wound through Massachusetts and Connecticut in support of the Ludlow Police DepartmentтАЩs K9 Unit.

According to Rae, at each stop, a playing card was

Election of temporary
town moderator slated
By Rich Wirth
Register Correspondent
LUDLOW тАУ Two individuals
have expressed interest in serving as
temporary town moderator until the
next town election.
Former town administrator
Michael Szlosek and former selectman and attorney John DaCruz will
seek the nomination at the Oct. 6
Special Town Meeting. Antonio Dos
Santos, who was elected as town
moderator in March, resigned this
summer because he has since moved
to Wilbraham.
Town Counsel David J. Martel
said the Board of Selectmen could
put forth a nomination, but the board
will not be meeting again prior to
the Special Town Meeting and therefore wonтАЩt be able to interview the
two candidates, Selectman William
E. Rooney said last week.
тАЬItтАЩs ultimately the decision of
the Town Meeting members, so let

CELEBRATING 70 YEARS!
2008. The Act requires that a portion
of the proceeds from the sale of Waste
Energy Certificates (WEC) be directed to recycling programs approved by
MassDEP. SMRP has invested more than
$9 million in recycling programs since
July of 2010.
The community payments are based
on the number of households served by
the municipal solid waste and recycling
program.
The WEC payments received by
MassDEP are deposited into the SMRP
Expendable Trust, which is used to fund
grants, technical assistance and education to help communities, businesses and
institutions increase recycling and reduce
waste.
┬аMassDEP is responsible for ensuring clean air and water, safe management and recycling of solid and hazardous wastes, timely cleanup of hazardous
waste sites and spills and the preservation of wetlands and coastal resources.

LUDLOW тАУ The Town of Ludlow
was among 96 communities to qualify for the new Recycling Dividends
Program (RDP), to help cities and towns
maximize their current recycling, composting and waste reduction programs.
Ludlow was awarded $2,800 of the
nearly $358,000 awarded across the
Commonwealth.
RDP payments range from $1,200
to $14,400 and can be utilized for new
recycling bins or carts, public education
and outreach campaigns, collection of
hard-to-recycle items and establishment
of recycling programs in schools, municipal buildings and other public spaces.
The new program is administered
by the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection (MassDEP).
The RDP is the newest initiative
under MassDEPтАЩs тАЬSustainable Materials

Cultural Council seeks
funding proposals
LUDLOW тАУ The Ludlow Cultural
Council has set an Oct. 15 postmark
deadline for organizations, schools and
individuals to apply for grants that support cultural activities in the community. ┬а
According to Council Chair Brian
Barch, these grants can support a variety of artistic projects and activities in
Ludlow, including exhibits, festivals,
field trips, performances in schools,
workshops and lectures.
The Ludlow Cultural Council (LCC)
is part of a network of 329 local councils serving all 351 cities and towns in
the Commonwealth. ┬аThe program is the
largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation. The state legislature
provides an annual appropriation to the
Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state
agency, which then allocates funds to
each community.
This year the Ludlow Cultural Council
will distribute over $8,000 in grants.
Previously funded projects include the
summer concert series at the Gazebo,
programs in the schools, the Senior
Center and the Boys and Girls Club.
For specific guidelines, contact Brian
Barch at [email protected]. ┬аApplication forms and more information are available at the
Mass Cultural Council
website. ┬аThe local council
recently started a Facebook
page under тАЬLudlow Mass
Cultural CouncilтАЭ and
invites all to visit, like
them and give them your
feedback.

LUDLOW тАУ The Exit 7 Players are proud to
announce their fall production, the Mel Brooks musical
тАЬYoung Frankenstein.тАЭ
From Brooks and the creators of the record-breaking
Broadway sensation тАЬThe ProducersтАЭ comes this monster musical comedy. тАЬYoung FrankensteinтАЭ features a
book by Brooks and Thomas Meehan and music and
lyrics by Brooks. It is based on the 1974 comedy film
of the same name written by Brooks and Gene Wilder
and directed by Brooks, who has described it as his best
film.
Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein,
Frederick Frankenstein (played by fan favorite Ben
Ashley) inherits his familyтАЩs estate in Transylvania.
With the help of a hunchbacked side-kick, Igor (Brian
Freeman), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (Megan Hoy),
Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his
ancestors. тАЬItтАЩs alive!тАЭ he exclaims as he brings to life a
creature to rival his grandfatherтАЩs. Eventually, of course,
the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.
With such memorable tunes as тАЬThe Transylvania
Mania,тАЭ тАЬHe Vas My BoyfriendтАЭ and тАЬPuttinтАЩ on the
Ritz,тАЭ тАЬYoung FrankensteinтАЭ is scientifically-proven,
monstrously good entertainment, and the only place
youтАЩll witness a singing and dancing laboratory experiment in the largest tuxedo ever made.
This show is directed by Chris McKenzieWillenbrock and musically directed by Chris Climo.
Choreographers are Alison Forance and Stacy Ashley;
Producers are Winnie Cardaropoli and Rebecca

тАШThe Road
to BostonтАЩ
Today we begin our two-part series called
тАЬThe Road to BostonтАЭ on Page 22.
The series may look familiar to readers.
In July and August, we ran a similar fourpart series to introduce readers to the five
Democratic candidates vying for the 1st
Hampden-Hampshire District senate seat to
be left vacant by State Sen. Gale D. Candaras
(D тАУ Wilbraham).
Winning the Democratic nomination
in the State Primary held Sept. 9 was Eric
Lesser, of Longmeadow. He, along with
Republican candidate Debra Boronski and
America First candidate Michael Franco, are
now vying for the senate seat, which will be
decided in the stateтАЩs General Election to be
held Tuesday, Nov. 4.
The format of the series that begins on
Page 22 today is the same as the previous
series. We submitted a total of 19 questions to the candidates on a variety of topics
selected by our Editorial Board. This week,
the candidatesтАЩ field questions on the economy and infrastructure and public safety. Next
week, the candidates will answer questions
about education along with five wide-ranging questions submitted by readers.
Each candidate was allowed a maximum
of 200 words for each response. All candidates were required to adhere to a strict deadline to participate in the series. We allowed
Mr. Lesser to review the responses he submitted for the Democratic Primary series and
make minor edits related to timeliness.
In addition to The Register, the series
is running this week in all Turley newspapers whose coverage area is part of the 1st
Hampden-Hampshire District. They are the
Wilbraham-Hampden Times, the Belchertown
Sentinel, the Chicopee Register and GranbyтАЩs
Town Reminder.
In case you miss any part of this series,
or you just want to have the opportunity
for review, the series will also be available
online at www.ludlowregisteronline.com.
We want to take this opportunity to thank
Mr. Lesser, Ms. Boronski and Mr. Franco for
participating in Turley PublicationsтАЩ тАЬThe
Road to BostonтАЭ senate series. We hope readers find the series informative, as they decide
which candidate to support when they head
to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Letters to the Editor
We thank our First Responders and remember our POW/MIA
As we, the students in Room A4 at Veterans
Park School, started the year learning about
the tragic event of September 11, 2001, we
respectfully acknowledge those whose lives
were taken by this tragic event and honor
those who have served and died as a result of
this tragedy. We make the connection with all
service people at the federal, state and local
level. Primarily, our focus in Room A4┬аis on
the service people of our community тАУ firefighters, police and law enforcement, EMTs/
paramedics and EMS services, nurses, and
many more whose primary role is to keep our
community safe. ┬аTheir dedication and their
courageous response to keeping our town safe
is unending. ┬аThey keep us protected. ┬а
As we, the students of Room A4, learn
more about their dedication to our community, we learn the important role they have in
keeping our community strong. On behalf of
myself, Ms. Angela, and the students of Room
A4 at Veterans Park Elementary, we extend
our gratitude and a heart-filled тАЬThank YouтАЭ
for all you do for our community.
The students in Room A4 have written letters to the service people in town and some in
other surrounding towns and cities. We invite
these dedicated men and women to our classroom so that we can learn about their roles in
the community. One of A4тАЩs goals this year
is to get these service men and women back
into ALL of our schools working hand in hand
with the school system. Together we become
a team. These men and women are strong role
models for our young generation in our town.
We, in Room A4, are very proud of you and
would like to say тАЬThank youтАЭ and that you
are тАЬAWESOME.тАЭ ┬а
The best way to learn about your community is to be part of it. Get to know the people
who work in it and to know about who they
are and what their field entails as future community career choices.
September 11 became known as PatriotтАЩs
Day because it remembers the catastrophic terrorist attacks on the USA of 11th September
2001. What was a negative event became a
positive change тАУ we, the USA, stood together and overcame our fear of terrorism. Each
year on this day, the residents of Ludlow do
not have to travel any further than the Fire
Department to remember September 11th.

O
n the third Friday in September,
National POW/MIA Recognition Day,
both military and civilians honor the lost
and missing-in-action veterans and civilians.
And, with unwavering bi-partisan support, the
POW/MIA flag is flown over the White House
and also hangs in the U.S Capitol rotunda.
Across our nation, in city and rural halls,
Honor Guards and Moderators host ceremonies
honoring those missing in action and captured
on foreign soils.
The Honors Ceremony is serene and sacred.
A single, round table stands alone at the hallтАЩs
front as if on silent, sentinel duty. On standby
together, the red, white, and blue American
flag, and a black and white POA/MIA flag, are
side-by-side.

In a bridging ceremony held last March, Pack 180 Scouts Aaron Little, Matthew

Torcato Zina, Thomas Caproni, and Aidan Gutierrez became Webelos.┬а The
Scouts received their plaid neckerchiefs and were presented hiking staffs by
their Den Leaders.
Be A Scout: sign up on Tuesday!
┬аLUDLOW тАУ Scouting signups for
boys as young as kindergarteners and girls
who have completed the eighth grade will
be held Tuesday, Sept. 30, beginning at
6:30 p.m., in the Pastoral Center at St
Elizabeth Parish. All families in the community are welcome to come learn how
Scouting can benefit their children.
Representatives of Cub Scout Pack
180, Boy Scout Troop 180, and Venture
Crew 180 will be present to answer questions.
The three units are among the most
respected in the Council having consistently excelled in the Boy Scouts of AmericaтАЩs
ratings.┬аFor 2013, Cub Scout Pack 180
and Venture Crew 180 both achieved gold,
the highest rating. Boy Scout Troop 180
earned silver, the second highest rating.
Only 30 percent of the Scout units in the
Western Massachusetts CouncilтАЩs General
Knox District (Hampden County) qualified for bronze, silver or gold ratings.
Cub Scouts provides grade-appropriate,
family and community centered programs
for boys in K-5.┬а Kindergartners (Lions)
and first-graders (Tigers) include parents
or other family adults who join with the
boys and participate in their dens.┬аThe
Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts are the secondand third-graders, with the oldest boys in
the Pack being the Webelos.
Pack 180 will hold their annual
тАЬSpooky CampoutтАЭ coming up in October
that new members will be able to enjoy.
Held at Troop 180тАЩs Camp Falconer on
Alden Street, the тАЬSpooky CampoutтАЭ
includes haunted trails and a campfire presented by the Troop.
Boy Scouts can be joined at 11 years
old, or 10 years old and having completed the fifth grade. Boy Scouts follow an
advancement program that teaches life
skills. As the Scout advances he takes
on leadership of the younger boys in the
Troop. Each month, Troop 180 has a
theme, or topic, to learn. Coming up will
be pioneering skills with plans to build a
tower for the тАЬSpooky CampoutтАЭ by lashing saplings with rope.
Co-ed Scouting for boys and girls 14
years old or older, or 13 and having completed the eighth grade, is all about high
adventure! Crew 180 members spend their
time rock climbing (both real rock and
at local climbing gyms), canoeing, hiking and backpacking. The Crew performs
community service, and the youth have
leadership responsibilities. In Venturing,
the adults are considered advisers rather
than leaders.
More information can be found at

The round table, set for six, is reserved
to honor the missing veterans, missing comrades in arms, and missing loved ones. Each
empty place setting represents Americans
still missing from each of the five services
тАУ Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine
Corps, Navy тАУ and civilians. This surreal
setting acknowledges and symbolizes the
fact that loved ones are missing but are not
forgotten and that their memory and their
patriotic spirit is being remembered.
Honor Guards affirm that some went into
combat in their youth. Some never returned.
Brave men and women answered the
call to serve our country with their lives
and should never be forgotten, and they, the
POW/MIA, fought for freedom in honorable, sacrificial ways.
Throughout our nationтАЩs gatherings,
attendees are asked to stand and remain
standing for a moment of silent prayer.
During this reverent time, the Honor Guard
places a military service cover (hat) representing each military service, and a civilian
cap, on each empty plate.
Each ceremonial detail is dignified
and significant. The round table shows an
everlasting concern for those missing. The
draped, white tablecloth symbolizes their
motive purity as they answered the call to
duty. A single rose represents the life of
each missing American, as well as their
loved ones and friends who keep their faith
while waiting for answers. A red ribbon tied
around the vase illustrates the determination to continue accounting for the missing.
A lemon slice, placed on the bread plate,
reminds all ceremony participants of the
bitter fate of those captured and missing on
foreign soil. A pinch of salt symbolizes the
tears shed by those missing, their families
and their friends who still seek answers.
Centrally placed, тАЬThe Bible represents the
strength gained through faith to sustain those
lost from our country, founded as one nation
under God.тАЭ Beside each plate, an inverted
glass symbolizes their absence and not being
able to be present to share a toast.
тАЬThe chairs are empty тАУ they are missing.тАЭ
Across America, ceremonial Moderators
will conclude with, тАЬRaise your water glasses, in a toast, honoring all of the American
POW/MIAs and to the success of our efforts
to account for them.тАЭ
The POW-MIA flag can be present at all
national holidays and civic occasions, symbolizing that these heroes are gone but not
forgotten. During future patriotic, military
and civilian holidays, could there be тАЬAn
Empty SeatтАЭ put at family tables? In a very
personal way, our hearts could remember,
and honor the POW/MIA veterans and civilians.

LUDLOW тАУ Over 100 children accompanied by
family members attended the annual Boys & Girls Club
of America тАЬDay for KidsтАЭ event held at the Ludlow
Community Center/Randall Boys & Girls Club.
The special day for families and children was celebrated by Boys & Girls Clubs across the U.S. and
featured an afternoon of games, activities, music, raffles
and food.
тАЬDay for KidsтАЭ was held last Saturday, Sept. 20. The
free event is a way for Boys & Girls Clubs to give back
to the community, as well as bring together families and
community members for an entertaining day.
тАЬIt provides a chance for the community to come out
and for families to spend time together,тАЭ said Ludlow
Community Center/Randall Boys & Girls Club Events
Coordinator Sheri Santos. тАЬThereтАЩs no stress, just fun.тАЭ
With free ice cream provided by FriendlyтАЩs
Restaurant in Ludlow and hot dogs, chips, and popcorn
for sale through the Ludlow LionтАЩs Club, the atmosphere
was certainly festive. DJs from KIX 100.9 played music
for those in attendance, and volunteers from the Jolie
Hair and Beauty Academy in Ludlow painted faces and
nails. One volunteer who spent the afternoon painting
nails, Cosmetologist Kamera Bruce, explained that she
was happy to be giving back to the community.
тАЬKids DayтАЭ also featured a Child Safety ID program
sponsored by New York Life. As the name implies, the
program compiles information about a child for parents to store away in case of an emergency situation.
Information gathered included the childтАЩs photo, digital
fingerprints and physical description. Parents visiting
the booth received a free printout of this information to
take home.
On a less serious note, children in attendance were
allowed to select one free toy or book from a table of

gifts. A free raffle also gave kids a chance to win more
free prizes. All of these giveaways combined with a
giant bounce house and interactive activities, such as
hula hooping and poi performance art, ensured that kids
were having a blast.
тАЬHooping is just so much fun,тАЭ said Lauren Beth
Stein of LBSpinnerz Artz. тАЬSome people havenтАЩt hula
hooped in years. Interactive play events are the way to
go. People just have so much fun.тАЭ
Stein, also known as тАЬLady Blaze,тАЭ spent the afternoon encouraging kids to explore body movements
using hula hoops and rice-filled socks. Stein and her
partner Joe Janicki are performance artists who specialize in fire spinning, fire eating and fire breathing.
Although SaturdayтАЩs event was free of flames, children
and parents alike had fun playing together in an unstructured and creative environment.
Santos is thankful for the volunteers and staff at this
yearтАЩs event that made the day a true success. Alyssa
Russo, a staff member volunteering for her second year
at the event, explained that she continues to volunteer
at тАЬKids DayтАЭ because she enjoys the company of her
co-workers, and she is happy to see children and parents
having so much fun.

Western Mass

LUDLOW - After posting shutouts in
their previous two matches on the road,
the Western Mass. Professional Soccer
Club returned home to historic Lusitano
Stadium and put together another very
impressive performance against the A.C.
Crusaders.
Western Mass., who scored four goals
in the opening half and added another one early in the second half, cruised
to a 5-0 victory in an American Soccer
League match, which was played before

GRANBY- For the second year in
a row, the girls soccer match between
the Ludlow Lady Lions and the Granby
Lady Rams ended in a draw.
The visiting Lady Lions scored the
first goal early in the opening half and
the Lady Rams netted the game-tying
goal a minute into the second half. The
final 39:00 of the contest was a very
intense battle, but the non-league match
finished in a 1-1 tie at Granby High

LUDLOW - The first three weeks of
the girls volleyball season didnтАЩt go the
way that the Ludlow Lady Lions had
planned, but theyтАЩre still hoping to qualify for the Western Mass. Division 1
Tournament this fall.
The Lady Lions, who won seven
matches a year ago, began this weekтАЩs
action with a 2-5 overall record.
тАЬLast year was the first time in
five years that we didnтАЩt qualify for
the tournament and it was very disappointing,тАЭ said Ludlow head coach Pat
Annecchiarico, who has been coaching
the varsity team for the past 11 years.
тАЬWeтАЩre still hoping to make the postseason tournament this year.тАЭ
Please see VOLLEYBALL, Page 20
school girls soccer teams in Western
Mass.,тАЭ said Granby head coach Nick
Boorman. тАЬPlaying very good teams
like Ludlow is a good test for us and
IтАЩm very pleased with how well my
team played today. We do have a lot of
respect for Ludlow and itтАЩs a great soccer town.тАЭ
While Boorman was pleased with
the way his team played, Ludlow head
coach Katie Marino thought her team
couldтАЩve played a little bit better.
тАЬIтАЩm very disappointed with how my
team played today,тАЭ Marino said. тАЬWe
have to start realizing that every game
that we play is very important.тАЭ
When the two teams faced each other
at Ludlow High School last October, the
final score was 2-2.
The Lady Rams entered this yearтАЩs
matchup with a perfect 4-0 record, while
the Lady Lions had a 3-1-1 mark.
The Lady Lions took a 1-0 lead during the fourth minute when senior forward Kailah Papuga beat a couple of
defenders and fired a shot past Granby
senior goalkeeper Michaela Sansouci
into the right corner for her third goal of
the season. It was assisted by PapugaтАЩs
classmate Alyssa Szymczyk, whoтАЩs a
midfielder.
тАЬItтАЩs always nice to have an early
lead in the game,тАЭ Marino said. тАЬYou
just have to be able to hold onto the
lead.тАЭ

L U D L OW - W h i l e t h e n o n league boys soccer matchup between
Belchertown and Ludlow was just another regular season contest for longtime
Orioles head coach Tony Almeida, the
match meant a little bit more to his players.
Following a scoreless opening half,
Belchertown senior forward Nick Drost
scored a goal during the 53rd minute
en-route to a 1-0 shutout victory against
the Lions at historic Lusitano Stadium in
Ludlow, last Monday night, Sept. 15.
тАЬThis was definitely one of the biggest
games of the season for us,тАЭ said Drost,
who tallied a total of 15 goals last season
as a junior. тАЬWe knew that this was going
to be a very close game and everything
just clicked for us tonight. Hopefully, this
win will give us a lot more confidence.тАЭ

Indians knock off Ludlow late
By Dave Forbes
Turley Publications
Sports Staff Writer
LUDLOW - While it was a close
affair all night long between the
Turners Falls and Ludlow squads,
it was the Indians that were able
to make the difference in the final
quarter and pull off the 21-20 victory.
Ludlow held leads of 6-0, 14-6
and 20-14, but could not pull out the
victory in the end.
The Lions (1-2) jumped out to
a 6-0 lead with 7:27 left in the first
quarter when Andrew Conchinha
took in a 39-yard reception from
quarterback Dan Rodrigues.
After Turners tied it up later in
the first quarter, the Lions answered
with a touchdown with just over
3:00 left in the second quarter. This
time, running back Brian Pacheco
broke off a long 55-yard run to put
the Lions back on top at 12-6. Tim
Patterson then converted the two
points on the ground to extend the
lead to 14-6.
Much like they did in the first
quarter, though, the Indians responded on the next drive. This time,
quarterback Tionne Brown hooked
up with Jalen Sanders for a 16yard pass play for the touchdown.
Sanders then ran in the two-point
conversion and the two teams headed to the locker room tied at 14-14
at halftime.
After a scoreless third quarter,
Pacheco used another long run to
put the Lions back on top. This time,
Pacheco raced into the end zone
from 74 yards out to put Ludlow on
top for the third time in the contest
at 20-14.
Turners would have one final
answer, though, as Trent Borbeau
evened the score at 20-20 with 1:14
left on a 14-yard sprint to the end
zone for his second touchdown of
the evening. The Indians then added
the extra point to account for the
final score.
Rodrigues was 4-for-10 passing
the ball for 57 yards and a touchdown. Conchina had two catches
for 45 yards and a touchdown, while
Pacheco had two as well for 12
yards.
Pacheco had a big game on the
ground with 226 yards on 15 carries.
Patterson rushed the ball seven times
for 45 yards and Dustin Martin had
two carries for 21 yards.

Will Daniels (13) turns to make a
play up the field.
a large crowd, last Saturday night.
тАЬI thought that we did a very good job
of playing together as a team tonight,тАЭ
said Western Mass. head coach Federico
Molinari. тАЬAll of the players played very
well and this is probably the best game
that weтАЩve played so far this season.тАЭ
Western Mass., who improved their
season record to 2-0-2, has outscored
their first four opponents 8-1. TheyтАЩre
currently in second place in the league
standings.
тАЬWe really should be 4-0 right now,
but weтАЩre still learning to play together
as a team,тАЭ said Will Daniels, who came
very close to recording his first hat trick
as a professional player. тАЬEveryone was
on the same page in this match tonight.
WeтАЩve been working very hard in practice and itтАЩs starting to pay off. IтАЩm just
so happy to be a member of this team
because itтАЩs like one big family.тАЭ
Daniels, who was also a member of
the Western Mass. Pioneers PDL team
last spring, leads the professional team
with four goals. He also scored a pair of
goals in the road match against Rhode
Island, which was a 2-0 victory.
While Western Mass., who normally
practices three nights during the week,
had a week off between matches, the
Crusaders (2-4) defeated Mass. United,
2-1, the previous night in another road
match.
Western Mass. came out firing on all
cylinders offensively, as they outshot the
Crusaders, 11-1, in the opening 45 minutes.
The home team took a 1-0 lead during the 15th minute when James Beeston
sent a crossing pass from the left side of
the box to Daniels, who fired a shot into

the ball off.

the back of the net past Crusaders goalkeeper Okuda Tetsuya for a 1-0 lead.
Three minutes later, Western Mass.
took a 2-0 advantage when Mike Matera
sent a crossing pass from the right side of
the box to Daniel Fabien, who scored his
first professional goal increasing the lead
to 2-0.
Fabien assisted on the third goal,
which was scored by Maxi Viera in the
20th minute. It was also his first professional goal.
The three goals by Western Mass.
in the span of 5:00 pretty much put the
game out of reach.
Daniels tallied his second goal of the
match on a line drive shot late in the first
half, which was assisted by Matera.
Holding a 4-0 halftime advantage,
Beeston notched his first professional
goal when he blasted a shot into the left
corner, which was unassisted, during the
52nd minute.
Before coming out of the game,
Daniels had a chance to post his first professional hat trick on a free kick, but the
shot sailed over the crossbar.
Down at the other end of the field,
the only save Western Mass. goalkeeper Warren Gross had to make came on
a shot in the 77th minute. He received
plenty of support from his defense led by
Pat Boucher, Trey Jasenski, and Frank
DтАЩAgostino.
More than 100 youngsters attended
a soccer clinic sponsored by Chevrolet
Youth Soccer prior to the start of last
SaturdayтАЩs match. Many of the youngsters were back on the field following
the match collecting autographs from the
Western Mass. players.
Western Mass. will be playing another
home match against Rhode Island at 7
p.m. on Saturday.

LudlowтАЩs Olivia Santos (2) looks down at the ball as GranbyтАЩs Julia Cloutier
(2) closes in.
It marked the first time that Granby
trailed this season.
тАЬEven though we were trailing for the first time this season, we
really werenтАЩt very worried about it,тАЭ
Boorman said. тАЬOur mentality is its still
0-0 and we need to score the next goal.
We just kept playing hard.тАЭ
Neither team had very many scoring
chances during the rest of the first half.
GranbyтАЩs best opportunity to tie the
score came on a corner kick during the
eighth minute. The kick taken from the
right corner by sophomore midfielder Kate Sarnacki went to eighth grade
midfielder Olivia Morin, whose shot
attempt sailed over the crossbar.
It looked like the Lady Lions would
score another goal in the 26th minute
on a shot from about 25 yards by sophomore midfielder Mariana Goncalves,
but it clanked off the crossbar.
Late in the opening half, a line drive
shot by Papuga sailed high.
The Lady Rams held a 1-0 halftime
advantage.
At the start of the second half,
Sansouci, who didnтАЩt make any saves
during the first 40:00, was replaced in
goal by sophomore Brooklyn Baran,
who was credited with six saves.
A minute into the second half, a low
shot taken by eighth-grade forward
Summer Molin landed in the left corner
past Ludlow senior goalkeeper Meghan
McCarthy (five saves). The game-tying
goal was assisted by junior forward
Alicia Frappier.
тАЬSummer was in a great position
when she put that shot into the net,тАЭ
Boorman said. тАЬThat scoring play actually began with our defense that moved
the ball down the field.тАЭ
The members of the Lady Rams
defensive unit are senior Megan
Bachand, senior Meghan Sullivan, and
sophomore Jordan Bessette.
Ten minutes into the second half,
Baran made a pair of saves on backto-back shots by sophomore defender
Taylor Masse and junior midfielder
Giavanna Colaaccino.
During the 55th minute, a breakaway
shot by Molin went wide right.
With less than 5:00 left in regulation, a shot attempt by Ludlow senior
midfielder Molly Palatino was saved by
Baran and the score was still tied when
the referee blew his whistle for the final
time.
The members of both teams are hoping to face each other on the soccer
pitch again a year from now.
The two squads were back in action
the following day.
Ludlow tied Coombs Division rival
West Springfield, 1-1, in their first game
of the season at the stadium field behind
the high school. It was also the Lady
Lions third consecutive tie.
Granby posted an 8-0 shutout road
victory against Pioneer Valley Regional,
which kept their undefeated season
alive.

Ludlow sweeps Belchertown
LUDLOW - The Ludlow Football
Association reached the halfway point
in the season on Sunday, playing host to
the Belchertown Eagles at Whitney Park.
Week #4 proved to be very successful for
the Lions as all three teams walked away
with wins.
The Pee-WeeтАЩs bounced back from
a two-game slide, soundly defeating the
Eagles 30-0. Quarterback Brady DeBarge
accounted for three of LudlowтАЩs touchdowns and ran for over 100 yards, while
Ryan Kennedy and Mason Marques each
had a hand in the scoring with two-pont
conversions and a defensive touchdown
(Kennedy). Helping fuel an offense that
never slowed down was the stellar play
of the offensive line. Led by center Alex
Legacy, linemen Jadon Gibbs, Austin
Champigny, Lily Berthiaume-Denete
and Vicky Fogg held their blocks all day
and gave the backs ample room to run.
Defensively, Gibbs had a breakout day
recording numerous tackles in the backfield
and one fumble recovery. He and the rest
of his line mates Roniel Traveras, Brady
(Moose) Kahle, and Gabriel Porfirio were
solid throughout. Also having a breakout
game on both sides of the ball was Aiden
Hervieux whose solid all-around play was
instrumental in the LionsтАЩ victory.
LudlowтАЩs Juniors improved their season
record to 3-1 with a 30-6 victory. Jamonte
Beckett was a scoring machine: rushing
for two TDтАЩs, catching a pass in the end
zone from Chris Fogg, and running back
an interception late in the game. Fogg and
Cameron LaPatin also each contributed
on key drives in the second half. After letting up an early score, LudlowтАЩs defense
buckled down and played sharp. Nolan
Ayers, Nathan Carreira, Aaron Stasiowski,
Joe Villano and Elijah Ryan each chipped
in with key tackles during the LionsтАЩ solid
defensive effort.
Ludlow Seniors also improved to 3-1
by defeating Belchertown 36-6. From start
to finish, Jeremy Garcia only performed in
one mode - тАЬgo-modeтАЭ. The speedy senior
leader was nearly unstoppable during his
three touchdown performance, either eluding EaglesтАЩ defenders or choosing to take
them with him. Jacob Ferris ran equally as
well for two scores and Carson Kowalski
added one. Dylan Beddow added to the
offensive attack, churning out some tough,
key yards when called upon. Defensively
the Lions were once again solid all
around. Lineman Zach Dunn and Robert
Gregory helped plug up the middle while
Josh Saloio, Leonardo Ortiz, Christian
Mackenzie, Michael Hastings and Michael
Bacon all stepped up with key plays to help
keep BelchertownтАЩs offense in check.
Ludlow will continue their home schedule this Sunday as they host Chicopee at
Whitney Park. The Pee-Wee game kicks
off at 12 p.m. with the Junior and Senior
games to immediately follow.

whenever we play against the top teams.тАЭ
The Orioles, who entered the match
with a 1-1-2 season record, lost 2-1
against Ludlow at home last September,
which was the first meeting between the
two teams on the soccer pitch in about
ten years.
The Orioles would then lose their next
game against West Springfield before
ending the season with a 17-game winning streak, which included a thrilling 21 victory against Eastern Mass. champion
Medway in the Division 3 state finals.
Belchertown and Ludlow have also
faced each other in the Pioneer Valley
Summer Soccer League Division A
championship match during the past three
years. Belchertown finally took home the
championship trophy following a 2-1
victory in penalty kicks, which was also
played at Lusitano Stadium at the beginning of August.
The Lions, who had won their first
three games of the regular season, were
also shutout in both of their regular season losses a year ago by Westborough
and Chicopee.

тАЬWe just couldnтАЩt find the back of the net

The Orioles outshot the Lions 16-13
in last MondayтАЩs game.
It was the second shutout of the season for Belchertown junior goalkeeper
Connor Curtain (6 saves), who has been
sharing the starting duty with sophomore
Tanner Clark.
тАЬOur defense has been coming along
very well so far this season,тАЭ Almeida
said. тАЬTheyтАЩre also doing a very good job
of protecting both of our keepers.тАЭ
Curtain posted his first varsity shutout
in the Orioles second match of the season
at Agawam, which ended in a scoreless
draw.
The Orioles defensive unit is led
by senior Billy Aldrich, senior Allen
Gariepy, senior Ryan Stinson, and junior
Spencer Caron.
Early in the first half, back-to-back
shots by Belchertown junior midfielderтАЩs
Jonathan Ingram and Noah Lussier were
saved by Ludlow senior keeper Tyler
Diotalevi (7 saves).
The Lions defensive unit, which
played well in the opening 40 minutes,
was led by seniorтАЩs Nick Dos Santos,
Gabe Pereira, Bruno Machado, and Sam
Ferenandes.
LudlowтАЩs best scoring chance in the
first half came on a free kick by senior
Mike Goncalves in the 16th minute. The
kick taken from the top of the box was
into the wall, but Machado knocked the
rebound shot over the crossbar.
The Orioles finally broke the ice in
the 53rd minute when a shot by Drost

Volleyball, from Page 17
One of the Lady Lions victories came on the road against
Amherst by the final score of 3-2,
last Monday night, Sept. 15. The
Lady Lions trailed 2-0 in that match
before battling back to win the final
three games 25-18, 25-16, 15-9.
тАЬWe were able to come back
from a 2-0 deficit to beat Amherst,
who was undefeated going into the
match,тАЭ Annecchiarico said. тАЬThat
was a very big victory for us.тАЭ
Senior Alyssa Guyon, whoтАЩs one
of the best female athletes currently
attending Ludlow High School, led
the way in the upset victory against
Amherst with eight kills and four
blocks. She had a team-leading 46
kills in the Lady Lions first seven
matches of the season.
тАЬAlyssa played a great game
against Amherst,тАЭ Annecchiarico
said. тАЬSheтАЩs one of our strongest hitters and weтАЩre going really miss her
next year.тАЭ
Meghan Martowski, whoтАЩs also a
member of the senior class, chipped
in with four kills and six blocks in
that win.
The Lady Lions also defeated the
Renaissance School, 3-1, in another
road match a couple of weeks ago.
While Ludlow has posted a 2-2
road record this season, theyтАЩre a
disappointing 0-3 in their matches at
Mullins Gymnasium.
Following their big win against
Amherst, the Lady Lions returned
home and suffered a 3-0 loss
in a non-league match against
Longmeadow and they also lost 31 at home last Friday night against
West Springfield, which was their
first Western Division match.
Besides qualifying for the
Western Mass. Tournament with
a .500 or better record, the Lady
Lions can also make the postseason
tournament if they can finish in first
or second place in the league standings.
Guyon and Martowski, along
with Breauna Allore are the Lady
Lions senior tri-captains this year.
тАЬAll three of our captains are
doing a great job and theyтАЩre very
good team leaders,тАЭ Annecchiarico
said. тАЬMeghan Martowski is probably our most improved player this
year. SheтАЩs also starting to under-
stand the game very well. Breauna
doesnтАЩt get too many hits, but sheтАЩs
doing a very good job of blocking
from the right side.тАЭ
The other seniors listed on the
Lady Lions varsity volleyball roster
are McKenzie Bingham, Madellin
Quiterio and Betsy Barrett.
The four juniors are Hannah
Goncalves, Riley Harrington, Jenn
Saloio, and Mia Jeronimo.
Rounding out the Lady Lions
varsity roster are sophomores Nina
Dias, Olivia Barbeau, Kayla Murphy
and Lexi Kipetz.
The Lady Lions junior varsity
coach is Shannon Robitallie, who
had an outstanding career as a member of the Lady Lions volleyball
team.
тАЬShannon has really done a
great job of developing our jayvee
program during the past couple of
years,тАЭ Annecchiarico said. тАЬHer
team has been playing very well so
far this year.тАЭ
The other members of the
Lady Lions coaching staff are Joe
Trivisonno and Evan Walkwitz.
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

Tires, along with plastic bottles, are the most common trash
items found every year in the Connecticut River during the
Source to Sea Cleanup. Cleaning up this trash keeps it from
reaching our oceans and becoming a global problem.
REGION тАУ Thousands of
Source to Sea Cleanup volunteers
remove tons of trash from the
Connecticut River basin, preventing it from ever reaching the Long
Island Sound, the Atlantic Ocean
and the large floating garbage
patches around the world.
Hosted by the Connecticut River
Watershed Council (CRWC), the
18th annual Source to Sea Cleanup
is a two-day collaborative trash
clean-up event in all four states of
the 410+ mile Connecticut River
watershed тАУ New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts and
Connecticut. On Sept. 26 and 27,
volunteers will pick up trash along
rivers, streams and stream banks,
parks, boat launches, trails and
more.
тАЬPlastics are now one of the
most common pollutants of ocean
waters worldwide,тАЭ said Charles
J. Moore, founder of the Algalita
Marine Research and Education
Institute in California, in a recent
New York Times article. The large
plastic garbage patches cover тАЬas
much as 40 percent of the planetтАЩs
ocean surface тАУ roughly 25 percent
of the entire earth.тАЭ
тАЬThe Connecticut River is New
EnglandтАЩs largest river and provides
more than 70 percent of the fresh
water to the Long Island Sound,тАЭ
said CRWC Executive Director
Andrew Fisk. тАЬOver the past 17
years of the Cleanup, volunteers
have removed more than 851 tons
of trash just from the Connecticut
River basin. By participating in the
Source to Sea Cleanup, local folks
are making our corner of the planet
just that much cleaner.тАЭ
тАЬSome really unbelievable things
have been pulled from our rivers,
such as a cement mixer, parking
meters, propane tanks and junk
cars,тАЭ added Cleanup Coordinator
& River Steward Jacqueline Talbot.
тАЬWhen so many people step up to
be a part of the solution for healthy
rivers, it inspires hope.тАЭ
┬аLast year, volunteers picked up
more than 8,400 plastic bottles and
hundreds of tires. CRWC plans to
use 2014 trash data to help inform
policies and legislation that will get
bottle and tire waste out of our rivers. This includes supporting the
expansion of existing bottle bills to
include all single-use beverage containers and the creation of legislation allowing for free tire disposal.

group can visit CRWCтАЩs website at

1ST HAMPDEN-HAMPSHIRE DISTRICT SENATE RACE SERIES
Debra Boronski
Michael Franco
Eric Lesser
Part 1: The Greater SpringямБeld Economy
and Public Safety and Infrastructure
This is the first in a two-part series of
coverage of the State Senate race in the
1st Hampden and Hampshire District. An
editorial board made up of editors of Turley Publications newspapers has determined that the candidates can speak for
themselves when we asked them questions
from the board, as well as questions posed
by our readers. Responses have been edited only for clarity. Democratic candidate
Eric Lesser, whose responses appeared in
Turley PublicationsтАЩ Democratic Primary
coverage, was provided with the opportunity to minimally revise his responses here
to address timeliness.
Q
What would you do to get the attention of leaders in Boston and
Eastern Massachusetts about the
plight of the Greater Springfield economy, which is lagging behind the rest of
the state?
sponsible for its present condition.
I know the recent history of Springfield well. My parents were born and
raised there, later moving our family to
East Longmeadow. I also spent much of
my adult youth working, going to school
and making friends in the city.
Unfortunately, Springfield has been
on a steady decline. Corruption runs rampant, and politicians are taking the city in
the wrong direction. Therefore, I would
approach State House leadership with a
new entrepreneurial attitude тАУ that we are
not victims of greater forces out east and
that we can stand on our own two feet.
Under my legislative leadership, we
will fight to keep our hard earned dollars
here in the region, and start to rebuild private industry through an innovative spirit
and a skilled and motivated work force.
I would communicate this new outlook
with my colleagues on a daily basis, both
verbally and in writing.
DEBRA BORONSKI
A
As senator for the First Hampden
Hampshire District, it is my job to
be a constant and vigilant voice
for Western Massachusetts. Having lived
in the district my entire life, I have firsthand knowledge of our plight. My connection with local businesses, experience
in dealing with the citizens, businesses
and local lawmakers through my work
with Chambers of Commerce gives my
representation of this district the personal
understanding needed to actively and successfully advocate for our region.
The role of a senator is to legislate.
Proposing new bills that look to entice industry to the region will be drafted along
with bills that provide incentives to existing businesses will be first on my agenda.
I will collaborate with senior lawmakers
as well as economic and financial leaders
and will look to bring them into the region so they can understand our plight as
well as I do. My Chamber of Commerce
connections throughout the state offer an
opportunity to bring our struggles to the
attention of Eastern Massachusetts media
outlets as well as both business and political leaders. We need to make sure Eastern
Massachusetts leaders understand that the
state cannot succeed while any portion of
our economy struggles.
MICHAEL FRANCO
A
Your question is framed to portray
Springfield as the victim of forces
in-and-around Boston. IтАЩd rather
not look at this from the perspective of a
community organizer, of which I am not.
Certainly the city has its problems that
we cannot deny. But we are ultimately re-
ERIC LESSER
A
Ultimately the greatest way to ensure weтАЩre part of the discussion
is to make sure we have a seat at
the table, and the way we do that is by
organizing, demanding that our voices in
Western Massachusetts are heard, and offering new ideas and new vision to change
the status quo. Otherwise, weтАЩll be stuck
with the same old routine of Western Massachusetts getting ignored.
As state senator, I will vigorously advocate for Greater SpringfieldтАЩs strengths
and for policies that build on those
strengths. These include increased support for our high-tech manufacturing sector and improvements to our infrastructure, including high speed rail to Boston.
ItтАЩs not fair that Eastern Massachusetts gets all the attention when we have
so many needs here. As state senator, I
will continue to knock on doors throughout our area to learn firsthand what our
citizens need.
Q
What would you do to bring more
technology and innovation companies to Greater Springfield?
DEBRA BORONSKI
A
Greater Springfield needs jobs, all
kinds of jobs from as many different types of industries as possible.
What we need to focus on is making Massachusetts more business friendly so that
our companies arenтАЩt leaving for other
states that offer them more incentives.
Technology and innovation companies,
like all companies, need well-qualified
applicants and a business friendly envi-
ronment. Tech companies like Google,
Airbnb and Uber among them promise
an economic boost to the area where they
locate, but in exchange, they want cities
to be flexible and change rules and regulations to enable new businesses and the
technologies that underlie them. We must
be flexible, and creative with all businesses that want to call Massachusetts/Greater
Springfield home.
The Tax FoundationтАЩs 2014 State
Business Tax Climate Index ranks Massachusetts #25 in the country. We are rated
D+ for being a business friendly state.
We have complex, non-neutral taxes with
comparatively high rates. We need to focus on keeping the businesses we have
here healthy and profitable as well.
MICHAEL FRANCO
A
I would work hard and communicate with the right people to
bring more innovation and various
technologies to the Greater Springfield
area. Precision manufacturing and metal
working have always been our core competency and strength in the Pioneer Valley, which means we should first focus on
it, then branch out to other technologies.
However, the government should get out
of industryтАЩs way with regard to onerous
regulation and confiscatory taxation.
Businesses also require predictability in their fixed and operational costs.
They do not want to suddenly be used for
a bailout for local government because of
fiscal irresponsibility and structural mismanagement. Markets and the micro and
macro economies are difficult enough for
businesses to navigate as it is. We also
need to find ways to prevent тАЬbrain drainтАЭ
by making Massachusetts and our region more economical for highly trained
young adults to live and work here. This
means, particularly, that basic necessities
like gasoline, home utilities and aggregate
taxation must be affordable.
ERIC LESSER
A
Our region has historically been a
hotbed for innovation тАУ from the
first gasoline-powered automobile
to the invention of basketball. We are also
national leaders in high-tech manufacturing. To make the most of these strengths,
I would improve training programs and
work to make sure our most talented workers stay local. One way to do this is to improve collaboration between our schools
and our local businesses. FloDesign, for
example, has successfully placed many
local engineering grads in jobs designing
wind turbines and jet engine components
at their headquarters in Wilbraham.
We can also provide more support to
nonprofit groups like Tech Foundry and
Valley Venture Mentors, which are preparing people for careers in the technology and entrepreneurship fields, thereby
fueling innovative new businesses right
here in Western Massachusetts.
I am also a strong advocate for a
high-speed rail link between Springfield
and Boston, which will help attract more
high tech economies to Western Massachusetts.
As your state senator, I will bring
new energy to these initiatives and make
sure weтАЩre getting support from Beacon
Hill to make our area a magnet for talent
and innovation.
Q
A
Would you work to end corporate
welfare?
DEBRA BORONSKI
Corporate welfare is a term that
compares corporate financial assistance to welfare payments for
the poor. The term is used to describe
the governmentтАЩs offer of grants and tax
breaks to corporations and implies that
corporations are in much less need of support than anyone else. How can we, in one
breath, cry about a dismal economy with
too many people on unemployment, and
in the next breath complain about offering
businesses support and incentives to stay
in Western Massachusetts and employ our
citizens? IsnтАЩt investing in a business that
employs 100 people a worthy venture?
ThatтАЩs an additional 100 families gainfully employed, paying taxes and reinvesting
in our economy.
If done fairly, legally and for the good
of the community and its people, then
supporting our businesses is not welfare,
it is workfare and makes sense. The fastest growing state in the country is New
York because it is doing just that.
MICHAEL FRANCO
A
Your question has a particularly
left wing tone to it. But I will
gladly answer it just the same. As
a legislative leader at the State House, I
would work dutifully and diligently to reform all types of тАЬwelfareтАЭ entitlements
and cash benefits provided by politicians
who seem to be overly generous with other peopleтАЩs money.
I would fight against crony corporatism advocated by special interests and the
Chamber of Commerce, and I would work

to reform the welfare system created by
a socialist and progressive administrative
state, which is enabled by both political
parties that continue to construct inefficient, and sometimes ineffective, big government programs. These programs and
their agents ultimately rob citizens of our
Constitutional freedoms and prosperity.
ERIC LESSER
A
Yes. Year after year, the middle
class is asked to do increasingly
more with increasingly less. In
particular, our tax system is unfair to middle class families and is skewed to benefit wealthy corporations at the expense
of everyday people. We need to restore
fairness, and that means ensuring corporations pay their fair share of taxes, pay
their workers fair wages, and give back to
the communities that give them so much.
I will have a zero tolerance policy for
tax evasions, corporate giveaways, and inside deals that pad the pockets of corporations at the expense of our middle class. I
will also work to protect and fight for our
local family-owned businesses, which are
increasingly getting squeezed and asked
to pay for corporate welfare that does not
benefit our local economy.
Q
According to statistical research
conducted by the firm WalletHub.
com, Massachusetts ranks 46th
in the state in regard to the condition of
its public roads. What would you do to
improve this rating?
DEBRA BORONSKI
A
Focusing on my own district, I will
make sure that we receive our fair
share of monies set aside to take
care of our roads and bridges. As senator
I would vigorously represent my cities
and towns and insist that we get what is
promised. It is unacceptable that we have
been left behind for so long. The Town of
East Longmeadow was approved for repaving of the State Route 21 (Elm Street)
18 years ago. Each year, while we waited
for the funding we were required by Mass
DOT to upgrade the plans at great cost to
stay on the list of approved projects. After 18 years, the road was in such disrepair, we could no longer wait and did it
ourselves at the expense of the citizens of
East Longmeadow.
Our tax dollars are sitting in Boston,
approved for the work, yet more of our tax
dollars had to be used to get the job done.
This is a shameful example of how our
government failed to work for the people.
As a past member of the East Longmeadow Board of Selectman, I have firsthand
experience in this and many other areas.
This experience will serve my constituents well.
MICHAEL FRANCO
A
I would work to help improve the
condition of our public roads by
researching and asking questions
of the right entities that design and construct our roads, bridges and tunnels. In
my opinion our public roads should always be safe, simply constructed, easy to
maintain and repair, as well as convenient
and inexpensive to travel in their use by
commerce and for leisure. A public road
is a utility in its nature. It is a tool for
use in our aggregate mobility. Lastly, we
should stop the use of the gasoline tax to
fund public transportation. This revenue
source should only be used for our roads.
A
WeтАЩve all experienced this problem and it is only getting worse.
We know that maintaining our
roads reduces traffic fatalities, but it also
saves nearly $500 per motorist in Massachusetts by reducing damage and wearand-tear on our vehicles. We also know
that the state pays $2 million a year just
to prevent the Interstate 91 viaduct in
Springfield from falling apart. Keeping
roads well maintained is essential for economic health and also saves us money. I
will make sure funding for our roads is
protected and ensure we have dedicated
maintenance plans in place.
I will also strongly advocate for investments in alternative forms of transportation, especially the upcoming northsouth rail link between Springfield and
Hartford, and a new east-west rail link
between Springfield and Boston. Highspeed rail will reduce congestion on our
roads, ease transportation throughout our
region, and open vast new economic opportunities in the process.
Q
What do you believe is the biggest problem hampering the ability of police to fight crime within
the 1st Hampden-Hampshire District? If
elected, what will you do to correct these
problems?
DEBRA BORONSKI
A
The biggest problem is communication and funding. As your next
senator, I will fight to bring back
funding for community policing and work
hard to put more people in uniforms for
our communities. The state took away
community policing grants that allowed
our officers to get into the communities
and have more personal and open dialogue with those they serve.
Communication is key to understanding the issues and concerns in each of our
very different communities. Our police
need the opportunity to be in our schools,
so they can act as a role model and mentor for students. They need to meet with
our seniors, so they can educate them
on how to be safe and so our seniors can
share their fears and concerns. They need
to be getting involved in youth sports and
attending open houses. If our police officers can become an integral part of our
community, an everyday expected known
presence, they will have more impact on
changing lives and decisions and will be
more successful in making our neighborhoods safe.
MICHAEL FRANCO
A
Warning. My answer may offend:
The biggest problem hampering
crime prevention in the Greater
Springfield area is the denigration of our
culture. When my grandparents came to
America, legally through its тАЬfront doorтАЭ
from their native countries of Italy, Poland
and Sweden, they did so to seek opportunity and economic freedom. They did not
expect a handout, nor would they have
taken one. Instead they served their new
home by helping to build it, and sometimes defend it. They worked two and
three jobs to support themselves, and they
grew their families in a responsible way.
To the contrary, today, we have an
ever-expanding welfare state and a struggling work ethic. This new ideal, unfortunately, creates idleness and mischief
amongst our population.
Furthermore, this problem is most
certainly compounded by a тАЬrevolving
doorтАЭ criminal justice system in our Massachusetts trial courts, where dejected and
discouraged judges and their staffs try to
manage a worsening criminal element. To
fix this problem will not be easy. But we
need to reverse course, to reinstating ethics, morals and the rule of law, as well as a
concurrent heightened work ethic because
having a job is the best social welfare program to upright a society.
ERIC LESSER
A
I will work to reduce the root
causes of crime, take on the heroin
epidemic, and advocate for more
state help for our police programs. The
root cause of crime in our area is a lack of
economic opportunity тАУ I will combat this
by improving our job training programs,
education, infrastructure, and attracting
more tech companies and entrepreneurs
to our area. Our young people need to
know a bright future is possible if you
work hard and follow the rules.
We also need to do more to combat
the heroin epidemic. My plan for combating heroin, which I outlined in an April
op-ed published in MassLive, includes increasing the share of state money for drug
prevention sent to Western Massachusetts,
cracking down on abuse of prescription
pain medicines, investing in treatments
that can reduce withdrawal symptoms,
and when all else fails, ensuring that police and other first responders have access
to Narcan, an anti-overdose drug proven
to save lives.
Finally, I will work to ensure our police have the resources they need, including funding for innovative policing programs like the North End Initiative, which
reduced crime by more than 60 percent,
and the BADGE Initiative in Forest Park.
We need to make sure these effective programs are supported and replicated.
Q
Bullying
and
cyberbullying
among school-age children is a
serious problem. Approved legislation, however, puts the onus of responsibility primarily on school staff. Can and
should existing state laws be amended
to include criminal penalties for these
young perpetrators? Please explain.
DEBRA BORONSKI
A
I was the victim of bullying as a
young girl in middle school. It is a
painful, hurtful debilitating experience. While we need our educators to be
on the lookout for this behavior, it starts
at home.
I believe we need to provide education on this topic to all students at an early
age. We also need to work with parents
and teachers to help them learn to identify
and curb potential at-risk behaviors that
their children/students may start to exhibit. We must also establish consequences
for this abuse and follow through with the
proposed consequences if the behavior is
demonstrated.
Bullying, if not prevented by parents
or inhibited by educators, is a crime just
as intimidation and harassment are crimes
and must be dealt with appropriately.
MICHAEL FRANCO
A
Bullying among our school-age
children has always existed. Perhaps it is a more serious problem
now for the reasons I have explained in
my earlier comments above. And I agree
that the тАЬonus of responsibilityтАЭ should
not be placed primarily on our educators
and school staff. The responsibility must
be placed on our families and related
communities outside of school. And,
more laws will not solve the problem.
The administrative state and our judiciary
are already struggling to process infractions and enforce the laws already on our
books.
Again, we must reform our culture
to the basics of common sense, civility
and empathy toward our fellow citizens.
Perhaps most importantly, we must reintegrate the father, or father figure, back
into the family.
ERIC LESSER
A
In certain circumstances, bullying
and cyberbullying are already eligible for prosecution as criminal
harassment, under the Massachusetts antibullying law passed in 2010. This April, a
new law was passed to require bullying
prevention plans of all schools as well
as procedures for collecting, maintaining and reporting bullying incident data.
These are positive steps that I support.
It is also important to remember that the
majority of bullying and cyberbullying
incidents still go unreported, especially
those against LGBT students.
As your state senator, I will foster
increased public discussion of bullying
and cyberbullying and work to ensure that
school support staff have the tools they
need to conduct mental health monitoring
to prevent incidents whenever possible.
In certain extreme cases, having
criminal penalties available can be an effective tool for deterring the worst offenders. It is important for our schools, and our
broader culture, to make clear there is zero
tolerance for bullying and cyberbullying.
We also must do a better job of providing
support for victims of bullying and letting
them know there are resources available
тАУ they do not have to suffer alone.
Q
Should communities participate
in a regional dispatch center or
should dispatch remain localized? Please explain your answer.
DEBRA BORONSKI
A
s a member of the East Longmeadow Board of Selectman, we
discussed this topic in detail. Ultimately, I believe the choice belongs with
the community that would be impacted.
MICHAEL FRANCO
A
The local communities should
decide whether to participate in
a regional dispatch center. For instance, in a grouping of hill towns to the
west, and northwest of Greater Springfield, which are usually small, sparsely
populated communities, those towns may
decide to regionalize their dispatch services to share costs, equipment and resources. But for the towns in our district to
include Longmeadow, East Longmeadow,
Hampden, Wilbraham, Ludlow, Belchertown and Granby, regionalization may not
be optimal since these towns appear to
have the infrastructure and capability to
operate their own centers.
Most certainly Springfield and Chicopee would maintain dispatch centers
unique to the demands and complexities
to large-sized communities.
I do, however, generally believe in
decentralized government at all levels
and that we might possibly augment our
dispatch workforces with properly trained
volunteers and auxiliary members.

ERIC LESSER
A
There are two sides to this issue.
The creation of regional dispatch
centers may help improve the
speed and efficiency of emergency communications, increase staffing for field
operations, and improve financial and
operational oversight, thus creating the
potential to save tax dollars and make
dispatching more efficient. However, they
may also change the way the public uses
and relies on emergency services, and
switching systems can require significant
up-front funding and lengthy planning.
For these reasons, I would support further
studying this issue, especially looking at
the potential for cost-saving and improving response times, and leave the ultimate
decision to individual cities and towns
who know their emergency service needs
the best.
Q
Should first responders be trained
in the administration of Narcan
to treat opiate drug overdose?
DEBRA BORONSKI
A
I have discussed this topic with
many first responders. Most feel
they should not be required to
administer Narcan. Certainly, we are all
humanists and agree that it is our duty to
help those in need and save a life when
possible. One of the major concerns is
that they (police and fire) are not trained
medical professionals. Our EMTs are best
suited to administer Narcan.
The effect of Narcan on someone who
has just overdosed is extreme. The person
goes from unconscious to wide awake and
stone sober. This is a dangerous situation
and one that must be handled with proper
knowledge and training.
If we are to mandate that all first responders use Narcan, then the state must
pay to train our officers and firefighters
so that they are fully prepared for the response. We must also understand the impact this will have on local departments
and ultimately cities and towns. When we
send two officers away to be trained, there
is a cost. There is a cost for the training,
and there is a cost to pay overtime to cover
the two officers who are in training.
We cannot continue to command
regulations without adequately funding
them.
MICHAEL FRANCO
A
First responders, as they well
know, have a duty to medically assist, triage and stage hurt people
to more advanced medical facilities. So if
there is a means to help people in тАЬopiate
drug overdoseтАЭ crisis, then a first responder must act. However, in the making of our
public policy as a legislature we should
not interfere, or we must avoid intervention in a macro sense, that may ultimately
give troubled souls a false sense of security, and, therefore, might cause mid-tolong term harm within the first responder
system and to its target population.
We want to make sure that drug users
and abusers seek prevention methods so
that they do not take unreasonable health
risks that could place them in imminent
harm and/or possible great peril.
ERIC LESSER
A
Yes. I was the first state Senate candidate in our district to formally
recommend that Narcan be made
more widely accessible to police officers,
school nurses and other first responders.
Narcan, which costs only $20 per dose,
is highly effective and has already saved
thousands of lives. The Quincy Police Department, for example, has administered
Narcan at a 95 percent success rate. Due

тАЬOftentimes when serving warrants,

Since 2012, Ludlow police have
responded to three high risk situations
involving suspects who have fired or
threaten to fire a weapon.
тАЬWe are asking officers to rely on
regular patrol equipment even if it isnтАЩt
regular patrol,тАЭ Brennan said.
Funds are needed to purchase special
protective vests.
тАЬWe have a vest we wear on patrol,
but for the Special Response Team the

said Brennan.
A single vest can cost upwards of
$2,000.
тАЬThatтАЩs just the vest тАУ there are also
helmets and other parts of the uniform,тАЭ
Brennan said.
In addition to protective equipment,
funds are used for training. To become
a member of the SRT, officers must
complete 40 hours of training. After
that, SRT officers train on a monthly
basis for skills maintenance, Brennan
said.
While most training is conducted
in-house, funds are needed for training
off-site and for certified instructors.
тАЬTraining includes everything from
Close Quarter Battle (CQB), operating
in smaller, confined spaces, operating
as a team and marksmanship,тАЭ Brennan
said.

largely to this success, Governor PatrickтАЩs
Narcan distribution program has made
this life-saving drug available in 15 cities,
including Worcester and Springfield, and
has reversed over 2,000 overdoses across
the state.
Of course, we must also pair increased access to Narcan with effective
opiate addiction prevention measures.
Narcan is also only one part of a much
broader effort to combat drug use. In
April I published an op-ed in MassLive
recommending four steps to combat the
opiate epidemic. In addition to expanding first responder access to Narcan, these
steps include increasing the share of state
money sent to Western Massachusetts for
drug treatment programs, cracking down
on the abuse of prescription pain medicines, and investing in treatments that can
reduce withdrawal symptoms and make it
easier for people to get off the drug.
Q
Would you favor funding to convert all-volunteer fire departments into full-time fully staffed
departments?
DEBRA BORONSKI
A
If it is necessary to make the community safe, then yes. However,
every community is different, and
itтАЩs important to consider citizen safety as
well as community budgets. East LongmeadowтАЩs Fire Department is a great
example of a town that is balancing this
well. They have seven full-time firefighters during the day and have two additional
officers, one assigned to schools for education and one for inspections. Both can
be available in an emergency. There are
also 35 on-call firefighters. This blended
model has served the community well and
has helped to keep call response time short
while also being fiscally responsible.
When a tone goes out for a fire, every surrounding community responds.
For example, when Springfield has a fire,
East Longmeadow will stand by to provide assistance. I believe that fostering
this community partnership is critical to
keeping everyone safe. I would like to see
additional funding go towards deepening
this commitment to our neighboring communities as well as ensuring that our first
responders have the tools they need to
perform their jobs safely.
MICHAEL FRANCO
A
No. I would not necessarily be in
favor of funding to convert allvolunteer fire departments to fulltime, fully staffed departments. I would
query the towns to see what they would
want, keeping in mind that I believe government works best when the lowest level
of government in the cities and towns
maintain local control. They also deserve
local control in accordance with the nature of our state and federal constitutions.
ERIC LESSER
A
Where public safety demands it,
I will work to convert over to full
time fire departments. I will also
work to improve resources and support
for volunteer firefighters. Volunteer firefighters conduct themselves with a high
degree of professionalism and are invaluable public servants. Volunteer firefighting is also a valuable community function
and improves neighborhood ties. However, on-call and volunteer fire departments
still face significant challenges recruiting
members, and those who do volunteer
normally must incur the costs of their application and even their own training.
Federal, state and community grants
can help fire departments obtain valuable
equipment, but I will also work to find
new ways to fund expansions in fire department staffing in a way that is fiscally
responsible.
Drug, from Page 1
because it decreases the amount of drugs
that are improperly disposed of in water
supplies, which endangers humans and
wildlife.
All collected prescription drugs will
be turned over to members of the Drug

repaired.
тАЬDHCD has some obligation here,тАЭ he
said. тАЬPutting that type of capital expenditure on the town would be a strain.тАЭ
The Ludlow Housing Authority owns
the building, but the Exit 7 Players have
a 99-year lease with the town, which
was initiated in 1984. The lease agreement stipulates that the theater group is
responsible for repairs inside the building, Marceau said.
тАЬWhy isnтАЩt it the Housing AuthorityтАЩs
responsibility to fix this,тАЭ Selectman
William E. Rooney asked.
тАЬIt may be,тАЭ Marceau replied, тАЬbut
theyтАЩre claiming lack of funds.тАЭ
тАЬThereтАЩs never been a clear understanding (of whoтАЩs responsible),тАЭ Town
Administrator Ellie Villano said, adding
that the roof is simply leaking and not in
danger of collapse.
Selectman Carmina Fernandes questioned who carries the insurance policy
on the building, noting that special and
annual town meetings are also held in the
theater. Villano said the townтАЩs insurance
covers inside the building and the Senior
Center.
Saunders said a determination of
responsibility needs to be made based on
the lease language.
тАЬIf itтАЩs us тАУ and by us I mean the town
тАУ we have to fix the roof,тАЭ Rooney added.
With the Exit 7 Players slated to present тАЬYoung FrankensteinтАЭ from Oct.
17-Nov. 2, Rooney asked Marceau if he
needed a temporary stop-gap measure
before the production.
Marceau said the groupтАЩs existing
remediation efforts should hold throughout the fall, but he said he is unsure if the
roof can survive another harsh winter.
The 55-gallon collection barrels needed
to be emptied daily last winter, he said.
The board will ask town counsel to
review the lease agreement between
the town and the Exit 7 Players before
inviting representatives from the theater
group, the Ludlow Housing Authority
and DHCD to come in and discuss the
roof repairs.
тАЬYouтАЩre caught right in the middle,тАЭ
Rooney told Marceau. тАЬYouтАЩre a tenant.тАЭ
