Ludlow named
‘National
Young Marine
of the Year’
Bassett to lead
Memorial Day
Parade
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer

Staff Writer
LUDLOW – Ludlow’s
Memorial Day Parade will be led
by a distinguished woman who
works diligently to improve the
lives of veterans in town, retired
Senior Master Sgt. of the U.S. Air
Force Christine Bassett.
“I definitely wasn’t expecting
it,” said Bassett of being named
Honorary Parade Marshal. “It’s
certainly a very humbling experience and I’m extremely honored. It
makes me want to do more for veterans and for people in the community.”
Bassett is entering her fourth
year as Post Commander of Sgt.
Joshua D. Desforges VFW Post
3236. She is the first Ludlow
woman to ever command Post
3236. In the coming months, she
will also become District
Commander of 20 Western Mass.
Posts, the first woman to do so,
after being elected last month.
Under Bassett’s leadership, Post
3236 has been recognized with
both All-State and All-American
statuses multiple times.
“A lot of what makes our Post
so successful is the cooperation
and commitment of people in
town,” said Bassett.
She explained that much of the
requirements to achieve All-State
and All-American statuses rely on
community involvement, including
membership and recruiting work,
as well as projects that incorporate
students, teachers, Boy Scouts and
Girl Scouts.
Bassett has over 28 years of Air
Force experience, serving over 26
years as an Active Guard Reserve
at Barnes Air National Guard Base
in Westfield. At Barnes, Bassett
worked in airfield management,
out on the airfield and with the
base operations desk. She worked
closely with fighter pilots assigned
to the unit, responsible for safety of
runways.
“In that job, it was very important to ensure the safety of pilots,
the aircrafts and the airfields,” said
Bassett. “In 2001 I was fortunate
enough to be promoted to Senior
Master Sergeant…by the first day
of January 2009, I was officially
retired from the military.”
During her active duty, Bassett
served abroad in a variety of places
including Germany, Turkey and
Kuwait. Her most memorable
experience however, was during a
2003 stint in the Middle East, at a

LAS VEGAS, NV – After flying across the world to follow in
the legendary footsteps of veterans
– well before his time – on the
shores of Red Beach, Iwo Jima,
one Ludlow High School junior has
taken one recent honor to a whole
new level on a global scale.
After earning the title of
Division 1 "Young Marine of the
Year," 17-year-old Joseph Bacon
has been named the "National
Young Marine of the Year" at the
Adult Leaders' Conference for
Young Marines on Saturday, May 7
in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"I had multiple emotions when
my name was announced," Bacon
said. "I was happy, surprised, confused, excited, honored, humbled
and nervous all at the same time. It
was absolutely overwhelming."
Bacon, a member of the
Westover Young Marines as a
Sergeant Major based in Chicopee,
competed for the honor among five
other Division Young Marines of
the Year.
"The Young Marines has
changed my life. It has improved
my ability to speak publicly, keep
calm under pressure, lead a group
of people, and my physical
endurance," he said. "I cannot
express how thankful I am for the
Young Marines and what they’ve
done for me."
The Young Marines is a national
non-profit youth education and
service program for boys and girls,
age 8 through the completion of

Ludlow veterans teach students the meaning of Memorial Day
By Anne Marie Corrieri
Special to The Register
LUDLOW – As Memorial Day
approaches, Ludlow Veterans were
invited to visit Chapin Street
School to explain the history and
importance of this federal holiday
to each second and third grade
classroom. Students and staff welcomed James Jyz, U.S. Air Force;
Eric Segundo, director of Ludlow
Veterans Services and Christine
Bassett, retired U.S. Air Force and
Commander of the Ludlow VFW
Post 3236.
"We welcome the opportunity to
visit schools because it is important
to bring an awareness of the meaning of Memorial Day at a young
age so children understand the day
is about honoring those who have
given the ultimate sacrifice for our

freedom," commented Segundo.
"It is also important to educate
them about gold star families, such
as the Desforges family in
Ludlow."
During their visit the Veterans
not only talked about the meaning
of Memorial Day, but also shared
the story of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars "Buddy" Poppy.
Students were excited when the
Veterans gave each of them their
very own red silk poppy, and a
placemat that tells the story of
Flander’s Field.
"Today we learned that
Memorial Day is a day to remember people who were in the service
and died," shared 3rd grader Adrian
Martins.
Carrie Joseph, a third grade
teacher at Chapin Street School,
and the wife of a retired a U.S.
Army National Guard member,
also graciously donated four copies
of the book, The Poppy Lady, written by Barbara Elizabeth Walsh to
Chapin Street School so that each
classroom teacher could read the
book to their students, as a followup activity to the visit.
As third grader Sophia
Scyocurka explained, "The red
poppy flower is worn in honor of
the soldiers that died. The poppy
flowers grew in a cemetery where
soldiers were buried. The Poppy
Lady asked people to wear poppies
on their shirts to remember the soldiers who died."
Before leaving each classroom,
Director Segundo reminded the students about the yearly Memorial
Day Parade that, this year, is scheduled for May 30th. 3rd grader
Caitlyn Day explained that this will
be her 4th year walking in the
parade with Girl Scout Troop
12814 "and this year I’ll wear the
red poppy I was given today to
remind me of the soldiers that
died."

LUDLOW—The Annual Town
Meeting, held May 9, was met with relatively standard action towards maintaining Ludlow’s stable municipal operations.
The town voted to appropriate the
$44,000 needed to conduct an annual
town audit for the fiscal year ending
June 30. Select Board Vice Chairman
William E. Rooney explained that the
article is intended to allocate funds to
conduct an audit studying the spending
compliance of grant funds secured by
the town.
After approval, a total of
$62,882,620 will be used for necessary
town purposes during FY 2017, including the fixed salaries of all town elected
officials.
While set to not exceed $5,000 in
previous year, due to budgetary confines the town approved a $3,000 allocation, well under the cap, to be
expended by the Celebrate Ludlow
Committee. The funds will be used for
fireworks and general expenses.
Further, gifts and donations will be
allowed to be deposited in a previously
established Special Revenue Fund.
"Because of finances, we understand
that the it has been asked to be $3,000,"
said Celebrate Ludlow Committee
Chairwoman Christine Peacey. "We
sent out 780 donation letters to businesses last year and we only got back
200 of them. So we are asking that you
please support the $3,000," she later
added.
The town also approved a change
in increment steps for non-union personnel in various positions not covered
by a bargaining unit. The amendment
will mean a two-percent compensation
increase for positions, including:
schedule-five custodians, schedule-14
inspectors, schedule-14 cable television positions, schedule-14 information technology positions, special
police officers, finger printers, schedule-four crossing guards and matrons
and schedule-13 management positions.
During the special town meeting
session held after the general town
meeting session on May 9, $3.2 million
up-front funding was approved for roof
repair, boiler replacement and accessibility work at East Street Elementary
School.
"The MSBA (Massachusetts School
Building Association) will not participate in the accessibility portion of this
project," explained School Committee
Chairman Chip Harrington.
For the roof repair and boiler
replacement, the MSBA will reimburse
the town of Ludlow at a 58.7-percent
rate, totaling $1,327,366. The MSBA
determines grant rates based on need.
Randall's Grown
Any project costs the town incurs in
excess of any grant approved by and
received from the MSBA shall be the
sole responsibility of the town.
To cover Ludlow Police Department
overtime expenditures, $25,000 will be
taken from the town’s free cash
account.
"This [overtime] account is intended
for vacation days, personal time and
banked days off. Instead, it has had to
cover numerous emergency stayover
and call-in events, dispatch overtime,
narcotics, homicide and other investigative actions" said Rooney.
Rooney added that there have been
numerous injuries within the police
department, as well as two retirements
and three open positions increasing the
demand for other officers to be paid
overtime.
"I’m asking for your support on this
article," said Ludlow Police Chief Paul
Madera. "We’ve done a lot to mitigate
this cost…and it is money well spent. We
just want to make sure we can cover our
expenses until the end of the fiscal year."
Increases in dog licensure fees were
approved. Spayed and neutered dog
licensures will now cost $15, while
non-spayed and non-neutered will cost
$20. The increase will allow expended
by the Conservation Commission up
to a $5,000 limit for the care and
maintenance of a dog park in Camp
White.

The
Marijuana discussion goes up in smoke
200 residents attend
selectmen’s meeting
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
LUDLOW – The marijuana meeting was
postponed after roughly 200 residents packed
the seats – and any additional standing space
– of the downstairs hearing rooms in the
Town Hall, as well as the hallway outside of
it, for last week’s select board meeting.
The meeting had been moved downstairs
in the building in anticipation of drawing a
large crowd after a previous meeting’s tension related to a discussion about Happy
Valley Ventures LLC’s proposed medical
marijuana facility on 84 Westover Road.
Even before hearing rooms were
unlocked for the Tuesday night meeting, a
line of residents formed in the hallway. And
while participation in town government is
always appreciated – and welcome – unfortunately the room's posted capacity wasn’t as
accommodating.
"Mr. chairman, you have a lot of people in
the hallway that cannot hear and cannot
see…how are you going to handle that?" resident and School Committee Vice Chairman
Michael Kelliher inquired. "This room only
holds 78 people…we’re at capacity."
Select Board Chairman Brian Mannix
responded taking the attendance of the room
in, "we’ll do the best we can." He also indicated that there was only one additional
microphone in the room available for [potential] public use.
As members encouraged those crowding
the doorway to try and squeeze in the best
they could – all before Happy Valley
Ventures had even arrived in the room.
Once the Newton-based team arrived,
Mannix indicated that the presentation they
had provided during an April meeting would
need to be conducted again. As there was
some question about the votes taken at both
the April meeting and the one prior, shouts of
"No!" from the massive crowd started to fill
the heavily congested air space.
"That’s what we’re here to do
tonight…start right from scratch," Mannix
said.
While residents were encouraged to pack
in even tighter into the room, after some time,
it was quickly determined that this would be
a violation of the state’s open meeting bylaw
because there was no larger – posted – space
that could be moved into to ensure that everyone could hear and communicate about what
was going on.
"In all fairness to Happy Valley and everyone that’s here, it’s going to be very difficult
to hear what’s being said," resident John
DaCruz pointed out. He further suggested
tabling the discussion and re-posting it so that

as many residents wanted to participate in the
talk, could do so at a larger venue.
"In all fairness…we’ve been here three
times now…I flew up from Florida…this
guy flew up from South Carolina…there’s
got to be some way we can do this," said
Andrea F. Nuciforo Jr., an attorney that represents Happy Valley Ventures through the firm
Nuciforo Law Group.
As Nuciforo continued to see if there was
an option to continue the talk that evening –
at a potential different locale – Selectman
William Rooney noted that he was not comfortable with that decision.
"We’ve already run into two potential
open meeting violations…I’m not looking for three strikes and you’re out," he
said. "And again, with all due respect to
you folks, I don’t want to shut these folks
out."
He said the votes that came from the April
19 and May 3 meetings "may have been" in
violation.
Amidst the lull from determining the best
solution for the discussion, resident Anna
Maria Dias passed around a petition she started that she hopes will take the marijuana
facility option right off the table.
"The whole community is troubled by
this," she said. "I love this town…I’ve raised
my kids here. This is not Ludlow. It doesn’t
belong here."
She said in the course of a few hours that
night, she had already collected 200 signatures and has aims to gather 1,000.
After the board heard from a number of
residents, they ultimately decided with a 5-0
vote to hold an official public hearing on
Tuesday, May 31 at 6 p.m. at Ludlow High
School. There, Happy Valley Ventures will
make another presentation on their proposed
facility and residents will have the opportunity to have their voices heard. With that being
said, Michael Reardon, founder and chairman
of Happy Valley Ventures, suggested a vote
be taken immediately following the talk on
May 31.
"I don’t think we can promise that to anybody," Rooney said, adding that additional
research may be needed.
Ludlow resident Michele ManganaroThompson, requested "no further conversation with Happy Valley" by the board until
the May 31 public hearing, to which Mannix
said would not happen.
In the end, board members encouraged all
residents to attend the upcoming meeting.
"Within three years, the town of Ludlow
could see $500,000 in new taxes coming in
from this facility," said Mannix. "This
amount could go as high as $800,000 and
more over the next few years adding those
taxes each year to the town. This is a matter
of importance to all Ludlow residents. Come,
listen, and be heard."
Ludlow receives $702,764
for Chap. 90 funding
LUDLOW –Gov. Charlie Baker has
announced the state’s $200 million bill for
Chapter 90 funding, which includes
$702,764 allocated to Ludlow for FY
2017, an increase of over $100,000 from
the previous year. The town was awarded
$701,753 for fiscal year 2016.
Chapter 90 is a state-funded reimbursement program, providing funds to all
Massachusetts municipalities for roadway
projects. The Chapter 90 program was first
enacted in 1973.
"These funds will go a long way in help-

ing cities and towns pay for road and bridge
repairs. However, for many communities it
may not still be enough," said state Sen.
Eric P. Lesser, D-Longmeadow. "I'm working hard to ensure cities and towns receive
the local aid they need to fund these vital
repair projects."
The program is targeted towards road
building. Chapter 90 funds could be spent on
road surfacing or the equipment needed to do
so, for example. It cannot be spent on projects
like line striping or snowplowing. Most commonly, funds are utilized for road resurfacing.

Each morning when I wake I know that you are gone.
No one knows the heartache as I try to carry on.
My heart still aches with sadness and many tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
My thoughts are always with you. Your place no one can fill.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.
There will always be heartache and often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here.

and asked about the word I had written on
my hand, ‘UNIFY’. I explained the ‘Unify
Selfie Challenge’ and he responded with
‘That's awesome!’ Before I knew it, we were
taking a photograph together," she said. "The
idea is to write the word UNIFY on the back
of your hand, cover your mouth and take a
selfie. It's that simple. By placing your hand
over your mouth, you're symbolizing the
silence associated with bullying. The word
UNIFY represents how we're all coming
together to do something about it."
When asked what it meant to have a photograph taken with the governor, she
responded with a smile, "He's a big governor
with an even bigger heart."
Unify Against Bullying issues grants to
children, teachers, administrators and organizations dedicated to bringing an end to bullying. For more information on Unify Against

LUDLOW – While most girls celebrating
their 13th birthday focus on cakes and presents, Julianna Zemba instead used hers to ask
the governor of Massachusetts to help spread
the word about a new charity called, Unify
Against Bullying. The nonprofit was founded
by her family, along with the help of many
fellow students and parents earlier this year.
On May 6, Julianna and her brothers,
Kyle, 15 and Robbie, 10, along with their
parents, Edward and Susanna, attended a
fundraiser for James "Chip" Harrington,
Massachusetts State Senate candidate for
the 1st Hampden and Hampshire
Districts. While at the event, the kids
were given the opportunity to meet Gov.
Charlie Baker.
When approaching the 6-foot, 6-inch
Baker, Julianna was a little nervous.

Finding the way
LUDLOW – Learning and enjoying
outdoor skills is one method used by the
Boy Scouts of America to develop tomorrow's leaders and people with ethical
standards and a sense of the importance
of community service. Recently demonstrated was Troop 180's success with their
first place overall finish in the General
Knox District's spring camporee. And it's
not just boys: five young women from
Crew 180 have been accepted to staff
rock climbing activities at the 2017
National Jamboree, expected to host
45,000 Boy Scouts from across the country.
Cub Scouts get into the action, too.
Pack 180's Bear Den, all third graders,
have been having their meetings at Camp
Falconer where they un-plug from the
electronic world to learn Scoutcraft. The
boys have been learning navigation using
compass and topographic maps, how to
make a campfire, and putting knots
they've learned to use.
Cub Scouting is a family program that
embraces values, the outdoors, and
encourages excellence. Boys work
together in small groups with other boys
in the same grade. The advancement program is centered on the ability by grade.
Each grade has their own rank:
Kindergartners are Lions, first graders are
Tigers, second graders are Wolfs, and
third graders are Bears. A transition to
Boy Scout program called Webelos is for
fourth and fifth graders.
Cub Scout Pack 180, Boy Scout
Troop 180, and Venture Crew 180 are
chartered to St. Elizabeth Parish and all
youth in the community are welcome.

"I have known Joseph Bacon for the
last three years and his dedication to the
Young Marines is unmatched!" said
Kimberly Babin, Chicopee director of
Veterans Services. "He is like this in all
aspects of his life with academics,
sports and clubs. Joseph is the epitome
of the all-American boy!"
With the distinguished honor, Bacon
will travel throughout the country representing the Young Marines, and he will
be a mentor for the 9,600 youth members of the organization.
"Joseph has proven himself a dedicated leader," said Bill Davis, national
executive director and CEO of the
Young Marines. "When we traveled to
Iwo Jima in March, I was able to see
firsthand what an outstanding Young
Marine he is. It is a huge accomplishment to be named National Young
Marine of the Year, and he will be a fine
ambassador and spokesperson for the
next year."
Bacon is a member of the Westover
Young Marines under the command of
Edward Mitrook in Chicopee.
"My unit commander, Sgt. Major
Mitrook; division 1 commander, Mr.
Ditrich; and training officer, Mr.
Barthelette, were all very excited when
I received national Young Marine of the
Year," Bacon said. "They have changed
my life and I can't express in words
how much they have helped me."
In addition, Bacon's parents were
present along with his aunt, uncle,
cousin, a family friend, grandfather,
grandmother and his unit training officer.
"They were all very excited and
happy for me," he said. "They have supported me the whole way and were just
as happy as I was. It was awesome having all of them there."
Bacon joined the Young Marines at
age 10 and currently, he is in his seventh year in the program. He credits the
Young Marines for teaching him leadership skills and the ability to speak publicly.
"Absolutely everything I learned in
the Young Marines has guided and
helped me through life so far, and it
always will," he said. "The Young
Marines has instilled in me discipline
and confidence which will help me
reach my goals and help me through
every challenge I meet. This opportunity as National Young Marine of the
Year is something of my dreams and
something I have been working toward
the last seven years in the program. I

look forward to this upcoming year and
already great program."
Outside of the Young Marines,
Bacon likes to play football for his high
school. He plans to go to college, pursue a degree in engineering and become
an officer in the military when he finishes college.
"We are very proud of Joseph. He
has worked very hard for this. We can’t
thank Christian Barthelette, Robert

enough for their sacrifice and commitment to not only our son, but also to the
Young Marines as a whole," said

Be 1 in a Million

Guest Columnist
W
e all know the standard greeting, "How
are you?" and its polite companion
answer: "Fine."
It’s unusual when the response to "How are
you?" reaches beyond manners to an uncomfortable truth: "Not good."
Sam Winter had a feeling that something was
wrong when his buddy Max didn’t show up for
practice. It’s not that Max had never missed practice; it was that Sam knew that Max had been
struggling with depression and anxiety. So, Sam
texted Max, "Hey, are things cool? How are you?"
"Not good," was Max’s answer.
We’ve all been worried about a friend, a family member or a neighbor at one time or another.
We can sense when something isn’t quite right,
but we want to be respectful. We don’t want to
intrude or say the wrong thing.
Sam knew exactly what to do. He had been
trained in Mental Health First Aid where he
learned how to recognize and respond when
someone might be experiencing a mental health
or addiction problem.
Sam left practice and drove to his friend’s
house. He sat with Max, listened to and talked
about Max’s feelings – without judgment. Sam
gave Max the information from Mental Health
First Aid about where and how Max could access
help. He encouraged Max to turn to their friends,
his family and even the coach for support. Soon
after, Max started working with a counselor he
likes and doing much better. He got help. He was
diagnosed with depression and a substance use
disorder that his friends and family had not
known about. He is doing much better today.
This story begins with a person trained in
Mental Health First Aid noticing that something
isn’t right. The story ends with the person in distress getting needed help.
When we don’t have an action plan for stepping in when someone is experiencing a mental
health or substance use problem – the stories can
end much differently.
Mental Health First Aid takes much of the fear
and hesitation out of offering support to someone
in an emotional crisis. It provides critical tools for
helping people that can mean the difference
between life and death.
Today, more than 550,000 Americans are
trained in Mental Health First Aid. That’s 550,000
people who would know when and how to react
to a person in crisis. Behavioral Health Network
(BHN) is proud to be a partner in that progress. In
a nation of more than 318 million people,
550,000 is just the beginning.
May is Mental Health Month. We recognize
the incredible strides we’ve made in promoting
understanding, increasing opportunities and
improving the lives of people living with mental
health and substance use problems. Mental
Health Month is also our opportunity to commit
to doing more.
In January, the National Council for Behavioral
Health launched the "Be 1 in a Million" campaign
– a national effort to train one million people in
Mental Health First Aid. You can become part of
the Be 1 in a Million movement. Get trained.
Spread the word. Learn to offer skillful support to
someone in need. Because – as Sam knows – recognizing how and when to step in and offer help
can change, even save, a life. Contact Meg
Mastriana, senior program manger at BHN for
more information on how BHN can get you registered for Mental Health First Aid. Call Meg at 413301-9352 or [email protected].
Come join us and become one in a million.

MAC was a success!
To the Editor:
As we review the joys and successes of our
23rd Annual juried Spring Art Exhibition & Sale,
the Monson Arts Council would like to express our
pride in the show, and our appreciation to all those
who help make it happen.
For starters, here are just two quotes from our
guest book:
"This is an amazing collection of ‘local’ artists!
It is wonderful seeing so much talent in one spot.!’
(A Monson visitor)
"I love the curating! The artwork always
exceeds any expectations. Thank you from a former juror!" (Southampton)
Our show in the House of Art on Monson’s
Main Street exhibited 109 works of art by 79 area
artists. $4300 in prize money was awarded to
artists from Northampton, Stafford, Amherst,
Monson, Belchertown, West Brookfield, Ludlow,
Spencer, Ware, Suffield, and Huntington. Visitors
from all these communities came to our show.
We hosted Springfield’s Poet Laureate Maria
Luisa Arroyo in a sellout poetry workshop. Our
receptions were so well attended. Thanks to area
musicians Livestock, a local bluegrass band as
well as two talented piano player singers,
Benjamin Buck, and Ugo, and singer Gracie Ann
Aiudi who each entertained our reception visitors.
Refreshments were provided by Maureen’s Sweet
Shoppe of East Longmeadow and Tree House
Brewing Co. of Monson.
And our sponsors! Thank you to Monson
Savings Bank, whose generous support of our
prizes has helped us create an art show now known
and respected throughout the Connecticut valley
region! Many thanks to Turley Publications whose
sponsorship helps us reach out to our local communities in a major way. Thanks to Moulton
Insurance Agency, for sponsoring our prize for
most outstanding Monson Artist, to Mass Cultural
Council who helps underwrite our poetry workshop, to Monson Rocks and WARE, who co-sponsored our radio announcements, and to Roberts &
Sons Printing for underwriting our program.
Giclee Printing and Framing provided a prize for
best emerging artist entering the show.
Besides these businesses, we are also indebted
to our web designer, David Xanatos, to photographer Bill Rowley for sharing his photograph to
illustrate our theme, and to Emma Johnson, who
has served as our docent for the past five years.
Our show next year will have a new theme:
Show Us Your Colors! We look forward to seeing
you then, for most of all we thank you, who
attended our show, and told your friends about it,
and you, who purchased art. This is the best local
dollar you could ever spend.

Come, listen, and be heard
To the Editor:
The town of Ludlow will be holding a public
hearing on Tuesday, May 31 at 6 p.m. at Ludlow
High school regarding Happy Valley Ventures, Inc.
to open a medical marijuana cultivation facility on
Westover Road. Happy Valley Ventures will give a
presentation on their proposal for the growing
facility and there will be a period of time for questions and answers for those attending.
I encourage all Ludlow citizens to attend and
participate in the meeting. The issue at hand is for
medical marijuana cultivation and medical marijuana cultivation only. Some issues have been dis-
cussed at several board of selectmen meetings,
however, what has not been heard is what this
facility might mean to the taxpayers and the tax
rate in Ludlow.
Within three years, the town of Ludlow could
see $500,000 in new taxes coming in from this
facility. This amount could go as high as $800,000
and more over the next few years adding those
taxes each year to the town. This is a matter of
importance to all Ludlow residents.
Come, listen, and be heard.

donations to the National Association of
Letter Carriers 24th Annual Food Drive. A
big thank you for all the extra hard work on
the part of all letter carriers. The Community

I am writing to community members to
request financial contributions to refurbish
the outdoor basketball courts at the Baird
Middle School. This is one of a few efforts
underway by the "Light Up Ludlow Project"
to open outdoor facilities for the community.
Town and school officials are on board
with the project. The town estimates the cost
of refurbishment at $29,000, however; if we
are able to put forth a qualified contractor, I
know we can do this for much, much less –
less than $6,500.
Should you be moved to donate, please
make checks payable to the Light Up
Ludlow Project. You have the option of dropping it off at my 534 Center St. office,
Monday through Thursday between noon
and 7 p.m., or mailing it to my P.O. Box 642
in Ludlow. Your contribution will be recognized in The Register, along with a photo of
all contributors.

after day, week after week, year after year.
It is my hope to be able to guarantee
every judge appointed to the bench understands and supports our civil rights statutes
and constitutional protections for all people.
I fully support lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT) civil rights, as well as
the legislation before the Massachusetts
House and Senate that would prohibit discrimination in public accommodations on
account of a person's gender identity or gender expression.
Governor Baker and other elected officials should support the Transgender
Accommodations Bill awaiting action on
Beacon Hill. This bill will go a long way to
secure protections that all residents of the
Commonwealth should enjoy.
It has been shown that gender identity
discrimination and bullying are the leading
causes of suicide among transgendered
youth in Massachusetts. We need to help
these youth feel welcome in our schools,
families, and communities and prevent
these tragic suicides from ever happening
again.
It is critical that we protect all citizens
against discrimination. This protection
should include a new category of protected
persons based upon their gender identity or
expression. We should act swiftly to include
this category with existing protections afforded citizens based upon their race, color, religion, age, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, disability and veteran
status.
The Transgender Accommodations Bill
prohibits discrimination against transgender
people in public places such as hospitals,
restaurants, shopping malls, theaters, public
parks, hotels, and gyms. This bill is overdue.
This bill will tell the country we are not like
North Carolina or Mississippi. I hope this
bill gives strong signal that Massachusetts
welcomes and respects all citizens and does
not discriminate against persons because of
their transgender identities or gender expression.
I join with House Speaker Robert DeLeo,
state Senate President Stan Rosenberg, and
many other progressive legislators in supporting this bill.

Locals craft self-portraits
during ‘Screen-Free’ week
LUDLOW – During Hubbard
Memorial Library’s "Screen-Free" week,
the Lysak family spent time planting
marigolds, strung up some squirrel food,
drew life size self-portraits, made quicksand, and created crystal snowflakes.
Outside of the crafting, Chi Lysak said that
she and her girls, Lia and Nya, went to
Belchertown Park, grocery shopping and
performed a dancing/singing party.
Screen-Free Week began over 20 years
ago, originally called "TV Turn-Off
Week," but as time has passed, it has morphed into a national event endorsed by the
American Academy of Pediatrics, the
American Medical Association, and the
National Education Association. Though
nationally recognized this year during the
week of May 2 to May 8, knowing that
much of Ludlow’s youth utilizes technology even composing their homework, July
Siebecker, children’s/youth services librarian said it was hosted last month in April.

Springfield utility box
beautification begins
SPRINGFIELD - The Springfield Central
Cultural District (SCCD) is putting on a
unique placemaking program in Downtown
Springfield. Eighteen artists will be painting
murals on what are currently bland grey utility boxes at intersections throughout the footprint of the District.
This program was designed by the SCCD
to both encourage walking Downtown and
provide a source of income to working
artists. Artist Priya Nadkarni, painting the
box at Bridge and Main, said "Since moving
to Springfield, I have noticed a special pride
and gumption in the people of this City that I
believe is truly unique… it’s important to see
Encircled in fun…
that translate into beautifying this place and
preserving all the positives in the city."
Artists can be seen creating murals representing "unexpected beauty" from now to
Saturday, May 28. Pedestrians are invited to
stop and watch the murals come together,
and share their experiences using the hashtag
#ExperienceTheUnexpected.
The Springfield Central Cultural District
encompasses an area of the metro center of
Springfield, and is membership-based,
involving many of the arts institutions
Downtown. Its mission is to create and sustain a vibrant cultural environment in

LUDLOW – John Barlow, Chapin Street
Elementary School Physical Education
teacher, is extremely proud to report that the
annual Jump Rope for Heart Event was
recently held at Chapin Street School raising
a total of $6,995 for the American Heart
Association.
Barlow said that this year’s top fundraiser
was second grader, Ava Friese, who raised a
total of $310 and received a "Heart Hero"
medal, along with a "Top Dog" puppy for her
fundraising efforts.
When asked how she raised the money,
Friese proudly responded, "I went to my
neighbor's houses, with my Dad, and
knocked on their doors, asking them if they
wanted to help me raise money for the
American Heart Association. I couldn't
believe it, but in one night I came back with
$157. I was so surprised. It was so nice of my
neighbors and my family to help me."
Nancy Raymond's second grade students
won the honor of hanging the "Jump Rope
for Heart" banner in their classroom for winning the top honor of most money raised by a
class, with a total of $715.
To prepare for this year’s event students at
Chapin Street Elementary School spent time
in gym class practicing short and long jump
rope activities. Barlow reported that students
were also encouraged to "participate in a variety of challenges throughout the month to
test/track their growth and progress, using a
variety of fun games and activities. All of the
activities helped get them ready for the
event."
According to their website, Jump Rope
for Heart is a national education and
fundraising event sponsored by the American
Heart Association and the American Alliance
for Health, Physical Education, Recreation
and Dance (AAHPERD). This event aims at
engaging elementary and middle school students with jumping rope while empowering
them to improve their own health and help
other children with heart-health issues.
Nikki Reed, principal at the school,
reports that students have been participating
in this event for several years.
"I am very proud of all of the students and
their families for help in supporting such a
worthwhile cause. It is just one more exam-

The
Middle school makes multi-colored mayhem
Baird 5k run splashes on
many shades of fun
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
B
aird Middle School’s first-ever ColorA-Thon splashed on several shades on
fun over the weekend.
Together, Student Council advisor and seventh grade health teacher Deb Casagrande, Go
Green Club co-advisor and sixth grade science
teacher Heather Ferrier-Bacon, and Go Green
Club co-advisor Natalina Tulik organized the
event with the intention of creating an event
that’s fun – and healthy.
“Some kids ran, some walked, some
skipped, and some even danced,” said Tulik.
“However they did it, our Color-A-Thon was
a fun way to get our students up and outside
while involving the community – and have a
blast doing it!”
What made this event particularly unique
was amidst the excitement of the course, participants would be blasted with color dust.
The color dust is safe, non-toxic and completely washable. It’s made of corn starch and
color dyes approved by the FDA.
As a result of the event, $2,865.50 was
raised and 102 participants registered for the
5k. The proceeds from the event will benefit
both the Student Council and the Go Green
Garden Club. All of those registered received
a free t-shirt ad a color dye pack.
“We are very excited to host this Color-AThon event,” said Tulik. “The money will be
used for student activities sponsored by the
student council and to purchase materials for
the school garden as well. We are also looking
to have fruit and vegetable smoothies available to students twice a week either during
breakfast or lunch.”
Though there was no one there to keep
track of the times of the race – as the goal of
the race was more for “the fun of it” – the first

place finish honor went to 15-year-old Adam
DaCruz who finished with an unofficial time
of 21 minutes. Once all 102 participants had
crossed the finish line – and were doused with
a heaping helping of color – the group gathered on the law in front of Baird Middle
School and celebrated with a colorful dance
party. Organizers took the remainder of their
dye stock and took a leaf blower to disperse it
in the air to create a kaleidoscope of color and
celebration.
Tulik, Casagrande and Ferrier-Bacon also

BUSINESS
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
their ad representatives.

Ludlow’s Gregory Babin (7) bumps the ball back in the air.
LUDLOW - The last time that
the Ludlow boys varsity volleyball
team didn’t qualify for the Western
Massachusetts Tournament was in
1997.
The Lions were able to clinch
another postseason berth following
a 3-0 home win against North
Division rival Chicopee Comp at
Mullins Gymnasium, last Monday,
May 16.
"This victory takes all of the
pressure off us," said Fred Glanville,
who has been coaching the Ludlow
boys’ varsity volleyball team for the
past 21 years. "Our final two league
matches are at home against
Westfield and Minnechaug. We can
now work on some different things
in those two matches in order to prepare for the tournament."
The game scores in Ludlow’s
home win against Comp were 2516, 25-18, and 25-8.
The Lions, who had a 10-7 overall record and a 2-6 league record
following their three set victory
against the Colts, finished the regular season with a 3-0 loss against

The five seniors listed on the
Lions varsity roster are Devin

Cardaropoli, Devin Senerchia and
Sergey Vikhrev.
"All of the seniors are very
coachable and they’re great kids,"
Glanville added. "They’re also
very supportive of their teammates. It has been a pleasure
coaching them."
While Monteiro is a first-year
member of the varsity volleyball
team, and Rodriguez is a secondyear member of the team, the other
three Ludlow seniors, who are tricaptains, are four-year players.
They were members of the junior
varsity team as freshman before
joining the varsity squad the following year.

LUDLOW – Despite a small
rally late, the Holyoke baseball
team was able to hold off Ludlow
last Wednesday afternoon 8-5 at
Whitney Park in Ludlow, helping
the Knights up their standing as
they came into the final week of
the regular season.
The Knights, which now stand
at 13-4, were able to score early
and often against Ludlow’s starting
pitching.
Holyoke was able to do all of
its scoring in the first four innings
to take an 8-3 lead. The Lions
came back with a couple of runs in
the fifth inning, but would not
manage any more than that.
Alex Soares makes a play to first.
The Knights got going with a
triple in the top of the first inning
with one out. Anthony Diaz found
a gap and made it all the way
around to third base. Carlos Lopez
then drove Diaz in with an easy
ground out to second base to make
it 1-0 Holyoke.
Jose Lopez then hit a triple of
his own with one out in the second
inning. He would then score when
Josh Moskal hit a single and the
Knights were up 2-0.
The lead then became 6-0 when
the Knights plated four more runs
in the third.
Eliezer Vazquez became the
third Knight to triple in as many
innings, and Diaz followed with a
walk. One run would score on an
error in center field, and then

game-high 19 assists against Comp, while
Cardaropoli, who’s the Libero, had six digs
and Senerchia had two blocks.
The junior duo of Chad Noga (seven kills)
and Nick Manewich (six kills) combined for
a total of 13 kills in the match.
It has been a disappointing year for the
Colts, who finished the regular season with a
1-18 overall record. Their only victory was at
Dean Tech, 3-2, on April 19.
The only senior listed on the Colts roster
is Elijah Burston.
Dondre Crump, who’s one of Comp’s
eight juniors, was credited with seven kills,
five digs, three blocks, and two aces in the
Ludlow match. Junior Eduard Popovichenko
had four kills and two blocks. Sophomore
Fernando Fernandez had four assists.
The Lions, who never trailed in the opening set, raced out to a 9-1 advantage with
Cardaropoli and junior Logan Giebner handling the serving duties.
Ludlow’s largest lead of the first game
was 15-5, but the Colts battled back with a 60 run.
With freshman Andrew Karpolyuk doing
the serving, Comp closed the gap to 15-11.
The Lions won the next two points, but the
Colts would slice the deficit to 17-14.
The visitors wouldn’t get any closer than
that, as Ludlow pulled away with an 8-3 run.
The score was tied eight times at the start
of the second game before Ludlow took a 1610 lead with the help of a 5-0 run.
Cardaropoli did the serving for the home
team during that stretch.
The Colts remained within striking distances, as they were only trailing by two
points (20-18) following a kill by Burston.
The Lions scored the final five points of
the second game with junior Dominick
Albano doing the serving.

toric Lusitano Stadium, last Sunday afternoon.
Despite the final outcome, Pioneers head
coach Federico Molinari, who was the head
coach of the Western Mass. Pro team and
was also an assistant coach for the Pioneers
last year, was expecting a little better performance from his squad.
"We really didn’t play very well in this
game," Molinari said. "I thought that we
played much better in our first two games
than we did today. If we play this way in our
next game against GPS Portland, we’re probably going to lose."
The Pioneers (1-0-2) began the season
with a 1-1 tie against the Seacoast United
Phantoms and a 2-2 draw against the Long
Island Rough Riders in week two.
Last Sunday’s victory marked the first
time that the Pioneers players celebrated a
home victory since the 2014 season. They
finished in last place in the PDL Northeast
Division standings with a 1-11-2 overall
record last summer. They went 0-6-1 at
home.
The Pioneers also only scored a total of
nine goals in 14 matches a year ago, but
they’ve already scored five goals in their first
three games this season.
Eleven of the 18 players who were listed
on the line-up card for Western Mass.
Pioneers home opener were newcomers or
they played for the Western Mass. Pro team
last year. There were seven returning players
listed on the sheet. It’s probably going to
take the players a couple of weeks to jell as a
unit.
"We do have a bunch of new players on
this year’s team and we haven’t had very
many practices so far," said Maxi Viera,
who’s the Pioneers team captain this season.
"This is a very good win, but it’s probably
going take a couple of weeks for us to play
well as a unit."
Viera, along with Chris Roswess, and
Evan Burokas were members of the Pro
Team, which lost a heartbreaker in the ASL
finals in New Jersey, last July.
One of the returning Pioneers players is
Kyle Tomas, who graduated from Ludlow
High School.
Tomas gave the faithful home fans something to cheer about when he weaved
between a couple of defenders down the middle of the turf field before firing a shot into
the lower left corner of the goal, which gave
the Pioneers a 1-0 lead during the 44th
minute of the opening half.
"The goal by Tomas right before the end
of the first half was very good," Molinari
said. "It seems like whenever we do take a
one goal lead, it’s never enough for us."
The Pioneers first home goal of the season
was assisted by Roswess, who also scored
one goal in each of the Pioneers first two road
games.
In the middle of the second half, the home
fans got excited again when Roswess
knocked home a rebound shot that deflected
off the goalie, but the goal was disallowed by
the referee because Roswess was offside’s on
the play.
F.A. Euro (0-3), who’s a first-year member of the Northeast Division, managed to
score the game-tying goalon a header by
Kevin Correa, which bounced into the right
corner past goalkeeper Carson D’Ambrasio
for an unassisted goal.
D’Ambrasio who made his first start of
the season for the Pioneers will be a junior
goalie on the Central Connecticut State
University men’s soccer team in the fall. He
was credited with seven saves in the win
against F.A. Euro. Nick Zucco, who also
graduated from Ludlow High School, was
the starting goalie in the Pioneers first two
games of the season. Zucco missed last
Sunday’s game because he was on vacation
in Florida.

Ludlow was finally able to get on the
board against Carlos Lopez in the bottom of
the third. The bottom of the order helped
product some runs as Alex Will and Justin
DeBarge had a double and a single, respectively.
One run would come home an error, and
Zach Chipman followed with an RBI single
and catcher Chris Webster chased in the
third run with a ground out to short.
The Knights would get two of the runs
back with a double from Nick Dulude to
start the fourth inning. He would be driven
home on a double by Vazquez. Vazquez
would steal third base and then score on a
sacrifice fly by Diaz.
Carlos Lopez went the full seven innings
to get the win for Holyoke. He allowed five
runs on seven hits, walked two and struck
out six.
Ludlow used Alex Soares and Jake
Pariseau. Soares went the first three innings,
allowing six runs on five hits, walked one
and struck out one. Pariseau finished the
game with four innings, allowing two runs
on two hits, three walks, and one strikeout.

BUSINESS
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
their ad representatives.
