Council OKs next step toward new WTA
By Amy Porter aporter@thereminder.com
WESTFIELD — The City Council voted 12-0 on April 2 to approve the submission of a statement of interest to the Massachusetts School Building Authority for a new Westfield Technical Academy building, with one councilor, Nicholas Morganelli, Jr., absent.
Westfield School Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski said the district is not going forward with its earlier plan to build a comprehensive school incorporating both high schools. “Our plan shifted after the significant investments made at Westfield High School over the last 18 months,” he said.
During public participation before the council discussion, WTA aviation students Kiera Jacquier and Skylar Emmelman promoted a new building. They said they had spent the past few days looking at the problems in the facility. “In the winters, it is very, very cold; we have to layer up. In the summers, there is no AC.” They listed limited access to bathrooms, toilets that are not usable, poor supplies and sink spouts barely working.
The students said in a lot of the walls, there are large holes that can’t be painted over and are falling apart. The ceilings leak, and there are buckets in the hallway, missing ceiling tiles and chunks missing in the floor. Other failings include a limited number of electrical outlets throughout many of the classrooms and shops, a ceiling too low in the gymnasium for volleyball and elevators that shut down.
“Overall, the school is fall-
ing apart; we want to see it grow in the future,” said Jacquier and Emmelman.
School Committee member Kathleen Hillman implored the Council to vote for the SOI. “Our students deserve a good, healthy place to work. We have beautiful programs; they deserve a good building too,” she said.
Jeffrey Amanti, vice president of Advance Manufacturing and chair of the WTA Advisory Committee, said WTA is known as one of the best trade schools in the state, with nationally recognized top-of-the-line programs. He talk
ed about the manufacturing shop’s relevance, noting that aircraft and missile guidance components the students built are being deployed to the Middle East right now.
“These students need a school and a facility to match the abilities they have there. They need a facility to match their skills, then the sky is the limit for these talented students,” Amanti said.
Councilor Ralph Figy read two letters he had received into the public comment; the first from Tina Gorman, special project coordinator and past director for Council on Aging, who said she hoped the council would seriously consider the request. “As the former director, I know all too well the process from the need of a new building to groundbreaking. In my 20 years at the COA, I had the privilege of successfully coordinating with programs at WTA,” Gorman wrote, citing her work with electrical wiring, graphic arts, culinary arts, horticulture and Allied Health.
“The students and faculty do an
amazing job in a less-than-ideal educational environment. We can do so much more, just as we did at the Senior Center,” Gorman said.
Resident Ephraim Luna also sent an email that was read into the record by Figy. He questioned the transparency of the SOI for a new technical school and whether it was actually for a new comprehensive school.
Luna referred to Westfield’s tax increase of 6.5% last year, added to increases in trash disposal and water, among other services.
“Let’s be rational and base this presentation on rational numbers,” Luna wrote, asking, “Is the SOI for a new technical academy or a new comprehensive school.”
During his presentation before the vote, Czaporowski began by addressing the question. “To
be clear, this SOI is for Westfield Technical Academy. Given the work happening with Westfield High School and other things, it would not make sense to do a larger school,” Czaporowski said. He told the Council that the request must be submitted to the Massachusetts School Building Authority by April 17, and the Council must vote to approve the project before submission. “Once selected, we will need funding for a feasibility study, and then it will go to the ballot,” he said.
“We have a building that’s aging poorly at this point,” Czaporowski said. The upper campus was built in 1931, the lower campus in 1962, and the connector in 1994, which he said was in the worst

Sheriff’s Department to halt Congamond Lakes patrols
By Cliff Clark cclark@thereminder.com
SOUTHWICK — Hampden
County Sheriff Nick Cocchi announced on March 25 the commonwealth was withholding $26 million in funding, which is forcing him to make significant cuts to the department’s budget, including eliminating water safety patrols on Congamond Lakes.
“It will be going away unless the town wants to contract with the Sheriff’s Department,” said Police Chief Rhett Bannish about the elimination of the patrols.
Despite losing the Sheriff’s Department patrols, Bannish said the department will continue its own.
“We’ll do what we have to do to keep our officers on the water,” he said.
On March 25, Cocchi announced a “potentially multiphase” plan to reduce spending on public safety programs not
currently funded by another municipality or organization, which will include reducing 50 of the department’s positions to save up to $4 million.
For the last two years, the sheriff deputies have patrolled the three Great Ponds of Congamond Lakes Friday through Sunday between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Bannish said.
In fact, the deputies are sworn in as Southwick police officers to allow them to issue citations for violations on the ponds or make arrests for more serious offenses like boating while intoxicated, and as first responders if an emergency occurs on the water.
Bannish said it was too soon to tell what effect losing the patrols might have on water safety.
“We’ll have to see what happens,” he said.
The department does have a boat it uses for patrols, but it is typically only on weekends.
“We schedule them for certain
hours,” Bannish said, but added that there are occasions when the boat will be launched late at night “to keep people honest.”
This summer, Bannish is planning on having the department boat in the water on the weekends, and he expects the Massachusetts Environmental Police will patrol every so often.
It, like many other law enforcement agencies across the commonwealth, is also short of personnel.
Staffing at the department has been an issue for several years, which makes it more difficult to man the boats, and there are also budgetary concerns.
However, two new officers started in December, and some of them have expressed an interest in using the boat for patrols more often, Bannish said.
Hampden County Sheriff Nick Cocchi announces significant cuts to his department on March 25, including the elimination of patrols on Congamond Lakes.
Two officers are needed for the boat, which was purchased three years ago to replace an older boat, which only needed one officer to operate. Bannish said the new boat is bigger and needs two officers to operate safely. Cocchi’s announcement followed a report issued by the state Office of the Inspector General in February that concluded the commonwealth’s long-standing process of funding county sheriffs and their jails was “opaque,

chaotic and deeply flawed.” The IG’s report was called for after the majority of Massachusetts’ 14 sheriffs requested more than $100 million to cover spending over their budgets. Only Nantucket and Norfolk County Sheriff’s offices spent within their means every year, according to

Southwick answers lawsuit for alleged water overbilling
By Cliff Clark cclark@thereminder.com
SPRINGFIELD — After Southwick’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a limited liability company that owns and operates Southwick Village, the town answered the original complaint in Hampden Superior Court on March 27, denying it overcharged the assisted living facility.
In the original complaint, Southwick Care LLC, doing business as Southwick Village, alleged the town breached its contract with the company because it overcharged it $333,393, when it should have been charged $40,798 between November 2020 and April 2025 for using 5.1 million gallons of water.
However, the town charged Southwick Care for 46.1 million gallons of water.
According to the complaint, the town overcharged Southwick
Care by adding a “0” to the end of the actual water meter readings, causing it to be charged for an extra 10 million gallons per bill, totaling 40 million gallons, which Ryan K. O’Hara of Bacon Wilson LLC answered on behalf of the town on March 27.
“Town is without sufficient information to admit or deny the allegations herein, therefore, denied, leaving SC to proof of same,” according to the town’s response.
Southwick Care also alleged the town improperly charged its water usage at a higher Tier 3 rate, despite the Water Commission capping the rate for multiunit residential rental units at a lower Tier 2 rate in November 2023, which the town answered.
The town’s answer to that allegation was identical to its initial denial that it was without “sufficient information … therefore, denied.”
The town did acknowledge
Southwick Care paid the bills, as the original complaint alleged.
Southwick Care also alleged in the complaint that was filed by Lauren F. Olanoff of the Springfield-based law firm, Egan, Flanagan & Cohen, that its demand for reimbursement from the town had gone “unanswered,” which the town denied in its answer.
The town also said it didn’t have “sufficient information” to answer Southwick Care’s allegation that it used 5.1 million gallons of water between November 2020 and April 2025 and that it should have been charged $40,798.
That the town charged Southwick Care for $374,191 for 46.1 million gallons of water at the Tier 3 rate, the town: “Admitted insofar as referenced billing and payments speak for themselves” but was without “sufficient information to admit or deny the allegations.”
Southwick Care, in the origi-
nal complaint, said it was entitled to interest of at least 12% from the earliest payment it made to the town, citing state law.
The town answered that the interest on the overpayments “contained assertions of law not requiring a response,” which means the assertion by Southwick Care is a legal argument, characterization, or conclusion rather than a factual allegation, and, as such, does not require a formal admit/ deny response.
In the original complaint, Southwick Care alleged the overcharging by the town constituted a breach of contract to supply it water at the posted and agreed rate, and that it suffered “significant financial damages,” which the town denied.
The town also listed 14 defenses it may use to defend itself, including that Southwick Care’s lawsuit is legally insufficient even if all
the factual allegations are true.
Another defense by the town is that Southwick Care failed to exhaust all administrative remedies before filing the lawsuit. That argument was used in the town’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which was denied.
The town will also argue that Southwick Care waited too long to file the lawsuit, which unfairly harmed it, and that the lawsuit was filed after the statute of limitations expired.
And finally, the town will use as a defense that the $333,393 figure was not accompanied by a sworn affidavit from a person having knowledge of how that amount was calculated.
Southwick Care and the town both demand a jury trial to settle the case.
According to the case docket, a judgement is expected by November 2028.

Superintendent: reentry facility will have negative impact
By Amy Porter aporter@thereminder.com
WESTFIELD — Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski recently sent a letter to families addressing proactive steps that the Westfield Public School District is taking in the event that a plan to open a reentry facility at 182/184 Southampton Road moves forward.
In the letter, Czaporowski stated that the district is considering adding 15 to 20 exterior cameras at the Southampton Road and Westfield Intermediate schools.
Czaporowski said right now, Westfield Intermediate School has a half-time school resource officer, and the district is looking at how to expand that position and maintain police presence in and around the schools. The district is continuing to review and practice safety drills, and recently held ALICE — or Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate — drills at all the schools in the district, he said.
In addition, they are continuing monthly safety meetings

shape, and made of material not meant to last.
He said the district has done some work on the school in terms of capital planning. They have paved the upper parking lot, had a weight room upgrade and opened up space in manufacturing, thanks to a Capital Skills grant, one of several the school has received for different shops.
Other improvements have included a new telephone and intercom system, a front entrance concrete project done by students in partnership with MassDOT, new exterior doors and windows in 2012 and a Tiger’s Pride dining room upgrade in 2018.
On Feb. 19, the Council approved $637,791 from free cash to replace and repair four restrooms, but Czaporowski said there are six more to be done, and the ones in the upper campus are 95 years old.
Czaporowski said enrollment is at or near capacity at 550 students. There is no ability to
with the Westfield Police and Fire departments, along with the reentry facility, as a standing agenda item.
Czaporowski said he met with Westfield Police Chief Jerome Pitoniak to talk about what communication the district should put out to families about the steps they are taking.
“We wanted to be transparent about the situation and reassure families that Westfield Public Schools and the Westfield Police Department were working together. I want people to know why I sent the letter I sent, and that the district is opposed to this placement.”
Czaporowski said the location of the facility, which is being proposed by a nonprofit called Community Resources for Justice, puts an undue burden on the school district that will cost funds to implement stepped-up protocols at a time when school budgets are getting cut.
The proposed facility, if built, would be in close proximity to Southampton Road School and Westfield Interme-
add new programs due to lack of space, and they have had to open the teacher’s lounge and gym for student lunches. “During hot days in June, classrooms in the upper levels are moved to the auditorium,” he said.
Due to its aging facility, the school’s accreditation is at risk, Czaporowski said. In June of 2025, the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) voted to place the school on warning for the standard on learning resources, stating: “The existing facility no longer meets the demands of modern technical education. To address this, WTA will present a detailed, data-driven proposal to the Westfield Public Schools district advocating for a new, modern facility that better supports student learning and industry-aligned programming.”
“What we would like to do is submit this proposal to MSBA for a new Westfield Technical Academy, not only because a comprehensive school would be cost-prohibitive. With a new building, we would be able to accept all the students on the waiting list, and open up the opportunity to add other program-
diate School.
“We found out about it at the same time as everybody else, with no lead time at all,” he said. “I think the impact, not just on funding, [but] to students, families and the broader community is significant, and will impact Westfield Public Schools negatively. The whole city attends Westfield Intermediate School, not just the Southampton Road School. Families could opt for schools in other communities,” said Czaporowski.
He also made the point that kids walk to school. “I’m not convinced that any security promises from these folks satisfy our concerns. I wonder if any of the folks in charge of this reentry facility would want it near their child’s school,” he said.
Czaporowski said since he found out about the plan, he has advocated with local and state officials about the district’s strong opposition to the location of the reentry facility. “I do understand the value of our reentry programs, but locating this close to any school is ridiculous. I will continue to advocate strongly
ming,” Czaporowski said, listing HVAC, plumbing, cosmetology and farming, among the programs he would like to see added.
As to whether it is a school for 750 students and what it would look like, he said that is the purpose of the feasibility study. “A new Westfield Technical Academy is needed; our students deserve it,” Czaporowski said, adding there is no guarantee that the SOI will be accepted by the MSBA, and in fact, it is unlikely that it would be accepted in the first year of submission, but the district would keep going back. He said in the best case scenario, a new school would likely take eight to 10 years to realize.
During the discussion before the unanimous vote, Councilor Daniel Knapik said that in 2011 and 2014, the MSBA spent a lot of money on a green repair program at WTA. “We spent millions of dollars,” he said, but even at the time, the observation by the state was that the building should be demolished and was not worth saving. Coming out of the recession, Knapik said there was not an option to do anything different but repair it, adding that the repairs bought the city 15 years, and will probably last another five to seven years.
“We have a lot of significant decisions to make in a very short amount of time in the city. In this particular one, I’m glad to see this is going to advance,” Knapik said. He said he had a graduate from the WTA aviation program last year who went directly to the FAA Academy and is now an air traffic controller in New Hampshire, and

Of all the sheriffs’ outfits, Cocchi’s department asked for the most money from the Legis-
for the relocation of this facility, and to advocate on behalf of our students and schools.”
“It’s about our kids. As a community, it’s our responsibility to do anything to protect them, and this facility does not do that. I need them to know the district is not in favor of this,” Czaporowski said.
The day after the communication went out from the superintendent, the decision was made to delay the opening of the reentry facility until the summer. Czaporowski said he is continuing to speak to legislators. “We’re hopeful that with continued advocacy that this reentry facility will be located somewhere else away from any school.”
another one who is going to Embry Riddle University in the fall. “So it does graduate first-class children. There’s no question it does. And they do deserve a first-class building,” he said.
“The school was in need when I went there in 1984,” said Councilor James Adams. He asked for clarification on whether, if the vote passed, the question would go to the ballot in November or after the state accepts the project. He also asked if the district had a location in mind for a new school.
Czaporowski said there is land available at the airport, which he said would be great for the aviation program and proximity to area businesses. “We would probably submit multiple parcels of land,” he said. Adams said the city just went through this with the Police Department, and finding three acres was almost impossible. “I’ll certainly support this. We’ll leave it up to the voters; they’ll be paying for it. What do we do; we don’t have a choice,” he said.
Figy said last year he voted against submitting the SOI. “Considering all that has transpired in a year, I’m going to be a yes. Our kids do deserve better,” he said.
Councilor Karen Fanion asked when the question would go to the ballot.
“Typically, if they get accepted into the MSBA, it would go on the ballot the next November,” Czaporowski said, adding it could get selected anywhere from one to four years. “That is when the funding would need to be allocated, and it would go to polls the follow-
lature: $26 million more than the $102 million the state initially gave it for annual expenses, the inspector general’s report found, according to masslive.com.
Robert Rizzuto, spokesperson for the department, said the same report pointed toward the State House as the cause of
ing November.”
Councilor Dan Allie suggested that the city seek national funding for the school as well. “It’s happening now. We’ve done so well with our business partners,” responded Czaporowski.
Councilor Cindy Harris agreed that it is a phenomenal school. “I want to address the economic aspect,” she said, adding that the citizens have seen so many increases in taxes, water and life in general. “I want the people to understand [that] starting it is not going to cost anything, is that correct? If we all approve this beginning of the process, there will be no tax increases for the citizens unless they vote on it at this time until this reaches the ballot,” Harris said, adding, “We are saying you can proceed with this, the paper trail basically to get into the possibility of getting a new school, but the citizens have the final decision whether or not the school goes through or not.”
“Does a yes vote require an appropriation,” asked Councilor Kristen Mello, to which Czaporowski said no. Mello also asked when the money for the feasibility study would come into play.
“They would have to accept us first. Then we would have to come up with funding for a feasibility study. If they select us, we would find a way collectively to move forward,” Czaporowski said.
Councilor William Onyski then read the resolution to approve submission of the SOI, and the motion to approve was unanimous, followed by applause in the gallery.
the problem.
“As noted by the Office of the Inspector General, this situation stems from years of the Legislature’s deficit-driven funding practices dating back to the abolition of county government in 1999,” said Rizzuto in the announcement.
Westfield Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski, pictured here at a March School Committee meeting, believes a proposed new reentry facility on Southampton Road will have a negative impact on nearby schools.

State, feds staffing up for benefits fraud fight
By Ella Adams State House News Service
BOSTON — With federal prosecutors pledging that anti-fraud investigations will lead to results soon, state health and human services officials are adding more staff to those who are already guarding against public benefit fraud in anticipation of an increase in federal audits.
“We just expect that the amount of audits and requests that we’re going to get is probably going to double to triple over the next few months,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kiame Mahaniah told lawmakers at a budget hearing in Clinton on March 27.
Warren Republican state Rep. Todd Smola asked fraud-related questions during the Ways and Means Committee hearing, referring to a recently-established Task Force to Eliminate Fraud led by Vice President JD Vance.
“Massachusetts is on the radar screen,” Smola said. “I’m a little bit discouraged to see some of the commentary from the governor relative to the level of cooperation that’s going to happen here.”
The Trump administration is targeting Medicaid fraud, and the House Energy and Commerce Committee requested information related to Medicaid from 10 states, including Massachusetts, California, Colorado, Maine, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Washington. Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie’s office stated that “each of these states displayed concerning cases of Medicaid fraud over the last several years.”
Healey has maintained that MassHealth, the Department of Transitional Assistance and other agencies have strong program integrity operations.
“If we have nothing to hide, relative to program integrity and how our programs get rolled out in this commonwealth, then we should have no problem cooperating,” Smola said. He asked Mahaniah for assurance that the state will cooperate with the federal government.
“We’re very proud of the amount of activities that we do under program integrity, in terms of both pre-paying — what we do in terms of monitoring our pre-pay through algorithms and making sure that there’s nothing weird showing up — and how we credential and monitor our vendors and our providers, but in also how we do audits and post-pay claim reviews,” Mahaniah replied.
“I think it’s unavoidable that we will be collaborating quite extensively with the federal government,” Mahaniah continued. “In terms of the way that the agencies and our secre-
tariats work, we are pretty much hand-in-glove in terms of how we administer these programs. The federal rules and regulations form the backbone of what we are allowed to do and how we do it through the 1115 waiver that MassHealth has.”
The state’s five-year MassHealth waiver expires at the end of 2027. MassHealth plans to submit a request to extend its waiver in late 2026. Among other changes surrounding Medicaid that will be ushered in under provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill, MassHealth will be required to check eligibility for certain members and require work, education or volunteering for some.
Mahaniah noted “up-staffing” within his secretariat to help with program integrity efforts after Smola asked if he needed anything from the Legislature to help.
“We just need to have the right amount of people and right amount of technology to be able to answer these requests,” Mahaniah said. “They tend to have two or three weeks’ turnaround, so just making sure that we don’t have any choke points in terms of staff and resources.”
Mahaniah added that MassHealth Undersecretary Mike Levine reminds him that in “normal conditions,” they have between 10 and 12 audits ongoing. “Given just the political nature of things, we expect to undergo many more audits than usual, and you’ve read in the media that we’ve had some back and forth,” Mahaniah said. “But so far, we have been completely open in terms of what we do.”
The deadline to respond to the Trump administration’s Medicaid-related request was March 17. The state sent a 41page letter, signed by Mahaniah, in response to Guthrie, Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chair John Joyce and Health Subcommittee Chair Morgan Griffith.
The letter included answers to questions including those about specific program integrity measures in place to prevent fraud, waste and abuse in the state’s Medicaid system; the process for making criminal referrals for suspected fraud to law enforcement; the programs that have seen abnormal increases in recent years; site visits; and details about Medicaid overpayments and recoveries.
Mahaniah wrote that program controls include analytics, pre-pay review and post-pay provider audits, and coordination with law enforcement. The letter states that over the last three years, those fraud, waste and abuse prevention activities “have included over 1,200 individual provider audits and claim
record reviews as well as 88 algorithmic claim data reviews,” many of which recur annually.
MassHealth has a designated Audit Response and Fraud Enforcement team, per the letter, which receives allegations of fraud from staff and external stakeholders, submits referrals to the state’s Medicaid Fraud Division and keeps MassHealth leadership informed of those referrals.
“MassHealth refers credible allegations of fraud to MFD and implements payment suspensions. When MassHealth imposes a payment suspension, it issues a notice of withhold to the provider, directs its accounting systems to stop payments, and instructs MassHealth managed care plans to suspend payments to the provider,” the letter said, explaining steps taken to sanction or disenroll fraudulent Medicaid providers.
The letter also inquired about overpayments. In 2025, total overpayments included $165.3 million, Mahaniah wrote. Those overpayments exclude fraud-related payments that are reported by the division, he clarified. At an earlier budget hearing in March, Transitional Assistance Commissioner Michael Cole also made a distinction between fraud and the overpayments and underpayments accounted for within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program payment error rate, another metric the federal government is focused on lowering.
Since provider audits and recoveries can span across years, the recovery and recoupment totals of improper Medicaid overpayments won’t match with the identified overpayments, the letter said. In 2025, there were $117.1 million in total recoveries and recoupments. The majority of MassHealth’s controls operate before payment, according to the letter, which means “a significant share of improper payments are stopped before dollars go out the door, ensuring that they never have to enter the payment recovery pipeline.”
Since January 2021, Mahaniah wrote, MassHealth has implemented 105 payment suspensions as part of its program integrity program.
U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Leah Foley has committed
to rooting out fraud in the state’s Medicaid system alongside her federal counterparts. She announced on March 26 that Assistant U.S. Attorneys Philip Mallard and Mark Grady will work as fraud coordinators to lead a new Benefit and Voter Fraud Team, which her office said was created “in response to the rampant fraud being uncovered in Massachusetts.”
According to her office, Foley has charged 15 individuals with nearly $9 million in fraud since December 2025, including SNAP benefit fraud and MassHealth fraud.
“It has become apparent that there are insufficient guardrails in place in Massachusetts to address the rampant benefit fraud across the state. It is time to hold criminals stealing taxpayer benefits accountable. This has gone on far too long and the buck stops with me,” Foley said in a March 26 press release.
Foley described the fraud her office has uncovered as the “tip of the iceberg,” adding, “We have dozens of investigations in the pipeline that will come to fruition in the coming weeks.”
Asked on Monday after a closed-door meeting with legislative leadership for her reaction to Foley’s new team, Gov. Maura Healey said, “Any fraud that’s out there, I support going after and stopping and shutting down.”
“I did that as attorney general. I continue to do that as governor through the program integrity work of our agencies, where if we have suspicions of fraud, we immediately take action, we report those to the attorney general’s office. We report those to the U.S. attorney’s office,” Healey continued. “I also am not quite sure what the U.S. attorney was meaning by a new fraud unit -- there is existing within that office already, a Medicaid Fraud Unit. I mean, as attorney general, my Medicaid Fraud Unit used to work directly with that one.”
Asked by a reporter if she thinks the state is being unfairly targeted, Healey said, “What do you think?” and did not answer the question.

SOUTHWICK
Dog park supporters address roadway impact concerns
By Cliff Clark cclark@thereminder.com
SOUTHWICK — The vice chair of the Friends of the Southwick Dog Park attended the Select Board meeting on March 30 to answer one question raised by Select Board member Douglas Moglin. The question was about how the construction of the organization’s proposal to build a dog park might affect the town’s plans to connect Sam West Road and Hudson Drive.
“Let me be very clear. Friends of Southwickd Dog Park fully supports the town having access to this property for a future road that has been part of this project from the very beginning,” said Keith Deyo, who serves as the vice chair of the Friends of the Southwick Dog Park.
In early February, the Friends of the Southwick Dog Park announced it was working to build a dog park on 32 acres of property gifted to it by Tilcon Minerals at 57 Hudson Road, and when it’s completed, to give it to the town.
“What we’re presenting is not simply a parcel of land, but a complete project … 32 acres preserved, a fully funded dog park, additional rail, trail park and solar energy. Solar-generated electricity, credits to offset costs and a clear pathway for a future road connection,” Deyo said.
At a Select Board meeting after the Friends’ announcement,
Moglin was looking for answers on how the park might affect the Sam West Road/Hudson Drive connector project.
“We’ve been doing the layout, we already have gotten significant grants and other funding for that project,” Moglin said at the meeting.
In April 2023, the Select Board awarded a contract with Fuss & O’Neill for design and engineering work on the connector using a $134,500 grant from MassDevelopment, which was extended in February 2025.
For over 10 years, the town has been applying for grant funding to complete the connector.
“To me, [the connector] is very, very important to the future development in the town of Southwick for that industrial park,” Moglin said, adding that the idea behind the connector was to allow the park to expand and attract “good, clean businesses that employ a lot of people.”
Hudson Drive is the primary road for the town’s industrial corridor and is blocked by a fence just south of Slab Brook. The roadway continues to Tilcon’s gravel pit and solar array, where it dead-ends.
That means that all tractor-trailers, and the vehicles of employees who work at the nine businesses on Hudson Drive, have only one way in and out, via Feeding Hills Road — Route 57, which Deyo addressed at the board meeting on Monday.
“We understand the concerns about long-term access, so I want to state clearly we have no intention of ever preventing the town from completing the roadway in any way,” Deyo said.
He also said the dog project needed to be a collaboration between the Friends and the town.
“As we move through this process, we’re open to working with the board and Town Council on a framework to provide clarity around the future access while allowing the full project to be evaluated in its entirety,” Deyo said.
When announcing the project, Deyo said the plan was to build a park that would have four fenced areas for dogs, including a senior-friendly area, which would use only 10 of the gifted acres. Planned for the remainder of the parcel is a 22-acre area that will be called The Wilds, which will be a natural preserved forest, riverfront and wetlands that feature animal habitats for community exploration and enjoyment.
What Deyo didn’t address was how the special permit that Tilcon Minerals operates under might be affected by the gift, which Moglin also had questions about.
“The fact is, this was land that was part of a special permit that is still running because it’s still under active excavation and under the special permit. I believe even when this was approved back in

This is the proposed layout of Dillinger’s Dog Park that the nonprofit ,Friends of Southwick Dog Park, Inc., plans to build off Hudson Drive on 32 acres. It was gifted by Tilcon Minerals, Inc. Select Board member Douglas Moglin has “concerns” about how the project might affect the proposed Sam West Road/Hudson Drive connector that will bisect the property.

Winter of 2025-26 may go down as Southwick’s costliest
By Cliff Clark cclark@thereminder.com
SOUTHWICK — Even if the town gets hit with another snow-
storm or not another flake drops, the cost of keeping the roads clear of snow and ice will go down as the costliest in at least decade. “It was a good winter,” said
DPW Director Rich Bosak. “One of the snowiest winters we’ve had in a while.” It may go down as the snowiest — over 57 inches were record-
ed — but there’s little doubt that it will probably be remembered as the most expensive in at least a decade, with a total of $473,790 spent on the season.
He said this winter had many kinds of storms.
“They were not the easy ones in like a little bit here and there,” he said.
“Great job on the snow plowing and clearing … and the workers,” said Select Board member Diane Gale at the board’s meeting two weeks ago.
Bosak thanked the DPW crews and the private contractors.
“We can’t do it without them,” he said.
In February, when Bosak was briefing the Select Board, he had yet to get the final totals for the late January storm and lasted over two days, he said it was going to be a “big one.”
Between Jan. 25-26, 18 inches of snow was recorded, which was nearly half of the town’s average annual snowfall, which is 40 inches.
“It was the first storm of this magnitude in about 10 years,” Bosak said.
And to clear it, it cost $83,645; $14,172 in employee overtime pay, $56,963 for contractor plows, and $12,507 for salt. According to Bosak, 121 tons of salt were used.
In the last 10 years, the town has not spent over $325,000 and as little as $65,000, in 2024, on snow and ice removal, with an average of $238,000, according to the town’s Finance Committee’s annual report.
Each month, Bosak has submitted reports on each storm.
The first storm on Dec. 2, which finished with five inches of snow, cost the town $32,478. That included $12,530 for 121 tons of salt, 76 hours of overtime for $2,410 and $16,537 for private contractors.
Six inches of snow fell on
Dec. 26, costing the town a total of $43,896, including $12,530 for 121 tons of salt, 192 hours of overtime for $8,722 and $22,642 for the contractors. There was also a snow event on Dec. 29, leaving behind two inches of snow, which cost $19,094, including $7,570 for 73 tons of salt, $2,844 for overtime and $8,680 for contractors.
On Jan. 1, one-and-a-half inches of snow fell cost the town $19,804 to clear it, including $7,899 for 76 tons of salt, $3,224 for overtime and $8,690 for contractors.
On Feb. 7, an inch of snow cost $25,644 to clear, including $4,716 in overtime, $8,420 for contractors and $12,507 for 121 tons of salt. The cost was driven up by the windy conditions that caused drifting onto roads already cleared.
On Feb. 22, eight inches of snow fell, which cost $60,488, including $8.686 for overtime, $37,977 for contractors and $13,824 for 134.5 tons of salt. This storm was the predicted blizzard that never hit this area of the commonwealth, but the wind again caused drifting. “Crews were out all night and into Monday evening to finish plowing,” Bosak wrote in the report.
On Feb. 25, three inches of snow fell, which cost $22,956 to clear, including $2,422 in overtime, $9,342 for contractors and $11,191 for 109 tons of salt.
Just an inch and a half of snow fell on March 3, which cost $13,570, including $1,764 for overtime, $1,602 for contractors and $10,203 for 99 tons of salt. Each year during the Special Town Meeting just before the Annual Town Meeting in May, residents must vote to fund whatever deficit there is in the DPW’s snow and ice budget line item, and each

Clinic for Westfield Wildwater Race takes place this Saturday
By Amy Porter aporter@thereminder.com
HUNTINGTON — The Westfield River Wildwater Race on April 18 is rapidly approaching. Registration is open at westfieldriver.org/racer, and fees are $45 per person with rates increasing on Monday, April 13, to $75 per person. The last day to register is Wednesday, April 15.
On race day, Saturday, April 18, the Expert Race will kick off at 9:30 a.m. from Knightville Dam and end at the Route 20 pull off across from the Hilltown Community Health Center. The Classic Race will start at 11 a.m. from the Route 112 MassDOT maintenance yard in the center of Huntington and end in Woronoco center. There will be classes for solo canoes, tandem canoes, kayaks and SUPs.
There will be one more instructional clinic on Saturday, April 11, for racers to learn more about proper paddling clothing, canoe setup, proper paddling technique, self rescues after capsizes, how to correctly run the river and navigate the rapids, and how to portage across the two dams.
“The clinics are really important to us to educate and prepare people who are not yet ready,” said Race Director Harry Rock. Start time for the clinic is noon at the Classic Race staging area next to the MassDOT maintenance yard by the green Route 112 bridge off of Freight Yard Road in Huntington. Participants need to set up their shuttle ahead of time by parking at the Classic Race finish line on Woronoco Road by the steel bridge in Woronoco. Check the Westfield River Facebook page for a map showing where to park or email questions to races@westfieldriver.org.
There is no charge for the clinic for registered racers. There is a $10 insurance fee for non-reg-

istered people who must also sign an insurance liability waiver. Participants must sign a liability waiver when they register for the races at westfieldriver.org.
Rock said all participants are reminded that the Westfield River Wildwater Races is a high-risk activity with whitewater, rapids and cold water and air conditions. Paddlers assume their own responsibility for knowing their personal physical conditioning, health concerns, wearing proper clothing and their experience paddling rapids, including swimming rapids and self rescuing their canoe or kayak if you capsize.
He said the clinics are a great idea for people planning to participate in the races, especially for the first time. “We know that a lot of the people who come to this race have limited experience in paddling or don’t know how to paddle rapids,” he said.
The clinics start with an onland presentation about the various challenges paddlers will encounter and are great in helping to improve general knowledge. “We have people who come to the first clinic who are totally unprepared. When they come back the next week, it’s night and day. They’re outfitted — it’s a whole different ballgame when they’re outfitted,” Rock said.
Rock said his greatest concern is that people don’t come dressed properly. “Out of everything that I ever worry about, it’s about hypothermia. The water is running at 36 or 38 degrees, it’s just melted snow. If it’s like last year, 80 degrees on the day of the race, you don’t worry about it. It’s not a question of if they’re going to flip over, it’s a question of when,” he said.
“We go rain or shine on race day. Even if you don’t flip over, there’s paddle splash and wave splash. If you don’t have any sun, that water is cold,” he said, adding when the combined air and

Another was dumping four inches of topsoil into the disturbed areas, adding 1,000 pounds of lime and grass seed.
During the permitting process, there were concerns raised about the Great Brook Aquifer and whether the mining operation might threaten it.
There was a plan included in the permit that the property would become a tree farm and wildlife habitat, with drawings included, with a staff member at the Lower Pioneer Valley Planning Agency writing: “This should settle all concerns. There’s no better protection for an aquifer.”

Not included in that $453.507 already used is the time DPW crews spend nearly every afternoon after it snows on spot treatments in troublesome areas, usually shaded, that don’t completely thaw.
water temperature is less than 100 degrees, paddlers need to strongly consider wearing protective clothing.
Rock recommended not wearing cotton. “Cotton kills. It absorbs water, is very heavy when wet and takes forever to dry and has no heat retention. However, wool or synthetic materials dry quickly and have a high heat retention — even when wet, they’ll keep you warm. We want to make sure people are warm — and able to enjoy themselves. If you have the right clothing, you don’t even worry about what the weather is,” he said.
“LL Bean always states that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing, which is very true. It is also widely known that the key to survival in the outdoors is staying dry.
And likewise, because paddling is inherently a wet sport, the key to taking care of yourself in damp and chilly conditions is the ability to remain warm.”
After the safety presentation, a team of expert paddlers get participants into the water, where they will accompany them for a practice run of the seven-mile Classic Race, ending at the steel bridge in Woronoco. Rock said there will be a lead paddler, sweep paddler and other people intermixed in the group. He said they will move as a group; if somebody goes into the water, the group will stop.
For the clinic, participants need to set up their shuttles at Woronoco Road and park on the side headed down the hill on the right. They need to make sure to have dry clothes to change into
when done, and food and drink for on and off the river, he said.
“We could be on the river for two to three hours. We move as a group; if someone flips, we stop,” he said, adding that he was shocked at how fast the group he was following in a car moved last year. “It’s all based on people’s ability.”
“Paddling on the river is a truly fun and enjoyable experience, and if approached correctly with the right equipment and clothing, it will become an outdoor activity that you and your family will want to participate in for years to come,” Rock said. “We want everyone to have a smile on their face when they start and a smile on their face when they end; so they’re filled with memories when they come back next year.”

Elks Lodge honors citizens of the year, installs new officers
By Amy Porter aporter@thereminder.com
WESTFIELD — The Westfield-West Springfield Lodge of Elks #1481 on 5 Franklin St. held a ceremony on March 24 to present special awards to outstanding citizens and members, and to install officers for the 2026-2027 year.
Outgoing Exalted Ruler Milt Vazquez presented the 2025-26 Citizen of the Year award to Kathleen Palmer. “Describing Kathleen’s contributions is a bit like trying to summarize a Broadway season in a single Playbill — it’s ambitious, slightly overwhelming and guaranteed to leave something out,” said Vazquez in presenting the award.
He said Palmer spent many years shaping young minds as a second-grade teacher for Westfield Public Schools, and on the stage, directing the summer theater group at Franklin Elementary School, and spending over 20 years leading the Parks and Recreation theater camp. “Kathleen didn’t just direct plays, she wrote them, several, in fact, with six specifically for children.”
Palmer has been active throughout the community and as a member of the Westfield Woman’s Club, Westfield Theatre Group and Westfield Historical Commission. “Apparently, free time is something she read about once and decided wasn’t for her. In short, Kathleen Palmer has spent her life educating minds, inspiring creativity, building confidence, and strengthening our community — one student, one performance and one standing ovation at a time,” Vazquez said.
“It is an honor to receive this award from an organization that has deep roots and commit-
ments to the community of Westfield,” Palmer said after receiving the award.
The Elks also used the occasion to present the 2024-25 Citizen of the Year award to Bill Westerlind, who, in 2015, founded ArtWorks Westfield, a volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to bringing together artists, businesses, and community members through music, literature, visual arts and cultural events.
“It’s a cultural movement.
Thanks to Bill’s tireless dedication, Westfield has become a place where murals bloom, poetry lives, music flows, and artists actually talk to one another — without yelling about whose turn it is to use the gallery space,” said Vazquez.
He said in addition, Westerlind is constantly lifting up other organizations, whether it’s churches, schools, downtown
shops and restaurants. “He’s like Westfield’s unofficial ambassador of goodwill ... and the arts ... and maybe even sandwiches, if you’ve ever followed his social media shout-outs to local eateries,” Vazquez said.
“Bill created a hub where creativity meets community, and then added live music and food trucks. His efforts have created not just events, but connections, the kind that make a community feel like family,” he added.
Elks Officer of the Year was awarded to James Hamilton, who was described as not only holding the trustee position, but embodying it. “His hours ensuring every routine task is completed are endless, and then he goes above and beyond to take on extra projects. In addition, he never hesitates to step up to help with anything needed to make our activities and events go smoothly,”
Vazquez said. Elk of the Year went to Peter Crepeau, a 40-year member of the lodge, for his extensive history of dedication to sharing his knowledge, building and mechanical skills, and financial support. Vazquez said Crepeau was instrumental in securing, overseeing and supporting the recent major roof repair to the building.
The Grand Exalted Ruler Outstanding Service Commendation was given to Patricia O’Connor, Lodge secretary. “If dedication were measured in time, she’d have already logged enough hours for several lifetimes. But what truly sets Pat apart is not just the hours she puts in, it’s her unceasing devotion to keeping this lodge functioning properly,” Vazquez said. ”If something is happening here, Pat is either organizing it, documenting it or supporting it. She is the steady hand, the organized mind and the driving force behind so much of what we do.
“Quite simply, this lodge runs better because Pat refuses to let it run any other way. We recog-
nize not just a secretary, but the backbone of our lodge, a tireless volunteer, and someone who truly embodies the spirit of service,” Vazquez said.
The new Lodge officers were installed by the officers of the North Adams Lodge #487, with Past District Deputy Douglas Merrick acting as Grand Exalted Ruler of the Day. Also in attendance were several state and Grand Lodge officers, including District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler Elizabeth Manns from North Adams and Massachusetts Elks Association President-Elect David Charbonneau from Auburn Lodge 2118.
The newly installed officers are Exalted Ruler Gary Fontaine, Esteemed Leading Knight Jeffrey Haluch, Esteemed Loyal Knight John Pellan, Esteemed Lecturing Knight Joseph Donald Loiselle, Lodge Secretary Patricia O’Connor, Lodge Treasurer Lewana Dyer, Chaplain Mary Levesque, Inner Guard Sue Haluch, Tiler Betsy Grasso and Esquire Sam Dyer.

Campaign aims to secure assisted listening device system
By Trent Levakis tlevakis@thereminder.com
NORTHAMPTON — Those with auditory and visual disabilities may soon have the necessary equipment to fully enjoy live performances at the Academy of Music Theatre.
The Northampton performance venue has launched an April fundraising campaign to help secure funding for the purchase and installation of the building’s first assisted listening device system.
The “Let’s Hear It!” campaign aims to raise $10,000 during the month of April, which will then enable the Academy to acquire the equipment needed to provide assistance to more than 30 patrons at one time during any event on the historic Northampton stage.
Academy Executive Director Debra J’Anthony said she is confident this project will accommodate audience members with auditory and visual disabilities who have previously been unable to fully experience performances, or who have opted not to attend live performances because of the lack of equipment.
“We had visited providing assisted listening devices, and in the begging, there were not as many options to accommodate the variety of programs that we offer, and it has only been recently, over the last 10 years or so, that we are able to provide a device that could cover film, band and theater,” J’Anthony told Reminder Publishing
J’Anthony said that enhancing accessibility at the theatre has been a priority for over a decade now, as seen through the wheelchair accessible additions made to the building inside and out over that time. In the last several years, the Academy tried to secure grant funds to help bridge the accessibility gap, but had no luck.
But now, with The Beveridge Family Foundation already contributing $2,000 to the campaign, and the Academy itself contributing another $2,500, the theatre is now asking the public to rally around the cause and help them close this campaign in April.
“We’re reaching out to the community to say, we would really like to provide a fuller experience for our patrons [who] require an assisted listening device. Not only those with hearing disabilities, but also, we are newly collaborating with Valley Eye Radio to hopefully provide, for certain shows, descriptions of what is going on stage so they
can hear through the listening device,” added J’Anthony.
Valley Eye Radio is a nonprofit service for blind and visually impaired listeners with the mission of keeping Pioneer Valley neighbors informed and connected by being a 24/7 accessible source of local news. The Academy’s partnership with the service is an effort to expand its reach to local venues that bring in live performances. The hope is to provide live remote broadcasts and collaborative events that bring community storytelling and live performance directly to listeners.
“Partnerships like this one between the Academy and Valley Eye Radio reflect what’s best about our region — organizations coming together to remove barriers and make culture, learning and connection accessible to all,” said Valley Eye Radio Executive Director Chloe Collins.
The two organizations will coordinate efforts for select performances during the 2026-27 theatre season. Other venues or individuals interested in partnering with or volunteering for Valley Eye Radio can visit its website at valleyeyeradio.org for more information.
J’Anthony added that the Academy is also seeking community amplifier sponsors who want to get involved. She said they can reach out for more information by emailing development@aomtheatre.com.
“It is a very short campaign. We do hope to meet our goals and then purchase the devices in May at some point, and then have them installed hopefully by early June,” added J’Anthony. “We’re very grateful for the commu-
nity support.”
Anyone interested in donating to this campaign can visit the donation page on the Academy website at aomtheatre.com/ donate-lets-hear-it/ or email development@aomtheatre.com for more information.
