SPORTS WEEKLY<br />
TRIVIA: Who is the only<br />
major league baseball player<br />
to lead his league in<br />
home runs, RBIs, batting<br />
average, and stolen bases in<br />
the same year? Answer<br />
appears elsewhere in this<br />
column.<br />
•SENIOR FORWARD<br />
ELISE<br />
CAIRA<br />
( W A K E FIELD,<br />
MASS ./ARLINGTON<br />
CATHOLIC HS) scored 18<br />
points and claimed a dozen<br />
rebounds as the Bentley<br />
University women's basketball<br />
team, ranked 24th in<br />
Division II, extended its winning<br />
streak to eight with a 63-<br />
48 win over the University of<br />
Bridgeport last Wednesday<br />
afternoon in the opening<br />
game of the Southern New<br />
Hampshire University Holiday<br />
Classic at the SNHU Field<br />
House.<br />
Bentley, returning to action<br />
after a nine-day holiday<br />
break, shook off early rust to<br />
improve to 8-1 on the year<br />
while Bridgeport fell to 3-7.<br />
An early 13-2 run staked<br />
Bentley to a 15-6 advantage<br />
midway through the first half<br />
and the Falcons never gave up<br />
the lead the rest of the way<br />
(although the Purple Knights<br />
did cut the advantage to one<br />
at 17-16). Ten of the 13 were<br />
scored in the paint.<br />
Bentley went into the halftime<br />
brealc up ten at 28-18, due<br />
in large part to a late run of 11<br />
unanswered points that was<br />
fueled by sophomore guard<br />
Courtney Finn (Winthrop,<br />
Mass./Winthrop HS). After<br />
the Purple Knights had all but<br />
erased the Falcon lead, a layup<br />
by Caira and two free<br />
throws by senior guard Kim<br />
Brennan (Locust Velley,<br />
N.Y/Locust Valley HS) started<br />
the surge.<br />
Bentley piled up 38 points<br />
S &<br />
|1OMENEWS[1ERE.COII<br />
in the paint with Caira's 16<br />
two more than Bridgeport<br />
amassed as a team. Caira finished<br />
8 of 13 from the field and<br />
collected a third of her 12<br />
rebounds at the offensive end.<br />
•Jesse Todd (Camrose,<br />
AB) scored 2:34 into overtime,<br />
giving the 17th-ranked<br />
Merrimack hockey team the<br />
come-from-behind 2-1 victory<br />
over Army last Thursday<br />
night at the T^te Rink.<br />
Right off the draw 2:20<br />
into the extra frame,<br />
Stephane Da Costa (Paris,<br />
France) won the faceoff and<br />
worked it to the net, where<br />
Todd swatted at it, but it<br />
was turned aside by Jay<br />
Clark. But the unit of Todd,<br />
Da Costa and Chris Barton<br />
(Calgary, AB) kept working,<br />
and Todd got his own<br />
rebound and fired it past<br />
Clark, who was out of position,<br />
for the game-winner,<br />
his seventh tally of the year<br />
"That's a hard-working<br />
team," Merrimack head<br />
coach Mark Dennehy said<br />
of the Black Knights. "They<br />
should be. They're in<br />
incredible shape, and the<br />
game was taking shape they<br />
way they wanted it to take<br />
shape. There was a lot of<br />
hand-to-hand combat."<br />
With the victory,<br />
Merrimack remained<br />
unbeaten in non-conference<br />
action, improving to 3-0-1<br />
this season.<br />
Following a 25-day layoff,<br />
the Warriors struggled for<br />
much of the first two periods,<br />
only to be saved by<br />
JUNIOR GOALTENDER<br />
JOE CANNATA<br />
(WAKEFIELD. MA).<br />
Cannata made 21 stops<br />
through two periods, including<br />
a 2-on-O stop on Cody<br />
Omilusik midway through<br />
the first period.<br />

Hi! My name is Jonique. I want to be a nurse when I grow iq)!<br />
Jonique is a sweet, smart 14-year-old girl of Cape Verdean and<br />
Caucasian descent. While she tends to be quiet at first, and needs time<br />
to warm up to new people, once she feels comfortable, she shares her<br />
beautiful smile and good sense of humor Jonique is in the eighth<br />
grade where her favorite subject is science She hopes to be a nurse<br />
when she grows up, and enjoys taking French for a second language<br />
In her spare time, Jonique likes to read, draw and watch television.<br />
She really hkes the Harry Potter series. Jonique would like more opportunities<br />
to try activities such as going swimming, singing, and act<br />
ing. In her foster home, Jonique is generally respectful and obeys<br />
household rules. Jonique's social worker is seeking a single mom or<br />
a two-parent family who will provide Jonique with nurturance, structure<br />
and accountabihty when necessary. Jonique would like to have<br />
siblings and would do well with other children her age or older She<br />
also has an older sister and some contact between them would be beneficial.<br />
Legally free for adoption, Jonique is waiting to blossom with<br />
a caring family by her side<br />
Not ready to make a lifelong commitment? Try mentoring!<br />
Children in foster care m<br />
, Greater Boston need caring adult<br />
mentors. If you can commit to 8 hours<br />
I a month for one year, and go through<br />
a training and matching process, you<br />
could provide some stability and comfort<br />
to a child who needs someone to<br />
count on. To begin, contact AFC Mentoring<br />
at (617) 224-1300 or www.AFCmentoring.org.<br />
AFC Mentoring<br />
encourages foster and adopted youth<br />
to flourish through committed mentoring<br />
relationships. Hanging out two<br />
afternoons a month, going to movies,<br />
the mall, or bowling, can change two<br />
I lives - yours and a child's.<br />
wrister past Cannata for his<br />
third of the year at 7:03 of<br />
the second. Cody Ikkala and<br />
Mike Hull picked up the<br />
assists, as Dube beat a<br />
Merrimack defender down<br />
the left side, sniping it<br />
between the pads of<br />
Cannata.<br />
Cannata finished with 29<br />
stops, as Merrimack outshot<br />
Army 36-30. The junior<br />
emerged with a great glove<br />
stop in overtime on a Dube<br />
slapper, just 34 seconds<br />
before Todd gave the<br />
Warriors the victory.<br />

an extensive network of wetlands<br />

resource areas.<br />
Existing infrastructure<br />
systems within CCG were not<br />
adequate to support the hew<br />
facility, so a new half-mile<br />
long utUity corridor was<br />
included in the project.<br />
CEA Ventures is also the<br />
firm responsible for the construction<br />
of the Wobum High<br />
School athletic facility and<br />
site work, which included a<br />
new football stadium with synthetic<br />

Barring an unusually<br />
harsh winter, signs of<br />
progress at the worksite<br />
should be clearly visible by<br />
the time the warmer weather<br />
arrives this coming spring.<br />
. Tewksbury residents will<br />
fikley be keeping a close tab<br />
on the project, watching how<br />
there money is being spent<br />
after backing the project<br />
through a Proposition 2 1/2<br />
debt exclusion at the polls in<br />
early 2010.<br />
Voter turnout was unusually<br />
high, vnth 7,377 registered<br />
Tewksbury voters casting ballots,<br />
about 41 percent of total<br />
registered voters. The measure<br />
passed by an ahnost 6-to-l<br />
margin with 6,186 voting in<br />
favor and just 1,191 voting<br />
against. An average of 922 ballots<br />
were cast in each<br />
precinct.<br />
As part of the state's new<br />
Model School Program, the<br />
design of Tewksbury high<br />
school is being based on<br />
Hudson High School, which<br />
saves the community (and<br />
taxpayers) hundreds of thousands<br />
of doUars in design<br />
work.<br />
The MSBA accepted<br />
Tewksbury into the Model<br />
School Program in February,<br />
2009, and offered town offficials<br />
the opportunity to<br />
choose from plans of several<br />
model schools already constructed<br />
in other communities.<br />
The program saved<br />
Tfewksbury an estimated $1<br />
mfllion in prehminary design<br />
costs and another $1 million in<br />
architectural costs. The Model<br />
School Program also provides<br />
an extra five reimbursement<br />
percentage points, which are<br />
ultunately worth mUMons of<br />
dollars as well.<br />
While some communities<br />
have had to wait years to<br />
receive reimbursement<br />
checks from the state, the<br />
Model School Program guarantees<br />
reimbursement every<br />
30 days.<br />

new school will look like is<br />
