If the council can receive an-
swers in time, it may hold a spe-
cial meeting on July 23 to vote on
the zone change. The property is
currently zoned Agricultural; the
developers are requesting that it
be designated an R5 Age -Restrict-
ed Residential district.
According to the developers'
attorney, the project envisions 24
ranch -style duplex buildings, with
a two -car garagetLttached to each
unit Twenty of the units would be
1,500 square feet and are expect-
ed to sell at about $299,000; the
remaining 28 are larger, at 1,800
square feet, and priced in the
$339,000 range.
Both Johnson and Agawam
resident Susan Grossberg said at
the public hearing that they were
disappointed the project does not
include any "affordable housing"
subsidized units.
This would be Shibley and
Sweeney's first project in Agawam,
but it is similar to two age -restrict-
ed condo developments they built
in West Springfield, known as
Canterbury Woods, on Piper Road,
and the Condos at Beech Hill, off
Brush Hill Avenue.
Donald Moore, a South West-
field Street resident whose prop-
erty abuts the proposed condos,
said he took a look at the West
Springfield properties and was im-
pressed, but he worries that there
isrf t enough room on this property
to screen the condo development
from the road, as was done at Can-
terbury and Beech Hill.
"This is right on the road," he
held Saturday, Aug. 11, from 9 a.m.
to 3 p.m. Itwillbe held rain or shine

Center, 833 Main St, Agawam.

said. "It will change the complex-
ion of the neighborhood"
Another concern voiced at the
public hearing was a worry that
placing a driveway on that sec-
tion of Route 187 would lead to
collisions between through traf-
fic and cars turning into or out of
the condo complex. 'The road is
known for high speeds; high vol-
ume during rush hours, and poor
sightlines, councilors said.
That section of road is expect-
ed to be reconstructed within
the next few years, eliminating
the rise that blocks visibility and
possibly installing a traffic light at
Pine and South Westfield streets.
The developers said they would
work with the town engineer and
are willing to place the driveway
entrance at whatever location
town officials feel is the safest.
The project is one of two large
condo developments proposed
for the intersection of Pine and
South Westfield streets, The
Planning Board on June 21 ap-
proved plans by Ralph DePalma
for 80 market -rate condo units
on 56 acres at 497 S. Westfield St.,
across the street from Shibley and
Sweeney project.
Both parcels will connect to
the sewer line that was recently
installed to serve Soldier On, a
veterans housing complex at the
former police academy building
on South Westfield Street.
Even if the zone change is
granted, the Shibley and Swee-
ney development would still need
permission from the Planning
Board to proceed. The developers'
attorney said they hope to start
construction this fall.
Lions Club golf tournament
to honor longtime member
The Agawam Lions Club will
hold its first jack Conroy Memo-
rial Golf Tournament on Satur-
day, Sept. 1, at Oak Ridge Golf
Club, 850 S. Westfield St, Feed-
ing Hills. Conroy was a longtime
member of the Agawam Lions
Club and friend to many in the
community.
The cost to play in the tour-
nament is $110 per person, or
$400 per foursome, and includes
greens fees, carts, lunch and din-
ner. The tournament is an IS -

clude contests, prizes and raffles.
Dinner -only tickets are available
at a cost of430 per person.
MOSQUITO ! from page t
since that's where the eggs will
incubate.
The PVMCD is a new part-
nership of Western Massachu-
setts towns that will help assess
the mosquito population of the
region and the disease risk to
residents, and coordinate ef-
forts to control mosquitos. Aga-
wam's participation is free for
the first year.
The resolution adopted by
the council, sponsored by Mayor.
William Sapelli, says the region-
al effort will produce a custom-
ized mapping analysis of Aga
wam, highlighting the habitats
for disease -carrying mosquitos,
by the end of the year.
"We can focus our public ed-
ucation and outreach in .those
areas with signage, notifications
and. things like that. Auer ex-
plained. "From a public health
standpoint, we really need to
make sure people know we're
doing this because it's a public
health issue, not because it's a
nuisance issues
The mapping only needs be
conducted once and is not a
yearly activity. Auer pointed out
that the locations of wetlands
don't change much from year to
year and those are the areas that
will most likely see the highest
concentrated activity. Special
carbon -dioxide traps can be
placed in those areas to catch
mosquitos and ship them off to
a lab for testing to confirm if any
diseases are being carried.
One possible treatment
solution for areas with a high
concentration of mosquitos is
to place a water-soluble larvi-
cide into catchbasins and other
manmade "structures to prevent
larvae from becoming adult
mosquitos.
Auer explained in extreme
cases, some towns have pursued
truck -mounted or aerial spray-
ing. She said this is a last resort
and a complicated process that
would involve the state, the lo-
cal Conservation Commission
and other impacted parties, in-
cluding residents and farmers.
She doesn't feel that that the
spraying is very effective, out-
side of being a visible sign that
town officials are trying to ad-
dress the issue.
Adulticides have proven to
not be very effective and they're
very controversial. it's not some-
thing that would ever be done
lightly, she explained.
Auer explained that a scenar-
io where aerial spraying might
be considered is if there are
multiple confirmed human cas-
es of virus infections with one of
the major mosquito -borne dis-
eases. According to Auer, there
was an incident in Amherst sev-
eral years ago that resulted in

the cancellation of all evening
sports and activities because of
positive human tests. She said
that would be a serious and con-
troversial decision to approach
in Agawam, as businesses like
the Big E and Six Flags are de-
pendent on nighttime visitors.
The Health Department's pri-
mary focus is to keep educating
the public to make sure people
are aware of the ways to avoid
being bit and preventing sce-
narios like the ones above from
becoming reality.
"It's always public educa-
tion. It's always about personal
responsibility for avoidance so
that you dori t get bit; Auer said.
PVMCD started last year, and
its costs so far are being fund-
ed entirely by a state grant. Be-
cause of the grant, Agawam win
not have to pay dues for its first
yearmembership, which covers
the risk assessment and. pro-.;
curement of mosquito control
equipment in 2018. Future years
of membership could include an
estimated cost of $4,500 to pay
for the PVMCD supervisor posi-
tion -- which Auer hopes will get
covered by future grant fimding.
Service costs will be town
controlled as everything
PVMCD provides can be pur-
chased a la carte. -For example,
setting up the carbon monoxide
traps will cost approximately
$190 per trap, with an additional
$30 for each mosquito pool sent
to a state lab for testing, and lar-
vicide is approximately $250 per
catchbasin.
Auer added that the town
Department of Public Works
has a pest control applicator li-
cense, so the DPW could handle
larvicide on its own once the
mosquito maps are completed.
`We could use that town
existing license to. not pay the
district to do it, but we would al-
ready know the areas that need
to be targeted" she explained.
While Central and Eastern
Massachusetts have had mos-
quito control districts estab-
lished for decades, Western
Massachusetts has not. Auer
said towns health and emergen-
cy management .officials have
been pushing for a mosquito
control district in Western Mas-
sachusetts since 2012, and final-
ly got approval in October 2017.
Deerfield's Greg Lewis, a public
health emergency planner, has
been one of the individuals tak-
ing point on the initiative.
Agawam is the sixth town
to join the PVMCD. Five others
have expressed an interest, ac-
cording to Jeanne Galloway, the
West Springfield health director
and chairman of the PVMCD
commission.

percent of superintendents in the state
.are rated exemplary which means a
superintendent is going above and be-
yond the normal expectations.
Committee members, who voted
unanimously to approve the rating
at the June 26 meeting, used a com-
prehensive evaluation process to as-
sess Lemanski's performance. They
reviewed multiple `evidence -based"
documents compiled by Lemanski,
including student progress reports
and detailed explanations from each
school, before marking appropriate
boxes on their evaluation forms.
In the first part, committee mem-
bers rated LemansVs level of prog-
ress in three goal areas (professional
practice, student learning, and dis-
trict improvement) by checking one
of five boxes: did not meet, some
progress, significant progress, met, or
exceeded.
Shelley Borgatti-Reed, Kerri
O'Connor, and Sapelli all indicated
Lemanski met all three goals. Antho-
ny Bonavita marked "exceeded" for all_
goal areas; Wendy Rua indicated Le-
manski made "significant progress" in
each goal area.
Carmino Mineo and Tracy Wilkie
agreed that Lemanski met the first
two goal areas, but differed in their as-
sessment of the district improvement
goal. Nbneo marked "exceeded" and
Wilkie checked "significant progress"
In -the second part, committee
members evaluated the superinten-
dent's performance in meeting four
standards: instructional leadership,
management and operations, family
and community engagement, and pro-
fessional culture. For each standard,
committee members could choose
unsatisfactory, needs improvement,
proficient, or exemplary.
Lemanski received a proficient
rating in all standards from Borgat-
ti-Reed, Mirieo, O'Connor and Wilk-
ie. Sapelli and Rua rated him as pro-
ficient in three of the four areas, but
Sapelli rated Lemanski as eiemplary
for instructional leadership while Rua
rated him exemplary for family and
community engagement.
Anthony Bonavita, however, rated
Lemanski as exemplary not only in ev-
ery standard, but also in his overall per-
formance rating. In the comments area
of the evaluation form, Bonavita ex-
plained his reason for the Mgb ratings.
He said.Lemanski has shown "ex-
emplary leadership" in analyzing, pre-
senting, and engaging the community
when it came to the 2018-19 school
budget. Lemanski, wrote Bonavita, had
not just rubber-stamped" the budget.
According to Bonavita, Lemans-
ki prioritized the needs and funding
to determine how to make adjust-
ments, improvements, and changes:
"His honest, -straightforward style
cut through any bureaucratic hurdles
with a simple explanation to justify
addressing the real 2018 needs, no
matter which area of the budget it in -
eluded"
Rua wrote that Lemanski's "great-
est strength" is in family and commu-
nity engagement.
"Youve been well received as our
superintendent and people often
comment about how well -liked you
are in the community, she stated.
Moving forward, Rua urged Le-
manski to continue his "strong efforts"
to improve safety protocol implemen-
tation. Rua added that she hoped he
would establish a safety subcommit-
tee that would include more `collab-
,orative conversations with stakehold-
ers' on ways to keep students safe.
Sapelli called Lemanski's first year
"outstanding" In his comments, Sapel-
li stated that Lemanski's experience
as AHS principal made his transition
to superintendent "relatively seam-
less' to Sapelli, Lemanski's
familiarity with staff, teachers and
the net proceeds thereof after
full adjudication of the equi-
table claims contained in said
petition and supplemental
memorandum filed with the
Court_
If you desire to object
thereto you or your attor-
ney should file a written
appearance in said Court
at Springfield before ten

administrators greatly reduced the
usual 'break-in period' for new super-
intendents. As a result, he has adjust-
ed well to big leadership role."
O'Connor observed that Lemans-
ki displayed "strong leadership skills"
in his work to improve the district's
goals. He's "always available regarding
issues that arise with parents and for
school staff, and displays strong lead-
ership regarding addressing issues
and concerns."
Borgatti-Reed wrote that Lemans-
kt has "done an excellent job" as super-
intendent by continually coming up
with new ways to improve the quality
of education in Agawam. Lemanski is
professional and approachable, she
added.
"He particularly excels in the area
of communication, as he commu-

ments of the district through written
communication, public meetings, and
attendance at school events, Borgat-
ti-Reed said.
Wilkie wrote that the district is
"very successful" under Lemanski's
leadership, based on the number of
high school students who graduated
this year and the zero dropout rate.
"The number of our Agawam stu-
dents going on to higher education

shows Agawam schools are very suc-
cessful, she said.
Mineo wrote that Lemanski's best
traits are his ability to listen and to
take input from others. He praised Le-
manski for his leadership in support-
ing programs that enhance school
safety, such as implementing active
shooter training for staff and students
and other security measures.
Although it will take some time
for him to master all aspects of his
new position, I'm very pleased at this
point, wrote Mineo. "It's evident that
the committee made the right deci-
sion when they chose him as our new
superintendent"

SOCCER CAMP
Young players learn from pros at Pioneer camp
By Tun Pelemon
spnrts�turley. cam
LUDLOW --'The first session ofthe West-
ern Mass. Pioneers Summer Youth Soccer
Camp, which was held during the last week
of June at historic Lusitano Stadium in Lud-
low, was very successful.
All of the kids are having a great time'at
the summer soccer camp this week; said
Greg Kolodziey, director of the summer soc-
cer camp. "We also have a very good coach-
ing staff here this week"
About 80 Western Massachusetts soccer
players, ages 6-12,.attended the soccer camp.
Three more sessions of the summer soc-
cer camp for ages 6 to 12 will be held at Lu-
sitano Stadium from July 9 to 13, 16 to 20,
and 23 to 27, A Premier Academy, which is
for soccer players between the ages of 12 to
16, will be held at the stadium from July 30
to Aug. 3. There will also be two sessions of
high school prep (ages 14-19) from Aug. 6 to
10, and 13 to 17.
"The last three weeks are for the older
players; Kolodziey said. "It's a good way for
them to prepare for the high school"
For more information about how to reg-
ister for the summer soccer camps, visit

Kolodziey was assisted by Pioneers head
coach Federico Molinari and assistant coach
Jay Willis, along with Pioneers players Chris

in its newt five games.
"I thought this would be a
winnable game, but we only
scored two runs on a couple of
hits tonight" said Monl;on head
coach Steve Tripp. "We did take
advantage of their mistakes in
the first inning to take an early
lead, but we gave it all back to
them. We've been having a lot of
trouble putting the ball in play."
The winning pitcher was
right-hander Nick Kavrakis,
the only player from Southwick
listed on the Agawam Post 185
roster, He won a team -high five
games for Southwick varsity
baseball team as a senior this
past spring as a senior. Kavrakis
earned his first Legion win of
the season by allowing two un-
earned runs on two base hits
with seven strikeouts and three
walks in the first five innings
against Monson.
Nkoghe, Rafael Pereira, Brian Vang, Federico
Gutierrez and Maxi Vera.
"Most of the campers come to the Pio-
neers games and theywatch the players play
on Friday nights"said Kolodziey, who is also
the Pioncers' general manager and the long-
time boys varsity soccer coach at Ludlow
High School. "It's always a lot of fun for the
campers and Pioneers players to get togeth-
er at the soccer camps each summer. The
players teach the campers some new skills
and they also play fun games with them.
This camp has really grown a lot during the
past 10 years"
Gutierrez, a first -year Pioneers player,
is from Montevideo, Uruguay, and he also
plays soccer at Rutgers University.
"I played for another PDL team last year,
but the environment is definitely a lot different
here this year;.he said. "We always have a very
big crowd for our home games. It's also the
first time that I've worked at a soccer camp,
and it's been a lot of fun. We've been teaching
them a lot of different things this week."
Vera, who also from the same hometown
as Gutierrez, now lives in Ludlow all year
long. He's one of the Pioneers' veteran players.
"I've been working at this soccer camp
for about seven years now and I enjoy it a
lot, said Viera, the Pioneers captain this
year. "We just want to help these kids be-
come better soccer players. We also want
them to have a lot of fun as well"
Agawam right-hander Tom
Grenier retired all six batters
that he faced as a relief pitcher
during the final two innings.
Monson used a total of five
pitchers against Agawam. Right-
hander Jake Biel, who was the ace
of the Pahner varsity team, left the
game with an apparent aim inju-
ry after striking out abetter in the
top of the fourth inning.
"Were really hoping that
Jake's injury isn't very serious,"
Tripp said. "It would be a huge
loss if we do lose him for the sea-
son. He's one of our top pitchers
and he's also our starting first
baseman when he doesn't pitch'
The four Monson relief pitch-
ers who saw action against Aga-
wam were Devin Slattery, Riley
Williams, Ryan Nodell and Der-
ekJoyce.
Several other Monson play-
ers missed the first meeting of
the season against Agawam be-
cause of injuries.

GOLF FUNDRAISER
Tournament to benefit
mental illness causes
GRANBY, Mass. -- The local chapter of the National Al-
liance on Mental Illness recently announced its second an-
nual golf tournament will be held Saturday, Aug.18, at the
Westover Golf Course, 181 South St., Granby, Mass. Along
with the tournament, there will be raffles, a hole -in -one
prize and a lunch reception.
This fundraiser is intended to provide NAME -Western
Massachusetts with the means to continue its programs
of education, advocacy and support, including efforts to
"Stop the Stigma' that goes along with having a mental
,illness.
One in five people in the United States suffer with a
mental health condition. NAMI-Western Massachusetts,
headquartered in Agawam, is an affiliate of the nation's
largest grassroots organization dedicated to improving
the lives of people living with mental illness. With free
support groups, educational programming, and advocacy,
NAME -Western Massachusetts advocates for access to ser-
vices, treatment, supports, and research and is steadfast in
its commitment to raising awareness and building a com-
munity of hope for all those in need.
Cam Sanderson, a soccer player at Lud-
low High School, Nissa Pereira, whds going
to be playing soccer at UMass-Amherst in
the fall; and Tori Bernardo, who plays soccer
at St. Bonaventure, also assisted Kolodziey
at last week's soccer camp.
Pereira, who was an outstanding soccer
player at Ludlow 160 School, has been work-
ing at the soccer camp for the past three years.
"This is the only summer soccer camp that
I work at and its a lot of fun teaching these
kids, Pereira said, "I think all of the girls at this
camp look up to Tori and I as role models. Ev-
eryone has been working veryhard so far
One of the campers at the first session
was Marco dos Santos, from Ludlow,
"I really enjoy coming to this soccer camp
a lot every year; dos Santos said. "We've been
doing a lot of different drills and playing
scrimmages each day. It's a lot of fun learning
new skills from the Pioneers players"
Besides attending the soccer camp, dos
Santos also plays for the V-9 Elite Pioneers
team, which is coached by Mauricio "Toto"
Coimbra. Toto wasdt able to attend last
week's soccer camp, but he's dos Santos' fa-
vorite Pioneers player.
"I've been playing soccer since I was four
years old and I like playing it a lot," said dos
Santos, who celebrated his eighth birthday
on June 27. "I love coach Toto and he's al-
ways helping me become a much better soc-
cer player"
going pretty well for Monson
before Riel left. The home team
took.a 2-0 lead in the bottom of
the first inning.
After loading the bases, left
fielder Tyler Cole, who led off the
frame with an infield hit, scored
the first run on a wild pitch.
Slattery, who started the contest
at shortstop, scored on the same
play following a throwing error
by the catcher. Slattery, who
reached firstbase on a walk, also
hit a double to left field with two
outs in the bottom of the fifth,
which was Monson's only other
base hit in the game.
In the top of the third inning,
Kavrakis walked with one out
and first baseman Adam Kerr
belted a double to the gap in left
center with two outs, putting
runners at second and third.
Riel escaped that threat by
getting the next batter to hit a
ground ball to second baseman
Jeff Pardo for the final out.
Biel left the game in the next
inning and everything fell apart
for Monson. Agawam scared
nine runs in their final four at -
bats of the game.
The visitors took a 3-2 lead in
the top of the fourth.
Shortstop Joe Oliver, whds
going to be playing college base-
ball at Me next year, hita lead-
off double to left field. He scored
Agawa6s first run on a sacrifice
flyby Grenier. Then catcher Matt
O'Keefe and Kavrakis, who both
walked, scored the tying and go-
ahead runs on wild pitches.
A bases -loaded walk by Gre-
nier and a sacrifice fly to cen-
ter by Kerr increased Agawarn s.
lead to 5-2 in the fifth inning.
After scoring an unearned
run in the sixth, Agawam plated
three more runs in its final at -
bats on an infield hit by second
baseman Steve Grasso Jr. and a
two -run triple by Oliver.
The two teams are scheduled
to meet for the second time on
July 5 at Agawam High School.
SUMMER i iron page to
very few Agawam shots in goal for
Minnechaug. Mary Kate Wysoc-
ki put one on her at the midpoint
from 15 yards, and Taylor DeGeorge
was on goal in the final 5 minutes,
but those were the best shots by the
Brownies in the first half.
The Falcons picked up the pace
after the break and just 5 minutes in,
Avery Fitzgerald took a pass from By -
aim Kuhn and put it past Alex Old-
enburg for a 2-0 lead. This came after
the Falcons had been putting up some
pressure in the Brownies end. Four
minutes later, it was Kuhn with a goal
from 5 yards out, in front of the goal.
Shea made a nice crossing pass to set
up the score. With 15 minutes to go in
the game, Caitlin Bonavita tookover in
goal for the Falcons and over the final
10 minutes, she faced some pressure
from the Brownies. They spent the
remainder of the game in the Min-
nechaug end. There were couple of
shots on goal, most notably, a 10-yard-
er from Allison Breton at 8 minutes
and one by DeGeorge in the final 2
minutes. Bonavita stopped them both
and Minnechaug had the 3-0 win.
Summer soccer, while not as in-
tense as the varsity games played in
the fall, is still important. The return-
ees £or the upcoming season use this
time to not only keep in shape, but
the maintain the skills and competi-
tive juices. Both teams came in to this
game with 3-0 records. uhe Brownies
had beaten Monson, Hoosac Valley
and Lenox previously. The matchup
with Minnechaug was their first ven-
ture with a Division l team. As for the
Falcons, their three wins came against
East Longmeadow, Longmeadow and
Westfield, all Division I foes.
In 2017, the Falcons were the
Western Massachusetts runners-up
in Division L ' losing in the finals
to West Springfield by a 1-0 score.
Minnechaug went 13-4-4 overall
and placed second in the Coombs
Division behind West Side, with a
5-1-2 league record. Agawam played
in the Kurty Fielding, going 4-4-2.
The Brownies were 7-8-3 overall and
missed out on the postseason. The
teams met once in the regular season
and played to a 0-0 tie.
While the high school coaches
must keep their distance during the
summer season, both teams are well
coached by some very dedicated par-
ents. At the helm for the Falcons are
Bob Bollard and Laura Kuhn. For the
Brownies, it is Colleen Wysocki and
Carrie Kelley.
