Dr. Morris Stimage-Norwood, senior pastor of Greater New Life Christian Center (GNL), attributes his tenacity of will, his ongoing perseverance, and his love for God as the contributing factors in helping him to overcome obstacles he faced growing up in Chicago, Ill. “Rev Morris,” as he is fondly called, said he also gives credit to his late loving mother, Zula, whom he says epitomized the Southern cook; his beautiful wife, Jacqueline, and their wonderful children Marcus, Joron, Aren and Nia. Rev. Norwood said he over- came a life of addiction, gang activity and other troubles he experienced while living on Chicago’s West Side, widely known for both its gang and drug activities. He said during a period of incarceration in 1984, he found salvation in the Lord and, two years later, in 1986, he was led into the ministry. Rev. Norwood earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Chicago University, a Master of Divinity degree from McCormick Theological Seminary and a Doctorate of Divinity degree from Martha Vineyard’s Theological Seminary. He served as pastor at churches located in Columbia, S.C., and in Springfield prior to founding GNL, which falls under the auspices of the American Baptist Churches, in 2002. Rev. Norwood says GNL has deep ties to the community, as it provides church, youth, outpatient, and senior services, sober homes and membership in various church groups. GNL also hosts monthly family, cultural or special events. GNL also started the New Life Center for Recovery, which offers Outpatient Services, such as therapy, life skills training, alcohol and drug testing and relapse prevention skills; the Covenant House, for sober adult women in recovery; the Power House for Men, for sober adult Please see GNL, Page 9 Page 2 • The Register •January 7, 2015 The Ludlow Register Obituary Policy Turley Publications offers two types of obituaries.

National Blood Donor Month recognizes the importance of giving blood and platelets while honoring those who roll up a sleeve to help patients in need. It has been observed during January since 1970, and that's no coincidence. Winter is an especially difficult time to collect enough blood to meet patient needs. Unpredictable winter weather can result in blood drive cancelations, and seasonal illnesses, like the flu, may cause some donors to be unable to make or keep blood donation appointments. Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with O negative, A negative and B negative. With a shelf life of 42 days, red blood cells must be constantly replenished to maintain an adequate supply for patients. To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Christ the King parishioners Betty Babinski and Rose Parylak delivered the Readings. “We are thankful to our Christ the King parishioners and those from the various parishes in our locality who attended Mass today and participated in or our Adoration program,” said Christ the King Pastor Rev. Raymond Soltys. “We wish to thank Bishop Rozanski for his presence. His presence today is a sign of encouragement and inspiration for the love all the adorers have for the true presence of our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.” Rozanski, who in 2005, was selected by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield to serve as its ninth bishop, expressed his gratitude for his inclusion in the day’s celebrations and complimented Rev. Soltys on his pastoral leadership. Rozanski, who holds the distinction of being the first Springfield bishop with Polish roots, shared his pleasure at seeing such a wonderful turn-out for the day’s celebrations. A procession, which included taking the church's Eucharistic Lord, commenced immediately following Mass. The procession concluded at the church’s Perpetual Adoration Chapel, where it was rededicated by Rozanski. According to Rev. Soltys, the Perpetual Adoration Chapel, adjacent to the Parish Center, was officially opened in 1995 and is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by lay people. It is organized so there is someone present while it is open. Silence is strictly observed. Rev. Soltys said they welcome lay people, who can commit to at least an hour a week, to serve as volunteers. Rev. Soltys added that, historically, Catholic churches were left open from after the first morning Mass until sunset or the latest service in the evening, allowing for people to stop in and pray at will. Due to cultural changes, more and more churches closed after the last morning Mass, leaving lay people bereft of a place to find peace and quiet and to have an intimate moment with their Eucharistic Lord. The Perpetual Adoration Chapel was erected to accommodate these needs. “As the religious population aged and declined, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Springfield asked those visiting the chapel to specifically pray for an increase in vocations to priesthood and religious life in the Diocese, along with their own personal prayer intentions,” said Rev. Soltys. “As a result of those prayers, the chapel holds the distinction of ordaining 24 priests over the past 10 years.” Ludlow Senior Center Events Most Reverend Bishop Mitchell Rozanski rededicates the Perpetual Adoration Chapel at Christ the King Church. were treated to a luncheon cooked up by head cook Bob Gadziala and 20 volunteers. Rev. Soltys welcomed everyone to the reception and thanked them for being a part of the day’s celebration. Rozanski delivered Grace and concluded by telling everyone “Smacznego” (Enjoy). Rozanski then received a standing ovation. Parishioner Liz Gromack, of Ludlow, who was in attendance with sons Zachary, 11, and Adam, 10, and Daniel, 8, who both served as Altar Servers during Mass, echoed the sentiments of many in attendance. “Today was a lovely day. It was nice to have the Bishop here with us, celebrating our faith and the Adoration Chapel,” said Gromack. “I was proud to see Adam and Daniel be a part of the celebrations,” • Tuesday, Jan. 13, at 10:30 a.m. – Speaker: CVS Online Pharmacy Prescription Center.

Prizes included the winners’ choice from a variety of stuffed animals.

SCOUT LOGO The Register • Page 7 from Page 1 unit logo until another logo contest is held in two years. “A lot of girls were involved,” said Abigail’s mother. Rebecca Paul, who also serves as manager of the service unit. “We thought it would be fun to have them design the logo.” The Ludlow Girl Scouts thank Luso Federal Credit Union for conducting the logo contest. Public Relations contact Garett Day explained that the logo submissions were displayed in the credit union and the winning submission was selected by Luso Federal Credit Union in order to ensure that the selection process was unbiased. “I felt blown away,” said Abigail Paul of her contest win. “There were a lot of cool designs.” Shirts with the fifth-grader’s design will be sold for $12 to help fund a camporee trip to Bonnie Brae, a Girl Scouts camp located in Otis, Mass. Abigail, who will “bridge” from Cadet to Junior next year, is excited about both the trip and the opportunity to have her artwork displayed. Explaining her passion for the service unit, Abigail says she really enjoys the various projects that the unit undertakes. A recent food drive and cookie collection for a local food pantry was just one such project that she carried out with the service unit. According to Rebecca Paul, the service unit hosted many exciting events this year, including a trunk-or-treat event and an Alice in Wonderland tea. Arguably the most popular Girl Scouts project, cookie sales, will kick off on Jan. 10 with a cookie rally to benefit the Ludlow hometown heroes. The event will be held at the Ludlow Elk’s Club at 2 p.m. For Abigail, the start of cookie season means not only enjoying her favorite cookies, Savannah Smiles and Samoas, but also setting a new sales goal. This year she aims to sell around 750 boxes of the beloved treats. Other fundraising events coming up for the Ludlow Girl Scouts are an “International Festival” on March 8 and a “Fitness and Fun” event featuring hula hooping, hopscotch and Zumba on April 12. Both events will be held at Ludlow High School at 2 p.m. Turley Publications submitted photo Girl Scout Abigail Paul, 11, dons the newest Ludlow Girl Scouts t-shirt with a logo she designed. Paul recently won a contest to create an original logo for the service unit t-shirt that encompasses the three c’s of Girl Scouts – character, courage and confidence.

Dakin hosts �Happy Neuter Year’ campaign SPRINGFIELD – Dakin Humane Society wants you to ring in the New Year by making a resolution to neuter your male dog or cat during their “Happy Neuter Year” campaign. Sponsored by PetSmart Charities, the largest funder of animal welfare efforts in North America, the “Happy Neuter Year” campaign will provide $20 neuter surgeries for male dogs and cats during the month of January. Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population and is safe for puppies and kittens as young as eight to 10 weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. “The start of a new year is often about making resolutions that result in better health,” said Dakin’s Executive Director Leslie Harris. “This terrific campaign enables people to extend that consideration to their pets as well. Neutering your animal will make him healthier and safer in the long run, and it will eliminate some of the annoying habits that intact pets exhibit like spraying and aggression.” This special $20 rate is even less than the organization’s normal low price and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Pet parents who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the “Happy Neuter Year” campaign when they schedule their appointment. This campaign is based on availability. Dakin Humane Society will provide 150 “Happy Neuter Year” sterilizations for $20 in January. Please call 413-7814019 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

It gives girls an opportunity to try out new sports and discover the benefits and fun they can receive from participating.” Participants will have the opportunity to select two sport clinics from six offerings: basketball, softball, volleyball, field hockey, soccer and dance. All of the clinics will be instructed by Western New England coaches and varsity athletes. In addi- tion, recreation time will be made available for swimming, racquetball, and squash. Girls and Women in Sports Day is celebrated nationally to promote the participation of women and girls in athletics. “Along with teaching the girls athletic skills, our goal is to impart to these young athletes the high standards of being a successful studentathlete, such as hard work, self-discipline, dedication, motivation, and then bringing those values into the classroom,” said Jennifer Kolins, the University’s men’s and women’s tennis coach and community outreach coordinator. Participants are asked to bring a personal hygiene product (e.g. hair products, deodorant, toothpaste) as a donation. Items will be donated to a local domestic violence shelter. Following the clinic, the girls and their families are invited to stay and watch the Golden Bear teams in action. The women’s swimming meet against the University of Saint Joseph will begin at noon in the AHLC pool. The women’s basketball team will take on Commonwealth Coast Conference opponent Curry College at 1 p.m., in the AHLC field house, followed by the men’s team taking on the Curry Colonels for a 3 p.m. tip-off.

But Agawam was very strong jumping out to a 4-0 lead and going on to score a 7-0 drubbing over the Lions to remain undefeated in the 2014 portion of their regular season schedule.

In the second period, the Brownies continued to dominate possession and pepper the Ludlow goal. Ludlow had very few chances on Agawam, though they did have a brief few shots during a power play. Agawam sophomore goalie Connor McAnanama was equal to the challenge and continued to turn away the Lions. He would finish the game with his first shutout of the season. Agawam would have a decided advantage a little more than halfway through the period by holding a 30-12 lead on shots on goal. With 6:30 remaining in the period, Agawam got their fifth goal of the game when their three forwards went on the attack. Each would box the puck around the net, but Passerini’s shot deflected off Cam Rivest and went into the goal for the Brownies. Passerini was credited with his second goal of the game while the deflection gave Rivest an assist, his second of the game.

For parents of high school juniors, the process of helping your child select the right college can be a daunting task. Times have changed and it is not simply a matter of just taking the SATs, writing an essay, and determining affordability any more. It’s far more complicated than that. Susan Schatz of Schatz College Consulting will provide a plan of action that starts with understanding how your child learns best and identifying what he or she is hoping to achieve from his or her college experience. Whether you are starting from scratch or have already taken the plunge into the college search, emphasis will center on finding the right college “fit” through communication and support, and, by setting realistic expectations. Stephanie King, Director of Financial Aid at Bay Path University will discuss ways to finance college, the importance of FAFSA, need vs merit based scholarships, and how these factors play in determining the right fit.

Page 20 • The Register •January 7, 2015 & STCC & Westfield State create low-cost strategy for a bachelor’s degree A n agreement between Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) and Westfield State University will provide significant cost savings to students who complete their associate degree at STCC and transfer directly to Westfield State to complete their bachelor’s degree. The Presidents’ MassTransfer agreement, which will go into effect next fall, will provide students with the opportunity to obtain their degrees from both institutions for a total not to exceed $30,000. MassTransfer is a statewide transfer program implemented by the Department of Higher Education. It streamlines the transfer process for community college students who want to complete a designated associates degree then transfer to any Massachusetts state college or University of Massachusetts campus. This new Presidents’ MassTransfer Agreement expands on the current transfer program in place between the two schools for elementary, early childhood and secondary education licensure, by streamlining the transition from completion of a selected STCC associate’s degree program to enrollment and sub- sequent graduation in corresponding bachelor’s degree program at Westfield State, all within a prescribed period of time and with fixed financial rates for participating students. On Nov. 20, STCC President Dr. Ira H. Rubenzahl and Westfield State Interim President Dr. Elizabeth H. Preston officially signed the Presidents’ MassTransfer agreement. According to the agreement, STCC students must earn their associate degree within three years of enrollment and complete an approved Presidents’ MassTransfer program with an overall grade point average of at least 2.5 in order to be granted admission to the Westfield State major of choice (space permitting). Additionally, STCC students who graduate in an approved Massachusetts Department of Higher Education MassTransfer Program with a minimum 3.0 quality point average will be eligible for a MassTransfer tuition waiver, allowing STCC students to transfer to WSU seamlessly without any additional costs. Students must earn a maximum of 60 credits and complete their degree at WSU within a three-year period. “Westfield State’s partnership with STCC makes getting a four-year degree accessible by ensuring a seamless transfer process between the two institutions that is extremely affordable and potentially less than $10,000 for students eligible for Pell grant funding,” said Preston. Approved eligible transfer programs include general business transfer; liberal arts transfer; liberal arts transfer, general studies; liberal arts transfer, fine arts option; and teacher education transfer, secondary. Students in these programs may transfer to Westfield State programs including art, communication, criminal justice, economics, English, ethnic and gender studies, history, political science, psychology, regional planning, social work, sociology, Spanish, and theater arts. Students previously enrolled at Westfield State are not eligible for this transfer program. For those interested in learning more about the Presidents’ MassTransfer agreement or how to enroll, please contact: STCC Dean of Admissions Louisa Davis-Freeman at (413) 755-4380.
