Southwick reserve officers retire By Hope E. Tremblay Assistant Managing Editor SOUTHWICK – Southwick Police Department reserve officers Keith Stomgren and Jesse Rizzo were honored last week for their years of service. The two men retired after 39 and 27 years, respectively. Police Chief Kevin A. Bishop said Stomgren began his career with the SPD in 1978 working in maintenance, then became a dispatcher and joined the reserve force in 1980. Bishop touted Stomgren’s “outstanding achievements and dedication” last week when Stomgren and Rizzo Southwick Reserve Officer Keith received certificates of appre- Stomgren, Police Chief Kevin A. ciation form the Southwick Bishop and Reserve Officer Jesse Rizzo Select Board. stand together after a recognition of Stomgren thanked every- the two reserve officers’ retirement. one and recalled the early (Photo by Hope E. Tremblay) years when he would bring his children with him to work on road details before school. Stomgren said he looked forward to retirement. “I’m going to get some things done that I’ve neglected the past 39 years,” he joked. Rizzo worked as a Connecticut corrections officer and auxiliary police officer in Springfield and West Springfield before joining the SPD in 1994 as a reserve officer. Bishop said he could always count on Rizzo. “He was one of my ‘Go-to’ guys,” he said, noting that when a police officer was out on medical leave Rizzo stepped in as a provisional police officer to help the town. Rizzo noted that since Bishop became chief last year, he sees smiles Food Fest Fun as he walks through the station. Tink Hartdegen hands Wendy Cottengim a beverage Friday night.

Bay State Wind included proposals for a 400MW and 800MW project. Bay State Wind’s bid delivers unmatched project maturity, community investments, stakeholder collab- oration and an achievable timeline for project development. “Since day one our team has been focused on delivering cost-effective, renewable offshore wind energy to the Bay State,” said President of Ørsted North America and CEO of Ørsted U.S. Offshore Wind Thomas Brostrøm. “Our project will not only create jobs and provide local investment, it will be delivered by the offshore wind’s leading experts to ensure the project is achievable, sustainable and successful for the commonwealth.” With several major power plants set to go offline over the Vermont's Roman Catholic Bishop Christopher Coyne speaks Thursday Aug. 22, 2019 in South Burlington, Vt., about a next decade, Bay State Wind will help replace lost capacity new report that found there were "credible and substantiated" allegations of the sexual abuse of minors against 40 priests and diversify the state’s power sources with clean, reliable in the state between 1950 and today.
