GREENFIELD — It was a chilly, over-cast Sunday, but that didn’t stop adults, chil-dren and dogs from coming to Beacon Fieldto enjoy the last day of the 96th annual Win-ter Carnival before going home to enjoy theSuper Bowl.

Pieces of grass and dirt poked throughthe snow on the ground, but plenty of youngchildren still launched themselves down thehill on plastic sleds. The homemade sleds

GREENFIELD — F i v e - y e a r-old Conor O’Connell tugged hisparents along Main Street Satur-day afternoon, eagerly hurryingfrom one ice sculpture to the nextwith an expression of awe on hisface.

The 11 ice sculptures, from aBruins hockey player to a family ofpenguins, were a welcome pres-ence downtown as part of the 96thannual Winter Carnival. Throngs

of people, especially families,walked up and down both sides ofthe street to admire each sculp-ture, while others pulled overtheir vehicles to take a quickglimpse.

But without the selflessness ofvolunteers, it’s possible the icesculptures would not have lasteduntil Saturday morning. In previ-ous years, many of the sculptureshave been subject to vandalism.Four of seven sculptures were de-

Rosenber gsays report

cont ainsinaccur acies

By EMILY CUTTSFor The Recorder

Sen. Stan Rosenberg on Sunday responded to new alle-gations, brought to light by the Boston Globe, that the sena-tor directed his staff to grant his husband, Bryon Hefner,access to his Senate email account, his contacts and hisc a l e n d a r.

Rosenberg stepped asidefrom his position as Senatepresident in December afterthe Globe reported the alle-gations of four men who saidHefner sexually assaultedand harassed them and sug-gested he could pull stringswith Rosenberg with respectto Senate business.

Rosenberg declined com-ment for Sunday’s report, byYvonne Abraham, but took is-sue with the piece in a state-ment to the Gazette.

“Ms. Abraham’s story con-tains a number of significantfactual inaccuracies,” hesaid. “Out of respect for and deference to the investigation,we need to let that run its course. I will have further com-ment once the investigation is complete.”

In interviews with unnamed sources who dealt withHefner and a review of communications, the Globe detailsallegations that Hefner had full access to Rosenberg’semails, attempted to affect the state budget and involvedhimself in both the working of Rosenberg’s office as well asSenate affairs.

Besides investigators hired by the Senate Committee onEthics, the allegations are being investigated by the FBI,Attorney General Maura Healey and the Suffolk district at-torney ’s office.

APOLLO, Pa. — A family has been reunited with its dog 10years after the dog went missing.

Debra Suierveld and her family assumed their dog Abbyhad died after she ran away in 2008from their home in Apollo, butdecade-old sadness turned to joy onSaturday when Suierveld receivedword someone had found the dog.

The black Labrador mix showedup on George Speiring’s front porch inLower Burrell, 10 miles west ofApollo. Speiring contacted AnimalProtectors of Allegheny Valley, whichdiscovered the dog’s microchip andwas able to contact Suierveld.

Someone had taken good care ofAbby over the years. Abby is in great health and remembersthings the family taught her, Suierveld said.

“She would lie on the floor and cross her paws, and she re-members my daughter’s commands, and she remembers thecommands I taught her,” Suierveld told KDKA-TV.

Suierveld called her 22-year-old daughter, who is a stu-dent at Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio, to share the news.

“She cried,” Suierveld told the Tribune-Review.Suier veld’s family has planned a reunion dinner on Sun-

day to welcome Abby back.“It feels like a part of my kids’ childhood is back, part of

our family is back,” Suierveld said. “It’s pretty awesome.”

A knight riding a dragon,carved by Mark Bosworth,seemed to be a crowd fa-vorite. People gathered onthe sidewalk in front of theHawks & Reed PerformingArts Center, taking turnsphotographing the sculp-ture.

“This is our community,and (the ice sculptures) are areally important gift,” saidKeleigh Pereira, of TurnersFalls, who came to Green-field to see the ice sculptureswith her friend Lev Ben-Ezra, also of Turners Falls.

“It’s the ice sculptures,but it’s not just ice sculp-tures,” Pereira said. “It’s anopportunity to pull people outinto the community, evenwhen it’s cold and peoplemight not be out.”

Two-hour shiftsThis year, the Greenfield

Recreation Department ar-ranged to have volunteerspatrol the downtown area, byfoot or in their vehicles, intwo-hour shifts from 8 p.m.Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday. Ef-

forts were planned to con-tinue Saturday night intoSunday morning, with theGreenfield Police Depart-ment also patrolling thearea.

“It’s really sad to have todo that,” Pereira said, addinghow thankful she was for thevolunteers’ help. “It’s amaz-

ing people were staying upand out in the cold.”

“It’s unfortunate,” agreedConor ’s mother, Liz O’Con-nell, of Greenfield.

The O’Connell family hasmade it a tradition to checkout the ice sculptures sinceConor was born, and it’s afeature of the Winter Carni-

val he’s come to love.“This is probably his fa-

vorite part next to the card-board sled race,” O’Connellsaid.

Winter Carnival activitiescontinued into Sunday, withthe K9 keg pull at 1 p.m. andthe cardboard sled contest at2 p.m, both at Beacon Field.

Recreation Department di-rector Christy Moore ex-pressed excitement for theweekend crowd.

“The weather has cooper-ated and turnout is good,” shesaid.

Furry athletesThe snow in Beacon Field

soon became trodden withplenty of boot prints and dogprints alike. Dozens of resi-dents and their furry friendslined up to prepare for thesixth annual K9 Keg Pull.

From tiny Chihuahuas to ahefty Saint Bernard namedClarence, all shapes and sizesof dogs were welcome to par-ticipate or cheer on their fluffyfriends from the sidelines.

Each canine was fitted witha keg on a rope to pull behind.In an effort to not leave anydog out, there were multiplesizes of “kegs” to pull.

Charlie, a little pug outfit-ted in a winter-themedsweater, pulled a four-pack be-hind him. Maximus, a hand-some German Shepherd, wasthe first out of the contestantsto pull a full-sized keg. Macho,a Chihuahua, managed to pulltwo cans.

The dogs raced individuallyand were timed on how long ittook them to get from the startline to the finish line. Fasterdogs completed the race in 6or 7 seconds. For some, visit-ing with bystanders seemed totrump the glory of winning,and they had to be coaxed to

the finish line. No matter thesize or breed, all dogs seemedto have fun whether they werein it to win it, or just in it for theexperience.

Even the dogs that didn’tparticipate barked their sup-port from the sidelines. Chil-dren cheered for their favoritedogs along with their parents.

Clarence, the SaintBernard, was not an officialcontestant but he showed theother pups how it’s done bypulling two full-size and twoquarter-size kegs and a four-pack all at once.

The fastest dog, a pitbull/husky/greyhound mix namedRiley, completed the pull in4.15 seconds with a half keg,winning the “Best Overall” ti-tle.

Sled contestAnother one of the biggest

events at the Winter Carnival

is the cardboard sled contest.All sleds had to be 100 per-

cent cardboard with no plasticor wood underneath to helpwith speed. Parents could helpchildren make their sleds.

Among the winners in theyouth category for sleddingwas Seamus Collins, who sliddown the mountain inside acardboard igloo with penguinsand won “Most Creative” forthe youth category.

The “Zaniest” award wentto Eric Waite, who entered theRuth Bader Sledburg sled.

In the group category, theShepherd family of six won the“Zaniest” award for their yel-low sled, “Cool Bus.”

In the adult category, MikeSullivan wonthe “Fa s t e s t ”award, as wellas “Fa s t e s tOverall” withhis drag racersled. He com-pleted the hillin 7.35 seconds.

The “Pe o -ple’s Choice”award went tothe X-wing fighter sled by Des-tini and Winter Sullivan.

Fo o dA carnival isn’t complete

without food, of course. Chillycarnival-goers could warm upat a fire pit and roast marsh-mallows, sample chili fromone of the five cook-off contes-tants, taste cookies fromcookie bake-off contestants orsupport their local Girl Scouttroop by buying boxes of cook-ies.

All cook-off contestantswere local restaurants, and

Brad’s Place won the people’svote for “Best Chili.”

Applesauce cookies madeby Anira Dahlstrom won theaward of “Most Original,”while the “Best Overall” wasawarded to classic chocolatechip cookies made by LanieBowse. Seamus Collins won a“Best Decorated” award forhis groundhog cookies.

Other amusementsThe crack of hockey sticks

against a puck could be heardas the Franklin County Sher-iff ’s hockey team faced offagainst the Franklin CountyFirefighters for a game of icehockey at the Beacon FieldOutdoor Rink.

At 12:30p.m., teamsfaced off for atug o’ war inthe middle ofthe field. Tocomplete thewintry scene, ahorse-drawnwagon circledthe field fromnoon until the

end of the carnival, givingrides to those looking to sit forawhile.

Moore mentioned that thecarnival would not be possiblewithout all of the volunteerswho took on tasks from timingK9 Keg Pull participants, tojudging cardboard sleds andoverseeing the carnival as awhole.

“Overall, it’s been a suc-cessful event,” Moore said.
