HOLYOKE, MA (WSHM) -
Holyoke police officers John Loftus and Edward Moskal have probably heard every excuse in the book when it comes to pulling over drivers who do not follow the rules of the road.

On Friday, CBS 3 Springfield road along with the officers as they monitored a busy intersection, and several drivers were pulled over for slowly rolling through a stop sign.
“You went through the stop sign,” said Loftus to a driver.
"Was there a stop sign there?" asked one driver.
"I know. I California-rolled it!" exclaimed another.
“Oh, I thought I stopped," said a driver.

On any given day, the drivers wouldn't want to see the blue lights come flashing up behind them, but Friday was no ordinary day.

That's because in honor of the holidays, instead of receiving a fine for their minor violations, they received a surprise gift.

Boxes wrapped by the men and women of the Holyoke Police Department contained hundreds of dollars' worth of gifts that were made possible through donations from local establishments, including Gary Rome Auto Group, Bert Hill Movers, Leed's Store, Mix 93.1, Kix 100.9 and NewsRadio 560.
“We're in the Christmas spirit,” Loftus said.
"Oh my, are you serious? Is this really for me?" questioned one driver as she was presented with a gift.

"Imagine having to spend your grocery money to get your kids gifts. Well now, thanks to these donations, people don't have to do that," Holyoke Police Chief James Neiswanger said.
"It feels good to give back. I think some of the people really appreciated it and I think they really needed it," Moskal said.

"Most of the people today - it seemed like it was going to help them out," said Loftus.
The police department says they're happy to lend a helping hand this holiday, and they also hope it acts as a friendly reminder for the drivers to drive safe.
“Enjoy the season, but don't forget the stop signs,” Loftus said.
"What they say about the cops isn't true. They're good people doing their jobs," said a driver.
"I'm happy to see the blue lights!” said another.
CBS 3 would like to thank the following sponsors who helped make this project possible:

Gary Rome Auto Group and Holyoke Public Library Announce Partnership On "Next 100 Years Campaign"

A cooperative “Drive Into The Future” raffle to benefit the Library Construction Project.

Holyoke, MA -- On Friday June 22 at 10:00 a.m., the Holyoke Public Library (HPL) and Gary Rome Auto Group will officially announce that they have teamed up together to raffle a 2013 Hyundai to benefit HPL’s Next 100 Years Campaign to renovate and expand the library facility. This launch event will be held at the Library construction site at 335 Maple Street featuring Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse, Gary Rome and HPL officials. Members of the press and general public are welcome.

The “Drive into the Future” Raffle will provide the winner with a 3-year lease to a new 2013 Hyundai Elantra as a first prize. Raffle tickets may be purchased for $10 each, or 3 for $25, and the drawing will be held in December, 2012.

“We are extraordinarily grateful to Gary and the team at Gary Rome Auto Group for their generosity and support in this wonderful partnership,” said Library President Terry Plum. “Having such a terrific local business come forward at this time is extremely helpful, and we look forward not only to raising funds for the campaign, but also to spreading word throughout the area about how incredible the new library will be.”

The Library, which is now under construction, will be a blending of old and new, serving as a state-of-the-art information technology and community center facility while retaining the current building’s historic grandeur. The project will increase usable square footage in the library by 264% and provide ample space for children’s programs, technology and literacy training services.  

“The Holyoke Public Library is critical to the future of Holyoke, and we want to play a strong role in bringing this important campaign across the finish line,” said Gary Rome, President of Gary Rome Auto Group. “This is about giving back to our community, and making the future brighter for all of our children and families.”

Of note, the Rome family has been doing business in Holyoke for over 90 years and has actively supported numerous local charities that help children and families in the community.

Kudos To Kia

Kia Motors has continued its rise to brand stardom in recent months, racking up awards and accolades for various achievements. Design, safety, eco-friendly -- Kia has it all.

In November, the Kia Picanto won the International Forum (iF) Design award. The three-door Picanto, only available in Europe, won the award for its "pure design quality, workmanship, innovation and eco-friendliness." The Picanto boasts a sporty exterior, Bluetooth voice activation, and other nifty features, as well as a low CO2 emissions rate of 95 g/km. Along with its 7-year/100,000 mile warranty, and low price, it's no wonder the Kia Picanto won the fourth Kia iF Design Award in three years.

Kia's Chief Design Officer, Peter Schreyer said: "Receiving the iF product design award for the new Kia Picanto is a great success for our design team and it is welcome recognition of our brand's design-oriented strategy."

A month later, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) named their Top Safety Picks for 2012. A record 115 models all made the cut for various vehicle segments. The IIHS rating tests include:

• 40 mph frontal offset crash tests
• 31 mph side-impact tests
• A roof test requiring the vehicle to withstand a force of four times the vehicle's weight before reaching 5 inches of crush. (The IIHS roof test is more severe than the government's, though a tougher federal rule takes effect for 2013 models.)
• A 20 mph rear crash that also tests the head restraint protection

The Kia Soul and Forte sedan both won Top Safety Pick awards for the small-car classification. The Optima won for midsize moderately priced cars, the Sportage for small SUVs, and the Sorento for midsize SUVs.

Vroomgirls.com came out with their first ever Cars of the Year Awards for 2011. Who did they choose for Best Hatchback? The Kia Rio SX! In their words the Rio is "fantastically roomy, agile on the road, zippy and low priced. Honestly, what more could any driver want?" We couldn't put it better ourselves. The Rio also gets great gas mileage at 30 mpg-city/40 mpg-highway.

Two weeks ago Kia scooped the What Car? Ultra Low Carbon Award for its environmentally efficient range of cars, in particular the Rio and Pecanto models. The Rio, with CO2 emissions as low as 85 g/km, making it the cleanest non-electric car in the world. What Car? Magazine honored the Picanto last summer at their Green Awards ceremony.

Paul Philpott, Chief Operating Officer of Kia Motors Europe, received the Ultra Low Carbon Award saying, ”Kia has been striving over recent years not only to deliver exciting, attractive, high-quality cars - but also to deliver real benefits to customers in the form of cleaner technologies that don’t carry a price premium. We are delighted that What Car? – one of Europe’s leading consumer magazines – has recognized our efforts.”
