For Davies, each rapid, each rock and even the depth of the water has a story to tell. The group paddle was meant to raise awareness of the unique geographical features on the section of the Chicopee River between Indian Orchard and Ludlow. According to lore of the area, during the King Philip’s War, a group of Native Americans jumped from the steep cliffs along the river rather than face capture by the attacking settlers. From this event, the area derives its name – Indian Leap.

Much like the aforementioned quote, during her almost 40-year career in the Ludlow Public Schools, Diana Roy was not only a bridge for many students, but for colleagues as well. Roy's gift as an educator meant she inspired others to become the architects of their dreams, and as a result, a plethora of new bridges have been constructed by those she touched. It was this dedication and selflessness in her role as the Director of Curriculum and Learning that Rolling on the River Event shows the ‘cooler’ side of science Scouts are recognized, celebrated at ceremony LUDLOW – Scouts were recently recognized at a special ceremony and they celebrated those efforts “Like a Girl.” As part of Ludlow Service Unit’s 2016 Bridging and Recognition Ceremony, Scouts and leaders shined a spotlight on the accomplishments of the town’s young ladies while offering a focus and a special presentation aimed at instilling pride and kicking out old stereotypes. “To do something ‘like a girl’…to throw ‘like a girl’, to play ‘like a girl’…what does that actually mean?” Scouts from Troop 12814 asked in a video they created as part of the Power Girls Up campaign. “Girls can do anything.” And as Ludlow Service Unit Manager Becca Paul recapped the FREE TURLEY PUBLICATIONS SUBMITTED PHOTO Diana Roy, Prinicpal Joseph Langone, and Assistant Prinicipal Mary Dobek speak at the podium.

The naturalistic paintings that adorn the walls of the art case show areas of Ludlow and Western Massachusetts with the richness of someone who has lived there. When Ludlow resident Lois Kalesnik turned 80 years old, she says, she decided to reinvent herself as an artist. Having done arts and crafts for her whole life, the logical step for Kalesnik was to try her hand at painting. Most of her paintings that appear in the Hubbard Memorial Library – she also has an exhibit in the Wilbraham Public Library – deal with local subjects and settings. TURLEY PUBLICATIONS STAFF PHOTO BY TIMOTHY LAROCHE During the month of June, come into Hubbard Memorial Library and view artwork by Ludlow's own Lois Kalesnik, a 60-year resident of Ludlow. “All of those pictures have a story behind them,” Kalesnik said. For Kalesnik, she says, most of those stories revolve around her memories and connections to the local landscape. “I did a painting for my son and his wife of a sugar house,” she said. “It came out really good, so I started painting other things.

This package was generously donated by Karen Randall of Randall’s Farm and Greenhouse, who is a sponsor and long-time supporter of the Ludlow Community Center Randall Boys & Girls Club. The ice cream was named “Susan’s Delight” in honor of Susan Jaciow, originally from Ludlow, who died in 2013 from cancer. Susan’s family and friends described Susan as a fun-loving, “delightful” outgoing person. Susan’s favorite color was purple. James and Jill said they wanted to honor Susan in a fun way. The ice cream ingredients include purple black raspberry ice cream with fudge swirls and delicious raspberry cups. The ice cream is now available at Elsie’s Creamery and can be found on their menu as “Susan’s Delight.” LOCALLY GROWN STRAWBERRIES Red, Ripe and Delicious!

Take-out orders will be available on all food starting at noon. Pichey says that during meetings that took place over the past four months, organizers for the picnic have prepared more than 12,000 pierogis and 2,400 golumbki, 300 pounds of kielbasa and seven huge containers of kapusta. And, as is the case with past picnics, the women from the parish will prepare baked goods. On average, the event draws close to 1,500 people. The picnic will also feature some games and activities for children, although, Pichey says, the picnic is mostly catered to adults. John Steven’s Doubleshot Polka Band will perform from noon to 4 p.m., followed by music from Lenny Gomulka and the Chicago Push from 5 p.m. until closing. John Steven’s Doubleshot, from Kingston, Pennsylvania, performs highenergy polka music for a number of occasions, polka festivals notwithstanding. According to the band’s website, they aim to spread the love of polka to a younger generation. Lenny Gomulka on the other hand, who has called Ludlow his home since 1990, plays in his own “Push” style of polka, combing traditional and innovative elements. “You can just see the crowd building around 3 o’clock waiting for him to come on,” Pichey said of Gomulka’s following in the area. The picnic will be held at the church at 15 Warsaw Ave. in Ludlow from noon to 9 p.m.. All proceeds of the picnic will go to maintaining and repairing the parish. ERC5 seeks a thriving downtown Springfield By Timothy LaRoche Staff Writer HAMPDEN – A thriving downtown Springfield is key to reinvigorating all of Western Massachusetts – at least that’s what a number of members of the East of The River Five Town Chamber of Commerce believe. At their annual meeting held this past Friday, a renaissance in Springfield business was the main point of discussion. More than 235 people, representing more than 100 businesses from the five aforementioned towns gathered at the GreatHorse Country Club in Hampden to discuss the future of the Western Massachusetts business environment. The ERC5 serves Ludlow, East Longmeadow, Longmeadow, Hampden, and Wilbraham. Seth Stratton, a representative from MGM, was one of the highlighted speakers of the day. As the work on MGM’s Springfield project – which is projected to cost $950 million dollars – continues, Stratton says that the suburbs and surrounding communities around Springfield will reap many benefits of the project. “The way to focus on the surrounding communities is to focus on Springfield,” Stratton said, joking that one of his primary roles in the company is helping pronounce the names of Massachusetts towns. “MGM is very serious in understanding not only Springfield, but the region.” The idea of regional business collaboration was central to the meeting, and it was especially relevant to members of the chamber, which advocates for and helps businesses network and promote themselves in the region. Edward Zemba, second vice chair and CEO and president of Robert Charles Bringing ER expertise to life’s little emergencies OPEN 7 DAYS: Mon. – Fri. 9am – 7pm Sat. – Sun. 9am – 5pm NO REFERRAL OR APPOINTMENT NECESSARY. Photography in East Longmeadow, also spoke to the idea of regional thinking. “It’s important that we not only think regionally, but that we act regionally,” Zemba said. “We deserve big picture thinking in Western Mass., and if we don’t advocate for it, who will?” But although the casino was the main topic of discussion, such speakers as state Sen. Eric Lesser, D-Longmeadow, also commented on the need for other large projects in parts of the state away from Boston – most of which, he says, never experienced the same degree of resurgence following 2008’s economic depression that Boston did. In much the same way as Zemba and Stratton, Lesser says the key to developing the region can be achieved through developments in Springfield. In addition to the casino project, Lesser supports the creation of a high-speed rail line connecting Springfield to Boston. Although some critics of the highspeed rail line have called the project “unrealistic”, Lesser says that the project has more potential than it is often given credit. He cited the $3 billion project to expand a four-mile section of train tracks through Somerville as an example of the state placing more emphasis on its eastern reaches while neglecting Western Massachusetts. “We need strong voices advocating for Western Mass.,” he said. “I’m proud to represent all five communities [of the ERC5].” A number of business leaders from the five communities were honored at the Our advertisers make this publication possible.

Let them know you saw their ad in the Ludlow Register meeting as well – such as Ludlow Attorney Carmina Fernandez, who was largely responsible for arranging the meeting. “I love you guys, it’s like a family,” Fernandez said upon accepting her award. Nancy O’Connor, executive director for ERC5, was also praised for her work in recruiting new membership to the chamber. “This is who we are, this is part of the fabric of that makes us up,” Dennis Lopata, ERC5’s president said. “And part of that is Nancy O’Connor.” In her 100 days in her role in the ERC5, she has already recruited 28 new members. “It is easy to engage people in an organization that is growing and is interesting and is strong,” O’Connor said. “If you like to have fun, if you like to celebrate success, this is the place to be.” Speakers from the ERC5 also thanked GreatHorse Country Club for the use of their facilities. The club, which overlooks a swath of Massachusetts and Connecticut, catered the event in their $45 million banquet hall. The luxury club is just one of the projects that attendees praised for its commitments to developing Western Massachusetts. “GreatHorse could have chosen anywhere,” Zemba said. “But they chose Western Mass.” As the meeting and dinner ended, chamber members were guided on tours of the country club. The platinum sponsors were personally toured by GreatHorse General Manager Brian Smithwick.

The young Scouts later had fun at the bean bag toss. TURLEY PUBLICATIONS STAFF PHOTOS BY TIMOTHY LAROCHE Volunteers painted the faces and arm of the children who attended the event. Children’s Summer Reading Program kicks off in Ludlow By Timothy LaRoche Staff Writer LUDLOW – The Hubbard Memorial Library kicked off their children’s summer reading program in style last week. Children filled the upper-level of the library last Tuesday, running around and taking part in the various activities setup for them. Participants were able to make such crafts as Father’s Day crowns, reading goggles, and tie-dye pieces of paper. Most popular of the creative activities, however, was the cookie decorating table, at which children dumped various colored sugars and sprinkles on top of sugar cookies. Maybe it was the sugar that fueled much of the fun, or maybe it was the potential to earn prizes from the raffle. Whatever the reason, children who attended the event jumped at such activities as a bean bag toss – the target was painted to look like a bookshelf – and face painting by library volunteers. Hannah Zaitz, one of the library volunteers, took requests from the children who sat at her story time section. Alongside her puppet helper, Smokey the Dragon, who acted out the stories while her handler read aloud, Zaitz gripped her audience with such tales as those by author Mo Willems. Acacio serrazina Bricklayer/Mason Volunteer Hannah Zaitz poses with Smokey the Dragon, her puppet helper. The duo read children’s stories aloud to a captivated audience throughout the night. At the tail-end of the event, raffle prizes were given away. For the first few lucky winners, the library donated posters to fit in with the theme of summer reading. Later on, the winners received tickets to the Majestic Children’s Theater in West Springfield. Children’s Librarian July Siebecker says the Majestic Theater donated the tickets for the kickoff party. This summer, the theater will present such plays as “The Frog Prince: A Musical” by Robert Kinerk and Samuel Beebe, “A Little Princess” by Frances Hodgson Burnett, adapted by Stephen Petit Financial strategies.

When carbon dioxide’s frozen form – more commonly known as “dry ice” – hits room temperature air, it sublimates, which means its skips the liquid form altogether and turns directly into a gas. This causes the piece of dry ice to appear as though it is shrinking. It also causes the water in their air to condense around it, creating a dense, white fog. This is where the fun comes in. Protist performed such tricks using this property of dry ice as filling balloons and holding pieces of the substance – always with thick gloves, for safety – to a spoon to make it “sing.” “A magician and a scientist will do things that shock amaze you,” he said. “Magicians never reveal their tricks, but a scientist will always reveal their tricks because we want you to learn and understand.” As the demonstration began, Protist invited a volunteer to the front of the group. He took a small bottle from his table and squirted its contents on his volunteer, leaving a large blue stain on her clothes. He did the same to himself, in solidarity. But as the two stood in front of the room talking, the stains began to fade until neither were visible, even on Protist’s white lab coat. Not to break his promise to explain his “tricks,” he detailed the properties of acids and bases. When the blue substance, which is a base, came into contact with the carbon dioxide from their breathing, which is an acid, the stains were neutralized and disappeared. Later in his presentation, Protist demonstrated the color changing properties of red beet juice – which is known in scientific communities as the universal indicator, changing color depending on the acidity of whatever substance with which it comes into contact. The children in the room gazed as Protist swirled a container of the substance, changing its color by adding dry ice. But if one were to describe the mood of the room as excitement when Protist performed his color changing tricks, then it Angelina Joao and her brother, Christiano Joao pose after being showered by dry ice bubbles. Anglelina said her favorite part of the event was the dry ice shower. “I like the way the bubbles exploded,” she said. “It was cool.” TURLEY PUBLICATIONS STAFF PHOTOS BY TIMOTHY LAROCHE Alex Salhany, who used the moniker Dr. Protist, demonstrates the amazing color-changing properties of the universal indicator. would be apt to describe his “dry ice burp” as uproarious. He added vanilla extract to a graduated cylinder and capped it with dry ice inside. From an opening in the cap, waves of fog perfumed the room with the scent of vanilla. And when he walked around the room to spray the fog in the participants’ faces, they reported that it tasted like cream soda. Gabriella Scibelli and her sister Brianna said that the introduction of the “dry ice burps” was their favorite part of the event. Protist described it as a “healthy alternative to soda” with all of the taste and none of the calories of the sugary drink. The cap off the demonstration, Protist filled a candy cane shaped section of PVC piping with hot water, dry ice and soap. The result: heavy, fog-filled bubbles that fell to the ground or popped on the heads of the children in the room. After Protist made several laps around the room to distribute the bubbles, he ended with encouraging words for the aspiring scientists in the room. “Science is all around us,” he said.

Makenzie Mastorakis is our Top Cookie Seller one more year in a row having sold more than 1,400 boxes of cookies,” said Paul. “She’s a determined youth and she truly is the ‘girl to be’.” Paul also offered up thanks to parents and their families on all of the initiatives and endeavors embarked upon in the past year, including collecting 561 pounds of food in the past 10 months for their open pantry project, the backpack project for at-risk youth, flagging of graves in Ludlow, and purchasing two picnic tables for [Girl Scout] Camp Bonnie Brae in Otis.

We’ve all seen something online at one point or another and accepted it as fact without looking more into it, but as it turns out, not everything you see is going to be reality. I was pounding away at the keyboard the other night when I received a notification on Facebook. It was a friend request. I needed a break anyways, so I decided to take a closer look and see who it was from. The inner-monologue went a little like this: Hmmmm…well he’s actually pretty cute. And he’s in the U.S. Army…he kind-of looks familiar…did he just create a new profile? Wait, is that all the photos he has? No one has liked any of them yet…why? He’s really cute. Where’s he from? Arizona…oh I have friends and family out there, maybe we have mutual…not a single mutual friend. His other friends are all women…from the area…hmmm. Oh, and he’s single. Because I don’t just “accept” anyone who sends a request, I Googled his name, location and profession and BINGO! Results immediately emerge. As it turns out, my skepticism from this single Romeo was a good thing. The first thing to pop up was a warning about an online romance scam from the military. Though the scams usually involve online dating websites, they have been increasingly popular on Facebook too. According to the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command, apparently anyone involved with online dating site or receives a friend request from an individual claiming to be a U.S. soldier currently serving in Afghanistan – or elsewhere – should execute extreme caution. Right after I received the friend request, four others came in right after from individuals with lengthy names that I could not pronounce. Some things to look for according to the Criminal Investigation Command, include: • They ask for money. A real soldier will not need access to your bank account, money shipped by Western Union or Money Gram. • Be very suspicious if you never get to actually speak with the person on the phone or are told you cannot write or receive letters in the mail. Servicemen and women serving overseas will often have an APO or FPO mailing address. Internet or not, service members always appreciate a letter in the mail. • Many of the negative claims made about the military and the supposed lack of support and services provided to troops overseas are far from reality - check the facts. • Be aware of common spelling, grammatical or language errors in the emails. • Be very suspicious of someone you have never met and who pledges their love at warp speed. If anyone of these suggested things seem familiar, here’s where to go for help: Report the theft to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) (FBI-NW3C Partnership).Online: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx Report the theft to the Federal Trade Commission. Your report helps law enforcement officials across the United States in their investigations. Online: ftc.gov/idtheft By phone: 1-877-ID-THEFT (438-4338) or TTY, 1-866-653-4261 By mail: Identity Theft Clearinghouse, Federal Trade Commission, Washington, DC 20580 Report the fraud to the Federal Trade Commission on Nigerian Scams. Email: spam@uce.gov. Even though it was flattering to receive a request from some random “cute guy in the military,” it was only virtually romantic. Do you like a man in uniform? Scammers hope you do. Think before you accept.

Dr Steve has placed four basketball hoops in his lot. He has even placed lights up.

ROY The Register gets the royal treatment… Teaming up with a group of Baird Middle School seventh and eighth graders while school was out of session for April vacation, The Register helped explore the city of London. From April 15 to April 25, students visited must-see locations throughout London and outside of the city, including the The Royal Observatory, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Big Ben, Stonehenge and Windsor Castle. TURLEY PUBLICATIONS STAFF PHOTO BY TIMOTHY LAROCHE from Page 1 Outstanding Achievement for English Learners.” Quite appropriately, this award will recognize English learners determined to successfully bridge language and culture barriers to flourish in the U.S. The announcement of this award was made at the recent eighth grade Promotion and Awards Ceremony held on June 6. Langone shared that the award was kept secret from Roy until she heard his announcement at the ceremony. Langone said that as Roy’s June retirement quickly approached, the Baird Middle School family wanted a way to honor her contributions to the district, both as an English teacher at Ludlow High School and BMS, and as the current director of curriculum and learning, since 2011. At her recent retirement celebration, Roy shared that during her career she has taught grades 7 to 12 English in the Ludlow Public Schools. She explained that her teaching career with the LPS began when she accepted a position as a substitute teacher in 1976. In 1977 she was appointed as an English teacher at LHS but spent the majority of her career (27 years) at Baird Middle School. “This award recognizes an English Learner, who, by the completion of Grade 8, has made significant progress in moving toward spoken and written proficiency in English,” said Langone. “I chose to honor Mrs. Roy in this way in recognition of her groundbreaking efforts in the Ludlow Public Schools on the part of English learners throughout her tenure as Director of Curriculum and Instruction.” TURLEY PUBLICATIONS SUBMITTED PHOTO The Register says ‘Ciao’ to Italy… The Register took another trip to Europe. This time the paper accompanied a group of 22 locals on a tour of Italy, led by Jim Martin of Ludlow (far right with tour manager Gary Bowling). The travelers are pictured here at Leonardo da Vinci Airport in Rome after completing 13 days of touring, which included Rome, the Vatican, Pompeii, the Sorrento Coast and the Isle of Capri, Florence, Pisa, Venice, Verona and the Alpine Lake Region. Some members of the group also had dinner with singing tenors in Rome or enjoyed a Tuscan feast in a 14th century monastery near Florence. As one passenger stated, it was the “dream of a lifetime” to finally see the Dome of St. Peter’s, the Colosseum of Rome, the ruins of Pompeii, the Leaning Tower, the canals of Venice, and the beauty of the Alps, to name just a few of the highlights. TURLEY PUBLICATIONS SUBMITTED PHOTO Diana Roy, Prinicpal Joseph Langone, and Assistant Prinicipal Mary Dobek speak at the podium. Roy was extremely proud and humbled by this award, stating, “To say I was honored at having an eighth grade award named after me is an understatement. That this award is to recognize the achievements of an English Learner brought tears to my eyes. I have enjoyed watching the development of students who have come to us from countries all over the world. I look forward to returning to the Baird Promotion Ceremony each year to meet these students and congratulate them for their achievement!” There is no doubt the Ludlow Public School district will feel a void when Roy retires at the end of the month on June 30. This award, however, will be a yearly reminder of how, for nearly 40 years, Diana Roy, was a resplendent teacher, administrator, friend, and colleague, and a strong and faithful bridge to so many. KALESNIK from Page 1 a good time. We had a strange winter, so I ended up painting about 40 pictures.” Two of her paintings that are featured in the library show a tree that has been broken and splintered a few years ago when it was struck by lightning. Kalesnik’s grandson took a photo of the tree, which she used as the basis for one of her pictures to showcase the sunset behind it. “You see so many purples and blues in the tree, which is really phenomenal,” she said. Other paintings in here exhibit show such Western Massachusetts landmarks as the bridge by Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, where, she says, she used to play as a child. She also included paintings of Cape Cod and some places in the United Kingdom in her exhibit. Although she has never received any formal training for her painting – she says she learned to paint through trial and error, perfecting her process with each new project – her work features strong leading lines that seem to guide the eye along the horizon line toward her subjects. “If I don’t like what I have, I just paint over it and do it again,” she said. “It’s very rewarding.” Nature features prominently in her work, and, she says, she wants to create artwork that would allow the viewers to become immersed in the scene. “I paint pictures of the things I love,” she said. Kalesnik’s paintings can be viewed in the art case next to the entrance of the Hubbard Memorial Library until the end of June. For more information, visit hubbardlibrary.org.

Page 10 • The Register • June 22, 2016 Summer reading programs at Hubbard Memorial Library are open to all ages. Maintaining a daily practice of reading during the summer is the only way to make sure readers don’t lose the literacy skills they worked so hard to acquire during the school year. Students often have required or recommended reading, which is easier and more comfortable to handle if there is a structure for regular reading already in place. S ummer reading means enjoying reading! Whether reading on their own or being read to, kids love the relaxation of reading during the summer. The library has programs for all ages to encourage summer reading: THE PRE-READERS PROGRAM for children who are not yet reading on their own or who are just beginning to read, THE READER’S PROGRAM for independent readers in elementary school, and THE YOUNG ADULT READING PROGRAM for middle and high school students. As part of the program, kids will get a bag with their reading program materials, and will keep track of their reading on a reading log, with the goal of reading for at least 42 days (six weeks) of the summer. Participants who complete this goal can hand in their logs by Friday, Sept. 2 for an envelope of prizes, including certificates for free pizza, ice cream, cookies and other treats from local restaurants, plus other prizes, including two tickets to the Aug. 25 Pawtucket Red Sox game! CHILDREN AND TEENS who hand in their completed log by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 24 will also have a chance to win the raffle for the grand prize, two tickets to the Big “E” for pre-readers, a $75 gift card to Bounce Springfield for elementary school-aged readers, or a three-month membership to Central Rock Climbing Gym for young adults.

At one point, in a bend in the river near a cliff, there was even a submerged pickup truck in the water. However, trash wasn’t the only thing that participants saw during the paddle.

The main draw to the area, however, is a view of the falls under the bridge connecting Ludlow to Springfield. However, the rapids prevented many of the paddlers from getting close enough to the falls for optimal viewing. Before the paddle began, participants cleaned some of the trash that was scattered along the boat launch, and the area was left slightly cleaner than it was found.

TURLEY PUBLICATIONS SUBMITTED PHOTO John Giasullo has graduated from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy. SPRINGFIELD – State Fire Marshal Peter J. Ostroskey and Massachusetts Firefighting Academy Director George D. Kramlinger announced the graduation of the second class to complete the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy's forty-five-day Career Recruit Firefighting Training Program at the new Springfield campus on June 7. The 22 graduates, all men, represent the nine fire departments of: Ludlow, Agawam, Amherst, Easthampton, Holyoke, Northampton, Springfield, West Springfield, and Westfield. Among those from Ludlow Fire is John Giasullo. “This is an exciting day to see these recruits complete their training at this new facility," said State Fire Marshal Ostroskey. "This rigorous professional training provides our newest fire-fighters with the basic skills to perform their jobs effectively and safely," said Ostroskey. "Being able to provide training closer to where western Massachusetts fire-fighters live and work has long been a goal of the Department of Fire Services and the fire service leadership.” The Massachusetts Firefighting Academy (MFA), a division of the Department of Fire Services, offers this program, tuition-free. This is the second recruit training program to be held at the Department of Fire Services' Springfield campus. The state bought the former Springfield Fire Training Center from the city and recently completed a $13.4 million renovation and construction project on the 6-acre complex Today's firefighters do far more than fight fires. They are the first ones called to respond to chemical and environmental emergencies, ranging from the suspected presence of carbon monoxide to a gas leak. They may be called to rescue a child who has fallen through the ice or who has locked himself in a bathroom. They rescue people from stalled elevators and those who are trapped in vehicle crashes. They test and maintain their equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), hydrants, hoses, power tools, and apparatus. At the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy they learn all these skills and more from certified fire instructors who are also experienced firefighters. Students learn all the basic skills they need to respond to fires and to contain and control them. They are also given training in public fire education, hazardous material incident mitigation, flammable liquids, stress management, confined space rescue techniques, and rappelling. The intensive, nine-week program for municipal firefighters involves classroom instruction, physical fitness training, firefighter skills training, and live firefighting practice. Basic Firefighter Skills Students receive classroom training in all basic firefighter skills. They practice first under non-fire conditions and then during controlled fire conditions. To graduate, students must demonstrate proficiency in life safety, search and rescue, ladder operations, water supply, pump operation, and fire attack. Fire attack operations range from mailbox fires to multiple-floor or multipleroom structural fires. Upon successful completion of the Recruit Program all students have met national standards of National Fire Protection Association 1001 and are certified to the level of Firefighter I and II, and Hazardous Materials First Responder Operational Level by the Massachusetts Fire Training Council, which is accredited by the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications.

Business Salon Accents celebrates 10 years of style TURLEY PUBLICATIONS PHOTO BY TIMOTHY LAROCHE From left, Lisa Taylor, Joanna Merriam, Nicole Afonso, Jennifer Rooney, Lee Morrow, Kelly Booth and Brittany Hurst. Since the Salon Accents opened in 2006, the number of people on staff has quadrupled. By Timothy LaRoche Staff Writer LUDLOW – When most people experience major milestones in their lives, their first order of business is usually to get a good haircut. Lisa Taylor, owner of Salon Accents on 247 East St. in Ludlow, says the connection she forms with her clients during these personal moments is one of the reasons she started cutting hair, and it is one of the reasons she continues to do so today. Salon Accents, which she co-owns alongside Lee Morrow, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Taylor opened Salon Accents in 2006 after working at a salon in Springfield for 14 years. She also worked as an educator for Paul Mitchell, a cosmetics company, exhibiting new products at schools and businesses throughout the area. Her time as an educator, she says, helped her start her own business. “My experience with that is what really enabled me to do my own thing and want to create a unique environment and work together as a big team,” she said. A bridal shop that burned down in a fire and was rebuilt owned the building that Salon Accents currently occupies. “I remember seeing it and looking in the window and thinking, ‘oh, this might be good,” Taylor said. When the salon moved into the storefront, Taylor says, she was fortunate to bring many of her clientele from her ventures in Springfield with her. “We had a lot of years of experience,” she said. “So that’s what I think helped everyone come here and grow with us.” In the decade since Salon Accents opened, the store hired five additional employees – Joanne Merriam, Nicole Afonso, Jennifer Rooney, Kelly Booth and Brittany Hurst. Salon Accents is a Paul Mitchell Focus store – meaning it exclusively sells Paul Mitchell products, which entitles the store to new products and offers from the company. The salon offers hair, nails, waxing, hair extensions, color and keratin treatments. In addition to the regular services, the salon holds “ReNewvenation” events throughout the year. Audrey Rose of AgeLess Weigh-Less in North Woburn comes to the salon to offer Botox, Dysport, and Dermal Fillers. The next “ReNewvenation” event will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. on July 9. The salon will also hold their third annual “Spruce Up for Summer” event June 13 to benefit the Relay for Life of Ludlow. Costumers can choose any two services for $25 during the event – including manicure polish changes, pedicure polish changes, paraffin facial and hand treatments, brow and lip waxing, bang trims or style refreshes and “Colors of Hope” purple hair extensions. All proceeds and tips during the event will be donated to the Relay.

They lost, 12-0, at Pittsfield Post 68 in the season opener and 12-4 against Westfield Post 124 at Whitney Park, last Wednesday. “We started the Legion season by facing three very good baseball teams,” said Ludlow manager Bob Bohl following the Westfield game. “Most of these kids are first-year Legion players and we’re still trying to figure things out.” The members of this year’s Ludlow legion baseball team are Chris Charest, Zach Chipman, Owen Cocchi, Justin DeBarge, Gianni Demerski, Tim Denault, Nick Devine, Ryan Frangie, Tod Holloway, Pat Kelliher, Jake Murphy, Jake Pariseau, Dylan Presnal, Jake Presnal, Andrew Gianni Demerski grounder. a TURLEY PUBLICATIONS PHOTOS BY DAVID HENRY WWW.SWEETDOGPHOTOS.COM Left-hander Zac Chipman throws a pitch.

The Renegades managed to score four runs with two outs in that frame leading to a 4-1 win in the first meeting of the season between the two original members of the league, at Ludlow High School, last Saturday. The come-from-behind victory was Ludlow’s fourth win in a row improving their season record to 41. “This is a big comeback win for us against a very good Easthampton baseball team, who’s always very tough to beat,” said Ludlow player/manager Nick Frost “We now have a 4-1 record and we’re also in first place in the league standings.” The Renagades only set back was a 6-2 loss against the East fields TURLEY PUBLICATIONS PHOTO BY GREGORY A.

Western Mass walked away with a 2-1 win in a wild game that saw Dan Fabian and Chae Brangman score for Western Mass. “A lot of our players know Joseph and Dorman from their time on the Revs commented assistant coach Dennis Gomes. “I told our team, don’t be in awe of them, play your game and be aggressive. They put their boots on just like you, then after the game you can tell your friends you competed with them on the field.” After that game there was no rest for Western Mass, who had to travel to Westchester, NY to face the Flames three days later.

Scibelli gscibelli@turley.com HOLYOKE – In 2016, it continues to be the same story for PeoplesBank in the TriCounty League. Lots of offense, great starting pitching. Last Tuesday night, the Bankers were at home, and needed only six innings to take out DiFranco Realty 13-1 at Mackenzie Stadium in Holyoke. Peoples would take a 7-0 lead after four innings, and the offense quieted down after they went through three of DiFranco’s pitchers, but the offense picked back up in the sixth inning when they put another crooked number on the board with six runs. When the sixth run scored on an infield hit by Joe Ferry, the game was called in favor of the 12-run mercy rule. It is the third time in six games this season the Bankers had won a game by the mercy rule. One thing that has made Peoples so successful this year is the ability to be focused throughout any type of game, blowout or not. “This is a veteran team,” said coach Fred Perry. “They have been here before and they stay in every game.” DiFranco did have a brief lead when they scored a run in the first inning against new Peoples pitcher Seth Sypniak. Sypniak is no stranger to the pitching mound at Mackenzie Stadium. Sypniak was a varsity starter for Holyoke High School. He was best known for giving the Knights a lot of complete game efforts. He also pitched last year for the South Hadley American Legion team. Holyoke native Seth Sypniak pitches for PeoplesBank on June 14. Sypniak had a couple of hiccups in the first two innings, but turned in a fine performance as he went through four innings, not allowing any runs in the second, third, or fourth. He would be lifted in favor of Matt Kirk, who pitched two scoreless innings, and was very impressive in the sixth, when he struck out the side with good velocity, and an effective curveball. “Kirk joined our team last year,” said Perry. “He has a lot more confidence this season. He’s a really good kid.” After Kirk left the game, the offense TURLEY PUBLICATIONS PHOTOS BY GREGORY A.

Then, in a strange play, leadoff hitter Tommy Bouvier lifted a sky-high popup right in front of the plate. The ball went above the lights, and no one could see it. It would land about 20 up the first base line. It rolled toward foul territory, but stayed for an infield hit. David Clark, last year’s league MVP, socked a double to deep center to score two runs and make it 9-1.

Anthony Romanelli (1-0, Marist) earned the win after throwing a scoreless seventh inning that began with controversy. On the first at bat of the inning, Nighthawks’ Charlie Concannon took a 1-0 pitch down the first base line that the field umpire ruled foul. Upper Valley manager Nick Cenatiempo protested the call, but to no avail after the umpires convened for more than a minute, and confirmed the foul call. Concannon popped out on the next pitch. Setup man Tyler Smith (Canisius) ran into trouble in the eighth when he issued consecutive 2-out walks, but forced Upper Valley’s Brian Mims to ground out to end the threat. Tyler Lyne (Merrimack) notched his first RBI of the summer on a ninth inning single to give Blue Sox closer Sam Donko some insurance. Donko (VCU), the NCAA leader in saves this year with 20, pitched for the first time since his college season ended on May 26. He retired all three batters he faced to earn his first save for the Blue Sox. “It felt good to be back in a real game,” Donko said. “Being out there facing batters in games that matter is a feeling you can’t really explain. I was a little concerned with my location today because I haven’t been out there, but I figured it out and did what I was supposed to do.” Infielders Kipp Moore (Murray State) and Cam O’Neill (Holy Cross) recorded two hits each to continue their impressive starts to the summer. They are now batting .378 and .375, respectively. The Blue Sox continue a three-game road trip Tuesday when they face the Sanford Mainers at 6:30 p.m. at Goodall Park. Alex Alex Tuohy delivers a pitch for the Blue Sox. HOLYOKE – Four Valley Blue Sox (6-3) pitchers combined for a four-hit 2-0 shutout Sunday at Maxfield Sports Complex against the Upper Valley Nighthawks (4-5) to improve the Blue Sox road record to 5-0. Erik Ostberg (Hartford) delivered the game-winner for the second straight night, slicing an RBI-single that landed on the left field line to bring home Hezekiah Randolph (New Orleans) in the eighth inning. “You just have to come up with a little luck sometimes in big spots,” Blue Sox manager John Raiola said. “We were able to do that today. The more you continue to put guys on base, that’s all it takes. An error, a broken bat, or a ball on the line leads to runs. That’s fortunately what we had tonight.” Starting pitcher Mark Washington (Lehigh) allowed the four Upper Valley hits in six innings of work. In two starts this summer, Washington has thrown 13 scoreless Please see BLUE SOX, page 17 pop-up that was lost in the lights and ended up as a base hit. Ryan Franczek scored on the play with the catcher not covering the plate. Zach Goodwin-Boyd would double a run in, and Pete Hogan singled in a run before Ferry’s singled ended it. With the win and a 7-0 shutout of Wilbraham Funeral Home, the Bankers are a perfect 6-0. They were scheduled to face Teddy Bear Pools on June 16, but face their first big test of the season when they meet Easthampton Savings Bank at home on June 17 at 7 p.m. at Mackenzie. Mutiny surrender three unanswered goals in loss to Valkyries REGION – The New England Mutiny had an opportunity to end their two-game weekend road trip with another win after taking a 1-0 lead against the TSF Academy Valkyries. Unfortunately for the Mutiny (4-2), the Valkyries (1-2-1) would score three unanswered goals to ruin the visitor’s weekend plans and notch their first win of the season by a 31 score. “We are on a streak of not playing well,” said Mutiny owner Joe Ferrara, Jr., whose team takes on East leaders New Jersey Copa F.C. (5-1-1) in their next game. “We have put ourselves in a position with our backs against the wall and now we face the top team in our conference. There aren’t any excuses left and its gut-check time for all of us.” New England got on the board in the 23rd minute, as Abby Sotomayor tapped her pass to Rachel Ugolik 30 yards out from goal. The Mutiny veteran would fire her shot past TSF goalkeeper Bjonda Ademi for the 1-0 lead. Nickolette Driesse would almost even the score just a minute later for the hosts, but her shot sailed wide of goal. Natalie Melillo would tie the match at 11 for the Valkyries in the 35th minute, as she chipped her shot over New England keeper Anne-Marie Ulliac as she ran out to stop her scoring opportunity. The score would remain tied as both teams went into halftime. It wouldn’t take long in the second half for TSF to take control of the match, as Driesse would beat Ulliac high on her free kick in the 48th minute.

According to Bohl, all of the Senior Legion teams in District 2-3 will qualify for the playoffs because Amherst doesn’t have a team this year. “Every team will make the playoffs this year because Amherst dropped out of the league,” he said. “We should be a much better baseball team by that point of the season.” Chipman, who’s a tall left-hander, had a little bit of trouble finding the strike zone in his start against Westfield. He allowed a total of six runs on six base hits and issued five walks in three innings. “Zach is a very talented young baseball player,” Bohl said. “I really think that he’ll become a very good legion pitcher in the future.” Pariseau, who’s a righty, also gave up six runs on eight hits over the final four frames. Westfield (2-1), who’s managed by longtime Pathfinder varsity baseball coach Don Irzyk, held a 10-0 lead entering the bottom of the sixth inning. Ludlow scored three runs in that frame on a line-drive double to right center by Chipman, a groundout to second base by DeBarge, and a ground ball single to left field by Jacob Presnal. Chipman also drove home Ludlow’s fourth run with a sacrifice fly with one-out in the bottom of the seventh inning. Post 52 is scheduled to face Longmeadow at Whitney Park on Wednesday night.

Ostberg plays the hero on Stars Wars Night as Sox earn walk-off win Erik Ostberg (Hartford) walked off in the 12th inning to lead the Valley Blue Sox (5-3) to an 8-7 comeback win over the Winnipesaukee Muskrats (3-5) on Star Wars Night Saturday at MacKenzie Stadium. With two strikes, Ostberg drove a curveball past the second baseman to bring home the winning run Brodie Leftridge (Tennessee) from second, giving the Blue Sox their first home win of the summer. “They had been throwing that breaking ball with two strikes a lot tonight,” Ostberg said. “So I was kind of sitting breaking ball there, and lucky enough, I took it up the middle.” The walk-off single capped a 3 for 6 evening for Ostberg, who is 7 for 13 over his past three games and batting .385 for the summer. “I’m having a great time with these guys,” Ostberg continued. “I’m feeling great with my swing. I’m playing with a little chip on play away from holding onto the lead,” said Mitchell, who also played baseball at Granby High School. “I also thought both starting pitchers pitched very well today.” Earning the victory in the pitcher’s duel was right-hander Dimitri Bryant, who made his first start of the season for Ludlow. He allowed one run, which was unearned, on three base hits with eight strikeouts. He also issued three walks. “This was the first time that I’ve pitched in a game in about two months,” Bryant said. “It feels very good to get the win, but I really didn’t have very good command on my slider, so I threw mostly fastballs. I’m very glad that my teammates scored those runs for me in the sixth inning.” Bryant, who was a freshman member of the AIC baseball team this past spring, made eight relief appearances for the Yellow Jackets. He allowed a total of eight runs (7 earned) in ten innings. One of Bryant’s college teammates is Alex Lafayette, who was the Renegades starting catcher against the Bulldawgs. Easthampton left-hander Brandon Marcoux, who lives in South Hadley and attended Hopkins Academy as a school choice student, only allowed two base hits in the first five innings. The Renegades comeback rally began when Nick Garde, who’s started in right field, ripped a single into center field leading off the bottom of the sixth inning. After the next batter flied out, Garde stole second and he advanced to third on an infield hit by second baseman Dan Brunetti (2-for-3). With two-outs in the inning, Nick Frost, who was the designated hitter, drove home Garde with a single tying the score at 1-1. Then a double to left field by first baseman Geoff Frost plated the go-ahead run. Shortstop Jeremy Levertu capped off Ludlow’s big inning with a two run double that landed just fair inside the right field line increasing the lead to 4-1. Bryant retired the first two batters in the top of the seventh before Easthampton shortstop Tim Nieves hit a fly ball to right field, which was misplayed for a two base error. The next batter hit a foul pop-up which was caught by Lafayette for the final out of the ballgame. Both teams left several runners in scoring position during the first three innings before Easthampton took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning. Right fielder Brian Hayes leadoff the frame by hitting a grounder to the first baseman, which should’ve been the first out, but he mishandled it for an error. Hayes crossed the plate with two outs following a double to left field by Todd Vishaway. The Bulldawags watched their 1-0 lead slip away two innings later. The two teams are scheduled to meet again on July 8 at Granby High School. my shoulder a little bit because I think I can really do some damage in this league, and that’s pretty much the plan. I’m feeling really comfortable and happy.” After the Muskrats scored the go-ahead run off Shane Ennis (1-0, West Virginia) in the top of the 12th on a Michael Alescio suicide squeeze, Leftridge responded with an RBI double to tie the game for the fifth time. The two teams combined for 12 runs in the first five innings, but relief pitching kept the game tied until the Muskrats executed the squeeze. Four Blue Sox relievers combined for one earned run over the final 7 1-3 innings. “The relievers came in and did a really good job,” Blue Sox manager John Raiola said. “We walked a few too many guys, but it’s still early, and we’re trying to iron things out. That was a real good character win. Really good fight and I saw a lot of really good things.” Following three losses at MacKenzie Stadium to open the season, Valley manufactured its first home lead of the summer off a first inning Kipp Moore (Murray State) RBIsingle. The lead was short lived as the Muskrats used four hits and two walks in the third inning to build a 4-1 lead. Chris Starcun (AIC) responded for the Blue Sox with a bases-clearing triple to even the score, boosting his season RBI total to nine. The fourth inning featured Hezekiah Randolph (New Orleans) ripping the furthest hit ball at MacKenzie Stadium this season for an RBI double off the center-field wall. Winnipesaukee scored two more in the fifth to knock starting pitcher Alec Tuohy (SUNY Buffalo) out of the game, but Jacen Nalesnik’s (Lehigh) RBI single in the bottom half evened the score once again. The Blue Sox had an opportunity to take the lead in the eighth when pinch runner Brodie Leftridge (Tennessee) stole second and third base with no outs, but Muskrats pitcher Jorge Jimenez retired the next three batters. In the tenth, Endy Morales (West Virginia) worked out of a jam, leaving Winnipesaukee runners on first and third. Valley hits the road tomorrow to face the Upper Valley Nighthawks in the first ever meeting between the two franchises.
