Movement
under way
to rebuild
train depot
BY ELISA KROCHMALNYCKYJ
NEW LEADER CORRESPONDENT
EAST BROOKFIELD — A crusade to resurrect
the historic Train Depot is gaining
strength, less than two weeks after the building
was destroyed in a weekend fire.
By the Monday, Sept. 27 Board of
Selectmen meeting, a “Save the Train
Depot” Facebook page had dozens of posts
and more than 320 fans.
Two women helping to organize the efforts
told the board that the group plans to ask
CSX railway, which owns the depot, to turn
the ruins over to the town.
“I think the hope is that CSX will give the
land as well, and we’ll move it 50 feet back
from the tracks,” said resident Amanda
Lambert.
Built in 1894, the depot stopped functioning
as a train station in 1961, and was being
used for storage of CSX’s signals and other
equipment, officials said.
The Sept. 18 fire was reported at about
10:30 p.m., but firefighters had to wait until
all passing trains were stopped before fully
fighting the fire, because the building is just
15 feet from the tracks, officials said.

Numbers,

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
SPENCER — Next week’s Special Town
Meeting will have 22 requests, ranging from
repairs to the police and fire stations to new rules
for house numbers.
The session will start at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 7
at Spencer Memorial Town Hall.
Listed third on the warrant is an article to
expand the town’s bylaw on putting up numbers
for houses, businesses and other structures.
The current bylaw (Article 11, Section 3) states
“every owner of a housing unit” in Spencer must
put on the building, on a mailbox “or on some
other device on the property” the house number
or apartment number assigned by the Board of
Assessors. The number “must be visible from the
street or road upon which the unit is located,” the
bylaw states.
The proposed bylaw, suggested by the Fire
Department and Board of Assessors, states house

An assortment of drugs — both prescription and non-prescription — was collected during the Drug
Enforcement Agency’s National Drug Take-Back Day Saturday, Sept. 25 at the Leicester Recycling
Center.
Drug Take-Back Day a success
‘SOME PEOPLE CAME WITH GARBAGE BAGS FULL’
BY GUS STEEVES
NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
Anybody who has had to clean out a
loved one’s home posthumously has certainly
run into extremely old bottles of
medication and pills of unknown identity.
Last weekend, many of those found their
way into police custody for destruction as
part of the Drug Enforcement
Administration’s National Drug Take-
Back Day, which had sites in Leicester,
Webster, Putnam, Conn., Warren, Millbury
and Worcester, among others.
To the event’s coordinator in Leicester,
Ruth Kaminski, the effort was an unusual
opportunity to combine two things she’s
passionate about. For many years, she has
run the local recycling center — which
served as the collection site.
“Any time there’s an opportunity to recycle
anything, we’re generally a part of it,”
she said.
In this case, it is the pill bottles, which
are No. 5 plastic and therefore not accepted
by many communities. Kaminski noted
most collection sites planned to dump the
pills and give the bottle back, but in
Leicester the bottles were soaked to
remove labels and then recycled.
It’s also the pills themselves, since
Kaminski volunteers in a home for people
fighting addictions.

Calling
for brain
training
BY GUS STEEVES
NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
For years, there has been media coverage
of traumatic brain injuries among soldiers
returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. But
thousands of people still in school suffer
similar, if not as gruesome, injuries close to
home, often doing fun things — football, biking,
cheerleading and even just playing at
recess.
This July, that trend led to the passage of
state Senate bill 2469, a law requiring schools
— but not independent sports entities — to
annually train “coaches, trainers and parent
volunteers for any extracurricular athletic
activity,” including marching band; doctors
and nurses; athletic and band directors; and
the parents themselves on various issues
related to sports-related head injuries.
Although local school officials say they
support the concept, many share the view of
Dudley-Charlton Superintendent Sean
Gilrein — that it’s “a considerable burden on
the school district” to ensure everyone gets
trained and necessary records are kept.
Southbridge Athletic Director Brian Davis
agreed.
“It’s a great idea because safety is our

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
SPENCER — John Waage could not imagine
having any other job. As band director at David
Prouty High School for the past six years,
Waage gets the opportunity to combine two of
his passions every day: teaching and music.
“I am passionate about music and have
always been aware of the positive role it played
in my life,” he said. “I had great teachers and I
want to provide similar experiences for students
through music education.”
One way he works toward this goal is as the
leader of the school’s beloved marching band,
the David Prouty Marching Panther Band. The
band, known as the “pride of Central Mass.,”
has been a pretty big deal in this neck of the
woods in the past. According to Waage, this
year will be no different.
Besides performing at high school football
games, the band, which this year is 40 members
strong, regularly competes in Massachusetts

SPENCER — He may be new to Wire
Village School, but Richard Meagher is anything
but new to education, with 19 years
under his belt.
Beyond that, he notes, both parents were
teachers in Worcester.
“This is an opportunity to make a positive
impact and form new relationships, but I’m
also leaving some relationships,” he said,
noting he maintains contact with staff at his
last post, Northbridge Middle School. He
spent nine years there as assistant principal,
helping run a school notably different from
his new one. Northbridge Middle is a
“sprawling, 200-year-old building with a 20-
year-old connection” and 800 students, while
WVS opened just six years ago and has half
that many students. Of course, they’re also of
different ages; his old students were Grades
5-8, and he noted “you want to keep 5 and 8
separate for very good reasons,” but his current
ones are Grades 4-6, which can mix more
easily. The current school tends to operate in
a “more nurturing” way while trying to promote
“some independence,” while the middle
school level is “more rigorous,” he said.
Meagher himself seems to mix easily, presenting
a relaxed demeanor even when
inconvenienced. Maybe that has something

to do with his wide range of interests, which
include cooking, running, racquetball, tennis
and — appropriately for a teacher — books.
He even once toyed with going to law school,
but admits he is “very happy with that decision”
not to, partly because his wife did.
To Meagher, reading is crucial to “being a
lifelong learner,” largely because it enables
people to process things quietly and “enter
another world.” That’s why he’s dismayed at
statistics showing around half of the U.S.
population reads less than one book a year.
“Loving to read and understanding the joys
of reading outside educational settings is
huge,” Meagher observed. “It’s something
we’ve gotten away from as a society.”
His idea of literature is one he admits is
somewhat uncommon, especially now. But it
is also oddly appropriate given the current
economic conditions, because Meagher
favors authors who came of age in the 1920s
and ’30s — John Cheever, F. Scott Fitzgerald,
William Yeats and Philip Roth.
“It’s awe-inspiring some of the sentences
they construct,” he said.
Ironically, Meagher never really planned to
teach. At Worcester State he took a class
called “American Metropolitan Evolution”
that interested him so much “I changed my
funding may be sought.
The Town of Brookfield is also concerned
with regional activities that are often funded
through the block grant program and continues
to collaborate with the towns of Ware,
Hardwick and Warren to address the same
concerns. As such, regional priorities and
activities will also be discussed.
Interested people are invited to attend and
are encouraged to provide input on the
Community Development Strategy. For information

major and got a degree in Urban Studies.”
But, as many students quickly discovered
upon graduating, his field did not have many
jobs available. So he started his classroom
career as a substitute in Worcester’s
McGrath Elementary School in 1993 and
eventually earned a master’s in education.
He described that first school as “the perfect
balance of good and struggling students,”
but said there is a notable difference
in the social mix in an urban school versus
his current one. Wire Village, although not
the same age range, has a socioeconomic mix
similar to that in Northbridge, however, he
said. There, Meagher saw the economy bite
hard, with budget cuts costing the school a
third of its faculty and support staff.
“We had to revamp and work with the
schedule and faculty to manage a building in
dire circumstances,” he recalled, noting the
strong support he received “certainly left a
lasting impression.”
“When your faculty understand the decisions
you make as principal are based on
what’s best for the students, you can work
with that faculty,” he added.

BROOKFIELD — The 32nd
Annual Apple Country Fair, set
for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct.
9 on the Brookfield Town
Common, will offer handmade
décor, jewelry and clothing from
70 crafters, Brookfield’s best pies,
fudge and candied apples, and
affordable entertainment for the
whole family.
Much more than a one-day
bazaar, Brookfield’s Apple
Country Fair is a communitygrown
tradition, now 32 years
old, that gives back the year
through. The Brookfield
Community Club organizes the
fair each year, and proceeds support
a number of community
service projects, from the publication
of the town newsletter to
scholarships for graduating students
and holiday dinners for
Brookfield’s senior citizens.
This year’s fair will welcome
thousands of visitors from near
and far to browse the booths,
sample local culture and enjoy
the entertainment. Crafters
hand-selected from throughout
the region will showcase and sell
their distinctive jewelry, toys,
fashion, soaps and home décor.
Face painting, sand art and other
activities will delight the
younger crowd. The Masons
Guild of North Brookfield will
provide concessions such as coffee
and breakfast sandwiches for
the early worms and burgers and
soft drinks for the hungry
lunchtime crowd. The fair’s
famous fudge, candied apples and
applesauce, and treats baked in
kitchens from Molasses Hill to
Devil’s Elbow, will satisfy sweet
tooths at the bake table. Music
from the Millboys and Chuck and
Mud will set the down-home, funtime
mood.
Entries for the apple pie baking
contest are accepted at Town Hall
until 10 a.m. the day of the fair.
Judging categories are for children
12 and under, ages 13-19, and
adults. Winners receive ribbons
and bragging rights. Losers (and
others) can buy a slice of the
competition.
The centerpiece of the fair is
the Community Quilt, the grand
prize in the Apple Country
“Rapple.” The quilt has a tradition
as long as the fair, as citizens
come together to select
a design and share in
the sewing. This year’s
quilt, patched together
by a dozen volunteers
at the Merrick Public
Library, features traditional
red autumn
shades of cranberry
and apple. It is on display
at the library
until the day of the
fair and in the center
of the Common that
day. Other raffle prizes
include tickets to cultural
events, family
admissions to local
museums and attractions,
gift certificates
to area restaurants and
shops, and items donated
by local businesses.
Rapple tickets are $2 each or
three for $5, and now available at
the library and from Brookfield
Community Club board members.
On the day of the fair, purchase
tickets at the tent in the
center of the common. The raffle
is an important fundraising component
of the fair that directly

LEICESTER — Without a doubt, Jared
Walsh and his family are facing the biggest
challenges in their lives right now.
Jared, a 12-year old from Leicester and a
member of the Leicester Little League’s
Texas Rangers baseball team, was diagnosed
with leukemia earlier in 2010. He has been
undergoing aggressive treatments each week
and hopes to be able to return to school later
this fall.
Jared was diagnosed early, and his prognosis
is excellent. His family has been faced
with many challenges to obtain and provide
him with the best medical care.
Leicester Little League will be hosting a
fundraiser for the family to help them with
expenses of Jared’s medical care that are not
covered by insurance. The fundraiser will be
held from 5 p.m. to midnight Saturday, Oct. 23
at Hillcrest Country Club in Leicester. There
will be dinner, a DJ and raffles. As part of the
benefit there will also be a silent auction;
Little League is seeking donations for the
auction.
Tickets are $25 each and can be purchased
in advance or at the door. For anyone who
cannot attend and wishes to donate, monetary
donations can be sent to Leicester Little
League, P.O. Box 393, Leicester, MA 01524. Or,
credit card donations can be made by going
to www.leicesterlittleleague.com and clicking

Mundell: Terms ‘major violation’ of Brookfield charter
BY DAVID DORE
NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
BROOKFIELD — A town official
claimed last week the Board of
Selectmen committed a “major violation”
of the bylaws when
Treasurer James Dunbar and Tax
Collector Lois Moores were not
reappointed to three-year terms.
Advisory Committee member
Cindy Mundell said at the Tuesday,
Sept. 21 selectmen’s meeting that
Section 30 of the town’s personnel
bylaws states the treasurer and tax
collector are to be appointed to
three-year terms.
The board voted earlier this year
to appoint Dunbar to a one-year
term because of the possibility of
combining the treasurer and tax
collector positions. When the posts
were elected, the same person held
both of them.
As for Moores, “technically the
tax collector was not reappointed
for anything,” Selectman Peter
O’Connell noted. On the advice of
the town’s attorney, he said, Moores
is staying on as a “continuing
employee” until she reaches certain
benchmarks for collecting several
years’ worth of overdue property
taxes.
“This is not concerning Lois,”
Mundell said. “This is concerning
the position.”
Mundell is working with Town
Clerk Michael Seery on a plan to
ensure the town’s bylaws are up to
date and reflect new bylaws
approved in recent years. The plan
is supposed to be presented to
selectmen Tuesday, Oct. 5.
Mundell said she spoke with people
in the state attorney general’s
office on the alleged bylaw violation,
who told her there was “nothing
there that will override this
bylaw to make it a one-year term.”
O’Connell said later in the discussion
he interpreted the bylaw to
deal with initial appointments for
the tax collector and treasurer, “but
silent on successive appointments.”
Added in May 2000, Section 30
states: “A Screening Committee
composed of seven persons will
establish the qualifications, review
the applications and make a recommendation
to the Board of
Selectmen of, at most, three candidates.
The Screening Committee
will be composed of one member of
the Board of Selectmen, one of the
Advisory Committee, one member
of the Personnel Board, and four
citizens chosen by the Town
Moderator. The four citizens chosen,
will, in so far as possible, have
backgrounds in municipal finance,
accounting, data processing, banking,
law or other similar fields. The
Board of Selectmen will appoint for
a term of three years a candidate
recommended by the Screening
Committee.”
“This is the first I’ve heard of
this violation,” Selectmen
Chairman Rudy Heller told
Mundell, adding later, “As is clear
by our general lack of knowledge …
I am not at all prepared at this point
to discuss this issue, but I will be
happy to have it put on the agenda”
for a future meeting.
As a result of last week’s meeting,
a group of Brookfield residents
is circulating petitions asking
selectmen to put questions on the
Oct. 29 Special Town Meeting on
whether both the tax collector and
the Advisory Committee should
“become an elected position not
appointed by the Board of
Selectmen.” The group will have to
collect the signatures of at least 240
Brookfield voters before Tuesday,
Oct. 5 for the petitions to be valid
and the questions to appear on the
Town Meeting warrant. The Board
of Selectmen is scheduled to close
the warrant Oct. 5 so it can be posted
in accordance with state law.
TAX COLLECTION UPDATE
Later in last week’s meeting,
O’Connell gave an update on
Moores’ efforts to comply with state
law and collect unpaid taxes dating
back to 2002.
He reported that Moores is finishing
up the remaining letters she
will sent to property owners who
owe taxes for fiscal 2002 to fiscal
2009.
“Payments are coming in along
with complaints that the taxpayers
should have received notifications
that they owed back taxes to avoid
piling up of 14 percent interest,”
said O’Connell.
People who owe property taxes
for fiscal 2010 got a letter from
Moores notifying them they must
pay within 30 days, he said. If they
did not pay, Moores will start the
tax taking process Oct. 2 through
Municipal
Management
Associates, a Marlborough-based
company the town hired to help
with the process. That help comes
at a price: about $75 for the company’s
fee, $45 for advertising and $75
for filing the tax taking documents
at the Worcester County Registry of
Deeds — a total penalty of about
$200, on top of the original amount
owed and interest accruing at 14
percent per year.
“Taxpayers should either pay
their back taxes now or arrange for
a payment plan with the tax collector,”
O’Connell said.
He noted the amount owed in
property taxes for fiscal 2010
through June exceeded the amount
of delinquent taxes collected for fiscal
2002 through fiscal 2009 by about
$5,000. He also said the amount of
interest and penalties collected
exceeded the town’s estimates by
more than $50,000, which will
become “free cash” (the term for
unexpended money from the previous
fiscal year).
Selectmen voted last week to ask
Moores and Dunbar for reports on
their collection efforts, and for
Moores to include a letter with the
next batch of property tax bills
telling people who are delinquent of
the taxes, interest and fees they owe
(as required by state law).
O’Connell’s report concluded
with a suggestion for fellow board
members: “High delinquent tax balances
mean that taxes are higher
than they have to be. Assuming that
aggressive delinquent tax collection
does in fact produce a surplus
above and beyond any unpaid takes
for [fiscal 2011], the [Board of
Selectmen] should go on record in
using at least a portion of that surplus
to reduce the tax rate.”
Heller said “this board is considering
that” as an option, while
James Allen remarked, “We like the
idea, at least that’s how I look at it.”

Federal funds means job openings in Leicester
BY DAVID DORE
NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
LEICESTER — The Leicester Public
Schools will reverse the recent trend of staff
layoffs, thanks to money from the federal government.
The district got $434,103 from the
Education Jobs Fund, a $10 billion fund
approved by Congress earlier this year and
designed to save teachers’ jobs. The grant,
given out within the last few weeks, is good
for two years.
Gov. Deval Patrick said in August the
money Leicester got would save an estimated
eight teaching positions. And at the Sept. 20
School Committee meeting, Superintendent
Paul Soojian presented a plan to hire at least
four new instructors:
• A fifth-grade teacher at Leicester
Memorial School to lower class sizes from 28-
30 pupils to 24-25 pupils.
• A music teacher to be split between
Leicester Memorial and Leicester Primary
School.
• An English teacher at Leicester High
School.
• A math teacher for Leicester Middle
School, where School Committee member
James Gonyea told the Spencer New Leader
last week there has been “some trouble” with
MCAS math scores for pupils receiving free
and reduced lunch — one of the subgroups
the state Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education tracks in MCAS testing.
According to Gonyea, the district lost 17
people this year through retirements (and
their jobs not being filled) and layoffs (equal
to 10.4 positions), in addition to 12 people
leaving last year.
Change at the top
With new responsibilities comes a switch
in leadership on the School Committee.
Gonyea announced at the start of last
week’s meeting that he would be stepping
down as chairman, three months after being
appointed to the post. He ended up switching
with previous Vice Chairman Scott Reider,
who automatically became chairman after
Gonyea’s announcement.
Explaining the reason for his decision,
Gonyea said, “I’ve accepted a new job in
Hartford. Since it’s a new job I need to focus
on it, and since it’s in Hartford I’m going to
have an hour commute each way. It would
make it difficult for me to perform the duties
of chair, so to be fair to the committee and
community I’ve chosen to step down as
chair.”
Mark Armington, who served as chairman
until the board reorganized in June, will
remain as board secretary.

BROOKFIELD — A hearing will be held
Wednesday, Oct. 6 on plans by the state
Department of Transportation and railroad
company CSX to replace one of the
bridges on Fiskdale Road (Route 148). The
hearing will start at 7 p.m. at Brookfield
Elementary School.
The project would raise the deck (or
roadway) of the bridge over the CSX railroad
tracks, near the junction with Mill,
Pleasant and Lower River streets, between
9 and 20 inches.
“In their plan, at this moment the bridge
would be totally closed for one weekend, at
which time they would be working 24/7 to
jack up the bridge,” Brookfield Selectman
Peter O’Connell said last week.
The bridge would be open to emergency
vehicles and school buses, but not other
traffic, for about a week afterward, he said.
Once that is complete, one lane would be
open on the bridge, with traffic lights regulating
the flow of vehicles.
Grants, staff and donations
Also at last week’s School Committee meeting:
• Soojian discussed a plan to seek funding
from the state’s Green Repair Program to
repair the roof at Leicester Middle School
and fix the condensing tank at Leicester
Memorial School.
The Green Repair Program, run by the
Massachusetts School Building Authority,
gives school district the chance to get money
for buildings that are “structurally, functionally
and educationally sound except for the
condition of the roof, windows, and/or boilers,”
the authority’s website states. The
repairs must “produce measurable energy
savings and shall incorporate sustainable
maintenance practices.”
The Leicester School District used the
Green Repair Program’s predecessor three
years ago to replace the roof at Leicester
Primary School.
The School Committee voted to approve the
application, but the Board of Selectmen also
needed to sign off on it. Meeting at the same
time Sept. 20, selectmen voted 4-0 to allow
Town Administrator Robert Reed (as the
town’s chief executive) to sign the application.
Selectman Douglas Belanger’s motion also
included a directive to Reed to come back to
the board if there are any “economic” strings
attached to either the application or the
acceptance of funds.
• Soojian introduced the district’s new technology
director, Anthony Tomah. He previously
served as communications and information
technology director in Boxborough
(serving both the town and the school district),
director of educational technology in
Middleborough and technology director for
the Newport, R.I., public schools.
The previous technology director, Daniel
Durgin Jr., took a position with another
school district, Gonyea said.
Tomah has a master’s degree in education
and is certified by the Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education. He
will complete an overview of technology in
the district and come up with a plan to deal
with issues he might find, Gonyea said.
• The Primary School Volunteers presented
a check for $2,700 to fund the school’s art program.
It had not been funded by the district
for a few years, although this year’s budget
has money for the art program.
David Dore may be reached at (508) 909-4140,
or by e-mail at ddore@stonebridgepress.com.
Hearing next week on Brookfield bridge plans
The project is part of a larger plan,
dubbed “CSX Bridge Bundle No. 3,” to
raise seven bridges so there is enough
room for double-stacked freight trains to
pass underneath. Also to be raised are
bridges on Route 49 in Spencer, Boston
Post Road (routes 19 and 67) in West
Brookfield and Jones Road and Spencer
Road (Route 31) in Charlton, along with
spans in Westborough and Worcester.
O’Connell said state officials hope to
start the Brookfield project right away
while they and the contractor wait for
steel needed to raise the other six bridges.
If work waited until the spring, he said,
“they could not get the other six bridges
built in time.” And if work starts right
away, he noted, it would be completed in
June.

• SPENCER NEW LEADER 5
Savings, service key to regionalization
BY GUS STEEVES
NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
With most towns facing a likely
fiscal problem in 2012 as stimulus
funds dry up, many are looking for
alternative ways to provide services
at less cost. Among the numerous
ideas being discussed are various
forms of regionalization, in
which towns share staff and/or
purchase energy or materials in
bulk.
In Charlton, the Financial
Planning Committee has suggested
regionalizing police and fire dispatch,
the building inspector, planner,
conservation agent and animal
control, and selectmen approved
investigating sharing the building
inspector with Dudley last week.
Charlton’s job is held by Curt
Meskus, who said he told Town
Administrator Robin Craver about
Dudley’s recent ad seeking to hire
an inspector. The two of them conference-called
Dudley’s town
administrator Wednesday, Sept. 22.
“The concept of regionalization
of many services is being explored
by the [Financial Planning
Committee], some department
heads and the selectmen,” Meskus
said before that call. “… It is going
to take thought, planning, discussion
and agreement between the
towns on the level of service that
can be rendered by any regionalization
proposal.”
Specifically, he said, the two
towns need to work out time, communication
and management,
address what happens if one town
becomes so busy as to need the
shared person full-time, and other
issues. He also suggested considering
a larger regional operation covering
several towns in a “hub
model,” in which there would be a
head inspector and specific duties
could be fulfilled by the nearest
inspector.
A few years ago, Meskus recalled,
Sturbridge Town Administrator
James Malloy proposed sharing
two building inspectors with
Charlton and Southbridge, but “at
that time, it was not palatable to
this board.”
Down the hall, Town Planner
Alan Gordon does not much like
the idea of sharing his job with
another town. It is an idea used by
Spencer and Leicester, who are temporarily
sharing a town planner.
With a variety of projects coming
forward, the need to manage those
in progress, and economic development
issues, Gordon said his plate
is already full with Charlton duties,
and he believes those efforts would
suffer under a regional set-up.
Instead, Gordon advocates trying
to regionalize the purchase of
employee benefits and basic materials
needed for town government to
function. He said Charlton was
looking at that a few years ago,
under former Town Administrator
Jill Myers, but it has since fallen by
the wayside.
Although purchasing has not
been raised by the Financial
Planning Committee or selectmen,
it’s not a new idea, even in
Massachusetts. Several communities
— including Worcester,
Shrewsbury, Grafton and Holden —
are part of Municipalities
Organized for Regional
Effectiveness (MORE), for which
Myers once served as executive
director.
According to the fiscal 2008 annual
report on MORE’s webpage,
member towns buy in bulk using
Worcester’s 285-plus contracts for
everything from salt and paper to
gasoline. If a town needs a product,
it provides quantity data to MORE,
who sends it to the city prior to bidding.
After a contract is awarded,
the town gets the name of the winning
bidder and “is then responsible
to execute its contract directly
with the winning bidder.”
“Due to the complexity of the
Massachusetts 30B Procurement
process this program is a real time
saver for communities large and
small,” the report states, referring
to the legal chapter governing buying
practices. “One of the biggest
gripes heard from the MORE Board
of Directors is that bid protests can
be particularly time consuming
and expensive for towns due to
legal fees incurred. This program
eliminates the involvement of individual
town staff members and the
legal fees.”
Closer to home, the Brookfields,
Warren and New Braintree are collectively
investigating a variety of
regional efforts, including purchasing
office supplies and utilizing
Hampshire County’s bulk energy
contracting process.
According to Brookfield
Selectman Rudy Heller, that effort
has taken about seven years to
develop to this point, with formal
collaboration for the last three and
the regional purchasing effort for
three months. He said the group
has been working with UMass-
Boston’s Collins Center for help
with drafting memoranda of
understanding and other paperwork.
“There isn’t always a direct cost
savings. But where there isn’t a cost
savings, there’s an improvement of
service,” Heller noted. “… We’ve
made a conscious decision to start
small and let this fire of regionalization
build, then look at more
ambitious projects.”
Among the possibilities he would
like to investigate going forward
are regional police, fire and/or
highway departments (they already
have a regional dispatch) plus
greater sharing of expensive but
rarely used equipment. In the latter
case, Heller noted, “it’s a matter of
scheduling. We already do that with
East Brookfield with some pieces of
equipment.”
Regarding energy, Heller sees “a
great potential” for cooperative
effort that will have both economic
and environmental benefits. With
prices for traditional energy
sources likely to keep rising, he
said it makes sense to make upfront
investments in localized alternative
energy that will pay for
themselves over time.
North Brookfield Selectman
Mary Walter noted the group is trying
to start with projects that are
“doable and not disruptive, just to
demonstrate we can be successful
working together.” Her town is taking
the lead in an effort to coordinate
human resources, such as
common job descriptions, an
employee handbook, personnel
policies and job evaluation practices.
In the future, she added, the
group might look into a regional
personnel board, sharing a fulltime
human resources person and
taking the load off town administrators
or whoever handles health
insurance.
Walter said the goal is to “put
into place the system we need to
operate efficiently … [and] increase
the level of expertise of the person
we hire.”
In the public health realm, a similar
effort to boost skill has gone on
since 2002, with state and federal
money funding emergency preparedness
regions and subregions
(the South County’s Tri-EPIC group
is one of the latter). Likewise,
Community Health Network Areas
have existed since the early 1990s to
coordinate social services and public
health issues. But both kinds of
entities have defined functions that
don’t cover many of the things
town health and inspection offices
must do.
To address that gap, the state has
been promoting (but not yet funding)
the formation of regional
health districts. It released the
Public Health Regionalization
Project report, an early-stage exploration
of the potentials of such districts,
last November.
“Faced with funding and workforce
challenges; increasing
demands including water and air
quality, housing safety, and emergency
preparedness; and regional
disparities, most municipalities are
currently unable to meet many of
their responsibilities, providing
only those services deemed most
essential — in short, performing
public health triage,” the report
states. It notes that a significant
minority of towns lack health
agents and sometimes do not even
have the resources to keep the
legally required records of communicable
diseases.
The report advises having a minimum
of 50,000 people or 155 square
miles within such a district, adding
it can be formed under either a
“comprehensive” or “shared services”
model. The former centralizes
all health services; the latter shares
certain staff members.
It uses the Tri-Town Public
Health Department of Lee, Lenox
and Stockbridge as a case study; it
started in 1929 as an effort to prevent
milk contamination, but soon
evolved into an agency addressing
waste disposal, water supply protection,
environmental testing,
inspections and more under the
“shared services” model, with Lee
selling services to the other two.

Students’ project hopes for ‘whirl’ peace
PROUTY, KNOX TRAIL, WIRE VILLAGE PART OF WORLDWIDE EFFORT
BY M. CATHERINE BYSZEK
NEW LEADER CORRESPONDENT
SPENCER — It started with an e-mail
between two art teachers, and has been
“whirling” ever since.
For the last few years, Jane Higgins at
David Prouty High School and Caroline
Dacey at Knox Trail Junior High School have
participated in Pinwheels for Peace, a worldwide
effort to mark the International Day of
Peace on Sept. 21. This year, some teachers
from Wire Village School got involved as well.
When asked if teachers were receptive to
allotting class time for the project, Higgins
responded, “Many teachers welcome a different
way to discuss and explore the concepts
that they teach. Most spend less than one
class block on the project so it is not overly
time consuming.”
Individual teachers introduce students to
the concept of Pinwheels for Peace in various
ways. Some start by reading historical
war background or a poem about violence or
peace, whereas others, such as English teachers,
might have their pupils research quotes
or use poetry or lyrics on their pinwheels.
According to Higgins, science or math teachers
might talk about the engineering of a pinwheel,
a marketing teacher might discuss
communicating/selling ideas, and so on.
“One thing I do try to emphasize is that this
is not a political statement, but more about
the tolerance and harmony wished for all
humankind,” Higgins said.
Higgins distributed 380 templates and
materials kits to nine teachers in seven subjects
at Prouty. With the high school and middle
school pinwheels, there were roughly 600
whirling pinwheels for peace on Sept. 21. The
schools had their pieces of peaceful art on
display for morning commuters on that
Tuesday, and they stayed there for the rest of
last week.
“As the facilitator of the project at the high
school it is challenging to efficiently gather
and distribute the materials used for the project,”
Higgins said. “We use surplus paper

that was donated to the school so we do not
use any school stock. Howe Lumber gave us
dowels at cost the first year and now we reuse
them.”
She also added that FLEXcon donated the
laminating paper used for the project.
At Knox Trail, Dacey said, Pinwheels for
Peace expanded this year to include a
fundraiser for the Parent-Teacher
Organization. For 25 cents students wrote
messages of peace for a Knox Trail Wall of
Peace. On Sept. 21 everyone was encouraged
to dress in
a way that
expressed peace.
Over the last few years, the message of
peace and tolerance has remained the same
for this project; however, some adjustments
and improvements have been made. Pins
have been replaced by pipe cleaners, decorated
paper covered with laminating paper to
make it less affected by the elements and
dowels have been sharpened for the incredible
hard Route 9 ground in front of the high
school.
“It is little things like that which keep me
thinking and also make the whole event go
more smoothly,” Higgins said.
The pinwheels are a way to not just bring
to life the variations of neon-colored peace
signs students sometimes wear on their
shirts and socks, as well as other clothing
referring to anti-war slogans, but also give
commuters and passersby something to
appreciate and reflect upon.

VIEWPOINT
OPINION AND COMMENTARY FROM SPENCER, LEICESTER AND THE BROOKFIELDS
EDITORIAL
Playing with
our food
once again
Why can’t they just stop playing
with our food? It’s a basic lesson we
thought everyone learned from their
mother.
Granted, some improvements were
thought to be good at the time, but
even pasteurization has its detractors.
Think about it: just because boiling
milk makes it last longer and kill
germs, who’s to say some of those
germs weren’t beneficial to man over
the millennia? How else does one
explain probiotic yogurt?
Many people who grew up drinking
raw milk — as it is called now — are
repulsively healthy. No allergies. No
major illnesses. Could there be a link
to good health and eating in a more
natural manner?
Hmmm. That one deserves much
more consideration than it gets.
Twenty years ago, how many who
were in school at the time even heard
of another kid anywhere who was
allergic to an entire food group?
We bring this up because a
Massachusetts firm is on the cusp of
convincing the FDA to approve genetically
altered salmon — a frankenfish
that grows twice as fast as the natural
variety and “appears” to be safe,
according to an advisory committee.
They did grant more testing is in
order. But why bother?
We’re thinking money may be the
answer to that question. Money is
behind the beef industry shooting
cattle up with so much antibiotics
and growth hormones that children
reach puberty earlier than they once
did and medical science is seeing
more antibiotic-resistant “superbugs”
than ever before.
So enter AquaBounty — who could
hate a name like that? They are itching
to start genetically altering fish
ASAP, arguing it is economically wise
and environmentally sustainable.
That last word works a lot of magic
these days, but critics have some
weighty concerns.
You start to mess with genetics of
the food we eat and you end up with
more food allergies and less of the
natural species. And look how much
backlash simply farming salmon has
created globally.
But man likes to tinker, and tinker
he will. This is more certainly so if
the words money and jobs are connected
to it.
This is not a rush to create a vital
medicine to help eradicate disease. It
is a case in which the very thing that
would be created may have shortterm
benefits, but let one of these
superfish out into the wild and you
start on the slippery slope to the eradication
of a specifies with one fin in
the endangered column already.
It seems we are much to willing to
gain a world of fish and lose our soul
— and maybe our health along with it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Griggs: Vote Evangelidis for Worcester County sheriff
To the Editor:
The job of sheriff isn’t simply about keeping
the inmates locked away from the public
or running the local jail. The sheriff is a valued
stakeholder in our communities,
responsible to implement initiatives that
benefit the citizens.
Lew Evangelidis has made Community
Partnerships one of his top priorities. Aside
from ending patronage, saving taxpayer
money and fighting for the implementation
of inmate fees, Lew will bring innovative
SOUND OFF
programs to our schools to educate our children
about the dangers of drugs and alcohol,
cyber-bullying and online predators. He
has also pledged to work with our seniors to
educate them on fraud and scam prevention.
For the betterment of our communities, I
encourage you to vote for Lew Evangelidis
for Worcester County sheriff.

Morgenthau: Thank you to local Fresh Air Fund hosts
To the Editor:
This year, 94 New York City children
found out once again just how special summer
is in Southern Massachusetts. Fresh
Air Fund hosts, volunteers and local supporters
dedicated their time and efforts to
help these inner-city youngsters experience
simple summertime pleasures, including
afternoons of swimming, fishing at sunset
and roasting S’mores over a campfire.
None of this would be possible without
Victoria Cox-Lanyon, your local Fresh Air
Fund volunteer leader, who works throughout
the year to make sure host families and
children have the opportunity to enjoy memorable
summertime experiences together. I
invite you to join Victoria and the local
Fresh Air Fund committee to help spread
the word about the wonderful opportunity of
hosting next summer.
The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, notfor-profit
agency, has provided free summer
vacations to over 1.7 million New York City
children from low-income communities
since 1877. For more information on how
you can help to continue this wonderful tradition
of volunteering, please call Victoria
Cox-Lanyon at (508) 476-1194 or visit

Hicks: District has bought new textbooks in recent years
To the Editor:
A School Committee member recently
stated the Spencer-East Brookfield Regional
School District has not purchased a textbook
series in many years. This was not factually
accurate. In the five previous years
$221,677 was spent on new textbook series.
These textbooks were purchased, in large
part, due to my having secured capital funds
from the district’s two towns for this specific
purpose. We also utilized federal grant
money as well as surplus funds when they
were available. These textbooks ranged from
a complete English Language Arts adoption
to social studies and science textbooks for
high school subjects and new books for the
implementation of the guided reading program
in the elementary schools.
Although I certainly wish we had more
funds to replace and update textbooks, I
think the taxpayers need to know that we
have made these purchases. I also know we
are not the only school district that is delaying
such purchases until the economy
rebounds. I think it is even more important
that parents know that we have been updating
textbooks whenever we can, and that we
seek funding for these books outside of the
regular budget whenever possible.
I want to emphatically state that negative
comments such as the ones made about our
alleged lack of new textbooks do nothing
but help to destroy our school district’s reputation.
This leads to more children leaving
our district for another under School
Choice. This only takes precious state funds
away from our children.

Holdcraft: Brookfield sign ‘will always speak the truth’
To the Editor:
For several years I filmed and recorded
every selectmen’s meeting as the videographer
for the Public Access Committee here
in the Town of Brookfield. Through the lens
of my camera I saw people lie and make
poor decisions that benefited only themselves
and didn’t seem to benefit the town or
the townspeople at all.
Coincidentally, I happen to have a big yellow
sign on Route 9 and decided to raise the
awareness of the townspeople as to what I
saw and heard at these meetings. By posting
the negative alongside the positive up on my
big yellow sign, the people could decide for
themselves what was best for them and their
town.
What some may call “airing out of our
dirty laundry,” I call honesty, truth and
accountability in representation. Others
have said that they agree with my politics,
but disagree with my tactics. Sometimes
telling the truth can come across as negative.
You may not always agree with what
the sign says, but the big yellow sign will
always speak the truth!

Experience with child with peanut allergies teaches lessons
Sound Off:
I would like to Sound Off regarding the
dangers of peanuts and peanut products. I
am the mother of a child — and now a
grandchild — that has had allergies toward
peanuts, peanut butter and any product
with peanuts.
Does the anonymous person in last week’s
paper (“Banning peanuts at elementary
school not the answer,” Sept. 17) have experience
with watching or seeing a child react
from peanut butter if they’re allergic to it?
How would they feel about rushing their 10-
month-old child to the hospital because her
little throat was closing up, she was fighting
to breathe, hives the size of a quarter covering
her whole body and her eyes swelling up
so she couldn’t see — all because there was a
dish of peanuts on a table? She was too
small to reach the table, so we know she had
not touched them. It was in the air. Just the
odor itself of the peanuts, or whatever it is.
I educated my child, and we educate our
grandchild, on what to do. I sent Benadryl to
the school nurse and we made our child
aware to watch for the warning signals, to
head right to the school nurse — not stop,
talk to nobody, not even tell the teacher —
she had to go and just run for that school
nurse to get that Benadryl immediately. The
sooner she got it, the better she cleared up.
The problem here is there are peanut
products all over the place, and kids with
these allergies can’t control them. There are
kids and teachers and whomever walking
around the school with peanuts in their
pockets, candy with peanuts in it, whatever.
Benadryl was a lifesaver, but there was
also a problem with Benadryl, especially if
your child was in school. Your child could
become listless and very tired when they’re
young and taking this Benadryl.
I do not agree with the writer on all
peanut products should not be banned from
school. Most definitely, they should be.
Parents of these children with these allergies,
we teach our kids to be in control. We
teach our kids what to do. But we cannot
control the allergy if it affects our child. We
cannot control that. Kids can’t do anything
about it but head for the nurse and get some
medicine.
How do we expect our kids to be in control
when some other kids in the school aren’t
aware of the dangers and go on eating these
peanut products?
This stuff can kill. It’s not like the kids are
being deprived of any of these products.
They can, after school, go to the store and
buy something with peanuts, eat a peanut
butter and jelly sandwich when they get
home. I just think that the wishes should be
respected.
And they have banned peanuts on airplanes.
That’s a big deal for airplanes to do
that. That’s how serious it can be. I think it
should be banned from all schools — any
peanut product whatsoever.
Falling for
autumn
AS YOU
LIKE IT
MARK ASHTON
This is being written in appreciation of
fall, aka autumn, that wonderful, wondrous
time of year when foliage and fresh air clear
the head and heighten the senses.
We, as a people, a nation and a world seem
nowadays perilously preoccupied with
“being green.” But I’m so
much more enlivened by
the myriad hues and happenings
of autumn. Green
is your ho-hum everyday
American aspiration. I
think that as a nation and
a world we ought to aspire
to being autumnal — that
is, multi-hued, multi-talented,
multi-tasked and
multi-faceted.
I just wish that those
among us who are overtly
vegetable (as opposed to
animal) and prone to
“falling” from limbs and
branches each season were
more commercially marketable.
Take my backyard, for instance — please!
One of the five largest oak trees in the state
(I’ve been told) resides there in all its oaken
splendor, with hundreds of branches, thousands
of offshoots and twigs and other capillaries,
each of which culminates in a goodly
number of fruits and leaves. The fruits
thereof are acorns, which are clunking to
the ground in record numbers (and sizes)
this year, bringing smiles (and tiny little
backaches) to the squirrels trying to lug
them off to nests and nooks and aeries for
the approaching winter. The leaves are numbered
up in the gazillions — on this one oak
tree alone — and are already littering the
backyard lawn with misshapen brown remnants
of their original vibrant selves.
Can’t some enterprising young scientist,
some Billy Mays of October, come up with a
few commercially viable uses for these manifestly
overabundant droppings? Aren’t
these oak leaves laden with tannin? Couldn’t
they be used in manufacturing hair coloring?
Shoe polish? Coppertone products?
Aren’t they truly something literally to dye
for? Or maybe there’s a way to harness them
— compacted and compressed, perhaps —
for use as winter woodstove fuel, or even for
housing insulation, maybe even for composite
hardboard sheathing or paneling. I don’t
know how, but can’t somebody get to thinking
on these possibilities?
On the other hand, there are other things
I love about autumn as well, all of which
have to do with tradition. For one, there’s
the chance to walk down to a high school
football game, to find friends and acquaintances
gathered in a spirit of friendly competition
(until Thanksgiving Day, when it
becomes serious do-or-die time!), junk food
bingeing, joviality, fresh air, and fun. We
watched last weekend’s local game with a
friend who says he hasn’t missed the Turkey
Day Classic, between the Southbridge High
School Pioneers and the Bartlett High
School (Webster) Indians, in 55 years. We
hope he gets to keep the tradition alive for at
least another 45 years.
Also, fall provides us with better sleeping
weather, brisker breezes (but without the
nasty white stuff), end-of-season cornucopias
of tomatoes, squashes and pumpkins,
and the greatest fall blessing of all — autumnal
apples. I enjoyed my first native
Macouns of the season this past weekend —
like most everything harvested this year a
few weeks ahead of schedule, but just as
tart/sweet and rock-hard tasty as ever.
I won’t complain if there’s a bumper crop
of Macouns this year. Perhaps we’ll be
enjoying them even into the winter months
for a change.
I suppose that to some folks even raking
and bagging are beloved traditions, but I’ve
never personally gotten the hang of “enjoying”
such clean-up sessions. The bounty is
huge, but the benefits — at best — are minimal.
What we really need, of course, is the
Booker T. Washington of everything
Quercus. Forget the peanut, which already
has hundreds of uses and its very own wing
in the Pantheon of Useful Produce. It’s
about time we put the mighty oak to work as
well. Otherwise, left to its own devices, the
grandfatherly shrub in our backyard will
spend the next four weeks sending all of its
produce into two specific places: every gutter
and downspout of our bungalow; and
into the yard, which leads to the driveway,
front sidewalks, and street.
Which somehow makes all these leaves
MY problem and ultimately requires significant
labor on the part of someone to dislodge
(rake), collect (bag) and otherwise dispose
of.
At the very least, can’t someone find me a
way to charge the resident squirrels in our
neighborhood a fair market price for the
bounty they’re enjoying. Even at just a
penny per acorn per squirrel, I’ll have more
than enough to retire — in comfort — by this
time next year.

Prouty keeps rolling with Homecoming victory
BY DAVID DORE
NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
SPENCER — The David Prouty football team reached its
Sweet 16 on Homecoming night.
The Panthers earned their 16th straight victory Saturday,
Sept. 25 by shutting out Tantasqua 34-0 behind a combined
four-touchdown effort by seniors Zach and Mike Grasis.
Tantasqua could only muster three first downs against the
Prouty defense. But the Warrior defense did well, too,
stalling two Panther drives and not making drives easy for
the home team.
Prouty scored twice in the first quarter — the first on a
five-play, 55-yard drive ending with a 13-yard touchdown run
by Zach Grasis, the second on a Tantasqua fumble at the
Warriors’ 36-yard line that ended with sophomore Marc
Lamoureux also running 13 yards for the score.
“We came out slow the last couple of games, and we just
wanted to come out and score right away, get the tone set for
the game,” Mike Grasis said.
The second 11-minute stanza saw Zach Grasis take a kickoff
return around 60 yards for a touchdown and his brother
run 24 yards to put the Panthers up 28-0.
Mike Grasis also had a 2-yard quarterback keeper in the
third to cap a drive that took all but 28 seconds of the quarter.
It gave junior Brandon Comeau a chance to shine, with
eight carries for 38 yards. It also featured the return of a set
of lights at Eugene R. Hurley Memorial Field that went out
late in the first half.
Starting for injured starter Alex Lucas, Tantasqua QB
Randy Harrington handled most of what the Prouty defense
presented to him. The sophomore threw two interceptions in
the fourth quarter, including one deep in Prouty territory on
a promising chance to score.
“I’m disappointed that we lost, but I’m not disappointed in
the effort that our guys put out there,” Tantasqua coach
Aaron Powell said after the game. “Except for the punt
return, every time they scored they had to earn it. They had
long, methodical drives ... Our kids made them work for
every point, and I’m proud of that.”
On the other side, Prouty coach Andrew Tuccio said it was
“awesome” to get the win on Homecoming, and heartening
to see so much support for the team.
“It’s not just the parents,” he said. “The whole community
gets involved. We are supported by the town, by the parents,
unbelievable the amount of support we get out here.”
Prouty (3-0) will next host Burncoat at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1,
while Tantasqua (0-3) will head home to take on Leicester (2-
1), also at 7 p.m. Friday.

Oxford second-half surge too much for Minutemen
BY MICHAEL CORSO
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
CHARLTON — The Oxford football
team recorded a very impressive
road victory over Bay Path, 30-12, in
front of a packed George L. Fowler
Memorial Field on Sept. 25. A steady
running game, tricky play calling,
timely passing attack, and stalwart
defense were too much for an inexperienced
Minutemen team that fell to
1-2 with the loss.
Despite the defeat, Bay Path head
coach Al Dhembe couldn’t have been
more pleased with the way his team
fought until the very last second.
“I am extremely pleased with the
way our guys battled out there
today,” he said. “We played an
extremely skilled and athletic team
and we gave them everything we
had.”
Oxford (3-0) showed off its superior
athleticism early and often
against Bay Path, using a balanced
attack that kept the Minutemen
defense on its toes at all times. Senior
captain Nick Tessier received the
workload early on giving his team a
7-0 lead late in the first quarter following
a 2-yard touchdown run up
the middle of the Bay Path defense.
The touchdown run was set up by a
risky fake punt call by the Oxford
coaching staff that resulted in a first
down around midfield. Tessier finished
the game with a solid statistical
day carrying the ball 16 times for
80 yards and that first quarter touchdown.
The Minutemen showed resolve
using their offensive weapons to
strike back on their next possession.
Dhembe showed a lot of confidence
in his unit by going for it on two
fourth downs in that possession. Bay
Path was able to convert on both and
the last fourth down conversion was
a 9-yard touchdown pass from junior
quarterback Kyle Pearson to his
classmate Eric Edstrom. A blocked
extra point made the score 7-6 and
would also prove to be the closest the
Minutemen would get.
The rest of the game belonged to
Oxford’s junior quarterback Dylan
Bracewell and senior wide receiver
Kayvon Lewis. The two players were
a part of the final three touchdowns,
which put the game out of reach.
Right before the half the Pirates
were the benefactors of another successful
fake punt. The offense then
put together a long touchdown drive
thanks to Bracewell’s strong arm as
well as his deceptive running ability.
With 29 seconds remaining in the
half, Bracewell called his own number
and scampered nine yards for a
touchdown, giving the Pirates a 14-6
lead at intermission. Dhembe had
nothing but great things to say about
the opposing quarterback.
“He did a very nice job today,” he
said. “He’s an athletic player and so
is that entire team. I was very
impressed with his performance.”
Early on in the second half, Bay
Path threw a haymaker at the Oxford
defense that the Pirates didn’t appear
to be ready for. Bay Path came out of
the break and used a plethora of
offensive sets and plays in Dhembe’s
arsenal, which seemed to pay dividends.
However, following a timeout
by the Oxford coaching staff, adjustments
were made that stifled the Bay
Path offense and forced it to turn the
ball over on downs at the Oxford 16-
yard line. The remainder of the quarter
was a defensive struggle and saw
the score stay at 14-6 entering the
fourth.
That is when the fireworks went
off. On the very first play of the
fourth quarter, Bracewell hit a galloping
Lewis in stride for 34 yards
and a touchdown that sent the
Oxford fans into an uproar. That gave
the Pirates a comfortable 21-6 lead
early in the fourth quarter. On
Oxford’s next possession, Bracewell
and Lewis had the fans in the bleachers
feeling déjà vu as their next
touchdown connection was very similar
to the first, except this touchdown
was for 35 yards and gave the
Pirates a commanding 28-6 lead midway
through the fourth quarter.
“Lewis is an athletic kid. He’s got
size, speed, and a tremendous
amount of skill,” said Dhembe. “He
was a major contributor for them
today.”
The Minutemen were able to add a
late touchdown run by senior running
back David Prince on a sensational
reverse play that dazzled the
crowd. But that was all the
Minutemen could muster. Oxford
added two more points to its total
when Bay Path fumbled the twopoint
conversion and Lewis returned
it 99 yards.
“We have to work on the little
things in practice and cut down on
the mistakes that cost us today,” says
Dhembe. “If we do that I think we
will be alright.”
The Minutemen begin league play
next week when they face off against
Keefe Tech Oct. 2. The Pirates will
try to continue their winning ways
against at home against Southbridge
on Oct. 2
David Prouty band ready for another successful season
PROUTY
continued from page A1
Instrumental and Choral Conductors Association (MICCA)
marching band competitions throughout the years, entertains
at local parades, and is even invited annually to perform at the
Quincy Christmas Parade — one of the largest outdoor events
in the Commonwealth. The band also performed at the Eastern
States Exposition for Massachusetts Day on Sept. 23.
But despite the impressive venues, Waage is happiest performing
at home.
“I have to admit I really love the football games,” he said. “I’m
big on school pride and as a group we are lucky to play such a
vital role in the school community.”
This year, the band has something up their sleeve for the halftime
performances at football games.
“We’re playing the music of Queen this year, and I’m really
excited about it,” said Waage. “I always try to pick music that is
fun, challenging, that the kids will enjoy and that has a lot of
musicality to it. Queen’s music is all of those things — it’s very
musical, it has a lot of parts and it’s a lot of fun. Plus, it’s entertaining.”
The Queen compilation — which will start with “The Show
Must Go On,” then go into “Somebody to Love” and “Bicycle
Race,” and conclude with the famous “Bohemian Rhapsody” —

is what the marching band will take to three competitive
MICCA Marching Band Festivals this year. Competing against
schools from all across the state, David Prouty’s Marching
Panther Band will be evaluated on its halftime show by judges
in several categories such as overall music performance, visual
performance, general effect, percussion and color guard.
“[This year] we are a little young and inexperienced,” said
Waage of the band’s competition-readiness. “But I’m pretty confident
people are going to love our rendition of ‘Bicycle Race.’”
Getting ready for competitions takes a lot. Band members
receive their sheet music in March to prepare for the following
season. This allows them time to practice all summer before
their weeklong band camp before the start of the school year.
“Band camp this year was held the third week of August at
Camp Marshall,” explained Waage. “We use that time to learn
the marching drill and put it to music.”
But the preparations do not stop there.
“Once school starts, we have practice three to four times a
week until December. Plus section leaders will typically hold
sectionals once a week on their own time as well,” said
Waage.
It is a lot of work, but students are willing to commit
their time to the band.
“It’s pretty fun,” said Mike Lammi, a freshman at
David Prouty High School who is playing percussion for
the second year in the Marching Panther Band. “But

there are some hard parts. We have to work on our foot technique,
hands, and basically looking exactly like the person next
you.”
For Waage, the time and effort members of the band put in is
important not just to prepare for competitions and other performances,
but also because he said it builds students’ character.
“We have great camaraderie,” he explained. “I really enjoy the
teamwork aspect. There is a high level of commitment. Students
learn to communicate and work together as whole.”
That may be true of any other school activity, but Waage said
being a member of the Marching Panther Band is different.
“Unlike a sports team, there is no bench,” he said. “Everybody
plays.”

Keovongmanysar kicks Rams to victory past Wolverines
BY NICK ETHIER
SPORTS STAFF WRITER
DUDLEY — The Shepherd Hill
and Leicester girls’ soccer teams
were in a scoreless deadlock about
midway through the second half,
and both goalkeepers – Marissa
Mancini of the Rams, Jill
Witkowski of the Wolverines –
were each coming away with
tremendous saves.
Amanda Keovongmanysar of
Shepherd Hill then sent a high,
booming kick from 25-30 yards out,
and the improbable shot in the 54th
minute of action would sneak
under the crossbar and over
Witkowski’s outstretched arms to
give the Rams a 1-0 victory on Sept.
27.
“When we started playing our
game – short passing and getting it
to the outside – we started getting
more and more chances, and we
finally put one in,” Shepherd Hill
coach Jamie Gwosch said.
Gwosch added that
Keovongmanysar, one of the Rams’
top offensive producers, always
does good things when the ball’s in
her possession.
“You get her the ball, the ball’s
like Velcro on her feet,” she said.
“She can do a lot of things with it.”
Leicester coach Bill Harvey
thought his team played well at
times, but ultimately gave up one
too many mistakes and couldn’t
produce offensively.
“We had our opportunities and
they played a good game,” he
began. “Soccer is a game full of
mistakes. We made a mistake, left a
girl open in the midfield, and she
banged one in.”
Harvey added that the shot
looked like trouble from the onset.
“It looks benign but it’s really a
dangerous shot,” he said. “It’s [the
net] eight yards by eight feet, and
there’s not many girls who can
jump eight feet. She [Witkowski]
can, and it’s a timing thing. She
made a lot of high saves. They got
that one goal and we didn’t.”
But the Wolverines had many
opportunities throughout the contest,
including the two best chances
in the first half. Ryann Anderson
sent a shot to the high far post
going right to left, but the ball
sailed just wide. A few minutes
later Kate Kozlowski took a big
high shot that Mancini had to jump
to make the save.
“I think our goalie really stepped
up because they had some really
nice shots,” Gwosch said of
Mancini, who finished with 14
stops. “Their [Leicester’s] offensive
line is really quick and they got
some nice shots off, but we stayed
in and kept focused.”
Picking up the action in the second
half, Shepherd Hill’s Sam
Kasierski tried to break the scoreless
battle with a low bouncing shot
that was targeted for the left corner
of the net. But Witkowski (13 saves)
sprawled and made a sensational
stop, keeping the game tied until
Keovongmanysar’s game-winning
tally.
Leicester’s best chance of the second
half took place when they were
down a goal, as Allie Bostock stayed
onside and had a step on her
defender. But as the defender
approached, the ball ricocheted as
Bostock attempted a shot. The ball
came to Wolverines forward Erica
Kozlowski and she only had another
defender to beat for the goal, as
Mancini attempted to save
Bostock’s initial shot. But
Kozlowski’s bullet went wide right,
Leicester eventually ran out of
time, and Shepherd Hill walked
away with a hard-earned win.
“We need to learn better to dish
the ball back and take those shots,”
Harvey said in the need for
improvement category, citing the
way the Rams scored their goal.
“Every game’s important at this
point,” he added, as the Wolverines
dropped to 4-5. “We need to get wins
or ties. Losses don’t give you anything.
We’re just having a little bad
luck.”
Meanwhile, Shepherd Hill
improved to 4-3-1.
“We stepped up and played an
aggressive game,” Gwosch said, as
sophomore sweeper Lauren Barton
was credited as helping out
Mancini the most. “We have a lot of
young girls, but the attitude has
been great and they’re really motivated.”

Lady Indians rally past Pioneers for first victory
BY NICK ETHIER
SPORTS STAFF WRITER
NORTH BROOKFIELD — A typical
field hockey game consists of
two teams of 11 players competing
against one another. North
Brookfield fielded a team of 11, plus
various substitutes, but
Southbridge only brought nine
players to the field.
The Pioneers hung tough, and
even scored the first goal of the
game, but the Lady Indians began
controlling the field possession battle
and scored the next three goals
before escaping with a 4-2 win on
Sept. 21.
“It’s a big confidence booster,”
North Brookfield coach Sheila
LeBlanc said for the girls, who
upped their goals scored on the season
to five.
The previous Indians’ goal came
in a loss, and their only other point
came in a 0-0 tie with David Prouty.
North Brookfield is now 1-3-1 on the
season.
Meanwhile, Southbridge coach
Corey Pitcher was thrilled with the
way his team played, battling with
two players down for the entire 60
minutes.
“It was a great effort today,” he
said. “I was really proud of my
team. We worked well, we passed
the ball, we were down two players,
and it was 4-2. You can’t ask for
more than that.”
The Indians fired a few shots on
the Pioneers’ net in the early going,

keep the game scoreless.
Then, on Southbridge’s first shot
of the game midway through the
half, freshman Amber Peck found
the back of the cage to give her
team a 1-0 advantage.
Peck originally tried to fire a shot
on net, but North Brookfield junior
defender Brittaney Heyes blocked
the ball. A determined Peck then

“We’ve been working on that play
all week,” Pitcher said of Peck finding
an opening in the circle and taking
a shot on net.
The Indians tied the score at 1-1,
though, with eight minutes to play
in the first half, when junior Erin
McAuliffe took a high, bouncing
shot that got past Novia.
Senior Casey Newcomb was credited
with the assist, and both teams

With a newfound confidence
level, North Brookfield scored the
go-ahead goal after only four minutes
of second half action.
Freshman Brianna Kilborn took
the initial shot, Novia turned it
aside, but senior Chelsea Bergman
was there for the rebound goal.
With 12 minutes to play the
Indians opened up a two-goal cushion
when Kilborn fired a crossing
shot from the right side that found
the far left corner of the cage, and it
was now a 3-1 game.
But the Pioneers never quit, and
they got to within one goal when
Peck registered her second score of
the game. Possessing the ball just
outside of the crease, Peck dribbled
between two defenders, got inside
the crease, and rifled a shot that got
past Schimmelpennigh.
“She has a really strong swing,”
Pitcher said of Peck. “We worked
on getting into an open spot inside
Sportsmen’s Club to
give gun safety course
the scoring circle, getting the goalie
to move, and then taking our shot.”
“I didn’t feel like we were aggressive
enough and we sat back,”
LeBlanc said of the defense. “We
didn’t maintain our intensity. We
didn’t play well defensively.”
With 6:30 to play it was anyone’s
game, but the Indians did a good job
of keeping the offensive attack persistent,
and with 10 seconds to play
they put the game away with another
goal.
Senior Steph Matrow took two
shots at the cage, Novia made the
saves, but Bergman scored for the
second time after the rebound.
“Those last couple goals the legs
were tired,” Pitcher admitted of his
nine players and their endurance
level. “They were getting a little
wobbly, and that’s what happens
when you don’t have subs.”
Novia made 16 saves, and Pitcher
has been impressed with her second
year as Southbridge’s goalie.
“At the end of last season she
started coming around and started
to understand the angles,” Pitcher
said. “She’s really starting to get it
earlier in the season this year.”
And senior Katie Lora, now a second
year captain, has really helped
out the Pioneers’ all over the field.
“She is the all-around best captain
you can ask for,” Pitcher said.
“She does everything. She has a
really good field sense in what’s
going on. She has the skills, now we
need some people to help her out.”
On the other side of the field,
North Brookfield picked up its first
win, but LeBlanc noted how youthful
and inexperienced her team is.
“I started an eighth grader at
goalie, an eighth grader at halfback,
a seventh grader at midfield,
and a seventh and eighth grader in
my front line,” she said.
With about a month to work on
things for both teams, the Pioneers

Warriors, Pioneers take cuts at Cohasse Country Club
BY NICK ETHIER
SPORTS STAFF WRITER
SOUTHBRIDGE — Although the
Southbridge and Tantasqua golf
teams may be heading in the opposite
direction as far as wins and
losses are concerned, both the
Pioneers (0-10) and Warriors (7-3)
spent a beautiful afternoon Sept. 23
at Cohasse Country Club fine-tuning
their game as the season rolls
on.
Tantasqua defeated Southbridge
9-0 in the match play format.
Olivia Brooks of the Warriors
won medalist honors, as she carded
a 37 on the par-36 layout for ladies.
The Pioneers’ low round went to
Matt LaBonte, as he shot a 5-over
40, as Cohasse’s par for men is 35.
Both Brooks and LaBonte were
expected to have good rounds at
Southbridge’s home course; the
entire Brooks family has a membership
at the club, while LaBonte
has been the Pioneers’ top golfer all
season, typically breaking or
shooting around 40.
Other top scores for the Warriors
included a 42 from Ken Bowen and
a 44 from Kyle Libiszewski. Jake
Power’s 48 was the second best
round for Southbridge, although
Power typically cards rounds a few
shots lower.
The other Tantasqua golfers
included Brandon Trafford,
Andrew Serrenho, and Tucker
France, while Angel Aviles and
Eric Walsh rounded out the fourman
Pioneer unit.
Typically the Warriors would
have had Nick Champeau and Kyle
Soper in the six-man rotation, but
Champeau was at a college visit
and Soper was ill.
On the Southbridge side, Roberto
Palmerino, Xavier Miranda, and
Dalton Corbett also play, but sickness
and school requirements
forced the three to miss the match.
Tantasqua’s seventh win has put
them at a good place record-wise in
the Southern Worcester County
League, and their three losses
came from tough foes.
“We had three kind of expected
losses,” Warriors coach Aaron
Berthiaume said. “East
Longmeadow was really strong,
probably one of the stronger teams
that they’ve had. Even if we played
our best we probably wouldn’t have
kept up with them this year.”
Tantasqua then lost to league
rivals Auburn and Grafton, both
away.
“We hung tight, the kids played
well, and they grinded it out,”
Berthiaume said of the 6 1/2-2 1/2
loss to the Rockets. “Grafton was
the same point spread and that was
at Highfields. That has a big home
course advantage because there’s a
lot of trouble and our guys found it
all.”
Nick Ethier photos
Members of the Southbridge and Tantasqua golf teams stretch and focus at the first
tee box before the match begins.
Berthiaume is looking forward
to the Warriors’ upcoming home
matches with Auburn, Shepherd
Hill, and David Prouty, three of the
top teams in the league.
“At home those should be good
matches,” he said. “We should be
competitive with those guys.”
Berthiaume is also proud of the
commitment his team has put forth
thus far.
“They’re playing at least nine
holes everyday,” he said.
“Tomorrow we’re going to look at
swings [on the] videotape. It’s a
huge time commitment too.”
Despite the 0-10 record,
Southbridge coach Peter Frey also
has been impressed with his team’s
commitment to the game.
“Their hearts are in it and
they’re dedicated,” he said. “They
all have good attitudes.”
At first, Frey only had three or
four golfers signed up to play on
the team. But after some work from
many parties, the Pioneers have
been able to field seven golfers.
“We were just trying to keep the
team alive,” Frey explained. “We
actually fielded seven kids, and
half of the kids had never played
before Aug. 26. We put the ad in the
paper, the athletic director [Brian
Davis], and the kids worked really
hard on finding kids to play.”
And now that a full team has
been established, Frey has noticed
that his players are striving to
become better players.
“I told them we weren’t going to
have practice on Saturday and we
had four or five of the kids show up
on Saturday just to play anyway,”
Frey cited as an example of the
commitment.
Frey also realizes that golf can
be more than just a leisure high
school sport.
“They’re learning the game and
the etiquette,” he said. “Maybe in
business someday they’ll need to
play with customers, and this gives
them the opportunity to help them
out in the future.”
HIGH SCHOOL NOTEBOOK
Sept. 13
Bay Path 4, Nashoba Tech 1 —

boys’ soccer team.
Nick Masley and Josh Gauvin

hit a free kick from 25 yards out,
and it was headed by Larose. The
ball then went to Hale, who finished
the play with a goal to the near post.

Cogliandro aced the par-3 third
hole from 148 yards, using an 8-
iron.

The appeal of apples
Here in “apple country” we welcome
in the harvest season each
year with apple fairs, apple festivals
and various apple theme parties.
Going to the country on a weekend
afternoon to pick fresh apples from
the trees has become a tradition for
many New England families. And
coming home to steam fresh applesauce,
bake sweet pies, and candy
coat apples is a delightful autumn
ritual anticipated all year long!
In celebration of apple season,
this week’s column will feature
some interesting apple ideas and
recipes. And remember readers,
send in your best apple recipes and
you could win dinner for two at the
Publick House!
Note: Local growers report the
apple crop is early this year, so be sure to visit
orchards soon to get your pick of the crop!

PERFECT PICK
Can’t make it to the orchard to pick
your apples? In the store, look for
apples are firm with an even color
and smooth skin. A green stem
means the apples have been freshly
picked and not stored away. And if
the apple has a blossom, it should be
green.
CHILL OUT
Always refrigerate your apples. An
apple at room temperature spoils 10
times faster than if it’s refrigerated.
The optimum temperature to keep
apples at their best flavor is about 35 to 38
degrees. While refrigerators aren’t typically
that cold, be sure to keep apples in the chilliest
area of your refrigerator. To further

Artists use home studios to display art in tour
BY ANGELA L. ZAJAC
SPECIAL TO THE NEW LEADER
The private studio doors of 17
local artists will be open to the public
this weekend across the
Brookfields, free of charge.
Coincidentally, the fall foliage has
begun to turn in the area and there
is no better place to view it than on
the back roads of central
Massachusetts.
The fall 2010 Backroads Studio
Tour is a hands-on spin of the art
show. The beautifully mapped, selfguided
tour brings the show into
the artists’ actual home studios in
six scenic rural New England
towns: Petersham, Barre, New
Braintree, North and West
Brookfield and Ware. Their doors
will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday, Oct. 2 and Sunday, Oct. 3.
On the tour, one will encounter
the artists in their natural habitats:
their home studios.
“Artists like to engage with people
and we don’t have stores,”
explained potter Rebecca Webber.
The tour is also a means of having
the public get a glimpse of how
something is created and see exactly
how it is made. This hands-on
interaction with the audience is
what makes this type of art show
truly unique. The artists will
explain, display, sell and create
their one-of-a-kind work for the
public all weekend.
President Kara K. Bigda said,
“Come out and enjoy the foliage,
see the active artists in their studios,
visit the antique shops, have
lunch and celebrate the artistic
diversity in central
Massachusetts.”
Along the tour one will find
extremely talented local painters,
potters, blacksmith, woodworkers
and weavers, to name a few. June
Glidden’s enchanting bakeshop in
New Braintree will also be open
and stocked with her hand-decorated
holiday cookies — delicious
works of art in themselves.
For a full list of participating
artists and to print out a copy of
the tour map, go to www.backroadsstudiotour.com
or contact Bigda at
kkoz517@charter.net for a brochure
and membership information.
Twenty-two requests on

numbers must be placed “in a position easily observed from the street on a
year round basis.” Residents or property owners who does not know their
house number would have to contact the Board of Assessors “as soon as possible.”
The numbers themselves would have to be at least 3 inches high and 1 1/4
inches wide, and placed 3-5 feet from the ground. They would have to be
installed either on a sign no larger than 12 inches high by 12 inches wide or on
a mailbox if it is on the same side of the road as the building’s driveway.
For multi-unit properties, signs would have to be installed at the junction of
the driveway and the street, and at the spot where another driveway (or driveways)
branch off the main driveway.
The police chief or fire chief would, after 20 days, have the power to levy a
fine of $10 per day if numbers are not installed or currently installed numbers
become illegible and are not replaced.
The town bylaw would be in addition to Chapter 148, Section 59 of state law,
which says every building “shall have” a number attached to it — the same
information included in the Enhanced 911 system.
“Said number shall be of a nature and size and shall be situated on the building
so that, to the extent practicable, it is visible from the nearest street or road
providing vehicular access to such building,” the section states.
Fire Chief Robert Parsons said the proposed rules would give residents an
idea of what types of numbers to get (he noted “just about every house number”
people can buy at local stores is at least 3 inches high) and replace a bylaw
that “really didn’t define anything, other than it had to have a number.”
“When there’s an emergency, emergency responders will be able to find the
house a lot quicker,” Parsons said, explaining why he believes putting up
house numbers is important.
Money for work
Also on the Town Meeting warrant are requests to fund nearly $400,000 in
various projects approved by the town’s Capital Improvement Planning
Committee — which Selectmen Chairman Seth Fancher called a “significant
amount.”
“The question is, we obviously have a lot of capital needs,” he said. “Part of
the question is where do we spend the money, is it the right time to spend the
money?”
Not on the warrant, but coming up in the future, are the David Prouty High
School feasibility study and “no shortage of [other] projects,” Fancher said.
The projects would include $12,000 to renovate the animal control kennel at
the highway barn, $25,000 to make roof and soffit repairs to the police station,
$61,000 to repair the fire station roof, $96,756.04 to buy and build a storage building
at the fire station, and $190,000 to buy a 20-ton, six-wheel dump truck with
a plow and sander box to replace a 1984 dump truck at the Highway
Department.
Voters will also be asked to allow the Board of Selectmen to sign a lease
agreement of no more than 10 years for a brush mower for the Highway
Department, with a cost for fiscal 2011 not to exceed $12,000.
Article 20 asks for $7,500 from the Waterways Improvement Fund to pay for
state-mandated inspections and reports for the Sugden Reservoir Dam and the
Lake Whittemore Dam. Meanwhile, Article 21 (through a citizen petition) asks
for $130,000 from “free cash” to repair the Sugden Reservoir Dam. Fancher
said the reasoning for Article 21 was so that the water level of the reservoir
could go up and “increase their quality of life.”
Transfers and changes
In addition, voters will be asked whether they wish to:
• Reduce the maximum number of Finance Committee members from 15 to
11.
• Extend the amount of time people who live on private roads where the
Highway Department makes temporary repairs have to repay the town from
five years to 20 years.
• Rescind debt authorized at the 2009 Annual Town Meeting, but never
issued, for projects the town hoped would be funded with federal stimulus
money.
• Transfers of $5,000 to cover Town Administrator Adam Gaudette’s salary
for fiscal 2011, $12,800 to pay for hikes in the town’s liability insurance premiums,
$5,000 to hire a company to develop a new town website, $38,500 for future
land acquisition (for purposes such as open space) and $10,095.65 for unexpected
repairs to the generator that powers the police and fire stations.
• Appropriate $957 to pay a nurse hired by the Board of Health in fiscal 2010
for fluoride treatments at the town’s schools.

The building holds special significance to the 15-year-old
not only because it is his hometown’s Town Hall, but also
because he attended classes there when it was known as the
Memorial School.
Tyler’s Eagle Scout project consisted of installing three
birdhouses in trees around the Memorial Town Complex and
a picnic table, putting a fresh coat of mulch and some fall
flowers such as cale and mums in two flowerbeds — and putting
three benches in one of the flowerbeds, and putting
plants at the front and side entrances (near the library and
police station).
Tyler held a car wash in June at the East Brookfield fire
station to help raise money to bring his Eagle Scout project
idea to fruition.

Family Fun comes to St. Joseph’s in Leicester
LEICESTER — St. Joseph’s and St. Pius Parishes held their first Family Fun Fair Saturday, Sept. 25 in the St. Joseph’s
Church hall. It featured food, raffles, craft tables, baked goods, plenty of children’s games (including a “bounce house”) and
a magic show.

Effort starts to ‘Save the Train Depot’ in E. Brookfield
DEPOT
continued from page 1
Officials said they have not
determined if arson is
involved.
The depot is a classic
example of Richardson
Romanesque architecture,
designed by the esteemed
Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge,
officials said. The granite
and brick facade was covered
by a massive slate roof,
which collapsed into the
building during the fire.
Lambert said the group
hoping to “save” the building
would include railroad
enthusiasts, architects and
East Brookfield residents
who want to help keep the
history alive. That group
would be willing to move the
building, brick by brick, and
rebuild it.
“We’re looking for support
more than anything,” said
East Brookfield resident
Heather Messier, adding that
once complete, the building
could be used as a store, for
offices, or even as a new
Senior Center. “Even if it
can’t be rebuilt, at least salvage
something. It means a
lot to a lot of people.”
She and Lambert said they
understand that getting the
property from CSX would be
the first of many steps to
make the project happen.
“We know it would take
years,” Lambert said.
“Maybe when our kids are
grown, they’ll see it.”
Selectmen Chairman Leo
Fayard cautioned the group
that CSX might want to clear
the site as soon as possible.
“I think the problem with
CSX is that they just don’t
want people on their property
so close to the tracks,”
Fayard said. “But maybe
under the circumstances it’ll
be different.”
Building Inspector John
Couture said that because
the building was abandoned
and properly boarded up —
and because it is privately
owned — it was not subject to
regular inspections by his
department, nor in violation
of any codes.
“There’s no law against
sticking things in a building,
as long as it’s not gasoline or
anything like that,” he said.
“It was an old abandoned
building, and it was
secured.”
Couture said that as sad as
he is to admit it, he doesn’t
think the building is salvageable.
“I would say that structure
is totally gone — even the
integrity of the stone,” he
said.
Fayard said it’s depressing
to see such a beautiful, historic
building destroyed.
“I can’t even look over at
that side when I go over the
bridge,” he said. “It’s heartbreaking.”
Former highway barn
could be used by CSX
EAST BROOKFIELD — The CSX railroad company
may want to use the old Town Barn on Stevens Road as its
new site for storing railroad signals and other equipment,
said Building Inspector John Couture.
Couture told the Board of Selectmen he was contacted
by a member of CSX who asked if about the old building’s
availability. The old train depot, which used to house the
railroad equipment, was destroyed in a Sept. 18 fire.
The old Town Barn, on Stevens Road, was bought by the
town in 1941 and is in poor condition. It was used until
earlier this year, when the highway and other town
department moved to the new Department of Public
Works building, the former Verizon building on Route 9.
Selectmen said they would be willing to discuss the
matter with CSX.
The appeal of apples
HINT
continued from page 12
COFFEE CIDER
Apple cider is at its best this time of year,
and coffee cider merges the fresh New
England cider taste with classic coffee. This
hot drink is a favorite at fall get-togethers.
Here’s how you can make it easily in your
drip coffee maker: Place 1/4 cup of coffee
grounds and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
into the brew basket of coffee maker. Then
place 1/4 cup brown sugar or honey and 1 cup
of apple cider in the bottom of the pot. Add 3
cups cold water to the coffee maker and brew.
When brewing cycle is complete, stir until
well mixed. Serve in mugs with cinnamon
sticks. A quick note: The glass pot and brewing
basket may require a little more cleaning
after this recipe, but it’s worth it!

treat — sans the guilt!
core, leaving about an inch at the bottom.
Mix together cinnamon and about a cup of
granulated sugar substitute to taste. Arrange
apples in a glass baking dish. Fill each apple
with the cinnamon mixture. Add a dot of butter
or butter alternative to each apple.
Sprinkle raisins on top. Pour about 1/2 cup of
hot water into the bottom of the pan. Cover
loosely with tinfoil and bake for about 45
minutes or until apples are softened but not
overcooked.
Note: New England apples popular for baking
include Cortland, Rome, Jonagold, Gala,
Golden Delicious, Northern Spy, Ida Red and
Braeburn.
SHRUNKEN APPLE HEADS
Made from apples, these hideous heads are
sure to be the hit of your Halloween party!
Materials: whole apples, whole cloves, rice,
lemon juice, salt.
Instructions: Peel a large apple and brush
with a mixture of lemon juice and a couple of
teaspoons of salt to prevent browning. Use a
vegetable peeler or sharp knife to carve out
eyes, nose, mouth and ears. Don’t be too fussy,
as details won’t show once the apple has
dried. Some suggestions: Poke whole cloves
in eye sockets; place raw rice in the mouth for
teeth. Allow apples to dry in a warm, dry
place for two weeks. To expedite the drying
process, place apples in the oven at lowest
temperature for several hours, then allow to
sit at room temperature for a few days. Shape
the faces as they shrink and harden.

State mandates training to reduce brain injuries
BRAIN
continued from page 1
number one priority, but it’s going
to be hard to get these parents to
take the test,” he said, citing parents’
schedules, possible language
barriers and other concerns.
Reaching the coaches, he said, is
much easier — his goal is to have
them take the online course by Oct.
1. Some have already done so,
although Davis admitted computer
problems stymied his own attempt
to do it recently.
“Football and head injuries, concussions
— it’s a part of the game.
It’s a major concern,” Davis
observed. He said he couldn’t count
how many such injuries he has
seen in his 30 years of involvement
with sports, but added, “I think I’ve
seen my share of them. I’ve seen
enough that [this law] is warranted.”
He noted that Southbridge has
outfitted its players with “revolutionary
helmets” this year and
started having a doctor and EMTs
on the field at football games Sept.
10.
At issue is the fact that blows to
the head — and sometimes even
blows that do not directly impact
the head, but cause whiplash — can
cause a wide range of problems
that may not be immediately apparent.
Depending on the severity and
frequency of such blows, the damage
can become permanent and
sometimes even lethal.
Although a concussed person
may be briefly knocked unconscious,
they often are not, and their
symptoms take a while to manifest.
Those can include headaches, memory
trouble, moodiness, confusion,
poor sleep and vomiting, among
others. Most mild cases heal within
a week or two, but doctors note it is
very important to let the process
take whatever time it takes (and the
law requires a doctor or similar
professional to approve in writing a
player’s return to the game).
According to the Traumatic
Brain Injury pages at the
University of Nebraska — Lincoln
website (tbi.unl.edu), such new
injuries have a chance of being
lethal even days or weeks afterward.
Such deaths are impossible to
predict and most common among
junior or senior high school athletes,
“however, any athlete who
returns to play too soon is a possible
candidate.”
“A second blow to the head, even
if it is a minor one, can result in a
loss of auto regulation of the
brain’s blood supply,” the site
states. “Loss of autoregulation
leads to brain swelling. This results
in increased intracranial pressure
and leads to herniation of the
brain. The average time from second
impact to brainstem failure is
quite rapid, taking two to five minutes.”
That’s a rare but catastrophic
event; far more common is what’s
called “dementia pugilistica” or
“Boxer’s syndrome,” in which
repeated head injuries cause longterm
brain and neurological damage.
Such a condition can occur in
many sports, not just boxing.
That kind of long-term risk is
why Davis argues the law is too narrow.
To him, independent youth
sports leagues and cheerleading
should be included even though the
Mass. Interscholastic Athletic
Association doesn’t technically
consider cheering a sport.
“Why not? They’re being thrown
around and tumbled around, and
they’re not even wearing helmets,”
Davis said about cheerleaders. “…
It should be across the board. If you
get hit enough in youth sports, you
might not even be able to play in
high school.”
The state Department of Public
Health is in charge of drafting any
regulations related to this law.
According to DPH spokesman Julia
Hurley, the online training was
designed by the National
Federation of Coaches, and
although cheerleaders are exempt,
the agency recommends their participation.
“The key take away message from
this law is, if a kid suffers a head
injury in practice or competition,
they MUST be taken out of the
game and not return until they
receive medical clearance,” Hurley
stated in e-mail. “DPH is working
with the MIAA, the Mass Medical
Society, and the Trainers’
Association, among others, to
develop return to play protocols
that we expect to complete by the
end of this calendar year.”
The department’s letter to school
districts notes two places people
can find the training:
http://www.nfhslearn.com/elective
Detail.aspx?courseID=15000 and
www.cdc.gov/Concussion.
Independent sports groups are
also exempt, but Spencer Soccer
Club President Joe White thinks
they shouldn’t be. To him, any
effort to reduce the chances and
effects of injuries is beneficial.
“We have the same players playing
for the school as for the town.
The only difference is the organization,”
he said, later adding he’d
require his players to participate in
his club’s training session even if
they have already taken it through
the school or some other sports
group.
“It might be overkill, but in all
honesty I’d rather sit through it
three times than not at all,” White
said. “… That way you know everybody
had it, and no one falls
through the cracks.”
As one of the law’s sponsors,
State Rep. Paul Kujawski, D-
Webster, said the Legislature recognizes
there are still some unresolved
issues, but supporters felt it
was important enough to get something
in place before the sports season
started this fall to promote
greater safety.
“We had to begin somewhere, and
eventually we’ll amend it and
expand it,” Kujawski said.
Acknowledging the difficulty that’s
likely in reaching some parents, he
added the legislators were mostly
concerned about making sure
coaches “know and can see what’s
going on.”
The bill was filed by Sen. Stephen
Baddour, D-Methuen, and Kujawski
said he signed on after seeing something
on TV in which several sports
figures talked about the detrimental
long-term effects such injuries
had had on their lives. One was
wrestler Chris Nowinski, who
Kujawski said “had a career where
he was very wealthy, and now he
has dementia, has fallen into a
severe state of depression, contemplated
suicide and is nowhere in
life.”
Nowinski’s entry on Wikipedia
notes he suffered post-concussion
symptoms for a year after a
wrestling match in Hartford,
prompting his retirement. He later
started the Sports Legacy Institute,
which supports research into an
injury-induced degenerative condition
called Chronic Traumatic
Encephalopathy.
According to the Aug. 18 New
York Times, Boston University
researchers now theorize that N.Y.
Yankees great Lou Gehrig and
many others diagnosed with the
disease that bears his name may
actually have been suffering from
CTE. Gehrig was known for “playing
through injuries like concussions,”
and had experienced several
over many years in both baseball
and football, the Times reported.

Communities take part in DEA’s Drug Take-Back Day
DRUGS
continued from page 1
natural progression for me to want to get
these drugs off the street … and not have people
flush them down the toilet and damage
the environment,” she said before the event.
Afterward, she noted that the recycling
center already had a line of cars awaiting
entry when it opened, and observers later
noted a “rainbow” of pills in the collection
bin. Kaminski said the most common drug
received was warfarin (a blood thinner commonly
sold under the brand name
Coumadin), and she was surprised to receive
quite a bit of nitroglycerin (a heart medicine).
That drug was the only one that commonly
came in small glass bottles, “and its
pills are so tiny you can hardly see them,”
Kaminski said.
“We were very surprised. I didn’t anticipate
as many people participating as they
did,” she said. “Some people came with
garbage bags full.”
Protecting the environment might seem
like an odd interest for such an event, especially
since the DEA’s focus is definitely on
preventing diversion to illegal use.
According to the agency’s August press
release promoting the day, “medicines that
languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible
to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of
prescription drug abuse in the United States
are increasing at alarming rates, as are the
number of accidental poisonings and overdoses
due to these drugs.”
According to data at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention website, that
trend isn’t new. The site has a graphic showing
how unintentional drug overdose deaths
have taken on a “hockey-stick” growth rate
over the last 40 years, exceeding 27,600 in
2007. (That figure, however, fails to distinguish
between prescription and illegal
drugs.)
The site notes that “prescription or overthe-counter
drugs used non-medically” cause
an equal number of emergency room visits
as do illegal drugs. Almost 58 percent of the
first group has been cases involving opioid
painkillers (including Oxycontin) or benzodiazapine
sedatives.
Leicester Police Chief James Hurley said
his department encounters someone in possession
of prescription drugs they shouldn’t
have about once a week, and those cases often
involve multiple drugs. To him, it is driven by
several factors, including greater availability
of drugs in general, often “pilfered” by
youths from their parents’ legal supply.
“I see us as a society that’s becoming more
and more when we’re not feeling well, we
want a pill,” he said.
All too often, though, people don’t know
what to do with those pills when the illness
passes or the pills expire. Historically, it was
common practice — and even encouraged —
to just flush them, but studies in recent years
have been shown that the pharmaceuticals
are passing through sewer treatment plants
and having a detrimental impact on Nature.
This month’s Conservation Magazine, for
example, includes an article on severe antibiotic-resistant
infections that are killing
aquatic mammals around the world.
Researchers aren’t yet certain how they happen,
but know there is a human connection.
They’re becoming concerned some microbes
could decimate endangered species and/or
“jump back to land and sweep through
human populations,” author Rebecca Kessler
wrote.
“Widespread use of antibiotics in medicine
and agriculture has given rise to bacteria
that are invulnerable to many drugs,”
Kessler reported. “These resistant bacteria
have started spilling into the environment
and trickling into a variety of species … and
a whopping 16 percent [of samples tested in a
three-year study] were resistant to five or
more [antibiotics]. The star of the show was
found in a harp seal … that [microbe] was
resistant to 13 out of 16 antibiotics tested.”
The ecological impact of many drugs is
poorly understood, but studies have found
dozens of them in public water supplies and

rivers in small quantities. In some cases,
they were flushed directly, as intact doses. In
other cases, they passed through the person
who took them and were not completely
metabolized. And in still other cases, they
ended up in landfills, but leached into
groundwater.
Hurley said Saturday’s plan was to give the
drugs to the State Police, who would arrange
for them to be burned.
A page at the University of Arizona’s
Water Center website notes that drugs in the
water first became an issue in Germany in
the 1990s, but that was largely because earlier
observations by U.S. scientists of sewage
sludge containing aspirin, caffeine and nicotine,
and groundwater containing a cholesterol-lowering
drug were ignored.
Since then, the U.S. Geological Survey has
launched a nationwide study of hundreds of
water bodies to identify pharmaceuticals,
agricultural chemicals and other manmade
contaminants. Numerous links discussing
that research are at
http://toxics.usgs.gov/regional/emc.html;
the first one listed (as of Friday, Sept. 24)
detailed findings of antidepressants in fish,
water and sediment up to 5 miles downstream
from treatment plants.

TREASURES

WAYNE
TUISKULA
When a client calls me while
they are in the process of
cleaning out an estate, I
advise them not to throw
anything away before I see it. I have
had to recover a wide variety of items
from the trash that we were able to
turn into cash for them. I’ve retrieved
old postcards from the early 1900s,
sports equipment from the 1930s and
costume jewelry from the 1960s and
earlier.
In one case, there was some old
clothing that the executor was going
to throw away but we were able to sell
the Victorian era clothing that
brought the estate thousands of dollars.
Our next auction will be a specialty
auction where we will be selling
antique clothing, vintage clothing,
quilts, linens, textiles and buttons. An
auction house like ours typically sells
a wide variety of items from multiple
estates at each auction. We typically
sell everything from antique furniture,
paintings, Sterling silver serving
pieces and flatware to estate and costume
jewelry, pottery, glassware and
china. We also sell collectibles of all
kinds, including 1960s or earlier baseball
cards, comic books, vintage toys,
advertising signs and posters.
The estate that we are now handling
belonged to a woman who was a collector
and dealer of vintage clothing
and textiles. There are enough items
to warrant an auction with just her
collection. We have run specialty auctions
in the past when we have had a
large collection to sell. We typically
get a smaller number of bidders at a
specialty auction but the bidding is
competitive because all of the bidders
are collectors or dealers of those particular
items.
As with any other antique or collectible,
the reasons to collect it vary.
There are so many options that collectors
typically find a niche. I’ll give you
a short overview of some of these
areas.
1920 is generally accepted as the
dividing line between antique and vintage
clothing. As with most antiques
and collectibles, the earlier examples
are usually worth the most money.
Clothing from the Civil War era and
into the Victorian era late 19th century
are very desirable, with pieces selling
into the hundreds of dollars.
Brightly colored 1960s clothing in
good condition sells well. Collectors
are always looking for something out
of the ordinary. Campbell’s Soup
offered a paper dress that was said to
be inspired by Andy Warhol’s painting
of the Campbell’s soup cans. We
sold one at one of our auctions several
years ago that brought about $400 even
though it had some scratching and
soiling.
In rural America women were often
making homespun cloth. Flax was
grown and the fibers were collected.
They were washed and carded and
spun on a spinning wheel. The cloth
could be used for linen, bedding or
clothing. With the Industrial
Revolution, material became more
plentiful and cheaper and most people
began to purchase cloth.
Quilting is believed to have begun
in ancient Egypt. Around the time
homespun materials were falling out
of favor quilting was becoming more
widespread. Commercial materials
were being produced for quilts and
some of the scraps used in making
clothing were used to make quilts.
Quilt making adapted as it kept
pace with the changing times in our
nation’s history. Womenfolk.com “The
Art of Quilting” offers a great amount
of information on quilting and its history.
During the Civil War quilts were
sold to help support the troops and
keep them warm. Log cabin quilts are
made with a center shape, usually a
square with strips sewn in sequence
around the sides. “Womenfolk” states:
“The 1876 Philadelphia Centennial
Exposition was a big event in
Victorian society. One of the most popular
exhibits was the Japanese pavilion
with its fascinating crazed ceramics
and asymmetrical art.”
The photo that appears with this
column is of a pre-Victorian dress that
we will be offering at our clothing and
textile auction. We will publish the
selling price in a future column, or
you can attend the auction to see what
this and the other items sell for on
Thursday, Sept. 30 at the Vernon Hill
Post at 267 Providence St. in
Worcester. Preview of the items
begins at 1 p.m., and the auction is at 6
p.m.

• SPENCER NEW LEADER 3
Autumn in Spencer
BY JOSHUA J. SCHNARE
Summertime is coming to a close.
The nights are getting colder as the
shadows get longer. Soon hot dogs
and apple pie will turn to hot chocolate
and pumpkin pie. The trees that
contour our roads remain the same,
yet the leaves turn from green to a
luminous yellow and lustrous
orange. This makes Spencer a must
for any foliage trip.
I love watching the leaves twirl
and dance in the air on a breezy day.
I even like raking them up into piles.
It can be very therapeutic and can
make you feel a sense of fulfillment
when done. It is also a great family
activity. I do not look at raking as a
task, but as a break from the stress
life can dispense.
One of my favorite things about
autumn is breathing in the brisk air.
I adore the days that I can wear a
light sweater and be comfortable
outside. It is a nice break from the
humidity of summer and prepares
you for the blistering cold of winter.
I also like the aroma of smoke from
a chimney or a brush fire. It always
takes me back.
Let us not forget about the seasonal
fruit, pumpkins. Yes, a pumpkin
is considered a fruit. The health benefits
and many uses for a pumpkin
are astounding. Pumpkins are low
in fat, a good source of fiber and
have disease-fighting antioxidants
along with vitamins C and E. I love
everything about pumpkins, pumpkin
pie, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin
scented candles, pumpkin beer, and
last, but not least, jack-o-lanterns for
Halloween decorations. I really
enjoy going to Breezy Gardens and
picking out best pumpkin I can find.
Autumn has always been and
always will be my favorite time of
year and living in Spencer compliments
my feeling. Autumn to me is
the perfect medium. It is a feeling
like no other. I just wish it lasted a
little longer. For some reason, shoveling
snow does not have the same
therapeutic touch as raking.
Joshua J. Schnare is a resident of
Spencer.

style meetings.
Called “Talking Politics with Pete,” the

about his positions on the issues.
The first event will take place at 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Oct. 6 at the former Southbridge
RMV location in the Big Bunny Plaza on Main
Street.
“I think it is all together fitting that we hold
our first event at this location,” said Durant.
“While my opponent is busy cutting the ribbon
and claiming victory at the new RMV
location down the street, it’s important to
remember that he has been asleep at the
wheel from the very start of this debacle.”
In addition to the Southbridge event,
Durant will hold his Spencer meeting on Oct.
12 at the American Legion on Main Street,
and the Charlton event on Oct. 14 at the

Attempted house break
on Whittemore Street
LEICESTER — At approximately 9:45 a.m.
Monday, Sept. 27, according to police, a white
clean-shaven male, approximately 20 years of
age, operating a green four-door sedan attempted
to break into a home on Whittemore Street in
Leicester.
The resident was home at the time and had all
doors to the home locked. The man, police said,
rang the bell. When the resident did not answer,
as the resident was not expecting anyone, the
suspect attempted to kick in the front door. The
resident yelled they were calling the police, and
the man jumped into the vehicle, which was
backed into the driveway, and fled toward Bond
Street.
A search of the surrounding area by Leicester,
Paxton and State Police failed to locate the vehicle.
“Residents in and around the Whittemore
Street and Marshall Street areas should be particularly
alert, as there have been a number of
house breaks in this area,” said Leicester Police
Chief James Hurley. “Please report all suspicious
activity in your neighborhood immediately
to the Leicester Police Department by calling
911.”
Residents urged not to
leave valuables in cars
LEICESTER — Leicester Police Chief James
Hurley is reminding residents to lock their
vehicles, even when they are parked outside
their home, in the wake of several car break-ins
last week.
“Remove all GPS systems, laptops, iPods, wallets
and other electronic devices from the vehicle
when it is parked,” said Hurley. “The individuals
who are committing these car breaks
are targeting vehicles that have these items
inside. We made a significant number of
arrests of suspects who were committing car
breaks over the past few months thanks to tips
from alert neighbors.”
Plenty of kids’ events
are planned at library
SPENCER — The following events are scheduled
for next week at the Richard Sugden
Library:
• Monday, Oct. 4, 4-5 p.m.: Young Scientists program

STURBRIDGE — The 2010 Walk ‘n Wag is an
event that is fun for both dog and human alike.
It’s been labeled “the doggie version of a day at
the carnival.” And what’s best, it all benefits the
homeless pets that Second Chance Animal
Shelter in East Brookfield helps.
The free Walk ‘n Wag will be held from 10:30
a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3 at Hamilton Rod
and Gun Club, 24 Hamilton Road, Sturbridge.
Registration begins at 10:30, and the walk
begins at 12:15 p.m. A special reunion photograph
for Second Chance adoptees will be taken
at 11:45 a.m.
Animal lovers come to enjoy the canine demonstrations,
educational booths, compete in the
doggie contests, auction/raffles, food, the “doggie
boutique” loaded with lots of great stuff for
both pet and human alike, wonderful vegan
food, a fabulous chicken barbecue (advance
tickets required) — and more food, fun and
entertainment.
You don’t need a pet to enjoy the fun. Enjoy a
wonderful walk on the trails through the
grounds, or sit by the private pond and relax.
Get a chance to chat with other animal lovers
and at the same time raise needed funds for the
shelter.
And most importantly, walk to help homeless
pets. Enjoy a wonderful leisurely walk on the
trail. Your walking will help those that can’t
speak for themselves, a chance to stand up for
those that need us the most — our homeless
pets. You can walk with, or without, a pet. Wellbehaved
dogs are welcome to come enjoy the
day. Get pledges for your walk and you can even
earn prizes. The more you raise, the more
thank you prizes for you, too.
This is the 10th annual event sponsored by
Second Chance Animal Shelter. All proceeds
from the event go directly to help Second
Chance provide a second chance for homeless
pets. Get started right now by going to www.secondchanceanimals.org
and registering — it’s
free. You can even create your own webpage,
add your favorite pictures and raise funds
through your webpage.

Mazda CX-9 Improved for 2010
but it Was Already a Really Strong Crossover Utility Vehicle
BY KEITH GRIFFIN
At the beginning of its press
materials for the 2010 Mazda CX-
9, the company scribe wrote, “As
the saying goes, there is always
room for improvement.” While
it’s tough to dispute that statement,
kudos to Mazda for making
improvements and doing them
right. What was already a strong
mid-size crossover utility vehicle
has become that much better.
My first experience with the
Mazda CX-9 was back in 2007
when it was introduced to the
Northeast automotive media at a
hotel along the New Jersey
Turnpike. It was a utilitarian setting
for a decidedly non-utilitarian
looking crossover utility vehicle.
At the time I wrote, “The best of
the [CUV] breed is the CX-9. It
combines the driving aspects of
the Mazda6, from which it derives
its platform, with the functionality
of the Mazda5. The CX-9
embraces the concept of utility. It
has three rows of seating that can
accommodate adults in all positions.
Granted, the third row
would be less than ideal for a trip
from Boston to New York, for
example, but it’s sufficient for
three couples wanting to spend
the night on the town.”
A point made back in 2007 about
the CX-9 that still resonates three
years later is how roomy this
vehicle is inside without looking
large from the outside. There’s no
sense from the driver’s seat that
there are six people behind you
when the CX-9 is packed full of
human cargo.
So, how did Mazda improve on
the CX-9 with a “refresh” as they
say in the industry? The
Japanese automaker didn’t
attempt to graft the “smile” from
the Mazda3 onto the front of the
CX-9. Looks cute on the Mazda3.
Would have looked like “The
Joker” from “Batman” on the CX-
9. The overall exterior styling is
sharp enough to elicit positive
comments from passersby. This is
a handsome vehicle.
Another successful exterior
enhancement is larger side view
mirrors. Small mirrors on big
vehicles are simply impractical.
Mazda made the mirrors more
aerodynamic, too, so there is no
increase in wind noise from the
larger surface.
One slight misstep would possibly
be the new color: dolphin
gray. There’s nothing wrong with
the hue. The vehicle loaned to me
for a week by Mazda featured the
new color and it was quite attractive.
I just couldn’t get over the
fact that it was a shade inspired
by dolphins. Beautiful animals
but their coloring is bland at best.
Safety is a big part of what makes
the CX-9 stand out. It has one of
the best blind-spot warning systems
I have encountered in many
years of doing reviews. As I have
advocated in the past, properly
adjusting your mirrors negates
The Mazda CX-9 is another example of Mazda’s ability to design vehicles that look small from the outside but are capable of carrying
lots of people and cargo.
the need for blind-spot warning
systems 99 percent of the time
but I was the beneficiary of that
needed 1 percent with my family
in the CX-9.
It’s not necessarily a high vehicle
at 68 inches, but it’s reassuring
that the CX-9 has roll stability
control. As Mazda explained in
its press materials, the system
uses both body-roll rate and
wheel speed sensors to determine
when corrective action is necessary.
A momentary torque reduction,
combined with an automatic
brake application, assists in
restoring the CX-9 to an even
keel. Interestingly, most accidents
can be avoided with
momentary torque reductions,
also known as taking your foot off
the gas. That simple advice has
spared me many times in hazardous
situations. Foot off the
gas, then hit the brakes if necessary.
Just something to keep in
mind as winter approaches.
Pricing is good on the CX-9
because it comes standard with a
lot of equipment, like Xenon
headlights, rain sensing wipers,
stainless steel exhaust tips, heated
power driver and front-passenger
seats, keyless start and entry,
three-row side curtains and roll
stability control, that other companies
might charge you for. The
CX-9 grand touring trim with allwheel
drive starts at $34,215. (The
base model with front-wheel
drive starts at $28,805.)
The model I drove was $39,435
with the $750 delivery fee included
but that included two options
one could reasonably live without,
including Moonroof/Bose
stereo at $2225 and navigation
system at $1665. The moonroof
added nothing to my driving
experience and, frankly, I find my
iPhone works just fine when it
comes to giving directions and is
usually more up-to-date.
The Mazda CX-9 is rated at 15
mpg city and 21 mpg highway
with all-wheel drive. The frontwheel
drive version is rated at 16
mpg city and 22 mpg highway. In
our neck of the woods, you’re
going to want the comfort of allwheel
drive. The front-wheel
drive model costs $32,815, so it is
$1400 cheaper. It could be money
well spent, though.
