Residents greet Santa
with gifts
Campaign to benefit
�Toys for Tots’
By Christi Mills
Register Correspondent
LUDLOW – Children and grownups alike didn’t have to wait until
Christmas to get a visit from Santa –
they welcomed him and his helpers
with open arms and new, unwrapped
gifts during the fifth annual “Toys
for Tots Christmas Parade” held
Sunday, Dec. 14.
With Mother Nature gracing
everyone with a beautiful, sunny
day, an estimated crowd of 500-plus
came out to donate new, unwrapped
Christmas gifts to be donated to the
U.S. Marine Corps “Toys for Tots”
campaign. Parade organizer Keith
Ouellette said he was very pleased
to see such a great turn out.

Survival Center needs �sides’
for Christmas dinners
By Paula Killough
[email protected]
INDIAN ORCHARD – The
turkey may be the star of the
show when it comes to
Christmas dinner, but among
the supporting cast of succulent side dishes are the real
holiday favorites, and these are
currently in short supply at the
Community Survival Center.
According to Community
Survival Center Executive
Director Jackie Madden, the
center’s Holiday Food Program
is well-stocked with turkeys,
thanks to what Madden
referred to as a Survival Center
“go to group” that posted a
monetary request for the purchase of turkeys via Facebook.
“That raised over $5,000 for
us,” said Madden.
Along with an adequate
supply of turkeys, the Survival
Center also has a good supply
of fresh potatoes and carrots,
Madden said.
“Those aren’t needed right
now,” said Madden.
What’s missing is the fixings, which include boxed
stuffing mix, cranberry sauce,
canned yams, canned gravy,
pickles, olives and desserts,
including canned pie fillings
and pie crust mix.
Madden said that special
“Santa” treats for children this
time of year, like Christmas
candy and/or candy canes, are
also most welcome.
Also needed is canned
meats and high protein foods
for the center ’s Emergency
Food Program, including stews
and soups, corned beef hash,
Spam, peanut butter and tuna
fish, which are currently in
short supply.

seized
By Paula Killough
[email protected]
LUDLOW – A drug raid
coordinated between multiple
law enforcement agencies
resulted in numerous arrests,
along with the seizure of large
quantities of heroin, cocaine
and marijuana in Ludlow and
Indian Orchard.
According to Ludlow Police
Det. Sgt. Louis Tulik, on
Tuesday, Dec. 9, two suspects
were arrested in Ludlow in
connection with a raid at a
house in Indian Orchard the
same evening.
Undercover officers stopped
a vehicle on Whitney Street in
Ludlow driven by Karla
Ferreira, 29, of 136 Howard
St., Ludlow. A search of the
vehicle uncovered 2,000 bags
of heroin “packed in a way that
would be deemed as trafficking,” said Tulik.
Ferreira was arrested and
charged with trafficking heroin
(two counts), possession of a
Class A substance and possession of a shotgun during the
commission of a felony.
“She was also charged with
simple possession of a Class A
substance (heroin) because a
small amount of heroin was

Selectmen approve
single tax rate
Tax rate for 2015
is $17.29
By Rich Wirth
Register Correspondent
LUDLOW – The Board of
Selectmen on Tuesday, Dec. 9,
closed a tax classification hearing continued from Dec. 2 and
voted 3-0 to maintain a single
tax rate for Fiscal Year 2015.
Selectman Aaron Saunders
was named chairman pro tem in
the absence of Selectmen
Chairman Manny Silva.
Selectman Carmina Fernandes
was also absent from the Dec. 9
meeting.
The tax classification hearing was continued, in part,
because the Department of
Revenue had yet to certify values as of the Dec. 2 meeting.
Assistant Assessor Joseph C.
Alves said the town received a
pre-certification on Wednesday,
Dec. 3, and a formal certification on Monday.
Selectmen also asked to have
mitigation funds due the town
through a community agreement ratified with MGM
Springfield last December factored in as new revenue in an
effort to lower the tax rate. The
agreement will pay Ludlow
$50,000 upfront and a minimum of $100,000 annually
based on a third-party impact
analysis.
With those mitigation dollars
factored in, the Board of
Assessors proposed a tax rate of
$17.29 per $1,000 of valuation,
an increase of 7 cents from last

From book loaning to book writing
By Paula Killough
[email protected]
LUDLOW – As the youth services assistant at
Hubbard Memorial Library, Joan Robb has been entertained by kids and educated about what they want to
read. Now, after eight years at the library, Robb is retiring to write.
Robb is no stranger to book-writing. In 2012, her first
book, “There’s a Princess in My Living Room,” was
published. Robb’s first children’s book tells the

story of Princess Andorra, from Sprance, who has
grown tired of her normal “princess routine.” One
day, she pops out of her storybook and into the living room of a little girl, Anna. Together, Princess
Andorra and Anna spend the day playing outside,
making mud cakes and eating macaroni and cheese.
“By the end, she is a wreck, but she had the best day,”
said Robb of the princess.
The princess returns to her storybook life with mud
and mac and cheese on her face, and Anna gets to keep
Andorra’s royal dress.
“The message to mostly girls is about having princess
qualities without all the accessories – you can still be a

When it comes to writing children’s literature,
Robb said she was “self-taught,” learning her craft via
her experiences as a children’s librarian at Hubbard.
“It’s been a real education for me and what has
enabled me to write,” she said. “I’ve written music and
screenplays, but before I came here, I hadn’t written
any books.”
In addition to devoting more time to writing, Robb
said she made the decision to retire because she’s been
working since she was 14 years old, mainly in the
entertainment industry.

was in a band for 18 years,” she said, adding that

LUDLOW – Great food and good cheer brought
nearly 30 VIPs and their guests to the Ludlow Lions
Club annual “VIP Christmas Party” held on Wednesday,
Dec. 10, at Tony & Penny’s Restaurant.
The event, which began in the early 1980s, was
started by former Ludlow Lions Club President Lou

Members of the Ludlow Lions Club hold their “VIP Christmas Party” on
Wednesday, Dec. 10, at Tony & Penny’s Restaurant. The annual event honors
mentally and physically challenged adults in the area.
in his life, his daughter, Patricia, who was both
physically and mentally challenged. Marceau started the “VIP Christmas Party” to honor his daughter
and other adults with physical and mental challenges.
“There was no place that was graciously accepting
adults with special needs,” said Ludlow Lions Club
Secretary Joyce Riley.
Riley explained that the annual event is special for
many of the VIP guests because there are few similar
celebrations for adults with special needs. Treated to
dinner, holiday music, and gift bags filled with candy,
and practical items, such as calendars and gift cards,
attendees were truly made to feel like the VIPs they
are.
VIP John Bernard has attended the holiday party
numerous times and explained that his favorite part of
the event is seeing familiar faces each year. Many of the
same VIP guests and Ludlow Lions members come to
the event each year and, as a result, they have developed lasting friendships.
“The best part is to be here and have the VIPs come
up to me,” said Ludlow Lions Club President Dennis
Fountain. “Sometimes they’re forgotten, and they
shouldn’t be.”
Fountain, who joined the Lions Club at the
young age of 18, explained that the annual “VIP
Christmas Party” is one reason he chooses to
remain a member of the Lions Club. The event is so
popular that many VIP guests ask about the details
of the party in June.

also treated to a special visit from Santa Claus.
Joe Starzyk, a 30-year member of the Ludlow Lions
Club who serves on the Board of Directors, says the
club works hard to maintain its VIP guest list. In order
to send out invitations, the club tries to keep in contact
with past guests who may change addresses. The Lions
Club encourages mentally and physically challenged
adults from local group homes to attend the event and
also stresses that VIP guests need not be Ludlow residents. The holiday party is open to all local adults with
handicaps.
Donations from several local businesses and proceeds from various Ludlow Lions Club fundraisers
once again made the VIP party possible. According to
President Fountain, the Lions Club always donates 100
percent of its fundraising proceeds back to the community.
The Ludlow Lions Club currently has 24 active
members and is always looking to expand its membership. The club meets every second Wednesday of the
month at Tony & Penny’s Restaurant. Anyone interested in learning more about the Ludlow Lions Club can

Sheriff’s community service program
nets 87,000-plus work hours in FY ’14
LUDLOW – Sheriff Michael J. Ashe, Jr. recently
released Fiscal Year 2014 statistics for the Hampden
County Sheriff ’s Department Inmate Community
Service Restitution Program.
In the program, crews of minimum security offenders in the custody of the Hampden County Sheriff’s
Department do work in the community that would otherwise go undone due to budget shortfalls and limited
resources. They are supervised by community service
officers who work right alongside them.
In Fiscal Year 2014, minimum security offenders
from the Minimum Security/Pre-Release Center, the
Day Reporting Center, the Women’s Correctional
Center and the Correctional Alcohol Center performed
87,031 hours of work, bringing the total number of
hours to 1,184,977 since the Sheriff began the program
in 1993.
A total of 415 offenders participated in the program
in Fiscal 2014, bringing the total number of participants
to 3,900 since the program began. No individuals
absconded from a work crew while out in the commu-
nity during the past year.
“I’m a great believer in what I call �sweat equity,’ by
which I mean offenders building the foundation of their
new future in the community by their own hard work,”
said Ashe. “What better way for someone leaving jail to
bridge their way back into the community than doing
community service. This program is where the rubber
meets the road and the takers become givers. In the
field of criminal justice there is a concept called
�Restorative Justice,’ in which an offender repairs relationships with his victims and with his community. This
restitution program is at the heart of that concept; it is
pro-active Restorative Justice.”
Among the organizations for whom work was done
were Springfield Parks Department and Facilities
Maintenance; Springfield Housing Authority; Holyoke
Department of Public Works; Holyoke Housing
Authority;
Massachusetts
Department
of
Transportation; Springfield Technical Community
College; Ludlow Fire Department; Celebrate Ludlow;
the South End Neighborhood, and Survival Center.

A STUDY HAS SHOWN THAT PEOPLE “LIKE”
COMMUNITY PAPERS FOR THE NEWS THEY
NEED AND THE ADVERTISING THEY RELY ON
It was determined that 43.8% of readers keep their paper for more than 10 days, while 69% thought local newspapers provided
valuable shopping and advertising information. It was also noted that only 2% of
online users said they would rely on social networking sites.
Most importantly, our advertisers don’t get lost in news feeds, they reach people
who are looking to shop, eat out and use local services. There’s a lot to “like” about
our connections.

Saving energy
starts at home
R
esidents may be fretting projected
increases in electricity costs this winter,
and rightly so. Wi t h t h e b a d n e w s o f
higher energy bills, there may be some
good news – there are ways to cut
those costs. That’s right – you may be
able to trim your electricity bill before
it even arrives in your mailbox.
As has been widely reported, National
Grid recently announced that typical residential customers will see an increase in
their electric bills of some $33 versus the
same time last year – and considerably more
than that when compared to current bills –
this winter, presumably due to tight supplies
of natural gas that flow into the region. This
increase was approved by the state
Department of Public Utilities. It is expected that other energy companies will follow
suit.
Area legislators recently announced that
the state’s Executive Office of Energy and
Environmental Affairs (EOEEA) plans to
invest $5.1 million into energy efficiency
and renewable energy programs. These
funds, which have been generated through
Alternative Compliance Payments and
Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative proceeds, will expand on opportunities via
Mass Save and ongoing programs through
the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center
(MassCEC).
An energy audit of your home could help
you cut costs – Mass Save utilizes thermal
images and other tests to establish an energy
performance score. The Home MPG program offers rebates and incentives for
upgrades to insulation, electricity and heating with the assistance of utilities, such as
National Grid, Western Massachusetts
Electric Company and Columbia Gas of
Massachusetts, as well as the U.S.
Department of Energy and the state
Department of Environmental Resources.
These audits and energy efficiency programs can help pay for new energy efficient
light bulbs, boilers and water heaters, which
can produce hundreds or even thousands of
dollars in savings.
Programs and tips currently offered
through the EOEEA include everything
from getting a winter checkup on heating
systems and selecting Energy Star products,
which meet governmental standards for efficiency, to more intense analyses through
Mass Save or the Low Income
Weatherization Assistance Program and the
Heating System Repair and Replacement
Program.
We encourage those who are concerned about their ability to make ends
meet this winter, and in the spring when
many bills will come due, to avail themselves of energy efficiency programs
and
information
available
at
www.mass.gov/EEA/WinterEnergyReso
urces. It is inevitable that energy rates
will continue to fluctuate in the years to
come. The best thing we can do for ourselves is make sure that our homes, and
wallets, are ready for those changes.

A Christmas
Child’s Embrace
By Joan E. B.
Coombs
S
urely the hardware store in a small New
England town would have one. It was a
late Saturday afternoon and our final stop to
find a sensor light for our lawn’s lamppost.
Daylight savings time was wrapping
evenings in midnight-black blankets earlier
each night. Only streetlights and car headlights paved the way for safe traveling.
Our front yard light had blown out making
the lawn and driveway hazardous for anyone
not familiar with its slopes and turns. Making
matters worse, recent gully-gutter storms had
inched away soil abutting our paved driveway.
Daytime footings were fine for the observant; dusk and nighttime steps were hazardous.
As with most families, it was a saturated
Saturday, close to Christmas, with catch-up
lists to do and non-stop errands to run.
“I’ll prop my feet up on the dashboard,
while you try to find that sensor thingy.”
“K. Be back in a few.”
However, when I saw the cheery Christmas
displays lighting up our town storefront window, I used my woman’s prerogative, changed
my mind, and stepped out into the wintry chill
and into the store’s welcoming warmth.
The eye-catching display in the storefront
window was a softly illuminated manger
scene. Under a stable backdrop Joseph stood
aside Mary, as she hovered over The Christ
Child in a manger.
While hubby perused the furthest end of
the store, I strolled along narrow corridors of
shimmering dГ©cor, chiming bells, porcelain
lighted villages, bayberry and apple-cinnamon scented candles and glowing tree ornaments. Bright velour stockings added a soft,
vivid touch to the end of each aisle.
“Quite an elegant display for our neighborhood �nuts �n’ bolts” store,” I mused.
Suddenly hubby appeared flushed and
frustrated.
“They don’t have any. Sold out. Let’s go.
We’ll have to look further – later.”
Taking our disappointment in stride, we
headed toward the exit.
Then – a breathtaking scene.
Just beyond the cash register aisle, a little
girl stood before the manger scene, looking at
the baby Jesus laying in the straw-strewn cradle. Long, golden, natural, highlighted
ringlets flowed beneath her winter hat.
As her father gave the cashier his purchases, she inched closer to the manger scene.
Then ever-so-carefully, she reached up to
the windows-sill-high display, picked up the
infant Christ child, held him, rocked him
close to her, and then gently put him back.
By then, her father had finished purchasing
his items. She met him, snuggled her mittened
hand in his and skipped out the door beside him.
That stop-short-in-my-steps scene transcended
me, by a child’s spontaneous, loving embrace, to
the true, historical meaning of this holy season.
As we walked from that country store, out
into the crisp, wintry air, I looked skyward
through a personal, glistening mist. I was certain that long ago, on a silent, starry night that
Heavenly Hosts were also in awe of a
Christmas child’s embrace.

found in her purse,” said Tulik.
Ferreira’s bail was set at $25,000.
A passenger in the vehicle, Isaias
Santiago, of 19 Waldo St., Holyoke, was
also arrested and charged with trafficking heroin. His bail was set at $25,000.
Tulik said Santiago also had an arrest
warrant issued from Holyoke District
Court.
Tulik said a search warrant had been
issued Dec. 9 for Ferreira’s home at 136
Howard St. During the search, officers
found 50 grams of heroin and a shotgun,
which resulted in additional charges
against Ferreira, including possession of
a firearm without a permit.
Both Ferreira and Santiago were
arraigned in Palmer District Court the
following day, Wednesday, Dec. 10.
According to a written statement
from Acting Hampden County District
Attorney James Orenstein, the same
evening, Dec. 9, officers and agents
from multiple agencies executed search
warrants at 1015 Worcester St.,
Springfield, and 18 Crestview Dr.,
Belchertown.
“As a result of the execution of these
warrants and arrests, members of the
task force seized approximately 2 kilograms of heroin, 3 kilograms of cocaine,
8 pounds of marijuana and prescription
pills,” read the statement from the
District Attorney’s office. “Task force
members also seized three firearms,
approximately $270,000 in cash and four
vehicles.”
As the search warrant was being executed at 1015 Worcester St., “it is alleged
that Daniel Burgos of that address fired a
single round at agents and officers as
they approached. Fortunately, no one
was injured,” the statement reads.
Burgos, of 1015 Worcester St.,
Springfield was arrested and charged
with trafficking heroin, trafficking
cocaine, five counts of armed assault
with intent to murder, five counts of
assault with a dangerous weapon (a
firearm), possession of a firearm during
the commission of a felony, discharging
a firearm within 500 feet of a building,
and conspiracy to violate the narcotic
drug laws. Bail was set at $250,000, but
was revoked on a pre-existing open
firearms case.
“It is alleged that Burgos was found
to be in possession of one kilogram of
heroin, a half-kilogram of cocaine, 70
pills and one pound of marijuana and a
firearm,” according to the District
Attorney’s office.
Also arrested at the Worcester Street
residence was Michael Singleton, of 550
West 144th St., New York, N.Y. He has
been charged with trafficking heroin and
trafficking cocaine. Bail was set at

“At the time of
his arrest, Singleton
was in possession of
approximately 2 1/2
kilograms of cocaine
and 850 grams of
heroin,” according
to the District Karla Ferreira
Attorney’s office.
Also arrested was Raymond Cordero,
of 21 Madison St., Chicopee. He has
been charged with trafficking heroin and
trafficking cocaine. His bail was set at
$100,000.
Fausto Mejia-Reyes, 120 White St.,
Springfield, was arrested on Route 291
and is charged with trafficking heroin.
Bail was set at $100,000.
Pablo Jose De Luna Lopez, 120
White St., Springfield, was also arrested
on Route 291 with Mejia-Reyes and is
charged with trafficking heroin. His bail
was set at $100,000.
Yessenia Lopez, of 74 Jefferson Ave.,
Springfield, was arrested at 1015
Worcester St., Springfield, and was
charged with possession of a Class A
substance with intent to distribute. Bail
was set at $10,000.
The above suspects were arraigned in
Springfield District Court on Wednesday,
Dec. 10.
According to Tulik, based on an
investigation involving the same law
enforcement agencies that coordinated
the drug raids on Dec. 9, a search warrant was executed by Ludlow police and
the DEA in Springfield on Thursday,
Dec. 11, at 147 Ridgeview Circle,
Ludlow.
“At 4:55 p.m., the Ludlow Special
Response Team led entry into home
based on information we received that
there was a significant marijuana growing operation,” said Tulik.
A search of the home uncovered a
“grow room” in the basement, which
contained 24 large marijuana plants, 92
seedlings, and materials associated with
the cultivation of marijuana, including
lighting, filters, an irrigation system and
ventilation, said Tulik.
All the items were seized, along with
unsecured firearms, Tulik said.
The homeowner, John J. Kania, Sr.,
54, was not home at the time of the
search. Tulik said a warrant will be
sought for Kania, who has been charged
with one count of distribution and cultivation of a Class D substance (marijuana) and three counts of improper storage of a firearm.
Assisting in the search were members
of the Monson K9 Unit.
Tulik described what was found at the
Ridgeview Circle home as a “very
sophisticated grow operation.”
In addition to Ludlow police and the

DEA Springfield
office, the Hampden
County Drug Task
Force, the FBI of
Western Mass, the
Gang Task Force and
the
Springfield
Police Department
Isaias Santiago Narcotics Unit, with
assistance from Mass
State Police, the Homeland Security
Department and the Hampden County
Sheriff’s Department, were involved in
the coordinated raids and subsequent
arrests, according to the District
Attorney’s office.
“These arrests and seizure of the
sizeable amount of drugs, weapons
and drug proceeds in the form of cash
and motor vehicles were a result of
the cooperation of the aforementioned agencies working in conjunction with one another and a prosecut o r f r o m t h e D i s t r i c t A t t o r n e y ’s
Office,” read Orenstein’s statement.
“The arrests culminated after an
investigation of many weeks and utilization of various investigative
techniques. The cooperation and
hard work of the men and women
assigned to these agencies resulted
in seizure of illegal drugs worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on the
s t r e e t . I f b r o k e n d o w n i n t o street
level packages, the heroin alone may
have produced 100,000 individual bags
of poison.
“I am extremely appreciative of the
hard, dangerous work done by these
agents in making these important
arrests and seizing these dangerous
drugs that are poisoning people in
H a m p d e n C o u n t y, ” c o n t i n u e s t h e
statement from Orenstein. “I commend them for their diligence and
their expertise in executing their
duties. The people of our community
s h o u l d k n o w t h a t t h e e n e rg i e s o f
these task forces will continue to
focus on the worst offenders in our

“We are going to continue this aggressive crackdown on drugs in Ludlow,”
added Tulik. “The assistance of the DEA
and other agencies will continue.”

TAX RATE
from Page 1
year but 3 cents less than the preliminary rate of $17.32
proposed on Dec. 2. Under the current classification
rate of 100 percent, the average single-family tax bill
will increase by $39 from $3,646 to $3,685. The average single-family home in Ludlow is now valued at
$213,100, an increase of $2,500 from FY ’14.
FY ’15 was a triennial recertification year, and the
values are based on sales between Jan. 1, 2012, and
Dec. 31, 2013. Values increased as a result of the
revaluation by roughly 2 percent for residential and
5 percent for commercial/industrial properties. The
total valuation of the town increased by 4.3 percent.
Before voting to maintain a single tax rate,
Selectman Brian Mannix said he’d like to see a cost
analysis of how shifting more of the property tax burden from the residential to the CIP (commercial/industrial/personal) classes would impact small businesses.
He said Springfield and Agawam have benefitted from
adopting a split tax rate. Longmeadow selectmen followed suit last week, voting 3-2 to shift the tax burden
by 10 percent onto commercial and industrial taxpayers.
Alves said any attempt to shift the tax burden away
from residential taxpayers in Ludlow would result in
significant increases to the CIP taxes since these classes
comprise only 20.5 percent of the total value of the
town.
“You’d need 40 percent or more to really be safe,”
he said. “Our demographics aren’t there.
Saunders said a shift of 5 percent would result in a
$1,000 tax increase for the average business owner and
a savings of $90 for the average homeowner.”
Although he supports maintaining a single tax rate,
Selectman William E. Rooney said he agreed with
Mannix’s call for a cost analysis of the impact of shifting the tax burden.
“Let’s take a look at some numbers,” Rooney said.
He asked Alves, through the Board of Assessors, to
investigate the impact on three “real life” businesses
with five, 25 and 50 employees, respectively.
The selectboard voted to adopt a minimum residential factor of 1, retaining a single tax rate for all residential, commercial, industrial and personal property
classes. Following the assessors’ recommendations, the
board voted against adopting the residential and small
business exemptions that were also part of the tax hearing. Although well-intentioned, Saunders said the latter
would harm some of the small businesses it was intended to help.

tar in the band “Caribbean for Kids.” “And when
we did adult shows, we were called �The
Panhandlers.”
Robb also ran theater companies, one in Stanley
Park in Westfield and the other in Northampton, where
she lives.
“And I was in the music industry in Manhattan,”
Robb said. “I managed some bands, and I was in music
publishing for a while, and ASCAP (The American
Society for Composers, Authors and Publishers) – that
was another life.
“Most of my work was in the world of entertainment,” Robb continued. “As a children’s librarian, I’m
still in entertainment. Children and teens and their
whole world is very entertaining.”
In addition to having more time to write, Robb said
she is looking forward to traveling when she retires.
“And spending time with my son in Los Angeles,”
she said, adding that her son, Aaron Fradkin, is also
in the entertainment industry – he’s a filmmaker.
Robb will also continue environmental work with
Kestrel Land Trust, a land conservation organization
that works on projects throughout the Pioneer Valley.
When asked what she will miss most about working at
Hubbard Library, Robb said, “First and foremost, the people
I work with who in a way are like a second family, and the
patrons, the kids and parents – that’s what makes it fun.”
And she will miss her connection with July
Londyn Alina Braz
Siebecker, the Children/Youth Services librarian at
Hubbard.
“We have this humor thing,” said Robb. “We just
have this ridiculous banter that’s all in fun.”
Siebecker said Robb “will be extremely missed.”
“Joan has been an absolute blessing for this library
and for me personally. It’s rare to find someone you
click with professionally as well as we have. The creativity, the sense of humor and spontaneity and compassion she has brought to her work here is not going to
be easily replaced,” Siebecker continued. “I don’t
blame her for wanting to retire. Her creativity is amazing. She’s going on to write more books, and I am
excited to carry her books in this library.”
Robb said she’s witnessed many changes in the eight
years she has been at Hubbard, including advances in
technology and changes in policy and patronage.
“A lot of it has to do with the economy, not just
changes in the library itself, but in usage,” Robb said.
“When the economy was bad, people didn’t have the
money to go on vacation and do extracurricular things.”
Robb said that even when the economy improves,
there has been a slight drop in library patronage, but
overall it remains stable.
“The staff and patrons are a supportive, close knit
community,” she said.
And kids still love books.
“I’m so happy to see kids are still taking out books,
from the very young to teens,” she said. “Despite all the
technology, they’re still taking out books.”

PARADE
from Page 1
He thanked the members of the Rotary Club of
Ludlow for once again hosting the event, especially
Parade Chair Gloria Faria. Rotarians greeted parade-goers
at every stop, offering them hot chocolate and munchkins,
donated by the Salema family of Ludlow’s Dunkin’
Donuts. They also handed out candy canes to the children in attendance.
“This is our best year yet. We were so pleased to see
so many take time out today to participate in the parade.
We had a great turnout, not just here at Town Hall, but at
every stop along the route,” said Ouellette. “It was a
pleasure to guide Santa and his helpers through the
town.”
Ouellette and Santa were joined by Mrs. Claus –
Ouellette’s wife, Diane, and their two daughters, Kelsey,
8, and Mikayla, 11, Robin “Elf” Wdowiak, School
Committee member James “Chip” Harrington and Jenelle
“Elf” Desforges. Santa’s carriage was guided through the
streets of Ludlow by Ouellette’s magnificent Belgian
draft horses Pepper, 15, and Mark, 8.
As a part of the parade contingent, Ludlow resident
Jay Chenier, joined by Patty Almeida and Riley
Harrington, 16, drove the family’s restored 1933 Dodge
Brothers Fire Truck. Back in the day, the fire truck was
one of several utilized by the Ludlow Fire Department.
Harrington said he was pleased to see so many participate in the parade, and he commended Ouellette for coming up with the idea of giving the town a holiday event.
“This is an awesome event,” Harrington said. “We are
grateful to the Select Board and the DPW for their show
of support. We are also thankful to the Ludlow Rotary for
hosting the event and the Ludlow High School Chorus
and their Director Dan Henry for their excellent performance. Of course, we are also grateful to the Police

his helper, Cassie “Elf” Greaney, secured all the
Christmas gifts for transport to their headquarters. Snow
estimated the donations at more than 2,500 new,
unwrapped gifts.
This is the 41st year Snow has led the Toys for Tots
campaign. He said each year he plans to retire, but
events such as Ludlow’s Toys for Tots Christmas
Parade prevent him from following through.
“I love coming to Ludlow every year for this
parade. Ludlow is a very patriotic town, and its residents certainly know how to host a successful toy
drive,” said Snow. “We are very grateful to everyone for their show of support to those less fortunate. It means so much to those who receive the
gifts.”
“ We a r e v e r y g r a t e f u l t o ( D u n k i n ’ D o n u t s
owner) John Salema for his generosity,” said
Ludlow Rotarian President-Elect/Secretary Darlene
Rae. “We would like to thank the Ludlow Fire
Department for donating the Christmas tree and to
everyone else who assisted in some way.”
Members of the Ludlow High School Chorus
along with Choral Director Dan Henry entertained
the crowd gathered at Town Hall with Christmas carols. Ludlow Girl Scout Troop 11139 Co-Leader
Kristen Havens, her troop members and members
from Ludlow Girl Scout troops 11317 and 30413 also
sang Christmas carols to those gathered at East Street
School.
Once all the toys were secured, everyone gathered
at the front steps of Town Hall to watch Santa light
the Christmas tree. Santa wished everyone a Merry
Christmas, as he lit the tree.
“We want to thank everyone who lent a helping

Parade’ such a success,” said Ouellette.
“Ludlow has a big heart. We look forward to
next year, so be sure to mark your calendars for
our sixth annual parade, to take place on Sunday,
Dec. 13, 2015.”
Anyone who missed the parade but would like to
donate a gift is encouraged to visit the Toys for
Tots website at www.westernmass.toysfortots.org
to find a drop off location. Snow will pick up the

Guyon on fire in Lions losses
By Gregory A. Scibelli
Turley Publications
Correspondent
LUDLOW – The Ludlow
High School girls basketball
team were upended in their second game of the season, losing
to Holyoke 43-34 at home.
Callie Cavanaugh had a
great game for the Knights,
making a game-high 24-points
and 11 rebounds.
But Alyssa Guyon was not
far off for Ludlow, as she
scored 21 points and helped
Ludlow stay in the game.
Unfortunately, Guyon did
not get a lot of help from the
rest of the Lions, which were
silenced by the Knights’
defense.
Kierra McCarthy had four
points and Emily McGourty
added three.
The Lions opened the regular season with a home loss
against Longmeadow.
The Lions were sporadic on
offense as they had a difficult
time staying hot. The teams
stayed close early in the first
quarter, but Longmeadow had
keep brief lead at the end of the
first.
Trailing by three, Ludlow
played much better in the second quarter, closing to within
two points, 24-22 at halftime.
But Lancers were not fin-
ished, and came out and scored
huge in the second half,
outscoring the Lions 34-19 to
capture the 58-41 win in the
season opener for both teams
last Friday night.
Longmeadow had the depth
going for them as eight different players scored points in the
game. Taylor Shubrick led scorers with 13 points. Three other
Lancers would score in doubledigits.
Guyon was again the breadwinner for the Lions, as she carried the offense with 27 points
in the opening game of the season. She nailed eight field
goals, a three-pointer, and eight
free throws.
McCarthy helped out with
seven points.
Ludlow has had some struggles out of the gate early in the
regular season, but Guyon has
emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the first two games
of the regular season. She has a
combined 51 points in just two
games so far this season. If she
is able to continue this trend,
she could score 500 points this
season.
Ludlow will be looking to
grab their first win coming up
on Friday night when they host
Sabisat 7 p.m. The Lions will
then enjoy the holiday off and
be back in action on Dec. 30
against Taconic High School.

Academy girls soccer players
Tori Bernardo, Alex Baltazar
and Molly Socha have a lot in
common: they’re all seniors,
they played for the Titans for
four seasons, they’re all from
Ludlow, and they will all play
soccer in college.
And, lastly, they all received
multiple awards following the
team’s memorable 2014 season.
Tori, Alex and Molly were
all honored at the Academy’s
Fall Varsity Sports Awards
Ceremony Nov. 11, with Tori
and Alex sharing the team’s
MVP Award, and Molly earning
the Coaches Award. They were
also all selected to the AllLeague First Team.
WMA (14-3-2) won the
Women’s Western New
England Prep School Soccer
Association Class B title during
the regular season. In the New
England playoffs, the Titans
beat Lawrence Academy and
Governor’s Academy before
falling to the Groton School in
the Class B final.
Tori, the quick and hardworking vocal leader of the
team, shared the MVP honor
for the second season in a row.
“It means a lot what the girls
and the coaches think of me,”
said Tori, a center back. “It’s
nice to know all the effort I put
into the game is recognized and
the girls feel I’m such a crucial
part to the team. What’s so
great about this team is they
recognize there isn’t just one
Most Valuable Player, and I
don’t think anyone is more
deserving to get the MVP
Award than Alex Baltazar.”
“As our co-MVP and as one
of our co-captains, Tori clearly
demonstrated her value to our
team this fall,” Coach Don
Nicholson ’79 said. “Her commitment, work ethic, athleticism and ability to inspire her
teammates were evident each
and every day in practices and
games. Tori was the leader of a
defense, which recorded six
shutouts and was a critical part
of our success in winning our
division and getting to the New
England finals.”
Alex enjoyed another great
season on the front line for
WMA, proving to be one of the
most dangerous players in New
England with 21 goals and 14
assists in 19 games.
“This is one of the best seasons we’ve had since I’ve been
at WMA,” said Alex, who has
verbally
committed
to
Connecticut College. “We came

LUDLOW – Following their
participation in the Red Raider
Invitational at Athol High
School, the Ludlow High
School wrestling team was
scheduled to get their regular
season going with a meet
against Longmeadow High
School last night at home.
The Lions will then be off
from dual meets until Jan. 7
when they take on Smith
Vocational High School.
The Lions are looking to
improve upon a difficult season
that left them with a sub-.500
dual meet records. The Lions
did not have much to show for
their team in the tournament
either, placing 10th with 76
points.
Ludlow’s best finisher was
Andrew Sartan. He was a second place finisher at 113
pounds, finishing behind
Brennen Liebel of Agawam.
Sartan has graduated now and
Luke Lafever is one candidate
to spend some matches at 113
pounds.
Another starter this season is
Dominic Coehlo. He wrestled at
120 pounds last season. He
came up with a sixth place finish at Western Mass. last year.
Coehlo is a sophomore and is
currently listed at 120 pounds.
He could move up to fill in at
126 pounds during the season,
too.

Falcons lose to Admirals
NORFOLK, VA. – The Springfield Falcons split a
weekend series with the Norfolk Admirals, falling to
the Ads, 4-3 last Saturday night at the Scope Arena.
The loss moves the Falcons to 18-9-1-0 on the season and 3-1-0-0 in the four-game season series against
the Admirals. The Admirals advance to 11-16-0-0 on
the season.
Falcons goaltender Scott Munroe was back in the
net for the first time since Nov. 14 when he kicked off
the Falcons' record-setting 11 consecutive victories.
Munroe turned away 24 of 28 shots, while Admirals
goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov stopped 22 of 25 in victory.
Springfield was unable to convert on four power play
opportunities. The penalty kill unit stopped four of five
Norfolk man-advantages.
After a scoreless first period, the Falcons took a two
goal lead, but the Admirals were able to rally back and
end the frame leading, 3-2. Just 2:23 into the period,
Trent Vogelhuber put Springfield on the board. The
Falcons broke up an Admirals' play at center ice and
sent the puck into the Admirals' zone, where it was
picked up by Vogelhuber. He fired a shot from the top
of the right wing circle on a two-on-one and beat
Bryzgalov. Thomas Larkin and Brett Ponich picked up
points for the assist.
With Jaime Sifers in the box for cross-checking,
Vogelhuber netted his second of the game less than two
minutes later. Josh Anderson poke-checked the puck off
a Norfolk stick and took control of the puck. He started
a two-on-one play with Vogelhuber. Anderson put a
shot on goal that was stopped by Bryzgalov, but
Vogelhuber grabbed the rebound and put the Falcons
up, 2-0.
The Admirals started a three goal rally to round out
the second period up, 3-2. At the 8:33 mark, Antoine
Laganiere ripped a shot from the high slot off a pass
from Joseph Cramarossa to cut the Falcons lead in half.
Mat Clark earned credit for the secondary assist.
Twenty-two seconds later, Emerson Etem evened
the score with Domenic Monardo serving a double minor for high-sticking. Etem let off a shot
from the left wing circle that hit the post, ricocheted off Munroe and across the goal line. Max
Friberg and Nic Kerdiles were credited with the
assists.
Just after the halfway mark of the second frame, the
Admirals took the lead. Cramarossa picked up his
fourth goal of the season with the help of Laganiere and
Dave Steckel.
The Admirals extended their lead in the third period
before getting a response from the Falcons. William
Karlsson won the face-off and sent the puck to the slot,
where Etem one-timed his second goal of the game at
the 16:40 mark.
Anderson notched his first professional goal with
eight seconds remaining in the contest. Alexander
Wennberg won the face-off and put the puck on the
stick of Corey Cowick. A pass out to Anderson set him
up to start a Falcons comeback, but the team ran out of
time and fell to the Admirals, 4-3.
The Springfield Falcons will travel to face the
Binghamton Senators on Dec. 19 at 7:05 p.m.

St. John the Baptist students have
sweet spot for children in need
By Caroline Funchion
Register Correspondent
LUDLOW – St. John the Baptist students understand
the theme of Christmas, the season of giving, and they
took time out of their busy holiday schedules to raise
money for local foster children by making sweet treats
to sell at the school’s annual bake sale.
“It’s nice to give back to the community through
service and to help others in need,” said Principal
Shelly Rose, “We have so much that we can share with
others. We try to convince the kids to give up a gift, so
they can give a gift to someone that does not have
much.”
St. John the Baptist School has chosen to support
foster children through the Center for Human
Development (CHD), which, according to its website,
“provides a broad range of high quality, communityoriented human services dedicated to promoting,
enhancing and protecting the dignity and welfare of
people in need.” All proceeds from the bake sale will go
to purchase gifts for foster children.
“The bake sale is going on so foster kids can have a good
Christmas,” said fourth-grader Leana Vale, “and if I was a
foster child, I would want presents like everyone else.”
“Foster kids might feel left out,” added Julia Dennis,
“and we can raise money through this bake sale, so they
can feel special at Christmas, too.”
Students and parents gathered together Saturday
afternoon Dec. 6, to make all sorts of chocolate covered
treats, toffee and fudge. The smells coming from the
school cafeteria were scrumptious and a preview of
what would fill the bake sale table later in the week.
The candy making extravaganza was led by Deborah
Naglieri-Prescod.
“I was a foster child growing up, and at Christmas
time, we didn’t get any presents,” she said. “When I
was an adult and went to work, I met a co-worker that
was involved in a charity that helped foster kids, and I
have been involved with Mary Anne’s Kids (a special
fund administered by The Center for Human
Development) for the last thirteen years.”
Children and parents, dressed in aprons, were all
very cheery, as they worked tirelessly on their candy
confections. Siblings, Leanna Vale, 9, and her sister,
Alita, 11, worked alongside each other creating a very
familiar Christmas misfit.
“We are making Rudolph,” said Alita. “First we take
the Oreo and dip it into the chocolate, and then we use
chocolate chips for the eyes.”
Siblings Leanna Vale, 9, and her sister, Alita, 11,
work alongside each other as they bedazzle their
candy confections at St. John the Baptist School
on Saturday, Dec. 6, as part of a fundraiser to help
local foster children.
Chocolate covered pretzels, Rudolph the Red
Nosed reindeer decorated Oreos, and so much
more, fill the tables in St. John the Baptist’s School
cafeteria.
From Rudolph the Reindeer Oreos to pretzels decorated with sprinkles and nonpareils, Naglieri-Prescod
guided her candy apprentices in the art of chocolate
covered everything. A lesson in fudge and toffee making took place inside the kitchen. Helpers Jocelyn
Imbody, 9 of Ludlow, and Luke Morin, 11, also of
Ludlow, added a mound of brown sugar left in the
shape of the measuring cup. Smiles broke out on their
faces, as they began to mush down the tower of sugar
into the creamy butter.
“I come here all the time to help the foster kids,”
shared Morin, “We just made marshmallow fudge with
marshmallow, chocolate chips, a lot of them, a quarter
cup of sugar and butter.”
Morin enjoys the art of cooking and baking and has

tried many exotic foods, including escargot, which, he
reports, he liked. As he worked hard that afternoon to
help those in need, he did mention his own Christmas
wish.
“I want a flat screen TV,” Morin exclaimed. “I figure
if Santa can fit a big sack down the chimney, why not a
flat screen TV?”
Once all the candy was hardened, it was ready for
packaging. Volunteers remained until every piece of
candy was packed away and ready for the bake sale in
the coming week.
“We package them up really pretty,” noted NaglieriPrescod, “I have the best elves in the world.”
The bake sale was held at St. John the Baptist
School on Wednesday, Dec. 10, and Thursday, Dec. 11,
and, in addition to the chocolates prepared and packaged, parents also contributed cookies, cupcakes and
other sweet treats. Students were allowed to visit the
bake sale both days and could buy baked goods for as
little as a quarter.
With the help of students, teachers, and parents, the
bake sale sold out, promising hope for the foster children’s Christmas wishes.
The bake sale at St. John the Baptist School held Wednesday, Dec. 10,
and Thursday, Dec. 11, was successfully sold out, and all proceeds from
the fundraiser will go to purchase gifts for local foster children this
Christmas season.

Region
I had a dream
This dream was so powerful and inspirational that I
felt compelled to share it with you. I believe this was
one of the reasons I received it. Please read it and pass
it on.
I was sitting in a classroom alone. In front of me was a
ladder pointed upwards surrounded by a golden glow.
A voice spoke saying, “life is a series of events, like
steps on this ladder.” Our job is to recognize this and
to benefit from each lesson. If we learn something from
our experiences such as patience, love, forgiveness,
sympathy, empathy, etc., we take a step up the ladder. If we do not learn anything, refuse to help, forgive
someone who has wronged us, forgive ourselves, pass
up on opportunity to grow, we remain on that step.
Sometimes we can spend years there due to foolish
pride.
These situations are put in our paths purposely, so
do not judge yourself harshly if your performance is
less than admirable. Learn from your mistakes with the
intentions of doing better next time, forgiving those
who have wronged you, and seeking forgiveness for
your faults.
Next the ladder separated with the rungs floating
between the two side bars. This was to symbolize all
your experiences and knowledge gained, separated
into fragments. The ladder in this state is a useless
tool. Knowledge compiled as one unit, never forgotten
and always referred to, is an invaluable tool.
Finally we are one. As Jesus said, “That which you do
for the least of my brothers you do for me.” Therefore
do for your fellow man so that we may climb the ladder
together. On a personal note praise the Lord, read and
spread his word, and you will have the tools to a happier more fulfilling life.
Sincerely,
Remembering Christmas
during World War II
SPRINGFIELD – Ranger Susan
Ashman will present Christmas at the
Springfield Armory once again. The program is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 20,
beginning at 1:30 p.m., in the museum
theater and continues in the Commanding
Officer’s house on the grounds of the
National Historic Site. Admission is free.
During this program, beginning in the
Museum Theater, historic images reveal
how workers at the Armory kept their
morale up during the Christmas season
while loved ones fought overseas.
Following the presentation, a Ranger-led
tour of the Commanding Officer’s house
with light refreshments and recorded period
music allow us to perhaps begin to understand how World War II influenced the type
of music produced for the Christmas season.
Armory Historian Richard Colton
commented that during World War II
Springfield Armory celebrated Christmas
with time-off from Christmas Eve
through Christmas Day. Office and shop
parties were held at the Armory and in
downtown hotels. But with wartime, the
somber grim realities of the cost of total
war steadily showed itself as critical
materials and personnel were increasingly needed to fight the Axis powers. Soon,
even Christmas trees were stripped of
their aluminum tinsel and glass, replaced
with homemade substitutes. Before long,
popular Christmas music also changed to
reflect separation and longing of loved
ones as in “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”
and “White Christmas.”
Ranger Ashman offers this holiday
program to give visitors an opportunity
to explore the Commanding Officer
Quarters where 34 commandants and
their families lived and entertained. This
World War II Christmas program gives
visitors a chance to see the human side of
this historic site justly famous for its
exceptional historical military firearms
collection among other things.
Springfield Armory National Historic
Site commemorates and preserves the
site of our nation’s first armory, established in 1794. It’s the home of the
world’s largest historic American military firearms collection. Admission is
free. For information call 413-734-8551,

Ludlow’s first microbrewery and tap room now open
LUDLOW – Iron Duke Brewing is Western Mass’s
newest microbrewery and tap room.
Located in the Historic Ludlow Mills, Iron Duke is
now open for full service pint tastings and bottle sales
in their 1,000 square foot tasting room, which overlooks their newly operational Microbrewery.
Iron Duke has opened their doors with five beers
currently on tap and a new offering each week until all
of their 15 draft lines are full. Their tasting room is constructed in a rustic and inviting manner and positioned
in a way in which the production brewery is entirely
viewable when tasting their brews.
When visiting the tap room you will be invited to try
a variety of their beers fresh on tap or purchase a 64ounce growler or 32-ounce grunt bottle to take home
and enjoy with friends.
Iron Duke Brewing is open for business on Fridays
from 3:30 to 10 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 10 p.m.,
and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. The brewery is located
in Building 122, which is along the Chicopee River
tucked back off the beaten path of State Street in Ludlow.
The brewery is a little bit of a challenge to find, but
it will surely not be a disappointment once you do.
Iron Duke Brewing plans to continue to expand its
tap room selection throughout the coming months with
new experimental recipes that will only be available
at the brewery. Coming in January 2015, Iron Duke
will begin to distribute select beers to local restaurants and bars that will serve them on draft. Keep
an eye out for their signature offerings, which
include “Baby-Maker,” a deep amber porter, and
“Dead Nuts,” a refreshingly subtle and hoppy
American IPA.
For more information on Iron Duke Brewing, please
visit IronDukeBrewing.com or facebook.com/irondukebeer.
