The spiritual things — the things not seen — are really important. This scripture goes on to describe our ancestors in the faith, from Abel and Enoch and Noah to Abra- ham and Sarah. It says that by faith, Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, built an ark to save his family. Sometimes God asks us to continue believ- ing, evenwhen we don't see all it from a distance before. But for her, this was truly "things not seen:' And yet she be- lieved — because she trusted me! We need to have just that kind of trust in God. That is what faith is all about. Rev. Ken Blanchard the details. Abraham was con- sidered the father of the faith- ful. He left home for a land that he didn't see, yet he believed. In fact, Hebrews 11:13 says: "All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised...." The promises were "things not seen" in this life. God can use this kind of faith in people of any age to bring about God's intended purposes. That is because God is with us, in us, behind us, before us, and around us. We need to trust God in order to have as- surance of things hoped for and the con- viction of things not seen. That is faith. On my first trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park with my wife, we were com- pletely fogged in all week. We couldri t see a thing! I was so frustrated because I want- ed to share the beauty of that place with my wife •— for her to see what I had seen. But she didn't see anything. I knew the awesome scenery was there — I had seen HEARING i from page i Neighbors of the property and other Agawam residents have been fighting the prospect of low-income housing on the property since it was announced last month that HAP had bought it.. -Two weeks ago, protestors filed a formal petition at a City Council meeting, with more than 500 signatures collected online. Comments from several of those signers were also in - eluded. Many of the signatures came from out- side Agawam, but late last week, Gioscia said in a memorandum to the council that he had been able to certify enough signa- tures of town residents to declare the pe- tition valid. Under the terms of the Town Charter, the council is required to bold a publee hearing to a d&vss a petition signed by 50 registered voters. - However, Cichetti said he is unsure what action, if anything, the council can take. "Normally, in order to have a resolution that proposes purchasing a property, there would need to be a purchase and sales agreement inplace," said Cichetti, who also works in the real estate. "HAP right now is not even interested in selling the property. They have already purchased the property and spent a lot of money researching the property before buying it" The land, a former farm, had been iden- tified by town odicials as blighted and had been on the housing market for several years. During a meeting with HAP in late July, three councilors asked HAP representa- tives if they would consider selling the property. At the time, the representatives said they were moving forward with their plans for the 586 Mill St. property. One of those councilors, Robert Rossi, Like our ancestors in the faith, all the people of God who came before us — even those we have personally known and loved — we all have been called to cling to our faith. We cling to the hope of a future that may seem too good to be true. We may not see any of what is promised yet. Can we believe in "things not seen"? Of course we can! Like believers in the past, we too must be steadfast in our faith, even when we see no signs of its ful- fillment. We have the example of the great cloud of witnesses that came before us. They were human beings just like us. We all love our families and friends and want the best for them — even though we are not in control. God is. God will fulfill his purposes. We all have the same hopes and dreams and aspirations. We all have the same doubts and fears and insecurities. Butwe must keep on keeping on, like those who came before us, because we know we can trust in a God who is everywhere and who is always for us, never against us. We have the assurance'of things hoped for. We can believe in things not seen. Amen. Ken Blanchard is the pastor at Agawam United Methodist Church ;on Mill Street in Feeding Hills and Christ Church United Methodist in Southwick said he would have liked'to see the town use CPA funds for half the purchase of the property and bond the zest. Half would have been preserved as open space while the other half could have -been used for a future early childhood center. "And the town could }dove helped HAP find another property ii town to create housing; said Rossi. Now, Rossi said, it is ix�tportant for the town to do its best to work with HAP and monitor the progress of a project that could be permitted undejr Chapter 40B, a state law that allows a developer of afford- able housing to ignore lot L zoning regula- tions. # "The town should no do what it can in order to see what it cAn do in order to tnake sure there is -a mWmal zmpact on the community and; tbrineighhors, said Rossi. ".We have time-, this thing is not go- ing to be built tomott aw Cichetti estimates the public hearing Will appear on the cour* agenda as new business in September, so the hearing it- self could be tailed for the Sept. I9 or Oct. council meeting. Gioscia said he was able to use the town's database of relrstered voters to certify more than 50 signatures to validate the public hearing. Th6ugh none . of the petitioners physically sligned a document support was collected online at Change. org — he said electronk petitions are not disallowed by the state.: Meanwhile, the CIA does have the funds to purchase the property, but no formal discussions have taken place. CPA money could only be used to preserve the property as open space or for some type of recreation.

ALL i from page 10 tion standpoint, the departing group will be good for the league. 'the Springfield Tigers have joined a travel league in Connecticut this season. This leaves the Springfield 5A, which is no longer the largest organization in the league. For many years, the larger towns have had trouble compet- ing with Springfield due to their even larger numbers and multiple organizations. Now, Dematteo said, the competition is wide open. His home organization of Agawam, currently has the largest numbers in the league he said. The NFC conference features the larger teams in the re- gion, with Holyoke, Longmeadow, Northampton, Spring- field 5A, and Wilbraham on the West side. Agawam, Chi- copee, East Longmeadow, Westfield, and West Springfield make up the East. Each team plays eight games, with league games and crossover games on the schedule. There are 12 teams in the smaller town, AFC confer- ence. Amherst, Belchertown, Franklin, Ludlow, Quaboag, and South Hadley_ make up the West while Easthampton, Fron- tier, Palmer, Quabbin, Ware, and Warren/West Brookfield make up the East. Dematteo said the competition committee that evalu- ates the makeup of the conference made one major change, shipping South Hadley out of the larger town conference. South Hadley had lots of success there, but recently have CURRAN ll from page io last three games with the team. He has been slumping, un- fortunately, with just one hit in his last 27 at -bats spanning across 11 days. Curran started the Gulf Coast season on a roll, He had hits in his first two games, then recorded eight hits and eight RBI in a five -game span between June 30 and July 4, bringing his batting average up to .370. He continued to hit well through the early part of July, including a 2-for-3 performance against the Red Sox and a 3-for-5 game with three RBI against the Rays. His batting average than started to decline in mid July. He recorded a hit on July 15 against the Rays before going hitless in two straight games. He then spent six games with Aberdeen, going hitless there before hitting a two -run dou- ble last Friday in a Gulf Coast game against the Rays. He finally broke back out of the slump on Aug.. I when he had a big 3-for-4 game against the Red Sox with an RBI. The big game brings CurraiA batting average up to .295 in 24 games with the Orioles. He has an OPS of,723 and the entire month of August still to play. In the field, Curran has been sticking to playing first base, but also is the designated hitter in some cases. He played 22 games at first base, and has made only two errors and has turned 10 double plays. SEND US YOUR SPORTS PHOTOS&%=A& had declining numbers, necessitating the change. Another new element in the league is adopting of high school -like policies, which include no contact of any kind for players during the first three days of practice. Only conditioning will take place. He also said every organiza- tion has a coach that has received extra training from USA Football on concussion protocol and the Heads Up ta"ng approach taught to youth players to prevent head injuries. "We are constantly training our coaches, parents, and players on the proper safe ways to play football, said De- matteo.

Trip de - Five Mutiny stars garner UWS East honors SPRINGFIELD - It's the time of the year for end -of - season awards and United Womerfs Soccer (UWS) has released their 2016 All -East Conference Team and indi- vidual honors. Four Mutiny players - forward Kate How- arth, midfielder Stephanie Santos and defenders Allyson Swaby & Jennifer Cafferky - were selected to the All -Bast Team while defender Cailynn Harding was named the team's "Iron Woman" of the Year (given to the player who plays the most minutes for her team in the season). "We're real proud of our five players getting honored for their efforts this season, said Mutiny owner Joe Fer- rara, Jr. Although our East campaign didn't end the way we all wanted it to, its great to see them be recognized by the league. They truly were All -Stars for us this year" Leading the way on the All -East First Team are Howarth, Santos and Swaby. Howarth led the team in points this season (nine goals, four assists) and was second in all of UWS in scoring, behind East Player of the Year Krystyna Freda from New Jersey Copa F.C. who were conference champions. The team captain also took over second -place in the all-time Mutiny scoring charts (32 goals, 12 assists), as she is now behind top franchise scorer Mary -Fran- ces Monroe (36 goals, 21 assists) in overall career points. Santos was a mainstay in the Mutiny midfield this sea- son, appearing in eight matches and notching a goal and two assists. Her non-stop work rate in the center of the pitch was a sight to see and she was only behind How- arth & Harding in minutes played (684). Swaby played all along the defensive back line this year, providing a strong & athletic presence for Head Coach Joe Abele. The Jamaican international will head back to Bos ton College this fall for her junior year in Eagle colors. Cafferky joined the Mutiny just before the mid -season mark and was named All -East Honorable Mention by the league office. The rising junior for the CCSU Blue Devils was an instant success in the tearn's defense. It was easy to see why she has been named Northeast Conference De- fensive Player of the Year in her first two seasons at CCSU. Harding - Cafferky`s former college teammate - was a reli- able presence in the Mutiny defense, appearing in nine of 10 East Conference games, and was named East Defensive Player of the Week. parts Tuesday August 16 returning on Thursday August 18.

You are encouraged to attend and comment. Sincerely, /ice Mark R. Paleologopoulos, Chairman AGAWAM PLANNING BOARD MRP:prk REGULAR MEETING OF THE AGAWAM CITY COUNCIL Minutes dated September 19, 2016 Meeting was called to order by Council President Cichetti at 7:00pm in the Auditorium of the Roberta G.

With eleven present, there was a quorum. Item B. Moment of Silence and the Pledge oLAllegiance. Council President Cichetti asked for a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance. Item C, Citizen's Speak Time Collette Parsons and Kathy Hamel of Mill Street spoke in opposition of the HAP proposal on Mill Street. Corinne Wingard spoke in support of the Stretch Energy Code. Item D. Minutes 1. Regular Council Meeting — September 6, 2016 Motion to approve made by Councilor Rheault and seconded by Councilor Cavallo. Voice vote approved. Item E. Declaration from Council President None. Item F. Presentation of Petitions. Memorials & Remonstrances 1. TR-2016-54 - A Resolution appropriating from the Community Preservation Fund and authorizing the expenditure of Community Preservation funds to fund the appraisals of properties abutting town - owned land (CPA) {Referred to Community Relations Committee} Motion to approve made by Councilor Rossi and seconded by Councilors Suffriti and Johnson. As Chair of the Community Relations Committee, Councilor Bitzas provided his report stating the committee discussed the two properties and that the CPA approved the use of funds for the appraisals which was not to exceed $5000. The committee gave a positive recommendation for passage to the Full Council. Councilor Letellier noted that the administration should have provided more information and backup on the parcels in question as in any studies performed, is the town out of parking spaces at the concerts, etc. Council President mentioned that the Mayor stated in the Agenda Review meeting that it was basically for additional parking and not sure which parcel is better. Councilor Bitzas stated the CPA members recommended it. The vote was 11 YES, 0 NO approving the item. 2. TR-2016-55 - A Resolution confirming the appointment of Michael D. Dobise, 43 Parkedge Drive, Feeding Hills, MA 01030 to the Agawam Municipal Golf Commission for a term expiring on December 31, 2019 (Mayor) Motion to approve made by Councilor Theroux and seconded by Councilor Bitzas. The vote was 11 YES, 0 NO confirming the appointment. 3. TR-2016-56 - A Resolution adopting the "Stretch Energy Code" for the Town of Agawam (Mayor) (Referred to Legislative Committee) Motion to approve made by Councilor Johnson and seconded by Councilor Calabrese. As Chair of the Legislative Committee, Councilor Theroux provided the report stating that the members from the state gave a thorough presentation on this item. The committee provided no recommendation but wanted the Full Council to have a dialogue regarding the item. Councilor Johnson strongly supports this item stating that we are keeping the Town of Agawam out of the running for state money by not adopting the Stretch Code. He believes this does not put builders in a competitive disadvantage. Councilor Letellier was in favor the first time this came before the Council and most towns have passed this. Councilor Rossi disagreed and is not in favor in past or now. He believes it is not a good fit for the Town of Agawam. The Stretch Code controls our zoning regulations, permitting processes and are more performance based. He believes Agawam should be a green community and created and supported that back in 2011. By passing this item, the town loses local control and is not worth it. Councilor Theroux thinks this is good and encourages the town to put in energy conservation measures. He agrees with Councilor Johnson and thinks it is the wave of the future and is a good program. He noted that the Stretch Code requirements will be here in 2017 anyway. Councilor Calabrese agreed and thanked Mr. Knapic and Mr. Barry from the state for coming to the meeting. Councilors Calabrese, Mineo and Bitzas noted their support of this item. Councilor Cavallo supported the item as well but asked if the money dries up at all and also noted that eventually the town will have to comply with the regulations anyway. Councilor Rheault is not in favor feels the state is waving a carrot in front of the town and then we get stuck with the regulations. He questioned its cost effectiveness. His gut says it is not good for the town and is voting against it. Councilor Rossi stated this item does not have to be passed in order for it to be enacted. The state created this and again stated that this is taking local authority away from the town. Councilor Theroux stated as Chair of the Legislative Committee that yes, the grant money could always be cut but wouldn't you rather purchase or build a home that is energy rated. The seed money indeed is a carrot but that's what it is for and it is a good move for Agawam. Councilor Johnson emphasized that this has absolutely nothing to do with local control. The local option that allows us to ask a little more of our builders is not giving up local control and does not affect zoning. In exchange for that, we get to participate in a grant program. The concept is to promote energy efficiency. Councilor Cavallo moved the question which was seconded by Councilor Theroux. The vote was 8 YES, 2 NO (Councilors Rheault and Rossi), 1 ABSTENTION (Councilor Cichetti) moving the item. The vote was 8 YES, 2 NO (Councilors Rheault and Rossi), 1 ABSTENTION (Councilor Cichetti) approving the item. 4. TR-2016-57 - A Resolution authorizing the appropriation of funds to finance the lease to purchase agreement by the City of Agawam Fire Department to purchase a 2016 Custom Red Titan Ambulance (Mayor) (Referred to Finance Committee) Motion to approve made by Councilor Suffriti and seconded by Councilor Johnson. As Chair of the Finance Committee, Councilor Johnson provided a report stating the Chief Sirois is purchasing a new ambulance for the AFD and Emergency Management will be taking the old ambulance. The funds will be coming from the Revolving Account and that this is a lease purchase with three annual payments for its form of financing. The vote was I YES, 0 NO approving the item. 2 Item G. Report of Council Committees None. Item H. Elections None. Item L Public Hearings 1. ZC-2016-3 - Petition for Zone change by Debra Ann Desmond for property located at Main Street from Residential A-2 to Business A District (Referred to Legislative Committee) Motion to approve made by Councilor Calabrese and seconded by Councilor Suffriti. Council President opened the Public Hearing. Rob Levesque provided the presentation on behalf of the petitioner, Debra Desmond. These parcels are south of the Garden Restaurant and they are asking that they be changed to Business A and that they have a proposed use with a potential buyer for a business. Councilor Johnson asked if Mr. Patel was an interested party. No one came forward to speak in favor name only, in opposition of or in opposition name only. Council President declared the Public Hearing closed. Councilor Theroux as Chair of the Legislative Committee provided the report stating his committee is sending a positive recommendation for passage to the Full Council by a vote of 5 Yes — 0 No and that the Planning Board send a positive recommendation as well. The vote was 11 YES, 0 NO approving the item. 2. Petition received August 1, 2016 regarding the proposed Mill Street/HAP project — Suggest a Public Hearing date Councilor Johnson suggested that since the Solicitor took no position and gave no opinion as to whether or not this petition is legal and valid, he is concerned that the Council will be setting precedence with online petitions. Councilor Johnson made a Motion to remove the item from the Agenda noting that he would be happy to work with the Petitioners to resubmit another petition in the correct way. Councilor Johnson said this petition doesn't even come close to being valid in his opinion. The state would never allow it -- it's not the content, it is the petition itself and that's why he asked for the Solicitor's opinion but apparently it went way over the Solicitor's head with his "non - opinion" letter. Council President noted that the Mayor said it was up to the Legislative body to decide. Councilor Johnson said that is absolutely untrue. The State specifically states to get a solicitor minion and that is why he asked for one from the Solicitor. Councilor Theroux sees both sides of this issue. Can't we amend the petition and have the public hearing in November? Council President noted that the November meeting would be after the required ninety day turnaround for petitions. Councilor Theroux doesn't care if it was or wasn't submitted property and the people need to be heard. Let's try to find a solution. Councilor Letellier said regardless of feelings, everyone else had to fix petitions if submitted improperly. If we want to change those rules, then change them however we've made others change petitions to be properly submitted, then these people should as well. HAP is not going to break down. We should table this until we receive an amended petition. The rules have to apply the same to everyone. Councilor Cavallo agreed with Councilor Theroux but maybe should play it safe like Councilor Letellier stated. Let's do this right. Councilor Calabrese stated the Council is in this for the long haul but accepting it now could jeopardize the future of this petition. Good call by Councilors Johnson and Letellier — this should be put in the proper format. Councilor Johnson wanted to clarify that the comments are not regarding the contents. He suggests removing the item from the Agenda and resubmit with valid signatures and get a proper question. He is very happy to work with the petitioners to fix things. He is extremely concerned with setting a precedent. Why table this? Just remove it from the Agenda and resubmit. Motion to remove the item made by Councilor Johnson and seconded by Councilor Theroux. The vote was 11 YES, 0 NO removing the item from the Agenda. Item A Old Business 1. TO-2016-28 - Order granting or renewing a Junk Dealer's PERMIT for John's Trucking of Agawam, Inc., 415 Silver Street, Agawam, MA. (Clerk) (Referred to Administrative Committee) Motion to approve made by Councilor Rheault and seconded by Councilors Cavallo and Mineo. Councilor Cavallo as Chair of the Administrative Committee provided a report stating his committee gave a positive recommendation to the Full Council The vote was 11 YES, 0 NO approving the item.

ZC-2016-4 - Petition for Zone Change by Cloverleaf Realty Group, Inc. for property between Parcel I9-2-27 and Parcel I9-2-2.8 located at 0 Suffield Street and 83 Mill Street from Agricultural to Business A in the entirety —Refer to Planning Board and Suggest a Public Hearing date of October 17, 2016 Referred to Planning Board and the Legislative Committee, and the Public Hearing date was set for October 17`h. 2.

(Mayor) Motion to approve made by Councilor Rheault and seconded by Councilor Suffriti. As Chair of the Finance Committee, Councilor Johnson noted that they discussed this during `any other matter' with Chris Golba, the Auditor and the Treasurer. There is a 400' + area at Rt. 57 and Meadow Street intersection that is collapsing. It is no longer round. This needs to get done immediately so there is no disruption of service. The plan is once the funds have been certified; they will come back to the Council and return the funds back to the Reserve Fund. Mr. Golba stated that every day that goes by is dangerous. Councilor Rossi said he had no problem with this but inquired how this happen — how did they discover this — was this damaged when the water line was being worked on by the state? Councilor Johnson stated that this clay piping dates back to the 1930's. Sewer backups were occurring so DPW sent cameras down and they couldn't get through the pipe as it was no longer round but collapsing into an oval. They will also check the surrounding areas to ensure those pipes are stable. This is more due to old age than anything else. The vote was 11 YES, 0 NO approving the item. i Wr Item L.
