LUDLOW – This spring, a celebration of preserved memories
will grace Ludlow again and ultimately directly benefit students in
town.
The fifth annual “Scrapbooking
for Scholarships” event to benefit
the Sgt. Joshua Desforges
Memorial Scholarship Fund will be
held on March 26 at the Polish
American Citizens Club, located at
355 East St.
“People who make scrapbook

those memories and traditions. With

that’s not functioning is re-activated. According to Psychiatrist Dr.
esearch has shown that
mental disorders – namely
depression – have had an
overwhelming effect on efficiency
in the business world, even greater
than that of physical impairments.
It affects one in five adults. The
hardest obstacle that continues to
propel that impact forward is the
stigma associated with mental illness. One initiative, however, is
looking to terminate that bias.
Through a grant funded by the
Massachusetts attorney general, the
National Alliance on Mental Illness
of Massachusetts (NAMI Mass)
has launched the campaign “CEOs
Against Stigma.” Designed to
reduce the negative impact of mental illness stigma in the workplace,
NAMI Mass has partnered with
CEOs across the state to bring the

eth Donovan has been suffering with depression since
she was a teenager.
Admittedly, she’s been prescribed
almost every anti-depressant on
the market and sat in every psychiatrist’s office in the city of
Springfield. While her treatment
helped on a temporary basis, it
never lasted. Until now.
“Growing up, and even into
adulthood, people would ask what
I had to be depressed about, and
I’d think about it, and of course I
have nothing to be depressed
about…I have a good life. I have a
great life, in fact. So I’d find
myself feeling bad about feeling
bad,” she said. “But I couldn’t help
it. I couldn’t make plans. I missed
out on functions. I couldn’t sleep. I
wouldn’t dress. I wouldn’t even
leave the house. My husband
would even bring home food every
day because I just couldn’t do anything. But all that’s different now.”

organizer Dana Madera. “Making
those albums make the memories

the idea behind the tradition.”
There are three session options
for the event: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with
lunch included, a 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
session with dinner included or an
all-day, and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. session. Lunch and dinner sessions
cost $32.50 each, while the all-day
session with both lunch and dinner
costs $55. There is a $5 discount
for all military members and their
spouses.

Lesser visits Hampden County
Correctional Center
Sheriff Ashe highlights
criminal justice,
substance abuse
reforms
LUDLOW _ State Sen. Eric P.
Lesser (D-Longmeadow) recently visited the Hampden County Sheriff's
Department and Correctional Center to
highlight the center's innovative efforts
to reduce substance abuse and help
those with criminal records integrate
into their communities.
“With some smart, effective reforms
we can save quite a lot of money for the
system and invest those savings into
improving our treatment and into preventing some of these substance abuse
issues from happening in the first
place," said Lesser, who is a member of
the Special Senate Committee on
Opioid Addiction Prevention,
Treatment and Recovery Options.
Lesser met with Hampden County
Sheriff Michael Ashe, Jr. and members
of the department's staff to discuss ways
they have collaborated with state agencies and community groups to reduce
recidivism and substance abuse rates.
Over the last decade, the number of
men and women in the custody of the
Hampden County Sheriff's Department
has fallen by 36 percent. Sheriff's
Department officials say that population
could go lower with the opening of a
new drug court in Springfield, which
was announced in November 2015 as a
result of a community effort led by Sen.

“Reducing the prison's population
by one-third allows taxpayer funds to
be invested in treatment beds, access to
services and substance abuse counseling. There's good reason for why the
Sheriff's program has been recognized
as a model not only here in
Massachusetts, but across the United
States,” Lesser said.
He added that he is highly optimistic
that much progress will be made in the
areas of criminal justice reform and
substance abuse prevention, both on a
state and national level.
“When you have Republican pri-
Corrections
mary candidates on the presidential
level openly discussing in agreement
with the president, whom they very
rarely agree with on anything, on the
need for treatment; when you see at
the State of the Union both sides of the
chamber get up and applaud when the
very first policy point the president
brought up was substance abuse and
criminal justice reform; when you see
on a state-level, repeatedly the speaker
of the house, the senate president, the
governor all saying criminal justice is a
top priority-you realize that this is an
issue whose moment has come,”
Lesser said.

Second-graders make a difference in the lives of others
By Anne Marie Corrieri
Special to The Register
LUDLOW – In the poem, “The
Power of One,” by Ashish Ram he
writes, “One life can make a difference; you see, it’s up to you!” One
might think these words were written to describe Kacie Klimek and
Lacey Perron, two, second grade
students at Chapin Street School
who recently made a difference in
the lives of others in very heartwarming and generous ways.
Their teacher, Jodi Yarkey,
explained that Kacie donated handmade blankets for the pet supply
drive at school and Lacey requested
that people attending her birthday
party bring canned food items for
the needy/homeless instead of birthday gifts.
“ I am not surprised by the generosity shown by these two students. They go above and beyond
daily in our classroom to make
others happy,” Yarkey said. “Kacie
recently handmade bracelets for
her classmates, and Lacey can
always be found helping out a
friend in need. Both of these students truly have big hearts, and are
quite special! We are thrilled to
have them as part of our room 1
family.”
After learning about the school
wide pet supply drive to benefit
local animal rescues/shelters Kacie
said she wanted “to help by making
some blankets to keep the cats and
dogs warm and happy.” With the
support and help of her mother, and
brother, Zach, they were able to
sew and donate a total of 23 blankets.
“I used $20 of my Christmas

money and my brother used $10 of
his and we went to Jo-Ann’s
(Fabric and Craft Store) to buy the
fabric and my mom and brother
sewed the blankets, and I helped,”
Kacie said.
Kacie’s mother, Kelly Klimek, is
very proud of her daughter’s kind
gesture, stating, “When I learned
that Kacie and her brother Zach
wanted to make blankets for the
animal shelters it brought tears to

my eyes. It was a beautiful act of
kindness and demonstrated an overwhelming sense of generosity for
others. I am very proud of my
amazingly kind hearted daughter.”
Lacey explained that her idea
to donate canned goods to Kate’s
Kitchen in Holyoke started this
past summer when she went to her
friend’s house to help make 100
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
She learned the sandwiches
were donated to Kate’s Kitchen so
they could be served to the
needy/homeless. Lacey said that as
her birthday approached and plans
were discussed about her party, she
asked her father and stepmother, if
people could bring canned goods
for the homeless to my party.
“I got lots of presents for
Christmas and didn’t really want
anything else so I thought it would
be nice to help other people who
might be hungry and need food,”
she said.
Lacey was beaming when she
proudly reported that a total of 250
items were collected at her party to
give to Kate’s Kitchen, saying, “I
think that will help a lot of people.”
Lacey’s father and stepmother,
Justin and Kimberly Palmer stated
they are "So incredibly proud of our
little girl! She has a bigger heart than
anyone we know. To come up with
the concept on her own, and gain
250 items to donate in two weeks is
just amazing to us. Most kids her

There really aren't enough words for

When asked about these two
acts of kindness Nikki Reed,
Chapin Street Elementary School
principal expressed her overwhelming sense of pride, “As a principal I
strive to model and instill the qualities that both Lacey and Kacie
emulated – kindness and caring.
Each of these students already possesses these qualities and are role
models for their peers. When it
comes to showing kindness from
the heart they definitely get an Aplus!” There is no doubt that both
Lacey and Kacie will continue to
emulate the importance of “the
power of one” with ongoing acts of
generosity and kindness, and will
remind us all that “one life can
make a difference; you see, it’s up
to you!”

Senate passes bill requiring
hands-free cell phone use
BOSTON _ The Massachusetts
Senate, after a robust debate, today
passed legislation banning the use of
mobile devices while driving.
According to the National Safety
Council, distracted driving accounted
for 26 percent of the 30,000 lives lost in
motor vehicle accidents in 2013.
The bill, Senate 2093, sponsored by
state Sens. Mark Montigny (D-New
Bedford), and Cynthia Creem (DNewton), implements penalties for
operating a vehicle while holding a
mobile electronic device to, or in proximity of a person's head.
Passage of this bill puts
Massachusetts in line with Connecticut,
New Hampshire and New York. Fortysix states currently ban texting while
driving for all drivers and fourteen
states ban the use of handheld devices
for all drivers.
State Sen. Eric P. Lesser (DLongmeadow)
joined
the
Massachusetts Senate to pass that legislation.
“Too many car accidents happen
because drivers are distracted by their
devices,” Lesser said. “This bill makes
important updates to existing law to
ensure that our roads are as safe as pos-
sible for all motorists and passengers.”
The bill requires drivers to use their
mobile electronic device in hands free
mode while operating a vehicle.
Distracted driving accounts for over
1 million crashes and 3,000 fatalities
every year in the United States. The
National Safety Council estimates that
one in four motor vehicle accidents now
involve cell phone use.
“Distracted driving is a serious public safety issue that causes too many
accidents and fatalities every year.
Banning hand held devices while driving will make our roads safer for all,”
said state Sen. President Stan
Rosenberg (D-Amherst). “One of the
fundamental responsibilities of government is to protect public safety and this
legislation will reduce accidents and
deaths.”
In 2010 the legislature banned texting while driving but did not ban the
use of handheld devices for talking or
other purposes. The 2010 law banned
handheld use for 16 and 17 year olds.
The law has been difficult to enforce
and hands free technology has
improved significantly since the passage of the 2010 law.
“It is critical for motorist and pedes-
trian safety that we join the fourteen
other states that have already passed
similar legislation. Prohibiting the use
of hand held devices will also remove a
major impediment to law enforcement
charged with enforcing the current texting ban,” said Montigny, who has filed
hands-free legislation since 2004. “As a
vocal critic of the significant weaknesses in the current law, I look forward to
working toward the successful passage
of this important piece of legislation so
that we may significantly reduce the
number of horrific injuries and carnage
caused by distracted drivers.”
Under the bill, an initial violation
results in a $100 fine, a second time
offense is a $250 fine, and any subsequent offenses is a $500 fine and would
be considered a moving violation for
insurance purposes.
“I believe that this legislation will
save lives here in Massachusetts,” said
Creem. “Not only will it protect
motorists, but it will also make our
roads safer for bicyclists and pedestrians by ensuring that drivers are paying
attention to the road, and not to their
cellphone.”
The bill now moves to the House of
Representatives for consideration.

Friends of the Reservoir seeks more volunteers
LUDLOW – The Friends of the Reservoir
volunteers are preparing for the 2016 season,
which begins in April and continues through
Oct. 31. The Friends of the Reservoir are in
need of more volunteers for the 2016 season.
The Ludlow Reservoir is open six days a
week for the public to enjoy the beauty for
walking, jogging, biking and fishing. It is
closed on Wednesdays throughout the year.
The volunteers are responsible for opening
and closing the gate to the parking lot for the
upcoming 2016 season.
Their goal is to have volunteers commit to
one day a week for the season. The group is
also in need of backup volunteers to cover for
vacations or other commitments of the regular volunteers.
The benefits of being a volunteer in addition to enjoying the beautiful Ludlow
Reservoir and meeting many wonderful people are:

The
Grant shakes up approach to nutrition
Baird students drink in
healthy living
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
B
aird Middle School students gulped
down the first lesson of their 90-day
curriculum last week after being
selected as one of five schools across the
country to participate in the “NutriBullet
University.”
After applying for a grant, through the
collaboration between Natalina Tulik, a parent-volunteer that helps lead the Go Green
Club, Deborah Casagrande, BMS health
teacher, and Jordan Funke, BMS library
media specialist, Capital Brands, the manufacturer of NutriBullet, a popular blender,
announced that BMS was among the five
schools selected. As a winner, 34 students
from BMS were chosen to participate in a 90day, healthy eating program geared at helping
school-aged children improve their diets by
increasing their daily intake of fruits and vegetables.
“I found this contest online and knew it
was something that would be great to have at
our school,” Tulik said noting that
Casagrande and Funke helped make the
video submission. “With this grant, we will
be able to make students – and even their
families – aware of healthier eating habits.”
Tulik said she was especially excited to be
chosen for the unique curriculum as more
than 200 schools applied for the NutriBullet
grants.
With the grant, BMS received $15,000,
which funds five NutriBullet units for the
school, $6,000 to purchase fresh produce, and
a NutriBullet for each of the families of the
34 students participating.
“The program is designed to help students
improve their diets by increasing their daily
intake of vegetables and fruits. The ultimate
goal is that this will become part of a healthy

lifestyle that will follow them throughout
their life,” Casagrande said.
As part of the program, students will visit
the “NutriBullet University Blast Bar,” now
established in the school, to create their own
fruit- and vegetable-based concoctions before
school.
Gigi Kwork, MS, RD from the
NutriBullet University Program, unveiled the
curriculum to students and their parents last
Thursday during a kick-off event.
“We hope that students can share this
hands-on learning experience with friends
and family at school and at home because
they will have access to the NutriBullets in
both environments. A lot of learning for students through this program will happen at
school, but the healthy behaviors can be
solidified at home,” she said.
At the event, Kwork showcased two different recipes with fresh ingredients that the
students could make for themselves and
attending guests. Students were also encouraged to get excited about healthy eating with
“stations” to customize their smoothie cups
for the school’s purpose as well as a “selfie”
Though they guising their identities, Sara Ketchale and Kellie Lyonnais couldn’t hide their

station to capture some of the fun moments
from the afternoon.
“As a parent, it’s hard to get Ryan to eat
healthy. His mom is always after him to eat
his vegetables,” said David Roberts after
attending Thursday’s kick-off. “It seems like
this challenge has motivated him [Ryan] to
get excited about healthy eating. He’s even
insisted on making sure that he is the one in
charge of making everyone’s smoothies at
home.”
With the grant, students are also given
health screenings and dietician support. To
make sure students could see the value of
healthy living, students had their fingers
pricked for blood tests to check their sugar
and cholesterol.
“At the end of the 90-day period, a second
round of tests will be performed to compare
the changes,” said Casagrande, who started
her healthy eating program back in
December. “I feel better already...the ultimate
goal is that this will become part of a healthy
lifestyle that will follow them throughout
their life.”
NutriBullet University was launched in
2013 in schools in Alaska, Arkansas,
California, and Texas. According to statistics
gathered at previously held curriculums, students at three of the schools last spring
decreased their total cholesterol by 23 percent and increased their HDL (good cholesterol) by 59 percent over average, decreasing
their risk of heart disease. Seventy-six percent of students who participated in the
NutriBullet University program now feel
more empowered to make healthy behavioral changes.
“By engaging directly with the foods they
eat, we have found that students get a better

mood, energy, and overall well being,” said
Sarah Lefkowitz, registered dietitian and

“At the same time, students are developing
new healthy habits that will stay with them
for years to come.”

away.”
And with patients coming
in so frequently, “treaters” (those who administer this unique
treatment) tend to get really close with their patients.
“When patients first come in, they often look, well,
disheveled with no energy or wherewithal,” said Ryan
Webler, a treater from East Longmeadow. “But when you see
these mothers, grandmothers, neighbors come in each day,
you want them to get better and you notice that the symptoms of this seemingly hidden illness start to disappear. It’s
pretty amazing.”
As Perera explains, major depressive disorder is one
of the most common mental disorders in the United
States. It affects about 25 million Americans, and it’s
estimated that about 4 million patients do not benefit
from standard treatments for depression, even after
repeated treatment attempts. People with depression
may experience a range of physically and emotionally
debilitating symptoms, including anxiousness, sadness, irritability, fatigue, changes in sleep patterns,
loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities and
digestive problems.
Under Perera’s direction and a team of doctors and
treaters, he’s seen an 80 percent patient success rate in the
treatment for depression and anxiety.
“I’ve been treating soldiers with PTSD and seen even
stronger patient success,” he explained. As the clinical
director of Contemporary Care of America, Perera experienced the early development of TMS at Columbia
University.
With the development of this device, not only are
patients offered a different treatment option and doctors
another approach, it’s also created a new career path for
some. In the future as this treatment becomes more established, Perera discussed the need to include this course of
study to students in school. Since there weren’t individuals
out there that could just administer this treatment, Treaters
like Dayna Hyman and Webler have traded in their previous professions of ultrasound technicians and undergone
rigorous training to become certified to help patients in this
capacity.
“It’s heartbreaking to see someone come in suffering with depression, but it’s rewarding when you can
see the complete turn-around they’ve made after

one of the highest success rates out there – with 75 percent.
“People are not just getting better – they are getting well! I am excited to be working with Dr.
Qayyum in Ludlow bringing new hope for those
suffering,” said Perera, who is conducting a study
on guided TMS at Columbia University. “We can
actually for the first time see into the mind, read
the mind, and treat problem areas directly and noninvasively.”
Though not everyone will seek out help for depression
because of biases, individual cultures, shame, and embarrassment, Qayyum said this treatment sheds a new light for
those suffering.
“Once the word starts to spread more [about this
treatment], it will give many of those that have lost faith
a sense of hope. There is another option,” he said. “You
don’t have to suffer alone.”

The Yearn toYawn
Y
awn. Yawn. Yawn. It’s amazing that power
of provocation that one word or photograph can hold.
A couple of weeks ago, just after my deadline day, a fellow writer and I took a little time
to people-watch. (I’m
weirdly addicted to watching people’s behaviors and
mannerisms and how they
generally interact with one
another.) Anyways, midway through our fest of
stealing stares at strangers,
we witnessed a contagious
domino effect take place –
right before our eyes! In a
matter of seconds one person’s gaping open
mouth had leaped off their face and jumped
across the room to another’s, then another’s, then
another’s! Then before you knew it, the entire
room – us included – had become contaminated
by this suggestive gesture. And once we recognized that we had joined in the evocative act, we
tried talking through as if we were above it and
it’s power, but each time the word “yawn” leapt
from our lips, the struggle marched on.
Discussing it further, I pondered the possible
control it held if it were captured in the middle of
the movement, so I decided to do some research
– and let me tell you, it was the most exhausting
research I’ve ever undertaken. At first, I hit the
internet, trying to search for the reason behind
why we do it; flipping through page after page of
yawn-infested websites, giving in to my urge
until tears streamed down my face. What I
learned: no one really knows why. Although
there are a number of theories out there – from
tiredness and boredom, the increase of oxygen
into the blood and movement of carbon dioxide out of blood to potentially “cooling down”
the brain – I found there isn’t a definitive
answer.
For the second part of my project, I went out,
camera in hand, and started taking pictures of
people yawning – they stretched, they squinted
their eyes, they let out Chewbacca-esque moans
and the most interesting of all: they covered
their mouths. I found a number of people were
uncontrollably reaching up to cover their
mouths as if they were blocking others from a
pestilence that would rock the population if they
didn’t. But why? Has someone ever said,
“Awww, thanks for that. That was a close one
there.” No! What is the real reason for covering
up an open mouth? Does it reduce the chances
of yawning? The answer to that is yet again, no;
the visual reaction to a covered mouth versus an
uncovered one are one in the same.
As for the images I collected, it turns out
that it doesn’t matter what point a person is at
in the process of a yawn to incite an urge, it will
come regardless. I also found that even as I type
out this column, the corners of my mouth are
fighting the urge to open and simultaneously
inhale and exhale deeply, in turn contorting my
face and forcing out a cough instead.
Interestingly enough, researchers at Baylor
University also had 135 subjects take the
Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised and
then exposed them to a contagious yawn experiment. What they found was that the cold-heartedness part of the psychopathy scale was linked to
whether or not the person yawned. Apparently, a
lack of empathy and the more cold-hearted an
individual was, the less likely they were to yawn.
They found that psychopaths, who exhibit fearlessness and are easily startled, were also less likely to catch a yawn. Though there’s more research
being conducted on this, the potential link is pretty
certainly noteworthy.
So, as you glance up at this photo of my
friend Brian, whether you want to or not, I know
you felt a twinge to mimic his actions, so go on,
and take a good long yawn. You know you want
to, unless, of course, you’re a psychopath.
For every image, there’s a story. What’s the
story behind yours? To share your visual stories, send your photos to [email protected].

F
our-year-old Emily had a rare form of
cancer. She had received chemotherapy
every week for about three months. She
also had to bear frequent painful procedures.
Emily's mother, Sally, vicariously experienced some of the same pain, knowing that
her daughter might not live.
For physicians, the challenges of treating
children include being cognizant of the parents' feelings and concerns as well. A child
commonly reflects a parent's perception of
pain or anxiety.
The cancer was eating Emily's bones like
maggots eating dead tissue. The excruciating
pain emanated from her spine and long
bones. Due to the persistent pain, Emily was
placed on OxyContin. But she had another
type of pain that wasn't helped by this medication. This pain had a sharp, piercing character – what we call lancinating – and its sudden onset would often last only a few minutes. During these episodes, Emily would
scream. Sally asked if there was a way for the
spikes of pain to be treated. So intravenous
morphine was administered when Emily was

Turley Publications is liberal with regard to its business coverage polices, but we do have some standards
folks need to understand. First, local businesses and merchants are just as much institutions in our towns as
the library and schools. Without them, there are no towns.
We will feature coverage of local businesses that are new, have a major expansion, moving, closing,
under new management or ownership, celebrating a milestone anniversary, or have been thrust into the news
realm. Merchants can request that coverage through the editor, or for our existing advertising clients, through

reality of mental illness among employees
out of the darkness. Through CEO leadership, supervisors, managers, and all employees will be encouraged to learn about mental
illness, and how silence is undermining
workplace productivity. Among those to ban
together in this campaign is Hampden
County Sheriff Michael J. Ashe, Jr. He’s the
first sheriff in the Commonwealth to join
NAMI Mass CEOs Against Stigma campaign and has pledged to create a mentally
healthier work environment for the employees of the Hampden County Sheriff’s
Department.
“As Sheriff of Hampden County for over
41 years, with 900 plus employees and over
1,500 inmates in our custody, I know all too
well the stigma surrounding mental illness,”
said Ashe. “My staff is committed to treating
these afflictions and removing the stigma that
surrounds this critical issue in the workplace
as well as in the community.”
The campaign is geared at showing how
understanding, empathy and treatment can
improve the wellbeing of employees and
increase productivity at the same time. It’s the
hope to also put an end to stigma in the workplace, employing “top-down leadership” to
change misconceptions about mental health
disorders and encouraging people to open up
and speak freely about the conditions that
affect them and their immediate families.
“We all know the stigma surrounding
mental health issues prevents many from
seeking treatment,” Ashe said. “That is why
I'm committed to this effort.”
In an effort to gauge attitudes toward
mental health, NAMI Mass conducted a survey across the state of 800 registered voters
in 2014. As a result, the majority agreed that
mental illness was an issue and agreed that
those suffering from it face prejudice.
“But, when asked if they had a co-worker
with mental illness, only 17 percent said yes,
even though research shows that mental illness exists in virtually every workplace. And,
while most people said they would advise
someone with mental illness to tell their
friends and family, our poll found only 27
percent would advise someone with mental
illness to tell their co-workers about it,” said
Joanne Pallotta, a public relations spokeperson on campaign. “This Massachusetts poll
confirms what mental health experts throughout the world have known for decades: in the
workplace, people who need help are largely
silent, because they fear the consequences of
disclosure.”
She went on further to say that once a dialogue has begun, the hope behind the anti-
ICE CREAM
from Page 1
at 859 Center St. – sunup has been an especially satisfying one since the Chartrands first
introduced their familial tradition.
“Together with my two daughters and
wife on the first Saturday of February – since
the girls were 6 and 10 – we have traded our
regular breakfasts with that of an ice cream
parlor,” explained Chris Chartrand, moderator at the church. “We thought it would be a
fun tradition that we can share with members
of the community and church as a way to get
involved.”
Though the exact date is said to be
unknown, “Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast
Day” was created in the 1960s as a way for
Florence Rappaport of New York to bond
with her six children during a cold and
snowy morning. Since then, the tradition was
carried on by her children and her children’s
children and has been celebrated in a number
of countries on the first Saturday of every
February.
“Marie saw it on the internet one day that
it was a nationally-recognized day and it’s a
day that we’ve all looked forward to,” he
said. “And now, the kids at the church that
volunteer for this annual event have grown
up serving others.”
Embraced by the church with open arms,
the Chartrand family has utilized the festive
event around frozen desserts as an annual
fundraiser for the church. Proceeds are earmarked for the church’s general fund, which
in turn supports community groups and
local charities, such as that of the
Community Survival Center in Indian
Orchard.
“I look forward to helping out the church
as much as I can,” said 16-year-old Cole
stigma campaign is that people will start to
talk about the subject – whether they are
affected by it in their household as a family
member or individual.
“Education will be what makes the difference,” she said, noting that the organization
has a presentation called “In Our Own
Voice” (IOOV) that addresses the topic in a
gentle way, but still hits home. “Oftentimes,
people will disclose [information] right after
the presentation.”
Statistically, employees are even reluctant
to utilize their own employment assistance
programs out of fear that it will get back to
their employers.
Through the report, researchers from
NAMI Mass also found that employees with
untreated mental health issues use inpatient
and outpatient three times more than those
receiving treatment, eight in 10 workers say
shame and stigma prevent them from seeking
treatment from their mental illness, only 25
percent of employees with major depression
currently receive adequate treatment, and 18
percent of workers say they experienced
symptoms of mental health disorder in the
past month. Additionally, the report noted
that 20 percent of U.S. adults are currently
suffering from a depressive illness, employees experiencing depression lose 35 percent
of productivity each week, four out of 10
leading causes of disability in the U.S. are
mental disorders, and 71 percent of U.S.
adults with depression will not contact a
mental health professional.
“Unlike physical conditions, mental illness is often not discussed in the workplace,”
says Bernice Drumheller, president of NAMI
Western Mass. “CEOs like Sheriff Ashe
understand the importance and positive
impact that the CEOs Against Stigma campaign brings to the work environment."
By signing the CEOs Against Stigma
pledge, Ashe has made the commitment
to open up dialogue about mental health
conditions without fear of disclosure as
well as making employees aware of the
benefits available to them. He will also
bring into his workplace NAMI's IOOV
presentations, recognized by a leading
national mental health researcher as the
most effective anti-stigma program in
America.
The goal of CEOs Against Stigma is to
have 250 chief executives – including elected
officials - join the campaign and to reach half
a million employees. Any Massachusetts
company or organization with at least 50
employees can take part.
For more information about CEOs
Against Stigma, contact NAMI Western
Mass at 413-786-9139.
Santucci, who volunteers every year. “The
community means a lot to [all of] us and it’s
nice to be able to do something to bring people together.”
With a goal of making each year’s day a
little sweeter, Chartrand hopes to surpass
how much was served up last year – 18 gallons of ice cream and 150 sundaes.
“This time of year, people get a little stir
crazy inside as the holidays are in the rear
view…ice cream for breakfast is just the ticket,” he said.
Attendees can let their taste buds do the
talking as they choose vanilla and/or chocolate ice cream, and select between toppings
of strawberry sauce, hot fudge and caramel
sauce as well as a cornucopia of confections,
such as jimmies, chocolate chips, an assortment of crushed candy bars, granola, gummy
bears, Oreo bits and M&M's. All sundaes
will be topped with a dollop of whipped
cream and a cherry.
For those seeking to make a unique delicacy of their own, a small sundae, which
includes two scoops of ice cream, will cost
$4, and a large sundae, which includes four
scoops of ice cream, will cost $6. Patrons can
add a brownie or a cider doughnut for an
additional $1. Choice of coffee, water and
assorted juices will be offered free of charge
with the purchase of a sundae.
Patrons will dine upon their unique flavor
combinations thanks to the yearly donations
provided by local businesses Friendly’s Ice
Cream, Randall’s Farm and Greenhouse, and
Big Y Supermarket.
Locals can dine on Breakfast for Ice
Cream from 8 a.m. to noon at First Church in
Ludlow at 859 Center St. on Saturday, Feb. 6.

Laura O’Keefe, the Social Studies chairperson at BMS was again this year the contest's official coordinator and moderator, with
the following social studies teachers serving
as the official time keepers and judges: Kevin
Weiss, Dennis Quinn, Anna Baboval, Bonnie
Manchester, and Tina Russo.
O'Keefe reports that three, sixth-graders;
three, seventh-graders; and four, eighthgraders were the top-scorers in the schoolwide preliminary competition. Sixth grade
contestants included Aaron Picard, Katherine
Tassinari, and Victoria Sagan. The seventh
grade was represented by Joshua Gunn,
Erin Lucas, and Jackie Doucette. The
eighth grade participants included Gabby
Walczak, Jocelyn Trajkovski, Sydney
Trigilio, and Morgan Cavanaugh. After
many rounds, Joshua Gunn won the honor
of school champion, with Erin Lucas coming in second place and Jackie Doucette
grabbing third place. Joshua will now take
an online geography exam to see if he
qualifies to compete at the state level this
spring.
“I am absolutely delighted about Josh's
achievement. He truly represents the best of
Baird, and, as his principal, I couldn't be
prouder,” Joseph Langone, BMS principal
said. “Way to go, Josh! I additionally want
to congratulate all of the contestants for a

The
Student artwork shines a light
on creativity and talent
LUDLOW – When walking down the
second floor hallway at Baird Middle School
you are met with some amazing artwork created by students in Robert Nummy’s art
classes.
Like neon lights, the talent shining from
the artwork beckons you to stop and admire
the array of artistic designs displayed on the
walls. Each piece reminiscent of a quote by
Edgar Degas, “Art is not what you see, but
what you make others see.” Nummy
explained that the displays are a combination
of artwork by grade level, "Notan Design is
the 6th grade project, People in Motion
Project is the seventh grade project with the
Still Life and Color Theory both being
eighth grade projects.” Jordan Funk, BMS
librarian, admires the displays each day on
her way to the library. “ The continuous rotation of art on display celebrates our students'
talents outside of the tested academic subjects. Nummy successfully gets students to
put themselves into their art, which affirms
their personal interests and passions. It's
interesting to see how different students
interpret the same subject. Success in art
class gives them the confidence boost to try
difficult things in other areas of their lives.”
Of his students artwork Nummy proudly
shared, “The talent these students display at
this level is always amazing to me. When I
introduce a new, unfamiliar art project, such
as notan design, I will admit, it seems like a
daunting task; however I am always blown
away at the end of a project. As an art
teacher it is awesome to their artistic confidence explode and their talents shine.”
Nummy further explained that “all artwork is
a process. Before the end project is revealed
students have been exposed to several mini
lessons such as, contour, contrast, value, proportions, sketching, etc.” He added that each
seventh and eighth grade student additionally
Sixth grader Aaron Picard holds up his
design.

has a writing requirement that encourages
them to reflect on their completed art project
and allows him an insight into how he can
better prepare to teach future classes. Mary
Dobek, BMS assistant principal shared her
thoughts about the art classes, "Students
enjoy taking Mr. Nummy's art class. He nurtures each student to find their creative side
and they love the challenge."
Eighth grade student Rebecca Wehner
commented, “I love to draw. This is my first
year taking an art class at Baird and I am really enjoying it. Mr. Nummy is great!” Eighth
grader Michael Morgado completed a still
life and proudly stated, “ I totally surprised
myself because I didn’t think I could draw
like that! I learned many artistic terms and
techniques including: value that shows how
something looks in relation with light around
it, contrast is how different colors compliment each other, and contour shows the outlines of different things.” 6th grader Aaron
Seventh grader Riley Hess with her piece.
Picard shared, “I did a notan design, which
was pretty cool. I learned how to cut paper
and glue it to another piece of paper; making
it look like a mirror image.” Eighth grade student Riley Hess created a people in motion
drawing of a ballerina, explaining, “Mr.
Nummy told us to pick something we like
and are familiar with so since I am a dancer I
decided to draw a ballerina. I drew the skeleton, then the body over the skeleton and finished it with details.”
Patricia Gregoire, LPS School Committee
Member shared her thoughts about the
importance of art education, “We find that so
many schools are eliminating art programs
due to budget constraints. Fortunately,
Ludlow Public Schools has retained the art
programs for all of our students. The instruction of art provides an outlet for students to
be inspired, educated and motivated. Mr.
Nummy is an asset to our district; mentoring
amazing young artists.” Diana Roy, LPS curriculum director echoed Gregoire’s sentiment
stating, “The study of art integrates virtually all
of the other knowledge and skill areas--reading, writing, math, science, history, sociology,
music--all the while engaging students in the
highest order of thinking, which is creativity.
As the tide turns to a realization that schools
need to be producing divergent thinkers and
problem solvers, classes like art have become
essential.” Joseph Langone, BMS principal,
proudly added, “"I am continually impressed
by our students' artistic talents and abilities
and equally impressed by Mr. Nummy's
uncanny knack to get the best out of every
student, during every class period of every
day."
Albert Einstein once said, “Creativity is
intelligence having fun. “ After spending time
with Nummy, and his very talented students,
there are two definite takeaways: Nummy
will continue to inspire and tap the intelligence and talents of his students and they, in
turn, will share their fun creativity with us all!

Visiting Brownies topple Ludlow
By Tim Peterson
Turley Publications
Sports Correspondent
LUDLOW - It has been more
than 10 years since the Agawam
boys basketball team captured a
league title.
The Brownies, who are members of the Suburban League,
remained undefeated in league play
following a 60-44 road victory
against the Ludlow Lions, last
Tuesday night, Jan. 19. It was the
Brownies fourth consecutive win,
which have all come on the road,
and they also reached the 60-point
plateau for the fifth time this season.
“This is a very good league win
for us,” said Agawam head coach
Dave Federico. “We just need to
continue working hard and keep
getting better every day. If we can
do that, everything will fall into
place for us this year.”
The 16-point win against
Ludlow improved Agawam’s overall record at 5-3 and their league
record to 3-0. Two of the Brownies
first three losses were by one point
against East Longmeadow (59-58)
and Westfield (61-60).
“We did lose a couple of very
close games at the beginning of the
regular season,” Federico added.
“Those two games were very good
learning experiences for us and
we’ve made some adjustments
since then.”

LUDLOW - For the Ludlow
girls varsity basketball season, the
2015-2016 season has been filled
with learning experiences.
The education continued for the
Lady Lions last week with their
contests against East Longmeadow
and Ludlow. The game against
Ludlow provided the girls with their
first opportunity at playing a conference game, which opens up another
avenue for the Lady Lions to qualify for the Western Massachusetts
Tournament play.
Unfortunately it did not get off
to the start that they would have
liked as they dropped a 35-29 decision to East Longmeadow.
No further statistical information
was available on that game as of
press time.
Ludlow then had the opportunity to face what many coaches in the
region are considering the top team
in Western Massachusetts this seaPlease see LUDLOW GIRLS,

the back of the net for the Ludlow hockey
team in their three contests against Auburn,
Westfield and Littleton.
The Lions managed just three goals total
in the three contests.
Steven Senerchia scored the lone goal
for Ludlow in the second period against
Auburn on an assist from Devin

third quarter.
The other three double figure scorers for
the visiting team were senior forward Jon
Leclair, who came off the bench to score 12
of his 13 points in the opening half, senior
center Sean Moore added 12 points, and junior guard Meesha Ohradka finished with 10
points.
Ludlow, who was looking to get into the
win column for first time since last January,
saw their overall record fall to 0-9 and their
league record to 0-3.
“I thought we played a little bit better
tonight than we’ve had in our past few
games,” said Ludlow head coach Dan
Falvey, “We just keep making little mistakes, which hurt us. You really can’t afford
too make very many mistakes at this level.”
It marked the first time that the Lions
scored more than 40 points in their last four
games. They scored a season-high 47 points
against Monson in the season opener.
The Lions two double figures scorers in
the first meeting of the season against the
Brownies were junior Exavier Navedo and
sophomore forward Alec Albright, who both
scored a career-high 10 points. Junior guard
Matt Jordan came off the bench and scored
seven points.
The Lions raced out to a 6-2 lead 2:00
into the opening quarter following a putback
basket by junior forward Jourdon Starks (4
points).
Less than a minute later, the Brownies
took the lead for the first time at 7-6 following an inside hoop by Moore and a threepointer from the left side by Ohradka.
With five minutes left in the opening
quarter, a layup by Albright gave Ludlow the
lead for the final time in the ballgame.
After a made free throw by Moore,
Leclair knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers, which pushed the Brownies lead to 14-8
with 2:00 left in the opening quarter.
Ludlow entered the second stanza only
trailing, 15-12, on a put-back basket by junior forward Max Matias (four points). Then
two made free throws by Jordan cut the

The
Public Safety
Grant will keep children,
seniors ‘S.A.F.E.’
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
LUDLOW – The Ludlow Fire
Department has been awarded a state grant
for the Student Awareness of Fire Education
(S.A.F.E.) Program, to be used towards
teaching safety to students this fiscal year.
Separate funding will also support a new
Senior S.A.F.E. Program, teaching prevention to the age group most at-risk of fatality
caused by fire.
From the grant, $4,837 has been awarded
to the Ludlow Fire Department by the state
Department of Fire Services for the S.A.F.E.
Program, with another $2,917 has been
awarded for Senior S.A.F.E.
“It’s very rewarding teaching children
through the S.A.F.E. Program and I think
in Ludlow we’ve seen a direct impact on
fire safety…even just with the use of 9-11, we’ve seen a lot of six or seven year
olds call for their parents and successfully
get help,” said Fire Prevention Officer
Capt. Ryan M. Pease. “This program has
been very instrumental in helping educate
the youth.”
Pease explained that specially trained fire
educators carry out the S.A.F.E. Program, pri-
marily with students in kindergarten through
third grade in all elementary schools. The
department also attempts to include all
preschools in their fire education throughout
the year. Students go through interactive stations, which teach them how to safely escape
a fire in the dark, how to exit via a window,
how to respond to smoke detectors and how
to employ proper stop-drop-and-roll techniques.
Students are also taught how to call 9-1-1
and how to develop a fire safety plan for their
homes. They are familiarized with firefighters in full gear and explained that they can
always approach firefighters and police officers for help. Fire educators speak to students
in older grades in the classroom about safety
issues.
Pease said Ludlow Fire Department has
been carrying out student safety programs
since the mid-1980s, before the programs
were grant-funded.
“This is the 21st year of the S.A.F.E.
Program in Massachusetts and we are
truly reaching our goal of raising a firesafe generation of children,” said State
Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan. “The
average number of children whom die in
fires each year in Massachusetts has
Ludlow Police
Arrest Log
dropped by over 70-percent since the
program started.”
Senior S.A.F.E. Programs will be administered in conjunction with Ludlow Senior
Center monthly meetings throughout the
year, with occasional programs at Keystone
Commons. Senior S.A.F.E. Programs focus
on home safety in regards to heating and
cooking, as well as proper use of smoke
detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and fire
extinguishers.
Pease explained that through the grant, the
Department was also able to purchase 10
Knox Boxes for seniors with prevalent disabilities and medical conditions. The
Department is looking into purchasing more
in 2016 with the allocated Senior S.A.F.E.
grant funding.
“We’ve been buying residential Knox
Boxes for seniors as part of the grant
funding…they’re key boxes that only
the Ludlow Fire Department can key
into, where residents leave a spare key
for us. It enables us to get to seniors in
need without breaking a door or window,” said Pease. “We have these boxes
all around town and thus far they’ve
been pretty helpful in serving our seniors.”
The Ludlow Police Department responded
to 277 calls for service from Sunday, Jan. 17
through Saturday, Jan. 23. The department’s
police officers made seven arrests or summons
arrests. There were no arrests made for domestic violence related crimes. Per Massachusetts
state law, no names of persons arrested for
domestic violence charges can be publicly disseminated. Those arrested or summonsed will
appear at future dates in court and are innocent until proven guilty. All information is provided by the Ludlow Police Department.
Sunday, Jan. 17
Jason P. Monson, 39, of Ludlow, was
arrested on Oak Street for two outstanding
arrest warrants.
Friday, Jan. 22
Alec T. Laberge-Rosemond, 21, of
Ludlow, was arrested on Prospect Street near
Whitney Park on a charge of assault and battery with a Dangerous Weapon.
Pamela E. Moffat, 23, of Ludlow, was
arrested on Arch Street on charges of five
counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and five counts of kidnapping.
Miranda V. Lavender, 20, of Ludlow, was
arrested on Arch Street on charges of two
counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

The
Business
Big Cloud Vape Shop wafts into town
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
INDIAN ORCHARD – When
family-owned Big Cloud Vape
Shop opened last May, the biggest
concern for its partners was the 518
Main St. address at which it resides.
The location, however, has proved
to be a valuable asset in the business’ early success.
“When you open a business,
you get very nervous,” said Big
Cloud Vape Shop partner Peggy
Drollett. “You don’t know what to
expect from your location until you
are open, but we have customers
that are really great and consistently
do business with us. Between people consistently coming from here
in Indian Orchard and from
Ludlow, this location has been great
to us.”
Big Cloud Vape Shop sells an
expansive catalog of vaping apparatuses, individual components,
replacement parts and premium eliquids.
In opening a business related to
a new industry, Peggy Drollett
and fellow partners Adam
Drollett, Cheryl Fasano and
Ralph Criscio knew there were
going to be a wide range of variables that could affect the success
of their business.
“It’s such a new industry. The
bad thing about that is that there is
constantly new information to
TURLEY PUBLICATIONS STAFF PHOTO BY TYLER W. LEAHY
Customers glance at products and e-liquids available at Big Cloud Vape Shop on Jan. 13.
keep updated on, but the good
thing about it is the vaping community in itself is a place where
everyone wants to help each other
because the products are so new
and they’re ever-changing,” said
Drollett.
Drollett noted that the most
impactful part of business to her is
seeing how consistently customers
quit smoking cigarettes by transitioning to vaping. After seeing
many loved ones suffer from
health issues related to cigarette
smoking, she is happy to help
people switch to a seemingly safer
alternative. She keeps in mind a
75-year-old customer from
Wilbraham that she helped transition away from smoking cigarettes after 52 years of doing so.
“I know there is controversy
surrounding the safety of vaping,
but at this point in time I really feel
there is nothing proving that it’s not
a safer alternative to smoking,” said
Drollett.
To Drollett, what cigarette
smoking and electronic vaping
have in common is the social
component. She feels that vaping
has become a social activity in the
same way that cigarette smoking
was socially prevalent in past
generations. To cater to the socialness, Big Cloud Vape Shop hosts
classes on how to use vaping
apparatuses and holds other social
events.
“The vaping community is
becoming so large and it’s unique
in that everybody wants to help
each other. People are so friendly
and welcoming, and it’s this one
common ground that brings people
from all walks of life together,” said
Drollett.
Now that Big Cloud Vape
Shop has been open for over half
of a year, Drollett hopes that the
family business will continue to
roll out not only more social
events, but more anti-smoking
campaigns and more opportunities to educate people on vaping
as an alternative.
Big Cloud Vape Shop is open
Monday through Friday from 10
a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from
noon to 5 p.m. The shop can be
contacted at 413-543-8273 or
[email protected].
