wrong. Bobby was
loyal to a fault.”
“So many fond memories, so
many funny stories,” said Tommy
Cosmos, whose late father, Nick,
w a s a B o b b y G l i d d e n m e n t o r.
“Even up to the end, Bobby never
lost his sense of humor. He was
the ultimate competitor and a fantastic teammate. Most important
of all, he was a loyal friend. Bobby
would go to the ends of the earth
for his friends and that never
changed. There is a void and a
hole in my heart. To know Bobby
was to love him.”
Bobby Glidden was no saint.
He was an average guy who had
his faults - he would be the first to
admit it. Still, he loved life, loved
his family and considered his
friends to be his family. Given the
number of grown men – and
women – who cried when they
learned of Bobby’s death, it’s obvious they returned Bobby’s feelings.
Farewell, my friend. We are all
thankful that God blessed us with
your presence.

She said the program gives the students
the tools and the structure to make change.
“Not only to create a legacy, but to reach
beyond their school walls and into the greater
community,” Vasquez said. “We’ve seen with
the community organizations collaborating
with us, this is exactly what happened.”
Through her own observations, she found
energy being wasted throughout the school.
She commended the students for their drive
and diligence throughout the audit process.
Principal Paul Hyry said he wants the students to present their findings at a faculty
meeting.
“I think energy savings is, more than anything, a matter of behavioral changes,” he
said. “We need to have a compelling rational
for behavior changes. I think it’s our students
who can get into our hearts more effectively
than anyone else.
He said the savings in energy could be
used for field trips, special activities or to
fund programs.
“There’s so many things we could do with
an extra $30,000 or $40,000,” he said.
Megan Harding, project manager for the
Full Ser vice Community School Initiative,

green technologies. Beauregard said the
HGE “keeps the lights on in the city of
Holyoke.”
Since 1997, said Beauregard, HGE has
not only focused on energy generation, but
on telecommunications and has constructed a fiber optic network. The network connects 90 percent of medium and large size
businesses to high-speed internet.
Still, he said, energy generation will
remain HGE’s major focus.
“We can’t forget our core business and
we have to ensure that we meet our mission statement - Excellent rates, excellent
customer service and reliable service,” he
said.
Beauregard said the HGE is currently
studying the viability of harnessing wind
power from the top of Mt. Tom, hydrokinetic energy from the Connecticut River,
and other sources, with the emphasis on
low-emissions sources.
Mayor Elaine A. Pluta, spoke during a
break.
“People are here because they feel the
momentum and energy in the city of
Holyoke,” she said. “We are, indeed, on
the brink of being revitalized and reenergized. There’s a renaissance coming to the
city. Everybody feels that and wants to be
part of it.”
She said despite the national economic
downturn, the city continues to move forward powered by an infusion of state, private and educational money, dollars that
will go toward future high-tech and other
projects.
The last half of the summit was devoted to “Lessons from other cities:
Challenges and Opportunities.” The panelist included Benjamin Forman, of
MassInc.; Kelly Aikin, of the Regional
Planning Board of Hampden County;
Adam Baacke, from the city of Lowell;
Thomas Deller, of Providence Economic
Development; and Timothy McGourthy,
city of Worcester.

Volleyball Hall of Fame announces Class of 2010 inductees
HOLYOKE - The Volleyball Hall of Fame announced
the names of six volleyball greats who will be inducted as

"The five individuals and one beach team selected for
the 2010 Volleyball Hall of Fame are remarkable individuals who have brought distinction to the sport either as a
player or coach," said Doug Beal, co-chair of the Volleyball
Hall of Fame Selection Committee. "This induction class,
exemplifying diversity among gender and represented
countries, continues the well-established excellence of the

sport from around the world. We can't wait to get them all
in Holyoke and bestow upon them the accolades they all
so well deserve. This is our pinnacle event of the year, and
this is a very exciting group."

Poisoning prevention
By Acting Chief William F. Kane
1. Use medication only with adult supervision.
A baby-sitter or an older brother or sister is many
times responsible for the care and safety of young children. Knowing what to do in the event of a poisoning
and following proper poison prevention behaviors are an
important part of that responsibility.
Caregivers should know that children who are poisoned by prescription and nonprescription medicines
are often attracted to them because of their shape, color,
and smell. All vitamins and medicines should be stored
in a locked cabinet, out of the sight and reach of children. Children should only take medicines or vitamins
that are administered by an adult. Caregivers should purchase medicines with child-resistant caps, avoid taking
medicines in front of children and never refer to medicine as candy. Always store poisonous substances in
their original containers, because content information is
needed by a Poison Control Center or physician is listed
on the label. Other locations where children are present
(such as a grandparent’s or baby-sitter’s home) should
also be safeguarded against preventable poisonings.
2. Post the phone number of the Poison Control Center
near all phones.
The phone number of the local Poison Control
Center should be posted near every phone in the home.
If you suspect that someone has been poisoned, stay
calm and call the local Poison Control Center, 9-1-1 or
the operator. If possible, bring the poison’s container or
label to the phone so you can describe it to the Poison
Control Center expert. Listen carefully to what he or she
tells you. If you don’t understand something, ask the
expert to repeat it. Don’t hang up the phone until you
are told to do so.
Contact your local Poison Control Center to learn
what to keep at home in case of poisoning. The center
may advise that you keep syrup of ipecac and activated
charcoal at home. Always call the Poison Control Center
immediately when a poisoning happens. Syrup of ipecac
and activated charcoal should only be given upon the
advice of the Poison Control Center or physician.
3. Hunt from poison hazards in your home.
Adolescents can help their siblings and friends avoid
unintentional poisonings by keeping a watchful eye on
them and hunting for poison hazards in the home. Don’t
let a child eat or drink anything that has not been
approved by an adult. Children should always alert an
adult if they think another child is in danger of being
poisoned. The following precautions can also help prevent poisoning:
• Keep all poisonous materials out of the sight and reach
of children, preferably in a high, locked cabinet. Most
bathroom medicine chests are not safe places for medicine storage.
• Children can be poisoned by eating the leaves of some
indoor plants. Check the location of all plants and
remove those that are dangerous.
• Children can be poisoned by the ingestion of dust
from lead-based paint. Dust covers surfaces in the
home, which children can touch and unintentionally
ingest. Parents should follow the recommendations of
their pediatrician for regular testing of lead poisoning
in their children.
• Install carbon monoxide (CO) detectors in the home.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends
that consumers have their furnaces, water heaters, and
other fuel-burning appliances inspected yearly by a
qualified professional. Be sure that space heaters are
properly vented. When purchasing new heating and
cooking equipment, select factor y-built products
approved by an independent testing laboratory.
• When using a fireplace open the flue for adequate ventilation.
• Never use a barbecue grill indoors.
• Gasoline, kerosene, and other flammable poisonous
liquids should be stored in small quantities outside
the home in a shed or detached garage using laboratory-listed safety cans.
An
pastime!

Holyoke Community College course
explores post-incarceration issues
HOLYOKE - A spoken word performance by Holyoke
Community College students and women who formerly
served time in prison will be held Monday, May 17 at 7
p.m. in the Picknelly Dining Room, Frost 265, at HCC,
with performers sharing their writings and poetry on
post-incarceration issues facing women re-entering the
community.
Open to the public, the event marks the completion
of "Steps to Freedom," a ground-breaking course developed by HCC’s Human Services Department and Voices
from Inside, a group that facilitates writing workshops
for women in prison. The Women’s Fund of Western
Massachusetts, Inc. sponsored the course.
The class brought together HCC students with
women who were recently released from jail, on parole,
or in re-entry programs. The class explored the challenges that these women and others faced before they
were imprisoned, while incarcerated, and after returning
to the general population.
Could you give this
child a forever home?
Editor’s note: This is one story is a series about children in Massachusetts who are available for adoption.
Hi! My name is Serenity. "I enjoy watching
cartoons, especially Dora the Explorer and I like
to get dressed up in bright colors.”
Serenity is a beautiful little girl of Caucasian
descent, with blonde hair and brown eyes, who
loves to explore the great outdoors and listen to
music. This lively, expressive 7-year- old also
enjoys playing with her toys, especially her
stuffed animals and the ones that light up or
make noise. Although Serenity is non-verbal, she
expresses herself by reaching for objects she
wants and tapping the table in order to get your
attention.
Serenity has bonded well with both her foster
mother and foster brother and is thriving in this
environment. She enjoys going to church with
her foster family where she spends time with her
peers. Diagnosed with significant developmental
disabilities, Autism and Rett’s disorder, Serenity
benefits from ongoing assistance and support
both at school and at home. She is learning to
sign and point at pictures to express herself and
will babble and make loud noises in order to get
her message across. Serenity is able to walk on
her own with the help of ankle braces. She likes
to be treated like a child with typical capabilities.
Legally free for adoption, Serenity would do
well in a loving single mother or two -parent
family that can understand and meet her significant needs, with no younger children. She is in
Serenity.

need of a family that will provide her with lots
of nurturance, but that encourages her to develop her skills in independence. An ideal family
would help Serenity to maintain her connection
to her birth siblings. Can you provide the love
and stability that Serenity needs? If you’re at
least 18 years old, have a stable income and
room in your heart, you may be a perfect match
to adopt a waiting child. You can be single, married or partnered; GLBT; experienced or not;
renters or homeowners. The process to adopt a
child from foster care includes training, interviews, and home visits to make a good match.

DCR urges water safety
as spring and summer
lure bathers
The Department of Conservation and Recreation
(DCR) is urging the public to act safely this spring
and summer as the lure of warm weather and refreshing open water brings bathers, boaters, and waders
onto DCR’s lakes, ponds, and ocean beaches.
While air temperatures may feel like summer, the
water can still be very cold. Jumping into such cold
water can cause an involuntar y air way spasm that
prevents a person from breathing, even if they can
get above the surface of the water. Early spring
swimming is especially dangerous for this reason,
and DCR urges beachgoers to avoid diving, jumping,
or any quick immersion into the water.
To prevent water-related tragedies, DCR is releasing the following facts and safety tips for anyone venturing near the water.
Water safety facts:
• Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental
death in the country.
• Drowning victims usually drown within 30 feet of
safety
• Each year, about 200 children drown and several
thousand others are treated in hospitals for submersion accidents that often leave children with
permanent brain damage or respirator y health
problems. Children have a natural curiosity and
attraction to water, and it takes only a few minutes
for a child to wander away from the adults in
charge.
• Water conducts body heat away up to 26 times
faster than does air of the same temperature.
• Once your body temperature drops below 95
degrees (only a few degrees below 98.6, which is
normal), shivering often begins. At 93 degrees, loss
of manual dexterity and muscle rigidity begin to
develop. At about 86 degrees, a person becomes
unconsciousness. At 83 degrees, cardiac arrest generally occurs.
Simple safety tips:
• Never swim alone.
• Swim only where lifeguards are present, whenever
possible.
• Never over estimate your swimming abilities.
• Never drink alcohol while swimming.
• Never swim in cold water or cold weather. It takes
only minutes for hypothermia to set in. This is
especially important in spring, when the air is
warm but cold water can still affect breathing and
other body functions.

HOLYOKE - Maria B. Dwight has been named the
recipient of the Loomis Communities 2010 Elvira
Whiting Ball Award. The award is presented annually to
an individual who personifies the organization’s first
President and a founding member.
Maria B. Dwight drew inspiration to work with older
adults from her mother, Marcelle Burgee, who served on
the Board of Directors of Loomis Communities for 33
years. Maria’s own work over the past 40 years has challenged stereotypes of aging and ability at every level. She
envisions, and has planned, varied and multicultural
communities that focus on keeping people healthy
through preventive healthcare, supported autonomy and
personal choice all over the world.
As a community activist in Holyoke in the 1960s and
1970s, she led the effort to establish the first municipal
Geriatric Authority in the United States that created the
Holyoke Municipal Home as a multi-tiered skilled nurs-
ing facility to be governed by the Authority. In recognition of her efforts, the Maria B. Dwight Geriatric and
Rehabilitation Center was named in 1977.
Maria is currently the president and founder of
Gerontological Services, Inc. and has over 40 years' experience in programming and planning facilities and services for older people with emphasis on the inter-relationship of housing, health and social services. Thanks to
Maria’s life-work, the lives of many older adults are
changing for the better.
Loomis Communities is proud to honor Maria B.
Dwight with the 2010 Loomis Communities Elvira
Whiting Ball Award. The award will be presented at the
Annual Spring Reception of the Loomis Communities, to
be held at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 27 at Reeds
Landing, 807 Wilbraham Road, Springfield. For further
information or to purchase tickets, please call Andrea
Brennan at 413-532-5325.

HOLYOKE – A very young Holyoke
boys track and field team has already
qualified 10 athletes for the all Western
Mass. meet on Saturday, May 29 at
Westfield State College.
The boys team began this week 3-3
overall. The Purple Knights recently won a
92-36 decision over Cathedral with a total
team effort.
Junior Juwan Daniels took first place in
the 100 meters with an 11.5 second performance. The versatile athlete also won
the long jump (20-9) and high jump (62).
Sophomore Kris Tardy placed first in
the 200 meters with a time of 23.6 seconds. Distance runners Evan Bibeau, a
senior and sophomore Cody Hodgins
won their respective events. Bibeau
placed first in the 800 meters with a time
of 2 minutes, 11.0 seconds, while
Hodgins continued to dazzle by running
the mile in a time of 4 minutes, 49 seconds.
Both Holyoke relay teams also took
first place over the Panthers. John Gray
won the shot put with a throw of 38-9
1/2 while Matt White’s throw of 134-0
was best in the javelin. Patrick Keane won
the discus (87-9) and Dan Albrecht took
top honors in the pole vault by clearing
11-0.

CHICOPEE – The baseball and softball team enjoyed their best weeks of
the year, with the boys winning two and
the girls winning their only game of the
week. The girls track team continued
its strong season, while the boys track
and girls tennis teams were not so successful.
BASEBALL
Through 10 games, Holyoke
Catholic was winless. The Gaels were
having trouble scoring runs, as four
shutouts in those 10 games would
attest. But they got the second half of
the season off to a great start with wins
over Hampshire, 13-11 and Dean Tech,
11-5.
The Gaels jumped out to a quick 4-0
lead against Hampshire, as Tyler
Limoges triple to start the game and
scored on Ryan Ferriter sacrifice fly.
Then Nate Thompson was hit by a
pitch and Brian Malave a singled. Mike
Hagelstein cleared the bases with a
home run. Catholic got two more in
the second as Matt Iczkowski doubled
in Colin McDonald and then scored on
a Malave single. In the third, the
Raiders scored three times to cut the
lead in half. After they closed to a run
with two in the sixth, Holyoke Catholic
