FREE Vol 69 • No 31 • Wednesday, October 8, 2014 All articles pass at Special Town Meeting DaCruz elected moderator By Rich Wirth Register Correspondent LUDLOW – Seventy-three of the town’s 113 precinct voters passed 22 articles at Senior Center to host �Wallet Inventory Program’ Monday’s Special Town Meeting. The first order of business was the appointment of an interim town moderator. Former selectman Antonio Dos Santos, who was elected moderator back in March, resigned this summer because he is no longer a Ludlow resident. Selectman William E. Rooney, in turn, nominated former selectman and attorney John DaCruz for the post, with Selectman Carmina Fernandes nominating former town administrator Michael Szlosek. DaCruz was ultimately elected via a paper ballot vote of 45-28. DaCruz’s first official duty as moderator was to request a moment of silence in memory of David B. Irvine, a longtime Planning Board and Sewer Commission member who passed away in August, and Finance Committee member Albert J. Fabbre, who died in September. Articles 2-7 concerned nego- tiated salary increases for a number of collective bargaining units, including the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 98 (laborers and golf course); LATOS (Ludlow Association of Town Office Secretaries - cleriPlease see MEETING, Page 9 Police alert residents to vehicle break ins Neighbors helping neighbors . . . By Paula Killough [email protected] By Paula Killough [email protected] LUDLOW – Your wallet has been lost or stolen. What do you do? While most people might panic as they struggle to remember everything they stored in their wallets, the folks at the Ludlow Senior Center want to reduce that anxiety with a “Wallet Inventory.” “This was something that we just kind of fell upon,” said Senior Center Transportation Dispatcher Matthew Pszeniczny, who, along with Senior Center Bookkeeper Betty Harackiewicz, have organized the “Wallet Inventory Program.” “One of our co-workers’ spouse lost a wallet and was trying to remember what was in it. So we searched the Internet and found these inventory forms. “As we started putting this together, we thought it was a LUDLOW – Police are alerting the public to a string of recent vehicle break ins. According to Ludlow Provisional Lt. Daniel Valadas, the vehicle break ins have occurred within the last three weeks during the evening hours. Valadas said multiple items have been stolen from vehicles; other vehicles have been vandalized. A laptop computer was stolen from a vehicle at 88 Fuller St.; three cars were broken into on Prospect Street – a wallet, vehicle registration and change were stolen; registration was stolen from a motor vehicle on Haviland Street, and a purse was stolen from a vehicle on Highland Avenue. Vehicles on Hubbard and Miller streets and a lift truck parked behind Ludlow High School were vandalized, Valadas said.

The food drive is held the first Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to noon, at the IOCC headquarters at Myrtle Street Park, 117 Main St., Indian Orchard. Volunteers needed for emergency preparedness By Christi Mills Register Correspondent LUDLOW – The Ludlow Board of Health is seeking volunteers age 18 and older to join the “Emergency Preparedness” team. All that is required to serve as a volunteer is the ability to show up and the willingness to contribute. Members of veterans, civic and faith-based organizations are also encouraged to serve as volunteers. Emergency Preparedness team members, led by Ludlow Board of Health Commissioner Neil Paquette and Ludlow Director of Nursing Francine Rusiecki, R.N., assist the Ludlow community in the event of natural or man-made disasters, such as tornadoes, power outages, winter storms, or events that alter normal everyday routines. Lack of shelter, communication break-down, loss of electricity, heat and water are just some examples of what can happen during an emergency situation. According to Paquette, a perfect example of an emergency situation was during the severe winter storm that occurred in October 2011. Widespread and extended power outages combined with extreme cold temperatures resulted in Ludlow High School being turned into a warming shelter. Paquette said residents should not be shy about signing on as a volunteer, as anyone can contribute in a valuable way. Duties may include running errands; delivering items to various sites; checking people into emergency shelters; filling various support positions; clerical duties; dispensing personal care items and handing out blankets; assembling cots and assisting with cot assignments. Volunteers are needed for three shifts throughout the day – daytime, evenings and overnight. Paquette said severPlease see VOLUNTEERS, Page 17 Please see BREAK INS, Page 9 Storming the castle . . .

Monies raised from the Pennies for Sight campaign go directly to the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund, which began in 1950 to assist in raising funds to combat retinopathy of prematurity, more commonly known as baby blindness. Since its inception, the fund has gone on to provide research grants to find a cure or prevention for numerous diseases that cause blindness, such as dia- betes, macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, dry eye and glaucoma. Nearly $24 million has been raised to date, over $1 million last year alone. The Ludlow Lions have collection canisters located at Turnpike Package Store and Meadowbrook Variety, so while shopping at these locations, please look for Ludlow Lions canisters. Members will also be out at the Ludlow Post Office, Luso Federal Credit, and TD North on Saturday, Oct. 11, so if you spot a Lion or business with a collection can, please donate. Lions take pride in the fact that every penny donated to the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund goes directly to eye research. Bathrooms • Basements • Mudrooms Offices • Home Theater Rooms...

About half of retirees apply for Social Security as soon as they become eligible at age 62.1 But by doing so, they may significantly and permanently reduce the benefits that they — and possibly their spouses — could receive over a lifetime. Social Security provides not only a guaranteed income stream but also longevity protection, spousal protection, and some inflation protection. It may be the closest thing you receive to a traditional pension. Do you understand the various claiming strategies that could enhance your income? Whether you’re single, married, divorced, or widowed, there may be ways to maximize the lifetime Social Security benefits you receive. Join us for an educational workshop where we’ll focus on Social Security, plus a lot more. • How married couples can coordinate benefits to help enhance spousal and survivor benefits • Claiming a spousal benefit while earning delayed retirement credits • How the “file and suspend,” “do over,” and “start, stop, restart” strategies work • How claiming early worker benefits could lower your spousal benefit at full retirement age • The effect of remarriage on survivor benefits for widowed and divorced spouses • Making informed retirement plan distribution decisions • Using a direct IRA rollover to avoid current taxes and penalties • Strategies to help create a “do-it-yourself” personal pension Will your savings last as long as you do? Will you have the money you need to enjoy a comfortable retirement? For many Americans, the answer is no. That’s because a lifetime of investing and saving can be eroded by taxes, inflation, and poor investments. Fortunately, there are strategies to help address your long-term income needs. Find out how an annuity could help you accumulate retirement funds, manage taxes, fight the effects of inflation, and generate an income you can’t outlive. An annuity could help you: • Create an income source that could last a lifetime • Manage your investment risk • Benefit from tax-deferred accumulation • Provide a death benefit to heirs • Keep part of your estate out of probate When you attend the workshop, you will receive a 20-page, information-packed financial workbook with essential information from the workshop. Perhaps best of all, you’ll be eligible for the complimentary consultation offered to all workshop participants. Come to an educational workshop and hear how an annuity could help you keep more of your money. You’ll receive a 20-page workbook packed with information about this flexible financial vehicle.

Most annuities have surrender charges that are assessed if the contract owner surrenders the annuity. Withdrawals of annuity earnings are taxed as ordinary income. Withdrawals prior to age 59½ may be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty. Any guarantees are contingent on the claims-paying ability and financial strength of the issuing insurance company. Variable annuities are sold by prospectus. Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus, which contains this and other information about the variable annuity contract and the underlying investment options, can be obtained from your financial professional. Be sure to read the prospectus carefully before deciding whether to invest.

Page 8 • The Register • October 8, 2014 Viewpoints Letters to the Editor Long story short By Paula Killough Register Policies �Happy Feet’ team raises $9,000 to fight cancer – they say �thanks’ Who do they think they are dealing with? I t happened to me! A couple of weeks back, I got a phone call from a man with an Indian accent claiming that there was a warrant issued for the arrest of someone living at my address. I immediately hung up. Would you believe the man called me right back and said, “Why did you hang up on me?” I said, “Don’t call this number again,” and, again, I hung up. A few days later, I received a voicemail message on my home phone. The caller, again a man with an Indian accent, claimed that a warrant had been issued by the “federal investigation bureau of the IRS” because an incident of fraud had been flagged on tax returns. Mind you, the man never stated my name or my sweetheart, Bobby Rodrigues’ name, throughout the duration of the long voicemail message. He only said I should immediately call a number, I remember it was a 202 area code. I played the message on speakerphone for Bobby, and we had a good laugh. “This guy will never know that he tried to scam a reporter who has done multiple stories on this very scam and a retired police lieutenant,” I said. I, of course, just hung up. I can’t be bothered. Bobby, on the other hand, is hoping the guy will call back, so he can have some fun with the lousy crook. Even though I know about this scam, I have to say it was a tad alarming to be told that someone living at this residence has a warrant out for his or her arrest. Bobby, of course, was not alarmed. When I told him about that first call and that there is a warrant out for mine or his, probably his, arrest, he laughed and said, “Is that right? Well if he calls back, I’ll talk to him and tell him to come and get me.” He’s such a tough guy! I make a bit of fun here, but really, this is a serious matter. Many people have been duped by these scammers. Don’t be one of them. Scammers may identify themselves as IRS agents and even provide an IRS identification number. To make it appear even more official, caller ID may show a Washington D.C. telephone number or an IRS number. I checked into the call I received. It was a 202 area code, Washington D.C. I’ve reported on this before, but it’s always worth repeating – the IRS will first notify a taxpayer in writing via regular mail. The IRS will NEVER contact a taxpayer via email or request debit or credit card information via the telephone. If you receive a call from someone claiming to represent the IRS – JUST HANG UP. If you think you owe money to the IRS, contact them at 1-800-829-1040. And if you want to take it a step further, report the call to local police or call Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484. 2014 Turley Election Policy Letters to the editor of no more than 500 words from supporters endorsing specific candidates or discussing campaign issues are limited to three total per candidate during the election season.

Following up to an article that appeared in the Aug. 6 edition of The Register about the “Happy Feet” team, a group of women who trained for the 26-mile Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk to fight cancer, we walked, and it was great! It was a very long walk but worth every drop of sweat. On Sunday, Sept. 21, we started in Hopkinton in pouring rain, but by 6:15 a.m., the sky cleared, and we had a dry day. It was quite humid, and at times hot, but during the last eight miles or so, the sun was behind the clouds and walking was easier – we made it to Copley Square. The Heartbreak Hill was long but not very steep, actually easier than many hills we walked before. The six months training did its job, and we all were able to get to the Finish Line, tired but very happy. Those of us who had to, reported for duties Monday morning as usual. When it comes to raising money, our group came in 157th out of 938 as of Sept. 12, but it will most likely change by Oct. 15. Among the new groups for this year, we ranked 36th out of 390. We are proud of ourselves. There were over 8,800 walkers and 1,000 volunteers this year. The total raised this year is expected to top $7.5 million. Since 1989, over $100 million was donated to Dana Farber by families and friends of those who decided to walk. This is a reason to celebrate. We would like to thank everyone who supported us. Thanks to you, Helping Feet raised over $9,000 with donations still being accepted to Oct. 15. Without everyone’s help, the research centers would not be able to come up with new procedures, medications and ways to fight the horrible monster. Thank you again, Kamila Wnuk Ludlow Guest Column A Slick, Skilled and Seasoned Stow-A-Way By Joan E. B. Coombs Intentional. Targeted. Stealth acts were performed with peerless skill in the silent, dark shadows. Hours before dawn, a slick path was staked out, planned and completed with unparalleled expertise. On that chilly October morning, an unsuspecting gunboat was overtaken, and a seasoned, stow-a-way mission was accomplished in less than 24 hours. “What’s this?” my husband bellowed. “What’s WHAT?” I replied, gulping my first sip of morning coffee. “Is this a JOKE?” “What’s the problem?” “Did you spill THIS in my shoe?” “Spill WHAT into WHERE?” Readers, local merchants, institutions, municipalities, nonprofit groups, and civic organizations are strongly encouraged to send The Register your hometown news and photos.

The other Size 14 shoe swung dangling from his left hand as shoestrings jostled mid air. “Last night, I put these shoes out and ready for today’s meetings.” “And your point is…” “This shoe is STASHED with BIRD SEED!” “WHAT? Birdseed? I only feed PEANUTS to the squirrels and chipmunks. Acorns are bombarding our roof and burying our yard, walkway and driveway. It could be a long, hard winter…” my voice trailed. “Maybe so.

After whisking the seed debris out of this shoe, he sat down putting on his remaining sock and shoe. Looking up with his typical Cheshire-cat grin and quick wit, and knowing that his humor would make my day, I waited for his retort. “Well, I can excuse that critter’s packrat maneuvers.” “How so?” I asked, while straightening his tie. “Because, my dear Watsonette, field mice or critters are smarter than we think.” “Huh?” “ Those seeds WERE NOT stashed in a loafer, a slipper, or a sneaker?” “Clever deduction, my dear Sherlock.” “It stored BIRDSEED ONLY in my WING-TIPPED dress shoe!” “Fun pun done!” he quipped. Grabbing his briefcase in stride, he spread-eagled his way through autumnstrewn acorns along our walkway. Before heading to my day’s work, while savoring my second cup of coffee, I basked in the blissful humor of an early morning seed skirmish, uniquely ushered in by a slick, skilled and seasoned stowa-way.

MEETING from Page 1 cal/Council on Aging), and Ludlow police dispatchers. The most current contracts, which became effective on July 1, 2014, and run through June 30, 2017, call for a 2 percent increase in each fiscal year. Police Chief Paul Madera requested Article 8, which sought to create a parttime (21-hour) weekend night position for the police department’s dispatch center. The roughly $22,000 a year salary will be covered by a $40,000 E-911 grant, Madera said. Currently $35,000 of that grant is being spent on overtime to maintain adequate staffing on all shifts. The department’s Special Police officers will see a rate increase with the passage of Article 9, from the current rate of $11.87 an hour to $15.17. These reserve officers, who pay their own way through the academy and receive the same training as full-time police officers, provide coverage at more than 35 town events, handle traffic duty and supplement regular patrols as needed. The department would need to add another 20 full-time officers to offset their presence, Madera said. Although the department is not obligated to pay these officers, who must volunteer a minimum of 150 hours a year, they are sometimes provided compensation as a courtesy, he added. Madera said he has money in his budget to cover the increase. “When the budget money runs out, there is no more pay,” he said. Madera was initially seeking to raise the hourly rate to $18.50 – a 56 percent increase – and will likely seek an additional $3.33 at the Annual Town Meeting in May. Voters approved Article 10, which sought $34,140 to cover a projected shortfall in the fire department’s rescue pumper replacement project that was approved at the May 12 Annual Town Meeting. The monies will be used to fund corrosion prevention measures that will extend the life of the vehicle. “This is a 25-year investment for the town,” Rooney said. Turley Publications file photo (L-R) Connor Burke, 5, and his brother Brendan, 8, pet the goats that were on display last year during Randall’s Farm “Fall Festival” event. Randall’s Farm “Fall Festival” continues, open weekends from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Oct. 26! Fire Chief Mark Babineau said side impact roll protection will also be installed in the pumper. He said roughly 100 firefighters are killed in the U.S. every year, and 25 percent of those deaths are a result of apparatus-related accidents en route to or returning from a call. Article 14 changed the notice requirement (from 48 hours to 30 days) for individuals seeking written permission from the Board of Selectmen to hold a parade or procession on public streets or sidewalks. Article 15, relating to an amendment to Chapter IV of the town’s bylaws regarding Regulating the Conduct of Citizens, generated some discussion. The new section, which would require property owners to maintain vacant and abandoned property, extended the grace period (up to 60 days) and instituted an appeal process. Rooney said this article was originally included on the warrant of a Special Town Meeting last October, but it was revised following suggestions from some precinct members. He said the impetus for the article was a complaint he received from a Noel Street resident who lives across the street from a blighted property. The foreclosed property is bank-owned, and the bank’s attorney informed the town it has no recourse because there is no bylaw in effect. �That individual has to look out every day at an absolute pigsty of a house that the town of Ludlow is powerless to do anything about because we don’t have a bylaw,” Rooney said. “It’s unfair to the neighbors.” Precinct member Tim Donnelly said he was opposed to the article because there were “too many discretionary determinations.” Derek DeBarge agreed. “I think this is too ambiguous to go forward,” he said. Precinct member Ryan Pease, a captain with the Ludlow Fire Department, said he’s personally seen a number of these blighted properties in his capacity as the department’s fire prevention officer and urged approval of the article. “To me it’s a quality of life issue,” he said. “It’s also a public health and a safety issue.” Article 22, which sought a zone change from Agriculture to Residential A for the purposes of subdividing a 1.8 acre parcel at 18 Chapin St., resulted in some debate. Rosemary Brodeur, who resides at 25 Chapin St., said 19 residents from Chapin and Miller streets and Batista Circle signed a petition opposing the article. Chief among their concerns is well water contamination. “We are set back below road-grade heading back to the river,” Brodeur said. “Anything they do to the road affects us.’ The disruption of a natural wildlife pathway in the area was also noted. “We are at Tin Bridge,” she said. “We are the last bastion.” Building more than one house on the subdivided property would change the character of the rural area, she added Planning Board member Ray Phoenix said any suggestion that the Planning Board gave a cursory nod when preapproving this article was a “gross misrepresentation” of the process. “Something is going to be on that piece of property; the people that own that property have the right to develop it,” he said. “We can’t say no to everything. We have to say yes to (what’s best for the town).” Property owner Marco M. Vieira attempted to speak, but a motion to extend the debate failed with a head count. Article 22 passed overwhelmingly. Voters also approved a zone change from Residential B and Residential A to Business A for a parcel of land at 18 Canterbury St. owned by Antonio Sebastiao. Dos Santos, who was in attendance and was allowed to speak although he is no longer a resident, said this was a “clean-up” article to conform the lot to East Street’s Business A designation. Article 23, which concerned a zone change from Agriculture to Industrial A for a parcel at Lot B Lawton Street, was withdrawn by the Planning Board. You can find the Ludlow Register on facebook.

Ludlow grads awarded scholarships from Big Y Turley Publications submitted photo Gabriel Rivera, pictured here with his family members last year, was a winner in the National Family Partnership’s annual Red Ribbon Week Photo contest. For his efforts, Rivera won $1,000 for his school – Veterans Park – and an iPad for his family. LUDLOW – In an effort to prevent drug use and educate youth, the National Family Partnership (NFP) invites families and schools across America to participate in its Annual Red Ribbon Photo Contest taking place this month, in conjunction with the 29th Annual Red Ribbon Week. Schools and families in the Ludlow community should be especially encouraged to take part after enjoying local success in 2013. Gabriel Rivera, a student at Veterans Park Elementary School, was one of last year’s national winners. “It’s important for children to understand that drug addiction can happen to anybody, and this is the perfect age to start the conversation,” said Veterans Park Principal Melissa Knowles. “If they start learning now, they can use these lessons to make smart decisions when they are older.” Once again, 10 families across America will be selected to win the grand prize: an iPad and $1,000 donation to a K-12 school of their choosing. There will also be one prize awarded for a school decoration. Here’s how to enter: • Students and families decorate their home’s front door, mailbox or fence with a double-looped red ribbon and the theme, “Love Yourself. Be Drug Free.” Schools may decorate any part of their campus. • Take a photo with your decoration and upload it to RedRibbon.org/contest now through Nov. 4. You must be 18 years or older to upload the photo and can do so from any desktop or mobile device. • Ask family and friends to vote for your entry beginning Nov. 5. • Eleven winners will be announced Dec. 5. “Students will once again take the Red Ribbon Campaign prevention message into their homes, neighborhoods and schools with this contest,” said NFP President Peggy Sapp. “It’s a fun and creative way for parents to educate their children about the dangers of drug use while they decorate their homes using this year’s theme, �Love Yourself. Be Drug Free.’” Nearly nine percent of United States youths ages 12 to 17 use illicit drugs, according to the National Survey of Drug Use Health’s Summary of National Findings. The same study showed that substance use by adolescents could be prevented through early interventions, including parental involvement. In fact, 96 percent of youths who perceived strong parental disapproval for trying marijuana once or twice remained drug free. Red Ribbon Week is the nation’s largest and oldest drug prevention campaign, created in response to the 1985 abduction and murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.

This exercise also serves as a humbling reminder to us all to continue to strive for excellence,” said Donald H. D’Amour, Big Y chairman and CEO. “My personal congratulations go out to all of our winners.” Scholarship applications for the upcoming 2015 – 2016 academic year will be available at all of Big Y’s 63 locations, including Fresh Acres and Table & Vine, from mid-October through January.

The answer - simply an amazing day of youth football! Such was the case on Sunday as the Ludlow Football Association welcomed Longmeadow to Whitney Park for a Week 6 SAFL match up. And while the results didn’t quite lean in the home team’s favor (two losses and a victory), the Lions showed that they can definitely play with the big boys. Although the Pee-Wee team eventually fell 28-14, this was a game that was much closer than the final score would indicate. Ludlow’s lineman owned the first half, playing their best football to date. After holding Longmeadow to a four-and-out on their opening series, the offensive line opened up some nice holes for Ryan Kennedy and Brady DeBarge, who would put the Lions on the board first with a lengthy scoring run. Longmeadow would answer but failed on the conversion play to keep the Lions’ lead at 8-6. Longmeadow would threaten again but a key touchdown saving tackle by Lily By Tim Peterson Turley Publications Sports Correspondent LUDLOW - Alyssa Szymczyk and Emily McGourty are two of the eight seniors listed on the Ludlow girls varsity soccer roster. Szymczyk and McGourty, who have known each other since they were in the sixth grade, combined for the Lady Lions first goal against Agawam leading to a 2-0 shutout victory in a non-league match played under the lights at Ludlow High School, last Tuesday night, Sept. 30. “Emily and I have been friends since we were in the sixth grade,” Szymczyk said. “When we were in the eighth grade, we combined for a goal in the PVJLS (Pioneer Valley Junior Soccer League) finals, but this was the first time that we combined for a goal in a varsity game. It was a pretty good feeling.” It was the Lady Lions, who had a 71-3 overall record at the beginning of this week, third consecutive shutout and sixth overall this season. They’ve gone 5-0-3 since losing at East Longmeadow, Turley Publications photo by David Henry sweetdogphotos.com Ludlow’s Giavanna Colaccino (6) looks to make a run up the field. 3-2, at the beginning of September. “We’re also in a much more comfortable position than we were in at this time last year. We just have to continue playing well like we’ve been doing,” said Ludlow head coach Katie Marino, who’s approaching her 100th career varsity victory. “I thought we played very well during the first half and Agawam came out hungry at the start of the secPlease see LADY LIONS Page 16 Ludlow, Chicopee settle for tie By Nate Rosenthal Turley Publications Sports Correspondent CHICOPEE - There are many expressions that are used in sports to describe ties. Some are less flattering than others. The boys soccer game between Ludlow and Chicopee, in the eyes of many from Ludlow would likely be categorized in not so pleasant terms. Seven minutes into the game, the Lions scored a goal and continued to have an edge in possession through the first half. They outshot the Pacers, 10-6. At approximately the same point in the second half, 7:00, Chicopee evened the score. They were still outshot by Ludlow, but the ball was kept out of the net and the Lions went home, with a tie. In the first minute Brad Garete got a shot from the side of the Chicopee goal and Josh Rogowski came out to get. In the third, Chicopee had a big opportunity after a Cody Jones corner kick. The ball went into the crowd in front of the net. Brendan Berube got off a shot that was stopped by Tyler Diotalevi. The ball rebounded to Atheer Albahadly, who put one on Diotalevi. All of that led to another corner kick for Jones. In the sixth minute, the Lions broke downfield Zach Frangules, Josh Labonte and David Goncalves leading the charge. LaBonte found Frangules about 5 yards away from the left post and pushed a pass to him. Frangules found the opening between Rogowski and the post with 7:07 played, Ludlow had a 1-0 lead. The teams moved back and forth up and down the field after that. In the 11th minute Jones had another corner kick. In the 14th, Batuhan Citlak was wide right with a shot. In the 20th, Goncalves had a corner kick for the Lions. After Chicopee cleared, the broke downfield, where Dan Vazquez was able to get a shot from 20 yards that bounced off the crossbar. Frangules had a break in the 28th minute and got off a shot from 10 yards out. Rogowski knocked it away. Turley Publications photo by David Henry sweetdogphotos.com Ludlow’s Bruno Machado (4) takes a look down at the field. Seconds later, it was Davin Kendall with a shot to the left of the goal. As the first half went into the final 10:00, the action slowed. Then in the final 6:00, it picked up. Berube sent a 35-yarder just to the left of the goal in the 34th minute. Diotalevi went after it. Jones had a free kick in the 35th and in the 38th, Rogowski covered up a 10yard shot from David Goncalves. The half ended with Ludlow leading 1-0. The second half started out much like the first, with Ludlow pressuring at the Chicopee end. After the Lions swarmed the net, Bruno Machado had a corner kick in the second minute, which went right in front of the goal. Rogowski came out a few feet to kick it away. A minute later Chicopee got the ball downfield where Brandon Bailey sent one through the crease past Diotalevi. In the fourth minute, Goncalves had a free kick from the ten. He veered away from the ball and Machado kicked it, but it was blocked at the wall set up by the Pacers. In the sixth minute Chicopee managed to clear the ball and that led to a Jones corner kick. When the Lions were unable to clear the ball, Kaleb Figueroa picked it up at about the 15-yard line. He passed it inside to Bailey at the 5. The pass was high and Bailey out jumped the defender to head it past Diotalevi for the tying goal. The time was 6:53 into the second half.

October 8, 2014 • The Register • Page 15 Sports Sugermeyer enshrined in Downes Hall of Fame Becomes the eighth individual in his sport to be inducted SPRINGFIELD - An axiom that Steve Sugermeyer, a 1978 graduate, often lives by during his four-decade association with Western New England University is "From day one, I always tried to help the wrestling program — put your best foot forward." During Homecoming Weekend, the former accounting major took a giant leap forward into the annals of all-time Golden Bear greats when he was enshrined as a member of the University's Athletics Downes Hall of Fame. Sugermeyer joined five other Western New England greats who comprised the 16th class inducted to the Downes Hall during a ceremony held at Rivers Memorial Hall. Known as a pioneer in the sport of wrestling at the University, Sugermeyer competed on the grassroots club team as a freshman in 1974-1975 that led to varsity status two years later. In his sophomore year, he was the junior varsity captain and team most valuable player in 1975-76. He placed second at the 1976 New England Junior Varsity Championships in the 118-pound division. As a junior member of the first varsity squad in 1976-77, Sugermeyer turned in an even better performance than the prior season by finishing with a 13-1 record and qualifying for the national championships — among the first class of WNE wrestlers to do so. As a result, he was the recipient of what is now known as the Joe Leto Award for greatest contribution to team effort. A two-time varsity captain, he wrapped up his career after the 19771978 season as a senior scholar-athlete and all-college performer. He wrestled at the 118 weight class during his collegiate career. “Coming to a college acknowledging that my wrestling career (I thought) was over (after high school) only to be instrumental in the program's start-up, earning the team MVP our first year, being named the college's scholar-athlete as a senior and joining WNE's first class of national qualifiers are special to me," Sugermeyer describes as his most memorable moments as a student-athlete here. While attending graduate school and maintaining a full-time at the same time, Sugermeyer stayed on with the program for the 1978-1979 campaign helping then-coach Bob Skelton. Sugermeyer also earned a Master of Science in Accounting from Western New England in 1980. Sugermeyer recalls the best advice his college coach gave him occurred during a road trip to Plymouth, N.H., saying "Once on a trip to Plymouth State while as the team's 118-pound wrestler, I attempted to come to the defense of our heavyweight (but) Coach instructed me to keep the 'guinea' in me!" He still remains close to his athletic pursuit at his alma mater, serving as a two-year Faculty Fellow to the team and he has had three stints (1979-1980, 1984-86 and 2002) as a volunteer assistant coach at under Skelton. In addition, he has been active in the community as a Western Massachusetts wrestling official from 1978-1986 and coaching the youth wrestling program at the Scantic Valley YMCA in Wilbraham for the past 10 years. "I'll periodically lace up the wrestling shoes and wrestle at practice," adds Sugermeyer. Sugermeyer also stays active by road biking, competing in five Olympic distance triathlons and running in 33 marathons including 17 in the famed Boston Marathon. Today, Sugermeyer is a General Partner at Gauthier & Sugermeyer, CPA, in Ludlow, and he has been a full-time faculty member at Western New England from 1989-90 and then 11 of the past 12 years. He is a professional educator of accounting in the College of Business at the University. His teaching career began as an adjunct instructor at Western New England in 1986. He makes his home in Hampden with his wife, Tracey, and the couple has three children: Laura (25), Michael (23) and Kevin (21). Being a Golden Bear and earning his bachelor's and master's degree at the University have had a profound impact on Sugermeyer's life since adulthood. "I never thought that WNE would have had so much influence on my life. I was a commuter who came to a school without wrestling. My first job in public accounting was at one of my professor's firms. I have coached here at WNE. I have taught here at WNE. I met my wife here at WNE at a wrestling function. I currently serve as the wrestling team's faculty fellow. My son, Michael, is currently the assistant coach here at WNE, so I can't wait to see the fruits of his current recruits this upcoming wrestling season." Steve's son, Michael, was his induction presenter. In addition to coaching, Michael works as a media services technology support assistant at the University.

Falcons top Wolf Pack in shootout SPRINGFIELD – The Springfield Falcons topped the Hartford Wolf Pack, 3-2, Saturday night in a shootout at the MassMutual Center. Falcons goaltender Anton Forsberg stopped 21 of 23 shots in victory. Wolf Pack goaltender Jason Missiaen turned away 10 of 11 shots before being replaced by Jeff Malcolm, who allowed one goal on 15 shots. The Falcons were unable to convert on two power-play opportunities. The penalty kill unit shut down the Wolf Pack’s only man-advantage. After a scoreless first period, the Falcons struck first at the 3:29 mark of the middle frame. Austin Madaisky passed to Mike Hoeffel, who skated the puck into the offensive zone and took a wrist shot from the left circle. The high shot slid under the crossbar to give the Falcons a 1-0 lead. Springfield increased their lead over Hartford at the 11:34 mark. Trent Vogelhuber brought the puck across the slot and passed back to the stick of Hubert Labrie. Labrie beat Malcolm to add another Springfield tally. T.J. Tynan was credited with the secondary assist. The Wolf Pack answered with 3:57 remaining in the second period. Forsberg made the initial save on a Nick Tarnasky shot. Shawn O’Donnell was able to get a stick on the puck and slid it over the goal line. Vinny Saponari picked up a point for the helper. The Falcons entered the second intermission leading, 2-1. Hartford scored once more in the third period to force overtime. Andrew Yogan passed back to O’Donnell, who one-timed the feed past Forsberg from the right circle at the 11:26 mark. Saponari earned his second point of the contest with the secondary assist. A scoreless overtime frame led to a shootout. Tynan scored the game-winner in the first round with a quick backhand shot over Malcolm’s left pad. The Springfield Falcons will open the 2014-15 regular season at Syracuse Oct. 11 and Oct. 17 before returning to the MassMutual Center to host the Hershey Bears at 7 p.m. on Oct. 18. Falcons fall to Bruins The Falcons fell to the Providence Bruins, 5-1, Friday night at the MassMutual Center. Falcons’ goaltender Oscar Dansk stopped 23 of 28 shots, while his Bruins counterpart, Jeremy Smith, turned away 22 of 23. The Falcons were able to convert on one of three power play opportunities. The penalty kill unit allowed two goals on six Bruins man-advantages. The Bruins opened scoring and carried a 1-0 lead into the first intermission. Tyler Randell scored a power-play goal for the Bruins at the 6:52 mark. Randell powered a shot from the left point while the Falcons were down a man due to a high-sticking penalty. Joe Morrow and Jared Knight each picked up a point for the assist. Springfield scored once in the middle frame, but allowed two Providence goals, ending the period down, 3-1. Domenic Monardo received a pass from Ryan Craig in the crease and put the Falcons on the board with a power-play goal 37 seconds into the period. Lukas Sedlak earned a point for the helper. The Bruins responded three minutes later. Knight redirected a pass from Randell to put Providence back on top, 2-1. Morrow was credited with the secondary assist.

Page 16 • The Register • October 8, 2014 Sports LADY LIONS from Page 14 ond half.” A year ago, the Lady Lions missed qualifying for the Western Mass. Division 1 Tournament by only one point. They began this week’s action with 17 points and they needed only one more point (two points for a win, one for a tie) in their final seven regular season matches in order to qualify for the postseason tournament. “We’re a much closer team this season, which wasn’t the case last year,” Szymczyk said. “It just feels great to be this close to qualifying for the postseason tournament.” While the Lady Lions players can start thinking about the postseason tournament, the Lady Brownies (2-6-2) still have a lot of hard work to do to accomplish the same feat. “It was a very tough night for us, but we’re still hoping to make the postseason tournament this year,” said Agawam TITANS from Page 14 against Miss Porter’s,” Ashley Theriault, of Ludlow, said. “We started out slowly, losing the first set, but we were able to pick each other up, which allowed us to win the next three sets.” WMA dropped the first set 21-25 before responding with 26-24, 25-21 and 25-10 set victories. Most impressively, the Titans beat a solid team without four-year starter Bailey Giese (concussion). “The team played great,” WMA coach Donna Barone said. “They went from learning a new rotation to all of a sudden becoming a true team. By the fourth set, Miss Porter’s didn’t know what hit them – we were playing so well as a unit. I’m so ecstatic. “Not having Bailey out there was initially a challenge, but I think it was a great opportunity for the other players to see what they’re made of. They rallied around each other and they’re learning that you don’t have one superstar in volleyball. It’s a team sport.” head coach Laura Wray-Ramos “They were the dominate team in the first half and we did come alive in the second half. We just weren’t able to make a comeback tonight.” The non-league match was scoreless until the 19th minute of the first half. That’s when McGourty, who’s a firstyear varsity player, sent a crossing pass to Szymczyk on the right side. She then dribbled the ball up the field and fired a shot past Agawam junior goalkeeper Jenna Beach, who was credited with nine saves in the contest. It was McGourty’s first assist and it was also Szymczyk’s first goal of the season. Szymczyk now has nine career varsity goals with five of them coming when she was a sophomore. A little more than 10:00 later, sophomore forward Julianna Iwasinski put a beautiful shot from the right side into the left corner for an unassisted goal giving the home team a 2-0 lead. It was her fourth goal of the season. “Julianna is a natural goal scorer,” Marino said. “I was a little bit comfortable having a 2-0 lead, but I was really hoping that we would’ve scored a couple more goals.” The Lady Lions, who outshot the Lady Brownies, 10-0, in the opening half, had several other very good scoring chances, but the score was still 2-0 at halftime. Ludlow also had several more scoring chances in the second half, but they couldn’t put any more shots into the back of the net past Beach. “I thought that our goalie played spectacular the whole game,” WrayRamos said. “She was aggressive and didn’t allow any more goals during the second half.” Beach received plenty of support, especially in the second half, from her defensive unit led by freshman Cassandra Jones, sophomore Katelyn Grasso, senior Kaitlyn Martin, and senior Lindsey Wassung. Down at the other end of the field, Ludlow senior goalkeeper Meghan McCarthy only had to make one save in the match, which came on a corner kick during the second half. The Lady Lions defensive unit was led by sophomore Nissa Pereira, sophomore Taylor Masse, junior Morgan Foye, and senior Kelsey Jordan. “Our four defenders and goalkeeper have really jelled as a group this season,” Marino said. “I’m very happy with how well they’ve been playing lately.” The Lady Lions concluded last week with a 3-0 road victory against Westfield, last Thursday afternoon. The three goal scorers in that contest were junior midfielder Jennifer Hackett, senior midfielder Molly Palatino, and senior midfielder Olivia Santos. The Lady Brownies lost 2-0 against Minnechaug, last Thursday night. Unlike recent years, the Titans have one thing they can always count on going into a match: experienced senior leadership, with the Academy sporting seven members in the Class of 2015. “I’ve seen a significant change in the team this year,” Theriault said. “As a team we’ve grown together. It helps most of us have played with each other for three or four years. We have a big senior class. We’ve been able to grow each year.” Anna McCartney and Meera Miller played very well at the net for the Titans, and Ashley was superb in her new role as setter. Ally Faulstick gave Miss Porter’s problems with her serving. Coach Barone said her new assistant coach, John Reidy, has been an invaluable addition to the team this season. “He has this presence with the girls where he can joke but he’s teaching them,” Coach Barone said. “He’s forcing them, in a good way, to take their game to the next level. He’s helped me learn more as a coach.” JUNIORS Chambers, Cam LaPatin , Collin Doyle and Jacob Wadas were among those that contributed at the right time. Chris Fogg and Jake Manewich also had scores to round out the Lions’ win. The Senior team had the toughest task of the day, facing an undefeated Longmeadow squad. While the Knights would get the best of the Lions by a score of 44-12, Ludlow still played well enough to claim “small victories.” That would come in the form of their play on offense that was consistent throughout the day. Jeremy Garcia was the Lions’ workhorse on the ground and had a decent day rushing. But it was quarterback Carson Kowalski’s accuracy that gave Ludlow it’s only two scores of the day. Running a unique offensive set, Kowalski hit Michael Hastings with a touchdown pass in the first half and connected again with Jacob Ferris late in the game. The Lions had a tough day on defense but saw solid play from Kowalski, Josh Saloio, Dylan Beddow, Greg Ricardi and Jaiden Giza-Bilodeau. With their home schedule complete, Ludlow will play their final two regular season games on the road. The Lions will travel to Agawam this Sunday and finish off in Belchertown on Oct. 19. Field locations and times for both games can be found on either the LFA of SAFL websites.

The two teams traded scores to open the second half and knot the game at 14-14. Unfortunately for the Lions, a Longmeadow interception would allow the visitors to take the lead for good. Some bright spots for the Lions included the defensive play of Mason Marques, Adrian Leiper and Roniel Traveras, who chased down a Longmeadow breakaway runner to the 1-yard line and captivated the crowd with his own touchdown saving tackle. The Junior team solidified their spot in the playoffs with a thrilling 38-22 win. Whereas Longmeadow has tradition and history on their side, Ludlow has Jamonte Beckett, an exciting firstyear player who creates magic on the field. Beckett rushed for two touchdowns in the first half, including a spectacular play during which he was swarmed by two Longmeadow defenders, lost the ball, picked it back up and continued on into the end zone. Beckett also had one reception for a touchdown and one interception on defense. All around solid play by Ludlow’s defense held the Knights offense in check for most of the game.

In the 11th, he sent one from the right side that forced Diotalevi to come out in order to keep it away from other Pacers. In the 12th, the ball was back on the other end and Goncalves sent a 20 yarder just to the right of the goal. Nick Dos Santos had a corner kick in the 15th. More shots rang out for Ludlow with Rogowski making a diving stop in the 16th minute off a 10-yarder by Garete. A minute after that, Garete was wide left from 8 yards. Back to the Ludlow end, it was Albahadly with a shot on goal from 15 yards in the 20th minute and in the 24th, Doyle could not corral a crossing pass from Aymen Saady in front of the goal. A minute later, Machado led Frangules with a pass, but his shot from The Tim Peterson is a sports correspondent for Turley Publications.

Jones took a free kick in the 33rd minute and it was right on goal, where Diotalevi made the save. It was a similar situation in the 35th as Jacob Parker put a 30-yarder on Rogowski. The Lions had one last shot in the 38th minute, when Frangules sent one through the crease and Garete followed with a 15-yarder that went over the goal. The Lions peppered Chicopee with 18 shots, while Diotalevi faced just eight, stopping seven. Nate Rosenthal is a sports correspondent for Turley Publications. He can be reached at [email protected].

Omer M. Bernardo 1927-2014 LUDLOW – Omer M. Bernardo, 86, of Ludlow, passed into the great beyond Tuesday, Sept. 30, after a brief illness. Born Nov. 12, 1927, he was the son of the late Domingos and Gertrude Bernardo. Omer proudly served his country during World War II as a member of the U. S. Navy Seabees. He saw extensive service in the Pacific Theater. He was a lifelong electrician and owner of Bernardo Electric. In the years after his retirement, he served as the Electrical Inspector for the Town of Ludlow. Omer was a communicant of Our Lady of Fatima Church and a past Grand Knight of the Ludlow Knights of Columbus. He is survived by his wife Mary (Coelho) Bernardo; two sons, Omer Jr. and Brett, and his sister Philomena Fidalgo and her husband Arthur. He also leaves his beloved grandchildren Melissa and her husband Edwin; Amy and her fiancé Corey; Kali and her husband Thomas and Arianna along with his great-grandson Christian Alexander and step-great-granddaughter Destiny. Omer leaves many nieces, nephews and friends. Sadly, he was predeceased by his son Brian and his sisters Irene Dias and Laura Santos.

Although we have no ideal goal for the number of volunteers, I can say, with certainty, that we can never have enough volunteers,” said Paquette. “Assembling cots is quite labor intensive, so we can always use additional volunteers for that task.” The Board of Health is one of several town departments that comprise the Ludlow Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). LEPC members also include representatives from the Ludlow Fire and Police Departments, the Ludlow Public Schools, the Department of Public Works and the Ludlow Senior Center. The committee meets once a month throughout the year, taking summer months off, to coordinate and implement all aspects of local, state and federal emergency preparedness guidelines. “Creating the LEPC and the Emergency Preparedness Team not only ensures the safety of our community, but it also gives us the opportunity to apply for funding for related emergency preparedness,” Paquette said. “We recently purchased a shed to house our emergency preparedness equipment from funding provided by the state.” WALLET INVENTORY wonderful idea,” Pszeniczny continued. The premise of the program is simple – write down everything you keep in your wallet – documents, identification cards, credit, ATM/debit cards, membership cards, etc., and then store the inventory sheet in a secure place. Keeping a wallet inventory will help you to provide information to all relevant financial and business industries to keep your accounts secure and lessen your exposure to identity theft. Pszeniczny said there are two ways to complete the Wallet Inventory form – visit the Ludlow Senior Center on Thursday, Oct. 23, from 9:30 to 11 a.m., and Senior Center staff, along with Ludlow Police Officer Jerome Mayou, will assist you in filling out the Wallet Inventory form. All information will remain confidential. Or you can download the forms from the town’s website at www.ludlow.ma.us/.

Register • Page 17 The Emergency Preparedness Team also provides additional services as an Emergency Dispensing Site (EDS) during a widespread medical emergency. Volunteers can be utilized for EDS and widespread medical emergencies as well. “About three years ago, we held a live EDS drill,” said Paquette. “We were the first community to perform a live EDS drill in the state of Massachusetts. We performed a second EDS drill last year. Both drills were performed in cooperation with the State Department of Public Health and representatives from surrounding communities. “We did a flu clinic several years ago in which we dispensed the flu vaccine updated to include the H1N1 flu vaccine that was administered to those who visited the Board of Health, the members of the Senior Center and Ludlow Public School System staff members and students,” Paquette continued. “We are eager to touch base with everyone,” said Rusiecki. “Public safety is everyone’s responsibility not just those who serve as volunteers. I encourage everyone to please consider becoming a volunteer because no matter how many volunteers we have listed, not everyone can show up at the same time.” To sign up or to learn more about becoming a volunteer, contact the Board of Health at 413-583-5600, ext. 1271, visit the Board of Health office at Ludlow Town Hall or send an email inquiry to [email protected]. Once the inventory form is complete, store it in a secure place, like a safe or lockbox within your home. Pszeniczny said the program is open to all residents – not only seniors. “We’re promoting this for everyone to do it,” he said. Pszeniczny said the Senior Center may expand on the Wallet Inventory Program in the future to include a program that will help to keep Internet information at the ready. “If you think of all the areas you go into now on the Internet, you need a username and password, it can be quite a list,” said Pszeniczny said. Most people save this information on their computers, but what if your computer crashes? Creating a hard copy inventory of all usernames and passwords will keep this information available and secure.

Crespo has a diverse financial background that includes graduating cum laude from Westfield State University with a bachelor’s degree in business management with a concentration in finance. Crespo’s certifications include a Series 7 license (investment advisor/broker), Series 66 license (investment advisor) and a Life and Health license. He is a member of the ERC Chamber of Commerce and an Our Lady of Fatima parishioner. He volunteers for several charitable organizations including the Ludlow Rotary Club and the Our Lady of Fatima Festa Committee. Crespo said his partnership with Edward Jones boasts a full brokerage firm that works with individual investors to assist them in achieving their financial goals in a wide range of areas, including Turley Publications staff photo by CHRISTI MILLS (L-R) State Rep. Thomas Petrolati (D-Ludlow) presents Ludlow resident Steven Crespo a House Citation during an “Open House,” held at Crespo’s new Ludlow office located at 658 Center St. Joining them last Thursday, Oct. 2, is Ludlow Selectman and Attorney Carmina Fernandes.

I believe building a relationship, face to face, is key to a successful relationship. We, at Edward Jones Investments, strive on building strong relationships with our clients.” Crespo encourages everyone to schedule a free complimentary financial review, by appointment only with him.
