Tents Tables Chairs Kwik-covers Coolers Food machines And more! By Nancy dos Santos Turley Correspondent BELCHERTOWN – With trash bags in hand and the sun shining overhead, members of the Swift River Preservation Association (SRPA) and boaters gathered last Saturday for the annual Swift River Clean Up. Sponsored by SRPA and the Belchertown Land Trust, the cleanup is part of a grassroots movement to maintain the fragile and beautiful ecosystem of the Swift River and Bondsville Dam. This year’s cleanup efforts focused on a piece of land on Depot Road, directly across from National Fiber. The debris-covered property, which lies adjacent to an apartment building, is owned by the Belchertown Land Trust. Garbage strewn across the lot ranged from an old set of skis to clothing and a bicycle tire inner tube. Based on the type of trash they have seen there, SRPA members believe that the property was used as a dumping ground by former tenants before vacating the nearby apartment building. After spending the morning clearing the property of garbage, volunteers joined boaters in scooping litter from the river. Boaters brought along trash bags and drifted around the river gathering up any floating debris.

Although turnout for the day was low, Dennis Morin explained that regular visitors to the river have been helping out whenever they are in the area. Morin, whose home on Cold Spring Road is directly across from the boat launch, has volunteered to collect any trash that boaters pick up while out on the river. A trailer with a large handwritten sign sits on his property for garbage collection. “With all the graduations and soccer games going on this time of year, a lot of people can’t make it,” says Morin. The majority of the 15 to 20 SRPA members were unable to attend Saturday’s cleanup because of such commitments, but many had already volunteered their time earlier in the week. Last year’s event also saw a low turnout because of rain. Despite setbacks like these, members are upbeat and know that cleaning efforts can be made all year long. Thanks to SRPA, the Swift River is less polluted and the Upper Bondsville Dam is no longer in danger of being removed. The association has been hosting the annual clean up event since its inception in 2010. “The river isn’t so bad. We’ve had a lot of support from the community,” said Martha Knightly, vice president of SRPA. If the dam had come down, it would’ve been a lot of mudflats.” The Upper Bondsville Dam has been in existence for over 150 years. Its removal would have destroyed over See CLEAN-UP, Page 5 • Complimentary Moroccanoil ® Treatment • Consultations available with Moroccanoil ® Brand Managers • Cocktails and Hors D’oeuvres • Raffle Basket SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT NOW!
