LUDLOW – Hubbard
Memorial Children/Youth
Services Assistant Librarian
Joan Robb was pleased to see
close to 20 young “royals,”
dressed in finery fit for
princes and princesses, during
the “Royal Ball,” held
Tuesday, Dec. 30.
The distinguished guests
competed in royal and theatrical games, utilized their artistic talents to craft a magical
arts and crafts project, displayed their culinary skills,
and took a turn on the ball-
room dance floor as part of the
evening’s festivities.
“I wanted to provide the
children with a unique opportunity to ring in the New Year,”
said Robb. “I knew hosting a
Royal Ball would provide them
with a fun, magical night. It
was nice to see them dressed
up and enjoying themselves. I
would like to thank them and
their family members for
attending our Royal Ball.”
Attendees participated in
theatrical games, such as
“Follow the Leader” and
“Simon Says,” and competed

GNL services, outreach strengthen community ties
By Christi Mills
Register Correspondent
INDIAN ORCHARD – Rev.
Dr. Morris Stimage-Norwood,
senior pastor of Greater New
Life Christian Center (GNL),
attributes his tenacity of will,
his ongoing perseverance, and
his love for God as the contributing factors in helping him
to overcome obstacles he faced
growing up in Chicago, Ill.
“Rev Morris,” as he is fondly called, said he also gives
credit to his late loving mother,
Zula, whom he says epitomized
the Southern cook; his beautiful
wife, Jacqueline, and their wonderful children Marcus, Joron,
Aren and Nia.
Rev. Norwood said he over-
came a life of addiction, gang
activity and other troubles he
experienced while living on
Chicago’s West Side, widely
known for both its gang and
drug activities. He said during a
period of incarceration in 1984,
he found salvation in the Lord
and, two years later, in 1986, he
was led into the ministry.
Rev. Norwood earned a
Bachelor of Arts degree in
English
from
Chicago
University, a Master of Divinity
degree from McCormick
Theological Seminary and a
Doctorate of Divinity degree
from Martha Vineyard’s
Theological Seminary. He
served as pastor at churches
located in Columbia, S.C., and
in Springfield prior to founding
GNL, which falls under the auspices of the American Baptist
Churches, in 2002.
Rev. Norwood says GNL has
deep ties to the community, as it
provides church, youth, outpatient, and senior services, sober
homes and membership in various church groups. GNL also
hosts monthly family, cultural
or special events.
GNL also started the New
Life Center for Recovery, which
offers Outpatient Services, such
as therapy, life skills training,
alcohol and drug testing and
relapse prevention skills; the
Covenant House, for sober adult
women in recovery; the Power
House for Men, for sober adult

Ludlow Elks Lodge to host
blood drive Jan. 12
LUDLOW – The Ludlow Lodge of Elks, located at
69 Chapin St., will host a blood drive for the American
Red Cross on Monday, Jan. 12, from 1-7 p.m.
The American Red Cross asks eligible blood donors
to make a resolution to give blood regularly in 2015,
beginning with National Blood Donor Month in
January.
National Blood Donor Month recognizes the importance of giving blood and platelets while honoring
those who roll up a sleeve to help patients in need. It
has been observed during January since 1970, and that's
no coincidence. Winter is an especially difficult time to
collect enough blood to meet patient needs.
Unpredictable winter weather can result in blood drive
cancelations, and seasonal illnesses, like the flu, may
cause some donors to be unable to make or keep blood
donation appointments.
Donors of all blood types are needed, especially
those with O negative, A negative and B negative. With
a shelf life of 42 days, red blood cells must be constantly replenished to maintain an adequate supply for
patients.
To learn more about donating blood and to schedule
an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor
App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED
CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield Seminarians.
Christ the King parishioners Betty Babinski and Rose
Parylak delivered the Readings.
“We are thankful to our Christ the King parishioners
and those from the various parishes in our locality who
attended Mass today and participated in or our
Adoration program,” said Christ the King Pastor Rev.
Raymond Soltys. “We wish to thank Bishop Rozanski
for his presence. His presence today is a sign of
encouragement and inspiration for the love all the adorers have for the true presence of our Lord in the Holy
Eucharist.”
Rozanski, who in 2005, was selected by the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Springfield to serve as its ninth
bishop, expressed his gratitude for his inclusion in the
day’s celebrations and complimented Rev. Soltys on his
pastoral leadership. Rozanski, who holds the distinction of being the first Springfield bishop with Polish
roots, shared his pleasure at seeing such a wonderful
turn-out for the day’s celebrations.
A procession, which included taking the church's
Eucharistic Lord, commenced immediately following
Mass. The procession concluded at the church’s
Perpetual Adoration Chapel, where it was rededicated
by Rozanski.
According to Rev. Soltys, the Perpetual Adoration
Chapel, adjacent to the Parish Center, was officially
opened in 1995 and is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days
a week by lay people. It is organized so there is someone present while it is open. Silence is strictly observed.
Rev. Soltys said they welcome lay people, who can commit to at least an hour a week, to serve as volunteers.
Rev. Soltys added that, historically, Catholic churches were left open from after the first morning Mass
until sunset or the latest service in the evening, allowing for people to stop in and pray at will. Due to cultural changes, more and more churches closed after the
last morning Mass, leaving lay people bereft of a place
to find peace and quiet and to have an intimate moment
with their Eucharistic Lord. The Perpetual Adoration
Chapel was erected to accommodate these needs.
“As the religious population aged and declined, the
Roman Catholic Bishop of Springfield asked those visiting the chapel to specifically pray for an increase in
vocations to priesthood and religious life in the Diocese,
along with their own personal prayer intentions,” said Rev.
Soltys. “As a result of those prayers, the chapel holds the
distinction of ordaining 24 priests over the past 10 years.”

Parishioner Liz Gromack, of Ludlow, who was in
attendance with sons Zachary, 11, and Adam, 10, and

Mass, echoed the sentiments of many in attendance.
“Today was a lovely day. It was nice to have the

Ballroom dancing, which took place in the activity
room, was the highlight of the evening. The sounds of
music and laughter filled the air when the young Lords
and Ladies took turns on the ballroom dance floor.
“This was wonderful to see all the girls dressed up
in their finery,” said Melissa Davis, who attended the
event with her daughter, “Princess” Annabelle, 3. “It
was nice to see everyone treated like princesses and
princes for the night.”
At evening’s end, Robb awarded costume prizes to the
royal guests. Prizes included the winners’ choice from
a variety of stuffed animals. Annabelle “Princess”
Davis, 3, won “Best Overall”; Brianna “Princess Elsa”

one of several activities offered to those who attended the library’s “Royal Ball” on Tuesday, Dec. 30.
Raymond, 2, won “Most Wintery”; Lilliana “Princess
Anna” Binette, 4, won “Most Colorful”; “Princess”
Greta Rust, 2, won “Most Creative,” and her brother,
Jackson, “Aladdin” 4, won “Secret Identity.”
Several of the princesses and princes took advantage
of the opportunity to sign out one of several royal
books on display. A sampling of book choices included
“Snow Queen” by Hans Christian Anderson and “Fairy
Tales of Eastern Europe” by Neil Philip.
“This event is my royal farewell to the library and the
children,” said Robb, who announced her retirement last
month. “I want to thank all the parents, the princesses
and the princes who accepted my royal invitation.”
Robb said although she thoroughly enjoyed hosting
the event, it was also bittersweet for her as the Royal
Ball marks her last at Hubbard.
“January 8 will be my last day at the library,” said
Robb. “Even though I look forward to my retirement, I
will miss interacting with the children.”

two members
WILB R A H A M – T h e Wi l b r a h a m A r t
League will host an art show in memory of
Ann Beebe and Rita Kulig at an exhibit of
their work in the Brooks Room of the
Wilbraham Public Library now through the
end of January.
A reception was held on Jan. 4.
Beebe, of Ludlow, was an acrylic painter,
and her favorite subject was architecture.
She was a member of the art league from its
formation in 2007. Beebe utilized her talent
for the benefit of many community projects.
Kulig, of Wilbraham, preferred to paint in oils.
Her preferred subjects were varied, such as homes
on Cape Cod, still life and florals. She studied art
with local artists and after retirement became an
active member the league.

ients, were unanimous in their approval of
C h r z a n f o r t h e “ C i t i z e n o f t h e Ye a r ” h o n o r.
“Several names were brought forth this year,
but we thought Paul would be a worthy candidate following his being named ‘Veteran of the
Year,’” said Diotalevi. “We thought it was fitting
to extend the honor through the club as well.”
A U.S. Army veteran and Bronze Star recipient,
Chrzan served in the 1st Air Cavalry Division in
Vietnam from 1967 to 1969.
Fo l l o w i n g h i s m i l i t a r y s e r v i c e , C h r z a n
became an equipment test technician with New
England Telephone and later Verizon. After a
career that spanned over 40 years, he retired
in 2008.
Chrzan continues his involvement in many veterans organizations, including the Polish American
Veterans of Wilbraham, where he served as commander; the Ludlow VFW Post 3236, where he currently serves as the junior vice commander; the
Vi e t n a m Ve t e r a n s C h a p t e r 111 ; t h e Vi e t n a m
Veterans of Western Massachusetts, where he has
served as vice president, and the American Legion.
Chrzan is also a life member of the Disabled
American Veterans.
In addition to the Ludlow PACC, Chrzan is
also a member of the Ludlow Lodge of Elks,
C h r i s t t h e K i n g ’s M e n ’s G u i l d , a n d h e i s a
retired member of the Telephone Pioneers of
t h e P i o n e e r Va l l e y, w h e r e h e s e r v e d a s p a s t
president. He also volunteers at the Holyoke
Soldiers Home.
In 2014, Chrzan became chairman of the Ron
Stephenson Memorial Fund Committee, which established a fund to assist Ludlow veterans and family
members in need.
Chrzan has also served on various town
boards and commissions, including the Ludlow
Housing Authority and the Board of Appeals.
H e c u r r e n t l y s e r v e s o n t h e We s t o v e r G o l f
Commission.
Chrzan works part-time as a driver for
Century Limousine in Wilbraham, and he is a
staff member at New England funeral and
Cremation in Springfield, where he assists family members with preparations for visitation and
funeral services.
Chrzan lives in Ludlow with Janice, his wife
of 36 years. They have two daughters, Donna
Chrzan, of Boston, and Elaine Roach and husband Jason, of Walpole. They also have a grandson, Jack.
In addition to honoring Chrzan, the PACC will
also install new officers at the Jan. 24 banquet.
T h e y a r e : P r e s i d e n t – J o h n D i o t a l e v i , Vi c e
President – Leonard Robbins, Recording
Secretary – Carolyn Rogowski, Treasurer – Mark
Witowski, Financial Secretary – Kathy Houle,
Directors/House Committee include Ed Szela,

The evening begins with a cash bar cocktail hour at
6 p.m. Dinner, along with the installation of officers
and honoree festivities begin at 7 p.m., followed by
music and dancing.
Reservations are required, and it is highly
suggested that they be made early with a sellout
crowd anticipated. Tickets are $25 per person
and may be purchased at the PACC, located at
355 East St., or by calling the club at 413-5836385 or PACC President John Diotalevi at 413433-1901.

unit logo until another logo contest is held in two
years.
“A lot of girls were involved,” said Abigail’s mother.
Rebecca Paul, who also serves as manager of the service unit. “We thought it would be fun to have them
design the logo.”
The Ludlow Girl Scouts thank Luso Federal
Credit Union for conducting the logo contest. Public
Relations contact Garett Day explained that the logo
submissions were displayed in the credit union and
the winning submission was selected by Luso
Federal Credit Union in order to ensure that the
selection process was unbiased.
“I felt blown away,” said Abigail Paul of her contest win. “There were a lot of cool designs.”
Shirts with the fifth-grader’s design will be sold for
$12 to help fund a camporee trip to Bonnie Brae, a Girl
Scouts camp located in Otis, Mass. Abigail, who will
“bridge” from Cadet to Junior next year, is excited
about both the trip and the opportunity to have her artwork displayed.
Explaining her passion for the service unit,
Abigail says she really enjoys the various projects
that the unit undertakes. A recent food drive and
cookie collection for a local food pantry was just
one such project that she carried out with the service unit. According to Rebecca Paul, the service
unit hosted many exciting events this year, including a trunk-or-treat event and an Alice in Wonderland
tea.
Arguably the most popular Girl Scouts project,
cookie sales, will kick off on Jan. 10 with a cookie
rally to benefit the Ludlow hometown heroes. The
event will be held at the Ludlow Elk’s Club at 2
p.m. For Abigail, the start of cookie season means
not only enjoying her favorite cookies, Savannah
Smiles and Samoas, but also setting a new sales
goal. This year she aims to sell around 750 boxes of
the beloved treats.
Other fundraising events coming up for the
Ludlow Girl Scouts are an “International Festival”
on March 8 and a “Fitness and Fun” event featuring hula hooping, hopscotch and Zumba on April
12. Both events will be held at Ludlow High
School at 2 p.m.

Center, shows his wife Jacqueline the new “Power House” pamphlet. Power

said Rev. Norwood.
GNL’s CSI and TOP Youth Services
groups, through its partnership with the
Department of Youth Services and the
Massachusetts Executive Office of
Public Safety, provides vocational training, career readiness classes and
employment to local teens at risk, as
well as youth who re-enter the community after periods of detention.
According to Rev. Norwood, TOP is
funded by the “Shannon Initiative,” part
of a $1.4 million state grant awarded to
the City of Springfield to assist in the
efforts of decreasing youth violence and
youth gang activity. TOP is a partner
with GNL, and Rev. Norwood added the
TOP program provides area youth with
skills they need to avoid problems of
youth violence, gang affiliation, drug
abuse and lack of opportunity.
“We strive to empower our youth,”
said Rev. Norwood. “The program is
designed to help our youth develop a
positive self-image, to learn key vocational skills, develop better social skills
and gain valuable work experience
through light carpentry, video training
and summer employment.”
Senior services include SOAR
(Senior Outreach and Referral) services,
caregiver support, dental assistance,
clothing, congregate meals, transportation, field trips, volunteer and employ-
reason. I would not be where I am today
if it wasn't for Rev. Morris,” said Harris.
“Becoming involved has given me so
much, too much to put into words. Rev.
Morris a very nurturing man. He continuously motivates me to dedicate myself
to him and the church.”
Church services include Sunday
Worship, Sunday School, Bible Study,
Prayer Hour, and monthly family, cultural or special events. Mass is held on
Sundays at 11 a.m.; Sunday School and
New Members Class is held on Sundays
at 10 a.m.; Bible Study on Mondays at 5
p.m. and on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.,
and Prayer Hour on Tuesdays at noon.
Upcoming events include the Feb. 13
“Divine Dinner and Dance,” which
includes food, live music and dancing
for $15 per person; the Feb. 22 “African
American History Youth Day” and the
March 22 “Jazz for Jesus.”
Rev. Norwood encourages residents
of Indian Orchard and surrounding communities to visit or call to learn more
about the programs available or to
become a member of the church. GNL is
located at 1323 Worcester St. For more
information, call 413-209-9820 or email

expects to launch a website with additional information in the near future.

Dakin hosts ‘Happy Neuter Year’ campaign
SPRINGFIELD – Dakin Humane
Society wants you to ring in the New
Year by making a resolution to neuter
your male dog or cat during their
“Happy Neuter Year” campaign.
Sponsored by PetSmart Charities, the
largest funder of animal welfare efforts
in North America, the “Happy Neuter
Year” campaign will provide $20 neuter
surgeries for male dogs and cats during
the month of January.
Spaying and neutering is one of the
most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population and is safe for puppies and kittens as young as eight to 10
weeks old, according to the American
Veterinary Medical Association.
“The start of a new year is often
about making resolutions that result in
better health,” said Dakin’s Executive
Director Leslie Harris. “This terrific
campaign enables people to extend that
consideration to their pets as well.
Neutering your animal will make him
healthier and safer in the long run, and it
will eliminate some of the annoying
habits that intact pets exhibit like spraying and aggression.”
This special $20 rate is even less
than the organization’s normal low
price and is available on a first-come,
first-served basis. Pet parents who wish
to take advantage of this offer must
mention the “Happy Neuter Year” campaign when they schedule their
appointment. This campaign is based
on availability.
Dakin Humane Society will provide
150 “Happy Neuter Year” sterilizations
for $20 in January. Please call 413-7814019 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

WNEU to host
annual ‘Girls and
Women in Sports Day’
Grinspoon Conference
encourages entrepreneurship
SPRINGFIELD – The 16th Annual
Western New England University
Girls and Women in Sports Day is
scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 31, from
8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in the Alumni
Healthful Living Center (AHLC). This
free event is a community service program designed for girls between the
ages of 7 and 12 from the greater
Springfield area.
To register for the event or for
more information, visit www.wnegoldenbears.com or call Western New
England University Athletics at 413796-2229. Snacks will be provided.
“The number of girls and women
who participate in sports has seen a
remarkable growth in recent years, in
part because of National Girls and
Women in Sports Day,” said Nicole
Chaszar, head women’s basketball
coach. “This is always one of the
best events at Western New England
University every year. It gives girls
an opportunity to try out new sports
and discover the benefits and fun
they can receive from participating.”
Participants will have the opportunity to select two sport clinics from
six offerings: basketball, softball, volleyball, field hockey, soccer and
dance. All of the clinics will be
instructed by Western New England
coaches and varsity athletes. In addi-
tion, recreation time will be made
available for swimming, racquetball,
and squash.
Girls and Women in Sports Day is
celebrated nationally to promote the
participation of women and girls in
athletics.
“Along with teaching the girls athletic skills, our goal is to impart to
these young athletes the high standards of being a successful studentathlete, such as hard work, self-discipline, dedication, motivation, and then
bringing those values into the classroom,” said Jennifer Kolins, the
University’s men’s and women’s tennis coach and community outreach
coordinator.
Participants are asked to bring a
personal hygiene product (e.g. hair
products, deodorant, toothpaste) as a
donation. Items will be donated to a
local domestic violence shelter.
Following the clinic, the girls and
their families are invited to stay and
watch the Golden Bear teams in
action. The women’s swimming meet
against the University of Saint Joseph
will begin at noon in the AHLC pool.
The women’s basketball team will
take on Commonwealth Coast
Conference opponent Curry College at
1 p.m., in the AHLC field house, followed by the men’s team taking on the
Curry Colonels for a 3 p.m. tip-off.

Over 450 students and faculty representing 14 area colleges and universities attended the event, which included hands-on workshops, entrepreneur

hands-on workshop that guides students through the steps from product
innovation to start-up businesses.
“As an engineer, it is important to
understand the business and entrepreneurial side of things,” said senior
Biomedical Engineering student,
Zachary Chyra. “The Grinspoon conference provided a great opportunity to
gain this knowledge and to network
with other young entrepreneurs.”
Students began the day collaborating on teams representing several colleges and universities for the “ChangeIt-Up” competition. Thirty-two
exhibitors were in attendance, including 20 former Grinspoon student
awardees who have started businesses
while in college.

cheer during holiday season
LUDLOW – Paul R. Baird Middle
School’s Community Service Club held
a Bottle & Can Drive at Uncle Bob’s
General Store on Nov. 28 and raised
$419.50.
Club members Brianna Walas, Olivia

from various donors.
Special thanks go out to Fernanda
Gomes of Uncle Bob’s for allowing the

family and Alan and Maureen Vautrain
and family for all of their help the day of
the drive.
Club members combined the $419.50

fundraiser to purchase Christmas gifts
for children living in transitional housing
during the holidays. On Dec. 16, they
presented the gifts to Tamara Blake,
founder of “Angels Take Flight,” an
organization that helps children living in
safe homes. For the past five years, Miss
Blake has visited the safe homes on
Christmas morning and has seen, firsthand, the huge impact such donations
can make.

thank all who helped out and all of the
people of Ludlow who donated bottles
and cans.

folks need to understand. First, local businesses and merchants are just as much institutions in our towns as
the library and schools. Without them, there are no towns.
We will feature coverage of local businesses that are new, have a major expansion, moving, closing,
under new management or ownership, celebrating a milestone anniversary, or have been thrust into the news
realm. Merchants can request that coverage through the editor, or for our existing advertising clients, through

Ludlow swimmers off to strong start
By Tim Peterson
Turley Publications
Sports Correspondent
CHICOPEE - Even with a
new head coach, the Ludlow
girls’ swim team hasn’t missed
a beat so far this winter.
The Lady Lions improved
their overall season record to 3-1
following a 93-90 road victory
against the Chicopee Lady Pacers
in a Constitution league meet at
Chicopee High School, last
Friday morning.
“It has been a very good start
to the season for our girls swim
team,” said Ludlow first-year
head coach Christine Callahan,
who took over the coaching duties
from Kerin Doyle. “I’m expecting
many of the girls to qualify for
both the Western Mass. and the
state meets this year. We’re also
hoping to win our league title as
well.”
The Lady Lions have won
seven or more meets in each of
the past six years.
Entering this week’s action,
Ludlow was tied with Holyoke
for first place in the league standings with a 2-0 mark.
The only meeting of the season between the Ludlow and

LUDLOW - The Ludlow
girls basketball team ended the
2014 portion of the season with
a strong defensive performance
in their victory over Taconic on
Dec. 30.
Taconic, which was held to
just 24 points, was only able to
manage 10 field goals against
the tough Lady Lions defense.
Ludlow, on the other hand,
was not able to do much on
offense, however, as they managed only 35 points.
Senior forward Alyssa
Guyon paced the Lady Lions
offense with a team-high 11
points. Kierra McCarthy, who
knocked down a pair of 3pointers, finished with eight
points. Autumn Maynard
helped out with six, followed
by five from Emily McGourty,
three from Taylor Masse and
two from Emily Sevigne.
The Ludlow boys basketball
team played only one game
before the break, and it was an
83-42 loss to Pittsfield on
Monday, Dec. 29.
The game was actually tied
17-17 after the first quarter, but
it was after that point that
things went down hill for the
Lions. Pittsfield would score
30 points in the second quarter
to build up a 47-30 halftime.
Ludlow would only manage
12 points in the second half as
the Lions scored nine points in
the third quarter and three in
the fourth.
Kevin Simonds finished
with a team-high 15 points for
Ludlow. Ray Emberley and
Zach Frangules each came
through with eight, followed by
Brian Pacheco with four, three
from Jordany Almnote and two
each from Lee Gonzalez and
Dan Rodrigues.

backstroke.
“Andrea is the first member
of our team to qualify for state
meet,” Callahan said. “She is
very dedicated and loves swimming. She’s always trying to
improve on her time every day
in practice. She’s very close to
breaking the school record,
which is awesome.”
It’s the first time in her high
school career that Taylor has
been qualified for the state meet.

something that I’ve been working towards for a very long
time,” said Taylor, who’s also a

Brownies too much for Ludlow

AGAWAM – After two
straight wins to open up their
regular season, Agawam
believed they were in for a
tough challenge when they
faced Ludlow right before the
Christmas break.
But Agawam was very strong
jumping out to a 4-0 lead and
going on to score a 7-0 drubbing
over the Lions to remain undefeated in the 2014 portion of
their regular season schedule.
In a wild first period
Anthony Passerini scored the
first of two goals in the game,

Curran. Mike Pfau and Joe

Agawam’s Cam Rivest locks up with
Ludlow’s Tyler Diotalevi.
Mercadante also scored early as
Agawam showed no signs of
slowing down and Ludlow’s
defense had no answers for any
of Agawam’s three lines.
In the second period, the
Brownies continued to dominate possession and pepper the
Ludlow goal. Ludlow had very
few chances on Agawam,
though they did have a brief
few shots during a power play.
Agawam sophomore goalie
Connor McAnanama was equal
to the challenge and continued
to turn away the Lions. He
would finish the game with his
first shutout of the season.
Agawam would have a
decided advantage a little more
than halfway through the period
by holding a 30-12 lead on
shots on goal. With 6:30
remaining in the period,
Agawam got their fifth goal of
the game when their three forwards went on the attack.
Each would box the puck
around the net, but Passerini’s
shot deflected off Cam Rivest
and went into the goal for the
Brownies. Passerini was credited
with his second goal of the game
while the deflection gave Rivest
an assist, his second of the game.
The attack did not stop as
Rivest got his third assist of the
game with 2:18 remaining in
the second period.
Rivest began the play by
clearing the puck out of

Athlete of the Week
Balletone classes offered
at Randall
LUDLOW - The Ludlow
Community Center/Randall Boys &
Girls Club offers Balletone: Sole
Synthesis fitness classes on Fridays
from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.
When barefoot training meets
strength, cardio and flexibility in one
workout, fitness takes on a whole new
meaning. Sole Synthesis is “simplicity
through triplicity” … no fancy moves
are used, just unique twists on foundational fitness moves to get you started.
Then, the easy to follow fitness
sequences are turned into dance
inspired, ballet sculpting sequences for
balance and strength challenges.
Finally, yoga inspired sequences will be
sprinkled throughout to provide moving
meditation in order to prepare for more.
The idea is to simply use movements
you’ve done for ages, without extra
equipment, and redefine your expectations. You will experience a proactive
workout rooted in functional training
that will leave you strong, centered, and
actively flexible. This session is an elevated functional training program that is
deceptively challenging; take your
shoes off and see what your sole can do!
Group exercise classes are free for
fitness members. Non-members ages
18 and up may drop-in for $10 per
class or purchase a Fitness Class Punch
Card for $35 for 5-classes. Teens ages

right side of the goal. He would go
unopposed for most of the length
and then made a very quick pass to
the left all the way across the ice
to Zach Circosta. Circosta caught
Ludlow goalie Alex Will by complete surprise as Will was locked
on Rivest. Circosta made a shot
into a mostly open left side of the
net to make it 6-0 Agawam.
The Brownies were able to get one
goal in the third period, with Curran
coming up with his second goal of the
game on a long wrist shot from the far
left near the blue line.
McAnanama finished with 22 saves
on 22 shots. Will made 30 saves on 37
shots for Ludlow.
Curran and Passerini had two goals
each while Circosta had a goal and
two assists and Rivest had three
assists.
Ludlow would drop to 2-2 for the
regular season with the loss. They had

Helping Your Child Find the Right College
A PROGRAM FOR PARENTS OF HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS
Presented by Susan Schatz, Founder of
Schatz College Consulting; Stephanie
King, Director of Student Financial Services, Bay Path University; and Dawn
Bryden, Associate Dean, Undergraduate Admission, Bay Path University.
Thursday, January 15, 7:00 pm
Mills Theatre, Carr Hall
F
inding the right college has become a lot more sophisticated and
time consuming with the existence
of over 1500 institutions of higher learning available. For parents of high school
juniors, the process of helping your child
select the right college can be a daunting task. Times have changed and it is
not simply a matter of just taking the
SATs, writing an essay, and determining affordability any more. It’s far more
complicated than that. Susan Schatz of
Schatz College Consulting will provide
a plan of action that starts with understanding how your child learns best and
identifying what he or she is hoping to
achieve from his or her college experience. Whether you are starting from
scratch or have already taken the plunge
into the college search, emphasis will
center on finding the right college “fit”
through communication and support,
and, by setting realistic expectations.
Stephanie King, Director of Financial
Aid at Bay Path University will discuss
ways to finance college, the importance
of FAFSA, need vs merit based scholarships, and how these factors play in determining the right fit.
Pre-registration is strongly recommended.

Saturday, January 24 & 31
9:00 am - Noon
Location to be determined
Susan Schatz, Founder of Schatz College
Consulting will lead a two-part intensive
workshop for high school juniors on the
college selection process and how to prepare for what lies ahead.
Part 1 of this lecture/workshop will focus on students’ self-awareness: helping
them identify their strengths and qualifications; what they enjoy and why; their
favorite classes; and their strongest
subjects. It will also encourage them
to look at the careers of people around
them. Who do they identify with? Why
is that career interesting to them? The
goal is to get them thinking about who
they want to be and how a particular institution or type of institution will help
them become that person.
Part 2 of this lecture/workshop will
encourage students to establish an action plan for the remainder of their
junior year and for their senior year
including: college visits; testing; interviewing (if applicable); opportunities
for community service; extracurricular opportunities; internships; summer
jobs; job shadowing; and, ending with
an overview of the college application
process. Minimum to run: 10

STCC & Westfield State create low-cost
strategy for a bachelor’s degree
A
n agreement between Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) and Westfield State
University will provide significant cost
savings to students who complete their
associate degree at STCC and transfer
directly to Westfield State to complete
their bachelor’s degree. The Presidents’
MassTransfer agreement, which will go
into effect next fall, will provide students
with the opportunity to obtain their degrees from both institutions for a total
not to exceed $30,000.
MassTransfer is a statewide transfer
program implemented by the Department of Higher Education. It streamlines
the transfer process for community college students who want to complete a
designated associates degree then transfer to any Massachusetts state college or
University of Massachusetts campus.
This new Presidents’ MassTransfer
Agreement expands on the current transfer program in place between the two
schools for elementary, early childhood
and secondary education licensure, by
streamlining the transition from completion of a selected STCC associate’s
degree program to enrollment and sub-
sequent graduation in corresponding
bachelor’s degree program at Westfield
State, all within a prescribed period of
time and with fixed financial rates for
participating students.
On Nov. 20, STCC President Dr. Ira
H. Rubenzahl and Westfield State Interim President Dr. Elizabeth H. Preston officially signed the Presidents’
MassTransfer agreement.
According to the agreement, STCC
students must earn their associate degree within three years of enrollment
and complete an approved Presidents’
MassTransfer program with an overall
grade point average of at least 2.5 in order to be granted admission to the Westfield State major of choice (space permitting). Additionally, STCC students
who graduate in an approved Massachusetts Department of Higher Education
MassTransfer Program with a minimum
3.0 quality point average will be eligible
for a MassTransfer tuition waiver, allowing STCC students to transfer to
WSU seamlessly without any additional
costs. Students must earn a maximum of
60 credits and complete their degree at
WSU within a three-year period.
“Westfield State’s partnership with
STCC makes getting a four-year degree
accessible by ensuring a seamless transfer process between the two institutions
that is extremely affordable and potentially less than $10,000 for students eligible for Pell grant funding,” said Preston.
Approved eligible transfer programs
include general business transfer; liberal
arts transfer; liberal arts transfer, general studies; liberal arts transfer, fine arts
option; and teacher education transfer,
secondary. Students in these programs
may transfer to Westfield State programs
including art, communication, criminal
justice, economics, English, ethnic and
gender studies, history, political science,
psychology, regional planning, social
work, sociology, Spanish, and theater
arts. Students previously enrolled at
Westfield State are not eligible for this
transfer program.
For those interested in learning more
about the Presidents’ MassTransfer
agreement or how to enroll, please contact: STCC Dean of Admissions Louisa
Davis-Freeman at (413) 755-4380.
