The reunion aims to bring together former patients so they can show off their progress to hospital staffers, but also to see their friends and other former patients. Bonds between patients are strong, as many of them will spend months at a time living at the hospital working to improve whatever injury or illness they may have. Many of them were teary-eyed, hugging their former physical therapists and chatting with their fellow patients over soup and sandwiches.

Wirth Staff Writer LUDLOW Realizing that parents play an important role in recognizing and treating drug abuse, the Michael J. Dias Foundation and the Ludlow CARES Coalition will host a comprehensive parent drug awareness forum this weekend. Supported by the Ludlow police and fire department s and the Hampden County Sheriff s Department, the adults-only forum will be held at the Gremio Lusitano Club on Winsor Street this Saturday, Sept. 30, from 1-4 p.m. The panel includes Eric Stratton, a firefighter/paramedic whose company, STS Consulting, Inc., specializes in tactical EMS, officer down rescue techniques, and drug education, and Keisha Williams, director of nursing for the Hampden County Sheriff s Department. Half of all new drug users are under the age of 18, so it s up to parents to initiate a conversation with their children if they suspect drug use. Teens who abuse drugs have a greater risk of developing an addiction when they are adults. Common reasons teens abuse drugs include: curiosity; peer pressure; stress, emotional struggles; and a desire to escape. It can be difficult to tell the difference between the pangs of adolescence and actual drug use, but parents can be proactive in talking to their teen to find out what s going on. Some common signs of teen drug abuse include: Bad grades Bloodshot eyes Laughing for no reason Loss of interest in activities Poor hygiene Diminished personal appearance Avoiding eye contact Secretive behavior Unusual tiredness Missing curfew Teen drug abuse can have long-term cognitive effects since the brain is still develop- Please see DRUG PANEL, Page 8 Lesser engages constituents at town hall forum By Rich J. Wirth Staff Writer Turley Publication submitted photo Maureen Rooney, a member of the Michael J. Dias Foundation, queries state Sen. Eric P. Lesser on the availability of Narcan for local police departments at a town hall forum in Ludlow last week. LUDLOW About two dozen constituents attended a town hall forum hosted by state Sen. Eric P. Lesser, D-Longmeadow, at the Ludlow Community Center/Randall Boys & Girls Club last Tuesday. For nearly two hours, Lesser took more than a dozen questions on topics including the state s opioid addiction crisis, the EpiPen bulk purchase program that the senator proposed and the governor signed into law earlier this summer, the economy, and jobs. The senator met with the Board of Selectmen and the School Committee prior to the forum to get an update on a variety of issues affecting the town. Lesser said the EpiPen bulk purchasing bill that was signed into law in July is an example of how legislation can build upon itself. The bulk purchase program will allow the state to leverage its purchasing power to lower the price of EpiPens for families and allergy sufferers who need it. The proposal was based on the successful Narcan bulk purchase program that was created by the Senate in 2015. The program allows cities and towns to buy doses of the overdose-reversal drug Narcan in bulk, reducing the price. The goal of Lesser s amendment was to replicate that success with EpiPens, for which 10,000 schoolchildren in Massachusetts have prescriptions. The senator also discussed his proposed Student Loan Bill of Rights in response to a question from Ludlow High School senior Eric Bastos. Calling it a generation-defining issue, Lesser said the bill would protect student borrowers from deceptive practices by student loan servicers and require those servicers to be licensed by the state. The bill would empower state officials to investigate student complaints and take legal action against servicers that violate this bill of rights, including forcing servicers to repay student borrowers if they were overcharged. In Massachusetts, the average student loan debt has increased by nearly 75 percent over the past decade, from $17,000 to more than $29,000. The bill will also create a student loan ombudsman to defend the interests of students. This appointed official will be a onestop customer service shop so Please see FORUM, Page 9
Page 2 September 27, 2017 The Register LUDLOW Ludlow High School re-brands Lions logo By Chance Viles Staff Writer LUDLOW- After eight years with its existing branding, Ludlow High School has updated the look of its iconic lion logo. The logo was not altered dramatically, but the changes that were made definitely add more energy to the logo. Ludlow swapped out the brighter red for a lighter maroon, added more shadow to the lion and exposed its teeth, and changed the font. The changes are minor, but they are more consistent with current athletic uniform trends. The lion is eight years old and needed a facelift. I ve been here 24 years, and this is the third change-up, and I am excited about it. The new look is a lot more fierce, said Ludlow High School Athletic Director Turley Publications submitted photo Ludlow High School s iconic lion logo has been given a facelift. Tim Brillo. The school teamed up with the Varsity Brands IMPACT Program, which helps schools redesign and rebuild branding for sports departments. Once they had developed an initial rebranding, the logo went through a series of criticisms by staff and school officials. The end result was a new look Ludlow High School is proud of. The process took about three months and was spearheaded by Ludlow administrators and Missy Quiterio of Varsity Brands. A lot of people were involved. Everyone gave feedback; it was a team thing, Brillo said. I think this new one is more consistent with our primary colors, maroon and white. The new logo will appear on all new athletic uniforms, but the mascot uniform will remain the same. Changing the logo is going to be a slow process. According to Brillo, re-branding and swapping the logos takes a lot of time and money. Change is slow, but we are serious about this. People make their own shirts that are black and white; that represents Longmeadow to me. This rebranding though, we want this change, Brillo said. The new shadowing gives the lion logo more depth that brings out shadows, giving the lion a stronger look. Although these updates were for modernity, the colors and general idea of the logo remains consistent with Ludlow s long history. The new Ludlow High School brand reflects the strong, courageous and dignified look that the Lions represent. The colors reflect the traditional maroon and white base that has been consistent since the early 1900s. The addition of grey and black accent colors give the brand a more modern look, Brillo said.

The Register September 27, 2017 Page 3 Petrolati, state housing secretary tour Mills complex By Rich J. Wirth Staff Writer Randall's "Berry" Special CORN MAZE Celebrating 20 Years in the "New" Store! CORN MAZE OPEN WEEKENDS Editor s note: Due to a pagination error, the headline for this article was incorrect in the 9/20 edition. It is being reprinted in its entirety. LUDLOW State Rep. Thomas M. Petrolati, D-Ludlow, and state Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Jay Ash conducted an informal site walk of the Ludlow Mills complex recently. Petrolati said Ash, along with Governor Charlie Baker and Secretary of State William Galvin, has been instrumental in helping to advance redevelopment efforts at the 170-acre site. They are very aware of the project, Petrolati said. Petrolati said redevelopment of the Mills is one of the largest if not the largest economic projects in New England. It is expected to generate roughly $2 million in new tax revenue, spur some $300 million in private investment, and create upwards of 2,000 jobs over the next 20 years. Since purchasing the property in 2011, Westmass Area Development Corporation has already secured over $5.6 million in public funding and attracted over $135 million in private investment for projects that are underway or already completed, Petrolati said. He said the key catalyst was the opening of the $26 million HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital at the Mills back in 2004. A ribbon cutting for WinnDevelopment s $24.5 million senior independent living complex in Mill 10 is expected next month. WinnDevelopment has also proposed a $50 million mixed-use project (market rate apartments, and commercial and retail space) for Mill 10, which features the iconic clocktower. State and federal tax credits will be sought for the project, as they make rehab on old buildings economically feasible. Once the largest brownfields project in New England, the Mills complex is 100 percent clean with no restrictions, making the property desirable for private developers, Pet- THE BEST FRESH FALL FOOD, FLOWERS & FUN 10am-5pm Hayrides to the Maze Maze Games Pumpkin Picking Hayrides Pumpkin Decorating Face Painting Duck Races Free Mini Hay Maze FUN!

The clean-up was facilitated with three EPA grants totaling $600,000. Paving the way for future redevelopment is the planned creation of Riverside Drive: a 4,500-foot access road that will open up development to 60+ acres of light-industrial pre-permanent waterfront property along the eastern-most portion of the complex. The roughly $7 million project will require a two-part ask, including a $3.5 million U.S. Economic Development Administration grant and a matching $3.5 million MassWorks grant. The Board of Selectmen, in July, agreed to apply for and administer those grants. The full-depth construction of Riverside Drive is likely a 2-season Life revolves around the kitchen it can become an art gallery, repair shop, therapist's office, makeshift home office, or party central, where guests tend to gather.

The MassWorks grant would be used for design and engineering, with the EDA grant earmarked for construction. Once the access road, which will be built to subdivision standards, is complete, Westmass will deed and convey the entire right-of-way and the Riverwalk along the Chicopee River to the town as permanently protected open space. The town was awarded a $429,000 MassWorks grant last spring to improve pedestrian safety and provide historical signage along the 1.5-mile Riverwalk. The multiphase project reconnects the community with the Chicopee River for the first time in 160 years.

Page 4 September 27, 2017 The Register Havens named Girl Scout unit service manager By Chance Viles Staff Writer LUDLOW Kristen Havens, 30, a lifelong Girl Scout, has been named Ludlow s unit service manager. Scouting is in Havens blood. She has been a Girl Scout since she was five years old, leading her first troop at 14 and eventually achieving the highest Girl Scout honor, The Gold Award, an award that only 5 percent of Girl Scouts receive. I have been the unit service manager for three months, and it s going pretty well. I am having a lot of fun, Havens said. The former manager is still around, so the transition is smooth. Havens brother is an Eagle Scout, her mother was a Girl Scout leader for 33 years, and her father was a Scoutmaster for 15 years. So when the unit service manager for Ludlow s Girl Scouts stepped down, Havens was an obvious choice for the job. The Girl Scouts requested me for the position, which surprised me; they thought I could handle it because Girl Turley Publications submitted photo Kristen Havens, far right, Ludlow s new unit service manager, poses with her troop after a zip-lining event. Scouting is what I do, it s in my blood. The old manager also asked me to takeover, and thinking about it, it s the next step in Scouting, so I thought I d give it a try, Havens said. The unit service manager coordinates events between all of the troops in any given area. Havens meets with the leaders of the troops to plan events, get reports and keep communication going between troops. Thus far, the summer is a slow going time for us, so it hasn t been bad. There were a few challenges with some events we have had, but we have a solid team of leaders that have been supportive, Havens said. One upcoming event is an information night on Oct. 18 at the Elks Lodge on Chapin Street starting at 6:30 p.m. The night will have games and crafts for the kids, and information for parents interested in enrolling their child in the Girl Scouts. We have kind of a unique problem going on. Most of our Scouts are older, whereas typically Scouts quit in grade five or six because that is when it becomes uncool, so I am hoping to get younger girls involved, Havens said. Currently, there is only one Daisy troop and one Brownie troop. The rest of the eight troops in town are of an older age group. I am hoping the event encourages younger girls to join. We really want to expand to a younger crowd and grow, Havens said. St. Elizabeth s famous meat pies are coming LUDLOW St. Elizabeth Parish will be making those wonderful French meat pies from Oct. 11-31. Individual size pies are again $3.50 each, and orders may be placed Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. by calling the rectory at 583-3467. After Oct. 11, you may also call our Pastoral Center at 547-0239. The last day to order meat pies is Oct. 31; the last day to pick up your pies is Nov. 2. Pies can be picked up at the Pastoral Center, 201 Hubbard St., Monday through Friday from 12-5 p.m. Orders are taken and filled on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Early orders are recommended. The Addams Family, the Musical coming to the Exit 7 Players Theater LUDLOW The Exit 7 Players is proud to announce its fall production, The Addams Family, the Musical. Show dates are October 20, 21, 27 & 28 and Nov. 3 & 4 at 8 p.m., and October 22 & 29 and Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. In the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, to be sad is to be happy, to feel pain is to feel joy, and death and suffering are the stuff of their dreams. Nonetheless, this quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family creates the focus: the Addams kids are growing up. The Addamses have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years, and Gomez and Morticia, the patriarch and matriarch of the clan, would be only too happy to continue living that way. Their dark, macabre, beloved daughter Wednesday, however, is now an 18-yearold young woman who is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family the most un-addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse, she has invited the Beinekes to their home for dinner. In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they ve managed to avoid for generations: change. This show is directed by Christina Climo, musically directed by Dan Monte, and choreographed by Marybeth Mizula. Tickets prices are $22 (preferred), $20 (adult) and $18 (seniors over 62/ children 12 and under) and are available through the Exit 7 Players Theater website at www.exit7players.org or via phone at (413) 583-4301. Discounted group tickets are also available by calling the box office.

The Register September 27, 2017 Page 5 Ludlow native named Chicopee s new city engineer By Chance Viles Staff Writer CHICOPEE Elizabeth T. Botelho was hired as Chicopee s new city engineer back in August, and so far, she has been loving every minute of it. Botelho grew up in Ludlow, but also lived in Chicopee for 10 years. She attended Springfield Technical Community College, then left western Massachusetts to study engineering at Northeastern University. Botelho found herself back in western Massachusetts working in consulting for Tighe & Bond, but eventually found herself wanting something more. I was at Tighe & Bond for 11 years. I began to want a change. I liked it there and great people work there, but I wanted to work with the community I grew up in. I could see myself in this position, and when the opportunity came I took it, Botelho said. Botelho, the mother of a 5-year-old son, feels a strong connection to Chicopee, and having an opportunity to serve the public was the change she was seeking. In consulting you don t really deal with the public or requests. You have a job and you finish it. Working a municipal position, I hear requests from the public or [city] councilors, Botelho said. Botelho s father owns a butcher shop, J.B. Meats, in Ludlow, and her uncles own a Portuguese restaurant called Come E Cala-Te. Having family in the community Botelho lives and works in is important. I have a great support system. I stayed in the area for this, the family. My parents, uncle, sister all live in the area and, fortunately, I have them for help when I need it, Botelho said. When not working as city engineer, Botelho plays indoor soccer. She is also the assistant coach of her son s soccer team. I like the closeness of work and home. I am so close to the [former] Fairfield Mall, where I worked when I was 19. Being here, I love seeing all of the progress and development in the city, really seeing the changes, Botelho said. Botelho began working toward the end of the department s busy season, as summer projects are wrapping up. Although bidding for projects and planning begins in the fall, Botelho finds herself busy making sure projects finish smoothly. We have a redundant pipe being put in that is near completion. We are wrapping up our 2017 road re-construction projects and a few other projects, too. I am busy with that but beginning to switch gears to look ahead at future projects and what we can do to make the city better, Botelho said. Public Square Rosary Crusade 100th Anniversary LUDLOW In this year of the Fatima Centennial, the world is at a historic crossroad. God is more offended than ever as people ignore Our Lady s maternal request to stop offending God. Yes we must listen to Our Lady s request and stop sinning if we hope to enjoy God s blessings and to avert his wrath. He will hear us if we pray through the intercession of his Blessed Mother. That s why we re doing the 2017 Public Square Rosary Crusade. In The Secret of the Rosary St. Louis de Montfort said: Public Elizabeth T. Botelho prayer is far more powerful than private prayer to appease the anger of God and call down His mercy, and Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Ghost, has always advocated public prayer in times of public tragedy and suffering. Please join in the 2017 Public Square Rosary Crusade today by joining St. Elizabeth Parish on Saturday, Oct. 14, at 12 p.m. for the Holy Rosary. We will gather on church grounds.

The basic tenets of the JA program are to teach students financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship skills in an age-appropriate fashion through interactive volunteer-led lessons. LUSO Federal Credit Union is coordinating a JA in A Day program for eighth-graders at Baird Middle School on Monday, Nov. 6. The program will begin around 8 a.m. and conclude around 2 p.m. as exact times are being coordinated with the school at this time. Many employers support the JA program and often consider the time out of the office as community service time versus employees needing to use personal time. The program being taught is called JA Economics for Success, but don t let the program title scare you. f you know the difference between a debit card and a credit card, and know what a budget is (even if you don t stick to it), you can teach this class. Other concepts covered in the class include credit score, co-pays for insurance, gross income, goal setting, etc., which are all explored through a brief explanation and then an interactive activity. All the materials to teach the class are provided to you as well as volunteer training. A volunteer lunch will also be provided. If this JA in A Day program isn t right for you or doesn t fit your schedule, we have many more JA classes that meet once-a-week over a five- or six-week period for a half hour to 45 minutes. Most of these classes take place in the spring and are for grades K through 7. If you can t volunteer please let others know of this opportunity as the only requirement a volunteer needs is a willingness to spend time with the students and a CORI check by the school district. You may find out more about JA and this program by visiting www. jawm.org.

P. 11 www.register.turley.com Page 6 September 27, 2017 The Register EDITORIAL The skinny on childhood obesity One need not be a dietitian to rightly conclude that the United States has a weight problem. A quick scan of any crowd of Americans bears this out, as do the numbers. A recent study determined that in the U.S. a staggering 69 percent of adults age 20 and up are overweight. Sadly, younger folks aren t much better off, as 20.5 percent of 12- to 19-year-olds are considered obese, as are 17.7 percent of children age 6 to 11. Even kids not far removed from wearing diapers are battling the bulge. Childhood obesity puts kids at risk for health problems that were once only seen in adults, like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease What can we do about this startling trend? According to the Child Health and Development Institute, eating nutritious food, getting ample exercise and limiting the time children spend in front of the TV and electronic devices is not surprisingly a good place to start. In honor of National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, we join the American Psychological Association s Public Interest Directorate in encouraging families to make healthy changes together. Get active outside: Take advantage of the lingering summer temperatures and walk around the neighborhood, go on a bike ride, or play basketball at the park. Limit screen time: Keep screen time (time spent on the computer, watching TV or playing video games) to two hours or less a day. Make healthy meals: Buy and serve more vegetables, fruits and whole-grain foods. Acknowledging the state s childhood obesity crisis, and its likely causes, legislators in neighboring Connecticut voted a bill out of the Committee on Children earlier this year that would impose dietary restrictions and minimum physical activity requirements on child care centers, preschools and elementary schools. We commend the politicians who recognize we have a serious problem on our hands and are attempting to do something about it. We can t just sit by as our children become more and more sedentary and unhealthy. Taking small steps as a family can help your child stay at a healthy weight. To the editor: The Register is on Facebook. Log on today. Talk with your teenagers about vaping Thanks to the tobacco industry targeting our youth, Massachusetts has experienced an increase in vaping (use of e-cigarettes or vape pens) by young people. In my job, I speak with people throughout our region about the dangers of tobacco and about how the tobacco industry targets kids. Usually they are alarmed and surprised to learn that vape pens are not just another harmless fad, but that they usually contain nicotine, a highly addictive substance that is getting them hooked on these products. Nearly 24 percent of high-school-aged youth in Massachusetts report using e-cigarettes and almost 45 percent have used them at least once. Why are so many youth vaping? E-cigarettes or vape pens come in over 8,000 different flavors from Swedish Fish, to s mores, OPINION GUEST COLUMN When does a label involve the law? Legal dilemmas appear during every seasonal change. And, with autumn s arrival it happened again. Whenever I see a black and white, Law Label tag, its directive makes my face flush because of its bold-lettered message: THIS TAG MAY NOT TO BE RE- MOVED UNDER PENALTY OF LAW With sewn-up evidence, it s clearly a civil matter. But as a shopper, I m in a domestic quandary whenever I purchase a soft, comfy and colorfully decorative item that s home fun-ctional. However, far be it for me to judge, but snipping off the labels to cushions, couch pillows, bed pillows and fluffy comforters is not a federal offense. But, by all appearances, it was serious enough to warrant that Legal Notices be stitched into seams of reams of stuffed fabric. As early as the 1900s, packed-full products like bedding and upholstered furniture had Law Labels in order to prevent manufactures from putting filling materials such as horse hair or corn husks inside those household items. Later, laws were passed requiring that the bedding and furniture industries inform consumers of the exact contents and whether it was new or recycled materials. A further safeguard stated: If the consumer chooses to remove these tags, they should be stored in a safe place along with their warranty card. Yes, during earlier decades those attached Law Labels gave customers good reasons for misinterpreting the message because it declared: THIS TAG MAY NOT LETTER TO THE EDITOR to bubblegum to better attract young people. And it s working. Flavors are the leading reason that youth are using e-cigarettes, and the nicotine in these products leads to sustained use. We don t want youth to become the next generation of tobacco users, but Big Tobacco sure does, and flavored e-cigarettes and vape pens are making it possible. More high school youth in Massachusetts are now using e-cigarettes than all other tobacco products combined, AND they are using them nine times more often than adults. The tobacco industry has made these products sweet, cheap, and easy to get because they know that people who start using nicotine products in adolescence have a harder time quitting than people who start as adults. As parents and concerned adults, let s work together to prevent youth from becoming the next generation of BE REMOVED UN- DER PENALTY OF LAW. Then, eventually, to prevent further confusion, newer versions correctly By Joan E. B. Coombs added: EXCEPT BY THE CONSUM- ER. Recently, while chatting about yesteryear s anxiety-ridden moments caused by Law Labels, a family member said, Oh, I remember those labels on our old, lumpy living room sofa! You do? Yeah...It was stuffed with GOAT HAIR. It was? Then, with wit and a wink, my youngest adult offspring quipped, Just kidding, Mom! Yet, just yesterday, still feeling unsure as I snipped off several new Law Labels, I asked my resident legal advisor, If I remove these labels will anything legal happen? With his tall frame sprawled against two new, large, fiber-filled couch pillows, he pronounced: You ll be charged with a Ms. Demeanor. His verdict? A light-hearted sentence. Heretofore, after decades of being a consumer of the softer-side-of-life products, I m finally realizing that, yes, I did do diligence to every, single-stitched n stuffed decree. Thus: no civil consequences. So, perhaps when we take a Law Label into our own hands could that occur only when a label involves the law? customers for Big Tobacco.

The Register September 27, 2017 Page 7 Join the Sea Lions Swim Team LUDLOW Did you know swimming works out all of the body s major muscles? The Ludlow Community Center/ Randall Boys and Girls Club is accepting registration for the Sea Lions Swim Team for ages 5 years and up. The first practice is scheduled on Oct. 2 for all swimmers. Our team focuses on team spirit HEALTHSOUTH from Page 1 I love seeing them walk in this place happy and looking good. The first reunion came about because the pulmonary rehabilitation patients wanted to get together and see each other again, so we figured why not open a reunion to all diagnostics, said Pulmonary Rehabilitation Director Jackie Stacy. The rehab facility has had a presence in Ludlow since the 1990s, but it expanded and relocated to the current building on State Street just under four years ago. The hospital has 53 beds with private rooms, and treats about 1,300 patients yearly. The hospital was made to address patients who have had strokes, injuries, spinal injuries, different things to help them rehabilitate and recover. I myself am a speech pathologist, so we service many, said CEO John Hunt. Events like this allow us to stay in contact with patients and know they are doing well; it s reaffirming for our work. We helped them out, and they like to show us the progress they have made. Among the former patients was John Roberts. Just this July, Roberts fell 20 feet onto the concrete while at work, shattering a portion of his spine, rendering him unable to walk. Roberts, about three months after his injury, walked into the reunion looking happy as ever. I was at another hospital for a few weeks, but came here. I want to start a ladder loss diet, because when you are eating just hospital food you seriously lose weight, Roberts joked. Despite his good humor, Roberts time at HealthSouth was incredibly difficult, but he was determined to regain use of his legs. On my first day at HealthSouth my occupational therapist said, Stand. I told them I couldn t, and they just told me to stand again. I stood up for five seconds then had to sit back down, Roberts said. After I did that she said, Now that we know you can do that, we start tomorrow. Physical and occupational therapy was tough for Roberts and the other patients. It was the hard work these patients put into their recovery that grew the friendships the reunion highlighted. I don t care if you are 5 years old or 100 if you worked hard, I wanted to work hard with you, Roberts said. One of Roberts best friends at the hospital, Leroy Ferdette, also attended the reunion. Holding back tears, Ferdette recounted his time spent in recovery with friends he had made. They put people in a line and have you go through exercises. It was so hard at first. I came because I couldn t use my and learning good sportsmanship. Swimmers will learn about various competitive swimming strokes and make friends along the way.

Events like this allow us to stay in contact with patients and know they are doing well; it s reaffirming for our work. We helped them out, and they like to show us the progress they have made. HealthSouth CEO John Hunt leg. The difficulty absolutely strengthens relationships, and it s important. John, he s younger, but I am 83, and we helped each other through it, Ferdette said. I felt bad. I got to leave a week before him, and so did a lot of our other friends. It s good to see them today. Despite the excruciating pain and the months spent going through recovery, patients like Roberts and Ferdette have nothing but positive things to say about their care. John Hunt checked in on me almost every day. He talked about normal things, not my injury. It made me feel less alone, Roberts said. My PT and OT, I lovingly call them the evil step-sisters because they were the ones who told me to stand on my first day, and I owe it all to them. I owe my life to John, my therapists, and my wife who visited me daily from Greenfield. Roberts worked with Occupational Therapist Tammy Warren and Physical Therapist Regina Scafariello. The two work as a team, and have helped many patients in the hospital recover from numerous injuries and illnesses. We work well as a team, and our method is to push our patients to the farthest possible limit they can safely reach. It s motivating to them and us, and it s great to see them today and establish this relationship, Scafariello said. Dedicated to their work, the therapists were thrilled to see Roberts and other patients walk into the hospital they first came to disabled. It s been three months, and there is not one day John doesn t comment about Tammy, Regina and John. I think without those people he wouldn t be where he is today. The hospital was far from home, but knowing the great care he d get, it was worth it, said Robert s wife, Debi. It was all of these people and guys like Leroy that stopped me from slipping into a depression, stopped me from being so down on myself and my life, Roberts said. I came back to the reunion today to see my friends, but also to let them see me where I am at now. I walked into this building, and I owe it all to them.

Hinz, who tried to pass herself off as Marilyn Monroe, happily tells us the day of the reunion was also Dutton s birthday.

DRUG PANEL from Page 1 ing. Nuno Mateus, a residential supervisor in the pre-release program at the Hampden County Correctional Center and a Dias Foundation board member, said he was spurred to action after viewing a training film detailing the affects of drugs on the body. In the video, a CAT scan conducted on a 19-year-old Pennsylvania teen that had been abusing Ecstasy (a synthetic, recreational drug that alters mood and perception) showed that parts of her brain were missing. The doctors likened her condition to someone with Alzheimer s disease, said Mateus, the parent of two children ages 11 and 13. I wish more parents knew Pick Your Own APPLES Sat. & Sun. 8-5.

He has worked for both private and hospital-based ambulance services in western Massachusetts and Connecticut, and currently works full-time as a firefighter/paramedic for Fire District #1 in South Hadley and per diem for AMR/Springfield. He spent over 18 years with the Hampden County Sheriff s Department, working multiple corrections assignments. He served as corporal training officer for Special Operations for seven years and was later assigned to the Training Division, which focused on defensive tactics and specialized in drug identification and education. Having Eric as a resource is huge, Mateus said. Williams will speak on the characteristics of drug toxicity; the overall effects of drugs on the body; stimulants versus depressants; and how chronic opiate use impacts vital organs. Recognition and prevention of drug use can end an emerging problem before it starts. If we can stay out in front of this and prevent it, think of all the grief, misery and money we d be saving, not to mention years off someone s life, Mateus said.

FORUM from Page 1 students can clearly understand their rights and responsibilities. We have an obligation in Massachusetts to protect our students and our citizens, Lesser said. One constituent asked about the political system and possible changes to how candidates are elected through primaries. Most people are consensus-minded. For most of us, in our lives, in our homes and in our personal relationships, our instinct is not to just attack, Lesser said. There s clearly something sick in our political system right now that creates that incentive structure in our politics. We need our politics to more accurately reflect normal human behavior. Lesser was also asked about east-west rail connecting Boston to Springfield, and discussed the state s regional economic differences and how the rail connection would help the western Massachusetts economy. The economy now is about technology and innovation, Lesser said. We need to connect ourselves, we need growth, we need opportunity that we re seeing in other parts of the state and the country, and I think rail is an important part of that.rail is a win-win for both sides of the state. Lesser also discussed the impact of national health care policies on the commonwealth, breaking healthcare into three components: quality, access and cost. We are well above our peer states in access, he said. Although the cost of going to the doctor or hospital is not rising as fast in Massachusetts as it has in the past, new data released by the state this summer shows per person health care spending is still among the highest in the country. Per person health care spending reached $10,559 in 2014 31 percent higher than the national average and second highest in the nation, behind Alaska. We really need to zero in on cost, Lesser said. Lesser said there has been talk about providing Mass Health and Medicaid funding as block grants,, where each state gets a sum of money to design its own program. Previous proposals by Republican leaders would use this strategy to cut Medicaid funding so states would be faced with the choice of whether to cut eligibility or benefits or use more state money. The plans that are circulating in Washington right now would be an absolute disaster for Massachusetts, Lesser said. Lesser held his third and final town hall forum at Springfield s Greenleaf Community Center on Monday. He met with constituents in Belchertown on Sept. 12.

Page 10 September 27, 2017 The Register IN THE CLASSROOM Sen. Lesser shares civics lesson with Chapin Street third-graders By Anne Marie Corrieri Special to The Register LUDLOW Third-grade students in Room 11 at Chapin Street School were not only celebrating National Talk Like a Pirate Day on Sept. 19, they also had the opportunity to receive a mini civics lesson from state Senator Eric P. Lesser, D-Longmeadow. Since the start of the school year, Lesser has been visiting various elementary classrooms throughout his district to share information about his job responsibilities and how our local, state and federal government works. It s important for students to have memorable civic experiences early on if we truly want them to be active, engaged citizens in the future, Sen. Lesser said. Young people shouldn t feel hopeless or helpless, they should feel powerful. In high school, I helped organize students and teachers to save teachers jobs that had been cut because of budget decisions made miles away in Boston instead of in our own community. We won that fight because we got engaged. The lesson is you can make a difference no matter what age you are. Earlier this year, Sen. Lesser introduced legislation that encourages school districts to teach civics and news media literacy. It directs the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to establish voluntary pilot programs to test the curriculum on news media literacy and include a civics participation project at least once in elementary school and at least once in high school. Lesser explained his job responsibilities, including how part of his job requires that he work together with other state senators to pass laws, explaining to students, A law is a rule that everyone has to follow. Turley Publications submitted photo State Sen. Eric P. Lesser reads the book Madam President by Lane Smith to third-graders at Chapin Street School last Tuesday. The school marked National Talk Like a Pirate Day on Sept. 19. He went on to discuss how it is his job to listen to all sides of an issue before voting on a law, such as how many days students will attend school each year. We discuss ideas the pros and cons and sometimes the Senate needs to compromise for the best interest of everyone. Right now you go to school for 180 days, Some might say you should go for 365 days, and others might think 50 days is enough, but 180 days is meeting in the middle; it s a good compromise. The Senate compromises on all kinds of different issues. The discussion continued to include conversations about various laws along with students sharing some of their own ideas for possible laws; including making items less expensive, having a free shopping day, and to only have school on Fridays. [These are] all great ideas, said Sen. Lesser, but there would definitely need to be some compromises. Much to the delight of the students, Sen. Lesser read Madam President, an illustrated children s book by Lane Smith. In the book, a little girl imagines what her day would be like if she were the Presi- dent of the United States. Chapin Street School Principal Nikki Reed reminded students that the book highlighted an area that she reinforces with all third-graders. The author mentioned how the president is a role model and leader. Now that you all are third-graders you know the school expectations and rules, and each of you need to be positive role models to the second-graders, and leaders of our school. Lesser also visited elementary schools in Belchertown, Chicopee, Granby and Longmeadow.

AGAWAM - The first meeting of the regular season between the Ludlow and Agawam boys soccer teams was a very entertaining affair. The only problem was that neither team was able to put the ball into the back of the net resulting in a 0-0 draw at Harmon A. Smith Field, which is located on the Agawam High School campus, last Monday night, Sept. 18. We had a couple of scoring chances, but we just couldn t put the ball into the back of the net, said Ludlow head coach Greg Kolodziey. Agawam is a very good soccer team and they always play very hard against us. It was a very exciting soccer game, added Agawam head coach Tom Smith.

AAA: Americans are falling for autumn travel Fewer crowds, mild weather and budget-friendly options attract fall travelers REGION Summer s over and kids are back in school, but many people are making plans for at least one more getaway this fall, before the arrival of another busy holiday season. According to a new survey from AAA, more than one in four Americans (28 percent) expects to take a vacation this year between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Boston is on the list of top ten fall destinations, worldwide. We have seen strong demand for travel throughout the course of the year, and Americans are discovering that traveling during the fall season is a best kept secret, said Rick Del Nero, Vice President of Travel for AAA Northeast. Travelers increasingly prioritize immersive travel experiences and autumn offers more opportunities for them to explore a destination s local culture, thanks to fewer crowds and mild weather. In fact, Americans say the top benefits of taking a fall trip include: Fewer crowds and children (68 percent); Weather that is more favorable (63 percent) The opportunity to find better value for the cost of their trip (55 percent). Savvy travelers can often find lower prices on everything from airfare and hotels to cruises and vacation packages, as travel companies offer incentives to fill their vacancies during the fall, Del Nero said. Road trips are the preferred activity for fall travelers, with 62 percent of those planning a vacation intending to pack up their cars and hit the road. Thanks to milder weather, outdoor events such as fall festivals and visits to national and state parks are particularly popular with travelers this time of year. Twenty-six percent of those who are planning a fall vacation will take a trip to view fall foliage, a favorite pastime from the northeast and New England, to the mountains of North Carolina and Colorado. The majority of fall travelers will stay within the United States, with Orlando, southern California, Hawaii and New York the most popular domestic travel destinations, based on AAA Travel bookings. Approximately one-third of fall travelers are planning an international vacation, with European destinations including Rome and London especially popular this time of year.

The Register September 27, 2017 Page 17 Moyer appointed chair of Salvation Army Advisory Board SPRINGFIELD Major David Moore, corps officer of The Salvation Army of Springfield, appointed Amanda Moyer, of Ludlow, as chair of the Advisory Board for The Salvation Army of Greater Springfield. Moyer has been a volunteer since 2011, and became a board member in 2013. Outgoing board chair Sergeant Brain W. Elliott of the Springfield Police Department, noted, Amanda is recognized for her extraordinary effort and tireless commitment. She has really stepped up to ensure each event is well organized, well supported and professionally promoted. She is the right person to keep The Salvation Army mission moving in a positive direction. Moyer, a native of Enfield, Conn., is the director of account services at Market Mentors, LLC, in West Springfield, where she oversees all media buys, graphic and broadcast production work, and manages accounts, budgets and workflow. She was recognized as one of Western Mass Women s Magazine s Top Women to Watch in 2012-2013, and was honored as one of BusinessWest s 40 Under Forty in 2016. Of note during her time as a board member for The Salvation Army, Moyer and her team at Market Mentors helped revive The Salvation Army s local Coats for Kids program, which was established in 1980. During the past two years, over 1,500 coats per year were collected. In 2015, Moyer initiated the Salvation Army s annual Donut Day on the first Friday in June, in partnership with local Dunkin Donuts franchisees, to mark a date in American food history and raise awareness for the critical services that The Salvation Army provides. This year, the Salvation Army of Greater Springfield distributed over 20 dozen free donuts at the Holyoke Soldiers Home in Holyoke. The Salvation Army is one of the oldest and largest health and human service organizations, with more than 3.2 million volunteers.
