‘Melting pot’ adds 260 new ingredients
Ludlow welcomes
new U.S. citizens
at naturalization
ceremony

L
ast Friday was an especially
“good” one for 260 new
U.S. citizens at a naturalization ceremony in Ludlow.
“You are all the ingredients that
help make this soup, this ‘melting
pot’ taste good,” Luis “Lou”
Chaves, field office director from
the Lawrence Field Office of the
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services, shared to a full Ludlow
High School auditorium last week.

LUDLOW – Despite three contested races, Town Clerk Laurie
Gibbons said voter turnout for
Monday’s Town Election was low.
Of Ludlow’s 13,255 registered
voters, only 1,565 came out to cast
their ballot.
“I would have thought more
people than 12 percent of voters
would have come out,” she said.
“I’m a little disappointed.”
For the Board of Selectmen
race, Incumbent Brian Mannix will
be returning to his seat for another
three years having received 576
votes.
“We have accomplished a great
deal during my term, and I am
proud of my public record, however; there is still more work to be
done. The issue of sensible land
development is something our
town will continue to face, and I
wish to be involved in that dialog,”
Mannix said in a statement earlier
this month. “As promised, I have

Artists brush away Alzheimer’s
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
LUDLOW – Every year,
Keystone Commons’ residents participate in “Memories in the
Making,” a fine arts program for
individuals with Alzheimer’s. This
year, program participants made
artwork to be auctioned at an
Alzheimer’s Association fundrais-
er, Painting the Faces on
Alzheimer’s.
“Memories in the Making is
bringing the creative arts into
eldercare facilities. It is not your
typical painting class where it is
important to learn a technique or
skill and it’s not a cookie-cutter
arts and crafts project where everyone’s project comes out the same,”

“Our guidance department is in
year two of a three-year plan to
implement a school-wide developmental guidance curriculum to our
middle school students. Last year
we facilitated a career development workshop to our grade 8 students,” said Knowles. “This year
we provided coping skills education to our grade 7 students. Next
year we’re planning to implement
a pro-social education that will
help prevent bullying behavior in
our school and in our community.”
While planning for a new prosocial, anti-bullying curriculum in
its early stages, it has been determined that the grant funding will
be utilized to purchase educational
materials for the program. The

‘Sue’s Crew’ to host Relay for Life benefit

Sue Pease spent close to three decades educating at Chapin Street
Elementary School. Shortly after her retirement, she succumbed to a
harrowing battle with cancer.
LUDLOW – This past
December, the Chapin Street
Elementary School community lost
a former beloved leader, Sue Pease,
to a prolonged battle with cancer.
Faculty and staff are now banding
together to form “Sue’s Crew,” a
Relay for Life team named in her
memory.
“At the beginning of this year,
we had planned to have a Relay for
Life team in honor of Sue.
Unfortunately after her passing, we
are doing it in memory of her,” said
Chapin Street Elementary School
paraprofessional Lynn McCready.
“I think Relay for Life touches a
nerve for a lot of people and it’s
something they feel very compassionate about. Especially when
we’re doing it in Sue’s name.”

Supporter ‘Trumped’ by sign-stealer
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
LUDLOW – In backing Donald Trump’s
“Making America Great Again” campaign,
Kenneth Alves decided to stake his support
for the presidential candidate from the comfort of his Norwich Road home with a sign.
What he didn’t expect, however, was to be
“trumped” by a thief.
When he returned home from work one
day to discover all that was left of the vinyl
sign was the metal stand that held it up, he
assumed that it was merely the weather.
“I didn’t think too much about it…I figured it was just the wind,” he said. “I picked
up another one after attending a [Trump]
rally.”
This time, Alves opted to nail his new sign
to a tree. This time, the sign stayed in place
for about three days.
“It was just gone. It was nailed…someone
clearly had taken it,” he said. “Someone
came on to my property and took something
that I purchased…that’s not funny.”
And though the act may seem harmless to
some – possibly a “win” for those opposing
the Republican – according to Massachusetts
General Laws chapter 266, section 126A, it’s
not only not a joke, it’s a crime.
As stated in the law: whoever intentionally, willfully, and maliciously…defaces or
destroys the real or personal property of
Kenneth Alves stands behind [Donald] Trump (and his homemade sign) in front of his
Norwich Road home.
another – such as a sign – shall be punished
by imprisonment in a state prison for a term
of not more than three years by imprisonment
in a house of correction for not more than two
years or by a fine of not more than $2,500 or
not more than three times the value of the
property defaced or destroyed.
“It is a crime,” explained Ludlow Police
Lt. Michael Brennan. “For anyone looking to
commit an act like this, you can kiss goodbye
any chance of a pistol permit, an FID, or even
passing a regular background check with
jobs. It’s not worth it, so don’t do it.”
What’s more, if someone is convicted for
such a crime, an individual could also temporarily lose his or her driver’s license.
“There are much better ways to engage in
political processes,” said Brennan. “Write a
‘Letter to the Editor’ in The Register, put up
your own sign, but don’t steal someone
else’s. You aren’t convincing anyone contrary
to your cause.”
In the meantime, Alves has continued his
cause and put up a handmade sign at his front
steps of his home. He also noted that the act is
very much a violation of his First Amendment
rights.
“I’m not about to put up a barbed wire
fence or anything to protect my First
Amendment rights,” he said, noting that he
had already purchased signs four and five to
increase his display of support. “And as part
of those rights, someone has just as much of
a right as I do to hang their own signs, supporting whomever they support. If I have
that right, then others have that right as
well.”
The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It guarantees
freedom of expression by prohibiting
Congress from restricting the press or the
rights of individuals to speak freely.

Saunders reflects on
Select Board service
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
LUDLOW – After eight years of
service on the town of Ludlow’s Select
Board, Aaron Saunders announced that
he would not seek a fourth term. As this
year’s election has come to a conclusion, he recently reflected on his time
with the town committee.
“It’s been an honor to represent my
hometown for the last eight years,” said
Saunders. “I’ve spent half of my adult
life on this board.”
Having started
his service on the
board at 27,
Saunders, now 35,
said he’s embarking on a new
chapter in his life.
This fall, he will
be getting married.
“I’ve had a
Aaron Saunders good run,” he said.
“The board has a
tendency of taking over…if you do it
right, and I think that combined with
some of the bigger changes, makes it
more difficult to give the amount of
time I think this community deserves. I
think there’s an awful lot I want to continue to work on, but I didn’t want to
find myself less dedicated to this position I’ve undertaken for so long.”
Throughout his service, Saunders
shared some of the highlights he takes
a lot of pride in helping to achieve as a
board, including expanding public
access at the Ludlow Reservoir and
the mills revitalization project.
Another other area of pride was air
conditioning and repairing the roof at
Exit 7 Players.
“I am honored to have been a part of
projects big and small,” he said. “The
town has played an important role in
facilitating the renovation and renewal
of the mills area. It has already paid off
with Health South, and Iron Duke, and
will continue to for decades to come. As
for the reservoir, it is rewarding to drive
by and see the cars and know we have
improved the quality of life for those
who enjoy going to the reservoir to
‘take a good walk’.”
He also tipped his hat to fellow
board members for sharing in such
civility as the conducted business.
“I have had the opportunity to work
with eight members who each brought
their own expertise and perspective to
the board. I am very proud of the civility that has defined the Ludlow Board of
Selectmen during my tenure. The discourse and discussion could become
impassioned at times, but I believe at
the end of the day there was always a
mutual respect for each other's opinion,
disagreements never became personal,
and we would return to the next meeting with a clean slate ready to work
together.,” he said. “It has been a pleasure to work with the current Board over
the last few years. Carmina Fernandes,
Manny Silva, and Brian Mannix have
brought with them points of view that
have been a benefit to our town and
often helped shape my own perspective
on issues. With regard to the fifth
member of our Board, in 2008 I was
one of two new members, the other,
Bill Rooney, has been my colleague
since that time. I have had the pleasure
of working with Bill on every issue,
with every board – and we both survived.”
More than the members on the
board, Saunders shared that being able
to meet residents from his hometown
was a gift.
“Ludlow is a great place for a lot of
reasons, but in a very basic way, it is the
people who make it great,” he said.
“The people you get to me, you have
the occasion to meet so many people
from so many walks of life… there are
many people who either individually or
through civic, social, athletic, or religious organizations spend their time,
effort, and energy helping to make our
community a better place. I can only
hope that I have been able to be one of
those people who has worked to
improve our community.”
One area he admits having taken a
lot of pride in was his work with the fire
department.
“Growing up, my father had MS, so
I got to know the guys on the fire
department as they visited us quite
often, so it’s been a real honor to help
appoint the leadership of that department,” he said, noting that during his
time as a selectman, the entire leadership at the department had transitioned.
“They’ll say, [firefighters] that they’re
just doing their job, but to someone on
the receiving end, like myself, it’s universally…it’s more than words can
say.”
Though there were some definite
peaks, there was also some ebbs.
Included in some of those harder times
was in 2011, when many residents were
without power or the recession.
“The recession was extremely difficult – the decisions you don’t want to
make – when you talk about layoffs…working in a small town, you
know the people you’re talking about.
As a young person, that’s very difficult,” he said. “
While on the board, he also ran for
the seat on the First HampdenHampshire District state Senate seat
formerly held by Gale Candaras, whom
he was chief of staff for. Though he was
not successful in his campaign, he continued his efforts on the town’s select
board.
Currently, Saunders works with a
Boston-based company called
Benchmark Strategies, which aids in
international companies seek business
opportunities.
“With regard to advice for incoming
members, I would only say that the new
member(s) should continue the civility
and cooperation we have enjoyed over
the last eight years and that the board
should keep the town moving forward,”

Exit 7 Youth Players announces
auditions for ‘Beauty and the Beast’
LUDLOW – Exit 7 Players will hold
auditions for “Beauty and the Beast” on
Saturday, April 2, and Sunday, April 3 (open
auditions) with callbacks (by invitation) on
Thursday, April 7. Performances will be held
Friday, Aug. 5 and Friday, Aug. 12 at 8 p.m.,
Saturday Aug. 6 and Saturday, Aug. 13 at 2
p.m. and 8pm, and Sunday, Aug. 7 and
Sunday, Aug. 14 at 2 p.m.. All roles are open
in this production.
Actors must be no younger than 8, and no
older than 18, by April 7 (teens may be asked
to provide proof of age). Those auditioning
are asked to bring a resume and headshot if
available, and be prepared to fill out an availability calendar. The ensemble will rehearse
three times a week beginning the week of
May 15, with the possibility of increasing to
four rehearsals per week during summer
vacation.
Open auditions will be held at the Exit 7
Players Theatre, located at 37 Chestnut St.
Open auditions will consist of a vocal audition and a dance audition (dress for movement). Actors should prepare 32 bars, memorized, of a song of their choice, and provide
sheet music in the key they plan to sing in.
Accompaniment will be provided; no singing
to recorded tracks or a capella singing. With
the audition, organizers suggest selecting a
piece that best highlights their capabilities—it
can be from the show, but does not have to
be.
Note from the director and music director:
“Singing is acting.” In the open auditions particularly, they are more concerned with see-
ing strong acting choices than we are in hearing vocal perfection.
Callbacks will be held at the Union
Church of Christ, located at 51 Center St.
Callbacks will consist of readings from the
play, and an additional vocal segment. Actors
called back for the specific roles listed below
should look at the corresponding pieces we
will use in the callbacks:
Belle: “A Change In Me” and “Home”
Mrs. Potts: “Beauty and the Beast”
Lumiere: “Be Our Guest”
Maurice: “No Matter What”
Gaston: “Me”
Beast: “If I Can’t Love Her”
Silly Girls: will be given coaching to sing
harmonies
Due to anticipated interest, actors are
asked to register for an audition slot. Do this
by
writing
the
director
at
[email protected] with the subject
“Beauty and the Beast Audition Slot”, and
indicate which of the three open auditions you

made for actors who contact the director after
these slots are filled – anyone who wants to
audition will be given the opportunity.
Open auditions will be held on Saturday,

4:30 to 7 p.m.; and Sunday, April 3, 5 to 8
p.m. Callbacks will be held on Thursday,
April 7, beginning at 7p.m.

Life Skills students thank soldiers for service
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
LUDLOW – When Jon Mitchell’s Life
Skills students saw the Jan. 20 edition of this
newspaper, they knew it posed a perfect
opportunity to conduct one of their favorite
activities: fundraising.
To contribute to the Care Package Drive
administered by the Ludlow Veterans
Services office and the Ludlow VFW, Life
Skills students – based out of Ludlow High
School – held a bake sale, selling delicious
homemade shortbread. With the $57 they
raised, the students then shopped for items
they wanted to send to soldiers serving an
active duty stint in Kuwait.
“It is probably very hard for Mrs.
[Dianne] St. Peter to be away from her son
[Matthew J. Hilario]. Doing this made me
really happy because I know it is hard for the
soldiers to be away from their families,” said
Life Skills student Colyn Johnson. “And now
they will have extra food and things they
need.”
Johnson and his classmates Lucas Balula,
Jacob Koziol and Dominic Jessup utilized
their $57 budget to purchase toothpaste, beef
jerky, chocolate chip cookies and other snack
items for the soldiers overseas. They also collected other items donated by faculty members and wrote personal letters to the soldiers
to accompany the items.
“We wanted to thank them for their service so we wrote them letters,” said Koziol.
“I said ‘let freedom reign’ and ‘God bless
you guys’,” added Johnson.
Mitchell explained that his class is consistently involved in a variety of fundraising
efforts throughout the year, because it excites
the students and incorporates many of the
curriculum elements that are most important.

Ludlow High School Life Skills students Lucas Balula, Dominic Jessup, Jacob Koziol and
Colyn Johnson display the items they purchased for soldiers serving in Kuwait, along with
their educators, Jon Mitchell, Nira Flatley and Sandy Chechette.
“We’re always looking for different ways
for them to practice some of those real-life
skills in real-life settings. It’s also an opportunity for them to practice many of the things
we talk about, like going to a grocery store to
make purchases, working with a budget,
cooking and measuring,” said Mitchell.
“With something like this, buying items for
the soldiers, or previously when we bought
toys for kids around Christmastime, it also
teaches them empathy and how to put other
NOTICE
people first.”
Johnson and Koziol explained that they both
hope they can carry out a fundraiser to benefit
military members again next school year.
Currently, the Life Skills students are turning their attention towards raising funds to
pay for Special Olympics team t-shirts they
hope to custom design in advance of competition in May at Northampton High School.
“We’re really excited to raise money for
our t-shirts,” said Koziol.

Shooting toward equality
Baird students win
prizes in C-SPAN’s
documentary competition
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
LUDLOW – Baird Middle School eighth
graders Sedona Wikar and James Elliott are
among just 332 award winners across the
country in C-SPAN’s national 2016
StudentCam competition. The two students
were named Honorable Mention recipients
for heart-wrenching documentaries they produced on social issues, inspired by personal
experiences.
For this year’s competition, students were
asked to address the theme “Road to the
White House: what’s the issue you most want
candidates to discuss during the 2016 presidential campaign?”
Wikar’s documentary, “Veterans
Services,” and Elliott’s documentary, “LGBT
Rights: Stop the Discrimination,” were standouts among a record 2,887 video submissions
from almost 6,000 students in 45 states and
Washington, D.C.
“These two videos are exceptional in the
way that they tell a story,” said Baird library
media specialist Jordan Funke. “The order of
facts, with emotional appeal and personal
experience really made them stand out. They
also had a lot of visual polish…it was clear
that they [Wikar and Elliott] spent extra time
to make everything look nice.”
Wikar’s video featured interviews with
Ludlow Director of Veterans Services Eric
Segundo, Commander of VFW Post 3236
Christine B. Bassett and state Sen. Eric
Lesser, D-Longmeadow.
“I also tried to incorporate statistics that
would really pull at the heart. I included statistics on veterans committing suicide each
day because they don’t receive the proper
benefits that they were promised,” said
Wikar.

Baird Middle School eighth grader Sedona Wikar received an Honorable
Mention in C-SPAN’s national 2016 StudentCam competition for her documentary entitled “Veterans Services.”
Wikar explained that she met Bassett and
Lesser previously when receiving an award
for the Patriots’ Pen essay competition. She
said her grandfathers, whom both served in
the military and did not receive adequate
services upon completion, inspired her topic.
“Through this project, I learned that the
issue is much greater than I thought it was.
Something needs to be done. People are
dying because they don’t receive benefits
when they come home,” said Wikar.
A familial connection also inspired
Elliott’s work.
“I have a lot of family members and close
family friends who have been discriminated
against for their sexuality, so it’s always been
a part of my life to not discriminate against
them. It’s just who they love. They can’t
change that,” said Elliott.
He explained that the familial connection
made his message more sincere. After doing
internet research, he ultimately decided to
interview Western
Massachusetts
Baird Middle School eighth grader James Elliott’s documentary, “LGBT Rights: Stop the Discrimination,” won an
Honorable Mention in C-SPAN’s national 2016
StudentCam competition.
Coordinator for the American Civil Liberties
Union of Massachusetts Vira Cage and
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura
Healey.
“Going into this project, I knew it [LGBT
rights] was an important issue, but I didn’t
realize things were as bad as they are. It
seems to be a lot like the civil rights movement – it’s kind of that widespread,” said
Elliott.
Over 100 Baird students participated in
the C-SPAN competition, with the option to
work in groups to produce documentaries 5
to 7 minutes in length, or work alone. Elliott
and Wikar both solo-produced their videos.
“I was very excited to receive the award
because all of my hard work paid off,” said
Elliott.
Both Elliott and Wikar expressed that they
found it gratifying to work on their projects
by themselves – developing questions, filming interviews and amalgamating C-SPAN
news clips, statistics, photographs and other
visuals. Elliott said video production is one of
his favorite hobbies, often producing comedy
videos with his friends. Wikar explained that
she had some familiarity with the technical
skills needed for the project from previous
work for a variety of classes.
The two 13-year-olds will receive $250
prizes for their Honorable Mention awards.
In Ludlow, C-SPAN is available via
Charter Communications broadcasts. At the
local level, Charter Communications works
with C-SPAN on the educational initiative.
“Charter Communications congratulates
Sedona Wikar on her winning documentary
and James Elliott on his winning documentary in C-SPAN’s 2016 StudentCam competition.
During this election year it is particularly
great to see future voters so creatively voicing
their opinions on the issues of the day,” said
Adam Falk, Senior Vice President of State
Government Affairs for Charter
Communications.

Eickelberg. “Now it gives me something to
do.”
Just as emphasized by Eickelberg, Creasia
explained that artistry is a great communication tool for Alzheimer’s patients, assisting
them in recalling stories and memories.
Creasia said that painting and other forms of
art also allow patient’s to make choices, an
option that is often taken away once
Alzheimer’s afflicts them.
“Things can be hard because of my memory, but I feel like I knew what I was doing.
It’s always a relaxing thing to do,” said
Memories in the Making participant Barbara
Stolki. “We do have a lot of fun once we get
started…this is really pretty,” she said, pointing to an acrylic painting of a flower she
made.
Memories in the Making is a routinebased program, meeting at a regular scheduled time each week. “Kick-starts” are provided to the participants to aid their creative
process. A kick-start can be any preliminary
step to a piece of art that will help spark a
memory for the Alzheimer’s patients. While

Henry Boroff, U.S. bankruptcy judge
administered the Oath of Allegiance to
America's newest citizens during a naturalization ceremony.
“Today is a dream come true,”
Alcino Pereira, a Ludlow resident,
gushed with tears welling up in his
eyes. A native of Vidago, Portugal,
Pereira said that he looks forward to
exercising his right as a citizen of the
U.S.
“I’m proud to be a citizen of this
country. I’m going to do my part and
participate in town government and
vote,” he said. “I love Ludlow and I
want to do [what I can] to make it better.”
Although the last naturalization ceremony was reported to have taken place
50 years ago, the date and history could
never be “officially” confirmed. Having
come to the U.S. as a child alongside
her parents and five brothers and sisters
from Portugal, Carmina Fernandes,
chairwoman of the Ludlow Select
Board said she believes the ceremony to
be the first of its kind. Having a desire
to share such an important day in the
lives of so many people, she contacted
Chaves with a letter of interest and was
approved shortly thereafter.
“I’m ecstatic to be a part of
this…and I certainly hope there will be
more here,” she said. “Here I am in this
high school, where I went to school, as
a business owner in the community that
I was raised in and the chairwoman of
the Board of Selectmen…I’ve come
full circle.”
Honored guests and speakers also
included state Sen. Eric Lesser, DLongmeadow, and James “Chip”
Harrington, Ludlow School Committee
member. The Veterans Services Color
Guard also presented the colors.
“Coming here, becoming a U.S. citizen…it gave me a better life,”
explained Maria DeJesus, who came to
the U.S. from Portugal and became a
citizen in 2002. On Good Friday, she
joined her husband Armindo as he
pledged the Oath of Allegiance.
The DeJesus’s, residents of Ludlow,
were joined by fellow candidates residing in Adams, Agawam, Amherst,

n recent years, Americans have taken to
Google’s search engine to plan “moving to
Canada” should their candidate not take the
presidential seat. Since approximately 2004, the
numbers of those querying the infobahn has
spiked around election time.
There was also a surge last June, shortly after
Donald Trump officially added his name to the
race for the Republican Party.
As of late, the search engine reports a more
recent uptick. Among those top states looking to
hop the border was, yes, you guessed it –
Massachusetts. But whatever aversion to either
democratic or republican candidate you have,
instead of moving your entire household, career,
family, and life up north, we’ve got a better solution for you: vote.
That’s right, vote. If you don’t like a particular candidate vying for the role of Commander
in Chief, then get out there and express your
15th Amendment rights.
Though Election Day isn’t until November,
there is still plenty of time to do research on the
individuals in the running. What issues matter to
you? Do you care about health insurance issues?
Schools? Public safety? Tuition to college?
Whatever matters to you, look into it.
According to statistics from the Canadian
government from 2013, nearly 8,500 U.S. citizens head up north to become permanent residents every year, with no real correlation to election time. Four times as many, however, moved
to Canada from the People’s Republic of China.
Is there a chance that there will be a mass
exodus of people marching up North or a number of flights booked around November?
Probably not. Despite the escalation in numbers
online, the numbers haven’t necessarily translated to a mass escape. But, in the meantime,
instead of plotting out a lifestyle change, keep it
simple and vote. Like the ever-popular Nike
campaign says: Just do it.
PEOPLE/MILESTONE NEWS
As a free service for our readers, we will print all births,
weddings, engagements, milestone anniversaries, major
birthdays, military achievements, honors and awards. We
have a “people news” form available for you to submit these

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.

Letters to the Editor
Thanks for helping carve out a piece of history
To the Editor:
The family of Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges,
USMC, would like to thank all those involved in
the renaming process of the Veteran’s of Foreign
Wars Post 3236 to The Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges
Post 3236. It is truly an honor to have our son and
brother’s name and legacy live on in this extraordinary way. Joshua would be proud to represent his
own VFW District 7 veterans in helping other veterans, as well as its youth and community. Along
with this honor, we would also like to thank all
those involved in the process of having Joshua recognized and remembered on the Purple Heart
Trail. This was a touching surprise to us and both
recognitions make us proud that his name will live
on long after we are gone. He truly is part of
Ludlow’s history.
We would also like to thank and congratulate
the students, teachers and community members
that received awards at the ceremony. In a world
full of negativity and endless disturbing news; their
hard work, dedication and actions are examples of
the positivity and good of our community and
country. It was an honor to share in the night’s
events with you.
A special thank you to Ludlow’s Veterans
Services Director, Eric Segundo, for continuously
going above and beyond the call of duty; Sgt.
Joshua D. Desforges Post 3236 Commander,
Christine Bassett, for her personal part in the
renaming process and MOPH Commander, Brian
Willette, for having Josh recognized on the Purple
Heart Trail.

The Patriot's Pen program is open to
students in grades 6-8 who are enrolled in

Seventh grade teacher Paula Donais’
seventh grade class wrote essays focused
on the theme: “What Freedom Means to
Me."
First Church had a visitor, a local celebrity, his name is White Stripe and he's been
making the rounds in Ludlow. Dillon Harris along with Peter Priest, and
Grandmother Judy Harris brought Peters’ lamb to First Church on Palm Sunday to
visit the Sunday School Children.
LUDLOW –The children and parishioners of First Church in Ludlow are collecting donations to send to Heifer
International, which is an organization
that helps train and support programs
with the theme “Together we have power
over hunger and poverty.” They supply
livestock such as cows, lambs, goats,
chickens and training to those who struggle daily for reliable sources of food and
income. By working with generous
donors and partners, our dream of eradicating world hunger and poverty is
becoming a reality, and it shows in the
results. They bring generations together
with community building, and help families build knowledge and resources for
sustainable progress out of poverty.
Being able to see and touch a lamb up
close brought great joy to the children,
and also brought great support to our
Lenten project. First Church has all ready
raised over $500 to purchase a cow, lamb
and is going to add a goat to the project
as well.
The church offered up a thank you to
all of those who have donated to such a
worthy project.

Knowles explained that the guidance
department will collaborate with sixth grade
teachers and other counseling personnel to
discuss what the pro-social needs are for
Baird’s students, developing a curriculum or
adopting a program accordingly. A decision
is likely to be made by the end of the current
school year.
“We’re hoping that students obtain how
to be kinder, more respectful, caring, compassionate and empathetic toward one
another. We want to be much more proactive
than reactive. We want to teach them the
skills to interact with each other so that bullying behavior doesn’t even occur,” said
Knowles.
With the advent of an anti-bullying program, the Baird Middle School guidance
department will achieve its goal of a delivering a targeted, specific curriculum for each
grade. Knowles is hoping to make progress
in developing the pro-social program in the
coming weeks.
The guidance department’s programs are
not budgeted for, typically paid for by federal
and state funds, or through secured grants
like the one provided by Unify Against
Bullying.
Parents with questions about the development of a pro-social program can contact the
Baird Middle School guidance department at
413-583-5685.
“The best thing our parents can do is reinforce pro-social behavior outside of school
for our students, while they are with their
friends and in the community,” said
Knowles.

2016 on April 14 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the
Springfield Sheraton. Sponsored by the
MassMutual Financial Group with scholarship support from the Irene E. and George A.
Davis Foundation, the program is a unique
collaboration between the Springfield
Regional Chamber and Western New
England University to teach middle- and
upper-level managers the crucial thinking and
problem solving skills needed to prepare participants to be effective leaders in service to
the community and their workplaces.
This year's program, Leadership Skills:
For Personal, Organizational and Community
Development, included an emphasis on
strategies and techniques designed to create
high energy and high involvement leadership,
focusing on problem solving, learning to ask
the right questions and implementing creative
and innovative solutions for both nonprofit
and for profit organizations.
Working side by side with Western New
England University professors, participants
actively explored best practices of leaders;
analyzed their own leadership, learning, and
problem solving styles; were challenged to
think in new ways and to analyze their own
strengths and organizational challenges within a dynamic economy; and explored task
and interpersonal focus, negotiation orientation, and emotional intelligence, supplemented by self-diagnostics, experiential activities
and case studies. "The Leadership Institute
offers a wonderful refresher on various leadership frameworks such as planning and
problem solving. It helps you to stretch your

“I appreciate the people that came out in

Tuesday before he was officially sworn in.
Santos and Simao beat of candidates
Richard Zucco, who had 514 votes,
Guilherme “Bill” Rodrigues, who received
507 votes, and Rafael Quiterio, who received
298 votes.
Raymond E. Phoenix II will resume his
long-standing role on the Planning Board
after receiving 720 votes. Pedro Almeida
received 610 votes.
As for the races that are uncontested –
Sean McBride, incumbent of the Recreation
Department, received 1,041 votes; incumbents of the School Committee for the two
positions, Michael Kelliher received 898
votes and Chad Mullin received 868 votes;
the three-year term of Trustee of the Hubbard
Memorial Library Elaine Karalekas received
1,105 votes; and Beverly Barry collected
1,033 votes for the three-year term on the
Board of Assessors.
Though Dr. Bruce Dziura had turned in
paperwork as an incumbent of the Board of
Health to be on the ballot for a three-year
term, a week before the election, Gibbons
said the town received a letter that he was
now a registered voter in another community.
Because of this, the category has been
deemed “failure to elect.” The Board of
Selectmen and Board of Health will now
have to appoint someone, who will serve
until the next town election.
Though there was no name on the ballot
for the five-year term on the Housing
Authority, Chester Giza collected 10 write-in
votes. As for the two-year unexpired post on
the same board, because there was a tie
between two candidates, Gibbons said it
remains up to the Board of Selectmen as to
whether or not they want to appoint someone
or leave the position open.
In other town government related news,
the Annual Town Meeting is scheduled for
Monday, May 9, the State Primary scheduled
for Thursday, Sept. 8, and the State Election
is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Mystery program
helps build longterm friendships
The Mystery Reader Program, a beloved tradition, invites
each parent – or family member – of the kindergarten students to come to class on Friday morning, read a favorite
children’s book to the class and prepare a follow-up craft
project tied to that book.
LUDLOW – Every Friday morning, the kindergarten class
at St. John the Baptist School has a special air of excitement
for the students as they wait for the announcement from the
School office that their “Mystery Reader” has arrived!
The Mystery Reader Program, a beloved tradition, invites
each parent – or family member – of the kindergarten students to
come to class on Friday morning, read a favorite children’s book
to the class and prepare a follow-up craft project tied to that book.
When the parent arrives, he or she is announced by kindergarten teacher, Jennifer Hewes, giving three family clues, to
see if the students can guess who will be the “mystery reader”
that day.
In addition to reinforcing the importance of reading aloud
to the students, it also helps the kindergarten families learn
about each other and helps build long-tern friendships as their
children begin their education at SJB School.
The
Third Annual FUNd Run
scheduled for April 8
LUDLOW – Veterans Park
Principal Melissa Knowles, is proud to
announce that the thirrd Annual
Veterans Park FUNd Run is scheduled
for Friday, April 8. She explained that
the legacy of the FUNd Run in rooted
in three words: charity, empathy and
grit. “One of the important components
of the PRIDE mission at Veterans Park
School is to promote, develop and practice community and social awareness.
This event originated in 2014 when a
group of students approached me with
an idea for an annual event that would
raise funds to support a local family in
need, or cause.”
This year the funds raised will be
donated to Wheels4Jaime. Jaime is a
third grade student at Chapin Street
School who was born with a hypoplastic left heart requiring three open heart
surgeries to repair. During his second
surgery Jaime suffered a stroke that
resulted in brain damage affecting his
motor skills that many take for granted,
such as walking, talking, grasping
objects, and so much more. As a result
Jaime is in need of a specilaized SUV,
with a lift, that will accommodate his
wheelchair and help his family provide
him with the mobility needed for Jaime
to attend medical appointments, family
functions, and enjoy life.
On the day of the event Veterans
Park students will be running and/or
walking laps at the Ludlow High
School track. Veterans Park students
will secure sponsors and/or donations
from March 18th until May 31. All
donation envelopes need to be
returned to school on April 1. Checks
should be made payable to
Wheels4Jaime.
All students who raise a minimum
of $5 will be given a FUNd Run lanyard at the event. Awards will be given
to the team that raises the most money,
runs the most laps and has the most
team spirit. Individual awards will also
be given to the student who completes
the most number of laps and raises the
most money.

The
Egg-citing event attracts many
T
hough the calendar had indicated that
spring had sprung, it was apparent that
the town of Ludlow must not have gotten the memo as the chilling winds started to
swirl around during Hubbard Memorial
Library’s annual Easter Egg Hunt.
Despite the weather, roughly 400 hundred
people flocked to the library grounds in hopes
of collecting colorful eggs filled with sweets.
“I’m very grateful to Jo-Ann Fabrics,
Walgreen’s, and the Special Police for their
yearly support of our event…and, of course,
the Friends of the Library for sponsoring the
fun-filled festivities,” said Children’s
Librarian July Siebecker.
In addition to gathering the 21 eggs allotted to each of the 135 that were registered to
participate, children were quick to tear open
their loot with fingers crossed in search of 21
prize-winning tickets. In total, the 21 volunteers scattered 3,100 eggs all around the property of the library. Once retrieved, hunters
could turn in their tickets for six of the sixth
prize awards, five of the fifth place, four of
the fourth place, three of the third place, two
of the second place, and one grand prize.
Children also collected eggs courtesy of
the Ludlow Recreation Department at
Whitney Park.
Lukas Mateus, 5, was chugging along all
over the library grounds in search of eggs.

Public Safety
Murder suspect surrenders, faces slew of charges
By Tyler W. Leahy
Staff Writer
LUDLOW – Indian Orchard resident
Jorge Concepcion-Pesquera, wanted for the
alleged murder of Ludlow native Larry
Santiago, turned himself into New York City
Police.
Hampden County District Attorney
Anthony Gulluni and Ludlow Police Chief
Pablo Madera announced the development in
a press conference on March 22. ConcepcionPesquera is being charged with murder,
unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful
possession of ammunition and discharging a
firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.
Gulluni explained that Ludlow Police
responded to an emergency call at approximately 12:44 a.m. on March 13, which
reported a shooting in the parking lot of Open
Door Café located at 247 Cady St. He said
that Massachusetts State Police detectives
and the Ludlow Police Department began the
investigation of the incident at approximately
1:30 a.m. that morning.
Santiago, 26, suffered multiple gunshot
wounds and was found unconscious in a
parked motor vehicle. Ludlow Fire
Paramedics transported Santiago to Baystate
Medical Center after attempting lifesaving
measures, where he was pronounced dead.
“Through the investigation it became

disclose a potential motive for the murder.
Following his surrender at the 28th
Ludlow Police Arrest Log
The Ludlow Police Department
responded to 322 calls for service from
Sunday, March 20 through Saturday,

The department’s police officers made

arrests. There were two domestic assault
crime related arrests Per Massachusetts
law, no names of persons arrested for
domestic violence charges can be publicly disseminated. There were no arrests
for mental health warrants. Those arrested or summonsed will appear at future

precinct in New York City, 20-year-old
Concepcion-Pesquera of 254 Centre St. in
Indian Orchard was extricated to
Massachusetts to face the charges against him.
Gulluni declined to speak in regards to
Concepcion-Pesquera’s criminal record, but
confirmed that the assailant was known to
police.
“I think there is no doubt, as the District
Attorney has indicated, that this was a random and isolated act,” said Madera.
The March 13 homicide is the first in
Ludlow since a vehicular manslaughter case
in 2007.
“The expediency of the investigation is
telling of the professional on this case,” said
Madera. “There’s no doubt that both the
Massachusetts State Police and the Detective
Bureau should be commended for the teamwork and cooperation that they exhibited during this investigation.”
Madera offered his condolences to
Santiago’s family and beckoned community
members to keep Santiago in their thoughts.
“No further threat is posed to the people
of Ludlow by this individual or anything
about this situation. Ludlow is absolutely a
safe place to live, reside, work and recreate,”
said Gulluni, remarking that such violence is
very rare in town.
Gulluni said that Concepcion-Pesquera
turned himself in after great pressure from the
investigation carried out by Ludlow Police
and Massachusetts State Police. He affirmed
that there is ample evidence to prosecute
Concepcion-Pesquera.

Titans swim records set on new Axas
WILBRAHAM - Before the
final swim meet of the season even
began, Ludlow resident Ania Axas
had a truly great season for
Wilbraham & Monson Academy.
Then, throw in the season finale,
and Axas had one of the best swim
seasons in Academy history – and
she’s a freshman.
Axas set two school records at
the New England Division III
Championships March 5 at the
Canterbury School, establishing
new marks in the 200 Individual
Medley and 100 Butterfly.
Coming out of the fourth seed,
she bettered her previous school
mark in the 200 IM in the trials
before going even faster in the
final, winning the race in 2 minutes,
10.59 seconds.
“I was hoping, since I was
ranked fourth, I wanted to make it
to finals and beat my time because I
knew I could,” Axas said. “There
were a lot of girls from USA
Swimming there. I focused on my
race. I beat my previous best time
in the morning in the trial, and then
I beat it again at night in the final.”
In the final, Axas trailed before
gaining the lead in the final event:
the freestyle.
“I’m thrilled all my hard work
paid off,” Axas said. “It’s not my

best event, but I enjoy the 200 IM
so it was nice to swim it at New
Englands. And it was a great feeling to win. Going into prelims I
was ranked fourth, and there was
tough competition, but I was proud
I swam my own race, didn’t worry
about anyone else, and won.”
Setting a new record in the 100yard butterfly was a complete surprise and bonus. Her trial time of
1:00.23 topped the school record of
1:01.12, set by 2013 graduate Ivy
Durepo. She placed fifth in the final.
“I wasn’t expecting a record in
the 100 butterfly, but getting the
record in the prelims made me really happy,” she said.
Axas, who was named MVP of
the team at the Athletic Awards
Ceremony March 3, said her season
couldn’t have gone any better. She
also set a school record in the 500yard freestyle (5:16.46), giving her
a total of three school marks in her
first season.
“This is the most fun I’ve ever
had swimming,” said Axas, who
has competed in high-level swim
meets throughout the east coast.
“USA Swimming is more individual swimming, but being on a high
school team you become family
with your team and it helped me
grow more.”

adapting the message so it will be better
understood, understanding the six universal
forms of influence and developing political
savvy.
Since 1982, more than 900 area leaders
have graduated from the Institute.

“It’s so difficult to know what to expect, but I
think we will be able to do that.”
In school, Sue’s Crew has raised funds
creatively, by hosting bake sales and opening
a snack shop for faculty and staff.
“Some people have been really involved
in fundraising, others are planning to walk
and others have donated money. I would
say that almost everyone in the entire
school has contributed in some way,” said
McCready.
Sue’s Crew plans to find special ways to
honor Pease while at the Relay for Life, to be
held Saturday, June 4 at Ludlow High
School.
McCready explained that Sue’s Crew will
likely set up a putting green, just as Pease
used to do when she had a Relay for Life
team of her own. Golfing was one of her
favorite hobbies.
“She was a great person and an important
part of our school. It’s important that we do
what we can to remember her,” said
McCready.

LUDLOW – Diolinda
(Rodrigues) Costa, 92, a lifelong resident of Ludlow,
passed away peacefully on
Sunday, March 27, at Care
One/Redstone Nursing Center
in East Longmeadow.
Diolinda (Dee or Diol)
was the daughter of Manuel
and Emilia Rodrigues,
Portuguese immigrants who raised their
family on Duke Street in Ludlow in the
home where Diolinda was born. After
Dee married her husband, August
Costa, they moved into a new home in
Ludlow and started a family, having a
daughter, Carol and son, David.
Diolinda lived at home in Ludlow until
a year and a half ago, when health
issues prompted her move to Keystone
Assisted Living in Springfield and,
more recently, to Care One/Redstone in
East Longmeadow.
She is survived by her loving husband of nearly 67 years, August (Augie
or Gus); her daughter, Carol, a retired
educator, of Springfield; her son, David,
a retired U.S. Air Force veteran and
health care administrator of
Woodbridge, Virginia, and his wife,
Carol; her beloved granddaughter
Karen of Woodbridge, Virginia, her
brother, Candido (Candy) of
Springfield, her sister, Clara
Rodrigues of Ludlow;
nieces, nephews and other
extended family; and her
devoted companion, Rocky,
the family poodle of great
distinction.
Diolinda was predeceased
by her parents Manuel and
Emilia Rodrigues of Ludlow, her brother, Raphael (Ray) of Rockport, her sister Mary Pasko of Chicopee, and her
brother Victor (Vic or Pete) of Ludlow.
Diolinda graduated from Ludlow High
School and then worked at Ludlow
Manufacturing (the Ludlow Mills) until
the birth of her second child. She then
filled her life with all the honorable
labors of motherhood and homemaking. Later in life she was employed at
Arrow Elastic Corporation in
Springfield, where she enjoyed friendships and working relationships with
many other employees from similar
backgrounds.
Diolinda was extremely devoted to
her family and home. She was proud of
her children's careers and loved spending time with them. She loved to host
extravagant holiday dinners for her larger family, and she spent many hours
helping family members with cooking,
landscaping, shoveling, and other tasks.
Her home was meticulous inside and
out, and she also became masterful at
cooking and baking and maintaining
traditional Portuguese recipes. She
loved her shrubs and flower/vegetable
gardens, and she became uniquely talented at crochet, creating many beautiful pieces that she shared with family.
Her pride in her crochet work was as
extraordinary as her talent. She also
was pleased to maintain proficiency in
the Portuguese language. Diolinda's
faith was important to her, and she was
a loyal parishioner of Our Lady of
Fatima Church for many years.
Funeral arrangements are under the
direction of Ludlow Funeral Home,
432 East St. in Ludlow. Calling hours
will be Friday evening, April 1, from 5
to 7 p.m. at the funeral home. A funeral
mass will be celebrated at Our Lady of
Fatima Church, 438 Winsor St. in

care.
