HOLYOKE – With a light touch from the back wheel of his BMX bike, Sam Fusari, 7, of South Hadley practiced brushing – but not toppling – a can placed at the top of a short ramp during his visit to the skate park in Pulaski Park on Wednesday. Fusari and his father, Tom Fusari, who also brought a bike, weren’t fazed by the wet surface brought on by a passing snow squall.
