Valerie's recollections in the book about VE Day reflect the party atmosphere of the time although as a young girl who had no recollection of life before the war she found the febrile and drunken celebrations rather unnerving She even recounts the shock of running into an effigy of Hitler just a stone's throw from her housing estate Miles adds "Now in 2025 there are flypasts parades and marching bands as we look back 80 years the impression I get from my mother's book is that everyone was tired of war rationing and blackouts and just wanted their loved ones to return home so people could rebuild their shattered lives." Perhaps it is most appropriate to grant Valerie the final say as she reflected on VE Day through the eyes of a child "That evening I couldn't get my parents attention and actually took myself off to bed even though they said I could stay up all night I was happy and exhausted all at the same time I'd heard so many conversations centred on the word "tomorrow" that all the possibilities began chasing each other around in my head the sooner tomorrow would come."

Ludlow Director of Veterans’ Services Eric Segundo (right) speaks to U.S Jake Oliveira (left) on what he and his team are thinking at the local level as they face potential impacts to VA services due to federal cuts.Reminder Publishing photos by Trent Levakis Rep Richard Neal visited the Ludlow Veterans Center on April 22 to meet with veterans and join a roundtable discussion of policies and actions taken by the Trump administration and the impact on local veterans The Springfield Democrat joined Ludlow Director of Veterans’ Services Eric Segundo Jake Oliveira (D-Ludlow) and other officials working in veteran services across Western Mass The roundtable discussion focused on how during its first 100 days several actions by the Trump administration have undermined the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs’ mission of serving the nation’s veterans the president signed a memorandum ordering all teleworking and remote work federal employees to return to the office the VA rescinded telework and remote work agreements for about 20% of its 482,000 employees including those who staff the Veterans Crisis Line It wasn’t until March 7 that crisis line workers were informed of their exemption from the return-to-office requirements a memo was circulated amongst officials at the VA calling for 83,000 staff members to be cut With veterans accounting for 30% of the federal workforce these cuts will not only impact the VA’s services but also cost veterans their employment.To date Army veteran who completed four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan Slater was terminated from his employment with the Springfield Veterans Center in February and was Neal’s guest at President Donald Trump’s address to Congress “It’s important to consider where we were just a few months ago Under [former President Joe Biden’s] administration veterans saw the largest investment in veterans’ services in three decades with the enactment of the PACT Act Those are earned benefits that are now being jeopardized to finance a tax cut for the wealthy,” said Neal “How anyone can look a veteran in the eye and say these cuts won’t impact their services is not only a denial of both reality and responsibility but a shameful attempt to mislead those who have honorably served our country to listen to our veterans and hear directly from them about how these cuts will impact their day-to-day lives.” Neal’s office claims the administration’s cuts to the VA workforce will also impact veterans’ healthcare as the Veterans Health Administration workforce accounts for 90% of the VA’s 482,000 workers meaning any cuts to the VA’s workforce will mean cuts to healthcare This would come after the VA enrolled 400,000 veterans in its benefits system from March 2023 through March 2024 a 2024 report by the Office of the Inspector General found that 137 of 139 VA health centers nationwide report a severe staffing shortage in at least one area have led to long wait times for the more than 9 million veterans the VA serves “When our service members enter the service The VA is central to the obligation we have of fulfilling that promise and you don’t accomplish that by gutting the department’s workforce,” Neal added “This is more of the same of what we’ve seen from this administration — chaotic and reckless decision making that has a real impact on everyday Americans I’ve not seen anything in my time like what we’ve witnessed since Jan I hope my Republican colleagues will stand up to this and the many other attacks on the institutions that are the bedrock of our Democratic system.” The Trump administration has characterized the cuts as an effort to correct overspending by eliminating waste and unnecessary bureaucracy in the interest of increasing efficiency without cutting health care and benefits while enrollment has been relatively steady over from fiscal years 2015 to 2025 — typically between 9.1 and 9.3 million and peaking in FY19 at 9.28 million — spending has more than doubled during that same period from $160.2 billion to $394 billion The number of employees also climbed from 363,544 to as many as 482,095 in FY24 the reported number of employees was 478,095 VA Press Secretary Pete Kasperowicz said the goal was to reduce staffing by approximately 15% to the 2019 levels of roughly 398,000 employees He also asserted those cuts would not affect essential employees we are guided by the fact that even though the Biden administration astronomically grew the department’s budget and number of employees VA wait times and backlogs increased,” Kasperowicz said data-driven review of all agencies and processes within the department with the goal of fixing the problems that have kept VA on the Government Accountability Office’s high-risk list since 2015 “We’re going to maintain VA’s mission-essential jobs like doctors while phasing out non-mission essential roles like DEI officers The savings we achieve will be redirected to veteran health care and benefits.” the final budget during former President Barack Obama’s administration the VA had a budget of $179.8 billion and 379,263 employees the VA budget had grown to $242.3 billion and 427,203 employees the budget and ranks swelled to $394.1 billion and 478,095 employees for FY25 Kasperowicz also noted staffing changes had not yet occurred Local veterans shared firsthand accounts of the impacts of staffing shortages and a continued decline in provided services for veterans Of the biggest concerns raised directly to Neal and company was the declining quality of medical care they receive several doctors who were there have either retired or transferred out of fear,” said Segundo One veteran explained how he had to wait over a year to receive a physical following the retirement of his previous physician Eventually he had to settle for a 10-minute telehealth appointment with a nurse in Boston there are only two primary care physicians serving thousands of veterans out of the Springfield outpatient clinic Many of the veterans pointed out to Neal and company that talking with their VA doctor especially in person like many prefer over telehealth makes a huge impact and is the difference in saving lives sometimes as veteran suicide rates continue to increase the VA announced that the VA Service Purchase program would stop accepting new enrollees beginning on May 1 The VASP was created under the Biden administration to stop foreclosures for veterans with VA-backed loans After exploring other home retention solutions special forbearances and standards loan modifications services will identify whether a loan is eligible for the VASP program Loan modification under VASP enables veterans to receive a new loan form the VA at 2.5% interest allowing them to avoid higher rates they may be forced into during a refinance Over 17,000 borrowers have been helped through the program “We are all necessarily alarmed by these cuts that have been proposed “But this has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with policy When you served the country nobody asked when you signed up ‘are you a Democrat or a Republican or are you an independent.’ They simply said through volunteerism or draft Oliveira agreed with Neal and said the community needs to stand shoulder and shoulder together during these challenging times He added some reflection from his own personal experience and how important these services are for veterans passed away at the beginning of the pandemic at 101 and was a wounded World War II veteran who received all of his care throughout most of his life through the VA,” Oliveira said “He was always impressed by the care that he received through our VA system When he was hit on April 1 in 1944 by a German artillery shell they told him on that April Fools Day that he would never walk again He walked up until the last month before he died without a cane or a walker and that’s due in part by the care that he received through the VA we understand that behind all of that are the services they provide for people like my Uncle Charlie.” I would like to receive emails from The Reminder LUDLOW, Ky. — Ludlow

Walker Funeral Home by Mountain Media has filed a sexual harassment complaint with the city’s mayor against City Councilmember Abby Miller for allegedly licking his hand during a job interview in October Smith had worked for the city before, having been hired as the chief of police in 2015 and then moved into the role of city administrator in 2019. He resigned from the position in April 2024 and was hiredagain at the end of the year which took place in an interview with Mayor Chris Wright and members of the previous city council in October “During the interview process with the council and mayor took my hand and licked it from my knuckle to my wrist,” Smith told LINK nky in a phone call LINK nky reached out to several of the current council members but they had not responded at the time of this story’s publication a former council member who lost her bid for reelection in November “Abby was the last one to shake his hand,” Frank said The council discussed the matter in public at a Thursday meeting City Attorney Todd McMurtry broached the topic towards the end of the meeting reading from Smith’s complaint letter to the mayor McMurtry said he was not necessarily accusing Miller of anything but stated “I looked at the facts and determined that – at a minimum – this would constitute battery under Kentucky law.” The council itself is the only body that had the power to discipline Miller It had three options: It could call a public hearing to openly discuss the allegations and bring the prospect of removing Miller from office to a vote Cross-examination would be allowed at the public hearing Alternatively, the council could refer the case to the Northern Kentucky Regional Ethics Authority a division of the Northern Kentucky Area Development District The incident is contextualized by tension around Smith’s appointment Councilmember David Ziegler and former Councilmember Lori Davenport were among Smith’s critics Davenport and Miller did not attend the meeting where the rest of the council voted to affirm Smith’s appointment and Ziegler was the only council member to vote against Smith’s appointment I don’t feel like it rises to the level of sexual harassment or whatever–battery Miller and her attorney attended Thursday’s meeting Councilmember Julia Navarre made a motion to discuss the matter which Councilmember Sarah Thompson seconded Navarre and Thompson did not talk during the discussion time but councilmembers Stephen Chapman and Paula Graszus both believed a public hearing was warranted When asked why Miller acted the way she did “I couldn’t tell you what the point to that whole thing would be…,” Smith said “I have no idea what would go through somebody’s head to do that in a professional setting.” Smith said he wasn’t really sure what to do about the incident characterizing it as “bizarre,” more than anything else he felt like a formal complaint was warranted If I would have done that during an interview – or any man would have done that – to a female walking out of an interview We would have encouraged that female to file criminal charges.” Smith said the licking was reflective of what he viewed as a broader culture of toxicity among the council members “It just goes back to show you the culture that several council members have created over the last couple years,” Smith said The council eventually cast votes to hold a public hearing at a later date with Ziegler being the only council member to vote “no.” Miller did not cast a vote A date for the hearing has not yet been scheduled This story originally appeared on our partner's website LINK nky.

thoughts & prayers are with you all at this most difficult time Both Jean and I always spoke highly of him We send our deepest condolences to his family In my career I have encountered many a strong and influential character We first ran into each other when I was a young university politician and he was the Dean of Students You can imagine……but fortunately we hit it off having discovered he was of the ” Ludlows of Fogo Island” and I was of the “Dawe and Anthony families of Fogo Island” We survived that foray into student politics and our paths intermingled over next few years as I pursued my career He was a great source of advice and a mentor although we often had to agree to disagree In 1996 I counted myself amongst the lucky few to belong to the first ever Masters of Education class specializing in student services championed by Wayne Libby Chaulk Candice Ennis-Williams Paul D He championed the most excellent life and work balance philosophy of ” SENSIBLE FOOLISHNESS”
