O’Shea and Thorpe graduated from Minnechaug Regional High School in 1984. “Although you may not stay in touch with all of your high school classmates there is always those long lasting high school memories and bonds that forever tie you together,” said O’Shea. “So when House 4 was choosing their Grow the Good charity to adopt, I immediately thought of my classmate and the local charity that honors his memory, Rick’s Place.” “Rick’s Place supports children and their families during one of life’s most dif- ficult times, healing from the loss of a loved Turley Publications courtesy photos one,” explained O’Shea. “I was elated Students at Vererans Park School gathered donations for Rick’s Place. when the students immediately embraced something they can bring home with them, for the very generous donations of mark- on-site participants in Wilbraham, and for the idea, as did my fellow house leaders, like the memory box so they have a place ers and art supplies from the students of the many school groups that we facilitate,” Katie Dougthwright and Jessica Gray.” to save things from the family member they Veterans Park,” said Murray. “It was truly continued Murray. “Our children and teens O’Shea was unaware there was also a lost,” said Addison Audette. “That way if an honor to have the opportunity to meet are inspired to explore and talk about their special student connection to this amazing they are at home they have the box to help with the students to answer their questions grief experience as they participate in art charity until Nic Falcetti shared that infor- them when they are sad.” about our mission.” projects.

LUDLOW — The Ludlow girls varsity basketball team began the 2019-20 campaign by squeaking out a four-point home win in a non-league game versus Quabbin Regional. The Lady Li- ons also celebrated another home victory in the regular season fina- le. After trailing Central Divi- sion rival Sabis by seven points at the end of the first quarter, the Lady Lions scored a total of 49 points during the final three quar- ters of the contest and coasted to a 53-31 senior night victory at Mullins Gymnasium on Feb. 18. “This is a very good way to end our season and I’m very proud of my players,” said Lud- low head coach Tim Brillo. “We just kept improving in every game and we made some great strides this season. The Lady Lions, who suf- fered an overtime loss at Sabis on Jan. 21, completed the regular season with a 6-14 overall record. They went 1-7 in league play.
