All articles pass at Special Town Meeting
DaCruz elected
moderator
By Rich Wirth
Register Correspondent
LUDLOW – Seventy-three
of the town’s 113 precinct voters passed 22 articles at
Senior Center
to host �Wallet
Inventory
Program’
Monday’s Special Town
Meeting.
The first order of business
was the appointment of an interim town moderator. Former
selectman Antonio Dos Santos,
who was elected moderator
back in March, resigned this
summer because he is no longer
a Ludlow resident. Selectman
William E. Rooney, in turn,
nominated former selectman
and attorney John DaCruz for
the post, with Selectman
Carmina Fernandes nominating
former town administrator
Michael Szlosek. DaCruz was
ultimately elected via a paper
ballot vote of 45-28.
DaCruz’s first official duty
as moderator was to request a
moment of silence in memory
of David B. Irvine, a longtime
Planning Board and Sewer
Commission member who
passed away in August, and
Finance Committee member
Albert J. Fabbre, who died in
September.
Articles 2-7 concerned nego-

LUDLOW – Your wallet
has been lost or stolen. What
do you do?
While most people might
panic as they struggle to
remember everything they
stored in their wallets, the
folks at the Ludlow Senior
Center want to reduce that
anxiety with a “Wallet
Inventory.”
“This was something that
we just kind of fell upon,” said
Senior Center Transportation
Dispatcher
Matthew
Pszeniczny, who, along with
Senior Center Bookkeeper
Betty Harackiewicz, have
organized
the
“Wallet
Inventory Program.” “One of
our co-workers’ spouse lost a
wallet and was trying to
remember what was in it. So
we searched the Internet and
found these inventory forms.
“As we started putting this
together, we thought it was a
LUDLOW – Police are
alerting the public to a string
of recent vehicle break ins.
According to Ludlow
Provisional Lt. Daniel Valadas,
the vehicle break ins have
occurred within the last three
weeks during the evening
hours.
Valadas said multiple items
have been stolen from vehicles; other vehicles have been
vandalized.
A laptop computer was
stolen from a vehicle at 88
Fuller St.; three cars were broken into on Prospect Street – a
wallet, vehicle registration and
change were stolen; registration was stolen from a motor
vehicle on Haviland Street,
and a purse was stolen from a
vehicle on Highland Avenue.
Vehicles on Hubbard and
Miller streets and a lift truck
parked behind Ludlow High
School were vandalized,
Valadas said.

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

Ludlow Lions to participate in
�Pennies for Sight’ campaign
LUDLOW – The Ludlow Lions Club,
a non-profit organization whose members
volunteer their time to humanitarian causes in their local and world communities
by conducting service projects, will be at
various Ludlow businesses on Saturday,
Oct. 11, raising funds for Massachusetts
Lions Eye Research in their “Pennies for
Sight” campaign.
Monies raised from the Pennies for
Sight campaign go directly to the
Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund,
which began in 1950 to assist in raising
funds to combat retinopathy of prematurity, more commonly known as baby blindness. Since its inception, the fund has
gone on to provide research grants to find
a cure or prevention for numerous diseases that cause blindness, such as dia-
betes, macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, dry eye and glaucoma. Nearly
$24 million has been raised to date, over
$1 million last year alone.
The Ludlow Lions have collection
canisters located at Turnpike Package
Store and Meadowbrook Variety, so while
shopping at these locations, please look
for Ludlow Lions canisters.
Members will also be out at the
Ludlow Post Office, Luso Federal Credit,
and TD North on Saturday, Oct. 11, so if
you spot a Lion or business with a collection can, please donate.
Lions take pride in the fact that every
penny donated to the Massachusetts
Lions Eye Research Fund goes directly to
eye research.

Making the Most of Social Security
Income for Life
Retirement Income-Enhancing Strategies
Tue. 10/28, Thurs. 11/20, Mon. 12/8
6:00 - 7:30 pm
Tue. 10/20, Thurs. 11/17, Mon. 12/4
6:00 - 7:30 pm
One of the most important decisions you need to make before you retire is when to
claim Social Security benefits. About half of retirees apply for Social Security as soon as they
become eligible at age 62.1 But by doing so, they may significantly and permanently reduce the
benefits that they — and possibly their spouses — could receive over a lifetime.
Social Security provides not only a guaranteed income stream but also longevity protection,
spousal protection, and some inflation protection. It may be the closest thing you receive
to a traditional pension.
Do you understand the various claiming strategies that could enhance your income?
Whether you’re single, married, divorced, or widowed, there may be ways to maximize the
lifetime Social Security benefits you receive. Join us for an educational workshop where we’ll
focus on Social Security, plus a lot more.
• How married couples can coordinate benefits to help enhance spousal and survivor benefits
• Claiming a spousal benefit while earning delayed retirement credits
• How the “file and suspend,” “do over,” and “start, stop, restart” strategies work
• How claiming early worker benefits could lower your spousal benefit at full retirement age
• The effect of remarriage on survivor benefits for widowed and divorced spouses
• Making informed retirement plan distribution decisions
• Using a direct IRA rollover to avoid current taxes and penalties
• Strategies to help create a “do-it-yourself” personal pension
Will your savings last as long as you do? Will you have the money you
need to enjoy a comfortable retirement? For many Americans, the answer
is no. That’s because a lifetime of investing and saving can be eroded by
taxes, inflation, and poor investments.
Fortunately, there are strategies to help address your long-term income
needs. Find out how an annuity could help you accumulate retirement
funds, manage taxes, fight the effects of inflation, and generate an income
you can’t outlive.
An annuity could help you:
• Create an income source that could last a lifetime
• Manage your investment risk
• Benefit from tax-deferred accumulation
• Provide a death benefit to heirs
• Keep part of your estate out of probate
When you attend the workshop, you will receive a 20-page, information-packed п¬Ѓnancial
workbook with essential information from the workshop. Perhaps best of all, you’ll be eligible
for the complimentary consultation offered to all workshop participants.
Come to an educational workshop and hear how an annuity could help
you keep more of your money. You’ll receive a 20-page workbook packed
with information about this flexible financial vehicle.

Generally, annuity contracts have fees and expenses, limitations, exclusions, holding periods, termination provisions, and terms for keeping them in force. Most annuities have surrender charges that are assessed if the contract owner surrenders the
annuity. Withdrawals of annuity earnings are taxed as ordinary income. Withdrawals prior to age 59ВЅ may be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty. Any guarantees are contingent on the claims-paying ability and п¬Ѓnancial strength of the
issuing insurance company.
Variable annuities are sold by prospectus. Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus, which contains this and other information about the variable annuity contract
and the underlying investment options, can be obtained from your п¬Ѓnancial professional. Be sure to read the prospectus carefully before deciding whether to invest.

An article and photo that appeared in the Oct. 1
edition of The Register named Maureen Beauregard
as a participant in the Ribbon Cutting ceremony for
HAPHousing’s Stevens Memorial Senior Housing,
held at Mack Donnelly Gazebo in Memorial Park
on Tuesday, Sept. 23. The article and caption failed
to mention that Ms. Beauregard was asked to participate in the ribbon cutting ceremony to honor her
family, specifically, her father, Mack Donnelly
(deceased), the former executive director of the
Ludlow Boys & Girls Club, now the site of Stevens
Memorial Senior Housing. We regret our failure to
mention this very important detail.

“I am proud to serve as chairman of the Ludlow
Community Center/Randall Boys & Girls a Club One
Campaign,” said Tavares.
The goal for the Ludlow Community Center/Randall
Boys & Girls Club 2014 One Campaign is $40,000 to
support the club’s annual operating budget.
“We are proud to announce that to date we have
raised over $16,000 as a result of some early gifts
including gifts from Board and staff,” Tavares said.
Additional support, however, is needed in order for
club to meet the 2014 One Campaign goal. The 2014
One Campaign is running now through Nov. 30.
This past year the Ludlow Community
Center/Randall Boys & Girls Club has served over
2,300 youth and their families, providing year-round
programs and activities that are convenient, affordable
and accessible to all ages and backgrounds through
effective partnerships between the public and private
sector. All programs focus on developing strong character and leadership skills and are conducted in a safe,
nurturing environment by well trained and professional
staff.
“The Ludlow Community Center/Randall Boys &
Girls Club is making a difference in the youth and families lives in Ludlow that we serve,” Tavares said.
Over the past year, the club has increased its membership by 13 percent with a total increase of 23 percent
over the past two years. Currently, the club provides
over $20,000 in program access fees for eligible children participating in a variety of programs, including
before and after school programs. These scholarships
afford deserving youth with vital out of school programs and services, making the difference in not only
their lives but the family unit as a whole.

Hubbard Library to host
�Lizzie Borden and the
40 Whacks’
LUDLOW – On a scorching hot day in Fall River
back in August 1892, a heinous crime occurred.
Spinster Lizzie Borden was accused, tried and acquitted for the vicious axe murders of her father and stepmother.
On Thursday, Oct. 9, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., Hubbard
Memorial Library will host the Delvena Theatre
Company, which will bring you back in time to see
why this true unsolved mystery has fascinated people
for over 100 years.
The performance includes a mock trial that invites
the audience to participate by questioning Lizzie and
voting on her guilt or innocence. Did she or didn't
she? You, the audience can be the judge. The cast
opens up to the audience for discussion after the performance.
The Delvena Theatre Company has been entertaining audiences for over 20 years with plays that are
thought-provoking, often humorous and always enriching.
This production is supported in part by a grant from
the Ludlow Cultural Council, a local agency, which is
supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a

Letters to the Editor
Long story
short
By Paula Killough
Register Policies
�Happy Feet’ team raises $9,000 to fight cancer –
they say �thanks’
Who do they
think they are
dealing with?
I
t happened to me! A couple of weeks
back, I got a phone call from a man with
an Indian accent claiming that there was a
warrant issued for the arrest of someone living at my address. I immediately hung up.
Would you believe the man called me right
back and said, “Why did you hang up on
me?” I said, “Don’t call this number again,”
and, again, I hung up.
A few days later, I received a voicemail
message on my home phone. The caller,
again a man with an Indian accent, claimed
that a warrant had been issued by the “federal
investigation bureau of the IRS” because an
incident of fraud had been flagged on tax
returns. Mind you, the man never stated my
name or my sweetheart, Bobby Rodrigues’
name, throughout the duration of the long
voicemail message. He only said I should
immediately call a number, I remember it was
a 202 area code.
I played the message on speakerphone for
Bobby, and we had a good laugh.
“This guy will never know that he tried to
scam a reporter who has done multiple stories
on this very scam and a retired police lieutenant,” I said.
I, of course, just hung up. I can’t be bothered. Bobby, on the other hand, is hoping the
guy will call back, so he can have some fun
with the lousy crook.
Even though I know about this scam, I
have to say it was a tad alarming to be told
that someone living at this residence has a
warrant out for his or her arrest. Bobby, of
course, was not alarmed. When I told him
about that first call and that there is a warrant
out for mine or his, probably his, arrest, he
laughed and said, “Is that right? Well if he
calls back, I’ll talk to him and tell him to
come and get me.”
He’s such a tough guy!
I make a bit of fun here, but really, this is a
serious matter. Many people have been duped
by these scammers. Don’t be one of them.
Scammers may identify themselves as IRS
agents and even provide an IRS identification
number. To make it appear even more official, caller ID may show a Washington D.C.
telephone number or an IRS number. I
checked into the call I received. It was a 202
area code, Washington D.C.
I’ve reported on this before, but it’s always
worth repeating – the IRS will first notify a
taxpayer in writing via regular mail. The IRS
will NEVER contact a taxpayer via email or
request debit or credit card information via
the telephone.
If you receive a call from someone claiming to represent the IRS – JUST HANG UP.
If you think you owe money to the IRS,
contact them at 1-800-829-1040.
And if you want to take it a step further,
report the call to local police or call Treasury
Inspector General for Tax Administration at
1-800-366-4484.

Following up to an article that appeared in
the Aug. 6 edition of The Register about the
“Happy Feet” team, a group of women who
trained for the 26-mile Boston Marathon
Jimmy Fund Walk to fight cancer, we walked,
and it was great! It was a very long walk but
worth every drop of sweat.
On Sunday, Sept. 21, we started in
Hopkinton in pouring rain, but by 6:15 a.m.,
the sky cleared, and we had a dry day. It was
quite humid, and at times hot, but during the
last eight miles or so, the sun was behind the
clouds and walking was easier – we made it
to Copley Square.
The Heartbreak Hill was long but not very
steep, actually easier than many hills we
walked before. The six months training did its
job, and we all were able to get to the Finish
Line, tired but very happy. Those of us who
had to, reported for duties Monday morning
as usual.
When it comes to raising money, our
group came in 157th out of 938 as of Sept.
12, but it will most likely change by Oct. 15.
Among the new groups for this year, we
ranked 36th out of 390. We are proud of ourselves.
There were over 8,800 walkers and 1,000
volunteers this year. The total raised this year
is expected to top $7.5 million. Since 1989,
over $100 million was donated to Dana
Farber by families and friends of those who
decided to walk.
This is a reason to celebrate.
We would like to thank everyone who supported us. Thanks to you, Helping Feet raised
over $9,000 with donations still being accepted to Oct. 15.
Without everyone’s help, the research centers would not be able to come up with new
procedures, medications and ways to fight the
horrible monster.
Thank you again,
Kamila Wnuk

A Slick, Skilled
and Seasoned
Stow-A-Way
By Joan E. B.
Coombs
Intentional. Targeted. Stealth acts were
performed with peerless skill in the silent,
dark shadows. Hours before dawn, a slick
path was staked out, planned and completed
with unparalleled expertise. On that chilly
October morning, an unsuspecting gunboat
was overtaken, and a seasoned, stow-a-way
mission was accomplished in less than 24
hours.
“What’s this?” my husband bellowed.
“What’s WHAT?” I replied, gulping my
first sip of morning coffee.
“Is this a JOKE?”
“What’s the problem?”
“Did you spill THIS in my shoe?”
“Spill WHAT into WHERE?”

Shirt. Tie. Sports Jacket. Belted slacks.
(Hmm. What’s missing in this picture?)
He had ONE shoe and ONE sock on. The
other Size 14 shoe swung dangling from his
left hand as shoestrings jostled mid air.
“Last night, I put these shoes out and
ready for today’s meetings.”
“And your point is…”
“This shoe is STASHED with BIRD
SEED!”
“WHAT?
Birdseed? I only feed
PEANUTS to the squirrels and chipmunks.
Acorns are bombarding our roof and burying

a long, hard winter…” my voice trailed.
“Maybe so. But NO critter’s going to store
his winter stash in MY shoe!” he muttered,
thump-dumping seeds into the wastebasket.

of the HAPHousing
Stevens Memorial Senior Housing (at right) are Charlotte Moreau, Msgr.
Homer Gosselin, Matthew Tibbitts, Jane Siuda and Patti Walter, who went
so far as to try to identify the boys in the photo. “Ludlow Boys Club 7-8

Tony Dias and Mike Ostrowski,” she wrote. Jim Wehner said he recognized the photo as his brother, Tom Wehner’s, basketball team. He took a
guess at identifying the boys as well, also identifying Brian Bylicki, Mike
Ostrowski and Dan Mortimer. How did they do? Can you guess what this

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

2017, call for a 2 percent increase in
each fiscal year.
Police Chief Paul Madera requested
Article 8, which sought to create a parttime (21-hour) weekend night position
for the police department’s dispatch center. The roughly $22,000 a year salary
will be covered by a $40,000 E-911
grant, Madera said. Currently $35,000 of
that grant is being spent on overtime to
maintain adequate staffing on all shifts.
The department’s Special Police officers will see a rate increase with the passage of Article 9, from the current rate of
$11.87 an hour to $15.17. These reserve
officers, who pay their own way through
the academy and receive the same training as full-time police officers, provide
coverage at more than 35 town events,
handle traffic duty and supplement regular patrols as needed. The department
would need to add another 20 full-time
officers to offset their presence, Madera
said.
Although the department is not obligated to pay these officers, who must
volunteer a minimum of 150 hours a
year, they are sometimes provided compensation as a courtesy, he added.
Madera said he has money in his budget
to cover the increase.
“When the budget money runs out,
there is no more pay,” he said.
Madera was initially seeking to raise
the hourly rate to $18.50 – a 56 percent
increase – and will likely seek an additional $3.33 at the Annual Town Meeting
in May.
Voters approved Article 10, which
sought $34,140 to cover a projected
shortfall in the fire department’s rescue
pumper replacement project that was
approved at the May 12 Annual Town
Meeting. The monies will be used to
fund corrosion prevention measures that
will extend the life of the vehicle.
“This is a 25-year investment for the
town,” Rooney said.

Randall’s Farm “Fall Festival” continues, open weekends from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. through Oct. 26!
Fire Chief Mark Babineau said side
impact roll protection will also be
installed in the pumper. He said roughly
100 firefighters are killed in the U.S.
every year, and 25 percent of those
deaths are a result of apparatus-related
accidents en route to or returning from a
call.
Article 14 changed the notice requirement (from 48 hours to 30 days) for
individuals seeking written permission
from the Board of Selectmen to hold a
parade or procession on public streets or
sidewalks.
Article 15, relating to an amendment
to Chapter IV of the town’s bylaws
regarding Regulating the Conduct of
Citizens, generated some discussion.
The new section, which would require
property owners to maintain vacant and
abandoned property, extended the grace
period (up to 60 days) and instituted an
appeal process.
Rooney said this article was originally included on the warrant of a Special
Town Meeting last October, but it was
revised following suggestions from
some precinct members. He said the
impetus for the article was a complaint
he received from a Noel Street resident
who lives across the street from a blighted property. The foreclosed property is
bank-owned, and the bank’s attorney
informed the town it has no recourse
because there is no bylaw in effect.
�That individual has to look out every
day at an absolute pigsty of a house that
the town of Ludlow is powerless to do
anything about because we don’t have a
bylaw,” Rooney said. “It’s unfair to the
neighbors.”
Precinct member Tim Donnelly said
he was opposed to the article because
there were “too many discretionary
determinations.” Derek DeBarge agreed.
“I think this is too ambiguous to go
forward,” he said.
Precinct member Ryan Pease, a captain with the Ludlow Fire Department,
said he’s personally seen a number of
these blighted properties in his capacity
as the department’s fire prevention officer and urged approval of the article.
“To me it’s a quality of life issue,” he
said. “It’s also a public health and a safety issue.”
Article 22, which sought a zone
change from Agriculture to Residential
A for the purposes of subdividing a 1.8
acre parcel at 18 Chapin St., resulted in
some debate. Rosemary Brodeur, who
resides at 25 Chapin St., said 19 residents from Chapin and Miller streets and
Batista Circle signed a petition opposing
the article. Chief among their concerns is
well water contamination.
“We are set back below road-grade
heading back to the river,” Brodeur said.
“Anything they do to the road affects
us.’
The disruption of a natural wildlife
pathway in the area was also noted.
“We are at Tin Bridge,” she said. “We
are the last bastion.”
Building more than one house on the
subdivided property would change the
character of the rural area, she added
Planning Board member Ray Phoenix
said any suggestion that the Planning
Board gave a cursory nod when preapproving this article was a “gross misrepresentation” of the process.
“Something is going to be on that
piece of property; the people that own
that property have the right to develop
it,” he said. “We can’t say no to everything. We have to say yes to (what’s best
for the town).”
Property owner Marco M. Vieira
attempted to speak, but a motion to
extend the debate failed with a head
count. Article 22 passed overwhelmingly.
Voters also approved a zone change
from Residential B and Residential A to
Business A for a parcel of land at 18
Canterbury St. owned by Antonio
Sebastiao. Dos Santos, who was in
attendance and was allowed to speak
although he is no longer a resident, said
this was a “clean-up” article to conform
the lot to East Street’s Business A designation.
Article 23, which concerned a zone
change from Agriculture to Industrial A
for a parcel at Lot B Lawton Street, was
withdrawn by the Planning Board.

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

rules, visit RedRibbonWeek.org.
SPRINGFIELD – Three members of the Ludlow
High School Class of 2014 were among the over 335
academically-outstanding students who received a total
of over $232,000 in college scholarships for the 201415 academic year from Big Y World Class Markets.
Brandon Nowakowski received the Big Y
Scholarship for Academic Excellence, and Marcus
Lafayette and Nina Roxo both received the Gerald &
Pal D’Amour Founders’ Scholarships for Academic
Excellence.
Unlike most area scholarships, these awards are
based on academic merit, regardless of financial need.
Big Y’s Scholarship Program reflects their longstanding
commitment to education and is considered to be one of
the most competitive in New England, with thousands
of students applying each year.
Since this program was founded in 1984, $3.5 million has been awarded to more than 4,700 students.
“We are grateful to be in a position to fill a real need
in the communities we serve by recognizing the hard
work, dedication to excellence and outstanding academic achievement of so many fine young men and women
who are our neighbors in our marketing area. This
exercise also serves as a humbling reminder to us all to
continue to strive for excellence,” said Donald H.
D’Amour, Big Y chairman and CEO. “My personal congratulations go out to all of our winners.”
Scholarship applications for the upcoming 2015 –
2016 academic year will be available at all of Big Y’s
63 locations, including Fresh Acres and Table & Vine,
from mid-October through January. Applications will
also be available at school guidance offices within Big
Y’s market area. To be eligible, a student’s permanent
residence or school must be located within Western and
Central Massachusetts, Norfolk County, Massachusetts,
or the state of Connecticut. Completed applications
must be submitted by Feb. 1, 2015.

Lady Lions nearing District spot
Juniors knock
off Longmeadow
McCarthy picks up
shutout
LUDLOW - What do you get when
you pit one football program that is rich
with tradition and has a storied history
versus a young, upstart program that is
loaded with talent and seeking recognition across the football landscape?
The answer - simply an amazing day
of youth football! Such was the case on
Sunday as the Ludlow Football
Association welcomed Longmeadow to
Whitney Park for a Week 6 SAFL
match up. And while the results didn’t
quite lean in the home team’s favor
(two losses and a victory), the Lions
showed that they can definitely play
with the big boys.
Although the Pee-Wee team eventually fell 28-14, this was a game that was
much closer than the final score would
indicate. Ludlow’s lineman owned the
first half, playing their best football to
date. After holding Longmeadow to a
four-and-out on their opening series, the
offensive line opened up some nice
holes for Ryan Kennedy and Brady
DeBarge, who would put the Lions on
the board first with a lengthy scoring
run. Longmeadow would answer but
failed on the conversion play to keep
the Lions’ lead at 8-6. Longmeadow
would threaten again but a key touchdown saving tackle by Lily

LUDLOW - Alyssa Szymczyk and
Emily McGourty are two of the eight
seniors listed on the Ludlow girls varsity soccer roster.
Szymczyk and McGourty, who have
known each other since they were in the
sixth grade, combined for the Lady
Lions first goal against Agawam leading
to a 2-0 shutout victory in a non-league
match played under the lights at Ludlow
High School, last Tuesday night, Sept.
30.
“Emily and I have been friends since
we were in the sixth grade,” Szymczyk
said. “When we were in the eighth
grade, we combined for a goal in the
PVJLS (Pioneer Valley Junior Soccer
League) finals, but this was the first
time that we combined for a goal in a
varsity game. It was a pretty good feeling.”
It was the Lady Lions, who had a 71-3 overall record at the beginning of
this week, third consecutive shutout and
sixth overall this season. They’ve gone
5-0-3 since losing at East Longmeadow,

CHICOPEE - There are many expressions that are used in sports to describe
ties. Some are less flattering than others.
The boys soccer game between Ludlow
and Chicopee, in the eyes of many from
Ludlow would likely be categorized in
not so pleasant terms.
Seven minutes into the game, the
Lions scored a goal and continued to
have an edge in possession through the
first half. They outshot the Pacers, 10-6.
At approximately the same point in the
second half, 7:00, Chicopee evened the
score. They were still outshot by
Ludlow, but the ball was kept out of the
net and the Lions went home, with a tie.
In the first minute Brad Garete got a
shot from the side of the Chicopee goal
and Josh Rogowski came out to get. In
the third, Chicopee had a big opportunity
after a Cody Jones corner kick. The ball
went into the crowd in front of the net.
Brendan Berube got off a shot that was
stopped by Tyler Diotalevi. The ball
rebounded to Atheer Albahadly, who put
one on Diotalevi. All of that led to
another corner kick for Jones.
In the sixth minute, the Lions broke
downfield Zach Frangules, Josh Labonte
and David Goncalves leading the charge.
LaBonte found Frangules about 5 yards
away from the left post and pushed a
pass to him. Frangules found the opening between Rogowski and the post with
7:07 played, Ludlow had a 1-0 lead.
The teams moved back and forth up
and down the field after that. In the 11th
minute Jones had another corner kick.
In the 14th, Batuhan Citlak was wide
right with a shot. In the 20th, Goncalves
had a corner kick for the Lions. After
Chicopee cleared, the broke downfield,
where Dan Vazquez was able to get a
shot from 20 yards that bounced off the
crossbar.
Frangules had a break in the 28th
minute and got off a shot from 10 yards
out. Rogowski knocked it away.

look down at the field.
Seconds later, it was Davin Kendall with
a shot to the left of the goal.
As the first half went into the final
10:00, the action slowed. Then in the
final 6:00, it picked up. Berube sent a
35-yarder just to the left of the goal in
the 34th minute. Diotalevi went after it.
Jones had a free kick in the 35th and in
the 38th, Rogowski covered up a 10yard shot from David Goncalves.
The half ended with Ludlow leading
1-0.
The second half started out much like
the first, with Ludlow pressuring at the
Chicopee end. After the Lions swarmed
the net, Bruno Machado had a corner
kick in the second minute, which went
right in front of the goal. Rogowski
came out a few feet to kick it away. A
minute later Chicopee got the ball downfield where Brandon Bailey sent one
through the crease past Diotalevi.
In the fourth minute, Goncalves had a
free kick from the ten. He veered away
from the ball and Machado kicked it, but
it was blocked at the wall set up by the
Pacers.
In the sixth minute Chicopee managed to clear the ball and that led to a
Jones corner kick. When the Lions were
unable to clear the ball, Kaleb Figueroa
picked it up at about the 15-yard line.
He passed it inside to Bailey at the 5.
The pass was high and Bailey out
jumped the defender to head it past
Diotalevi for the tying goal. The time
was 6:53 into the second half.
Chicopee tried to keep up the pressure and in the ninth minute, Mike

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

Falcons top Wolf
Pack in shootout
SPRINGFIELD – The Springfield
Falcons topped the Hartford Wolf Pack,
3-2, Saturday night in a shootout at the
MassMutual Center.
Falcons goaltender Anton Forsberg
stopped 21 of 23 shots in victory. Wolf
Pack goaltender Jason Missiaen turned
away 10 of 11 shots before being
replaced by Jeff Malcolm, who allowed
one goal on 15 shots. The Falcons were
unable to convert on two power-play
opportunities. The penalty kill unit shut
down the Wolf Pack’s only man-advantage.
After a scoreless first period, the
Falcons struck first at the 3:29 mark of
the middle frame. Austin Madaisky
passed to Mike Hoeffel, who skated the
puck into the offensive zone and took a
wrist shot from the left circle. The high
shot slid under the crossbar to give the
Falcons a 1-0 lead. Springfield increased
their lead over Hartford at the 11:34
mark. Trent Vogelhuber brought the
puck across the slot and passed back to
the stick of Hubert Labrie. Labrie beat
Malcolm to add another Springfield
tally. T.J. Tynan was credited with the
secondary assist.
The Wolf Pack answered with 3:57
remaining in the second period. Forsberg
made the initial save on a Nick Tarnasky
shot. Shawn O’Donnell was able to get a
stick on the puck and slid it over the
goal line. Vinny Saponari picked up a
point for the helper. The Falcons entered
the second intermission leading, 2-1.
Hartford scored once more in the
third period to force overtime. Andrew
Yogan passed back to O’Donnell, who
one-timed the feed past Forsberg from
the right circle at the 11:26 mark.
Saponari earned his second point of the
contest with the secondary assist.
A scoreless overtime frame led to a
shootout. Tynan scored the game-winner
in the first round with a quick backhand
shot over Malcolm’s left pad.
The Springfield Falcons will open the
2014-15 regular season at Syracuse Oct.
11 and Oct. 17 before returning to the
MassMutual Center to host the Hershey
Bears at 7 p.m. on Oct. 18.
Falcons fall to Bruins
The Falcons fell to the Providence
Bruins, 5-1, Friday night at the
MassMutual Center.
Falcons’ goaltender Oscar Dansk
stopped 23 of 28 shots, while his Bruins
counterpart, Jeremy Smith, turned away
22 of 23. The Falcons were able to convert on one of three power play opportunities. The penalty kill unit allowed two
goals on six Bruins man-advantages.
The Bruins opened scoring and carried a 1-0 lead into the first intermission.
Tyler Randell scored a power-play goal
for the Bruins at the 6:52 mark. Randell
powered a shot from the left point while
the Falcons were down a man due to a
high-sticking penalty. Joe Morrow and
Jared Knight each picked up a point for
the assist.
Springfield scored once in the middle
frame, but allowed two Providence
goals, ending the period down, 3-1.
Domenic Monardo received a pass from
Ryan Craig in the crease and put the
Falcons on the board with a power-play
goal 37 seconds into the period. Lukas
Sedlak earned a point for the helper. The
Bruins responded three minutes later.
Knight redirected a pass from Randell to
put Providence back on top, 2-1.
Morrow was credited with the secondary
assist. Providence scored again with a
power-play goal at the 8:38 mark.
Knight passed the puck down to Andrew
Cherniwchan, who set up Randell for his
third point of the game.
The Bruins added two to their tally in
the third period to secure a 5-1 victory
over the Falcons. Cody Sylvester found
the back of the net with an unassisted
shot from the slot at the 2:32 mark. The
Bruins scored for the final time with
4:14 remaining in the game. Dansk
stopped the initial shot from Ben Youds,
but Rob Flick was able to control the
puck and score on the rebound.
Alexander Fallstrom earned a point on
the play with the secondary assist.

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

Berthaiume-Dennette and a stellar
defensive stand kept the Lions’ lead at 86 going into the half. The two teams
traded scores to open the second half
and knot the game at 14-14.
Unfortunately for the Lions, a
Longmeadow interception would allow
the visitors to take the lead for good.
Some bright spots for the Lions included
the defensive play of Mason Marques,
Adrian Leiper and Roniel Traveras, who
chased down a Longmeadow breakaway
runner to the 1-yard line and captivated
the crowd with his own touchdown saving tackle.
The Junior team solidified their spot
in the playoffs with a thrilling 38-22
win. Whereas Longmeadow has tradition and history on their side, Ludlow
has Jamonte Beckett, an exciting firstyear player who creates magic on the
field. Beckett rushed for two touchdowns in the first half, including a spectacular play during which he was
swarmed by two Longmeadow defenders, lost the ball, picked it back up and
continued on into the end zone. Beckett
also had one reception for a touchdown
and one interception on defense. All
around solid play by Ludlow’s defense
held the Knights offense in check for
most of the game. Joe Villano had a key
interception in the first half and Wyatt

Doyle knocked a shot off the side of the
goal. In the 11th, he sent one from the
right side that forced Diotalevi to come
out in order to keep it away from other
Pacers.
In the 12th, the ball was back on the
other end and Goncalves sent a 20
yarder just to the right of the goal. Nick
Dos Santos had a corner kick in the

Garete. A minute after that, Garete was

minute, Rogowski came well out of the
goal to pick up a loose ball. Machado
was wide left from 30 yards.
Jones took a free kick in the 33rd
minute and it was right on goal, where
Diotalevi made the save. It was a similar situation in the 35th as Jacob Parker
put a 30-yarder on Rogowski.
The Lions had one last shot in the
38th minute, when Frangules sent one
through the crease and Garete followed
with a 15-yarder that went over the goal.
The Lions peppered Chicopee with
18 shots, while Diotalevi faced just
eight, stopping seven.

al nurses and one doctor serve as volunteers, but additional medical professionals are always welcome.
“Presently we have about 80 volunteers. Although
we have no ideal goal for the number of volunteers, I
can say, with certainty, that we can never have enough
volunteers,” said Paquette. “Assembling cots is quite
labor intensive, so we can always use additional volunteers for that task.”
The Board of Health is one of several town departments that comprise the Ludlow Local Emergency
Planning Committee (LEPC). LEPC members also
include representatives from the Ludlow Fire and
Police Departments, the Ludlow Public Schools, the
Department of Public Works and the Ludlow Senior

the year, taking summer months off, to coordinate and
implement all aspects of local, state and federal emergency preparedness guidelines.
“Creating the LEPC and the Emergency
Preparedness Team not only ensures the safety of our
community, but it also gives us the opportunity to apply
for funding for related emergency preparedness,”
Paquette said. “We recently purchased a shed to house
our emergency preparedness equipment from funding

wonderful idea,” Pszeniczny continued.
The premise of the program is simple – write down
everything you keep in your wallet – documents, identification cards, credit, ATM/debit cards, membership
cards, etc., and then store the inventory sheet in a
secure place.
Keeping a wallet inventory will help you to provide
information to all relevant financial and business industries to keep your accounts secure and lessen your
exposure to identity theft.
Pszeniczny said there are two ways to complete the
Wallet Inventory form – visit the Ludlow Senior Center
on Thursday, Oct. 23, from 9:30 to 11 a.m., and Senior
Center staff, along with Ludlow Police Officer Jerome
Mayou, will assist you in filling out the Wallet
Inventory form. All information will remain confidential.
Or you can download the forms from the town’s
website at www.ludlow.ma.us/.

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

Program or to download a form, go to

Edward Jones Investments
By Christi Mills
Register Correspondent
LUDLOW – Life-long Ludlow resident Steven Crespo has announced his
recent partnership with Edward Jones
Investments, the largest investment firm
in the country with over 13,000 locations.
To celebrate the partnership, Crespo,
a Ludlow High School graduate, welcomed town officials and residents to an
“Open House” held at his new Ludlow
office, located at 658 Center St., last
Thursday, Oct. 2.
Crespo has a diverse financial background that includes graduating cum
laude from Westfield State University
with a bachelor’s degree in business
management with a concentration in
finance.
Crespo’s certifications include a
Series 7 license (investment advisor/broker), Series 66 license (investment advisor) and a Life and Health license. He is
a member of the ERC Chamber of
Commerce and an Our Lady of Fatima
parishioner. He volunteers for several
charitable organizations including the
Ludlow Rotary Club and the Our Lady
of Fatima Festa Committee.
Crespo said his partnership with
Edward Jones boasts a full brokerage
firm that works with individual investors
to assist them in achieving their financial
goals in a wide range of areas, including

House in celebration of his recent partnership with Edward Jones Investments.
retirement (personal and business), tax
savings, creating an income stream, creating a legacy, protection of assets and
creating a detailed financial plan. He
will be assisted by Edward Jones team
advisors and Judy Saraiva, his Branch
Office administrator.
Crespo also offers advice for 401(K),
457, 403(B), 529 (College Savings
Plan), mutual funds, IRA, stocks/bonds,
CD's, Life/Disability/Long Term insurance and non-profit needs.
“We will strive to become an integral
part of the Ludlow community and will
work with our clients to support them
with their financial needs,” said Crespo.
“We encourage residents from Ludlow
and surrounding communities to stop by
the office any time to allow us to address
their financial concerns.
“I love helping people reach their
financial goals because I find extreme
satisfaction in helping people reach their
financial dreams,” Crespo continued. “I
love to help my clients map out a strategic plan, to customize plans, which will
tailor to their financial needs. I believe
building a relationship, face to face, is
key to a successful relationship. We, at
Edward Jones Investments, strive on
building strong relationships with our
clients.”
Crespo encourages everyone to
schedule a free complimentary financial
review, by appointment only with him.
Office hours are Monday through
Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and by
appointment only on Saturdays. The
office telephone number is 413-5476048.
“On your first complimentary
appointment, I am confident that I will
add value to your financial plan,” said
Crespo. “Please consider giving us a
call to schedule an appointment. I look
forward to meeting you and assisting
you with your financial goals.”
