Portuguese School hopes to expand enrollment
By Paula Killough
[email protected]
LUDLOW – Since 1972,
the Portuguese School has
offered classes focused on the
Portuguese language, culture,
reading and writing for children in grades 1-6, and now
staff at the school are hoping
to expand enrollment for children and add adult classes,
too.
According to Portuguese
School President Charlene
Fernandes, of Ludlow, the
school has seen some recent
expansion in enrollment,
increasing from 17 students
last academic year to 24 students this year.
“We are trying to at least
double or triple that number,”
she said.
The school first opened on
Dec. 22, 1972. It has been in
its present location at 33
Norwood St., since March
1983, Fernandes said.
The Portuguese School currently has two teachers, Alice
Kites and Cristina Ribeiro
Jorge, both of Ludlow, who
teach two to three different
class levels. There are also
two aides on staff and office

Social Security seminar set for May 5
LUDLOW – Carol Scatolini, of
Scatolini Wealth Management, is
hosting a free social security
seminar open to the public, set
for Tuesday, May 5, from 6 to
7:30 p.m., at the Ludlow Country
Club.
The main speaker will be Kurt
Czarnowski, a former regional
communications director for the
New England area of the Social
Se c u r i t y A d m i n i s t r a t i o n . H e Carol Scatolini
will cover topics, such as when
you can start to collect, how your benefit is calculated and the impact of working in retirement,
as well as several strategies that couples can
employ to maximize their Social Security benefits.
The Social Security retirement program has been
a basic part of American life for over 78 years.
Despite the age, the size, and the economic impact
of the Social Security system, the myths and misunderstandings about what the program is, as well as
what it isn’t, are sizeable.
Now, as Baby Boomers reach retirement age,
they are beginning to realize that Social Security is
going to play a bigger part in their retirement than
they had previously thought. But they are also starting to realize that they don’t know as much about
the system as they should.
To attend the May 5 seminar, please contact
Teresa Chaves at [email protected] or
413-96-9033 to reserve your seat, as space is limited.
Scatolini is a senior financial advisor and the
president of Scatolini Wealth Management, located at 70 Post Office Park, Suite 7004 in
Wilbraham.

Kids unplug during ‘Screen-Free Week’
By Christi Mills
Register Correspondent
LUDLOW –A record-breaking 115
children of all ages signed a pledge to go
“screen-free” at Hubbard Memorial
Library’s fifth “Screen-Free Week” held
last week.
The Kick-Off Party/Idea Fair was held
Thursday, April 16. The goal of ScreenFree Week is to find alternatives to electronic forms of entertainment, like watching television, DVDs and videos, and
playing video games, including handheld games, and using the computer.
Children’s/Youth Services Librarian
July Siebecker came up with the idea for
“Screen-Free Week” six years ago after she
was inspired by the book “The Great Triple
Creek Dam Affair,” by Patricia Polacco.

Assistant Angela Dumas, Allison Fiorentino, 13, volunteer Gail Coelho, Alexis Suarez, 12, and her brother, Anthony, 14, craft
“Yarn Spheres” during Hubbard Memorial Library’s “Screen-Free Week.”
During Hubbard Memorial Library’s
fifth “Screen-Free Week,” “Anime
Marathon” participant Teddy Matayer,
III, prepares to play “Magic the
Gathering.” The marathon was one of
several activities offered to participants.
“She tells a story about a town that lost
its community spirit because everyone
was watching TV,” Siebecker said. “In the
end, people still have their TVs, but they
are wise about how much they watch it.”
Siebecker said that when she started
the program six years ago, the goal was
to limit TV watching, but now “ScreenFree Week” encompasses all screenrelated activities. She said she encourages participants to think of it as taking a
vacation from the screen.
“The program began as a way to combine two interests – to remind children
there are fun things to do that do not
require one to be in front of a screen and
to highlight parts of the non-fiction book
collection that patrons may not always
find just by browsing,” said Siebecker.
“About two weeks prior to this, I think I
am crazy and that no one will do this
because everyone is addicted to screen.
Then, every year, families come in who
are enthusiastic and are thrilled by the
idea of screen-free.”
Participants could choose to pledge to
go screen free for one or more days. Upon
signing their pledge form, they were
given a support kit, which included information about the program, a list of suggestions on what to do instead of watching a screen, and some signs to hang up
on televisions and computers to keep
them turned off.
Twenty-nine exhibits were set up in
the hall to assist participants in keeping
busy while participating in the program.
Some take-home activities included
“Become a Magician,” “Glam-It-Up,”
“Quicksand,” “Take a Hike,” and “Learn
a Language.”
Screen-Free Week events included
“Yarn Spheres,” a Mad Science “The
Dirt of Garbage” workshop, a
“Masterbuilders Lego” workshop, “Kite
Making,” and “Junk Robot Sculptures.”
“I liked making the landfill at Mad
Science,” said Nathan Colon, 8, of Ludlow.
“I love science, so that was fun to do.”
Ludlow resident Allison Fiorentino,
13, said she really enjoyed making her
yarn sphere, and she thought the sphere
was a fun and cool thing to make.
Fiorentino plans to hang it in her bedroom.
“I am very grateful to the many volunteers, I believe close to 20, who spent
hours and hours getting the activity kits
ready. I am also thankful to my fellow
worker Angela, the Friends of Ludlow
Public Library and Campaign for a
Commercial-Free Childhood organization,” said Siebecker. “And of course, I
want to thank the parents and the children for taking time out to see what
‘Screen-Free Week’ is all about.”

PORTUGUESE SCHOOL
from Page 1
The school’s schedule follows the schedule of the
Ludlow Public Schools, beginning in September and
closed during school holidays, vacations and snow
days, Fernandes said.
“We have a comprehensive program,” said
Fernandes. “If students wanted to start here in first
grade, by the time they got into the middle school or
high school, they would be proficient in
Portuguese.”
In addition to learning the Portuguese language,
reading and writing and lessons on Portuguese culture, students who complete grade 6 of the program
will receive a diploma and a certificate from the
Department of Education in Portugal.
“And it is recorded in Portugal that they have
completed six years of school,” said Fernandes.
The cost of the program is $500 per year.
As a non-profit organization, the cost to run the
Portuguese School is between $17,000 and $20,000
annually.
“We only get about $10,000 in revenue from students, and the rest is via donations,” said Fernandes.
Major donors are Dunkin Donuts’ and the Salema
Family, Baltazar Construction and the Dias
Foundation, all of Ludlow.
Donations are also made via materials and services. Most recently, JCA Restorations in West
Springfield donated labor and materials for a new
roof at the school. Having saved enough money to
install new windows, JCA Restorations will provide
the labor. Future projects include siding replacement.
“To keep the school going, we have to maintain
the structure,” Fernandes said.
Along with monetary and service donations, educational supplies are needed. While the school does
have Internet access, computers are also needed.
“The more we can upgrade, the better education
the teachers can provide,” said Fernandes. “Teachers
do provide outstanding education now, but we would
like to get into the 21st century.”
To increase revenue, Fernandes said that in addition to expanding enrollment for children in grades
1-6, the school hopes to offer Portuguese classes to
adults and even English classes to Portuguese speaking adults.
Hoping to make the school more visible,
Fernandes said that last year, staff set up a table at
Our Lady of Fatima Parish’s annual Festa. She
hopes to increase visibility via planned fundraisers,
as well.
To learn more about the Portuguese School, call
413-589-7101.

GUIDED
STEPS

For most of us, a “walk in the park” is
simple, accessible and pleasurable. However,
for those who are sight impaired or legally
blind, it is a difficult challenge and for only
those who are brave at heart. Unless one has
a way to have guided steps with a family
member, a friend, a white cane, or with a
trained, four-footed Guide Dog, any “walk in
the park” is an obstacle course.
The Plant Swap is held at 451 Miller St.,
Arrive early at 5:45 p.m., and enjoy a Garden
Walk. Swapping begins promptly at 6:15 p.m.
The cost is $2 per person.

According to McAvoy, Cruz is an
avid listener of jazz, is a member of the
LHS Concert and Ludlow Community
Band, and she recently participated in
the MMEA Western District Junior
Festival Jazz Ensemble where she played
second alto saxophone.
Greenwood studies jazz and rock guitar and often performs outside of school
as well as plays in several youth bands.
He is also the founder of the LHS Guitar
Club.
“Ron and Isabelle both play in the
LHS Jazz Band and have shown an interest in learning jazz that goes beyond the
classroom. I am glad they took advantage of the opportunity,” said McAvoy.
“Jay is one of the best jazz guitar players
in the area, so I have no doubt that both
Isabelle and Ron will benefit musically
from this experience while at the same
time helping to promote jazz in our community.”
“I will play for anyone, anywhere,
anytime,” said Greenwood. “I just love
music.”
Cruz said she was happy to be given
such a great opportunity, as it advances
her jazz skills.
“Mr. Messer was very kind. He is a
pro. He is very good at what he does,”
said Cruz. “He made my performance at
EB’s less nerve-wracking. I am very
happy and thankful he gave me such a
wonderful opportunity. It was fun and
interesting.”

9th that they thank them for all their
efforts with this drive,” she said.
Since 1992, letter carriers have
collected food donations in 10,000

the NALC Food Drive. Since its
inception, the NALC Food Drive has
collected over 1.3 billion pounds of
food.

And who would know more about a 14year, guided-steps relationship better than
Melissa Tracy? In 2001, she was the first
graduate of Boston’s Perkins School for
the Blind to have her own licensed, resident service dog, “Carly!” Then Melissa,
who is also hearing-impaired, commuted
to, attended and graduated from Holyoke
Community College, earning her
Associate’s Degree in Human Services.
“Carly dedicated her life to me.”
Melissa said, “She also had a second
chance to be the kind of girl she was.

(L-R) Ludlow High School sophomore Ronald Greenwood, 16, and freshman
Isabelle Cruz, 15, are joined by professional jazz musician Jay Messer.
Greenwood and Cruz recently performed at the “Youth Jazz Connection,”
held at EB’s Restaurant, in Agawam.
According to Messer, the idea for a
youth jazz workshop is something he
had been thinking about for some time.
He said it saddens him, as years go by,
that there is less interest in performing
jazz, especially among young people.
“Jazz is one of the only art forms
truly born in America,” said Messer. “I
am hoping this project, to which I’m
donating my time can spark some
excitement in area high school jazz
band students and their friends.
“The workshop allows students to
learn more about the genre, interpreting
melody and improvisation,” Messer
continued. “They also get a taste of
what it is like to play in front of a small,
intimate gathering, which jazz often is.
I hope it not only instills in them the
desire to continue forward with jazz,
but persuade others to join them.”
‘I am very proud of my daughter.
She is very talented,” said Cruz’s mother, Melissa. “I think it is great that Jay
gives students such a wonderful opportunity.”
The Youth Jazz Connection at EB’s
is open to all local high schools that
currently have any type of jazz element
as part of their music curriculum. Area
high school music directors are encouraged to contact Messer through his
website at www.jaymesser.com or via
email at [email protected] for
information on booking Connection
sessions.
We survived many challenges together…Guide dogs are trained to be aware
of their surroundings. Carly protected
me…We traveled many places together:
traveling by train, plane, bus, ferry, car
and even a hayride! And all along the
way we made new friends.”
Melissa shared a fun side of her fourpawed companion.
“Some of Carly’s favorite activities
were tug-of-war, digging through trash,
sticking her head out of the window,
walking, swimming and meeting new
people,” she said.
“It’s not permissible to pet a Guide
Dog if they have their ‘working clothes’
or a harness on,” Melissa said. “Carly
wore her orange harness labeled: ‘Don’t
pet me. I’m working.’ It taught many
people about what a service dog does
and how to interact with us as a team.”
As Melissa touched the pages of Carly’s
scrapbook, her eyes sparkle and her smile
reveals her joy and confidence: “I never
would have achieved my independence
without Carly. It’s been a few years since
her passing, but I’ll see her again.”
Meanwhile, Melissa is training
“Biscuit,” her three-year old, purebred
Beagle, to be a Therapy Dog, with the
purpose of bringing cheer and comfort to
those who may be homebound, in rehabilitation or a care facility.
She explained, “Guide Dogs assist the
blind, and Seeing-Eye Dogs and Hearing
Ear Dogs, which Carly was, assist both
the visually and hearing impaired.”
Melissa speaks of another goal: “I
meet many dog lovers who travel to East
Longmeadow’s Bark Park. We talk about
safe dog food and treats. I have recipes!
I’d like to make, bake, and market dog
biscuits!”
Helen Keller, Melissa’s role model,
wrote, “When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so
long at the closed door that we do not see
the one which has been opened for us.”
Melissa’s guided steps are so courageous, independent, enthusiastically
ambitious and inspiring. Let’s join with
her, pause, and praise all those involved
with the global recognition of
International Guide Dogs Day.

be our last.”
The evening’s festivities included an
indoor demonstration by Monson Police
Canine Officer David Rondeau and his
police dog Storm, who was joined by
Wilbraham Police Canine Officer Joe
Brewer and his police dog Charon.

“K-9 Pasta Dinner” fundraiser, held
Friday, April 24, at the Polish
American Citizens Club.
Ludlow Police Canine Officer Mike
Whitney, who was unable to attend.
“It is an honor to be brought in to fill
in for Mike, although they are mighty
big shoes to fill,” said Rondeau. “Mike
has been doing this for a long time,
much longer than we have. He is a great
guy.”
“It is my pleasure to stand in for
Mike, and it is great to be asked to be a
part of raising funds that will assist the
Ludlow K-9 unit,” added Brewer.
The demonstration included demonstrations in both obedience and aggression control. During the aggression control demonstration, Brewer was the
“decoy,” and Storm was the apprehending police dog.
“The demonstrations were great,”
said Ludlow Police Officer Paul
Dobek. “This fundraiser is a worthwhile event for a worthwhile unit in
our department. Mike does a great job
at what he does. He is a credit to our
department and to our town.”
According to Rondeau and Brewer,
Storm, 4, Charon, 7, and Ludlow’s
patrol dog, Rocky, also 7, all German
Shepherds, are Full Patrol certified
and are considered dual purpose
dogs. They are used for patrol in
tracking, area searches, evidence
recovery and handler protection and
are utilized for narcotics by identifying the presence of cocaine, marijuana, heroin and methamphetamine.
They, along with Whitney and Rocky,
also assist neighboring communities
when needed.
Rondeau said K-9 units are a huge
asset to police departments, especially
now, as Ludlow and surrounding communities are currently dealing with the
effects of opiate addiction.
“Neighboring police departments
assist each other on a daily/weekly
basis,” said Rondeau. “It is good to
know they are there when you need
them.”
“It is nice to see so many people
come out to support our K-9 unit. Our

Bruneault to receive Kellie Hamre
Kenney Scholarship for Nursing
CHICOPEE – The Kellie Hamre
Kenney Scholarship Committee is
pleased to announce its 2015 scholarship
recipients. Among the recipients is
Alyson Bruneault, of Ludlow, a student
at the University of Massachusetts at
Amherst.
The scholarship award was established in memory of Kellie Hamre
Kenney to assist local students in their
pursuit of an education in the field of
nursing. The committee selects recipients who best exemplify the ideals of
teamwork and sportsmanship, academics
and perseverance – with the utmost
integrity and fun.
The recipients were honored at the
fourth annual Kellie Hamre Kenney
Scholarship event on Friday, April 17,
at the Chicopee Portuguese American
Club.
“Four years ago, the collective spirit
of family, friends, neighbors and local
academic and social-emotional growth.
Ready! sessions are organized into
three classes per year for the parent.
Ultimately, families could attend 15
classes while their child moves
through their infant, toddler and preschool years. The parent learns the
material, brings home the tools to use
with their child and then comes back
next season to get the new material and
tools.
Ready! for Kindergarten was developed in Kennewick, Wash., where the
SPRINGFIELD – Keep Springfield
Beautiful (KSB) President Melvin
Edwards announced the annual citywide cleanup will be held on Saturday,
May 2, from 8 a.m. to noon.
With this cleanup, Springfield participates in the Keep America Beautiful
(KAB) nation-wide effort. The
Springfield event is organized jointly
with the Springfield Science Museum’s
Earth Day events and the ongoing effort
to plant trees and beautify Springfield
neighborhoods by Regreen Springfield.
Early every spring, KSB conducts a
survey of the 17 neighborhoods in
Springfield. Volunteers assign a numerical score to each neighborhood based on
visible trash and illegal dumping using
the KAB guidelines. The scores are
averaged and then compiled to create a
profile of the litter problem across the
city.
On May 2, KSB will conduct a
cleanup event coordinated with the
Great American Cleanup sponsored by
KAB. The Springfield Science Museum,
Regreen Springfield, many neighborhood
councils and associations and schools
participate with volunteers in the cleanup.
Tree belts, parks and conservation areas
are cleared of litter; city DPW crews
assist by picking up the collected trash.
The immediate goal of the Great
American Cleanup is to reduce visible
litter in streets, parks and vacant property. The longer term goal is to raise
awareness of the problem and promote
civic pride. Reduced litter and illegal
dumping will increase the perceived
value of property and promote better
upkeep and development.
Throughout the warm weather
months, KSB works with neighborhood
groups to do smaller cleanups of illegal
dumping sites in Springfield’s residential
areas.

BOSTON – Ludlow High School students Elizabeth Skaza and Nicholas St.
Pierre were among the students across
the Commonwealth who participated in
the 68th annual Student Government
Day, held Friday, April 10, at the State
House.
Skaza and St. Pierre, along with other

who encouraged them to remain
engaged in government and civic affairs.
“I am inspired by this group of talented, impassioned young leaders,” Lesser
said. “Each of them has something special to contribute, and I hope this event
encourages them to consider pursuing a
career in public service.”
Participants conducted simulations of
committee hearings and legislative sessions and debated two House bills
addressing high school diplomas and
mandatory physical education.

Lions give cold shoulder to Colts
By Tim Peterson
Turley Publications
Sports Correspondent
LUDLOW - The members of
the Chicopee Comp and
Ludlow baseball teams are
probably hoping that the weather will be a lot nicer for their
second meeting of the season on
May 19 than it was last Friday
afternoon.
With the temperature in the
40’s and a strong wind blowing
in, the Lions managed to post a
3-1 victory against the Colts in
a Valley Wheel League contest
played at Whitney Park in
Ludlow.
“This is more like pond
hockey weather than baseball
weather,” said Ludlow head
coach Marty Fanning. “It was
definitely a tough day to play a
baseball game, but it does feel
very nice to come away with
the victory.”
The Lions, who were playing
their third game in as many
days, began this week’s action
with a 4-2 overall record and a
2-1 league record. They had
won three games in a row
before losing a non-league
home game against Westfield,
7-3, 24 hours earlier.
The Lions, who were scheduled to face rival Minnechaug
in another home game on
Monday afternoon, will be playing 10 of their final 13 regular
season games on the road.

LUDLOW - The Ludlow
girls softball team scored
seven runs over the first four
innings and then hung on as
Central tallied for a 7-6 win
over the Lady Golden Eagles
on Friday, April 24.
Ludlow scored three times
each in the first and second
innings, along with a single
run in the fourth, to build up a
7-0 lead. Central answered
back with five in the sixth and
one in the seventh, but
Ludlow held on for the victory.
Julie Chmura had three
hits, three runs scored and an
RBI to pace the Ludlow
offense. Brooke Bruneault
added two hits and two runs

allowing one run, which was
unearned, on three hits with one
strike out and five walks. He
was replaced by freshman lefty
Zach Chipman, who earned his
first career win in a varsity
game. Chipman pitched the
final two innings allowing no
runs on just one hit and two
strikeouts.
“We pitched two freshman
pitchers in this game today and
we’re expecting both of them to
do very good things for us
down the road,” Fanning said.
“Max had pitched in relief
before, but today was his first
varsity start. Zach pitched in a
game for the first time today
and he pitched very well.”
The Colts (2-3, 0-3) were
looking to move above the .500
mark for the first time this season. They entered the game
having won two straight games,
which included an 8-2 road win
against Belchertown the previous day.
“It’s a very frustrating loss,”
said Comp head coach Justin
Franczek. “It definitely wasn’t
our best performance and you
can’t afford to make that many
mistakes against a very good
baseball team like Ludlow.”
The losing pitcher was Colts
junior right-hander Hunter
Laughlin, who pitched very
well in his first two starts of the
season. In last Friday’s start
against the Lions, Laughlin
allowed three runs, which were
all unearned, on six hits with
three strikeouts and one walk.
“I thought Hunter pitched
really well in this game today,
but it wasn’t our best performance today. He pitched two

LUDLOW - A couple of
years ago, the Ludlow girls

Because of a postponement, the
Lady Lions were forced to play
four matches over three days
last week and they won all four
matches.
The Lady Lions defeated
both West Springfield and
Holyoke by the final score of
5-0 at home last Wednesday.
The following day, Ludlow
squeaked out a 3-2 win at
Northampton before wrapping
up the successful week with a
5-0 home victory against
Agawam, last Friday afternoon.
“The one good thing about
having to play all of these
matches this week is that’s it’s

great games this season and he lost
twice. He’s only given up one earned
run,” Franczek said. “The weather was
definitely a factor in this game, but you
can’t use it as an excuse. We just need to
start playing a little bit better.”
The Lions took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.
Senior shortstop Brett Layman grounded a single between the third baseman and
the bag down the left field line. He
advanced to second base on a ground out
by senior center fielder Zach Frangules.
Then senior designated hitter Connor
Duquette stepped into the batter’s box and
fisted an opposite field single to right.
Layman was able to score on the play following a fielding error by the right fielder.
Laughlin, who retired the final two
batters of the inning on a groundout to
the shortstop and a strikeout, only
allowed one base runner during the next
three innings.
The Colts put together a rally with
one-out in the top of the second inning.
Junior first baseman Joel Madru got
on base with a walk and sophomore left
fielder Jon Marchia blooped a single into
shallow center field. The next batter hit
a line drive to senior second baseman
Connor Frigon, who tossed the ball over
to Layman completing the inning ending
double play.
Comp threatened again two innings
later.
With two outs in the inning, the Colts
loaded the bases on singles by Madru
and senior right fielder Dayton Thomas,
which were sandwiched around a walk
by Jon Marcia.
Ouimette got out of the fourth inning
still holding a 1-0 lead following a
ground out to third.
The freshman hurler wasn’t so lucky
in the top of the fifth.
Comp freshman designated hitter
Louis Santiago walked leading off the
frame and he went to second on a wild
pickoff throw. Senior second baseman
Dan Marcia then put down a bunt and he
was safe at first base on a fielding error
by the third baseman putting runners at
the corners. Santiago scored the tying run
following a throwing error by the catcher.
The scored remained tied until the
bottom of the sixth when the Lions
pushed across two more unearned runs.
Duquette, who was hit by a pitch leading off the frame, crossed the plate with
the go-ahead run on a throwing error by
the first baseman. Senior first baseman
Austin Harris, who had reached base on a
fielding error, scored the Lions third run
of the game when senior third baseman
Chris Charest grounded out to shortstop.
Chipman locked up his first varsity
victory by retiring the side in order in
the top of the seventh.

improving every year since that time. A
lot of people in Ludlow are now playing
tennis and we also have very nice tennis
courts here at the high school.”
The Lady Lions, who are members of
the Valley Wheel League, have won
seven matches in a row. They entered
this week’s action with an 8-2 overall
record and a 4-0 league record. They
also need just two more victories in
order to qualify for the Western Mass.
Division 1 Tournament
“We’re hoping to qualify for the postseason tournament again this year,”
Carlin said. “We do have a very good
starting lineup this year.”
Senior Kelsey Jordan, who’s the Lady
Lions first singles player, has won six of
the ten matches so far this season. She
won the 25th match of her high school
career against Agawam last Friday.
“Kelsey has been playing first singles
since she was a sophomore,” Carlin said.
“She has been one of our top players so
far this season and she’s also a powerful
hitter.”
Jordan, who’s the only senior listed
on the girls tennis roster, was also a
member of the girls swimming team last
winter.
The Lady Lions second singles player
is sophomore Dominique Alves, who’s
posted an 8-2 record so far this season, has a 19-6 career record. After
losing two of her first three matches at
the beginning of the regular season,
Alves has reeled off seven victories in
a row.

She has a 9-0 record since losing the
first match of the regular season at
Amherst. Martins won her 21st career
match against Agawam.
Alves and Martins have both been
starting at their respective positions
since the middle of last season.
“Our second and third singles players
have improved a lot since the beginning
of last season,” Carlin said. “They’re not
afraid to hit the ball, which is a very
important thing in tennis.”
The Lady Lions first doubles players
are junior Emma Gomes and sophomore
Mariana Goncalves, who are cousins.
“They’re playing doubles together for
the first time this year,” Carlin said.
“Both of them are doing a very good
job.”
Several different players have teamed
up to play the second doubles position
this season.
“We do have a bunch of girls who
plays second doubles,” Carlin said. “I
like to give everyone on the team a
chance to play.”
The other members of the Lady Lions
tennis team are freshman Lauren
Martins, freshman Kaylee Moylan,

Creamer to participate in groundbreaking journalist program
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Lisa Creamer, a graduate of Ludlow High School and currently a
correspondent with The Boston Globe, is one
of 12 journalism students and young journalists chosen by FASPE (Fellowships at
Auschwitz for the Study of Professional
Ethics) to participate in a two-week program
that will take place this summer in Germany
and Poland.
Now in its sixth year of operation, FASPE
is a unique international program that explores
the history of the Holocaust as a way to engage
graduate students across five different fields
(business, journalism, law, medicine and religion) in an intensive study of contemporary
ethics in their discipline. FASPE is predicated
upon the power of place, and in particular, the
first-hand experience of visiting Auschwitz
and traveling in Germany and Poland, where
Fellows study the past and consider how to
apply the lessons of history to the current ethical challenges they will confront in their own
professions.
Professionals in the pre-War World II era in
Germany were known and respected internationally. Yet leaders (and practitioners) in each
Mom
never puts herself first
She needs
you to do that.
Do it this
Mother's Day.

of the professions, and
often the institutions
they
represented,
played a fundamental
role in designing,
enabling and/or executing the crimes of Nazi
Germany.
Run under the auspices of the Museum of
Jewish Heritage – A
Lisa Creamer
Living Memorial to the
Holocaust in New York,
FASPE examines what role professionals in
business, journalism, law, medicine and the
clergy played in Nazi Germany and underscores that the moral codes governing these
essential professions can break down or be distorted with devastating consequences.
“By educating students about the causes of
the Holocaust and the power of their chosen
professions, FASPE seeks to instill a sense of
professional responsibility for the ethical and
moral choices that the Fellows will make in
their careers and in their professional relationships,” said C. David Goldman, founder of
FASPE.
Over the course of 12 days, Fellows will
participate in seminars run by leading scholars
who serve as FASPE faculty and attend lectures with a range of guest speakers. The program integrates historical, cultural, philosophical and literary sources; survivor testimony;
and workshops in Berlin, Auschwitz and
Krakow.
Currently a metro correspondent with The
Boston Globe and a digital producer at
WBUR, Boston’s National Public Radio news
station, Creamer graduated from Ludlow High
School and received a bachelor’s degree in
journalism from the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst a year ago.
“I believe this fellowship will grant me an
opportunity to gain a greater understanding of
the lines journalists need to measure when we
ask people to revisit traumatic experiences,” said
Creamer, who reports on crime for the Globe.
Before moving to Boston, Creamer lived
mainly in Western Massachusetts. As an
undergraduate, she was editor-in-chief of the
campus newspaper, The Daily Collegian, and
interned for the Huffington Post in New York
City.
“This fellowship will undoubtedly place
me in wonderful company to discuss major
ethical questions and build a stronger skill set
as a reporter,” said Creamer, “Visiting
Auschwitz while learning how to better report
on trauma is an experience that no journalist
could ever forget.”
Creamer will join a group of 62 FASPE
Fellows who represent a broad range of religious, ethnic and racial backgrounds, and who
were chosen through a competitive process
that drew nearly 1,000 applicants from around
the world. FASPE covers all expenses, including transatlantic and European travel, food, and
lodging. FASPE Journalism Fellows, along
with the Business and Law Fellows, will begin
their trip in Europe this year on May 24. The
first leg is in Berlin, where Fellows have the
opportunity to study the city’s historical and
cultural sites and work with FASPE staff and
guest scholars. Educational workshops will
take place at the House of the Wannsee
Conference, the site where representatives of
German State and Nazi Party agencies convened in 1942 to draw up plans for the Nazis’
“Final Solution.”
The Fellows then travel to Auschwitz,
where they will work with the distinguished
educational staff at the Auschwitz-Birkenau
State Museum. Sessions devoted to contemporary ethics take place in seminar rooms at
Auschwitz and at Jagiellonian University in
Krakow, one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious universities. The final leg of the trip will
be held in Krakow, Poland, where Fellows will
explore the city’s rich Jewish, Catholic, and
Polish history.
Upon return, each Fellow will submit a
final essay focused on a contemporary ethical
issue chosen by the Fellow. Select essays will
be published in the annual FASPE Journal,
which includes essays from Fellows across all
disciplines.
