<strong>Lupa</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong> <strong>founder</strong> <strong>succumbs</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>illness</strong><br />
By Christi Mills<br />
<strong>Register</strong> Correspondent<br />
LUDLOW – <strong>Lupa</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong><br />
<strong>founder</strong> Henry C. <strong>Lupa</strong> passed<br />
away at home on Monday, June<br />
17, after battling a long-term<br />
<strong>illness</strong>, leaving a legacy behind<br />
for his family and the residents<br />
of <strong>Ludlow</strong> and surrounding<br />
communities.<br />
“All the family was there<br />
when he passed. I was holding<br />
his hand as he <strong>to</strong>ok his last<br />
breath,” said his wife, Joan. “I<br />
have no regrets. I did everything<br />
possible <strong>to</strong> help him both<br />
before and during his <strong>illness</strong>.<br />
We will continue his legacy. He<br />
reminded me of a lion because<br />
he was fearless; he always<br />
s<strong>to</strong>od tall and was never afraid<br />
<strong>to</strong> go after a challenge. It has<br />
not sunk in yet that I will never<br />
see him again.”<br />
Joan <strong>Lupa</strong> said that on<br />
Father’s Day morning, the day<br />
before her husband passed<br />
away, he noticed it was a beautiful<br />
day out and asked her <strong>to</strong><br />
turn the bed around so he could<br />
just look outside and enjoy the<br />
sunny day. She said the entire<br />
family came over that day<br />

Solutia <strong>to</strong> convert from coal <strong>to</strong> natural gas Eighth-graders honored at<br />
annual awards assembly<br />
By Paula Killough<br />
pkillough@turley.com<br />
INDIAN ORCHARD – The<br />
Solutia manufacturing plant<br />
will switch its power plant<br />
from coal <strong>to</strong> natural gas by<br />
2016.<br />
Maranda Demuth, of corporate<br />
communications for<br />
Eastman Chemical, the owner<br />
of the Solutia plant, confirmed<br />
last Thursday, June<br />
20, that the Solutia plant will<br />
make the switch from coal <strong>to</strong><br />
cleaner natural gas. Demuth<br />
said Eastman Chemical is<br />
making the switch <strong>to</strong> comply<br />
with federal regulations,<br />
namely the “Boiler Maximum<br />
Achievable Control<br />
Technology Rule” or Boiler<br />
MACT, which will go in<strong>to</strong><br />
effect in January 2016.<br />
“That’s the primary driver,<br />
<strong>to</strong> remain in compliance with<br />
the Boiler MACT legislation,”<br />
Demuth said.<br />
“Several years before EPA<br />
finalized the Boiler MACT,<br />
Solutia discussed with the<br />
Massachusetts Department of<br />
Environmental Protection that<br />
the site was strongly considering<br />
a switch <strong>to</strong> natural gas<br />
combustion <strong>to</strong> meet its steam<br />
and electricity needs in order <strong>to</strong><br />
comply with that rule once it<br />
became final.”<br />
The switch <strong>to</strong> cleaner natural<br />
gas comes as good news <strong>to</strong><br />
the environmental group<br />
Partnership for Policy<br />
Integrity (PFPI) and the<br />
Springfield-based Arise for<br />
Social Justice, who have put<br />
pressure on Eastman<br />
Chemical <strong>to</strong> replace the coalburning<br />
plant, which they say<br />
likely violates current EPA<br />
health standards for sulfer<br />
dioxide emissions.<br />
In February, PFPI and Arise<br />
filed a notice of intent <strong>to</strong> sue<br />
Eastman Chemical with the<br />
Massachusetts Department of<br />
Environmental Protection<br />
(MassDEP), saying that<br />
Solutia’s air permit was outdated<br />
and did not meet current air<br />

quality standards. In response,<br />
Lead Correspondent<br />
the Mass DEP said Solutia<br />
must demonstrate how it can<br />

LUDLOW – The <strong>Ludlow</strong> Police Department is now<br />
on the “social network,” launching Facebook and<br />
Twitter accounts earlier this month.<br />
According <strong>to</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Police Sgt. Michael Brennan,<br />
the sites will help police connect with residents –<br />
Twitter gives police technology that will enable them<br />
<strong>to</strong> provide constant updates <strong>to</strong> residents in an emergency,<br />
a <strong>to</strong>ol that was used by the Bos<strong>to</strong>n Police<br />
Department following the Bos<strong>to</strong>n Marathon bombings<br />
on April 15.<br />
“The Bos<strong>to</strong>n Police Department used Twitter effectively<br />
<strong>to</strong> distribute news updates in real time,” said<br />
Brennan. “They found that it was helpful.”<br />
Brennan said providing updates in real time <strong>to</strong> residents<br />
would have proved useful during the Oc<strong>to</strong>ber<br />
2011 snows<strong>to</strong>rm and the week-long power outage that<br />
followed. Although the <strong>to</strong>wn has the voice messaging<br />
system “Blackboard Connect,” it won’t work if the<br />
power is out. Twitter will continue <strong>to</strong> work through<br />
wireless devices as long as cell <strong>to</strong>wers are up and running.<br />
Twitter is a free Internet service. Those who sign up<br />
can “follow” <strong>Ludlow</strong> Police on Twitter <strong>to</strong> receive short<br />
announcements called “tweets.”<br />
“The <strong>Ludlow</strong> PD twitter account can be followed on<br />
Twitter as ‘<strong>Ludlow</strong> PD, MA,’” said Brennan.<br />
Facebook is a free service as well. Brennan said the<br />
Police Department’s Facebook page will have more<br />
detailed posts that can include news items, pho<strong>to</strong>s and<br />
other imagery. A recent robbery in <strong>Ludlow</strong> was posted<br />
on the department’s Facebook page, for example, and<br />
Brennan said within the first week, Facebook subscribers<br />
began <strong>to</strong> “like” the site.<br />
“When you ‘like’ a site, it becomes something you<br />

<strong>Ludlow</strong> Veterans Memorial<br />
Committee members Chairman Jim<br />

the plaque will be mounted on the back<br />
side of the KIA monument in a timely<br />
fashion.<br />
The second task is the creation of a<br />
bronze plaque that will list the names of<br />
individual, business and organization<br />
sponsors who donated $1,000 or more <strong>to</strong><br />
the project, along with the names of<br />
those who served on the Veterans<br />
Memorial Committee. Peacey said the<br />
plaques will be ordered by the end of<br />
this month. The plaque will be mounted<br />
on the U.S. Army insignia granite column,<br />
presently located at the memorial.<br />
The plaque will also include the following,<br />
“This monument is dedicated in<br />
honor of all the men and women of<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> who gave of themselves <strong>to</strong> preserve<br />
American freedom and liberty.”<br />
Peacey said it is anticipated that ordering<br />
the plaque and the engraving will take<br />
several weeks <strong>to</strong> complete. Committee<br />
members voted <strong>to</strong> use monies remaining<br />
in the Veterans Memorial account <strong>to</strong><br />
accomplish these tasks.<br />
Next up for discussion was the<br />
numerous phone calls received by committee<br />
members from area residents in<br />
the weeks following the Veterans<br />
Memorial Dedication Ceremony, held on<br />
Monday, May 27. The requests included<br />
how <strong>to</strong> add names <strong>to</strong> the memorial and<br />
how <strong>to</strong> make corrections on names that<br />
are spelled incorrectly on the plaques.<br />
Committee members voted <strong>to</strong> compare<br />
the spelling errors on the memorial<br />
against the master roster sheet. If the<br />
name is spelled incorrectly on the master<br />
roster sheet, no correction will be made.<br />
If the name is spelled correctly on the<br />
master roster sheet and is spelled incorrectly<br />
on the memorial, the committee<br />
will correct the error.<br />
“The general public had five and half<br />
years <strong>to</strong> ascertain whether they or their<br />
loved one was on the master roster and<br />
whether the name was spelled correctly.<br />
The roster was on display at Town Hall<br />
for the general public <strong>to</strong> review for those<br />
five and half years. We advertised in a<br />
variety of media formats informing the<br />
public of this,” Peacey said. “It is unfortunate<br />
if the name was spelled incorrectly<br />
on the master roster, but if it was, it is<br />
not our responsibility <strong>to</strong> correct it. If the<br />
name was spelled correctly on the master<br />
roster and is spelled incorrectly on the<br />
memorial, then we will take action <strong>to</strong><br />
resolve the matter.”<br />
Peacey said that any corrected names<br />
made by committee error will be<br />
engraved on the blank portion of the<br />
bronze plaque currently on display at the<br />
memorial, and the year will be added at<br />
the end of the name <strong>to</strong> eliminate confusion.<br />
Names are listed under specific<br />
years. Names spelled incorrectly cannot<br />
be removed or corrected on the original<br />
plaque, Peacey explained.<br />
Names <strong>to</strong> be added <strong>to</strong> the memorial<br />
will be put on a waiting list. Committee<br />
members anticipate that it will take close<br />

<strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
LUDLOW – A <strong>to</strong>tal of $650 was<br />
added <strong>to</strong> the “Best Buddies <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
Charter” coffers, thanks <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
Polish American Citizens Club (PACC)<br />
and the PACC Bingo Committee.<br />
On Tuesday, June 18, PACC Vice<br />
President and Membership Chair Lenny<br />
Robbins presented the check <strong>to</strong> Best<br />
Buddies Advisors Tesha Ward, a <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
High School (LHS) guidance counselor,<br />
and Jennifer Bedore, a LHS Life Skills<br />
teacher.<br />
“We are very grateful <strong>to</strong> the Polish<br />
Club for making a donation. It was very<br />
generous of them <strong>to</strong> think of us. The<br />
money will prove <strong>to</strong> be very useful in<br />
our planning for upcoming events,” said<br />
LHS Assistant Principal Mike Halpin,<br />
who oversees the Best Buddy <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
Charter.<br />
Robbins said he was impressed with<br />
the Best Buddies Charter and feels the<br />
Charter is an asset <strong>to</strong> both the <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
community and students. Robbins said<br />
the PACC is proud <strong>to</strong> present the Charter<br />
with a monetary donation.<br />
“The Polish Club members and Bingo<br />
Committee members are excited <strong>to</strong> have<br />
this program become part of the <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
community. We are happy <strong>to</strong> donate <strong>to</strong> a<br />
group that focuses on those with different<br />
needs,” said PACC President John<br />
Diotalevi. “We look forward <strong>to</strong> a continued<br />
partnership with the Charter.”<br />
Bedore said Best Buddies charters are<br />
in place in middle schools, high schools<br />
and colleges in a <strong>to</strong>tal of 38 countries<br />
and includes close <strong>to</strong> 700,000 participants.<br />
According <strong>to</strong> its website<br />
www.bestbuddies.org, Best Buddies is a<br />
nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated<br />
<strong>to</strong> establishing a global volunteer<br />
movement that creates opportunities for<br />
one-<strong>to</strong>-one friendships, integrated<br />
employment and leadership development<br />
for people with intellectual and developmental<br />
disabilities (IDD). It was founded<br />
in 1989 by Anthony K. Shriver.<br />
Charter members appointed LHS students<br />
Mandi Dorval <strong>to</strong> serve as president;<br />
Haley Nemeth <strong>to</strong> serve as vice<br />
president; Arianna Garcia <strong>to</strong> serve as<br />
secretary, and Kaitlyn Jordan <strong>to</strong> serve as<br />
treasurer. Life Skills student Vic<strong>to</strong>ria<br />
Gates will serve as Best Buddies direc<strong>to</strong>r.<br />
Additionally, a number of students<br />
have shown interest or have signed up<br />
<strong>to</strong> be a Best Buddy. It is hoped that<br />
the <strong>to</strong>tal of 17 Life Skills students will<br />
be assigned two Peer Buddies each.<br />
Dorval, who headed up the<br />
Charter’s first fundraiser along with<br />
her mother Lori and Halpin, was<br />
pleased <strong>to</strong> raise $3,500 at an event held<br />
at the <strong>Ludlow</strong> Fish & Game Club on<br />
June 11. Dorval said she is thankful <strong>to</strong><br />
everyone who helped make the event<br />
such a success.<br />
“I especially want <strong>to</strong> thank my mother.<br />
She did all the cooking. I want <strong>to</strong><br />
thank the individuals, the parents and<br />
local businesses for donating some really<br />
great raffle prizes. And of course, I<br />
want <strong>to</strong> thank everyone who came,” said<br />
Dorval. “I am grateful <strong>to</strong> everyone at<br />
the Fish & Game that helped us and<br />
‘Magic Al’ for donating his services and<br />
entertaining everyone with his magic<br />
tricks.”<br />
“I am very <strong>to</strong> grateful <strong>to</strong> Lori and<br />
Mandi for coming up this idea. They<br />
ran the whole event,” Halpin said.<br />
“Everyone at the Fish & Game Club<br />
was very accommodating and very<br />
helpful.”<br />
The group will be hosting their next<br />
event, a Halloween Dance, in November<br />
at the school. They plan <strong>to</strong> firm up the<br />
details when school resumes in<br />
September. They will be inviting Best<br />
Buddies Chapter members located in<br />
Western Massachusetts.<br />
Dorval and Nemeth are looking forward<br />
<strong>to</strong> attending the 23rd Annual<br />
Best Buddies International Leadership<br />
Conference <strong>to</strong> be held July 20-23 at<br />
the Indiana University campus located<br />

about their role as leaders in their chapters,<br />

Dorval said. “It will be interesting <strong>to</strong> see<br />
what they do and what activities they<br />

Dorval said she knows students<br />
will be excited <strong>to</strong> see what they bring<br />

Police search for suspects in armed robbery<br />
LUDLOW – <strong>Ludlow</strong> police are continuing their<br />
search for two suspects who robbed the Brookside Café<br />
on Sunday, June 16.<br />
According <strong>to</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Police Lt. Thomas Foye, the<br />
Police Department received an “abandoned 911” call at<br />
11:37 p.m. on June 16.<br />
“That’s when someone dials and hangs up, but<br />
because we have what’s called ‘Enhanced 911,’ it<br />
showed the address of Brookside Café at 6 Fuller St.,”<br />
Foye explained.<br />
Officers responded <strong>to</strong> the Brookside Café, including<br />
Officer Sean Knox.<br />
The bartender at the Brookside Café reported that he<br />
had been robbed at gunpoint by two masked men. Foye<br />
said that, according <strong>to</strong> the bartender, the suspects<br />
entered the café and showed the bartender a “silver<br />
semiau<strong>to</strong>matic handgun.”<br />
“They demanded the Keno lottery money and fled<br />
on foot <strong>to</strong>ward the Shell gas station on West Avenue,”<br />
said Foye.<br />
The suspects are described as white males wearing<br />
all black clothing and masks. The suspect who possessed<br />
the handgun handed the bartender a plastic bag<br />
and <strong>to</strong>ld him <strong>to</strong> fill it with cash from Keno Lottery<br />
sales, something Foye said is peculiar.<br />
“Why are they asking for Keno money and not<br />
money specifically from the cash register?” said Foye.<br />
“This isn’t a normal robbery. A robber will ask for ‘all<br />
the money you got.’ It doesn’t fit the normal MO of a<br />
robbery we’re accus<strong>to</strong>med <strong>to</strong> seeing.”<br />
There were no other patrons inside the bar at the<br />
time of the robbery, Foye added.<br />
K9 Officer Michael Whitney and his partner, Rocky,<br />
searched for the suspects.<br />
“The trail ended abruptly, leading us <strong>to</strong> believe they<br />
had gotten in<strong>to</strong> a vehicle,” said Foye.<br />
Det. Sgt. Louis Tulik is conducting the investigation.<br />
“He has developed leads in regard <strong>to</strong> suspects and<br />
continues <strong>to</strong> pursue those leads.” said Foye, including<br />
an examination of video surveillance from the scene.<br />
If anyone has information leading <strong>to</strong> the arrest of<br />
two suspects, they are asked <strong>to</strong> contact Tulik in the<br />
Detective Bureau at 413-483-8305 or <strong>to</strong> remain<br />
anonymous, call the Anonymous Tip Line at 413-583-<br />
5655. Foye stressed that the Anonymous Tip Line is<br />
not connected <strong>to</strong> the department’s Enhanced 911 system,<br />
so a caller’s address is not displayed.<br />

Farm & Greenhouse on Center Street, is<br />
now serving “Swirlieau,” a new ice<br />
cream flavor created by the Bolieau family.<br />
The Bolieau siblings – John, 11;<br />
Patence, 10; Dominick, 13, and Faith,<br />
15, – attend the <strong>Ludlow</strong> Community<br />
Center/Randall Boys and Girls Club<br />
before and after school programs. They<br />
were recently informed by club staff that<br />
they were being given the opportunity <strong>to</strong><br />
concoct a new ice cream flavor.<br />
The opportunity came about after<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong>’s Sally and Jim Sullivan attended<br />
the club’s annual cocktail party and<br />
auction held in April. It is the club’s single<br />
largest fundraiser, raising money <strong>to</strong><br />
support programs for children, including<br />
sports clinics and summer camp. For the<br />
second year in a row, Randall’s Farm<br />
owner Karen Randall decided <strong>to</strong> donate<br />
the prize of “name your own ice cream”<br />
for the event. The Sullivans bid on the<br />
prize and won, then, graciously donated<br />
it <strong>to</strong> a deserving family at the club.<br />
“I have a real desire <strong>to</strong> help kids out,”<br />
said Sally Sullivan. “I know these kids<br />
will remember this down the road.”<br />
Each of the four Bolieau children<br />
selected one of their favorite ingredients,<br />
they explained.<br />
“We randomly picked four things<br />
<strong>to</strong>gether. Luckily, it tastes good,” said<br />
13-year-old Dominic Bolieau, who<br />
selected chocolate chips for his ingredient.<br />
Mixed in with the chocolate chips are<br />
John’s choice of “fudge bites,” Patence’s<br />
ingredient choice of strawberries, and<br />
older sister Faith’s decision of vanillaflavored<br />
ice cream.<br />
“It’s delicious,” said Patence.<br />
“The after taste is strawberries,” said<br />
Faith.<br />
“It’s like biting in<strong>to</strong> a brownie,” added<br />
John, who also takes credit for coming<br />

crea<strong>to</strong>rs Dominick, 13, and Faith Bolieau, 15.<br />
up with the new flavor’s name.<br />
“It sounds like our last name,” he<br />
said.<br />
According <strong>to</strong> club staff, guests at the<br />
annual auction were excited <strong>to</strong> see the<br />
new ice cream flavor prize up for grabs<br />
for a second year in a row.<br />
“It’s one of the more unusual (auction)<br />
items,” said Direc<strong>to</strong>r of<br />
Development Marty Walters. “There was<br />
a bidding frenzy.”<br />
The club’s Executive Direc<strong>to</strong>r<br />
Jennifer Aldworth described this year’s<br />
auction as “fantastic.”<br />
“This year we raised over $58,000<br />
thanks <strong>to</strong> people like the Randall family<br />
who help sponsor the event and donate<br />
items like this,” she said.<br />
“And how heartwarming it was <strong>to</strong> get<br />
a phone call from Sally Sullivan asking<br />
me <strong>to</strong> give the (ice cream) prize <strong>to</strong> a family<br />
who deserves some recognition,”<br />
Aldworth added.<br />
Randall, who also attended the<br />
fundraising event, said she was happy <strong>to</strong><br />
bring back the new ice cream flavor<br />
prize, which netted $900 – twice the<br />
amount it raised at last year’s auction.<br />
“The whole point was <strong>to</strong> support the<br />
club. (The ice cream prize) attracted a lot<br />
of interest last year. We were just so<br />
pleased with how much money it raised,”<br />
she said.<br />
“And it gives us a new flavor,”<br />
Randall added.<br />
Last year’s ice cream flavor,<br />
“Moochew-Burtch,” created by <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
residents George and Judi Burtch, is still<br />
on the menu.<br />
“It’s developed a following,” Randall<br />
said.<br />
Cus<strong>to</strong>mers can now try “Swirlieau” at<br />
Elsie’s Creamery, open daily through<br />
September from 11 a.m. - 9 p.m.<br />

Happy 30th<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
Senior Center<br />
The <strong>Ludlow</strong> Senior Center celebrates its 30th<br />
year this week with daily “mystery” activities,<br />
but it’s no mystery that the Senior<br />
Center is a community hub of purposeful and<br />
innovative activity, thanks <strong>to</strong> an inventive staff and<br />
a community of seniors who are demanding more<br />
of themselves in their “golden years.”<br />
Senior Center Executive Direc<strong>to</strong>r Jodi Zepke celebrated<br />
11 years at the Senior Center in April.<br />
Under her tutelage, the center has expanded its programs,<br />
and each week, the Senior Center presents a<br />
laundry list of activities <strong>to</strong> stimulate the minds and<br />
bodies of <strong>Ludlow</strong> seniors, including chair volleyball,<br />
Wii Bowling, Bingo, Trivial Pursuit, shopping<br />
<strong>to</strong>urs, movie time, a multitude of craft projects and<br />
so much more. There is the Senior Center Choral<br />
Group, the Digital Pho<strong>to</strong> Club run by Ray Bolek,<br />
Jewelry with Sandy Merrill, the weekly “Speaker’s<br />
Bureau,” which hosts guest speakers who are<br />
experts on <strong>to</strong>pics important <strong>to</strong> seniors, the TRIAD<br />
Coffee Hour, the Veterans Discussion Group, and<br />
support groups, like Alzheimer’s Caregivers.<br />
No one rocks a holiday like the Senior Center.<br />
We should know – we are lucky <strong>to</strong> receive great<br />
pho<strong>to</strong>s from the Senior Center <strong>to</strong> share with<br />
readers. From Christmas <strong>to</strong> St. Patrick’s Day,<br />
<strong>to</strong> Halloween, Valentine’s Day, Mother and<br />
Father’s Days and more, seniors are always<br />
ready for a holiday celebration, and the Senior<br />
Center is there <strong>to</strong> oblige.<br />
The Senior Center helps <strong>to</strong> keep seniors on the<br />
move with its Van Transportation program. For<br />
nominal fees, the van will bring seniors <strong>to</strong> and from<br />
the center, help get them <strong>to</strong> their appointments, even<br />
take them <strong>to</strong> the Big Y for some grocery shopping.<br />
Kathy LoFland cooks up delicious and nutritious<br />
lunches for seniors Monday through Friday,<br />
which always includes a main dish, vegetables,<br />
bread, dessert, coffee or tea, for only $2! The lunch<br />
program is open <strong>to</strong> seniors 60 and older and people<br />
with disabilities.<br />
And the <strong>Ludlow</strong> Council on Aging Outreach<br />
Program assists seniors with understanding the benefits<br />
that are available <strong>to</strong> them, including fuel assistance,<br />
food stamps, cable, electricity and phone discounts,<br />
Mass Health and Prescription Advantage,<br />
Social Security and housing.<br />
In addition <strong>to</strong> Zepke and LoFland, we commend<br />
the great staff at the <strong>Ludlow</strong> Senior Center,<br />
which includes Program Coordina<strong>to</strong>r Carla<br />
Roberts and Activities Direc<strong>to</strong>r Sarah Gmeiner,<br />
Van Drivers Matt Pszeniczny and Jose Afonso,<br />
Outreach Coordina<strong>to</strong>r Debbie Johnson, Dispatcher<br />
Shawn Simonds, Bookkeeper Betty Harackiewicz,<br />
Naomi White, who mans the front desk, and Susan<br />
Moffett in maintenance.<br />

Readers Digest has always maintained that<br />
“Laughter is the Best Medicine.” It might help if we<br />
knew how <strong>to</strong> get it when we needed it. How convenient<br />
it would be if we could call our doc<strong>to</strong>r, and his<br />
response would be, “Take two laugh pills and call me in<br />
the morning.”<br />
From a scientific point of view, we do know that<br />
laughter releases endorphins, the body’s natural feel<br />
good chemicals, promoting an overall sense of wellbeing<br />
and can even temporarily relieve pain. It protects<br />
the heart, improves the function of blood vessels and<br />
increases blood flow and actually relieves tension and<br />
relaxes muscles.<br />
Comedians don’t concern themselves with the<br />
medicinal qualities of laughter. They need feedback<br />
from their attempts at comedy. Being funny is not an<br />
easy task. That mysterious process that our brain goes<br />
through that triggers our laugh mechanism (wherever<br />
that might be) has yet <strong>to</strong> be explained.<br />
Silent movie comics, who depended entirely on the<br />
visual, were extremely successful at tickling the funny<br />
bone. Body movements and facial expressions were the<br />
<strong>to</strong>ols of the day. Mack Sennet’s Keys<strong>to</strong>ne Cops, Charlie<br />
Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Laurel and Hardy were serious<br />
producers of the belly laugh. Their comedy was<br />
timeless.<br />
Closer <strong>to</strong> our times was the wonderful Steve Allen<br />
Show with so many silly skits that could break you up.<br />
There were so many women comedians that contributed<br />
<strong>to</strong> a good healthy laugh that will never be forgotten.<br />
Phyllis Diller was a killer, and just thinking of Carol<br />
Burnett and her crew puts a smile on my face. Thank<br />
our lucky stars for Lucy and Ethel. There was a show in<br />
the 70s that didn’t last very long, but made my family<br />
go in<strong>to</strong> hysterics. It was a Marty Feldman Show.<br />
Another one of my all-time favorites was Sam<br />
Levinson, and standup comedian on Ed Sullivan’s<br />
Show. His routine created more of a warm “chuckle”<br />
than a belly laugh, but audiences loved him. Bill<br />
Cosby’s recollection of his childhood remains a classic.<br />
These were heroes, of a sort, for without realizing,<br />
gave millions a brighter outlook on life by momentarily<br />
lifting the weight of the world off our shoulders.<br />
Sadly, the talent for comedy has been watered down,<br />
and the great comedy shows that we remember no<br />
longer exist. Vulgarity reared its ugly head and tainted<br />
and demoralized our comedians.<br />
Every season I await the arrival of new programming<br />
on television and say a little prayer, hoping a new<br />
generation of comedians can make us all laugh again<br />
without the fear of embarrassment.<br />
If you have difficulty<br />
laughing, try training your<br />
face <strong>to</strong> smile once in a<br />
while – it’s a beginning.<br />

Church’s former pas<strong>to</strong>r Rev. Thomas<br />
Carl<strong>to</strong>n left, and the church entered<br />
a three-year period in which Rev.<br />
Jeff Erb served as the interim pas<strong>to</strong>r.<br />
During that time, the church created<br />
a profile and began the interviewing<br />
process.<br />
Loudon, who was serving at<br />
Housa<strong>to</strong>nic Congregational Church, said<br />
it was Union Church’s “real open and<br />
honest answers” in its profile that attracted<br />
her <strong>to</strong> the church.<br />
“And I wanted <strong>to</strong> stay in<br />
Massachusetts,” she added.<br />
Loudon was born and raised in<br />
Vermont. After attending the University<br />
of Vermont, she spent 25 years teaching<br />
high school mathematics. When she<br />
retired from teaching, she decided <strong>to</strong><br />
move her family <strong>to</strong> New<strong>to</strong>n and go <strong>to</strong><br />
seminary school.<br />
“I got burnt out with teaching, (especially)<br />
with the curriculum changes,”<br />
said Loudon.<br />
“At the same time, we got a new pas<strong>to</strong>r<br />
at the church where I was worshiping,”<br />
she continued. “He planted the<br />
seed that I may want <strong>to</strong> try ministry. I<br />
finally gave in.”<br />
In 2007, Loudon graduated from<br />
Andover New<strong>to</strong>n Theological School, an<br />
institution that she feels “gears a lot <strong>to</strong><br />
the part-time, second career students.”<br />
About 60 percent of its graduates are<br />
women, she pointed out.<br />
Loudon completed the course of<br />
study there in about 4 1/2 years, enough<br />
time <strong>to</strong> allow her youngest son David <strong>to</strong><br />
finish school. After graduation, she<br />
began working in Housa<strong>to</strong>nic<br />
Congregational Church before being<br />
ordained in 2011.<br />
The Union Church of Christ in<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> is a congregation church and<br />
member of the United Church of Christ,<br />
Loudon explained, describing it as a<br />
“progressive reformed church” with<br />
“very open, progressive, left-of-center<br />
A Look Back at 1960<br />
theology.” Within the denomination, well<br />
over 50 percent of the ordained ministers<br />
are women, Loudon noted.<br />
“It was one of the first <strong>to</strong> ordain<br />
women, accept gay and lesbian and<br />
transgender folks, and this church<br />
reflects that,” she said.<br />
Not only is Loudon one of few<br />
ordained women in the area, “I think I<br />
am the first lesbian minister, <strong>to</strong>o,” she<br />
added.<br />
Loudon extends the same open-arm<br />
greeting she and her family – wife<br />
Gayle, sons Tom and David and stepson<br />
Adam – received from Union Church of<br />
Christ <strong>to</strong> others.<br />
“I think this church can fill a<br />
niche…for those who may have been<br />
scarred by the church. I want (people) <strong>to</strong><br />
know that will not happen here. They are<br />
welcome <strong>to</strong> come be who they are with<br />
open arms,” said Loudon.<br />
Union Church’s new minister<br />
What IS IT?<br />
Mystery pho<strong>to</strong>s<br />
described some of her favorite parts of<br />
the profession.<br />
“I love leading worship, but that’s a<br />
given,” she said, adding that she also<br />
enjoys visiting the sick and the elderly.<br />
“One of the holiest experiences<br />
I’ve had was holding the hand of a<br />
lady while she passed away,” Loudon<br />
said.<br />
Loudon will serve the 115-member<br />
congregation part-time and lead services<br />
held each Sunday at 10 a.m.<br />
Loudon already has future goals in<br />
mind for the church, which also runs a<br />
small Sunday school program and<br />
nursery program. Loudon said she’d<br />
like <strong>to</strong> expand the youth programs<br />
there and start some type of adult spiritual<br />
group.<br />

quality in Springfield.”<br />
“It’s good that Solutia has decided<br />
<strong>to</strong> switch <strong>to</strong> natural gas and not<br />
engage in a protracted fight <strong>to</strong> continue<br />
burning coal,” said Arise for Social<br />
Justice Direc<strong>to</strong>r Michaelann Bewsee in<br />
the statement released June 19.<br />
“However, we still want <strong>to</strong> see the<br />
company take the necessary steps <strong>to</strong><br />
reduce its emissions from coal-burning<br />
prior <strong>to</strong> 2016 when the switch <strong>to</strong> gas is<br />
complete.”<br />
Community activist Bill Gibson initiated<br />
the campaign against coal-burning<br />
at Solutia and submitted a letter and<br />
public petition <strong>to</strong> Solutia earlier this<br />
month.<br />
“We collected hundreds of signatures<br />
from community members requesting<br />
that Solutia s<strong>to</strong>p burning coal and live<br />
up <strong>to</strong> the environmental goals Eastman<br />
posts on their website,” said Gibson in<br />
the news release. “This is an important<br />
step <strong>to</strong>ward Solutia being a better<br />
neighbor in the Springfield community.”<br />
Demuth said Eastman Chemical had<br />
received letters from both PFPI and<br />
Arise for Social Justice, and that was<br />
taken in<strong>to</strong> consideration in the decision<br />
<strong>to</strong> move from coal <strong>to</strong> natural gas,<br />
along with cost and “Eastman’s commitment<br />
<strong>to</strong> protecting air quality, but<br />
the primary driver was <strong>to</strong> be in compliance<br />
with federal legislation,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Eastman strives <strong>to</strong> be a good citizen<br />
wherever it operates in the world,<br />
including in Springfield. Part of being a<br />
good citizen includes listening <strong>to</strong> your<br />
neighbors views. In this instance,<br />
Eastman received several requests that<br />
the Indian Orchard facility convert its<br />
coal-fired boiler <strong>to</strong> natural gas combustion,”<br />
Demuth continued. “We are<br />
delighted that the plans Solutia began<br />
putting in place several years ago <strong>to</strong> make<br />
that conversion now align with the desires<br />
of many of our neighbors. This is truly a<br />
win for all involved – Eastman, our<br />
employees, our neighbors, and our environment.”<br />
Demuth said work <strong>to</strong> convert from<br />
coal <strong>to</strong> natural gas will begin in 2014.<br />
She said the process will take roughly<br />
two and a half years <strong>to</strong> complete, meeting<br />
the EPA’s compliance deadline of<br />
Jan. 31, 2016.<br />
LUDLOW – Swooping on<strong>to</strong> the lawn for<br />
a summer picnic concert comes Li’l BeeDee<br />
& the Doo-Rites, who promise <strong>to</strong> “do ya<br />
right” on Sunday, July 14, from 7 <strong>to</strong> 8:30<br />
p.m., at the Mack Donnelly Gazebo in<br />
Memorial Park.<br />
Li’l BeeDee & the Doo-Rites, a rockabilly,<br />
rhythm & blues combo, features Betsy-<br />
Dawn Williams (Li’l BeeDee), who is known<br />
for her membership in honky<strong>to</strong>nk band Girl<br />
Howdy. This incarnation of Williams’musical<br />
persona is centered on old-school rhythm<br />
blues with an infusion of rockabilly. In 2004<br />
European indie-roots label El Toro Records<br />
released her first CD “Rocket Girl” showcasing<br />
Williams’ songwriting, which has earned<br />
rave reviews worldwide.<br />
Li’l BeeDee’s backing band – the Doo-<br />
Rites - consists of Jeff Porter on piano and<br />
Bos<strong>to</strong>n’s own Frankie Blandino. <strong>Ludlow</strong> resident<br />
Mark Neveu, on bass guitar, was in a<br />
former band with Williams, “American<br />
Roadhouse” and was a member of the<br />
nationally <strong>to</strong>uring band “Changes in<br />
Latitudes.” In the drum chair is Doug Plavin,<br />
who also plays with “Planet Zydeco” and<br />
“Surly Temple.”<br />
The concert is part of the <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
Summer Concert series and is free and open<br />
<strong>to</strong> the public.<br />

studying the feasibility and affordability<br />
of a new Veterans Memorial,”<br />
Couture said. “The committee was<br />
empowered <strong>to</strong> complete the tasks of<br />
finding a location, creating the design,<br />
<strong>to</strong> obtain funding and determine who<br />
<strong>to</strong> honor. We have completed those<br />
tasks. The memorial is built. We have<br />
done our job.”<br />
Committee members asked Villano<br />
<strong>to</strong> look in<strong>to</strong> whether the charge and<br />
charter should be disbanded <strong>to</strong> allow<br />
for a new committee <strong>to</strong> be formed or<br />
whether the present charge and charter<br />
can be modified <strong>to</strong> address the disbanding<br />
of the present committee and<br />
the formation of a new committee.<br />
Villano said she will look in<strong>to</strong> it and<br />
notify committee members of her<br />
findings.<br />
Following the completion of the<br />
remaining tasks, Committee members<br />
voted that Peacey will submit<br />
<strong>to</strong> the Board of Selectmen a formal<br />
request <strong>to</strong> disband the current committee.<br />

LUPA from Page 1<br />
because not only were they celebrating<br />
Father’s Day, but they were also<br />
celebrating their grandson Joseph<br />
Henry <strong>Lupa</strong>’s graduation from<br />
MacDuffy School.<br />
“I believe he waited <strong>to</strong> celebrate<br />
Joey’s graduation before he passed,”<br />
said Joan <strong>Lupa</strong>.<br />
<strong>Lupa</strong> was born in Poland <strong>to</strong> the late<br />
Kazimierz and Cecilia (Nowak) <strong>Lupa</strong>.<br />
In addition <strong>to</strong> Joan (Czupryna) <strong>Lupa</strong>,<br />
his wife of 48 years, he leaves his two<br />
sons, Waclaw “Wally” Henry <strong>Lupa</strong> and<br />
his wife, Ewa, and Stanley Henry <strong>Lupa</strong>,<br />
and two grandsons, Joseph Henry <strong>Lupa</strong><br />
and Wesley Henry <strong>Lupa</strong>. He was predeceased<br />
by his son Mark Henry <strong>Lupa</strong>,<br />
who passed away in 1997.<br />
Henry <strong>Lupa</strong> was a member of the<br />
Polish American Citizens Club of<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> and was the club’s Citizen of<br />
the Year in 2009.<br />
Henry and Joan <strong>Lupa</strong> married in<br />
Poland, their native country, in 1964.<br />
Due <strong>to</strong> the political environment at that<br />
time, he sent his new wife <strong>to</strong> the United<br />
States in December 1964. He immigrated<br />
<strong>to</strong> the U.S., joining her in 1965.<br />
Upon his arrival, the couple renewed<br />
their marriage vows at Immaculate<br />
Conception Church in Indian Orchard<br />
Joan <strong>Lupa</strong> said her husband always<br />
had a love for animals, and they both<br />
were very grateful <strong>to</strong> have the opportunity<br />
<strong>to</strong> show that love. The United<br />
States, and the Town of <strong>Ludlow</strong> specifically,<br />
gave them both the opportunity <strong>to</strong><br />
make their lives better than their lives<br />
in Poland. She said Henry was happy<br />
that he was able <strong>to</strong> give back <strong>to</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
and surrounding communities and was<br />
able <strong>to</strong> show an appreciation of his life<br />
in the U.S. and his acceptance in<strong>to</strong> the<br />
community of <strong>Ludlow</strong>.<br />
The couple purchased their home on<br />
Nash Hill Road in 1978, which included<br />
32 acres of land. Joan said that after<br />
they purchased the land, they opened<br />
<strong>Lupa</strong> Game Farm, which had exotic<br />
birds, miniature horses and pigmies.<br />
Henry <strong>Lupa</strong> started his own business,<br />
New Life Landscaping, in 1968,<br />
and in 1982, the name was changed <strong>to</strong><br />
NL Construction, as site development<br />
and construction services were added<br />
<strong>to</strong> its roster. Yet Henry <strong>Lupa</strong>’s dream <strong>to</strong><br />
open a zoo continued.<br />
In 1992, NL Construction won a<br />
contract bid from the City of<br />
Springfield <strong>to</strong> construct exhibits for the<br />
Forest Park <strong>Zoo</strong>. Upon winning the<br />
contract, Henry’s dream developed in<strong>to</strong><br />
a formulated plan <strong>to</strong> create a zoo that<br />
was bigger and better and that would<br />
offer educational and conservation programs.<br />
“In 1996, we received full licensing<br />
from the State of Massachusetts and the<br />
USDA (United States Department of<br />
Agriculture),” said Joan <strong>Lupa</strong>. “At that<br />
point, we started purchasing exotic<br />
controlled animals. We changed the<br />
name from <strong>Lupa</strong> Game Farm <strong>to</strong> <strong>Lupa</strong><br />
<strong>Zoo</strong> and it grew every year <strong>to</strong> what it is<br />
<strong>to</strong>day.”<br />
Joan <strong>Lupa</strong> said the zoo will continue<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
June 26, 2013 • The <strong>Register</strong> • Page 11<br />
as it was before her husband’s passing,<br />
and it remains a goal that it continues<br />
<strong>to</strong> grow. The family is committed <strong>to</strong><br />
continuing operation of the zoo and<br />
offering it’s current educational and<br />
conservation services.<br />
“Henry’s <strong>illness</strong> and subsequent<br />
death does not mean that he will be forgotten.<br />
It will be an empty place without<br />
him,” she said. “We hope <strong>to</strong> erect a<br />
fitting tribute <strong>to</strong> him in the zoo in the<br />
near future.”<br />
Maureen Fontaine, of <strong>Ludlow</strong>, has<br />
worked at <strong>Lupa</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong> for about five<br />
years and has known the family for<br />
close <strong>to</strong> 10 years. She said that everyone<br />
at the zoo feels Henry <strong>Lupa</strong>’s<br />
loss, and she is sure that everyone will<br />
miss him dearly.<br />
“We will miss his smile. You could<br />
see in his smile how much he loved his<br />
animals,” she said. “He was an excellent<br />
boss. He was very soft spoken. As<br />
employees, we looked forward <strong>to</strong> him<br />
being at the zoo, and we always tried <strong>to</strong><br />
do as he asked.”<br />
South Hadley resident Bob Beane<br />
works as a zookeeper at <strong>Lupa</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong> and<br />
has worked under Henry <strong>Lupa</strong>’s tutelage<br />
since 2006. Beane said he started<br />
as a volunteer, and <strong>Lupa</strong> offered him a<br />
job six months later. Beane plans <strong>to</strong><br />
remain at the zoo and continue <strong>Lupa</strong>’s<br />
legacy.<br />
“I saw an ad in the paper asking for<br />
volunteers. I came and applied and<br />
have been here ever since. Henry<br />
taught me how <strong>to</strong> care for the animals<br />
and <strong>to</strong> respect them and their environment.<br />
He was a very caring man,”<br />
Beane said. “He was a good friend <strong>to</strong><br />
me. I will miss him very much. The<br />
last time I saw him was about a week<br />
before he passed. First thing he said <strong>to</strong><br />
me was ‘Goodbye.’ I asked him if he<br />
wanted me <strong>to</strong> leave and he said, ‘No, I<br />
am just saying goodbye <strong>to</strong> you.’ It was<br />
a very sincere gesture, but it was also<br />
sad, as I knew he would not be with us<br />
much longer.”<br />
Joan <strong>Lupa</strong> wants <strong>to</strong> thank her children,<br />
Wally and his wife Ewa, her son<br />
Stanley and his fiancé Mindy Talbot,<br />
and her mother Anielia Czupryna, of<br />
Wilbraham. She said she is grateful <strong>to</strong><br />
Baystate Visiting Nurses and<br />
O’Connell Visiting Nurses. Most of<br />
all, she said she is grateful <strong>to</strong> Dr. Marc<br />
Semigran and Dr. Stephanie Moore<br />
from Mass General Hospital and all the<br />
staff and nurses at the hospital for their<br />
support and guidance. She is appreciative<br />
for all the support that his primary<br />
care physician, Dr. Joanna Cichon, and<br />
her assistant Violetta gave <strong>to</strong> her husband.<br />
Henry <strong>Lupa</strong> returned home under<br />
the care of Hospice.<br />
“Nowak Funeral Home did a wonderful<br />
job; they were very helpful. I<br />
am also appreciative for the spiritual<br />
support Father Raymond Soltys has<br />
given us not only with Henry’s <strong>illness</strong><br />
but also as parishioners, since 1971,”<br />
she said.<br />

<strong>Ludlow</strong> resident Johnny “Wicker” Walker has his<br />
Stafford, Conn., Speedway No. 1 Dare S<strong>to</strong>ck racecar,<br />
a 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, on display at<br />
the “Rockin’ and Racin’ for Autism” fundraiser.<br />
with both the turn-out and the monies raised.<br />
“We were very pleased with the number of people who<br />
attended and grateful <strong>to</strong> the ones who purchased a ticket<br />
even though they knew they would not be attending,” said<br />
Burek. “We are very excited that we raised some much<br />
money for such a great cause.”<br />
Colleen Lynch, along with Mike Gagne and John<br />
Stewart, cooked up traditional BBQ fare, such as hot dogs,<br />
hamburgers, sliders, pulled pork, chicken wings and a variety<br />
of salads. Lynch is grateful <strong>to</strong> Grace Burek, Jeff Vlk and<br />
Harold Dixon from Indian Orchard’s “It’s All Good”<br />
Restaurant for donating food items and for lending a helping<br />
hand during the event.<br />
While viewing the cars on display, the crowd was serenaded<br />
by Adam Prunty, of Northamp<strong>to</strong>n. Prunty, on acoustic<br />
guitar and harmonica, played classic rock tunes. He said he<br />
heard about the event from his friend Jen Paulin, who was<br />

because it seemed like the right thing <strong>to</strong> do.<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> resident Johnny “Wicker” Walker had his<br />

mix of country, 90’s, and pop music. Kendra Wilson, of<br />
Monson, and Alyssa Anderson, of Riverside R.I., said they<br />
looked forward <strong>to</strong> attending the event. Wilson said she is<br />
really good friends with Walker and when he mentioned they<br />
needed live entertainment, she volunteered their services.<br />
Scott Running brought the Stafford Mo<strong>to</strong>r Speedway<br />

under her belt, races her go-cart at the Little<br />
“T” Speedway located in Thompson, Conn.<br />
<strong>to</strong> show-off, including a 1969 Chevy Camaro, a 1970 Chevy<br />
Chevelle SS 454 and a 1965 Buick Gran Sport. Bobby<br />
Duchesne, who brought the ’65 Buick, said he was going <strong>to</strong><br />
lift the hood of his car and enjoy the day.<br />
“We would like <strong>to</strong> thank Johnny Walker and Scott<br />
Running for bringing their racecars <strong>to</strong> the event. I would<br />
also like <strong>to</strong> thank Jason Dell for bringing along his daughter’s<br />
go-carts. Everyone seemed <strong>to</strong> enjoy checking out the<br />
cars,” Mertz said. “I would also like <strong>to</strong> thank the attendees<br />
who brought their cars for all <strong>to</strong> enjoy.”<br />
Attendees were encouraged <strong>to</strong> try their luck at winning<br />
two 50/50 raffle jackpots; $114 and $28 respectively. Paul<br />
Johnson won the first jackpot, and Colleen Lynch won the<br />
second. Both graciously donated their winnings back <strong>to</strong> the<br />
event.<br />
The Chinese raffle boasted prizes that included themed<br />
baskets, golf and racing t-shirts and hats and a number of<br />
gift certificates. Colleen Lynch was the lucky winner of the<br />
day. She not only won one of the 50/50 raffle jackpots, but<br />
she also won the Special raffle prize – an official 2013 Kevin<br />
Hardwick (NASCAR) jacket. Burek said the raffles generated<br />
$518. Jason Remillard served as emcee for the raffles.<br />
Jill Johnson, owner of Granby Liquors, who donated<br />
$500 <strong>to</strong> the event said, “Grace is one of my oldest friends. I<br />
was proud <strong>to</strong> give her a donation for this worthy cause. She<br />
did a wonderful job organizing this event. It’s a great cause.”<br />
“We would like <strong>to</strong> thank our volunteers, our musicians<br />
and our sponsors. Both Stan and I were overwhelmed with<br />
the generosity and support shown by everyone, and that is<br />
what made our event so successful,” said Burek<br />
Burek and Mertz thank Sharon and Jeff Vlk, owners of<br />
the National House, for graciously opening their business<br />
and their parking lot for their event. They are also grateful <strong>to</strong><br />
Bill Shaffer, Johnny Walker’s crew chief, who was instrumental<br />
in promoting the event.<br />
Mertz said this event and previous events that he recently<br />
hosted will assist him in getting the pole position in an<br />
upcoming race “Champions for Charities.” He encourages<br />
the general public <strong>to</strong> attend. It will be held at Stafford<br />
Mo<strong>to</strong>r Speedway this Friday, June 28.<br />
Mertz said 13 participants will take part in the race by<br />
driving “Wild Thing” Outlaw go-carts. The pole positions<br />
are determined by which driver collects the most money for<br />
their chosen charity. Mertz is looking forward <strong>to</strong> the event<br />
and hopes <strong>to</strong> take <strong>to</strong>p pole position.<br />
“The racing community does a lot for charities, and I am<br />
proud <strong>to</strong> be part of the racing community,” he said. “I can’t<br />
say enough about Stafford Speedway for hosting the<br />
Champions for Charity event. So many people benefit, such<br />
as those diagnosed with autism. Today was very special as<br />
it will help those diagnosed with autism. We can’t thank<br />
everyone enough for being part of all this.”<br />

Indian Orchard<br />
Citizens Council hosts four-day festival<br />
By Susan Skaza<br />
<strong>Register</strong> Intern<br />
June 26, 2013 • The <strong>Register</strong> • Page 13<br />
INDIAN ORCHARD – Parents and children packed<br />
the four-day community festival hosted by the Indian<br />
Orchard Citizens Council (IOCC) last Thursday, June<br />
27, through Sunday, June 23.<br />
Proceeds from the festival, held on Main Street in<br />
the Orchard, will be put <strong>to</strong>wards a future senior center.<br />
Some of the monies raised will also beautify the city<br />
with the purchase of flower pots and flags <strong>to</strong> decorate<br />
streetlights along Main Street.<br />
“We hope <strong>to</strong> get the flags and flower pots in time for<br />
the Fourth of July,” said IOCC President Sandy Babbie.<br />
“Well, actually, we had hoped <strong>to</strong> get them in time for<br />
Memorial Day, but, well, that obviously didn’t happen.”<br />
The main goal of the festival, however, was <strong>to</strong> unify<br />
residents in the neighborhood, what Babbie described<br />
as a “loving community.” Babbie expanded on the<br />
description of the community the IOCC hopes <strong>to</strong> create<br />
with similar events, saying “when you’re walking down<br />
the street you know who your neighbors are.”<br />
In addition <strong>to</strong> bringing neighbors <strong>to</strong>gether, the festival<br />
is also good for local business, said Babbie. Mikey’s<br />
Pizza and Orchard Variety are two examples of businesses<br />
that have been booming as a result of the excitement generated<br />
by the festival, which brought residents and visi<strong>to</strong>rs<br />
from surrounding communities <strong>to</strong> the Orchard.<br />
“They used <strong>to</strong> have a carnival here about 25 years<br />
ago, but they just s<strong>to</strong>pped doing it,” said Babbie, who<br />
added that she hopes the festival will become an annual<br />
event, with Crushing Amusements, the group that ran<br />
the festival this year, invited back next year.<br />
One of Crushing’s employees, Sebastian Moody, of<br />
Maine, shared some of his enthusiasm for the Orchard event.<br />
“This is one of the best <strong>to</strong>wns we’ve been <strong>to</strong> because<br />
the people here were really welcoming and really<br />
opened their arms <strong>to</strong> us,” he said.<br />
Crushing Amusements, owned by Larry Crushing, is<br />
based in Wilming<strong>to</strong>n, and travels all around the state,<br />
participating in various fundraising events, much like<br />
the Indian Orchard festival. Crushing Amusements<br />
shares a percentage of its profits with the host organization,<br />
like the Indian Orchard Citizens Council.<br />
Throughout the four-day event, kids could be seen<br />
running from ride <strong>to</strong> ride and begging their parents for<br />
more tickets. Parents enjoyed some carnival food and<br />
an atmosphere that was not usual <strong>to</strong> their daily routine.<br />
Amber Lira, of Granby, said the festival was a good<br />
way <strong>to</strong> celebrate her son’s last day of school and a nice<br />
change of pace from their usual Friday movie night.<br />
Ana Pereira, of <strong>Ludlow</strong>, shared similar views, saying,<br />
“It’s a nice summer night out and was a good<br />
chance <strong>to</strong> take my son out somewhere different.”<br />
Penny Trigilio, of Chicopee, who attended the festival<br />
on Friday, said, that she drove “by last night, and<br />
pulled over <strong>to</strong> the sign <strong>to</strong> get the times because I had <strong>to</strong><br />
make sure we made it here before it ended.”<br />

Alencer nets late winner for Pioneers<br />
By Tim Peterson<br />
Turley Publications Sports<br />
Correspondent<br />
LUDLOW - With a couple<br />
of minutes remaining in the<br />
Premier Development League<br />
Northeast Division soccer<br />
match between Vermont and<br />
Western Mass, it looked like the<br />
Pioneers would have <strong>to</strong> settle<br />
for their third tie of the season.<br />
However, Pioneers forward<br />
junior Alencer netted the gamewinning<br />
goal during the 90th<br />
minute giving Western Mass. a<br />
2-1 vic<strong>to</strong>ry against the Voltage<br />
Pioneer Pat Ryan (6) chases<br />
down the ball in the open<br />
field.<br />
before 1,500 soccer fans at<br />
Lusitano Stadium last Saturday<br />
night.<br />
“This is the third game that<br />
Junior has played with us and<br />
he’s doing his job,” said<br />
Western Mass. head coach<br />
Federico Molinari. “Junior<br />
gives us something different<br />
because he is a very good player<br />
in open space.”<br />
Alencer, who’s from Brazil,<br />
scored ten goals in eleven<br />
matches for the Worcester<br />
Hydra last year. The Hydra<br />
franchise folded at the end of<br />
the season and Alencer began<br />
this season playing for an amateur<br />
soccer team in the Bos<strong>to</strong>n<br />
area before being signed by<br />
Pioneers General Manager<br />
Greg Kolodziey.<br />
The Pioneers, who were 1-1-<br />
2 before Alencer joined the<br />
team on June 14, have now won<br />
their last three matches improving<br />
their season record <strong>to</strong> 4-1-2.<br />
The Pioneers are currently tied<br />
for second place in the league<br />
standings with Ottawa. GPS<br />
Portland is in first place, but<br />
they’ve played one more game<br />
than both Ottawa and Western<br />
Mass.<br />

LUDLOW - With the 2012-<br />
13 school year coming <strong>to</strong> an<br />
end this week, a very good way<br />
for the children of <strong>Ludlow</strong> and<br />
the surrounding communities <strong>to</strong><br />
have some fun during their<br />
summer vacation is by attending<br />
the Lions Pride Sports<br />
Clinics at <strong>Ludlow</strong> High School.<br />
Even though the Lions Pride<br />
Sports Clinics uses the high<br />
school facilities, it’s not affiliated<br />
with the <strong>Ludlow</strong> Public<br />
Schools or the high school athletic<br />
department.<br />
“The sport clinics aren’t<br />
associated with the high school.<br />
It’s open <strong>to</strong> any student from<br />
the neighboring <strong>to</strong>wns, not just<br />
the kids from <strong>Ludlow</strong>, “said<br />

<strong>Ludlow</strong> settles for doubleheader split<br />
By Tim Peterson<br />

LUDLOW - After posting a<br />
3-2 vic<strong>to</strong>ry against West<br />
Springfield in the first game of<br />
their doubleheader, the <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
Legion Post 52 baseball team<br />
didn’t have the same type of<br />
luck in the nightcap against<br />
Pettengill Insurance Post 260.<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong>, who defeated<br />
Pettengill in the District playoffs<br />
last July, fell behind 4-0<br />
before coming <strong>to</strong> bat for the<br />
first time. They could never<br />
recover as Pettengill, which is<br />
made up of players from South<br />
Hadley and Holyoke, coasted <strong>to</strong><br />
a 13-5 vic<strong>to</strong>ry at Whitney Park<br />
in <strong>Ludlow</strong>, last Saturday afternoon.<br />
“This is a very big win for<br />
us because it’s become a pretty<br />
good rivalry game during the<br />
past five years,” said Pettengill<br />
head coach John O’Hara. “We<br />
lost against <strong>Ludlow</strong> in the playoffs<br />
last year.”<br />
The Pettengill and <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
game was originally scheduled<br />
<strong>to</strong> be played last Tuesday night,<br />
June 18, but was postponed<br />
because of rain.<br />
“Having <strong>to</strong> play six games<br />
in five games has really taken a<br />
<strong>to</strong>ll on us,” said <strong>Ludlow</strong> head<br />
coach Bob Bohl. “We usually<br />
have a couple of days off each<br />

week. These kids aren’t used <strong>to</strong><br />
playing baseball every day.”<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> had a 5-3 season<br />
record following the doubleheader<br />
split.<br />
The winning pitcher in the<br />
first game of the day for<br />

Lions <strong>to</strong>o much for Quaboag<br />
By Tim Peterson<br />
Turley Publications Sports<br />
Correspondent<br />
WARREN - The Quaboag girls varsity<br />
soccer team has qualified for the<br />
Central Mass. Division 3 Tournament in<br />
each of the past two years. Twelve members<br />
of last year’s team, which finished<br />
with a 9-9-1 overall record, are members<br />
of the Lady Cougars Pioneer Valley<br />
Summer Soccer League team.<br />
The Lady Cougars entered their summer<br />
league home match against the<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> B team with a 1-0-1 record. The<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> B team, whose players will be<br />
playing for the Lady Lions junior varsity<br />
soccer team for the first time next fall,<br />
entered the contest with a 2-0 record.<br />
It didn’t take very long for the young<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> B team <strong>to</strong> score its first goal and<br />
they coasted <strong>to</strong> a 4-0 shu<strong>to</strong>ut vic<strong>to</strong>ry at<br />
Quaboag Regional High School, last<br />
Wednesday night.<br />
“<strong>Ludlow</strong> has a very strong soccer program.<br />
All of their soccer player’s play<br />
the sport year round,” said Quaboag<br />
summer league coach Gary Nor<strong>to</strong>n.<br />
“They’re also a Division 1 team and<br />
we’re a Division 3, so we knew that this<br />
game was going <strong>to</strong> be a big test for us.”<br />
A year ago, the <strong>Ludlow</strong> B team only<br />
won four summer league games. It’s<br />
been a much different s<strong>to</strong>ry so far this<br />
summer, as they’ve outscored their first<br />
three opponents, 9-0.<br />
“We do have a lot of very talented<br />
soccer players on this team and we have<br />
very high expectations for them,” said<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> summer league coach Tony<br />
Dias. “It was a nice win for us <strong>to</strong>night.”<br />
The starting goalkeeper for the<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> B team was Abby Terrinca,<br />
who’ll be a freshman in the fall. She only<br />
had <strong>to</strong> make a couple of saves in posting<br />
her third shu<strong>to</strong>ut vic<strong>to</strong>ry of the season.<br />
“One of our problems last summer<br />
was we really didn’t have a very good<br />
goalkeeper,” Dias said. “Abby has done<br />
an outstanding job for us in the first few<br />
games so far this summer. The entire<br />
defense has played very well.”<br />
The other members of the <strong>Ludlow</strong> B<br />
defensive unit are Noelle Fradette, Erica<br />
Crespo, Isaballa Halastra, and<br />
Dominique Alives.<br />
Terrinca was given a 1-0 lead <strong>to</strong> protect<br />
a little more than a minute in<strong>to</strong> the<br />
opening half following a goal by Nissa<br />
Pereira, which was assisted by Abigail<br />
Anselmo.<br />
Pereira also scored the final goal of<br />
the match for the <strong>Ludlow</strong> B team in the<br />
middle of the second half.<br />
“Nissa is a phenomenal soccer player,”<br />
Dias said. “She always plays the<br />
game hard and never lets up on the play.”<br />
The Lady Cougars did have a very<br />
good chance <strong>to</strong> tie the score on a shot by<br />
Anna Stefano five minutes later, but it<br />
was saved by Terrinca.<br />
Stefano will be one of the Lady<br />
Cougars returning varsity players, along<br />
with Harlie Wdowiak, Emily Rock,<br />
Demi Perrin, Kelly Nor<strong>to</strong>n, Jess Korzec,<br />
Shaylan Dorman, Dinnea Digrigoli,<br />
Maryssa Connor, Kylie Baldwin, Taylor<br />
Abner, and Brittany Herring, whose<br />
Quaboag’s starting goalkeeper.<br />
“We’re starting <strong>to</strong> play well as a<br />
team,” coach Nor<strong>to</strong>n said. “We’re also<br />
trying <strong>to</strong> prepare them for the regular<br />
season in the fall.”<br />
The <strong>Ludlow</strong> B team <strong>to</strong>ok a 2-0 lead<br />
when Anselmo found herself wide open<br />
on the left side and she fired a shot in<strong>to</strong><br />
the right corner over the goalkeeper.<br />
The <strong>Ludlow</strong> B team, who held a 2-0<br />
halftime lead, increased its lead <strong>to</strong> 3-0<br />
following a goal by Juliana Iwasinski ten<br />
minutes in<strong>to</strong> the second half.<br />
Pereira capped off the scoring in the<br />
match about ten minutes later.<br />

room for improvement and we need <strong>to</strong><br />
keep working hard,” Molinari said.<br />
“Sometimes you need this sort of game<br />
when you’re a little bit lucky <strong>to</strong> give you<br />
confidence for the rest of the season.”<br />
Alencer, who didn’t score any goals<br />
in his first match with the Pioneers, posted<br />
a hat trick in a 4-1 road vic<strong>to</strong>ry<br />
against the Real Bos<strong>to</strong>n Rams, last<br />
Wednesday night.<br />
“Junior has really been a big help for<br />
us the past couple of weeks,” said<br />
Pioneers goalkeeper Warren Gross. “He<br />
has a lot of experience and he can put<br />
the ball in<strong>to</strong> the net.”<br />
Alencer’s game-winning goal was<br />
setup by midfield Ronaldo Viera, who<br />
entered the contest as a substitution late<br />
in the 63rd minute. Viera sent the ball up<br />
the field <strong>to</strong> Alencer on the left side and<br />
he blasted a left-footed shot in<strong>to</strong> the<br />
back of the net past Vermont goalie Ben<br />
Perez.<br />
“It feels awesome <strong>to</strong> score the gamewinning<br />
goal,” Alencer said. “I really<br />
enjoy playing for this team and I’ve also<br />
received a lot of support from the community.<br />
I just want <strong>to</strong> help this team win<br />
games.”<br />
The Voltage (2-3-2), who’s in third<br />
place in the league standings, had a couple<br />
of chances <strong>to</strong> tie the score again during<br />
s<strong>to</strong>ppage time. Gross made a couple<br />
of saves and a couple of other shots<br />
sailed over the crossbar before referee<br />
Sam Mokalled blew his whistle for the<br />
final time.<br />
Gross, who made a <strong>to</strong>tal of five saves,<br />
received a lot of support from his<br />
defense led by Trey Jasenski, Patrick<br />
Ryan, Jayme Kapinos and Jay Willis.<br />
“This is the second season that the<br />
defense has been playing <strong>to</strong>gether,”<br />
Molinari said. “They’ve been playing<br />
very well.”<br />
The Pioneers <strong>to</strong>ok a 1-0 lead during<br />
the 15th minute when midfielder<br />
Tommaso D’Agostino sent a beautiful<br />
crossing pass from the left side in<strong>to</strong> the<br />
penalty area where Alencer headed it<br />
in<strong>to</strong> the right corner of the goal.<br />
The score remained 1-0 until the<br />
52nd minute when the Voltages were<br />
rewarded a penalty kick following a<br />
handball in the box. The kick taken by<br />
forward Lucas Carvalho Cordeiro sailed<br />
in<strong>to</strong> the right corner.<br />
The score remained tied until the 90th<br />
minute when Alencer became the hero.<br />
The Pioneers will be hosting the<br />
Seacoast United Phan<strong>to</strong>ms at 7:30 p.m.<br />
on Friday. They’ll then be playing a road<br />
match against the CFC Azul the following<br />
night. It’ll be the second meeting of<br />
the season between the two teams. They<br />
also met in the season opener at Central<br />
Connecticut University, which ended in<br />
a 1-1 tie.<br />

LEGION from Page 17<br />
We just made a lot of mistakes in the<br />
second game.”<br />
Pettengill, who only had <strong>to</strong> play one<br />
game on Saturday, improved their overall<br />
season record <strong>to</strong> 5-3. They lost their previous<br />
two games against Greenfield and<br />
West Springfield.<br />
“We’ve been hitting the ball hard the<br />
past couple of games, but they were right<br />
at people,” O’Hara said. “The breaks<br />
went our way in this game <strong>to</strong>day, which<br />
was nice <strong>to</strong> see for a change.”<br />
Pettengill scored 13 runs on 12 base<br />
hits against <strong>Ludlow</strong>.<br />
Leading the way offensively for the<br />
visi<strong>to</strong>rs was left fielder Matt<br />
Beauchemin, who recently graduated<br />
from Holyoke High School. He went 3-<br />
for-5 with five RBIs and three runs. He<br />
had a big day at the plate.<br />
First baseman Pat Sears, who completed<br />
his junior year at South Hadley,<br />
went 3-for-4 with three RBIs. Shorts<strong>to</strong>p<br />
Connor Sherdian, who graduated from<br />
South Hadley a year ago, only had two<br />
singles, but he scored four runs. Third<br />
baseman Mike Paleologopoulos, who<br />
graduated from South Hadley a couple of<br />
weeks ago and Joe Ciolek, who was the<br />
starting pitcher against <strong>Ludlow</strong>, each<br />
scored three runs.<br />
Ciolek, who’ll be a senior at South<br />
Hadley in the fall, allowed three runs on<br />
six hits in six innings of work.<br />
Pettengill <strong>to</strong>ok advantage of four<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> errors in the opening inning <strong>to</strong><br />
build a 4-0 lead.<br />
“Against a good team like <strong>Ludlow</strong>,<br />
you need <strong>to</strong> take advantage of the mistakes,”<br />
O’Hara said. “They did make a<br />
comeback against us.”<br />
The only base hit in the frame was a<br />
two-run line drive single <strong>to</strong> center by<br />
Beauchemin. A ground ball hit by catcher<br />
Scott Bicknell, who’ll be a senior at<br />
Wilbraham & Monson Academy in the<br />
fall, was misplayed by the <strong>Ludlow</strong> third<br />
baseman allowing another run <strong>to</strong> cross<br />
the plate. Ciolek, who walked, scored the<br />
other run following a wild pitch.<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> right-handed starting pitcher<br />
Marcus Lafayette, who graduated from<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> High School a year ago, was<br />
replaced by right-hander Nelson Mourao<br />
after walking the leadoff batter in the <strong>to</strong>p<br />
of the second.<br />
Mourao, who’ll be a senior in the fall,<br />
only allowed one run until the fifth<br />
inning, which allowed his teammates <strong>to</strong><br />
make a comeback.<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong>’s comeback began when they<br />
scored a pair of runs in the bot<strong>to</strong>m of the<br />
third inning. Left fielder Kevin Borowiec<br />
who’ll also be a senior in the fall<br />
knocked home the first run with a single<br />
<strong>to</strong> center field. He scored the second run<br />
when second baseman Mike Lavell<br />
bounced in<strong>to</strong> a fielder’s choice play.<br />
When the third out of the inning was<br />
finally recorded on a groundout <strong>to</strong> second,<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> had the game tying run on base.<br />
After scoring a single run in the<br />
fourth, Pettengill scored four more runs<br />
in the following inning. The two biggest<br />
hits of the frame were back-<strong>to</strong>-back two<br />
runs singles by Beauchemin and Sears<br />
with two outs in the inning. The visi<strong>to</strong>rs<br />
scored four more times in the <strong>to</strong>p of the<br />
seventh inning.<br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> scored a pair of runs in the<br />
bot<strong>to</strong>m of the seventh against right-handed<br />
relief pitcher Alex Ziomek. The runs<br />
scored on back-<strong>to</strong>-back singles by<br />
Borowiec and right fielder John<br />
Bo<strong>to</strong>rlucci, who’s from East<br />
Longmeadow.<br />
It was the only meeting of the regular<br />
season between the two teams, but they<br />
could meet in the postseason <strong>to</strong>urnament<br />
once again this year.<br />

Red Cross <strong>to</strong> hold blood drive in<br />
memory of Katie DaSilva<br />
WILBRAHAM – The American<br />
Red Cross is holding a special blood<br />
drive in loving memory of Katie<br />
DaSilva on Tuesday, July 2, from 11<br />
a.m. <strong>to</strong> 6 p.m. at St. Cecilia’s Church,<br />
42 Main St., in Wilbraham.<br />
In 2001, at the age of seven, Katie<br />
was diagnosed with liver cancer.<br />
During her <strong>illness</strong>, she received several<br />
transfusions of blood and blood<br />
products. Despite a successful liver<br />
transplant, her cancer returned, and<br />
Katie passed away in 2002 at the age<br />
of eight.<br />
Because blood donors gave Katie<br />
and her family the precious gift of<br />
more time <strong>to</strong>gether, the DaSilva family<br />
want <strong>to</strong> help ensure blood is available<br />
for patients when they need it.<br />
They want Katie’s legacy <strong>to</strong> help provide<br />
another birthday, another dance,<br />
another laugh, another hug, and another<br />
chance for patients and their families.<br />

Ideal Insurance Agency and Arbella combat distracted driving<br />
LUDLOW – Continuing a campaign<br />
<strong>to</strong> change the dangerous behavior of<br />
driving while distracted, the Arbella<br />
Insurance Foundation, “Arbella,” along<br />
with Ideal Insurance Agency, is now<br />
making a state-of-the-art text-blocking<br />
technology solution more affordable <strong>to</strong><br />
hundreds of drivers in an effort <strong>to</strong> curb<br />
multi-tasking at the wheel.<br />
Arbella will subsidize the purchase of<br />
a Cellcontrol device and one year of<br />
enhanced moni<strong>to</strong>ring service, retail price<br />
$125, price with Arbella discount $25,<br />
for the first 700 people who sign up<br />
using a discount promo code. Promo<br />
codes can be obtained through the agents<br />
at Ideal Insurance, who have agreed <strong>to</strong><br />
donate their time <strong>to</strong> help promote this<br />
initiative on behalf of the Foundation.<br />
This offer is available <strong>to</strong> all members of<br />
the public, regardless of where they purchase<br />
au<strong>to</strong> insurance or who their insurer<br />
is.<br />
“Sending a text message while driving<br />
increases the risk of a crash by 23<br />
times, and more than 3,000 people are<br />
killed each year in crashes involving a<br />
distracted driver,” said Tony Goncalves,<br />
co-owner of Ideal Insurance. “The epidemic<br />
of distracted driving, particularly<br />
among teens, continues <strong>to</strong> worsen. Our<br />
agency believes strongly that using textblocking<br />
technology is another important<br />
step <strong>to</strong>ward helping drivers break the<br />
mobile phone addiction and keep their<br />
eyes on the road. Arbella is making this<br />
solution more affordable with the hope<br />
that it will help put an end <strong>to</strong> distracted<br />
driving tragedies in our communities.”<br />
Cellcontrol’s award-winning technology<br />
eliminates the temptation <strong>to</strong> talk,<br />
text, email and surf the web while driving.<br />
The device, called a “trigger,” plugs<br />
in<strong>to</strong> the on-board-diagnostics (OBD)<br />
port in the car and gives drivers the<br />
power <strong>to</strong> manage phone usage while the<br />
car is in motion. It disables texting while<br />
the car is in use and can also be programmed<br />
<strong>to</strong> block incoming and outgoing<br />
calls, apps, email and web browsing<br />
if desired.<br />
Unlike other solutions, which only<br />
moni<strong>to</strong>r the movement of the phone,<br />
Cellcontrol uses multiple data sources <strong>to</strong><br />
completely prevent all phone use while<br />
the car is moving and the driver is driving.<br />
Since driver safety is of utmost concern,<br />
Cellcontrol always allows emergency<br />
numbers <strong>to</strong> remain active. Parents<br />
can also add approved numbers <strong>to</strong> enable<br />
while their child is behind the wheel.<br />
And if the device is removed or tampered<br />
with, the driver will be notified.<br />
Cellcontrol is compatible with more<br />
than 1,500 mobile handsets, tablets and<br />
handheld computers across all leading<br />
domestic and international mobile service<br />
providers and is available for vehicles<br />
of all sizes.<br />
“We’re trying <strong>to</strong> make this as simple<br />
as possible for folks,” said Goncalves.<br />
“Drivers who purchase using the promo<br />
code will receive the Cellcontrol trigger<br />
in the mail, then register their phone<br />
online and set their family usage policy.<br />
Finally, they’ll download the software<br />
and plug the Cellcontrol trigger in<strong>to</strong> the<br />
vehicle. No <strong>to</strong>ols or training are needed.”<br />
Arbella began its campaign against<br />
distracted driving in 2010, with the<br />
unveiling the state-of-the-art<br />
Distrac<strong>to</strong>logy 101, an interactive program<br />
that educates new drivers about the<br />
dangers of distracted driving. The program’s<br />
centerpiece is a 36-foot-long,<br />
neon-yellow mobile classroom outfitted<br />
with high-tech driving simula<strong>to</strong>rs<br />
designed <strong>to</strong> give new drivers the<br />
chance <strong>to</strong> experience the perils of distracted<br />
driving, including texting<br />
while driving. To date, more than<br />
4,000 new drivers, those who have<br />
been licensed less than three years or<br />
have a learner’s permit, have completed<br />
the Distrac<strong>to</strong>logy 101 training. In<br />
2012, 97 percent of students surveyed<br />
said the experience was effective or<br />
extremely effective, and 82 percent<br />
said they would recommend the experience<br />
<strong>to</strong> a friend.<br />

The Horace Smith<br />
Fund awards<br />
$276,000 <strong>to</strong> area<br />
students<br />
CHICOPEE – On Thursday, June 13, The Horace<br />
Smith Fund held its 114th Corpora<strong>to</strong>rs’ Meeting and<br />
scholarship awards ceremony at Elms College.<br />
Samalid Hogan, chair of the Board of Trustees,<br />
announced that this year there were 24 scholarship and<br />
three fellowship recipients. Among them were <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
High School Class of 2013 member Alison Leecock.<br />
“Providing that students maintain at least a B average<br />
in college, each scholarship provides a <strong>to</strong>tal of<br />
$10,000 over four years and each fellowship provides<br />
$12,000 over three years,” said Hogan. “Therefore,<br />
The Horace Smith Fund is happy <strong>to</strong> be able <strong>to</strong> grant a<br />
<strong>to</strong>tal award of $276,000 <strong>to</strong> area students this year.”<br />
“The Horace Smith Fund was established in 1899 by<br />
the successful and generous philanthropist named<br />
Horace Smith,” according <strong>to</strong> James W. Broderick, chair<br />
of the Scholarship Committee. “He and Daniel Wesson<br />
were the <strong>founder</strong>s of Smith & Wesson, located in<br />
Springfield. Mr. Smith’s will provided that the residual<br />
of his estate after several bequests <strong>to</strong> relatives and institutions,<br />
was <strong>to</strong> be used for public purposes at the discretion<br />
of his execu<strong>to</strong>rs. They decided that it should be used <strong>to</strong><br />
help deserving students finance their education.”<br />
The scholarships and fellowships are named for<br />
Walter S. Barr, a West Springfield businessman, whose<br />
widow left the bulk of the family estate <strong>to</strong> The Horace<br />
Smith Fund in 1950. Recipients must be residents of<br />
Hampden County.<br />
The keynote speaker, At<strong>to</strong>rney Michael Gove, was a<br />
past recipient of both the Walter S. Barr Scholarship<br />
and Fellowship.<br />
Students were selected on a variety of criteria,<br />
including their test scores, class rank, extra-curricular<br />
activities, and a personal written account of why the student<br />
feels deserving of financial assistance.<br />
Applications for next year’s awards will be available on<br />
Sept. 15 on-line at www.HoraceSmithFund.org or by<br />
calling 413-739-4222.
