A career
in the
courtroom
A little pomp and circumstance
Recent graduate
shares story of hope,
perseverance
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
LUDLOW – Melissa Goncalves Rua always dreamed about
a career in law and defending justice, right back to her days running
through the halls to make it in time
for class at Ludlow High School.
When she unexpectedly found out
she was pregnant at 17 in her senior year, she thought all those
dreams had to be tossed aside. But
having graduated, ironically
enough on Mother’s Day, from
Quinnipiac University School of
Law, Cum Laude with a
Concentration in Family Law, it
seemed she had proven even herself wrong.
Like a lot of teenagers at the
time, Rua, formerly Mateus, didn’t
take high school as seriously as she
probably could have and after getting into a car accident with her
brother and sustaining a serious
head injury, she was temporarily
placed into special education classes. Through that struggle, she still
sought a career in the courtroom
and found herself shadowing an
attorney at a court house and fell in
love with law. But when she first
met her high school sweetheart at

Once, twice, three
times a criminal
By Emily Thurlow
Staff Writer
LUDLOW – Police have captured the man they say is responsible for the robbery Bank of
America on Cherry Street as well
as the person who called in the
bomb threats to Ludlow High
and East Street schools, and
interestingly enough, the suspects are one in the same.
Through combined efforts,
the Ludlow Police Detective
Unit, the Springfield Police
Department, the Massachusetts
State Police and the U.S.
Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force
have arrested 33-year-old Scott
M. Weaver of Kenwood Terrace
in Springfield in connection with
both incidents that took place on
Friday, May 29 and Saturday,
May 30.
Threats were called in to both
of the schools almost simultane-
ously – one at 1:35 p.m. and
another at 1:40 p.m. – that there
was a bomb in the buildings.
Both schools were evacuated
with students being shifted to
alternative locations. One of the
immediate red flags in helping to
piece the case together was the
fact that all three included threats
of bombs explained Ludlow
Police Detective Sgt. Louis Tulik.
“In the case of the bank robbery, Weaver had placed a note
on the counter to the teller saying
that he had a bomb as opposed to
a gun,” he said. “And to get three
bomb threats in a 24-hour period…we started to think that the
two were connected.”
After an extensive investigation that included writing subpoenas and search warrants,
Tulik said that detectives were

The center was named after
Ludlow native, former history and

board member and state representative. Mullins suggested that the
university build a multi-functional
area and convocation center in
1985 to help expand its athletic
program and assist in the growth
of the school and though he died a

Harvest 5K Run/Walk runs in over $2,000 for athletics program
LUDLOW – Runners from all over Ludlow and the surrounding towns came out to support the 2015 Harvest 5K
Walk/Run and Kids Run.
The event's purpose is to raise money for the Ludlow
High Athletics. This was the second year for this event
and it was again a big success with the donations from
townspeople and businesses that helped them raise over
$2,200.
The Kids Run took place on the Ludlow track and
offered grade specific races with lots of free gifts and
giveaways. Many volunteers from the Ludlow Track team
helped man this portion of the race for the kids and did a
great job. Some winners of this race were Josh Provost for
the 4th/ 5th grade race and Luke Witherow for the 2nd/3rd
grade race.
“All the kid runners did a great job!” said Wendy
Provost. There are lots of ideas in the works for next year
to make this race even bigger and better.
"I always enjoy the run, the competition, and the friendly
race atmosphere,” says racerunner, David Flowers.
The 5K portion of the race was an USATF certified racecourse that kicked off at 10am. Many friendly faces of
Harvest Bible Chapel in Ludlow were there to set up and volunteer for the race. The route travels through the Chapin and
East street section of the town. The race winner was Vee Bunn
with an impressive 19:48 finish time. Harvest Ludlow's own
Joel Bertles, took second place.
This event was designed to assist the Ludlow High School
with their athletics.
“Harvest Ludlow considers it a privilege to help wherever
we are able" says Pastor Doug Gray (pastor of Harvest
Ludlow).
“The Harvest 5K Walk/Run is gaining recognition and
growth with each year,” said Provost. “It is looking forward to
next year and new ideas are already in process! Harvest wishes to thank all of their generous supporters.”

Lesser Urges Gov. Baker's Opioid
Addiction Task Force recommendations
REGION – State Sen. Eric P. Lesser (D-Longmeadow)
submitted a letter urging Gov. Charlie Baker's Opioid Abuse
Task Force to include his legislation that would close the
pharmacy shopping loophole and establish the bulk purchasing of the anti-overdose drug Narcan in its list of recommendations for a statewide strategy to combat opioid addiction
and curb overdose deaths in the Commonwealth.
"I hope you will consider joining with the Senate and
including these provisions in your recommendations to
Governor Baker," Lesser states in the letter. "Together, we can
combat this crisis with smart policy."
In late May, the state Senate unanimously adopted a budget amendment filed by Senator Lesser aiming to curb prescription drug abuse and reduce the state's alarming rate of
opioid overdose deaths.
Specifically, the amendment reduces the length of time
pharmacies must report to the state's Prescription Monitoring
Program (PMP) from the current 7 days to 24 hours, as recommended by the Department of Public Health's Drug
Control Program in a February 2015 report, to assist in faster
identification of pharmacy shopping and more effective prevention of overdose deaths.
Massachusetts State Police reported 217 suspected heroin
overdose deaths during the first three months of 2015, a figure that doesn't include the state's three largest cities.
In addition, the anti-overdose drug Narcan has saved hundreds of lives in cases of heroin overdose, but first responders
across Massachusetts have noted that its price is skyrocketing
with growing demand.
To help municipalities purchase Narcan at a cheaper
rate, Lesser filed a bill requiring a study of different bulk
purchasing options the state could offer. The bill's framework was incorporated into the Senate's FY16 budget proposal, which creates a program for cities and towns to
order the lifesaving overdose reversal drug at a discounted
rate via statewide bulk-purchasing, and creates opportunities for similar programs for other drugs of public health
concern.
"The opioid crisis is destroying neighborhoods, families,
and hundreds if not thousands of lives," Lesser said. "Gov.
Baker and I agree that state government must act swiftly in
cooperation with first responders on the ground to reverse its
direction, and I believe these recommended actions will be of
great help to those efforts."

Petrolati, Lesser join forces to secure
funding in House, Senate budgets
Includes Ludlow Mills
Riverwalk improvements
LUDLOW – Significant funds for public safety improvements on the Ludlow Mills Riverwalk have been included in
both the Massachusetts House and Senate budget proposals.
These funds will allow for the installation of lighting, benches, trash receptacles and historic signage along the Riverwalk.
State rep. Thomas Petrolati (D-Ludlow) led efforts in the
House to secure $350,000 in funding for the Riverwalk,
which is part of the Ludlow Mills Preservation and
Redevelopment master plan and aims to promote public
health and recreation along the Chicopee River.
"This is the third year in a row that the House has fully

age 16, as quickly as she fell in love with law, she also quickly
fell in love with him and ended up becoming pregnant.
funded the Ludlow Mills Riverwalk,” Petrolati said. “It has
always remained a key component of the revitalization
program in bringing back economic vitality to a once
thriving and integral part of Ludlow. I am pleased to
see that the Senate has secured funding for the first
time and will now be helpful in the budget conference."
In the Senate, state Sen. Eric Lesser (DLongmeadow) also worked to secure funding for the
Riverwalk, which was passed as an amendment to the FY16
Senate budget in the amount of $170,000.
“The new Riverwalk will allow the people of Ludlow to
reconnect with the Chicopee River, improve quality of life,
and help spur redevelopment of the Ludlow Mills, creating
more jobs and economic opportunity for Ludlow and the surrounding community,” Lesser said.
But in the end, it wasn’t the life she wanted and looking
into her son’s eyes, she knew it wasn’t what she needed.
“I didn’t want to be another statistic,” she said. “And I
wanted to be all that I could be for myself and my son. It wasn’t
just my life to consider anymore. I had to consider Alex too.
And, whether he knows it or not, he changed me: he made me
have a new perspective and want to keep being better.”
And though she admits it took her a lot longer to do, and it
wasn’t the path she had originally thought she’d travel, she did it
and she got there; little by little. In 2004 she graduated from
Branford Hall Career Institute with a Paralegal Certificate. In
2007, she graduated from Sacred Heart University with her
Associate's Degree. And then in 2009, she graduated from Sacred
Heart University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration.
“I didn’t want to be another statistic,” she said. “It wasn’t
easy. If someone had to study two or three hours for test, I had
to study six.”
Now, Rua, who has married her high school sweetheart, has
not only Alex, but a 10-year-old daughter, Liliana, as well and
lives in Connecticut.
“You can excel with hard
work. You don’t have to
graduate at the top of your
class to be somebody. If you
want something, do it. Go
for it. Don’t let anyone tell
you otherwise. “

TURLEY PUBLICATIONS SUBMITTED PHOTOS
Melissa G. Rua, a graduate from the Ludlow High School
Class of 2000, dons another graduation robe this past May
having graduated from Law School.
“Being a senior in high school was difficult. I really
weighed my options out and I’m not going to lie, I did consider abortion, but in the end, I thought it was something far too
selfish to go through with,” said Rua. “So, I went to high
school pregnant and graduated two weeks before having my
son, Alexandre.”
And though she had a very supportive family, her peers
and “friends” weren’t as on board with the decision.
“I very quickly lost all of my friends,” she said. “I was the
one sitting at lunch table all by myself.”
By the time graduation came back in 2000, she was happy
to have school over with.
“It was hard, it got to the point where it was ridiculous. I
went through an episode of depression and thank goodness
my family was very wonderful,” she said. “It’s hard going to
school at that age –going to prom, going to dances and there
you are, pregnant and can’t do much. I was sad and hurt but I
know now that things happen for a reason.”
“Everything happens for a reason”
After graduation, Rua hung up her cap and gown and
donned a new role as “Mommy.” At the time, she couldn’t
even consider thinking about the career she’d dreamt about.
“I was so scared of the unknown,” she said. “I wasn’t
happy and knew I wanted more for myself.”
Instead, she thought she’d try out a different career –in
cosmetology –and graduated from Springfield Technical
Community College the following year.
The final allocation will be determined in a budget conference committee and signed into law by Governor Baker this
summer. This allocation will accompany $600,000 in private
funding already secured for the project from
MassDevelopment.
In March, Rep. Petrolati and Sen. Lesser brought Jay Ash,
the Massachusetts Secretary of Housing and Economic
Development, on a tour of the Ludlow Mills complex and the
site of the Riverwalk.
The Riverwalk is part of a broader redevelopment of
the Ludlow Mills, which includes construction of 75
modern affordable apartments for senior citizens, and
opening up the area along the Chicopee River to the
Ludlow Mills businesses and to residents of the community. Phase I of the project is expected to be completed
by July.
Giving credit to her supportive husband and her two children, Rua said that she knows now why, as cliché as it sounds,
people say that everything happens for a reason.
“I am very proud of myself and look back and things now
and think ‘wow!’ Even getting accepted into law school was
such a feat. I was the one carrying around a toddler at 18 while
everyone else was at college and partying, but here I am. I did
it,” she said. “My kids were there [at the graduation ceremony]
and it makes me proud to show them that their mom did it.”
In practicing family law and sharing her story with others,
Rua hopes to offer up that motivation and inspiration to others

not to give up on their dreams.
“You don’t have to fall into that slump or be another statistic. Things are what you make of it,” she said. “You can excel

They’re out
to get me
I
’m not paranoid, but
the amount of attacks
that have been
launched on me recently
is taking place much too
often to be considered
coincidental; I think spiders are out to get me. But
before you think I’m
crazy, hear me out:
As a photographer, it’s
a must to get as near to my subjects as I possibly can. And though I have captured some
detailed shots of creatures that may be deemed
heinous-looking at best, I am ridiculously and
slightly irrationally afraid of every single eightlegged air-breathing arthropod.
A few months back at the last place I was
living, I woke up in the morning with what
appeared to be a small bug bite in the center of
my cheek. At first, it was kind of small so I didn’t worry too much about it, but by the end of
the day, it appeared as though I was carrying
around a prenatal pimple ready to inflict embarrassment upon me. But it didn’t stop there. It
grew and grew to about the size of a quarter –
something that I couldn’t pretend was just a
unique beauty mark. And I soon learned that it
wasn’t a pimple, but rather a bite from my
worst enemy. It had gotten me in my sleep,
which in turn robbed me of any sleep further
nights down the road. Where did it come from?
Are there more? Are there spider babies in my
face? All kinds of comforting thoughts ran
through my head on a nightly basis each time I
laid my head down to rest. And just as the
growth I was wielding around with a wheelbarrow started to subside back into what looked
like my face and I felt more comfortable walking around outside again, darkness struck again.
Another of member of that freaky family leapt
onto me, looking surely for skin to prey upon. I
did what any normal two-legged, rational person would do if they had a creepy thing the size
of an eraser top crawling on them: I threw up
my arms and went screaming in circles.
Though I escaped – narrowly, I might add –
this wouldn’t be the last time I would have to
perform an act of heroism to rid myself of such
beasts. In fact, the raids would soon seem endless. The next attack would come a day later,
when one was waiting for me atop my car, staring me down with all 300,000 of his leering
eyes. Another came the next day, when a stepsibling was waiting for me around a corner of
my building at work, slowly dropping down
from the ceiling. A double-dose came later that
evening as I was stepping out of the shower and
a member of the clan reached for a towel at the
same time I did. This is definitely not a coincidence anymore.
The top of the assaults came yet the following day later. A distant cousin of the last monster took this completely unwarranted and
unknown vendetta a step further and launched a
small-scale invasion on my head and into my
hair while I was driving, which went over particularly well on his part…I happened to be in
the middle of a phone interview parked in my
car when I felt that distinct tickling as it worked
through my mane and again behaved as one
might expect. I launched my phone across the
passenger’s seat and threw open my door and
went screaming down the side of the road.
So at this point, I would just like to publicly
apologize for whatever it is that I have done to
the entire spider species and please ask that they
consider mercy as I cannot take looking over
my shoulder or going through another sleepless
night. I’m sorry. I will never look at another spider web the same ever again.

Letters to the Editor
Thank you for remembering not to forget
To the Editor:
We read your Headlines & Heels column,
titled, “Remembering by Not Forgetting,” in the
May 27th edition of The Register and were very
touched by your comments. Thank you for putting
in words, the real meaning of Memorial Day. It
seems as if many people forget why they have the
day off and think it is to travel and have picnics.
Only those of us who have been personally
touched by the tragedy of war know why we honor
our veterans and those who made the ultimate sacrifice of giving their lives, so we can have freedom, on this special day, in May, every year.
When they changed the date from May 30 to
the last Monday in May, it seems as if people forgot, the true meaning and now consider it a long
weekend, and the start of summer. We did not
spend the day shopping for Memorial Day sales.
We spent the day honoring all veterans and especially those who gave their lives in wars, past and
present. We attended the Ludlow Memorial Day
parade, the Smith & Wesson Celebration of
Heroes, paid a visit to the Agawam Veterans cemetery and attended another Memorial Day service in
Ware, during that weekend. We are Sgt. Joshua
Desforges's, great Aunt and Uncle and thank you
for remembering him in your article. You would
have liked Josh and even though you never met
him, you realize how very special he was to everyone who knew him.
You are a wonderful sister to your brother,
Anthony, who has been there and now he has to
live with those terrible memories of a cruel war.
He needs the love of his family and friends, to try
to return to living a normal life. There are so many
wounded veterans from these long wars that we
cannot forget to help in any way we can.
We hope to meet you some day soon, perhaps
at the Sgt. Josh Desforges Baseball game fund
raiser or the next Sgt. Joshua Desforges Fitness
Challenge next March. Thank you again, for your
kind words in remembrance of Josh.

able to identify the phone calls Weaver
made to the schools and charged him with
three different counts of false bomb threats,
disturbing school while in session and
armed robbery.
And in taking it a step further, the
department was able to find remnants of
the fabric of the clothing and sunglasses
that were used in the robbery that had been
burned in Weaver’s previous Ludlow
address on Waz Street.
“He had tried to research how to not get
caught if he committed such a crime, but
clearly that didn’t pan out to well for him,”
said Tulik.
Through several tips and communication with even Weaver’s girlfriend, the
department learned that it was his initial
intention to rob the bank on Friday, but
suddenly “didn’t feel right about it” and
decided to commit the crime the following
day by walking from his address at the
time – on Waz Street, just around the corner from the bank – and then rob the bank.

Tulik said that Weaver, who was set to be
evicted on that Sunday, then went on a shopping spree with his girlfriend at the Eastfield
Mall where they spent hundreds of dollars.
“He definitely wasn’t shy about spending the money,” he said.
In the meantime, the department was
working to obtain phone records from the
cell phone carriers –Verizon and Sprint –
who insisted on charging the municipality
up front to carry the investigation forward.
“In order to get quick expeditious
answers to get that break in the case we
were looking for, we had to fork over
money for answers,” he said. “It was really
frustrating. We are a municipality and we
are going to pay, but things could have
been solved a lot quicker if we didn’t have
to try to overcome that barrier.”
Once that break was made, detectives

INDIAN
ORCHARD
– The
Neighborhood Business Development
Committee chaired by City Councilor Kateri
Walsh announced its first Forum will be held
in Indian Orchard at the Citizens Council on
June 16.
Springfield City Council President
Michael Fenton announced the creation of
the Ad Hoc City Council Committee earlier
this year. The Committee consists of elected
officials, residents and business representatives, with the mission of promoting and
assisting neighborhood businessesFenton,
during a press conference at City Hall, said
the new Neighborhood Business
Development Committee was suggested by
Councilor Kateri Walsh and will be chaired
by her.
It was created "in the interest of re-engaging city government and city agencies with
neighborhood business we're seeing a lot of
large scale development," Fenton said, citing past and future projects including the
casino.
In the course of these developments, however, Fenton said he and Walsh and others
want to ensure that "our small local business
development continues to have healthy
growth and that we can build synergy with
some of these other developments we have
seen to ensure that the entire Springfield
business community is made successful."
The committee includes some state legislators as legislative matters have a direct
impact on business, she said.
The members of the board are: state Rep.
Jose Tosado (D-Springfield) represented by
Ernesto Cruz, State Rep. Carlos Gonzalez
(D-Springfield); former state Rep. Peter
Lappin; Ayanna Crawford, president of AC
Consulting; Calvin Babbie, of the Indian
Orchard Citizens Council; Gennaro Daniele
of Indian Orchard; Daniel Torres of Torres
Insurance and Walsh. The Committee has
also been assisted by Councilors Luna, Shea
and Ward 8 Councilor Orlando Ramos.
Other workshops will be announced in
the North End and Forest Park sections of the
Springfield in the fall.
The June 16 event is free and open to all
businesses operating in Springfield at the
IOCC Building from 5:30 to 7p.m. The event
will have a panel of qualified people who
represent the SBA and the city of Springfield
and will offer discussion on how one may
apply for grant and business loans. It will
also include a speaker that will talk about
best business practices.
Three local artists present
work at Nash Gallery
EASTHAMPTON – The Nash Gallery,
40 Cottage St. in Easthampton is presenting an exhibit of mixed media work by
artists, Donna Beck, Katie Richardson and
Beryl Salinger Schmitt entitled "HAVEN"
from June 12 through July 11. An opening
reception will be held on June 13 from 5 to
8 p.m. in conjunction with Art Walk
Easthampton. The reception also coincides
with the Cottage Street festival, "Cultural
Chaos."
The "HAVEN" exhibit will include
paintings, sculpture and mixed media
works that suggest place-making and
space-making as a primal instinct. "Many
species construct and interweave materials
for the purpose of refuge and transformation," said Richardson, "for example, this
can be seen in nature in the form of a nest,
a cocoon or a shell." The three participating artists will interpret and recreate
"havens" through manipulations of their
specialized mediums. This program is supported in part by a grant from the
Easthampton Cultural Council, a local
agency, which is supported by the
Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state
agency.
Donna Beck is a paper/mixed media
artist and educator whose work evolves
from handmade and surface-designed
papers and pulp who has 230am Studio
located at the Indian Orchard Mills.
Inspired by art found in nature, her sculptures whisper of emotions, the life cycle,
and the significance of home--the joy as
well as the darkness.
Katie Richardson is an artist and educator from Hadley whose work ranges from
large sculpture to fine craft. She uses primarily glass and steel, highlighting the
materials' transformative strength and
fragility, to create abstract, organic sculptures inspired by nature, the body and
ideas of home.
Beryl Salinger Schmitt is a painter, textile artist, and art educator working across
a spectrum of fine craft and art media. For
her, the very first impulse to make a piece
of art is color - saturated, vibrant and
noisy, or harmonious, earthy and calm.
She paints pictures of things that move her
- the beautiful textile of a bird's nest, the
fascinating co-housing of bivalves, or that
moment when the light through the trees
takes her to a memory of home.

had possession of crack-cocaine and he
refused to cooperate.
“This is my first bank robbery since coming on to the detective bureau and I’m especially proud of the time and energy that has
gone in to solving this case by our dedicated
detectives,” he said.
Weaver was held on $100,000 on cash
bail since his arraignment.
“Procedures have also since been put into
place at the schools in how to manage incoming calls of a threatening nature,” said Tulik,
explaining a method that calls are “trapped”

Seniors take their final bow
at spring concert
By Christi Mills
Ludlow Register Correspondent
LUDLOW – The hallways were alive with the sound of
music during Ludlow High School’s spring concert. A crowd
of over 100 people attended the event, which marked the last
performance by the LHS senior class band members.
“Tonight is an exciting concert as it is the seniors’ final
performance with the concert band,” said LHS Band Director
Kevin McAvoy. “Tonight, we are doing music that challenges the band on every level. I am extremely proud of the
work the students have put into this concert.”
The LHS Jazz Band opened the concert by performing
“Hot Sauce” by Howard Rowe, which was followed by
“Count on Me” by Lennie Niehaus and “Super-Sized”
by Larry Neeck. The Small Ensemble was next up to the
stage and performed “Trio for flute, bassoon and basso
continuo” by Frederick Wilhelm Zachow, which was followed by the Concert Band who performed “Second
Suite in F” by Gustav Holst and highlights from
“Frozen” (the Disney animated feature) arranged by Sean
O'Loughlin.
“Tonight means the world to me. Band changed me,
changed my life, in a positive way,” senior William
Thompson said.

encouraged to try their luck by purchasing a 50/50 raffle ticket. Proceeds generated during intermission will benefit band
members.
At the conclusion of intermission, the Concert Band performed “Concerto for Trombone and Band” by Nikolai

Six LHS students to attend
Boys and Girls State
By Christi Mills
Ludlow Register Correspondent
LUDLOW – Six Ludlow High School
juniors will soon be eating, sleeping, breathing and living politics while attending the
American Legion Boys State and American
Legion Auxiliary Girls State programs, to be
held June 13 through 19 in North Easton at
Stonehill College.
According to the American Legion website, the Boys State program has been held
nationwide since 1935 and the Girls State
program since 1937. American Legion Post
members, from each state, serve as program
hosts.
LHS Advance Placement U.S. History
and Government teacher Martin Fanning
selected students Luis Fialho, a National
Honor Society (NHS) and student council
member and President of his class; Nate
Quiterio, a NHS member and Leading Lions
member; Brooke Dias, NHS president and
Regional Student Advisory Council member;
Lia Fialho, a NHS and student council member and Vice-President of her class; Sydney
Leroux, a NHS and student council member
and Jessica Sevigne, a Leading Lions and
Interact member and the Jr. District Attorney
of the Student Board to attend the intensive
week-long program that immerses students in
grass roots democracy.
Luis Fialho shared he is looking forward
to taking advantage of the leadership opportunities offered while Leroux is excited to
participate in a new learning experience.
Quiterio, who considers himself to be a shy
person, believes attending the program will
him to become more outgoing. Lia Fialho,
whose older sister Alyssa participated in the
program, looks forward to meeting new people and Sevigne looks forward to improving
her leadership skills and gaining new experiences.
“Attending this program will expand my
knowledge on how our government works,”
said Dias. “It is nice to know that each of us
will have a voice and knowing through that
voice, knowing we can make a difference.”
Fanning inherited the role of LHS

Sevigne. The students will be attending the American Legion Boys State and American Legion Auxiliary Girls State programs June 13
through June 19.
Director. Casagrande, who presently serves
as commander of Ludlow American Legion
Post 52, served as liaison for over 20 years.
“I select the students based on their academic achievement – leadership qualities,
character, community service participation,
citizenship and sportsmanship. I also take
into consideration recommendations made by
fellow staff members and requests by the students themselves. Often, students hear about
the program and express their interest in participating to me,” said Fanning. “LHS will
be represented very well as the 'best of the
best' have been chosen.”
As program participants, the students will
run for office, learn public speaking, create
and enforce laws and actively participate in
all phases of running a working government
he said. Students will also participate in several mini courses and will hear from an
impressive roster of guest speakers. In addition to that, students can participate in optional activities, such as intramural sporting com-
STCC to offer free MCAS preparatory classes in July
SPRINGFIELD – Springfield
Technical Community College (STCC) in
partnership with Future Works will once
again offer free Massachusetts
Comprehensive Assessment System
(MCAS) preparatory classes to students
from the class of 2003-2016 who did not
pass the MCAS test in English, Math, or
Biology.
The "Pathways to Success" program is
made possible by an $80,000 grant from
the Massachusetts Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education.
"The program is for those who need
academic remediation to pass the MCAS,
obtain a high school diploma, and transi-
tion to post-secondary education," said Sue
Soffen, MCAS Coordinator at STCC.
The next "Pathways to Success" session will begin Tuesday, July 14 and run
through August 20. Classes will be held at
STCC in the Adult Education Center
(Building 27) from 4:30 to 7 p.m. All
classes and curriculum materials are free
for students enrolled in the "Pathways to
Success" program.
Those interested in enrolling in the program should visit the STCC Adult
Education Center in Building 27 Monday
through Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

petitions, writing and publishing a newspaper
and becoming a member of the All State
band; all of which are offered to add spirit
and entertainment to the program.
Fanning said that as part of the program,
each of the estimated 800 plus participants
will be assigned to a “city”, of which they
become a “resident.” The entire group of
cities constitutes a “state.” The citizens are
assigned a political party and each party will
develop their own platforms and campaign
issues. The two political parties in each city
meet separately to nominate their candidates
for city offices, State senate, House of
Representatives and elect delegates for their
State conventions.
Fanning, also a member of the Ludlow
Education Association, expressed his gratitude to those who sponsored the students,
adding that the cost of attending the program
is $300 per student. Members of Ludlow
Frank W. Ackerman Veterans of Foreign
Wars (VFW) Post 3236, Ludlow Education
Association and Ludlow Democratic
Committee each sponsored two of the six students.
“I am grateful to Marty for taking over
where I left off and I am thankful to the sponsors - their generosity allows the students to
take advantage of this wonderful program
which is hosted by the Massachusetts
American Legion,” said Casagrande, who
presently serves as Ludlow American Legion
Post 52 Commander. “I am here today to
congratulate the students and to encourage
them to be involved with every activity
offered to them.”
Ludlow Democratic Committee President
Jacob Oliveira, a 2003 Boys State alumnus,
had only accolades for the program. Oliveira,
who also serves as a member of the Ludlow
School Committee, encourages the students
to take full advantage of the opportunities the
program provides.
“It is a great program as it brings together
civic-minded students from all over the state
who will work together in learning first-hand
how local and state government works. The
program also provides the students the opportunity to develop and improve upon their
leadership skills prior to the senior year,” said
Oliveira. “It is an honor for the Ludlow
Democratic committee to serve as a sponsor.
We wish them the best of luck.”
According to Casagrande, the American
Legion Post 52 has recently experienced a
decline in enrollment, so he is very thankful
for the support shown by the sponsors over
the past several years.
“We are very fortunate to have the support
of the Ludlow VFW Post. They were instrumental in keeping this program alive for our
LHS students,” said Casagrande. “We are
very grateful to them for their continued support and are very grateful to our other sponsors as well.”
According to Ludlow VFW Post 3236 Sr.
Vice Commander Richard Askew, Post members have served as program sponsors for
close to 20 years and they plan to continue
this tradition in the future.
“We are strong supporters of youth programs and activities,” said Askew. “We wish
them well as they participate in the program
and we with them the best of luck with their
future endeavors.”

Members of the School Committee,
administrators, faculty, families, friends and
most importantly members of the Class of
2015: Today is not an end or a beginning. It
is merely a transition from one phase of your
life to the next. I hate to be the one to break it
to you, but at the conclusion of today’s ceremony you will not feel appreciable different
then you do right now. You will be excited
and proud and maybe a tad relieved, but you
will still be inherently the same person that
you were before you walked across this stage
and received your diploma.
That is not to take away from this
momentous accomplishment. You’ve worked
hard to complete your high school education
and you should be proud of that accomplishment. However, it is where you go from here
that, in the end, will truly define you as a person. Throughout your educational career
your teachers sought not just to educate you
in the content of their courses, but they also
worked, along with your parents and community, to help you develop a strong character and moral compass.
As you go through life, people will try to
manipulate and change you to fit their needs
or desires. Strong individuals are able to
resist those pressures and stay true to their
beliefs and values. At the end of the day,
what matters most is can you look at yourself
in the mirror and be proud of the person that
looks back? If not, the power to change is in
your hands alone. Theodore Roosevelt once
stated: “I care not what others think of what I
do, but I care very much about what I think
of what I do! That is character!”
It is hard not to care about what others
think of you. As human beings, we crave
acceptance. The trick is not to stop caring,
but rather to not let those feelings dictate or
change our actions when we know them to
be right. From tonight, your paths will
diverge. You will never again be together as a
class. As individuals you will make your
way, find your path and determine your
future. Some may achieve great things,
change the world, and make life better for
thousands of people. But remember, a good
life, well lived, is its own reward. In the end
we find the life that fits. Be open to opportunities that present themselves and have the
courage to take a risk to achieve your
dreams. Always remember, as Benjamin
Franklin once said, “The U. S. Constitution
doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.”
Congratulations once again on your
accomplishment. I wish you all the best as
you leave here to pursue your dreams.

Class President’s Address
“
Good evening my fellow graduates, as well as our friends
and family who have joined us tonight for such a celebration.
As I have been graciously introduced, my name is Chelsea
Lindblad and I am the Senior Class President for the Class of
2015 – or as some may say, “Best to Arrive, Class of 1-5”. I
couldn’t agree more with that statement. I’ve been privileged
to have a hand in this class’s student government for 5 years
now, and in doing so, I’ve really gotten to know the people that
I’ve helped lead. As a leader, it’s mandatory for me to know
everyone’s name and face, but I’ve been lucky enough to go
beyond such a simplistic formality and have really gotten to
know my fellow classmates for who they truly are. And
because of this, I have the utmost confidence when I say that
each individual, because that’s who we are - individuals, will
have an ultimately successful life from this day forward.
We’ve got some of the best workers, and scholars, and athletes,
and just overall people within this graduating class, and I’m so
proud of that. Some students attend high school for 4 years and
they can’t stand who they’re surrounded by, but I don’t think
anyone in our class can say that about the group of us as a
whole definitively. We’ve got some very amazing graduates in
this room tonight who have done great things, overcome
obstacles, and never let anything stop them from getting onto
this stage tonight. That is something extraordinary. That is simply the type of class we are. We’ve been guinea pigs for certain
things in the education system and have done very well with
those, while on other occasions we’ve broken records. I think
at the very least, we as graduates today have never really heard
a bad word about us come from a teacher; it’s been great
things. If that isn’t even a small validation of how exceptional
we are as a class, I don’t know what is. I’ve had such a pleasure taking on the responsibility of leading our class this year,
and being one of the many people who has assisted our class in
having a fun high school career. Of course, not everything has
worked out the way we wanted it to. A canceled field trip, or

late busses, or a smaller prom venue … Not everything was
perfect, but I don’t think I would have done anything differently, and I think my fellow officers could say the same - to an
extent, of course. It’s been a great senior year, and an even better senior week. I’m very sad to see it come to an end. I’m
going to miss all of you very much.
Now this is where I really just have a few things I know I
would regret if I didn’t say to my class. I’ve learned a lot over
my 18 years, and if there’s one thing I would want to say to
hopefully make this seem memorable it is this: aim for what
you want, and take it. Never let an outside force - whether that
be a person, or a circumstance, or an influence - stop you from
getting wherever it is you want to go or from being whoever it
is you want to be. You may not be certain of what your goals
are yet, and that’s okay, but you are the only person who can
achieve your goals, no one else can. Never let someone make
you feel like you can’t do what you most certainly can. On the
other hand, don’t talk yourself out of what you want. You may
come to the conclusion that you can’t do something or that you
can’t be someone because you’ve talked yourself out of it, but
you can, and you can stop yourself from being your own worst
enemy too. We can gain strength from other places, but
strength will always come from within, and that’s one of our
greatest weapons. Even when we feel lost or hopeless, we
have to be greater than what we suffer and our own resilience
and even the strength we gain from others will always be there
to pick us back up when we need it.
I know, personally, that if I allowed everything that’s happened to me to create doubt in my mind or doubt in my abilities, I wouldn’t be here today. I definitely wouldn’t be this
class’s president, and I’d always regret that. There’s only a
handful of things worse than living with regret, and that’s
something I would never wish upon any of us. It’s never too
late to fight for what you want, no matter how impossible it
may seem. You can honestly do anything you set your mind to,
and you shouldn’t let anything stop you. We can always find
the light within the dark, even when that seems impossible.
That’s the best piece of advice I could ever give sometime. So
live happily, and without regrets, and surrounded by the people
who make you better and those who you make better, because
life is short. And the rest of our lives start today, so we have to
make ours count for something. Here’s to making it count.
Thank you, Class of 2015, and to everyone who’s helped get
us here. It’s been a great run.

ing a structure and named it in
honor of him. The Ludlow
High School Class of 1993
was the first high school to hold
their graduation at the William
D. Mullins Memorial Center.
During the ceremony,
attendees heard from the
concert choir and band that
left a sentimental hush over
the crowd, as it was the senior
members last performance
together. Nemeth also offered
up special recognition to the
current members of the audience that are serving in military as well as those who had
already given their time and
the students on stage who
would soon be entering into a
career in the military.
After hearing speeches
from the Class President
Chelsea Lindblad, Valedictorian Emily Sevigne, Principal
Lisa Nemeth, Superintendent
of Ludlow Public Schools Dr.
Todd Gazda and School
Committee Chairman Chad
Mullin, it was time to ceremoniously transition the tassels to
the opposite side. And just after
Lindblad gave a joyful cheer,
arms were extended and one
senior even stood to let out one
last roar with lion pride, which
the entire class joined in on.

Lisa Nemeth
Ludlow High School Principal
“
First, there are 191 graduating seniors:
36 of those seniors are members of NHS
which is represented by their blue stole; 58
seniors are wearing a gold cord which represents the achievement of high honors which
means their grade point average was a 90 or
better overall; and 68 seniors received a John
and Abigail Adams scholarship. This is a
scholarship that provides the graduating senior with free tuition to any state college in
MA. The 68 seniors awarded this scholarship
achieved advanced and proficient on their
MCAS scores and rank in the top 10 percent
of those tested.
Eighty-seven percent of the seniors are
continuing their education at a four-year college, two-year college or technical school,
while nine students are entering the military
and 8 percent are entering the workforce.
There are over 85 colleges the seniors
were accepted at and there are approximately
38 different colleges they are attending. I’m
proud to mention some of the colleges our
seniors were accepted at and/or are attending.
Another testament to the success of the
Class of 2015 is at class night where 42
scholarships were awarded to individuals in
the class, totaling over 100,000 dollars.
Athletically this year, many seniors
achieved personal bests in their sports. Mike
Goncalves and Tyler Diotalevi were named
to ALL state in soccer and Mike Goncalves
was also selected to the All New England
team along with being a Super 7. This past
winter, Kyle Puzzo attended the Boys State
Skiing Championship for Alpine skiing.
Alyssa Guyon became the school’s all time
leading scorer in basketball with 1576 points,
was nominated to the Super 7 team and was
the MVP of the Senior All Star games. She
was also the Western MA Div 1 Champion in
Shot put, discus and Javelin and the Div 1
Central/West Champion in the Shot put and
discus. Good luck this weekend to Alyssa in
the State Championships.
Off the courts and fields, many of our students excelled in and out the classroom with
what I call extracurricular accomplishments.
Megan Dias, Jordan Murray, Emily Sevigne,
Joe Forzano, Bradley DeJesus and Audra
Smith helped LHS win second place at the
Chemistry Olympiad held at UMASS
Amherst. Bryan Ovelheiro was the top scorer
on our math team for LHS at the Worcester
Polytechnic Institute Invitational. Alyssa
Lucas was a semi-finalist competitor in the
Lions Youth Public Speaking Competition on
“What is Respect.” Emily Alves participated
in the Quabbin Valley Regional Music
Festival this year which is solely based upon
choral recommendations. Lastly, Hayden
Adams successfully auditioned for and participated in the Western Mass District Music
Festival all four years at LHS, All State music
festival for three years and even went on to
participate in the National Association for
Music Education's very selective All Eastern
music festival and All National music festival! He also participated in the Springfield
Youth Symphony Orchestra, UMass Lowell
Youth Wind Ensemble and the New England
Conservatory Preparatory School Trombone
Choir.
When it came time to rally together as a
class, it was obvious that Class of 2015 had
what it takes to win class competitions. They
left the underclassmen looking like clowns in
a circus act when they won “Deck the Halls,”
numerous dress-up days during spirit and
pride week, and ultimately won the Battle of
the Classes.

Portuguese Club.
“These students represent what the
MMWEC scholarship is all about,” said
MMWEC Chief Executive Officer Ron
DeCurzio. “They are exemplary students, athletes and leaders, and we wish them success in
college and beyond,” he said.
As part of its commitment to the Ludlow
community, MMWEC has awarded $34,000 in
scholarships to help LHS students defray the
cost of higher education since the inception of
the scholarship program in 1998.
MMWEC is a non-profit, public corporation that provides a variety of electric power
supply, financial, risk management and other
services to the Commonwealth’s consumerowned municipal utilities. MMWEC is the
operator and principal owner of the Stony
Brook power plant on Moody Street and has

Ludlow Register Correspondent
LUDLOW – Ludlow High School’s 2015 graduating
class, a total of 195 students, gathered together with an estimated crowd of 700 people, comprised of family members
and friends, in the school auditorium to participate in the
school’s long-standing tradition - Class Night.
Students entered the auditorium to the Processional,
Handel from “Water Music.” Immediately following the
Processional, the LHS Concert Choir led by Dan Henry performed our National Anthem “The Star Spangled Banner”.
After LHS Assistant Principal Nancy Kurty individually
introduced the students to those gathered, Salutatorian
Zacharry Frangules took the podium to address attendees and
congratulate the students. He thanked both the faculty and
administration, on behalf of the class for their continued support and commitment to their education.
Frangules, who will be attending UMASS for
Engineering, addressed the graduates, “I'd like to start off
with a famous quote of Gandalf the Grey, my favorite character, as some of you know, from the Lord of the Rings trilogy,
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is
given to us.”
Kurty then shared with the crowd her pride in presenting
the “President’s Award for Educational Excellence” to 55 students. To be eligible for the award, students must maintain a
90 plus grade average for all four years of high school in
addition to meeting other criteria.
Kurty, Assistant Principal Mike Halpin and National
Honor Society (NHS) Advisers Brandi Stratton and Shannon
Ramah then called to the stage 38 students who earned inclusion into the National Honor Society and presented them with
a National Honor Society tassel that was placed alongside
their LHS tassel.
Next, students achieving the ranking of High Honors were

called to to the stage. Both the National Honor Society and
the High Honor students were presented with a High Honor
cord that was draped around their neck.
Following that presentation, close to 30 presenters awarding close to $250,000 worth of scholarships and awards to the
graduating students. Many of the scholarships and awards
have been presented to the students in past years and there
was also scholarships presented for the first time.
The Ludlow Lions Club's James & Mary O’Neil $20,000
Scholarship was presented to Jacob Francisco. The recipient
must enroll as a UMASS to meet the scholarship criteria.
The Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges Scholarship Award
Committee members presented 10 graduating students each
with a $1000 scholarship. The scholarships were presented
by Joshua’s mother Arlene and his sister Jenelle.
“With the endless help and support of our community
and beyond, our family is able to award a total of $10,000 to
some of our graduating seniors to help them pursue their
passion in life,” said Arlene Desforges. “It is hard to believe
these students were only in the seventh grade when we lost
Josh. Thank you Jenelle for being able to deliver a perfect
introduction to awarding these scholarships.”
Following the presentation of awards and scholarships,
Kurty complimented Frangules on his speech and shared that

“right or wrong, we’ll write our own storyline.” It is from these mistakes we will learn

class advisors for the Class of 2015, Mrs.
Chacon, Mrs. Blair and Mrs. Laguerre. I have
seen the endless hours they have spent planning, organizing, laughing and almost crying to
help these students succeed academically,
socially, and emotionally. A special thank you
goes out to Mrs. Dionne, their guidance counselor for helping to support these students in
order to be college and career ready. I would be
remiss if I didn't thank Mrs. Santos-Pontes,
Mrs. Fernandes and Mrs. Iby, the junior class
advisors for all their hard work this past year
and their contributions to helping make the senior year memorable for the Class of 2015. And
lastly, thank you to Mrs. Kurty, the assistant
principal for grade 12 and Mrs. Miranda, lead
secretary in the main office, for all your hard

loved how they really cheered for everyone
who received an award. Tonight they have
demonstrated how unified they are as a class,
and how supportive they are of one another,
all year long.”
At the conclusion of the evening, students
were called to the stage and handed the letters they penned to their parents, which in
turn, the students handed to their parents.
Students, staff and attendees were then
entertained by a slide show created by Class
of 2014 Advisers and students of the Junior
Class. The slide show was a montage of photos starring the graduates. The photos were
taken throughout their high school years.
“Tonight was fun. I liked spending time
with all my classmates for one of the last
times. It was nice to see a wide range of students receive awards,” said Frangules.
“Class Night is a nice way to say goodbye
and congratulate everyone. It's not as formal
as graduation, which I like.”
Linda and Lee Dias shared how much they
enjoyed the ceremony. Their daughter Meagan,
who plans to attend Western New England
University majoring in Pharmacy, received a
Ludlow Special Police scholarship.
“Class Night is special for both the students and their families,” said Linda Dias.

endeavors.”
miss it.” With that said, look around you and
take in the moment. We have thirteen years of
school under our belts, but the idea of graduating
still hasn’t hit many of us. We will soon be going
through so many new and scary experiences as
independent, young adults. But, we can’t forget,
as Meagan McCarthy’s quote encourages “be
wild, have fun”. Angela Catarino quotes Ellen,
big surprise there, and says, “Be kind to one
another” while Hafsa Mire tells us all to simply, “Have a nice life.”
I know that we all hope that, as Alexis
Williams says, “one day someone will love
me as much as Kanye West loves Kanye
West,” but we need to remember that we create our own happiness.
I think Nick DoCarmo really gives us the
key when he tells us “all we have to
decide is what to do with the time that is
given to us.” Yavuz Yanbul reminds us to
“try not to become a man of success but
rather a man of value,” while Joe Forzano
inspires us with, “no man was born to
anything, except perhaps a chance to
show how far he could rise.” Mikey
Goncalves prompts us to remember “what
we do in life echoes in eternity.” Let me
tell you, the class of 2015 has truly left
their mark on Ludlow High School, and
we will without a doubt continue to leave
our mark on the world.
Ultimately, as Erica Mitchell’s quote
says, “don’t live down expectations. Go
out there and do something remarkable.”
Go out there and as Bruno Machado said,
“be a kamikaze in a Maserati,”...though
I’m not quite sure what that even means…
because, as Noelle Picard’s quote tells us
“sleep is for the weak” if you want to live
like an absolute Zach Frangules.
I would like to take this opportunity to
express my immense appreciation to
everyone who has helped me to be who I am
today, especially my Mom, Dad, and sister
Jessa.
Emily McGourty chose a very fitting
quote that accurately describes this class:
“don’t act like you’re not impressed.” This
class is amazing! Give it up for the Ludlow
High School Class of 2015!
Always remember, as Kelsey Jordan said,
“Everything works out in the end.” And, on
behalf of my class, I would like to conclude
with Betsy Barrett’s quote from Sadie in the
show Awkward: “You’re Welcome.”
Thank You.
work and long hours that allowed this graduation day to become a reality.
This year not only are we saying goodbye
to the Class of 2015, but we are saying good
bye and thank you to four staff members who
are retiring: Mrs Carol Bardon, Mrs. Mary
Beth Will, Mrs. Trudy Kellog and Mrs. Gayle
Thomas.
Thank you for your dedication – you will
be missed.
Whether they realize it or not class of 2015,
you are a very special class to me. This is my
first class that I have been with for all their four
years. This is my fourth year as the LHS principal. My first day as principal was their first day
as freshmen. I remember meeting them in the
auditorium on the first day of school during
their class assembly in August of 2011. There
wasn’t really any good advice I could give
them about life at LHS because I was just as
scared as them and I too was told there was a
pool on the fourth floor. But four years flew by
and this class has always had the reputation of
being a great class --, respectful, honest, smart,
and caring. I feel this class has been the first
class to reap the benefits of so many opportunities at LHS – changing the cell phone policy,
changing the tardy policy, experiencing more
AP classes, more electives being offered, carts
filled with chrome books, exemptions of senior
finals and most recently reducing the cost of
student parking. My favorite day as a principal
is welcoming the freshmen on the first day of
school and my most proud, yet sad day is today
graduation. I will miss you Class of 2015. I will
miss seeing many of you pass my office as you
head into the assistant principals office to face
whatever it is Mrs. Kurty had to share with
you. I will miss seeing you all in the cafeteria in
senior section with the complete circus arena in
the backdrop. I will miss watching you enter
the building every morning and me reminding
you to throw out your coffees, remove your
earbuds, or take off your hat. I will also actually
miss Lava Day, which I really never understood, but enjoyed participating in it with you. I
will also miss Kelsey Jordan and Matt Connors
in the main office every morning bringing you
your morning announcements. So our four
years together has ended and you no longer
have to listen to bells, announcements or follow
so many rules that many of you think have no
purpose. You are on to bigger and better things.
Bigger and better challenges. You as a class
have adopted Dr. Suess’s book “Oh The Places
You Will Go” as having meaning to your class.
So I want to end my address with a quote from
his book “So be sure when you step, Step with
care and great tact. And remember that life's A
Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and _ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains.”
So, to the Class of 2015, although I will
be remembered in your eyes as just your principal you will always be remembered in my
eyes as my first class that made it through
four years with me. It has been my honor and
my privilege to be your principal.
Congratulations Class of 2015.

Lions knocked out in volleyball quarters
By Tim Peterson
Turley Publications
Sports Correspondent
WEST SPRINGFIELD—For
the second year in a row, the
Ludlow boys volleyball team wasn’t able to advance past the quarterfinal round of the Western Mass.
Division 1 tournament.
The fifth-seeded Lions lost the
first two games against fourth-seeded West Springfield by a combined
total of four points. The third game
wasn’t as close, as the Terriers
pulled away for a 3-0 victory inside
the West Side gymnasium, last
Monday afternoon (June 1).
The game scores were 26-24,
25-23, and 25-20.
“It’s a very disappointing loss,”
said longtime Ludlow head coach
Fred Glanville. “The first two
games were very close, but we just
made a couple of errors that really
hurt us. West Springfield played
really well and they didn’t make
very many errors in this match
today.”
A year ago, Ludlow defeated
Holyoke 3-0 in the first round
before losing to Chicopee Comp, 31, in the quarterfinals. The Lions
lost in the Western Mass. finals two
years ago.
Ludlow seniors Tristen Lage,
Joe Forzano, Kyle Puzzo, and Kyle
Kipetz played in their final high
school volleyball match against the
Terriers.
“I really enjoyed coaching this
year’s team and I really wish that
we could’ve played at least one
more match this year,” Glanville
said. “Our four seniors were very

LUDLOW—John Carlin has
been coaching the Ludlow girls’
tennis team for the past 29 years.
While the Lady Lions have
played in the Western Mass. tournament many times during
Carlin’s coaching career, he had
never celebrated a postseason victory before this season.
Ludlow’s postseason drought
finally came to an end last Friday
afternoon, as the fourth-seeded
Lady Lions posted a 3-2 home
victory against the fifth-seeded
East Longmeadow Spartans in a
Western Mass. Division 1 quarterfinal match.
“This is actually the first time
that we have won a playoff match
in my 29 years as the girls tennis
coach,” Carlin said. “We’ve made
the postseason tournament many
times in the past, but we would
always get knocked out in the
first round. It just feels awesome
to finally win one.”
The quarterfinal victory
improved the Lady Lions overall
record to 17-4. They also posted
an 8-2 home record this spring.
“Our three singles players and
our two doubles teams have just
been fantastic this year,” Carlin
said. “They played very hard in
every match this season.”
The only senior listed on the
Ludlow girl’s tennis roster is
Kelsey Jordan, who received her
high school diploma, along with
the other members of the senior
class last Thursday night.
Jordan lost her first singles
match, 6-1, 6-2 against East
Longmeadow junior Elena Tilli.
“Kelsey is a very good tennis
player and we’re going to really
miss her next year,” Carlin said.
“She always tries her best in
every match that she plays. I’m
very glad that Kelsey will be
playing in at least one more

match against West Side. Puzzo
chipped in with 18 digs and 10

Sophomore Sergey Vikhrev con-
tributed with 36 assists and 10 digs.
The Lions, who entered the
postseason tournament with an 117 overall record, and the Terriers
(11-7) are members of the North
Division. The two rivals finished
with a 3-7 league record and they
also split a pair of matches during
the regular season.
“Both teams know each other
very well because we’re members
of the same league, which is one of
the strongest in the entire state. We
played them twice during the regular season,” Glanville said. “We
knew coming into this match who

their key players were. This match
today was very similar to our second match of the season against
them, which we lost in five sets.”
The Lions did win the first
meeting 3-0, which was played at
West Side at the end of April.
“We played very well in that
match here back in April,”
Glanville said. “We served well and
hardly made very many mistakes.

Lady Pioneers earn way into tournament

Sports Staff Writer
PALMER - For the last two weeks
of the regular season, the Pathfinder
varsity softball team was one loss away
from being eliminated from Western
Massachusetts Division 3 Tournament
playoff contention.
To get to the tournament, the Lady
Pioneers needed to win each of their
last five games to qualify. The Lady
Pioneers won four games in a row to
give them the opportunity to make
tournament play with a victory over
Smith Voke on Thursday, May 28.
Pathfinder completed their long
road to the tournament with an 18-6
win over the Vikings.
After falling behind 1-0 in the top of
the first, Pathfinder took the lead for good
with nine runs in the third inning.
Smith Voke answered back with
three runs in the top of the fourth, but
the Lady Pioneers scored eight runs
in the bottom of the fourth to go
ahead 17-4. Smith Voke would push
across two runs in the top of the fifth,
and Pathfinder would close out the
scoring with one more in the bottom
of the inning.
Pathfinder, which finished with
only five hits, drew 19 walks in the
contest, and also had two players
reach on a hit by pitch.
Maddison Weldon drew four
walks, had three RBIs and three
runs scored to lead the Lady
Pioneers. Samantha Squires had
four walks and three runs scored.
Stephanie Sansoucy had two hits,
two runs scored and two RBIs
along with reaching on a hit by
pitch. Brianna Peeso walked three
times and scored twice. Samantha
Marty had three walks and two
runs scored. Sophia Hess had two
walks and a hit. Elizabeth Hamilton
scored three times. Ashley
Boudreau had two hits, two RBIs
and two runs scored.
Sophia Hess struggled with her
control on the mound as she
walked 10, but she also allowed six
runs on just four hits while striking
out two as she picked up the win.
Pathfinder drew the 15th seed in
tournament play and was scheduled
to face second-seeded Turners Falls
in a rematch of last year’s finals in
the first round on Wednesday, June
3.

LUDLOW - The Ludlow Community
Center/Randall Boys & Girls Club offers
Balletone: Sole Synthesis fitness classes
on Fridays from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.
When barefoot training meets strength,
cardio and flexibility in one workout, fitness takes on a whole new meaning. Sole
Synthesis is “simplicity through triplicity”
… no fancy moves are used, just unique
twists on foundational fitness moves to get
you started. Then, the easy to follow fitness sequences are turned into dance
inspired, ballet sculpting sequences for
balance and strength challenges. Finally,
yoga inspired sequences will be sprinkled
throughout to provide moving meditation
in order to prepare for more. The idea is to
simply use movements you’ve done for
ages, without extra equipment, and redefine your expectations. You will experience
a proactive workout rooted in functional
training that will leave you strong, centered,
and actively flexible. This session is an elevated functional training program that is
deceptively challenging; take your shoes off
and see what your sole can do!
Group exercise classes are free for fitness members. Non-members ages 18
and up may drop-in for $10 per class or
purchase a Fitness Class Punch Card for

match.”
The Lady Lions were scheduled to face
top-seeded Amherst on the road in semifinal
match on Monday afternoon. The Hurricanes
defeated the Lady Lions, 4-1, in the season
opener on the same courts.
“I’m really hoping that we can win our
next match against Amherst,” Carlin said.
“We lost to them in the first match of the year
and we’re going to try our best to beat them
in our next match.”
The Lady Lions also defeated the
Spartans (8-9) by the final score of 3-2 in a
non-league regular season match on May 8.
While the Lady Lions regular season
match against the Spartans took about three
hours to complete, the final outcome of last
Friday’s match was never really in doubt.
Ludlow sophomore Filipa Martins got
things rolling in the right direction for the
home team by posting a 6-0, 6-0 victory
against East Longmeadow sophomore
Harley Foley in the third singles match,
which took about 30 minutes to complete.
“Filipa is a very competitive tennis player
and she hits the ball very well,” Carlin said.

The Lions tied the score a couple more
times before taking a 24-23 lead, but the
home team scored the final three points of
the game.
The second game was also very
close, as the score was tied a total of 20
times.
The largest lead either team had in that
game was two points.
The Lions held a 1-0 lead in the third
game, but the Terriers quickly took over the
momentum as they led by as many as seven
points.
West Springfield season came to an end a
couple of days later following a 3-1 loss
against Chicopee Comp in the semifinals.
“She played very well in her match today. I
really expect her to win every match that she
plays.”
Martins improved her season record at
third singles to an impressive 19-2 and her
career record to 30-4.
The Lady Lions took a 2-0 advantage
when the duo of sophomore Mariana
Goncalves and junior Emma Gomes posted a
6-2, 6-2 victory against East Longmeadow
junior’s Alexandra Vona and Riley Foley in
the first doubles match.
The Lady Lions then locked up the postseason victory in the second singles.
Sophomore Dominique Alves posted a 6-2,
6-3 win against Spartans senior Mahak
Kanjolia.
The second doubles match was the last
one to be completed.
East Longmeadow juniors Amanda Hill
and Tiana Mackin posted a 6-2, 6-3 victory
Ludlow sophomores Marisa Lombardi and
Kayla Santos.
No matter what the outcome was in the
Lady Lions semifinal match, it was still an
outstanding season for the Ludlow girls’
tennis team. The winning ways should
continue next spring with six returning
starters.

LUDLOW – A 17-year-old male student
has been charged following the recent incident at Ludlow High School that sent two
students to the hospital for allegedly ingesting a high grade of THC.
A few weeks back on Thursday, May 14,
two students were transported to Bay State
Medical Center for adverse reactions to an
unknown ingested substance. After an investigation into the two medical emergencies
was performed, Ludlow Police Detective
Sgt. Louis Tulik has filed a criminal complaint summons request on a student from the
high school, who is also a resident of
Ludlow. The student, however, was not one
of the two that was sent to the hospital.
“Through the investigation, it was learned
that the ingested substance was supposed to
be THC, but is believed to have been a type
of synthetic marijuana,” Sgt. Daniel Valadas
said in a statement. “These chemical substances [have the ability to] cause psychoactive reactions. The students are believed to
have ingested the substance using a “hookah
pen.””
As a result of the investigation, the 17year-old male, who is believed to have provided the substance will be charged with possessing/distributing counterfeit substance and
substance having property of releasing toxic
vapors.

LUDLOW – Francis J. Bissaillon,
