SOUTH HADLEY - Although she was in a northern Dominican Republic city, Haeinn Woo, a Mount Holyoke College pre-med student, felt the tremors of the earthquake emanating out of central Haiti on Jan. 12. At first, Woo didn't think much of the quake, but as soon as she returned to her host family's home, news of the devastation in Port-au-Prince consumed her. She decided to go to Haiti to help in any way possible and took steps to help where she could, but like other volunteers, said the experience was heart-wrenching and frustrating, in part because it wasn't always clear how to get help to those who needed it most.
Information on the funeral for former UMass football coach and
administrator Bob Pickett has been announced. A funeral mass will be
held on Friday, Feb. 12 at 10 a.m., at St. Pius X Church in Portland,
Maine. The burial will be at the Calvary Cemetery in South Portland.
For every UMass men's basketball game this season, I'll be giving out three stars to the top three performers from the Minutemen and keeping track of who earns the most three star points over the course of the season.I'm putting a little extra weight on No. 1. So a No. 1 star is worth 5 points. A No. 2 is worth three and a No. 3 is worth 2.
