Metcalfe said the victim and family members reported the sex abuse to Ludlow police last month. Metcalfe launched a month-long investigation, interviewing the victim and witnesses, and, “after receiving full disclosure of the crime against the victim,” Metcalfe said she was able to obtain an arrest warrant Wednesday, Oct. 8. When police went to Santaniello’s residence at 305 East St., a room above Anthony the former Copper Shield Santaniello bar, they found his room padlocked. “He hadn’t been staying at that address for approximately three weeks,” said Metcalfe, adding that Santaniello’s residence is listed as 305 East St., on the Sex Offender Registry. “We checked again Thursday,” said Metcalfe, who added that she knew of two other places Santaniello might be. “He usually would only be at his Hubbard Library to host presentation on Ludlow’s �lost railroad’ Exceptions will be made only when the family provides a death certificate and must be pre-paid.

The festivities consisted of grub prepared by the PTO, a booty of books at the Scholastic Book Fair, and a math voyage carefully crafted by Chapin Street staff. After families gobbled their grub, they made their way to the sea of books and gadgets awaiting them in the next room. Noelle Gionne, an eight-year-old lass, of Ludlow, said, “My favorite books are Junie B. Jones. She gets into the principal’s office!” Seventh-graders Dillan Craven and Jake Vautrain raided the book fair as well. “I’m more of a fantasy type, non-fiction, Roald Dahl is one of my favorites. He wrote �The Witches’ and �The Big Friendly Giant,’” said Vautrain. Teacher Alyssa Moriarty praised her coworker, art teacher Jane Abts, for creating an impressive pirate ship docked outside the front office. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Moriarty. “The kids got really excited.” Moriarty also recognized the efforts of the Parent Teacher Organization. “The PTO has provided Smart Boards through the money made at the book fair,” she said. Before setting sail on their math voyage, little pirates were handed a treasure map and a deck of playing cards. “The kids are going into different rooms, and they’re going to be playing different card games that will increase their math skills,” explained second grade teacher Jody Yarkey. The Jolly Roger greeted students in every wing of the school, as they led their land lubber parents to each classroom on their treasure map. Teachers decked out in pirate garb greeted and engaged them in fun, mindstretching games like “Addition War,” “Odd and Even Race,” “Tens Go Fish,” “Mind Reading” and “Subtraction War.” When asked his favorite stop on the treasure map, second-grader John McClintock said, in his best pirate voice, “Arrrggghh, probably room ten, odds and evens!” His best buddy, Derek Rhotes, also in second grade, joked, “Arrrggghh, me too! But he always beats me in math!” After each game was completed, students received a stamp on their treasure map. If students completed all of the tasks, they would return to the book fair room to place their maps into one of many prize baskets. Math Night at Chapin Street school was a blimey good time had by parents, teacher, and pirates! Math teacher Krystal Foley deals cards to Brady Procon, 7, her son, Cameron Foley, 11, and Brady’s dad, Jeremy Procon, for a game of “Addition War.” Turley Publications staff photos by CAROLINE FUNCHION (L-R) Ludlow residents Ella Robak, 8, Amanda Riley, 8, Adam Riley, 5, and Alex Robak, 13, practice their pirating skills at the Scholastic Book Fair held during Math Night at Chapin Street School on Thursday, Oct. 9.

A school that is considered a perennial power and a contender to not only win the Western Massachusetts title, but the state championship year in and year out, would not be allowed to partake in what has become an annual tradition or rite of passage in this town. Now there is a group of parents in town that is calling for the resignation of Ludlow High School Athletics Director Tim Brillo and Ludlow High School Principal Lisa Nemeth over this matter. Both have already accepted responsibility, as it seems an oversight in the checks and balances in this issue led to an ineligible player playing for just over the first half of the season for the team. Should anyone in the Ludlow High School administration lose their job over this? The simple answer is no. We are all human beings and as human beings none of us are perfect. We all make mistakes at work from time to time, and we learn from these mistakes and move on. Just because said people have a higher profile job, and their mistake gets reported in the newspaper, does not mean that they should not be given the chance to learn from their mistakes. “We have about 300 student-athletes at Ludlow High School, and there is a team of people who makes sure that each of our student-athletes are eligible before the start of each season,” Principal Nemeth said. “There are a lot of checks and balances that we follow, and our system failed in this case. We all missed it, and we’re very disappointed about it. We’re definitely going to be taking the whole process a little bit slower in the future. We self-reported our mistake to the MIAA (Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association) and we’ll be appealing it.” The Lions still have one last hope in order to make the postseason under a new rule that was approved by the MIAA this past summer. Because the reason the team would not make the postseason is based on something that took place off the soccer pitch and not on the field, the school is being allowed to make an appeal to an MIAA subcommittee that is scheduled to be heard towards the end of next week. It is the hope of this newspaper that the voting members of the MIAA subcommittee recognize that the players on the team should not be punished for the mistake that occurred at the administrative level. All of the boys on the current squad have done nothing wrong, but, unfortunately, they are the ones who may end up receiving the biggest punishment of all. The support from across the Western Massachusetts community has been nothing short of astonishing. Following the announcement, on Twitter “#LetLudlowplay” began to trend across the region. Other schools want the Ludlow boys soccer team to play in the Western Massachusetts Tournament and get the chance to defeat them to win the Western Massachusetts championship. Here’s hoping that the other schools across the region will get that opportunity when postseason play begins in just a couple of weeks. To borrow a quote from the Bad News Bears movie franchise: “Let them play. Let them play.” – Sports Editor Dave Forbes Turley Publications Letters to the Editor Register Policies �REGULATING THE CONDUCT OF CITIZENS’ On Oct. 6, 2014, Town Meeting overwhelmingly approved Article 15, an amendment to Ch. IV of the Ludlow By-laws. The headline to this letter is the actual existing section it falls under, Ch. IV that is. This draconian change in our By-laws brings the warmth of Nazi Germany a little closer. Anyone who has it in for their neighbor can now bring a complaint to the fire chief, police chief, health inspector or building inspector. Their opinion puts the target property in jeopardy of non-compliance as a nuisance or bad maintenance. On the surface many town employees thinking of the worst examples they see in their respective line of work welcomed this “ordinance.” Wait, what! Ludlow doesn't have ordinances. Yet, the 1st part of the warrant clearly identifies, under purpose, the term ordinance. This one issue alone, as pointed out to me by another Town Meeting member, shows the lack of thought about Ludlow the drafters put into this “amendment.” One resident spoke passionately about dog waste across from her new home and the dumping on this vacant lot. Well the owner of the lot is not putting it there, her neighbors are. So the lot owner is now responsible to maintain the lot – or else. It even states, if a window is broken, you have 30 days to replace – or else. No boarded windows accepted. Town buildings excluded of course. Good thing, the library has had a boarded window all summer. If you are a sitting official in Ludlow, you can ignore Planning Board rules, and no one will say anything, will they, well actually I just did. This new law will be a haven for retribution and abuse. There has to be a better way. Carlton Leonard, Precinct 3 member Ludlow Annual Relics game remembers Josh Despite the weather, Saturday’s 2nd annual softball game between the Ludlow Police Department and the over fifty Western Mass Relics benefitting our son and brother, Sgt. Josh Desforges Scholarship Fund, proved to be a tremendous success. The exciting event raised $750.00 in a very short period of time. Donations were made, raffle tickets were purchased, hot dogs were eaten, and everyone appeared to have a great time, regardless of the cool weather. We would like to thank Bill and Linda Koss for organizing this great event; the Ludlow Police Department for donating all the food and their participation in the game; the Western Mass Relics for their participation in the game; the field prep crew; the refreshment stand crew; the umpires and all the generous merchants for promoting the event and donating such awesome raffle prizes. We would also like to thank our Mom, Anne Martin, and Uncle and Aunt, Charles and Rose Laramee for their help in getting the word out and organizing and collecting donations for the raffle. The game ended in a 31-8 win for the Relics bringing the series to a tie. Next year ought to be interesting! Thank you for your continued support and Always Remembering!

TURLEY Publisher Guest Column KEITH TURLEY Executive Vice President DOUGLAS L. TURLEY Vice President of Publications A Heavenly High Five By Joan E. B. Coombs Have you ever struggled to rise above challenges or to push to heights beyond your reach? What happened if after all your veinpopping efforts, others surpassed those obstacles with vim, vigor and a seemingly singlebound leap? Once back on level ground, could there be an encounter that results in a pinnacle moment? Could there be something so significant that it surpasses any goal? Some years ago, on New England’s Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire, one of the most frequently climbed mountains in the world, a large, well-organized group of church youth from five states gathered with adult leaders. On this annual 3, 165 foot-high climbing event during the peak foliage season, they met to conquer steep, rough-rock scaling challenges. Those adults skeptical of scaling slippery, rocky heights, stayed on duty near the base of the mountain providing blankets, snacks, water and beverages and any first-aid supplies needed in a relaxing, beautyfilled setting for any adults or youngsters who couldn’t find the trails or keep up with rigors of climbing the trails. The day’s brilliant sunrays portrayed spectacular landscapes in every direction. Clear skies kept the winds as cooling breezes that sponged sweating brows of summit climbers. Amid the autumn bursts of peak foliage, 100mile views over villages, towns, church steeples, farms, lakes and winding roads stretched through all six New England states, inviting those with normal eyesight to use binoculars. Each trail has unique curves, cliffs and crests. The White Arrow Trail, the easiest to assent and descend is about two miles long.

RIBBON from Page 1 said the unofficial kick-off to Red Ribbon Week was a successful drug take-back event held at Town Hall on Sept. 27. “We collected well over 140 pounds of prescription drug medication,” he said. Those drugs were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for controlled incineration. CARES Coalition member Maxine Mazur said students at Ludlow High School have been busy making posters that will be distributed to the elementary schools and the middle school, town departments and area businesses on Oct. 19. “We’re looking for our local businesses to display them in a prominent place,” she said. CARES volunteers will participate in an open house at the Ludlow Safety Complex on Oct. 19, from 1-4 p.m. The Coalition is excited to welcome Herren back to Ludlow for the launch of Project Purple, which was conceived to break the stigma of addiction, bring awareness to the dangers of substance abuse and shed light on effective treatment practices. Herren, who played for the Boston Celtics before drug addiction derailed his career, will speak to seventh- and eighthgraders at the middle school on Monday, Oct. 27, in a closed-door discussion (not open to the public). A native of Fall River, he has been drug- and alcohol-free since 2008. The Project Purple concept was developed after Herren spoke at a local high school in 2011 and the front row of students were wearing purple shirts. After Herren shared his story, one of the individuals raised her hand and stood up to speak: “Thank you Mr. Herren for validating what we do. We are the sober students of this high school, and each year we take a pledge to not use drugs or alcohol.” He was captured by the courage it took to stand up and share the symbolism of the purple shirts. Also on Oct. 27, the Coalition will hold its third annual Fall Forum at the high school from 7-8:30 p.m. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Robert Roose, MD, chief medical officer of addiction services for the Sisters of Providence Health System. Board-certified in HIGH FIVE from Page 8 at least four hours. Along the way, many leaders saw high school youth and college-age students scramble or skip by with nary a huff-puff, or so it seemed. Unexpectedly, in the midst of that panoramic autumn, aurora-leaf display, an unforgettable scene happened that Saturday for one, tall, super strong, but novice mountain climber. “You’re back with your crew. How was it?” “Gorgeous day. Great views. �Some slick spots on rough rocks.” “Tired?” “Yup. Sore. Stretched every muscle!” he said sighing, as he relaxed on the blanket with his hands behind his head, “But, everyone had a great time.” “How was the view?” “Well, MORE than I expected.” “Could you see Boston?” Sitting back up, he shook his head, trying to disguise a sheepish grin. Turley Publications file photo (L-R) Ludlow Polish American Citizens Club (PACC) Bingo Committee Chairman Lenny Robbins and President John Diotalevi are presented with an American flag, a POW/MIA flag and a State flag by Ludlow Director of Veterans Services Eric Segundo in October 2013. Segundo presented the flags to the PACC to thank them for the support shown to the Ludlow VFW Post 3236 and the Ron Stephenson Memorial Fund, which provides financial assistance to Ludlow veterans and family members in need. Family and Addiction Medicine, he was named the 2012 Addiction Medicine Physician of the Year by the New York State Department of Health. A representative from the Ludlow Police Department and Superintendent of Schools Todd H. Gazda are also slated to speak. CARES member Cindy Miller said teachers will provide incentives to students who attend the forum with their parents. Results of a risk assessment survey showed that well over 90 percent of Ludlow students are close to their family members, she added. “Students look to their parents for this kind of information and advice,” Miller said. New this year, CARES volunteers will bring Red Ribbon Week to the Senior Center with guest speakers, including Dr. Elinor Kelliher, discussing the dangers of overmedicating and the importance of medication safety on Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 10:30 a.m. Board of Health member Angela Kramer said seniors will be assembling 3,000 red ribbons to be distributed to the schools and throughout the town, so the community can show its support for a drug-free Ludlow. Kramer said DEA and CARES volunteers will be visiting the schools throughout the week to encourage students to take the drug-free pledge. Selectman William E. Rooney, who is a member of the CARES Coalition, said he favors this year’s allencompassing format, which will target the town’s youth as well as its elders. “Red Ribbon Week is a town-wide effort,” he said. “I hope it reflects the values of our town – that we’re all in this together.” Rooney encouraged his fellow selectboard members to participate and show their support. “I hope all board members will be involved in some activities during Red Ribbon Week,” he said. Selectman Carmina Fernandes praised the CARES Coalition’s dedication and commitment. “I’m certain with all the work you’re doing you’re going to change (at least) one person and turn them away from doing drugs,” she said. Mazur said a donation form will be sent out to area businesses to help offset the costs of Red Ribbon Week. Forms will also be available at Town Hall. Anyone wishing to donate should email the Coalition at [email protected]. “I saw things I NEVER expected…,” he said, and as his voice trailed off, he sported a broadening smile. “So, was it – unbelievable?” “Yup. After over two hours of rock �n’ ridge climbing, we got to the top!” “Yeah, with only a few scrapes!” “Yeah. But, when grabbing the last ridge, you’ll never guess WHO I saw STANDING there.” “W-H-O?” “Five Nuns with long black habits and even some in heeled shoes!” “What? Five Sisters? On top of Mt. Monadnock? Incredible!” “Yup. I don’t know what Order they served in, but all I can say is that whatever it was, it sure was a �Heaven’s High Five.’” “Hallelujah! Can’t think of a better way to uplift a day! And a �Heavenly High Five’ sure tops it off!” Comments welcomed. Email Joan at [email protected]. ZULCH from Page 1 pasta dinner and musical entertainment. While a limited number of tickets will be sold at the door the night of the fundraiser, they may be purchased in advance at Our Town Variety, 259 Fuller St., Ludlow or St. Elizabeth’s Rectory or St. John the Baptist School, Hubbard Street, Ludlow. According to organizer Noreen O’Sullivan, Donald Zulch, a UPS employee, hasn’t worked since March of this year, when he was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. Zulch’s condition worsened to Adult Distress Syndrome, a fatal disease, requiring the double lung transplant in June. Zulch’s wife, Marissa, a visiting nurse, took time off to stay close to her husband in Boston. “She has been working pretty much part-time since June when this all started,” said Sullivan. The couple has six sons, twins John and Joe, 13, Andrew, 17, and older sons, Michael 19, Christopher, 20, and TJ, 22. Although Donald Zulch has been able to come back to Ludlow from time to time, he continues treatment at Mass General Hospital in Boston. Earlier this month, Zulch suffered a setback, an infection. Fearing the infection signified a transplant rejection, it turned out to be a mild case of pneumonia, and Zulch is expected to recover. In addition to a pasta dinner and musical entertainment, the “Just Breathe” fundraiser will include raffles with some fabulous prizes, including a “Flight School” flying lesson, Boston Red Sox tickets, and a two-night hotel stay and admission to Plymouth Plantation, valued at $350. Gift basket prizes include a basket full of lottery scratch tickets. While the goal of the “Just Breathe” fundraiser is to help relieve the Zulch family’s financial burden, it also serves as a reminder to residents about the importance of organ donation, O’Sullivan said. For those who can’t make it to the fundraiser but would like to assist the family, an account called the “Don Zulch Benefit Fund” has been set up at TD Bank in Ludlow for donations.

I came back from my weekend leave and said, �Gee, where is Eddie?’ They said, �Oh, they picked him up for spying.’” Tarby’s 100th birthday wish was to see her younger brother, Ward Robinson, 87, of New Hampshire, and last Saturday, her wish came true, as he was one of the first to wish her a happy birthday. “My mother was a nurse,” Robinson warmly remembered. “I went over the handlebars of my bicycle when I was younger, and I skinned my arm completely. (My mother and Francis) took care of me. She was destined to be a nurse.” Francis and her late husband, William “Mike” Tarby, met during World War II and tied the knot during one of William’s leaves. Francis’ granddaughter, Tara Dias, of Hampden, who was inspired by her grandmother to become a registered nurse, commented on her grandparents’ marriage. “She loved her husband,” said Dias. “I’ve never seen a marriage like theirs.” Granddaughter Nicole Antaya, of Wilbraham, referred to her grandmother as her “second mother,” as Francis took care of her when her parents were at work. From vacations to trips to the theater, Antaya cherishes those times with her grandmother. “She is one of those people I always pictured as the glue that keeps everyone stuck together. She’s someone that has a huge, strong belief in family which begins at 2 p.m. Last year, the Open House expanded to include the Ludlow Police Department. Ludlow Police Chief Paul Madera, officers, along with members of the command staff, dispatchers and members of the administrative staff will be on site. “People can get a tour of the building with officers, and police dispatchers will be on hand to answer questions,” said Madera. “They will be able to get an understanding of all the different facets of policing in Ludlow and meet the people who provide these services.” Because residents’ tax payments fund the department, Madera said the Open House is a good way for taxpayers to see how their money is being spent. “The community wants to make sure taxes are being used properly,” said Madera. “This is a good way to see (tax dollars) at work.” Also on the Police Department side, vehicles will be on display, and children and adults will have the opportunity to meet members of the department’s Special Response Team (SRT), who will be promoting their upcoming “Run for the Law 5K,” set for Sunday, Oct. being first,” said Antaya, who noted how much she admired her grandmother’s, “Old fashioned politeness, cherishing the moments you have, her �I can do it myself attitude,’ and her willingness to always help others.” Francis and her late husband, William, were faithful members of Saint Barnabas and All Saints Church in Springfield. Daughter Patricia Chester, of Springfield noted, “She’s like the matriarch there. She and my father came to Springfield around 1978.” “The minute my husband and I moved here, we went right there to that church, and I’ve been there ever since,” Tarby proudly added. In addition to her love of the Lord, Tarby also enjoys reading, playing solitaire and working on crossword puzzles. She has many joys, but above all is her family. “I love my family. I’m so blessed to have wonderful family,” she said. “I thank the good Lord every day for that.” When asked her secret to living 100 years, Tarby answered, “I don’t have a secret. Just live and love people, and keep the good Lord in your mind.” 26. Proceeds from the run will help to raise funds to purchase protective equipment for the members of the SRT. Other highlights include a demonstration by the department’s K9 Unit with K9 Officer Michael Whitney and his partner, Rocky; tours of the department’s Dispatch Center; a meet and greet with School Resource Officer Thomas Lee, along with information about the department’s Patrol Division, Special Police Program, and the Detective Bureau. Also on site will be members of the Ludlow CARES Coalition and the Michael J. Dias Foundation. In addition, free popcorn and balloons will be available, and games, including the “Fire Prevention Jeopardy Game” will be part of the afternoon fun.

In celebration, her daughter and son-in-law Hedy and Andrew Tenzar, daughter and son-in-law Dorothy “Dot” and Walter Czepiel, son Julian, his wife Mary, Popko’s grandchildren and great grandchildren will be throwing her a birthday party. Reaching 104 years old did not go unnoticed by Springfield officials. On Wednesday, Oct. 1, Popko was presented with a City of Springfield Proclamation, a Springfield City Council Citation and a “Purple Cane,” all presented by Springfield City Councilor Orlando Ramos (Ward 8). A recognition plaque was presented to Popko by Indian Orchard Citizens Council (IOCC) President Linda Yarber and IOCC Treasurer Patricia Voisine. The City of Springfield Proclamation, signed by Mayor Dominic Sarno, recognizes and celebrates Popko as she turns 104 by proclaiming October 15, 2014, as “Margaret Popko Day.” The Proclamation also congratulates her for being the first Purple Cane recipient residing in Indian Orchard. The Springfield City Council Citation recognized and congratulated Popko as well. “I presented the Proclamation, the Citation and the Purple Cane to Margaret,” said Ramos. “When I presented the cane to her, she playfully started hitting me with the cane, which caused everyone to laugh. It was great to be a part of a new Indian Orchard tradition. This tradition is very fitting because this community is rich in history and tradition.” Jonathan Bozbeckian, a 25-year IOCC member and owner of Indian Orchard’s Nixon Company, donated two recognition plaques, and both displayed Popko’s name. One plaque was presented to Popko, and the other, which allows space for names of future Purple Cane recipients, will be kept by the IOCC. Yarber and Voisine presented Popko with the plaque, but they both agreed that Popko’s attention was clearly on the cane. “She was waving the cane during the whole ceremony,” Voisine said. “It was an honor to be a part of this,” Voisine continued. “She looked so pretty, all dressed up in pink. When she passes, the family will return the cane to us and then it will be presented to the oldest resident. I hope that won't happen for a long time. We wish Margaret health and happiness as she celebrates her 104th birthday year.” Voisine said she made a motion to present a “Gold Cane” to the oldest resident in Indian Orchard at an IOCC meeting held a few months ago. The motion passed. Ramos, who was present at the meeting, offered to assist Voisine in her search with identifying the oldest resident, to purchase and donate the cane and to participate in the presentation. “To my knowledge, the oldest Indian Orchard resident had never been recognized,” said Voisine. “I know that many communities have presented a Gold Cane to their oldest resident, so I thought �why shouldn’t we?’ I am glad the motion passed.” Although Voisine and Ramos quickly identified Popko as the oldest resident, they encountered an obstacle – Indian Orchard is considered a suburb of Springfield, and Springfield already recognizes its oldest resident with a Gold Cane. “We decided to change the Gold Cane to a Purple Cane. That solved the problem,” said Voisine. “It is actually better that it is purple in color as that is the official color for Indian Orchard. Our name, �Indian Orchard,’ came about from the Plum Orchards that our resident Indian tribe utilized long ago.” We’re giving people something to talk about! “Turley newspaper have been instrumental in helping me brand my image within my local community.

Thank you for being a great paper for our community.” Popko’s son, Julian, said his family members were honored to have their mother recognized by so many. He added that he was very surprised when the IOCC contacted him and requested permission to present his mother with the Purple Cane, the recognition plaque and the citations. According to Julian Popko, his mother, his late father John and his siblings immigrated to Indian Orchard from Poland in 1949. They were assisted by his mother’s sister Mary Welcz and her husband Michael, both Indian Orchard residents, with settling in to the neighborhood. His mother, a seamstress, and his father, a blacksmith, soon opened their own business – Popko Dry Cleaning, located on Acton Street. In addition to offering dry cleaning to local residents, his mother also offered her seamstress services and his father offered shoe-making services. Popko is a benefactor of Cathedral High School and has been an active Immaculate Conception parishioner since moving to Indian Orchard. “At the conclusion of the ceremony, when everyone had left, she was not sure what the Purple Cane was all about,” said Julian Popko. “She kept saying, �Are they telling me that I need a cane? Are they saying that I have to use it when I go to church every Sunday?’ Now she just pats the cane and says �Yeah, Yeah.’ We are very grateful and thankful to everyone for their kindness.” “We were honored to recognize our oldest resident. I would like to extend my gratitude to Pat, Orlando and Jonathan for the role they played in creating a new tradition for Indian Orchard,” said Yarber. “I would also like to thank the Popko family for allowing us the opportunity to honor Margaret and for gifting us several framed photographs taken during our presentation. We will hang them with pride in our headquarters.” Rag Shag Parade steps off Oct. 24 LUDLOW – The Ludlow Community Center/Randall Boys and Girls Club will hold its annual Rag Shag Parade & Halloween Festival on Friday, Oct. 24.

We all missed it, and we’re very disappointed about it. We’re definitely going to be taking the whole process a little bit slower in the future. We self-reported our mistake to the MIAA (Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association), and we’ll be appealing it.” According to MIAA spokesperson Paul Wetzel, the MIAA approved a new rule this past summer, which allows an ineligible team to appeal in order to qualify for the postseason tournament. The appeal, which will not change the Lions forfeited matches, will be heard by a subcommittee of the Board of Directors. The Lions had a 1-11-1 overall record following their 1-1 tie against rival Amherst High School, last Friday night. “It has been a very tough last 48 hours for everyone on the team, but I think our players are still focused,” said Ludlow head coach Greg Kolodziey during an interview before the start of the Smith Division road match. “We’ve held a few team meetings during the past couple of days, and we explained the situation to the players. We’re trying to maintain our goals from the beginning of the season. Hopefully, this is just a bump in the road, and we can find a little light at the end of the tunnel.” Another way that an athletic team can qualify for the postseason tournament besides finishing the regular season with a .500 or better record is by finishing in first or second place in the league standings. While the Lions, who had a 0-4 league record following the forfeits, couldn’t finish in first place, they did have a chance to finish in second place if they would’ve won their final four league game, and Amherst (10-0-3, 3-0-2) had lost all of their remaining league games. Those hopes came to an end following the tie last Friday night. The Lions only chance of making the postseason tournament now is by winning the appeal. “As the director of athletics the failure was under my watch, and the responsibility falls on my shoulders,” Brillo said. “Our athletes work hard for the opportunity to play in the tournament and I feel awful that a human error may cost them that spot. As a school we understood that reporting this violation would create anger and frustration, but we knew it was the right thing to do. The main focus now is the MIAA appeal process and the possibility of our student-athletes hav- 'SRZMRGIH#2IMXLIVEVI[I6YRHSR´X[EPOXSXEPOXS]SYVXVYI ing the opportunity to finish their season on the field in the Western Mass. Tournament.” Having the Ludlow boys soccer team not taking part in the postseason tournament is similar to the New England Patriots not playing in the NFL playoffs. “Other teams always want to play us in the postseason tournament,” said Nemeth, who was one of the many Lions supports who attended last Friday’s match against Amherst “They just want to play the best boys soccer team in Western Mass. We’ve proven during the past 50 years that our boys team is one of the best soccer teams in Western Mass.” Ludlow seniors Mike Goncalves, Nick Dos Santos, and Tyler Diolalevi gave their thoughts about the situation that took place last week. “This is very unfair for everyone,” said Goncalves, who returned to action against Amherst after missing several weeks with an injury. “Ludlow is known for soccer, and something like this stains it. Hopefully, they do give us some sympathy because it’ll be heartbreaking if we don’t make the tournament this year.” “It’s a very difficult situation,” said Dos Santos, who scored the game-winning goal on a free kick in the final seconds of the Agawam game. “It’s an honor to be a member of this soccer team because of its rich tradition. We’ve lost in the Western Mass. finals the last two years, and we were hoping to win the title this year. It wasn’t a mistake made by a member of our team, so I really think that we still belong in the tournament this year.” “We’ve been playing soccer together our whole lives, and we certainly don’t want to see it end this way,” said Diolalevi, who has been the Lions starting goalkeeper during the past couple of years. “We’re a hardworking team, and it wouldn’t be fair if we don’t get to play in the Western Mass. tournament this year. We would also like to thank everyone for their support. ” The other seniors listed on the Lions varsity boys soccer roster are Jordan Ferris, Dan Jalowski, Sam Fernandes, Bruno Machado, Halit Bayrak, Gabe Pereira, David Goncalves, Nick Cordeiro, Connor Doherty, Luis Gomes, Brad Garete, and Zach Frangules. “All of the seniors are very emotional right now because they’ve been a part of this program for the past couple of years,” Kolodziey said. “We have five regular season games remaining, and those could be the final games of their high school careers. I’m hoping that they do get another chance to play in the postseason tournament.” Tim Peterson is a sports correspondent for Turley publications.

Division 1 Tournament for the first time since the 2003 season. The Lady Lions have used it as motivation this season. The Lady Lions punched their ticket into this year ’s postseason tournament following an exciting 2-1 home victory against the Northampton Blue Devils, last Monday night, Oct. 6. “We’ve worked very hard to put ourselves in this position and it’s a very nice feeling to clinch a postseason berth,” said Ludlow senior forward Kailah Papuga, who scored a goal and had an assist in the non-league match against Northampton. “We weren’t very lucky last year, but we’re going to come back and prove something to everyone this year.” The Lady Lions, who missed making the tournament by a single point last year, improved their 2014 season record to 8-1-3 following last Monday’s home match. Ludlow has won six of their eight matches by one goal. “Qualifying for the postseason tournament is something that we’ve wanted to do since the first day of preseason practice,” said Ludlow head coach By Tim Peterson Turley Publications Sports Correspondent Turley Publications photos by David Henry sweetdogphotos.com Ludlow’s Filipa Martins (15) heads the ball away.

The other seniors listed on the Lady Lions varsity roster besides Papuga are Olivia Santos, Molly Palatino, Meghan McCarthy, Alyssa Szymczyk, Emily McGourty, Jessica Holley and Kelsey Jordan. “I can’t say enough good things about my senior class,” Marino said. “All of them are great leaders and all of them have stepped up this year.” McCarthy, who’s the starting goalkeeper, Szymczyk, who’s a midfielder, and Please see BID, Page 17 AMHERST - The last five regular season boys soccer matches played between Smith Division rivals Ludlow and Amherst have ended in ties. Seven day after playing a scoreless tie, the second meeting of the regular season between the two rivals ended in a 1-1 draw before a large crowd in a hard fought battle under the bright lights at Amherst High School last Friday night. “Another draw with Amherst,” said Ludlow head coach Greg Kolodziey following the match. “We knew that it was going to be a circus type of an atmosphere here tonight and I thought we responded very well. It was a very good futbol game between very good teams on a Friday night.” Both matches between the two squads last season ended 22 and 1-1 ties.

This week they beat Chicopee Comp one of two finalists in the tournament a year ago. In comeback fashion, they beat them 32. It was the second time they beat them by that score this year and like the first, the Lions had to rally from behind. Unlike the first time, though Ludlow won the first set with relative ease, but then dropped the next two to put themselves into a must win situation. In the fourth set, they caught the Colts and then held them at arms length throughout the tiebreaker. In the opener, Ludlow scored the first two points and soon after built their advantage to 6-1 on the strength of the inside play Alyssa Guyon, who would be spiking shots from all over the court. As the first set wore on, the Lions gradually built their lead to 19-10 and then 22-11 with Breauna Allore and Olivia Barbeau figuring into a lot of the points. The Colts then made a late run to close he gap, getting as close as 24-19 on the serves of Alicia Lacosse, but they could no come all the way back and Ludlow had a 1-0 lead after a 25-19 win. The Lady Lions again got the early lead in the second set, going up 4-1 after a Guyon kill. Comp came back and scored five of the next six points to take a 6-5 lead. Brittani Cundiff got them the lead. Back came the Lady Lions and after a Nina Dias kill, they led 9-6. Back and forth it went. Comp went ahead 10-9 on Kacey Legare kill; then it was Ludlow at 1916, the latter lead after an Allore tip. The Colts scored the next four points, taking the lead at 20-19 on an Alyssa Stefanelli kill and they would not trail again, though Dias' tip tied it. Four straight points made it set point and Comp evened the match with a 25-21 win. The Colts took charge in the third at the outset. Destinie Montano had two aces and the Colts led 4-0.

Page 16 • The Register • October 15, 2014 Sports Exciting finishes for Ludlow Youth Football AGAWAM - Football fans needn’t have traveled any farther than Kirk Parker Field in Agawam on Sunday to experience the same brand of thrills, chills, and heartpounding excitement normally reserved for that place just a few miles down the road. In dramatic fashion, Ludlow Football walked away from their Week 7 match-up versus the Agawam Warriors with two wins, one loss, and their eyes fully locked in on the SAFL playoff prize. Try as they may, the Pee-Wee team just couldn’t catch a break, losing 20-0 in the day’s first contest. What these young Lion cubs lack in terms of wins, they make up for with constant improvement and Lion pride. There is definitely no shame in their game. Brady DeBarge and Ryan Kennedy led a hard working offense that continued to move the ball well, while defensively, players such as Aiden Carmona, Keith Melanson, Jr., and Aiden Hervieux stepped up and played well. Jadon Gibbs and Roniel Traveras also had a good game for the Lions defense. Sometimes in football, it takes one big play to make a difference. Ludlow Juniors Chris Fogg and Jake Manewich made that play in the Lions 28-22 win. With under 30 seconds remaining in a tie game, Fogg, the Lions’ quarterback, hit Manewich with a perfectly placed pass. A determined Manewich showed his impressive running skills by juking his way into the end zone to secure the Lions’ win. Up to that point it had been a roller coaster ride with each team trading scores. Jamonte Beckett ran for two touchdowns and Manewich ran for another. Led by Wyatt Chambers, the Lions’ defense continued its solid play. Makia GizaBilodeau, Cam LaPatin, Collin Doyle and Fogg all had big plays against an Agawam offense that refused to quit. In contrast to the Junior game, it took many players to make big plays at the right time for the Seniors to secure their spot in the play-offs with a huge 32-20 victory. This game was another touchdown-trading thrill ride up until the final 5:00. After Agawam took a 14-12 TIE grass field than it was last week when we played them over at Lusitano Stadium,” Kolodziey said. “It was more of a slugfest tonight.” During the 16th minute of the opening half, Ludlow senior goalkeeper Tyler Diotalevi (10 saves) made an outstanding diving save on a free kick by Amherst senior forward Tan Robson from about 25 yards out. A little more than 5:00 later, Diotalevi made a key save following another free kick by Robson. Diotalevi received plenty of support from the defensive unit led by sophomore Nick McKay, sophomore Josh Grywalski, sophomore Dominick Albano, and senior Gabe Pereira. The Lions best scoring chance in the opening 40:00 came in the 31st minute on a rebound shot by senior forward Zach Frangules, but it was saved by Amherst junior goalkeeper George Holt (three saves). The Lions did take a 1-0 lead less than 10:00 into the second half. Junior midfielder Evan Jurkowski began the scoring play by beating his defender and sending a crossing pass from the right side to Mike Goncalves near the far post. Then Goncalves celebrated with his teammates after firing a shot into the back of the net. “That’s a classic textbook practice play,” Kolodziey said. “Evan can beat people down the side, and Mike is always there to get a toe on it. The Hurricanes gained the momentum soon after the Lions had taken the lead. The game-tying goal was scored by Amherst senior forward Alex LaRaja during the final 14:00 of the match. The members of both teams are hoping to face each other for the third time this season in the postseason tournament. from Page 15 win the first meeting of that season by the final score of 2-1, which was also played in Amherst. “They’re a very physical team and their the type of a team that we match up best against,” senior Ludlow forward Mike Goncalves. “Both teams have good goal scorers, a good defense, and good goalkeepers. That’s why we have all these ties against them during the past couple of years.” Most of the Ludlow players and coaches didn’t sleep very much the night before last Friday’s match after finding out the previous day that they would be forced forfeit seven of their eight victories and both of their ties because they had used an ineligible player in those matches. The school has filed an appeal with the MIAA. The Lions, who had an overall record 8-2-2 before the forfeits entered this week’s action with a 1-11-1 mark. They’re only hope of qualifying for the Western Mass. Division 1 Tournament now is by winning the appeal. The MIAA approved a new rule this past summer, which gives an ineligible high school athletic team the opportunity to make an appeal in order to qualify for the postseason tournament. Even if Ludlow wins the appeal, their current season record won’t change. One of the bright spots for the Lions was the return of Mike Goncalves to the starting lineup against the Hurricanes. He had been sidelined for several weeks with an injury. “It feels good to be back on the field again,” Goncalves said. “I did miss being out there during the past couple of weeks. It was very exciting playing under the lights again.” The first half of last Friday’s contest was like a chess match, as both teams felt each other out. “It was a little different type of a game tonight on a Tim Peterson is a sports correspondent for Turley Publications.

Dylan Beddow showed why little guys are fun to watch run as he brought the ball inside the Agawam 10 yard line. Garcia then ran in his second of three scores on the day to put the Lions ahead 18-14. Greg Ricardi recovered a perfectly executed on-side kick by Mike Hastings to give Ludlow the ball back and Garcia iced the cake with another TD run. Defensively the Lions played another strong game.

With the win, the Hawks improve to 6-2-2 (2-0-1 MAAC), while the Jaspers fall to 1-6-1 (0-2-0 MAAC).

McCarthy, who’s a two-year starter, had posted four consecutive shutout victories prior to the match against Northampton (5-6-1). She only had to make three saves against the Blue Devils. “The goalkeeper is the anchor of your team,” Marino said. “Meghan is a very strong player for us and she’s been doing a great job. She was field player during her sophomore year.” The members of the Lady Lions defensive unit are sophomore Andrea Jozefczyk, junior Morgan Foye, sophomore Taylor Masse and Jordan. “Our defense has been jelling as a group,” Marino said. “They’ve been working very hard and they’ve been playing very well as a unit.” Sophomore Nissa Pereira is another key defender, but she’s missed several games with an injury. The only goal of the first half was scored by the Lady Lions during the 17th minute. The scoring play began with a crossing pass from Santos to Papuga, who fired a shot into the back of net between Northampton freshman goalkeeper Sydney White (seven saves) and the right post for her fourth goal of the season. “It was a perfect cross by Olivia and a perfect shot by Kailah,” Marino said. “We’re been working on those type of plays a lot in practice.” Sophomore forward Julianna Iwasinski and junior midfielder Jennifer Hackett had also scored four goals entering this week’s action. Ludlow kept the 1-0 lead until the 62nd minute when Northampton senior Lily Glading-Dilorenzo scored an unassisted goal, which tied the score. Marino and the Ludlow faithful fans thought that Glading-Dilorenzo pushed a Lady Lions player down before scoring the tying goal. Marino argued the call and she received a yellow card from referee Vincent Grassetti, which fired RALLY from Page 15 Legare kill got the ball back to Comp with the lead. Lacosse then served six points, starting with two aces. The lead was 13-6. The Lions slowly chipped away and got it down to a point at 20-19 on an unforced error, but a Molly Willette kill got the Colts back to two. When the Colts scored the next four to set point, it looked though they had this one, but Ludlow would have none of that. Meghan Martowski served two aces in a run of five points that tied the set at 24-24. Chicopee Comp got it back together with a Legare kill and a Montano ace for a 26-24 win and a 2-1 lead in the match.

Ludlow held on for a 25-18 win and the match was headed to a tiebreaker. A Legare tip and a Guyon had the score at 1-1. Guyon got the lead with a tip, but a net serve tied it again. A Dias tip was followed by a long serve for a 33 score and a Kayla Murphy tip was followed by a return out of bounds to leave it at 4-4. One more time the teams traded points to make it 5-5. Then Ludlow started to take charge. A long return gave them a 6-5 lead and a net return of Bingham's serve got them their first lead of more than a point.

One of those ties was a scoreless draw against the Ironbound Soul (2-1-2) in the second match of the regular season. “We knew that this was going to be another tough game because they’re a very good team,” said Western Mass. head coach Federico Molinari “I thought we played very well during the first half and we’re happy to get the three points. We want to continue to play the same way in our final three games.” Unlike the first meeting of the season between the two squads, Western Mass. managed to take a 1-0 lead in the fifth minute of the opening half. Viera began the scoring play by sending a crossing pass to midfielder Will Daniels inside the box from the right side. Daniels then sent the ball over to midfielder Mike Matera, who blasted a wide open shot into the left corner past goalkeeper Ralston Robinson (seven saves). While Matera is listed as a midfielder, he was all over the field against Ironbound Soul. The only position that Matera didn’t play was goalkeeper. “Mike is a type of soccer player who can always go up and down the field,” Molinari said. “He’s had some scoring opportunities in other games, but he couldn’t put them away. He always works very hard at practice and in games.” Ironbound Soul scored the equalizer on a penalty kick during the 20th minute after a Western Mass. player was called for handling. Forward Christiano Francois lined the PK into the back of the net past Western Mass. goalkeeper Warren Gross (seven saves). It was only the third goal given up this season by Gross, who always receives plenty of support from his defensive unit led by James Goff, Pat Turley Publications photo by David Henry sweetdogphotos.com Frank D’Agostino (21) steps into a kick with his right foot. Boucher, and Trey Jasenski. Late in the opening half, Matera sent a crossing pass from the right side over to forward Luke Perry, who put the ball into the right corner giving the home team a 2-1 halftime advantage. “It’s always nice to finish the first half by being a goal ahead,” Molinari said. “The players have a lot more confidence at the start of the second half. We continued to play hard because they’re a very good team.” Both teams only had a couple of scoring chances in the second half, but Western Mass. walked away with another victory. Western Mass. will be playing a road match against the Evergreen Diplomats on Saturday night before playing their final home match of the fall season against Icon FC on Oct. 25.
