Candidate Forum Videos

All the video clips from Candidate Forums at Dean Tech have all been uploaded to Vimeo.

Crush cosponsored the forums through the 2009 Candidates Forum Committee group here on the social network site. They were also sponsored by the Greater Holyoke Chamber of Commerce, Holyoke Taxpayers Association, and the Holyoke Teachers Association.

The Crush group provided volunteers, and videography of the forum… Continue

Crush to join Chamber of Commerce and Holyoke Taxpayers Association's Mayoral Debate Committee?

Today is July 28th, the last day for most candidates to file their papers. Now the Holyoke political season will start heating up.

The Chamber of Commerce and the Holyoke Taxpayers Association are planning a Mayoral and City Councilor Debate after the primary.

The last debate in 2005 suffered technical problems. The audio totally failed, and residents watching from home heard nothing but silence. No recording of the event was made.

I think Crush could be a great help in this department. We ha… Continue

May 28th Crush Party - (Good Vibes)

The May 29th Crush Party was another late starter due to scheduling of the Urban Renewal Hearings at the War Memorial Building. It sorta makes for two Crush events in one night. Urban Renewal, and Urban Success. Not too much difference, and Success/Renewal of the four lower census tracts is what Crush is all about.… Continue

April 30th Crush Party

Many Crushers arrived late for the April 30th Party including myself. We were attending the Urban Renewal Hearing at the War Memorial Building, and it ran a little long. Despite the late start this was the biggest Crush party yet.

Hi Peter...this is Anna. Daphne introduced us at the CRUSH party. We spoke about having a few of my students volunteer at the event at Dean HS. Can you email me all of the information and a contact phone number so that I can start to finalize this with them? Thanks...Anna (annar413@gmail.com)

Hi there Peter, I was hoping that you could help me with something, I am looking for a list of locally owned businesses in Holyoke. You are always so insightful and seem like the "go to guy" on Masslive and your blog (which i love). Could you please help me even if it's just a couple businesses you know of? My email is Marehaes@yahoo.com...Thank you and keep up the great work on your blog...I enjoy reading it!

Sincerely,
Maredith

Peter,
Regarding the canned good drive I started in December, the answer is no. The canned good drive I was pushing was aimed at feeding hungry families for the holiday season. I have already taken down items gathered from my friends and relations. Aaron and Debra kindly gathered canned goods also and If I am not mistaken may have delivered them down as well. I had posted the info on this ning, but I think many of the members had devoted their time to the gala. If you plan on gathering canned goods at the party on the 29th, I will bring canned goods to give if I attend, but I am not going to push crush or lead any crush canned good drive at this time. take care.

I like your eye for photos and news. Several years ago in the mid 1990's I published a local news paper in the Holyoke, Chicopee, Springfield and nearby communities. Wish I had known you then. You do go work friend.
