Ludlow Rotary Hears Fire Dept

New Equipment needs

At its recent weekly meeting, the Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC) heard from Ben Whelan (pictured above), Ludlow Fire Chief, and that department's need for new equipment. Whelan discussed the normal life of the various types of equipment needed by Ludlow to deal with fires and property protection. Currently, the department needs to replace aged and, sometimes, non-operative equipment used to fight fires. He presented a slide show that highlighted the new equipment needed as well as the cost and delivery time of it.

A key point in his discussion was the length of time between ordering new equipment and its actual delivery, normally a two-to-three-year period.

The Ludlow Fire Department will be requesting Ludlow to approve the purchase of several important pieces of equipment. Whelan explained the cost of the replacement devices. He estimated that the MSRP for the new gear will be $4,097,039. He indicated that, through discounting, sale of current equipment, and financing arrangements, this price could be reduced to $3,079,550, a savings of 1,017,489.

FOLA Presents Smashing Musical Event

Featuring Two Great Musical Ensembles

This past weekend, FOLA (Friends of Ludlow Auditorium) offered the music of two well-known musical groups, the Gypsy Reel and Rick Redington and The Luv, in the Heald Auditorium in Ludlow's Town Hall. With over 85 people attending the event, these musical groups offered a wide variety of pop/country and Celtic music as the foot-stomping audience enjoyed the live performance, including some dancing. The program was in honor of Mark Huntley who had provided area towns with so much music. The event will be available on Okemo Valley TV. Pictured above are members of the Gypsy Reel as they performed on the Heald stage. From left to right, they are: Graham Parker, Claudine Langille, Camille Parker, and Silas Hamilton.
